The Joe Rogan experience my wife I smoke on these and I didn't brush my teeth I woke up the next morning my wife said your breath is four-dimensional
He didn't brush your teeth before you went to bed and he smoked cigar. Of course, I didn't brush my teeth before I went to bed. Give a fuck. You know what I mean? You're married. You're married. She was like, I love you so much. Your breath is four dimensional. You know, these fires, I have two small children now. Because what I want to do is what you want to do is you want to get divorced and then you want to have get married again to a woman who's 23 years younger and then have two more kids because that's good.
And definitely takes a lot of financial stress. Oh, dude, there's no financial stress at all. It's great. You know what, if I hustle till I'm 80, I'll be fine. Anyway.
It's gonna be really awkward when I call you at 75. I just need help this month. But anyway, so I look at her and I go, she's like a girl from Jersey, like Irish Italian chick and no nonsense, you know, been working since she was 16. And I go, you know, we had an evacuation order that they sent out by accident to people even down where I'm at. Yeah, what was that? It was some guy who
fucked up because I don't know if you know this is going to be there's going to be shocking. Grab the table. LA's not run very well. Hold on. I know. Hold on. Hold on. What the fuck you saying? You can see here's the thing we have to worry about. I know. Isn't the chief of fire department a lesbian? Hold on. Let's not turn this into. Listen, here's the bottom line. It's run amazing. It's not about infrastructure. Infrastructure. I won't sit here while you disparage the great people that are running Los Angeles. Sir, infrastructure's got to take a backseat to climate change and social justice and homeless abatement, which has
See the lady who's responsible for filling the fire hydrants kids paid seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year Hey, your tax dollars going to good work there everybody. That's a lot of money. You think that's sitcom. I think I said like I'm the star of a sitcom. Oh, dude. It's star, but like you're the third person. That's that's a high wage sir 750 grams. Oh, yeah, a city employer who's just like fill that one. Oh
How the aquifers, how the aquifers today, get the water in that one. You know what, we gotta protect the delta smelt. Yeah. Which, whatever the fuck that is, so we gotta, we gotta, you know. Trump was talking about that on the podcast, on the podcast I did with him. Trump was going on this long rampage about Los Angeles and the fires and how it all can be prevented and they could have plenty of water. He explained the whole thing and he's right. Here's my whole philosophy. You guys know, you know that we have a tinderbox.
And you can say that there are a lot of people that live there. The fires are always a potential. If that's the case, then please make sure the fire hydrants. We've got to be able to figure that out. You guys in L.A., California came up with AI. I mean, the Silicon Valley, it was pretty innovative people. Let's figure out a way to keep the fucking- Very different people. They are very different people, sir. That's like saying people in America. Yeah.
are homeless and also Elon Musk, you know what I'm saying? Well, get some people down in government who are innovative like that. What the fuck are we doing? And do that job. Do you know the city council of Los Angeles? Four of the members of the city council are far left social democrats.
How about that? There's zero, there's zero pushback on ideas. It's just all. Yeah, it's all an echo chamber. Well, I'm hoping now that this is a giant wake up call for these people. I mean, there's no positivity that's going to come out of a horrific fire like that.
but it at least at a wake cuz look that area you know adam korola was on someone show talking about this and he said something that's like very are i think he was actually doing himself yeah about permits yeah well he was just saying that there's
80% of the people that live there are far left. 80% of the people that got their houses burned down from complete total incompetence and lack of management. That's total incompetence. Yeah. 80% of those people are far left people. And that's a giant wake up call when you realize, like, no, this, these fucking people, this is not the way to do it.
Did you see that lady, the fire lady, who's a part of this whole diversity thing, and they said, you're a woman firefighter, can you carry my husband out of a burning building? She was like, well, if your husband's in a burning building, he already made a mistake. So she's a big old sassy fat black lady. Yeah, my favorite was that one of the women said, you want people to rep to look like you?
And I'm like hey lady when when my house is on fire, and I'm trying to get my kids out I'm not gonna be like hey I got I can I get some people that look like me because this this doesn't make me feel like like Brian Shaw So fucking wall looking like no They look like a white walker and they can get me out of that fucking fire. I'm in I'm a giant dude with a mustache that goes like yeah, right and handlebar
I'm so gay that when I saw, they came by, I saw some firemen, and I didn't know what to do. I wanted to say something like, go get them guys or something like that. And I literally went like this. I went, I saluted them. I went, that's good. It's embarrassing. It's an acknowledgement. Yeah, but my wife, my wife is so funny because my wife is very handy. And I said,
And we had an evacuation order. I looked at her and I go, I've got to go do Joe's podcast and then shoot my special at the mothership. But I feel guilty about leaving you here. And she goes, what are you going to do? You can't change a tire. I got this. All right. All right. See you later.
So yeah, I don't know. I would have felt weird about leaving them too. Even though you're in the safe space. I'm an area where I'm good. Yeah, you're good for now. This is the thing about LA that, you know, there's a viral clip that's going around now of a conversation that I had with Sam Rell a while back. And we were talking about when I was on Fear Factor, how this fireman told me that this was going to happen one day. So it's just a matter of time. Yeah. With the right wind, he's like, we won't be able to stop it.
Yeah, that's gone viral. And then the Trump thing went viral, too, because Trump was saying that they need to do something to change this. They need to clean up the forest, get rid of all the dead wood. Yeah. All these things could be done. Get rid of all the brush, get rid of all the dead wood, open up that fucking water from the north to come down. This idea that, do you know that the whole center of California used to be a lake? No. A giant lake? No. Bro?
I found out about it about a year ago. Really? It's crazy, young Jamie. Wait, do you see how big this fucking lake was? And all of it, all of the is all meddling and fucking around by humans. Did I ever tell you the conversation I had with Arnold Schwarzenegger? I was with John Legos. Did he say screw your freedom? No, he didn't say screw your freedom. Screw your freedom.
He said, this is a paid advertisement for better help. Life is kind of like a book, and every new year is the start of a new chapter, except in this case, the pages are blank, and you can write whatever the fuck you want. Maybe you're working towards buying a new home, maybe you want to learn how to garden or pick up hunting, or maybe you want to work on your relationships.
However you want your story to play out, it's going to take work, dedication, and a little bit of help. Even the greatest authors have an editorial partner to bounce ideas off, and that's nothing to be ashamed about. If you need some help living the life you want, therapy is always a great place to start.
Therapy is for everyone, not just people who've gone through a major trauma. It can teach you valuable skills, like how to cope with stress, how to communicate better, how to set boundaries and more. One of the best ways to get into therapy is better help. It's entirely online, so it's easy to get started and more affordable too. And as the largest online therapy provider in the world, better help can provide access to mental health professionals with a diverse variety of expertise.
write your story with better help our listeners get ten percent off their first month at better help dot com slash jr e that's better h e l p dot com slash jr e so i'm i'm with john because i'm we're doing that movie right along and john goes uh... they stick around and i will have some dinner with a friend might come by i know it was our shows up with his assistance come cool and i'm a fan
So we're sitting there and I just read a book on California politics by Michael Lewis called boomerang about sort of like how a lot of the towns like Stockton went broke because of the pension plans and all that shit. Blah blah blah. I thought it was a Diaz brothers running around slapping people. It is that. It is that. It's a lake. Check this out. Look at the size of this lake to layer lake.
What? Largest freshwater lake without the Mississippi. Largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi. What? It used to be fucking huge. Show a photo of what it used to look like. So it was all agriculture. They fucked it up. Oh, because they drained it, right? Look at the size of it. What the fuck I beg it was. Look how fucking big that is. And now it's just gone. Gone.
Apparently, it's refilling. Well, I guess we needed it for it to grow all the oranges, right? Shut the fuck up. I mean, you know, it became needed for almonds. For the only salad. I'm a milk. There's one amazing photograph of this guy who was squirting almond milk on the fire outside of his house because that's all he had. Is that true?
He had two quarts of almond milk. There's like this soy man, this literal human water balloon. Oh, look at that. God bless him. Dude, that's when you're really trying. That's when you're trying. That's just a last stand, bro. That's a last stand. No, you should have been out. You got to get out of there. You got to accept. I've been evacuated three times. Have you really? Yeah, when I remember when you came here. I've been evacuated three times.
You know, it burnt two houses in front in 2018. Two houses in front of my old house or burnt to the ground. Well, that video I showed you at my friend's house that just disappeared. And then you remember I said that video of him driving down the PCH? Those guys are coming to my house because where I'm at is the only place that's where the air is breathable and all that. Well, we have a barrier between the 405 and also the airport. So it's really, we're pretty safe.
Yeah, pretty safe. The thing about, I mean, this is from someone who's been through it a few times. You don't understand. You think it's just a fire. It's not. It's a storm. Yeah. So I saw fire tornadoes until you've seen a, yeah, I saw fire tornadoes. When we are filming, we're filming on Fear Factor. And ironically, this was
the same time where this fireman was explaining to me what's going to happen in LA. We're filming Fear Factor and when we were driving back, the entire, I watched the guy die. I watched the guy run across the highway and get hit by a car. What the fuck? Yeah, I didn't see him get hit by a car, but I saw him. Jesus. He was, and my producer, the producer of the show, apparently saw more. He saw like graphic.
People were panicking. There was asphalt in the sky like it was snowing. It was crazy. And everyone's driving. And no one, everyone's got this like somber, like 50 mile an hour driving the entire right side of the highway for an hour. Like what? We were filming that heat, right? Yeah, we were filming off the five. So we were like way up by, you know, like as your head. Seemies out of the field. Bakers feel like that. It's not off the five or the 10.
whatever the fuck it is. We were pretty far away and it was a whole hour driving back where the whole right side of the highway was in flames.
I mean, completely engulfed like a Lord of the Rings movie where you're waiting for Sauron to come riding on an evil horse over the top of it. It was nuts. It was fucking nuts. And you see fire tornadoes, man. The fire was fucking insane. There's nothing you can do. And it's flying through the air. So you're worried your car's going to catch fire. One of the things that happens is
People get stuck on highways, cars catch fire, and the fire and the winds just roll through the whole highway. Everybody burns alive inside their cars. What? Yeah, that happened. What is it, the camp, park camp? What was the big fire in California? Oh, that's right. That's in California. And the other people died in their cars. Horrifying. Horrifying. You know, I got to tell you, the crazed thing about the Pacific of Palisades was that eight years ago, probably eight, maybe almost nine years ago, I looked at houses there with my ex-wife.
And we came so close to my house because it was, it's such a beautiful place. We didn't buy it because it was a little too expensive to be honest with you. It was like, it was like, you know, just a little out of our price, you know, point. But even like for a smaller house, it was expensive, right? But it's beautiful. Maybe the last thing, the last thing you would ever think, the last thing is.
Um, that, that house would burn down or there was a fire hazard, especially down like where Gelson's was or the whole town. That dude, when I'm saying the town is gone, you know, the only structure of the standing is that guy Caruso, that mayor, the guy who ran for mayor, who narrowly lost to Karen Bass, he built that mall out of fire retardant material. And that's the only structures that pretty much downtown that are that in the town of Calip, uh, Pacific Palisades, Frank Grillo, our buddy, his old house burned right to the ground. Just done.
just as the girl's house burnt the ground everybody's that didn't know good since yeah male givens look at that dude it's insane in a million years i'm telling you know when you thought out nobody said saying about the race that's so and by the way fire insurance in l.a. what look at that one house perfect isn't that crazy that's crazy what's that made out of
I don't know. I think just the wind blew different direction or something. I don't know, man. I think it's got to be what the house is made of because that wind's blowing everywhere. No, I don't think any house stands that kind of fire. Are you sure? Yeah. How do you know? Are you a builder? I am. You're not a builder. That's Brian Kalins. Nah, man, I don't need anything. Can you make a house out of all concrete? It doesn't matter. How's that one house? Look at that one house. That guy. That's a question. Like the fucking Lotto, son. No, it's wind. Look at that, though.
we'll be here's the thing that you don't want to live there now if you're that house on the corner and everything you look at as devastation well the schools are gone right right the schools are going to be here's my other thing here's the question i have okay so you see that right now
Who is going to rebuild there and who's going to who's going to finance it? Are you going to get what kind of insurance? You're not going to get insurance. So are you going to get insurance? Is a bank going to finance that? Would you want to rebuild there when you have to wait for a gas station for a grocery store? There's nothing there. So to me, I don't understand what I don't know what happens to that very valuable property.
I don't know what happens to the entire city now because people are looting like fucking crazy. Gigantic groups of a hundred men organized are pulling in the neighborhoods that are being evacuated, smashing through doors and pulling out TVs. There's film footage of them. There's also a bunch of people that are being caught setting fires. I think they should be put to death.
One guy got caught setting fires and he had a UN debit card. What? And he had a bunch, I'll send it to Jamie. The guy that got arrested for, I'll tell you which, which fire it was, but he got arrested. He had a UN card. I'll tell you exactly. This kind of tragedy brings out the best in people and the worst in people.
The one thing it does in these communities is it brings all these people together. You know, my buddy started to cry because I was on the phone with him. He lost everything, right? And they're going to come stay with us. And he said, when I was on the phone, some of these people dropped by and dropped off clothes for them. And he's got a lot of money. And he started to cry, man. He was like, I can't tell you how many people have reached out. He had five cell phones and the United Nations prepaid debit card.
I I'm skeptical. Is this course you are conspiracy always skeptical is this conspiracy? I just don't want to be played now I think the New York Post did a thing about it. You know what I mean though? I don't want to be played. I don't know what's true. Maybe the New York Post didn't post that he had the debit card. Yeah, I don't know what's getting us from the Texas Patriot Twitter account. You see I told you I'm I'm already like I don't know
They said that the New York Post has edited the info out of their article. Thank you. Why because it's not spreading rumors Joe Rogan. Thanks for your account said that. Oh, so then oh, you got you got played. Maybe not. Maybe the New York Post are a bunch of pussies and a bunch of libtards. The New York Post is very conservative.
They are kind of. Yeah. Yeah. But I got to tell you, this is, I do think this is how this, there's a sea change here. You got to have people with opposing points of view that are pro business, et cetera. You have just all progressives in Sacramento and if you've got on the city council, but you know what? Until Angelina's wake up and start voting for intelligent people.
who are not forget right or left. How about practical people who understand infrastructure, who put infrastructure? Like Rick Caruso. Yeah, because the roads, I live there, man. The roads, the fucking power line, it's all from 1950s, okay? So it's all above ground, by the way. Correct. Which is a real problem when the winds start blowing like that. Correct. Which is what happened in Maui as well. Yeah. If you don't believe in direct energy weapons.
Yes, I forgot about those from space. I wonder who's controlling those. No, they're in the Antarctica. The Rothschilds. Yeah, the Rothschilds. Yes, there's a cabal of Jews. Yes, the invisible circle of Jews. That's what every conspiracy theory always goes right back to that. I'm just saying. Yeah. But, you know, the Mossad and the IDF and like the influence on politics is pretty well established.
Like, there's both things. It's like, no, it's not that the Jews aren't the problem in the whole world. No. And when everything goes sideways, people always do start blaming the Jews. Did we ever figure out who said that to us? Was it Jordan?
Was it Jordan who started talking? Where's it Gadsat? Who started talking about it's one of the marks of a collapsing society when they start blaming everything on the Jews? They blamed the Black Plague on them. They're like, you guys cover your wells. My thing about that is whenever people go back to the Jews and they're like, yeah, do you like Hollywood? They invented that? Yeah. And improv. Maybe not. And monotheism. Maybe that's not good. But then also... And stainless steel.
And virtual reality? Yes, and virtual reality. Listen, they have laser beams. Eastern European Jews have more Nobel Prizes than I think any other ethnic group. They're incredible. Nobody wants to. Incredible group of humans. Let's talk about art and everything else. Einstein, Freud, it just goes on and on.
So you're going to have the comics, the comics. Oh my God. She's one of the funniest people of all time. One of the greatest of all time, Lenny Bruce. Thank you. Thank ground breakers. The literal starter of this whole thing. Ground breakers. Yeah. So I always say that. You're going to have very individual. Also probably funding Epstein, but also probably running a gigantic blackmail ring where they have control over all the politicians in the country. I might be doing that too if I if my survival depended on it. Especially if you're smart.
and you're like really good at chess, like I know what to do. These guys like the fuck. Let's set them up. Have we ever, has there been any, what is the, with the list? Here's my theory on the Jeffrey Epstein team. Let's see what you think. Oh, I'd love to hear this. I think that the people are so powerful that I know in certain cases the lawyers go to the lawyers of these powerful people and they go, how you doing? Now.
We got some evidence that your client, who's a family man and everything else, was banging girls on Jeffrey's Island. Getting pissed on. Yeah, whatever it is, bro. Get this nuts, put it in a sin. Sure. We got little kids are shitting in his mouth. Sure. Hey, dude. Hey.
Hold on. What podcast is this? They're doing drugs. They're doing drugs. They're taking wild chances. As I put this shit cigar on my mouth. These are good cigars. Delicious. Shout out to foundation cigars. Yeah, it's great. But I think what happened was there was a lot of money and every one of those fucking people got paid off. I think it just went away because there's money. They came to these really rich people and they were like,
What's your privacy worth? What's your reputation worth? How about 10 million? How about 20? Well, this is the whole suspicion as to why the guy who was the CEO of Victoria Secrets gave Jeffrey Epstein a fucking $60 million mansion in Manhattan. And controlled this whole estate. Yeah, and then there was the other guy who was some big CEO who gave him $150 million and had to resign.
Yeah, a bunch of these guys resigned money got passed around and Unbelievably the client list has not been released. I know I mean, it's he was very good at laundering money. I guess
And he was also even though, I don't know what he really did. You know, the person do I trust about those things is Eric Weinstein. Another Jew. Yes, Eric. Another brilliant Jew. I love Eric. One of my favorite people. He's amazing. But when I talked to him about it, he actually met Jeffrey Epstein and he said, and Eric is just way too smart. You know, he's not a guy that you can fool.
Right. He was like, this is a construct. Right away. That's what he said. He said this guy's a construct. He said that he had a woman, like a 21 year old girl that was sitting on his lap and he kept kind of like nudging his knee up and down to make her tits bounce a little bit. He kept doing that while I was talking to him. He's like, what is this? And he's like, also, this guy does not know what he's talking about when it comes to finances. You know, like Eric's a legitimate genius. Correct.
You know, a mathematician. You can't lie to him about stuff like that. Or tell you his theory on what he thinks this whole thing is. This whole, you know, it's a simulation or whatever. You're here. He's because, you know, so Newton, there's Newtonian physics, right, which is this matter here. And then there's quantum physics study of the electron that Einstein was the pioneer of and blah, blah, blah.
So Einstein was working on what's called a theory of everything, which was the bridge. How do you, how do you, because a lot of times the rules in this ether in Newtonian in the world that we live in are different with when it comes to gravity and light, then they are on a quantum level. So what is the bridge? How do we bring them together? Well, how do we reconcile both realities? Right. So that's the theory of everything. So Eric is obsessed with that and kind of works on that. We made his own theory of everything.
Yeah, so his idea is that maybe the singularity is already here, and maybe we're already machines. And we are so, so watch this. So we're already machines replicating better machines, better versions of ourselves. And it's kind of an interesting cause, cause the kind of full dovetails with Buddhism, right? So watch this. I'm going to do an experiment on you that, that Buddhist Rinpoche will ask somebody. Get, get, get, get in the lotus position. There it is.
How, there it is. Dude, good breathing. Good breathing. Too much in this guy. Too much gang energy. We're doing a DMT breathing today on Instagram. He was explaining how to spike your DMT and communicate with entities. And he was saying how you compress your balls and your asshole and all your sex organs. And then through your abdominals and you exhale all your breath.
And you get a breed like this. And then you come and you get that DMT flow. Oh, is that what you get? I don't know. It doesn't work for me. It's not working with one. Did you have a bone or when he was telling you this? Like most of these things take a long fucking time and I'm busy. I'm busy, dude. I'm busy and I'm easily distracted. I have a lot of ADD. I'll just lick a toad.
Well that's like my buddy did that shit and he did he looked at he did the toad thing. Oh the toad thing's odd. He called me and he goes everything's different now. I'm like all right calm down. But that's five methoxy. That's five methoxy. Have you done it? The thing about Kundalini yoga and all these different ways where you can achieve those states like Terrence McKenna had a great line about that.
He's like one time the Buddha came to visit this town, and this monk came to the Buddha, and they said, I have practiced a city of levitation for 10 years, and now I can walk on water. And the Buddha says, yeah, but the fair is only a nickel.
And that was McKenna's take on, why would you do this when you could just take psychedelics? You don't really have to fucking meditate for 10 years, homie. You missed out on a lot of enlightenment while you're staring at a corner of the wall. Yeah, you hear those guys a lot. That's kind of why.
Like Zen masters will say, I have nothing to teach you. Because part of you, so the idea would be you can't improve yourself. What? Because because the part of you that wants to improve yourself is the part that needs improving. So until you get out of your own way, and you realize that this construct called yourself is an imagined construct, you've invented this.
So like Sam Harrison, and he studies the Vedanta, right? So in his book Spirituality or that religion, he does his experiment, which the Buddhists will have you do. They'll say, so you're watching me right now. I'm talking.
Now, there's this guy named Joe Rogan. And we know Joe Rogan's got this. But for a second, try to locate where you really are. In other words, where are you actually listening to me from? Where are you? Where is the seat of your attention? Are you behind your face? Are you here? And if you try to do that, it's kind of impossible to locate
where you're hearing me from. There's this sort of echo, this idea that you're not. This is a lot of mental jerking off. I'm right here. I'm looking at you right here. I hear you. You know how I know I hear you through my ears? Because if I plug this one up, it sounds different. And if I plug both of them up, I don't hear you at all. I'm assuming the sounds coming in here. I'm right here. I'm talking to you. You're still attached to your physical self, sir. This is all like the children of rich kids who sit around pondering the universe. Dude, this is
Boone is it, man? Come on. You're not even a good student. They take a backpack and they go on a trek and they stay in hostels because they're amazing. I turned him. I turned him to the other member. He's not ready yet. He's not ready. We have to break him down further.
Yeah. No, there's something to that. All bullshit is hard. Yeah. It's a really weird exercise. Yeah. Because the idea would be you can observe your brain. So you can observe your thoughts. You can observe your body and you can observe your emotions. You can actually step outside and watch that stuff. And they get really good at that. Like they get really good at realizing that you're none of those things. You might be the observer, whoever that is or whatever that is. And that's kind of where they
It's kind of an interesting exercise. That's why you see these dudes, that guy, that monk who set himself on fire, right? In 1963, that's right. David Halberstein from The New York Times said he didn't make a sound. They watched him and he literally, they heard the air leave his lungs and he just fell over. So did the lady on the subway. She didn't make a sound either. Well, she was also probably asleep or something. She was until she was lit on fire. Jesus Christ.
Yeah. So I don't know. But the idea would be... Yeah, I've never seen anybody. He never moved. Burning, covered, engulfed in flames. He might not be able to talk. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, but he also didn't move. So he stayed there. Oh no, it was an incredible display of will. So he left his body. He was watching himself. That would be the idea behind it. That's what they would say. Or he had incredible discipline and through insane pain, he sat there. Yeah.
Well, have you seen those videos? How about when the Indian Army went up, this is recent? That is such a fucking crazy photo. Jamie, bring up the Indian Army. Hold on, pull that photo back again. It's incredible. Look how insane that photo is. That guy is just sitting there. Completely engulfed in flames. The way the president of South Vietnam at the time, who was a staunch Roman Catholic, was treating Buddhists. And he said, please have some compassion and let himself on fire. Jesus Christ. What a bad motherfucker. Now,
That's a good argument for celibacy, because if that guy's getting a lot of pussy... But that's right, because you're attached to a sensation. So they rip themselves... I have an easy way to mouth. If you burn me with this cigar, I'd be like, fuck it!

Yeah, I think all those things are tools to try to break out of the ego. Right. It's all the problem that most people have, they think about themselves all the time. And the worst version of it is extreme narcissism, you know, it's sociopathy. And then the best people or the people to think about others more than they think about themselves. Those are the people that we admire the most, the people that like genuinely think about other people. That's right. A lot. I think
One thing that I really genuinely do try to do is I try to not think about myself. I think about things that I must do.
I do think about things that I don't like that I did. I don't like how I handled that conversation. Maybe I was coming in a little hot, maybe I was coming in at a five, and I should have been in a two, and maybe the reason why I became a contentious argument was my fault. And I'm so much better at that than when I was younger. I can have a conversation with someone that I've vehemently disagree with and keep it very civil.
Yeah, when we were younger, both of you and I, we'd start shouting our opinion. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's about winning. Also, we were all retarded. Yeah. And we were young and stupid and we had bad role models. There was a lot of things going on there. The worst. You know, and they're like, man, would shut the fuck up. They're like, men would talk like men. And I also like, I grew up essentially feral. I didn't have any like normal structure. I feel like I did a little bit too.
Well, you certainly did. You traveled all over the country, all over the world. You were in a boarding school when you were in high school. Like 13. Like we talked, I remember talking to you about your live store. I'm like, it's amazing you're not more fucked up. You should be like really fucked up. It's my aunt and uncle said they go, we just can't believe you're not in jail or fucking on drugs or that, you know.
Well, you became the best thing for someone who's fucked up, which is a comedian. My parents were awesome, though. They loved the shit out of me. That was a huge part of it. Look, my parents are nice too. It could have definitely been way worse. It's not their fault. They had a child in 1967. That's right. And everybody was retarded back then. That's right. And their parents went through the fucking depression. So everybody was just, it was a vile time with so many different aspects of our society with
violence and crime and it was, you know, no one knew what the fuck was going on. They had just killed Kennedy. It was like, it wasn't a time or two with trash. Yeah, trash and Vietnam was ongoing. Right. So it was a time of great confusion. And I don't think you could ever compare. It's like,
and we go back and we think about things that happen in the year twelve hundred like all the barbaric group of the conquests of cities and sacking of of of of of uh... countries by the mongeals and all this great stuff it's a different time it's a different time there's different people in a different time our parents grew up in a different time we are growing up in the most strange time because this is like coming out of
this barbaric sort of primal history in recognizing in some strange way that were more connected than ever before and the electronics are bringing us connected but also disconnecting us at the same time so this is bizarre struggle for like inter-human communication and personal communication and learning how to like in exchange ideas of people and talk to people in a civil way while you're also
you're more informed than ever before. More informed on human behavior patterns and psychology. We're seeing it play out right before our eyes where you've set a total polar shift of some of the key tenants of the left and the right where the left is all for a war. The left is for censorship. The left is for whatever pharmaceutical drugs they're trying to push. Hot down authority.
It's crazy. And fidelity to authority too. Yes. Blind fidelity. Blind fidelity to authority. And also the left has also become very good at destruction in a lot of ways. I'm not saying the right doesn't have its problems, but the left has become, like you and I were talking about this, like if you disagree with the left, they will come after everything. Everything. The right kind of goes, you're an idiot and they'll make fun of you and do a meme about you. Yeah. But the left, you know, and that's
That's what I call the make or break machine. You know, if you look at, um, and this one of the things I talk about with my, my specialists that just, you take Caitlyn Jenner who came out, Bruce Jenner has an operation for eight, eight hours, comes as this Caitlyn Jenner. Well, a minute later hours. It was an eight hour. The first one was about eight hours, right? On the face did a great job. By the way, by the way, how about this? Can I just say this? Like don't say you'd fuck her.
No, no, no, take it easy, but I'm just saying, don't say it. I'm just saying. You think of the same. How about a little something for the surgeon? He should have won artists of the year. That, Bruce down a 65 year old man looked like a 45 year old woman, came out of it, but a minute later, one woman of the year. All right, dude. Listen, we all have our taste. Okay. I'm sorry. I like 45 year old ladies. That's why I'm looking at you this way.
I like me a hot 45 year old lady. I'm saying we make up on glamour magazine. Look very good. Like a well-kept 40s lady, she does the gym, does squats, looking good. It's what I'm talking about. A real athlete. Hangin' on because she wants to hang on, you know what I'm sayin'? Everybody's 6'2, maybe 6'3. When you're 23, you don't even have to hang on. You're just there. You're perfect.
That's why I don't take any advice on health from 26-year-olds. Yeah, show you more berries. Shut the fuck up. Yeah, shut your fucking mouth. Yeah, come get get into my body for a second. You're hydrogen water. You shut your fucking mouth. I gotta warm my feet up in the morning. You're 24 years old. Exactly. You just born. You just born a matter of months ago. Correct. Shut your dirty mouth. Correct. I'm calcifying motherfucker. And none of your shit is going to help my calcification. I'm dying. I have arthritis. So do I. Yeah. So do I. I gotta warm my feet up before I get out of the car. Okay. I have a whole thing about that, but.
You know, that's the reality getting older. Well, you're gonna be beat up, especially if you work out a lot. Yeah. There's just no offense or butts about it. Yeah. Shout out to Ways2Well for keeping me glued together, though. I gotta...
He's gonna get involved. He's gonna get involved. And get some peptides and all this stuff. I was talking to Zuckerberg yesterday, and he's got his knee reconstructed. I said, did you get on any peptides? He said, no, I go, do you hate healing? He looks great by the way. He does, looks good. He's got a thick neck now. I know. He's got a thick neck. He's got a perm. Yeah. He's actually handsome. He's wearing a jewel. He wears jewelry. Very expensive watch. He looks great. I think that his watch was like, that's pricing. How much was it? I don't know. I'm not a real watchhead. He doesn't look at prices, sir.
Oh, he doesn't have to. No. No. He's free. He's like, I'll take one of those, please. Yeah. I'll just smile. Yeah. Thanks for your data. Smiles.
I'm in the data. I like him a lot. I do too. I really do. I don't know. I've hung out with him. I've talked to him quite a few times. He's a good dude. He's a good dude with a very weird job, you know, being in control of, what did he say it was? 3.1 billion people use? Goddamn. 3.2 billion fucking people use Facebook. I was telling you this the other day. I think his political transformation is interesting because now there's a cynical view. It's from Jiu Jitsu. I agree.
When you do MMA, and you're around, your testosterone goes up, you start to feel your body, you put your hands on the world, you're gonna have a different perspective, for real. It's gonna change. They have done studies, I believe, Jamie, you can look at them, where when they raise a man's testosterone, he becomes more conservative, the worse I win. Yes, but listen, man, and it's also a nice lesson to all those nerds out there that think they can never be a beast.
It's not true. It's not true. You don't have to hate people that are like physically competent and from the middle. You can be one of them. And I always bring up Mikey Musimichi just because he's awesome. And he's a brilliant guy who's like, where's his thick glasses? He's always smiling. He can fucking kill everybody in the room. Correct.
like Zuckerberg's on his way to becoming that, you know? And he was, if you go back just a few years ago, he was a nerdy guy, you know, who's like really smart, but not, not really physical. And now... It's been his whole life up here. Now he's down here. Well, he's talking about it. He was talking about it on the podcast yesterday that he loves training because it gives him a chance to express this side that has been demonized in our culture. His voice sounds different even.
And he's becoming a man. Well, fucking broke. Men are raised by women in our schools and stuff. And because of this, probably in the past 30 years, masculinity was always considered, they were taught it's a liability. Your possession, your competitiveness, all that stuff. Corporate environments.
you know, which have really like put the brakes on masculine behavior. And we talked about that yesterday too, that like, that's actually in some ways a good thing because it gives women this opportunity to excel as well. You know, they shouldn't have to like become a man in order to get, you should, they shouldn't have that, you know, sexist perspective, right, imposed upon them. And so, but it's like everything else. It's like an over correction. Yeah. You know, like you have things go completely this way. And then they come back like woke, like the woke ideology went so far right or so far left.
Now it's kind of swinging back. Well, the woke up deal is you have a major problem, which was it was reductive, right? It would reduce a complicated world to a binary world, which is ironic, by the way. But it would sort of say, I can solve all this. There are oppressors and oppressed. There's power and powerless.
Black and white. Also, there's no forgiveness. Zero forgiveness. Don't apologize. They'll really crucify you. And you can't, there's no retribution. There's no way to come back. But my 13 year old son, you can see these kids now at 13. Don't start talking to him about this shit because these kids are like, they've already been, they figured it out at 13. I'm telling you, my son was like, I don't feel, I don't like this shit. I want to do jiu-jitsu and wrestle all the time. Also podcasts. Correct.
Yeah. They get to hear actual men who've made it through the maze and aren't a bitch. Yeah. And they go, hey, wait a minute. That guy seems really nice and have it fun. And he's an actual man. Yeah. Like there's real men out there. They shit, that's fun. Yeah. Good stuff. Good stuff. Good stuff. Has a good time. Yeah. That's the point. Stop crying all the time.
Why are we fucking oversharing? Yeah, why are we promoting and propping up people who fucking cry all the time? Listen, I cry. I cry. I cry if I'm happy. I cry if I'm sad. I cry when I think about my dogs that have died. I have a whole joke about that. It's like there are a couple of things. My whole joke is this.
I can't call my friends. I had this joke, I was like, if I call my friends and I'm like, I'm sad, my friends can let me touch. You got the wrong number pussy. And it's like, Joe Rogan, that's a mean way to talk to me, you know? But it's true. I remember one time I called you, and this fucking great, I called you, and I remember my audition went bad, and it was like the third, I would get right there, I was about to, and back then, remember, if you got a TV show, your money problems were gone for a while. All I thought about was I get to drink great wine and buy a fucking house and take a minute, right?
I was thinking of a nice car. And I fucking called you. And I go like this, I go, fuck dude, I don't know. I was good. And he goes, you can't be good, you gotta be great. I go, I know, I know, I know. I just said, I don't know, I just can't, I can't figure it out. And I was bummed, right? And I was basically saying I'm sad. And you fucking go, you go, yeah. And he goes, what do you want to do tonight? I go, I don't know, I just live down here.
Hey, you'll be all right. Let's fucking go out and eat and do something. You'll figure it out. Relax. Don't get all like mopey about this shit. I was like, okay. And that was it. A lot of people get mopey, man. Yeah. I had a lot of friends that got super mopey when they didn't get things. So think about the audition process. And I've always talked about this. This is a part of the whole problem with the entire psychology of Los Angeles because a giant percentage of people at least had
somewhere in the back of your head, some sort of an aspiration to try to get famous. So you move there, you have already of exorbitant need for attention, because there's some hole in your past, that you're trying to fill up with, I want to be a star. And then you're going somewhere, so you have this need for acceptance, and then you're going somewhere where people judge you.
And most of the time judge you poorly. Most of the time they don't like you. So most things you audition for you don't get. And if you get one, oh my God, now I'm in. And so now these manipulative people that are in charge of casting you, they can essentially mold your personality based on what they want.
If they want a left-wing personality, if they want you to be pro-commilon, we need a black woman president. You want you to say, I took my eighth booster this morning. Like, I believe in science, you know? Love is love. They'll turn you into that fucking thing. They'll turn you into that thing because the entire place is about the golden ticket. Everybody wants the golden ticket.
I was so lucky because I never had any aspirations about acting. I had zero. I remember you called me. I remember you called me. But let me just tell you the whole story behind it. When MTV, when I did the half hour comedy hour and then I got a development deal, do a sitcom, I had never taken a single acting class. And all of a sudden I have this development deal. And I'm over there. And when the show that I was on got canceled,
I was ready to go back to New York and be a comic again. I was like, fuck this place. But I bought off, I had a lease. I had a lease on an apartment for a year. I'm like, fuck, right? So I was stuck in this. I couldn't afford to not be in this, because now I wasn't getting $20,000 a week anymore. Whatever the fuck I was doing. I was like, holy shit. And I was ready to leave. And so then I get another development deal. And then I auditioned for the second show I ever do.
I only had two auditions ever, hardball and news radio, and I'm on two TV shows. I'm like, this is crazy. And so I never went through that whole thing. I never went through that whole, this could change my life. My life was already changed. None of it made any sense to me. I was making all this money. I had a toyota super turbo. I was like, this is crazy.
And Mary, you bought that Accura, the new Accura. Oh, the NSX. Yeah, dude. I loved it. You used to pick me up in that shit. I was like a little jet fighter car. I loved it. But it was just like, for me, it was all gravy. So I was watching everybody scramble for this thing, and I was examining the psychology of it and how it affects everything. Because when people didn't get auditions, when they went on auditions, then you went out to dinner with them at night, they were so depressed. That would be me. Oh, you all the time. Years. You all the time. You wanted it so bad. I remember we were at the company for one night. I didn't think there was any other options.
And I remember telling you, like, why don't you just do stand-up? Why don't you just throw yourself in a stand-up? Like, you're so funny, dude. You're so good on stage. But when you get up there, sometimes you're just like, I feel like you're auditioning for a show. That's what I felt like you were doing when you were doing stand-up. You didn't want to be crazy. But then, off stage, you would say silly things. You'd be much more vulnerable and ridiculous. And that was the funny, Brian. I'm like, yes.
Throw yourself into this thing when I was doing that. I finally got my own show. I'm doing those shows. I was like, I fucking do it. I don't like this. I want to just stand up now. Now I told you, the cool thing about being 57, I'm enjoying stand up more now than I ever have. Well, you're smarter now.
Yeah, and Domirara said this to me years ago. He's like, Joe, you know, he was like in the 60s at the time. It was like, Joe, I've never been sharper than ever. You just keep doing it and you keep getting better. We're so lucky we're comedy. We're so lucky. And he was. He was better in his 60s than he was. It was always great. He's always 60s. Hilarious. I paid to see Domirara before I ever did stand up comedy.
Tom is the best I'm good. So did I. So did I. Did you? I was in college and I was at the Improv in New York and my father took me to we sat there and watched Dom Herrera. I remember that's why when I come off stage at the Laugh Factory and I was still a little in awe of Dom and Dom goes, right, I'm over here. And I was like, oh, maybe he's going to give me some pointers, you know. And I go, I go, he goes, you know what? I love about your act. I go, what? And he goes, you don't go for the laugh.
That was the best at that. The subtle disc, the comedy disc. I became friends with Dom. Well, I think I'd actually done an open mic night or two before I met him. But then I, or for us, paid to see him rather. But then not that long afterwards. So this is like,
four years later, like 92. I was working with him in Montreal. We did the... That's intimidating. Yeah, it wasn't though. He was super cool. Maybe it was a year after he was... He was a real comic man. Real comic. So maybe it was 93. So maybe it was like five years later.
So I'm like real raw in comedy, but I had my feet under me at that point in time where I had some material that could kill. Like I wasn't a really good comic, but I had a few jokes, especially sex jokes that were bangers. They were bangers. And so we did Montreal together, and then I was in Amsterdam Billiards. This is in my almost became a professional pool player stage. Like if pool was a real career like golf, I would have become a pool player.
I just loved it. I love the pool. You're a fucking crazy. But I love the pool players. I love the hang. They were just so different. They were outcasts and they were loose and fun and we said ridiculous shit to each other and everybody was laughing all the time. It was always fun.
And I saw us playing pool every night and so I had a gig and Before the gig I think or maybe after the gig. I went to Amsterdam and Diamond rare pulls up and he's got his own cue And I was like dumb you play pool. He's like yeah, you play pool. I go I fucking love pool I go let's play some pool and he was good. We were playing straight pool and
just like the type of pool they played in the movie The Hustler. It's very rarely played in America anymore, but it's an amazing game. You play with a stack of 15 balls, and you knock off one, the first break is like a safe break, and everybody moves balls around until someone makes a mistake and leaves an opening, and that guy smashes into the balls, and then you run as many balls as you can in order. So it's called 14 in one. So it doesn't matter if it's solid, it doesn't matter. You leave 14 balls on the table,
And the one ball, like you leave a break ball and then you wrap the other 14. And so you shoot the break ball in, the idea is to collide your cue ball into the stack and keep running. So let me give a shout out to Jason Shaw, because Jason Shaw, who's one of the best pool players on earth, one of the greatest of all time, he just broke the world record in straight pool this week. And I think he ran 839 balls.
jason with a wide jay he needs eight hundred and thirty nine in a row fuck yeah he's trying to get to a thousand so you got eight thirty two eight thirty two so the record before was set by willy moscone in like the sixties and it was on an eight-foot table with big pockets that was like five hundred and some balls so he beat that
He ran 714 balls. That was the previous world record he also owned. And then he just ran 832 balls. When I tell you like the concentration involved in doing that, because you're talking about hours of play. I mean, I don't know how many racks of 15 balls is 832. Someone do the math. I think when you get that good at anything, you learn everything about life.
Well, he's a wizard. And about yourself. He's a wizard. Yeah. But I'm saying when you master something like that, I'm not saying your marriage is going to be great. I'm saying when you master something like that, it's a very good way to really get to know yourself. Here's how great professional pool is right now. He doesn't even win most tournaments.
That's, yep. Is there a nationality that can dominate? No. Filipinos are among the highest level on earth. Why do you know? Well, because the GIs went there in the 1950s and they brought pool. And Filipinos learned how to play pool in very tough conditions because it's very humid over there. So humidity affects the tablecloth. And the moisture in the tablecloth slows down the roll of the balls.
And so you can take two approaches to that. You could either hit the balls hard, which is like the American way to do it, or the Filipinos learn to use the entire weight of the queue and have an elegant, almost like artistic way of playing. They have the most beautiful strokes.
Yes, they have the most beautiful strokes, especially at the time. So there is a guy who came over in the 1970s, and his name was Efren Reyes, and he came over under the nom de plur, Cesar Morales, and he was this Filipino kid.
Spanish name? Yeah well he went from Filipino to Mexican because everybody would have known him right if they had ever gone to the Philippines because in the Philippines he was already robbing everybody and like a legitimate wizard a chess genius and unbelievable widely considered if not the greatest of all time one of the you know it's like MMA like is it Khabib is it Mighty Mouse is it John Jones it's one of those deals
one of the absolute greatest pool players of all time. And then from Efron Reyes came all these other, this Filipino invasion where they were just dominating pool. Like a big money, like giant money games, half a million dollar matches.
Yeah, a ton of them. And when you, when you have a match, how many games are you playing? Depends. Some of these guys will play like a race to 120, whoever wins 120 games and they'll play it over three days and they'll do it for $100,000. Wait, a race? 120 games. 120 games of nine ball. That's a lot. That's a lot. But that's really going to find out who's the better player. So like, if you and I play 10 games and maybe I'm a little better than you, you could win those 10 games. Yeah.
You could get on a roll. You could get a lot of rolls of the balls where I get safe a few times or I scratch on the break a couple of times. And so that's two more games that you maybe wouldn't have won if we were playing even. And you could win a race to 10. The odds of me winning a race to 10 if we were both, if I was just slightly better than you, it'd be like maybe 60, 40, or 55, 45, something like that. But when you get to a race to 120, then your odds
dwindle. Well, that's a better player always. That begins a physical game. Yes. Now you're actually an athlete. Yes. Well, sort of. Sort of. It's concentration for sure. Yeah, but your body can't break down because your body can't break down. Those good. The best guys are all fit. You never got really big fat. So that can handle. They used to be what I love about the hustler. One of the greatest movies ever with Paul Newman is when Jackie, what the fuck's his name? Gleason. Jackie Gleason said
It really came down the character. He washed his hands, washed his face, and drew a blank, and came back and beat him. That was a really interesting lesson for me as a young man. Guys really do that, too. They clearly remind. They go in the bathroom, they throw cold water on their face, they wash their hands, they change their clothes.
They just need something to break themselves out of it. It's a mental game. Jeremy Jones, who's another all-time great, won the US Open. Good friend of mine. We were talking about it. He's like, I think it's the most mental game in the world, because it's not just about thinking about what happens. It's about execution and the pressure. And then it's also about you're controlling the rotation of a ball. If you hit it this hard, it goes that far.
This hard, it goes that far. And that's what you want. You want the difference between an inch and an inch and a half. It's crazy. But everything, everything at the highest level, is those micro adjustments. The reason why Magus Carlson wins all those chess tournaments. When they say when Raffen Nadal is one of the greatest tennis players ever.
When he won Wimbledon, they're all clapping. He comes in and the legend goes, I don't know if it's true, but I heard it makes sense. He's coming in. He's going like this. He goes, I think my grip, I think I want to. He's not even paying attention. He's talking to his coach. I feel like my grip should be just a little bit like that or still making micro adjustments. You just want to. You have to. Yeah.
That's what makes them so good in the first place. I know guys who change their grip all the time and their cue. Like sometimes they'll grab it like this with two fingers and then they change it and then they turn their wrist forward and they'll play for a year with their wrist forward. Oh guys do weird tricks. Well but isn't stand up like I look so I'm going to shoot this special and I'm going to throw it away and I got to start again. Yeah. And just because I've done five specials doesn't mean it's going to be easier. It's going to be a motherfucker because I've got to come up with I got to make sure I don't repeat myself. I got to make sure I'm not.
You got something to say. You got something to say? You can't get calcified? I took a whole month off of standup after I did my special because I didn't have anything to say. I'm like, I got drained doing that thing, especially doing it live, because this is so draining. And then I was like, let me think about what I want to talk about afterwards. Do you have any ideas now? Yeah, I've got like 25 minutes now. Yeah.
Yeah, it's good stuff. It's fun. I'm having a good time. Do you ever get tired of talking to, do you ever get tired of doing this podcast, even though you have very interesting people? No, I don't. Oddly enough, at all the things in my life, this is the one thing that I kind of net. Well, first of all, I choose who goes on it, right? So I'm always looking forward to talking to those people. But I love talking to people, man.
I like it. Like that's like the whole like moody loner thing. I don't get it. Like people to me are awesome. They're interesting. I like being inspired. I like being intrigued. I like trying to problem solvers on this podcast. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Well, I've definitely gotten a unexpected education. Yeah. You know, if you go back and listen to me in 2009, when I started this thing, I was a retard.
We all were. Yeah, I think what is interesting is we would I'd have these opinions and I'd state these truths and then like somebody would Google it and be like hey, hey dude No, it's like I had this whole areas. Yeah, but the fucking typical Brian come talking about cows grass fed all the shit Hey, hey man never been on a farm. Okay. Never never raised cows the farmer goes Hey, I love your podcast Brian's wrong about everything said, but it's cool
I fucking emailed the guy back, you know, I'm talking to him. And he gave me an education. He's like, I mean, what you're saying, it's just not true when it comes to how you raise cows and there was a thousand things. Of course, I had no idea. That's the biggest liability I think in a lot of ways. You know who you should talk to? You should have Will Harris on your show. Who's that?
Will Harris runs this amazing farm in Georgia where it started out as an industrial farm that his family owned and he converted it to regenerative agriculture over 20 years and it took him forever to do it. What's the name of the farm again, James?
White Oak pastors. And then there's Joel Salatin, who's a similar guy, who I think he was, they were talking about him having something to do with farming in the Trump administration. I don't know if that's come to pass, but if it does, I really do hope that he'll be involved because he's another brilliant guy who runs a regenerative farm and farming is no joke.
And what they do is essentially their type of farming is recreating nature. So they just contain nature. Instead of like having people, you know, shuttle all these cows into these stalls and put a fucking trough in front of them and like, no, these animals graze out in the field, they just control where they go.
and they eat what they normally would eat, and they make sure that they get plenty of new ground, so they move them to new ground when they've used up all the grass, they push them over there, and then the chickens do the same thing. They have a chicken coop that's a mobile chicken coop, they push it out, they open it up, they run around, and then he's dealing with like hawks killing his chickens, so he's gotta come up with ways to- That's like, this is the hawks. Yeah, this is like Mike Catharwood, you know, Mike? Great guys, you know, Mike Catharwood, he was on Love Line.
yes yes yes i know my and it is an awesome to hear the call what's his his name on the radio cycle my cat that's right so mike gets a mike comes down with his wife who's an actress and they're like i'm gonna i'm gonna i'm gonna be an austin the outskirts and i'm gonna i want to live on a farm say he's here yeah he's a kid from from l.a. he goes i get here and we got guinea fowl we got little sheep we got you know rabbits we got a
And fucking, the snakes are eating all my eggs. The guinea fell getting decimated by coyotes, foxes, whatever the fuck it was out there. I mean, everything's dying. Coyotes was getting decimated by hawks coming in. I'll take your bunnies. That's adorable. You think you can raise bunnies? So they're just getting decimated. Guess what they did? What's the one change they made?
what they do. They got two Anatolian shepherds. Oh, yeah. And bro, he said, even the fucking snakes are on those. He's like those fucking dogs were just like the coyotes. Excuse me, sir. That's what they were bred for. Oh my god. And they're not pets. Not indoor pets. No, those fucking things will just patrol your grounds and anything on four legs is going to pay a very dear price. Good. Yeah. I want four of them. Yeah, they don't fuck around. I'm gonna buy a ranch. Are you?
Yeah. Really? Yeah. Yeah. I've been talking about it for a while. You don't live on it. Just waiting for the maybe. But at the very least, we're going to put the podcast on a ranch. Really? Yeah. Because I want to have a ranch. I also want to have a big piece of land in case things go sideways where I can have a whole community on a ranch. This is where I start my call. I'm going to have just let people build on the ranch, like give them a few acres. I got some kids.
I want to come on. That's what I'm saying. Like imagine if you have like a 2,000 acre property and on that 2,000 acre property, there's like a literal community of you and your friends and you can go hunt on the land. Yeah, that'll be me. And then there's water. There's a lake there. Come in. I'll wear a tweed jacket. I'll smoke cigars. I'm not going to do any of the work, but I'll see you guys. You don't have to do any of the work. Bye. There's no need for that.
Go and take care of that hay. I think it's a crazy dream, like it's a crazy idea to do, but isn't everything a crazy idea? Like coming here is a crazy idea. Yeah. Building a mothership is a crazy idea. But what if you had like a big pond with fish? Yeah. So you can fish, you had land, you can shoot your own. Let me tell you about freshwater fish. Yeah. Can't eat a lot of them. Why? Because of poison. Oh really? Yeah, there's a lot of mercury in freshwater fish. Really? Yeah. There was a dude who,
What did he win? He won some big fishing derby. He was a big time fisherman. He started getting some weird neurological condition. And it turned out it was because he was just eating freshwater fish all the time in some lakes. So you got to think about rainfall. Like, you remember when we were younger? Acid rain, everybody's worried about it.
I don't know, it went away. But the thing about it is, like, pollutants in the air, when the rain comes down, it does bring all that shit into the water, and then it stays in that water. So if you've got a lake, and that lake gets drowned on with pollution rain, you're gonna have a certain amount of toxic elements that are gonna be in that water. Yeah, Mercury's not good for nobody. Okay, why don't you Google how much, oh, Jamie's already on it.
Eating one freshwater fish equals a month of drinking forever chemicals water. No more trout for me. That's the problem, these forever chemicals. PFAS found at high levels in freshwater fish with most concern for vulnerable communities. This is a good point about the vulnerable communities because I was filming a TV show once in Detroit.
And we were on the banks of this river that was fucking clearly polluted. And there was all these really poor people who were on the banks of that river that were fishing for food. And not just a few, like quite a bunch of people that were trying to get their dinner on that river.
And, you know, people that really, they needed that for food. They looked real poor and, you know, there was a white, black, all kinds of different nationalities, Asians. And a lot of people, and I was like, whoa, like Detroit is, at least was in 2012 when I was filming this thing, was fucking scary.
Like when you realize how a city, which was one of the richest cities in the country, thereby one of the richest cities in the world in the 1950s during the peak of the automotive industry, and then to see it just decimated. And these people were just, and I was like, oh my God, they're going to eat these fish. And then I thought, oh my God, they have to eat these fish.
Well, I was the great migration, right? So from the south, the huge number of black people went up to Detroit looking for jobs. And the problem was when they got to there, first of all, the auto industry started to get decimated because it started to move towards Japan and different countries, but also in the, in the, in, in, I can't remember. See when the great migration was was before that.
I feel like everything started fucking up in the 70s. Well, they had jobs and there was a whole thriving community. But what really would happen also is that the auto workers union, I'm sorry, but it kept black people out of it. There's a lot of racism that went on. So a lot of people couldn't find jobs.
The great migration for a large scale movement, it was approximately six million African-Americans from the rural south to urban areas in north and west between roughly 1916 and 1970, driven primarily by the desire to escape racial violence, pursue better economic opportunities, and access improved education in the north. Escaping Jim Crow laws, didn't work out. Well, it did, I mean, and maybe in a way it did, because they thrived in those areas where they probably wouldn't have.
Well, it's like the Puerto Rican exodus from Puerto Rico to New York. They went up there looking for manufacturing jobs, then the manufacturing jobs coincided with moving south. So you had this massive number of people who didn't have anywhere to go. In the early 1900s, many African Americans migrated north to work in Detroit's booming industries. Yet they rarely saw the benefits. Many white neighbors actively denied African Americans access to decent living conditions and job opportunities.
There it is. Yeah. So. There's a lot of darkness and all that stuff. There it is. The city that's left over now, you know, you've seen Roger and me, right? Yeah. Michael Morris film, which is like, I think his best one. He's like, when he was pure. Yeah. You know, he wasn't like ideologically captured and editing things for effect. Yeah. He was pure. That was a bummer I saw that he started doing that. Yeah.
It is a problem because then it makes you question everything else. Well, the biggest thing that every mainstream publication is in crisis, and I think they've earned it. They've deserved it. The New York Times still makes money, but primarily not because of their articles that people read. It's primarily because they're crosswords. They're their puzzles.
But when you take things out of context and you have journalists that are 26 years old and have an ideological bent, the rest of us are going, the news doesn't reflect the world I live in. Whatever the fuck you're saying, I don't know who this is. I've never seen this. I live in a very different world.
And it's going to be interesting to see. I think there's a liability though, where podcasts take the place of mainstream media in some ways, because then you have somebody who's very good at talking for three hours. And they can really sway a lot of people, but that's one side of their story. So now you have just that. So you have to be careful because sometimes you could just move things over here where again, the truth is somewhere in the middle, a lot of times, or it's more nuanced, or there's just more to know.
it's definitely more neurons nuanced i think uh... there's always going to be a real problem with people that don't really know what's going on say they know what's going on yes when they say they know what's going on it confuses everybody fucks everything up and it's another version of gaslighting so cnn and you know msnbc they gaslight you they gaslight you and they they actively promote propaganda and narratives that are not objectively true and
the problem on the other side is if you are in opposition of that and you say you know this and you know that but you really don't like you gotta be real clear with what you say
People have to really be able to try. Like if you don't know, you have to say, ooh, I didn't know that. You have to say that. Yes. If you do not say that, no one is going to listen to you anymore. And they shouldn't. Right. Because the difference between someone who's completely independent and a podcaster and someone who's on CNN should be that no one is telling you what to do. So what is your ethical compass? What's the evidence to? Right. What's the evidence? But also what's your ethical compass? Are you trying to win and be correct?
Or are you trying to find out what's going on? Well, it's also about ratings, right? So it's not. Yeah, but it's not because I don't think about ratings. No, you don't. I'm saying. But that's why I have them. That's right. See what I'm saying? Like it's not about ratings. Like ratings come if people believe you. Like if you sit around thinking about the ratings, do you think you would be on? No.
No. What do you mean? You be on this show right now. Actually, I was like saying things. Yeah, how'd that come across? Can we do that again? Let me do that again. You didn't even get it. You didn't even catch it. Oh, you fucker. Oh, wait a minute. Hey, you fucker. You're saying that Mark Zuckerberg and Mel Gibson get better at better ratings than me. And occasionally, occasionally they do. You fucker. I like talking to everybody. I don't genuinely don't give a fuck like,
how the show's gonna do. I don't think you can. I think if you do that, it'll distort what you do. And I think we've all seen people who fall victim to what they call audience capture. You know, they start getting a crowd like, you see with a lot of guys who are like online, they start saying like a lot of wacky right-wing things and they're like, yeah, finally someone's telling the truth. And then they become just like of a fucking... My compass for that is this. Whenever I hear somebody say,
on a podcast or whatever. When they say, you guys, all those people over there are wrong. I'm the one whistleblower. I figured out. I'm the one. Now you do have Mavericks, but I always am weary of when I hear somebody go, all that, the entire medical establishment is wrong. And I'm right. And I go.
I don't think so. I think it's a way. I just don't think you know enough. I don't think you as one person. I'm not going to just put all my bags. There is something called a scientific consensus. Sometimes that could be a bullshit consensus. We can be told, we can be told that climate science is all agree. It's not true. It's just how you get funding. So sometimes the incentive structures are there.
and the same as the medical staff correct let's just be a little bit now let's be a little bit more you can't say you know things because i've heard people who are those kind of people say they know things about me yeah like all you know that you can't use your phone on his show i've heard people say that like confidently with the ci is happy i would say that uh... he's handled by the ci a listen mike bakers my friend and i'm pretty sure still in the ci a
I like them. I like them. I have them on because like here's a guy who is a CIA operative like let me ask this guy and I really do believe he's a patriot and I really do think he's a great guy and I think there's a lot of them and I don't believe cops are bad and I don't believe any of that bullshit. I think there's bad people in every fucking business. A lot of comedians that I think are rotten cunts. I don't like them.
You know, but it doesn't mean I hate comedians. I love comedians, but there's some comedians that fucking suck. And if you encounter those comedians, and that's your only exposure to comedians, you're going to be like, oh my God, these guys are all selfish assholes and narcissists and they rob people and yeah, it's not just a few.
There's just a few of those. I also know some CIA people, like real CIA people, and you talk to them and it's like, they're always like this, they're always like, dude, I wish we were as competent as people say. I mean, if you were involved in- Talk to Evan Haver. I have breakfast with him today. Love that guy. I love that guy. Two deaths, and he's fine. He's coming tonight. He's coming to my show. Yeah. I love him. Yeah.
I just said this to him. That was his business for a while. Correct. I know a bunch of those guns. Correct. And you need... You need... You want to know how the real world works? The real world works? Talk to Evan. I have a conversation with Evan. And he stops it. Same thing with I said to him, I went to his wedding.
And I loved everybody there because they were all as close as friends. Evan was there on seven. That was the first time I met Evan. And I'm just talking to these tier one guys and they just seemed so intelligent and they were so, and they were. And John Dudley was there and a lot of great guys. But I'm talking to some pretty cool people who have done a lot with their life and they were well-rounded and everything else.
And I said, man, I just think it'd be so fun to be in that, in a tier one unit, because they're just also, they're so smart and they're just, they just have such a wide breath of knowledge. And he goes, God, you're so fucking wrong. That's Andy. Andy's the best.
Andy had one of the quickest paths to black belts. I think I've ever seen. Oh, is he a black belt now? Yep. Well, he lives with a black belt instructor. That's the thing. Okay. When your wife is a black belt, you better get your fucking P's and Q's in order. Yeah. Yeah. And I think he's probably a quick study. That dude is so fucking smart. He's another guy who's very smart, genius, but also obsessive. Like he got obsessive with bow hunting, became very proficient at bow hunting very quickly. Yeah.
And then, you know, living with a black belt, those what a huge advantage. You can just drill with your wife all the time. So see team six guys who he's got some physicality in his heart. You know, your wife's triangle. Strangling. Yeah, she's. And she could probably kick his ass in the beginning. Leah Leah is built.
like a true athlete. Oh yeah. You cannot be light in the ass. Super smart too. Yeah. Super smart. Which I think most black belts are. I think it's just, there's too many things you have to consider to get that good at jujitsu. It's infinite. Yeah, you could be a brute and just brute strength your way through a lot of it and be kind of halfway dumb and get to black belt maybe. My only regret is not that I'm not going down that rabbit hole. I train now. I wake up every morning going,
You don't train much anymore, right? No, I want to though. This is the thing. I'm trying to rehab my fucking knee. My knee is the thing that's keeping me from doing it right now. I twisted it when I was hunting this year. Yeah, pretty bad. My joke is... It happened to me the other day. I trained at this in Nuno's MMA, who I love it down and up, Hermosa.
And I love doing it, but of course I'm rolling with a 26-year-old and I'm like, let's go. And of course I'm 57 and I see his ankle. Don't give me your ankle, bro. I'm an ankle guy. Pick his ankle, drive him to the ground. Fucking poke that ankle. I'm back, I'm back, bro. I'm arrested. High school. High school dude. Had trouble looking left for 11 days. All right? Fucking worth it.
Yeah. Well, you got it when you're old, you got to roll in a different way. You got to roll like roll with John Jacques Machado. Okay, John Jacques Machado, who was, you know, my instructor since 1998, John Jacques is still rolling and still dominating black belts on the mat. Yeah. When John Jacques rolls, he never moves fast. There's no fast. His knowledge is so wide. His understanding of he's talking to Joe Hogan, Joe Hogan, I'm about to pass your guard.
Like he's talking shit to you. But it's smooth and slow. And because of that, he does not get hurt. Yeah. You know, he's had a few injuries over the year, but when it taught, when you deal with like high level black belts who roll on a consistent basis and Jean-Jacques in his fifties now, he is not hurt. He still like looks fantastic. He's like filled with energy, trains all the time. Yeah, it's another train. I'll train. You can't do that ape shit that you did when you were 23, like,
I don't get hurt when I'm rolling with somebody who's really good. Yeah, fuck that. Yeah, you can't be that guy. You gotta move slow. Slow and strong. I like to talk shit to guys who are way better. Then you gotta be flexible. That's the other thing. You gotta really work on your stretching and your flexibility. You have to maintain your mobility. I was watching Arman Sarukim, who's fighting Islam Makhashev for the lightweight title next weekend.
And he was doing this mobility and flexibility routine. You're like, this is insane. He's so jacked and so mobile, like more than I think anybody I've ever seen. Well, part of that also, I think that one of the, people don't talk about this. I think the dog is down, he's the Russians, like Marab, look at those. Oh, Jesus Christ. That's the dude who's fighting for the lightweight title. Jesus Christ. And by the way, they fought a few years back and it was, God damn son. Dude, I thought I was straight this whole time. Oh, shit.
That dude is flexing right there. That's a good looking man. I mean, that's a strong man is what I meant. Good looking and strong. God, I'm gay. Correct on both. Jesus. What a monster. Yeah, homeboys. Well, by the way, his coach is a gold medalist. I think his coach is a gold medalist, Olympic wrestler. Here's the thing about those guys.
I think one of their advantages that nobody talks about is that when you get a guy like Khabib, you get these Dagestanis, you get these Russians, these Armenians and stuff, they've been training probably since they were six. And so what happens is your tendons and everything gets really, really strong. And also, if you ever watched like Alexander Karel and the way they would warm up,
Those guys like corona could do a backflip go splits and all that those guys the way they warm up was it was scientific Yes, and and so because they knew that the micro damage that happens and so they would they would strengthen all the connective tissue first and I think a lot of times like guys like Marab guys like Nirma Umar
Since they've been training so long, their bodies are different. They feel different. They are different. They're more rugged so they don't get injured. They don't deal with injuries. They're one of the biggest things that is hard for a lot of us. They all get injured. They might get injured. I think they get injured less. They probably do. They train differently.
You're definitely right that their bodies are stronger because they've been doing it since they were younger and that they get developed in that way. The opposite is true with striking. Not the opposite, but it's also true with striking that if you start striking when you're in your 30s, you're never going to catch full day weather. You need that radar. Your body needs to be sort of like
developed to strike. Yeah, but you also have to be like, if you look at the boxers, like if you look Floyd Mayweather, his father and his uncle said to him, like they knew they were like, boxing is just about as much about not getting hit. Like you can be great and everything else. If your emphasis isn't on every time you throw, you got to be in a position where you're not going to get hit every time you step. Custom auto is that way too. Every time you throw your step.
Right. And that huge part of that is it was all a foot game. And all of that is if you haven't been trained properly, as you're learning how to box, you're going to get take a lot of damage. And you're fucked. You're fucked after a while. And if you look at those really good coaches, those old guys, Eddie Futch, who taught, who would teach the jab, your hand was here. Because instead of here, you were taking shots, you would be here. So if you watch him with Ken Norton, when he fought Ali,
He said, when you fight Ali, Ali's here when he when he jabs, he's doing this. I want your hand here. So you can see Norton catching Ali's jab and then boom answering back and catching Ali in the face. Those little details make like literally all the difference in whether you box five more years or if you're done five years earlier.
Well, the best example is Floyd, right? Because he got hit less than anybody ever. I can count him on my hand. Yeah. If you want to say like who's the best boxer of all time, I always say Floyd because he got hit less than anybody. And that's the whole thing. And by the way, it didn't have the kind of power that any of these other guys had. Didn't have that like that Roy Jones power. When he was younger, he was a power puncher, but he broke his hands a bunch of times. Yeah. That was part of the problem. Yeah. And but even then like he wasn't a robust guy, you know, so he was just different. I mean, what's his name? Travante Davis or anything?
Right, right. Well, that's a great example of a guy with just preposterous power. You know, just preposterous power. Did you see Arthur Baderbeev, who is fighting Dimitri Bivol? He did a hammer workout on a tire where he hit a tire for an hour. He did? For an hour?
What? He hit a tire for an hour with a sledgehammer. His dog's dummies are made of different fuckers. He's judging me. He's judging me. But same shit. Mountain people. Hums out to my savage people. And he's one of the scariest boxes of all time. The only fight that he had as a professional that went the distance is Beevol. I know. The only fight. And did you see when people would have seen him? He was 19, no, with 19 knockouts. That's fucking insane. When you have your hands up with him, he'll still concuss you. Yeah. He hits that heart.
Oh yeah, just basic two, like ones and twos, maybe a hook once in a while. This is a great video where this boxer who was, you know, a world-class boxer, who's a professional, got brought in to box bitter beef. And his coach said to him, just, do your best. He's like, do my best. Do my, but what the fuck are you talking about? Do my, I'm gonna fuck this dude up. And he goes, and he hit me the first time he hit me. It was like nothing I'd ever experienced in my life. Like it was almost like my body left me. And I was like, stand there.
That's your job, dude. Better be of is hitting people to like this. Yeah, it's all short. Everything is short and it's just but he'll need your arms power. But those arms. Oh, yeah, he'll break your arms down and then by so round five enjoy that shit. Canelo does a lot of that. He does a lot of that. He smashes guys arms. I think the best
box it up with him yeah you don't want that guy punching arms well I've always said that about look at look at his workouts with his wrists and fists yes this is his warm-up better be of as one of the craziest specimens because he's almost 40 years old too so he had this endurance fight with bevall so it's 12 rounds of super high pace very endurance heavy and he was the one that was dominating at the the last round correct
Correct that's February 22nd. I'm fucking pumped for that fight. You're gonna fight again. Oh, yeah rematch I'm very pumped for that fight cuz be vol is so goddamn good to what he did the canal all like no one's ever done that canal I think the best fighter. I think you can make an argument for certainly top three fighters of all time is a
Yes. I think he's incredible. Incredible. I mean, I've watched every one of his fights. That dude is on such a different level. He's smaller than everybody. He's fighting giants. He's fighting giants. When you're fighting a guy who's 60 pounds heavier with 10 ounce, 12 ounce gloves, it makes such a world of difference.
trying to ask when the guy is fucking anthony joshua you know but please understand usic fought it i think seventy five when he started out he's not a big no i got he's like two twenty five to thirty as a heavyweight twenty not big not big and that's a lot of the other way i was tyson's weight when he was in his prime to yeah there's something to be said for that because of two hundred twenty pound man like my tyson can knock out any human being that's ever lived your job the amount of power he can generate is uh... insane
So then you have the speed of being only 220 pounds instead of 290, you know? Or like, remember when Andy Ruiz fought Joshua the second time and he got real fat? Yeah. So sad. Yeah. Because like, you had a real chance of like carving out a legacy. The knockout in the first fight was fucking huge. Yeah. He has speed. Oh my God. Andy has the shit out here. His fucking boxing combinations are so fluid. He punches like a middleweight. Yeah. And he's a head bronze medalist.
I don't know. I think he is. I think he is. I think he did. Great box. Very, very. Great box. Super nice guy, too. When he came on to the podcast, after he beat Joshua, he had a fucking diamond across the watch. He came in a Rolls Royce. He's like, let's go. Let's go, Andy. Let's go. I like it. We got to get you an accountant, though. Don't spend too much human. And probably don't get to 280 pounds.
The problem is then all of a sudden you're a superstar and you're partying and you're having surveys and hanging with the boys. I think there's also, you've got to take the responsibility out of being a champion. It's hard to hold that. It's one thing, it's like starting a business. You can get people to know about your business. It's running a business. It's very different. You've got becoming a champion, staying champion. Maintaining champion. I remember Matt Hughes when BJ Penn beat him, he told me. He goes, honestly, Joe, it's a weight off my back.
And I was like, really? And I was like, it makes sense, though, because he was just smashing everybody. And he was the person that everyone was chasing. Yeah. And it's like, God, I'll fucking weigh on your psyche. That's why John Jones to me is just what is this, Jamie? He didn't win. He didn't win in the qualification tournaments for the Olympics. Oh, he didn't go to the Olympics. Okay. Okay. But he did win a bunch of other stuff. He represented Mexico in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, qualification tournaments, losing to Cuba.
Cuba man. You ever watch the best train? Oh my god. The Cubans are amazing because they don't hit mitts like you'll have a guy and they just move and move and move and once in a while the coach will lift up glove, bot one shot. You know, move and move. It's all from where it is. It's all for work. You throw one punch, you know.
They liked the Russians developed a very technical and very technique oriented way of combat sports. That's why the Russians were so good at Olympics at wrestling rather because they were so technical where the Americans would just try to work harder than everybody else.
And the Russians, like, figured out, like, no, there's a time you work hard and there's a time you recover, and you have to have active recovery. And they got real scientific about their physical training. Like Dan Gable, when he did the podcast, explained to me how he learned sauna from the Eastern Block. Really?
Yeah, he's like, they started incorporating sauna. He's like, this is another added element that raises your endurance. Why? Because they would train hard, and then after training, you sit in that sauna for 20 minutes at 190 degrees, man. Your heart is hammering, so you're getting static cardio. Also, it has an EPO-like effect, where it's like a mild dose of EPO, it raises your red blood cells. Really? Yeah, my endurance has raised significantly when I started doing sauna. What about cold plunges? That's controversial still, right?
Well, cold plunge is not controversial in terms of the way it makes you feel. So the psychological benefits of the increase in dopamine levels and norepinephrine, that is 100% established. I think that is one of the most powerful aspects of the cold plunge.
Also, what's been established is that when you do the cold plunge before exercise, it raises testosterone. So there's something about doing the cold plunge and then forcing your body to heat up through a warm up and then going through your workout that raises testosterone for people. And there was a study that was done where it showed this guy went from having an extremely low testosterone level to having a testosterone level where his doctor thought he was juicing. And all he changed was he started doing cold plunge before whatever he worked out.
put your body under stress. It's not good after workout. Really? No. Because you want hypertrophy and you want muscles to grow and strengthen. And part of that growth and strengthening is inflammation. So that inflammation is actually good. Heat, on the other hand, is good after workouts. So it's good for the effect of it raises your red blood count. So that's interesting. So Dan Gable said he would do a sauna after working out because it raised his endurance.
Yes, it raises your endurance and the Eastern Black athletes already knew that. Fador was famous for using sauna. Fador was used sauna and cold plunge, so they used hot and cold therapy. So, Huberman recommends doing that once a week and what you do is you go back and forth and back and forth. You always finish on cold though.
Always allow your body to reheat itself up. Don't finish on sauna. So you would do cold plunge sauna, cold plunge sauna, cold plunge. However many cycles you want to do it, but he said that raises your human growth hormone level. The Swedes do that. I did that fucking Sweden where I was with all these Vikings. It's fucking so funny. Well,
The Finnish studies on sauna are amazing. What it's shown, these are long-term studies over 20 years. It shows that people who took the sauna four days a week for 20 minutes at a time at 175 degrees had a 40% decrease in all-cause mortality compared to their peers.
40% decrease in all cause mortality, heart attacks, stroke, cancer, 40% decrease. Because the heat shock proteins, the stress on your body, it makes you more resilient, it makes you more vibrant. You have more energy and you have less inflammation after it's over. Your body produces those heat shock proteins. You feel amazing when you get out, you feel loose and relaxed.
You have a sauna here? I have a sauna everywhere. I don't fuck around, dude. I even have a portable sauna that I bring with me. It's like a blanket sauna that's one of our sponsors. What's that called? I'll hug you. What's that blanket sauna called? Find that sucker. I have to pee. It's really good. You got to pee? Yeah, pee right now. We'll pee right now. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. There's a scene in a book called Blood Meridian where the guy chops the dude's head off with that fucking knife. Let me see that blowing knife. Who gave me this? Someone cool.
Sure. Don't fucking ruin it for everybody. I mean, that's a knife. I don't know what you'd do with this if you were... If you had to... Nothing good. Clear brush. Yeah, I don't think that's a brush, clear and knife, son. What is this? It's a hacking knife. Yeah, who gave me that? It's when you're coming in and you want to just clear it. Clear house. No, you're a asshole. You have a giant knife on your table. That's what it's for.
What's the knife for? Just in case, bro. Oh, okay. When the president came, they had to take those axes off the wall. Really? Yeah. When Trump came in handy. I might go crazy and grab one of those and then pale them in the forehead. What does the axes look like? They actually would work, too. Oh, those are real. Yeah. Those are the Jack Carr Tomahawks. They look like you can throw them. Well, I don't think you throw them. I think you're fucking sure. Yeah.
Wow. Ow. You hurt me. I'll make that away. You make me uncomfortable, buddy. Yeah, I was gonna grab it by the blade like something aggressive about a knife. That's very aggressive. This is a very aggressive knife. Yeah, that's a ridiculous knife. It's like little, that's an overkill. Do we know who gave it to me?
That's like somebody, if somebody wears that on their belt, I'm like, your dick is tiny. That's incredible. Or you're a fucking complete psycho. Or you're living in downtown Los Angeles right now. That's right. That's right. That's what's going to be really crazy. Well, I want to see what happens because I think first of all, rents are going to go through the roof. This is going to be crazy. There is a major housing shortage. This is a major problem.
Where are they going to live? Where are all those people in the policy? It's going to go. There's thousands and thousands of houses. I think people who own, I'll tell you what's going to happen, I think. I think people that own houses that are not in fire zones, even if they're small, are going to sell their houses for millions of dollars. Because you got those very wealthy people going, I need a place, name a price. And your house might be worth $2 million, you're going to sell for four.
And that's what's gonna happen. I really that's gonna be even more fucked. It's gonna be completely fucked and remember you know Los Angeles has been the worst at the worst at building affordable housing or just housing in general all the permitting you got to go through all the red tape. Yeah, they can't do it There's there's so many issues. There's so many issues, but especially housing especially we have what is it? I think
The poverty rate in Los Angeles is like second to none. The schools are terrible. The homeless situation is, I think, the second. But hey, it's sunny. Yeah, it's sunny. People are really pretty. Yeah. Yeah. And there's a lot of TikTok stars there. There's a lot of TikTok stars, and that's good for our culture. That's good for our culture. What was the name of that sauna blanket again?
Spell it. Bond charge. It's a blanket. Yeah, it's a blanket. Yeah, you can carry it with you when you go on vacation and sauna the shit out of yourself anywhere you go. Yeah. Yeah, I'm not doing that, but I appreciate it. It's I live by sauna, man. If I had to choose between one thing that I eliminated.
Yeah, if I had to take cold plunge or sauna, I would take sauna all day. I think cold plunge is very important and it's really good for just my mental state. I just like that I force myself to get in there. I like it. I win every day. I win. Well, I said to you, when you signed that deal, I go, I say this to people about you.
You've not changed even a little bit. Well, if anything, you've calmed down. You have peace of mind, but you've not changed as like in terms of like, you know, you become a very powerful influential person, but I've never, I haven't seen you change. I haven't seen you like it hasn't gone to your head. I said, why? And you go, I think it's because I do something really difficult every day and it just reminds me of what a bitch I am.
Yeah, I read myself down every day. I think that's important. I think it's everything because I think mental health is attached to that I think too many people have Too much anxiety and too much like whoa Do that feel yeah, well the pressure and also I don't read comments, which is huge, you know, because a lot of people out there reading comments and they're one comment
I was talking to Zuck about that yesterday. I'm like, you guys stop reading comments. Yeah, Tom stop. Yeah, it's so bad for you. It's so bad for you. I've never read one fight. Especially good ones. I don't want to hear it because it's gonna have power over me. I appreciate them. I appreciate people even the bad comments. I get it. Look, you know, if I was 15, I would be the worst fucking poster on Twitter of all time. I'd be a total troll.
I'd be on 4chan, I'd be on all those things, I'd be talking mad shit all day long. You know that kid Matan? Matan? He's that kid, he's a really kid who's like 17 years old and a complete, I did his podcast, it was so fun. But he's just like, those kids at that age, they are about just, there's no reverence to anything. No. They want to tear it all down.
They want to tear it all down. Also, it's all about making them a living getting eyeballs on you. That's what their business is eyeballs. So if they can slap someone at a supermarket or fucking scare someone in line at the grocery store or whatever they do to get attention, that's their currency. Their currency is attention. And if you beat their ass, it's actually good for them.
That's right, there's no way. Which is really crazy. It's just a different time. It's the end of Rome. It's the end of Rome. It's the collapse of a really sick civilization. And the thing that you're seeing with this whole like woke fire department, which is
We're talking about that lady saying, if your husband's in that burning building, that they want someone who looks like me, who looks like them, that's not what they want. But this is all this ideological, bizarre cult that these people have fallen into that leads to the collapse of great civilizations because the people that worked hard to make this very easy life
Those people don't get respected. And then the people that you think are the marginalized people that should be elevated through equity, these people that haven't done anything. Now you're giving them all the power. And you're also letting them be the bullies of the bullies now, right? So they got picked on their whole life. Now they're we're kicking ass now.
We get things done. There's Pride magazine in the whatever website. I'll send you this because it's real. See if you could find that, Jamie, so I don't have to look for it. But the headline said, the LBGT Fire Chief is showing that she can get things done. Really? Yeah. This is in the middle of the biggest disaster in the history of Los Angeles.
but saying that she can get it done, shows she can get it done. Like, what does it get it done? What does that mean? Right out of water? Collapse society? What does it mean? I don't know if the blame lays in the fire department, by the way, here. I think you watch, I'm gonna make a prediction. I bet it's just already happening. I promise you that the progressive government in Los Angeles and in Sacramento is going to blame not infrastructure, not government incompetence, not mismanagement, but climate change.
I promise. Well, good luck with that. Good luck with it. Here it is. Amid Palisades Fire, Los Angeles 1st LBGTQ+, fire chief is proving lesbians get it done. Excuse me, lesbians get it done. Not she gets it done. It's even dumber than I thought. She's proving lesbians get it done. Her sexual proclivity is really what makes it. So what does that mean? Like Elon Musk is proving heterosexuals, build rockets? Is that what that means? It's just I think.
It's nonsense. It's nonsense people writing nonsense things. It's so fucking dumb. It's placing a group above an individual, right? So drink that person like the individual. I don't give a shit that she's into women. I don't care at all. If she's competent and she's competent, I'll fucking vote for her all day. I don't know if she is. I don't know enough about her record. You can't call it climate change because LA's been like that forever. The reason why they filmed in LA in the fucking first place is because LA doesn't have rain. That's right.
That's why they started putting Hollywood down there. Until what happened, it got too expensive to do business, got too expensive to shoot in LA. Taxes and everything else. It got too expensive. It is too expensive to open restaurants or anything else in LA. So you've got this great sandwich chain I'm obsessed with called Snarfs, right? I lied just like they're, I think they have one in Austin. Yeah, you brought them here. I love them. What do you mean you think you have? They brought them here. Yeah, I brought them here. I love this. I love the sandwiches, dude.
You know, that company is so good that I literally was, I want to get involved in the franchise business because I think it's out, it's their crushing. And they will not open in Los Angeles. It's too expensive. They're too many. A friend of mine who you and I both know has businesses in Texas and businesses in Los Angeles and a lot of them. Okay. I'll tell you who it is later. Oh, I love a suspense. So in his California businesses,
He's been sued over 1,000 times. I think it's 1,002 times. 1,002 times in the 18 years he's been in business. In Texas, he's been sued once, once. And in that case, they were right to sue them because they did something wrong. And it's pretty interesting because there's literally a difference in culture. There's a difference in the notion of, I'm responsible for my actions. Somebody else is responsible for the state I'm in.
And that is a, that is a mind virus that has taken over Los Angeles, taken over California, in my opinion. A lot of this is just mindset. And I think it's very ironic with all due respect, because I have a lot of friends who lost houses in the Palisades area and everything else. But, and I, and I,
If you had walked through the palisades, you would have seen a lot, most of them voted for Karen Bass. I'm not saying Karen Bass deserves all this blame, but I'm saying there was a lot of Kamala stuff there, very little clown stuff. And it's ironic to me because I do think, to an extent, without having done enough research, but I've done some.
that you have to lace at least some of the blame for this total inability to respond to government management and the fact that this government, this progressive government in California, in Sacramento, in Los Angeles, put things like climate change and social justice ahead of fucking basic infrastructure.
basic infrastructure you knew that they were predicting and they knew how how dry this season was fucking eight months without rain okay guys so we need to figure out there is a way to solve every problem you gotta figure if you do you need an army of firefighters they cut they cut seventeen percent i know they cut seventeen seventeen point six million dollars from the fire budget in Los Angeles seventeen percent or was seventeen point six million dollars there you go that's what i read
See if that's true. I thought it was percent, but maybe I think it's 17.6. Maybe that's what it turned out. Million, but I don't know what that means. I don't know what that means. It might be they have a hundred million dollar budget and they cut it down to seven. Either way, obviously. What's that, Jamie? Eight hundred million dollars or something. Yeah, that's the whole budget. Yeah, it's a lot.
So they only cut $17 million out of $800 million. But still, why would you cut anything out of one of the most important things? Obviously, now you know. Now you know that was a huge mistake. Now you know you should have increased the budget. Yeah. Well, to your point, this was a perfect storm, to an extent. And there's a limit to what any fire department can do. There's a limit, right? We live in Los Angeles, fires are a reality, earthquakes are a reality, mudslides are a reality. We know this. California is a tough place to live. That's great, but there are a lot of liabilities.
I just think if you know that that's the case, something went wrong and our infrastructure, the fact that our fire hydrants, and it happened in Colorado three years ago, but the fact that the fire hydrants lost pressure, you can predict these things. Right. Well, again, I bring it back to Trump because Trump was saying that this all could be solved and he was right. What he was saying is true and that they are doing it to protect a fucking smelt.
That existed? Delta smelt. That exists other places. I love the Delta smelt. I don't. What does that thing look like? Let me see what a Delta shell looks like. I don't give a fuck about those things. Do I? Yeah, 17 million last year. She directed more for 2023, 2024, fiscal year, Los Angeles allocated 837 million to Los Angeles Fire Department, accounting for roughly 65% of the $1.3 billion budget designated for homelessness initiatives.
Which didn't work. What? We did nothing. 65% for homelessness initiatives. Didn't work. Roughly half the budget for homelessness went unspent. These motherfuckers. And let me say something else about that. The homeless thing too. You talk to progressives about the homeless thing. You know what they'll say? It's a housing shortage. No, it's not. It's a drug and mental health problem. Housing, housing, housing. Yeah, sorry. Housing, housing, housing. And we can't fix it. It's a mental health drug problem. So it's been at $24 billion last year.
24 billion homeless in California. Yeah, that's what it is. It's a bunch of people making money off of corn profits. Of course. Yeah. And so there's a vested interest in keeping homeless a problem. Yeah, the real problem is that there's homeless at all. Like, how is that possible in the greatest society the world's ever known? But because we've put very little effort into stopping it.
very little effort into education and fixing people's mental health problems and mental health institutions for people that are sick and twisted and real solutions like Ibogaine. Real things that they can do to sort of reset people's minds and help them get out of it. Real programs to help people integrate back into society in a meaningful way. I know a guy who was dealing with real demons and he did one session of Ibogaine and it changed everything.
Yeah, well, there's a lot of people like that. I had the former governor of Texas, Rick Perry on, and he was explaining it. And that's surprising that Rick Perry, who's, you know, Texas conservative. Yep. Yep. It was very reluctant. And then he knew someone who came back from the war and was suffering. And, you know, he got involved and no, he played repairs the neural pathways. Yeah. Yeah. It helps people with Parkinson's disease. Wow. Yeah. Crazy. Completely rewires the brain of addicted people. Damn.
stops the pathways gives you an insight as to why you're addicted in the first place, like what little weird fucking patterns you have in your head? What are you escaping when you're trying to load up on heroin? It's crazy, but it's illegal. This is the nuttiest part of it, and this is the beautiful thing about what Rick Perry's trying to do, and explaining it very eloquently that it was all established in the 1970s.
to combat Richard Nixon's political opponents. So the anti-war movement, the civil rights movement, if they made all those drugs illegal, the sweeping act of 1970, the psychedelic drug act, where they were just trying to demonize these things that these people were using, that was like, you know, the flower child movement, the hippies, the anti-war people, they're like, we need to figure out where to lock these motherfuckers up.
Well, they did a really interesting study on, or there was a guy, a journalist I came over who was talking about. They drew this comparison when the 60s music movement happened with Hendricks and all those guys. When they were taking psychedelics, incredible things were going on musically. Oh, yeah. Once they turned to cocaine and heroin, the amazing fucking died. Hairband. Yeah. Well, I was bringing it back to cars, you know, because I'm a car freak.
The cars of the 1960s were the greatest fucking cars America has ever created in terms of the way they looked, the iconic view, the image of those things, and it all died around 70, 71. Everything after 71 is a piece of shit, except a few corvettes look cool. But because they needed to become, first of all, then there's the gas crisis.
So cars started becoming less powerful and more economical. And then they started making them out of plastic and they just looked like shit. And then they weren't doing the drugs anymore. So the design sucked. If you go back to design, one of the classics that I always put out, let's look at a 1969 boss Mustang.
So this is acid, marijuana, whatever. These people that were designing these cars were like freaks. They were weirdos, you know, because they were artists and they designed these things. Just to this day, you look at them, you go, fuck, fuck. Look at that. Look at that. That's the reason why John Wick killed everybody.
That's it is. They stole his car. They killed his puppy and they stole that car. And John Wick killed everybody. That is a fucking work of art done. Whiplash fucking engine crisis. Goddamn, that's a work of art. That's one of the most beautiful things human beings that fuck the Sistine Chapel. That's one of the most beautiful things human beings have ever created. Look at that goddamn thing. Is that a catalytic converter or carburetor? Shut your mouth about that. This is Texas. Pull all that stuff up and fucking roll coal right on the highway.
Lock a gallon. My Raptor, my Hennessy Raptor that has 1,000 horsepower. I get nine miles to the gallon. Suck my dick. Look at that thing. That is a different one. That's a classic restoration. Classic creation does a Resto Mod version of it, but that's the right from the factory version. Both of them are gorgeous. They come in electric.
They do make them an electric, honestly. Yeah, there's a company that takes old cars and turns them to electric. Well, a lot of people have a problem with it. Everati does it. I like the old Aston Martin's. Those are gorgeous. Yeah. Those are incredible. Pull up Everati. Everati's a company that takes old porches and they do old Mustangs and they convert them and make them fully electric. Wow. Yeah. But they look really cool, but
You're missing the whole course. The whole point is it's gonna feel the road. It's a work of art. It's a mechanical experience. I drove a 1985 Porsche Targa. Oh, dude. Oh my goodness. It's a stick shift. Oh, yeah. What a beautiful car. It doesn't feel everything, but goddamn it's beautiful. I mean, you're just zipping it. Well, it's so light too. It's so engaging. That's a great car. Oh my god, those are the best.
That's the only time I've ridden a car and I went, I get it. Like I've never been in the cars. I drive a Tesla 3 with white interior, white exterior. I wanted to be as gay as I could. It's still an incredible car. So they do a bunch of different stuff. So let's go to the Porsche 911 964 signature.
So look at that. So they take this 964 Porsche, which is one of the most beautiful years. Yeah. And they turned it into this insane electric beast. Damn. Yeah, incredible car, man. I mean, sub zero, zero to 60 sub four seconds. Goes in 200 miles. Beautiful looks too. I drive the new electric Porsche, which is a look at the range up to 200 miles. Shut the fuck up. That range is nonsense. That's not that sounds real. Miles is driving really slow. It's a hundred miles.
But I bet that thing is super sick to drive, and god damn it looks beautiful. But wouldn't it be better if it went, when you started it up? I think it should be.
You want to hear that. You want to hear that. Yeah, you want to feel the engagement of the clutch. You want to pull the gear lever down in a second. You want to let off the clutch and hit the gas. You want to feel it. I like what they're doing. I think it's cool, whatever. I'd rather I'd take that car and I got it. I got it and put a fucking real engine in it. It looks beautiful, but.
What can I pick one of those up for like a regular car? A regular one? There's a bunch of different companies. There's a company called... No, no, not electric. No, no, no, no, a regular one. There's a company that specializes in air-cooled porches. Go to Sloan. What's air-cooled? That's those, the old ones. The ones that you drove, the one that 1980s one, that's an air-cooled one. Not that car. The old ones are the ones that... Yeah, that's it.
So, this place specializes in porches, but particularly air cooled porches. They've got a lot of air cool. Click on like available cars. So, inventory. I like that one. See that one. That's nice too. So, a lot of these are the expensive, more modern ones like the 1963. Click on that one, 84, 911 Carrera. Look at that, 26,000 original miles. That's gorgeous.
Oh, dude, that's a joy to drive. Yeah, it's beautiful. That car's a joy to drive. 100%. How much is that? Oh, it's got to be very expensive. That's a beautiful car. With such low miles, that thing's probably meticulously maintained. It looks incredible. So, you're not picking that thing? No, no, no. That's an expensive car. 100 grand. And by the way, not very fast.
It's not fast. You're missing the point. But it's the handling. It's the feel. It's the experience of driving. It is so analog. It probably doesn't even have power steering.
Fuck, it's brand new. Oh, it's basically brand new. Whoever can get that amazing. They probably sell that for a couple hundred thousand dollars. A couple hundred. Yeah. Jesus. At least. Okay. I would imagine. I mean, it says contact us for pricing, but if you want to get one like that, a stellar model with 20. Look, if you get a 911 from 1970, like a 911 RS, a good example is a million dollars. What? Yes.
Oh, geez. Google 911 1971 911 RS Immaculate for sale. I guarantee you, they're over a million dollars. Yeah. Because they're just very cute. Your model three will blow that thing away in every way, shape or form. Of course. Handling, speed, especially if you have the model three performance. That's why I like my car so much. I like the Tesla. They just go so easy.
They make every other car seem stupid. I know. But it's a different experience than driving that thing. That thing is an amusement park ride. That thing is a... That's like grinding your own coffee, something about it. There's a manual. The sensations. There's a tactile sensation. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Lighting your own fire on the grill and cooking over hardwood coals. I think there's a huge value to that like cooking. Oh yeah. The fact that it takes...
You take time to get good at something like cooking the perfect beef stew. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, especially if you're cooking over fire. It brings you this caveman to DNA. Smell of wood. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Convenience. Convenience in abundance comes with a price like everything else. Sometimes that's a lack of connection. Sometimes just the actual process of doing shit, like the actual process of preparation, all that is a form of flow.
that you get into. There's a great book called Beyond Boredoming Anxiety by Shixon Mihat, I don't know what the fuck his name is, he's like this Hungarian science. He compares the flow state, the rock climbers, surgeons, painters, and conductors get into. And it's all very similar because it takes incredible concentration. When you're rock climbing, you don't wanna fall. I bet the rock climbers look at the painters like, bitch, you are not in the same flow state as your motherfucker. It's very, no, they're not, because it's life and death, right?
Cool site that shows the average sales, like it's a stock almost. So five have been sold for an average of $708,000. Oh my god. Isn't that crazy? My lord. That's crazy. That's 2.5 million.
2.5 million for that one. Click on that. Can you click on that? So I got to see a couple more tickets. Stand up and let me see what it looks like. There it is. Let's see if we could find it. God. By the way, it's a lot of that is like a dick measuring contest like that. I have a pristine model. This is like a Jerry Seinfeld type vehicle. He would own one of those.
I have a 1993 RS America. It's a 964. I know you've seen it. That little red Porsche that I have. Yeah. No manual, no power steering, no air conditioning, no nothing. It doesn't have a radio. It doesn't have a jacket. It's so raw. It's so raw. It's raw and rowdy. It sounds loud. You feel everything. Every time I drive it, I'm like, why don't I drive it? Do you know what I used to have that?
Bronco Bronco. Yeah 1971 with a 350 Windsor whatever the fuck it was. I don't know carburetor. I remember you came to my house and that dude I would get dizzy on the highland from the gas fucking the gas I had no top dude I thought I was gonna pass out I was like I went to the mechanic I think I'm gonna pass out I was all panicked you know it's just the way it is I go what do you mean it's the way it is you're dying slowly but you're living for fucking sold that thing for 500 bucks or so I was like get away from me I was so happy when you bought it I like when you get irrational
I want you to be more irrational. I think it's good for you. Is that what the dogs do? Yeah. Oh, is it a fighting dog? Really? Let's get it. Let's get it. Yeah, let's get it. I think that a little bit of irrationality for comedians is very good for you. 100%. I think it's pretty irrational. You got to have a little bit of fun in you. Here's a fun auction coming up in a month.
Oh, yeah. These are for sale. I'm coming from Paris. Oh, that Alfa Romeo, that little thing like there, that little Alfa Romeo, I guarantee you, that's fun as fuck to drive to. Really? Oh, it looks shitty, but I'm telling you, you feel every fucking bump on the road through your ass. Yeah. I never got into those three, five, six porsches. Yeah. I think those look like a fucking VW bug. They look stupid. Yeah. But that right to the right of it, the 92 RS, that's cool. That's what I have. Yeah.
I have one of those with a duck tail. I have a red one with a duck tail. I love it. I love it. Well, you know what it is? They have a personality. There's something about getting into my, I had a girlfriend who had a vintage Mercedes and I swear to God, I got attached to that car. It felt like an experience. I would get in there and I had a personality almost. It was like a hundred percent. You know what I mean? A hundred percent. Because somebody had made that. Somebody had taken the time. A lot of that shit's made by hand, I think.
Well, they're definitely put together by hand. Yeah, I mean, especially back then. But considered by craftsmen. 100%.

I still have. You know why? I like to see what's going on over there. I don't want to be at the same height as the cars when someone slams on the brake. You can't see what's going on.
Well, up here, you can see someone doing something stupid, like five cars ahead. You're like, oh, Jesus. And it's safer. Way safer. To be in a lifted truck is safer. You see things more. 100%.

It shouldn't be, but it is. And that's why it's America.
Motherfucker and is that thing is that drag to rotate is that fin that was on there necessary Yes, yes, because you want to leave an asshole. That looks great. Yeah, you can get it without Yeah, that looks good the it's down for us.

It's a gorgeous car. That is a fucking beautiful machine. Does the fin come up or something or? Well, no, it's just down, it's adjustable, but it's down force for the track. Yeah, I like that. That is an amazing car for the track. That's a good looking car.

It's in the middle of the country you could travel anywhere. I was like
Wow, can I live in Texas? I started thinking about it. Like, can I live in Texas? And then when COVID hit, Ron being here was one of the things that moved me here. Really? Yeah, it's like, I love Ron. At least I can hang out with Ron. Like, if Ron's here? He wants to talk about that thing. Like, if Ron's here? Like, one of the greatest comics, period.

I can't live in touch because I'd always been trying to escape LA forever. But then it's like my business was there. The comedians were there and the store was there. And there was like so many things there. It took something like COVID to make us all like just take this crazy chance and move to Texas. Yeah.
