Joe Rogan and Duncan Trussell tackle psychedelics’ potential—citing Johns Hopkins studies on mushrooms and MDMA’s PTSD benefits—while debunking chemtrail conspiracies as cloud seeding or pilot error. They critique drug prohibition, comparing it to legalized harms like cigarettes, and joke about dating deception, masks in relationships, and Nash’s sanity. Trussell’s 666 "satanic puppet" posters and Rogan’s unfiltered honesty celebrate the show’s raw, 200-episode legacy, blending science, satire, and human nature’s contradictions.

We're just going to get in a boat and go to someplace.
I mean, we're not even looking at it really truly in perspectives because here's something that was really rare back then.
Any one-on-one accounts of someone who went there that liked it.
Forget about pictures.
They didn't have pictures back then.
Would you see some drawings?
No, you didn't even talk to one guy, probably, that went over there himself and had a wonderful and prosperous life and was telling you, listen, there's land to be had.
It's a great time.
Come on over.
What a great mass of movement of humans in such a short period of time.
The population of the North American continent.
And the fact that there was already a small group of nomadic people that were living here and they were just completely overwhelmed by the volume and the numbers.
Well, when you say a lot, was there like millions?
Well, let me say even if there was a lot, it's nothing in comparison to what it is like right now.
There's never been population numbers like this anywhere, right?
Has there ever been a place where there was virtually no one and then immigrants all came in and then within a few hundred years there was 300 million of them?
I wonder how many Native Americans there were before they were killed and pushed back.
That must have been unbelievable for them.
The people that had lived their lives a certain way before the first white men came.
It must have been...
Must have been preposterous.
Probably generation after generation, they had followed the buffalo, and they had lived this very disciplined and spiritual, sort of in tune with nature and their environment, and they had very clear laws of morality and how you deal with nature and how you use up your resources.
Really fascinating.
You could tell that they had a deep reverence and a real understanding for the resources of the environment and not taking too much, not wasting anything.
Because you might not have it, man.
They were under a real concern about starving to death.
If they didn't get up in the morning and follow the buffalo, they lost those motherfuckers.
If they have no food for a few weeks, your baby can die, man.
You might just fuck up and time the season's wrong and run into some place where you're stuck chasing these buffalo in a place that gets snowed in and there's no food.
I mean, the American Indians, on one hand, you can say there was a lot of satisfaction in that life, and they probably were happier than the majority of people today.
I think that's really arguable.
But that's just the majority of people there are weak-ass bitches.
It's not that today isn't way more awesome.
And people get confused in that sometimes.
People go, you know what?
People were happier back when they couldn't read.
Did you know that?
People were happier.
People are happy back when they just had grunts and everybody knew what they had to do.
That doesn't mean back then it doesn't suck and today isn't awesome.
It just means that today is so uber complex that a lot of people just don't even try.
They just go, I can't do it!
And they just throw it down on the ground and they run away.
But my point is, even with the shittier new car, you know, the less cool car, the older car, in the shitty apartment, you're still living a billion times better than anybody did when they were, you know, Lewis and Clark were...
Hitchhiking their way across the fucking country walking.
And to get rid of the fleas in a castle, they would put the clothes over the shaft where the sewer is because the ammonia would rise up through the clothes and kill the fleas in the clothes.
Yeah, when you like take a warm shower and then you climb into some like really soft cotton clothes, you're feeling better than most humans have ever felt in their whole life.
That's like a deeper sense of pleasure.
You plop down in your soft and comfortable bed and for, you know, for a real reason, you're not scared of getting eaten by anything.
You know, you sitting in front of a television with Avatar playing, say.
And you're sitting propped up on your pillows.
And you're wearing clean clothes.
You have it better than anyone who's ever lived ever by a long shot.
Could you imagine Lewis and Clark...
If you could show those motherfuckers, the average 23-year-old dude who lives in some shitty apartment, who's propped up on his bed, watching TV in his bedroom while his roommate's fucking loud in the other room with a blender.
I think Patton Oswalt's got some brilliant joke about this where he talks about how religion was invented to trick dumb people that there's a cake in the sky so that they stop, like, attacking everyone essentially.
It's just really smart people recognize that there's really dumb people that have no qualms in killing and doing ridiculous things and so they tell them this fib to make them behave.
It could be possible, but I've always thought that what, I mean, I always joke around about it being for dumb people, but I think there's a pull towards the idea of something other than us.
And I think we always have had that.
I don't think we're willing to believe that we're the end of the evolutionary food chain or the spiritual food chain.
It seems silly.
It seems much more likely like there's something above us we just can't even communicate with it.
The same way ants can't tell you stories, we're not able to communicate with something that's the next level of existence.
Well, yeah, especially when we're so confused by our environment and we're sad and distracted.
I mean, the thing that you were talking about initially is something, I read this, the Dalai Lama was in Beverly Hills talking to some rich people in their house doing a home visit, and he said to them, you know, here we are, you're in Beverly Hills, you have your mansion and all your things, but why are your medicine cabinets Filled with antidepressants and Valium and anti-anxiety medication.
Even with all this stuff, you're still experiencing mental turbulence to the point where you're depressed.
This is the, if people are still caught up in that place, it's going to be very difficult for them to To transcend it to a point where you could communicate with some higher intelligence.
How are you going to do that when you're caught up in some ridiculous perception of the world where you're addicted and attached to material things, where you're stuck always wanting some new thing, which just makes you perpetually insane, you know?
The reason why it's so satisfying hunting and fishing is because those tasks are a prerequisite for staying alive for the longest time.
For the longest time, the way we stayed alive is we had to go out and gather our food.
It feels good to pick food.
Like if you find some blueberries somewhere and you pick them, there's like this weird joy that comes with finding a meal outside.
That is a natural reward system that's put in place to ensure our survival.
Now, when there are no hunting and gathering tasks to get, when it's so easy to just walk to the store and get meat, the choicest meat, and it takes literally seconds.
Can I have that big food?
Perfectly aged hunk of flesh that has no diseases on it, ready to cook right away.
And, you know, can I have this milk that's been homogenized and pasteurized and has no chance of killing me?
And it can sit on the shelf for weeks.
And can I have this cheese that's also the same?
It's very resistant to mold.
And, oh, look at this.
Fresh vegetables that are genetically modified and you can grow tomatoes in the middle of the fucking winter outside.
You know, all of it is incredible.
But it's so easy and so accessible that there's no reward.
You're not getting that reward.
So people are just...
They're being gluttonous.
Unlike the Native Americans who...
The flesh was so important to them.
The kill was so important to them.
everything was so sacred they would use every single part of the animal to honor that animal and they wanted to keep this relationship with the buffaloes and with the deer and all the animals that they needed to sustain them for us that system is hijacked it's hijacked by sports cars it's hijacked by getting ahead you know getting a house in the Hamptons yeah it's hijacked by having a boat sure it's hijacked by all the things that you can reward yourself for For women, maybe it's jewelry or shoes.
Or when it's shoes, a lot of women, they become obsessed with fucking handbags and shit.
I was reading about this woman who was some super billionaire's daughter.
And he's, you know, I guess he's like super ridiculously wealthy.
She has a million dollar bathtub that's made out of crystal.
Like she has a bathtub that is a million dollars and they imported it from Mexico.
It's her bathtub!
A million dollars!
That's like an awesome house!
A million dollars!
She has this incredible supply of handbags, just millions of dollars worth of handbags.
Millions of dollars worth of shoes.
Literally millions of dollars worth of shoes.
You know, there's people that start, they get crazy and start buying high-end handmade watches that are a million dollars.
And they look like a fucking Timex!
I mean, I'm exaggerating.
But they don't look...
This watch is...
It's called a TW Steel.
It's a nice watch.
It's like $150 on Amazon.com or something like that.
For me, it's perfect.
It's cool looking.
I like it.
It's not flashy.
It's not like I'm trying to stick it in your face.
But I like the way a good machine looks.
Something that's designed well.
And that's what that looks like.
But some people will get crazy and they'll take it to, I want the finest watch constructed in the most difficult manner, like in a bottle.
I want them to make the watch in a bottle with tweezers.
And I want it to be all magnetized and all of it's titanium and hand carved and get the fuck out of here.
One thing that you're leaving out of the difference between primitive and modern people's living situation, you also have to take into account their mental state.
The Native Americans, they believed in the great spirit.
They didn't know too much about the universe in the way that we know it.
They had this faith in a kind of ancient religion that gave them a lot of comfort.
The modern guy who's buying all the ham and the meat and the fucking ship watches and bottles and the crazy woman buying the purses, it gets even more absurd because their belief in the universe is either a fundamentalist Christian or a religious belief that's always haunted by science.
The whole world is telling them, you know what?
A lot of that stuff isn't true.
A lot of that stuff didn't really happen.
The people, the way they're describing that, nobody flew up into the air.
No guy flew up into the air.
Came back to life after he got nailed to a cross.
That's never happened.
Doesn't happen.
So their fucking main, the tenets of their religion, are always getting attacked on all sides by science.
And if you're not religious, If you're an atheist, then it gets even more weird.
You're just some super smart primate that's stuck on a ball.
You're just some tiny thinking little primate bug thing that the force of gravity is keeping stuck to the ground On a planet spinning around, like your joke, spinning around a ball of fucking fire.
So it's like, if you don't really believe in God, then you're in this super absurd situation, which is it's like, now I have infinite amount of food and whatever I want, but I'm just some absurd little speck of something.
You don't have to believe.
I mean, not all atheists think that, by the way, but it is an absurd place to get to.
I maintain that the reality of living on a planet, in orbit, around a star, in a galaxy, in a universe, is so preposterous and bizarre and strange that it doesn't matter if you call it, you know, big thunder god in the sky.
It doesn't matter if you're, you know, you have some mythology attached to it.
The reality is your perceptions, your own perceptions of it are so abstract.
Yep.
There's not something...
You'd have to fucking bend space.
You'd have to go to a planet or at least orbit the moon or something.
Just really wrap your fucking head around the fact that there's some other shit out there.
It just seems like you're telling me it, but it's abstract.
I think to us, I'm just saying, I think to us, the reality of our situation is so preposterous that it's almost like religion had to be put in place to describe it.
It really makes you wonder how quickly people became conscious because all this stuff was shit we had to deal with really early on.
You know, like, where are we?
What's going on?
Where is this from?
And then, you know, well, the thunder god came from the sky.
And, like, we had to, like, really early on had to come up with some fucking answers for how this came about.
It's more like someone recognizing that is whatever these absurd beings are on this planet, we all kind of share the same similar problems.
We're all sharing the same similar problems.
And then an analysis of those problems created like the system of Buddhism, which is a way Overcome the thing that's trying to make you buy a shitload of purses and cars, and the thing that's making you miserable while you're laying in your fucking nice bed in your apartment.
It's acknowledging that if you're fucking hunting bears as a Native American, or if you're lying in your fucking bed as a modern pepperoni stuffed rich man, you both have the same problem, which is you're going to die, you're going to get old, You're going to get disease.
You're going to get old age, disease, and death.
This is an inevitability that we all share and that all humans have shared since the beginning of time.
You can't escape it.
So the cool thing about Buddhism is it's not like, if you pray to the mighty Loon Loon, you'll get a blessing.
It's like, all right.
Let's sober up.
Can we calm down?
Can we overcome all the fucking distractions that are surrounding us?
Can we focus our will to a point where we're no longer being buffeted by circumstances like all of our ancestors have?
It's a girl that wanted me to do some stuff for her and so I did it for her just thinking like I thought she was just cute but then right when it was done she's just like okay and she comes into the next room and just takes off her clothes and I'm like oh fuck yeah and I fuck her and then Then she left, and then later she wanted to do some more stuff, and so I did it, and she goes, look, I'm on my period right now.
After I was done with it, she goes, I'm on my period right now, but can I get you next time?
Yeah, I know someone who absolutely, unquestionably was tricked.
The girl he was dating was older and they like right away started dating and she said that she was on the pill and she got off the pill immediately.
She immediately knew that she was only, I think she was like 35 or 36. This is a horror story.
Well that's where it gets with women, I mean not all women, obviously most women aren't deceptive, but where it gets with some women is like listen I don't give a fuck what he wants.
I only get one more shot at this.
I'm not going to be in some sort of relationship with some guy, by the way, who has plenty of money so he can take care of this thing.
Even if the kid doesn't work out, this is what I want.
I want a child.
This guy's got money, he's got genetics, and they'll just take the loads.
They'll just take the loads.
And you have to pretend that you have to somehow or another, you know, you have to, if you're having sex with her and you're not wearing a condom, you know, you have to realize that that's a possibility.
That someone could do that.
And it's totally legal, by the way.
She could do that.
Isn't that crazy?
Yeah.
Even if she was deceptive, I don't think she could lose in court.
I think she could probably say it's her business.
I think whether or not you took the pill.
Has anybody ever sued someone based on whether or not they took the pill?
I don't think so.
They say it's 99% effective.
I bet it's 100% effective.
Just one people are such wretched, lying cunts.
It's unprovable in court.
It's very possible the pill is just straight-up effective.
Now like some boxers they won't ejaculate like before a fight but they won't have sex before a fight because they want to Well, they've actually proven, physiologically proven, that if you don't have any release within seven days, your testosterone goes up significantly.
Right.
Significantly, like measurably.
I don't remember the actual number, but it was enough so that it would warrant doing that if you were a fighter.
But for some fighters...
The difficult thing is relaxing.
The difficult thing is getting in there and being able to fight up to your potential.
It's not the amount of testosterone that you're producing.
By the way, what I was saying is, in that case, I would say that you should have sex.
Because then you're not going to at least think about the sex.
Because if you're not having sex, you're built up with all this testosterone, and you're just thinking about pussy, and you're so confused, you might not even be able to be comfortable in there.
You might not be able to, like, get loose in there.
You know, whereas if you get it out of your system, you get the sex, you still feel great.
I mean, how much of an effect does it have on you?
Does it have an effect on you where you go to the gym and you're weak?
No.
I've had sex and gone to the gym and I feel great.
It's not that much of a problem.
I think for a lot of guys, you'd be better off just having the sex to calm down, get it out of your system.
I maybe can go like four days without jerking off.
I'm not having sex at the most.
So I have no idea.
It's a mystery to me.
Taoism and the whole tantric thing.
I just don't know if it's something I wonder about because it's two systems that both You know, have like really developed systems around this idea of like extending your orgasm.
Like somehow they can like supposedly make their orgasms last much, much, much longer.
Think how hard it would have been to have an erection when you're looking down at your wife's flea-covered pussy that hasn't had a shower in four months.
I mean, I've given Duncan a couple stink watches before where you don't wash your finger and then when you shake hands, you just kind of rub it on the inside of their hand right here and it makes it smell like poop.
That if you were tired and you didn't feel like getting up to go wash your hands and your asshole itched, you would itch your asshole for sure and then go right back to your keyboard.
The point is you cannot bring something like that up and be that preposterous and then be sensitive about people talking about you itching your asshole and having shit all over your ass.
We weren't there while you were itching your asshole and touching things.
It's called goofing on you.
You can't goof on yourself in front of us like that and then expect us not to also do the same thing.
If there's anything that we goof on about ourselves during the podcast, feel free to goof on it about us when we're not here.
If you're doing it yourself, you can't be upset that other people are doing it.
You're talking about digging in your asshole, getting shit all over your hands.
You cannot be upset at other people laughing about that.
If you want to...
Look, I've talked about the podcast about shitting my pants.
I shit my pants driving home from Fear Factor once.
Shit my fucking pants.
Plop.
Filled them up.
Just held it in as long as I can.
I was like...
I couldn't.
I couldn't hold it in anymore.
I was stuck in traffic.
It was a horrible diarrhea moment.
Feel free to make fun of that, because it actually did happen.
I actually did have to clean my car.
I actually did have to clean my pants.
The shit didn't get in my car, but my pants were soaking wet with shit, so that kind of leaked through some of the fabric and got all over my seats, so I had to get in there with Windex, and I used an old toothbrush and shit.
It's disgusting.
That's real.
So you can make fun of that.
And when you start talking about digging in your ass and getting shit all over your hands, guess what, fella?
He was making fun of Madonna because Madonna, well Madonna, like, you know, people on my message board were totally ragging on her for her attempt at being relevant.
You know, she gets on stage like, who here has seen Molly?
Molly is a nickname for MDMA. Which is her new album, isn't it?
Yeah, I mean, that's part of her thing is connecting herself to this very, very popular rave drug.
So Deadmau5 gets mad about it and he gets pissed at her and saying, you know, You know, you're connecting drugs to the electronic dance movement, and you shouldn't do that.
His idea is you don't need drugs to enjoy the music that he's making, or any of those artists are making, which is true.
You do not need drugs to do that.
I mean, I've listened to his stuff, and I enjoyed it, and I wasn't on drugs.
If you took MDMA, he doesn't have any experience in it.
So that's why it's ridiculous.
So for him to say that, it's like, man, you're talking shit about an experience that for some people is maybe the most energetic and positive experience they've ever had in their life is being high on ecstasy at a rave, listening to dance music.
That is something I remember that was like back in the day when I used to go to the raves.
That was like one section of people who would go to the raves.
And a very small one were a group of connoisseurs of the music who didn't think that you should pollute your mind with the drugs and just purely enjoy the music.
It gave me a very deep insight into behavior patterns and insecurity.
And I said on my message board, I was like, I think he could use some MDMA. I really think he could.
Not that he's a bad guy, but I think that there's a lot of people, they have a certain amount of unnecessary anger inside of them, a certain amount of unnecessary judgment.
And MDMA will knock that shit right out of you.
It's such a loving feeling.
And that's one of the reasons why they're using it for post-traumatic stress disorder, for vets coming back from Iraq and Afghanistan.
And that's a positive thing, man.
That's a good thing.
Are people abusing it and dancing?
Of course they are.
But that goes back to what I said in that movie, The Union.
It's really sad when you consider that these drugs, these synthetic drugs that people are, that are killing so many people are semi-legal and alcohol is killing everybody and it's totally legal.
Whereas these, like an empath, an empathogen like MDMA that when you take it, you can, if you have some discipline, you can go dancing.
It's fun to go dancing on it.
But if you have some discipline, you can shift your life into the positive forever.
Well, if you're honest about your experience, if you're a person who's truly looking to improve who you are as a person, I think MDMA can be very impactful.
I didn't like the way it made me feel.
I wouldn't recommend anybody doing it.
I would say, man, you have to weigh your own pros and cons.
Even though it impacted me in a very positive way, I remember feeling absolutely terrible the next day.
I don't think it's good for your body.
I don't want to do it again.
But I learned a lot from doing it.
And the fact that OxyContin, which are literally synthetic heroin, Literally.
That is what it is.
There's no doubt it is a synthetic opiate.
It is incredibly, incredibly addictive.
People who have done heroin say it's easier to kick heroin than it is to kick pills.
And also remember like the impulse for many people who are taking psychedelics is not to try to wipe out the universe, but it's to try to go deeper into the universe.
And so that means that a lot of people in the jails right now and a lot of people in the dungeons, they had the same instincts It's like a lot of the great philosophers.
They just wanted to expand their mind and understand a little bit about the universe and they're in prison now.
They're imprisoned.
And so from the prohibition, you're not just getting an inability to go enjoy a great fucking night at some underground party or the inability to like have a great camping trip with your pals.
It's literally, I think, stifling evolution because God knows what amazing thoughts people could be coming up with If there was regulated psychedelics and we got to explore them to understand how to really use them and how to really fucking harness them to make us smarter, you know?
This is something that's the birthright of humanity.
All indigenous tribes have some form of psychedelic that they take.
This is like...
The ancient people of the earth knew about this peyote, ayahuasca, yet somehow in the modern age they're keeping us from this experience that maybe is the thing that connected the Native Americans to the earth that you were talking about in the beginning.
Maybe it is the thing that made people not so fucking fixated on material possessions, you know?
But we have a prohibition happening now.
It's the dark ages.
It's like imagine if there was a book.
Just some book, and inside of it was amazing information that will teach you how to overcome your ego, that will connect you with your brothers and sisters around you.
There's this amazing book, and it's surrounded by a fence that the governments erect, and they're like, sorry, can't read that fucking book.
Can't read it.
It's illegal.
You read that book, you're going to the dungeon.
If we catch you distributing this book, copies of this book, we put you in the dungeon.
Doesn't make any sense, man.
Why aren't they letting us read that fucking book?
I don't know anyone who died on mushrooms.
I don't know anyone where anything bad happened to them on mushrooms.
Dude, if I had a time machine, Rogan, and I could go back in time, one of my stops on the way back to the crucifixion would be to fucking pick up a cocaine-laden bottle of Coca-Cola.
Haven't you always wondered what that was like to drink a cocaine-ed coke?
Coca and Coca-Cola, the Coke formula, is one of the most closely guarded corporate secrets in America.
The company concedes that using a decocainized flavor essence in the coca leaves is one of the few Coke ingredients the company will publicly acknowledge.
So they are using an actual extract of the coca leaf that has no cocaine in it.
All you need to know about whether or not they would make money off of things like that is who's making money off cigarettes?
Cigarettes are fucking for sure killing almost a half a million people a year in this country alone.
Our ideas about intoxication are so bizarre and baffling that somehow or another we think that they are protecting us from something that perturbs our state of consciousness and makes us think about things in a completely different way and possibly even hallucinate.
But some weird surge that you get because of an almost immediate addiction that you've acquired to some stupid fucking burning plant that's soaked in chemicals.
Newt Gingrich got desperate and promised a base on the moon by the time he had a second term.
He threw a Hail Mary.
It's like base on the moon.
No one ever says we need to make cigarettes illegal and save our friends who are dying a horrible death addicted to a terrible chemical that's a sick company is profiting off and we need to re-change the way we look to change the way we look at this terrible, terrible scourge on America.
No one, not a single politician would ever make that speech.
And if they did, they'd wind up dead in a fucking hotel room somewhere.
But meanwhile, if anyone running for president said, I think that psilocybin makes you connect with the universe and it makes you love the people around you more and it gives you more of an experience of a full life and reminds you of how small you are and their relation to everything else and you can't really OD on it, so I don't think it should be illegal.
If somebody said that, If a president said that right now, like Santorum said that or somebody said that, they would never get elected.
If you've got an eloquent guy, well, there's evidence.
John Hopkins, the recent John Hopkins University study that showed that over a 20-year period of time, all these people that took mushrooms just once had a direct change in their personality, an improvement of their personality.
Of course it shouldn't be illegal, but I think that if someone was eloquent and someone made sense in all other areas, if someone was a bright person, and they can prove it, and prove it in an articulate and eloquent manner where it was compelling, where what they were telling you was that here's what's going on, okay?
I know you're all associating drugs with being a negative thing, and the reason for that, it's intelligent to do so.
Most drugs, and many, many drugs, can be very negative on your life.
However, We've been sold a bill of goods on certain drugs, and certain drugs are actually good for you.
Not only are they good for you, they may be the whole reason we evolved from fucking monkeys in the first place, but we've been lied to.
And the companies that keep us in order right now would like to keep everything the way it is.
The reason being is they're profiting off things being illegal.
There's a lot of Profit on drugs being illegal that are illegal currently.
It's not as simple as they would just sell them too and then they would make the money.
Why wouldn't they make it legal?
There's money to be made that will not be available once psychedelic drugs are legal.
There's a lot of things that are for sale, especially pharmaceutical drugs.
A huge amount that just making marijuana legal would just squash the market for a good percentage of Pain relief and, you know, glaucoma medication reduces interocular pressure.
People who have AIDS who can't eat.
People on chemotherapy that have a hard time eating.
All of that.
There's so many drugs that are prescribed for various ailments that literally would be out of business.
We have access to certain mind states where you can bring back authentic information that can help your life and the life of the people around you and there's a possibility that if enough people were having these mind states there might be an acceleration in technology and acceleration in science and acceleration in philosophy but because we can't get these mind states We can't get these mind states,
things are slow and weird and dumb right now, and the reason we can't get it is so that people can make more money.
First off, there's a lot of people that think that a lot of hippies are fucking mooches, they mooch off the government, they get welfare, they get public aid, they don't want to pull their share, they don't want to pull their own weight.
A lot of people think that these experiences that you say that will benefit people, they say, well, where's this evidence?
Where's the evidence of anybody finding out anything worthwhile on psychedelics?
Okay, that's a rumor after he died that was released is that he was a deathbed confession that he took LSD. No, he was good friends with Brave New World, Addis Huxley.
I mean, in a court of law, I can't prove it, but being friends with Aldous Huxley, a man who on his deathbed had himself injected with like 750 micrograms of LSD, being friends with that guy, that's like being friends with you and never having gotten stoned.
During a symposium held for Albert Hoffman, Hoffman revealed that he was told by Nobel Prize winning chemist, Kerry Mullis, that LSD had helped him develop the polymers, I hope I'm saying this right, P-O-L-Y-M-E-R-A-S-E, polymers, polymers?
Anyway, chain reaction that helps amplify specific DNA sequences.
What does that mean?
I don't know.
I'm too stupid for that.
But the guy said...
Carey Moss even admitted, what if I had not taken LSD ever?
Would I still have invented PCR? That was the method.
You know, I think for sure psychedelics can help people, but what I think it is, is I think essentially...
We have access to supercomputers and there's no instruction manuals laying around and there's no teachers to teach you how to use these things.
So a lot of people are getting great results and they're all scattered and all over the board and they're mixed in with psychosis and bad trips and a lot of fucking freaky things that have happened to people and they've taken the wrong shit and they got a hold of a fake computer.
You know, there's a lot of people that are...
And that is because there's a lack of regulation, because there's a lack of understanding, because there's a lack of appreciation for the true effects.
As human beings, it is...
Absolutely preposterous that so many people will tell you, like this Cary Mullis guy, or whether Francis Crick was telling you the truth, or whether you're telling me the truth, or I'm telling you the truth, or any of us that have had really positive experiences.
There's way too many people that are saying that folks can benefit from it for it to stay illegal.
The people that are stopping it, they don't make any more sense than us.
It's not like they're the really...
Wise and cautious and noble and loving overlords that want to protect you from your own folly.
That is not what's going on because they're talking in ignorant statements.
Medically it's ignorance.
There's no evidence to back up what they're saying.
There's no reason that it makes sense.
And then when you start throwing numbers at their face like the amount of nonviolent drug offenders that are in jail and how preposterous it is that our society exists where a bunch of people are doing what they want to do that doesn't hurt anybody else and someone decides to lock them in a cage for it.
Well, that person is...
Who's doing more harm?
The guy who's smoking pot or the person who locks him in the fucking cage and destroys their life and does it because it's written on paper somewhere that that's okay.
Well, that guy is the destructive force.
The law becomes the destructive force in society, not the drug.
When you say drugs kill people and drugs, drugs are responsible for a million people in jail right now.
Don't put people in cages because they don't agree with you.
Because they like something.
They like it so much they're willing to risk freedom because they found themselves in some sort of a situation when they're in an environment that they have no control over whatsoever.
They were born into this.
They didn't ask to be.
Dropped into this preposterous, illogical, nonsensical, ridiculously lopsided and corrupt society.
And you just accept them to comply.
You just expect them to comply with these stupid fucking things that are written down on paper that everybody knows makes no sense.
And anybody that hasn't done drugs, if you haven't done mushrooms, fucking for sure you shouldn't be a cop.
No way, man.
You're gonna be in position of power with a gun and making decisions and you've never done any mushrooms at all.
You've never had any look at yourself through the eyes of alien intelligence.
You've never had some objective outside the body experience analyzing all the shitty aspects of your own life.
How the fuck are you How are you growing?
How are you developing?
Are you crawling along and one little stumble after another and one little apology after another and one little break up and make up cycle after another after another where you scream insults at each other and then say, I'm sorry baby, it'll never happen again, I've learned my lesson.
Is that what you're learning about yourself from your shitty lonely nights eating TV dinners?
Hoping that your chick's gonna return your pager, or your text message rather, so you can pager.
Because you realize that being a cunt makes people not like you anymore.
So that's how you grow it.
Instead of seeing it in one big burst, all leaders, all cops, all teachers, All of them should have a psychedelic experience, or they don't know what the fuck they're talking about.
As a grown adult, if you haven't had a psychedelic experience, I look at you like you're some sort of an infant.
And not so much with civil liberties, like, or rather, with medical marijuana and things along those lines.
But that's because it's democratic.
When the ball goes in the opposite court, think about how much power has been given to the government under this democratic regime.
If we got another Bush, Cheney in office and they started cracking down like John Ashcroft did on the medical marijuana places and using Blackwater to come in mercenaries with fucking machine guns on their hips and taking all the pot and money away.
If that shit starts happening again...
Think about how much power Obama has given the government.
It's ridiculous.
It's really disgusting and preposterous.
I mean, if you look at the Huffington Post, there's an article by this guy named Jim Garrison And it's martial law by executive order, not to be confused with Jim Garrison, that thought that Lee Harvey Oswald didn't kill Kennedy.
Remember that guy, the prosecutor?
Anyway, this Obama, you know, he passed the National Defense Organization, the NDAA. There's a new executive order called the National Defense Resources Preparedness Executive Order.
And it does to the country as a whole what the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act did to the Constitution in particular.
Completely eviscerates any due process or judicial oversight for any action by the government deemed in the interest of national security.
So they can just say something.
It's national security.
Essentially we're under martial law.
Like, they can just say, it's up to the government now.
All the checks and balances that were put in place by the Constitution to ensure that there would be no corruption, there would be no ultimate power corrupting ultimately.
Well, they've removed all that shit.
And, you know, right now, everybody's like, look, but you're fine.
No one's dying.
Nothing's happening.
The people that you say yes to today may not be the people you say yes to 10 years from now or 20 years from now.
And these laws are crazy.
These laws are that we might as well be living in fucking North Korea and that's not ridiculous.
That's not an exaggeration.
These are unconstitutional laws.
And they're not going to stop now.
They're going to go more and more and with more and more control Until ultimately, the government, which has, by the way, approved the idea of sending drones.
I think it was 2020. They're going to have 30,000 drones in the sky above North America.
We developed a method to transition between formations in 3D. Folks, you have to see this because what you're not seeing is these guys are moving in perfect geometrical patterns.
They move in these formations and they're showing it from overhead and it's amazing.
Their precision is incredible.
This is terrifying.
And by the way, this is only, like, version 1. You know, this is like the first iPhone.
That's where it gets weird when you've got a computer directing swarms of those things to construct architecture that humans couldn't even make, you know, like weird fucking geometries that can only happen when a computer is in control of the building process.
If it looked at the environment it's living in and realized that this massive overpopulating entity that's spilling all its bullshit into the sea and eating all the fucking animals that live in it, and then they'll just calculate, how long can this last?
The machines are watching everything, and when you litter, and when you're a shithead, and when you beat your wife, you just get sucked out of the sky.
Have you ever seen the video of that there's a machine that you can take to the desert that someone made?
It's solar powered because there's so much energy and it focuses the energy of the sun in the desert to turn sand into blocks.
It can burn sand into blocks.
So now imagine this.
Combine those fucking things with solar panels and a thing that can use an infinite amount of sand in the desert to make blocks.
Those things could fly out in the fucking desert and make infinitely gigantic structures with endless fucking energy.
Just the combination of those two technologies at the rudimentary level that they're at now if we could fucking figure out how to make them solar powered.
Well, have you ever been, there's certain parts of California where we have filmed some fear factors where they have these...
These huge, like, they look like a farm of these wind things, these windmills, like a windmill farm.
And there's a shitload of them just sitting up on a hill.
And they power the area.
I don't know how much they power, how many structures, how many buildings, but it's enough that a lot of shit is getting powered by the wind.
Yeah, it's really a trip well, it's really windy out there too So it's it's a smart thing to do like even as you come like out here towards Pasadena and you head up to 210 Yeah When you go through that whole mountainy passy area where it's like you lose your cell phone signal fucking beautiful out there Yep windy as fuck a lot of people have like real wind problems even out here like remember when It they had a problem really recently the wind knocked down a lot of power cables and past you know Yeah, Pasadena got fucked by wind.
Dry ice or propane expansion cools the air to such an extent that the ice crystals can nucleate Spontaneously from the vapor phase Wow, this is crazy dude in the future people are terrified dude in the fucking future you might be able to send your name your personal nanobots swarm out of your house into the clouds above your house and make a little personal thundershower happen above your house and Yeah, you probably will be able to.
I think what I've read and what's been explained to me by pilots is that under certain conditions, there's a certain amount of moisture in the air, and it gets churned up in the turbines of a jet engine, and it comes out looking like clouds, and it stays in the sky for a while.
It's your inability to stop your hand from putting shit into your mouth.
That's the conspiracy, dude.
It's the fact that people can't control their fucking hand and are always shoving poison into their mouth and eating shitty things and smoking shitty things and taking bad pills.
I was talking to a guy who believed in chemtrails, and he was smoking a cigarette while he was telling me about the poisons that the government's dumping.
Like, maybe there is some kind of, like, evil external force that's trying to destroy you, but really, you're the one shoveling the poison into your fucking, into your pie hole.
Well, again, I think it comes back to what we were talking about earlier about the Native Americans having a much better sense of their connection with the food that they're eating.
And that, for us, that whole hunter-gatherer thing is out the window.
I go to the Vons and I pick up meat and I go to the...
Get myself a nice salad, and that's it.
I didn't have to pick anything.
I didn't have to go get my water in bottles because all the water is poison.
It's just so funny, though, that so many people writhing in physical discomfort because they're too fat, or they don't exercise, or they don't eat right, are upset about a conspiracy that the government is involved in that's trying...
To take away their happiness or their freedom or dumb them down.
It's like, no, no, no.
You don't exercise.
You eat at McDonald's.
You smoke cigarettes.
Your house is fucking filthy.
That's the shit you should worry about first.
Fix that conspiracy.
Solve that problem.
Stop that conspiracy from happening and then worry about the fucking chemtrails.
I've been obsessed lately with this Finding Bigfoot show.
I've been watching this show left and right and it leads me to sometimes stone tweets in the middle of the night mocking them and everybody and myself and how fucking stupid I am for watching this show.
It is a psychological study, and one of the psychological studies is who are these people that are believing in Bigfoot?
Who are these people that are leading these guys?
And this is what we saw, and we're standing here, and it comes out, and they never ask these dudes.
They never go, okay, what do you think about ghosts?
Get to the bottom of what the messenger is, because a lot of times the messenger who's giving you this really crazy, preposterous, outrageous story They lean towards that shit.
They want that shit to be real.
They might not even be lying.
But they might be just seeing shit in the woods just because they're fucking wired for that.
They want to see it.
They want to believe.
They want to.
And they can't be fucking trusted.
When they go to these...
Finding Bigfoot, they go to these local town halls and shit.
They go, alright, who here has seen a Sasquatch?
And these motherfuckers raise their hands.
And I'm like, you assholes are missing the whole real show.
The whole real show, it can't be done by them because they are the people that they're...
The whole real show is a bunch of fucking people that want to believe in Bigfoot so bad.
They're out in the woods.
That's a squash.
That was definitely a squash.
They yell out.
They're yelling out in the fucking woods, screaming at the top of their lungs.
Bigfoot is a, first of all, Jane Goodall was a firm believer in Bigfoot and actually stated that, you know, the famous primate expert stated that it must be real.
That there's too many sightings of the same animal all over the world and it is very possible that there is enough area that hasn't been discovered or is too densely wooded that it support a large primate like that if it was intelligent and new to hide from people.
There's 250 different names for it in North America, in the American Indian language.
That's big, because there's not a lot of shit that's not real that they don't have names for.
And it's based on a real animal.
We're going to get a guy in here that's a fucking expert on it, which means nothing.
What does that mean?
I'm an expert on some shit that's probably not real anymore.
If you look at the stories that have gone back to a long, long fucking time in history, for sure some people saw bears, they shit their pants, they thought it was a person, and they made up a story.
For sure, sometimes people remember things.
In our own lives we know this.
My mom is terrible at remembering things that really happened.
I'll tell my mom something, that didn't happen.
I know it happened.
I was there.
I remember it.
For sure it happened.
But she will swear.
I mean, you show her pictures of it, and she'll go, huh.
Well, I don't remember that.
When we did that game show in my head show, and I told you we got people to talk about UFOs, got them to make up a UFO story because we pretended to be a news guy that had gotten there too late.
Would you mind pretending that you saw the UFO? People just started talking, man.
Just so excited they were going to get on television.
people trouncing through the woods.
I'm looking at a bunch of people that are lonely.
They don't have any real purpose in their life.
These people that don't have real good friends, this one weird guy with his poor fucking kid and his kid was like, my dad might be crazy sitting here talking about we saw Bigfoot What the fuck did we really see?
My dad's a liar.
My dad's claiming we saw Bigfoot and then the kids sort of lying along with it.
You can watch them.
You look at the insincerity in their words.
They had a guy on the other day just gay as fuck.
Just beyond gay.
Just a crazy flock of seagulls, haircut, lisp, everything.
Yeah, I was having a Twitter exchange with this chick the other day, and we were going off about how to combine the two shows and just make it a porno.
And that's really what it is.
It's a bunch of lonely people.
Night vision, unkempt pubes, fatty, sweaty bodies, and night vision loads.
Take it back to the story that it comes from, whether it's real or not.
The story the Catholic Church comes from, name one guy dressed like a gnome in that story.
Name one guy wearing a big golden flowing cape and holding a funny thing and marching around with fucking the purple velvet on and fucking walking around on red carpets and giant golden palaces.
Especially all the audacious use of gold and money and spending.
Think about all the different gigantic Roman Colosseum, the Sistine Chapel, or think of any of the things of the construction in Rome, any of the stuff that's at the Vatican.
That's like a really elaborate, expensive, gaudy, non-Christian shit.
By the way, this attitude is really offending a lot of people on Twitter.
There's a lot of Christians that have sent me texts saying, I wish you would remind me or at least warn us that before you go on these horrible anti-Christian rants that destroy our culture.
But dude, that's not what I view as real Christianity.
Because if you look at a lot of the Christianities that some people follow, it's based on a lot of the writings of somebody named Paul, who never met Jesus.
He was a persecuted Christian, and he was walking on the road to Damascus.
He saw a vision.
His name was Saul of Tarsus, and he saw a vision of Jesus.
Jesus appeared in the sky and said, Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?
And at that moment, Saul was filled with the glory of the Lord, and he was blinded.
And he wandered and found some Christians, found him, and his name became Paul.
And he was the founder of the modern Christian church.
And he wrote all these letters about what it is to be in the spirit of Christ and to be with Christ.
But it's really interesting to think about that when you realize that it's like, so a lot of people call what's after the Gospels, the epistles, which a lot of them call that Paulian theology.
It's not Christianity.
It's based on, because here's the big problem that Christians ran into.
In many verses in the Bible, Jesus said, before some of you die, I'm going to be back.
And he didn't come back.
And some of the disciples started dying.
And then it's like, wait a minute, he's not coming back.
What are we going to do?
And they had to reorganize shit and turn it into something that was like, that made more sense, which is to deal with some basic problems and what Christ, if he existed in that story, said was going to happen.
When somebody robs a bank, they say, everybody get on the fucking ground and don't move.
I'm gonna walk out of here and I'm gonna come back in two minutes.
And if any of you have moved, I'm gonna blow your fucking brains out.
This is what a bank robber does when he's robbing a bank.
This is what Jesus did when he said, I'm gonna be back really soon.
And if anyone's misbehaving, you're going to hell forever.
And that's been going on for a long fucking time, man.
And it's probably going to keep going on and on and on.
And each time it advances down a generation, it gets weirder and weirder and weirder.
So now we've got a guy dressed like a fucking gnome, feeling totally cool sitting in a golden throne when there's people all over the planet starving.
And somehow that guy is a disciple of a person who went around saying, love your neighbor as yourself and love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, and soul.
By the way, clear evidence that he harbored child molesters.
Clear evidence that he derailed investigations and moved people around when he was, whatever the fuck he was, a bishop or whatever the fuck he was when he was doing this.
How did that get to be the strongest, most powerful form of Christianity?
Which is, by the way, also...
The most nuts, the most fucking crazy, judgmental, the most guilt-ridden, injecting horrible feelings of sorrow into little boys' heads because they touched their penis.
And in our world, it's so unnatural because we're actually covering our bodies up.
We hide our genitals.
We have this weird sort of a combinatory lifestyle of natural animal urges mixed with this higher self and consciousness and language and the awareness of the impact of your words and deeds and physical acts on other people and that you're putting out a negative energy and a negative vibe and we discourage that in our communities and discourage that in our laws.
But the reality is, we have these fucking urges to fuck, and they're not regulated.
They're not, like, no one's, like, recognizing that.
Like, hey, you know, we need to, like, why is prostitution bad?
Someone explain that to me.
If someone, you know, needs money, and someone has a mouth, you know, and they go, you know what, I can make a lot of money with this mouth, and what is worse, working at Wendy's for a week and making $300, or sucking a guy's dick for 10 minutes and making $500?
And a lot of people will go, I would rather suck this guy's dick.
And this guy, he's some poor guy who's horny, you know?
And it's like you give him a mouth massage on his dick, and he blows a load in your mouth, and he's so happy.
Oh, my God.
He's so released.
Like, that was so good.
And he gives you a $100 tip.
Now you made $600.
Why is that bad?
I'm not sure.
Why is it okay to do that for free?
How come if she meets that guy and she likes him, she blows him and it's the greatest thing that ever happened?
Then that's fine.
But if she meets that guy and he's like, listen, I have 500 bucks and I would like to get my dick sucked and I know you're hard on money and you want to make a deal?
I believe it because I've seen someone say in someone accusing someone of being a homophobe, they said something about them upsetting the lesbian, gay, it was like LGBTQ. I go, bi.
Well, not really, because I think a lot of girls live in Vegas anyway, because a lot of them, they make money dancing as well as doing movies.
Isn't that like the thing?
They announce they do feature dancing and people are like, dudes are fucking fans of some porn stars.
You may say it's kind of weird and strange, but why is it?
Look, if you're a fan of an actress and you come to see her at a book signing, you're a fan of the way a chick sucks dicks and she's nice enough to let you watch her suck a lot of dicks.
What's unfortunate is that women like that, man, especially if they're not, like, heavy-duty into working out, is that they get older and they lose their body.
When a woman goes from being Pamela Anderson, and she's still attractive, she hasn't hit this yet, but it's coming, you know, unless she figures out some way to do a lot of fucking squats and keep her body, like, when you become a woman who has enormous artificial boobs and your body's kind of falling apart and you have these big bags Sitting in front pushing out your shirt and you know this cleavage that you're...
but it's been sun drenched for so long.
It's got this weird sort of leathery texture and you're trying to tone that down with heavy doses of moisturizer.
So your tits are always greasy and leathery at the same time and your ass is evaporating.
So you try to stick it out a little so you're wearing high heel shoes where it's really not appropriate and they're really high and you know you're awkward, you can barely walk.
When you're a girl and you look like Pamela Anderson, dude, first of all, when she was young, she was so hot.
That's all anybody probably could comment on all the time.
From the time when she was young, all the people that she met...
I guarantee you, everyone was just, holy shit, you're so pretty.
That happens.
But listen, when a girl gets addicted and gets caught up in that, it's almost like there's nothing that can match the kind of power and energy she gets just from her own looks.
So it's almost like it was too alluring to just run with that.
Too many people were encouraging her.
And essentially, she got away without doing any porn except for that one accidental time.
Some people, like, immediately, they'll discount somebody if they are a professional hot chick or if they're a girl who's attractive, like, immediately.
Because they know it's so easy to be that person.
Life is so easy.
What are the odds that you've been thinking?
What are the odds that you've been contemplating your existence?
Because to get to that point, you had to have some humility that didn't come from looking in the mirror, the reaction that you're getting from the people around you.
Well, there's also, when someone feels like they're getting scammed over, like you don't really like them, you know, if someone's in a situation where a girl is using her looks to get by in life, The guy who is taking advantage of that, the guys who get with those girls, they know that this isn't a real love.
This is a real love under certain conditions.
And that certain conditions are you're here to provide finances or pay for things or something.
There's some...
Those guys are going to resent that.
So that manipulative relationship is never a real relationship where you really both truly love each other.
And you can't wait to see that person.
It's always this weird, creepy deal where you know you're getting fucked and you want to check her cell phone because you don't like the way her fucking trainer looks at you when you say hi to her at the gym.
You think she might be fucking her trainer.
What a nightmare.
Imagine if you were some old dude.
You're like 80 years old and you get yourself a 30-year-old chippy.
And she likes to work out.
And you're playing golf and you walk in and she's getting stretched out by this fucking buff 25-year-old trainer.
She's got her leg on his shoulder.
There's a lot of dudes who do creepy shit like that.
Alright, time to stretch you out.
That's what we're going to do here.
I'm going to pick your leg up.
You're going to put it on my shoulder.
Hey, fuckhead.
You don't have to do that, stupid.
You can stretch all those major muscle groups on the ground, you dumb fuck.
But there's a lot of dudes who do creepy shit with girls.
Alright, lean both your arms back.
And they get a nice, firm sexual grip on their forearms.
So just to let a woman feel the grip strength.
You know what I'm talking about?
And they just pull you back.
Pull you back at some weird, uncomfortable, sort of semi-sexual position.
And you could say, well, if you wanted to be cynical and pragmatic, that he's providing something, she's getting something out of this, it's a good relationship, he wants comfort and sex, and she's willing to sort of give that as long as he provides a ridiculous income to her.
That's the reason why they have this unbalanced relationship in the first place.
He has to be unbalanced financially.
To overcompensate for the physical unbalance, he has to be ridiculously unbalanced.
He has to be buying her minks and fucking diamonds.
And then you get to stick your dick in my mouth.
I like diamonds.
That's the deal she has with him.
So she was using him for his money.
Of course, that's the deal.
Yes, using him for his money.
And he's using her for her great hot body.
You're not supposed to get this when you're 80. It's essentially what you're doing is taking on an insane prostitution contract that almost nobody can keep up with.
Yeah, you know, some guy pretends to be deep and lost girl, and, you know, he's an information he has that, you know, he takes time with her and something no one ever did, and he has needs, and she takes care of it for him.
That's possible.
Most of the time, not likely.
Most of the time, it's some motherfucker that's living in some shit that nobody should be living in.
Some crazy fucking castle.
Every now and then, as a goof, I like to go on websites and look at stupid expensive houses that are for sale.
What is the most expensive house you can buy?
There's like $20 million houses.
And you can go and look at the pictures of them.
They show them online.
You see the grounds and everything.
Holy shit!
unidentified
What is this crazy way that one person gets to live?
If you were a guy and you were like a super rich dude who lived in this giant crazy house and you're 80 years old and there's this 23-year-old really hot Eastern Bloc chick that may or might not be an assassin as well as a hooker.
I've said often on this show that my best advice to someone is pretend to be the guy, or be the guy, rather, that you pretend to be when you're trying to get laid.
Just be that guy.
Be that guy.
Be that guy when you're trying to impress a chick with how cool you are.
A lot of people just act on instinct, and they don't ever look at their life from a point of view like, what would I be impressed with if someone handled this?
If this was a movie, what would be the most moral and the coolest and nicest thing to do here, the most admirable thing to do?
And when you become capable of doing that, you become capable of looking at your whole life through almost an objective perspective.
I'm reading a book called the games people play and it's like an analysis of like the basic games that we play for example like shaking hands is a game where the rules of the game are you're kind of like transmitting a what I think what they call a token so like if I come up to you and I extend my hand for you to shake my hand and you don't shake my hand then that creates a weird moment because you haven't made it a complete transaction you know what I'm saying yes yes So it's like,
it's an analysis of everything at that level, and it just sort of comes back that we're all engaged in these weird games.
Everyone, you know, whether you're acting like you're the greatest person on a date, or whether you're acting like you're some kind of weak person who is always broke and is always in bad relationships, or whether you're acting like you're a priest, or whether you're acting like you're...
Whatever the fucking thing is, you're just playing a game.
You're just playing the game of being this person.
You know, that's...
So we're all in the kind of...
Endless, absurd situation of having to pretend to be something, you know?
Whatever it is.
Like, fucking waiters.
Anyone you're buying anything from, they're having to act in this weird way called professional.
But they're just acting like, who's this character?
It's a character.
You're playing a weird character of someone who's like, thank you.
I mean, it's like to do it without help, to do it without either psychedelic help or to do it without some sort of intense meditation and yoga and training.
And I feel like you guys are some of the coolest, most positive people that I've ever come across on the internet.
I think it's an amazing...
It's an amazing moment when we've collected so many really cool and friendly and fun people that follow us.
If you think about the amount of negative tweets that you get, the amount of negative shit that you get, it's so small in relationship to how many cool people there are out there.
Cool stories you get tweeted, funny things, you know, answers to questions.
I think we're super, super lucky, man.
You know, I think we're putting out a cool vibe, and I think we're putting out an honest way of looking at the world, and people are responding.
And we're responding back, and it's the most fun I've ever had doing comedy.
It's the most fun I've ever had doing anything, you know, that you would call like in show business.
And it's as open and as honest as we are capable of.
And I think that helps us.
I know it helps me.
I know these conversations have been huge for breaking things down for me and just kind of reassembling the way I look at the world.
You know, and having all these different guests on and having all these different people and all these really different intelligent people and really intense opinions.
And it's super, super beneficial, man.
And I'm just so happy that we're able to do this.
It's the fucking coolest thing I've ever done.
I really, really enjoy it.
It's almost right up there with stand-up to me.
Stand-up will always be like the sacred top of the...
And the reason why it's cool is how many cool people it impacts and how many cool people who it impacts share their love with us and send that love back at us.
Thank you to the Fleshlight for keeping it real, staying with us since the beginning where it was ridiculous that anybody would give us money for this stupid fucking show.
If you started today, this is the first episode that you ever downloaded, don't download episode one because it's fucking terrible.
Tickets are sold out, I believe, for the first show at the Tabernacle on April 20th, but there's still some tickets available for the second show, and that is where I'm going to be filming my next special.
I'm fucking super pumped about this.
This is, for real, the best shit I've ever done.
I've been doing a lot of stand-up lately.
I'm in the groove.
We had a great time this weekend at the Comedy and Magic Club.
That place is so beautiful.
And then this weekend we're in Louisville at the Improv all weekend, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
And there's supposed to be some crazy basketball thing going on.
Oh yeah, so I've had this poster made, which is I'm only making 666 of them.
And they're these giant posters, these incredible, awesome posters that Justin McAllister, this amazing artist made of me getting possessed by my satanic puppet.
As you can see, this is it.
Once we get 666 of these through all the homes in America, they will make a chaos vortex and the singularity will happen.
Dude, I had somebody come up to me on the street, and after a few minutes talking, they asked me about my friend in college, Emil, and they knew his name.
They're like, how's Emil, man?
It's like, dude, that's something that someone would find out about me months into a friendship, you know?
