| I never know how to start these. | ||
| I never know how it should start. | ||
| It's weird sometimes you do that breathing thing lately. | ||
| Like you're getting excited. | ||
| It's me relaxed. | ||
| Traumatic breathing. | ||
| It's in through the nose, folks. | ||
| And then out to the mouth, relaxing. | ||
| That's how you're supposed to breathe. | ||
| That's something you taught me with comedy. | ||
| A lot of times I catch myself doing that and I hear you in the back of my head just like breathe in and breathe out. | ||
| Breathe in, deep breaths. | ||
| And I'm like, wow, it really does work. | ||
| You could get stuck on stage without any air where you fucked up and didn't plan your breaths. | ||
| And then people are staring at you going, why the fuck should we be paying attention to you, stupid? | ||
| Oh, so you've done that before where you can't even finish a sentence. | ||
|

|
You're like... | |
| Oh yeah, here we go. | ||
| Even fairly recently timed it badly, you know, where I pulled it off, but it's like, yikes. | ||
| Very close to not. | ||
| Anyway, the Joe Rogan Experience is brought to you by Onnit.com. | ||
| That's O-N-N-I-T. Makers of Alpha Brain, New Mood, Shroom Tech Sport, Shroom Tech Immune. | ||
| Dude, we got battle ropes now, bitches. | ||
| We got kettlebells. | ||
| The Hemp Force protein powder is in route. | ||
| I have a sample right here at Joe Rogan Compound. | ||
| So we got a lot of good shit coming with Onnit.com and some stuff that we're actually going to talk about on the podcast. | ||
| But if you're interested in any of this stuff, I always encourage anyone who's interested in the topic of nootropics to Google it. | ||
| Go and Google it. | ||
| Read all the pros and the cons. | ||
| And know this, if there's anything that we're selling on this show, anything, whether it's... | ||
| You know, whether I'm telling you that I support Alienware computers because they support MMA, whether it's the fleshlight, whether it's anything that we sell on the show. | ||
| We only sell some shit that's legit. | ||
| And I personally am a huge fan of vitamins and nutrients. | ||
| Taking care of your body. | ||
| Meanwhile, I just ate a sausage sub. | ||
| Dude. | ||
| Stupid sausage. | ||
| I had to say Wendy's. | ||
| Cavaletta's is so awesome. | ||
| There's a deli in Canoga Park that's so fucking old school Italian and they had a sausage sub and I couldn't pass. | ||
| But for the most part I eat healthy. | ||
| I will punish myself for that and I won't allow myself for anything shit for days and days. | ||
| That looked worth it though. | ||
| It was a little bit worth it. | ||
| It's a little worth it. | ||
| I believe in cheat days, man. | ||
| But I believe you should earn those bitches. | ||
| And for the most part, you should be eating healthy. | ||
| Healthy as fuck, you dirty freaks. | ||
| So that's what these nootropics are all about. | ||
| It's all about increasing your brain's ability to produce neurotransmitters. | ||
| Is that the best way to describe it? | ||
| That would be it. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| And Aubrey and I both have had a tremendous amount of experience taking these things long before we ever became involved in selling them and distributing them. | ||
| There's a bunch of different formulas out there. | ||
| A lot of them are good. | ||
| I think ours is the best. | ||
| And if you want to try it and give it a shot, the first 30 pills, we have a 100% money back guarantee. | ||
| So you don't even have to return the product. | ||
| You don't like it. | ||
| You get your money back. | ||
| We're that confident that it's that good. | ||
| We're that confident that you're going to love it and you're going to get hooked on it and you're going to be like me. | ||
| I didn't take any before the show. | ||
| Give me the bag. | ||

|
Quickly! | |
| I panic. | ||
| I panic that you find out how stupid I am without pot and alpha brain. | ||
| I couldn't work. | ||
| I couldn't work. | ||
| I could work, but I wouldn't be very good. | ||
| He's become an addict. | ||
| I wouldn't be the same, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| I wouldn't be the same. | ||
| Once you get used to those heightened levels of neurotransmitters. | ||
| Yeah, man. | ||
| I'm really addicted to weed when it comes to writing. | ||
| I'm telling you. | ||
| I sit down and try to write without weed and then I just go, what the fuck are you doing, stupid? | ||
| Did you read the new studies about weed? | ||
| What about it? | ||
| That was released yesterday. | ||
| Again, they went through it and there's no signs of it being dangerous to your body or anything at all. | ||
| The LD50 rate is 1500 pounds. | ||
| You know what that means? | ||
| That means lethal dose at 50% of the humans. | ||
| It means it would kill the weak bitches. | ||
| So you'd have to smoke 1,500 pounds to kill the weak bitches. | ||
| Guess what? | ||
| You're not killing Joey Diaz with 1,500 pounds. | ||
| Joey Diaz laughs at your 1,500 pounds. | ||
| You give him 1,500 pounds of weed and he'll just be running around naked, screaming at people, you cocksucker, you think you're going to kill me that easy? | ||
| That's not going to kill him. | ||
| 1,500 pounds. | ||
| Unless you dropped it out of a CIA drug plane. | ||
| It landed on his fucking head. | ||
| That's the only way to kill him. | ||
| Blood force trauma is the only way to kill Joey with weed. | ||
| The only way. | ||
| Alright, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| Our pal Aubrey is back from the fucking jungles of Peru with another ayahuasca adventure. | ||
| We're going to get deep. | ||

The Joe Rogan Experience. | |
| Train by day. | ||
| Joe Rogan Podcast by night. | ||
| All day. | ||
| That still is one of the proudest moments in my life. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hearing Nick Diaz say that, train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night. | |
| That was one of the happiest I've ever been as an adult. | ||
| That was like right up there with fucking anything else that's ever made me happy. | ||
| That was so killer. | ||
| So you're back, dude. | ||
| I'm back. | ||
| How many times a year are you trying to do these intense psychedelic experiences? | ||
| Well, you know, after this last experience, I kind of got the message that, you know, there wasn't too much left for me to explore in this. | ||
| But, you know, I kind of see myself as an adventurer, you know, coming back, getting knowledge and taking it back and sharing it. | ||
| When you say that not too much left, like, I always feel like if I do it too much, that I'm not absorbing what's happening. | ||
| I always feel like if I have too many experiences in a row, like two or three in a couple of months, I feel like I'm just playing. | ||
| I'm just riding a ride. | ||
| I'm getting scared. | ||
| It takes a long time for the big ones to make sense to me. | ||
| Yeah, I think there's a certain amount of information that needs to kind of accumulate, and you need to get farther off track for your experience to be really... | ||
| Well, that's what the people say that are real skeptics. | ||
| They'll say, what information? | ||
| What has anybody ever brought back? | ||
| There is some anecdotal evidence that some things have been discovered while on LSD, and supposedly Francis Crick on his dying deathbed said that LSD was... | ||
| Discovered the DNA molecule, yeah. | ||
| But you know what, man? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Fucking... | |
| On my deathbed, somebody might say I turned Christian, you know? | ||
| You're fucking dying, man. | ||
| You just might be making shit up. | ||
| You know, he's crazy. | ||
| He's dying. | ||
| I mean, why is a deathbed worth anything, you know? | ||
| I mean, deathbed, she'd be like, don't listen to that, dude. | ||
| He's fucking freaking out right now. | ||
| He's dying. | ||
| Why did you decide to make up some shit about LSD and the DNA model? | ||
| Oh, it's fucking whatever. | ||
| I was dying. | ||
| I was tripping my balls off. | ||
| Like... | ||
| But what have you, like, is there like one thing that you could, like, if someone said, what do you ever bring back? | ||
| Is there one thing that you could say? | ||
| I can give you three things from this last experience that were pretty poignant life lessons that were told to me just directly, flat out, that I think will help me for the rest of my life. | ||
| I mean, actual concrete things. | ||
| This was a very different experience, and I don't know if I should just go from the start or kind of hop into the middle here. | ||
| For the folks who don't know, Aubrey had a recent one. | ||
| It was about, what is it, six months ago? | ||
| The last one? | ||
| Well, the Iboga was six months ago, and then the last trip to Peru was a full year ago. | ||
| So this was the anniversary of that first epic trip down to the jungle. | ||
| In the first epic trip, you went with the same guy, the guy they call the dragon. | ||
| The dragon, yeah. | ||
| And you had some insane visions, and you communicated with flotillas of snakes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| What was it like? | ||
| Yeah, I mean, the second experience I had, the first one was just basically coming to terms with my own mortal death. | ||
| I mean, every possible way I could die, snakes eating out my organs, sliding down vines of thorns, every possible way that I could confront my death, I had to go through. | ||
| Sliding down vines of thorns? | ||
| It was even telling me, it was like, your body is riddled with cancer. | ||
| You're going to die as soon as you get back. | ||
| And I was like, oh, that was the one that got me, actually. | ||
| The thorns and the snakes eating me and actually the insects burrowing in my skin and exploding. | ||
| All of that stuff. | ||
| I was like, alright, I'm cool with that. | ||
| Like, I can get over that. | ||
| But then it was like, your body's riddled with cancer and you're going to die. | ||
| And at that point, I had... | ||
| What a dick. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| But at that point, I had to be like, okay, you know, if this is the end, so be it. | ||
| And as soon as that happened... | ||
| I could feel, you know, the medicine just kind of draw me back down into the ground and a deep sense of peace and a kind of conquering of a fear of suffering that I had. | ||
| So you had to just figure out how to let go of the idea that you're going to die, which really is the one thing that fucks with almost everybody. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's the number one pervasive fear. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I've had that conversation yesterday with my four-year-old. | ||
| It's very strange when they start to be aware that, you know, that people will cease to exist. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That's a tough one. | ||
| So that's why they call it the vine of death, actually. | ||
| It's one of the reasons is because Ayahuasca is one of the first things it's going to do. | ||
| It's going to make you confront your death. | ||
| And if you're not ready for that, you'll fight that, and you'll battle with that until the end. | ||
| But you've got to just kind of get past that first step. | ||
| Fortunately, the first session I had the last time, a year ago, got me through that. | ||
| And then the next one, I was just brought to what the shamans call the eighth dimension, they call it out there. | ||
| That's just the paradigm that they use. | ||
| But it was just this unbelievably lucid place where I had to get me there. | ||
| I had a flotilla drawing smoke out of me, and then I had another one that was shooting a beam of light under my tongue. | ||
| Under your tongue? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It was the weirdest thing. | ||
| I've since had some people say, You know, there's some yogic practices where you absorb something or another underneath your tongue. | ||
| But I knew none of that now. | ||
| And I don't know if I necessarily subscribed to that even after reading it. | ||
| But there is some kind of literature about underneath the tongue. | ||
| But I just did it instinctively. | ||
| And this beam of light just goes piercing through my tongue. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I wonder if it's because of sublingual drugs. | ||
| Yeah, it's a very strong absorption site. | ||
| It's like the easiest way to absorb directly into your bloodstream, so it's kind of an odd thing for me to do without thinking about it. | ||
| After that happened, I just burst into this other dimension. | ||
| And from that dimension, I could see people that I wanted to see. | ||
| I could scan my body. | ||
| I could look towards the future, towards business, towards anything. | ||
| And everything was just perfectly lucid in this universe that didn't change no matter which direction I looked at. | ||
| And it was an incredibly profound, life-changing experience in the last sessions. | ||
| Did it seem, when you were looking at the world and all the different aspects of your world, did it seem like something you're creating in your mind? | ||
| No. | ||
| It really didn't at this time. | ||
| And I've had some psilocybin experiences and some other different experiences that seem very much like an exploration on a ride through my own subconscious. | ||
| Like going through the dream state, processing bad emotions, bad feelings. | ||
| But something particular about the DMT experience and the Iboga experience transcends that kind of feeling like you're on a ride through dreamland, you know, that really is your own mind. | ||
| It felt completely different because I was so lucid. | ||
| I was so able to just navigate through a different space where only the shaman was sharing that space. | ||
| The rest of the people around me We're just these spindles of light that I could kind of see through. | ||
| And I had full options to do whatever I want. | ||
| I even ran back to my cabin and shot a little video where I looked really kind of weird and a little bit freaked out. | ||
| But I was like, I had to capture that moment because I was worried that I was going to forget it. | ||
| So you got a video of you talking about what you just experienced? | ||
| Or were you experiencing it currently while you were in the video? | ||
| I was experiencing it currently. | ||
| So I turned the camera on myself and I was like, You know, this is me. | ||
| I hate to mention it's a space of infinite possibilities and I'll show you there or something like that. | ||
| But I had such freedom to just do whatever I wanted in that. | ||
| It seems almost impossible to me that that was generated by my own mind. | ||
| So what do you think it is then? | ||
| It is generated by your own mind interacting with a drug. | ||
| But does that drug act as a doorway to the new experience? | ||
| I think it does. | ||
| I think what DMT does is it opens up the other dimensional realms where there's knowledge and information that wants to come and access your brain. | ||
| You want to receive information from those other dimensions and how it comes to you is generally There's a translation gap. | ||
| There's no Rosetta Stone there, so it comes through generally as pictures, and these pictures can often be very confusing, but it's Really trying to translate information that your brain wants to get access to. | ||
| And the only way it knows how to do that is to show you pictures. | ||
| So you explore these pictures and find answers from what I believe is either the collective unconsciousness of all people or another dimension that's even higher, that's beyond people, that transcends people, that's a wisdom older than people. | ||
| And I think that's kind of where you're accessing this information. | ||
| I think there's also some component of your own mind and consciousness, but I think DMT in particular is a pretty unique molecule that really allows access from some other spaces that are non-self-generated. | ||
| It certainly seems like that when you're doing it, but nobody knows what the fuck that really is. | ||
| What are you doing over there, Brian? | ||
| Looking up cat pictures. | ||
| Okay, let's not do that while the podcast is on. | ||
| It's very distracting. | ||
| I'm looking at you on the screen. | ||
| If you want to look up cat pictures, just stretch us out so you don't have to be looking like a fucking weirdo cat stalker in the corner. | ||
| When you take it and you have that feeling, though, do you think it's possible that that feeling is just a drug interacting with your mind? | ||
| Because that's what the skeptic would say, right? | ||
| Sure. | ||
| It's certainly possible. | ||
| I mean, how can you rule that out? | ||
| And actually, that's one of the things that... | ||
| And I'll get into that a little bit more in the second experience. | ||
| Because the second experience, this one I just got back from, I had actual encounters with allies. | ||
| Like, different beings that were talking to me. | ||
| And that's the first time that's ever happened. | ||
| Like the last time... | ||
| And they were giving you good advice? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, they were giving me good advice. | ||
| Do you think that that's possible, that that's like part of your personality? | ||
| That's definitely possible. | ||
| It's definitely possible. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| Like there's like some area of your personality that subconsciously needed to get expressed. | ||
| And so what it's done is it's created a character. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| It's going to guide you. | ||
| I mean, I don't know. | ||
| Look, that's absolutely possible. | ||
| And I'm not playing devil's advocate. | ||
| I just really don't know. | ||
| It certainly has felt like when I've had DMT experiences that I wasn't in the same place as I am now. | ||
| I felt like I was in a new world. | ||
| And I definitely also was kind of tweaked by the fact that I was myself. | ||
| I wasn't drunk. | ||
| I wasn't stoned. | ||
| I wasn't myself tripping balls. | ||
| I was myself seeing something that was impossible. | ||
| It's a weird thing how that experience hits you where it doesn't change the way you feel physically, the way your mind works. | ||
| It doesn't change that. | ||
| It seems like a doorway, but I don't know what the fuck is really going on. | ||
| It's interesting, yeah. | ||
| So I'll tell the story of how I encountered these beings, and then we'll try and figure it out. | ||
| Because I had a lively debate. | ||
| I was actually down there with my friend Bodhi, and we had a lively debate. | ||
| He was on the camp that it was just parts of my own mind. | ||
| But for me, I wasn't quite sure. | ||
| It seemed like it was something different. | ||
| Well, I think that either or, to be confident in either or is silly. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| Look, consciousness is created by chemicals, okay? | ||
| You need all these different chemicals in order for a human being to have a mind that's functioning. | ||
| And this consciousness of the human mind has manifested a physical reality that is almost impossible to imagine. | ||
| When you think of airplanes and the internet and television and fucking giant buildings and shit, these all come from chemicals. | ||
| Chemicals have produced chain reactions. | ||
| They've produced, they've set into motion a chain of events that have fucking eaten every fish out of the ocean, polluted everything, you know, figured out how to drop bombs that incinerate a half a million people at a time. | ||
| I mean, this has all come from chemicals. | ||
| So why would we be tripped out that the idea that you introduce a different chemical and you literally change dimensions? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, the chemicals in this dimension have changed the shit out of this place. | ||
| And that has done it in the form and the manifestation of human consciousness. | ||
| Why wouldn't we think that another one that you add to human consciousness might elevate you to some different place? | ||
| Yeah, and that's what I think the real shame about all the drug laws that disallow these different explorations. | ||
| At this point, it's still such a small amount of people that are accessing this, that are able to research it. | ||
| The LeBron James of psychedelic tripping has not been discovered yet. | ||
| He's the person who can go out there and pick up information that's completely different and bring it back and solve some of these mysteries. | ||
| You've got to have a basketball court on every block to produce LeBron James. | ||
| You've got to have psychedelics legal to get enough people to get the The super, you know, the super explorer out there and have access to it. | ||
| Yeah, and I think also collectively we learn from each other's experiences. | ||
| I know that, you know, when I have had friends that have tripped and came back and had a different perspective on themselves, you know, just absorbing their story and absorbing their experience and then you have your experience compounded with The information that they kind of gave you about their experience, and it all builds up together. | ||
| When you're just by yourself alone in a fucking cabin in Vermont, and you're tripping your fucking balls off with nobody to talk to, you know? | ||
| What was that movie, Into the Wild? | ||
| Is that what it was? | ||
| Where the kid goes up to Alaska, and one of his big things is he realizes he can't have fun. | ||
| Unless he is with other people. | ||
| You can't enjoy your life unless you're with other people. | ||
| The idea of going out here. | ||
| Humans are social creatures. | ||
| You can't just be in Alaska and go, this is so beautiful. | ||
| I'm going to be so happy. | ||
| No, where is everybody? | ||
| Doesn't matter how many flashlights you have. | ||
| It's still not going to be fun. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| There's a show that I've been watching lately. | ||
| It's called Mountain Men. | ||
| And it follows three different dudes, one in Alaska, one in Montana, and one in North Carolina. | ||
| And the guy in Alaska, man, this motherfucker is a trip. | ||
| This guy gets in a little float plane, and he takes off, and he flies three hours into the woods where there's no one. | ||
| And he gets there and goes to his cabin. | ||
| And when he goes to his cabin, then he has to take piece by piece his snowmobile. | ||
| He has to take the parts out and put them back together. | ||
| By the way, it's 30 below zero. | ||
| He has to put the parts in the daytime. | ||
| He has to put the parts on his snow machine together. | ||
| If there is a day, depending on what time you hear. | ||
| Yeah, and then he drives 24 miles on a snowmobile. | ||
| 24 miles to check his string of traps. | ||
| And that's what he does every day. | ||
| He did it every day for months, and he made $4,000. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| $4,000. | ||
| For doing, like, the hardest shit you've ever seen in your life. | ||
| This guy is, first of all, his trails will disappear because the snow will hit so fast. | ||
| By the time he tries to turn around and drive the trail back, you can't see what the fuck is going on. | ||
| So he hits logs and breaks his skis. | ||
| And he's like, if you get hurt out here, you're fucked. | ||
| Like, no, really? | ||
| You're three hours by plane into Alaska. | ||
| There's no one there. | ||
| No one. | ||
| And this fucking guy is driving around killing animals with these springy metal contraptions that snap their heads in. | ||
| And he takes their skins and sells them. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Whoa. | |
| It's a hard man. | ||
| Meanwhile, the dude seems happy as fuck. | ||
| That's the crazy thing about it. | ||
| The guy seems so happy. | ||
| He seems like he's having a great time. | ||
| And, you know, we were talking earlier about people who are on antidepressants, like what number of people are on antidepressants and how weird it is when you're around someone who's loopy on antidepressants. | ||
| And you're like, I wonder how much of our brain is just fucking designed to be a hunter and gatherer. | ||
| And despite the fact that we've evolved way, way past that societally, the physical body is slow as shit to catch up to technology. | ||
| Yeah, for sure. | ||
| I read a book by Bertrand Russell called Conquest of Happiness, and he was a preeminent kind of 19th or 20th century philosopher. | ||
| And in that book, he describes... | ||
| Like a gardener that they had. | ||
| And this gardener, he said, was one of the examples of the happiest people he's ever seen. | ||
| And he lived in a very affluent kind of British society. | ||
| And he said one of the reasons his keys to happiness was every day he went out and his job was to hunt rabbits. | ||
| Because the rabbits would tear up the gardens. | ||
| So that was his daily challenge that he got to do. | ||
| And every morning he woke up and he was like, those goddamn rabbits, I'm gonna fucking get them. | ||
| And that for him was all he needed to every day have that challenge and have the ability to meet it and feel like he was making a difference. | ||
| That's what made him happy. | ||
| So similar to your mountain man, He goes out and he goes after those animals and he has that challenge against nature, challenge to catch the animals, and then come back and get it. | ||
| And I think that makes him happy. | ||
| But these people who have these jobs that feel like they're completely meaningless, like what are you doing? | ||
| What are you creating? | ||
| It's monotonous. | ||
| It's the same day. | ||
| It's not a challenge anymore. | ||
| You're just clocking in. | ||
| I think that makes it even more difficult to maintain happiness. | ||
| Well, everybody can't have the perfect life, unfortunately, for a society to work like this. | ||
| The only way to have a gigantic society the way we have here is there's a lot of people who have to do shit that sucks. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They have to. | ||
| And you get talked into thinking that, you know, you're going to get out of college. | ||
| All you need is just get a good job and you're going to be fine. | ||
| No. | ||
| No, you're not going to be fine. | ||
| You're not going to be fine. | ||
| For eight hours, you're going to be in pain every day. | ||
| It's not a lot of pain, but it's a mild pain. | ||
| It's the kind of pain that makes you shoot up a post office if you absorb it for 30 years. | ||
| That's what it is. | ||
| It's just mild pain. | ||
| Especially when you make the releases illegal. | ||
| If you're going to be in that kind of situation, there's a lot of people that are. | ||
| Well, if you do, you better get out and fucking camp on the weekends and go find nature again. | ||
| Because that's part of what I think is another key. | ||
| Probably why your mountain man is so happy. | ||
| Because he's connecting with the natural world, which I think is another big key. | ||
| So you better go out and fucking camp on the weekends. | ||
| And every 6 to 12 months, You know, I believe that a psychedelic reset can be extremely valuable, can kind of purge all of these kind of negative emotions that you felt. | ||
| And then you can kind of go do your job and check out and live for other things. | ||
| Live for your girlfriend, for your workout that you have at the end of that. | ||
| Live to get out of that fucking job. | ||
| Or bust your ass. | ||
| Get one that doesn't suck. | ||
| Read Pressfield's Turning Pro or War of Art and get the fuck out. | ||
| That's why ocean towns are so happy. | ||
| Every time you go to an ocean town, it's always happy and positive and people are happy. | ||
| That's because they're humbled by nature. | ||
| Yeah, they see it every day. | ||
| You're humbled by nature. | ||
| Yeah, I agree with that. | ||
| Mountain towns are like that too. | ||
| They're nice people because they're humbled by nature. | ||
| It's a different kind of humbling, the mountain towns, because it's the cold weather, sort of button down the hatches. | ||
| Do you guys need help changing your flat? | ||
| That kind of happy. | ||
| But the ocean towns are always laid back. | ||
| Because you just look out at that ocean and go, shut up, bitch. | ||
| Can't nothing be important. | ||
| Look at this. | ||
| Look at this crazy puddle of water we're in front of. | ||
| I tell you, man, San Diego is there for Comic-Con, and you were also so beautiful. | ||
| I did that one bridge, that humongous bridge that kind of goes around where it's just super high up. | ||
| It's blue water. | ||
|
unidentified
|
San Diego shits on LA. Get those negative ions off the water. | |
| It's weird how the weed, you do feel that marijuana laws, or at least its tolerance, is completely different than what it is in Los Angeles. | ||
| Oh yeah, they have a really hard time putting up dispensers there. | ||
| They keep getting shut down. | ||
| And then the people that work the doors are all ex-military guys, so they enforce it more. | ||
| It's like you can see how it just spreads. | ||
| We could barely find a place to smoke a joint in San Diego near a comedy club. | ||
| At first, we were trying to go on the sidewalks and we got kicked off porches. | ||
| Yeah, it's a lot trickier than it is in LA. LA is so ridiculous right now. | ||
| It's like, folks who live in other parts of the world, you don't realize how suppressed you are. | ||
| You come to LA, and they keep talking about closing places down. | ||
| They target after the big places. | ||
| That's what they do. | ||
| They target after places like Oakstradam. | ||
| There's another place. | ||
| And the good thing about these big places is those guys generate enough money to fight it in court. | ||
| And so hopefully some good will come out of it. | ||
| But... | ||
| You have no idea how many there are. | ||
| You have no idea. | ||
| There's way more than there are Starbucks and McDonald's combined. | ||
| And when you hear the shit with the raids and stuff, if you look at the shit, like the why they got raided, it's because they were operating without a license. | ||
| Not all of them. | ||
| There's so many places that are just breaking the laws. | ||
| No, no. | ||
| That last one. | ||
| What Tommy Chong said is right. | ||
| The one in Long Beach where the cops stepped on the kid's neck. | ||
| That was fucked. | ||
| Yeah, they didn't have a license. | ||
| But the big ones they're getting, the DEA's going after them because they have a lot of cash. | ||
| That's one thing. | ||
| They're stealing their money. | ||
| They're going after them. | ||
| They take their pot and their money. | ||
| And good luck getting either one of them back. | ||
| And a year later, your pot's not worth anything anyway, stupid. | ||
| By the time you go through the legal bullshit, yeah, here's your pot. | ||
| By the way, most of it's probably already smoked. | ||
| The DEA probably smoked the shit out of your fucking weed. | ||
| They resold it and then reacquired it. | ||
| Well, Obama said that he was only going to go after people that were violating both state and federal law. | ||
| That's what they said at first, but they've since not lived up to that. | ||
| Because that Oaksterdam place wasn't violating state law. | ||
| They're just... | ||
| They gotta keep busy. | ||
| And it's an easy way to arrest people and not get shot. | ||
| Go try and raid the meth lab with such confidence. | ||
| You step into a fucking meth lab, dude. | ||
| You might get shanked. | ||
| There might be a dude hanging by his heels from the ceiling ready to drop on a cop because that's what he does because he's methed out all day and he's got a knife in his teeth. | ||
| Yeah, you don't want to do that. | ||
| Kicking in a meth lab is dangerous. | ||
| They'll throw a grenade at you and blow it up right in front of them. | ||
| They're fucking methed out. | ||
| They don't know what they're doing. | ||
| The cops, when they go and break out a medical marijuana store, it's like you might as well be arresting babies. | ||
| Nobody's fighting back. | ||
| Meanwhile, the cops are smashing the cameras and shit. | ||
| The whole thing's disgusting. | ||
| If this was a CVS pharmacy, right down the street, you would never think about doing that. | ||
| Meanwhile, those motherfuckers are dispensing Oxycontins on the regular. | ||
| People are coming in every day that are stone-cold opiate junkies. | ||
| And CVS is just keeping them alive, keeping them alive, and giving them bottles of pills. | ||
| And some of them they smash and snort, and some of them they smoke, and some of them they just take. | ||
| And meanwhile, the Manical Marijuana plays. | ||
| Get on the ground! | ||
| You have plants! | ||
| You guys have flowers! | ||
| I think the biggest problem is the reason why it's not already legal is you can't patent pot. | ||
| It's just too easy to grow. | ||
| Too many people could do it. | ||
| So they can't control it and they can't monetize it. | ||
| The corporations can't do it. | ||
| There's that for sure. | ||
| For sure. | ||
| I mean, there's no other... | ||
| You have to follow the money in all of these cases and there's just no other good reason. | ||
| Except, I guess, in some cases like Iboga and Ayahuasca, I mean, nobody's gonna do that shit for fun. | ||
| I mean, it sucks. | ||
| You're puking. | ||
| You're shitting. | ||
| You're like, it's a tough, tough experience. | ||
| It's like tomatoes. | ||
| Not everyone's growing tomatoes. | ||
| That's true too. | ||
| Even easy shit like tomatoes. | ||
| That shit's fast also. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Celery. | ||
| Grow some bamboo. | ||
| Grow your own bamboo. | ||
| Bamboo grows like a fucking inch a day. | ||
| It's constantly growing. | ||
| It grows fast as shit. | ||
| Nobody's growing bamboo. | ||
| Just make it cheaper. | ||
| It would be like being able to buy a pound for five bucks. | ||
| Well, the idea that you could be growing lettuce and I can come along and say, you can't grow lettuce. | ||
| If there was only two of us, that would be so ridiculous. | ||
| You're like, what the fuck are you talking about? | ||
| Get away from me. | ||
| I'm growing some lettuce. | ||
| If there was only two of us, it would be nuts. | ||
| But if there's 300 million of us, you can come up to me and say, you can't grow marijuana. | ||
| I'd be like, what are you talking about? | ||
| Why are you telling me what to do, ever? | ||
| Well, the only reason why it seems like you should be allowed to tell somebody what to do is when there's You represent some giant group of people. | ||
| Like, there's a bunch. | ||
| And so this bunch has decided they don't like you doing this. | ||
| And they haven't even decided it, by the way. | ||
| You know, it's like, what it is is a bunch of, a giant group of people who are making money from other things and are worried that you're gonna take away some of their profits with this plant that you want to grow. | ||
| So they go and they pay off the cops. | ||
| And they literally do. | ||
| They give them money. | ||
| And then they give politicians money. | ||
| They give it to them. | ||
| They give them millions of dollars. | ||
| And they say, we want to make sure that this position is supported. | ||
| And so they go out and they bust pot shops. | ||
| I mean, it's really that simple. | ||
| And even the male species of hemp, you know, we can't grow that. | ||
| I have to source our hemp for this new protein that we got from Canada. | ||
| And it comes in just the male species. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And it's, I mean, so easy to grow. | ||
| Sustainable for the soil. | ||
| You don't need pesticides. | ||
| The protein it produces is one of the most nutritious proteins for you at all. | ||
| The fibers you can use for clothes. | ||
| I mean, and it's illegal to fucking grow here. | ||
| It's incredible. | ||
| And it doesn't even fucking, it's not even psychoactive at all. | ||
| No, no. | ||
| It's illegal to grow a plant that doesn't even get you high because it's related to a plant that gets you high. | ||
| Yeah, that's food. | ||
| It's going to be even, I mean, you know, God forbid there's some kind of Hunger issue that comes from any kind of collapse or something like that. | ||
| But then you got a plant that's about the easiest motherfucker to grow that can feed people and clothe people. | ||
| And you're like, no, no, no, no. | ||
| We do not want that. | ||
| Because why? | ||
| Well, because its sister makes people high. | ||
| Makes people happy. | ||
| Meanwhile, they're selling Oxycontins by the truckload. | ||
| They got truck... | ||
| Passing each other on the highway. | ||
| Filled with Oxy's. | ||
| Everywhere you go. | ||
| Oxys, oxys. | ||
| What do you got there? | ||
| Nothing. | ||
| Just some pharmaceuticals. | ||
| I'm bringing a CVS. Go on your way. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Is that a roach in your fucking ashtray, boy? | |
| They'll pull you out and beat you if you have a roach in your ashtray, but they'll look at your papers and go, what do you got, enough Oxycontin in there to kill a fucking country? | ||
| I always thought it would be a good skit by some enterprising pioneer to take a cop out to a cow pasture and find a magic mushroom that's growing in the cow pasture and walk with the cop and just find the exact point where it becomes illegal. | ||
| To touch something that's growing out of the ground. | ||
| Just bring him, come up to it, come close to it. | ||
| Is this illegal? | ||
| Is this illegal? | ||
| And then just touch it with your finger. | ||
| If you pluck it, do I own this now? | ||
| And now I'm a prisoner. | ||
| Can you pet it? | ||
| At what point does he smack you in the face and handcuff you? | ||
| If you pick it up by the turd. | ||
| Yeah, if you hold the whole turd. | ||
| Yeah, I'm not even touching it. | ||
| I've got a shovel. | ||
| Shoveling the turd. | ||
| I mean, just to find out. | ||
| I mean, it gets so absurd at that point, you know, when this natural substance becomes illegal. | ||
| They were legal in England until really recently. | ||
| But it's probably because Americans went there and took too many mushrooms and freaked the fuck out and ran down the street. | ||
| It's like, alright, we gotta stop this shit. | ||
| Maybe, or they just had too many good ideas, who knows. | ||
| Yeah, well, hopefully that was the reason. | ||
| Yeah, but I guess, you know, there's some, the two promising fields, there's some pretty good research coming out. | ||
| Johns Hopkins had that one on psilocybin, that was good. | ||
| MAPS is doing some good work, some other people are doing good work, but then the Church of Santa Dime won a big case For ayahuasca as a medical, I mean as a religious sacrament. | ||
| So that's kind of another angle that's kind of allowing some of these medicines to get in through a loophole. | ||
| Because you're allowed, I know the Native American church already got peyote approved. | ||
| And then this Church of Santo Daime, or either them or the EDV, I don't know. | ||
| I think it's the EDV. The EDV that did it. | ||
| Both are trying. | ||
| I think one succeeded, one's in the works. | ||
| It's something de vegetal. | ||
| How does the EDV, what is it? | ||
| Does it break down? | ||
| Something de vegetal. | ||
| Something like that, yeah. | ||
| For folks who don't know, what these are is they're Christian groups that are from Brazil, and they combine Christianity with ayahuasca. | ||
| It's a very strange sort of offshoot of religion. | ||
| They take really high-level psychedelic drugs, and they sing songs about Jesus. | ||
| I have a friend who went and said, it is crazy. | ||
| He said... | ||
| There was a shaman down in the area that we were at who does that, who combines, who blends Christianity with the traditional jungle beliefs of ayahuasca. | ||
| So the beings that he's talking to, sometimes it's spirit of mother ayahuasca or whatever, and other times it's straight sweet baby Jesus that he's trying to talk to, and that actually throws some people off. | ||
| I definitely prefer my shaman to be straight jungle beliefs rather than a Christian. | ||
| Well, that really begs the question then, what's going on? | ||
| What's going on? | ||
| Is Jesus real or is everything you can imagine real? | ||
| And is your imagination concocting all this shit? | ||
| And is the imagination sort of being underestimated or downplayed or maybe mischaracterized? | ||
| You know, we look at the imagination as something that creates some bullshit, something that's not real, something that creates things that are imaginary. | ||
| You're making it up. | ||
| They don't exist. | ||
| But maybe it's much more complicated than that. | ||
| Maybe the imagination is a reality-creating frequency. | ||
| Maybe it's something that actually... | ||
| I mean, out of the imagination comes everything, right? | ||
| That's true. | ||
| This fucking computer didn't exist until somebody imagined it and then made it. | ||
| It also could be that these are really archetypal forces. | ||
| So, like, if you're talking about, you know, St. George or St. Michael or Jesus... | ||
| You're just basically giving a name to a spiritual force that has certain characteristics. | ||
| But you're also giving him a face, too. | ||
| Yeah, giving him a name and giving him a face. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| So what's happening there? | ||
| I think it might be all part of the translation mechanism. | ||
| It's communicating to you in the way that makes the most sense to you. | ||
| So let me get into the full story, because I've had some encounters with some entities. | ||
| Brian, do you have the music? | ||
| It might be kind of cool to cue this up so you can get a taste of what I was hearing as I was going through this. | ||
| And this is called, what are they called? | ||
| They're called the Icaros. | ||
| Icaros. | ||
| And these are passed down, grandfather to grandson. | ||
| And they're songs that they sing while the ayahuasca ceremony is going on? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| And they take the ayahuasca with you. | ||
| So they learn these songs while on ayahuasca, and they sing the songs while on ayahuasca. | ||
| And also smoking the nicotina rustica cigarettes, which is a different type of tobacco. | ||
| Yeah, why does tobacco play a part? | ||
| They'll blow tobacco in your face? | ||
| Yeah, that's kind of a cleansing ritual, the tobacco part, but I think it also has some effect on opening up the reactors in your brain. | ||
| So, it kind of activates the ayahuasca experience. | ||
| I could do a little bit more research on the science behind it, but I think the nicotine has Some similar effect to the DMT reactors. | ||
| It's amazing how many people are misinformed about nicotine. | ||
| Nicotine actually is good for you. | ||
| Nicotine is healthy for people who have bad hearts. | ||
| You could use it as a medication in some circumstances. | ||
| It's just smoking it with 590 other chemicals is not so fucking fantastic. | ||
| We're smoking it, period. | ||
| Naturally, when you're getting a bundle out of the jungle, I think it's a little different. | ||
| Yeah, and cigars are different, too. | ||
| So anyway, this guy's singing this thing. | ||
| You're tripping balls already. | ||
| So the first time, I had kind of a real physical purge. | ||
| Not too much to talk about. | ||
| I was nauseous the whole time. | ||
| I was puking and shitting. | ||
| It was more about my body getting prepared for the second session. | ||
| The second session, I doubled up on the cups. | ||
| It's about an hour and a half in. | ||
| And I'm listening as you're basically hearing what I'm hearing at this point in time. | ||
| The shaman's kind of rattling his leaves and singing his songs. | ||
| And then the experience starts to get rich, like it did the time before. | ||
| And what appears to me is like a nexus of energy right in front of me. | ||
| And unlike last time where things were coming at me, snakes and eels were just charging at me from all directions, this time it was subtler. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I felt like I was looking into like a black hole or a wormhole. | |
| What is that sound? | ||
| The whistling? | ||
| No, the background. | ||
| That's the, I don't know, the cricket type. | ||
| That's the insects in the jungle. | ||
| That's the insects in the jungle. | ||
| We're outside in the jungle, yeah. | ||
| I mean, this is the real jungle. | ||
| Dude, just that alone. | ||
| Yeah, no, it's true. | ||
| Somebody got a rattle? | ||
| I'm like, what is that? | ||
| Is that a rattle? | ||
| No, that's insects. | ||
| That's what Ohio sounds like at night. | ||
| I don't think Ohio sounds quite like the jungle sound. | ||
| No, those insects. | ||
| I'm sure. | ||
| I mean, there are some insects in Ohio. | ||
| There's some insects out here at night, too. | ||
| But not so much you can hear them on an mp3 player like that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, yeah. | |
| Oh, yeah, totally. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Really? | |
| Yeah, 100%. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Maybe. | |
| Something scarier about the jungle bugs. | ||
| Did you see anything like that? | ||
| No. | ||
| We did see a taper though as we were going through which is pretty cool. | ||
| One of those little anteater guys. | ||
| It appears to me as like a nexus and nothing much is happening. | ||
| The phone? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Is there a nexus phone? | ||
| A Google phone? | ||
| No, but it's like a vortex, let's say. | ||
| Like a vortex and it's kind of swirled with some different colors purple and it's just kind of waiting there for me. | ||
| So I was like, well, I guess maybe I should ask something to come through it because nothing really was happening. | ||
| So I'm looking and I was like, alright, I'd like to be, you know, if anything's out there on the other side, you know, please come to me. | ||
| And I say that to myself in my head. | ||
| And then bursting through comes this huge dragon. | ||
| Like this giant, the dragon head was just ten feet right in front of me. | ||
| And it was a silver dragon in the kind of medieval stylings, and it had fluorescent green and blue highlights, and smoke was coming out of his nose, and he was clearly a fire-breathing type of dragon. | ||
| And he comes right up to me, and he goes, So you want to change the world? | ||
| And I go, yes. | ||
| And he goes, why? | ||
| And he's like flaming coming out of his mouth. | ||
| And I was like, because that's what I'm here for. | ||
| And he goes, and laughs. | ||
| And for whatever reason, I decided to take him like never ending story. | ||
| And I just hopped on his back. | ||
| What? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So I hopped on his back. | ||
| And he starts cruising, you know. | ||
| And we're kind of cruising through, and he goes, so why do you want to change the world? | ||
| This sounds like a kids movie. | ||
| I know, that's right. | ||
| It was a fully never-ending story. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And I go, I go, to help people. | |
| And then I thought that was a pretty good answer. | ||
| And he goes, are you sure? | ||
| And then right there he like shows me a cross-section of my life and all my actions. | ||
| And what he showed me was is that even though ostensibly I do a lot of things to help people, there's always a serious component of propping myself up, my own ego, my own persona, my own kind of establishing my own self in the world for, you know, egoistic and pride reasons. | ||
| And he just showed me this, like, lucidly clear, you know, that there was a mixture of my actions, you know, and he wanted to... | ||
| As with all of us. | ||
| Yeah, and he wanted to have me be aware of where that boundary line lie and not to trick myself or confuse myself in thinking that, you know, what I was doing wasn't also for my own benefit. | ||
| I was like... | ||
| All right, dragon. | ||
| Like, one point for you. | ||
| So then we keep cruising, and he starts to really get heated in the mouth. | ||
| Like, flame was trickling out, and he goes, what do you want to destroy? | ||
| And he, like, swoops down, and I was sure he was ready to just fuck some shit up. | ||
| So I was like, ignorance! | ||
| And I thought he was just going to lay the ground with fire. | ||
| And instead he goes, shouldn't that be what you want to heal? | ||
|
unidentified
|
And I was like, yep, I guess you're right, dragon. | |
| So he was really challenging me in these answers that I gave him, which was a pretty interesting kind of experience for this other entity to be clearly showing me different sides and teaching me things that I clearly wasn't quite aware of. | ||
| Maybe you were. | ||
| Maybe you, somewhere in the back of your head, were aware of your shortcomings. | ||
| Not even shortcomings, just slight bullshitting. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| So he wanted to just carve away all that nonsense and then show me the rest. | ||
| So the dragon, I was still on his back, and he drops me off in the woods. | ||
| So he drops me off in the woods, and I'm walking through the woods. | ||
| Okay, so you, wait a minute. | ||
| How did you get to the woods, though? | ||
| I'm on the dragon's back. | ||
| Full never-ending story. | ||
| No, but are you really in the woods? | ||
| You're really in the woods. | ||
| I'm in the jungle, but whatever this... | ||
| How did you really get there, though? | ||
| I mean, you really didn't fly around in a fucking dragon. | ||
| Did you? | ||
| Well, in my mind, I did. | ||
| I was cruising on a dragon, and then all of a sudden, he drops me off, and I hop off. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| The details of how I got off the dragon into the woods are... | ||
| I wonder what was really going on while you... | ||
| What I have seen. | ||
| Are you on a dragon now? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm off the dragon. | |
| Dragon, let me off. | ||
| What would... | ||
| I wonder what I would see if I saw you doing that. | ||
| Would you just be walking? | ||
| And I'd be like, what are you doing? | ||
| It's probably sitting down. | ||
| Teaching me so much about myself. | ||
| I'm like, what fucking dragon are you talking about, man? | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| So anyway, I dismount from the dragon somehow, and I'm in the woods, and I see a bear. | ||
| And the bear has a big, giant crown. | ||
| This sounds like a terrible idea to be tripping your balls off the jungle. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| Wandering through the woods by yourself. | ||
| And I'm assuming it's nighttime, too, right? | ||
| Yeah, it's nighttime. | ||
| Well, I'm laid out. | ||
| This is all happening in my mind. | ||
| Okay, so you're not even moving. | ||
| I'm not even moving. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| No, I'm fully... | ||
| So you weren't actually in the woods? | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| Okay, good. | ||
| I'm on my back in the jungle in the physical world. | ||
| And then in my mind's eye, yeah. | ||
| Now I feel better. | ||
| My mind's eye, so I'm going to... | ||
| I thought you were saying you were walking around for real. | ||
| That's a little scary. | ||
| Yeah, that's a little scary. | ||
| So I get dropped in like a forest. | ||
| And it was like a woodsy forest, like a Colorado-type forest, different than the jungle. | ||
| And I see a bear, and the bear has a gold crown on its head and a bunch of gold chains all over it. | ||
| Mr. T-Bear. | ||
| Mr. T-Bear, exactly. | ||
| And the bear is kind of struggling, and I see kind of like a ghost of the bear, like the spirit of the bear, and it's trying to leave the bear's body. | ||
| It's trying to like venture out, but it's stuck. | ||
| And then the bear catches sight of me. | ||
| And that's another crazy thing about seeing these beings. | ||
| It's like the bear turns to look at me and notices me. | ||
| It's not like he was waiting for me there. | ||
| He's like, oh, here you are. | ||
| You just showed up. | ||
| So he turns to me and he goes, I remember. | ||
| Before this crown and all these chains when I was just a bear and I could run free in the woods. | ||
| And I was like, okay, okay, I get it. | ||
| And basically what he was trying to tell me was, is that, you know, don't ever let money and wealth or anything tie you down and like keep you from your freedom and expressing what your real nature is. | ||
| And it's really kind of like a Buddhist sentiment. | ||
| That's a difficult thing for people to do. | ||
| It sounds like such a noble task when you're poor. | ||
| The real problem is once you actually get money. | ||
| You know, one of the big things that happens to people when they get money is they're scared of not having money. | ||
| So they start doing things they think like... | ||
| Especially, I see this with comics, they start saying things they think people want to hear, or they start avoiding any sort of controversy that might get them in trouble, or moving away from anything that might be controversial because they want to keep this money coming in. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| You know, I got a career now. | ||
| I got to keep my career coming. | ||
| And the bear becomes no longer a bear in this analogy. | ||
| Yeah, the bear's got gold chains on it looking like a retard. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| Did this bear ask you for a picnic basket? | ||
| You might have. | ||
| It got real gay. | ||
| It did get real gay after that. | ||
| They tried to fuck you. | ||
| So at that point, like I... I don't know. | ||
| I somehow was able to like free the bear's spirit after he said that. | ||
| And we went like frolicking through the woods. | ||
| So he was your boy? | ||
| He was my boy after that. | ||
| So we like cruised around. | ||
| And then the final visitation from this being is I was cruising through the forest like hopping over logs. | ||
| It was very like Robin Hood cartoon style, you know. | ||
| Little John and Robin Hood through the forest type of program. | ||
| And then all of a sudden I see an eagle up in the sky. | ||
| And I raise my consciousness to the eagle. | ||
| It was really like a dream state. | ||
| So anything's possible. | ||
| So I just kind of float up to the eagle. | ||
| And the eagle looks at me. | ||
| And I'm cruising along. | ||
| And the eagle says, do you know how I see so well? | ||
| And I said, no. | ||
| He says, because I see through everybody else's eyes. | ||
| And I took a moment to sink in, and what he was showing me there was that all so often when we try and imagine what people are thinking or feeling, we have our own bias. | ||
| We don't actually truly see through their eyes. | ||
| Like, imagine what their fears and motivations and weaknesses. | ||
| Even the people that we don't like, we always see them with this kind of biased look, like, oh, that dude's a fucking idiot. | ||
| But if we really try to get into their eyes, you can learn something about that person and learn something about the world by actually dropping all of your kind of own ego and really assuming the eyes of whatever else you're trying to look at, whether it's an animal or a person or something like that. | ||
| I've tried that. | ||
| I've tried that with a lot of people. | ||
| I try that especially with people that I don't like. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I always try to figure out how they got that. | ||
| Especially once I had kids. | ||
| Once I had kids, then I started looking at people completely different because I looked at them as babies and became adults. | ||
| So I looked at this weird process. | ||
| I used to see someone who was weak. | ||
| I'm like, you fucking weak bitch. | ||
| What's wrong with you? | ||
| That's what I would think. | ||
| And now I look and I'm like, wow, what happened? | ||
| How'd you get to this spot where you don't have any courage or you don't have any whatever it is? | ||
| Or you hate or you're racist. | ||
| Whatever's broken on you. | ||
| How'd you get there? | ||
| And that's a really valuable way to do it. | ||
| And also, I'm sure for comedy, you have to put yourself into the laugher's eyes and consciousness to a certain degree too, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I don't know, man. | ||
| That I don't try to do. | ||
| I just try to do shit that I think is funny, and I hope they agree. | ||
| I mean, it's just too many people. | ||
| Too much of a different swath of people, yeah. | ||
| And too many people have their own take on what's funny and what's not. | ||
| It's like what happens when you get a television show, and then you get a whole slew of producers that have an opinion over what the character should be doing and what's funny and what's not funny. | ||
| Then it almost always goes to shit. | ||
| I mean, until one strong voice sort of takes over. | ||
| It's very hard to express your own sense of humor. | ||
| But try to express the sense of humor of a bunch of other fucking people. | ||
| A bunch of other random people, yeah. | ||
| Yeah, that makes sense. | ||
| But, you know, I guess so, for me, there was these three lessons from these three clearly... | ||
| Seemingly, you know, different entities. | ||
| And so, yeah, the question is, you know, were these part of my own consciousness teaching me these lessons? | ||
| Or were these... | ||
| Did they all have the same voice? | ||
| No. | ||
| The dragon was like... | ||
| They all sound the same. | ||
| The bear and the dragon were close. | ||
| But the dragon was really... | ||
| I couldn't even mimic that voice. | ||
| It was like that booming... | ||
| Like, you're too close to the festival speaker's bass kind of voice. | ||
| And the bear was just like a bear-man voice. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| And the eagle was a little bit more normal. | ||
| But yeah, similar voices. | ||
| If you had to fuck one of those animals, which one was it then? | ||
| I find that those themes reoccur with me over and over again just when I eat pot. | ||
| Those themes. | ||
| The themes of reality. | ||
| What's your real motivation when you're doing things? | ||
| What's your real experience with other people? | ||
| How much of disputes do you have with people? | ||
| How much of it is your fault? | ||
| So I would think that if you take a hallucinogen, I'm sure you have the same thoughts. | ||
| If you try to better yourself, if you're trying to move your life in a more positive direction, you're going to have the same sort of key stumbling roadblocks, I think, in the mind. | ||
| How much of my ego is holding me back? | ||
| How much of my perception of reality is distorted and that's holding me back? | ||
| Sure. | ||
| So you would think that a drug, if it was just something that would make you see Jesus or dragons, you know, that maybe that's what it is. | ||
| Like these themes. | ||
| And that it's spelled out to you because the drug thinks you're an idiot. | ||
| So it's like, show them a bear. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| It comes to you in a way that you can understand. | ||
| And we are idiots. | ||
| I don't mean that in any disrespectful way at all, but one of the things that I feel most certainly when I do DMT or something along those lines is that I'm a fucking idiot. | ||
| It's a humbling experience. | ||
| I was extremely humbled after those visitations. | ||
| Because you think that you got it all right, and then it shows you someone like the dragon comes along and just is like, nobody. | ||
| You were a little off. | ||
| So here's the truth, and now I come to terms with it. | ||
| You're like, oh shit. | ||
| You can't have it right. | ||
| It's part of being a human. | ||
| Like the Dalai Lama doesn't even get laid. | ||
| He doesn't have it right. | ||
| He doesn't have it right. | ||
| He doesn't fuck. | ||
| He doesn't get his dick sucked. | ||
| He doesn't get his balls played. | ||
| And that's why he's not an effective leader. | ||
| How are you fully going to trust somebody? | ||
| I don't think he eats meat either. | ||
| He can go fuck himself. | ||
| Do you think those crazy homeless people that are sitting there talking, having full-on conversations with dragons, do you think there's a big connection to actually feeling that and seeing that and opening your brain up to that guy? | ||
| It's a real good question, really, and you'd be disingenuous to not address it. | ||
| Because I think, what we said before, what's going on with those people in our medical idea, the medical community's version of it, is that there's an imbalance, a chemical imbalance, they have issues, they have whatever it is, they're psychotic, they're paranoid schizophrenic, whatever the diagnosis is, we're going out on a limb and saying there's some sort of chemicals that are out of whack there. | ||
| Well, the brain's just a soup of chemicals. | ||
| It's neurotransmitters, receivers, whatever the fuck the brain itself is, the neurons, all of it together, mushing around. | ||
| If one of those is out of whack, you know, and one of those is out of whack because you're crazy, or one of those is out of whack because you're at a hut in the fucking jungle, and you took some crazy shit, which is a soup of some roots that fucking... | ||
| Blow your neurotransmitter levels out of the water. | ||
| Like, this shit's coming out of your ears. | ||
| I mean, what's really happening there is that it might not be much different than what that guy's experiencing at the bus stop. | ||
| Well, I mean, the quality of content is certainly a little different. | ||
| Well, certainly, your brain, a healthy brain, can bring you back to baseline on a DMT flash in 15 minutes. | ||
| Ayahuasca is a little longer because it's absorbed by the stomach and so it's sort of a slower process. | ||
| What ayahuasca is is an orally active version of dimethyltryptamine, which is the most powerful psychedelic drug known to man, which is also produced by your own brain. | ||
| That's the weirdest part about it is that it's in all these different plants. | ||
| It's like in grass and all these fucking leaves and squirrels make it. | ||
| Yeah, sure. | ||
| It's everywhere. | ||
| Yeah, it is. | ||
| There's a small amount in everything. | ||
| The leaves that they choose in the jungle, they choose a leaf called chacruna, which is one of the strongest DMT-containing plants in the jungle. | ||
| But actually, there's other plants like the acacia plant from Australia, which has an even much higher DMT content than that. | ||
| And you can make an ayahuasca out of other different things. | ||
| Like you could use a Syrian rue and acacia to make a different ayahuasca-type rue. | ||
| Yeah, and you have a different experience. | ||
| And you have a different qualitative experience. | ||
| Well, that was one of the things they say about the idea of the psychedelic experience is that When you're taking it, you're taking in the experiences of all the other people who have also experienced a psychedelic drug. | ||
| And as you do mushrooms, you are actually contributing to the library of mushroom experiences. | ||
| Yeah, the collective unconscious of all of that. | ||
| It becomes the spirit of the mushroom or the spirit of the ayahuasca. | ||
| That's generally how they talk about it. | ||
| You know where else that acacia bush is? | ||
| In large quantities? | ||
| Israel. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| Oh, the burning bush. | ||
| And that's what they believe was the burning bush. | ||
| This is scholars believe this. | ||
| Legitimate guys who aren't even psychedelic scholars, because those are slippery scholars, those psychedelic scholars. | ||
| Some of them are a little sketchy. | ||
| But there's a recent thing where these guys from some major university in Jerusalem were talking about how they believe that Moses receiving the Ten Commandments from God and God taking the form of the burning bush was most likely a bush that contained psychedelic chemicals. | ||
| He's smoking the acacia bush. | ||
| Makes sense. | ||
| It totally makes sense. | ||
| So many of those mystical experiences make perfect sense, if you put it in that category. | ||
| Yeah, if you put them in a psychedelic drug perspective. | ||
| That is the most obvious one ever, though, okay? | ||
| It's a burning bush. | ||
| They're not calling it anything else. | ||
| It's a burning bush. | ||
| And it just so happens the acacia bush has the highest concentration of DMT. Of any plant in the world. | ||
| Yeah, and it grows all over the fucking place, right where this dude saw God. | ||
| You know, what bush do you think it was burning? | ||
| It was probably that bush. | ||
| I bet if you burned a bush and fucking got over it and sucked it all in, I bet you would see the same shit Moses sucked. | ||
| Especially if you were hungry, if you were walking around fasting, or doing whatever Moses was doing. | ||
| You were tripping your balls off anyway. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| I think a great many of the religious experiences that people have had can be connected to psychedelics, including Mayan art and Egyptian art. | ||
| Because one of the creepiest things that I've found is that, especially on mushrooms, I have seen a lot of Mayan things. | ||
| I've seen a lot of Mayan imagery and freshly painted Mayan hieroglyphs. | ||
| You see that sort of imagery and you wonder what came first, the chicken or the egg? | ||
| Because you know these motherfuckers were eating mushrooms like crazy. | ||
| I mean, they were living in the jungle where these things grow. | ||
| They look like dinner plates, if you've ever seen them. | ||
| And Mexico had one of the richest traditions of mushroom use. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| That's where Gordon Wasson first found out about it and all these different shamans in Mexico take people on these journeys to the spirit world using these fucking dinner plate sized mushrooms. | ||
| That's one interesting thing about the psychedelics that make it seem like it's not your mind. | ||
| Like someone can take ayahuasca. | ||
| Anywhere in the world. | ||
| The desert, the mountains, the city, whatever. | ||
| And they're almost always going to have similar visions of snakes and the jungle and these different beings. | ||
| Jaguars. | ||
| Jaguars. | ||
| Always goes back to the jungle. | ||
| You know, how is that possible if it's just solely being mind created? | ||
| It seems like that's where it gets weird. | ||
| And that's why even with these beings, like, you know, I was laughing with Mitch Schultz. | ||
| I was talking to him the other day. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And we're saying, you know, if the LeBron James of ayahuasca came along, he could go to these entities and figure out what they do when they're not teaching people shit, you know, if they're real. | ||
| Because whenever they appear, they're always trying to teach you something or tell you something. | ||
| Like, what are they doing? | ||
| Do they, like, hang out and play around, like, play board games? | ||
| Or, like, what do they do in their life? | ||
| Like, how do you get... | ||
| To that point where you can experience more than just taking a lesson. | ||
| And that would be the way to determine whether these are just ways that your mind is communicating with itself or whether these things have a life outside of this didactic purpose that they have. | ||
| It feels like you're popping your head into somewhere you're not supposed to be. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It does. | |
| That's what it always feels. | ||
| You're like, what am I doing here? | ||
| And they're like, what are you doing here? | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| Oh, you're back. | ||
| Oh, you're back. | ||
| It's weird that they communicate with you, and sometimes in sentences and words you've heard before. | ||
| It might be a delay in your inner conscious. | ||
| You know how you can, like, if you listen to your inner conscious talking, and imagine the drug just slows down your ability to receive your inner conscious voice. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It could. | |
| And so it sounds like it's somebody else, but it's really yourself in your inner conscious talking to yourself. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It could be. | |
| Yeah, it could be. | ||
| It could be a lot of different things, for sure. | ||
| You know, I think one of the first DMT trips that I had, one of the weirdest feelings about it all was that the idea of being connected to everything sounds like such fucking hippie bullshit. | ||
| It sounds like nonsense. | ||
| You know, to say, we are here, but we are connected to everything. | ||
| It's, I'm not feeling that, you know, I don't, I know that that might be real, but for whatever reason, I don't really feel that. | ||
| I don't feel the subatomic particles, I don't feel the atom, I don't feel the cell, I don't, I just feel me. | ||
| And I know that I'm breathing air, but I don't feel the fact that the air is connected to all these, it's all a soup of things. | ||
| But when you have the DMT experience, one of the things that it does is it strips... | ||
| Whatever you're experiencing while you're tripping your balls off, it strips away the physical presence of things. | ||
| And it's almost like the world of, you know, here's the ground, and here's the air, and here's a tree, and here's a building. | ||
| That world is replaced by a world where nothing has any matter. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Nothing has any physical matter, but everything is everywhere. | ||
| Everything is everywhere, and you're in the middle of it, and there's no ends, and there's no beginning, there's no roof, there's no floor. | ||
| It's just one thing. | ||
| It's all a part of one thing, and you're in there scrambling, trying to make sense of it, and these things come out of nowhere that are essentially constantly changing as you're watching them, so you're not even sure what the fuck it actually is. | ||
| Mm-hmm. | ||
| And, you know, it might be your own mind. | ||
| It might be your own mind trying to make sense of the whole thing. | ||
| And they're trying to give you information. | ||
| One of the things they try to tell you is to try to stop. | ||
| Don't freak out and try to suck it all in. | ||
| Try to take in as much as you can because you know this is crazy. | ||
| And they tell you they love you, too. | ||
| It's always a big thing. | ||
| Like, love you like... | ||
| One of the experiences that I had, they sang to me like a child. | ||
| They had this song. | ||
| I love you 600 million, 500,000 times. | ||
| Which is like how a kid would say something. | ||
| And then they would go, look at this! | ||
| And they would show me something fucking insane. | ||
| Something where you couldn't look at it. | ||
| It was too beautiful to look at. | ||
| And then it would say it again. | ||
| Like, I love you 600 million, 500 thousand times. | ||
| Look at this! | ||
| And every time it was, look at this. | ||
| I remember crying. | ||
| Because what I was looking at was too impossible. | ||
| Nothing could be that beautiful. | ||
| And every time they would say, look at this, it would get a million times more beautiful. | ||
| It was just taking my breath away. | ||
| I couldn't breathe. | ||
| It was very, very strange. | ||
| But it was very, very, very positive. | ||
| The experience all over was very positive. | ||
| And so much of it was like, dude, relax. | ||
| Relax. | ||
| This whole thing is, first of all, way beyond your control, way bigger than you think. | ||
| And it's going to be fine. | ||
| That was a big theme next year. | ||
| If anything that I learned from it, I learned that. | ||
| I think DMT made me a nicer person. | ||
| I think I learned how to chill out more. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| It's really valuable that way. | ||
| Actually, just speaking about what you were saying, so the third time I drank... | ||
| I didn't have any particularly crazy visions, but for three hours, the hut that I was in, everything else melted away, and I felt myself dissolve into the floor of the jungle. | ||
| The bugs and the worms were crawling through me. | ||
| It was like I was no longer a physical being. | ||
| And I was absolutely one with the jungle. | ||
| And I was asking, I was like, hey, does the dragon want to show up? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Does anybody want to come? | |
| But nobody wanted to come. | ||
| It was just like literally three hours just breathing with the jungle. | ||
| And I left that and I was like, it was just a really grounding and connecting experience. | ||
| But it was almost at that point, I think the message to me was like, you know, we're done teaching you silly little lessons. | ||
| Like, you know, take this, be grounded, be humble, be connected, and go off and do, you know, do your work. | ||
| Do what you need to do. | ||
| Ayahuasca's version of get it together, bitches. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| It was just really so peaceful. | ||
| But I remember, you know, all of the things that normally would creep me out, the creepy crawlers of the jungle. | ||
| You know, you look at the ground in the jungle and it's alive. | ||
| You know, there's ants moving. | ||
| All kinds of shit. | ||
| That was me. | ||
| That was in my body. | ||
| And I was just totally relaxed and disintegrated. | ||
| And that was a really kind of powerful medicinal effect. | ||
| The vine of thorns. | ||
| Sliding down a vine of thorns to your death. | ||
| Naked. | ||
| Naked. | ||
| That was the fucked up part. | ||
| I was like, why do I gotta be naked? | ||
| Like, why does it take my genitals first? | ||
| Like, for what reason? | ||
| And it's just shredding off. | ||
| Just shredding them. | ||
| How much pain were you in? | ||
| You don't feel the physical pain, but you have that kind of horror. | ||
| Yeah, the horror of your genitals being mutilated as you're sliding down a vine of thorns. | ||
| So it can get intense, but you've just got to remove yourself from that kind of angst and just witness and allow. | ||
| That's the mantra. | ||
| Anybody who's going through any of these experiences, just witness it and allow it to happen, whatever it may be. | ||
| But you know, the last experience I did was the Iboga experience. | ||
| And this one really kind of drew some counterpoints to those two experiences. | ||
| They're so wildly different. | ||
| And I think I touched on this last time because I was fresh from Iboga. | ||
| But Ayahuasca will show you some things that you have no fucking clue what it means. | ||
| Like one of the visions I had after the dragon, the bear, the eagle, is I was on this Viking ship and I was rowing through this sea, this moonlit sea. | ||
| You know, I'm like, all right, sweet, I'm on this ship. | ||
| I don't know what's going on. | ||
| And then all of a sudden the ship peels out and heads straight towards the moon. | ||
| So we're going straight towards this giant blue moon. | ||
| And this moonlight is like bathing me. | ||
| And then this purple orb comes drifting out of the moon. | ||
| And it's drifting towards me, drifting towards me. | ||
| And I open my mouth and I eat it. | ||
| And then I was like, wow, that was significant. | ||
| That must have done something. | ||
| But nothing happened. | ||
| I don't know what it was. | ||
| Tripping your balls off. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| That was it. | ||
| And then the whole time, even to this day, I mean, the best explanation I had was maybe it had something to do with like the feminine energy of the moon, but I don't fucking know. | ||
| I have no clue if that had any meaning at all, or if it was just some random trip. | ||
| Did you say the feminine energy of the moon? | ||
| Why would you think the moon would be feminine? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| I don't know. | ||
| That's what I'm saying. | ||
| I'm reaching for straws here. | ||
| Just reaching for straws. | ||
| Archetypally, it is feminine. | ||
| Everybody loves that feeling, that way of distinguishing things. | ||
| The feminine energy of the forest. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Who knows? | ||
| But that's the difference between a boga. | ||
| A boga will tell you. | ||
| It doesn't bother with the pictures of this strange moon and this purple orb. | ||
| It'll be like, yo, this is the truth, and it's in kind of your own voice. | ||
| But ayahuasca will give you things. | ||
| I mean, some things were very poignant and... | ||
| It taught me a lesson, like the things with the allies, but there's all these other visions that you're left like, what the fuck was that? | ||
| So it can be a challenge in some of that regard. | ||
| But the physical experience you feel, how connected you feel, how cleansed you feel, because afterwards, After that third session, he took one of his cigarettes, the nicotinia rustica cigarettes, and he blew it down my spine and on the top of my head and in different key parts. | ||
| I wasn't even that nauseous that whole time, the third time. | ||
| I felt very comfortable. | ||
| I got back to the room and just fucking lost it. | ||
| I felt like I was heaving some giant ball of something from the depths of my soul. | ||
| I don't know what was going on. | ||
| It hit my mouth so hard that I exploded vomit from my mouth and my nose. | ||
| And there's nothing worse than stomach acid and old ayahuasca blasting out of your nose at the same time. | ||
| And at the same time, my eyes are watery. | ||
| I can hardly see. | ||
| There's no electricity in the bathroom because they run the generator like three hours. | ||
| So then I have to turn around and blast some shit in the toilet too. | ||
| And it's like this brutal, savage cleanse. | ||
| And that somehow it seemed triggered by... | ||
| Whatever kind of cigarette cleansing thing he did the next day. | ||
| Because I saw him the next morning and he just had this big smile on his face. | ||
| And he asked me in his broken English and Spanish, you know, how was last night? | ||
| And I was like... | ||
| What the fuck, man? | ||
| He's like, tobacco. | ||
| And just nods and laughs and pats me on the back and keeps walking. | ||
| The tobacco makes you throw up and shit yourself? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I mean, whether the tobacco is a vehicle for some kind of trigger or whether it itself did something. | ||
| Whatever happened, I had the most intense purge that I've ever had in my life. | ||
| Like, savage. | ||
| And that was his intention while doing it. | ||
| Was it Minfo? | ||
| It does have a different style. | ||
| Maybe it wasn't tobacco, you know. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Maybe that was what he, like, quote-unquote tobacco. | |
| It was really some kind of poison. | ||
| It's roofied you, son. | ||
| But it was potent. | ||
| And that's something that, I think that's why they call it the master medicine. | ||
| Because you feel like you purge all of these different poisons from your body. | ||
| Jesus Christ. | ||
| It seems like you should be able to do that in America. | ||
| Yeah, absolutely. | ||
| So ridiculous. | ||
| You have to get on a canoe to do this. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| Go all the way to Peru. | ||
| You should be able to do it in Dallas. | ||
| You should be able to get a nice hotel, get a steak, go somewhere nice, a resort. | ||
| It's really preposterous. | ||
| To think that people would be abusing... | ||
| It's not fucking fun. | ||
| It's valuable. | ||
| It's medicine. | ||
| You do it with intention. | ||
| Nobody gets through it unscathed. | ||
| You're going to learn something. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's like, I've never heard of anybody that has had like a real deep psychedelic journey that didn't come back and go, well, I gotta fucking rethink everything. | ||
| I've never, I don't know anybody that has. | ||
| A real one. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You know, and if you don't, Jesus Christ, what fucking hope is there for you? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| You know? | ||
| Right. | ||
| You goddamn dullard. | ||
| If you're, you know, if you're able to do that in cities, if there was places where you could go, get your shit together... | ||
| We'd have way more people with their shit together. | ||
| Totally. | ||
| We really would. | ||
| It's the counterbalance. | ||
| It's like the way to counterbalance all of this, you know, living in an apartment and grinding and strip malls. | ||
| And doing shit you don't like. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| Doing shit you don't like. | ||
| Because it doesn't mean that everybody can't live the perfect life. | ||
| But guess what? | ||
| You're not everybody, okay? | ||
| The world's going to keep going as it always has with or without you. | ||
| It's going to be going. | ||
| There's too many. | ||
| You're not that important, okay? | ||
| So if that is the case, it is possible for you, you the individual, then again, this whole thing might be your imagination. | ||
| I might be a creation of your imagination. | ||
| As you hear this, I might not even exist, okay? | ||
| I might be here just to get these words into your mind so somehow or another you zig left when everybody wants you to zig right. | ||
| Maybe that's what it is. | ||
| Now that's that brain in a vat skeptical question. | ||
| I'm not real. | ||
| I'm not real. | ||
| You're real, Joe Rogan. | ||
| God damn it. | ||
| You're real. | ||
| I'm the influence for you to stray from the herd. | ||
| You know how there was an old debate. | ||
| That was a popular debate for a while amongst philosophers. | ||
| Are we real? | ||
| How do you know if we're real? | ||
| And there's a famous case where one philosopher, someone was going off on that. | ||
| You don't know that you're real. | ||
| You don't know that I'm real, whatever. | ||
| And he takes off his glove and he slaps the guy across the face. | ||
| It was like, was that real? | ||
| Maybe not. | ||
| He might have fucking needed that guy in his imaginary words, slap him in the face so he could get anything done. | ||
| That's the only way you can effectively combat that argument. | ||
| It's a weird idea, man. | ||
| I mean, you think about you're tripping your balls off on ayahuasca and certain people are seeing Jesus. | ||
| And then other people are seeing jaguars. | ||
| They're seeing things they're scared of or things that they revere. | ||
| I'm not convinced that the imagination only has the power to create things and then manifest them in the real world with actions. | ||
| It might have a secondary power. | ||
| It might have an actual power of creation. | ||
| I don't know what the fuck happens when you leave my house. | ||
| I'm pretty sure you get in your car and you go to your life and you go and do your thing and hang out with your girlfriend and get in your car and I'm pretty sure you do the same thing. | ||
| But I'm not positive. | ||
| I'm not really positive about any of this. | ||
| And I'm not positive that as you move in a certain direction that, you know, you're the same person every step of the way. | ||
| You're the same you. | ||
| There might be an infinite number of yous with every single decision you make branches off into another you and another way and another version and another reality and all these realities intertwine with each other and then we meet. | ||
| That's why sometimes when you run into someone, it's like, you've been on a path, and you've been on a journey, and this motherfucker has been on a different thing. | ||
| Not the same as you, less self-objective, less self-analytical, and maybe self-destructive. | ||
| And then you're around them, it's like, how did I ever hang out with you? | ||
| We live in a different world. | ||
| You kind of do. | ||
| Maybe you kind of do live in a different world. | ||
| Maybe the idea that time is this one flat, linear thing that we're all sort of living our lives in, in this one sort of band. | ||
| Maybe that's not real. | ||
| Maybe it's just like the DMT dimension. | ||
| Maybe it's just a fucking great big giant soup of potential universes that are constantly shifting. | ||
| And we just flip back and forth from one to the other and move through them. | ||
| Like a... | ||
| Yeah, it's so hard to say. | ||
| I mean, I particularly like the paradigm that the shamans have there, in which case they describe all of these different dimensions as the layers of an onion, and each person as a toothpick that pierces all the different layers of the onion. | ||
| And so that you're occupied in your consciousness on the first tangible layers, which encompass the first through the fourth, space and time, basically. | ||
| That's what you're conscious of. | ||
| And then the fifth part of the toothpick is you move up to another layer. | ||
| That's the dream state. | ||
| That's the collective consciousness. | ||
| And then the sixth and seventh dimensions, those have the disembodied non-human entities that you interact with. | ||
| Like the floats that I found were from the seventh. | ||
| They would call the dragon and these other things that you see, you know, the people singing you child songs. | ||
| Those are beings of the sixth dimension. | ||
| And then the eighth dimension is this kind of oversight dimension where you can actually manipulate all the dimensions beneath it and see everything. | ||
| It's like the highest vantage point where you can see the dimension of imminent possibility where you can basically do what you're saying with your imagination, believe things into reality from the eighth dimension. | ||
| Imagine things into reality. | ||
| Has anybody ever had an experience from the eighth dimension where they imagined some reality and then manifested it and then wrote about it? | ||
| This is where I got this idea. | ||
| Yeah, the shamans do. | ||
| And that's where they say they got the idea to create ayahuasca and they get these messages and these different herbal treatments and it's from these 8th dimension teachings that they have. | ||
| But again, I think there hasn't been enough of that, but it's because there's not enough fucking people who have the skills able to do that to also not only get there, but then communicate the idea to a mass market. | ||
| I mean, it's just such a limited swath of people who are able to access that dimension, A. And then B, to have that, to cross-section that with the amount of people who could then think of something, bring something back and express it, it starts to get really small numbers. | ||
| It's so funny how many people who are productive members of society, who are interested in personal growth, who are all disciplined, getting their shit done, would never consider doing drugs to further themselves. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They would never even consider the possibility. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It sounds like bullshit. | ||
| It sounds like an excuse to do drugs. | ||
| But really, the greatest leaps I've personally experienced have been after psychedelic trips, for sure. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| You know, I watched the Ray Kurzweil documentary, Transcendent Man. | ||
| Have you seen that one? | ||
| And it occurred to me, you know, he's always looking for these different technologies to answer some two basic questions. | ||
| One, he wants to conquer death. | ||
| And two, he wants to kind of revive his father's memory. | ||
| I mean, those are big overriding forces. | ||
| He also has a lot of altruistic goals, and he's an absolute genius, no doubt about it. | ||
| But he's overlooking some very basic technologies that have been around forever. | ||
| And these technologies are the psychedelics. | ||
| I really truly believe that you can look at those as a technology. | ||
| And the technology of ayahuasca can get him over his fear of death and show him that there is an eternal part of him and everybody that's going to extend past this meat sack that we're currently walking around in. | ||
| But he's ignoring that technology because he's bought into the lie that this is a drug and this is bad. | ||
| And the Iboga technology could get him direct access to the memories of his father. | ||
| So even if he wasn't really talking to his father, I haven't made up a decision as to whether you're actually accessing these people or just conversing with their memory, he's at least going to be able to access the memories that he's trying to bring back through technology. | ||
| He'll be able to access them, he'll be able to communicate with his father, and maybe have some cathartic peace. | ||
| from those from those experiences but because you know some body in their higher knowledge said oh these things are illegal in the United States where you know they're legal in different places but illegal here he's completely ignored those technologies and it's been you know something that's really sad for his life may be good for all of ours because he's been rabidly pushing forward other technologies to get there and so he's advanced humankind dramatically where maybe he wouldn't have if he had had access to these other things but It's really interesting how | ||
| a genius like that can be so focused on one area and then just ignore something that's so right there in front of them. | ||
| Been around for thousands of years. | ||
| Well, it's almost impossible to know everything about everything. | ||
| I mean, it is impossible to know everything about everything. | ||
| And, you know, a guy like that is obviously very driven and very successful, and he's a guy who works very hard. | ||
| He's a very no-nonsense sort of a guy. | ||
| And I think that guys like that, they look at drugs as being a way to derail yourself. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You know, it's a self-indulgent, sort of self-destructive activity. | ||
| Propaganda. | ||
| Yeah, poor fools. | ||
| Yeah, propaganda. | ||
| It's a bummer. | ||
| I actually had another thought. | ||
| This is kind of changing the subject a little bit, but I think I have my, I developed my own version of the singularity. | ||
| I think, you know, he has a very kind of technological kind of view of when that's going to happen, when man and machine become indistinguishable and I follow a lot of what he's saying. | ||
| I think that nanotechnology could eventually take over the immune responsibilities and the computational responsibilities that we currently have. | ||
| I'm fine with that. | ||
| But I don't believe that's really the singularity because I certainly do believe in an eternal part of us. | ||
| And I think that the real singularity is going to come when we advance to the stage where we can consciously take that eternal part And choose which body we want to be in, and whether we want to be in it or not. | ||
| So that whole death, you know, the myth of death, when we think we die and we think it's all over, it's really a transition. | ||
| When we transcend that, and we can just take our spirit and say, okay, I'm going to live in this body for a little while, and then okay, I'm done with that body. | ||
| I'll take my spirit and push it into another body. | ||
| And so that consciousness never experiences the memory loss, never experiences that lack of connectedness with everything else. | ||
| I think for me, That is the true singularity. | ||
| And I think that singularity would come when you really push the advances in this kind of psychedelic exploration. | ||
| I don't think that comes from technology. | ||
| Maybe we do have to extend our lives another 500 years to be able to get there. | ||
| And technology can help us extend our lives for 500 years or whatever. | ||
| But I think ultimately the big advances that are going to take us to that complete paradigm shifting level are going to come from, you know, manipulating molecules like DMT and how they interact with the brain and transcending and being able to master these altered extra states of consciousness. | ||
| I think that technology is sort of a psychedelic experience. | ||
| It's just a really slow-moving one. | ||
| What psychedelics do is they dissolve boundaries and they create the impossible in front of you and it's sort of humbling to the ego and provide you with a limitless source of information. | ||
| That's the internet. | ||
| The internet is psychedelic defined. | ||
| The internet is psychedelic. | ||
| It's not a big hallucination. | ||
| So we sort of mistake the concept of what is psychedelic. | ||
| But the technology for sure is changing everything and providing people with Things that to them will be a regular part of their everyday life, but just a hundred years ago were impossible and science fiction and insane. | ||
| And then it just becomes normal and you just get used to it. | ||
| If we stay alive for a million years, what is this going to look like? | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| It will look psychedelic. | ||
| It'll look like a goddamn DMT flash. | ||
| The world will look like something that we can't even wrap our heads around. | ||
| We all have Google goggles on And we're walking around reading each other's auras. | ||
| There's new scanners that they're introducing at the TSA that are going to be able to scan what you've had to eat that day. | ||
| Like literally, there'll be something like... | ||
| Is that for drug mules that are swallowing? | ||
| For everything, yes. | ||
| Cocaine balloons? | ||
| For not only that, they'll be able to tell if people are high. | ||
| They'll be able to tell if you're intoxicated, if you're drunk, if you're on pot, whatever. | ||
| They'll be able to scan your fucking molecule. | ||
|

|
What a fucking disaster! | |
| Oh yeah! | ||
| Well, that's what it is. | ||
| This lack of privacy is no longer a problem, but it's now a reality. | ||
| It's slowly changing from, you know, like, what are we going to do when the government can read your email, too? | ||
| Everyone's going to be able to read your email. | ||
| You know, there's not going to be any information that you can share, or that you can hide, rather. | ||
| It's going to get to a point where every thought that you ever have is able to be accessed. | ||
| It's going to be ones and zeros. | ||
| They're breaking the wall. | ||
| It's going to finally reach the convergence. | ||
| That's the real technological singularity, right? | ||
| The idea that we all converge. | ||
| Yeah, but not with some malicious bad parent running a fucking show. | ||
| Well, like we have right now. | ||
| Yeah, we've got to figure that out. | ||
| They have to catch the fuck up. | ||
| Because the only reason why they're a malicious parent is because they're ignorant. | ||
| They haven't had those experiences. | ||
| Which is why I've said before, you should never be a fucking president or any kind of leader unless you've had a massive psychedelic experience. | ||
| And people say that that's ridiculous. | ||
| I mean, to the uninitiated, me saying that is like, oh, that's Rogan being silly. | ||
| He's just talking nonsense, the fucking cage-fighting commentator. | ||
| He likes extreme shit. | ||
| No, rationally. | ||
| Who the fuck are you to try to change the world unless you haven't... | ||
| Improve the world. | ||
| You're going to keep playing the same stupid game. | ||
| See what the fucking dragon has to say about indefinite detention. | ||
| Wouldn't you love to see Barack Obama, just a fucking hut filled with Barack Obama, George Bush Jr., George Bush Sr., Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld, and they were all ayahuasca. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They would be puking out little fucking demons. | |
| I'd rather see them on ecstasy. | ||
| That'd be hilarious. | ||
| Yeah, but I'm actually... | ||
| I mean, they'll be nice to each other for a few hours. | ||
| It'd be awesome, isn't it? | ||
| And they'll have headaches and fucking nuke somebody for it. | ||
| Yeah, then the serotonin will deplete themselves and they'll be fucking more cranky than ever. | ||
| But if you got them on, like, a real session, a five or six session, month-long journey, just leave them out there. | ||
| At the end of it, how do you feel, Mr. Wolfowitz? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, just thinking about all the millions of deaths they've... | |
| They've caused that could have been avoided. | ||
| All the babies in Iraq with no legs. | ||
| They may not come back from the jungle. | ||
| They may feel like they just fucking can't come back. | ||
| They're going to go for a walk until a jaguar gets them. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| Sacrifice themselves. | ||
| Even a jaguar probably wouldn't get Dick Cheney. | ||
| Like, what am I going to do with this old motherfucker? | ||
| The Jaguars, they probably even want to eat people that are that old. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| This is poison. | ||
| Old cheeseburger-eating douchebag probably smells like ass. | ||
| Imagine how bad that smells to a Jaguar. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Couldn't be good. | ||
| On his second heart. | ||
| The Caymans would get him. | ||
| They don't give a fuck. | ||
| Caymans will eat anything. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| Yeah, they will, right? | ||
| Yeah, they're... | ||
| They don't get that big, though, do they? | ||
| Not too big. | ||
| How big is it? | ||
| They're not that scary. | ||
| They can get like 10 feet. | ||
| 10 feet? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| 10 feet can kill you. | ||
| 10 feet can kill you, but they're not that aggressive. | ||
| They're not like crocodiles. | ||
| Yeah, they're not like the crocs. | ||
| It's weird how parts of the world, like some parts just develop too much cattle. | ||
| They develop too many unulant animals, too many hooved animals, and they're like, all right. | ||
| Bring in the monsters. | ||
| The monsters have to chase down these 50 mile an hour running cows and kill these fucking things. | ||
| Everywhere you look that has too many cows, too many whatever it is, whether it's antelope or water buffalo, there's crocodiles, there's wildebeest, there's crocodiles, there's lions. | ||
| It's almost like nature goes, stop. | ||
| You fucking cunts. | ||
| You want to stop fucking and eating grass? | ||
| Alright, bring it in. | ||
| Send the monsters. | ||
| But in the Amazon, there's no cattle. | ||
| So they're like, yeah, little crocodiles. | ||
| Little ones. | ||
| Little caimans. | ||
| Snakes and shit. | ||
| Clean up the fish. | ||
| Snakes. | ||
| We don't have herds of cattle wandering through the rainforest that you have to minimize. | ||
| No. | ||
| You do get a very balanced sense. | ||
| Nature got it right there when you're in the jungle. | ||
| Every inch is covered in life and the life is all kind of working together. | ||
| It's a pretty cool feeling. | ||
| It's sad as fuck when you fly over the areas that have been chewed up. | ||
| We flew into Brazil and there's areas we fly over where you can see where they've chopped down big swaths of the rainforest And it's like wow that's no joke like that's a lot like they've cut a lot of fucking trees down man Yeah, and that rainforest is not growing back where they cut it down. | ||
| I mean, it's not it doesn't grow back there It doesn't it dries up and that's it. | ||
| It needs the more I mean, it's like a self-sustaining sort of an environment the rainforest is and And when you chop it down, it's not like it just builds back up. | ||
| That ground gets dry there because it's constantly exposed to the sun. | ||
| It changes everything. | ||
| It changes the whole ballgame. | ||
| It's really sad. | ||
| It's really kind of fucked up. | ||
| How many years would it take to grow all that back? | ||
| Eventually it would grow back. | ||
| Would it? | ||
| Seven. | ||
| Would it eventually? | ||
| I don't know if it would. | ||
| I think where the Nile Valley is used to be at one point in time a rainforest. | ||
| Yeah, it used to be lush. | ||
| Look at it now. | ||
| It didn't grow back. | ||
| It became fucking sand, a desert. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| Weather patterns might have had something to do with that. | ||
| I was watching a fucked up documentary on Neanderthals that may or may not be bullshit. | ||
| Seems like it's bullshit according to a lot of these science people have debunked it, but it's really cool. | ||
| It's too bad that it's bullshit because He wrote this thing about Neanderthals that we sort of, I think the word is anthropomorphize. | ||
| You sort of give animals human characteristics. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And he compares a human skull with a Neanderthal skull. | ||
| It's really fascinating. | ||
| That, first of all, you know, we see images of Neanderthals. | ||
| They always look like people. | ||
| Yeah, you think Geico cavemen. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Which is like Ari on a bad day. | ||
| But we're very different looking than Neanderthals. | ||
| Neanderthals have much larger eyes, and they're much higher on their head. | ||
| They're like where our forehead is. | ||
| It's weird. | ||
| They would look weird as fuck. | ||
| If you saw a Neanderthal in front of you, it wouldn't be like, oh, there's a dude that's on his way to the movies. | ||
| It'd be like, what the fuck is going on there? | ||
| And this guy made them out. | ||
| The other thing is that we always assume they have white skin. | ||
| And he made versions of them, like an artificial version of them, where they had black skin like a gorilla, and they were super muscular. | ||
| And his idea is that we were at war with Neanderthals until the intelligent humans figured out how to overcome them. | ||
| But look at one of the images this motherfucker put up. | ||
| Whoa. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He's like, they would have big slit eyes like a cat so they could see at night. | ||
| Their eyes were much larger than ours. | ||
| And they were using tools, and they were intelligent, and they probably hunted us. | ||
| It's like Avatar. | ||
| It looks fucking badass. | ||
| But apparently there's very little to support this guy's theories. | ||
| And he's most likely gone silly and went like super sensationalist with all this. | ||
| But it is kind of cool. | ||
| So Neanderthals was a terminal chain of its own in the evolutionary, like the branch that created Homo sapiens happened earlier, and then Neanderthals was some terminal node that died out, right? | ||
| Well, they didn't evolve from Neanderthals to anything else. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Well, see, I don't know. | ||
| It's all very sketchy. | ||
| But Neanderthals evolved in Europe. | ||
| Homo sapiens evolved in Africa. | ||
| That's what we know. | ||
| But we also know that a lot of people have a certain percentage of Neanderthals in them. | ||
| So we don't know what happened there, whether we fucked them or they fucked us. | ||
| Both. | ||
| Yeah, or both. | ||
| But if they looked like this, it would be pretty freaky. | ||
| If they really did look like giant evil gorillas. | ||
| How many people wanted to fuck the blue avatar chick? | ||
| I want to fuck that big crazy blue bitch. | ||
| Especially if you could be in that big blue body. | ||
| Being a dude's body. | ||
| She was sexy, man. | ||
| There was something about her. | ||
| She was. | ||
| The Na'vi. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| How many people got depressed after they saw that movie and wanted to live in the Avatar world? | ||
| You know how weird that is? | ||
| It was definitely idyllic. | ||
| But that was like a real issue with people. | ||
| They got Avatar to pressure. | ||
| We still long for that sort of noble hunter-gatherer existence. | ||
| We still long for that. | ||
| And the connectedness. | ||
| The sense of tribe. | ||
| We have no fucking sense of tribe anymore, really. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You know, we're so isolated. | ||
| This is as close as a tribe as we get. | ||
| Yeah, this is it. | ||
| A couple friends. | ||
| Yeah, we don't even live near each other. | ||
| He has to drive for fucking, I see him four days a week, he drives like an hour to get here. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| Imagine if you had to walk. | ||
| We're nowhere near our friends. | ||
| And that's so, you know, I think that's so important in so much of what's missing and allows people to get so fucking off. | ||
| I was just going, I was walking through a TV and I hate seeing local news shit. | ||
| And I talked about some dude who had his wife chained up and was beating her with a hot frying pan. | ||
| And I'm like, oh, I fucking hate hearing that because it makes me so mad. | ||
| But I'm thinking, if there was a tribe, if that meant... | ||
| Only exists because he was allowed to live out on a farm and nobody fucking checked on him. | ||
| But if you were in a tribe, that shit doesn't happen. | ||
| It's like, where's your wife? | ||
| I haven't seen her for 10 years. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And I hear fucking hissing and screaming from your hut. | |
| Oh, Jesus Christ. | ||
| There's some kind of... | ||
| The tribe would have taken care of that guy. | ||
| It would have been like, you are a fucking sick dog. | ||
| Go back to the source. | ||
| You're done. | ||
| You're done. | ||
| And that just doesn't happen. | ||
| There's no kind of... | ||
| And that's an extreme example. | ||
| I mean, easier examples are the people who are bummed out and depressed and can't talk to anybody or can't do anything or can't have that social contact. | ||
| I saw something else on the, I think it's disinfo.com site where this woman started a service where she's charging like $60 to snuggle for like an hour, you know, in like a New York or a city like that. | ||
| She's going to get raped. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It is. | ||
| But people are so fucking isolated from other human contact that it's seriously depressing them. | ||
| $60 to snuggle. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| $60 to snuggle. | ||
| No one's going to just want that snuggling. | ||
| Some people need it, man. | ||
| She's teasing. | ||
| If she's hot, I'd do it. | ||
| $60? | ||
| Of course you would do it, but you would try to fuck her. | ||
| Maybe you see this bullshit. | ||
| Maybe they're hookers. | ||
| They just start off with snuggling. | ||
| Make sure you're not a cop. | ||
| If you take a baby monkey away from the human contact of the mother monkey, if it can't hug up on it, they've done studies about that, and the monkey gets fucked up. | ||
| It's terrifying. | ||
| It's all fucking whacked out. | ||
| I think a certain amount of contact and interaction is what our species is made for. | ||
| Isn't it ironic that the larger the species group gets, the less contact it has with each other? | ||
| I mean, you would think that this 300 million of us, fuck, would be interacting with each other all day long, constantly, never get away from each other. | ||
| It's almost like technology is trying to bring us closer to a tribe. | ||
| Technology, by dissolving secrets and boundaries, is trying to bring this gigantic group back together again as one individual unit like a tribe. | ||
| But I think that... | ||
| There's a weird problem that we have with the fact that technology is just fucking taking off faster than our biology can catch up to. | ||
| I agree. | ||
| I think it's real hard for people to be happy in the reality of today's world because just physiologically... | ||
| Well, first of all, monogamy. | ||
| How many people struggle with monogamy? | ||
| How many people struggle with the idea of the responsibility of being a parent? | ||
| How many people struggle with the idea of the fact that you have to sustain some sort of a living and an existence? | ||
| It all seems like something you don't want to do. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But yet, this is what everybody's doing. | ||
| Everybody's getting the house and paying. | ||
| You got a 30-year commitment to pay the X amount a month and you got to work or they fucking take all your house away and everything you paid will go to nothing and you're fucking doomed. | ||
| I mean, if you look at the way a lot of people are forced to live this life, it's so completely and totally unnatural, but so completely and obviously designed to keep this machine moving in the same direction. | ||
| Because you keep this machine mass-producing technology, mass-producing innovation, and moving it faster and faster and further and further. | ||
| Ultimately, everybody's like a little worker bee trying to push their segment of technology further. | ||
| Yeah, but the consciousness is starting to reject it. | ||
| You're starting to see the casualties. | ||
| The casualties have been around for a long time. | ||
| And they fill those with antidepressants. | ||
| Yeah, keep them in the system. | ||
| Keep them going. | ||
| But at a certain point, people are going to get fucking fed up again. | ||
| And I think that's maybe what this whole change in consciousness that people are talking about. | ||
| I think that actually may be real. | ||
| I don't know if it has anything to do with what the Mayans were talking about. | ||
| But you can kind of sense something different is happening now. | ||
| Well, I think just the fact that we've been bombarded with truth for the past, you know, who knows how many years now. | ||
| We're constantly bombarded with reality and information. | ||
| And that's just such a strange time where there's no running from reality. | ||
| Whereas before, people could just sort of live in the dark or go super religious or, you know, they could block themselves off to giant chunks of what really, you know, makes the world tick. | ||
| You can't do that anymore. | ||
| Now people are becoming too empowered. | ||
| They're too filled with information, too aware. | ||
| You see how it's balancing itself out in the financial world. | ||
| People are going to jail like crazy now. | ||
| Lawsuits are coming down like crazy. | ||
| You can't hide information the way you used to. | ||
| That Bernie Madoff dude, that guy could have rocked that shit for 100 years back in 1910. He could have rocked that shit until the wheels fell off, and no one would have suspected it coming. | ||
| But in this world, in today's day and age, it's not that easy. | ||
| Yeah, it'll be interesting to see which way it goes. | ||
| I think there is a yearning. | ||
| Actually, I don't know if he could have rocked that shit in 1910. I think, I mean, they would have probably caught him either way. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't think that was a good analogy. | |
| I think there's a yearning to get back to that kind of community sense. | ||
| I mean, as you said, while you can connect with a massive amount of people online, I mean, so much of the interaction is... | ||
| Also pretty fucked up, too. | ||
| Cunt. | ||

Fucking loser. | |
| Kill yourself. | ||
| And it's not like interacting with the real person where you would never say that to another person because you would see them, A, even if you were stronger and could kick their ass, you would see them get sad and it would be like you'd feel bad, hopefully, unless you're just a fucking total monster. | ||
| But, you know, there's this check and balance of real interaction versus cyber interaction. | ||
| Yeah, social cues. | ||
| Yeah, feelings that you get from talking to people. | ||
| When you can just anonymously lash out at someone with no repercussions whatsoever. | ||
| Yeah, but have you been to the county fair? | ||
| That's all it's about. | ||
| You know, there are so many fucking people out there. | ||
| It's just stupid people. | ||
| The county fair? | ||
| Yeah, like if you go to a hometown Midwest county fair. | ||
| No, a lot of it is people just having fun, man. | ||
| There's going to be a few dickheads. | ||
| But whenever you get large gatherings of people, there's always a few dickheads. | ||
| But that's not most of the people. | ||
| Go to the county fair in Ohio. | ||
| Is Ohio a different world? | ||
| It's totally a different world than Los Angeles. | ||
| But how is it a different world as far as the county fair? | ||
| It's just... | ||
| Just go there, I guess. | ||
| It's just awful. | ||
| I've been to a few rodeos and they're pretty friendly people. | ||
| What are you experiencing? | ||
| Just the dumbness. | ||
| The caveman type species that lives in certain areas of the United States. | ||
| So Ohio is mostly idiots, is that what you're saying? | ||
| There's a lot of them. | ||
| There's a lot of them. | ||
| So when you go to a state fair in Ohio, you think you're just seeing a lot of it? | ||
| Because, I mean, there might be Columbus, there might be Cleveland, and there might be Cincinnati, but there's a whole lot of other space around those areas that you're like, who lives here? | ||
| I think the majority, at least 80% of them are cool. | ||
| I think you're dealing with a small group of loud people that become a problem almost everywhere. | ||
| And a lot of them are fucking probably shitty jobs and alcoholics and hate their life and What I'm saying, though, is that if you see these people that are just idiots and retarded online that are just yelling out cunt, fuck, blah, blah, those are the same people that you see, you know, the worst of the worst. | ||
| You see those people in real life, too. | ||
| You just never see them because we're here in Los Angeles. | ||
| Well, not just that, because you avoid them because you've got a good social circle. | ||
| You know where to go and where not to go, and every now and then it crosses over and you wind up hanging out with some morons or getting stuck with some morons. | ||
| That's why I fucking wish that the states had full autonomy, because I think you would start to actually, at that point where federal government could give up, the states could make cool enough laws and have a cool enough system built together. | ||
| Kick cunts out? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Well, it just, they would, you know, people would be attracted, the right kind of people, you know? | ||
|
unidentified
|
That would be awesome. | |
| If a state could be like a message board of people, we could just ban people in real lives, like they can't get close to. | ||
| The sense of tribe, I think, would come back. | ||
| There'd be a unity between the governing body and the people, and they would be like, I fucking love my state. | ||
| Not just from some strange patriotic pride, like, yeah, you don't mess with Texas or whatever else. | ||
| Well, I think eventually you're going to be able to walk up to someone and mouse over them. | ||
| You'll be able to put your cursor over them, and you'll be able to read all their information. | ||
| Except people will be lying motherfuckers with their cursors. | ||
| Hopefully we'll have Yelp for people, and you'll be able to say, Oh, Aubrey has five stars. | ||
| He's a really cool guy. | ||
| We could take him anywhere. | ||
| And California's only letting five-star people in. | ||
| If you're a douchebag, you can't go. | ||
| And this guy shows up. | ||
| Oh, I'm a fucking good Christian. | ||
| I'm a good guy. | ||
| As long as you're not gay and trying to get married. | ||
| And you see he's got two stars. | ||
| There's people on Yelp that, I don't know how they got on there, but there's people on Yelp and there are people revealing people as if they were a business. | ||
| Oh, really? | ||
| But there's people on there. | ||
| Oh, that's funny. | ||
| I haven't checked to see if I was on there. | ||
| Well, you should be able to review the person that's reviewing and if the person reviewing only has two stars, their review shouldn't count. | ||
| Shouldn't count. | ||
| Like, well, she's a cunt. | ||
| Look, of course she hates me. | ||
| She hates herself. | ||
| She hates everybody. | ||
| Speaking of hate... | ||
| Somehow everybody would just fucking cheat that system. | ||
| Do you know this Daniel Tosh situation? | ||
| Do you know what happened with Daniel Tosh? | ||
| Yeah, we talked about it. | ||
| Yeah, we didn't talk about this. | ||
| And this is what's hilarious. | ||
| This woman wrote a blog about this. | ||
| Is this Tosh 2.0 or whatever? | ||
| That guy? | ||
| Yeah, he's getting in trouble for this. | ||
| He's forced to apologize to this asshole. | ||
| And this woman wrote a blog about it. | ||
| A completely delusional blog, by the way. | ||
| He's asking... | ||
| This is what Daniel Tosh did. | ||
| He asked... | ||
| He asked... | ||
| What is this? | ||
| She said, oh, I would find out this is Daniel Tosh. | ||
| At the time, I thought he was just some yahoo who somehow got a gig on after Cook. | ||
| I honestly thought he was an amateur because he didn't seem that comfortable on stage and seemed to have really awkward presence. | ||
| Fucking useless. | ||
| Fucking idiot. | ||
| Writing a blog. | ||
| Anybody can write a blog. | ||
| So this dummy. | ||
| Tosh is asking people to throw out questions. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Mm-hmm. | |
| So they're throwing out, you know, what should I talk about? | ||
| And someone says rape. | ||
| And he goes, oh yeah, rape, that's really funny. | ||
| Yeah, what's funny about that? | ||
| The humiliation, the violence. | ||
| You know, he's like saying, ranting on things, the reason why rape isn't funny. | ||
| And so some woman yells out, Actually, rape jokes are never funny. | ||
| This dumb cunt that wrote this blog yells this out. | ||
| So he says, wouldn't it be funny if you got raped by like five people right now? | ||
| Which is really funny. | ||
| He doesn't really mean that. | ||
| What he's trying to do is, he's riffing and you're interrupting with some self-righteous horse shit. | ||
| Oh, you're saying that rape is bad? | ||
| Is that what you're saying? | ||
| Oh, Jesus! | ||
| You're at a fucking comedy club, you asshole! | ||
| And this woman writes this. | ||
| She writes this whole fucking rambling, self-serving article about this. | ||
| And now, because of that, he had to apologize for her. | ||
| Because he joked around about rape. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep, that's raper. | |
| Well, she's going to get her mind raped by the internet, I'm sure, because it's so beyond stupid. | ||
| You know, and she's like, we were shocked. | ||
| We couldn't believe it. | ||
| I demanded to speak to the manager. | ||
| He demanded to speak to the manager. | ||
| This is what I said. | ||
| We talked about in the Ice House Chronicles. | ||
| She should be fired from ever going to a comedy club again. | ||
| They should take a picture of her, and every comedy club in the country should agree that this fucking dummy is no longer allowed to go to comedy clubs. | ||
| Put a picture of her. | ||
| You're not allowed. | ||
| She comes to the door. | ||
| Blow your rape whistle. | ||
| It's an agreement when you go to those places to just leave that shit behind. | ||
| Go there to laugh. | ||
| Go there to laugh at the taboos that you think are so sacred that you can't even touch them. | ||
| Things that you're afraid of. | ||
| Things that your fears. | ||
| Death. | ||
| Any of this stuff. | ||
| You go there, you laugh. | ||
| You talk about it. | ||
| It becomes less serious after that. | ||
| I feel more bad for Dane Cook, who has this as a fan. | ||
| Poor guy. | ||
| Can you imagine this being one of your fans? | ||
| Well, apparently, Dane Cook, Burt Kreischer was just joking around and said, Dane Cook is going to live tweet while my show is on. | ||
| You know, just joking around. | ||
| And Dane got so much fucking hate mail, like hate tweets right away, and then Burt Kreischer started reading them. | ||
| There's a lot of fucking people that hate Dane Cook. | ||
| There's a lot of negativity attached to being that dude. | ||
| And he just got bummed out and told Bert to please leave him out of this whole thing. | ||
| Oh, really? | ||
| That sucks. | ||
| Yeah, you tweet about him yesterday, whenever Bert's show aired. | ||
| Yeah, if you tweet about Dane, for a certain number of people, that's a free shot. | ||
| You're allowed to attack Dane Cook. | ||
| It's like Minstelia. | ||
| Mencia, that poor fuck, he's a fucking duck with concentric circles of varying colors, red, white. | ||
| He's a duck with a target on him. | ||
| I mean, that's what he is. | ||
| But he built his karma, right? | ||
| I haven't heard anything that Dane did to build his karma. | ||
| Everyone tweet Dane Cook that he has beautiful lips. | ||
| Everyone tweet Dane Cook that he's a big sweetie. | ||
| He's a big cutie, McCuterson. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's funny. | ||
| That sucks, man. | ||
| You know, Twitter is pretty fucked up, how that shit can turn on you and just ruin your whole entire day. | ||
| Well, what's fucked up is that, you know, anybody can sort of be anonymous and, you know, call yourself. | ||
| I mean, there's a lot of pictures on Twitter of fake accounts where it's like a hot chick in a bikini. | ||
| And like, please follow me. | ||
| I'm a big fan. | ||
| And like, you look at her profile, and it's her repeating that over and over again. | ||
| They're like a business. | ||
| And they'll do that and they'll say, oh my god, I just entered into this amazing contest for a free jet ski or whatever the fuck it is. | ||
| Yeah, sure. | ||
| There's a bunch of people that run, like there's this one dude that I know that runs thousands of fake Twitter accounts. | ||
| And when he wants to spam something out, he spams the same message on every single Twitter account. | ||
| This is why I found it out. | ||
| I went to his because I knew that he was scamming people. | ||
| So I went to his Twitter account and I said, let me look at his tweets. | ||
| And then I looked at some of his tweets were responding to people. | ||
| So I was like, well, what is he responding to? | ||
| And then I would go to the responding page. | ||
| He's responding to himself. | ||
| He's writing the same shit on all these different pages. | ||
| They all have the same message. | ||
| And then I followed the chain a few dozen times until I gave up. | ||
| But I just kept finding people, and I'd go to the other one, and it was the same thing. | ||
| It was the same messages, all the same tweets. | ||
| And I was like, I wonder how he has this automated. | ||
| It's a program. | ||
| Is it? | ||
|
unidentified
|
You think so? | |
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| That's how spammers use it. | ||
| When you say certain things, like if you say MagnaBox or whatever, you say Toshiba. | ||
| You'll suddenly get like, best Toshiba prices in town. | ||
| Click here for more information. | ||
| Spam from Twitter? | ||
| They'll do that? | ||
| Yeah, there's robots that just sit there and look for certain keywords in the timelines and stuff like that. | ||
| Did you hear about the biggest Russian spammer from a few years back? | ||
| There's this huge Russian spammer and Russia told him he was somehow operating within some basic rules so they couldn't go after him legally. | ||
| So they kept telling him to stop. | ||
| And he was like, ah, fuck you guys. | ||
| Fuck you guys. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Whatever. | |
| He's making a shitload of money. | ||
| They found him beaten to death with a computer. | ||
| Oh my god. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You can look that up. | ||
| But I was like, alright, motherfucker. | ||
| You forget where you're from. | ||
| We're in fucking Russia here. | ||
| Don't tell me fuck you. | ||
| We tell you to stop. | ||
| You can't say fuck you in Russia. | ||
| You better hide, bitch. | ||
| Beaten to death with his computer. | ||
| They have totally different rules over there for how they deal with shit. | ||
| You can't just get away with stuff like that. | ||
| I wonder how they deal with hecklers. | ||
| I mean, do they have Russian stand-up comedy? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Probably harshly. | ||
| I had a funny story. | ||
| A stripper was telling me about... | ||
| She had some Russian stripper friends who she was stripping with. | ||
| And some girl... | ||
| Something whack happened. | ||
| She got in trouble for giving a handjob on the floor of the... | ||
| Strip club or something like that. | ||
| So she's bawling in the room and the Russian stripper goes up the door and goes, you want to cry? | ||
| You fucking cry alone! | ||
| Get out of here! | ||
| Like, that's just the fucking, that's just the Russian way, you know? | ||
| It's like, you fucking get your shit together. | ||
| They're hard. | ||
| Hard bitches. | ||
| I give three handjobs at the same time, one with foot. | ||
| Stop crying. | ||
| And then I send money home to Mother Russia. | ||
| Yeah, there's parts of the world that are cold and dark, dude. | ||
| Living over there. | ||
| That's why I have a few friends that have dated Russian chicks. | ||
| And I always feel like they're getting swindled. | ||
| I always feel like something weird's going on. | ||
| Like there's something mercenary happening here. | ||
| They're so funny. | ||
| I know a guy who's Russian, who's gay for pay, and his boyfriend, he's straight, but he's this Russian guy. | ||
| And his boyfriend is this rich gay guy. | ||
| And this rich gay guy buys him nice cars, puts him up in a fat apartment. | ||
| I mean, really takes care of this guy. | ||
| And it's so that he has sex with him. | ||
| I don't know what they do. | ||
| They blowjobs or whatever. | ||
| I don't know how he rocks it, but the guy's straight. | ||
| And when I found out about him, I'm like, damn, that motherfucker's like a Russian whore. | ||
| He's like a mercenary dude that's willing to suck this old guy's dick. | ||
| You get the feeling that there's some kind of harshness of life in Russia. | ||
| Even when you used to see Fedor fight, just the kind of calmness that he came out there when his imposing physical violence is about to come. | ||
| It's like, whatever he's been through... | ||
| So much fucking scarier than the giant that he's about to fight on the other side of the ring. | ||
| You get that feeling from everybody. | ||
| Not everybody, but a lot of the people over there. | ||
| Life is so harsh that what you think would be intimidating is just, I don't give a fuck. | ||
| Yeah, they're not really that concerned with fights. | ||
| Just a fight? | ||
| Okay, let's do it. | ||
| Easy. | ||
| Did you see his last fight with Pedro Hizzo? | ||
| I didn't. | ||
| No, I missed that one. | ||
| Dude. | ||
| It was brutal. | ||
| It was brutal. | ||
| It's almost too bad that he's retiring now because his stand-up, since he started going to Holland, his stand-up has really improved a lot. | ||
| It got a lot better. | ||
| He threw some pretty high-level shit at Pedro Hizzo. | ||
| First of all, you had Pedro staggered just from the speed. | ||
| He's really fast for a heavyweight. | ||
| Because he's not a big heavyweight. | ||
| He's like 230, but with a high percentage of body fat. | ||
| Mm-hmm. | ||
| If you had him lean, he would probably be about 205, something like that. | ||
| And so he moves like a 205 pounder. | ||
| I mean, a really fast 205 pounder. | ||
| His brother was fast as fuck, too. | ||
| Good hands, too. | ||
| His brother's a lot bigger, though. | ||
| But he lit Pedro Hizzo up, man. | ||
| He hit him with a leg kick, and then he faked the leg kick and threw like a Superman hook and cracked him on the jaw and then just unloaded on him on the ground. | ||
| It's hard to watch, man, because Pedro Hizzo is one of those dudes that's been around for a long time. | ||
| If you watched a highlight reel of all the times Pedro Hizzo's had his life turned out, it's really hard to watch. | ||
| You know, the Gilbert Iovil fight, the Josh Barnett fight, there's a lot of fights over and over again where Pedro Hizzo's been really hit hard, really scary knockouts. | ||
| I mean, how many can a man endure? | ||
| That's where it begs the question. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I think a lot of money and a lot of science is trying to figure that out with these concussions that they're trying to explore. | ||
| If they can figure out how to fix that, that'll change the prize-fighting world totally. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| People don't have to worry about brain damage anymore. | ||
| If they can just sort of stick a needle inside your ear and inject some stem cells and your brain rejuvenates itself. | ||
| People would just do extra shots, though, to get smarter. | ||
| They'd be like, fuck alpha brain. | ||
| I'm going to take a chance on overgrowing my head. | ||
| But what if that backfired and turned autistic or something? | ||
| It'd be a little scary. | ||
| I wonder if they're going to be able to eventually figure out a way to regenerate brain cells because that's a real issue with people with head trauma. | ||
| It's just big parts of your brain just are not the same anymore after massive concussions, especially if you've had multiple concussions. | ||
| And like football players and especially fighters in training, that's the big one. | ||
| There's a guy who died recently in an unregulated MMA fight and he got triangled and tapped from the triangle and was no head trauma at all in the fight. | ||
| Went back to his locker room and was watching some fights and then someone heard some moaning and they looked over and he had collapsed. | ||
| And he wound up dying. | ||
| And they brought him to the hospital and when they did an autopsy on him that he found it was blunt force trauma from about a week ago. | ||
| Mm-hmm. | ||
| So it's something that he had sustained. | ||
| I'm pretty sure that's what they had decided. | ||
| It wasn't from the fight. | ||
| They were pointing to something that had happened in training like a week before. | ||
| And then the adrenaline, dehydration, a little bit of a blood restriction from the triangle. | ||
| When Travis Luter fought Marvin Eastman, Marvin Eastman had gotten knocked out twice in training. | ||
| He got KO'd twice in training. | ||
| And so when Travis connected with him, it wasn't even like the hardest punch in the world. | ||
| It was weird. | ||
| He caught him on the end of a punch, and Marvin just went completely unconscious, like instantly. | ||
| It was like, whoa, it's one of those weird ones. | ||
| Like, what's going on there? | ||
| Same thing with Forrest Griffin when he fought Anderson Silva. | ||
| He had been knocked out twice in training, too. | ||
| Those guys are crazy. | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| You're getting KO'd twice and then you're going to get KO'd again. | ||
| But you sign up for a fight. | ||
| You sign up. | ||
| This is what you're supposed to be doing. | ||
| If you get KO'd in training, man, that's just tough shit. | ||
| You just suck it up and you get out there and fight. | ||
| It's a fine line between having to believe that you're going to win no matter what and then also being realistic and being like, yeah, I should probably bail on this. | ||
| Well, very few guys know when to bail. | ||
| That's the hardest part. | ||
| The hardest part is knowing when to walk away. | ||
| And everybody wants to walk away with a win. | ||
| The hardest part is figuring out what the fuck to do with your life next. | ||
| Because when a guy is trying to be a fighter, he really doesn't have a whole lot of options. | ||
| I mean, you're doing one thing. | ||
| And while you're doing that one thing, that's all you can concentrate on. | ||
| It's going to be your whole life, period. | ||
| And then all of a sudden, it's not your life anymore. | ||
| Now you've got to find something else. | ||
| You've also got to match that excitement level. | ||
| I mean, how are you going to do that? | ||
| This is the most amazing spectacle on the earth. | ||
| You versus another man while millions watch. | ||
| And the triumph and all those emotions. | ||
| I mean, you'll never be able to duplicate that. | ||
| Yeah, it's almost impossible unless you become like some crazy downhill skier dudes where they drop you off a helicopter. | ||
| Those guys are out of their fucking minds. | ||
| How long ago did you do this recent trip? | ||
| Was it months ago or weeks ago? | ||
| It was like two weeks ago. | ||
| Yeah, I talked to Bob about it already. | ||
| Yeah, they don't have it up yet, so they were asking me. | ||
| Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Oh, I'll just tell you folks. | ||
| We're doing a show Wednesday night. | ||
| Nice house. | ||
| 10 p.m. | ||
| Main room. | ||
| Big room. | ||
| Tickets will be on the website. | ||
| Probably Ari. | ||
| Does Ari have anything Wednesday night? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Definitely me and definitely Brian. | ||
| We're going to be in Calgary this week, too. | ||
| Not me. | ||
| Not you. | ||
| Brian doesn't. | ||
| I don't go to Canada. | ||
| You never take me to Canada. | ||
| Do you want to come to Canada? | ||
| Fuck yeah, Vancouver. | ||
| All right, fella. | ||
| Next time I go to Vancouver, you're coming. | ||
| But we're doing the Jack Singer Concert Hall in Calgary. | ||
| And the first show sold out, but we're doing a second show. | ||
| And that's almost sold out. | ||
| But some tickets are available for the second show. | ||
| It's me, Duncan Trussell, and Ari Shafir. | ||
| And that's this Friday night. | ||
| So it's about as close to Death Squad as you can get without Joey Diaz and Brian. | ||
| But Joey Diaz is not going to make it to Canada. | ||
| Canada has very strict laws about criminals. | ||
| And when you got kidnapping with firearms, yeah. | ||
| They're like, I know it was a long time ago, Joey. | ||
| He's like, listen, I'm a different guy now. | ||
| I got 11 cats. | ||
| Come on. | ||
| They won't let him in. | ||
| So I'm sorry. | ||
| I'm sorry, Canada. | ||
| I can't bring Joey Diaz. | ||
| But you can always sneak in and hang out with us. | ||
| We're at the Ice House all the time. | ||
| We've had a bunch of Canadians and English people and people from all over the world come down and hang out at the Ice House, which is really cool because the Ice House is one of the oldest clubs in the country. | ||
| It started in 1951. I mean, it's... | ||
| Was that right? | ||
| 51 or 61? | ||
| It's been 50 years, so I don't know. | ||
| So that's not even... | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Whatever it is. | ||
| I think it started off in the 50s, and then in the 60s, it became a comedy club. | ||
| I think it was something else before that, like some sort of a jazz club or something stupid. | ||
| But either way, it's an amazing old club that's run by some really cool people. | ||
| They have the nicest wait staff, and it's in Pasadena, and we do shows there all the time. | ||
| So we'll be there this Wednesday. | ||
| Do you have a show there Friday? | ||
| I haven't decided yet. | ||
| See, we're casual about that kind of shit. | ||
| But what we usually do is like last week we had Greg Fitzsimmons, Dom Irera, Ari Shafir. | ||
| It's that kind of lineup. | ||
| It's like all our friends that are in town, we have them come down. | ||
| You do have one. | ||
| I do have one Friday at 10 p.m. | ||
| Is it in the main room or the small room? | ||
|
unidentified
|
The small room. | |
| The small room is pretty dope too. | ||
| The small room is only like 85 seats. | ||
| It's like super intimate. | ||
| They have two rooms at the Ice House. | ||
| But it's just like there's so much history in there. | ||
| Like the other day, I went in there with Tommy Chong and we were there too. | ||
| We Cheech and Chong with Tommy Chong. | ||
| Yeah, we Cheech and Chong with Tommy Chong. | ||
| We really did. | ||
| When you say you get high with Tommy Chong, man, that is cool as fuck. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Legit. | |
| Yeah, and we went in there and it's like you could feel when you're standing in that room when it's dark and there's no one on stage and there's no one in the room. | ||
| Like you could feel the energy that's been transmitted in that building. | ||
| Like that's a place where decades and decades of stand-up comedy has gone down. | ||
| So we're there this Wednesday night, and you can get tickets at icehousecomedy.com. | ||
| Just click on the link for Death Squad. | ||
| It probably isn't even up yet. | ||
| Just call them and tell them you want in. | ||
| They'll sell you a ticket. | ||
| They'll figure that shit out. | ||
| Use your credit card, you dirty bitches. | ||
| Our shows in San Diego were amazing. | ||
| We had Jim Norton stopped in for once. | ||
| Yeah, Norton didn't even want to go up. | ||
| He's like, I don't want to go up. | ||
| I don't want to ruin his pay time. | ||
| I don't want to go up. | ||
| He's so crazy. | ||
| I'm like, go up. | ||
| These fucking people would love to see you. | ||
| Of course, he went on stage and went crazy. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| American Comedy Co. | ||
| Support that comedy club. | ||
| If you live in San Diego, it's amazing. | ||
| We're talking about maybe going once a month now, doing a desk while down there or something. | ||
| Yeah, the club is the shit. | ||
| The American Comedy Company. | ||
| It's called the American Comedy Company. | ||
| And it's literally like the perfect setup. | ||
| You walk in, low ceilings. | ||
| It's set up great. | ||
| What's the dude's name from San Jose? | ||
| Yeah, that guy. | ||
| William H. Macy there last night. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He did? | |
| Yeah, he was talking right out front door like I came out. | ||
| Oh yeah, he's there for that show. | ||
| He was at Comic Con for... | ||
| What is this show? | ||
| Did you see that? | ||
| He's got a show about a loser family. | ||
| Yeah, I can't remember. | ||
| It's hilarious. | ||
| Breaking Bad was also there though. | ||
| Staying at the hotel next to the one I was staying at. | ||
| The whole... | ||
| The whole cast was there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Really? | |
| And then on the hotel we stayed at, Sons of Anarchy was in the whole entire thing. | ||
| Yeah, when we pulled up, I had to ask them if I could park because there was a red carpet thing going on. | ||
| I was like, is the valet still open? | ||
| They're like, yeah. | ||
| I'm like, okay. | ||
| I'm going to sneak by the red carpet in my fucking car and park it. | ||
| It's weird. | ||
| It was like both things were going It was still actually a hotel, and they still had this weird thing going on. | ||
| I met Beetlejuice, too. | ||
| Have you ever met that guy? | ||
| The guy with that really, really tiny head that used to be from Howard Stern? | ||
| No, I never met him. | ||
| Wow, that was interesting. | ||
| Oh, I did meet him at the airport once. | ||
| I met him at the airport in Atlanta. | ||
| I think with Ari. | ||
| Oh wait, no, I was there with you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Were you there? | |
| Yeah. | ||
| Remember that? | ||
| Yeah, I never said anything to him. | ||
| We just saw him or something. | ||
| This time you talked to him? | ||
| Yeah, this time I talked to him, got a picture with him. | ||
| I was like, can I get a picture with you? | ||
| He goes, you do what you gotta do. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm like, alright, cool. | |
| San Diego is a pretty fucking badass place. | ||
| I'm gonna live there, except for the... | ||
| The military thing. | ||
| Military, weed, and I don't know, the hot blonde thing. | ||
| There's tons of blondes down there for some reason. | ||
| Is that bad? | ||
| What the fuck is this? | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| I mean, that's not a bad thing, but I did notice it's really weird that there's a lot of blonde people. | ||
| Yeah? | ||
| I was looking around and it's like every single person has blonde hair. | ||
| It's to counteract Mexico. | ||
| It's like... | ||
| It's just... | ||
| They're gravitated towards that area. | ||
| They don't even know why. | ||
| It's a gene pool balancing out situation. | ||
| But yeah, San Diego is a fucking awesome town, man. | ||
| I love it there. | ||
| It's one of my favorite places to go. | ||
| But it really is bizarre that they have, like, La Jolla has these 30, 40, 50 million dollar houses, giant estates overlooking the water, 20 minutes from Tijuana. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| 20 minute drive to Tijuana! | ||
| We had a bunch of Tijuana people came to the show, you know. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I didn't know it was that easy to just drive over. | ||
| They do it every day. | ||
| I made the drive a few times. | ||
| But if you live in Tijuana, you could drive over to America and just see a show. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| Really? | ||
|
unidentified
|
The line to get across the border is fucking serious. | |
| How would they keep you from just staying? | ||
| I guess they don't. | ||
| If you're a legal citizen. | ||
| I mean, eventually you're going to live. | ||
| But you don't have to have a visa or anything. | ||
| Just hop over. | ||
| We met a lot of people from Tijuana. | ||
| There was like five or six people at the show that came from Tijuana that were fans of the podcast. | ||
| It was weird. | ||
| I was like, damn, you escaped. | ||
| You're here. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Stay. | |
| Don't go back. | ||
| Why are you going to go back? | ||
| I like it down there. | ||
| I wish we could live down there. | ||
| It would be real. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Do you want it? | |
| Yeah. | ||
| No, no. | ||
| San Diego. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Bowl of choice, Brian. | |
| I like that island. | ||
| Bowl of choice. | ||
| Coronado Island? | ||
| Yeah, you just go on that island. | ||
| There's just people playing softball at this park, and you're just on this island. | ||
| The house is beautiful. | ||
| The island's one of the most expensive pieces of real estate in the country. | ||
| I could tell. | ||
| Yeah, that island has some insane houses on it. | ||
| That's where Donald Rumsfeld lives. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Yeah, it's fucking... | ||
| You can smell fire and brimstone as you drive over the bridge. | ||
| A lot of rich industrialists and all sorts of fancy pants folks live on that island. | ||
| Yeah, I don't know. | ||
| That's a real rich spot. | ||
| San Diego's got a lot of rich areas, like La Jolla. | ||
| La Jolla is gorgeous. | ||
| That's where the comedy store is. | ||
| That's an amazing town. | ||
| Beautiful, man. | ||
| When we used to stay there, I'd be like, I would always figure, like, can I live here? | ||
| Whenever we would do, like, comedy down there, I'd be like, can I live here? | ||
| It's only two hours away. | ||
| Why can't I live here? | ||
| If you're lucky, two hours. | ||
| Yeah, four and a half for me. | ||
| It took me four and a half to get to the show. | ||
| No doubt, no doubt. | ||
| Well, should we talk about a little Onnit stuff before we wrap this up here? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So, latest news in the Onnit world, we got the new alpha brain formula, which is just a slight tweak on the old alpha brain formula. | ||
| Basically, the acetylcholine mechanism remains exactly the same. | ||
| You have the huperziocerata as the acetylcholine S-rays inhibitor, and you have alpha-GPC as the raw source of choline to raise your acetylcholine levels. | ||
| And then for the dopamine mechanism, we're using L-tyrosine, which is the basic source amino acid for L-dopa instead of muconipurins. | ||
| Much more research behind L-tyrosine, and it just seems to be a preferred ingredient for that. | ||
| And instead of the supplemental GABA, we switched that out with L-theanine, which is actually why when you drink green tea, you don't get that kind of hyperactive feeling that you do from coffee necessarily, because green tea contains natural L-theanine, which is related to the GABA mechanism and kind of keeps you from getting too hyper. | ||
| And that's again going to temper that kind of very, a little bit manic effect of the mental speed and that kind of focus that you get from the acetylcholine. | ||
| And then we added Phosphatidylserine, which is a great ingredient, got a couple cool studies with phosphatidylserine. | ||
| One was measuring the accuracy of people off of a golf tee driving towards a hole 135 yards away and found statistically significant improvement In a double-blind study for the people taking phosphatidylserine as far as hitting the ball straighter. | ||
| And what they found is that it just helps reduce mental fatigue. | ||
| It's a natural nutrient that's found in brain cell membranes. | ||
| I'm going to use it to rape down my air in pool tonight. | ||
| Yes, you should. | ||
| Max, by the way, Max Eberle, one of the best pool players, a great instructor, is just raving about alpha brain. | ||
| Yeah, he sent me a text. | ||
| He loves it as well. | ||
| He loves phosphatidylserine as well. | ||
| He's been using that for a long time. | ||
| So he's super pumped about it. | ||
| Well, it's fascinating to me that this is a new frontier for a lot of folks. | ||
| You know, a lot of people aren't really aware that there are a bunch of different nutrients that have shown that they have a positive effect on your brain function. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| And then I guess everything else remains the same. | ||
| The AC-11, our proprietary antioxidant that comes from the rainforest herb, Cat's Claw, that they concentrate some of the alkaloids and really help you kind of clear away some of your mental fog. | ||
| And then the Bacopa and the B6 to help round out the formula. | ||
| But getting just great feedback on the new formula. | ||
| Again, just a slight tweak for any of those who've been fans of the old alpha brain, but definitely just a little bit better on all fronts. | ||
| And then we have the strong bone and joint formula, which we came out with, which is new. | ||
| And that's focused around the mineral strontium. | ||
| And New England Journal of Medicine study from 2004 showed that the people taking strontium ranelate had a 41% decrease fracture risk as far as developing the bone density. | ||
| And that's because strontium is one of the key minerals along with calcium that's found in the bones. | ||
| And a lot of our processed foods have eliminated the natural strontium content. | ||
| So it's, you know, one of the theories why so many people are experiencing osteoporosis is because the natural strontium that generally comes from our foods, we're not getting them anymore. | ||
| And then there's also mineral deficiencies, right? | ||
| Calcium as well? | ||
| Yeah, general mineral deficiencies. | ||
| And so we put a bunch of other trace minerals in there, put some pretty traditional things for your joints, MSM, glucosamine, hyaluronic acid. | ||
| And just make a kind of balanced formula with the ingredient strontium, which is best. | ||
| And a lot of these studies do have it in conjunction with calcium. | ||
| So we recommend taking, but you're not supposed to take them at the same time because they'll actually compete for absorption because they're such a similar molecule. | ||
| So you take the stront bone or your strontium supplement in the morning, per se, and then take a calcium supplement at night. | ||
| Great formula for people who are in active sports or if you're getting up there in age or just want better general bone and joint strength and flexibility. | ||
| And then some exciting new stuff coming out. | ||
| We got our HempForce product, which is fucking delicious. | ||
| Really good. | ||
| Just very simple. | ||
| The best tasting protein powder I've ever had. | ||
| And it's the best for you. | ||
| The crazy thing is about how less I fart on that stuff. | ||
| Yeah, totally. | ||
| It's incredible. | ||
| I do it with coconut water now. | ||
| C2O has this new version that Brian's scared of. | ||
| He's scared of the pulp. | ||
| It just tastes like goobers. | ||
| It tastes like coconut milk. | ||
| It's like Toby. | ||
| I love bubblegum. | ||
| Like a coconut, just shove it a little in your mouth. | ||
| But it's a coconut with pulp in it. | ||
| C2O is not a sponsor, but they're our friends. | ||
| So we, them and Alienware, we talk about them just because they're cool and they hook us up. | ||
| Alienware hooked us up with some cool computers and C2O keeps us hydrated. | ||
| But I make shakes with the Hemp Force and C2O, and it's fucking delicious, and no gas. | ||
| Yeah, that's it. | ||
| I would make these fucking muscle milkshakes, which taste so good, but would burn holes in the seat of my car while I was farting on the way to the gym, which is like, Jesus. | ||
| That's fun, though. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's good times. | |
| Why don't you want to fart? | ||
| Farting's fun. | ||
| There's a lot of issues with whey protein and digestion. | ||
| If you aren't careful, it can create intestinal toxemia, which is like a sludge that builds up in your intestines and actually prevents the absorption of nutrients beyond that. | ||
| But it is a very balanced kind of protein. | ||
| It's just really tough for the human body to kind of metabolize it. | ||
| Whereas hemp, on the other hand, hemp hearts, Two-thirds of that is made up of a compound called adestrin, which is already very commonly found in the human body. | ||
| So there's virtually no allergy or digestion issues. | ||
| Plus you got all the omega-3s and 6s, fatty acids in there, the GLA. Just a super protein for you. | ||
| And all we did was add some cocoa, which is again another one of the original superfoods. | ||
| You know, got a bunch of good trace minerals, chromium and a variety of other things. | ||
| And maca as well. | ||
| Long traditional use of maca, being able to boost libido and also contain a bunch of nutrients that support the endocrine system. | ||
| And a little bit of stevia, and it's got a fucking delicious drink that'll refuel you, so I'm pumped to launch that. | ||
| Real good for you, super healthy, easy to digest, like everything about it I love. | ||
| It's my new favorite all-time protein powder, and no gas, brother. | ||
| Sorry about that, Brian. | ||
| And the beauty of stevia. | ||
| I love stevia. | ||
| Yeah, stevia is interesting stuff. | ||
| You could have too much of that stuff, though. | ||
| If you try to put like a spoonful of it in your coffee, it's almost undrinkable. | ||
| It's so strong. | ||
| It is really strong. | ||
| Agave and stevia, though. | ||
| Two favorites, though. | ||
| Well, agave is not necessarily good for you. | ||
| Agave? | ||
| Really? | ||
| Yeah, I always thought it was. | ||
| Why? | ||
| It sounds like herbal and shit. | ||
| Like, um, have a little agave in my tea. | ||
| It's basically just like simple sugar. | ||
| It's not too different than fructose corn syrup. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Simple sugar. | ||
| Oh, that's fucked up. | ||
| It tastes good. | ||
| You know, look, again, moderation. | ||
| But Stevia, way better for your body. | ||
| Way better. | ||
| Just a little jazz of Stevia. | ||
| But the Stevia in Hemp Force, it's a delicious combination. | ||
| The combination of the maca, the cocoa, the raw cocoa, and the hemp fiber all together. | ||
| Oh, it's good. | ||
| It's good. | ||
| It's my favorite. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I fucked that shit up, man. | ||
| You gave me a tub of that stuff? | ||
| I killed that in two days. | ||
| I was fucking drinking it all the time. | ||
| I had two in a row because they were so good. | ||
| But muscle milk's pretty goddamn good, too. | ||
| But for me, the fart drop-off is really worth it. | ||
| But I feel like I can work out quicker, too. | ||
| I like whey protein, but a lot of times when I would take it, I would feel a little slow for like an hour and a half, two hours. | ||
| Because your stomach's got all that blood in there trying to deal with that shit. | ||
| It doesn't absorb easily. | ||
| It's not nearly as easily absorbed as plant-based protein, like hemp protein. | ||
| If you're looking for another type of protein, too, probably the second best, I think, is a combination of rice and pea protein. | ||
| Together, they're a very complementary protein. | ||
| Those are pretty good. | ||
| They don't have the extra nutrients that hemp does or the adestrin that's part of the human body, but that's a pretty good one. | ||
| Soy has a lot of issues, too. | ||
| Plus, you don't get stoner cred. | ||
| Yeah, that's true. | ||
| You get straight stoner cred from eating hemp protein. | ||
| When you show bitches your muscles, this shit came from hemp. | ||
| It came from hemp. | ||
| They had to bring it in from Canada because we're too stupid to grow muscles like this. | ||
| You can't even grow this shit here in America. | ||
| It's illegal. | ||
| How stupid are we? | ||
| That's one of the really the most hurtful things about this retarded government. | ||
| It is. | ||
| No hemp. | ||
| By the way, Henry Ford made the first car out of hemp. | ||
| We talked about this in the podcast. | ||
| There's a video you can get online. | ||
| It's pretty dope. | ||
| Have you ever seen it, Brian? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He hits it with a hammer. | ||
| He hits the fucking fenders with a hammer. | ||
| And this fiberglass that he's made out of hemp is so strong the hammer's just bouncing off of it. | ||
| I wanted to get a Corvette. | ||
| Let me just throw this out there. | ||
| See if anybody knows how this could be done. | ||
| I wanted to get a Corvette and then get the body panels made out of hemp. | ||
| How hard would that be to do? | ||
| Would that be really hard to do? | ||
| Somebody tell me. | ||
| Didn't you ask that last week? | ||
| Yeah, I did, but nobody fucking responded. | ||
| They probably got too high. | ||
| Anybody who knows how to do it is like, dude, this is... | ||
|
unidentified
|
I have the resources that you seek, sir. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| did know how to do it they forgot to get back all right but i just want to know is there someone respond to me on twitter if you know is there a way to do that because if there is a way to do that that would be badass i like that mustang better than i like that corvette yeah but i don't think you should get a red car shut up son i'm in love with this new mustang there's a new mustang shelby that's coming out it's got i think it's it's i think i said it wrong i think oh yeah it's 650 horsepower it's | ||
| It's not 640. It's 650. 650 horsepower in a Mustang. | ||
| I mean, it's hilarious! | ||
| Three miles per gallon. | ||
| No! | ||
| It actually doesn't even have a gas counselor tax because it's not naturally aspirated. | ||
| It has a supercharger on it. | ||
| So it's a big-ass V8, but it's really efficient. | ||
| And then on top of that, it's connected to a radical fucking supercharger that gives you this mad whine over the roar of the V8. But I'm in love with this car, man. | ||
| This might be my next shit. | ||
| Look, I have a Mustang. | ||
| I have a Shelby GT500 convertible. | ||
| I like, but I'm not really that cool with convertibles. | ||
| There's too many variables. | ||
| I've seen too many cars flip over on the highway and shit. | ||
| I'm like, that doesn't seem like a smart thing. | ||
| If you can have a metal roof, you probably should have a metal roof. | ||
| But I love the idea of getting an American car that's a fun car. | ||
| And if there's anything that America does right, it's make muscle cars. | ||
| It's the last shit we do right when it comes to manufacturing. | ||
| And I just love the fact that these guys are really going for it. | ||
| That they really have made a 650 fucking horsepower Mustang. | ||
| I mean, I almost feel like I'm obligated to buy something like this. | ||
| Because they're so silly that they made it. | ||
| That's what I felt like about the Corvette ZR1. I felt the same way about that. | ||
| It's so silly that they made such a crazy car. | ||
| I feel like obligated. | ||
| Because if I was a kid, and I was like, man, if I saw something like that, I'd be like, man, if I had enough money, I'd buy one of those. | ||
| That's what you should do. | ||
| You should buy one of those if you have enough money. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I got one. | |
| I got the Challenger. | ||
| I love it. | ||
| Challenger's a dope car. | ||
| Again, it's an American muscle car. | ||
| They figured out how to make it right. | ||
| They're fun to drive. | ||
| They sound good. | ||
| They sound like they're alive. | ||
| They have some fucking passion to them. | ||
| Right, Brian? | ||
| Mm-hmm. | ||
| That's the last thing we do well. | ||
| We do a lot of shit well. | ||
| We have the best music. | ||
| We have the best comedy. | ||
| Suck it if you disagree. | ||
| Suck it. | ||
| Suck it. | ||
| Yeah, England has some good music and England has some good comedy, but that's about it. | ||
| The rest of the world can suck my dick, okay? | ||
| You know, I mean, Japanese make a few pretty badass cars. | ||
| Your comedy's ridiculous. | ||
| Stop. | ||
| I know you invented martial arts, but, you know, your comedy's gotta go out the window. | ||
| Anything to say, Brian, before we wrap this up? | ||
| Brian did something yesterday. | ||
| It's not good for his head. | ||
| And I think when I smoked weed, it just kicked it back in. | ||
| Probably. | ||
| Pretty good right now, Joe. | ||
| Why not? | ||
| What? | ||

Come over here. | |
| Settle the fuck down. | ||

Ew. | |
| Gross. | ||
| You're gross. | ||
| Is that how you get gross? | ||
| Talk to them like that? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Come here, girl. | ||
| Come here. | ||
| Come here. | ||
| I felt it. | ||
| I felt vulnerable. | ||
| Anything more? | ||
| No, that's it. | ||
| I've been super active on my blog, so if anybody wants to keep up with me, warriorpoet.us. | ||
| And you have a podcast. | ||
| Yeah, I got a podcast. | ||
| Just had a podcast with Mitch Schultz at DMT, The Spirit Molecule. | ||
| It was a fucking really cool conversation. | ||
| I keep them to about an hour. | ||
| But that was really cool. | ||
| So check it out. | ||
| You can see the links from warriorpoet.us. | ||
| Nice. | ||
| Beautiful. | ||
| Alright, and we got several podcasts this week. | ||
| Tomorrow we have Bobo from Finding Bigfoot. | ||
| I am fucking very psyched. | ||
| Let's find that motherfucker already. | ||
| Come on, people! | ||
| Well, if anybody's going to find it, Finding Bigfoot's going to find it. | ||
| This James Bobo Fay, and he's Squatcher on Twitter, if you want to find him. | ||
| And he's tomorrow. | ||
| I'm fucking psyched because I've been addicted to Bigfoot since I was a little kid. | ||
| I can't tell you how many documentaries I've watched and books I've read. | ||
| I've been fascinated. | ||
| This guy's seen a Sasquatch, allegedly. | ||
| Did you see the South Park about it? | ||
| About Bigfoot? | ||
| No. | ||
| You should really watch them. | ||
| I should really watch South Park about everything. | ||
| So that's Tuesday. | ||
| Wednesday we have Justin Halpern on the podcast. | ||
| He's the guy who wrote Shit My Dad Says. | ||
| And he wrote the movie. | ||
| And he's got a book called I Suck at Girls. | ||
| It's his newest book. | ||
| And a very funny guy. | ||
| So he'll be joining us then. | ||
| Next week we got Honey Honey, Immortal Technique, Rob Wolf, and Maynard Keenan. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh my god. | |
| That's a huge week. | ||
| Four days of chaos next week. | ||
| Yeah, the week after that, we got Tom Rhodes. | ||
| We got a lot of shit happening, you dirty bitches. | ||
| Jack Singer Concert Hall this Friday night. | ||
| Ari Shaffir, me, Duncan Trussell. | ||
| Come, get your freak on, Calgary. | ||
| There's still tickets available for the 10 p.m. | ||
| show. | ||
| Thank you to Onnit.com. | ||
| Go to O-N-N-I-T. And if you want to buy some supplements, use the code name ROGAN and save yourself 10% off. | ||
| We cannot give you this sort of a discount on the battle ropes and the kettlebells. | ||
| It's because they're as cheap as we can possibly sell them, ladies and gentlemen, in the best fucking quality you're going to get. | ||
| These kettlebells are made out of solid motherfucking iron, and long after you're dead, archaeologists will find these bitches at the bottom of the ocean and try to figure out what the fuck they are. | ||
| And they'll go, oh, this is what Mike used to get swole as fuck! | ||
| Go check them out. | ||
| Go get them. | ||
| Go get yourself on a fucking workout program. | ||
| We have all sorts of different... | ||
| You can buy them in packages. | ||
| All sorts of different packages for beginners and for people who are a bit more experienced. | ||
| There's a hundred different fucking more videos on YouTube of different kettlebell techniques, and there's a lot of DVDs and stuff that's available as well. | ||
| We're eventually going to make our own DVD. We're going to get on that. | ||
| We'll probably talk about that as soon as we shut off this fucking podcast, okay? | ||
| So we gotta get to it. | ||
| Alright, we love you guys. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Much love, everybody. | |
| We will see you tomorrow. | ||
| Thank you, everybody, for all the positive energy and all the positive tweets and all the cool motherfuckers that come out to these comedy shows. | ||
| And it's overwhelming. | ||
| For sure, we have tapped into some sort of a vein of the coolest people on Earth. | ||
| And we hear from all you people that we are contributing to your happiness. | ||
| And we are contributing to your positive energy. | ||
| And make no mistake about it, we feel very obligated, very connected, and we're all a part of this thing. | ||
| We're all a part of this thing together. | ||
| We're just the antenna and whatever, the radio, the thing that keeps it moving. | ||
| I ran out of cliches. | ||
| I'll see you fucking freaks tomorrow! | ||
| Keep it in your pants! |
