joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Shut it.
		Shut it, folks.
		We're fucking moving.
		We're in motion right now.
		We're coming to you live from beautiful Pasadena, California, where it's all going down.
		Love is in the air.
		And some other shit that's legal in two states.
		Holla!
		This Joe Rogan Experience podcast is brought to you by Onnit.
		Go to onnit.com, use the code name Rogan, and you will save 10% off any and all of the supplements available at Onnit.
		There's no other way to really truly describe Onnit than, I try to say, a lifestyle company, a supplement company, a company that sells you shit to make you more badass.
		Everything that on itself is something to make your mind work better, improve your mood, make your body work faster, whether it's fitness equipment, whether it's the supplements, whatever the fuck it is, we're selling you the best shit humanly possible.
		I'm part owner in this company.
		That's how much I believe in it.
		The stuff is the best shit we can find, and when we sell you supplements, no one's trying to rip you off in any way, shape, or form.
		You can send...
		You don't have to send shit.
		If you order the first 30 pills, you get a 100% money-back guarantee.
		If you don't like it, you just say you don't like it.
		The reason being twofold.
		One, we're definitely not trying to rip anybody off.
		We don't want anybody to have a negative experience.
		And two, we are so confident that you're going to enjoy the products that we're willing to take that chance.
		Whether it's Alpha Brain or whether it's New Mood, there is science behind all of these various supplements.
		Whether it's the Cordyceps Mushroom Supplement, Shroom Tech Sport.
		Which is one of the best supplements you can ever use as far as endurance goes.
		It's fucking phenomenal.
		The Hemp Force protein powder that we sell you, the best hemp protein you can get.
		The richest in protein, the smoothest, and unfortunately you have to buy it from Canada because it's illegal in this country, yo.
		This country's kind of whack as fuck with its stupid laws.
		But we're working that out, right?
		Colorado and Washington State.
		Colorado and Washington State stepped up and made marijuana legal.
		I would love to sell marijuana on it.com.
		If we could just send bricks of weed through the mail.
unidentified		Someday.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Just call them happiness packages.
		And people say, hey man, marijuana can be bad for you.
		You know, that's the age old problem.
		Is that everything can be bad for you.
		Washing your hands can be bad for you.
		If you're fucking bananas and you wash your hands a hundred times a day.
		When you talk to me about people that have a problem with marijuana...
		I tell you that there's people that have a problem with goddamn everything.
		Don't concentrate on that.
		Concentrate on what is being used or what is being achieved with marijuana that's good.
		And the good aspects of it you can't ignore just because some people have negative experiences.
		The good aspects of it are you're losing your ego.
		You're relaxing.
		You're getting more social.
		You get more sensitive.
unidentified		Anal sex.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Food taste.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		I don't know about that.
unidentified		Yes.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		I don't know about that, Brian.
unidentified		You know sex is way better.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Shut your mouth.
unidentified		Any kind of sex is better than weed.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		I don't want to hear about your butt.
unidentified		You know that.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Killer Bee Honey is another thing we're selling at Onnit.com.
		We can't sell you weed, folks.
		Weed could kill you.
		Weed could kill you if you take 25 pounds of it and drop it out of an airplane and it hits you in the head.
		Okay, that's the only way weed kills you.
		And unfortunately, because weed's illegal, we can't sell you hemp either.
		So we can sell it, but we can't grow it.
		It's really a screwy situation.
		We have to actually get our shit from our neighbor to the north, Canada.
		And although we're very happy to give our brothers in the north some money, the Canadian farmers, it's all nice and everything, but they're limited too because it's such a high commodity thing now.
		It's so in demand.
		It's hard to keep up the supply.
brian redban ▲ ● ▼		Can I just say I love how you've added your own little taste to the Onnit website of having poker be one of the skills that helps you out for...
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Alpha Brain?
unidentified		Alpha Brain.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		There's a lot of...
		You mean pools.
		That's what you meant.
		Oh, but it's true.
		Max Eberle, he's totally addicted to it.
		Max Eberle, who's one of my very good friends, is one of the best pool players in the world.
		And Max is a hell of a pool player, and he loves taking Alpha Brain before he plays pool.
		Poker players swear by it, too.
		Apparently, there's a lot of the dudes that are on the professional poker tour are really into AlphaBrain.
		They're into every possible edge you can get.
		Poker is all about thinking quickly and concisely and being able to formulate all the different possibilities in your mind, and nothing helps with that.
		There's Max Abley right there.
		Powerful Max Abley.
		Yeah, if you see that dude and he wants you to play for money, do not say yes.
		Sorry to knock your action, Max.
		That's just fucked up.
brian redban ▲ ● ▼		Just say, hey, instead, let's go find some hot Asians.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, he will fall apart on you.
		Yeah, he will fall apart on you.
		Because I play a pretty good fucking pool, but Max heavily buries me every time.
		He's a monster.
		I've seen that guy run eight racks of ten ball in a row.
		That's not, like, unheard of.
		That shit's ridiculous.
		I've seen Max Eberle do some freaky shit all on AlphaBrain, folks.
		Onnit.com.
		Use the code name ROGAN. Save yourself 10% off all the supplements.
		The other shit.
		The new stuff.
		We have so much new stuff.
		You have to go to the website because I can't talk anymore.
		People get pissed off and they stop listening.
		Killer B, honey.
		We got omega-3 jellies for your youngins.
		Go check it out, folks.
		That's it.
		The end.
unidentified		Daniele Bonelli's here, ready to drop some science on you bitches!
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Are you prepared?
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Da-da-da!
unidentified		Joe Rogan Podcast, check it out.
		The Joe Rogan Experience.
		Train by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Try to shorten these things up, Daniele.
		You know what I'm saying, man?
		I talk too much.
		I'm a rambling dude, and when I have no script in front of me, I probably have that cat parasite disease.
		I should go look it up.
unidentified		We need to stop talking about it and just do it.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Just do it.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		But I wouldn't want to tell people because then they'd fucking blame everything on my cat parasite.
unidentified		No, we could be the spokesman for it.
		I think that'd be awesome if we were the spokesman for it.
		If that many people are infected by it, that'd be awesome.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Joey has it.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Joey has it 100%.
unidentified		Absolutely.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		There's no doubt.
unidentified		His kids are about to have it.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Joey has had more than 11 cats in his house at one point in time.
		I don't know what he has now.
		I think it's 11. It's 11. Yeah, and he has wild cats too.
		He has ones outside that he only feeds, he doesn't get to touch.
		Those are the ones that probably have it.
		Yeah, the feral cats are the ones that probably have it.
		He's got feral cats too.
		He takes care of regular cats and feral cats.
unidentified		That's nuts.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		The thing is that toxoplasma disease, when people get that shit, everybody always hears about the crazy cat lady.
		Everybody always hears about the crazy cat people that live around all these cats and have 15, 20 cats.
		If those cats really are hypnotizing those people and forcing them to live around their polluted shit...
		That's kind of fucked up.
unidentified		It is fucked up.
		That's why we need to take the test and we'll be the spokesman for it.
		That's a good idea.
		That could be our thing.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Most folks don't even know what we're talking about.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Are you familiar at all with the whole toxoplasma thing?
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		I heard about it, but, you know, kind of like random bad shit that can happen when you have cats around.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		That was about the extent that I got.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		That's all you got?
unidentified		Yeah.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Really?
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		But you're like a super smart dude and a professor.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		I fake it, man.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		You fake it?
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		I just fake it well.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		That's what it is.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		You're very well-read, but is there almost too many things?
		See my education?
		It goes deep, son.
		Fucking strong with the grammar.
		There's too many things to know.
		In this day and age, to really truly be a renaissance man, there you are.
		It doesn't matter how well-read you are.
		It doesn't matter how curious you are.
		You are going to come across subjects that you have no idea.
		There's just too much information out.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		About anything.
		Even about the stuff that you do know about, there will still be the areas that you don't know about.
		You know what I mean?
		It's the nature of the beast, but at the same time, to me, in a way, it doesn't matter because the real deep stuff is the same in any specific field of knowledge you discuss.
		Whether you're talking about martial arts or sex or you name it, whatever.
		At the end of the day, The big themes are gonna show up regardless of where you start.
		So even if you don't know every little thing that is to know, which nobody will ever get there, then who the hell cares as long as you get the essence of the game.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, and you know, it's like, I think that's part of how religion got a stronghold on humanity, because that reality of all these different things that you don't know, and so much out there that it's...
		There was a quote by Terence McKenna about...
		I think it was his brother Dennis, actually, that said it.
		About expanding the field of vision just really shows you more of what you don't know.
		And that if you have a campfire, the brighter the campfire, the more darkness is revealed.
		And it's not that you ever uncover it all.
		The more information you take in, the more...
		It gets more and more confusing to the point where the real comfort comes in simplicity.
		That's why I like country music.
		Songs are so popular.
		The idea of embracing simplicity, especially in this day and age, it's pretty popular because it feels good to pretend that You know, like fucking life's a John Wayne movie.
		It feels good to pretend that this stuff makes sense, where the more you look at life and the more you look at all the different variables, and then the fact that we're finite beings, just that alone is the ultimate mindfuck.
		That no matter how well you do, you know, you have a short amount of time in this spot, in this dimension.
		So, the most noble aspects of religion, I've always defended the noble aspects of religion because I've seen it do good things to people that have issues.
		I've seen it used as a scaffolding for developing good ethical and moral behavior.
		But the worst aspects of it are always the insistence on limiting information, the insistence on slowing the...
		And it's not all religion, by the way, folks, and I'm not blaming all...
		But I'm saying there's an aspect, let's not even call it religion, there's an aspect of human nature, when you're in a position of power, and all of a sudden there's information that's coming at you, so you control a bunch of people.
		Which, by the way, if you run a school, or if you're a preacher, You're in a position of power.
		You might not think of it as a position of power.
		You might think of it as a position of teaching, but you're clearly in a position of power.
		And it's just very unfortunate that when human beings get to that spot where there's one person controlling another person or in charge of speaking more than the other people, They want to, like, hold that and manipulate it.
		And if information comes in, contrary to what they've been teaching, they fight that fucking shit tooth and nail.
		And unfortunately, it happens even in the lowest levels of academia.
		It doesn't just happen in religion.
		It happens when professors get challenged on, you know, long-standing ideas that are proven to be false.
		I mean, it goes way...
		We want to think that, like, when you go way back to, like, Galileo getting house arrest for saying that the Earth wasn't the center of the universe...
		You want to think, yeah, but that was then.
		We're past that shit now.
		Not quite.
		We just have enough information so it's way too ridiculous to lock somebody up for saying that the Earth is in the center of the universe.
		But it's still okay to teach in schools that the Earth is only 10,000 years old.
		You know what I mean?
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		That blows my mind.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Crazy!
		They're still doing it!
		I know.
		There's people...
		I don't remember what state it is.
		Let's be nice and pretend we don't know what state it is.
		But it's definitely where it's warm out.
		And these motherfuckers, they're trying to teach alternative theories to the theory of evolution.
		And, you know, they're saying, well, it's just a theory.
		Evolution is just a theory.
		This hasn't been proven.
		You show me transitionary fossil...
		Listen, forget calling you the evolutionary theory.
		Let's just talk about the theory of how shit got to be what it is now.
		You know, when you call it evolution, call it whatever you want.
		Stop saying a name that you disagree with.
		Evolution means lack of God.
		Who created evolution?
		If you just throw away that word, what's going on?
		Well, obviously things are improving right in front of us all the time, constantly.
		Whether it's social things, whether it's the physical capabilities of human beings, you know, the size of lions in Africa that get stuck on an island.
		When things have to get better or they have to get better at something in order to improve, they do.
		And it seems like that's going on from the moment the Big Bang happened to the cooling of these planets to the time where You can support liquid water to the emergence of life.
		There's a constant series of complications or a constant process of things being more and more complicated.
		And that's just unavoidable.
		It seems like that's everywhere around us, everywhere we look.
		So you've got to call it something.
		Say, maybe there's a God, and maybe what God does is just plant seeds, just like we do when we make a tomato plant.
		We're not involved in the entire process.
		Maybe the God is the seed planter of the universe, but the motion and the way that everything goes is sort of undeniable.
		It becomes more and more complex, and when you have people that are in positions of power that insist on using information that's really fucking old.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Well, I mean, it's the nature of the business, right?
		If you are in a position of power, anything that threatens it is a threat to you.
		So fuck whatever new information.
		You don't want anything to change.
		And new information can change.
		And by definition, then it's bad.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Do they use any of the Dead Sea Scrolls?
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Does any Christian religion embrace?
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		I mean, granted, there are, last time I checked, there are 30,000 different denominations of Christianity.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		So that's quite a few.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Is that true?
		30,000?
		Holy shit.
		Which ones have the most sex?
unidentified		Yeah.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		You know, that's what you got to look at.
		Is it the Mormons?
		They seem like the healthiest.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		You would dig.
		There was this one guy, very early Christianity, Carpo Kratis or some weird Greek name like that, that I think second century Christianity, who argued that the way to heaven went through sex orgies.
		Wow, what a good guy.
		What a good fellow.
		What year was this?
		Very early on.
		It was like, I want to say second century, something like that.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		He knew how to live.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		That guy knew how to live.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		But can you imagine, like, Eddie's version of Christianity prevailed rather than simple?
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		It would have been awesome.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		In fact, Sunday morning, everybody would be rushing to church like crazy, knocking on the door, please let me back in, you know?
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		The problem is there's always going to be some dudes left out that no one wants to fuck.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		And those assholes will ruin it for everybody else.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		I think that's the history of religions, right?
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		That is, man.
		They come along and they say, this is not God's way!
		Why?
		Because nobody wants to fuck that guy.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		That's exactly my thinking about that.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, man.
		If he looked like Channing Tatum.
		Is that the guy?
		The really handsome fellow?
		Channing Tatum?
unidentified		That's the guy you like.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		That's the guy I like.
		If that dude looked like Channing Tatum, he would never be proposing that.
		He'd be like, that's him.
		We'll need to settle down.
		We'll raise each other's kids.
		That's what McKenna proposed, too.
		He proposed that there was just these wild psychedelic drug orgies and that they would take mushrooms and have these orgies and that before, you know, when they really couldn't identify who was the father because they were all being polyamorous, as it were.
		Having sex with a bunch of different people.
		But McKenna, I always felt like there was a little bit of wistfulness in those concepts that I felt like, well, you look at McKenna and you're like, it's probably hard for that guy to get pussy when he was young.
		He probably concocted some wacky-ass theories of...
		Things gone by the way things were.
		Maybe not, dude.
		Maybe it's always been cavemen clubbing bitches over heads and dragging them into holes to shoot loads into them.
		Because that seems like what it used to be.
		At some point in time, did it really become mushroom orgies?
		I don't know.
		I think he would have liked that.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		I think down to this day, it's every theory you ever hear from anybody.
		It's all about being able to get laid better.
		That's my quick synthesis of human nature.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Well, there's no denying the workings of the human body.
		The human body requires a lot of different things.
		It requires stimulation.
		That's why people go crazy when you put them in solitary confinement.
		It requires the human touch.
		I moved to L.A. in 1994, I guess.
		I was out here doing a sitcom.
		I didn't know anybody out here.
		I really didn't like work.
		It wasn't that fun.
		It was a couple guys that I liked on the set.
		I was dealing with all these actors.
		It was a real alien experience for me.
		I missed my girlfriend back home in New York.
		I was out here for a couple of weeks.
		This girl that I was working with on the show, she gave me a hug.
		It was no big deal.
		I was like, hey, how are you?
		What's going on?
		I'm excited to see you.
		She gave me this hug at work.
		I remember feeling like I went to the gas station and I filled up my tank.
		I was on empty and now I'm better.
		She gave me something by giving me a hug.
		It wasn't a sexual thing.
		It was a touch thing.
		I think we're so used to being hugged and so used to being social.
		It's so common that you don't realize When you step away from it for a little bit, you fucking need the human touch.
		When you haven't been hugged for a while and someone hugs you, it feels amazing.
		It just feels great.
		Just to get a nice hug from a person.
		A guy!
		It's not a sexual thing.
		It could be a guy.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		That's one thing that cracked me up when I moved to the U.S. is that I was used to giving hugs to women and men.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Right.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		And out here, a bunch of men, I realized, they would always...
		It's hand-to-hand in between three pats on the back with heaps thrust 20 inches away because otherwise it's sexual or something.
		And I'm like...
		Oh, fuck that.
		I mean, if you're going to give me a hug, give me a hug.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		I just rub my dicks on dudes.
		I just rub my dick on dudes' legs and shit and hips.
		I like to rub my dick on their hips.
		It doesn't even make sense.
		Just give them a hug and rub my dick on their hips.
		Yeah, I hug the fuck out of people.
		I don't care.
		We always say that when we're going to Twitter.
		We're on Twitter going to shows.
		Free hugs at the Ice House tonight.
		We always say silly shit like that.
		Nothing wrong with hugging people, man.
		But there is something wrong when somebody wants to hug you and you don't want to hug them.
		Then there's something wrong with hugging.
		Then you're like, listen, man.
		I don't even know you.
		Or people that want to hug you that have bad breath.
		You can hug me, but you've got to keep your mouth shut.
unidentified		The worst is the sweaty palms or sweaty hands or is it like a dead fish?
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		It's so often.
		Well, I think it's strengthening my immune system because I do these shows and after the shows I'll shake hands with like hundreds of people.
		Because after the shows I wait in line and I take pictures with everybody.
		I just feel like, you know, it's only a couple more hours of my time and it's...
		I'm so fortunate in so many ways that I feel like I have...
		Dice wears gloves.
		He won't even shake people's hands.
		Dice wears his weightlifting gloves.
unidentified		The funniest was when we were...
unidentified		Did I say this already?
brian redban ▲ ● ▼		With Greg Fitzsimmons when we were in Seattle and we were taking photos together.
		You were taking photos and then they would come to us And me and him would take photos together.
		And he was saying like how he doesn't shake hands, he just fist bumps.
unidentified		And so I'm like, you know, that makes so much sense because I am touching all these people's hands.
brian redban ▲ ● ▼		And so I did, the next person I went up to happened to be an Asian guy and his girlfriend or whatever.
unidentified		I did a fist bump and he goes, hey, you're the only one he hasn't done shaking the person's hand.
		Like he tried to throw me underneath the bus.
		Like he doesn't want to shake her.
		Greg did that?
		Yeah.
		And so then...
		And then I was trying to get him back.
		So what I would do is we would have her arm around the guy.
		And Greg said, I don't touch the person.
brian redban ▲ ● ▼		So when they do the arm thing, I just stand there.
unidentified		I don't put my arm around them.
brian redban ▲ ● ▼		So I would always be like, come on, Greg, put your arm around the guy.
unidentified		Let's take a photo here.
unidentified		And so he would have to do it.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		He really doesn't hug people?
unidentified		No, no.
		And so then I started moving his hand down.
		And so he would touch the guy's butt and stuff.
		It was hilarious.
		We were having the greatest time doing that stupid shit.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, we went for a series of maybe...
		Five years of photos where Brian made a bah face in the back of the photo?
		It's not a joke.
		There might be 100,000 photos plus of Brian.
		I mean, he was fucking committed to it.
		Yeah, that's a new era of humanity, the photo era.
		There's more photos today than there ever were, ever.
		I mean, in one day, I bet, there's more photos taken than the entire history of the human race.
unidentified		Can you imagine history books in 100 years?
brian redban ▲ ● ▼		It's just going to be fucking MySpace photos from the top.
brian redban ▲ ● ▼		This person who did this important thing in time.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		This is Tila Tequila.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		And this was her website that really shocked the world.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Speaking of photos, just so you guys know why guests may seem distracted and weird, right behind Joe's head, there's this giant picture of a girl with very generous cleavage.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Do you know who that is?
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		I want to know, but...
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		It's beautiful.
		You're not American.
		That's Pamela Anderson, man.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		You've got to be kidding me.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		That's Pamela Anderson.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, not knowing who Pam...
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		I look like I'm eight years old.
unidentified		See how she's so yellow?
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		You know what?
unidentified		It's because of the hepatitis C. That's why I... Oh, Brian, stop that.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		That's so mean.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		To be honest, it's actually the first moment.
		I've been here like 40 minutes.
		It's the first second that my eyesight goes above her clavicles.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		You were just looking out with balloons?
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, definitely.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		When I was a younger man, I would have loved them so.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		But now I look at them and I say, they look great and everything, but I can't get past the irony or the ridiculousness of the fact that there's a bag of water under your nipple.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		I can totally get past that.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		It's fucking crazy.
		Oh, dude, that's so crazy.
		Just saying that, I had a dream, Brian, that we were at a strip club.
		And you and I were at a strip club, and there was a girl with a fake butt And you kept saying, dude, she's got a fake butt.
		She's got a fake, this is a real, get her over here.
		She'll show us, she'll tell us.
		And this girl was covered in oil and you were like pinching her fake butt like you can't feel it at all.
		And I was just shocked at how odd it was.
		I don't know why.
unidentified		You got to see my life.
unidentified		You time-traveled.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I time-traveled.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Well, tell me, because this girl had an arm bracelet on, as if she was a Muay Thai fighter or some shit, and she had black hair.
unidentified		She had black hair.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		She was covered in oil, and she was quite tan.
brian redban ▲ ● ▼		She had black hair and she was tan, but I don't think she was oil, just pussy juice.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		How come girls don't go with the tan lines?
		Tan lines are gone.
		They don't exist anymore.
		You don't see them in porn.
		If you ever see them in porn, you get all excited.
unidentified		Oh, it's the hottest shit ever.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, ever.
unidentified		Underboob tan line perfection.
		Garfield looking down at the sidewalk.
		It's great.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Garfield looking at the sidewalk?
unidentified		Yeah.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		What the fuck?
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		I don't know what you're talking about.
unidentified		Just imagine the tan lines.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		That's two.
		Thank you.
		I'm glad.
		Do you know what he's talking about?
		No.
		There's three.
		Three people in this room.
unidentified		What?
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Nobody knows what the fuck you're talking about.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Brian, your brain.
unidentified		Think about it.
unidentified		Garfield...
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		I think you have a hamster parasite.
		Everybody else got that cat parasite?
		You got like a hamster parasite.
unidentified		Garfield looking down at the sidewalk, underboob.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Bam!
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Oh, okay.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		I did not know what the fuck that meant.
		That's a weird thing that girls can do where they can go out and literally their entire tit can be hanging out.
		As long as their areolas are covered, it's okay.
		That is such a weird thing with us.
		You can paint your tits.
		Have you ever seen that?
		When people paint their whole body so they're fucking naked and you have paint on and your tits are out and you're just wandering around at a party.
		Guys with their girlfriends, they've found a loophole for showing their tits.
		Look, I'm not a hater.
		I'm just saying it's a weird thing that you can just paint your tits and we're pretending that's clothes.
		When did paint become clothes?
		Because it's not dick clothes, I'll tell you that.
		You can't paint your dick.
unidentified		We should try.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		No, you can't.
		You go right to jail.
		You can't just paint your dick and go out.
		They will arrest you.
		They will lock you up for sure.
		They'll say you're naked.
		But a girl can be topless and covered in paint and somehow or another we let that slide.
unidentified		Even if it's painted like a turkey...
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		I say we like I'm a law enforcement officer.
		We're out on the field.
		We're out there on the streets trying to keep people safe.
		I don't want tits out.
unidentified		If it's painted really well, though, like if it was a turkey gobbler or something like that, or, you know...
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Like it's nice.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		It's pretty.
unidentified		Like it's a cool...
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		It's artwork.
unidentified		Artwork.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
		Well, I guess there's an argument for that.
		Look, I think you should be able to do it.
		Don't get me wrong.
		But I think it is weird that you're allowed to do it.
		You're not allowed to be topless, but you are allowed to be topless with paint on your tits.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, that's the fucked up part.
		You're not allowed to be topless.
		What the fuck is that?
		I mean, it's just like we have, what, San Fernando Valley is world capital of porn, but at the same time, if a woman gets topless on the beach, it's considered indecent exposure and you go to jail.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		We're very ridiculous.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		What?
brian redban ▲ ● ▼		What if we get painted on and we go to the strip club?
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		I don't think you can do that.
		I think they'll arrest you.
		We should try.
unidentified		Just paint jeans on.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Paint jeans.
		Yeah, I guess.
		Why not?
		It really gets down to the question of how thin is clothes.
		At what point in time is it not clothes?
		When it's opaque, is it clothes?
		I can see the outline of your dick.
		If you're wearing clear pants, are you allowed to wear clear pants?
		Say if you were wearing, it looked like saran wrap, clear pants, and I just see your cock and balls.
		Is that legal?
		Because you're wearing clothes.
		You're just wearing clear clothes.
unidentified		Probably not legal.
unidentified		Unless you're trimmed.
brian redban ▲ ● ▼		I think if you had no pubic hair, it might be legal.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		What if you had this whole monster bush?
unidentified		I think it's the bush.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Ass hair, everything.
		No underwear.
		Walking around.
		So are you allowed to walk around in underwear?
		That's a question.
unidentified		Yeah.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Are you?
unidentified		I think so.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Can you just walk somewhere with underwear on?
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Can you walk into a store with underwear on?
unidentified		I would think so.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		You can walk in if you have board shorts and no underwear on.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		They don't even know, and meanwhile, there's just a thin layer of cloth between you and your dangerous dick.
brian redban ▲ ● ▼		Girls wear bathing suits everywhere, so that's underwear.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Are they allowed to wear bathing suits into a store?
unidentified		Yeah.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Every store?
unidentified		My ex-girlfriends do.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		You did a bunch of sneaky bitches, though.
unidentified		Olive Garden in a bathing suit.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		She went in a bathing suit to Olive Garden.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		That's how you know you're classy.
unidentified		Boy.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		You should have married that girl.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		The naked story brings back a memory.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		I had the most annoying neighbors in the universe who are hardcore Christian fundamentalists, total freaks who made noise at all.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Don't give out their address online, but give out the house right next to them.
unidentified		Just text it.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		I'll be nice.
		Plus, they probably moved by now and somebody else would get stuck with people.
		But in any case, these guys were just bugging the shit out of me.
		And they were in the back, they were cleaning their car.
		It was like, the way the houses were set up, this was about a full one foot out of my screen door that was open in the back was summer.
		So there was only, I only had the screen door, but you could see inside because I had the light on.
		I was like, how do I piss these people off?
		They're bugging the hell out of me with their obnoxious music.
		I was like, you know what?
		Fuck, I play naked chef.
		So I was cooking at the moment.
		They were right there, so I decided I'll just cook naked.
		And they are not quite paying attention yet, so I'm going to make sure to pump the music a little so they'll look inside.
		With one second from the time I did that, they were out back in the house, locked behind them, and it was...
unidentified		You like it when they watch that.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		There was a guy who was arrested.
		Did you hear about this story?
		A guy was arrested for that very thing.
		In Springfield, Virginia, a guy named Eric Williamson was arrested and charged with indecent exposure for failing to put on any clothes after getting up at 5.30am to make some coffee.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		In his house?
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		In his own fucking house.
		A woman and her seven-year-old daughter had cut across Williams' front yard and saw him through his kitchen window.
		Well, first of all, that cunt's a trespasser.
unidentified		Right.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		And in fucking Colorado and parts west, they could just shoot that crazy bitch.
		So she called the cops because the guy was making coffee naked.
		The guy got out of fucking bed and made coffee.
		It's not like he was beating off in front of the window, banging on it.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Hey!
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		You and the kid!
unidentified		That's crazy.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		If convicted, Williamson could be fined $2,000 and could spend a year in jail.
		And this is incredible.
		This is 2009. Shh.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Damn.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		I don't know what happened.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		But I think this has happened more than once.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		My favorite tire the other day was some guy gave a $2,000 ticket to a toddler who was pissing in his own backyard.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Oh, God.
		A toddler?
		It did happen again.
		It happened in October this year in Yorkstown, Virginia.
		And again, it's all places where it's fucking too hot out.
		Those people are retarded.
		Not all of them, but a good percentage of them.
		Right?
		A good, solid percentage.
		If you're in Virginia, a good, solid percentage of the people that you're...
		Solage?
		Is that even a word?
		Is that what I said?
		I think I said...
		I heard it coming out of my mouth.
		I'm like, stupid.
		By the way, both of these incidents happened in Virginia.
		Two separate towns in Virginia.
		God, people are stupid as fuck.
		This guy was 69 years old.
		He was in his house.
		He was standing naked in front of the window.
		Well, that might have been different.
		This guy seems a little creepy.
unidentified		Yeah.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		It's again, a woman with her kids.
		Walking her kids.
		And this dude, she said he made no effort to cover himself.
		And was in clear view of the public.
		You know why?
		Because he's probably not even sure if he's alive anymore.
		He's 69 years old.
		When was the last time anyone touched his dick?
		He's probably on all kinds of pills.
		And he's just like, I just want to be naked in front of the window.
		Am I even alive anymore?
unidentified		Does somebody out there have the answers for me?
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		So he takes his clothes off and stands in front of the mirror.
		It's always some cock-blocking bitch.
		Just hating.
		With her kids.
		Not to say the guy wasn't creepy and crazy.
		I'm sure he is.
		But really, it's your house.
		You should be allowed to be naked.
brian redban ▲ ● ▼		You know what's fun about having a beetle is that every time you drive by kids, they punch each other because it's a slug bug beetle.
unidentified		What?
unidentified		You're supposed to go like, slug bug black, and then you punch the person in the shoulder.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		I don't know what you're talking about.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		I've never heard of that.
unidentified		Yeah, it's like a kid's thing.
brian redban ▲ ● ▼		Every time you see a beetle, you have to say the color of the beetle, like slug bug red, if it's a red beetle.
brian redban ▲ ● ▼		And then you punch the person in the...
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Oh, so they could punch you if they see the same car again?
unidentified		Right.
unidentified		Or if they see another Beetle.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Oh, any Beetle.
unidentified		Yeah, so it's funny because you see it.
		When you drive a Beetle, you see it.
		Just driving by people, you'll see it every five people will do it.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I would recommend not playing that game with anybody who knows how to punch.
unidentified		Yeah, right.
		Well, I was thinking just go to a schoolgirl when they get out of class.
		Just keep on driving by real slow.
		Japanese schoolgirls.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Japanese schoolgirls, what?
unidentified		Like a school.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Going by a school and punching each other?
		Brian, you need to go to a doctor.
		You really need to go to a doctor.
		The idea that you're on a podcast that's seen and listened to by millions of fucking people staggers folks at home right now.
		They're like, this guy, does he understand that no one understands him?
		Yeah, a schoolgirl.
		And then you fly those airplanes and get a kite.
		You know, light a cigarette.
		You know when you cut grass?
		Like, there's something wrong with your brain.
		These sentences that you're putting together, they're nonsensical.
		And you say, I'm like, yeah, you know.
		I don't know.
		Maybe I'm partially to blame for nursing this.
		I don't know.
		Maybe it's partially my fault.
		Why is it naked?
		Why is being naked illegal?
		Is that a religion thing?
		Is that even in the Bible?
		Do you have to wear clothes?
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		You know, it's awesome because all the sexual stuff is, it's hilarious because, especially in Christianity, because Jesus doesn't really talk about sex.
		I mean, there's like one minor reference where people think actually it was a joke and he was trying to say the opposite, but in any case, It's a known issue.
		It just never touches on the topic.
		For all we know, he could have been having orgies from morning to night or could have been totally set.
		We have no idea.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		This is Jesus, but what about the...
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Doesn't the Old Testament have some sexual references?
unidentified		Oh.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Does it forbade homosexuality?
unidentified		Oh, yeah.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, what does it say about a man's lines with a man?
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		He should be stoned, right?
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Oh, yeah, which maybe is to interpret it in a different way, but...
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, it'd be cool if they meant that.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Like, if you guys are having sex, you should get high first because it'll feel better.
unidentified		Yeah.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Wouldn't it be funny if it was just a big misunderstanding and the dummies came along, oh, we've got to throw rocks at them, and then it became that.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		It was like if two guys are lying around together, like, you listen, if you want to get really comfortable with each other, you've got to get high first.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		That should be it.
		They make you emperor of the world.
		That should be one of the first laws passed.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I've always said there's two types of people that are trying to stop gay marriage and gay sex.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		It's people that are really dumb and people that are secretly worried that dicks are delicious.
unidentified		Oh yeah, of course.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		That's it.
		That's all it is.
		It's people that are just fucking fighting off the game, man, and they're not winning.
		They're fighting off the game, but they're just fucking not winning.
		The fact that you would want to control anybody who's into anything sexually.
		You know, like, dudes, I have friends that are into really big women.
		I don't want to mention names, Sam Tripoli, but there's a guy, he fucking loves big women.
		He jokes, but he loves a man.
		Like a girl walked by, 210, 220, he's like, fuck yeah, mama.
unidentified		But that's him, you know?
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		I don't have to do it.
		Everybody's got their own thing.
		Some men are into really big women, really tall women.
		Some men are into little tiny ones.
		Whatever the fuck you're into, man, I don't care.
		Why would anybody care?
		But back in the day, someone decided that gay dudes are against God's way.
		How did that originally start?
		It's Old Testament, right?
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, it's Old Testament.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Does it exist in pre-Christianity?
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, it does.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Homophobia does?
unidentified		Yeah.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Where does it exist?
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		You do have it in a bunch of places.
		Well, also the same places at different points in time maybe completely change their tune dramatically.
		But you do have it in places and times other than Christian stuff.
		Like in a lot of Chinese culture, not exactly friendly toward homosexuality.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		But the Japanese, oddly enough, especially the Samurais, were very friendly with homosexuals.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Japanese are freaks.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		That's a whole different game.
unidentified		Every weird thing about sex is in play.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		From octopuses doing schoolgirls to everything else in between.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		The Japanese were bad motherfuckers.
		Their culture was so innovative when it came to so many different things.
		The discipline, the controlling of the mind, all the different innovations in martial arts.
		So much of it came from Japan.
		So much of it.
		When you think about how small Japan is in relation to the rest of the world, it's really kind of shocking.
		Japan is like the size of Texas, right?
		Not even.
		Not even the size of Texas.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, Texas is freaking huge.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, Texas.
		I think Japan might be a fairly small area in comparison to one of our good-sized states.
		And meanwhile, think about how much shit came from there.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		It's amazing.
		It's weird how that happens.
		So one spot...
		What kind of religion were they practicing when...
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Shinto.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Shinto.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		And what is that based on?
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Shinto is like basically animism.
		So worship of nature, spirits, and stuff like that.
		They only even started calling it Shinto.
		It literally means the way of the gods.
		Only when Buddhism came around.
		Just because it's like, I guess we have to call our shit something to differentiate it from Buddhism.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		What year was this?
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Buddhism came around, I want to say 1200s...
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		I want to say 1200 to Japan.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		A.D. or B.C.? Oh no, A.D. A.D. And so 1200 A.D., that's not that long ago, man.
unidentified		No.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		That's crazy.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Maybe a little bit before, but that's Buddhism in Japan.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Buddhism in general was about 500 before, like 2500 years ago or so.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Where does Buddhism originally come from?
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		What country?
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		India.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		India.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, you start out in India and then it diffuses through...
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		But the weird thing is that today there's no Buddhism in India.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Really?
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Or like tiny, tiny.
		Because what happens is, well, beside Muslim invasions in the north to destroy a bunch of temples and all that shit, but then the way Hinduism reacts to it is brilliant.
		In the West, when Protestantism comes out of Catholicism, they kill each other for 200 years.
		When Buddhism comes out, Hinduism starts checking out what they do, and then they steal a bunch of their ideas, they bring them back into their thing.
		So if somebody's Hindu, they see the Buddhist thing, it's like, oh, we already do some of that shit, I don't need to switch religions.
		So they just blatantly borrow from it, and so less and less people in India had any need to convert, because they could find room for that stuff within Hinduism.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Oh, that's sort of how Christianity absorbed a lot of pagans with changing their holidays.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Like the Christmas religion or the Christmas holiday and making that Jesus' birthday when Jesus is really supposed to be born in June or something, right?
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		It's like a pagan holiday.
		But the difference is that in Christianity, they lie about it.
		They try to pretend it doesn't happen.
		In Hinduism, they're like, Yeah, that's cool.
		That was a good idea and we borrowed it.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		They're smart.
		The Buddhists had a lot of fucking cool ideas.
		What was it about Buddhism that was so...
		There's no other religion that I know that is so intent on the cleansing of consciousness.
		And the purity of thought, the idea of meditation and isolating your consciousness to clear out all these impractical ideas like material wealth and the need for sexual satisfaction.
		All those different things managed through Buddhism.
		That's very rare that...
		An ideology takes on such a strong and disciplined stance about expanding consciousness.
		How did that start?
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Buddhism starts out as a mystical movement, right?
		It's totally about mystical techniques designed to take you to a certain state of consciousness.
		That's why the whole point of Buddhism is not to become a Buddhist.
		It's to become a Buddha.
		It's not like worship the guy who did it.
		Good for you.
		Well, who cares?
		How does that affect you?
		It's about Being able to do the same thing that the guy did.
		And so meditation in that sense is one of those techniques designed to take you there.
		To bring you to that state of consciousness and turn you into a Buddha essentially.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		That's a fascinating thing because that's sort of the case with anything that you're trying to achieve.
		Whether you're doing martial arts or you're doing art or anything.
		You're trying to...
		Find your own path through the example of others.
		And that's one of the things that's really important about being around bad motherfuckers.
		People don't understand.
		They really underestimate the importance of being around bad motherfuckers.
		You've got to know what other people are capable of, what they can do, in order to be truly, in my experience, to be truly inspired.
		And when you find people that are, like, jealous around bad motherfuckers or try to hold people down, if you find, like...
		If you have friends and those...
		Like, okay, just to you, whoever you are, if you're a cockblocker, if you're one of those guys that tries to fuck your friends' girlfriends or you get jealous when your friend's successful and you talk shit about him behind his back and you stab him in the back...
		You're just fucking yourself.
		If you see some guy and he's doing better than you, you either have to accept one or two things.
		You've got to go, that guy is crazy.
		He works too hard.
		Because there is that.
		There is that.
		There's a lot of jealousy that's misplaced.
		Because really that person probably doesn't have as good a life as you if you know some good fishing spots.
		But if you start feeling negative feelings towards them because they're successful, that's...
		That's bad for you, man.
		The negative feelings that you're feeling towards him, they will fucking affect you.
		They will come after you.
		They will chip away at your self-esteem.
		Your mind will know that you're thinking about...
		Like when you – like I've seen this before where a guy becomes like real successful.
		Like at the comedy store, it was always like some guy would get a movie or something or a series and take off.
		Then you see other comics.
		They're like, yeah, well, he's got a show now, man.
		This fucking guy's got a show.
		Meanwhile, they were like buddies just like a month ago.
		And this guy – somehow or another, that guy's success is causing this dude uncomfortable feelings.
		And so what he does is lashes out at the person who's successful.
		You're lashing out at yourself.
		You gotta take your medicine.
		That feeling that you get when you know that you haven't done the best you can do, that's to keep you from doing that again.
		That terrible feeling of regret.
		Don't lash out at other people.
		Just take your fucking medicine and get your shit together.
		Easier said than done.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Totally easier said than done because then you have to do something rather than whine like a bitch about what somebody else is doing.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
		Yeah, it's the management of your energy.
		That is the most important aspect of living this life.
		Managing your energy and managing to keep it somehow, keeping your thoughts, keeping your consciousness, your focus in a good direction, in a healthy direction.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		How do you do it?
		Because I mean, I was going over, in my mind, I was like, how many damn things does Joe do?
		You know, from comedy to the podcast, UFC, you know, like there's some, you work out religiously, you do all this stuff.
		They're like, Literally, how the hell do you do it with 24 hours in a day staying semi-sane?
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Everything I do I like to do.
		That's the big part of it.
		I was looking forward to this podcast.
		It was going to be a lot of fun.
		I'm looking forward to going to jiu-jitsu.
		I'm looking forward to working out.
		I'm looking forward to writing tonight.
		I'm going to get some writing.
		I'm looking forward to getting in the tank later.
		I don't do anything.
		I love working for the UFC. I look forward to the big fights.
		I look forward to the little fights that nobody even cares about.
		I love what I do.
		The thing that makes me the happiest in life is that I've found all these things that interest me.
		I know we all have different personalities.
		We had Tim Ferriss here yesterday and that motherfucker likes the salsa dance, okay?
		I don't get it.
		I don't get it, but I love Tim Ferriss.
		So, I found things that stimulate me, for whatever reason, and those are the things that I pursue.
		So, I'm constantly motivated and energized by my activities.
		All the things that I do, like, I've had jobs before, and even a job like Fear Factor, which was a great job, still, I would be like, what the fuck am I doing here, man?
		Right.
		Collecting a check.
		This is not what I would rather be doing.
		If you could figure out a way to live your life where everything you're doing is what you want to do at that moment, that's a really difficult thing to manage.
		I have to think that...
		I know that I've worked very hard, but I think I'm very fortunate.
		There's no question about it.
		There's a lot of fortune involved in that.
		There's no way it's all my work.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		But it's both.
		I mean, fortune can play a role, but it's not going to happen unless you do the work either.
		It goes both ways.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
		I think everybody has their own take on what life is really all about, what it is for them.
		You've got to find out what your thing is.
		Whether it's studying ancient religions, or some people, they get their fucking thrills out of combing a mountainside with a brush looking for fossils.
		That thrills them to no end.
		Everybody's got their own fucking vibe, and If you want to be a happy person, you've got to find your vibe.
		That, to me, has always been the biggest problem that I have with any sort of totalitarian or any sort of really strict ideology.
		You cannot apply the same rules and the same behavior patterns to everybody.
		Because when you do that, you lose the beauty of the freak.
		We're talking about Joey Diaz today, me and my friend Aubrey.
		We're having a conversation about Joey, about how awesome he is.
		He's just such a rare person.
		He's just such a rare freak.
		He's just a crazy dude.
		I can't get him into other countries because he fucking, back in the day, kidnapped a dude.
		Machine gun, stole coke from him.
		He's crazy!
		He can't go to Seattle.
		He's got warrants.
		I mean, he's a maniac, but he's a beautiful craziness.
		Like, all his nutty life experiences, both positive and negative, have...
		You made this incredible person that you really...
		He's a joy to be around.
		And he's a beautiful human being.
		He's always hugging people and everywhere he goes, he's like your number one fan.
		He's happy to see you.
		He's the type of guy that'll go to the same places in his neighborhood all the time.
		As soon as he walks in, they all know him.
		They're like, Joey, what's going on, Joey?
		What are you doing, cocksucker?
		What are you doing?
		And they're just like this burst of happiness because this guy's around.
		Well, you know, if you follow the tenets of most religions, that guy's, you know, he's a fucking sinner by the highest stretch of the imagination.
unidentified		Right.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		The furthest explanation of the term, you know, like to a T. He's a fucking sinner across the board.
		Everything he's doing is wrong except being nice to people.
		Smoking weed and whacking off.
		It's fucking crazy!
		Living with 11 cats!
		You can't control people and get those variables, you know?
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		No, I mean, the stuff you find within the rules is the ordinary.
		If you want the extraordinary, it's gonna be outside of the rules.
		That's just the name of the game.
		But of course, any institution is threatened by that, and so they'll try to squash it and not make it happen.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Like in school.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Of course.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Like when you're in school, they don't want any acting out.
		They don't want anybody who's not.
		That's the weirdest thing about school is that just by virtue of the fact that you have to sit there and do the work when they say you have to sit there and do the work.
		Just by virtue of that, they control your consciousness and you relinquish your consciousness to them.
		And that sets you up for a lifetime of work where you're doing what you don't want to do when they want you to do it.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, because I mean, realistically, school is not about educating and also a human being.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		It's designed to make you function in an average way in this society.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		While educating you.
		But that's the primary aspect.
		I mean, it certainly educates you more than not going to school.
unidentified		Sure.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		No, yeah, okay.
		Because that's the other thing.
		It's like when you hear the anti-intellectualism as the crazy fundamentalist, it's like, no, please give me back the schools any day now.
		But then when you are in it, then you get to talk shit about it.
		And so you can see all the limits and all the problems and all that.
		It could be so much better than it is.
		And it's frustrating when you see its limits.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Well, you are a professor of religion.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, history in general.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		History in general.
		And you wrote something recently that I read where it seemed like you just had a really frustrating moment or you had to release yourself with your writing about academia.
		What did you say?
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		There's nothing like having an open letter to an academic college and quoting Tupac.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Fuck you and your motherfucking mama.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Is that what you did?
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		That's the end of the long letter.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		It sounds so beautiful with your accent, though.
		There's a lot of people that go, hey man, who's that guy who sounds like GSP? They think you sound like GSP, which is ridiculous.
		I don't think, I don't see it.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		He's French.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		He's not the same thing.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Well, that's Americans for you, man.
		Anything that's not like us, I don't even know, some fucking French or some shit.
		Guy could be speaking in Arabic.
		Yeah, he's fucking Frenching it up over there.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		I think I told you that before.
		One time a guy asked me, oh, where are you from?
		He's like, oh, you're from Italy?
		You're from Italy?
		No way.
unidentified		I was just in Paris last week.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Oh, wow.
		I live on earth.
		So when you wrote this and you quoted Tupac in this open letter to Academia, just tell us what the letter said.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		I was pissed.
		I was just frustrated, which is, um, most of the time I'm not because I'm hanging out with students and students are awesome.
		I, you know, 99% of my students have a great time hanging out.
		They are fun, makes good for conversation.
		That's the part of school I like.
unidentified		Right.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		I'm frustrated by all the rest, the administration and, uh, bullshit that's around.
		I mean, I noticed the, my teaching students are always ecstatic.
		Oh man, you're doing such a good job.
		Sometimes I'm like, really?
		Because I was having a really shitty day and I feel like I gave you crap.
		That's good?
		Like, yeah, yeah, this is awesome.
		I'm like, no.
		But then I look in the next class and I look at what regular teaching looks like and it makes you want to shoot yourself because it's dry as hell.
		There's no attempt to connect it to real life.
		Academia is like its own little dead box for the most part.
		And the only reason why people read academic stuff is because somebody's forcing them to Because nobody's gonna go out and buy that book and spend it on Saturday night.
		You know, the problem with academia is that it's populated 90% by people who spend their Saturday night shining their PhDs and devising new ways to squeeze all joy out of learning.
		Because that's what they do.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		But they don't really want to squeeze all the joy out of learning.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		They just are not motivated to make learning more exciting?
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		I think it's who they are.
		They are joyless motherfuckers, and so they transmit that to their students, and they don't know how to think in any other way.
		And part of it is the institution, part of it is the repetition, part of it, whatever that may be, but there's...
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Is part of it just the idea of just going to school for a long time yourself and that you sort of get used to this fact, this cold hard fact that you have to do things you don't want to do?
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Probably that, I'm sure that has a lot to do with it.
		You come to accept the norms of, like in any field, when they school you into the field and they try to mold you in what the expert look like, they are basically trying to squash your individuality, exactly the things you were saying about Joey, you know, the stuff that makes you you that's wild and weird and That all gets to be squashed in the name of becoming a professional.
		And so academia does that as well.
		You know, grad school is a mind-ambient torture for the most part.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		The world is going to be all newscasters.
		It's going to be people with no real opinions, that will never say anything, that will offend anybody.
		They're just fucking bullshitting their way through life until their ticker stops.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		But to give an idea of how low the bar is about this stuff, because that's exactly, the scenario you're describing is exactly what happens.
		To give an idea of how low the bar is, the first day of classes, any semester I teach, first day, I'll go in, I'll put on red hot chili peppers, and I'll give out the syllables, shaking hands with people.
		Not a big deal, right?
		All you did is press play for some music and shook hands with another human being for two seconds each.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		How many people are in your class?
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Maybe 50 or something.
		So, you know, five minutes of a song, you get to shook hands with everybody, then you start.
		Before I even start, I'm like 10 steps ahead because people are like, No professor ever shook my hand.
		And I'm like, are you kidding me?
		You know, that's the big deal that one person play music and shake hands before you even get started.
		That sets you apart.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Wow.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		That's sad.
		You know, that's just...
		But I've seen it.
		I mean, I've co-taught with some people who first day of classes, they walk into a class.
		And I'm like, hello students, my name is Dr. And right there for me the semester is over.
		Because it's like, your name is not Dr. anything, you dick.
		Your name is Joe whatever.
		It's like you already put on the title and put on this big pretence to create a separation with students.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		I need that in my life.
		I need to be a doctor.
		Can I get an honorary doctorate somewhere?
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		I'm sure you can.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Dr. Rogan.
		If there's anybody out there.
		Yeah, it is.
		Any distinction.
		Mr. Sir.
		When I used to teach Taekwondo, everybody was Mr. It was Mr. O'Malley, Mr. Smith, Mr. Kim.
		It's very formal.
		Whenever they address you, yes sir, no sir, it's always sir.
		That immediately puts that air of them being above you.
		It's very cultish, a lot of martial arts behavior.
		And it's managed in a good way, so it's beneficial and it's good for your character.
		But the same aspects of it easily can be manipulated.
		And we all know martial arts...
		Of course.
		And you have been for a long time.
		We all know, like, there's always stories of, like, it's always, like, a guy is molesting his students, like a young teenage girl that's, like, you know, learning under him or, you know, that kind of a situation.
		Like, very similar to the type of situations where you would have, like, preachers would do something like that or professors.
		There's always professors that are banging their students and scandals will arise where they give preferential treatment to girls who give head.
		It's a story as old as time, right?
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		I'm going to keep my mouth shut about that.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Come on, son.
		Come on, son.
		You're a beautiful guy.
		You've got a great accent.
		You know how to kick a little ass?
		I bet they throw it at you, son.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		There was one time this was the most weird.
		I laughed for like an hour after that.
		There was at the end of the semester.
		I mean, I'm an easy grader as it is.
		I give A's left and right.
		And there was this girl who really did horrible.
		And there was nothing I could do to push her up.
		It's like, you're really fucked up.
		I mean, you're getting...
		I forget, a C with me, which is basically you didn't do shit.
		It's like, really?
		And I kid you not, she's like, what do I need to do for a higher grade?
		And I'm like, oh, you know, I think it's...
		I'm like still trying to check where she's going.
		And then at one point she looks at me and she's like, oh, come on, you know you want it.
unidentified		Oh, shit!
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Dude, my dick would have exploded in my pants like a firecracker.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		I would have probably bled out from my dick.
unidentified		You should have called her bluff and just shoved your finger right up in her pussy and see if it was...
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, what do you think...
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		First of all, what'd she look like?
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		No, unfortunately she wasn't hot.
unidentified		God damn it!
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Shit!
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		So why was she so confident?
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Rewind, rewind.
		No, she was super hot.
		I don't want to ruin your fantasy.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Oh, you ruined it already, man.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Sorry, sorry.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		My memory's not that bad.
unidentified		She was in a wheelchair.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Damn it!
		Dude, how much did she weigh, at least?
		Did she have a nice body?
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, she wasn't big.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		She wasn't big.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		She wasn't big.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Regular size.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Size-wise, she was okay.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		So that was the only one in your entire academic career?
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		No, no.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		I mean, but that was the most...
unidentified		Don't be silly, Joe.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		That was the most blatant...
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Excuse me.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		That was blatant and funny.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		You know what I mean?
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Right, right, right.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Because most people are cool about it.
		They are flirting with you, but it's...
		It wasn't even about flirting.
		It was, I want a higher grade.
		That's it.
unidentified		She didn't give a crap on any level.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		That's hilarious, man.
		Are you cognizant of that when you talk to girls?
		Do you have this unfair advantage over them as a professor?
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I mean, bottom line is you don't want to be a dick.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Right, right, right.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		You don't want to be a dick with anybody.
		So I break the rules all the time.
		But kind of like what you're saying about, Joey, is like nobody's ever going to get hurt by me.
unidentified		Right, right, right.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		So the fact that I break rules to me doesn't mean shit because they must be stupid rules.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		If nobody gets hurt, if I break them, then why are there rules to begin with?
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Because we need bureaucracy to keep people employed.
unidentified		Exactly.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		So all that crap about, oh, you're not supposed to hug your students because that would be sexual harassment or some shit, I totally ignore it, but at the same time, yeah, you want to be careful with people.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		You're not hurting anybody, just hugging people.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, absolutely.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		How many teachers wind up banging girls in class?
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Well, because obviously...
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Is it illegal?
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Well, it's highly...
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		They lose their job immediately.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Do they really?
unidentified		Yeah, of course.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		What if she's like 23?
unidentified		Yeah.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Tough shit.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Tough shit.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		You can't bang your students.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		No, I mean, it's obviously legal if you're talking high school or something when you're talking underage.
unidentified		No, no, no.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		I'm talking college students.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		I'm talking people in their 20s.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		It's legal, so nobody's going to put you in jail or something, but you're going to get fired by your university.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Really?
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Because it's against their policies.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		What if she has big tits?
		What if she's hot as fuck?
		No, for real.
		What if she's like Pamela Anderson looking and you're like, look, I'm single.
		She's single.
		I taught her some English.
		She sucked my cock.
		We had a good time.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Come on!
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		You should be my lawyer.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Well, it seems like, you know, just because you're teaching somebody, I mean, what if you give her a B? Give her a fucking B. Come on.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Not even being unreasonable.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		So their standard is you can't date while class is in session.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Oh, okay.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Or, you know, the 16 weeks or whatever.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Exactly.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Why would you date her after class is over?
		When class is over, we're going to meet the next group of kids.
		Hopefully there's another hot 23-year-old.
		And keep this party rolling.
		They're a bunch of cock blockers.
		That's what it is.
		No, you can't.
		You really can't.
		You can't bang your students, right?
unidentified		No.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		What about dudes?
		Are they allowed to bang dudes?
		Like, what if you're gay and you've got some gay kids?
		Or some really gullible straight dudes that are willing to...
		Is that the same thing?
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		No sex with boys, too?
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Or fellas?
		Unfortunate.
		Silly.
		That's fucking goddammit.
		Wouldn't it be great if we just had teachers that wouldn't do anything creepy?
		Wouldn't that be way simpler?
		Right.
		We'd need...
		It's not going to happen.
		Is it possible to ever get to a position where you have an enlightened group of people that are teaching students in this open and friendly way where we actually have a group of people that come out of these classes and can contribute to society?
		Is that possible?
		You're in the inside.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Right.
		I don't know, man, because the point is good teaching means it's who you are.
		It's not a skill that you pick up because you read enough books or some shit.
		It's part of an extension of who you are and you do it in a certain way.
		So you can design the perfect university, the perfect college, the perfect teaching environment.
		The reality is it all boils down to who's in there, who are the people there, because that's what makes all the difference.
		No matter how you design it, if you have the perfect setup with the wrong people, it's not going to work.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		That's the case with everything, right?
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, absolutely.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		It's always amazing to me when you show up at a place and it's like one place and they specialize in cheese.
		And you go there and everyone's a cheese expert and they're all super knowledgeable and they're really nice and friendly and it's like a small family business and all the pieces are in place.
		How is this even possible?
		How can you get this perfect environment, even if it's just a small cheese store?
		And is it possible to get that on a grand scale, like a university?
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		But that's why even the single small case usually works during that first generation with the energy of the people who put it in there, who made the place amazing.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Rarely you're gonna go three generations down the road and the same thing is gonna be going on.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, that seems to be because they didn't have to work for it, right?
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		It's sort of like us.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Partial is that, and partial is also who they are.
		They're not as creative, or they're not as funny, or they're not as smart, or they're not as whatever.
		And somebody else down the road is not going to be, because you're not going to have generations after generations of perfect people.
		And it's individual in that sense.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, when I look at people and when I look at the greater historical picture that we have of the human race, and you see all these peaks and valleys and peaks and valleys of civilization and decline.
		It seems to me like it's really hard for people to figure something out and then pass it on to other people with the same impact as them figuring it out themselves.
		So you have all these accomplishments of the people that came before you, like running water and electricity, but yet they're being enjoyed by people who don't even understand them a little bit.
		Wow.
		Really can't appreciate the position of excellence and amazement that you really should be in in this 2012 era.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Can you imagine if we were in a post-apocalyptic scenario, if somebody is born after that and you have to explain what society now was like?
		Yeah, you know, we could talk into this microphone and there were like half a million people listening across.
		It's like, ow.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		What?
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Exactly.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		No way.
		It's because internet.
		I don't know.
		Some shit.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		What people don't understand is how easy that could happen.
		We could go right back to the way things were just a few hundred years ago.
		That's a small, small skip.
		But it's easy.
		It's really easy.
		What we have is so fragile.
		I think they see something like Katrina...
		And they sort of get a sense of it.
		They see Sandy, Hurricane Sandy, and the Weeks Without Power, I think, opened up a lot of people's eyes.
		This motherfucker's way more fragile than you think.
		We have a very, very fragile, sort of thin veil of civilization that we live under the illusion of.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		I mean, even if you look at something as simple as oil, which we base our old civilization that runs on oil right now, oil, I mean, we know that it's not going to last that long.
		We don't know exactly how long.
		It could be a century, which case, you know, it doesn't affect us.
		It could be, who the hell knows.
		But the bottom line is, it's running out.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		But it will affect your grandchildren.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, big time.
		After it's gone.
		But at the same time, we haven't even gotten a good substitute.
		And so it's like, we're running on this, on a society where right now it's, It's on a dead train, you know.
		It's heading somewhere where there's no...
		Unless somebody figures something out.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, well, I think that, yeah, we actually had this discussion yesterday, the idea of the race.
		There's a race, like, society is running out of resources, and we're, you know, living in this crazy sort of, still this barbaric conqueror sort of a way.
		Stealing resources from other nations.
		But at the same time, technology and the connectedness of human beings is reaching like epic levels that it's never reached before.
		And it's one of the reasons why it's making it so much more difficult to govern.
		Because it's really hard to bullshit people.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Oh man, I got a story for you.
		This is gonna...
		It blew my mind the other day when I got these emails.
		I was speaking of this ability to connect with people on a greater scale and all of that that you're mentioning.
		I got an email maybe four or five days ago when the very beginning of the Israeli-Palestinian thing that just started.
		I get this email from this guy in Israel who tells me he just ran into a bomb shelter and he's just hanging out there for the time being.
		And he has to say, you know, I have enough food, I have enough water, but what I'm doing to kill time in the meantime is Joe Rogan Experience, Duncan Trussell podcast, and my podcast.
		And I was like, fuck.
		I really are in a bunker in Israel with missiles flying, and they are telling me that.
		That already blows my mind.
		Now, a day later, or two days or something, I got an email from some guy, Palestinian guy, who lives in France, who tells me all about, oh, I like this thing you did, da-da-da, and then he started getting about, You know, I'm really freaked out about my family in Gaza.
		I'm super scared.
		And, you know, you might want to know that what I'm doing right now to be able to chill out a second and not freak out about these things is I'm listening to you, I'm listening to Rogue, and I'm listening to Trusted.
		I'm like, you've got to be fucking kidding me, right?
		You know, one Israeli guy, one Palestinian guy basically telling me the exact same thing.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Whoa.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		I was like, I didn't even know what to say.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		You know, he was...
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Holy shit.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, that's exactly...
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, with youthful societies in this day and age, like the youth of societies in this day and age, they have a perspective that really was never achievable before.
		And they have an access to things like podcasts and the internet and websites.
		There's not as much difference between people as there used to be.
		There's just not...
		I mean, in that way.
unidentified		Yeah.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		It's hard to sell people on the idea of an enemy that you don't even know, that you never met.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		That's the beauty of globalization in a cultural level and rather in an economic level is the fact that, yeah, nationalism is going to go down.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		All these bullshit stereotypes about the people from across any border will become easier to know real shit rather than made-up facts that nobody got to test anyway because you never got to see them.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, it's funny how everyone's scared of the idea of the new world order.
		You know, everybody's scared of the idea of one global government.
		Like, I remember there's this big thing, McCaffrey on CNN was talking about the Amero, that we're going to merge with Mexico and Canada, and that's why they're crashing the economy in order for us to come up with an Amero, and then we have one currency for the entire region.
		I'm like, how is that fucking you any less than you're getting fucked up?
		Are you going to really trip out about that?
		Right.
		It seems like Guantanamo Bay would be the same.
		Would Guantanamo Bay be the same if it was one world government?
		If we really want to call ourselves the shining hope for civilization, how do we have something like Guantanamo Bay?
		How do we take these dudes and put blindfolds on them and fucking dog collar them behind their hands?
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		You know, one of the things that cracks me up about, well, maybe cracks me up is the wrong word after mentioning Guantanamo, but in any case, one of the things that's Weird to me is, I'll take an example of the United States government.
		People are either flag-waving, we are the greatest country on earth kind of shit, or usually when they start finding out that no, it's not all beautiful and you start finding out, oh, we just happened to kill a few hundred thousand Indians and enslave a bunch of people and, you know, set up a military coup in Chile and did all this shit in Guatemala.
		You know, all of the ugly stuff of American history.
		People flip and they're like, The only evil in the world is the U.S. government and everybody else who's against it must be nice.
		So if some crazy fundamentalist is nice...
		No, they're just misunderstood, really.
		It's like, fuck, man.
		It's not all black and white.
		It's not that there's all that good guys, bad guys stories.
		It gets more complicated than that.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Well, that's why people are terrified of someone like that American Taliban guy that decides the United States is evil and is going to join the Taliban.
		Yeah.
		It's like people, they have a very simplistic view of the world that's shaped by fiction.
		And fiction has ruined many a mind to the complexities of the actual real reality that we live in.
		Because most fiction is being distributed in a way that I don't think the human brain is designed to process.
		Like...
		The idea of movies.
		The human body does not know what the fuck to do with movies.
		And that's one of the reasons why they're so amazing to us.
		When you go see something like Avatar, and then you leave the theater and you have Avatar depression, that shit's real.
		People have Avatar depression because they wish that life could be like it is in Navia, wherever the fuck it is.
		Where is it?
		Navia?
		Yeah.
		Guess what?
		It's not even real in Navia.
		Okay, you fucked?
		Navia's not real, goddammit.
		But we imitate our atmospheres.
		We're set up to do that.
		You know, if I live in a tribe and Daniele Bolelli's there, I want to listen to Daniele Bolelli because this guy's got the information.
		He's the head of the tribe.
		Let's follow him.
		And we can learn from him, and it allows us to learn things without having to fucking risk getting eaten by boars ourselves.
		Like, we understand.
		We get the knowledge of that from you.
		And then we see things, and we see things.
		Like, something happens to somebody, and it's a shocking thing, and you learn from it.
		You see drama and all these different various things that we're set up.
		We have, like, all these...
		Reward systems in our mind, in our body, in our human system that are set up to sort of interpret all these different things that are happening in the world and place them in a way that allows you to stay alive the longest, to breathe the most effectively.
		But when you sit someone down in front of a movie screen, All those triggers and all those reward systems and all those different things that you have that have passed human beings from generation to generation until they've gotten to this point.
		All those things that are set up to reward you for certain things in the material world are being manipulated by giant HD screens and THX sound and fucking perfectly written scripts and special effects and CGI. And then, you know, you really think that there's fucking good guys and bad guys out there.
unidentified		Of course.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		You start, you know, thinking, this is America, okay?
		And these colors don't run.
		You start getting crazy.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		That's why I like modern, like the last decade or two of television, because it's changing the rules of the game.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		You know, you go from your traditional good guys, bad guys story, to now you have, you know, shows like Dexter, where the hero is the serial killer, or the Sopranos, or even something like Game of Thrones.
unidentified		Yeah.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		You got this...
		The good guys are awesome and they do horrendous things occasionally.
		The bad guys, you hate their guts, except that they do something really cool all of a sudden that throws you off.
		That's more like life.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Much more like life.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		I started watching Homeland last night.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		How is it?
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Pretty fucking good.
		I had heard from a lot of people that it's really good.
		They said, dude, that's like a movie every week.
		It's like a really good movie every week.
		And I heard from so many different people.
		I was like, okay, I've got to give this a shot.
		So I watched the pilot last night.
		It's fucking good.
		That dude, I don't know.
		I should Google it because I don't know Homeboy's name.
		Whoever the guy is, it's the lead.
		That guy was in that Stephen King movie, Dreamcatcher.
		Really good movie for about three quarters of the movie, and then it fucking falls apart all over itself.
		Shits all over itself.
		But the guy who's the lead guy is this same dude.
		What is his name?
		Damien Lewis.
		He's one of those guys, you've seen him in a million fucking movies, a million TV shows, but you don't know who the hell he is.
		He's been in everything, but that guy can act his fucking ass off.
		And it's that other chick, what is her name, Claire Danes, who plays crazy very well.
		It's pretty fucking good, dude.
		It's a good show.
		I just started it last night.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		I've been addicted to The Walking Dead lately.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, Duncan can't stop talking about that shit.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Not enough days in the world, man.
unidentified		I know.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Not enough time to be sitting around watching all this amazing shit that people are producing.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Speaking of TV, but all of this is a pale, you know, it's...
		It's tiny steps preparing you for the real shit.
		The day when, in 2030 or whatever, Joe and I will sit down to read the real Conan, the way it's supposed to be done for television.
		That would be a good day.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I think we're doing it now, man.
		Just doing this and doing...
		I mean, this is...
		This forum, the complete open free forum, like a real complete open free forum.
		This is what has been missing.
		In our society for a long fucking time.
		You could not get any mass distributed product, whether it was a television show or a radio show.
		You really couldn't get anything that had as few rules as what podcasts have.
		And have the ease of distribution the way they have.
		I mean, like we were talking about a guy in Palestine and a guy in Israel, and he's listening to these podcasts in a bunker.
		It's fucking crazy.
		That didn't exist before.
		There was no way for those guys to be exposed to all these different ideas.
		And expose us to all these different ideas, too.
		One of the cooler things about what's going on with this experience of podcasting and social media, for me personally...
		It's very much a two-way street.
		I get a lot of feedback and a lot of information and a lot of fuel from the people in social media, just from articles to read or interesting points that someone might have, whether they disagreed with me or whether they had an alternative point of view that you might also want to consider this.
		A lot of fucking like-minded, cool, interesting people are out there.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		No, in fact, man, I actually, without kissing your ass, but I have to thank you to no end because ever since being on your podcast the first time and then jumping on Duncan's podcast and so on, it really opened up my world exactly to what you're saying, realizing that there are a bunch of people around the world who may be, you know, the weird freak of the little place where they live where it doesn't mix with everyone else.
		But thanks to internet, you can click and connect with a greater, bigger world that It's awesome what you put in touch with.
		In many ways, without sounding too flamboyant, it really makes me feel better about humanity, finding out that that stuff is out there.
		I don't know, man.
		I think it really blew my mind after being on your show the first time and then being invited again.
		We're beginning to realize that there are other ways of communicating beside the ones I'm familiar with and the effect that it has on people.
		Real effect, you know, real shit that people...
		Those are the best emails, right?
		When people write you stuff that happened to them, how they dealt with or how something random that you said in five minutes on a podcast affected somebody in Australia and that was a huge thing for their life.
		And you're like...
		It's like the most humbling thing in the world, you know?
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
unidentified		Really?
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		It's beautiful.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		What we said there had that impact on your life?
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		It just makes you thankful.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		100%.
		Yeah, I'm incredibly thankful.
		I'm thankful to you.
		If it wasn't for people like you that I have these interesting conversations with, I wouldn't be able to do this either.
		If it was just me by myself, I repeat the same stories with guests.
		Imagine me by myself.
		This podcast would suck.
		I need people to talk to.
		And that's part of the beauty of having a podcast is that it If you look at human consciousness as sort of a, like, almost like, you know those, the computer programs, brains, you know, where, you know, you just have a thought and then all these branches off a thought.
		A lot of comedians use them to organize data, to organize jokes and segues and stuff like that.
		If you look at the human consciousness as one big sort of brain...
		What we've essentially done by having hundreds and hundreds of hours of this sort of open-minded, sometimes silly, but honest and friendly discussion is that you start this other branch and then boom, these things blossom off of this branch.
		Whether it's the Duncan Trussell podcast or the Joey Diaz podcast or Tom Segura's podcast, With his wife, Christina, whatever it is, your podcast, these branches break off and form their own branches and then it sort of attracts this group of people who get all this positive...
		Energy from these discussions and all this positive feedback, this resonance that you get from all these people that are really feeling excitement and joy and enjoyment from these discussions and it really does improve their life.
		It's almost like a sect of consciousness.
		We all know what we accept.
		We all know that this is good for everybody.
		We all know that there's a way to live life where you can be as friendly as possible whenever you can.
		It doesn't mean not calling people on their bullshit either, because by the way, they need that.
		And if someone calls you on your bullshit, you should go, take your fucking medicine and go, you know what, you're right.
		I was a douche there.
		I fucked up.
		I didn't mean to do that.
		It wasn't my intention.
		That's one of the most interesting things about having a forum like that.
		The ability to do that.
		The ability to create...
		Some big just network of human beings all connected to each other.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, which is, I mean, really you are literally throwing a rock and the ripples effect.
		You can't even begin to see them.
		And when they do come back at you, it's amazing.
		It's really like the stories you get are like, no fucking way.
		Really dark conversation in that particular day had that impact.
		It's weird, man.
		It's really mind-blowing.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, it's totally unexpected, too.
		That's the weird part about it.
		It sort of happened completely organically.
		Just like this podcast happened completely organically.
		I mean, before this podcast, I was just, you know, we were just doing stand-up, and I would write blogs a lot, and, you know, and every now and then we would do, like, a thing, I think we did it on Justin TV, where we would put a laptop online and all look through the web camera and go, what's up, bitch?
		You know, like, It was really stupid.
		But this sort of slowly but surely turned into what it is now.
		And now when I do these shows and I meet all these people that say, oh, it changed their life.
		I'm like, okay.
		I don't know how it happened.
		I don't know.
		But I obviously have an obligation here.
		It's obviously a lot bigger than me.
		So I've got to keep this ball rolling.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		But that's the way through.
		Because some people would see the exact same thing and feel like, I mean, God, damn, I have that effect on people.
		I am so cool.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		They're silly bitches.
		I try to, first of all, I try to bring as many other people through.
		The way I describe it is like we found a hole.
		We found a hole in the fence.
		What I'm trying to do is bring as many cool people through the hole as possible.
		And that's, to me, one of the most important aspects of...
		The position, like when you're in a position where people are paying attention, like they're paying attention to you, you should point out some stuff that you've seen.
		You know, whether it's really good bands or really funny people or really interesting things.
		So my whole approach to it, whether it's Twitter or anything, is constantly pointing out the things that I find fascinating and I find interesting.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		And even that, speaking of changing lives, how many doors do you open that way for somebody who maybe is exactly what we're describing earlier, somebody who's Awesome at what they do.
		They work hard.
		They are sensitive.
		They need that break of luck.
		One moment that opens one door that makes stuff happen for them.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		That's with me too.
		With all of us.
		We all need that.
		We all benefit from opportunities.
		And it's super important to provide opportunities if they're there.
		If you see...
		If I see someone like yourself, that's a fascinating, interesting guy.
		People need to hear you talk.
		Joey Diaz, any of these people that I bring myself around.
		I think it's a very strange time, and there's not that many people that have that ability.
		There's not that many people that have that position.
		It's sort of like a Johnny Carson for the internet.
		You know what I mean?
		Johnny Carson would introduce all these comedians to the world.
		Back in the day, man, if you got on the Johnny Carson show, it was fucking gigantic for your career.
brian redban ▲ ● ▼		Did you ever hear how he was kind of a jerk to most comics?
brian redban ▲ ● ▼		Like, if he didn't like you, he wouldn't even look at you.
unidentified		He wouldn't invite you to the couch.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		I've heard a lot of that, yeah.
		But also, I've heard that he was amazing to a lot of people, too.
		It makes me wonder, like, what would these people like that he was a jerk to?
		I don't know, you know?
		I don't, you know...
		I just used him as an example because he was always the guy who influenced comedians the most, helped comedians.
		And Rodney Dangerfield was another one.
		Rodney Dangerfield, what he did was he figured out that one of the best things that he could do with all of his fame was to introduce the world to other comedians.
		So that's how we found out about Dice Clay.
		That's how we found out about Sam Kinison.
		Rodney Dangerfield was the best at helping other people out and introducing the world to all these other talented people.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		And that goes back to what you were saying.
		Somebody may get jealous and shit.
		It's like, you are gaining popularity.
		Shit is going to take it away from me.
		You're a competitor.
		I need to squash you.
		That's so dumb.
		Precisely.
		And it's subdefeating in the end.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		I have had those feelings.
		Especially when I was a younger man, for sure.
		I was jealous of a lot of people that were better than me at things.
		It was just because I was dumb, and I didn't understand what the sensation was in my mind.
		And what the sensation was in my mind, it was a drive to be better.
		And instead of being better, I was trying to belittle the people who were better.
		Because that's a lot easier, right?
		Yeah, it was easier.
		It was an incorrect way of operating my mind.
		That's all it was.
		And the problem with that, though, is that you define yourself by the way you operate your mind.
		And that's how people get stuck in patterns.
		So that you define yourself by your past actions.
		And if they're unfortunate and undesirable and embarrassing, those things hurt you.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Right.
		Big time.
		And I mean, that's the thing, rather than having the balls of just owning your mistakes, you know, big deal, because everybody makes mistakes, everybody fucks up, and that's the beauty, because that's when you learn stuff.
		Rather than dealing with it like, hey man, whether I learn something from you or you learn something from me is a win anyway.
		You know, it's like, you win more in a way when you fuck up, because you're going to learn shit from it, and then you can move on and improve essentially as a human being.
		People get stuck over the embarrassment or, ooh, I messed up.
		I need to hide it.
		I need to squash it.
		I need not to see it.
		And it's like, great, then you're going to do it ten more times because you're not dealing with it now.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, barring physical limitations like horrific injuries or whatever, most of what you have in life that you go through that's very difficult is an opportunity to grow.
		It's hard for people to wrap their heads around that, but we all can do better.
		I'm not saying that every horrible thing that happens to you, you should be happy for them.
		No, but you can turn it into something that motivates you and benefits you.
		It's just really hard for people to do.
		It's really hard for people to just put in the fucking work.
		And it's hard to feel good about that.
		It's hard to feel good about putting in the work and doing difficult shit.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		But that's why, to me, it's funny because you've got either the people who try to rationalize every bad shit that happens and is all, it's, everything happens for a reason.
		It's in the name.
		And I just want to punch them in the face because it's like, come on, man.
		It's like, really?
		It's like, it's all about positive thinking.
		Yeah, let me give you some positive.
		It's like, come on.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		My friend hits me with that shit.
		I go, babies die in drive-by, dude.
		But they do.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Exactly.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		What happened?
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		The baby wasn't thinking positive?
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		There's some meaning in it.
		Now, there's no fucking meaning.
		So those guys piss me off.
		But at the same time, the depressive, cynical, oh, it's all bad and terrible.
		There's no meaning in anything.
		All this shit.
		It's like that just as self-defeatist, if not more.
		So to me, it's like a knowledge that not everything makes sense.
		A knowledge that bad shit happens for no good reason to good people.
		A knowledge that you'll deal with.
		Heartbreak, tragedy.
		Everybody dies.
		It doesn't get any bigger than that.
		And move on.
		Without necessarily saying that it's because of some deeper meaning, it's maybe because of nothing.
		But what can I gain from it now?
		What can I learn from it?
		Whether it happened for a good reason or a shitty reason, where do I move from here?
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, that's one of the hardest things for people to wrap their heads around, like an objective look at their situation.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		A lot of people are really good at giving advice, but they couldn't give themselves advice.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Of course.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Isn't that like, the worst is when someone's an idiot and they want to give you advice, and you're like, come on, man, stop it.
		Manage your own fucking situation, you dumbass.
		Yeah, thank you, guys.
unidentified		Thank you.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		The management of the human consciousness to me is one of the most important things that a person needs to learn in life.
		And one thing that they don't fucking teach you in school.
		That is one of the craziest things about school is that they don't teach you how to organize your mind and how to defeat negative thinking.
		And how to encourage positive thinking and build momentum with positive acts, how to reinforce those positive things, write things down that are doing well, celebrate them with each other, pass milestones.
		There's a reason why belts in martial arts exist for thousands of years.
		You fucking feel good when you get a belt.
		I remember when I got my blue belt, I was on a fucking television show, okay?
		And the only thing I thought about being on the television show was like, eh, this is kind of cool.
		I'm on TV. It's great.
		It's good money.
		I feel very fortunate.
		But it didn't give me the rush that I got when I got a blue belt.
		I was like, holy shit, I got a blue belt in jujitsu.
		I'm not a white belt anymore.
		You know, it's like, whoa!
		I fucking was beaming that day.
		I went home.
		I was all excited.
		Wow, I got my first belt.
		Like, this is awesome.
		Like, it was like a real positive feeling of moving forward.
		That's something that you...
		People need a discipline, man.
		They need a little something to do, whether it's writing or whether it's, you know, martial art or fucking...
		Just become a marathon runner.
		You need something where you push yourself so you can learn what you can do.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, and literally can be anything because it can be a physical discipline, can be an intellectual discipline, maybe even both, which would be ideal.
		But yeah, it's applying yourself to something.
		Because you're going to face the same challenges regardless of which specific field.
		Okay, maybe somebody's not going to punch you in the face when you're a painter or something.
		But the point being, you're still going to be dealing with disappointment, with the learning curve.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		With ego.
		There's going to be people who don't like your work and it's going to crush you.
		And they might be right.
		They might be right.
		Or they might be haters.
		You find out a lot about life dealing with people through your own discipline and people that are in similar disciplines.
		It's just that aspect of education is so lacking and so crazy when you really think about engineering a society, engineering the consciousness of a society, which is what education is really supposed to be about, really.
		Essentially, you're making sure that the future generations are capable of contributing.
		That's what you're doing.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		And the funny thing is that that's usually, there are exceptions, but that's usually the last possible concern when it comes to academic environments.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		It's crazy.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		What do students actually learn?
		I mean, I kid you not.
		I had people, shit, I remember a guy at UCLA once telling me he had a tenure-track job there and he was a professor and he was like, You know, this is a great gig if only I didn't have to teach.
		What?
		Because he primarily wanted to research and write in his stupid academic journal and do his thing and do that.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Be a loner weirdo.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, and interacting with students bothered him.
		And that's actually less rare than you would imagine.
		You know, there's actually a lot of those guys who are really comfortable in a pile of documents in some bureaucratic...
		They turn educational bureaucracy, which goes back to my fuck you and your motherfucking mama, because those are the people who kill the fun of it.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		But is that at all schools?
		Is that at Harvard?
		Is that the highest levels of education?
		What school can you say?
		Should you not say where you teach at?
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Probably shouldn't say.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Well, I teach multiple places, so it could be any one of them.
		Let's not say any names.
		But honestly, it's not even that personal.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		No?
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		You can't get in trouble?
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		No, I mean, it is.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Saying fuck you with your motherfucking mama and having it be a big deal?
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		No, what I meant to say is it's not personal in the sense that it could be them, it could be somebody, other faceless bureaucrat.
		It's a mentality.
		You know what I mean?
		It's not even like that single individual.
		If it's not that, it's another one.
		There's like...
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		So it's a lack of passion that disturbs you, a lack of a pursuit of excellence in teaching.
		And that, you think, is more common than not.
		There's exceptional teachers, but they're fairly rare.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Exactly.
		And I mean, you know, even exceptions, even a lot of exceptions, if you get like 20% of people who are good, that's awesome.
		That's actually good in a teaching environment, which when you think about it, you're really dealing with eight people who kind of suck, which is awful.
		But even that, I would sign up for it.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Well, you know, I think of it in terms of people that I started out doing open mic nights with.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		How many of them have gone on and actually become professional comedians?
unidentified		Right.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		I only know, out of all the people that I did it with, three.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Right.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		And two of them I'm still friends with, Chris McGuire and Greg Fitzsimmons.
		Those are two guys that I started out with that actually became professional comedians.
		And that's a tiny number compared to the amount of people that we actually knew from those days that were attempting to do it.
		So if you can get 20% of your students, and those students become...
		Proficient in whatever you're teaching, whether you're teaching history or mathematics or whatever.
		That's pretty fucking good.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Absolutely.
		And the thing is, thinking about the comedy example, imagine that the people you started with, there's no testing ground.
		There's no people laugh or not, think it's funny or not.
		So your career is not shaped by actual feedback, whether you're good or not.
		Your career is based on how well you stepped through the stupid academic hoops.
		Like getting the jobs has nothing to do with actual teaching skill.
		It's all about other crap.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Research.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		How good research, how good your CV looks, have you served in some subcommittee where you spent, you know, that kind of shit.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		But isn't that to encourage people to innovate and to keep coming up with new ideas and that the research is how we learn things?
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		In the sciences, I dig it.
		I see the point of it.
		In a lot of humanities, social science, the reality is that the so-called research is stuff written in this stuffy academic language that the only other people are going to read are eight other experts in the field that you might as well call them, right?
		And it's designed almost to be not something that's communicable to regular audiences because that makes you look cool and learned and all of that.
		And to me, that's the exact opposite of Communication Master.
		You know, Communication Master is taking really difficult ideas and translating them in ways that anybody can relate to, right?
		Making them digestible so that from any walk of life, you can see a connection to your life.
		This is taking it the exact opposite direction.
		It's making it weird and this pseudo-intellectual game for nerds with walking to a library 40 years ago and never saw the light of the sun again.
		Because that's the game, essentially.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		It's really difficult to take advice from a person who's not living a healthy life.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, exactly.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		You can learn certain things from them, but it should really be like the idea of the samurai.
		The samurai had to be a well-rounded person.
		You had to understand calligraphy and artwork.
		Having that one well-rounded unit would serve you in battle because you would be a person of character and clear thought.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Absolutely.
		And that's what education should be.
		Right.
unidentified		Right.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		But it's not, huh?
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Definitely.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		What percentage of teachers do you think are really innovating and trying to provide a better learning environment and trying to, like, You must have a bunch of professors that you are cool with.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		There are two levels.
		There's a fairly high number of people who are nice human beings, who mean well.
		There are a bunch of obnoxious, stuffy, bureaucrats.
		But there is a solid number of people who are made of nice human beings.
		They're just not brilliant human beings.
		They're not bad.
		They try.
		It's just their delivery, their ability to turn a light on inside the student's head is very limited.
		It's not because they're bad.
		It's, I don't know, whatever the fuck.
		It's almost like performance in that sense.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Is there any sort of a universal standard when it comes to, say, getting a PhD in applied mathematics or whether it's English or literature?
		Is there a standard amongst all the universities in the country?
		Or does each university sort of get together with its scholars and sort of figure it out themselves?
		This is what we think we should require of them in order for them to get a bachelor's degree.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		It's both.
		There are certain general standards that are expected, and then each school can push its policies in certain directions.
		So there are both things exist.
		But they're usually not based on what you're saying, in making you a better human being.
		That's not the goal of education.
		It's giving you a bunch of knowledge about stuff you didn't know about, which may be useful, and some people will be able to take a lot out of it and turn it into something that actually applies to life, or maybe useless crap that's invading your head for no good reason.
		There's no connection to real life a lot of the time.
		You know what I mean?
		That's the biggest problem.
		It remains, even when it's good, it's a theoretical game that's not designed to change how you get up from the seat and walk through class, how you are as a human being, how you feel.
		It's not designed to affect that.
		It's purely about knowledge for knowledge's sake.
		Which, you know, it has some good sides, but it also has some major limits right there.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		There's so many fucking things to know and learn.
		If you're just learning grammar, language, education, logic, mathematics, you start going over the various disciplines and the various things that a person can...
		There's not enough time in your young life to really put together an accurate piece of the world and then go out and be a part of it.
		That's the weirdest thing about school is that when most of my friends that graduated college, like right when they got out, that was like one of the weirdest times of their life where they were like, fuck, now what?
		You know?
		Now what?
		I've fucking been buried in books for all these years and trying to figure...
		And now I'm out there like, okie dokie.
		Like, here goes.
		Here goes nothing.
		It's almost like it's real hard to get a realistic view of the world before you're an adult.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Right.
		Yeah, I mean, before you get actual experience, you know what I mean?
		Doing stuff rather than being stuck in this intellectual game.
		And I mean, I'm a nerd, you know, I love to read like crazy.
		I love to know things about a million different subjects.
		So I'm far from advocating anti-intellectualism, far from it.
		But at the same time, to me, real intellect goes hand in hand with a certain relationship with your body.
		It's about both.
		You know what I mean?
		It makes you a more complete human being.
		It makes you better.
		Not only if you are an athlete and you're smart, We're probably going to be better at athletics, not only at the other stuff.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		As long as you don't have too much homework.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		That's right.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Fuck up your training.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		If you're a nerd and we live in this idea that your thoughts are really this gnome that's stuck in your head that's directing the machine of the body so that who you are physically doesn't really affect your consciousness, which is essentially what school tells you, right?
		Because, I mean, look at how people learn.
		You go sit into these really uncomfortable chairs facing forward.
		Your body wants to stretch.
		You want to move.
		You want to shake some energy.
		You can't.
		You're supposed to stay there.
		Listen.
		Listen to some bastard up there who's going blah, blah, blah, blah.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		What's the alternative?
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Integrating more consciousness.
		Affecting consciousness in it.
		So having things that are about giving a lot more importance to the body, to physical experiences.
		Not only as your two hours of PE somewhere, which is It's not about consciousness.
		It's about moving muscle and shit, which is nice, but it's not the same thing.
		It's also emphasizing how, through a whole variety of physical discipline, you can affect the mind, you can affect spirit, if you want to get that far.
		There's a connection between all these different things.
		Whereas we have this mentality that knowledge is about knowledge's sake, there's relatively no connection to your body, and very little connection to actually applying that knowledge in real life.
		To me, it's missing the point.
		If it doesn't improve the quality of your life, what the hell is the point?
		I don't mean just, oh, it needs to make the corn grow or some stuff.
		It could even intellectually improve the quality of your life because it makes you happy, because it makes you relate better to other human beings.
		Well, that has an effect on life.
		I'm talking about knowledge that just about in the year 1763 it is happened and there's no attempt to link it with why, what's the point, what's the lesson you can learn, what can you get out of it for your life.
		There's no effort whatsoever in that regard.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Is it because it's just too much information to give people and they don't have time for that aspect of it?
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Part of it, sure, sure, because there's a bunch of factual things you need to get, and they are less controversial, you know, there's no argument about the factual stuff, whereas when you're, quote unquote, trying to educate somebody, there's also an element of who are you?
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Are you a human being who has something to offer to somebody else, or are you some guy in a position of power who's trying to force his own more subjective thing on people?
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		So what you're telling me is academics and academia in general just needs more mushrooms.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		That's word by word what I was saying.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Precisely.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		I'm hearing they need a fresh perspective and a psychedelic outlook.
unidentified		I think I'm going to have a mushroom Thanksgiving this year.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		It's a good move, dude.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		If I wasn't with my kids, I would do it.
unidentified		I'm in San Diego, so I might stay an extra day.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Holla!
		Don't say that, man.
		They'll find you in San Diego.
		They got a mushroom sniffing dog.
		It's right near the fucking military base.
		The last thing they want is mushrooms in the military.
		That is the last thing you need when you're in the military is mushrooms.
		You need amphetamines and steroids.
		You don't need mushrooms.
unidentified		Right.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Okay?
		We're out there.
		You want to come home safe?
		Mushrooms are for later.
		Flash rooms are for when you get back.
		I've talked to a lot of dudes who are in Afghanistan who listen to the podcast over there.
		A lot of the troops listen to the podcast over there.
		And it's a weird conversation, you know.
		I've had a bunch of them with dudes after shows.
		I go, listen, man, you don't even know, but you guys kept me sane when I was over there.
		That's another strange responsibility for people that are in such a tough position, like to be over at war and to be providing them with some other thoughts.
		So listen, amphetamines and steroids and keep pulling that trigger and run.
		You didn't create this shit.
		You just stuck in it.
		It's like the running man.
		Just get through it.
		Before the aliens land.
		What do you think about all these ancient aliens motherfuckers that want to say that the original sources of humanity was that we were created by aliens?
		Does that seem ridiculous to you?
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		I mean, sure, it does.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		But at the same time, just because it's ridiculous doesn't mean it can't be true.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Right, totally.
		We exist.
		There was a Harvard guy, some astronomer, who was talking about the likelihood of life in the universe is very small.
		It's very likely that we are alone because they searched for 500 different planets and they found no signs of life.
		I thought that was the dumbest thing I've ever heard out of a smart guy's mouth.
		Because there's 500, he said.
		He found 500 and he found nothing.
		No.
		You search 501, dummy, because Earth is one of them and Earth has life.
		So you found one, which is fucking crazy.
		We are crazy.
		The fact that we exist at all and that we have internet...
		And then we have Google on our phone.
		And then we can fly in tubes that fucking shoot you 30,000 feet in the air.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		That's what I'm saying.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Come on, son.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Imagine describing it to somebody who doesn't know anything about it.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		It sounds like alien tales.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Well, I used to talk about it on stage that you try wrapping your head around the fact that 200 years ago, if you wanted a picture of something, you had to draw it.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Yep.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Like, that is not that long ago.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Or even, yeah, around that time, is like, forget playing any music.
		The only music you ever hear is live music, and there's nothing else.
		Because you can't, you know, there's no recording device that you can press play and go.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, now I have gigs of music on my phone.
		You know, it just, it never fails to trip me out that I can go to my phone.
		Like, I don't have an iPod anymore.
		I mean, I have an iPod that, one of like, I have like a leftover one.
		But your phone becomes also your eyeball.
		When I go to the gym, I play my phone.
		And there's so much variety in there.
		There's thousands of fucking songs in your phone.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Best musicians in the world, all packed inside your phone.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		We can't even wrap our stupid heads around it.
		It's like what I was saying about the rise and fall of these civilizations.
		We're experiencing and we're benefiting from something we don't even understand a little bit.
		Whereas when you were living in the pioneer days, everything was pretty fucking straightforward.
		You had to fix that wagon wheel.
		And this is what you got to do.
		You got to take some wood and pound the metal and do this and then put the wheel back on.
		And if you want to shoot a deer, you've got to sneak up on it.
		And this is how you skin it.
		And this is how you cut it.
		And if it's fucking hot out, you better smoke that shit and turn it into beef jerky.
		Otherwise, it'll go bad.
		We knew how to manage all of the things that we had in our environment.
		And if we didn't, we knew a guy in town who did.
		Well, I'm not a blacksmith, but Bob is.
		And I'll go to Bob and get some horseshoes.
		I remember that movie, The Unforgiven, the Clint Eastwood movie.
		Seeing him out on the farm with his fucking kids, trying to farm and falling flat on his face, trying to push pigs into a pen, that was reality for everybody.
		That was the only way to live.
		That's all that existed, and you knew how to manage all the different aspects of your life.
		You understood how a gun worked.
		You understood how to sharpen an axe.
		Not anymore, man.
		I don't fucking press buttons.
		I don't even understand.
		I've never even thought about trying to understand wireless internet, but I'm on it right now.
		I've never even thought about attempting for a moment to gain any sort of an understanding of it.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		I mean, so much of this is so beyond anything you can get quickly or under, because you have to understand so much of physics, so much of it.
		It's like, forget it.
		Okay, it works.
		I press play, it works.
		I'm happy.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, we're civilization spoiled.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Do you think that that's just a stage, though, and that one day our brains will catch up with all this shit?
		Like, They say the human brain doubled in size over a period of two million years at some point in human evolution.
		That's what separated us.
		That's how we took off from the other apes.
		Is that going on right now?
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Probably, because when you look at the speed of technological innovation of not the last thousand years, the last hundred, when you consider maybe 150, electricity, phones, cars, airplanes, TV, radio, computer...
		All of it is mind-blowing, really.
		I remember when I was a kid in Italy, And I'm not like this old guy who's like, you know, back in my time.
		No, I mean, I'm late 30s and I remember when I was a kid, if I wanted to find out who won the NBA Finals, I would call the one Italian magazine that cover basketball.
		They had talked to their friend in New York who had given them the news.
		And so maybe two days later when they opened for business, I get to find out who won the NBA Finals.
		If I don't make that call, I have to wait a month for the magazine to be published so I know who won the game.
		And I'm like...
		And that was, what, 25 years ago or something?
		30 years ago?
		Are you kidding me?
		I mean, now you can be in some hole in the wall somewhere, you have internet connection, and you can watch it live, and it's insane.
		It really is.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		And it's changing.
		It's getting crazier and crazier, and it's not going to stop.
		And what we have now is so amazing, but it really is the tip of the iceberg.
		And one of the side effects is going to be a complete and total lack of privacy.
		That's one of the side effects that people have to understand.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Sure.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Like, enjoy your privacy while you can.
unidentified		Right.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Because eventually, it's not going to exist.
		We are slowly immersing ourselves in the mass of humanity as one superorganism.
		That's really where it's all going.
		All the boundaries are going to go away through technology.
		Technology eventually, biologically, will be a part of our systems.
		We'll have some chips inside of our body.
		We'll have some implants that we install into people's bodies in a quick and easy way.
		For people that say, oh, that's crazy science.
		That's not going to happen.
		Look at Pamela Anderson's tits.
unidentified		Okay?
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Look at what she's accepted.
		She has accepted bags of water under her nipples that make her tits pop out in an unrealistic way.
		You don't think that you're going to accept a chip in your brain that's going to let you see the future?
		That's ridiculous.
		You're going to take it.
		You're going to get that operation.
		There's going to be dudes who are stupid as fuck and there's going to be dudes with brain jobs.
		And those dudes with brain jobs, they'll be running shit.
		They'll be fucking flying around in private jets and Ferraris.
		You're like, I don't need that.
		I'm a fucking simple man.
		I live in a country, and these cars don't run.
		And you're out there chopping wood with an axe, you fucking dummy.
		And this guy can read your mind, okay?
		This guy's got a fucking little piece of silicone on the base of his skull, and he can see through walls.
		You're not going to take that?
		You're dumb.
		You're a dumb-dumb.
		You're going to be back there with the monkeys who couldn't figure out how to make fire.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Right.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, all those stupid fucks that are still in Africa swinging from trees.
		That used to be us, apparently, millions of years ago, supposedly.
		Have you seen that new shit where they found that human beings 500,000 years ago were using tools and using flint-tipped spears and arrows?
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		500,000 years, Jesus.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, the most recent discovery, which predates what we thought human beings used as tools by 200,000 years.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		That's insane.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		I mean, I don't even know what human beings 500,000 years ago would have looked like, as you're talking about.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, no shit, right?
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Way, way.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Man, that's...
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		I wonder what they looked like, man.
		I bet, yeah.
		I mean, how ape-like were we a half a million years ago?
		I mean, when did it...
		Well, they know that Neanderthals...
		Notice how I said talls like a true intellectual with my three years of college.
		They know that they...
		They not only made weapons, but they also were navigators.
		One of the most recent discoveries is that they think they sailed out to islands on their own, you know, without Homo sapiens.
		The Neanderthals had figured out how to make boats.
		They didn't really think that just a few decades ago.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		They were around until, relatively speaking, not that long ago, because they went extinct like maybe 30,000 years ago or something, and they were around since maybe 200,000 years ago.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		That's a lot of time shared by homo sapiens sapiens and the neanderthal at the same time.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, that's nuts, man.
		And they were weird looking, dude.
		They were like 5 feet tall, 200 pounds, solid rock.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Stalky as hell.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Stalky as fuck.
		They all looked like Husamar Pajares, but not with that head.
		He has a human head.
		They had weird heads, man.
		They had crazy foreheads.
		Heavy, thick bones.
		I saw a documentary where they were trying to put clay and reconstruct a Neanderthal's face and they compared it to a human being.
		They had a Homo sapien right next to a Neanderthal.
		There's so many prominent features that were different.
		The brow.
		They were a totally different fucking thing.
		But they were real close.
		Real close to us.
		They crossed the Mediterranean in boats 100,000 years ago.
		Isn't that amazing?
		Some people still think they were swimmers by the way.
		But there's other people that have found distinctive evidence that they had made it to these islands.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, there's no way to swim in.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		That's insane.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Maybe they could.
		Imagine that.
		Maybe they're like crocodiles.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		You're right.
unidentified		Humans can swim.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		No, that's freaky.
		And the underdogs were actually the first ones to bury their bodies.
		So they are the first species that have burial for their dead.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Before Homo sapiens did?
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Well, because I mean, a lot of Homo sapiens is a lot of the evidence that we have, typically what we could, like, the stuff passed 100,000 years ago, we really don't know a whole lot about.
		You know what I mean?
		There's like, you find a fragment of a tooth from 300,000 years, and then you find a little finger from, it's like, so putting together, there's a lot of guesswork involved about this stuff.
		And that's part of what's fun about it, is that every other day there's new articles coming in with new theories that make it, that change that.
		It's like the stuff that we thought we knew until yesterday, scratch that, that was bullshit.
		We actually now know that what you just said, like, you know, 500 years ago, 500,000 years ago, they used on tools, whereas before we thought a lot less.
		That stuff is constantly changing.
		But one of the theories up until, as far as I know, still current was that Neanderthals were the first to bury their dead, which is a trip itself that some non-human species, or rather related to us but not us, could do the exact same thing.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Wouldn't it be crazy if humans learned how to seafare from Neanderthals?
		I say humans, because they actually were humans.
		I'm saying it wrong.
		But they did it before us, supposedly.
		But then there's other people that think that we absorb them.
		You know, there's two different schools of thought on that.
		One of them is that we interbred with them, and one of them is that, no, we just shared DNA from the get-go, and it's just we're better at understanding that now.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, they say that basically Neanderthals are an evolutionary dead end.
		There's no crossover with human beings.
		It's only ancestral stuff, or exactly.
		Or instead, the happy Neanderthal sex scenario where...
		Homo sapiens, sapiens, and Neanderthal.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Listen, dudes fuck dudes.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		They would definitely fuck a Neanderthal chick.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		No doubt.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		If they could get some, if they're in the middle of nowhere, if you're like hunting elk with a stick, and you find some hot Neanderthal chick, and she's ready to go, you're like, alright, come on, let's do this.
unidentified		It's on.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		It's on.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, man.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		I've traveled before, cross-country, where you're on the road for days on end, and after a while, from state after state, you see the average woman being 300 pounds, when suddenly you see a 200-pound woman, and you're like, oh My God, that's so hot!
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		You adjust.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		It's all relative.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		You make an adjustment.
		You have yourself a harem of Neanderthal chicks.
		They make you big, thick babies, too.
		Big, thick, strong ones.
		100,000 years ago, these guys were taking boats as far as 12 kilometers.
		That's pretty incredible, man.
		That's really incredible.
		Well, actually, some of them even 40 kilometers.
		Some of them made even more ambitious journeys.
		That's amazing, man.
		How the fuck did Homo sapiens just occur?
		I mean, it's not like it just occurred, but if you really stop and look at us, the fleshy, weak-ass bitches, but very, very clever...
		And compare us to all the other apes.
		What a weird sort of a journey to go from whatever the fuck it is.
		I don't understand the creation of species.
		I understand the evolution once a species has been established for the most part.
		What's currently understood about that.
		I've sort of tried to wrap my head around that.
		But I don't understand the emergence.
		How does a frog just become a frog?
		Where does an eagle come from?
		Was there some steps along the way?
		I'm sure there were.
		The problem with the fossil record, though, it's that there's not enough evidence left behind to really piece an accurate – most shit doesn't become a fossil.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		No.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		People that have never really thought about it don't understand how difficult it is to make a fossil.
		You have to have some sort of a cataclysmic situation where a volcano or a mudslide or something traps the people.
		Like amber sap can trap million-year-old bugs, and we learn a lot from that.
		but But most people, nature just absorbs us.
		Most animals, nature absorbs them.
		Like, you leave a bear, a dead bear in the woods, like, you come back in a month later, there's nothing left.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		No, I mean, that's why, in fact, history books are always the thickest.
		You know, you go through the first 200,000 years of history, they're like two pages.
		And then you go in the last 10 years, they're like three books thick of it.
		It's not because it's any more interesting, it's because we know more.
		You know, that's what it boils down to.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		I listened to this lecture once, I think it was another McKenna one, where he was talking about if you had a computer of sufficient power and you understood wind variables and you understood you could program...
		All the measurements from a sand dune and from that sand dune you could get a map of the wind and you could you could literally get an accurate representation of how fast the wind was blowing and for how long and how did it create this from the this mass of sand and I always wondered like I wonder if what just what we can do now is so bizarre as far as exchange data and as far as figure things out and communication I wonder
		if it's possible to take the results of life on this planet in what we know of over the last 20, 30, whatever it is, 100 years of accurate history and put what we know to be 100% true in some sort of a gigantic mathematical program and extrapolate the past from that or make a calculation from what we know.
		And literally be able to get an accurate representation of everything from single-celled organisms to dinosaurs all the way to a human being and recreate that in a way that people could actually watch.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		That could be the kind of thing that 300 years from now, people will look now like, really?
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Those bastards didn't know about that?
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, of course you could do that, stupid.
		Yeah, well, they'll probably laugh at people with, like, sex change, too.
		Like, you gotta go and get your dick cut off?
		Dude, why don't you just go into the sex change center, press the button.
		I want to be a black woman.
		Hold on.
unidentified		Beep!
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		They'll nuke you like a fucking...
		Like fixing a Hot Pocket, you know?
		One day.
		If we can make people look like women, we're going to be able to make you a woman.
		One day.
		Unquestionably, there's going to be some unbelievable manipulation of reality.
		Coming up in the future.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Before that, I'm imagining, can you picture when they finally figured out very realistic robots that look like humans and everybody can buy like the hottest possible sex partners on the planet for like 500 bucks at Target?
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		And people will never leave the house.
		You know what I mean?
		It's like society as we know it will come to an end once that sex toys will be perfected because no one will leave the damn house if you have in your closet 10 of the hottest women or men or whatever.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		How about both?
		It's a fucking party, Daniele.
		It's a fucking party.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		And they will, you know...
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		It's not even game if they're not real.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		It's a robot.
unidentified		Yeah.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		You fuck robot dudes?
		That's not gay.
		But look, you're willing to fuck a flashlight, but you're not willing to fuck a robot dude?
		What if someone made you a robot dude with the perfect vagina?
		Everything else, you know, you had to accept the fact that it looked like a dude, but God, that vagina's perfect.
		No, you wouldn't do it.
		But you would fuck a fleshlight as long as you can contain it into a non-human tube.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Exactly.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		That doesn't look like a guy.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		We're so strange.
		We had a dude on the other day who is a robotics expert, Daniel H. Wilson.
		Fascinating guy.
		Great conversation.
		He freaked me the fuck out, man.
		We were talking about when's the first guy going to cut his legs off and put robot legs on.
		I was like, ah!
		It really made me cringe when he said it because I was like, he's right and that's going to happen.
		There's going to come a point in time, we were talking about amputees who now run in the Olympics with special prosthetics, that one day they're going to have legs that are better than a human.
		You're going to laugh at human legs.
		They're going to have some fucking awesome...
		They came up with some artificial skin cell that was mixed with steel.
		I've got to understand how the fuck they did that.
		Let me Google this real quick, but it's the beginning.
		It's an artificial human cell with somehow or another fucking steel fibers woven into it.
		Yeah.
		I don't know what the fuck they did.
		I don't totally understand it.
		But they're able to create artificial cells now.
		And it's not all with flesh.
		They can do it with varying materials.
		They think they're going to be able to create skin based on spider silk or spider webs that's bulletproof.
unidentified		No way.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, that in the future, they will be able to replace human skin with a bulletproof substitute.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		No, come on, you're making this shit up.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Serious?
		No, I'm not.
		Yeah, absolutely serious.
		They're trying to...
		I mean, they've already figured out a way to make certain animals produce spider silk.
unidentified		Just like jet packs.
unidentified		One day, we'll have it.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Well, I don't think...
		I think, like, the problem with jet packs is, like...
		They would have to be all magnetized so that you couldn't crash into each other.
		You get really close, like two magnets, and whoa!
		You fly off.
unidentified		Same with flying cars.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, that's one of the reasons why helicopters never took off.
		When they first made the helicopter, they thought that it was going to replace the car.
		That was the idea.
		But then they realized that people are too fucking stupid for that right now.
		There was a big helicopter crash in Manhattan.
		Some billionaire guy died.
		It turns out he had his five-year-old daughter in his lap and she was kicking the controls.
unidentified		Oh, you've got to be kidding me.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		No, she kicked the controls.
		The helicopter went into a fucking tailspin and they died.
		Wow.
		Whoa.
		Yeah.
		Whoops.
		That's why helicopters can't replace cars.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		No.
		I mean, it's a miracle already when you're driving on the freeway and you look at all the people driving and you figure, really, we're not crashing into each other every second.
		That already amazes me.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Oh, especially when you go and you see what fucking people put on their Twitter page.
		And then you go, how is this ape staying in a lane?
		You fucking dum-dum.
		Is that the product of the education system or is it there's a broad spectrum of the human mind and there's some people that are born ditch-diggers?
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Option B. Option B. God damn it.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		This is coming from an educator, ladies and gentlemen, a very smart guy who thinks there's ditch diggers.
		I was hoping for the best.
		Is there a way we can give them that...
		What is that stuff from the Limitless movie?
		What was that?
		NZT that you give people and they fucking become super smart.
		He was like a lazy bitch and then he wrote a book in a day and became a billionaire.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Kind of like the Matrix approach to learning where you plug in the thing and you're like, I know Kung Fu.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, exactly.
		The brain chip that we were talking about earlier.
		The guy gets a brain job.
		Maybe that's going to save all the ditch diggers.
		Then we'll just make robots to ditch dicks.
		Well, ditch dicks?
		I'm thinking about dicks.
		This is a very dick-oriented show.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Great.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		I'm so happy to be here.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Well, you've contributed to it, sir.
		You're here.
		You're responsible.
		It's a fucking group environment.
		Sorry, go ahead.
unidentified		What are you going to say?
unidentified		I was going to say something stupid.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		You stop from saying something stupid.
		See, folks, there is evolution everywhere.
		Even here on the podcast, Brian Redman is catching himself.
unidentified		Uncalled for.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		No, it's not uncalled for.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		That's a good thing, man.
unidentified		No, I said it was uncalled for.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Oh, it was uncalled for?
		Well, welcome to everybody's life.
		Everybody involved in this podcast has benefited from saying things that were uncalled for.
		I think the world can use a little more uncalled for shit.
		Alright, goddammit.
		Everybody wants everything to be beautiful and perfect and called for.
		Sometimes, no.
		There's hiccups.
		We're figuring this thing out as we move along, folks.
		No one's got it down to a science.
		None of those Buddhist monks even get laid.
		Okay?
		That's how you know the Buddhists are wrong.
		They're wrong too.
		Everybody's wrong.
		You know why they're wrong?
		No pussy.
		That's simple.
		Simple.
		Have you ever had sex?
		Yes.
		Isn't it awesome?
		Yes, it is.
		They're not having something awesome.
		If you live your life and you don't experience something that's one of the best things you can experience, you're missing out on one of the best parts about this life.
		The idea is, well, it consumes you and you want to be free from that.
		Listen.
		Stop being a silly bitch.
		Stop being a silly bitch.
		It doesn't have to consume you.
		That's like someone who's an alcoholic saying that no one should enjoy wine.
		Right.
		Well, that's not true because some people can have wine and then they get laughing and have a great conversation and have sex with someone they probably wouldn't have sex with.
		Next thing you know.
		Oh, Jed's a millionaire!
		There's nothing wrong with wine, folks.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		And that to me is like the litmus test of a healthy religion is their attitudes about sex.
		Everything else is like...
		But even that, there's some really weird...
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		I would join the Mormons before I would join any other religion, especially old school ones that had eight wives.
		I think they knew how to rock it!
		I would go down to Mexico and join up with the Mitt Romney's clan, take up guns against the cartels.
		At least they had a bunch of wives.
		I mean, it seems like no one can figure out the whole monogamy thing.
		You look at the divorce rate in America, I think now it's 51%.
		And for primates, it's zero.
		It's zero monogamous primates.
		Zero.
		We're the only ones who pull it together.
		We keep it together.
		We'll keep it together for 100 years, then you die.
		But if people live to be infinity, once Ray Kurzweil's ideas come to light and we have endless existences, by the time we get to that point, I bet we'll have some sort of artificial reality anyway that people will be enjoying more than regular reality anyway.
		There'll be some World of Warcraft shit that you can plug your brain into.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		The Matrix is real.
		Do you ever follow simulation theory?
		Follow any of these wacky motherfuckers?
unidentified		Uh-uh.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Scary shit, man.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Because it's based on mathematics.
unidentified		Right.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		They're finding...
unidentified		I'll Google it because I don't really understand it.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		But they're finding these mathematical equations inside string theory.
		And they're self-correcting.
		And it's freaking people out.
		Because they're very...
		Let me pull this up here.
		Self-correcting...
		Yeah.
		They're finding this type of self-correcting computer code that they've known about since, I believe it was like the 1940s.
		And they're starting to find this in the equations of string theory.
		It's really fucking confusing.
		Because you don't understand...
		Do you understand mathematics?
		Do you understand what they're talking about when they say the equations of string theory?
unidentified		Fuck no.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		No idea.
		I mean, math to me is one of the mysteries of the universe.
		I'll do how to add in my head, to subtract, to do stuff that I actually use.
		Anything else that's lost.
unidentified		I think you either have it or you don't.
unidentified		I think that's like a part of your brain that's either active or not.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Do you think it's a nurtured thing from childhood that like...
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Some people get stimulated as a child, and they start pursuing that road, and then it becomes a part of their natural existence, and then it becomes normal to them?
unidentified		I think it's how your brain thinks.
brian redban ▲ ● ▼		If you're a certain thought pattern, you don't get it as easy as somebody that's more number-driven.
unidentified		Like architects.
brian redban ▲ ● ▼		If you look at an architect, most of them understand all this complex, crazy shit, but then you try to talk to them, and they're just the most...
brian redban ▲ ● ▼		One-sided, that they only understand architecture kind of thing.
unidentified		I don't know.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, maybe.
		Well, I certainly think if you look at the human race as being one big, crazy, giant organism, you would think that everybody would have a part in it in order for it to keep progressing, and that it wouldn't really work the right way if everybody was the same.
		If everybody was the same, there really wouldn't be that much innovation.
		Nothing would get done.
		So...
		It almost makes sense that you're going to have mathematical prodigies that can't run fast.
		And then you're going to have dudes who are really awesome at space and distance and eye-hand coordination, but they just suck at putting numbers together.
		Or they suck at driving.
		That's not a good example.
		It seems like if you accept the fact that human beings, the only way we work is we work together.
		If you're a loner, if you're one of those Ted Kaczynski guys living in the woods, drinking your own piss, nobody trusts you.
		Why would I trust some guy who's up there on the mountaintop and never comes down and talks to people?
		If we accept that we all...
		Without question, need each other.
		Then you've got to think that it must have some sort of formula to it.
		Which is why I like...
		I always felt like if things got bad, you know, things got overpopulated or things got crazy, there's always going to be like disease.
		There's going to be some spring back.
		There's always going to be something that tries to stop it.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		I mean, of course, limitless growth doesn't exist in nature.
		You know what I mean?
		It's just you can only go on for so long before eventually you hit your limits and you come crashing down.
		It's just not going to...
		You know, there's no animal species ever that can outstrip its resources.
		It just doesn't work, right?
		Because you run out of shit.
		And we are smart, so we can come up like pushing the limits because we have a new technological innovation that allows us to get more out of less space and all of that.
		So we've played a game well, but I mean you can only play it so long before eventually you don't come up with something brilliant in the next 100 years and then you're fucked.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, and when you look at how many people there are and how many people there used to be, that's crazy.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		It's unreal.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		We've grown so quick.
		It's not that long.
		We had Dr. Peter Duisburg on, who is the HIV guy who says that HIV doesn't cause AIDS. He was talking about the population in Africa tripling.
		The population's tripled over the past 20 or 30 years, whatever the fuck it's been.
		They started measuring it.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Not even that long ago.
		If you think like something like the entire population of the United States in the year 1800, so 200, barely over 200 years, was about 5 million people.
		It's not even all of LA today.
		You know what I mean?
		It's like less than the entire population.
		That was the whole population of the US. Less than LA today.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Hey Brian, that's loud as fuck.
		What are you doing, man?
		What's going on out there?
unidentified		A group of like 30 Asian women.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Oh, you son of a bitch.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Have a seat.
unidentified		It's a 10-minute podcast.
unidentified		But they're all just hanging out right next to the studio for some reason.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Is that what you were going to check on the noise?
unidentified		Yes.
		What the hell are these people?
		But there's like seriously like 30 Asian women.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		I'm going to check on the noise.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		We've got an issue.
unidentified		Check the noise from behind?
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Check on the noise.
		The...
		They're loud as fuck.
		Someone go stick a dick in their mouth.
unidentified		All right.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Quickly.
		Stop all that giggling.
		Brian, it's your duty for all these podcast people.
		What were we even talking about before we got interrupted besides computer theories and self-correcting?
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Oh, population.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Population growth.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		It was 5 million, is that what you said?
unidentified		Yeah.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		200 years ago?
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		5 million in the year 1800. Fucking A. That's insane.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		That's a lot, though.
		If you really stop and think about it, that's incredible.
		They come over on boats and horses.
		There's five million of them.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		That's after 200 years of colonization, which you start at the very beginning.
		You're really talking about so few people.
		I don't know, man.
		Overpopulation is one of the things that nobody wants to talk about because it's uncomfortable.
		Because what are you going to do?
		Tell people they can't have how many kids they want?
		That's not a very nice thing to do.
		And at the same time, you kind of have to at some point because you can't possibly keep growing forever.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		And eugenics is a really horrible subject.
		You can never bring that up.
		You never bring the idea up that you need to cull the population.
		Even though that's a natural part of nature, is that the strong survive.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		I mean, the whole Chinese model of if you have more than one kid, well, bashing on the head is effective, but it's not exactly the most democratic thing in the universe.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Well, it's also not good for your ideas of humanity.
		When we talk about human rights violations and poor living conditions, China is right up there on that list as you look down at your Chinese-made iPhone.
		What a motherfucker that is.
		What a motherfucker it is that the minerals that came from even worse conditions.
		Some poor African kid digging a hole in the ground.
		And you need that shit in order to make a cell phone.
unidentified		Yep.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		While you're Googling in Manhattan, sitting on the corner, looking out the window, the chain of what's happened, to get that phone into your hand, it's dirty business at the very end of the chain.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Definitely.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		It's fucked up, man.
		And we don't do anything about that.
		Well, we need to get those Chinese people more money.
		I don't care if you gave them $1,000 a month, which is insane and unheard of.
		That's still not going to allow them to get the fuck out of there and improve.
		They're stuck.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		That's why it cracks me up when I see women with the big giant diamond ring of engagement and shit, and I'm like, okay, that's about, what, 27 Nigerian kids or 28?
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, and not only that, that shit's in warehouses.
		They've got the diamond people, they've got that shit locked down.
		They're so brilliant, those diamond people.
		They've managed to get people to pay for stupid little shiny rocks and pay...
		Incredible money!
		I remember that commercial that they used to have.
		Isn't three-month salary a small price to pay for a lifetime?
		Three months!
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		For a rock.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		I want you to work for three months!
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		For one rock.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Three months should be like a house, okay?
		In the old homesteading days, if you worked for three months, you built a house.
		Three months for a fucking shiny rock.
		Holy shit.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Which, by the way, you can make it just as shiny, look in the exact same way, and you have to look through a glass to make sure it's not the original, but no, it's not real.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		It's one of my favorite things about the rap culture is like big giant diamond encrusted necklaces and diamond chains and diamonds on the rings and diamonds on their teeth and diamonds in their ears.
		I love the bounce back from poverty to extreme wealth and how...
		You know, how flashy they are.
		To me, one of the most fascinating aspects of humanity is the really over-showy rap guys throwing money on each other and standing in front of Ferraris, flexing their diamond rings.
		I fucking love it, man.
		I love it.
unidentified		Check it, bitch!
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		It's so fascinating.
		And then there's people that are of old wealth, like Prince Charles, who would think that would be garish behavior and beyond embarrassing.
		I would love to see a reality show where Little Wayne had to live with Prince Charles.
		And Lil Wayne gets Prince Charles high as fuck and they go play polo.
unidentified		Playing polo with flavor.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		And if Prince Charles talks any shit, Lil Wayne goes, you know they can't save you.
		You know they can't save you, right?
		Who are you talking to?
		No one.
		Did you ever see that interview where he's talking to the guy?
		They're doing an interrogation of him for some fucking subpoena or something like that.
		I don't know.
		They're questioning him.
		And the guy's asking him a bunch of stupid questions.
		So he gets gangster with the guy.
		And he goes, you know he can't save you.
		In the real world, he can't save you.
		I'm just letting you know.
		And the guy's like, are you threatening me?
		He goes, no, not at all.
		Just letting you know.
		He can't save you.
		It's like, it's really creepy.
		Guy's got tattoos on his face and fucking, giant rings, son!
unidentified		Yep.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		From the street!
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Do you have people in your school that come from varying economic backgrounds?
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Oh, yeah.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		You see the difference between people that come from, like, really poor countries and made it to America and really appreciate the fucking shit out of it more than these sloppy people from Orange County that are living in Irvine their whole life, never even seen a bullet?
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
		Yeah, man, I mean, there's both.
		That's what makes it fun.
		You get people of, especially community college, it's awesome because you get people of all ages, you get people literally of every religion, you name it, you know, so you find all sorts of from the guy who's coming straight from South Central who tells you, I'm sorry I got in here late, but they lock up my block because they shot some dude under my house and they're like, fuck, okay, that's what you come to school with.
		And the one was straight out of Beverly Hills.
		It's hilarious.
unidentified		Really?
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		You guys sit in the same class?
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		You see those Compton dudes hook up with those Beverly Hills chicks?
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Usually not.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		No?
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		No.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Some of them want to take a trip to the dark side.
		Especially when they're in school and they're experimenting.
		Experiencing someone from a different culture.
		I'm just so amazed by these urban environments that you grew up in.
		Is there a theme to today?
		I think there might be.
		I need to jerk off before I do this podcast.
		The most satisfying aspect of teaching for you is what?
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		It's the interaction with the people.
		Interacting with students is fun.
		That's one of those moments where...
		Like, really?
		Somebody pay me to talk about stuff I like with people who are cool?
		Are you kidding me?
		I mean, which lottery did I win?
		This is too cool to be through.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		So you're doing that as well with your podcast.
		For those who don't know, it's called A Drunken Taoist.
		And Taoist is spelled with a T, you fucking imbeciles.
		Undereducated Americans.
		And you could go to iTunes and it's in the philosophy section, right?
		Is that where it's at?
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, that cracked me up.
		They, in philosophy, after two episodes, were, like, for a few days, were number one in philosophy, which, granted, the fact is probably the other three people in that category are people who are broadcasting out of their mom's basement, discussing the subtle differences between Hegel and Aristotle, but still, it's still first in something.
		That was fun.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		That's amazing.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		And that's after how many weeks?
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		It was, like, the second episode.
		So, you know, then you get the bounce.
		After a few days, it goes down and all of that.
		But for a few days, we were, like, number one.
		I'm like, shit.
		This is awesome.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		How does the iTunes, how do they measure?
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		They have two different things.
		They have it by episode.
		So whichever episode I think in that week had the most hits.
		So of course all the more recent ones tend to be the more popular one because more people have listed in that week.
		And then they have a general, I think, podcast history or something where they measure the average after so many episodes.
		But I don't know exactly how to keep their statistics.
brian redban ▲ ● ▼		It's subscribers, new subscribers, new comments, new downloads.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		You know what else it is?
		Crashed.
		iTunes is fucking crashed right now, god damn it.
		Apple, I think.
		Application not responding, Brian.
unidentified		Have you not upgraded to your Snow Leopard yet?
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Listen, son of a bitch.
		I like to keep shit old school.
		I'm tired of them with the updates.
		It's working fine, stupid.
		Stop changing things and allowing the government to look at my emails and see my dick pictures that I send myself.
unidentified		More dick.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		I'm bored.
		Look, folks, I'm not going to lie to you.
		We might have got a little high before the show.
		I'm not going to lie to you.
		Some of this might be silly.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		That never happens.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Never!
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Why would you say that?
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Not with Daniele Bolelli.
unidentified		Never.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		That is one advantage, though, that you must have with the ladies, is that accent, man.
		Chicks love a good European, French, English, something along those lines.
		But Italian?
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Oof.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		That's pretty good, right?
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Very unfair advantage, I must think.
unidentified		You think?
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Wow, look at that.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		He's being honest with us.
unidentified		You went to good grade.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		I'm going to look under philosophy, see where you're at right now.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Do you know?
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		No, I didn't check in a few days.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		I don't even see philosophy.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		I see religion and spirituality, science and medicine...
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		It's under society and culture.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Society and culture.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		I think within that day of philosophy.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		That seems like life.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		How can you have society and culture?
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		I mean, we could have an MMA podcast and it could be under society and culture.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		That was actually the funny thing in the first...
		I'm in there.
		Yeah, precisely.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		I'm under society and culture.
		The Joe Rogan Experience.
		Society.
		Culture.
		Suck it.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		That's why this kind of...
		The tags are ridiculous.
		Because they are like...
		It's about...
		Most of it, unless you are really dedicating a podcast specifically to one issue, it's about life.
		That's what it boils down to.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		As it should be, right?
unidentified		Yeah.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		As it should be.
		The name of the podcast, again, is Drunken Taoist.
		And I can't find it in here.
		What...
		I can't find philosophy.
		Is there a specific section that says philosophy?
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Oh, here it is.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Philosophy.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		You got it?
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, there it goes.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		It's a subsection of a subsection.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Yay!
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		I was, for a few days, the first in a subsection of a subsection, but I'm not anymore.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		That's pretty dope.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		What number are you right now?
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		I have no idea.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		It was like six a few days ago, but I'm sure it bounced out because we haven't had a new one in a few days.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		We're going to change that shit for you.
		We're going to find it.
		I can't find it.
		I don't know where it is.
		But it's Drunken Taoist.
		T-A-O-I-S-T. You heard me.
		That's how you spell it, you freaks.
		I'll put a link up to it on Twitter.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Awesome, man.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Thanks so much.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		My brother, thank you very much, man.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Another fun and fascinating podcast.
daniele bolelli ▲ ● ▼		Always fun.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		The Drunken Taoist, Daniele Bolelli.
		You're a good man, Daniele.
		Always good to talk to you, brother.
unidentified		Thank you, Joe.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		If there's ever anything we could do for you, if anything you want to promote, please let us know.
		Thank you to everybody tuning into the podcast.
		Thanks to all the positive energy and all the love and all the information that you guys give me and the feedback and all that shit.
		We're getting through this all together and I would not be able to do it without you and I would not have the same feeling without all the love and all the positive reactions and all the positive response that we get.
		We appreciate the fuck out of it and I know Brian does and I know Everybody else does.
		Joey and Ari and Duncan.
		We talk about it all the time.
		We love the fuck out of you guys.
		Thank you very much.
		Thanks to all the sponsors.
		You know who the fuck you are.
		I'm not saying you at the end anymore.
		God damn it.
		But go to deskquad.tv.
		That's Brian's site.
		And that's how you get yourself one of those sweet, psychedelic kitty cat t-shirts that I see at all the shows now.
		And I saw them in Montreal.
		It was fucking awesome.
		It's beautiful.
		When I look out there in that audience and I see those Desquad shirts, I know them and I'm in You're in family.
		I'm with family.
		It's like the Olive Garden.
		This motherfucker.
		That was his long game.
		That was his checkmate from a long distance.
unidentified		I'm going to be in San Diego Wednesday with Doug Benson now.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Powerful.
unidentified		American Comedy Co.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		Beautiful.
		And I will be here with Joey Diaz Wednesday night, the night before Thanksgiving, at the Ice House Comedy Club.
		We've got a 10 o'clock show.
		Greg Fitzsimmons is going to be there.
		Adam Hunter, who wrote that joke that I got in trouble, telling on FX. I did really get in trouble.
		It caused a commotion.
		I said a joke that Adam Hunter had a really funny joke about Martin Kampmann.
		He said, Martin from behind.
		Look, it's a funny fucking joke.
		I shouldn't have said it because there's children listening.
		I didn't even think about it.
		I'm an idiot.
		I'm a comedian, okay?
		But what bothers me is that people called it homophobic.
		That is not a homophobic joke, okay?
		Because anything that's gay, if you mention something gay, it's automatically deemed to be negative.
		You're not even supposed to joke about things that are gay, or gay sex, or anyone that's gay, because if you do, somehow it's a negative.
		I say, fuck you.
		I say, that's stupid.
		That is absolutely ridiculous.
		Everything is on the table as long as you have good intentions.
		My intention was only to make people laugh.
		And it was because Adam Hunter is a funny dude.
		And he'll be on the show Wednesday.
		As well as, like I said, Greg Fitzsimmons, Joey Diaz, Sam Tripoli is going to be there.
		And we'll find some other cool guys that are in town that are local stand-ups.
		But 10 o'clock, 15 bucks at the Ice House.
		Go to icehousecomedy.com.
		And come down to see us.
		And Brian Redband has been added to the fabulous Austin, Texas show at the Moody Theater December 1st.
		A lot of you fucks, you're like, God, I want to see him in person.
unidentified		So excited.
joe rogan ▲ ● ▼		I hear about his loads.
		Frothy loads.
		Yeah, we're going to have a good time.
		That's December 1st at the Moody Theater in Austin, Texas.
		And I will be there with Joey Diaz and Duncan Trussell's coming as well.
		So it should be a hell of a fucking show.
		Yeah, we're going to have a good fucking time, Texas.
		And that's where we're setting up Camp Rogan.
		That's where Death Squad Survival Camp's going to be.
		We're going to have a fucking fenced-in area and keep live animals in there.
		Folks, I'm rambling.
		It's official again.
		That's when it's time to shut the music off.
		I will see you guys tomorrow with Les Stroud.
		Survivorman is going to be here tomorrow.
		Fuck yes.
		I'm very exciting.
		I'm very Brazilian.
		I'm very exciting for you.
		Butcher in my own fucking language.
		It's not my language, goddammit.
		I'm not claiming it.
		Les Stroud from Survivorman.
		And he's going to bring his band.
		Well, at least some people to play with him because he's got some music that's being released.
		And he's just an all-around cool motherfucker.
		I can't wait to talk to him.
		And then Wednesday, one of the funniest guys in the country, Greg Proops, is going to be joining us.
		And that will be our final podcast for the week before the lovely holiday of Thanksgiving where we all celebrate syphilis-covered blankets.
		I shouldn't have said that.
		Good night, everybody!
		It's over!
		Kiss your mother!
		Hug your neighbors!
		Pet your dog!
		Spread that love, you sons of bitches!
unidentified		See you soon!
