Joe Rogan podcast. Check it out. The Joe Rogan experience. Train by day. Joe Rogan podcast. Yeah, I've watched so many people get their legs broken. Yeah. And I see it in like jujitsu videos all the time where someone's like going for a heel hook and then you hear this crack and the guy screams in agony and then everybody's like, oh, yeah.

This is horrible. Yeah, and just a million arm wrestling videos. I saw a guy and a girl arm wrestling, and the guy broke the girl's arm. I'm like, what the fuck, man? I was just like, how does that? Because I don't want to do it ever again, really. Arm wrestling? No, I think it's stupid for me to get involved in. But even when I'm just like, well, why is this happening? And there was two of these two competitors, like pro arm wrestlers, were like, well, you never want to get away from your body.

So they're like arms break once they're out here. So you always keep your arm in tight. Arms don't break when you're here. Right. But once you get extension, they're like that's when. It's the dumbest macho thing that we do. For sure. I did it with you once. I did it with you in Louisville. Do you remember? No. It was a horrifying experience. It was after we did a show in Louisville.

at the club. I think it was tied to a UFC. One of those. It was back in the day. And we went to a bar afterwards and we were shooting pool. Somebody said arm wrestling. And you're like, you want to do it? I was like, sure.

Dude, I couldn't believe how strong you were. I mean, I know you're strong, but I was like, you're like, go. And I was like, I am going, dude. Like, I couldn't get any fucking movement. Well, you're a fucking dude that works for you. That was the most ridiculous. That was hilarious. Do you think he just does that because he just wants attention? No, I think, I mean, there might be a little bit of that, but I really think, that's Eni, he has this thing. It's probably just, you know, it's...

It's part of his wiring. It's probably gotten him somewhere in life in some ways where he just goes – Just being delusional. Being delusional about I can't lose. Like if somebody says I can beat you, like they can't beat me. And you're like, what are you talking about? And then when you were pulling up, I was like, why don't you fucking ask him? Because I already knew what was going to happen. And then he also loves to gamble. I was like, yeah, I'll take that action. So, yeah, that's Eni. But he's not even a strong guy. That's why it was so confusing. Yeah.

I was looking at him like, you want to arm wrestle? You're not even a strong guy. There's probably a lot of things you could do better than me. But this one. This one you got. This is silly. This one's silly. It is funny how our capacity for delusion is just incredible. It can serve you well if you get lucky, right? Yeah. I think the two things I think about, one of my friends was diagnosed with stage four lung cancer.

And he found out at stage four. Oof. Right? Like, had to go to the hospital. Like, his wife was like, you're fucking sweating. And you're, you know, heavy breathing. It was after one of my shows. And so they go. And then the next day, they're like, stage four lung cancer. And all the doctors were like, you know, say goodbye to your friend, you know? And his brother...

Found a the expert like in this specific type of because you know there's in oncology that I could get like really specialized types of cancer and treatment and I remember Talking to him and he was like, you know I'm gonna beat this thing and I was looking at him and I was like like you're so stupid, you know, like Like you're definitely gonna die and

But the thing is, I saw that he believed it. A thousand percent believed it. And as he got better, I was like, this guy's fucking delusion is serving him in this. Like, I think most people, like, I remember when my uncle got mesothelioma and he was like a high level urologist at the Mayo Clinic. And I remember when I was talking to my dad about it, he was like, yeah, he's too smart. He can read things.

the labs, he knows what he has. Like he, he's too smart to go like, I'm going to beat this thing. You know what I mean? Like you're, you're just so well versed. But is it a delusional thing or has that guy had other success in life because he's just super determined? I mean, he's certainly a determined guy and, and successful in what he does, but what's up? Big head, Steve. Yo big head Steve. But I really was like, I credited, uh,

This guy's like, it felt like a level of delusion to believe you were going to survive this. But if he's correct and he was correct, then it's not delusional. Correct. Correct. Yes. Right. Which is kind of crazy. It is kind of crazy. But the doctors were like, you're dead. And what if he just decides I'm dead and he starts freaking out? Or maybe he goes to Oregon and gets assisted suicide. And so many people go down that path, right? But you're right. They're whacking people left and right up in Canada. Yeah. If you're depressed, like you're not feeling good, come on.

Sign up. Fucking sign up for the program. We'll get rid of you. That'd just kill you. In Europe, in the Netherlands, don't they do that? Somewhere else. I don't know. I'm sure. I'm sure it's other countries, but it's a recent thing in Canada where they're just whacking people. I didn't know they were doing that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. See, Google it. Google it. Because this is something you'll actually find on Google. It's like assisted suicide in Canada. The other delusion that I, because I just watched the Scott Peterson episode.

Is that the Lacey Peterson? So is that one, is the new one where people are saying maybe he didn't kill her? No, it's essentially, it's fantastic. It's on Netflix. I think it's a three-part docu-series. And it begins...

Because, you know, it's like this reminder. It was 20 years ago. Right. You know, time just, you're like, oh shit. What was that story? How did that one go? So that one, Canada's controversial medically assisted death program is fastest growing in the world. Damn. Since suicide became legal in Canada, the number of deaths have grown each year. So this is August. So this is just last month. So what is it saying in terms of the numbers? Most recent data shows 13,241 people in 2022. Damn.

Wow. That's quite a jump. That's a jump, bro. So 2022 is 13,000. Who knows what 2023 and 2024 is? Oh, man. They're whacking people up there. That's pretty wild. Come on in. Come in. Will you get a foot hurt? My leg hurts. I just said, get in here. Fuck life. Fuck life. That's a great tap out fucking option. It's great. I mean, what is this? Is this like a...

I mean, is it a kind of eugenics? Like, what is it? What is it? I mean, you could say it's being compassionate.

And in some cases, like Michael Lair, you know, he went to Oregon. Yes. But Michael Lair was, his body was failing so horribly. He couldn't talk anymore. That was ALS? Yes. Wasn't that the same thing that ravaged that? What was the famous woman that it was a huge international case here? Do you remember? Terri Schiavo? Was it Terri Schiavo? I don't know if she had the same thing. But she had this horrible, debilitating disease. Yeah. And you're still alive.

And at the end, it kept getting worse and worse. It wasn't getting better. So he went to Oregon to do it. He actually went to Oregon once and then changed his mind and came back. And when you sign up for that in Canada, can you just go, that's just what I want? It doesn't matter? I don't know. I don't know what the rules are. But I know that...

some people are very upset about it because you're taking people that maybe you could talk to them off the ledge. Yeah. Maybe they could have got better. Maybe with some love and some friendship and some counseling and some therapy. They wouldn't take that option. Yeah. Maybe they'd be happy. Yeah. I've, I've met, I've known quite a few people that have taken their own life. Yeah. I know a few that have done it too. Um,

And it's always super sad. I mean, because I don't know anybody that's done it, with the exception of Michael. I don't know anybody that's done it in the case of, you know... Like a medically assisted? No. No, Michael's the only one that I know about that. But, you know, there's Brody...

Yeah. Brody was a hard one. It was my friend Tony, who's a pool player up in San Francisco. He jumped off the bridge. Yeah. Which is crazy. There's a spot where everybody goes. Yeah. One of my college, I had jobs. I worked when I had, when I was in college, I worked the whole time. I had, you know, part-time jobs. And one of my coworkers did. It was fucking terrible, man. Like our boss went to his apartment and found him there. It was terrible. Yeah.

You know, for some people, they don't think it's ever going to get better. I know. And, you know, and if you don't have support around you, you don't have someone that can pick you up. And it's crazy how someone can pick you up.

It's crazy how you could be just feeling like total, complete shit. And someone who cares about you can come over your house, take you out, have some laughs. Yeah. And you're like, I think I feel better. Yeah. Yeah. We feel better around people. Some people are super isolated too. That's the dangerous one. And I think one of the things I realized as I got older is,

is you don't realize how many people are lonely in this world. You get older, I'm saying, because you encounter more people and you talk to people. You realize you have this full life that you could take for granted. You have a family, you have friends, you have all these things going on.

And then you meet people who they don't have any of that and they're alone. There's a lot of those out there right now. There's a lot of people that are very lonely. Well, there's also this internet culture too, right? So there's people that don't have actual physical contact with anyone. Yeah. So all their interaction is with people online. So that's a dark place too. They're streaming all day and chatting all day on Instagram and jerking off and it's madness. Mm-hmm.

Yeah, that's not a path to fulfillment is isolated online. No. And also you don't – sometimes I don't have it to that degree, but you're online for a while on something and then you go into the real world and you're like, oh, yeah, I'm like –

I was just living in this make-believe place for a while. I didn't realize it's not real. Right, right. You live in this make-believe place and you're not having any of the normal human contact that we thrive on. Right. All your contact is like this weird, like, displaced, not connected. It's all weird. Mm-hmm. Which is like, if you go to someone's Twitter profile and you see that they're online 12 hours a day just fucking barking at people. I know. Like,

Like a dog. And it's giving them some charge. Yeah. It's like an annoying dog next door. And they're just baiting people all day. Speaking of baiting, did you watch the debate? Yeah. I forgot. Let me tell you. Before I say anything, I just want to say, whoever's helping her, whoever's coaching her, whoever's the puppet master running the strings, whatever.

Yeah. You did a fucking amazing job. She did a great job. They did an amazing job from the moment Biden drops out, forcing Biden to drop out. Whatever they're doing, whoever's writing those speeches, getting her to deliver them, coaching her. She's nailing it. She nailed that one speech. She's like, say it to my face. She nailed it, dude. And then last night.

To me, when I was like, oh my God, this is jujitsu, where she was like, if you go to his rallies, his crowds are boring. They're tired. They all leave early. My crowds are the best crowds. I have the number one crowd. He couldn't help himself. And she got him. She baited him on that. She walked him right into it. 100%. 100%. See, the difference in that debate was not a difference in who's going to have better policies, who's going to be better for the country. The difference in the debate, in my opinion, was who was better prepared. Right.

She was way better prepared. And even when it came to answering tough questions, instead of answering, she would just say things that she believes. Yeah, sure. And they sounded real good. And that's the soundbite. That's called being a savvy politician. It's also called being someone who's working with it.

team versus someone who's like, they said Trump, that deal was the best deal. They've never seen a deal like this before. They said, how did you put that deal together? People would say that was just brilliant. Yeah, I know. He's not working with a team that's like, I mean, I know he's doing mock debates. I know he did one with, I think he did one with Tulsi Gabbard, but-

Someone needs to tell him, you've got these tiny little windows and you should have all the words ready for those windows. There should be no repeating things. Yeah, he started out strong. Because out of the gate, everybody can't help but get in their own way of who they are. And for him, it's like, okay, don't get fucking crazy. I'm sure that thing is like, don't say wild shit.

Don't say people are eating cats. Eating cats and dogs. And, you know, they're fucking coming in here eating all our pets. And, you know, you just watch them. You're like, you're watching this thing. You're like, what? This is fucking insane.

And then for her, they're just basically like, don't laugh like a stripper. Like how every time you come to a podium, you're like, well, that's a panic down. It's a, it's, it's a move that like comics will do with their materials. Not that good. They laugh through it. Exactly. But then you remember, you know, this is somebody like take away your, your politics or whatever you believe.

This is a former prosecutor. It's a trainable person. If you're a prosecutor, you can get the information and regurgitate it. She's not dumb. See, people want to say she's dumb because she's not good off the cuff when pressure's on her.

But you don't understand what that kind of pressure is like. Like the kind of pressure that that lady has been under for the last – let's just think about the pressure she's been under for the last four years is being vice president. Everybody hates her. A lot of gaffes, a lot of dumb things. So every time she's saying something, in the back of her head, she's like –

Don't fuck this up. Yeah. They're going to come for you. They're going to use this against you. Don't say, did you just fall out of a coconut tree? Yeah. Don't say that one again. Yeah. You know what I mean? It's like, so there's that kind of pressure. So it's very hard off the cuff. But when you give her time and prepare her, like last night. It's a good showing for her, for sure. Very, very good showing. And unfortunately for him, like the thing that he does that it's...

It's just, look, he can do it better than anybody alive. It's just riff. He can go out there and have a crowd of people and just, and he's funny, man. He does things about like, he did an Elon impression the other day. It was hilarious. He's very funny. He's killing people. He kills like a comedian. You don't like the guy at all.

still will have to acknowledge that he's funny. He's funny. He's funny like a comic. Yeah. You know, it's just like we don't necessarily want that as the guy with his finger on the button. That's all it is. Sure. That's the thing that freaks people out. But...

The policies that he had when he was – the thing is everyone's saying he's going to be a dictator. Well, he wasn't a dictator. He was the president. He actually was the president for four years. And the economy really did well. And he really did try to cut some of the bullshit down that's going on in this country. And who knows what would have happened if he had four more years. Maybe we would have been economically better off even if you don't like that one person to be like the figurehead of the country that you identify with because you live here. You don't want to identify with this guy that you think is blustery and –

Well, the thing is he's going to, you know, we have like 55 days or something. And the thing that's really going to happen now is I think he realizes when she first was announced, I'm sure most people, myself included, were like, he's just going to destroy her. I didn't think she was even going to have a chance. But now you realize this is going to be, I believe, a

a much closer race. It's close as fuck. It's probably, she's probably ahead now. After the last, like what is the latest, I saw the Fox News poll, it's hilarious. Fox News, 90% Trump won. They're eating cats, I saw! I saw on Facebook! They're killing newborn babies. By the way, I think they are eating cats.

Yeah. I think some people are eating cats. Sure. I think you get a bunch of poor people that are from an island where they occasionally eat cats. Yeah. And you throw them in a city where there's 50,000 people. You throw 20,000 people in there and there's ducks at the pond. I'm going to go get a duck if I'm hungry. My fucking son took one out of there. So I didn't mean to. He grabbed it by the neck.

So yeah, I would not believe a- Yeah dude, if I was starving, if I just came from another country and there's ducks laying around, I'd grab a duck. Sure. I don't think it's that crazy. That's not their fault. Like how the fuck did they get here? How'd you get 20,000 shipped to one town? Like what is that?

No, it's – What's the real story behind that? Is that organized? The immigration issue is a legit real issue in this country. It's in our state predominantly too. It's a lot of it here, yeah. Yeah, so I mean – A lot of it in California, a lot of it in Arizona. But it's a real issue. And look, you and I are both the products of immigration. Immigration is fucking awesome.

But, hey, maybe when they do stuff that's bad, you should put them in jail. Like, hey, maybe. Hey, maybe you should use the same laws on them. Hey, maybe. Yeah. We should check to see if they're murderers before they come across the board. Yeah. Hey, maybe. I know. Hey, maybe. It's this – they just turned – I mean, this current administration just was like, oh, yeah, we should, just recently. Do you think – but recently, I think it's – they're also flying people in, which is crazy. But recently, I think it's because they want people that are on the fence. Yeah.

You know, the people that are on the fence. Because this is not... That's all that plays to. Yeah. It's all that matters. But once they're in again, if they're in again, they'll probably do the same thing. Because what you're doing is you're essentially changing states that are swing states into blue. Right.

Because if you're going to give these people money, debit cards and food stamps and let them come in, and they're even talking about gender reassignment surgeries? Yeah, I heard this. Yeah. I don't know if that's true. I don't know if that's true either. Find out if that's true. Because that's part of the problem with this whole people are eating cats. It's like you don't fucking know what's true anymore. That's a big thing. Maybe you just read things on the internet or you hear things on the radio.

Who fucking knows what's true? Which is why, like, because a lot of people were also, you know, talking about the moderators interjecting a bunch, right? Yes. But, like, part of that, I mean, feels like you kind of need some of that interjecting because otherwise things are just said and you have zero idea. 100%. I mean, the big one to me of, like, this is why you need to have somebody interject at times is when he...

said to her, like, you went and negotiated with Zelensky and Putin. Right. And then just moves on. Well, if you're a regular person at home, you know, you work and you take care of your family. You don't know the ins and outs of diplomacy and what's happening internationally. You hear that and you just go, oh, I didn't know that. Right. So you kind of have to have somebody go, wait a minute, you didn't negotiate with Putin. She's never met him. Right. Right.

Harris told ACLU in 2019 she supports cuts to ICE funding and providing gender transition surgery to detain migrants. That is crazy. Yeah, and also. That's just September 9th. She's going to do what politicians do, which she's in the midst of this right now. Yeah. Which is just going, yeah, I've changed on that. She did it like five times last night alone. Like, didn't you say this? She's like, yeah, I changed. Now I'm this.

Well, that's a good thing. Yeah. People can change. This idea of flip-flopping when you learn more information, no, stick to your guns. No, no. Stupid shit you first believed in. You can evolve and change. Stay there forever. Yeah. That's dumb. Yeah. You definitely could evolve and you could be wrong. And that's part of being a good leader is recognizing you're wrong and correcting your course. That's all good. What is going on with the earrings? The earrings? Do you know about this, the earring controversy? No. Okay.

So there are people that believe that what she was wearing last night was the type of earring that they use for, it's like an, it's an earpiece. Like you can talk through it. No. Yeah. Really? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Why would she have to? So someone can talk to her. So someone can coach her. I know, but don't they have better earpieces? Well, no, Jamie. They want one that looks like a fucking earring so you can just wear it. Duh.

Like, if you have one that looks like an earpiece, like, oh, like if Trump had one right through the bullet hole. This is definitely going to take off. If they're already saying this, yeah, this is going on Twitter. But here's the thing. It does look exactly like the ones that they use for what they call Nova earphones. OK. So there's a video. I'll send you the video, Jamie. But there's a video of this thing in action. It's pretty fucking interesting.

Because in the video, they're showing that these little earphones, like it's a commercial. And it's pretty cool. Hmm. Yeah. So is the actual ear... See if you can find it. If you have the real thing, do you wear it as an earring? Yeah. Oh, wow. Yeah, you wear it as an earring. God damn it. Did I save it? I might have saved it on Twitter, not Instagram. But it's... Did you find it? There's a video. I'll find the video. It's kind of cool.

It's cool because I like all that spy espionage type shit. Yeah, sure. But if she really did do that, first of all, if she didn't do that, bring those earrings, allow them to be investigated, please. Sure. Just the ones that you wore. We'll trust you. Take those. Because you can't really get a pair made that aren't those. Right. So this is what it looks like. Okay.

There's a different commercial that I saw. It's pretty cool. So these are earrings, but they're actually earphones. So you listen to music, all kinds of shit. Or you can have people give you instructions and say, hey, make fun of the crowds. Now's the time. Right. Make fun of them. Smile. Smile. He's talking about eating cats.

Don't get mad. Put your hand on your chin. Don't cackle. So these are actual earphones, which is really crazy. Yeah, I did not realize that. And so that's exactly what the ones looked like that she was wearing. Well, that'll be a new thing to run with. Yeah, fun times. These next 55 days are going to be... Yeah, they're going to be bonkers, man. I forgot how crazy it gets. Just the energy and...

And chaos. Oh, my God. Every time I go on Twitter, I get fucking anxiety. I just send it to you, Jamie. You can see the comparison side by side of the two of them. Yeah, it's going to be nutty, dude. And then when we get into November, it's going to be, oh, my fucking God. Terrifying. I'm just scared that someone's going to do something really stupid. Yeah. Like some extremists on either side that really do believe you're going to take away the trans kids or really do believe you're going to destroy the country from the inside. So that's what it looks like. Okay. Real fucking similar. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, real fucking similar. I don't know, you know.

I don't know if that's what she's wearing. She might have just been wearing earrings. But if they have the kind of technology like that for regular people, and you could do that, and most people aren't aware of it, you can get it off because the ABC people aren't aware of it. Sure. Sneak it in, baby. Yeah, yeah. That'd be rad. It's fun. I'd respect it so much. I'd be like, that'd be awesome. Wherever you stand, politically left or right, you got to respect what she did last night. She got a great showing. She did. She did a great job. She did. But it just...

Whoever's pulling the strings, what a masterful job of propaganda they've done in taking someone that they all agreed was not a good vice president, was the least popular vice president. Nobody even fucking knew anything about her. Nothing. Bro, everybody made fun of her. Even like Joe Scarborough was talking about how she's like a problem for the ticket. Sure. And now you look, and she's like neck and neck with him. Is she ahead of him today? I don't know.

The whole thing is so nuts, man. But Taylor Swift's on her side. Taylor Swift's on her side. It's going to come down in these key states to just county by county. It's going to be like where you're going to – hour to hour you're going to see this county turn in and it's red and it goes up and then the blue county. It's really going to be in PA, Michigan, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Nevada, Arizona. And then you've got this million ballots. Oh, yeah, yeah. It's going to be crazy. I still think it's so crazy that –

a lot of the developed world has Saturday elections, you know, like it's like, it should be. Yeah. It's where people are. Yeah. You don't work. Yeah. It's just fucking crazy. It's ridiculous. Most people have to work.

And also vote in person with a fucking ID. We just got through three fucking years of you have to have a vaccine passport in order to get food. Right, and you don't have to show your ID. You have to be able to show an ID and show that you're vaccinated to get on an airplane. We just got through that. And now all of a sudden it's racist to say that you want voter ID. No, I think it's insane. There's only one reason to do it that way. There's two things that are going on simultaneously. You're letting in literally millions of people.

Millions of people and you're giving them all these services. Yeah for sure. Okay, whatever however much there's all these talk There's all this talk about they gave the money and there was you know all these stories about people getting debit cards and food stamps and all this money and then they're putting up in hotels in New York City and they're giving them free food and Then there's people that are poor that live in America. They're like, hey, why am I not getting that? Yeah, what's going on here? Well because they already have your vote and

They've already tricked you into voting specifically for this one party. So now, if you bring in millions and millions of people, and then the same people that want to bring these people in, or that are allowing their policies that are allowing these people to come in, are the same people that think voter ID is racist.

You're racist saying voter ID is racist, by the way. Because you're saying that these people are too stupid to get a fucking driver's license? Yeah. Everybody has a goddamn driver's license. That's true. What are you saying? I know. What are you saying? Like, voter ID is racist? Yeah, our system is really fucked. Crazy! And so are the county drawings that they do for districts, you know? The gerrymandering. They're like, oh, and you look at the graph, and it's just too...

engulf a part of a district that doesn't make sense to include it in. All this is manipulation. Well, there's also how many seats is dependent upon how many people are in your county. And the more people you import into your county, the more you can change...

Like, the demographics. But these county lines make no sense half the time when you look at them, when you study the way that they're attributed. You've got to fucking give the Democrats credit for the manipulation. I mean, they did everything... Like, every time they've had a hurdle. Like, they moved Bernie off the fucking primaries. They fucked him. Yeah. You know? Then it comes to the whole thing with RFK. They fucked him. Fuck you. Fuck Tulsi. Fuck you. Everybody's out. They've done...

I mean, and right in front of everybody's face. And yet all these people are like, yay, save democracy. Like, are you not seeing what's going on? Are you not seeing, like, if...

The same people with the same ideas played fair. If the same people with the same ideas played fair, we have a different thing. We have a different thing. We have a different thing. And then we can get back to people disagreeing about policy, disagreeing about plans. You seem like we're far from that, though. We're so far from that. We're so far from that that people don't even give a fuck about what the policy is. They're just committed to their side. And anything their side does that's kind of fucked up or twisted or –

They'll gaslight you on it. Then they'll say it's not that big of a deal. And then they'll tell you it's good that that's happening. Yeah, of course. You fully justify it. Somebody had a great tweet about the eating pets thing. It's one of those things where I just read it and I'm so happy that we live in a time of the internet. Because the internet is so fun. Because there's so many regular people out there in the world that are so fun. Yeah, they are. So this dude's name is Nick Freitas.

And Green Beret, combat veteran. But look at his, look at this tweet that I sent you, Jamie. I can't believe this is a topic. The left, no one is eating people's pets, which means we're one week away from why do you care that people are eating pets? Three weeks from why eating pets is a good thing. Four weeks from refusing to eat pets is white supremacy. No, he's got it. He fucking nailed it. He nailed it.

It's just like we live in such a mad, mad world. Yeah. And if you... It's like this is entertaining, too, to read this. But also, if you lose yourself...

in these like back and forth online, you lose your fucking mind. Oh, you lose your fucking mind. Yeah. And there's a lot of people losing their mind. It's just, I don't engage in it. I know you don't either. It's a bad way to communicate with people. It's a bad way. It's bad for your health. I really believe that. I think it's bad for your mental health. I 100% agree. Yeah. I remember, I don't know if he still does this, and I've heard other people do this, but I remember when DeStefano told me that he was like, like a year or so ago. He's like, it's fucking with me.

He's like, I don't want it. You have it. Yeah. I'll just send you things to post, but I'm never going to. I don't even have my own login. Ari did that for a while, too. Yeah. Right before the Kobe thing. He went in.

He got back online and immediately went bad. Oh, my God. Yeah. But it's not good for anybody. And that's why I am absolutely addicted to looking at things on my phone. I'm addicted to watching YouTube. I'm addicted to stories, just looking at stories on Google. And a lot of it is nonsense, but a lot of it is super interesting science stuff. I get a lot of super interesting science stuff all day. And people send me super interesting stuff. I try to do productive stuff. Yeah, but not you and me. I try to do-

Well, you and me have a bad thing going on. We have a bad thing. You and me, our text, which is what I was going to get to, our text message chain is the fucking worst thing on the internet. It's so dark. People go, hey, because they hear about it, and they go, include me, and I'm going to ruin your fucking life? You want your whole algorithm to be just the darkest? Yeah, this is my and Tommy's thing.

The darkest, the darkest things we find. And my algorithm is a confusing. Oh, yeah, it's a mess. It's confusing. It's dark, semi-erotic. And it's just the most peculiar. Also, I just can't help with all the censorship that has become, you know, it's so prevalent. It's one of the big topics of the last five years. I still don't understand why I get to watch murders. All day long.

I mean, all day long. I get to see on my Instagram executions, a lot of Russian car accidents and manufacturing mishaps, like people getting electrocuted, hit by trains. Yep. And then and straight up just gun to the head, just like hit men. Yeah. I've seen on on closed circuit TV where you're like this.

This is cool, but like, I don't know, a girl's tit isn't? And somebody leaving a comment that is like... You misgendered someone? Yeah, like the language. That person's account gets fucking banned, but I can see this guy get his head fucking blown off. Why? It doesn't add up at all. Well, that was why the old Twitter was weird, because they had hardcore porn. There was always hardcore pornography, but if you misgendered someone, you'd be banned for life. Yeah.

That's so that doesn't add up at all. It's always been this to this thing in America, like one of the big European versus American differences is that, you know, we always had this this holier than thou reaction to the naked body and just sex in general. Right. Like there's a topless person or a lovemaking scene and people are like, you know, either

this is NC 17 or, you know, but we can have someone like a grenade in a guy's mouth and then fucking buy. And they're like, yeah, well that's a, that's on fucking TNT today. How is it getting through Instagram filters? I don't, cause I asked you this like a couple months ago cause I'm not on Tik Tok. I'm like, did you see that when you sent me something particularly disturbing, I was like, okay, is this on Tik Tok too? I've seen crazy shit there as well. I do know that the, the,

the go around in on Instagram seems to be just in your caption. So if you notice, if you look at the caption, a lot of time, it's like 2024 Mercedes Benz. That's an amazing off-road vehicle because they figured out that the, whatever the sensors and the algorithm doesn't, to,

watch the video. It's like your cat. If you were, if you were to write, here is a guy getting hit by a truck and his fucking head comes off in your caption, that thing would get taken down. But if you're like, check out the new fucking 2024 MDX or whatever it's called. But here's the question. Where is the money?

How are they making money off of this? I don't know. Because whoever's putting these videos up, these are accounts from bots. So if you look at the accounts, there's no real comments and real things that anybody's saying with that account. And then this account might have thousands of these videos. Yeah.

And the war footage, the drone footage, was just like... I saw one yesterday where this drone, a kamikaze drone, was coming after these guys and they were shooting at it with AKs and they couldn't take it down. The thing was evading the bullets. And then finally it moved into the guy, threw his AK at it, and it blew up. It saved his life. Really? He threw his fucking rifle at the drone as it was coming to... Because they dive on you and blow up.

I think being able to see those, I will say this, gives you a very sobering perspective on modern day war. Because that's obviously, that wasn't a thing in Vietnam or World War II. But the fact that you see these guys out in a field, whatever side they're on, I'm just talking about the reality of these human beings now.

And then this fucking drone with a camera is chasing them down. Yeah. And it can just blow. Well, this is the first time that's ever happened. It's fucking so disturbing. The first time we've ever had drones that chase people. Yeah, I'd never... I mean, I'd seen...

Obviously, I'd heard of and knew about drones that are like basically satellites, you know, that like that fly. Right. You know, they're like planes and they lock in on a on a location and fire a missile. Right. But these little tiny ones that just, yeah, chase people and blow up. I mean, they're suicide bombers. Yeah. Yeah. It's it's really it's super disturbed. Guys are going into the trenches with GoPros on.

Like I watched this one where this Russian guy killed these Ukrainian guys that were in like, they were in a trench and he's like got a GoPro on. Crazy. And he guns these guys down when they're in the trench. And one guy's like struggling for the rifle and then he fucking gets the barrel back and blows his head off. And you're like, yo. Yeah. And it's all like five feet away, three feet away. Like,

And you see that and then they're like do you want to make a prosciutto and mozzarella sandwich? Like that's my feet and you're like yeah, I think so yeah if you saw my feed if I was like Being arrested for being a serial killer and they had a look at his social media like this algorithm. Oh, yeah Oh that I mean Christina just all day. She's just like you're such a sick person. I

Look what you fill your head with. I don't share my wife. I also go to bed, and I always put on biographies. Like, it's either war, a serial killer, or it's a scripted show about a murder. It's the only thing that, like...

It engages I find enticing and exciting to watch are like either real stories about horrible things or I like the suspense you know I like that genre, so I just am always watching it well It's always interesting just psychologically to see like what the fuck were the you know like you're watching something on Richard Ramirez or something like yeah Like what was this guy like oh yeah? I just cannot watch those things at night and

If I watch them in the day, I can tolerate them. But at night, before I go to bed, it just gives me too much room for crazy thoughts. Well, apparently, that's a healthier reaction than mine. Because I watch it and I'm like, night, night. And I just fucking go to bed. I can't watch things about war at night. War freaks me out the most.

Because I'm always like, okay, before Pearl Harbor or before 9-11, no one knew that was going to happen. How do we not know? How do we know that we're not in a situation right now where we're just before something really fucked up happens? And that gets me at night. Yeah, I understand that. I mean, and also the way that now, because I've watched docs on those very things recently. The latest one...

the latest Nazi one because at some point I'm also like are they ever just going to be like I think we've covered it with Hitler never and never and then I watched the latest one that there was a Netflix release and it was

absolutely phenomenal like the best docu-series I've ever seen done on the Nazis yeah what's it called it's like a six or eight part series I don't remember what it's called it came out a couple months ago it's so fucking good you don't realize that they could go deeper and really highlight things that you didn't know about it's just so educational but um

Hitler and the Nazis, Evil on Trial. It is fucking so goddamn good. I cannot tell you how good this is. So is this colorized footage? There's color footage. They go between real footage, real historical footage, narration, and it's just- Do they have dramatizations as well? Yes, and it's so high level. It's so well done. It just paints a picture in a way that-

that I don't think has really been done before. It's just incredibly fascinating. But yeah, I mean, I get that at night too because you kind of go like, especially, you know,

I mean, it was highlighted, I think, even in the debate. And so it is a very valid point, which is that you just don't know what's going to happen in any war. But when you have Russia involved in this war, you do have a country with thousands of nukes. Yeah. Like, you just don't know.

how he's deciding to play this. You don't know. Nobody knows. And he's a KGB guy who's a dictator. Yeah, yeah. Like, the whole thing is mad. It's crazy. And you just can do, you know, one little thing that, for him, that's the line. Yeah. You just don't know what that is. Yeah. You don't know what that is. And you don't know why it's happening. You know, you hear about NATO moving their arms closer to Russia and you...

And you know that there was a coup that was probably facilitated by the United States in 2014. And it's like, fuck, man. Like all this monkeying with shit overseas scares the fuck out of me, man. Of course. Yeah. Every day there could be some new thing popping off somewhere in the world. That's another one. The turning point, Doc, about the history of the Cold War. And when you realize how...

nuke programs evolved and what was really going... And how in the 60s when we were... Bay of Pigs and all that was happening, we thought... Because they postured like, we can fucking take you guys down too. And we ended up discovering later that they had seven bombs and we had 10,000 at the time. Oh, God. But then... Seven's enough, though. It's enough, but it's also like...

you know, you could also target these areas. It's a more... You can deal with it. But of course, they never showed that hand. But then you see how in the... Into the 80s, how their program just far exceeded our... At one point, they had like triple what we had. Also, these are an amount of bombs that doesn't even really matter. If you have 33,000 nukes, it's like, you know, what the fuck are you going to do with that? The world's over. Yeah, it's over anyway. But how we both...

operated on a sense that like, oh yeah, if either one of us crosses the line, it's just over for both of us. Yeah. Mutually assured self-destruction. Yes. And then the other thing was that during the Reagan administration, they kind of like forced the Russians into trying to keep up with us militarily, which kind of bankrupt the Soviet Union. Sure. Because if you have a communist country, it's way harder to

get money. Yeah. Fucking, you're not making anything. You're not selling anything. You're not ever, there's not a lot of capital. Things got really bad there economically, like massive poverty and starvation. Yeah. And while you're having massive military spending, it's kind of unsustainable, but then they've since recovered. Yeah. And then them like China, like what's interesting, what China has done is China has developed this sort of

They have capitalism and communism, which is the way to do it. Like, you get people motivated to make a lot of money, industries get huge, but everything is completely tied into the government, which is like, oh, we nailed it. This is it. It's a good program. It's a good program. It's not good for the people. It's not good for us. It's good for running the show. It's great for running the show. And that's...

This is what's scary about what's going on in this country, is there's some people that have the notion that in order for us to compete with these other countries, we have to govern people in a more similar way than they do. They have to have more control over information, more control over what people say and do, more control over money. China now has centralized...

digital currency in some places which is that's very scary yeah once the government has complete access to your money and be able to shut your money off you saw what happened in Canada with the truckers yeah

So these people just donated money to this trucker protest. That's all they did. Donate money. And Canada shut their bank accounts down, which is that scary stuff. It's very scary. That's banana Republic shit. And that's, you could walk to Canada. I remember that far to the, um, you know, when the, when we had the, uh, what was it called? What's the company that they had the malfunction and the airline just stopped for a fucking day. Um, and my friends was bringing up how, you know, all these car manufacturers, uh,

are pledging we'll be fully electric by 2035 or whatever. And I'm like, man, for me, I've just always been like, that would suck just because I like cars that are gas powered. And I guess I'm a dinosaur in that way. No, they're cool. They're cool. But what my friend was like, he brought up that malfunction. He was like, you know, I just keep thinking about that if we were all electric...

That the government could also just go like, doop, like cars don't work today. Well, there's cars today that have OnStar on them that the police can shut your car off. Yeah. So if you're running a high-speed chase with the cops and you have some vehicle that has OnStar on it, you just hit a button. Is that true? Make sure that's true. That might be theoretical.

I think it's true, though. I think they could just shut your car off. That's pretty scary. But they market to you like, look, if someone steals your Corvette, Tom, you just call up. And then we'll have that car shut off. And that person's on the highway and it just pulls over for them. Yeah. Yeah. Scary. Yeah. Well, you know the story about Michael Hastings, right?

Michael Hastings was the reporter for Rolling Stone. This is what they list for stolen vehicles. Can police use OnStar to disable a car? If the vehicle is parked and turned off, the OnStar advisor can use remote ignition block to prevent the engine from being restarted, allowing the police to recover the vehicle. So they can only do it once it's off? That's what that says. Can they... Okay, can police use OnStar to disable a car? Click that. Search for. Below. Below that?

That part. Click that. See if that gives you a different answer. The vehicle's parked and turned off. Same thing. So can it shut off your car while you're driving? Hold on. Can you go back? This is exactly what you're asking. Disable engine and end high-speed chases so it can.

Satellite technology that could disable an engine with a simple push of a button helped end the high-speed chase of a stolen sports utility vehicle in La Porte, resulting in the arrest of Mishawaka Man. And look what it says there. It was reaching 80 miles an hour before the OnStar technology slowed it to 20. So it just basically shut it down. So OnStar...

controlled this guy's car. And they're looking at it like it's a good thing because it is a good thing because this guy was a crazy person, reckless driving, other counts, resisting law enforcement, running from the cops. But...

It's kind of crazy that they could just press a button. So maybe it's something that you didn't really do. Maybe you're a whistleblower for some chemical company that's done something that's illegal, and then people don't want you to, you're going to crash the stock market, and you're on the run, and they know he's got the papers on him, find that fuck. And they just, boom, slow your Cadillac down. Yep.

Spooky. It's kind of spooky, man. It's spooky because we know that people abuse power. It's not spooky. Look, if we had our elected officials were all super enlightened beings that were different than human beings and that only did things according to ethics and rules and morals and knew what was right and what was wrong. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Maybe then you can make a justification. Yeah, but that's not our case. That's not humans. That's not humans. All that stuff's crazy.

Mm-hmm. It's just you're giving too much power to people. And then you could figure out a way to justify it and say, yeah, but what about those people that are running from the cops? You're right. You're right. You're right. But what about someone who's corrupt?

who's got a hold of that technology and they're tracking their ex-wife because she's going to testify against them and they have her whacked. Yeah. That shit happens too. For sure it does. For fucking sure. Yeah. And then if there's no record of it, if you just got some sort of computer and you can just fucking slow down someone's car and then the hitman catches up to him, guns are down or whatever. Yeah. It's a...

I mean, all technology can be abused. 100%. Yeah. Well, we're seeing that with Google searches. Nobody ever thought that you could just manipulate Google searches. Yeah. But you 100% can. I had Robert Epstein on the other day, and he was explaining how it's done and what they do, and they're capturing all these ephemeral –

So like every time Google shows you stories or every time you Google something, they record what Google shows. And every time you Google something about Trump, it's going to show you all the negative. You Google about Kamala Harris can show you all the positive. And just by doing that for the casual voter, they can change the vote by a significant percentage. It's really it's insane. And also the the listening thing, you know, it's like.

I ran into a meta-engineer when I was on the road at a hotel. He was like, oh, I'm a fan. And we just started talking. And I was like, hey, man. Because we had just talked with my tour crew about, this is so fucking, you know. It's the thing you keep going, this is so weird. That we were having this conversation and it's right here. It's A, it's in my algorithm now.

And then also I'm getting emails about this. Very strange. So strange. And then we did like an experiment. I was like, all right, let's just keep talking about Lamborghinis. Like, let's just keep talking about them. And we just kept talking about them in this conversation with our phones out. And then, I don't know, two hours later, we were all sharing like, look at my thing. It's just like my algorithm now has Lamborghinis. And I got an email about a Lamborghini. It's so...

And he goes, he goes, well, you know, we listen.

Right. And I go, well, yeah. I mean, I figure like I know that we all kind of talk about it, but like it's weird to have you confirm it. Did he say they listen when the app is open? We didn't go that far. He was just like, well, you know, we listen to you. Have you ever done an experiment where all your apps are closed and you just start talking about something and see if Google picks that up? Uh-uh. Because that would be interesting. We should do that right now. Okay. Okay. What should we talk about? What would be a good thing? Let's see.

Let me make sure that everything, all my shit is closed. I'm going to close everything. Close. What would be a good thing to talk about that would find out? Let's go something that we don't ever look up. Yeah, something that's not on our radar. High school baseball.

High school baseball is definitely not something I'm interested in. Right. So you don't talk about high school baseball a lot. I never talk about high school baseball. High school baseball is so important because high school baseball teaches you teamwork. It does. And it teaches you how to perform together with friends. You develop camaraderie. You learn how to compete. And high school baseball really is – that is the minor leagues of the minor leagues because if you thrive in high school baseball –

and you're legit a good high school baseball player. Yeah. Then you go to college. You go to college. Then you can go. You can go into the minors, and you could even. Next thing you know, you're in the majors. You're in the fucking Dodgers. It's pretty crazy. And you're balling. And you're driving a Lamborghini. And you're driving a yellow Lamborghini. Okay. Now let's see. How much time do you think it takes before high school baseball? I think it takes a little more. I think you should. I just want to bring up high school baseball. High school baseball. High school baseball. I think high school baseball results.

And also, it's like when you think about high school baseball, you realize that pitching at that level, you're a real outlier if you get above 90 miles an hour. Because there's some high school kids that can pitch like 80, 85. When you start getting high school kids pitching above 90, you're talking about an elite level. A kid with a lot of potential. Big old fella. Long ass arms. He's got that torque. Yeah. Whip. Whip.

Those dudes can whip that ball. So what is the fastest anyone's ever thrown a fastball? That's a great question. Let's guess. Okay, that's a good guess. And I definitely don't know. I know the real baseball fans are going to be like, fucking idiot. But I'm going to guess 112. Is that crazy? I was going to say 118. Okay. That's just a wild guess, though. Is this going to be the— What do you think it is, Jamie? Do you know what it is? Yeah, sort of.

Is this going to be the highest in a game or just the highest? Highest ever. Like the fastest. There must be like, who's the fastest? I bet the guy who's the best ever or fastest ever isn't,

The best. Right. It's probably not the most accurate. It's just like in tennis. Yeah. The craziest speed ever on a serve is not from Federer. Right, right, right, right, right. Like a guy with the hardest punch is not necessarily the best fighter. Exactly. So what is, let's take a guess. You brought up a good point, so I was trying to erase in Major League Baseball from the search if I could. What's the fastest pitch ever thrown? Fastest in Major League Baseball, it's 105.88.

What about in the world record for the fastest ball ever thrown? There's got to be competitions, right? They have those golf competitions where dudes just drive the ball. A thousand percent, yeah. If you could throw a fastball, you would just be in the major leagues.

That's true. They would just figure out a way to get you over the plate. You only have to do it like 10 times and you can make a lot of money. So 105? 105.8, yeah. One guy has done it a bunch of times at 105 and a few people have joined him in the 105, but no one's cracked 106. That must be so fast coming at you. It's terrifying. You ever look at the... From an umpire's perspective? No, but I'm saying... But if you look at...

tennis the high level serve speeds what are their speeds we're talking like into the 130s really yeah like there's probably a guy who's probably done 140 all right I'm opening up Google to see if we get any high school baseball come on Google don't disappoint me

163 for fastest. Jesus Christ. Fastest serve, 163? Fuck. Yeah, and John Eisner is 157. Bro, that's bananas. He's 6'10". So far, it's just wolves and MMA. I think you've got to give that about 30 minutes to an hour and then start again. What do I have? I've got chiropractors, Italian women's feet, people. I've got the debate. I've got upcoming fights.

I got some. Canelo Alvarez. Connor. Sugar Sean O'Malley and Marab Dwabash-Willie. Watches. Watches. Cybertruck. Baseball. But you know what would be interesting, though? Is you check back in an hour. Right. Yeah. That's what I'm going to do. I'm going to keep checking back for high school baseball. And if high school baseball, well, now I'm cheating because I got Google open. I'm going to shut it now. We'll see.

We'll see if they get me. Okay. I should have come up with a product instead of high school baseball. Product's a good idea. Like Lamborghini's a product. They're going to try to sell you the product. That would be a better move. There you go. I should have had a product. What would be the product? But I want it to be a product that I wouldn't ordinarily search. That's why I said high school baseball. Right. Like what's a product that I wouldn't search? Have you searched humidors? No. Humidors. That's a good one. Cigar humidor? Cigar humidor. Yeah.

Cigar humidors. What are the best ones? Yeah. Cigar humidors. What's the difference? There's so many sizes. Are there some that are too crazy and it's overkill? What's the best wood for a cigar humidor? One of my neighbors built a room. He's trying to get away from his wife. He built like a store. He's trying to hide from his wife. He's hiding. I love it. I don't want to do this anymore. I'm in there just...

It's women repellent. Yeah. It's so funny. Yeah, no woman's ever like, mmm. Yeah, they hate it. They think it stinks. It's so funny. They hate it when it's outside. Like, oh, that guy across the street's got a cigar. So nice to start. You know what I did yesterday? Oh, yeah. Sure. I had a gummy, a mushroom gummy. Ooh. It was so good. Just a light one? Yeah. Yeah, just something light. It was nice. Shouldn't that be legal, Tommy Buns? Is it not?

I mean, it kind of is. It depends on the mushroom. I take a lot of functional mushrooms. Over the last six months or so, I've been taking Reiki and Cordyceps. I've got to get you one of these, though. They're really good. Smooth. Very nice. I'm also a bit...

naive as I haven't partaken that much before. So I did mine like before bed. Oh no. And then I put like an eye mask on and I was like, ah, just looking. Oh yeah. I've seen all kinds of shit. And then it's two 30 in the morning and I'm like, I gotta take something else so I can go to bed. Well, when I get riled up late at night,

I always feel like an idiot because I was always like, I've just ruined my sleep. Yeah, that's what I didn't like. If I'm late at night and I've got too many crazy ideas and it starts freaking me out, it just ruins your sleep. And the next thing you know, it's 4 o'clock in the morning and you're out of bed. It fucked me up. I know. It was just my own ignorance. And then if you have a podcast the next day, you've got baggy eyes, you look like shit. Yeah.

And your brain is not working so great. Oh, by the way, one of the best supplements for performance, mental performance, when you are missing sleep is creatine. Really? Like creatine, like the workout supplement? Yeah. Creatine, the workout supplement, it's really good for workouts, but it's also really good for cognitive function.

Didn't know that. Yeah. Never heard that. Well, if you think about it, what creatine does, like Google what exactly what creatine does so I don't fuck this up. But what I think it does essentially is it allows your body to hold on to more water. Yeah. There's more water in the muscles. So it increases muscle volume and it helps. Okay. Here. What does it say? Creatine is a compound body naturally makes. Get it from protein rich foods. It supplies energy to your muscles. It may also promote brain health. Many people take creatine supplements to increase strength, improve performance, and

And help... What happened? What'd you just do? Yeah, but you changed it. I was reading it. Okay. Increase strength, improve performance, and help keep their minds sharp. I've never heard this. But the study, the recent study was the positive effects of creatine on people that are sleep deprived. Interesting. It says an increased energy supply to neurons in the brain, which may help with mood and thinking. Interesting.

So it does something with water. You gain a little weight from it that I think you're storing more water. So you have a bad night of sleep. The next day, yeah. But I take it every day anyway. I've been taking it every day anyway for like the past six months. Really? Yeah, it makes a difference. It really does. It makes a difference in your workouts. But what I think, I try to take as many things as possible that are good for cognitive performance, you know.

Obviously, like doing a podcast, you need that. Increase water. Here it is. Creatine is an osmotically active substance. Thus, any increase in the body's CR content, creatine content, should result in increased water retention and consequent gains in body mass. Well, I knew about the water retention and that it was verified to have, like, it's one of the supplements that you can count on for gains. Yes. It works. But I'd never heard about the...

Yeah. Ever. Yeah. That's more recent. They've been talking about that. You know, it's been used as a muscle supplement since like the 90s or been popular since the 90s. Jamie, what does it say about because there was some sort of a study about creatine supplementation to enhance performance with sleep deprivation?

Because there was this study that was showing that, you know, your cognitive performance when you just have like four or five hours sleep drops off a cliff. You know, I notice it in a big way. I'm just like it's 70% of like my normal.

Single high dose of creatine can temporarily improve cognitive performance during sleep deprivation. This is due to creatine's ability to prevent a drop in pH level, improve processing speed, increase intercellular energy consumption, and increase high extracellular creatine availability. Isn't that awesome? That is so fucking cool. Yeah. I really had no clue about this. Yeah. I take it every day. I had a really poor night's sleep.

like a month or so ago and I was going into my writer's room on my show and that's the, like to me, like when you go, what's the worst things about it when you have no, when you have bad sleep are a physically like your workouts suck. Like it's, it's really rough when you have poor sleep, but mentally, like,

to you know I hate doing a show oh yeah or sleep and to go into a writers room where you're supposed to be you know fast creative yeah talking about all the stories and I took a stimulant dun dun dun holy shit it was like I slept fucking 12 hours I couldn't believe it which one did you take by Vance yeah holy nice

You like it? Oh, my God. I was like, can I get some more? And the person was like, I'm not supposed to give you this. It was amazing. I think you have ADD or ADHD, whatever the fuck it is. Confirmed. I think so. But I couldn't... I think we both need Vyvanse, whatever it is. It's fucking awesome. Isn't that the guy who's the vice president under Trump? No, J.D. Vance. Yeah, J.D. Vance, the creator of Vyvanse. I couldn't believe, though, how...

I mean, I was really dragging. I was like on one of those, I slept three and a half, four hours. And all of a sudden, bam. I mean, firing on all cylinders. Really? It was like I had a great night's sleep. Really? I could not believe it. What's the come down like? Not that bad. Really? No. Apparently, that's one of the- Don't tell me on this.

Don't do it. The big difference is that the crash from Adderall. I never did Adderall. I never had it. But people talk about the post-Adderall crash. But-

The Vyvanse, I was like, yeah, I feel fine. They got it nailed. Yeah. These motherfuckers. They fucking nailed it, dude. These motherfuckers. And, yeah. Yo, there's a lot of people out there just turning and grinding all day on amphetamines. That's what it is. Yeah. Yeah, it's pretty incredible. I can't believe I'm bringing it up again, but that book over there, Blitzed, is a Norman Ohler book about the Nazis during the Blitzkrieg campaign. They were all on meth. All of them.

And then, you know, a lot of people don't. I talk about it on stage, but people don't know that Hitler was on a lot of cocaine, too. Oh, Hitler was on a lot of oxycodone, too. Yeah, but the coke part was always like...

To me, the thing that I was like, wait, what? And it was his doctor that was giving it to him. That's what that book's all about. It's really fascinating how the whole army was all methed out. Oh, yeah. And they would give more meth to the people that were on the front lines. Like the tank guys, they got the most meth. Just fucking meth them up. Makes sense. People on meth. What is it? People on...

People on meth love confrontation. You know, like they are. Aggressive. Yeah, they seek out confrontation. So I remember I talked to Dr. Drew one time. He goes, people on cocaine run from the cops and people on meth run towards the cops. Really? Yeah. So he's like, you get people like a really like serious coke problem, they see a uniform and they bolt.

Whoa. And then people on meth, like when dealing with real meth, people, they see cops and they're like, what's up, bitch? And they're like, they want confrontation with uniforms. Like, they just seek it out. That's fucking what they do. Did you see that football player get pulled over? Yeah, man. That was fucking wild. Tyreek Hill? Yeah. Yeah. On the way to the Dolphins game? It's interesting. He just didn't want to roll his window down. I know. And I understand, like...

There's like a lot of people weighing in on, you know, the nuances of this whole thing because it's layered. It's not – but it's like – I mean, look –

I'll never have Tyreek Hill's experience, you know, like as being a black guy in America and in a McLaren and I don't know what it's like to get pulled over by cops. My whole thing with cops, if I get pulled over, I always try to be like, yes, 10 and 2. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Now he like people are right. It's not against the law to be to not be like that. We're allowed to fucking to be like.

Whatever. Hurry up and fucking figure this out. You can do that. But I just feel like it's not de-escalating things. Right. But then those cops were fucking hot. Yeah. You could tell. The one in particular felt like to me watching it that he was... He had felt... Maybe humiliated by also either somebody he recognized or just somebody with wealth who is...

feeling entitled that he wanted to show the other cops yeah that like i don't take any shit which i feel like it's a human emotion but then but you can't have that human emotion as a cop you can't you can't act on it for sure you can't just fucking throw somebody yeah to the ground and cuff them as if they're a dangerous criminal like like he's like he was a violent offender right it was really fucking nuts it is nuts the whole thing's nuts it's not it's nuts but it's also it's like

It's nuts both ways, right? It's like roll the window down. Roll the window down is obvious. Say yes, sir. I don't know what the- Give your driver's license. You're speeding. You're going 103 miles an hour. What are they alleging? I don't know what his issue was. He just didn't feel like it. It's a fun car. That's a fucking fun car. That's a fun car, bro. Is that a 765? I don't know what it is. I don't know anything about McLarens, but it's fucking dope. They're so bad. I know. I remember when you were reviewing one, when you had that car thing you were doing for a while. Yeah, dude. They were giving me-

I've driven a lot of the lineup. I've driven the 600LT, the 720. How come you never got one? I don't know. I should get one. I just drove the new 750S. It's fucking phenomenal. But they're making cars that just a rich knucklehead can buy that has the most insane speed and power. I remember when they sent me. I've driven, like I said, a lot of the lineup. When I drove the 765LT.

I remember talking to, at the time, he was with McLaren and F1, Daniel Ricciardo. And I was like, dude, I just drove this fucking thing. And I've never, I've been driven a lot of cars. I've never been more scared of what could happen in a car. You know, I was just, I was driving down the 110 and we were doing like 70 and it was just open road. And I had somebody in the passenger seat and he was like, punch it. And I'm like,

I mean, in the blink of an eye, we're just, we're going 130 and, and it's just like, it's so fast and so responsive, you know, the slightest input. And I was like, this is, this is a, it was a, it was a scary feeling where I go, I want to hand this in. Like I want to turn this in right now. And I also want to order one, you know, like the both things were like, I know this is bad for me, but can I get some more Vyvanse? Cause this is fucking pretty cool. Like that's what it felt like. It was, it was terrifying and seductive,

But the conversation that I had with him, I was like, it's crazy that you can just buy this. Yeah. And have that there's no skill requirement associated. And he and other automotive journalists were like, oh, yeah, you should definitely have to prove something. Yeah. To drive something like this. Well,

Look at that thing. Yeah. Or think about the Corvette ZR1. So that has an even lower bar to entry. That's like 200 grand, right? What's a ZR1, the new one? I don't know. I don't know the price on that. But that thing's insanity. That's like 1,100 horsepower, right? Really crazy, yeah. Insane. Rear wheel drive car. And all the manufacturers keep getting crazier and crazier. Crazier and crazier and crazier. And then you get to the electric stuff. It's also like, it's a missile. Why?

1,064. So it's almost 1,100 horsepower. Fucking bananas. That's so much power for a car. It used to be if a car had 400 horsepower. Like I remember I got a Porsche Turbo in like 2003, and it was 420 horsepower. I was like, this is crazy. That's a bonkers number. It was crazy back then. What does this go for?

Yeah. Just Google MSRP for a ZR1. You really can't get one. You have to have an allocation, right? There's probably... Is that one? One for sale? That's the 3L. $129,000. That's the most.

Oh, it's no six? Yeah. Oh, that's a Z06. Yeah. Yeah, Z06 is pretty fucking incredible, too. So that's $129,000. Oh, there you go. The ZR1's probably, yeah, $200,000. $200,000 Corvette, while others believe that it will start for much less than that. Oh, so they haven't really got the price out there yet. Oh. Wow. Yeah, that 765 is like $400,000. It's expected to start. $400,000 is so crazy. Well, then you got that Hennessey, that Venom thing, that's $3 million. Yeah. Yeah.

So you get like, like Cognos eggs, Pagani. Yeah. Have you seen that Bugatti that has all of its instrumentation is all mechanical, like a beautiful watch and the steering wheel turns around the gauge cluster. So the gauge cluster maintains in the center of the wheel and your steering wheel turns around it and it never moves. No, it's fucking magnificent.

And what is this in? A Bugatti. Oh, wow. I'm not even a Bugatti guy. Yeah. Because Bugatti to me is like, look at my dick. Yeah, yeah. That's Bugatti, you know? But look at that fucking thing. Yeah, no, they're sexy pieces of art. See if you can find the gauge cluster. Because the gauge cluster is just complete insanity. Scroll up towards, so they get to the interior. I know they have to show, there it is. They're going to show it. So that's the gauge cluster. Oh. So the steering wheel spins around that stuff. Wow. So all that stuff sits behind.

behind the wheel and it's all mechanical clocks like look at it it's digital and mechanical at the same time oh he's going over it here yeah I mean it is just a piece of art and this is definitely like three and a half million dollars oh crazy money if you could get one right it's probably five million but you probably can't even get 3.8 million pounds or is that

Is that pounds or euros? What is that little thing, squiggly thing? That's pounds. Pounds. So what is 3.8 million pounds? I mean, it's over $4 million. It's an incredible car. But, I mean, you basically have a house. You're driving around a fucking house. That's too crazy. And look at that little touchscreen pops up. Look at that screen. Whee!

Look how it spins around, says Bugatti. Ooh, baby. Why are you laughing? Why does it have to spin around? Why didn't it just come out the way it needs to? Because it's like, look at my dick! It's a total look at my dick. It's a big old Italian dick. Hey, Joey, look at my dick. It's incredible. That's incredible. Yeah. The technology is just... I mean, it always... It's like, what will be around in 20 years? Because I got to say, when Bugatti, Pagani, and Kona... When they do these things...

I always think this is outrageous, but I'm also like, it's so cool that you have a spaceship. That's basically getting into- It's a ground ship. Yeah. Do you know Sam Altman? He's always the head of OpenAI. Yeah. He's always kind of said, I'm not doing this for money. I don't make any money. And they just busted him in a $4 million Kona Seg. They did? Yes. Oh, that's awesome. See if you can find that car, the video of him in that car. Oh, I don't need money. But me, money? I'm not even interested in money. He's driving around in a $4 million Kona Seg. Oh my God.

Look at it. Oh, my God. Go back to the beginning so you can see him get in it. Does it show him get in it? No. That's him in his fucking. Yeah. Elon was mocking him. Look at that. Got a $4 million car. There he is. Hi, busted. Hey, bro. Hey, bro. I think you like money.

Like, you don't buy one of those unless you really want to get rich. Yeah. And you also want everyone to know how fucking rich you are. You want everyone to know how rich. And you're rich right now enough. I don't have a $4 million car. I wouldn't drive that. I'd be freaked out. I can't drive. I can't park it anywhere. What am I going to do?

That's crazy. It's insane. So that means he's got way more money than me. It's like, how much money do you get? How much money do you make? What are you doing? What are you doing that you're driving a $4 million car? That's so crazy. And you're telling everybody you're not trying to make money? I don't make a ton of money. I just have a car.

If you're not interested in money, you get a Mercedes. You get a nice S-Class and people get mad at you. You really want people to not get mad at you? Get a Lexus. Get an LS500, cruise around in style. No one's going to get mad at you. Yeah, they're fine with that. You have a $4 million car. Hyper car. And you're involved in artificial intelligence.

and it's supposed to be open AI, and then all of a sudden it became a private company. There's a lot of weirdness with what happened with the money. Do you know? Yeah, the amount. Oh, Sam Altman Car Collection. He's got a McLaren F1. Two McLarens. He's got the F1? He's got some cheddar. Well, he probably already had a bunch of money already, right? So how did he come into open AI? They said he's worth over $2 billion. Well, there you go. So he's got a $4 million car. That's why. He's got $2 billion? Yeah. Him and his husband, yeah, his partner. Shazam!

Yeah, that checks out. And also disposable income because you ain't making no kids. Yeah. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go, dude. $4 million car. I don't want that shit money. This money's not important. What did Elon say about it? Because it was something about Elon mocking him. It's like, because, you know, Elon was a part of open AI in the beginning. Then he was like, hey, this isn't so open. Right. What's going on here? He brought up the threat that this is.

Elon mocks Open... What is he saying? How's he mocking him? Oh, what does it say? Open AI driving one of those expensive cars. How did Open AI become a for-profit business when it was a non-profit? Great question. Elon says, great question. But also, if this guy was already a billionaire. So was he a billionaire before Open AI? I think this was...

Probably separate from... I remember when that happened on Twitter. I just think someone's adding that in with this video of him in the car. Oh, are they? Yeah. Oh, those dirty bitches. He was around the same time. What's the... He's making a point. You sure that wasn't quoting the actual video? It could have been, but I don't think so. It might be. What's the origin of his money? That's a good question. What's the origin of Sam Altman's wealth? Where'd he make all the... Cheddar. Cheddar.

Where he's got a $4 million car. Billions. A $4 million car is also like, look at my dick. Yeah, big time. It's just like the Bugatti. It's a huge flex. Look at my dick. According to just a quick search, there's various investments through his venture capital firm, including Airbnb, Stripe. Oh, Airbnb was a big one for him. So he's balling. He was already balling. So don't be hating, kids. Fine. The guy's making it.

It's out there rocking in the free world. Fucking rad. Yeah. The thing about those cars, those cars are really fun, but you know what my most fun car to drive is? Actually, the most engaging car is my little air-cooled 964, that Porsche RS America. It's not the fastest. Yep. Not the fastest by any stretch of the imagination. It's slow. My favorite is my slowest, too. Which one? My GT4. Yeah. It has that.

Daman upgrade. Yeah, but that car is way faster than my car. That car is pretty fucking fast. It's pretty fast, but it's not like...

I think everything else I have is almost faster than it. So it's just engaging. Yes. Yeah. And it puts the biggest smile on my face. Right. It's very fun. Yeah, that's like my white car, the GG3 RS, the Shark Works car. Same kind of thing. It's just real raw. But they're not as raw as that little red car. That little red car is like you're on an awesome ride at Disneyland. Yeah. Where you're in control. You feel everything. No power steering. Yeah.

There's power-assisted brakes. There's no air conditioning, no heat, no nothing. Light as fuck. 300 horsepower. And it's just a thrill. And it's just... And you just... It just makes your whole body tingle. Yeah. It's exciting. That is, to me, the most fun thing to do. You don't have to be going fast. No. That's what's crazy. Merging on the highway, getting to 65 miles an hour is a fucking thrill. Yeah. That's the best. Whereas in the Tesla, it's like...

It's just no sound. All of a sudden you're going 70. You don't even notice it. That car is like. The problem with some of these like faster cars that I have and that exist is that a lot of times when you take them out, you're like, yeah, I'm not really getting to drive this thing. Right. You know, because if you're going 75. Right. You have to go to a track. You have to. Yeah, you have to. You have to enjoy it. Yeah. Yeah. And how often do you do that? That's the fucking thing is that like you tell yourself.

We've been doing it together. Yeah. And you're like, I want to do this all the time. Let's do it next month. It's hard to do, man. Let's definitely do it. Well, next month we probably can't because next month is F1. But after F1's out. After F1. Yeah, after F1's we'll do another day. The ultimate baller move. The ultimate. Like all these guys, they want to get fucking Chateaus and France and Paule. This is the ultimate baller move. You get a giant piece of land that's flat and you put yourself a fucking racetrack on it.

Let's go. Somebody did this in Austin. Let's go. It's for sale, I think. What? Yeah, in the greater Austin area. Don't tell me this. I swear to God. Don't tell me this. Don't do this. And then a guy, a billionaire in Japan just built one. Now you're talking. Yeah. That's what I want. He built a track that you can...

You can get a membership at his track. Oh, that's pretty dope. It's pretty fucking cool. That's a good move. So if you know some cool car people, you can hang out together. Yeah. You don't want to be alone on your track going, nobody saw my laptop. Cali has that out in Indigo. Oh, yeah? That area. It's a private...

like a really nice track that has like a country club. It has a restaurant and you can house your cars there. That'd be so addictive. I know. So addictive. I know. Even just in a Miata, just going around in something fun, small. Miatas are amazing for a track. Right. It's like, that's what I'm saying. It's like, it's not about how fast you go. It's about how much fun it is to go fast. Like there's cars that go way, like my Tesla, it's the best example. It goes way faster than anything else I own.

own. But it's not as fun. No. There's a fun factor to the roar of the engine, the feeling of the tires, the shifting the gears yourself, all of it. The

The fun part. The fun is just, I mean, that's the joy of it. That's why you keep getting them. And everybody today is chasing numbers. They're all chasing Nürburgring times and zero to 60s and quarter miles. Yeah, and it makes you lose sight of the real thrill of driving. It's also dangerous for everybody on the street. You got these five-anced up kids out there with a fucking ZR1. There's a replica of the Istanbul F1 track in Texas, and it's for sale.

Holy shit. Isn't that crazy? Guy's got an F1 track in his fucking yard. Isn't that nuts, man? That's nuts. And I feel like it's very Texas. Where is that? This is like the state where you can do that. That looks like it's down by the ocean. It's in Amarillo. Scroll up a little so I can see that image better. Yeah. Is that the ocean in the back? What's that blue shit? I think that's just the old... Oklahoma. Oklahoma.

If it says it's Amarillo, it's all the way up in Oklahoma. Oh, is that where Amarillo is? Yeah. Oh, I don't know where Amarillo is. It's in the top tip top. 50-acre complex for sale. Click on it. How much? For a reasonable price, it says. Let's go, Joe. Let's go. Two million bucks. Hang on. For real? Hang on. Hang on. This thing just got juicy. How far is that drive? Find out how far that drive is. Five hours. How far is that flight? 20 minutes. There you go. Pretty quick. Let's go. Let's go.

Ship cars there once. Don't make me do this. Come on, dude. Well, I want to get a ranch. I've been talking about getting a ranch for a while. There's one for sale right there. But I want a different kind of ranch. No, you don't. You want that one. I want a survival ranch. It's right there. Survival right on the outside. That's not survival ranch. It is. It's acres and acres, man. This is a small portion of it. I had Chris Harris on the other day. Yeah. I'd love that dude. Yeah, that dude can drive. If we had a track, oh, there's an airport right next to it? Yeah. God damn it.

If we had a track like real close and we could take Chris Harris out, how much fun would that be? Awesome. That dude's so fucking great. I love watching him drive too. He's fucking fantastic. He loves cars, man. When you're around like someone who really loves cars, he loves all kinds of cars too. He knows his shit. I like watching his videos. They're great. Yeah. Fun dude. He got bucked over on that whole Top Gear deal. He did? Yeah. Top Gear story, how it ended is horrible.

Ended due to an accident. And he apparently had gone to the producer saying, we have to stop pushing this. Someone's going to get hurt or killed. And then someone got hurt real bad. But he's a real big guy, though. And he got fucked up from this, flipped over a three-wheeler. He got really fucked up but survived. And then they killed the show. Really? Yeah. It was crazy.

After he had kind of worn them. He also experienced a shit ton of online hate because he was replacing Jeremy Clarkson. So everybody fucking hated him. But meanwhile, he's like the best auto journalist there is. He's so fun. He's such a good guy. And people are mad that he's not Jeremy Clarkson. Like, hey, Jeremy Clarkson's still on the air, you fucking idiots. Yeah. Go over to the Amazon, get the Jeremy Clarkson. It's great. Go watch that too, you fucking morons. No, that's too bad. I think Chris does...

Great work. I love watching him review stuff. And you can tell, like, not only is he skilled when he's on track, but that he's genuinely having a good time. You can tell he loves it. Oh, he's smiling and laughing. He's going to do more of his own stuff. Good. Him and I were, yeah, we were talking about that. I was encouraging that. I was like, you really need to be doing your own thing. Like, you're so good at automotive journalists. You're so fun. People love watching you. You should be doing your own show online. You shouldn't be dealing with other people. There's no need for that.

And also like the Top Gear, Top Gear is a great show and everything like that, but they all want to do like crazy stunts. Like they threw a car off the side of a bridge with a bungee cord attached to it. Like, my. Why? Why? Why? They get to a point on all these shows where it's just a producer pitching a segment. And what we were saying was for television, that's what people like. But for the internet, like for YouTube, completely different audience. Then you get enthusiasts. Yeah.

So if you get the newest GT3 RS and Chris Harris is reviewing it, it'll have millions of views. Because people want to see a guy who can really fucking drive, who really loves cars and understands them review the car. I'm like, that's where you're at your best, man. A thousand percent. For the enthusiasts, not for the casual dorks who want to see a car go off a dam on a bungee cord. Yeah, but I mean, also on those internet videos, too, the great thing is you get their, somebody like him gives you an authentic review.

Yes. And they give you authentic critiques. Yes. They're like, you know what? They change the seats on this new and it's not as good. Or they'll talk about the suspense. And they'll give you like the insight that if you're really thinking about getting that car, you go like, oh, maybe I want the previous generation. Like they give you real insight. Yeah.

Yeah, exactly. Yeah, he gives a lot of good criticism. Matt Farah does a great job with that, too. Matt does awesome with that. Matt's awesome. There's a couple other guys that do that stuff, the straight pipes. Chris works with Singer. And Singer is doing a turbo now. Yeah, they are. Oh, my God. There's a green one. He went to go to the factory and they're showing it.

Their attention to detail is so fucking incredible. Singer number one, the very first ones here in Austin. Really? Yeah, I saw it in person. What's it like in person? Pretty cool. They're fucking, it's cool. It's a...

a guy who has a few and he's like, he's like, here's number one. That's probably worth a lot of money. Yeah. So you can find the singer turbo video with Chris Harris. Cause it's a, I just want to see the green one. And in, in, and it's like, it looks kind of like an old nine 11 turbo. Yeah, that's it. That's it. Yeah, that's it. But it's, it looks kind of like an old nine 11 turbo. But then when you see the details of it, you're like, Oh,

They do an awesome job. This is way better than a regular. They're fucking gorgeous. Way better than a regular. See if you can find the video. Because the video is incredible, dude. No, that's the video of his original car. This is how I felt. Click that real quick. Because that was before Singer. He had this car made. And this is... Oh, no, this is Singer. Okay, this is the...

This is a different one. This is just a, how many years ago is this? 22. Okay. This is the dynamics and lightweight study one. This is the crazy $3 million singer. Oh my God. This one's different. This one's not a turbo. This is their super lightweight, incredible car. This car is incredible. Yeah. Oh yeah. He fucking nails it. But this car is crazy, crazy expensive.

Yeah, $3 million. Yeah, but it's immaculate. Immaculate. Singer turbos. Put in turbo. Singer, turbo, green. Go to videos. Click on videos. And go to recent. Okay, right there. Where it says more than 10 years? Click that. There you go. Bam. Okay, this is it. So look at that fucking thing. So this is the turbo. So it looks kind of like...

A 911 Turbo from, like, whatever year that would be, like, 1980 or whatever the fuck it was. But it's way more smooth and polished and refined. And it just, when you see it parked and still, it's just amazing. Like, their attention to detail is just off the fucking charts, man. Yeah. Like, this, go back so you can see. So, that was, that's the car. Yeah.

So they're just going over all the things that they massaged and changed on the car and all the details where you get a sense of what it looks like. Look at that thing. That is fucking rad. Cars don't get prettier. They just get different.

They don't get prettier than that. They just get different. And then that dark, cool, metallic green, like, look at that thing. I would get talked into this in this moment if they were like, and then you want it? And I'd be like, yeah. How much do you think that fucker costs? Because that's not as much as the DLR. No, it's not. I think, I don't know, you're probably... Or DLS. You get...

I mean, there's so much customization involved in it though. Probably a million bucks. That or just under, you know, around there. I think they can make these from what I remember for a little bit less than what they were making the, cause they were just doing nine, six, fours before I think, right. That they can make these. That's not a nine, six, four chassis. They don't start with a nine, six, four on the turbo. I don't know. I'm saying on the pre, like, you know, the singers were all just one, uh,

Model before. Right. Those were more expensive for them to just even produce. Singer DLS turbo. Oh, boy. So starts as a 964. But this is a DLS turbo. That's a different one. That's a different one. Look how sick that thing looks. That is another level. That's the dynamic lightweight study model.

Porsche Turbo, which is bananas. That thing works. That doesn't look anything like anything that's ever existed before. No. And that's the difference. Definitely more expensive. Oh, yeah. But the one we were just looking at, I think you could produce those. Look at that thing. That's insane looking. God, that thing's insane looking. Are you going to make a phone call? No, no. Get away from me.

There's like a line where I won't cross. Really? Yeah, yeah, yeah. What's the line? That's the line. Oh, really? Yeah. That looks fucking amazing. Insane. You start getting into million-dollar cars, like, what are we doing? That's okay. What the fuck are we doing here? Fine. Yeah, it's just... No, that's true. It's not a Bugatti. It's also a different kind of thing than a, look at my dick. You know, it's more of like, oh, you know cars. You're a passionate guy. Yeah, you know what the fuck gets the wheel spinning. That's, yeah. That's...

That's fucking gorgeous. I just love that there's people like the Gunther Works guy. There's people out there making those things. So fucking cool. I just love that there's someone who just goes so hard. A roof? Yeah. They're not even really Porsches, right? I don't know. They can't even really call them a Porsche. They call them roofs, yeah. But it looks exactly like a Porsche. Like, what is this? I definitely want to see what it's like. Like, go to a roof's website. R-U-F.

When you see the new one that they have, that crazy, it's water-cooled, right? But it looks like an air-cooled car, right? Yeah, I've never been in one. I've just seen photos and videos and stuff. It makes you go, what's this like? It must be insane. And there's these cars like that that are just completely, look at that. That's a 993 Turbo base. And so that's their Turbo R that they make. Look at that fucking thing.

So this is the one, these are the ones that are weird. The ones that aren't, like, scroll up, scroll back up. Rough car, so that one. So CTR Anniversary. So that one, I don't think is a Porsche. Really? I don't think it starts off as a Porsche. I think it's all their shit. And it just makes it look like. It looks exactly like a Porsche, but I don't believe it has, I think it's a new car. Yeah, see, Monocue completely developed by Rough.

Roof, rather. It's a type of aviation, a CTR, reminiscent of the legendary Yellowbird. So the Yellowbird was a Porsche. There was a roof Yellowbird from, like, what was it, like the 80s? Remember that one? That Porsche one that was crazy? But this is not really a Porsche. This is a roof car that they make. That just looks... They're basically ripping off Porsche. Really? Yeah. I mean...

What about the other ones are modified Porsches? Exactly. The other one, that one was a 993. That was like they take the base 993 and they juice it up. But this one, I think, is entirely developed by them. Wow. Yeah. It's supposed to be madness. It's supposed to be total madness. Roof, holler at me, man. Completely redesigned. Yeah. Scroll up so I can see the image of the front. Look at that fucking thing. Woof. So fucking cool.

fucking cool. And look how fat the tires are. That thing has some grip. Yeah, you get it too why you encounter these people with just like nothing but Porsches. Yeah. It's just so, there's something about them. Yeah. What about the other one that you guys made? Yeah. Like you just kind of want to keep going. Yeah, there's also something about the size of them, right? They're so small and compact that when you're in them, you feel like you're in a race car. Yeah. Yeah.

hunkered in there there's something weird about even though these get obviously very expensive that feel I've always felt like it's a more accessible to the world car right than other supercars you know what I mean like you see one parked you can see a Porsche parked in a grocery store parking lot right and like you're just like oh that's fucking rad but you see a Lambo and you're like what the fuck is this person doing right like this guy's out of his mind yeah it just doesn't feel like it fits you get a pink Lambo with the HEB parking lot it's crazy get out of here bro it's crazy yeah

Yeah. Coming out with giant sunglasses on, looking for attention to wrap around. He's just trying to get punched.

Sam and his fucking conus egg. Yeah. That's ridiculous. There's so many people that see people like that too and they really want to smack them. Yeah. They see you with that thing and like, I just want to smack that guy and it's fucking stupid. Yeah, nobody has any like sympathy for you on the road if you're in something like that. And you crash? Ha ha. Or like try to merge people. Fuck off. Fuck you. Fuck you. You can't get in front of me, douchebag. Yeah, a thousand percent. You got to go somewhere? No, no, I was just looking at what it was. Sorry. Sorry. Oh.

Addictive, man. I know. They're addictive. You ever thought of going to a flip phone? Oh, Ari style? Yeah. Wasn't that Dana too? Dana had it in the beginning. He had a flip phone early on. But then it got to the point where he has to manage the social media of the UFC. So he has to be able to look at things online. He's saying your praises. We were with him in Vegas talking about you. Fucking guy loves you, man. I love him too. Yeah. He's great.

If it wasn't for him, that sport would not be what it is. He told us a story about him clearing out the New York offices. Oh, yeah. And he put it in the VA. He's checking tapes. Yeah. And he sees you on Keenan Ivory Wains. Yeah, yeah. That's what it was. He was like, I need this fucking guy. It was crazy because in the beginning I didn't even want to do it.

When he was trying to get him, because I had already worked for the UFC in the past from 97 to 98. I did post-fight interviews and I was like, I'm out. And then they bought it in 2001 and he was trying to talk me into working for them. I'm like...

Really? Yeah, I was like, I don't want to do this. But I would ask him, you know, hey, have you ever watched K-1? Do you guys watch Pride? Do you know about this guy? Have you ever seen Funaki fight? Have you seen Hicks and Gracie? He's even better than Hoyce. Like, we started having these conversations, and he was like, how much of this shit do you watch? I was like, it's the only sport I know. I don't even know the rules to basketball. And they blow that whistle. I don't know what the fuck is going on. That's hilarious. I don't know any of the rules. I told him the story about how when I would go with you on these weekends—

And I'm like, you know, just like as a fan of sports and broadcasting, I was like, so where's like your prep book? You know, like and you're like, it's all up here. And I'm like, what are you talking about? You're about to call seven hours. And you said you go, there's nothing else up here cluttering my mind with other sports. I only know one sport. Yeah. Yeah. But that's true. I mean, I do watch fights regularly.

But when I watch fights, I don't have to say, oh, this guy's got a great question mark. I know what he does. I know what that guy does. Yeah, that's impressive, though. I've seen him fight 100 times. But it really is true that I don't have any clutter in there. Yeah, I believe it. I don't have any football in there. I don't know what's going on with football. What's offside? Why has he got a flag? What's a down? Why is it first down now? What is happening?

Oh, that guy got hurt. That's all I know. Oh, that was a bad. Well, he ran with the ball pretty far. I don't know what's going on and I don't want to know. I don't care. I can still enjoy it. Sure. I have room for a couple of things in my head, you know, like combat sports things and I just smash them all together. If you had to put something that interests you even somewhat outside of combat sports, MMA and all that, what, what sport would be like second? I mean, it's a distant second, but what would be the one where you're like, Oh, I enjoy that.

Where a sport that I don't participate that I can watch? Yeah. Like that you would sit down and – Outside of combat sports? Yeah. If somebody had it on, you'd be like, all right, I'll watch some of this with you.

Maybe would be like what's going on with cricket? What are you guys doing cricket? Yeah, I'll be like what is that the hell's happening really? Why I got that paddle you'd be I'll tell you what I really liked watching is soccer We went to the Austin professional soccer. Yeah, yeah soccer is legit Here's one of the reasons why soccer is legit and why it's not gonna become successful in America is because they don't take breaks So there's no fucking commercial time. Yeah, there's no time to shove Taco Bell down your face. They don't take any no breaks. Oh

Really? Nope. Nope. It goes for a certain amount of time. I forget how long a soccer match is. But it's increased in its popularity tenfold here in the last decade. I'm telling you, if you go to see it live, it's fucking... I've been to multiple games. Incredible, right? Yeah, it's unbelievable. And the arena they have here in Austin is amazing. It's great. You don't realize that it's compared to what we're used to for like...

football stadiums. Right. It's small. It doesn't feel small because every seat in that house is fantastic. Yep. And it's, yeah, it's great competition. We keep getting better players here. I mean, I was somebody who, you know, I grew up not into soccer at all and half my family was like, what's wrong with you? Because they're all South American. Right. And Argentina, it's fucking huge, right? Argentina, it's the fucking, it's,

Bigger than religion. It is religion. And I mean, my Peruvian cousins were all like, how do you not like soccer? The whole world loves it. The whole world loves it. But I do think it's cool that in the last... For me, in the last...

Decade plus. First of all, we lived in a time with some generational talent, you know, with like Ronaldo and Messi. And it's like shifting now to Mbappe and these just incredible, incredible talents. So I think high level anything becomes interesting. When I would watch the El Clasico, the Madrid-Barcelona game at the height of these guys' talent.

club powers in the, like, 10 years ago. You're watching such a high-stakes, high-level game. You can have zero interest and you're like, holy shit, this is so incredible. And I think that and Premier League stuff kind of, you know, it just, it kind of drifted over to the point where we're like, hey, you know, soccer's been played

here forever just didn't have that same popularity but this mls stuff has continued to grow and grow and people you know i remember saturday mornings uh during our football season a lot of times you you're putting it on now and you'll see um soccer games like um from the premier league was on nbc for a while i don't know if they still have that contract but here you go um but like it just has and they keep getting you know better talent

On the state side, I think we'll continue to see it become more popular here. If you go see it live, you'll get hooked. I'll tell you that. Yeah, the MLS games are... I bet tennis is like that, too. Oh, my God. I got to see... I was on tour in Australia last year, and I got to see the Australian Open men's finals with Djokovic. Yeah. Seeing that in person... There's also not a bad seat in that place...

it's a whole other thing. It made me go, okay, I want to go to all the big. Really? Wimbledon. Really? He was just incredible to see in person. Again, just somebody so talented at their sport that watching it live changed. I played tennis growing up, and I've watched tennis tournaments, but live is everything. I mean, I've told people that about...

UFC too. It's like, yeah, it's cool to watch on TV, but it's so different in person. Yeah, especially with no commentary. You're just watching the actual violence. Like, oh my God. It's right there. It seems so real. Yeah. And then you have a moment of like the sound of the crowd dies and you hear a – Yeah. And you're like, oh, that's that guy's face. And everybody goes, oh, wow. It's like, holy shit. My favorite place to see fights is in the Apex Center.

Because the UFC Apex Center has no audience? Yeah, it's so small. It's incredible. And during COVID, that was the best thing about COVID for me. How about the Sphere thing? It's going to be nuts. That's this weekend. I know. I know. Yeah, I'm pretty pumped. I don't know what they're going to do. I don't know if they're going to show the fights on the ceiling. So you know how they have video monitors in the studio where you always see the video monitors are showing you the fights of the people that- Well, he told us what they're doing.

Can you say it? I mean, I don't know. We were on a podcast. I don't think it's been released, but you didn't know that. Tell me. Dude, he's like, it's a fucking, it's a movie that's going to play about the history. Of Mexican combat sports. I know about that. There's six of them. There's six different small films. Yeah, okay. That's what he was telling us about. And he was just like, it's all, everything is authenticated and like, you know, and the crew that made it is Mexican. It's just like this huge Mexican plight story. Yeah.

And, I mean, I don't know if the broadcast goes up on the wall. That's what I'm thinking. I'm wondering if you can see the fights take place on the ceiling. Jesus. Which would be an advantage in certain positions. No, I have not. Have you? No, I heard it's just... I've heard it's insane. What did Burt go to see there? The dead? He's seen a few there. He saw the... Of course he has. He's...

He saw the dead and he went to the U2 show when they were there, too. Oh, wow. He said, yeah. I cried so much. Of course. Yeah. Emotional. Yeah. I cried the whole time. Your liver's failing. My daughters were making fun of me. They should. Yeah. They should mock you. He doesn't just cry. He likes to take photos of him crying and then post it on Instagram. I'm so sad. My daughter went to college. Look. Is this one good? How many did he take before he picked that one? One.

He was a fucking mess when I saw him. Of course. Yeah, the college drop-off has got to be heavy. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, he was... He's a character. He was on one. He was in a fucking bender. How's he doing these days? He benders, he goes off, he goes on. Yeah, he's on the... He cleaned up for a little while and then he went right back in. He's on a Burt cycle. Yeah. Yeah, he was real clean and then he... My favorite, he was like, we were somewhere in Vegas and somebody was like, you know, do you want this? He's like, can't, I'm hardcore Quito.

And I was like, okay. And then we go to this. I'm like, okay. We twisted your head. That's such a burp. And then we go to this bar and we're pouring drinks, poroso drinks, you know, we're like our brand and it's like tons of people. And it's a very fun thing. Everyone's out and.

getting bottles and drinks and we're signing things and then and of course like you know he's throwing him back he's throwing back and at one point he's standing there shirtless and he goes i'm fucking i'm absolutely fucking shit face i go yeah i can tell and so i go um hey you know some time passes i go you want to get out of here he's like yeah i go okay we're gonna go this way out of this place and here's the exit he's like okay so i turn this way say something then i get ready he goes i'm gonna fucking stay and i go okay i'll see you later man so

Really? I leave. I get the fuck out of there. And then I run into him later. I'm like, how was it? He was like, oh, he's like, dude, I was so hammered. I go, yeah, I know. He goes, yeah, I got back and I ate a dozen donuts. I go, what happened to hardcore keto? He goes, well, I just ate the tops. And I go, that's not how keto works. That's even worse. That's where all the frosting is. What are you talking about? He's a lunatic. Oh, my God. He's still alive. Mm-hmm. I wonder how long he can do that for.

I mean, how long can you do that for? Yeah. He goes, he does it. And then, you know, what'll happen is like, so he's like, whatever, real crazy right now. And we'll see him in like a month and he'll be like, oh yeah. My other favorite phrase, he's like, I quit, quit drinking. I go, when? He goes, Wednesday. And I'm like, but it's fucking Friday. He's like, I know, but it's like 48 hours, nothing. I'm like, that's not, that's a normal person. That's not how that term works.

And he's like, but so he'll get, he'll get to one, a certain point here where he'll be like, I got to clean it up. And he'll just like really clean it up. You know, like won't drink for a while. Clean up the diet. You'll see him just like thin out. He takes a picture on Instagram. Takes a good picture. Sucks his gut in. Sexy picture. This is me now. And then you'll be like, oh, you're good. Three weeks later. Huge. Yeah. It was just, it's a cycle. Three weeks later, I see him waddle through the fucking green room at the mothership. I'm like, what the fuck, dude?

The fuck are you doing? I know. He goes hard. He goes hard, dude. He goes hard. I've been going hard with eating just super clean, man. Yeah? Yeah. Yeah? How long? A couple months in. Yeah? Yeah. It's a funny thing is like by just being so committed to it, anything outside of it now. You feel it? Yes. I really didn't have a reference for that before. Yeah. You know? Because I'm like meeting a lot of, you know, pretty much the same people.

Wheelhouse of shit every day. I have four eggs, blueberries, a little while later protein shake, lunch. I had lunch today, 10 ounces of chicken, greens, and I have little things like peanut butter jelly pack as a bridge. So you just stain clean. Yep. And then dinner I'll have 16 to 20 ounces of lean protein, like sea bass, salmon. Sometimes I'll have leaner red meats, greens, fruit.

You got someone organizing this for you or you're just doing it yourself? I saw it. It was funny. I did it because I'm shooting my show next month and I was like three months out and I was like, fuck, if I don't like dial it in right now, I'm going to show up. Yeah. And I'm going to show up and I'm going to be like, I wish I just don't want to have regret. Like I didn't try. Right. Right. Right. And I was like, I know I'm not going to look like a Marvel guy in three months, but I know I can clean it up in three months. Yeah. And like, I mean, you just don't want to look at yourself on TV and go, fuck. Fuck.

Yeah, you fucking loser piece of shit. That's the worst. So I've gone down, you know, I'm down to like 204, body fat's down, and I have about another month. So I'm just sticking to it. But the funny thing is, like, the other night I got home and the boys were like, they got, what's it called, like the shaved ice machine. And they've been making those.

you know, during the day and they're kids and like, you gotta have one, you gotta, I go, you know, okay, I'll try it. I'll try it. So they shave the ice in the machine and they pour flavors into it and I take, you know, a few spoons full, it's very sweet. Right. Dude,

Within an hour, I'm like, ugh, like doubled over, running to the toilet. Yep. And I'm like, oh, yeah, because I can isolate it now. Before, when I was eating like a trash can, like I would just go like, oh, I don't know what it was. Right. Maybe it was the bread. Also, you get used to feeling like shit. Yeah, you do. That's what Duncan's, you know, Duncan had diabetes. Yeah. He got type 2 diabetes from, I think it's from vaping.

Sugar, for sure, but also vaping. And the reason why I say this is one of the things he found out, he was getting his blood sugar checked, and it was spiking. And he's like, I don't even understand. I'm not drinking any soda. I'm not eating any sugar. And then he realized that it spikes after he vapes. Wow.

Wow. Because he was monitoring it. And then he realized, oh my God, there's a reason why this stuff is sweet. There's fucking sugar in the vapes. That makes sense. I've tried them and you're like, yeah, this is really sweet. It's watermelon. How else are you going to get a watermelon flavor? How else are you going to get a peach flavored vape unless you have some sugar in there? Yeah. How are you getting fucking apple flavored vapes?

Yeah, of course. There's sugar in there. There's sugar. And so the sugar was spiking his blood pressure. That's insane. Or his blood sugar, rather. Did he get himself out of it? Yeah, he got off of it and got on the Zins. Wow.

And you know, it's just you don't realize that you're poisoning yourself until you stop poisoning yourself Yeah, and you eat really healthy and he was like dude. I don't need naps anymore. I have energy all day I might just help me so much dude like this eating plan. I got it from a nutritionist in LA Dr. Google yeah, and Like I told him a couple weeks into it. I was like if I don't lose a pound I

I'm already gonna thank you for my digestion changing. Like I used to, you know, fucking, I got so used to just explosive shits all the time. Like, you know, like Christina was like, are you gonna ever see a doctor? I hear this violence coming out of the bathroom and

And I'm like, yeah, I got to go check it out. And then I had a colonoscopy a couple of years ago and they were like, no, you're good. And I'm like, yeah, but I mean, I have diarrhea 14 times a week. Is that normal? And they're like, I don't know, man. So this switching to like the way I just described my eating now, dude, I have totally normal gut health. Yeah. That's how it's supposed to be. Yeah. It took me 45 years to figure it out. Well, that's one of the things that's very interesting about Robert F. Kennedy Jr.,

being connected to Trump in this election. Really? Yeah, because if Trump winds up winning...

They're going to expose our food systems. Robert Kennedy, one of the things that he really wants to do is he wants to expose a bunch of problems we have in our food system. One is glyphosate. Glyphosate, which is used, it's an herbicide. It's used all over the fucking place. It's in a lot of food. Most people they test, there's some incredibly high number of people test positive for glyphosate in their blood. Really? Yeah. Because you're getting it from organic vegetables even. Like some vegetables. Yeah.

I shouldn't say organic, but you're getting it from like there's some stuff that they just spray it on. No matter like I think the most glyphosate, I think it might be corn. So what things contain the most glyphosate? Let's let's Google that. I think it's corn, rice and different things.

You know different vegetables and for fascinating how if you go to Western Europe you realize that they don't use any glyphosate But like our food would be like illegal illegal grocery stores our fruit loops are illegal in Canada Are they really yeah because we use dye there's all these red dyes and shit in our fruit loops They don't they have the same fruit loops and can't they like no no you can't put that stuff in there So we they have to sell different fruit loops to Canada than they do to America. Oh

Some of the most common foods with glyphosate. Non-organic cereals and grains harvested with glyphosate. These include wheat, barley, buckwheat, millet, rice, oats, wild rice, popcorn, and sorghum. Wild rice. So you think wild rice. Oh, I'm getting wild rice. It must be healthy. Yeah.

Or popcorn seeds. But a lot of people think that part of the thing that's going on with people, they say they're gluten intolerant, that what's actually, it's not gluten that's fucking with them, it's glyphosate. Really? Yeah. And this is just one of those- One of those American things. Like huge conglomerates that's spraying down. Yep, Monsanto. Yeah. That's cool. So that's Roundup. And so there's that, and then there's seed oils. Fucking terrible for you. And they're in everything. And they're in everything because they're cheap.

And it used to be industrial lubricant, and they figured out a way to make it somehow or another turn into food. It's so fucking sad that we have...

Like, also that most people, myself included, I'm not even talking about other, like, you just don't have the knowledge of the, like, you'd have to. Right. You have to inquire and really be curious about this. And you got to dig for a long time. And if you talk to your doctors, a lot of times doctors don't know jack shit. Most doctors spend a shockingly small amount of time in medical school studying nutrition. Yeah. Most doctors, they'll tell you, you just need a healthy diet. I'm like, look at you, doc. Look at you. Look at you, doc. You know, I had a fucking neighbor that was.

260 pound cardiologist. Isn't that crazy? Like I'm not exaggerating. He's seven feet tall. He wasn't. He's shorter than me. Oh God. That's so big. You tell people like, hey man, your heart's. That's so crazy. It's so crazy. He was wildly overweight. Some people just can't control themselves. They just don't. They don't have a history of controlling themselves. And so they just don't. They just eat.

I mean, bro, I remember Ralphie Mae. We, one time, we all left the comedy store and we went to a bar. It was Stan Hope, me, and a couple other comics, and Ralphie, I think it was Joey, and Ralphie was going to meet us there. There was this bar that Stan Hope used to like in Hollywood. Back in the day, before Hollywood was a zombie movie. And so, Ralphie

Doesn't show up. We're waiting for him. Like, where the fuck is Ralphie? We're waiting for everybody outside. We're going to all go in together and get a table. Yeah. And we're sitting outside and no Ralphie for a long ass time. And then all of a sudden, like an hour later, Ralphie shows up and Ralphie's back seat was just filled with rappers.

So this poor guy was so addicted that he couldn't get in his car and drive from the comedy store to this bar, which was like two miles away. He had to stop at a Jack in the Box. And tear it up. And this was at a time where he got his stomach stapled, so he couldn't eat any meat. So he wasn't eating meat, so he's eating jalapeno poppers from Jack in the Box. Just stacks of them.

Yeah, he was really sick. He was sick. He ate through his stomach stapling twice. I gotta piss real bad. Oh, let's piss. Okay, let's piss. Let's pee. Let's pee together. And we're back. Great pee. It's just such a game changer. When you have to pee and you can't concentrate, it's so hard to talk. I was just like, your eye starts to flutter. Yeah. It makes me think about those debates. Like, what if someone has to pee in the debate?

You've got to dial your water in just right. I have a pre-show pee routine. Do you? Yeah, because I would say my fixation is I kind of have to – during the day, I'm drinking water and a couple of coffees. And it's like if we're on the road, we go work out. I'm going to increase the water intake, like start drinking more. And then you get ready, head over to the venue.

And it's like, okay, I get there. The show's going to be in 45 minutes. It's like I pee. But then I keep going like, oh, here's a water. I'm going to pour a Diet Coke. I'm going to take on stage in a cup of water. And then it's like, all right, start the show. I introduce, you know, opener. And then I'm like, all right, I'm going to go pee and I'll be back. And I do that. And then it's like, hey, he's got five minutes left. And I always go, do I have to pee again? Like this is like a real – Yeah. It's like you go to a spa and they're like –

You're gonna get a massage and like you have to pee and I go do I I think so Yeah, I want yeah, I think there's four drops left. I'd like to get them out get them out the worst if you have to shit Oh Jesus if you think you're gonna go on stage for an hour and you have to take a shit. Oh my god Yeah, how much time is he have left? He has three minutes left. Oh, I can't shit in three minutes I can't shit in three I know that is but your body who does this thing where it'll shut the shit thing down. Hmm Unless it's like a real fucking emergency right, but you're rather than on stage. Oh

Have I ever had that I have to fucking, I puked on the side of the stage. Really? Yeah, that was, fuck, those are. Were you sick? Yeah, and that was horrible. Literally in a can in the wings. Oh my God. Jesus. And like that was rough. Did you go back on stage? Yep. Did they know you threw up? Nope, until I told them. Wow. No, but the pee one.

Like, I hate when you go, all right, yeah, I'm just going to go out there. What am I, a fucking toddler? Just go fucking do your shit. And it's like five minutes in. I'm like, I have to pee right now. You know, you just carry that. Oh, no. Your body will like put it out of your mind. But there's like this discomfort you have the whole time where you're standing there. I'm like, I'm going to be out here for a fucking hour. I did it once where I ran off stage and I, you know, the mothership, the way I got to go all the way up. I had to go all the way upstairs and just.

so hard and then went back yeah no no no I didn't it was like I finished my set oh when you finished yeah but like halfway through my set I was like god damn it I had to pee but someone was in the bathroom like right before I went and I was like fuck no it's I mean I've also I've peed on the side of the stage before like in a panic yeah Jesus I know on the ground no like in a trash can laughing

And in a cup. I've done that too. How many times has Ari peed right there? He pisses in fucking kombucha bottles. God. Everything. No. Fucking disgusting. He's gross. He wants you to know he's peeing in the room. Yeah. To show you his nuts. Come on, man. I'm surprised I haven't seen him cum. I've seen him pee so many times. I know. We're getting close to October. We going to do something this year? Dude, I'm shooting the whole month here. Oh. But I'll be here. Yeah. Okay. I'll be here. You going to go sober?

Sure. I mean, I'm going to be, like, shooting five days a week, I'm sure. Do you think we can get Bert to go sober for a month again? Because last year he was excited to not do it. I don't want to speak for him, but no. Maybe he could use it, though, right? I don't know. Wouldn't be the worst thing in the world for him. No, it's never the worst thing for any of us to take a month off. It's good. I mean, yeah, I always feel like, I mean...

It's what kind of challenge is it for each person, you know? Well, it's easy for me. I haven't had a drink since I had a couple glasses. I had a margarita and like a mule drink.

Saturday night. So that was it. That was the last time I had a drink. Yeah, I had a few drinks Saturday night in Vegas. Yeah. We were doing them. I was at dinner with the missus. But I haven't had anything to drink since then, which is normal. I can go a week, two weeks. Like, it's not, you know, it's not that big a deal. That's what I'm saying. So like. But for Bird, it's a big ass deal.

Yeah, it tests his will. Will for sure. Will to live. Cleans him up. I think he also kind of gets off on the challenge of it. Yeah. Because so many people are like, you're going to struggle online. Well, Bert's another one that has that delusional, I can't lose. He is. I remember, what was the one that I was like, what are you doing? When he was like, I can do the splits. I can't. I can't.

I think I could. I was like, you're going to fucking tear your hamstrings. When he told me he could, I really believed for a second he could. I was like, really? Wow. Yeah. I know because it also is one of those things that Burt could see. You know what I mean? It wouldn't be out of the realm of possibilities. Right. Oh, you have this secret skill you can also do this? Right, like when he played tennis. Yeah. He thought he could serve like a fucking pro. Jesus. I know. He has all these weird-

Like hidden skills. Yeah. Yeah. I really believe that he could do the splits. Yeah. But he couldn't even come close. It wasn't even in the neighborhood where you did a split once in your life and you got to get it back. You know, like maybe. Yeah. Maybe you did it when you were in high school and you can kind of get back there. Yeah. Do you still do them all the time? All the time. Okay. I stretch out constantly. Okay.

Okay. Especially lately because I've been dealing with like some real stiff back problems because when I shoot a lot of archery, I get real stiff in my right side of my lower back and my neck because my bow is 80 pounds to pull back. So I'm pulling back 80 pounds like 150 times a day. Yeah. So it tightens up. Everything's tight. So it really helps the stretching. Massage helps a lot, but man, stretching helps so much. I started stretching. I have like

it's not that unusual, but kind of chronically tight hamstrings, you know, that I'm like, fuck. And the, I, the massage definitely helps, but spending a little time every day working on hamstring stretches has definitely helped me. It's fucking gigantic. Everyone should stretch. And especially for anyone that has like stiffness in their lower back and,

A lot of that stuff, like you'd be amazed at how stretching your hamstrings alleviates a lot of stress on your lower back. Yeah, it's all tied there. A lot of times that lower back tightness, you just follow the line. It's like your glutes into your hamstrings, and your hamstrings are super tight. They're pulling down, and it'll relieve your lower back pains. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, I do a lot of hamstring exercises too, though. I do a lot of Nordic curls. I do those. Those are the shit, man. Once I started getting into those, you know, the knee or toes guy stuff. Like Nordic curls? Is that like laying flat? Yeah, you lay flat and you pull yourself up with your hamstrings. It's fucking hard. Really? Yeah, it's hard.

Yeah. I do that for sets of six, like six reps, pulling yourself up. The first time I did it, I couldn't do one. I was like, this is crazy. Really? Yeah. Cause I was like, I have strong fucking legs. Like how can I not do this? This is nuts. I couldn't believe I couldn't do it. I was shocked. So I really started concentrating on it. Now I do sets of six, but I think I could probably do nine.

If I guessed, I think I could do it. It's that challenging, though. It's fucking hard, dude. It's fucking hard. I don't think I've ever tried it. Just try it. Okay. We'll do it out here. I have one right out in the middle of the lobby. Really? Yeah. I have one in the... I have an extra one if you need one. Oh. Okay, cool. Thanks, man. Yeah. I have a bunch of them. I've gotten... There's the Tib Bar guy made me a cool one.

And there's a few other ones. What's this other guy, Mr. Infinity? He made one that's really good. There's a lot of ones that are adjustable. They do a bunch of different things as well as just do the Nordic curls. Like some of them you can do reverse hypers on and a bunch of other lower back exercises. But it's a great one for stabilizing your knee. Really good exercise for – because there's nothing else like it that's like you're pulling your whole – like that's it right there. That's what it looks like when you're doing it.

Yeah, that looks... That's a Sorenix one. Challenging. It's fucking hard, man. Yeah, it looks like it. But the one that's really... The reason why I really like the Tib Bar guy one and the Mr. Infinity one is that...

You can change the angle of it. So instead of starting flat, like the Rogue one that we have outside, you start completely flat. And in the beginning, I had to help myself. What I would do is I'd put two fingers down and give myself a little push with the fingers and then complete the reps with my hamstring and then try to lower myself as much as I could and then catch it. But now I've got to the point where I just go all the way down slow and all the way up.

No problem. That's cool. And I could do it. But it took a while to build it up, and I was kind of surprised because I thought it was going to be one of those things like a pistol squat. It looks hard, but I have strong legs. I can do that. You can do that, yeah. But I was like, this is fucking impossible. Wow. Yeah, I'd love to. But you think about that kind of a pull, that's it right there. Who is this one? Tib Bar. Tib Bar, guys. This one's a really good one, man. So you could use it to do back extensions. You could use it to do reverse hypers.

Really top-notch stuff. And the angle change is huge because you start it off, give yourself a little bit of an angle so you're already like halfway through the rep and it's much easier. And then lower it a little bit and then eventually you get to flat over time. I'd like to try it. Especially for rehabbing that bad knee, the injured knee. It's really good. I do leg curls too with those – you ever use those –

Monkey Feet things. Yeah, I have a Monkey Feet. That thing's fucking great. And then they have a new one, the Monkey Feet Pro. I haven't seen that. But they have the plates already built into it. And so you can slide a pin out, you know, like those dumbbells that do that. Yeah, sure. Yeah. So it's built in and it's flat at the bottom instead of like having a dumbbell that you have to attach to it. That sounds cool. Yeah, that's the new one, the Monkey Feet Pro. That's fucking huge. But all those different things to stabilize all those muscles and to do knee raises and

Fucking phenomenal stuff, man. Yeah, that seems awesome. So if we do Sober October, do you think we should have some sort of a challenge this year? I can't. I just won't have any time. Right. I just will be way too busy. Are you going to work out at all? Yeah, so I already talked to my... I go, look, I've been preparing for this thing by training...

six days a week and alternating. Today was a steady state cardio day, so I did an endurance ride for 60 minutes, a bike ride. And then tomorrow morning, I'll get up and lift. So you're organized. I'm organized. I like structure. So I'll follow my plan, but I'm able to do right now hour-long

Hour lifting, hour cardio sessions. Sometimes I can do two a day if the schedule allows. Do two in a day. But I was like, look, I know when we're in production. You won't have the time. No. So I'm just – my trainer and I have been figuring out like, all right, what about like – because I've had days where I go, I don't have an hour.

Right? But you can still, like, get something good going in 30 minutes. Sure. And I'm like, look, all I got to do, I just don't want to get into working on production and just go into zero. Because I'll feel like shit, too. Right. So figuring out, like, okay...

I think it has to be AM for me. This whole idea that I'm going to shoot all day and then at the end of the day you're prepping for the next day and I'm going to go work out now at like 930. It's just not going to happen. So we're going to try to organize workouts that are more condensed that I'll be able to keep doing through production. This is six weeks, six, seven weeks of production. And what is the show? So this is the show that I don't think I've ever –

shown you, but like two years ago, I had a break on my tour and I had this kind of distorted sense of income because you're on tour, you know, and you're like, I love features, but trying to pull a feature together is a huge undertaking. Right. But if you want to shoot like a short film, it's a lot easier to manage.

So I go, you know, I had all these things that I've written, you know, five to 10 page short stories. And I hit up my friend Rami and I was like, hey, we'd work together. And so he's the one that directed my my music video. Steven Seagal. So I go, you know, I got a break on tour. I'm willing to write a check to like to make a short film. Can I stop you right there? Yeah.

Did Bert ever have a real hard problem with you stabbing him to death? He was like, I don't know. That's just your humor. He was like, people asked me, and he said, I just told them that's Tom's humor, I guess. That's what he finds funny. Because I was like, if my friend did a video where he stabbed me to death, I might be like, how does he really feel about me? Like, what the fuck is going on? He just stabbed me to death on a video. But he is right in that I do...

I mean, if you see the series, you'll see that like, oh, this is a warm feeling to you. Like I just, you know, I did. Yeah. Yeah, it is. This is so ridiculous. And he's so big in that video with the face swap. Yeah, it was a great deep fake for that time, too. It's gotten so much better now. But anyway, I tell my friend, I go, I want to shoot a short film, you know, like during this break and like I'll pay for it. And I just want to shoot and put it out kind of like the music video.

And he was like looking at I was sending him scripts. He's like, I think we could actually if you can take this like 11 days, I think we could shoot three. I'm like, really? Like, that's going to be fucking crazy to shoot 11 days in a row on break when I should be like taking time down. But I go, OK, so we we sign up to shoot three. And again, the whole thing is like.

We'll just make these because I enjoy making them. You know what I mean? Right. So we shoot them. And then when we have them, we're like, oh, this kind of looks, this kind of is like a show now. It's like an old Twilight Zone where it's just like here's a short story. So then we went back to a white site, like a sound stage, and I shot an introduction to it, like I'm the host of a show. And then the idea was, you remember I built like –

During the pandemic, this pay-per-view kind of website, you know, where people could buy tickets to like live podcasts. I was like, oh, I know what I'll do. We'll cut this together. And then this will be the first like ticketed, like pay-per-view event that is a scripted

written show as opposed to like a live podcast, which I was really excited by. I was like, look, I don't even care. I don't need to make money. Even if this like helps me recoup a portion of what I spent to make this, I feel like that would be a win. It's just exciting to try something new like that. Right. So it's all cut together. You know, it's super high production quality and I show it to like agents and they were like, you gotta show this to people.

some of the streamers you know because i told them my plan i was like yeah my plan was just to do this and they go i think we can get you you can get a series out of this and we showed it to netflix and they were like yeah we'll do a series you can do six of these so now we spent time obviously in the writer's room writing six episodes worth of these and each one each episode was

We'll have like a theme and then short stories that are dark, like twisted, fucked up stories with a comedic twist to it, right? Mm-hmm.

Things that are comedic in nature, I would say, but dark. So I think it's like a, I say like the best way to describe it is it's kind of a comedic black mirror. Short stories that are twisted that have a comedic tone. So do you have the whole, first of all, you really like to be busy. I mean, I. Like more than anybody I know. I do feel, I think, better having a lot going on. Yeah. But you like to be overwhelmed. Yeah.

I don't think... I think there's a line. I've discovered in my life that there's a line and that I can... And you figure out the line by living. Well... That you get to a point. I'm Coming Everywhere was the line. That was too much. Right. Because that was... That was your tour. That was the last tour. And that was... We leave Monday and we do shows Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday. You know, like that. And that was week after week. And that was a lot. That was too much. This tour that I've been on this year is like...

This weekend, I'm in Eugene, Vancouver, and Denver. That's it. Thursday, Friday, Saturday. Yeah. I'm home that night. Right. The next week, Cleveland, Buffalo, Toronto. It's like three shows, three nights. Right. That's a much more manageable way to live. Yeah. But I had to figure it out. Production, too. Production, there's no way...

to deal, to work in production where I'm writing, producing, I'm directing some of them. There's no way to do that without being busy, but it's also a condensed amount of time. That's what I like about productions is that you... You only have a few weeks. You see your end date. You're like, we're done here, so we just have to make it happen. So, I mean, it'll be a very busy...

six weeks for me, but it also will be over. And when are you planning, when is that going to get out on Netflix? My thought is that it would probably be in the spring, I think. I think. So I'm sure that conversation will continue. That's exciting. But I'm so fucking stoked for it, dude. Like, we got a great group together to write it. I love that I get to work with Rami, I'm working with Jeremy Conner, and...

just a great crew and like we're casting here in the next couple weeks. The thing that, one of the things I'm honestly super proud of is that I got them to let me do the show in Austin. And we're going to have Austin production, Austin crew, we're casting Austin actors. So it's like a real Austin production. So that to me was like very fun. I was like, I don't want to go

move to Atlanta to do this I want to do it home there's got to be plenty of actors here oh for sure there's actors here and also that and we are doing Austin locations like we're just shooting all over the city but I think that's fucking cool that's pretty dope dude yeah that's exciting

It's a wild show. When you see this stuff, you're going to be like, you're fucked up, man. I can't wait. I'm excited. Yeah. So when do you start? Our first shoot day is October 7, I think. Wow. That's not long from now. Six weeks of chaos. Six weeks of chaos and then...

There's something about having a goal to like a thing that you're working towards. It just changes your mindset. Yeah. I think this has helped with like even like I was telling the focus of like nutrition and health and like, you know, the discipline of that bleeds into the discipline of the writing and like getting these meetings done. And like, you know, it all comes together. Yeah. Yeah.

When I was getting ready to do my live special, knowing that there was a date that this had to be done, and then it was only on one night. So it was like this super hyper focus of getting ready for something like that. And when I did it, I was like, after it was over, I was like, I want to do that again. Really? Yeah. At first I was like, I'm going to do this one time, and I'm never going to fucking do this again, because this is a ridiculous idea to be able to do something live to millions of people on Netflix. But you enjoyed the experience. I liked it.

But you like the heightened pressure. I like it. Yeah. Yeah. I like it. I like it a lot. Yeah. I like it too much. Well, that's kind of how I am about being busy with these. Have you ever thought about doing a live special? Never. Never thought about it. You should do it. You think so? Yep. I think everybody should do it. Yeah. Everybody's good. You do good shows. You do great sets for headlining sets. Just get it dialed in.

to where you know how that moves and let's fucking go and just bust that motherfucker out for the whole world and you don't have to do editing. That, I'll tell you, I fucking hate. It's the worst. You know the last one they called me and they go, so we're going to have to change your release date because you won't watch this. I was like, oh, yeah, fuck me. I always have that problem. I don't want to watch me. I know either. I don't want to. I fucking hated it. It's gross. Then I told them I wanted the show that they were like, no, not that. I go, yeah, no, I want this show. And they were like, what?

like what about the other show I don't want that show and then everyone was like you asked me to fucking watch it I watched it well that's gotta be you can't have anybody giving you advice I don't agree I think if a comic is gonna put out a special it should be that comic special and what that comic thinks should be on that special and that's it I don't want

I remember Robbie and Bill Burr were arguing in the parking lot of the comedy store, and Robbie was drunk. And Bill Burr was like, hey, I'm not going to fucking argue with you about what my fucking act is while you're drunk at the comedy store. And it was just like...

incredible moment. I'm like, yeah, that's how it's supposed to be. You're not supposed to have someone tell you what the fuck you're going to put in your act. Sure. Like, do you know how to do comedy? No, you don't do comedy, right? Shut the fuck up. You shut the fuck up. This is crazy. This is a crazy conversation. Yeah, it's, I mean...

But everybody wants to get in there. I know. That's the problem with, like, if you were doing your show. That's the problem with doing anything. Like, imagine if you did your mom's house and you had a bunch of people you were working for. That's a great analogy. I mean, yeah. Especially your mom's house live. Oh, my God. Well, yeah. That wouldn't work. Which...

I was at Fear Factor for six years and I fucking gagged so hard watching that show. I had to turn away three or four times. I've dry heaved a lot doing that. It's so gross. I know you're right. I mean, no one would let you do it, but yet it's hugely successful. It's totally true. I mean, notes wise, I'll say this, like, you know, cause I, I experienced this with the, with the book. I wrote a book, you know, a year ago or whatever is like,

The first time you get notes on anything, a script or anything, you're like, what the fuck is this? Right. And then when you do encounter notes of value, because there are notes that are... Sure. That you go like, that was a good note. You have to be able to balance...

Because what ends up happening, the way to really, I think, handle it is you listen to all of them, but you also have to be able to go, I hear what you're saying on this, and I totally disagree. It's hard to do when you're starting out. Right, it's impossible. You just can't. But once you kind of know yourself and what you're trying to do, you get to go like, oh yeah, that's a good, I know what you're going for there, I don't want to do that. And so I'm not. But your other note,

It was great. But could you imagine if, like, you decided that, like, doing your mom's house was too difficult, so you're going to bring in some Hollywood executives to help you? Oh, my God.

Some actual Hollywood producers that do like Keeping Up with the Kardashians or something. They're going to help you produce your mom's house. I mean, I had the fucking – that's so far-fetched. It's like it would be such a fucking shit show. It would be terrible. It would be terrible. But isn't it interesting that it's so popular? Yeah. But people, once it becomes popular, then they would want to get in on it. And here's how we can make it.

Better. Yeah, tighten it up. Yeah. Figure out a way to make it. Can you imagine somebody telling you how to run this thing? It'd be impossible. Yeah, yeah. I can't even take, I don't even, when someone asks me to put someone on, even if I would want to put that person on, now I don't want to put them on. Just because they asked you? Yeah, I don't,

I don't want to get into that. I only want to have people on the show that I want to have on the show, and that's it. That's the only way I've ever done it. That's the only way I want to do it. Somebody asked me just like a week ago, a guy stopped me and he was like, I have a question about podcasting. I go, what? He goes, how do you, what's the criteria for asking someone to be a guest?

And I go, what do you mean? He goes, like, what do you check off? And I go, somebody I want to talk to. Yeah. Like, that's the... That's it. He goes, is that it? I go, that's it. That's it. That's what I want to do. That's the beautiful thing about what we're doing and the beautiful thing about today. There's never been a time like that where something can reach fucking millions and millions of people. And it's just, I want to talk to that guy. Yeah. Like, this guy doesn't think the moon landing's real. Come on in. Come in here. Let's talk. You had that fucking hummus cannon guy on. That fucking...

That nutty dude. That dude. And the funny thing is we were exchanging videos of him before that. Remember we were like, look at this guy. Is that guy for real? Like what do you think is going on? He is for real. So that's really who he is? That's who he is. You sure there's not like a little bit of... He understands, he gets Will Blunderfeld. He gets that there's an angle with which people are seeing this through and he understands the humor in it, but it's based...

in for him an authentic point of view for sure so he's trying to get straight guys to do gay stuff he would say that's fucking gay or to not do that stuff this is the straightest thing you can do is fill another guy up with cum it's like one of his quotes yeah what's funny about that is that that used to be how warriors live that's what he talks about all the time he and he's pretty well versed in like

spartan history samurai and he'll know these like he's like here's the literature he'll show you like i think look the the real if you want to like break down what he's doing i think a big part of what he's doing is trying to uh trick guys into fucking him that's one big one of them the other one is you know shedding this um masculinity is only this like that's like the origin of it right that like right

Right.

He has to be. He totally is. Calls his dick a hummus cannon. It's great. I mean, yeah. And yeah, your wonderful starfish receptacle or something. Yeah, whatever he says. Yeah. Your dirt hole, whatever he calls it. Yeah. It's all types of...

Where you got to lick each other's nipples if you're a real man. But yeah, he knows what he's doing. I think he knows what he's doing. How many guys are sucking his dick because of those videos? A couple that have probably been like, am I straight now? I did what you said. I don't know, man. But that's the thing. If someone gets enough followers, there's going to be out of every 1,000 people, there's a guy that you can talk into being in a cult. My favorite is this guy right now, Fancy Chef.

where he's like, he's just, I haven't sent you fancy chef videos? No. He's just like in his kitchen and he's in a chef's outfit with the hat and then he's just, he'll put like strawberries in a glass. He's like beautiful and nice. Look at this shit I just made. You just put strawberries in a glass. But he keeps, he's like book me. Call me right now. Millionaires and billionaires only. And he does this whole pitch about how he's like a world-class chef and you just keep watching. You're like, am I getting trolled?

Or is this, what's going on here? Is this a delusional person or is this a subtle troll? That's exactly what you do. And then the more you watch, you're like, oh no, he's delusional for sure. But meanwhile, being delusional can get you pretty fucking far. It can, it can. So he is cooking food. What's the food on the left, right there? What is that? What has he got going on there? I can't hear it. Looks like chicken. I'm going to let that bake.

That's beautiful and nice. Beautiful and nice. That's going to give you the flavor of love. That's beautiful. Well, he just laid fucking time on top of it. I don't know that that's going to do anything. And he goes between this. There's a lot of wine glasses. Like, he's always putting something in a glass and then...

Look at the top comment. Day 238 of not knowing whether this channel is satire. Jamie, I'm going to send you a guy that I'm addicted to. I'm addicted to this dude. It's a BS dining experience. And all this dude does is deep fry food.

That's it? But it just does it with enthusiasm outdoors. Give me some volume. Go down and get the chicken, not the snake. The snake's disgusting. Go down and get some of that chicken. What's this? Give me that. What? Yeah, he baptizes it in the grease. Everything gets baptized. That's a lot of chicken, bro. Oh, yeah. He's cooking for, like, parties. Watch this. Watch this. Watch this. Watch this. Oh.

Can you imagine how good that is, dude? Oh, my God. I get so hungry. And watch when he puts it out. Watch when he pulls it out. Oh, my God. Come on. Come on. Look at that. Look at that. And he does this with everything. He does it with fish. Like, go back to his page.

to his actual page so you can see all the different... Yeah. So he's got all kinds of shit. Like, look, he's doing crabs and fish. Look at this. It's all deep fried. Terrible for you. Yeah. Looks amazing. Can I tell you, I think... Look, he's got waffles and everything. If you were like, what's the decadent thing you kind of want to indulge in where I'm like, when it's done well...

I don't know that anything makes me happier than fried chicken. Fried chicken at Roscoe's with waffles, with butter and syrup, and you get a little piece of the chicken, a little piece of the waffle. Sensational. Fried chicken where the crisp is done perfectly. And the chicken isn't dry. It's juicy.

That's why that guy's stuff looks so good. Oh, my God. Juicy. Like a juicy fried chicken. Oh. Yeah. I don't know there's anything more satisfying. I got Colonel Sanders the other day. Yeah? Not the other day. About seven months ago. I was just driving. I was hungry. Like...

Chicken is probably pretty safe. Let me pull and get some fried chicken. It just tasted like poison. Yeah, yeah. I was like, what's in this? What kind of oil are you guys using? When was the last time you cleaned the oil? At KFC? A random KFC in the middle of nowhere. So I've had some KFC that's really good. There used to be a KFC in Woodland Hills. Every now and then I wanted to cheat. I'd go in there and get some KFC.

chicken. Let's go. Fried chicken is good. It's so good. Yeah. So good with hot sauce on it. Oh, baby. But this one was terrible. Do you have an unnatural tolerance for hot sauce, don't you? Yes. Is this genetic? I think it is because my daughter has it. I have one daughter that- You haven't trained up to it or you have kind of? I think I've trained up to it too. Yeah. But one daughter is like- One daughter just can take anything. She's fine. Yeah. She loves it.

She's like really hot stuff. Like I brought her some of that Senor Lechuga. I have a partnership with Senor Lechuga. We make some crazy hot sauce. There's like Reapers in it. Yeah. It's potent. She's just no problem. So that is kind of. It has to be genetic. Yeah, because I've been with you and I've been like, what are you talking about? And you're like, that's fine. I'm like, that's not fine. No one else is fine. Yeah. I'd fuck up that hot wing show.

I can get down. I think you would. I can get down. Yeah. He's the best. I love Sean Evans. He's great. I just don't want to answer questions while I'm eating hot sauce. It just doesn't make any sense. But I can get down with some ferocious shit. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I've seen it. I'm like, this can't just be like natural. No. I mean, like it's natural, but I'm saying that's not everybody. No. I think there's some genetic and then there's some buildup to it.

But I like it. I like kick, but I don't like that. I like woof. Really? I like woof. And you don't feel like it. I start sweating. My daughter makes fun of me because I'm literally pouring down my face. She's like, what the fuck is wrong with you? Look at your head. I start sweating. But I start sweating way lower. My clothes are wet. Like everything.

I love it on eggs. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I put Senor Lechuga on my eggs this morning. I had eggs with elk sausage for breakfast. Babe, you want some elk sausage? I got some. Yes. Ooh, I'll hook you up. Really? Yeah, yeah. I'm going to leave you. I'll give you a bunch. Okay. I got a commercial freezer back there. Okay. I'll definitely take some. Oh, elk sausage is so good, man. And it's just like frozen? Mm-hmm. Is it? Yep, frozen. And I got this jalapeno cheddar. What's the best way to prepare that elk sausage?

I like it on a skillet. I do it on a Traeger, too. I do it on the pellet grill. That's good, too. You get it to a certain temperature. I like that, too. I do it real slow. I do it like 225 degrees and get it up to like 134 internal and then pull it. As long as you don't overcook it because they do add a little bit of pork fat when they make it for me because I get it prepared at a butcher shop. But

You do you're dealing with a much leaner meat. It's you know, you can dry it out Yeah, you can dry it out, you know, there's a fine line you want it like right where medium rare I do I love using my my pellet grill. Oh pellet grills are great. That's great Yeah, and they're so easy then I got a newest Traeger I had the old one, but the newest one is so much better. It's incredible Really? Yeah, it's just it makes everything smokier. The effect is better that the flavors better. I

It's easier to use. It's got two different probes for temperature. It alerts you on your app. Yeah, the app is great. You can lower and raise the temperature on the app. I know. I went out. Yeah. You know what I mean? I left the house with the boys. Yeah.

Check the app. Yeah, you see the temperature of the food. You can see the temperature of the grill. And you can say, you know what? It's getting a little close. Let me drop that bitch down to 180. Yeah. And bang. It's incredible. Yeah. Incredible technology. Well, it's just so easy to use. I still like an offset smoker too, though. I have a real offset smoker that I got. That is better. The thing about the real offset smoker, it's much more of a pain in the ass, but-

There's certain sugars that you get from the wood, the wood itself, like a real piece of mesquite, a real piece of post oak. And you set a little fire underneath there with little sticks and you get it built up. And then you dial it in with the dampers. It's like a thing. It's like a lot of work. Yeah. But the flavor is even more intense. I get so seduced by these videos of people doing things. And I found this.

I forget what company it is, makes this Argentine grill. I got one of those too. Grillworks. Where they wheel it over the fire. You need one of those. I want one of those. Grillworks. Go to Grillworks.

I want one of those. This dude, Grillworks Ben, he hooked me up, and I had one installed at my house. But it's the same thing. Cranking up. That is great for steaks. Yeah. Just like watching that video, I was like. Oh, yeah. Because it's the same thing. You're just using hardwood. So you just got hardwood cooking. You get those flames rising up. Look at this.

There's a place. Oh, this is the thing that I'm looking up. Yeah, exactly. Well, that's the place in Vegas. This is it. Bizarre Meats, Jose Andres' place. That's what they use. I want one of these. I'll get you. I'll hook you up. Really? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I'll have that guy make you one. Fuck yes, dude. You'll love it. They're the shit. They're the shit. For a steak, that's nothing better. It's incredible. And they have a bunch of different ones.

They can either do a custom build or they can just have one like that that's already made. They roll it into your backyard. Yeah. Fucking incredible. That's so cool. And if you dial it in right, if you use meat probes and you slowly cook it and then sear it at the end. Nothing better. It has that flavor. Like that place, Bizarre Meats in Vegas. Shout out to Jose, man. Shout out to Jose. Jose Andres is the shit. Bro, how crazy was what happened to him in Israel? With his World Central Kitchen folks? Yeah.

It looks like they targeted them. It's horrible, man. Didn't they kill like six people? A bunch of people died. Yeah, who were just trying to feed refugees. It fucking sucks. How crazy is that? It sucks. And those guys are just, they go, people don't know, World Central Kitchen just goes anywhere there's a disaster. Yeah. Like hurricane, tornadoes, you know, earthquakes, war zones. The invasion of Ukraine. Yeah. They were setting up outside the border. And they're just like, people need to eat. They're not like...

politically siding with anyone. Nope. They're just feeding people. They're not even publicizing it. He's just doing it and then people write stories about the fact that he's doing it. It's incredible. He's genuine. He's like, there's genuine people that are really filled with like real philanthropy, like really want to help people. Yeah. And that's that guy. Yeah. And his food is insane. Oh my God.

That Bizarre Meats in Vegas is like so underrated. He has one in D.C. It starts with a J. I forget. It's so fucking good. All Spanish. I think he's got one in Chicago, too. Yeah, he's got a bunch. But there, yeah, he doesn't miss. That dude's food is amazing. He's the best. Tommy Bunz, you're the fucking man. Thanks for doing this, brother. Yeah, of course. Thanks for having me. So when your show comes out, come back and do it again. I would love to. Thank you so much. My pleasure. All right. All right.

Or what was the other one you said? Humidor's? Yeah, humidor's and high school baseball. Nope. Mostly shit I already look at. Phones. Cars. Halle Berry.
