Speaker: 0
04:43

Oh, that’s bad too. Yeah. You just gotta find things to do. For me, it’s always I’ve I work out and I play pool. So those are two things that occupy a lot of

Speaker: 1
04:51

my Yeah.

Speaker: 0
04:52

So that’s

Speaker: 1
04:53

good. I didn’t work out and I didn’t play pool. So I’m I’m like, I got I got this guy right and I’m like, Ai I’m speak. I have no stamina. I’m old. And, like, I need to reverse all this, you know, ai, so, like, you’re gonna start with me now, and I’m I’m really gonna show you nothing.

Speaker: 1
05:12

Like, Sai

Speaker: 0
05:13

Well, that’s good.

Speaker: 1
05:13

Yeah. That means you’re gonna be able

Speaker: 0
05:15

to see progress. Where I am here. But that’s good. Yeah. You’ll be able to see progress. Yeah. It’s all no matter where you’re at, if you’re thinking about working out, do it. Because it’s a good place to start. No matter where you’re at.

Speaker: 1
05:26

Yeah.

Speaker: 0
05:26

If you’re really fit, great. Good place to start. Yeah. Get even more fit.

Speaker: 2
05:30

For sure.

Speaker: 0
05:30

If you’re out of shape, great. Good place to start. Good place to start. Baby steps, don’t go too hard, don’t get hurt, build up slow.

Speaker: 1
05:38

Yeah. I got some blood work back, and I was like, oh, I need to change somebody’s numbers. And, like, also, I got, like, a it was ai an in-depth blood work, and, like, they, like, they told me all this extra stuff that I couldn’t have known. And one is I’m very susceptible to soft tissue injury.

Speaker: 0
05:55

Oh, you’re a bitch.

Speaker: 1
05:56

Yeah. I’m a bitch. That’s what I meant. It said bitch. I was translating it. It said bitch on the paper and then this is how I make myself feel better about

Speaker: 0
06:04

it. How ai they determine whether you’re soft tissue Whether you’re

Speaker: 1
06:06

a bitch or not?

Speaker: 0
06:07

That doesn’t even make any sense.

Speaker: 1
06:08

I don’t know. It just said I’m very susceptible to, like like, I guess, whatever it is, ligament, bruising, ligament, like that kind of stuff.

Speaker: 0
06:16

Well, that’s just from years of not lifting weights. That’s all that is.

Speaker: 1
06:19

You think that’s just changed my blood so that that’s yeah? A 100%. Well, I told the guy, and he’s like, ai. That’s good to know. And then, like like, my sixth session, I, like like, we would do in that thing where, like, I throw a medicine bowl down really hard and then, like, catch it and then swing it to him.

Speaker: 1
06:33

And, like, on the swing to him, I was ai,

Speaker: 0
06:36

Yeah. You gotta I would never have you do stuff like that to start out with. Yeah. To start out, you should do bodyweight stuff and you should do it ai moderately. Like when I had a bunch of guys in here, we were doing comedians workouts on on Tuesdays. And one of the things that we always did was you do ai do Tuesdays and Thursdays, but one of the things we always did in if if anybody is just starting out, I’m like, do not go to failure.

Speaker: 0
06:58

Do not push yourself. I don’t I want you to get out of here and feel fine.

Speaker: 1
07:02

Yeah. No. He did say that for to be fair. He’s not like killing me or anything. But we worked up to that, but that that one and then we just backed off of it. But he’s

Speaker: 0
07:09

The rotational stuff is difficult because, you know, you’re putting all especially if you’re not particularly coordinated and you’re throwing a lot of torque, you know, one way or the other way when you throw in a medicine ball, especially I

Speaker: 1
07:20

got tons of torque here. Torque. A lot I got so much torque. Right?

What would determine whether or not you’re more susceptible to soft tissue injury?

Speaker: 0
08:09

The only thing that makes sense is that you haven’t been working out, ai, unless there’s a biomarker. Yeah. Is there?

Speaker: 1
08:16

I think so. Yeah.

Speaker: 0
08:17

Let’s let’s try perplexity. I’ll sai. It’s our new sponsor. Let’s find out. Put that in perplexity. Find out what is, a biomarker that would indicate you’re more susceptible to soft tissue injury.

Speaker: 1
08:31

I have my results in a PDF somewhere. I could call or I can call my doctor.

Speaker: 0
08:34

Well, we will find out. We’ll find out quick. But it just to me, it the only thing that would make sense is that you haven’t been using that tissue. That’s the only thing that would make sense. And there’s probably things that they could show in terms of levels of ai creatinine, I think that’s how you sai it, and maybe some other stuff that would indicate here it goes.

Speaker: 0
08:55

What biomarker would indicate one susceptible to soft tissue injuries? Well supported biomarker that indicates susceptibility soft tissue injuries, genetic variant. Oh, and the elastin, ELM gene gene. Interesting. Which has been identified as a marker of ligament weakness and may signal increased risk of injury. Woah.

Speaker: 1
09:16

Yeah. There you go. Is that

Speaker: 0
09:17

so that’s what you have. I’m a variant.

Speaker: 1
09:19

I’m a I’m a, what do you call this? What do you call this x men? I’m a mutant.

Speaker: 0
09:23

So this is the word I was looking for. Classic serum protein markers ai creatine kinase, lactate what’s that word? Ai and myoglobin reflect muscle tissue breakdown and can indicate tissue vulnerability or prior damage, but their use in predicting susceptibility as opposed to recent as opposed to recent injury is less robust.

Speaker: 0
09:47

Recent research has also shown that profiling early healing stages through mass spectromic Speak Christ. Spectrometry can in identify multiple proteins whose baseline alterations may point to greater risk for delayed or poor recovery. So what does this guy got you doing? Like, what is, like, a typical workout for you?

Speaker: 1
10:11

He switches it up every single every single time. I meh, I Oh, that’s good. I’ve been doing I’ve been seeing him about four weeks, three times a week.

Speaker: 0
10:17

How’d you find him?

Speaker: 1
10:18

He actually lived in the building next to me. Oh. And I ran into him. This weird stuff has been happening like this lately. Like, I’m like, I really gotta get a trainer, and I was, like, walking in between the we had a little, like, thing in between the buildings, and he, like, he just was there talking to someone, and I he mentioned because I’m a physical trainer.

Speaker: 1
10:33

I’m like, I need someone. He’s like, I’ll walk over. We’ll do it. So I do it at 06:30 in the that’s the thing that’s a little harder too is, like, I the only time I could do it at 06:30 in the morning because I have, like, a, you know

Speaker: 0
10:43

That’s good, though. No. I know. Arya the right way. No. It is. You gotta win.

Speaker: 1
10:46

It is good. And I ai it’s been crazy, like, how much I feel like I’ve done now by, like, two 02:00 in the afternoon. Yeah. But when that alarm goes off at, like, sai, and I know he’s waiting downstairs, you know, but I’m just ai now it’s because now it’s winter, like, back home, I don’t know about here, but, like, it’s still completely pitch black outside, you know, like, sai just getting up in that darkness and be ai, my wife’s sleeping.

Speaker: 1
11:06

I’m putting on a fucking headband.

Speaker: 0
11:08

You’re wearing a headband.

Speaker: 1
11:11

Sai sweat.

Speaker: 2
11:11

It’s like a

Speaker: 0
11:12

tennis court. I wore a vatsal first, but

Speaker: 2
11:13

I was

Speaker: 1
11:13

like, I need to get no. I bought, like, I got, like, fancy. I bought, like, a Lululemon headband.

Speaker: 0
11:17

Oh, nice.

Speaker: 1
11:18

It’s not it’s ai I don’t know. Yeah. I I look I look the part. Okay. I look stretchy. I like dumbbell. Listen.

Speaker: 0
11:26

That’s it’s all the looking the part’s fun.

Speaker: 1
11:28

No. No. It’s all

Speaker: 0
11:29

part of just just fucking doing it.

Speaker: 1
11:31

That’s been good. It’s I felt immediate it’s immediately it changes my this is that release. It just feels great. The first workout Ai felt, like, right afterwards, I was like, this is amazing.

Speaker: 0
11:41

That’s great.

Speaker: 1
11:42

Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker: 2
11:43

Yeah.

Speaker: 0
11:43

As long as you don’t go too hard. That’s what I ai tell everybody. You can’t you’re not gonna be able to keep up. If you you try ai crazy pace right off the bat, you’re not gonna be able to keep up with it and you’re gonna you’re not gonna be able to recover. You’re gonna get broken down. You gotta build it slow.

Speaker: 1
11:57

I I used to take care of itself with, like, just sports and stuff. Ai, but I don’t I don’t do that anymore. You know? Like, I haven’t done that in front. Are you a good athlete outside of, like, whatever training you do? Like, are you sai sports? Like, do you play any sports?

Speaker: 0
12:09

I own the only sport I played, I played baseball when I was a kid. And then once I started doing martial arts, when I was in my early teens, I quit everything.

Speaker: 1
12:17

Wow. Yeah. And just focus on that.

Speaker: 0
12:20

Yeah. Ai, shit. Well, ram meh, it’s ai I hated team sports because I’m kind of, you know, stubborn and, like, I either struck out or hit a home run no matter what happened. They were they were always ai they were always like meh on base. I’d be like, right. Like, fucking, I’m going for the bleachers, bitch.

Speaker: 0
12:38

Ai either I was a hero or everybody was mad at me and that’s how I always played. I didn’t care. Like, I’ve I’m not gonna be a loser because Billy drops the ball in the in fucking left field.

Speaker: 1
12:47

Right.

Speaker: 0
12:48

I don’t care.

Speaker: 1
12:49

Yeah. Like

Speaker: 0
12:49

and so then when I found wrestling, I was like, okay, this is better. This is just me. And then Ai got into martial arts and I was like, okay, this Ai like. This is just like Sai can I either put in the work and get better or I don’t? I either win or I lose. There’s no

Speaker: 1
13:05

Right.

Speaker: 0
13:06

Weird gray area. The only gray area is decisions. Decisions sucked because there’s a lot of ai judges and, you know, if you’re Yeah. Like someone’s hometown and you Oh, yeah.

Speaker: 1
13:16

You’re your ass. Really? That blatant?

Speaker: 0
13:19

Oh, yeah. Don’t you remember Roy Jones Junior in the Olympics? I I don’t know. Roy Jones Junior in it is actually a beautiful moment that because Roy Jones Junior in the Olympics, he boxed beautifully. It was a perfect performance in the finals and he lost. There’s no way he lost, but it was in Korea and it was against the Korean national champion.

Speaker: 1
13:41

Okay.

Speaker: 0
13:41

And so the Korean national champion, he won the gold medal and then came to visit Roy Jones recently and gave him the gold medal and sai, you should have won that fight.

Speaker: 1
13:52

Like recently recently?

Speaker: 0
13:53

Yeah. Recently recently.

Speaker: 1
13:54

Yeah. Wow. But like never? Yeah. Wow.

Speaker: 0
13:58

But when I was a kid and I watched that, I was so disheartened. Because I’d seen that in Taekwondo a lot. Yeah. I’d I’d seen that in kickboxing a lot. And it’s just it’s embarrassing. It’s just when you sai, like, blatant obvious corruption and that, to me, that decision is one of the worst examples of blatant corruption because Roy Jones just ran away with that fight.

Speaker: 0
14:23

The only thing he didn’t do is knock that guy out, but he beat his ass.

Speaker: 1
14:27

They don’t feel repercussions when it’s that obvious?

Speaker: 0
14:31

It’s all subjective. It happens in the UFC. Yeah. I see. It happens in the UFC all the time. There’s bad decisions and and, you know, and it’s it’s infuriating. It’s infuriating to the athlete too because particularly in the UFC, there’s a win bonus. So imagine if you beat a ai, like, you really hit the gas in the second or third round, you fucking burn yourself out, you get the decision.

Speaker: 0
14:51

Like, I fucking did it. I did it. You’re you’re corner celebrating and we got it. We got the last two rounds, all you, all you. And then you hear the judges and you’re like, no fucking way. They robbed me.

Speaker: 2
15:01

Wow.

Speaker: 0
15:02

And it happens. It happens all the time. So so sai if you’re a young guy and you’re starting out in the UFC and you have a contract, maybe it’s like fifteen and fifteen. What that means is you get 15,000 to show and then 15,000 to win. So if you lose, you only get that 15,000.

Speaker: 0
15:16

So those judges just stole $15,000 from you. When you’re struggling just to feed yourself, ai, and if you’re getting $15,000 to fight, you have to pay for managers, you have to pay for your gym fees, you have to pay for nutrition, you have to pay for supplements, you know, you have to maybe you’re getting a massage once a week, you got to pay for that.

23:56

a It’s a good setup for being a comedian. Yeah. You know, that kind of like humility is just ai it humbles you. Yeah. It’s a good setup. Like, you gotta ai. Yeah. We’re not all created equal. Yeah. That’s a crock of shit.

Speaker: 1
24:11

I’m funnier than any of those kids. I’ll tell you that one.

Speaker: 0
24:13

There you go. Well, like the idea that everyone’s created equal physically is that’s a hilarious idea. You haven’t met any extreme athletes. There’s people out there that are just they’re different than all of us. Just just it’s not fair. That’s just how the universe works.

Speaker: 0
24:31

Some people’s great grandparents were fucking vikings. Like, like, like, for real vikings.

Speaker: 1
24:37

I’ve been I’ve been trying to, like, figure out what else to do. Like, I just I need some type of outlet because it’s ai Sai haven’t been doing Why

Speaker: 0
24:44

don’t you take up a sport?

Speaker: 1
24:45

Well, so I have so another thing that happened to meh, this was the weirdest thing ever. I was like it just popped into my head. I don’t know why. I was like, I think I wanna learn how to sail. What I think I might have meant prop maybe is, like, I I wanna learn how to drive a boat, but, like, I was like, I think I wanna learn how to sail.

Speaker: 1
24:59

And so I was telling this to my wife and then, like, just same thing as the ai, like, like, a few days it was, like, four days later, I was at music class with my daughter, and one of the dads was there with his daughter. And I was inviting him to go somewhere, like, a group activity, and he was ai, I’d love to, but I can’t. I teach sailing that day. Woah.

Speaker: 1
25:18

And I was like, are you serious? He’s like, yeah. I was like

Speaker: 0
25:19

And you were already thinking about it.

Speaker: 1
25:20

Four days ago, I said to meh wife, I wanna learn how to sail. He goes, let’s go.

Speaker: 0
25:23

Do you think that you have the ability to manifest things like that in your life? Do you ever wonder?

Speaker: 1
25:28

I don’t think. I I don’t I don’t think.

Speaker: 0
25:29

There are people that believe that. There are people that believe that the way your consciousness interacts with the universe Yeah. Is what makes things happen. Fucking ai go. Don’t happen exactly as randomly as we wanna believe that they do. But there are things that you do where you put energy out there

Speaker: 1
25:48

I’d like to believe it.

Speaker: 0
25:49

And you meh there’s a lot of examples of it. It’s a weird one to believe in because I feel like it’s an element to life. And the problem is people are always looking for it to be the element, like the thing. Mhmm.

Speaker: 2
26:01

Like, do

Speaker: 0
26:01

you remember that movie, The Secret?

Speaker: 1
26:03

Yeah.

Speaker: 0
26:03

So during that time, a lot of people unfortunately got convinced that they could wish their life into existence.

Speaker: 1
26:09

Yeah. They got like a board Yeah.

Speaker: 2
26:11

Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker: 0
26:11

Vision board and all that stuff. I think that is a part of things that that putting something into your head is a part of things. But I don’t Sai don’t think it’s the whole thing. Yeah. And I think if you think of it as the primary thing instead of thinking of it as the like the whole thing is all these different pieces.

Speaker: 0
26:30

Like if you wanna get healthy, you have to eat well, you have to take vitamins, you have to exercise, you have to sleep, you have to drink plenty of water, you have to cut out all the bad stuff Yeah. Like alcohol. Sai there’s a lot of elements. It’s not just workout. Yeah. Right? There’s a lot of elements. And I think that’s the thing with, like, manifesting stuff.

Speaker: 0
26:48

I don’t think it’s entirely bullshit. I think there’s something to it.

Speaker: 1
26:52

I mean, look, you you start, you know, you start lining all your ducks in a row. Eventually, you know, something’s gonna be cohesive. But but the thing of it, like, me running into a guy ai

Speaker: 0
27:02

That’s what I’m saying.

Speaker: 1
27:03

Yeah. That that’s like Yeah. What’s that? I mean, I’m not

Speaker: 0
27:06

saying. The sailing and the fitness trainer. Yeah. Yeah. Like, right when you’re putting it out there, Ai there’s a lot of people that believe this. That that believe that what we think of as physical reality just being static and locked down, it’s not really the case. And that there’s a strange dance between consciousness and physical reality that we’re not totally aware of. Yeah.

Speaker: 0
27:28

And that we don’t really have the senses to, like, be able to measure it, to to to somehow or another quantify it and put on a scale, like, what percentage of how your life goes depends on how you what ai of energy you put out there.

Speaker: 1
27:43

Energy is big. Energy is big.

Speaker: 0
27:45

That’s why I’m always very particular about who I hang out with. Mhmm. Because people think it’s no big deal to hang out with idiots, but the problem is

Speaker: 2
27:52

Thanks.

Speaker: 0
27:52

You’re absorbing their energy.

Speaker: 1
27:54

Yeah, man.

Speaker: 0
27:54

And instead of hanging out with really cool people and you absorb their energy and everybody, like, gets out of there feeling fucking great.

Speaker: 1
28:00

Yeah.

Speaker: 0
28:00

What a good time. What a good time.

Speaker: 1
28:02

They just suck the energy.

Speaker: 0
28:03

They suck it and they make it about them and they get negative and they’re fucking passive aggressive and weird or whatever it is. It’s like, I don’t wanna deal with him anymore, man.

Speaker: 1
28:12

Yeah. You eventually shed those people. You should.

Speaker: 0
28:14

You should because they are energy. Yeah. It’s like you you can and Ai think how you feel personally, ai how your life is going has a giant effect on how your life can go because you’re thinking in a positive way. Mhmm. You know, like you’re you’re you’re in the right groove. You’re in the right vibration.

Speaker: 1
28:34

Yeah.

Speaker: 0
28:34

If you wanna get real hippie, you wanna get all crystally. But there there’s something to it. It’s not everything. It’s not the whole thing. I don’t think it should be dismissed because I think there’s a reality to it. Because I just there’s too many times too many ai. Like, how many times have you ever run into a fucking trainer?

Speaker: 0
28:51

And the ai telling you you’re

Speaker: 1
28:52

you’re a trainer. None.

Speaker: 0
28:52

Speaker: 0
29:59

I did. Yeah. Yeah. I visited them on the boat. Yeah. It was fun. I didn’t visit them in The Bahamas. I visited them when they had it out here. Oh, they had it in America. But, it was, interesting because, like, to to be able to do that, that’s a crazy sai. They had to weather some storms.

Speaker: 0
30:14

Like, they had to get docked up during a storm. My stepdad had to go out to someone else’s boat because it wasn’t tied down, and it had ai this dude’s boat down in the middle of a fucking storm.

Speaker: 2
30:40

Yeah. It

Speaker: 0
30:40

was a crazy choice.

Speaker: 1
30:41

Not even to just learn because it’s ai I’m gonna live on this sailboat. I’m gonna go live in a tropical I’m gonna live I’m gonna learn how to sail. I think they

Speaker: 0
30:48

just you know, people don’t like work, man. Ai, a regular job, like, work sucks. And if you and and you get to a certain point in your life when your kids have left the house and you’re ai, this is life. This isn’t ai preparing for something. Yeah. This is life. Right. I’m not preparing for life right now. So I don’t wanna do this. Right. I don’t like doing this.

Speaker: 0
31:08

Let’s just do something else while we can.

Speaker: 1
31:10

Yeah. Because it was ai I mean, when you’re out on a boat, it’s that’s what it is.

Speaker: 0
31:14

Yeah. That’s what it is.

Speaker: 1
31:15

It has a way of really, ai, yeah, centering you. Yeah.

Speaker: 0
31:17

Ai, being in the mountains. Like, you’re, you know, being in nature. When you’re in nature, you go to the woods, like, okay. This is just this is the only thing that matters. Ai, this this existence.

Speaker: 1
31:26

I like that because I I didn’t grow up with that and that’s not common for me and it’s ai the one thing that really resonates with me as far as, like, shutting my brain off and things like that.

Speaker: 2
31:34

Oh,

Speaker: 0
31:34

yeah. The ocean. There’s not there’s a reason why all those rich folks live, like, right on the ocean. They’re not stupid. Yeah. I rented a house once in in Malibu.

31:54

And, you wake up and you sit in the patio and it’s this sliding glass doors and you’re literally above right above the ocean. So you see nothing but this little little balcony and then water. And you’re like, oh, I get it. Yeah. Ai I wonder why these people live right next to each other in a $20,000,000 house. Yeah.

Speaker: 1
32:15

Speaker: 0
32:16

was like, who the fuck wants to buy a house with no yard? You’re jammed up next to your neighbors. That’s stupid. And then I got there one morning drinking coffee, sitting there by myself, smoking a joint. I’m like, okay.

Speaker: 1
36:57

I I I did it on a on a on a trip in, the Cayman Ai. And, I always wanted to do it, so I was psyched to do it. And I did one time prior to that in a pool, so I was ai, alright. I kinda whatever. And I almost couldn’t go through with it because, like, the the, the initial descent, they have to put weights on you. Oh, boy.

Speaker: 1
37:15

And it just goes against everything your body feels.

Speaker: 0
37:19

Your body’s ai, no. No. No. No. No.

Speaker: 1
37:21

Yeah. And they say, like, you know, try to breathe measured. If you breathe a lot, you run out of air faster.

Speaker: 0
37:27

Oh, fun. Right?

Speaker: 1
37:28

So it’s like yeah. Just just hearing the fact, oh, you run out of air.

Speaker: 0
37:31

Is the tank the the meter based on how much air is in or how much ai? Like, how much you’ve been breathing? Like, could you fuck up and and breathe too much?

Speaker: 2
37:39

Yes.

Speaker: 0
37:40

And it wouldn’t say e yet?

Speaker: 1
37:41

No. No. No. I mean, I had to You will ai.

Speaker: 0
37:43

So it’ll show you Yeah.

Speaker: 1
37:45

And I was with someone. I was not you know? But still by the way, it doesn’t matter, by the way. So it’s like, I couldn’t get down. I’m claustrophobic, and so I think that played into it, but, like, you have to start it just you have to overcome the sensation that you’re maybe drowning or being suffocated.

Speaker: 1
38:03

Like, you know, you like, you go down and the weights start to pull you down, and you adjust to breathing through here, but then that’s it. Like and if you wanna, like, talk or it’s ai you don’t you don’t feel comfortable and you just want out, this you know, you can’t just get out.

Speaker: 1
38:18

And once you go down 30 feet or so, you have to, like, you know, you can’t just shoot up either. You have to go up, like, slowly, obviously. Right.

Speaker: 2
38:24

I mean,

Speaker: 1
38:25

it’s not almost 30 feet is the bends, but, like, you know, that whole thing. And so

Speaker: 0
38:29

ai this point 30 feet where you get the bends? Is

Speaker: 1
38:31

that what you did? I only went 30 feet. I think that’s, like, very simple stuff. But I still don’t think you’re a real shoot up.

Speaker: 0
38:36

Right. It’s yeah. You have deeper than that. Yeah. But, but it’s crazy. You get too much nitrogen in your blood and you’re fucked.

Speaker: 1
38:43

It’s fucked up. Right? That’s crazy. And I got a

Speaker: 0
38:46

That’s their world, bro. That’s not your world. That’s their world.

Speaker: 1
38:49

Well, it was 30 feet down. It was still ai my world. That’s far.

Speaker: 2
38:52

Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker: 1
38:52

That’s far. Yeah. But if you’re

Speaker: 2
38:54

out of breath

Speaker: 1
38:54

I can still see our world. You know what I mean?

Speaker: 0
38:56

If you’re out of breath and you gotta get to that 30 feet and you’re you’re exhausted and out of breath, that’s fucking terrifying.

Speaker: 1
39:01

Yeah. Well, it was me and my friend, and that’s it. It was an instructor. No one else showed up. It was his birthday. I was taking him for his birthday. Right? So they, like, tell you some things. They’re like, alright. I’m gonna go down there with you and, like, ai you signals and stuff.

Speaker: 1
39:13

You know, like, if I do this or if I do, you know, whatever the signals were. And I’m like, alright. I’m trying to, like, remember these goddamn signals especially, like, if I need to communicate something.

Speaker: 0
39:21

Meh. There should be a test.

Speaker: 1
39:22

Yeah. There wasn’t. So we go down. I finally overcome it, and I get down there. And, like, once I got down there and calm down, I had moments where I was a little panicky again. But, like, in the moments where I was calm, I was like, alright. I’m going slow. I’m breathing slow. This is cool. And you just kinda start exploring.

Speaker: 1
39:40

And there were these big, like, I guess Oscars. Big these big fish, like, the sai like, literally the size of almost my body, like, five or six of them together just there. But they weren’t, like, you know, they couldn’t harm you, but, like, just the sheer size of them was, like, I’ll sai it ai them.

Speaker: 1
39:54

But then this instructor starts swimming forward, and then my friend is behind her, and I’m behind him. And at one point, like, Sai you know, I’m not good with the Paddles? No. The swoops the flippers? Flippers? Yeah. Is that flippers? Yeah. Ai, I I don’t know.

Speaker: 1
40:11

Some people are just goo with them, but, like, it’s kinda like it’s it’s weird. It’s unnatural an unnatural feeling. So I’m not goo with them, and I got this fucking tank on meh. And, you know, everything’s tight, you know, and it’s like and I’m trying to use the flippers, and I’m not really catching, ai, I’m kinda falling behind a little bit.

Speaker: 1
40:26

I’m not really doing it great. And then I start to try to do it faster, but then that, like, spins me a little bit. So now I’m spinning down there, and I’m trying to kick out of it. And I, like, wanna communicate to the instructor, and she’s in front of my ai swimming forward. And my friend’s I’m looking at his ass.

Speaker: 1
40:42

I’m like, I’m just like fucking, like I’m just, like, waving my hands.

Speaker: 0
40:45

Like, that seems Sai need help. Ai.

Speaker: 1
40:47

Yeah. Like, she I don’t think she should’ve led like that. And when shah was I would say she was probably 20 feet ahead of me swing vote. And so ai at that one point, I was like, this is not like, this is this is crazy. She doesn’t I can’t get help if I need help right now.

Speaker: 0
41:02

You’re panicking?

Speaker: 1
41:03

I I did. I panicked. I started breathing heavy.

Speaker: 2
41:05

Of course.

Speaker: 1
41:05

And I had to, like, literally just, control, you know, bring myself back down.

Speaker: 0
41:09

Let me ask you this. So they don’t give you any, like, ai to make sure that you’re good at scuba diving?

Speaker: 1
41:17

Yeah. We we went in the water first. Right.

Speaker: 2
41:19

And,

Speaker: 1
41:19

like, in the shallow arya.

Speaker: 2
41:21

And, like,

Speaker: 1
41:21

we did, like, some exercises and drills or whatever, and they explained the signs Uh-huh. Did you what’s gonna happen? Did you tell her you’re claustrophobic? I don’t I don’t think I did.

Speaker: 0
41:31

When you say you’re claustrophobic, like, are you self diagnosed or did you go to Self. A mental hospital? Self. You went crazy.

Speaker: 1
41:37

But but if I How

Speaker: 0
41:38

did you where do you where do you

Speaker: 1
41:39

get that from? It, like, where do where do where do I think Yeah. Why do you think I have it?

Speaker: 0
41:44

Phobic. What makes you

Speaker: 1
41:45

because I’ve been in scenarios in confined small spaces where I couldn’t get out or I didn’t have a lot of mobility and I literally had a panic, like, we would have a panic attack.

Speaker: 2
41:53

Like, I

Speaker: 1
41:53

stopped my heart starts beating out my chest. I feel like I can’t breathe.

Speaker: 0
41:55

So it’s ai a an anxiety of being confined to a small speak.

Speaker: 1
42:00

Yeah. Like, when I was, with the I did an MRI. Oh. That was ai That’s

Speaker: 0
42:06

very claustrophobic.

Speaker: 1
42:07

Ai beating out of my chest. And there was one time on a plane a long time. I don’t like to fly either. So that combined with, like, I was in a row, like, a really tight row, like, ram in. And I just I don’t know. I just it’s it’s happened a a few times in my life where or in the, like, the the the, like, the back row of, like, a a, like, a a van where, like, it was closed in.

Speaker: 1
42:27

Like, I couldn’t anywhere where I can’t get right out. And one ai, I was in a stretcher, and I, they, like, lock you like, they strap you in. That I can’t take that.

Speaker: 0
42:37

I can’t take it. What happened? You didn’t

Speaker: 1
42:38

know you’re stretched? I was in a car accident. Yep. I was fine. I was okay.

Speaker: 0
42:42

But they just precautionary, put you in a stretcher?

Speaker: 1
42:45

I was I was to tell you the truth, I saw I was I was driving and a guy ran a red a stop sign and, like, plowed fast and plowed into me. I was a teenager, and my best friend was driving behind meh. So he watched it happen. So he called right away, but I I guess I kinda Sai don’t remember. I got hit, and then I remember, my girlfriend at the time crying.

Speaker: 1
43:06

And I I remember talking to her, but I have no vision. I just hear the words. And I remember, like, I was hugging her, and I could feel her tears. And then the next thing I remember in my mind was that I I was in a stretcher on the floor, and I woke up and, like, the ambulance was there and everything was that.

Speaker: 1
43:23

So next thing I meh. But I’m telling this guy, I’m in this fucking thing, and he has me on the floor behind the ambulance, and I’m

Speaker: 0
43:30

right by the exhaust pipe. Oh my god.

Speaker: 1
43:32

I’m just laying on the and the thing’s, like, just right by the I’m, like, can somebody fucking move me from away from the exhaust pipe?

Speaker: 0
43:38

That’s hilarious.

Speaker: 1
43:39

But, I couldn’t when I’m when I’m held down like that and confined and I can’t move, it’s ai, I don’t know. I just feel like I can’t breathe. Right. Ai I start to freak out. My mom has it. Sai I don’t know if it’s ai I don’t know if it’s

Speaker: 0
43:50

I just wonder what the difference between that and general anxiety is. Because if you have general anxiety, I would imagine you would get

Speaker: 1
43:57

So maybe that’s what ai is. Well, I’m just telling you what I feel Right. In ai spaces.

Speaker: 0
44:01

Oh, the reason why I’m asking is because I think we have, excuse me, I think we have genetic memory of bad stuff. I think that’s why some people are allergic or or or terrified of snakes. Some people are ai there’s a thing, a real thing, aphidiophobia or arachnophobia. Some people ai they go into a hot panic. It’s different than anything else.

Speaker: 2
44:21

Right.

Speaker: 0
44:21

And I think there’s something like in the genes from, you know, millions of years of evolution where someone down the line died or almost died because of one of these fucking spiders or one of these snakes or you saw someone get killed by a snake and you see him and you fucking lock up.

Speaker: 1
44:39

How do you explain the phobia of clowns?

Speaker: 0
44:41

Well, assuming it’s

Speaker: 1
44:46

Somewhere along the line You can’t see their real face. Yeah. It’s scary. Yeah.

Speaker: 0
44:50

It’s scary to not be able to see someone’s real face. Yeah. Which was ai one of the most fucked up things we did to kids during the pandemic is make everybody wear masks. Because kids are in school and they’re not getting facial expressions.

Speaker: 1
45:01

Right. They’re

45:02

not getting them from teachers. They’re not getting them from their classmates. It’s weird. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That’s weird. That’s not good for human development.

Speaker: 2
45:08

Yeah.

Speaker: 1
45:08

That was the norm.

Speaker: 0
45:09

There’s something, especially as kids, we don’t like if we can’t figure your face out. I can’t see your whole face. You’re wearing paint, so I’m not getting the right signals. You got a rubber nose on. You got weird fucking crazy hair. I’m like, I don’t know if you’re cool or not cool.

Speaker: 1
45:24

Right.

Speaker: 0
45:24

Right? If you’re a regular guy and I could tell if you’re ai, I can tell like this guy’s got weird energy. Let’s get out of here. Yeah. But a clown’s like, hello boys and girls. You’re allowed to act like in this weird silly way.

Speaker: 1
45:36

Clown could be right on the line whether it’s demonic or

Speaker: 0
45:39

Full on demonic psychopath that you could hide as a clown and you could hide with that language, that clown language. Sai, boys and girls. Would you like to see a trick? Meanwhile, you’re thinking about cutting that kid up in your basement. Yeah. You know? And now those are real human beings. Yeah.

Speaker: 1
45:53

Yeah. Do you remember when clowns, like, for a minute were, like, in the news everywhere because it was, like, a trend that clowns were terrorizing towns? It was, like, five year like, maybe less than ten years ago. No. Oh ai god. So where I’m from in Staten Island, we had the Staten Island clown.

Speaker: 1
46:09

Oh, no. And this there was a clown just showing up in public spaces and events just watching people and then, like, recessing, like, back into the night, and it would make appearances. It started making the papers.

It’s pretty interesting. It’s it’s ai it it it follows other arya. His name’s ai mister he has a moniker that he goes ai, and the people thought that he was Banksy. And so, like, it spends the whole thing, like, following him, but it turns out he’s not. But it was it was a fun watch, but it was ai, it’s it’s just wild to me that after all this time, in the age we’re living in now, nothing has gotten like, everyone like, how many people know who he is?

Speaker: 1
49:23

Like, you know, how close to the vest is his identity?

Speaker: 0
51:35

Speaker: 1
51:36

It’s, it was somewhere in outside of London, and it it was unassuming because we walked through row houses, through an alley to get to their property. And, I think to the daughter of this I’m I feel bad that I I’m forgetting the name because they were gracious hosts and but I I did the daughter, I think, was a fan of ours or something and somehow got in touch and we got invited there.

Speaker: 1
52:01

It was a weird ai thing. So I I find myself at this place. I didn’t I didn’t know anyone, and I get there and, like, it was a weird collection of people there. Apparently, this guy host a brunch forever. He’s, like, known for it, and he has a lot of friends and a lot of celebrity friends. And so there was celebrities and stuff there at this brunch.

Speaker: 1
52:20

It was really cool. Walk in, there was all food trucks and stuff and meh into their house. And, at the time, Woody Harrelson was filming a movie in London, and it was crazy. It was a one it was a live movie in one shot. They they rehearsed for this movie for months and months and months and then a ai stream into theaters. And he acted ai, and the entire thing was one shot.

Speaker: 1
52:50

It was, like, ninety minutes long. Woah. Yeah. I don’t I can’t believe he didn’t get more press just from the nature of that.

Speaker: 0
52:56

That’s insane.

Speaker: 1
52:56

But, yeah. Sai he was out there for that. And so he was at this brunch, and I think, Owen Wilson, was at was also at this brunch.

Speaker: 0
53:08

How did I forget about this?

Speaker: 1
53:10

Did you do do you recall it now?

Speaker: 0
53:11

I’m kind of recalling hearing about it now. Yeah. It was kinda get any love.

Speaker: 1
53:17

No. But I I went and saw it, and it was on it was really fucking cool. So there’s I mean, there’s a lot of different people there. Ai Tyler, like, it’s just the the guys from Oasis. There was just sai collection of people there, and I found myself they they had a, like, a little like a escape not escape room. What do you call it?

Speaker: 1
53:35

Safe ram?

Speaker: 2
53:36

Mhmm.

Speaker: 1
53:36

And the safe room was just converted. It had a ping pong table ai. I went downstairs. I walk into the safe room, and Woody Harrelson and Owen Wilson are playing ping pong down there. And I just it was them two, a cat, and meh, and I just watched them play ping I don’t know them. But wait.

Speaker: 1
53:50

What what I’m getting this oh, so anyway, they had Banksy’s. Like, they had they had a they had a fucking, man, you know, I think I need to take a supplement for my I needed to get some Ginkgo below me and me. Who’s who’s the artist with, like Picasso. They had a Picasso. I’m like, who’s the guy who puts, like, an eye over here?

Speaker: 0
54:09

The guy with nowhere. No. That’s Van Gogh.

Speaker: 1
54:11

Meh. Sai had they had Banksy’s, like, just in the house, like, up ai that. Like, wow. That’s that’s probably I mean, I’m you know, that’s

Speaker: 0
54:18

A million dollars?

Speaker: 1
54:19

Yeah. Probably. Ai. At least. I don’t know. I don’t I don’t know how much they are, but I was like, oh, wow. That’s,

Speaker: 0
54:23

like, your

Speaker: 1
54:24

own personal Banksy?

Speaker: 0
54:25

I went over an agent’s house once in, Aspen, and this is, like, a long time ago. And, we’re there for they used to have the Aspen Comedy Festival. And I was over his house, and and I was like, oh, did his kid make this? There’s, like, this painting on the wall. And they’re like, no.

Speaker: 0
54:40

That’s, first shah blah blah blah. Yeah. I go, he paid for that? It looked like tissue. No. This is I’m just saying this to another agent. Yeah.

Speaker: 1
54:49

So it’s me and this other agent

Speaker: 0
54:50

shooting the shit over a couple of cocktails. We’re laughing. Yeah. But I’m like, for real? And he goes, yeah, that’s worth, like, $35,000.

Speaker: 1
54:56

Ai Yeah.

Speaker: 0
54:58

There’s no way that is it’s like ai kid did that.

Speaker: 1
55:01

It’s that’s

Speaker: 0
55:02

It was ai pieces of tissue paper glued with some paint splattered on it.

Speaker: 1
55:06

It’s not.

Speaker: 0
55:07

I was like, what is this? Do you know the origins of that stuff? They think it was a CIA sai.

Speaker: 1
55:14

For what?

Speaker: 0
55:15

Modern art like that.

Speaker: 1
55:16

Come on.

Speaker: 0
55:17

Yes. Yeah. There’s some evidence that points to the CIA

Speaker: 1
55:21

Like, when they just nail a banana to the wall or something?

Speaker: 0
55:23

Yeah. A little bit of that, but a little bit of, like, Jackson Pollock.

Speaker: 1
55:25

So yeah. Like, the splatter

Speaker: 2
55:27

I was

Speaker: 1
55:27

gonna bring up Pollock because Stern did that. Do you remember when we see when Howard did that? He he he was, like, I can I can make a Jackson Pollock, and you won’t know the difference? Uh-huh. And he did it on a show. Like, did he did it and he put it next to each other and nobody knew the difference.

Speaker: 0
55:39

Yeah. Yeah. So what they think is, we couldn’t compete during the Cold War with the classical artists of Russia. Like, there’s some incredible painters in Russia, at the time, and I’m sure there are now. But we didn’t have a a similar level. We didn’t have a Da Vinci over here. We didn’t we didn’t have someone who could do what they were doing.

Speaker: 0
56:01

And so the CIA came up with a plot to popularize nonsense art and make it, like, really huge and make all these investors wanna spend money buying, like, nonsense art. And apparently, there’s Ai never would have considered that until I paid attention to all the other shit they’ve done over the last, you know, x amount of decades.

Speaker: 0
56:24

And I was like, I think that’s true. Because it doesn’t make sense to me that that stuff would just emerge, and also it’d be worth millions of dollars. And someone wouldn’t figure out exactly what Howard Stern figured out Yeah. That I can make this on my own. Right. And you could just say it’s a Pollock.

Speaker: 0
56:37

It was a Jackson Pollock and no one would know. Ai, what are we talking about then? We’re talking about something that anybody can do. If you look at the Mona Lisa, you’re like, well, I can’t do that. Right. You know, you you look at, you know, there’s sai million paintings.

Speaker: 0
56:49

You look at it ai especially today. There’s something about the level that people are at today where they’re making like photograph realistic paintings.

Speaker: 1
56:55

Yeah.

Speaker: 0
56:56

Photo realistic paintings. Ai. Like that are above and beyond anything’s ever anyone anyone’s ever accomplished in the history of art. But because it looks so realistic, people don’t even seem to care. Modern art was a CIA weapon. Spy ai used unwitting arya such as Pollock and de Koonig in a cultural cold war. Ain’t that wild? So scroll up to the thing. This is from, the independent.

Speaker: 0
57:21

Oh, you have to support?

Speaker: 3
57:23

No. That’s there, I guess.

Speaker: 0
57:24

Okay. So the connections of Proble is a period in the nineteen fifties and nineteen sixties when the great majority of Americans disliked or even despised modern art. President Truman summed up summed up the popular view when he said, if that’s art, then I’m a hetentot. I don’t know what that means.

Speaker: 1
57:43

Hot and taut.

Speaker: 0
57:43

Hot and taut? What’s a hot and taut?

Speaker: 2
57:45

I don’t

Speaker: 1
57:45

know, but I’ll tell you right now, I’m starting to use that word.

Speaker: 0
57:48

A hot and taut. Jamie, Google that word. What’s what is that word?

Speaker: 1
57:52

Never heard this.

Speaker: 0
57:53

What’s a hot and taut? Something like candy.

Speaker: 1
57:55

Something like candy. Like, Micah Mike.

Speaker: 0
57:57

A hot and tot. T o t. What’s a hot and tot? Cool. Outdated and offensive term historically used by Europeans to refer to I don’t know how to say that word. K h o e k h o e, an indigenous group of nomadic pastoralists from South Africa. Jesus Christ.

Speaker: 1
58:21

Sai will talk about the

Speaker: 0
58:23

The president was using that. You wanna talk about the world being different? The president was using a slur. Oh my god. As for the arya themselves, many were ex communist and barely acceptable in the America of the Ai era, and certainly not the sort of people normally likely to receive US Government backing.

Speaker: 0
58:41

So why the CIA support them? Because in the propaganda war with Soviet Union, this new artistic movement could be held up as proof of the creativity, the intellectual freedom, and the cultural power of The US Russian art of of The US rather. Russian art strapped into the communist ideal ideological straight jacket could not compete. Hilarious.

Speaker: 0
59:01

So because their artists were better, we decided to come up with some nonsense art and make people think that was the shah, and they and it it worked. It worked.

Speaker: 1
59:12

But are we saying that they found those artists and propped them up?

Speaker: 0
59:15

No. The the artist artists were were No. The no. The arya already existed, but the CIA propped them up and pushed them out as being amazing. And they did it in an effective way. And look, if there arya all these, like, super duper rich people are involved or closely connected to the CIA, all they would have to do is have art exhibits at their house and tell everybody how amazing this guy is

Speaker: 1
59:38

Yeah.

Speaker: 0
59:38

And how mind blowing this piece is, and they’ll all agree. That’s how art works

Speaker: 1
59:42

in a general sense now anyway. It’s ai there are people at the top that dictate a lot of this stuff. You know what I mean?

Speaker: 0
59:48

That Well, for sure. But there’s also just saloni, you know. If someone’s really good, like, all they have to do have is an Instagram page if they’re really talented. Meh, yeah.

Speaker: 1
59:55

Yeah. But I’m saying the art world and the and, like, the art as a commodity and and that ai of stuff, like, you know, like, the bottom can fall out at any time of that just like anything else. It’s ai

Speaker: 0
01:00:04

I guess, but people always want art. But the thing is, like, what I’m getting at is nobody wanted that art.

Speaker: 2
01:00:08

Yeah.

Speaker: 0
01:00:09

And then ai of a sudden, it became worth because of the

Speaker: 2
01:00:13

CIA. Yeah.

Speaker: 0
01:00:13

That’s wild. They ai fuck the American people into believing that terrible art is really good.

Speaker: 1
01:00:18

That’s wild.

Speaker: 2
01:00:19

Wild.

Speaker: 1
01:00:19

Yeah. No. I because I just read an article recently about, like, how, artist investment like, there’s been, like, a huge change where a lot of artists that were being pushed and were really hot by galleries and this and that, like, just years ago

Speaker: 2
01:00:33

Mhmm.

Speaker: 1
01:00:33

And selling at x amount, like, their their stuff’s not worth anything right now. Wow. Yeah. Wow.

Speaker: 0
01:00:39

I wonder why. But when the economy starts going, I would imagine that people stop buying art. Right? Like luxury items, shit you don’t need, art.

Speaker: 1
01:00:48

Yeah. It wasn’t Ai forget, but it wasn’t it wasn’t economy based. It was like it was like the the trend like, the, you know, the trend within that that world or whatever. It’s ai Sai it’s always weird to me how people put a price tag on that stuff.

Speaker: 0
01:01:02

I was in, excuse me, I was in Venice recently,

Speaker: 2
01:01:06

and we

Speaker: 0
01:01:06

Speaker: 0
01:01:43

Speaker: 3
01:01:51

That was the front page of the meh.

Speaker: 0
01:01:53

Oh, that’s the front page. Oh, that’s an exhibit that they have there. But it’s all there’s some modern stuff, but there’s a lot of, like like, priceless shit. Yeah. Just unbelievable collection.

You collect ai? No. Nothing. No.

Yeah. You know

Speaker: 0
01:03:19

That’s kinda powerful, dude.

Speaker: 0
01:04:18

It’s so powerful. Yeah. I love that painting. Greg’s a friend too and he’s a cool motherfucker. But that, that that to me represents there was a real human that looked exactly like that walking around two hundred years ago, had no idea what was gonna happen to this country in just a short amount of time.

Speaker: 0
01:04:39

Yeah. And this dude in, you know, 1810 is just out here lived his whole life out here like this.

Speaker: 1
01:04:46

Yeah, man.

Speaker: 0
01:04:46

01:04:57

that recently. Yeah.

Speaker: 0
01:04:58

So recent.

Speaker: 1
01:04:59

He’s he’s at the end of the hallway ai when I get up on purpose. I wanna walk I wanna walk towards him.

Speaker: 1
01:05:08

That’s ai that’s that’s serious. Ai got the stuff I’ve collected is a little bit more, like, vibrant, a little bit more, like, you know, not so photorealistic and stuff. Like, I was gonna tell you ai I thought you’d like this artist, Jordy Kerwick, as I have a piece of he’s I just I I found him on my own during the pandemic.

Speaker: 1
01:05:24

I bought a piece of his art, and I really loved it. And then, like

Speaker: 0
01:05:28

What does he do? What kind of

Speaker: 1
01:05:30

stuff? I mean, I guess, it’s kind of like well, his style has changed. I bought, like, a still piece that was, like, but now he’s moved to this really funky cool, like, lizard, like,

Speaker: 0
01:05:42

like Ai. So What is that?

Speaker: 1
01:05:45

That’s sai this is some cool shit. Right? Yeah. Oh. He’s awesome. He’s He

Speaker: 1
01:05:49

He’s from Australia. I believe he lives in France. He does sculptures. Yeah. He’s ai he blew up too. And he’s, like, he’s the nicest guy. So, like, a couple of years like, few years after I bought his piece, I saw him like something of mine on Ram, and I ai, like, oh, he because I I Zoomed with him before I bought it, I guess, just to talk about it there for a minute.

Speaker: 1
01:06:07

And I thought maybe he just felt, like, followed me and knew who I was because I bought his art, but he didn’t. He just knew me through comedy.

Speaker: 2
01:06:14

Oh.

Speaker: 1
01:06:14

And so I hit him up and I go, hey, man. I saw you like something of mine. Like, you know I bought something from you. Right? And he’s like, I have no idea. No. And I was like, yeah. We took we Ai. I I’ve he’s like, and he’s like, no. No.

He does weird shit too. Yeah. That was creepy. Yeah.

Speaker: 0
01:07:00

Yeah. Art is awesome, man. It’s like it’s got so few limitations. You could do whatever you want. You paint whatever you sana, sculpt whatever you sana, you know, and and you have that thing in your house and you get to stare at it and it gives you, like, a whole different sense of life.

Speaker: 0
01:07:13

Yeah. Like, somebody made that. Sai this popped out of someone’s imagination. You Ai cough button still is it still broken? Let’s try it. Seems like it’s working now.

Speaker: 1
01:07:26

You,

Speaker: 3
01:07:27

And the whole thing’s not out. It it acts a little weird.

01:07:38

But I don’t really know every day.

Speaker: 0
01:07:40

Yeah. Yeah. You have to.

Speaker: 1
01:07:42

Alright. So if

Speaker: 0
01:07:43

I I meh I ai, I shouldn’t say you have to every day, but you have to practice a lot. You have to be really accurate.

Speaker: 1
01:07:49

But ai back in the day when they vatsal with bow and arrow Mhmm. What skill level were those guys?

Speaker: 0
01:07:54

Oh, that’s a totally different kind of archery. Right. Sai that kind of archery is

Speaker: 1
01:07:58

How much of that was like letting it fly and how much it was like I’m a sniper. I’m gonna

Speaker: 0
01:08:02

ai Oh, no. They were good. Yeah. Guys are good. My friend Aaron Schneider, he’s such a good bow hunter that he decided he wants to hunt with a recurve, like a regular bow for a ai. Because ai he

Speaker: 1
01:08:12

What’s the difference?

Speaker: 0
01:08:14

It it’s way harder. Okay. Way harder to be accurate.

Speaker: 1
01:08:16

Like a Robin Hood bow?

Speaker: 0
01:08:18

Yeah. Robin Hood bow. Really? A regular bow. Yeah. He killed everything with it. He killed bears. He killed deer, elk, everything. But he’s like a professional hunter. He’s like a like a world class hunter, ex military ai, got into hunting. He’s a fucking beast. Yeah. And when bow hunting, which is one of the hardest things to do, becomes so easy. You wanna pick up a regular bow and go shoot that.

Speaker: 0
01:08:38

That shows you what type of human you’re talking about. But he can group, like, into, like, a a softball sized lump at 45 yards. He just fires them in with No. Yeah. He’s super accurate with that though.

Speaker: 0
01:08:50

But so if Ai tried once, I was on vacation and I’m like, I’m good with the bow and arrow. I know how to shoot a bow and

Speaker: 1
01:08:55

arrow. Yeah.

Speaker: 0
01:08:55

I do it all the time. I sai hit them in the ass, hit them in the neck. I was hitting them all over the place. But not a a human, not an animal rather. It’s foam target. Okay. We’re shooting recur and I was like, I’ll be able to do it. It was like a thing that you do. You shot speak. It was vatsal island resort. It sai pretty fun.

Speaker: 0
01:09:09

And then you shot skeet, and then you got to shoot these, recurves. And I was like, oh, I got this.

Yeah. Didn’t because it didn’t carry ai?

Speaker: 0
01:09:20

It carried over a little. I mean, I hit the target, but I I there’s there’s no way I was accurate. Accurate.

Speaker: 1
01:09:25

So if I gave chase if I ran from you and you had to meh like, if I get like, could you take me out if I’m, like, if I’m running around ai a moving target? Like, it

Speaker: 0
01:09:35

Well, it depends on how far away you are.

Speaker: 1
01:09:37

Okay.

Speaker: 0
01:09:38

You know, because So call it So the arrows go in 279 feet a second.

Speaker: 1
01:09:45

A saloni?

Speaker: 0
01:09:45

A second.

Speaker: 1
01:09:46

So what’s that in mouse?

Speaker: 0
01:09:47

I don’t know. But that’s what my when I look at my range finder.

Speaker: 1
01:09:50

I’m just doing quick meh, but I think that’s a billion miles an hour.

Speaker: 0
01:09:53

I have to enter in in my range finder. Ai enter in how fast the arrow is going. Yeah. I enter in how fast the arrow is going, how much the arrow weighs, and it gives me ai a very precise measurement of where my arrow is gonna be at the top of its flight. So when I range something, I use a range laser range finder. It’s called a full draw. Leupold makes it.

Speaker: 0
01:10:13

And, when I click on the button, it gives me the distance. So Ai say, like, 53 yards, but it also gives me the height of my arrow because it’s meh I’ve entered in the speed of my arrow and the weight of my arrow and the the feet per second it goes. So you’re going from home plate

Speaker: 1
01:10:29

to home plate to center field in a second and a half?

Speaker: 0
01:10:31

It’s so fast. It’s ai, you barely keep your eyes on it. See And then mine is not as fast as other guys. Like, I have a friend of mine, my friend Josh Jones. He just put together a bow that I think goes 340 feet a second. But he’s a big tyler guy. And when you’re a a taller person, you have a a longer draw length, and you’ll get more speed out of the bow.

Speaker: 1
01:10:54

I can’t wrap my head around

Speaker: 0
01:10:56

They’re so fast.

Speaker: 1
01:10:57

Speed of a bow.

Speaker: 0
01:10:58

Dude, like, very fast.

Speaker: 1
01:10:59

Like like I said, if you were at home, the way I’m thinking of it

Speaker: 2
01:11:01

200

Speaker: 3
01:11:02

is one thirty sai. Three forty is 232 miles per hour.

Speaker: 1
01:11:06

232 miles an hour?

Speaker: 0
01:11:08

That’s crazy. Big increase.

Speaker: 1
01:11:10

That’s insane.

Speaker: 0
01:11:11

It’s so fast, dude.

Speaker: 1
01:11:12

That’s the way I’m thinking of it. If you’re at home plate, I’m at center field and you shoot your your arrow at meh. I have a second dude, one second to move

Speaker: 0
01:11:19

out of the way. This arrow is going 231.82 miles an hour. That’s bananas.

Speaker: 1
01:11:25

And there’s people that karate chop those.

Speaker: 0
01:11:28

Not really. Not that. You ai of see a a regular

Speaker: 1
01:11:32

I wish.

Speaker: 0
01:11:32

Okay. You got a long bow which is probably the slowest. And then you have recurves. Recurves, I don’t know if the Mongolians invented them or if the Mongols invented them. But the Mongols had the strongest known bows. They had bows that take a 160 pounds to draw back. So much so that ai some of their skeletons were disfigured. Wow.

Speaker: 0
01:11:55

Because they had so much time pulling in one direction that their whole body was ai contorted in that shape.

Speaker: 1
01:12:02

Chiropractor would have cleaned up back then.

Speaker: 0
01:12:03

But those guys were Sai don’t think chiropractors were real. But but those but those guys were super accurate. But you’d have to do it every day. If you do it every day, it’s like it’s like a picture. Right? Like, if you ask me to throw a strike, who knows what’s gonna happen?

Speaker: 0
01:12:19

I might not even go near the plate. I don’t throw a ball very often. No.

Speaker: 1
01:12:22

Not since you started doing martial arts.

Speaker: 2
01:12:24

But

Speaker: 0
01:12:24

Ai mean, but the point is, like, even if you did, you’d have to do it over and over and over again to be able to throw a strike in a game against a real good batter. Right? Yeah. That’s what these guys are doing with bows and arrows.

Speaker: 1
01:12:33

Right.

Speaker: 0
01:12:34

They’re they’re getting to that point where the it’s just like throwing a ball. They know exactly how far it is, exactly where the arrow is gonna go at that distance. Science. They have a feel because they’re doing it every day. But you have to do that every day. The kind of archery I do, you don’t have to do it as much.

Speaker: 0
01:12:49

You probably should do it every day, but mine is like, I’m dialing this sai out to the exact yardage. I’m I’ve got like a fiber optic pin that’s sitting over the speak. Like, I know exactly where it’s gonna ai. It’s super high-tech. Yeah.

Speaker: 0
01:13:03

And then you know exactly where the arrow’s gonna be at every spot of the way if you shoot it straight?

Speaker: 1
01:13:09

How long because of all that, is it more about understanding it to be accurate? Or is there also still, like, you gotta be steady and I mean, obviously You

Speaker: 0
01:13:18

have to be you have to just do it so much that it becomes a part of you. It’s ai, you know, when when you were playing basketball, I’m sure there were times when you’re fucking around with your friends where you just hit a flow. You just hit a flow and you start ai on it.

Speaker: 1
01:13:32

Right around my thirteenth point. But you

Speaker: 2
01:13:34

know what I mean?

Speaker: 1
01:13:35

When you’re with your friends.

Speaker: 0
01:13:35

Not when Game nine. Your ass kicked by Dominicans. But when you’re just hanging out with your boys, every now and then you’ll catch a flow, right, where you feel it and you just shah the ball. What what everything else is, it’s like taking that and just doing it all day long until you can do it at any time you want.

Speaker: 1
01:13:54

Sure.

Speaker: 0
01:13:54

You’re always in that flow.

Speaker: 1
01:13:56

So how long did it take you to feel like, oh, I know what I’m doing or, oh, I I’ve I’ve a marked improvement right now.

Speaker: 0
01:14:01

It just takes it took years. Years. Years of practice.

Speaker: 1
01:14:05

That’s wild. Yeah. So years of just ai not hitting No.

Speaker: 0
01:14:08

You always hit the target but not consistently. So, you know, ai, I’d be in my backyard ai I used to have a 45 yard target and I was pretty good at 45 yards. Sai I could get most of them in the spot that I wanted to hit. Yeah. But every now and then, one would go left, one would go right.

Speaker: 0
01:14:23

Now, they’re all going in there. Now, 45 yards for me is like zip, zip, zip, zip. I’ll I’ll ruin arrows because I’m stacking them on top of each other. But if I go out to like 85 yards, then things spread out. Mhmm. Because then all of your movement is magnified. Ai.

Speaker: 0
01:14:38

So the key is it’s like any little variation, little twitch to the left and to the right over the course of 85 yards, it’s gonna vary six inches left or right maybe.

Speaker: 2
01:14:47

Right.

Speaker: 0
01:14:47

Whereas at 45, it would just be like a little bit, you know. And you think you’re still dead on. And it’s it just magnifies all the flaws in your technique. So it’s like a you lose yourself in it because while when you’re at full draw, and I’m not I’m not even talking about bow hunting.

Speaker: 0
01:15:02

I’m just talking about target archery. When you’re at full draw and you’re really trying to hit that target, you have no room for anything else. There’s no room in your your mind for your your bills or an argument you had with a business partner or fucking tickets you haven’t paid. None there’s no room.

Speaker: 0
01:15:19

Just everything goes away. It cleans the mind because it requires all of your focus. Yeah. That’s the best part of it. That’s the best part of it.

Speaker: 0
01:15:28

Everything after that, it just becomes ai everything else. It becomes like a vehicle for you to, like, express yourself. Whether it’s learning how to play guitar, or it’s shooting a bow, playing pool, playing basketball. It’s like you’re just finding a vehicle for you to express your spirit.

Speaker: 1
01:15:44

You ever let go of an arrow and, like, a bird, ai, give No. No. No. No.

Speaker: 2
01:15:48

That would

Speaker: 1
01:15:48

be crazy. It’s like Randy Jackson.

Speaker: 0
01:15:49

You ever seen Randy Jackson? That? That was nuts. The bird experience that sai Fucking that guy was a house. That guy threw heat.

Speaker: 1
01:15:56

He was ai seven foot one. He was so big. He was a gangly guy. Fucking bird exploded. Yeah.

Speaker: 0
01:16:03

It was perfect. It was like the universe threw us a ball. Right? Like the universe was like, wasn’t something fucked up.

Speaker: 1
01:16:10

Yeah. That’s ai.

Speaker: 0
01:16:10

Yeah. Like every now and then, the universe does that. Live TV.

Speaker: 1
01:16:14

You just continue. Yeah. There’s feathers on the floor. That is

Speaker: 0
01:16:17

a Well, that kid is a

Speaker: 1
01:16:18

loony tune. It’s like a loony tune cartoon.

Speaker: 0
01:16:21

Buzz video is nuts.

Speaker: 1
01:16:23

Boom. Oh my ai.

Speaker: 0
01:16:24

Yo, that video

Speaker: 1
01:16:25

is nuts. He’s integrated.

Speaker: 0
01:16:27

That video is nuts. And he’s a lefty too, son. Look at the slow mo. Shah bird made God, dude. What a mistake that bird made.

Speaker: 1
01:16:39

It’s just crazy that it didn’t just, like, kill the bird, but knocked every single feather loose. Yeah.

Speaker: 2
01:16:46

You could

Speaker: 0
01:16:46

just cook that thing.

Speaker: 1
01:16:47

Every single

Speaker: 0
01:16:48

feather. Put it right on the fire. It’s like It’s

Speaker: 1
01:16:51

pre It’s

Speaker: 0
01:16:51

like when you get

Speaker: 1
01:16:52

into like an accident, like ai shoes and socks come off, you know. It’s like every meh feather went

Speaker: 0
01:16:57

oh ai god.

Speaker: 1
01:16:58

Let me see when

Speaker: 0
01:16:59

There’s something about lefties too. Yeah. I think lefties learn things better than righties. I know a lot of lefties that ai, like, really good at shit. It seems like the lefties that are, like, really good, they’re, like, exceptionally good. Weird, like, oddly good. Yeah.

Speaker: 0
01:17:15

I think seeing everybody do everything opposite and forcing your brain to adapt to this world where you’re writing and you’re you’re smudging your paper all the time

Speaker: 2
01:17:26

because you’re

Speaker: 0
01:17:26

writing the wrong way.

Speaker: 1
01:17:27

Yeah.

Speaker: 0
01:17:27

It’s all weird. Right?

Speaker: 1
01:17:28

Yeah.

Speaker: 0
01:17:28

And then you’re seeing everybody’s doing everything with their right hand and you’re doing it with your left and you’re supposed everything seems wrong to you. Everything’s so by doing that, you have to, like, really think about your movements.

Speaker: 1
01:17:39

Sai Yeah. But the left hand, it comes out early. Right? It’s like inherent that movement is inherent. It’s not like they’re working on it.

Speaker: 0
01:17:45

Right.

Speaker: 1
01:17:45

So it’s like, I don’t know. Do they even do they have to think about those things or, like, is it just like come Oh, they definitely do.

Speaker: 0
01:17:51

Yeah. Because everything’s reversed. Yeah. Like, if someone tries to teach you something, they have to teach you the opposite way.

Speaker: 1
01:17:55

It is a right handed person’s Yeah. Game usually. Let’s say

Speaker: 0
01:17:57

if you’re a boxing coach and you only fight orthodox, you’ve only fought orthodox your whole ai. And then some kid comes in and he says, I’m left handed. And you have to ai, if you’re gonna teach this kid fucked up and teach him left hand first, which some people actually think is actually a benefit. Right.

Speaker: 0
01:18:13

In fact, some great boxers actually fought, like, Oscar De La Hoya fought dominant hand first. So there’s a few guys that have done that.

Speaker: 1
01:18:21

Okay.

Speaker: 0
01:18:21

Where they they will if the right handed guys will they’ll put their right hand in front. But for the most part, you would sana teach that kid how to fight as a southpaw, which would mean you have to reverse everything.

Speaker: 1
01:18:31

Right.

Speaker: 0
01:18:31

So if you don’t know how to do it, the right I mean, if like your technique is off and you’re showing some how to do something, like, you’re not really so the kids gotta, like, learn things from his stance and watch you and just duplicate it, like mirror it

Speaker: 2
01:18:47

Yeah.

Speaker: 0
01:18:47

From the other side. Yeah. And sometimes that just teaches you more about the movement itself because you think about it. Because what like, one of the things they say if you really wanna learn something, say if you’re ai in a martial arts skill, if you’re you have a dominant side, like, if you’re really good at throwing a kick with your right tyler, if you throw it and practice it and get it better with your left leg, your right leg will improve as well.

Speaker: 1
01:19:08

Oh, Oh, that’s interesting. I didn’t hear Yeah. I didn’t hear that. Makes Yeah. I feel like yeah. Because you’re kind of yeah. I I could see how that

Speaker: 0
01:19:17

It gives you a more comprehensive understanding of what you’re doing. And they say that about pool too. Like, I can’t really play with my left left hand. I can make, like, simple shots with my left hand. But there’s

Speaker: 1
01:19:29

guys that can just switch ai. The ambidextrous people are, like, probably aliens. Yeah. Just equal both on both side, like, equal they could do without an easy way ram the get.

Speaker: 0
01:19:41

In professional pool, there’s this kid named John Moore, elite, ai, top of the food chain pro pool player. Hurts his shoulder, can’t play right handed anymore, learns how to play left handed, and becomes world class left handed. Wow. Learned as a professional when he hurt his arm that he had to start playing left handed.

Speaker: 0
01:20:02

Started playing left handed and started winning, ai, like, world class events as a left. Yeah. Eating world class top of the food chain pool players who’ve been playing right handed their whole life. And he’s been playing lefty for ai two years.

Speaker: 1
01:20:15

Yeah.

Speaker: 0
01:20:15

It’s nuts.

Speaker: 1
01:20:16

I can’t write my name. I rubbed my arm once and

Speaker: 0
01:20:20

I had to write my name and I write everything with my left hand. It was fucking terrible.

Speaker: 1
01:20:24

Yeah. No. It’s like there’s nothing there.

Speaker: 0
01:20:26

And I draw, so I was trying to learn how to draw with my left hand. Yeah. But I think it now in retrospect, it might have helped me draw better with my right hand. I think if you could learn how to do something that’s why I think lefties are better at stuff because I think What do you draw?

Speaker: 0
01:20:40

Well, I used to wanna be a comic book illustrator when I was a kid. So I drew a lot lot of comic book stuff.

Speaker: 1
01:20:45

Oh, shit. Yeah. You do that still?

Speaker: 0
01:20:46

No. No. Not anymore.

Speaker: 1
01:20:48

You don’t miss it?

Speaker: 0
01:20:49

I mean, I can do it. I can pick it up, but I would have to get into it really to, like, achieve the skill that I used to have, and then I would I don’t have any time. Yeah. It’s fun. I love drawing, but Yeah. I don’t have any time.

Speaker: 0
01:20:59

I did ai school

Speaker: 1
01:21:00

always, like, blew my mind. They’d just be sitting there drawing, like, comic book, like, literal, like, that good.

Speaker: 0
01:21:04

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Speaker: 1
01:21:05

Yeah. Self taught or you just kinda

Speaker: 0
01:21:06

Yeah. Mostly self taught.

Speaker: 1
01:21:08

Sai, that’s also gotta be something that’s I mean, if you start from nothing and just, ai, I don’t know. I feel I feel like that’s inside you somewhere as well, ai, to be a naturally gifted just to know how to some people are just better at that than Well, I

Speaker: 0
01:21:19

had a very artistic family. My uncle Sal and my uncle Vinny were both artists.

Speaker: 1
01:21:24

Okay.

Speaker: 0
01:21:24

So my mom’s brothers both brothers were artists.

And ai t that was my teacher.

And And then I started playing. They were booing us and everything. Oh my god. And then at one point, a guy came to like, a guy came on stage, and he tried to grab my guitar from me, and I just I didn’t know what was going I mean, I was like a deer in the headlights out there.

Speaker: 1
01:29:16

Sai was, like, 14. And I just pushed him away, and he’s, like, trying to grab my crown. I’m pushing him away, and I’m singing through it. Right? I’m cursing also because I’m just, like, free free wheeling up there. And I knew they’re, like, they’re Mormons. They don’t really curse.

Speaker: 1
01:29:28

Speaker: 2
01:29:31

And then, and then this guy, he he keeps trying to get the the guitar from me. I’m ripping it from ram, and I’m ai, fuck the magic. And he’s trying to and I I wouldn’t let him have it. And I didn’t realize that was the official union stage manager trying to get me off the stage because there’s a curfew that they have to hit, and they have to do their full shah, and they have to do their finale.

Speaker: 1
01:30:14

And as soon as they go, you know, this past curfew on a union stage, the entire thing is, like, double time for every single worker there.

Speaker: 2
01:30:22

And

Speaker: 1
01:30:22

then there’s penalties. It’s hundreds.

Speaker: 2
01:30:25

It could

Speaker: 1
01:30:25

be, like, a $100,000 a plus. Yeah. Yes. And so no one tells me who this guy is, so I’m shoving the real union stage manager off of me ai I thought he was trying to just sabotage me.

Speaker: 2
01:30:36

Right.

Speaker: 1
01:30:36

And I thought I had to stay out there. So I push him away. I push him away. The guy’s like, give me the goddamn good time. I’m like, I’m not taking you know? And I found out afterwards that that was, like, official, and I was supposed to get off, and I didn’t. I caused them later because they could not do their encore. Their encore went into overtime. And the encore, that dude, he gets hooked up to his cables.

Speaker: 1
01:30:57

They lift him into the air, and they spin him in circles while he plays drums. It’s wild. And they said they they went into they went into the bonus, and they had to pay all these fees because of because of me.

They threw me as a goalie in the in the net of the New Jersey Ai, and all the devils came out and took slap shots off me. Me and my buddy, Q, it was two of us in net, and it was scarier than that. Like, they were taking blistering slap shah at us.

Speaker: 1
01:32:56

I was in full devil’s gear as a goalie, and I I remember there was, someone from, like, Sports Illustrated or something was there, and I have this I saved it ai a chain of his tweets that he was tweeting. And he’s like, I don’t know what’s going on here, but the devils are apparently taking shah at a civilian. He’s down on the ground. He’s very hurt.

Speaker: 1
01:33:14

This is not a good promotion. He’s like, I don’t think that the devil should be doing this type of promotion with fans. He didn’t know it was our show.

Speaker: 0
01:33:20

Oh, wow. And he’s he’s like Did you get hurt?

Speaker: 1
01:33:24

No. Not not not ai hurt hurt. It hurt, but I didn’t get hurt.

Speaker: 0
01:33:28

Okay. So but when you were down, he didn’t need to be concerned?

01:33:32

I got back up. But, like, it was ai it still was hitting me, like, in the neck and the Oh. Yeah. Like, you have the guard on and stuff.

Speaker: 0
01:33:38

Does it guard protect your neck?

You bryden?

Speaker: 0
01:34:14

Yeah. And you gotta play again next week.

Speaker: 1
01:34:17

My my first ever, my first ever tryout for ice hockey in high school was I we we it was hard to play hockey back then. Like, there wasn’t a lot ai, like it was expensive and there wasn’t a lot of rinks. We drove, like, two hours up to, like, like, Bear Mountain or some ram. Like, three hours with my family.

Speaker: 1
01:34:33

My dad, my stepmom, they had to wait in the stands because they can’t drop you off and go home because it’s you just drove three hours. So they’re watching these ai, and it was my first time I ever put ice skates on in my life. I had played roller hockey already, but I never put on ice skates in my life.

Speaker: 1
01:34:48

So it was kinda like you were saying, like, just trying to play, like, left handed or whatever. I was like, oh, maybe it’ll transfer, you know? Yeah. And I put on these ice skates and it didn’t. Ai was really bad. But, someone took a slap shah and it got deflected into the, onto the stands.

Speaker: 1
01:35:05

So whatever. I didn’t think anything of that. At the end of the tryouts, I went back, got my glove, got my bag, walked back out, and my my stepmom was out there with, her eye was this big. The ambulance was there. She bleeding black and blue stitches, everything. The speak hit her right in the face Oh my ai. During my tryouts. Yeah.

Speaker: 0
01:35:25

Speaker: 1
01:36:09

It was ai, a split second battle between whether I would, like, try to, ai, like, actually block it or just, like, wince and take it. Like, because it was, like, it was faster than, you know, I was prepared for, obviously. Like, it could

Speaker: 0
01:36:23

was real tall.

Speaker: 3
01:36:50

Sixteen years of professional hockey.

Speaker: 0
01:36:52

The problem is, like, the one on the left, you can’t really see very good. It’s he’s very shadowy. But you could tell he’s got scars everywhere. You know, those guys just took it in the face all the time.

Speaker: 3
01:37:04

I bet this sai that the first guy wore a mask in 1929. This guy.

Speaker: 0
01:37:09

01:37:17

He he had the mask. And before he got his nose busted, like Really? Well, like, he got his his nose actively busted. Right?

Speaker: 0
01:37:25

Speaker: 1
01:37:27

That’s what I’m saying. He’s like, let me put this thing on.

Speaker: 0
01:37:29

Or maybe he broke his nose with the mask on. I mean, if you take a full one to the nose Yeah. It’s not like it’s gonna smash against your nose. It’s gonna smash.

Speaker: 3
01:37:38

One of them had it had the blood going through there right there. The blood is going through the nose.

you know, some people, they don’t like people in roller skates. Like, some when I lived in California, motorcycles were allowed to split the lanes, you know, and Oh, really? Yeah. Yeah. Which is crazy. It’s really dangerous. But if you have a motorcycle, you can get by in traffic when everybody else is fucked. You’re zipping right through.

Speaker: 0
01:40:33

And I remember one time I watched this guy see this dude coming up beside us, and I moved to the left to give this guy a little room so he could pass, and the dude in front of me moved into the lane on purpose to stop this guy from passing him for no reason at all. Yeah. And that’s gonna happen with that too.

Speaker: 1
01:40:54

Yeah. Yeah. No. I don’t I don’t recall really. It was good for my curfew because I used to go to my my girlfriend’s house. My dad was like, you have to be home by, like, eleven. And it was, like, probably, like, couple of miles.

Speaker: 0
01:41:54

getting a nice little workout. Yeah. Nice little workout. Yeah.

Speaker: 1
01:41:56

I gave all that up. Yeah. I remember when I got out, like, into the workforce, I was out of college. One of my buddies was like, you wanna go shoot the puck around today? I’m like, I haven’t done it in, like, five or six years. He’s like, let’s go. And we went and we went to, like, a little, roller rink that like, a hockey rink there. We we skated around for about Ai must have been twenty minutes.

Speaker: 1
01:42:13

You know that burn that you get in your throat, like, the tracheas off is when you haven’t, like ai you don’t because you haven’t, like, you’re you’re consistently working out. But, like, when you’re not in shape and then you try to place a sports vatsal and and it just feels like your insides are on ai.

Speaker: 1
01:42:41

Ai of, like, if just, like, maybe, like, five years removed. Wow.

Speaker: 0
01:42:44

Yeah. Yeah. Just five years of not working out at all and then you try to skate, I would imagine. Yeah. Your body unfortunately, your body will just fall into a state of disrepair. Yeah.

Speaker: 1
01:42:55

I’m digging out of that now.

Speaker: 0
01:42:57

Ai it a little. It’s like if you have a house, if you own a home, one of the things you find out as soon as you get your first home is shit breaks all the time. There was always some fucking pipe that breaks, this that goes out, there’s that that fucks up, the AC is bryden, There’s always something.

Speaker: 0
01:43:12

You’re always that’s the same shit with your body. It’s the same shit.

Speaker: 2
01:43:16

And if

Speaker: 0
01:43:17

you put it into a state of disrepair and you don’t fix the AC, you don’t fucking My pipes are bad. The pipes are bad. You don’t deal with it. You just let your house flood. Ai, that’s the problem. The problem is when most of us, you know, are ai bad landlords.

Speaker: 1
01:43:31

Yeah. That’s me, man. We’re like ai

Speaker: 2
01:43:33

like to go on with it.

Speaker: 0
01:43:33

We’re like to go on with it.

Speaker: 1
01:43:34

We’re like to go on

Speaker: 0
01:43:35

with it. For our body.

Speaker: 1
01:43:36

Yeah. Ai trying to change it.

Speaker: 0
01:43:38

No. You are changing it. Don’t say trying.

Speaker: 2
01:43:40

Yeah.

Speaker: 0
01:43:40

Trying makes it seem like you might quit. You’re not gonna quit.

Speaker: 1
01:43:42

That’s right.

Speaker: 0
01:43:43

There you go.

Speaker: 1
01:43:43

He told me when because I’m gonna be here and I’ll I’m away from home the next week. He’s like, you gotta go at least three times and send me pictures of yourself.

Speaker: 0
01:43:50

We can work out here.

Speaker: 1
01:43:52

Ai. I got

Speaker: 0
01:43:52

a gym right here. Yeah? Yeah. We we work it after the show.

Speaker: 1
01:43:55

I wouldn’t wanna bring you down, bro.

Speaker: 0
01:43:56

No. We just have a little workout. Yeah. Just a little something. Yeah. Yeah. If you wanna keep doing it. Yeah. If you wanna keep it up while you’re here, the the main thing about working out is momentum. It’s number one. More than anything else, it’s momentum. And if you lose your momentum, then it’s hard. Hard to get going.

Speaker: 0
01:44:11

But once you get going, you get a couple of workouts in a row, you’re like, oh, this is it. I do it. This is what I do. Fuck it. We’re doing it again. Just don’t kill yourself. Don’t get yourself to when you wake up, you’re like, oh, fuck.

Speaker: 1
01:44:23

Yeah.

Speaker: 0
01:44:24

Oh, and you’re so sore and that you you’re gonna go to the gym right now? That’s kinda stupid. Yeah. You really shouldn’t.

Speaker: 2
01:44:30

You

Speaker: 0
01:44:30

should never don’t you’re not a pro athlete. Don’t get yourself to that spot. But as long as you just keep doing it, that’s the key. It’s just I think that’s with almost everything in life. That’s what alcoholics say. It’s, you know, one day, at a time. They just next day, next sai, get some momentum. Now Ai not drinking for two years. Now I’m not drinking for five years. I got all these coins and shit.

01:45:53

Speaker: 1
01:48:11

I I started to tell you a story about an experience I had, I think, with a ghost because I never I didn’t believe in ghosts. And I I guess I started to tell and didn’t finish it. Can I tell you the amount of people ai can’t do? It’s like, what the fuck, man?

Speaker: 0
01:48:25

You can’t start. You can’t just start it from the end, though. I know. You’re gonna have to start. Anyway, so Vatsal the beginning of the story.

Speaker: 1
01:48:31

Just tell

Speaker: 0
01:48:31

the beginning of the story. Retell the beginning of the story. Because ai, people are gonna go, what the fuck is he talking about? Then they’ll have to go back and listen to the

Speaker: 1
01:48:37

whole podcast. So many people, though, that I finally I was like, I I swear to god, if I go back on, I will bring it up, and I’ll try to retell the

Speaker: 0
01:48:44

Let’s retell the story.

Speaker: 1
01:48:45

Ai I just I’m doing this for them. I just I don’t know if this is how great the story is. I so we would talk I was saying ai. Just I don’t believe in them, but I had this experience. I don’t know what to make of it.

Speaker: 0
01:48:55

Okay.

Speaker: 1
01:48:56

Okay. So so I was I lived alone at the ai, and I I, when I go to sleep at night, I locked my I lock my, my bedroom door. This is something I do. So I locked my door and, I was laying in bed and I had the television on. And a lot of times I’ll put the TV on mute, but keep the TV on when I fall asleep. Mhmm. Something I do.

Speaker: 1
01:49:15

So I was telling you how, because I sleep with a CPAP machine, how I would wrap myself up in a cocoon because I had an air source. So I I like it’s like a sarcophagus. Ai, like, put everything over my ai, and I tuck in my feet, my and I put my, ai, I swear you just see a tube coming out.

Speaker: 1
01:49:32

It’s it’s amazing. It’s like the sensory deprivation things. Right? Right.

Speaker: 2
01:49:37

Okay. That’s

Speaker: 1
01:49:37

what it’s like. Okay.

Speaker: 2
01:49:38

So I

Speaker: 1
01:49:38

got used to that. So anyway, I had just I was wide awake. I just muted my television, and I wrapped myself up like a fucking burrito. And I had the CPAP on. I’m laying there, and I always speak, like, one foot or one hand out. It’s just a nice cool breeze. It’s like a fun little thing to do when you’re wrapped up like that.

Speaker: 0
01:49:57

Right.

Speaker: 1
01:49:58

And I had my hand out. So this was out. And I’m just laying there, and I thought I heard something or somebody. I don’t know if it was talking or I heard what I thought was, like, the door open, I suppose. Like, again, wasn’t asleep that I wasn’t asleep. I was just I

Speaker: 0
01:50:16

was Just about to fall asleep.

Speaker: 1
01:50:19

I wouldn’t even, like, I Just laying there. Sure. Sure. Yeah. Yeah. Just ai there. Wake up or nothing like that. And I wasn’t it wasn’t Ai wasn’t laying there twenty minutes.

Speaker: 0
01:50:29

Right.

Speaker: 1
01:50:29

It wasn’t like that. And I I’m laying there and I heard walking or the door or something, and so I listened more intently. And I I didn’t hear anything again, and then all of a sudden Ai felt, I don’t know if it’s a hand, whatever you wanna call it, pressure squeeze over here on my hand.

Speaker: 1
01:50:53

Right? I just I just felt my hand get squeezed. And I what’s going on in my mind is I thought there was a intruder in the house initially. Right? Sai, like, an intruder came in the house, and I know I’m feeling this. I’m ai, I’m a this all happened in seconds, but I’m thinking, okay. I heard something.

Speaker: 1
01:51:11

Now this pressure on my hand, and it went tighter and tighter. And I’m like, someone is squeezing my hand right now. I have to act like I’m not feeling this because I don’t know what’s about to happen. But then I started in the same vein, I’m like, if this was a home intruder, why would they do this? It doesn’t make any sense to meh.

Speaker: 1
01:51:29

Like, so aren’t they gonna wake me up? Like, wouldn’t they try to get in and out? I’m thinking of this in a split second. And the pressure is such that it actually begins to hurt, not hurt ai, ow, get off, but ai like, oh, that’s squeezing.

Speaker: 2
01:51:41

You know

Speaker: 1
01:51:41

what I mean? And I’m like, alright. I am going to have to jump up and fight right now or something. Something’s happening here. And I said, are you awake? Are you awake? And I’m I’m like, I’m I’m I’m liter I’m awake. I’m awake right now. I’m laying here. I’m looking. I’m feeling my hand. I am fully awake.

Speaker: 1
01:51:57

And I was like, I feel like I either have to count to three, jump up and get ready to ai, or I could I’m vulnerable and I don’t know what’s gonna happen to me. I’m a blah blah blah. I’ll just take charge of the situation whenever I can.

Speaker: 2
01:52:10

Right.

Speaker: 1
01:52:10

And I just took a breath, and I was like, alright. Here I go. And I and I, did they let they let go. I felt the pressure release off my hand. And so that’s when I was, like, laying there with it limp, and I was like, I’m gonna jump up right now, And I was whatever happens happens.

Speaker: 1
01:52:25

And it was, like, nerve wracking. And I just jumped up in my bed up. So I was standing on the bed. I, like, threw the things off, and I just, like, was ready to and there was nothing there on my door.

Speaker: 0
01:52:37

How long was something squeezing your hand for?

Speaker: 1
01:52:40

I’ll say less than ten seconds.

Speaker: 0
01:52:43

That’s a long time.

Speaker: 1
01:52:45

Yeah. Maybe yeah. Maybe, like, ten seconds. Because it was first, it was on meh, and then it was more pressure, and then more pressure, and then let go. And then when I jumped up, no one in my ram, door locked. And so and I was like, I’m up. I was up. I was just up. I’m not, like, sleeping. And it freaked me out. I turned every light on, opened my door, walked around the house. I almost like I was like, do I leave?

Speaker: 0
01:53:10

Like Maybe the aliens thought you were trying to kill yourself. What? Maybe the aliens. Who had the movie? Maybe maybe that’s what it was. Maybe it was an alien came down like, ai, buddy. You what do you

Speaker: 2
01:53:20

want to

Speaker: 0
01:53:20

do with the because I was wrapped up. You’re wrapped up with a tube coming out. I was like, this guy might be offing himself. We’ve never seen this before.

Speaker: 1
01:53:26

I want an explanation.

Speaker: 0
01:53:27

They’re like, when the people sleep, they never sleep with their head covered. We need to get in. And they just went in and just ram his hand. We need Sal to stay alive.

Speaker: 1
01:53:34

It definitely looks weird from the outside when I sleep. Like, if you saw a picture of it, it looks like what the fuck is going on.

Speaker: 0
01:53:39

Shane was telling us a story the other night about how he had ai, like, you know, they talk about, like, sleep paralysis demons.

Speaker: 1
01:53:46

Yeah. Like, I ai sleep paralysis.

Speaker: 0
01:53:48

An experience of, like, a thing standing over his bed with, like, a white face. Like, oh, and he couldn’t move.

Speaker: 1
01:53:56

He’s having a shame?

Speaker: 0
01:53:57

Yes. And I go, dude How many how

Speaker: 1
01:54:00

many cases ai an alien. Was was he

Speaker: 2
01:54:02

No.

Speaker: 0
01:54:02

He said he was sober. Really? He was younger. Yeah. He was, like, I think he said he was 23 or 24 when it happened.

Speaker: 1
01:54:07

Yeah. Okay. So I

Speaker: 0
01:54:08

go, dude, you got abducted. I think the aliens came. Yeah.

Speaker: 1
01:54:13

Oh, shit.

Speaker: 0
01:54:14

Yeah. I think that’s what he was seeing. I think he was waking up from it, and there was one right there. And they had him paralyzed.

Speaker: 2
01:54:23

Yeah. But

Speaker: 0
01:54:23

I don’t know why You know why Why

Speaker: 1
01:54:25

sai alien would be in my bedroom?

Speaker: 0
01:54:27

Well, I think there’s aliens that monitor a lot of people if they’re real.

Speaker: 1
01:54:31

And there’s a lot of stories there. How did they get in though? Because that little thing

Speaker: 0
01:54:34

They can just close. They could just appear. They go through right through walls apparently.

Speaker: 1
01:54:37

Doesn’t matter.

Speaker: 0
01:54:38

I think if they’ve let if they’ve reached a level of technological superiority where they could travel instantaneously through vast distances in space, which is what they think they’re able to do, ai, able to bend gravity and just and just, like, reappear on the other side. They just go right through your wall, bro.

Speaker: 1
01:54:56

Okay. So then why? Why ai they playing with my fingers?

Speaker: 0
01:55:00

Because they ai you.

Speaker: 1
01:55:01

They’re bending time and space. They’re traveling and they get to my my little

Speaker: 2
01:55:06

one

Speaker: 1
01:55:06

bedroom apartment and they stand in there and and watch me with my CPAP and then squeeze my three fingers.

Speaker: 0
01:55:11

Maybe they like your sense of humor and they would like you to stay around and they think you’re a positive contribution to the culture. And they don’t wanna mess up the delicate balance of the human race. They need more funny people. Maybe that’s it.

Speaker: 1
01:55:25

It makes no sense though. Right?

Speaker: 0
01:55:26

Of course, it doesn’t make sense. UFOs don’t make sense. Aliens don’t make sense. Ghosts don’t make sense either.

Speaker: 1
01:55:31

I don’t mean Someone grabbing

Speaker: 0
01:55:32

your hand doesn’t make sense. No, it doesn’t make sense.

Speaker: 1
01:55:34

But I but I I it it just it sucks that I’ll never have an answer.

Speaker: 0
01:55:38

Well, it could have been just a spasm. And one thing that could happen is your hand could have locked up for whatever weird reason because it happens all the time. It could happen with your foot. It could happen with

Speaker: 1
01:55:48

your leg. But I know shah. What it feels like to be locked up. Mhmm. This this felt as as pure as can be like sai like

Speaker: 0
01:55:55

this doing this. You ever be watching TV with your wife and and you start snoring and she goes, were you asleep? Ai like, no.

Speaker: 1
01:56:01

Yeah.

Speaker: 0
01:56:02

But you really

Speaker: 1
01:56:03

were? Yeah.

Speaker: 0
01:56:04

Do you think maybe you thought you were awake, but you were ai right there. I mean, you’re in there.

Speaker: 1
01:56:09

It’s the only explanation I got. You got

Speaker: 0
01:56:10

a tube in your mouth. You meh the CPAP. You’re wrapped up like a mummy. And then something’s grabbing your hand. Maybe you’re dreaming.

Speaker: 1
01:56:18

That thing would have been scared probably scared when I jumped

Speaker: 0
01:56:20

out with the mask going away. No. But, Or aliens.

Speaker: 1
01:56:24

But but but here’s the thing. I really took inventory before I jumped up to fight. Like, I was like, I am awake. I am feeling this. I am not sleeping.

Speaker: 0
01:56:33

I know I

Speaker: 2
01:56:34

am not sleeping.

Speaker: 1
01:56:34

While you were

Speaker: 0
01:56:34

feeling the pressure on your

Speaker: 2
01:56:35

head.

Speaker: 1
01:56:35

Yes. Oh. Like, I was saying to myself, I’m one you are 100% awake. Like, this is happening to you right now.

Speaker: 0
01:56:41

Okay. Aliens.

Speaker: 1
01:56:42

Yeah. Fucking what?

Speaker: 0
01:56:44

Aliens or ghosts?

Speaker: 1
01:56:46

Ghost is what I thought, but

Speaker: 0
01:56:49

Yeah. Maybe. What’s the point? Well, ghosts seem to be in places where people die violently. Ai, the Comedy Store is a good example that. The Comedy Store used to be Ciro’s Ai. So it was owned by Bugsy Siegel. So for sure Right. Somebody got whacked. Whacked. Somebody got whacked.

Speaker: 0
01:57:07

And, you know, there’s also talk that, like, they use the basement to do illegal abortions. It’s like ai a lot of ai folklore around that place because it was a mob run ai.

Speaker: 1
01:57:20

They had to start doing that again saloni.

01:57:24

But so many people that worked there over the years that I was there. So many people that ai people that were like late night bartenders or,

Speaker: 0
01:57:51

But anyway, he’s at the Comedy Store sleeping on the stage, and he hears the seats clink around in the dark, like something’s moving the seats. And he he goes, hey, it’s, it’s meh, Carl. I got kicked out of my house, so I’m just sleeping on the stage. He doesn’t hear anything.

Speaker: 0
01:58:06

And then all of a sudden, something grabs his ankle and drags him off the stage onto the floor and starts pulling him through the crowd and then just lets go. And then he hears a door slam and then another door slam on the ai. And he’s laying in the middle of the Comedy Store main room.

Speaker: 0
01:58:23

There’s no people there. He has no idea what the fuck happened. He didn’t see anything. He just felt something ram him and drag him off the stage and into the crowd. And he never, he wasn’t like a guy who’d made things up.

Speaker: 1
01:58:36

Right. He

Speaker: 0
01:58:37

didn’t have any other stories like that.

Speaker: 1
01:58:38

But it’s not like a one of the workers or another comic fucking with him?

Speaker: 0
01:58:41

No. I don’t think so. No. I don’t think so. They would have definitely told him after a while. And also, I don’t think so because he didn’t see them. Ai, he he was like, I didn’t see anyone ram me. He’s like, it’s dark in there, but it’s not perfect darkness. Right. He’s like, I didn’t see whatever grabbed me and pulled me off the stage. It’s ai, maybe they didn’t like someone staying the night there. Maybe that’s their time.

Speaker: 0
01:59:05

Like, you will undo all your bullshit during the day with your bookkeeping and then at nighttime with your stupid jokes. But once you guys leave It becomes the ocean. It ai dark.

Speaker: 2
01:59:17

You just

Speaker: 0
01:59:17

get to see a place where a bunch of people died. Damn. Yeah.

Speaker: 1
01:59:21

There was a there was a lot of there was a lot of suicide there. Right?

Speaker: 0
01:59:24

At the store? No. There was just one Well,

01:59:25

that store at the hotel next door.

Speaker: 0
01:59:26

The guy jumped off the roof. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That was during the the days where the comics weren’t making any money. So what is this? Comedy store popular night ai. So what does it say? One of the snazziest snazziest nightclubs during the forties and the fifties built by nightclub impresario William Wilkerson in the late nineteen thirties.

Speaker: 0
01:59:47

Ciro’s offered top entertainment, a swanky hangout for Hollywood stars and other high profile people, including gangster Mickey Cohen, who used the club as his base of operations and had peepholes drilled in the walls sai he could see who is coming and going.

Speaker: 1
02:00:02

Oh, shit.

Speaker: 0
02:00:03

While dancing, drinking, and dining went up on upstairs, Ciro’s basement with the ai of darker doings. Mob henchmen beat, tortured, and killed those who did not repay debts, owned, competing clubs, betrayed trust, or crossed the mob in some way. Pregnant showgirls and mob girlfriends received illegal abortions with at least one woman dying from her abortion.

Speaker: 0
02:00:25

Wait ai, security guards, and office workers arya reported seeing a frightened man in a World War two bomber jacket who fades upon sighting

Speaker: 2
02:00:34

What?

Speaker: 0
02:00:34

Of a huge black phantom in the basement and a man in his 19 garb walking around the premises and through walls. They have heard a woman wailing in the basement when no one was there, have experienced strange pranks such as chairs stacking themselves in the in the middle of the stage and perfectly set tables becoming unset.

Speaker: 0
02:00:54

Yeah. Everybody that I knew that worked there for a long period of time had something weird happen.

Speaker: 1
02:01:01

That’s weird.

Speaker: 0
02:01:01

But a few guys saw things. Like, one of the guys I forget his name, man. It was like a old school comic that was hanging around there. Said that, one night when he was a doorman, he was, going into the back bar area and some guy he saw some guy walk through the swinging doors.

Speaker: 0
02:01:18

You know, because there’s, like, two sets of swinging doors. So he walks in, and as he’s walking in, he sees this guy go through the other set. He’s ai, hey, we’re closed. And he goes out into the hallway, dead empty. I mean, instantaneously goes from seeing the guy walk through to, hey, meh, we’re closed.

Speaker: 0
02:01:38

There’s a long hallway and there’s no one. No no no one ram. No one nothing. He’s ai, dude, I saw a guy. He he pushed open the fucking the saloon doors. And it’s not just him. Multiple people have had weird stories like that.

Speaker: 0
02:01:55

And I always wonder, like, if someone dies in some horrific way ai that, that’s like, very ai, maybe it leaves ai a memory. Maybe it leaves like a stain of what, you know, ai the the the universe force, the peace love force of the universe is so disrupted by this vile act that it leaves this

Speaker: 1
02:02:13

like Ai.

Speaker: 0
02:02:14

Yeah. This haunted memory that exists in the speak. Because, like, they have to tell you if someone was murdered in a house.

Speaker: 1
02:02:21

They do?

Speaker: 0
02:02:21

Yeah. Oh,

Speaker: 1
02:02:22

I didn’t know that.

Speaker: 0
02:02:23

I think there’s a ai, you know, like, you can’t sai 1920 someone was murdered. Yeah. Yeah. Because someone was murdered at our club. Someone was murdered in our club in the seventies.

Speaker: 1
02:02:32

No shit. Mhmm.

Speaker: 0
02:02:34

Mhmm. Wow. Yeah. I forget the story. But the point is, like, if you buy a house, like, they have to tell you.

Speaker: 1
02:02:40

They have to disclose it. Yep.

Speaker: 3
02:02:42

Not every state.

Speaker: 0
02:02:43

Not every state?

Speaker: 3
02:02:43

Yeah. Some some states California does, but Texas, it says does not.

Speaker: 0
02:02:47

We don’t believe in that down here. We just bring in Jesus.

Speaker: 1
02:02:50

I’m doing this bit because ai,

Speaker: 0
02:02:52

Many states, there’s no duty to disclose death. Oh, so it’s only California and Alaska. What states make you? Texas and Florida do not have to have a general duty for deaths unrelated to the property’s condition. What if, like, a wall is splattered?

Speaker: 1
02:03:10

What if it’s ai a because I I am a

Speaker: 0
02:03:13

What’s how many states, make you tell? Those are the ones that believe in crystals.

Speaker: 1
02:03:20

Right? Makes

Speaker: 0
02:03:21

sense to know me, California. Right? Doesn’t it? Doesn’t it make sense? Alaska, California, and South Dakota. Only three states. That’s nuts.

Speaker: 3
02:03:33

So there’s there’s just a ai too.

Speaker: 0
02:03:35

Oh, in California It’s

Speaker: 3
02:03:36

a year.

Speaker: 0
02:03:37

Three years. And in South Dakota, they twelve months. Get over it.

Speaker: 1
02:03:42

Twelve months?

Speaker: 0
02:03:43

That’s so funny. Alaska is just within the past year. Oh, a suicide too in Alaska. What? Listed as suicide as well. That’s interesting.

Speaker: 1
02:03:50

What is the point of the twelve months? Get over it. Like, who’s who’s putting that in ai?

Speaker: 0
02:03:55

Life moves on, Sal.

Speaker: 1
02:03:56

So we don’t have it for months a while. You know of as more than twelve months ago?

Speaker: 0
02:04:00

That’s actually shocking. I would have thought it would have been way more than that.

Speaker: 1
02:04:03

Yeah. That’s crazy. That’s crazy.

Speaker: 0
02:04:05

That it really is.

Speaker: 1
02:04:06

I have a I just recently, when, my wife was not home for a few days and I and, when we were having the baby and everything and, I had to come home because I had work and I had to take care of my other daughter and stuff. And I was never in bed without my wife there. Like, I just it was the first time I was, like, laying in bed with

Speaker: 2
02:04:24

my daughter.

Speaker: 0
02:04:24

That’s when they come get you.

Speaker: 1
02:04:25

That’s when they got you. Right? Yeah. Of course. Right. Because she can’t

Speaker: 0
02:04:28

defend you.

Speaker: 1
02:04:29

Right. Exactly. No. This is a a new bit I’m doing based on something that happened to us. So, you know, she I’m on the road now, like, all the time for comedy. So she experiences that, but I don’t. And I was like, oh, this is I feel vulnerable. Like like, what if, like I’m thinking of it, like, what if something an intruder or a killer or something like ai, you know? Right.

Speaker: 1
02:04:44

So I’m thinking to myself, well, she’s what’s she what’s she gonna do if she’s here? She’s not gonna do anything. Like, I I and I started to think, well, all my her being home is just a false it’s a delusion of security for me. She might yell, alert me to the to the killer.

Speaker: 0
02:04:59

Just know one extra second. Yeah. Put your shit together.

Speaker: 1
02:05:02

She might yell, alert me that that could help or the killer might kill her and ai and I get away. I don’t want that to happen, but that’s just ai, what what could happen? Right? Right. She’s not there. I’m like, I need I need something in this house.

Speaker: 1
02:05:13

I I don’t have anything. So I didn’t think anything of this, but I I Amazon I ai ram machete to the house. Right? So it came the next day. She didn’t come home till three days later. So I had the machete in the house now. Like, I felt better, but I wasn’t gonna get it going.

Speaker: 1
02:05:26

I ai, you know, whatever. I I think I I couldn’t get it going that quick anyway. Right? So I don’t even know if it’s whatever. So I meh this machete. I have it in the we have the king-size bed. It’s a split king.

Speaker: 0
02:05:36

Right.

Speaker: 1
02:05:36

So I had it, like, in the crack of the bed.

Speaker: 0
02:05:39

Okay.

Speaker: 1
02:05:40

So when she came home three days later, she got home at night. She hadn’t been home in, like, six days. She took a shower. She had major surgery. She was healing, but she just got in meh. And it was already late at ai, and so I was in meh. And, like, we I’m I went in bed with her, and we shut the ai, and I was laying out.

Speaker: 1
02:05:56

I forgot that Ai I I didn’t tell her that I ordered a machete. I forgot that it was in between the bed. So she so she felt it, and and she’s like, what is this? And I just was like, I knew she wasn’t gonna be happy about it because I got so it’s just ai, you know, that’s our machete.

Speaker: 1
02:06:13

We got we got we got a machete, Amazon Prime the machete. She’s like, you’re not keeping the machete. Long story short, my when I was when I was laying there without her for a few days, I was like, this is not a good weapon because I’m gonna end up if an intruder comes, I’m gonna machete them, and then I we can’t live here anymore.

Speaker: 1
02:06:31

You have to move.

Speaker: 0
02:06:33

Yeah. You have to move.

Speaker: 1
02:06:34

If you get into a machete fight with someone and you you you chop them up, you have to move right away.

Speaker: 0
02:06:40

Pretty much.

Speaker: 1
02:06:41

You don’t even sai. Never ai things. You don’t

Speaker: 0
02:06:43

clean up.

Speaker: 1
02:06:44

You don’t stay the next day. And so I already arya thinking, well, how do I sell this house then? If Ai machete like, if I’m if I hit someone with a machete in here, they die right here. That’s bad for the listing. But I don’t have to disclose it now. Now that I learned, I don’t have to disclose it. Because I was, like, having an internal conflict.

Speaker: 0
02:07:01

Hold on to it for a year or do it one of those things.

Speaker: 1
02:07:04

I have to.

Speaker: 0
02:07:05

In New York, you don’t have to sell it to me anything. Right? Is that what it said?

Speaker: 1
02:07:07

Yeah. That’s what I’m saying. I So what were the states? Ai was worried about it.

Speaker: 3
02:07:10

Ask, though. You have to you have

Speaker: 0
02:07:11

to Oh, you gotta just call that. It’s like, are you a cop? That’s what it looked like. People thought that was real.

Speaker: 2
02:07:20

Yeah. That

Speaker: 0
02:07:21

is the Ai dirtiest trick they ever pulled in the woods.

Speaker: 1
02:07:23

Did you machete anyone here? No. You know if you machete someone, you have to tell us.

Speaker: 0
02:07:26

No. You got me. I’m an undercover cop.

Speaker: 1
02:07:31

Yeah. That’s funny, man.

Speaker: 2
02:07:32

It is

Speaker: 0
02:07:32

funny when you really stop and think about it because like that’s such a crazy idea.

Speaker: 1
02:07:36

That you have to.

Speaker: 0
02:07:37

That you have to tell them. But they don’t they lie about everything. Like, the guys that infiltrate the mob, you know, like those kind of guys, like, imagine if you have to tyler. Are you an undercover cop? That’s

Speaker: 1
02:07:46

so funny.

Speaker: 0
02:07:47

Oh, you got me.

Speaker: 1
02:07:48

That that that blows deep cover. It’s ai

Speaker: 0
02:07:52

Imagine Tony Brock’s

Speaker: 1
02:07:54

Joe Pistone. I shah

Speaker: 0
02:07:55

Joe Pistone on the podcast. Did you? Yeah. Yeah. Recently. He’s he’s Amazing.

Speaker: 1
02:07:59

He’s he’s eighteen months in deep undercover. One of the guys is like, are you a cop?

Speaker: 0
02:08:03

Yeah. Yeah. Imagine, oh, because if you say no and you really are, the case gets thrown out. Could you imagine? Imagine that’s the dumbest rule ever.

Speaker: 1
02:08:12

That’s just like some type of like ai lore or something like that.

Speaker: 0
02:08:16

Yeah. Just like something they probably did on a TV shah.

Speaker: 2
02:08:18

Yes.

Speaker: 1
02:08:18

You know, you gotta

Speaker: 2
02:08:19

tell me.

Speaker: 0
02:08:19

And people believed that. When

Speaker: 1
02:08:20

I was

Speaker: 0
02:08:20

a kid, I remember people saying that. If you’re buying weed and the guy says that he’s a cop Yeah. You can’t

Speaker: 1
02:08:26

he can’t Everyone messed up. Ai gotta ask him. Same. Ai bullshit. Complete bullshit.

Speaker: 0
02:08:30

Complete made up stuff. But that’s just one of those things you would hear when you were a kid.

Speaker: 1
02:08:34

Yeah. You

Speaker: 0
02:08:34

know? Before the Internet.

Speaker: 2
02:08:38

We ai

Speaker: 0
02:08:38

checked to see the truth.

Speaker: 1
02:08:39

I thought it was real. Like, I felt not that I was doing anything that would have warranted me having to ask, but ai Sai did feel like a sense of like Ai got something in my back pocket. If if something’s, like if I don’t know, you know, if I’m if I’m at a party underage drinking, like, you know.

Speaker: 0
02:08:52

You might be able to pull that out and rescue yourself. You got me. Get out of here, kid.

Speaker: 1
02:08:57

The best is the follow-up where if if the cop says no and everyone’s ai, you know you have to

Speaker: 0
02:09:03

tell me if you are. Ai, best What was that for?

Speaker: 1
02:09:08

Like, then the cop came. Oh, okay. Ai. Fine. Fine. Sai forgot I had to tell you. I forgot.

Speaker: 0
02:09:13

What’s the origin of that?

Speaker: 1
02:09:14

I don’t know. That’s so funny.

Speaker: 2
02:09:15

Do you

Speaker: 0
02:09:15

think that was ai a television show or a movie or something? I bet it was. And this is like I bet it was like a tool that they used in tyler or maybe it was like a CIA op to get people to think that they would be able to use that ai sai they don’t worry about doing illegal shit.

Speaker: 1
02:09:30

Ai ops feel like the good answer for everything. It does. Although it’s probably an episode of like Ai or something like that.

Speaker: 0
02:09:35

Psi ops also account for your hand grip. Somebody gripping your hand. There’s some remote viewer reached out some CIA basement, fucking focused on your hand and squeezed it.

Speaker: 1
02:09:44

Do you know I only learned what sai I only learned the term psyop with the drones recently.

Speaker: 0
02:09:48

Oh, really?

Speaker: 1
02:09:49

Yeah. I did I never heard of that.

Speaker: 0
02:09:50

Oh, that’s crazy. Yeah. You you never heard of psychological operations that are done on not just this civilization, but others?

Speaker: 1
02:09:58

No. I never heard I mean, at least ram as a ai. And I was like, what is that? And I was like, you know, because the the the drones, man, I was if that was a ai, I was fully psyop ed.

Speaker: 0
02:10:07

Well, I don’t know what that was, you know? Because they were gonna tell us supposedly, and then they kinda just didn’t.

Speaker: 1
02:10:14

Yeah. But No. I was waiting every day. Trump was ai, I’m gonna when I’m in, I’m gonna give you the full download immediately. It’s ridiculous. I’ll let you guys know what’s going on specifically, blah blah blah. And then it was it was he said so what he didn’t then he never addressed.

Speaker: 1
02:10:29

Then someone else said to him, like, hey. What was going on with those drones? What are you gonna tell us? And he was like, they’re ours. And that’s all he said. That was, like, that was, like, five weeks of I was watching drones outside outside my window every night.

Speaker: 1
02:10:42

I had Ai would have fucking binoculars. Like, my wife sai, go to bed. You’re gonna drive yourself crazy. I’m like, there’s there’s 12 drones outside right now.

Speaker: 0
02:10:50

Yeah. You can’t discount the idea that they’re not telling you the truth. Yeah. But they might have been ours too. That’s the problem. It might have been someone else’s. That doesn’t mean anything.

Speaker: 1
02:11:02

Yeah.

Speaker: 0
02:11:03

But it doesn’t mean anything.

Speaker: 1
02:11:03

But it’s weird how the administration before him refused to say anything and let it get to a fever pitch where people started to feel, like, completely, like not that Ai don’t trust the government already, but, like, it’s it got to a point where I was like, this is how are they allowed to just just tell us, oh, you’re not see it’s they’re they’re that’s not what you’re seeing. Like, it just was, like, I it was I was getting, like, really because now, you know, you think differently with kids and stuff like that.

Speaker: 1
02:11:28

I’m, like, what’s going on here? Well, there’s I arya, like, I started Amazon in, like, dry foods, ai, ai manuals and stuff. I’m like, what is are we gonna go to war? Like, what is going on?

Speaker: 0
02:11:39

So there’s a bunch of different possibilities. Right? And all of them, they don’t have to be truthful about it, nor would they be the the if it’s a national security issue, it’d probably be better if they weren’t truthful because people would freak out. It’s also the potential that they are ours and they did them on purpose to see how people would respond. Right. So that’s possible too.

Speaker: 1
02:12:01

Right. That I

Speaker: 0
02:12:01

think It’s also possible that they’re not ours, and there’s someone else who’s flexing on us, and they’re doing it in a way where they’re showing you we have technological superiority. Our our stuff is way more advanced than yours. And if there would be a culprit in that regard, in my mind, it would be China. Ai.

Speaker: 1
02:12:18

That’s what I thought at first.

Speaker: 0
02:12:19

China is so far ahead of The United States in drone technology. There’s so far The United States in electric car technology. Yeah. Ai, they’re doing some wild stuff over there. They they make I mean, at least Taiwan does. Makes all the semiconductor chips or a lot of them. There’s a lot of electronics that are being manufactured over there. They’re very high level of sophistication for their engineering and all the design and all the stuff they’re doing.

Speaker: 0
02:12:43

They’re they’re doing some

Speaker: 1
02:12:44

Sai don’t know the energy. They’re light years. Yeah.

Speaker: 0
02:12:47

Singapore’s light years ahead of us. I think we’re sleeping on how far advanced they are with certain stuff. They do drone shows that will fucking blow you away. They have synchronized drones that do, like, stories in the sky. Have you ever seen them, the Chinese drone shows?

Speaker: 1
02:13:03

I’ve seen, like, just light drone shows here where they’re, like, they form, like, an image or something like that.

Speaker: 0
02:13:09

Sai, this is the thing about regulations. Regulations are good. You don’t want a bunch of drones flying around, slamming into planes. Right. But the problem is if you only allow someone to fly these very sophisticated drones if they have a pilot’s license and then you regulate everything the way they do in America and then you say you can’t make this and you can’t make that and we can’t have this and you can’t have that.

Speaker: 0
02:13:29

You’re stifling innovation while in Ai, they’re going hog wild. Right. So they’re not even thinking about regulating. They’re making the best stuff they can make all the time and they have the best minds that they can have working on them because they have to.

Speaker: 1
02:13:43

Right.

Speaker: 0
02:13:44

Go make me a fucking drone army.

Speaker: 1
02:13:46

Right.

Speaker: 0
02:13:47

Jamie, pull up like the dragon one when they had the dragon in the sky. Dude, their shit is so far beyond what we’re doing.

Speaker: 1
02:13:55

I know. And that’s why I thought there was out there that that was them and that was

Speaker: 2
02:13:58

the fuck.

Speaker: 0
02:13:58

Easily be that.

Speaker: 1
02:13:59

But then Ram was just like, ai, it’s just us. It’s just us.

Speaker: 0
02:14:02

Maybe that’s what you have to say because if you say that Ai flexing on us Oh ai god. Yeah, dude.

Speaker: 3
02:14:08

Like, they

Speaker: 1
02:14:09

have Oh my god.

Speaker: 0
02:14:10

They have insane. And this isn’t even the craziest one. They have other ones that are even crazier. Ai, these things are nuts. Oh ai god. Exactly.

Speaker: 1
02:14:18

That’s all independently flown? A 100%. Like, every single one of those lights is independent.

02:14:23

One of those is independent. They’re all different drones, and they all are moving to the speak of some program they created.

Speaker: 1
02:14:29

Oh ai god.

Speaker: 0
02:14:30

It’s unbelievable, man. And that’s just the pretty stuff. Right? Now imagine if they’re doing that, what kind of military stuff do they have? What kind of stuff do they have that can block signals? What kind of stuff that they have that maybe has some sort of a novel power source or a novel battery supply?

Speaker: 1
02:14:46

Right.

Speaker: 0
02:14:47

My friend saw one of them that just hovered overhead. He said this thing just hovered. He said it was as as big as a fucking school bus, and it was just hovering above his head in New Jersey. Yeah. And he’s ai That’s what they were they

Speaker: 1
02:14:59

were ai the size of, like, cars.

Speaker: 0
02:15:00

And he said it wasn’t a helicopter. It wasn’t loud. Yeah.

Speaker: 1
02:15:04

Is that

Speaker: 0
02:15:04

it took off? And some of them, they said when they were going after them, they shut their lights off Yes. And evaded pursuit. Yes. They put jamming signals out, so you you you couldn’t find their location. They were doing weird stuff. Yeah. So if that is ours, then they’re ai like, look, if you’re gonna do a real military exercise, that’s how you would do it.

Speaker: 0
02:15:23

If you’re gonna if you you’re gonna say, okay. We’re gonna we’re gonna plan this out, but we’re not gonna let the pilots know what’s going on. We’re gonna start flying these things over and seeing how these jets interact with them in a real world environment. Tell them not to shoot, give very distinct orders, either not to be shot down, cause we’re not gonna do anything hostile with these drones. Right.

Speaker: 0
02:15:40

Let’s see how good they are at finding them, tracking them. Let’s, like, pressure test the system. Right. So if they’re ours, I would say that would be a good way to do it. Yeah. I mean, it seems a little unethical. Yeah.

Speaker: 0
02:15:52

But you also get two things at the same time. You get the little psychological thing Yeah. Where you get to see how bad people freak out. Some people might freak out. Please look at my phone. Do whatever you want. Right. Sai an Alexa in my toilet. Do whatever you want. Right.

Speaker: 1
02:16:05

Right.

Speaker: 0
02:16:05

Just protect me from the drones. Yeah. So you could find out how people react to the UFO craze, and then you can also find out how well our drones are at evading modern warplanes.

Speaker: 1
02:16:17

Alexa sana the toilet’s not a bad idea as well. I won’t tell you sai sure.

Speaker: 0
02:16:20

You’re gonna have robots in your house that talk to you all day day and and report what you say to the government. I do that now. Happen.

Speaker: 1
02:16:27

I do that now. I I finally did chat g I did chat I was telling you, I did chat GPT finally. I was like, I’m not gonna do this. I’m not gonna do this. I really sana do this. And I was like, I also don’t wanna be left behind. Like, if this sai, like, you know, so

Speaker: 0
02:16:40

It’s gonna be inevitable. And it’s it’s not just gonna be inevitable. I mean, there’s gonna be versions of it that are gonna achieve things that the greatest human minds couldn’t even believe.

Speaker: 1
02:16:51

Yeah.

Speaker: 0
02:16:52

Couldn’t even believe it would be possible within our lifetime. That’s what I think. I think it’s going to get to a point when they have artificial general super intelligence and it’s, what is it? Eight twenty forty ai? When when what’s the year they think it’s gonna achieve, like, its peak intelligence? Just ai estimations. Ai, a lot of these guys, they point is it 2045 or 2049?

Speaker: 0
02:17:14

There’s like

Speaker: 1
02:17:14

That’s not

Speaker: 0
02:17:15

the Kurzweil guys. Didn’t because that was that conference that Ari and I and, Duncan went to back in the day. That was Kurzweil’s thing. I think it was 2049. So if at 2049, like, what does the AI look like then? It’s like some super creature, some new type of life form, you know, some new super intelligent thing that we made. Yeah. And then that’s when the aliens land.

Speaker: 0
02:17:42

It went ai. They go, finally, you guys made it. 2040 and 2050 with some placing a fifty percent probability around this time frame. Predictions range widely with some entrepreneurs and AI leaders being more optimistic, suggesting dates in the twenty thirties or even late twenty twenties, while others speak closer to mid century or later.

Speaker: 0
02:18:00

Wow. Nah. Well, that’s scary.

02:19:58

You’re gonna need to learn to use that bow and arrow. Ai can’t. It’s going

Speaker: 0
02:20:14

There’s no such thing as a little. Someone can, like, show how you do it once. But if you wanna learn, like, a traditional bow and arrow setup, I’m not the guy to do that.

Speaker: 1
02:20:21

Because the machete is not gonna

Speaker: 0
02:20:22

go that. No. The machete also, the grip, I don’t like how close it is to the blade. I don’t like I don’t

Speaker: 1
02:20:27

like that either. Yeah.

Speaker: 0
02:20:28

I don’t like that. Although, I did watch two guys in a machete fight in the streets, and one guy chopped the other guy’s hand off, and the other guy picked his hand up and left. Yeah. Yeah. That’s on, Instagram. Tom Segura sent me that one.

Speaker: 1
02:20:41

He picked it up and left?

Speaker: 0
02:20:42

Chopped his fucking hand right off, and that dude looked down, grabbed his hand, and left. He’s like, I guess this fight’s over. I just lost a hand. Let me pick up my hand and fucking skydaddle.

Speaker: 1
02:20:58

He took the hand. He’s optimistic.

Speaker: 0
02:21:00

Yeah. I mean, maybe they could stitch it back on.

Speaker: 1
02:21:02

You your hand gets chopped off. You don’t run? You get the hand?

Speaker: 0
02:21:06

You talk about the caliber of doctors available in a place where you can get your hand chopped off in a machete fight

Speaker: 2
02:21:13

fight in the street. Right. Right in front of a taco vendor. Yeah.

02:22:08

Ai did you do that?

Speaker: 1
02:22:08

I mean, he had to be in shock. Right? Because he was he was he looked composed.

Speaker: 0
02:22:11

Or that happens normally in his neighborhood. You know, probably a bunch of one handed dudes out there running around.

Speaker: 1
02:22:16

How many times was that reattached before this? No. He he strolled up to that. I know. He strolled up

Speaker: 0
02:22:22

to it. Yeah.

Speaker: 1
02:22:24

He had to be in shock. That was the most non it was like he was picking up a quarter.

Speaker: 0
02:22:29

Yeah. He’s obviously not a healthy individual. His life circumstances are not the best. He had a machete fight in the middle of the street.

Speaker: 1
02:22:37

The two of them.

Speaker: 2
02:22:38

Yeah.

Speaker: 0
02:22:38

It’s nuts.

Speaker: 1
02:22:38

And it wasn’t like they were in the jungle. They were at a gas station.

Speaker: 0
02:22:41

Crazy decision to make.

Speaker: 1
02:22:43

What could they have been fighting over?

Speaker: 0
02:22:45

Probably a check.

Speaker: 3
02:22:46

Just the first time you’re

Speaker: 2
02:22:46

at the place.

Speaker: 1
02:22:47

The toe. Isn’t that all?

Speaker: 3
02:22:48

Of a machete fight hand gives me seven different cases.

Speaker: 0
02:22:51

No. Don’t don’t show me anymore, Jamie. It’s not on video, but

Speaker: 3
02:22:54

it talks about it happening in different places.

Speaker: 0
02:22:56

Of course it has. I mean, imagine what life was like when people were sword fighting all the time. Yeah. That was a normal thing to carry on a sword everywhere.

Speaker: 1
02:23:03

A lot of people had no I meh it was very common to see people without limbs.

Speaker: 2
02:23:07

Oh, yeah.

Speaker: 0
02:23:08

Like like People pissing half their face. Yeah. Yeah. You probably What did they do back then?

Speaker: 1
02:23:12

Cauterize it or something? Like, how did they

Speaker: 0
02:23:14

They probably died. Yeah. Yeah. I bet Yeah. Got infected. Yeah. You know, they didn’t even know how to wash things back then. So as soon as you, you know, you get any kind of horrible injury, you’re gonna get an infection.

Speaker: 1
02:23:24

I just learned how George Washington died. Did you hear about this? No. Do you never heard about how he died?

Speaker: 2
02:23:29

How did he die?

Speaker: 1
02:23:30

It’s pretty fucked up. He caught a common cold and then thought that he needed to, he needed to get his blood sucked out of him. What? And so he got people to put leeches on him, and the leeches were just sucking the blood out of him. And it was ai it was like a cold. And then he got infected, and he basically caught on sai I guess, he was he went out in the rain or something like that and got a cold.

Speaker: 1
02:23:57

And then he it was a common cold, and he put leeches on him. They sucked out his blood, and then he he was losing blood. And then he he he ended up doing more stuff to himself. He basically killed himself. Jesus. Yeah.

Speaker: 0
02:24:11

It’s just a common cold?

Speaker: 1
02:24:12

It was a cold. Yeah. I I I didn’t know How do

Speaker: 0
02:24:14

you know it’s just a cold?

Speaker: 1
02:24:16

I just Long

Speaker: 0
02:24:17

ass time ago.

Speaker: 1
02:24:17

Yeah. Well, that’s what the research says. I mean, because on my show, we made, my buddy,

Speaker: 0
02:24:24

Maybe this is the anti Leech lobby.

Speaker: 1
02:24:26

We re meh reenacted his debt. So there was ai a there’s a walking tour in New York City, like a historical tour, and it ends at Francis Tyler, which is the oldest bar and that’s where Washington hung out. So we dressed them as Washington at the end of this tour and we put leeches on him.

Speaker: 0
02:24:40

Oh, god.

Speaker: 1
02:24:41

But we pulled it from the actual story. It’s kinda wild.

Speaker: 0
02:24:44

That is wild. And that’s what killed them, fucking leeches? It extracted a half a pint of blood. Oh, god. A guy did. So Rollins extracted half a pint of blood. Washington favored this treatment ai Martha’s voice concern. Should’ve listened to Martha, bro. As he believed it cured him of past ailments, Washington was also given to a mixture of molasses, butter, and vinegar to soothe his throat.

Speaker: 0
02:25:08

This mixture was difficult to swallow, causing Washington to convulse and nearly suffocate. Jesus.

Speaker: 1
02:25:14

And the sicker he got, the sicker he got, the more he thought it was the blood, so he kept telling him to add leeches.

Speaker: 0
02:25:20

Oh, god. Yeah. A solution of vinegar and sage tea prepared for gargling. He was bled for the fourth and final time. It was later reported the total of 32 ounces of blood was extracted during the last bleeding. Some in the press ai the practice of bloodletting used in an attempt to save Washington’s life.

Speaker: 0
02:25:42

Ain’t that crazy that bloodletting, which is fucking terrible for you, they used to think that that was a good thing back then.

Speaker: 1
02:25:48

Insane.

Speaker: 0
02:25:49

That is nuts.

Speaker: 1
02:25:50

Just drained all the blood out of himself.

Speaker: 0
02:25:52

Why did it who is the fucking genius in 1775 or whatever it was? What what year did he die? Had to be after that. Right? Yeah. It’s like 1799. ’99. Like, who who is the wizard? Who is that the top

Speaker: 1
02:26:06

But he But he guru. He he commanded it.

Speaker: 0
02:26:09

Who’s the Anthony Fauci of bloodletting? It’s both safe and effective. And he’s he got poor George. Believe that.

Speaker: 1
02:26:17

Ai? Multiple doctors.

Speaker: 0
02:26:19

But somebody must have told him to do that. It wasn’t his idea.

Speaker: 1
02:26:22

And he kept thanking them too. He was ai being gracious through vatsal, being like, thank you so much for helping me.

Speaker: 0
02:26:27

That’s so crazy. Five in the afternoon, washed and sai up from bed, dressed sana walked over to his chair. He returned to bed within thirty minutes. Crake went to him, and Lear reported that Washington said, doctor, I die hard, but I am not afraid to go. I believe from my first attack that I should not survive it. My breath cannot last long. Soon afterwards, Washington thanked all three doctors for their service.

Speaker: 0
02:26:51

Craig remained in the room. At eight at night, more blisters and cataplasms were ai. This time to Washington’s feet and legs. Is that what a leech is? A catapasm?

Speaker: 1
02:27:02

I I think so.

Speaker: 0
02:27:03

At ten at night, George Washington spoke requesting to be decently buried and to not let my body be put in the vault in less than three days after I ram dead. Maybe he just wanted to go. You know? It also could have been, ai, think about that guy. How many guys did that guy hack to death? You know? Yeah.

Speaker: 0
02:27:25

During the revolutionary ai, like, what what what what shit did he see?

Speaker: 1
02:27:29

A lot of machetes.

Speaker: 0
02:27:30

How meh muskets to the face did he sai? You know, and he was at the front ai, like, that fucking animal waded into battle. Yeah. You know? Ai stopped What at at that time and it’s like he’s probably ai, just take my fucking blood.

Speaker: 1
02:27:45

I’ve had enough.

Speaker: 0
02:27:47

Eighteen ninety nine. How old was he when he died?

Speaker: 0
02:27:50

Alright. Yeah. Seventeen ai nine rather. How old was he? 67? Yeah, bro.

Speaker: 1
02:27:57

He was done.

Speaker: 0
02:27:58

He was probably done. He was probably done.

Speaker: 1
02:28:02

I stopped watching Game of Thrones after season six just because just because I couldn’t I couldn’t bear to see one more slit throat.

Speaker: 0
02:28:09

And you see what that guy went through?

Speaker: 1
02:28:10

He’s like, yeah. He’s yeah.

Speaker: 0
02:28:12

I know. Game of the White Wedding got me. I was like, am I really invested in this show?

Speaker: 1
02:28:16

I stopped. I don’t know what happens after. I just Like The Walking

Speaker: 0
02:28:18

Dead, when they baseball batted that dude in the head, I was like, I’m out.

Speaker: 1
02:28:22

Yeah. I only watched this.

Speaker: 0
02:28:22

Like, Glenn they killed Glenn with a baseball bat.

Speaker: 1
02:28:24

Season two or three, I only did. No. You know what it was for me in, in Game of Thrones, they put, like, a little girl at the stake and burned her at the stake. Oh. That was, like, the end of season sai. And I was, like, why am I watching this? Yeah. Like, it’s just it’s not entertainment to me.

Speaker: 1
02:28:37

This is, like, this is, like, disturbing to me.

Speaker: 0
02:28:39

That show, at times, was very horrific. Yeah. Very horrific. But also fucking awesome.

Speaker: 1
02:28:47

Yeah. It was intense. It was intense. It was, like, really it’s a classic, but I I I don’t I didn’t care. I ai, like, I can’t watch another sai throat. I know.

Speaker: 0
02:28:56

But there were some cool moments, though. The you get past the slit throats. There were some moments where, Khaleesi had that dragon behind her and you didn’t see the dragon until like a couple of seconds before it burned the person. She’s talking to this person and she I don’t I forget what they had been guilty of. Yeah.

Speaker: 0
02:29:12

But she’s standing there and then in the darkness behind her saloni, you just see this dragon emerge. Ai it. It looks so realistic. That’s what’s so crazy about CGI.

Speaker: 1
02:29:32

It was good to see all those characters get their comeuppance. Everybody got their comeuppance.

Speaker: 0
02:29:36

That was the craziest thing about that show. Everybody died. I mean, the the the brother got his hand hacked off and they’re ai, what the fuck?

Speaker: 1
02:29:42

He’s got no hand. Yeah.

Speaker: 0
02:29:44

When that dude got killed by the

Speaker: 2
02:29:45

mountain, they crushed his head like a grape. I don’t remember that?

Speaker: 0
02:29:46

No. About the treatments they gave. Yeah. Grape or

Speaker: 2
02:29:48

something.

Speaker: 1
02:29:48

I don’t meh that.

Speaker: 3
02:29:49

No. About the treatments they gave George Washington.

Speaker: 0
02:29:51

Other treatments they gave him during that period were enemas and drugs to make him vomit and something called blisters where they applied Spanish fly onto his throat, which caused a painful blister again to remove these terrible humors that are caused by the inflammation. Humors?

Speaker: 3
02:30:09

Maybe it’s just Shabaya. Ai looks like tumors could have been there.

Speaker: 0
02:30:11

Oh, maybe tumors that were caused by the inflammation? That doesn’t make any sense. Tumors. But if the disease itself didn’t get George Washington, the doctor certainly did. Yeah, man. He probably wanted to go.

Speaker: 1
02:30:21

He didn’t have a disease, though. He had just a cold. Yeah. And and it just was all of these things, blisters and the suffocating him with the molasses and the leeches and everything. It’s ai, I didn’t know that. I had no idea.

Speaker: 0
02:30:32

Every time he closed his eyes, he probably saw a fucking bayonet through some guy’s eyeball that he did. Yeah. He probably saw some dude’s head that he bashed against a rock. He probably saw some other dude dude that he fucking battle axed in the head.

Speaker: 1
02:30:43

But they were all.

Speaker: 0
02:30:45

Ai know, but it’s like no one knew what PTSD was back then. Yeah. No one you know, even in Vietnam, they used to call it shell shocked.

Speaker: 1
02:30:52

Yeah. Shell shocked.

Speaker: 0
02:30:52

Yeah. No one knew what PTSD was. And this guy had to have all of it.

Speaker: 1
02:30:56

Right. You

Speaker: 0
02:30:57

know, he had all of it. Yeah. I meh, he had

Speaker: 1

Speaker: 0
02:31:18

Speaker: 0
02:31:57

No Jordans. No. Right. That is kinda happening today. If you think about it that way Yeah. In certain places. I didn’t think about it that way. But life is definitely way more barbaric then. Way more barbaric.

Speaker: 1
02:32:11

What’s the most we put up with now? Really?

Speaker: 0
02:32:13

Well, for now, not bad. But when the robots come, John Connor tried to warn us.

Speaker: 1
02:32:21

Is it it’s wild to watch those movies right now. I know. Those are kind of accurate.

Speaker: 0
02:32:25

Super accurate, like disturbingly accurate. Ai, and we’re just waiting right into it like, oh, we’re gonna be fine. This is fine.

Speaker: 1
02:32:33

But we’re all talking about it.

Speaker: 0
02:32:35

I forgot to tell you this when you were telling me about the scuba diving stuff. My buddy Adam Greentree, he, was free free diving and these guys meh you know, they have those really long flippers, the free divers do.

Speaker: 1
02:32:46

Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker: 0
02:32:47

That’s what they’re called. Right? Flippers? Fins?

Speaker: 1
02:32:48

That’s what I was saying. I didn’t know.

Speaker: 0
02:32:51

These fucking guys made him this really cool pair and painted them fish scales. And so no. It’s not dope. Because he swims in a place where they have shah. So he spearfishing. He shoots this fish, and these bull shah show up. Because apparently, so many people spearfish that the sharks have figured out that the sound of that gun going off means there’s gonna be blood in the water and a wounded fish, and they could steal it from the people.

Speaker: 0
02:33:18

And so as he shot the fish, these bull shah show up and they bite his fucking fins off. Both of his fins.

Speaker: 1
02:33:27

But just the fins?

Speaker: 0
02:33:28

Just the fins. Because they think the fin is a fish. Holy shit.

Speaker: 2
02:33:31

They don’t

Speaker: 0
02:33:31

know what the fuck he is, but they think his fins are a fish because they’ve got fucking scales on them. Freaking nuts.

Speaker: 1
02:33:37

I’m sure the fish helmet didn’t help either.

Speaker: 0
02:33:39

No. Did he? He had gills

Speaker: 1
02:33:43

and shit. He was dressed as a fish.

Speaker: 0
02:33:45

Imagine that’s your next thing they make you do after they hear this sound. You’re gonna fucking Meh heard you like scuba diving.

Speaker: 1
02:33:52

They just, we talked about this last time, but I I I’m not good with jump scares. I I we talked about this. Like, I’m just not good with it. They threw me in the hole in the house. We talked about this. Right. Right. So we just wrapped season 12.

Speaker: 1
02:34:03

So it was, like, one of the last things it’s ai my fault because because we were gonna put do this to Q. We’re gonna put him in a demolition derby and stuff and then have him not be able to finish until he canceled this cable. So insurance wouldn’t let us do the demolition derby. So now we’re in, like, Halloween time.

Speaker: 1
02:34:18

They found this, like, this place in Jersey that’s ai a warehouse that they do, like it’s an insane haunted house. It’s ai these people come in and get into makeup, like, two hours before, like, it’s like a really crazy one. They put me in this thing, and I and I was on ai on a live feed with an operator, and I could not leave the haunted house until I canceled my phone, Internet, and cable.

Speaker: 1
02:34:41

So so so I was in it for forty two minutes.

Speaker: 0
02:34:47

Oh, that’s ridiculous.

Speaker: 1
02:34:48

Yeah. The first thing that happened was I got it it went live on the feed, so I’m hearing it. I’m walking through it. This is like a a fucking warehouse. It is so so insane. The first thing was comes ai is sai we are experiencing, sai unusual traffic. You have a twelve to seventeen minute wait time. Oh, god. So I’m going through the haunted house.

Speaker: 0
02:35:07

Well, that would make me calm down. Like, after you get scared a few times, like, I get it.

Speaker: 1
02:35:11

No. No? No. What do you what do you mean you get it? What do you get?

Speaker: 0
02:35:14

What I get it. Run around an house. People come after you

Speaker: 1
02:35:17

the whole time.

Speaker: 0
02:35:18

Yeah. But after a while, meh used to it. No?

Speaker: 1
02:35:20

No. It got worse? It was it was like Did it ramp up? It yeah. Yo. Yeah. It was dude, it was it was like a warehouse. It’s like I never was in the I was never in the same room twice for forty minutes. It was like a huge, huge place. Oh. And so you didn’t know themes changed and demons changed and everything. Sounds fun. It wasn’t fun for me. I I’ll tell you.

Speaker: 1
02:35:39

I I this is an error in ai. I shouldn’t have done this, but I I needed to know because I said to them, I said, look, I just need if I’m really, like, if I need to breathe for a cycle, if you’re really messing with me and I need for real for it to stop, I need you to let me know truthfully that you’ll stop because I can’t do this.

Speaker: 1
02:35:58

My my my my nervous system is gonna be out of whack. It just it just is how I respond to this stuff. And so they sai, meh. But I didn’t believe them because I I’ve had this happen in the past, like, where we we fuck each other and we we don’t tell the truth. So I brought a taser with me because I or a, the stun gun.

Speaker: 1
02:36:18

I brought one with me in there because it made me feel at least if I felt that I needed one of these people to back off from me and I took out the tyler.

Speaker: 0
02:36:28

Tase them? An employee

Speaker: 1
02:36:29

No. I wouldn’t tase them. But I had it on me.

Speaker: 0
02:36:32

You showed them to scare it to them? I did. Scare them with it?

Speaker: 1
02:36:34

And it came out. It came out. Really? Yes. Because after the seventeen minute wait time, this guy came on. And you have to think about this. Like, I thought he was gonna continually hang up on me because I’m in a haunted house. Like, he’s screaming, and there’s some music, and I’m scream I’m running around.

Speaker: 1
02:36:50

And so I said as soon as he picked up, I said, just listen to me, please. And I’m I’m being dead serious. I I have to cancel my cable right now, and I’m in a haunted house. And there’s no other time I could do it. This is not a joke.

Speaker: 1
02:37:01

I need to stay on the phone with you, so you’re gonna hear screaming and me screaming and things happening, but please don’t hang up on me, please. And the guy goes, I understand. So so so he stayed on the line with me after he picked up, like, after, like, it was, like, fourteen minutes.

Speaker: 1
02:37:16

So by the time I was, like, thirty, thirty five minutes in, and they said these peep people weren’t gonna touch me, and they did. And, like, I just my nervous system was completely shah.

Speaker: 0
02:37:26

They weren’t supposed to touch you? No. What did the guy do?

Speaker: 1
02:37:29

No. They were grabbing me, running up to me, jumping from behind, like, all that stuff like that. Yeah. And so Ai I I was like, a part of me thought that it might be a little funny, but also, like, it they wouldn’t come near me if I was going brrrr. You know, like, so I was like, this is my way. And I took it out, and I did it.

Speaker: 1
02:37:44

And I didn’t realize, though, like, that, like, the afterward, I found out that the guy that owns a place they were watching on, like, the closed circuit televisions, and he freaked out because, like, he’s like, well, he has a taser on. Like, what is you can’t do he can’t do that.

Speaker: 1
02:37:59

Ai, and, you know, those people, they’re supposed to still come at meh, but, like, when I but they played it really cool. They were just, like, you know, ai, they they were, like, surrounding me and everything, and I was, like, just hitting the taser on him. But I put it away after a few minutes, but I, ai, it did give me, like, a respite that, like, they weren’t going to give me.

Speaker: 1
02:38:16

But after I vatsal the cable, they were, ai, it happened, like, sooner than they thought, sai they were, like, ai phone. Then Ai can after vatsal phone, they added in canceling Internet. So I stayed on with this guy. Ai vatsal phone, Internet, and cable. It took forty forty two minutes.

Speaker: 1
02:38:30

Jesus. But I got yeah. But I had it. I had the tyler, and I sometimes you gotta take, you know, into your own hands. You know.

Speaker: 0
02:38:35

I understand.

Speaker: 1
02:38:36

So I did. I did.

Speaker: 0
02:38:39

But it would have fucked it would have really sucked if you actually tasered somebody though.

Speaker: 1
02:38:43

I had

Speaker: 0
02:38:44

another tyler? To not

Speaker: 1
02:38:46

to not do it.

Speaker: 0
02:38:47

No. Don’t you wanna know what it feels like when you have one?

Speaker: 1
02:38:52

I’ve been shocked really bad by large dog like dog shock collar? Yeah. So I guess, like, I don’t know if that’s the sai. But what

Speaker: 0
02:39:00

What is the what is the the difference between a dog shock collar and a taser? Ai, but there’s also different kinds of tasers. Right? There’s, like, really powerful tyler, and then there’s tasers that are like

Speaker: 1
02:39:11

Ai had they did this to me two times on the shah, and so How

Speaker: 0
02:39:14

bad is it?

Speaker: 1
02:39:15

They it’s it’s so bad. It might be online. They put them around my arms and legs.

Speaker: 0
02:39:20

At the same time, all four?

Speaker: 1
02:39:21

All four at the same ai. Then they had to

Speaker: 0
02:39:23

sai if that’ll kill you?

Speaker: 1
02:39:24

They didn’t. And my my wife was like, you have to go to the doctor because you can

Speaker: 0
02:39:28

god, dude. That’s a lot of electricity.

Speaker: 1
02:39:31

It was ai a 100 times they shocked me. Right? Oh my god. They made me give a museum tour. So I was a tour guide in the museum. I had them under my clothes, and I couldn’t let the people know that anything weird was going on. So I’m giving a tour of this museum, and the whole time they’re shocking me under my clothes, and I, like, can’t let on to people in my tour group.

Speaker: 1
02:39:50

And I didn’t wanna feel the shock until I was on camera because I was ai, I’m not gonna take any extra shocks. Right. So they they shocked me for the first time on camera, and I I I I almost jumped out of my clothes. I was like, I can’t do this. You can’t do this. I had to do it because you can’t say no to a punishment.

Speaker: 0
02:40:05

Yeah. But it seems like that punishment hadn’t been really vetted out.

Speaker: 1
02:40:08

It really wasn’t.

Speaker: 0
02:40:09

Four callers is probably too much. Like, they could’ve killed you. Imagine.

Speaker: 1
02:40:15

Well, listen. So the next season, they did it again, and I was at a seance. And I was like a You think psychic medium?

Speaker: 0
02:40:23

Sai how many collars

Speaker: 1
02:40:23

This is how funny it was. Dumb I am because I think I did irreparable damage.

Speaker: 0
02:40:28

For real? Because we went on tour after that. Alright. Here’s the difference. Dog collar, 400 volts to 7,000 volts. Taser, 50,000 volts. Sustained 1,200 volts. So it looks like initial 15 50,000 volts sustained 1,200 volts. So a taser is a lot worse, initially. But go back again. Go back again, Jamie.

Speaker: 0
02:40:51

But the thing is, like, you have four on. So you don’t have one dog show.

Speaker: 1
02:40:57

Hit me one

Speaker: 2
02:40:57

at a

Speaker: 1
02:40:58

ai, though.

Speaker: 0
02:40:58

You have four. Oh.

02:40:59

Ai just don’t know where it’s gonna come from.

Speaker: 0
02:41:01

Oh, I see. Yeah. Okay.

Speaker: 1
02:41:02

But if they held it down, like, you literally go like this. Like, you can’t move. You go ai

Speaker: 0
02:41:08

Oh, that’s crazy.

Speaker: 1
02:41:08

Yeah. I I’m saying it now and I’m ai, this shouldn’t have ever happened.

Speaker: 0
02:41:11

Ai. Well, if they only did one at a time, still that’s a lot.

Speaker: 1
02:41:15

It’s a lot too.

Speaker: 0
02:41:16

Ai could really hurt you. Like, did they check your heart for me? Did they check your heart? Did you go through an EKG or anything

Speaker: 1
02:41:21

like that? Ram. Jesus, man.

Speaker: 0
02:41:23

That’s silly.

Speaker: 1
02:41:24

Ai I’m worse off because when we went on tour after that, I thought it was, like, funny to do live. It hurt bad, but, like so for the whole tour, I would show, like, a clip from the television show and then be, like, I’m gonna tell you this story about, like, this time I’ve did I tell you I have tattoos of Jaden Smith on my body?

Speaker: 1
02:41:42

Like, photo realistic tattoos of Jaden Smith on my thighs?

Speaker: 0
02:41:45

Sai don’t think you did. No. Is that something you had to do?

Speaker: 1
02:41:48

I had to do. Meh. So I I was telling the story of that ai hooked up to the shah collars, like, at the at the show. And so they could they called up someone from the audience, and they stood behind meh, and they could shock me while I was doing this bit about Jaden, like, whenever they wanted.

Speaker: 1
02:42:01

And we did that throughout the tour.

Speaker: 0
02:42:03

Oh ai god.

Speaker: 1
02:42:03

Jaden Smith was in this, like, this alien movie or this, like, outer space movie that Meh. Night Shyamalan directed.
