#2266 - Brian Simpson

Joe Rogan podcast, check it out! The Joe Rogan Experience. Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day! Little thing you say.
Like, imagine having to be that measured in everything you say all the time. Just stick to the talking points.
Bro, that's my whole life. Ugh, that's stressful.
Yeah, it's super stressful, especially if you're a little intoxicated. You know, you get a couple of whiskeys and you start talking shit.
You got to be responsible for every word that comes out of your mouth, even if it's stupid. But, you know, I think people get it.
They get that people are human beings and they can stumble. Like people, they forgave a lot of Biden stumbles until they were like, what the fuck? a lot of people like in 2020 were like there's no way there's no way he's gonna do it he was too old to run when it was 2016.
he's kind of always been known for the gaffes like because i remember when when obama was picked him that was the number one concern was like oh but sometimes he's saying shit didn't know always he was famous he quoted as joe as a don't worry joe find a way to fuck things up i never heard that this supposedly what's hard to know what the quote was but supposedly he got out of all of it i mean yeah well that's because the machine was behind him right so he gets into office and you saw that like mike john, the Speaker of the House. He said that he had talked to him.
It took a year to have a meeting, and he finally had this meeting with him, and he wanted to talk to him about something. And he said, why did you sign this executive order? And it had something to do with liquid natural gas.
He said, I didn't sign that. He said, yes, you did, sir.
You signed it. Can we get it? And so he has the secretary printed up.
He brings it in. He had never read it.
So he was just signing executive orders that he didn't even know. He didn't know what it was about.
He thought it was about research and it was about shutting it down. And so that's a show.
There's a bunch of people behind him that want to do things and they think it's for the best interest of the country. And they're all acting as a big group.
That's like the puppeteer of the president. And that's not how it's supposed to be it's not supposed to be that way isn't it like that with every president i don't know because i think when a president brings in a new cabinet and the new cabinet starts doing different things then you see what's happening right now right so they've already found thousands of criminals that had snuck in here and had committed multiple crimes while they were here and And the Biden administration had left them here and they allowed them to stay in these sanctuary cities and sanctuary states.
And Trump's just yanking them out and flying them back to Colombia and flying them back to Mexico and flying them back to wherever they're from. Get the fuck out of here.
No, but exporting them in planes. The Biden administration could have done this, too.
Yeah, but I think i think they every president to get in there they do they do little shit different than the other side but at the end of the day the big major shit that would help out the average people that shit it always just falls short a couple votes trump is talking about getting rid of income tax and replacing it with tariffs i asked him him about that on the podcast. I thought he was joking around.
Yeah, exactly. He was saying that it would be better for the economy, we'd have way more money if instead of you paying tax, these companies should be paying tax.
Like, why are they making such a killing off the American people? But the companies would just charge us bigger prices, here's the thing could they if we had american manufacturing that can make the same products no so the whole idea the whole reason why they make the same products for the same but if you have other countries charge tariffs and i think we've charged tariffs in the past and it's a it's an interesting thing it's like you make a trade agreement it's essentially a agreement. And his position has always been that one side of the trade agreement was unbalanced and America does a stupid job of negotiating its trade agreements.
So he wants tariffs and everything. That's what he threatened the guy from Colombia with.
He said – because they didn't want to take the prisoners. The flights were coming over and he didn't want to give them approval to land.
They said, we're going to tax you. We're going to tariff you 25%.
And then like in a week, we're going to jack it up to 50%. And this guy wrote like a poem to Trump.
It was the most ridiculous thing ever. The guy's a wild dude.
I mean, that's the thing is like, if you bring in the tariffs, you have to make them so high that the American goods were cheaper by comparison. Well, you'd have to really ramp up American manufacturing in a lot of places.
Like, we don't make phones. That's one of the craziest things about America.
We can't make a phone. We can't even make a phone.
We make mistakes. Well, I mean, maybe we could make a phone.
Isn't there one phone that is made in America? Is there one phone that's manufactured here? I think there is. I mean, even if it's assembled here.
Is it the nothing phone? Is that it? I think it might be assembled here. I think they still have to get something.
They still have to get shit from China. Yeah.
They have to get shit from Taiwan. They have to get shit from India.
Yeah. Everybody gets their shit from somewhere.
Yeah. I mean, the problem with American manufacturing is you can't do it for as cheap as you have to pay people.
No, our is first of all we're addicted to buying new shit all the time i have a i have a bunch of phone lines and one of my phone lines i have an iphone 11 it's like five years old i don't notice when i'm using it like as long as it still works you don't notice on a normal experience what do I do with my phone? I'm not fucking making complex video rendering. You know, what am I doing? I'm watching YouTube videos.
I'm text messaging people. You don't notice, right? But we're force fed this idea that you're supposed to get a new one every year.
It's one of the weirdest things. You get a new TV every year.
You get a new computer every year. Why the fuck do you get a new phone every year? But every year they keep pushing us to get a new

phone. If you make a phone

that's American made, more

durable, and lasts

more than a year,

it would be worth a premium, and

I wouldn't have to feel bad about

slaves in China making it.

They need to bring back

Nokia phones. Remember those brick phones?

Yes. Well, don't do that.
Make it dope it dope make it a dope phone but you know i don't know man i don't think i think we i think those days are long gone the days of american manufacturing well i think with incentives with government incentives and people understanding that this competition that we're having is all technologically based.

And if all of our technology is getting made in another country, that's essentially a national security issue.

See, you know what I realize is like why – because sometimes, you know, politics comes up in the green room

and I just – I always separate myself from the conversation because I realize what everybody has,

regardless of what size of issues they're on, is they, y'all have hope.

I'm cynical.

I'm cynical than a motherfucker.

I'm like, this shit was over.

This shit, you know, it's like for me, I'm like, I see, I see the asteroid coming.

Yeah.

And I'm like, ain't that what we got to do about that.

Fitness isn't just about what you do in the gym. It's also about your nutrition.

But even with the best diet, some nutrients can be hard to get and AG1 can help fill those gaps. AG1 delivers optimal amounts of nutrients in forms that help your body perform.
AG1 makes foundational nutrition easy because there aren't a million different pills and capsules you have to keep track of. It's just one scoop mixed in water.
It's such an easy routine to keep in the mornings. Ingredients in AG1 are selected for absorption, nutrient density, and potency, and are intentionally picked to work in sync with the whole formula for optimal impact.
They're seriously committed to quality. AG1 is tested for hundreds of contaminants and impurities, and they're constantly reformulating their recipe to dial it in.
This is all part of why I've partnered with AG1 for years. So get started with AG1 this holiday season and get a free bottle of vitamin D3, K2, and five free AG1 travel packs with your first purchase at drinkag1.com slash Joe Rogan.
That's a $76 value gift for free if you go to drinkag1.com slash Joe Rogan. Seriously, get on this.
I don't know that. I'm interested to see.
Look, if Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
gets approved, I'm interested to see. If they start removing pesticides and herbicides and all these things that are killing people, if people's health improves, if we remove things from the human diet, if just start educating people on the importance of diet and exercise, I would love to see that.
But you know, the problem with that is we live in a society where like none of that shit's going to happen unless they make more money than what we already doing. That's not necessarily true because you can motivate people.
There's a real power in free motivation. And having a government that's like promoting health in that way would cause a bunch of people to take that step that they've been thinking about taking.
So a lot of times motivation doesn't catch you flat. Motivation catches you looking for motivation.
Right? Like you want to get your shit together? Be like, God, I just fucking need to get to the gym. I just need something.
And then one day, the government announces that we are going to turn the health of America around, and we are going to promote a national fitness regime. We're going to start bringing it to schools and kids to get people healthier.
We're going to bring in organic food and start feeding kids when you feed them in public schools and you have free lunches. Didn't Michelle Obama try to do something like that? Yeah, she did.
She got shut down. Immediately.
Exactly. They shut her right the fuck down.
They're like, sit down. You're going to fucking kill our profits.
Fuck this healthy shit. Because that's the other thing.
But what's different now than what's happened back then is we're so divided. If somebody in the government suggested anything was the best the healthiest thing at least half the country be like i'm not fucking with it for that very reason yep you know it's like so right yeah it's like it's like they attached obama to obamacare even though it was it was not a bad thing right and if like if trump was literally like hey every every american jumping jacks is the best exercise people like like, you don't know Trump jacks.
That's your president's exercise. So it's like we so divided, nothing's going to stick.
I also think that the problem with like health care and all these things where people are getting paid, you're dealing with a bunch of different games that are being played inside a game that has a function. And that function is health care.
Like it provides health care in a kind of shifty, shitty way. But the game it's playing is make the most money.
That's the game it's playing. It's playing a financial game.
That's why it's coming up with reasons to deny people and it's using AI to figure out how to deny people and they deny a large amount of claims. So you've got to look at it like what it actually is.
It's not that it's all bad but that there's a bunch of different games. Each person in that game is playing their own game.
You have thousands of employees.

You have thousands of people trying to corporate climb the corporate ladder and make more money and get promotions and make more money for the company and impress the board. They want a fucking yacht, bro.
I'm talking about how much we divided, but it's weird. That's the one thing they couldn't divide people on.
like I remember

like after

after the

CO got popped

like

on CNN

and MSBC

and divide it but it's weird that's the one thing they couldn't divide people on like i remember like after after that after the ceo got popped like on cnn and msbc and fox the the narrative was the like how dare people be excited because at first they tried to do what they do with everything and they they said oh these look at these liberals fucking laughing at death and then they realized like oh it's the insurance industry is fucked over everybody everybody they don't give a fuck who you voted for they'll fuck that might be the one

health care might be the one thing that we can come to like a bipartisan agreement on that health

insurance and insurance companies in general they they're just captivated by what a corporation is

a corporation has a responsibility to its shareholders to make the most money and they

just that's a problem with the whole structure of it is that no matter what the business is

Thank you. is.
A corporation has a responsibility to its shareholders to make the most money. And they just, that's a problem with the whole structure of it, is that no matter what the business is, they find a way to make money more than they find a way to do the thing that they're supposed to be doing well as a service to people.
If Trump actually fixed healthcare, he would go down as one of the greatest presidents. He would be, like, it would be, I think it would be a whole different, like if he actually did like viable, real change to the healthcare system that like made it work for everybody.
Well, it used to be that there was no social media. So if you wanted to make a big change, the government could gaslight you on TV in these press conferences and bring out experts and they could gaslight

you and tell you what to do.

And that was all the information you had.

That doesn't work anymore.

It doesn't work anymore.

So this is one of the reasons why this is the best time ever to kind of revamp health

care and revamp the way people think about what is healthy.

What is healthy?

But how are you going to revamp it in a way that still makes money?

Well, it doesn't have to. First of all, you're going to lose money.
The country's going to lose money. It's like, who's going to get the money? There's an exchange of money, right? So if a lot of people are sick all the time, and a lot of people are on Medicaid, and a lot of people are on health insurance, the country's going to spend more money that's going to go to pharmaceutical drug companies, but it doesn't have to go there.
We can't commit to giving it to them every year just because they've figured out a way to keep getting it. That's dumb.
The right way to say is we have to look at the collective money of the country. Wouldn't it be way better if we spent way less on health care because people got healthier because they figured out there's no easy way to do it.
You have to have diet and exercise. It's the most important foundation for any healthy human being.
It doesn't matter what kind of exercise. It probably doesn't even matter what kind of diet as long as you're like committed to eating healthy real food.
The whole thing is just diet and exercise and movement. That would fucking cure 70% of the problems we have in this country with health care because people would be healthy and so then you wouldn't be as susceptible to getting sick you wouldn't be as susceptible to getting injured there's a bunch of things that would probably likely stack up financially in our favor but that's how you make money out of it you make money out of it because everybody makes more money you make more money if you're healthy you make more money if you're active if you're if you're in the bed all the time because you have back surgery constantly or if you got this and that and you got a lot of interruptions in your life they're going to hiccup your career they're going to hiccup your whatever you're trying to accomplish in your life if you're you with being sick all the time.
So you think if people were healthier, they would deny less people? I think if people were healthier, first of all, you would need way less health care. First, that's the number one thing.
If people were fit and they took care of themselves, there's a giant part of, if you looked at all of the health care issues that we have in this country, there's a giant chunk of it that's connected to diet. It's connected to the standard American diet.
It's connected to eating too much calories, garbage food, obesity. All that is possible to shift that in a different direction.
You just have to change the way people eat. And that way you would see other people getting results And then you would want those results if you hear RFK jr On TV trying to motivate people to do this and you see him working out like maybe that's the thing you need that takes you from Man, I got to go to the gym one day.
Don't fuck it. I'm going to the gym.
This is it And then if more people do that, there's more healthy people if there's more healthy people people, there's less losers. If there's less losers, the country makes more money.
The whole GDP goes up. Everybody, you're going to do better.
You're going to do better with whatever you're doing in life if you're healthy. Because health is energy.
But how do you make people like... You don't make them do it, but you inspire.
And the government has never done that before. Why not try it? Why not try that? Why not try that? try that why not and try to like fucking gaslight people until you got to wear a mask in your car or you're gonna die instead of that gaslighting how about pump them up they scared the fuck out of everybody with covid how about they pump everybody the fuck up with health if the government wanted everybody to do anything they have to pay them you know another problem with my theory i give you a tax break if you lose 40 pounds.
Here's another problem with my theory. Trump eats nothing but McDonald's.
Drinks Diet Cokes. Sharp as a tack, 78 years old.
Like, okay. I don't know what to tell you.
If he came back, if he disappeared for like six months and came back just jacked. Jacked.
Shaved his head. Did you see him play tennis with Serena Williams? Nah.
He took his shoes off. He's playing tennis with Serena Williams.
I mean, plan, plan? Not playing like as good as she can play. She's not going to embarrass him.
No, obviously not that. They're volleying back and forth.
And he's playing. Is he running? He plays tennis, man.
He can play tennis. Oh.
Like, the guy plays tennis. I mean, I don't know how to play tennis, so I don't know if it looks good.
But I'm looking at him hitting the ball. It looks like he's doing it the right...
He doesn't look like me. If I was doing it, I'd be a fucking spaz.
I don't know how to play tennis. Completely lost.
Yeah. Yeah, well, let's see it.
It's because it... It was in 2015.
Oh, it was? Yeah. Oh, goddammit.
I got lied to by the reels.

I thought it just happened.

No, no, no.

2015.

But check out the tennis.

Check this out.

She could clearly fuck him up.

Oh, that's a nice gentle serve.

Look at it. But look at dude.

He's firing back.

Both of his shots are out of bounds.

He's old.

I mean, but he is doing better than I would do. Oh, way better than me.
I mean, he plays tennis. There's video of him playing tennis.
There's, like, photos of him playing tennis. So he does do some things.
It's like there's a lot of guys that are too – they can't go to a gym. It's just they need a purpose or they need something that occupies their brain so they play golf or they play tennis or they play games.
They play a little pick-up basketball. They do that for their health because they just can't do the gym thing.
I just don't want to do it. So they do something that keeps them active.
Most of the people I know do shit like that. Yeah, so he's active.
Pick up basketball or soccer. But that dude just eats cheeseburgers and shit all day long.
It's like, I don't know what to say.

But he probably also has zero stress.

Well, he has a way of letting shit roll off his back.

I mean, he had to have some stress, and that guy shot at him.

But even then, he gets hit in the ear, and he stands up and yells,

fight, fight, fight.

It's like, is this a movie?

Are we in a movie?

Is this like a simulation?

And then his ear healed up like Wolverine. Bro.
It healed up pretty quick. You can see a little mark on it.
There's like, is this a movie? Are we in a movie? Is this like a simulation? And then his ear healed up like Wolverine.

Bro. It healed up pretty quick.
You can see a little

mark on it. There's a little tiny

if you look at it, like when he was right there. I go, let me see it.

And he leaned in. You could kind of see.

You know what was wild about? The ear's filled with blood

vessels. That's why I bleed so much.
Nobody talks

about it anymore. No.
You know what else

nobody talks about? The guy who blew up

the cyber truck in front of Trump Tower?

What happened to that guy? I don't even know what you're talking about.

You don't know that story?

But this was after the election, correct? Yes, definitely. It was real recent.
New Year's Day. Okay, New Year's Day.
That's how crazy the news cycle is. Like you forget what day things happen.
Was that a year ago? No, it was last week. Oh, all right.
There's like something constantly bombarding you all the time. So this dude, what is the story behind he was a special forces guy right and he was in i think he was in a television show with tim kennedy they had like a special forces tv show where they did something so this guy's like you know he's an operator he's like a serious soldier why a cyber truck and he allegedly committed suicide um with a large handgun a desert eagle so he rented it okay large handgun and blew up this thing it says self inflicted gunshot wound what the whole thing's weird man nobody nobody could him doing this.
Everybody's saying it doesn't make sense. Why would he? This guy knew how to make bombs.
Why would he make a shitty bomb like that that doesn't even blow up the building? It just blows him up in the car. And why would he do it in a Cybertruck, which is like the most durable car you can buy?

Like that whole thing the cyber truck you saw that video where I tried to shoot an arrow through it

My arrow exploded that thing's solid steel

So why would you blow yourself up in a solid but you would get a convertible and fuck everybody up, right?

You if you're gonna blow up yourself in a car and you want to do the most damage, you'd have a car that you'd want to blow apart. Those Teslas contained the entire explosion.
Yeah, I mean, did he leave some kind of manifesto? I don't know if he left a note. Did he leave a note? I think so, yep.
They probably found it like barely smoldering outside the car. Look, it's like, remember when they found the terrorist passports? The planes went into the fucking World Trade Center, blew up in front of everybody's face, just a gigantic, enormous pile of fire.
And yet this dude's passport just barely singed on the outside like a Bugs Bunny cartoon falls to the ground. That was what the whole Sean Ryan thing was about because they sent the email.
And then it was, did the guy write the email? Right, that's right. That's right.
That's right. That's right.
That's right. Now I remember.
God, I forgot. Sean Ryan was involved in that.
And then people were saying that he didn't, that guy didn't send that to you. You got hoaxed.
And then Sean Ryan proved that the guy did send that. So he was saying some stuff in there about drones and what was he saying? Let's put up what he said.
You know what I realized, man. Shout out to Sean Ryan.
It said, in case I do not make it to my decision point or onto the Mexico border, I am sending this now. Please do not release this until 1 Jan and keep my identity private until then.
First off, I'm not under duress or hostile influence or control. My first car was a 2006 black Ford Mustang V6 for verification.
First of all, that's not true. That was not his first car.
No? No, he had a different car. We'll find that out in a second.
Put a tab on that, Jamie. What we have been seeing with drones is the operational use of gravitic propulsion systems powered aircraft by most recently China in the East Coast but throughout history the US only we in China have this capability our open location for this activity in the box is below China has been launching them from the Atlantic from submarines for years with this activity recently has picked up as of, it is just a show of force, and they are using it similar to how they use the balloon for SIGINT and ISR, which are also part of the integrated comm systems.
There are dozens of those balloons in the air at any given time. So what what is because of the speed and stealth of these unmanned aircraft.
They are the most dangerous threat to national security that has ever existed. They basically have an unlimited payload capacity and can park it over the White House if they wanted to.
It's checkmate. U.S.
government needs to give the history of this, how we're employing and weaponizing it, how China is employing them and what the way forward is. China is poised to attack anywhere in the East Coast.
I've been followed for over a week now, likely from homeland or FBI, and they're looking to move on me and are unlikely to let me cross into Mexico. but I won't because they know I am armed and I have a massive VBIED.
I think that's vehicle something. Oh, you know, you're a military guy.
I've been trying to maintain a very visible profile and have kept my phone and they are definitely digitally tracking me. I have knowledge of this program and also of war crimes that were covered up during airstrikes in the Nimraz province, Afghanistan in 2019 by the admin, DOD, DEA, and CIA.
I conducted targeting for these strikes of over 125 buildings. 65 were struck because of CIV, CAS that killed hundreds of civilians in a single day.

U.S. FORA continued strikes after spotting civilians on initial ISR.

It was supposed to take six minutes and scramble all aircraft to CENTCOM.

The U.N. basically called these war crimes, but the administration made them disappear.

I was part of that cover-up with U.S. FORA and agent redacted, they cut his name off, of the DEA.
So I don't know if my abduction attempt is related to either. I worked with General Miller's 10 staff on this as well as the response to Bala Murgab, AOBS commander at the time, redacted.
Okay, he said, you need to elevate

this to media so we avoid a world war because this is a mutually assured destruction situation.

So he gave his LinkedIn for vetting, active duty, you know, he get his profile, the whole deal. Now,

the problem is that was not his first car. So Google what his first car was.
But why lie about that? Because somebody might not have known. Like if you ask, there's a lot of people that say, what was your first car? And a lot of people don't know.
I've said it publicly, but how many people know what my first car was? Right, right. So if you're a dude and you're hanging out with other dudes, I don't know what your first car was.
Oh, so you're suggesting someone else wrote that? Yes. Oh, okay.
I mean, if they get the car wrong, yeah. Yeah, you're right.
I mean, that's a hell of a detail to get wrong. Here.
I had my first car was a 1973 Chevelle, but I only had it for like two days.

It broke down.

And the guy sold me a lemon, and I got my money back.

He came and got his car.

I think he knew he fucked me.

And then my next car after that was a 1968 Oldsmobile.

So I remember.

I know what my cars were.

Like, you're a kid.

You get your first car.

You know what your first car was.

Yeah, of course.

Bitch, if your first car was a 2007 Mustang, everyone's going to know. You're going to tell everybody, right? Yeah, you're not going to forget what your first car was.
You're going to know. You're not going to be confused.
You're not going to be confused as to what was your first car. You'll pull it out right away.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, I've never seen anybody get that wrong.
Your car is like the first time you have freedom. You can't believe you can just drive anywhere you want.
You go to your friend's house. You're like, dude, I can drive.
Yeah. It's one of the wildest experiences.
I remember clearly just learning to drive and how wild it was. You could just drive.
We're so used to it. It's terrifying.
we're basically riding around in amusement park rides you would pay a lot of money to ride in like your car that audi bro that's like you're in a you're in a super capable sports sedan from 2024 so you're talking about like modern suspension and anti-lock braking system and everything's controlled electronically and you have a fucking super powerful engine.

It's all taut and it moves differently based on how the fucking ground moves, like whether it's shitty surface or smooth surface.

They just adapt to everything.

That thing's glued.

Yeah, it's crazy.

Yeah, those things are crazy. This world that we live in today is so fun you would remember your first car i'm having a hard time this is one of the strangest searches i've had yeah i'll add this to conspiracy i can't find anything that's coming up with a date before like january 4th which would only be in a few days excuse me a few days after i've done.
Twitter search didn't show anything, and I hit latest, and it's still not showing me anything recent. Damn, somebody wrote a whole article about how that was not its first car.
I know, but it's just weird that it's blocking this stuff. Look at the thing.
Can you try the Brave browser? How would that? I don't know that it would have a – I'm on a website. I'm on Twitter.
What was that proof that that wasn't? And a Twitter search isn't giving me anything more recent than January 4th.

So when they say about discrepancies, does anybody use the car as a discrepancy?

Because I definitely know I read that.

No, that's not what I'm even bringing up.

I'm sort of saying, like, the search is being manipulated right now.

Like, I can't search for this.

What?

That's what I'm trying to say.

Ew.

Like, searching for his name in car, I don't get anything in the last three weeks that that's weird no one on twitter is talking about it let me imagine this is it possible that if there was a story like this and you were trying to like cover up discrepancies and you want people talking about it could you just flood the search with a bunch of other stories on it so that it takes so many pages to get to it that you never get it? I would argue, yes, you could. But I'm not seeing that.
I'm seeing the opposite. I'm seeing no stories other than, like, within the 48 hours of it happening.
Wow. Which means I find that odd.
That is weird. Like, I'll go to page two.
Bro, this is how shocked that I am. I didn't even know this happened.
News isn't showing. It's like four weeks ago.

How about just write, will you do me a favor and just write Matthew Liversberger, how do you say it? Livers? Liversberger. Liversberger's car was not, first car, just say first car.
I did. No, but let me ask you, just say first car was not a 2006 Ford Mustang.
I think that's too specific. Yeah, that's too specific.
But just try. was not first car was not a 2006 Ford Mustang.
But just try. Was not.
First car was not a 2006 Ford Mustang. I mean it's I'm getting the same thing.
It's not the best way to do a search. This ain't the little itty bitty teeny tiny bowl.

Please play responsibly. On behalf of Boothill Cas gun to shoot yourself in the car.
And the question is, like, when did he do it? Because it looks like the guy in the video in the car sits there, pulls up, and then the whole thing blows up. So are you telling me that he's blowing himself up and shooting himself at the same time? Like, does he have a button on his left hand that's the bomb detonator and then the trigger on his right? I don't know, man.
That's just highly advanced, man. The Cybertruck might have shot him.
When I take off the word car from my search on Twitter, I get tweets from two hours ago. So they're still tweeting like crazy about it.
But when I type in car, now it's old tweets. You get January 16th.
I'm on latest.'s weird You typed first car? I didn't I just typed in the word car I wish it should matter Tell me the whole conspiracy Try first car I already I know I know I reduced it so that it was less specific But what's the rest of the conspiracy? Incorrect after the first car discrepancies. Click on that.
Show more.

So, including incorrect reference for the first car Livilsberger owned.

According to public records, his first car was not a 2006 Ford, contrary to what is mentioned in the email.

This has led to skepticism on whether the email is real or fabricated.

That's it.

According to public records, that was not his first car. us the public records let's see it was a BMW 2008 1 Series BMW wouldn't this just be registered under his name maybe he borrowed one, maybe his parents registered it I think they checked his parents' cars too what about that it's 2006.
It's a big difference. See right here, why is Sean Ryan spreading an easily confirmed fake email? If your first car was a 1998 Mustang, would you say your first car was a 2007 Mustang? The dates don't even line up.
So he had a 98 Ford Mustang. Why is the BMW circled? Because, you see, the thing is, whenever weird shit happens, the first people talk before the shit they don't work those they are worse people so it looks like he didn't have he had scroll down back again so he had a 98 Mustang not a 2007 that was his first car then he had a 2008 BMW and then he had a Jeep look he never had a 2006 Mustang you can see right when he got divorced because he got a Mustang again.
I'm back, baby. 2018.
2018, he got a Ford Mustang GT. That's that midlife crisis.
He got the GT too. Greg Fitzsimmons got it.
He got it with the EcoBoost. He was telling me how much he loves it.
I was like, I know, but you didn't get the V8. He's like, oh, gas mileage.
I'm like, shut your mouth. What do you mean EcoBoost? Oh, it's a great engine.
Don't get me wrong. It's got plenty of power.
In comparison to old cars, it's way more powerful. I mean, it's a fast fucking car.
But the EcoBoost is just more fuel efficient. It doesn't have the same horsepower.
Oh, okay. And the GT has the Coyote V8 that has that rumble.
It makes you feel. You know, when you rumble, rumble.
You ever been in a red light with a guy in a Mustang and they take off and you hear that sound? Especially if he's got a manual. My homie, when I was in the service, he had this fucking blue Corvette.
I forget what year it was, but it was old. But he But he was obsessed with this motherfucking car, and it was so fucking loud.
Yeah. It was definitely like a 70-something.
You know what I mean? Or a 60-something. It was like an old.
Oh, the cool ones. Yeah, but it was like no modern technology in this motherfucker.
It was loud as shit. Corvettes are the only cars that looked good into the 70s.
All the other American cars turned to dog shit. They became boxes.
They became fuel-efficient boxes. But Corvettes always had that.
And then eventually they fucked that up, too. And they made Corvettes, like, flat and looked like a wedge.
They looked so stupid for a while. But now they're back.
They're better looking now, I think, like Tonys. I i think that these new ones the 2025s and 26s they're better than any other car ever any american car like the corvette zr1 it's greatest american car that's ever been built really it's 1100 horsepower i don't know shit about it oh brian simpson you ready to look at this you got one no no no i don't have one but this is um google this this literally the greatest American car I ever produced.
Buy a long shot. Corvette Z1.
ZR1. It's got a giant wing on the back of it.
It's literally a race car that you can buy. It has 1,100 horsepower.
Or, excuse me, 1,064 horsepower. And this is not even tuned, right? Guys are going to be able to do things with these things.
You gonna get these Hennessy guys is this new yeah you're gonna get these Hennessy guys that are gonna like jack up the boost and make them even faster these things are insanely fast insanely fast and insanely capable I don't know if they've got Nurburgring times on them but I wouldn't be surprised if it's the fastest American car ever How much does that cost? I think it's like a hundred and ninety thousand dollars I think they're coming to Austin soon Bro, this car is fucking insane. It has carbon fiber wheels It's insane and it's beautiful.
Like look at that thing I mean, it's just a piece of art and engineering,, together. It's really, it looks like what you'd expect from a foreign supercar, from like Ferrari or McLaren or something like that.
That's what it looks like. It looks incredible.
I don't know how we get on the subject. Oh, we were talking about how you remember your first car.
Oh, you remember your first car. Fuck, imagine your first car's this thing.
Your first car should be a Miata. Everybody should drive a stick shift Miata.
But you can't buy your, because some people get crazy and they buy their kids shit like that. Well, you know, it's like motorcycles.
I was going to get a motorcycle license at one point in time, and one of my buddies was going to get it like a Ninja. I was like, bro, we shouldn't do that.
We shouldn't just hop right on some crazy bike that you got to get comfortable with the whole deal of riding a bike. Bro, if I told you how many of my friends or family that I've had to talk out of getting a motorcycle.
It's like that midlife crisis part where it's like, hey bro, you never rode a motorcycle like you 40, you can't start now. got real close, and then the universe gave me a whole bunch of signs.
Bro, because even the best riders in the world will lay that bike down. Yep.
So it's like, you out here, you haven't ridden a bike ever or in 25 years. It's like, you're going to get fucked up out there.
You ever see the one where the dude is flying down a country road and he hits a deer? No. Oh.
This dude is like on one of those race bikes. Boom.
Flying through the air. I saw one the other day where it was the other way around.
It was like the end of a parade or something. And there were girls in the street and this guy, a bunch of motorcycles went by, one girl got hit oh god but it was like oh god oh man that's uh uh vehicles yeah but you can't so you didn't see this thing today um a black hawk helicopter collided with a american airlines flight over D.C.

Over D.C.? Over D.C., yeah, and they plunged into the Potomac,

and everybody's dead, and there's video of it.

There's a fireball in the sky.

The helicopter collides right with the plane,

explodes in the sky.

Watch this.

Boom.

They explode and collide in the sky, and then this is the plane oh man it's crazy and it's only i mean it's not there's nothing fortunate about it but it's fortunate that it landed in the river and then it didn't land on apartment buildings you know and kill kill a bunch more people.

Man.

I don't even know how that happens.

I've never heard of something like that happening.

And then where did the helicopter emanate from?

Where did it come from, Jamie?

Probably Andrews.

Because this is a military helicopter.

Andrews Air Force Base, I'm guessing.

I don't understand how that's possible.

I don't get it.

But I don't know anything about flying.

Man, you know. I don't understand how that's possible.

I don't get it.

But I don't know anything about flying.

Man, you know what?

Honestly, man, it comes close to happening a lot.

Fuck.

That's so crazy that a military helicopter collides with an American Airlines jet.

And I don't think it was some kind of malfunction. It probably was bad communication.
Somebody got wrong information. Yeah, maybe.
Unless we find out that someone was on that jet. Like someone who had some gravity drive scientist.
Some fucking dude who's at the forefront of quantum computing. He's got a laptop with him that he's trying to deliver to somebody in Saudi Arabia.
This is why I checked out, bro. Because it's so hard to take everything serious because we live in such a ridiculous time.
The chances are more than zero that what you said is the case just now. Right.
More than zero. It's like we live in the ridiculous.
We don't trust anything. Right.
I don't. So it's like that could be somebody.
Because my next thought shouldn't be, I wonder if somebody important was on that jet. The other thought was that you can control those helicopters remotely.
You don't have to have pilots. No, bullshit.
Yeah, you can. You can fly a helicopter remotely.
Yes. They use artificial intelligence now not just to fly helicopters, but also to fly jets.
And when they use jets that are controlled by artificial intelligence versus jets that are controlled by the best pilots we have, the jets can control by artificial intelligence win dogfights 100% of the time. Yeah, but they gonna fuck some...
I mean, listen, because all I have to judge... This is the tinfoil.
We're putting on some tinfoil. Yeah, but all I have to judge my artificial intelligence is the Google Gemini and ChatGVT and they be fucking shit up.
Yeah, but this is just consumer-grade. This is consumer-grade shit that didn't exist a while ago.
You want some coffee? No, I'm good. And exists now.
So here it is. Blackhawk remote-controlled demos have been performed by Sikorsky Aircraft and Lockheed Martin to demonstrate the ability to remotely control a Blackhawk helicopter.
These demos have shown the potential for autonomous flight and the ability to perform missions without a pilot.

Okay, but here's the other thing now.

But this is the thing. If it's such a super sophisticated piece of equipment, how is it not, if it is being piloted by a person,

how do they not have sensors that detect where the planes are?

How is that even possible? That you could be in a place where planes are flying 500 miles an hour, left and right, all over the place, landing and taking off, and you're going to fly through that and you don't know where the planes are? That seems insane. That doesn't even seem possible because how could you exist as a military aircraft if you don't have a comprehensive analysis of everything that's around you all the time we have sensors we put them on jets why wouldn't we put sensors on the helicopter they probably do have them so why didn't it work we'll find out pretty soon will we even know but everybody's dead right so how do you know when everybody's dead they think the pilots are dead of the helicopter there I believe there was was there supposed to be two people in the helicopter Four three three people in the helicopter and was it like 60 or 70 people? 60 people in the plane are dead And only 60 people on a flight on a small flight Yeah, it's mostly a figure skating team Fuck man.
Oh, yeah, cuz cuz that's the thing I was like it would have to be a group of people cuz if they just wanted to take out one person Wow, why why waste a helicopter like there's better ways to kill one person. Yeah Well, also you want like the worst press possible kill a plane filled with young figure skaters The sweetest most delicate people like twirling around the ice.
I mean we think of them like they're almost like likehumans you know that they wouldn't even want to think about that's why I like when that Tonya Harding Nancy Kerrigan shit went down nobody want to believe it's possible the figure skating communities got thugs remember that yeah the figure skating community tries to take out people by breaking their knees. And that shit was ripe for comedy for like five years.

Yeah.

People get vicious about shit, man.

People get vicious.

But here's the other thing.

It might just be incompetence.

Most likely it's incompetence.

Somebody was just fucked up.

Most likely someone made a mistake.

Most likely.

But in this day and age, when you know about things that have happened, you know about false flags, you know about all kinds of shit that happens You always got to wonder and if if we do find out here's worst-case scenario What if a foreign government has figured out a way to hack in to our equipment and? They can get a helicopter to fly right into a plane. Oh like this was a test this was like proof of concept? See, I think a better conspiracy would be if we found out that it was like Delta was behind it.
You know what I mean? Delta tried to take out American Airlines? Or like Alaska was like, yo, we're going to fucking ruin their reputation. But if you were a foreign country and you wanted to demonstrate that you have technical superiority over people, how would you do well first of all you'd lay the groundwork right this is one thing they definitely did right where's that lighter bro with that thank you sir you lay the groundwork and the groundwork is sell them all the shit they need sell them all the shit they need and some of the shit you sell them put a little back door in there put a little back door in there and they've been doing that that's a fact that's why huawei was banned from the united states they banned huawei phones they're the they were the most sophisticated phones they were coming out of china it was so good it was great yeah i've talked this before forgive me if you heard it before but i tried to buy a porsche design uh huawei phone uh it was an amazing phone it was like so much more advanced than iPhones it had a bigger battery and like a hundred megapixel camera and then right before it was coming out they put the ban and then there's all these national security concerns and Huawei is like spying on Americans and something about the routers and their systems they figured out there's like backdoor possibilities that were engineered into these things.
So they've sold us cell phone towers and computer chips and all this stuff and all the components that you need to run your AI. So wouldn't it make sense that if they're a part of it, they're integrated into it physically, and we know they put back doors on things.
Wouldn't you put back doors on the stuff that you're putting into jets? Wouldn't you pack—it's like, who's making that stuff? Who's making all those electronics that are inside the jets? I think we make those. Do you think we make the chips? Do you think we make the chips? Do you think we make—what do we make? Do we make the hard drives? Are you sure? I don't know.
I don't know. think we make the chips do you think do you think we make what do we make do we make the hard drives are you sure I don't know I don't know do we make the processors it just seems like do we do it would be a very smart thing but do we make this what does the do we make the processors or have there been installed some sort of electronical backdoor into almost everything that we have.
Almost everything we have. Anything can be taken over.
I think that it probably is the case, but it's definitely our government doing it. You know the Michael Hastings story, right? No.
You don't know that story? No. This was the guy who was a journalist who was writing for Rolling Stone, and he goes over to Afghanistan? Was it Afghanistan goes over to Afghanistan and Get stuck there Because of the volcano so the volcano in Iceland I think so this volcano blows up and the sky is covered with dirt You can't see for like weeks so you can't fly so he can't leave there So he gets stuck with his troop is embedded with these troops and they get loose they get loose They start saying things they start talking shit about Obama the general talk shit about Obama And then this guy puts all this in the story and he puts all this in this thing They thought he was like one of their homies.
We're just hanging out. We're just boys He's not gonna write about that.
Meanwhile, I got wrote about about all that shit you get these 20 year old kids They're deployed at war and of course they're gonna talk shit their kids you get the generals like hanging out with these guys They're gonna talk shit. They're a bunch of men out there doing war So he has to step down and he the general is one of the most beloved generals in the military And then this guy is terrified for his life and his opening the reporter the reporter is terrified for his life because he's been threatened to do so then he dies on was it Laurel Canyon La Brea he would he dies on La Brea going oh Melrose and Highland well either'm watching the video right now.

Either way. Either way.
Point is, he's in L.A. He's going like 120 miles an hour, and he goes straight into a tree, and the car explodes.
The car explodes, and watch how fast it goes. Look at this.
He just hits the gas, and boom, runs into a tree and explodes. had said, you know, if anything happens, I didn't kill myself.

And then the question was back then, so was this 2005?

2013.

So back then the question was, do they have the technology to take over vehicles? And if you ask people that are honest, the answer is yes. Yeah, they do.
There's a way to do it. It's not impossible.
It's not like, you know, breathing underwater. It can be done.
Whether you have to get access to the actual car itself and put something in there, I don't know. But it can be done.
That's why. This episode is brought to you by Warfare from A24, written and directed by Iraq war veteran Ray Mendoza and Civil War's Alex Garland.

People, like it's going to be a couple generations before people will be down with it being fully autonomous cars. Like, you know, we see all these driverless cars around this motherfucker all the time.
But it's like, I ain't getting one of them motherfuckers. Yeah, get the fuck out of here.
No way. But, because if they wanted to kill you, I mean, we saw that in the old,

the new Total Recall, they did that,

where it's like all the cars drive themselves,

but when they want to find you,

they fucking stop your car, pull you over.

Yeah, well, everybody's terrified about that.

You know, and there's cars right now

that they could shut off if there's a police chase.

That's what OnStar does, right? So, like, if you're in one of those corvettes i bet that corvette has onstar does that corvette of onstar so the what the way they sell you onstar is they say well brian if someone steals your car we can just shut it off and you're like oh that would be good i don't want anybody stealing my beautiful car but the the other side of that is we could also just shut it off for other reasons. Right.
We can shut it off because we don't like you and we just decided to shut your car off. But don't worry, it says right here that that's illegal.
You could have the wrong political opinion depending on who's in power. You know, you want to give these people power because you don't want the other side to win.
But then the problem is now you've established that the government, which is not always you, is going to have power.

And they're going to just be able to shut your fucking car off.

Stolen C7 Corvette disabled remotely by police using OnStar.

Yeah, they just shut them off.

See, that's a happy moment.

Look at that.

The sad moment is you've got a trunk load of meth and you're making a run for it.

They just shut your car off.

Right.

But imagine being a drug runner and getting all the features.

Well, the – meth and you're making a run for it they just shut your car off right but imagine imagine being a drug runner and getting all the features well the drug runners always get caught going too fast it's the dumbest fucking thing you'll ever hear they always get busted going like 16 miles an hour over the speed limit what does it say jamie mandatory comes with mandatory on star subscription There's no way around it. One of my favorite online lawyers, he always goes, his name is Bruce Rivers.
But he always saying, never commit a misdemeanor while you're committing a felony. Ooh.
You know? It's like, if you're moving cocaine, don't break the speed limit. Put on your seatbelt.
Yeah. It's just the dumbest.
But you get these kids that are willing to do these drug runs

and they're cocky and they're probably using.

Right? So they're probably taking

a little amphetamines while they're driving

to stay sharp, Brian. Can't get

sleepy behind the wheel. And they're

probably not the most reliable people

anyway. They're literal drug runners.

Like what they're doing can get them locked up

for the rest of their fucking life and they're probably gonna make $2 dollars for doing this yeah and i have some cool stories i mean who's gonna make the money they're probably doing it for somebody else right they're probably moving it for somebody and they they have to sell it and they get a piece and then you know and then they keep doing it and that's that's they just have to hope they don't get arrested and then they do it a few times you get a little cock I mean, someone's bringing all this shit in. Like, how's it getting in? If you're a cop and you're just out there looking around, how many of these moving trucks have fentanyl in them? I think the CIA is bringing most of it.
A bit of it, for sure. Because who stops selling drugs when they get away with it? Nobody.
Right. Why would they stop doing that? Right.
Now they just know how to not get caught. Well, maybe they probably work with people.

Because please believe, if we really, really wanted to stop drugs, it would be extreme, but we could. But we don't know.
It would be too hard. You'd have to take away too much freedom from people.
They wouldn't stand for it and they'd vote you out of office. I'm talking about to stop it from coming in the country.
Yes. You could stop it from coming in the country, but you're not going to stop a demand.
The real problem is just like the prohibition of alcohol. And I'm not comparing meth with alcohol because I think most people, most people that I know responsibly use alcohol.
They take a few drinks. I mean, I know a bunch of people who have abused it.
I know a bunch of people stop how to stop drinking. But most guys that we're friends with, you have a drink.
You guys want to do a shot? Let's do a shot. And then you go do your show and no one's getting drunk every night.
Right. You know what I mean? I rarely see anybody drunk.
But if you're out there doing meth, there's a chance you're not engaging in like responsible meth use. There's a good chance.
If you're using meth, you're going hard. You're just micro dosing? You're just going, nah, no one ain't microdosing meth.
They're going hard. I think meth gets you to go hard.
You're listening to fucking Slayer in your car, and you're fired up, and you're making bad decisions. Yeah, I mean, you're definitely just not thinking.
You're just doing. But what is Adderall? Adderall's super close to meth.
Super close. It's an amphetamine for sure.
Yeah, it's not the same yeah you get it's in the hunt people do wow shit on that shit too especially if you take a lot of it if you take a lot of it it might as well be meth if you and people abuse the shit out of everything you tell them to take one they're gonna take five or six i think the biggest problem is like most people's lives suck so bad that like drugs is their only thing that's true too that's true too because that's that's happy that's instant happiness it's like it's true even we because you know what's so funny is i think a lot of people assume that that most of the like homeless people on the street um are homeless because they got a drug they had a drug problem but it's usually the other way around they usually are fine when they hit the street and they they start using drugs. Because what else the fuck are you going to do? Where else are you going to get happiness from? You're not warm.
You're not safe. Well, there's probably a bunch of different scenarios there, but a lot of it has to do with drug use.
And a lot of it has to do with self-medicating. A lot of those people are just severely mentally ill and really should be in some sort of an institution.
People are never going to stop getting high. No, they're not going to.
I'm smoking a cigar right now. And I don't know what the solution is, oh, just legalize everything.
I don't know that either. I would have said that five years ago, but maybe that is the ultimate solution, but the way it's implemented, because I think they tried that in Seattle or Portland or somewhere.

Yeah, they had to stop it.

Yeah, and so it's like, but they also just went from what we're doing now to like just everything's legal.

Yeah, yeah, but they also, it's Portland.

They're ridiculous.

Those people are ridiculous.

That was Seattle, right?

No.

Was it Portland or Seattle?

Which one was it?

It was Oregon that legalized everything, right? Yeah, I think you're right. I think it was Oregon.
Yeah, it was Oregon. So it was Portland.
Portland's ridiculous. They're ridiculous.
So if you just say you can just do drugs wherever you want, just do whatever you want, everything's legal now, everyone's just going to be brazen about it. You've got a culture that was demonized for so long, and you have a culture of mental illness where people are looking for something to get them out of this rut that they're in and the only thing that makes them feel good is fentanyl or oxycodone or whatever the fuck they're taking what if that shit that makes you lean over what's that stuff it's a lot of shit to do it the stuff that we're doing yoga street trank whatever the fuck they're doing, they're trying to escape, right? And the idea that you just, like, leave them, they're obviously, like, severely mentally ill.
Like, if we spend money on people with illness, why don't we spend money on people with mental illness? It seems like if you want to support Medicaid, shouldn't you support, like, mass medical assistance to most of these people? because a lot of them are probably severely mentally ill and unmedicated and maybe they can be helped maybe someone can take them into an institution and get somebody calling you a socialist right now in the comments i am in a lot of ways i am with some things like the fire department i think the fire department is a very socialist idea. We're all going to put our money into this one group of people that's going to act in the best interest of the entire community and put out fires everywhere regardless of who's got money or doesn't.
Like if you're a poor person and you live on this block and your house catches on fire, they don't say, we're not going to put that fire out. We're only going to put the big guy's fire out.
No, a fucking house gets on fire. Everybody agrees that

fire needs to get put out so the fire people

move. You spend your tax dollars on that.

See, that's how I feel about healthcare.

It's true. That's a good way to look at it.

It's like, imagine if a fire department could deny you

when your house was burning. See, the problem

is they're already making so much money

doing it the way they're doing it now, and they've got a

really good system. If I was a business person

involved in that system, not just a human

being with ethics and morals,

I would say this is the way to do it because this is the way

Thank you. it the way they're doing it now and they've got a really good system if I was a business person involved in that system not just a human being with ethics and morals I would say this is the way to do it this is the way we're gonna make the most money yeah but but people are tired of it that's why people were cheering when that guy got shot which is kind of fucked up here's the truth of the matter some shit just can't be for profit if we if we want it to be for the the best stuff can't be for profit.
The thing about that guy shooting that person that's the most disturbing wasn't just that a lot of people cheered for it. But the most disturbing was that people weren't mad.
They weren't outraged. They didn't treat it like a regular assassination.
It was like an assassination where he deserved it. Right? It didn't seem like a bad, even though people are like, that was horrible.
It didn't seem like as bad a thing as like if someone shot John Lennon. Yeah.
You know what I mean? Or not even a famous person. If someone just randomly shot some, you know, executive as he was walking out.
You know how I reacted? The same way when they got Osama Bin Laden. I was like, it's the same to me.
Really?

Yeah. You feel like that insurance guy was Osama bin Laden? No, but I mean, they both are indirectly responsible for the death of how many Americans? Except he was doing it for profit.
Osama was doing it for the love of the game or whatever. I do think it's a corporate capture issue.
Because I think the culture of the corporation is to make as much money as possible and deny more people than the other insurance companies do. Like, they had a higher rate of denying.
Like, you can't let people's grandmas die and let them stay in pain and shit and then expect them to have empathy for you. Did you ever see that one video? I think we played it on podcast where this woman talked about how uh she made a decision to deny someone care that they definitely needed and she was thanked by the company and then the guy wound up dying and she knows that she could have given him the life-saving care she could have approved it and she was rewarded for not approving it like they were like you did the right thing so that that's like the culture is not about, see what we were talking about earlier, it's not really about healthcare.
Healthcare is the arena in which they're playing their game. But the real game is the people behind the scenes that are trying to make money.
And especially if you're doing something that is not, you don't have a lot of, it doesn't give you a lot of meaning to deny people healthcare. It doesn't give you a lot of meaning like you don't feel like you have a meaningful life so those people guarantee you they get addicted to material stuff they get addicted to getting a nice rolex i want to get the newest rolex i want to get a fucking ferrari i want to and you also gotta like it gotta it gotta switch up your whole ethic yep yep And you got to somehow or another placate yourself whether it's with drugs or with buying a new purse Something you need new stuff.
You're not gonna live in a fucking log hut in the woods If you're living like that you're not gonna be interested in start your own fire and reading books by candlelight shut the fuck up You're doing cocaine and you're trying to buy a house. You're surrounded by people that like, they're impressed by the shit you're doing too.
And they probably all medicate. Everybody's on probably something that's like, allows them to like not freak out all the time.
Some sort of anti-anxiety medication because of what they're doing. And then they don't feel fulfilled in life know you don't you don't feel like that's a good relationship between you and the way you make money and the way you interact with people no I don't think they feel good I mean some people might feel guilty afterwards I think they're medicated I bet yeah I bet if you're in I bet you have anxiety when you're doing stuff like that you probably need an SSRIRI.
You probably need a little something. But it's like the easiest person to lie to is yourself.
So it's like you probably feel like shit. You get that first paycheck and you start twisting shit so you can justify it.
Like, well, you know, somebody would do this. And you also realize, hey, the rest of the public, they don't know.
They don't know. That's just the insurance business.
That's the business. This is standard.
Standard is a word they use a lot when they're trying to fuck you. People looked at it very differently than someone just shooting some other person.
They almost looked at it like he deserved it. And it wasn't bipartisan.
That's what I mean. That was the wildest thing about the whole thing.
It was like you couldn't tell by any other information from anybody how they felt about it. I just felt nothing.
It was weird, too, because it gave a lot of liberal grifters the opportunity to celebrate someone getting shot and murdered violently, which is like should be the the complete opposite of the way they view violent crime. They should think of violence as being the last resort violence is abhorrent Violence is not a part of a civilized society.
We want kindness and compassion and want people to Be able to live their life help. You don't want Violent murders on the street if you are a progressive but a lot of progressives were cheering when this guy got murdered It just shows how many grifters and hypocrites there are.
Because for me, it just depends on who got murdered. I'm not rooting for a murderer, but if certain people die, I'm like, well, you know.
Well, I don't even know what this guy's relationship to that guy was. I don't know why he wanted to kill him, specifically.
And they haven't said specifically. I mean, there's a lot of speculation about, was it a family member or like he had a back surgery that screwed him up and but like I said, I only get the news that like rises that's like forced in my face because I don't watch any of the channels.
To me, it's different than like let's say some Iraq war veteran assassinated Dick Cheney. Like, that to me makes more sense.
That one makes more sense. Like, here's a guy who knows that this guy engineered this thing where they lied about weapons of mass destruction, led us into a war that ultimately wound up killing who knows how many people.
But I think Dick Cheney would have got a better reaction than this guy. You think people would have been sad that Dick Cheney got shot? Well, they would have thought it was very dangerous because whenever a vice president gets shot, everybody feels vulnerable.
I think that's something that you can partisanize. Partisanize a word? I think it's something you can make partisan.
But like I said, that's what's special. That's what's special about this is.
Everybody got fucked over by Trump. Everybody got fucked over.
So there's people that love Dick Cheney, or there's people that still hold those politics from back then. I don't know if anybody loved Dick Cheney.
That's why it was really crazy when Dick Cheney endorsed Kamala, and they were all like, yeah, what are are you? What? That guy? What? You forgot? Yeah, but I just mean, I don't think people I don't think he is as hated as I mean, the truth is, nobody I didn't even nobody knew that CEO's name before this. But the whole business is hated.
So he became the face of that. And it's it'solitical.
It's like I don't know a single person that hasn't had an issue with health insurance. Yeah.
Well, again, it's a business. It's a business designed to make money.
And all of them want to make – I mean they have an obligation. They need to make more money next quarter.
What can we do? What can we do? They start denying people. And if you're using AI, like, specifically to deny people, like, let's make this more efficient.
Is that what's happening now? I don't know if that's true, but I've read it. I've read it that some insurance companies are using AI to deny more claims than ever.
See if that's true. I wouldn't be shocked.
Would you be shocked? If you're a company and you're trying to make the most money and you find out that there's software that allow you to make more money and all you care about is making money, you're not really caring about health care. You don't want people to feel – if you did, you'd say we should all make less money and give out more money to these people.
We could, you know, accept more claims and we would have a much healthier world and we would feel better karmically right wouldn't that be nice if they thought like that you'd have to own the company you'd have to be like a guru like a really calm peaceful guru and you would own the company and just have like an ethical insurance company and not give anybody's stake in it don't let anybody like try to juice the system because they want to make more money like a like not like not a company. Exactly.
Stay private. Stay private.
Yeah, but don't you think the type of person that would even want to make an insurance company, like I think you would have to be a certain type. Yeah, you have to be a cyclist.
I should profit from suffering somehow. Yeah, I should.
Well, you're gambling, right? You're gambling that something doesn't happen to you that's more expensive than all the payments you give me every month for 10 years. Because I think if you start heading in that direction of like ethical health care, eventually you're going to arrive at, oh, there shouldn't be health insurance.
It should just cost what it costs. Well, it should probably be the same way we treat the fire department.
But if we're going to do that and people say, what about all these people that are obese? What about all these people that are eating bad food? Yeah, we got to educate our society. We have to think of ourselves as a community, as a collective community,

educate ourselves, and healthcare should be something that's paid for by the government.

Insurance companies use artificial intelligence to automatically deny claims, which you can raise concerns about bias and inaccuracies, which can raise concerns about bias and inaccuracies. If

your claim is denied by AI, you can take steps to understand your rights and challenge the denial. Keep records.
Document all correspondence with your insurer, including denial letters and any communication about AI. Lawyer can help you understand your rights and determine if the denial was made in bad faith.
Like, you're fucked. Yeah, for most people, especially people that work all day and you're dealing with this shit, you're fucked.
I think this is in California. Landmark law prohibits health insurance companies from using AI to deny health care coverage.
All right, that's great. Especially, like, using it specifically to deny.
So that's California. That's a great law.
The whole country should adopt that. Using AI to deny.

And the real problem with that is you want but you also want the best surgeons.
Right. You want the best doctors and they have to be motivated.
And most of them are motivated both by excelling in their practice and also by material possessions that reward them like doctors always have like a porsche doctors have a mercedes doctors have a nice house like you should be a doctor brian you should be a doctor a nice doc doctors make a lot of money but they also have a fuckload of bills and they have a fuckload of insurance okay so they have the problem with them is like liability insurance like liability insurance for malpractice insurance for doctors is crazy expensive but don't doctors still make good money in countries they do but they're they're constantly moving people in and out of their office because they got a fucking heavy nut to cover every month yes united health is facing multiple class action lawsuits over its use of algorithms its investment practices and its treatment of patients algorithm use claim processing United Health is facing a class action lawsuit over the algorithm it uses to process claims yeah yeah yeah monsters monsters but this is also because we've set up a system of profit now Imagine if that system of profit existed for the fire department Imagine if you had to pay fire department fees every month and if you didn't and your house burned they go Hey, Brian, we just checked and you don't have fire coverage and so then now you're fucked that sounds crazy That's crazy, right? Yeah, I mean that right so mean I So we agree that the fire department should be kind of a socialist organization. Yeah, okay.
Why not health care? That's how I feel but then the problem is you know Dr. Fucking Grossman he wants wants a Ferrari The baddest motherfucker for fixing knees he fixes everybody's knees on the Lakers.
He wants some money. Give him a Ferrari.
He's the best. Yeah, but the problem with that is how much does everybody get paid? Does the government just pay everybody the same way they're getting paid now? Or does it become like a government job like you're a state-appointed defense attorney? It becomes like the NFL.
You you know what i mean like not as motivated as some like super high-powered defense attorney that you know handles huge cases and knows the law inside you know i'm saying it's like who's gonna fix you now because like my friends in canada they say yeah health care is free but like one of my friends she had to wait my friend jen she had to wait like a year plus to get an ACL surgery. And it's all fucked up still.
So like for this ACL surgery, she's waiting like a whole year to get her knee fixed. I'm pretty sure, I hope I'm not speaking out of school.
I'm pretty sure it was close to a year. And so she's got a bad knee for a year.
Whereas like in America, you're supposed to be able to go to the doctor. The doctor says your healthcare is up.
Yep. You definitely tore your ACL, Brian.
OK, well, good news is you're covered. You know, you have a deductible, but this is your deductible.
OK, we can schedule you for February 16th. This is what we need you to do.
No aspirin. No this.
No that. You know, don't eat within eight hours you get here because you're going to go under.
They tell you they prep you for surgery. Or they tell you all of that.
And then they go, oh, actually, actually you not covered because you didn't tell us about this thing from yeah okay well i still need the surgery and i don't have you know fifty thousand dollars right it's like that's the shitty part yeah because there's some people that like they are healthy and they take care of themselves and they pay their insurance and then you know they get a tumor or something you know unforeseen

yes 100% and they're completely

fucked they're completely fucked and it's like that

shouldn't be possible well how about this fire

insurance deal in California

what happened like a

giant percentage of those people that

lost their homes in that fire they didn't have insurance

these insurance companies

pulled out of fire coverage

oh bro did you also

know there's fucking there's fires

the same thing's happening in South America

Thank you. these insurance companies pulled out a fire coverage.
Oh, bro, did you also know there's fucking, there's fires,

the same thing's happening in South America and Africa.

Really?

Yeah, just whole places burning the fuck down.

I'm shocked that I'm not hearing more about that because, you know, I only.

Here's the thing about the fires.

There's satellite video of those fires, all three of them starting at the same time.

You ever seen it?

No, no.

Oh, no. Here's the thing about the fires.
There's satellite video of those fires, all three of them starting at the same time. You ever seen it? No.
It's super suspicious. Super, super suspicious.
There's satellite footage of all the three fires starting at the same time. Simultaneously.
Yeah. You want to see it? Yeah.
You need to see it because it's so creepy. I think it was arson.
I think somebody did it. Whether it was a schizophrenic person, a firebug.
There's a lot of those people that are firebugs, man. There's people that are like actual arsonists.
And when you get into the conditions that happen in the Santa Ana winds when California's dry. You remember when it was.
You were there in 2018 with that big crazy fire, right? Did you see any of that on the 405? Yeah. It was insane.
Yeah. And I remember there being a big one probably like 2007 or 2008.
The thing is, it doesn't have to be some crazy conspiracy. People think it's a conspiracy, a land grab, this whole thing.
Maybe, maybe. But also, people start fires.
It's a known crime. In fact, one of the people that they arrested, he had a fake fire truck.
So this dude was a known arsonist, I believe from Oregon. He bought a fire truck with a fireman's outfit and was going into these areas.
That's actually hilarious. And he's an arsonist.
So he's probably starting fires. He's an arsonist with a fire truck.
How crazy is that? But some people are just out of their fucking minds, man. Including a lot of firemen.
Like, that's a problem with firemen. There's been firemen who have started fires.
But it's wild that you... I feel like if you go to prison for arson, like you purposely burnish it, if they let you out, they should at least track you like they track pedos.
Well, you've killed a lot of people. Like, if one of these, if someone, a human being was caught that definitely lit these three fires that appear simultaneously, if a human being did that, they're responsible for, I don't know how many deaths.
How many people died? I think it's 25 or something like that? Yeah. 25 burned alive.
How much damage? How many people are going to die later? The damage? Sure. Like, you're in jail for the rest of your life for everything.
For the damage. You're in jail for the rest of your life.
You owe $350 billion and counting. It's $350 billion of damage.
And then Altadena's gone. And are they still having the Grammys or whatever? I don't know.
They probably are. Well, we did the UFC there.
We did the UFC like in the middle of the fires. Oh, wow.
I didn't think we were going to do it. I was like, are we going to do it here? And Dana was like, we're going to do it.
The Clippers are going to play there on, I forget what day, but earlier in the week. And if the Clippers play, we're going to do it.
Otherwise, they were going to do Vegas. They were just going to move everybody to Vegas if it got worse because they keep starting.
New ones start. Oh, there's not over.
No. There's one that's up in Santa Clarita.
Somebody started one up there or something started one up there. The 2018, they know it was an accident because they know there was a part, the part that cost $1.
That one part failed and it started a fire a one dollar part yeah i think we're going to see more and more of this well they have to fix it they have to fix it you have to clean up the brush you have to do what they did with the water where they open up the water from the north to come flow freely down to the south and not divert it into the pacific ocean that fill up the reservoir that you had that was 11 million gallons that was empty, you fucking psychos. Like, what are you doing? You clearly haven't taken the right steps if that can happen.
It can be at least mitigated. You're always going to have those crazy winds.
You're always going to have arsonists. You're always going to have things that fuck up where something starts a fire accidentally.
Don't they do all that shit every year? Don't they do like control burns and all that stuff every year? Fact check old satellite footage falsely linked to 2025 LA wildfires. Yes, it's saying.
So what is that video of three fires starting simultaneously? Because people were saying it was the California fires. Is this the video? I don't know.
It looks like it. It's just a picture picture but this is from 2024 is fires these are fires are in a different spot than the ones that just happened so I don't know if that's the one though it's hard to say this is the caption from the so it's miscaptioned so it's not true what about the one where it shows a person starting the fire because there is one video where they think that they have an image, an actual image of a guy starting the fire.

I think it was a person near it, but I'll double check.

Whoops, just happened to be near it with a blowtorch.

How about that guy?

They caught that one guy?

And he's like, I was just lighting my joint.

He had a blowtorch in his hand. And they made like a citizen's arrest.

Yeah, but he might have been telling the truth.

Nope.

Dude had been arrested like eight times. He had v vandalism all kinds of shit on his resume violent crimes i believe that don't mean he was lying well he had he was running around in a fire with a blowtorch hey bro put that down yeah but how you gonna like how you gonna like your shit a lighter he said he couldn't afford a lighter bitch a lighter is a quarter yeah that's wild i I mean, it's wild just to carry a blue torch around.
How much is a lighter? How much is one of them little Bic lighters? A dollar? Is that a dollar? Yeah, like a dollar. Maybe it's probably a dollar 20-something.
See, if it's made in America, it's going to cost more. All right? Yeah.
Because otherwise, China's going to chop off our fucking supply of Bics. Who makes Bics? Am I guessing? See, in my head, I was thinking like, you in the house, you can't find a lighter.
So you're like, I got a torch. I'm going to just use that.
But you're saying he was like walking around outside. They found him out where the fires were with a blowtorch.
And he said it was empty. He said, Google, it's empty.
It's like, even if you're telling the truth, like your stupid ass deserve just the inconvenience. Yeah, it was a criminal.
What was I just going to ask you to Google? I'm trying to find a picture of the satellite of a person near the fire when it started. Huberman filmed people starting fires.
Andrew Huberman. He was driving down the street and he caught these guys starting a fire and filmed it, put it on his phone.
It's like people people are starting fires here because you got all these homeless people and crazy people and people that want to burn it all down man and while the fire is going on they feel like fuck it man let's fucking let's help this fucking fire fuck these rich people i mean it's the palisades they're like the richest people in all of la you think that's their motivations yeah i think a lot that for the arsonists. I think it's a lot of it is like fuck society, my life sucks.
I think a lot of people just, there's crazy people like the guy from Oregon that are like almost like amateur firefighters, like amateur arsonists. It's like their side project.
You see Chappelle talk about it on his SNL monologue? I didn't. Man, it's the best one ever.

Yeah.

Easy.

I know.

I need to sit down and watch it.

Everybody tells me it's awesome.

It's the best monologue I've ever seen on SNL.

Well, he talked about Palestine.

He compares Palestine to...

Yeah, he pretty much went through all the major things that's going on.

The Palestine thing is nuts.

I watched a video yesterday of Gaza and

I don't know if you've seen like flyover drone

footage of what it looks like now.

Nope. You want to see it?

Yeah, let's see it. Or do you want to like live

your life through rose-colored glasses?

No, I want to see it. I want to see it because I never see shit like this.

It's crazy. You shouldn't go looking for it.

Good. I won't send it to you anymore.

No, I just...

No, I don't mind how people send me the news, but I just don't actively go seek it out.

This is so depressing.

Because I'm like, if it's something I need to know, somebody will tell me about it.

There's a lot of before and after videos where they show someone driving down a road before,

and then they show what it all looks like now.

It's like the city doesn't exist anymore.

It's like way bigger than downtown Austinin wiped off the map look at this yeah this is crazy so this is flying drone footage over gaza city and it's just everything's destroyed everything's destroyed it's like a like a nuke went off. Look at this.

From the sky, when you look at it, as far as the eye can see, just destruction.

Everything's got a missile hole in it.

Everything's collapsed.

Everything's fucked up.

Every now and then, one house or one building in between is untouched.

But most of it is fucking destroyed.

If I was the guy who lived next door to that house that's perfect, I'd be like, who did you right he doesn't even get blown up once this is crazy crazy and this is right now right now and somehow we're being fed that this is the only way to do this and then somehow I know this is acceptable to get rid of Hamas just to completely annihilate everybody I mean the number of people that are dead now is off the charts they don't even know how many this looks insane insane it's insane and it's happening right now this is how it used to look this is what it used to look it used to look like. Look at that.
Shops and cars.

And now it's just destroyed.

Everything destroyed.

They bombed the fuck out of everything.

Bro, this shit make you feel something.

Well, this is like, this is never coming back.

Like, this is like, they essentially like moved everybody out of there.

Like, who's going to stay there now?

What is all of this? What is all of this? What is that? Tents. Tents where people have to stay in tents.
By the way, they might bomb those tents too. The whole thing is very scary, dude, because it's just at a level of destruction that's impossible to say that you support it.
It's like, insane these are human lives like how many how many people are dying here is this the only way to do

this is this the only way to do this this seems this seems crazy yeah and how did you guys get

to this point damn see man see joe you know this is why i avoid the news good it's because all the

happy all the stupidest people i know are happy as shit so i'm like i just need to know less

Thank you. See, man, see, Joe, this is why I avoid the news.
It's because all the stupidest people I know are happy as shit. So I'm like, I just need to know less.
And I can enjoy. I think there's something to that.
I just need to know less. I think we kind of need to pay attention nowadays.
I think things are getting real weird. Real weird.
Because you know what it is? It's the death of truth. It's hard to know what's true.
You hear something, it sounds true. And then you hear something else, go, that's not true.
And then both can point you to links and studies. And you're like, I...
It's just stressful trying to figure out what's correct and what isn't. Yeah, that's on purpose.
I know. That's on purpose.
They're doing a real good job of confusing people. That's when I,, you know, everybody thinks they're right.
Everybody thinks they're right. Yeah.
And there's also a lot of stuff that's going on behind the scenes. Like a lot of the way stories are amplified is to serve as a distraction from other things that are taking place at the same time.
Like they love to do stuff like that where they'll push out a story, like inflammatory story They're really the design of that story is to get you distracted from other things that are going on simultaneously

That's what I think a lot of this when I think about the UFO stuff. I'm always like man this

If I wanted something to distract the shit out of people, this is a really good one

Not saying that that's what they're doing, but it makes me

The science of a discovery yesterday. No, you were about to tell me at the beginning they fucking they had a um they they found a asteroid oh i did see this and it had like most of the ingredients for life yes like all the amino acids not all of them but like all but three and then all of uh i forget what the big ass word this lady used.
But I think this was a theory before, but it's becoming more and more likely that life was seeded by an asteroid or something. Yeah.
That's a theory called panspermia. Panspermia.
Yeah. And it also accounts for some things that don't fit in, like psilocybin mushrooms.
There's something very alien about them. One of the things about spores is that spores can survive almost anything.
They can survive in a vacuum. They can survive through space.
Spores are insanely durable. And if you have the potential for all of these amino acids and different minerals and – and there was absolutely salt on that, right? Wasn't there salt on that rock as well? I don't know.
Let me see. I think there was a bunch of different elements of life on that asteroid.
And why not spores? and if, you know know some mushroom that grows on another planet where these human beings interact with nature through it then it just lands here on earth did you find it osiris rex mission so they found amino acids nucleotide minerals from salt water, and more. So that means it has all the building blocks of life and it comes from salt water.
And a chunk of it comes flying off. Isn't that nutty? Like that's how a lot of things, they think that's like maybe how the water got here.
That's one of the theories. Yeah, that like comets.
A comet, yeah. That comets hit us and that's where we got the water.
Is that a real theory still? Because they changed those. You know, like they look at them and they go, well, maybe.
Like now they're wondering whether dark energy is real. They think maybe time moves differently in between galaxies.
Like they've got some new theory? Yeah, I've heard

I think I heard Neil deGrasse Tyson talk about that recently.

All of it is like, what are you

even saying? Or like

that gravity is different in different places?

Something like that? They think there's

that gravity and

space-time moves differently

in the voids in between galaxies

and planets.

Wait a minute, who's saying that? Who's saying that? that like what are you saying that's what i'm saying bro they're thinking that's what it counts for the i just need to know less because it's breaking my brain that's why they're apart from each other it's not that dark energy is pushing them away from each other i don't know like this this is the theory of like dark matter and dark energy it's like 90 something percent of the universe is this theory right so what does that mean so if it's not that then there's 90 of the universe what it's like just space time moving in a different way like what happened yeah so i mean science has been kind of killing it well they've got some new tools now like that james webb telescope that thing's crazy remember when i first told you about it hadn't launched yet? And I was like, that's going to change everything. Well, I remember Duncan told me something about it a long time ago.
He said they found something that they think is at least 22 billion years old. They found some star cluster or something that they think is 22 billion years old so it throws the whole big bang thing

No, that's interesting too because the Methuselah star is actually older

Somehow than the entire universe which doesn't make any sense

It's like 14 plus billion years old So it's like a little bit older than what they think was the big bang but then didn't somebody recently or not recently but didn't someone

Say that like

it's still within the margin of error yeah it's still within the margin the methuselah star is but not this new discovery so the new discovery for the james wudd telescope is they found um galaxies that formed too quickly and they they formed so long ago like so far away because they could see bigger now, that it's changing.

There's two things possible.

Maybe we... formed so long ago like so far away because they could see bitter now bigger now that it's changing like there's two things possible maybe we were wrong about how quickly galaxies form maybe they form way quicker or maybe the universe is way older than we think it is so maybe the reason why these things exist and then you could find them and then although there's things that like blink in and that they exist at one point in time and don't exist anymore.
They don't know what the fuck those are. These red lights, these red spots that they found in the universe.
But they think that people are very reluctant to commit, right? Because they don't really know. But the potential is that the universe is not 14 or 13 point whatever billion years old, maybe as old as 24 billion years old or maybe the next time you come in here I want to be here the next time you have one of these Lawrence Krauss you want to be in here with mechio cock yeah because I love I'm fascinated by this kind of shit the problem with two people talking is like I got this episode is brought to you by zip recruiter sometimes speed is a, like in the ring or on the field, being quicker than your opponent could be the difference between winning and losing.

Roka.com. You won't regret it.
They are the shit. Like, lock in on these dudes.
I just want to listen. Yeah, but you I'd want you to chime in to That this the like with some of these people like you have to have one-on-one because even if I do two guests like Everybody always has something cool to say right and then someone else is talking and you want It's hard.
It's hard to like work it and when you got someone who's talking about something like

very esoteric very difficult to grasp you know they're talking about like quantum physics you they're trying to explain to you the the the these the dynamics of these subatomic particles like what you need like one person just locked on every time i hear quantum physicists talk I never understand everything they say.

Bro, I barely understand a fraction of what they're talking about even when they're talking about other shit yeah yeah like they're operating on a different level like eric last thing trying to give you a fucking recipe oh yeah jesus christ man weinstein's crazy smart in a spooky way i know but, but he's like, he forgets how much smarter than. Right.
He'll talk to you in a way that like, I don't even know what you're saying. Yeah, but like, I don't have that degree, bro.
Yeah. Well, he has a theory of everything.
I do not understand it at all. I don't know how many people could follow it.
I don't understand it. But that kind of person that would sit around and try to create a theory of everything He's of the belief that potentially we're looking at the US made stuff That's like super advanced and that they put a lid on it somehow But what will be the purpose of that? Because I think if you develop something in secrecy like they do all the time with like stealth bomber all these things, even the Manhattan Project, you develop things in secrecy.
And then there comes a time where you test them, you use them, you have them, but then are you going to admit you have them? Because then the enemy is going to infiltrate. They're going to find out you have them.
There's espionage. They're going to steal your information.
They've been doing that forever. We talked about these back doors that China has and all our electronics or potentially could have right how many things are vulnerable because of ai now how many things are vulnerable because everything's attached to the internet how many things can be hacked who fucking knows but the the reality is we're in like a very uniquely vulnerable position in terms of if someone did have that kind of technology that could take over AI systems, that could kill the power grid, that could fly things through the sky autonomously, that move at speeds that are impossible to imagine with conventional aircraft, and can really, like he said, park it over the White House.
Maybe part of what he's saying is true. Maybe he really did write that.
Maybe someone wrote that and it's like some truth and some wacky shit to try to throw you off of the truth, which is also a strategy that gets used. When you have something that's like a real conspiracy, you know what you do? You attach it to a bunch of other shit like witchcraft, voodoo, fucking ghosts.
Attach it to stupid shit. You make it sound crazy.
Make it sound crazy. Yeah, these people came from the Bigfoot is an Interdimensional traveler who communicates with people telepathically You know add some stuff to it that just makes it stupid but inside of it have like the truth They definitely do that they do that to make people's story seems stupid when they go and tell them to the press Yeah, I mean that's what I would do if I was if was in my interest to keep some kind of weird thing secret.
Tell people, you're just going to sound crazy. Well, if you were abducted by a UFO, you're going to sound crazy.
What are you going to do? You walk in the green room and you see me changing heads. I turn around like, oh.
Have you been a robot this whole time? It's like no one will leave you the new alien Romulus have you seen the new one? oh yeah it was great actually I saw it that was the first time I actually enjoyed one of those they call them 4D or D-Box they got the smoke and all that shit oh you went to one of those places that's i saw that movie yeah oh that's a good move yeah and the thing is it's not a consistent experience yet but that was the best one i've had so far especially when i felt when i realized like you could turn the water off because because like when like the alien spray some of the shit get on you and shit oh it's like a spray from the ceiling. And I was like, you know, I'm having a good time.

But I don't want to get wet.

But can I turn this fucking water off?

But you can't.

I just didn't realize it for way too long.

It was the first of these alien movies since the original that captured the spirit of the

original one.

Like the fear of going through the corridors, not knowing where that thing is, it hunting

you, the way it got to those people.

That was a good alien movie.

I think that was the best alien movie since Alien 1 I think Alien 2 was like that though yeah but Alien 2 they were too easy to kill I didn't like how they could just gun them down but you're right it was the same sort of I don't know Prometheus was kind of the same kind of spirit too Prometheus was pretty good Covenant was better I liked Co liked Covenant. Covenant was really good.
Michael Fassbender, he's the shit. I didn't like Prometheus until the second time I watched it.
Oh, yeah? Yeah, because it just wasn't what I was expecting, you know? Right. But once I saw it on its own merit...
I think Covenant's better. Prometheus is pretty good, but they had this story to tell about seeding DNA and the operators.
Oh, no, no. You're right.
Yeah, Covenant was the one where they landed. Yeah.
Okay, yeah. That was great.
The other one was the actual human-like aliens and their planet, and they have some war, and they all die, and this one guy comes to... Remember? These guys.
Remember? That's Prometheus. I forget what they called them they call them the operators no but there was it said no xenomorphs they didn't have a war they um they were seeding other planets they're gonna do a prometheus too it says no xenomorphs and prometheus too oh they're gonna have a prometheus too these could be old articles i'm just.
Stumble across it. Because you have like a whole universe of alien possibilities now because they skip timelines and shit.
You know? Like this one is like right after the Nostromo gets blown up and they find it and they find the dude. You know, you saw it.
Yeah. It's fucking good.
Well, you know what was dope about Aliens 1 and... What was the one? The one...
no no aliens to latest one oh god what did I call it Romulus so what they had in common was like the the protagonist didn't know what they were dealing with right so that's what they made it more exciting you know right right right because it was right afterwards so it people hadn't known yet yeah and every and all the other aliens after that was like, Sigourney, we was like, I know exactly how to deal with these movies. Exactly, right.
Get away from her, you bitch. Please believe me.
Yeah, when she's got the fucking robot suit on. I didn't like that either.
That thing would fuck her up in that robot suit. And then wasn't there one where she gave birth to one yeah sigourney weaver was probably the first woman that was the badass in the lead of a science fiction action movie and it was 1979 bro speaking of which yo charlie's their own it's a it's a movie on netflix i have no idea why it wasn't bigger.
But it's called, like, she's a mortal. Can you look it up? She's a mortal? Yeah, she leads this team of immortals.
And they're like mercenaries or whatever. So it's like a superhero movie? Kind of.
Old Guard? Old Guard. It's good as shit.
Really? Yeah. Really? She's real good at playing like a badass.
You know, she played Furiosa. She killed that shit.
Well, she also played Eileen Wuornos, that serial killer bitch. Yeah, she don't fuck around.
Yeah. So, yeah.
She's a beautiful woman. She gained like 50 fucking pounds to play that person.
Really? Yeah, she got fat, shaved her eyebrows off, looked disgusting. Like, Charlize Theron is beautiful.
She's like stunningly good looking. Yeah.
I've seen her in person person and then you see what she looked like in that movie like you know the kind of courage that it takes to do that i see it oh you never saw monster bro okay no i've seen monster yeah monsters are great fucking movie shout out to my friend patty jenkins who made it but that movie was like no ladies do that like robert de niro did that. You know? Marky Mark's done that.
Stallone got fat for a movie. They'll do that.
But, like, for her? Wow. Bro.
Crazy. And she looks just like that lady.
No, but I didn't see this. I was mixing this up with another movie called, look, I Pissed on Your Grave or something.
Oh. What?

Yeah, there's a revenge movie called I Pissed on Your Grave.

I was telling you before, you know what's good?

It's Nosferatu.

Yeah, I'm going to go watch it right now. I'm going to download it for the plane, actually.

I'm saying it right now.

It's the best vampire movie ever.

Ever.

The best vampire movie ever.

That's a big statement.

That's a big statement.

I'm saying it.

It's the best vampire movie ever. It's the creepiest vampire movie ever.
So you're saying it's better than Blade. Blade was awesome.
Blade was a superhero movie. So you don't count Blade as a vampire movie? It was a vampire movie in that the superhero had to kill the vampires, but it's a Marvel comic guy.
I've known Blade since I was a teenager. I was into Marvel comics.
So Blade's a vampire the way that like Die Hard's a Christmas movie yeah Blade was a badass martial artist who was half vampire who was fucking up vampires he was the daywalker it's a fun superhero movie more than anything but the movie wasn't really about the vampires yeah right it was like they were the enemy and he was the good guy that was the movie the movie was essentially you know revenge they killed R, shit. You know? So what about, like, what's the one, the Teenage Heart Throbby one that kind of ruined it? Oh, Twilight? Yeah, that's bullshit.
But do you consider those vampire movies? Yeah, those are vampire movies. All right, all right.
They're fun. They're fun.
If you're a girl, like, there's a lot of stuff that girls like that I don't like. I don't have to like it for it to be good.
Obviously, it made hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars. love those movies.
But you know I'm not one of those people that's like it doesn't have to be good for me to like it. Because there's a lot of people that like bad movies.
Right. I can't get with it.
Yeah I'm not a fan of watching bad movies but Nosferatu is good. Is the trailer for Nosferatu? Yeah.
It's really good dude. It's really good.

Like, for real, like, if you like a good old-fashioned horror vampire movie,

and the dude who plays Count Orlok is the dude who played Pennywise in It. Oh, wait.

And it's the best vampire ever.

They're probably not going to show you anything in the trailer, what he looked like.

But holy shit, dude, there's this one scene where you get to see to see like his whole body naked when he rises up out of the coffin spoiler alert it's insane the the and not just creepy but beautifully shot oh i remember seeing previews for this oh dude it's good it's good it's good then and they're not going to even show you.

Even in the trailer, they don't show you the vampire.

See, I like that.

When you do get to see the dude, it's incredible.

That's not real.

That is like some fan-made shit.

There's a video where you could see him.

Google Orlok.

So much of the shit on the internet is bullshit.

I'll try not to spoil it for Brian. What? What he looks like? It's a big reveal in the movie.
I don't know. Really? But it's based on the image, the way he looks, is based on the original Legend of Dracula, which was a guy named Vlad the Impaler.
Oh, he was real? Yeah. This is what he looks like in this.
But you've got to see it. This is a very toned down version of it.
It's incredible. If you like a good scary horror movie, it's the best vampire movie.
I love a reveal. It's a great reveal.
It's really good. And they drag it out.
You get to see him kind of in the beginning, and then eventually you get to really see him. And you're like, oh my God.
And this isn i've heard other people talk about like this but that's the other thing that made alien great was like before it's like you don't always show the monster exactly exactly because it's like because because because because like horror is like seeing the monster and how much it's gonna definitely kill you yes but like terror is like knowing that there's some shit in here and I don't know what the fuck it is. You need a little foreplay.
Yeah, yeah. It's like I walk in before you get horrified.
Why is Johnson dead? I was just in here with it. What the fuck? Why the wall built it? You know, that's the shit that makes it good.
Exactly. Exactly.
And this movie does it perfect. Jaws.
Jaws. That's why Jaws was such a hit.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That's right.

That's right.

Jaws was great.

It still holds up.

It still holds up.

You ever seen Predator?

Predator holds up.

That still holds up.

The first Predator is?

If it bleeds, we can kill it.

No, no, no.

My favorite line is when...

Jesse Ventura?

No, no.

When they walk into the woods and the old boy keeps making noise, he goes, you fuck with with this motherfucker. Like, he tell him, like, if you keep making noise, I'm going to bleed you.
I'm going to, like, leave you out here. I forget what the word is he used, but he was like, you telling everybody where the fuck we at.
By the way, you moving, talking, tripping, sliding. Yeah, there's something about that, the idea that a sporting alien would come down and hunt people that's uniquely scary

so many iconic scenes in there too oh yeah the um the joint where the uh with a native dude is like fuck it yeah yeah yeah take off my shit i'm gonna cut my chest yeah that that's a fucking dope one the uh the one where they where uh where arnold and uh apollo creed where they do this right here. So this

was wild. That's a meme now.

Yeah. Right? But just their arms.

Uh-huh. And

a lot of people don't even know that it's

from Predator. They just see

it as like, that's the meme.

Right, right, right.

Yeah, I've tried to show that to one of my nephews. He was like,

oh, that's the

cooperation meme or whatever the fuck they call it. They started getting silly with Aliens vs.
Predator. Remember that? They were doing that for a while.
There it is. I'm here for that.
Oh, that's an arm wrestling senior predator. Yeah, that's it.
They're like, this is how two badasses say hello. Yeah, they have arm wrestling in the air.
It's so stupid. It's so this movie was the dialogue is crazy that's back when carl weathers was jacked yeah okay okay okay you didn't know when to quit huh you didn't know when to quit huh what is this fucking tie business oh come on forget about my time the way they acted back then was like it was a different form of language.
It's like it seems so fake.

If that was like a director today, like the same director that did Nosferatu,

he'd be like, cut, cut.

What are we doing?

Yeah.

Are you guys really meeting each other for the first time,

or is this like a play?

Come on.

Convince me.

Bro, the run that Arnold had.

Oh, he did a gang of great movies.

Like just action. Like he's the action star.
Conan, bro. that Arnold had.
Oh, he did a gang of great movies. Like, just action.

Like, he's the action star.

Conan, bro.

He did Conan.

Conan the Barbarian.

You know who was the best Conan, though?

What?

Jason Momoa.

What?

Jason Momoa did a terrible Conan movie, but he was the best Conan.

Because he was the only Conan that looked like Conan really looked.

Like, Conan was, like, super muscular, but he wasn't a bodybuilder.

He looked like a killer. He looked like a UFC fighter.
He looked like Yuri Prohaska would be a good Conan like that kind of build like a big strong guy but not a bodybuilder and also it's like the film was more stylistically appropriate to like the Conan lore what do you mean how Conan looked in the books oh I didn't I didn't know Conan was books. Oh, dude, I'm a super Conan nerd.
Super nerd. So there was like a comic book before? Yeah, well, it was a book.
Robert E. Howard, he wrote books about Conan the Conqueror.
And he created this whole, like, world of Samaria, where he's from, and this whole lore of this one usurper who rises and kills everybody and that's conan and he he slays dragons and monsters and demons and you know i think he comes back from the dead at one point in time like it's the he's the greatest warrior of all time you know what conan was for me as a kid it was my first like john wick right right oh. Oh, this dude going to fuck everything up.

That's how the books were.

Yeah.

The books were incredible.

The books were written by a guy who lived with his mom and committed suicide.

So the dude was like, he was getting, he wanted, his life sucked.

He was super depressed.

And he got thrill out of imagining him being Conan the Barbarian and conquering lands and having sex with all these beautiful women and killing sorcerers. They came up after he died? No, they were.
This is like in the 19. The 30s is when he wrote it.
Yeah, it's a long time ago. He wrote these books and then they turned them into comic books in the 1960s? When did they start making Conan comic books? So then they had the comic books, and then they had illustrated books.
And then I think that was the first Conan movie, was Arnold. I think he was the first Conan movie.
And there's been a few attempts since then,

but no one has really captured the books stylistically

except for the Jason Momoa movie.

But the movie just wasn't that good.

You need a real Robert Eggers,

the guy who did this Nosferatu movie.

That's his name, right?

It's Robert Eggers, right? The guy who did the Nosferatu movie? That's his name, right? It's Robert Eggers, right? The guy who did the Nosferatu movie? That guy. Like, that guy did a Conan movie? It would be sick.
But it has to be, like, a realistic movie. It has to be a movie of this realistic warrior encountering these crazy things.
It can't be, like, cartoonish. It can't be like, I just have to believe this dumb shit too much suspension of disbelief it's got to be like a wild movie based the northman oh the northman was amazing did you see that yeah i saw that that's exactly what i'm talking about this kind of movie is exactly like what conan would have to be that movie's fucking great that's's like one of the best Viking movies.
It's not the best one ever. It's actually dark as hell.
Really good movie. Oh, there's no good guys in that movie.
That movie's crazy and probably representative of real, the real life of Vikings, the way they really lived because they were fucking ruthless. That movie's great, but it's also got likenatural in it.
There's a lot of cool shit in that movie. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean, they believed in a lot of Supernatural shit. If that guy directed Conan, holy shit.
Then you would get to see like the real books because the Robert E. Howard books were great.
So the same guy that did Nosferatu did Northman? Yes. Oh, okay.
Yes. Bro, it's good.
It's fucking good.

Nosferatu's one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. It's great.

And it's so

beautiful. The way it's shot

is so beautiful. There's a

scene when he's walking up to the castle.

It's the creepiest setup of

all time. It's so

good. I don't want to ruin it.

It's so good.

If you like those kind of movies, I love those of movies i grew up on monster movies i grew up on like you know that's why i have that american werewolf in london out there i grew up on all of that i'm here for monsters action revenge that's my that's my kind of movies nosferatu cinematographer promises robert egger's were unlike anything done before. Wow.
A medieval werewolf movie. Oh, boy.
And the primary candidate has never been used in a film. What does that mean? Maybe the guy they want to lead it.
Oh, yeah. The actor, the...
Perfect. The subject, like the character of the...
Oh. Wait a minute.
So it's a new character. He did The Lighthouse 2? Yeah.
Wow lighthouse 2? yeah that shit was weird and the witch wow that guy's done some killer fucking movies I'm excited about this werewolf movie I've been saying that forever someone needs to make another good werewolf movie like that Benicio del Toro one specific medieval image or tale of werewolfery that's being close to their chest so it's like a story that hasn't been made into a movie yet.

Yeah, but medieval. So like candlelight,

spooky, it's going to be awesome. Remember the Jack Nicholson werewolf one? What was that called?

Oh yeah, that was terrible. With

Michelle Pfeiffer.

That was so stupid. They were like,

it looked just like a person.

My family went and saw that

and I went and saw a different movie.

It was the first time that, because it was like a thing we did. We'd go to the movies like every other week.
But my father, my stepdad, didn't give a fuck about no age limit. And they're like, you're going to see what we see.
And this was the first time I was like, I don't want to see that shit. And I still ended up going in there after because my movie was over before this.
I think I went and saw Short Circuit 2 or something.

Look, he's going and chasing after this deer.

Ah, I'm a wolf.

Look, he just looks like a regular guy.

It's so dopey.

It's so silly.

Like, look at this.

They decided to make a horror movie that wasn't that scary.

And he moves like the $6 million man.

Look, slow motion jump, obviously a stuntman.

And he's going to tackle this deer.

And I'm supposed to believe this.

I'm supposed to believe that this dude who just looks like a dude can run faster than a fucking deer.

Look at him, he's running.

It's so dumb.

He's flying through the air.

Like, how does becoming a human that's part wolf make you this fast when you look exactly the same? He's on a tree. He flies and he grabs the deer.
This is so stupid. It's so stupid.
The owl's freaking out. This is crazy.
This is crazy. Did you ever see the Benicio Del Toro one? There's one good scene.
One good scene when the doctors are examining him, and they're trying to tell him that he's out of his fucking mind, and the doctor's speaking in one of those medical theaters like they used to do in the 1800s, and he's explaining that this person has delusions, and they think they're going to be be a wolf and so we're going to show him by having him tied to this chair while the moon turns full and we're going to like cure him of whatever the fuck is wrong with his brain so they have him in this thing give me some volume on this and once mr. Talbot has witnessed that the full moon holds no sway over him that he he remains a perfectly ordinary human being.
He will have taken his first small step down the long road to mental recovery. I can just feel everybody in this room about to die.
Everybody's going to die. It's great.
Oh, this is awesome. This young man, that able to accept it, created a fantastical truth that his father is to blame.
His father's a werewolf. Skip ahead or...
Yeah, skip ahead a little bit. You moron.

Tonight I will kill all of you. I will kill all of you.
Yes, well, as you can see, my country is a disease of the mind. Existing somewhere in the deep places.
Kill me. Kill me.
Jesus is always a jerk.

To him, it's safe. I don't want to mind existing in somewhere in the deep...
Kill me! ...this is the forest dirt.

To him, it seems very real.

The subject...

...the castle...

...the stone falls...

...and using the...

...the sense of ice...

...you know?

Get the fuck out of there, man.

Who more you need to see? I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm not going to die.
I'm not going to die. I'm not going to die.

Doctor? Doctor? Doctor? Doctor? Doctor? Doctor? Oh, my God. It seems to be locked, sir.

Open this door! it's a great fucking scene see my only problem great fucking scene my only problem with it is it's not a scary enough wolf it's not everything else is great it's not like American Werewolf in London it's too much like the wolf man which is what it was kind of based on, like an updated version of The Wolfman. It's more like— The same guy who did that makeup, by the way, did The American Werewolf in London.
That was Rick Baker. It was like the Teen Wolf Wolf.
It was, right? It was Rick Baker that did that, right? Yeah, Rick Baker. So the thing is, though, it was not CGI.
And that's what they were trying to achieve because there's a difference between the way it looks. When it's a dude with a mask on it looks more realistic like it doesn't take you out of it and there's something about cgi that even if the wolf looks good it takes you out of it like the american werewolf in london you didn't get to see shit for like a long time like it was deep into that movie you saw flashes of the wolf until it was in piccadilly square and started like killing people remember that i spent a long time since've seen that movie.
The guy turns into a werewolf in the movie theater. He goes to a dirty movie theater.
So he's in this dirty movie theater and they're playing porno films. And he's talking to his dead friend who's telling him he's got to kill himself.
He's going to become a wolf and kill people. And his friend is like rotting.
It's hilarious. It's very funny.
And he turns into the wolf in the movie theater, kills everybody, and then bursts out onto the street and starts killing people in traffic. I do remember there's a scene with a subway scene, right? Yes.
There's a subway scene where there's a businessman. He's trying to get away, and he sees it creeping up on him.
That's a good scene, too, because you barely see the wolf. You see this guy running, and you know that it's coming after him.
You see the terrified look on his face. And and at the end of the scene you see the wolf enter into the frame at the bottom of the escalator where this guy's like completely exhausted and sliding down this escalator bro you know the scariest movie i've seen recently well i guess maybe scary ain't the right word but it was the sequel to x the sequel to x and i'm forgetting the name of it yeah not, not Malcolm X, but like, it's the same, but the same girl played

in both movies. You know what I'm talking about?

It's called,

she was like a, okay, yeah, so the sequel to this movie.

So what is X?

It's about, like,

It's a slasher film? Yeah, it's a slasher film.

Yeah. And the,

but the sequel to it, because I never

saw that when I saw this. Okay.
I still haven't seen X so X Maxine with two X's three X's no no that's not it I thought I had to screen up no that's not it it's got that same girl in it. Who's the star of this? Pearl.

That's what I mean.

So Pearl was a prequel.

So Pearl came out. I saw Pearl before.

I haven't seen any of the rest of these.

This shit is... I liked it.

And she's a serial killer?

She's insane.

But it's like, you kind of know she's the monster

the whole time, but she doesn't become monstrous. it's kind of the same thing and she's cute yeah she's cute she's adorable um at first glance i want to be special dancing up on the screen while the pretty girl's in the picture.

I will not let you leave this farm again.

I'm worried there may be something real wrong with me.

Rumor has it they only take one gal per town. We're looking for someone with X factor.
Has to be me. How about a film nobody else has seen? Is it legal? Will be eventually.
I know what I've done. The other business I can accuse is like.
Terrible, awful, murderous things. Help me! I want to be loved from as many people as possible.
But truth is I'm not really a good person. Jesus Christ.
Yeah, bro. You want to talk about like a...
This looks psychotic. Like this bitch is just slipping into insanity further and deeper and deeper and deeper.
I just don't think you should show this to America right now. You know what I'm saying? Like after Luigi, after people celebrated Luigi, we don't want to like glorify people that just go on killing rampages it wasn't a rampage in fact that you know that's the thing that's the thing i respect more is that like the people that like shoot up a place it's like it's like if you mad at somebody go after them why you killing people that got to do with your beef right at least At least he was specific.
He didn't build a building. That's another one that's

been memory hold. The New Orleans guy

just ran over all those people. What New Orleans guy?

You didn't hear about this? No.

This was how long ago, Jamie?

That's the thing. New Year's Eve, they were

within eight hours of each other.

So this New Orleans guy turns down

Bourbon Street and just runs people over.

Ran over like 200 people.

Bunch of people got fucked up.

Bunch of people died.

How many people died?

I think at least 14.

I think like 200 people were injured.

Wow.

14 people dead.

Or more.

He was in a Cybertruck too?

Yeah.

And he was also.

Not a Cybertruck.

No, he was.

Yeah, sorry.

Not a Cybertruck.

But he was also one of the guys from Fort Bragg.

Like we were talking about it yesterday with Metzger. Metzger will get you to believe in conspiracies.
Metzger will take you down some rabbit holes. He just hit you with so many, though.
So many in a row. I can't even get it.
That's like his entertainment. Oh, you didn't know? His entertainment.
Oh, yeah. It's his life.
And I'm on the complete opposite end of the spectrum. Exactly.
I like to hear people that's into it talk about it, but I'm never going to go look it up. Yeah, well, luckily, you know, Kurt gets it.
If you're like, dude, I can't right now. He'll stop.
If you say, I can't, I can't do this right now. I got to go on stage in five minutes.
I can't hear how many people Hillary Clinton killed. I think he probably is abreast at every conspiracy theory.
Right, but he believes a bunch of them that are kooky. He and I have had some conversations about ones.
I'm like, why do you believe that? That one doesn't make any sense. Because the primary belief is that the official story is bullshit.
A hundred percent. Which is probably true a lot of the time.
But where you run into logical trouble is just because they lying don't mean that

the first alternative that people give you

is the truth.

Right, like some kooky YouTube video.

That's got it broken down.

They don't want you to know.

Did you see this shit?

You know Godfrey?

The comic?

Yeah.

I forget the name of the scientist,

but he had a scientist come on and debate Lord Jamar. Lord Jamar is a flat earther.
And it didn't go well. Of course it didn't.
That doesn't make any sense. Was that that Professor Dave guy? Yeah, Professor Dave.
Yeah, Professor Dave's done quite a few of those. He's doing the world a nice favor.
Yeah, but it's like, but bro, imagine that being your whole life. It's just opposition.
Well, to what? To bad science. It's to people getting led down a bad road and believing something that's uniquely preposterous.
The earth is flat. You know Christopher Hitchens, right? Sure.
He made his whole career debating Christians and Muslims. would like go to their churches and debate their leaders.

And somebody asked him one time like, hey, if you could snap your fingers and make all

religion just go away, like would you do that?

And he was like, honestly, no, because I just like arguing with them too much.

Or something to that effect.

Those weren't his exact words, but it was like, I think you got to be a special kind of person to be like no i want all the smoke i want to i want to argue directly with people that i don't think well christopher hitches was uniquely brilliant and he was so good at forming arguments and sentences and he was his grasp of the language was so expert he was a great speaker amazing speaker. So that he would have these conversations with these people and they'd be like woefully underprepared.
They just they couldn't handle. He also has an incredible amount of knowledge when it comes to religion, whether it's Christianity or Islam.
And and he'll call out everything that has ever happened. It's terrible that every one of them was done, and he knows that information at the tip of his fingers at any given time.
I grew up religious, and he was the one that made me be like, oh. He makes some very, very, very compelling logical arguments.
There's also the problem with religion is that there's so many of them, too, and they're so different, and they all think that they have the right one. that's a real problem but i think the desire for religion seems to be a part of the structure of our thinking it's like one of those things that reoccurs everywhere there's groups of people there's a desire for meaning and then there's a connection to a higher power that we all seem to agree is not just likely but you you feel its presence every now and then.
But also it's like we're puzzle solving creatures. It's like the need to have an answer to the puzzles.
Oh, yeah. And also to have a daddy.
We always want someone who is above us, whether it's the president or the mayor or your father, whoever it is. You want some person who's looking out for you and it is watching over everything and has a plan for all of them.
Wait until your God gets home, young man. Yeah.
God is watching, you jerk off. Oh, man.
That fucked me up for a little while when I was like, you know. I was watching all the time? Because we used to go when I was little.
There was a church that was also a school. They were a Christian school, but on Sunday they used the school buses to go pick up kids, just like school, but it was for church.
And we got sent to that. It wasn't even the church my grandmother went to.
She just sent us to this one. What is better, an overly religious childhood or a childhood filled with crime and violence clearly overly religious right that's better because you can learn your way out of some stupid shit that they talked you into when you were young depending on what the religion is but crime and violence gets you killed someone else gets killed you go to jail it's not good like it's definitely better in terms of like what is more compatible with society to grow up very religious with very strict rules and then maybe as you get older you sort of recognize that i mean doesn't it depend on which religion it does it definitely does yeah it definitely does i mean you have some religions where you get a gang of wives woo you get a that sounds like more trouble than it's worth yes Well, that's the reason why the Mormons moved to Mexico They moved to mix what you mean you don't know about that then out of Utah no more listen when Mitch What's his name? the fucking guy ran for president Oh Mitt Romney Mitt Romney that's why I was fucking up.
Mitt Romney. Mitt Romney's dad was born in Mexico.
So his dad couldn't be president. But Mitt was born in America.
Mitt Romney's family was Mormon. And they moved to Mexico in the 1800s because of religious persecution.
And part of that was polygamy. They made polygamy illegal.
So these guys, well, fuck it. This is like the 1800s.
They're like, Mexico ain't no different than America in the 1800s. Before cars, everyone's on a horse.
You got a house, whatever. Same shit.
Let's go to Mexico. So they went to Mexico.
And to this day, they have giant Mormon compounds in Mexico. And then recently, there was a situation.
Like, they're armed to protect themselves against the cartel. It's like wild shit goes down.
And one of, I think it was like a family was killed. I think it might've been an accident that the cartel mistook them for someone else or someone did.
And there was like this real problem. I don't know what happened.
I don't remember how the story went down, but I remember it a big international story and then everybody was like wait what's going on there's giant camps of armed Mormons in Mexico you know they don't fuck around like why did they why did they move to Mexico and that's why they moved to Mexico because they have religious freedom they don't fuck right and they know religiously at the forefront I bet you the Mormons got an app. Oh, they probably have an app.
Yeah. But, like, that's the story, right? That they were killed by the cartel.
I think it was a woman and her child was killed by the cartel. Six children.
Three women. Six children.
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Attack on a group of Mormon families in Mexico. So nine women.
Scroll back up. Nine women and children from a Mormon community in Mexico Were killed while traveling in the three-car caravan South of the U.S.-Mexico border on Monday Three women and six children All with dual U.S.-Mexican citizenship Were killed in the attack Security Minister Alfonso Durazo Said in a news conference Tuesday Here's what we know about the attack The victims were all shot while in the vehicles while driving.
Investigators believe the three vehicles traveling between the Mexican states of Sonora and Chihuahua were ambushed by criminal groups Monday, Mexican authorities said. Women and children between 14 years old and 10 months were massacred, burned alive, LeBaron said.
Mothers were screaming for the fire to stop. They were driving together for safety reasons said Kendrick Lee Miller whose sister-in-law was killed in the attack the family was supposed to go to Miller's wedding next week in Lemora she said Wow how'd she know they was screaming she was she there I don't know man I don't think everybody died five children who were hospitalized in Tucson will survive while Jessup whose son married Donna married Donna Langford's daughter, told CNN— Willie Jessup, excuse me— Three of the children have very serious injuries, but two others could be discharged soon.
And they weren't connected to that dope shit? They got to be. Well, I don't know.
I don't know. They said it was a mistake of mistaken identity.
But they always say that. Because this is why that don't make sense to me.
Oh, no, no, no. They don't say that.

It says it's not clear

if the attacks were specifically targeted

or if the family

was a case of mistaken identity.

You don't accidentally

shoot the wrong caravan.

I mean, what's the chances

that another caravan

look just like yours?

Well, here's what it says.

It said Castaneda said

there were longstanding tensions

between the families

and the cartels.

He said one of the women killed

was an activist

and there were frictions

over water rights.

Oh, Jesus Christ.

Whew.

Scary, dog.

I mean, it's scary for whoever lived down there.

Yeah.

I feel pretty safe where I'm at.

Yeah, but imagine living in a place

that's controlled by the cartel.

Like, you know, the government has its faults in the United States, but it's a superior system. But hasn't the Mexican government, like, started cracking down on the cartel? I don't know.
They did that shit somewhere. I mean, I'm pretty sure the dude was a dictator, but he just locked everybody up.
Venezuela. It's Venezuela? Yeah, they literally imprisoned all the gang members.
They just locked every single—even if you was associated.

They made these giant prisons, and they just filled the prisons up with gang members, and the crime just stopped.

But that was the immediate effect.

Is that still the case now?

I don't know.

It's a good question.

Is that what they're going to do forever?

They're just going to keep these guys in that cage for the rest of their lives?

That's expensive.

It is expensive, but is it less expensive than letting them wreak havoc and ruin your entire community i don't know it's a very totalitarian thing that depends on who you give a fuck about well it's also depends on like how many of those people were set up how many people weren't actually in a gang how many people were like maybe somebody doesn't like you i mean probably a little bit of that going on in that type of situation where it's like a drastic change yeah and they rounding up hundreds of thousands of people, there's going to be a couple of revenge joints slipped in there. Oh, damn.
Sorry, Jorge. I accidentally put...
Yeah. Crazy.
Oh, El Salvador. It's not Venezuela.
It's El Salvador. Look at that.
Oh, my God. They just said, fuck it.
We're just going to take crime down to zero. So is this life in prison? Well, you know what, man? I mean, is this better? It seems like it's better than having the criminals run society and kill everybody.
I mean, but at least, like, get them on some bicycles, provide free power or something. I don't know.
And what have they done, you know? But also, if you grow up in that community, what are you going to do? Like, if you up and your whole family's involved in the gangs, like what do you do? Like you're literally guilty by birth. You know, if you grow up in those communities and that's all they've been doing forever, what do you do? What do you do? You know, how do you sustain that too? Right.
I guess if you have enough money because now you don't have to fight crime anymore. So now everybody's locked up.
It's dark. Or it's just going to be new criminals.
Yeah. What could fix the world, Brian Simpson? Is it going to be technology? Is it going to be mushrooms? You know my stance.
We're done. Nothing's going to fix this shit, bro.
We're cooked. We're past the point of no return.
But why do you think that, though? Because people can exist in small groups together in harmony. Why can't they exist together in large groups in harmony? Because I think people are less intelligent in large groups.
The larger the group, the dumber the average IQ, I bet, in terms of how people behave. Well, I think also in large groups, you don't have to think as much because things are set up for you.
And it's just because, you know how I know we're doomed? Okay. Online gaming.
When you go play a team, I'm playing this Marvel rival shit everybody playing now, but it's like try to get matched up randomly with five other people and get everybody to cooperate. And how often you come across people that are just completely selfish to the point where like they'll lose on purpose.
They take the penalty for losing too but just to ruin your day. Well that's just randoms that you're meeting online though.
Right but I mean... You got to cultivate.
You see how people communicate and obviously gaming is a certain demographic but I just mean... Incels.
It just reminds me, no it's not incels. It's regular people out there that just act like assholes when they're anonymous.
Because they can. So people will do selfish shit? You see these game shows where it's like, you know it's that whole, what's it called? The Prisoner's Dilemma or whatever.
Oh yeah. We can all win or I can win.
And how often do you see people just go, fuck all of y'all. And they probably encourage you to do it because it makes you a good TV.
And I know, look, there's good people out there. I meet extraordinary people all the time now, especially now that I live here.
I meet people all the time that's like, wow, you, like if it was more people like you, we would be good. But it's so little people like you.
Right. But how many people like that do you know now? You know a lot, right? You know a lot more.
Not enough. Yeah, but you know a lot more.
And the key is just to try to limit your associations with people who aren't exceptional. Try to be exceptional, first of all, to attract exceptional people, and then kind of like encourage other, you got to surround yourself with people that are cool.
Like surround yourself with people that are interesting. Sur people that are exceptional it gives you like energy in this life it gives you like motivation yeah but then you gotta make new friends i'm not i'm not with that either some friends are worth making some new friends are worth making but i know what you're saying i know what you're saying it's hard i can make a new i'm very emotionally unavailable so i just need friends that don't need that you know what i mean saying.
It's hard. I can make a new friend.
I'm very emotionally unavailable. So I just need friends that don't need that.
You know what I mean? That's interesting you say that because you're very friendly. I don't know why you think you're emotionally unavailable.
I think you just don't like to be bothered by nonsense that people could fix on their own. There you go.
I'm very easily irritated. Yeah, but it's not.
You're not emotionally unavailable. Like when we talk about stuff, like everybody talks about stuff in the green room, you're like one of the most like honest people.
But maybe emotionally unavailable is not the right word, but I'm very I feel very much burdened by unexpected obligations. Yeah.
So like if you hit me with some last minute shit or you're like or you or you constantly need me because I'll be there for you. But if you're constantly needing stuff and it's good to the other side.
Exactly.

But you got to realize that's a transactional situation.

I know.

That's a bad situation.

That's not a situation.

You haven't surrounded yourself with people that are like autonomous.

Yeah.

There's a lot of people that aren't.

They like need friends for everything they do and they can't make decisions.

They don't get their shit together.

Oh, you know what?

I love being by myself.

I love going to a restaurant alone. I love company too, but I go to the movies alone.
I like being alone. I like shopping alone.
Well, you have a balance. You spend enough time in front of thousands of people.
Because you know what I don't like? I don't like variables. It's like the more people that come, the more shit can switch up.
That's true. That's true.
Oh,. And also you get like all these social dynamics at play when there's a bunch of people together.
Like how many times are we eating dinner? What would you say is the perfect amount of people to bring to dinner? It depends. There was this one time, I don't want to say the time, but where there was a bunch of us and a bunch of other people.
And it really helped that there was a bunch of us because we all huddled up together. Oh, right, right yeah oh and don't forget vegas was great it was a lot of people at that table then oh yeah but we knew all those people right right right you know those all people were like close friends it was a it was a good time it was it wasn't like there was no social dynamics at play you know when we're all hanging out it fun.
There's no, like, one person's trying to get to the top.

Yeah, comics are different. But I say

but just, but six is

for me. Six is a good number.
If I hear that it's gonna

be more than six, now it's like

it's gonna be separate conversations

and it's gonna be. And what if Bob can't drink?

What if Bob starts drinking and gets real loud?

Right, man, you want

vegan options.

Someone's non-gluten. Gluten-free, please.
Do you have a gluten-free menu? Yeah, but yeah, yeah. I just don't like being in big groups.
Right. I know what you mean.
I get it. I get it.
It's like when you're a group of people and then one person has a friend that they tell you is cool. Don't worry, Bob's cool.

Like, bro, my middle name could be, who are going to be there?

Right.

You invite me to something?

Because even now, like Derek and them, they'll invite me to stuff even though they know I'm not coming.

Right.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Do we come to the, nah, I'm good. But that's also like a reflection on your sense of humor because you're always finding things that are stupid in everything.

Your act is essentially,

let me tell you about some stupid shit.

I know.

It's a gift of the curse.

Oh, it's a gift.

That's why I say,

ignorance is bliss.

When you notice too much,

you can't be happy.

You can't possibly be happy.

Or you got to distract yourself with,

you can be happy for a second when you're on a drug or having a good time. Right.
But eventually you go, how did that fucking helicopter crash into a plane? Yeah. You think about all these different variables.
You know, I used to say that to my students when they would fight because a lot of them that were really smart, I would notice they would be much more nervous. What did you teach? Than the dumb kids.
Martial arts. What do you mean? Of course it's martial arts, but my dumb ass, my mind went to like you teaching in the classroom like a professor.
Oh, and they would fight? No. No, no, no.
I mean, I'd take them to tournaments. So I had students that I would take to tournaments.
And the really smart ones would be the most scared. And I would have to tell them, it's because you're smart.
The reason why you're scared is because you're aware of all the variables and you know you're vulnerable. Whereas dumb people don't think that.
They're overconfident and they're not aware of all the variables. But you can overcome this.
I'd be like, I did it too. I have the same feeling.
I don't want to do it. It's stupid.
Why am I doing this? Why am I risking my health? Why am I risking my safety? You have all those thoughts that are gonna go in your head But you're gonna learn something about yourself from doing this and you're smart And that's why you're nervous and you should be nervous because it'll help you it'll help you move faster I used to use custom Otto's expression the custom on all this great thing. They told Tyson.
He said, fear is like a fire. It could cook your food if you can control it, or it could burn your house down.
And that's what it's like. It's like that, but the intelligent people are the ones that are aware of it.
The intelligent people are the ones that oftentimes struggle the most with overcoming anxiety to compete because they're aware of how fucking dangerous this actually is. They're not blissfully unaware like a moron who's walking into a cage fight not knowing they might get knocked the fuck out.
You know, not going to happen to me, bro. There's a lot of those not going to happen to me, bro, guys.
Yeah. But you can still be world champion and be that person.
Oh, well, if you're gifted. Right.
If you're gifted and if you're genetically gifted, you know, and if you're driven and you really work hard and you enjoy it, yeah, you could get pretty far. You're not going to talk well.
You're not going to speak well in like 20 years. At the end.
Yeah. At the end, it's going to be rough.
Because it's amazing to me. That's another thing.
We talk about legacy and stuff like that. But MMA-wise, Jon Jones is like the equivalent to Floyd Mayweather in terms of like little damage he's taking over.
Yes, there was a few fights where they were real rough. The Dominic Reyes fight was real rough.
He got hit a bunch of times in that fight. The first Gustafson fight.
He got caught a few times by Lyoto Machida before he put him to sleep. Lyoto was catching him.
He hit him with one big left hand. Rashad Evans clipped him with a big right hand.
But for the most part, John is the very best at utilizing distance and also having a strategy. He said that was the hardest he ever got hit, Rashad Evans.
Rashad Evans clipped him with a big right hand but for the most part John is the very best at utilizing distance and also having a strategy he said that was the hardest he ever got hit Rashad yeah Rashad knocked Chuck Liddell out cold that punch remember yeah out cold one shot that the first time Chuck Liddell got knocked out no Chuck Liddell had gotten stopped by Rampage and Pride okay and then Chuck Liddell Iell, I mean, he'd been stopped a few times. I mean, like, after his rise.
No, because Rampage stopped him during his rise. Like, Rampage stopped him when he was a champ, or maybe he wasn't the champ.
He was, like, the best guy. It was like Tito was the champ for a little before Chuck fought Tito, and everybody knew that chuck was going to beat tito it was one of those things where like this is a bad matchup because chuck is a really good wrestler and just a ferocious striker ferocious and so aggressive and just nasty power and just would throw himself into the wars throw himself he had an iron chin so you just fuck you we just And really skillful too, man.
Like underrated skills, but just a desire for the firefight that was like nobody else. But Rampage beat him.
Rampage stopped him in Pride. So they had an exchange where they were going to send UFC fighters over to Pride to fight the best Pride guys.
And Chuck was one of the best UFC guys. And Rampage stopped him.
And Chuck fought Alistair Overeem. And Alistair Overeem was doing really well.
But Alistair... Damn.
Chuck stopped Alistair. Just that this, though.
Rampage used to have that much. Oh, bro, this was when Chuck was Chuck, right? This was not, like, past his prime Chuck.
This was, like, in his prime Chuck. But Rampage was fucking ferocious.
He was so good. And Pride had knees to the head on the ground, all this shit.
And Rampage eventually, I believe he stopped him with like body shots on the ground, if I remember correctly. I remember he just beat him up and then they stopped the fight.
I think he just got on top of him at one point in time. It was a grueling fucking fight, though,

but

I think this is like the end of it right here.

He was just beating him down, and eventually

they stopped the fight. So these punches to the

face, and then just dig into the body.

Look how tiny that referee is.

I know.

And then it looks like he got on top of him.

Yeah, he got full mount, and then they stopped the

fight.

Yeah. That was Rampage in his prime.
Rampage in his prime was motherfucker. I saw a video of somebody talking shit to him.
Like one of the young fighters now talking shit to him. Oh, it was Kevin Holland.
Yeah, Kevin Holland and him had some sort of a disagreement. Yeah.
So they don't get that. He don't get like like, legend status? Like, well, you got to let it slide? I don't know.
Young guys are, you know how they are. Because that's like if Randy Couture say something out of pocket.
Right, right, right. And you're a fighter.
Like, you got to let it slide. He's a legend.
Rampage is a legend. You know, it's like there's a lot of guys.
You know, when you talk about BJ Penn, talk about him with respect. Yeah, because also also like it doesn't it doesn't look good.
No you arguing with it Especially like I'll fight you right now like that kind of shit like right that's not a good look Yeah, especially the guy like paved the way like rampage was this was like when rampage fought Chuck. What year was that? Was that like 2003? What year was that? I'm gonna guess I'm gonna guess oh five was Oh, wait.
This was in the UFC, though. That pride fight was different.
Yeah. Well, Rampage knocked Chuck out.
It was like 2005, probably. In the UFC, too.
Rampage caught Chuck with a right hook. 2003, the video was.
2003. I don't know.
So then they fought again in 2007. Is that what happened? Show that oneage knocked out van der la silva he lost to van der la silva twice though brutally in in the u in uh pride the one of the fights was fucking brutal brutal brutal knockout he got kneed in the face and went through the ropes unconscious so this this is Chuck and Rampage in the UFC.

This is when Rampage won the title.

And, you know, Chuck had already fought him once and got stopped,

so he was wary.

And this was way past his pride, Chuck, right?

No, he was in his prime, man.

He was still in his prime.

He was the champion.

Chuck was the champion at this point in time.

But Rampage was fucking good, man. He was fucking good.
And just so dangerous. Boom.
And I was saying he's the funniest guy in MMA. He's very funny.
I actually interviewed him on, I did that UFC show for a while. I forget what it's called.
But it was, we hung out together. We rolled, we did jiu-jitsu, went and got something to eat.

But he's very funny, dude.

He used to have this crazy monster truck.

There it is.

Boom.

That's how he won the title. Yeah, it was awesome.
Chuck's confused, but, you know, that's what happens. You get knocked out.
You don't know what the fuck happened. You think you're fine.
Really? Yeah, you don't know what happened. You get shut off.
You're like, what happened? Like, sometimes guys get shut off, and then they dive for's legs and they think they're still fighting. They take the referee down.
I seen the dude swinging at the ref. Oh, yeah.
They don't know what's happening. I mean, a lot of these guys are on like full fight or flight after they get tagged.
They're just in – it's just chaos. They don't know what they're seeing.
Referees get hit all the time. Yeah, that's what I was like.
Look how tiny – you see how tiny that motherfucker was? Like, what you gonna do? What are you stopping in there?

Right.

How are you gonna get rampage off of Chuck Liddell?

I should like Herb Dean

like dive at motherfuckers

and move them.

Well,

you got,

Herb's a big guy.

You know,

that's what you want.

Or a strong person.

Like,

you have to have

like physical strength.

He's gonna ask you politely.

Well,

imagine like Francis

is fighting.

Francis fighting.

How are you gonna get

Francis off somebody?

Right.

Like,

how are you even gonna move him? And it's like, there's no way that like Herb Dean's stronger than Francis Ngann. Francis fights.
How are you going to get Francis off somebody? Right. Like how are you even going to move him?

And it's like there's no way that like Herb

Dean's stronger than Francis Ngannou. Impossible.

But it's like but you got to be strong enough

that they feel you. Right.
They snap them at it.

Yeah you can't be 125 pounds

refereeing that fight. I thought that was a woman

at first. Mark Goddard's good too.
He's a big

dude. Mark Goddard? Yeah.
He's great

for those big fights. I don't think I've ever seen

him in person. Oh you've seen Mark.
I met Herb Dean. He's one of the best referees the best referees.
I mean, there's quite a few of them That are really really good, but I always say the gold standard turb He's the gold standard and big John when he was doing it. He was the gold standard.
He stopped. Yeah He does a commentary now John does commentary Well, he's doing it for Bellator, but I think Bellator is now no longer.
So he also has a podcast with Josh Thompson that's really good.

Who's that one referee that Dana White hated?

Steve Mazzagotti.

Yeah.

What happened to him?

Does he steal the referee?

I don't know.

I haven't seen him in a while.

I think I saw him at a kickboxing event many years later.

He says, like, that dude is never going to work again.

Like, that's a wild shit to say and mean it.

Yeah.

People make mistakes, you know.

Yeah. But what was his fuck up, though? He fucked he he fucked up bad he fucked up a few of them there's a few of those guys that fucked up a few too many fights and then they just you know you just can't after a while we need someone reliable when you got a guy like mark goddard who almost never fucks everybody is gonna fuck up they have the second hardest job the first hardest job the fighter.
Second hardest job is the referee. Third hardest job is probably the judge.
My job's easy. And the ref, they can only see from one angle.
We miss shit all the time and we have monitors. At least the refs have, or excuse me, the judges have monitors now.
They didn't used to have monitors. In the early days, we had a fight to get them monitors.
We're like, we should be able to show them stuff in the replay that the crowd is seeing. Because sometimes you think a guy got knocked down, but he didn't.
He just tripped. And it looks like he got knocked down, but really he just got punched on the shoulder and they just fell down.
That happened in that fight with Islam Makachev and Moikano. Moikano caught him with a right hand.
It looked like he hit him. We thought he dropped him, but really what happened is he kind of hit him in the shoulder and they tripped legs together and Islam fell down.
And then Islam got, we thought he was hurt. So if you were judging that, I mean, Islam finished him in the first round, he subbed him in the first round.
So it didn't matter. But if you saw that fight and if that went to the distance and you said, oh, my God, he's hurting him.
He's rocking him on the feet. You would maybe score that round from Moicano.
When if you saw the replay, oh, he didn't rock him. He just slipped.
So if you don't have a monitor. Can they hear you all too? No, they shouldn't be Maybe bias.
Yeah, maybe we frame it in a way that's different than the way they think it The whole reason to have three different point of views is to have three different expert perspectives You don't want them hearing what me and DC are saying right right right you want them like Watching the fight because if we're on someone's nuts, you know And then this guy's like oh he definitely is winning, you know And you know, and maybe the people at home are like, fuck you, the other guy was winning. Like there's a few of those fights.
Yeah, some were, it's been a while. No, it hasn't since there was like a really questionable one.
You know what's an interesting one, not a questionable one, but an interesting one is Marab versus Umar. So Marab, Dwaavishwili, and Umar Nurmagomedov, they go to the distance, five-round fight.

Marab winds up winning the decision.

Those are in that same card.

Yeah.

Amazing fight.

Amazing fight.

Probably the best 135-pound title fight in the history of the sport.

It was incredible.

It was so well-matched.

They went back and forth.

Umar apparently broke his hand in the first round, was still throwing it for the whole fight.

He wound up taking Marab down, and nobody expected that.

He got Marab's back.

Yeah, I remember that. He won the first two rounds.

And the question is the third round. And so I watched it a couple of times, and me and John Anik and Daniel Cormier have been going back and forth with texts about this.
I was like, man, that third round is so close. It's so close.
I could see judges giving it to Umar. He landed more strikes on the feet.
He did get one takedown. Merab got a couple takedowns, but he didn't do much with the takedown.
But Daniel had a really good point that at the end of it, Merab's was accelerating and it looked like Umar was starting to get tired. See, I tuned in at that point.
I started that pay-per-view at that third round. So I hadn't seen the previous two rounds.
But at the end of the third round, Umar has Merab's back. He's behind him, and he's controlling him against the cage.
And he had wound up taking Merab down at one point in time. So it's like, he landed a lot of strikes on the feet.
Like, probably did more actual damage. But Merab did take him down more, Marab was pushing the pace and Marab did also land shots like it was close It's the third round.
That's the real close one because I gave the first two rounds to Umar and then you get into the third You're like, ooh, that's the one that one's close because the fourth and the fifth were clearly Marab was coming on strong Mar Merab was like, it was astonishing, his endurance. Astonishing.
His fucking cardiovascular system's off the charts. It was a good-ass fight.
His cardio is fucking insanity. It's insanity.
It's like Michael Chandler. But I would be very happy to see that fight again.
Very happy. I never see Michael Chandler get tired.
Incredible. Remember his last fight when he lost? With Oliveira, yeah.
Yeah, but he's sitting there standing up with a motherfucker on his back in the last round. Yeah.
Like, I never see him get tired. No, he's an animal.
Well, he trains, like, nobody. I mean, his strength and conditioning routines, you can watch them online.
They're fucking crazy. Cam Haynes went and trained with him once.
He said, the guy's a maniac. But that's his weapon.
Like. To have that kind of cardio, that kind of discipline, to have that kind of cardio, that work ethic.
It's also the work ethic, man. You have to have that work ethic.
He's been doing it for a long time. And to still have that work ethic.
That's what I mean. Even the best people in the world, they get tired of it.
Yeah, he's not tired of it, man. He's definitely not tired of it.
He's still exciting. I mean, Oliveira's one of the best in the world.
He had Oliveira hurt in that third round. He had him hurt.
Like, he had some moments in that third round where you're like, holy shit. Like, this is a real fight.
And Oliveira is as good as it gets. He's one of the best submission artists in the history of the sport.
And he couldn't get him. Got him in the first fight though.
First fight he KO'd him, remember? He hit him with that clean left hook. I don't remember.
Chandler had him real hurt in the first round. Rocked on his back fighting him off in the first round and then they start the second round Chandler moves straight to him and Oliveira just pieces him up.
Oh yeah I do remember. Yeah do remember that.
He hit him with a clean left hook.

It was clean.

I think I was there.

You might have been there.

Yeah, man.

Man, we had some good-ass fights this year.

And now Crawford's about to fight.

Yes, he's going to fight Canelo.

Oh, man.

I just hope he's big enough.

I hope he's big enough to keep that dude off him because Canelo hits so hard, man. That's one dude that, like, I believe all the shit he be talking.
Crawford? Yeah. Oh, he's good.
He don't just be saying shit. They try to say that, like, Errol Spence was damaged because of what Crawford did to him because he was damaged from the car accident.
I'm like, maybe. Or maybe Crawford would have done that three years ago.
I think he's that good. He's just so skillful.
He's so slick. And he's also the best guy in the sport at switch hitting.
He'll go from southpaw to orthodox and be just as good and trip you up. You think he's going to start southpaw, he starts orthodox.
You prepare for orthodox, he's fighting southpaw. He feels like he's got you timed better orthodox, he'll it up.
He's being super accurate. Oh.
He just knows so much about boxing, about where to be and what's coming. He's a strategist that's also entertaining.
Yeah. You know what I mean? He's an artist.
Remember like a young B-hop? Yeah. It was just so sharp and made it look almost entertaining.
You know what I mean? Roy Jones in his prime. It was art.
You were watching art. He's piecing up people.
It was an art form. All right, Brian Simpson.
