#2266 - Brian Simpson

Speaker 0 Joe Rogan podcast, check it out.

Speaker 1 The Joe Rogan experience. Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day.

Speaker 1 Little thing you say.

Speaker 1 Like, imagine having to be that measured in everything you say all the time. Just stick to the talking.
That's my whole life.

Speaker 1 That's stressful. Yeah, it's super stressful.
Especially if you're a little intoxicated. You know, you get a couple of whiskeys in you and you start talking shit.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Like, people, they forgave a lot of Biden's stumbles until they were like, what the fuck? You know, a lot of people like in 2020 were like, there's no way. There's no way he's going to do it.

Speaker 1 He was too old to run when it was 2016.

Speaker 1 He's kind of always been known for the gaffes.

Speaker 1 Because I remember when Obama was picked him, that was the number one concern was like, but he'd be sometimes he be saying shit.

Speaker 1 Didn't Obama always he was famously quoted as Joe as a don't worry, Joe will find a way to fuck things up.

Speaker 1 I never heard that though. Supposedly, well, it's hard to know what the quote was, but supposedly.
But

Speaker 1 he got out of all of it. I mean,

Speaker 1 well, that's because the machine was behind him, right? So he gets into office, and you saw that Mike Johnson guy, the Speaker of the House, he said that he had talked to him.

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 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, print it up, he brings it in.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 And so it's...

Speaker 1 That's a machine.

Speaker 1 So 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.

Speaker 1 And that's not how it's supposed to be. It's not supposed to be that way.
Well, isn't it like that with every president? I don't know.

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 So they've already found thousands of criminals that had snuck in here and had committed multiple crimes while they were here. And the Biden administration had left them here.

Speaker 1 And they allowed them to stay in these sanctuary cities and sanctuary states.

Speaker 1 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 I.

Speaker 1 And exporting them in planes. The Biden administration could have done this too.
Yeah, but I think

Speaker 1 every president that gets in there,

Speaker 1 they do little shit different than the other side.

Speaker 1 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 of votes.

Speaker 1 Trump is talking about getting rid of income tax and replacing it with tariffs.

Speaker 1 I asked 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.

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 But the companies would just charge us bigger prices, wouldn't they? Well, here's the thing.

Speaker 1 Could they if we had American manufacturing, that can make the same products? No. So

Speaker 1 the whole reason why... They can't make the same products for the same product.

Speaker 1 But if you have other countries charge tariffs, and I think we've charged tariffs in the past, and it's an interesting thing. It's like you make a trade agreement.
It's essentially a trade agreement.

Speaker 1 And his position has always been that one side of the trade agreement was unbalanced, and America does a stupid job in negotiating its trade agreements. So he wants tariffs and everything.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 He 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%.

Speaker 1 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.
If you bring in the tariffs, you have to make them so high that...

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 That's one of the craziest things about America we can't make a phone we can't even make a phone 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

Speaker 1 is that it might be assembled here I don't I think they still have to get some 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 like I said the problem with American manufacturing is you can't do it for as cheap as you have to pay people.

Speaker 1 No,

Speaker 1 the problem is, first of all, we're addicted to buying new shit all the time.

Speaker 1 I have a bunch of phone lines, and one of my phone lines, I have an iPhone 11.

Speaker 1 It's like five years old. I don't notice when I'm using it.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Like 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?

Speaker 1 But every year they keep pushing us to get a new phone.

Speaker 1 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 like slaves in China making it.

Speaker 1 Like he makes this like the only phone. They need to bring back the Nokia phones.
Remember those brick phones? Yes. Well, don't do that.
Industration. Make it dope.
Make it a dope phone.

Speaker 1 But, you know.

Speaker 1 I don't know, man.

Speaker 1 I think those days are long gone.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 And if all of our technology is getting made in another country that's essentially a national security issue see you know you know what I realize is like why because sometimes you know politics comes up in the green room and I just

Speaker 1 I always separate myself from the conversation because I realize what everybody has regardless of what size of the issues they on is they y'all have hope

Speaker 1 I'm cynical I'm cynical than a motherfucker. I'm like, this shit was over.
This shit bit.

Speaker 1 You know, it's like, for me, I'm like,

Speaker 1 I see the asteroid coming. Yeah.
And I'm like, ain't nothing going to be able to to do about that. Fitness isn't just about what you do in the gym.
It's also about your nutrition.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 That's a $76 value gift for free if you go to drinkag1.com slash Joe Rogan. Seriously, get on this.

Speaker 1 I'm interested to see. Look, if Robert F.
Kennedy Jr.

Speaker 1 gets approved, I'm interested to see.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but you know, the problem with that is we live in a society where, like, none of that shit's gonna happen unless they make more money than what we're already doing.

Speaker 1 That's not necessarily true because you can motivate people. There's a real power in free motivation.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 You're like, God, well, I just fucking need to get to the gym. I just need something.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 We're going to start bringing it to schools and kids to get people healthier.

Speaker 1 We're going to bring in organic food and start feeding kids when you feed them in public schools and you have free lunches.

Speaker 1 Yeah, she did. She got shut shut down.
Yeah, exactly. They shut her right the fuck down.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. They like, damn,

Speaker 1 you're going to fucking kill our profits. Fuck this healthy shit.

Speaker 1 Because that's the other thing. But what's different now than what was happening back then is we're so divided.

Speaker 1 If somebody in the government suggested anything was the best, the healthiest thing, at least half the country would be like, I'm not fucking with it for that very reason. Yep.

Speaker 1 That's so right. Yeah, it's like they attached Obama to Obamacare, even though it was not a bad thing.

Speaker 1 And if Trump was literally like, hey, every American, Trump and Jackson is the best exercise, people are like, you ain't doing no Trump Jacks.

Speaker 1 That's your president's exercise. So it's like, we're so divided, nothing's going to stick.

Speaker 1 I also think that the problem with health care and all these things where people are getting paid,

Speaker 1 you're dealing with a bunch of different games that are being played inside a game that has a function. And that function is healthcare.
Like, it provides healthcare in a kind of shifty, shitty way.

Speaker 1 But the game it's playing is make the most money. That's the game it's playing.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 So, you 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 They want a fucking yacht, bro.

Speaker 1 I'm talking about how much we're divided, but it's weird. That's the one thing they couldn't divide people on.

Speaker 1 Like, I remember like after that one, after the TO got popped, like on CNN and MSBC and Fox, the narrative was like, how sh dare people be excited?

Speaker 1 Because at first they tried to do what they would do with everything and they say, oh,

Speaker 1 look at these liberals fucking laughing to death. And then they realize, like, oh, it's the insurance industry is fucked over everybody.
Everybody. They don't give a fuck who you voted for.

Speaker 1 They'll fuck you. That might be the one.
Healthcare might be the one thing that we can come to like a bipartisan agreement on that health insurance and insurance companies in general.

Speaker 1 They're just captivated by what a corporation is. A corporation has a responsibility to its shareholders to make the most money.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 If Trump actually fixed healthcare,

Speaker 1 he would go down as one of the greatest presidents. He would be like, it would be,

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Well, it used to be that there was no social media.

Speaker 1 So if you wanted to make a big change, the government could gaslight you on T V in these press conferences and bring out experts and they could gaslight you and tell you what to do.

Speaker 1 And that was all the information you had. That doesn't work anymore.
It doesn't work anymore.

Speaker 1 So this is one of the reasons why this is the best time ever to kind of revamp healthcare and revamp like the way people think about about what is healthy what is healthy but how are you gonna revamp it in the way that still makes money you well it doesn't have to first of all first of all you're gonna lose money the country's gonna lose money it's like who's gonna 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 gonna spend more money that's going to go to pharmaceutical drug companies, but it doesn't have to go there.

Speaker 1 We can't commit to giving it to them every year just because they 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 It's the most important foundation for any healthy human being. It doesn't matter what kind of exercise.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 That would fucking cure 70% of the problems we have in this country with healthcare. Because people would be healthy.
And so then you wouldn't be as susceptible to getting sick.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 So that's how you make money out of it. You make money out of it because everybody makes more money.

Speaker 1 You make more money if you're healthy. You make more money if you're active.

Speaker 1 If you're in the bed all the time because you have back surgery constantly or if you've got this and that and the other, you've got a lot of interruptions in your life.

Speaker 1 They're going to hiccup your career. They're going to hiccup whatever you're trying to accomplish in your life if you're dealing with being sick all the time.

Speaker 1 So you think if people were healthier, they would deny less people?

Speaker 1 I think if people were healthier, first of all, you would need way less health care. First, that's the number one thing.

Speaker 1 If people were fit and they took care of themselves, there's a giant part of, if you looked at all of the healthcare issues that we have in this country, there's a giant chunk of it that's connected to diet.

Speaker 1 It's connected to the standard American diet. It's connected to eating too much calories, garbage food, obesity.

Speaker 1 All that is, it's possible to shift that in a different direction. You just have to change the way people eat.

Speaker 1 And that way you would see other people getting results and then you would want those results. If you hear RFK Jr.

Speaker 1 on TV trying 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.

Speaker 1 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, there's less losers.

Speaker 1 If there's less losers, the country makes more money. The whole GDP goes up.
Everybody,

Speaker 1 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 want like...

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 Why not try to fucking gaslight people and tell you got to wear a mask in your car or you're going to die? Instead of that gaslighting, how about pump them up?

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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

Speaker 1 eats nothing but McDonald's. Drinks Diet Coke.

Speaker 1 Sharp as a tax, 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.

Speaker 1 Did you see him play tennis with Serena Williams? Nah. He took his shoes off.
He's playing tennis with Serena Williams. I mean, playing, playing? Not playing like as good as she can play.

Speaker 1 She's not going to embarrass him.

Speaker 1 He's follying back and forth. But I mean, he's playing.
Is he running? He plays tennis, man. He can play tennis.

Speaker 1 Like, the guy plays tennis. Like, he's.
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 hit the ball.
It looks like he's doing it the right way.

Speaker 1 He doesn't look like me. If I was doing it, I'd be a fucking spazz.
I don't know how to play tennis. Completely lost.
Yeah. Yeah, but let's see it.
It's because it's. It was in 2015.
Oh, it was? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Oh, god damn it. I got lied to by the reels.

Speaker 1 I thought it just happened. No, no, no.

Speaker 1 2015.

Speaker 1 Trevor

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Both of his shots are out of bounds.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he's old.

Speaker 1 I mean, but he is doing better than I would do. Oh, way better than me.

Speaker 1 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,

Speaker 1 they can't go to a gym. It's just, they don't, they need a purpose or they need something that occupies their brain so they play golf or they play tennis or they play games.

Speaker 1 They do, they play a little pickup 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.

Speaker 1 I mean, most of the people I know do shit like that. Yeah, so he's active.
Pick up basketball or. But that dude just eats cheeseburgers and shit all day long.

Speaker 1 Yeah. It's like, I don't know what to say.
But he probably also has zero stress.

Speaker 1 Well, he has a way of letting shit roll off his back. I mean, he had to have some stress when that guy shot at him.

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 And then his ear healed up like Wolverine. Bro.
And he held up pretty quick. You can see a little mark on it.

Speaker 1 There's a little tiny, if you look at it, like when he's right there. I go, let me see it.
And he leaned in. You could kind of see.
You know what he's talking about?

Speaker 1 The ear is 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?

Speaker 1 What happened to that guy? I don't even know what you're talking about. You don't know that story? Nah, I don't follow.
This episode is brought to you by Uber Eats.

And wing formations, well, those can only mean buffalo wings, as if they're ever not in play.

Speaker 1 Even the goalposts start looking suspiciously like french fries. It's almost like football is sending the message to eat more food.

Speaker 1 The good news, Uber Eats makes those cravings easy to satisfy with game day deals all season long, from wings and pizza to chips and drinks, even last-minute grocery runs.

This episode is brought to you by the farmer's dog.

Speaker 1 I think we can all agree that eating highly processed food for every meal isn't optimal. So why is processed food the status quo for dog food? Because that's what kibble is, an ultra-processed food.

Speaker 1 But a healthy alternative exists, the farmer's dog. They make fresh food for dogs.
And what does it look like?

Speaker 1 Real meat and vegetables that are gently cooked to retain vital nutrients and help avoid any of the bad stuff that comes with ultra-processing. And it's not just random ingredients thrown together.

Speaker 1 Their food is formulated by on-staff board-certified vet nutritionists. These people are experts on dog nutrition and they're all in on fresh food.
The farmer's dog also does something unique.

Speaker 1 They portion out the food to your dog's nutritional needs. This ensures that you don't overfeed them, making weight management easy.

Speaker 1 Research shows that dogs kept at a healthy weight can live up to two and a half years longer. Head to thefarmersdog.com/slash Rogan to get 50% off your first box plus free shipping.

Speaker 1 This offer is for new customers only. Cleaning the political stuff.
Well, this isn't even political. This is a weird story.
It's a guy who was like, now, has it been confirmed that that's him?

Speaker 1 I'm going to look.

Speaker 1 Let's pull up the story because I don't want to do it any misjustice. But this was

Speaker 1 after the election, correct? Yes, definitely. It was real recent.
New Year's Day. Okay, New Year's Day.

Speaker 1 That's how crazy the news cycle is. Like,

Speaker 1 you forget what day things happen. Like, was was that a year ago? No, it was last week.
Oh, all right.

Speaker 1 There's like something constantly bombarding you all the time. So, this dude,

Speaker 1 yeah, what is the story behind him? He was a special forces guy, right? And he was in, I think he was in a television show with Tim Kennedy.

Speaker 1 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

Speaker 1 with a large handgun, a desert eagle.

Speaker 1 He rented it, okay. Large handgun and blew up this thing.
It says self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Speaker 1 The whole thing's weird, man.

Speaker 1 Nobody could imagine him doing this.

Speaker 1 Everybody's saying it doesn't make sense.

Speaker 1 Why would he, this guy knew how to make bombs? Why would he make a shitty bomb like that that doesn't even blow blow up the building? It just blows him up in the car.

Speaker 1 And why would he do it in a cyber truck, 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?

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah. My arrow exploded.
That thing's solid steel. So why would you blow yourself up in a solid? You would get a convertible and fuck everybody up, right?

Speaker 1 If you were going to blow up yourself in a car and you wanted to do the most damage, you'd have a car that you'd want to blow apart. Those Teslas contained the entire explosion.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I mean,

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 They probably found it like barely smoldering outside of the car. Look, it's like, remember when they found the terrorists' passports?

Speaker 1 The planes went into the fucking World Trade Center, blew up in front of everybody's face, just a gigantic, enormous pile of fire.

Speaker 1 And yet, this dude's passport just barely singed on the outside like a Bug's bunny cartoon, falls to the ground.

Speaker 1 That's 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.

Speaker 1 Now I remember. God, I forgot Sean Ryan was involved in that.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 So he was saying some stuff in there about drones. And

Speaker 1 what was he saying? Let's put up what he said. You know what I realized, man.
Shout out to Sean Ryan.

Speaker 1 It said, in case I do not make it to my decision point or onto the

Speaker 1 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 am not under duress or hostile influence or control.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Put a tab on that, Jamie.

Speaker 1 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 U.S.

Speaker 1 only we and China have this capability. Our open location for this activity in the box is below.

Speaker 1 China has been launching them from the Atlantic from submarines for years, but this activity recently has picked up.

Speaker 1 As of now, it is just a show of force, and they are using it similar to how they use the balloon for

Speaker 1 SIGINT, SIGINT, how do you say that? 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.

Speaker 1 The so 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.

Speaker 1 They basically have an unlimited payload capacity and can park it over the White House if they wanted to. It's checkmate.
U.S.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 I think that's vehicle something.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 I have knowledge of this program and also of war crimes that were covered up during airstrikes in the

Speaker 1 Nimruz province, Afghanistan in 2019 by the admin, DOD, DEA, and CIA. I conducted targeting for these strikes over 125 buildings.
65 were struck because of CIV, CAS

Speaker 1 that killed hundreds of civilians in a single day. US FORA continued strikes after spotting civilians on initial ISR.
It was supposed to take six minutes and scramble all aircraft to CENTCOM.

Speaker 1 The UN basically called these war crimes, but the administration made them disappear. I was part of that cover-up with U.S.
FORA and Agent

Speaker 1 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

Speaker 1 General Miller's 10 staff

Speaker 1 on this as well as the response to Bala Murgab,

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 So he gave his LinkedIn for vetting,

Speaker 1 active duty, you know, he get his profile,

Speaker 1 the whole deal. Now, the problem is that was not his first car.
So Google what his first car was.

Speaker 1 But

Speaker 1 why lie about that? Because somebody might not have known.

Speaker 1 Like if you ask, like, 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 like, how many people know what my first car was?

Speaker 1 Right, right. Right? So if you're a dude and you're hanging hanging out with other dudes, like, I don't know what you're talking about.
Oh, so you're suggesting someone else wrote that. Yes.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 I mean, if they get the car wrong, yeah. Yeah, you're right.
I mean, that's a hell of a thing. That's a hell of a detail to get wrong.
Here,

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 You know? And then my next car after that was a 1968 Oldsmobile. So 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.

Speaker 1 Yeah, of course. Bitch, if your first car was a 2007 Mustang,

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 You're not going to be confused. You're not going to be confused as to what was your first car.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 You can't believe you could just drive anywhere you want. You go to your friend's house.
You're like, dude, I can drive.

Speaker 1 It's one of the wildest experiences. I remember clearly just learning to drive

Speaker 1 and how wild it was. You could just drive.
We're so used to it. We're basically riding around in amusement park rides.
You would pay a lot of money to ride in. Like your car? That Audi?

Speaker 1 Bro, that's like

Speaker 1 you're in a super capable sports sedan from 2024.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's crazy. Yeah, those things are crazy.

Speaker 1 This world that we live in today is so fun.

Speaker 1 You would remember your first car. I'm having a hard time.

Speaker 1 This is one of the strangest searches I've had.

Speaker 1 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

Speaker 1 a few days after. I've done Google search and Twitter search.
Twitter search didn't show anything, and I hit latest, and it's still not showing me anything recent.

Speaker 1 Damn, somebody wrote a whole article about how that was not his 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?

Speaker 1 I don't know that it would have a, I'm on a website. Like I'm on Twitter

Speaker 1 isn't giving me anything

Speaker 1 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,

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Like searching for his name in car was, I don't get anything in the last three weeks. That's weird that no one on Twitter is talking about it.

Speaker 1 Let me imagine this.

Speaker 1 Is it possible that if there was a story like this and you were trying to cover up discrepancies and you didn't 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're not going to be able to do it?

Speaker 1 I would argue, yes, you could, but that's, I'm not seeing that. I'm seeing the opposite.
I'm seeing no stories other than like

Speaker 1 within the 48 hours of it happening, which means that's I find that odd. That is weird.

Speaker 1 Like, I'll go to page two. Bro, this is how checked out I am.
I wouldn't even know this happened. News isn't shown.
It's like four weeks ago, four weeks ago. But how about just write?

Speaker 1 Will you do me a favor and just write Matthew Liversberger? How do you say it? Lives. Liversberger.
Liversburger's car was not. First car.
Just say first car.

Speaker 1 No, but let me ask you: just say first car was not a 2006 Ford Mustang.

Speaker 1 That's too specific. Yeah, that's too specific.
But just try it.

Speaker 1 Was not

Speaker 1 first car was was not a 2006 Ford Mustang.

Speaker 1 I mean, it's I'm getting the same thing. That's sort of

Speaker 1 the best way to do a search.

Speaker 1 The other thing was

Speaker 1 that the gun that he used is a crazy gun. That is a crazy gun to shoot yourself in the car.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 oh no man that shit's highly advanced man i get tweets from two hours the cyber truck might have shot him shit so they're gang 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 well when i type in car

Speaker 1 now it's you get january 16th yeah i'm on latest that's weird

Speaker 1 you typed first car i didn't i just typed in the word car i would have shouldn't matter tell me the whole

Speaker 1 car i already it i'm just i already i know i i know i reduced it so that it was less less specific.

Speaker 1 But what's the rest of the conspiracy? Incorrect after the first car discrepancies. Click on that.
Show more.

Speaker 1 So,

Speaker 1 including incorrect reference for the first car Liversberger owned. According to public records, his first car was not a 2006 Ford, contrary to what is mentioned in the email.

Speaker 1 This has led to skepticism on whether the email is real or fabricated. That's it.

Speaker 1 According to public records, that was not his first car.

Speaker 1 Show us the public records.

Speaker 1 Let's see.

Speaker 1 It was a BMW. 2008

Speaker 1 One Series BMW.

Speaker 1 I would add, 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.

Speaker 1 What about that 1998 is a Fuller Mustang? But it's 2006, there's a big difference.

Speaker 1 See right here, why is Sean Rying 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.

Speaker 1 So he had a 98 Ford Mustang. Why is the BMW circled?

Speaker 1 You see, the thing is, whenever weird shit happened, the first people to talk would be full of shit.

Speaker 1 They the worst people. So it looks like he didn't have.

Speaker 1 Scroll down back again. So he had a 98 Mustang,

Speaker 1 not a 2007. That was his first car.
Then he had a 2008 BMW.

Speaker 1 And then he had a Jeep.

Speaker 1 He never had a 2006 Mustang. You can see right when he got divorced because he he got a Mustang again.
Yeah, I'm back, baby.

Speaker 1 2018. 2018, you got a Ford Mustang GT.
That's that midlife crisis. You got the GT too.
Greg Fitzsimmons got it. He got it with the Eco Boost.
He was telling me how much he loves it.

Speaker 1 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, Eco Boost? Oh, it's a great engine.
Don't get me wrong.

Speaker 1 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 Eco Boost is just more fuel efficient.
It doesn't have the same horsepower.

Speaker 1 And the GT has the Coyote V8 that has that rumble.

Speaker 1 Makes you feel alive. You know, when you're

Speaker 1 ever been at a red light with a guy and a Mustang and they take off and you hear that sound, especially if he's got a manual.

Speaker 1 My homie,

Speaker 1 when I was in the service,

Speaker 1 he had this fucking blue Corvette. I forget what year it was, but it was older shit.
But he was obsessed with this motherfucking car, and and it was so fucking loud. Yeah.

Speaker 1 It was definitely like a

Speaker 1 70-something.

Speaker 1 You know what I mean? 60-something. It was like an old one.
Oh, the cool ones. Yeah, but it was like no modern technology in this motherfucker.
It was loud as shit.

Speaker 1 Corvettes are the only cars that looked good into the 70s. All the other American cars turned to dog shit.
They turned to, they became boxes. They became fuel-efficient boxes.

Speaker 1 But Corvettes always had that. And then eventually they fucked that up too.
And they made Corvettes like flat and

Speaker 1 looked like a wedge. They looked so stupid for a while, but now they're back.
Now they're better. They're better looking now, I think.
Like Tony's.

Speaker 1 I think these new ones, the 2025s and 26s, they're better than any other car ever. Any American car.
Like the Corvette Z R1, it's the greatest American car that's ever been built. Really, sounds.

Speaker 1 It's 1,100 horsepower. I don't know shit about it.
Oh, Brian Timpson, you ready to look at this? You got one? No, no, no, I don't have one. But this is

Speaker 1 Google this. This is literally the greatest American car ever produced.
by a long short

Speaker 1 z r1 it's got a giant wing on the back of it it's literally a race car that you can buy it has 1100 horsepower if you or excuse me 1064 horsepower

Speaker 1 um

Speaker 1 and this is not even tuned right guys are going to be able to do things with these things you're going to get these hennessy guys is this new yeah you're going to get these hennesy guys that are going to like jack up the boost and make them even faster these things are insanely fast insanely fast, and insanely capable.

Speaker 1 I don't know if they've got Nureberg ring 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 $190,000.

Speaker 1 I think they're coming to Austin soon. Bro, this car is fucking insane.
It has carbon fiber wheels. It's insane.

Speaker 1 And it's beautiful. Like, look at that thing.

Speaker 1 I mean, it's just a piece of art and engineering, you know, together.

Speaker 1 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

Speaker 1 i don't know how we get on the subject

Speaker 1 oh we were talking about how you remember your you would remember oh you remember your first car fuck imagine your first car is this thing

Speaker 1 your first car should be a miata someone should everybody should drive a stick shift miata but you can't buy your because like like some people get crazy and they buy their kids shit like that

Speaker 1 Well, you know, it's like motorcycles. You know, 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.

Speaker 1 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

Speaker 1 how many of my friends or family that I've had to talk out of getting a motorcycle.

Speaker 1 It's like that midlife crisis part where it's like, hey, bro, you've never rode a motorcycle. Like you 40, you can't start now.

Speaker 1 I got real close and then the universe gave me a a whole bunch of signs.

Speaker 1 Because even the best riders in the world

Speaker 1 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 this.

Speaker 1 You ever see the one when the dude is flying down a country road, he hits a deer? No.

Speaker 1 Oh,

Speaker 1 this dude is like on one of those race bikes.

Speaker 1 Flying through the air. Bro, I saw one the other day where it was the other way around.

Speaker 1 It was like, 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, but only one girl got hit.
Oh, God. But it was like.

Speaker 1 Oh, God. Oh, man.

Speaker 1 Vehicles. Yeah, but he can't.

Speaker 1 So you didn't see this thing today.

Speaker 1 A Black Hawk helicopter collided with an American Airlines flight

Speaker 1 over D.C. Yeah.
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.

Speaker 1 The helicopter collides right with the plane. It explodes in the sky.
Watch this.

Speaker 1 Boom. They explode and collide in the sky.
And then this is the plane. Oh, man.

Speaker 1 It's crazy. And it's only, I mean,

Speaker 1 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

Speaker 1 kill a bunch more people.

Speaker 1 Man. I don't even know how that happens.
I've never heard of something like that happening.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 That's so crazy that a military helicopter collides with an American Airlines jet.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 I don't think it was some kind of malfunction. It probably was bad communication.
Somebody got wrong information. Yeah, maybe.

Speaker 1 Unless we find out that someone was on that jet.

Speaker 1 Like someone was on the ground. That's important was on that jet.
The 90 drive scientist.

Speaker 1 Some fucking dude is at the forefront of quantum computing.

Speaker 1 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,

Speaker 1 because

Speaker 1 it's so hard to take

Speaker 1 everything serious because it's like

Speaker 1 we live in such a ridiculous time.

Speaker 1 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 a ridiculous, we don't trust anything. Right.
I don't.

Speaker 1 So it's like that could have that could be somebody because my next thought shouldn't be I wonder if somebody important was on that jet. The other thought was

Speaker 1 that you can control those helicopters remotely. You don't have to have pilots.
No, that's bullshit. Yeah.
You can. You can fly a helicopter remotely.
Yes.

Speaker 1 They use artificial intelligence now not just to fly helicopters, but also to fly jets.

Speaker 1 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 dog fights 100% of the time.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but they're going to fuck some. I mean, listen, because all I have to judge myself.

Speaker 1 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 Chat GBT, and they be fucking shit up.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but this is consumer-grade.

Speaker 1 This is consumer-grade shit that didn't exist a while while ago.

Speaker 1 You want some coffee? No, I'm good. And exists now.

Speaker 1 So here it is. Blackhawk remote control demos have been performed by Sikorsky Aircraft and Lockheed Martin to demonstrate the ability to remotely control a Blackhawk helicopter.

Speaker 1 These demos have shown the potential for autonomous flight and the ability to perform missions without a pilot.

Speaker 1 Okay, but here's the other thing, though. 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,

Speaker 1 how do they not have sensors that detect where the planes are? How is that even possible?

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 We have sensors. We put them on jets.
Why wouldn't we put sensors on the helicopter?

Speaker 1 They probably do have them. So, why didn't it work? Wow, we're going to find out pretty soon.
Will we even know?

Speaker 1 But everybody's dead, right? So, how do you know when everybody's dead? They think the pilots are dead of the helicopter.

Speaker 1 I believe there was, was there supposed to be two people in the helicopter?

Speaker 1 Four, three, three people in the helicopter, and was it like 60 or 70 people?

Speaker 1 60 people in the plane are dead,

Speaker 1 and only 60 people on a flight on the flight? Small flight, so it was a

Speaker 1 Mostly a figure skating team? Figure skating? Fuck, man. Oh, yeah.
Because that's the thing I was saying. It would have to be a group of people.
Because if they just wanted to take out one person,

Speaker 1 why waste a helicopter?

Speaker 1 There's better ways to kill one person. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Well, also, you want the worst press possible. Kill a plane filled with young figure skaters.

Speaker 1 The sweetest, most delicate people. Like twirling around on the ice.
I mean, we think of them, like, they're almost like superhumans. You know, we don't even want to think about it.

Speaker 1 That's why, like, when that Tanya Harding, Nancy Kerrigan shit went down, nobody even wanted to believe it's possible. The figure skating community's got thugs.

Speaker 1 Remember that? Yeah.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 People get vicious about shit, man. They get vicious.
But here's the other thing.

Speaker 1 It might just be incompetence. Most likely.
likely, it's

Speaker 1 like somebody was just fucked up.

Speaker 1 Most likely, someone made a mistake, most likely.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 And if we do find out, here's the 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?

Speaker 1 Oh, like this was a test run. What if this is like proof of concept? See, I think a better conspiracy would be if we found out that it was like

Speaker 1 Delta was behind it.

Speaker 1 You know what I mean? Delta's trying to take out American.

Speaker 1 But like Alaska was like, yo, we're going to fucking ruin their reputation.

Speaker 1 But if you were a foreign country and you wanted to demonstrate that you have technical superiority over people, how would you do it? Well,

Speaker 1 first of all, you'd lay the groundwork, right? This is one thing they definitely did, right? Where's that lighter, bro? Go up there? Thank you, sir.

Speaker 1 You lay the groundwork, and the groundwork is sell them all the shit they need.

Speaker 1 Sell them all the shit they need. And some of the shit you sell them, put a little back door in there.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 They were the most sophisticated phones. They were coming out of China.
It was so good. It was great.

Speaker 1 I've taught this before. Forgive me if you heard it before, but I tried to buy a Porsche Design Huawei phone.
It was an amazing phone. It was like so much more advanced than iPhones.

Speaker 1 It had a bigger battery. It had like a hundred megapixel camera.
And then right before it was coming out, they put the ban.

Speaker 1 And then there's all these national security concerns, and Huawei is like spying on Americans.

Speaker 1 And something about their routers and their systems, they figured out there's like backdoor possibilities that were engineered into these things.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 wouldn't it make sense that if they're a part of it, they're integrated into it physically, and we know they've put back doors on things.

Speaker 1 Wouldn't you put back doors on the stuff that you're putting into jets? Wouldn't you pack...

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 Do you think we make the chips?

Speaker 1 Do you think we make...

Speaker 1 What do we make? Do we make the hard drives?

Speaker 1 are you sure i don't know i don't know do we make the processors it just seems like it would be a smart thing to do it would be a very smart thing to do but do we make the swap does the do we make the processors or

Speaker 1 have there been installed

Speaker 1 some sort of electronical back door into almost everything that we have

Speaker 1 Almost everything we have. If anything could be taken over.
I think that it probably is the case, but it's definitely our government doing it.

Speaker 1 You know the Michael Hastings story, right? No. you don't know that story oh

Speaker 1 this was a 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 um

Speaker 1 gets 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 he's embedded with these troops.

Speaker 1 And they get loose. They get loose.
They start saying things. They start talking shit about Obama.
The general talks shit about Obama. And then this guy puts all this in the story.

Speaker 1 And he puts all this in the story. And they thought he was like one of their homies.
We're just hanging out. We're just boys.
He's not going to write about that.

Speaker 1 Mean by that guy wrote about all that shit. You get these 20-year-old kids.
They're deployed at war. And of course they're going to talk shit.
They're kids.

Speaker 1 You get the generals hanging out with these guys. They're going to talk shit.
They're a bunch of men out there doing war. So he has to step down.

Speaker 1 And he, the general, is one of the most beloved generals in the military. And then this guy is terrified for his life and has opened the reporter.
The reporter's terrified for his life

Speaker 1 because he's been threatened.

Speaker 1 So then he dies on,

Speaker 1 was it Laurel Canyon? La Brea. La Brea.

Speaker 1 He dies on La Brea.

Speaker 1 Melrose and Highland, sorry. Oh, Melrose and Highland?

Speaker 1 I'm watching the video right now, but that's.

Speaker 1 Either way.

Speaker 1 Either way, point is, he's in L.A.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 He just hits the gas, and boom, runs into a tree and explodes.

Speaker 1 Had said, you know,

Speaker 1 if anything happens, I didn't kill myself.

Speaker 1 And then the question was, back then, so was this 2005?

Speaker 1 2013. So back then, the question was: do they have the technology to take over vehicles?

Speaker 1 And if you ask people that are honest, the answer is yes.

Speaker 1 Yeah, they do. There's a way to do it.
It's not impossible. It's not like, you know, breathing underwater.

Speaker 1 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

Speaker 1 it can be done. That's why.

Speaker 1 people

Speaker 1 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

Speaker 1 but it's like i ain't getting one of them motherfuckers yeah get the fuck out of here no way but but because if they wanted to kill you i mean we saw that in the the old the the new total recall they did that where it's like all the cars drive themselves and but when they want to find you they fucking stop your car pull you over.

Speaker 1 You know

Speaker 1 everybody's terrified about that, you know, and

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Does that Corvette have OnStar? So

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 But the other side of that is we could also just shut it off for other reasons. Right.
We could shut it off because we don't like you. And we just decided to shut your car off.
Don't worry.

Speaker 1 It says right here that that's illegal. You could have the wrong political opinion, depending on who's in power.

Speaker 1 You know, you want to give these people power because you don't want the other side to win.

Speaker 1 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 shut your fucking car off.

Speaker 1 Stolen C7 Corvette disabled remotely by police using OnStar. Yeah.
They just shut them off. See?

Speaker 1 That's a happy moment. Look at that.

Speaker 1 The sad moment is you got a trunk load of meth and you're making a run for it. They just shut your car off.
Right. But

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 They always get busted going like 16 miles an hour over the speed limit. What does it say, Jamie? Mandatory.
Mandatory.

Speaker 1 It 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.

Speaker 1 But he always saying,

Speaker 1 never commit a misdemeanor while you're committing a felony.

Speaker 1 Ooh. You know, it's like if you're moving cocaine, don't break the speed limit.
Put on your seatbelt. Yeah.

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 They're literal drug runners. Like what they're doing could get them locked up for the rest of their fucking life and they're probably going to make $2,000 for doing this.

Speaker 1 Yeah, and I have some cool stories. Yeah, I mean, who who's going to make the money? They're probably doing it for somebody else, right? They're probably moving it for somebody.

Speaker 1 And they have to sell it, and then 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.

Speaker 1 And then they do it a few times, you get a little cocky. I mean, someone's bringing all this shit in.
Like, how's it getting in?

Speaker 1 How many car, if you're a cop and you're just out there looking around all the time, how many of these moving trucks have fentanyl in them? I think the CIA bringing most of it.

Speaker 1 A bit of it. I mean, for sure.
Because who stops selling drugs when they get away with it? Nobody. Right.
Why would they stop doing that? Right.

Speaker 1 Now they just know how to not get caught. Well, maybe they probably work with people.

Speaker 1 Yeah, 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.

Speaker 1 You'd have to take away too much freedom from people. They wouldn't stand for it, and they'd vote you at all.
I'm talking about just stop it from coming in the country.

Speaker 1 Yes, you could stop it from coming in the country, but you're not going to stop a demand.

Speaker 1 The real problem is, just like the prohibition of alcohol, and I'm not comparing meth with alcohol, because I think most people...

Speaker 1 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 who had to stop drinking.

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 I rarely see anybody get drunk. But if you're out there doing meth, there's a chance you're not engaging in like

Speaker 1 responsible meth use.

Speaker 1 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 micro-dosing bad. They're going hard.

Speaker 1 I think meth gets 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.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I mean, you're definitely just not thinking. You're just doing.
But what is Adderall? Adderall is super close to meth. Super close.

Speaker 1 It's an amphetamine for sure. Yeah, it's not the same, but it's...

Speaker 1 And yeah, you get... It's in the hunt.

Speaker 1 People do wild 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.

Speaker 1 And people abuse the shit out of everything. You tell them to take one.
They're going to take five or six.

Speaker 1 I think the the biggest problem is like most people's lives suck so bad that like drugs is their only

Speaker 1 thing. That's true too.
That's true too. Because that's happy.
That's instant happiness. That's true.

Speaker 1 Because you know what's so funny is I think a lot of people assume that most of the like homeless people on the street

Speaker 1 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 start using drugs.

Speaker 1 Because like, what else the the fuck you gonna do? Where else you gonna get happiness from?

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 A lot of those people are just like severely mentally ill and really should be in some sort of an institution. People are never gonna stop getting high.

Speaker 1 No, they're not going to.

Speaker 1 I'm smoking a cigar right now.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 I don't know what the solution is. Oh, just legalize everything.
I don't know that. I would have said that five years ago, but

Speaker 1 maybe that is the ultimate solution, but the way it's implemented, because I think they tried that in Seattle or Portland or something like that. Yeah, they had to stop it.

Speaker 1 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. These people are ridiculous.

Speaker 1 That was Seattle, right?

Speaker 1 No. I think it was.
Was it Portland or Seattle? Which one was it that it was Oregon that legalized everything, right? Yeah, I think you're right. I think it was Oregon.
Yeah, it was Oregon.

Speaker 1 So it 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.

Speaker 1 Everyone's just going to be brazen about it. You've got a culture that

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 And the only thing that makes them feel good is fentanyl or oxycodone or whatever the fuck they're taking. Whatever that shit that makes you lean over.
What's that stuff?

Speaker 1 It's a lot of shit to do there. The stuff that they're doing yoga on the street.
Trank. Trink or something like that, I think.

Speaker 1 Whatever the fuck they're doing, these people, they're trying to escape, right?

Speaker 1 And the idea that you just leave them, they're obviously severely mentally ill. Like, if we spend money on people with illness, why don't we spend money on people with mental illness?

Speaker 1 It seems like if you want to support Medicaid, shouldn't you support like mass

Speaker 1 medical

Speaker 1 assistance to most of these people? because a lot of them are probably severely mentally ill and unmedicated. And maybe they can be helped.

Speaker 1 Maybe someone can take them into an institution and give them a lot of people. There's somebody calling you a socialist right now in the comments.
I am in a lot of ways. I am.

Speaker 1 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

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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 going to put the big guy's fire out.

Speaker 1 No, the fucking house gets on fire. Everybody agrees that that fire needs to get put out so the fire people move.
That's you spend your tax dollars on it. See, that's how I feel about healthcare.

Speaker 1 It's true. That's a good way to look at it.
It's like, imagine if the fire department could deny you when your house was burning.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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 we're going to make the most money.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 If we want it to be for

Speaker 1 the best, some stuff can't be for profit.

Speaker 1 The thing about that guy shooting that person that's the most disturbing wasn't just that everybody, that a lot of people cheered for it, but what was the most disturbing was that people weren't mad.

Speaker 1 They weren't outraged. They didn't treat it like a regular assassination.
It was like an assassination where he deserved it. Right?

Speaker 1 It didn't seem like a bad, even though people were 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?

Speaker 1 Or not even a famous person. If someone just randomly shot some

Speaker 1 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, it was like, because think about that.

Speaker 1 You feel like that insurance guy was Osama Bilan? No, but I mean,

Speaker 1 they both are indirectly responsible for the deaths of how many Americans? Except he was doing it for profit. Osama was doing it for the love of the game or whatever.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 I think we played it on the podcast where this woman talked about how

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 She could have approved it. And she was rewarded for not approving it.
Like they were like, you did the right thing. So that's like the culture is not about...

Speaker 1 it's see like 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 me it doesn't give you a lot of meaning to deny people health care 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.

Speaker 1 I want to get a fucking Ferrari.

Speaker 1 And you also got to, like, it got to 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.

Speaker 1 You need new stuff. You're not going to live in a fucking log hut in the woods if you're living like that.
You're not going to be interested in starting your own fire and reading books by candlelight.

Speaker 1 Shut the fuck up. You're doing cocaine and you're trying to buy a house.

Speaker 1 And you're surrounded by people that like yeah they're they're impressed by the shit you're doing too so 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're not they don't feel fulfilled in life you 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

Speaker 1 No, I don't think they feel guilty. I mean, some people might feel guilty afterwards, but I think a lot of them are on.
I don't think they feel bad, man. I think they're medicated.

Speaker 1 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 SSRI. Probably need a little something.

Speaker 1 But it's like the easiest person allowed 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Well, this is standard.

Speaker 1 Standard is a word they use a lot when they're trying trying to fuck you. People looked at it very differently than someone just shooting some other person.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 It was like you couldn't tell by any other information from anybody

Speaker 1 how they felt about it. I just felt nothing, honestly.

Speaker 1 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

Speaker 1 the

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 We want kindness and compassion, and we want people to be able to live their life health. You don't want violent murders on the street if you are a progressive.

Speaker 1 But a lot of progressives were cheering when this guy got murdered.

Speaker 1 It just shows how many grifters and hypocrites there are.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 I mean, there's a lot of speculation about, was it a family member or like he'd had a back surgery that screwed him up?

Speaker 1 But like I said,

Speaker 1 I only get the news that like rises, that's like forced in in my face because I don't watch any of the

Speaker 1 to me. It's

Speaker 1 different than like, let's say, some Iraq war veteran assassinated Dick Cheney.

Speaker 1 Like that, to me, makes more sense.

Speaker 1 That one makes more sense.

Speaker 1 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 wind up killing who knows how many people.

Speaker 1 But people i think

Speaker 1 dick cheney would have got a better reaction than than this guy you think people would have been sad that dick cheney got shot well they would have thought it's very dangerous because whenever a vice president gets shot everybody feels vulnerable i think that's a that's something that you can you can partisanize partisanize a word i think it's something you can you can make you can make partisan but with but like i said that's what was special that's what's special that's what's special about this is everybody got fucked over by everybody got fucked over it's like so like there's people that love dick cheney or there's people that still hold like those politics from back then.

Speaker 1 I don't know. Does anybody love Dick Cheney? That's why it was really crazy when Dick Cheney endorsed Kamala and they were all like, yeah.

Speaker 1 What? That guy? What?

Speaker 1 You forgot? Yeah, but I just mean,

Speaker 1 I don't think he is as hated as,

Speaker 1 I mean, the truth is,

Speaker 1 nobody knew that CEO's name before this, but the whole business is hated. So it's like, damn, he became the face of that.
And it's definitely

Speaker 1 apolitical. It's like,

Speaker 1 I don't know a single person that hasn't had an issue with health insurance.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 I wouldn't be shocked. Would you be shocked?

Speaker 1 If you're a company and you're trying to make the most money and you find out that there's software that will allow you to make more money and all you care about is making money, you're not really caring about healthcare.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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

Speaker 1 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 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 public company exactly stay private stay private yeah but don't you think the type of person that's a certain insurance company Like, I think you would have to be a certain type of

Speaker 1 type. Yeah, you have to be a psychologist.
I should profit from suffering somehow. Yeah, I should.
Well, you're gambling, right?

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Because I think if you start hitting in that direction of like ethical health care,

Speaker 1 eventually you're going to rabbit, oh, there shouldn't be health insurance. It should just cost what it costs.

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 What about all these people that are like eating bad food? Yeah, we got to educate our society.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 If your claim is denied by AI, you can take steps to understand your rights and challenge the denial. Keep records.

Speaker 1 Document all correspondence with your insurer, including denial letters and any communication about AI. A lawyer can help you understand your rights and determine if the denial was made in bad faith.

Speaker 1 Like, you're fucked. Yeah, for most people, especially people that work all day and you're dealing with this shit, you're fucked.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 So that's California. That's great law.
The whole country should adopt that. Using AI to deny.

Speaker 1 Head to Walmart or Target and grab Degree Cool Rush, the fan favorite scent from the world's number one antiperspirant brand.

Speaker 1 I really think that the problem is that there's been a long history of profit for healthcare and that they go into it to profit. And

Speaker 1 the real problem with that is

Speaker 1 you want, but you also want the best surgeons, right? You want the best doctors, and they have to be motivated.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Doctors have a Mercedes, doctors have a nice house. Like you should be a doctor, Brian.
You should be a doctor, a nice doctor. Doctors make a lot of money.

Speaker 1 But they also have a fuckload of bills and they have a fuckload of insurance. Okay, so they have

Speaker 1 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 the country?

Speaker 1 They do, but they're constantly moving people in and out of their office because they got a fucking heavy nut to cover every month.

Speaker 1 Yes, United Health is facing multiple class action lawsuits over its use of algorithms, its investment practices, and its treatment of patients, algorithms use claim processing.

Speaker 1 United Health is facing a class action lawsuit over the algorithm it uses to process claims.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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 now you're fucked.

Speaker 1 That sounds

Speaker 1 crazy.

Speaker 1 That's crazy, right? Yeah. I mean, I haven't seen that happen.
So we agree that the fire department should be kind of a socialist organization. Yeah.
Okay. Why not healthcare? Yeah, that's how I feel.

Speaker 1 But then the problem is, you know, Dr. fucking Grossman, he wants a Ferrari.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but the problem with that is like, how do you pay, how do you, like, how much does everybody get paid? Does the government just pay everybody the same way they're getting paid now?

Speaker 1 Or does it become like a government job like, you know, like you're a state-appointed defense attorney? It becomes like the NFL. You know what I mean?

Speaker 1 Like not as motivated as some like super high-powered defense attorney that, you know, handles huge cases and knows the law inside and, you know what I'm saying?

Speaker 1 It's like, who's going to fix you now? Because like my friends in Canada, they say, yeah, healthcare is free.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 So like 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Okay, well, good news is you're covered. You know, you have a deductible, but this this is your deductible.
Okay, we can schedule you for February 16th. This is what we need you to do.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Or they tell you all of that, and then they go, oh, actually, you're not covered.

Speaker 1 Because you didn't tell us about this thing from,

Speaker 1 yeah,

Speaker 1 okay, well, I still need the surgery and I don't have, you know, $50,000. Right.

Speaker 1 It's like, that's the shitty part.

Speaker 1 Yeah, because there's some people that, like, they are healthy and they take care of of themselves and they pay their insurance.

Speaker 1 And then, you know, they get a tumor or something, you know, unforeseen. Yes.

Speaker 1 100%. 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?

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Oh, bro, did you also know there's fucking there's fires the same thing's happening in South America and Africa

Speaker 1 Yeah, just whole places burning the fuck down just

Speaker 1 I'm 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

Speaker 1 super suspicious super Super suspicious there's a set there's satellite footage of all the three fires starting at the same time simultaneously yeah

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Whether it was a schizophrenic person that a fire bug, there's a lot of those people that are firebugs, man. There's people that are like actual arsonists.

Speaker 1 And when you get into the conditions that happen in the Santa Ana winds when California is dry, like you remember when it was.

Speaker 1 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

Speaker 1 probably like 2007 or 2008. The thing is, like, it doesn't have to be some crazy conspiracy.
Like, people think it's a conspiracy, a land grab, this whole thing.

Speaker 1 Maybe, maybe, but also people start fires. It's a, it's a, a, a known crime.
In fact, one of the people that they arrested, he had a fake fire truck.

Speaker 1 So this dude was a known arsonist, I believe from Oregon. He bought a fire truck and drove with a fireman's outfit and was going into these areas.
That's actually hilarious. And he's an arsonist.

Speaker 1 Like a known 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.

Speaker 1 Including a lot of firemen. Like that's a problem with firemen.
There's been firemen who have started fires.

Speaker 1 But it's wild that you like they, 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 pedoes.

Speaker 1 Well, you've killed a lot of people.

Speaker 1 Like if one of these, if someone, a human being was caught that did 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.

Speaker 1 How many people died? I think it's 25 or something like that. Yeah.
25 burned alive.

Speaker 1 How much damage? How many people are going to die? 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.

Speaker 1 You owe $350 billion

Speaker 1 and counting. It's $350 billion of damage.

Speaker 1 And then Altadina is gone. And aren't they still having the Grammys or whatever?

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 there's one 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 was an accident because they know there was a part a part that cost one dollar that one part failed and it started a fire a one dollar part

Speaker 1 yeah I think we're gonna just see more and more of this

Speaker 1 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 opened up the water from the north to come flow freely down to the south and not diverted into the Pacific Ocean.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 It can be at least mitigated. You're always going to have those crazy winds.
You're always going to have arsonists.

Speaker 1 You're always going to have things that fuck up where something starts a fire accidentally. But don't they do all that shit every year? Let them do like control burns and all of that stuff every year.

Speaker 1 Fact check old satellite footage falsely linked to 2025 LA wildfires.

Speaker 1 This is 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.

Speaker 1 This is just a picture, but this is from 2024's 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.

Speaker 1 It's hard to say. This is the caption from the picture.
So it's miscaptioned. So it's not true.
What about the one where it shows a person starting the fire?

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 He had a blowtorch in his hand, and they made it like a citizen's arrest.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but he might have been telling the truth. Nope, dude had been arrested like eight times.

Speaker 1 He had vandalism, all kinds of shit on his resume, violent crimes, I believe.

Speaker 1 That don't mean he was lying. Well, he was running around in a fire with a blowtorch.
Hey, bro, put that down.

Speaker 1 How are you going to light your shit? A lighter?

Speaker 1 He said he couldn't afford a lighter.

Speaker 1 Bitch, a lighter is a quarter. Yeah, that's wild.
I mean, it's wild to just to like carry a blowtorch. How much is a lighter? How much is like one of them little BIC lighters? A dollar?

Speaker 1 Is that a dollar? Like a dollar. Maybe it's probably like $1.20 or something.
See, if it's made in America, it's going to cost more. All right.

Speaker 1 Otherwise, China's going to chop off our fucking supply of bicks.

Speaker 1 Who makes Bicks?

Speaker 1 Am I guessing? See,

Speaker 1 in my head, I was thinking, like, you in the house, you can't find the lighter. So you're like, I got a torch.
I'm going to just use that. I'm going to run around on the side.

Speaker 1 But you're saying he was like walking around outside. I found him out where the fires were with a blowtorch, and he said it was empty.
He's like, Google, it's empty.

Speaker 1 It's like, even if you're telling the truth, like, your stupid ass deserve

Speaker 1 the inconvenience. Yeah, it was a criminal.

Speaker 1 What was I just going to ask you to Google? I'm trying to find a picture picture of the satellite of a person near the fire when it started.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 It's like 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.

Speaker 1 And while the fire is going on, they feel like, fuck it, man. Let's fucking help this fucking fire.
Fuck these rich people. I mean, it's the Palisades.
They're like the richest people in all of L.A.

Speaker 1 You think that's their motivations? Yeah, I think a lot of that for the arsonists. I think it's a lot of it is like, fuck society, my life sucks.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 That's their side project. Did 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.

Speaker 1 Everybody tells me it's awesome. It's the yeah, it's the best spotolog I've ever seen on SNL.
Well, he talks about Palestine. He compares Palestine to yeah, he pretty much went through it.

Speaker 1 He went through all the major things that's going on.

Speaker 1 The Palestine thing is nuts. I watched a video yesterday of Gaza, and I don't know if you've seen like fly over drone footage of what it looks like now.
Nope.

Speaker 1 You want to see it? Yeah, let's see it. Or do you want to like live?

Speaker 1 Nah, I want to see it. I want to see it.
Because I can say, 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.

Speaker 1 No, I don't mind. People send me the news, but I just don't actively go seek it out.
This is so depressing. I'm like,

Speaker 1 if it's something I need to know, somebody will tell me about it.

Speaker 1 There's a lot of before and after videos where they'll show someone driving down a road before, and then they show what it all looks like now.

Speaker 1 It's like the city doesn't exist anymore.

Speaker 1 It's like if way bigger than downtown Austin, wiped off the map.

Speaker 1 Look at this.

Speaker 1 This is crazy.

Speaker 1 So this is flying drone footage over Gaza City, and it's just everything's destroyed. Everything's destroyed.
It's like

Speaker 1 a nuke went off. Look at this.
From the sky, when you look at it, like as far as the eye can see, just destruction. Everything's got a missile hole in it.
Everything's collapsed.

Speaker 1 Everything's fucked up. Every now and then, like one house or one building in between is untouched, but most of it is fucking destroyed.

Speaker 1 If I was the guy who lived next door to that house that's perfect, I'd be like, who did you pay, motherfucker? Right? He doesn't even get blown up once. This is crazy.
Crazy.

Speaker 1 And this is right now.

Speaker 1 Right now. And

Speaker 1 somehow we're being fed that this is the only way to do this.

Speaker 1 And then somehow or another, this is acceptable to get rid of Hamas to just completely annihilate everybody. I mean, the number of people that are dead now is off the charts.

Speaker 1 They don't even know how many. Bro, this looks insane.
Insane. Insane.
It's insane. And it's happening right now.
This is how it used to look? Uh-huh. This is what it used to look like.
Look at that.

Speaker 1 Shops and cars.

Speaker 1 And now it's just

Speaker 1 destroyed. Everything destroyed.
They bombed the fuck out of everything. Oh, this shit make you feel something.
Well, this is like, this is never coming back.

Speaker 1 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 sh what is all of the what is

Speaker 1 what is that? What is all of this? Tents.

Speaker 1 Tents where people have to, like, stay in tents. And by the way, they might bomb those tents, too.
The whole thing is very scary, dude, because

Speaker 1 it's just at a level of destruction that's impossible to say that you support it. It's like, this is insane.
These are human lives. Like,

Speaker 1 how many people are dying here? Is this the only way to do this? Is this the only way to do this?

Speaker 1 This seems crazy. Yeah.
And how did you guys get to this point?

Speaker 1 Damn, see, man.

Speaker 1 This is why I avoid the news.

Speaker 1 It's because

Speaker 1 all the stupidest people I know are happy as shit. So I'm like, I just need to know less.

Speaker 1 And I can enjoy.

Speaker 1 I think there's something to that, but

Speaker 1 I think we kind of need to pay attention nowadays.

Speaker 1 I think things are getting real weird. Real weird.

Speaker 1 Because you know what it is? It's the death of truth. Like, it's hard to know what's true.
You hear something, it sounds true, and then you hear something else, oh, that's not true.

Speaker 1 And then both can point you to links and studies, and you're like,

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 They're doing a real good job of confusing people.

Speaker 1 That's when I, when I, you know, and 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Like they love to do stuff like that, where they'll push out a story, like some inflammatory story.

Speaker 1 Really, the design of that story is to get you distracted from other things that are going on simultaneously.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Not saying that that's what they're doing, but it makes sense.

Speaker 1 The scientific discovery yesterday? No, you were about to tell me at the beginning. They fucking, they had a, um,

Speaker 1 they, they found a, an asteroid.

Speaker 1 Oh, I did see this. And it had like most of the ingredients for life on it.
Yes. Like all the amino acids.
Not all of them, but like all but three.

Speaker 1 And then all of a... I forget what the big-ass word this lady used.

Speaker 1 But

Speaker 1 I think this was a theory before, but but it's becoming more and more likely that life was seeded by

Speaker 1 an asteroid or something. Yeah.
That's a theory called panspermia. Panspermia.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 And it also accounts for some things that don't fit in, like psilocybin mushrooms. Like they there's something very alien about them.

Speaker 1 That one of the things about spores is that spores can survive like almost anything. They can survive in a vacuum.
They can survive through space. Like spores are like insanely durable.

Speaker 1 And it's if you have the potential for all of these amino acids and different minerals and there was absolutely salt on that, right? Wasn't there salt on that rock as well? I don't know. Let me see.

Speaker 1 I think there was a bunch of different elements of life on that asteroid. And why not spores?

Speaker 1 And if

Speaker 1 you know

Speaker 1 some

Speaker 1 mushroom that grows on another planet where these human beings interact with nature through it and then it just lands here on earth

Speaker 1 did you find it osiris rex mission so they found amino acids nucleotide bases minerals from salt water

Speaker 1 and more

Speaker 1 yeah 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

Speaker 1 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 change those you know like they look at them they go well

Speaker 1 maybe

Speaker 1 like now they they're wondering with whether dark energy is real they think maybe time moves differently in between galaxies

Speaker 1 Like they've got some like new theory. Yeah,

Speaker 1 I've heard whisper. I think I heard Neil de Grass Tyson talk about that recently.
All of it is like, what are you even saying?

Speaker 1 Or that gravity is different in different places? Something like that? They think

Speaker 1 that gravity and space-time moves differently in the voids in between galaxies and planets.

Speaker 1 Wait a minute. Who's saying that? Who's saying that? Like, what are you saying?

Speaker 1 Right.

Speaker 1 That's what I'm saying, bro. They're thinking that's what accounts for the.
I just think it no less because it's breaking my brain. That's why they're apart from each other.

Speaker 1 It's not that dark energy is pushing them away from each other i don't know like because 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 is 90 of the universe what it's like just space-time moving in a different way like what happened yeah 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Is he talking about the Methuselah star? No, that's interesting, too, because the Methuselah star is actually older somehow than the entire universe, which doesn't make any sense.

Speaker 1 It's like 14 plus billion years old, so it's like a little bit older than what they think was the Big Bang.

Speaker 1 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 of error.

Speaker 1 The Methuselah star is, but not this new discovery. So the new discovery for the James Fudd Telescope is they found galaxies that form too quickly.

Speaker 1 And they formed so long ago, like so far away, because they could see

Speaker 1 bigger now, that it's changing. Like, there's two things possible.

Speaker 1 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 can 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 that's red spots that they found in the universe but they think that

Speaker 1 It's very people are very reluctant to commit, right? Because they don't really know.

Speaker 1 But the potential is that the universe is not 14 or 13 point whatever billion years old, but maybe as old as 24 billion years old.

Speaker 1 Or maybe the next time you come in here, I want to be to the hair the next time you have one of these motherfuckers, these Lawrence Krauss. You want to be in here with me?

Speaker 1 Nico Cock, yeah, because I love, I'm fascinated by this kind of shit. The problem with two people talking is like, I got a lot of.

Speaker 1 This episode is brought to you by Montana Knife Company. Do you know there are a little over a hundred master bladesmiths in the world?

Speaker 1 Well Josh Smith, my friend, is one of the best and he's the founder of this company.

Speaker 1 Designed, tested, and built by Hunters, all of Montana knife company's knives are manufactured in Montana like my personal favorite the speed goat 2.0 it's ultra light and insanely sharp and it's just an actual like perfect tool for the job and just I love a really well-made product and Montana knife companies are super well made they're a hunting knife company that's first and foremost but Montana Knife Company also makes some of the best chef knives on the planet.

Speaker 1 I use them all the time in my kitchen. Plus, they're backed by a multi-generational guarantee promise, meaning you can send them back to be sharpened whenever you need, free of charge.

Speaker 1 Starting to think about a Christmas gift, Montana Knife Company's knives are the best presents out there and don't just wait until December to order.

Speaker 1 They sell out fast and always sell out before the holidays. So get yours now and give a gift that can be passed down for generations.
Montana Knife Company, working knives for working people.

Speaker 1 Like lock in on these dudes. I just want to listen.
Yeah, but you, I'd want you to chime in too. That does the like with some of these people, like, you have to have one-on-one.

Speaker 1 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 to,

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 They're trying to explain to you

Speaker 1 these the dynamics of these subatomic particles. You're like, what you need like one person just locked on every time.
I hear a quantum physicist talk, I never understand everything they say,

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Let Eric Weinstein try to give you a fucking recipe. Oh, yeah,

Speaker 1 Jesus Christ, man.

Speaker 1 Weinstein's crazy smart in a spooky way. I know, but he's like, he forgets how much smarter than right.
He'll talk to you in a way that, like, you're like, I don't even know what you're saying.

Speaker 1 Yeah, bro, like, I don't have that degree, bro. Yeah, well, he has a theory of everything.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 He's of the belief that potentially we're looking at U.S.-made stuff that's like super advanced and that they've put a lid on it somehow. But what would be the purpose of that?

Speaker 1 Because I think if you develop something in secrecy, like they do all the time with like the stealth bomber, all these different things, even the Manhattan Project.

Speaker 1 You develop things in secrecy, and then there comes a time where you

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 How many things are vulnerable because of AI now? How many things are vulnerable because everything's attached to the internet? How many things could be hacked? Who fucking knows?

Speaker 1 But 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 you said, park it over the White House.

Speaker 1 Maybe part of what he's saying is true. Maybe he really did write that.

Speaker 1 Maybe someone wrote that and it's like some truths and some wacky shit to try to throw you off of the truth, which is also a strategy that gets used.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Make it sound crazy. Make it sound crazy.
Yeah, these people came from,

Speaker 1 Bigfoot is an interdimensional traveler who communicates with people telepathically.

Speaker 1 Add some stuff to it that just makes it stupid, but inside of it have the truth. They definitely do that.
They do that to make people's stories seem stupid when they go and tell them to the press.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I mean, that's what I would do

Speaker 1 if it was in my interest to keep some kind of weird thing secret. Like, tell people, you're just going to sound crazy.

Speaker 1 Well, if you were abducted by a UFO, you're going to sound crazy.

Speaker 1 What are you going to do? Like, you walk in the green room and you see me changing heads.

Speaker 1 I turn around like, oh. You've been a robot this whole time? Yeah, it's like no one will leave you.
Yeah, the new alien Romulus.

Speaker 1 Have you seen the new one? Oh, yeah, it was great. It's fucking great.
Actually, I saw it. That was the first time I actually enjoyed one of those, I don't know, they call them 4D or D-Box with

Speaker 1 the smoke and all that shit. Oh, you went to one of those places? I saw that movie, yeah.
Oh,

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Especially when I felt when I realized like you could turn the water off because like when like the aliens spray, some of the shit get on you and shit. Oh, it's like a spray from the ceiling.

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 But you can. 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 I think that was the best alien movie since Alien 1.

Speaker 1 I think.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Prometheus was kind of the same kind of spirit. Prometheus was pretty good.
Covenant was better. I like Covenant.
Covenant was really good. Michael Fastbender, he's the shit.

Speaker 1 I didn't like Prometheus until the second time I watched it. Oh, yeah? But

Speaker 1 yeah, because it just wasn't what I was expecting.

Speaker 1 Right. But once I saw it, like, on its own merit, it was like it was different.
I think Covenant's better.

Speaker 1 Prometheus is pretty good, but you know, they had this story to tell about like seeding DNA and the fucking operators.

Speaker 1 Yeah, Covenant was good. Covenant was the one where

Speaker 1 they landed. Yeah.
Okay, yeah, that was great.

Speaker 1 The other one was the actual, like, human-like aliens and their planet, and they have, like, some war, and they all die, and this one guy comes to them. Remember? These guys.

Speaker 1 Remember? That's Prometheus.

Speaker 1 I forget what they called them. Did they call them the operators? No.

Speaker 1 But there was, it said no xenomorphs. They didn't have a war.

Speaker 1 They were seeding other planets. They're going to do a Prometheus 2.
It says no xenomorphs in Prometheus 2. Oh, they're going to have a Prometheus 2.
This could be old articles. I'm just.

Speaker 1 I hope they do another one. Stumbled across it.
Because you have like a whole universe of alien possibilities now because they skip timelines and shit. You know?

Speaker 1 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

Speaker 1 what was the one?

Speaker 1 Prometheus? No, no, no. Aliens 2? The latest one.
Oh,

Speaker 1 God, what did I call it?

Speaker 1 Prometheus. So what they had in common was like

Speaker 1 the protagonist didn't know what they were dealing with. Right.
So, that's it made it more exciting. Right, right, right.
Because it was right afterwards. So, people hadn't known yet.

Speaker 1 Yeah, and every and all the other aliens after that is like, yeah, Sabone We was like, I know exactly how to deal with these moments. Exactly, right.
Get away from her, you bitch. Please believe me.

Speaker 1 Yeah, when she's got the fucking robot suit on. I didn't like that either.

Speaker 1 That thing would fuck her up in that robot suit. And then, wasn't there one where like they like she gave birth to one? Yeah,

Speaker 1 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, Charlize Deron,

Speaker 1 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 that up? She's a mortal? Yeah,

Speaker 1 she leads this team of immortals. And they're like mercenaries or whatever.
So it's like a superhero movie?

Speaker 1 Kind of.

Speaker 1 Old Guard. Old Guard.
It's good as shit. Really? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Really? She's real good at playing like a badass. She played Furiosa.
She killed that shit. Well, she also played Eileen Wernos, that serial killer bitch.
Yeah, she don't fuck around.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 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, Charlene Strawn is beautiful.

Speaker 1 She's like stunningly good looking. I've seen her in 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.

Speaker 1 I didn't see it. Oh, you never saw Monster? Bro.
Okay, no, I've seen Monster. Yeah, yeah.
Monster's a great fucking movie. Shout out to my friend Patty Jenkins, who made it.

Speaker 1 But that movie was like, no ladies do that. Like, Robert De Niro did that.
You know,

Speaker 1 Marky Mark's done that.

Speaker 1 Stallone got fat for a movie. They'll do that.
But like, for her,

Speaker 1 bro,

Speaker 1 crazy.

Speaker 1 And she looks just like that lady. I don't know, but I didn't see this.
I was mixing this up with another movie called, like, I Piss on Your Grave or something. Oh.

Speaker 1 Yeah, there's a revenge. It's a revenge movie called I Piss On Your Grave.
I was telling you before, you know what's good? It's Nosferado.

Speaker 1 I'm going to go watch her. I'm going to download it for the plane, actually.

Speaker 1 I'm saying it right now. It's the best vampire movie ever.
Ever.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 So you're saying it's better than Blade?

Speaker 1 Blade was awesome. But Blade was a superhero movie.
More than it was a. So you don't count Blade as a vampire movie?

Speaker 1 It was a vampire movie in that the superhero had to kill the vampires, but it's a Marvel comic guy. I'd known Blade since I was a teenager.
I was into Marvel comic.

Speaker 1 So Blade's a vampire movie the way that 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 The movie was essentially, you know, revenge, they killed Riddler. Oh, shit.
You know? So what about like the

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Obviously, it made hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars.

Speaker 1 People 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?

Speaker 1 I can't get with it. Yeah, I'm not a fan of watching bad movies, but Nasferato is the trailer for Nasferatu.
Yeah,

Speaker 1 it's really good, dude. It's really good.
Like, for real, like, if you like a good old-fashioned harg vampire movie, and the dude who plays Count Orlock is the dude who played Pennywise in Eagle.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 But holy shit, dude, there's this one scene where you get to see his whole body naked when he rises up out of the coffin. Spoiler alert.
It's insane.

Speaker 1 And not just creepy, but beautifully shot. Oh, I remember seeing previews for this.
Oh, dude, it's good. It's good.

Speaker 1 It's good. And they're not going to even show you.

Speaker 1 Even in the trailer, they don't show you the vampire. Samuel.
And

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Google Orlock.

Speaker 1 So much of the shit on the internet is bullshit. I was trying not to spoil it for Brian.

Speaker 1 What he looks like? It's a big reveal in the movie.

Speaker 1 I don't know.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Oh, he was real. Yeah.
This is what he looks like in this.

Speaker 1 But you got to see it. Like, this is a very toned-down version of it.
It's incredible. But, like, if you like a good, scary, horror movie, it's the best vampire movie.
I love a reveal.

Speaker 1 It's a great reveal. It's really good.
And they drag it out. Like, 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.

Speaker 1 And this isn't my take i've heard other people talk about like this but that's the other thing that made alien great was like

Speaker 1 before it's like you don't always show the monster exactly exactly because it's like because because because

Speaker 1 because like

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 You need a little foreplay. Yeah, yeah.
It's like I walk

Speaker 1 before you get horrified. Why is Johnson dead? Yeah.

Speaker 1 I was just in here with it. What the fuck? Why the wall built it? You know,

Speaker 1 that's the shit that makes it good. Exactly.
Exactly. And this movie does it perfectly.
Jaws. Jaws.
That's why Jaws was such a hit. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah. That's right.
That's right. Jaws was great.

Speaker 1 It still holds up. Predator still holds up.
You ever seen Predator? Predator holds up. That still holds up.
The first Predator. If it bleeds, we can kill it.

Speaker 1 No, no, no, no.

Speaker 1 My favorite line is when. Jesse Vendura? No, no, when they walk into the woods and old boy keeps making noise, he goes, he goes, you fucking this motherfucker.

Speaker 1 Like, he telling, like, you make, if you keep making noise, I'm gonna bleed you.

Speaker 1 I'm gonna like leave you out here.

Speaker 1 I forget what the word is he used, but he was like, This is like you telling everybody where the fuck we at. By the way, you moving, talking, tripping, sliding.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 The um, the joint where the uh, with a native dude is like, fuck it. Yeah,

Speaker 1 I'm gonna take off my shit. I'm gonna cut my chest chest with something that that's a dope one the uh the one where they where uh

Speaker 1 where arnold and uh

Speaker 1 apollo creed where they do this right here so so this is what's wow that's a meme now yeah right just but just their arms uh-huh and and a lot of people don't even know that it's from predator they just they just see it as like that's the that's the meme right right right yeah i've showed i've tried to show that to one of my nephews he was like oh that's the uh

Speaker 1 that's like 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.

Speaker 1 I'm here for that.

Speaker 1 Oh, that's an arm wrestling senior predator. Yeah.
That's it.

Speaker 1 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 dumb.
No, this movie was, the dialogue is crazy.

Speaker 1 That's back when Carl Weathers was jacked.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Okay, okay, okay. I didn't know when to quit, huh?

Speaker 1 You did know when to quit, huh? What is this fucking type is? Oh, come on, forget about my type. The way they acted back then was like it was a different form of language.
It's like it seems so fake.

Speaker 1 If that was like a director today, like the same director that did Nosferato, he'd be like, cut, cut.

Speaker 1 What are we doing? Yeah. Are you guys really meeting each other for the first time? Or is this like a play? Come on.

Speaker 1 And also. Convince me.
Bro, the run that Arnold had. Oh, he did a gang of great movies.
Like, just actions. Like, he's the Conan, bro.
He did Conan. Conan the Barbarian.

Speaker 1 You know who was the best Conan, though? What? Jason Momoa.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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 Prohasuka would be a good Conan.
Like that kind of build.

Speaker 1 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.
But what do you mean how Conan looked? In the books.

Speaker 1 Oh, I didn't know Conan was busted. Oh, dude, I'm a super Conan nerd.
A super nerd. There was like a comic book before? Yeah, well, it was a book.
Robert E.

Speaker 1 Howard, he wrote books about Conan the Conqueror. And he created this whole

Speaker 1 world of Sumeria, where he's from, and this whole lore of this one usurper who rises and kills everybody. And that's Conan.
And he slays dragons and monsters and demons and, you know,

Speaker 1 I think he comes back from the dead at one point in time. Like,

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Right.

Speaker 1 Right. Oh, this dude's going to fuck everything up.
But 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.

Speaker 1 So the dude was like, he was getting,

Speaker 1 he wanted his life sucked. He was super depressed.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 They came up after he died? No, they were, this is like in the 19th is when he wrote it?

Speaker 1 Yeah, it was 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?

Speaker 1 So then they had the comic books, and then they had illustrated books, and then

Speaker 1 I think that was the first Conan movie, was Arnold. I think he was the first Conan movie.

Speaker 1 And there's been a few attempts since then, but no one has really captured the books the like stylistically except for like the Jason Momo movie. But the movie just wasn't that good.

Speaker 1 Just wasn't a someone needs to you need like a real like a Robert Eggers, the guy who did this Nosferrado movie. That's his name, right?

Speaker 1 It's Robert Eggers, right?

Speaker 1 The guy who did the Nosferrado movie? Yes, I think yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That guy.
If like that guy did a Conan movie, it would be sick. But it has to be like a realistic movie.

Speaker 1 It has to be a movie of this realistic warrior encountering these crazy things. It can't be like cartoon-ish.
It It can't be like, I just have to believe this dumb shit.

Speaker 1 Too much suspension of disbelief. It's got to be like a wild movie based.
The Northmen. Oh, the Northmen was amazing.
Did you see that? Yeah, I saw that. That's exactly what I'm talking about.

Speaker 1 This kind of movie is exactly like what Conan would have to be. That movie's fucking great.
That's like one of the best Viking movies. It's not the best one.
It's actually dark as hell.

Speaker 1 Really good movie. Oh, there's no good guys in that movie.
No. That movie's crazy and probably representative of

Speaker 1 the real life of Vikings, the way they really lived. Because they were fucking ruthless.
That movie's great. But it's also got like

Speaker 1 supernatural 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.

Speaker 1 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, yes.
Bro, it's good. It's fucking good.

Speaker 1 Nosferat is one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. It's great.
And it's so beautiful. Like, the way it's shot is so beautiful.
There's a scene when he's walking up to the castle.

Speaker 1 It's the creepiest setup of all time. It's so good.

Speaker 1 I don't want to ruin it. It's so good.
If you like those kind of movies, I love those kind of movies. I grew up on monster movies.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 That's my kind of movies. Nels Ferrado Cinematographer promises Robert Egger's werewolf is unlike anything done before.

Speaker 1 Wow.

Speaker 1 A medieval werewolf movie. Oh, boy.
And the primary candidate has never been used in a film. What does that mean? Maybe

Speaker 1 they want to lead it. Oh, yeah.
The character of the

Speaker 1 subject, like the character of the

Speaker 1 women. So it's a new character.
He did the lighthouse too? Yeah. Wow.
That shit was weird. And the witch.
Wow, that guy's done some killer fucking movies. I'm excited about this werewolf movie.

Speaker 1 I've been saying that forever. Someone needs to make another good werewolf movie.
Like that Benicio Del Toro one.

Speaker 1 Specific medieval image or tale of werewolfry that's being clept 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.

Speaker 1 This is going to be awesome. Remember the Jack Nicholson werewolf one? What was that called? Oh, yeah, that was terrible.
With

Speaker 1 Michelle Pfeiffer.

Speaker 1 That was so stupid. They were like, ah, it looked just like a person.
I went and saw that. My family went and saw that, and I went and saw another, a different movie.

Speaker 1 It was the first time that, because we used to, it was like a thing we did. We go to the movies like every other week.
But

Speaker 1 my father, my stepmother, they didn't give a fuck about no age limit.

Speaker 1 You're going to see what we see.

Speaker 1 This was the first time I was like, I don't want to see that shit.

Speaker 1 And I still end up going in there after my, because my movie was over before this. I think I went and saw

Speaker 1 a circuit two or something. Look, he's going chasing after this deer.
Ah, I'm a wolf. Look, he just looks like a regular guy.
It's so dopey.

Speaker 1 It's so silly. Like, look at this.

Speaker 1 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 stunt man.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Look, he's running.

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 1 He's on a tree. He flies and he grabs the deer.

Speaker 1 This is so stupid. It's so stupid.

Speaker 1 The owl's freaking out. This is crazy.
This is crazy. Did you ever see the Benicio del Toro one? Uh-oh.
This is one good scene.

Speaker 1 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 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.

Speaker 1 So they have him in in this thing. Give me some volume on this.

Speaker 1 I can just feel everybody in this room about to die. Everybody's gonna die.
It's great. Oh, this is awesome.

Speaker 1 His young mind, unable to

Speaker 1 accept it, created a fantastical truth

Speaker 1 that his father is to blame.

Speaker 1 His father's a werewolf. Skip ahead, or yeah, skip ahead a little bit.

Speaker 1 Tonight, I will kill all of you.

Speaker 1 Yes, well,

Speaker 1 as you can see, like country

Speaker 1 disease of the night

Speaker 1 existing

Speaker 1 somewhere in the deep

Speaker 1 distance all the spirits.

Speaker 1 To him, it seems very real.

Speaker 1 Come on, get the fuck out of there.

Speaker 1 Doctor Herdinger

Speaker 1 arrives.

Speaker 1 It's a great fucking scene. See, my only problem with it.
Great fucking scene. My only problem with it is it's not a scary enough wolf.
It's not. Everything else is great.

Speaker 1 It's not like American Werewolf in London. It's too much like the Wolfman, which is what it was kind of based on, like an updated version of the Wolfman.
It's more like, oh.

Speaker 1 The same guy who did that makeup, by the way, did the American Werewolf in London. That was Rick Baker.
That was like the teen wolf wolf. Was, right? Was it Rick Baker that did that, right?

Speaker 1 Yeah, Rick Baker. So the thing is, though, it was not CGI, and that's what they were trying to achieve.
Because, like, there's a difference between the way it looks.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Like, the American Werewolf in London, you didn't get to see shit for like like a long time. Like, it was deep into that movie.

Speaker 1 You saw flashes of the wolf until it was in Piccadilly Square and started killing people. Remember that? It's been a long time since I've seen that movie.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 He'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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 And I do remember like there's a scene with a subway scene, right?

Speaker 1 Yes. There's a subway scene where there's a businessman.
He's trying to get away, and he sees it

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Bro, you know, the scariest movie I've seen recently. I guess maybe scary ain't the right word.
But it was the sequel to X.

Speaker 1 The sequel to X? And I'm forgetting the name of it. Yeah, 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.

Speaker 1 Okay, yeah, so the sequel to this movie. So what is X?

Speaker 1 It's about like. It's a slasher film? Yeah, it's a slasher film, yeah.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 the sequel to it, because I never saw that when I saw this. Okay.
I still haven't seen X.

Speaker 1 So X

Speaker 1 Maxine with two X's? Three X's? No, no, that's not it. It's not Maxine.
Oh, I'm sorry. I thought I had to screen up.
Shit, my bad.

Speaker 1 No, that's not it. It was a sequel right here.

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 1 It's got that same girl in it.

Speaker 1 No, who's the star of this? Pearl. That's what I mean.

Speaker 1 Oh, so Pearl was a prequel. Oh, okay.
I didn't realize. Okay, so Pearl came out.
I saw Pearl before. I haven't seen any of the rest of these.
This shit is.

Speaker 1 I liked it. And she's a serial killer?

Speaker 1 She's insane.

Speaker 1 No, this is not very true. But it's like, you kind of know she's the monster the whole time,

Speaker 1 but she doesn't become monstrous. It's kind of the same thing.
And she's cute? Yeah, she's cute. She's adorable

Speaker 1 at first glance.

Speaker 1 I want to be special, dancing up on the screen like the pretty girls in the picture.

Speaker 1 I will not let you leave this farm again.

Speaker 1 I'm worried there may be something real wrong with me.

Speaker 1 Rumor has it they only take one gal per town.

Speaker 1 We're looking for someone with X factor. Has to be me.

Speaker 1 How about a film nobody else has seen? Is it illegal? Will be eventually.

Speaker 1 I know what I've done.

Speaker 1 The other business making a huge mistake.

Speaker 1 Terrible, awful, murderous things.

Speaker 1 I want to be loved from as many people as possible.

Speaker 1 But truth is, I'm not really a good person

Speaker 1 jesus christ

Speaker 1 yeah bro like you want to talk about like a like this looks like

Speaker 1 like this is just slipping into insanity further and deeper and deeper and deeper i just don't think you should uh show this to america right now

Speaker 1 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

Speaker 1 It wasn't a rampage. In fact,

Speaker 1 that's the thing I respect more is that the people that like shoot up a place

Speaker 1 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

Speaker 1 right

Speaker 1 at least he was like specific he didn't like that's another way

Speaker 1 lesbian memory hold the new orleans guy just ran over all those people what new orleans guy

Speaker 1 you didn't hear about this no this was uh how long ago jamie that's the thing new year's eve they were like within eight hours of each other this and the so this new orleans guy turns down bourbon street and just runs people over ran over like 200 people.

Speaker 1 Bunch of people got fucked up. Bunch of people died.
How many people died? I think at least 14 lost.

Speaker 1 I think like 200 people were injured. Wow.
14 people dead.

Speaker 1 Four more. He was in a cybertruck, too? Yeah, and he was also...
He was not a cyber truck. No, he was running.
Yeah, sorry, not a cyber truck. But he was also one of the guys from Fort Bragg.

Speaker 1 Like, we were talking about it yesterday with Metzger. Metzger will get you believe in conspiracies.
Bro, Metzger will take you down some rabbit hole. He just hit you with so many, though.

Speaker 1 So many in a row. I can't even get.

Speaker 1 That's like his entertainment. Oh, you didn't know? His entertainment.
Oh, yeah. It's his life.

Speaker 1 And I'm on a complete opposite end of the spectrum. Exactly.
I like to hear people that's into it talk about it,

Speaker 1 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. Heck, he'll stop.
If you say, I can't do this right now.

Speaker 1 I got to go on stage in five minutes. I can't hear how many people Hillary Clinton killed.

Speaker 1 I think

Speaker 1 he probably is

Speaker 1 abreast at every conspiracy theory. Right, but he believes a bunch of them that are kooky.

Speaker 1 He and I have had some conversations about ones. I'm like, wait, why do you believe that?

Speaker 1 That one doesn't make any sense.

Speaker 1 Because the primary belief is that the official story is bullshit. 100%.
So if you.

Speaker 1 Which is probably true a lot of the time. But where you run into logical trouble is, it's like, just because they lying don't mean that the first alternative that people give you is the truth.
Right.

Speaker 1 Like some kooky YouTube video. Yeah.
That's got it broken down. So it's like, they don't want you to know.

Speaker 1 man i saw bro have you did you see this um you know godfrey the the comic yeah so he had um i forget the name of the scientist but he had like a scientist come on and debate lord jamar

Speaker 1 lord jamar's a flat earther um

Speaker 1 and it didn't go well it didn't go well of course it didn't you know that doesn't make any sense was that that professor dave guy

Speaker 1 yeah professor dave yeah professor dave's done of quite a few of those he's doing the world a nice favor yeah but it's like but but bro,

Speaker 1 imagine that being your whole life. It's just opposition.
Well,

Speaker 1 to what? To bad science. It's to people getting led down a bad road and believing something that's uniquely preposterous.
No, but the earth is flat. You know Christopher Hitchens, right? Sure.

Speaker 1 He made his whole career like debating Christians and Muslims.

Speaker 1 He would like go to their churches and debate their leadership.

Speaker 1 And somebody asked him one time, like, hey,

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 You know, or something to that effect. Those weren't his exact words, but it was like,

Speaker 1 I think you got to be a special kind of person to be like, no, I want all the smoke. I want to argue directly with people that I don't think.

Speaker 1 Well, Christopher Hitches was uniquely brilliant, and he was so good at forming arguments and sentences, and his grasp of the language was so expert. He was a great speaker.
Amazing. Amazing speaker.

Speaker 1 So that he would have these conversations with these people and they'd be like woefully underprepared.

Speaker 1 They couldn't handle it. He also has an incredible amount of knowledge when it comes to religion, whether it's Christianity or Islam.

Speaker 1 And he'll call out everything that has ever happened that's terrible that every one of them has done. And he knows that information at the tip of his fingers at any given time.

Speaker 1 I grew up religious, and he was the one that made me be like, oh.

Speaker 1 He makes some very, very, very compelling, logical arguments.

Speaker 1 It'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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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 feel its presence every now and then.

Speaker 1 But also, it's like we're puzzle-solving creatures. So it's like the need to have an answer to the puzzles.
Oh, yeah. And also to have a daddy.

Speaker 1 We always want someone who is above us, whether it's the president or the mayor or your father, whoever it is.

Speaker 1 You want some person who's looking out for you and it is watching over everything and has a plan for all of you. Wait until your God gets home, young man.
Yeah, wait until God is watching.

Speaker 1 You jerk off. Oh,

Speaker 1 that that me up for a little while when I was like you know

Speaker 1 God was watching all the time because we used to go when I was little we I would get there was a church that was also a school like 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 and you know and we got sent to that you know 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.

Speaker 1 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

Speaker 1 crime and violence gets you killed, someone else gets killed, you go to jail. It's not good.

Speaker 1 Like, it's definitely better in terms of 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.

Speaker 1 I mean, doesn't it depend on which religion? It does. It definitely does.

Speaker 1 It definitely does. I mean, you have some religions where you get a gang of wives.
Woo!

Speaker 1 That sounds like more trouble than it's worth. Yes.

Speaker 1 Well, that's the reason why the Mormons moved to Mexico. They moved to Mexico.
What you mean? You don't know about that? They're not in Utah no more? Listen, when

Speaker 1 Mitch,

Speaker 1 what's his name?

Speaker 1 The fucking guy I ran for president? Oh,

Speaker 1 Mitt Romney. Mitt Romney.
Mitt. 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 So they went to Mexico.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 And one of, I think it was like a family was killed. I think it might have been an accident that the cartel mistook them for someone else or someone did.
And there was like this real problem.

Speaker 1 I don't know what happened. I don't remember how the story went down, but I remember it was a big international story.
And then everybody was like, wait, what's going on?

Speaker 1 There's giant camps of armed Mormons in Mexico? Yeah, they don't fuck around. Like, why did they move to Mexico? And that's why they moved to Mexico.
It's because they have religious freedom.

Speaker 1 They don't fuck around. No, religious freedom.
They're in the forefront of shit. I bet you the Mormons got an app.
Oh, they probably have an app. Yeah, like.
But, like,

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 The attack on a group of Mormon families in Mexico. So nine women, scroll back up.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Three women and six children, all with dual U.S.-Mexican citizenship, were killed in the attack.

Speaker 1 Security Minister Alfonso Durazzo said at a news conference Tuesday, here's what we know about the attack. The victims were all shot while in the vehicles, while driving.

Speaker 1 Investigators believe the three vehicles traveling between the Mexican states of Sonora and Chihuahua were ambushed by criminal groups.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Wow. Wow.
How did she know they were screaming? Was she there? I don't know, man. I don't think everybody died.

Speaker 1 Five children who were hospitalized in Tucson will survive, while Jessup, whose son 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.

Speaker 1 And they wasn't connected to that dope shit? They got to be. Well, I don't know.
I don't know. Because they said it was a mistake of mistaken identity.
But they always say.

Speaker 1 Because listen, this is why that don't make sense to me. Oh, no, no, no, no, they don't say that.

Speaker 1 It said it's not clear if the attacks were specifically targeted or if the family was a case of mistaken identity. But you don't accidentally shoot the wrong caravan.

Speaker 1 I mean, what's the chances that another caravan looked just like yours? Well, here's what it says: it said, Castanada said there were long-standing tensions between the families and the cartels.

Speaker 1 He said one of the women killed was an activist, and there were frictions over water rights. Oh, Jesus Christ,

Speaker 1 whoo,

Speaker 1 scary, dog.

Speaker 1 I mean

Speaker 1 scary for whoever live down there.

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 I don't know they did that shit somewhere. I mean, I'm pretty sure the dude is a dictator, but he just he just locked everybody up.
Venezuela. It's Venezuela?

Speaker 1 Yeah, they just they they literally imprisoned all the gang members. They just locked every single even if he was a if he was associated.

Speaker 1 They made these giant prisons, and they just filled the prisons up with gang members, and the crime just stopped.

Speaker 1 But that was the immediate effect. Is this still the case now? I don't know.
It's a good question.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Well, it also depends on how many of those people were set up. How many of those people weren't actually in a gang? How many of these people were like, maybe someone doesn't like you?

Speaker 1 I mean, probably a little bit of that going on.

Speaker 1 In that type of situation where it's like a drastic change and they're rounding up hundreds of thousands of people, there's going to be a couple of revenge joints slipped in there.

Speaker 1 Oh, damn, sorry, Jorge. I accidentally put

Speaker 1 crazy. Oh, El Salvador.

Speaker 1 It's not Venezuela. It's El Salvador.
Look at that.

Speaker 1 Oh, my God.

Speaker 1 They just said, fuck it. We're just going to take crime down to zero.
So it's just life in prison? Well, you know what, man? I mean, is this better?

Speaker 1 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 them free power or something.

Speaker 1 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 grow up and your whole family's involved in the gangs, like,

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 It's dark. Well, there's just going to be new criminals.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 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.
Damn. Nothing's going to fix this shit, bro.
We're cooked.

Speaker 1 We passed 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?

Speaker 1 Because I think people are less intelligent in the way they're in large groups. The larger the group,

Speaker 1 the dumber the average IQ, I bet. Like 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.

Speaker 1 And it's just because, you know how I know we're doomed? Okay. Online gaming.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 And how often you come across people that are just completely selfish to the point where

Speaker 1 they'll lose on purpose. And they take the penalty for losing too, but just to ruin your day.
But that's just randoms that you're meeting online, though. Right, but I mean.
You got to cultivate.

Speaker 1 Or you see how people communicate. And obviously, gaming is a certain demographic, but I just mean...
Incels. It just reminds me.
No, no, it's like, like, no, it's not in cells.

Speaker 1 There's regular people out there that just act like assholes when they're anonymous. Because they can.
Yeah. So people who do selfish shit.

Speaker 1 You see these game shows where it's like,

Speaker 1 you know, it's that whole, what's it called? The prisoner's dilemma or whatever. Oh, yeah.
We could all win or I could win. And how often do you see people just go,

Speaker 1 fuck all of y'all?

Speaker 1 And they probably encourage you to do it because it makes for good TV. So look, and I know, look, there's good people out there.

Speaker 1 I meet extraordinary people all the time, now, especially now that I live here.

Speaker 1 I meet people all the time that's like, wow, you like if it was more people like you yes 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

Speaker 1 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 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.

Speaker 1 Surround yourself with people that are exceptional. It gives you like energy in this life.
It gives you like motivation. Yeah, everything got to make new friends.

Speaker 1 I'm not with that either. Some friends are worth making.
Some new friends are worth making.

Speaker 1 But I know what you're saying. I know what you're saying.
You know what I mean? I can make a new friend. I'm very emotionally unavailable.
So I just need friends that don't need that.

Speaker 1 You know what I mean?

Speaker 1 That's interesting you say that because you're very friendly. I don't know why you think you're emotionally unavailable.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 But not maybe emotionally unavailable is not the right word, but I'm very,

Speaker 1 I feel very much burdened by unexpected obligations. Yeah.
So like if you hit me with some last-minute shit,

Speaker 1 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 know, I just exactly

Speaker 1 but you you got to realize that's a transactional situation

Speaker 1 that's a bad situation that's not a situation you you haven't surrounded yourself with people that are like autonomous yeah 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 bro you know what I love being by myself I love I love going to a restaurant alone I love company too but I'll go to the movies alone

Speaker 1 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

Speaker 1 the more people that come, the more shit can switch up.

Speaker 1 That's strong. That's true.
Oh, yeah. And also, you get like all these social dynamics at play when there's a bunch of people together.

Speaker 1 How many times have we eaten dinner?

Speaker 1 What would you say is the perfect amount of people to bring the dinner? It depends.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Oh, right, right. Remember that time? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, and don't forget, Vegas was great. It was a lot of people at that table there.
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 But we knew all those people. Right, right, right.
You know, those all people were like close friends.

Speaker 1 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's generally just fun. There's no, like, one person's trying to get to the top.

Speaker 1 Comics are different.

Speaker 1 But I say, but just, but six is for me. Six is a good thing.
If I hear that it's going to be more than six, now it's like it's going to be separate conversations.

Speaker 1 And what if Bob can't drink? What if Bob starts drinking and he gets real loud? Right. And then you want your

Speaker 1 vegan options.

Speaker 1 And someone's non-gluten.

Speaker 1 Gluten-free, please. Do you have a gluten-free menu? Yeah, but yeah, yeah.
I just, I don't like being

Speaker 1 in big groups. Right.
I know what you mean. I get it.
I get it.

Speaker 1 It's like, you know, like when you're a group of people and then one person has a friend that they tell you is cool.

Speaker 1 Don't worry, Bob's cool. Like, bro, my middle, my middle name could be Who All Gonna Be There, right.

Speaker 1 You invite me to something? Because, because even now, like my, like, Derek and them, they'll invite me to stuff even though they know I'm not coming. Right.
Oh, yeah, yeah, dude, come to the

Speaker 1 but that's also like a reflection on your sense of humor because you're always finding things that are stupid in everything.

Speaker 1 Your act is essentially, let me tell you about some stupid shit.

Speaker 1 I know it's a it's a gift and a curse. Oh, it's a gift.
That's what I say. Like, ignorance is bliss.

Speaker 1 When you notice too much, you can't be happy. You can't possibly be happy.
Or you got to distract yourself with, like, you can be happy for a second when you're on a drug or having a good time. Right.

Speaker 1 But eventually you go,

Speaker 1 how did that fucking helicopter crash into a plane?

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 you think about all these different variables. You know, I used to say that to my students when they would fight

Speaker 1 because a lot of them that were really smart, I would notice they would be much more nervous

Speaker 1 than the dumb kids, martial arts.

Speaker 1 What do you mean?

Speaker 1 Of course it's martial arts, but my dumb ass, my mind went to like

Speaker 1 you teaching in a classroom like a professor. Oh, and they would fight? No.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 You have all those thoughts that are going to go in your head, but you're going to learn something about yourself from doing this. And you're smart and that's why you're nervous.

Speaker 1 And you should be nervous because it'll help you. It'll help you move faster.
I used to use Customado's expression, the Customado, this great thing that he told Mike Mike Tyson.

Speaker 1 He said, fear is like a fire. It can cook your food if you can control it, or it could burn your house down.

Speaker 1 That's what it's like. It's like that, but the intelligent people are the ones that are aware of it.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 They're not blissfully unaware, like a moron, just walking into a cage fight, not knowing they might get knocked the fuck out. You know, not going to happen to me, bro.

Speaker 1 There's a lot of those not gonna happen to me, bro, guys. Yeah, but you can still be world champion and be that person.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Well, you're not gonna talk well, you're not gonna speak well, and like at the end, yeah, at the end, it's gonna be rough because it's amazing to me. Like, that's another thing.

Speaker 1 Like, we talk about like legacy and stuff like that, but but

Speaker 1 MMA-wise, John Jones is like the equivalent to Floyd Mayweather in terms of like how little damage he's taking over. Yes, there were a few fights where they were real rough.

Speaker 1 The Dominic Reyes fight was real rough. He got hit a bunch of times in that fight.

Speaker 1 He got caught a few times by Leota Machita before he put him to sleep. Liotto was catching him a few times.
He hit him with one big left hand. Rashad Evans clipped him with a big right hand.

Speaker 1 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, yeah.

Speaker 1 Well, Rashad knocked Chuck Liddell out cold that punch. Remember? Yeah.
Out cold. One shot.
Was that the first time Chuck Lidell got knocked out?

Speaker 1 No. Chuck LaDell had gotten stopped by Rampage and Pride.
Okay. And then Chuck LaDelle, I mean, he'd been stopped a few times.
I mean, like, I think Shogun stopped.

Speaker 1 No, because Rampage stopped him during his rise. Like, Rampage stopped him when the UFC, when he was a champ in the U.S., or maybe he wasn't the champ, he was like the best guy.

Speaker 1 It was like Tito was the champ for a little before Chuck fought Tito, and everybody knew that Chuck was going to beat Tito.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Ferocious and so aggressive, and just nasty power, and just would throw himself into the wars. Throw himself.
He had an iron chin. So he'd just fuck you.
He'd just throw himself.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 So they had an exchange where they were going to send UFC fighters

Speaker 1 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 Aleister Oveream.
And Aleister Overim was doing really well.

Speaker 1 But Aleister...

Speaker 1 Damn. Chuck stopped Aleister.
Just that bits, though. Rampage used to hit him up.
Oh, bro, this was when Chuck was Chuck, right? This is not like past his prime, Chuck.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 I think he just got on top of him at one point in time. It was a grueling fucking fight, though.
But

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 How tiny that referee is. I know.

Speaker 1 And then it looks like he got on top of him. Yeah, he got full mount, and then they stopped the fight.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 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.
That was Kevin Holland.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah. Yeah, Kevin Holland and him had some sort of a disagreement.

Speaker 1 Yeah, so they don't get that. He don't get like legend status.
Like, well, you got to let it slide? I don't know. Young guys are, you know how they are.

Speaker 1 Because that's like if Randy Couture says something out of pocket. Right, right.
You're a real fighter. Like, you got to go.
He's got to let it slide. He's a legend.
Rampage is a legend.

Speaker 1 You know, it's like, there's a lot of guys.

Speaker 1 When you talk about BJ Penn, talk about him with respect. Yeah, because

Speaker 1 also

Speaker 1 it doesn't look good. No.
You arguing with it. Especially like, I'll fight you right now, like that kind of shit.
Right. That's not a good look.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Especially the guy 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 05 was it 2007 oh wait this is in the UFC though the pride fight was different yeah the well rampage knocked Chuck out that was like 05 probably in the UFC too

Speaker 1 Rampage caught Chuck with a

Speaker 1 right hook

Speaker 1 2003 so then they fought again in 2007 is that what happened show that one.

Speaker 1 Yeah, Rampage knocked out Vanderley Silva.

Speaker 1 He lost to Vanderley Silva twice, though, brutally

Speaker 1 in Pride.

Speaker 1 One of the fights was fucking brutal. Brutal.
Brutal knockout. He got knee in the face and went through the ropes unconscious.

Speaker 1 So this is Chuck and Rampage in the UFC. This is when Rampage won the title.

Speaker 1 And, you know, Chuck had already fought him once and got stopped, so he was wary.

Speaker 1 This is way past his Pride Chuck, right? No, he was in his prime, man. He was still in his prime.
He was the champion.

Speaker 1 Chuck was the champion at this point in time.

Speaker 1 But Rampage was fucking good, man. He was fucking good.

Speaker 1 And just so dangerous.

Speaker 1 Boom.

Speaker 1 And I was saying he's the funniest guy in the MMA. He's very funny.
I actually interviewed him on, I did that UFC show for a while. I forget what it's called.

Speaker 1 But it was, we hung out together, we rolled, we did jiu-jitsu,

Speaker 1 went got something to eat

Speaker 1 but he's very funny dude he used to have this crazy monster truck

Speaker 1 there it is boom

Speaker 1 that's how he won the title

Speaker 1 yeah it was awesome chuck's confused but you know that's what happens you get knocked out you don't don't know what the fuck happened.

Speaker 1 You think you're fine. Really? Yeah, you don't know what happened.
You get shut off. You're like, what happened?

Speaker 1 Like, sometimes guys get shut off, and then they dive for the referee's legs, and they think they're still fighting. They take the referee down.
I've seen the dude swinging at the ref. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 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, it's just chaos. They don't know what they're seeing.

Speaker 1 Referees get hit all the time. Yeah, that's what I was like, look how tiny that.
You see how tiny that motherfucker was? Like, what you going to do?

Speaker 1 What are are you stopping in there? Right. How are you gonna get rampaged off of Francisco? I'm trying to let Herb Dean, like, dive at motherfuckers.
Right, right. Move them.

Speaker 1 Well, you need Herb's a big guy. You know, that's what you want.
Or a strong person. Like, you have to have physical.
I'm going to address you politely.

Speaker 1 Well, imagine if Francis is fighting. If Francis fights.
How are you going to get Francis off somebody? Right. Like, how are you even going to move him?

Speaker 1 And it's like, there's no way that Herb Dean's stronger than Francis and Gano. Impossible.
But it's like, but you got to be strong enough that they feel you.

Speaker 1 They snapped them out. Yeah, you can't be 125 pounds of ramp and refereeing that fight.
I thought that was a woman at first. Mark Goddard's good, too.
He's a big dude. Mark Goddard?

Speaker 1 Yeah, he's great for those big fights.

Speaker 1 I've never 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.

Speaker 1 But I always say the gold standard, Terb. He's the gold standard.
And Big John, when he was doing it, he was the gold standard. He stopped? Yeah, he does commentary now.
John does commentary.

Speaker 1 Well, he's doing it for Bellator, but I think Bellator is now no longer.

Speaker 1 He also has a podcast with Josh Thompson. That's really good.
I've never read that Dana White hated Mezzo. Steve Mazuga.

Speaker 1 Yeah. What happened to him? Does he still reference? I don't know.

Speaker 1 I haven't seen him in a while. Because when I saw him at a kickboxing event many years later, after this, he said, that dude is never going to work again.

Speaker 1 That's wild shit to say and mean it. Yeah.

Speaker 1 People make mistakes. You know? Yeah, but what did he, what was his fuck up, though? He fucked up bad.
He fucked up a few of them.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 When you got a guy like Mark Goddard who almost never fucks up, everybody is going to fuck up. They have the second hardest job.
The first hardest job is the fighter.

Speaker 1 Second hardest job is the referee.

Speaker 1 Third hardest job is probably the judge. My job's easy.
Yeah, and the ref. The ref is, they can only see from one angle.
Uh-huh. So

Speaker 1 we miss shit all the time, and we have monitors. At least the refs have, or excuse me, the

Speaker 1 judges have monitors now.

Speaker 1 They didn't 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 right and it looks like he got knocked down but it really he just got punched on the shoulder and they just fell down that happened in that fight with islam makachev and uh 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 like the shoulder and they tripped legs together and Islam fell down.

Speaker 1 And then Islam got, well, we thought he was hurt. So if you were judging that, I mean, Islam s finished him in the first round.
He subbed him in the first round, so it didn't matter.

Speaker 1 But if you saw that fight and if that went to the distance and you said, oh my God, he's hurting him.

Speaker 1 He's rocking him on the feet. You would maybe score that round for Moikano.
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 also?

Speaker 1 No, they shouldn't be able to hear us. Because

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 You don't want them hearing what me and DC are saying. Right, right, right, right.
You want them like watching the fight.

Speaker 1 Because if we're on someone's nuts, you know, and then this guy's like, oh, he definitely is winning. You know, and maybe the people at home are like, fuck you, the other guy was winning.

Speaker 1 Like, there's a few of those fights. Yeah, some were.

Speaker 1 It's been a while. No, it hasn't.
Since it was like a really questionable one. You know what's an interesting one? Not a questionable one, but an interesting one is Murab versus Umar.

Speaker 1 So Murab, Dwavis-Willy, and Umar Nemergamenov, they go to the distance, five-round fight. Murab winds up winning a decision.
It was on that same card. Yeah.
Amazing fight. Amazing fight.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Umar apparently broke his hand in the first round while still throwing it for the whole fight. He wound up taking Murab down, and nobody expected that.
He got Murab's back.

Speaker 1 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 text about this.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Murab got a couple takedowns, but he didn't do much with the takedown.

Speaker 1 But Daniel had a really good point that at the end of it, Murab's was accelerating, and it looked like umar was starting to get tired see i thought see i tuned in at that point i started that pay-per-view at that third round

Speaker 1 so i hadn't seen the previous two rounds but at the end of the third round umar has murab's back he's behind him and he's controlling him against the cage and he had wound up taking murab 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 murab did take take him down more, and Marab was pushing the pace, and Murab did also land shots.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Because the fourth and the fifth were clearly Murab was coming on strong. Murab was like,

Speaker 1 it was astonishing his endurance.

Speaker 1 Astonishing. His fucking cardiovascular systems off the charts.
It was a good ass fight. His cardio is fucking insanity.
It's insanity. It's like Michael Chandler.

Speaker 1 But I would be very happy to see that fight again. Very happy.
I never see Michael Chandler get tired. Incredible.
Like, remember his last fight when he loved him.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 I mean, his strength and conditioning routines, you can watch them online. They're fucking crazy.

Speaker 1 Cam Haynes went and trained with him once. So 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.

Speaker 1 Some people just have to do that.

Speaker 1 It's also the work ethic, man. You have to have that work ethic because he's been doing it for a long time.

Speaker 1 And to still have that work ethic. That's what I mean.
Even the best people in the world, they get tired of it.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he's not tired of it, man. He's definitely not tired of it.
He's still exciting. I mean, Oliveira is one of the best in the world.
He had Oliveira hurt in that third round. He had him hurt.

Speaker 1 Like, he had some moments in that third round. We're like, holy shit.
like, this is a real fight. And Olivera is as good as it gets.

Speaker 1 He's one of the best submission artists in the history of the sport. And he couldn't get him.

Speaker 1 Yeah. 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.

Speaker 1 Chandler had him real hurt in the first round. Rocked.
On his back, fighting him off in the first round. And then they start in the second round.

Speaker 1 Chandler moves straight to him, and Olivera just pieces him up. Oh, yeah, I do remember.
Yeah, I do remember. Ooh, he hit him with a clean left hook.
It was clean. I think I was there.

Speaker 1 You might have been there. Yeah, man.

Speaker 1 Man, we had some good-ass fights this year. And now, oh, and now Crawford's about to fight.
Yes, he's going to fight Canelo. Oh, man.
I just hope he's big enough.

Speaker 1 I hope he's big enough to keep that dude off him because Canelo hit so hard, man. That's one dude that, like, I believe all the shit he be talking.
Crawford? Yeah. Yeah.
Oh, he's good.

Speaker 1 He don't just be saying shit.

Speaker 1 They tried 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 And when he gets you, and he's also the best guy in the sport at switch hitting. He'll go from South Paw to Orthodox and be just as good and trip you up.
Like, you think he's going to start Southpaw?

Speaker 1 He starts Orthodox. You prepare for Orthodox.
He's fighting Southpaw. He feels like he's got you timed better, Orthodox, he'll switch it up.

Speaker 1 He's super accurate. Oh.

Speaker 1 He just knows so much about boxing, about where to be and what's coming.

Speaker 1 He makes it just, he makes it.

Speaker 1 He's a strategist that's also entertaining. Yeah.
You know what I mean? He's an artist. Like maybe like a young b-hop.
Yeah. It was like just so sharp and made it look almost entertaining.

Speaker 1 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 for him.
