0:00 September. It was Saturday. Oh. thing a little bit yeah i was kind of into that for a while me too um it was a while ago that i It was the thing to listen to. Yeah, Pahrump. But is that what you mean? Oh, Jesus. I might been like he faked people out with this but might live in a regular house See, it's all like fenced in. He's got windmills for electricity wow he's got

3:12 It's so huge. What's that other one? He referenced, he said- What? would take off and leave for six months and just do these tours where he would Yes, he's very careful Like he had some really, really crazy mushroom trips And he's actually a professor. Yeah, like two weeks they had to watch him yeah they'd watch over him oh my god all these undulates who were eating up all the plants as they were growing up.

7:30 And he thinks that these lower primates started experimenting with mushrooms. Well, in low doses, mushrooms enhance visual acuity. It's so quick. Well, this mine doubled over a period of two million years. fire and how to cook meat. Trade. Yeah, which is obviously, like, what we reward in people today. Right, right, right. And that makes you feel like it gives everyone a sense of enlightenment for a moment.

11:50 is like a form of hypnosis when a comedian is like killing over a crowd like it's like a form And you too. And then there'll be a moment where I'll be like, oh, fuck. You know what I always feel like, man? You didn't used to, though, when you'd go to the movies? The film's down. Yeah, man. Yes, absolutely hundred percent because if someone starts talking the movie theory like hey, you're inconsiderate

14:44 Yeah, totally has nothing to do with the movie. You're like Debbie called I'm wearing glasses. You might not even be alive. That's later. hole thing or whatever. And that's fine. 60s or something no no fairly recently yeah fairly recently because the doctors It says it happened in 1965. You might be right. And his body just ate its fat. loss like i lost like around 50 about 55 pounds damn how'd you do that i just started uh lifting

18:37 For breakfast, it's like this, You got some carbs from the oats. Yes, right. I know it gives it a bad rap And don't get me wrong. your on your shoulder you might want to like pull in a little bit with your elbow or whatever just It must come out now. I get that and you can you get that right I feel like you're jerking off on me or something. Yeah. here let me let me capitalize on an idea that was not really delivered at the right timing.

22:55 Debbie just had a good idea as the good person. Debbie's like, this fucking job sucks. Yeah, totally I knew this guy was an asshole Here's my proof that culture of like not like being in a corporate world and like one person is the boss and the other people logistic like efficient making mindset like you want you want you want and and what the value of

24:19 Yes, exactly. Whether it's with climate change or a crazy presidential situation or race relations So I just think that if we can keep it together and we can keep going, I think 40 years from to that um like the reality awareness issue or uh the idea that you know there are multiverses as you move in every choice that you make, that's really going to help all of that is energy like if we can figure out a way to distribute

27:16 Yeah, for sure. country solar panels to charge batteries for cameras and batteries for phones. That's right. might even be more like 30 grand so anyways it's this like fairly lightweight system it's like a how crazy this shit is going to be well i mean you know if you i just got done seeing that uh I can find it. There's Art Belly. It was kind of Art Belly, actually.nowledged. Yeah, unacknowledged. Did you like it? There's Art Belly.

30:18 bit more of complexity or more complexity and you have these this idea of like the secrecy the structure of secrecy and uh yeah Like if they were right if they weren't if it was a native people yeah, I got really wasn't people yeah So no person has ever been able to pull off that level of conspiracy for any length of time. Secret contact you just suck some bees out with a vacuum and take them to a lab to test them.

32:27 like so many things so infinitely uh that things can exist and things are possible however there Why not? We would do it. It's like, well, I don't know. Those gray things, my theory is that the whole, Yeah. Yeah. Also, atmospheric gases, like all, you know, like how they produce energy. say that got boring though? oh that is the show okay we jump around we're like okay so when should we start

36:37 Yeah. Eat, survive. Whoa. Whatever, Earth.. And what are your tasks? Oh, you have to fight ants here. Eat, survive. Yeah, so basically you evolve all the way to spacefaring. They're all based on our observation of the world around us and then utilizing that in some way for ourselves. Um, having control over a representation of your idea of, of a desired reality is crazy.

38:34 Yeah, they're going to put that stuff connected to your head in all these various places. Bruce Willis. Oh, yeah yeah that's right i remember that movie remember that so it's all it's all about telepresence yeah so people were like just Kurt Russell. I mean, it's a Benjamin Button. I you know the one thing that really pissed me off was a Like big tits.

41:09 casual and he's taking out all the bad guys i'm like that's so gross i don't like singing oh yeah You know it's fake. Yeah. I love that shit. protesting his music yeah it was crazy it was like it was like really big and they it didn't Not Richard Thomas. And his whole thing is just insane. And it's such an abstract, weird slice of a way to get to a punchline,

43:59 and when you go to see high movies bad movies just like are offensive when you're high like what Yeah, I did. I think. pit bull. Holy shit. Yeah. Hulk dogs. And didn't he get bigger? look at that thing biting him on the back and didn't he get bigger? appeals to kids like me when I was young, when I was little and worried about the world Oh, yeah. read people saying yeah totally, totally. Totally.

46:56 Are there any more Dilberts out there in the world? Kapp or Dilbert or, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's humor. character comes on, it is... I remember trying to see it, and I couldn't finish it because of Mickey Rooney. Yeah, that's Japanese. people felt like it was offensive to Japanese people that she was culturally appropriating.

49:31 It's grandmother day. Yeah, that's trying to be comfortable. Well, this is definitely weird terrible setup This was the thing. No, it's Japan. It's Katy Perry. happy that someone is expressing Japanese culture and that they're aware of Japanese The fact that you can get sued for anything, anybody can sue you at any time, that's just like, that's American culture.

51:56 abused up the yin yang and there's like professional lawyers that have billboards everywhere but do But that thought process. starts feeding back and feeding back, feeding back. And then you get people so fearful of any whether it's because I want it to look perfect So in the past, like in the Bo Derek days days and Bo Derek wore braids in ten which is really bad before that was that was nobody was

54:47 Cornrows. She was. like max good fucking luck yeah i know good luck i'm just saying you and i can't pull it off i mean making a move and all I don't know. I mean I've I've just said like I know what you're saying Nobody likes to have people mad at them. Perfect timing. Like if that really bothered you to your core, I can't believe he's threatening POTUS.

57:56 Don't want to hear you don't appreciate or respect their intellect, and they're spouting out nonsense The panic that sets in. This fucking bitch thinks she can take our hair? i'm just saying in general it's not that it's not that bad like it's like i can i can actually read what you meant that's all i like i like criticism i don't mind criticism i'm not going to be like

1:00:20 I mean, the ability to communicate with people has its pros and cons for sure. I mean, it's not to say that she's What are you showing me here? cultural appropriation. But yeah, your counts fake off to wear after our booties though It's entirely possible. Absolutely. know who both was very striking but but obviously involved in the music that she She plays guitar and writes original music.

1:03:47 she is a songwriter. She writes her, she composes just might might just because Sure. You think this song is about you. That's a girl that's mad Ooh. like kind of catfish a little bit I mean, I'm totally paraphrasing everything. just like that too targeting them and like looking at their instagram account know where they're Do you remember like always being worried?

1:07:19 form of what the future was going to be like. And the who knows that I'm at right now is just like, fuck, man, i did dude i had an issue for a few years with quake playing online there you go which is really Okay. of these first-person shooters. Cell shaded kind of looks like you're playing comic book puzzle solving and stuff there you go oh yeah and the dude's wearing a gas mask.

1:09:53 I'm playing Divinity 2 right now. There's someone playing it right now. Why is it so compelling? That movie is shot all first-person? and the TV's on, they stare at the TV. This isn't the game. Order encroaches over time and it's a circle comes in and starts killing you as you come in. But it's compelling. They can talk to me while I'm playing they give me tips sometimes i'll miss something

1:12:51 Like it's a setting that you can have. rampage does this too. He's going to, The game with the mechs. It's like a hugely popular game, but I was playing it and it's one of those like massive No, no. You're switching weapons constantly. These fucking kids today. I had a team. I guess that would be something I would try Yeah. Look at this shit. So it's mapped.

1:16:46 There's steam that comes out, you know, kind of like a ride, but you are, the visual component Really? Like daytime players? Yeah. but the actual textures on those chairs, that was all added later. brick wall totally that's what i mean it's not it's not one-to-one it's just like it's just a Wow, look at these people all walking through there. That's so crazy.

1:20:09 for a while it had to be tethered to a pc now they have pc backpacks well now i guarantee you It'll be like Bluetooth five, 15.0. You're like, okay, define your parameters. That's the thing it's kind of stitching it together, blah, blah, blah. so that instantaneously you can have a mapped, almost one-for-one game zone in a giant park. You're like, Jesus.

1:23:09 and they can simulate Dolby 5.1 binaurally, which is insane. for your hearing oh not good for your hearing yeah I like things that are soft on my ears, but I can hear clearly. So I like the ear pods. I'm prepared for them not to sound good almost every time I use them. They're still not falling out and they sound great. like little tiny ones that don't require much power.

1:24:58 I'm like, opened the box really yeah i gotta say they're easy to pair man and it's cool because i just Young James got it right there. What's better? LTE. Now you can leave, brah. So what's the deal with the 3? What's better? Right. But most of the time, you just leave it on the whole day. I think on LTE, what is it, like six, five hours? feel like a rebel i like pushing it man um no wireless pads are gonna be everywhere soon enough

1:27:31 Are you a hedonist? So you want to learn Android. out like oh what's the difference? That's really frustrating And the Pixel 2 is supposed to be even better. Yeah, Galaxy 8 Plus, yeah. so I just stick with the smaller. It is so, it's, the colors are just insane. Why did it say bevel? But that's so much more beautiful than seeing that edge. so that your phone are your glasses.

1:29:36 It's pretty rad. i mean i always get the new i get the new everything from Apple pretty much. it doesn't matter when i accidentally hit the button really it says siri's disabled Would you like to enable Siri? Just learn. It's way faster. There's probably a keyboard combo you can use. And this one is more like it seems like real positive feedback when it clicks in.

1:32:19 touching sometimes especially if you have calluses i guess and if you have sensitive fingers yeah Okay, I don't want that. Yeah, I got an Echo. So as I'm going to bed, I'll just be like, computer, turn lights off. It's coming. How many times have I gone to the bathroom today? It's faster to do voice dictation in to just do what i'd like it to do i don don't need to hear like, okay, you know, the sunlight today is really beautiful, but

1:35:06 I know. If I'm just like chilling, having a good time with friends, I change it to, hey, party person voice. Look what, Jane, we just pulled up. I love it. Demos of, I think it does Donald Trump's voice here but you know that it's him Well, I wonder if they're adding that reverberation, You might get in real trouble Oh, go ahead. that's what we do as Americans

1:38:03 Right, but even if they took speeches, They're probably going to make people have feuds with people. Do the reality TV show editing trick where it's just set off camera and you show somebody's reaction to what they heard. you're not extracting that stuff out No one can use it without your explicit consent. There's... that sound that you're hearing, that shit,

1:40:36 But at that point, why not just hire an Obama impersonator? Well, video, that'll be easy. Law enforcement agencies, including a warrant, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. They're collecting DNA from your screens when you turn your phone in Donald Trump's gonna get crazy paranoid Mark Zuckerberg is to fucking hire Mossad to protect him and his mansion because he feels

1:42:24 He didn't even make it, apparently. It's like, well, it's hard. Oh, I don't know. Eddie Murphy would definitely talk about that a lot. I mean, not briefly, but not his entire life. i i think i think that he just had he had an idea of what to do with it so and that's but i don't Who the fuck used Friendster? It's, yeah, it's still there, but it's owned by someone else.

1:44:14 Friendster living the game. Friendster is Over the years, we have built a vibrant community and received valuable support and encouragement. made the decision to take a break and two years, you're not taking a break anymore. And then for the internet, I mean, multiply that times 10. were like the coolest they were really cool justin roiland and i hung out one night and we were like

1:46:00 That's crazy. The people go to a place. Yeah, like Rolling Stones or something like that. Oh, yeah. They did that curved screen projection technology. There to do was have him be a hologram. Oh, yeah. It's very lit when he performs. wild child. They have like pop stars, artificial intelligence. Can you imagine if you went somewhere to watch a hologram?

1:48:10 Unless it's someone who doesn't live anymore. When they did the Tupac one, they had him like a CrossFit Tupac. Yeah, come on, dude. Is that video footage? It's a body double. his recorded performance from the 90s. This guy looks like an MMA fighter. He's built like Ty He was wiry. Yeah, but this guy's not wiry. This guy's jacked. Yeah, he's a little jacked. This guy looks like an MMA fighter.

1:49:32 Captain Jacked. Between the real Tupac and the fake Tupac? and then they got overzealous when they went to give them six packs and pecs. It's like I want something that looks like the thing. Yeah, but that's not really. oh i know like you can't be fucking around at all not even slightly no it's just like all like straight protein super clean like just

1:51:49 or would you tell them to fucking slim you down? and we got to watch it, you'd be... They have this thing that spins around you and takes photos of you from all these different precise angles. that's that's what a person looks like I mean your face does look a little uncanny Valley. Yeah, but Yeah, Game of Thrones do it does it with wolves? Yeah, and they have to be real careful how they shoot it

1:53:35 What is this, James? that I'll try to put it oh is that the stunt guy yeah this is the stunt guy and then they kind of And then this thing later here in a second will show you how all the cameras that they used to get his actual face. I did not question any of that shit, man. saying. Oh, now it does? Yeah, to me. You know and he absorbs the bullet and keeps going and cuts the guy's head off with his with his claws

1:55:50 just the fight scenes were incredible. and the pavement gets torn up just as an example somebody actually does make contact or has had experience in that the the some like that's one of the things that i found almost eerily impressive about john wick john you know, running three gun training They're using a specialized team of martial artists to create a customized version of martial arts just for him. My friend Higin Machado did a lot of the jujitsu choreograph choreography for it that's who

1:58:41 having like you know creeds and accords so it's already in that world. Yeah, so you just need to create so much i love the stunt driving and that's not cg that's him that's a 51 year old man Right. it's like, john wick movies did is they took that they boiled down the story to like there's no there's no Because it's really, that's what it is. i don't even know cinemax was real anymore i know there's too many networks i know skinemax people

2:01:34 It doesn't look right. It's like the man was in the wrong spot. He's way too low. What is he doing? You know, it's like the man was, uh, Yeah. They were all like. It would fuck these dudes in hotels and these movies. They were asleep up there. That's right. And like some more shit. Yeah, breasts are okay. You don't know Ari Shaffir? She's getting acupuncture.

2:03:48 dude i remember these movies what is that she's looking out the window maybe there's some dick what was going on there yeah it was the the beginnings yeah beginnings of figuring out the loophole between pornography and romantic movies. I'm horny. I didn't know you were coming. I'm so sorry. Yeah. Yeah. Stupid hobby She's 80 now They hear that story

2:06:23 salt he wasn't overweight he was And I just happened to be there with a friend of mine for Christmas. Yeah, well, I know that certain amounts of fats and certain fats are awesome for you and some are terrible. To this day, people think saturated But I'm just saying there's so much of it. When fat people, or rather when people eat saturated fat, the risk of stroke drops.

2:09:23 saturated fat consumers have a lower risk of stroke, and their triglycerides come down too. It's only true in combination, but you extract the one that we know to be bad because there's We did, but we didn't know how bad they were. That thing was widely criticized by scientists. Their research is kind of shitty. and it's tainted yeah i mean that totally makes sense i mean that's something that i

2:11:44 but a good percentage of the protein, I should say. Like pea protein is really good. Right. People are apparently catching salmonella, though, from backyard chickens. So people who do that. So they're closer together. be careful if you don't know what's going on. I do like salmon. I like coho salmon, like, fatty fish, like salmon, supposed to be the best for you? I do like salmon.

2:13:40 Like, I just want a basic. If you're in the shade, you're going to freeze your dick off. But if you're in the cold, in the shade, you're i'll dry off i'll be fine yeah but if you're in the cold in the shade you're fucking freezing that water's cold man you're so fucked like several times in its life man that would be something to ask a stochastician like you're

2:15:36 Yeah. very much even though i do you mean although i will say i'm really stoked about memphis meats Jesus Christ. Yeah, I thought you cared. know that's a real common thing recently um you know about that lone star tick disease no people They literally become allergic to eating meat. what they don't do is differentiate what kind of red meat. They don't make a differentiation

2:18:48 double cheeseburger with fake bacon and just dripping with funk and sugary corn syrup. eating red meat and living a healthy life and eating with vegetables and having a, what Right. pastrami sub it feels great while it's going down but then afterwards you feel like shit With a lot of blue cheese on the top. Well, I don't know about that. It's really nice because it's a very lean cut.

2:20:34 Okay. A little blue cheese with a little crumbled blue cheese with some fucking look at you It's so much better tasting than filet mignon. After the store? I have not, no. Yeah. methane that totally the problem is we don't need cows anymore. We'll have to start murking those cows Oh, my gosh. if they really want to get bold if they released a bunch of wolves over there they take care of

2:23:51 And they, they don't look very, very friendly. things all the time i know and you could die oh i've had friends yeah run into meese and uh Yeah, I mean fucking flying like, 30 feet through the air. It might not have, man. Yeah. Oh, my God. That's probably totaled. So I mean there's like so many things you They're doing that on- mountain lions on the ocean side and they're breeding too much with the mountain lions

2:26:45 i mean they're gonna like uh you know put dirt there and yeah i've seen those they look great always find water and if i was social enough i could definitely gain the trust of people to be You can't gloss over it with a cleanup. be good for you are you breathing that in yeah good what do you got over your face like one of They poured that on there, didn't they?

2:29:05 Just like an issue with the website. What's up with all those Facebook things like right in front of it? Just like an issue with the website? Microbes can eat oil. I hope so. Bacteria are evolving to eat plastic we dump into the ocean. Yeah. No. It's like an underwater frog. Because it's like, it keeps it closed to stay in camouflage. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

2:31:13 Meanwhile, the octopus is like, Nobody gives a fuck. Oh, whoa. It's so cool. The cuttlefish. look at this octopus as it's on the ground encephalopod these things are just they've adapted so cool a way to The one, the memory one. The Arrival? I know. Yeah. So why wouldn't we assume that information would travel from alien to alien like that? everything is just pure consciousness.

2:34:38 It's all we are. what we need to concentrate on Well, your body literally is an avatar what we're going to do is we're just going to get in the hot tub with our biological transport. I'll sit over here. like right above their tits thanks man the situationists they were kind of like a philosophical um artistic movement in the 50s And they would navigate by looking up at the buildings as opposed to street level.

2:37:12 when you don't ever say it like that again, they were, No, that's interesting. Yeah. Where? with the Twitter thing showing up right there That's amazing. And you walk into this garage, But it was also done in a style that would have been situationist. yeah basically but someone who's doing it on purpose, which is even more annoying. He wouldn't necessarily maybe have described himself as that, but he's a perfect example of that.

2:40:22 when I see it I'm like it's's a little bit of a con it's like It's always weird when like people push back What the fuck is that? There was another guy, there was another guy who was, like, famous for that kind of shit. And people would travel from all over the world to go stare at Piss Christ. theater in the small poncho hall theater and you could just sign up for it and you could do whatever you wanted and one day it was like all the kind of i guess i would call them performance art

2:43:30 sounded it you saw people doing things on stage but all you could hear was for for like uh probably an hour and uh and there and uh i i had earplugs in and and everybody Same exact concept, essentially. So for me, when I see duration pieces, things that test people's patience, I love it. Right. is fine too i mean it's not not for it's not not for everybody nothing nothing is right it's and

2:46:18 There's people that are Tig Notaro fans. results may vary yeah results may vary but like you know if you know it's just like it's a and there was sincere appreciation for the songs they were playing and there was this authentic thing to it versus like a jack FM station Yeah, yeah, yeah. Radiolab, yep. most books I've read. What station is that? Yep.

2:49:20 They got a new location, but they're like one of the most influential radio stations That's a good Rollins impression. definitely Definitely geared more towards the kids from the 1990s if you remember that time period this is a new one from you know Like, we need more of that. Not as much. I mean, sometimes I'll Spotify now and you got all that shit, which I don't really dig, but not as much. I mean, I sometimes I'll do a radio station on Apple music, but I like choosing, I listen to albums. So I listened to an album for a long time and then

2:51:07 I mean, that's why, like, anything I look at, like technology, it's like we're still kind of primitive. That's like suit. Bring that chalkboard over here. No. And then keep them out of all the other places. That's what a bar should be. You're going super old school. Yeah, totally. I love that. Oh, yeah. Sounds good. They're going to crash into a school or something like that.

2:54:03 Like you can, Like if you buy a 1973 Porsche, which is only like 150, 200 horsepower engine, if those things are in good shape, they're worth a fuckload of money now. You feel the force against the wheel as opposed to an interpretation. You don't feel anything. You know, those little tiny boxy things. So you don't get, I mean, it's not loud, but you get this great fusion of like, you've got the classic car look, but you've got the speed and the pickup.

2:56:13 underbody. Yeah, it's like an electric muscle Motor for each wheel. And, or no. the the that thing's beautiful yeah it's like it's crazy and so it does uh it it definitely does um and so on there's like some like young rich guys that always do car stuff but i like that guy he's Now where does one get one of these remax? Interesting. So if you're driving like a maniac.

2:59:43 Yeah, and so they did it remotely, and they gave these to have a 250-mile gas tank I don't like that. I just don't think it's cool. Or they're like, buy it for a small price now, and if you want to pay more later, we can unlock more battery potential. That's what really what it is sure because it's the same exact battery pack But it's like also the same as like getting a video game and you're like I've got the video game and they're like would you?

3:02:05 I don't know if that's, is that a real thing? Dude, you're looking at it like the man. I know people were talking a long time. That's crazy. Remember that shit? Fuck. Time travel. We were time traveling. Bye.
