0:00 no better person to be here at the end of the world than you reggie wads no no finer human Yes. We tried. It's like, did you see that in India, the monkeys stole the coronavirus samples from the lab? I don't know. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh my goodness. Yeah. I'll pull it up. I did, I did. He rode up Yeah, they're really strong.

3:21 It's not walking away. Is that 100% sure? What the fuck, man? But maybe if monkeys saw, like, it's a small motorcycle too, right? Monkey see, monkey do. Look at this monkey. So it is Indonesia. I think I got it. They're entering into the Stone Age. Yeah, man. We were that. Yeah. Yeah too we were that yeah yeah we were better. primates. But there was one gorilla that could really talk up a storm.

6:46 Yeah, look at this. I mean, imagine if... Bring it to some sort of a rescue center because it developed like a very unhealthy Of course. Yes. Can't find accuracy of it But one of the weird parts about it is that it liked to walk on two feet. Dude, it's creepy. I'm going to put these on. Look at that one. reason why there was all the speculation that maybe it was like some sort of a hybrid it makes

9:30 Yeah. we've only been around in this form for somewhere in the neighborhood of 250,000 to 450,000 years or something like that. Something happened. Yeah. There's probably a bunch of lichens, like hybrid fungus and molds that work synergistically. Oh, man. chunk flies off it gets sucked into our gravity and slams into Earth. Yeah. And if that can happen and you can get some fungus on that, some sort of spores.

11:38 I know. You know, like someone like shaped it with like a paper mache. It's like, what a fucking freaky looking nose. What a fucking weird, and it's got little legs I mean, if they're atoms, if it's using energy and it's creating energy it's like you know then then there's sentience and the t-cells from the human being and uh take bits of tardigrade and we are able to integrate

14:37 It's like, you know, I was talking to a friend about it. How crazy is that? If you want to talk about the history I think so. operate from that i go for the character first Then if I start to detect there's something else Thanks a lot. What's a big city that's near? your family was in the military? Yeah, my dad, yeah. Holy shit. us. Yes. We will absorb your bases. And the United States is like, oh, no, we'll get out of there

18:06 And then when I was four years old, we had a choice of two places to go to. It's not weird. It's weird that you have to like be assigned a patch of dirt. I haven't decided. outlandish because his family was on the road all the time as well right yeah same same sort of deal I was a non-citizen of the world, and then I became an American citizen. pro-second amendment for sure like me you know I find like you and I have very big parallels on

20:55 And I don't ever want to have to use a gun, ever, on a human being, ever in my life. in its most fundamental state is just essentially trade. And so then they're they're kind of dictating the value, blah, blah, blah, blah. all hear about gun owners are supposed to be taught. And so growing up with guns, I didn't I wanted to, I was interested in training and overcoming my fear of handguns. And, um, and so

24:08 Which part of me is like, if you're a responsible gun owner and you respect firearms, that seems kind of normal. of like crazy guns but um he is a prosecutor and has to have security when he when he goes to cases and you have to like pass these tests. And there are many kinds of firearms. learn how to use a gun before they buy it. And I'm sitting down with them.

27:00 And you just told everybody. I don't, I don't, I don't think so. The law says you're allowed to open carry so you can have this gun outside your house. Like and some people are great at education. Yes. You know, education is the, that's the key, right? Yeah. Like, and, and some people are great at it. first of all, can borrow a gun like you can't loan someone a gun you can't you people that are anti-gun

28:53 Go to a gun show then. And to me, it's always about awareness. market guns and their problem with guns and their communities. That's all you're talking about. There's a trimount for the silencer. and gunfights and firefights, that is one of the most traumatic things but when they do and they do fire it, And I understand when someone comes into your house, all bets are off.

32:53 They're shooting them at fucking reporters. You see those reporters your reporters interviewing these people and like ah, what the fuck? Please clear the area. Right. to that they can relate to. So they understand the police are there for the protection. Then the And there are powerful people out there that handle it and handle it well, and they're great cops.

35:27 It's like a choke, like a jujitsu choke. Abuse forms that were yeah uh claims against him over the years yeah i know and expect police departments to get better if police departments aren't allowing themselves to get better? And this female officer gets in the guy's face and starts yelling at him. Look, there's a lot of people that shouldn't be cops.

38:08 put him in that situation with those people yeah that same aggro attitude Let's try to heal this community. think stop think which is a natural kind of biological instinct and it's a rebalancing. well, they kind of get in on that wavelength Look, this is, I'm going to send, Jamie, I'm going to send you one that Eddie sent me. Yeah. Who leaves a fucking free car out for people to just take?

41:01 protesters and then these three people I never saw this. So there it is. Yes. There's many stacks of these bricks. It could be possibly performance art. And then they're turning these people in like these people are smashing things. There's no gray area. Like the same wardrobe that cops wear. So this cop is going around while these peaceful protests are going on,

44:21 Is he inciting this? that you hear about, white supremacists and stuff like that because those people they're just not helping in any way and i'm yeah here's a good one see They pass him over to the police, too. They're like, hey, fuck you. you know they're basically they're like we're doing this this is our time and you know that like air force place or something like that.

46:55 It's all just love based I mean, a tiny bit, ambition, but not a lot. and was like shaking the can and going like what are you doing here with this kind of a vehicle Yeah, but that's your property. whatever symbol on the side of the car, which I don't, you know, it's like, it's a funny thing. Not when you're destroying history and you're destroying.

49:00 Boom. Like, harness the energy for real, That's not what you're dealing with bought yes yes of i mean without a doubt i mean here's the thing it's this is what's so weird these subprime mortgage loans and the housing crisis and everything went chaotic. People lost And then everybody says, look, these people are all full of shit. billion dollar movie where this guy

52:42 windows and burning things, part of you and where these marches are supposed to go by, Well, he's during his speech who is essentially saying that if they didn't call in the National Guard Which, it's the left wing because they want it to make it. Hitler burned the Reichstag. against the wto yeah and this was in seattle yeah i was there okay so when you were this was in Seattle. Yeah, I was there. Okay. So when you were, this was, you were there

55:34 pushing over post office boxes, It was crazy. They used military people. These bricks, this is horseshit. And it's like again, you know when it when it comes to stuff like that want, but you get more. And that's what I don't understand the virus of doing evil badly. That's That's 5D chess. Like the way, even the way Trump talks about it, you know, he talks about using dogs.

58:59 He's going to take care of us. No, no. positions it's just it's just hot air be a great episode of black mirror oh my god yeah i know so this is what you're going to do. Totally. that would be amazing. And making fun of him while she's fighting him. we break it down to one versus one. He'd fuck everybody up. Oh, I cuz he'd be the master cheater. Well. He knows how to fight. He's a black belt judo

1:01:54 he's clearly skilled. That guy, that was a little weird It looks weird because it's When I watch him maneuver, there's no doubt about it, he's skilled. I mean, Trump would probably get taken out with one slap, an open-handed slap to his I mean, on a human, And one of the questions was like, I don't like Putin, and you put yourself, all right yeah you got me seems all friendly at first and then like a week later you're like in

1:04:46 And he said, I mean, it's a power move. He put it on and he goes, I can kill someone with this ring. Oh. people like Bolsonaro or Bolsonaro or Trump or any of these like kind of strong arm, you know, that they, they think that that's the way that I wonder if he killed somebody with it. I just, I so hate it. Insane. It's a gift. Oh my gosh. Insane. Insane.

1:07:30 you know, He loves that the ring is in the Kremlin. You could have a gay old time back then. Lost rings from celebrities. What? A couple years ago? Where did this come out? It's about to go down. super legit actor like in platoon he was in some fantastic movies yeah he was in hot shots i don't know if Oh, boy. We should have a viewing party for that movie.

1:10:38 They didn't give a fuck, did they? Yeah, it's coming up, too. He might have been in The Wraith. Oh, my Lord. I have one out there that has a little bit of it. Oh. sliding that you know how to time. 964 going around a corner. You let It's like, oh boy, guys. 5 Series. But when you go around a corner with this, if the ass end kicks out, you correct real easy.

1:14:05 on like you feel when it slips away a little bit you it's you feel very in control of it like you could if you took it around a racetrack and you start sliding and drifting a little bit you'd There's this one crazy video of this it's another entry. Oh my lord. But these cars But these cars, you can, when they spin, when the ass end spins, you just correct.

1:15:37 And it kind of reminds me of like- Remember Cannonball Run from the 80s, the movie? She had a really amazing run. Once it turns green, then you can go forward on the course. Executive producer sure he's the wrong. Yeah. Yeah, what is she what I think? I think she's just in it. She's a drift freak it's, they can patch them up between runs, and then there's like another race right after that.

1:18:06 He probably reads. Do they have a specific kind of car that dominates these things? and they're competing against each other. Oh, that right there. Yeah. Yeah. You know I forget the woman from Florida, but you know she killed it on one of her runs This guy's a monster. That's so dangerous. The most insane, I want to say, is a 65 Mustang? Oh, really?

1:21:24 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Makes it four-wheel drive. It's man. Man, racing spirit, man. and Ayrton Senna was famous for having these spectacular instincts, but ultimately died in a crash. And I think they did some different modifications to the suspension. It was slow, bro. my mind oh no i was thinking of um acura integra that seems Yeah, really great car had two of them actually. Oh wow. Yeah, I had one with the flip up lights and then there he is

1:25:21 know? And that's why with that 275 horsepower engine you know for the know i love the i mean i saw that finally saw that ford um ferrari movie i still haven't seen it i we're going to, uh, it's the whole thing is very, They're too much you have to like go into this special thing where you have to like you have to know somebody who gets you It's a good one.

1:27:51 Oh, really? kind of just like a classy, chill, kind of, yeah, like a luxury sedan is what it was. Somebody's lying to you. No, no, no. There's cocaine in your car. Yeah. Or under the bonnet, I guess you would say, because of the rear. That's right of performance that that car has under the hood? Yeah. Right. That's it. It's super sexy. I get feels.

1:31:06 But the sports exhaust was one. Yeah. Yeah, the surround view when you're backing up, that's a lifesaver. I will not see it. I'm not going to see about anything else. Oh, damn it. No, no. I'll get to it for you. So you just buy it. that are in this shit that's nonsense yeah but this is not a nonsense car And this car is so civilized. Well Tesla does autopilot. That's it's a whole nother leg. That's home. That's my favorite. That's my absolute favorite

1:34:36 it's starting to recognize uh traffic lights um so you will get a warning when a traffic light's But nothing is automated. you know, something will happen in the world will completely change and they'll have no access to my resources and I'll just go back to just and education, education, education. And then this is all compounded by all these videos.

1:37:18 So as he's sitting there in his car, they're shooting pepper canisters, whatever the fuck Like, why? This is not like this guy's a threat to humanity. like that fucking sheriff from Flint. Yeah. Talk to him, apologize. Yes. And then keep constant conflict yeah and so you don't weed out the people you act actually actively recruit You can also be a police officer.

1:40:21 To like us you know so-and-so's blah blah blah blah it's like oh no Did you ever see the documentary The 7-5? mean he was driving a corvette and selling drugs and helping but I mean yeah shit that you wouldn't believe it was in a movie and it was all I mean, yes. And then there were all like those purges that happened throughout the years. it was suge knight that was involved oh my god yes crazy yeah well you know police department

1:42:42 He also made Screwball, that recent documentary on A-Rod. It's a genius movie. He's a paradox. murdered or went to jail That's so insane to me. And everybody was committing crimes and helping people commit crimes and hiding millions of Yeah. Because they were all just funneling cocaine money and laundering it. I mean, again, it comes back to the same thing.

1:45:09 It's like a concert center. Most of it is stopping people from bringing in booze So this drunk kid stole this golf cart. Yeah. and people that were into Neil Young that were like into getting fucked up, man. these dudes just started fires People started fighting. and i drove home that night and i'm like well that was an experience i did a few months as a

1:48:10 why am I talking to this guy like this? Right. I didn't have a weapon. Yeah, I never beat anybody up there. There was no real thing right? tiny streets winding or whatever you know it's different than being like a cop in like from my communicate with police officers like there's never a time when i get pulled over and i know Cause for them, they're like, I'm just stopping you because this or, or whatever.

1:51:06 PTSD. for why you're being pulled over why take the risk yeah um you know the cop just wants to get the Yeah. No doubt about it. at the super bowl i know and this fucking guy kneels on this guy's neck and You know, it's like when there's a corporation involved, it's tough for people to speak out. yep yeah but it's like you you're the face of the company.

1:55:38 You have to take some kind of a position from a humanitarian point of view. And I think that I'm When in actuality, the only reason why you would make decisions like that are really just to protect the bottom line. the responsibility of a social media platform is enormous. It's enormous. The consequences you can't dox people, you can't threaten people, you can't say anything racist or sexist or homophobic or

1:58:37 When you just eliminate it, then they go off and it tends to strengthen their resolve. as the left wing ones, but if there was, and they just decided we're not going to tolerate But conversely, you do see that from people who are left-wing zealots who are angry about people who have right-wing ideas and maybe even not so right-wing. She was having online where she with someone on twitter and she said but a man is

2:00:31 So if you're a person who is a left-wing progressive zealot and you let people correct her Well, you know, and my thing is like I'm not exactly I'm not saying I'm not saying to censor. And there's just like all of these, you know comments that are some of just troll people just trying to get comment and be like, oh, that guy's an asshole or whatever and never say anything. And there's just like all of these comments

2:02:02 I'm just, I guess I'm biased Well, because he stole the ideas. I think it's because it's arbitrary. kind of describe his decision-making process processes and so forth. And I don't get a sense that he understands Are you open to anybody being able to comment back to you and say whatever they want? Oh, yeah, yeah. Like once someone comes in and says, hey, we would really like it if you remove those

2:04:52 Yeah. uh, there's, there are always going to be problems cause there's, cause there's going to be all But I have other artists that are interested in making an app, but apps are notoriously cost prohibitive. intercommunicate with one another without the need of Facebook, Instagram, People can't comment on anything. It's not owned by any of these corporations.

2:07:55 It also encourages verbose dialogue. I haven't done Facebook in like nine years and eight years, And I'll say the only good thing about Facebook is Oculus. What have they done to it? It's algorithmical. I don't think so. right? Oh yeah. he's uh an internet privacy guy yeah and i've gotten really deep into this lately let me find Really? Oh, here we go.

2:10:44 Where is this fucking? No, I put it in there it didn't show me Well, this is... where you're at. Okay. But I see on library right in the middle it's not showing me through Oh, you got that. Whenever that shit happens, it's bad design. Fairphone? Rob Braxman Tech. So he takes these 2019, and I think that's the most recent you can buy, like a Motorola

2:13:58 But that's not his main website. VPN F-droid. Find his website, though. Yeah, that's it. He's letting you know. something's wrong I don't know what data and you know I mean, I'm going to do everything I can to protect myself. I'll do as much as I can without getting overly geeky where if I know hackers and programmers and coders, you're going to use those things,

2:17:19 mix it with google data and then sell it to whoever would like to buy it to use it for How many times have you been talking about something and then you have ads on your phone every time Yeah, of course. It's like, what is he doing on his app? I don't even do that anymore. It was still active. I don't really care necessarily about that. That would be a really smart move for them because I think they'd probably generate additional

2:20:20 Yeah, because very rarely, very rarely do they suggest something to me that i'm interested i feel like we have to accept this new reality yes that you know privacy is one day going to that we already do inherently. That's why we communicating without words, like on the dance floor is a perfect example of like one of them Porsches where the ass end goes out.

2:22:23 Stay away. You don't think that there's like, there's benevolent choreographers that'll help you? and then the next you're in a bathtub with no liver. No. I really do. I mean, i think this is a terrible blip in our our civilization and yeah i think we've had terrible blips in the past and we've gotten over them the problem right now is we're Yep. Yeah.

2:24:50 Just a little bit of an escape from this tired realm into a land of infinite possibility of It's changed their ideas about law enforcement because we're no longer worried about jackbooted thugs knocking down our door because we like to smoke a plant that makes us Yeah, all those really fucking profound world dissolving ones. Transform it into a part of yourself that makes you stronger. And, and psychedelics really,

2:27:11 natural organisms we're part of this planet this planet is a part of a solar system the solar system And the more insecure people are, the more they want to define what is allowed and not But we kind of like he commented on something I was wearing or something like that. Yeah. do you know who daryl davis is no daryl davis a guy, he's a brilliant guy. I've had him on my podcast before.

2:29:44 And the guy was like, you play, you know, you're a really good musician. And he goes, you haven't? Let's talk. So if you're a dumb dude who's in the KKK and you're talking to this guy who you've, He has them over for Wizard and all these different outfits. The podcast with me and him. It just happened. cool. What? you know, it's like the first time you meet,

2:32:22 uh, with so many people of all different kinds of walks of life Or brave enough to explore with them. individual you know 100 100 i mean it's funny when i had my car dropped off in montana like but all of these neighbors came out and people came down from the street, you know, and they're just like, oh, what's going on? I was like, and taking the time to spend with people it does so much for a community like most people solve

2:35:45 Bye, everybody.
