0:00 the joe rogan experience train by day joe rogan podcast by night all day That's actually pretty accurate right now, I guess. Okay. We did over $100 million this year. I don't know what that means. Yeah, what does it mean? I think it's going to be like email. Yep. That's fair. It's called Constitution Dow. Hold on a second. Did you know the DAO thing?

3:29 No, no, no. or one of these. And it was like $40 million. How does it go to anything? Could you imagine? It's free and legal. of like organize very quickly around sort of like a goal and so that's where if you had like a dow I don't want to do that. Do you know much about charities? I know Well, it's bloated. worst charities in terms of like how much you donate where it actually goes yeah you know

7:30 the wealthy people are supposed to be donating. sort of, you know, kind of keep tabs on. So it's there's a lot of different ways to like kind of like use this technology to interact with your sort of like fans or like since i've been paying like Who's the who thinks Obama's a Satanist and then you go and look into it and you're like, oh, this isn't even a real person.

9:19 It's a bot, yeah. She went over hundreds of thousands of memes, and a lot of them were actually funny. They're fucking busy, right? And that kind of filters. And it's like these things are very new. And yeah, there's going to be downsides to How did you find It's done that day. Is your wife like, hey, fuck face, take a day off. So she's seen the whole thing when nobody gave any fuck about what I was doing.

12:34 It went a little fucking hockey stick at the end here. a year ago this was sort of like i was already i'd already done 20 years of art and build you know a couple million followers on you know social media and stuff and sort of like I had already done 20 years of art and built a couple million followers on social media and stuff. Like mechanical Trumps with things off of his

13:40 from last night? it's kind of like a sort of like 3D space. place whatever sort of like I saw that i saw Okay, I got to interject sometimes. Okay, so a 3D model of a dick is basically just a – I'm trying to like – it's kind of like a representation in like a game sort of like engine of a like dick. There's just sites where you can just It's just like two seconds.

16:19 They're the like biggest one. Yeah. Go back to all the images. And a lot of times I usually just run out of time because it has to be done by midnight too. There's never sort of like, oh, okay, I'm staying up till 3 a.m. It's sort of like I've got a bunch of things. I can also put lights wherever I want. And then I also run it through a filter that makes it look more like a painting.

20:42 and they were just like sort of like colors and shapes, like no weird sort of like people or anything like that. Nobody was there was no way to sell it. And so like Louis Vuitton came and they were just sort of like okay we want to put the every days on the like clothes and it was just Yeah. Both of you guys are on the same level of spectrum. A lot of people listening don't know what the fuck.

22:43 I did not. These are actually... First of all, I'm like, do you live on Tatooine? You are sending mixed messages. depending on how she answers the questions all right can you imagine yeah it's definitely And like so popular that they were like not cool to use because it's like, Yeah. where you're going through like a pond It's like a perfect loop that will just keep going forever.

25:24 No, no. But I like making the clips, and so it's sort of like It's just animated. Very, very time consuming. And through a company in L.A. called Possible, they sort of have hired me for a bunch of different stuff. So I think I found out about you from, Yeah, that's when I found out about you. Well, or just have models because it's No, he's like a guy.

28:12 Well, they know you need it. in a positive way in the 90s. A hundred percent. and there's a bunch of guys that talked about it. Show me this image that compares Nancy Reagan to Madonna at the same age. Who wrote this? she got mad at 50 cent. Nancy Reagan is 64 in that picture. But look at that image. For sure. photoshopped shit. I don't think it's... Okay, you don't think

31:41 secret Madonna fan? We found a And Nancy Reagan is with her whole grandchildren and shit. Good martinis. It will be interesting. audio and video um and so slowly i've sort of like the tools have gotten much more sophisticated that Amazing. assimilated into a technology and then they share their information and it's just like multiplying But for regular photos, it's totally unnecessary now.

34:34 No, no. And they specifically programmed it for the moon. around with the stuff, there's way And the real phones, like in terms of like smartphones is 2007. So really 14 years. They charge super fast. Super fast. But you remember they had the Note? I think it was the Note 7. Didn't they specifically say on airplanes, like, if you have a plane down. Yeah, I mean, that's the thing.

37:21 You know, there was, well, there was also are crazy too they've got like 2000 megapixel cameras and like crazy stuff it doesn't necessarily You'll be able to zoom way in. That it's basic, like, you know, 20 years from now. Yeah. It says, is that skill? concerned for that phone incidents but it said 100 maybe this was in the early days what year It says it right there.

40:10 That's wild, dude. But that's what it looks like when it catches fire? That would be fucking terrifying. I would just get the fuck away from it. Well, no, it was a battery. about just getting back to what we're talking about the technology is getting to the point Yeah, they can do that on the iPhone. Yeah. But it's, like, if you see something shot on video, one of the things that makes it look cheap is that you can see everything.

42:26 Yeah, yeah. I'm not a basketball player. I'm done. I don't like it. Hanging out with actors. But the other ones are fucking exhausting. So this is what's absolutely wrong with Los Angeles. That's why they want to be actors in the first place. So you go into a room and you want everybody to like you, first of all. It's time to throw down. What are you worried about?

45:50 I got to hear this. It doesn't make any sense. It's so ridiculous. audition for. That was a show called You did nothing before news radio. A develop- Yeah. Oh, okay. It's from stand- up. I had a development deal. And so I did that. And If you want to be a heart surgeon. Oh, yeah. A little sweetie. My point is I got very lucky. is, that system is crazy.

48:27 That's crazy. I'm out. you have to say what you have to be very liberal. Like, you know, you want trans women competing because they're regular women. Like, that kind of thinking is what happens I don't give a fuck what they, what their thing is. someone being vulnerable, and you can snipe I've been in hunting camp with him. We were there for a week.

50:57 Sure. He's, you know, what else has he done other than the Guardians of the Galaxy? this Navy SEAL James Reese, That's for Amazon or something like that. Sure, sure, sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, this guy's annoying. There's more mentally ill people, but there are a lot of bots for sure and i think there's a lot of people who just feel That it's sort of like, feel sorry for those people because it's like, that person's not in a good place.

54:24 But not all things. at you yeah it makes it seem like it's about you when it's like okay that's really not about you Yes. Have you noticed, Jamie? Oh, you have one, half a baby sip of this McCallum 18-year-old scotch. I enjoy alcohol. I mean, I don't drink a lot. This? I'm not making this up prior to opening the box for the first time bro what the fuck is

57:51 Bro, you want to try to kill my balls? Can you get it with that camera maybe? Dig a Chad, yeah. Replace it with uh. Elon's going to see this and hit the gym. on this side of it? What is that? And this sets on that? There's like a... You have a hair sample? There's a hair sample in there. It's a little bio. What are you supposed to do with the hair sample? Yeah. From who? From me. You have a hair sample?

1:00:34 That's where it plugs in. Okay. Yeah, some sort of a plastic – like a mini iPad that has this beautiful image of a jacked Elon Musk in his underwear. This one, this extra one. There we go. that's very dope yeah thank you very much that's super cool yeah so this is sort of like one of I don't know if we can keep it on the desk because it's quite, Like it sat right there. That's not too bad.

1:03:21 Probably the rest of my life. And what does it do? It is, but, I mean, time. Look at that. Scroll down, please. The idea that people And it was the saddest shit ever. I was the only one who could carry him. because his hips wouldn't hold him. I did it for a while. It was rough. because that's the thing like i don't want to fucking pick up poop like i'm not fucking picking

1:07:16 Like a couple times a day. It's just, I don't know. It smells. Someone comes over. If you have a decent sized yard, it no big deal it's true that's fair yeah it's not Oh God, don't. Very, very small. Like I have a buddy who has He can't throw the ball in his yard. Yeah. No, it's definitely a lot of work. It just doesn't matter. I love dogs. They love to bring things back.

1:10:12 fucking weirdo digital freaking art goon. I'm not... I don't in like you've got like all the like sort of working out and kind of like it seems like you I do multiple things simultaneously. They work together. So they work together. Or similar demographics that sort of like are all kind of like interested in these, you know, various different things.

1:13:05 because if you don't, your act gets stale. like sort of like thing that you're most... see them live and laugh my ass off for an hour and a half, I walk out of there, I feel It just feels like a sort of like common sort of like language all kinds of things all kinds of things has a couple of great podcasts shit. I'm not interested. I'm not a girl. from hearing how this person died.

1:16:08 And I think women want to know what the fuck men are capable of. Here we go. and who's doing things wrong and what girls you can't trust is to sort of keep everybody in line and find out what's going on. I know a lady who does one of those. It's all about murders. you're like literally i'm Yeah, no. When you have a bunch of giant dicks with jizz coming out of them attached to missile silos.

1:19:19 I don't know if that's true. The true crime podcast and the domestic violence survivors in their audience. Yeah. It's a difference between what men worry about. I think they want to know if they get a database, you know, they get a baseline. just statistically. They lured me to fucking Austin. What do you got here? It's at the Sahara. where they cook over live oak fires, and they have those Argentine grills.

1:22:28 See if you can show if they have any images of the way they cook, Oh my God, I'm a fiend. I like smoking. I've smoked some favorite and smoking. I like smoking. them. That's it. That's a good example. the temperature of the fire underneath it. and so you get all this smoky flavor in the meat. It's so smooth. Almost every weekend there's fights. I'm down to 10 a year. Yeah. Maybe

1:25:14 It's my absolute favorite way to cook. Their photography is incredible. That's a complicated one that someone's got installed in their backyard. Like, she literally will, like. about different things i don't think that anybody should do what other people are doing i think you and they fucking keep you just kind of like... that just keep scrolling, keep doing nothing

1:27:53 and I will put a device attached to your penis, And then it's like Mark Zuckerberg's animated head blowing you And he just gets on his knees. with like mushy I will try and make a video of that. I will do it. Like a dentist chair? and he's like a tiny, he's got a big head, and I think that's what's going to happen in the meta. at least 50 years yeah so you're just like it i want to look like that what is this like

1:30:46 It's only tethered to a phone. one of the boxing games? But you were holding up the alien head, and I was like, that looks like the alien's eyes. Look at that girl. Serenity happens when our senses are free to explore Yeah I'm excited That was crazy shit. It was also a unique concept in that we kind of thought it was coming. I was fucked up. You know what they should do?

1:33:49 It is insane. It is fucking insane. Instead of why. Whoa. so close. Yeah, like, look at that. The future is in the expansion of this. I'm sure. Because this is the kind of stuff that you work with. And then it's 3D and then like Quake and Wolfenstein. even for adults like The Incredibles and stuff like that. But when you're watching it, you're looking at this and you're going,

1:36:58 I'm assuming they're little kids. sort of like get better from here because it's already so sophisticated i guess it's got to get up and see the weather and all this shit because you have the AR on. You're like, you like dogs. Dude, it's going to be like crazy. Yeah, they'll have that like sorted, I think. So with the Plaid, the steering wheel is this yoke, and the horn is not the center.

1:39:54 The car is a genius piece Isn't it through like the menus or some shit? I always have my hands on that, but I'll hold it for someone and watch. It's wild. like what are you talking about? What is wrong with you? lexuses are amazing they make an amazing car like a better like car that's's kind of safer. Lexus? Lexus sedans. They're so good. They're the best.

1:42:24 I love Toyotas. It's a SUV. They use them in Australia quite a bit. To have a bunch of land? The people panicking and freaking out. yeah because they're not prepared for winter because it doesn't really get it doesn't go But with my Land Cruiser, I was loving it. For years, I drove in snow. like yeah supply chains and shit just like well that was minor the real supply

1:46:20 Lexus has like, they take the Land Cruiser 300 and they make a luxury version of that. That's what's crazy. And I know Elon has talked about making a phone. up a plant here in texas to make chips in austin and every phone that you get now is essentially stuff is Vice, back in the day when Vice was actually Vice, Jesus Christ. This is the fucking absolute, 100%.

1:49:34 stuff and this stuff is what you would call a conflict mineral and this um this mineral is an scraping it out. You see it right there. and our ethics and our values. Apple's one of the most wealthy companies on the planet Earth. You knew that they were looking forward to going to work. And I think that if Elon started making his Pi phone in America, and it was a very high-quality phone, the only problem is so many people are married to the Apple operating system.

1:52:18 And I think everybody convinces themselves, myself included, third world is like fucking rich as shit you know what i mean thirty four thousand dollars a year But when you look at the quality of life and Fight for the Forgotten, Fight for the Forgotten, and Fight for the Forgotten, and just due to that, yeah for anything right well we know like when he went over there he was seeing all these children

1:54:56 I don't know. I feel like that would super fuck me up. No, no. you know, we live in and that's the strangest the strangest connection to me is what we just said that the That's why we need to like Cambodia or wherever. And put in safety stuff. Unions exist, as much as people love laws that we have here in America where that's why unions exist. If they can, they will.

1:57:23 Well, if there's no laws and there's nothing stopping them, then they're just going to do it. Something like that. It's definitely getting more incremental the sort of change is moving forward. and our society. Well, that's what they needed in Star Trek. get crystals. It's an antimatter matter reactor. which serves as a controlling agent Isn't that wild that even back in the Star Trek days,

2:00:20 They'll figure out other ways around it, I think. things that we have with semiconductor chips. bioengineering things where they'll figure ways around this stuff yeah i think it just the problem is that that might be the way around it But that's not a cyborg. the interface between the brain and the nerves or whatever future technology, 5G, 6G, whatever the fuck it is.

2:03:36 not that long you think that'll be in the next five years ten years you know maybe like 20 30 have to control people with social credit score systems that they're implementing in places like what they do on the internet. last 10 years started to really like, it's changing pretty quick here and like things are moving and It would lead us to some – I mean that seems to be where it's headed.

2:06:23 Yeah. Very few, yeah. people interface with in a much more realistic sense, like a virtual reality sense. Like if and give people some sort of like emotional experience. That and Jamie just read the sequel to it. and makes you feel like you're in like a cool place instead of a shitty dumpy place What percentage of Twitter do you think is negative? That could motivate people to go into some sort of

2:10:22 I mean I think that was mostly just marketing excited to get into that future with Facebook? It doesn't matter. something where it's a compelling experience, It's actually cool. The thing about the seen that. You need to see it. Is it like creepy as shit? No, no, no, no. It's actually cool. So here's the experience. This is the dimension of imagination.

2:12:33 That's cool. Bobbing heads. I mean, that's the thing. Well, let's say Facebook. You still post things that I think people would benefit from knowing about. Pull up my last post. To keep bugs away. That's a flower. In the wild. Well, some of it, like there you see Forrest Galante says some of it is coincidence. I don't understand. Like, yeah, 100%. Like, what does that even fucking mean see. That's what's crazy. I don't understand.

2:15:15 I know. And the fact that it's common. that's yellow it has the face that's white it has eyeballs that are that are black it's wild it looks Maybe not. Full circle. Wild. The one that I showed, the top right one, upper right-hand corner. in the bottom of the sea, but it makes sense. and then when something swims by, Pull up images of octa. And he came on the show and was talking to me about it.

2:18:44 So watch this. So they can change the surface of their skin both in color and in texture and depth. to an octopus or Yeah, but these things, watch how it does this. and then it'll adapt its colors to that place. yeah and it panicked it's like what is this and you see it try to imitate the squares and it's Yeah. Isn't that crazy how it uses its skin?

2:21:23 It's making it like a zebra. Oh, the ocean is a treasure trove of that. That's bizarre to me. they like kind of tree frogs and things and stuff i like all kinds of i like fresh water just? I like all kinds. I like freshwater, saltwater. My kids enjoy fishing. Morons know how to do it. see with most most people have what's called a spinning reel or a spin casting reel you press

2:25:00 On the line. it's so accurate so like if you're fishing for bass and you're near, say, a shore Like if you had a bag of rocks and they were all the same weight Right? Some people have developed this ability behind our house. But then, you know, the worms, like, you got to, like, put it on the thing. You cast, catch the fish. Do you think we're going to catch a fish with these apple chunks?

2:27:51 Well, also if you're using bait, right? right apples work great for bait? Oh, that makes sense. They're small though. Those catfish are crazy, and the people who, like, grab them or whatever, Oh, Jesus Christ. I'll find it real quick. They just do it. pretty far i didn't see anything i don't think it's that far so today is uh december 7th 13th Hold on.

2:31:42 I'll send it to you, Jimmy. No, look, you can see it in the window, but you can't click on it. Yeah. Isn't it weird, Jamie, that you can still see it on my phone in the window? Because when I click on it, I get this. Oh, here it is. Look at the size of that fucking thing. Yeah, it says Loch Ness Monster Catfish. Back up so you can see. It's not in there?

2:34:16 No. so it's almost like Not really Yeah I would like to do that to sort of like learn about these things that I know nothing about, So it's like very like interesting to me to learn this sort of like subculture But they take those... The thing about the barracuda is you can't eat it. that one would be yeah i know i know i don't know that much about it i don't honestly eat fish that

2:37:05 definitely it's just a cool experience and it's sort of like i don't know are you overwhelmed time wise with uh this day-to-day commitment of producing art because you produce one piece every Yes, I did see that. We've got some like fucking crazy shit planned that's sort of like, again, psychologically try to examine you like like what is wrong with you that's a funny thing that like

2:39:09 and just assuming a bunch of shit like and a lot of the pieces are very sort of like ambiguous and bother me and sort of like I recognize that I'm not trying to offend people I'm not trying to hurt guys it's just a bunch of dicks i don't know what even that means like what are you talking about out of body where it's like that's not me who the also putting something out there in a way that people are getting a negative

2:41:46 At scale. That's it. you know, Yeah. What the fuck is he doing? A hundred percent. forward and and you know kind of make it a better place and sort of, I don't know. It's a great exchange. Or there's always going to be people upset because they take the least charitable position or the least charitable interpretation of your position. They're just idiots.

2:45:41 The dicks, whatever. They're very jizzy dicks. Have you ever heard the expression jizzy dicks? And it's sort of like, I get that. Is it because he only thinks about Hillary? So this is kind of like assuming we've got these like machines in the future of like a long period of time. Debate, yeah. These are my favorite. It's just sort of like, here's a mixing and matching a bunch of sort of like genders and

2:48:35 He said it happened in ancient Greece, ancient Rome. Yeah, they became obsessed with gender. It's definitely that doesn't bode well for us. Oh, my God. This piece of artwork. Super, super appreciate it, man. Beeple dash crap on Instagram. Thank you very much, man.
