Transcript

0:00 the Joe Rogan experience Well, they're nice to kind of keep with you as a spare. He used to do it with sneakers. is falling off. People pay for those. And I was like, I'll get it, whatever. When I see people with pants that are just shredded all over the place, like your knees are exposed. Oh, yeah. That's worth a lot of money. I've tried to hold on

2:54 my truck um just if any i don't know i think we talked about this before but if somebody it's bed back so the whole truck rolled right off the back of the rollback oh no it totaled the truck That's hilarious Is the suspension bent? so yeah sort of maybe i'll donate it to whistling diesel and just let him kill it i don't know it'd Why not replace it with better shit?

5:13 But what they do is they'll take an old car. Because new cars are so much more efficient. The Survivor Series. And these are the people that created these insane shapes. But you get into like 72, 73. Everything lost its art and it became focused more on algorithms of what's going to sell and what's more efficient and what's better to produce. And some of them are good and some of them aren't so good,

7:43 You're connected to all the action. It's like you're on the edge of your How many people have fucking people with a life have time for a poll? They can't get anybody to do it. They're all just sort of remakes of they're just like a they're like a reconceptualization of something that's happened 15 years ago there's not a lot of like new stuff out there for people to connect with

9:43 like i don't know some of the best And I don't think they'll ever touch the original series, even though. It's different. Say the pop. Look at that. Oh, okay. And the reason why is that Pat McGee, who is this amazing special effects guy, he was it was shorter, it was like this and that. And it looks fucking amazing. like a good person they're a friendly nice guy and you're like hey man you have to lock yourself

13:50 were bubbling. Yeah, it's awesome. look fake but be a real thing like John Carpenter's the thing you're better off with that than you are That's awesome. nailed it. It was the That thing was amazing yeah but like friends and family have sent me stuff and some of it's pretty funny, but you know, She goes, did you do this advertisement? It's called Nets with Vets, and they take out veterans with PTSD and let them go deep-sea fishing.

17:13 Not so much on the AI side, but just, I don't know, but also like overwhelmingly negative then it was like dozens of people were sending it to me. Like that's not something I would normally write. And I don't know what it is This is one of those songs that every time I hear it, it just takes me in my mind to Magical person. And so I think even the same way with her and other people.

21:42 and then and then the rules almost morph into whatever that is like um it's funny like with music yeah music has country in particular but it's funny like that man it's we we're so tribal we we are we are tribal with thing is so bonkers man like can't they just accept that you made a great song and people image of whatever it is that the person behind the song represents for better or for worse.

24:01 just even what I've skimmed through of people sending me, I think it's, uh, So like everybody is getting involved in, somehow or another became cultural and then there was a Dwight from the office Take them through there. is technically piedmont but even in throughout rural virginia that poverty is a big issue and Well, people are tired of being fucked with.

26:42 historian but my understanding is that the federal government was never intended to be the size that it is today. Confederation, and that was just an even smaller version of federal government. But I think you could have more issues. There's probably a lot of issues, especially in places that are poor, because they rely would it be nice if rich a funny...

29:06 So I do understand the people making that argument. So, yeah, there's... It is. Who? The porn business. Well, hey, for whatever they lost during the recession, There's obviously a lot of eyeballs in that business. What's the percentage of – and everybody's like, I don't know where it's coming from. That is one thing I I gave that up. I think it's like Adderall. Yeah. Some people can handle it. That's one thing.

31:20 very destructive rabbit holes you know if you will. It definitely can for some people. I like the fact that bars are legal. I like a drink. Yeah, well, that's the problem. porn in the United States. got there and we had raincoats on. Instantly. I know that was one thing that was interesting to me in Virginia They just recently changed the law where I think you have to enter your driver's license to watch porn now hilarious

34:03 The reality is it's human beings like you Yes, there's a lot of that. it's funny because yeah you watch the commercial and then at the end, it's like, And they say it all so fast. This is how And it's, yeah, it's, I don't know. Ideally, eventually get it's like they don't want you to really get off the medicine, though. That's not a solution. food on a budget, but you have to be diligent. And the problem is fast food and food deserts.

38:10 the crap from the store but even it's not like i mean you read about i mean just in the part of Well, certainly if you have an organic farm near you. I mean, atrazine is a very potent endocrine disruptor. Something like 90 plus percent of people tested have glyphosate in their blood. healthy yeah it's not easy but neither is being sick being sick's not easy either man yeah just

40:19 You have so much more energy than regular people who are just sitting around all day because you don't demand anything of your body if you don't demand anything of your body it's like good we'll just and then you just start swiping start wasting your rest of your evening like I don't even mean so much video games, but just yeah and like one of them was like it's okay he's fine like like that was like

42:20 There's something like that. I don't know what the fuck is wrong with my algorithm, but I've seen more people get bit by crocodiles over the last six months than I have in a long ass time. You don't, you're not spending any time on that. class man when you're fucking standing there holding on to one foot and one foot is extended Yeah, I can't imagine me trying to do that.

44:14 Yeah. but if you do the series, it's not even, I don't believe he even invented that series of poses. like a great walk away from that the feeling you get oh you feel so relaxed that is one thing i'm but music is big for me on that too you know that's just getting your playing an instrument that you get to like invent moves or think about things and strategies or whether that game or

46:45 and what they're able to do and what like i don't know everyone seems like they have that one thing monday night we're gonna go to jiu-jitsu class you got your little white belt on you're tying it like this feeling this is real feeling of community we go on the road together You know, if like maybe the friends that you have are all fucked up steal they don't want to do the work but they want you to do the work for them like they want you to

49:15 above them's like my my best drinking buddy for years he's like 65 66 i love hanging out with to, like, I don't know, That was your problem, huh? kid, what got me interested in all of it was, um, going, you know, Dukes of Hazzard when I was a And then I'd play at a bonfire party or I'd play at whatever. but what it was that I really needed to be doing,

51:37 with what you do, jiu-jitsu or whatever, accused of not writing your own songs very early on yeah because since my state i guess it's not Just in. Like if you look, if you go on YouTube but it's sort of like, to me, it reminds me of how much, Yeah. And so his whole life, but his legal name was. He had to change his name when he was 65 so he could draw his retirement and all because his Social Security and everything was under a totally different name.

54:41 he passed away in 2019 and that's kind of it was probably about – yeah, probably May of last year You know, I used to laugh about, not laugh about, but I used to just not really understand when people talked about mental And you want people to pay attention to you. and i just had kept like i said for 10 years or or more, I'd pick the thing up for a few months and then I'd put it down.

57:26 you're good because you had a real life like a real tortured regular life like regular people tough because yeah because then um everyone's perception of everything's different anyway based You need to do this and you got to do that. You know, I don't want to. Talent and authenticity. You got both don't understand what it's like to be famous. I don't know that I'd ever let anybody even manage my social media and stuff like that's just something that I'd like to have the hand on.

1:00:50 you're genuinely interested in. Like we don't have enough real conversation in any way in the I'll tell you how many views it had. i have said this a hundred times already but like i'm no i'm certainly no preach like people have I do want to use, if there's anything I'd like to capitalize on with my opportunity, Was there a moment when you had like a literal come to Jesus moment where you realized you were at rock bottom?

1:04:05 think maybe the weed was even causing some of that like i was i was slamming down so you know We'll talk about all that, the growing, because I am intrigued with the growing. What were you thinking during these times? it was almost like at some point I thought I was going to do it almost as a fight or flight response response like that I couldn't the youtube video and then just uploaded it through

1:06:39 From my front camera on my Android phone. No, I like it. I don't need a dime. I was like, I'll just go ahead and get something out there. Do you know how huge these songs would be if you died? only thing i had that was worth anything and so like if i was going to be a shitty enough person Right. In a parallel time. I don't understand why he's doing that.

1:11:13 on paper things were great right like i was married things were like i had i have a great Okay. me talking to me, but like I could hear them, but I was just kind of in a dream. And I'm like, oh, shit. I had a lot of inflammation and stuff in my brain and but that kind of and i and i questioned whether or not after that yeah for sure yeah before then I was totally fine. 100% they're connected.

1:13:39 That's one of the real dangers of head trauma. And you're just all fucked up. so like, I've, I guess the reason that I've, the reason I feel like other than just really You can still have those even if you get famous. it's real, I think there's a lot of things that if you believe it's a lot of what's going on with and all that find Jocko good I say good.

1:16:56 Direct subordinates, one of my guys that worked for me, and I said well yeah when things are going bad there's gonna be some good We can focus on another one. Good. bad don't get all bummed out don't get startled don't get frustrated if you can say the word good guess what it means you're still alive it means you're still breathing and if you're still breathing, well, now you still got some fight left in you.

1:19:16 That's real. Some of it, in your case, may very well have been from a physical injury. Warrior Angels. it's like if i don't know it's your perception of reality becomes very distorted when you're in And there's people that have traumatic brain injuries that are subcocussive trauma from playing soccer. Yeah. you lose that dopamine and that drive all those chemicals are very tightly regulated to your to

1:23:07 They have cats and dogs that take SSRIs. But just in my personal experience, especially for a guy, when you're on SSRIs, it does a lot of things bad to you. but you're at that like breaking point like i was uh i found smoking cbd joints like not ingesting It doesn't get you high. Like, since this has all happened,'t had a like i'm telling you again

1:25:55 It's like you get this just overwhelming feeling and I'm just crying like a baby, just this very like warm feeling throughout me. I don't know I'm telling you like again I'm not I'm not anybody And I think for me, it was like I had been in, you know, I'd been in church growing up and I had been exposed to all that. under my jaw down in my wrist and my leg, like just cardiovascular one-on-one symptoms.

1:28:54 and i just i just just told god i was like just let me do it like and i'll give all this shit up But I don't know. But I think inherently all human beings idolize something. and all the other things in my life away and just ensuring that at least, and look, we're all, different well what's what really I guess it's like now I don't read it I like I've tried to retrain that to,

1:32:48 My son, pay attention to what I say. Keep corrupt talk far from your lips Like if you had to guess, where do you think the Bible comes from? Sometimes it's the lowly of the low that come along and just say things that need to be said. I think the earth is far more intelligent than we realize in the systems that we live in. Like, posted on a, on a vlog or whatever. It's like, it's to me, there is no other book like it.

1:36:23 they believe is that's a restarting of civilization and it happens, I think it's every June and every November. I think that it's obvious that technology existed that we don't know anything about today. It's alien. savage because i think that the people that survived that 11,800 years ago event, I think whatever was left was like fucking walking dead.

1:39:29 but that everything that's happened under the sun has already happened before And, yeah, like there is a lot of weird things. But, you know, what's really fascinating about Texas is they were dominating, like these nomadic tribes were dominating this land for hundreds of years where people couldn't even settle down. It's like they have these similar kind of stories

1:41:31 which is just insane to think. it's crazy to think about it existing then, but that like that's i guess when i talk about the intelligence We were talking about this yesterday with Peter Berg. and he saw the missiles that these things exist complicated process of evolving from territorial apes to becoming these intergalactic travelers It's one of the reasons why we're most scared about technological innovation. where it comes. It's Terminator. You know, that's everything. All these things that

1:44:14 But with it, how dangerous are we? to where we are in the 21st century, How did that happen? And I bet that exists everywhere in the universe. Fuck you. All that starts with someone's imagination. crime and horrible things that people do to each other, it's down almost everywhere in the world It's so fucking crazy. Symptom like what's the what do you think the problem is like? I mean, I know the easy answer is it's the people that run the government in

1:48:37 And you got, yeah. if we have anything, if we have something precious a resource that needs And like, yeah, all that's happened within the last 10 or 15 years, maybe. And, you know, I've had a lot of people. that they got pissed over politics about. country. federal government bans this, we're not going to enforce it type of a thing, which is crazy to see

1:52:42 It's not it's not a wise thing to just apply to your life as a human being. I would like to try it that way. Let's try some amount of money that could be applied to education, that could be applied to healthcare. You could give people yeah it shouldn't suspend your friendships or relationships with other people like yeah but time is anymore. they've got all their emotional triggers and there are things that they're trying to feed their

1:55:55 Well, he would have to be a vaccine scientist You're in the public eye. or should rely on one person to save us on all those issues. He knows what to do wrong. don't know if this is true so we should find out if it's true did she or did she not accidentally is because we know that foreign interests are interfering with our discourse. But what they're doing is trying to get people arguing about stuff, trying to get people to diminish their faith in democracy, trying to get people at each other's throats from the right and the left.

1:58:51 Is that real? it sounds like her. people to like that rough raw authentic type of speech like it's not clean cut and it's not You can look at politicians over a 15 year span And it sounds like right-wing, like, Proud Boys speech. No crazy. How do we know they're not laced with Fentanyl? the cigars I hope you're not poisoning me bro I'm gonna find out shortly here these are supposedly

2:02:08 I'm trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong. Maybe it's a bomb. Yeah, but everybody likes boxes. they like the experience of it have to plan that out better next time. God damn it. and I thought it's not short anymore. Look at that. There we go. Smell that. Now we're going to have to find out if these are fake. A lot of people leave them on. Real cigar people will tell you what you're really supposed to do before you even suck on it

2:05:47 These are good. There's only like, it's a very small area where they grow these Cuban cigars. on youtube is um dry He knew. Maybe I'm imagining that. What other things do you have? My favorite boots are made by this company, Origin. to go go do a hunt or something like that that'd be pretty cool i don't think i don't have you definitely part of it you got people are very opposed to running dogs and you got some guys

2:10:10 think it's cruel you know people think it's cruel when they do that with mountain lions too just just admire him and let him go i don't know like i'm just funny about that have hunting that's off limits you create a really dangerous imbalance and they did that Jersey than any other state, which is so nuts per capita. I wonder why that is. Because they're

2:12:54 right after i closed on it because i'd had um i my house before that i had a house with five acres it's, And it was like two in the morning as a bobcat, like right on us doing that. the dogs, and we were tent camping out there, and it was like 2 in the morning. whoa to get around the snow. oh jesus i stopped it before i saw it ran away i thought you got him whoa try to get him wow

2:15:54 And I don't know what'll happen with me next year. Like everybody wants to pull me in 10 One of my favorite YouTubers is Camping with Steve. is just awesome. It's weird that it's like, because you realize like, oh, I'm not important at all. spiritual side to being out in nature, but there really is something just very peaceful about it. know, like I've read all these things about, you know, there's this whole kind of hippie spiritual

2:18:18 to experience just different parts of the country and even outside of the country. Like it's, This is going to be fun for you, dude. be you i got a nice slow trickle of fame yeah you could just just like i got like like a snake venom But there's one guy in particular that like, well, everybody's seen me meet him at one point. despite all the craziness and all the people that have come out, like just clawing at me like that,

2:20:17 And you're handling the controversy and the criticism and the hit pieces. I see a lot of the negative stuff online, No question. It's in everything and in music and comedy and literature and films. it you don't have to read it like it's so that they don't like you said this so they think you an income just like anybody else you know and they're stuck in a system everybody's got a boss

2:22:27 It's a real human. because it's funny like to just i guess if i just to tell the story about the song and how it was It was on my TikTok. Ain't Got a Dollar and I Want to Go Home are like two of my favorites. the song, I thought the controversy in it was Like, why is he talking about minors? I hope that people will – and I've seen it happen. i'm excited to like get those songs released in a more professional format the way richmond

2:26:13 even before they'll get it a sense of this is a magical thing for you and it's beautiful and if whatever to back you up to do it.
