Comedy is that part of truth and it's people like you it's why you resonate so well with all what you're doing right now is because you comedy pushes when you stand up

1:39 We worked in Vegas. Well, it's what we do. Not twice in a row. Not three times in a week. I can write a song, Yeah. Be funny, dude. Nothing. or something, like the ability to make awesome noise. octaves and dimensions. So if hit my hippie bullshit button. Vibration. But there's just sort of clear evidence that there's something there. There's a certain feeling

6:05 But I get to see the same sort of energy that makes anyone great at any art. Absolutely. I'll try to find it, but it was really badass. I know they've been able to figure out your mind, essentially. That's the beginning, right? Everything hard. of respect in in that and that we don't look at that as like being this that's the real sort of and said, okay, let's look at the patterns

9:20 I don't want to be yelled at. And we can do that or we can just create chaos and create problems everywhere we go if we That is different. Oh, no. carter's administration wow so close i don't know yeah it. Yeah, if you really look into the journey of cannabis, Oh, isn't that, oh. You go to the bar and you have a smoke, your car. And of course, we don't want you to drunk drive. And we prefer you take cabs. And we

12:09 I know. Yes. It's over. It's tough. I mean, there's a lot of people that are trying to say it's a toxin. That's so wrong. That's also a problem. But also enjoy a little TV every now and again. But if you go in and just watch mindlessly, boy, you will be swept away in it. It's a constant practice. It was one of those, you know, about – before we went on, you're talking about cannabis and actually the difference between smoking it and eating it.

16:00 And I got off it going, wait a minute. It was I didn't drink enough water. It was the – unfortunately, it was the Catholic Church in 400 AD when Descartes decided that he was like – he went to the church and he said, I want to study medicine. everything because it it's just not true anymore emotion plays i my belief is it plays almost all I don't blame them. I don't say this is your fault.

19:16 And they come to me all the time in cities all over the world. What do I need to change? birth defects and things along those lines? I believe that this is the balance of life and we are all here to walk through it and make our choices. And I think the insight that people That's why I want to talk because I would love to just have one person Well, that's, or there is something, there is some choice that I am making.

22:49 Right. You know what I'm saying? I mean, you've been there. I wonder. Yeah. I have and I haven't. i could disbelieve it too you know i could do it's up to you it can be whatever yeah i mean you you Absolutely. I don't have a choice. Yeah, the monks essentially give up all civilization. Yeah, to enjoy it all. Absolutely. Yeah, I mean, if it wasn't for that,

26:22 Yeah, if you can hold that middle. a lot of personality reactions. And that's who I can choose how to do it. Oh, no. I got to be a rock star. And so they just hold it out there and then they have lots of excuses. does not solve all my problems and it can cloud you in a little bit of There's a certain type. Yeah. Happiness. Yeah. Trust them. You have to – you can fix yourself.

31:02 Yes. Okay. Then you start seeing how it – Yeah, because you had heard some fucking badass music in your car on the way over there. Bring your inner hippie out. culture. But not a bounce of patchouli. Rose water is nice. Oh, now, don't get me started. And it was thought to use – oh, it will keep us from sweating, which I'm sorry, you're supposed to sweat.

I do it backwards. He works so much, though. So that's what I think it is. And as we were saying before about people who've had sort of near-death experiences and became like very spiritual afterwards and really sort of understood

42:22 Yeah. hippy dippy but that's what creates more of that positive vibration in your life you know you can And they're almost like they're stuck and they can't swim. they're always at like a seven or an eight, a scale of one to 10 with being upset at things okay, where's the part of me that's afraid that I'm over the top and that I'm losing it? or in a movie or something, that someone's

45:42 your definition of reality is. energy that makes me and you start with that and then you realize the things that do make you feel better make your day better and it it's We see that almost more than we see other people interact with each other. this world that we can't live up to? And they're showing it to everything but doesn't he also believe in reptilians yes okay part of this part of yes

49:12 He does. But Homeboy does think that the ruling elites are lizard people. I bet he won't. But that is a the whole, we're actually way worse than reptiles because reptiles just kill things and eat them. You know what I mean? Yes, and then horrible things are going to happen to you. so it doesn't want to bite you. Oh, they came back? like a psychedelic dimension

52:17 can be other animals I think that this I think that this earth is a place of biological life and that it is a special place that all the other dimensional spirits can come and work through karma. Yeah. what what you need to ascend we are all ascending unless you're stuck in africa one of those shitty I'm saying there's always a different way to look at everything.

53:56 they take them and they use a pan and the mosquitoes are so thick around them that they When you look at all the poverty and all the terrible places on earth and the war and all the strife and all the things, And when I look at the bad and the good, I'm grateful for the whole experience. They are here to work through that and make their choices. physics.

56:43 You've heard that, right? See, I smoke too much. Really? I didn't know that. Yeah. That's pretty much accepted. Let's just start there. want a choice or they're just greedy or yes do they double your numbers or my numbers i don't know Wait a minute. New galaxies are forming. galaxies around them. strings that are vibrating at different frequencies.

1:01:02 Well, it is. it's vibrating. I never thought, I was never look, this is the wonderment we found to these badass, crazy equations, one of the things they found is self-correcting computer Yeah. that it would be indiscernible from reality and that what we might have already done so we might Try it. She just started doing The Secret, at another comedy club.

1:04:43 And she's like, and I have all these people in my life. I love that they got the idea in there. They don't. people want to hold on to the thought that it is possible for something just to happen to you with no reason. I'm ready to move on. So knowing that and knowing that he died recently, it was comforting knowing that that guy had All spirits totally live on.

1:07:42 You might be afraid. Why be afraid to just shut off? Well, you've got to realize that it's going to suck. Absolutely. Yes. And then I have to let go and go. because even if your life was a masterpiece people like she got lucky exactly and that's belief if why i tell people when they come to me with cancer i say what do you believe do you believe that this

1:10:32 Yeah. Are you an R. Kelly fan? I just watch Chappelle where they always make fun of him. But it's not a parody. Did you see the Clydesdale My holy day Really And I grew, my father was a huge football fan and just adored my father. We are in dead last this year. Choose the Patriots. There's giant black super athletes. They can football like a piston.

1:13:12 Just the technology in training athletes and the athletes, the realizations now of what's possible with various strength and conditioning programs and diet. It cools you down, and it cools you down in a way that lets you recuperate at an incredibly rapid pace. All you have to do is cool that body temperature down. So like the athletes that they're getting now, they're going to be even bigger.

1:15:05 How does that work? But look, Andrew Luck, the Colts were the worst team last year. That's because he believes it. And they'll say, the difference between And you are my funny Joe Rogan. The reality is, in your universe, I didn't exist in a physical form until we meet each other. Yes, and I'm glad we did that. That attitude is one that's espoused by some of the happiest people I know, that you create your own reality.

1:17:23 I don't like getting into those conversations with people where they claim they do know enough to just refute things. I'm just hopeless My sister was a little older and she had a lot of music. It'll hurt your fingers. And of course I played and my fingers bled and I was like, It just was, Like walking in the rain and the snow and i was amazed because it was really the only time i'd ever have access i'd

1:19:19 It spins around. could put that music on a record no one around me yeah I was seven years old I I don't trust you. thing instantaneous information it's yeah that'saneously, you could know. That's the thing. Instantaneous information. Do I? I missed the whole time, and I don't have time to do that. But do people think that it's you? on that if it says Melissa Etheridge said this

1:21:53 and they're not saying, hey, this isn't Melissa. Well, I think I'll have to go to my team and say, hey. Yeah. It's not in my wheel, but yeah, I don't want people to know that to do it I just don't just not it's just not it's not in my wheel but yeah I don't want people know that much about favorites of Woodstock that drove to a uh the secret house somewhere that then put us on a boat that took us up a river that

1:23:58 So my show, The Sun Came Out, was beautiful. the audience and so i'm looking at all of a sudden that patch kind of turns into a snake They're not going to go mosh. Bitch, that show's over. Serious pain. Did he get knocked unconscious? Why would you think See? We're tired of your bullshit. I understand that through this horrific act that the outpouring of goodwill, the outpouring of, wait a minute, we have to do something.

1:27:11 I mean, with your philosophy, he created that? Yes. Real mental issues. Yeah. You look at that and go, what? seems to be a dual issue it seems to be an issue of not being able to feel it for some of them and also the anger and the want and the desire to hurt. It's about understanding your balance and what you ask for and walking through it. voodoo oh it's been about eight years eight years yeah but i i can constantly go okay you saw that

1:31:32 Yet my belief is founded on that I can't blame anybody else for anything. I do believe that. It happens through your mind interacting with other people And there's nothing you can do about it. I'd figure it out. I'm pretty sure. What other kind of crazy out there ideas do you have in your head? Yeah. It keeps me on a… I was like, you guys are missing the whole thing.

1:35:13 it would be way less crazier than dmt like dmt is infinitely crazier than that and it pushes you Yeah. I've been sitting here talking to you, and all I need to do is just go. Go, go, go. The next, to that door to the right. Cara. I left him at a certain point in the night your ass oh he tortured me did you win any games yeah i won a couple games yeah i mean he misses

1:37:37 and peed on my pillow and then put a blanket on my pillow then slept back on it and then woke up Yeah, we have Ari Shafir coming with us tomorrow who I watched scream and yell at the TSA agents. He goes through a screening thing, and he's like, you guys are all corrupt. He's like, this is stupid. Some of them, the new ones where you stand up and you hold your hand up like that, it's

1:38:53 That is if we believe what the numbers are that they say that those things, those scanners With religion and putting things in the faith of God and having this belief that it's all Everybody's stories are bullshit. texts, whether it was actually the word of God, it very well could be. Yes. and you're not. they are used to everyone being terrified he would probably run out the door.

1:42:05 The visionary artist? Everyone's connecting it to religion. the thing that pulls us all together, the thing that makes us interact well. And then love the Lord your God or whatever with all your might and your heart. So it's about infusing love. Yeah, that was such a shitty chess move. people in your church, stupid. goes don't do that that starts your whole wait a minute there's something wrong with that i'm not

1:45:13 It's part of connection with the god. It's true. You don't have to go be a monk. Don't worry about it. You want to try it? definitely go. And the lady who runs it is super cool. solid, amazing, huge tanks that are so regulated, and they pump oxygen into them. It's amazingly recharging just physically. It's something that talks back. whenever I come out of there.

1:47:41 I just want to call my friends And I know some people are doing it. Like, if you enjoy getting a massage every now I bet you would come up with some crazy shit from in there, too. Do you both? Yeah, I do that a lot. If you press it, you press this little a new idea for a joke is say it, it would be way better. just when you have this idea if it's a piece of guitar thing,

1:50:50 I love it yeah it's so it's so fun it's so fun to be a part of uh this crazy culture that you know and using the internet as a method of spreading all this stuff too, like this is my gig, how do you treat it nowadays my life is so full and so i'm so blessed that when it's time Let's take this bitch on the road and see what's up. and here they are and they love that music and I'm singing it

1:53:08 There's nothing like starting a song that people know. That's what it really boils down to. There must be some, See? That's what's really important too, to recognize that in a lot of people, it takes them a long time to figure this out, is that everybody likes different stuff. Everybody. it's just not possible it's not possible it's and that's a good thing everybody and that's why you can then it helps in my belief when i was oh i i believe that those who resonate with the music i

1:55:01 So any accolades that that persona gets is not you and then you're just miserable. I have two ex wives, What is that like? It's the same cliche. Right? But for the kids, they need a happy, not happy, but they need a cohesive unit that they go back and forth from. Wouldn't that be nice? Great show. are vibrating that that's the only way if you're sitting there going i need someone to fix me i

1:57:30 I don't know if it's right, but I do believe that believing in it is very powerful. I live. It's not easy. I'm always available to talk like this, but most often than not, they'll ask me the same ten questions over and over. it also sounds possible to me. I think having these conversations publicly and just the consideration it takes to not necessarily accept the idea but just to consider the points of it and not – as I said, I believe that that is possible.

1:59:31 Exactly. are you sure that's true what are we doing here exactly Amazon, all that jazz. Yeah, it's unlike a lot of CDs. I didn't even know what Smokin' Pie was back then. My record company is great. That is a replica. I just love those pants. It was a lot of fun. Thank you very much for tuning in. like hemp force protein powder. I couldn't film it because I think you'd go to jail for doing that or something.
