If you go under that, you don't get any money back. I'm alone in a hotel room. I was supposed to do an episode with my pal Duncan Trussell, but Duncan Trussell caught what is being referred to as the nerd flu. Apparently,

6:54 That's my point. Check it out. I almost accidentally went to Chicago. for atlanta and i look up and the plane was going to chicago and i was like oh dummy so uh that was It's a good city. They just don't. They just don't do anything. Her kid was going fucking crazy. First of your fucking kid he's screaming at you and you're ignoring him. Some people just decide that because they have

10:53 Her hands were laying on top of her fat belly, and it wasn't pregnant, I don't think. She had three kids there. She might have been just really into dick. She might have had another baby on the So I figured I'll do it here. He decided to weigh in anyway just to prove a point. Whoops. My mic stand is a Diet Coke can. I was at the Tabernacle Theater, which is a big ass place.

14:31 The most exciting is certainly the actual filming of a special. I have a bunch of subjects that I talked about on stage a few times, goes on. And I would love to have what I think is as close to the finished version as I can gonna talk about so let me get to some of these questions i'm kind of rambling here I guess I could kind of announce it now or talk about it now.

17:41 Doug's in. where I'm trying to lean into this microphone. I think a lot of word of mouth, just talking about it, tweeting about it. People read your I don't want to say the lesser of two evil. I don't want to sit here and dwell on politics and talk politics with everybody, but it just, to me, is one of the most depressing times ever for picking a president.

20:23 Someone to climb Mount, not that, I that someone put on YouTube that it was some video about Islam and it was really bad. It was like a terrible, terrible movie. Let me have a cup of coffee here. The guys who are really into Trump? other fat they're both i love them both to death but they're they could both lose a couple of Google that right now. Let's find out. If you had a guess, how many

24:12 Okay. I bet he's drinking the six and two thirds in a night. Time to get used to it. That's a measurement. They have this podcast called your They're the, they're the pound for pound funniest couple, Tom and Christina. Will the Doom podcast ever happen? We'll have it just as like a supplemental thing. Or we'll do playing video games. was the big gamer back in the day. The big Quake player. He's one of the best in the world, if not

28:36 Guys like Herb Perez and, God, I'm trying to remember some of these names. Patrice Remarque, that's his name. Just from watching, I got better, guaranteed. It was almost like kind of coding. It definitely did. And I think it's exciting to watch, too. But it has this cool tracer behind it, like this laser tracer. that were just so impressive and how much you had to,

33:07 And playing it online, too, was so exciting at least in the same state, you'd get really commensurate pings, and you'd have these awesome game or any other thing that I've ever done before outside of fighting in a competitive way. it's not going to make sense. away because it was just really interfering with my life and uh here's another story that I've told

35:57 But he was super addicted to it. And that was the moment, I think, where I realized, like, oh, yeah. tournament maybe it was just me because i have the I had the thought in my head Maybe I'm just talking out of my ass. in tournaments and in professional video game leagues that can actually make real money and nobody gives a fuck about like games they carry their own sort of

40:07 That's one of the hilarious things about the KKK. How the fuck did I get there? Point is, there's no point. I have no I'm pretty sure Josh Waitzkin was a big part of the motivation or the inspiration for that movie. But Marcelo, M-I-G in Action, was a really interesting website where Marcelo was constantly rolling with people, rolling with new people in his school.

42:36 But I had the opportunity to watch him compete in 2003 in Brazil, in Sao Paulo, Brazil. And Marcelo was just running through the competition. The fan just kicked on. He would attack with guillotines, and he would attack with rear naked chokes. And there was a lot of things that he would attack with. He would attack with guillotines, you look at them and you go, Jesus.

45:02 But he looks like a scary guy. And he would openly talk about them, like the Kimura, which is a famous technique. barnett is probably the most famous and the most successful catch wrestling enthusiast throughout the beginning of time. I mean, when people first started fighting, that's probably So it's been around forever. You clamp down one hand on the wrist, and then you throw an overhook around the arm and clamp your other hand down on your wrist.

50:01 Like a perfect example in jiu-jitsu is Hadja Gracie versus Jacare. It's a snapped his fucking arm. And this is, by the way, professional jujitsu. This isn't even MMA. I mean, if they had been fighting old-school Gracie way, Hadja probably would have eventually got him because Jacare really couldn't defend himself correctly anymore. And no debate as to whether or not

52:45 could watch on YouTube. Um, so Josh Waitzkin, who was a, um, a student of Marcello's put all of, actual physical activity where you move around and do things. So I don't know. But we will If you don't know what that question is about, when those guys are out of town. I just work a little bit too much. all that other stuff. my recreational activities

55:47 love doing the UFC. I love it. I love it. I mean, it's a very exciting job and it's an honor to be like at least four or five days before I felt normal again. Enthusiasm and having Just knocked over the phone. He's a fucking awesome guy, super smart dude, super tuned in, really interesting and intelligent guy. And then there's also Kenny Florian, who's also great.

59:28 by Dana White, was the idea that As soon as I heard that they were thinking about selling, I was like, well, that answered it for me. It made me think that I probably should And the Drake equation is, it's an equation that's, here, I'll go to the Wikipedia of that. Many of them which are many, many, many years older than our galaxy. and the idea of being somewhere in a measurable way,

1:03:16 use that helps us and enhances our vision or enhances our mental function or our ability on the podcast. And it'll actually answer you. No, it's in there. It's one step in what is really, as long as human beings stay alive, as long as we don't get nuked, as long as we don't murk ourselves, as long as we don't get fucked up by a super volcano or an asteroid or some

1:06:17 they get fake tits people are going to they're going to get these things put in their bodies But somewhere along the line, if you listen to guys like Ray Kurzweil, who Ray believes that you're going to eventually be able to download your consciousness into a computer, which of course gets really fucking weird because what are you then? Are you still,

1:07:49 You know, there's a lot of people today that just, they're not not happy with the life that they've been handed with the roll of the dice. if someone comes along and says, with no negative repercussions. You can become a part of the matrix, a part of the thing, when someone we care about dies. If someone can engineer, and this is not something that might happen in a year or in a hundred

1:11:13 oh, you're imagining things that are happening, you're hallucinating. Well, sort of yes, but no. Well, people say, well, that's a hallucination. You're taking a drug and you're having a that's the only model that we have to go on, that this is the pattern that But that's just because this is what we're used to. these things now. We're used to photographs. The idea of not being able to take photos on vacation

1:14:57 no photos is alien. The idea of no movies, no cameras, no TV shows, no radio. beings, it's not even a blink of an eye. This is all new and we couldn't imagine life without it. Well one day you're going to be able to talk In the Old West, it was electricity, metals, new ways of connecting things, and then teletype and Morse code and all these different things got invented before they invented computers, the internet, the world we're dealing with right now. I think it's entirely possible that these ideas that we have about what the future is going to be like, there's big chunks missing.

1:18:06 going to be a time where you are going to have a hard drive, like a virtual hard drive, You know, like maybe Chris Rock, like a great comedian. How does he feel about himself? I think that is inevitable. I really do. I think that is as inevitable as recording how fucking insane it is. fucking air and it could reach my phone on the other side of the planet in seconds. This is nuts.

1:21:39 Then it's going to be something that involves much more than just the simple senses of sound and sight. I'm sitting here right now. that they could live, so they didn't have to worry about making a living, it would open them up to a somewhere around 50 200 years from now infinite alternative existences. So this idea that we're just going to get to a certain point

1:25:29 There's some giant-ass planet out there that's, I think it's more than four times larger than Earth, it's all we're capable of. listen to, I don't think it was the last one. I really lose track of which one was what If people don't blow themselves up, if we don't get hit by an asteroid, if Yellowstone doesn't now whatever it is one day eventually they're going to figure out a way to make something that

1:28:13 and it's just crept up on us. going to be like 10 years from now? always thought that it's possible that planets themselves, or rather reality itself, is like a station on the dial. I think those guys That's a blink of an eye. plus years of what would take us as far as innovation. So the world will change so fast I think that we're going to outgrow this idea of being somewhere in a physical sense.

1:32:45 Yes, you're right. dude, I'm making a wall. You could look at it on a microscope. And that's what happens every year with the flu or every year with malaria. And if you want a What if ideas were life forms? They figured out how And you access it and you sit around, you daydream, and you lay on your back in the grass and you come up with an idea. if you lived in a natural world,

1:36:55 Okay. What's that? And this idea that the imagination is just some sort of like, oh, he's imagining things. It's almost 7 o'clock here and I got to leave soon. How about the fact that the Democrats were plotting against one of their own? it's revealed that they were actively plotting to get Bernie Sanders in as, or excuse me, right now. Hillary Clinton was giving a speech and her fucking husband, Bill, fell asleep.

1:40:55 And it's a ho's job. That's it. But in the meantime, it's like you have to resist the urge to think about the fact that you're talking. It just shows you how talented Bill Burr is a guy who's singular in his focus. And, uh, I really admire him as a comic. And it's one of I love watching his act he's not just one of the best alive today, Thank you. deliciousness cavemancoffeeco.com thanks to ting go to rogan.ting.com save 25 bucks off of any
