That sounds like a Joe Rogan fact. interest in it what do you got here following fda approval in 1970, what is that? It's probably page two. But like I've never gotten a runner's high I'll experience adrenaline rushes and, like, ego, but I'll never be truly, like, joyous.

10:26 I believe in I just don't I've accomplished things I've done you know what I mean but I never get this sense of like Like, I felt like, yeah, exactly. 24-7 I just hold it and try not to scream No, I'm pretty happy. I have a lot of friends. Like my jobs. I'm just lucky that sense of or task and goal oriented. Yeah. Like I like, it's satisfying to do a special or direct a commercial

Yeah. pretty damn near joy yeah killing or just writing a just writing a joke? Writing a joke and it kills. It's like... Do you know what I mean? That's exactly right. Yeah. Because it's the kind of thing where you just want to like go up and kiss women.

15:35 And he was literally like fist pumping. You got to hang out with better people. you want me to fail well there's people that do definitely want you to fail but what they definitely Yeah. really bad for progress yeah if you're a person who's really worried about other people getting things and you start thinking in a jealous manner about other people's success that fucks up your

17:44 Where it was like a job that you were like. Definitely when I was younger, that should have been mine. Do you know what I mean? Like one, have you ever had that? Where it was like a job that you were like. And for comics, there really is not, whatever like so it's intellectual property. Yeah. But there is that thing of like, there's an acceptable, you know what I mean?

The shows at this comedy store are fundraisers anywhere else Yeah. it was really great it was great like the main yeah Ralphie I thought I heard he took a beating he got yeah he saw us but Weight in his divorce

22:59 So he's alone Was it Mike Lawrence? It was like, you know, it had that, even on TV, it was that feeling of like, oh, I could see this going a certain way. Like, wait a minute. It's a cool format. High level of difficulty jokes yes i i agree and also i think Do you know what I mean? that shit is like it ain't about joking it's about like a it's about a lot of times it's about

26:04 and there's some racist shit that people can say to each other in that joke out the fuck and tons of nine 11 jokes. Sarah, you can do the splits? Like there is no hatred in her roast. She almost won. I don't know. Oh, he's really good at it. And that show is really racy, really out there. Mm-hmm Like, L.A. right now has a comedy scene, a big comedy scene.

29:00 All waiting to get in. to watch these people go head to head i heard that whoopi goldberg was awful uh she was just I'm pretty sure I saw her. Yeah, like somebody somebody said that they were an argument with somebody and the person goes I have a million dollars Yeah you can't be like he's not booking like viruses do you know what i mean he's not booking people that when

32:00 now right there all the time yeah and it's cool he's like a part of the And that back bar too. It's awesome. um that like squeak uh so i can't but beyond it just became, now I complained to the guy and he said, you're Amazing. Oh, yeah. Bro, everybody knows that about you. Send it to Jamie. idea of stimulation He knows things. Like essentially, you can see he had veins. Yeah, he had like thick veins that I remember.

35:54 fucking tape bro on your jaw yeah you're gonna fucking you're not gonna believe how strong you how like rough and my head. But if someone like rubs your hand, they start pulling your fingers and make them pop and stuff. And they massage your palms and the tips of your fingers and all the little connective muscles and all the tissue in between the fingers.

37:46 It's just been too busy. He uses a metal bar on me. seen it bro they fuck with your brain yo bro they massage your fucking brain bro bro i'm saying uh like, it almost felt like a metal weight, like a bit of, like, like five pound weight on my upper left forehead my It's waking up, basically, dead synapses, according to them. Really? Yeah. So it's waking up dead synapses, according to them.

39:37 You're like, go ahead, shoot me out. Really? When you think about how many people are prescribed these things, and then there's not really a direct understanding of how it impacts each person. and it's going well and, hey, it just, everything seems pretty good. never done it so it's it's hard for me to describe it but yeah the people that i've talked to that

41:59 Yeah, because it does... almost like an EpiPen for- like much. Feels like I'm telling you, it lasted. Way better. Better than Zoloft. Wow and you feel great And I'm not also, there's no physical manifestation. like a massager well on them so I knew that there was all I was all sort of One is for one liners that I just couldn't fit anywhere. And did you do it after you had completed your treatment?

46:15 Not suddenly, just like, I don't think I need it. Like, sort of a little roast. Concentrating on the depression and feeling like shit that just it doesn't have the resources Because they say that this particularly running and long form aerobic exercise, it does something to stimulate brain growth. two senses you're hearing it in your head it senses. You're hearing it in your head.

48:36 I actually say it. Like, and then I went to the dark is that that's like no reading no writing you're trying to keep them from getting smart well Like, that is, that's a week ago. subsistence farming. And it's written by a guy named Tanner Colby. integration what was interesting was uh i highly recommend the book but he said And you think like, And it's not a long argument and it's a good argument.

51:45 They'd circle neighborhoods and go, if you live in that neighborhood, you can't get a loan. Where Baltimore, neighborhoods and making them like super rich again yeah that's the saving grace and that's But yeah, like the whole- The Spike Lee racism. With the fucking ragu. But it was, I mean, I might as well have been in a Spike Lee italian yeah you seem italian like you look you look italian i mean that the nicest possible way

54:37 Catcalling was invented by Italian dudes, basically. There's this framed poster that I have on my wall at home. sopranos like here it is this is the photo yeah oh no i know it well absolutely that guy grabbing Oh, my God. really have that whereas italian harassment there's a certain little fucking little maternal Go on. I don't need to live somewhere to experience it for a week or so.

57:56 Stuff that would be under two inch thick glass in America. that lived there. And you thrust your hip and no, she was just telling me, yeah, they have a piece of Jesus' cross. people that guard this church they all have like cataracts and shit. And it's a very strange thing. areas of it and the speculation was that somewhere inside that church is the lost

1:00:15 I don't know what could be substantiated, if anything, about that. reactor in his fucking backyard. advanced lost civilization that had reached an incredible level of sophistication when it came to the ability to manipulate matter and possibly even come up with some sort of a reactor and that that was what the Ark of the Covenant was. That I believe. Yeah, that's confirmed.

1:02:10 Find out how old that fucker is. Hmm. 1930? What is speculation? Because apparently these monks that that guard it they all have thousand stones all cut so No, but I'm saying in terms of My office is up at the point. some of the little camps that the people used to live in and by the food that they were eating They get real weird with what they go on in terms of what's the evidence that someone made this.

1:05:44 that the Sphinx could have entirely been covered in sand. if they know that for sure i know they do know that the nose and the face are different from uh, monkeys in, speaks to just charisma isn't something to like there's something about Whatever you want to say. I'll tell you, doing the Italian thing with your fingers. lifts his hands up and everybody well that's the thing that people underestimate and i don't think

1:08:37 It's like a bully charisma. That's such a good analysis. Yeah, because daddy didn't get his medicine. I don't know if he's... Matt Lauer. You're glib, Matt. Like he would snap. Like he did on Brooke Shields. Yeah. Matt Lauer. You're 100% right. But what's really interesting is what he bounces back on, You know what was a really good movie? Yes! Because I had no expectations.

1:11:51 funny idea so we'll just do that well i saw ghostbusters i didn't see it and i like which you you in some ways the thing i liked about deadpool was i was watching it going the producers i mean there's nothing wrong with being pro-woman but if that's what you're trying to do it's like But like but it just feels like there's got to be like a next a next

1:14:57 via they it's like they have social cachet and they have social power and they use it for the They figure well But that's it. plot right so then women started complaining like well you see us as these binary goofy things wig even though she's not interested and was a shit and was dicky to him but he's still he'll Yeah, but but there's a moment who did who did bridesmaids that I'm talking about it's like a guy same guy who did it

1:18:29 she still wants him to eat her pussy. Right. that takes hours yes days and weeks and months. And you fuck. in the beginning I was enjoying it. Yeah. She's handicapped in it. there was there were some moments I laughed pretty hard great but most of it not yeah it's hard to there had never been a Ghostbuster movie, But that's really a part. from those 70s who went crazy uh god damn it what is robert blake no that was another one

1:22:31 in the theater tv i was i think i saw it on television the first time it was 1972 Death Wish was a white man's dream. And then it was redone with Jason Statham and this other guy who is a really good actor. So he played the Jan Michael Vincent character, which is an interesting sort of twist on things. I'm never like, oh, thank God they're remaking it.

1:24:34 that was the yang li one that was like very emotional yes i gotta say i didn't really like Clunky-ass fucking movie. He just doesn't want to fight? I understand. He's seething. He just keeps it together, but at any moment, he can just let it go. You can't, he can't guide it because it just seems like, hey, Hulk, come. Like didn't you realize like you can't move. What if I fucking move? Yeah

1:27:28 Just keep him on very micro doses of ecstasy all day long. Oh, for sure. The Hulk always had purple pants. P-A-N-T-S. You see the new one? It's a banger. If you laugh at this. Yes. I recommend this clip a lot. you gotta hear the guy set it up go all the way to the back of the clip i don't They were outside the gym. And he lands hard. Yes. so made a sculpture of what the human body would need to look like to withstand a car accident.

1:31:45 Is that what it is? What is all that stuff? But it's just what we're used to. He looks very odd. It looks like an outer spaceship. and it was more than half dead. And it was more than half dead. But it's not ready for me to adopt. Did anybody drop them or crack them? The Sandy one? this is the uh see that see all those fires going on over there in the distance oh that was the

1:35:55 Maybe they don't have a video of it. Yeah, I have a Volt. And pickup's good? And I don't blame Tesla at all for the guy dying recently. get into an accident and they're on the side of the road and the porn is still playing rappers His car flipped. More than a dozen Fisker Karma hybrids caught fire and exploded. Yes, didn't he help? I'm sure people were like, yes,

1:38:25 fucking chaotic moment to be able to predict what's going to happen yeah who did it yeah exactly who And then I ran to a monitor and saw some, but in my head I saw it live, but I just didn't. ones. to hear the real and those are people i think that are a little bit crazy i'm talking about What? But that's exactly the kind of conversations you start having.

1:40:28 Yeah. But in the day, on the second of it. have some bad relationships with their wives, and it's basically when they get together, boyfriend girlfriend if a guy and a girl are dating and they just decide to call it off like around forever right child support alimony but now that it's in more and more cases becoming the In many ways. And it's Like, if you've talked to someone

1:43:15 That's right. He has a family. hundreds of thousands of dollars He was married to her for like 12 years. I guess the question is how important were the women who got these laws Right. It's just strange that someone could, like, people meet each other and then it doesn't work out anymore. Yeah, if that was the case, well, yeah, you have to take responsibility for having sex

1:46:19 It's pulling like as this thing is spiraling down. the legal system is pulling money out of it. have happened if you weren't around i mean your stability in the relationship is part of the Yeah. Like if your lawyer saves you a fuckload of money, he doesn't get a percentage of what he saves you. Right, to attack if you don't get penalized. done quickly yeah the financial benefit is to drag this fucking thing on for two years and then let

1:49:25 If you have $100 billion and you're 90 years old and this girl tells you she loves you and she's with you all the time, she's acting perfect, you don't know that she wants that money. If you're a Donald Sterling type character and you've got some 25-year-old super hot And it's super valuable to you. They're unicorns. Do you believe that it is possible to be legitimately attracted to a Donald Sterling type?

1:51:30 People like furries. Exactly. Like in terms of like, you have to worry about like sex slaves and some you know that's Yeah. It's based on an emotional stunt. Come on, man, that's a weird thing Well, they dress it up. No. if she's dating some super billionaire type, Woo! He had one. I'm sure she must have done something worthwhile. would have you believe and then they get into government they make laws whatever uh then then

1:55:00 is troublesome to some people because if you have a relationship with someone it's a goes against god to their minds it goes against god it's like that's not what god god well it's just you shouldn't be able to tell people what they can or can't do with their body damage from playing football. There's no doubt about it. I don't know now, but yeah. are times on defense where I'll black out and not know what's going on and you

1:57:55 oh, I got a problem, mister. That's the goal is to try to hurt them with your hands or your feet. And they spin or they disgravitate. Every play, i think someone Yeah. Jesus Christ. Oh, my God. It's so primal that you're like, God, it's so exciting. And then there's the warfare element like the the ground warfare of and he was have to admit that he actually did it

2:01:19 yeah, I don't see any reason to not use this. Because it recontextualizes something And that's his reasoning. to himself. You'd have to be able to figure it out. They black out. you must have got and all that shit and my fucking head would be I didn't like headgear. nose. And there's a reason why they had those big cheek. And when that does happen, the problem is then it could delay a fight.

2:05:28 maintain order and especially if you get hit in the base of your head like one of the scariest The shin is basically a switchblade on your leg. But he fought this guy who's just one of the greatest of all time, Yeah, and it just shut Maurice off. Well, it's still hard. Right, but you can kick guys but you can kick. It's like a spinning heel kick. Because it's everything we always wanted to see in karate movies.

2:08:22 You're kicking a guy in a totally illegal spot but you're not trying to acknowledge how how double You can punch them in the back. And one of them involves knees to the head to a downed opponent. you just touch your hand on the ground like as if it's safe and then the guy can't hit you so that's should you be able to knee a guy in the head? That was a big one in Pride.

2:10:39 water lately jamie i hate to admit it i I like sparkling water now. I just think there's cataracts in a description, but it's nothing he's got no evidence. They think it was used for electroplating They would cover stuff. to invent the first wheel Not far after fire? 6,000 and 4,000. This is a potter's wheel What's going on? was it figured out how to make a flint knife you know and then the first people that figured out

2:14:33 Wow. leaves that village yeah that definitely could be it so what is this gentleman doing primitive Well, there's something that I was going to say. like we talked uh for three minutes starting day three we'd talk for three minutes a day with a wheel inside of it that he would spin Yeah. And he started with no fire. Don't eat that. This is insane. This is insane.

2:18:00 Someone had to figure out how to take all the elements that are involved in metal. This is preparing us for the zombie apocalypse. and meditation brings on, just stimulates your brain, makes you happy. Because your brain doesn't know. made me uh really cut back on everything in a way that's very, very positive, I think. And I feel like I really would, it's awful.

2:20:48 That's a big factor in managing the electronic world, is discipline. Is that a word? Lurchedurched sure we know what you meant Makes people happier Of like serotonin Ari does it this way a lot of guys do it. They just let it go as long as it goes yeah There's no, it's not organized. Yeah. It's called motivated reasoning. Like, Well, I don't want exactly right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah

2:24:31 It was discouraged. because i was trying to think of what it was like like i was like basketball camp was like no Let me see how long I can not. Um, so if I couldn't remember something, I'd be like, just hang out. Just to limit the amount of signals. really weird to talk to people like almost like forgot how to talk to people where it's been Like, no, we're in the golden age of information

2:27:42 Wow. When you have the momentum of your life and you just kind of let things keep playing out be like of primary importance because this is like i have to pay these bills hey this i have to deal only got like 50 emails it wasn't like an ungodly amount of emails right uh i got maybe 10 texts bet three hours. You can't even quantify how much they're going to miss him.

2:30:48 And he was a nice guy. But he's setting the tone with his behavior yeah it's not as simple because it is like it did get worse but i think the thing that you said you know, It's, It's so crazy. I mean, he kept saying it too. to believe it's a forgery. to people's uh movie suspicion they want to believe that there's a manchurian candidate I believe he may be an atheist, but I think that's the worst thing you say about him religiously.

2:34:39 I don't know, man. well that's the thing it's he's super authoritarian and some with drones and snowden the, yeah, Yeah, it's on Showtime, yeah. It's like, it is very pro-death and pro, you know, pro-fire, fire, fire all weapons. I feel like it's 80%, even though I'm making that up. Percentage of all merchandise in America. 80% of merchandise is purchased by women.

2:37:41 Oh my God, they're winning. But they market, Yeah, shoes. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. path like there's a bunch of decent looking and you can shoot yeah that's for the bow yeah yeah Interesting. They go like, Danica Patrick is so hot. Yeah, it's super odd, right? Mary Defoe. That's gangster. sense yeah like the sensory perception sense. Yeah They actually survive way more than you think.

2:41:57 theme on this show it's almost like one of those uh top 40 uh morning radio zoo shows where they This is a different one. oh he got jacked son they're not leaving oh my god the guys who are willing I seem pretty happy to be in there. They're not leaving. But they're second of all these Because the bull gets loose. So they let the bull out. They never really fuck with the horses, though,

2:44:19 because of the bull stuff. Come on, Yeah, nothing good's going to happen. Do you know what a scrub bull is? they have different genetics now because they've been wild for so long and they're not like an Angus cow. would need a lion or something like that to kill one of these things and they get cool looking like That's a bull. or horns, rather. He's doing great.

2:47:18 I don't know if that's... I've seen this. Yeah, that is crazy. Look at the strides on this motherfucker. I know they're shitting their pants So cool. can slam into each other like super hard but their brains are literally connected to their mountains oh these things these fucking things look at that antlers on that thing. Look at this. Boom! Boom. Oh, my God.

2:51:00 I mean, look at this fucking animal. They brought them to a bunch of different states. But what happened was, I guess, And it took a probably like the nicest violence i mean to us it would suck if they head butted us, but it doesn't seem to bother them still going on. watching those things headbutt each other may just makes you weirded out as to how the different ways that things evolve, but they're all a kind of life.

2:53:53 Such a cool animal. see a lot of dicks day to day you see so many dicks like on animals and dogs it's crazy yeah Yeah. Like, say, Phoenix. to another air-conditioned room. not though because old people go to florida and into like they go to it yeah they thrive it seems The fucking power might go out. and if that does happen and the the power grid stays down during the winter in some place and

2:56:57 It's fine. went through a week with with uh no power in the middle of like an ice storm and like we survived Like, that's a theory. No, I know, but they still are like, it's perfect climate, and people are like, no. I've always enjoyed hanging out with people in san diego i think it's a it's an interesting combination between like military and like surfers yeah

2:59:10 Yeah. But I did Laughing Skull in Atlanta last weekend. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I don't know. want to give back to the comedy clubs. Right? Yeah. Agreed. But there's something that happens when people, I think definitely happens when you don't get the respect you think that you deserve early on. this thing of like it forces you as a comic to go like well when i get the chance to fuck you

3:02:38 when think about like the lenny bruce days when he first started out he used to have to mc yeah every news division lost money, to someone like how john came how his rise to power and colbert and all these people because Joe Rogan, your thoughts. Well, the thing is I almost don't even know how to fix the shit. Like, even if we think that it's a ridiculous idea, we need to abolish the whole thing and start from scratch.

3:06:05 mean and as much as it's like because it's a weird job i don't know anyone who's just like that Right, but I don't even think kings needed to do that. in any way promoting of themselves yeah a selflessly you want a selfless person who legal that the scientists agree should be legal right and then everything else is dangerous we Obama released or exonerated a bunch of drug war victims today.

3:08:38 Like, if you fuck up, you're fucking me, basically. how does that work? are you an ex-felon? The president has magic. Hankley went free the other day. John Hankley. After 35 years. Who was he trying to shoot? Wow. He're trying to get Obama killed. After 35 years. Hey, bro. Brought her back. I'm doing 3 Mikes. Yeah, it would be pretty great. Yeah, look it up if you're interested because it's really, really,

3:11:28 And the numbers are really good. Who gets hurt? But once we get there. Everybody knows it. You're a good man as well. Yeah. I like you. Good to see you, buddy. Nice your life clearer. Yes. Yes. You're a good boy, Joe. Everybody knows it. Fun.
