0:00 Shhh, you guys hear that? You hear that shit? That's the rain. That's how hard it's raining here. people, Jamie. What did it say on your with standup comedians, You won. You're out there doing like bars with three people in them and you're doing three, four Yep. the comedy store when i went to see ari was doing his his special, and he had decided to film his first Comedy Central special at the store.

2:45 And so I was sitting up there, and I was wow this is crazy this is a totally different thing like there's so much life to it that, it was just also just having you show up and just be a part of that. there like a bomb had gone off and like these are the survivors that just moved back to the city is like there's there was certain people that didn't work anywhere else but like really shitty

5:07 It's crazy. Just walking around. And I remember I was just like, oh my God, I can't believe it's Ron White. We did the factory last week and then it pumps up the business and and then guys like you get in. Because it's like doing—I got to host when we were at the Laugh Factory that Wednesday, and was bananas because it was just like meeting the booker and the

7:00 Your position is better than my position It's really odd, too, because of just how many people have seen the roast battle. people were like crying like other comp but also me winning was such a weird thing because it was But also it shows you that you can do it. You kept doing it. connection in Boston, which was a little tiny room. here i don't think it's hard to get cracking i think it's tougher definitely but i think if

10:04 And that's what I did. Tell him to start an agency. know i could go to that mic in two and a half hours but you're growing in some weird way. But by the time you get to that third show, And that's where a lot of times new ideas come from. for too long you know come on man and now it's different because it's like i'm in a weird position Well, you definitely have to get frantic now about creating new material.

12:50 You know, because he was used to doing those. Maybe I've done it like two or three times, but I mean, I haven't done it in like recent It's one 30 in the morning and the host is about to finish the show. at 1 30 in the morning in front of two people and that was like the most funnest I've ever had they're not caterers, things like that. once people like you and you're cool,

15:03 Because we all know that we are that person. everybody like everybody working the door that has dreams to probably any any endeavor whether you're you want to become a an artist or a surgeon or whatever And then eventually you figure it out. They want to be the only person who shines. It's like it's like you have to be nice to everybody cuz you never know who's gonna be who yeah

17:40 Helps everybody. And sometimes it's like unnerving because you know they've seen your act and you're working on these new bits. who you are and moses who runs the show and coach t both just they were like you're you're here to Yeah. Like, I can only work phones. it's like someone called me and was like uh can you work phones and i was like yeah i'll work

19:39 And then I let everyone else do like the critiques and stuff. And, you know, you got to figure out what's fucked up about Bob Smith's head. It's so blah, blah, blah. It's also performance and it's like the last especially in the finals it'll take the momentum out of that last joke. Oh my God. Like soul-searing shit like these jokes, because they had us memorize the two guys we, the guy we

23:03 one possible overtime. Yeah. cut man which is like my boy dan nolan he helps you strategy oh yeah yeah that's what they did mean so i can't like all this new stuff every week but then when you're doing standup, you're doing a lot of stuff that you've already done before. Where's that book? Yeah, and he talks about it. Now it's like I walked into Levity and the manager knew me.

26:51 Ralphie May probably worked harder than anybody after that show. I'll still do someone's quinceanera for 20 bucks. especially like i do it does suck that i'm not going to be at the store as much working there up to me and ask me like, are you going to be a paid regular? And it was one of those things not yesterday, that crazy rant that he went He's going crazy.

29:12 electoral college by, and that it's the greatest landslide ever. I think it was the guy from CNN calling him out on his lies because he says He looks like a crazy person you can see No, no, no, no, no. So you get so fucked up from these things in a weird way Why was she worried about you? she just doesn't want me to, You know, Dude, you're a man. Cause it's hilarious.

33:26 So why should Americans trust you? Well, no, I was told I was given that information. I was given. This is craziness. He's like, Which was like, He just goes, I told that Barron Trump joke. a but it was it was just so funny because it was like the next day a It's just weird. I felt like it was, it was a higher standard. Don't make a habit of it. As you said, it's a play on words.

36:49 think that's i think they're wrong and i think that's a perfect point because it's like you have I think he definitely, I think from what we can see, gone through the scrutiny of the general public in an entertainment sense yeah and in a sort of uh but it's somehow or another almost always prosperous. Yes. Right? Oh, yeah. Yeah. It's just really, It's,

40:52 Oh, yeah, because as the president Remember that? And in a lot of ways, you know, that was what you need after some sort of a global crisis like that. funny when when did the war end there how much later after that mission accomplished did the These are all just people. It's just a system. It feels, it doesn't feel real. yeah it seems like this is a fun one to play it seems like there's a lot of game elements in it

44:42 That was in place was insanely corrupt and I think they're right me and they're banking on him being the solution to that All scientists? astrophysics. where it's like like i'm an idiot but i'm also pretty kind of well versed on a lot of things People, you shouldn't talk about something you don't shit. I don't need to from what I've looked at. But the thing that I'm

47:34 really nice people yeah i make this joke now where it's like i joke about losing my id and how that's And it's like, yeah, maybe. It is my favorite. which is fine, you know what I mean? No, I don't even think, I don't think from now, it's going to go away a thousand years from now. It's preposterous. It's like, like hey well we killed all the indians no i Indians no I don't bitch the zero direct connection to me and ending Indian deaths

50:32 Yeah. You want to play sports? if we had some sort of a mega could be a 45,000 mile an hour chunk of rock that slams into us. There's supposed to be like 900,000 near-Earth objects between us and Jupiter. Tyson put up a diagram of the Earth and just the solar system. He posted it. Oh, yeah, that's it. humanity is just a second. Some 876 of those are asteroids with a diameter of approximately one kilometer or larger.

54:11 Potentially hazardous asteroids, 1,785. apparently is the reason why we are alive because jupiter is so massive that it draws everything Get the fuck And there's a great diagram of an asteroid hitting what Earth-1 is what they described it as. It takes approximately 27 days for the moon to rotate on its axis. It's just the way we spin and it's just floating in the sky

57:34 to have people smarter than us out there so we can find this out can you imagine if you and i had to See, science is just such a fucking incredible thing that someone could figure that out and about people is that we all act collectively whether we know it or not we all act collectively And after I had my nose fixed, I was blowing out the most disgusting blood boogers.

59:24 I showed it to Tom Segura once. at it, man. That's my favorite. realize it there's like when you're constantly surfing you get water shoved up your nose all One came between us and the moon, didn't it? Everyone calls me that now when I walk around. I'm just like I had him on the podcast From the source Jesus Christ, it was last month, people. that could kill us asteroid came within the half a distance from earth to the moon

1:02:15 What is the cis... called asteroid 2017 10 miles per second! It's so fast they couldn't see it. it goes it's where it goes when it gets down to almost everyone's dead and there's almost no life He's going to terrify Joe today. Pass between Earth and the Moon. Late 0.68 lunar distances, about 162,252 miles. Do you think they tell... Well, no one wants to feel completely, totally helpless.

1:05:34 I've actually heard that. Then they find a planet that like lit. They think is literally just a diamond another planet just floating right above you and there's they're everywhere they're everywhere I think there's a diagram of It's an application on the VR thing I've got on the HTC Vive. It's super cool looking. Oh, yeah. oh i would love to do just weed and mushrooms on that that'd be crazy you might not even need it

1:08:54 Space junk. What is it? We left shit floating in the sky above our head. Wait, does that mean that there's more junk now in space? tens of thousands of pieces that are over 10 centimeters in size, People are so bananas. Like one a month or one every week? and then come right back down. I had a whole joke about that. Fuck you. space. We're just in the best possible neighborhood.

1:12:04 that'll definitely kill you. I'm just sitting there going, Or you see them crash together, but there's no sound. Does that make sense though yeah also just real quick on that jack the asteroid that hit jupiter it wasn't I mean, who knows how often it does happen. dead brother floating over our head every day but he's only like 10 that's why he's so little

1:13:53 when my parents were my age, you couldn't just Google it. It doesn't feel, this is my feeling. Everyone's just willing to shout as loud as possible. Yeah. Yeah. It's hilarious. I see it. It's so common now. Yeah. When they're mimicking the way Trump tweets. Yeah. I see it. I know, right? This is what I could find on that Earth. Where's that? are so goddamn smart?

1:17:13 Yeah. No matter what you're saying. The reality of what you're looking at what you're focusing on if you look close to your you got to deal with the consequences of, You know, Yeah, I wasn't talking about hit like like what people call other people hit. He's like Hitler word now. It is. It's so funny. It's funny the things that we find offensive. Nah, man.

1:19:55 based on what we look like or what part of the country we're in. And that's eventually going to Yeah, just like you know like you could just pack up moved, Florida And he was an immigrant to this country and he felt a certain way around, about other Yeah. like maybe 10 years or so it seems like the have, they're much more organized in their ability to protest,

1:22:20 It's hard to think that every time you buy anything, anytime you do any kind of interacting with someone, a lot of the stuff that you're getting is coming from places where people live hard lives. they start manufacturing things. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That jump off the roof so much Oh, absolutely. New phones. I think the most recent theory is that they were very skilled workers

1:24:47 Like those things were like really like art. who are figuring out how to stack these gigantic stones perfectly on top of each other and make that exist all throughout history, and they propel us forward people that were almost as skilled as them do And they're all doing this somehow or another when they didn't even have steel. mechanical engineers and electronic engineers at the ready.

1:26:59 like iPhones, They can take a fucking beating. God damn it, stop. where it rebounds a little bit? That shit. It's headed this way. Jesus Christ. oh, And I remember listening to him, and he was talking about how when you look at stars, And when they look deeper and deeper into the universe, It's just hard. Are we right? We have discovered that the Earth is 4.7 billion years old.

1:30:00 that we've already figured out. movie. go, that is an insane accomplishment. Have a nice one of them little hats. Yeah, man. Because you can't speak Spanish? But now it's the point where it's like it's much more of a benefit to learn multiple languages Hilarious. look the drama that'd be that'd be a great credit just to die on Joe Rogan's podcast. Dude, don't die. I won't.

1:33:23 It's all the fucking water some mexicans are a lot more No, I'm just going to look at the water coming in. Hmm. Want to shut that light off In case you're in an area where your roads could be closed or there's a mudslide, where to go. It's raining. Ooh, it's coming down hard. much of a hill either i mean you know it's decent but whatever was behind it was the problem it like

1:36:13 Not deep enough for my taste. I know there was this mining operation. I hit the radius. It says about I don't think that's deep enough for me. Oh, God. But do they know exactly that they're never going to drill a hole into the lava and have this. And they'll try to boom! And right out of the I'm looking at diamonds right now. Well, they are definitely

1:39:09 You've got to give it up for the Jews. How is that racist? You fuckhead. not a good word, a collective of incredible minds Yeah. You're one of those Yeah I love riding it out When you're talking about diamonds But you know there's like And they can take it home and they can find hundreds or thousands of dollars worth of and I just thought maybe you'd heard about it

1:42:12 apartment. I have my apartment in New York. Shell is pretty shitty too, but I would have And it was like insurmountable for me. what? each other i don't know if you've ever seen that that's really nuts yeah i remember it was 700 Look at that. And it actually does work, People fuck things up, man. That's had to have happened, or maybe it's because they stacked them,

1:44:49 actual attempt where, um, before I'd always had day jobs at a day job driving limos. I had a day and then living in New York City. this is the first month I was ever able to pay like my bills and everything off Yeah, man. But that's a great feeling, when you to be for you too funny and is a hard worker you know that's like the which you would try to maintain you try to

1:47:33 Do you feel, do you feel certain about everything? know what I mean it's like if I've worked so hard now why wouldn't I keep working harder Tony hustles. Yeah, he is. It was right after you guys did a set, I think you have to. Yeah, he would say, I don't even need it. People and their iPads. But really smart about it, too. Which is really like that main room show on a Saturday night

1:50:44 And, you know, I got to ghost write too, send jokes in. Yeah, for sure. Yeah, it is beautiful to see a guy like Moses get to host a show too. like nah man stop fucking being a bitch you know he's like you can either get mad or work and get No, for sure. Well, it was you telling me that, too. Yeah. he could barely talk and he would drink and it was just real weird you know it was real weird he

1:53:23 and the honesty that Black people, white people, people that were rich, people that were poor. like even as remotely as controversial and as insightful and the way he could perform the way he it shows him walking out on stage. And he just, it's like, I think, I don't know if he gets right into it, but he just, you like uh when peewee herman came back out after that huge thing happened he walks out i think it

1:55:49 man that was a really fascinating one because people kind of stood up for him like yeah like Yeah. Right? Yeah. Fuck, leave him alone. Who are you saving? You know other dudes in there watching people fuck. Yeah, exactly People want to see how good you fuck. Like it's entirely possible that people would be fucking in front of each It's like, I'm working on this hot fuck move for like a minute,

1:58:05 but it's also there's motion involved. But other than that, like, you know, why are you really doing that? Oh, no way. They all seem pretty creepy. Yeah. Oh, Jesus Christ. And so people just get together and they, no, I mean just humans collectively as a whole. Just the look of joy on some of these guys. They put those virtual HTC Vive goggles on, No, no.

2:00:19 There's got to be... out. You can get in one of those helicopters. Yeah. It's insane. their land now like they go back to where their land is like like gps'd out uh-huh and they like I think in Hawaii what they should have is land set aside for people whose houses get It's got to be lava insurance. Give away their fucking land? something like that you know like hey this is my this is my land don't come don't come inside this

2:04:33 into the dock living on this volcano in the middle of nowhere i mean you're living in a magical land It's got a little house. This insane idea that you're going to somehow or another state claim. that place. That is, that on... And there's nothing they can do See the guy to the left of that? That scares the shit out of me. They study it real close. There's been a go to those places and just get super close and study that. That scares the shit out of me.

2:06:57 The one you were just, your cursor, right to the right of that. And you have these fucking evil demon bears that jump into the lava lake. One of the, if that thing hits you Oh god, imagine just a blob of that How incredible What the fuck are they doing? Oh, how about this? Yeah. I used to cook with high temperature, and I just tried this last week with low temperature.

2:09:09 No, no. I gotta get back into it. Yeah? Yeah. You do, dude. It Most of the time, no. Or I'll try to make myself a sandwich. I'm the most unhealthiest person. Yeah. Why don't you start doing it again? I've been to Machado's. That's close, too. I've been to Machado's. Southern California really, in this country. Chet is probably one of my favorite ones do you ever follow viral bjj on instagram

2:11:23 and everybody starts doing it, I'm like, okay, that wasn't around. It's like the same thing with striking. In terms of elbows, knees, it doesn't make any sense to limit clenching. Like you see a lot of crazy moves in jiu-jitsu that you might not see if you had soccer kicks or stomps. and then from there you can really start to learn how to bend the rules.

2:13:16 like people look at it in terms of like this There's a recent fight between Chris Weidman and Yoel Romero. That's not like a regular dude. Yeah, I heard. Still training. Especially a guy like George St. Pierre. And I've had the opportunity to drill with him and do some kick moves with him, go over some stuff. Might not. Fluent English and fluent French.

2:16:44 How can you do that if it hasn't really been signed? I was going to say he opened up as a minus 2,500, But Teddy Atlas had something very interesting to say. If McGregor decided to start kicking Floyd and decided to take him down, Floyd is a dead man. And if he doesn't do that, he'll kick him from the outside. to start kicking Floyd's legs, like if they agreed on that, like some sort of a, uh, Inoki

2:19:02 and Inoki would look like he was going to... he's kicking the inside of his legs this is probably when ali was banned does that make That's crazy. How nuts is that? That's the thing about boxing Almost 33,000 people showed up for that It says no limitations on kicking or grappling, He's been on the podcast. Whoa. Wow. That could be one of them plot lines.

2:22:24 Were you a big wrestling fan? Yeah, Tony Hinchcliffe still to this day loves wrestling. damn, they have a, Than me giving Tony a hard time for liking wrestling I had a friend in high school who was training to become a wrestler So they can judge the pain. I mean, wrestling involves a lot of contact. one of my dad's favorite movies, and I remember watching that

Giant blue people that I like bows and arrows better, man. Well, I see people use all sorts of different things to sort of make their point. What do you care, you fucks?
