Joe Rogan podcast check it out The Joe. Rogan Experience Train by day Joe Rogan. podcast by night all. day as far as like cage fighting. commentators that's that's what you're. classifying pad comedian SL cage. fighting commentator fighting. commentator I got a pretty solid IQ for. that no that's great so you said it was. uh the average there's 16% of America.

that has below 85 IQ correct so that's. the cut off for military service so we. can't take somebody in this is the kind. of talk to start Hitler. off like when they start getting some. master race eugenic cuz you know like I. would never ever say that people. shouldn't breed I would never say. anything like that I would never you. would I would never are. you if we in El Hy Camp I [ __ ] tell.

you that but publicly I would never say. that you would never say it on this. podcast yeah I mean here's the thing I. don't know what my parents IQs were what. if my parents were you know like what if. uh my they got IQs and their IQ tests. were really low but I mean isn't it. possible that someone who's like not. that bright has a super smart kid like. to give him enough vaccines and the kid. comes out a genius I hope that's the. case for my. kids.

like God I hope so I I hope they got a. little bit more than I do yeah life's. hard when you're stupid oh my God so. hard when you're dumb God I've had. conversations with dudes and like. halfway in the conversation I'm like. this poor [ __ ] with this dim. light bulb like typically me that's the. way I feel where I'm like ah I'm running. this thing to the red you know like I've. got Max RPMs going on up here down here. yeah I God I had dinner with um Eric.

Weinstein yeah see that's what I'm. talking about it's crazy I'm just trying. to like impossible to keep up it's like. you're at V2 Max and he hasn't even like. stepped off the curb mentally yeah he's. like let me explain this to you he he. got out the crayons and Drew me some. pictures this [ __ ] works dude he. literally wrote I don't even know if. it's been disproven see this is the. thing the stuff that he discusses is so. complex that there's only like um what. what are the amount of people in the.

world that could even argue with him. about it but he wrote he wrote a Theory. of Everything The Theory of Everything. and he he announced it on this podcast. he like published this Theory and he's. putting it out there for people to judge. and I don't know how it's been received. I don't know but how how would I know I. mean I would never understand who's. right like one of the things that I've. learned during Co this whole trusty. experts thing suck my dick okay that's. nonsense there's a lot of these people. that are [ __ ] full of [ __ ] and bought.

and paid for and I don't trust just the. experts anymore I trust some experts I. trust if I can understand what they're. talking about and I know where maybe. their conflicts lie I can see well why. would they be ignoring certain studies. but highlighting others oh there's a. conflict of interest oh there's some. money involved oh maybe there's a. revolving door and they can get into. some nice agency or some Corporation. after they're done with the agency I I.

can kind of look at that but it takes. time with this [ __ ] when what he's. talking about I have no idea who the. experts are I have no idea what he's. literally talking about a theory of. everything he you we were and it was. Brian Ken and me and it was a wild. conversation because did she even get to. talk yeah yeah. Brian and Eric wein how much did you get. to talk I got to talk like 10% of the. time which I felt that's a solid number.

yeah that's a solid number like I showed. up I got I got up to bat you know I I I. can't say I ever hit the ball but I was. at least participating dude I've had. conversations with Jordan Peterson where. we've had a three and a half hour. conversation I've talked for three. minutes now that does not surprise me at. all because he can go he can go that guy. can go he go have you watched those uh. the monk debates with him those are. incredible amazing like him and uh was.

it Malcolm Gladwell um that that debate. when he Douglas Murray yes Jordan. Peterson like that that thing was so. good because I just love watching those. guys intellectually eviscerate people. because it's hilarious to me I do but it. it becomes a bit of an intellectual rap. battle and that's what I don't like. about it yeah okay I just feel like it's. beneath those guys and when I see guys. like Malcolm like dunking on people I'm.

like yeah shouldn't we just be. discussing the data like shouldn't you. instead of trying to invoke an emotional. response from someone I understand why. you would do that if you were [ __ ]. with someone if you wanted to like have. an argument with someone but like what. what is this publicly for why is it. public well it's public because we're. trying to understand who's right and. who's wrong I want to know why you think. the way you think there's clearly many. different schools of thought when it. comes to many cultural things I and. people are fiercely opposed to the other.

side I want to know where you're coming. from if you're dunking on people like. now I do know where you're come from I. don't like that I don't like I don't CU. like first of it's not even that funny. if you're going to do it be good at it. like be [ __ ] funny and also it's not. necessary to this argument this this. discussion you should really be talking. about why you really believe what you. believe and what you think is wrong with. this opposing opinion not just being. silly I I love but I do I love the the.

debate stage like I love that forum for. two people to take a topic I used to. watch debates the I think PBS used to do. a series on just you know they take one. topic and they chew it up and they. figure out where is the crowd before and. then where was the crowd after and. they're fascinating because when people. are going from opposing points they're. going back and forth if they stick to. facts they don't get personal because. that's when it actually starts to get. like really now you're just kind of.

being personal you're degrading the. actual conversation you're not going. it's not a fight it's not like from my. perspective you look at it you're like. it's kind of like watching a match where. you're watching two guys go back and. forth hit for hit yes and seeing guys. like Jordan and and Douglas Murray or. some of those guys really Flex it's it's. pretty it it's pretty funny to me like I.

is the goat at that when it comes to. like religious debates that guy's the. best at that [ __ ] cuz he has this. measured tone and he never loses his. cool and he has so much [ __ ]. information that's when I became a fan. of his is watching those religious. debates yeah you know cuz like sometimes. when people believe a thing so much they. haven't ever looked at the thing the way. someone who doesn't believe in the thing. looks at it right when you got get a guy.

like Sam who's so eloquent and is not. buying it and he has a a bunch of like. really logical reasons why he's not. buying it and some of them are pretty. funny yeah and when he brings those up. in front of you and then the audience is. laughing it's like ooo this is a tough. spot to be because they trying to pull. out all the stops try to figure out why. you're right when you when you got that. much power to not only debate somebody. on a on a subject with an encyclopedia. of information.

and you. canis you canic you can keep a measured. tone that pretty [ __ ] skilled oh he's. he's a wizard at that [ __ ] yeah he's a. wizard at that [ __ ] I I but it's a game. you know you're playing it's a it's like. Jiu-Jitsu it's like chess it's like. you're playing this game there a bunch. of moves and trying to figure out who. can get their moves off but I think. people genuinely want to know like did. you ever see that movie there's a.

documentary about. um God what was it. called the one about gor Vidal and um. that what's that guy the best of enemies. yes best of enemies seen gor Vidal and. what's the [ __ ] other guy's name I. always forget his name Willi Buckley. yeah William Buckley so Buckley is the. conservative and gval is the the the and. they aired these I think it was on NBC. is that what it was on ABC or NBC oh. yeah but it got huge ratings like they.

were losing in the ratings and this was. kind of a Hail Mary have William F. Buckley is the leading conservative and. gor Vidal who's this wild liberal and so. they were on uh moderated on ABC yeah. ABC uh news coverage of the Republican. National Convention in Miami so this is. 1968 they're [ __ ] great man yeah. because the one of the things that. people are knowing through learning. through podcast when you talk about guys. like Eric Weinstein or guys like Jordan. Peterson or Sam Harrison people want to.

hear people talk for they want to. there's the people that are above that. 85. IQ you know what is it 84% of the. population the people that are above. those [ __ ] people want they want to. hear how interesting intelligent people. are discussing ideas and you don't see. any of that [ __ ] on TV except Bill. Marshall but even bill marshow there's a. lot of people talking over each other. and it's got a it's an hour everything's. got to fit in and out it's on HBO which.

is why I think he's doing his own show. he's doing his own yeah it's like after. dark or something I CL random CL random. it's very good I've seen it it's very. good and he's really himself in that. like the Bill Mar if you want to chill. with Bill and have a drink he's he he. really does a fantastic job of just. being himself it's not isn't that. interesting when you when you think. about uh Bill Maher and his you know his. kind of um outward appearance from his. political point of view which is. typically going to be left yeah and then.

guys that go on a show and they have. this really complex interesting. conversation but for for a bunch of. people they won't even watch bill. because he's left they won't even watch. so they're going to stick in their Echo. chamber they're going to continue to. kind of uh propagate out speaking points. from either platform they're never going. to go out and watch different things. just based on a person's political view. yeah joining a political party being in. a political party like ideologically in.

your head is not good for you it's bad. for like there are a lot of things that. people who are on the right uh believe. that I agree with and there's a lot of. things that people on the left believe. and I agree with and I refuse I refuse. to be a part of this left versus right. thing I think it's stupid I think it's. bad for us I think it's a trap yeah I. think it's a really dumb trap in America. and Bill Mar says a lot of really wise. [ __ ] and he says a lot of [ __ ] about.

culture that goes against the ideology. that he's a part of being he's as deep. in the Hollywood system as is humanly. possible he's a political host on a show. on. HBO I mean that's like deep Hollywood. right you know he he knows where the sex. parties are at because he's probably. he's probably the guy setting the pin. yeah he knows who's wearing the goat. mask you know like if there's a [ __ ]. Illuminati in Hollywood that guy's. meanwhile you know he does all these.

jokes in his monologue about. transitioning kids right about like hey. maybe we shouldn't just break out the. dicksa right away and I'm like yo bill. is going for it that because he never. stopped being a comic Bill Maher out of. all these guys that become hosts of talk. shows he never stopped just being a. comic he never stopped touring he never. stopped doing all of his live shows. never stopped being a comic that's what.

separates bill cuz there's a lot of. these guys look man you get a job like. the host of The Tonight Show or. something along those lines that you are. [ __ ] set baby let's go I'm buying a. Ferrari Ian I got a house in Maui you. know like you're balling out of control. and there's a lot of lot of like. pressure to keep that going and to. appease the people that would make those. decisions and to also be as marketable. as humanly possible to everybody out.

there in the world so that you can. maintain this job so whether or not. there's like verbal not they sit you. down and say hey this is what you have. to say you support a woman's right to. choose you support immigration you. support you know racist IDs are racist. like there like things you have to say. you're with the vaccine aren't you Jimmy. like yeah I'm with the vaccine like you. have to [ __ ] they don't necessarily sit. you down and do that but you you [ __ ]. know.

[ __ ] know I I mean it's it's um. unwitting or witting essentially. extortion to a certain degree because. you're saying if you don't cooperate. you're going to be on the streets and. you're not going to get picked for stuff. no like it it's a but it's a tyranny. that like if so there's one person or. one group that has the overwhelming part. of discerning who makes it or who. doesn't make it they have the ability to. choose who's the Rock. yeah yeah they have the ability to.

choose they're they're going to put this. guy in the movies cuz let me tell you. something as good as Tom Cruz is and. he's a great actor as good as Brad Pit. is he's a great actor there's some. unknown 28-year-old that can do exactly. what they can do right now exactly it's. not it's a different kind of skill it's. not like boxing like we don't know who. the best boxer is we [ __ ] know who. the best boxers are you know we watch. them right these guys are out there in. like little plays [ __ ] and you you have.

no idea how good they are because they. don't get chosen yet mhm and there's. thousands of them and they're all trying. to go to the same spot with a very. limited amount of slots for them to get. into and I mean think about what they. little window of time yeah cuz you got. to get in there while you're attractive. or your skin still looks good or. whatever I. mean I mean look at those guys they're. they're they're running it as far as. they can I mean how old is Tom Cruz like. 80 he's a thousand years old yeah he's a.

vampire like he looks [ __ ] great he. looks awesome and he's still jumping out. of planes like he's flying planes BR his. [ __ ] ankle on a stunt jumping between. two buildings there's a video of him. shattering his ankle yeah like that guy. in regardless of of you know all the. crazy stuff that he said I think the. crazy stuff he says is a good part of it. I think you think so yeah I think that's. why he's so good listen man I SAR off. dating actresses when I was like 20 S I. was like they're just too much work just.

too crazy especially really good ones. cuz I'm not saying if you're a really. good actress you have to be nuts but boy. it would help it would really help cuz. they they can lock into a role in some. [ __ ] insane way that you you know. like they're crying screaming and crying. and nothing happened but they're. pretending but there you would think. their mom just died right in front of. them yeah it's crazy the the ability. ility to do that is nuts and some people.

just have it and there's a lot of them. out there and I would imagine if you're. really good at that like you don't think. Daniel de Lewis is crazy oh man he he. strikes me as one he strikes me as czy. he he also strikes me is fascinating. like what's going on in his brain being. able to compartmentalize emotion and do. the things that he's done those scenes. from uh there will be what There Will Be. Blood yes holy holy [ __ ] dude dude when. he that that's when he uh he crushes.

that guy's skull in the bowling alley in. his basement that might be one of the. single greatest scenes in in movie. history when he he is so intense he's so. perfect at that role and the camera. angles and the way that they were yeah. they they were feeding that to the. audience was so [ __ ] brilliant so. good I drink your. milkshake and he's like making the the.

the straw like this putting my straw. there like that guy is incredible he's. incredible have you have you had him on. the show no I don't even know if he does. things. this Jesus. Christ like. everything.

Jesus. Christ just everything beat that guy to. death with a bowling pin and then every. little piece of that yeah was put. together perfectly from the from the way. that his his face was contorted to the. level of breathing that he was. participating in and then as he falls. down this is just so.

incredible what is. itation I am the third Revelation I told. you I would eat you I told you I would. eat you up we. brother. brother amazing please forgive me I beg. you I'm I don't remember what he. did what did he do that he's beaten him. to death I I can't remember either I.

think he. just I mean who knows I I looked at the. the individual scenes in the movie and I. was like this is [ __ ] awesome oh he's. insane yeah he's incredibly good I think. I think it would help I think that's. what's helping with Tom Cruz I think. being nutty helps yeah you have to be. yeah or at least maybe how much you have. it in you you maybe you can keep it. together most of the time you know. there's do you know there's people that. like they keep it together most of the.

time but if something goes sideways. there's like a little switch you see go. off in their head you're like oh the. other Brad is here. now crazy Brad is here I've known a few. of those guys of course you do we both. know guys like that so like there's. places that some people like they don't. have that room in their house and this. guy's like I want to show you this room. and you open it's a [ __ ] gigantic man. cave with tanks in there and [ __ ]. garage lifts and pistols all over the.

wall you're like oh I didn't know you. had this room I I didn't I I like it. when uh when you discover people that. are secret Preppers that they they keep. it they keep it way underneath their. their their overt personality and then. you're like I was shooting this [ __ ]. with some guy a couple months ago and. he's like so um you know me prepping I. was like oh yeah I love it it's awesome. it's like you know I don't play Fantasy. Football I I like participate in these. like you know preparation games or. whatever cuz it's it's it's just an. interesting thought exercise to walk.

yourself through and know by the way if. something happens you also have kind of. a a group of contingencies that you can. operate from and he's like okay and it. was like I passed the test because I was. like yeah man let's go and then he. started unpacking everything for me he. like oh yeah I got a shipping container. buried on my property like yeah that's. cool so do I yeah I like that I like it. when I see that stuff well it is a good. thing to know you know Mike Glover's. great at that which got him labeled a.

terrorist I. think he's [ __ ] explaining to people. how to prepare in case things go. sideways and they're like you are a. problematic individual yeah I I don't. know how that happen well I do know how. that happens you. have I think you have a bunch of people. within the the federal government that. that have a political agenda Andor they. don't understand they see any and. everyone in the country that owns a.

firearm is some type of you know threat. at some point. and they have to be what I would say is. familiar with all aspects of America. they have to really understand like hey. there's a group of people out there that. prepare for the worst hope for the best. that's what they do and they're really. into it and just because they're going. to the range with a group of friends and. they're preparing doesn't make them. domestic terrorists just makes them. prepared prepared yeah and here's the.

thing that I think people should put in. their. heads does everybody remember let me I'm. going speak to people that live in Los. Angeles because this is where it gets. rare does everybody remember the lines. outside the gun stores do you remember. during the riots there was lines outside. the gun stores listen to me kids keep. that energy keep that energy because. that didn't go away forever no that was. just a couple of years ago and the.

weirdness of Life the weirdness of the. way the world Works some [ __ ] could pop. off anywhere and everywhere that's real. that's a real possibility we all saw. what just happened in Israel it's a real. possibility that some [ __ ] could pop off. and to bury your head in the sand and. pretend that that's not possible that. doesn't help anybody it doesn't help. anybody and to. prepare why is preparing bad do you. think that. do you think that's a um you think it's.

part of the cultural differences between. people like just in general between like. red and blue and people they they what I. would say is the question is there's. people that are really individual they. want to take accountability and there's. other people that are like I want to. bury my head in the sand and I want the. government to take care of everything. yeah yeah you think that's part of it. it's part of it but there's. also there's a weird there's a weird. denial of possibility that comes along.

with not wanting preparedness and it's. one of the rare times when I look at. someone like Mike Glover being labeled a. terrorist it's one of the rare times I. go well there might actually be a. conspiracy to keep people weak yeah that. might they might want to look at people. like that as resistance to. authoritarianism and they want to squash. that it's one of the rare times where I. don't look at it objectively I look at.

decisions like that I go oh you like. weak people you only want weak people. you don't want people to challenge you. once you get into Power you don't want. people to say hey that's against the law. or hey this is this is not the way we're. supposed to be operating you want people. to just comply and when no one's armed. people comply and when everyone's armed. it's really hard to get people to comply. especially if they're kind of in. agreement if there's a large percentage. of us that are in agreement like like. know you can't listen to all my phone.

calls right like you're just a person. whether you work for whatever [ __ ]. agency if I'm a guy who works at a tire. shop who doesn't do anything wrong and. you want to listen to all my phone calls. what you're just a person what you. should be look if you find a guy who you. know is [ __ ] wearing a suicide vest. is about to walk into a wall you know. something's going on yeah listen to that. guy's phone and if you got a chain of. terrorists that you're studying and you. need to listen to their phones [ __ ] yeah. to their but if a guy just likes to can.

peaches and he owns a couple of 9 mm in. an AR you want to listen to his phone. hey Ben [ __ ] you wait did you did you. see where um this was last week or maybe. the week before last they were talking. about how they had TSA uh Air Marshals. following people that were in DC not. even at the capital but they were in DC. during January 6th so they just been. following these people around the United. States have you have you seen this wow. what yeah they were saying they don't. have the resources over uh the.

Thanksgiving travel period to staff the. security needs from the uh like Airlines. because they had people that were Air. Marshals I believe I and I'm scrolling. through this following people that were. just in DC they weren't even like. implemented in anything it was wild dude. what do they foll him for what the I. don't know I. think I mean I think there's a level of. intrusiveness in the government that is. just at some point we have to say it's.

unacceptable like I. think I mean obviously this is a long. podcast we don't need to like take down. the temperature just yet but I. think man I I don't quite understand why. they want that level of surveillance. activity around people that quite. literally might have only been in DC. during that time period I think the. amount of pressure that they're putting. on people to let them know that if.

there's ever anything like this again. yeah this is what's going to happen. right everyone's going to jail yeah. people that shouldn't go to jail are. going to jail if the cops let you in the. door and they give you a tour you're. going to jail like we're going to call. it a violent Insurrection and everyone's. going to jail and we're going to let you. in we're going to open up the barricades. and we're going to have federal agents. in the audience encouraging you to go. into the house house and then when we're. under oath we're going to say we can't.

answer whether or not federal agents. were inciting people to go into the. capital like how how how ethically. inappropriate do you think everything. about that is like dude it is so bad so. bad yeah if this was happening from the. right if this was Trump doing this. people would be losing their [ __ ] be. losing their [ __ ] you should be losing. your [ __ ] if it happens in any political. party this is wild it's wild I think I I.

I I don't know and I'm not by any. stretch of the imagination going to fix. it but I think you know the Bill of. Rights is so important and for people to. understand what it means and clearly. differentiate between okay this is. States this is federal uh you know why. are these things so important individual. liberty comes with responsibility like. that's the other piece to this it's like. you and I love freedom like to be fair. it's quite quite literally my favorite. thing like if I can have more it's.

awesome like you can never have too much. I don't think like no I don't think so. so because I'm going to take. accountability I'm going to be. responsible for my actions I'm not going. to uh mess with other people I'm not. going to impede on their ability to. pursue happiness cuz I'm responsible but. I think you know that's me that's you I. think there's a whole other side of the. country they're like hey I don't want. any responsibility for this it's just. it's too much for me yeah I think what. you're saying is so important because I.

think freedom without responsibility is. what everyone's scared of yeah you know. when people talk about uh gun violence. or they talk about crime or any what. what you're talking about is freedom. without responsibility even illegal. immigration it's freedom without. responsibility and accountability and. responsibility and like having things. that you have to do is what we need more. of that that's what we need more of you. want to have more freedom we definitely.

should have more freedom but we should. also have more people that are taking. care of their life they have their [ __ ]. together right so what we should be. doing instead of trying to take away. Freedom try giving people the tools that. they need to be more accountable and to. do better in their life and to get their. [ __ ] [ __ ] together like that should. be the number one emphasis not taking. away your rights cuz some people can't. hand handle it right you know there's. just well and and that equals everything.

right so then it's like we'll say the. the highly motivated people that are. going to that will live their life with. virtue and courage and pursue all of. what I would say is Western philosophic. yeah like. principles I think we can we. collectively can be trusted with that. responsibility but then you have that. other piece that's saying I don't want. to have anything to do with that I'd. rather a safe secure existence without.

any accountability or responsibility I. 100% agree that's why I and this isn't. like it's not meant to be like over. complimentary but I think that's so this. show and other people like you and Joo. and Cam and Jordan whomever else that. out kind of out there in the ecosystem. you guys are are putting really good. information out into the world saying. like I was I was uh. to reference your podcast with Lex that.

you did maybe like a year ago he was. asking you straight up advice like how. do you how do you make yourself better. how do you be a better person you're. answering saying hey this is what worked. for me well you're obviously successful. you should be propagating that out into. the into the country into the world. having men and women everybody else. saying [ __ ] yeah I'm going to take more. accountability I'm going to be more. responsible for my life I'm going to. live radically free because that's. [ __ ] cool that is what people who.

live in cities don't like if you're. living in a city and you're in an. apartment building and you're an. urbanist you're you f yourself in so you. have a scarf and you're going to get. your latte and you know you maybe you're. getting an Uber or you're hopping in the. subway like what you like is. infrastructure yeah you know you like. everything to be set up for you oh we. have dinner at the Italian restaurant at. 7:30 great you go over there you you eat. food that someone else prepared you get. a glass of wine that someone else grew.

the grapes you're not doing [ __ ] other. than consuming and this is what you. enjoy we're going to go to the play. we're going to go to the Opera we're. going to go see a film oppenheimer's out. we're going to go home oh this person is. at the [ __ ] Comedy Club let's go see. that let's go you know let's constantly. consume and those people like people say. no you need to get in shape and you need. to start eating well like oh ho W wo wo. I not interested in this at all I want.

someone to wipe my ass I have a I have a. a seat on the toilet that sprays water. up my ass so I barely have to wipe. anymore it just hoses my ass down I. press buttons I go to sleep I take an. ambient I go to sleep I wake up in the. morning I go to Starbucks yeah it's it's. it's almost a prescription for what I. would say is if you want to live within. the the the safety and in the sanctuary. of an urban environment where you've got. everything mapped out to you so you've.

been indoctrinated under a system of. like bells and whistles that Conformity. means everything in in Academia which is. don't don't don't don't stick out you. know like be on time be Best in Class. make sure that you're you're hitting all. your bells and whistles and you move. directly into that urban area where. you're also working from 9: to 5 or. whomever you know or or whatever it's. like 60 70 hours a week but everything. is laid out it's very lock step.

Conformity all the way through dude I. have zero interest in doing that like. that sounds like a prison to me to be. honest with you that sounds like a a. [ __ ] prison well that's what's. fascinating is that these people that. we're talking about that live in these. Urban environments that uh have jobs. like that and are not interested in. physical health and are going to. restaurants and doing all the things. those people are are the most [ __ ] up. yeah they have the most health problems.

they have the most mental health. problems I'm just guessing I'm just. guessing but I know a lot of people that. live in urban cities that are on ssris. right I know a lot of them I like you. know like there's that 15% of the people. that have 85 or below IQ what percentage. of the people that live in cities that. live like that or on anti-depressants or. some sort of psychoactive medication I I. I I read I read that too I think it's I. think it's about the same I think it's.

almost equal there's another like 10% of. people out there so when you think about. the numbers depending on how much. overlap there is there's 50 million. people between you know below 85 and. then that are what you would say is. clinically depressed indoor on some type. of psychological drug right so that's. like 15% as well yeah yeah yeah I think. it's almost equal yeah I wonder how much. of those are confined to urban areas. it's got to be higher I think it's a. it's almost the math thing it's called. standard deviation though there's like. always going to be a certain number that.

are you know 15% this way 15% that way. you know what's interesting with. depression is that no no one takes into. account how well you're. doing right like don't you feel better. when you're doing well like when you. have a good relationship you got a good. group of friends you got a why don't we. think of that as medicine. I I think about it like I I've had a lot. of time over the last I would say couple. years to try to like turn the bolts on. this to figure out what it is that's. like makes me happy or creates more.

endurance or energy or whatever it might. be and there's this um emonia have you. ever heard of this this principle it's. like this old uh Greek term that they. would use to define happiness and. fulfillment through hard work and. accomplishing your goals and and. objectives so it's essentially being. happy in. establishing very difficult criteria for. yourself and then adhering to it and. it's it's older than the stoics and I.

realized I was like oh that's that's. kind of what makes me tick I love just. grinding myself into moondust like we. were talking earlier I was like I'm. running this whole machine in the red. all the time right it's like I'm 57 160. lbs so it's like I got to work to put. out physical energy to even keep up you. know on a special operations team or or. whatever previous profession that I've. had I've got to push this thing to the.

red to carry weight to carry enough. energy that I can accomplish a task and. then when you're floating just above. maybe an average IQ you also have to run. this thing in the red there's no like. plus or minus 5% dude like I have to get. in and grind myself into moondust every. day and I got to ring the sponge out of. it if I don't well I'm going to be just. average because I'm I'm average yeah. that's a thing. like but you you found ways to use the.

way you think about things and and. figure out a path in life I think the. difference between a guy like you and. these people were talking about is some. people are just looking for a place to. plug. in and I think that's where the despair. comes from I think the despair comes. from not having a real purpose like not. have anything you really built or. anything that you really feel proud of. or anything that you really feel like. like your company like Black Rifle is.

creative as well as like really great. coffee and cool people and it's all. veteran owned it's like something to be. proud of it's like a real thing like you. go there people are smiling it feels. good you've created this amazing. business like that's but that's a very. different feeling than someone who's in. some corporate structure and you know. there's [ __ ] all these weird rules. and laws and and social things you have.

to do in the office in order to get. ahead right and you have to you know you. have to learn how to play golf yeah Jes. even if you don't like even if you don't. want to play you got to play golf you. want to make deals you got to play golf. you got to hit the links on the weekend. and like suck up to some other guy that. you know pleaded front Docker wearing. like back slapping guy that you're like. oh man like maybe he's a [ __ ] yeah. maybe he's a complete dick yeah maybe. he's going to be a dick and also he's a. dick and he's good at golf and you suck. at golf oh my God you're never going to.

win any of these [ __ ] conversations. when it comes to business or or you. really just want to do something else. like that I've got to go play golf every. week make folk songs yeah I want to play. atic guitar or be a or I I I used to. like uh have that conversation with guys. at the agency because they there are. people that just they weren't into the. mission they to to your point it's like. my purpose my mission and kind of the. way that I've laid things out was I've.

always had to work for something bigger. than just myself like I can't just be. really selfish it doesn't even compute. my DNA I have to look at something from. a bigger purpose look at the mission the. goals and objectives be somewhat. altruistic and then just [ __ ] dive in. then you can be like you can be selfless. in some of what you're doing and you can. kind of behave as a hog in the wheel. which I think is actually a a really.

important piece to development is how. many people have ever worked is just a. number just a number in a machine like. right you don't feel valuable no no you. don't and creating value with a team. with a bigger purpose I think that's. what guys in the military and guys from. my. background as they transition out they. go through what I would say is a is an. existential crisis because their life. has meaning their Essence is clearly.

defined they they they're striving to. accomplish a big goal and objective that. takes complete intellectual and physical. capitulation and when they get out. they're like now we have all this. Freedom. 360° well you have to lay your own life. out you have to redefine your purpose. and then drive in as deep as you can I. think they go through. a significant existential crisis well. that happens to guys that get out of.

prison too yeah guys that get out of. prison a lot of them want to get. arrested go back cuz they're more. comfortable in jail right they don't. like the freedom they don't like this. new life all their friends are still. locked up their social connections are. locked up out in the street they're a. pariah they're an. excon you know and it some of those. things are like transitioning into a you. know the professional environment. especially from from the team room. like I was in a team room my entire life. and I mean you know me uh you know.

better than most which is I'm not. politically correct I couldn't build an. ecosystem nor could I have I could have. ever survived in the corporate. environment because my mind doesn't work. like that like I I have the diplomacy of. a sledgehammer sometimes and it's not. but at least there's a place for a mind. like yours yeah the thing is when you're. a kid they tell you there's not right. when I was a kid man I was [ __ ]. absolutely convinced I was a loser. really yeah yeah F [ __ ] up in school big.

[ __ ] up in school you know always uh. getting kicked out of classes for making. fun of things never had any work ethic. at all the only time I worked is when I. like if I needed money to buy a car or. something like that I'd get a job and. I'd do that but I was in Hell thinking. like imagine having to do this for life. like all the I had a bunch of my dad was. an architect so I had a bunch of. construction jobs growing up and those. [ __ ] taught me that I don't want to. do that right like I had a whole summer. I worked with my friend Jimmy Lawless.

and we I carried cement bags and. pressure treated lumber all summer was. like I only worked there for like a. couple months I'm saying all summer I. don't even might not have been a couple. months might have been a couple weeks I. was 19 and I remember really clearly. going I am never going to be able to do. this cuz I would leave at the end of the. day I was toast I was done man I try I'd. go to the gym to work out I had nothing. I was just so tired there was not and I. realized like okay I can't do this I. don't I admire people who can do it you.

just show up for work every day I feel. like I'm in hell I got to find a thing. but I got lucky that there's things and. you got lucky that there's things but in. school they don't tell you that there's. things they don't say Hey Joe I see how. you can't pay attention in class you're. always cracking jokes like maybe you. should be a comedian like no never. they're like you're going to fail yeah. you're a [ __ ] loser you're a loser. and until I started being good at stuff. I didn't realize that I I could that I. maybe I wasn't a loser like still when I.

started doing martial arts that was the. first time I was like oh I could [ __ ]. apply myself to things and I could. actually be really good at stuff it's. just a matter of I didn't find a thing. that was interesting to me until this. yeah it's very similar like you and I. had very very similar backgrounds like. my dad was he was a logger so he was up. at 3 4:00 in the morning every day like. I saw this dude just work his entire. life and he was so committed and so. disciplined like I never saw my dad.

inebriated I always saw him with a. lunchbox he he worked in the woods my. entire life but like I wasn't good at. [ __ ] like it which is also good like you. know I like to you know [ __ ] around with. my buddies and I like to do interesting. things I guess for that like try to jump. motorcycles or whatever kind of random. [ __ ] you'd come up with but you know as. as I got into the military I was like oh. I'm good at this like I'm really good at.

this for some reason you know I can run. fast I can shoot well um you know I I. can put together semicoherent sentences. so [ __ ] I can be good at this and this. is something I can and you know steal. the phrase accelerate your life or. whatever I can accelerate my life and it. was fun dude I could jump out of planes. and learn different languages and spend. most of my life out of the. country uh but it was the same kind of.

uh uh Evolution it's like I found this. thing that I was really good at I loved. it and I could just go chips in on it. and it built layers of confidence and. allowed me to to just build the. confidence to say well you know what if. I was good at this I could probably. apply this to other things in life yeah. and it just compounds like way I built. Black Rifle and why I did was like my. mission statement when I transitioned. out was to transition out a government.

service and live a happy and fulfilling. life that was. it it didn't have anything to do with. you know money or goals or any of those. things it was how do I define happiness. how do I Define fulfillment and then as. we grew the company after about the. first year it became really evident that. I could not only do something cuz I had. this beautiful family that I loved like. my kids and my wife and they're giving. me so much power and endurance what if I.

built this really cool company where you. could leave the family that you love and. go to work in a company that you love. and then it would become a flywheel it. would just get faster and faster and. faster in your life and create more. happiness more fulfillment what if I. could scale that and give that to other. people and so far I mean it's [ __ ]. worked like I feel like I I feel so. happy and you know I feel so. um like I'm so grateful like I'm just so.

grateful for the things that I've I've. been able to do over the last 10 years. and you know I I I tell this to people. all the time go to my refrigerator pull. milk out for my kids there's not a. morning or a day that doesn't go by. where I don't thank my customers for. they G they've given me this opportunity. they've given me this opportunity to. make crazy art and amazing coffee and. build this culture of people that I love. [ __ ] that that is cool man and it's cool.

it's it's them they've did it they they. did it for me I I just kind of like have. facilitated it but it was the perfect. thing for you to plug into yeah and to. apply your passion into a new Direction. what's interesting too about Black Rifle. and by the way thank you for the cup. yeah man Evan brought me a mug this is. how thoughtful he is it's white on the. inside so I can see how dark the coffee. is that's a real coffee nerd folks yeah. it's built perfectly from and I won't. like everybody will gloss over and start.

like tuning out but it's 1 to 16 ratio. Brew method from 30 gram of coffee in. and 480 grams yielded but then you can. see it uh how dark is it how light is it. you can kind of um I built it for the. perfect mug based on how many fingers. can you get in uh through the handle. what's the weight of it I also build. things that if you have to hit somebody. in the [ __ ] face with. it they're not. it's got some it's got some heft yeah. yeah these little [ __ ] will break.

easy yeah yeah yeah this this got a lot. more heft to it it's got an heavy heavy. bottom in it so there's a little bit of. thought to you [ __ ] someone up with that. especially if you get your hand around. it this way that's how I would do it. right I wouldn't hold on the handle I'm. not trust in this handle I get my hand I. put my fingers through the handle and I. I'm looking at this end right here being. the most durable spot to hit somebody. with this is what I'm looking at yeah. you don't hit him with up there you get. him with this this is what I'm looking. looking at a nice angle see yeah I like. what you're saying yeah this is a good.

three-finger handle too it's just. perfect my fat fingers gets right in. there I got a pinky in the bottom to. brace I like it see yeah yeah there's a. little bit of thought that went into it. yeah the the coffee thought is nuts man. when when I went to your place and I saw. your lab I was like this is so. Preposterous it is you are such a nerd. the way you measure the exact amount of. coffee and you're experimenting with. different temperatures by like two and. three. it's so crazy I but you can tell when.

you make coffee in coffee camp when in. hunting camp rather like was the most. spoiled time ever like we get like the. most insane coffee and it was hilarious. like we ran out of coffee filters and uh. someone was it Cody I think Cody said oh. we can use a paper towel you go you just. turned them we're not using a [ __ ]. paper towel yeah I got angry I got angry. he did get angry because he was serious. I was like you can't are you serious no. we're not doing that like I'll go to the. store I I'll get i'll get filters these.

guys are [ __ ] Cowboys they would. throw some [ __ ] coffee beans and. throw a rock into a [ __ ] thing pour. hot water on they're just like yeah this. is whatever these guys are animals yeah. they're they're amazing guys they're. amazing they're amazing hardworking. dudes I love those guys I look forward. to going there every year dude we have. so much fun together too that's such a. fun week I I had so much fun this year. like for for you know the people I guess. it's like I got to watch you do like 30. stocks yeah it's a lot of there's a lot.

of stalking and blown stalks and Miss. shots and missed opportunities and you. get winded and yeah elk hunting is. amazing dude it's it's amazing that. bull that you killed um parap fors like. that thing was so cool to watch because. I watch the entire thing and I I'll I'll. recite it from my position because I. couldn't really see you very well. because you'd moved off and I'm looking.

at him from. across um I was on one spur you were on. the other and there's a little Valley in. between us but we were probably I don't. know a thousand yards away and I'm. watching you through my binos trying to. figure out what you're doing because I. could see the bow and then he got up and. I I couldn't tell if you were winded or. not but then all I heard like I saw him. tear out up the hill and then tumble. down he was dead in 5 seconds really. quick 3 and a half 5 Seconds at the most.

and I heard it from across the canyon. you yelled so. loud we were and we started laughing. because you're like. yeah and it echoed all the way down. through the canyon I was like well bow. down let's go yeah I gave a Ric Flair. yeah I gave a giant woo yeah they are. the [ __ ] most interesting animal to. me I mean I've deer Hunted I've bear. hunted I've hunted axes deer I've hunted. a lot of different animals but elk to me.

are like the most majestic they're the. coolest looking yeah they're they're. [ __ ] smart as [ __ ] when they smell. you their senses are so good they're. they're always tuned in to what the [ __ ]. is going on and the only time you catch. them slipping is when they're hungry. they're tired or they want to [ __ ] and. we caught him when he was tired decided. to take a nap and I was like okay buddy. you just [ __ ] up and I creeped in with. my socks on I creeped in for half an.

hour I was moving so slow cuz his head. was kind of turned sideways right and I. could never tell if he was looking at me. so I had to make no movement I was just. inching towards that [ __ ] and. every time you turn away I get a couple. of slow steps and I'd have to stop and. then I'd have to wonder I wonder if he. remembers what he saw when he turned. before and if that [ __ ] tree is. closer wonder if he's is going to perk. up it's so exciting your [ __ ] heart's.

pounding and I'm Brea I'm doing all. these breathing exercises to slow my. heart rate. down so much fun man so much fun and. then I'm always whenever it gets dark. around that's B I'm always wondering. about cats yeah cuz there's so many cats. there I'm always wondering what if. there's an old one who can't really. catch deer anymore he's like that thing. looks good that thing looks slow as [ __ ]. yeah it's that origin C flage makes you. look maybe like caramel or something. smells C coffee and.

sugar jacked up on rtds and. like yeah like I worry about cats you do. yeah but once I saw one in Utah uh I was. with uh my friend Colton and we were. maybe 30 yards away he stops the truck. and he goes look at that cat he goes. look at that [ __ ] lion under the tree. and I look and I see his eyes glowing. and I'm like oh my God he's h huge and. then I get the binos out so I'm inside. the truck and I'm looking in his [ __ ].

face like like right it was. terrifying he was so big he had these. massive forearms dude just jacked. forearms and this big old pumpkin head I. mean it was a big male cat and I was. like I've I'd never seen one that big. I've seen little ones before I saw like. a one that looked like it was about like. 60 lbs and the other one was pretty much. the same size those the only two cats. I've ever seen before and I saw them. like very briefly this [ __ ] was. just sitting there under a tree at dusk.

with the big [ __ ] head man and I it. just the feeling of helplessness was. overwhelming that like if that thing. decided to jump me it's over you're done. there's not a thing you're going to be. able to do it's so much stronger it's a. gigantic house cat yeah do you guys have. cats not anymore no but I've had I've. had cats many years and cats kill so. much [ __ ] do kill so much [ __ ] I it's. always a debate like my wife and I have. gone back and forth on like do we get a.

cat do we not get a cat and they there's. some they carry some parasite I guess. toxoplasmosis yeah yeah yeah yeah mostly. the wild cats get it is that what it is. it's from like wild it's from rats oh. this is It's a it is a wild parasite and. there's a guy named Robert sski out of. uh is he out of. Stanford I think he's out of Stanford uh. psychologist brilliant guy um he's done. a lot of work on toxoplasmosis and.

toxoplasmosis is the reason why they. tell people not to touch women's uh. women that are pregnant not to touch. their cat's litter box because it can. really [ __ ] the kid up huh and it could. really [ __ ] you up too right but what it. does with people is wild what it does. with people is it makes them more. Reckless and a disproportionate number. of motorcycle victims have tested. positive for. toxoplasmosis um some countries at one. point time France was as high as 50% of. the population was infected by it what.

yeah it is a wild parasite that changes. the way you think and one of the things. it does is it's parasites are so. fascinating because they literally can. hijack another body and get it to do. different things so they get inside a. rat the rat gets infected with. toxoplasmosis and it rewires the rat's. sexual reward system the rat now becomes. sexually aroused by the smell of cats. urine it also completely removes any. fear that the rat would have of cats so.

the the rat goes towards the cat the cat. kills the rat eats the rat the only way. the parasite can reproduce is inside the. cat's gut so the cat which is seemingly. unaffected by this parasite is just. making it inside of its body and then. when it gets out it affects all the. creatures around it it probably does. affect cats too but cats are so crazy. anyway how would you know just it makes. them slightly crazier but with people it. makes them Wilder makes them more. Reckless is that why you don't have cats.

no I probably have it I probably have. toxo i' I've had feral cats I had a. feral cat for a while he was nuts he was. so nuts that I when I had to fix him he. was like uh I guess he like when I got. him a friend of mine um had uh these. cats under her apartment and her and her. boyfriend captured these cats these. little kittens and they she goes you. want you want a kitten and I had a cat. already I like oh get my cat a friend. and so I get this [ __ ] cat and the.

the moment I see it it hiss it's a tiny. little thing little tiny thing it's. hissing at you like it's a demon and I. pick it up and it instantly starts. purring purring loud like you've like a. foster kid who's finally been hugged you. know what I mean just purring. like and I was like oh this poor little. dude so to get him accustomed to me I. had to stay in one of the bedrooms in. this house that I was renting just with. him so I brought some books in there I.

brought his litter box and I brought cat. food and I just hung out with this. [ __ ] cat for like days in this room. and I had to do it that way because. every time I would leave when I'd come. back in he would literally climb the. walls just hissing and jumping and. clawing at the drapes it was wild and. then I would Corner him and I'd touch. him and he would start purring again and. then I'd pick him up and I start petting. him and then I'd just sit there like. reading a book and I did it for days to. get this cat comfortable with me and it. worked yeah I was the only one he was.

comfortable with though anybody else. came over the Hat you could not pick him. up you Tred to pick him up he would [ __ ]. you up like he'd bite you he'd Claw at. you but with me he was cool it was weird. but he was only cool like I had to like. slowly approach him his name was Jack. Dempsey because Jack Dempsey was a hobo. so I thought it was a good name for him. yeah so I i' I'd pet him and then he'd. immediately start purring then I could. pick him up and he's like you're the. only one I'm like it's okay as long as. it's just me you and me buddy we're good. so I had to get him fixed and um I had.

he must have known that my intentions. were different you know than than before. and so he wouldn't let me pick him up. and I had to get him into a laundry. hamper that was the only way I was going. to be able to carry him so I cornered. him in the bathroom and he's hissing. he's jumping from the tub to the sink. and I'm like dude calm the [ __ ] down. it's just me calm down so then I get a. blanket and I throw the blanket over him. and I wrestle. and i stuff him into this [ __ ] vamper. and I bring him to this guy Dr Craig who.

was an amazing guy who wanted dying. later in a car accident was one of the. saddest [ __ ] things he was the. coolest vet ever he was the coolest and. I brought him in and I go hey man I. don't even know if you could do this but. he's spraying in my house now he needs. to get fixed but he's he's wild and he's. like how Wild I go look how I have him I. got him in the hamper you see the. [ __ ] hamper like bouncing around so. they had to hold this cat down somehow. or another and anesthetize him put him. out and then they had to fix him and.

then uh brought him back and he was cool. he was fine yeah he was cool with me he. was always cool with me like we got over. whatever that was that I [ __ ]. kidnapped him we got over it and he. would let me pick him up again but only. me like no my friends no one even people. that were over the house all the time no. one could pet him that's actually kind. of cool yeah like yeah I probably got. toxo from that cat if I had a guess. that's one of the why we we haven't had. them like cuz I'm like they they are. they are ruthless little murderers yeah.

cats kill billions of birds every year. bi in America yeah billions. they billions that is so nuts what is. the actual number Jamie because it's so. crazy you see the number of small. mammals and birds that house cats look. at just house cats kill I look at my. dogs and I'm like dude if I leave for. like 45 minutes I don't know if you guys. are going to make. it they're just like fluffy you know.

they they live on the couch basically. there's like no wolf left in them like. so here's the number 20 20 what. 20.7 billion small mammals the Journal. of nature Communications cats kill. between 1.4 billion and 3.7 billion. birds and between 6.9 billion and 20.7. billion small mammals such as metal vs. and Chipmunks so that's 20 billion.

mammals and somewhere between 1.4. billion and 3.7 billion Birds that's. crazy they're murder that's crazy. they're [ __ ] murderers like that's. like mad respect there because like. these things are living in our house oh. my God uh this one says between 1.3 and. 4 billion birds and between 6.3 and 22.3. billion mammals so it's probably going. up every year because there's more cats. every year cuz they keep [ __ ] and the. wild ones are the you know wild cats.

they're [ __ ] unbelievable. murderers that's [ __ ] wild look at. this researchers get that a single cat. May kill between 100 and 200 mammals. annually just murderers I like I could. have a barn cat like that'd be cool well. they will definitely keep rats away yeah. that that is I mean they have a function. on farms they they're great 100% they're. great they're great at doing that if you. want to have a wild cat that's the place. to have them they [ __ ] keep. everything away there's this uh hunting.

lease that my friend Tyler from archery. country has and we went there and. there's this cool [ __ ] wild cat that. hangs out there but he's like. domesticated like he comes up rubs up. against you and you're like what's up. little buddy and that cat just kills. everything all he does is I mean he's I. don't think anybody feeds him I think he. just wanders around that ranch killing. everything he needs to eat that's that's. a great life it's a great life for him. he's so happy like that cat cuz he he. loves people like he's not an he's not a. wild cat in a sense that he's not.

domesticated because he does come right. up to you and rubs up against you and. you Pat him and he rubs over you could. rub his belly he's not worried about. people at all everybody treats him. really nice so he's like a sweet sweet. cat right but no one's feeding him he's. just a little murderer just running. around eating rats and mice and [ __ ]. birds and I've got a whole new respect. for him like reading that I I I no I had. no context to the billions of animals. they or the small rodents and [ __ ].

they're murdering every year that's. amazing it is amazing but it's also kind. of crazy that they also seem content to. just chill in an apartment MH like cats. don't seem to have a problem being in an. apartment I I went out to um uh I went. out to Ryan holiday's bookstore. yesterday oh okay and I just cruised. around in there cuz it's not it's like. 20 minutes outside of town and he's got. two cats cruising around in there just. like hanging out the book yeah hanging. out in the bookstore and uh like laying. on boxes and running around I was like a. that's [ __ ] cool man that's cool yeah.

yeah look I I love cats it's just like. my kids are allergic to them it's a real. problem yeah yeah and uh my wife's. allergic to them too but I prefer dogs. but my dog is uh my dog is an amazing. dog but he's dumb as [ __ ] too and so I. just got him back from the hospital I'm. going to send this to you Jamie so you. can see these pictures I just got him. back um so we came home the other night. and Marshall had uh eaten chicken food.

that was outside on gravel but he didn't. bother to differentiate between the. gravel and the chicken food so he ate. about 2 lounds of gravel and I'm not. exaggerating pounds of gravel it was. pounds of gravel there was so much. gravel that he ate that he threw up that. that's a pile of gravel that he threw up. that's one of seven piles of gravel show. the other picture that I just sent you. that's my foot for. reference I just sent you another.

one that one so that we found that oh. gosh that's all gravel that he threw. up so that's uh once he threw up like. six six times in the house and then the. seventh time it looks like he threw up. several different times there so I took. him to the uh emergency vet and uh they. do an x-ray and he still has gravel in. his stomach and gravel in his uh colon. and they're not as concerned about the. gravel in his colon but they were. concerned about the gravel in his. stomach so I had to take him to a.

hospital where he stayed overnight for. two days and they gave him liquid. therapy they put an IV to him and they. monitored him and they made sure that he. was okay and he eventually [ __ ] out all. the gravel and they didn't have to do. surgery but there was a concern that. there could be an obstruction but they. finally let him out today and he's fine. but like that's the kind of [ __ ] you. have to deal with if you have pets. that's he ate gravel he ate two l pounds. of gravel my Golden's name is potato and. I rebranded him because his first name. was. Maximus and we were driving down the.

road one day I was like this this dog. needs a naming Rebrand because his. [ __ ] brain is like a potato and then. that was it his name ball does he have. his balls no he was a we we adopted him. he was like two years old when we got. him I've got a golden doodle and a. golden uh so they're just one's beans. one's potato the other one's Dr be. beans I've met Dr beans yeah Dr beans is. the best he's like he's a cool dog yeah.

he's the chillest of the chill I I I'm. not like a cat hater but I absolutely. prefer dogs there's there's a thing I. have a relationship with my dog he's. like my friend yeah like I come home I. could talk to him he listens to me he. kind of knows what I'm saying you know. like there's little things that we do. like uh you want to get the ball he just. pops up like let's [ __ ] go these. these videos of me with him with the. ball I've never been more excited in my. life about anything maybe other than El. hunting right this dog is [ __ ]. bouncing around he's going and every day.

I'm like is he going to be bored we. could do this ball yeah every day. there's not a [ __ ] day where he's. bored he's like the ball's out holy [ __ ]. we're gonna do the ball it's like he's. so simple but if if you had a guy come. in and you're like you want to get the. elk you want to get the elk Joe you'd. probably be the same way You' be like. [ __ ] yeah no the thing is with elk. hunting the only way it's real exciting. is if it's hard yeah like that's what. was so exciting about that hunt that you. watch from a distance was like I had to. like creep in on this [ __ ] dude and.

hope the wind didn't shift I had to. creep in on this dude and hope that he. didn't catch me moving I had to hope. that there was a window where I could. draw where he wasn't going to be because. once he gets up what if he's get getting. up facing me and I can't draw and I'm. trying to figure out when do I draw. there's a lot going on and I'm like I. know I ranged him at 50 but I took two. steps what is this right here is he at. is he at 48 is he at 4 47 like where do. I aim there's so much going on that. that's what when it's successful that's.

what's so exciting that it's hard to do. yeah the ball's [ __ ] he knows that. Ball's coming every day but he's so. excited it's like instant gratification. he's like the ball's coming did woohoo. did you shoot that bow yesterday yes so. what's the difference it's smoother it's. better yeah they they made a few. significant changes there's a new hoit. bow that just came out what are they. calling it see if you can find it the. keep hammering Edition I think it's the. vxm 33 did you go up are you still at 80. or did you go up I have two bows I have.

an 80 and a 90 okay yeah so one's at a. 81 or 82 and the other one's at 90 Can. You Feel the difference yeah you feel. when you pull them back yeah what about. an. accuracy well they're both super super. accurate the thing is you just can't. shoot as many arrows in a day with a 90. lb bow I've figured that out a long time. ago which is why I got at 80 I have a 60. at the studio which is like a kids bow. it's amazing you draw it back just like. so easy and I just do that use that one.

for practicing my form and and because. it's just nice to have a bow at the. studio and then there's the 80 that I. shot Elon musk's uh cyber truck with. they just happened to be laying around. here too that thing just bounced right. off of it that was that was actually one. of the [ __ ] coolest videos pretty. cool you let me shoot his truck with a. bow he's like oh yeah you want to go. shoot it let's shoot it yeah okay it's. so it's got a little scratch on now. forever um the tiniest scratch too right. and it's a [ __ ] heavy ass Arrow from. an 80 lb bow and didn't do [ __ ] to that.

door just blew it up B up the arrow but. the new hoists they one of the things. about bows for people who don't know um. unlike Firearms which are essentially. like if you have a like a Sig. p365 that's what that gun is like if you. got that gun 5 years ago like they made. a comp version of the 365 so they put. put compensation in the barrel just. makes it a little better a little easier. to shoot that's that's the but they they.

make essentially the same kind of gun. with small improvements for years and. years like if you buy a 5-year-old gun. it's still a top-of-the-line gun right. Bose somehow or another they through. engineering and these [ __ ] wizards. they make them better incrementally. every year they really do like I noticed. the difference between last year's bow. and the year for like the moment I shot. I was like wow this is smoother and one. day um just for the [ __ ] of it I picked.

up the previous year's bow and I was. noticing a difference I was like oh this. doesn't feel as good the the draw. Cycle's not as good the release doesn't. feel as smooth but it was better than. the year before right and so last year's. bow I was like this is how are they. going to top this this bow is amazing. it's so accurate it's so smooth boom. they did it they topped it they keep. making them better they're more. efficient they pull back smoother. they they're more dead in the hand this. bow feels like nothing when it goes off. nothing it goes off there's like zero.

vibration it's incredible whatever. they're doing in terms of like there's a. particular design of their. Riser that the the vibration even if it. goes through the bow on the shot almost. none of it is going through your hand. right it's incredibly like dead in the. hand which you know leads you to be more. accurate there's everything is about. accuracy and efficiency and and smooth. smoothness and comfort have you. transitioned over to the uh that stand. clicker yet have you tried that thing I. do like that but I keep going back to.

the knock to it because the thing about. the stand clicker is it this is nerd. talk folks this is a it's uh it makes. your draw length 1/4 inch longer because. it's 1/4 inch longer than the head of. the KN to it which I'm so accustomed to. so all my anchor points are slightly. different so with the stand the string. is just a quarter inch further forward. and there's something about that that I. maybe I have to get used to maybe if I. pull harder on the wall I maintain the.

same stability or maybe if I extend my. arm out a little bit more I maintain the. same stability I'd have to transition. and try it because I've been using. Dudley's archery uh releases for so long. like between the two smooth the hinge. which I really like and then his other. one the knock to it which is the thumb. button that I really like there I'm just. so used to those I'm I'm I keep going. back like I've tried you know stand. clicker the stand non clicker I think. it's the T I've had the hinge I've had a.

bunch of these and I keep coming back. I'm I'm the most accurate hands down. with a knock to it I think it's just. because I've got so many reps It Feels. So natural and now that I've got that. thing dialed to like super hot hot sauce. yeah hot sauce it's you breathe on it. wrong and it goes off you got to be. careful with those you got to always. check them because I've had it when. those are really really hot with Carter. releases well they'll go off just based. on the amount of tension that's on the. string because I'm pulling so much.

weight right you know so I always. wherever I like it I crank it a little. bit stiffer now just a little stiffer. just a little bit just a little just a. little bit I wanted so I could put my. thumb on it and know that the slightest. amount of back pressure that. motherfucker's going off just the. slightest amount so when I get that uh. then I go to my shot process I don't. have any concerns about it going off. it's just everything's there let's. [ __ ] go and it's off and I feel like.

that to me is the most accurate and. there's a lot of different schools a lot. of people like it very heavy and what. they do is they hook the button in here. in the crook of their thumb and then. they pinch their finger around it and. they can get a good grip and then. they're just all pulling with their back. muscles and that makes it go off and you. could do that too but that's I think. that's because they want an absolute. surprise shot MH because they're. concerned they're going to punch the. trigger in that moment but I think the.

real thing is about controlling that. moment the real thing is about staying. cool in that moment and that's the. hardest part of it and I think the less. anxiety you have about your release the. better I know that [ __ ] is going. off if I wanted to but I also know how. to do the shop process correctly so. that's my little what have I I've. learned is I Like It Hot yeah I like. that [ __ ] hot yeah. that that's where I'm at cuz I had M set. way too tight and I would. be you know essentially it' be pulling.

and pressing on the release slow like. looking at it kind of like a firearm. trigger saying like slow pressure build. the pressure straight back like no. deviation and I'd go through this entire. uh shot process from the rifle that I. was incorporating into the bow but I'm. too I'm taking too much time on the the. back end really building into my thumb. release versus when you're ready and.

everything's dialed you know you've you. you've got your ring overlap your. level's good everything set it's time to. go it's time to go you can't be building. to the shot yeah hot sauce is like that. is the way to go yeah the way to go is. hot sauce with a good shot process but. you have to have a controlled shot. process like in my mind I have like a. whole process that Joel Turner process I. put myself through so it's just all it's. really just all about not hammering the. trigger over anxiety it's really all.

just about staying calm and letting it. happen and knowing exactly what you're. doing do you concentrate on breathing. through your nose and trying to get more. oxygen as you're going through your. thought process or do you just open your. mouth I I concentrate on breathing. through my nose when I'm calming myself. down as I'm moving towards the sh like. when in that particular moment like my. heart was pounding as I was closing the. Gap cuz I was like I think I'm going to. get this [ __ ] and it was it's. exciting like stalking on a beded elk is. very exciting you know because that's.

you got to get I'm I was trying I had to. get within 50 yards because there was a. log in front of them there was just like. this this down tree and the only Gap was. I had to go up up above him and 50 yards. and when I'm doing this as I'm like. creeping in there there's so much. anticipation that your your heart's just. [ __ ] pounding and that's what I'm. doing the breathing exercises but once I. get there I'm telling myself that I'm. calm once I'm there I'm like I'm not. allowing myself to get ramped up again.

once I'm in position so once I'm in. position is just task oriented it's just. that I'm just I'm just completely locked. in on his vitals and my shot process. that's all I'm thinking about and what I. like about hot sauce is when I get to. that spot and I'm at full draw there's. no other things to think about I got. that pin on his vitals my bubbles. leveled Everything feels good. poow whack you know and then then you. can have fun then then you then you can.

go back to just being a normal human but. in that moment you got to I for me I. have to be task oriented if I'm thinking. about it I'm not thinking I hope I don't. miss I'm not none of that [ __ ] I'm not. letting any of that in all I'm thinking. is Task I'm I have a task very clear. task and this is a this is a mo there's. going to be weird decisions that I'm. going to have to make cuz who knows what. he's going to do when he gets up is he. going to go left is he going to go right. what if that [ __ ] steps behind the. tree now I'm [ __ ] again I have no shot.

if he if he just stepped and went left. which they do all the time now I'm. behind that log again and I'm [ __ ] do. you do you have any anxiety or um that. same type of build where your your heart. starts to increase is you're stepping on. stage at any stage no you have none of. that left no I had that in the beginning. yeah yeah in the beginning there's a. full Panic like ah you have zero now no. now it's just exciting now it's like now.

I I have a whole thing I do where I get. myself ramped up I jump around I stretch. before I go. SM occasionally I have a little cocktail. but the whole idea is just get loose get. loose which is the the best thing about. comedy is you're doing with a bunch of. other people that are doing comedy it's. almost like you're all going on stocks. together so we're all hanging out in the. green room talking [ __ ] we're and we're. all going on the same show so we're. having fun and it's like everybody's. Lively right so you think you just don't. want to go on stage cold you would never. want to go on stage you would never want.

to wake up like alarm. clock get up ladies and gentlemen Evan. hey for he'd be like it would be. terrible you would it would take a while. for you to warm up it would take a while. for you to get into the groove you know. so you got to be you got to be at. entertainment groove as you step on. stage so so there's like anticipation. but there's nothing like the anxiety of. elk hunting nothing's even close it it.

it has that strange effect because I. don't get hardly any anxiety ever for. anything really like unless I'm in a car. wreck or something right where it's I'm. not trying to do that but but elk. hunting for some reason you you get in. front of this animal get ramped and you. get ramped up and you're and I'm always. talking to myself like what the [ __ ]. like it's not like the swords on this. thing's head are going to come after you. like why are you doing this right like.

why is your body doing what it's doing. right now so I have to have this whole. process of like calm myself down breathe. through my nose you know and then once I. get into the shot it's it's fine but. building into that shot for some reason. you start going I would I I need to to. wear a heart monitor and just watch to. see how high that thing gets as you're. moving in on a stock on the animal. because as it as you're building into. that moment there's that time before you. can settle into that that position.

where you're you're questioning like why. am I so so ramped up right now I don't. exactly know why so then you have to. dial everything back pull everything. back into perspective focus on what. you're doing and then once you have a. task and the task is there then it seems. to just settle down and get right back. into the moment yeah once you have the. task once it's in front of it's it's. moving into position but sometimes I can. stop it when I was in Utah we uh we were.

on this one Ridge and on this other. Ridge was this big bull that was running. these cows he was the king of the. mountain You Could See by his body this. is an old Bull and he's running these. cows but he's way over he's a like you. you got to go down and all the way up. he's way too far for us to and the we're. out in the open there's no way you're. going to plant a stalk on this bull in. the position that he's at especially. with the the way The Thermals are all. going up so we start moving down this.

this Canyon and as we're moving down. this Canyon the bull just randomly. decides to run his cows down into the. bottom and they're realizing oh [ __ ]. this can happen and so as that's. happening I stopped myself from getting. ramped up completely stopped it I just. recognized it was possibly coming cuzz. he's he's I see him making his way down. this Ridge and he's going right to where.

we're going and we know that there's a. pond down there so if the pond is where. he's going he's going to go to get a. drink and he's going to come right down. through this bottom and that's where. he's going to be at and I stayed calm. the entire time I never let myself ramp. up I never got ramped up I mean I was. probably above normal heart rate but I. was pretty [ __ ] calm and then he came. right out to 62 yards it was perfect he. was right out there it was perfect. everything went Drew back whacked him. watched him go 30 yards and pile up and.

it was watching the whole thing play and. at the end of it then I was like that. was pretty calm I I stayed pretty calm. in that one like for whatever reason I. never got R I stopped it as it was. happening yeah I would imagine the more. reps you get in the yeah but the next. one was like a month later and I was. super ramped up huh I think it was the. stock part of it the creeping in is like. more sneaky than anything this was like. an ambush right right you know there's.

something about like creeping in on them. yeah there's the momentum right you're. letting the the drama build to the story. you're like okay we know what's going to. happen yeah do you think did have you. talked about this with Cam is Cam does. he still get ramped up at all he's. pretty calm his resting his resting. heart rate has to be like three yeah. yeah I think that certainly helps I. think the amount of cardio that you do. has an effect on how you can maintain. your heart rate it it just must it has.

to and if someone has like a low resting. heart rate I would just imagine they'd. have more control on bringing their. heart down it just makes sense totally. makes sense you know and he's just he's. done it so much man yeah that he's like. he just he's a killer he knows how to. stay calm under pressure and those like. one yard kills that. that was. crazy one yard like a yard and a half or. whatever he was from that thing was as.

far as you are to me man that's nuts. nuts like that guy I went out and did. his podcast a couple months ago we had. so much fun like he's such a fantastic. human like very infrequently do you just. bump into people you're like that guy's. salt of the earth he's exactly like he's. he's he's reached and then he's gone way. above expectation as far as the type of. person he is like he's awesome yeah he's. an amazing person so this dude named.

schaer he made a rap song about Cam and. we played it on the podcast the other. day it's number eight in the hip-hop. charts now seriously in the All Around. hip-hop charts and it was number no I. think it's number six now and it was. number like 90 in all. songs it's a rap song about a bow hunter. and it's number six in the hip-hop. charts yeah that cuz that makes sense.

yeah yeah just cuz we talked about it. it's. Bonkers it's a good song though the. guy's good kid [ __ ] talented I'll. have to check it out yeah but it's just. nuts I have to piss so bad let's piss. we'll come back all right but yeah it's. all random [ __ ] how's the uh um. carnivore guy oh he was great yeah he. was great he's still alive crazy guy's. eating only meat seven years [ __ ]. wild he's wild he's thriving is that are. you still doing only meat yeah I cheat.

every now and then Saturday night I. cheated I had sushi but uh Sushi was. great but I felt like [ __ ] afterwards I. felt like I ate a brick rice I never. feel like that if I just yeah it's just. right I eat a lot though I over at I. over ordered and they were really nice. and I felt obligated to keep eating. Thanksgiving you don't do potatoes. nothing like that I did this. Thanksgiving but most other days like. today for breakfast I had uh elk sausage. eggs and bacon that's a normal breakfast. for me H yeah yeah I don't know I I I.

steer clear of I think I just meat. vegetables and limited amount of fruit. cuz I still I still like vegetables like. that's the problem with like yeah I like. vegetables I like bok choy yeah yeah I. like squash we had some uh sweet. potatoes the other night they were great. so but I've I've completely cut out. everything else like I don't I don't. drink hardly at all like very very. limited um everything is gone like no.

breads no rice that's good nothing if. you can do that you'll feel better oh. yeah it sounds nuts but the way he. described it you know and the the. studies that he shows it's like there's. enough evidence to point to that at. least for some people that's a very. beneficial way to eat and live but I I. think really what it is is this thing of. eating only meat most I think I think. for sure meat's very nutritious but I. think a big factor in that is that. you're just cutting out all the crap. right and if you just eat only meat and.

organic vegetables I don't think that's. bad I don't buy it I don't buy that. salads are bad for you I think that's. crazy well and it's good it tastes good. tastes good I think what's bad is the. [ __ ] they spray on them for sure. glyphosate is Bad Seed oils are bad. there's no one's out there saying seed. oils industrialized seed oils are good. for you they're not but olive oils good. for it so you could have olive oil and. balsamic vinegret on a nice salad I. don't think that's bad some heirloom. tomatoes some onions some olives you.

know you my wife did like a whole. gardening thing this year that's nice we. so we had this giant garden with you. know heirloom tomatoes and a bunch of. stuff it was amazing it was awesome dude. when you get an heirloom tomato right. off the vine slice that bad boy up put a. little salt on it little balsamic. vinegar. chop up some avocados on there dud it's. amazing amazing there's so is there. anything that's worse for the. environment than avocados it's like.

avocados and almonds I think yeah. almonds yeah they it's like 10 gallons. of water for one almond to see people. like shoveling them down you're like oh. there's where all California's water. goes right there oh but I was reading. this thing um recently but I think the. discovery was from 2021 about a new. very inexpensive method of. deselenation is that how I say it. salination I know what you mean yeah how.

do you say that how how do you say the. word yeah but anyway removing salt from. water so you could use ocean water um. but that that they were going to be able. to have them available in like a hes. siiz version like you it's like not even. that big like a suitcase size I think it. is really yeah and it can literally. desenate the water that comes from the. ocean and you could turn into drinking. water. that's like a game changer Game Changer. yeah well this is what I've always said. like I used to have a bit about people. wanting to go to Mars and you know like.

like you know America has a we have a. water problem I go we're right next to. the [ __ ] ocean the last thing we have. in California is a water problem we have. a salt problem there's so much [ __ ]. water you could it could eat us up it. could literally Devour the entire state. with one giant wave and and we could be. living on the beach in Arizona like this. [ __ ] thing moves all the time there's. so much water we don't have a water. problem no we have a salt problem yeah.

it's it I think the Israelis have. actually figured that out they have like. full full plants that they're out there. doing I'm going to send this to you. Jamie because I saved uh I think I. screenshotted it with the intention of. looking it up later to make sure it's. legitimate but I'm pretty sure it. is yeah how. much how much stuff do you take. typically when when you're thinking. about how many episodes have you done. now 2,000 something 2000 yeah and then a.

bunch of fight Companions and then a. bunch of MMA shows so it's more than. 2,000 when you think about all the. different pieces of information that. you've you've cataloged in your head. with all these different. interviews I can't imagine like the. information that you've put out too just. in terabytes as far as the volume is. concerned now you've got interviews with. LA from Jordan from all these different. people that's so much information how. much do you think that you've you've.

been able to just store in your head not. so. much desalination system could produce. fresh water that is cheaper than tap. water MIT engineers and collaborators. develop a solar powered device that. avoids salt clogging issues of other. designs this is from September 27 to. 2023 so this um want don't know why I. thought it was earlier than that I found. this very similar titled article from a. year ago and even 2021 too okay that's. probably where I saw it so uh engineers.

at MIT and in China are aiming to turn. sea water into drinking water with a. completely passive device that is. inspired by the ocean and then powered. by the sun that's [ __ ] amazing this. is where science is. incredible the configuration of the. device allows water to circulate in. swirling edies in a manner similar to. much larger hm what's that word Thermo. circulation of the ocean this. circulation combined with the sun's heat. drives water to evaporate leaving the. salt behind the resulting water vapor.

could then be condensed and collected as. pure drinkable water in the meantime the. leftover salt continues to circulate. through and out of the device rather. than accumulating and clogging the. system that's amazing and then also. couldn't you just recapture the salt and. use it seems like it produces about 4 to. 6 lers of drinking water per hour and. lasts several years before requiring. replacement Parts one of the things that. uh Gary Breco is saying that I found. shocking was that some Himalayan salt.

like you always think of like Himalayan. Sals like super healthy he said no some. of it has mercury in it because some of. it the way they mine it like if they get. too close to like certain areas that. contain mercury it can be contaminated. with Mercury and he was recommending. Celtic salt over Himalayan. salt see if we can find any articles on. that so you can actually. get Celtic salt yeah Celtic salt it's I. don't know I guess you just order it you. got to hope they're telling the truth. one thing I found out through this lady.

that was a beekeeper that came on here. she goes a lot of the honey you buy is. [ __ ] like when people are buying. honey they're buying like corn syrup. they think they're buying honey it's. like some honey it's like it's like. drugs they're cutting it with baby. powder yeah one of my um uh one of my. really close friends that's what he does. he's a beekeeper so I've been out there. like helping him with the bees oh it's. saying Celtic Sea salt and Himalayan. salt can expose your children to too. much lead Mercury and other heavy metals. wow so Celtic salt can have it. too so none detected so it looks like.

what's the best salt so Celtic gray sea. salt it seems like it has a lot of Mer. lead blue is lead it's a lot of lead. Mediterranean Sea salt so what has the. least um lead seems like Israeli sea. salt of course it. does I don't know who made this test it. doesn't right did the Israel times put. this out I. just um there is mercury though no pink.

salt does not contain mercury unrefined. sea salt there is so it's controversial. minerals in it but also other minerals. in it well who's saying it doesn't. include Mercury where does it say no you. said no sea salt does not it said pink. salt it didn't say C to sea salt it said. specifically pink salt p no pink salt. does not contain mercury okay but some. Canen but I it's a I mean is that people. that are selling it yes is from Nepal. okay maybe from Nepal it doesn't contain. mercury what they were saying I think.

what Gary Brea was saying was some of. this from China that contains Mercury. well that's not Himalayan then is it. well I guess it technically I don't know. you know I don't know I mean when I'm. buying salt I'm not really looking into. it you know what's really [ __ ] good. what is that uh there's this veteran. owned company is it firecracker. firecracker dude dude that stuff's legit. it's so it's so legit if here's here's. something that you can do which is you. put a little bit of that in your coffee. T dude it's good it is good I bet it' be.

good in bone broth oh my gosh man that. stuff like hardboiled eggs game game. changer on hard boil eggs I'll make the. other day I had some people over and I. was like just Cho firecracker Farm I. love this guy super legit yeah and. tastes good too it's amazing sauces come. with all the like the sauce right and. this this sounds like a straightup. commercial it's it's not I love this guy. and I love his product it's awesome so.

you know the dude who's running this. company yeah we DM each other back and. forth all the time Co and he sent me. Mike Glover and Andy a bunch of this. stuff and most of the time I'm like eh. you I think I found out about it from. Eddie Gallagher oh yeah Eddie loves it. too it's legit it's very legit it's hot. as [ __ ] I put some when I got it I. cranked it out put it in my hand and. licked it I was like whoa Daddy my my. daughter had some kids over and they. were messing around in the kitchen and. they got some in their [ __ ] eyes oh.

spicy so what's what's what's next. what's going on like from a context of. like what do you you just opened up your. Club what's the next big thing are you. going on tour I don't know I'm thinking. about starting touring again um I think. uh right now I'm just having fun and you. know now that uh hunting season's over I. can chill I'm getting back into. Jiu-Jitsu I want to do that soon and and. then um just [ __ ] enjoying my time. yeah that's it I I think we were talking. about this at in California did you.

build this here like as part of like. getting reps in just getting rep after. rep yeah well I built it because there. wasn't a home base here right you know. when when all these Comics came out with. me when we we moved out and we found out. that we could perform in Austin and for. comedians like performing is like a drug. it's like you can't perform like La shut. everything down for so long and then the. grape vine got out that like from. November 2020 we were doing shows here. totally irresponsibly indoors and they.

were like what they're doing comedy. indoors in Austin this is crazy packed. shows and put them up on Instagram. people like what the [ __ ] this is nuts. and so many Comics started moving here. and then I realized what we missed about. La we missed about The Comedy Store was. that was home base and that you need. like comedians need a community you need. like a home Club you need where a bunch. of comics hang out you fuel each other. everybody inspires each other you know. when you're seeing these guys like Brian. Simpson going up in murder and he's. doing all this new material and Shane.

Gillis is going up and murdering and. Tony henchcliffe is going up and. murdering there's like a feeling in the. building like there's a an excitement to. the building and that's what I wanted to. to create here I wanted to create a real. home for these comics and I also wanted. to create a real development platform I. think that was that's a that's a key. part of comedy clubs that's missing from. these places that just want to make. money because you could take your Sunday. and Monday and just bring in Headliners. and pack the house and make a lot of. money or you can do Open Mic nights and.

develop talent and have these people. have a real opportunity to get up at the. best comedy club on Earth for the very. first time ever and go up and do a. couple of minutes of jokes and see if. you can get a laugh and you never know. you might be good you might have it in. you you might be that [ __ ] up in school. that they always told you you're going. to be a loser but you have a funny way. of saying things and you go up and maybe. you have some insight that other people. maybe they would be too scared to say or. maybe they would notice it or maybe.

you'd point something out you never. [ __ ] know and the only way you get to. develop Talent is if you have some sort. of a place for people to perform that. aren't any good that are just starting. out so we set aside two nights for that. every Sunday and every Monday we have. open mic night and we also have people. that work there are aspiring comedians. so all the door people they all had to. they all had to audition with their act. so the the town coordinator Adam had to. go and watch them perform and there was.

this giant audition for door people for. people to get jobs at the club so. there's this feeling in the club like. everybody's coming up everybody's coming. up together when everybody's doing good. Assan who's uh just a [ __ ] amazing. dude and hilarious comedian who's at the. club all the time he said whenever. something happens with with the door. people or anybody else in the club. everybody always says we up we up I'm. like that's amazing that's amazing. something cool happens we up we up and.

they'll yell it like it's great so that. that that environment like that's what I. wanted to create that was the goal but. it's way better than I thought it could. be it's like I I had an idea I was like. let's just do it the best we can and. turns out you. could you got some Spotify money you. could a problem you can make it really. good and and have it set up where the. comedians get paid really well and. everybody gets taken care of and you. feel really good about it and it's a fun.

place to work and it's a good. environment for everybody that's what I. wanted so that's what we put together. yeah almost seems like the the center of. gravity from Comedy is moved off the. coast to Austin and I and I I think and. I'm probably not the per first person to. say that but you're the guy that has. kind of moved the epicenter of Comedy. over here I would I gave him a spot I. created a spot I mean it was it was me. because I financed it and it was my idea.

but it was also we all need a spot and. if one of us can do it and put it. together I'm a good person to do that. right because that's lot what I like to. do I like to help people I like to blow. people up I really do I love to have. people on that I think are talented and. let the world know about them and I like. to I like when I talk about things. whether it's you know on my Instagram or. on the podcast 99% of the time I have no. affiliation with those things I just. think these are good things right people. should see these good things I don't.

think oh I should get a piece of that or. I just think these are good things these. good things should make more money this. this business should be bigger this. comedian should be more popular this. musician should be known people should. read this book this is these are good. things just put good things out as much. as you can so that was my idea with this. comedy club just get great Comics pay. them well well and have a place where. people can go where they know that. they're going to be able to work on. their act everyone's phone's locked up. so people aren't distracted they're not. filming things and just having a good.

[ __ ] time enjoying this just let's. just work together and [ __ ] all get. better together and have a a real home. base and I had the ability to do it and. so I said it's kind of my obligation to. do it like the universe put me in this. place where all of a sudden I moved out. of La all of a sudden I'm in Texas and. all these other Ians come out here with. me I'm like who's going to do it if I'm. not doing it I have to do it so we just. went and did it and with a a [ __ ]. grab of Ron White grabbed me by my.

shoulders when he got off stage the. first time he got on stage he was he. hadn't done St done standup in like over. a year I think it was or close to it and. he grabs me by my shoulders goes. whatever the [ __ ] we got to do he goes. you're going to open up that club we're. going to do this like he hadn't done. stand up in so long and he was so he. [ __ ] murdered and he went on stage. and was just Giant Standing Ovation it. was insane i w I wish we filmed it cuz. it was such a beautiful moment it was. his first time doing stand up forever. and he was kind of genuinely like.

concerned about it he listened to his. material he went over his notes he. worked on it all [ __ ] day and so he. went up that night he was just on it. just on it and so you know Ron White is. like he's a good friend but he's also. kind of a hero like to me like in comedy. he's like he's a legend so like Ron we. have Ron White here like of course what. do you want to do you want to open up a. club I'll buy a club like let's do it. and so that's that was the you know the.

this was the second place I bought right. I told you about the first place it was. owned by a cult yeah he told me to buy. that place too you did yes you should. buy that place home by the cult [ __ ]. beautiful. theater on BK's Road [ __ ] gorgeous. theater home black cult boy then I. watched The Cult document I'm like oh. [ __ ] no what is this what happened. here it's so there's so much bad juju. going on in that building so many bad. vibes so many people lost their lives. like literally lost their lives forever.

in that. building that's [ __ ] wild it's wild. yeah it's still a theater I think they. still do shows there God they built that. theater for that dude to dance in front. of his. followers that's like a whole other. that's a whole other segue is like how. how like crazy you know cult leaders are. and what what type of Personality that. person is and like what happens to. people I love this mockumentaries that. uh that a few people have done around.

cult leaders and I think there's a. series on Netflix that went into like a. three-part episode how to be a cult. leader I think it's called yeah it's. [ __ ] hilarious well it's just like. you were talking about before well 15%. of the people have an IQ lower than 85 M. and some people just want to be led. there's a a bunch of people a Bunch who. are really lost and never develop the. tools to. be personally responsible for themselves.

they never developed the ability to be. autonomous they never developed the. ability to have their own thoughts and. the the objective analysis of all the. information and coming up with a. rational conclusion and they don't have. people around them they can bounce these. ideas off that they respect that they. can go what about this and that person. go yeah but you have to also consider. this and you're like yeah you do right. right hm okay so what is really going on. like they don't have that in their life. and so some [ __ ] dude comes along and.

he's wearing speedos and he does yoga. and he tells he can give you the knowing. and you can be in touch with God and you. just [ __ ] you buy into it and it's it. feels better than being by yourself and. you're hanging out with all these people. and everyone's cooking together and. you're doing yoga together seems good. seems great it seems like a good time. like that wild wild country yeah yeah. you remember that yeah that great me and. my friend Todd were talking about this. once and he's he's a real sweet guy he's. a funny guy but he was like in the. beginning he was like God I want to live. like. that it goes it all goes bad at the end.

but in the beginning I'm like God I want. to live like that I go I kind of want to. live like that too everybody wants to be. a part of something bigger than them and. especially if it's like a a cool. Community where everybody's nice to each. other and you're all like you're all. connected to God and you're all like. part of this movement of spreading Love. and Hope throughout the the world seems. great in the beginning yeah it seems uh. utopic yeah it's like a drug I think. people have this natural inclination to.

look towards a leader so it's like. looking towards an alpha Chimp in a pack. or the leader of a tribe is a natural. inclination to look to someone who gets. it and if your brain's not that good. someone can come along and [ __ ] throw. Scientology in your face you're like I. like it I like it I like it what do I I. get my own Planet when I die. you can convin them you can [ __ ] sell. it if you're especially if you're. successful like if if you're running.

like the giant Church like clearly you. must know what you're doing you just. pulled up in a Rolls-Royce this guy. knows what he's doing he's a cult leader. he comes out people are like open the. door for him they're calling him the. Beloved like he must be legit maybe I. found the real guy yeah a real guy is. attached attached to God energy how do. how do you think about that from. leadership perspective you know you've. had a ton of guys on but you find. yourself as a leader you find yourself. as a voice like is that come natural is.

that something I just do my best to be. like the best version of me that I can. be and if that also if part of that is. talking about the things that I've. learned then I do that but there's no. part of me that says like I need to be a. leader there's no I don't I think you. could really [ __ ] your head up if you. start believing that and I think that's. where the cult start that's what the. cult start the guy I'm a leader I need. to teach these people they need to. follow my way it's.

like uh probably not maybe you need a. leader too maybe all everybody needs to. like work together maybe that's a better. option like I think the whole leader. thing is like there might be people that. you admire or you see them as uh someone. who is a great example of how to live. life like whether it's Joo or many of. these people that like put that out. there like Joo is one of the best. examples of it like he's written books. about extreme ownership and and that. those are there's valuable valuable. lessons and that kind of stuff but I.

think even with guys like him it comes. natural it is just like this he is just. telling you what he learned this is real. this is what you need to do if you want. to get ahead you got to [ __ ] take. accountability for your own life you got. to you got to embrace your fuckups. embrace your failures figure out what. you did wrong regr group get back after. it those are super valuable lessons and. you can call him a leader because of. those lessons but really what he's. leading is the example of an excellent. life right and that is the best thing.

that we do for each other we lead by. example so you can see a guy who like I. was hanging out with this friend of mine. who's this very wealthy guy who owns all. these businesses and one of the things. that I was like. super like inspired by is how nice he is. to everyone to everyone everyone he meet. he's super friendly and engaging and but. genuine like I'm with him all the time. so I know if he's turning it on or. turning it off it's never off he's like. genuinely any he doesn't have any time.

for negativity he doesn't use email he. doesn't [ __ ] with social media and he's. a multi-billionaire right he's just just. running his life with a a smile on his. face and genuinely engaging with people. like that guy's a leader by example like. that's a beautiful way to live your life. if you can do that you can be very. successful but never turn into a tyrant. that's amazing that's amazing cuz most. people they take the easy way and they. turn into a tyrant everybody around. them's walking on eggshells they yell at. people you always hear about that with. talk show hosts and you always hear.

about that with like people that are. leading a sitcom they just yell at. everybody shut the [ __ ] up and listen to. me I'm the star of the show like you. know that kind of [ __ ] you always used. to hear about that especially before the. internet yeah and I mean some of the. best leadership examples that I've had. in my life were guys that were bad toxic. leaders because you're like God I do not. want to be even close to that guy yes. and you know and I I've had like the. just the I guess the the fortunate. opportunity to serve under some really.

incredible people and with amazing. people that they just inspire you. through action and like one of those. guys I've had a really close. relationship over the last few years is. Johnny Morris the the founder of Bass. Pro and he's that guy really he's so the. founder of Bass Pro Shops so humble he. is so nice he is so genuine we went El. [ __ ] a few years ago he called me. he's like hey Evan you want to go El. [ __ ] I was like yeah let's go like. you don't say no to Johnny right you're.

not like right no like of course of. course I'm going to go and one of the. guys he brought out one of the guys that. plays in uh in his bar there in uh. Branson Missouri um and he shot an elk. we were tracking it Johnny's out there. tracking it and he's like hey guys you. guys want some water like runs down and. grabs everybody some water because we're. putting in some miles he's driving the. truck with us and stuff I mean the guy's. I don't know how many stores that he's. opened I don't know exactly what his.

individual wealth is but he's humble. he's incredibly kind and he's always. there to offer an opportunity for. somebody we went out to one of his. places in Arizona he just sat with me. for a full day just talking about brand. like you know he's sitting on the couch. and his slippers we're going through. brand and and kind of brand moments and. how important those can be and how. important it is for your customer the.

customer came. up a thousand times like how important. this is and it's like those little. pieces that I can pull away from. incredible leaders people that inspire. me or whatever it is it's not only the. good people that you can find where. they're authentically engaging with you. but it's also the flip side of that. where you're like this guy is incredibly. successful and there's another person. that's very toxic and they not engaging. people in an authentic way I don't want.

to be even close to those people like. not even close it's like when people. have alcoholic parents you know they're. in and out of jail always getting. arrested and those people wind up being. super disciplined because they're like. [ __ ] this I not living my life like that. you know I'm not where cops are banging. on the door at 3:00 in the morning to. pull your your dad out of bed right like. there's a lot of people that live their. life by the negative example they go I. am never going to live that life I know. a lot of people who don't drink at all.

not because they have a drinking problem. but because someone in their family had. a drinking problem MH it's one of the. reasons why I've never done Coke I had a. buddy of mine in high school and his. cousin used to sell Coke and I watched. his life fall apart and I remember. thinking oh my God like this guy was. [ __ ] so normal and cool and now all. sudden he's like a vampire like hiding. and just doing coke all the time. like they would hide in this attic. apartment and do Coke him and his. girlfriend they look pale and they like. oh my God you guys got bit by a vampire. it's like the cocaine vampire came along. and stole your life the cocaine vampire.

bro that that vampire steals people's. lives I remember it from high school. because it's not like like there was a. lot of cokeheads in my neighborhood but. there was enough people that did Coke. where you watch the change in their. personality where it just all became. about getting Coke they just wanted to. get Coke I can imag imagine it's it's. got to be prevalent within like the. media world and in La it's got to be oh. yeah it's got to be everywhere it's got. to be everywhere in La I mean I've had.

it offered to me a couple of times not a. lot though right not a lot it's not like. it's something that it's not like weed. my God how many times have people put a. joint in front of me who [ __ ] knows. how many but not Coke is is not I think. Coke people know other Coke people. they're you know they [ __ ] know you got. that vampire mark on you they're looking. at you going now this guy's way too fit. yeah but I know some healthy people that. do Coke which is. wild I know some Jiu-Jitsu guys who do.

Coke really yeah yeah there's people. that just like to party they just enjoy. it enough that they they disregard or. ignore the performance uh negatives. which are very real like if you're. [ __ ] ramping your system up with. cocaine you expect to perform at your. best and you're doing it all all the. time well there's no way even if you're. really talented you're taking a chunk. out of your potential 100% for sure yeah. I think that's where especially if. you're in a combat Sport and yes I.

definitely you know from from my. subculture the people that I grew up. with in the military we're always. concerned about brain injury. TBI I I think one of the most positive. benefits that you know the veteran. Community specifically can do is stop. drinking just stop once you mix drugs. and alcohol in a on an already. compromised or or could be compromised. brain you don't know what's going to. happen right and I know that it's one of.

those things that I've I've tried very. hard to just eliminate out of my life. because of that I've lost too many. friends to to Suicide specifically and. one in particular that was you know my. best friend to uh just about a year ago. and I guarantee it was because the the. mix of chemicals with a TBI guaranteed. TBI um with uh Fighters one of the the. wild things is when you think a guy's. Punchy and then you have a couple of. drinks with them mhm they they get drunk.

so fast like obliterated so fast like. you're pretty normal and they're gone. and you're wondering like wow wonder. what if like that whole brain the whole. punch drunk thing which people always. used to call it punch drunk before they. call it pugilistica dementia but punch. drunk they are kind of drunk and then. you give them alcohol and they get. really [ __ ]. up and there's a lot of people just. walking around like that and also your.

your endocrine system's disrupted your. your body's not producing dopamine or. serotonin properly anymore because of. the brain injuries and so then you're. looking for something to get you out of. this fog of depression and a lot of them. turn to drinking which is crazy because. it's it's a. depressive it's the same it it's it's. very very similar in the veteran. Community because guys will come out. they're redefining themselves trying to. find purpose in their lives they get. depressed because they're dislocated.

from their tribe the people they've been. emotionally physically psychologically. more connected to than sometimes their. family and then they are dealing with. over pressure and or they've been blown. up guaranteed because even on internal. breaches and explosives on targets. you're going to be exposed to the over. pressure from the explosives you're. going to have some type of impact on. your brain like I I would say guaranteed. if you came out of the Special. Operations community and then they they.

switch and I've seen it there's too many. examples for me to list but I've seen it. directly impact uh in a negative way. because they switch to alcohol and then. they find themselves in in the bottom of. a bottle and it doesn't get better like. there that doesn't improve their life in. in any way shape or form for there's an. interim Band-Aid for it might make you. feel better for a short amount of time. but after a while it it puts you into a. spiral and I've seen it happen too many.

times to count and uh and it it it. affects you like I mean it directly. affects me uh every day where you know. whether it's the the war itself or the. post effects of. war I've talked about this a few times. where it's like Iraq is with me every. day of my life whether I like it or. don't like it I've just dealt with it. and now I'm just trying to do the best. that I can to make sure that one the.

machine is one at 100% capacity and two. that I can be an example for other guys. to say you know what I don't have to I. don't have to be in a social. circumstance to have a drink um I can. reach out to a friend if you know if. even if you just reach out to people now. and again and just say hey what's up how. you doing like that's it it helps it. does it it definitely helps and uh I. think from the the that I think that's. one of the reasons why Fighters and. Military guys find each other a lot and.

there's a huge percentage of veterans. that get into Jiu-Jitsu and some of the. things after after service they're. looking for a community they're looking. for a tribe they're looking for. something. physical uh and and I see a lot of. parallels between that makes sense yeah. um. I would think mil military guys like. jiujitsu and martial arts would be an. automatic it makes sense complete makes. sense to help you transition and also. just a great thing to keep your head in.

check keep your mind right it's martial. arts particularly Jiu-Jitsu is a really. good one because there's no head impacts. and you know you can keep your mind. right the problem with sparring like. when if you get into striking Sports. you're getting damage whe you believe it. or not even if you're light sparring. you're you're getting popped you're. you're getting jabbed every now and then. someone hits you with something a little. stiff you know you see stars it happens. it always happens I can't remember a. time you have to have like really good.

training Partners when it comes to. striking where you really trust them. that they're not going to hit you hard. and even then sometimes accidentally. they hit you hard right like you Zig. when you should have zagged you run into. something it just happens but with. jiu-jitsu you cut that down way down. like the amount of head injuries and in. Impact and concussions and Jiu-Jitsu is. Tiny in comparison every now and then. you accidentally Collide heads or you. accidentally catch a knee to the head. and you get knock silly that does happen. but for the most part it's like the.

safest way to engage in Combat Sports. and also it's one of the rare ones what. you could do it with a buddy and you. could both go full blast and you don't. have to worry about killing each other. cuz if you're going full blast in gym. kickboxing I mean you're going to. [ __ ] break your brain 100% And I know. a lot of guys have done it and I used to. do it it used to we used to go to war we. didn't Spar we beat the [ __ ] out of each. other we hit each other full blast all. the time and it was all just about. having good defense and being able to. move around away from shots but you know. the real shots were coming your way and.

you got dinged up a lot and if you're. doing that like forever all throughout. your years like Jerry Quarry is a good. example Jerry Quarry was a boxer who. fought Muhammad Ali on his return when. he took those three years off and Jerry. Cory was like notoriously tough just. tough just would eat [ __ ] punches. well his brother was like him too and I. think his brother only had like one. professional fight they were just always. sparring in the gym his brother wound up. with brain damage just as bad as Jerry.

horrific brain damage just from the gym. the gym [ __ ] counts kids if you're. listening out there and you're sparring. and you're you're you're [ __ ] tuning. up on your friends and you guys are. beating the [ __ ] out of each other that. counts for the rest of your life whether. your coach is telling you that or not. those sparring ing sessions if you're. going in there and you're getting. dropped and you're getting rocked and. you're rocking people and dropping. people you guys are giving each other. brain damage 100% And I was just having. a conversation with a friend of mine who.

uh was a professional fighter who is now. dealing with one of his friends who's. suicidal who used to be a professional. fighter and they were talking about the. sparring sessions that they had they. were talking about Jesus maybe we. shouldn't have been beating the [ __ ] out. of each other all those years cuz they. would go to war and in the early days of. MMA in particular now they're a little. bit more sophisticated about it and. they're they're much more aware of. preserving yourself like there's certain. guys like Max Holloway doesn't even Spar.

he just fights he says I know how to. fight I don't want to get beat up in the. gym and go into a fight compromised he. goes I want to go in a fight 100% so I. don't even Spar he just does drills and. you know he's one of the best alive but. then there guys like Sean Strickland. that Spar constantly you you see his. house got broken into yeah pull that. video up what a wrong house to break. into out of all the houses out of all. the houses to [ __ ] with that guy UFC. middleweight champion who is a gun nut.

yeah and really knows how to use guns. yeah out of all the guys yeah trains he. me you every photo that he has he does. YouTube videos there's [ __ ] ARS on. the wall behind him like he's not. [ __ ] around kids he's ready he's. hilarious that guy is hilarious. hilarious he's very funny he's like he's. so marketable as like an hero but also a. hero you know he's a guy like so here go. to the volume give me some. volume so this is drunk guy and he's.

outside Shawn's apartment Shawn sees. him it's a music. [Music]. play so he throws the guy down on the. ground points a gun at. him and he's standing on on. him I don't know what the guy was doing. it seems like the guy was just. obliterated drunk and he thought the guy. was trying to rob him but I think the. guy was just shitfaced and he was look.

looking for his keys or something what. was he doing says he was arrested oh he. hit a curb okay so so he was driving. drunk uh he stomped out a girl oh my god. oh a security guard saw him stomp out a. girl he jumped into his car and drove. off security followed him he hit a curb. completely shredded his tire drove on. the rim for a while then jumped down and. tried to hide at Sea Strickland's house. oh gosh yeah.

whoops wrong dude that's that's Karma. that is the universe sending you to the. wrong. spot the gravitational pull to to Sean's. house he was such a C strong he was such. a [ __ ] that the Universe guided him to. the absolute worst place he could ever. be while he just did those things yeah. stomped out a girl drove drunk smashed. his car into a curb ditched it tried to. hide at the absolute wrong. spot like that guy's social media like.

has got to be some of the most. entertaining social media he's hilarious. and he's a champion so it's like he's. behaving like a wild young Contender but. he's the number one guy on earth I mean. look it's hard to say look people can. say what they want about that adosa. fight oh Izzy wasn't himself dude he. wasn't himself because he got clipped. with a bomb of a right hand by. Strickland in that first round. Strickland connected with a picture. perfect right hand rocked Izzy and then.

hit him with how many shots did he hit. him with afterwards 8 10 Clean shots to. the Head left hooks in the clinch I mean. of course he wasn't himself after that. you get hit like that in a fight you're. [ __ ] Ville for the rest of those I he. probably doesn't remember those rounds. he fought five rounds compromised who. knows how dinged up he got only he knows. only Izzy knows how bad he got hurt in. that first round but when you get rocked. that way and your legs give out and you. go down like Izzy did that's a.

concussion kids you got rocked that's a. real getting rocked that guy did that so. you could talk all the [ __ ] you want you. know because Strickland seems like he's. got this awkward style and people think. he's not as good as he is but you watch. him tune dudes up you're like that guy's. a [ __ ] [ __ ] man out of all you. know he spars more than anybody in the. UFC and they put a mouthpiece that. measures how many times you get hit he. gets hit less than. anyone seriously got phenomenal defense.

man holy [ __ ] phenomenal defense his his. distance management is off the charts. and it's because he's constantly. sparring so like that's what he does. better than anybody he fights right and. when he spars if you've seen the videos. of him sparring he's [ __ ] fighting. you're fighting him yeah guy like boxers. come in and talk [ __ ] he beats the [ __ ]. out of them with just boxing he's. [ __ ] dangerous man so the universe. LED that guy to that man's. house that's like perfect karmic Justice.

oh it's beautiful for a guy who Stomps. out a girl and then drives drunk and. shads his car and tries to run that is. the absolute perfect way and then it's. all on camera it's amazing yeah it's the. universe sometimes it delivers yeah. sometimes there's an opening and that. [ __ ] wounded. gazelle wanders into Sean Strickland's. house you [ __ ]. victim that [ __ ] of a. gazelle God every now and then yeah. every now and then the universe will.

give us one of those yeah and thank God. you know what I mean yeah it's good it's. good that those but again that's the. right to keep him be arms that's that's. Freedom that's like the ability to. protect yourself he didn't know who the. [ __ ] that guy was what if that guy was a. creep yeah who knows I got another one I. got one for you this a guy tries to rob. a gun store what yeah I sent this to my. friend Sean or my friend uh Justin. rather my friend juson is a a real gun. nut like a [ __ ] Bonafide salt of the.

earth gun nut and uh I sent him this. because I knew he would get a kick out. of it I'll send this to you. Jamie this is one of the ones says. sensitive content do you really want to. share this It'll ask you if you want to. see the real like yeah I want to see it. and then you try to send it hold on do. you really want to share anyway it says. uh this post uh includes a notice saying. it may contain graphic or violent. content yeah I want to share it of. course I want to share it um there's so. much of this on Instagram they must be.

either promoting it but they're. absolutely aware of it right they have. to be aware of it because they put a. notice on it saying are you sure you. want to share it first of all they they. asked me twice do you sure you want to. see it right I said yeah I say they said. you sure you want to share it I'm like. yeah I want to share it and so they let. me so they must know about it so they. know about violent violent [ __ ] like. murders like watch this so This dude. comes into a gun store give me some. volume rob a gun oh someone talking over.

it. imagine this guy thinks he's going to. rob a see that old dude that old dude. has been planning for that moment every. day when he puts his shoes on yeah one. day someone's gonna Rob the gun store. and I'm [ __ ] ready that guy's at the. range practicing for that. one day that's from the Instagram page. thisor. [ __ ] rightor here which is. amazing but imagine these guys thinking.

that they can go he got two guns on him. too thinking he's going to walk into a. gun store and rob a gun store he just. gets dusted like immediately look at. this boom right away. yeah there wasn't a decision-making. process in imagine him thinking I'm. going to go into this gun store going. Rob them and take all the guns yeah yeah. who do you think works there kid who do. you think works at gun stores people. really enjoy guns you don't get the. average Starbucks Barista was like I.

heard there's an opening at the gun. store am I allowed to wear my lip. ring how many pronouns I don't think you. got a lot of pronoun name tags in gun. stores no no I'm pretty sure they don't. I don't think you have to have he him in. your social media bio no not at all. somebody sent me something the other day. this this every time someone says sends. me something that has like their. pronouns in their bio of an email I just. delete it yeah I'm like no no not. playing along with this no I somebody.

asked me the other day then the company. they're they're like well do you want to. do this it's like absolutely never not. they asked you if you want to put. pronouns in the not in mine they were. saying if if we should do it and I was. like my God or let people and I was like. hey man your title and your name that's. all we need to do here we're we're all. good we don't need to do this I'm not. participating in this like horeshit. whatever I saw a comedian that had that. in their bio are they funny I find that.

hard to believe that there possible they. can't be culturally they don't like. there's a section of the population that. tends to be like really liberal like the. woke side of the spectrum they they're. not funny they they can't have humor. they're humorous part of this could they. could years ago they could 10 15 years. ago you could because there's a lot of. people that you would consider woke that. were very liberal but they were able to. use humor in a way that is very.

offensive if it was not humor right. because it's it but it's humor it's only. supposed to be funny it's not like. they're making statements like these are. affidavit these are my real beliefs on. things no they're saying things in a way. that's either ironic or sarcastic or. it's a parody or what but it's very. funny and it's very funny and uses. outrageous language and uses what people. would think is problematic stereotypes. and all kinds of [ __ ] like that and. there was a lot of liberal comedians. that would walk that line and be really.

good at it you know they would say. something racist from the perspective of. a racist person and make fun of that. person but also make fun of the way that. person is talking about things and that. the way that person's talking about. things are all so funny and you could do. that now you can't do that anymore cuz. now those people are so the left has. moved so far it's so far into this weird. world of Narnia where you know like. gender transition surgeries are cool.

like yeah yeah you should be supp trans. kids like what are you saying the [ __ ]. the [ __ ] are you saying support Ukraine. like are you sure did you go over there. what are you saying what are you saying. free Palestine free Palestine from what. like okay what what do you know about it. tell me what you know like are you just. jumping on every [ __ ] bandwagon that. the the left wants you to jump on or. have you really looked into this [ __ ]. like do you what how much do you know. about Israel how much do you know about. Hamas how much do you know about the. history of the region very little but. you got a [ __ ] flag on your Instagram.

bio because that's the fashionable thing. to do and that it's moved so far in that. direction what are your pronouns put. them in your bio okay like you you don't. even have your pronouns in your bio like. this kind of nonsense and compliance has. led them into this weird world where you. can't do proper humor anymore that's why. there's no comedy movies anymore man is. that the reason you think yes they're. scared you can't do like super bad today. no but the guys who did super bad are. all woke yeah yeah 100% I mean all of.

those guys are 100% on on the woke side. of things yeah now and now they're like. kind of they woke themselves out of jobs. they woke themselves out of one of the. the most cherished aspects of movie. goinging times which is going to see a. great offensive movie movie like The. Fairly Brothers like something about. Mary hilarious [ __ ] movie try making. that today well Blazing Saddles try. making something like that like could.

never happen could never happen. everything Brooks everything that they. did oh yeah there's no way it could be. made today no way and he's very liberal. very leftwing guy you used to be able to. do that you used to be able to do that. with humor there's a lot of comics that. are really liberal that were really. funny like 10 15 years ago and now you. watch them it's like a lot of clapter. and virtue signaling it's like you're. scared you're scared you're scared of. upsetting that Bas you you're scared of. them turning on you you want them with.

you always and they're not with you man. they're all trapped in the [ __ ] the. under current the tide they're getting. pulled by a rip tide of this culture run. of muck and they don't you know they. don't do anything to stop it and the. that's why guys like Bill Maher are. interesting yeah because he does he does. he's he never stopped being a real comic. even in the the tide of all this crazy. left [ __ ] he's like wait what the [ __ ]. is going on like what is happening here. like he's not like he's one of the few.

guys saying hey Biden [ __ ] step down. like what what are we doing like what. are we doing the [ __ ] is happening here. this is not this is his time is gone. this is nonsense do you guys want to win. this thing like what the [ __ ] are you. doing and that against what most of that. ideology wants you to say well there's. there's they've lost the ability to be. objective in anything so if you're if. you don't agree if you if you if you. don't pass the purity test yes then.

you're going to be on the right I you're. a Nazi yeah you're you're going to go. over here you're a fascist you're you're. labeled as something that you're not. obviously just because you want to have. a different opinion there's no ability. for people to have a constructive. conversation be OB Ive bring in facts. they've got to make it personal they've. got to go really deep into these. obscure philosophical conversations that. don't make sense I think part of it is. uh like I truly do believe that there's.

part of this that's uh directly. contribute contributed to from our our. strategic enemies I think that we're in. the middle of this information operation. and I think people wittingly and. unwittingly are participating in this. crazy chaotic narrative. and they're saying but this is what we. need to do actually what you're doing is. you're just uh directly relaying. propaganda that's what you're doing and. you're trying to cause cultural divides. and they're trying to divide us they're. trying to make us argue because they're.

the ones that directly reap the benefits. of all this chaos who else would reap. the benefits of this yeah it's it's laid. out by Yuri bof in the 1980s yeah and. people who haven't seen that go watch. this video it's on YouTube former k GB. Defector Yuri. bov he outlines how Russia has invaded. our education system and what they're. doing to try to destroy our culture and.

whether or not you believe in that [ __ ]. or not just listen to what he's saying. and see what's happened he is outlining. exactly how it would take place he's off. by about 10 years yeah but he outlined. it in terms of how many generations it. would take for a complete moral Decay. and a complete. complete like an erosion of our faith in. the Democratic process and all of it's. laid out all of it's laid out exactly. what you see and that's that's the enemy.

of Comedy like you're going to [ __ ]. fall in on that like you can't you can't. be funny no and you you you can't be. funny and be involved in this [ __ ]. chaotic War I was watching a Jujitsu. coach online they were talking about. whether or not not he supports trans. women competing in women's division and. he was saying of course I do because I'm. not a. Nazi we're not Nazis right so if you.

don't support biological males competing. against women in jiujitsu matches you're. a Nazi I was like this is crazy this. this kind of nutty [ __ ] has made it all. the way to. jiujitsu do you think that it eventually. it loses the. effectiveness of of the term if they're. just overusing you know fascist and Nazi. in every sentence do you think. eventually it at least runs out of. inertia because they've used it so much. that it loses its Effectiveness it def. definitely does but the problem with.

that is there's real Nazis out there. yeah exactly that that's the problem. with crying wolf right like one day. you're going to see a real wolf like oh. my God that's a wolf and everybody's. like shut the [ __ ] up like no no no guys. that's a actual Nazi right like they. have a swastic on their back this is a. real Nazi like real Nazis are real. that's what's so offensive about calling. someone who doesn't want a biological. male with a mental disorder to compete. against women in a jiujitsu match that's. that's why it's so offensive to call.

anybody who objects to that a Nazi. because they're are Nazis like no I just. I think biological males have a massive. advantage and I'm not going to live in. your Narnia world and pretend they don't. CU it's [ __ ] stupid and it's. dangerous and that's the reality of the. world we're living in right now there's. a bunch of people that whether willingly. or unwillingly knowingly or unknowingly. they've given into this whether how what. percentage of it is put out by our. enemies what percentage of it is is. really effective psychological warfare.

through manipulation of social media. algorithms and through use of bots and. and troll Farms that shit's real it's. 100% documented it's a 100% real and if. we if you don't believe that it happens. you're living in a fictional reality. because because they're they're either. participating in it or they're taking. advantage of it yes that's their job by. the way because there are strategic. threats whether that's militarily or. economically this is their goal and when.

you're controlled by one party in China. it's the Communist Party they've got a. long-term look and how they can directly. affect and ultimately degrade What We. Believe As Americans because they. benefit from that they want the position. that we have so if people don't believe. that. you're just living in a false reality. period yeah you're living in a false. reality and you're not taking into. account all the things we discussed. earlier about some people falling the. Cults some people 15% of them have an IQ. below 85 like all that [ __ ] is a factor.

cuz they're really easily LED easily and. if you are one of those people maybe you. don't have an 85 IQ maybe it's 89 maybe. is 90 maybe you're just gullible you can. get sucked into thinking that this is. the only way to think and if you see it. magnified in your social media algorithm. because of China and because of Russia. and because of these troll Farms which. we absolutely know exist it shifts The. Narrative it shifts the way people. discuss and think about things it shifts.

what's acceptable when people start. going against the grain and they get. attacked by all these trolls it it. [ __ ] puts the brakes on a lot of. discussions well and and that's the only. way that we're going to. move the the ball forward and I hate. using Sports analogies but that's only. way we're going to be able to move. things forward is if we can get out of. what I would say is this the these the. idiot circus participating in these. nonsense subjects versus hey uh guys we.

have to maintain our sovereignty we have. to maintain what we would call our. principles internationally why why why. is that important why should we be. thinking about these things uh and I. think these are real questions that we. can be talking about like a good one is. why is our national debt the where it is. today why do we have 33 trillion dollars. in in debt what is The Debt Service. going to happen for our country the. individual taxpayers how does that look. like how does that what does that look. like in 10 years from now versus whether.

or not we're arguing who's male or. female or how many pronouns you have I. think we should be talking about those. things like those are really substantive. conversations yeah and then climate. change comes up and that's the next one. people start fighting about it's like. you got to keep as many beach balls up. in the air at the concert as possible. just keep bouncing those [ __ ] around. to distract people it's distraction it's. a giant distraction whether you realize. it or not whether you you you're. overconfident in maybe your own ability.

to navigate Waters and you're like it's. not affecting me it's affecting culture. and if it's affecting culture it's going. to have an impact on you it's going to. come towards you you're going to have to. push back against something that you. wouldn't have to push back against some. real nonsense [ __ ] you know and if you. go against it you're a Nazi like this. whole men using the women's bathroom. like listen I'm not an anti-trans person. but if you don't believe that there are. certain male predators that are sex. offenders that wouldn't take advantage.

of the ability to wear a dress and then. all a sudden be able to go into any. woman's room they want well they. definitely do right and you don't have a. way of discerning who's a legitimate. transperson that has gender dysphoria. that really just wants to be accepted as. a woman and who's a sick [ __ ] who just. wants to go watch women [ __ ] because. those guys are real too and if you don't. agree with that if you don't say that. those people are real now all of a. sudden you've created a whole.

category of of sexual predators that. prey on women that have a Willy Wonka. golden ticket now they can just go into. women's spaces they can go into women's. locker rooms they can go into women's. anything all they have to do is say they. identify as a woman and it's not hard to. do no you don't even have to look like a. woman you just say you identify as a. woman you can put lipstick on if you. want like we are so lenient about this. [ __ ] and I'm not saying I know a. solution because like if you ever met. Blair white oh yeah she should use the.

women's room why shouldn't she use the. women's room like that's a trans woman. who's like that's a trans woman that's a. real she lives like a woman she wants to. call herself a woman I'm in but that's. not everyone no there's there's there's. one this this one I think this person. lives in I want to say Canada but. somewhere North but on their social. media they wrote some women have penises. and if you don't like it you could suck. my dick full beard wearing a dress. looking like a guy in a dress and you're. like okay you might be insane how about.

you're insane and how about if everybody. just accepts that blanket this well now. you have like you you leave this door. open for. chaos and if you can't talk about it. because if you talk about it you're a. Nazi like what are we doing like what. are we doing we we we we gave perverts. like a complete Willy Wonka golden. ticket a hall pass give him a hall pass. and then you can you you can monopolize. the conversation in the country around. what quite literally small meaningless.

things versus saying you know these are. Big strategic threats to our way of life. like I think there's and there are. people outside of this country every day. that are looking to undermine our entire. premise of what we're we've built over. the course of the last several hundred. years I mean I I I don't even. necessarily say that I believe in this. and it's not a feeling it is what it is. in the context of spending most of my. life overseas and working against these. intelligence agencies you know what.

they're capable of and yeah you know. what they're doing they love this like. they love this chaotic weird. conversation that we're trapped in. arguing about all of these different. things because at that point we're. taking our Eye Off the Ball love the. fact that we are trapped in this like. you know endless cycle of of of Wars of. occupation where we spent trillions of. dollars they love that you know why. because it degrades our long-term. military viability in some of these. regions and then you know China can snap.

up ports and economic influence and they. can start building their power and we as. a country if we don't like focus on. those things if we don't really try to. focus on what is culturally important to. us what are we really going to protect. freedom of speech good for instance in. this is we were talking about it. California like comedy is one of the. last places where you should be able to. say what it is that you want to say like.

and and I'm saying everywhere we should. be able to do this and we should. absolutely protect it but if comedy's. under attack from people wanting to. cancel comedy because of jokes that's a. problem as a as a country as a society. that's a [ __ ] huge problem well the. the Lakota had a term called the the. hyoka the sacred clown they had a person. in their society that made fun of. everything because they had this need to. test things like how do I know if this.

thing is legit if well someone can't. make fun of it that's probably a thing. that there's a problem with that thing. if you can't discuss it and you can't. mock it there's probably a problem with. that thing like maybe that thing is like. maybe there's a little bit of a culty. aspect to that thing. and here's a question do you think we're. doing the same thing overseas are we are. we doing the same sort of social media. campaigns we must be I asked Mike Baker.

and he [ __ ] gave me the runaround oh. I think I here's here's my honest you. know you know everybody that starts a a. a a conversation by saying here's my. honest opinion uh but my assessment in. this is I think that we. have uh we have forfeited portions of of. Foreign Service to the left in the. context of wokeism politically correct. like the act of maintaining your.

sovereignty in the context of uh. military and then economically is not. politically correct you can't broker in. um in that rhetoric and then Implement a. strategic long-term goals and objectives. that are going to meet and exceed what. we have to do to maintain America and. ultimately America's power overseas if. you believe in it you just can't because. it's not politically correct uh if you. believe that all nations are created you.

know equal and all political ideologies. are equal that's that's just wrong it's. it's it's not uh you know I tend to not. tend like I think uh communism is a dog. [ __ ] ideology I think that it should. have been flushed down the international. toilet a long time ago we just haven't. done it good yet yeah we're going to. figure it out this time Evan you so. close-minded you can't dabble in it like. it's so dangerous to start dabbling in. these things because it's a failed.

ideology you have to flush it down the. toilet it has to go away forever and. then you have to evolve past that at a. certain point but when you've co-opted. our academic institutions and you've. indoctrinated generations of uh the. academic Elite and then they've worked. their way into Foreign Service and. they've worked our way they've worked. their way into uh the intelligence. apparatus now they're going out and. they're not willing to implement at the.

same degree that they might have been. able to in the 1960s and 70s in the. context of Zero Sum game we are here to. win that's what we do and you got to. play by the rules of nature which is. things will die and when I say that. ideologies have to die like they do when. they're failed and they're bad for. Freedom which I tend to believe in. radical Freedom when they're bad for. individual liberty when they're bad for. Freedom they got to [ __ ] die and if.

you're going to have communism you're. going to need someone to enforce that. it's it's a it only is implemented. through tyranny that's it isn't that. wild yes that no one wants to do that. math they don't want to get to the 10th. problem they want to stop at problem. number seven and go well it's really. important that we share wealth and the. the economic you know disparity is is. wrong and we should all have money from. the state and equal money and and and.

and and we should all share and. billionaires shouldn't exist and okay. okay how do you make that happen how do. you take the money from the billionaires. who do you give it to who gets to decide. who gets what do we vote on where the. money goes what about those people that. are under 85 IQ are they voting on this. too they're going to vote for free. Twinkies for everybody fre free Twinkies. in Mountain Dew do I mean if you just. had should all the billionaires spend. their money on free twinkies and. Mountain Dew and you just left it to. people who aren't billionaires to vote.

for them yeah [ __ ] those people it's. going to vote it in should we take 90%. of the money from people like Bill Gates. and Warren Buffett [ __ ] yeah they don't. need that money click there's a lot of. people that'll tell you that they don't. want like if you're starting off you're. playing a game like the game is. capitalism. if you're starting off and you're 20. years old 21 years old and you know you. don't make any money and you're out. there trying to find your your purpose. in life and then you seeing someone. who's been playing this game for 50. years and he's flying around in a. [ __ ] private jet and getting driven. around at a Rolls-Royce like [ __ ] that.

guy yeah [ __ ] him [ __ ] him he's too far. ahead of the game but you're playing. that game too if you're working and. you're getting paid for your work you're. playing game you might be playing a very. low level of the game but you're playing. the game called capitalism and the more. work you do the more money Mone you get. the more effort you put in to figure out. how to get more money the more money. you'll get if you're successful and if. you're not successful you'll at least. get lessons on how to do it wrong and. hopefully you're going to figure that. out cu many people have including that. guy in the [ __ ] Bentley including.

that guy in the private jet he's he's. just 70 years old and he's been playing. this [ __ ] game for 45 goddamn years. hard you know he knows what he's doing. and if you don't like that game don't. play it but for you to say that he. shouldn't have that money okay. how what do you what are you going to do. you going to take it from him who's. going to take it from him the government. armed people what are you doing because. that's the only way he's going to give. it up it's the only way that's the only. way you get to enforce people. redistributing wealth evenly across.

everybody including people that have. done nothing like and now you're going. to get a lot of angry people and you're. going to get a lot of resentment you. know what pops out of something like. that those ideas far right ideologies. super far right that's the that's the. rebound to this radical leftism you know. uh Steve Bannon was talking about that. he was talking about Trump like the. people that are afraid of trump they're. like he's a moderate he's a moderate in. this movement and believe me if if you. guys [ __ ] with him more someone else is.

going to come along that's going to. resonate with these people that realize. they're getting [ __ ] and it's going to. be just like what's happening in. Argentina where this guy gets elected. and he's like [ __ ] everything. everything's got to go everything's got. to go and it's wild because people are. very excited about that there's a. there's a a ground swell of people that. are really [ __ ] fed up with this. [ __ ] being implemented in all sorts. of countries all over the world there. they're passing these wild hate speech. laws in the UK we were talking about.

yesterday where you can get arrested if. you have something on your phone that. could be used to incite violence so if. you sh if someone sends you a meme it's. a hilarious meme that someone decides. that Meme could incite violence because. it's offensive yeah they could arrest. you this is wild wild [ __ ] and this is. the kind of thought process that leads. us down a very bad path I I think that. that's where people start to sell this.

thing is is this is a utopian future. right where everybody's equal everything. is the same we're all you know in this. fictional reality together but what they. don't understand is it it it is not look. like that it looks like a dis Ian. nightmare is what it looks like in order. to get to this place that you're. briefing us is so so amazing and equal. it it has to take so much control it's. anti psychology it's antihuman it's. anti- Freedom like when you take a.

person's Freedom that's the most. valuable thing that we have yeah it's. it's you're taking away the human. purpose like and that's the thing that I. I I I I often kind of like wrestle with. with people it's like you can't take. away an individual's purpose and expect. or try to and expect that to go well. it's just not it's not like you can't. put them in into a a factory job and say. well you know what this is your plight. in life for the rest of your life this. is what you're going to do and take away.

their their entire existence in essence. their ability to create and Thrive as an. individual that doesn't work like it. doesn't work and also you're going to. get the halves and the half knots like. you had in Cuba you're going to get the. halves and the half knots like you have. in China you know China has kind of a. hybrid system right like they allow some. form of capitalism but until you step. out of. line they send you to the body's exhibit. it's it is it's wild how many young. people are not getting this information.

I think many young people are getting it. now they understand it now because of. podcasts and uh but they still they're. they're outnumbered by the people that. are just the zombies that are buying. into this [ __ ]. wholesale and they're out there and. they're out there with these very strong. opinions that are not very well. researched at all a lack of. understanding of human nature and also a. lack of understanding of all the forces. that have led them to this particular. ideology in the first place that you we. are as a culture being manipulated we're.

being manipulated and it's moving us. further and further away. from just sanity just pure. sanity it's the foundations of of. Western logic right it's it's they're. they're trying to poison the the roots. of Western logic by completely rewriting. what what we would call the history of. the world and the progression I around.

physics and math and you name the thing. that's under assault it's under assault. today and I think who benefits from that. you just have to look around and say who. benefits from that oh our foes that's. who benefits from this I and not much. has changed if you think um now what 2. 200 years ago we'll say Socrates was was. put to death for corrupting the the. corrupting the youth I think is what it.

was and I'm like trying to recall it but. he was out there on the street arguing. and debating with people talking about. ideas and there the Athenians were like. we got to get rid of this guy he's he's. like he's pressure testing what we're. doing like we got to put this dude down. and uh and I think well that was 2 200. years ago so anytime the state deems. information is a threat we should. probably be looking at that information. and then really trying to like have an.

open discussion about it that's the. beauty of America like freedom of speech. yes it is the beauty of America but it's. also why they're trying to crack down on. the internet right the internet has been. the biggest force in not just relaying. this propaganda but also fighting. against propaganda and let letting. people realize like hey like these. people that are supposed to be your. leaders they're compromised and they're. [ __ ] you and there's some things that. they're doing now that they're just. doing and like what what is the economic. consequence of the hundreds of billions.

of dollars that are being spent on these. wars that we're not in interested in. what are what are The Economic. Consequences where where are the actual. legal consequences for uh I mean here's. an easy one which is we invaded a. country of Iraq because of weapons of. mass destruction and they so that didn't. exist not one person went to jail we. spent more time trying to connect this. fiction around Russian collusion for two. years than we did investigating why.

there was a massive information. operation internally to the United. States that said there was weapons of. mass destruction in Iraq not one person. went to jail not one person stepped in. front of Congress and with like had. depositions around why did you say that. there was weapons of mass destruction. when there wasn't not one person but we. spent how many trillions of dollars on. this war and how many people died yeah. how many innocent Iraqis died well I. mean these are hundreds of thousands of. people I mean my peer group alone just.

thousands of people that are physically. and mentally altered forever that spent. uh you could you could you could say the. best years of our life in a war under. false. pretenses and now the long-term effects. are coming back and they also the. government doesn't want to pay for that. bill as well so yeah they they were. trying to deny um golf War syndrome. remember that when they were using. depleted uranium rounds MH so these. people were all getting radiation.

poisoning and they're their children. were born deformed and they were having. these massive problems and they were. trying to deny it because they didn't. want to pay for it they don't want to. pay for it they don't want to write the. check they do when it directly. benefits uh what I would say is the the. military-industrial complex and these. wars of occupation I don't want to make. it sound like I'm anti I think there's a. there's a difference between a war of. necessity that maintains National. sovereignty and a long-term war of. choice for occupation that's a a war of.

choice and occupation is an exercise in. transference of wealth from the taxpayer. into the military-industrial complex and. that's like firsthand experience. spending uh 2003 to 2009 in Iraq uh. I mean that's that's a lot of time four. and a half years on the ground and then. another three years in. Afghanistan just seeing the expense from. blood and treasure alone over the course. of uh 10 years of deployments and.

understanding what the difference is. between. Precision uh tracking and then killing. terrorists and what we needed to do in. order to stabilize a region and then. long-term massive Wars of occupation. there's a very distinct difference yeah. I think that's very important to bring. up and it's also very important to bring. up. that you have to have military power. because other countries have it and.

people who don't think that you should. support the military there's there's. people that think all military is evil. listen if we didn't have it what do you. think would happen what do you think. would happen like what do you think the. whole world would lay down their arms if. we did do you think that's what would. happen we have to live in reality and. the reality of this world and you know. it better than anybody this world is a. [ __ ] messy. place it's we live in a bubble.

here uh you know a very protected. artificial reality when you get out into. the most dangerous places in the world. that's where you. see nature that's where you see the the. real real rules of life which is the. only rules are those of. physics bullets travel at X you know X. feet per second you have a collective. team trying to organize against in a in.

a very chaotic environment trying to. survive but really you you strip every. piece of what you know around rules. around what's right and wrong your. morality is put in into question your. mortality is at stake all the time and. you see the real world it's it's it's. eye openening to the point of you you. understand how great we have it in the.

United States and how beautiful this. country is and you also understand how. fragile life is and how brutal the the. world can be and how brutal Humanity can. be towards each other other you know it. can be gone like that. and I think being exposed to it for that. long and then coming home the the the uh. the things that I've been able to pull. away from that are this place is amazing.

it's beautiful it's it's something that. we should foster and encourage and. continue to pass down through. generations because we're so [ __ ]. fortunate to have hit the birth Lottery. being born here yeah like. I roll out of bed every day man I'm like. this this is [ __ ] awesome like I'm so. happy to be alive like I'm so happy to. have all my fingers and. toes and I'm so happy for the. experiences of. War because it's shown.

me what it's like. to understand my mortality sometimes. second to second but for sure dayto day. for years on end and understand that. we're only here for a short amount of. time and we got to make it [ __ ] count. and we also have to be very grateful and. gracious to what we have here for our. freedoms and our country and our. countrymen and the experience of War.

itself that chaotic environment that's. shown. me traffic rules don't apply over there. right it's like traffic lights and. police officers and you know the things. that we take for granted every day going. to work you know making our coffee doing. all the things that we do you strip all. that away into just the law of nature it. is wild like it is forever life-changing. but you also understand this is what.

we're living in like these this is the. actual consequence of what we're living. and we we we're very protected in the. way that we live life right now yeah I'm. real glad you said that I'm real glad. you relayed that message that way people. need to hear it let's Wrap This [ __ ] Up. sweet appreciate you brother thanks man. always a good time yeah dude Evan Hayer. ladies and gentlemen bye.
