Joe Rogan Experience #2104 - Chris Williamson

Joe Rogan podcast check it out The Joe. Rogan Experience Train by day Joe Rogan. podcast by night all. day cheers. sir what is that black Black Rifle yeah. we're up Chris what's up baby how are. you good to see you man so how long have. you been in Texas now two years wow do. you feel like this is where you live or. do you like this feels like home really.

yeah wow yeah I went back home for. Christmas in the UK and it's so strange. to go back to a place that you know so. well you're super familiar with but. you're kind of different and. Everything's changed but everything's. the same and you fall back into Old. patterns you remember that tree that you. used to walk past on your morning walk. and all of it's very disquieting but. it's fun it's nice the honest thing for. me is the contrast and the amount of. Freedom you have for things that you. would never think were important like uh.

these little nicotine things in. California you can't buy this because. it's. flavored in California you can put a. tent in front of people's houses and. [ __ ] cook meth and no one says. anything no one does anything you could. commit violent crime and you get. arrested and released with no bail then. never find you again there the there's. the laws are so ridiculous but you are. not allowed to have flavored nicotine.

flavored nicotine is dangerous Chris. they're trying to ban flavored Vapes in. the UK very aggressively super. aggressively it's like that's the big. deal that being said I think it's like. some non- insignificant percentage of. school children are using Vapes addtive. there's a no Vapes sign in schools like. like that wasn't something that was. already self-evident well cigarettes. were a big deal when I was in high. school you know uh a lot of kids smoke.

cigarettes it was a cool kids's thing to. do what's the smoking age in America I. think it's 18 yep 18 oh legally yeah. legally yeah it's 18 but when I was a. kid uh people got cigarettes someone got. you cigarettes I don't know when I was. young I remember before I turned to 18. they changed the legal drinking age cuz. the legal drinking age I believe used to. be 18 and then they bumped it up to 21 I. was like damn it dude have you ever seen. the video of when DUIs came in in the. 1980s and they're interviewing people in. cars yeah that is one of my favorite.

videos of all time please Jamie let me. watch that video again yeah the L's like. we're going to bring in. communism don't know what the world's. coming to can't she's got a kid she's. got a baby in the passenger seat no seat. belt oh my God even even did have a seat. Bel there's no airbags those things were. death traps it's one of my favorite. videos Do's this weird there something. I've noticed since being in America your. guys's uh relationship with drink. driving.

is a little bit more LAX than it is in. the UK yeah the number not in Texas if. you if you have any alcohol in your. system at all they'll arrest you like if. you if you get pulled over and they said. have you had anything to drink and you. say yes I have had one drink you're. getting you're getting ARR I [ __ ]. love this video drinking and driving. here is viewed by some as downright. undemocratic he's kind of getting common. this when a fell can't put in a hard. days work put in 11 12 hours a day and. then get in your truck and at least run. one or two beers there making it l at.

the baby drink when you want to can't. you have to wear a seat belt when you're. driving and yeah she's wearing a seat. belt looks like the. baby more protected than I thought it. was it had that thing in front of it. that little cushion in front of it so it. seems like she was like a little bit. more the funniest thing about that is. that thing their issue is it's not with. not being allowed to drink then drive. there's is one worse it's drink and. drive you mean I can't drink and yeah. exactly constantly. a dude I love that video oh my God yeah.

you definitely shouldn't drink and drive. that's true but also you don't really. want people telling you what you can and. can't do and once they start doing it. with anything we going to bring in. communism I see it's cartoonish it's. very cartoonish when they're saying that. it's very ridiculous but kind of they. have a point this is the only point if. you let someone tell you what you can't. do they're going to expand that power of. telling you what you can't do yeah.

always one of the problems is that. puts sobriety was somehow not fitting. with the American way what measur. measuring measuring sobriety okay hold. on a sec okay during the 1950s the. American public and the judicial system. were still airing on the side of the. drunk driver oddly enough some people. were concerned with the mechanization of. measuring sbri was somehow not fitting. with the American way kind of isn't it. kind of isn't but also you shouldn't. drink and drive like both things are. true.

we should like teach people that you. should never [ __ ] do that the I went. to high school with a kid and um he was. a good guy I I knew him from the time I. was like 14 and then when I guess a. senior in high school he was drunk and. he crashed his car and killed his. friend and I remember running into him. on the street we were both walking and I. walked by him and he he's had his head. down and you know I wasn't good friends. with him but I was friends with him I. always said hi to him I said I to him I.

said hey man how you doing he's. like he was done he was done his life. was over man he wasn't he wasn't you. know a regular kid anymore he was a kid. who killed his friend in a drunk driving. accident it was it was a different human. like his life he was this one guy was a. good normal guy fun guy people liked him. he's a friendly guy and then all a. sudden a pariah all of a sudden everyone. knows what you did all of a sudden what. you did you can't believe you did did.

this horrible horrible horrible thing. and you did it when you were so young a. kid he was he was 16 17 whatever he was. he didn't know what he was doing he had. no idea nobody no you're so stupid when. you're that young your brain's not. formed yet and you can't treat them like. they're adults you just can't they're. not adults you know you talking about a. 16y old kid a 15year old kid like [ __ ]. what when they're doing things they. don't even know what's real I mean and. it's all completely dependent upon how.

they were raised like you could get. really lucky and have solid parents and. really have like a good understanding of. how to behave in the world or you could. get [ __ ] and you got some datab beats. the [ __ ] out of you and he's always on. meth and your mother's a [ __ ] liar. and she steals money and she she sells. people stuff you know that's that could. be your reality too and to expect a. person like that to behave exact L the.

way you do with your nice life is crazy. it's crazy and it's one of the weirder. things that we do instead. of instead of looking at the origins of. what are what are the origins of. horrible Behavior it's all terrible. childhoods it's almost all terrible. childhoods instead of looking at that. all we look at is a crime it's very. strange it's a weird thing it's like to. know logically that you just have to. take a few extra steps and you say well. what's what's the root of this problem.

and how do we address that how do we. make it better we have so much money for. other things we don't have any money for. that that seems like one of the most. fundamental problems any country would. face is the amount of people that grow. up that become violent criminals because. they were [ __ ] from the time they were. young they had no shot at life their. whole childhood was just violence and. chaos and that's not an insignificant. number number of people in this country.

and. yet any foreign conflict has to be. addressed with the utmost urgency when. the things that are Paramount to our. daily existence right here with what our. tax dollars pay for right here are just. completely ignored completely ignored. never discussed they'll talk to you. about climate change climate change let. me tell you something if you live in the. south side of Chicago and you get shot. climate change doesn't mean jack [ __ ] to. you.

okay we should address we should address. what the [ __ ] is going on right now not. not climate change do you know what the. ideas of luxury beliefs are you heard of. this no so it's been repop by my friend. Rob Henderson so luxury beliefs are. ideas held by the upper classes that. confer status on them but often cause. costs for the lower class so the seminal. example of this is defund the police. yeah I walked past the house in Austin. not far from where I live that has a.

defund the police flag in the garden out. front and a private security sticker in. the front. window it's so stupid it's such a virtue. you know do you know will store of. course he's been on my show I went for. breakfast with him yesterday he's great. and fantastic of course you don't um. will store who wrote that book the. status game was explaining all this and. how what people are doing what they're.

actually doing he's outstanding so so. good it relates it to so many Behavior. patterns in life it's just like oh my. God this all makes sense he's a legend. of Storytelling he's one of the best. writers in the UK and uh yeah there's. this really interesting example of my. friend Mary Harrington talks about how. the death of chivalry has caused an. increase in domestic violence so it's. very interesting so this is a good. example of this luxury beliefs thing. so yes during the 1960s and70s if you.

were an upper class lady and the guys. that you were dating were from. households that had two parents that had. taught them how you're supposed to treat. people and they weren't mistreated and. all the rest of they grew up like a. well-balanced person to them it might. seem a little bit patronizing for the. guy to hold the door for you right or to. pull the chair out or to make sure that. you get home okay because you live an. existence in which the danger of that. not happening not going appropriately. isn't that great now what wasn't. understood by a lot of the upper class.

feminists that were talking about this. uh derogation of chivalry that they. wanted was that that doesn't necessarily. work for the working class of the. underclass woman who is dating a man. whose father beat him or stepfather beat. him or didn't have a father or was. homeless or addicted to drugs or in. violent crime and she thinks it's a. direct line a single Spectrum from you. should hold the door open for women to. you shouldn't beat your wife and I think. that it's true women should be seen as. something that requires additional. protection. that are precious and and should be.

respected if you derate the stuff up. here sure maybe it means that you. liberate some of the working the upper. class women to be able to go and do. whatever they want but what does this. cause Downstream when you don't have. those guardrails in place for the men. that the lower class women are dating. yeah well just all men period and it. should be and it's here's the thing that. this is how it's looked upon in the. martial arts world if I know that I can. [ __ ] you up. and I [ __ ] you up I'm probably a bad.

person it's never good that a guy who is. like some trained Killer goes after some. regular guy picks a fight with him and. [ __ ] him up it's never thought of as. good it's always negative like almost. entirely negative like the entire fan. base will recognize that terrible. Behavior so if you're a man and you have. someone who is your wife and she's.

smaller than you and. female you have the craziest Advantage. physically it's the most awful tyranny. physically if violence is involved if. you decide that you're going to start. swinging and teaching people lessons and. and then lying to police about how. someone got hurt and oh she fell down. the stairs and if you grow up seeing. that that's even maybe more [ __ ] up.

cuz that's your model for what and. that's probably what their model was. when they were growing. up but it's as men we have to look at. that as the weakest of most disgusting. behaviors including beating up on people. that are weak well that's the reason for. the male monkey dance as it's called the. reason for that is that. it's rivalry between two potentially uh. matched m. and we don't know who's going to win.

that's the reason for the conflict if. there's a huge disparity what's the. point for the conflict you already know. who's going to win right that's why. beating up a 70-year-old guy or a. 10-year-old boy isn't a big deal but if. you're a 21y old dude that's about this. this is exactly why you have weight. classes right it's to create this degree. of intrigue and fairness in the Rivalry. 100% 100% yeah if a heavyweight beat up. on a bantamweight everyone would be. furious but that's what like a lot of.

men are and a lot of women are it's it's. crazy if that happened in the male. martial arts world people would be. furious it's just it's just [ __ ] it's. horrible and it's just it's it's weird. that it's always been a part of like. Cinema there's always been scenes like. James Kagney smacks a girl in the face. and and and there was one God I wish I. could remember the movie it was so crazy. but the the it was like a 1950s movie. the dad was spanking the the the wife.

spanking her like had her over his knee. and the young. girl was saying that that's how he shows. Mommy that he loves. her God you remember that movie Jamie I. know we played it it was insane it was. like this insane scene from a movie. where you're like what what the [ __ ] am. I watching but it's it's a time capsule. into this evolving understanding of how. human beings interact with each other.

that's what it is and it's a time. capsule from less than hundred years ago. what was that super famous is this shely. Temple yes yes it's Shirley Temple. that's what it bro thanks Mama You're. darn toot and I did that means you love. her that's what I've been trying to tell. her oh my god dude you darn toon darn. Toton I am the guy's got some daughter. over his knee and he's spanking her into.

submission spanking her holding her. spanking her that means you love her. Shirley Temple says Shirley Temple was. like the propagandist she was like a. young propagandist she can't tell if. that's actually her I'm trying to type. it in it's not it's not her her so it. might be someone else how many of them. were there how many of them young famous. girl actors were there how many of them. came out great zero it's a mixed bag. Britney Spears is a work in progress. I do not think children should be.

developing in front of the world I think. that's an insane amount of pressure I. think becoming famous in front of the. world is an insane amount of pressure. becoming a child and as you're growing. up you're in front of the world that's. not manageable like you're no one's. designed like that you're going to blow. the hardware I had this idea about we. always hear the problems of child stars. mcoy culin Britney Spears too much Fame. too young and I don't disagree that. thinking about oh my God this person. basically never known the world without.

adoration and attention and focus and. scrutiny and all that stuff right but. there's a really interesting question. about what happens if you're a you know. let's say for example Canadian. psychologist who's been working away in. the dusty annals of some University for. a while. well and out of nowhere you get thrust. into the Limelight and then this bald. MMA commentator plucks you out of. obscurity and now you're one of the most. talk about people on the planet yeah the.

interesting thing here is as the child. yes you didn't know what the world was. like before I understand that can be. disquieting but what about when you had. a sense of self right what about when. you thought you knew who you were and. your place in the world and your place. in the stateus hierarchy as will would. stay yeah what about that and then you. just get ripped from your Moorings and. you're just out in space and the ISS is. going past you and. you're you're certainly going to make. some mistakes there's no way around it. you've never managed those waters before.

if you just get in a a raft for the. first time and you're going down White. Waters to navigate you're probably going. to fall in like you're probably not good. at this if the acceleration is quick as. well yeah if you you're in a kayak and. you know you're hitting rocks you're. probably going to fall in you don't know. what the [ __ ] you're doing but once you. figure out what you're doing then you. can kind of achieve some sort of level. of balance but for him uh I think a lot. of it was exacerbated by uh the benzo. dipene thing so he was taking um anti-. anxiety medication he didn't understand.

when it was prescribed to him how. addictive it was and what the. consequences were of getting off of it. and he talks about it a lot and I think. he was sick for over a year I'm pretty. sure that you there's a number of. psychiatrists that are hesitant about. prescribing that for more than a couple. of days and Jordan was on it for months. and months and months it seems like even. for a couple of days you're like just. kissing death I just want to kiss you. death have you seen have you seen the. Instagram account mug shorties no oh.

what is it my God this is one of the. greatest things on the internet I can't. believe I get to teach you about mug. shorties come on J Mo let's do this yeah. this is a fun account so it's images mug. shots of girls that have been taken in. to for questioning so it'll say in the. top in the in the description what. they've been charged for look at the. look at the the comment. below she can drive me. intoxicated your honor we're under her.

influence her eyes are intoxicating your. honor I think you've been drinking keep. going oh my God it's amazing they're. very. funny there's my Valentine oh so they're. all funny comments oh yeah oh that's. great bunch of thirsty dudes that are. just like I'll [ __ ] they seem to be. making funny jok consensual it seems to. be funny though oh yeah that's. fun what is it called mug shot shotties. s h a wty y s shies but shies o.

possession of marijuana and possession. of paraphanalia it was my weed. officer there's another one it was like. possession of cocaine and someone. replied and said it was. medicinal my face ID doesn't want to. believe that it's me with this uh. headphone on it's odd um I would think. that you know that would be like a. really good place to test jokes you know. as a a comic like with mug shots it's.

like a really fun exercise just to try. to F come up with come yeah you've got. the way that they look and you've got a. short description about the caption you. know who would excel at that is Tony. henchcliffe Tony henchcliffe would excel. at that Mr roast he's the best at that. there's no one better there's no one. better at like finding something funny. about some horrible aspect of what just. happened Jimmy K's pretty good yes yes. he's very good at it yeah the two of. them could do it at it would be a lot of. fun I think they might have done like a.

roast battle they have have they that's. right they have on TV wow that would be. like a Unstoppable object in an. immovable Force Tony comes up with them. they're so fast you can't believe. they're not scripted like his brain just. oh but it's that it's like that 247 like. in The Green Room he's always like got. puns for. everything it's just I don't his mind. just works in a really weird joke writer. way well Mark Norman's the same right he. just can't not do it canot do it very. similar very Mark's even more extreme.

yeah it's unrelenting with him [ __ ]. hell Mark can't like he gets panicky if. we're talking about something weird like. he he he goes I think they're gonna. think it's. boring like his attention fan it's like. it's so short like I don't think he ever. watches documentaries I just he's always. going I think I I texted him a stat. about 77% of 18 to 24 year olds in the. US are ineligible to join the military. because of being overweight or mental or.

drug problems and he just replied with. meal Team. Six that's him 247 that's just how his. brain works he's so good at it so good. at it it's a it's a Marvel of. Personality like when when we do protect. our Parks he's just this he's like the. he's like a a special you know like you. have if you g to make a really good stew. it's not just meat you know you want.

carrots in there you want potatoes you. want spices like he's a critical spice. he's a big carrot he's something that's. very important to that recipe being. delicious like [ __ ] phenomenal dude. he's such a good guy too there's this. idea about. uh in black out of Rowan Atkinson this. famous British comedy uh he was. saying you know your bits don't you one. of the actors says to him and he says. this is different it's spontaneous and. it's called wit and I just always stuck. in my mind that there's a difference.

between having prepared and well. constructed stuff in advance and then. being able to no matter what it is. whether it's insights whether it's. debate whether it's argumentation. whether it's uh analysis all of those. things the ability for someone to just. turn it on like that the verbal sparring. aspect of it some people don't like that. and then there's some Comics that aren't. aren't really good at that they're not. good at like dealing with audience. members or anything like that they're. not good at answering questions but they. they're good at like long takes on.

things where they sit alone in. contemplation and go over some ironic. aspect of a topic and then they write. out really good material about it it's. still super valid it's like there's no. one that's better than the other but. it's there's different personalities. that get attracted to the idea of. constructing a stand-up comedy routine. and for some personalities they're not. like a conflict personality or yeah well. you're a this they're not that guy or. that girl there's someone.

who get some subject bothers them. whatever it is climate change whatever. it is and they just sit on it and. they're like what and then they be alone. they'll be in front of the computer. they'll get a notebook out they just sit. on it for [ __ ] days sometimes bounce. it around back and forth twist it around. start it from this way start it from. start it from the back back it up go. from the conclusion first and then. explain your conclusion in a hilarious. way see if it works better that way and. you you'll you'll do that and then that.

type of comic like that mindset can. create great bits they're great Comics. but they just don't like to do the. audience thing but that's okay too it's. like you can't ask someone to change. their personality but Tony is like he's. a razor tonged man if you talk [ __ ] to. Tony he's he's he's gonna [ __ ] you up. dancing with death yeah I mean he's and. he's not physically imposing whatsoever. so it makes it even more brutal when he. comes after you same with Michael malice.

yes exactly Michael once told me he said. I couldn't get away with half of the. [ __ ] that I say if I wasn't 5 foot s. yeah it helps it certainly helps it. helps to be a yeah like someone who you. can't hit because they're they're weaker. than you yeah but Tony walks that. [ __ ] line wo Whitney was telling me. before I did a little tour toward the. back end of last year which was pretty. interesting and I was saying what should. I expect he says expect to get a bit. more boring as it goes on it's like what. do you mean so well in order for art to.

imitate life you have to live a life and. the problem is if you're on the road all. you know are airports and hotels and. dinners and shows and that's it and she. was saying that she was in a Hollywood. script writers meeting and they were. saying it's a Saturday morning where is. she and someone shouted from the back. she's in a baby shower and he was like. who goes to a baby shower all right uh. she's doing a wine tasting she's like no. one goes to a wine tasting and the room. turned and apparently said no Whitney. you don't like other normal people do.

that right so you've got this vicious uh. trap of success it must happen with. musicians as well how are you supposed. to you know if you're some heartfelt. singer talking about your makeups and. breakups of relationships and now you're. dealing with the fear of me too that's. doesn't exactly give sort of Beautiful. Romance around what you're talking about. the same thing goes for comedians. something goes for anything like the. whole point of what you're trying to do. is be representation be representative. for the normal person yes and the more.

that your life becomes strange and. rarified and on the road the less of. that you get to experience which is less. inspiration for the art yeah yeah it's a. matter of like what are you doing when. you're on the road are you on the road. just to make money because then you just. have to just treat it as a very. fortunate job and you definitely are not. going to get the same kind of life. experience you're not you're just not. you're going to be traveling all the. time and you're going to be staying in. hotel you're going to be doing gigs most. of your time you be thinking about doing.

the material that you prepared and. getting your set together but you could. still take stuff in if you choose to you. know you can go to cities and check out. museums you can go to cities and you. know go on a tour of the town you just. have to be proactive and you could watch. documentaries like I like to watch. documentaries on the road I try to. educate myself more on the road than. watching something just just. entertaining so look I'm on the road I'm. supposed to be doing stand up I'm awake.

let me watch something on Nepal you know. what I mean like let me let me let me. get interested in something like let me. get my mind stimulated with something. other than just performing and traveling. yeah but you have to choose to it's like. you have to choose to go to the gym like. when I everyone's like how's the jet lag. I go you just got to kill it it's just. like a thing you have to do it's like. jumping in the cold water like it sucks. but if you do it you'll feel better you. got to go right to the gym like the. moment you land plain lands check in.

your hotel gym right away no if ands or. buts go to the [ __ ] gym or do a hotel. workout you could do a great body weight. workout you could do a yoga routine. staying in hotels with gyms is the. easiest hack it's nice for that oh it's. so nice if you go to a hotel and they. have kettle bells like oh my God this is. amazing game over yeah this is amazing. and so you just get a nice workout in. really [ __ ] exert your body get that. sweat going get your heart rate up and. you'll settle in all that jetl [ __ ] it's. nonsense it all goes away even when you.

travel when I go to overseas it's like. just just [ __ ] work out one day. really hard and then it seems like. pretty much resets everything resets. everything it's like it's like a. threshold you want to like really sweat. like really get something like push it a. little bit so you're like all right now. we're back just whoop normality yeah. total normality and then also you got to. make sure you're hydrated that plane. travel is just a brutal thing in your. body it's you're probably getting radio. active waves at an unhealthy level like.

those stewardesses you know i' love to. see a study looking at the what's. happening to their telmas what's. happening to their DNA you know of. pilots and stes and stuff is there. anything like that I have no idea I'd. live to know it though there must be. someone must have done a longevity study. on that you got to think when they first. started doing that like for all of human. history they didn't fly people in the. air and then they first started doing. that they had no idea what if it made. him psychic what if like all those all. that radiation what if it was like a. comic book type deal like instead of you.

know instead of you know you get. cancer you get some crazy new power in. comic books everybody gets power nobody. gets power in the real world they'll. come back down and that green other they. invisible see things they can see things. they can turn you gay see if oh. Jesus I think our government is trying. that one I they could do basically. whatever they. want they can see through walls we can. come up with all kinds of superpowers. that they would get but but the idea is.

like we really didn't know what. radiation did for you you know that's. what those uh those terrible um injuries. that those women got that were using. loom y the radioactive Loom what is that. [ __ ] called again Jamie radium R to make. the watch faces lighter so hor and they. were having babies as well they were. pregnant and their kids had problems. they had holes in their faces their. faces rotted off it was horrible I'm. pretty sure didn't Mari Cur also have. some problem like that as well like. everybody that did research around.

radioactive substances early 1900s just. got fully fully [ __ ] have you seen the. the hands of the ladies who used to test. the X-ray machines no oh it's a horrible. injury man because back in the day. before they knew that X-rays were. dangerous they had to make sure the. X-ray machine worked in the office so. these ladies would put their hand in. every day oh before the patient came in. so they were getting a dose of one hand. dose of day and presumably oh was it. always the same hand look at the hand. it's [ __ ] gross man it's just they.

their hands got cancer they just got. hand cancer their hands are all. shriveled up [ __ ] up yeah oh that's an. illustration of one but there's. photographs of one that one up up up. above the top row the middle and the top. that's the one look at that dude that's. a lady who got too many x-rays just. cooked her. hand this hand showing damage from. radiation exposure back in the 1900s see. they didn't know that's what I'm saying. like they really didn't know what was. going to happen oh yeah yeah they would.

test that [ __ ] look at that. dude's hand cooked on the other side. yeah so he just tested the hand see you. so this is the 1900s Jamie what it says. wow. 1865 to 1904 is when with Thomas guy. lived a glass blower wow that's a dude. Clarence oh he would test x-ray tubes he. made on his own hands and died after. developing aggressive cancer aggressive. both of his arms amputated in an.

unsuccessful attempt to save his life oh. my God shortly after his death Thomas. Edison abandoned his research on x-rays. shortly after dude I got to teach you. about this other guy the other guy's. [ __ ] too two two guys there everyone. correct yeah what happened to that guy. Jesus Christ he was saved by the beard. uh I've got a new man crush that I need. to teach you about uh oh and he died 60. years ago so it's okay I'm sorry um so. can I think this guy might have the best.

top paragraph Wikipedia description in. history can you just Google the. unkillable soldier and you'll see a. Wikipedia entry at the top is this a. real human real human when when did he. live 1880 until about 1960 or so so he. went through oh is he he's sissu no so. Adrian carton so Adrian no in the. beginning of the movie that's what they. that's that's the legend yeah maybe it's. not a real guy but well siss is a. Scandinavian movie isn't it no a British. guy he's a good British is it Swedish.

what who made uh sissu did you see sissu. no bro what is it it's amazing what is. it is it John Wick in World War II it's. this one this one [ __ ] badass soldier. that kills all the Nazis it's incredible. it's the one of the most satisfying. Revenge movies yeah so go go to his uh. Wikipedia Adrien karton dewat uh I think. he might have the. best there.

is Lieutenant General Sir Adrien Paul. jizan karton dewart was a British Army. soldier officer born of Belgian and. Irish parents he was awarded the. Victoria Cross the highest military. decoration awarded for Valor in the face. of the enemy in various commonwealth. countries he served in the B war first. world war and second world war he was. shot in the face head stomach ankle leg. hip and ear was blinded in his left eye. survived two plane crashes tunnel out of. a prisoner of war camp and tore off his. own fingers when a doctor declined to. amputate them describing his experiences.

in the first world war he wrote frankly. I had enjoyed the. war there's dudes like that out there. you just have to know there's guys like. that out there this guy's story let me. tell you about him man so he gets born. in 1880 to uh aristocracy in Belgium and. You' think he going to go through the. typical aristocratic route he goes to. Bal College in Oxford his father wants. him to go and study law and you think. right that's that's the end of the story. there at 19 he decides that he wants to.

go and see War sneaks away without. telling his father and literally offers. himself to either the boers or the. British the British take him so holy. [ __ ] he's like I just want to be in war. is holy [ __ ] his father doesn't know so. he's away in war he gets shot in the leg. and the groin gets shipped back home his. father says what you were supposed to be. in University you've now been shot he's. okay well I'll bless this new military. campaign you want to go on he's says I. want to be redeployed gets redeployed.

again to South Africa he was at the head. of the camel Corp which was literally a. group of people who rode into battle on. Camelback so he gets shot he gets shot. in the ear and then in the eye and then. a bullet ricochets and hits him in the. same eye again while he's leading these. guys into battle he gets sent back home. the uh British military say he wants to. go out on the first world war he wants. to go to the front lines of the first. first world war now but they said we. can't send a guy with one eye out there.

because it's going to look like we've. got really weak soldiers so they give. him a glass eye and say the only way you. can go back out if you wear this glass. eye and he says oh okay in the taxi. leaving the hospital takes it out throws. it out of a window and starts wearing an. eye patch the first battle that he's in. when he rejoins when he rejoins the Army. in World War I a piece of shrapnel. explodes his hand and all that's left. are two fingers Hanging On by the skin. of the palm of his hand and his watch. actually embeds itself in his arm too so.

that this is the first thing that he's. encountered again goes to the field. hospital the doctor declines to amputate. the fingers so he just rips them off in. front of him because he's in so much. pain the arm then has to be amputated so. he says to the guys again I want to be. redeployed they're like you are now a. oneeyed. amputee I want to be deployed Battle of. the S his next battle that he goes into. there's reports from other soldiers. seeing karton deat running into battle. pulling the pins out of grenades with.

his teeth throwing them at the enemy and. reloading a revolver with one hand so. this guy is a single armed killer during. that he gets shot in the he gets shot. through the back of the. head through the head doesn't die in. subsequent battles oh he uh he got. promoted for 24 hours before he. threatened to punch his Superior and. then got demoted again so he's just like. this totally wild dude anyway. he goes through this series of different.

difficult military exposes he takes over. three squadrons who don't have a. commanding officer none of them have any. communication so he this one-armed. oneeyed guy decides to run back and. forth between the three different. companies communicating his own orders. rather than using a messenger he just. does it himself that was what he got the. Victoria Cross for which is our. equivalent of the Medal of Honor during. this time you shot a a bunch more you. think right okay this guy's just led the. most insane campaign through the ball.

War and the first world war time for him. to retire wrong 60 years old in. 1940 he gets conscripted and drawn back. up to help run secret missions so his. first mission one of his first missions. he gets shot down in a FJ going toward. Romania there's a German plane that shot. his plane down circling overhead rather. than get into the dinghy because it. would be an easy target this one-armed. oneeyed guy and all the rest of the crew.

just Bob under the water until this. German fighter pane runs out of. ammunition that goes away he finally. gets picked up second time he goes up in. a plane this plane crash lands and he. swims to shore carrying a uh injured. comrade who survives one arm but swims. carrying this other dude gets captured. by the Italians he's then part of five. Escape attempts and digs a 60 M tunnel. with one arm and a bunch of other dudes.

then he spends a full week hiding out in. Northern Italy despite the fact that. he's 62 years old one armed oneeyed. can't speak Italian and has covered in. scars then he finally finally gets. picked up and released they said that. the only thing that the Italians had. left to do was to use him to enable an. arisce they wanted to no longer be a. part of the war they use Katon Dart to. be an on Envoy between the two Nations.

and they said well you've been a. prisoner of war for N9 months you don't. look or smell the way that you should do. why don't we give you a nice Italian. tailor and he rejected their offer to. give him an Italian suit and said he. would only wear one if they got it from. saval row because quote he didn't want. to look like a. [Laughter]. jiggalo this guy's a human Badger he's. he's 31 medals shot nearly as many times. got used he insulted Mao he insulted.

Chairman Mao in China when he got he got. used by Winston Churchill there's photos. of him stood behind Churchill eye patch. like just a a [ __ ] sleeve and the. he's my new look at him look at. him wow one of the coolest people from. history that no one knows about what an. animal what an animal. Jesus why hasn't anybody done a movie on.

that guy's life I don't know there's. another that that doesn't even really. have a particularly good book he wrote A. Memoir called happy Odyssey which is. like it's a bit it's written by him as. opposed to you know a bit more exciting. uh alist urart this guy called The. Forgotten Highlander this is probably. one of my favorite books I tght Ryan. holiday about this and it [ __ ] blew. his mind so this dude was 18 years old. and got conscripted in World War II who. whose Scottish Scottish regiment gets. sent to I think Singapore then Japan.

joined the war the Japanese just invade. [ __ ] everywhere take everything that. they can including him so this guy is. made to forced March for weeks with. nothing a loin cloth bloody feet being. cut up by the surroundings he has every. tropical disease Under the Sun for 5. years straight dentry and malaria and. everything that you can get probably. yellow fever and full Works he's part of. the forced labor group that's made to. build the bridge over the river Quai.

famous movie he one of the prison guards. tries to sexually assault him so he. kicks him in the nuts and runs away and. hides but there's not much like what are. you going to do what are you going to. run to you can't survive without the. meager amounts of rice that they're. giving you so they find him and lock him. in an open tin box to bake in the Sun. for three days doesn't die like right. okay well this guy's sufficiently. resilient we can probably use him if. he's this resilient to survive this he'd. probably be a good worker so let's keep. him we'll do the rest of it so they then. pull him out they need to transport all.

of these prisoners so they put them on. what they called a hell ship and these. hell ships were just huge tin boxes with. no Swiss cross on the side which is what. you should have to say that you're. transporting prisoners of War so that. it's not a military vehicle and they. would just toss tiny morels of food down. to a 100 men that were in the hold of. this ship and it was baking hot in the. midday Sun as they're traveling over the. water and these guys still doesn't die. they're stood in their own feces people. are dying left and right starting to.

decompose so because they didn't put the. Swiss cross on the side a US military I. think it was a boat or a submarine sent. a torpedo at them so his boat that he's. on. explodes he then catches a piece of flum. or Jetsam or detritus like a little. bucket that he can sit in so that he can. float around basically has a fight with. another Japanese guy who's also doing. the same thing finally washes up on. shore he's free briefly but he's in.

Japanese territory I can't remember what. country he washes up on maybe Singapore. again he then gets recaptured put back. to work again and gets knocked off his. feet by the Bomb Blast from Nagasaki he. gets hit by the Bomb Blast and knocked. off his feet by it holy. [ __ ] 50 years this guy doesn't talk. about it at all doesn't say a peep for. 50 years by orders of the British. government and then finally write to. this Memoir as a call to Arms to bring. the Japanese to account for the.

atrocities you know we had the nurenberg. trials and stuff for the Germans but. there wasn't that similar kind of. Reckoning for the Japanese and he. thought this is this is unforgivable. because of what he went through for the. rest of his life he could only eat tiny. tiny amounts of rice his stomach his. whole digestive system was ruined by. starvation just extended starvation for. this 5year period in very very tiny. morels of food so his stomach had. adapted to that and and that was this. guy and he died in the early 2000s and. then wrote this book The Forgotten. Highlander.

wow I got to get that it's so [ __ ]. good man that's on the list now wow yeah. the I read uh the the rape of Nam. King years ago it's what's it's about. Japan during the war what they did in. China just the atrocities they did with. people's children their babies in front. of them like the way they just tortured. people what what people can justify.

doing in times of war is absolutely. terrifying and when you read about it. and you read about it from a time that's. less than a hundred years ago it's so. shocking it's so shocking because when. you think of the Japanese when I think. of Japanese I think polite culture. Warrior Society long history of martial. arts amazing engineering incredible. automobiles I think of all these like. positive things. I don't think of like what happened.

during World War. II it's really terrifying there was a. documentary about it too that I remember. I had to buy online from VHS tape it was. very hard to get it was some sort of. a educational documentary like something. that they would show at a university. like oh God about the rape of n King. yeah it's just horrible just just to. know that people are capable of doing. that to other people. the children and women and just anybody.

anybody that's not them and you can get. away with it because this is war there's. been an awful lot of very atrocious. things that have been justified by those. people are different to us yeah let's do. something to them any any reason whether. those people vote Republican or those. people don't believe in masks or those. people you know they they have a. different. belief those people don't believe in our. one God those people they're they're of. the unclean Faith there's so many.

different ways people can look at. someone as an other and it's. just it's insane what we're capable of. when we do that because you could people. openly justify horrible things to people. online I see it all the time from. Twitter justify horrible things to. people because the people don't believe. what they believe and they'll attribute. like the most nasty [ __ ]. descriptions of people just because they. don't believe what they believe it's.

like the least charitable view is. highlighted the most just. so you know it's this thing that we have. this ability to other people it's one of. the worst aspects of human beings I. think it I think more people are bound. together over the mutual hatred of an. outgroup than the mutual love of an. ingroup yep I I I think there's this. really great psychological study that. was done where they bring they bring a.

big group of people into a lab and they. toss a coin and if it's heads your blue. team and if it's Tails your red team so. tosic and it's around about an even. split maybe 5050 people and they go over. to the blue team and they say so what do. you think about the red team well I mean. they're not as smart as us are they. they're a bit like [ __ ] stupid you. seen you seen them over there like then. I mean we're definitely we're definitely. the best you actually just saw the. selection criteria the selection. criteria was heads or taals 50/50.

completely arbitrary yeah immediately as. soon as you give people the opportunity. to find some tribal bias to lock on to. they go yeah they go yeah well people. are cowards too that's part of it. there's a lot of strength in being a. part of an aggressive group that. believes one thing you know that's why. you see like a lot of people that have. been sort of bullied their whole lives. become the biggest bully if they're on. like a a something some side of. something that they think is like uh. moving progress moving social progress.

in a certain direction they'll get Super. Hyper aggressive you know it's like this. is their chance you know this is what I. think most people don't understand about. evil the number of evil people in the. world is probably quite low what you. have is people doing evil things for. what they think are good ends mhm almost. all of the atrocities that we've seen. throughout human history are people. trying to doing something they feel is.

righteous yeah because that's what would. motivate them it's very. unadapted good definitely yeah which is. why we enjoy movies like John Wick and. sissu cuz like retribution yeah he the. these people deserve it show show him. the trailer for sisu it's.

amazing how old is this movie it's not. that old two years it was made during. the pandemic came out 2022 and there's. maybe like three words said in the whole. came out this 2020 there's all of those. stats about the number of people that. that ke Reeves kills sorry I I I can't I. I'll ask after. this oh that's so good. it's so good he throws a mine and hits a.

dude in the head with it it's so good. he's a John Wick pilled gun gun maxing. killer look I'm a giant John Wick fan. but it's John Wick times two that's so. cuz it's Nazis he's not just killing. like dumb Russian Hitmen he's killing. Nazis they tried to steal his gold it. was made after the unkillable soldier it. said it was modeled after uh Rambo. basically what from First Blood. Rambo from First Blood a real life. military sniper named.

simoa oh yeah I heard about that that. dude um it's it's funny when you you. think about a movie like Rambo like. Rambo is it's a film that's indic it's. another time capsule it's indicative of. a like a kind of a corny time people. were kind of corny it's a bit cheesy. movies are just like they're they're. hard to things are so much more uh. identified like patterns of behavior. people are so much more sophisticated. socially think about stuff it's very. difficult to get like a Rambo type movie.

made today you know to make like some of. those like the first Blood ones there. was just some like some Chuck Norris. movies they're fun to watch but they're. so indicative of the. time what's this one this is the trailer. the trailer SL it's just a lot of. talking I thought it'd be more. action that's okay L don't worry about. the soap he's tough just shave him don't. move I don't want should have cat your. own. throat John.

Rambo a dude I missed this guy one man. one man they pushed too. far we've talked about them a few times. cuz the grey man but they recently just. said uh slyce said that Ryan goling. could be the only guy he would like. vouge for Rambo but he might be too. pretty to carry on the torch yeah he. might be too pretty to do it or. something he shooting out him he's going. to jump in the water this is basically. the full movie fight. this a long. trailer don't push it I'll give you a.

war you won't. believe everyone's Tik to brain wouldn't. allow a trailer this long anymore you. and all your men couldn't before now. what makes you think you can hand him. now because God knows what damage he's. prepared to. do. explosions [ __ ] brilliant dude but. it's it's a sign of the times it's like. like that did we find out who the little. girl was in that movie oh I did I found. the movie It's called uh hold on to pull. it back up. um Frontier gal is what the movie was.

called Frontier gal. and it wasn't Shirley Temple Beverly. Simmons is the name so that was a that. was a time capsule and Rambo is a time. capsule too it's a time capsule to like. a time where the art form was just. different that was her can I just check. I I I don't seem to recall the complex. plot of John Wick is he still killing. people because of his dog well see they. dra dragged him back in see here's what. happened he killed everybody because of.

his dog and then he was ready to retire. how far did that go first one second one. second one two full episodes of killing. yes well he had he had to get his car. back in the second one so first got the. Mustang was yeah the second one he shows. up he kills everybody at the warehouse. that's storing all the stolen cars and. then he toasts make a toast with the. Russian mob boss to. peace and uh you know it's like and a. man like you really know peace he's like. why not he's like okay cheers so the guy.

freaks out that John Wick doesn't kill. him John Wick leaves goes back to rega. John Wick he doesn't have the slick back. hair anymore he's not wearing the suit. anymore just like a regular guy and uh. he's got his CS all [ __ ] up and they. fix his car and then a dude that he owed. a marker to comes to visit him and says. I want you to kill my sister and he has. to do it because he had this marker with. his bloods in it and so then he's back. in the business that's a second one yeah. and then he kills that guy spoiler alert. and then the whole world's after him.

that's John Wick 3 and then there's a. fourth one and then there's a fourth one. which is basically a superhero and the. fourth one they're like they're over the. top crazy they're so I en I I enjoyed. the fourth one but it's a very different. thing than the first one the different. thing the first one you could kind of. believe that that could really all that. could really happen by the fourth one. they had a band and all that [ __ ] like. they have bulletproof jackets and just. like they're running into bullets and. it's just it's cartoonish but it's fine. the most crazy movie across into real.

world thing that I've learned about is. this modified rx9 Hellfire missile have. you seen this no this thing is insane do. do the honors Jamie let's look at this. so is it one of the Hypersonic missiles. it changes directions this is more. precise so what they realized was that. collateral damage is a big deal in war. zones because if you kill people that. aren't just the target you Galvanize. that group against your yeah there it is.

America's Secret ninjab Blom packed with. blades that shred militants alive oh my. God so there's no explosive in the front. of it it gets deployed using the an. existing platform but rather than having. an explosive payload these razor sharp. six razor sharp swords come out the side. of it and just turn human flesh into. smoothies. look at what it does to a car oh my God. but how precise this thing is it's so.

precise you had the flying jins Su uh I. think it's collo called the Jihadi. blender oh my God and they just shoot it. into cars so it's so precise that you. need to know which seat of the car the. uh the bad guys in b bad dude's in yeah. because if it was a long enough vehicle. front right seat and back left seat back. left seat will be scared but it'll be. fine so there was this dude uh one of. them supposed one of the masterminds. behind 9/11 they'd done surveillance on. this guy and every morning he'd come out.

and drink his coffee on his balcony same. balcony come out and he'd drink his. coffee and and and look out so they just. timed two of those things comes. out and that's it there's no explosion. there's no nothing and this guy just. gets turned into. dust they they shot two of them at them. two just in case the first one missed I. think oh my God laser guided set it off. and here's the other thing because it. only propels for the first 2 seconds and.

then after that it's just using fins so. it works out the trajectory so there's. not even the sound of engine coming. toward you it's just silence and then. blades and death oh it's a flying it's a. flying rage hypodermic do you know what. a rage hypodermic is Rage Hy hypodermic. is a wild mechanical Broadhead that they. invented for bow hunting so instead of a. bow hunting. Broadhead being a fixed blade like a. solid piece of metal that's screwed into.

the end of your arrow instead it's a. mechanical Broadhead that upon impacting. tissue opens up into this huge opening. they make giant holes they call them. rage holes and they kill animals quick. and it's kind of controversial in the in. that if your blade hits a branch on the. way in or or or like a stalk of hay or. something that it could trigger and then. it would [ __ ] up the trajectory of the. arrow and it might lead to a bad.

shot um so there's that and then there's. a could get it could get deployed. accidentally in your in your quiver and. you might not know it when you're. drawing and shooting it could be open it. could open up in flight but if it stays. closed and it does impact it makes a. giant hole cam took me to the bow rack. ah you did uh lift run shoot I did he. [ __ ] me up he made me go up there. Hill made he made me carry that rock how. long did you what is it like two miles I.

don't know I think it's maybe about a. mile up and a mile down but it's pretty. steep and I mean there's a 72b rock you. got to carry the rock down oh yeah yeah. yeah yeah I think did we carry it down I. can't remember wait I think it's. supposed to but he made me he made me do. the trail and then he made but he taught. me to shoot and I was looking at with uh. gruesome Glee looking at all of the. different types of arrows in the bow. rack looking at all of these different. heads and all of the different. attachments it advertises exit wound. 3inch diameter exit wound 5 inch.

diameter cam shoots this thing called a. carnor and the carnor is a Broadhead. that's got four blades it opens up a. canal in these. animals yeah it's like for broad like. for bow hunting though it's extremely. effective if you can get it into the. vitals it's like that's a that's a. lethal shot every time it's such a big. hole I wonder how many. is it more Humane to kill something more.

easily is is my question yeah it's more. Humane to use a. rifle in a lot of. circumstances um look at that that's. literally that's literally just the non. rocket propell version of what we just. saw yeah it's like a. carnor go back to that carnor thing so. you can see it is so that's a that's a. really big one so the the controversy in. Bow Hunting is always like fixed blades. are more durable but mechanical blades.

uh have more cutting surface what is. that what is. that Jesus turn stuff into pizza slices. colorful Eagle that's what it's called. Jesus Christ oh my God yeah that seems. that seems like it wouldn't fly good see. the problem is they have to fly good too. and the more metal surface area you have. the more you have a chance of what's. called planing so as the Crosswinds hit. your your arrows. you can your your blade can drift. because the wind hits the the Broadhead.

so if you have a wide cut solid um like. fixed blade Broadhead that's a that's. another sort of that can catch wind yeah. people tune them like so so if you have. like a single bevel Broadhead so there's. a single bevel Broadhead which is a a. Broadhead which is a fix blade Broadhead. that is only have The Edge sharpened on. one side and that encourages rotation. and that rotation has to align with the. helical of your veins you don't want. them to be fighting with each other so.

if you have a left helical on your veins. of your your arrow you also want a left. heic on this Broadhead and so the these. are tuned in tightly together and so you. have it takes it's a very painstaking. process you have to make sure you're. doing it right you're going to move your. rest a little bit and but once you get. it dialed in you can shoot accurate out. to like 60 70 yards with it you know. that it's called Broadhead tuned so with. Field Point you don't really have to do. that cuz the fletchings they steer it. enough and you just have to be kind of.

On Target you have to be closer but with. broadheads you have to be like really. really locked in so that's the negative. of the Broadhead they made me shoot. through the paper to see where are you. pulling accidentally and then they. adjust and tune and dude I loved it I I. love. seeing anyone that loves anything that. much yeah that degree of passion to me. is so me and my housemate Zach watch. these videos of motocross you know the. the Colin MC. oh is that rally cross sorry and um. these dudes will go out to but [ __ ].

nowhere Scotland in November and it's. pissing down with rain and they're in. pawn shows and they do it to. see and then they turn to each other and. go and they just lose their [ __ ] and. it's so dude it makes the hairs on my. arms stand up Jamie see if we can find. some of these videos that it's the most. pure loving. audience of a thing and just finding. anyone the same as Wayne Endicott at the.

bow rack just the way that they play. with the bow and and they know that if. they add a tiny little bit of flame from. a lighter to uh the uh sight that it'll. sort of cinch it in a different way and. it heats the the sen of the thread and. it tightens that seeing anyone that. loves anything that much is just there's. something very like gentle and and. honest and and and beautiful about that. and it it f me up I couldn't agree more.

I love watching people make things and. put things together and I love watching. people work on cars do mechanical things. I get I'd love that [ __ ] but the bow. rack one one of the things that's. interesting about uh archery is that uh. even just if you're just interested in. target archery any kind of archery that. you're interested in unless you are. shooting a traditional bow where there's. no sights on it and you're just kind of. like doing it by field and you learn how. to aim depending upon where your how. much your arrow weights you can get. pretty accurate with those things but.

not nearly as accurate as you can with a. compound bow and with a compound bow it. has to be fitted to your frame you have. to go to a place like the bow rack and. if if you're lucky and you have a place. like that that's great cuz like they're. really good at it but you might not be. lucky so you might have to travel hours. to go to some place people were when we. were there we I think it was maybe a. Saturday morning and we've driven 6. hours yeah to come to this place and you. have to go to a good place too cuz the. first place I went to that my draw. length they had an inch longer than it.

should have been the peep site was weird. I had to like [ __ ] my head weird to look. at the peep site and then I went to a. good place and they fixed it right and. then I like oh this is an extension of. my body now it it becomes if you. practice it enough it never really. becomes an extension of your body but. you do get so comfortable in that. activity that it becomes a normal thing. to you so then that activity all just. about the fine details of breathing and.

thinking and shot execution in your head. and the goal is always at least the way. I do it is always to make a surprise. shot I never want to get it to go off I. want to be in full draw I want to have. my pin on the Target and I want to just. be concentrated on that Arrow hitting. the mark and then I just go through this. shot execution thing and it goes off and. when it goes off the ultimate goal is. just watch that Arrow go exactly where. you wanted it to go and when I do that.

at like 74. yards it is the most satisfying feeling. in the world just targets just shooting. at a foam Target it's so satisfying and. it requires so much concentration that. in that act of doing that the world goes. away and that's the key to it the that's. the key to anything that I really enjoy. doing that's very difficult I think you. need little vacations from the world. and if you have an hour and a half to. shoot a bow it can provide you with a.

vacation from the world you you are. literally only thing it's so difficult. to do and it's so involving and it's so. rewarding when you get it right that. you're completely locked into this one. activity and the world goes. away I love it man I love I love the uh. Solitude and the peace that you get. doing something that you know well and. that you can get better at yeah and I I. often think about uh like three types of.

Chris dopamine Chris serotonin Chris and. cortisol Chris and my goal is to spend. as much time in serotonin Chris as. possible but you know dopamine Chris is. plays on Modern wisdom and and growing. the channel and and and money and and. new stuff and and traveling to new. places and Novelty and cortisol Chris is. dealing with the operations and it's. executive function it's answering emails. and it's dealing with with challenges. and there like cortisol is kind of. exciting too but serotonin Chris is. walking with your friends in nature and.

calling your mom and catching up and. having dinner going to a comedy show. watching live music and I found. that when I'm not feeling balanced in. myself is when I'm spending too much. time and things aren't bad things are. going well they could be even going. excellently but I'm still in dopamine. Chris a lot and he's gangster rap and a. V8 engine and I want to be I want to be. magic mushrooms in a hammock like but. wait a minute pause please cuz you just.

bought a Camaro I did you son of a [ __ ]. you bought an SS too right two SS yeah. 6.2 L V8 yeah oh yeah you embrac. American culture I just need to get some. beers did you get a a manual. transmission no I've spent so in the UK. almost everybody learns to drive manual. so there's two types of license in the. UK manual license and an automatic. license if if you learn in an automatic. don't get to drive a manual you have to. take the test as a manual oh my goodness.

that's a smart move yep that's one case. where England's got us [ __ ] yeah you. guys win on that one hell yeah we got I. I I think you know it's a dying thing. obviously because it's not as it's not. as smart why do I have to use my left. foot dude your. entire in the UK my whole the left side. of my body left arm and left leg just go. chill out go on holiday for the next. hour while I do this journey I can use. right arm only and right leg but yeah I.

I remember hearing I think it was Tim. Kennedy talking about if you're a guy. who uh is cared about preparedness and. you don't know how to drive a manual car. that's not preparedness imagine that. you're halfway up a mountain and only. one car works or you need to get. somebody down or there's been a car. wreck or something and it's a manual car. are you g to work it out on the fly yeah. how many people know to dri how to drive. manual cars in America do you think. let's guess I would.

say. 10% I guess 10% what do you think what. do you think it is I have no idea for. America maybe maybe I would have guessed. like 50 I would have hoped 50% but I. don't know how many people are exposed. to them in the UK I would say 90% 90% of. driving license holders will be able to. drive a manual car at least that's. interesting yeah I saw a lot of them in. Italy everybody had a manual everywhere. they don't give a [ __ ] about their cars. either they're just crashing like little. dinks there you know we're so precious.

especially in the UK I don't know how it. is in the US so much so precious about. the little scratch you better get that. painted up in Spain or France or Greece. or something that's just that's a bit of. uh what's it called patina a bit of. patina on it gives it character well. some cars they look at that like here. like if you have a Jeep or something. like that get all scuffed up that's fine. but. yeah yeah it's um. it's a good thing to know how to do it's. also the real problem is if there's some.

sort of an electronic blast if something. happens uh like a solar flare that that. takes out the grid and the only uh. because like if Electronics get fried. and this is a real possibility I know. you're like what are you saying first of. all you have to understand entire. planets get fried by supernovas it's not. just Electronics you know things happen. in Intergalactic space that would end. everything for us and it 100% could. happen you know that's that's a real.

thing but solar flares taking out power. grids that's a that's a [ __ ] real. possibility taking out satellites that's. a real possibility and one of the things. about most modern cars is most modern. cars are essentially run by a. computer so if all the computers get. fried guess what your car doesn't work. if that's I mean if we're running into. some sort of situation some horrible. event where all the computers get fried. that means your [ __ ] car doesn't work. you also can't move anyway unless you. have an old car now if you have an old.

car that works on carburetors you know. those are cars like if you have a 19 an. actual real 1969 Camaro not like the. ones I have ones that have um new stuff. in them so all the new stuff is. computers they'll be useless all the the. ECU that powers all the ignition and the. electronic fuel. injection that shit's out the window. your car's now controlled by China that. that no it's not controlled by anybody. it's a lump it's a lump and it's unless. I could figure out how to put a. carburetor on it and I can't I'm [ __ ].

you know and you have you'd have to like. gut the whole system the the the all the. electronics are wired into it the. speedometer wired into it it's like I. was hearing that uh my neighbor has a. Tesla and I think he gets his insurance. through Tesla but they can see the. Diagnostics of how he drives the car so. his insurance is way more expensive. because it knows how late he breaks how. fast he accelerates how close to other. cars he is you want to talk about. encroachment some freedom. I didn't know they did that there's a uh.

algorithm that's used in China that when. someone is applying for medical. insurance it uses the website to track. the number of typos and the movement of. the mouse and they've ma that with an. algorithm to predict pre- parkinsonian. pre-ic uh dementia all of these things. so basically if you're filling in your. medical insurance in China and you [ __ ]. up a little bit your premium goes up wow. oh that's coming all that stuff's coming. and a a lot of dummies are going to.

they're going to sign up for it because. they'll they'll attach to something you. think is important like climate change. and that's how they're going to get you. onethird of J [ __ ] Greta tumberg. again uh onethird of gen Z kids say that. they would accept the installation of. surveillance cameras inside the home to. detect wrongdoing onethird 30% I wonder. if they really believe that or if they.

say that because they know it's not. happening and they just want to say that. they're a good person it's a l yeah. maybe it's also you're also a dumb young. person it doesn't understand what you're. giving up well I think another potential. reason for it might be you're part of a. generation that has traded your privacy. precisely from the moment that you were. born you know what they do Snapchat they. give each other their. locations yeah yes yes the snap map I. think yeah so all the kids know exactly. where all the other kids are so if.

you're dating some gal and you know and. see her with that other person that's on. your friends list and you see you not. where you said you were going to. be you know yeah it's a so what what do. people do now you know they just where. are you I see where you are that's kind. of weird you read the terms and. conditions of Tik Tok a while ago I. can't remember whether you. saw Tik Tok has written into its user. agreement that it can use the. front-facing camera to detect micro. expressions and use that to inform the.

algorithm [ __ ] yo yo so if you like see. something and go yo like see some crazy. Instagram video there it is like. whatever it is that they know yo that. there's pleasure there's disgust there's. anger there's Endy and I bet it's. crossplatform I I I bet if they have. that app that app they have that ability. and you you have it open I bet they use. it no matter what you're doing I bet if. you're flipping over and now all of a. sudden you're on Instagram or now all a. sudden you're on Facebook or Twitter I. bet they still can see all your I bet. they see exactly what you're seeing well.

think about with the Apple Vision Pro. that Jam's going to have to debate about. whether or not he takes it back uh over. the next 12 hours uh how much ey. tracking yeah what is that able to tell. from what you're doing what about the. latency between your fingers and your. eyes is that able to predict uh early. onset dementia or neurological decline. yeah yeah or could that be used against. you if they decide that like what what. what do we get Chris on you know like I. don't like Chris being the CEO of this. company anymore let's decide that he's.

in Decline oh and let's use that start. gaslighting him like you okay Chris you. seem a little you just seem off lately. dude did you hot gaslighting did you see. the outcome from this special Council. report on Biden no I did. not okay let me pee because I this is a. big one and I'm I'm holding in a pee so. get let's pee together okay let's do. that we'll be right back folks. fun as well like yeah I'm watching a. movie 17 hours it's miserable enough as.

it is I don't need to make it any worse. but yeah hydration hydration on planes. people don't think about so important or. radiation do we find out about that do. people die on planes has there ever been. a study on the radiation that pilots and. flight attendants receive I was digging. into it there was not a lot of studies. available one study I found was from. 1992 and it just said that like Pilots. die sooner after they retire and it. wasn't showing no not radiation yeah but. isn't that a to most men that quit their. jobs right it could have been something. a lot of things could have gone into. that people [ __ ] die when they don't.

have meaning and purpose too that's a. real Factor people that retire die. significantly sooner yeah way sooner. it's one of the reasons I think. everybody when they retire should be. issued a. dog a yeah be like a little Carl how's. Carl doing over there is he sleeping. chill woke. up he's so car's the cutest little thing. ever he's amazing he's yeah that would. help but I think what also would help is. have things you enjoy doing you know you. you can still enjoy your life without.

having a job and if you if you've gotten. enough money where you can retire and. you feel like you could pull that off. you should do stuff don't just [ __ ] yeah. but some people don't know what the [ __ ]. to do when they're not working and work. was their everything it was their entire. existence it was their social status it. was how they made a living it was their. social Community it was all their. friends really cuz you like you're with. your workmates more than you're with. your your partner your your wife your. husband what are the what's the number.

where you're awake at home you get home. at 6:00 you're only going to be awake. till 10: if you have to work if you're. doing a 9 to 5 if you're a crazy person. you're up at 11 11:30 and you don't mind. being a little tired in the office but. if you're like trying to be on the ball. you're going to go to bed as early as. you can you got to get up at [ __ ]. 6:30 you got to commute how much time. are you together I've been thinking. about this idea of uh hidden and. observable metrics for life so a. observable metric would be something.

like the amount of money that you earn. per year uh it would be the value of the. car that you drive or the engine size of. the car that you drive uh or the value. of your house uh a hidden metric would. be something like the quality of your. relationship with your partner the. amount of time that you get to spend. without tasks to do uh. the length of your commute things like. that and it's my belief that a lot of. people trade observable metrics for. hidden metric all the time so someone.

will be offered Hey Joe we want to give. you a raise you've been doing really. well at work but this is going to come. with more responsibility we're going to. need you in the office earlier and. you're going to be in charge of this. floor of 10 people okay how much more. money have you got well I've got $15,000. added onto the observable metric but. what's the hidden metric cost that. you're paying for that well peace of. mind and time with your partner or you. take another job somewhere else and your. commute is now 45 minutes longer in both.

directions it's 90 minutes a day that. you're not spending with your kids or. with your wife or with whatever and. because money is the ultimate game it's. the best game it's literally Global it's. Universal it can be exchanged between. different currencies I know your game. can be compared to my game can be. compared to anybody else's but I don't. get to see the dashboard that tracks the. quality of your sleep or the Peace of. your mind or the relationship that you. have with your kids or your wife or the.

amount of time that you just get to. yourself right and I think people should. be very cautious of trading observable. metrics for hidden metrics and one of. the ways that you can try and fix this. is to bring the hidden into the. observable so uh using a Tracker of some. kind maybe to track your sleep uh that. would be a good start or if you were to. uh note down in a journal how you feel. each day oh well maybe I feel a little. bit better today because I did some. that's just. fine just break breaking this put that.

thing down no. worries yeah no I I think just overall. General happiness gets thrown out the. window in terms of the metrics of the. numbers the numbers and the observable. things that make you Superior the car. the watch the stuff you know that but. yeah I always tell people one of the. things about a house I've said this many. times unfortunately but when I first got. my first really nice apartment when I. first moved to California I realized.

pretty early on after a while was like. oh this is just my house this is just. where I live it feels just like the. place that I had in New York that was a. [ __ ] hole you know what I mean it's just. where you live you adapt to it so. quickly yeah it's just where this is. home you know what all you need is a. safe comfortable place that a place. where you can cook and eat your meals. and a television or a computer it's. basically experience have you seen those. memes of uh guys just need this to. survive it's it's like a lawn chair of.

PS5 big TV and a mattress on the floor. like it's like guy apartments or. something oh yeah if you living with all. dudes there's a chance that you're both. or just you on your own that's it yeah. for sure T who I was talking to I was. talking to Dan Bilzerian about this and. he's kind of on an interesting art cuz. he sort of stepped back a little bit. from public life from doing the stuff. that he was doing before and I was. asking him basically whether he thought. he'd overshot dopamine Dan and he said.

he was considering shaving his head. shaving his beard and going working in. an Amazon warehouse for six months to. try and do like a honic reset to see the. problem is it was kind of like when Tim. Kennedy did the waterboarding thing. there's a difference between electing to. do something and being forced to do. something right and the fact that you. know at any moment you've just got the. ejector seat button or that it's going. to be over in six months or that it's. going to be whatever I wonder if that. changes but yeah he basically said you. know this rapid use and abuse of all of.

the things that you can the partying the. cars the girls the Jets the holidays. travel the. drugs where' you go from there you. know it seems. like having things isn't fun getting. things is. fun not knowing if you're going to get. things and then getting them is fun the. middle of dopamine right so once you. once you have things and you know you. can get things getting them doesn't.

become that exciting anymore then how'. you mean cuz if you could just get. whatever you want you don't get that. excited about it like if you like okay. when I got my first nice car I got a I. think it was a 95 Toyota Supra. turbo and it was awesome I couldn't. believe it it's like this is like a real. nice new car and like the car I wanted a. super turbo was this. [ __ ] um I couldn't believe I had it when.

I drive it around i' be like oh my God I. can't believe this is mine I park it I. couldn't believe it was mine but after a. while you you get another car and then. you get another car and then getting a. car is just like this is a great car but. it's you can just do it when you want to. so you get to a point where I call a. gorilla. Buddhism. so when people say the material things. possess you they possess you if you are. really connected to them and they are.

your only measure of worth but the only. way to know that material Goods aren't. really you're not a slave to them is get. them get them have them and then go. okay this is not that important this is. [ __ ] this is [ __ ] you don't feel. better in a $10 million house you do in. a $5 million house than you do in a $1. million house you don't feel better you. feel like you're in your house as long. as it's not a [ __ ] it's like rats or. bugs or you want cleanliness and safety.

you want normal stuff to people like you. want to be able to chill on the couch. couches aren't that much money most of. the stuff is [ __ ] yeah my friend. James says all winds feel the same yeah. and as you start to go up and up and up. the first time that you hit a thousand. subscribers on your YouTube channel or. the first time that you buy a to toota. Supra is the same or maybe even kind of. less than when you get a Rolls-Royce. cullin or you get a gold plaque from. YouTube or you get whatever yeah all of. these wins feel the same so I got this.

other idea that I love about how people. sacrifice the thing that they want for. the thing which is supposed to get it so. a lot of the time we will sacrifice. happiness in order to be able to achieve. success so that when we finally have. enough success we can allow ourselves to. be happy so you sacrifice the thing that. you want which is happiness right for. the thing which is supposed to get it. which is success ESS yeah and it's a. super common pattern amongst High. performers you know they grow up and.

maybe their parents have high standards. for them and they say that the the. subtext is that love is contingent on. what I can bring to the world and. growing up this person internalizes the. lesson it is very important for me to. overperform and they're driven by this. desire to do more and to prove people. wrong and a chip on their shoulder and. all of this the problem is I think that. on average high performers are more. miserable than the average person I. think that more people are driven by.

fear and anxiety and a lack a desire for. validation and to prove themselves to. the world and a desire for acceptance. then some perfectly. balanced optimal loving I just want to. make life the best that I can that's not. to say that there aren't people like. that but I think on balance most people. are driven by that fear of insufficiency. and they're hoping that the next thing. is going to be the answer but another. friend Alex says you've already achieved.

goals you said would make you. happy you've already achieved goals you. said would make you. happy how can you presume that your. happiness sits on the next side of the. next set of goals given that right now. you are on the other side of your last. set of goals so is the key to learn. happiness while you're succeeding it has. to be it has to be yeah there is you.

just have to re you have to. rewire. your your value system and you the word. gratitude gets abused it really does it. gets tossed into that that word that. just like it makes things sound stupid. but gratitude is very important and if. you can actually appreciate where you. are and what you're doing doing even if. you're not doing what you want to be. doing you're going to look back on these. days if you're successful in life and.

you're going to look back on the days. when you're kind of struggling like wow. like I was finding my place in the world. then those are exciting times if you can. be excited while also motivated it'll. just it'll help your life immeasurably. and I don't think it's going to steal. from your your drive and ambition I. don't I don't buy that I don't buy that. either I I used to think that yeah I. don't buy it I don't buy it I know some. pretty happy driven people yeah. there's a fear that some people have. haven't really thought about it that if. I allow myself to be too happy or.

grateful for the things that I've done. what if it kills my Edge it's like dude. you are powered by a nuclear. furnace of ambition you think that. giving yourself a little bit of. gratitude or acceptance or love or. serotonin for the things that you've. done is going to Nuke that no way it's. not going to Nerf any of it it might if. that's your only drive if your only. drive is to achieve financial success. but hopefully what you're doing is.

rewarding in a way on its own one of the. beautiful things about standup is people. do stand up for free all the time like. bigname comedians like Dave Chappelle. does free standup all the time just show. up at a club and do a guess set just pop. in he's not he's not on the list he's. not supposed to be there just does it. for free like what are there how many. people's jobs they just show up and just. do them for free you know that's if you. can find something like that then all. the success and all the that's all. wonderful but you enjoy doing it so much. it's such a fun activity that you that.

you're doing it's not just a making. money vehicle it's a an enjoyable. activity it's so enjoyable you'll go out. of your way to do it for free yeah. Robert spolski who you've had on the. show he says uh dopamine is not about. the pursuit of happiness it's about the. happiness of. pursuit that it's as you move toward. things yeah one step at a time. um it's not the destination it's the. journey but it's so [ __ ] tr I you're. so right with what you say about.

gratitude like we need to Rebrand there. needs to be like it's not you it's me. like how many people want to oh Netflix. and chill like it's these things get. captured by cliches and you're like no. [ __ ] damn it I mean it my way not that. way yeah but yeah the that idea of uh. it's far easy to to achieve your. material desires than to get rid of them. right than to renounce them like it's. way easier to drive a beat up Chevy. truck your last car was a Ferrari right. because you've you've closed that little. Loop right uh Mark Manson talks about um.

he has this great question what pain do. you want in life he says that it's a. much more accurate way of asking the. question what looks like work to. everybody else but feels like play to. you right that's like a common thing. what can you do that is play that to. everyone else's work that's a. competitive advantage that might be. comedy for you for Chappelle Etc I would. happily do this for free. there are other people out there who. would need to be paid an awful lot of. money to go through the drama of getting.

up on stage yeah Mark's contention is. that any Pursuit even the most. existentially aligned will regularly. feel like work so what you need to look. at is what are the pains that you can. deal with better than everybody else. like if you there is pain associated I'm. sure it's not just pure joy as you stare. at a Google doc or a note in your phone. and you're like how am I going to get. this bit out like how do I actually I. can't I need to make this joke about. cigarettes or something and I just can't.

get it to work you're grappling with. something there is a kind of pain it's. not Pure Pleasure every single moment. and I think assuming that your Pursuits. are always going to be perfect just. Bliss out man and there should be no. challenges like no that's not the way. that it's going to work even if it's. your calling in life so better way is. what pains can you deal with better than. everyone else yeah and how much do you. how much do you discipline yourself how. much do you like really put a rigid. schedule toward achieving goals and know.

and and an understanding that there's. going to be these uncomfortable things. these like the creative process it's. uncomfortable that's why people avoid it. that's what step pressfield's book is. all about the war of art I love that guy. it's great great great book such a good. book such a good book for creatives I. tell everybody I used to have I still. have a stack of them out there right. he's got a fresh stack we got a fresh. stack he sends it cuz we I gave him out. to so many listeners cuz there's so many. creative types that that don't. understand that there's this [ __ ]. weird thing that's going on in your head. called resistance and it keeps you from. doing the work that you want to do.

that's almost always satisfying when. it's done and when you're done you're. like God I did it but but part of you is. going to go let's not do that let's look. check out YouTube let's uh let's you. know let's look at this let's look at. the news what's going on in the news man. maybe some weird shit's happening that I. need to pay attention to and then next. thing you know it's an hour and a half. later and you could have been writing. the whole time and every time I do just. sit down and write I'm always happier. it's always but it's there's always this. little bit of a resistance so it's kind. of the same feeling that I get before a.

workout or before a cold plunge or. before anything it's just this feeling. of knowing that there's some [ __ ] you. got to do there was this story that I. learned about Victor Hugo so did. jiujitsu guy no this is a writer I want. to say Victor Hugo is Victor Hugo is a. world champion Jiu-Jitsu guy he might. also be a writer from the 1800s he might. be both of those things a time traveling. man uh so he was a writer and he paid. his servant to come in every night. during the middle of the night while he.

was asleep and pull the bed sheets off. of him off his bed leave six pieces of. paper in his bedroom and a pen or a. quill and lock him in and until Victor. had slid all six pieces of paper written. on underneath the door his servant. wouldn't let him out wow the level that. people get to but think about when. you're really struggling with the. creative process the Ridiculousness of. the things that you'll that will look.

attractive to you it's like yeah I. haven't sorted the cigar cupboard. alphabetically in quite a. while I think that I really think that. the cigar cupboard could do with that's. interesting that that brick that's been. outside I really should find a place for. that brick and the bird feeder needs. refilling like you just find these. bizarre things because your body is just. doing everything it can but this is uh. huberman's thing right what's it called. the mid singular cortex MSC it's that.

thing apparently gogins has got like the. biggest one in the world it's just yeah. the uh thing that allows you to overcome. doing hard stuff right actually grows. yeah it actually grows upon exertion. yeah doing things you don't want to do. yeah I think it's real I I think I've. I've always recognize that that's a. thing cuz when I take time off of. working out it's really hard to go back. to it but if you do it all the time time. it just becomes a normal part of your. life dude routine is such a vicious. cycle up and down yeah I think the whole.

body's that way I really do I think like. basically the way you can strengthen. your your muscles and you can strengthen. your cardiovascular system I think your. mind works this exact same way I really. 100% believe that and I think also the. neglected conjunction of the two is. significant it's very important so many. intellectuals just don't think about. their bodies and so unfortunate you're. just racked with inflammation and you. know just weak joints and weak muscles.

and just you can't open up a jar of. mayonnaise it's like you don't want to. live like that man you don't have to. it's like the idea that the two are. mutually exclusive is stupid that's a. stupid idea the idea that you shouldn't. take care of your body and that you. should really concentrate in your mind. that's just dumb it's a dumb thing to do. you don't you're not going to be doing. complex math 24 hours a day you can take. take the time to do some [ __ ]. push-ups you know how many people do you. think have it the other way. around uh 100% yeah well also because.

it's um in today's day and age there's. uh doing it for the gram right so there. like people that are really jacked that. want everybody to see their muscles and. So you you're you're doing it all day. long you're lifting weights you're. you're involved in recovery and all. sorts if you've got the time to do that. it's most is if you have a job too well. what the [ __ ] how do you have the time. but if you you don't have a job if that. you're like a fitness influencer you.

know I mean that is your job you're. [ __ ] busy man you you want to be. jacked online all the time like yeah. you're probably not reading a lot of. books probably not not meditating all. that much maybe you are I mean maybe. that's part of your Vibe maybe you're. giving off that uh holistic Vibe that's. what you're trying to push you know. you're falling into that line you know. you're bowing to people and [ __ ] saying. you got to be careful with that though. there's a I tried to come up with a an a. name for a trend I saw in myself which.

was productivity Purgatory which is even. the things that I was supposed to be. doing for leisure I was justifying. because they somehow contributed to my. output for work or you know I wasn't. taking a walk in nature because I wanted. to enjoy it it's because I once watched. Andre hubman episode that said 15. minutes of sunlight in the eyes improves. your productivity throughout the day by. whatever whatever I was like if you're. not careful. your everything that you do is infused. with this desire this need this.

composion to be productive yeah and I. think that that's dangerous it is. dangerous it's just not good to be a. human being with that but if you want to. be the best at something you be exive. the the best strategy if you really want. to compete against other top dogs you're. going to have to do more or be better be. smarter figure something out that. they're not figuring out well it's. really game of who's prepared to. sacrifice most it's also who's prepared. to learn the most right who's who's good.

at recognizing what actually happen. versus what you've been comforting. yourself with what you mean if there's a. bad result whether it's a bad result of. business or a bad result of uh your. personal life like there there's always. this desire that people have to find a. reason why it wasn't their fault because. it's uncomfortable but if you can. recognize oh this product Tanked because. of me this is a stupid idea and uh I. need to course correct and I need to.

realize what I did wrong instead of. blaming the suppliers or blaming the. manufacturers or blaming the other. people on the design team or blaming. this but whatever the [ __ ] you're making. or whether it's an album you just put. out that just everybody hates it what. did I do wrong don't don't [ __ ] what. what what do I need to do different and. for a lot of people that is an. uncomfortable moment that they don't. want to experience and so if you're a. high performer the more you could. recognize what you've actually done.

wrong and course correct and not just be. if you're like a CEO of a company you've. got so many people kissing your ass it's. like your ego's got to be inflated it's. going to be so hard to see the forest. for the trees just like being a movie. star in a set you know everybody loves. you here's your bagel y Mr Williamson. can I get you anything it's it's you you. you get a delusional perspective so it's. like amongst those people how many of. them can keep their Humanity how many of. them can actually just be a human and. and then your metrics like how many of.

them are happy how many of these if you. can be a guy who's like a super high. performer and also be happy the I don't. know how happy Elon is but I know he. laughs a lot like I've been around that. dude a lot and he's always laughing. about [ __ ] he's always laughing about. [ __ ] he's clearly under an extreme. amount of pressure he's clearly a high. performer but he's also seems to be. enjoying a lot of it did you see his. interview recently with Lex I think it. was maybe four months ago no I didn't so. on that there's a really interesting. point where Lex is asking him basically.

what it's like to be Elon and Elon. says most people think they would want. to be me but do they they do not want to. be me my mind is a storm they don't know. they don't understand he said that to me. too yeah it's [ __ ] like apocalyptic. and and and and terrifying we spoke. about this last time uh Tiger Woods the. price that people pay to be the person. that you admire you know Tiger Woods. goes through this really difficult. period with his father and all the rest. of it and this is the best remedy for.

envy that I can think of because people. look at Elon as this dude sending. Rockets to Mars and he's making the. coolest cars on the planet and he's on. stage in Japan or China or whatever. doing weird robot dances and [ __ ] he's. super rich you go you don't know the. price that he's had to pay for that you. don't know the internal texture of. someone's mind. uh Your Heroes aren't Gods they're just. regular people who probably got good at. One Thing by sacrificing literally.

everything. else. yeah as especially as a high performing. athlete like what what are your options. like if you if you want to be a fighter. in the UFC you can't also be coding yeah. like you can't you can't also be working. at Microsoft like there's not but can. you also can you also have a functioning. relationship can you also be you know. the thing about Fighters is you do have.

a lot of downtime where you have to. recover you train a lot during the day. but if you make a living fighting you. will be able to have a relationship and. with some of them that relationship. offers them a significant amount of uh. emotional reinforcement parasympathetic. activation yeah yeah it gives them. Comfort it makes them feel normal like. some guys separate from their families. for for Camp because because they just. want to be animals they just want to. they just want to sleep in a [ __ ]. hotel room and just get up and train. every day like a soldier they just want.

their their mind is on one thing this. six week from now event and until then I. don't want to hear [ __ ] when Marvin. hagler's kid was born he didn't go to. the hospital he wasn't at the hospital. he was in Camp yeah Marvin hangler would. go off to uh Province Town it's down the. cape and he would run he would run in. the [ __ ] winter on the sand does that. famous Darren H interview where he's. saying I've got a 2-year-old daughter. don't care all I care about is legacy. and greatness yeah it's a it's a high.

price that people pay I mean Sean. Strickland who continues to seem to he. seems to be sparring like any YouTuber. or streamer that's prepared to get into. the ring with him well he beat up that. kid who's a a a smaller than him. streamer named sneo which is not a good. look um he beat the [ __ ] out of that guy. yeah it's I just don't why he wanted to. do that it's it so easy for him to beat. that guy up what we were talking about. before yeah it's not fair it's just all.

it's like it's not really there were I. mean the kid I don't know what that kid. thought first of all he's so silly for. doing that for agreeing to do that with. Shan Strickland like do you know that. he's never going to have that hold back. if you agree to do that with Israel. aagna is Israel out asagna will take. care of you I swear to God he'll he'll. he'll pop you a little bit and let you. know that you're helpless but he won't. [ __ ] you up he'll smile and laugh and. he'll hug you afterwards you could spar. with him I guarantee you could spar with. him and he just touch your face just to. let you know like you would have been.

knocked out but I just touched your face. it's going to touch you a little bit. move around you can't touch me I touch. you here's this faint and then that's. coming at you and if he's not if he's. kicking you're [ __ ] but even if he's. just using his hands if you're like some. streamer he wouldn't hurt you but Sean. Strickland's a different animal Sean. Strickland has you know he's got this. [ __ ] man code and he he believes. you get your kicked and then hear all. the time constantly if you agree to get. in there with him you're essentially.

agreeing to let him beat the [ __ ] out of. you cuz you don't really have a chance. like you have no chance but in Sean's. defense when he lost to Alex paa one of. the first things he did was go to. Connecticut to go to shar's gym where. Alex trains and train with him when we. was training with Alex paa he was light. sparring so this is [ __ ] like watch. find the video of Sean Strickland. training with Alex paa cuz he's smart. cuz you can't that guy's not sneo you.

can't just to Lo that guy already. knocked you out like P knocked him out. in the first round he hit him with a. left hook and then a right hand as he. was going down like P is a monster so he. was with sparring with this monster he's. like yeah we's just [ __ ] be friends. let's just be friends buddy there wasn't. any of that cheat codes exactly well. he's and P teaches people which is very. interesting you know he's that confident. his ability. that he'll take a guy that he just. fought and a guy who's now the current. look look how they're sparring nice and. light see this they're just touching.

each other just using distance and. sparring and uh there was an actual see. these guys are sparring but they're not. hitting each other hard at all and um. there was a very interesting video that. I just watched yesterday where this guy. was talking about that in martial arts I. don't know if you'll be able to find it. but you know what I guarantee you it's. on my um my list of [ __ ] that I just. watched because YouTube will give you a. list of [ __ ] you don't you just watch. History yeah which is nice um but it was.

very interesting because it was talking. about the importance of play when it. comes to martial arts sparring in that. sparring you know the only way to learn. is to not be under this intense high. pressure high stress situation and for. most people sparring is terrifying and. especially sparring if you're sparring. someone who's like really dangerous yes. this is that guy a long video though yes. and Max Hollow talked about how he.

doesn't Spar and C but if you what he's. essentially saying is he he he breaks. down the mind and how where where's your. optimal time to learn and he talks about. how animals play and about young animals. like when a lion is jumping on another. lion they're learning to play and the. ties he also breaks down how the ties uh. spar Tai Spar very light they just touch. each other they're just touching each. other I've been out to Thailand I've. seen it it's amazing and high level guys.

do that um and they they do that so they. can fight all the time because they. fight almost every week sometimes so. when they're training they can't be. getting beat up all the time so they. learn how to and you know that's fasah. hobby actually talking about that on my. that was fascinating Frost was Frost is. a genius he's one of the greatest. martial arts trainers of all time if not. the best. um so so see these guys are they're. training and they're touching see they. just touch each other and when you do. that you you don't have the fear of.

getting hit back as much and you learn. combinations better you learn timing. better when I first started uh coming to. California I started training at this. place called The Jet Center it was Benny. the jet arz who's this world famous. kickboxer and he had this place in. California that we it was like two. places I wanted to go to when I came to. California one was a comedy store and. one was the Jet Center and unfortunately. they had just been damaged they had the. roof damage from an earthquake and so. they had like flooding problems and. stuff and they had to move out of that.

location so I was only there for like a. short period of time before they went. under um but there was guys you could. Spar there that were like really good. kickboxers but they were also they knew. how to spar correctly so there was this. one dude I used to spar with all the. time I was getting so sharp because we. never hit each other hard and I I knew I. could trust him and he knew he could. trust me so we were sparring all the. time and I was not getting [ __ ] up. like I'd Spar on a day that I had to. film something cuz I knew you be able to. still go to work without a bloody nose. or a black eye so I did all my hard work.

on like the heavy bag but then when I. was sparring everything is just movement. what is the or what are the bad habits. that someone who does that too much can. would you maybe begin to habituate. pulling your punches not telegraphing. sufficiently no you would never you. would never if you fought before you'll. never pull your punches that's not. because you're obviously you are dialing. back that power that penetration you. could say that with Point karate cuz. Point karate they kind of dive in and.

just touch each other but they all know. how to hit bags they all know how to hit. mitts they all know how to hit tie pads. they all know how to do that they know. how to hit things it's just the real. skill level is in control the real skill. level is in be able to counter quickly. but know exactly where your hand is. going and you can do that you can learn. how to control force in a way that like. when I used to do uh tawo demonstrations. like when we'd open up a new school one. of the things you'd have to do is like.

throw kicks at people's faces like stop. it at their face just to show them like. the kind of control that's possible and. you would have your foot like literally. fly up like right in front of someone's. face and you would have someone stand. there who's another student you would. demonstrate on them you just got to. stand there not flinch yep and you just. stand there and my instructor used to do. it to me all the time he would do it to. someone in every class like in the front. row he would demonstrate by stopping the. kick in the air in front of your face.

[ __ ] that's cool yeah and so you would. learn how to do that when you would do. that in like so they the ability to pull. a shot is a part of being a really high. level martial artist and the ability to. spar without and Spar fast without. hitting each other hard is also it's. like something you should know how to do. it's a part of the but once you know. that you're hitting. the only thing is like the anxiety of. being hit that's and the the danger of. being hit because if you're just used to. like pulling shots you could get an.

uncomfortable sense of your like a. dangerous sense of your safy your. robustness and your safety cuz any one. shot takes you out any one good shot. from a strong Striker can take you out. so you not you don't you want no shots. Landing clean you want everything to be. moving away from you this is new though. right I've heard a lot of guys older. School UFC guys saying that this light. sparring thing is mhm a pretty new. invention totally people were getting. knocked out ining all the time all the. time yeah some of the old school.

training camps like you'd hear stories. about like particularly shoot the Box in. Brazil in kurba they had some of the. best fighters of the golden era of Pride. they had vanderlay Silva they had uh. Ninja Shogun Anderson Silva they had so. many killers that came out as one Gem. and bro they beat the [ __ ] out of each. other they beat the [ __ ] out of each. other they knocked each other out all. the time Vander Silva and uh. Shogun famously had a a fight to see.

whether or not one of them would pay for. a pitbull CU one of them had the Pitbull. I think Shogun had the pitb and he's. offered to sell it to vanderlay and vand. said I'll fight you for it and so they. fought and and vanderlay apparently won. and got the dog just in the gym this. isn't there no one's getting paid apart. from in a dog no they would fight fight. like fight fight so when they would go. to fights they're so used to fighting. I'd fight over call the thing about it. is though man it's going to shorten your.

career substantially substantially it'll. shorten your dur durability towards the. end of your career substantially you see. it in every fighter that comes from that. sort of environment and the traumatic. brain injuries that they get when they. Spar like that all the time especially. when they're not slick the thing about. like Anderson Silva above all those guys. was that Anderson was slick he was very. difficult to hit clean so Anderson Silva. when he's sparring like he's flowing and.

moving you know he's very difficult to. catch those guys would go to war just B. on the mouthpiece and [ __ ] you ever. see Vander Silva fight uh yeah I think. so his Nick's name is the axe murderer. Vander Silva was that the guy let's go. now let's go now that CH son but that. was at the end of his career that was at. the end of his career when he came to. the UFC post he all yeah he had gotten. off of all the stuff that he was on when. he was in Brazil you want you want fully.

roided van delay in Brazil when he was a. young man he was a [ __ ] animal dude. he was an animal he he was so scary he. was this was the bare knuckle days this. was like his first fight be knuckle's. coming back yeah it is coming back well. bear knuckle for UFC was how they first. started yeah look vanill was and he had. a cool tattoo on the back of his head. was an animal dude he was an animal I I. saw him meet a fan I saw him meet a fan. once and the guy had the same tattoo in. his head cuz HEI on the ground oh yeah.

everything you do whatever you want in. little briefs as well I love this is in. Brazil this is where it all started man. this is how they did it in Brazil man in. Brazil bear knuckle Valley tudo it's. just when the United States got involved. that it became the the thing that it is. now the gloves yeah I mean they were. stomping and kicking each other in the. balls this is vanderlay when he got to. the UFC so in these days this was the. UFC with zero testing and you see him he. look [ __ ] shreded and then I mean.

vanderlay was a terrifying force and. then he goes over to Pride and he. becomes a champion of Pride but he was. [ __ ] people and there's him against. guy Meer who was a very good fighter and. vandelay just overwhelmed him oh my God. bro overwhelmed him it's just headbutts. everything knees see that headbutt I. don't think that headbutt was legal by. the way I don't think that was legal. back then but it didn't matter they. weren't going to stop it and then vanly. puts him away I wanted to uh monster. dude he was a monster in his prime he. had to get his face reconstructed. because his nose was so flat that he.

couldn't breathe out of it at all so. they took a big chunk of cartilage out. of his rib and reconstructed his face. and he had a totally new face a tot they. made it big he got a big nose so he. could really breathe yeah he looked like. a different human like after the surgery. he looked like a like he showed up one. day and I was like what is going on I. was like we're at the my face I knew. that he had got a his nose fix but they. just fix they make gave him a different. nose like it's way bigger so he could. breathe more he's beating the [ __ ] out. of people he wanted more.

air. [ __ ] V was an animal who do you think's. more is there anyone else that was more. Psychopathic or more of an animal across. your commentry career there's so many of. them who ranks who ranks close to the. top Mike Perry who's one of the bare. knuckle Fighters now he's he's about as. ferocious as a human being gets he's the. dude that chipped Luke ruckel's tooth. right yeah he told him what was going to. happen before the fight he's going I'm. going to [ __ ] you up and you're going to. quit and he just went out and make made.

him quit did exactly what he said he's. an animal man he's a real animal this. bkfc thing's interesting yeah well it's. a very different kind of fighting man. when you don't have the protection of. gloves you know every punch hurts way. more and it also hurts your hands is the. wrapping on their wrists just to provide. a little bit of support structurally. when they're hitting yes yeah. structurally it'll probably prevent some. uh breaks that's basically all it does. is prevent some breaks it connects your. thumb to the hands too cuz the thumb.

breaks easy the thumb like on a missed. punch you might hit a forehead with the. thumb and the thumb will snap so it'll. protect a little bit see Luke cracked. him there with a good left hand and Luke. was a [ __ ] hell of a fighter in his. prime man he was UFC middleweight. champion and in his prime when he beat. Chris Weidman he was a [ __ ] man. he was a [ __ ] but Mike Perry is. not a guy that you can think you have. he's just so tough he's going to keep. coming and if Luke stuck and moved maybe.

had a different strategy maybe would had. a better time but you let Mike Perry. start mauling you he's so dangerous man. he's such a [ __ ] killer and he. doesn't feel pain or if he does he. doesn't let you know it's just he's he's. just uniquely built for that sport yeah. I uh I wanted to teach you about. something that I learned on the show so. you've had a number of conversations. about trans athletes in sport and about. the dangers potentially of of biological. males moving over into women's leagues.

and it always kind of comes back to the. same well if we can get the hormones. down to this particular kind of level. basically can we reverse some of the. structural changes and it kind of gets. into this realm of like hormonal [ __ ]. which is fine but I think that's kind of. been talked to death there's something. that I learned about on the show that I. thought was even more important so the. male and female brain difference can be. detected in utero in embryos in fuses.

that are 6 months old so this is a minus. 3 month year old and they can already. detect sex brain differences by the age. of 10 93% accuracy of an MRI between a. boy and a girl that's exactly or that's. round about the same as your accuracy of. detecting whether it's a or a woman. based on looking at their face that's. the same degree of difference so one of. the arguments that would be put forward. is uh social roles Theory so social.

roles theory is that boys behave like. boys because they see boys behaving like. boys and girls do the same they're. socially uh they're socialized into. doing this that doesn't seem to be true. because this is universal it's across. the board it's present before anybody's. even been born and it's present before. androgens but the reason that this is I. think important towards sport is that. one of the key differences is in what's. called visual spatial abilities and. males have a huge advantage in visual.

spatial abilities this is. preschoolers age three and four they're. throwing accuracy and they're throwing. distance already begins to diverge from. girls and by the age of 19 there's. essentially no Crossover at all you. could understand why this might be the. case because well if you're a ancestral. Hunter you need to as a man be able to. see this is an animal running this way I. have this particular spear in my hand. I'm going to throw it to intersect this. so you go okay well one of the problems.

of using that is you can't bif a male's. performance especially with something. like throwing visual spatial from the uh. physical structure that they have which. is impacted by androgens so uh men have. longer forearms their shoulders. articulate in a different way they might. have more trunk rotation perhaps so they. did a study to try and work this out. instead of having them throw things the. lecturers at this University brought. their undergrads in and used a tennis. ball firing machine like you use for uh.

practicing returns in tennis as. dodgeball and the guys in the class. topped out the ceiling they were very. very difficult to hit the same wasn't. true for the girls the reason is that. the male proclivity to be able to see. things in space understand how they fit. together. understand the propri setion of where my. body is and how I can interact with this. is very very different it's a a sizable.

statistically significant difference. that you find between males and females. now females have their own advantages. social cognition which is emot otherwise. known as emotional intelligence reading. faces lying detection uh what's called. like I think it's uh local memorization. or spatial memorization so you know. those games where you've got a load of. cards down in the table and you got to. match them girls would wipe the floor. with guys that so there are uh. predispositions mentally that men and. women have and this is something this is.

not and this is the important thing this. is not impacted by testosterone level so. you as a biological male can't take a. ton of estrogen or hormone blockers and. have your visual spatial ability be. downregulated to that of a woman so this. to me explains an awful lot about why. the WNBA is struggling because you are. talking about a very different set of. capacities and unfortunately fortunately. I guess the way that sports are done is. it needs to be visually compelling right.

you want to see cool things happening. you want to observe [ __ ] going on a. lying detection test or someone turning. over cards and matching them doesn't. lend itself to being a spectator sport. as much which means that males have this. predisposition which is more. entertaining given the current rule sets. of sport and this to me is a much more. compelling unfairness when you're. talking about male and female. capabilities within sport this doesn't. have anything to do with what time would. they put on hormone blockers this. doesn't have anything to do with how.

what is the testosterone level at this. is innate inbuilt predispositions but. doesn't it have to be agreed upon by the. people that are making these sort of. decisions because most. people there's people that will resist. that they might not they might even. think they might not think you're lying. but they might resist that they might. resist that and say it's not valid. doesn't matter significant I mean right. but you could you could see how people. would have an issue with that. right even though it's statistically.

significant people would go like who did. the. study you know if you're trying to like. say the trans women are women there's. there's a lot of things that you could. say that they have an advantage with. physically the me proving it mentally. just based on that I agree it seems an. issue well you know how big of it's an. issue it's an issue in pool pool's not a. strength game at all M it's a finesse. game it's a it's a game of uh you know.

executing shots Under Pressure it's a. game of angles and it's a game of. geometry and feel but uh very few. women ever get to the level of like an. elite professional male it's like. there's a small Handful in history in. history and that's completely controlled. for articulation of the shoulder. strength maybe a tiny bit of strength on. the break I guess could be on the break. but there's a lot of girls who break. very well and the break today is more of. a control break because they're breaking.

on cloth that's a simonis 860 it's a. very fast clean cloth dude your. obsession your obsession with pool makes. me laugh every time that I hear about it. it's so funny it's like this other wing. of view that's I never think about and. then every time I walk in and I see that. there's like a pool hole basically in. here I'm like ah yeah the [ __ ] pool. Obsession yeah I'm obsessed with it but. there's women that are really good. they're better than me for sure but they. never reach the level of like a Shane. Van boning who's like one of the best.

ever they just don't get to that place I. just think it's an. interesting addition to the discussion. because you you're always having the. same conversation well what about if we. get the hormone levels to hear what. actually we don't suggest that. testosterone what about people that have. got naturally high levels of. testosterone yeah it never gets to. innate inbuilt unchangeable differences. about our capacities about when it comes. to the field of play and if you were to. take you know the top 100 female WNBA.

players and the top 100 male NBA players. and you were to say let's just shoot. three free throws right let's just see. how many are. made that should be a pretty even. playing field and I bet that it would be. the disparity will be very high very. high um in the pool world this the. reason why I was bringing this up. recently A Woman made it to the finals. of a tournament with a transgender woman. and just quit she said I'm not going to. play you in pool yeah they got to a.

woman's tournament and the this. transgender woman and by the way with. pool tournaments I guarantee you they're. not like checking estrogen level there. zero control all you have to do is say. I'm a woman and you could play I could. say I'm a woman and I could play put on. a dress and I'll play [ __ ] You I'm a. woman and if you let it happen you're. going to get crazy people that do this. and and this lady uh she took a stand. she's like you're not a woman I quit you. saw that shake your hand you saw that. Canadian powerlifting coach that just. entered a a competition with the be with.

like just didn't do it he was like yeah. I'm a woman now yeah it's uh it's really. bizarre that they're letting this happen. it really is it's so strange it's like. women's rights have gone out the window. in the in in the sense over the name of. virtue The Virtue that you're you're a. good person and you say trans women or. women well okay in real life maybe yeah. but not on Sports you're a biological. male like it's the same thing as if you.

if you tell someone hey I don't do. steroids now but I've done steroids. straight every day for 20 years and I'm. so [ __ ] strong I could run through a. wall but I'm going to stop doing. steroids and I want to compete with. natural people well [ __ ] you [ __ ] you. you cheated you changed your physique. you changed well that's exactly what you. would say for a woman if you had a woman. athlete and that woman athlete developed. a male voice and giant muscles but was. still a woman was beating up all these. women to be like oh that woman was on. the sauce she cheated she cheated well.

if you're going through puberty guess. what [ __ ] face you're taking. testosterone if you you really say. you're a woman you're going through all. that and then you're after puberty. you're an adult and then you're going. into your 30s you have your whole life. of producing testosterone you have male. tendon strength you have the male bone. density different shaped hips you have. everything's different your competitive. drives. different it's so dumb that we're having. this conversation and the people that. suffer are the biological women and that. was the thing that we were always. supposed to be protecting with Title.

Nine that's the the whole idea of. developing regulations so that women. have sports that they can play that are. just with women it's a fair playing. field the same reason why you don't let. third graders play with [ __ ] high. school seniors it's real simple you you. have someone play Within the parameters. of a fair play environment and you're. always going to get outliers you're. always going to get people that are like. exceptionally strong and fast for their. weight and their age and then you're. going to be get people that are.

struggling physically they just have no. experience whatsoever in athletics and. you got to find the comfortable medium. but it's within a fair parameter of the. biological gender this [ __ ] thing. that's on your birth certificate what is. it that's what you can compete in. whatever the [ __ ] you had what's your. chromosones do you have XY yeah you got. to go with those guys that's it you. don't want to fight anymore okay well. then don't fight but you can't beat up. women just cuz you decide you're a woman. that's crazy that's just crazy it. doesn't make any sense that we're.

allowing that it doesn't it's not. compassionate it's not open-minded it's. not Progressive it's just stupid you're. just caught in some cult-like mindset. and the people that are suffering are. the women the women that would be. competing in Just Sports you see that. thing in Canada where the volleyball. players there five biological males on a. volleyball team and the W the biological. women were sitting there on the bench. waiting why the biological males were. dominating this [ __ ] woman's. volleyball game see if you can find that. cuz it's so crazy it's like we it's.

literally South Park it's South Park. like we're watching South strong woman. yeah it's it's absolute Insanity you. have crazy people crazy people talking. about basketball I had Seth Stevens. devids on the show he's a ex Google data. scientist he wrote a book in 30 days. using AI breaking down a ton of stuff. that no one ever knew about basketball. and it is so [ __ ] cool for every inch. in height that you gain the chance of.

you going to the NBA doubles whoa so 6. foot one is twice as likely as 6 foot. and 6 foot2 is twice as likely as 61 and. it just continues to go continues to go. all the way up the most common name oh. here we go wait sorry go ahead get it in. there most common name five trans. players dominate women's college. volleyball game come on this is so crazy. how many players game of there on. different teams yeah there's like three. on one and two on the other and they. played during the entire game while the. biological women sat on the bench let's.

see if I can pick them. up oh God this is a this is a real oh so. people were freaking out I guess yeah. well they should be freaking out it's. [ __ ] Insanity it's insanity and it's. this thing where you're supposed to. pretend that they're not. lunatics like there was a man in Canada. that was a 50-year-old man that decided. he was he had identified as a. 15-year-old girl so he's competing in. girl swimming events and he was changing. in the same locker room as the girls hey.

what are the odds that guy's a. creep might be one to put on the watch. list for the police I think F what are. you talking about it's so dumb it's just. so dumb that we're accepting it and more. people are accepting it than should it's. it's insane and it it shouldn't be a. sign to whether or not you're. Progressive or you should recognize that. this is a dangerous opening you're. leaving a very dangerous opening here. and the people that are suffering are. the women and the women that are. athletes that are suffering it's going. to ruin their chances at College you. could change the direction of their life.

they might not get a scholarship they. should get because they had to compete. against biological males the enhanced. games get everybody off to the enhanced. games the steroid Olympics Peter teal. just put a ton of money into that yeah. that's going to be interesting how long. before the government cracks down on. them well the problem is I it seems like. from what I read the it seems like they. Supply. the steroids that's what I'm saying like. that seems hang are you are you a. sporting body are you a my steroid. dealer and then you have to think like.

what kind of an influence does that have. on young people like one of the things. about steroids being shunned and illegal. even if it was irrational in some sense. like that if you have an adult. male and uh this guy is 35 years old and. he just decides you know what I want to. take. steroids why is that not okay but you. can prescribe him a ton of different. [ __ ] things that can kill him you can. prescribe him anti-anxiety medication.

you can prescribe him painkillers you. can prescribe him OIC because he wants. to lose weight you can prescribe them. all kinds of things that might have. adverse health risks but you can't. nothing that makes you stronger nothing. we we have a limitation on that it's. very odd and I could see how you would. make it banned for sports but why is it. banned for people like says who I just. want to get jacked says who but it's. it's like says who says one adult says. another adult can't do this there like a.

bunch of do we does do people vote on. that did medical experts vote on that if. they did how' they let fentanyl in I. can't remember I I feel like it wouldn't. be surprising to me if the Cascade was. this ruins fairness in sports and then. we retroactively change the gym rat. normal population rule set to ensure. that the sporting rule set isn't wrecked. I feel like it was probably the trickle. down that way from Sports and Elite. Sports and tested Sports into the public.

but Derek from more plates more dat has. talked about this how if it hadn't been. for the fact that they were Controlled. Substances we would have way safer uh. better researched compounds you know. we're still using like trend balone is. it's from like the 60s or the 70s or. something that stuff's supposed to be. scary oh yeah I've heard scary stories. of people being on that stuff and losing. their [ __ ] mind like literally you. get this cough you get you put to Tren. cough Trend cough yeah you pin pin. yourself and you get this trend cough. supposedly terrifying going back to that.

basketball thing uh the most common name. of basketball players in the NBA. Christopher I missed my calling damn the. reason most yes so the reason for this. it's really. interesting Seth used a ton of different. AI programs to analyze all of this data. and he said he was was able to do what. would have taken him three years in 30. days he wrote this book in 30 days W. it's insane it's really really good uh. who makes the NBA I think it's called. and um the reason that it's Christopher.

is that Christopher is the sort of name. that is given by middle class parents to. their child so it's really an indicator. of social class and there is this belief. that in basketball it's a meritocracy. where the. underclass hardworking athlete can. clamber his way up you know this is. LeBron LeBron single mother who is 16. years old makes it to the top he's an. outl that's not that common the most.

common path is someone that comes from. two parent household that's relatively. well off and you know like classic. advantages that you get Christopher is. the sort of name that's given I think. Michael is another one that's up there. and he does this big word map thing. where you can see the size of the names. and the bigger the name the more likely. it is yeah one of the other things that. no one really ever thinks about is hand. span hand span one of the biggest. determinants for success in the sport so. Shaq has a 14 in hand span from finger.

to hand because palming the ball you. know if you're up there yeah and you're. able to Palm the ball that's a huge. Advantage yeah it's terrifying that's so. big absolutely terrifying just grab that. ball yeah makes sense makes sense it. give you an advantage. yeah it's a it's fascinating when you. break down data like that when you try. to figure out what are the contributing. factors I wonder if they've done that. with martial arts I wonder if someone's. done that with Fighters like height and. reach and things like that what would. you be interested in height and reach.

it's a big factor but it's also like are. you as durable like sometimes this stock. maybe something like that neck width um. the size of the chin I think it's jaw. size hand size would definitely be one. so I worked on the front door of. nightclubs for forever running our. events and uh one of the really naughty. things that door staff would do maybe. they do this in the in America as well. is they get uh like a lead cylinder and. in their leather gloves they put it on. the inside yeah so it the hand now.

weighs a pound and a half more M than. usual you hit someone and that's like a. [ __ ] Hammer yeah um so if that's the. case that rule is mass of hand equals. damage so someone that has denser bones. or more muscular hands or bigger hands. that's basically just more weight on on. the end of your arms that you're. swinging at someone's face so yeah I. mean giant Advantage I think that. Breaking Down Sports in this way that's. why Moneyball was so cool right people.

loved like oh my God this is this is so. interesting because I never really paid. attention to that what is Moneyball so. Money Ball was a assessment of the MLB. done by a guy that was picked up by the. Oakland A's and he was. using very advanced mathematics to look. at to look at uh you got something Jimmy. I was Billy beans his name I was trying. to just yeah Billy beans and um he. looked at undervalued players and what.

contributes to winning a game and there. were players that would bat in a weird. way that would throw a pitch in a weird. way but their numbers were fantastic and. he was the first guy that really really. assessed the numbers of baseball in this. man now it's very very common baseball. is largely a game of maths they know. exactly where hitters Like to Swing they. move the field around based on all of. the statistics that they've seen all of. the analyses that been done but yeah the. movie Moneyball with Brad Pit is. outstanding if you've never seen it you.

absolutely should watch it it's so much. fun but yeah I think this. assessment I don't think it removes the. magic of sport I don't think it gets rid. of the magic of sport to just makes. people nerd out harder deconstruct yeah. and it allows us to obsess it still. doesn't make it easy to do so when. someone does hit a [ __ ] home run it's. still amazing yeah but this is a good. scene from the movie I'm not gonna play. the whole thing but just what's going on. here is he's explaining to them like the. idea what he was just talking about the. Moneyball but there's a bunch of old. Scouts these guys have been around for.

the whole forever and they're just like. what are you talking about we don't we. can't do it that way kind of it's about. really kind of talks about so just. figures it out numerically spoiler alert. is it works they won the World Series. like the next year or something like. that and it's based on a true story oh. yeah yeah it's and so he had himself an. autistic kid yeah that's exactly what. yeah yeah that's the that's the secret. Advantage find people that have got. autism there's an advantage in that I. just heard that the guy that the Chiefs. that just won the Super Bowl they have a.

guy like that that's worked with the. coach the entire time they call him [ __ ]. I forget what they call him he has a. name he's like the analytics guy they're. like no one knows what his job is Mr. Numbers or listen to him and we trust. whatever he says [ __ ] that's cool it's. pretty cool yeah dude let's talk about. this this special Council report thing. that just came out oh yes that we were. going to do that before we peed yes yeah. special Council report on Biden yeah. so these Afghanistan documents these top. secret Afghanistan documents that were. supposedly held in his garage as you'd.

say uh there's photos of how it was it. was just an open box in the middle of. the garage this wasn't it in his. Corvette or something uh I'm not sure. the photos I've seen are just an open. box with like files in like you just. have lying around here that need to be. cleaned away I think he had one of those. boxes in the backseat of his Corvette. well. or the Corvette yeah there's his. Corvette what that's a Corvette that. doesn't even have a back seat see the. Corvette I guess yeah so he got that's a.

[ __ ] dope Corvette that's like my. year I love that year that's pretty nice. so the classified docks were found in. his garage where his Corvette was so. there's the that's the box right there. that's it yeah just so the what's in. those things I classified Afghanistan. documents I think it was from earlier oh. my God you can read them. garage box after repacking repackaging. January 3rd 2023 so did he forget he had. him so that's the argument and the thing.

that most people are jumping on to do. with this report isn't that it's the. assessment that I think it was her. that's the dude that did it it was the. assessment of his mental state yeah. basically yeah Mr H suggested that Mr. Biden's memory was failing and. questioned some of his actions even. though the special Council had found no. basis to prosecute the president the. issue that he says basically in the. report is if you trying to prosecute. this.

guy Mr Biden would likely present. himself to the jury as he did during our. interview with him which is as a. sympathetic well-meaning elderly man. with a poor memory that's literally what. it says yeah in the report yeah. well-meaning elderly man with a poor. memory so basically you can't prosecute. this guy because he's not Compass menus. but you can let him run for the. president of the United States in. November so that's the that's the world. that we've managed to get into but don't.

don't you think that that's a. ruse him running for president I think. you don't think he's gonna run no no I. think they're going to get rid of him I. think they're going to move him out. they're going to force him to step down. that's what I think if I had a guess and. it's just speculation I'd say they're. setting up Gavin Newsome for it that's. what I say that's what I think that's. what it looks like to me I think they. the more more and more comes out about. this stuff and more and more comes out. about the barisma thing and the Penn.

State thing you know where the Chinese. donated money to Penn State and then you. got a million doll a year gig where he. didn't even have to show up that's old. school that's like Mafia stuff was it a. million dollars a year how much was it. that he got from Penn State and he he. was telling people he's I'm a professor. of Penn State. every there teach one class look at some. of it is part of it fun like if he. wasn't the president it would be really. fun cuz he's like always making stuff up.

calls people the wrong name talks talks. about someone that's dead you know it's. just there's it's constant it was pen. not pen State not pen State excuse me. Penn yeah uh was paid $1 million a year. to teach but never taught a single class. yeah University of Pennsylvania that's. what it is um that is a that's a mob job. you know I had a friend of mine who had. one of those jobs he didn't have to. really go to the javet center like an. honorary he got a g he's a mob guy he. got a gig they yeah he got a gig and. there was like if you had made a union.

negotiation back in the day like we're. talking back in the day day they would. throw in a bunch of no work jobs so no. work jobs were part of the thing just a. little sweetener on top yeah so if. you're a mob guy and you're connected to. some construction company they would. they would find companies that they. would buy into and own pieces of so that. they could kind of funnel their money. out they could say I'm in the. construction business or I'm in the. sanitation business they always had. something that they were attached to but. they had no no show jobs you got real.

money you know got a real [ __ ] salary. a real paycheck every week and you never. did [ __ ] you didn't do a goddamn thing. you never went there you're just a mob. guy I can't help feeling kind of sad. about how difficult it must be to be Joe. Biden like if you're this dude who is I. mean what the [ __ ] are they pumping him. with like he is fun I mean he's having a. great time like first thing in the. morning Mr President come in for your. happy pills or whatever yeah exactly. [ __ ] IV testosterone and cocaine.

right into his system so you think you. know this guy who's holding on as best. he can like trying to get through the. presidency and there's all of this. scrutiny and people are making jokes. about him and he's got the [ __ ] red. his team are like oh let's put a [ __ ]. meme out of him with red eyes after the. Super Bowl and then he's got to deal. with all the rest of that stuff what is. that and then. I it just makes me feel like [ __ ] like. that must be really rough to be that guy. to actually be the human that is Joe. Biden that must be really [ __ ] like I.

don't know you're going to be aware. you're going to be self-aware of the. fact that you're failing that your. mental fac faculties aren't there and. you're like being pushed and just this. RPM is being pushed higher and higher. 8,000 9,000 10 I bet he doesn't do much. I bet the cabinet takes care of. everything I bet the press secretary. makes all the tweets I bet they dope. them up they every now and then they. make him talk and they probably give him. a lot of amphetamines or something they. probably give him something to make I. don't know it's if it's amphetamines I. would imagine if I was your Hitler hit.

model what I was going to do if I if I. had a guy like that and they said Hey. Joe like this guy's like really out of. it you know let's pretend it's not Biden. it's some other guy that has to go and. speak in front of people he's really old. and you know like okay he you know he. could die he could die if you do this. but what I would say is like let's start. banging him up with testosterone. like a good dose like ramp them up. slowly we want to get them up to like. 30y old levels and then uh some kind of. amphetamine and then a big neut Tropic.

stack like a heavy stack theanine you. know acetyl GP Alpha GPC yeah let's. stack [ __ ] and I want like multiple. modalities I want a bunch of different. ones coming out mushroom ones all kinds. of stuff you got we got to do our best. here the adapter gens we got everything. going in there and then we're just I got. to break things down on Q cards I mean. we can do this and that's what they've. done they've definitely done the Q cards. part like there's there's photos of his. Q cards like stand there say brief for. Mark like it's all capital letters you. seen those no he holds on to them and.

then they take pictures of it and then. they zoom in on the picture and they go. look what it says see see if you can. find that Jamie yeah it's like you can't. you shouldn't have like this is his card. the. secret presidential Q cards oh he has Q. cards for staff too that makes sense but. there was a q card that he had that they. were reading while he was on stage where. he was giving some sort of a. presidential address it's like you enter. the Roosevelt room and say hello to. participants you take your seat you give. brief comments all caps with you man I.

feel so bad for him that's amazing it's. amazing well he just can't keep a. thought in his head when he starts. talking about things he forgets what. he's talking about all the time goes. well whatever he just says well whatever. just drifts off someone so he did this. after the report came out he did this. emergency press conference which wasn't. I don't think a particularly good idea. how did it. go I would say suboptimally. uh someone said did he fail to impress.

uh someone asked him um how good is your. memory and he said my memory is so bad I. let you. speak oh. boy like what oh boy sorry what remember. my memory is so good I let you speak. what there's no way that I can repurpose. that quote for it to make sense no. meanwhile the new president of El. Salvador just won with an. 85%.

vote 85% so El Salvador went from having. the highest murder rate in the world to. now the highest incarceration rate in. the world this guy is locking up. everyone they have a brand new 40,000. person prison. that's the size of seven football. stadiums whoa Jamie have a look at this. uh this football stadium thing it is it. is wild what they've done and uh he's.

just he's cleaned up the streets he's. really he's gone super aggressive. there's some dangers of what he's done. which is they're being very. indiscriminate with who gets convicted. uh 12year olds can be I haven't heard if. they are but 12-year-olds can be treated. like adults uh and thrown into the. prison as well you know if they break. down the door and come in this room and. you're a bad guy and me and Jamie are. not bad guys we're probably going to. prison as well so there's a probably a. good bit of collateral damage that's.

come with this but this dude is like. it's insane it's insane what he's been. able to do and yeah. 85% was the uh the vote yeah here we. go wow inside El Salvador's Mega prison. turn the volume on Jamie you'll find. some of El Salvador's most dangerous. gang members packed into massive cells. towers of bunk bits and what looks like. bird. cages it's a source of Pride for.

president n that almost two years ago. declared a war on crime A detention. center the size of seven football. stadiums with capacity to hold 40,000. Prisoners the largest of its kind in. Latin. America known as the center for. terrorism confinement it opened its. doors in 2023 after the government. declared a state of emergency the move. limiting Cil look at the tattoos dude.

look at that t of thousand of G members. wow the director says the detain have to. sleep on hard surfaces to avoid giving. them mattresses that could be used to. hide objects their diet consists of. simple meals that repeat every day. beans rice one hot egg in the. morning wow.

yeah this guy just put the hammer down. that was you know when Duncan trussle um. when we were in La when the George Floyd. bry's hit one of the first things he. says dude we're going to have a. right-wing authoritarian president now. that's going to be the next person like. the next like when this all collapses. the only response to that is people go. hard right they go hard right oh my God. that's. nuts that's.

nuts I think it's MS13 is one of the big. gangs I can't remember what the other. ones called these just if like if you. wanted to oh my God stop this at its. tracks you kind of you're not going to. cure those guys there's like two. bathrooms in each stall or each cell. also and how many people in each people. too bad to to oh my God oh my God you. got to go you got to. go but I. guess if you want to really clean it up.

it's not going to be pretty if you want. to really clean up a very dangerous gang. infested place it's not going to be. pretty you saw Batman that's what he did. right yeah recod like 100 500 people. yeah the. um. the Insight around during a time of. upheaval and uncertainty looking for a. more dominant leader and more. authoritarian leader that has roots in. evolution as well so this is something. that will store talks about which is.

there's multiple roots to status there's. a fewer roots to leadership so there. tends to be two one being dominance and. the other being Prestige so dominance is. the more authoritarian you will do this. because there are negative outcomes if. you don't do this and it's more. overbearing Prestige is uh earning. reputation through being positive some. during times of war and. strife tribes would look for a more. dominant leader because you have threat.

from the outside so you're going to have. someone that's going to be aggressive. they're going to lean in they're going. to try and fix this problem of course. that's going to be who you choose. problem is if you have someone who is a. dominant leader for times of War when it. becomes a time of peace that dominant. leader isn't just going to step aside. they're dominant they're going to hold. on to this power they've usually managed. to embeds they've got siop fants they've. got a a distribution network of people. that can help to enforce their rule. that's the problem that you have but. this has absolutely has its roots.

evolutionarily also what a bizarre way. to run anything to have the guy who runs. it be very vulnerable and only have a. four-year term and then you can only do. two of those fouryear terms and then. people are constantly trying to figure. out a way to manipulate reality of the. world to get their guy past you. including highlevel gaslighting I mean. we've seen some wild gaslighting [ __ ]. past couple of weeks talking about the.

economy there's so much that what was. that. gaslighting well well one of them was. Gavin Newsome talking about how great. Biden was and how what the the Democrats. record that this has been one of the. greatest presidencies ever full stop. it's like hot gas in your face it's. burning your lungs it's just gas. lighting it's gas. lighting you can't have a great economy. if you're spending hundreds of billions. of dollars financing Wars overseas it's. not even possible you're going to have.

inflation you're G to have a what you do. how'd you get all that money where' you. get another 95 billion that you passed. in the middle of the night like what is. where's all that going who's paying it. back yeah I mean that's a lot of money I. often think about the the guys that are. um staples of the government not the. people that are part of the presid say. it the Deep State the Deep State them. yes the people that are in charge we all. know who we mean uh yeah Taylor.

Swift is that that is a hilarious. [ __ ] Theory I love I love the. conspiracy theories around but did you. see that the there was actually like a. conversation that was had about it was. what was the actual roots of it there's. an actual video where they talk about it. and like God it's like 2017 or something. like that they talk about using a a. really popular. uh person like Taylor Swift is like an. asset the Taylor Swift and Travis Kel's. relationship is a deep state scop to be.

able to Wild I love that conspiracy it's. a wild conspiracy but the because the. problem with the conspiracy is they're. saying this is why Taylor Swift is so. big like no no you got to see how. 15-year-old like I have a 15-year-old. daughter when they're around like Taylor. Swift songs they all scream they go nuts. they love it they actually that's not a. off she speaks to them it's not a scop. she's super talented [ __ ] driven as. hell writes her own songs like she. speaks to them you know I don't know. what's a great the the whole thing is. you know it's wild it's wild to watch a.

new Michael Jackson because that's kind. of what it is that's a good point I mean. how many times I would love to know how. many times the Super Bowl cut to. huh I saw someone win a bet that was. like over 15 or something like that. there was an over under on the number of. cuts to Taylor Swift let's go one of. them she chugged a beer one of them chug. a beer and slamed it down w a bet. because he bet on the Streaker bet and. then he he was he the streer yeah that's. what he said that's oh my God that's a.

well if they don't. specify that's a good move if they don't. specify that you I mean look a Deal's a. deal that is a 200 IQ move the only. other 200 IQ move that I've seen. recently there's a new type of sexual. Kink which is called solo poly solo so. polyamorous but solo so [ __ ] boys have. rebranded themselves as solo. poly okay that is a 3,000 IQ move don't. kink shame me I'm not sleeping around.

I'm solo poly solo polyamor means. someone who has multiple intimate. relationships with people but has an. independent or single. lifestyle they may not live with. Partners share uh finances or have a. desire to reach traditional relationship. Milestones which Partners lives become. more intertwined hm well I think that. seems to make sense with all the dating. apps today and all the Instagram DMS and. all the people just there's so many more. options people have today it makes sense.

that more people would agree to. polyamorous interactions they want to. hedge their bets it's a weird time to be. a young person like imagine you like. just getting out of high school just. getting into college now and you're. entering into the Romantic Workforce. good luck the meat grinder good luck. yeah good luck it's crazy out there. crazy the percentage of people that say. they're not looking for uh casual or. long-term relationships is at an. all-time high it's really really scary.

as our country music sailes there's like. a swing in the other direction too what. do you mean country more people like. like we got to get to a simpler life. there's more people listen to country. music now than I think ever before right. so they they're there's a reaction to. that like I don't want to do this. they're finding Solitude from a. confusing World in Luke kum's songs yeah. the guy never tweet like sing about. tweets you know right yes [ __ ] hell. well I saw a um f jelly roll was on the.

uh Super Bowl commercial that was pretty. cool to see him and then Shane Gillis. managed to pop half of his face in when. the camera panned in on like the Bud. Light balcony or whatever it was called. yeah Shane Gillis is now a spokesperson. for Bud Light and we kind of manifested. it on the podcast cuz we were talking. about it so many times like why wouldn't. they use you they're [ __ ] smart he. was one of the funniest guys alive who a. legitimate Bud Light Drinker he never. stopped even during the controversy he. never sto the first couple of shows he. did afterwards he wouldn't bring cans on.

stage he poured into a glass because he. didn't want anybody to hear it he's. still drinking butd light and then on. the podcast we just like you going to. drink Bud Light out in the open he like. [ __ ] yeah dude when you find your beer. you find your beer well with Shane. that's the case it was just a match made. in heaven like it's smart it's the right. time where they could take a chance on a. wild dude like that what a turnaround. man I mean I I'd said this at the time I. thought it was interesting that um a lot. of people whose common talking point was. uh don't judge someone just based on one.

misdeed that they do based on one um uh. misspoken thing about some new social. campaign or whatever it might be didn't. seem to extend the same kind of leeway. to Bud Light now I don't know no weird. right I don't know how deep that ran. there's someone that says it was a. marketing intern there was another that. says it went right to the top and you. know they were this was this shows that. budlight were the the lib cooks that. we've always knew known that they were. I'm like I don't know but if it wasn't.

infused into the company what you're. doing is taking a very isolated incident. and using that as the canary and the. coal mine to say see they're part of the. deep State it's it's they're taking over. they're doing the whatever well sort of. it was it was not one thing it was two. things that that that combined together. so the one thing was the Dylan mulany uh. picture on the beer can that drove. people nuts but then there was the video. of the woman who was in charge who was.

explaining that they had to rework the. image of the brand and that it was a uh. fratty sort of like broey I forget the. words she used but it was a juvenile she. was trying to literally but it's. literally you're talking about your. entire customer base so she's deciding. the customer base should now be trans or. the customer base I mean literally I. mean she's literally deciding she's. going to make the customer base gay it's. going to be friendly to the lbgt. community it's going to be sponsoring.

floats on pride parade and that's what. they did like you under her guidance she. was like I'm going to fix this we're. going to make it just like I believe the. world is coming from universities that. are hyper liberal into a community where. you're in a you know Corporation that's. also subject to all those Dei M. restrictions and you think this is like. the way of the world today and then you. do that one thing and then they catch. you on video saying all those things. about the customers and then the cig Kid.

Rock shoots your. beer when Kid Rock shoots your beer. that's a WAP [ __ ] game over until you. get Shane Gillis yeah Shane Gillis and. and then you sponsor the UFC like it'll. it'll turn back around now oh it can. turn back around Shane Gillis on stage. with Zack Bryan oh [ __ ] that's amazing. when was this at the Super Bowl they had. a big party in Vegas did he sing yeah I. mean it's the Rev I don't know if which. s is he singing all night Revival yeah. oh that's.

[Music]. [Laughter]. incred put Johnny on the. vinl the whole crowd sings along to that. I went to see Zach when he was out here. and they did that he tried to get me to. sing I'm like [ __ ] you tell out there I. don't want I just I don't want any. attention someone in the face yeah I. want to enjoy the show but it was. [ __ ] amazing show man he's so. talented where was that that was out.

here it was like the twostep festival in. yeah where was that Georgetown I think. so yeah not not far from here I learned. from Schulz this interesting thing that. I I called schulz's razor which is it's. not coordination it's cowardice from the. outside things look like a coordinated. attack from the inside it looks like. people not trying to lose their jobs MH. so I think a lot of the presumption is. that there is some grand plan some Grand. maybe it's a conspiracy or maybe it's.

just. coordination what it is from the inside. is this guy has just bought a new house. that his wife wanted and his kids go to. private school and he needs to keep this. job man and the thing that is currently. being pushed at the moment is okay we. need to we need to go along with this. new campaign sure let's just do this. thing that to me is a much more I hope. that it's true the reason I hope it's. true is it's a much more reassuring way. for the world to be a lot of these. incidents because what it shows is that.

people are just responding to incentives. and if you can change the incentives if. you can change the social structure of. this stuff you can quite easily change. Behavior if it's coordination as opposed. to cowardice that's much more difficult. if everyone's actually B into this and. they're part of some deep state. conspiracy and it's all scopy and all of. this stuff that that you go oh this is. completely out of my control now and. that that's much more scary but I think. on balance based on the stuff that I see. I think that Andrew is right I think.

that it is more likely to be cowardice. than. coordination yeah I think there's. definitely both elements I think spec. specifically with some issues there's uh. there's coordination online and one of. the ways they do that is through Bots. they do that through social media. campaigns that are like fake accounts or. hired accounts there's that too that. that does shift the narrative in a. certain direction but there's a lot of. people that are terrified that they're. going to get fired and there's a lot of. people that are terrified they're going.

to get labeled or ostracized or kicked. out of the social community so much so. they're willing to go along with really. ridiculous stuff because they think like. that's where the tide of progress is now. this is where the world is and you know. you're you're seeing both things happen. you're seeing cowardice and you're also. seeing coordination just it's not it's. kind of naive to think that if you were. a world power that is doing everything. you can to sort of like balance things. in your favor. including launching spy satellites.

establishing a space force ramping up. your nuclear capabilities developing. these weapons that [ __ ] shred people. with precise impact for sure you're. going to do whatever you can to change. the way uh a society views things and to. to influence things in a particular. direction he'd be a fool not to I mean. if that's what other countries are doing. you'd be a fool not to do that you'd be. a fool not to do it internationally. you'd be a fool not to do it locally. it's kind of the job of the person.

that's the evil [ __ ] that's you know. running the world like that's part of. the gig part of the gig is if you want. to lie to people about the economy you. want to gaslighting about the record of. the president and gaslighting about the. IM immigration crisis and gasl them. about how much money we're spending on. these overseas Wars you had gasl them. online too you wouldn't just have the. [ __ ] White House Press Secretary lie. and make [ __ ] up you would have a bunch. of people doing it all over the Internet. you'd have a bunch of Articles written. that are just ridiculous and then people.

would retweet them yeah his age really. is his. superpower yeah man Seth McFarland. retweeted that and said this is a. million Brave crazy so so brilliant that. they did this I can't I can't what did. he say Seth M stunning and brave it. wasn't stunning and brave no he didn't. say like that he's a funny guy but he. said something like this is put written. better than I could have written it but. exactly my sentiments I was like this is. so crazy you're talking about a guy who. can't speak we all know you're doing. this you're gaslighting and you're doing.

it because you think that this is the. good side and the bad side is bad and. you you do whatever you can to change. the way people view things and so you. have these people that are doing it for. virtue signaling they're doing it to. signal to the tribe that they're a. strong dominant member of this tribe and. they even they're fighting for you yeah. there's something that I've been. rattling around in my brain for some. time and Bill MCB bidden finally. articulated here better than I ever. could it's worth a read from start to. finish opin opinion age matters which is.

why Biden's age is his superpower come. on that actually sounds like a Family. Guy sketch 100% well definitely a South. Park sketch it's crazy to say but if. you're that guy and you know you're. signaling to the tribe and you wanted. everybody like a rational person who is. a left Progressive person would say we. have to figure this out this is bad this. is bad you can't just pretend it's good. the whole other side sees how bad it is.

the world sees how bad people in quiet. say how bad it is most people in hush. and we alone having dinner you're like. what the [ __ ] do we do yeah like Trump's. going to win with this guy yep I don't. think no matter who wins in November I. don't think that either side is going to. accept the outcome no way not anymore I. think that that I think we saw or one. two elections ago the final accepted and. even that wasn't right that was no. there's Russia collusion and all the. rest of it and then how much are we. going to see of organized violence how.

much are we going to see of organized. protesters organized protesters are real. thing funded protesters are a real thing. you did that stuff turn out to be real. about the piles of bricks the piles of. bricks yes yes during the George Floyd. riots yeah during the George Floyd riots. there was and some of them they. attributed to different things some of. them they said it just it was a. construction site that was nearby was. just coincidence some of that I'm sure. is true but the people that I talked to. that said that no stacks of bricks would. just show up on their block like what.

the net result of all of this I think is. people just feeling very uncertain about. the future I don't think that anyone's. really convinced of any one narrative at. the moment but everybody is just. uncertain and anxious there's some. really interesting surveys showing that. the number of Americans that say I uh do. not fully feel in control of my life. just continues to go up there's very. much a externalized uh sense of agency. you know it's I I don't happen to the.

world the world happens to me I'm. skeptical about a lot of these things. it's basically a soup for ambient. anxiety you're just causing people to be. uncertain about stuff and I don't know. I if you were trying to make people just. feel more and more and more shitty all. that they're doing is spending time. inside on their phones they're watching. porn they don't have as many friends the. number of men in 1990 that had uh one or. more close friends was that sorry that.

had zero close friends was 3% in 2020 it. was 15% so it 5x from 1990 to 2020 so. people are more isolated than ever. before it doesn't surprise me that. people feel despondent or nihilistic or. fatalistic or uncertain or it's not good. and then they're being manipulated. correct on top of that so you're already. vulnerable You're already scared and. when you have more of an isolation from. Community you're more likely to get. sucked into subgroups you're more likely.

to get sucked into Echo Chambers because. like finally you have some people that. are connecting with you you don't have. any connection it's like part of this. little social dance you're doing you. remember that we were talking about um. whe How you work out whether someone is. telling the truth or not this. interesting sort of set of questions. that I think people can ask M themselves. which is when was the last time that. this person I am friends with or whose. content I consume on the internet when. was the last time that their opinion. surprised me when was the last time that.

they gave a take and I was like huh I. might not agree with it but that's not. what I would have predicted had I have. known them something occurs and their. response is different uh when was the. last time that they publicly ad admitted. that they were wrong about something. also really good uh um. difficult to fake signal of authenticity. uh when was the last time that they. brought someone on or had a conversation. with something that they don't agree. with or someone that they don't agree.

with for a reason other than just. mocking them but to genuinely understand. what it is that they're doing and then. the fourth question is do they bind. their group together over the mutual. hatred of an out group or the mutual. love of an in group is it because of. othering or is it because of using and I. think othering is always that's the. scapegoating it's not about them they're. coming for us it's this sort of anxiety. fueled thing but if you know one of. someone's opinions and from it you can. accurately predict everything else that. they believe they're not a serious.

thinker right that's that that that is a. a a Hallmark of bad independent. political journalism it's like ripe with. othering it's ripe with casting the. blame on the other side it's ripe with. not looking internally it's 's very. little introspection thought maybe I'm. wrong it's always coming from a position. of confidence that these other people. are pieces of [ __ ] and we're going to. lay out some outof context examples with.

no context into why they think they. think this and what what could steel man. that and how could how can we look at it. from their perspective and what's wrong. about it no it's every everything is. always like highlighting what's wrong. highlighting the cruelty gaslighting and. they're doing it because they're a part. of an ideology they're they're part of a. political group they're part of this. little gang and they want they want the. love of the gang you know and there's. people that fancy themselves as like. Hitman for the gang you know they're. going to go out there and there's a lot. of that during the the um the black.

lives matters uh riots in um was it was. it Portland or wherever it was or was it. like literally like crazy violent people. they're just wild antifa dudes that got. lumped into these serious conversations. about what's ethical what's not ethical. in terms of like what should be done. about police brutality and just psychos. got involved in it with guns you know. there's this one guy he wind up getting. killed he killed some guy but he just.

killed someone who's on the other side. just decided I'm going to go kill. somebody and you you you can have that. and if you just have that thing that. happened in Seattle where they had that. whole section of the city that was. closed down the police police just gave. it up just gave it up you guys have this. they took over the police station took. over buildings and they they ran it for. quite a while with all sorts of chaos. going on there I think they starved. after a while they ran out of like. sanitation and water and food and they. tried to grow a a vegetable patch and.

then they they had the mayor on. television saying that maybe it was a. summer of love like what are you talking. about this is but all these things just. highlight how uncertain people genuinely. feel today because we know those things. took place just in really recent time. and that was just the tip of the iceberg. it was just a a minor thing in terms of. I mean it was a major thing in terms of. the world the impact of coron virus but. it wasn't like Airborne Ebola you know.

it wasn't like something that's going to. kill everybody like what what would. break down that we we broke down for a. disease that killed a very small. fraction of people and those people. almost all of them had four plus. comorbidities almost all of them was. like in the high. 90% wasn't it was like 94% or something. like that of people people that died. from Co had four plus comorbidities. Jesus I didn't know that it's something. nutty like that it was mostly people. that are obese diabetic. unhealthy it's a big predisposition yeah.

and imagine everything went fat [ __ ]. Haywire for something like that it was. wild dude I mean to live to have lived. through that it feels like a fever dream. fever dream to think about that like. that really happened like it's going to. be weird you know we're going to be. talking to our grandkids and they're. going to be like Grandad CDC studies. said over 75% of covid-19 deaths in. vaccinated people were amongst those. with at least four four comorbidities.

that's vaccinated people and this is. from. 2022 what I had read was people that got. covid before the vaccine and they were. talking about they were trying to figure. out who's dying and why and one of them. a big one was ventilated people. apparently that was a big mistake that. they made that was uh something that uh. they learned when they went to I think. Elon Musk talked about this when he went. to China like what was the biggest. mistake that they made during the. pandemic they put people on ventilators. apparently that [ __ ] you up and some. some high number of people like 80% or.

something like that people who got put. on ventilators died as opposed to most. of the people that get it it's not it's. not that. high especially amongst healthy people. and definitely not amongst children it's. very low amongst children so when they. did that it was just like what are you. doing you're just putting people on. ventilators and they didn't know they. thought they had to do it and then you. know and then the vaccine comes along. and when you find out that 75% of the. people who died from covid have four. comorbidities well that's the problem.

that's the problem comorbidities mean. you're. dying that's the problem but think about. how much Society collapsed for that. thing not good obviously CO's not good. obviously a tragedy definitely. sympathetic to anybody who lost someone. but also that was. in terms of what could happen to the. world a fairly small event in terms of. what could happen like a war like a. nuclear war with Russia evenity of a.

different pathogen yes severity of a. different pathogen um solar flares take. out the power grid so this feeling of. anxiety like oh my God this is not that. stable that's a valid feeling it's a. valid feeling because it went so Haywire. just for this one thing that most people. wind up getting I think I think it. pulled the veil off of a lot of people's. eyes that we are in control right that. we have mastered nature yes uh you know. it's been so long since there's been a. fullscale kinetic uh war between two.

countries that right the people in. charge are a part of it's been so long. since that's happened and I think. there's this sense we've kind of. outgrown that yeah we we're beyond that. the the 1940s you know that was that was. the last dying gasps of this sort of. brutal tribal Prim. version of humanity we're beyond that. we've ascended look we we can control. the weather in Dubai they seed the. clouds we can communicate to each other. instantly across the internet we can. have video calls we've conquered many of.

the diseases that were going to stop us. previously all of these things like how. sophisticated we are we have also. overcome our. nature no yeah no we haven't and look. what happens our grandkids will speak to. us and go like Grandad what was it like. during 2020 tell us tell us what was it. like you have to say [ __ ] mental yeah. absolutely [ __ ] mental and I lived. through it we all lived through it and. it blows my mind and this is the thing.

with this this ambient anxiety that. people. have I think it causes them not only to. be uncertain outwardly toward the world. but it it's uncertain inward as well so. my friend did a mushroom trip and this. question came to him which I [ __ ]. love he said does the world love you for. who you are or for what you do. o does the world love you for who you. are or for what you do isn't a more.

profound question that you're assuming. the world loves. you like why are you assuming the world. loves you well does the hate does the. world hate you for who you are or for. what you do but it's an interesting. question like it phrased it in a weird. way it's almost like a trick question. it's almost like if I ask you do your. mother know you're gay. that's dude let me teach you about this. so that's called a mgrm question there's. a there's a name for this I learned. about it it's called a mgrm question. after the mgrm experiments where they. shocked people oh so a mgrm question is.

where any truthful response is so. socially cancerous that it's impossible. to give a real response it forces you to. comply the ultimate mgrm question would. be when did you stop beating your. wife you're. like yeah there's no another one would. be uh what makes a woman attractive oh. because the socially acceptable answer. to that is one that is untruthful and. the problem with this is what is a.

socially acceptable answer to that it. would be to do with it's about Grace and. Poise you know it's anything that isn't. big titties like if you say if you say. big titties right that's you failed. right you can't say big titties you. can't say ni you're single you can't if. you are worried about acquiring a mate. you can't if you are of a social Dynamic. that needs to have your job and you have. a human resources Center that's very. stringent they're very strict about what. they allow their people to it might.

affect your possibility of getting a. promotion might affect your standing. amongst the women in the office you know. they don't like when you tell the truth. Chris you work with women you can't say. I think women with big asses and big. tits are hot as [ __ ] you can't say that. you can't say that even though they know. that it's true yeah you can't be a good. person you can't be a good person and. even admit that that's what I'm. attracted. to when which is which is odd when. punishment for what people say becomes.

widespread people will stop saying what. they think and instead say whatever is. needed to thrive right and this is why. limits on speech become limits on. sincerity because I'm not going to. change your opinion right do you really. think that by telling me that I can't. say a thing that I'm not going to think. the thing right I'm just not going to. say the thing and think the thing in. private right right so limits on speech. become limits on sincerity yeah and this. is the issue with the the mgrm question.

it's the issue with this circular Purity. spiral of the firing squads online we. were talking about it before this sort. of toxic compassion thing this. prioritization of short-term emotional. comfort of everybody especially. dispossessed groups over everything. truth long-term flourishing everything. so perfect example of this would be uh. body weight has no bearing on health or. lifespan outcomes because you don't want. to make people who are overweight feel. uncomfortable right even if your message.

of you're healthy as you are you're. living your true self even if that. message causes those very people to. actually die. sooner the short-term emotional Comfort. prioritization sweeps everything to one. side it sweeps rationality it sweeps. long-term outcomes all of that stuff. another one would be uh there is no. advantage or benefit to children growing. up in a two parent. household right even if that causes. teachers and parents to misunderstand.

why their kids that may come from broken. homes behave in the way that they. do you don't want to do something or say. something that disparages hardworking. single mothers so instead you do the. toxic compassion thing which is the. prioritization of short-term emotional. Comfort over long-term flourishing. and you see this everywhere this is this. performative empathy toxic compassion. thing the reason I think it's so. prevalent online is it's perfectly. geared to be mimetically driven right.

all that's happening like if you have. some harsh truth. tweet some people are going to push it. and it it may catch fire if it's a real. truth but a lot of the people that are. don't want to hear that they're not. they're going to say that you're being. judgmental that you're being. misogynistic homophobic xenophobic. whatever it is right but if you say. something which is comforting like we. need to push back against these white. men like everyone can get behind that. because it seems empathetic it's one of.

the problems that anyone who isn't a. like hardcore card carrying liberal has. on the internet at the moment which is. if you're not prepared to if you're if. you're going to tell people things that. they don't want to hear you're going to. come across like a bit of a dick for. quite a lot of the things that you talk. about and that's not particularly good. but yeah this uncertainty this. like do people love you for who you are. or for what you do I think is a really. interesting question to ask ourselves. because it's that success and happiness.

thing again are you trying to achieve. happiness through success are you trying. to make the world love you to force it. by promising your value by promising. your validation by saying look I must do. this but the interesting thing and this. was like the second half of his mushroom. trip was. he asked himself do I love me for who I. am or for what I. do so I'm asking the world to love me. for who I am because if the World Loves.

Me contingent on what I do then it feels. more fragile it feels like it can be. taken away from me right if I stopped. doing what I do my love would also cease. well that's a real problem with uh guys. that are in the. closet especially guys in the closet and. show business also so because they think. the world loves them but the world loves. them for a a thing that they're not. really they're hiding their true self. and they're terrified the world will. withdraw its love if they tell the truth.

if they change yeah if they come out. they come out and come out of the closet. and said hey I've been gay the whole. time if you're an actor it's a death. sentence because you cannot play. straight male roles anymore when was the. last time a guy came out of the closet. because was a leading man and a major. Blockbuster movie it's never happened. it's not going to happen that's a really. good point yeah it's the one area where. homophobia is sort of. guaranteed Leading Men playing straight. men in movies you do want you do not.

want to see it nobody wants to see. it doesn't happen that's [ __ ] that's. broken my brain no that's really that's. really interesting yeah there's the one. guy the Doogie Hower Guy what's his name. NE Patrick Harris Neil Patrick Harris he. played like in a sitcom but it was like. a cartoon version of a straight man was. wasn't nobody believed it Kevin spacy Uh. Kevin spacy was in the closet he was in. the closet for a long time I mean he. came out of the closet when he got. accused remember that's really when he.

came out of the closet everybody kind of. knew he was gay people that work with. him certainly knew he was gay but I. think publicly it wasn't it wasn't. something that he acknowledged but it's. a thing where and and he's an older man. too it's a different sort of thing you. know but if you're a young handsome. movie star Daniel Craig type character. people find out you're gay like no one. wants you making out with that girl. anymore I don't buy it you know yeah. it's interesting yeah it's interesting. because it's that so I would imagine.

that if you are one of those people that. and I I know a couple of guys that are. in the closet and I've encouraged one of. them is a friend of mine to try to come. out um not a good friend I don't he. lives back in LA but he wanted to and. then he would not and then he' want to. and then he would not I go what if you. ever do you know people still love you. man I swear to God it's not it's all. your head just just don't it it'll it'll. be a huge weight relieved off you and. you realize how much people just love. you they don't care no one really cares. especially in the comedy World God the. comedy world is so open-minded like.

there one thing are you funny everything. else is just nonsense like it doesn't. matter where you come from what part of. the world are you good are you funny if. you make people laugh then you win and. can you hang be cool to hang out with. are you just like a psycho that only. wants to be the only one that's funny. and you hate everybody else who funny. there just's a few of those guys out. there too yeah well that's one of the. interesting challenges I think that no. one really ever gets to see about the. gamesmanship that goes on behind the. scenes like no one knows about how easy. Alan richson from the new Reacher movie.

or guy Richie or someone else like no. one knows about how easy they are to. work with but you know like there'll be. guys that have been on your show or been. on my show or whatever you're like I. actually quite enjoyed the episode I. find them very difficult to deal with. like they're really difficult to deal. with outside of that and. just they're at the disadvantage if. they're not very personable if they're. not really uh if they don't. respond in a timely manner whatever like. they don't understand the Dynamics are. imbalanced between a famous person and.

person trying to talk to the famous. person absolutely all of these things. right and you're like well that puts you. at a disadvantage but that's not. anything that's ever going to be front. front of house right and uh you know you. saw this with a number of the Late Night. show hosts recently that kind of. the tide came back in and who was. swimming naked or swimming with a whip. in their hand or you know being mean to. the people that they worked with that. kind of got shown and this again it's. that toxic compassion thing and this. comes full circle to what we were. talking about you were saying um a lot.

of people assume kind of the the worst. of intentions he's he's a little morsel. of something oh that's the [ __ ] that. that's them being a really bad person. yeah I think that that's because deep. down a lot of the people doing the. performative empathy toxic compassion. thing know that they're projecting a lie. they know that they aren't being. truthful that if someone did open the. cupboard and have a look inside that. it's full of disgusting scary lies and. and and fakery and Persona and all this.

stuff so they assume that theory of mind. for everybody else as well right they. can't imagine a world in which this. slight slip up by somebody couldn't be. indicative of their entire personality. because they themselves know that this. super cutesy sweet. toxic compassion performative empathy. front is just that that if you poked it. hard enough there would be a hole and. you'd find out that it was hollow. inside I yeah I. think I think obviously all that is.

accentuated by social media and. unfortunately when I really extrapolate. when I really like look forward I think. this the way out of this is mind reading. this is where I'm really concerned with. I'm really concerned with um the way out. of this being some sort of new level of. integration that we're all going to. enjoy because of Technology neuralink. type stuff mhm yeah and that that would. be really a solution to all that ails Us. in terms of it would it would be like. Snap map times a billion it would be.

crazy everyone would know everything. about everybody's thoughts but then it. would be that thing like hey what do you. got to hide you know there's going to be. a lot of dummies that are going to go. along with that but you're going to find. out how [ __ ] insane a lot of people. are too if you can actually look into. their mind and see the wiring well I bet. that the people who are out front. the most empathetic kind loving caring. people they are going to be they would. be first on my list for get inside that. guy's mind yeah have a look at what he's. doing because I think that he's probably.

a piece of [ __ ] he might be yeah well. anyone that's working that hard to be. like look at how nice I am look at how. completely you know unfettered snow. completely untouched all of this stuff I. I'm always like the male feminists or. like some of the big [ __ ] [ __ ] hell. have you been observing or have you been. seeing this skew of young boys to the. right and young girls to the left in. terms of their. political uh perspective dude I think I. think that will be the story of 2024 I. think that's the story of this year this.

huge breaking of young genz males. teenage boys mostly to the right and of. girls really sharply to the left yeah. you know what's going to change that an. actual Hot War everybody will go right. over right back over long as yeah when. the ladies need they need men to take. care of them and that the men that have. joined their side are all cowards and. they're going to cry yeah yeah they go. they go to the other side quick there's. a lot of news stories at the moment.

about uh left leaning girls struggling. to find a guy that they're attracted to. like you know none of the guys that I'm. dating want to hold the door open for me. and none of them really want to pay for. dinner and he's got that that's called a. conservative yeah like that's called. someone who's rightwing yeah you're. looking for all your cake and you want. to eat it too yeah but because people. date within their political sphere M. typically it's not just a political. crisis it's a mating crisis as well you. know I think one Behavior crisis. onethird of democrat parents say that.

they would be afraid of their son or. daughter dating a republican wow so. you've got this assortative mating thing. but going forward into the political. cycle this year I think that you're. going to. see not only is it a political war but. it's a gender War too it's going to be a. lot of fun for us buddy we're going to. have lots to talk about have lots to. talk about it's going to be like we have. what a harvest we have coming up like. we're Farmers if we were growing. pumpkins it's a banner year buddy look. at those [ __ ] pumpkins what a year.
