Video summary
The hosts begin by reflecting on their military backgrounds and the rigorous realities of Navy SEAL selection, clarifying that while physical height requirements are nonexistent, the mental endurance needed to overcome extreme fatigue and obstacles like climbing thirty-foot ropes repeatedly is the true barrier. They discuss the age limit for enlistment around thirty-one and contrast modern military hazing with historical tribal rites, emphasizing that high-aggression individuals require proper outlets like combat sports to prevent destructive civilian behavior. The conversation also touches upon the unique roles within the Navy, such as Belgian Malinois dogs used for agility and mine detection, while expressing skepticism about weaponized marine mammals beyond dolphins used for non-offensive tasks like equipment recovery.
Transitioning to personal struggles with substance use, Jeff Dye shares his journey from alcoholism to sobriety after a series of legal issues and accidents forced him to quit cold turkey, a process he warns can be fatal without medical supervision. He details how he replaced drinking with exercise and cigar smoking, noting the social stigma he faced during his wife's labor when hospital staff dismissed his concerns about their dogs, as well as the awkwardness of sober dating compared to the ease of meeting people while intoxicated. The group also critiques reality television shows like *Love on the Spectrum* for exploiting individuals with autism in high-pressure scenarios and discusses the complexities of modern dating in Los Angeles, where social fatigue and app-driven interactions often discourage casual relationships.
The dialogue further explores the ethical gray areas surrounding performance enhancement and medical interventions within the military, acknowledging that soldiers suffering from traumatic brain injuries or chronic stress sometimes require testosterone replacement therapy or stimulants to maintain function in high-stakes environments. While they argue that survival and national security may justify using whatever means necessary in combat, they caution against long-term health destruction and emphasize the importance of proper integration when using psychedelics for PTSD treatment. This discussion is grounded in powerful anecdotes of camaraderie, such as a deployment to Ramadi where nearly every soldier immediately volunteered to be reassigned to a dangerous zone with terrible living conditions, demonstrating an extreme level of commitment that transcends individual safety.
Finally, the hosts address broader geopolitical and legal topics, debunking sensationalist myths about weapon usage in combat and clarifying veteran benefits like priority boarding and VA loans. They reflect on the radical shift caused by 9/11 compared to Pearl Harbor, sharing stories of narrow escapes involving celebrities like Michael Jackson, while also analyzing modern warfare tactics seen in the Ukraine-Russia conflict where drones controlled via fiber optics have replaced radio-frequency systems. The segment concludes with a look at the evolving landscape of synthetic cannabinoids and CBD legislation, highlighting how laws struggle to keep pace with new chemical compounds, before promoting their upcoming movie adaptation of *Way of the Warrior Kid*, which aims to reach all age groups as a global release on Apple TV+.

Did you guys ever consider a career in
the military?
>> I I remember I was in graduate school
when I would get the reserve emails and
I really thought I was like damn 20
grand right now. And I was like I can't
I remember my wife's like, "Dude, anyone
I talked to was like you're going to
hate it. Don't you can't just go away."
I'm like, "It's just the weekends." And
they're like, "Yeah, every weekend for
like what, four years?" And I was like
on the brink. And then they were like,
"Dude." And I was like, "Yeah, I'm not
doing that." So
>> I've never considered it ever. Ever. Not
even once.
>> You could have done a career in comedy.
I don't know. This could have been a We
could have found out that everyone's
original life plans had crossed over.
>> I wish I would have done it. I could
have used some structure, some
discipline, some uh older male
influence. I could have used some
everything that the military teaches,
I think I needed and would have been
great, but because nobody was giving me
the discipline to go, "Hey, you should
go do that." I didn't do it, you know?
>> Yeah.
>> You didn't even have the discipline to
start becoming disciplined.
>> Yeah. When you grow up like me, dude, on
the mean streets, you know, it's either
gang life or basketball.
And I chose No, that's not real.
>> I I remember. Do you know what it was? I
remember they repealed don't ask don't
tell. And I was like, "All right, I
can't I can't join."
>> What's that?
>> It was if you're gay, you're not
supposed to ask someone if they're gay.
Now I think you're like allowed to ask.
I don't know what even happened with
that.
>> I think you ask for their papers.
>> This is your area of expertise. Chuck,
what happened?
>> There was a time where are you a gay
citizen?
>> Yeah, you could you couldn't if you were
gay in the military, you couldn't say
anything. So, it was they weren't
allowed to ask you, but that but you
weren't allowed to tell anybody.
>> But could you [ __ ] Jo?
>> Who cares about telling people you're
gay? I know that's all these college
kids.
>> I'm pretty sure you could. Yeah.
Thousand guys. I can't confirm that
myself personally. So,
>> good night to confirm. No.
>> You just put in your ear plugs in the
bunks like these guys.
>> Just statistically, if you have a
thousand guys in one boat,
>> that's going to happen.
>> That's part of one of those guys.
>> You just got to be first, you know, and
if they're going to get me.
>> Well, I mean, you know, it doesn't have
to be like that, man.
>> Oh, I didn't know. God damn,
>> man. I didn't know where we were headed.
Is there a height limit in the seals? I
have to like if someone's taller, right?
Like you're what 6'4 a.m.?
>> Yeah. Like you get like 6 67. There's
just more of you to hit.
>> I don't think there's a height limit
because there's a guy that I think is 67
or 6'8, something like that. Seal.
>> What's the shortest guy in the Seals? I
know no woman has ever cracked it.
>> I want to say 53.
>> Oh my god. That's a bad dude though. 5'3
and still did it.
>> No women. Did you guys know that?
>> In the Seals. There's never been a woman
named
>> Not yet.
>> That says you, dude.
>> Well, there's that French WBA player
that
>> she wouldn't make it.
>> That's what the current transat Have you
seen this guy girl that's in?
>> Yeah, she's going viral all week. She's
having a good week. She's probably real
happy about all this WNBA kurfuffle.
>> Yeah. Do you know the story? Can you
explain?
>> Every video has popped up. There's just
a trans Yeah.
>> It's a It's a biological male that
transitioned into a woman who's playing
in a professional women's basketball
league in France. And because the Sophie
Cunningham and all the issues in the
last few weeks with the XXXY kind of
campaign drumming up all this trans
talk, uh they're like, "Well, let this
lady play. Draft her over there and
watch how inclusive they'll be." But
everybody's just showing videos of this
like muscular. I mean, she's jacked.
>> Really? She's almost like a guy.
>> I mean, I'm for it. I would I think it's
time. The WNBA
>> WNBA is turned into It's a drama now.
It's like race. It's like racial kind of
tension. throw that on top of
>> sexual orientation. Apparently, all of
the the straight chicks get bullied and
stuff in the uh locker room. Can you
tell me this? Like all of the Yeah, it's
like inverse homophobia,
>> bro. How pissed are they going to be
when the first
>> when the first trans WNBA player is
straight and white, they're going to be
pissed
>> and French.
>> Do you know what I'm saying? Cuz she's
trans, but And they're going to go,
"Look how inclusive we are, but she's
still straight and white."
>> I kind of want to turn the WNBA into
like the XFL. I think we should just
make it like even what's XFL.
>> XFL was when Vince McMahon tried to like
start his own football thing, but it was
like
>> it was just chaos. It was like NFL
Blitz. Like you could have a guy on the
sideline who at any time could just run
in and hit somebody catches
>> and then he was like I was like we're
going to put cameras in the women's
locker room and we're like what women?
That's football. What? Like it was
>> that was just he was just thinking of a
WWE internal memo.
>> Okay.
>> Literally that was the thing. The guy
that did WWE tried to make a football
league
>> and it went
>> badly.
>> Yeah.
>> One season I remember the one their
jerseys the names one guys was like he
hate me.
>> Yeah. They got to wear nicknames on the
jersey. I like that.
>> That was cool.
>> Yeah. It was like a spectacular failure.
He tried to I think for maybe one year
and it just didn't didn't work out.
>> They brought it back. They brought it
back like years later. It's did also
bad.
>> Yeah.
>> Sorry. Bless you.
>> I've done this a lot, guys. I'm very
professional at this.
sneezing, interrupting. I'm sorry.
>> What do you think about this stuff, Jo?
>> It's interesting to listen to.
>> It's like a day carry stumbled upon.
>> I'll be honest, at first I was I was
WNBA hater. Now it's like it's exciting.
I like I love the drama. Now you're
telling me that you're you got some more
another dimension of the dramas coming
in. It's like, yeah, this is
>> Well, if they do it, I'll watch it then.
If they start putting in some uh some
trans athletes, I'll watch that, I
guess, for a minute to see if it changes
anything.
>> I think it will. Like there's a pro
girls baseball league right now. It's
like a softball thing. I've been
watching that and it's been fantastic.
>> But
>> Oh, that's on in the gym. That's on in
Lifetime.
>> It's been great. Yeah, it's good. Yeah,
it's been awesome.
>> That softball pitches are It's not about
them being women. It's about if the
product's good enough.
>> So, like if the if the women had 8 foot
rims and these chicks could dunk on each
other and the court was a little smaller
and the ball was a little smaller, I
would probably give it a shot. But the
problem is like I watch whatever the
best of the thing is. Like like I've got
NBA, I can watch that. They're better
than these girls. And so I don't want to
watch a worse product. I don't watch
high school baseball and then be like,
"You're being mean to the high school
boys." It's like, "No, I watch pro
baseball. They're better than the high
school boys."
>> What about college?
>> I also don't have a wife that's going to
get mad at me for saying any of this
[ __ ]
>> I don't think wives care. Wives wives
don't care at all about the WNBA.
>> Oh, really?
>> Yeah. No one has a wife who's like, "You
better shut up."
>> I'm from LA. I don't
>> They all care.
>> But the number one consumer of female
sports is still men.
>> Yes.
>> Like it's really Yeah. the number one
spectator. It's not women watching
women's sports.
>> I'll say 100% of the people who watch
the WNBA are uh they they all like
women.
If you watch the WNBA, you go home to
[ __ ] Like that's a rule.
Do you know what I'm saying? If it's a
guy watching the WNBA, he likes chicks.
And if it's a girl watching the WNBA, he
likes chicks. That or she likes chicks.
That's how it works. Nobody's ever
dunked the ball and then went home to
wiener. That's not a
It's all It's a fair point. It's all
[ __ ]
>> It's testosterone.
>> Yeah.
>> But when you think about sports that
don't have that skill gap like BJJ,
>> right? That is just as popular. A lot of
the UFC female UFC fighters. Ronda
Rousey was like one of the biggest stars
in the world. So maybe it is.
>> What's the level of skill if it's
comparable?
>> Yeah. Male League to female league.
>> Yeah.
>> People will turn up and watch.
>> Yeah. Yeah. And you could not. It'd be
really bad to watch uh females fighting
males. It would not be fair,
>> right? We tried. It doesn't go well.
>> You think the girls would have beat him
up too bad.
>> That's it. Yeah.
>> I Whenever someone when enough
>> on Pixar, they always win.
>> Well, when enough people don't like a
thing, I automatically like it. Like now
I like the WNBA. Now everyone hates it.
I'm like, it's actually awesome. It's a
good ball. There's a a question that me
and one of my housemates ask, which is
like
>> uh at what age do you think that you
could beat the best in the world at a
particular sport? So, you like a
12year-old elite level soccer player?
>> Like, are you as good at soccer
>> as a 12-year-old? Like the best
12-year-old in the world?
>> No.
>> Like, could you submit, you know, like
it's different, I guess, in BJJ because
of weight classes and stuff like that,
like the best 15year-old in the world. I
wanted to do this on a show with
fighting. I came up with this idea where
like I want to like, you know, you get a
5-year-old in there, it's easy, pretty
easy for me. And then we go
six-year-old, I go, "Yeah, this is what
I mean." And we just keep ranking up
until someone beats my ass. And it's
probably going to be an 11year-old that
just annihilates me. And that'll be fun
to watch, too.
>> Do you train?
>> Uh, no. That's another part of it that
it would be pretty quick. You know, you
could find a 10-year-old break my ankle
and knock me the hell out. Um, but yeah,
for sports that's interesting. I don't
know because I'm not very good at soccer
and [ __ ] either.
How do you guys reckon you get on at
seal selection? Jo got to kind of assess
people for a good while. Like if you
haven't got a background like
>> I mean I just think about I've been
swimming. So
>> you have been swimming.
>> Good to go. Yeah. I'm pretty much ready
to go.
>> How hard can it be, man?
>> Ready to go pretty much. Just let me
know.
>> I bought this watch at Paner. It's Navy
Seals. So Oh yeah, you're
>> think I'm ready to rock, dude.
>> How much is it?
>> What's the physical requirement? Like
what would you actually
>> The physical requirements are pretty low
actually. They're not anything crazy.
And if you were like a normal high
school athlete, you have the physical
capabilities of doing it.
>> Interesting.
>> Yeah. But once you get in there, it's
definitely challenging from a physical
perspective.
>> Only in the sense that you get so
physically beaten down and broken down
that mentally you have to be able to
hang on. So
>> it's, you know, everybody says is it's
more mental than physical. That's not
really true either because if you can't
climb that damn rope,
>> then you're not making it through.
>> How's the rope? Yeah, there's 30 foot
ropes, there's 10 foot ropes, there's a
bunch of different ropes. So, that's
just one example, obviously. But some
guys, you know, it's all mental. No, you
need to train physically because
otherwise you won't be able to get
through any of the basic physical
competency tests that you're going to
get.
>> But it is mental, too, because you can
have total studs going through there and
they quit just as much as a a slacker.
>> Now, is the rope like a like a a like a
a-frame wood thing that you climb up or
you just have to climb?
>> Lots of ropes, right?
>> Yeah. There's an obstacle course where
you got to climb a whole bunch of
different ropes and then there's just
straight up 30ft rope. Like there's 10
of them out on the beach and you just
got to climb these ropes
>> and back down.
>> Yeah. You make make you climb them until
you can't climb them anymore.
>> Dang.
>> Can you tell me a story? I was asking
about why there's an age limit and I
think is it 30 30 34 35 or something the
selection tends to get
>> it's around 31
I think is the actual cut off and
occasionally a guy will get through
that's like 32 or 33 got a special
permission or special waiverss they call
it and then maybe a 33y old but that's
that's
>> it's rare I was asking about the cargo
net there's these huge big cargo nets
that you climb up and I think you told
me a story there's some dude who's like
super fatigued got over the top and
essentially from the top of a 30 or 50
foot cargo net with all of his [ __ ] on
just like just hit the sand. But he was
21 so he's made of rubber and magic. So
he just bounced onto his feet and ran
off.
>> What?
>> You know like just somebody from like a
high and then landed and was largely
okay. And I think okay that guy plus 15
years at like 38 like you're dust.
>> Yeah.
>> You've just evaporated from my attorney
right away.
>> I break my leg they take my house away
if I break my leg. You know, that's
that's a wrap on me, you know.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Were you able to pick very
well, do you think, before people came
in?
>> Matter of fact, I was just talking to
somebody the other day that's a that did
a bunch of years as an instructor and
said, you know, could you eventually
figure out who's going to make it? He's
like, nope.
>> You can't you can't look at a human
being and figure out if they're going to
make it or not.
>> Interesting.
>> Just just can't tell whether they're 5'3
or 69. You know, you think that guy's
too small or that guy's too big. Doesn't
matter.
>> Yeah.
>> It's just there's something there's
something in their head that makes them
not going to quit. I saw a thing on
Netflix about the Navy Seals that pissed
me off. They used to do this thing and I
believe they still do it, but this was
Netflix. You know, they said that they
once you get through the thing and
that's very hard, right? And then you go
to now you're in the platoon, you've
done enough time where they go, you're
in now. You've you've passed it even
after the buds. Like you've you platoon
cuz sometimes you make it and then you
you can get kicked out cuz you're not
you're not made of whatever. But then
they put this thing on you, they punch
it in. All the guys go and they punch
this like uh this crest on what's it
called?
>> It's called a trident. Yeah.
>> Trident on you and they all your
sergeants everybody they get to go give
give you a nice punch but you made it
now so you're happy. They're like they
stopped doing this in 1994 because of
hazing or something like I'm like what?
You don't have to like worry about the
Navy Seals you know it's not like he's
going to be like after all of that they
I need to file a a report against my
like what are we doing?
>> Yeah I
>> they still do it don't they? I would be
confident that they likely still do
that. Unofficially, of course.
>> Ridiculous if they stop doing that. But
that's what Netflix in it.
>> Well, the problem being that if you've
been through eating sand for like a week
with no sleep, some guy hitting you a
little bit too hard on your new button,
>> right,
>> isn't the biggest crime.
>> Sounds kind of lame to do it at all.
>> Well, no, it's not nothing. I mean,
they're really putting it in your skin.
So, it's it's not nothing. But what I'm
saying is that like we
>> it's an honor at that point. They're
like, "It's I'm proud of this badge.
Like, this should mark me."
>> Oh, no. I'm with Chris out. Punching a
keychain is kind of like
>> Yeah. Well, we're not made of what
they're made of.
>> Well, you do that with black belts.
>> Black belts as well, right? When someone
graduates.
>> Some people do. They whip you. Yeah. You
walk down like a gauntlet of guys on
either side and then as you get your
belt, you get whipped. Not everyone does
that.
>> Some people do, some people don't.
>> Okay.
>> You know, just depends on the vibe of
the school, what you're into. You got to
get that last little lick in on
somebody. I guess you got
>> before he's got the black belt on. You
need to respect him.
>> Yeah. Whip it up like a dish town.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. Well, apparently they said
>> that to strangers just to confuse them.
What is that guy's deal in here?
>> What's his problem?
>> Yeah. They uh they said we're like, you
know, it's modern people are one of the
first societies that don't have like a
ruthless entry to like manhood. So like
pretty much every other society
beforehand you had to do like really
shitty [ __ ] up stuff. But you were
there was like a a thing that moved you
from a boy to a man.
>> Is that not the misogi? Is this uh
>> it's something like that, isn't it?
>> Yeah. The right of passage type
>> thing
that jumped off the the the tower with
like the vine around their legs. You
ever seen that? No. Oh yeah. Dudes at
somewhere in Africa, they build like a
tower out of whatever trees and bamboo
and stuff and then they tie a vine
around their legs
>> and it stops them just short of hitting
the ground. But yeah, that's their
mandate.
>> What kind of knot are they using for
that?
>> A good one, I guess.
>> A vine.
>> The most non
vine
jacko, man.
>> No, they used to do they used to do a
thing called a sub incision where they
would take a a a boy's penis and slit a
cut up the front of it.
>> Oh, I had this. Yeah,
>> you had this. Oh, wow. You're in like
the tongue tribe and was making
>> they would cut it open so you would like
I don't know. It was supposed to like
remind you about like girls or
something.
>> Oh my god.
>> But they would slice your dick and then
it would like heal. What kind of girls
are you talking about? Vaginas. It was
just kind of like this is what vaginas
are like. And it would cut a giant hole
in your penis and be like
>> that's good.
>> It's called the s. Then it would heal up
and you would always Now you have like a
man's
>> I have no trouble thinking about girls
and I've never had this procedure at
all.
>> Well, imagine
>> how much more would I think of how much
unlocked if you done it.
>> Holy crap, dude.
>> Unbelievable.
>> Girl crazy.
>> Yeah. The things people used to do were
crazy. They would do another one where
they would just pick two villagers and
they would be like, you know, a boy and
a girl. They'd make them have sex and
they would just crush them with logs and
everyone be like, "All right, happy new
year."
>> Yeah,
>> that was like my kid though. What the
hell? It
>> was pretty brutal.
>> Why' we use my kid?
>> You mean like Greeks throwing plates at
a party or something?
>> Yeah, this was like way way back like
you know in like Papa New Guinea or
whatever.
>> You know, you're always gonna have
people that are [ __ ] A lot of this
is just people that are [ __ ] because
you know, you take anybody and they're
like going to initiate people and you'll
find initiate you like, "Hey, good job,
you know, good job." And then and then
you're over here like with the with the
scalp, right? There's always people
asking real to go next. It's the same.
And that's why, you know, you talk about
some of this Navy stuff. It's at a
certain point, military indoctrination
or military hazing rituals. There's
always someone that's like, you know
what, I got a better idea and it's going
to be doing something really stupid. You
used to have like a safety guy. You
know, if you if you have a a hazing
incident going down or a hazing ritual,
you have to have a guy that's like,
"Okay, hey, bro. No, put the scalpel
away or whatever the thing is.
>> Get off your face because we're subt
there are sadistic people in wherever in
any organization. And by the way, when
you get rid of like the actual soft
people.
>> So now you get you get rid of the soft
people and you just have military dudes
like Yeah. There's there's even more
sadistic people in there. So you got to
have some kind of limits on what you're
doing. Otherwise, people are getting
their scalpel on their dick.
>> Yeah. Like that like that pirate was
there was some famous pirate and the
only reason he climbed the ranks so much
is cuz he was more psychopathic. He was
like I'll just I'll get him to talk. You
want me to cut his dick off? And they're
like what? And then he would like
literally and they're like, "All right,
that's the new guy." Like they they
would just out barbarian each other on
the pirate ships for rank.
>> That's one of the reasons that
psychopaths are supposed to have
existed. Like why why would they uh
prevail? Like why would why why would
they have stayed in the evolutionary
gene pool? It's like, well, if you've
only got 50 of you, it's maybe not that
useful. But if there's a little few more
of you, maybe you need some Vikings to
go and raid Lindesfon and like pillage
and come back and not have PTSD and you
go, "Oh, like you're actually kind of
destructive in a small group,
>> but pretty useful if you've got a couple
hundred of you and there's there's
there's enough people there." And yeah,
we used to have this like a a little a
little drawing in the SEAL teams and it
was it was a a little frog man like a
little frog and it's and he was inside
of a glass case and it said in case of
war break glass. And that's true like
there are guys even if you look back at
the historical you know military heroes.
A lot of those guys were totally out of
control as normal civilians and then
whatever a war broke out, they joined up
and they're a hero and they have
something to do and something to focus
their energy on and something to put
their aggression, their testosterone to.
That's the 100% the guy you want.
>> That's the tool.
>> So, it's rough when you're in peace time
and you got these guys that are are, you
know, they're Vikings, right? They're
they're just born and bred to kill other
people and then you're like, "Hey,
actually, you got to be in a uniform
inspection tomorrow." The guys are like,
"What are you talking
Those guys are weapons.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
>> It's like it's like stirring your coffee
with your gun and they're like, "What
are you doing?" You're like, "Well, I'm
using the wrong tool." That's all.
>> These guys are tools, you know? They're
like weapons. Yeah. They don't know what
to do when people aren't using them as a
>> weapon. What do you do with those? Just
like just like a working dog, right?
Like a working dog. You do. People say,
"Oh, you I got a German Shepherd." Like,
"Oh, it's a you know, German Shepherd
like working dog." And no, no, no. You
don't want a working dog in your house.
You don't want the dogs that we had in
the military. You do not want one of
those things as your pet in your house
cuz it will bite some people. That's
what they do. That's literally what
they're bred for and what they're
trained for.
>> And so you can't just have that thing in
your house and expect when the Amazon
dude shows up he's not getting a a a
bite on his neck or his face. Like
that's what's happening. So there's guys
in the military that are 100% like that
and they're barely hanging on. And when
you're in a leadership position, you're
like got you got to hey, you got to
check on those guys. You got to make
sure that you give them some outlet for
the aggression that they've got.
>> What sort of outlet do you give somebody
that isn't just more war?
>> Well, I mean, you you luckily working
out doing jiu-jitsu, boxing, fighting,
wrestling, and and again, that's you're
doing that to to mitigate the amount of
aggression that this Yeah. It's just
like pressure release. It's not saying
that occasionally a dude just doesn't go
out in town and beat up like four
bouncers at a bar or whatever, you know?
Yep. You got to deal with it and it
happens. And a lot of times those guys,
you know, in the Navy,
as your career goes on, you on your
uniform, you get stripes. I think it's
one stripe on your sleeve for every year
that you've been in. And if you've had
good good conduct the whole time, those
stripes at a certain point, they all
become gold. And if you don't have good
conduct, then you have red stripes. So
you see like in a SEAL team, a bunch of
those guys, they've been in for 20
years, they got red stripes. Like they
got in trouble here, they got in a bar
fight there, they got in. Yeah, that's
that's kind of
>> It's like the rings of a tree and going
like, "Oh, that year was a really rough
one. That was the one when he got back
out the booth."
>> It reminds me of Red Dead Redemption
when you're going through and you're
like it lets you know if you're a bad
cowboy or a good cowboy as you're going,
but since it's a video game, you just go
[ __ ] full bad cowboy.
>> Yeah.
>> But that's the same thing like you can
see your honor. Like it's it's like an
honor kind of thing.
>> It's been tracked. What are without
saying who it is or whatever, what are
some of the like most extreme guys that
you'd seen either in the seals or that
you'd heard about like people who had a
you're talking about
very very extreme people in a group of
very extreme people. Are there any
examples that sort of come to mind where
you think [ __ ]
>> guys? There's guys that definitely would
get kicked out of the military because
they got in too many fights, got drunk
too many times. And again, those guys, a
lot of the times, those are guys that
you would want in war 100%. So, you
know, what you're looking for optimally
is a guy that can contain that enough
that they can make it and and still hold
just about hold on. And of course, you
know, you need like the real
professional guys and that are that are
going to keep control of those dudes
because if you don't have that, then
it's going to get out of control real
quick. And occasionally like platoon
would get, this is in the SEAL teams, a
platoon would get disbanded. They would
just take a whole platoon and just
disband a platoon. And usually that was
because the leadership didn't have
control over the boys. And if the boys
get out of control like that, there's
nothing to stop them. And eventually
they're just going to get in enough
fights and break enough stuff and you
know just do bad stuff.
>> Script. It's like the Lord of the Flies
with the guys at the back of the kids at
the back of the class that always sit in
a row and they always disrupt everybody
else and you're like, "Hey, no, you you
you got to be over there. You're in a
different group."
>> The concept of the movie The Dirty
Dozen, right? Is like we got these guys.
They're all in the brick. Like they're
criminals, but we've got this kind of
mission that needs to get done. Cool.
We'll put tape them and put them over
here. That's what we're going to do. So
there is an element of that. You know,
you don't you don't wake up like me. I'm
a kid. What you ask a kid, what do you
want to do when you grow up? Oh, I want
to go carry a machine gun and kill
people. That's not that's not a normal
thing, right? So, you've got those
people. That's what we want to do. And
so, of course, you're going to end up
with some people that are like that
can't really can't contain that as well.
And it's, you know, it's it's a bummer.
But it's also, again, go look at the
history of American heroes. Not all of
them. Some of them are Boy Scouts,
right? Some of them are legit Boy Scouts
and they were they were just good people
that joined the military for God and
country. There's that's absolutely an
element of our American heritage, but
there's another American heritage of
Hell's Angels, right? You're in the
military, but you could have been in the
Hell's Angels cuz you want to fight and
you want to carry a machine gun and kill
people. That's of course you got people
like that. And you know that's what
that's what the military is. It's made
up of those and and the military puts
like you were saying earlier, you you
needed discipline. you needed some
direction. And and that's true for a lot
of young men that want to fight. They
want to carry a machine gun. They want
to go to war. If you don't join the
military, what are you going to do?
You're going to end up in some kind of a
gang. You're going to be a crime
criminal of some kind. So cool. Join the
military. We'll take that energy. We'll
take that aggression. We'll take that
testosterone and we'll do something
totally productive with it. And and and
most of the time, you know, most of the
people in the military, they're able to
contain it. And they they get through or
they get through their career and then
it's fine. Occasionally a guy like just
as a little off gas happens and boom,
you get a little explosion and somebody
gets stabbed, somebody gets, you know,
whatever. Big fights happen and bad
things go down and people get kicked out
of the military or they get sent to the
brink or whatever.

>> Yeah, I I remember I was in uh figure I
think I was in like Tucson and there was
uh there's a bunch of Navy Seals there
and they met me after a show. But we're
all just like hanging out and I I met
them before in San Diego and they're
just, you know, just chilling and
they're pretty like it's like plain
clothes. It's just like pretty much
flannels and [ __ ] And uh these two
girls were there talking to them by the
time I got there. And then the girls
were with these guys who kind of came
later and started kind of like puffing
their feathers up and they had no idea
these guys were like Navy Seals. And I
was watching the whole time like please
[ __ ] kick their ass. I want to see it
so bad.
>> But they they were they were reserved.
They had one guy finally went up. It was
there was like eight of them. I'm like
dude you guys are going to die. Well,
they kind of know that this light work,
you know, this
>> Exactly. They were they were kind of
laughing, but at the same time, you
could really see them kind of like and
then eventually one went up to him was
like said something to him. They were
just like, okay. Left.
>> Where can I get one of those working
dogs? I hate my Amazon delivery gun.
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> I tell him, put the packages on the
patio. Don't leave it at the door.
The selection the selection of working
dogs is probably the most stringent way
more stringent than any
>> military special operations selection
process. The amount of dogs that enter
the pipeline to become a working dog is
probably like one out of every 20 or 30
that actually become a full-fledged
working dog. Yeah.
>> Any girl dogs?
>> I don't know. I I think so.
>> Why is it Why? Why?
>> He hates girls.
>> No, that's not true.
>> Is it not joining the WNBA? No, no, no.
I was trying to say it would be that
women could start using that argument
like there's plenty of girl dogs in the
seals.
>> They're probably Girl dogs are vicious,
dude. Girls, they probably want a girl
dog.
>> Jared, chat GPT. Are there female
working dogs in the SE part of the SEAL?
In the military? Yeah. What's the
proportion? I want to know what the
proportion of
>> I want to make up my earlier sexist
remark.
>> You're looking for equal uh
He said a sexist thing, but then he
really won us over about the female
>> the dogs because the dogs can dunk,
>> which is what's important,
>> right? I saw Airbud. Airbud was a a girl
dog, so she broke a lot of boundaries.
>> Uh they do
>> uh 73% male, 26% female.
>> Go up a little bit. Go up because the
the patrol and apprehension. Okay,
they're in there for patrol. I didn't
see a patrol and apprehension at first.
>> What kind What are they? Belgian malwis
pretty for the most part
>> in in the SEAL teams it's mouse. Yep.
>> Sure.
>> And because they're smaller smaller,
easier to like jump with.
>> You ever see how high they can jump?
>> The Belgian Malwa.
>> Yeah. They're psycho,
>> dude. They can they can like 8 foot fest
right over.
>> It's they're insane.
>> I need one, man. My literally I I want
to get Malwa so bad. The first time I
ever saw one work, it was this training
training event and we're taking down
this big building and they they're like,
"Hey, we got to have this dog out here
and he's going to, you know, we'll show
you how it works and everything." And
I'm kind of like whatever, how's this
dog going to whatever. I just didn't
really think much of it. And all so they
had a guy that was planning in the dog
suit that was going to run away from the
target building. And so I'm outside on
the, you know, ground force commander.
I'm watching. They go, "Hey, you know,
here the guy's going to run away." So,
I'm watching the see the guy run away
and I see the dog, you know, they're
like they say whatever German words to
the dog and the thing's like and just
locked in. I was like, "Oh." And then he
says what gets this dog wanted blood and
he lets there's a quick release that
they have like a trigger on the on the
leash. Pulls that thing and this thing,
bro, it took off going 1,000 miles an
hour. launched at this dude and just
took him down like nothing and just
started mangling this dog suit and I was
like, "We want these things.
>> That's what we want." Yeah. Yeah.
>> So [ __ ] put the metal implants on the
can.
>> It's like those predator dogs from that
movie. I'm telling you.
>> Yours is Yours is in the [ __ ] side
car of your motorcycle with goggles on.
>> Hey, tell me where to get one of these.
>> I kind of want a dog that will bite it.
>> These [ __ ] at the coffee shop are
always giving me a hard time, you know?
I want a little respect around that.
>> You come in with a malenar and a
trigger. this side. God, you don't want
me to release this. Joo told me it's
going to [ __ ] be bad news. It's going
to lock in. I don't know German. But
>> there there's a guy I don't I don't know
if he has he's only made a couple
videos, but his he owns a convenience
store, so he just he has some sort of
trained dog that he like unleashes on
people loitering outside of the store.
>> Yeah, that's great.
>> He only has two videos.
>> We need more of that.
>> He has to wait for his content.
>> Two videos. He's in jail. That's what I
mean.
>> He's just like, "Go." Or the dog, the
dogs don't bite. They come up. The guys
Jesus Christ.
>> Yeah, people are scared of dogs. There's
a big like K9 unit thing inside of the
military and then you guys have one for
SEALs too.
>> There's Yeah, there's So there's just
dog handlers. The mil the whole military
all almost all ground troops have some
access to some kind of military dogs. So
military working dogs. Yeah,
>> that's [ __ ] cool. Seals should get
some water animals, dude. Figure that
out.
>> They have them.
>> They do?
>> Yeah.
>> How does that work?
>> Top secret.
>> Uh
>> and I want names this time. All right.
That's how you get podcasting clicks.
You say names, first and last name.
exploit.
>> I don't know the name of this particular
dolphin, but Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> They have they have Yeah, they have they
have mammals that work.
>> Yeah, they do.
>> Yep.
>> Do you remember?
>> Like a dolphin.
>> Yeah, like dolphins and others.
>> No, they don't. China doesn't stand a
chance against us.
>> I feel like we're really breaking new
ground sharing this. You might get in
trouble.
>> Yeah. No,
>> they got water in the Navy Seals.
>> Yeah,
>> that's sick.
>> What do they do? You know, they they
perform various missions for
You're [ __ ] with me, dude. You're
absolutely f I'm not falling for it.
>> No, I want to believe so bad.
>> Like a dolphin like a little turret on
its head.
>> It's not a turret.
>> Yeah, it's a laser like a
>> I don't know how much this this is uh
available on on the internet. You have
to ask your people for the internet.
>> Okay.
>> On the Can we Can we see military
dolphins?
>> So dumb if this is made up this [ __ ] I
want to talk to the guy. No, I want to
see if it's true.
>> Jock's making sure that he's not going
to get popped by the DoD.
>> True looking dude.
>> Never mind. Don't say anything. Don't
risk it.
>> Do you remember we were at dinner with
Palmer Lucky and he was somebody asked
him a question. You know Palmer? He's
the guy behind uh Anduril. He made the
Oculus which was that that VR thing. And
tagline war technology company is fight
unfair. That's the tagline. It's so
[ __ ] hard. And he has an answer for
every if you just want to ask him some
[ __ ] about like, hey, how would this
have a military application? And we were
at dinner. Do you remember someone asked
him about has anyone tried to make
sharks be useful? And he's like, oh
absolutely. Because the uh immune system
of a shark means that they can go
forever. So what you do is you get a bag
of glucose, stick it to the side of a
shark, put a [ __ ] hypodermic syringe
in, it never needs to eat. You you use
it as like a tracking animal, and this
thing can like go for a thousand miles
without having optimistic.
That's real optimistic, you know, cuz
you go, "All right, we got this shark.
We put a thing with the glucose and the
syring, and so far he's eating a
thousand fish."
How, you know,
>> they don't need to eat.
>> But my point is, he's not going to do
what you want him to do. How do you do
the shark to go get these Russians or
Yeah. How do you
>> I wasn't in the technicalities. Okay.
I'm the ideas guy.
>> Yeah, cuz I just the sharks. He's
swimming around out there. We spent 100
grand on this [ __ ] and now he's just
feel the glucose thought on how to give
him the orders. We're supposed to be
eating Koreans right now. He's out there
swimming around trying to bang another
shark with a glucose syringe on it. You
know what I'm saying? Like it's not
>> I don't know. I believe the dolphins do
get into the John Lily.
>> The military dolphin pro crowd.
>> Dude, I'm going to smile thinking about
this tonight.
>> Seth,
>> just restart that from the very
beginning. What does he say?
I can't confirm or deny whether we have
kamicazi dolphins.
>> America's top military leaders were
asked about killer dolphins.
>> Can you kind of clarify these reports of
kamicazi dolphins?
>> The animation's so funny.
>> The question sounds ridiculous, but the
history behind it is real. Since the
1960s, the US Navy has trained dolphins
and for military work, not reportedly to
blow things up, but to do things like
find underwater mines, recover lost
equipment, and help protect ships and
harbors. The program is called the US
Navy Marine Mammal Program and it still
exists and America was not the only
country doing this. During the Cold War,
the Soviet Navy built its own military
dolphin program in the Black Sea. After
the Soviet Union collapsed about
>> and in 2000, the BBC reported that
Ukraine transferred part of its military
dolphin project to Iran. That's why this
now the US and Iran are already [ __ ] is
there a dolphin battle important oil
routes on Earth. And now even the
weirdest pieces of military history are
being pulled back into the conversation.
So no, the Pentagon didn't confirm
kamicazi dolphins. But it did confirm
something else. The standoff with Iran
has gotten strange enough that
weaponized dolphins are now being
discussed at a US military briefing.
>> That's what Also, you just think it's
not going to go well, dude, cuz the
dolphin's going to swim up to some
fishing boat. You know, it's going to
go, "This guy's got fishes up here." And
then, you know, like it's just not You
need control of these things.
>> They're trainable. I peted one in
Mexico.
>> Unreliable.
>> I petted a dolphin in Mexico. Friendly
as hell.
>> Yeah. Well, that's my problem. They're
actually scary.
>> He's going to come up to you and then
you go, "What do you got ticking on your
back there, buddy?" You know,
>> dude. No, they're actually scary. I
thought dolphins were like you play in
the ocean. I would [ __ ] myself if one of
these came up to me. They're huge
dolphins. They're terrifying.
>> Like big water dogs.
>> I was in the thing in Mexico. They get
you get in like a little like it's like
a little dock but under the waters you
can stand. They swim up and I was like
my kids were there and they were scared.
I'm like, "Don't be scared, guys. All
right.
>> Really?
>> No. Just just touch it. You could tell.
>> I was like, "Oh my god."
>> You go first, little buddy.
>> Don't be afraid. That's bait.
>> Yeah. No, I think they're sweethearts. I
rode them around in Mexico before I knew
it was not appropriate.
>> I posted all the photos and everyone was
like, "You monster." I was like, "I'm
just kidding. It was a fake."
>> You bet pictures, huh?
>> You bet a dolphin, too?
>> No, I rode it around and [ __ ] Yeah.
Like it was like Yeah. Like you could
grab on it. Uh
>> grab it fin.
>> My girlfriend at the time was small
enough that she could uh Not that I just
don't have a girlfriend anymore. There's
nothing like the same girlfriend. She's
gotten bigger.
>> She didn't sound like that.
>> Got to do the sperm wheel.
>> My girlfriend back when she was small
enough.
>> No, but she would actually stand on that
[ __ ] in there. She was able to do it
because she was, you know,
>> little. But I had to like kind of lay
down and like let him pull me.
>> You're like boogie boarding.
>> Yeah. I didn't know that they hate it
there. Those dolphins that like cuz
they're they're meant they're like they
use echoes and they're used to like
miles of sea. So, it don't matter what
you put them in. They're gonna freak out
and they're feeding them full of fish
with little uh pills for ulcers and
Yeah, it's not good. But we didn't know
any of that. And then we had a fun time.
>> Yeah, it was a great day. It's like 200
bucks.
>> Yeah, I I same way. I got there and I'm
like, "Ah, man. This is kind of sad in
that little pond." But
>> they're looking at me like, "Help me."
You got
>> I was I cheaped out. Give me a ride.
>> Got yourself into this.
>> Yeah. I cheaped out on the like
>> the Lord of the Sea thing where you
could kind of like hold both.
>> It felt cool.
>> It looked awesome.
>> Yeah. Was this when you were so Were you
sober at this time or no?
>> No, this was a long time ago. Like 2008
or 2009.
>> Okay. Yeah. Drunken dolphin.
>> We were drunk for sure.
>> Yeah. There's no way you're doing that
sober.
>> Yeah. There's no like sober.
>> Also, so many stories in my life are
like I went to a thing that was for
kids.
>> Yeah.
>> And I'm the guy there that's like,
"Yeah, I'll do this." And then
everyone's like, "Why is he out here?"
>> Like, "Want to run the bases at the
Cardinals game?" And it's just me and
like a bunch of little kids. And so
there's so many of my stories of just
drunk Jeff with a bunch of family
things.
>> Does sound bad when you say that. A
bunch of stories with drunk Jeff and a
bunch of little kids.
>> Well, it's like Yeah, these families are
going, "Why is this guy with all the
kid? This guy sucks."
>> Yeah. I went to a water park way too
late. It was me and Shane went Me and
Shane went to a water park and it was
like a small one, too. I came down the
water. We had like gym shorts, too. We
didn't bathing suits. You come down, you
come down. So, you're instantly like
vacuum sealed. just your [ __ ] tiny
flashing penis sticking out and there'd
be a guy just waiting for his kid. There
just be me like
>> he's just like my same age just be like
what the [ __ ]
>> Why are you doing this? Yeah.
>> Why should the kids have all the fun in
here?
>> I can't tell you how many times I've
been to like a shoe store and I see like
one of those light up LA Gear shoes. I'm
like, "You guys have this in a 12?" And
they're like, "No."
>> Yeah. Wheelies.
>> We have them in four size four.
>> Wheelies would be so sick.
>> I Yeah. I I've never had
>> any special ops any special ops
applications with the wheelies.
>> I don't think so.
>> That would be sick.
>> I don't think so.
>> Let's get on it, dude.
>> A guy from the UK ran a marathon in
wheelies.
>> Really?
>> That's cheating, though. Isn't
>> that cheating?
>> But it was way harder. It was infinitely
harder. Like, cuz only the only way that
it's better is if it's mostly downhill,
>> right?
>> I hope it's
>> And he he we he only wheelied for very
small parts of it. And like if you think
about how you have to run, you have to
run right on the forefoot or else you've
just it's basically an unstable [ __ ]
>> Don't they retract? I thought they
retracted somehow.
>> I you know the technology of the wheelie
better.
>> You can't even talk about
classified.
>> That's classified. What is everyone
doing though? Like like
>> that's a cool
>> I just did a Navy Seals podcast
yesterday. Sean Johnson, the security
guy for Joe Rogan or whatever and he's a
great guy. Good. And he was like, "Yeah,
our guest before us ran 500 miles." Uh,
he ran silic. Why didn't you What are we
doing now? Now it's not a You hear about
David Gog, the guy ran a [ __ ] [ __ ]
tongue. And he goes, "Yeah, but this guy
run a [ __ ] ton on drugs." And he go,
"Oh, okay." And then now this guy's
running a [ __ ] ton with wheelies. What's
everyone up to? Uh, did you see
>> pushing the envelope, man?
>> What is going on here?
>> Having sex. You go, "Holy [ __ ] Bring
him in."
>> Dude, imagine cuz you know everyone's
loved ones. You do a marathon,
everyone's like family and friends are
watching just they're all usually pretty
Yeah, you just that one glide. It's like
cheating though.
>> Just kill me then. Just let me go out.
>> Suicide.
>> It's a peak moment. No one can do water.
They're like actually Yeah.
>> Uh Nims Purgger.
>> Yeah.
>> Passed away. You know that guy? He was
the
>> the uh best death zone mountaineer on
the planet. And uh he had
>> the Netflix documentary. did did my
show, did Rogan's show, and uh he passed
away just doing some mountaineering
stuff like he was a a not GEIKO, what's
the
>> Yeah, he was GKEO. Well, he was, but
then he eventually went into
>> Yeah. So, he's like British Special
Forces, SAS.
>> Oh, wow.
>> Uh and then I mean, he did these as
descents without oxygen. Like the most
gnarly [ __ ] like, oh, we're at the top
of Everest and some guy needs oxygen and
we don't have any.
>> I'll just give him mine and I'll just go
down normally. Uh, and yeah, he he that
was he he did it.
>> Yeah, there's all part on psilocybin.
You know,
>> that might have actually been the thing
that could have fixed it.
>> Wait, maybe he could do that with
wheelies.
We could talk to
>> Everest with wheelies is actually
harder. Like
>> the first guy to summit Everest without
legs just happened.
>> Oh, Jesus Christ. This is what I'm
talking about.
>> No,
>> that's so impressive. What are you
doing?
>> Get the video.
>> Just have a regular life.
>> But he's trying to. He's got no legs. I
know.
>> Also on every to be up there.
>> He needs to get up there on Everest.
Apparently, giant sheets of ice will
just flip off and they could crush that
whole base camp.
>> If you and your partners sleep best at
different temperatures, it is time that
you join us in the modern world and got
an eight sleep.
>> I've always wanted to try eight sleep.
Uh, which side of the bed you prefer? I
usually take left, but I am flexible.
>> You're not sleeping in my bed, mate.
>> Oh, when you said partner, I just
assumed
>> I mean a romantic partner, you know.
>> Of course. Eight Sleeps Pod 5 is a smart
mattress cover that actively cools or
heats each side of the bed by up to 20°.
So if you run hot and your partner runs
cold, you're both happy.
>> So hypothetically, if your bro was
sleeping over, what side of the bed
would you prefer?
>> I'm not 12. There are no sleepovers.
Okay.
Best of all, it's got upgraded sensors
that run health checks while you're
asleep, tracking things like abnormal
heartbeats or sudden HIV changes.
>> What if I just slept at the end of your
bed like a dock? Did
>> your wife kick you out again? She did.
Fine. Okay. Yes.
Pod five. It cools, it heats, it
elevates, and it's clinically proven to

documentary about uh the Nepal
earthquake that happened and it was
during Everest climbing season and I
think there's one and then there's maybe
an aftershock and another one and it is
[ __ ] insane cuz most of Everest is
the kind of valley. It's not actually it
doesn't look that much like a mountain.
And it's just this sort of big valley
thing in between a ton of other peaks.
And you keep going up and there's base
camp 1 2 3 4 and then there's this
special pass that's like a big [ __ ]
ravine. And you realize even from going
up to coming back down, [ __ ] changes all
the time. Glacia is moving.
>> If you like fart too loud, [ __ ] moves up
there. And a big earthquake that
flattened half of cat
>> like that goes and there's videos of
just the gnarliest [ __ ] avalanche
you've ever seen in your life.
>> Yeah. God's just looking at us going,
"What are they doing?
>> Stay down.
>> What the hell's back in the water with
no [ __ ] legs?"
>> Yeah, you can't breathe.
>> He's still climbing around up there. God
damn it. Like, what are we doing? There
was a documentary on Netflix about
>> Look at this guy.
>> Look at him.
>> Yeah.
>> Man with no legs makes history by
climbing Mount Everest using only his
arms.
>> Maybe play maybe in the headline put his
name. Don't call him man without legs.
>> Look at that. See, that's what that's
what you should be doing.
>> Man with 34th birthday up there.
There's no store for cake.
>> Former Russian paratrooper lost both of
his legs in 2015 after military
>> cake in cold.
>> It is difficult.
>> Is that AI cake? What's going on here,
>> dude? Apparently, so that that guy John
Crackour who had the whole in a thin air
thing, he wrote that book being like
nobody should do this. It's so
dangerous. You can die. And uh he said
like, you know, years after it published
the what are the the guides called like
your what are those dudes called?
>> Sherpas. We're like, "Dude, we can't
thank you enough, man." Like thousands
more, thousands of people come. Like the
industry
>> when he did it, he was maybe 450 people
climbed Everest. Like 10 years later
after the book, it was like 33,000
people.
>> So everyone who started, they were like,
"If that guy can [ __ ] do it, I can do
it." That's what he said. People need
him. People will meet him and be like,
"If you can [ __ ] do it."
>> Well, now all these guys with legs are
going to be like, "This is easy. He's
piece of [ __ ]
>> Got two legs.
>> Need to lose one leg or two legs and one
arm and then I can do it and try and
beat the record."
>> I got two legs and no cake. I'm going to
be WHIPPING UP THERE.
I DON'T KNOW. LIKE I WATCHED A
DOCUMENTARY ON Netflix where they they
were talking about this terrible
avalanche that you know um you know
crushed a lot of people and it was a
pretty heavy documentary but they were
talking about just working at the camp
setting up before the terrible thing
happened in the story of or in the
documentary and they were like yeah we'd
we'd have to wake up every morning that
time of season and go set off
explosions. They would cause little
avalanches just so that the people could
be living there. And I'm like, why is
>> Yeah,
>> you're you're already playing with fire
if you live in an environment where men
and women have to wake up at 6:00 a.m.
and go set off explosions to do like
you're already you're already in the
lion's den.
>> You're on the edge a little.
>> Yeah. What are we doing? Do you is the
If you go to do [ __ ] in the snow, which
military subdivision gets sent to go and
do that?
>> Everybody trains for the Army and the
Marine Corps and special operations.
Everyone trains to do snow snow work,
>> right?
>> Yeah. And the same for desert and the
same for
>> Yeah. And you know, there's some
geographical kind of destinations that
are a little bit more more obvious for
some units. You know, if you're
deploying over to Europe, you're
probably going to do more snow work than
if you're deploying to South America,
>> you know. So, you kind of figure that
out that way.
>> It's pretty [ __ ] cool.
>> What's your favorite element or least
favorite element?
>> Uh,
man, I like kind of like them all.
They're all They're all a little bit
different, you know. Um, but growing
when I was growing up, you know, as a
kid in New England and like I thought I
was going to be fighting in, you know,
the I thought I was going to be fighting
in Vietnam, but I ended up fighting in
the in the desert and in the city
environment. So, I guess I'm kind of
like that.
>> You went from humid jungle to open urban
sand.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Or city,
>> you know, the city environment.
>> Mhm.
>> But they're they all have their own
little unique challenges and it's always
interesting and you got to get good at
each particular one. And I would I
always say I'd rather be cold than too
too cold or too hot.
>> But
>> the woods. That's so main, right? The
woods.
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> Bigfoot. You might be the guy.
>> Oh, yes. Right. You're big foot guy,
huh?
>> Well, I'm just saying let's get you
Let's get you in the woods back to where
you know, you know. You said you like
all the area and then let's get you to
kill one of these [ __ ]
>> You're the guy.
>> Could be. Could be.
>> Why not, man?
>> I don't know. Did you ever research
igloos about like how much they they
apparently they're like they can take
like snow can trap heat like an
unbelievable level.
>> Really?
>> Oh yeah, dude. Like
>> I've never once looked up igloos in my
life.
>> You never been to a children's museum?
>> Well, like I when I was in kindergarten
it's like A B C D and then when it gets
to I there's a picture of a [ __ ]
igloo. That's all I know about it.
>> Walk into igloos. Igloo.
>> Make some make that your next drunk
kids. Go kids museum. I really grown up
a lot. That's the problem.
>> It's just Bigfoot and cigars, man. I've
grown up a lot.
>> What can igloos do?
>> They just trap like an unbelievable
amount of heat. Like way
>> they're made of ice. They're not made of
snow, right?
>> Now you're [ __ ] me up. I I
>> blocks of ice.
>> They're like blocks of snowish ice.
>> Yeah.
>> Snowball snow. What's that called?
>> There's a snow that doesn't snowball
snow.
>> Yeah, it's compactable snow.
>> All right. Okay, cool.
>> Snow ice hybrid.
>> In your defense, you said you never
looked it up. He did.
>> That's true. I've never heard this
stuff. I just read a placard in one kids
museum and I was like, whoa, it's like
400. It's like 400% of heat or some
something surprising.
>> Well, there's a if you fall in water in
like snowy environment, you're supposed
to take all your clothes off and then
roll in snow, right?
>> Yeah. So, you'll die quicker.
>> They go, let's just [ __ ] end this.
You just roll around in the snow.
>> Get back in the water and drown
yourself.
>> So, you definitely have to take your
clothes off. You definitely have to take
your clothes off if you're wet. Yeah.
You want to get dry. I'm pretty sure
that the snow is like absorbent because
it's not it'll help to get some of the
water off you roll around in the snow.
>> I'd also I'd be a snow leopard in the
winter if I took all my clothes off. You
would not be able to see me at all. I'd
be completely camoufl secret.
>> You wouldn't see me at all.
>> I'm for real. Like I My wife laughs cuz
I actually did tan this summer, but I'll
like walk to the shower and it looks
like I'm wearing shorts.
>> That's cool.
>> My like my ass is so white. It's crazy.
>> It's pretty cool.
>> It's pretty awesome. Honestly, now I've
never thought about how well I blend in
to an Arctic environment.
>> No clothes. I'm wearing clothes.
>> It's It's actually kind Yeah, I would
show you guys, but it' be weird.
My ass is trust.
>> I mean, dude. Yeah. Thank you.
>> Cuz I've been at the I've been in the
condo for the mother ship. So like I'm
on the 20th floor and it's just all
windows. But I don't want to fuss with
all the things. So I just kind of been
walking around like, you know,
>> just underway. If I'm going to the
shower, I'm kind of like, I'm whatever.
But for you, they would see it from a
distance and go, he's wearing poly.
Also, if you're that high up, I if
you're like in, you know, so if you're
in like a hotel in New York, if you're
in a high window environment with a
bunch of other windows, if someone sees
you naked, that's kind of on them
really.
>> Yeah.
>> I don't if you're certain if you're up
high enough, it's like I'm not what
>> I also think about it like I don't think
they're that I don't think going to be
that interested. I think they go, "Is
that guy naked?" And all right. Like
there's not much. Do you ever see a
naked person through a window?
>> Well, if they're having sex or doing
something, then I would be excited. But
just a guy in the kitchen eating a chewy
granola bar, you know? I would I I would
no matter what I would stare I would
stare for like 30 minutes if it's
[ __ ] naked guy. I It's just crazy.
>> Watch some old guy just watch TV cuz we
could see him like I guess watching him
watch a thing.
>> It's an old naked man. I would I would
sit there. He'd have to move.
>> I wouldn't budge. I would just watch
him.
>> That's crazy. You never see you get
arrested for that, you know, right?
>> No. Not if we're both 20 feet up in the
air.
>> What's the floor?
>> 20 ft.
>> What's the What's the floor above which
it's not weird? Because it's if it's
ground floor, that's kind of
>> ground floor is crazy.
>> Yeah. But so first floor is probably
also not great, you know.
>> Yeah. But I can only get to her window
on the first floor, you know, like do
you know what I'm saying? I've never
been higher.
>> Double.
>> So how am I supposed to do this?
>> I would say double digits. Double digit.
Double digit floors is international.
>> So if you got a a Belgian Malininoir, it
might be able to jump high enough to see
itself.
>> He can watch whatever he wants, dude. No
dog laws. That's true. double. I
remember one time when I lived in
Philadelphia, I I could hear like my
neighbors all the time and I thought
they were having sex and I was like, "Oh
my god, I could hear them through the
wall and I was all excited. I'm like
getting all [ __ ] hard like this is
awesome." And then I just realized they
I was like about to beat off
>> and then I was about to beat off and
then I realized they were just fighting
and I was like, "Ah, [ __ ] this. It's
also kind of hot."
>> Now I feel like a creeper.
>> I feel like a creep.
>> I could have. Mom and dad it reminds me
of mom and dad, you know.
True arguing, you know.
>> Yeah, they could have made up. Actually,
>> that must happen all the time in New
York. You're just so [ __ ] on top of
each other like at all times. Everybody
facing windows facing each other and no
one's got special tinted windows. All
these buildings are 100 years old.
>> Yeah,
>> it's got to happen all the time.
>> I would imagine. Although I'm looking
for it. I'm up there sometimes. No tell.
I I'm I'm only just me.
>> Well, that's what I'm saying.
>> Sometimes the view of my room is just
someone else's room. Like so that's
that's what I'm always thinking about.
Like in my house, I don't think about
what I'm wearing, but I've thought about
it all [ __ ] week.
>> Yeah.
>> Like I don't know. People are looking in
here.
>> Does is it uh Orlando airport that's got
that huge hotel that's like right in the
I swear it's Orlando. Really? It's one
this Florida Florida airport that's got
the main TSA checkpoint is just floor
toseeiling rooms.
>> So it's like built hotel built into the
terminal. You hotel
>> New York has one of those. And I always
think like these they're just straight
up windows overlooking TSA. So there is
the potential for somebody who's like
while they're getting frisked down to
just look up and you're just morning
glory opening the
>> That's wild.
>> Yeah, that's good.
>> That's pretty awesome.
>> So I want to spend my time
>> watching people get frisked all day just
>> if you're into it.
>> It's a power move.
>> I love security.
>> I just have knives jacks my like you
wish you could do this right now. Can
you?
>> Uh how how is sobriety going? I know
that this has been big pivot for you.
>> How long has it been?
>> Uh, two years and nine months.
>> Was there like a straw that broke the
camel's back? Um,
>> like some children's event that you went
to. You finally finally got kicked out
of
>> now. Stop saying children's.
>> No. Uh, nothing that stands out. I mean,
getting arrested and crashing my car and
fighting some cops. That that part it
was that. Yeah. It was a big dramatic
thing. It was a huge It was a huge
embarrassing.
>> How' the fight go?
>> Terrible for me. You don't train, do
you?
>> Those boys can fight. Yeah.
I was a little, you know, it was a
little blurry for me if I'm honest.
>> Drunk, got in a fight and that was it
for you. You said no more.
>> Yeah, cuz I mean like also like I had
been thinking uh I should be giving up
the bottle for a long time.
>> Like it's in your mind and you're going
h maybe cuz drinking is great. Drinking
is fun until it's until you get sad or
till you you know till something bad
happens or till drinking has a lot of
positive experiences but it was it was
time to time to wrap it up. But it's
been great. And I in my act I always
joke about all the negatives of
sobriety, but the truth is like it's
fantastic and I'm very happy I did it.
>> Unreal. Congrats, man.
>> It's been great. Thanks.
>> And did what took its place.
>> Um well, I do work out way more now,
which is even if it's like a crappy
workout, I'm just kind of proud of
myself for going like and then that
gives me like a little rush of like we
did it today. We're in here, you know?
We're we're doing that. And then I do
smoke a [ __ ] ton of cigars.
>> Shock.
>> And um yeah, those are the main things.
Did you do drugs too when you were
drinking a lot?
>> Yeah, I was doing a lot of pills with
the drinking, you know, cuz then I could
stay awake. All my friends would do
like, you know, cocaine or whatever and
then like I would be passing out from
the alcohol. Is this funny?
>> You're a comedian.
>> I know. I love it. I'm good.
Coolest guy knows just laughing at this
[ __ ] dude. He couldn't even
>> It's a great follow-up question, too.
>> So, it was like aderall and stuff. Yeah,
because um I would like pass out from
drinking like at my house cuz I got a
bunch of people over, but I would hear
them having fun downstairs and I'm like,
"Dude, I'm missing out on the party." So
then, yeah, you just start popping pills
and doing whatever to try to keep uh
keep drinking, you know?
>> I've never done Adol. What's it feel
like?
>> Well, like cocaine. It's the same [ __ ]
>> right?
>> It is.
>> Yeah. I can't have it.
>> Act like it's none.
>> I can't have it. I I It doesn't help me
study. I tried it in college. I I was in
a library. I started just chatting with
everybody and then I I took it I took it
while drinking. And I got kicked out of
a Beasty Boys concert and then I snuck
back. Swear to God.
>> What did you do to get kicked out of a
Beasty Boys concert?
>> What? Oh, that's impressive. Well, it
was actually So, for some reason,
whenever I take Adderall and I've only
ever taken it a handful of times while
drinking, I get it in my head that like
I have way more capabilities than I do.
So, I was sitting there and I'm like I'm
just like I was on this. I remember my
friends had ground floor tickets. I had
tickets of like this like you know not a
balcony but it was like I was here and
the floor was here but it was like a 8ft
or whatever 6 or 7 foot drop and then I
could climb back up and get on the floor
and I was like if if I look here all the
security guards if I time it where all
their backs are turned jump and jump up
I'll disappear into the crowd.
>> No problem.
>> Limitless, dude.
>> Dude, literally I jump down finally and
I want to jump into the crowd hoping
like like dissolve into this. The crowd
just completely parted around me. I get
tackled by two security guards. They
knocked one of my shoes off. So, I'm
walking out with one shoe. I go out and
I'm like, "Man, [ __ ] This is bullshit."
And I like just kick my other shoe off.
And I saw like this they had the chain
league fence where people smoke. I just
kind of found a gap in that, went in,
went back in, and then I they saw my
friend who actually back in the used to
look like me. So, they were This is
really shitty of me, but they were
kicking him out. Mistaken identity. I
kind of just was like, "That sucks." And
I kept going. The guy goes saw the fact
that I had no shoes on and was like it's
actually him [ __ ] So then he goes
back I get kicked out again and then
they were doing an Aramark working like
a shift worker thing. So when the people
were changing shifts for the Amark
employees I got in line with the Aramark
employees again still in my socks walked
in and then I walked under the
bleachers. I was near like dressing
rooms and stuff. walked under the
bleachers, crawled up and I found a gap
between the bleachers and there was just
people like it had seats and my face
just like came out under and I just
watched the concert next to them and I
walked all the way back from South
Philly to West Philly. So
>> Aderal Yeah, not good for me. Yeah, not
good. I can't do it.
>> It sounds great.
>> It was pretty awesome. I
>> don't know why everyone isn't doing it.
>> AD is great when you have OCD, too, cuz
you just like organize a sock drawer you
never looked at in your life. Yeah, I
don't I I give myself the worst missions
possible and then I just I do them
though. I get them done but they're not
they're not like a new hour of material
in Aderal. It's all useless the next
day. I'm like none of this is funny.
>> He was so enthusiastic about it while
it's very organized like that's going to
be good.
>> I've heard aderall is like anti- comedy.
Like people who have like I've done
stand up on aderall. It's just
apparently it's just a different
wavelength. It just doesn't translate.
>> I've learned from over a thousand
podcast episodes the easier that you
make your health routine the more
consistent you'll be. It's like golf,
right? You want to keep it simple and
not mix a bunch of pills. You want the
eye of the tiger, not the DUI of the
tiger. That's why I'm such a huge fan of
AG1. One scoop contains 75 vitamins,
minerals, probiotics, and whole food
source ingredients in a single daily
drink. And that's why been taking it
every single morning for nearly 5 years
now. And they've taken it a step further
with AG1 NextGen, backed by four
clinical trials. Those trials, it was
shown to fill common nutrient gaps,
improve key nutrient levels in just 3
months, and increase healthy gut
bacteria by 10 times even in people who
already eat well. Plus, if you're still
unsure, they've got a 90-day money back

>> Did you get through the the full like
alcohol withdrawals and everything?
>> Yeah, actually, it's kind of funny. I
thought that I had COVID.
I'm like, "Ah, [ __ ] Just my luck, man.
I get arrested and then I get out and
now I got CO." And then and then my
doctor, he's like, "No, dude. This is
alcohol withdrawal." And I was like,
"Oh, [ __ ] That's a real thing, huh?"
And he goes, "Yeah." And so yeah, there
was uh it was it was a rough week, but
>> yeah, that's like the one thing you
can't quit cold turkey.
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> Or you can, but you you eat can kill
you.
>> You can die on how deep down the rabbit
hole you
>> and Xanax.
>> Really?
>> Yeah. You can die from Xanax withdrawal,
too.
>> Well, actually, I will admit, I've never
said this before, but so when I got out
of jail, I did start drinking again. I
was like having beers and making light
of it. And then or not making light of
it, but now
>> How long were you in jail for?
>> Uh, a couple days waiting for a judge,
basically.
>> But the um when I got out, I was like,
"Okay, no one found out, you know, cuz I
thought to myself while I was in jail
without my phone, like either everyone's
talking about it or no one cares and no
one knows and and they just think that
I'm not answering my texts." So when I
got out, I realized no one noticed. But
then uh like so then I started drinking
again. I went back to my softball team,
told some of my close friends about it.
But then like once it got public, like
once everyone started dragging me on the
internet and making fun of me, then I
was like, "All right, I guess they need
to do some work, you know, like I need
to figure out if this is so that the
humiliation of everyone knowing about
what happened is what made me take it
serious."
>> You know, I wrote a book called Extreme
Ownership, which is about like taking
ownership of what's going on. It seemed
like another move could have just been
like own it. Like, hell yeah, dude. It
was a good night.
>> You're You're a comedian, right? You
just be like, "Hey." Yeah, dude. Yeah. I
go hard.
>> Yeah.
>> Who's with me? You know what I'm saying?
>> Yeah. Well, but also drink, but the my
commitment to truth made me go, "This is
a problem."
>> Okay.
>> Yeah. Like, cuz normally I will just
own, you know, any of my thoughts or
opinions. I don't really care what
people think about those kind of things.
But I knew deep down like this is a
problem. You're using this as a [ __ ]
>> The social pressure was the big kicker
as well. Interesting. Yeah, I came off
came off a 50 cent per day moped in Bali
10 years ago and brakes go out from
underneath me as I'm trying to avoid
some truck land on the Balines tarmac.
All of this side of my arm is gone. All
the outside of my foot is gone. Like
just the left hand side of my body had
no skin left on it. Uh but nothing
broken. And my first sensation I'm in
the middle of the road there's still
Balines people like [ __ ] idiot
tourist again. Here we go. Like classic
stuff. My first sensation wasn't like
fear for my life. Am I okay? Health
concern. It was like I look like such a
prick.
>> It was embarrassment.
>> My main concern of mortal fear was
embarrassment.
>> Yeah.
>> That was it.
>> Yeah.
>> Damn.
>> That's why that's what that's true. Like
like I always say like uh with things
like that, you'll probably notice it the
next day more like when you're thinking
you're going, "Ah, this kind of hurts."
Like cuz in that moment you're just
going I got to [ __ ] figure this out.
Adrenaline kicks in and you're
>> trying to walk cool. Trying to walk away
from the scene cool.
>> Went to a beach club. continued on to a
beach club with these two Aussie guys
that were traveling. So, I don't want to
look like I'm not too cool. One of them
was like, I'm trained. I'm sure it'll be
fine. Go to a beach club. He's got like
alcohol swabs doing that. Like, have you
ever had alcohol like a proper open like
good bit of
>> so bad.
>> I thought that I knew what the ceiling
of
>> like communication was that my nerves
could could give to me. And it just blew
straight [ __ ] through. I could hear
it.
>> I was like, I can hear the [ __ ] I
started laughing. It was so painful. I
was like, "This is absurd how [ __ ]
painful it is." But someone just took
the dial and like cranked it up to 100.
>> Yeah. I had a uh ear infection when I
was younger and I remember I feel like
they used to dump like hydrogen
peroxide.
>> Yeah. They used to do that and it
bubbles.
>> Yeah. So I saw the bottle and rubbing
alcohol was the same shaped bottle and I
was like I think this is the [ __ ] that
my mom pours in my ear and I dumped
rubbing alcohol into an ear infection. I
cried. It hurt so bad. It was It brought
me to my knees. It hurt. I heard kidney
stones are the worst though.
kidney stones. I've seen guys go down
kidney stones. What are they?
>> Like you get some kind of buildup in
your kidneys and it has to come out
>> like pissing a rock out like a rock.
>> Oh, it happens to a lot of people too by
the way.
>> It's like birthing a [ __ ] little
infection.
>> It's worse than child birth. Trust me.
No,
>> trust.
>> But no, trust me. I know.
>> Well, it's interesting you say that
because we got I didn't know whether or
not I was going to do this. We also have
Hunter Biden on the podcast on Monday,
which is going to be [ __ ] hilarious.
So, it's either today we're going to do
it today or I'm going to offer it to
Hunter Biden. We have period cramp
simulators here.
>> This is some sort of feminist
propaganda, isn't it?
>> This is because of your WNBA thing. It
can stay it can stay over there. We're
gonna do it today. I don't even know
>> Hunter. It's like some electronic thing,
but we gave it to one of No, we gave it
to one of the I'm going to have to do it
before Monday if I'm going to get Hunter
Biden to do it.
>> Um,
>> we gave it to one of the guys and he I'm
going to test it on my arm and he had uh
he had his wedding ring on. his wedding
ring immediately started heating up and
he wasn't able to like close his hand
for like a couple of hours. Like Nick
couldn't feel his [ __ ] arm.
>> But you you you ingest it or do you
inject it?
>> It No, it's like a it's a one of those
kind of like an ab machine thing. Oh
god, I got it.
>> And it
>> and it's supposed to simulate
>> you immediately start watching Sex in
the City.
>> Yeah.
Order stuff off of Amazon. my first kid,
my wife was pregnant with my with our
first kid and I went to the class where
you're going to go through like the
birthing stuff and and so I'm in there
and and you know I'm you know being Mr.
Supportive dude whatever and you know
the woman's teaching this breathing and
stuff and telling me what to do and like
and she's like she's going to be in a
lot of pain and I and I I said you know
what what's the pain from and you know
just kind of you know I'd gone through
like combat trauma and all that kind of
stuff. What's the pain from? And the
woman's like you'll never know. Oh, and
I go, "No, no, I'm not saying I'll I'll
know, but like just what's causing the
pain?" She's like, "You don't understand
what it's like." I'm like, "Okay, it's
okay. It's all good. I'll just sit here
and be quiet." Yeah,
>> that's you told. Also, I would pay any
money to see you in like one of those
classes.
>> Yeah, you just watch.
>> There was only one. And I was like,
"Hey, I'm not welcome there by that by
that woman."
>> You're like, "I have access to empathy.
Can you please explain scientifically
what briefly? There is there is a short
window that this special operator is
actually able to feel feelings. I'm
desperately trying to understand what
the love of my life's going to go
through. Uh, okay. I tried emotions once
and it didn't go well. It was you both
in class.
>> You got you're on your own.
>> Dude, they're shitty. When you're like
the guy in the hospital, they're like
really shitty towards you. I remember we
were like uh I was with my wife and we
had like hours and hours and hours and I
I was like kind of point man. I would
run home, do stuff for like the dogs,
come back
>> during labor.
>> Yeah. And we had like we had plenty of
time and I was like and they were
scheduling a C-section. I was like, "All
right, well, what time are you doing
this cuz I have to let the dogs out?"
But I was just like, "Do I have hours or
should I stay here?" And they were like,
"What?" Literally, she goes, "What do
you have somewhere else to be?" And I
was like, "Is this going to happen right
away? Like, what's the move here?" And
then she was just a piece I felt like a
piece of [ __ ] for even asking. Like,
"Hey, just I got to do all this other
[ __ ] too." Like,
>> yeah.
>> You know, I it was my responsibility to
still do we couldn't get someone to
watch the dogs.
>> Yeah.
>> So, I was like, "Fuck the dogs if we're
doing it right now, but if we do have
three or four hours, I can just
>> let the dogs starve."
>> Yeah. Like, what the [ __ ] And the lady,
you would have thought I I'd been like,
"All right, well, hurry the [ __ ] up." I
was just like just curious. I wasn't in
a rush. I was like trying to help. They
They're shady towards you.
>> That sucks. I I think the reason for
that is it's obvious the price that
chicks pay when they go through labor.
And any guy that isn't like completely
attuned to that just is seen as callous
or flippant or not caring. Like, you
know, you desperately trying to
understand, hey,
explain to me where this is coming from.
Hey, we also have these fur babies at
home and it would be really nice if we
made sure that they didn't starve over.
We had been there for a day and a half.
So it wasn't like we had just gotten
there. We had been there, you know,
we're doing all this stuff.
>> She was guessing be like, "Yeah, lots of
places. It's been a day and a half."
>> I was like, I just want to know if I
can, I can. I'm asking you completely.
You would have thought it was insane.
And the worst part, too, is like for the
C-section, like they dress you in
scrubs. So like they they like took her
back.
>> Like you work there.
>> Well, they took her they took her back
and they was just like, "Here, put this
[ __ ] on." And I'm like [ __ ] like,
"Okay." I'm like crying. I'm like I'm
like trying to put on my I'm just like
in the hallway dressed up like a nurse
just like where do I go?
>> Get back there. I'm like all right
[ __ ] sorry guys.
You never feel like more of a boob than
when your wife you know has a kid.
>> Just treat you like [ __ ] They really
they someone should do something about
it. You got to sleep on a shitty couch
the whole time.
>> Yeah. And there's really no You add
nothing to the
>> You literally nothing.
Oh god. You're you're just nothing. Like
everything you say is wrong. It's just
it's just it's just stand there, you
know.
>> I want to know what your bachelor party
look like. What does Joo's bachelor
party look like?
>> I don't think I I didn't even have one.
>> No bachelor party?
>> Yeah. I mean, my wife and I got married
in the San Diego courthouse, you know,
like on a Thursday afternoon.
>> I was wearing a t-shirt and a and a pair
of surf shorts and flip-flops and went
down, got married.
>> Minimum viable wedding. [ __ ] Who was
your best man?
>> Uh I didn't have a best man there. Just
like my platoon chief came down and was
like, "You have to bring a witness." So
I was like, "Hey, chief." And he's like,
"Yo." So we just went down there and got
it done.
>> Sorry. Sorry. Referring to your wedding.
Just went down there and got it done.
>> In and out.
>> Clear. You know what's really crazy?
>> We've been married for like almost 30
years.
>> Yeah. You know, it's like
>> unreal.
>> We didn't do this ceremony. She's Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> Who needs flowers?
>> Yeah. Me and my wife actually did it
during co same thing. We got a packet of
papers from city hall. Pennsylvania is
like a Quaker state technically. So we
did it's called a Quaker ceremony where
you just get the packets from the city
hall, bring it home, you sign it, you
have to give it like 48 hours and then
like your neighbor can come witness and
sign and then you're good to go.
>> Yeah.
>> Would you give it 48 hours for like to
let it cool just in case?
>> Yeah. Let it cool out. Yeah. It doesn't
just, you know, sober up.
>> It's not Vegas. You know what I mean?
We did do a we went to England and did
we I don't know what I don't know if
this is an official thing but they
called it a blessing where we did like a
a marriage thing in England where we
pretended like we were getting married
even though we were already married
>> and everyone knew that we were dressed
up and
>> Yeah, we dressed up and all that stuff.
>> Oh, it's like the ceremonial weighin.
>> Yeah, like a ceremonial weighin.
Exactly. We did the ceremonial even
though my wife was pregnant at the time,
you know,
>> which was same thing. We did we had a
party afterwards and she was pregnant
for
>> tier one
>> ceremonial wedding.
>> Yeah, we had
>> Yeah, you are tier one. We were both how
you do it. You go handle it. And then we
did we did the dog and pony show for the
civilians and
>> there you go.
>> It was the same exact thing. She was she
was pretty pregnant for the wedding.
Yeah.
>> Yeah. My wife was like kind of pregnant
for the wedding. You could tell. I could
tell. You can tell in the pictures.
You're kind of like, "Oh,
good to go."
>> Oh,
there we go.
>> Uh, has dating changed since you've
stopped drinking given that?
>> It sucks now.
>> Yeah.
>> Why women got ugly? the whole
>> is it the women got uglier for you go
who's this what's her name
>> uh yeah that it is way harder cuz like
drinking was is the easiest thing you
want to get drinks you want to go like
it's just the way and now like
>> you want to go in a coffee shop and both
get nervous in front of each other
>> exactly that's what it feels like I
literally I've been hanging out with
this this woman who I really like and
she's like
>> I literally texted her cuz it was just
not going well in the text you know
she's she's a girl I know from comedy
and and I It's like, "Hey, I think
you're really attractive and you're nice
to me. Like, would you like to go out?"
Like, I just had to eventually like just
be direct.
>> Yeah. Because I couldn't just be like,
"We're getting drinks after comedy." And
then we would have like flirted there
and then that would have went whatever
way it would have went.
>> It's like love on the spectrum right
away.
>> I'd like to see you.
>> It feels exactly like that. Yeah. And
then we watch anime and drink out and do
for dinner.
>> You're saying sober dating is like Love
on the Spectrum.
>> It is.
>> Okay.
>> Hard. It's not going well.
>> What do you think would happen if Love
on the Spectrum was done with booze
then? Would that just turn normal?
>> What do you mean? Like if
>> you saying it got them drunk?
>> Yeah, I think they can drink, can't
they?
>> They can.
Oh, yeah.
>> And they can order drinks.
>> That would be Yeah. You know,
>> we just If it's not spicy enough
already, we can just like throw a little
bit of boos into get this ad roll dealer
through.
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> Spike in the drinks. They go, "We didn't
even know it was going to
>> Yeah, it would it would devolve, I
think."
>> Yeah.
>> I think that's like That's like a very
heartwarming pure show.
>> I don't like it. I talk trash about it
all the time. Why? Why?
>> Oh, multiple reasons. This, you know,
>> what's the number one complaint?
>> Well, they don't pay them, first of all.
Two, everyone's watching it like we're
watching children dating. They go, "Oh,
isn't it cute?" It's very condescending
to look at grown-ups and be like, "Oh,
they're dating like we do, and like I I
wish for the best." It's very My biggest
problem with it is it's called Love on
the Spectrum, but they don't respect the
spectrum. They'll pick some guy who's
super high functioning and pair him with
some girl who's super not high
functioning and be like, "Maybe this is
a match." And then they're on the date
and he's like, "I think you're great and
I think you're wonderful and I think
you're awesome and I think you're
pretty. What about me?" And then she's
like, "Uh,
>> handsome." You're like, "That's not
perfect. It's perfect."
>> No, it's not perfect.
>> But my point is, I don't like it. I I
think everything
>> everything they're doing is like too
exploitive. I don't I don't think it's
good.
>> I was so ready to push back. I thought
it was going to be a really judgmental
take from you and it's it's really
convincing.
>> Yeah. Well, it's actually kind of
convincing.
>> It's so seducing them with celebrity
now. Now they like think they're famous.
The one famous couple already broke up.
She's on like everything now. It's just
It's too much.
>> Yeah, that's fair. Although, it's so
sweet though. Like, you're seeing them.
They're with their parents and like
they're like, "This never would have
happened." I don't know. I watch that.
>> He's doing the exact same thing you just
said.
>> That's what I'm saying.
>> But it's on report, bro.
>> Dude, they're living the dream, dude.
They're already fine. Leave them alone.
They don't need a wife. They're
frustrated. They're single. They want
They're so frustrated.
>> Why? Uh oh, here's another a part of it
that that is is like they have a
diagnosis, right? That that they don't
like bright lights and loud noises that
that the high pressure situations make
them buzz. And then we're like, "How
about uh how about we put them 10 camera
shoot on Netflix? How about we keep
interrupting them every 5 minutes on a
[ __ ] first date?" You're like, "Leave
them alone." If you want him to date,
that's fine, but maybe don't exploit
them on a television show. You know,
>> not paying him is crazy. I didn't James
has that. James, you know James, right?
>> Uh which one is that? the guy who goes
Renaissance Fair. He's got liquid. He's
got liquid.
>> I've seen every episode and I'm rooting
for them as humans. I'm saying that when
you watch the show, it feels a little
icky. But what about you got to push
past that. He's doing great. He's got
He's got He's got liquid death
sponsorship.
>> That is the most human answer I've ever
heard. What a great moment.
>> He's got liquid death.
>> Got to push back past that. Listen, he's
got swords.
>> Liquid death sponsorship.
>> He's got a liquid death sponsorship. I I
tried I watched tried started watching
an episode and I kind of I didn't you
articulated what I kind of felt when I
was watching. I was like this is just I
didn't feel good about myself watching I
watched like five minutes. I'm like okay
this is enough of this.
>> If you've ever saw a 40-year-old dating
another third like 45year-old or
whatever and you go isn't it cute. It's
like don't talk to him like that.
They're not [ __ ] These are these
are these are grown-ups with autism.
Like treat them like adults.
>> You would never go up to someone's table
and go oh are you two having a good
time? This is I really support this.
You're like, "Get the hell out of here."
Like it's it's it's mean. They're
they're adults. Treat them like
>> I watch it and I laugh the entire time.
Yeah.
>> And then I cry. They get me every time.
>> I like their directness. But that's just
autism. That has nothing to do with
dating.
>> It's so funny.
>> I also think that's what's going on
inside of every single person dating.
It's just doesn't come out the same way.
>> Yeah.
>> The people in love on a on the spectrum
don't have the filter that everybody
else puts on.
>> Yeah. And I like that point. But I like
that about autism. I don't need them to
be on a dating show to appreciate that
about
>> what would be great would be a Love on
the Spectrum Love Island crossover
episode.
>> That's what I'm saying.
>> Yeah.
>> Like 5050
>> to just throw a couple of grenades.
>> Would this be on Epstein's island or
what? Dude, this sounds really creepy.
>> He wants to watch and try to figure it
out, you know? Very
>> It's like traitor or whatever and it's
like trying to work out which but you
don't know.
>> Yeah. blood on the spectrum and you're
trying to work out which one has got
which
>> once you got people who are that hot you
throw some autism in there it's not you
know mentally you're in like thin air
you're thin air
>> I got to push past it
the liquid death sponsorship's just
whitening on the other side
>> hot chicks being like you're like really
funny
>> you know a lot about weapons
>> never knew that about medieval times.
>> Yeah.
>> Well, I just think also I mean it's just
I think that we've got this idea of like
romcoms and then that's what a
relationship is which I don't believe in
and so like to push that on autistic
people on the show cuz they're looking
for some sort of like notebook like
thing. I just it just feels like very
fraudulent.
>> Yeah.
>> Tell me if this sounds familiar. You
train regularly, you eat reasonably
well. You feel fine but you're just kind
of going off vibes. Most people have
absolutely no idea what's going on
inside their body. And that is why I
partnered with Function. Function gives
you access to more than 160 advanced lab
tests spanning hormones, heart health,
kidney function, and even detects early
signals linked to more than 50 types of
cancer. To put that in perspective, your
typical annual physical might test 20
markers. Function runs over 160. It's
huge. Best of all, you test twice a
year, and everything lives inside of a
simple dashboard. So, you track trends
over time, make sure you're moving in
the right direction. And this level of
testing would usually cost thousands,
but with function, it is $365 per year.
Just $1 a day to actually know what's
happening inside of your body. And right
now, you can get $25 off, bringing it
down to $340 bucks. Get the exact same
blood panels that I use and save $25 by

>> How do you view relationships? You you
are you no romance or like how do you
how do you think about romanticism
basically? Uh, I don't even know how to
answer that. I don't know. Like everyone
else, I'd like to find a partner. I
think it's good. I think it's healthy.
Yeah.
>> Well, you're both married with kids.
What advice have you got for Jeff on how
to find a good woman?
>> How old are you?
>> 43. Should have probably figured it out
by now.
>> Well, behind the power curve, as they
say. One of those late bloomers.
>> Do Do you uh Where do you find, you
know, where are you dating? Where you
where do you find your girls? I
apparently you found one from the comedy
scene.
>> Yeah. I mean, uh,
>> and you sent her weird autistic messages
already. You're saying
>> I like I like the way
>> like where Jeff gets arrested for going
to kids things. They just It's so
direct.
>> There's no fat on it when he talks about
my life.
>> What? You met a girl in comedy? You sent
her autistic text messages. Is that
where you're getting them, Jeff?
>> Military precision.
>> Use your power in.
>> Yeah, exactly. Would you find some
weakling that you could pick from the
pack? Um, so you know, I usually just
meet women on Instagram from like after
comedy shows and things.
>> That is a thing apparently though.
>> What
>> the girls after the shows?
>> Yeah. Or that you meet them at the like
after cuz now you know that they're
interested in you cuz they saw kind of
what you're about up there. They listen
to you talk for 70 minutes and they go,
"Oh, you know, they're interested."
>> Um, and then you can kind of figure it
out from there. Usually the comics go
somewhere after the clubs and all that
stuff. It's not a I wouldn't recommend
it. It hasn't worked out for me as far
as anything. I've had some some I I also
think you don't get things you don't
believe in. And I've been somewhat
skeptical of relationships and romance
in general. So um so maybe that's
>> how does the skepticism of romance and
relationship show up?
>> Um
what do you mean?
>> I don't know what that means.
>> Like they do you think that they're a
scop like that Joo's not actually
married or that Matt's like
>> No, no, no, no. I think it's fantastic.
I think that if you um love someone
enough, you got to kind of like
compromise a lot of stuff. That's what
being a man is. You kind of compromise
things. You say, "Hey, I can't go have
fun and be drunk guy, and I can't be
going doing this, and if I'm going to be
on the road, I need to kind of think
about how long I'm going to be on the
road." Whereas, I'm making all the
decisions for my career so I can have
more money and more friend time and
things like that. I've made a lot of
selfish decisions that wouldn't It's
like why I don't have a dog. I love
dogs. I can't think of anything I like
more. But if I was to have a dog right
now, I'd be a very selfish dog owner,
just letting him be at my house while
I'm gone forever. And so the same thing
is just kind of true with relationships.
I would love to be with a partner who's
awesome, who I love, and I really
believe in it. You want to
>> It's just that right now, well, it's
just right now it's like I don't know
how I'd be a good boyfriend, and I'll
figure it out, and I'll make sacrifices,
but I haven't found anybody worth making
that sacrifice for.
>> Mhm.
>> That's all.
>> I'm sure someone will come around and
I'll be like, "Holy shit." No. Okay.
Hey, I'll take this weekend off. Let's
go to Mexico. I mean, I've done it
before. You meet someone you love.
>> Dolphin ride.
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> Yeah. The chick that we rode dolphins
and I got an ectopic pregnancy with.
>> Yeah. Do you get lonely when you just
sit there?
>> Yeah. We're all lonely. I'm super
lonely. I don't think that has to do
with single guy. I think we're all
>> I've got I got a theory that single guys
after 7:00 p.m. in the house go
completely [ __ ] insane.
>> Absolutely.
>> Well, you nailed it. There is nothing
that single guys in the house can do
between the hours of like 7:00 p.m. and
11 p.m. that isn't [ __ ] weird.
>> Joe Joe Sandado was telling me one of
his one of his friends got out of a
relationship and started sending him
headstand videos.
>> Like are you doing headstands?
>> Yeah. Got into on YouTube.
>> It's like it's like needy time for bed.
Like what are you like doing stuff?
>> Why are you upside down? It's really
funny.
>> Guys, after 7:00 p.m. kind of go a bit
insane.
>> No, I think you're right. I think it's a
hilarious sentence, but I think it might
be something to it.
>> If you're not working and you're not
going out partying and doing stuff like,
"Oh, am I going to start doing like
emails at this time?"
>> I I sadly absolutely need a woman to
structure my life. Otherwise, it's just
I'm toast. I can't do it again.
>> Got so angry at this. There was We have
talked about this on the show before,
and women got really angry. I think what
they they thought it sounded like was uh
guys are unable to have hobbies and like
move themselves forward in life on an
evening time if they don't have a woman
with them. I think it's completely
different to that. I think it's we are
domesticated and civilized by women and
if left to our own devices do insane
stuff.
>> Sure. Like that's not like this is how
you get obsessed with like crypto or
like Warhammer 40k and stuff in like way
>> painting miniatures and collecting
wrestling toys, you know,
>> which is cool when you have room for it
in your life, but it's not the sort of
thing that you're supposed to do until 2
in the morning because it's like kind of
taken over you. It's like you need a
woman to go like, "Hey, hey, it's it's
it's bedtime.
>> I still need put Yeah, I need to be put
to bed. Seriously."
>> Yes.
>> I need someone to be like, "Bedime." And
I'm like, "Fine.
>> Thank God. I I I'll stay up I'll stay up
by myself.
>> That's what I do every night. Last I
knew I had to be up for a car service at
like 6 or was 6 LA time 8:00 here. And
uh I just watched YouTube. I watched the
first episode of Hard Knocks and I was
like nah [ __ ] it. I'll just stay away. I
was like if it's kid mentality of like
we can stay up as late as we want.
>> No one can tell me otherwise. Like I
need someone to tell me otherwise.
>> Yeah. But I don't I'm fine. I feel good.
I made my car service.
>> As a man who's famously up at 4:30 a.m.
a lot. Do you need someone to tell you
go to bed?
No, I mean I'm tired at the end of the
day. Go to bed.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. Not that big of a deal, I guess.
Um,
>> don't say [ __ ] Yeah. You don't go to
bed early. I'm saying I do what I want.
He's saying he does he does what he
wants. If I want to go to sleep, I will
go to sleep and if I don't, I'll [ __ ]
stay up. That's I don't need a gal to
go, "Hey, honey." No offense.
>> I need that. No, I need that, man.
>> I just don't uh I I would, you know,
>> civilizing force. Have you ever had any
conflict with the British misses around
the [ __ ]
>> No,
>> because you're a large
>> It's London time pretty much.
>> You're a You're a large man. I imagine
that you rolling out of bed.
>> No, she she's a she sleeps pretty
heavily, you know, and so I just get up
and
go go about my business.
>> Could you imagine how much harder your
marriage would have been with you up at
4:30 a.m. every single day if your wife
was a light sleeper?
>> Oh, yeah. That would that would be a
bummer. But, you know, Getting up
earlier than here? I don't understand
the question.
>> Is getting up early with while my wife
is still sleeping. So
>> famously wakes up at that that watch has
had to Oh, it's a new one.
>> No, it's Well, it's the same model. I
got about They re They reproduced them
now. So nice
>> because of you.
>> I don't know. Probably. Well, apparently
>> you must have How many How many photos
of your watch do you think you posted?
Thousands.
>> Yeah. Yeah, probably.
>> Thousands of photos. And it's always
like 4:15 a.m. 4 [ __ ] 29 a.m.
>> This picture's wife is as crazy as her
him. You know, she she's up before.
Yeah.
>> I will I what I've noticed is you have
to be up typically if you're living with
a woman, you should be up before her cuz
if they wake up I've been in a situation
where a girl has a job and I don't. Yes.
>> When they wake up for work and you're in
bed, they
>> resent you.
>> The huffs and puffs.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. It's they're real loud slamming
[ __ ]
>> Oh, there's vacuuming that needs to go.
If you're asleep and they're awake,
>> is there something going on there?
>> Yeah, they're like, I What the [ __ ] Get
up. Why am I up in your eyes?
>> This guy's protecting me and you're just
like,
>> "Oh, this is the one I chose."
>> You have a pillow between your knees.
>> Yeah. Oh, I remember. And I would I'm
like fake sleeping. I'm awake, but I'm
like I'm not moving. Just laying eyes.
The one I picked wearing a Razor Raone
tank top.
>> Not They're not a fan. Sucks.
>> You got to get up before him. Yeah.
>> Yeah. They're putting on like dress
clothes and you're just like farting
naked.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Hair's crazy.
>> Yeah. They are not They are not fans of
>> I think that's what it is about being
single that I like is that it's like
just you can do anything you want. And
that's a very selfish thing to say that
like I can just fly to wherever I want
or perform. I can say yes to any gig or
thing like that. And I think that like a
man with a partner doesn't do that. He
goes, "No, we got this. We need to plan
ahead. If I'm gonna do a thing, I can't
just leave my family for five weeks, you
know?
>> Same thing with the dog. Same thing.
>> Yeah. It's a little bit selfish, but
it's it's it's a lot easier. Or not a
lot easier, but it's it's a different
type of good. The grass is greener.
>> What's the weirdest date you've been on
since you've been sober?
>> Um,
I haven't done any dates really.
>> Yeah. Smashing Grabs.
>> His words, not mine. I actually hope you
have no female viewers. Not anymore.
>> Yeah, they're going to go this guy. He
sucks. No dates.
>> Yeah. Well, I MEAN, I GUESS THEY ARE
DATES. THEY'RE JUST not very formal.
It's not like we're going to like a
thing.
>> Just eating [ __ ] or whatever.
>> No. No. I mean, I guess Oh, I'll tell
you one. Here's one. We went to a movie
and dinner. That's a date, right? How
was it?
>> Uh God, it was not good.
>> You ever had a woman come out to, you
know, you can't go back to your house
and change? You know, you can't like she
came out of her house and I go, "Jesus,
I'm going to be walking around with
this."
>> What was the outfit?
>> She It was ridiculous. It was It was It
was like uh we were going to a swingers
party or something. I'm going now I have
to cuz I dress pretty, you know, cowboy
guy, you know? I was going She was
scanny clad. You're
>> saying very very revealing clothes.
Silky like little like one piece dress.
>> This was a problem for you.
>> No, it's not a problem necessarily if I
already loved her or something, but it's
a first date. We're look we're judging
each other, you know? It's kind of a
first date. So, I'm going I don't need
this, you know. But anyway, she gets in
my truck and we go and um the part that
made me think of it is we were watching
a movie called Back Rooms.
>> Now, the I won't spoil it for anybody
who hasn't seen Back Rooms. It's still
in theaters, whatever, but the idea is
that like you're trying to put together
what's happening as the movie's going.
So, I'm in. I'm all in. I'm like, "This
movie rules." And she keeps talking.
She's like, "This is this guy is I think
he's in this Heather movie." And I'm
like, "Yeah, he's in a lot of movies."
You know, and she just keeps talking and
I don't want her talking during the
movie. It's like I was with my niece or
something. I was just kind of like
trying to give her the signals, you
know, that I don't like it. After like
an hour into the movie, I'm liking the
movie. The movie rules. I'm excited. I'm
trying to figure out where it's going.
Also, all my friends saw it like the
night before. So, I'm excited to be able
to talk about the thing. And then she
goes, "This movie sucks. Let's leave."
And I was like, "God damn it." And so we
left. Never got to see the other half of
Back Rooms. And people like, "How was
it?" And I go, "I don't know. I saw the
beginning and I don't know." But I left
because I'm a good guy.
>> Did you pump? Did you
>> No, we didn't. Really?
>> I dropped off. I think it broke her mind
cuz women don't aren't used to offering
up themselves in in a vulnerable sexual
way with they're not they've never had
rejection. Men are pretty good at it. We
get rejected. We go, "Yeah, that's what
it's like to be a guy."
>> Yeah, you're right. Actually,
>> she's ne I don't think this very
beautiful woman. I don't like She was
like, "What?" Like she goes, "You don't
want to come in?" I was like, "No
thanks." It was nice and today was
great. And then she I lied. Tonight was
great. And then she's like, "Well, I can
come back to your I was like, "Nah, I
got to get up early." Which is not true
either.
>> Got to go watch the rest of this movie.
turning around and going back to back
rooms. Yeah.
>> Well, I think it broke her brain like
what is he what do you mean like like it
it doesn't go well for even like
whatever the woman looks like there 100%
of the time when they offer up sex like
there's takers you know so for so that
kind of rattled her I think but also I
was like I'm not we talked about this
last time like not being hot to trot
like if you're not ready if you get the
big call
>> and you're not ready whether it's
committed relationship or not it's like
a
>> there's some fallout.
>> What do you think she'd say if we heard
her side of the story?
>> Same thing.
I think she said the same thing.
>> But she'd be like, "Yeah." So he comes
out, gets out of the truck, like I'm
dressed up nice and he comes up looking
like a total
movie.
>> He's like, he's like all into this lame
movie.
>> Oh no.
>> We get back. He thinks he's going to get
me and I'm just like, "Oh, you can come
in if you want. Please say no. Please
say no. Please say no." Thank god he
said, you know, you want to know what
every girl has said about me that's
dated me? Cuz I don't think that girl
would say that. This is what a 100% of
every woman that's ever been around me
says. That guy won't shut the [ __ ] up.
That's all it is. I'm like my whole
jabbering yammering existence. I talk a
lot. Like I just I So if someone's with
me for longer than a month like this guy
just back rooms on repeat.
>> That's my biggest flaw. I can't be
quiet. I'm a talker.
>> Well, what what's your plan with Is it
just never going to happen again? Cuz
you got the [ __ ] You got the [ __ ] on
ice right now.
>> What does that mean?
>> You put it on ice. That's what you your
move what you did.
>> I would never talk to that story again.
That's why I don't mind telling that
story. Yeah.
>> I'm saying you got
>> I'm not interested.
>> You have it on ice right now.
>> Yeah. But I could I could tell after
hour one I was like this is going
nowhere. What? That's why wisely sleep.
>> Good for you. Especially you're not
drinking anymore cuz otherwise it might
be a little different.
>> Yeah, I know. When I was drinking like
there was a lot of casual sex. I don't
do that now.
>> Oh really?
>> I don't want to do that.
>> So you're just
>> Yeah,
>> that's nice.
>> Yeah, I think it's better. It keeps me
more level.
>> Yeah. you start hooking up and then
that's like just inviting these like um
kind of social entanglements into your
life cuz every once you sleep with a
girl she's she's like oh I know that guy
you know like now they got now they're
telling stories and
>> so now it's not c now it's not cual
>> yeah I don't want to do that
>> so how do you what's your threshold for
entering sexual
>> I think if I liked the chick I would
then I would yeah
>> it's casual
>> no but I mean if I meant if I'm like I
like her and I'm like I think I think I
want to
>> it's just not you're not doing it for
the sake of doing it
>> what's threshold if she's is into me
>> upright
>> if I like it
>> if she wants to.
>> Is this particularly bad in LA? Like I
imagine sceny like parties, people
talking, gossipy.
>> I think LA and New York are unique in
the fashion that like everyone is so
single for so long. It's more socially
acceptable to be single.
>> Yeah.
>> And so then that creates all these extra
problems. Also, dating is so complicated
already while it's ever changing. Yeah.
So now dating apps and social media and
climbing and do you follow them or do
they follow you back and it's just
become so it was already somewhat
complex and now you have like we've
normalized girls talking to a million
guys at once and being like well I'm not
sleeping with them. I'm just getting
there's just too many things where it's
ever changing that it's it's it's uh not
fun. And so I think most guys uh I'll
speak for the my friends and I I think
they just feel like defeated like or not
even defeated just like fatigued like we
don't want to deal with this [ __ ] So, I
just don't join in the reindeer games.
And then when a girl catches my eye that
I'm interested in, then I will pursue
her and I'll ask her out and I'll make
those sacrifices, which I've done
recently. There's a girl I kind of like.
>> So, yeah, it's been good.
>> I
>> Wait, are you married?
>> No.
>> Okay.
>> No, we talked about this before. The uh
like last chopper out of Saigon, like at
what point did it feel safe to do like
dating and then it it doesn't and you're
just like found the check [ __ ] 30
years ago. Everything worked out great
and I didn't need need to ever think
about it again. Must be so nice to have
just like shelved that part. Now I get
to focus on everything else including
building the family and having the dog
and doing the business.
>> Yeah. Yeah. No, this is definitely
making me feel like I made a good
decision.
>> No, you did. No, you know like a horror
adult.
>> Well, so sometimes like these guys will
see me doing like fun things or like
I'll have like a wild night or something
like that or at the golf tournament.
They're like you were with like a babe
last night or whatever and they're like
married guys. And I and I think that in
that moment they're going, "Man, this
seems pretty good." I go, "Yeah, last
night my life is way better than yours."
>> Yeah.
>> So, there's little moments where I do
get to win and you guys have like this
whatever. But trust me, if you found
someone you love, you're winning. That's
that's it. You the grass is greener over
there. I I'm lonely on Christmases. I'm
on airplanes alone. I'm on stage alone.
I'm on green rooms alone. I'm alone a
lot. I live alone. I think that there's
flashes of like this is way more
exciting. I'm on a jet ski. We look at
her. Blah blah blah. But I think that
like we're all trying to we're all
trying to find love except these
autistic kids
>> and you're doing headstands.
>> Uh some people are reportedly spending
up to $13,000 in an effort to reset
their body count to zero. Oh yeah.
>> A clinic in Brazil is offering him
reconstruction surgery with reports
claiming many of its patients are women
over 30 who want a fresh start before
entering a serious relationship or
marriage. Joo, you've got a very
different kind of body count. Would you
consider him highman surgery to reset
yours?
>> Well, I'm a man.
>> He doesn't have a highman.
>> You have a guy.
>> But you do have a very different kind of
body count to the ones that the girls
are going to go and do, right?
>> And neither one of them can reset it.
There's nothing in the world that can
reset either of those.
>> That's true. That's true. But that's
that's a thing. That's chicks going to
Brazil.
>> What a There we go.
>> What a scam.
>> Oh, that look what you talk. That's
that's
new chapter. That ought to delete
Justin's contact card out of your phone.
There you go. That's it.
>> I mean, 13 grand for
>> Oh, look. Look at that virgin.
>> There she is. She got some flower water
poured on her head. And now that means
she didn't bang Ricky.
>> Like what a dumb thing. This is such a
scam.
>> Yeah, that's pretty tough. They're like
that. Do you ever see the cacao
ceremonies people do? They like drink
hot chocolate and they're like, "Whoa,
I'm tripping." There's a real thing.
It's called cacao ceremonies. I haven't
seen that.
>> They like drink a lot of hot chocolate
and they're like, "Oh my god, my pineal
glands opening up and they like
>> Well, here's another thing. How high is
your body count that you're flying
there?
>> You eat enough cacao."
>> Like, how many dudes did you bang that
you needed to go to a Ruba or whatever
to get someone to pour water on your
head? Like it just kind of suggests that
you're a [ __ ] just doing this thing
like all right sorry I got to do a trip
I'm you know I got to reset my body
count like that's crazy.
>> Yeah.
>> You don't see to be exercised. I'm going
to Brazil to be exercised.
>> That's insane to me.
>> And I think it's a little but the cacao
thing the I've seen them in like uh Kuya
that that hot and cold place that's
here. They do these cacao things. I I do
look at it and sometimes think that's
just like a holix or like a Nesquick
like a hot chocolate.
>> It's probably nice to drink a hot
chocolate
drink and chat with your buddies.
>> What's this cacao ceremony?
>> It's just very funny.
>> Does that not look nice?
>> Just drinking. It's very nice.
>> To just break in there and bite him in
the face. You watch this and just go,
"What are we doing?"
>> I kind of like drink protein chocolate
protein all the time. I'm talking about
I'm talking about the T
>> and it makes me kind of feel like this
right now on
>> their head looks nice.
>> It does look nice. I'll be honest. But
>> this looks dumb as hell.
>> Here's the problem. It's like that'd be
a tough combo the entire time.
>> What would the hot chocolate
>> just hot chocolate talk with the dolph?
>> This doesn't make you mad.
>> No, me up. It's pissing me off.
>> Makes me laugh.
>> Look at them. I bet they're all in there
go. Oh, you know
>> this is a substance.
>> We don't have kids. Who needs kids?
Fight the patriarchy. Look at him.
>> Is that not like you though? Is that not
just the female version of you but with
hot chocolate?
>> No, that's not me, bro.
>> No,
>> it's ridiculous. I like the hot
chocolate. Don't get me wrong, that's
not what I'm judging. Dude, they
>> talking about them in a tent sitting
cross-legged and going like, "Hey, does
it next up is a slam poetry about race."
Like, what are we doing?
>> Yeah, that's a thing, man. That's a
>> cow.
>> It's like That's like the super light
psychedelic people go for. They go like,
"I'll do a cacao ceremony if you don't
want to do Yeah, I feel like I would do
that. I wouldn't do the psychedelic
thing, but I'd do the cacao ceremony. I
might do one this afternoon.
>> It would be nut chocolate.
>> We should have done it. We should have
started off with like ceremonial grade
cacao. Seen who got [ __ ] actually
Hunter Biden on Monday.
>> Yeah.
>> No, his threshold for anything is going
to be period cramps while you have some
hot cocoa.
>> You got to try and win the female
audience back somehow. You know what I
mean?
>> That's my bad.
>> God damn it.
>> Yeah, man.
>> What uh are you still on? Are you
weeding still? You still smoking or he's
cuz he did for a while, right?
>> Yeah, I did for like a really long time.
It naturally kind of just fell off
honestly.
>> So, it wasn't a get arrested cause of
catastrophe. I got a question for Matt.
You still drinking raw milk straight
from the
>> Absolutely.
>> Yeah, dude.
>> Absolutely. Are you against raw milk?
>> Not at all. Thought it was awesome. You
told me about it. I was like, I got to
try that.
>> It It rules.
>> The problem is you're against weed.
>> My commitment to like finding this
[ __ ] milk was not as committed as
yours. It's hard to farmers market. You
go to a farmers market. I don't even
never been to a farmers market in my
life.
>> That's crazy.
>> Those places piss me off, too. I go in,
I go, "What is all this dog shit?"
>> Farmers market.
>> Go to the store.
>> No.
>> You need the raw milk.
>> She's lab grown. You're eating lab grown
meat.
>> What the hell?
>> You eat the lab grown meat in
California?
>> I don't want to, but it's pretty easy to
get.
>> Probably there. Yeah.
>> What's What's the sales case for raw
milk?
>> You I have If I drink regular
pasteurized milk, I get congested. I
fart. Like I'm like lactose intolerant.
If I drink raw milk, no problem. You
strike me as a raw milk guy.
>> Yeah, we get some raw milk on.
>> It's awesome.
>> Yeah.
>> The only thing that sucks about is get
it goes bad really quick. You got you
gota you got to get really small
bottles.
>> So you get a bottle, just drink it
within an hour.
>> Yeah. No, you have you have like
>> going bad, honey.
>> You have six days to chug the gallon. I
just we we just
>> Six days is all right.
>> That's not bad for a gallon. Kill a
gallon in six days.
>> But yeah, the uh but yeah, the weed I
slow down, but it's always there. I tab
it when I need to. It doesn't agree with
me at all.
>> I hate weed.
>> It really doesn't agree with you.
>> So, why do you hate weed?
>> Just doesn't work for me. One, and then
two, I feel like it's a dreamer's
nightmare, you know? Like, all these
guys I know are chasing their dreams and
then they smoke weed and they just don't
do anything. They just sit around. They
were already kind of sitting around and
now they're just all sitting around
more.
>> I know so many people that smoke weed
and do all kinds of stuff.
>> That's good. I really The world is kind
of split into a few groups of people.
This is a kind of an interesting thing I
learned from a dude called Edward
Singleand. wrote a book about alcohol
and one of the reasons that alcohol got
spread so wide uh civilizationally is
that it's very reliable how it affects
people like you drunk
>> is pretty similar to the sensation of me
drunk is pretty similar even if your
behavior is a bit different the
sensation is kind of the same but one
person that smokes weed gets horny one
person gets sleepy one person gets
creative one person gets forgetful and
lazy and it's like the fact that it's so
varied means that it's kind of a bit of
a shitty drug to do together cuz
everyone's going off in [ __ ]
different
>> side or hard to understand why I would
not like it and he would like it. Why
don't you like it? I'm going It's
terrible when I do it. You don't want to
be around me when you
>> I freak out still a lot, but it's kind
of once you like figure
>> ride that wave down. I will say I think
mushrooms are way better than
>> I love mushrooms.
>> Mushrooms rule. I would say mushrooms.
>> Mushrooms. We should do mushrooms and
run a marathon after this. We should all
>> actually be awesome. That would be
awesome. Rock and roll. Get some cacao
and some miles in it.
And that'll reset our [ __ ]
>> That's weird though, the alcohol thing.
Like I know people that when they get
when they drink they get they're crying
in the corner about I know some other
dude's going to fight everybody. Someone
else is laughing. Someone else gets
super social. Like that seems a little
bit strange to me to hear that.
>> Yeah, that was his argument. I I think
the sensation is at least the same for
most people. Maybe their behavior
changes.
>> Um but you you are right. I mean I ran
nightclubs for a decade and a half,
right? I saw a million people on the
front door of nightclubs and you see
every different version of like
>> inner child demon come back out like my
we had this pick this is kind of
interesting for anyone that still works
in nightife or in in hospitality. If a
girl walks into a venue, a late night
venue, usually after 10 or 11 p.m.,
wearing a jacket of some kind, maybe a
denim jacket or a leather jacket, one of
those like suit jacket things, and she
doesn't have her arms in the sleeves,
>> 70 to 80% chance she's going to get
thrown out within the next hour. Like,
they were always, every single time that
they went in, they were the ones that
would like swill someone, throw a drink
on someone. It's kind of like the cut
off leather jacket like
>> sort of smoking kid in high school. It
was just every single time it became a
meme and we didn't even know why. We
just kind of started to select this
thing and we'd be like do jacket
>> something about sleeves hell's angels
never
>> sure enough sure enough [ __ ] 45
minutes later she's thrown a drink over
someone that [ __ ] over there she slept
she that [ __ ] sl before you know it
the doorstep like you know like an
unwieldy cat like picked her up like
this.
>> Yeah. You have to you have to as a
bouncer you have to like fold women's
arms across their chest them on your
head elbow.
>> Just got to strike first.
>> Slap him with a period cramp simulator
in there.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Triple disable uppercut.
>> Yeah. Well, the the bell curve for
alcohol probably is there's probably is
there's outliers, but there probably is
way more of just people.
>> It's a good way to put it.
>> Yeah, I think that's true. Weed weed in
a crowd of people who are all high is
like 50% of people are dipping off
stuff. It's not really a good crowd
thing. I'd like to know who runs PR for
marijuana because like when I say I
don't want to do drugs anymore, people
are like, "Oh, you must have a problem."
Or, "I don't want to drink." They go,
"Who cares?" The second I push back
against marijuana, everyone's like,
"Dude, what are you talking about, man?
You just got to try a different strand."
And like, "Well, well, what happened?"
And how many times have you tried? I'm
like, "Dude, I just don't want to
[ __ ] do it, dude. It's not good." And
then everyone just keeps pushing it on
me. Alcohol is the Alcohol is the same,
though. Everyone who drinks is like,
"Come on, man. Have a drink."
>> Well, they want to drink with you. They
want your company.
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> It's the only drug where if you don't do
it, people assume you have a problem.
>> Yeah.
>> Hey, dude. Why you not Why you not
shooting up crack tonight? Why? What's
wrong with you?
>> Just do a little.
>> Yeah. Just It's a Tuesday. Just do a
little heroin.
>> I've heard that people who start
shooting heroin, there is a big thing
where they're trying to get other people
to start shooting heroin, too, because
then they get to be the guy who gets you
heroin. Now, they're like a middleman,
so they can do free heroin. But they're
bad salesmen cuz they're all like over
and you're like I can't trust
>> I used to I used to work with this guy
and he had just he would just be
sweating all he was shooting heroin all
the time.
>> He could be like me
>> sweating all the time and he'd be like
dude honestly if you shot one bag you'd
be partying and like dude it was he was
living in this like pretty [ __ ] up
thing and his like girlfriend was there
just on a mattress when you'd walk in
and you just be like he he was like kind
of tricking her out too and it was just
kind of like h I think I'm all right. I
think I'm going steer clear of joining
your
>> the man of the people.
>> So have you ever heard Hunter Biden talk
about crack? Yeah, I saw that.
>> I was sent you the clip earlier on
today. Like what is that?
>> It is just the best ad read for crack
I've ever heard in my entire life. He
makes sound [ __ ] awesome.
>> There's a comic named Jimmy uh who is
one of my favorite people in Cleveland.
He's the best. And he said he did crack
one time and cuz he does all the drugs
and then one night he's just on one so
he's like [ __ ] it, I'll try. and bought
it from like a homeless guy and he said
it felt so good that he started to walk
to his bank account like I'm going to
take all of my money and just get as
much of this. The first time he ever did
it, but he passed out on the way to like
the ATM and just slept like on the
street like get he goes, but I'm just
telling you the sensation that I felt
>> was the greatest thing I've I've ever
felt in my life. And like that's how
addicting it is. One of my neighbors
nephews told he was a methhead and ended
up going to jail and he did seven years
in jail and he got out. He was just
talking to me about and he said he tried
meth for the first time. He goes, "As
soon as I tried it, it was the only
thing I ever wanted to do for the rest
of my life."
>> It's crazy.
>> And he did he burned like every bridge
in, you know, in in his neighborhood and
his whole family and then the next city
and he ended up going all over America
until he eventually got busted in Texas.
Crazy. Yeah. D Wild weird keyhole in the
back of some people's brains or systems
or whatever and just the right drug just
>> like
>> [ __ ] explosion like it's the rest of
your life just falls apart.
>> Yeah,
>> that's how opiates are for some people.
I remember I tried like percoetses and
stuff and was like
>> that like a painkiller.
>> Yeah. I was like not really for me. I
was like I don't understand these
things. I know people tried them. It was
that was it. They were just like this is
it. Yeah.
>> This uh 70 stuff. Yeah.
>> Is seven hydroxyragenine
something. I watched Hamilton Morris,
the dude that used to do the Vice
documentaries about drugs. He did this
breakdown of of what was going on with
it. It's being used to get people off
opiates, but it's they're also sold in
gummy bears at gas stations.
>> It's based. Yeah.
>> It's like pressed. It's like It's like,
you know, like tran is fentinol's
fentinol.
>> Uh it's this but legal. And the [ __ ]
shell garage on South Lamar has just got
stacks and stacks. And so there's cratom
and then there's the 70 bills and then
bills.
>> Will it impair you if you drive? Like is
it I don't understand how 13 times I
think more stronger than morphine.
>> They're selling it at the 7-Eleven.
>> Yep.
>> And then it's called it's like per like
PR KS.
>> I think they're illegal now. I think
they're making them illegal.
>> Yeah. Trying to Yeah. Right now
>> they're like apparently I I think
they're I swear to God like
>> I think it's maybe even today that
they're trying to pass the
>> vape shops are crushed between the THCA
or what is it delta 8 THC that now if
you get call it delta 8 in Texas you go
to jail for like five five years.
>> What's that a strong form of THC?
>> Not even but it's like the synthetic THC
stuff that they were selling in vape
shops and uh now all that stuff's like
super illegal in Texas. Like a vape
cartridge I think a vape cartridge is
like 5 years. What they kept on doing
was basically adding some new molecule.
We're going to change this one bond and
this one bond and it doesn't affect
anything to do with how your body
interacts with it. Delta 9, delta 10,
delta 11. It just keep on running away
and the legislation can't catch up
quickly enough. And
>> what's going on with this world?
>> It was the farm bill. The farm bill said
farm bill that people you like you could
grow CBD basically which like hemp is
weed. The same things. It's just like
you can kind of you know curate it to
have different canabo or whatever
canabonoids. So you can grow weed with
THC, that's weed. If you grow weed with
CBD, it's hemp. It's like, you know,
it's it's the same exact plant, but then
you could do the thing where if you take
every CBD plant has like 3% THC, but if
you grow a whole field of it, you could
isolate all that THC and get like
thousands of grams of just pure THC. And
that was technically legal to then make
drinks with. So then they did a thing
where you could have weed with THCA,
which is just regular weed. When you
heat THCA, it turns into THC. That's
like when you decaroxulate weed to make
brownies or whatever, you have to heat
it up and the carbon molecule, whatever.
And the uh so they were just selling
THCA weed. It was just weed legally for
like three years due to the hemp farm
bill that was federally legal.
>> That's why
>> weed was legal for four years basically
and then they just I think they're
repealing
>> changes. Have you been to Amsterdam and
had the uh So, they've got mushrooms,
which is what grows above
>> ground, and then truffles. Yeah.
>> Which is the root system, and it's just
the same thing,
>> but they legislated what was above
ground.
>> And hey, if you eat
>> I like those kind of rules.
>> Top part, pal.
>> Yeah, that bottom part.
>> The funny with the farm bill, it became
that the US Department of Agriculture
was overlooking weed grows for like four
years. So you could literally grow weed
and a guy from the US Department of
Agriculture would be like, "Yeah, it
looks good." There was no It wasn't They
should have like the DEA, someone
regulate, it was weed was unregulated
for like four years.
>> Some guy that knows fertilizer and crop
rotation.
>> Combine Harvest is very nice.
>> Yeah. I had to take a selfie just to
watch porn last night.
>> Oh, you did it? Oh, because you're in
Texas.
>> Yeah. Texas guy. You got to have You're
an adult.
>> No.
>> Yeah, I did it.
>> Well, like on your phone.
>> Took a selfie. Yeah. It said, "Hey, but
take a selfie." That's
>> take a dickpick. True.
>> No, I didn't. I'm in some database now
where they go, but this this selfie go
he goes, "Oh, he's old enough." And then
>> cuz that's not the case. And that's a
real thing. I'm not making that up.
>> Your political enemies are going to use
that. You're in the [ __ ]
>> Well, I looked at the DC.
>> Sorry guys. Then I looked at porn.
>> You're in the D.
>> Guess I'm a terrible guy now.
>> We did do it on the 20th floor with
>> 15 days straight.
>> You might look at some porn. Sorry guys.
>> You're in Texas for 15 days.
>> No, I was just saying I was alone for 15
days. Ah, I see.
>> Yeah.
>> What are you doing in town? What what's
what else is going on?
>> I've got mothership shows uh all
weekend.
>> Unreal.
>> But then I just been doing shooting guns
and hanging out with friends and
>> dropping into Joo as well.
>> That's it.
>> Can you tell us about Can you tell that
story about the huge [ __ ] off sniper
rifle thing again? That was so good.
>> Uh so somebody made a sniper rifle to to
see if this was a good idea. And I want
to say it was either 20 mm or 25 I think
it was a 25 mm sniper rifle. and they
brought it up to our sniper school and
they wanted to see if this like it was a
viable idea. So 25 millimeter is
massive. This is a massive freaking
bullet and this uh they start giving it
to the students to see if they can hit
anything. Well, you're you're like
bracing for for that thing to go off and
no one could shoot it properly and you
know guy might hit the target one time
and then they're just so petrified to
pull the trigger again. They'd miss and
they would just be like, "Hey, I'm not
shooting this anymore." And so I have a
buddy who was the senior guy that was in
charge of the sniper school who is one
hard hard individual and little crazy
and no one could make this gun work. And
then finally he's like, "All right, give
it to me." And he sat down and just like
gritted his teeth and just cracked off a
round, hit the target, just sucked it
up, cracked off another round, hit the
target again, cracked off three. That's
like a normal three round group. Puts it
all on target. and the people that had
manufactured this weapon like, "Oh my
gosh, it's a viable option." And he just
got up and was like, "Do not make this
weapon." It was just so crazy. But
>> a testament to that dude who is like
just a hard crazy
>> I'm like that dude. Yeah. He's like the
guy one of the guys we were talking
about earlier like Yeah. You know, you
he he would need an outlet. You know
what I mean? But that's exactly who you
want in war. Like somebody that'd be
like, "Oh, you want no one can do this.
Go watch this. I'll do it. I'll I'll
take whatever concussive
impact there is to the shooting this
thing. I'll do it.
>> What is it that's happening if you fire
a gun that's that big? Is it just the
shock wave? Is it the fact that it's
hitting you in the body? Like what
where's the
>> Yeah. The worst thing is the shock wave.
Like the shock wave, that concussive
wave that you're going to get over your
head, you know, is going to be it's
going to be gnarly.
>> Like just sickness, disorienting little
like microbes.
>> It's like getting cracked in the head.
You when you spar and you get somebody
cracks you and you're like, "Oh, you see
that little white flash?" And you can
still power through it like he did. And
then you take another, you know, crack
to the head and you're like, "Okay, I
can power through."
>> You that's cracking you to the head.
>> Yeah. You're cracking the trigger of
this thing.
>> And then the next day you're like, "Wow,
I wonder why I have this headache."
>> Oh, yeah.
>> I can't remember the last day.
>> Exactly.
>> Is that not You know, when guys have got
huge cannons and they're like in World
War II and stuff like that. Would that
not have been that time?
>> Totally. Totally. Yeah.
>> Would it affect a dolphin's brain the
same as it would?
>> Possibly. Possibly. I don't know.
Depends on who's riding the things back.
[ __ ] swimming around going out of the
shock is what hurts the worst
>> after like after picking mines off the
straight news. Yeah, probably.
>> I always think about seeing World War II
[ __ ] when the guys are just loading huge
shells in and then they've got a like a
>> bathroom light switch pole.
>> Yep. They didn't even wear hearing
protection either. Like they didn't wear
hearing protection. They just just got
some.
>> Yeah.
>> I thought about that today when I was
shooting it just about how much my
grandpa would have loved just the
technology that was in the scope. Yeah,
>> the scope alone I was like this is I
mean I'm nailing it because the scope is
so accurate and whatever. It's like they
they didn't have any of that, you know?
They shooting stuff.
>> What's the truth around there these
rumors? I don't know whether it was
World War II or Vietnam or whatever. The
number of soldiers that never fired
their weapon directly at the enemy.
>> Yeah.
>> Is that Did that ever get debunked or
whatever?
>> Yeah, it got debunked. So there's a guy
named SLA Marshall who wrote this book
and wrote these theories about how and
he went around and interviewed soldiers
and it turns out, you know, it wasn't
true. You know, like he used it and it's
kind of he had the hypothesis going into
it, but it wasn't true.
>> And the theory was that maybe people on
one side of the battle were not prepared
to try and fire the weapon at
>> the the theory was like it's such an
abhorent thing for humans to like shoot
a weapon at other humans that they just
would get to that point and they go, I I
can't do it. And you know the the number
was like 10% of only 10% of the troops
involved in direct combat would actually
engage the enemy. And so that's when
they started using man-shaped
silhouettes to shoot at for targets and
and even putting like pictures. So
you're get oh they're going to condition
these guys to be able to shoot you know
at manshaped targets because they said
they needed that kind of conditioning.
But again the guy SLA Marshall he was
you know he was like a reservist and he
was a he was a journalist in his regular
life. So it was kind of him, you know,
hyping up a story and publishing. Yeah.
Sensationalism. Also pretty nuts to
explain like World War II casualty
numbers. Be like, "Yeah, it's just 10%
of the guys."
>> Yeah.
>> But yeah, imagine if everybody else had
decided to fire just been no one left.
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> Yeah. That's pretty nuts.
>> Yeah. And he he kind of he also made
some stories up about how much he had
been in combat in World War I. So it was
the whole thing and he had a lot of
clout inside the military, you know, he
had a lot of clout from that, you know,
he he wrote that that theory. He wrote
another theory about how much weight
guys can carry. That was a little bit
more realistic. But yeah, so it's a
little bit debunked.
>> What happens to guys like that? Is he on
like a list right now or is like people
want to kill that guy? You know, when
someone starts publishing [ __ ] and
making things up, it must piss you off.
>> Yeah, I think it pisses everyone off.
That's my point. That's a good It's kind
of the the rule is the code.
>> Yeah. Like hey, don't try and make
yourself into something that you
weren't, you know? And and generally
speaking, it's like, oh, you're in the
military. Good job. Thank you for your
service. Whe, you know, there's a whole
spectrum of things that you could do.
Everyone from being a a supply clerk to
somebody that's on the front lines, you
know, get in direct combat. And it's
like, yeah, everyone did their part.
Thank you for doing your part.
>> Where people get into trouble is when
they make it out to seem as if they did
more than they actually Yeah. So,
>> yeah. Also,
>> so one time I was at Top Golf and my
friend Josh Nelson
>> for a $6 discount, they go, "Are you a
veteran or a senior citizen or
whatever?" Yeah. For stolen valor,
>> he said I was He said that he was a
veteran and he got six bucks off.
>> Yeah. I'm coming for you. What's his
name? Jeff. Josh Nelson.
>> Josh Nelson. 25 mm rifle. Dude,
>> six bucks. Josh, was it worth it?
>> He's probably getting the Chili the the
the Chili's discount everything.
>> Yeah. Well, she just goes, "Are you a
senior citizen or a veteran or whatever
the third thing was?" And he goes,
"Yes."
>> You know, so maybe he was stealing valor
from the old people or the students. But
I took it as a
>> as an insult to my man here. So Josh,
watch your [ __ ] back.
>> What are the best privileges vet veteran
privileges that you get? I always hear
that you can active military gets on the
plane first. That seems pretty [ __ ]
cool.
>> Not even first though. I think concierge
key gets on before the military. I swear
to God, I don't think they're first.
>> We can only get concierge key if you're
a veteran.
>> I don't think so.
>> I don't know what that is. What is that?
>> Uh I don't know. Some like super skyion
>> cuz I remember I I could be wrong, but
I'm almost positive it's not military
first. It's like I swear to God it's
like it's like Sky or something.
>> It's some [ __ ]
>> I swear to God.
>> If you have a black I could be wrong,
but I I'm
>> I think I think I I think you're wrong.
I think you might be wrong. I think I
think active duty military goes first. I
think that is who goes first. They go
right after the pre-boarding.
>> Okay.
>> And then it's like
>> disabled people, people that need
wheelchairs and assistance and then Here
we go. What order does the military get
let on in planes? Depends on the
airlines. Passengers needing extra
assistance. Active duty.
>> Yep.
>> Why would wheelchairs be before active
military?
>> Cuz you got to It takes a while. It
takes a while.
>> Yeah, but [ __ ] them.
>> That's better than What are we talking
about? They're already sitting. They're
relaxed. very judgmental for the people
that have got disabilities today. What
else do you get? What else?
>> Probably quite quite frankly the
probably the best one of the best
benefits that you get from the military
is the VA loan. So you get a loan to buy
a house and it's no money down.
>> So that's that's pretty awesome. Yeah.
>> How does that work?
>> You just, you know, you get a VA loan.
So if you were going to buy a
>> VA, sorry,
>> Veterans Administration. So if you're
going to buy a $300,000 house, instead
of having to come up with whatever 10%
or 20% to put down on that, you can just
get a VA loan. you it's all you can
borrow all that money.
>> Cool.
>> So yeah whenever you want it makes that
first well not whenever you want. You'll
have a mortgage but but uh
>> the loan bit right
>> yeah the loan it's just a normal
mortgage but yeah that's that's a cool
thing. There's a bunch of good benefits
uh you know the the health benefits that
you get for the rest of your life which
you know people have different
experiences with the VA. There's there's
it's somewhat socialized medicine which
as you know being from England is not
always the best thing but since it is
America and we try and take care of our
veterans some people depending it's a
lot of it is like almost like a
franchise you know you go to some
franchise and it's pretty good to go and
you go to another franchise and it's
not. So there's some of that with the VA
where depending on where you are and
what the VA is like in your city or in
your town it can be pretty good or it
can be pretty bad. So there's, you know,
obviously that's a a great thing, the
health benefits that you get from it.
>> Um, you get, you know, money for college
if you want to go to college or you can
pass on to your kids if if you want to
do that. So yeah, there's a bunch of
good I mean there's a bunch of really
good benefits from being in the military
and obviously I love being in the
military. So I'll say all kinds of good
stuff about it.
>> The UK the biggest difference that I've
seen from going UK to US from the
military side is how much reverence
there is for veterans. Like it's almost
to be honest kind of looked down on a
little in the UK if you were really
Yeah. I mean maybe not if you went to
Sanders and did the officer thing in the
track, but it's just seen as you didn't
choose to have a more refined. It's very
I have it feels very icky like it
doesn't feel like the same kind of uh
pedestalization like upholding the the
sanctity of protecting the country and
doing the thing. That's kind of crazy
considering the proud tradition of the
British military.
>> There is no getting on the plane first.
I've I mean maybe you get a discount in
Nando for 10% or something, but
>> Top Golf really
>> just Top Golf Top Golf UK. Um, it just
it's not got the same I mean and I was
wearing some Black Rifle coffee t-shirt
a couple years ago and there's that
>> trib blend military green thing and I
think on all of their t-shirts they've
got the flag on the arm and it's just
it's got a reaper on the front of it and
some older guy on a plane that was sat
toward the front. So I walked past. So
I'm being sort of shunted along. I'm in
with the like cabin class going toward
the back and I can't slow down. And he
goes, "Thank you for your service." And
I'm like, "But no, it's not. I'm really
I'm English and I didn't wasn't a I'm
like, you know, like I stole Valor like
passively or like he threw."
He sort of threw valor at me, which I
think is different. And I'm like, I
can't put this down. I'm like trying to
bat it away.
>> Dude, if I serve food in the military
and someone even hinted towards me being
in combat, I'd be like, I don't talk
about it. Yeah, I know this about
myself. I know this about myself. I
would have 100% do that. And I hate that
about myself, but I would definitely do
that.
>> I don't like this.
>> I wouldn't say anything. I would be
like,
>> uh, guys like these, you know what I'm
saying?
>> I'm just honest. I'm just being honest.
If someone were to give me credit like
that, I wouldn't be like, well,
actually, I'd be like, you know, we all
played our part. It's actually I'll talk
to guys or guys will ask me guys that
were in the military like before
September 11th after Vietnam before
September 11th they did whatever 1994 to
1999 and they feel so bad and so guilty
that they didn't serve in combat and you
know I always tell them hey you did what
your country needed you to do at the
time you know like thank you for your
service and that's but but guys do feel
guilty about that
>> what was happening then from a military
perspective
yeah I mean I was in the entire '90s and
we didn't do barely anything we did like
shipboardings over in the Persian Gulf,
people that were smuggling whatever
stuff in and out of Iraq. So, we did
shipboardings over there to like get
control of those vessels. But that was
pretty much like the real the real
missions that we were doing at the time
and it was just not that big of a deal.
>> So, what happens when 2001 comes along?
Like what what did that feel like to go
from seeing this period of relative I
mean as peaceful as the [ __ ] military
with guns can be I suppose
>> very peaceful
>> and then there is a very large or two
very large pistols that get
>> Yeah. No it was it was uh total totally
different. Yeah. Total game changer for
everybody. Yeah. Overnight.
>> What was waking up midepptember like?
>> Um well we just knew. I mean everybody
knew that we were going to war. Now, if
you would have asked me at the time,
would we be you're going to be at war
for two decades? I wouldn't have thought
that. We all thought that much like some
of the other sort of operations that had
taken place, whether it's Panama or
Grenada, something like that, these
things lasted a few days, even the first
Gulf War over in 72 hours. I was so I
was the the Navy had sent me to college
at the time. So, I was in college and I
was all distraught because I thought I
was going to miss this war. You know, I
want to be a commander my whole life.
you know, there's nothing going on in
the 90s when I'm in I know that we're
all going to war and it's probably going
to be over very shortly and I'm not
going to be a part of it. So, I actually
called the guy that was in charge of
assigning us to where whatever SEAL team
you're going to go to and I said, "Hey,
sir, you know, please get me out of
here. Send me back to a SEAL team. I'll
finish college later." And he he said,
"Hey, this is going to last a long
time." And I didn't believe him. He
goes, "This is going to last a really
long time." And I was like, "No, it's
not." He goes, "I finish college and
I'll get you to a team." And sure
enough, I mean, he got me to a team a
little while later and sure enough, he
got me to a team that was deploying
next, luckily, thankfully, to Iraq. But
even my first deployment to Iraq, I
thought, "Oh, this is going to be over."
You know, we'll be I'm so lucky I'm get
to be here and do do my job for 6 months
right now cuz it's probably going to be
over. Then probably that was 2003, 2004.
Now we get into 2005, you start saying,
"Oh, this is going to be on for a long
time." And then, you know, it lasted for
two decades. When did you realize that
it was going to be more than just a
couple of a couple of years?
>> I would say the middle of 2005. That's
when the news you started really hearing
the shift in the news that they were
saying that this is an insurgency now.
You know, as opposed to just a regime,
hey, we're going to take out the regime
and walk away, which could we could have
done, but instead now we're going to
stay there. We're going to try and turn
them into, you know, a de a democratic
country. It's like,
>> okay, that might not be a great idea.
Okay. And now you start to have the
insurgency which is al-Qaeda leadership
starts coming in from other countries
and they're starting to run and direct
and finance operations inside Iraq and
the local populace again you know
there's so many complexities to this but
you know the the the the Shia are the
majority people there and it's been run
by the Sunnis for a long time so it
doesn't take much to sort of spark a
spark friction between those two
elements because they already have bad
blood between each other and of Of
course, they al-Qaeda doesn't want
America to have any success over there.
So, they do their best to spark that
conflict between the Sunnis and the
Shia. It's a disaster. Yeah.
>> Well, 9/11 is maybe second only to the
atomic bombs is like very small period
of time that just totally changed the
course of the future.
>> Yeah. Yeah. For sure. For sure. Um and I
would say even the atomic bombs were
less because that that was you know the
direction that we were going in. we were
going in that direction. If we would
have if we didn't have atomic bombs that
time, we would have landed on mainland
Japan and we would have we would have
been a costly victory, but we were going
to win.
>> So, I would say that yeah, 911 was even
more of a radical
>> such a left turn.
>> Yeah. Such a left turn.
>> Were you more Sunni or Shia?
>> So, it depends on how you look at it.
the the the Sunnis and the Shia, you
know, it's it's one of those scenarios
where we worked alongside the Sunnis,
but the Shia made up the vast majority
of the army of the of the Iraqi army.
So, you kind of had to, you know, you
kind of had to do both. You kind of had
to get get along with both of them.
>> Reasonable.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. Both guy.
>> Yeah. You kind of got to get along with
both.
>> It's [ __ ] crazy, dude. I mean, it's
25th anniversary is in a month.
>> Yeah.
>> What? for 911. I don't know. It's called
an anniversary of of a tragedy. What
What would you call it?
>> Maybe birthday.
>> Memorial.
>> Maybe memorial.
>> Just call it 25 by 250.
>> Yeah. Okay. like Americ
was the back end of uh 21 and uh I was
watching these awesome documentaries
Netflix did just the be like the archive
footage even though you've got such a
constrained amount they keep on finding
or being able to remaster or make stuff
a little bit better
>> and uh this is as I'm sort of dreaming
of coming out to America and when you're
anywhere that hasn't been involved in
living in Manhattan thinking about it it
almost feels unreal It's like watching
somebody play a video game kind of and
because it's such a insane city and the
density is so high and then obviously
the instance just like so crazy. And now
that I've spent time, lots of time in
New York and I [ __ ] love Manhattan. I
think it's so cool. Thinking about that
thing happening like that actually
happened.
>> Mhm.
>> In a city that I'd spent tons of time in
that I've walked around Freedom Tower.
I've seen, you know, ground zero, all
that stuff.
That must have just been for the people
that were there, that must have been
like
one of the most across all of human
history. Like,
what other days have been more insane to
have seen something like that happen?
>> Yeah.
>> So crazy.
>> Yeah. Seeing a plane crash into a
[ __ ] building.
>> Yeah. That's crazy.
>> Yeah. And I I mean, obviously, Pearl
Harbor was a huge was a huge impact as
well, but again, that we were leaning in
that direction anyways. you know, was
like there's a lot of isolationists in
America obviously during that time, but
you know, there was also people that
were like, "Hey, we got to do
something."
>> And that that tipped the scales, but
yeah, 911 was just, you know, we were
all just
>> carrying on with normal stuff.
>> Was it like a
>> and then boom,
>> a shocking incident at Pearl Harbor and
with the atomic bombs, but not a
shocking trajectory. This was a total
just
>> like off-road left turn thing. So, yeah,
it's it's wild. That being said, I I
it's so fascinating to see now in
retrospect what that did. It changed
travel. It changed the entire sort of
geopolitical landscape. It
>> Yeah. I I wonder how different the world
would be if that if that hadn't
happened. It would be like literally a
different [ __ ] universe.
>> Different universe. Yeah. I mean, my
life obviously everybody that I know
would, you know, who knows what their
lives would be like.
>> Mhm. You'd have still been in college.
Maybe
>> still
just kidding.
>> Do you guys know anyone that was that
during in Manhattan during
>> The only story I've heard is that uh Do
you know Lewis J. Gomez? Yeah. Comedian.
He rollerbladed away.
>> He was on rollerblades and he
rollerbladed like away from New York
City.
>> Faster than he's ever rollerbladed.
>> It's a true story. Apparently he like he
wasn't like at ground zero, but he was
there when it got impacted and he just
>> Wheelies could have helped.
>> Wheelies could have helped. He had
roller blade. He apparently rollerbladed
>> like super far. was like ah just
rollerbladed away
>> speed skating away from it.
>> It's one of my I mean I like the idea.
>> Talk about PT PTSD. You know it's like
the big biggest day in history when you
get caught on roller skates.
>> It's like a bad dream.
>> What a nightmare.
>> Oh my.
>> Where were you in like I don't know just
rollerblading around
>> you know
>> having knee pads on and elbow pads and a
helmet.
>> Race guards.
>> Yeah.
>> But you are safe. You know, Michael
Jackson was supposed to have a meeting
on the top of one of the Twin Towers on
911, but he slept in.
>> Can we confirm this?
>> Sounds like some [ __ ] Michael,
>> let me give you an even better one. Let
me give you an even [ __ ] better boy
that was never there.
>> Seth McFaran, guy that uh started Family
Guy, was supposed to get on a flight on
the morning of 9/11 and his assistant
misooked the time on his schedule. He
arrived at the airport but missed the
plane. The plane left.
>> That was the plane that hit the South
Tower.
>> Really? Yeah. So, he bought his
assistant uh Rolls-Royce as a thank you
for having gotten him late. It might be
the very only uh Michael Jackson was
definitely in New York City. The answer
is possibly, but not definitely
established.
His brother said in his memoir and in
interviews, "Michael was scheduled to
attend meetings at the World Trade
Center that morning, but overslept."
That looks good enough for me.
>> No, we'll give it to you.
>> Yeah, he was, wasn't he hooked up to
like propanol or something
>> that day?
>> Probably. I think he was propanol. He
used to a doctor used to like hook him
up to like a sleeping drug. He would
like IV. I'm
>> pretty sure propanol's uh Oh, is that
beta blockers?
>> Oh, maybe that's propan propanol. And
maybe propanol is what you use for
general anesthetic.
>> Yeah. So, he would you would do
anesthesia every night to go to bed.
>> [ __ ] My sister lives in Manhattan. My
sister was in Manhattan on September
11th. Yeah.
>> And we didn't hear for from her for a
couple days. I mean, I wasn't like super
worried about her cuz she lived she
didn't work in the trade centers or
anything, but there was a couple days
where there was not good communications
coming in and out of there because of
all the all the traffic over the old
school cell phone towers and all that.
Do
>> you hear about the insurance there's
like the occurrence debacle with the
World Trade Center? So, it's like the
guy who owned them, he was taking out a
99-year lease and in like their
insurance thing, it said like in the
event of an occurrence, like a
disastrous occurrence, you would get,
you know, $3.8 billion. He was like,
"Since it was two planes, it's two
occurrences, I should get like
>> Yeah, pretty much like seven billion."
And he had to f some of the insurance
companies actually had to pay double.
And then another one just was like, "No,
we're not doing that."
>> But he he went for double.
>> He's like, "It was technically two
billion." So it was one word in a
contract that cost billions of dollars.
>> Well, there's I mean, what are the odds?
>> Yeah. I mean, [ __ ] Yeah. Then that's
what you get insurance for.
>> Yeah. That's what I'm saying.
>> [ __ ] me. I mean that all of the stuff
around co Bill Aman you know Bill Aman
the guy that made the shortselling bet
against Herbal Life. So he's a a trader
but he trades against companies as
opposed to for them and short sellers
are
>> usually pretty disliked inside of the
market because you're actively going
after market value. You're betting
against something. So you're trying to
take them down. You're finding out [ __ ]
to do with their executives or the
financials aren't right or the
formulation doesn't work or something as
opposed to hey positive sum. I'll just
bet on the market going up and to the
right. And during COVID, he put a
special kind of insurance on early. So
he sort of put this bet that the whole
market was going to go to [ __ ] You know
the the big short that was Michael
Murray's thing and they made the
document the uh movie about it.
>> Bill Aman made more money than the big
short in six weeks with this one bet.
>> Damn.
>> Like called the new big short. The
problem is the reason I think it's not
been dramatized is there's not that much
drama. It's just one guy who's got a
good bit of vision going,
>> I think this is I think this is going to
[ __ ] a pressing a button. And there's
no narrative, right? There's no story
unfolding and all the rest of it. But
yeah, I mean the [ __ ] uh financial
crisis like how much would 911 have
played into that
crackers, dude. It's also wild with the
financial crisis that so few people of
all these people that are sitting around
in in New York in those big buildings
trying to figure out what's going to
happen and there's like six or seven
guys that go, "Oh, here's a good bet.
You guys are all making a bad move."
>> The newspapers in the buildup to the
Great Depression, I think in the couple
of weeks or you can do a like sentiment
analysis on all of the headlines, not a
single person is predicting it. It comes
out of absolute nowhere. Everyone's it's
going to be a boon. 1929's going to be
even better. D and yeah, people just
don't see it. So
there is a long and illustrious history
of people not being able to predict what
the [ __ ] is going to go on with
finances.
>> Yeah. And by the way, that's just true
in life. You know, I always bring that
up with like war and combat. People, oh,
this is going to happen, that's going to
happen. Like you don't know. You don't
know what's going to happen. So don't
put all your money on the table on one
bet because it's not a good move. Unless
maybe you're Bill Aman.
>> Yeah. How do you It seems like there's
sort of two things that you're trying to
do at once there. One is have as much
control and prediction as possible in
the micro, but it sounds like you're
just totally hands. It's like this war
can go on for as long as it does. We
have no idea how the rest of the country
and the geopolitics and the governments
are going to interact with each other.
So, how is that difficult to
>> Yeah. Well, to me, it's not that
difficult. The It's not that difficult
to look at any situation and say, "Oh,
yeah, I'm not exactly sure what's going
to happen." And this is a mistake that
America's made many times, which is,
"Oh, we're we this is what's going to
happen." You know, we know what's going
to happen. You don't know what's going
to happen. No one knows what's going to
happen. It's like getting in a fight,
right? You go, you walk up, you're
walking down the street, you see some
guy that's whatever, skinny and
weaklooking and possibly drunk, and
you're like, "Oh, I'm going to kick this
guy's ass." What happens? He pulls out a
knife. You know, you you you stumble.
Like there's there's there's there's
things that can happen that you cannot
predict even when you're bigger,
stronger, and if you have that attitude,
lack of humility, then you're going to
make mistakes. So, you know, all these
things that go on in the world when
people start start explaining exactly
how it's going to happen, I'm like, you
do not know what's going to happen. You
don't understand human will. Like, how
do you know what someone else is willing
to go through? You have no idea. Just
like you can't look at a guy that's
going through sales training and say,
"Oh, that guy's going to make it. That
guy's not." No, you have no idea. So you
look at a a whole country and you're
going to say, "Oh, this is how they're
going to behave." You have no idea how
they're going to behave and you don't
really understand their culture. And
even if you did understand their culture
from your college that you went to in
New York, you don't understand what it's
like on the ground. So we we make a lot
of moves that we shouldn't be making
just because we think we can predict
things that we can't predict.
>> Yeah. I saw a lot of that in the Iran
stuff for you have professors like I've
been studying unilateral by proxy
warfare for 30 years. My analysis and
you're like, "Dude, shut up. Shut up.
You have no idea.
>> You do not talk about
>> it is it's got to be hard to be someone
who's supposed to make predictions
because you
there's so many ways that it can go
wrong in literally only one way that it
can go right.
>> Yeah.
>> Like of all of the different ways that
the future could unfold. I'm pinning my
colors to the mast of this one.
>> Yeah.
>> And every single other bet that could
happen for reasons that I do or don't
know about, I'm just [ __ ]
>> Dude, I I read a book called uh The Next
Hundred Years. I don't know if I talked
about this before by George Freriedman
and he he wrote it I think like I would
say the early 2000s maybe like 200 you
know 10 or whatever but he I remember
read I only read half but he was he
predicted our um uh Russia Ukraine
conflict back then almost to like the
tea it was
>> when was I don't know I have to look it
up but it was definitely written maybe
like 10 years before the Russia Ukraine
thing happened. Did you Did he say why
he thought he was gonna
>> He was just saying they have to like
it's an eventual like Russia needs that
area to secure because like their
borders are so weak because like from
Ukraine it's just you're right there to
the major cities like they're going to
have to do that eventually.
>> How much is that the Russia Ukraine
conflict? I'm aware you're not an active
participant in the way that you used to
be. But is that changed the sort of
landscape of how people think about
warfare tactically?
>> Totally. I mean 100%. Got the drones is
a totally new world. M
>> that's a totally new world and it's very
interesting just how fast they make
changes and adjust to the technology and
the tactics as well has been incredible
to see. So it's full like capitalism
warfare meaning that the faster you can
adapt and do things a different way in a
new way that's successful and put more
resources behind that that's what
they're doing and they're doing it very
rapidly. That's what's keeping the the
Ukrainians in the game is that they're
just they're like I read an article
about there was an element there's
there's these drone elements like drone
units of of Ukrainians and they
basically say hey here's how we're
keeping score go do as much damage as
you can. Whoever does the most damage
out of these I don't know what the
numbers but four or five let's say four
or five platoon of drone operators.
Okay. whoever gets the most action or
destroys the most uh Russian, we we're
going to give you more money. And that's
exactly what they did. They gified it.
And so they're going, "Okay, well, what
can we do? How can we make this work?
How can we?" And they're just figuring
out a way to win. And they're doing it
very rapidly. This is what this is what
America's not good at, right? This is
why Andreil, companies like Andreal who
are just going to make stuff and do it
very rapidly, are going to end up being
much more valuable than the than the old
traditional. Unless Rathon and and those
other big ones make adjustments, they're
not going to be able to keep up with a
company like Andre because capitalism on
the battlefield is a really important
thing. The way things are moving so
quickly,
>> capitalism warfare is so [ __ ] cool.
>> Yep. Does sound [ __ ] sick.
>> What uh what are the changes? You say
it's mostly drones. That's the big
>> Oh, yeah. It's the drones. The drones
are totally totally different. Yeah. I
mean, you guys all watch the videos. I'm
sure you guys, you know, stay up at
night watching videos of these things
going on.
>> But like one of the most interesting
things, if you're tracking this, you
know, the the the original drones were
all controlled by radio, right? Radio
frequencies. And those things were
getting blocked and jammed. And so all
these new drones are controlled by by
wire by by you know filament um fiber
optics
>> and they can go they have fiber optic
cables that are 60 km long.
>> What? And so you got this, it looks like
a little tube on the and and there's a
whole thing in there wrapped with a
filament. And they fly these things 60
km
>> and the whole battlefield over there is
now draped with this this filament. This
this fiber optic filament. It's like
like spiderw webs.
>> But you know, this is what they're
doing. This is how
>> stuff you're not allowed to do like
biological warfare or like weaving the
shock things we're talking about. I see
things where people were like, "Dude, we
were in a crowd and then they just hit
us with this thing that you're not
supposed to do."
>> Was it Venezuela? But what about the
Venezuela riot and the [ __ ] energy
weapon? Jared, this is crazy.
>> What is it called? Like is there some
sort of like um term for it where they
can like make noise like shoot noise
for it?
>> Weapon some kind.
>> But like what about all that [ __ ] Like
that mean we got to be ahead of the
curve on that.
>> Yeah. And the thing is there'll be a
counter for that stuff just like
they're, you know, they're going to
figure out a way to counter these
filament drones like they their
technology will
>> will find a way to defend itself and
they'll make another adjustment to that
and they'll just keep doing that. So be
much more
>> the the the pace of technological
advancement is what we'll what we'll see
now in the in the wars from here on out.
You know, in Iraq, when I was in Iraq,
like the insurgents would figure out how
to put a bomb in the road, and then we'd
figure out how to build armor and then
they'd figure out how to build build a
bigger bomb. And then when we started
jamming, you know, they were detonating
them with with walkie-talkies and so we
figured out how to jam them and then
they figured out how to put like
pressure plates in the road. So, it's
just a technological race. But those
those cycles would take months, you
know, four months, three months, 6
months. But these things are just
happening much more rapidly.
>> Yeah, the bioweapon [ __ ] scares me, man.
That's like the I watched the interview
with uh RFK Jr. on CNN. Did you see
that? Him and I forget the lady's name.
>> They were going at it. It was actually
pretty cool to watch. But the at one
point, I could be wrong, but I could
have sworn she was like, "Well, what are
you going to do there?" Experts say
there will be another pandemic in 10
years. And she almost said it like,
"It's happening. What do you" And I was
just like, "Well, how the [ __ ] do you
know? Why are you saying it was almost
like it sounded like she was very
certain being like, "Oh, it's gonna
happen."
>> She thinks she's the Simpsons calling
her shot. This is kind of like first of
all why it's weird to be like oh there
definitely will be another pandemic and
stuff used to play with bugs and like
like literally like he would do break
rules of war like you're not allowed to
like put diseases in bugs and then
release bugs into a field and go it'll
get them like there's there's rules or
there's supposed to be rules and that's
a long time ago so I can't I can't uh
rule out that there must not be people
trying to figure this stuff out you know
>> I would say definitely yeah
>> Jacobson I want the inside scoop.
>> Come on.
>> Annie Jacobson came on the show and she
was talking about biological war. The
Russians had developed this weapon that
had, you know, you need to think about
the incubation period, the mortality,
the transmissibility, all of this stuff.
And they put one of the side effects of
this disease, this infectious disease
was euphoria. So people would feel great
for about 24 hours and go out dancing,
go out partying, want to go and be
social, go for dinner, spend time with
friends. They'd engineered euphoria into
the pathogen
>> so you go spread super spreader. Yeah.
It would encourage you because if you
feel sick then you're in bed and maybe
you don't go and they'd realize oh if we
make people feel great they'll spread
this even faster. That was that made
still now sort of hairs on my arm like
it makes me feel so Have we got the the
[ __ ] energy weapon Jared? Is this
thing
>> it also wouldn't even work on me. If I
got that I'd be like I'm staying in I'm
>> watch love on his face. Yeah, I'm not
going anywhere. I feel too good to go
out.
>> Right there.
>> Whoa.
>> Calls are mounting in Serbia for an
independent investigation into whether a
sonic weapon was used by security forces
on people protesting government
corruption.
>> Although doesn't look like it. A
progressive Serbian opposition party
alleged that a sonic weapon class not
included on the government's list of
legal weapons totally silent. This was
the video you see here
>> just from nothing
>> like out of nowhere.
>> But you think they would go like or like
they would make they didn't. They kind
of just like sensed a panic that
something's coming. And you're right,
that panic like in World War I, they had
to get control over the guys that would
run messages back and forth because if a
guy was running from the front line back
to tell his commander what was going on
and like I go running away and you see
me and you're like, "Oh, Jo's running."
You start running, you all just start
running away. So, there might have been
a little bit of that in that scenario.
>> Also, like usually if it's really
jolting you like that, like you lose um
you know, bodily fluid, all the stuff
like you would see someone having a
reaction to it is what I'm saying. You
piss yourself and be like, "What the
hell?"
>> I thought they used that. Did So
Venezuela was the country
>> disarming, you know?
>> Yeah. Something happened. I heard I
heard that about Venezuela that they one
day they're sitting there and the they
just kind of came right in or they cut
their power. What do they cut their
power or something
>> for the extraction of
speaking to the right guy here? Things
that you can't say.
>> How much do you get without saying it?
How much do you still get to find out
about cool [ __ ] that goes on? Like do
you still get to hear some cool [ __ ]
>> I I hear super.
>> And how do you hear it? They can't text
it to you.
>> Yeah,
>> they can't text it to you. How do you
hear it?
>> So cool knowing about cool.
>> Got to be in the right WhatsApp chat.
You're in the right WhatsApp chat.
>> That's what I'm saying. It's like where
are they sharing this secret
information, dude? Just got to [ __ ]
go.
>> Hey, jump on the CB radio. No one's in
here.
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> Did that really happen? We do
testosterone for the soldiers or I saw
that in the headline.
>> Of course.
>> Can we give soldiers testosterone?
>> Well, yeah. I think they that's what
they're saying is they're opening it up
and you know there is there is a guys
have had problems with this and it's the
same you know the the TBI the traumatic
brain injuries one of the things it
impacts is like your ability to I I
guess is it your pineal gland that makes
testosterone
>> cacao
>> cacao we get some cacao and some
testosterone so guys guys that have
issues with that they you know and plus
they're stressed out all the time they
don't get much sleep and all this stuff
and it impacts their testosterone so
they're saying they're gonna check them
more and give them more testosterone.
>> How many guys that are in special forces
do you think are doing it without any
they're not on any pain meds, not on any
sleep meds, on any anti-anxiety stuff.
Is it rare that someone's not supported
in one form or another said DJ Shipley
there and he might be an extreme case,
but he was explaining he's on 50 tablets
a day. He's on up is to wake him up and
down is to get him down and painkillers
to stop his pain and
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. I mean, I think I think for
someone like DJ who gets on that cycle
of you get hurt, right? You don't want
to stop working, so you got to take
something to make the pain go away. So,
then you start taking something to make
the pain go away and the the pain gets
worse because you're not train you're
not uh giving any rest. And so, now
you're doing more stuff to make the pain
go away. Well, eventually you go, I need
something to get me back to focus
because my pain's going away and so is
my, you know, motor skills. So, now
you're going on something else. So, I
think that's the cycle that guys can get
caught on. Um, but I, you know, I
there's a lot of people that don't do
anything. You know what I mean? I mean,
I never even took ambient. Like, there
was a lot of guys that would take
ambient to sleep. I never took I never
took anything. I never took anything
>> dog your entire military career.
>> Yeah. And but I don't think I'm not I I
don't think that's as rare as you might
think it is. But I will say when guys
get hurt, this is DJ's got the exact
story like a guy gets hurt. No one wants
to come out of the game, right? No one
wants to come out of the game. So you do
whatever you got to do to stay in the
game and that means you're the cycle
that I just talked about. So that
definitely happens because you're you're
in an injury-prone job. I mean you get
just the day-to-day life fast roping out
of helicopters, landing on this deck of
a ship that's going up and down, you
know, humping through the desert
carrying buddy carrying people. Like
it's a day-to-day grind on your body
that is, you know, the bad back, bad
shoulders, bad knees, the whole nine
yards. And that's happening all the
time. So guys have to do what they want
to do or what they have to do to stay in
the game.
>> You imagine if comedy was a sober
pursuit if no one was allowed to use any
enhancements.
>> I know. I think about that a lot
actually is like how how often we call
something cheating. It's like who cares.
>> Yeah. Like if you found out that like
some of the most brilliant minds of the
past were using some sort of enhancement
or silicide, you wouldn't give a [ __ ]
You're like he wrote a great song. Yeah.
The guy was whatever. Same with that.
Like people go uh cuz I know a lot of
like um military guys but then also
policemen and uh fire department who
they do steroids or they'll do like
testosterone and I go good. I want you
to be a strong whatever you think is
going to work bro. You're not hitting
home runs for the Giants you know like
you like we need you the best you can be
dude. So yeah it's you use it.
>> But also we should all use it. If you're
going to make better comedy because you
smoke pot or you do mushrooms or
whatever then whatever it takes. I think
about that with business. You business
is an untested federation.
No one in the fsy 100 500 is going
actually I need to do a blood test on
you because it seems like that CEO
wasn't using medapanil and aderall and
testosterone and ambient to make sure so
people care about sports because it's
supposed to be a really fair
organization but in the world of
business which people care about maybe
even more than they care about sports
>> totally untested. There's this famous
clip of Sam Alman from it's quite a
while ago and somebody's asking him when
he was on his grind at Y Combinator, how
how many hours per day can you be
productive? He says, "Well, if you're
taking Armadafanil, you know, up to kind
of 18 or 20, I suppose, and you think,
oh, yeah, actually, if you're in some
fast-paced tech
organization, there is no limit. You
just do whatever you do, and no one's
going to come in and go, "This is bad
for your health or whatever. You're
maximizing shareholder value. Who gives
a fuck?"
>> Right? And comedy's kind of comedy's
kind of the same. If
>> this makes you perform better, no comic
can go, "Hey man, your set was good last
night, but I'd love to see you do it
without weed."
>> Right.
>> Yeah. No.
>> Well, that's why I get so mad about the
steroid conversation of baseball cuz I'm
like, "Let him do it." I would do
whatever it took to be the best at
comedy. Like, so if there was some way
to cheat, take a little injection and I
now I'm the funniest guy that affects my
money, that affects my reputation, all
I'd do it. So, I get it when baseball
players are going, "Hey, man. I I want
to play baseball or I want to go fight
for my country. Like you you take what
you're going to do what you do to stay
in the game.
>> It's the thing around military operators
if there's push back against them being
given something that makes them more
effective. It's we are not supposed to
be playing within the rules. There are
some rules right Geneva Convention.
Outside of those and a couple of other
things that your government puts on top
of you it's like everything should be on
the table. Surely. Surely. If there's
one thing that we can all agree,
national security and not dying and
killing the other guy, like that should
be pretty uncontroversial.
>> Yeah. And it's easy to get caught up in
like the shortterm
cuz look, if I'm not the best I possibly
can be right now, then I'm not going to
live, right? So, I'm just going to do
whatever I can right now. But I think
the long-term negative health impacts
that they have, it's like you don't want
to take these guys cool and just destroy
them from a health perspective. So when
they're 35, they're just like train
wrecks.
>> Trading in their performance today, but
like killing them tomorrow.
>> And there is some to some element to the
fact that hey, if I'm like on steroids
and now I'm on deployment and I go into
the field for 24 days, do do I have no
like natural testosterone? Am I just a
disaster? Yeah, I do. In in my pack,
I've got a small cool bag with a couple
of ice packs so I can keep my
testosterone. Make sure that
>> Well, that legless guy brought a cake to
Mount Everest. Sure thing.
>> He can pack some syringes and get a
little Come on. What are we talking
about?
>> He had candles.
>> True.
>> 34. Get out of here.
>> But also, it depends, too. Like, is it
saying they can have it if they want or
you're getting like 20-year-olds to be
like, "Bro, let's
>> No, I think they're just testing them
and
>> I think it should be enforced."
>> Yeah. Like,
>> I think you have to have 1500 NOG per
deciliter of testosterone. And if you
don't,
>> you're not doing your best. Yeah, we
need you at your best. I know that you
need to be working hard
>> or just at that point it's like go mech
suits.
>> Go what?
>> Mech suits. We have like the robotic
>> Oh, I like those on movies.
>> That's the alternative.
>> Yeah, why not?
>> What do you think about um psychedelic
therapy for PTSD and stuff? DJ's on here
talking about Ibeane and all of this
stuff.
>> I haven't done it. Um, I I know a lot of
guys that have done it and it's been
very helpful to them and I know a
smaller number of guys that have done it
and it hasn't been helpful. So,
>> like adverse or just not helpful?
>> There's been some that have been
adverse, but that's a pretty small
number compared to the amount and and
and I I believe that the people that
have had adverse impact, they didn't do
it correctly, the integration.
>> They didn't do the what? Yeah. They
didn't do the pre-work and the all that
other stuff that you're supposed to do.
they just kind of like got after it, you
know what I mean? So, yeah, I I think
that's that can be problematic.
What is doing?
>> So, but yeah, it seems like and they're
doing legislation and everything now to
try and make it
>> legal and acceptable and paid for by the
VA and all that stuff. So, hopefully
it's it's helpful. I mean, like I said,
I've known some guys that have I've
known a bunch of guys that have done it.
It's been very helpful. So, if it helps
guys out, yeah, by all means. How many
people do you think are veterans would
be fixed by getting one more tour? I
wonder whether it's them missing being a
part of it, feeling like they've got
something unrequited or whether it's
like a compounding effect over time.
You've said that in and around Rammani
was like one of the best times of your
life. I wonder whether you ever wished
that [ __ ] like if I could just go back
for like another couple of weeks.
>> 100%. Yeah. I mean, everybody would. Uh
well basically almost everybody that I
know if you told them if I sent out out
a text message to my guys and was like
hey get your gear together I would get
97%
of the guys like Roger inbound like
>> is that the coolest thing that we like
evidently selected the right people for
the job
>> you know like a school teacher that's 20
years retired going hey do you want to
come and teach a class no way I want to
go back in there meanwhile someone
that's not been in combat bad for a
little while. I was like, I just give me
the call.
>> We were uh we got to Romani and I sent I
went out with some of my guys to we were
we were in western Romani and there was
real problems in eastern Romani and we
took an element out to eastern Romani
for like a week and it was super gnarly.
The living conditions were absolutely
terrible. We're living in a bombed out
building, dirt floors, like uh bugs all
over the place, very very hot, totally
uncomfortable. And then there was real
heavy fighting out there and you know a
lot of casualties not with my guys on
that particular time but in this week
there's a lot of casualties army Iraqi
army like it's very tough region in
Ramani. We get done doing some missions
out there. We come back and I'm going to
send out some guys out there permanently
and I'm talking to the platoon commander
guy named Seth Stone. I said hey you
know you're going to take some guys out
there. and he goes, "Well, you know, I I
I don't want to pick someone cuz I don't
want to take guys out there if they
don't want to go." And I said, "Okay,
fair enough." So, I walked into our big
platoon space and I wrote on the board,
you know, "Hey, going to Camp Corodor."
And I brought the guys and I'm like,
"Hey, I'm going to send six or seven
guys out there permanently. You guys
know the deal that we're out there. If
you weren't out there, then here's the
deal. It's terrible living conditions.
the chances of getting wounded or killed
is decently high. There's going to be a
lot of operations and I don't know when
you're coming back. If you guys want if
you want to go on that, put your name on
the board. And I walked out and I came
back 20 minutes later and every single
guy's name was on
