    Intro

    1. YP

      (drum roll) Joe Rogan podcast, check it out.

    2. NA

      The Joe Rogan Experience.

    3. JR

      Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day. (instrumental music) Hey, Yannis Pappas. How are you doing, my friend?

    4. YP

      Joe. Good. How you doing?

    5. JR

      Oh, I'm doing good.

    6. YP

      Good. Good to see you again.

    7. JR

      Good to see you too, brother. What's-

    8. YP

      Yeah.

    9. JR

      ... what's crackalackin'?

    10. YP

      Not much, man. Just, you know, trying to dodge this delta.

    11. JR

      Yeah, or the gamma, or whatever the fuck-

    12. YP

      The gamma, the rays.

    13. JR

      ... whatever. Yeah.

    14. YP

      Yeah. The delta, the alpha.

    15. JR

      It's wild out there.

    16. YP

      Yeah.

    17. JR

      It's wild out there.

    18. YP

      It's wild,

  2. 0:301:35

    Vaccines

    1. YP

      yeah.

    2. JR

      It's hard to know what's- what's right and what's wrong. Some people say, "Don't worry about it. The delta's- it's less dangerous, but more contagious." And then some people say, "No, no, no. People are getting really sick."

    3. YP

      Yeah, yeah. No, I-

    4. JR

      Vaccinated people are getting s- in Europe, in, not in Europe, but in Israel there was a- a study that was released. It was something like, you know, they're- they're like the most vaccinated country, Israel is apparently. I think they have somewhat close to, I'll read it here, I think it's close to like 90% of the people have been vaccinated, and so now they have, uh, a lot of people that are in the hospital that are vaccinated.

    5. YP

      Yeah, 'cause I guess the more people that get vaccinated, the more people will have those breakthrough, um, infections. What I love about now is like, I- I- I have an opinion on it.

    6. JR

      80%.

    7. YP

      80%.

    8. JR

      80% of all COVID patients previously vaccinated in the hospital.

    9. YP

      Wow, I thought that was like, uh, corrected to like 40%.

    10. JR

      I don't know, it's just weird.

    11. YP

      It's right there.

    12. JR

      I don't know.

    13. YP

      If it's on the phone, it's gotta be true.

    14. JR

      Must be.

    15. YP

      (laughs) It must be true at this point, yeah.

    16. JR

      Is- is it Fauci approved?

    17. YP

      If it's Fauci approved-

    18. JR

      If it's got the stamp?

    19. YP

      ... yeah, I don't know. I mean, hey, if this thing comes back, uh, just be podcasting.

  3. 1:359:00

    Guns

    1. YP

    2. JR

      Yeah, just lock down and have HEPA filters everywhere and-

    3. YP

      Yeah.

    4. JR

      ... you know? I mean, like March of 2020, I remember thinking like this could be some Mad Max, like Road Warrior type shit where the streets are empty and- and then when they started looting, that was one of the things that really freaked me out, the looting in LA, when no one was doing anything about it, when they were smashing windows, running into stores and stealing clothes and shit.

    5. YP

      Yeah. Yeah, and, uh, who knows? That could come back. That could come back again, round two.

    6. JR

      Oh, for sure.

    7. YP

      Just like me coming back here, ding ding, round two. (laughs)

    8. JR

      It's not- it's not likely gonna happen around here.

    9. YP

      Yeah.

    10. JR

      There's far too many firearms.

    11. YP

      Yes.

    12. JR

      This is- this is the good thing about over-armed places. (laughs)

    13. YP

      Yeah.

    14. JR

      It's not- they're not good places to loot.

    15. YP

      No.

    16. JR

      You know?

    17. YP

      I- I bet you there's a lot of people who are on the left who are rethinking the Second Amendment and their view on it just because the context has changed. Yeah.

    18. JR

      My own friends-

    19. YP

      Yeah.

    20. JR

      ... friends that were very anti-gun were asking me to borrow guns.

    21. YP

      Mm-hmm.

    22. JR

      When the shit started hitting the fan in LA-

    23. YP

      Mm-hmm.

    24. JR

      ... uh, they were asking to borrow guns. And I was like, "You can't borrow a gun."

    25. YP

      Yeah.

    26. JR

      'Cause if you shoot someone with the borrowed gun, I am in trouble.

    27. YP

      Right, right.

    28. JR

      And especially in LA 'cause there's weird laws, like I don't even think you're allowed to shoot someone in your home unless you're in danger, and then you have to prove that you're in danger.

    29. YP

      Yeah, then you have to-

    30. JR

      I think.

  4. 9:0011:15

    Wilding Kids

    1. YP

    2. JR

      It's like, well, pre-pandemic, I don't know what it's like now, 'cause uh, I had, um, Hamilton Morris on, he's, um, from Hamilton's Pharmacopia, he's a drug expert. He's a really fascinating guy. But he was telling me it's very dark. He's like, "I go running," and he goes, "and there's like dog shit everywhere 'cause no one's picking up their dog shit, and stacks of garbage." And like all the, the s- public utilities have kind of lacked, so a lot of the garbage pickup is not as good as it used to be and he goes, "And it's kinda dangerous." He's like, "It's not what it used to be, just a year and a half ago."

    3. YP

      I was just telling Jaime before, it's like, uh, it's starting to feel like the Brooklyn that I grew up in. You're starting to hear crimes that are similar to the ones from the '80s, which were just like wilding kids. I remember there was just like wilding kids.

    4. JR

      I remember them.

    5. YP

      Yeah.

    6. JR

      The term wilding.

    7. YP

      They used to call them wilding kids, like feral kids, wilding kids, and it was true. There'd be just like a pack of kids. You'd turn a corner, there was kids there, you would just like, you just took your hat off and gave it to them. (laughs)

    8. JR

      (laughs)

    9. YP

      You just took your Nautica jacket off and you like folded it up for them like you were g- gift wrapping at Macy's and just handed it. And uh, it just, you were robbed and there was just packs of kids. And recently, this, this uh, off-duty firefighter was like attacked by like 40 kids who were just like-

    10. JR

      Is that the guy with the dog?

    11. YP

      He was with the dog, yeah.

    12. JR

      That was in a park.

    13. YP

      Yeah.

    14. JR

      Yeah.

    15. YP

      In Queens.

    16. JR

      What was the story behind that?

    17. YP

      The story was just wilding kids.

    18. JR

      Really?

    19. YP

      They just did it to, uh, to be wilding. Yeah.

    20. JR

      Wow.

    21. YP

      I think they screamed... The, the slogans they were saying were kind of like that, "It's fight night." It's just like, um-

    22. JR

      They beat the fuck out of that poor guy.

    23. YP

      They beat the fuck out of kid and just cops are like... I, I, I have a cop who lives close to me where I live and he's like, he was on the plainclothes unit that they kind of disbanded, which was stupid. And now he's like doing something else and, uh, you know, he, he's, he's like, "Look, cops, their morale is down. They don't wanna, they don't wanna do it."

    24. JR

      Yeah.

    25. YP

      "Everyone hates them, they don't wanna risk it. Somebody starts running, they're like, 'I'm not gonna chase this guy.'"

    26. JR

      Wow.

    27. YP

      Because like, you know, he turns around and he throws a camera or so he reaches for some... You know, it's just-

    28. JR

      Right.

    29. YP

      ... they don't want to deal with it and they feel like everyone hates them right now, so it's like that's scary. Like if you call 911 and they just like take their time because they're not-

    30. JR

      Yeah.

  5. 11:1513:05

    Perception of Society

    1. JR

      There's a lot of that going on. And I don't know how that gets fixed in any short period of time. I think that's a long-term recovery project, if at all. Like it's real weird because I've nev- I've never seen such a dip in our society before as during this pandemic. And some of it's understandable, but some of it is like, it's a, a perception, the, the perception of the police, the perception of society at large, it's just very different than it's ever been before.

    2. YP

      I, I think it has a lot to do with us adapting to the internet, like, and technology. It's fairly new and everyone's getting their information from charismatic people who wanna be on camera.

    3. JR

      Mm-hmm.

    4. YP

      Whereas like the really smart, nuanced people, like those old school mob bosses who were, you know, they, you know, you get caught if you're flaunting yourself John Gotti style.

    5. JR

      Right.

    6. YP

      But like, you know, the, the people who are behind the scenes, like doctors, politicians, like those are the people who are in it-... doing it and, you know, we used to have Walter Cronkites and Edward R. Murrows, and now we got guys just going up there on internet, like, with their phone and making these categorical j- uh, like, charismatic statements. And people that are really like kind of, uh, they're simplified-

    7. JR

      Mm-hmm.

    8. YP

      ... and, uh, just, just really, like, generalized and people are just following them. And now we've become, like, two full countries that hate each other. It used to be, like, you know, you, at time of war or something, you kind of, you came together a little bit to support whoever the guy is in office. Now it's like there's people who wouldn't support Biden at all no matter what. I mean, even if, like, China was storming Malibu and, like, you know, set up their captain's quarters in Reese Witherspoon's, like, beach home-

    9. JR

      Yeah.

    10. YP

      ... we'd still be, like, hating each other and, like, we're so dis- disjointed and disunified. It's... And I think it's 'cause of we're online.

    11. JR

      I think that's

  6. 13:0515:03

    People Being Charismatic

    1. JR

      a big part, part of it, and I also think what you're saying about, uh, people being charismatic is very true. That these charismatic, influential people that are getting attention from posting outrageous things online constantly, uh, posting things about either the left or the right, like, how pathetic they are and how foolish they are and how arrogant they are and, and just making these really polarized teams. And I don't, you know, I mean, I don't, I don't subscribe to that. I know you don't subscribe to that kind of shit. It's dumb. It's like there's, there's great people on both sides. There's, there's people that have a lot of opinions that I don't agree with at all, but then I agree with them on many things. And I like to just treat people like people and think of their ideas as individuals, uh, individual ideas. I don't want a collective group of ideas that I have to subscribe to.

    2. YP

      Right.

    3. JR

      I mean, I think that's a real problem with people, whether you're on the left or the right. You know, you could predict... Like, if you can ask someone a very... real specific questions, like, "How do you feel about gun control? How do you feel about The Second Amendment? Do you think it's important?" Their answer can tell you how they feel about abortion, how they feel about immigration, how they feel about whether the election was valid. They, uh... It's just go down the line with one question.

    4. YP

      Yeah.

    5. JR

      It's wild.

    6. YP

      Yeah, and it's sad.

    7. JR

      Yeah.

    8. YP

      It's sad 'cause you should, like you said, I mean, it's like, uh, uh, the Second Amendment was t- totally different from abortion, totally different from gay marriage.

    9. JR

      Yeah.

    10. YP

      And, like, it's sad that you can ask one question, you can predict, uh, and with probably great deal of accuracy, what those people are gonna say based on that one answer because they've, they've drawn their lines and they're towing this line now and people are so far apart. And then you're right. When you speak to them in person and have a long conversation with them, you find out even though they may lean on this side or lean on that side, most people are pretty reasonable. You know, they care about their family, they care about their money, you know, and politics used to be about that. "Hey, it, it's, it's, it's, it's the money, stupid," or whatever that expression was like. "It's the economy, stupid."

    11. JR

      Yeah.

    12. YP

      'Cause, like, whether you're on the right or the left, at the end of the day, you're about yourself.

    13. JR

      Yeah, I think one

  7. 15:0319:05

    The Social Dilemma

    1. JR

      big point about what you're saying about these influential people too is they v- they benefit from strife, they benefit from conflict. And so instead of uniters like Martin Luther King Jr., you have the opposite. You have people that literally benefit from people being divided. They benefit from calling people out or yelling people down or, you know, ju- getting, getting conflict going. Like, that, that gets them more views. I mean, that's what's going on with Facebook, that's what the, the algorithms that people are complaining about that, that are l- literally accelerating our path towards some sort of civil war.

    2. YP

      Yeah.

    3. JR

      Did you see The Social Dilemma?

    4. YP

      I did see The Social Dilemma.

    5. JR

      Scary shit, right?

    6. YP

      Scary shit. And I tell you what I was watching actually on the plane was this, uh... Do you remember the Duke lacrosse players?

    7. JR

      Yes.

    8. YP

      Do you remember that story?

    9. JR

      Yes. Tell... Expre- Explain it to people.

    10. YP

      Oh, dude. The Duke lacrosse players.

    11. JR

      (laughs)

    12. YP

      So the whole media, uh, had kind of indicted these guys and they loaded the story with, you know, class and race and-

    13. JR

      Explain the story to people.

    14. YP

      It was a bunch of lacrosse players, they had a party, right? A b- a bunch of guys had a party at their house. Yeah, they're uppity white guys. They play lacrosse.

    15. JR

      Right.

    16. YP

      So it's like nobody comes from the ghetto and plays lacrosse.

    17. JR

      (laughs)

    18. YP

      So you know that they're arrogant white guys who probably, m- you know, their father may have like a third... They definitely have a portrait in the foyer of like-

    19. JR

      (laughs)

    20. YP

      ... "This is my uncle. His ties go back to England," or whatever.

    21. JR

      Right.

    22. YP

      So they're douches. We get it. But, um, they had a party and somebody, uh, hired some strippers. And the strippers that came were like two, um, POCs. They were POs. I'm try- yeah, POC. And, uh, one of them was-

    23. JR

      A lot of people listening, like, "Ugh."

    24. YP

      POCs are people who, um, historically disenfranchised, a little darker melanin tones.

    25. JR

      People of color.

    26. YP

      People of color. People of color.

    27. JR

      Yes. Yes.

    28. YP

      Um, and so they came, they stripped, but the girl, they only stripped for like five minutes and the girl was saying weird stuff and, um, then they got mad. The, the guys got mad 'cause they felt like they were getting, uh, conned, that they didn't get their, their lap dance worth or whatever, their dancing worth. And then something went awry and then the girl called the cops and said, "I was assaulted." And then from there, it became a big story and it ended up that the prosecutor was withhel- withholding, um, exculpatory evidence that would have exonerated knowingly. I mean, he ended up getting disbarred and doing time 'cause of this and, uh, and you look back now and you're going like, "That guy was doing exactly what online personalities do now."

    29. JR

      Yes.

    30. YP

      It's like, "This is good for me."

  8. 19:0521:40

    Make Money Off The News

    1. JR

    2. YP

      That's the problem.

    3. JR

      The problem is once the narrative gets out there, any, any ... If, if there's some sort of a correction in the newspaper a couple weeks later, it's always on, like, the fourth page-

    4. YP

      (laughs) Yeah.

    5. JR

      ... in the lower right-hand corner, "Sorry, we ... The amendment to the story-

    6. YP

      Yeah.

    7. JR

      ... turns out nobody raped anybody. Whoops."

    8. YP

      Yeah. "Sorry the whole-"

    9. JR

      "Sorry we ruined your life forever."

    10. YP

      Yeah. "But we sold a lot of papers with that, so..." (laughs)

    11. JR

      That, that is a, a real issue. The re- a real, here's a real question. Should you be able to make money off the news?

    12. YP

      It's a good question, man.

    13. JR

      It's a good question because if you can make money off the news, then all of a sudden the news becomes a show. And the more outrageous you can get it, the more clickbaity you can get it, the more you can sort of jazz up the headlines and distort the story, the more you're gonna get people to tune in. If it bleeds, it leads.

    14. YP

      Yeah.

    15. JR

      Let's go.

    16. YP

      I remember when I was working for Fusion, which was, like, a short-lived, uh, company and, uh, that was owned by Disney and, um, Univision. It lasted, like, a year. It was totally, like, they tried to build a big studio in Miami, and they were trying to target millennials. But by that time, like, everything was on the phone, people were watching you, and it was like, it was just a waste of money. But I remember one of their slogans was like, "Start a fight." And I was like, "Ah."

    17. JR

      Really?

    18. YP

      Yeah, 'cause my co- two, my two cohosts were journalists and it was run by journalists, and I was like the comedic guy that, you know, they, oh, they had me in a corner and they opened it up and I came in and I was like, "Woo-ha" to make people laugh, but-

    19. JR

      (laughs)

    20. YP

      (laughs) But I was working with, like, a Peabody Award-winning journalist, uh, you know, Maria, Mariana Atencio and Pedro, uh, Andrade, uh, Andrade. He's, uh, they, he was, um, from Brazil and they were two serious journalists. And, uh, you know, the, the, when they, the executive producer started out, it was like, "Pick a fight. Always look to pick a fight." And I'm like-

    21. JR

      Wow.

    22. YP

      ... "That sucks. That sucks."

    23. JR

      (sighs)

    24. YP

      Yeah. That should be happening in MMA with the matchmakers, not w- your news.

    25. JR

      That's hard to hear.

    26. YP

      Yeah.

    27. JR

      Pick a fight.

    28. YP

      Pick a fight because it gets ratings. People love the drama. They love it. I mean, if you turned on a real reality TV show, it would just be like a couple guys sitting around, you know?

    29. JR

      Yeah.

    30. YP

      Picking their nose, changing channels, but then-

  9. 21:4023:25

    Theo Vaughn

    1. JR

      problem with those guys is that you make them more of a mess by shining the camera on them and then you make them famous. Didn't he, like, lose his marbles after he got off that show? 'Cause he was, like, one of the most famous guys from The Real World-

    2. YP

      Yeah.

    3. JR

      ... other than Theo Von.

    4. YP

      Yeah.

    5. JR

      Or was he on Road Rules?

    6. YP

      Uh, no.

    7. JR

      The- Theo was on Road Rules, right?

    8. YP

      No, Theo was i- Theo was in one of The Houses.

    9. JR

      He was in The Real World?

    10. YP

      He was, yeah.

    11. NA

      No, no. Well, yeah. He, he was on Road Rules and then he was in The Challenge, which sort of is, like, the living experience at The House.

    12. JR

      Oh-

    13. NA

      But-

    14. JR

      ... so it's two different-

    15. NA

      ... yeah, both. He was on multiple shows for those.

    16. JR

      Theo Von.

    17. YP

      Yeah. He's the only dude probably to make it out of there.

    18. JR

      100%.

    19. YP

      Yeah.

    20. JR

      And be legit.

    21. YP

      Be legit.

    22. JR

      Yeah. I mean, he's a fucking legit comic.

    23. YP

      He's a funny dude.

    24. JR

      He's funny.

    25. YP

      Yeah.

    26. JR

      He's fucking funny.

    27. YP

      And he's-

    28. JR

      That, that dude kills me.

    29. YP

      And he's funny solo, which is-

    30. JR

      Yeah.

  10. 23:2524:53

    Substack

    1. YP

      Well, there's a d- I think there's a, um, a shining l- light to that. There's like a, there's, there's a, there's a way out of this, and I think it's Substack. A lot of these, like, legitimate journalists are no longer with these papers that are interested in doing that, and they're gravitating towards Substack and they have people pay for actual journalism. Yeah.

    2. JR

      And so there's like, there's, there's a new wave of legit journalists on Substack that are just, people subscribe to it and they can choose to subscribe or not subscribe. You pay or you don't pay, you know? It's like, it's your choice. But in doing so, these people have cultivated a group of people that are actually looking for real journalism.

    3. YP

      Yeah.

    4. JR

      It's interesting.

    5. YP

      It is. I think, uh, that was the problem is the media probably just didn't adapt to the digital age.

    6. JR

      Yeah.

    7. YP

      They stepped, they kept making papers and then they started giving the articles away for free.

    8. JR

      Yup.

    9. YP

      And then in order to get clicks, you had to make the, the, uh, headlines into, like, car crashes to get-

    10. JR

      Yeah.

    11. YP

      ... people's attention, but-

    12. JR

      You have to.

    13. YP

      You know like from doing comedy, ir- it's the same thing in, when you're doing comedy, when you're doing like an open mic or a free show.... the audience doesn't respect it.

    14. JR

      It's true.

    15. YP

      They come in, they, you do those college shows, they, they yawn, they come in in flip-flops, they suck their teeth at you.

    16. JR

      (laughs)

    17. YP

      You know, they don't care. They didn't pay. They didn't, they, you're, you're-

    18. JR

      They're not invested.

    19. YP

      You're not invested in it, and you're, you're attracting an audience that is apathetic.

    20. JR

      Yeah.

    21. YP

      They're not there for the show, but, uh, yeah, if you, if you pay for the journalism, you can take that money away if it's not good. You go, you know, take it away.

  11. 24:5326:08

    Free Shows

    1. JR

      Yeah, that's an interesting i- thing, isn't it, about those free shows, paper shows?

    2. YP

      Yeah.

    3. JR

      They're, the audience, the way they feel is so different.

    4. YP

      Yeah.

    5. JR

      Shorter attention span, not really that interested, and they're just not invested in the show.

    6. YP

      Yeah. You ju- you don't respect something if you don't pay for it.

    7. JR

      Yeah.

    8. YP

      Yeah.

    9. JR

      Unfortunately, it's true.

    10. YP

      Yeah. It's true. But, um, you know, that's a good, that's a, it's like Patreon. Like, comedy doesn't happen on television anymore.

    11. JR

      Right.

    12. YP

      That's not comedy.

    13. JR

      Isn't that wild?

    14. YP

      Yeah, it's wild. But comedy is happening on podcasts, on the internet, and Patreon is, like, the purest, it's probably the purest system, the, the subscriber model, that comedians and entertainers have ever had. It's the s- same that, model that Netflix has, same model that HBO has, and it proves that that model probably is better than the other models 'cause HBO, for a while, has been making more money than all the networks combined-

    15. JR

      Yeah.

    16. YP

      ... because of their dumb pilot system where they make those pilots and spend all that money and then jettison those shows that didn't work. Whereas HBO, it's like, "Hey, we make the shows that we wanna make. You pay the money. And, uh, y- you know, if you don't like it, you leave. If you like it..." And that's why they were free to be uncensored and push the envelope and-

    17. JR

      Yeah.

    18. YP

      ... now that's happening online with Patreon. Patreon.com/yannilongdays.

    19. JR

      Yeah,

  12. 26:0828:35

    Patreon

    1. JR

      it is, um, it's a, there's a new era in, in that respect, but th- but Patreon will delete you. That's the problem. They, they can decide that you're problematic.

    2. YP

      Right.

    3. JR

      And they've done that with people before, right?

    4. YP

      Right.

    5. JR

      (clears throat) They've done that with people, you know, where it was, uh, very arguable whether or not what they did was bad or not.

    6. YP

      That's the issue.

    7. JR

      You need something where the people get to decide and not a corporation. You're not going through a filter like Patreon.

    8. YP

      Right.

    9. JR

      So how do you do that? I think, I think Sam Harris doesn't use Patreon. I think he does it straight through his website. I think his donations... He's an interesting cat, man. Uh, and the way he does his podcast, you, it's, he does a subscriber-based podcast, but he doesn't ever want anyone to not get the content if they can't afford it. So, all you have to do is send an email to him saying that you can't afford it, and he'll give you a free subscription. And 100% of all those requests are accepted.

    10. YP

      Wow.

    11. JR

      Yeah. But he still does well.

    12. YP

      Yeah.

    13. JR

      It's still doing really well.

    14. YP

      Because people wanna give.

    15. JR

      Yeah, because it's really good.

    16. YP

      Yeah.

    17. JR

      His insight is fantastic. He's a really brilliant guy. But the way he's doing it is all through hi- his... First of all, w- there's not a corporation in the world that would do that, would say, "If you can't afford it, send an email, we'll give it to you for free."

    18. YP

      Right, right.

    19. JR

      But he does it.

    20. YP

      Right.

    21. JR

      (clears throat)

    22. YP

      Right. Yeah.

    23. JR

      So it's an, he's got a weird, uh, business model, but it works for him.

    24. YP

      In-

    25. JR

      I'm pretty sure he does it all through his website.

    26. YP

      Radiohead doesn't get enough quedit, uh, credit, quedit-

    27. JR

      Quedit?

    28. YP

      (laughs) Quedit. Wabbits.

    29. JR

      Wascally wabbit. (laughs)

    30. YP

      (laughs) .

  13. 28:3529:42

    Adam Curry

    1. JR

      Curry has a si- similar situation, right? He allows, you could pay whatever you want. Isn't it? I think Adam's is free. Is it free? Or is it you could pay whatever you want? I think you can pay whatever you want. And some people pay a dollar, and some people, he's like, some people pay you a lot of money.

    2. YP

      Yeah.

    3. JR

      They just say, "This is a great show. I wanna support it." You know?

    4. YP

      Yeah.

    5. JR

      It's, uh, there's some purity to that, you know?

    6. YP

      Big time.

    7. JR

      There, there really is. It's, uh, it's, it's, it's a nice business model where you have, like, a real, like, Adam, in particular, has a real relationship with his fans.

    8. YP

      Mm-hmm.

    9. JR

      You know? It's like, there, it's, there, it works out.

    10. YP

      Yeah.

    11. JR

      Like, everybody agrees. You know, and he's, he does not waver.

    12. YP

      Mm-hmm.

    13. JR

      And he does not censor himsh- himself. He's, he's always telling you fucking, the straight dope, w- no matter what or how uncomfortable or how weird the conversation is.

    14. YP

      Yeah. Yeah. And that, and that, that model's pure.

    15. JR

      Yeah.

    16. YP

      Straight to the fans. No middle man, no, uh, corporate, uh, you know, ethics office or whatever. And people crave that. People want that. And that, that's why the succ- uh, the success of that model is, is the success that it is because people want it.

    17. JR

      Yeah.

    18. YP

      And, and you know-

    19. JR

      Well, they realize the opposite

  14. 29:4231:14

    Corporate censored information

    1. JR

      is dangerous. When you have corporate-censored information and you're not getting the full unbiased story, you're getting a filtered-down story that has been decided upon by a bunch of executives. They have, say, "Well, we're gonna leave th-..." And, you know, much like what you were talking about with the prosecuting attorney, who was gonna leave out some information that would make us look bad or make the story look bad, and let's, let's steer it in a certain direction.

    2. YP

      Right.

    3. JR

      We're not gonna lie, but we're gonna eliminate some stuff that would throw into question whether or not w- our story is, is accurate.

    4. YP

      Right. And people see through it now.

    5. JR

      Yeah.

    6. YP

      Uh, uh, uh, a lot of the reason is podcasts like yours where you're like, "Hey, I'll let a guy talk for four hours. You know, you could tune in when you want, tune in for as long as you want. It's on you, but I'm gonna let him talk, and, um, there's, I'm not beholden to-"

    7. JR

      Yeah.

    8. YP

      "... you know, some peacock logo or..." You know, you, you're beholden to probably a few-

    9. JR

      (laughs)

    10. YP

      ... pew, few vitamins and a few weights.

    11. NA

      (laughs)

    12. JR

      (laughs)

    13. NA

      But they never give you advice.

    14. YP

      Which are good for you.

    15. JR

      They are good for you.

    16. YP

      (laughs)

    17. JR

      They never give you advice, though.

    18. YP

      Yeah.

    19. JR

      Never get advice from the vitamin companies.

    20. YP

      No.

    21. JR

      No.

    22. YP

      Should I get the oni- uh-

    23. JR

      I'll get it for you. What do you want?

    24. YP

      ... when you jerk off, that, that, when you-

    25. JR

      Jerk-off stuff? What are you talking about?

    26. YP

      No, when you jerk, that, that jerk-off motion?

    27. JR

      Kettlebells? Is that what you're saying?

    28. YP

      Kettlebells. You can tell I don't really work out.

    29. NA

      (laughs)

    30. YP

      The jerk-off motion thing.

  15. 31:1435:04

    Kettlebell cardio workout

    1. YP

    2. JR

      No. The, the key is, like, you can get a really good workout with a 35-pound kettlebell.

    3. YP

      All right.

    4. JR

      A really good full body workout. There's a great video called, uh, Extreme Kettlebell Cardio Workout. It's, um, uh, Keith Weber, and he's a guy who's been on the podcast before, and he's, uh ... I have no affiliation with him other than he's great. He's just a great guy. In his, uh, video, you use one 35-pound kettlebell and it'll fucking crush you. It's incredible.

    5. YP

      Yeah.

    6. JR

      In the beginning you're doing like, "This is easy. I can fucking do this all day long."

    7. YP

      Yeah.

    8. JR

      30 seconds later, you're like, "Oh, this is gonna be a problem."

    9. YP

      Right.

    10. JR

      "This is gonna be ... " And then four minutes later, you're like, "Fuck." The next day you can barely walk. It's incredible.

    11. YP

      'Cause you're using your whole body, right? Like you have to-

    12. JR

      Using your whole body.

    13. YP

      Yeah.

    14. JR

      And it's, it's a cardio workout.

    15. YP

      Yeah.

    16. JR

      You know, but it is, it's a strength-producing workout too, and it, it ... The thing about things like kettlebells are, they strengthen everything. It strengthens your stabilizing muscles, your balance, all your joints, it all, all that stuff all works together because it's all working together as one unit. You, you're not just bench-pressing or curling.

    17. YP

      Right.

    18. JR

      You're doing something where the whole body is involved in the exercise.

    19. YP

      They could clip that-

    20. JR

      I love-

    21. YP

      ... and make that the commercial right there.

    22. JR

      I love them.

    23. YP

      Yeah.

    24. JR

      I love them. It's my primary means of working out. If you could tell me I could only have two pieces of equipment, I would say, "I want a 50-pound kettlebell and a chin-up bar." That's all I want. I'll be good with that.

    25. YP

      And a nice bath maybe.

    26. JR

      And a nice bath.

    27. YP

      Yeah, you've been doing good with that. Up to 20, you did 20 minutes?

    28. JR

      Yeah, I'm not doing that again.

    29. YP

      Yeah.

    30. JR

      I had a headache all day yesterday. The day before I did it-

  16. 35:0436:32

    Challenging yourself

    1. JR

      things, challenging yourself, making yourself more resilient, mentally resilient. That's just my, my thoughts on it. Uh, CBD is good for anxiety too. That's, uh, that's proven. Some, some people think that anxiety is, uh, connected to a lack of rigorous exercise. Some people think it's connected to inflammation. Some people ... There's, I mean, there's a lot of thoughts on that. And I think the problem with anybody giving anyone a diagnosis is each human being has an individual level of anxiety that's impossible to determine. Like, I could weigh you and I know how much you weigh. I can't weigh your anxiety.

    2. YP

      Right.

    3. JR

      You know what I mean? It's like, you say, "Hey, doctor, I'm, I'm fucking anxious. I have all this anxiety, I'm freaking out." Doctor doesn't know what that means. Like, what, is, is your anxiety legitimate?

    4. YP

      Right.

    5. JR

      Like, maybe someone's trying to kill you.

    6. YP

      Right.

    7. JR

      You know, maybe, uh, maybe you should be anxious.

    8. YP

      Right.

    9. JR

      Or maybe you're just fucking really chemically imbalanced.

    10. YP

      Right.

    11. JR

      Maybe you could alleviate that with exercise or maybe you can't. Maybe you need medication. So no one really knows you other than you.

    12. YP

      Right. Right. I guess the only thing they, they start to get a sense of your level ag- of anxiety if you start saying like, "The Mossad's out to get me."

    13. JR

      Right.

    14. YP

      Yeah.

    15. JR

      If you start saying-

    16. YP

      "I'm Queen Elizabeth reincarnated."

    17. JR

      Yeah, "I come from alien DNA, they visit me regularly."

    18. YP

      Yeah, yeah, stuff like that. Yeah.

    19. JR

      Imagine if you did. Imagine if the, you really were an alien hybrid and nobody wanted to listen and you're like, "I'm telling you guys."

    20. YP

      Yeah. That would be hilarr- that would be something that the aliens would do just for entertainment.

    21. JR

      Well,

  17. 36:3238:47

    Charisma

    1. JR

      it would be really hard to convince someone of anything extraordinary. Really hard to convince someone of any- that you're, you're involved in anything that's re- really off the deep end crazy.

    2. YP

      ... right. It's ver- it's much easier to convince people of stupid stuff.

    3. JR

      Oh, yeah.

    4. YP

      People love that. If you have a little charisma, like, charisma goes a long way, dude. It's like that, uh, Quentin Tarantino from that movie, he's like, "Personality goes a long way." Like, you look at every despot in history, not one of them was a bore.

    5. JR

      Right.

    6. YP

      You can't get a lot of p- They have a lot in common with standup comics. They get up there, control the crowd, bullshit, lie, like we do.

    7. JR

      Well, how about Hitler?

    8. YP

      Hitler was c- he crushed.

    9. JR

      He would crush.

    10. YP

      I would watch those videos. I don't even speak German but you get goosebumps and you're just, you find yourself, y- y- you, you just like, "Whatever he's saying, I'm on, I'm on board."

    11. JR

      Well, the thing about Hitler-

    12. YP

      He means it.

    13. JR

      He does mean it, and he's enhanced. He's on cocaine, he's on testosterone, he's on meth. He's on a d- a gang of different things.

    14. YP

      Panzerchocolade I think they called it, right? Uh-

    15. JR

      Is that what they called it?

    16. YP

      Well, it was like, uh, chocolate. It was meth in chocolate, and they called it Panzerchocolade because they would give it to the guys in the panzer tanks.

    17. JR

      Oh.

    18. YP

      And so they were, those dudes were just... Yeah, th- they were lit.

    19. JR

      They were lit.

    20. YP

      They were lit. I don't think you can go to war without being lit, right?

    21. JR

      Well, it's probably not wise.

    22. YP

      Right.

    23. JR

      Like, why would you wanna be... If, if you're definitely gonna go to war, wouldn't you wanna be on meth?

    24. YP

      Absolutely.

    25. JR

      Yeah.

    26. YP

      Yeah.

    27. JR

      I mean, if, 100%. The only thing I would think is, like, maybe you would make decisions that wouldn't be intelligent.

    28. YP

      Right.

    29. JR

      You wouldn't make wise choices. You would just be a berserker.

    30. YP

      Right. You'd be like, uh, you think, you see Bugs Bunny and you'd just be shooting... Yeah, you'd be tripping.

  18. 38:4739:22

    Chocolate

    1. JR

      Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe Moses-

    2. NA

      Real, uh, before we get too far, that Panzerchocolade thing might not be real.

    3. YP

      Really?

    4. NA

      I just said this th- that the company that made it, I guess, is a fake image of supposed Panzerchocolade in combination with their trademark. It might've been just with this company's lettering, but they said it was not real.

    5. YP

      Mm. So they would put, what would, uh, so they, uh, uh, allegedly though, they put meth in chocolate, right?

    6. NA

      Yeah, there was something else I just found that had, had a different name, but then I found what you said.

    7. YP

      Yeah.

    8. NA

      So, uh, it might just, might just be what you were saying, that that word might not be real, but they did-

    9. YP

      Oh.

    10. NA

      ... put some, some drug in chocolate.

    11. YP

      Panzerchocolade.

    12. JR

      Yeah. It says, "However, this Panzerchocolade

  19. 39:2239:57

    The Nazi Regime

    1. JR

      never existed. Zotter distances itself with all clarity from this branded reputation damaging misrepresentation which establishes a non-existent connection between our company, founded in 1999-

    2. YP

      Oh, that's, that's different.

    3. JR

      ... and the Nazi regime."

    4. YP

      This is, like, I guess a company that's saying, like, "Hey, we're y-"

    5. NA

      I, I know, that's what I was trying to say, right? Th- that the actual chocolate drug probably did exist, but the thing with-

    6. YP

      They didn't call it Panzerchocolade, just to-

    7. JR

      Mm-l Oh, it's the company Zotter, so you're saying-

    8. NA

      Yeah, yeah. That's what I'm saying, yeah.

    9. YP

      Yeah, Zotter-

    10. NA

      They were saying-

    11. JR

      ... has been refuting it, because they're the company that started in 1999. But a lot of fucking companies

  20. 39:5740:47

    Hitlers Race Car

    1. JR

      started during Nazi Germany, right?

    2. YP

      BMW.

    3. JR

      Audi.

    4. YP

      Audi.

    5. JR

      Did you ever see Hitler's race car?

    6. YP

      Uh-

    7. JR

      Hitler had an Audi race car, pretty fucking dope.

    8. YP

      Really?

    9. JR

      Looked like a cigar.

    10. YP

      Yeah.

    11. JR

      Like an old school, like a cigar with, like, wheels poking out the side.

    12. YP

      Right.

    13. JR

      You ever see it?

    14. YP

      I, I don't think I have, yeah.

    15. JR

      I think it was, uh, I think it was, eh, either went for auction or something happened a few years back, where, uh... It's a pretty dope looking car. You gotta think, like, for 1940, like, if you saw that thing in 1940, it would be the shit.

    16. YP

      Right.

    17. JR

      You know?

    18. YP

      Well, you'd think the Fuhrer would have the, he'd have the top model. It'd be weird if he rolled around in a Volkswagen.

    19. NA

      I think it's the s- same car with a Mercedes logo and a Audi logo.

    20. JR

      Oh, yeah?

    21. NA

      Unless someone's Photoshopping stuff.

    22. YP

      I mean, that's a, that is a lit mobile right there.

    23. NA

      See, that says 12 million but it has a Audi logo.

    24. YP

      Yeah.

    25. JR

      Wow, look how pretty it is.

    26. YP

      Germans can make cars, man.

    27. JR

      Oh, fuck yeah

  21. 40:4741:47

    Hitlers Auto Union

    1. JR

      they can.

    2. YP

      Yeah.

    3. JR

      Look at that thing. That's so pretty.

    4. YP

      It is.

    5. JR

      And that's, uh, from what year is that? Hitler's racing car. Is, is there a good side profile of it, Jamie? So there's one... Wow, look at that thing.

    6. YP

      Yeah.

    7. JR

      Rare Nazi era race car on display. Look how fucking pretty that is.

    8. YP

      That is nice.

    9. JR

      If you're driving down the 405 with that bad boy-

    10. YP

      Yeah.

    11. JR

      L- look at that right there. Wow. The most expensive car ever. Hitler's Auto Union on the auction block, and that's got the Audi logo on it.

    12. YP

      So that was his-

    13. JR

      Wow.

    14. YP

      ... was that his particular, like, if you sniffed the seat you're sniffing-

    15. JR

      (laughs)

    16. YP

      ... where his ass was?

    17. JR

      That's very different.

    18. NA

      That's a little different, yeah.

    19. JR

      Yeah. Um, no, I don't think so. I think he just sponsored, you know, he sponsored race cars. You know, they, they sponsored athletes for the Olympics, they sponsored all that shit, you know.

    20. YP

      You ever see that, uh, photo of him in the, um, in the stands at the, uh, Olympics when he's tr-

    21. JR

      Oh, yeah.

    22. YP

      ... when he's, like, on meth.

    23. JR

      Tripping balls.

    24. YP

      Yeah.

    25. JR

      There's video of it.

    26. YP

      Yeah.

    27. JR

      Tripping balls, like-

    28. YP

      He looks like a Orthodox Jew at the Wailing Wall.

    29. JR

      Just tweaking.

    30. YP

      Yeah.

  22. 41:4743:17

    Japan

    1. JR

      that girl, that amazing gymnast who everybody's shitting on-

    2. YP

      Simone Biles.

    3. JR

      ... k- yeah, 'cause she just bailed on the Olympics-

    4. YP

      Yeah.

    5. JR

      She's like, "I can't take anymore." I was just reading that she regularly takes, um, uh, ADHD medication, and they said that she can no longer take it because in Japan you can't take this stuff. She takes Ritalin. Find out if this is true, because if that is the case, they said that d- during the last Olympics, uh, I guess 2016, she took this stuff and she won a bunch of gold medals.

    6. YP

      Yeah.

    7. JR

      And now, uh, 'cause she's regularly on this.

    8. YP

      Right.

    9. JR

      This is her medication.

    10. YP

      And so they're saying she can't because-

    11. JR

      Japan.

    12. YP

      ... Japan.

    13. JR

      Japan is ma- It's illegal to take, uh, whether it's Adderall or Ritalin. I think it's illegal to take those in Japan.

    14. YP

      So weird-

    15. JR

      This is what I was reading today.

    16. YP

      ... how cultures have their different-

    17. JR

      Yeah.

    18. YP

      I mean, you could, like, buy panties in a vending machine, but-... you can't take Ritalin? (laughs)

    19. JR

      Well, I think they're very sensitive to amphetamines because amphetamines and methamphetamines were the reason why the kamikazes were willing to fucking fly their planes-

    20. YP

      Right. Right.

    21. JR

      ... right into boats like ... Nah!

    22. YP

      (laughs)

    23. JR

      Fucking gritting their teeth the whole way.

    24. YP

      Yeah.

    25. JR

      Boom!

    26. YP

      That's why Lexus probably does so well, 'cause if, like, you mess up at the factory, you have to, like, walk off a plank 'cause of honor. They're into honor.

    27. JR

      Really?

    28. YP

      Well, I'm just ... I don't know if that's true, but it is-

    29. JR

  23. 43:1745:37

    Simone Biles

    1. JR

      cars.

    2. NA

      So this is from the-

    3. JR

      Okay.

    4. NA

      ... last Olympics.

    5. JR

      Okay.

    6. YP

      In Brazil.

    7. JR

      Simone Biles addresses leaked medical records and ADHD misconceptions. US gymnast superstar Simone Biles was in a different kind of spotlight Tuesday after Russian hackers circulated confidential medical reports in the World Anti-Doping Agency database that showed her use of methylfendate, methylphenidate, a stimulant used to treat ADHD. Biles, 19, was forced to publicly address her ADHD and her approval of the use of medication after a leak, "I have ADHD and I have taken medicine for it since I was a kid. Please know I believe in a clean sport. I've always followed the rules and will continue to do so as far as play is critical to s- uh, is fair play is critical to sport and is very important to me." So she's been on this medication for a long time, but, uh, see if you can find that, uh, an article that says she was not allowed to take this ADHD medication in Japan, because that's what they were saying. They were saying that during this Olympics, they told her she has to get off of it. If that's the case, that would greatly contribute to her anxiety and her m- mental problems that she's having. Imagine if you're on a medication for last, at least five years, right? She's been on it since, uh, 2016. And then all of a sudden they tell you can't be on it anymore and you have to compete in the Olympics.

    8. YP

      Yeah.

    9. JR

      And you're used to being on this medication.

    10. YP

      Yeah. No, that'll-

    11. JR

      So fuck.

    12. YP

      ... that'll, that'll cause you some strife. But this could be fishy. Like, they're saying they treat it for ADHD, but what if this is like a drug that makes them, like, super focused-

    13. JR

      Well, it does make you super focused.

    14. YP

      ... super focused?

    15. JR

      I'm sure it does. I mean that's-

    16. YP

      So that's k- Yeah.

    17. JR

      That's why they say pitchers can't take it.

    18. YP

      Right.

    19. JR

      Like, pitchers want to take Adderall.

    20. YP

      Right.

    21. JR

      Yeah.

    22. YP

      And they would ... The pi- pitchers used to take, uh, Greenies, which were-

    23. JR

      Right.

    24. YP

      ... basically like some sort of-

    25. JR

      Amphetamine.

    26. YP

      ... amphetamines.

    27. JR

      Yeah.

    28. YP

      So this could be a similar kind of scandal where the Russian hackers ... Freaking Russians ... Uh, you know, the Russians and the Chinese are just like, they're beating us on the online, dude. They're like, they're like Iago in Othello.

    29. JR

      (laughs)

    30. YP

      And they're just kind of manipulating us.

  24. 45:3747:02

    Joe Biden

    1. JR

      the people that made sure that the laws went through that treated people very differently for crack than they did for cocaine. I mean, that has been ... If you want to talk about ... If you want to see clear evidence of racism in prosecutions-

    2. YP

      Oh, yeah.

    3. JR

      ... it's the difference between how they treat cocaine arrests versus how they treat crack arrests.

    4. YP

      Yes.

    5. JR

      And crack, if you talk to Dr. Carl Hart from fucking Colombia, who's a brilliant guy, he'll tell you that crack is cocaine.

    6. YP

      Right.

    7. JR

      It's just a, a cheaper version of it. It's just about the way it's processed and the way it's made, but essentially the psychoactive chemical is the same.

    8. YP

      For sure. And I think, uh, the drug, drug crimes really you see the systematic-

    9. JR

      Yeah.

    10. YP

      ... oppression of Black people in drug cri- Uh, like, it's like, yeah, white guys doing cocaine, they're like-

    11. JR

      Exactly.

    12. YP

      But like, yeah, I mean, yeah, Black guy's got a bag of marijuana, he goes away for 15 years or whatever. That's been th- a total injustice-

    13. JR

      Yeah.

    14. YP

      ... in our country. Yeah.

    15. JR

      Meanwhile, his fucking son-

    16. YP

      Yeah.

    17. JR

      ... smoked crack.

    18. YP

      Kid smokes crack. (laughs)

    19. JR

      (laughs) He's got a couple bucks.

    20. YP

      He parties, dude. Yeah, but he-

    21. JR

      He's got money and he's got-

    22. YP

      He's gotta taste, you know?

    23. JR

      Yeah.

    24. YP

      He's gotta ... Once you develop, it's like, you know, once you experience 100% pure grape juice, y- it's delicious. But if you were raised on grape drink, you love that grape drink.

    25. JR

      Right. It's a different flavor.

    26. YP

      It's a different flavor. He loves that grape drink drug.

    27. JR

      Yeah. Yeah.

    28. YP

      'Cause that's basically like ... It's kind of like a cheaper form of the real thing.

  25. 47:0248:47

    Hunter Biden

    1. YP

    2. JR

      It's a cheaper form of the real thing and I bet part of it is being naughty.

    3. YP

      Yeah. Hunter Biden likes to be naughty.

    4. JR

      He's a naughty boy.

    5. YP

      He's a naughty kid.

    6. JR

      Right? He's naughty. His dad was the vice president-

    7. YP

      Yeah.

    8. JR

      ... and he's just being naughty.

    9. YP

      Yeah.

    10. JR

      You know? He's eating hookers' assholes-

    11. YP

      Yeah.

    12. JR

      ... and smoking crack and getting wild.

    13. YP

      (laughs) Yeah.

    14. JR

      Getting foot jobs.

    15. YP

      He's fun. I mean, he's a fun kid.

    16. JR

      I bet he's fun.

    17. YP

      I'd rather hang out with him.

    18. JR

      I tried to get him on the podcast.

    19. YP

      Yeah.

    20. JR

      I tried to get him on the podcast.

    21. YP

      Well, t- tell him you got some crack.

    22. JR

      He said no. But here's the thing, is like they, they asked for him to be on the podcast first and I think I was like, "Ah, get the fuck out of here with that." And then as time went on, I was like ... I think one day I was really high-

    23. YP

      Mm-hmm.

    24. JR

      ... and then I had this epiphany like, "Why wouldn't I have him on?" Like, he's just a man.

    25. YP

      Yeah.

    26. JR

      And not only that, he's ... Like, everybody's mad at him. I'm not mad at him. And I'm not a mean guy. Like, if I had him on the podcast, I would be nice to him. I don't know what it's like to be born a son of a, a, a, a wealthy famous politician who happened to be the vice president of the United States, who also drafted the 1994 sweeping crime bill. I don't know who the- what the fuck that would be like.

    27. YP

      Right.

    28. JR

      It'd be weird.

    29. YP

      Right.

    30. JR

      It's a weird life, man.

  26. 48:4751:17

    Johnny B

    1. JR

      He was, uh, he was, at the time, my best friend, but one of my best friends ever. If I had to make a list of, like, 20 of my all-time best friends, my friend Johnny B, he would be w- he would be right up there. He was fucking amazing. He was an amazing guy, but he was a drug addict, and he was wild.

    2. YP

      Yeah.

    3. JR

      Just a wild dude. And, uh, he would, he would always have... You know, I, I've dropped him off places sometimes. I'd have him, I'd bring him to go cop where he'd pick up drugs and then I'd have to take him to a liquor store so he could buy 40 ounces to, to take the edge off because he was so, he was so fucked up on crack.

    4. YP

      That sounds very like early '90s, '80s.

    5. JR

      Yes.

    6. YP

      Just crack, '40s.

    7. JR

      Yep, exactly. It was ear- early '90s.

    8. YP

      Yeah.

    9. JR

      Yeah.

    10. YP

      Yeah.

    19. JR

      Yeah.

    20. YP

      You lose 'cause you got the Ill Street Blues.

    21. JR

      (laughs)

    22. YP

      Those guys could rhyme, dude.

    23. JR

      Fuck, dude, Kil G- Kool G, Kool G, excuse me, Kool G Rap is, to this day, in my opinion, one of the most underrated rappers of all time. He's one of the all-time greats.

    24. YP

      W- without a doubt.

    25. JR

      Cock blocking, that song Cock Blocking.

    26. YP

      Without a doubt. If you listen to Ill Street, but you listen to the lyrics of Ill Street Blues-

    27. JR

      Amazing.

    28. YP

      ... just amazing.

    29. JR

      Amazing.

    30. YP

      Yeah. Rakim.

    Breakdancing

    1. JR

      loves break dancing.

    2. YP

      Yeah.

    3. JR

      Have you ever followed Stance Elements on, uh-

    4. YP

      No.

    5. JR

      ... Instagram?

    6. YP

      No.

    7. JR

      Stance Elements is this hip hop page, uh, it's a break dancing page on, um, on Instagram. And what they're doing right now with hip hop, with break dancing rather, is it doesn't even make sense. Like the physical feats of spectacular coordination and strength that these fucking people can do now. They're like, forget about gymnastics.

    8. YP

      Right.

    9. JR

      Really. Break dancing should be in the fucking Olympics.

    10. YP

      Yeah.

    11. JR

      Did you ever see, um, what is that dude's name? Uh, Pocket... B-Boy Pocket Kim? What the fuck is his name? How do you say his name? There's this ki- dude, and he, he defies gravity. Like it doesn't make sense. B-Boy Pocket Kim? Yeah, B-Boy Pocket. And, uh, his name is, uh, Ji Joo Kim, and, uh, he is fucking wild, dude. When you see him move around, you cannot believe the kind of shit this guy can do with his body. And it's all be- it's all break dancing. It's all B-Boys.

    12. YP

      Yeah.

    13. NA

      I picked something too simple here.

    14. JR

      This is very simple. He's just hanging out with these ladies.

    15. YP

      Yeah.

    16. JR

      You gotta, you gotta... Go, go to that one.

    17. YP

      That was like a-

    18. JR

      He's spinning on his fucking head. Look at this.

    19. YP

      That's why you pulled up my Maurissa clip-

    20. JR

      Look at this.

    21. YP

      ... when Eliza said, you pulled up a promo.

    22. NA

      Hey, I... (laughs)

    23. JR

      Look at this. Look at this.

    24. NA

      It's very fast.

    25. YP

      That's crazy.

    26. JR

      Dude, watch that. Look at what he's doing on his head.

    27. YP

      Yeah.

    28. JR

      Watch why he brings his legs together.

    29. YP

      Oh.

    30. JR

      He's spinning like a top on the top of his head.

    Breakdancing in JiuJitsu

    1. JR

      dancing.

    2. YP

      Yeah.

    3. JR

      And now there's a couple of friends that I have that are in the, uh, jujitsu world. Um, Richie Martinez and Geo Martinez, they started out as break dancers. And I remember when they first came over to ji- to jujitsu, uh, Eddie Bravo, my instructor, was like, "Dude, there's something going on." Like, "Break dancing is next level." Like the strength that these guys have, the coordination they have, and the, the ability to control their body is unprecedented. So he started literally practicing break dancing moves as a, a method of getting better at jujitsu.

    4. YP

      That's like Herschel Walker. He did ballet.

    5. JR

      Yes.

    6. YP

      Yeah.

    7. JR

      Yeah, exactly.

    8. YP

      Makes a lot of sense.

    9. JR

      Yeah.

    10. YP

      Makes a lot of sense. And it's interesting to see it evolve where now, like, like athletes, like athletics where it's just more faster-

    11. JR

      Mm-hmm.

    12. YP

      ... more powerful-

    13. JR

      Yeah.

    14. YP

      ... more insane.

    15. JR

      Yep.

    16. YP

      Jujitsu's evolving too, right? In like-

    17. JR

      Oh, yeah.

    18. YP

      Like, uh, MMA, those leg kicks, that's the new thing.

    19. JR

      ... the low leg kicks.

    20. YP

      Like, the low leg kicks-

    21. JR

      Yeah.

    22. YP

      ... are like... Dudes are breaking their legs now.

    23. JR

      I know, it's crazy.

    24. YP

      So then maybe humans will evolve. They'll, like, start ki-... like, you know how those Thai, those Thai boxers kick trees and stuff?

    25. JR

      Mm-hmm.

    26. YP

      Maybe, like, now MMA guys are gonna start-

    27. JR

      (laughs)

    28. YP

      ... like, until their legs are like guns. Like, just like steel.

    29. JR

      (laughs)

    30. YP

      Because they're just snapping. Like, guys' legs... How many times recently it's been like three, four guys have just snapped their legs?

      into that fight with a cracked shin already. He, uh, he had gotten a stress fracture in his shin and got it scanned, and there's even photographs of the scans, and was putting pads on it. But I think what he was trying to do was he was trying to spar during camp with no shin and instep pads. That's what I've h- been told. I don't know if it's true. Whenever anything happens, you'll get, like, a bunch of text messages from guys. You know, "I know a guy from Conor's camp," says, "Conor was sparring with no shin pads." Like, I don't know if that's true, but that's a rare thing that, for someone to spar. Like, but he was so hell-bent on destroying Dustin Poirier, he might've done something like that.

    2. YP

      Right.

    3. JR

      And then it wound up costing him-

    4. YP

      Compromised himself.

    5. JR

      ... 'cause you, you could see his leg. It's, it's clearly there's something wrong with it going in. Th- Your leg doesn't just break like that.

    6. YP

      Right.

    7. JR

      You know, like, when you see Chris Weidman's leg break, it's real clear.

    8. YP

      Right.

    9. JR

      He throws it, it catches right where Uriah Hall's shin meets the top of the knee, or the bottom of the knee. It's a very rigid spot and it... Something has to give out and the sh- it was the shin. That makes sense.

    10. YP

      Right.

    11. JR

      The Conor one didn't really make sense.

    12. YP

      'Cause it's more of an ankle, more lower.

    13. JR

      Didn't make sense, the way it broke.

    14. YP

      No.

    15. JR

      Look, it, it... There was something wrong with it, I would imagine, already.

    16. YP

      But that one kick where he kind of checked-

    17. JR

      Mm-hmm.

    18. YP

      ... on the elbow, it was that spot.

    19. JR

      Yeah, but even then.

    20. YP

      Yeah.

    21. JR

      Even then, that's v- it's very rare that's, that's gonna make your, your instep or your shin break like that.

    22. YP

      Right. You know what's interesting is, like, not only does sports evolve, but your tolerance evolves for what you can look at 'cause now I've become such a big MMA fan and now I've seen so many of those breaks. At first, you can't look at them. You're like, "Oh, my... I can't look at him." Now you get used to it. I'm like, "I can watch a replay. I can-"

    23. JR

      Oh, dude.

    24. YP

      "I

  30. 56:271:05:40

    Fighting in person

    1. YP

      can watch 'em now."

    2. JR

      You're telling me.

    3. YP

      Yeah.

    4. JR

      I s- I've seen it in person, right?

    5. YP

      Yeah.

    6. JR

      So I've called, like, thousands of fights in person.

    7. YP

      Yes.

    8. JR

      So I've seen... I've probably seen more people get fucked up than most of the people that have ever lived.

    9. YP

      Right.

    10. JR

      If you had a, like, uh, uh... If you had a history of people that have seen people get the shit beaten out of 'em-

    11. YP

      Well-

    12. JR

      ... I gotta be high on that list.

    13. YP

      You're high on that list, but also, like, there's a lot... Uh, WorldStarHipHop has done a good job for all of us.

    14. JR

      It has-

    15. YP

      Yeah.

    16. JR

      ... but there's a difference between watching something on a screen and seeing-

    17. YP

      And watching it live.

    18. JR

      ... something in real life.

    19. YP

      You're right, yeah.

    20. JR

      You get really accustomed to seeing, like, injuries in real life.

    21. YP

      Yeah.

    22. JR

      I'm very accustomed to injuries in a weird way.

    23. YP

      I love your outfit. Y- Is that the same outfit or you just got a bunch of, like, black shirts?

    24. JR

      David August.

    25. YP

      Yeah.

    26. JR

      I have, uh, t- like, tailored suits that are made by David August. They fit-

    27. YP

      It's a good look, yeah.

    28. JR

      ... my fucking chimp body.

    29. YP

      Yeah. (laughs)

    30. JR

      I have to get things that (laughs) fit me right. Yeah, they make beautiful clothes.
