    7. CD

      This i-

    8. JR

      How old are you?

    9. CD

      40.

    10. JR

      How've you managed to get this far with no cigars?

    11. CD

      I don't know how to do any, like, really guy shit like that. Like, I don't know how to play pool, cigars. I don't really know how to do that, but I do know every state capital.

    12. JR

      Okay.

    13. YP

      Yeah.

    14. CD

      Is this the right way?

    15. YP

      Yeah.

    16. JR

      You got it.

    17. CD

      He's gonna vomit. I wanna see him vomit on this show.

    18. JR

      I don't think he's gonna vomit. Don't inhale it all. You gotta get the fire-

    19. CD

      First you gotta lear- yeah, like you gotta-

    20. JR

      ... lower, lower your h- hand.

    21. CD

      Yeah.

    22. JR

      Yeah. Are you doing this on purpose?

    23. CD

      I swear on my kids I've never done this.

    24. YP

      Okay.

    25. JR

      No, no, I mean the way you're being retarded.

    26. CD

      Hmm.

    27. JR

      Like, get the fire on the f- (laughs)

    28. YP

      There we go. Right on there, yeah.

    29. JR

      Get it on there, get it on there.

    30. YP

      Get it in there.

  2. 15:0030:00

    Mm-hmm. …

    1. JR

      it is, right? There... It's thought patterns. Your m- You allow your brain to go down these very detrimental thought patterns.

    2. YP

      Mm-hmm.

    3. JR

      And y- y- you under- you have to, like, separate you, consciousness, from these patterns that you allow your, your attention to go down. That's what it is.

    4. YP

      Yeah.

    5. JR

      And if you can shut those off, you'll, you'll have a happier life. You have to, you have to understand where they're going. And when they go in a negative, detrimental anxiety spiral... Now, I'm not saying this will work for everybody, 'cause I do believe that some an- some anxiety is chemical. I believe that some people have a bad balance, um, I... 'Cause I've known people like that. It's a real thing. And I can't, I could never say that the way I think is the way everybody thinks. There's no way. But I know for me, that with me, I know b- because of extreme experiences, I know how to shut those things off. So, from fighting, from hunting, from doing standup, from doing a lot of live things where you're in front of like thousands of people, I know how to shut that part of y- the brain off that goes down those roads. I know what it is. You know? I've experienced it. I've h- I never had a panic attack, but I've had anxiety, and I've, I've freaked out before. And then I was like, "Why did I react like that?" And then you look at it in retrospect, you go, "Okay. I started spiraling and then what if this happens? And then what if that happens? And what if this happens? And what if that happens? Ah!" Okay, don't do that.

    6. YP

      Yeah.

    7. JR

      And then get to that spot and r- have enough mental clarity and amo- enough sovereignty, control over the mind to not allow it to go down there.

    8. YP

      It's tough when you have a comedian's brain, because that's what we do. We spend a lot of time in our heads analyzing things.

    9. CD

      Mm-hmm.

    10. JR

      Mm-hmm.

    11. YP

      Analyzing things.

    12. JR

      Oh, yeah.

    13. YP

      And sometimes it can turn on you.

    14. JR

      Yeah.

    15. CD

      Yeah.

    16. YP

      Yeah.

    17. JR

      It can.

    18. CD

      If it starts with what if, it's anxiety. Push it out of the brain, folks.

    19. YP

      And anxiety is a liar.

    20. CD

      What if is no good. No. Anxiety is a liar.

    21. YP

      It's a liar.

    22. CD

      Fucking liar.

    23. JR

      Anxiety is a lie, but that what if sometimes is good. Like, "What if I do this?"

    24. YP

      Yeah.

    25. CD

      Mm-hmm.

    26. JR

      "What if I just relook at this?" What if... Like, not... What if is not bad. What if, what if if it's attached to, "What if it all falls apart? What if everyone hates me?" Like, every now and then I'll get a text from a friend that's like, "Hey, man, are we cool?" Like, "What are you talking about?" Like, "What are you talking about? Of course we're cool. Like, what, what happened?"

    27. YP

      Yeah.

    28. JR

      "Oh, I just... No, no, I haven't heard from you in a while." I'm like, "Are you okay?"

    29. YP

      Yeah.

    30. JR

      Like, "What is... Like, coo- let's talk on the phone." Like-

  3. 30:0045:00

    Yeah. …

    1. JR

      thinking of everything as being static, that everything is just a constant progression towards-

    2. CD

      Yeah.

    3. JR

      ... what you are now.

    4. CD

      Yeah. Even though, listen, dude, I love America. I bleed red, white, and blue. I, I, I stay draped in the American flag. I love our country.

    5. JR

      I believe you.

    6. CD

      I d- I do understand terrorism-

    7. YP

      (laughs)

    8. CD

      ... terrorists, like old-school terrorists when, like, you know, if Americans, like, bombed their country for whatever reason and killed their babies, they're like, "Well, now I'm gonna fucking go lethal and I'm gonna start killing everybody in that country when I can."

    9. JR

      Of course.

    10. CD

      I just get it where I didn't get it before I had kids.

    11. JR

      Yeah.

    12. CD

      But I'm like, if somebody did that to me and my children and took them away, I would just go crazy. I'd learn how to light a cigar and I'd start fucking killing people because I have nothing left to live for, I feel.

    13. JR

      Of course.

    14. CD

      So I get it now.

    15. JR

      Of course. I mean, it's not-

    16. CD

      Yeah.

    17. JR

      ... it's not a coincidence that some of the scariest people live in war-torn parts of the world.

    18. CD

      Sure.

    19. JR

      Like the fighters that come to the UFC, the scariest motherfuckers are like the guys from Chechnya-

    20. YP

      Mm-hmm.

    21. JR

      ... like, you know, guys from Dagestan. Like those guys are terrifying.

    22. CD

      Yeah.

    23. JR

      Why? Well, look at the history of that part of the world.

    24. CD

      Yeah.

    25. YP

      Yeah.

    26. JR

      You know, I mean, you have to be a hard person to fucking survive.

    27. CD

      Right.

    28. YP

      Yeah.

    29. JR

      You know?

    30. YP

      Yeah.

  4. 45:001:00:00

    Okay. …

    1. JR

      a bot's passage from... I think that's probably a boy's. It's probably a typo. A boy's passage from, uh, uh, boyhood to adulthood consists of six stages, which can take anywhere from 10 to 12 years to complete. Throughout most of the six stages, the act of having a stick of cane inserted in the nostrils and the performance of fellatio are integral to the process of becoming a man.

    2. CD

      Okay.

    3. JR

      So sucking dick is integral to the process.

    4. CD

      You gotta do it.

    5. JR

      A b-... The two practices have been described as inhumane, homosexual, and child abuse, with such actions meaning prison in most countries, a topic we will delve into later. For now, the big question was, why would they do this? In short, men are viewed as being born with the devil of woman around them, kind of like an evil spirit. They are thus removed from women at a young age in order to fix them. Women bleed, so men need nose bled letting, which is the sticks going up their noses, while fellatio experiment is because the semen of the man possesses the masculine spirit. Therefore, if they inject the semen, they will become proper men.

    6. CD

      Oh.

    7. NA

      Yeah.

    8. CD

      All right. Okay.

    9. NA

      There's no way this society was not formed by some crazy guy who was on a serious, seriously high dose of psychedelics.

    10. JR

      L- but hold on, hold on.

    11. CD

      (laughs)

    12. JR

      Go back. Go back. Look at this, this... After the ceremony is complete, the men then get married and live heterosexual lifestyles, with the exception that they will now be the ones receiving rather than giving the fellatio.

    13. CD

      Okay.

    14. NA

      Maybe they're right.

    15. JR

      What if they're right?

    16. CD

      But, Joe, if you look at...

    17. NA

      (laughs) They're just having kids blow them, but they're straight. "Oh, I'm totally straight."

    18. JR

      (laughs)

    19. CD

      But, but, but what we're seeing now, we c- This is cringe, but if you go back to the 1400s or whatever, this was just life. Alexander the Great, one of the most manly men of all time, we did a whole episode on him, found out he had a full boyfriend the entire time that the people celebrated him for.

    20. NA

      And a eunuch.

    21. CD

      And a eunuch.

    22. NA

      And a eunuch lover.

    23. JR

      And a eunuch.

    24. CD

      Yeah. Yeah.

    25. JR

      And he banged out kids and eunuchs. That was a big part of sex back-

    26. NA

      Yeah.

    27. CD

      Mm-hmm. ... in those days. You got a eunuch, you got... You found a boy that you thought was handsome, clipped his nuts, removed any sexual urges he had, and then he would watch your harem of women that you had, that you would take for the em- for the empire, and then you would bang him out and it wasn't gay.

    28. NA

      Yeah.

    29. JR

      Papa New Guinea rules.

    30. CD

      Well, you know what Nero, what Nero did.

  5. 1:00:001:03:34

    Now you add that…

    1. JR

      have a god.

    2. YP

      Now you add that to what's going on with the drones, and Joe Rogan just solved what's going on with the drones. It's fucking AI-

    3. JR

      Right.

    4. YP

      ... launching these drones on their own.

    5. JR

      Yup. Could be.

    6. YP

      AI has decided to go rogue and is throwing 'em out there, and it's doing it probably for the same-

    7. JR

      Yeah.

    8. YP

      ... what we did when we got technology. We all started jerking off-

    9. JR

      Right.

    10. YP

      Porn got huge.

    11. CD

      That's what it is.

    12. YP

      And maybe AI is just Peeping Tom looking in windows and stuff, trying to get, trying to get some material to jerk off.

    13. CD

      When you say AI, when you say AI, do you mean Chinese?

    14. YP

      I mean Chinese.

    15. CD

      Because you're saying the Chinese, as that's who- the drones belong to, the Chinese.

    16. YP

      I mean Chinese. I mean Chinese, yeah.

    17. CD

      Is that what you think? That's what we're thinking over here on, on the East Coast. We're just thinking it's got to be the Chinese because that's- that's what we're thinking.

    18. YP

      They've been doing it for a couple years. You know that. They've been doing it for a couple years.

    19. JR

      Well, you know, they don't have the restrictions that we have as far as the FAA.

    20. CD

      Right.

    21. JR

      So the FAA, it puts a lot of restrictions on drone manufacturing, which is why most drone manufacturing is done in China, like the real high-end stuff.

    22. CD

      Yeah.

    23. YP

      Mm-hmm.

    24. JR

      Like, it's difficult to do because in order to fly some of them, you have to have a pilot's license.

    25. YP

      Yeah.

    26. JR

      So that gets real squirrelly. You don't have to go to fucking flight school to pilot a drone.

    27. CD

      Yeah.

    28. JR

      Where in China, they don't have any of those restrictions.

    29. CD

      Right.

    30. JR

      And they also have a lot of resources that they're pouring into drone technology. Have you seen that fucking dragon thing that they did?
