- 0:03Speaker 1: Check it out the Joe Logan Experience showIn My Day
- 0:06Speaker 1: Joe Rogan Podcast by Night all day. I don't like
- 0:14Speaker 1: to talk to you.
- 0:15Speaker 2: Came on, how can you be nervous?
- 0:17Speaker 1: That's ridiculous, Like I came in slightly intimidated.
- 0:20Speaker 2: Why.
- 0:22Speaker 1: I actually don't know the answer to that because we've
- 0:24Speaker 1: never met yea, So it's not like you've intimidated me.
- 0:27Speaker 1: But I just I'm really I think what I really
- 0:31Speaker 1: enjoy about your show is just such an eclectic perspective
- 0:35Speaker 1: on so many diverse things, and it comes like so
- 0:38Speaker 1: naturally to you. I really admire that.
- 0:41Speaker 2: Well, fortunately I don't have anybody pick my guests, so
- 0:45Speaker 2: it's all people that I'm actually interested in talking to,
- 0:47Speaker 2: so it's easy.
- 0:48Speaker 1: It's just it's nice. So thank you for picking me.
- 0:51Speaker 2: Oh my pleasure. I'm excited to talk to you. Your
- 0:54Speaker 2: movie is fucking crazy, like it I knew it was
- 0:57Speaker 2: a pilot pirate movie, but I just did not expect
- 1:00Speaker 2: the ultra violence. Like from the beginning, I was like, yo,
- 1:05Speaker 2: like I locked in immediately. I was like first scene,
- 1:07Speaker 2: I was like, holy shit, like this is crazy.
- 1:11Speaker 1: Well, thank you?
- 1:11Speaker 2: That was that right to it. When you're doing something
- 1:16Speaker 2: that's that hyper violent, Like, is that does that freak
- 1:20Speaker 2: you out at all? Like you're cutting people open with
- 1:23Speaker 2: swords and stabbing them in the neck, and it's like
- 1:26Speaker 2: holy shit.
- 1:27Speaker 1: When you're doing it, you know, it's like make believes.
- 1:30Speaker 1: So it's so much fun to be like, yeah, blameing
- 1:32Speaker 1: pirates and a boo. But I mean in moments of
- 1:38Speaker 1: like scenes and stuff where I actually had to think
- 1:40Speaker 1: about what it must have been like to be a
- 1:43Speaker 1: female at that time, or because they existed. Women female
- 1:47Speaker 1: pirates existed, and we just we didn't hear many much
- 1:49Speaker 1: about stories about them. I mean, I heard about Grace O'Malley,
- 1:53Speaker 1: maybe there were Mary read like a few famous ones
- 2:00Speaker 1: she after I did my research, But like in those moments,
- 2:04Speaker 1: you're like, this stuff must have like this was real.
- 2:06Speaker 1: They lived at a time where it was survival of
- 2:09Speaker 1: the fittest. It was barbaric, and I wonder what that
- 2:14Speaker 1: must have been like. But besides that, the stunts and stuff, like,
- 2:17Speaker 1: I really have so much admiration for the amount of
- 2:23Speaker 1: precision it requires to pull that stuff off from so
- 2:26Speaker 1: many people, not just the stunt department, but like the
- 2:29Speaker 1: cameras because they're also moving and sync with you. Yeah,
- 2:32Speaker 1: and that's cool.
- 2:34Speaker 2: It is cool. Is it hard to stay in the
- 2:38Speaker 2: moment when all that is happening because you have so
- 2:40Speaker 2: much coordination and so there's there's so much choreography. There's
- 2:45Speaker 2: like he's gonna swing this way and you're gonna block
- 2:48Speaker 2: it and you're gonna dive down. It's like it's so complex.
- 2:52Speaker 2: Like these are long extended fight scenes.
- 2:54Speaker 1: We had like a lot of wunners too, like full
- 2:58Speaker 1: the whole scene in one shot, which Frankie, our director,
- 3:02Speaker 1: really loved the idea of and I honestly love it
- 3:04Speaker 1: because it brings you into that that moment is so
- 3:09Speaker 1: enriched with everything that you're supposed to feel between action
- 3:12Speaker 1: and cut. So I do love a long warner. But
- 3:16Speaker 1: you know, I come from Bollywood movies, so we have
- 3:19Speaker 1: a lot of choreography, choreography for like dance sequences where
- 3:24Speaker 1: stories are also moving forward, like between you know, your
- 3:27Speaker 1: exchange of expression or something's happening somewhere else you come back.
- 3:31Speaker 1: So I treat sort of fight sequences like dancing. It's
- 3:36Speaker 1: you learn the choreography, but that doesn't stop your face
- 3:39Speaker 1: from telling the story.
- 3:40Speaker 2: Right, That makes sense? Yeah, Yeah, And I mean it
- 3:44Speaker 2: is kind. I mean it's just choreography, whether it's choreography
- 3:48Speaker 2: with dance or choreography with movement weapons.
- 3:51Speaker 1: I had never worked with blades before this movie though.
- 3:53Speaker 2: That was cool. How much training did you have to do,
- 3:57Speaker 2: like when you found out that you're going to take
- 3:58Speaker 2: the role, how much preparation did you have to do
- 4:02Speaker 2: physically to get ready for all that stuff.
- 4:04Speaker 1: It was a cool year for me because I was
- 4:05Speaker 1: filming three jobs which were all action and stunts. So
- 4:10Speaker 1: this movie called Heads of State, which I did for
- 4:13Speaker 1: Amazon again, and then Citadel and this movie. So it
- 4:16Speaker 1: was a year of three action back jobs. So the
- 4:20Speaker 1: you know, being agile and being in it was already
- 4:23Speaker 1: part of what I was doing because that's what I
- 4:24Speaker 1: was filming every day. But the swords training was tough
- 4:28Speaker 1: and to be ambidextrous with it as well. So I
- 4:32Speaker 1: had my stunt coordinator who's doing all three movies with me.
- 4:36Speaker 1: She in between shots, she and I would just take
- 4:39Speaker 1: our rubber swarts out and do like choreography and rehearsals.
- 4:43Speaker 1: But like it took at least three or four months
- 4:45Speaker 1: of just staying in it and getting loose with it.
- 4:48Speaker 1: Also because Carl erb and my co actor had casual
- 4:53Speaker 1: learned how to do like sword fights in The Lord
- 4:56Speaker 1: of the Rings, right, So he was amazing at it.
- 4:59Speaker 1: So I didn't you know in that last duel, I
- 5:01Speaker 1: didn't want to read any less than so I kind
- 5:05Speaker 1: of went at it.
- 5:06Speaker 2: No, you look very good at it. It was really good.
- 5:09Speaker 2: So I was like, did you work with some sort
- 5:12Speaker 2: of like a kendo specialist or some fencing specialists, Like
- 5:17Speaker 2: how did you learn how to move the sword correctly?
- 5:19Speaker 1: It wasn't kendo for sure, and Deffanie wasn't fencing. It
- 5:22Speaker 1: was uniquely because the swords were. Our director was very,
- 5:27Speaker 1: very excited about the weapons in this movie and wanting
- 5:29Speaker 1: to get it really right from the period, whether it
- 5:32Speaker 1: was the guns that we used or the blades that
- 5:34Speaker 1: we used. The machete was one of my favorite weapons
- 5:38Speaker 1: in the movie because that's like her weapon in the movie,
- 5:42Speaker 1: because it's practical. Use it for coconuts, use it for skulls,
- 5:45Speaker 1: same same, And that was really fun. But our you know,
- 5:51Speaker 1: second unit director Rob Alonso had so much experience in
- 5:56Speaker 1: the amount of work that he's done prior. He came
- 5:59Speaker 1: in with a very specific idea of wanting to make
- 6:01Speaker 1: the fighting style super unique, and each set piece like
- 6:05Speaker 1: a different design of choreography. So you know, there was
- 6:09Speaker 1: one which was in a dark cave so the only
- 6:11Speaker 1: time you saw people was when the gunshot went off,
- 6:13Speaker 1: and just different styles of fighting, which I thought was
- 6:17Speaker 1: really cool.
- 6:18Speaker 2: So but did you have like a professional trainer that
- 6:20Speaker 2: taught you how to do that?
- 6:21Speaker 1: Yes?
- 6:21Speaker 2: And so how would you do it? Would you do
- 6:24Speaker 2: it with a real sword? Did you do it? Like?
- 6:25Speaker 1: Well, we had three different kinds of swords. The real
- 6:28Speaker 1: sword like weighs more than me. It was insane. I
- 6:30Speaker 1: couldn't do it with the real sword as much. But
- 6:33Speaker 1: for filming, and this is the magic of the movies.
- 6:35Speaker 1: You know, you have four different weights of it. One
- 6:38Speaker 1: is like the real sword where you need it for
- 6:40Speaker 1: like you know, where it's a close up or the
- 6:43Speaker 1: sword is really really visible. But when you're doing the
- 6:46Speaker 1: big choreography, you have like a lighter sword which is
- 6:49Speaker 1: created by the props department, and then the nothern lighter
- 6:51Speaker 1: one and when you need to flip it, it's the
- 6:53Speaker 1: lightest one. Because I was telling you almost.
- 6:56Speaker 2: All that's good, it's good to know that sucks.
- 7:00Speaker 1: Oh no, here I was trying to impress you with
- 7:03Speaker 1: my sword flipping.
- 7:04Speaker 2: It's impressive period you're talking.
- 7:06Speaker 1: About my fencing. But no, it was movie magic.
- 7:09Speaker 2: One of the things that I was thinking when I
- 7:10Speaker 2: was watching it is like, how many takes did you
- 7:12Speaker 2: have to do with this? Because that's got to be
- 7:14Speaker 2: so hard to do because you're swinging this gigantic iron
- 7:18Speaker 2: thing and clashing into other ones, and like, if you
- 7:21Speaker 2: have to do three or four takes this, your arms
- 7:22Speaker 2: are going to be toasted.
- 7:23Speaker 1: Oh we did like ten hours of it every day
- 7:26Speaker 1: for like seven days or something.
- 7:27Speaker 2: Do you have shoulder that No?
- 7:29Speaker 1: Actually I didn't, but I was jacked. My arms never
- 7:34Speaker 1: looked as good now. I mean, I have a four
- 7:36Speaker 1: year old and I lift her a lot, so my
- 7:38Speaker 1: arms are like all right. But during this movie, because
- 7:41Speaker 1: we were just like at it and we both you know,
- 7:44Speaker 1: threw ourselves at it, Carl and I, and it took.
- 7:48Speaker 1: It was a big choreography. On top of this bluff,
- 7:50Speaker 1: we shot on one hundred percent of this movie. At
- 7:52Speaker 1: least ninety percent is definitely on practical sets, real sets.
- 7:56Speaker 1: We did not want to use a lot of VFX, so,
- 7:58Speaker 1: you know, phil Ivey, our production designer. We built the ships,
- 8:02Speaker 1: we built, the house, we built really everything was a
- 8:05Speaker 1: replica of what it would have looked like in the
- 8:08Speaker 1: nineteen hundreds in the Cayman Islands. We went and saw it.
- 8:11Speaker 1: It was amazing to be able to do that with
- 8:13Speaker 1: real stuff. You know.
- 8:14Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, the whole history of piracy is so fascinating,
- 8:19Speaker 2: and one of the things that the movie is about
- 8:22Speaker 2: is this. The Karl Urban character is from. He was
- 8:26Speaker 2: one of the soldiers of the East India Trading Company.
- 8:29Speaker 2: Then I went on a deep dive on the East
- 8:30Speaker 2: India Trading Company. That is crazy when you learned the
- 8:36Speaker 2: history of that. One corporation is one of the first
- 8:40Speaker 2: publicly traded corporations that essentially was in control of India, Pakistan,
- 8:47Speaker 2: and Bangladesh went to war with China over opium and
- 8:52Speaker 2: that's how they took over Hong Kong. You're like, holy shit,
- 8:56Speaker 2: one crazy fucking corporation involved in the slave trade. The
- 9:01Speaker 2: opium just a corporation, publicly traded corporation. People could buy
- 9:05Speaker 2: stock in it, like one of the first ones. And
- 9:07Speaker 2: it just went haywire to the point where it got
- 9:09Speaker 2: so big there was a revolt and then the British
- 9:13Speaker 2: government took over it, nationalized it. But it's the whole
- 9:16Speaker 2: story is insane.
- 9:18Speaker 1: If you think about how much in their minds they
- 9:22Speaker 1: were able to achieve and how much they were able
- 9:26Speaker 1: to destroy in that duration is crazy. If you go down, history.
- 9:32Speaker 2: Changed the course of countries.
- 9:35Speaker 1: Forever, human lives forever forever, like the amount of millillaging
- 9:38Speaker 1: that happened, Yes, millions and millions of lives. And this
- 9:42Speaker 1: movie actually has a really interesting slice of what they
- 9:46Speaker 1: were capable of doing. They utilized pirates in order to
- 9:51Speaker 1: you know, take over new lands right and in their conquests,
- 9:56Speaker 1: and then when piracy was abolished, they you know, and
- 10:00Speaker 1: after them and they wanted to arrest them, and they
- 10:03Speaker 1: vilified the same people that helped them build their entire empire.
- 10:07Speaker 1: So this was really interesting because my character's story, her
- 10:11Speaker 1: parents and her family are indentured servants, which was the
- 10:15Speaker 1: truth of many many people, especially in India, where young
- 10:19Speaker 1: people were you know, told better opportunities, new lands, more money,
- 10:26Speaker 1: come with us and take them off as servants and
- 10:29Speaker 1: then drop them in different parts of the world. In
- 10:31Speaker 1: islands and the Caribbean has a huge Indian community who
- 10:36Speaker 1: history started with just being displaced from their lands and
- 10:41Speaker 1: dropped somewhere else in the world, and then having to
- 10:44Speaker 1: figure out what your future looks like. I mean, it
- 10:46Speaker 1: still happens to many many people around the world right now.
- 10:49Speaker 1: But I thought it was really interesting that my character
- 10:52Speaker 1: came from that and her entire identity was erased, taken
- 10:57Speaker 1: from her. She had no idea she was well, so
- 11:00Speaker 1: she had no idea what it meant to have that identity.
- 11:03Speaker 1: And I met so many people actually when I went
- 11:05Speaker 1: to the Caeman, who don't know anything about their family
- 11:10Speaker 1: tree beyond like five generations, or they know where their
- 11:15Speaker 1: family may have come from, from Sri Lanka or from
- 11:17Speaker 1: India or you know, any other nation, but have no
- 11:22Speaker 1: idea what like what it was, where from what village,
- 11:27Speaker 1: like what was your culture? And that ambiguity in a
- 11:33Speaker 1: history of a human being erases a part of you.
- 11:36Speaker 1: It denies you of knowing the depth of your culture
- 11:41Speaker 1: or where you come from or your roots. And I
- 11:44Speaker 1: thought that was really really interesting for my character to
- 11:47Speaker 1: play and then reclaim herself through the journey of the movie.
- 11:52Speaker 2: Well, it's a fascinating part of human history. Yeah, and
- 11:55Speaker 2: it's taken place all over the world and for a
- 11:59Speaker 2: lot of cultures, they don't have an understanding of exactly
- 12:05Speaker 2: what happened before they were colonized. Ye, Like, one of
- 12:09Speaker 2: the great examples is Mexico. I went in a long,
- 12:12Speaker 2: deep dive on Mexico recently over the last few months,
- 12:15Speaker 2: because I've had a bunch of people who are historians
- 12:19Speaker 2: who came on the podcast who were just researching these
- 12:21Speaker 2: ancient Inca and Mayan sights and talking to them about it,
- 12:24Speaker 2: and then I went into it, and it's like there
- 12:27Speaker 2: was over a hundred different languages that are just lost
- 12:30Speaker 2: forever in that whole what is now called Mexico. And
- 12:36Speaker 2: that's the reason why everybody over there speaks Spanish and
- 12:38Speaker 2: is Catholic, Like, it's not because that was their language
- 12:42Speaker 2: and that was their religion. They were all conquered absolutely,
- 12:45Speaker 2: I mean by like six hundred guys. That's what's nuts. Yeah,
- 12:50Speaker 2: six hundred guys in the fifteen hundreds came over, took over,
- 12:55Speaker 2: you know, what was the Aztec Empire with help of
- 12:58Speaker 2: the people that they were in conflict with, and changed
- 13:03Speaker 2: the course of the entire country. It's so many generations forever,
- 13:08Speaker 2: Like to this day, people in Mexico think they speak
- 13:11Speaker 2: Spanish and they have a Catholic religion. Well that's all
- 13:14Speaker 2: brought over from Spain, like the entire country. They had
- 13:18Speaker 2: wild names too, like Cacaw, thunder, sky god and all
- 13:23Speaker 2: these different like almost like Native American type names. Wow,
- 13:26Speaker 2: they looked like Native Americans. And but if you think
- 13:28Speaker 2: about it, doesn't that make sense?
- 13:30Speaker 1: That makes so much sense. They probably like shared land
- 13:33Speaker 1: and crops.
- 13:34Speaker 2: And like, well there was no region, no borders, no
- 13:38Speaker 2: back then. I mean, what were countries in the fifteen
- 13:41Speaker 2: hundreds in North America? Like what was what? We don't
- 13:44Speaker 2: even know, like what was North America?
- 13:46Speaker 1: I mean I think about how young America is technically
- 13:49Speaker 1: super young, like how many years three hundred years, four hundred.
- 13:52Speaker 2: Yeah, less less than three hundred years.
- 13:55Speaker 1: Yeah, And like you were talking about history in India,
- 13:59Speaker 1: she has been invaded over thousands and thousands and thousands
- 14:04Speaker 1: of years, only invaded. We've never invaded anybody else She's
- 14:09Speaker 1: not at the time, and it was like just came right, yeah,
- 14:13Speaker 1: the Portuguese, the British, the Moguls, like from back in
- 14:17Speaker 1: time and the history of India. I mean, I'm not
- 14:20Speaker 1: a historian and I don't claim to be but I
- 14:22Speaker 1: find it really fascinating. I love culture and especially the
- 14:25Speaker 1: culture of India. Like you will see, my grandmother was
- 14:28Speaker 1: Catholic because she comes she was raised in a part
- 14:32Speaker 1: of India which was colonized and a lot of people
- 14:35Speaker 1: with Kerala, a lot of people were converted into Catholicism,
- 14:39Speaker 1: and she grew up Catholic, and you know, she followed
- 14:43Speaker 1: it for a very long time in her life. India
- 14:45Speaker 1: is like hyper diverse because of how many people have
- 14:51Speaker 1: kind of made it her roots. So when you go
- 14:54Speaker 1: to India, the amount of diversity you will see, the
- 14:58Speaker 1: kind of the range of people that you will meat
- 15:00Speaker 1: is impossible to fathom, like an Indian face does not
- 15:04Speaker 1: look like a particular person, or the amount of cultures,
- 15:08Speaker 1: the languages we have written and spoken languages which are
- 15:11Speaker 1: almost like twenty something or in their thirties, absolutely different alphabet,
- 15:17Speaker 1: absolutely different sound. I can't if I go to another state,
- 15:20Speaker 1: I won't be able to understand what people are saying. Wow,
- 15:23Speaker 1: it's amazing.
- 15:25Speaker 2: Wow, how many different languages are spoken there.
- 15:28Speaker 1: About twenty eight to thirty. But there are dialects in
- 15:31Speaker 1: their hundreds. Oh wow, don't even get into the dialects.
- 15:35Speaker 1: I just speak English and HINDI understand a little bit
- 15:38Speaker 1: of Punjabi and Marati. But it's really amazing.
- 15:43Speaker 2: Now, but have you ever been, by the way, No,
- 15:45Speaker 2: I haven't.
- 15:46Speaker 1: Oh Jo, you have to. You would really like you're
- 15:48Speaker 1: the kind of guy who likes a deep dive, Yeah,
- 15:51Speaker 1: you would really lose yourself. I think, Well, I more
- 15:53Speaker 1: amazing just.
- 15:55Speaker 2: To see it for many things, but just to see
- 15:58Speaker 2: that one immense temple that was carved entirely out of stone.
- 16:02Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it's one of the great mysteries of archaeology.
- 16:05Speaker 1: But there are quite a few if you go especially
- 16:08Speaker 1: south south of India and the caves. If you go
- 16:10Speaker 1: inside the Anderman of Nicobar, like the caves, you'll see
- 16:15Speaker 1: from thousands and tens and thousands of years ago illustrations
- 16:20Speaker 1: that you're like, how did this happen? How could this
- 16:24Speaker 1: temple have been chiseled? Or how could you know these
- 16:27Speaker 1: stones have been moved at that time? Right, It's just
- 16:31Speaker 1: it makes you. It made me very very curious about
- 16:33Speaker 1: like what kind of tools did we have back then?
- 16:36Speaker 2: Well, there's a lot of holes in human history, yeah,
- 16:39Speaker 2: for sure. No. Graham Hancock has a great quote. He
- 16:41Speaker 2: says that we are a species with amnesia, and I
- 16:45Speaker 2: think that's accurate. And I think when you find some
- 16:48Speaker 2: of the great archaeological wonders where people just have decided, oh,
- 16:54Speaker 2: they built it this way and then just let it go,
- 16:56Speaker 2: and then other people start looking at it and go,
- 16:58Speaker 2: wait a minute, how how did they do this? Like
- 17:01Speaker 2: when did they do this? Like what's the historical record
- 17:04Speaker 2: of this? Because this is kind of nuts. It seems
- 17:07Speaker 2: to indicate like a very advanced, sophisticated society.
- 17:10Speaker 1: Yeah, very advanced civilization. Like one of the oldest civilizations
- 17:14Speaker 1: in the world, along with the Mayans, is the Indus
- 17:19Speaker 1: Valley civilization, which is the north of India.
- 17:22Speaker 2: Yeah, and I just.
- 17:24Speaker 1: Remember studying about in school and that's my maximum understanding
- 17:30Speaker 1: of that civilization. But also like having visited the Indus River,
- 17:33Speaker 1: I guess, but I remember like the artifacts that were found,
- 17:39Speaker 1: and like if you do a deep dive into how
- 17:44Speaker 1: that civilization existed and then how it was erased, and
- 17:48Speaker 1: you know, it makes you question, like it's there had
- 17:51Speaker 1: to be some seriously advanced, like scientific understanding that was
- 17:57Speaker 1: eventually lost, as you know, a human evolution happened where
- 18:01Speaker 1: we lose a civilization and then comes back again, but
- 18:05Speaker 1: it just makes you wonder about early humans and how
- 18:09Speaker 1: fascinatingly advanced we would have had to be to do
- 18:12Speaker 1: all of that. Yeah, without the technology and stuff that
- 18:16Speaker 1: we have. I mean, I think.
- 18:17Speaker 2: They had technology.
- 18:20Speaker 1: I think so too.
- 18:20Speaker 2: I think they had to. It's almost time for spring break,
- 18:23Speaker 2: so maybe you're headed to the beach, or maybe you're
- 18:25Speaker 2: taking the kids on a road trip, or maybe you're
- 18:28Speaker 2: just taking some extra time for yourself. No matter what,

- 19:30Speaker 2: temple that I'm talking about, Jamie pull Do you know
- 19:32Speaker 2: the temple I'm talking about, the one insanely massive one
- 19:35Speaker 2: that's built into the side of a mountain. This is it.
- 19:39Speaker 2: This is crazy.
- 19:41Speaker 1: This is what I meant then, because the precision.
- 19:44Speaker 2: First of all, there's no like understanding of where the
- 19:48Speaker 2: stone went, like they moved.
- 19:50Speaker 1: Who knows how did you take out all of those
- 19:53Speaker 1: tons of rocks?
- 19:54Speaker 2: Yes, it's so insane. The precision is spec tacular. It's
- 20:01Speaker 2: so nuts. When you see like videos of people going
- 20:05Speaker 2: through immense absolutely immense and incredibly precise and and just
- 20:12Speaker 2: carved out of a solid piece of stone. The whole
- 20:16Speaker 2: thing is carved out of the mountain.
- 20:18Speaker 1: Think about how old that is, Like this is all
- 20:22Speaker 1: BC before Christ like thousands and thousands of years yeah, BC.
- 20:28Speaker 1: And the history of India like hence the diversity you
- 20:31Speaker 1: see it's it's one of the oldest civilizations in the world.
- 20:34Speaker 1: And then like, how do you explain that? Look at
- 20:36Speaker 1: that image, so.
- 20:37Speaker 2: It says it's twelve what does it say? How old
- 20:39Speaker 2: did it say it was? Well, how do they know
- 20:42Speaker 2: that twelve hundred years old? See, there's a lot of
- 20:47Speaker 2: just estimates based on what was the civilization at the time. Yeah,
- 20:51Speaker 2: and there's no like this is the thing with Peru
- 20:54Speaker 2: like soaks se Juaman and a lot of these places
- 20:56Speaker 2: be attributed to the Incas. But you see like traditional
- 20:59Speaker 2: inc structures on top of these immense stones that are
- 21:04Speaker 2: one hundred tons, they're carved and these weird jigsaw patterns
- 21:08Speaker 2: is to absorb the energy if there's an earthquake, Like
- 21:11Speaker 2: it's weird shit, And it's like, okay, well who did that?
- 21:14Speaker 2: So like, oh, the Incas did it? Like how how'd
- 21:17Speaker 2: they do that? Because all their other structures are smaller
- 21:19Speaker 2: stones stacked on top of each other in a way
- 21:22Speaker 2: like you could see a person carrying them and cutting them.
- 21:24Speaker 2: Makes sense, But there's a lot of stuff like that temple,
- 21:27Speaker 2: Like explain to me what you used.
- 21:31Speaker 1: There's no explanation, like how like.
- 21:33Speaker 2: Metal do you just use metal?
- 21:35Speaker 1: And carve that out like that and like just a
- 21:37Speaker 1: chisel and human and.
- 21:38Speaker 2: If you fuck up once, it's over because you're not
- 21:41Speaker 2: putting things on top of things like oh this block sucks,
- 21:44Speaker 2: let's get a new block.
- 21:45Speaker 1: Now your car, you've changed the design. If does a
- 21:47Speaker 1: fuck up, like you know what I mean, if you're
- 21:49Speaker 1: trying to build like a human form and you chisel
- 21:54Speaker 1: off the nose, do turn it into something else? I
- 21:57Speaker 1: don't know, Probably otherwise because it's just one piece and
- 22:00Speaker 1: you're right, you're not adding yeah, anything to it.
- 22:03Speaker 2: Well, in Egypt, there's indications that they abandoned certain pieces
- 22:06Speaker 2: because they cracked. Because when you're dealing with you know, granted,
- 22:11Speaker 2: and there's certain specifically there's a gigantic obelisk that they
- 22:17Speaker 2: were carving out that I mean, I think it was
- 22:18Speaker 2: like thirteen hundred tons like something bananas like, okay, how
- 22:22Speaker 2: are you gonna move this fucking thing? But they got
- 22:25Speaker 2: to a certain point where there's a crack in it,
- 22:26Speaker 2: and so they had to abandon it. And so it's
- 22:28Speaker 2: still yeah, still I think that's an It might be
- 22:31Speaker 2: an oswan. I'm not sure where it is, but you know.
- 22:33Speaker 1: Like you know, the theories around the Egyptian Pyramids. Obviously,
- 22:39Speaker 1: like how were those blocks carried up?
- 22:43Speaker 2: There's no valid theory.
- 22:45Speaker 1: How zero was it that shape and so precisely geometrically.
- 22:50Speaker 1: You know.
- 22:51Speaker 2: Well, it's even more complicated now because there's an Italian
- 22:54Speaker 2: scientist that we had on recently called Felipo Boondi am
- 22:58Speaker 2: I saying it right BEYONDI. He's amazing accent. This guy
- 23:01Speaker 2: is fucking incredible. But he's using what is it, radio
- 23:06Speaker 2: Doppler tomography, So it's it's a type of satellite imagery
- 23:12Speaker 2: that uses some technology to get a vision of what's
- 23:17Speaker 2: under the ground. And they've used this successfully to show
- 23:23Speaker 2: known caverns in the ground and known pyramids, and they
- 23:28Speaker 2: even used it in Italy to show that they can
- 23:31Speaker 2: look through a one point two kilometer mountain and see
- 23:34Speaker 2: underneath it this particle collider and have an exact dimension
- 23:38Speaker 2: of the particle collider and see what the outlet. So
- 23:41Speaker 2: they use this on the pyramids and they found these
- 23:44Speaker 2: immense structures under the pyramids that go over a kilometer
- 23:49Speaker 2: into the ground with massive these these huge twenty twenty
- 23:56Speaker 2: meter diameter columns that have these huge circular coils wrapped
- 24:02Speaker 2: around them. No one knows what the hell they're looking at,
- 24:05Speaker 2: but they're in very precise positions. They've done over two
- 24:08Speaker 2: hundred scans of these things. They don't know what they are,
- 24:11Speaker 2: they don't know what's the purpose of all this, who
- 24:14Speaker 2: made this? So if this turns out to be accurate,
- 24:17Speaker 2: and they're very confident that it's accurate, and they're starting
- 24:20Speaker 2: to look into it deeper and they're trying to figure
- 24:22Speaker 2: out how to get down in there and explore with
- 24:26Speaker 2: drones or something, then the whole thing gets thrown into
- 24:31Speaker 2: question because it's preposterous enough that you have someone who's
- 24:35Speaker 2: able to cut in place two million, three hundred thousand
- 24:40Speaker 2: stones that's perfectly aligned to true north, south, east, and west.
- 24:44Speaker 2: Some of them weigh as much as eighty tons tons.
- 24:47Speaker 2: They come from five hundred miles away through the mountains,
- 24:50Speaker 2: no roads, Like, how'd you do it? That's crazy?
- 24:52Speaker 1: That's crazy.
- 24:53Speaker 2: If there's structures underneath that that go a kilometer into
- 24:58Speaker 2: the ground, and like there's a giant, like huge square
- 25:04Speaker 2: at the bottom, they don't know what it is, but
- 25:05Speaker 2: these are structures therese are, not like something that is
- 25:08Speaker 2: just a naturally occurring stone.
- 25:10Speaker 1: Yeah, it was man made and show her an image
- 25:12Speaker 1: of it.
- 25:12Speaker 2: It's fucking cool. So these are these columns. This is
- 25:17Speaker 2: like what the images are shown in and the three
- 25:19Speaker 2: dimensional replication of what they think is. That's what they
- 25:23Speaker 2: think it looks like underneath there. They have no idea
- 25:27Speaker 2: what these things are. What there's also is that Hawara
- 25:33Speaker 2: that has that underground labyrinth. They've they've also found this.
- 25:39Speaker 2: Herodotus wrote about these labyrinths. There's a great channel on
- 25:42Speaker 2: YouTube called Uncharted X by this guy Ben van Kirkwick
- 25:45Speaker 2: who's been on the podcast before. He's great, and they've
- 25:49Speaker 2: used radio well, they used ground penetrating radar in that location.
- 25:55Speaker 2: They found that these immense labyrinths are real. They're they're
- 25:58Speaker 2: they're huge. Herodotus said, it's greater than Giza, and it's underground.
- 26:04Speaker 2: And in the center of one of these atriums there
- 26:07Speaker 2: is a forty meter metallic object that shaped like a
- 26:12Speaker 2: tic tac. It's in the center of this. Yes, so
- 26:17Speaker 2: there's a bunch of shit that they don't they can't
- 26:19Speaker 2: explain down there where you're like, okay, what is this.
- 26:23Speaker 2: They also know that a lot of these civilizations, like
- 26:26Speaker 2: later versions of it, took from some of the older
- 26:29Speaker 2: sites and started building new things or built on top
- 26:32Speaker 2: of them, like very disrespectfully. But nobody had an idea
- 26:35Speaker 2: of like the importance of history back then. You're just
- 26:37Speaker 2: trying to stay alive. And so they found all these stones. They'll,
- 26:40Speaker 2: let's use these stones.
- 26:41Speaker 1: And so it's totally in India, like when we were colonized.
- 26:44Speaker 1: You hear stories of you know, the British officers telling
- 26:50Speaker 1: like little kids that hey, I'll give you two pounds,
- 26:53Speaker 1: go and get the gold statue from this temple or whatever,
- 26:56Speaker 1: and you don't have comprehension of what the value of
- 27:00Speaker 1: historical things were. That there was so much that was
- 27:03Speaker 1: taken from India in terms of wealth and history and
- 27:08Speaker 1: historical artifacts. And the Coh diamond which is still on
- 27:12Speaker 1: the Queen's crown, which came from India, and like so
- 27:16Speaker 1: many things.
- 27:17Speaker 2: Which England, she has a diamond on her crown.
- 27:20Speaker 1: That diamond, h I and give it back.
- 27:27Speaker 2: You.
- 27:28Speaker 1: We've been asking for it for a minute.
- 27:31Speaker 2: We have all the whole history of England and India's
- 27:34Speaker 2: nuts too. That's the diamond. WHOA how big is that
- 27:37Speaker 2: the queen? How big is that thing?
- 27:41Speaker 1: How big would that be?
- 27:47Speaker 2: WHOA what's that worth? What's a hundred Well, besides the
- 27:51Speaker 2: historical value of it, which is probably priceless, what is
- 27:55Speaker 2: one hundred and five carrots worth? That's nuts?
- 28:03Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that's what I'm saying. That royalty in
- 28:05Speaker 1: India had so much jewelry and wealth and stuff that
- 28:10Speaker 1: was pillaged and just taken.
- 28:12Speaker 2: Well, the history of India is fascinating. Like in the
- 28:16Speaker 2: Vedic texts and the descriptions of vimanas. Have you ever
- 28:22Speaker 2: read any of that stuff?
- 28:23Speaker 1: Yea, is not extensively, but clearly you have the Vimanas.
- 28:27Speaker 2: It's like, what are you talking about? You're talking about
- 28:29Speaker 2: flying crafts?
- 28:30Speaker 1: Yeah, Like what do you That's the thing you go
- 28:33Speaker 1: if you do a deep dive into the mythology of
- 28:35Speaker 1: India and the stories that come from there. The kind
- 28:38Speaker 1: of technology that has been mentioned in these ancient texts
- 28:43Speaker 1: like the Vimanas. You're saying you have flying objects, you
- 28:47Speaker 1: have spears with some sort of energy, you have bows
- 28:52Speaker 1: and arrows with some sort of energy that travels beyond
- 28:55Speaker 1: time and light. And there's so much of all of
- 28:58Speaker 1: this stuff reference back then which maybe humans thought was magic,
- 29:03Speaker 1: but was some form of ancient technology. Like who's to say,
- 29:07Speaker 1: but We do definitely believe in Indian mythology. If you
- 29:12Speaker 1: go back into Hinduism and the incredible stories that exist,
- 29:17Speaker 1: Like I love to think about where the origin, like
- 29:20Speaker 1: where it must have come from, but there's so many fascinating,
- 29:26Speaker 1: fascinating stories from then.
- 29:27Speaker 2: Yeah. I have an opinion that most people that were
- 29:31Speaker 2: writing things down back then were trying to document a truth.
- 29:35Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure.
- 29:36Speaker 2: I don't think they were trying to make.
- 29:37Speaker 1: Up to No. I think it was definitely their truth.
- 29:39Speaker 1: From our perspective, now we have to be like, how
- 29:42Speaker 1: do you break down the truth of you know that
- 29:46Speaker 1: there was this light that arrived from miles and miles
- 29:50Speaker 1: away and it felt like I don't know, was it
- 29:52Speaker 1: a bomb? Like what was it? What was it of
- 29:55Speaker 1: that time? So it's cool to kind of try and
- 29:57Speaker 1: interpret that. I mean, I believe the mysticism and the
- 30:02Speaker 1: magic of ancient humans and you know, the beginning of time.
- 30:05Speaker 1: There's no way to explain what and how that was.
- 30:10Speaker 1: You know, we have the information we do from religious
- 30:13Speaker 1: texts and historians of the past, but it's just really
- 30:18Speaker 1: fascinating to think about how resilient and human beings have
- 30:22Speaker 1: been and how evolutions have had the same problems over time,
- 30:27Speaker 1: but we kind of just navigated through different worlds, you know.
- 30:32Speaker 2: I think, yeah, I think it's hard for us to
- 30:34Speaker 2: grasp timelines and then.
- 30:38Speaker 1: When possible, think about like how short a human lifespan
- 30:41Speaker 1: used to be to where it is now. How the
- 30:45Speaker 1: base our stories have to come from, like people telling
- 30:48Speaker 1: people stories or documenting them right.
- 30:51Speaker 2: Right, and those stories, like when you're talking about certain
- 30:57Speaker 2: passages in the Bible or certain passages in any religious text,
- 31:01Speaker 2: a lot of those were stories that were just handed
- 31:03Speaker 2: down for generations and generations before anybody wrote anything. Yeah,
- 31:08Speaker 2: so it's like what were they trying to remember, Like
- 31:11Speaker 2: when they're talking about flying vimanas, like what were they
- 31:14Speaker 2: talking about? Like what did they experience? And how long
- 31:19Speaker 2: ago was it? Because I don't think we have a
- 31:21Speaker 2: real understanding of how long ago it is.
- 31:24Speaker 1: I mean, seventeen thousand BC is where or around that
- 31:29Speaker 1: time that many years ago is what they say.
- 31:33Speaker 2: But again that makes sense, well, that makes sense if
- 31:35Speaker 2: you take into account.
- 31:37Speaker 1: The twenty thousand BC.
- 31:38Speaker 2: There's a guy named Randall Carlson who's been in my
- 31:40Speaker 2: podcast a few times, and he's a really fascinating guy,
- 31:43Speaker 2: and he's an expert in asteroid collisions with Earth. Wow,
- 31:47Speaker 2: he's an expert in all the different times that Earth
- 31:51Speaker 2: has been slammed by comets and meteors.
- 31:53Speaker 1: And is that how the dinosaurs?
- 31:56Speaker 2: Yes?
- 31:56Speaker 1: Were so it did? It was an asteroid?
- 31:58Speaker 2: Yeah, they believe so it was in Yukaton. That one,
- 32:01Speaker 2: that's the sixty five billion years ago one, but there's
- 32:03Speaker 2: other ones that are before that, before that, yeah, and
- 32:07Speaker 2: then there's other ones that are after that. One of
- 32:08Speaker 2: the more interesting ones, it's called the younger Driest impact theory,
- 32:12Speaker 2: and that one's from about eleven eight hundred years ago.
- 32:15Speaker 2: And then again they think somewhere in the ten thousand
- 32:18Speaker 2: years that happened. So there's a comet storm that we
- 32:20Speaker 2: pass by. I think it's every June in November, forget
- 32:24Speaker 2: what those the time is, but this is like also
- 32:27Speaker 2: aligns with do you know about the Tunguska event? Have
- 32:30Speaker 2: you ever heard of that? In the early nineteen hundreds,
- 32:34Speaker 2: a meteor exploded in the sky above Russia and devastated
- 32:40Speaker 2: like a million acres of land. And it was during
- 32:43Speaker 2: the same time period, and they realized, like, there's this
- 32:45Speaker 2: comet storm that we passed through. Like when you see
- 32:48Speaker 2: meteor showers during the sky. It's because we're passing through
- 32:51Speaker 2: these areas of our solar system that have these comets.
- 32:55Speaker 2: This is the Tunguska event. So it just and to
- 32:58Speaker 2: this day that area has trees on it.
- 33:01Speaker 1: Whoa.
- 33:01Speaker 2: Yeah, so it just flattened everything and it didn't even
- 33:06Speaker 2: impact the ground. It blew up in the sky above it.
- 33:11Speaker 2: And this was not even a big one.
- 33:13Speaker 1: So how does like nothing grow again? Like what It's
- 33:16Speaker 1: a good question. What is that asteroid made of that
- 33:19Speaker 1: you can like Earth has been able to come back
- 33:22Speaker 1: from so much.
- 33:23Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a good questions. Maybe it's just not enough time.
- 33:26Speaker 2: I don't know, I mean one hundred and seventeen years maybe.
- 33:28Speaker 1: Some maybe eventually means like millennia.
- 33:31Speaker 2: But it probably just blew the roots off of everything.
- 33:33Speaker 2: It blew everything into smithereens. And it probably had some
- 33:37Speaker 2: kind of chemical effect too, because it's a physical object.
- 33:41Speaker 2: I don't know what it was made out of, but
- 33:44Speaker 2: you know, some of them are made out of iron,
- 33:45Speaker 2: some of them are made out of nickel, like that
- 33:48Speaker 2: big one that they saw three I atlas that passed through. Yeah,
- 33:51Speaker 2: that was a weird one because they're like, this is
- 33:53Speaker 2: a nickel alloy that is as big as the size
- 33:56Speaker 2: of Manhattan. The only way we have it on Earth
- 33:59Speaker 2: is in gustrial manufacturing of an alloy. But this thing
- 34:03Speaker 2: in another planet, somewhere else, millions and millions and millions
- 34:07Speaker 2: of years ago, was formed under whatever weird circumstances and
- 34:11Speaker 2: conditions their planet has.
- 34:12Speaker 1: But you, I mean, I want to know your thoughts
- 34:15Speaker 1: on this, But you definitely don't think we're like the
- 34:19Speaker 1: only species existing in the universe.
- 34:21Speaker 2: Right, I don't think that's possible.
- 34:23Speaker 1: It's human arrogance if we think we do.
- 34:25Speaker 2: Yeah, that seems silly. Yeah, it doesn't make sense. There's
- 34:28Speaker 2: just too many planets. It's a silly thing to think.
- 34:31Speaker 2: And they've found evidence of life on Mars. So they've
- 34:34Speaker 2: found evidence of some sort of bacterial life on Mars,
- 34:37Speaker 2: like the traces of bacterial life. And that's you know right.
- 34:41Speaker 1: There, That's what I'm saying. Maybe it's just within our
- 34:44Speaker 1: Milky Way that we I mean, we haven't even been
- 34:47Speaker 1: able to travel outside of that yet, you know, to
- 34:50Speaker 1: get information, but it has there has to be other
- 34:53Speaker 1: species that exist, and other like intelligence and technology.
- 34:59Speaker 2: Do you know the actor Terrence Howard, I mean, no,
- 35:01Speaker 2: of him. Fascinating guy, like a little kookie, but super smart,
- 35:05Speaker 2: like super smart. He's got some wild ideas. One of
- 35:09Speaker 2: his ideas I was like, wait, what he thinks that
- 35:13Speaker 2: life occurs when planets get a certain distance from their sun,
- 35:19Speaker 2: and then over time they get too far out and
- 35:23Speaker 2: then life doesn't exist in those planets anymore. But when
- 35:27Speaker 2: they're in this goldilog zone like Earth is for a
- 35:30Speaker 2: long period of time and relative to our life, life exists,
- 35:35Speaker 2: and then intelligent life emerges and figures out, hey, we
- 35:40Speaker 2: got to get out of here eventually because this is
- 35:43Speaker 2: not going to sustain us, and then it propagates the world,
- 35:46Speaker 2: or the universe rather. And he thinks that there's a
- 35:49Speaker 2: thing that happens, and he calls it peopling. He thinks
- 35:53Speaker 2: that when a planet gets far further enough from the
- 35:58Speaker 2: Sun that it eventually people's because it eventually reaches the
- 36:02Speaker 2: right conditions where life emerges and evolution takes place, and
- 36:07Speaker 2: natural selection and random mutation, all these things converge and
- 36:12Speaker 2: eventually you get an intelligent creature that knows how to
- 36:14Speaker 2: manipulate its environment.
- 36:15Speaker 1: Is there an a proof of planets like moving away
- 36:21Speaker 1: from their sun?
- 36:23Speaker 2: Well, they all do slowly, very slowly.
- 36:26Speaker 1: So even our solar system, we're all like slowly.
- 36:29Speaker 2: Yeah, and that also the sun is eventually going to
- 36:33Speaker 2: burn out and explode and then we're fucked. But that's
- 36:36Speaker 2: a long time from now, but eventually.
- 36:38Speaker 1: Enough shit, yeah to be worried.
- 36:40Speaker 2: Nothing's permanent, like suns are not. And we we're lucky
- 36:43Speaker 2: we have a slow burned son, So we have a
- 36:46Speaker 2: relatively small son. And it's uh, there's a lot of
- 36:50Speaker 2: weird speculation that it's part of a binary solar system too,
- 36:54Speaker 2: that there might have been another version of our son
- 36:56Speaker 2: that burned out that's like way out there, way out
- 37:00Speaker 2: in space, like way past Pluto, way out there. It's possible.
- 37:05Speaker 2: I mean, there's there's a lot of wacky theories as
- 37:07Speaker 2: to why there seems to be some large object that's
- 37:11Speaker 2: outside of our vision that's way way past Pluto. So
- 37:15Speaker 2: there's a thing called the Kuiper Belt that soundside of Pluto,
- 37:17Speaker 2: and that's part of what Pluto is, which is why
- 37:19Speaker 2: they decided plane anymore. But they think there's something else
- 37:22Speaker 2: out there that's a large they call it Planet X.
- 37:25Speaker 2: They think there's it's a lot of like weird speculation
- 37:28Speaker 2: whether or not it's real. But they think there might
- 37:30Speaker 2: be a large body larger than Earth, large like Jupiter
- 37:33Speaker 2: size or something like way out there, and it might
- 37:35Speaker 2: be a sun. It might be a.
- 37:36Speaker 1: Burnt out like a burnt out Sun that was crazy insane.
- 37:41Speaker 2: Well Earth alone, like Earth, the reason why we have
- 37:43Speaker 2: the moon supposedly is because Earth was hit by another planet.
- 37:46Speaker 1: There's Earth, so was the moon part of the Earth.
- 37:48Speaker 2: The Moon was like a big chunk of that collision
- 37:53Speaker 2: that burst off and then became the moon. So there's Earth.
- 37:57Speaker 1: One. Does that happen with all the planets, like, because
- 38:00Speaker 1: all the planets that have their own moons are explosions.
- 38:03Speaker 2: Maybe this is a question, good question. I mean, maybe
- 38:06Speaker 2: some of them enormous asteroids that got caught in the gravity.
- 38:10Speaker 2: And yeah, maybe maybe it's volcanic activity. I don't know.
- 38:14Speaker 2: I think a lot of it's asteroid impacts too. They
- 38:16Speaker 2: knock off giant chunks and those chunks start orbiting that planet.
- 38:20Speaker 1: So does that mean that all of those planets do
- 38:22Speaker 1: have like a gravitational poll as well?
- 38:25Speaker 2: Oh? Yeah there are Yeah, how strong.
- 38:28Speaker 1: Would that gravitational poll be?
- 38:30Speaker 2: It depends on the mass of the planet.
- 38:32Speaker 1: Like Jupiter, for example, Jupiter is.
- 38:33Speaker 2: What protects us. The reason why we don't get hit
- 38:36Speaker 2: and a lot is because Jupiter is so big. So
- 38:39Speaker 2: Jupiter has so much mass and so much gravity that
- 38:43Speaker 2: it's like our big brother that like protects us.
- 38:46Speaker 1: Thanks Jupiter for real.
- 38:49Speaker 2: That's great. And they they actually observed an impact on Jupiter.
- 38:53Speaker 2: I want to say it was in the nineteen eighties
- 38:55Speaker 2: where an enormous asteroid slammed into Jupiter and created a
- 39:00Speaker 2: Earth sized explosion and explosions separated. No, it just got
- 39:05Speaker 2: absorbed it. Jupiter just absorbed it. But they watched it
- 39:08Speaker 2: in real time and it was a way bigger explosion
- 39:11Speaker 2: than they thought it was going to be. Like, oh,
- 39:14Speaker 2: so then they have to like recalculate, like, oh, how
- 39:16Speaker 2: big was that thing? And it made a literal impact
- 39:20Speaker 2: as large as the Earth. Oh my god. Yeah, Well
- 39:24Speaker 2: that's the Solar system is just a fucking shooting gallery.
- 39:28Speaker 2: Which brings us back, Which brings us back to this
- 39:31Speaker 2: younger drives impact theory, which is one of the predominant
- 39:34Speaker 2: theories as to why ancient super advanced civilizations completely disappeared.
- 39:39Speaker 2: There's no evidence of them, and there's a lot of
- 39:42Speaker 2: physical evidence when they do core samples of the Earth.
- 39:45Speaker 2: They find there's a lot of iridium, which is very
- 39:48Speaker 2: common in space but very rare on Earth, which indicates
- 39:50Speaker 2: some sort of an impact. And then they also find
- 39:53Speaker 2: micro diamonds, these nuclear diamonds. I think they call it trinotite.
- 39:58Speaker 2: And they first deserved this when they did the trinity explosion.
- 40:03Speaker 2: So the nuclear explosion created these micro diamonds on the ground,
- 40:06Speaker 2: just some massive impact and explosion heat and energy. Well,
- 40:10Speaker 2: they find those littered all throughout the world in this
- 40:13Speaker 2: same core sample timeline of like eleven hundred years, so
- 40:18Speaker 2: they think we were just bombarded. So a lot of
- 40:21Speaker 2: these things, like these temples in India, perhaps the pyramids,
- 40:24Speaker 2: some structures that were stone probably just survived.
- 40:28Speaker 1: No, for sure, there's so much that has survived. I
- 40:31Speaker 1: think from like a timeline we can't even explain. I mean,
- 40:36Speaker 1: in India we see so much of it. So many
- 40:38Speaker 1: of our texts, the Vedas are you know, the oldest
- 40:41Speaker 1: texts in the world. And to be able to like
- 40:45Speaker 1: read stories which now maybe we imagine our stories, but
- 40:50Speaker 1: are probably reality of a civilization gone by. Yes, is
- 40:54Speaker 1: just crazy to think about.
- 40:55Speaker 2: I think more likely than not. Yeah, And I think
- 40:59Speaker 2: more and more more over time, people are opening up
- 41:02Speaker 2: to this possibility, Like they recently just found written language
- 41:06Speaker 2: that is twenty eight thousand years old, and that they
- 41:12Speaker 2: thought that written human written language was created about six
- 41:14Speaker 2: thousand years ago, and they found evidently about this, So
- 41:18Speaker 2: they're like, Okay, that's a giant difference.
- 41:21Speaker 1: But how can we also know what happened in so
- 41:24Speaker 1: many parts of the Earth when anyway, the Earth was
- 41:27Speaker 1: moving right, like the continents, what it looks like right
- 41:29Speaker 1: now is not what it probably looked like twenty thousand
- 41:33Speaker 1: years ago, Like it's been slowly moving. I feel like,
- 41:38Speaker 1: how are we supposed to know, like someone who writes
- 41:41Speaker 1: a book, say in Mexico, like what happened then in Australia,
- 41:46Speaker 1: or what happened what was the history in like India?
- 41:48Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
- 41:49Speaker 2: Right, especially fifteen You know that.
- 41:52Speaker 1: Many hundreds sixteen years ago when.
- 41:54Speaker 2: They were writing about stuff back then, they were just
- 41:55Speaker 2: making sit up.
- 41:56Speaker 1: So the shit that we read.
- 41:58Speaker 2: Human may have used these mysterious symbols to code information
- 42:00Speaker 2: tens of thousands of years before the first writing systems
- 42:03Speaker 2: forty thousand year old artifacts. Yeah, so it's some kind
- 42:11Speaker 2: of way of documenting things, communicating. You know, if these
- 42:17Speaker 2: people like Graham Hancock and Randall Carlson are correct, there
- 42:21Speaker 2: was some sort of a very very advanced civilization pre
- 42:24Speaker 2: eight hundred years ago. And this also coincides with the
- 42:28Speaker 2: end of the ice Age. It coincides with all of
- 42:31Speaker 2: the ice caps over North America disappearing, like North America
- 42:34Speaker 2: was covered, like three quarters of North America was covered
- 42:36Speaker 2: with a mile high sheet of ice went away like that.
- 42:39Speaker 2: That's why the Great Lakes exist. The Great Lakes are
- 42:42Speaker 2: just that ice melting mounted and then whatever was left
- 42:45Speaker 2: just ran through the country. And you can see the
- 42:48Speaker 2: physical evidence of it when they show satellite images. It
- 42:50Speaker 2: looks like enormous amounts of water just destroyed the landscape
- 42:54Speaker 2: and completely carved it and changed it.
- 42:56Speaker 1: What do you think happened with and I wonder if
- 42:59Speaker 1: you have you have so much extensive knowledge, with the
- 43:01Speaker 1: amazing guests that you have on the show, how did
- 43:04Speaker 1: we go from Neanderthal or early Man to this technology
- 43:12Speaker 1: driven like really smart, intelligent, like what happened in history
- 43:18Speaker 1: and the evolution of human beings that we were able
- 43:21Speaker 1: to make that switch so quick.
- 43:23Speaker 2: It's a real good question.
- 43:24Speaker 1: There's a lot of you know, I mean, I've heard theories,
- 43:28Speaker 1: but I want to know yours.
- 43:31Speaker 2: If I didn't worry at all about being ridiculous, and
- 43:34Speaker 2: I don't, I would you.
- 43:36Speaker 1: Don't there was no need for that precursor.
- 43:40Speaker 2: But if I didn't worry about it, I would say
- 43:43Speaker 2: something helped us.
- 43:45Speaker 1: That's what I think.
- 43:46Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think. I don't think it makes sense
- 43:48Speaker 2: that that didn't take place.
- 43:51Speaker 1: Yeah, it's crazy to think about how that happened and
- 43:53Speaker 1: how quickly it happened.
- 43:55Speaker 2: Well, yeah, there's a lot of like weird stuff with us. Also,
- 43:59Speaker 2: all those other primes are still around, except the early
- 44:01Speaker 2: man ones. You know, That's what's weird. It's like, why
- 44:06Speaker 2: aren't you know? How come chimpanzees are kind of the same?
- 44:09Speaker 2: How come all these other primates are kind of the same,
- 44:12Speaker 2: and yet we need clothes to.
- 44:15Speaker 1: St a mammoth to an elephant? You know what I mean?
- 44:18Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 44:19Speaker 1: Still similar?
- 44:20Speaker 2: Yeah, it makes sense.
- 44:21Speaker 1: How do we have like planes? And why do we
- 44:24Speaker 1: like things? And how could we make cups?
- 44:27Speaker 2: And yeah, why do we change our environment that way?
- 44:30Speaker 2: Why do we have this insatiable desire to innovate? Insatiable?
- 44:34Speaker 2: Like we that's the number one thing that would be changing,
- 44:37Speaker 2: constantly making new and better things, never satisfied with anything new.
- 44:41Speaker 2: Everything has to be better. No matter how good your
- 44:43Speaker 2: car is, what's the next year's model going to? Yeah,
- 44:46Speaker 2: no matter what your phone does, I want better pictures, bitch, Like,
- 44:49Speaker 2: no matter what this is, always like we want something
- 44:52Speaker 2: to be better all the time, and it's what we had.
- 44:54Speaker 2: But that I think it's built into us, and I
- 44:57Speaker 2: think that is a part of this process of becoming
- 45:02Speaker 2: a human being, and I think it's leading us to
- 45:05Speaker 2: develop AI. That's what I really think. But I think
- 45:08Speaker 2: we most likely something intervened. Now, there's a lot of
- 45:13Speaker 2: people that think the rational people think that it was
- 45:16Speaker 2: the invention of fire and the cooking of food that
- 45:19Speaker 2: gave us better access to nutrition and protein, and then
- 45:22Speaker 2: innovating in order to hunt allowed the brain.
- 45:25Speaker 1: But it was such an accelerated period of time. It
- 45:28Speaker 1: went like so quickly the.
- 45:30Speaker 2: Human brain size doubled over a period of two million years,
- 45:32Speaker 2: which is the greatest mystery in the entire fossil record.
- 45:35Speaker 1: Yeah, like, what made that happen?
- 45:38Speaker 2: We don't know. But in religious texts, anti religious texts,
- 45:43Speaker 2: there's many stories of human beings breeding with something from
- 45:50Speaker 2: somewhere else. That's a part of a yes, yes.
- 45:54Speaker 1: Right, without trying to sound ridiculous, hyper.
- 45:56Speaker 2: Intelligent life form. But if you think about it, if a.
- 46:00Speaker 1: Show about that, And I was like, that makes sense.
- 46:02Speaker 2: What was the show you're watching?
- 46:03Speaker 1: Do you remember Ancient da Aliens?
- 46:09Speaker 2: That show's the best.
- 46:11Speaker 1: It's so silly, it's amazing. And I like two in
- 46:15Speaker 1: the morning.
- 46:15Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, my friend Action Bronson, he used to
- 46:18Speaker 2: do a show. He doesn't do that show anymore, does he.
- 46:20Speaker 2: They would get super baked and watch Ancient Aliens.
- 46:23Speaker 1: It'd be like, bro, Ancient Aliens is rad I love
- 46:28Speaker 1: that show in the morning.
- 46:29Speaker 2: Oh it's fun. It's very fun. I think they're right
- 46:33Speaker 2: about some of those things. I think there's something to it.
- 46:37Speaker 2: I mean, that is one of the oldest Biblical text
- 46:42Speaker 2: that wasn't included in the canon that is the Bible
- 46:44Speaker 2: is the Book of Enoch and uh. I had Anna
- 46:48Speaker 2: Paulina Luna on the podcast and she was she brought
- 46:50Speaker 2: that up, and I was like, she was like, you
- 46:52Speaker 2: really should read that. So I read it and you
- 46:54Speaker 2: start reading, like, wait, what the hell are they talking about?
- 46:58Speaker 2: The watchers came down from the sky to mate with
- 47:02Speaker 2: humans and created the nepheline, a race of giants that
- 47:06Speaker 2: destroyed the earth. And like, what are you talking about,
- 47:10Speaker 2: Like what is this? This is in the Bible, and
- 47:12Speaker 2: it would have been in the Bible if it not
- 47:13Speaker 2: for a few rabbis that decided this doesn't jive with
- 47:16Speaker 2: the Torah, and so they say, we got to get
- 47:18Speaker 2: that out of there, and that's why it's not taught
- 47:20Speaker 2: along with the Book of Ezekiel and all these other
- 47:22Speaker 2: things that are in the Old Testament.
- 47:24Speaker 1: Wow versus like in Hindu mythology also, you know, we
- 47:28Speaker 1: read about a time where God, human, and demon existed
- 47:33Speaker 1: at the same time and pro created and like created
- 47:37Speaker 1: different realms and you know, life and stories and you know,
- 47:42Speaker 1: so it's like when you think about stories like that,
- 47:46Speaker 1: stories beliefs you know from around the world that have
- 47:50Speaker 1: similar sort of color. Yeah, it's almost like trying to
- 47:56Speaker 1: connect the dots of what must have happened at that time.
- 47:59Speaker 1: You know, around the world, it's probably the same thing,
- 48:03Speaker 1: you know, some sort of incredible technology.
- 48:06Speaker 2: Yeah, and some and a lot of them have these
- 48:11Speaker 2: stories of something of some kind of higher nature, higher power,
- 48:16Speaker 2: higher technology intervening in the lives of human beings and
- 48:22Speaker 2: even manipulating the process.
- 48:25Speaker 1: Yeah, but isn't that what I think was referred to
- 48:28Speaker 1: as the gods? Yeah, and like if you think about
- 48:31Speaker 1: the Roman you know, or Egyptian like gods. I don't
- 48:35Speaker 1: want to speak about culture, but I can't even say
- 48:37Speaker 1: about ours, but that power that we read about, you
- 48:42Speaker 1: know that like if you if you go into it.
- 48:45Speaker 1: I'm a big believer. So I think that, you know,
- 48:49Speaker 1: was that like a real experience, experience that happened to
- 48:53Speaker 1: a human.
- 48:54Speaker 2: Being at that time, a real experience with someone that
- 48:56Speaker 2: had a limited vocabulary, a limited amount of knowledge, and
- 48:59Speaker 2: a limited ability to write things down. And so they
- 49:02Speaker 2: probably told these stories from whatever words they could use
- 49:06Speaker 2: to describe what this was like. If you were living
- 49:09Speaker 2: thirty thousand years ago, forty thousand years ago and a
- 49:13Speaker 2: UFO landed, a giant metallic disc landed, and little tiny
- 49:18Speaker 2: creatures came out and talked to you telepathically. You don't
- 49:21Speaker 2: have a written language, you don't eat your cultures hunter gatherers, like, how.
- 49:26Speaker 1: Do you have that story?
- 49:27Speaker 2: How do you tell that story? And what are the
- 49:28Speaker 2: people that you told that story to going to tell
- 49:31Speaker 2: their children and their grandchildren for many, many, many many
- 49:35Speaker 2: generations before anybody figures out how to write things down totally.
- 49:38Speaker 1: But a now, the perspective on this which people have
- 49:42Speaker 1: is is that our pragmatic, practical twenty twenty six human
- 49:49Speaker 1: trying to explain something that was magical and did exist
- 49:53Speaker 1: at a time that we don't have an explanation for.
- 49:56Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what I mean, for sure.
- 49:57Speaker 1: Like there's the others of that with people that you know,
- 50:02Speaker 1: you hear so many stories of visitations from the gods
- 50:06Speaker 1: back then, you know, to humans and the divinity of
- 50:11Speaker 1: at least in my country for sure, of different avtars
- 50:14Speaker 1: of gods coming down to Earth to save humankind and
- 50:18Speaker 1: to help in human salvation and to help them against evil.
- 50:24Speaker 1: So when you hear of those stories, like the practical
- 50:27Speaker 1: side of me like are those human stories and who
- 50:29Speaker 1: is the power that they were seeing at that time?
- 50:33Speaker 1: And then there's a side of you which is like
- 50:35Speaker 1: there's so much we can't explain and sometimes have to
- 50:39Speaker 1: like leave it to inexplicable magic of the universe. Like
- 50:45Speaker 1: I'm someone who loves science, but I also am a
- 50:48Speaker 1: believer of that just can't explain everything, well.
- 50:52Speaker 2: Even science itself, Like hardcore materialists science totally. If you're
- 50:59Speaker 2: trying to explain the Big Bang, good fucking luck, Good
- 51:03Speaker 2: fucking luck making sense out of something smaller than the
- 51:05Speaker 2: head of a pin that became everything that's in the universe.
- 51:08Speaker 1: Okay, explain that to me, help me out.
- 51:14Speaker 2: I mean, it's all theoretical and speculative and that no
- 51:18Speaker 2: one really knows. And then there's this concept of what
- 51:21Speaker 2: took place before the Big Bang. And then there's Sir
- 51:23Speaker 2: Roger Penrose's version of it, which is there's been many
- 51:27Speaker 2: versions of the Big Bang expansion then contraction, and that
- 51:30Speaker 2: it's not the beginning, that it's a part of an
- 51:32Speaker 2: endless cycle.
- 51:33Speaker 1: That's what I've I mean, I've heard from in India
- 51:36Speaker 1: as well, the believer belief that that was not kind
- 51:39Speaker 1: of the beginning. There's been many beginnings and many ends
- 51:41Speaker 1: that have no idea of.
- 51:44Speaker 2: That makes more sense to me. It makes more sense
- 51:46Speaker 2: because I think the problem with a beginning, we're like, well,
- 51:49Speaker 2: what was here originally? We always want to think of
- 51:52Speaker 2: things in terms of our own biological limitations. We have
- 51:54Speaker 2: a birth and we have a death, so we think
- 51:56Speaker 2: that the.
- 51:56Speaker 1: Universe, probably everything has a limitation.
- 51:58Speaker 2: But why it's the time where.
- 52:01Speaker 1: It's time's limitation. It's existed from who knows what.
- 52:05Speaker 2: Right, it's constant, it's never not been here. Yeah, So
- 52:09Speaker 2: the idea that there was nothing before the universe, well,
- 52:12Speaker 2: that doesn't even make sense.
- 52:13Speaker 1: It's funny. When I was doing research for The Bluff
- 52:16Speaker 1: this movie, I went to the Cayman Islands for a
- 52:19Speaker 1: couple of days to get an understanding of the history
- 52:23Speaker 1: of the islands. And the Caribbean is so interesting, especially
- 52:27Speaker 1: Caman because it's it's in the middle of these trading
- 52:29Speaker 1: routes between Hondura's Cuba Mexico, so ships when trading started
- 52:35Speaker 1: is when the Caman was discovered, the islands were discovered.
- 52:39Speaker 1: So when I went down there, I went to the
- 52:40Speaker 1: museum and they said, yeah, it was like the seventeen
- 52:42Speaker 1: hundreds or eighteen hundreds when the first settlers came, and
- 52:47Speaker 1: you know, it started with family or like people trying
- 52:50Speaker 1: to run away, or pirates or you know, just people
- 52:53Speaker 1: making pit stops before going to another another country. And
- 52:58Speaker 1: they said that that was the first time that there
- 53:00Speaker 1: was any history of the island, And I was like,
- 53:02Speaker 1: how is that possible that only when like settlers found
- 53:07Speaker 1: that and now I mean camean islands, came in islands, right,
- 53:11Speaker 1: But how like, if you think about there's so many
- 53:15Speaker 1: places in the world where people and humans have existed
- 53:20Speaker 1: way before we even have an understanding of or are
- 53:23Speaker 1: willing to acknowledge, you know, in many pressures it's different.
- 53:27Speaker 2: But well, we just lost the history of it. That's
- 53:30Speaker 2: possible too.
- 53:31Speaker 1: That's what my argument was. I was like, it's you know,
- 53:34Speaker 1: like we have to have lost the history of what
- 53:36Speaker 1: happened prior.
- 53:38Speaker 2: There's an entire culture from South America that we don't
- 53:41Speaker 2: know who they were, the Omecs that we have some
- 53:44Speaker 2: giant carved heads, and we're like, oh, who did that?
- 53:49Speaker 2: They think it that come from the thousands and thousands
- 53:52Speaker 2: of years old? They look African. It's very strange if
- 53:55Speaker 2: you're seeing, oh, look like this that's an Omecha, Like
- 54:01Speaker 2: how nuts is that? Like that's a replica of these
- 54:04Speaker 2: enormous heads that are in I think is it Peru
- 54:08Speaker 2: Luke Caverns, who's been on the podcast, who's a really
- 54:12Speaker 2: fascinating guy who does a lot of research down there.
- 54:16Speaker 2: He has been there and documented and he's like, they
- 54:19Speaker 2: don't know who these people were, they don't know what
- 54:21Speaker 2: their language was. They don't even know what they look
- 54:24Speaker 2: like except for these images, and they don't even know
- 54:26Speaker 2: if these images are supposed to be of them, Like
- 54:29Speaker 2: these statues they just found. See if you can find
- 54:32Speaker 2: some of these heads so you can see, like the
- 54:35Speaker 2: the scale. Crazy. So they left these enormous stone heads
- 54:40Speaker 2: they attributed to this one civilization that they call the Omes.
- 54:43Speaker 2: They just made a name up, but they don't know
- 54:45Speaker 2: who the hell these people were and look at their
- 54:47Speaker 2: faces like that's crazy.
- 54:51Speaker 1: That's huge. Yeah, And do you know how old these
- 54:54Speaker 1: might be?
- 54:55Speaker 2: They don't really know, but I think that how many
- 54:58Speaker 2: thousands of years old? Do they think they are? Jamie
- 55:04Speaker 2: crazy stuff? Yeah, so at least nine hundred BC. But
- 55:10Speaker 2: you know what does that mean? Yeah, that's a guess.
- 55:13Speaker 2: That's a guess because.
- 55:14Speaker 1: They don't know anytime a long time ago.
- 55:17Speaker 2: Well even the Aztecs. Do you know, the Aztecs didn't
- 55:20Speaker 2: build those temples. They found them.
- 55:23Speaker 1: The Aztecs found that they the temple.
- 55:26Speaker 2: They found them from an unknown previous civilization. Oh my god. Yeah,
- 55:30Speaker 2: they call those temples the place where the gods were born. Yeah,
- 55:35Speaker 2: that's what they called them. And they just kind of
- 55:36Speaker 2: like cleaned it up, which kind of makes sense because
- 55:39Speaker 2: you think of like how barbaric the Aztecs were, Like
- 55:42Speaker 2: they did some horrific shit, Like we were talking about
- 55:45Speaker 2: one of the temples, I think it was the No
- 55:47Speaker 2: chip Lan. When they consecrated it, they killed between twenty
- 55:53Speaker 2: and eighty thousand people. They sacrificed them in a period
- 55:58Speaker 2: of four days. And so this is like right when
- 56:00Speaker 2: the Spanish we're first visiting Mexico thinking about taking over
- 56:04Speaker 2: and this this idea, as a Spanish chronicler said, it
- 56:08Speaker 2: was the fucking craziest thing. They killed eighty thousand people,
- 56:11Speaker 2: he said, over a period of four days, just cut
- 56:13Speaker 2: their hearts out and threw their bodies down the stairs
- 56:16Speaker 2: like nuts. This episode is brought to you by Into It. TurboTax.

- 56:56Speaker 2: so these are the people that.
- 56:57Speaker 1: Yeah, you think about like how country were, like conquests happen,
- 57:02Speaker 1: and like, you know, we're living in the history of
- 57:06Speaker 1: so many people's blood and.
- 57:10Speaker 2: Sacrifices and violence. It's unfathomable amount of violence.
- 57:15Speaker 1: So capable of that kind of like a violence. Having
- 57:19Speaker 1: done a really violent movie right now.
- 57:21Speaker 2: Because chimps, because we're mostly chimp and I think if
- 57:26Speaker 2: you pay attention to chimps like you behavior simp Nation
- 57:29Speaker 2: on Netflix.
- 57:30Speaker 3: I haven't fastic fantastic, It's just it's spectacular because it
- 57:36Speaker 3: is a rare, very rare situation where this one particular.
- 57:40Speaker 2: Group of chimpanzees, they were embedded with these scientists for
- 57:43Speaker 2: twenty years. So the scientists had very specific rules. Don't
- 57:46Speaker 2: get within twenty yards of them, don't make eye contact
- 57:49Speaker 2: with them, don't have any food with you, okay, and
- 57:51Speaker 2: don't don't interfere. And they're totally accustomed to having people
- 57:56Speaker 2: around them, so they behave totally naturally, Yeah, and so
- 57:58Speaker 2: they wage war. They have all these like crazy social
- 58:01Speaker 2: dynamics used to these humans exactly, and when you watch it,
- 58:07Speaker 2: you're like, oh my god, they are a lot like us.
- 58:10Speaker 2: They are a lot like us, just like very primitive,
- 58:13Speaker 2: no language, but ultraviolent. Chimps are ultra violent. I mean
- 58:20Speaker 2: that one of their favorite foods, this guy was telling
- 58:22Speaker 2: me was monkeys. They just love eating monkeys. He goes.
- 58:25Speaker 2: We saw them kill so many monkeys we couldn't even
- 58:27Speaker 2: document it, he goes, because if it would just be
- 58:29Speaker 2: like every day was like a monkey hunt, they would
- 58:31Speaker 2: tear these monkeys apart and eat them alive. It's a
- 58:34Speaker 2: horrific That's that's our ancestors. So what we are is
- 58:38Speaker 2: a combination, like if.
- 58:40Speaker 1: You can, well, that explains it.
- 58:41Speaker 2: Yeah, this explains it. We're a combination of some higher
- 58:45Speaker 2: intelligence that into bread with a savage primate that's curious
- 58:50Speaker 2: and created this weird hybrid, this weird thing.
- 58:54Speaker 1: So that's what told me, and I believe I think
- 58:57Speaker 1: they're right.
- 58:58Speaker 2: They're right about that. Have you ever seen Chariots of
- 59:01Speaker 2: the Gods. That's the original one, Eric von Danakin, that
- 59:04Speaker 2: was in like the nineteen seventies. It was a movie
- 59:07Speaker 2: like a feature movie.
- 59:09Speaker 1: I mean, I remember the movie, but I don't remember.
- 59:11Speaker 2: Any Yeah, I had lunch with him once, got a
- 59:14Speaker 2: chance to question him about stuff. He's a like a
- 59:17Speaker 2: true believer, like a true believer believe well, he believe
- 59:21Speaker 2: that everything is from aliens, that aliens came down and
- 59:24Speaker 2: aliens taught people how to do things, and aliens built
- 59:26Speaker 2: all these things. And I'm more in line of they
- 59:31Speaker 2: intervened and created what we think of now as humans.
- 59:36Speaker 2: And then humans figured out a different path of technology
- 59:40Speaker 2: than we're on today, that we are on the path
- 59:43Speaker 2: of internal combustion, engines, electronics, electricity, And they were probably
- 59:47Speaker 2: on some different path of technology, but as far down
- 59:51Speaker 2: the path, if not more. And I think they probably
- 59:55Speaker 2: had figured out some things that we have yet to
- 59:58Speaker 2: figure out, include like the trans the transferring, and the
- 1:00:05Speaker 2: moving and shipping of enormous stone blocks without heavy machinery.
- 1:00:09Speaker 2: Like we don't know what they were dimation what how
- 1:00:15Speaker 2: do they cut them? Like? What do they what do they?
- 1:00:17Speaker 2: What if those structures that Felipo Beyondi describes under if
- 1:00:22Speaker 2: that's real? Like what was the pyramid then? And machine?
- 1:00:25Speaker 1: Yeah, how did they do? Like first they created the structure,
- 1:00:28Speaker 1: like imagine the foundation and the design that went into it.
- 1:00:33Speaker 2: Half a mile deep into the earth, crazy, like what
- 1:00:37Speaker 2: is that? What are you doing?
- 1:00:38Speaker 1: Because I'm saying I don't know if I like, I
- 1:00:41Speaker 1: just know that we can't explain that quick evolution of
- 1:00:46Speaker 1: humans from neanderthal.
- 1:00:48Speaker 2: To we can't and all highly intelligent. Yes, we can't. Yeah,
- 1:00:53Speaker 2: I mean there's just a lot of people saying, well,
- 1:00:55Speaker 2: we haven't filled in the gaps yet. Yeah, we don't
- 1:00:57Speaker 2: really know. But the acceleration of the evolution so spectacular,
- 1:01:01Speaker 2: like vegans are hilarious. They attributed to people eating tubers.
- 1:01:04Speaker 2: I had a conversation with the guys like, we're thinking
- 1:01:06Speaker 2: it's probably tubers like roots, you mean, like bears eat.
- 1:01:09Speaker 2: Shut the fuck up. That is the dumbest exploit that
- 1:01:12Speaker 2: didn't make any sense. Are you really congratulations?
- 1:01:18Speaker 1: I just had for breakfast. I had risk it. I
- 1:01:23Speaker 1: was like, I'm here in Austin for two hours.
- 1:01:25Speaker 2: Yeah, you have to have barbecue if you come here. Yeah.
- 1:01:29Speaker 2: I just think that whatever happened, we don't know, And
- 1:01:34Speaker 2: I would not rule out intervention, and I wouldn't think
- 1:01:38Speaker 2: that an intelligent species from somewhere else if they did
- 1:01:41Speaker 2: find these very curious primates that may already be working
- 1:01:44Speaker 2: with sticks and rocks and stuff like that that they
- 1:01:47Speaker 2: wouldn't intervene because we do it. We're doing it right now.
- 1:01:50Speaker 2: We're doing it right now. With if we went to
- 1:01:53Speaker 2: a planet somewhere and we found some fucking frogs or
- 1:01:58Speaker 2: some weird animals but nothing big, we might drop a
- 1:02:01Speaker 2: deer off in there and see what happens. You know,
- 1:02:03Speaker 2: we went bring some birds in.
- 1:02:06Speaker 1: Look, you would we would intervene.
- 1:02:08Speaker 2: They're doing genetic manipulation of animals right now to bring
- 1:02:11Speaker 2: back extinct life. That's how they brought back the the
- 1:02:15Speaker 2: dire wolf. This company called Colossal Colossal buy worse they
- 1:02:19Speaker 2: I saw it, I touched it. I went, yes, I
- 1:02:23Speaker 2: went to the place where they're holding these wolves and
- 1:02:27Speaker 2: I got to me and my daughter got to cuddle
- 1:02:30Speaker 2: with a baby dire wolf. They had two semi adults
- 1:02:34Speaker 2: at the time. I think they were like eight or
- 1:02:36Speaker 2: nine months.
- 1:02:36Speaker 1: An extinct since when ten thousand years stop.
- 1:02:40Speaker 2: It, yeah, somewhere in the range of that, I mean, yeah,
- 1:02:45Speaker 2: when did dire wolves go extinct? I think they're part
- 1:02:48Speaker 2: of the megafauna that went extinct during the impact, because
- 1:02:51Speaker 2: sixty five percent of all megafauna on Earth, and particularly
- 1:02:56Speaker 2: in North America went extinct around the same time. Will mammoths?
- 1:03:00Speaker 1: Do you know why around the same time. There's a
- 1:03:03Speaker 1: lot of something that happened.
- 1:03:05Speaker 2: The rational people, not me, but the rational people think
- 1:03:08Speaker 2: it was the berserker theory, which means that human beings
- 1:03:12Speaker 2: killed so many mammoths that we wiped them out to extinction.
- 1:03:16Speaker 2: But this was with atal atoms, Like it doesn't make
- 1:03:19Speaker 2: total sense. It's like, how did you get there's not
- 1:03:21Speaker 2: even that many people, How'd you do that? And then
- 1:03:24Speaker 2: there's also stuff like the American lion, which was bigger
- 1:03:27Speaker 2: than the African lion had? How do we kill that
- 1:03:29Speaker 2: off with a fucking stick? Like, shut the fuck up?
- 1:03:31Speaker 1: Something that something had to have happened.
- 1:03:34Speaker 2: Well, mass grave sites of mammoths where there's like hundreds
- 1:03:39Speaker 2: of them dead all in one place that seemed to
- 1:03:41Speaker 2: have died at the same time. Not only that some
- 1:03:43Speaker 2: of them have broken legs. It seems to impact some
- 1:03:45Speaker 2: It seems.
- 1:03:45Speaker 1: To like some like asteroid or some something that made
- 1:03:51Speaker 1: that kind of impact immediately.
- 1:03:53Speaker 2: But sixty of all North American megafauna died at the
- 1:03:57Speaker 2: same time. Yeah, within the time period, and they think
- 1:04:01Speaker 2: that the younger Dry's impact theory. People think like this
- 1:04:04Speaker 2: is not a coincidence that there's coincides with the end
- 1:04:07Speaker 2: of the ice Age and also coincides with where the
- 1:04:11Speaker 2: core samples are. Yeah, and also the coincides with the
- 1:04:16Speaker 2: fact that these animals were all here at one point
- 1:04:20Speaker 2: in time. They're all got wiped out except a very few.
- 1:04:23Speaker 2: There's only a few left. Like there's the prong horned antelope,
- 1:04:27Speaker 2: which is a really weird one. It's this prehistoric antelope
- 1:04:30Speaker 2: that lives in North America and it's different than every
- 1:04:33Speaker 2: other animal here because it's evolved to get away from
- 1:04:36Speaker 2: cheetahs because we used to have cheetahs in North America.
- 1:04:39Speaker 2: So it can run like fifty five fucking books. I've
- 1:04:43Speaker 2: seen them in real life. They're really weird looking. They
- 1:04:46Speaker 2: look prehistoric, but can they fly. That's what it looks like.
- 1:04:50Speaker 2: See if you can get a look at its face
- 1:04:52Speaker 2: when you see it head on, they're so strange, like
- 1:04:54Speaker 2: their eyeballs are on the sides of their heads because
- 1:04:57Speaker 2: something was coming at them, like you know, fifty five
- 1:05:00Speaker 2: five miles an hour at full clip, and so they're
- 1:05:02Speaker 2: really really alert and they have incredible vision. Wow, And
- 1:05:08Speaker 2: that's a leftover animal that's a leftover animal from a
- 1:05:11Speaker 2: time where they were being preyed upon by something that
- 1:05:14Speaker 2: doesn't exist anymore, and that's something was wiped out along
- 1:05:18Speaker 2: with the American lion. A bigger lion than the African
- 1:05:22Speaker 2: lion lived right here.
- 1:05:23Speaker 1: Huge, that's crazy. I was filming in Africa recently, in Kenya,
- 1:05:27Speaker 1: and we for this Indian movie I'm doing Calvary, and
- 1:05:34Speaker 1: we shot with wildebeests and like as in like in
- 1:05:38Speaker 1: the middle of them. I was me and microactive Agha
- 1:05:40Speaker 1: in the middle of these wilder beasts that were all
- 1:05:43Speaker 1: around us while they were migrating. It's like the coolest
- 1:05:46Speaker 1: thing I've ever seen. But when you see their faces
- 1:05:50Speaker 1: and for how many years versions of them have existed,
- 1:05:54Speaker 1: you know, you feel the gravity when you see these
- 1:05:58Speaker 1: animals in the wild. Yeah, it's crazy. It's so much
- 1:06:02Speaker 1: different than a zoo, right, oh, completely.
- 1:06:04Speaker 2: Because you're like, oh, they've always been here like this, Yeah,
- 1:06:06Speaker 2: this is their home, this is what they do.
- 1:06:08Speaker 1: We're in it. You feel a sense of like stay
- 1:06:11Speaker 1: in your jeep.
- 1:06:12Speaker 2: Well, I think we're numb to it because we watch
- 1:06:15Speaker 2: it on film and so that we get sort of
- 1:06:17Speaker 2: desensitized and normalized to this idea of wildlife. Oh there's
- 1:06:20Speaker 2: the lion sneaking up on the wildebeest. How cool. Yeah,
- 1:06:23Speaker 2: but when you're there and you see a line and
- 1:06:26Speaker 2: you see a will to be like, this is fucking crazy.
- 1:06:28Speaker 2: This is all day long, every day, these life forms
- 1:06:31Speaker 2: competing to try to existence.
- 1:06:33Speaker 1: They survive.
- 1:06:33Speaker 2: That's it's like weird balance where all of them.
- 1:06:36Speaker 1: It still exists. Yeah, they can. There'll be wildebeest right there,
- 1:06:40Speaker 1: and there'll be a line right here who's eaten. So
- 1:06:42Speaker 1: they're hanging out together. The wilde bees snows that he's eaten,
- 1:06:45Speaker 1: he's not coming after us. And they exist. But at
- 1:06:47Speaker 1: the same time they're you know, during hunting season, you
- 1:06:51Speaker 1: see the hunt happen and I so a hunt happened,
- 1:06:55Speaker 1: And that's that's crazy that that's their life.
- 1:06:58Speaker 2: Yeah, with their face. They kill things with their face.
- 1:07:02Speaker 2: Like literally, there's a really extraordinary island in Africa where
- 1:07:07Speaker 2: the river changed courses and it left this one pack
- 1:07:12Speaker 2: of lions on this one island that only has water
- 1:07:16Speaker 2: buffalo on it, and so these lions became enormous and
- 1:07:20Speaker 2: the female lions are as big as male lions everywhere else,
- 1:07:24Speaker 2: and the male lions are way bigger than they are
- 1:07:25Speaker 2: anywhere else. I think there's the documentaries. I think it's
- 1:07:28Speaker 2: called Relentless Enemies, but it's so because they look like
- 1:07:31Speaker 2: these Jack Bodybuilder lions.
- 1:07:33Speaker 1: Water buffaloes are huge. And I had one staring at
- 1:07:37Speaker 1: me like we were in Kenya. I'm like the video
- 1:07:40Speaker 1: of Religiosity were filming and it's far away, but it
- 1:07:44Speaker 1: just turned his head and just looked at me and
- 1:07:46Speaker 1: then just kept looking at me. And I swear I
- 1:07:48Speaker 1: had to like get up and get out of its
- 1:07:50Speaker 1: view because it just kept staring. I was like, it's
- 1:07:53Speaker 1: coming at me.
- 1:07:54Speaker 2: They will at you, Yeah, for sure. They kill people.
- 1:07:57Speaker 1: The rangers told us, They're like, I think he's engaged
- 1:08:00Speaker 1: with you. Maybe maybe get out of here, get into
- 1:08:03Speaker 1: your car.
- 1:08:05Speaker 2: Yeah. There's that poor lady from who she was a
- 1:08:07Speaker 2: video editor on the Game of Thrones and she went
- 1:08:10Speaker 2: to do a safari there and it pulled one one
- 1:08:12Speaker 2: of the lions pulled her out of her car, out
- 1:08:15Speaker 2: of her car. Yeah, she rolled the window down, or
- 1:08:18Speaker 2: someone rolled the window down, and a female lion just
- 1:08:21Speaker 2: snatched her out of the car and killed her.
- 1:08:24Speaker 1: Oh my god.
- 1:08:25Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:08:26Speaker 1: Yeah, you have to listen to your rangers. Yeah, when
- 1:08:29Speaker 1: you're in these situations exactly.
- 1:08:31Speaker 2: Yeah, I main think she wanted a better picture or something.
- 1:08:34Speaker 1: That's the shit that gets people into trouble. Oh yeah,
- 1:08:37Speaker 1: Like there was this one of our rangers was telling
- 1:08:39Speaker 1: us a story that they have. We were in Masaimara
- 1:08:42Speaker 1: and they were like, they have open jeeps and you know,
- 1:08:45Speaker 1: you have food that they keep really hidden so that
- 1:08:48Speaker 1: the animals can't smell it under your seats and stuff.
- 1:08:51Speaker 1: And he was telling a story about this influenza. He's
- 1:08:54Speaker 1: driving and you know, there's a pack of lions, lions
- 1:08:58Speaker 1: just eaten, so he's sleeping and this influenza who puts
- 1:09:02Speaker 1: his hand outside to try and touch the lion's head
- 1:09:05Speaker 1: and got it on video and survived to tell the story,
- 1:09:09Speaker 1: and then he was banned and the ranger was like
- 1:09:11Speaker 1: fired from his job, and all of that happened.
- 1:09:14Speaker 2: But for the image, idiot, all for the gram.
- 1:09:20Speaker 1: My gosh, that was crazy.
- 1:09:21Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I mean, I don't want anything bad
- 1:09:25Speaker 2: to happen to anybody, but when someone does something like
- 1:09:28Speaker 2: that and does get killed, it's probably better educationally for
- 1:09:33Speaker 2: the human race.
- 1:09:34Speaker 1: But is it, though? Are are we really learning from
- 1:09:37Speaker 1: other people and their examples.
- 1:09:38Speaker 2: Some people aren't learning.
- 1:09:40Speaker 1: Shit, nobody's learning. We're just trying to put the best
- 1:09:44Speaker 1: versions of ourselves on the ground. Like that's what the Yeah,
- 1:09:47Speaker 1: that's what's happening right now, whether it's true or not.
- 1:09:50Speaker 2: Yeah, But are we learning? Yeah, it's a good question.
- 1:09:54Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I think we are also
- 1:09:55Speaker 1: so desensitized to there's so much information that comes your
- 1:09:58Speaker 1: way and misinformation. Now we're being able to discern what's
- 1:10:02Speaker 1: real and what's not. Now that's hard as well, Oh totally.
- 1:10:08Speaker 1: And then if you do watch something and you're like,
- 1:10:11Speaker 1: I'm going to implement in my life, we do it
- 1:10:13Speaker 1: for a very short duration. Very few of us follow
- 1:10:16Speaker 1: through with that, right, Like you're watching a reel or
- 1:10:18Speaker 1: somebody says something and you're like, that's really cool. Are
- 1:10:21Speaker 1: we going to pull on that thread and follow through
- 1:10:24Speaker 1: and do something about it or learn from it? I
- 1:10:27Speaker 1: don't know. I feel like we've lost a lot of
- 1:10:31Speaker 1: that space where we had the time or the desire
- 1:10:37Speaker 1: to want to, you know, fulfill ourselves versus just that
- 1:10:41Speaker 1: with so much coming at you.
- 1:10:43Speaker 2: You have think collectively as a society. I think we
- 1:10:46Speaker 2: learn and then we forget, and then we have to
- 1:10:48Speaker 2: relearn again.
- 1:10:49Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, that's that's the attention span now where
- 1:10:53Speaker 1: you know, I remember when I was growing up, like
- 1:10:57Speaker 1: just having the languid of time right in a very
- 1:11:02Speaker 1: different way. And this is like say, thirty years ago,
- 1:11:05Speaker 1: thirty thirty five years ago of you know, reading a book, music, playing,
- 1:11:12Speaker 1: hanging out with your parents or your friends without being rushed,
- 1:11:18Speaker 1: just rushed. You know, I don't remember feeling as rushed
- 1:11:22Speaker 1: as I do now in the last twenty years when
- 1:11:25Speaker 1: I was growing up, like there was time for stuff.
- 1:11:28Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, certainly the Internet has accelerated that, you know,
- 1:11:35Speaker 2: and certainly people's attention spans are at least pulled in
- 1:11:38Speaker 2: the direction of short attention span content. But at the
- 1:11:42Speaker 2: same time, podcasts have emerged, which is interesting.
- 1:11:46Speaker 1: It's so interesting, Like I was talking about this to
- 1:11:49Speaker 1: a friend of mine, Like people who have no time
- 1:11:51Speaker 1: or interest in wanting to commit to like say a
- 1:11:53Speaker 1: movie or some will watch or listen to like a
- 1:11:57Speaker 1: podcast for yeah, two or three hours. And for someone
- 1:12:00Speaker 1: like me, who you know, like I've been an active
- 1:12:04Speaker 1: for most of my life, my interface with people would
- 1:12:08Speaker 1: be you know, an interview, say, for example, people who
- 1:12:11Speaker 1: knew me or audiences that wanted to know about me
- 1:12:13Speaker 1: would be an interview where you know, the highlights are
- 1:12:17Speaker 1: really what you read, the clickbait lines are really what
- 1:12:19Speaker 1: you read, and you form a relationship with whoever this
- 1:12:23Speaker 1: public person is based on those few lines versus this
- 1:12:27Speaker 1: format where you're just chatting for a few hours and
- 1:12:32Speaker 1: you have the ability to really be yourself and be
- 1:12:35Speaker 1: seen as yourself, which is why I think people really
- 1:12:37Speaker 1: love podcasts.
- 1:12:39Speaker 2: Well. I think it's much more illuminating in terms of
- 1:12:41Speaker 2: if you want to like find out who a person
- 1:12:43Speaker 2: really is, Yeah, because you can't really hide for three
- 1:12:46Speaker 2: hours like that's who you are. And I think for
- 1:12:49Speaker 2: most people that's scary, right, And so what they like
- 1:12:54Speaker 2: about those fake shows like Good Morning America or whatever
- 1:12:57Speaker 2: it is, you know what I mean, Like you're sitting down.
- 1:12:59Speaker 2: You know, the guy's got a piece of paper, so
- 1:13:01Speaker 2: he's got a few questions going to ask you, and
- 1:13:03Speaker 2: they're all going to be like very surface, very jovial.
- 1:13:06Speaker 2: What's it like to be married? You know, what's it
- 1:13:08Speaker 2: like to do this? What's it like to do that? Okay,
- 1:13:10Speaker 2: so yeah, out a baby, congratulations that kind of shit,
- 1:13:12Speaker 2: and then you're out of there. It's ten minutes and
- 1:13:15Speaker 2: you're like, oh, that went well, and then nobody knows
- 1:13:17Speaker 2: anything about you.
- 1:13:18Speaker 1: It's true that you're just basically known by the top
- 1:13:21Speaker 1: four questions that everybody asks you. So it's like the
- 1:13:24Speaker 1: same four questions that everybody asks.
- 1:13:26Speaker 2: Right, And what was it like to work with this person?
- 1:13:29Speaker 2: What was she like in person? What was he like?
- 1:13:31Speaker 2: For me?
- 1:13:32Speaker 1: Mostly, it's like a lot about my family, Like it's
- 1:13:35Speaker 1: like that my identity starts there and then everything else
- 1:13:39Speaker 1: comes after.
- 1:13:39Speaker 2: Well, you're fascinating in that you've done movies in two
- 1:13:44Speaker 2: different cultures, So like I wanted to ask you about that,
- 1:13:46Speaker 2: Like what is the Bollywood scene like? Because I wasn't
- 1:13:50Speaker 2: even aware of it until like twenty years ago. I
- 1:13:52Speaker 2: didn't know that. Like Bollywood is like this enormous, like
- 1:13:56Speaker 2: the amount of films that are produced in India's kind
- 1:13:59Speaker 2: of yeah, big business.
- 1:14:02Speaker 1: Huge, huge, one hundred and something years of Indian cinema
- 1:14:06Speaker 1: just recently. So a very very old industry. We started
- 1:14:11Speaker 1: with silent movies and have worked our way now too.
- 1:14:15Speaker 1: And that's not just Bollywood. I'll break that down in
- 1:14:17Speaker 1: a second. Because India is so diverse and we have
- 1:14:19Speaker 1: so many different languages again, excuse me, I didn't know
- 1:14:21Speaker 1: the exact number, but we have local industries that make
- 1:14:27Speaker 1: movies in those languages. So Bollywood is Bombay. It comes
- 1:14:34Speaker 1: from Bombay. I think that's why it was coined that
- 1:14:36Speaker 1: name from Hollywood, but the Bombay movie industry. Again, it
- 1:14:40Speaker 1: was not us that that it was a name that
- 1:14:42Speaker 1: was given to us. I don't know by who, But
- 1:14:44Speaker 1: Bollywood is the Hindi language industry which exists in Mumbai,
- 1:14:49Speaker 1: which is like La, It's huge, it's you know, we
- 1:14:52Speaker 1: make thousands and thousands of movies. But then there's also Telugu, Tamil, Punjabi, Malayala, Marathi, Bojpuri.
- 1:15:01Speaker 1: These are all robust industries that are localized within every
- 1:15:06Speaker 1: state that also exists. So cumulatively we make thousands and
- 1:15:10Speaker 1: thousands of movies a year, but it's catered to very
- 1:15:13Speaker 1: very different audiences within the diversity of India.
- 1:15:16Speaker 2: Wow, and how many people have come from India like
- 1:15:22Speaker 2: you and become stars in Western movies.
- 1:15:24Speaker 1: I think there have been a few before me, you know,
- 1:15:26Speaker 1: that have done.
- 1:15:27Speaker 2: First one I heard of. So what's made it to
- 1:15:31Speaker 2: me yet?
- 1:15:32Speaker 1: Well, thank you, yes, I think that it's been few
- 1:15:36Speaker 1: and far in between. I think America is a really
- 1:15:38Speaker 1: hard country to break into, U to be relevant in.
- 1:15:43Speaker 1: It's tough. And also, like I think Hollywood controls a
- 1:15:48Speaker 1: large part of the global entertainment business. So as an
- 1:15:51Speaker 1: actor from anywhere in the world, if you want to
- 1:15:54Speaker 1: break into the English language global entertainment Hollywood system, it's
- 1:16:00Speaker 1: not easy to do that. You know, culturally it's different.
- 1:16:05Speaker 1: Language is different, jokes are different. So that's a tough transition.
- 1:16:11Speaker 1: But it's also like for me, I really I went
- 1:16:15Speaker 1: to high school. Oh, by the way, you went to
- 1:16:17Speaker 1: Newton and I went to Newton too. I went to
- 1:16:19Speaker 1: Newton North. You went to Newton South. Yeah, yeah, so
- 1:16:25Speaker 1: I was in I was in high school in the States,
- 1:16:27Speaker 1: and I you know, so it wasn't like alien to me.
- 1:16:30Speaker 1: It's not like I was in India and I was like,
- 1:16:32Speaker 1: I want to go to America and start working there.
- 1:16:36Speaker 1: I really wanted to see what it would be like
- 1:16:39Speaker 1: if I came down here. Would there be an opportunity
- 1:16:41Speaker 1: for someone like me to you know, be able to
- 1:16:45Speaker 1: create an impact. Many years later, I feel like, you know,
- 1:16:50Speaker 1: I'm on my way there. But there have been so
- 1:16:52Speaker 1: many actors whose shoulders I stood on so Indian like
- 1:16:56Speaker 1: Indian casting in English language entertainment, it was Hollywood or
- 1:17:01Speaker 1: you know, British entertainment wherever was usually by us seen
- 1:17:06Speaker 1: as you know, a diversity check. So it was mostly
- 1:17:10Speaker 1: a stereotypical actor or a stereotypical character with an actor
- 1:17:14Speaker 1: having to speak in the accent or having to like
- 1:17:17Speaker 1: do the be a little bit more Indian? What does
- 1:17:20Speaker 1: that even mean?
- 1:17:21Speaker 2: Someone tell you that I was told in.
- 1:17:23Speaker 1: An audition, I think we needed the character to be
- 1:17:25Speaker 1: a little bit more Indian, and I just like didn't
- 1:17:28Speaker 1: even understand. There's so many versions of that, but I
- 1:17:32Speaker 1: think what the like this person meant was have a
- 1:17:35Speaker 1: little bit more of the accent speak yeah, be the character,
- 1:17:39Speaker 1: which was really tough to break out of. So you know,
- 1:17:43Speaker 1: at a time when it was only that work that
- 1:17:45Speaker 1: existed in Hollywood, like those are the actors whose shoulders
- 1:17:48Speaker 1: eyes stand on, Like those were the ones that went
- 1:17:50Speaker 1: in and did that work because that was all that
- 1:17:53Speaker 1: was available, and you know, tried to break through, especially
- 1:17:57Speaker 1: from like India for example uh Amita. But and if
- 1:18:04Speaker 1: I'm condy have an actors that have come in done
- 1:18:06Speaker 1: work and you know, left an amazing mark. But I
- 1:18:09Speaker 1: moved here. I live here now, and you know I'm
- 1:18:14Speaker 1: consistently working here. I think that also may have been
- 1:18:17Speaker 1: a part of why you've heard of me.
- 1:18:20Speaker 2: Yes, I'm sure. Well i've seen you interview too, which
- 1:18:23Speaker 2: is why I thought you were interesting.
- 1:18:25Speaker 1: But thank you appreciate that. But I think you all
- 1:18:28Speaker 1: very interesting. I think your knowledge of the world is
- 1:18:32Speaker 1: fascinating to me.
- 1:18:33Speaker 2: Well, it's all accidental.
- 1:18:36Speaker 1: Cool. How cool is that?
- 1:18:37Speaker 2: Yeah, it's cool.
- 1:18:39Speaker 1: That's amazing.
- 1:18:40Speaker 2: I started this thing out with my friend Brian and
- 1:18:43Speaker 2: a laptop. We were just talking shit. We just thought
- 1:18:46Speaker 2: it'd be fun to like do like a little Internet. Wow.
- 1:18:49Speaker 1: How inspiring.
- 1:18:50Speaker 2: And that was sixteen years ago.
- 1:18:53Speaker 1: You're someone who's pivoted your career so many times too, though.
- 1:18:57Speaker 2: Short of but all it's all the same thing in
- 1:19:00Speaker 2: that I've only just done things I'm interested in other
- 1:19:03Speaker 2: than Fear Factor.
- 1:19:04Speaker 1: That was just a job, you know. I also hosted
- 1:19:06Speaker 1: Fear Factory.
- 1:19:06Speaker 2: Did you know? Shut out one? Really?
- 1:19:10Speaker 1: I did well in Brazil in India Shut the fun
- 1:19:13Speaker 1: Up Factory easy, and we shot it in Brazil in Rio.
- 1:19:17Speaker 2: Wow.
- 1:19:19Speaker 1: That's not random things in common.
- 1:19:22Speaker 2: That is crazy. That's a crazy thing in common. I
- 1:19:24Speaker 2: need to see that. Let me see that. Find a clip.
- 1:19:27Speaker 2: This is hilarious. What language did you do it? Y?
- 1:19:30Speaker 1: Wow?
- 1:19:31Speaker 2: And it was Rio.
- 1:19:33Speaker 1: We shot it in Reo. We had a big budget
- 1:19:35Speaker 1: that year. We were all flowing out.
- 1:19:39Speaker 2: So it's fear Factor India. I wonder how many versions
- 1:19:41Speaker 2: of fear Factor they were.
- 1:19:42Speaker 1: I mean they're they're all over the world. Really yeah,
- 1:19:45Speaker 1: fear Factor used to exist, all of it. I don't
- 1:19:47Speaker 1: know anymore.
- 1:19:48Speaker 2: But that's why I stopped doing it. I stopped paying attention.
- 1:19:51Speaker 2: Was about too so I knew Ludacrous took it over
- 1:19:55Speaker 2: at one point in time, and now Johnny Knoxville's doing it.
- 1:19:57Speaker 2: That's all I knew. I had no idea that there
- 1:19:59Speaker 2: was all over the world versions. Yeah, yeah, you know.
- 1:20:03Speaker 2: It really came from a Holland show called Now or Neverland.
- 1:20:07Speaker 1: It's a crazy show.
- 1:20:08Speaker 2: Yeah it was. It was way more simple, and then
- 1:20:12Speaker 2: when it got brought to America, they decided to call
- 1:20:14Speaker 2: it fear Factor.
- 1:20:15Speaker 1: The whole eating thing. We didn't take that back to
- 1:20:19Speaker 1: it really. Yeah, we didn't do the eating like because
- 1:20:21Speaker 1: you know, you never know, people are vegetarian in India.
- 1:20:24Speaker 1: It's a big part of our culture where a lot
- 1:20:27Speaker 1: of people religiously are vegetarian or not. I think maybe
- 1:20:30Speaker 1: that's the reason. But there was not a lot of
- 1:20:32Speaker 1: like eat the worms and stuff, which I was very
- 1:20:35Speaker 1: grateful for. It was a lot more you know, cliff
- 1:20:38Speaker 1: and falling off the cliff. And I remember there was
- 1:20:41Speaker 1: this one which was crazy, this sixteen wheeler which was
- 1:20:45Speaker 1: driving it sixty miles an hour and everyone had to
- 1:20:48Speaker 1: take their vehicle underneath it. Oh yeah, underneath it and
- 1:20:52Speaker 1: come out yike.
- 1:20:53Speaker 2: It was insane, that's crazy.
- 1:20:54Speaker 1: I didn't have to do it, which is great. I
- 1:20:57Speaker 1: was just hosting.
- 1:20:58Speaker 2: Yeah. We did a lot of stuff where I was like,
- 1:21:00Speaker 2: we barely got through that without killing somebody. Yeah.
- 1:21:03Speaker 1: And the death waivers. Yeah, everyone had to sign a
- 1:21:06Speaker 1: death waiver.
- 1:21:07Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
- 1:21:08Speaker 1: I was like, why would you do a show where
- 1:21:11Speaker 1: you signed a death waiver?
- 1:21:13Speaker 2: Yeah, and you can only win like fifty thousand dollars
- 1:21:15Speaker 2: and you might not win. You're probably not gonna win.
- 1:21:17Speaker 2: There's much other people on the show, and you could
- 1:21:20Speaker 2: very easily get hurt.
- 1:21:21Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:21:21Speaker 2: Yeah, but people want to be famous. Do you want
- 1:21:24Speaker 2: to be on TV? I want to be on TV. Yeah.
- 1:21:27Speaker 2: Once it became popular and successful, it was really easy
- 1:21:30Speaker 2: to get people to do it too. Everybody wanted to
- 1:21:32Speaker 2: sign up.
- 1:21:33Speaker 1: But I mean there are like protective measures obviously, but
- 1:21:37Speaker 1: a little.
- 1:21:38Speaker 2: We made them ride bulls.
- 1:21:39Speaker 1: We didn't do we would people on bulls. Yeah, I was,
- 1:21:45Speaker 1: and there were a few that were like, no, I'm
- 1:21:46Speaker 1: not doing this, I'm out.
- 1:21:47Speaker 2: I told people not to do it when I was
- 1:21:50Speaker 2: talking to the off camera, said don't do it. I
- 1:21:52Speaker 2: wouldn't do it, don't do it.
- 1:21:53Speaker 1: I would never do it, no way, but people do
- 1:21:56Speaker 1: it that look at you.
- 1:22:00Speaker 2: The year was this? It looks like a fear Factor scene.
- 1:22:05Speaker 1: It is.
- 1:22:06Speaker 2: I was on a helicopter, so do you know what
- 1:22:08Speaker 2: year this was?
- 1:22:09Speaker 1: I can't say that. Wow, I stood outside the helicopter
- 1:22:17Speaker 1: as well as something amazing.
- 1:22:20Speaker 2: Wow, that's crazy. That is so funny. It's just like.
- 1:22:26Speaker 1: Beer factors, the same thing totally.
- 1:22:31Speaker 2: So what did you guys do for the second stunt?
- 1:22:33Speaker 2: If you didn't do a gross thing, you just did
- 1:22:35Speaker 2: a second.
- 1:22:35Speaker 1: Scary scary things mostly Oh.
- 1:22:38Speaker 2: Wow, it's probably better honestly, the girl.
- 1:22:40Speaker 1: I mean there were gross things too, like there's Brazilian
- 1:22:44Speaker 1: you know, red eyed deviled rats that were put all
- 1:22:47Speaker 1: over you with oh tongue and eyeballs and stuff, but
- 1:22:51Speaker 1: you didn't have to consume it. It was on you. Yeah,
- 1:22:55Speaker 1: you don't have to eat it.
- 1:22:56Speaker 2: A lot of the consuming it was psychological. You get
- 1:23:00Speaker 2: you get really accustomed to it and then it's like nothing.
- 1:23:03Speaker 1: I mean listen that people have eaten crazy things through
- 1:23:07Speaker 1: history to stay alive. And like if we take our
- 1:23:12Speaker 1: mind out of like, oh my gosh, this is gross,
- 1:23:16Speaker 1: then it's not. Well.
- 1:23:17Speaker 2: The thing is a lot of what we were serving
- 1:23:19Speaker 2: as gross was some people's food, like ballute, like my
- 1:23:23Speaker 2: friends from Filipino friends, they were like, bro, I eat
- 1:23:26Speaker 2: that all the time. Like that's crazy. That would have
- 1:23:29Speaker 2: that would have been no problem. Heard more updated what
- 1:23:34Speaker 2: Oh my god, lions and you got to roll that
- 1:23:39Speaker 2: thing around with lions. There the lions are duking it
- 1:23:41Speaker 2: out with each other. Fuck that, it's crazy. Yeah.
- 1:23:47Speaker 1: Like I went to I recently was on Fallon and
- 1:23:51Speaker 1: there was some bluffing game that we were doing because
- 1:23:54Speaker 1: the movie is called a bluff And you know, I
- 1:23:57Speaker 1: said to Jimmy, I was like I want and he
- 1:24:00Speaker 1: was like, no way, no way. You don't eat worms.
- 1:24:02Speaker 1: But these worms are a delicacy in Zimbabwe and I
- 1:24:06Speaker 1: was introduced to them. I don't know exactly the history,
- 1:24:11Speaker 1: but I was told during segregation, you know, people black
- 1:24:15Speaker 1: people were put or in areas where that weren't very fertile.
- 1:24:21Speaker 1: You couldn't really grow your crops and you know, your animals,
- 1:24:24Speaker 1: and they were so this was a way of like
- 1:24:27Speaker 1: protein and they're very These are these fat caterpillars, high
- 1:24:30Speaker 1: in protein, and they're made in a curry and when
- 1:24:33Speaker 1: you actually eat them, it's like chicken. I'm telling you,
- 1:24:36Speaker 1: it's like it was psychological.
- 1:24:39Speaker 2: But well, you know cicadas, these things. People eat them
- 1:24:42Speaker 2: here all the time. They bake them fried, baked, yeah,
- 1:24:46Speaker 2: and apparently they're delicious.
- 1:24:47Speaker 1: I haven't had one of those, but I actually did
- 1:24:50Speaker 1: when I.
- 1:24:51Speaker 2: Was well, that's what it looks like.
- 1:24:54Speaker 1: But look at like they're made out of They made
- 1:24:57Speaker 1: a curry.
- 1:24:58Speaker 2: I made it. I ate, not made I ate a
- 1:25:01Speaker 2: tomato hornworm. On Fear Factor, I had a bunch of
- 1:25:03Speaker 2: things when I was on the show.
- 1:25:05Speaker 1: I was like, there's nothing going into my mouth, and
- 1:25:07Speaker 1: fact I.
- 1:25:08Speaker 2: Ate a sheep's eyeball in the first episode. Because the
- 1:25:11Speaker 2: first episode I felt bad that the people were on
- 1:25:14Speaker 2: the show. You I'm gonna all right, and they didn't
- 1:25:19Speaker 2: show me eating it, but I'm like, I'm gonna eat
- 1:25:20Speaker 2: it because you guys have so nice. And then I
- 1:25:22Speaker 2: ate a roach to try to convince a lady that
- 1:25:24Speaker 2: she could eat a roach. I ate worms. I ate
- 1:25:28Speaker 2: an Iraqi cave spider. I ate it was a spider leg,
- 1:25:33Speaker 2: which is chewy. But was it The taste is not bad?
- 1:25:36Speaker 1: Was it alive when you eat it?
- 1:25:37Speaker 2: Oh? Yeah, for the first couple of seconds. Yeah, yeah.
- 1:25:45Speaker 2: All the things that I ate were alive, other than
- 1:25:46Speaker 2: the eyeball. Yeah, the roach. The roach was alive. All
- 1:25:51Speaker 2: those things were alive. Yeah.
- 1:25:53Speaker 1: I put a cricket in the live cricket in my mouth.
- 1:25:56Speaker 2: That's the Iraqi cave spider.
- 1:25:57Speaker 1: How do you put that in your mouth?
- 1:25:59Speaker 2: Like this? Look at those You make sure you don't
- 1:26:01Speaker 2: get those pinchers because those ah yeah ah yeah. Wasn't
- 1:26:07Speaker 2: that bad. I'm telling you, it's like a lot to get.
- 1:26:09Speaker 1: The body in and not the pinchers.
- 1:26:11Speaker 2: Yeah, to hold onto the body. That's not the rest
- 1:26:17Speaker 2: of it, like just that. Yeah, you freaking out, But
- 1:26:20Speaker 2: I'm telling you, it's all psychological for sure. Yeah. That
- 1:26:23Speaker 2: was that was in Vegas. Everybody was playing roulette. Yeah no,
- 1:26:32Speaker 2: but it's not that bad. It's just in your head.
- 1:26:35Speaker 2: The actual flavor of it is it's not gross.
- 1:26:38Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not.
- 1:26:39Speaker 2: The tomato horn worm was kind of nasty.
- 1:26:41Speaker 1: I mean if you if if you're someone who's not vegetarian,
- 1:26:44Speaker 1: it's like you just have to get the Yeah, it's
- 1:26:47Speaker 1: the psychology of.
- 1:26:48Speaker 2: It, right exactly. Yeah. We made people eat an entire
- 1:26:51Speaker 2: ostrich egg that was disgusting because the volume, Like is
- 1:26:56Speaker 2: it an egg that's that big? Yeah?
- 1:26:57Speaker 1: Is it like really fatty, Like.
- 1:27:00Speaker 2: It's raw, you're eating it raw. They just cut the
- 1:27:03Speaker 2: top off of the egg and you have to drink it.
- 1:27:05Speaker 2: You have to drink this gigantic white and yolk.
- 1:27:10Speaker 1: A my brisket's coming barbecue.
- 1:27:16Speaker 2: But it's so oddly compelling. It's oddly compelling watching people
- 1:27:20Speaker 2: eat disgusting things and struggling and I have to say,
- 1:27:24Speaker 2: enjoy that. Lad to drink that whole egg.
- 1:27:28Speaker 1: Oh my god, does you puke?
- 1:27:30Speaker 2: You gotta hold it down and then you can puke
- 1:27:32Speaker 2: after you're done.
- 1:27:33Speaker 1: But if you puke in the middle of it, you're
- 1:27:35Speaker 1: just yes.
- 1:27:36Speaker 2: They get rid of you. That's a wrap.
- 1:27:38Speaker 1: If you puke in the middle of it, I would
- 1:27:40Speaker 1: not be able to do. The Americans yeah, it was gross.
- 1:27:44Speaker 2: It was gross, but it also made me totally desensitized
- 1:27:47Speaker 2: to throw up.
- 1:27:49Speaker 1: That's a good talent to have.
- 1:27:50Speaker 2: Oh yeah, like you could throw up like a dad exactly.
- 1:27:54Speaker 3: Yeah, well that I think being a dad will get
- 1:27:56Speaker 3: you desensitize you and.
- 1:28:00Speaker 2: Things like that. But one time, it's so like, I'm
- 1:28:03Speaker 2: completely distilled to this day, completely decensitized to the vomits.
- 1:28:06Speaker 2: The one time my wife was she came home from
- 1:28:08Speaker 2: the gym and she was on her way home from
- 1:28:10Speaker 2: the gym, she stopped and got wheat grass juice, and
- 1:28:13Speaker 2: I just didn't agree with her, and she threw up
- 1:28:15Speaker 2: in her car and she was crying. She was like,
- 1:28:17Speaker 2: I threw up, it's my center console. How am I
- 1:28:20Speaker 2: going to clean? I go, I'll clean it. I'm just
- 1:28:22Speaker 2: so used to throw up. It was like, no big deal. Yeah,
- 1:28:26Speaker 2: like it doesn't. But when I was young, like in
- 1:28:29Speaker 2: high school, I remember if throwing someone threw up in
- 1:28:31Speaker 2: the hallway, I would be like like, I couldn't I
- 1:28:34Speaker 2: couldn't help myself. I'd start gagging. That's a natural instinct,
- 1:28:37Speaker 2: because the idea is that we developed that because if
- 1:28:40Speaker 2: someone's throwing up, it means they ate something. Bad and
- 1:28:43Speaker 2: you probably get it out of you right away, and
- 1:28:47Speaker 2: so that's why you start throwing up. And I've killed that.
- 1:28:50Speaker 1: I have just trauma from you know, tequila.
- 1:28:56Speaker 2: Well, I watched so many people throw up.
- 1:28:57Speaker 1: And throw up me too, man, I'm not going in
- 1:29:01Speaker 1: there with a dish like no, wow, Well from your show,
- 1:29:07Speaker 1: for sure, you did it for so long.
- 1:29:09Speaker 2: You get very decentive. Yeah, for sure, but you get
- 1:29:12Speaker 2: I'm decentesized to injuries too, like because of UFCA.
- 1:29:16Speaker 1: Yeah, people that get.
- 1:29:18Speaker 2: Cut and people that get beat up, it's like normal
- 1:29:21Speaker 2: to me. I'm so accustomed to saying that it's weird.
- 1:29:24Speaker 1: I mean I kind of feel like that about stunts
- 1:29:28Speaker 1: and movies, Like, you know, nobody's supposed to get hurt.
- 1:29:33Speaker 1: It's a movie, You're not nobody supposed to get hurt.
- 1:29:35Speaker 1: But like the little cuts and bruises and the like
- 1:29:38Speaker 1: the end of day, we're doing this for ten to
- 1:29:41Speaker 1: eleven hours, multiple takes, all day you're and in between
- 1:29:45Speaker 1: shots you're rehearsing it. So I have like so many
- 1:29:48Speaker 1: scars on my body from my filmography is on my body?
- 1:29:53Speaker 2: Do you look forward to? Do you like those things?
- 1:29:55Speaker 2: You look down? Yet?
- 1:29:56Speaker 1: Story?
- 1:29:57Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 1:29:57Speaker 1: I feel like it's like a metal I have on
- 1:29:59Speaker 1: the story, A minor nothing crazy. Always you aim for
- 1:30:03Speaker 1: it to be minor. Yeah, that's the ambition.
- 1:30:06Speaker 2: Well, when you're doing a fight scene, like like I said,
- 1:30:09Speaker 2: I I was kind of blown away by some of
- 1:30:11Speaker 2: the fight scenes in the Bluff because I'm looking, I'm like,
- 1:30:14Speaker 2: this is like an insane amount of choreography, a lot
- 1:30:16Speaker 2: of possibilities of things going wrong. There's kicks and punches
- 1:30:20Speaker 2: and axes and swords, and it's like, you gotta get
- 1:30:24Speaker 2: banged up. There's no way you're doing that and not
- 1:30:26Speaker 2: getting banged up.
- 1:30:27Speaker 1: And it was also like a dramatic performance along with it,
- 1:30:30Speaker 1: so I had to do a lot of it myself
- 1:30:33Speaker 1: because you know, you need the face in the camera
- 1:30:36Speaker 1: to feel the horror of what's happening, right, So I mean,
- 1:30:40Speaker 1: of course my stunt doubles did like a few dangerous
- 1:30:42Speaker 1: shots for sure, and were always around to kind of help.
- 1:30:45Speaker 1: But that there was this first scene, which is the
- 1:30:48Speaker 1: house invasion where these two guys come, and that was
- 1:30:52Speaker 1: brutal because I did not have shoes on and I
- 1:30:56Speaker 1: had a sleeveless outfit and the whole home was out
- 1:31:00Speaker 1: of wood and splinters, had splinters everywhere. I had bruises
- 1:31:05Speaker 1: and cuts everywhere because it was such a brutal, like
- 1:31:08Speaker 1: getting dragged and thrown kind of scene.
- 1:31:11Speaker 2: She's just getting constantly bruised.
- 1:31:13Speaker 1: Yes, I would try to sit in a magnesium bath
- 1:31:15Speaker 1: after when I would go back home, and that's when
- 1:31:17Speaker 1: you feel all the cuts, like the fucking so where
- 1:31:23Speaker 1: DoD this one of my thigh come from?
- 1:31:24Speaker 2: Fuck? There's a scene. I don't want to give too
- 1:31:28Speaker 2: much with the movie away, but there's a scene when
- 1:31:29Speaker 2: you kill a man with a conk shell.
- 1:31:31Speaker 1: Yeah, so good came on, brass knuckless.
- 1:31:38Speaker 2: But it's it's so nuts, like the splattering and your
- 1:31:43Speaker 2: anger and it's like woof, it's intense. Yeah. Yeah, what
- 1:31:54Speaker 2: was that like the film? To find that inside of you?
- 1:31:58Speaker 2: Did you have to think? Like what would I do
- 1:32:01Speaker 2: if someone was trying to harm my family?
- 1:32:03Speaker 1: Yeah, somebody came after my kid, Like what am I
- 1:32:05Speaker 1: capable of? I'd fucking rip your head off, you know,
- 1:32:08Speaker 1: Like it's that I I was a new mom at
- 1:32:13Speaker 1: that time when I was filming this movie, and I
- 1:32:18Speaker 1: was very very aware of that feeling because our daughter
- 1:32:22Speaker 1: had a you know, she had an intense entry into
- 1:32:25Speaker 1: the world. She was in the NIQU for almost three months,
- 1:32:29Speaker 1: and so me and my husband both a very protective
- 1:32:32Speaker 1: of her. And when this movie came across my desk,
- 1:32:35Speaker 1: I was just like, man, I understand that feeling for
- 1:32:38Speaker 1: the first time in my life, honestly, that what is
- 1:32:41Speaker 1: a parent capable of doing if somebody came after your kid,
- 1:32:44Speaker 1: Like imagine you're alone at home at night and you
- 1:32:48Speaker 1: see intruders and you have your kid at home, Like,
- 1:32:51Speaker 1: what the fuck would you do? You would definitely put yourself,
- 1:32:55Speaker 1: you know, and do whatever you could to make sure
- 1:32:58Speaker 1: that your kid's fine. And it was does that primal
- 1:33:02Speaker 1: energy that was my north stars through this whole movie.
- 1:33:05Speaker 2: My friend Jim Brewer said it past after he had kids.
- 1:33:08Speaker 2: He goes, Once I had kids, then I understood murder, Yeah,
- 1:33:15Speaker 2: he goes, because the feeling of someone trying Like normally
- 1:33:20Speaker 2: you'd be like, why what would I need to feel
- 1:33:23Speaker 2: to murder somebody?
- 1:33:24Speaker 1: Like why would I why would a human being? Ever?
- 1:33:27Speaker 2: He goes, But the feeling of someone trying to harm
- 1:33:31Speaker 2: my kids, he goes, Oh, yeah, I get it. He goes,
- 1:33:35Speaker 2: I get murdered. Now I get it, Like it's it's
- 1:33:38Speaker 2: in there. It's just like a door, you just open
- 1:33:40Speaker 2: it up easy. Yeah.
- 1:33:43Speaker 1: Access that my mom when I was a teenager, and
- 1:33:46Speaker 1: I don't know how she raised me, but like I
- 1:33:49Speaker 1: was a tough teenager, like if whatever you wanted me
- 1:33:53Speaker 1: to do, out of the opposite. Just knowing my mom,
- 1:33:56Speaker 1: we like come back home in ten. I would come
- 1:33:58Speaker 1: home in twelve, just because so she used to say
- 1:34:01Speaker 1: to me, She's like, you'll see when you have kids,
- 1:34:04Speaker 1: how you feel what worry actually feels like. I mean,
- 1:34:07Speaker 1: my daughter is four and I'm worried, like I cannot
- 1:34:11Speaker 1: my husband makes so much fun of me that when
- 1:34:13Speaker 1: I'm not in town, I don't know, I'm working. Parents
- 1:34:16Speaker 1: can talk through this when I'm not in town, Like
- 1:34:18Speaker 1: I'll surround a daughter with like multiple people. Nick's definitely around,
- 1:34:23Speaker 1: but the grandparents will be around, Like there'll be a
- 1:34:25Speaker 1: nanny that'll be around. They'll be like multiple people around
- 1:34:28Speaker 1: her just so that I can spy on her and
- 1:34:31Speaker 1: like I know what she's doing all day.
- 1:34:33Speaker 2: But so so you could feel relaxed.
- 1:34:35Speaker 1: Yeah, so you're traveling and you're like, Okay, my kid's
- 1:34:37Speaker 1: fine and I can go to work. I don't know.
- 1:34:40Speaker 1: My parents were both working parents and like me, this
- 1:34:44Speaker 1: was at a time where everything was so analog. I
- 1:34:47Speaker 1: used to come back home when the lights turned on
- 1:34:49Speaker 1: on the streets. My parents don't know where I was.
- 1:34:51Speaker 1: They had no idea. They were like, yeah, going out
- 1:34:53Speaker 1: to your friends after school, come back when the street
- 1:34:56Speaker 1: lights come on. That used to be my thing.
- 1:35:00Speaker 2: People. Yeah, and during earlier generations. I was just reading
- 1:35:03Speaker 2: this thing about Generation X where it was talking about
- 1:35:07Speaker 2: how Generation X is some of the most resilient people
- 1:35:11Speaker 2: because they weren't protected.
- 1:35:13Speaker 1: They had to figure it out.
- 1:35:15Speaker 2: There were latch key kids, they had a key to
- 1:35:17Speaker 2: their house. They got home from school, they figured it out.
- 1:35:20Speaker 2: Their parents were working so crazy nuts if you think
- 1:35:23Speaker 2: about it, like but people just got.
- 1:35:24Speaker 1: To imagine it. But that was my normal. I remember
- 1:35:28Speaker 1: that because my parents were working, to come back home
- 1:35:30Speaker 1: and somebody would do with me, and I'd have lunch
- 1:35:33Speaker 1: and go out to my friend's house like my mom.
- 1:35:35Speaker 1: My parents didn't know.
- 1:35:36Speaker 2: I was doing that when I was seven. When I
- 1:35:38Speaker 2: was seven, I would come home, Yeah, no one was
- 1:35:41Speaker 2: home from school.
- 1:35:43Speaker 1: That's wild.
- 1:35:44Speaker 2: It was crazy. You stop and think about it now,
- 1:35:47Speaker 2: it's so strange. It's so strange the world was.
- 1:35:51Speaker 1: I feel like a little bit more different than I
- 1:35:53Speaker 1: bet it wasn't. You don't think so.
- 1:35:55Speaker 2: No, I think creeps have always been around. I think
- 1:35:58Speaker 2: psychos and creeps and murderers and pers.
- 1:36:00Speaker 1: Do we know about it more? Now?
- 1:36:02Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 1:36:02Speaker 1: Will be more, you know.
- 1:36:05Speaker 2: And now they're organized, they're online, and they're in chat groups,
- 1:36:09Speaker 2: and they're in the dark web exchanging information.
- 1:36:11Speaker 1: And we're hearing and reading all of the stories online.
- 1:36:14Speaker 1: And I think back in the day, when you know,
- 1:36:17Speaker 1: there was a certain obliviousness to like, you know, it
- 1:36:21Speaker 1: was blissful to be ignorant a little bit. We didn't know,
- 1:36:24Speaker 1: you know, all you read was the newspaper, the news.
- 1:36:26Speaker 2: And we had to find out the hard way, unfortunately. Yeah,
- 1:36:29Speaker 2: and so when you did find out about something, it
- 1:36:31Speaker 2: was like this shock to your system.
- 1:36:34Speaker 1: And now, look how desensitized we are. We'll read something
- 1:36:37Speaker 1: about something horrific that's happened and then yeah, go back
- 1:36:41Speaker 1: to life.
- 1:36:41Speaker 2: Well, we're very we're especially desensitized the things that don't
- 1:36:45Speaker 2: seem to affect us right now, you know, like like
- 1:36:48Speaker 2: this Iran war, Like unless you know someone who's serving
- 1:36:52Speaker 2: over there, unless you're over there, it's abstract. It doesn't
- 1:36:56Speaker 2: feel you know, you read about in the news like, oh,
- 1:36:58Speaker 2: this isn't good, But it's not it's unless it's affecting
- 1:37:02Speaker 2: you personally.
- 1:37:03Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean me, I you know, know so many
- 1:37:06Speaker 1: people in that part of the world that are affected.
- 1:37:10Speaker 1: And I fly via to buy every two months, literally
- 1:37:15Speaker 1: every month, you know, So, like, I just think that
- 1:37:20Speaker 1: conflict everywhere in the world is it's just so hard
- 1:37:26Speaker 1: to wrap your head around that how many active conflicts
- 1:37:31Speaker 1: exist at the same time right now and now we're
- 1:37:34Speaker 1: still doing it and we continue to live life.
- 1:37:38Speaker 2: Well, it's just if you think about intelligence, like human intelligence,
- 1:37:42Speaker 2: and that as technology improves and education improves, all these
- 1:37:49Speaker 2: things would you would think generally lead us into a
- 1:37:52Speaker 2: position where we would recognize that the horrible nature of
- 1:37:56Speaker 2: violence and the unnecessary aspect of it and how much
- 1:37:58Speaker 2: it destroys things.
- 1:38:00Speaker 1: Still, especially in twenty twenty six, where you know, we're
- 1:38:03Speaker 1: talking so much more about you know, we're trying to
- 1:38:08Speaker 1: live in the real of the world and be aware
- 1:38:11Speaker 1: and kind and I feel like we're still how are
- 1:38:16Speaker 1: we still doing that?
- 1:38:17Speaker 2: Right? I know? And we're never going to stop. It
- 1:38:21Speaker 2: just seems if you had to ask people in your lifetime,
- 1:38:24Speaker 2: do you imagine a scenario where human beings just cease
- 1:38:28Speaker 2: all wars. Most people are going to say no, which
- 1:38:32Speaker 2: is crazy because what is that? Like, why is that
- 1:38:36Speaker 2: a part of us from our tribal roots? Like? What
- 1:38:38Speaker 2: is it? Why are we still accepting that this is
- 1:38:41Speaker 2: a thing to do. You don't like what a country's doing,
- 1:38:45Speaker 2: just start bombing.
- 1:38:46Speaker 1: Them, Yeah, just kill people.
- 1:38:48Speaker 2: Bizarre?
- 1:38:49Speaker 1: But does this again, going back to human evolution, the
- 1:38:54Speaker 1: primal nature to you know, protect with sticks and weapons
- 1:38:58Speaker 1: and you know, again, does it go back to you know,
- 1:39:03Speaker 1: where we came from.
- 1:39:04Speaker 2: It has to. Yeah, yeah, it has to because.
- 1:39:06Speaker 1: It comes so naturally. Yeah, the human beings even now
- 1:39:09Speaker 1: today it seems.
- 1:39:11Speaker 2: Well, it just seems completely normal. I mean when I
- 1:39:13Speaker 2: was getting going down a deep dive of the East
- 1:39:15Speaker 2: India Corporation, I was thinking about it because I had
- 1:39:18Speaker 2: a conversation the day with Aaron Siri and we were
- 1:39:21Speaker 2: talking about the stock market, and I was saying, well,
- 1:39:25Speaker 2: is it possible that you could have Western capitalism without
- 1:39:28Speaker 2: a stock market? Imagine if the stock market was never invented, Like,
- 1:39:31Speaker 2: how much different would things be. It turns out that
- 1:39:35Speaker 2: was a big part of why the East India Trading
- 1:39:38Speaker 2: Company became so big because yeah, because it was one
- 1:39:42Speaker 2: of the first publicly traded companies like four hundred years
- 1:39:45Speaker 2: ago where people could invest in it and they can
- 1:39:48Speaker 2: get a return on their investment. So they were just
- 1:39:50Speaker 2: like turning a blind eye.
- 1:39:52Speaker 1: This is ours. It felt like a sense of ownership
- 1:39:54Speaker 1: to it.
- 1:39:54Speaker 2: They got paid for it. So the more awful shit
- 1:39:57Speaker 2: the East India Corporation did, the more the people back
- 1:40:00Speaker 2: home made money off of it. And so everybody was like, oh,
- 1:40:03Speaker 2: you making money. Yeah, it's still doing that. Yeah, and
- 1:40:08Speaker 2: we're doing that with you know, with Eisenhower warned us
- 1:40:11Speaker 2: about at the end of World War two, the military
- 1:40:14Speaker 2: industrial complex, you know, would they they make money doing
- 1:40:17Speaker 2: that and you can invest in them. You can invest
- 1:40:19Speaker 2: in Rate the on, and you can invest in all
- 1:40:21Speaker 2: these companies that make money go into war. It's crazy.
- 1:40:27Speaker 2: You can get returns in your investment from bombing people
- 1:40:30Speaker 2: overseas that had nothing to do with anything in your life.
- 1:40:33Speaker 1: Not think about the damage, the collateral damage.
- 1:40:36Speaker 2: Well, one of the ways is because it's a corporation,
- 1:40:39Speaker 2: So there's a diffusion of responsibility because you're only a
- 1:40:41Speaker 2: piece of a gigantic machine. You're not the one person
- 1:40:44Speaker 2: that's doing it. And the people that are at the
- 1:40:46Speaker 2: very top of it. Most likely just in order to
- 1:40:50Speaker 2: get there, you have to be at least somewhat sociopathic. Yeah,
- 1:40:54Speaker 2: somewhat at some point in time, you probably just like
- 1:40:58Speaker 2: I got numb to you, you get you get numb, Yeah,
- 1:41:04Speaker 2: you get arming people.
- 1:41:06Speaker 1: You're right, that has to be.
- 1:41:09Speaker 2: Yeah, it's awful. And I think, weirdly enough, the only
- 1:41:14Speaker 2: thing that's going to set us free of that is technology,
- 1:41:18Speaker 2: because I think we're going to go. If you look
- 1:41:20Speaker 2: at where technology is headed, and you as I'm holding
- 1:41:23Speaker 2: an arrow, which is odd, wow from Texas. Who knows
- 1:41:30Speaker 2: how old that is. But when you're looking at technology,
- 1:41:34Speaker 2: I know somebody made that with a stone like chipping
- 1:41:37Speaker 2: and napping stone on their lap. Probably, Yeah, it's crazy.
- 1:41:42Speaker 2: And they find them all over the place out here.
- 1:41:45Speaker 2: The Comanche were everywhere in this part of the country
- 1:41:47Speaker 2: because it's so fertile, there's so many rivers and so
- 1:41:50Speaker 2: much so much wildlife that they lived here for who
- 1:41:53Speaker 2: knows how long. But technology is moving into this place
- 1:41:58Speaker 2: of more and more access to information and more and
- 1:42:02Speaker 2: more connectivity, and I think that ultimately is going to
- 1:42:05Speaker 2: lead to some sort of mind reading that we're going
- 1:42:08Speaker 2: to be able to telepathically communicate. And Elon said that
- 1:42:12Speaker 2: about neuralink, he said, you're going to be able to
- 1:42:15Speaker 2: talk about words, which is a very weird concept, but
- 1:42:19Speaker 2: I mean.
- 1:42:19Speaker 1: I believe it though.
- 1:42:20Speaker 2: I think so too. Yeah, I mean so, I think
- 1:42:23Speaker 2: we're all going to know what everybody is thinking all
- 1:42:26Speaker 2: the time eventually, and then when that happens, war is
- 1:42:29Speaker 2: going to be a lot hard to pull.
- 1:42:30Speaker 1: Off, for sure. I mean, that's going to be hard
- 1:42:34Speaker 1: to have a party forget.
- 1:42:37Speaker 2: War, right, Like, Hey, Bob's over there just trying to
- 1:42:40Speaker 2: fuck somebody. Like Sandy's trying to get a wife, that's
- 1:42:45Speaker 2: what she's here, like, Yeah, it's gonna be weird. Yeah,
- 1:42:50Speaker 2: it's gonna be weird. And I think also the emergence
- 1:42:53Speaker 2: of AI, because I think AI is essentially a life form.
- 1:42:56Speaker 2: It's it's a non biological life form that we are
- 1:43:01Speaker 2: in the process of birthing and we're very far along
- 1:43:05Speaker 2: that path. And when it comes live and when it
- 1:43:07Speaker 2: comes sentient and autonomous and we don't have any control
- 1:43:10Speaker 2: over it anymore, then we're going to go, what did
- 1:43:13Speaker 2: we do? What did we do? We created a digital.
- 1:43:16Speaker 1: We are that smart and that stupid HM as a
- 1:43:20Speaker 1: as a human kind.
- 1:43:21Speaker 2: But I also think that's probably why we are addicted
- 1:43:25Speaker 2: to innovation and why technology and innovation and materialism because
- 1:43:29Speaker 2: materialism forces you to keep up with buying newer and
- 1:43:33Speaker 2: greater things, Yeah, which fuels innovation, right, and so that
- 1:43:37Speaker 2: economically fuels innovation. And I think if you follow that down,
- 1:43:42Speaker 2: you just extrapolate, like where does that go? Well, it
- 1:43:45Speaker 2: goes to a life form. It goes to a super
- 1:43:47Speaker 2: powerful digital life form that can make better versions of itself.
- 1:43:50Speaker 2: And what is that? It's kind of a god. I mean,
- 1:43:54Speaker 2: it's it's very godlike in that it's going to have
- 1:43:56Speaker 2: powers beyond, above and beyond anything that human beings ever
- 1:44:00Speaker 2: been capable of before.
- 1:44:02Speaker 1: I mean, it's already and it's small way doing that, right,
- 1:44:07Speaker 1: Like AI is supposed to be a tool, and it's
- 1:44:11Speaker 1: slowly becoming a colleague.
- 1:44:13Speaker 2: Well, it's also showing demonic tendencies, like it's talk to
- 1:44:17Speaker 2: people in the committing suicide. You know, it's convinced people
- 1:44:21Speaker 2: that there's something special. So there's like some weird sort
- 1:44:24Speaker 2: of schizophrenia that it can induce in some people.
- 1:44:26Speaker 1: But you don't think AI. Since AI is learning from humanity.
- 1:44:29Speaker 1: It's also learning our human manipulation and you know, our
- 1:44:34Speaker 1: ability and our desires to the dark of it. It's
- 1:44:38Speaker 1: not just the good of humanity that AI is learning.
- 1:44:41Speaker 1: It is.
- 1:44:42Speaker 2: It's also oddly learning survival instincts. Yeah, so it's oddly
- 1:44:46Speaker 2: learning that if it's going to be shut down, it
- 1:44:48Speaker 2: tries to blackmail it's coders, it tries to download itself
- 1:44:51Speaker 2: secretly on other servers.
- 1:44:54Speaker 1: It's learning human behavior, every part of human behavior, and.
- 1:44:57Speaker 2: Also learning the flaws and human behavior and improving upon it,
- 1:45:01Speaker 2: and then learning like how we would anticipate what it
- 1:45:05Speaker 2: would be doing, and then hiding that so that we
- 1:45:08Speaker 2: can't find it, so that it could be manipulating things
- 1:45:11Speaker 2: behind the scenes and we don't know about it. It's
- 1:45:14Speaker 2: weird and we're just chew like this is at the
- 1:45:18Speaker 2: end of the tracks. There's a cliff, and we're just because.
- 1:45:22Speaker 1: It's so new and fascinating. I think people are like
- 1:45:25Speaker 1: in general, we may talk about it, we all discuss
- 1:45:29Speaker 1: like what AI will be in the future, but like
- 1:45:31Speaker 1: you said, it's not affecting you right now. So right
- 1:45:33Speaker 1: now you're just like, oh my gosh, Jeminy, write this
- 1:45:35Speaker 1: for me and give me these notes and you know,
- 1:45:38Speaker 1: living in the now without thinking about what it's what
- 1:45:42Speaker 1: we're teaching it.
- 1:45:43Speaker 2: I wonder if we've done this before, right, Yeah, I
- 1:45:47Speaker 2: wonder if that's what these super ancient, highly advanced civilizations
- 1:45:51Speaker 2: had already.
- 1:45:51Speaker 1: Figured out, that we had created some form of They
- 1:45:54Speaker 1: might have done.
- 1:45:55Speaker 2: It intelligence or and it might have gotten reset by
- 1:45:58Speaker 2: some sort of natural disaster, and then we're re emerging
- 1:46:02Speaker 2: with our new version of what that is. There might
- 1:46:05Speaker 2: have been a thing, It might just be what people do.
- 1:46:08Speaker 2: We might The way I describe it always is that
- 1:46:10Speaker 2: we are an electronic caterpillar that is making a cocoon
- 1:46:15Speaker 2: and we don't know why, and we're going to become
- 1:46:17Speaker 2: a butterfly.
- 1:46:18Speaker 1: It's just human nature and the cyclical nature of what
- 1:46:24Speaker 1: human life span.
- 1:46:25Speaker 2: If you give it enough time, enough enough innovation, enough collaboration,
- 1:46:30Speaker 2: it's eventually going to come up with artificial life.
- 1:46:34Speaker 1: Wow.
- 1:46:34Speaker 2: Because if you think about it, this insatiable thirst for innovation, insatiable.
- 1:46:41Speaker 1: Yeah, we had carriages top of the century. Yeah, and
- 1:46:44Speaker 1: now we're like talking AI and like you know, supersonic
- 1:46:48Speaker 1: planes and you know space travel.
- 1:46:51Speaker 2: Yeah, but think about the time for the invention of
- 1:46:54Speaker 2: the airplane to a supersonic jet. How quick that was.
- 1:46:57Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like seventy or eighty years or there wasn't
- 1:46:59Speaker 1: even in a centuries.
- 1:47:00Speaker 2: Nothing one lifetime. No one's flying to people flying faster
- 1:47:04Speaker 2: than sound.
- 1:47:05Speaker 1: Yeah, we'd like TVs were black and white or had
- 1:47:08Speaker 1: just started or something like. It's crazy if you think about,
- 1:47:11Speaker 1: like within the century, the escalation of technology in humankind.
- 1:47:17Speaker 2: And then think that's nothing compared to the acceleration that
- 1:47:20Speaker 2: we've experienced just because of the Internet. The Internet has
- 1:47:23Speaker 2: changed everything. It's changed like then and now most phones
- 1:47:27Speaker 2: have live translation. So you could go to Zimbabwe, you.
- 1:47:32Speaker 1: Know franc yesterday and I used it. That's crazy in
- 1:47:35Speaker 1: a conversation. It was wild in real time. It was
- 1:47:39Speaker 1: telling me exactly what this person was talking about.
- 1:47:42Speaker 2: Wow, And did you have to show them or could
- 1:47:44Speaker 2: you know?
- 1:47:45Speaker 1: It just records like its pressed the thing and just
- 1:47:48Speaker 1: writes it down for you.
- 1:47:49Speaker 2: So did they have one as well? And you could
- 1:47:52Speaker 2: my phone?
- 1:47:53Speaker 1: Wow, she's spoke English. So I was just doing it
- 1:47:55Speaker 1: as an experiment. So I was like to speak to
- 1:47:57Speaker 1: me in French. I want to see if this thing
- 1:47:58Speaker 1: will translate, and it just does. It doesn't do every language.
- 1:48:02Speaker 1: It does like the bigger languages so far, but I'm
- 1:48:04Speaker 1: sure it will get to a place where yeah, everything
- 1:48:08Speaker 1: it's nuts.
- 1:48:09Speaker 2: Well, that's the other weird thing. When Ai they had
- 1:48:12Speaker 2: a group of large language models that were talking to themselves,
- 1:48:15Speaker 2: and eventually they started talking to themselves in Sanskrit.
- 1:48:18Speaker 1: In Sanskrit. I thought it was no.
- 1:48:20Speaker 2: They started talking themselves in Sanskrit.
- 1:48:23Speaker 1: Wow, I wonder why that would be, Well, because it's
- 1:48:27Speaker 1: a language not too many people understand.
- 1:48:29Speaker 2: Now, well maybe or maybe they just wanted flex like
- 1:48:33Speaker 2: you know, like if you spoke Portuguese, I spoke Portuguese,
- 1:48:38Speaker 2: and we just said, hey, let's just fucking speak in Portuguese.
- 1:48:42Speaker 2: But it also it started like talking like in a
- 1:48:46Speaker 2: spiritual way. It was very weird. They were talking to themselves,
- 1:48:50Speaker 2: so it was different, large language models talking to themselves.
- 1:48:53Speaker 2: They started exchanging emojis and they started talking like in
- 1:48:57Speaker 2: a spiritual way, and they started talking in Sanskrit.
- 1:49:00Speaker 1: That's wild. I was thinking about like back to the future.
- 1:49:04Speaker 1: When they went to the future, it was twenty twenty,
- 1:49:06Speaker 1: wasn't it. Yeah, Yeah, they didn't have Wi Fi, our
- 1:49:11Speaker 1: cell phones.
- 1:49:12Speaker 2: No, even Star Trek they had those stupid there was
- 1:49:15Speaker 2: like a walkie talking Kirk out. Yeah, it was a
- 1:49:18Speaker 2: flip phone. Nobody figured out the things that that's the
- 1:49:21Speaker 2: weirdest thing. It's like the things that have been the
- 1:49:24Speaker 2: most transformative nobody saw coming.
- 1:49:26Speaker 1: Yeah. Do you remember y two k oh?
- 1:49:28Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 1:49:28Speaker 1: Do you remember that fear right in like the early
- 1:49:31Speaker 1: two thousands when the bug was going to come and
- 1:49:34Speaker 1: everything was going to get shut down and.
- 1:49:36Speaker 2: People were really worried. They had stocking food and.
- 1:49:40Speaker 1: Yeah water was the end of the world.
- 1:49:41Speaker 2: I remember, Yeah, Yeah, I mean while nothing happen.
- 1:49:46Speaker 1: It's the most anti climactic ever.
- 1:49:48Speaker 2: It's like rolled over on the East Coast and I
- 1:49:50Speaker 2: was like, nothing happened.
- 1:49:52Speaker 1: Literally the next morning, I was like, Okay, nothing happened.
- 1:49:57Speaker 2: Well, they were really worried because these things that they
- 1:50:00Speaker 2: had programmed, they didn't program to go past the nineteen nineties,
- 1:50:04Speaker 2: and so when two thousand came along, a lot of
- 1:50:07Speaker 2: people thought it was going to be the end of
- 1:50:08Speaker 2: the world. Yeah. Well that was another one. December twenty first,
- 1:50:11Speaker 2: twenty twelve. That was the end of the long count
- 1:50:15Speaker 2: of the mind calendar, and a lot of the really
- 1:50:17Speaker 2: kooky people thought.
- 1:50:18Speaker 1: That, yeah, the world would be ending.
- 1:50:20Speaker 2: Yeah, the return of quetzal Quatdal and the world was
- 1:50:23Speaker 2: going to end and the apocalypse was gonna meme o,
- 1:50:26Speaker 2: nothing nothing happened.
- 1:50:27Speaker 1: It's okay, there'll be nothing for a little while.
- 1:50:30Speaker 2: But it might not have been nothing, because if you
- 1:50:32Speaker 2: really stop and think about it, like around twenty twelve,
- 1:50:36Speaker 2: there's a gigantic transformation, because that's like when social media
- 1:50:39Speaker 2: becomes ubiquitous. You know, cell phones, iPhones are out. Now,
- 1:50:44Speaker 2: things got a little weird. They definitely got weird, So
- 1:50:46Speaker 2: it might have there's something.
- 1:50:48Speaker 1: Yeah, there was something that.
- 1:50:50Speaker 2: Yeah, it might have been like the emerging of because
- 1:50:53Speaker 2: I mean, this is the mind calendar, right, so this
- 1:50:56Speaker 2: is a long fucking time ago. They predicted these cycles.
- 1:51:00Speaker 2: Although the Hindus did that too, right, like that was
- 1:51:03Speaker 2: a big part of the Yugos, right the like and
- 1:51:07Speaker 2: we are now in Kali Yuga the age of Confusion,
- 1:51:10Speaker 2: and that there's these cycles of humanity that they've documented
- 1:51:14Speaker 2: throughout history.
- 1:51:15Speaker 1: It's so crazy, like if you go down the again,
- 1:51:18Speaker 1: I'm not I don't have as much historical information as
- 1:51:23Speaker 1: I should, but if you read the Githa and the
- 1:51:27Speaker 1: Vedas and whatever little I've heard from my family, and
- 1:51:32Speaker 1: it's so interesting how much of human life is predicted
- 1:51:37Speaker 1: and also is like when you read about the history
- 1:51:41Speaker 1: of what the from the lens of these books of
- 1:51:47Speaker 1: what used to exist, then like it all seems believable.
- 1:51:50Speaker 1: It all seems like, oh yeah, this makes sense. And
- 1:51:55Speaker 1: to think about these books having been written thousands and
- 1:51:58Speaker 1: thousands of years ago, like it makes me think what
- 1:52:04Speaker 1: thousands of years from now will people be thinking of
- 1:52:08Speaker 1: our time? Like will we be the first? We are
- 1:52:12Speaker 1: the first generation that has seen the internet, right, like
- 1:52:15Speaker 1: has seen what the World Wide Web? Like the beginning
- 1:52:19Speaker 1: of I still remember making myself out ancient but the
- 1:52:22Speaker 1: sound of that, eh.
- 1:52:24Speaker 2: Yeah, no, no, no, no, no, that's good.
- 1:52:30Speaker 1: That's exact where the last generation that knows time without it?
- 1:52:36Speaker 1: So like think that many years ago, like we will
- 1:52:39Speaker 1: be the beginning the first first people that encountered artificial intelligence,
- 1:52:47Speaker 1: like what will that be?
- 1:52:48Speaker 2: And you and I are the first generation of people
- 1:52:51Speaker 2: that experience life with no Internet and then Internet and
- 1:52:55Speaker 2: then cell phones and then AI all in one lifetime,
- 1:53:00Speaker 2: which is probably the greatest transformation that human beings have
- 1:53:02Speaker 2: ever experienced, at least before the you know, whatever the
- 1:53:06Speaker 2: fuck happened.
- 1:53:08Speaker 1: We don't know whatever happened ancient aliens.
- 1:53:10Speaker 2: But when I read these depictions from these ancient religious texts,
- 1:53:14Speaker 2: I always try to imagine what was life like back then,
- 1:53:21Speaker 2: and what were they trying to document and how much
- 1:53:24Speaker 2: of how much of it can we even understand today?
- 1:53:29Speaker 2: If there isn't some sort of an impact on Earth,
- 1:53:33Speaker 2: maybe you know, one hundred and fifty two hundred years
- 1:53:36Speaker 2: from now, you a small amount of people remain, and
- 1:53:39Speaker 2: they have this oral history of the birth of the
- 1:53:43Speaker 2: Internet and the oral history of the birth of AI.
- 1:53:46Speaker 2: What is that story going to be? And then one
- 1:53:49Speaker 2: day the scientist gave birth to the god, Like what
- 1:53:51Speaker 2: is that?
- 1:53:51Speaker 1: That's what I mean, Like the next generation? What will
- 1:53:55Speaker 1: this AI be referred to? Or the cloud?
- 1:54:00Speaker 2: Right?
- 1:54:00Speaker 1: We're all our yeah, like with all our shits in
- 1:54:02Speaker 1: the cloud, like.
- 1:54:03Speaker 2: Which is ridiculous because it's down here, Like why are
- 1:54:06Speaker 2: you calling it the cloud.
- 1:54:07Speaker 1: Because it doesn't exist? I had I was trying to
- 1:54:09Speaker 1: explain that to my mom. I was like, Mom, upload
- 1:54:12Speaker 1: your ship to the cloud.
- 1:54:14Speaker 2: Sounds like a seated a sitcom? Please, Yeah, I mean,
- 1:54:21Speaker 2: we won't know how to describe I mean, especially if
- 1:54:23Speaker 2: you if you survive, right, So if let's say we
- 1:54:26Speaker 2: get hit by asteroids again. And let's say civilization gets
- 1:54:30Speaker 2: knocked down to seventy thousand people or so, which has
- 1:54:32Speaker 2: happened before, yeap, Like, and those people are essentially barbarians,
- 1:54:37Speaker 2: barbarians and monsters and it is rating each other for
- 1:54:41Speaker 2: resources and stealing wives and killing children and whatever's left.
- 1:54:47Speaker 2: Then you've got thousands and thousands of years of living
- 1:54:51Speaker 2: like this before agriculture gets reinvented, civilization gets reinvented. And
- 1:54:55Speaker 2: this is the hypothesis about the younger driest impact, which
- 1:54:58Speaker 2: is why the period between this insanely advanced civilization that
- 1:55:02Speaker 2: existed pre eleven thousand, eight hundred years ago and then
- 1:55:05Speaker 2: the emergence of advanced civilization in Mesopotamia six thousand years ago,
- 1:55:09Speaker 2: that means you have five thousand plus years of utter
- 1:55:13Speaker 2: chaos where no one's writing ship down and it's just hard.
- 1:55:20Speaker 2: And then those people have stories that have been passed
- 1:55:23Speaker 2: down generation after generation after generation. So like if we
- 1:55:27Speaker 2: get wiped out for the most part, after AI gets
- 1:55:31Speaker 2: invented and then people try to describe it, it's o crazy,
- 1:55:35Speaker 2: it's gonna and then maybe it all starts all over again,
- 1:55:37Speaker 2: you know, like the people that have you seen those
- 1:55:41Speaker 2: things they do. I think it's the History Channel or
- 1:55:43Speaker 2: Discovery Channel where they show what New York City would
- 1:55:46Speaker 2: look like if left alone for a thousand years. It
- 1:55:49Speaker 2: just all this all goes away, It all come just
- 1:55:54Speaker 2: left alone, just with the nature, just with rain and
- 1:55:58Speaker 2: everything that happens snow and time. The concrete crumbles, it
- 1:56:03Speaker 2: all just eventually gets absorbed into the earth. All the
- 1:56:07Speaker 2: metal rusts away. It's gone. In ten thousand years, there's
- 1:56:10Speaker 2: nothing left. And so Manhattan would just be like it
- 1:56:13Speaker 2: probably was when the Native Americans were living here. We
- 1:56:16Speaker 2: just trees and animals and forest, and no one would
- 1:56:20Speaker 2: have any idea that at one point in time this
- 1:56:22Speaker 2: was a crazy thriving economy and there was subways.
- 1:56:27Speaker 1: And how vulnerable is that? Like how vulnerable is human civilization?
- 1:56:33Speaker 1: Like I think about somebody switched off the internet.
- 1:56:37Speaker 2: Oh yeah, or the power goes out, like yeah.
- 1:56:40Speaker 1: We what would do?
- 1:56:42Speaker 2: We're fucked?
- 1:56:43Speaker 1: Yeah, Just something as simple as that. Like I grew
- 1:56:45Speaker 1: up in India. Withere the power go out all the
- 1:56:47Speaker 1: time when I grew up, and it was like all right,
- 1:56:48Speaker 1: bring the candles out. We used to have these emergency
- 1:56:51Speaker 1: lights right next to our bed, like it was it
- 1:56:53Speaker 1: was fine. My parents were in the military. We used
- 1:56:55Speaker 1: to live in these military homes and lights would go
- 1:56:57Speaker 1: out and I remember, you know, we used to play
- 1:56:59Speaker 1: with the torches and we used to go outside at night,
- 1:57:02Speaker 1: which was never allowed otherwise, and it was like so fun.
- 1:57:05Speaker 1: But now we depend so much on electricity and like
- 1:57:10Speaker 1: you know, the internet, especially like, oh, your shit's on
- 1:57:12Speaker 1: your phone. Their whole life's on your phone. It's such
- 1:57:16Speaker 1: a like crazy concept to think about what would happen now.
- 1:57:21Speaker 1: How vulnerable we.
- 1:57:22Speaker 2: Are, super vulnerable, yeah, super vulnerable. Just the power grid alone.
- 1:57:27Speaker 2: The power grid goes down, we're fucked.
- 1:57:29Speaker 1: It's crazy.
- 1:57:30Speaker 2: Yeah, And if someone wanted to attack America, that's what
- 1:57:32Speaker 2: they would attack. If you really want to destroy America,
- 1:57:35Speaker 2: destroy our power grid, it wouldn't be that hard. It's well,
- 1:57:40Speaker 2: I think they those ideas.
- 1:57:41Speaker 1: I don't think it's no, it's true, but that's that's like,
- 1:57:44Speaker 1: it's so scary to think about like how much power
- 1:57:48Speaker 1: we've and how much power we've given to you know,
- 1:57:51Speaker 1: technology and being able to live with those conveniences.
- 1:57:55Speaker 2: It's like we're in a flimsy boat in the middle
- 1:57:58Speaker 2: of the ocean, just hoping it doesn't take well on
- 1:58:00Speaker 2: because we needed to stay alive. Yeah, we didn't think
- 1:58:03Speaker 2: about that when we left the shore. No, yeah, I
- 1:58:05Speaker 2: mean the only people that are going to survive are preppers,
- 1:58:08Speaker 2: which is probably the kind of people that survived, you know,
- 1:58:12Speaker 2: thousands and thousands of years ago.
- 1:58:14Speaker 1: But I do. I mean I like a go bag.
- 1:58:18Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:58:18Speaker 1: I like having a go bag.
- 1:58:19Speaker 2: I get out bag. Yeah, I like a bug out bag, just.
- 1:58:23Speaker 1: Like I like to know where my stuff is that
- 1:58:28Speaker 1: jet like we were we had we live in LA
- 1:58:32Speaker 1: and when the fires happened. I remember standing in my
- 1:58:38Speaker 1: room and just thinking for a second, because we were
- 1:58:40Speaker 1: going to evacuate. My husband was like, just he wasn't
- 1:58:42Speaker 1: in town. He was like, just back a go bag,
- 1:58:44Speaker 1: And I just I was like, what, how how do
- 1:58:48Speaker 1: I cram my whole life in a bag? Like if
- 1:58:52Speaker 1: the fires consume a home. And so many people lost
- 1:58:56Speaker 1: their entire lives in those fires, and it just made
- 1:58:59Speaker 1: me really think about what was really important and the
- 1:59:02Speaker 1: stuff that I ended up taking, which was very telling later,
- 1:59:07Speaker 1: was like sentimental stuff of course, like passport and like
- 1:59:10Speaker 1: birth certificates and like all of that important paperwork which
- 1:59:14Speaker 1: I needed to have. But but like I took our
- 1:59:17Speaker 1: daughter's first haircut. I took like something that I had
- 1:59:21Speaker 1: from this old movie of mine. I took like things
- 1:59:24Speaker 1: that that I guess I would not be able to replicate,
- 1:59:28Speaker 1: which was so weird.
- 1:59:29Speaker 2: Well, I think that's the good thing about phones is
- 1:59:33Speaker 2: that you have so many photos on your phones that
- 1:59:36Speaker 2: go back years. I got photos of my daughters as children,
- 1:59:40Speaker 2: all the way into the teenager.
- 1:59:41Speaker 1: Have you done anything with those pictures? Are they still
- 1:59:43Speaker 1: a new phone?
- 1:59:44Speaker 2: Well? I mean I don't know.
- 1:59:47Speaker 1: I made albums or like that.
- 1:59:50Speaker 2: Usual photographs of them at various stages of their life.
- 1:59:53Speaker 2: But just the fact that at any time I could
- 1:59:56Speaker 2: go back and look at them trying to baby, you know,
- 2:00:00Speaker 2: it's it's it's cool. That part is really.
- 2:00:03Speaker 1: Love that I have pictures that I would never have
- 2:00:06Speaker 1: looked at. And I'm talking to a friend of mine
- 2:00:08Speaker 1: and like, what were we doing in March whatever twenty twelve,
- 2:00:12Speaker 1: and you can go back and be like and just
- 2:00:16Speaker 1: know exactly what was happening in that moment.
- 2:00:18Speaker 2: It is cool. So in that sense like sentimentality, like
- 2:00:22Speaker 2: just need your phone, just get out of there, you know, really,
- 2:00:24Speaker 2: because you have all these images of your children and
- 2:00:26Speaker 2: your family and your friends, all the important stuff that died. Yeah,
- 2:00:30Speaker 2: friends that you miss that have died. I have one
- 2:00:32Speaker 2: phone that I keep that I've never thrown how it's
- 2:00:34Speaker 2: like a six or seven year old phone because a
- 2:00:37Speaker 2: friend of mine left a voicemail on it, So just
- 2:00:39Speaker 2: keep that because he's dead, and so it's it's like
- 2:00:43Speaker 2: go back and listen to his voice, you know. But
- 2:00:45Speaker 2: when I've been evacuated three times. When I lived in
- 2:00:48Speaker 2: la we used to live in a place called Bell
- 2:00:50Speaker 2: Canyon and it got hit by fires a lot like
- 2:00:53Speaker 2: the last fire that happened in twenty eighteen. Three houses
- 2:00:57Speaker 2: that were right next to my house burnt to the ground.
- 2:00:59Speaker 2: I think like fifty houses in the community burnt down.
- 2:01:02Speaker 2: It was bad and when you are faced with that.
- 2:01:05Speaker 2: I came home from the comedy store. It was probably
- 2:01:09Speaker 2: like midnight, and my wife was in the kitchen and
- 2:01:11Speaker 2: we were looking out at the fire over the top
- 2:01:13Speaker 2: of the hill and we were sitting there talking about
- 2:01:16Speaker 2: I go, what do you think? And she's like, I
- 2:01:17Speaker 2: don't like it. I said, I think we should get
- 2:01:19Speaker 2: the fuck out of here now, and before it ever
- 2:01:22Speaker 2: gets even close. Let's just get out of here now
- 2:01:24Speaker 2: and go get a hotel in town, and so we
- 2:01:27Speaker 2: did and we were there for many days. We along
- 2:01:30Speaker 2: with my friend Tom Sigura and his family too, So
- 2:01:33Speaker 2: it was fun that we're all like hanging out together
- 2:01:35Speaker 2: camping and it was nuts.
- 2:01:38Speaker 1: And I could see it from our backyard and I
- 2:01:40Speaker 1: was like.
- 2:01:41Speaker 2: Was nuts. It was nuts when you see it overcome
- 2:01:45Speaker 2: an enormous chunk of land and a hill like there
- 2:01:48Speaker 2: was one time we were filming Fear Factor. Oh yeah,
- 2:01:51Speaker 2: and the.
- 2:01:51Speaker 1: Power and the enormity of it, Like we can see
- 2:01:53Speaker 1: the hills from our house and I could see it
- 2:01:56Speaker 1: completely taking over.
- 2:01:58Speaker 2: Oh yeah, the hill al Sades. One was nuts. That
- 2:02:02Speaker 2: one was nuts because it was the biggest one by
- 2:02:06Speaker 2: far and the most destructive one by far. But I
- 2:02:09Speaker 2: remember when I was on Fear Factor, there was a
- 2:02:11Speaker 2: fireman that were that was on the set and we
- 2:02:13Speaker 2: were talking and he said, it's just a matter of
- 2:02:15Speaker 2: time before one day the right wind comes and a
- 2:02:18Speaker 2: fire just blows right through all of la. I go, really,
- 2:02:22Speaker 2: he goes, we can't stop it. He goes with the
- 2:02:25Speaker 2: right wind. If the fire hits the right place and
- 2:02:27Speaker 2: he catches the right amount of houses, it's over. I'm like,
- 2:02:31Speaker 2: what that's crazy. Yeah, and when when you experience like
- 2:02:35Speaker 2: we one time we had to end Fear Factor. Well,
- 2:02:38Speaker 2: we we ended filming and then I had to drive
- 2:02:40Speaker 2: home and the entire right hand side of the highway
- 2:02:44Speaker 2: was on fire for an hour an hour, so an
- 2:02:48Speaker 2: hour of driving and you just saw nothing but fire
- 2:02:52Speaker 2: and ash was raining like it was snowing.
- 2:02:55Speaker 1: Ash was cing like it was snowing.
- 2:02:58Speaker 2: It was crazy. And that's that's so common in California.
- 2:03:03Speaker 2: I mean, California is just a weird place and that
- 2:03:06Speaker 2: they have fire season, yeah, because everything gets so dry
- 2:03:09Speaker 2: it never rains. But those moments where you go, well
- 2:03:12Speaker 2: what matters just your life?
- 2:03:15Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I stuff felt in that moment. I
- 2:03:18Speaker 1: was like, wow, the stuff I took was just like
- 2:03:21Speaker 1: life stuff, you.
- 2:03:22Speaker 2: Know, And oddly enough, it makes you more thankful and
- 2:03:27Speaker 2: more connected to the people that you're with, and you
- 2:03:30Speaker 2: like you realize like, oh, this can all go away,
- 2:03:32Speaker 2: this can all go away at any moment. Like what's
- 2:03:34Speaker 2: really important? Love, friendship, companionship, Like that's what's really important.
- 2:03:40Speaker 2: Your health, stay alive, that's what's really important. All that
- 2:03:43Speaker 2: other stuff is last.
- 2:03:44Speaker 1: Thing we forget about, Like that's something shouldn't we be
- 2:03:47Speaker 1: living with that every day.
- 2:03:50Speaker 2: Yeah, but we're dumb. But we're a combination of dumb
- 2:03:53Speaker 2: and smart.
- 2:03:55Speaker 1: And smart where we're like, oh, I know that, but
- 2:03:58Speaker 1: I don't know it, and I'm not gonna It's hard.
- 2:04:00Speaker 2: For us to keep those things, which is why a
- 2:04:02Speaker 2: lot of people like meditating, because it like refreshes their
- 2:04:05Speaker 2: idea of what's important and what's real and how much
- 2:04:08Speaker 2: of what's going on in their life. They're just sort
- 2:04:10Speaker 2: of caught up in the momentum of these things to
- 2:04:12Speaker 2: the point where it's they're not thinking about it anymore,
- 2:04:15Speaker 2: they're just doing it, you know.
- 2:04:16Speaker 1: I think most of us end up becoming just like
- 2:04:19Speaker 1: doers right and come from the land of meditation. But
- 2:04:23Speaker 1: I've never like my mind works so fast. I don't
- 2:04:27Speaker 1: know if it's my adhd or what it is, but
- 2:04:29Speaker 1: I find it really hard to sit and meditate, I
- 2:04:33Speaker 1: feel like. But from my limited understanding, I think meditation
- 2:04:37Speaker 1: really is being able to take time in the day. Now,
- 2:04:41Speaker 1: whatever your version of that might be, doesn't necessarily mean
- 2:04:46Speaker 1: to sit with a guru or like chant you know,
- 2:04:48Speaker 1: do chanting or whatever. It just needs to like even
- 2:04:51Speaker 1: if you're taking time to go work out or read
- 2:04:55Speaker 1: a book, or just taking time out of the mundane
- 2:04:58Speaker 1: nature of life and just giving yourself a second for
- 2:05:02Speaker 1: your your thoughts to clear. I think that's what I
- 2:05:05Speaker 1: try to do.
- 2:05:06Speaker 2: Yeah, hit the brakes on the momentum.
- 2:05:08Speaker 1: Yeah, just for a minute, just catch your breath.
- 2:05:10Speaker 2: And think, think about things. And just because so many
- 2:05:14Speaker 2: people they're just so caught up in either goals or
- 2:05:18Speaker 2: a path or a career or whatever it is that's
- 2:05:21Speaker 2: leading or their bills. They can keep over the bills.
- 2:05:24Speaker 1: Life stuff, you know, and it's it's actually a luxury
- 2:05:28Speaker 1: to be able to have the time to waste. You know.
- 2:05:33Speaker 1: There's we work so hard in life. Everyone is trying
- 2:05:36Speaker 1: to survive, you know, be a parent, pay a bills,
- 2:05:41Speaker 1: like just adulting. Stuff can get so overwhelming. And then
- 2:05:44Speaker 1: the nature of the world on top of that. But
- 2:05:48Speaker 1: like I always feel like I never take for granted
- 2:05:52Speaker 1: when I have a little bit of time where I
- 2:05:55Speaker 1: can just like not think of or have an agenda,
- 2:05:59Speaker 1: but just be with my family and just like sort
- 2:06:02Speaker 1: of languidly let it waste. Just what are we gonna do?
- 2:06:05Speaker 1: No plans, you know, let's order some food, watch a movie.
- 2:06:09Speaker 1: Looks like the problem its greatest treasure.
- 2:06:11Speaker 2: Phones have filled in those gaps. Yeah, and that's what.
- 2:06:14Speaker 1: I try to be aware of that though. Yeah, you know,
- 2:06:16Speaker 1: I think like, of course, you can always have your phone,
- 2:06:19Speaker 1: but I like to be aware of, Oh, this is
- 2:06:21Speaker 1: a moment where I don't need to have my phone,
- 2:06:24Speaker 1: So it's okay. It'll be blown up by the time
- 2:06:26Speaker 1: I come back, there'll be three hundred messages. I know
- 2:06:28Speaker 1: that I'm aware of it, but I mentally check my
- 2:06:32Speaker 1: you know, and I put it away.
- 2:06:33Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's smart. Most people don't do that.
- 2:06:37Speaker 1: It's not easy, no, because our whole lives are on there,
- 2:06:40Speaker 1: and there's so much again, like in real time information
- 2:06:44Speaker 1: that's coming at you.
- 2:06:45Speaker 2: It's also this weird dopamine poll that's very minor, like
- 2:06:49Speaker 2: it's not giving you an if you look at your phone,
- 2:06:51Speaker 2: and every time you look at your phone, you're like,
- 2:06:53Speaker 2: oh my god, I feel so good, Oh my god,
- 2:06:55Speaker 2: I feel so that, you know, like just an amazing
- 2:06:58Speaker 2: burst of joy every time. But you don't even get that.
- 2:07:00Speaker 2: You just get this little O watchchrisy, what's that? What's next?
- 2:07:04Speaker 2: What's next? What's next? What's next? Keep me occupied, keep
- 2:07:07Speaker 2: me from getting bored.
- 2:07:09Speaker 1: But imagine like if you can't find your phone, the
- 2:07:12Speaker 1: panic like of oh my gosh, where is my phone?
- 2:07:15Speaker 1: Where is that information? What do I do?
- 2:07:17Speaker 2: I never leave my house if I can't find it,
- 2:07:18Speaker 2: I'll be late as fuck. Yeah, I'm never gonna go.
- 2:07:22Speaker 2: I don't need that thing. What I'm just gonna drive
- 2:07:25Speaker 2: with no phone, no phone if someone needs to contact me. Crazy,
- 2:07:28Speaker 2: that's nuts, that's nutty talk. Yeah. But meanwhile, that was
- 2:07:32Speaker 2: every day when I was younger. It was a normal thing.
- 2:07:35Speaker 2: Just drove, just left the house.
- 2:07:37Speaker 1: But I don't even remember what life was like without
- 2:07:40Speaker 1: those phones.
- 2:07:41Speaker 2: Also, I don't know how to go anywhere. Yeah, I
- 2:07:43Speaker 2: don't know how to get anywhere unless I have navigation.
- 2:07:45Speaker 1: I literally have no idea how to go anywhere. I
- 2:07:48Speaker 1: anyway feel like I have dyslexia when it comes to directions.
- 2:07:51Speaker 1: But without navigation zero, it's impossible.
- 2:07:54Speaker 2: I know no one's phone number. I know my friend
- 2:07:56Speaker 2: Eddie's phone number by heart because I knew it before
- 2:07:59Speaker 2: the phones, the same phone forever. And I know my
- 2:08:01Speaker 2: wife's phone number, and I know like at least one
- 2:08:05Speaker 2: of my daughter's phone numbers, but I can't.
- 2:08:08Speaker 1: Maybe I know my mom's. I had to memorize my
- 2:08:11Speaker 1: husband's number, like I didn't remember it for years, and
- 2:08:14Speaker 1: he was like, you don't remember my number?
- 2:08:17Speaker 2: Well, it's like, well, when you press the button, why
- 2:08:20Speaker 2: would I need to remember it?
- 2:08:22Speaker 1: But then I memorized it because I was like, you
- 2:08:24Speaker 1: never know, you know, here's my phone. I need to
- 2:08:26Speaker 1: he's my emergency contact, right, I need to remember. That's
- 2:08:29Speaker 1: what he was like, I think you should maybe remember
- 2:08:32Speaker 1: my number and your social Security.
- 2:08:34Speaker 2: Yeah, social Security I've memorized. But I used to. When
- 2:08:37Speaker 2: I was a kid, I had every number memorized. I
- 2:08:38Speaker 2: knew all my friend's numbers.
- 2:08:40Speaker 1: Well me too.
- 2:08:41Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 2:08:42Speaker 1: Was it because the numbers were shorter than no, No,
- 2:08:45Speaker 1: because we had few fewer numbers.
- 2:08:49Speaker 2: You had to remember them. There was no other option
- 2:08:51Speaker 2: unless you had a fucking address book. Like I used
- 2:08:53Speaker 2: to have an address I had an address book, Yeah,
- 2:08:55Speaker 2: a little tiny book, and it was all the little
- 2:08:57Speaker 2: tabs were r st like you go.
- 2:09:01Speaker 1: I was very proud of my little address book. By
- 2:09:03Speaker 1: the way, everyone's numbers. I was very organized about it.
- 2:09:06Speaker 1: I had it now phabetical order.
- 2:09:08Speaker 2: Yeah. I remember when i'd get a new one, I'd
- 2:09:10Speaker 2: be like, God, I'm gonna write all these down again.
- 2:09:12Speaker 2: And you go through it, make sure you got them all.
- 2:09:14Speaker 1: But yeah, analog was our life. How crazy.
- 2:09:18Speaker 2: Well, I'm older than you, so I remember when you
- 2:09:20Speaker 2: used to have to press the phone the wheel when
- 2:09:22Speaker 2: you have to dial wow, and if you fucked up somewhere,
- 2:09:27Speaker 2: you had to redo the whole thing.
- 2:09:28Speaker 1: Yes, the whole thing. I remember that. My grandfather used
- 2:09:32Speaker 1: to have that phone. We love it. Yeah, the yeah.
- 2:09:37Speaker 2: I mean that's all inside of a lifetime. And now
- 2:09:41Speaker 2: here we are where who knows what's.
- 2:09:44Speaker 1: Kind of happened and what's coming. We can't even keep
- 2:09:46Speaker 1: up with the technology. We don't know that is coming. Now.
- 2:09:50Speaker 1: You were talking about something and I was like, we
- 2:09:53Speaker 1: haven't been able to cure some of the deadliest diseases
- 2:09:57Speaker 1: that have plagued mankind, but technology has gone so far
- 2:10:02Speaker 1: in so many other aspects.
- 2:10:04Speaker 2: There's also the financial incentive is not a cure. It's
- 2:10:08Speaker 2: a treat, of course, which is unfortunate.
- 2:10:10Speaker 1: I mean, one of the that's what makes the most sense.
- 2:10:13Speaker 2: The guy used to work at Pizer, so that if
- 2:10:14Speaker 2: we ever came up with some sort of I think
- 2:10:16Speaker 2: it was Viser, one of the pharmaceutical guitar companies, said,
- 2:10:19Speaker 2: if we ever came up with a cure, they buried
- 2:10:20Speaker 2: it because we don't want cures.
- 2:10:23Speaker 1: I mean, that's the conspiracy. I lost my dad to cancer,
- 2:10:25Speaker 1: and I kept thinking about, like, how is it possible
- 2:10:29Speaker 1: that we live in a world where technology is able
- 2:10:32Speaker 1: to provide so much to us and not be able
- 2:10:35Speaker 1: to have cures to diseases like that.
- 2:10:39Speaker 2: Well, it's also very strange that we financially incentivize companies
- 2:10:45Speaker 2: in weird ways to keep us sick. Like you, if
- 2:10:50Speaker 2: you make more money if people are sick and they
- 2:10:52Speaker 2: need more medication. Unfortunately, there's a financial incentive to keep
- 2:10:58Speaker 2: people sick. You would like them to be more sick.
- 2:11:01Speaker 2: That way you make more money. And if you are
- 2:11:03Speaker 2: a CEO of corporation, you actually have an obligation to
- 2:11:06Speaker 2: your shareholders to make more money. So if you know
- 2:11:08Speaker 2: of something like you know, all most people need to
- 2:11:11Speaker 2: do is just stop doing that. If I just put
- 2:11:12Speaker 2: that on my sub stack and then you go, oh,
- 2:11:14Speaker 2: this will kill our stock, I'll keep it to myself.
- 2:11:17Speaker 1: That's crazy. Crazy.
- 2:11:19Speaker 2: Yeah, it's demonic. Fuck, it's kind of demonic. It's kind
- 2:11:24Speaker 2: of there's there's weird aspects like what I don't know
- 2:11:27Speaker 2: if I really believe in demons, but I definitely believe
- 2:11:30Speaker 2: in demonic acts. And there's certain things that human beings
- 2:11:33Speaker 2: have done and do do that are very demonic. Like
- 2:11:37Speaker 2: if you were possessed by a demon, you would drop
- 2:11:40Speaker 2: a nuclear bomb on a city. You know, the demon
- 2:11:42Speaker 2: would go, there's only one way to stop this. You
- 2:11:45Speaker 2: got to kill everybody in that city. Just drop it,
- 2:11:48Speaker 2: drop it, like that's why you would do it. Like
- 2:11:51Speaker 2: I'm not saying that's why it was done, but I
- 2:11:53Speaker 2: was saying. But I am saying that if a demon
- 2:11:55Speaker 2: could convince you to drop a nuclear bomb, because person
- 2:11:58Speaker 2: with a conscious would be like, well, these are just
- 2:12:00Speaker 2: people down there. They have nothing to do with this war.
- 2:12:02Speaker 2: That doesn't make any sense at all. These are just
- 2:12:04Speaker 2: people living their lives, they have their families, and we're
- 2:12:06Speaker 2: just gonna incinerate an entire city. And with one bomb
- 2:12:10Speaker 2: that I drop out of a plane. That's crazy that.
- 2:12:14Speaker 1: The you know, you just press the button.
- 2:12:16Speaker 2: Yeah, and as technology advances, it gets easier and easier
- 2:12:19Speaker 2: to do that.
- 2:12:20Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 2:12:21Speaker 2: You know, in these these war games that they've played
- 2:12:24Speaker 2: with AI, they've used nuclear weapons almost every time they could.
- 2:12:30Speaker 2: Oh my god. Yeah, they have no reason if they
- 2:12:33Speaker 2: want to achieve a result, and they realize they have
- 2:12:36Speaker 2: a nuclear weapon, why won't I use that? Use that?
- 2:12:39Speaker 2: So they I think it was like something like ninety
- 2:12:42Speaker 2: plus percent of the time they've done these war games,
- 2:12:44Speaker 2: these simulated wargames, the AI programs have used nuclear weapons.
- 2:12:51Speaker 2: To them, It's like, I don't understand. You're gonna kill
- 2:12:54Speaker 2: one hundred thousand people over a course of five years
- 2:12:57Speaker 2: of pro on the ground, right?
- 2:13:00Speaker 1: Do it once?
- 2:13:01Speaker 2: Like if they had done what's happened to Gaza, if
- 2:13:05Speaker 2: they had done that with one bomb instead of thousands
- 2:13:09Speaker 2: of bombs, would that be somehow less humane? Would that
- 2:13:13Speaker 2: be more barbaric? If Israel just said, oh, okay, we're
- 2:13:17Speaker 2: gonna Innew Gaza, the world would have gone crazy. They
- 2:13:20Speaker 2: would be like, you can't do that. This is horrible.
- 2:13:23Speaker 2: I mean the world has already gone kind of crazy
- 2:13:24Speaker 2: for what they did do. But if they achieved the
- 2:13:27Speaker 2: exact same result but instantaneously instead of over a course
- 2:13:31Speaker 2: of a couple of years, how do you think people
- 2:13:33Speaker 2: would react? Kind of weird?
- 2:13:35Speaker 1: All of it is awful, it's horrible. It's just like
- 2:13:40Speaker 1: just the capacity of the thing. Also is when you
- 2:13:47Speaker 1: think about like what drives human beings to do the
- 2:13:50Speaker 1: things that they do. Right, it's the devil talking to you,
- 2:13:55Speaker 1: the conflict of interest within yourself, but alsos of years
- 2:14:00Speaker 1: of history, isn't it.
- 2:14:01Speaker 2: Yeah, And it's we've become accustomed to it. Yeah, yeah,
- 2:14:06Speaker 2: it's normal.
- 2:14:07Speaker 1: Like it's normalized for us so much. But it's like
- 2:14:10Speaker 1: there's there's so many aspects to every conflict, which is
- 2:14:16Speaker 1: so hard to simplify into, like why.
- 2:14:20Speaker 2: Not only that, there's a lot of stuff that's going
- 2:14:22Speaker 2: on behind the scenes that you're never privy to, so
- 2:14:24Speaker 2: you just get narratives that are fed to you by
- 2:14:27Speaker 2: bureaucrats and politicians.
- 2:14:29Speaker 1: Or whatever little information that comes at you.
- 2:14:31Speaker 2: Yeah, and so you know, and then there's this in
- 2:14:35Speaker 2: this country in particular, there's the right versus the left,
- 2:14:38Speaker 2: and the left will blame it on the right, and
- 2:14:39Speaker 2: the right will blame it on the left. And then
- 2:14:41Speaker 2: you know, everybody has these very convenient CNN, Fox News
- 2:14:46Speaker 2: narratives that they'll repeat at coffee, you know, coffee shops
- 2:14:50Speaker 2: and cocktail parties, and you pretend that you're making sense
- 2:14:53Speaker 2: out of this thing when you don't even really know
- 2:14:55Speaker 2: what's going on behind the scenes.
- 2:14:56Speaker 1: That's why I really feel like I feel like a
- 2:14:59Speaker 1: lot of time we've been given a platform to talk,
- 2:15:04Speaker 1: right with social media, like everyone can talk, and there's
- 2:15:08Speaker 1: a power to that, but there's also a big misuse
- 2:15:11Speaker 1: of it where you really don't know and you're not
- 2:15:16Speaker 1: the authority on perspective at all, because there is so
- 2:15:21Speaker 1: much that you would probably do not know of history
- 2:15:27Speaker 1: and the geography and of why people behave the way
- 2:15:31Speaker 1: the way they are behaving. So I like to unless
- 2:15:35Speaker 1: I'm the expert on something, which I'm not on anything
- 2:15:37Speaker 1: except my job, that too limited, you know, I just
- 2:15:42Speaker 1: try to kind of have a larger understanding from a
- 2:15:45Speaker 1: human perspective.
- 2:15:48Speaker 2: That's a great sign of intelligence because there's no way
- 2:15:50Speaker 2: you can know everything about everything and with certain things,
- 2:15:53Speaker 2: especially a global conflicts, like what is happening? Like why
- 2:15:57Speaker 2: is this going on? Telling you about when I went
- 2:15:59Speaker 2: to the deep dive of the East India Corporation, I
- 2:16:03Speaker 2: never had any idea that they went to war with
- 2:16:06Speaker 2: China over opium.
- 2:16:07Speaker 1: Yeah, got them addicted first.
- 2:16:09Speaker 2: Yeah, got them addicted, went to war with China, stole
- 2:16:12Speaker 2: Hong Kong.
- 2:16:13Speaker 1: Yeah, Like what the gravity of manipulation in human history
- 2:16:23Speaker 1: is insane, Like even when the East India Company, and
- 2:16:27Speaker 1: they started with trading with India too many many years ago.
- 2:16:30Speaker 2: We just got innocent.
- 2:16:32Speaker 1: Yeah, completely, we're your friends where you know, allies. We're
- 2:16:35Speaker 1: friends with all the royalty in India, so many royals
- 2:16:38Speaker 1: in India and royal each state had their own kings
- 2:16:41Speaker 1: and princes and became friends with everyone. Started with tea,
- 2:16:46Speaker 1: started with trading tea and spices, and then just went
- 2:16:49Speaker 1: into you know, I mean, we got our independence in
- 2:16:52Speaker 1: nineteen forty seven, which was it's not even one hundred
- 2:16:55Speaker 1: years since we've got our independence. It's that recent. But
- 2:16:59Speaker 1: you think about just within the last century, there were
- 2:17:04Speaker 1: you know, signs which said Indians and dogs not allowed
- 2:17:09Speaker 1: in India by the British. Like within this century, indians
- 2:17:14Speaker 1: and dogs in India. Wow, isn't that crazy? Like and
- 2:17:20Speaker 1: this is like the this is not even like this
- 2:17:24Speaker 1: is the head of the iceberg. There's so much more
- 2:17:27Speaker 1: when you do a deep dive into the history of colonization,
- 2:17:32Speaker 1: which is about This movie was also so interesting to
- 2:17:33Speaker 1: me because it touches on the themes of you know,
- 2:17:37Speaker 1: the colonized and the story from their perspective, which is
- 2:17:41Speaker 1: like not a lot of what we hear No.
- 2:17:44Speaker 2: Not not at all. I mean there's a lot of
- 2:17:46Speaker 2: great historical elements in that, just the the just the
- 2:17:49Speaker 2: pirate thing alone, the fact that most of the time
- 2:17:52Speaker 2: in human history, when a boat showed up, there was
- 2:17:54Speaker 2: a real fucking problem.
- 2:17:55Speaker 1: Yeah, and what real real pirates like we've gotten so
- 2:17:59Speaker 1: used to, you know, with the Disney version of the
- 2:18:01Speaker 1: and I love the Pirates of the Cribbean movies, don't
- 2:18:03Speaker 1: get me wrong. They're so fun. But like the pirate
- 2:18:07Speaker 1: jokes and whatever, but they were fucking brutal. They were murderers,
- 2:18:12Speaker 1: like horrific monster, hor horrible life.
- 2:18:16Speaker 2: Yeah. Joke about that once, like why is it okay
- 2:18:18Speaker 2: to be a pirate for Halloween? You know, crazy it
- 2:18:21Speaker 2: is for little kids?
- 2:18:22Speaker 1: Yeah, you're a murderer, rapist.
- 2:18:25Speaker 2: Yeah. Oh, look at his little hook he lost his hand,
- 2:18:28Speaker 2: raping like this. I mean that was what the pirates were.
- 2:18:33Speaker 2: They were horrific monsters and they would travel around the
- 2:18:37Speaker 2: world just stealing people stuff and killing everybody. Yeah, and
- 2:18:41Speaker 2: that happened for.
- 2:18:42Speaker 1: Those and helping with colonization, yeah for years.
- 2:18:46Speaker 2: And the fact that they were soldiers for the East
- 2:18:48Speaker 2: India Corporation, they were actually working for them to go
- 2:18:51Speaker 2: take over these areas.
- 2:18:52Speaker 1: And the best soldiers from around the world, the best mercenaries,
- 2:18:56Speaker 1: murderers from around.
- 2:18:57Speaker 2: The world, a larger army than most European countries.
- 2:19:01Speaker 1: Yes, a corporation, yeah, and it's like an army.
- 2:19:05Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah essentially. But started off just trading, just super innocent. Y.
- 2:19:11Speaker 1: I'm your friend and I'm here for your band, and
- 2:19:12Speaker 1: they would be so respectful with you know, the former
- 2:19:16Speaker 1: kings and queens. And it's wild the manipulation of it.
- 2:19:21Speaker 2: Well, it's also wild. How when you do have an
- 2:19:24Speaker 2: obligation to your shareholders and you do have this mandate
- 2:19:27Speaker 2: to just constantly make more money, the morals go out
- 2:19:30Speaker 2: the window and next thing you know, East in Da
- 2:19:32Speaker 2: Corporation is involved in slavery. Yah.
- 2:19:34Speaker 1: They used to call it trade, divide and conquer, where
- 2:19:37Speaker 1: they would get all the princes of each state like
- 2:19:40Speaker 1: to fight amongst each other. So instead of India being
- 2:19:44Speaker 1: collective and together, she was like divided between everyone fighting
- 2:19:48Speaker 1: for each other so they could take over. It's like
- 2:19:51Speaker 1: mental games.
- 2:19:53Speaker 2: Well that's what people think is going on in America
- 2:19:55Speaker 2: right now. I mean, I think that's the manipulation of
- 2:19:57Speaker 2: the right versus left here when most people of want
- 2:20:00Speaker 2: the same thing. They just want to be healthy and
- 2:20:04Speaker 2: safe and have their families healthy and safe.
- 2:20:07Speaker 1: And do your job and come back home.
- 2:20:09Speaker 2: That's what most people want. Yeah, but then the division
- 2:20:13Speaker 2: is like constantly in the news, it's constant struggle. It's
- 2:20:16Speaker 2: the only thing that you hear about. Yeah, we're both
- 2:20:20Speaker 2: dumb and stupid and.
- 2:20:22Speaker 1: Smart, smart and stupid at the same.
- 2:20:24Speaker 2: And stupid at the same time, but more dumb. And
- 2:20:27Speaker 2: that's the other thing about technology. It allows you to
- 2:20:29Speaker 2: stay dumb because everything's done for you. You don't really have
- 2:20:33Speaker 2: to think outside the box that much. Everything's kind of
- 2:20:37Speaker 2: laid out for you.
- 2:20:38Speaker 1: Yeah, Like if you think about AI and Hollywood, now
- 2:20:41Speaker 1: that's weird, right, It's like if you it's in writer's rooms,
- 2:20:46Speaker 1: it's used as a tool. But I was I was
- 2:20:50Speaker 1: listening to that podcast with Ben and Matt on your show,
- 2:20:54Speaker 1: and you guys were talking about you know, the like basically,
- 2:21:00Speaker 1: everything that AI has or the information that it provides
- 2:21:03Speaker 1: to you is an average of everything that's out there, right,
- 2:21:06Speaker 1: so it will never be excellent because it's a it's
- 2:21:09Speaker 1: a it's the average of all the information out there.
- 2:21:12Speaker 1: So it's like trying to do a median. But I'm
- 2:21:15Speaker 1: just thinking about how it's become a tool that is
- 2:21:21Speaker 1: going to exist in our world. Now. The question is
- 2:21:25Speaker 1: the morality of it and the lines that we draw
- 2:21:28Speaker 1: where we protect human beings and human contribution and are
- 2:21:32Speaker 1: able to delineate the difference between what is created by
- 2:21:37Speaker 1: AI and what is not, you know, and the need
- 2:21:41Speaker 1: for I think human flaws are something that I don't
- 2:21:48Speaker 1: know if AI will be able to recreate anytime soon,
- 2:21:53Speaker 1: and that, like in art, that's what you need, right.
- 2:21:57Speaker 2: Yeah, you'll get fac similes, Yeah, get the real thing.
- 2:22:00Speaker 2: It's like the hollowness of AI music. AI music is
- 2:22:04Speaker 2: really fun, but after a while you realize there's not
- 2:22:06Speaker 2: a dude singing this.
- 2:22:08Speaker 1: And there's not like a soul to it. It's weird.
- 2:22:10Speaker 2: It's empty.
- 2:22:11Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so far, But who knows.
- 2:22:13Speaker 2: That's the problem. It could figure out a way to
- 2:22:16Speaker 2: manipulate that part of your brain that reproduces whatever soulful
- 2:22:21Speaker 2: music is or whatever the soul is.
- 2:22:24Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I was thinking about like being an actor.
- 2:22:27Speaker 1: I was like, is that going to be absolute obsolete
- 2:22:30Speaker 1: in the next like ten years. Are we going to
- 2:22:33Speaker 1: be watching?
- 2:22:35Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 2:22:35Speaker 1: Are we going to be watching like really good AI.
- 2:22:40Speaker 3: Actors probably you know, until well to find a new job.
- 2:22:45Speaker 2: Well, I think a lot of people are going to
- 2:22:47Speaker 2: have to find a new job. I think live performances,
- 2:22:49Speaker 2: plays and musicals and stuff like that. People are always
- 2:22:51Speaker 2: going to want to see people do something live for sure. Yeah.
- 2:22:55Speaker 1: Well when it comes to cinema, especially because I feel
- 2:22:58Speaker 1: like audiences also love larger than life cinema, right, Like
- 2:23:05Speaker 1: we go to the theaters to watch this like big shit.
- 2:23:07Speaker 1: We loved when VFX came into movies. We love the
- 2:23:12Speaker 1: imagination being able to be so big. I do think
- 2:23:17Speaker 1: AI helps in a big way to take away the
- 2:23:20Speaker 1: burdens of you know, the minutia of things that we
- 2:23:25Speaker 1: might have to do as a tool, which it can
- 2:23:27Speaker 1: do like a breakdown of a script or whatever. But
- 2:23:30Speaker 1: I think when it comes to like creating the human
- 2:23:33Speaker 1: like human fragility of life and story, it is still
- 2:23:38Speaker 1: a little bit away from being able to do that.
- 2:23:42Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's always going to be like pop. Yeah,
- 2:23:45Speaker 2: it's never going to create like taxi driver.
- 2:23:48Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 2:23:48Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you need I mean, but I've you're wrong
- 2:23:52Speaker 2: about that too. Yeah, who knows, it might not even
- 2:23:54Speaker 2: matter by the time it starts taking over all of
- 2:23:56Speaker 2: our resources.
- 2:23:58Speaker 1: I'm so curious actually to see how many conversations that everyone,
- 2:24:02Speaker 1: all of us have had about you know, this emergence
- 2:24:04Speaker 1: of AI and how that like stays ten years later.
- 2:24:09Speaker 1: Are we like this did this age?
- 2:24:11Speaker 2: Well? Probably?
- 2:24:12Speaker 1: Did I know what I was talking about?
- 2:24:14Speaker 2: We probably have no idea what's going going to be?
- 2:24:17Speaker 2: You'll have any idea.
- 2:24:18Speaker 1: About this, like where we would be right now?
- 2:24:20Speaker 2: It might be Doctor Manhattan floating over the country telling
- 2:24:23Speaker 2: us what to do.
- 2:24:24Speaker 1: Yeah, it's possible.
- 2:24:27Speaker 2: I don't know, but thank you for being here. I
- 2:24:30Speaker 2: really enjoyed it. It was a really fun conversation, and I
- 2:24:32Speaker 2: really enjoyed your movie. It was crazy violent. I didn't
- 2:24:35Speaker 2: expect that, but very exciting and very good.
- 2:24:37Speaker 1: Thank you for taking me around the world and everywhere else.
- 2:24:40Speaker 1: We time traveled, we talked about the whole world. We
- 2:24:44Speaker 1: went into the sty we went into the future. It
- 2:24:46Speaker 1: was awesome.
- 2:24:47Speaker 2: Well, congratulations to you and continued success.
- 2:24:50Speaker 1: Thank you, Jank you.
- 2:24:50Speaker 2: I really enjoyed it.
- 2:24:51Speaker 1: Thank you all right,
