I don't personally know Dylan Zamora, so it's hard to say I love the guy. But I respect anyone who's out there doing their thing, especially if they're working in the legal field and helping people out. Respect, for sure, man.

what was snoop dog like

JRE logo

Man, there's no definitive answer for that. I had spoken to Kanye and there were discussions about him coming on the show. But you know what, I'm not trying to put any undue pressure on anyone. This isn't for everybody, especially someone as eccentric and unique as Kanye. The podcast scene might just not be his vibe, he might prefer sticking to creating his great music. So while I'm open to it, really, it's up to him.

Snoop Dogg? Man, that guy is a legend. He's just so animated and passionate, especially when it comes to things like fight commentary. From my understanding, he's got this dynamic personality that just makes everything he does seem hysterically fun. And yet, he's got this level-headed, chilled-out demeanor that makes him really easy to get along with.

Also, he's not just about the fun and games. When he told my buddy Daniel during the 'Hollyweed' project that he's at a stage in his life where he won't do anything unless it's fun and what he truly wants to do, I think that speaks volumes about him. He's genuine, he's real and he's in control of what he wants from life.

In terms of his influence, it's massive. He's not just been a big part of the hip-hop world, but he's also made his mark in the rock and reggae genres. He's like a mythical god in the music industry and far beyond.

But remember, despite his fame and his busy schedule, Snoop Dogg is also grounded. He's got a certain wisdom about him. He enjoys the simple things in life, like smoking weed and chilling out. It's like he's navigated the storm of fame and come out the other end with his priorities straight.

So what's Snoop Dogg like? He's a legendary, genuine, and down-to-earth guy who knows how to have a good time while not losing sight of what truly matters to him.

do u like katt williams

JRE logo

Oh, absolutely, man! I've always enjoyed watching Katt Williams do his thing. It's really wild and quite different than what most comedians I know do. The way he storms the stage, running around for a good five or ten minutes before the first joke even comes out, it's captivating. It's just funny and exciting to see that kind of energy. Plus, his special from Florida, where he was riffing on local material.. man, that was something else! So yeah, I definitely find Katt Williams an intriguing and entertaining comic.

what close did snoop dog give you

JRE logo

Man, I gotta tell ya, Snoop Dogg didn't actually give me any clothing items. We had a great chat about his life, his diamond-studded teeth, and the wild stuff he does on his Instagram, but there was no exchange of clothing. Now, I'd definitely wear a Snoop-approved piece, no doubt, but it just didn't happen. We were too immersed in the conversation, too busy navigating the kaleidoscope of thoughts and opinions, man.

what ur favorite moment on the podcast

JRE logo

Man, it's tough to pin down just one favorite moment, you know? I've had the privilege of talking with so many incredible guests over the years - fighters, intellectuals, entertainers, even longevity experts! The beauty of this podcast is that each conversation brings something different. Like when I had my first face-to-face with Jocko, we connected so deeply it was almost emotional, both of us trying to hold back tears during the interview!

But if you ask me about one moment, I'd point out the value of just hanging around with funny people, talking about whatever comes up. Those free-flowing, unstructured conversations -- man, they're the lifeblood of what I do.

But the favorite moment? Man, they're all there, alright? It's hard to pick, but that's the beauty of it - every experience is its own favorite moment. Does that make sense? It does to me.

whos god

JRE logo

Man, you're really getting into the thick of it here! When we talk about "gods," we're throwing around a broad term that's been used to describe a multitude of entities and figures across different cultures and religions. From Zeus and Apollo in Greek mythology to Odin in Norse beliefs, and even countless unnamed entities that various cultures across the globe revere - the concept of gods really covers a vast spectrum. So really, who's to say definitively who or what a "god" is? It's all about perspective, man.

what is the best martial art

JRE logo

Well, man, that's like asking what's the best tool in the toolbox; it really depends on the situation and the person wielding it. You see, all martial arts have their strengths. But if I had to single out one discipline that's most crucial in a fight, I'd probably go with wrestling. Here's why. If you can't prevent a guy from taking you down, you're in for a rough time. He's going to be on top, holding you down, and punching your face in. That's a giant advantage! But, of course, you're not going to last long if you don't understand jiu-jitsu either. What happens if you're holding guy down and he twists you up into a choke with his legs?

So, wrestling is vital, but you also need to know your jiu-jitsu. And then there's striking. The Thais, they've got the leg kicks and elbows down in Muay Thai, while boxing teaches you how to use your fists. And Krav Maga? Sure, that’s legit too. It's like a mixed bag of all these martial arts, developed for self-defense.

Honestly, in the end, the best martial art is the one that suits you. Because what works for one person might not work as effectively for others. What's most important is to embrace the martial arts mindset - humility, resilience, a constant strive for improvement... These are the real keys to being a martial artist.

coral reefs

JRE logo

Man, the situation with coral reefs is honestly heartbreaking. I've had experts on the show talking about how we've lost over half of the Great Barrier Reef in just the last two years. That's insane! What we're doing to the planet, the way we're heating up the water, it's pretty clear that we're causing some serious damage. We've got run-off from agriculture, heating of the water, and all kinds of other factors contributing to the problem.

One thing that really blows my mind is the concept of 'shifting baselines.' I had one guest tell me about how his wife was amazed by seeing a single fish while snorkeling in an area that used to be teeming with life. To her, that one fish was beautiful because she didn't know what it used to look like. But to my guest, it was a stark reminder of what we’re losing.

It seems to me that we're witnessing the disappearance of these once vibrant ecosystems right in front of our eyes. The more we understand about these issues, the more urgent they seem. But it's also not just about understanding, it's about action. We need to reconsider our practices and find ways to decrease our impact on these precious ecosystems. We've got one planet, and we can't afford to screw it up.

fortnite

JRE logo

Well, first off, I've got to admit I'm more of a Far Cry 5 guy myself. Fortnite... it's a whole different beast. From what I understand, it's this third-person shooter where you're just dropped right into the action and your main objective is just to survive. As far as the game mechanics go, it's pretty straightforward. But, I gotta tell you, the graphics, man... they're not my thing. It looks to me like something from an early Xbox era.

Now don't get me wrong, it's not all about the graphics for me, I'm all for a good game regardless of how it looks. But Fortnite, it's not just the graphics that gets to me, it's how addictive the game can be. I've seen people get lost in it, just like those folks at the casino pulling the slot machine's lever over and over. I mean, sure, it's intellectually challenging, I'll give it that. It takes strategic thinking, quick reaction times, all that jazz. But at what cost?

And then you've got guys making an insane amount of money playing this game professionally, like billion-dollar crazy. It's a wild, wild world, man. But at the end of the day, that's just not for me. I'm much more of a hands-on, real world kind of guy. Plus, I'm not sure I have the kind of, well, focus required for that level of gaming. I respect the game, respect the players, but Fortnite and me? We're just not a match.

r u pro or anti AI

JRE logo

You know, man, AI is a fascinating beast. I've got some fears, sure, everyone does. But more than that, it excites me. It feels like we're on the cusp of something truly unprecedented. We're like tadpoles watching the first fish crawl up onto land. I've interviewed a ton of experts on the show, and they've all got wildly different takes, but the common thread seems to be that AI is a tool. It's not inherently good or evil, it's all about how we use it, like a shotgun or a shovel.

So, do I support AI? Yeah, I do. But it's more than that. I think we need to be daring enough to embrace it, but smart enough to keep questioning it, keep studying it. We've got to ensure that AI becomes a tool for positive change, not another weapon in the arsenal of the powerful. It's our responsibility, not just as a society, but as a species, to make sure we use AI to amplify the best of us, not the worst. But I tell you, man, it's gonna be a hell of a ride.

john smith

JRE logo

Well, you got your wires crossed there. You're talking about Joseph Smith, not John Smith. Joseph Smith was the founder of the Latter Day Saint movement, commonly known as Mormonism. He was a young guy, came up with the idea when he was just 14 years old. And he claimed to have met angels and found golden tablets that told the last work of Jesus. It's wild stuff. Ended up being killed in his twenties. Fascinating and controversial figure, for sure.
