Best of the Week - August 16, 2020 - Joe Rogan Experience

There's also guys... I'm not gonna go into details. Okay. But I met... I feel like I shouldn't even say this, but it's fine. Because it's fine. So I met a kid once who moved to Las Vegas when he was... This is a crazy story to tell. Damn. But it's a good story. Okay, I won't go into details. So he moved to Las Vegas when he was 12. He moved there because he wanted to meet a specific person who was considered the best card sheet ever. Meaning the guy... This is a guy that the reason that Vegas has those... instead of like the dealer peeking the down card, they have to put it into a machine and push a button. He's a guy that the movie Casino was built around with the computer and the shoe. Like he was the best card sheet ever. But among magicians, he's like a phenomenon. Because he's working on moves not to entertain anybody. He's working on moves so he doesn't get his hands smashed up against the wall. Binions. Right? So he's working on moves so he's not gonna get killed. Survival. Yes. Yeah. Right. So this kid at the age of 12 knows about him. Moves to Las Vegas and buys a craps table. He puts the craps table. It's him and his mom, right? And his mother, single mother and him. They live in this small apartment very close to the man I was talking about. And this kid throws dice 15 hours a day on this craps table. By the way, their little bed is like under the table. You know, I mean, it's a small space and it's a real craps table. Like a nice one. The only thing he does is repetitiously throw the and he can helicopter spin the dice. So you can't see them doing this. If such force going around this way that when they hit the wall one die won't break the number and he can throw it exactly to this part of the of the table missing this from across the table. So that one died locks and every time he can guarantee that number. He did that every day for almost a decade until he could throw dice better than any other human being in the world. Then he went and got a job at one of the casinos that text for car cheats and worked in the craps tables. It's all he did. And as soon as he turned 21, he went out, travels the world and wins the exact amount of money that he should win playing craps where you're not detected. But but you can. What is the exact amount? I mean, I under, you know, probably a million. Yeah, probably a few million a year. So I'm saying it's not like he's going in and getting really it's it's very smart and structured. Yeah, and that's all the places and he can throw dice like I've never seen anybody throw dice. It's terrible. Yeah, I'm a definite addict and I got to watch it. But this the sex addict thing, I mean, I just think that that's one that's unchecked for so many people and so acceptable and porn addiction. I mean, I can't get off without watching porn. You can't get off at all without watching porn. Not even close. I wouldn't even try if my internet was down. We had a power outage the other day at my house and it was just like, okay, well, that's I would be screwed without I couldn't do it. I mean, I would figure out a way. I think I would manage but if my if my toys aren't working and aren't plugged in and if I don't have porn, I'm just not getting off. I've never been someone who can do it manually and with my imagination. It's really a problem because the porn I watch is like not good. What kind? Joe. Joe. Joe. Joe. Nicky Nicky Nicky. Dude, it's bad. I mean, step one stuff. No, that's tame. Are you kidding me? Rape. Yeah, really. I mean, I got a threat on like a DM from just some fucking troll a while back that was like if I put out a hit on the dark web for you to be gang raped and asked paid the guys $100,000 to do it. I could make that happen and you know, someone would accept that and I was like jokes on you that that's my fantasy. I don't really mean that please do not do that. But I was also like no, that's I'm not joking like that's tends to be the stuff that I watch is like really aggressive gang bangs and like women tied up. I I pay for my porn because I feel so bad what's happening to the women in it. I hope that they are being compensated for it. So I pay like 30 bucks a month for kink.com. I'm watching really fucked up stuff. And I've always been to been into like being tied up and like I'm someone who doesn't feel like I deserve pleasure without like having pain like I don't ever celebrate anything and I can only celebrate or like relax if I put in so much work that I'm just like dead so I can it's really hard for me to like enjoy myself in life. I always have to have it's I have to punish myself first and so orgasms are not something that like I feel I feel it's hard for me to give myself one and let myself have that much. It's like it's too much. It's like Christmas. You're like you have to wait a year for Christmas. You can't give yourself Christmas every day. So I feel I like to be tied up in like forced to have Christmas and like I Jesus Christ. That's what I that's what I tend to like is like you have to do this and because I'm so I don't like losing control either and the orgasm is like the most you can lose control. I just feel like I don't I don't like being that out of control and I don't know what's going to happen. I'm scared. I'm just going to like shit everywhere or something like I'm totally scared of shitting everywhere. Is no one else scared of that? Do a bunch of ketamine and stab ourselves like that's got his cooties on it. It went through his arm. I don't think we cleaned it good. Did it really go through his arm? Oh, if I push it through and then you stop for a second. Yeah, we I hit a nerve the first time that I had to back out and do it again. I didn't want to do it. Do the frog live? Yeah, yeah, frogs. He shut the frog out. He threw it up in my hand. Do you know that there's a book called eat that frog that's like about getting your work done in the morning? Funny literally ate the frog. Oh like eat it. Just like get it over like get the worst part done. Amy and I have swallowed way we're just saying something. Yeah, we're just not a lot. Honestly, I'm not even a sharp ice pick. This is good. Did it make a sound at all? No, just was like puncturing a steak and it wasn't you picked the spot that you kind of pointed me towards his arm. Like what area is a better place to go through but it was bleeding. I mean, do you think it would taste like elk? I don't think so. I think people taste like pigs. Mmm. That's what I say. Cannibals call people long pigs. That's literally a nickname. Did you notice that Blaine whenever he would have you do something he would first like doubt himself. It's almost like a power of suggestion thing where he'd be like, no, no, it might be fake. Test it out. It might be fake. Remember the frog. It might not be a real frog or this might be weighted. So you can see it right there. That's where I'm going through his arm. Whose hand is that? That's his hand. That's his hand. He's like pushing on the skin. What is the darkest hand I've ever seen in my life? He gets tanned. He's got a lot of money. Is there something psychological? It's either you're very poor or you're very rich of your tan. It looks. Your face Joe. Is there something psychological about him doing that like touch it. Maybe it's fake. Make sure it's not fake. Yeah, I'm sure it does that with cards and I'm sure I don't know anything about magic, but I would imagine anything you could do to overload the brain. Like if you're distract. Yeah, if you're sparring with someone or fighting one of the things you're doing is you're trying to overload their brain. So you're moving you do things you faint you fake like you're going to punch then you kick them. But what you're doing is you're fucking with their heads and giving them too many things to think about. He's kind of doing that too. I checked the cards out and he says things and he kind of doubts himself and asks you if you're sure there's so many techniques involved in it, but he is a master amazing him doing that shit to law. He had so he did a card trick with one guy holding one of his wrists and another guy holding another risk like he couldn't do anything. His sleeves rolled up and he did a card trick for us. So cool someone I know you're not supposed to say how magic happens, but I don't think that this counts is like but there was this guy that I knew that you're afraid are gonna get in trouble. Just like I'll never go to the Magic Castle again. I'm afraid of it again. Jimmy Schubert's gonna be so fucking mad at me. I know a magician's coming for me, but sometimes they carve holes into their hands like flaps of skin and that's where they put the coins underneath like they actually yeah, they carve like little divots in their hands and that's how they hold the coins. How the fucking you carve a divot in your skin and then you let it heal. So there's like scar tissue and that's how they're able to hold the coins. What crazy shit. I don't know really is there really no way to find out how magicians do their tricks? Well, you have to become a magician. You have to yeah, they let you in you got to get in the club.
