Best of the Week - November 10, 2019 - Joe Rogan Experience

When you entered the fifth round against Kelvin, you said, I'm ready to die. I looked at him and I remember I called it Este Diablo. He was looking at me and he just had this like look and he's just swinging his hands. And I said, you're not going to beat me. I'm prepared to die. And I meant that man. I swear to God on my life. I meant that. I'm even getting goosebumps. Think you see that. I'm getting goosebumps too. Like I meant that shit because I was like, look, and I signed my death warrant right there. I was like, look, if this is how I die, this is how I die. But you see me, I was trying to get him. I was trying to kill him. I knew because for me, if I'm ready to die, I'm ready to kill. You have to be willing to give something up as well. So in that fifth round when I was throwing those shots, when I was I think I dropped him like four times or something crazy, like even the last one like went from heaven hit him. I wished I didn't like follow and like roll over on him because I probably could have got him out with like two seconds left. But I was trying to get him out of there man. And it's sad to say, but I was ready if he had taken it to me and he had done that to me and I didn't wake up. So be it. Well, that was evident in the way you fought because you didn't, you know, it was a close fight, but it looked like you were ahead on the judges, but you didn't take, I mean, any break at all. You just you threw yourself into the fire instead of being cautious, you know, and I told that to Dana, you know, Dana and I were talking about that fight and he was he was talking about a hyped is for Whitaker. They tried to get me to fly to Australia. I love you, bro, but I'm not doing that. Don't do it. Even me tried it like right now, I've canceled a lot of my trips because also, you know, my knee, but also just FOMO being away from the gym, like you feel it after a while. I said this level like after the fight because you can see the target on your back, people smiling your face, you know. Oh, yeah. And then yeah, I know what's up. I'm not stupid. I've seen a lot of people in this game rise and fall 100 percent all the time. So I want to get back to doing what I do best. You probably not too many people to like like can live a social media free life and still make money doing entertainment. Real hard. Dave does it. Yeah, he's one of the only people that I know that does it, but he's so intelligent about that kind of shit. He doesn't engage in that. He doesn't engage in other people's opinions of him. He's like he used my phone. Does he? Yeah. He don't use his phone. He ain't going to dirty his phone up. Anything social media, whatever he wanted to see through my phone. He checks it out through you. Oh, my motherfuckers addicted to World Star. Is he? That's hilarious. We'd be on the road, man. We'd be on the road. And all you see is this is always some shit. Somebody getting ran over by a car. Some shit's like, oh, goddamn World Star. He's on World Star. Hardest shit. Oh, that's hilarious. But anything that's dealing with pop culture and stuff like that, I'm usually like that. Like the guy just brings him into it. But does he just keep no phone? No apps on his phone? I don't think I don't think he has a app. Good for him. Yeah, good for him. It's a good. I lost the phone the other day, man. And I was saying to myself, I was freaking out because you know, if you lose a fucking phone, the minute you do the pocket check, you do like all four pockets. And the first thing you say is fuck. Right. And if you're the worst thing is a person that's going when you're going out with a group of people and a person who's phone just ruined the whole fucking night. Yeah, because then you got to go fucking search for it. All right. Be quiet. Go back. Be quiet. Call my phone. Right. Call my phone. Could y'all be quiet? Could y'all call my phone? Could y'all call it? And I told myself I was like, fuck. Because I got the iCloud and shit now. So it's not as fucking tragic as it used to be. Like if you use your phone, you're losing pictures of your kids being born and all this stuff. And I lost the phone and I was like, fuck. I just lost one like four months ago. I lost the fucking phone. I was like, you know what, Daniel? You can't let your phone fucking regulate your life like that. You're a person beyond that phone. I went to sleep, right? And I, the sleep was, it was so peaceful. And I woke up. And the first thing I want to know was what time it was, right? And I didn't even think to look at a watch or anything. I was like, where the fuck is my phone? And I went right back and got a phone. I did 10 hours out of the phone. I was about to go crazy. I was like, how do people fucking do this? How do you find out directions? Ari Shafir went without a phone for four months. It was a reality show? No, he just, yeah, it was his own reality show. He just decided to go to Asia. He traveled all around Asia. Went to like, he went to Vietnam. Yeah, but he was already loaded. Yeah, he had money. Yeah, you don't just, you just don't, you just don't have like a minimum wage job and just leave your phone for four months. No, you kind of can't now. Wu-Tang was designed, right, to come together for a common cause, right? And that cause, of course, being to express our art, to rise ourselves out of poverty, and to feed our families. So that was a foundation. But it's not designed to fall apart. In fact, Wu-Tang, that's why on our second album, it's called Wu-Tang Forever. Meaning no matter what we do, no matter if I go make movies or Met the Man make movies or you go write books. You come back together. Yeah, we always got to come back together. But this one I did. Wu-Tang is forever. But hold on, let me finish the last thing. But now to put us all on the same, like to expose it all to the world through one outlet. Yes. It had to be that. It had to be that. It had to be that. And the reason why I said it, because when I had my sketch group, I had my sketch group years ago, it was called Secrets Society when I was doing it. I remember that. I had this manager, and she came, this was before the Dave Chappelle show. It was just thinking, I was like, I'm going to do these jokes on my plate. I'm really watching you, bro. Look, and then I said, I said, one of the managers I was working with, she was like, the name of my group was Secrets Society. She said, I had Mike Epps, I had Mark Theobald, I had Red Grant, I had some bad motherfuckers. And she said, D'Anel, I think Secrets Society is falling apart. I said, nigga, it was supposed to fall apart. It was supposed to fall apart. But where did it fall? Does it land somewhere you could grow something else? I knew it was only three people that were going to be stars, but it was four other people that were going to be writers. Right, right. It was two other, another motherfucker that was going to be, it was different shit, but we needed that. Okay, I got you there. You know what I'm saying? So fall apart, that word, you said fall apart. I didn't mean it in the negative. I meant like- You meant more like spread his wings. Spread his wings. Yeah. And like, even though, when I said that, I mean it like, even though like, everybody, for the most part, everybody wanted to be a superstar. Everybody had the chops, everybody wasn't a superstar. And it's proven through this day. Some people's like this, guess what? This motherfucker wrote on eight different shows. We won. Right. This dude is touring in Europe. We won. Exactly. When I say fall apart, it was like, it was going to go there and then it was just going to be like, it fall like this, yo, yo, it was good. We all got it. No, let me- So that they're strong enough that they could exist independently. Independent in different areas. But they always come back together if they want to. Exactly. Leave the individual out of it and ask how much social damage is caused by any of those things and alcohol in that case. Number one. Just buy a fire. Buy a bullet. Yeah. Is how the people who make alcohol get a free ride. It's incredible to me that like, if I said to you that I was on the board of Philip Morris, you would say, Malcolm, that's pretty screwed up. Yeah. And you would be, you know, a problem with it. If I said that, oh, I'm on the board of Anheuser-Busch, you probably would hit me up for tickets to the Super Bowl. Right? Yeah. There's no- in terms of the amount of social damage, what Anheuser-Busch has created has produced a hundred times the social damage than what Philip Morris has produced. Yeah. Right? Sure. You know, so it's like, I've always puzzled about it. I don't know how it got it in our heads. Like, to treat one like it's completely taboo and the other we kind of shrug. You know, there are a bunch- I was reading about this recently. How many colleges accept- not just accept alcohol advertising and sponsorship, but you go to a college football game and, you know, Bud Light will have- will be an active sponsor of the event. Will have some huge relationship with the school. This is crazy. I mean, it's crazy. Right? This is the drug that is causing so many problems for young people, particularly on campuses. And the schools are hand in glove with the manufacturers of it. Because it's socially acceptable, because they don't have to worry about repercussions. Because we give it a- we give it a- and in a way that they would never have- Marlboro. Marlboro. Yeah. That would be- oh my God, people would pick it. Yeah. Whereas it's not- you know, I don't know. That's true. It's a strange kind of- We're so messy. People are so messy. And that is a very good example of how messy we are. Yeah, he's nuts. He's the best. He's just funny. It's just a way to live. He made Norton and Florentine introduce him like they go into a Subway sandwich shop and they'd be like, ladies and gentlemen, avert your eyes. The legend is coming in. And then he would like walk in to a Subway sandwich shop. That's hilarious. Yeah. That'd be a great show. You have just dice on the road and someone announces him like that everywhere he goes. Da da da da da da da. Yeah. Peasants, please. The legend. Clear the floor. He banned me from his house for a year once. What'd you do? I didn't do anything. Did you dose his kids? I did not dose his kids. No? I would never do that. Mostly I'm scared of dice. He said he had a gun in his desk drawer and I was like, no you don't, no way. You would never have him run your kids because I do. And he said he'd bet me $200. And I'm like, you know I don't have $200 so I can't make that bet. And he goes, all right, well I do. And then he's all left his thing and goes, don't look in there. And I'm like, I'm not going to look in there. He goes, don't fucking look in there. And I won't. And then Freddy Soto fucking fuck face Freddy Soto. Fuck face Freddy Soto. Told him, I was just in the office, told him that I went into his drawer. He said I was rifling through his drawers and dice like that's it. It's a lie. It was a lie by Freddy Soto and dice like you're out, you're banned from the house. Couldn't go to Barbies anymore. Yeah. I was rifling through his affairs, which never happened. Dice, I never did that. I was in the room. Why do you think Freddy did that? Well, of course, because of that reason. Because he's got me banned. He wanted to get you banned. Yeah. Why do you think Freddy would want to get you banned? I think he was jealous of my upbringing and how I had a foosball table at home. And it always bothered him that he didn't have that growing up in Texas. Interesting. Maybe interesting. I'm not sure. But the point is I never write for those affairs. But how many people in the urban low lower income, you know, impoverished population suffering from PTSD who don't can't afford to go to Johns Hopkins to spend tens of thousands of dollars to have a clinical treatment. I think this democratizes the use of psilocybin and microdosing that could be a benefit across our society. And then what I'm proposing is you stack it with niacin. And the reason why you stack it with niacin is you take one-tenth of a gram of psilocybin kivensis, microdose, you add 100 to 200 milligrams of niacin. Now if someone tries to get high by taking 10 times as much, they'll have like two grams of niacin. This is flushing niacin, vitamin B3. And that flushing niacin will give you such an irritable reaction of skin itching of people who've taken vitamin B. They know this. So it becomes the antabuse for microdosing. But moreover, it excites the nerves at the end of the peripheral nervous system. And neuropathies oftentimes present themselves as the deadening of the fingertips of the nerves of the fingertips and toes. And it's also a vasodilator. So there's three attributes of stacking niacin with psilocybin mushrooms that prevents abuse, becomes the antabuse. It dilates the blood vessels to deliver the neurogenic benefits of psilocybin to the endpoints of the peripheral nervous system and the central nervous system. And it then also excites the nerve endings. So I think those three reasons this could – I hope to see in the future psilocybin mushrooms being over-the-counter vitamins approved by the FDA, stacked with niacin, that allows for the universality of use. Jamie pointed this out, that there's a congressman and he released a series of tweets. And the first letter of all these tweets, if you put them all together, it says Epstein didn't kill himself. Or did not kill himself. Is that what it is? Yeah, I think it's didn't. He did – I'll pull it out. Yeah, how do you do the apostrophe? Yeah, he should have gone with did not. Starting here with that evidence of a link in there. Rep. Paul Gosser. What are the odds that this guy did this accidentally really small, right? That's kind of like one of those monkeys-typing Shakespeare things. Yeah. Yeah, I don't think it could work. And the thing is he did it backwards, right? So you didn't see what the puzzle was until the last tweet. Who caught that? Because the last tweet is an E. I got a tweet from someone about 35 minutes ago that – I don't know if there's a bunch of people online paying attention to it or what, but someone alerted me and a few other people of it. Does he have an image of that fucking – that crazy mask? Is that in his shit too? Okay. He's a weirdo. That might be the H of it. He's got the – Not until that was November 1st. The V mask? Yes. What is that mask again? V for Vendetta? What was it representative of something – It's the Guy Fox mask. Yes, that's right. Yeah. So this guy is – he's thinking along alternative lines of thought, but that is really an interesting way of saying it. Alphabetry, that's called. Yeah. Just making a bunch of tweets. Don't ever address it. Just leave it there. Walk away. Just leave it there. Yeah. Lewis Carroll was famous for that. Was he? Yeah. That was one of – he did a lot of sort of tricks with words. Did you read the book Go to Le Chirbach? No. Yeah. There's a whole bunch of stuff in there about people who used – who put puzzles in text. You know, it's kind of a thing that people did, I guess, back more in the 18th century and before. Well, this Epstein case is probably the most blatant example of a public murder of a crew crucial witness I've ever seen in my entire life or anybody's ever seen. And the minimal amount of outrage about this, the minimal amount of cover, it's fucking fascinating. I mean, what's amazing to me just as somebody who works in the media is that this was shaping up to be the biggest news story in history. Yes. And the instant he died or was died or however you want to call it, the story just fell off the face of the earth. It's like nobody's doing anything about it. And I don't 100% understand that. I mean, I get it why that's happening, but it's just amazing. Well –
