We need an equal word to come on son. Ooh. To girls. You know. I mean sister works. We need an equal word. I'm a big fan of the friendly like come on help. You know just in the friendly way. Not in the negative way. I like calling girls hookers. Ooh. But in a fun way. Like when girls yell shit out in the audience, I'm like settle down hooker. But it's all love. It's not like in a mean way. I will say I feel like you're the only person, the only person. I mean that and I don't say that lately. That I'm, I can laugh when you're like yeah bitch. Well listen. You and I have been friends. You and I have been friends. I know. I know. You and I have been friends for almost a decade. I know. Fuck. Oh my god. It felt like. Yeah. Jesus. We met in 2011. Aww. Right we did that end of the world show in 2012. That was fun. We did a show. It didn't end apparently. We did it. We did it. It was fun. I know. Cheers. Honey honey Joey Diaz Doug Sandholt and I did a show at the Wiltern in Los Angeles on December 21st, 2012. That was the Terrence McKenna thing. The end of the Mayan calendar. Right. Terrence McKenna. He had a computer. This is how deep that motherfucker ran. He got so high. He came up with an algorithm based on the E Ching that was mapping out time. It wasn't the Mayan calendar? It was. It was both. Oh, okay. Novelty is based on novelty. It would coincide it with this is what happened He came up with a thing called novelty theory and novelty theory. He based off the each thing the each thing which is It's a divination system a Chinese divination system and they would throw these hexagrams I believe it's hexagrams and They would indicate a certain pattern and they would try to recognize this path. Was it hexagrams? What the fuck is the chain? Anyway, they would throw these they would throw these stones It is that's great. Thank you. So it's a Chinese method of divination. It's more than a thousand years old and they were trying to conduct What McKenna believed this is what he believed the teaching really was he believed it was a map of time and that they had through some way figured out through hexagrams recognized at time Was it was a mimicable you could capture it in in hexagrams in in mathematics and geometry? It's like a string theory kind of thing almost all right and that you could come up with Some sort of a system to this thing and he called that system time wave zero and what he thought that system was he thought That was a system of recognizing novelty like new ideas creative things whether it's the internet or Internal combustion engine or the Tesla Electric car anything where it was where you could map that out and you could say okay If you looked at this as a mathematical algorithm and you saw how this was gonna play out You could almost predict patterns in this wave and where do you where do you predict this happening and that happening? And where does it end? Where does it get to a point? What's so crazy? No one knows what the fuck to do and in Terrence's life. He believed that time was December 21st 2012 and he as a matter of fact My barracuda out of 1970 barracuda my my license plate was December 2012 because I'm like if this bitch ends I'm gonna be driving around this 1970 Did you think it was gonna end I did you really did yeah, that's why we did that show together, that's it look at that Hope oh my god So much that makes me so happy 21st. I was like if I'm gonna die I'm gonna be with my favorite people on the planet like legitimately Through the countdown that's what I love there was no like It was great yeah, well it was fun it was fun It was like my favorite people or my family and my friends been yeah and to be able to do a show And I wear a fucking suit I'm like if Odin's gonna come capture me he's gonna capture Very fine David August apparel didn't Joey Diaz Do a set yes, Joey Diaz Doug Stanhope And honey, honey, that was so special I Love Stanhope as much as I'll cut my fucking pinky off for Stanhope but He's I don't see him enough. You know so whenever we gonna make an excuse to do this We're gonna do another I should tell this right now. We're gonna do another end of the world podcast at the new presidential elections so Was it November 21st? 2000 what is it like the first week the first the first week whatever it is 2020 we're gonna be at the Comedy Store. We're gonna make that shit happen We're gonna do another live podcast this time It's just gonna be me Stanhope and a couple other people we last time we got too many people November 3rd and the world or not My thought all this is like Everyone even the people at the top of government are just people We all they need to listen to we all need to listen we can work together This old this system that we're on this fucking clock that we're on it's not good for anybody Yeah, we're worried. No one's good at being wrong. No one's good at being like oh, I made a mistake I'm so sorry because you're a human and that's what we do and that's where I think there's this like Real disconnect with the people that are quote-unquote running this country. You know there's there's no room for error Shouldn't be running it that's and they know it that's why they're holding on to that spot No one should be I think they would do a better job running it if they could Exhibit human qualities and also be leaders at the same time. I agree, you know, but I think they're scared I think everybody's scared. I think when you're in a position where you're a man killer What mind mind control over giant grooves of people you you barely can keep your shit together like who are you? Are you an alien? Yeah from another fucking planet? You're not I wonder Them take me to your leader Dude remember close encounters I said they talked to people
