The Joe Rogan experience.

Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day.

0:09

Really?

0:12

Red meat?

0:13

It's unfortunate.

0:14

In any form?

0:15

You know, like, I know it's weird.

0:19

If I eat a burger, it's different if I eat a steak.

0:23

Steak is a problem?

0:24

Yeah, I don't know if my digestive system,

0:27

just like you two older fucking bust this down.

0:31

I'm 58.

0:31

I'm 58 too.

0:33

I eat mostly meat.

0:34

I don't think it's age.

0:35

What is it then?

0:37

Well, what are you eating it with?

0:39

Tito's.

0:42

We're rolling?

0:43

Tito's.

0:44

Tito's vodka?

0:45

It can't be that, right?

0:47

No.

0:47

I'm eating a steak and I wash it down.

0:50

You just eat steak with Tito's?

0:53

And I wash it down with Tito's and tonic

0:55

because it resembles H2O so much.

0:57

Sometime I get thrown off until I do it.

0:59

What?

0:59

Yeah, I think I'm better aged.

1:01

Tito's and tonic resembles water?

1:03

The look of it.

1:04

The look of it.

1:05

It's clear.

1:05

That's all that matters to you?

1:06

Yeah.

1:07

I know at some point I need to change my life.

1:12

I'm at the age now that it's like I look at certain food

1:15

and I'm like, oh my God, it looks good,

1:17

but you know you can't handle that.

1:18

I think this is when I really, really need to be in love

1:22

because I need to be with somebody that understands

1:25

when I go places and when I want to pig out,

1:27

they got to be like, he can't eat that.

1:28

He's going to be in the seat.

1:30

Oh, right.

1:30

He's going to sit up.

1:31

He's going to be thrown up.

1:32

You need a female handler.

1:33

A female handler.

1:34

They call it geriatric, like this is where I hear.

1:39

This is what the streets are saying.

1:42

Most men get to an age, it's the geriatric shit

1:45

where you just smash all the women you want to do

1:47

and everything.

1:48

Now you're going to have to worry about somebody

1:50

helping you with your pill diet,

1:51

helping you with your dietary needs and everything.

1:54

And they say that's a lot of times when men fall in love,

1:56

when they need somebody to take them to the golden ears.

1:59

Oh, when you're about to be out of here,

2:00

you need somebody to say, don't do that.

2:02

You got to mash this food up.

2:03

You got to chop it up.

2:04

But I'm having digestive issues sometimes.

2:06

With steak, huh?

2:07

It's red meat, I want to say.

2:09

And I'm a fan of it.

2:11

So if you eat like a bowl of pasta with the Tito's,

2:14

no problem?

2:15

That's not a problem.

2:16

Interesting.

2:17

But it's definitely red meat.

2:19

Red meat, I'm not sleeping.

2:20

You should go to one of those doctors

2:22

that checks people for allergies.

2:24

Voodoo doctor?

2:25

Yeah.

2:25

I don't want one of them to sound like that.

2:28

I had to date an Asian.

2:29

I mean, I had to date a Haitian chick.

2:31

They enter voodoo really, really better.

2:34

Oh, yeah.

2:34

Oh, yeah.

2:35

They stab you with pillows and shit.

2:36

You have pain in your neck.

2:40

Is there any particular reason, Joe,

2:42

and I haven't been here in a while.

2:43

Is there any particular reason

2:45

why I am doing your show

2:47

during Black History Month?

2:48

No.

2:49

You asked to come on.

2:50

You reached out to me.

2:53

I reached out to you.

2:54

You could have reached out to me in July.

2:56

I would have said yes.

2:57

I could have.

2:57

You got an open invitation.

2:58

You know that.

2:59

I have an open invitation.

3:00

But this is when,

3:01

I don't know,

3:02

I say, can I come through?

3:03

You said,

3:03

this is what you told me.

3:04

You said,

3:05

I have a guest.

3:05

And then you called back.

3:07

I don't know if Jamie said,

3:09

you know what month this is.

3:10

Right?

3:11

I don't know if he entered you.

3:12

And you called me right back.

3:13

I moved somebody.

3:14

I moved somebody for you

3:15

because I knew you were coming here

3:16

on a Monday.

3:17

I had someone booked.

3:18

Was it a Caucasian person?

3:19

I don't know.

3:20

I don't remember.

3:21

Jamie?

3:21

I don't remember.

3:22

You know it was a white man

3:23

or a black man.

3:24

No, you know what?

3:24

Did I get,

3:25

did I bump a white person for black?

3:26

It might have been

3:27

Michael Jai White

3:28

because he's here tomorrow.

3:29

Yeah.

3:29

So it was probably Michael.

3:31

I just probably moved him a day.

3:33

But I appreciate you

3:34

being accommodating

3:34

because I felt like

3:35

it was time for me to come back.

3:36

I haven't been here a while.

3:37

You can come on anytime.

3:38

I really appreciate that.

3:39

Whenever you're in town.

3:40

I hold that to be true.

3:41

Come on.

3:41

I know that's true too.

3:42

You know I love you.

3:43

Yeah.

3:43

I want some of that gum too, man.

3:45

I'm sorry.

3:45

The neuro gum?

3:46

Do we have any, Jamie?

3:47

I have some, yeah.

3:48

Yeah, that stuff's the shoot.

3:49

I know.

3:50

Whenever you say something,

3:51

it's the shit, it's the shit.

3:52

Yeah.

3:52

But what can I do about my,

3:53

I can't do anything about my diet.

3:54

Sorry.

3:55

Whoops.

3:55

I hit the mic.

3:56

Yeah, you can.

3:58

You just, you know,

4:00

you should go to a doctor

4:02

and find out if there's like,

4:03

there might be something

4:04

particularly about you

4:05

that red meat

4:07

doesn't agree with you.

4:08

But it might just be

4:09

what you're eating

4:10

with the red meat

4:11

more than the red meat itself.

4:12

You know?

4:13

That's what I would imagine.

4:14

I would imagine

4:16

it's not actually red meat.

4:17

I would imagine

4:18

it's what you're eating with it.

4:20

Might be.

4:21

And I'm going to check into it.

4:23

Because as they say in the streets,

4:25

I'm of that big age

4:27

when you have to be considerate

4:28

of a whole bunch of things.

4:29

So that's what I have to do.

4:30

I have to do that.

4:31

Do you exercise at all?

4:32

A little bit.

4:33

Usually doing sexual intercourse

4:35

is when I get most of my cardio.

4:37

Get your push-ups in?

4:38

Yeah.

4:39

And it's not as strong.

4:40

Damn, man.

4:41

You have to get,

4:43

I don't know if this

4:44

apply to everybody.

4:45

You get to an age

4:46

where you start looking

4:47

at your history

4:48

and you're like,

4:49

damn, 2000,

4:50

what was my best years?

4:51

Like right now,

4:52

I'll just give up.

4:53

You give up.

4:54

I don't put no pressure in it.

4:56

I give up.

4:57

I start asking like,

4:58

what's your shoe size is

4:59

or whatever.

4:59

I'd rather go shopping

5:00

than to really try to

5:02

pound somebody out

5:03

for three hours.

5:04

I'm at that age now

5:05

where I have,

5:06

I call it,

5:07

certain times,

5:10

like,

5:10

you gonna get to work?

5:11

I probably shouldn't

5:12

give you that gum.

5:13

That gum's gonna be

5:14

a real problem

5:15

on the microphone.

5:15

Is it?

5:16

Oh, okay.

5:17

People are gonna get annoyed

5:19

with you.

5:20

All right.

5:20

I don't know what to do.

5:21

Just chew it a little

5:23

and spit it out.

5:23

Okay.

5:24

You'll get the effects

5:25

of it pretty quickly anyway.

5:26

I'm at the age

5:28

where my best work

5:29

is like holidays.

5:30

Holidays.

5:32

I'm an animal.

5:34

Why don't you hire a trainer?

5:36

You got some money.

5:38

And what are the trainers

5:40

gonna do?

5:40

Get you in shape.

5:41

I think I need a therapist

5:42

before I get a trainer.

5:43

I mean,

5:45

you gotta take one step

5:46

at a time.

5:46

I gotta get my mind right

5:47

before I get my body right.

5:48

Wouldn't you agree?

5:49

No.

5:49

Getting your body right

5:50

will help get your mind right.

5:52

I think that's some truth to that.

5:53

I think that you may be

5:56

right about that.

5:56

Oh, 100%.

5:57

Getting your body right

5:59

fixes your mind.

6:00

Without a doubt.

6:01

But I will say,

6:02

I'm at my best.

6:03

I'm at my peak

6:03

when it's a holiday

6:05

to celebrate.

6:05

Because you're rested.

6:06

I'm rested.

6:07

It's more incentive.

6:08

Like,

6:09

if you want me

6:10

to really smash

6:11

good time,

6:12

consider it like

6:13

Valentine's Day,

6:15

Christmas,

6:16

Kwanzaa.

6:19

You can get seven good days.

6:20

But to expect me

6:22

to be at my best

6:24

on just a regular Tuesday

6:25

or a Wednesday

6:26

is not gonna happen.

6:27

I need more incentive.

6:28

Well, it's also drinking.

6:29

You like to drink.

6:30

Why would you say that?

6:31

I know why you would say that.

6:32

Come on, I've seen you.

6:33

All right.

6:34

I've been with you.

6:35

I've drank with you.

6:36

Okay, then that's a good point.

6:37

All right.

6:38

There's cigarettes.

6:39

You was there.

6:40

You brought a pack with you.

6:41

Right?

6:42

There's that.

6:43

Those are not good.

6:45

But you used to smoke.

6:47

I saw one of your podcasts.

6:48

I forget how you explained

6:52

what made you

6:53

not want to smoke anymore.

6:55

What was that?

6:55

Well,

6:56

cigarettes are

6:58

a cognitive enhancer.

6:59

They are.

7:00

It's a fact.

7:00

Nicotine is a cognitive enhancer.

7:03

There's no doubt about it.

7:04

It's a fact.

7:04

And it does things

7:06

to your mind.

7:07

It stimulates your mind

7:09

in a way

7:09

that very few other things do.

7:11

That's why

7:12

a lot of intellectuals,

7:13

a lot of professors

7:14

use nicotine.

7:15

A lot of academics

7:17

use nicotine.

7:18

A lot of people

7:19

that rely on their brain

7:20

use it.

7:20

A lot of writers

7:21

use nicotine.

7:22

And there's different

7:23

delivery methods

7:24

that have different effects.

7:25

Unfortunately,

7:26

smoking has a very potent

7:27

instantaneous effect.

7:28

And that's why people like it.

7:31

But it comes with a cost.

7:32

Right.

7:32

The physical health,

7:34

you know,

7:35

repercussions of cigarettes

7:37

are well known.

7:38

Yeah.

7:38

Not good.

7:39

And also,

7:39

you're smoking Marlboro's.

7:41

We had a doctor

7:42

on the other day

7:43

that thinks that

7:45

regular cigarettes

7:47

are not nearly,

7:48

like American spirits

7:49

are not nearly as bad

7:50

for you as these.

7:52

I understand that

7:52

they have some type of,

7:53

the American spirits,

7:55

I'm not even,

7:55

like, advocating

7:56

for what you shouldn't smoke.

7:58

But they say

7:59

that's supposed to be

8:00

the most natural

8:01

if there's such a thing.

8:01

It's just tobacco,

8:02

I believe.

8:03

Is that a fact?

8:04

Nope.

8:05

No?

8:05

What's in there

8:06

besides tobacco?

8:06

I don't know.

8:07

I've been trying.

8:07

I don't know

8:09

how this lawsuit ended up,

8:10

but they got sued

8:11

for the advertising

8:12

of saying

8:12

it's additive free

8:13

and all that.

8:14

Oh, did they?

8:15

Yeah.

8:15

What are the additives?

8:17

I've not decided.

8:17

Well, let's look into it.

8:19

I've tried to look.

8:20

I mean, there's a big,

8:21

here's, like,

8:21

the website

8:22

about the lawsuit.

8:23

What's the accusation?

8:24

That, uh,

8:25

here you go.

8:26

It's on the screen.

8:26

Here we go.

8:27

Lawsuit questions

8:29

natural claims.

8:30

Natural American spirit

8:31

cigarettes are made

8:32

by Santa Fe

8:33

natural tobacco company

8:34

and parent company

8:35

Reynolds America.

8:35

R.J. Reynolds,

8:37

they fuck with you.

8:38

American spirits

8:39

has been sold

8:40

in the U.S.

8:40

since 1985,

8:41

under the original name,

8:43

Original American Spirit.

8:44

Duh-duh-duh-duh-duh.

8:45

Organic.

8:46

Oh, you got us.

8:47

You fucks.

8:48

Um,

8:49

unadulterated tobacco.

8:51

Sue claims

8:52

such marketing language

8:53

has endeared

8:54

American spirit cigarettes

8:55

to a core group

8:56

of smokers

8:56

who believe

8:56

that the natural tobacco

8:58

in the cigarette

8:58

makes them

8:59

a healthier alternative.

9:00

Despite cigarette sales

9:01

declining 17%

9:03

between 2009-2014,

9:04

American spirit sales

9:06

have increased

9:07

86%

9:08

over the same period.

9:09

Huzzah.

9:10

A regulatory filing

9:12

on the Reynolds

9:13

American website

9:14

states,

9:14

American spirit

9:15

is the leading

9:15

super premium cigarette brand

9:17

that is a top 10

9:18

best-selling cigarette brand

9:19

priced higher

9:20

than most other

9:20

competitive brands

9:21

and is differentiated

9:22

from key competitors

9:23

through its use

9:24

of all-natural

9:24

additive-free tobacco

9:26

including styles

9:28

made with organic tobacco.

9:29

But words like

9:30

all-natural

9:31

and additive-free

9:32

on American spirits

9:33

labeling

9:33

the suit says

9:34

belies the fact

9:35

that Santa Fe

9:36

Reynolds adds

9:38

ammonia

9:39

to their cigarettes

9:40

to maximize

9:41

the amount of nicotine

9:42

a smoker receives

9:43

with the result

9:44

that American spirits

9:45

contain significantly

9:46

more free-based nicotine

9:47

than other major

9:48

cigarette brands.

9:49

So you're actually

9:50

getting high off

9:51

of cigarettes?

9:52

100%.

9:53

I get high off them

9:54

because I don't

9:54

smoke them all the time.

9:55

So I only smoke

9:56

if I smoke

9:57

a couple cigarettes a week

9:58

it's a lot.

9:59

And Newport's

10:00

probably like

10:01

10 times worse

10:01

than menthol cigarettes

10:03

probably 10 times

10:04

worse for your body.

10:06

I was talking

10:06

to Cat about that.

10:07

Cat Williams?

10:08

Yeah, I was asking him

10:09

like why

10:09

do you like menthols?

10:11

And he's like

10:12

he was speaking

10:14

on behalf

10:14

of the black community.

10:15

He said

10:16

we like things

10:17

that are more potent.

10:18

I believe

10:20

that that's

10:20

possible part of it

10:21

but I also believe

10:22

that back in the day

10:23

and this supply

10:23

I don't know

10:24

if I talk about this

10:24

it was certain brands

10:26

that targeted

10:26

certain communities

10:27

just for the loyalty

10:28

of it.

10:29

And I think

10:30

Newport's was targeting

10:31

I don't know

10:31

if it was a situation

10:32

when Newport came out

10:33

they were spending

10:34

more ad money

10:35

with advertising

10:36

and everything

10:36

because I don't know

10:37

if I shared this story

10:38

with you

10:38

but Pepsi

10:40

was a company

10:41

that did that

10:42

where they targeted

10:42

the black community

10:43

so I think

10:44

even though

10:45

I understand

10:45

we said more potent

10:46

but I think

10:47

it was something

10:47

that was in our community

10:49

whether that was

10:50

like cheaper prices

10:51

or whatever

10:51

and I think

10:52

it's generation

10:52

and generation

10:53

like you need

10:54

to do this

10:54

because black people

10:55

did this

10:55

because it was cheaper

10:56

I think

10:56

that that might

10:57

be the case

10:57

with Newport

10:58

probably both

10:58

what is the

10:59

the menthol effect

11:01

what is the

11:02

what is the difference

11:03

in the way

11:04

when I smoke menthol

11:05

I sound like

11:06

Cat Williams

11:06

and that's

11:07

they've ruined

11:08

that's one of the reasons

11:09

I had to downgrade

11:10

to like

11:10

some people think

11:11

that I started

11:12

smoking Marlboro Lights

11:13

because I started

11:13

dating white women

11:14

which is more

11:15

appealing

11:16

unless you date

11:17

a white woman

11:18

from the midwest

11:18

then she probably

11:19

smoking Newports

11:20

and drinking Pepsis

11:21

and Coca-Cola

11:21

just like you

11:22

but I got so many

11:25

bad habits

11:29

that I need to change

11:31

here we go

11:32

our sponsor

11:33

our AI sponsor

11:34

perplexity says

11:35

the menthol affected

11:36

cigarettes come from

11:36

the chemical menthol

11:37

itself which is added

11:38

as a flavoring

11:39

and a sensory agent

11:40

to the tobacco

11:41

menthol is naturally

11:42

found in peppermint

11:43

and other mint plants

11:44

can also be made

11:45

synthetically in a lab

11:46

menthol activates

11:48

cold sensitive

11:48

nerve receptors

11:49

in the mouth

11:50

throat and airways

11:51

creating a cooling

11:52

sensation

11:52

when you inhale smoke

11:54

it's a mild

11:55

anesthetic

11:57

numbing effect

11:58

that reduces pain

11:59

and irritation

12:00

from hot harsh

12:01

cigarette smoke

12:01

making it feel

12:02

smoother

12:03

menthol can suppress

12:04

the cough reflex

12:05

and dull early

12:06

warning signs

12:09

of airway irritation

12:11

which make it easier

12:12

to inhale more deeply

12:13

and more often

12:14

menthol reduces

12:16

the perceived harshness

12:17

of nicotine

12:18

and smoke

12:18

the minty taste

12:20

and smell

12:21

and smell

12:21

plus the cooling

12:21

feel act

12:22

as a pleasant

12:23

sensory cues

12:24

that many smokers

12:25

come to associate

12:26

with satisfaction

12:27

and craving

12:27

menthol can alter

12:29

nicotine metabolism

12:30

and the way nicotine

12:31

acts on brain

12:32

receptors

12:32

which may increase

12:34

nicotine's

12:35

reinforcing addictive

12:36

effects

12:36

in short

12:37

the menthol effect

12:38

is not from nicotine

12:39

but from added menthol

12:40

which cools

12:41

and numbs the airways

12:42

masks irritation

12:43

and can make cigarettes

12:45

feel smoother

12:45

and more addictive

12:47

without making them

12:48

many safer

12:49

so menthol cigarettes

12:50

appeal to black people

12:52

because it's a cool cigarette

12:54

it's cool

12:55

that's what

12:55

it makes so much sense

12:57

why the brand

12:57

cool cigarette

12:58

because it makes

12:59

that makes sense

13:00

that's why they called

13:01

it cool I bet

13:01

damn what white people

13:02

do to destroy

13:03

my community

13:04

man

13:04

destroy everybody

13:05

yeah

13:06

they don't give a fuck

13:07

about anybody

13:07

cool ain't cool

13:08

half ain't wide

13:10

body ain't soul

13:12

mild ain't bold

13:13

cool ain't cool

13:15

newport is

13:16

oh

13:17

because that was like

13:18

a take on cools

13:19

because people used

13:20

to smoke cools

13:21

do cools exist anymore

13:22

in jail

13:23

only in jail

13:24

I think that

13:25

I don't know

13:26

what the ratio

13:28

what cigarette

13:30

gives you more money

13:31

in a dice game

13:32

but whenever I hear

13:33

people telling war stories

13:34

they like

13:35

man

13:35

I got a pack

13:37

I got a carton of cools

13:38

for a bag of Doritos

13:39

or something

13:39

but the value

13:41

of a cool cigarette

13:42

is higher

13:43

in prison

13:44

isn't it crazy

13:45

that they give you

13:46

cigarettes in prison

13:47

that's crazy

13:48

it's like the only drug

13:49

you can get in prison

13:50

yeah and those

13:50

you can't get alcohol

13:51

right

13:52

well you can get hooch

13:54

well you can't get alcohol

13:55

but they make their own

13:56

but it's all

13:57

under the table

13:59

yeah

13:59

but I think

14:00

in prison

14:01

the things that hold

14:03

the most value

14:04

I think it's

14:05

tang

14:06

right

14:08

it's that

14:08

artificial

14:09

flavored

14:10

drink you do

14:11

I think that

14:12

it's

14:12

astronaut shit

14:13

yep

14:13

cigarettes

14:14

Doritos

14:15

I heard honey buns

14:17

hold the value

14:19

and I heard candy bar

14:20

but candy bars

14:21

you gotta be particular

14:22

with that

14:23

because if you offer

14:24

this is what I hear

14:25

if you offer a person

14:27

a certain amount

14:28

of candy bars

14:29

then what I understand

14:31

is that you're inviting

14:32

them to have sexual

14:32

intercourse with you

14:33

interesting

14:34

yeah

14:34

candy bars

14:35

yeah

14:36

like you

14:36

I don't think

14:37

do you want some candy bars

14:38

and that's like code

14:39

yeah

14:39

it's like

14:40

like pizza gate

14:40

like pizza

14:41

mr. good bar

14:42

for this good bar

14:43

oh okay

14:44

I think

14:44

this is only

14:45

not that I've had

14:46

those experiences Joe

14:47

but this is the times

14:48

that I frequent

14:49

the streets

14:49

which aren't anymore

14:51

not too often

14:52

these are the stories

14:53

that they tell

14:54

interesting

14:55

yeah

14:55

and these facts

14:56

you don't need them

14:58

for anything

14:58

but for barbershop talk

15:00

but these are the

15:01

conversations that I have

15:02

that I've heard people have

15:04

it's interesting

15:04

how different brands

15:06

market to different people

15:07

and I mean

15:09

how do they figure it out

15:10

like what do they work

15:11

like

15:12

that's where it's evil

15:14

right

15:15

like advertising itself

15:16

I don't have a problem with

15:18

but I

15:19

there is something weird

15:21

about deceptive advertising

15:24

that's legal

15:25

you know

15:25

well they do

15:26

a history

15:28

on what

15:28

people like

15:30

I was watching

15:30

or reading a story

15:31

about

15:32

the people

15:33

that started

15:34

Forever 21

15:35

I forget what the brand was

15:36

it was some Koreans

15:37

from South Korea

15:38

not to be confused

15:39

with Kim Jong Un

15:40

and those people

15:41

but they were tailors

15:43

of something

15:43

they started a small boutique

15:45

and what they would do

15:46

was they would have

15:47

these clothing

15:48

pieces of clothes

15:50

and they would

15:50

really pay

15:52

particular attention

15:53

to what colors

15:55

people like

15:56

what was

15:57

selling the most

15:59

whatever

15:59

and that's what they buy

16:00

and one of the things

16:01

that made Forever 21

16:02

so popular

16:03

because they had

16:03

really

16:04

the clothes

16:05

weren't expensive

16:06

but they was

16:08

turning them over

16:08

so quick

16:09

you know

16:09

so people do

16:10

do case studies

16:12

and see what people

16:12

attracted to

16:14

I know

16:15

with

16:16

with black people

16:17

you put lemon pepper

16:19

on anything

16:20

it's going to go

16:21

out the roof

16:22

you can do

16:22

lemon pepper

16:23

chicken wings

16:24

lemon pepper

16:24

french fries

16:25

anything lemon pepper

16:26

they're going to go

16:27

I don't know

16:27

who started

16:28

the whole lemon pepper

16:29

craze

16:29

but you lemon pepper

16:31

anything

16:31

black people

16:31

are going to buy it

16:32

that's interesting

16:33

how white people

16:34

are associated

16:34

with very bland foods

16:36

you know

16:38

macaroni cheese

16:39

mashed potatoes

16:41

mayonnaise

16:41

and you know why

16:42

you're connected

16:43

with that blandness

16:43

because of the way

16:44

you pronounced it

16:45

macaroni and cheese

16:47

you'd never

16:47

ever

16:48

say

16:49

if you tell somebody

16:51

if you say

16:51

and you would be able

16:53

to be invited

16:54

to the cookout

16:54

Joe

16:54

you know

16:55

people like you

16:56

if you say

16:58

hey guys

16:59

I'm coming to the cookout

17:00

right

17:01

and I'm bringing

17:02

macaroni and cheese

17:04

you're going to get

17:05

uninvited to the cookout

17:06

how should I say

17:07

mac and cheese

17:08

mac and cheese

17:09

yeah you can't say

17:10

macaroni and cheese

17:11

nobody ever does that

17:12

they would look at you

17:14

as a spy

17:15

you would get invited

17:16

and be uninvited

17:17

well I'm a different

17:18

type of white person

17:19

because I'm Italian

17:19

and we're associated

17:20

with spicy food

17:21

very strong flavors

17:23

yeah but

17:25

it's a different

17:25

like Italian people

17:27

don't like bland food

17:28

they like very spicy

17:29

very flavorful food

17:31

you're not going to say

17:31

I'm bringing

17:31

baked ziti

17:32

to the barbecue

17:33

you'd be like

17:34

I'm bringing ziti

17:34

right

17:35

yeah I would say

17:36

baked ziti

17:37

yeah because there's

17:37

different kinds of ziti

17:38

you know

17:39

there's ziti that you bake

17:40

and then the ziti

17:41

that you just boil

17:41

and put you know

17:42

marinara sauce on

17:43

there's different kinds of ziti

17:45

but I will say this

17:45

as much as you know

17:47

community make fun of

17:49

white people

17:51

and their lack of seasoning

17:53

that can save your life

17:56

lack of seasoning

17:57

can save your life

17:58

yeah

17:58

how so

17:58

when you think about

18:00

you look at somebody

18:01

one of the most

18:02

country

18:03

home cooked soul food spot

18:07

the one ingredient

18:08

that's in everything

18:10

that you taste

18:11

right off the rip

18:12

is salt

18:12

how good is salt

18:13

for you

18:13

then why do we think

18:15

salt is high blood pressure

18:16

if you feel a little off

18:17

it's okay

18:18

it's February

18:19

everybody feels a little off

18:20

in February

18:21

it's darker

18:22

it's colder

18:23

you probably already gave up

18:24

on some new year's resolutions

18:25

but you don't have to wait

18:27

till spring

18:27

to get yourself right again

18:28

it all starts with

18:29

making small changes

18:30

to your routine

18:31

and one of those

18:32

is AG1

18:33

it's not some

18:35

big dramatic reset

18:36

it's one small thing

18:37

that you can do

18:38

every morning

18:39

to keep consistent

18:40

when everything else

18:41

is chaos

18:42

one scoop

18:43

done

18:43

AG1 can help support

18:45

your energy

18:46

your gut health

18:47

and can support you

18:48

through the darker evenings

18:50

it gives that

18:51

foundational support

18:52

from morning to night

18:53

and it all comes down

18:54

to getting your daily nutrition

18:56

there's more than 75 ingredients

salt is an essential mineral

19:29

you need salt

19:30

to survive

19:31

salt is not the problem

19:32

they associate salt

19:33

with high blood pressure

19:34

salt with this

19:35

it's not true

19:36

it's bullshit

19:37

what type of salt

19:39

is it different salt

19:39

is it like

19:40

no

19:40

salt's not bad for you

19:42

well first of all

19:43

there's iodized salt

19:44

which is actually good for you

19:45

because it contains iodine

19:47

they add iodine to it

19:48

which is good for you

19:49

but salt is not a bad thing

19:52

I mean you shouldn't have

19:53

too much salt

19:54

look if you eat enough salt

19:56

Joe you can't be the president

19:57

to educate me with this

19:58

so all of these years

20:00

it's a

20:01

these people getting

20:02

their toes chopped off

20:03

that's not why

20:05

that's not why

20:06

if you're getting diabetes

20:07

it's usually from sugar

20:08

okay

20:09

you know there's been a lot

20:10

of misinformation

20:11

that's spread

20:12

because of

20:14

actual scientists

20:15

that were bribed

20:17

by the sugar industry

20:19

so the sugar industry

20:20

they paid a bunch

20:21

of Harvard scientists

20:22

it was Harvard right

20:23

I believe it was

20:25

they didn't even give them

20:26

a lot of money

20:26

was it the 1950s

20:28

or 1960s Jamie

20:29

do you remember

20:29

so this has all been

20:32

outed now

20:33

but what they did was

20:34

they tried to associate

20:36

saturated fat

20:37

and foods with saturated fat

20:40

with being responsible

20:41

for heart disease

20:41

and they did that

20:43

to try to get the blame

20:44

off of sugar

20:45

because sugar

20:46

is fucking terrible for you

20:48

it's terrible

20:48

in basically every way

20:50

especially added sugar

20:51

so why are all of these

20:52

diseases that we speak of

20:53

are more

20:54

more

20:55

happening

20:57

in the black community

20:59

than in the white community

21:00

it's diet

21:00

it's 100%

21:02

it's sugar

21:02

processed food

21:03

it's diet

21:04

it's sugar

21:05

it's sugary drinks

21:07

it's the amount of sugar

21:08

like if you

21:09

say if you drink

21:10

like a

21:10

one liter Pepsi

21:12

the amount of sugar

21:14

that is

21:14

okay let's find that out

21:15

how much sugar

21:16

is in a one liter Pepsi

21:17

if you drink several

21:19

these a day

21:20

one of them

21:21

I believe

21:21

is more sugar

21:22

than you're ever

21:22

supposed to have

21:23

in a day

21:23

Pepsi

21:24

is the one

21:25

and that's why

21:25

well it could be

21:26

Coca-Cola

21:26

could be Pepsi

21:27

Mountain Dew

21:28

pick your poison

21:29

I think it's 100%

21:31

Pepsi

21:31

well Pepsi

21:32

is I don't know

21:33

does Pepsi have more

21:34

sugar than Coca-Cola

21:35

I don't know

21:36

you know Coca-Cola

21:38

is one of the only

21:39

things that's still

21:40

flavored with

21:41

cocaine leaf

21:41

sugar content

21:43

115

21:44

123 grams

21:46

in a one liter

21:47

bottle

21:47

that's a crazy

21:49

amount of sugar

21:49

25 teaspoons

21:51

35 sugar cubes

21:53

god damn

21:54

that's 130%

21:56

138%

21:57

of the recommended

21:58

daily value

21:59

of sugar

21:59

that's

22:01

that's where

22:01

people are getting

22:02

type 2 diabetes

22:03

they're getting it

22:04

from excess sugar

22:04

specifically

22:05

excess sugar

22:07

like in a liquid

22:08

form

22:09

your body does

22:10

not know

22:10

what the fuck

22:11

to do with that

22:11

because nowhere

22:12

in nature

22:12

do you get

22:13

sugar in a liquid

22:14

form like that

22:15

like even

22:16

orange juice

22:17

like people think

22:17

orange juice

22:18

is good for you

22:19

it's not

22:19

like drinking

22:21

orange juice

22:21

yeah you're gonna

22:22

get some vitamin D

22:23

but you're also

22:23

gonna vitamin C

22:24

rather but you're

22:25

also gonna get

22:25

a gigantic dose

22:27

of sugar

22:28

that has no fiber

22:29

in it

22:29

but is it a different

22:30

type of sugar

22:31

in fruits and

22:31

vegetables than

22:32

what you get

22:32

off the counter

22:33

you get fructose

22:34

rather than

22:35

high fructose

22:36

corn syrup

22:37

you know

22:38

sugar from fruit

22:40

is the best sugar

22:41

for you

22:41

because it's

22:42

attached fiber

22:43

and that's

22:44

that's a slow

22:44

release sugar

22:45

like if you eat

22:46

an apple

22:46

and apples

22:47

aren't bad

22:47

for you

22:47

it's a natural

22:48

way that your

22:49

body consumes

22:49

sugar

22:50

but there's

22:50

apples were

22:51

bad for Adam

22:52

I don't even

22:54

know if it was

22:55

an apple

22:55

it was a fruit

22:56

it was a fruit

22:58

from the tree

22:58

of knowledge

22:59

the tree

23:00

it was an apple

23:00

it was an apple

23:03

but it wasn't

23:03

an apple tree

23:04

what specifically

23:05

does the bible

23:06

refer to

23:07

as the fruit

23:08

Adam and Eve

23:08

Adam

23:09

you know the truth

23:09

what

23:10

Eve never talked

23:12

to God

23:12

Adam talked

23:14

God

23:14

Adam told

23:15

God

23:16

not to

23:16

eat the fruit

23:17

there's nowhere

23:18

in the bible

23:19

does it say

23:19

that Adam

23:20

went and told

23:21

Eve

23:21

this is why

23:22

we should start

23:23

not just shutting

23:24

women down

23:24

to listening to

23:25

him

23:26

it all

23:28

starts

23:28

Genesis does not

23:29

specifically

23:30

specify rather

23:31

what kind of

23:32

fruit Adam ate

23:33

only that it

23:34

calls it fruit

23:34

from the tree

23:35

of knowledge

23:36

of good and evil

23:37

yeah so it's

23:38

not necessarily

23:39

an apple

23:40

we call it

23:41

an apple

23:41

the text

23:43

never names

23:44

the species

23:44

apple fig

23:46

etc

23:46

the Hebrew word

23:47

is peri

23:48

a general term

23:49

meaning fruit

23:49

without a botanical

23:50

detail

23:51

where the apple

23:52

idea came from

23:53

over time

23:54

Jewish and Christian

23:54

interpreters

23:55

proposed many

23:56

candidates

23:56

including fig

23:57

grape

23:58

pomegranate

23:59

citron

23:59

and others

24:00

now common

24:01

ideas that an

24:02

apple

24:02

developed later

24:03

in European

24:04

tradition

24:05

helped by

24:06

wordplay

24:07

in Latin

24:07

and Old

24:08

French

24:08

where the

24:08

words evil

24:09

and apple

24:10

or fruit

24:10

sounded

24:11

or were

24:12

spelled

24:12

similarly

24:13

so it's

24:14

not necessarily

24:14

an apple

24:15

I really don't

24:16

know what to

24:16

believe

24:17

but I feel

24:17

like I get

24:18

so much

24:18

more information

24:19

when I come

24:19

here

24:19

I don't know

24:21

if people

24:21

understand that

24:22

well the crazy

24:22

thing is that

24:23

I mean I

24:24

found this out

24:25

recently because

24:25

I've actually

24:26

been reading

24:26

the Bible

24:27

that there's

24:28

no reference

24:29

whatsoever

24:30

to Adam

24:31

telling Eve

24:32

you're not

24:33

supposed to eat

24:33

the fruit

24:34

from the plant

24:35

with the

24:36

knowledge of

24:37

good and evil

24:37

I never knew

24:38

that

24:39

yeah

24:39

I just knew

24:40

it was a white

24:41

woman with an

24:42

apple and his

24:43

shit got fucked

24:43

up after that

24:44

what happened

24:44

was God

24:45

created Adam

24:46

this is what

24:46

Genesis says

24:47

God created

24:47

Adam and then

24:48

told Adam

24:49

go and name

24:49

all the animals

24:50

and then

24:51

when he was

24:52

done with that

24:52

Adam made

24:53

Eve

24:53

but he never

24:55

said

24:56

it never

24:57

says in the

24:58

Bible

24:58

Adam told

24:59

Eve

24:59

do not

25:00

eat the

25:01

apple

25:01

who's

25:02

giving us

25:02

this misinformation

25:04

well

25:05

the problem

25:05

with the

25:05

Bible

25:06

is

25:07

first of all

25:08

that it was

25:08

an oral

25:09

tradition forever

25:10

so it was an

25:11

oral tradition

25:11

for a long time

25:13

before it was

25:13

ever written down

25:14

that it was

25:14

written down

25:15

in a bunch

25:15

of ancient

25:16

languages

25:16

it was written

25:17

down in

25:18

ancient Hebrew

25:18

it was written

25:19

down in

25:19

Aramaic

25:20

Aramaic

25:21

and then

25:21

when you

25:22

translate

25:23

ancient Hebrew

25:24

to

25:24

first

25:25

they translated

25:26

it to

25:26

Latin

25:26

and then

25:27

they translated

25:28

it to

25:28

Greek

25:29

and all

25:29

these

25:29

other

25:29

maybe

25:30

Greek

25:30

first

25:30

I forget

25:31

which one

25:31

was first

25:32

but either

25:32

way

25:32

the

25:33

translations

25:34

miss a lot

25:35

of the

25:36

language

25:37

it's a very

25:37

complicated

25:38

ancient Hebrew

25:39

is a very

25:39

complicated language

25:40

and numbers

25:42

double as letters

25:43

in ancient Hebrew

25:44

so ancient Hebrew

25:44

doesn't have

25:45

numbers

25:46

all their words

25:47

have a numerical

25:48

value to them

25:49

what do you think

25:49

makes people

25:51

so connected

25:52

to the Bible

25:54

is it because

25:56

of wanting

25:57

to believe

25:57

in something

25:58

in writing

25:59

definitely

26:00

wanting

26:00

to believe

26:01

in something

26:01

and then

26:02

specifically

26:03

if you look

26:04

at like

26:04

the teachings

26:05

of Jesus

26:05

Christ

26:06

if you follow

26:06

them

26:07

I think

26:07

it'll lead

26:08

to a better

26:09

life

26:09

I think

26:09

it makes

26:10

you a better

26:10

person

26:10

makes you

26:11

a better

26:11

member

26:11

of the

26:12

community

26:12

it reinforces

26:14

community

26:15

it's like

26:16

a really good

26:17

way to live

26:18

your life

26:18

so I think

26:19

the people

26:19

that live

26:20

that way

26:20

that actually

26:20

live that

26:21

way

26:21

they're better

26:22

examples

26:22

of human

26:23

beings

26:23

so that

26:24

makes it

26:25

reinforced

26:25

but it's

26:26

also people

26:27

there's a lot

26:28

of other

26:28

religions

26:28

that people

26:29

believe in

26:29

that don't

26:30

have those

26:30

aspects to

26:31

them

26:31

people want

26:32

to believe

26:33

things

26:33

people want

26:34

to believe

26:34

in things

26:34

even if

26:35

you like

26:35

like Scientology

26:36

people deeply

26:37

believe in

26:38

Scientology

26:38

and we know

26:39

it was written

26:40

by a science

26:41

fiction author

26:41

who was a bad

26:43

science fiction

26:43

author

26:44

L. Ron Hubbard

26:45

wrote some

26:45

terrible books

26:46

like that guy

26:47

would just bang

26:48

books out

26:48

he never rewrote

26:49

shit

26:49

everything was a

26:50

first draft

26:51

just clank

26:52

he wrote more

26:53

fiction than any

26:54

human being

26:54

that's ever lived

26:55

and they also

26:57

wrote Scientology

26:58

and people

26:58

believe in it

26:59

I do believe

26:59

I think people

27:01

like you say

27:02

people want

27:03

to if your

27:04

life is fucked

27:05

up

27:05

they want

27:05

to be able

27:06

to say

27:06

okay this

27:07

is my savior

27:07

if I believe

27:08

in this

27:08

it's going

27:09

to get me

27:09

on the right

27:09

track

27:10

100%

27:10

and then with

27:11

that

27:11

with these

27:12

like

27:12

Drewski

27:13

just did

27:13

a skit

27:14

that went

27:15

viral

27:15

right

27:15

and it

27:16

was like

27:16

he was

27:16

making fun

27:17

of the

27:17

megachurches

27:18

and everything

27:18

but these

27:20

churches

27:20

like they

27:21

give these

27:21

people

27:22

something to

27:23

believe in

27:24

make them feel

27:24

better

27:25

and they charge

27:25

people

27:26

do you think

27:26

that there should

27:27

be a separation

27:27

if I

27:28

inspire you

27:29

if my

27:30

writings

27:31

or my

27:31

speeches

27:32

inspire you

27:33

to want

27:33

to do

27:34

something

27:34

and change

27:35

your life

27:36

and be

27:36

more financially

27:38

secure

27:38

do you think

27:39

these people

27:39

entitled to

27:40

like okay

27:40

almost like

27:41

agencies

27:41

if I get

27:42

you to work

27:43

or get

27:43

you there

27:43

should you

27:43

hit me

27:44

off

27:44

or the

27:45

megachurches

27:45

is it so wrong

27:46

for people

27:47

just to pour

27:47

all their

27:47

money to them

27:48

or are they

27:49

giving these

27:49

people

27:50

something to

27:50

believe in

27:51

if that's

27:51

the case

27:51

do I

27:52

supposed to

27:52

get a piece

27:53

of that

27:53

I think

27:53

they're

27:54

preying

27:54

on people's

27:55

need to

27:55

believe in

27:56

things

27:56

and I

27:56

think

27:57

they're

27:57

very

27:57

predatory

27:58

and I

27:58

think

27:58

that's

27:59

why

27:59

they're

27:59

flying

27:59

private

28:00

jets

28:00

and driving

28:01

rolls-royces

28:01

and living

28:02

in mega

28:02

mansions

28:03

on giant

28:03

ranches

28:04

and they're

28:05

doing it

28:05

all off

28:06

of donations

28:06

of people

28:07

that are

28:07

barely getting

28:07

by

28:08

that's a

28:08

lot of

28:09

it

28:09

you know

28:09

I think

28:10

it's a

28:10

scam

28:11

that's

28:11

legal

28:11

I think

28:12

if we

28:13

were a

28:13

just

28:14

and righteous

28:14

society

28:15

it wouldn't

28:15

be legal

28:16

right

28:17

I mean

28:17

it's

28:18

you're

28:18

taking

28:18

advantage

28:19

of people

28:20

when

28:21

they need

28:22

something

28:22

to believe

28:23

in

28:23

and you're

28:23

asking

28:23

for

28:24

all their

28:24

money

28:25

like

28:25

I remember

28:26

I was

28:26

watching

28:26

this

28:27

guy

28:27

on TV

28:28

once

28:28

like

28:28

televangelists

28:30

are the

28:30

worst

28:30

and this

28:31

guy

28:31

was saying

28:32

that if

28:33

you are

28:33

broke

28:34

you should

28:34

borrow money

28:35

to donate

28:36

it to the

28:37

church

28:37

and it

28:37

will be

28:38

paid back

28:38

to you

28:39

tenfold

28:39

that God

28:41

will pay

28:41

you back

28:42

tenfold

28:42

and then

28:42

he had

28:43

all these

28:43

examples

28:43

of people

28:44

that did

28:44

it

28:45

and they

28:45

would call

28:45

in

28:45

and say

28:46

I was

28:47

a thousand

28:47

dollars

28:48

in debt

28:48

and this

28:48

and that

28:49

but I

28:49

borrowed

28:49

a hundred

28:50

dollars

28:50

and I

28:50

donated

28:51

it

28:51

to you

28:51

and now

28:51

all of a

28:52

sudden

28:52

I drive

28:52

a Rolls Royce

28:53

and it's

28:53

all horseshit

28:54

but those

28:55

are all

28:55

desperate

28:56

desperate people

28:57

desperate people

28:58

those are

28:58

the same

28:59

people that

28:59

I'm going to

29:00

spend $30

29:00

on the lottery

29:01

every day

29:02

for like

29:02

fucking 50 years

29:03

and don't know

29:04

how much

29:04

that's another scam

29:05

that's another scam

29:06

not only is that a scam

29:07

here's the scam

29:08

about the lottery

29:09

not only

29:10

does

29:11

like say

29:12

if everyone

29:12

pumps money

29:13

into the lottery

29:14

say you

29:14

you buy

29:15

a hundred dollars

29:16

worth of tickets

29:16

and Jamie buys

29:17

a hundred dollars

29:17

worth of tickets

29:18

and I buy a hundred

29:18

so there's

29:19

three hundred dollars

29:19

in the lottery

29:20

there's not even

29:21

three hundred dollars

29:22

available

29:23

if you win

29:24

so and then

29:25

if you win

29:26

you don't get

29:27

all the money

29:28

you get the money

29:29

over a long

29:30

period of time

29:32

but if you

29:33

if you take

29:33

the second option

29:34

it's a significantly

29:36

like here's a good

29:37

example of it

29:38

speaking of the

29:38

Epstein files

29:39

his company

29:41

Zorro Trust

29:43

I didn't like that

29:45

transition

29:45

you looked me

29:46

right in my eyes

29:47

and said

29:48

speaking of the

29:48

Epstein files

29:49

we were talking

29:49

about it

29:49

before the podcast

29:50

Epstein came to see you

29:52

no Epstein did not

29:53

fucking come to see me

29:54

they loved your show

29:54

yo

29:55

he was your

29:56

he was a number one fan

29:57

first of all

29:57

I never

29:59

he came to what

30:00

you don't know

30:02

look they came to

30:03

West Palm Improv

30:04

because you're a famous

30:05

comedian

30:05

and you were playing

30:06

in the town

30:07

where he lived

30:08

so what are you saying

30:09

nothing

30:10

but what I'm saying

30:11

is that

30:11

what I'm saying

30:13

is Epstein

30:14

won the lottery

30:15

his company

30:16

Zorro Trust

30:17

won an

30:17

$80 million

30:18

lottery

30:19

and then

30:20

they took the pay off

30:22

and the pay off

30:23

was only $30 million

30:24

from a ticket

30:24

or you mean

30:25

in corporation

30:26

what do you mean

30:28

when you say

30:28

his company

30:29

bought a ticket

30:30

for the lottery

30:31

oh really

30:31

yes

30:32

Zorro Trust

30:33

which is his company

30:34

they won the lottery

30:35

which is very suspicious

30:36

not only that

30:37

he won the lottery

30:38

right after he was arrested

30:39

and went to jail

30:40

for fucking kids

30:41

or having sex

30:42

or whatever

30:42

he was arrested for

30:44

sexual handjobs

30:45

whatever it was

30:46

there's nothing wrong

30:47

with sexual age

30:48

no but when they're

30:49

underage girls

30:50

probably not

30:50

oh I didn't know that

30:51

so then when he went

30:54

and got the lottery money

30:56

the company took the payoff

30:58

the payoff

30:59

out of an $80 million payment

31:01

the $80 million jackpot

31:02

was only $30 million

31:03

so if you want the money

31:05

you take $30

31:06

so not only did they take

31:07

$50 out of the $80

31:08

but then

31:09

you think about

31:10

how many people

31:11

spent money

31:12

buying lottery tickets

31:13

is way more than $80 million

31:15

so they make money

31:16

off of that

31:17

and then they make money

31:18

off of the fact

31:19

that you want the payoff

31:20

instead of the

31:21

you know

31:21

the over 30 years

31:23

so they never could

31:24

it doesn't matter

31:24

what the jackpot becomes

31:26

they never can lose

31:27

they can't lose

31:28

because they're stealing money

31:29

from people that are desperate

31:30

it's legalized gambling

31:32

where the house

31:33

always wins

31:34

right

31:34

like let's find that out

31:36

like let's say

31:37

let's find

31:39

an average jackpot

31:42

of mega bucks

31:43

and find out

31:44

how much money

31:45

actually goes

31:46

into it

31:47

how much

31:47

how much money

31:48

people spend

31:49

versus how much money

31:50

the payout is

31:51

so when this

31:51

all lottos

31:53

are state regulated

31:55

right

31:55

right

31:56

I don't know

31:57

I don't know who

31:58

regulates them

31:58

so they get

32:00

say

32:01

they get

32:03

$100 million

32:04

from people

32:04

trying to win

32:05

a billion dollars

32:06

it's because

32:07

it's state regulated

32:08

do they have to

32:09

pay taxes

32:10

to the government

32:11

for the money

32:11

the lotto

32:12

no

32:13

it's the state

32:14

or the government

32:15

owns it

32:16

so it's a

32:16

whatever the

32:17

not only that

32:18

you pay taxes on it

32:20

so say if you get that

32:21

yes

32:22

so say if you take

32:23

that $30 million

32:24

payout

32:24

you don't even get

32:25

$30 million

32:25

then you have to pay

32:26

taxes on that $30 million

32:28

so they get money

32:28

from that too

32:29

so they can't

32:30

fucking lose

32:31

but for a person

32:32

that's never seen

32:33

barely seen

32:34

$1,000 anywhere

32:35

anything with a million

32:37

they're going to be

32:37

excited about

32:38

and take it

32:38

before

32:38

exactly

32:39

and over time

32:41

most people

32:42

are not going to win

32:43

so most people

32:44

are dumping money

32:44

into it

32:45

there was a story

32:46

of a young lady

32:47

I don't know

32:48

exactly what it was

32:48

I think she won

32:49

some type of lottery

32:50

where they

32:51

gave her two options

32:53

she would get

32:53

I think it was like

32:54

a payout

32:56

of like $2 or $3 million

32:57

right up front

32:58

or they give her

33:00

I think it was like

33:01

$20,000

33:02

every month

33:03

for as long

33:04

as she lived

33:05

and she did

33:06

well people think

33:07

that it's kind of crazy

33:08

but if you consider

33:09

the fact

33:09

that she was probably

33:10

20, 21

33:11

her life expectancy

33:12

probably

33:12

she was white

33:13

so she probably

33:14

lived to 132

33:15

you know what I'm saying

33:17

she looked like

33:18

that was a smart

33:19

a lot of people

33:19

would not understand

33:20

that

33:20

that was a smart thing

33:21

I don't think

33:22

it's for the rest

33:23

of your life

33:24

I think it's until

33:25

it reaches that number

33:26

I don't think

33:28

they're going to

33:28

give you money

33:28

for the rest of your life

33:29

well maybe I was

33:30

reading the headline

33:30

maybe it's a different

33:31

kind of lottery

33:32

that I'm not aware of

33:33

maybe I think

33:34

it was something

33:34

as long as she lives

33:35

that sounds crazy

33:36

yeah

33:37

alright here it is

33:37

typical mega millions

33:39

jackpot run

33:40

total ticket revenue

33:41

is usually several times

33:42

the advertised jackpot

33:44

but there's no single

33:45

fixed average

33:46

because sales vary

33:47

enormously

33:47

with the jackpot size

33:48

still you can get

33:50

a good ballpark

33:51

so around 50%

33:53

of ticket revenue

33:53

goes into the overall

33:55

prize pool

33:55

so the government

33:56

makes 50% right off the bat

33:57

right

33:58

so if it's a hundred

33:59

million dollar payout

34:00

they already made

34:01

a hundred million

34:02

so that's 200 million

34:04

dollars is what they made

34:05

they throw in

34:06

a hundred million dollars

34:07

for everybody

34:08

of that prize pool

34:09

roughly two thirds

34:10

to three quarters

34:11

is allocated to the jackpot

34:13

with the rest funding

34:14

lower tier prizes

34:15

so that means

34:17

even if there's

34:17

200 million dollars

34:19

out of the hundred

34:20

million dollars

34:20

only two thirds

34:21

of it goes

34:22

into the big jackpot

34:24

and that means

34:26

the jackpot

34:27

is typically

34:27

in the order

34:28

of one third

34:29

of total ticket sales

34:30

that run

34:31

and then out of that

34:33

one third

34:33

so say if it's

34:34

a hundred million

34:35

or with the Epstein case

34:36

it was 80 million

34:37

he took the payout

34:38

which was 30 million

34:39

so they make 50

34:40

on top of that

34:41

and then on top of that

34:42

you pay taxes

34:43

on that 30

34:44

it's a crazy scam

34:46

what do they do

34:46

with the money

34:47

whatever the fuck

34:48

they want

34:48

I think they probably

34:50

in certain neighborhoods

34:51

I think they probably

34:52

pump a certain amount

34:53

of winning tickets

34:54

into a neighborhood

34:55

just to get you

34:56

addicted to keep

34:57

going in there

34:57

and spend your money

34:58

well it's supposed

35:00

to be random

35:01

you know

35:02

I don't know

35:03

how much

35:04

oversight

35:05

look if a guy

35:05

like Jeffrey Epstein

35:06

can win

35:07

I don't know

35:07

how much oversight

35:08

is it

35:08

I know

35:09

back in Boston

35:10

when I lived there

35:11

Whitey Bulger

35:12

won

35:12

see if this is true

35:14

I think he won

35:15

the lotto twice

35:16

which is crazy

35:18

Whitey Bulger

35:18

who was that

35:19

Whitey Bulger

35:20

was a South Boston

35:21

mob boss

35:22

in the 1980s

35:26

when I lived there

35:27

the 1980s

35:28

and 90s

35:29

a mob boss

35:31

yeah

35:31

he was a dangerous

35:33

dangerous guy

35:34

he was the guy

35:35

that that movie

35:36

that Leonardo DiCaprio

35:37

starred in

35:38

with Jack Nicholson

35:39

what was that movie

35:40

Jamie

35:41

remember that movie

35:42

that was based

35:43

on Whitey Bulger

35:43

The Departed

35:46

yeah

35:46

okay

35:47

that was based

35:48

on Whitey Bulger

35:49

he was a gangster

35:50

oh yeah

35:51

terrifying gangster

35:52

yeah

35:53

what was his demise

35:54

he was actually

35:56

a fucking

35:56

FBI informant

35:58

not only was he

35:59

a gangster

36:00

he was working

36:00

with the FBI

36:01

and they were

36:02

letting him get away

36:02

with shit

36:03

because he was

36:03

throwing other people

36:04

under the bus

36:05

I think there's

36:06

a different

36:06

I mean

36:07

they wound up

36:07

catching him

36:08

in Santa Monica

36:08

well

36:09

I've found

36:10

that

36:10

Hunting Whitey

36:11

about that

36:13

Whitey Bulger

36:13

won the mass

36:14

millions lottery

36:15

about that time

36:16

yeah

36:17

yeah

36:17

he won the

36:18

fucking lottery

36:19

man

36:19

so

36:20

this is what

36:22

it says

36:23

here

36:24

what does it say

36:25

I think

36:27

it was more

36:28

of a scheme

36:28

than they actually

36:29

won the

36:29

but it's

36:30

always taking money

36:31

it's probably

36:31

a way to like

36:31

launder money

36:32

yeah

36:33

oh 100%

36:34

it's a way

36:34

to launder money

36:34

so the way

36:35

it would work

36:36

was

36:36

like say

36:37

if you lived

36:38

in the community

36:38

and you

36:39

won the lottery ticket

36:40

maybe they would

36:41

give you money

36:42

for your lottery ticket

36:43

then he would get it

36:44

and that way

36:45

it would show

36:46

that this is where

36:47

he got his income from

36:48

like these guys

36:49

would all own

36:50

businesses

36:50

right

36:51

but the reason why

36:51

they would own businesses

36:52

is so they could show

36:54

why they drive a Cadillac

36:55

why they have a mansion

36:56

why they have this

36:57

because they have

36:58

legitimate businesses

36:58

but really

36:59

these businesses

37:00

were scams

37:01

my father convinced

37:02

my family

37:03

that he was a real estate agent

37:04

for years

37:04

to come and find out

37:05

he was a heroin kingpin

37:06

in D.C. for years

37:07

all we needed

37:08

was an excuse

37:09

he's selling real estate

37:10

all right

37:10

that's hilarious

37:11

so he ordered

37:14

the real winner

37:15

to sign the ticket over

37:16

with Whitey

37:18

and two associates

37:18

paying 2.3 million dollars

37:20

in cash

37:21

for 50%

37:22

of the winnings

37:23

Bulger himself

37:24

paid Michael Linsky

37:26

$700,000

37:27

although Linsky

37:28

lost money in the deal

37:29

he really had no choice

37:30

it came down to

37:31

selling the ticket

37:32

or risking his life

37:33

yeah

37:33

so that's how

37:34

it usually works

37:35

so he was a snitch

37:37

Whitey was a snitch

37:38

yeah

37:39

he was a snitch

37:40

and he got caught

37:41

in Santa Monica

37:42

snitch or whistleblower

37:43

there is a difference

37:44

no he was a snitch

37:44

whistleblowers

37:45

are people that snitch

37:46

on people in higher profile

37:47

positions like

37:48

corporate America

37:49

but what I'm finding

37:50

no he wasn't a whistleblower

37:51

he was an actual snitch

37:52

because he was turning

37:54

other people in

37:55

but he was a kingpin

37:56

is this true

37:57

and I don't want to

37:58

make everything about race

37:59

is that phrase

38:01

snitches

38:02

gets snitches

38:03

more prevalent

38:04

in the white community

38:05

or the black community

38:06

or it's across the board

38:06

I think it's across the board

38:08

isn't it

38:08

like the black community

38:10

is famous

38:10

for keeping their mouth shut

38:12

when someone gets shot

38:13

or when someone

38:14

does something

38:14

like when cops come

38:16

and question people

38:16

I don't know if that's the truth

38:16

anymore because

38:17

not anymore

38:18

but that was the thing

38:18

with the mafia too

38:19

the mob would never rat out

38:21

the guys would just go to jail

38:22

it's interesting now

38:23

because

38:23

now I see

38:25

like

38:26

especially in my community

38:27

so many people

38:27

like

38:28

rat

38:28

I got the paperwork

38:29

and everything

38:30

and now it feels like

38:31

like

38:32

that motto

38:33

of

38:34

being loyal

38:35

is dead

38:37

like people

38:38

now

38:39

they

38:39

they getting caught

38:40

with shit

38:40

in a minute

38:41

they get caught

38:42

they snitch on everybody

38:43

right

38:43

and there's no repercussions

38:45

when they come home

38:47

there's no repercussions

38:48

I don't see that as much

38:49

I see so many people

38:50

that are like

38:52

they saying

38:52

whatever the fuck

38:53

they want to do

38:53

whatever

38:53

and they still out here

38:55

just living their life's normal

38:56

like nothing fucking happened

38:57

well with the mob

38:58

it was always like

39:00

if you ratted on the mob

39:01

you were a dead man

39:02

you were a dead man

39:03

your family was probably dead

39:04

they'd burn your house down

39:05

and people kept their mouth shut

39:07

because of that

39:08

and so guys would go to jail

39:10

all the time

39:10

and never open their mouth

39:11

and they would be rewarded

39:13

when they would get out

39:14

and they'd have a party for them

39:15

celebrate

39:16

that's in Goodfellas

39:17

you kept your mouth shut

39:18

you never said nothing

39:19

that was the whole thing

39:20

but the whole thing

39:21

I used to live by

39:22

that changed though

39:23

like with John Gotti

39:24

like the government

39:26

did he snitch?

39:26

no Sammy the Bull

39:28

Sammy the Bull

39:28

and it wasn't just them

39:30

like everyone was snitching

39:32

on everybody

39:32

it's like they got these guys

39:34

and you know

39:35

we had Donnie Brasco

39:36

in the studio

39:38

from what

39:39

that Johnny Depp movie

39:41

it was called Donnie Brasco

39:43

okay

39:43

well I'm not confused

39:45

what's his real

39:46

Donnie Brasco's real name

39:48

Joe

39:50

I'm not confused

39:51

Bronx

39:52

that's not Bronx

39:53

Joe Pistone

39:54

Joe Pistone

39:55

that's not nothing to do

39:55

with Bronx Tale

39:56

right?

39:56

no different story

39:57

that's a different story

39:58

yeah

39:59

so Donnie Brasco

40:01

was the guy

40:02

who was

40:03

he was an agent

40:04

and he pretended

40:05

to be a mob guy

40:06

and he got in

40:07

with the mob

40:07

and was with him

40:08

for like seven years

40:09

did all kinds of shit

40:10

with the mob

40:11

and then

40:12

sold everybody out

40:13

and they all went under

40:14

yeah I don't know

40:15

I'm just so

40:16

the culture

40:17

everything is

40:18

there used to be a phrase

40:19

snitches get stitches

40:20

now I don't know

40:22

if this just

40:23

everywhere

40:23

but everywhere I go

40:24

it's like

40:25

the most interesting thing

40:27

now that's selling

40:27

on any platform

40:28

especially social media

40:29

is beef

40:30

and I don't understand

40:31

why people gravitate

40:33

toward negativity

40:34

more than anything

40:35

that's normal

40:36

why

40:37

but you know what

40:38

it's interesting

40:39

your platform

40:40

is not known for that

40:41

no

40:42

your platform

40:43

but I go to these

40:44

other platforms

40:45

and I don't know

40:46

I think these guys

40:47

the people

40:48

they just sit back

40:49

and it's like

40:50

okay

40:50

what can I say

40:52

to make people upset

40:54

get them riled up

40:55

and then I take advantage

40:57

of the engagement

40:58

that they do

40:59

they're in a different game

41:00

than me

41:00

alright

41:01

their game is

41:02

trying to get engagement

41:03

my game is talking

41:04

to people that are

41:05

interesting

41:05

doesn't that become

41:06

I don't want to be

41:08

triggering things

41:09

but doesn't that become

41:10

destructive

41:11

after a while

41:12

100%

41:13

and do you

41:13

have you noticed

41:15

especially

41:16

I'll put it like this

41:17

especially

41:18

with comedians

41:19

with podcasts

41:20

it used to be a time

41:22

where like you say

41:23

a person would go on a podcast

41:25

because it was interesting

41:26

they told funny stories

41:28

or they was good

41:29

at their craft

41:29

or whatever

41:30

but now it feels like
