WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:08.000 Straight out, both eyes open, heartful eyes clear, no bear, 2 00:00:08.359 --> 00:00:12.400 no sorry, they brought you back. Time to go back. Gush, gush, gush, 3 00:00:12.480 --> 00:00:18.440 gush gush. Okay, they call me the Reverser of all science. 4 00:00:19.640 --> 00:00:21.519 That's a bad name with my name. 5 00:00:21.559 --> 00:00:33.159 It's a bad name. That sucked. That was a name. Guys, 6 00:00:33.159 --> 00:00:36.439 welcome nove Limits. We're back. We are back after a hiatus, 7 00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:39.200 I wanted to roll this out properly. I moved to Austin, 8 00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:43.359 and this is the first I'm gonna have some amazing 9 00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:46.799 guests on. Already recorded some with some great guests, but 10 00:00:46.920 --> 00:00:50.399 I figured I just kind of reintroduced the podcast with myself. 11 00:00:50.520 --> 00:00:57.560 Couple housekeeping notes April eighteen and nineteen, Springfield, Missouri, Blue 12 00:00:57.640 --> 00:01:03.119 Room Comedy Club, if any, but he's in the Missouri area, 13 00:01:03.759 --> 00:01:06.079 maybe even Kansas City area. I don't know how. I'm 14 00:01:06.079 --> 00:01:10.239 the worst with geography. Come get some at Blue Moon 15 00:01:10.599 --> 00:01:14.760 Comedy Club. It's gonna be awesome. And I'm doing my 16 00:01:14.840 --> 00:01:17.760 one hour that I shot, but I'm already changing it. 17 00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:20.840 It's already coming together. It's already like writing stand up 18 00:01:20.959 --> 00:01:24.159 is such a nightmare because it's always like you you 19 00:01:24.200 --> 00:01:27.400 write a special, then you throw it away. And you 20 00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:29.719 start from scratch, and I go through six months of 21 00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:32.079 thinking I'm never gonna be able to write something funny. Anyway, 22 00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:34.799 Let's move on to what's going on in the world. 23 00:01:35.120 --> 00:01:39.799 Let's uh, let's uh, let's talk about some stuff, okay, 24 00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:42.799 because the world's on fire, and I want to say 25 00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:46.439 the first thing about like, if you if you like, 26 00:01:46.519 --> 00:01:49.719 let's just take tariffs as an example, or whatever is 27 00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:52.560 going on in the world, or the Supreme Court's weigh 28 00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:58.319 in on the deportation of a bunch of Venezuelan gang members, 29 00:01:58.879 --> 00:02:02.480 and then the Supreme Court or the lower courts weigh 30 00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:06.519 in on whether they should come back or be allowed 31 00:02:06.519 --> 00:02:10.159 to come back, whatever. Like, it's impossible to know the 32 00:02:10.199 --> 00:02:12.960 details of this stuff if you're a guy, if you're 33 00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:15.919 an average American, if you're just somebody like myself who's 34 00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:20.120 worrying about paying bills, raising four kids, you know, paying 35 00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:23.479 your taxes on time, trying to have a modicum of 36 00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:26.639 a life. I don't know how to become an expert 37 00:02:27.199 --> 00:02:33.039 at you know, deportation law or tariffs. I don't know 38 00:02:33.080 --> 00:02:36.000 how to have an opinion on that. I have to 39 00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:42.400 to a degree rely on the experts. It's just the 40 00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:45.800 way it is. It's a little bit like when I 41 00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:50.520 turn the tap on in my house and I wash 42 00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:53.719 my hands or drink the water or use it to 43 00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:57.520 boil something, whatever it might be. I am assuming it's 44 00:02:57.599 --> 00:03:03.280 not toxic. If somebody puts, I don't know, drywall up 45 00:03:03.280 --> 00:03:07.400 in my house, I'm assuming that that drywall wasn't made 46 00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:12.479 in China with shortcuts, and that drywall then isn't toxic. 47 00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:16.479 I'm assuming there's a government agency that can take care 48 00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:20.840 of that. When the electric grid breaks down, how about this, 49 00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:25.240 I'm assuming that there's somebody out there protecting the electric grid, 50 00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:29.199 and if somebody does sabotage it, some terrorists, we have backup. 51 00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:34.639 I'm assuming that's the case, especially in hospitals or traffic lights. 52 00:03:34.919 --> 00:03:38.240 So they're just certain things that you just assume are 53 00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:42.479 How about flight safety, I assume they're keeping the geese 54 00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:49.080 out of the airfield by detonating firecrackers. That's Department of 55 00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:53.280 Agriculture's job. By the way, I'm assuming they're keeping peregrine 56 00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:55.360 falcons around so they can keep all the other birds 57 00:03:55.439 --> 00:03:58.639 out of the airfield because they're territorial birds. I'm assuming 58 00:03:58.680 --> 00:04:00.719 a lot of these things. I have to do. I 59 00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:03.719 can't do everything myself. That's kind of the nature of 60 00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:06.520 a society. And the biggest threat we have, and I've 61 00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:08.159 said this a ton of times, is that you've got 62 00:04:08.199 --> 00:04:12.719 a bunch of people who are grifters or think they're experts, 63 00:04:13.199 --> 00:04:19.759 bad actors, ignorant actors on podcasts, you know, promoting their 64 00:04:19.879 --> 00:04:24.600 idea of reality vaccines is a good example of that. 65 00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:28.040 And you know, I just think that's the biggest threat 66 00:04:28.439 --> 00:04:33.879 I really do. We have become wary of experts. Maybe 67 00:04:33.879 --> 00:04:38.480 the experts in science are deliberately quiet, too quiet. Maybe 68 00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:44.800 the way COVID was handled was, you know, eroded even 69 00:04:44.879 --> 00:04:47.600 more trust. Maybe the fact that the entire all of 70 00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:53.680 legacy media and all of uh the administration knew they 71 00:04:53.759 --> 00:05:00.199 knew Biden was cognizant, cognizant, cognitively impaired and never told, 72 00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:04.519 never admitted to that. These kinds of things erod trust. 73 00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:07.079 So I don't know where we go. The only thing 74 00:05:07.160 --> 00:05:11.160 left is to pay very close attention to what is 75 00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:15.800 being said, what is being promised, and try to remember that, 76 00:05:16.040 --> 00:05:19.839 try to hold those in power accountable to that, and 77 00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:22.240 try not to swing all the way over to the 78 00:05:22.279 --> 00:05:25.079 other side to correct it. Americans have so much trouble 79 00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:29.079 just being generally in the middle, and maybe I do too. 80 00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:32.720 So that's my that's what I want to open with 81 00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:36.399 that idea. It doesn't mean you can't work for the answer, 82 00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:40.360 but the answer does become harder and harder to get 83 00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:42.639 to because you know, I talked to my friend the 84 00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:45.079 other day, I don't know necessarily where to where to 85 00:05:45.399 --> 00:05:47.240 look if I'm going to do a podcast like this. 86 00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:52.160 Here's the other thing about certain subjects. Not everything has 87 00:05:52.199 --> 00:05:54.680 to be a narrative. And I was talking to my 88 00:05:54.720 --> 00:05:57.680 buddy Robert about this. Not everything has to be a story. 89 00:05:58.600 --> 00:06:00.600 You understand, if you're trying to find the truth about 90 00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:04.279 I don't know, vaccines or terrorifs, it doesn't all have 91 00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:07.560 to be First, I'm gonna paint the bad guys in 92 00:06:07.600 --> 00:06:11.000 this scenario, and I'm gonna paint how they're responsible for 93 00:06:11.079 --> 00:06:14.160 all the woes of the world. No, dude, No, I 94 00:06:14.199 --> 00:06:18.040 don't need a story with every truth. Sometimes there's just 95 00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:24.600 measurable evidence that we can look at agnostically and say, oh, well, 96 00:06:24.680 --> 00:06:30.240 this has worked and this hasn't okay. The medical experts, 97 00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:33.120 for the most part, have pushed us beyond our biology, 98 00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:37.319 not everything is a conspiracy. The fact that my iPhone works, 99 00:06:37.560 --> 00:06:39.959 the fact that the supply chain actually works and I 100 00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:42.759 can get food into my body and my children's body 101 00:06:42.759 --> 00:06:46.360 at a reasonable price, means a lot of stuff does work. 102 00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:48.920 Means a lot of people are acting in good faith. 103 00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:51.639 Faith means that there is a right way in a 104 00:06:51.680 --> 00:06:54.959 wrong way. The fact that Somalia and Afghanistan aren't doing 105 00:06:55.040 --> 00:06:58.439 as well as the United States or the liberal democracies 106 00:06:58.480 --> 00:07:01.639 of Europe might mean that there's a better way to 107 00:07:01.720 --> 00:07:04.199 do things, Like there's a better way. We have a 108 00:07:04.279 --> 00:07:08.759 track record pay attention historically to the ideas that killed people, 109 00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:14.199 like communism, top down economics, whatever it might be, and 110 00:07:14.360 --> 00:07:20.519 freedom messy democracies that put individual liberties at the forefront. 111 00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:25.560 That seems to work out better? What cultures you want 112 00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:27.160 to want to get? You want me to get? Really? 113 00:07:28.120 --> 00:07:31.839 What is it controversial? What culture seem to work better 114 00:07:32.519 --> 00:07:37.199 in the twenty first century that helps someone realize their 115 00:07:37.240 --> 00:07:42.720 full potential? What cultures you think Chinese American culture might 116 00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:47.360 be effective? It seems like it is. Are there other 117 00:07:47.399 --> 00:07:50.360 cultures that are not as effective? Are there other cultures 118 00:07:50.839 --> 00:07:56.639 that don't seem to put out PhDs and expert, violinists, 119 00:07:56.680 --> 00:08:02.720 et cetera, and innovators in like the guy who what 120 00:08:02.920 --> 00:08:15.040 created Navidia, he's from Taiwan. What is it about that culture? Frugality, education, discipline, patience, 121 00:08:15.399 --> 00:08:19.480 long term thinking? What is it about that culture despite 122 00:08:19.639 --> 00:08:24.519 all the racism they experienced, that seems to push them 123 00:08:25.160 --> 00:08:30.480 ahead no matter where they are, whether they're Chinese in Malaysia, 124 00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:33.320 whether they're in West Africa, wherever they might be. What 125 00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:36.039 is it about that culture that, no matter what, they 126 00:08:36.080 --> 00:08:40.000 seem to be able to accrue wealth and their generations 127 00:08:40.080 --> 00:08:47.159 after the first generation does better. What is it? Family? Cohesion, discipline, 128 00:08:47.320 --> 00:08:51.440 all those things? I think so, I think so, So 129 00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:54.559 take a look at what works. You don't need a 130 00:08:54.600 --> 00:08:57.679 goddamn narrative for everything. We don't need a good guy 131 00:08:57.720 --> 00:09:00.759 bad guy. I don't need to find the bad people 132 00:09:00.799 --> 00:09:03.000 that are causing all these problems which you hear all 133 00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:05.480 the time. What do you hear of every conspiracy theory? 134 00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:08.279 I'm sorry, but it's always an invisible circle of Jews 135 00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:12.440 or someone like that, or globalists and bankers, which really 136 00:09:12.440 --> 00:09:16.360 means Jews like this is not helpful and it's also 137 00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:20.919 not true. It's also takes all the pressure off of you. 138 00:09:20.919 --> 00:09:24.799 You might be the architect of your own misery and failure. 139 00:09:25.039 --> 00:09:27.840 That sucks to say, but I've had to do that myself. 140 00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:29.360 And when you do that and you take a look 141 00:09:29.360 --> 00:09:32.240 at what you're doing that's not working, what you're doing 142 00:09:32.399 --> 00:09:35.879 to contribute to your own failure, then you know, it's 143 00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:37.960 a sobering thing. But it's a great way to get 144 00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:42.600 out of that situation. So not everything needs a fucking narrative. 145 00:09:43.559 --> 00:09:49.559 Just look at the evidence. Damn, I'm just hot. My 146 00:09:49.720 --> 00:09:55.360 jets are hot right now, bro, And don't be so reductive. 147 00:09:56.200 --> 00:09:58.720 Here's the other you know, at fifty eight years old, 148 00:09:58.799 --> 00:10:01.519 let me just share this with you. People are we 149 00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:04.519 love to be reductive with every problem. Oh there's a 150 00:10:04.559 --> 00:10:07.360 problem in the Middle East. Well, let's find a good 151 00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:11.000 guys and the bad guys here. You know, complicated the 152 00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:12.559 Middle East is. You want to know why the Middle 153 00:10:12.559 --> 00:10:15.279 East has always been a cauldron of you know, insanity. 154 00:10:15.559 --> 00:10:18.000 Is it just the Jews? Is it just Israel? I 155 00:10:18.039 --> 00:10:21.120 don't think so. The Middle East has that Sunni Shia divide. 156 00:10:21.200 --> 00:10:22.879 We can go on and on. It takes a lot 157 00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:26.720 of thought to earn an informed point of view and 158 00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:31.440 a helpful opinion about the Middle East. It's and by 159 00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:35.720 the way, just because you're outraged by the number of 160 00:10:36.279 --> 00:10:40.279 children who have been orphaned and killed the extended families 161 00:10:40.320 --> 00:10:43.600 in Gaza, because you're outraged by that does not mean 162 00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:46.120 you're pro Hamas does not mean you're pro terrorist either. 163 00:10:46.200 --> 00:10:51.039 So we got to be careful about how we categorize 164 00:10:51.679 --> 00:10:55.679 and label the people we disagree with. It's just not helpful. 165 00:10:56.320 --> 00:10:58.960 But you can get a lot of cliques and a 166 00:10:59.000 --> 00:11:06.559 lot of attention by essentially amplifying your monologue and coming 167 00:11:06.639 --> 00:11:10.080 up with a narrative that paints things in good and 168 00:11:10.159 --> 00:11:17.480 evil and in biblically catastrophic terms. That's what you that's 169 00:11:17.480 --> 00:11:18.960 what you want it you want to get You want 170 00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:20.759 to make a lot of money. Get good at that. 171 00:11:21.639 --> 00:11:25.519 You'll be a liar, but get good at that. Angels 172 00:11:25.519 --> 00:11:31.279 and demons, good and evil, all that stuff. Where's the 173 00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:33.919 bad guy in this? What do they not want you 174 00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:37.039 to know? And who is they will never know? We 175 00:11:37.159 --> 00:11:40.559 know who they is? Wink wink. Yeah, that ship people 176 00:11:40.759 --> 00:11:43.519 gobble up because we want the world to be simple. 177 00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:46.679 We want to find people who are bad guys good guys. 178 00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:51.960 But you're being advertised to you're being gained John Steinbeck quote. 179 00:11:51.960 --> 00:11:55.200 I believe that there's one story. I believe that there's 180 00:11:55.240 --> 00:11:59.799 one story in the world, the only one. Humans are 181 00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:04.639 in their lives, in their thoughts, in their hungers and ambitions, 182 00:12:04.879 --> 00:12:07.960 in their avarice and cruelty, and in their kindness and 183 00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:11.120 generosity too, in a net of good and evil. There 184 00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:15.840 is no other story. A man, after he has brushed 185 00:12:15.879 --> 00:12:18.279 off the dust and chips of his life, will have 186 00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:23.000 left only the hard clean questions was it good or 187 00:12:23.120 --> 00:12:28.639 was it evil? Have I done well or ill? I 188 00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:32.559 love that quote. I love that quote. I know you're 189 00:12:32.679 --> 00:12:35.440 rebutting what I'm saying, but I'm not saying you should 190 00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:38.120 be a relativist. I'm not saying you should be somebody 191 00:12:38.159 --> 00:12:40.240 who says there is no good and evil, right or wrong. 192 00:12:40.960 --> 00:12:43.399 I think part of the most important thing in life 193 00:12:44.039 --> 00:12:46.559 is actually to be able to know them, to understand 194 00:12:46.600 --> 00:12:48.919 the difference, and stand on the right side of history, 195 00:12:48.919 --> 00:12:50.840 but more importantly, stand on the right side of what 196 00:12:50.919 --> 00:12:53.879 is right and wrong. It is often the case that 197 00:12:54.039 --> 00:12:56.919 might makes right, but that doesn't mean you're right. So 198 00:12:57.000 --> 00:12:59.279 let me read that quote again for myself. 199 00:12:59.440 --> 00:13:00.360 Beautiful quote. 200 00:13:00.399 --> 00:13:04.799 Huh, beautiful quote. John Steinbeck and I've read a number 201 00:13:04.840 --> 00:13:07.759 of his books. I believe that there is one story 202 00:13:07.799 --> 00:13:10.039 in the world, and only one. Humans are caught in 203 00:13:10.080 --> 00:13:12.519 their lives, in their thoughts, in their hungers and ambitions, 204 00:13:12.519 --> 00:13:15.000 in their averice and cruelty, and in their kindness and 205 00:13:15.039 --> 00:13:18.639 generosity too, in a net of good and evil. There 206 00:13:18.679 --> 00:13:22.240 is no other story. A man, after he has brushed 207 00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:24.639 off the dust and chips of his life, will have 208 00:13:24.759 --> 00:13:28.960 left only the hard clean questions was it good or 209 00:13:29.080 --> 00:13:36.039 was it evil? Have I done well or ill? Bravo, bravo? 210 00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:41.279 Now road to hell is paved and good intentions. You 211 00:13:41.320 --> 00:13:43.279 can do a lot of stuff. You can do a 212 00:13:43.320 --> 00:13:48.279 lot of stuff and think you're doing well and you're not. 213 00:13:48.519 --> 00:13:51.519 And that's that's the rub. That's the rub, you know. 214 00:13:51.759 --> 00:13:56.519 I think it was Guru Guru Sa Guru on Rogan 215 00:13:56.519 --> 00:13:59.600 who said it's not There are a lot of people 216 00:13:59.639 --> 00:14:01.720 that do horrible things in the world because they think 217 00:14:01.759 --> 00:14:05.519 they're doing right. You can also be complicit by by 218 00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:09.320 your silence or ignorance. You can be you can be 219 00:14:09.320 --> 00:14:14.279 benefiting from a very oppressive regime without knowing about it. 220 00:14:14.759 --> 00:14:18.519 So it's really hard, man, It's really hard to walk 221 00:14:18.559 --> 00:14:20.519 a clean straight line. 222 00:14:20.919 --> 00:14:22.720 Yeah, I didn't mean to muddy the point or anything. 223 00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:25.600 I think I love that you have the money. The 224 00:14:25.600 --> 00:14:28.240 point is the is the point because sometimes it's really 225 00:14:28.279 --> 00:14:30.720 hard to know. It goes back to what I was saying, 226 00:14:30.840 --> 00:14:34.120 Sometimes it's very hard to know like what's right and 227 00:14:34.159 --> 00:14:37.960 what's wrong in this world. But you know, you know, 228 00:14:38.320 --> 00:14:39.960 you do know, you do know. At the same time, 229 00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:42.720 it's not that's a cop out, but it can be 230 00:14:42.759 --> 00:14:46.000 difficult to know at least where what the truth is, 231 00:14:46.879 --> 00:14:50.039 like what did what's what? Who actually started this? What's 232 00:14:50.080 --> 00:14:52.519 really going on? But I'm gonna quote Elka who I 233 00:14:52.519 --> 00:14:56.039 had on this podcast too, Elika Bond, who said, look, 234 00:14:57.159 --> 00:14:59.639 there are situations and she was talking I think about 235 00:14:59.720 --> 00:15:04.759 you and and and Russia, and she was talking about 236 00:15:04.840 --> 00:15:09.120 you know, Iran. There is there is a situation where, 237 00:15:09.200 --> 00:15:12.720 you know, like if a country is trying to side 238 00:15:12.759 --> 00:15:16.279 more with the West, with a liberal democracy, with with 239 00:15:16.279 --> 00:15:22.240 with free markets, with individual liberty, they are they are 240 00:15:23.960 --> 00:15:29.159 closer to the truth and the good then is somebody 241 00:15:29.159 --> 00:15:34.120 who's being forced to align themselves with the Russian slash 242 00:15:34.200 --> 00:15:39.000 Putin regime. Let's not forget that that Russia still invaded 243 00:15:39.039 --> 00:15:42.600 a sovereign country because they wanted to be closer to 244 00:15:42.639 --> 00:15:47.799 the west. Let's not forget that Putin poisoned Yushenko back 245 00:15:47.799 --> 00:15:51.440 in two thousand and five with dioxin. Let's not forget 246 00:15:51.480 --> 00:15:56.039 these things, okay. And and Ali Caaban said, if a cop, 247 00:15:56.879 --> 00:15:58.480 the guy holds a gun to your head and you're 248 00:15:58.480 --> 00:16:02.679 in your car and he's gonna rock. The cop who 249 00:16:02.720 --> 00:16:05.879 comes up and stops that guy from robbing you might 250 00:16:05.919 --> 00:16:08.039 beat his wife, he might have even killed somebody. But 251 00:16:08.080 --> 00:16:11.240 in that context, that cop is right and the robber's wrong. 252 00:16:12.120 --> 00:16:15.480 So we get caught up in this sophistry. Sophistry is 253 00:16:15.519 --> 00:16:19.320 like playing with words, playing with the truth, you know. 254 00:16:21.159 --> 00:16:25.759 So that's my that's what I have to say. Chill out, man, 255 00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:33.159 I know I'm fired out. Let's go through some current events. 256 00:16:33.200 --> 00:16:37.200 Dire wolves are brought back to life. Dire wolves, and 257 00:16:37.240 --> 00:16:38.960 you know, I would have been psyched if the dire 258 00:16:39.000 --> 00:16:42.279 wolf was like three hundred pounds. But it's not really 259 00:16:42.279 --> 00:16:44.399 that much bigger than a timberwolf. And as far as 260 00:16:44.399 --> 00:16:45.840 I can tell, I can't see the difference. 261 00:16:46.360 --> 00:16:50.279 It's about thirty pounds bigger it is. Yeah, then a timberwolf. 262 00:16:50.399 --> 00:16:55.360 Yeah, it's thirty pounds bigger than a timberwolf. Yeah, all right, 263 00:16:55.440 --> 00:16:56.159 how big is it? 264 00:16:56.840 --> 00:16:57.480 I think it was? 265 00:16:59.559 --> 00:17:03.240 Well now because because timberwolves are that big too. Timberwolves 266 00:17:03.240 --> 00:17:11.240 are huge. Yeah, they're being the gray wolf, I guess. Oh, 267 00:17:11.640 --> 00:17:16.720 I mean, but timberwolves are the ones in Yellowstone because 268 00:17:16.720 --> 00:17:20.200 they were eating all that elk. They were one hundred 269 00:17:20.200 --> 00:17:24.680 and seventy pounds. Man, what does that say? Yeah, one 270 00:17:24.759 --> 00:17:28.960 hundred and seventy five pounds. Yeah, timberwolves. I mean that's 271 00:17:29.000 --> 00:17:31.640 a massive animal. One hundred and seventy five pounds. Are 272 00:17:31.680 --> 00:17:36.160 you kidding me? So basically you made you brought back 273 00:17:36.160 --> 00:17:39.799 a wolf that's you know, same size. I can't tell 274 00:17:39.839 --> 00:17:42.680 really the difference. But it's kind of cool that they 275 00:17:42.680 --> 00:17:44.880 were able to do that. I mean, they're probably gonna 276 00:17:44.880 --> 00:17:47.240 do that with the wooly mammoth. That'll be kind of cool. 277 00:17:47.599 --> 00:17:50.559 Yeah, they're doing it with the wooly mammoth a dodo bird. 278 00:17:50.319 --> 00:17:53.480 And they're doing it with the dodo bird. Oh yeah, awesome. 279 00:17:54.240 --> 00:17:55.960 They'll be able to do that with t rexes. You know, 280 00:17:56.000 --> 00:17:58.799 they're gonna be able to do this with gene editing. 281 00:17:58.799 --> 00:18:02.200 It's kind of incredible. It's the inexorable rise of science. 282 00:18:02.720 --> 00:18:04.880 I want a sabertoothed tiger. That's what I want. 283 00:18:05.799 --> 00:18:07.519 Well, they're bringing back a tiger. 284 00:18:07.799 --> 00:18:09.319 Well, I want to see the saber tooth to see 285 00:18:09.319 --> 00:18:12.279 how useless those giant fangs are. 286 00:18:12.599 --> 00:18:14.279 You mean useless useless? 287 00:18:14.279 --> 00:18:17.400 I don't think they used them, you talk. I mean, 288 00:18:17.519 --> 00:18:19.759 it's just a giant. Those teeth are in the way. 289 00:18:19.960 --> 00:18:22.559 It's like having buck teeth doesn't make you a better 290 00:18:22.640 --> 00:18:23.160 carrot eater. 291 00:18:24.160 --> 00:18:27.359 Right, they're bringing this thing, the Tasmanian tiger. 292 00:18:27.359 --> 00:18:30.160 I don't give a shit about that geese. It's basically 293 00:18:30.240 --> 00:18:33.319 a marsupial. I mean, it's just a cat dog. Looks 294 00:18:33.359 --> 00:18:37.559 like a combination of like a greyhound and some shitty cat. Look, 295 00:18:37.599 --> 00:18:39.519 it's a marsupial. I told you what I tell you. 296 00:18:39.680 --> 00:18:43.039 It keeps it's It's basically a kangaroo with a cat's face. 297 00:18:43.279 --> 00:18:46.119 Kiss my ass. I'm not even gonna if that if 298 00:18:46.119 --> 00:18:48.640 the if the Tasmanian tiger's in the zoo, I'm not 299 00:18:48.720 --> 00:18:51.279 going to look at it. I ain't going to look 300 00:18:51.319 --> 00:18:54.319 at it. I'm literally gonna skip the exhibition. And if 301 00:18:54.319 --> 00:18:57.400 a dire wolve's there, I'm probably gonna skip that too. Geez, 302 00:18:57.559 --> 00:18:59.480 when you get a wooly mammoth. Come talk to me. 303 00:18:59.519 --> 00:19:01.400 When you got a saber tooth, come talk to me, 304 00:19:01.680 --> 00:19:04.039 all right, when you get what is that? What is 305 00:19:04.079 --> 00:19:09.279 that badass thing? The the wolf bear? That that thing? 306 00:19:09.799 --> 00:19:12.440 There's a wolf bear that was a killer during the 307 00:19:12.480 --> 00:19:19.319 ice age, huge animal with a short snout, horrifying. It 308 00:19:19.359 --> 00:19:21.039 was like, bring that thing back? 309 00:19:23.920 --> 00:19:25.400 What ice age bear? 310 00:19:25.640 --> 00:19:30.319 Yeah? Yeah, the cave bear. I think that might be it. 311 00:19:31.720 --> 00:19:34.720 I don't know. And now it's something else, Yeah, right there, 312 00:19:34.799 --> 00:19:38.680 what is that thing? No, it's like a It looked 313 00:19:38.680 --> 00:19:40.920 like a I don't know, it's just a different thing. 314 00:19:41.039 --> 00:19:41.759 What does that say? 315 00:19:41.880 --> 00:19:42.079 Oh? 316 00:19:42.599 --> 00:19:43.359 Yeah, what's that? 317 00:19:43.960 --> 00:19:45.640 The giant short faced bear? 318 00:19:45.720 --> 00:19:50.519 There you go, the giant short face bear. Eleven feet tall, 319 00:19:50.880 --> 00:19:55.720 although so does a kodiak, Right, but eleven feet dude, 320 00:19:55.960 --> 00:20:01.279 I mean, come on, yeah, I don't know whoa Yeah, 321 00:20:01.319 --> 00:20:04.000 they don't. You're you're gonna be in some trouble there. 322 00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:06.200 Well, what do you think about playing god like this? 323 00:20:07.799 --> 00:20:10.240 I again, I think playing god is inevitable. I think 324 00:20:10.799 --> 00:20:14.559 human beings will always strive to get to the next frontier, 325 00:20:14.920 --> 00:20:18.720 whether that's Mars, whether that's bringing back animals that were 326 00:20:18.720 --> 00:20:24.880 long extinct. I think that that is that is what 327 00:20:24.960 --> 00:20:30.000 we will do whatever the human mind can conceive of. 328 00:20:30.519 --> 00:20:34.279 Whatever our imagination comes up with, I believe will ultimately 329 00:20:34.279 --> 00:20:35.039 be reality. 330 00:20:35.200 --> 00:20:37.039 I really, do you want to bring that back? 331 00:20:38.079 --> 00:20:40.440 I do? I want to bring it back. I don't 332 00:20:40.480 --> 00:20:42.960 want to. I don't want to release it into the wild. 333 00:20:43.319 --> 00:20:45.640 I don't think that's a good idea because he's probably 334 00:20:45.680 --> 00:20:47.920 gonna have zero fear of humans and look at humans 335 00:20:47.920 --> 00:20:50.759 as food. So I don't want to be hiking because 336 00:20:50.799 --> 00:20:54.720 my my nine millimeter I don't think it's going to 337 00:20:54.799 --> 00:20:58.319 do the job on that thing. I need. I need 338 00:20:58.319 --> 00:21:01.640 a forty five. And every time I hike, I gotta 339 00:21:01.680 --> 00:21:02.920 walk around with a forty five. 340 00:21:03.920 --> 00:21:07.000 It's amazing that size doesn't really matter in the fauna games. 341 00:21:07.480 --> 00:21:13.200 You know, yeah, yeah, size doesn't. It's also amazing that 342 00:21:13.279 --> 00:21:20.799 human beings can create a weapon that shoots, that shoots 343 00:21:20.799 --> 00:21:25.200 a slug that weighs about as much as two nickels, 344 00:21:26.000 --> 00:21:29.200 and I can stop that thing. I can just open 345 00:21:29.279 --> 00:21:33.799 up the valves in its heart and it becomes a 346 00:21:33.839 --> 00:21:37.839 catastrophic bleed that collapses at my feet because I hold 347 00:21:37.880 --> 00:21:43.599 my position and I go hold, go, go, gotch case 348 00:21:45.519 --> 00:21:53.839 hold straight out, both eyes open, heartfull eyes clear, no 349 00:21:53.920 --> 00:21:58.599 bear no, sorry, they brought you back. Time to go back. Gush, gush, gush, 350 00:21:58.720 --> 00:22:04.640 gush gush. Okay, they call me the reverser of all science. 351 00:22:05.839 --> 00:22:07.720 That's a bad name with my name. 352 00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:12.079 It's about name that sucked. That was a shit name. 353 00:22:13.640 --> 00:22:16.839 We're covering a lot of ground here, dire wolves. You 354 00:22:16.839 --> 00:22:19.359 know what's next. You know where dire wolves is leading. 355 00:22:19.920 --> 00:22:23.680 It's leading to t Rex. It's leading to t Rex. 356 00:22:23.680 --> 00:22:26.279 When you have t Rex. When the scientists come up 357 00:22:26.319 --> 00:22:29.039 with t Rex and we come up with an enclosure 358 00:22:29.160 --> 00:22:33.759 for t Rex, everybody on the planet is going to 359 00:22:33.799 --> 00:22:36.759 be looking. It's going to go. We're gonna be lined 360 00:22:36.839 --> 00:22:39.200 up to see that animal. It's going to be the craziest, 361 00:22:39.279 --> 00:22:41.440 biggest attraction of all time. 362 00:22:42.240 --> 00:22:45.480 Remus and Romulus, great names, the dire. 363 00:22:45.240 --> 00:22:46.960 Wolves, Remus and Romulus. 364 00:22:47.359 --> 00:22:51.359 Yes, I'm all right, moving on to your favorite topic. 365 00:22:54.359 --> 00:22:58.319 John Oliver, Oh, John Oliver. Yeah. John Oliver says, we 366 00:22:58.359 --> 00:23:04.720 don't have any evidence that transathletes male to female athletes 367 00:23:04.759 --> 00:23:08.039 competing in female sports. We don't have enough evidence that 368 00:23:08.079 --> 00:23:11.079 they have a total advantage all the time. And he 369 00:23:11.160 --> 00:23:13.440 was like, you know, sometimes a bigger body doesn't help 370 00:23:13.559 --> 00:23:16.920 in dance and stuff. That's fine, again, this is a 371 00:23:16.960 --> 00:23:21.880 guy using narrative to circumvent a truth all of us 372 00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:28.480 know is a truth. Like mammalian biology, there are fundamental 373 00:23:28.519 --> 00:23:37.160 differences and vast differences physiologically and mentally between males and females. 374 00:23:37.160 --> 00:23:40.079 If you have any doubt about that, see the behavior 375 00:23:40.160 --> 00:23:44.519 of any male lion or male animal versus female animal. 376 00:23:45.160 --> 00:23:49.400 Look at elephants, look at lions, look at chimps, but 377 00:23:49.519 --> 00:23:53.799 especially look at humans throughout history. And the idea that 378 00:23:53.920 --> 00:23:58.359 John Oliver us seven year olds. He used seven year 379 00:23:58.359 --> 00:24:01.880 olds as an example that a seven year old decides 380 00:24:01.920 --> 00:24:04.960 that they're trans. So John Oliver believes that children as 381 00:24:05.000 --> 00:24:08.559 young as seven apparently should know what their gender is, 382 00:24:08.920 --> 00:24:11.519 and that we should affirm a seven year old's agender 383 00:24:11.559 --> 00:24:13.640 because you know what's next with that, right, puberty blockers, 384 00:24:13.680 --> 00:24:16.720 then cross sex hormones and sterilizing a kid before their 385 00:24:16.720 --> 00:24:19.920 brain's even developed. So John Oliver is not only a moron, 386 00:24:19.960 --> 00:24:23.640 fairly funny, fairly funny. It's not that I dislike. I 387 00:24:23.680 --> 00:24:26.599 actually think he's kind of funny, and I think he's witty, 388 00:24:26.640 --> 00:24:28.839 and he's got good writers. I don't watch the show 389 00:24:28.880 --> 00:24:31.720 a lot, but John Oliver is a moron. If he's 390 00:24:31.759 --> 00:24:36.039 actually on the side of trans athletes men being allowed 391 00:24:36.079 --> 00:24:39.640 to be in women's sports, he's a moron and he 392 00:24:39.720 --> 00:24:42.200 deserves to be ridiculed. But more importantly, I've seen John 393 00:24:42.200 --> 00:24:45.240 Oliver the shirt off on the beach in Santa Monica. 394 00:24:45.640 --> 00:24:50.039 He looked like somebody put glasses on ripe fruit, all 395 00:24:50.119 --> 00:24:55.759 right on a pair. He's never done a fucking sport 396 00:24:55.759 --> 00:24:58.559 in his life. Line up ninety nine sports. I'll beat 397 00:24:58.640 --> 00:25:00.920 him at every sport he can work on every one 398 00:25:00.960 --> 00:25:03.440 of those sports for ten years. That dude has never 399 00:25:03.440 --> 00:25:06.880 come into contact with physical, objective reality. He has no 400 00:25:06.960 --> 00:25:09.079 idea what the fuck he's talking about. When it comes 401 00:25:09.079 --> 00:25:13.799
