Yeah, he would have made you.
You had to lose.
I want to see Elvis or Steven Seagal do some sparring.
See, I thought he had some of those videos where he was like, he just touched somebody and they would fly across the room.
Yeah, he had like a seventh degree or some crazy shit.
He had the Elvis black belt.
He'd never really leave it down.
Yeah, this is Elvis.
personal insight and if you're not very objective and introspective you will buy into that and you'll start behaving and believing like that and then comes the pills yeah dude i think yourself back up i think that's where we benefit from like a solo act is that we have five you have five individuals that are going to check each other we always say the pack will correct yes
So if somebody acted out, you know, we might let you go for a couple days, but then you're going to wake up and we have a come-to-Jesus meeting.
All of us have had that at some point in our careers together.
That's exactly how we think.
Get in your car with bad BO.
I'm like a- Leave that smell in your car.
Dry heaving up front.
Driving 100 miles an hour to get him out the car.
Once you get on that dark side of Instagram, usually it's when Brandon sends me reels.
Brandon will always be finding himself on that bad part and then he sends it to me and then I'm 30 minutes deep into feeling uncomfortable with my life.
Your arms aren't gonna be proportionate either.
So does it look proportionate?
Totally looks normal.
I mean, do you think eventually you would get the strength in the right places?
Then we're going to be birthing super babies once they, like, the things usually always seem like they start good and then they go really bad.
And then we're creating super humans in the womb.
See, that's where ethics gets a little weird because then you're playing God then.
And Tuskegee, Alabama with the syphilis back in the day.
They were just seeing what would happen.
Well, it's still like human experimenting without them knowing.
It's a very scary situation.
Our generation was probably the last to not have – I mean, we didn't have technology growing up.
We had dial-up internet, and we didn't get that until I was, you know, 43, middle school.
We didn't grow up rich, so... That's my argument, just to play around that.
Even down to the phone.
If you have something different than somebody, they automatically don't like you.
It can be religion.
It can be politics.
It can be the dang phone in your pocket.
I'm glad I married an iPhone user, I'll tell you that.
I'm glad my wife has an iPhone, and we can send cool emojis.
See, you say that.
He is from where we are from.
I'm supporting a local.
Now, has he ever put an Apple store in Mobile, Alabama?
Do we deserve one?
Maybe the phone should be made in America one day.
But American company?
Don't they have their own phone as well?
I forgot what it's called.
They have a special Chinese phone.
Heck yeah, dude.
That's always been something that does not bother me personally.
I don't have anything to hide, first of all.
What about your DMs?
The problem is not that.
No, they should not.
I got called a lesbian so many times.
It's a control thing.
Well, you can guarantee the government's got everything.
I think they can make it illegal and we still wouldn't know.
Aren't they about to start or they already have the social point system?
Social credit score.
Yeah, social credit score.
And now you're using it as a justification for digital ID.
I just watched one this morning, actually, about it was a British judge.
A guy got sentenced.
For however many years for 20 months.
Social media for a social media post.
It's about immigration.
It's complaining about immigration.
Well, hopefully that's true.
Some people's livestock's, Brandon, popping up dead, too.
A bunch of cattle.
Look how fucking cute.
It's going to turn into the moon here in a second.
That looks like a weather balloon.
Maybe it's one of them Chinese spy balloons again.
You should go investigate.
He looks like Matthew McConaughey.
I don't want to.
People will trust what you say.
I mean, you see flashes.
That's the problem.
Interdimensional angelic beings.
Is that what he's calling them?
That's what it says.
I'd like to see some documentation.
My dad was healed.
Go out there, dude.
They simply come when we ask in prayer.
Countless others were healed too.
Well, it's China.
Well, it's a mass casualty of some sort.
I mean, what else can cause that?
We got one passing by pretty soon, right?
I've been following that one a little bit.
They think it's a spaceship.
They think it's something.
You know, whatever it is.
For it to come outside of our solar system on this path is just very bizarre.
I didn't even know there was dwarf planets in our solar system.
There's planets that aren't like regular planets, but I didn't learn about those.
I might have learned that three years ago.
It's pretty wild to think that they're there and we never learned about them.
It's still interesting to talk about and theorize, you know?
How advanced do you think?
Are they actively trying to figure it out, like get in there?
Because people were shorter relatively back then.
Pituitary gland problems, you know, where we have guys 7 foot 11 plus, you know.
Yeah, but this seems different.
No, nothing's wrong with being a lesbian.
Not until they did their own, you know, figured it out for themselves or tested on what they want.
Giant femur bones.
They would want to have, you know, secretly do their own test without anybody knowing about it.
I know, but to what end?
At what point in time?
Before everybody else knows.
They would already have the answers.
I'm just a heterosexual male.
With a wonderful mustache.
And me and John, I mean, we can, it's really weird how when we first started, like we can, we know, a lot when we played in those bars, it was improvised.
Start decoding it.
That's an interesting way of doing it.
I would have never thought of that.
You know, we're playing covers, we're not even playing them the right way, and we can hit those pauses without even looking at each other.
Like we just know what each other's gonna do.
knows you got it, it's going to be ours.
Well, yeah, you would imagine.
We're going to take it.
Or they might not know at all.
So as a bass player, your drummer's your best friend.
Even though we're, me and John probably butt heads more than anybody in the band, but that's the relationship.
Train by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day!
To me, it feels like we could, it's just to scare the Soviets.
Like, oh, we got people with superpowers.
We know where the submarine is.
Or they're doing it too.
Or they're doing it too.
That's an interesting concept, yeah.
That is a big part of the problem with a band, is that you guys just get on each other's nerves, right?
That whole Cold War time is also just wild.
I see why we would have faked a lot of stuff on both sides.
It's just a big bluff game of we can do this, we have this.
Well, once we went to NASA in Texas, but also that documentary, the other footage that came out.
I don't really know.
I can see why we would fake it.
I mean, it's the Soviets.
Yeah, I can see why we would fake it.
We'd fake anything.
I mean, just like any other... I mean, we're just like brothers.
Well, it's a group of guys, and you're traveling all year round.
You'll get pissed off at each other, for sure.
If a band says they don't get pissed off, they're lying.
Or they just don't like each other for real.
Something we actually learned as men was how to talk about your feelings with each other, too.
We definitely did it.
Because in the early stages, I had anger issues.
So it just makes sense that they would fake it.
And the blow of Sputnik flying over the United States.
Everybody could see it.
It's like, we can put this right above your country.
Most of history.
I'm not 100% believer.
I'd just get pissed off real quick.
Was it about the mustache?
And who's to say they're not still doing that?
It was easier to trust.
No, I didn't have the mustache yet.
That would be, I want that.
Those conversations are strange.
One of my favorite thing is the pizza ordering at the Pentagon.
When shit starts to go down, the spike in pizza ordering because people are working late.
And it just spiked.
I saw, I think a couple weeks ago because I brought it up.
Maybe that's what it was.
I got a notification.
It's like pizza spike.
It was at a time, it was at a high that was like the Panama stuff, Vietnam high.
Isn't that funny?
They're ordering pizza.
You had long hair.
Is it a South Park episode?
No, we live in a South Park episode.
I didn't talk about my feelings growing up as a kid.
Supposedly that's not healthy.
But John, you know, he would show up hammered to the bus, and I just had to learn to just bite my tongue.
And it just got wild.
They don't like when the elites don't like when the curtain's pulled back.
Well, that was the curtain being pulled back.
Why did they stop digging?
Are they still digging?
Because I know Elon's not in the White House anymore.
Like, you're not going to change somebody's mind.
It was supposed to be a temporary thing.
But it just seems like it all just stopped.
Just let them go and talk about it tomorrow.
But we all had things we worked on together, stuff like that.
Oh, yeah, we make fun of that all the time.
Yeah, someone just took a still image, you know?
Well, it's like the whole right's being called Nazis.
Why are we throwing that word around?
Everybody's a Nazi, and if you're not, you're a communist.
Well, just communists are real.
Everything's so extreme right now.
Have you seen that?
They burnt his bus down.
You haven't seen this?
I didn't mean to interrupt you on it, but it just hit me.
I saw that a couple days ago.
Yeah, burned it to the ground.
Oh, I'd love to see Ice Cube's reaction.
Yeah, we've done it.
We actually had a good show there, but when you walk around... Oh, the people are so happy.
It is zombie apocalypse.
And we were just... Another one's San Francisco.
We've never... First time for us going to San Francisco was about a month ago.
And we were in whatever they call the Tenderloin, and it is a madhouse.
There's people blowing up fireworks, some homeless people blowing up these fireworks in the middle of the night on the street.
Me and Drew's just watching them out the window.
We're watching crime happen.
You're probably the only one that's supposed to know that.
Well, everybody knows now.
We don't have insane asylums anymore or anything.
That's not good either.
We would hope we'd have some good ones.
And we keep eating it up.
And doubling down.
It could be like, if the president said, don't go buy, or something about bananas.
You go, everybody should have a banana today.
The left would never eat another banana in the day of their life.
Look at this Tylenol thing.
Or the Tylenol thing.
Look at this Tylenol.
Because they took too much.
I knew it was going to happen.
It's full of TikTok.
Pregnant women just taking Tylenol.
Just out of spite.
Everybody was on the same team for at least a year.
Oh, he was super divisive before that.
Maybe that's it.
Yeah, they did it back then, too.
I'll see myself out.
Just go ahead and walk the other way.
A little late then.
I'd have to make a stop at Purgatory on the way.
That's where I'll be.
You're going to get purged.
I'll be there eventually.
But music is the great uniter.
We have, yeah, I mean, we talk about, we have like a little random Bible study that pop up.
We just talk about the Bible while I pull out my catechism.
Hey, he might be sending you.
I'm going to see y'all in that.
When was Catholicism established?
With Jesus Christ when he was crucified.
That's when it was started?
Yeah, he told St.
Peter, I'll build on top of you.
You are the rock I will build my church on.
You know where his bones are?
Peter's Basilica.
Peter's Basilica is wild.
Just went for my honeymoon.
Even if you're not Catholic, just going there, they have a whole museum.
Are we going in Europe?
No, that's down in Rome.
We won't make it that far.
Yeah, the Vatican.
And you have to wait in line.
Yeah, you have to wait in line to enter in the morning when we went.
They have so much art.
It's just other houses.
It's literally like you walk in and you're just covered in chills.
Catholics, you can enter.
Anglican will charge you.
And there's a whole crypt underneath with all the...
I really couldn't imagine sitting on an airplane next to somebody smoking a cigarette.
They were actually talking to each other.
And by the way, the stewardesses were hot.
Also, what happened to fashion?
These people are dressed up very nice on an airplane.
And now people are showing up in yoga pants.
That's the first one.
Don't be hating on yoga pants, bro.
I should have worn mine, dang it.
I don't know why people were calling me a lesbian.
Theo Vaughn comments coming back.
People were like, oh, he looks like Matthew McConaughey.
I was like, dang, when did he talk about me?
And it was Brandon.
And they're like, who's this mustache lesbian that keeps talking?
Who came up with the name?
I was like, dang.
Yeah, what did I do?
Yeah, I don't read those.
I just have Brandon send me screenshots.
Did you get in there, right?
Yeah, my feelings will get hurt.
It's not an interesting story at all.
Drew's here down 40-plus pounds in the last how long?
We get asked all the time.
No, we were at a, just in that first stage of, like coming up with a band name is the hardest thing in the world.
I mean, it will cure a lot of things, just exercise alone.
And we had nothing really that we liked.
It just blows my mind, even growing up as a kid, all these fat-burning pills and all these shortcuts to lose weight and the Ozempic thing.
There's no shortcut.
It is diet and exercise.
We had the Dirtleg Trio, Brandon Lane and the Hurricane.
Don't just exist.
I hope that for America, we'll get fit again.
Well, that would be nice.
Well, I think like with our grandparents, the importance wasn't known yet of how important moving, like if you don't use your joints, you're going to lose them when you're old.
And that's why we have old people are all slumped over and old.
I hope when our generation gets there, we know how important exercise is.
And when we're 80 years old, we can still run a mile, you know.
And then he shot that over.
Through the Nazis.
Like spreading intestines across the wall to see how GI tracts work.
Some sick people.
I might have voted on that.
I'm going to need a week to think about.
Japan is real bad.
Isn't China's upside down?
I wonder why it's the Asian countries.
I'd like to see where they're the highest and where they're the lowest and see, you know, is it like Europe?
Is it northern Europe producing more children?
Yeah, you got swallowed up immediately as you walked in the door.
I was like, you want to talk to him?
I'm just going to send it, buddy.
I'll do this for you.
I just get out of there.
You had like six people you were carrying a conversation with at one time.
We weren't about to be on top of that.
We know we will cross paths when time is needed.
It seems so bad for you to just, I mean, it is, obviously.
100% terrible for you.
I mean, they're concussed and then standing right back up there to get hit again.
I mean, has there been a second impact syndrome case yet in Power Slap?
Power Slap's only been around for a couple years.
That connection, though, when they hit and you don't have a glove on, you see them.
You see the shock it puts through you.
I was like, dang, I missed it again.
Is the White House thing?
There's a concert aspect to it.
We want to put our name in a bucket.
Who's supposed to perform so far?
I don't think anybody yet.
The trick is you got to scoop then.
It shouldn't be polarized.
I'd like to meet Trump, but I'd also like to meet Obama.
He seems pretty dang cool.
You got to get your stuff out the way.
It doesn't seem comfortable.
I've been doing it for a long time.
