[00:04:40.940 –> 00:04:50.540] It’s not good. No. Yeah, you find a different hobby It’s not a good I did you ever see the video where the guy is trying to fly in between the arches of a bridge

[00:04:51.500 –> 00:05:06.140] The sound the clang of metal when his meat and bones hit that bridge. It was terrible There’s like a a watermelon traveling at 200 miles an hour impacting metal yeah, and uh

[00:05:06.860 –> 00:05:21.500] And you can’t imagine what that sound like you imagine what that sound would be until you hear it And that was a watermelon with bone slamming against metal which was a human which is now nothing nothing a splatter It’s instantaneous. I mean he’s probably going 100 miles an hour

[00:05:22.460 –> 00:05:42.140] You know, yeah faster probably. Yeah. Yeah, how fast you go with those things like if um 140 So like if you’re in a dive position you’re going 160 to 200 miles an hour And um, and if you’re stable flying, you know, maybe 140 160

[00:05:42.140 –> 00:05:53.980] Yeah, so when when when you’re like navigating like he was I I bet he was going 140 150 miles an hour Jesus, which really makes you appreciate nature and evolution that the perigand falcon

[00:05:54.620 –> 00:06:07.340] Does like what does it do like 220 or something insane and can change on a dime just like flip You can go up to 220 horizontally. Oh Oh fast 220 in a car fucking feels insane

[00:06:07.900 –> 00:06:19.180] I’ve never done it. I don’t know but I mean I’ve done I’ve done like we went to the local racetrack that place up there kota Oh, our lights not on we went to kota recently and kota gives gets up to like

[00:06:20.300 –> 00:06:34.140] I mean we were in a Lamborghini went to like 147 that feels fucking insane at a racetrack I got this thing going. You got it. You got it. Oh, there we go. Yeah that that Long straight away into that almost 180 turn

[00:06:34.940 –> 00:06:44.220] On a motorcycle is one of the scariest things I have ever felt. Have you done that track? Yeah. Oh, that track is awesome Yeah, I mean except for that like my testicles were up into my stomach

[00:06:44.620 –> 00:06:59.580] And I thought i’m a brave courageous human and then I was just 100 powered on a racetrack Right. Well at least if you wipe out you just kind of like Yeah, we were watching formula one there that is fucking wild those guys are flying

[00:07:00.060 –> 00:07:09.180] They’re going so much faster than regular cars You can really get a perspective when you’ve actually driven around the car in like a gt car The track rather and then you see those guys

[00:07:11.420 –> 00:07:20.620] It’s wild. Oh, and there’s levels too, you know every time that I think that i’m good at something Then you go with somebody that’s actually good at that thing. Yes, and then you’re just like I am so

[00:07:21.180 –> 00:07:31.180] Trash, yeah, I thought I knew how to drive a car until I got lessons and like oh, I suck at driving too Great. You have the long litany of things that I suck at. Yeah, which are just made so

[00:07:31.820 –> 00:07:42.460] Clear and then unfortunately I don’t want to suck at it. So now I have this new addiction And now I want to go to the fucking track all the time Which is not the best thing for like time management

[00:07:42.860 –> 00:07:49.420] Because it’s a fucking full day thing, you know, it’s like golf or something like that Like I’ve never played golf and I won’t play golf because it’s a time management thing

[00:07:49.900 –> 00:07:59.900] Like I don’t have that like ron white and tony hinge cliff they go out and they play for fucking eight hours I’m like bro. I don’t have eight hours ever Eight hours you get stuff done on the golf course, but no you don’t

[00:08:00.860 –> 00:08:13.020] Maybe if you’re a hedge fund manager and you want to figure out how to rip people off I enjoy the I’m shooting and golf have a lot in common like precision rifle. Yeah So I I enjoy that portion of it

[00:08:13.020 –> 00:08:22.700] So I definitely don’t need to do this other thing with a club and a ball I have a pool addiction which is very similar billiards. You know play I play pool at a pretty high level

[00:08:23.180 –> 00:08:39.580] I I have a real problem with that. I could play eight nine hours a day. Those are easy. Those are dorks Yeah, real pool nerds. Oh, yeah are They’re genius. Yeah, and they’re weird And they’re so freaking good. They’re so fucking smart

[00:08:39.660 –> 00:08:51.020] That’s what’s crazy like really good pool players are fucking smart Because you have to be because you have to it’s problem solving You have to figure out how to manage geometry and also feel

[00:08:51.580 –> 00:09:09.900] And then you have to execute the shot too under pressure very similar to jiu-jitsu and in the archery Yeah, this physical application of this mental complex problem. Yeah, that is you know in real time changing Every second. Yeah, I think jiu-jitsu is the most complex of those things

[00:09:10.300 –> 00:09:22.300] In the most but it’s also the one that breaks your body the most. That’s the problem with jiu-jitsu I’m doing really good in this long. I’ve totally changed Now that all of these monsters have moved to austin and uh what I

[00:09:23.100 –> 00:09:35.020] Another example of where I thought I was just this freak grappler until I met real freak grapplers And I’m like man. I’m not even top 20, you know I’m I’m maybe top 100 now

[00:09:35.180 –> 00:09:47.820] And so that realization with the Jean-Claude Badonis and the Gordon Rhyans and Victor Hugo’s and the Marigold He’s in the Craig Joneses, you know like wild how many fucking people are you Sean they’re all in my dream too.

[00:11:07.500 –> 00:11:19.580] I’m so intentional about what my roles are who my live goes or with Um, you know the that’s important. It’s so important and also keeping you’re very good at keeping up your physical body

[00:11:19.900 –> 00:11:33.180] Which a lot of people are not they just roll. Yeah, and they just train which you really can’t no I my I split my my effort in a week Almost evenly between, you know grappling striking physical development strength speed

[00:11:33.740 –> 00:11:42.940] Um, and then like that long recovery longevity aspect of it Like yeah, that’s how my my week is broken into for my training. You almost have to treat your body like a pit crew

[00:11:43.740 –> 00:11:51.980] You know like you really have to like change your fucking tires. You got to do the whole thing You have to you can’t just like how they look good. No, you got to like really treat it like there’s a

[00:11:53.260 –> 00:12:06.540] Methodical approach that must be done in order to race. Yeah if you want to train You kind of have to do that. Yeah, yeah It’s not good for the ego I got I got away with it when I was you know 25 and fighting

[00:12:06.860 –> 00:12:20.140] But uh, yeah, well you got away with it while you’re also active duty, which is pretty crazy Yeah, I should have um been a little bit more intentional and disciplined about how I spent my time I I took youth for granted

[00:12:20.940 –> 00:12:35.980] Everybody does yeah youth has wasted on the young Isn’t it wild especially when you’re dumb You know that is hard Well most young people are dumb. Yeah, it’s supposed young people that do the kind of stuff that we enjoy. Yeah, we did dumb stuff

[00:12:38.460 –> 00:12:51.100] How’s life everything’s good man, everything’s really good shooting bow yesterday my buddy Tyson Got rob from roka sent gave him a bow Another great person that does great things for people that I resent. Oh rob’s great

[00:12:51.260 –> 00:13:00.300] Yeah, like you never gave me a bow like I was never given a bow like how does this just happen? So he came over and do you want one? No, no, no. I got a great. I got a great bow. Where do you get a bow from?

[00:13:00.540 –> 00:13:11.660] Um from archery country. Oh, okay. Yeah, that’s my spot. Yeah, I was there this morning got um I got an archery country teacher right here. Yeah. Yeah. I got six new arrows today. Um, I

[00:13:13.180 –> 00:13:24.140] Shot through one of my archery targets and it hit the wood in the back And I was like inspecting my arrow and I saw like there’s just little tiny fine line along the side of it And I was like you’re done. Oh carbon. Yeah, shoot in carbon. Yeah

[00:13:24.140 –> 00:13:33.340] You got to be really careful about that a lot of those explode and it goes through people’s hands I can’t I love those videos. I can’t watch them, but I love them. Do you watch them? You do I’ve seen them. Yeah, I don’t enjoy them

[00:13:33.660 –> 00:13:42.140] I check all my shit up religiously though because of that I used to I had a teflon glove that I tried to wear for a while A lot of guys wear a teflon glove to make sure that never happens

[00:13:42.220 –> 00:13:56.860] But it’s like it’s never happened to me. I’ve been shooting a bow for 10 years I love it. Yeah, it’s great. I’ve built a about 180 degree 3d archery range in the backyard and back three acres. Yeah, I got full-size elk and Oh, yeah

[00:13:56.860 –> 00:14:07.020] And pigs and coyotes and uh bunch of little deer so anywhere from 100 yards and I hate that I have to say yards Instead of meters. Yeah, we should have changed over

[00:14:07.100 –> 00:14:19.500] We almost did when I was in like I guess I was in high school and they were trying to change everybody over It’s just so much easier. It makes more sense America’s so fucked up with that. We’re like, nah Fuck the rest of the world inches, bitch

[00:14:19.820 –> 00:14:35.020] We made it to the moon off off inches and feet great. Thanks It’s a long time ago and fuck soccer The rest of the world is like on the metric system like I love how England still sticks with power. Well, they do stone

[00:14:35.820 –> 00:14:46.060] They’re still with the stone thing dumbest unit of measurement When we used to do fights over there and I had to do the wayans I used to have to say stone as well as pounds It’s like, okay

[00:14:46.060 –> 00:14:56.620] Why are we doing that? Is this confusing when I just say pounds? It’s confusing enough when we have to throw on how much somebody weighs in kilos and then how much they weigh in pounds And we throw in stones. Yeah, and we’re just like, okay

[00:14:57.180 –> 00:15:05.580] Kilos Celsius all that like I was watching this video this guy was talking about well It’s 30 degrees out. So it’s a nice day to go out and shoot. I was like 30 degrees

[00:15:05.740 –> 00:15:17.180] I was like, oh, he’s in Canada. All right. Okay economist using that bullshit metric system. They really are right now They are They’re full on I never thought it would happen that fast bro. It’s so bad

[00:15:17.260 –> 00:15:32.300] I’m worried that my podcast is going to be censored in Canada because it’s going to pass some new fucking legislation where they’re allowed to Like the whole idea is like it’s under the guise of Canadian content because they have a Canadian content law

[00:15:32.700 –> 00:15:44.060] Where they like you have to have a certain amount of Canadian based content on like the radio and television and stuff like that You can’t just have all stuff from all over the world. Whatever people like you have to have like a certain percentage of it

[00:15:44.060 –> 00:15:59.820] Has to be Canadian And so under the guise of that but really it’s true dough trying to enforce censorship on podcast because They always do it in the cover and every dangerous

[00:16:00.460 –> 00:16:14.780] Freedom censoring group does it under this idea of they’re doing it for the greater good. Yeah, you know, it’s like whether it’s diversity equity and inclusion Or it’s making sure that Pro not disinformation or misinformation is being populated within the masses

[00:16:15.020 –> 00:16:28.220] It’s it’s always through this veil of no no it’s for your benefit But you pull the veil back a little bit and you it’s just censorship It’s just control. Yeah, they’re they’re just trying to manipulate what information is available for people to

[00:16:28.780 –> 00:16:39.820] To try to base their opinions off of have you ever seen that video of true dough from like 10 years ago? I mean it might have been from more might have been like 2010 and he’s talking about how he’s opposed to

[00:16:40.220 –> 00:16:56.140] Do you got coffee in there? Yeah, salute my friend. Cheers um He’s opposed to regulations with guns because he’s like regulations are the first step That they take and the ultimate goal is to remove your gun. So we will not have regulations

[00:16:56.460 –> 00:17:07.340] Like he’s talking about this like in 2010 or 2011. Yeah, well, I mean he was following a playbook So he absolutely didn’t believe that though because he knew that in You know within a decade

[00:17:07.340 –> 00:17:20.540] He would be trying to confiscate every single gun that he could get his hands on and make Transfer of pistols illegal with illegal. It’s illegal. Yeah, if I have a pistol and I want to sell you a pistol I cannot that’s it so wild

[00:17:20.940 –> 00:17:39.500] It’s so wild how quick it changed over there They use covet to just Enforce these sweeping legislations across all sectors. They don’t have a free speech They don’t have a first amendment over there. So they have hate speech laws which are being interpreted so vaguely

[00:17:39.820 –> 00:17:58.780] And this is what jordan peterson was rallying against like back when they had this bill that was set up to make people Use someone’s gender identity and he was like what what what gender identity you’re talking about? There’s 78 current Gender identities that someone can choose to identify with

[00:17:59.420 –> 00:18:12.940] Including just complete nonsense made up words and use and it’s going to keep going I don’t know how many of them there are now, but he’s like the only way you enforce this is with You’re gonna have to use force And it’s like the rule of law now

[00:18:12.940 –> 00:18:26.780] It’s like you’re gonna send armed thugs to arrest people for not using made up words like this is where this goes Especially peterson who knows so much about communism and so much about where the the darkness that it leads down to

[00:18:28.300 –> 00:18:40.860] I love that he approaches it both from like a philosophical perspective and a historical perspective You know, he he is so well versed and knowledgeable and and The the the argument that they’re making from this position

[00:18:41.020 –> 00:18:49.420] This is where it leads to and not only do we understand this in human nature And here’s a bunch of examples of it, but then also historically Here’s a bunch of examples of it

[00:18:49.420 –> 00:18:59.020] So it makes it really hard to dispute what what is really logical and rational and okay If you’re here and they want to go from point A to point B. This is the process for them to get there

[00:18:59.740 –> 00:19:12.940] And uh, like yeah another brilliant man that does a lot of good Well, you need a guy like him who has such a deep understanding of history And also is a clinical psychologist who understands the human mind on a very very deep level

[00:19:13.260 –> 00:19:25.420] So he can explain things in a way that is Almost impossible to refute like he’s got all his bases covered when he had discussed as a subject and he can Fucking pull it off of his head

[00:19:25.500 –> 00:19:40.940] The guy uses no notes and he just will quote things and explain things in the most complex manner and make it Make it absorbable to everybody Yeah, he and I are uh We’re in a parallel fight right now on the education side

[00:19:41.340 –> 00:19:53.740] You know, I have apogee which is I have a physical school here And we have an online mentorship and we’re launching an additional 50 schools this year Started a big huge foundation the apogee foundation all to just to try to turn this public school

[00:19:54.060 –> 00:20:09.580] Problem on its ear as we’ve indoctrinated this entire generation to hate america Um, and you know, we’re in a really scary position Militaries having recruiting issues Um, you know, we’re having identity problems in every imaginable way with this, you know

[00:20:09.820 –> 00:20:25.580] Gen Z and millennials just not knowing what their purpose is And when you look at the public school system and the department of education, it’s just a broken system Um teachers are great most of them on majority. I think have a real Pure heart to do good

[00:20:25.580 –> 00:20:45.420] But they’re in a system that is forcing them or they’re allowing to Manipulate kids to radicalize them into into really anti-american ideas Um and something has to change because the current trajectory We’re screwed, you know the the lack of

[00:20:45.420 –> 00:20:59.180] individual responsibility and as jocco would say extreme ownership of what the issues are and how to solve them Are are absolutely absent. Um, you know, we have entitlements. We have um, you know, accepting these identities

[00:20:59.260 –> 00:21:13.260] We have obviously this mental health crisis and all of it really goes back when you look at The pandering that is happening in public schools for
