Joe Rogan Experience #1307 - Greg Fitzsimmons

yeah boom and we're live what are you doing greg i'm looking up the title of a
book i want to talk
about which book it's an audio book and it was about reconstruction oh we what
we were just
talking about with slaves yeah and it was about how you know once the uh um
once the slaves were
freed they still perpetuated slavery by um it's called uh and i gotta find it
by slavery by another
name by douglas douglas blackman and it's about how they would they had they
put loitering laws in all
around the country and they would find black people and if they were standing
around they would arrest
them or if there was like a petty larceny or a domestic violence thing they'd
arrest them for
two years with the trial with one judge and no jury and the judge was very
often a uh a magistrate of
the coal mining company they'd send the the the prisoner to a coal mine for two
years where he'd
work seven days a week with shackles on and they would whip them and if they
tried to escape
they tracked them down with dogs and they beat them sometimes to death and this
went on for decades
jesus christ so people talk about well slavery ended back no forms of slavery
went on for a long time not
only that slavery ended and what effort was done to sort of rectify the
situation what effort was done
to like try to give even opportunities for people who grew up in african-american
cities that were
predominantly slaves before 1865 yeah like what what's ever been done 40 acres
and a mule do they ever get
that is that real i don't know i think it was a but even even if you're dealing
with that even if some
people got 40 acres and a mule like what is that enough no like the whole thing
is crazy like if you have
an entire country that the ancestors that did most of the work did it against
their will
and then you're just like yeah yeah yeah well you don't have to do that anymore
and then people are like we want reparations and white people are like that was
a hundred years ago
do you know in georgetown do you read about this georgetown university is um
giving reparations to
the slaves that built the university so that the families of the slaves they
tracked them down with
like 23andme or one of those companies and they they're knocking on doors and
they're like uh hey
are you blah blah blah well your great great grandfather built georgetown
university and
they're assessing the students i don't think it's official yet but it looks
like it's happening
my concern they're assessing the students like 50 bucks each or something my
big concern is that it's
gonna go the other way they're gonna track down people's dna and gonna go we
found out that your
family profited from slavery like yeah i'm 22 yeah right what the did i do yeah
give me all your money
all of your money all your ill-gotten gains yeah and you'd be like but no no no
no my dad had a
legitimate job he worked for h and r block and this and that yeah yeah yeah but
his grandfather got his
money to raise his dad because he had slaves yeah well wasn't schwarzenegger's
grandfather an ss
we're gonna talk about that he was uh was he yeah his grandfather was i think
he was a green shirt
whoa what you know like there's a kid named uh john gotti the third it's john
gotti the gangster's
grandson yeah he's an mma fighter oh no and he's good no he's good yeah wow so
far he's fighting
on these uh small promotions but he's people up and he's jacked wow yeah yeah i
remember john
because i lived uh on mulberry street in yeah i remember that place and it was
a tenement apartment
and downstairs literally downstairs and one door over was the ravenite social
club which was where
gotti met on wednesday nights yeah all the bosses would pull up and the the capos
and i don't know
the terms but they lined up limos right up mulberry street oh yeah they'd walk
up and down the street
smoking cigars and john gotti jr was kind of in charge at that time which i
guess would be this guy's
father yes and uh he apparently wasn't known as being that sharp oh and uh well
the family kind
of fell apart since then i don't i don't think there's uh i think the fbi just
had unlimited
resources government backing and they slowly picked the organization apart and
then got people to rat on
each other they bugged the ravenite social club they got inside and they bugged
it and then when they
found out it was bugged the uh the wise guys would walk up and down mulberry
street and talk about
their business so they both the cars on the route they bugged the hubcaps of
the cars on the route
you heard about that yeah yeah yeah well that was always the thing about that
guy the chin
what's his name uh the chin gigiante how the fuck do you say his name vincent
the chin he was crazy
but he wasn't crazy but he would act crazy so he'd walk around in the bathroom
right yeah because he was
up on trial he was out on bail just say he was out of his mind yeah that's
right wandered through the
streets with a bathrobe on playing crazy that's him oh i'm crazy i'm just
walking around i'm crazy
that would be fun bugged him too that'd be fun to pretend you're crazy i think
he was actually the
guy that they got with the hubcaps oh yeah or maybe one maybe they used that
tactic more than once
yeah these guys you know they had a neighborhood where they would go to and
when they were in that
neighborhood that was their their territory right like when you were living
there was that going on
like god he was out of jail no god he was in jail he was in jail yeah but they
still they still
showed up most of the guys i think i think their real headquarters is more in
brooklyn but they
still came back to mulberry street and it is literally across the street was uh
st patrick's school
which is where robert de niro and scorsese went to school as kids and where you
remember the film
mean streets yeah that was shot remember they jump over the wall into the
cemetery that's that's uh
st patrick's school and it's across from the ravenite social club i don't
remember anything about
that movie i remember the movie but i don't remember anything about what
happened in it i need to see
that one again yeah i need to see that one again you know what i saw again
recently bullet oh so did
i really see it on the plane i think i did see they show it on a plane now yeah
united or something
what that that's my car i saw that movie when i was young and i said i want
that 69 fastback
mustang that's a badass car beautiful car yeah 68 is it 68 67 or 68 yeah it's a
68. this is a very
specific shape that the 68 had they had like the best rear end uh-huh it's a
beautiful though they
had really a cool uh setup with the rear tail tail lights at 68. it's a little
broader it's just it was
weird looking yeah just real unusual and compared to some of the other mustangs
but i love it yeah it's my
favorite i think and you watch those movies like that and you realize you think
it's going to be
there's one big car chase that's it yeah and it's long it's long and it's slow
yeah but movies were
different they were different they weren't afraid to do a tracking shot for two
minutes with no dialogue
yeah just just follow a guy walking walking down the street yeah we just assume
people are stupid as
fuck and because of comments and because stupid people want to comment so often
the signals all
skewed towards stupid you know like a movie like you ever see le mans with steve
mcqueen another great
steven queen movie there's no talking at all for like the first x amount of
minutes of the movie there's
no talking it's just cars racing right and him driving around and shit yeah
there's no talking yeah and
if you were a movie theater today and there was no talking people like is this
broken i know did you
forget the fucking part where the guy talks dude fucking talk it is look there
is say something the
original uh 68 mustang and that's also a 68 charger that he's in a race with
the original 68 mustang
i think just went for sale i think somebody just bought it look at that you
mean the one from this
movie yeah yeah they had hero cars you know because they wrecked a few of these
fuckers yeah if they're
doing like how many cars did they wreck and gone with gone in 60 seconds that
nicholas cage movie
we drove that eleanor mustang yeah well dude you know how many orange
challenges do you think they
needed to get for uh dukes of hazards oh my god i mean they wrecked one in
every episode that to me is
one of the more interesting episodes in our culture that that show which was a
beloved part of our past
is now taboo you will never find it anywhere because the confederate flag on
the roof and when we were
kids oh yeah that's a deal breaker it's fucking kkk it's racism it's white
sheets it's when we were
kids it meant the south yeah it didn't mean the same thing there's a poster
that i have over the pisser
from leonard skinner concert from like some sometime during the 70s they have a
giant confederate
flag behind them on stage yeah but it didn't mean they were racist it meant
they were from the south
but somewhere along the line it shifted this is where the argument gets weird
right because
people will say hey it's not about that it's about southern pride i understand
it used to be about
southern pride but now unfortunately that flag is now connected to racism so
you're sending out a bad
signal yeah so what you want that flag to mean for you that's great but what
that flag means for other
people is now changed yeah and you either accept that or you know you're
fighting against it oh you
can't get me to this means this today but people don't they're not think people
don't have time
to rationally consider whether or not you're racist or whether or not you're
from the south
what are you why do you have that flag they don't have time to consider that
they just go oh you must
be in the kkk oh you must hate black people oh bang there it is racist you got
that flag so
something something shifted like really radically and deduce a hazard is like a
great metric of it
it's one of the great things in our culture we could use to measure you know
look what happened
you had a hit show that literally sparked a type of clothing the daisy dukes
for gay men
yeah and for girls that are really sad like we see a girl with david daisy dukes
like sweetie you don't
need that you're hot without it oh are you kidding me so hard those daisy dukes
i just went to a
food truck before i got here and there was an asian girl and like my favorite
kind of asian girl she
was uh i believe filipino big lips tan dark tan with daisy dukes open toed sandals
beautiful feet nice
pedicure you freaking out it was it was just me and her so i couldn't stare and
it was so painful
you ever like you're fighting your neck like don't fucking turn keep your head
straight here's
what's interesting and this is the dynamic that's the difference between men
and women if we were
describing this exact same thing but you were a girl and you were describing a
guy it would be
innocent yeah it would be nothing it wouldn't be creepy it'd be like that girl's
so horny oh my god
like if she was like i was in line and behind me was jason momoa you know aquaman
oh my god if you
think he looks good in movies he looks so good in real life sweetie i couldn't
stop i was looking right
at his dick i looked at his dick and i looked his face i looked at his dick and
look and he started
smiling and i started nodding and no one would care no and you say that girl's
liberated she's free
she's crazy that girl's wild she could maybe grab it on the way out oh yeah
give a little tap tap tap
no one's gonna call the cops right but if that's the difference and that's i
think this is something
that as men this is a shaky one because there are definitely some fake male
feminists out there that
are just doing it because they want women to love them and they say a bunch of
shit that really screws
the curve up but if you're being honest and you're being rational you have to
realize
