The Joe Rogan experience.
Yeah, I know you're afraid too.
You know what?
As much as I'm afraid, I'm going to make that walk the day of it,
and I'm going to do it regardless.
And it sounds more crazy.
I would be more afraid of a guy that says, like, I'm afraid,
but you know what?
I'm going to still do it, and I don't care.
If I'm afraid, bring it, I'll do it.
Like, this sounds crazy to me more than a guy said,
oh, no, no, no, I'm not afraid, because this guy is afraid to say that he's
afraid.
Right.
Like, man, you know what I mean?
To me, like, personally, that's what it is.
Yeah, the posturing and posing, it's unnecessary.
Exactly.
But you are afraid of aliens, though, right?
Yeah, I'm afraid of a lot of things.
Does it show you have, like, a path mapped out in your house,
how to get out if the aliens show up?
No.
No?
That's the rumor, man.
That's what I heard.
I heard you have a plan, because I know you like to use game plans,
so I figured you had an alien.
Well, I know karate and I know jiu-jitsu.
So the aliens show up, I put a triangle choke on him.
And I also have a katana, a Japanese katana,
so if they come, I can slice them apart.
Wow.
Do you keep a sword in your house?
That's pretty gangster, dude.
It's a collection, you know, it's for me.
I have to...
You better not bring any crazy bitches home.
Oh, man, it's...
A sword and crazy bitches.
I have this hacksaw on the side of my bed that I always forget is there,
and I always, like, almost cut my finger off all the time.
Yeah, you should put that in the garage, son.
What the fuck is wrong with you?
It's like this big sword slash meat cleaver that it's just awesome.
So do you really have a fear of aliens, or is this just a bullshit rumor?
Because didn't you do a countdown show,
and you did a whole thing talking about how you're being scared of being abducted
by aliens?
Yeah, I'm scared.
I'm scared of a lot of things, you know?
But that's a specific one.
I'll get into it.
I can't talk about it right now.
You can't talk about it right now?
Yeah.
One day I was going to come out and make a big thing about it, but no.
All right, wait a minute.
Hold on, hold on.
Are they in the room right now?
Yeah.
Have you had an experience with aliens?
No?
No, no, no, no, no.
I don't believe you.
I don't believe you.
I don't know.
I don't know.
You don't know.
You might have had an experience with aliens.
My manager is going to have a heart attack right now.
Listen, my brother, I would never do or lead you down any path that's bad for
your career.
Just as you said that it's good to be afraid, it's also good to be honest about
everything,
even shit that sounds crazy.
No, no, no.
That's the thing.
I'm honest.
Like, look, I'm honest.
I'm afraid, but I don't have to tell everything on the public.
It's true.
You don't.
But, you know.
Did you have sex with an alien?
Because you're a smart guy.
Let me tell you, you're a very smart guy.
You know how to dig into people's mind.
And as much as I like you, I hate that about you because he put me on the spot
right now.
But he's a very smart guy.
But no, no, I can't go too deep.
Listen, if I was on an alien spacecraft and I had sex with an alien, like I'm
assuming you did,
I feel like I would just come out and talk about it.
I don't know why you would hold that back.
No, but I mean, I never have.
Something happened, George.
I don't know.
It's either I'm crazy or maybe it really happened.
But I hope that I'm crazy.
I don't think you're crazy.
I hope I am.
I could be crazy.
You know, some people, some great mind, you know, they have been hallucinating
stuff.
Some people are, how do you say, maniacal depressive.
Some people are OCD.
Some people are this.
Some people are that.
And they're still, they've been able to achieve great stuff in their life.
You know, so maybe I'm crazy.
Who knows?
I don't know.
I hope I'm crazy.
Well, are these experiences, I can help you in one way.
Are these experiences happening at night?
I am not sure.
I am not sure.
Have any of these experiences happened while you've been in a dream state or
where you've just been dreaming or just asleep and you were woken up?
I am not sure that I had, I don't know.
I don't remember anything.
But it was, there was nighttime type things.
Was it nighttime when you think you might have had something happen to you?
I can't say something happened to me.
I have no proof.
I just don't know.
What I'm going to tell you about is your brain produces a chemical while you're
sleeping.
But I'm going to tell you something and I'm going to be honest about it.
Sometime I'm looking at the clock.
And it's like I wake up and I look at the clock right after.
And it's like the clock advanced like a four hour or two hours.
There's a time zone that I don't remember what happened.
It's called falling asleep.
I hope so.
What do you think?
Do you think you're getting snatched up and taken away for a couple hours?
No.
I think maybe I fall asleep.
That's what I hope.
That's what I hope.
Or I can drive.
I can drive my car.
I can drive my car.
And it already happened.
I drove my car.
What?
You were sleeping?
No, no, no.
I drove my car on a normal day.
Like going somewhere.
Then I look and it's two hour pass.
I'm like two hour I just passed like this.
Like maybe I didn't see.
Maybe I didn't.
Maybe I watched the wrong time.
Like I watched my clock and I made a mistake myself.
Right.
Most likely, right?
Yes, of course.
Most likely.
I hope so.
Well, that's very minor stuff.
That's very minor stuff.
Yeah.
But that could be you being tired because you push yourself and a lot of stress.
It's exactly what I hope so.
It's exactly what I hope so.
But you don't have any memories of great dudes putting fingers up your butt.
No, I don't.
None of that.
I've had a job where you're driving down the street like on the highway and you're
just like kind of dazed out.
You're like, wait, how long have I been dazed out for like 20 minutes?
What have I been doing for 20 minutes?
You could totally go to autopilot.
Yeah.
And then like you just realize like almost all of a sudden you're home.
Yeah.
But the thing about being exhausted and sleep, you know, and having these
experiences at night, there's a chemical your brain makes.
That's one of the most powerful psychedelic drugs known to man.
So one of the things they're trying to connect, it's called DMT.
And one of the things they're trying to connect is people having near-death
experiences and people that have had UFO, alien abduction type experiences.
And this chemical and that they can introduce this chemical into the human body.
And these people have very similar experiences to what they had when they had a
UFO encounter or when they had, you know, a white light near-death experience
encounter.
It's most likely there's this chemical that's doing this.
So when people are having these experiences and they're very realistic and they
do believe they're being taken aboard by, you know, a UFO somewhere, they might
not be wrong.
But this is not a UFO encounter.
This is just...
UFO, it's unidentified flying object.
Right.
Object.
This, the encounter you talk about that if they've been taken aboard, this is
different.
It's like it could be a third type encounter.
There's many ways, but this is different.
Yeah.
But I, the, you talk about me, I don't have any, I don't have any memory of
such thing.
But the thing I don't, like I have, like you say, sometimes I fall asleep, then
I wake up, it's the time pass.
And I'm like, well, you know, it's like I was...
But that's just because you're tired, man.
That's not aliens.
Yeah, no, no.
But are you worried?
You're like, man, maybe it's aliens.
Is that what you do?
No, it's because I am, I feel like I didn't fall asleep and I'm not tired.
I'm wide awake awake.
But I fall asleep like this and it's kind of, I mean, it's kind of weird.
Are these on hard sparring days?
No.
No?
Just a normal day?
Like it could happen every day.
Wow.
You should get a GoPro, like a camera, and just record yourself all the time.
Yeah, put a helmet on.
And then when you ever think that happens, watch it.
I mean, those things record for like eight hours at a time, some of them.
Yeah.
How long has this been going on?
Since I'm a kid.
Wow.
Wow.
Wouldn't it be crazy if the aliens, like, manufactured you to be a mixed
martial arts fighter?
They're like, let's see if we could just turn this dude into a bad motherfucker.
I'm sure if it would have happened, I would have been much better than this.
Much better than this?
You're the fucking champion.
What are you talking about?
Yeah, but if I would be alien manufacturer, I would be Superman, you know?
Well, they just don't want to get ridiculous with it.
It has to be realistic.
Yeah, that would be obvious.
Like, you can't turn a guy into a goddamn superhero.
Maybe they manufacture Anderson Silva, John Jones, maybe they did Rosaldo.
Maybe someone needs to talk to them about their sleep patterns.
Maybe they're falling asleep behind the wheel, too, and being sucked aboard a
spaceship for repairs.
Maybe they don't want to talk about it.
Maybe they don't say it, but maybe they are.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I'm just pretending.
I think it's funny, though, that that's maybe one subject that you had a really
hard time talking about that.
I do.
Because it sounds crazy.
Yes.
And I will talk about it one day.
I'm going to talk about my fear, all that stuff.
But now I don't get deep into this.
Yeah, maybe they just...
But I promise one day I'll talk about stuff.
But it's not what people take.
You promise one day?
Yeah, I promise one day.
What's that?
What is...
There is no tomorrow.
Didn't you see Rocky III?
When Apollo Creed says that to Rocky Balboa?
There is no tomorrow.
Maybe I'll die one day.
Maybe I'll die tomorrow.
I hope I touch wood not.
And people say, oh.
And I'm like, oh.
How did you say that?
Was that French?
I touch wood not?
Is that what you said?
I touch the wood.
You don't want it happen, you know?
Yeah, just let it go.
Just whatever information you got, spill it.
No, but I don't know.
I'm doing my own research.
I'm researching on myself.
Like you say, that's the thing that you just told me.
It's very interesting.
The chemical that Buddy products.
I'm happy that I meet you today.
And you tell that about me because I make me happy, you know?
Yeah, it'll make you think like...
I think a lot of people think they're going crazy.
And it's not.
It's just your brain makes psychedelic drugs.
It's true.
Your brain produces and parts your liver and your lungs.
They don't know why this stuff is in the body.
But it's super potent psychedelic.
Your brain makes it.
And it happens when you're sleeping.
So if like the speculation is that it happens during REM sleep.
I don't think they have the most accurate way of measuring it.
But they know it's in the body.
And they believe it's the theory is that it comes out during periods of heavy
stress or when your body thinks it's going to die or in REM sleep.
And those are the times that you have higher levels of this stuff in your neurochemical
soup.
That's interesting.
It's crazy.
Why would your brain produce an incredibly potent psychedelic drug?
So a lot of people that are having these nighttime experiences could be just
varying levels of this chemical that's going around in your brain.
But that doesn't mean that these experiences aren't real.
We don't know what the fuck sleeping is anyway.
I mean, what is sleeping?
You shut your eyes.
You shut off.
You don't exist in this plane.
And your consciousness goes somewhere else.
Like, literally, you have no memory of a giant chunk of your day.
And we have no problem with it.
And yet, we don't connect it to any other realm or the idea of there being
other dimensions.
You go into another dimension when you go to sleep.
Okay?
You do.
You just shut off.
You stop.
And for all intents and purposes, you are in another dimension.
And if while you're in that other dimension, your brain is being pumped with
this psychedelic chemical that, when you take it, when you're sober, makes you
have these incredible experiences, it only seems to – it just seems like a
normal thing to look into.
Like, people should be looking into that.
Like, what is happening when you're sleeping?
You're sleeping.
You go away.
And everybody's just so used to it.
They're like, no big deal.
We just go away.
Just go away for eight hours a day.
You know, everybody's scared to die.
And no one's scared to fall asleep.
You're just – you're shutting off, man.
You know you're going to be back, so you're not worried.
But you're shutting off.
Whatever that is, you know, is just accepted.
If sleeping didn't exist, it would be the craziest fucking thing.
If all of a sudden you told people that they had to shut off for eight hours a
night and just completely not be – they'd be like, what are you talking about?
I got to shut off?
They're like, yeah, you're going to shut off for eight hours a night.
And you're not going to know what's happening.
People can touch your balls while you're sleeping.
You'll have no way of stopping them.
There's a lot of things that can happen.
The truth is, like you said, we don't know.
We don't know.
We don't know what the fuck that is.
I could – like you said, it's not that I'm afraid to be crazy.
It's just I can say whatever the hell I want.
And we don't know, maybe.
You know what I mean?
We don't know.
We don't know the truth.
We have no idea.
Yeah.
Somebody might be stealing time from you.
They might be stealing time.
You're like, this motherfucker's got too much time.
The truth is I feel like I had experience, but I don't know what it is.
So for me to say it's alien or say it's the drug chemical you talk about, I don't
know.
I can't tell you right now.
I don't know what it is.
But I did – I felt – like it could have been an experience or not.
Maybe I felt maybe I'm crazy and it's the normal thing that everybody goes like
maybe I – but right now I – like I don't know.
It's too – I'm making my own research to find out about that.
How are you researching?
I research a lot of stuff, documentaries and things and go on the internet.
Now it's another thing that you just said to me.
I'm going to research that.
Maybe I research on the wrong – maybe I research things that people have
tried because that lapse of time that you don't remember.
Some people have been hypnotized and they had a bad adventure and I don't want
to be hypnotized.
Well, that's very controversial.
What's happening during hypnosis, hypnotic regression, it's very controversial
because there's a lot of people that believe that you can introduce fake
memories into a person while they're unconscious and then you could steer the
events in one way or another and introduce false memories.
It's not – it's not very – it's not very reliable I don't think.
So that's one of the big things about these people that have these crazy
stories from hypnotic regression like what the fuck is really going on?
You know, you don't know.
A lot of times people that are in therapy in the first place are a little wound
up.
Of course, of course.
So it's that – those are the type of people that you're dealing with.
You're hypnotizing them and then you're finding out about these nutty
experiences with aliens.
Who knows what the fuck you're really getting.
But I'm going to tell you it's like Socrates used to say.
You take a fish in the water, okay, and the fish he leaves in his environment.
Let's say a fisherman, he grabs a fish in the water.
He pulls it off the water, look at him, make the fish look around and drop the
fish back in the water.
The fish after he's going to go back to his friend and he's going to tell the
other fish, man, I built poop out of the water and it was – people were
breathing air.
It was another environment.
I saw a human being poop, you know, like a man grabbing me.
I saw trees.
I saw a bird in the sky.
I saw like a sun.
I'm like I see a different thing in different universe.
And then he put me back.
The other fish will think he's completely insane, you know, and it's normal.
So maybe in a way we're all like fish and maybe there is something like you
said, like when you see another universe or another well or something and we
don't know.
And we're right next to it but we don't know.
And if – that's why I'm doing research.
I want to see, you know, I want to grow as a human being, find what's the truth
even though I probably will never find out the truth.
But I want to get closer, closer and find my own research, see what's happening,
you know.
And we're all in the same pattern, you know.
We're all in the same pattern, you know.
We're all in the same pattern, you know.
We're all in the same pattern, you know.
We're all in the same pattern, you know.
We're all in the same pattern, you know.
We're all in the same pattern, you know.
We're all in the same pattern, you know.
We're all in the same pattern, you know.
We're all in the same pattern, you know.
We're all in the same pattern, you know.
We're all in the same pattern, you know.
We're all in the same pattern, you know.
Are you ready to record?
It's recording.
Oh, it is already?
Yeah.
What the fuck, son?

You should get a GoPro, like a camera, and just record yourself all the time.
Yeah, put a helmet on.
And then when you ever think that happens, watch it.
I mean, those things record for like eight hours at a time, some of them.
Yeah.
How long has this been going on?
Since I'm a kid.
Wow.
Wow.
Wouldn't it be crazy if the aliens, like, manufactured you to be a mixed
martial arts fighter?
They're like, let's see if we could just turn this dude into a bad motherfucker.
I'm sure if it would have happened, I would have been much better than this.
Much better than this?
You're the fucking champion.
What are you talking about?
Yeah, but if I would be alien manufacturer, I would be Superman, you know?
Well, they just don't want to get ridiculous with it.
It has to be realistic.
Yeah, that would be obvious.
Like, you can't turn a guy into a goddamn superhero.
Maybe they manufacture Anderson Silva, John Jones, maybe they did Rosaldo.
Maybe someone needs to talk to them about their sleep patterns.
Maybe they're falling asleep behind the wheel, too, and being sucked aboard a
spaceship for repairs.
Maybe they don't want to talk about it.
Maybe they don't say it, but maybe they are.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I'm just pretending.
I think it's funny, though, that that's maybe one subject that you had a really
hard time talking about that.
I do.
Because it sounds crazy.
Yes.
And I will talk about it one day.
I'm going to talk about my fear, all that stuff.
But now I don't get deep into this.
Yeah, maybe they just...
But I promise one day I'll talk about stuff.
But it's not what people take.
You promise one day?
Yeah, I promise one day.
What's that?
What is...
There is no tomorrow.
Didn't you see Rocky III?
When Apollo Creed says that to Rocky Balboa?
There is no tomorrow.
Maybe I'll die one day.
Maybe I'll die tomorrow.
I hope I touch wood not.
And people say, oh.
And I'm like, oh.
How did you say that?
Was that French?
I touch wood not?
Is that what you said?
I touch the wood.
You don't want it happen, you know?
Yeah, just let it go.
Just whatever information you got, spill it.
No, but I don't know.
I'm doing my own research.
I'm researching on myself.
Like you say, that's the thing that you just told me.
It's very interesting.
The chemical that Buddy products.
I'm happy that I meet you today.
And you tell that about me because I make me happy, you know?
Yeah, it'll make you think like...
I think a lot of people think they're going crazy.
And it's not.
It's just your brain makes psychedelic drugs.
It's true.
Your brain produces and parts your liver and your lungs.
They don't know why this stuff is in the body.
But it's super potent psychedelic.
Your brain makes it.
And it happens when you're sleeping.
So if like the speculation is that it happens during REM sleep.
I don't think they have the most accurate way of measuring it.
But they know it's in the body.
And they believe it's the theory is that it comes out during periods of heavy
stress or when your body thinks it's going to die or in REM sleep.
And those are the times that you have higher levels of this stuff in your neurochemical
soup.
That's interesting.
It's crazy.
Why would your brain produce an incredibly potent psychedelic drug?
So a lot of people that are having these nighttime experiences could be just
varying levels of this chemical that's going around in your brain.
But that doesn't mean that these experiences aren't real.
We don't know what the fuck sleeping is anyway.
I mean, what is sleeping?
You shut your eyes.
You shut off.
You don't exist in this plane.
And your consciousness goes somewhere else.
Like, literally, you have no memory of a giant chunk of your day.
And we have no problem with it.
And yet, we don't connect it to any other realm or the idea of there being
other dimensions.
You go into another dimension when you go to sleep.
Okay?
You do.
You just shut off.
You stop.
And for all intents and purposes, you are in another dimension.
And if while you're in that other dimension, your brain is being pumped with
this psychede
