I'm obsessed now with wondering if there are infinite universes, so many so,
this is what he was saying,
if so many infinite universes that if you, there would be a possibility for you
to meet your exact self.
Like, you know, say the two universes get close enough to each other somehow in
orbits or whatever,
and then you, you know, there's, you know, programs, you're both astronauts or
something, you meet.
Like, if you were able to meet your exact self, think about that.
If you were able to meet your exact self, and I was just like, I left there
thinking, would I like myself?
Like, if I had to, if I met me, like, would I like me?
What would I do?
What would I think?
Would I think I was neat?
You know, would I think I was tall?
Would I think that I was handsome?
You know, would I think that I, I mean, would I know, if I were able to look
into my own eyes,
would I be able to, like, see my truths at, like, another, like, another
dimension?
You know, especially since most of my life, you know, especially growing up,
like, I didn't have any, a lot of self-worth,
so I was, most of my self-worth would come from what other people thought of me.
You know, there was no, you know, there was nothing inside of me, so everything
that I knew I had to get from the outside.
And so I was so hyper-aware of what other people were constantly thinking,
because I needed to be,
because I needed that next second, and that next minute, and that next, you
know, just to know,
I was monitoring how I was, and if I was okay, through moment-to-moment
interaction with others.
And what they would give me back, that's how I'd feel about myself.
I was thinking, like, if I based my feelings off of what other people thought
of me, and I saw myself,
would I then, like, looking into my own eyes, would I be able to, you know,
just come full circle with what self-worth means,
and what it, you know, and just, like, get to another plateau in thinking about
that.
But it just fascinated me.
I left out of there thinking, like, what the fuck?
I never thought about running into myself.
Would I think I had bad breath?
You know, would I think I had, like, a long neck or a regular neck or a, you
know, kind of a, you know,
a four out of ten, kind of a mid-range, lower, you know, lower mid-range neck,
medium rare?
Because I've all, you know, I've had, you know, I don't have a super long neck.
And I don't think a lot of people in my family, we're not real look-arounders.
Some people have a long neck.
You know, when you see those people, they're looking for stuff, and they can,
you know, look behind the sofa easier,
and they don't lose their wallet probably as much because they, you know, they
got that extra two inches to look and to gaze.
You know, they can see fruit easier if they're looking for fruits.
But when you have that limited neck, man, you kind of, you know, you're stuck
on your own little bitty.
You know, it's not really a hilltop.
You're just kind of stuck on, you know, you're kind of just hanging out on your
own cliffside.
You can't do a lot when you've got that limited, kind of that limited neck.
And I come from a long line of people with limited necks.
But, yeah, I was just wondering if you saw yourself and you looked in your own
eyes, would you,
I don't know what we, I mean, would your just whole world explode?
Like, would you just know everything?
Would I like myself?
Would I like?
It just blew my mind.
If there were infinite universes, and it just blew my mind, man.
So I left out of there, I think, with a little bit more thinking.
You know, and I think that that's kind of what Joe Rogan does for me,
is he makes me think a little bit more.
And he makes me think sometimes uncomfortable things.
You know, he makes me think outside of, like, the confines of, the comfortable
confines of things that,
you know, these templates that I was raised in, or raised around, or just that
I saw.
You know, it's kind of like when you see, remember when you got that,
you got them colors when you were a child and your mother took you to the color
shop?
And you got that eight box.
You got that box of eight hitters.
You know, just that little fucking, that Roy G. Biff fiasco.
You know, you got that little eight pack.
That eight ball.
You know, you got that eight ball.
And suddenly, some dude shows up with that six to four box.
And your fucking dick blew out of your ears.
Remember that?
Dude, I remember my nuts traveled up my body and looked out of my eye holes.
Because I was just, I was just shook by the fact that some man suddenly had 56
more colors than I had.
Some boy, I mean, not a man.
They didn't have any men in our class, you know, in disguise or anything.
But that some boy, and it blew my mind.
And suddenly, you were doing different pictures and you were thinking different
things.
And you were like, fuck, magenta?
I'm out here on magenta?
And then everything changed.
Because then I would see, you know, maybe I would see somebody's shirt or hat
or, you know,
I would see a woman's hat at church and be like, oh, that's a magenta hat.
And suddenly, you know, you have more elements to put out into your template,
to put out into your world.
And that's kind of, I think, you know, that's kind of what I left out of Joe
Rogan's podcast, Thinking.
I left out of there actually just thinking.
You know, he makes me think.
And I think he makes a lot of, you know, young men and women think.
You know, he's kind of this dope-ass outer space, male, you know, marine, kind
of, he's just everything.
I don't know what he is, man.
It's almost like if you took a whole timeline of existence and just took it
like that and put it all into one person.
It's like the past and, you know, and the future and everything.
And he's probably got moons.
I bet, dude, I bet he has moons going around him.
I bet there's a moon way off in the distance that we don't even know about that's
just that, you know, just that Rogan, that Rogan moon.
But it was an honor, man.
It's an honor to go in there.
You know, it's just an honor.
You know, like, I don't know.
It made, and it made me feel, you know, I just felt like accepted.
You know, like he made me feel accepted, which for me is like a really big
thing, you know, like, you know, like I think a lot of my life,
I don't feel that way.
And so to go in and, and I don't, I don't even think these are things that he's,
you know, outwardly doing like on purpose.
I think some of it's just his nature.
You know, I think in some ways he's like a little bit of like that big brother
that like, you know, you know, I had my brother, but my brother, you know, didn't
live with us.
And like, you know, and he, you know, and he's had some, you know, he's had
some tough times, even though I, you know, I really love my brother.
And I'm, you know, I don't think I've ever been prouder of anybody in my whole
life than him.
But anyway, damn, boy, this shit got me gleeking out my eyeballs, dude.
You know what I'm saying?
I'm fucking making salt water, dude.
I'm a damn, I'm like a sixth grade science experiment.
But, yeah, I don't know.
He just made me feel accepted and just, you know, I don't know.
But I'm just grateful, man.
You know, I'm just grateful to be in an environment where I feel inspired.
You know, I get to go on some of these other podcasts,
Fighter and the Kid, and those guys make me laugh, man.
