I got to go on Joe Rogan this week.
We went on Joe Rogan.
And Joe Rogan's, you know, it's, I was nervous, first of all.
You know, I was nervous because I look up to Joe so much.
You know, and for some reason with me, I think when I look up to somebody,
for some reason it makes me kind of nervous.
You know, I guess, well, you want to, I don't know.
It's like when you're hanging out, you know what it feels like to me a little
bit.
It's like you're hanging out with your big brother and his friends.
And you're like, you want to, you know, you're just, I don't know.
I was just nervous.
But it was wild, man.
And right off the bat, Joe starts talking to me.
And I love Joe.
You know, I'm extremely grateful to him.
You know, he's done a lot of nice things, small things that were really nice
for me,
like out of, like he would just see me do comedy.
And I've said this before, but he would just drop me a text a couple days later,
the next day, and just say, hey, man, you had a really good set.
You know, and that kind of stuff, like you don't realize sometimes,
like somebody that you admire, like, you know, telling you something,
sharing something positive, supporting what you do,
you don't realize how much that means to that person.
And he doesn't, you know, I don't think he, you know,
he doesn't probably realize it.
But it's like I would get those texts, and I'm like, wow, man.
You know, it's like your big brother.
It's like, I don't know.
It's just like you're all, it's like impressing your brother,
impressing, I don't know.
You know, and that kind of stuff really just has resonated with me over the
years.
He's done that.
And Joey Diaz does that as well.
He'll call you.
But Joe would do that sometimes and just hit me up and say, hey, man,
you were really funny last night.
And, you know, coming from, you know, my life,
when all I wanted to do probably was, you know,
make people I admired, you know,
make them feel like I was part of, like I was okay.
You know, and maybe some of that goes back to like father and brother,
you know, not being present growing up and all of that.
But, you know, just when you have a, you know,
when you have a male figure in it, you know, just that support.
Support.
That's really what it is.
Joe's been so supportive.
And so, you know, anyway, but, you know,
I was excited to be in there and I was excited to get to hang out with him
because he thinks like wild.
You know, he's like, he thinks like he's got, you know, it's like,
I think he has more than one brain in his head.
You know, Joe Rogan might have five or six brains in there.
And one of the brains is probably a rat, you know,
and then he's, but he might have other brains orbiting around brains.
You know, he might have one brain that's, you know,
he might have brains in the distance, you know, cooking elk.
I mean, he's got, you know, he just,
he continues to kind of like expand his way of thinking.
And so right in the beginning, he was talking about
infinite and infinite, uh, if there were infinite universes
and if there were more than just one of you.
And I couldn't even, I was so nervous, kind of,
I was just couldn't even think really that good.
And, but then now I'm thinking after that,
I texted him the next day and I was like, man, I'm obsessed now with wondering
if there are infinite universes, so many.
So this is what he was saying is 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 like, 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 feel about myself.
I was thinking like if, 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,
with what self-worth means and what it,
you know, and,
and just like get to another plateau and 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,
a kind of a,
you know,
a four out of 10,
kind of a mid range,
lower,
you know,
lower mid range neck,
medium rare.
Cause 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 were 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.
Cause they,
you know,
they got that extra two inches to look and the gaze,
you know,
they could see fruit easier if they're reach,
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 just kind of stuck on,
you know,
you kind of just hanging out on your own cliff side.
You can't do a lot when you got that limited,
kind of that limited neck.
And I come from a long line of people's 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,
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,
that,
that,
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,
uh,
uh,
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,
you were like,
fuck magenta.
I'm out here on magenta.
And then,
and then,
and then everything changed because then I would see a,
you know,
maybe I would see a somebody's shirt or hat or a,
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,
uh,
kind of not,
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 in the one person.
It's like the past and,
you know,
in 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,
uh,
I don't know.
It may,
and it made me feel,
you know,
I just felt like accepted,
you know,
like he made me feel accepted,
which,
uh,
for me is like a really big thing,
you know,
like,
um,
you know,
like I think a lot of my life,
I don't feel that way.
Um,
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.
Uh,
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,
uh,
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,
is it?
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.
What's up guys?
Sitting here with this marijuana plant.
I think also could be just a regular plant.
Could be poison ivy,
bro.
I'm about to smoke myself in some itchy,
itchy.
Um,
just watch another clip since you're already here.
You know what I'm saying?
