on your end so we have a lot to get to but it's been kind of a crazy you know
what couple years
well a crazy couple years certainly a crazy couple months you can say that
again which i'm sure we'll
get into um yeah yeah well i everything you guys have been doing has been
outrageous and awesome
and inspiring to me and you guys are just killing it so thank you thank you man
it's great great
that you're here and we have so much to get into but i just wanted to start
with that and welcome
you and uh i should say we've got uh rajat suresh here i'm saying that correct
i don't want to be
disrespectful oh no man oh the cancel mobs gonna come down your throat man dude
they will they will
no that's for real that's for real though yeah yeah like if i don't get that
right on the money first
time around that that's it like oh my gosh yeah that i would get the that i
will have to get yeah
man for that it's gotten crazy out there it's crazy it's gotten really crazy
out there well we'll get
to that but uh and jeremy levick now there's no problem with that jeremy levick
here of course right
um let's start like where i guess it makes sense to start like how do i'm sure
i was trying to
think about like how i uh first came across you guys like it's i mean i know we
go way back like
uh would it would have been at the store like what or would it have been like
on the road like
doing sets like where huh well wow it could have been the store it might have
been the store yeah
yeah i feel like i saw you in the green room back there one time like before uh
that could be that
could be might have been before uh brewer went on yeah i think because we knew
you as um you know
ken collins friend and i knew well yeah you ran with him and when you run with
him you know you're
really running yeah i have not heard that name in a long time ken collins holy
shit man this
was easily like the funniest guy not only on stage but in the green room
backstage just hanging out
guys like chilling uh way too many brews way too many uh you know a little bit
of everything and if
you wanted something ken was your guy yeah yeah right and he's a tough dude
good or bad he's a tough
dude dude was huge oh like you remember the the hair on him like just like his
body hair oh my god
he looks like a bear like a he was he did no i'm like people say i'm telling
tall tales dude look like a
fucking bear yeah yeah like for real but one of the nicest guys nicest guy such
oh i mean like a gentle
giant you know it's like he's i mean funny and funny yeah yeah funny tightest
set i've ever seen man
yeah well that's the thing if you caught him wednesday midnight any you know
down like either at the
factory or the store or even the improv that set compared to that he'd do in pittsburgh
on a
wednesday at 7 p.m for you know uh like a corporate gig or some like that night
and day
oh my god night and night and day i i have this really crazy story where i was
opening for him
right um no we yeah all up and down uh the east coast and i think this was uh
must have been boston
and i look out at the crowd right it's uh you know big crowd right 80 90 um
maybe 100 110 full room essentially a full room and uh ken looks out with me we
look behind the curtains
he goes uh he looks at me he says i'm calling my shot i'm gonna crush tonight
and it was babe ruth
calling a shot right and you know what happened
he crushed yes he annihilated and i just that's what he did though yeah yeah
talk about a safe call
but today's show is brought to you by quad core lifestyle health system uh quad
core is awesome a
full body and mind wellness system that includes diet fitness mental health and
freedom i use quad
quad core every single day i just open the app and see my four quadrants i see
what my goals are
and i get my checklist of what i need to do to achieve my goals quad core just
works it centers
my life so i can focus on getting fit healthy emotionally stable and reminds me
of how important
the values of our founding fathers are they are the keystone to making my life
stay on track
quad core get quad core use code fudruckers to get 10 percent off your first
month all right so how do you
guys make sense of the current state of how the perception of uh what you do
versus what let's say
you used to do like where do you how do you even process something like that
well first of all first
answer your question how do we make sense of it we don't um it's crazy no but
it is it's really crazy
i mean it's surreal um the difference between what it is today versus you know
rewind 10 20 years
unrecognizable right yeah i mean completely different ball game i mean go back
like go back like 30 40
years ago man yeah just go back yeah isn't it crazy though like isn't it crazy
how you can look and see
how the see how things change like the difference like where we were versus
where we are is completely
fucking upside down totally i was just but that has that always been that way
right always been right
right right that's the question right because on the one hand you look at today
and you compare it to
10 20 years ago whatever it is it's you know completely different unrecognizable
but then you
know go 10 20 years ago what are you saying then what was it like 10 20 years
before that yeah and
you're going you know and maybe these things are cyclical and i know there's a
lot of theories
in some of the eastern philosophies about that and it makes one wonder you know
that some of this stuff
maybe they're onto something have you read the um the book from henry deaver
the life molecule do you
know are you familiar with his stuff we know deeper yeah yeah that thing's the
bible to us man
yeah yeah like that when i read that it was like whoa yeah like yeah wow okay
so some of this so just
so people understand some of this that we're seeing is actually on a like a on
a cellular
struck on a cellular level like inborn yes right totally yeah i mean totally deaver
talks about this i mean
when you look at the cellular structures within us and within our brains that
has fundamentally shifted
entirely within the last 30 40 years even yeah yeah well even longer right
something even longer than
that yeah longer than that yeah oh my god deaver i mean i pray at the i worship
at the church of deaver
um yeah and he and he's been so influential also you know to some of the more
mainstream guys right
um with dr baxton and some of graham hancock's theories of course yeah are you
you see about that
through all of these guys yeah well talk about uh some of those the hancock
stuff because i'm just
scratching the surface on that but i know you guys have kind of gone deep on
that right well there's a lot
there right i mean and it can be appreciated on on so many different levels i
mean i keep uh you know
i keep hancock's uh book um neural pathways and the structures that guide us i
keep that on my bedside
table and when i can't sleep at night you know and my you know my girlfriend
gets annoyed because
what's the light like yeah she wakes up in the middle of the night honey what
you know and i'm reading
she goes oh he's reading handcuff again um but that brings us to deaver's
second book i mean masculinity
and decline yeah that's a completely different thing i mean when we're talking
about girlfriends and
whatnot i mean we talk about because now there's a right there's a whole new uh
sort of uh rule book
now right like yeah you could say that it's really a choice whether you play by
the rules or you don't
all right yeah i mean they threw the old rule book that's in the trash man that's
they put throw that
in the trash and isn't that up isn't that up it's crazy man it's up that there
was a rule book and that
there was a sort of a social contract i guess you could say you could say that
yeah now has been
discarded suddenly like really kind of out of nowhere like i don't know man we're
i think we're
fucking like lit like through the looking glass wow oh a little bit a little
bit like no i it's hard
to look at it we're not in kansas anymore right we're not in kansas city yeah
man it's surreal with
some of this surreal out there with some of it yeah it is surreal out there you
know and this is
and it makes you wonder like is this the new normal wow yeah you think it's a
new normal i honestly am at
this point now where i am just throwing my hands up and saying maybe it is wow
you know do we is there a
course correction like is there a good question that's a good question is there
a backlash or of course you
know is there like where is that uh where what's where's that at especially
like um in terms of uh
accountability and uh you know the the new research now that shows what what's
actually happening in the
brain i mean i was reading tintin on this i was reading john tintin wrote about
this about course
correction after the rule book gets thrown out he was writing about the
specific thing and what he
says yeah it's pretty crazy what he says is if we want to write the ship if we
want to if we want
to set it on the right path the entire fabric of humanity and what bonds us
with each other needs to
change fundamentally that's what he says social structure uh the the binding
elements of social
structure and how they're how where the what the roots of them are and where
they where the foundation
of them of those what the foundation of the reasons for those were right right
yeah right well and it's
not i mean these are not new ideas right they're old ideas they you look at any
civilization throughout
history right you know and a lot of people you know there's this panic oh what's
gonna happen and
and if you look through all of the civilizations throughout history whether it
be mesopotamia
or even stonehenge every society has its own version of rewriting the script
right think about the
caveman that gets you know cast out for uh looking different or you know i mean
then they're
you know that's just an example but there are tons of examples wow well yeah
because it's if you if you
chart back or if you start maybe maybe it's easier to go from front to back or
back to front but you go
uh you know hunter gatherers uh cavemen ancient aztecs uh egyptians ancient uh
babylonians you know
you keep going through that list eventually you get to like holy we're in the
like uh industrial age yeah you know yeah suddenly like right and i'm glad you
mentioned the industrial
age too because you know where did people start working then factories
factories where else cities
like in communities right building communities building communities exactly and
then what it comes after
the industrial age post-industrial age computers right so that's how do we it
says it all that's so
fascinating no that's that's amazing um let's talk about um the uh the the
stuff the research you guys
have been doing and this some of the stuff you guys are breaking new ground on
um the stuff with um
with the stuff with uh the extraterrestrial stuff you guys have been blowing
minds across campus yeah across
you know the the scientific papers that you people are saying you can't publish
now i mean we've become
pariahs ourselves yeah i mean kind of not not so dissimilar from yourself i
mean i mean people come
after us all the time yeah and you know what maybe that's a sign that you're
that you're actually
breaking new ground yeah because if you were just repeating back to people what
they want to hear then
that's a sign that you are basically running in place but if people are telling
you shut the
up guess what you're on that must be doing something right you're on to
something there
yeah we don't like to play it safe 100 yeah and there is you know and we're not
just taki
