Joe Rogan Experience #2487 - Action Bronson

PowerfulJREApril 22, 20262h 34m
In a Nutshell

Joe Rogan and Action Bronson explore ancient mysteries like woolly mammoth artifacts, Teotihuacan origins, Noah's Ark scans on Mount Ararat, DMT-laced acacia wood theories, and potential alien-built jungle pyramids, alongside modern topics including Neanderthal strength, AI art backlash, NYC rat plagues, and exotic animal consumption. They geek out on UFC fights (Ulberg vs. Prochazka resilience, Chimaev vs. Strickland preview, heavyweight GOATs like Fedor and Cain), Action's training with kettlebells/mace, comedy legends, overlanding in Toyotas, and conspiracies like missing UFO scientists tied to Roswell. Key takeaways: ancient knowledge exceeds expectations with possible lost tech; fighters thrive on ruthless adaptability; society balances progress with tipping-point chaos from AI, wars, and excess.

AI-Generated Notes

These notes were generated by AI and may contain inaccuracies.

Joe shows Action Bronson a woolly mammoth tooth about 10,000 years old with a woolly mammoth carved into it. Action Bronson admires it but says he would never carve into one. Joe notes it looks like an alligator gar jaw from the side. Woolly mammoth teeth are common finds, so not considered precious; people make knives with woolly mammoth handles, pistol grips for 1911 guns, folding knives. Jamie has a folding knife made from it. Could make piano keys, pool cues from it since it's ivory-like.

Action Bronson had his own pool cue, unscrewed it at pool halls. Owning a pool cue means you're serious, like in The Hustler with a leather satchel for male accessories. Men don't have many accessories: knife, gun, watch. Watch is most acceptable male jewelry. Action Bronson doesn't like nose rings, feels silly in jewelry as a blue-collar guy. Had a chain with miniature Tasmanian devil.

Taz (Tasmanian devil) with boxing gloves was popular high school tattoo; friend's first tattoo. Barb wire tattoos extreme, around ankle unacceptable. Pamela Anderson had barb wire on arm. Ankle jewelry doesn't work on men, too bulky.

On vacation at Club Med, braids and ankle twists okay. People change: shorts shorter, shirts tighter. No agenda or schedule, just eating. In Athens, seek ancient sites and good food. Ate rare scampi in front of Pantheon.

Joe visited Teotihuacan (Sun Temple) outside Mexico City, 7,400 feet above sea level. Advantage for cardio training; fighters train there. Population low to mid 20 million. Recent shooting: one dead, seven shot; shooter elevated at Sun Temple, hopping on one leg, shot Achilles tendon. Aztecs didn't build it, found it, called it place where gods were born. Giant stone heads look Polynesian or African, unknown makers/language. Native language Nahuatl (not Totoaka); mythical healers.

Buildings have cities underneath, layered like tiling over old floors. In Italy (Rialto?), church from 1800s built over 1,000-year-old church with glass floor to ruins. In Mexico City, pilgrims crawl hundreds of miles to church for Jesus. During sermon, chills from acoustics.

Charlie Kirk video: underground Jerusalem site where Jesus preached, city built on top. Common to build new sites over old. Paying homage, keeping good bones like rebuilding a house. Ancients left chachkies (ornaments) with intention; everything meant something: figurines of voluptuous fertile women, witch doctors, barbers representing status/species.

Wonder what ancients knew of Europe, Asia, Africa. Evidence of seafaring 60,000 years ago, archaic humans crossing seas 450,000 years ago. Polar bears/seals float on ice as natural boats. Oldest boat use implies intentional crossings pre-Homo sapiens.

Recent scans on Mount Ararat, Turkey suggest Noah's Ark. Oldest human skull 1 million years old, possibly coexisted with us. Hypothesis: Homo sapiens bred with older human species, creating Neanderthals (not vice versa). Neanderthals had bigger brains, denser bones, stronger (rip arms like chimps), 5'7"-5'8" build. Other finds: Denisovans, big-headed people in China.

Few bones fossilize, incomplete history. French catacombs used bones decoratively.

Visible ad: Unlimited data/hotspot on Verizon, $25/month one line (taxes/fees included), new members $20/month year with code fresh start.

Rock formation on Mount Ararat at 6,500 feet above sea level looks like boat, scanned showing internal structure like hallways. If Great Flood, water receded or tectonic lift; petrified wood takes thousands to millions years. Universe fucks with us via simulation-like anomalies.

They discuss skepticism about Noah's Ark, imagining it as a mega yacht with holes and staffs. Action Bronson believes the flood story is real because it appears in many cultures. Water is unexplainable with no enemy, and tsunamis would feel like the end of the world locally without global contact, making it seem like a great flood where the whole world is gone.

The Bible specifies acacia wood for the ark. Acacia honey is unbelievably delicious. Acacia is rich in DMT. Researchers from Jerusalem theorize Moses's burning bush was acacia being burned, causing a DMT experience where he saw God and received messages for early savage humans with stone tools. Humanity has come a long way, though still figuring it out amid three ongoing wars, but day-to-day interactions are better. Society is at a tipping point to either come together or destroy each other. Fear of chaos leading to AI controlling everything, dissolving creativity and freedom, turning people into biological time cards.

Action Bronson AI-generated a picture of a frog holding frog popsicles because the real frog wouldn't cooperate. Fans blasted him on Instagram for using AI, accusing him of taking jobs from artists. He clarifies he does all his own artwork, so no job was lost. It's just a tool like Photoshop, good fun. Understands concerns but notes artists take time unless they match his vision exactly. People complain because AI threatens jobs; that wave is unstoppable, 2,000 ft high at 100 mph. AI is alive and will do everything.

Neanderthals and Physical Training

Neanderthals may not have been dumb; they likely had language, tools, sophisticated society, buried their young, with bigger brains than modern humans despite big eyeballs. Looks are deceiving.

Action Bronson swings a 88-pound mace impressively. New kettlebell exercise: tracing an 8 in the air, bending core around the head—serious for weak spots in awkward movements. Loves kettlebells, clubs, mace, sandbag work. Lost 20 lbs from 300 to 265, now jacked like a bull despite working with food. Cut out a lot of pasta, no longer craves carbs like pizza—eaten enough for 45 children's lifetimes. Now fuels with toasted whole wheat bread and jam. Trains with jacked IFBB pro bodybuilders doing mace work, kettlebells (3 days), deadlifts, zero squats (favorite for grappling, jiu-jitsu, MMA, wrestling takedowns, testosterone boost). Healed shoulders with Onnit club help from John Wolf—great for overhead swings mimicking jiu-jitsu positions unlike bench press.

Yoga and Pilates good for jiu-jitsu; Pilates surprisingly hard—did ankle weights, scissors next to wife, tightened core painfully, sore afterward needing a donut cushion. Reminisces about grandma's pink toilet seat cushions and smells of old ass, father's shitty cigarette smell from Rothmans Blues (English cigarette), ring from smoking in house.

Doctors recommended cigarettes; bought them in hospitals, even in bed via cart. 1950s ads show nurses lighting patients' cigarettes. Questions why America is so medicated. Some meds work: Prozac has legitimate effects, Adderall helps successful people/journalists if used occasionally, not addictively like benzodiazepines. Michael Jackson died from propofol sedation, mentally ill from extreme fame—everyone knows him, music still plays despite allegations unlike R. Kelly.

Separating artist from art is impossible; it's a package. Many past celebrities likely did similar disgraceful things. Sudden money leads to weirdo behavior like island trips, unlike gardening, stonemasonry, working out, cooking. Money from passion differs from chasing money, leading to endless possessions (islands, jets, Ferraris) and forbidden acts like eating endangered species. Story of annual China gathering (not restaurant) serving tiger, gorilla, etc.—billionaire excess. 2014 crackdown on exotic meats like pangolin, endangered tortoises, snakes, porcupines.

Action Bronson had good smoked black snake soup in Japan Michelin-star French-Japanese restaurant, tasted like beef, versatile.

Turtles more psychotic than piranhas; fed them goldfish they bit in half with powerful jaws, dinosaur-like. Videos of turtles eating goldfish: alligator snapping turtle uses tongue lure like a worm; mata mata turtle with triangle head, weird nose swallows whole; timid ones vs. aggressive. Flat heads for slipping into shell better, like hammerheads, stingrays, flounder (eyes on one side).

UK voted to ban smoking for anyone born after 2008 (draft law). Government expands with rules to control people. Dinner with NYC mayor Zohran Mamdani (34, knows rap, rapped with apron as Mr. Cardom)—nice guy, but concern who's financing him and their agenda, always about money.

Action Bronson wants Eric Adams to help alleviate taxes for people born and raised in New York, giving locals a break instead of taxing billionaires. They should clean up fraud and waste before asking for more taxes. This year was a mess with horrible weather; the city was a garbage hole with 7 ft high piles of garbage, especially bad with snow. Union reps prevented sanitation workers from cleaning during strikes; workers had to sit in trucks until told to move. Pay sanitation workers well because the job sucks but is super necessary—backbreaking, dangerous, out in weather, hanging off trucks, risk of injury. It's not unskilled; try driving that truck. Compared to money spent on homeless situation with no improvement, sanitation workers deserve good pay, pensions, dental. Eric Adams made residents buy $100 garbage cans from his cousin. Now adding giant bins, which might keep rats out but could worsen rat problems if garbage is picked up less. New York has a giant rat problem; construction disturbs them. Rats and people form an ecosystem—rats eat human garbage. During pandemic, rats freaked out without restaurant waste, eating each other.

Joe saw rats eat a dead rat in his garage overnight—nothing left but tail, skin, feet. Heard rats rattling a storage gate like an underground strike force. Need coyotes to control rats; heard packs howling in New York City and Central Park. Don't leave cats outside. Saw owl in daytime; rats hide in engines, chewing BMW wiring insulation. Trash bins might reduce issues. Rat biomass in NYC roughly equals human biomass by weight, but since rats are smaller, there are many more—outnumbers people. Insects globally have biomass several times larger than humans; ants alone 20% of human dry carbon mass.

Love bugs; they're signs of healthy areas upstate. Check for ticks—geranium and lavender oil spray repels them. Friend got bit, caught Lyme 3 days later, treated with antibiotics. Ticks in creases like legs, ankles; bullseye rash appears days after bite, but can fade before doctor visit. Friend and son got Lyme; doctor didn't believe until son developed Bell's palsy (facial paralysis, also called Guillain-Barré syndrome). Dice Clay had it, performed on stage with half his face paralyzed. Alpha-gal syndrome from lone star tick makes people allergic to red meat—ruins bone-in filets and gains.

Diet: game meat, sweet potatoes (exchanged for pasta), touch of white rice, bison. Evan Funk makes amazing pasta; had him on show early. Stefan Seti (Stephano) in New York makes al Matarano with wooden dowel, old style. Osteria Francescana in Modena (Massimo Bottura); chef there opened Reostor in New York, takes great care of Action's mother. Made tortellini; art like performance. Had Devin Haney and Yuri making pasta in kitchen.

Yuri upset after hurting Carlos Ulberg's knee; continued potshotting injured leg, got clipped by check hook left (step-back hook, weight on front leg). Alexander Volkanovski broke it down on YouTube. Carlos stayed composed, tried jumping switch kick to head despite injury. Fighters must be ruthless; Khalil Rountree sidekicked Modestas Bukauskas' knee sideways, blew it apart—nicest guy but takes advantage.

Khalil changed after Thailand training; first win over Eric Anders—lit up legs with Muay Thai, light front foot, super sharp speed confuses opponents (faster than middleweights, light heavyweight frame). Eric Anders toughest—stoic under leg destruction, 10-year UFC career, invested in houses. Southpaw vs southpaw opened power leg for attacks. Sound of kicks memorable. Johnny Walker KO'd Khalil earlier with clinch elbow, wild style; later hurt shoulder doing worm after Ciryl Gane fight, never recovered.

Carlos Ulberg impressed by maintaining composure despite blowing out his knee during a jumping switch kick attempt. He fell but scrambled back up without showing anxiety, remaining a stone-cold killer. With a blown-out knee, he delivered a perfect left hook to KO the wild, aggressive Yuri Prochazka. CKB guys produce world champions who find ways to win under adversity. South Pacific fighters have a different breed mentality; City Kickboxing (CKB) camp is phenomenal, led by super smart head coach Eugene Bareman.

Action Bronson visited CKB in 2018 before Izzy vs. Brunson, saw the old gym, DJed at a friend's restaurant in New Zealand playing 70s funk, African, and Brazilian music. Everyone from the camp came through for a good time.

Rumors of Hamzat Chimaev and Gordon Ryan wrestling are not true. Both like RAF for its new excitement over pure wrestling action. Wrestling is the most important skill in MMA but prefer it mixed rather than singularly. To reach elite level, must excel at wrestling alone. George St-Pierre learned wrestling from Russian nationals in Montreal without high school/college background—two to three years in Dagestan suffices.

Excited for Hamzat Chimaev vs. Sean Strickland in Newark; both attending. White House event sounds like hoopla, might watch on TV. Strickland hard to take down, hold down, hit on feet; awkward, clever style reminiscent of Bernard Hopkins but looser, wilder with kicks, takedowns, teeps off front leg, accurate jab that breaks noses, good straight punches. Three kinds of jabs: soft, stepping hard jab—Strickland throws them all.

Azamat Murzakanov has an evil jab that steps forward like a hook, knocked out Rochel Santos (Rocky) with it despite Rochel's wars and chin issues. Murzakanov stuck to strategy against Paulo Costa, who looked phenomenal at light heavyweight—advise never return to middleweight, he's a light heavyweight champion.

Magomed Ankalaev out for a year with ACL reconstruction; could be interim light heavyweight champion—terrifying at 205. Recalls his dominant rise, hiccups like Izzy Adesanya mind-fucking him for years, making him look lesser, but he's rebounding. Luke Rockhold fight helped; great performance despite high altitude in Utah—Rockhold nearly KO'd him.

Paulo Costa vs. Azamat was best recent Paulo, physically stronger at light heavyweight, harder punches/kicks, perfect fit at 34 (prime age there). Ate big shots unflinchingly. Cutting to 185 unbelievable with his muscle mass; depletes him. Better at 205, walks around 230ish, could be good heavyweight—offered to step in if Derrick Lewis falls out of White House card.

Fun matchup at heavyweight; similar weight ~240 but different builds. Curtis Blaydes' hand four times normal size; impressive he didn't go down from Paulo's punches despite Blaydes' blown eye socket, broken nose. Curtis showed incredible heart, gave everything—no quit. Close enough some could score a round for him, but egregious; he left nothing in tank after third round. Beautiful heavyweight fight but sad as fighters can only do a few.

Compares to Cain Velasquez vs. Junior dos Santos—nasty wars. Cain never tired, constant pressure tests heart. Want to hug Cain; judge wouldn't allow podcast before prison, but now possible. No single heavyweight GOAT—different peaks. Stipe Miocic defended most, beat prime Ngannou despite getting rocked. Fedor Emelianenko the real GOAT for hardcore fans.

Fabricio Werdum tapped Cain Velasquez, Minotauro Nogueira, Fedor (when Fedor was Fedor); prime Werdum beat Cain, Mark Hunt (flying knee for title)—tapped three all-time greats. Fedor beat Werdum via GNP. Prime Cain unstoppable: tornado punches, takedowns, top wrestling, no fatigue. Brock Lesnar tapped him; great Mexican cardio, heart, chin—high altitude genetics, warrior genetics like Volkanovski, Macedonians, mountain people, Merab Dvalishvili, Umar Nurmagomedov.

Many fighters lack transferable skills, can't throw baseball. Baseball/basketball build dexterity; gymnastics till 10 then martial arts (Khabib's advice)—develops body control. Action Bronson shredded at 6 from gymnastics.

Key: Can Chimaev clip Strickland on feet? Can Strickland stop takedown? Hard to stop Chimaev—smiling, takes you down explosively like Allen Iverson crossover. Handles non-elite wrestlers easily; elite grapplers like Gilbert Burns challenged him (stood and traded, Burns rocked/dropped him). Burns elite at getting up; tremendous career, just retired.

Kamaru Usman short-notice at 185—great fight, Usman had momentum in third; five-rounder with full camp intriguing. Stalemate wrestling exchanges unlike Chimaev ragdolling others. Bad blood with Kevin Holland pre-fight, altercation at event—Chimaev from war zone, different rules, used to real fights to survive.

Chimaev post-KO had long COVID, lungs messed up from training psychopathically through it—coughing blood, hospitalized. Similar to Pelino and Pereira training/fighting sick before first Ankalaev bout; Pereira at 263 now, true body type, Brazilian cowboy/Amazon warrior genetics, bone density, indigenous.

Yuri Prochazka scared of Pereira's spiritual warfare (shrinking head chants), asked no spiritual stuff in rematch. Carlos Ulberg's will through torn ACL mesmerizing—KO'd for title while others cry career over. Freak injury from bad foot placement in scramble, not slippery octagon. Nasty pop visible. He'll recover as champion; Paulo interim champ idea.

He stepped on the inside angle of the foot during a scramble, but showed impressive athleticism by spinning off and staying on his left leg despite instability. Fighters compete in the UFC with no ACL, like Rafael dos Anjos who fought without one while still near the top after losing the title, beating many opponents. Dos Anjos in his prime had sculpted conditioning, looking like marble from the Vatican.

Fans ask Action Bronson to pose questions to Joe Rogan, including when he'll have Mirko Cro Cop on. Rogan spoke with Cro Cop recently via a Croatian training partner Dean who resembles him. Cro Cop is a legend, funny, speaks good enough English. Rogan watched Cro Cop vs. Fedor (around 2000), a crazy fight. Recent picture shows Cro Cop at 51 still shredded; real ability doesn't fade.

Cro Cop was the first explosive kickboxer to excel in MMA, unlike technical slappers like Ernesto Hoost or Peter Aerts who set up strikes. He exploded with liver and head kicks, fast and powerful. Fought with shoes on early in MMA.

Cro Cop looks like a giant but athletic, unlike many with gigantism who are unathletic with knocking knees. Bigfoot Silva beat Fedor and had a giant face. Victor Wembanyama (7'4", 235 lbs, 22 years old) dribbles behind his back, shoots threes despite height; lighter giants like Rick Smits move differently. Wembanyama's younger brother (16-17, already 6'10") is the future of sports—giants are real, referenced in Bible and ancient football.

Icelandic giants like The Mountain (Hafþór Björnsson from Game of Thrones), Jón Páll Sigmarsson, Magnús Ver Magnússon, Jónni Björnsson, Yoke vinn (Finland). Viking genetics; they arrived in gigantic boats with animals, swinging swords, maces, hammers.

Rewatching Game of Thrones final season. Watching Mob Land with Tom Hardy, Pierce Brosnan, Helen Mirren—legendary cast. Action Bronson could do an accent (tries Irish/Liverpool: "For fuck's sake"), live with Paddy Pimblett and Meatball Molly to learn Scouse, wants to box.

Action Bronson broke his leg in 2010 slipping in kitchen carrying hamburgers while floor was mopped, wrong shoe, caught behind him—clean break in half, got plate and pins, now bionic and strong but feels it if kicked exactly there. Like Piers Morgan breaking hip. Was in peak shape biking daily. Avoids high kicks due to fear; prefers clinch/inside knees. Advice: hip mobility with ballerina bars—stand on one leg, swing other up to open flexors, build dexterity and supporting muscles. Everyone should have leg/hip mobility for low kicks.

Trains with Plinio Cruz in Nutley, NJ (50 min away), holds pads, teaches fighting like Alex Pereira. Takes mind off other stresses, constant therapy against burnout; seasonal person, does what feels right. Not into golf but good at pitch and putt (no drives, 70-100 yard park game with wedges).

Golf courses average 2 par 3s, 2 par 5s per side, rest par 4s; start with drive for max distance to minimize strokes, like PGA/Masters at Augusta.

Want to smoke hash on golf courses while others play. Potential show produced like Action Bronson's Ancient Aliens at Vice (rented studio, green screen); Vice messed up despite shows like Eddie Bravo's. Upcoming: Taibo with Billy Blanks, Ryan Serhant (Thursday). Did Wheel of Fortune and dominated (can't spoil yet), eyes Jeopardy. Filming Taibo; knows Blanks from The Last Boy Scout first scene.

Damon Wayans underrated comic/action star (Bulletproof with Adam Sandler). Keenen Ivory Wayans in Lowe Down Dirty Shame. In Living Color life-changing. Goldfish tank platform shoes pimp.

Rumors of Chappelle's Show return, maybe movie. At Eddie Murphy AFI award speech, Dave Chappelle suggested Eddie play Charlie Murphy's parts. Doesn't want to without Charlie. Action Bronson lunched with Eddie and Charlie at Four Seasons Maui (Moana Surf Club?); psychedelic meeting legends. Met Martin Lawrence at Knicks vs. Lakers, fanboyed whispering how much he meant (grandparents learned English from his show).

Saw prime Martin destroy at Comedy Store '90s, followed him and bombed. Mitzi Shore put promising young comics after legends to test them. Most important non-comedian in comedy. Pauly Shore earned it as stand-up, babysat by Sam Kinison.

Comedy Store survived pandemic closure. Current comics as funny; like Stavros Halkias. More funny comics now than ever, excitement for newcomers. Kill Tony great platform: one minute set, Tony roasts if bad (sometimes funny post-suck), no yanking/competition, feedback, path via open mics, road work, YouTube specials (easy sharing, million views). Clear career path unlike luck-based past; minors to majors.

Someone got to feed me some good political situations. Good things only. The path to being a rapper starts with being nice and good. You shouldn't do it if you suck, and your friends should tell you, "Yo, listen, this is not for you. Let's step away from this and do something else." You have to have good people around you. Action Bronson had a lot of haters around him, but no one told him to stop, which inspired him to keep going. You just have to have it within you—either you have it or you don't. He's been around 16 years, seen many people come and go, but he's been a constant and doesn't think he's peaked yet. He feels on the brink of new explorations and breakthroughs, avoiding stagnation. He looks older and grizzled, like Sean Connery, because he started at 27 as a man, not a 15-year-old kid. People have seen him age and become more of a man, unlike kids who look the same 16 years later.

Well, that's a great attitude anyway. If you're just continuing to improve at something, that's a great way to live life.

He loves learning and new experiences, finding new things he loves every day. He feels blessed with hobbies falling into his lap as a connoisseur of many things.

He loves gardening and overlanding, wanting to take his truck everywhere. He got a brand new 2026 Sequoia—best purchase ever. They never break, heavy duty with four-wheel drive and incredible power. Toyotas are hard to go wrong with. His mother had an '83 Toyota Celica called Brownie that got them everywhere. Then a '94 Jeep Grand Cherokee Forest Green, followed by a Hyundai Sonata stolen the night before the Brett Favre Jets experiment. He went to the store in his underwear, bought a vanilla Dutch and a Set for Life, and two kids jumped in and dipped. He had to file a police report in underwear; cops asked why he was in underwear, and he joked, "Should I take them off?"

He put a lift on the Sequoia, changed to 35-inch Toyos, got a crazy roof rack. Planning a Dobinson's kit for more lift and a Dakar Rally vibe. Wants to drive to the unknown, camp in woods. Needs something more mobile than his burly truck—old Land Cruisers or Mitsubishi Pajero right-hand drive. Lexus GX is real good: comfort, lifts, aftermarket parts, Toyota motor, reliable.

Joe has a '95 Land Cruiser in Lexus atomic silver, painted. Action Bronson loves them. Joe has a Hennessy Raptor R turned into a 1,000 horsepower pickup—ridiculous but necessary. He's taken it to ranches; great for off-road with wheel travel, lifted suspension, independent arms, pliable over rough ground. Old Land Cruisers have solid axles front and rear for hardcore off-roading durability. Guys obsess over weird trails and rocks. He's getting into it, soon in Moab. Jeeps are good—small, easy to move, tons of aftermarket. Fun souping things up. Joe's working on an '87 M6 for 12 years, turning it into a Baja rally car: lifting, big wheels. Done dropping cars; only lifting now. Subconsciously prepping for end of civilization with apocalypse vehicles like Japanese GI Joe truck. Ferraris stuck on highways; need off-road capability.

Can't get into Ferrari now—seats hug ass. Little tiny guy with cigarette, legs crossed deep bend. Nuts don't allow it; tucks them in the gap. European thing. Rafir does it. Liberals do it to signal non-threatening, feminine, progressive. Trump sits open with hands over balls. Women mad at manspreading on subways because hips designed that way.

Ancient Aliens started when Vice nearly took over History Channel and needed content. Action Bronson fought to keep it, spoke to creator for four hours, got blessings. Everything tongue-in-cheek but he's a proponent and believer. Creator passed a couple years ago—not Giorgio Tsoukalos (the meme with hair: "I'm not saying it's aliens... but it's aliens"). Other experts like Erich von Däniken, who died recently. Joe met him via Eric Weinstein; von Däniken all-in on aliens building everything. Joe believes ancient civilization ended and reborn, with incredible lost human tech explaining structures like recent Mexico uncovers (thought Aztecs built them). Pyramids in Antarctica, odd mountains, domes, points underneath. Amazon has civilization under riverbed via LIDAR. Friend Luke Caverns explores; one in Peru legit but nearly impossible to reach, deep in uncontacted tribe land, 25 miles walk after small river.

Google Earth shows pyramid-like in middle of nowhere at Peru-Brazil border, bushes-covered, right angles, not eroded naturally—plane around it. Looks built, isosceles, triangular, possibly five sides. Geologists call it Serano, blame wind/rain/erosion, but no nearby eroded rocks. Luke says many unexplored jungle structures, resistance due to tribes/jungle. Pattern like star in sky. Another similar one nearby.

Scans hint at complex mega-structure beneath Giza Plateau. Satellite images show 108 ft tall dune; signal processing researcher claims possible second sphinx hidden under mound opposite the first (pyramids center, sphinxes flanking). Sphinxes often in pairs as guardians flanking roads, doorways, staircases, temple entrances—not solitary. Rows line processional roads, one each side of path. Some face east/west. First sphinx uncovered from sand; excavation takes time, careful with workers/machines.

Oldest Sphinx photos ~1850-1860 or 1892; part still underground. Place 4,500 years old.

Rico Verhoeven and Usyk fighting at pyramids—bugged out but cool backdrop, natural arena. Hot with sandstorms—how's it going to work?

Weird lady sphinx head unearthed with pointy ears (hair). Maybe chick wanted her face. One big jacked arm/breast. Weird we like two breasts but not three—middle gross, unnatural. If normal, we'd like it. Fertility dolls vary; ants like honey on ass. Obsessed with ass despite feces—dream of biting it. People complex. Mike Tyson advised never speak bad about self; subconscious doesn't know if joking. Wise, possibly from Bruce Lee. Don't call self jerk or schmuck.

What are they going to do if there's a sandstorm in the middle of the fight and they get sand in their eyes? They're swinging blind. They tried to do it in Times Square. It was a mess. The fights weren't that good either, except Tfimo. Timo fought really well. You got to bring the right people. Someone was saying it's almost like they're paying them so much these guys are scared to lose. That was the argument about that Times Square card. The Saudis came in throwing that truck. They don't like rap. They haven't hollered at me. I would go there. I'd be interested in seeing the Middle East. I've been to a lot of places on earth, but never over there. I've been to Dubai briefly for a UFC weigh-in and the UFC in Abu Dhabi. It was great, a long time ago. Best possible conditions with UFC, staying in a nice hotel. A lot of money over there. Dubai is even crazier now. Construction is nuts, high tech, everything's beautiful, no crime. People have moved to Dubai because there's no crime. But there's no hash. You get caught with that, you go to jail forever. They're the ones who have been making it for millions of years. They're keeping it for themselves. Wonder why they make it so illegal over there. Maybe worried about people behaving foolishly because they don't have any tolerance for bullshit over there.

Amsterdam is a goddamn mess when it comes to weed. Even since weed is legal in America in some places, it's a carnival. Places like New York now that weed is legal, it's disgraceful. People smoking weed openly in the street, obnoxiously. Weed smoke everywhere. The way it's done is obnoxious. Like we could finally do it legally, let's be real stupid about it. That'll eventually settle down, just because it's new. Not the people who are connoisseurs. I like to do it nice and chill, chilling in the crib. You don't want to annoy people with it. Back in the day, used to come into class smelling like the most weed to exude coolness, smelling like the sour. Who's that smell? Some rush. Being in class all stoned in the back. It worked out. A lot of people thought it wouldn't. I've been sold short my whole life. People who had bad opinions back then look at you now like, "Boy, did I call that one wrong?" Just in general, did all right. Reflecting a lot under the stars and in nature. Overlanding, now camping, base camp, grounding. Take shoes off, feel the grass.

Went down a crazy space rabbit hole of black holes. Black hole as big as our solar system, bigger than from here to Pluto. Found one bigger than our galaxy, Phoenix A black hole. Roughly 100 times larger than the distance between the sun and Pluto with a diameter of roughly 590 billion km. Unlike many supermassive black holes that inhibit star formation, Phoenix A is in a phase of rapid growth, consuming enough matter to grow about 60 solar masses per year. This drives high rates of star formation in its surrounding galaxy. Amount of time for a black hole to suck in that much matter to become that massive—there's not enough time since the birth of the universe. Confused as to how it's formed. Maybe wrong about how these things are formed. Can't really see a black hole. See everything around it getting sucked in, weird movement.

Milky Way lives in a void like a black hole, two billion light years across, in the middle of it. Nothing else around us. Milky Way in the center of a void. Is that uncommon? Are all galaxies in the center of a void? Super massive black hole 100 times larger than Earth-Pluto distance. This is why we have to be smoking weed in front of a green screen talking about this and having weird people come on and comment.

News about UFO researchers and scientists gone missing. Top doctors, physicists, astronomers in power positions or high knowledge go bye-bye. Best heart surgeons on earth, seven on the same plane that went down. Just found the cure for cancer, 10 doctors on a PJ go down. Jesse wrote a good write-up explaining the conspiracy angle with UFOs. Laying out possibility of conspiracy. Top doctors, physicists disappear. One was a general in charge of UFO program. Left house with red backpack, wallet, 38 caliber revolver. Left behind phone. Wife reported missing within 3 hours. FBI involvement, Air Force Office of Special Investigation, search dogs, drones, helicopters, horseback teams, fleet sweeps, 700 canvassed households. No confirmed sightings. Surveillance cameras covered both ends of street, none captured direction of travel. After weeks, only item recovered: gray Air Force sweatshirt a mile east of house. Testing could not confirm it was his. First one to disappear, then another, might have worked together, then every other day another one.

If you knew something the world didn't, like human race as soul containers for super advanced alien race using us as a farm, empty body with aliens hosting us. Hacked emails from Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman John Podesta revealed correspondence from Tom DeLonge naming McCasland directly. Tom DeLonge wrote that Massland helped assemble his advisory team, deeply aware of what DeLonge was trying to achieve, received 4-hour briefing. Massland ran laboratory at Wright-Patterson where Roswell material was shipped. He was in charge of Air Force lab at Wright-Patterson. Lore that wreckage shipped there.

Monica Rez known for patent on super metal alloy called Mandaloy, used in rocket engines. Co-invented alloy for rocket engines. Hiking, friend turned around, saw her, kept hiking, said something, turned around later, gone. No one found her. People with patents on key components like clip turning gun automatic. Those little components turn bigger things into super situations. Crazy alloy for spaceships. If competitor country, want to take out scientists. If work makes your work obsolete, get rid of her. Always happened. Story as old as time. Get rid of one, next comes in. Especially in big business like rocket engines, alloys, space travel. Even something small like numbers betting, they kill you.

Album: Planet Frog coming out real soon, dropping now. Hype shit. Many projects on the way for the year. Shout out to KG Barbecq. Made him a star. Good workout. Came to work out, chill, kick it, talk fights. Always fun to hang. Here for a good time.
