Joe Rogan (0:02)

Here we go, three, two, one. Fucking yee-haw, Felipe, how are you, sir?

Felipe Esparza (0:08)

What's up, fool? Good, man, thanks for having me.

Joe Rogan (0:11)

Do you have to say that?

Felipe Esparza (0:12)

I don't know.

Joe Rogan (0:12)

It seems like it, like, you said, what's up, dude? And then you said, what's up, fool? You corrected yourself.

Felipe Esparza (0:18)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (0:18)

Like, I'm slipping. Is that like, when you have such a cool saying, like you do, you almost feel compelled to use it.

Felipe Esparza (0:24)

Yeah.

It all started like, people in my neighborhood would answer the phone like that. Oh, really? Like, I was dating this girl and I called her up and her brother answered her phone, what's up, fool?

Joe Rogan (0:34)

Yeah, it's normal, right?

Felipe Esparza (0:35)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (0:35)

That is a cool Mexican thing to say.

Felipe Esparza (0:39)

No, probably more like the hood. The hood? More like the West Coast hoodie.

Joe Rogan (0:43)

West Coast hood that's not necessarily Mexican?

Felipe Esparza (0:46)

Mexicans and blacks, like, we took it from the blacks.

Joe Rogan (0:49)

Oh, okay.

Felipe Esparza (0:50)

But mostly like West Coast, South Central, East LA, Boyle Heights.

Joe Rogan (0:54)

Boyle Heights in the house.

Felipe Esparza (0:55)

Yeah, man. For sure.

Joe Rogan (0:55)

For sure, yeah. What, that's a, you know, this is a contentious time for fucking people when it comes to like Mexicans and Americans with this whole wall thing.

Felipe Esparza (1:08)

Yeah.

And I went to, I went to go to look at the walls because I went to Mexico, Tijuana, and I was like right at the border of the gate, like the gate is not a wall, it's just a gate. And across from the gate, they have like eight wall prototypes.

Like the ones, like eight wall prototypes. Like there's one wall that's like, it's a wall with cement and it has concrete. Then there's another wall that's different. And then another wall. It's like, they have, you know when you, when you go buy tile for your house?

Joe Rogan (1:41)

Yeah.

Felipe Esparza (1:42)

And they show you all the tiles.

Joe Rogan (1:44)

Oh, wow.

Felipe Esparza (1:45)

Those are what the walls are.

Joe Rogan (1:46)

Little home depot.

Felipe Esparza (1:48)

Yes.

Joe Rogan (1:49)

Like a sign, like a placard with different, wow, look at that.

Felipe Esparza (1:52)

That's it. I was right, I was there. I was right in front of that.

Each one of those, I think it cost 25 million. Each wall. Each one.

Joe Rogan (2:00)

Each little fake one?

Felipe Esparza (2:01)

Yeah. What?

Joe Rogan (2:03)

Someone's getting robbed. Like, there's some contractors right now in New Jersey going, wait, wait, hey, hey, what the fuck? I could do that for 30 grand.

Anytime you have a wall, historically, shit goes down, right? People want to get over that wall. It's natural.

Felipe Esparza (2:24)

People want to get out.

Joe Rogan (2:25)

People want to get out, want to get in. We got a wall.

Here's what the craziest shit about the wall. I'm sure you've seen where it goes into the ocean.

Felipe Esparza (2:33)

Yeah it was there.

Joe Rogan (2:36)

How are you going to stop people from going around that?

That is the silliest thing ever. That is having this gigantic, huge, yeah. The free wall. That is having a gigantic, huge, impenetrable boundary, I mean, ive seen them on the oundary, but on one side, there's just like a door.

Felipe Esparza (2:53)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (2:54)

That's a door. You can go right around that. I mean, it'd be hard to bring all your shit. So what happens?

These guys right there are on the Mexico side, and those guys over there are on the California side. Like, that is the weirdest shit ever.

Felipe Esparza (3:08)

They play volleyball with each other. Do they? Yeah.

Joe Rogan (3:10)

Really?

Felipe Esparza (3:12)

That's so crazy. They added another piece to that wall right there. So that wall, that's an old wall. See, that's the construction of the wall that I saw now. Yeah.

Wow, man. You can still swim, but as soon as you swim, you know, part of the coast guards will come get you.

Joe Rogan (3:29)

That is so crazy. Just what a strange, and people are like, oh, yeah, you don't want a wall? Relax. I haven't said any of that. Not saying that. I'm saying just look at this just as a, use your brain, just look at this objectively and see how bizarre it is that there's a gigantic physical boundary that keeps certain people from going into a certain area.
