Transcript

0:00 The Joe Rogan Experience. when did you start? 2009? Yeah. And what year did you become the king of podcasting? Five years first of all, my network would never let me do that. They own my ass. They pay me very well for exclusivity. But I found out is a great way to put it. I mean, from knowing things is a great way to put it. I said, for example, on Real Time last week, the two topics we

3:07 I'm not the guy in the suit and the tie and the white shirt with perfect hair. And I said, you know, from when people write in to YouTube and so forth saying, oh, I'm going to take a look at real time now. of your rants that take up probably 30% of the show, There's so, you know. or they just want to watch the monologue You know, like, you would never know who he is

6:40 But it was just like one laugh after another. You know, there are just people like that. And it's just, it's almost like's, it's almost like the cliff notes And then books. Well, we need you and we need him too. You don't necessarily. Nice. Mixed. I'm talking about politically. Yeah. That really doesn't happen anymore in America. It's a weird mingling sometimes when I meet them out in public.

10:39 changed. Yeah, I feel I'm the same guy. But five years ago, you know, we hadn't spent six trillion dollars to stay home. common sense. I, you know, centrism is such a wishy-washy word. But that's sort of what it is. amount of freedom and wants the people to get along and work things out amicably right but That just galvanizes them. And it's not just we're saying common sense.

13:41 And everybody's like, finally, someone's saying it on tv because maybe someone I'm in the D League. I mean, Johnny Carson never did. apparently, in late night television unless you are political, unless the audience knows exactly The names of the shows, politically incorrect, real time. Are they one step behind? Hardcore. but Disney sort of had gay days

17:09 Disney World is in Florida. There is corporations, I think, yes, are always going to want to. the details and go, well, I'm with the Democrats and the left. He was so polarizing that if you It's heating. we do about it is a different story. But for years, they just denied it. They went right from denying that as a comedian of course i'm going to go where the material is isn't it fascinating that the

21:06 I wonder if he's like one of them like hardcore and rind It's not a religion. But they don't, at the end of the day, Those cycles happen too. Right. And Kylie Jenner, who's about the same age, a little older, but very close, has like 300 million. Right, of course. Obviously, the kids want to be Kylie. me don't gaslight me right right you know i mean we are it is a real thing i mean the un the their

24:42 And it's like, I agree. I remember James Hansen of've said it so many times i remember james hansen of nasa said it i think I was very depressed that week. Wow. Really like Lord of the Rings, it was wild. Let me say one thing before we move on because I don't want to mischaracterize what these different guys said. a climate denier. Are we talking about Bjorn Lundberg? No. I'll tell you who he is. Okay. That you can kind of follow he said humans are 100% having an influence on that it was he wasn't a client

28:00 But I desperately want to hear this. Inger Dessler and Stephen turn. Sounds like a real asshole. Because all I ever want is the facts. I'm interested. When people tell me dumb things, I ask if they believe in ghosts. Because there's too many highly intelligent people who I know This was not a drink. and so there's like a pattern in our head for looking for things in the dark maybe people

31:29 People's brains produce dimethyltryptamine. So if your brain just lets a little out, and then you're just like, you're tripping balls, Right. You know, there's like so many things in life. That's the main one people abuse. I don't think this – you couldn't find four weeks in my whole life where I smoked seven days in a row. Do as much as you can stand.

34:04 We just don't think, we're essentially microdosing. It was kind of like that, I remember when I first did it, when used correctly, like a potent psychedelic. We're essentially microdosing. My mother looking at the window like, what are they doing? Really? Wow. I think most of the body's energy is spent digesting food. And so, yeah, about a couple times a year I will not eat for five days.

37:05 which was great because that's my Testosterone replacement? Yeah. It's a fact in terms of your overall vitality and your physical energy. If it's not, your muscles, your bones are going to get less dense. But certainly by 54, I remember, you know, mortality is just on your mind in a way that it wasn't on my mind for one second when I was even 40. Okay.

39:37 You have the good immune system at that age. If you – oh, that's – Well, there is a marked difference in generations about anxiety. And of course, if a generation has anxiety That's not a healthy place for society to be. I was in Chicago, Anyway, so the driver tells us the story about, he said, you know, my four-year-old, if she sees me without a mask, she has a panic attack about it.

43:10 You know, from two to four, she lived with masks always and in school. It sort of got subsumed into the virtue signaling world. I personally didn't think I needed it. Of course I keep it in as good a shape as I can. According to Aaron. That's the problem these days. Oh, well, I think he told me. I can either confirm or deny. I would trust that it came from the CDC.

47:38 anything medical is everyone else I feel, or most people, are giving us too much credit for where we are medically. MS and Lyme disease. You just don't know very much. It's not an insult. You just don't. So just don't tell me, well, we are perfectly certain that this vaccine is safe, or we are perfectly certain They've taken hundreds of drugs off the market.

50:31 That's in the thousands. So it turns out it might give you cancer. And it was on the market for 15 years. to patients taking this medication. talked about this channel of elastin that runs all through the body that definitely a real It's way back in there. to weigh in on this because they don't fucking often know more than somebody else, a holistic

54:12 Even if you were a reasonable person that just wanted to talk about different kinds of medications, like monoclonal antibodies in particular. Because it works really well. I did the first week of the, I remember So whenever, so like just to indemnify ourselves, let's say, at least I'm going to say, that that is still the big headline. There is a vaccine.

55:43 Exactly. I'm talking about a medical issue here that was the biggest medical issue before COVID, and I'm sorry, still is. That's it. Sensitivity is important. Because it doesn't affect their appearance It's right bang bang. Everything's all fucked. It doesn't know why it's so fat Stop it. So crazy. But there is something negative to that. Now, Big people.

1:00:20 If it was just that you look sloppy. Right. they did Obamacare. People said very this is why they did Obamacare. There's this thing we have You pay your fucking student loans. like having a fire department? idea to think that this is a bad thing. Just to bite back against that. Maybe you can look it up on your magic light box. has risen to $837,000.

1:04:41 not? Is there no number for which I cannot remonstrate against this? We need to provide them with money. blah, good for the environment. And it was when they finally pulled the plug, Okay. I was never in Boston. Oh, exactly. That was the whole thing about it, so much money from it. Oh, exactly. Right, right. And then they were still doing it when I came back.

1:07:29 I mean, look, when I hear about build back better, okay, look, certainly the country needs to get rebuilt. Yeah. this shit up with their big fucking snouts. Common sense. I mean, that's what they do not have the traditional Republican issues. Republicans now, no, I'll think about that. difference where we've never been before so i need to see someone saying that sound like

1:11:13 You don't think so? Democracy is not as important. That guy looks like a man who needs marijuana, right? Of course, any place where they're very religious, they're also very freaky. It's fun. And people who are rebel Mormons. I should probably get one. I mean, I remember being in Alaska 10 years ago, and I've never seen a place like that And Fairbanks, it was almost like a Western town.

1:13:51 they didn't care and that was like And you know, everyone has a gun in their glove compartment. You know, you just see, you're just, Yeah, bears. All the other ones don't attack people. They run away to stomp you out. This is a moot point. When you meet them in the woods, they look at you like this. You're saying don't have one as a pet. I'm saying you got to mind your p's and q's if you see a fucking moose

1:17:09 Yeah. You seem obsessed with protecting me I just think if you find yourself in the woods, you should know this information. Not to keep beating my horse about they don't know anything, but there's one. You know, one week you have a burning in your head, and the next week your legs are sore. had him on the show a number of times. But his view on medicine, I think, was much more orthodox

1:20:07 Shantix. take any medication and let it they didn't know they had it or the doctor didn't know they you but I do think I remember him saying toward the end, That fucking sucks. I'm sure it is. That's the genetic roll of the dice thing. I mean, the mind and the body do work in conjunction. So your body allocates blood to the muscles? Yes, the body allocates everything. Yes.

1:23:15 Your face gets red, too, though. Because I'm thinking so poorly that my face is red. That's interesting, like that your face is red because you're embarrassed that you're upset. Just kidding. It's one of the wildest cultures of all the Native American tribes. It's just an incredible group of Native Americans that figured out how to ride horses. No. No. Native Americans, until until Europeans returned didn't use horses.

1:25:48 Even if the Americans didn't come along and do that horrible market hunting shit, the Native Americans with a horse were so fucking effective that they were just wiping out as He was saying they were so effective at it that over time it was possible that they could They did for the most part. No, no, I'm just— And the reason why there was this amazing population of buffalo, when they first got here and there was millions and millions of buffalo,

1:27:46 the horrible market hunting that killed them really quickly, he's like, over time, you And I'm definitely fucking this up and paraphrasing it. That's it. beatles stones oh you know there's no good answer no it's just like it depends no bad answer i Yeah, they both did. Civilization that existed and the theory is that when people came back and it was all completely abandoned

1:30:14 No, there's jaguars and shit. but it's all just jungle. It's amazing. streets and it's all engulfed in the forest. The jungle just overwhelmed everything. is like deceased people come here I mean, he's done it over and over again. we're humans. Humans are basically the same all over the world. bonfire so he would wiggle to death while burning alive with arms and his

1:33:47 Yeah, very much so. They were the rival of Athens at the height of Greek culture in the 5th century B.C. 05.30 Peter Robinson I think they were – I think they were fucking It happens in prison. Yeah, there's a lot. Yeah, fuck that. Like the lead Nazi. I know him. it lasered off, or do you just not tell off, what if it left like the faintest of scars?

1:37:05 it's very easy to make a swastika Right. you look like you're gay If you don't have a scar, just accept the lasering off. I mean, you could actually see it. The risk that you're injecting ink into your skin? He's who wrote the book of five rings. It's a famous Japanese samurai I can dig all that, but why does he need to be on your arm? No, this is why.

1:39:28 And also, it is ink under the skin. I understand. It's like I was going to say before, people are so fatalistic. With tattoos. David Lee Roth got him a tap-tap style in Japan where they do it like the old school way. Oh, yeah. That stuff. It hooks around. I'm a big fan of Ben. He's got a tattoo vest. I really don't. david lee roth looks hot but why did you get the tattoos you must think i just like art man i like

1:43:12 must be worth millions of dollars. with tattoo art. And getting back to our original starting point. Exactly. Of course. most people i mean it's avoidable is what i'm saying it is but people don't i mean they don't their phone and playing stupid games and looking at pictures and Instagram. either through text messaging right through direct messages or social media people are a lot they're

1:46:10 And that social aspect of social media is completely eliminated because you're not experiencing the person in front of you. People finding it more important to look like they're having a good life and a good time than actually be having one. Oh, sure. And they can go meet these people. But I read this article. So before he got his clothes back on, he was back on the site, I guess.

1:48:32 You know, I mean, men are, especially young men, are feral creatures. You know, like give you a limit of gigabytes you can upload. I think it applied to gambling. I talked to some girl some, I don't know where it was, a long time ago, maybe five, uh I'm good uh how are you doing tonight? What are you? What's up? And also people that younger generation, that Gen Z generation finds it almost aggressive, too aggressive to be approached in person.

1:51:23 Be a normal person and text me first so I know it's coming. You know, what a generation of, you know, frail people. It's so hard. was but people still you like you have to take off work you have to stop working but her whole Yes, but good for you still. to express it and she shouldn't have to be punished for it. And I totally understand why so what move on next but you're asking someone to have a conversation in real time like you're with you on that. I don't like tattoos. So what? Move on. Next.

1:54:59 it like a real conversation, I would assume Right now? Oof. No, I definitely was in that way. versus now where you better toe the line. Yeah. And so the politics comes first and the comedy It's fantastic. playing to that makes it hard to do comedy because that's a very politically correct mindset yeah it Itself is stupid. whenever dissent against the king was...

1:58:58 It's not the right way. I don't care who knows it. I don't think that's the right way to do it. well, here's why I think COVID probably came from bats, because A, B, and C. And then, well, Even the Biden administration admits that. Yeah, it's absolutely a possibility. I know Redfield, the former head of the CDC, firmly believes it was in a lab. But again, that becomes the conservative view.

2:01:04 It's just fucking pure tribalism. It's that toxic? Cover of Newsweek. You're eating the chicken of the cave, as they called it in Anchorman 2. You'd go, what the fuck are you talking about? A lot of people are saying it came from a lab. Maybe it came from a lab no it's everyone's saying it came from a lab now a lot of people are saying it came from a lab maybe it came from a lab i'm not saying they're right but i'm

2:03:14 Yeah, I mean, this one got somehow balled up with anti-Asian racism. MERS is Middle Eastern Respiratory Syndrome. You know what I think is happening? Just be who you are. But for the most part, people are way more accepting about alternative lifestyles today. It's not like all of a sudden everybody's good. And you get sucked into that and like, shit. And I don't trust anything. I mean, whatever I'm told,

2:07:00 poly yeah that polyethylene whatever the fuck it is yeah. I don't. I don't know if that's real. I think we've looked before. Bad for some people. I keep saying, like, I'm glad we have the vaccine. and say, Remember that? Yeah. That's such a baller move. Because what could be more valuable than medical information? Yeah. So they're all guessing. usually antibiotics don't usually kill everything that they're supposed to kill. They kill enough to keep your body able to keep it in check.

2:11:27 Like some ailments, you have to take it. Of course. I'm not against. I'm thrilled. It's like the Steve Jobs thing we It's just where the bottom line is. It's like- But I think locker rooms are also- I've had it twice. took antibiotics. It was wild though. Um, I didn't even know I had it. I had shorts on my friend And so she immediately got me on a high dose of antibiotics.

2:13:52 Oh, they can just really destroy you. about it yeah that's really fascinating because if they could get that to work you could target I mean, it's not something that they can just say to you, oh, we know exactly why you got it. And Well, I will be, blue zones in the world where there are sections of the world where people normally, I mean, the internal organs, of course, also.

2:17:26 I think the good news about cigarette smoking and cancer is the risks are greatly diminished within a certain period of time after quitting. It is smoke in your lungs, but isn't the smoke of one thing It's very different in the chemical profile. a lot of them have problems. No, but you never know. I mean, I've had hippies try to tell me Those, you know, those,

2:19:15 I just like the drugs, okay? Drug users. Rogan experience if it wasn't for marijuana. I'd be probably selling shoes in New Jersey or You think, oh, that's cool. That's such a good point. Coffee doesn't really taste good to a child. I really enjoyed it very much. Club Random. I always enjoy talking to you, Jesus fucking Christ. that's cool. Yeah. I guess they are-

2:22:28 Right. Is that what the thing is? No, not at all. I don't trust him. We're going to have to end this for your own good. Ah, pleasure.
