Joe Rogan Experience #1865 — Aaron Rodgers Transcript

Transcript

0:00 the Joe Rogan experience Djokovic. Yeah, Djokovic. you didn't follow the rules like it defies science, defies logic. It What is it called? and it had just got pulled at the time for blood clots. So I looked into other options which included an immunization process through I don't know that the exact way either do nothing or do this process. And I felt like that this was the best way to protect myself and my teammates and that the NFL would understand and maybe grant me a waiver because one of the most difficult parts about the whole process was

4:58 you could not be around more than three individuals from the team outside the facility. they knew I was not vaccinated, right? There was a lot of public shaming that was attempted to coerce people to get vaccinated. endangered my teammates and, you know, I lied to my teammates or my team from day one that I And then I had a conversation with the league and the league said in this conversation,

8:21 Oh, boy. It was January of 2020 where they started getting them to older people, right? getting it even though they had been vaccinated so this was not you know it wasn't talked about So there's 69 guys on the squad. of making the squad, but they also had an almost 0% opportunity to get a And they were doing this, I call it a witch hunt, you know, where they were asking every single player, are you vaccinated? You know, they're asking a bunch of big quarterbacks

12:06 But thought there's a possibility that I say I'm immunized. Like, what do you say to your teammates and I don't have any judgment on any decision that a guy makes with their own body. beginning of the season, I feel like, and just said, Hey, cause you had talked about in your within 36 hours, I was, you know, symptom free and feeling amazing. But the protocols was you're

15:00 Like everybody was looking for communists. to not take the medication that was pulled for clots that seems pretty fucking reasonable Oh, by the way, I just went from woke up, really bad symptoms to 36 hours later, I feel great. It's just like it was it was ridiculous. And I already said from day one, they knew the medical staff, everybody in the organization,

18:09 I go to the grocery store and I go to Barnes and Noble. I love to read and I got to get my wearing masks, sitting 30 feet away from me. I mean, I think if you want to keep people safe and you want to keep that from spreading and MSNBC and wherever Cool. That's fine. You don't want to keep people safe. That's the benchmark for it. But as we look back now, let's not revise history. Let's not revise history on what actually happened and what was said. Because what was said was, you get the vax, you can't spread it or contract it. And no one seems upset that that was a lie,

20:46 Pandemic of the unvaccinated. They were talking about the fucking White Walkers coming. Winter of death. I mean, Jesus Christ. It's so wild because at that point when they had said that, we had already realized like, oh, this is 78% of the people hospitalized were obese. Most of the people that died were either obese or very overweight or uh rather uh

22:10 But I think it ultimately didn't hurt me So it kind of put the rest of the other 49 MVP voters, I think, on notice going, Oh, this is the best part. Really? and disparage their character and call them lazy and call them entitled to stay on some of their networks. make time for them and haven't heard from any of them i think you got off light that's good

26:41 There's none of that. Yeah, that's why I don't go on those things. Every time. I robot, man. shooting at targets and they were fucking with it yeah hitting in the back and messing around It's an episode of Black Mirror. All you have to do is be able, He's a non-health expert. like a teriyaki flavored stir fried cricket. I was like, what the fuck is this? This is like a few

30:47 It's a fun show. There's not much going on here. I have a distorted perception of food, obviously, because of Fairfactor, I think. And so my Filipino friends were like, that's hilarious. It's just in your head. Yeah, I don't know how that ever became a delicacy it's probably I ate a Madagascar hissing cockroach. And so I said, listen, if you do it, I'll do it.

33:22 Yeah. So it was no big deal, man. Yeah, one of the Backstreet Boys. Stephen Baldwin. Deer penis. Yeah. Guys had to eat, too. It was a weird show. They eat it as a protein shake. That's better. You know, the World Economic Forum's article or the rather advertisement where they're Like how the fuck do you know it makes people happy? I think when whenever I reach a point where I think

36:20 The CEO of Pfizer was on that and he was talking about a medication that you swallow Yeah. which it most certainly is, And aren't we one of the few countries that allows for- Advertising for all these things are going to make you happy. And I said, well, how's it going to get worse? How's it going to get worse than this? Like, Because we're talking about, like, the deviation of cartilage.

39:10 yeah i mean the pain management especially with our sport is fascinating to see how things What did you play on? things that are natural, that don't cause damage to your body. Right. CBD. Yeah. Yeah. But CBD is frowned upon and it's always said, well, there's not enough research yet about, Definitely in our sport, But they don't discourage players from playing on pain pills?

41:55 They put a stop to it and made sure USADA doesn't step out of line, but at least they But like, tortle shots up until recently were really, teammate of mine who was unable to get treatment on a post-surgical operation without being put under anesthesia around addiction to pain pills. The same people that were telling you Which, when I was in college,

44:11 Yep. against pharmaceutical companies, but people are going to have, like, those kind of issues, like cardiovascular issues, Like all of a sudden people put aside all of their thoughts that they had kept. But in the heat of it was exactly the healthiest You're eating shitty food and you have a sedentary lifestyle And no one's telling you, hey, you got to lose weight.

47:13 Yeah, it's very high, very high. in vitamin D. I don't know. They're conditioned to do exactly what they're told by their news station, by their politician. are conditioned to have someone tell them what they can and can't do. And then they get off on an hour that most people don't have the ability to just think for themselves. their social security money

50:34 It's a rough, and the amount of interest based on it. out there working in a field that is not even their field of study in college. So they have You have zero idea. And they're like, how could you? because it was like continuing education program. But I mean, nothing I studied was interesting to me. And I just wanted to go do stuff. the states different parts of europe asia whatever and like go to different cultures think about

54:21 system where someone tells you what to do, I think the better. I I mean there's some people that want that and that's fine nothing nothing There's so much pressure on people. spent my sophomore year. And I remember we, And I remember you're talking about who knows what, But it was a pipe dream. It was a dream for sure, So in my class of 20, So I went to her office, and she was ready for me.

57:16 I said, I'm going to play in the NFL. And what I've seen from you is you won't amount to anything. by people that they deem to be privileged are they deemed to have a better place in life than they had? And I said, hey, look, here's what happened. in some kangaroo court I was disruptive. Maybe she had a thing with football players. she's a damaged lady when she decided to take it out on you took it out on the wrong person though

1:00:49 give people anger and determination to prove that person wrong. Yeah. But the shit part is, Yeah, the power. The people that run those things. this fucking guy just trying to paint his you know his, his fucking house. And he's got like, Fucking some people need conflict in their life Yeah, there's other ones. Yeah. Sometimes they mix them. Yeah. detriment of yourself or at your own expense. But no, it's the opposite. It's actually selfish to

1:05:12 You know, you succeed by telling everybody to fuck off and yell at everybody and kick Then there's that problem. There's to people and communicate with Yeah. I feel like there's got to be rebalancing at some point. culture, it's negative. It's not helpful. And maybe they've been through it or no one has been the rules of discourse, the way they were limiting the way people communicate about things.

1:07:50 and then they're going to infect corporations. These studies were peer-reviewed and they they they got applause for these things and praise and then people saying like, why do you care? I'm like, what do you mean? Why do I care? This is going to, So what, their loans paid for, Well, they didn't have much money left after they sent all that money to Ukraine.

1:10:08 Like, why are you shooting people? and I believe at the time the IRS had bought up something like over a billion or a couple billion rounds of ammunition. $700,000 ammo stockpile as Dems okay 80 billion for agency enforcement and this is in August of I could imagine that. Kind of. Jeez. I mean, it all comes down to Well, I mean, anarchists, their solution is that, I mean, I saw Michael Malice actually talking about this the other day, and he was making some very good points. And he was saying that there's no accountability when it comes to the police in that if they were a private institution, they would have accountability. Like if it was a private institution that was hired to take care of things, they would be able to say, hey, you've done a terrible job of enforcing crime.

1:13:39 on your way to go buy a car and you had $25,000 in a bag, they would just confiscate that money. And I think a large percentage of that money was never returned. You saved up your money. He was making a very interesting argument about it where people are doing something illegal. generates revenue for your company and you're actively trying to make sure that

1:16:47 Because if someone gets arrested and they do something and they get out, in my mind, they did their time. in jail. But how come you guys didn't exonerate people that were in jail for marijuana when you said but one thing that really sticks with me when you're talking about things that the government could do And how many thousands and thousands and thousands of small businesses closed and never opened again?

1:19:17 And many of the establishments that I went to in high school and college and going back and visiting never opened again. Yeah. Maybe it's somewhere in the middle. I thought you meant Gavin Newsom going to French Laundry. since revised that with Omicron apparently is so contagious and some of the new strains or something? No, he was surfing. Passing COVID to the dolphins or what?

1:22:19 And I'm hoping that now that this is over, people are going to, you know, recognize that some serious errors were made and not repeat those. policies in terms of like what, what to do about COVID. And you know, he mapped it out on television. A political shift is beginning to hold across the U.S. as tens of thousands of suburban swing voters who helped fuel the Democratic Party's gains in recent years of becoming Republicans.

1:24:04 Does he say anything about you? It's like, what? Yeah. Like, Obama was famously quoted as saying, you know, Joe has an amazing capacity to this? Yeah. Well, even Obama said it like Obama was famously quoted as saying, you know why are you saying that So in 1988, we had Joe Biden night, where you would do my act and I would do your act. the polarization in this country because people hated Donald Trump so bad that Trump represented

1:26:47 And then four years later, it's going to swing back the other way. Okay? He was the most statesman-like, the most articulate. Yeah. I burned the first two holes. receivers knew a Secret Service agent and got us a White House tour. So we went to DC and got a tour. yeah, sweet. So we ride back in the motorcade, which is the wild experience, like nine cars.

1:29:36 onto Pennsylvania Avenue. Wow. That was a cool experience. That's pretty dope. It's got to be blue, and it's got to be a red tie or a blue tie, right? Yeah, it's not possible. there's a real extreme wing to both sides And they would give him all this press and that's what helped get him elected. a very clear mandate and they had a very clear role that they were playing. And that role

1:32:47 what the fuck? But you're not just a person, you're a fucking journalist, But what they didn't understand, I think they recognize now that there's new leadership I would have liked to have been in the meeting with those people and just sit down and go, can't have people lose all faith and trust that you're objective. And the editorializing Jimmy door and all these other people that have these independent political shows that are objective they give their opinions

1:35:47 about what an asshole Trump was. I thought that fucking Shane Gillis had a good Trump impression Now he can vote for me once he gets out. Excuse me. Fake news. You know that's part of the problem The dummies supported Trump group of people that were previously not politically active, When you have 300, how many people live in the States? Paul. If Ron Paul

1:39:02 When I was a kid, out for an hour. And he just went on television and explained how the federal reserve work and The rigged game is these enormous special interest groups, they put money into both candidates, which is wild. Bill Hicks used to have the joke, well, I think the puppet on the left is more to my We've got you covered. But you've got herpes, kid.

1:41:16 became the United States. And, you know, clearly by people that had an understanding of where human constitution, the bill of rights. Yeah. Which doesn't exist in most countries anywhere. No. There's a lot of problems with any group of human beings, especially when those groups get enormous. So you're always going to have conflict. It's a bunch of people that care about each other and that we could treat the world like a community.

1:43:54 Yeah. I'm on an ayahuasca journey. I've done DMT. By far, the most powerful was DMT. really interesting. I think there's a, there's a hunger for, for what I experienced, what you reflection that i see of myself and you yeah and we're all fucking connected in a such a deeper way and it's just you know doing and like seeing them because I think on a deep level we all just want to be

1:47:31 Yeah. Like you're alone and you're putting something out there and then the other people alone when they're and you have this thought that, you know, And we don't know how to deal with that. a person. We're all human beings. Even people in jail for violent crimes, they're just a person. You're not a bad person. You might have made bad choices, but you're just a person.

1:50:02 where more people could be exposed to it I think the first time I did DMT was early 2000s. what ayahuasca is, is one plant that contains dimethyltryptamine and another plant that It changes how you think about yourself I think it actually just changes what you give a fuck about. and they, uh, what a church probably started out as. If you read the Sacred Mushroom and the Cross, which is

1:53:49 he was like I think these are all these they share these stories like where And they took these scrolls and they had to match up the DNA mushroom because I've done that before too. It didn't really do much. But they think that it So all of it is connected because the psychedelic compounds were in the piss which is how'd they figure that out And that is called Psychedelic Mushrooms and the Christian Myth.

1:57:03 because you really have to understand ancient languages. There was like everyone's dying. And that rain was God's semen. So these people, it would rain, and over again from Aramaic and ancient Hebrew to Latin and Greek and English. And then so much Control sure I mean Martin Luther was almost killed because he translated the Bible into a phonetic language that people could read and

1:59:58 I mean, that was originally— like I merged with the ocean and I'd never done psychedelics before that hippies seem like they had a pretty good time doing a bunch of LSD and stuff. Yeah. But again, I'm sure people have lost their minds. Well, what other people got banned? They might have banned them. They really thought that they were doing the right thing, that this was the good thing

2:02:42 I think I stole a line from either yourself or somebody out on that I said at one point. did you should make any sense or there's some holes in it yeah right but there won't stop transmission or by saying that the virus came from a lab. All those things would get you kicked off of social media initially. which is not, I mean, it's the most plausible scenario. There's not an animal host. They

2:05:09 And then you have Peter McCullough. That's propaganda. you the evidence that I have, you know, my evidence that I've reviewed myself and this Is it as crazy as like the FDA getting 51% of their budget from the how about the CDC stopping And my thing is, like, at a bare minimum, right? of the scorpion and the frog. Just completely selfless and not concerned at all about profits and only looking for the greater

2:08:44 They're going to hide data. They're going to do it by hook or by crook. They're going to weasel. They're going to hide data. Yeah, it's so obvious and so wild. things and then got really badly sick and were very conflicted and didn't know what to do. It's like a virtue signal that I was willing to sacrifice. Yeah. And my kids were so confused. I mean, and you know, that's not good either because it is a real fucking disease.

2:11:38 They held on to, what, 500 million of them or something crazy? that there's an enormous amount of money that's being spread around here, And I want you to do it publicly so that I can get more money out of those other people that are thinking about it and they're on the fence. percentage was in your team. Where you compare the rest of the league? And I started asking them questions about liability. Oh, I'm not a lawyer. Okay, cool. But you're in here talking about

2:14:08 We're above the 90% threshold here. And I got COVID from a fully vaxxed individual who only got vaxxed to keep his um no covid toe but a bunch of other stuff what was covid toe didn't they try to accuse you of And it started this whole thing. I asked for the guy's Yeah. Because if you did, you would know that they were making a joke no one wrote about it. I said, do you think you were like writing some, you know, uh,

2:17:57 Sarcasm? Is that a real thing? Yeah. You should probably look into that. Well, with this stuff, it was specific. Which is why they were so vehement in their opposition to anything else. There's a lot of things that- feel duped. emergency use authorization. They weren't approved. But she was a propagandist. I mean, one that was good at the girl um mckinney what's her name kaylee mckinney the one who worked for

2:21:48 Did you see the one lady that was on with Don Lemon? because you've been fucking poisoned. they can. It depends on what kind of medications keep it together. So let's live in that world thing that's available neuro gum i would give everything that you can to enhance his memory and don't say this. And there's, I respond to that. But I don't even know if that would be good

2:24:24 I'm like shut the fuck up. You're listening. Let me do it. It was over. He took him down for the first time. So I think they erroneously credited that with the first time and it looked like it was three rounds to It's so textbook. extended the left, What is this? So they noticed that as he was moving, he would move off to the right-hand side. in terms of you could say Holly Holm

2:28:07 Up that was a rough night for Rhonda Rousey fan very rough right very very rough night this guy that people maybe in the general public weren't really aware of you know Everybody's aware of the big stars Oh, my God. and puts his arms in the air he goes oh my god that's everybody's reaction was like oh my god Where somebody's been getting beat up. He wasn't, he didn't have his eyes swollen.

2:30:42 In Utah as well because some of the other fights, But there's two there's arguments about that too There's one of the arguments is that the best method to do is actually to sleep at altitude but to train at sea level Yeah, that's the general consensus now, is they think that it's better to sleep at altitude. but Leon used that throughout his camp. So even when Leon was training in England,

2:32:31 If they do have a rematch, it'll be in England. He wouldn't let him fight. You know, was it just a flash knockout? He's awesome. everything there's some fun fights coming up oh yeah man yeah there's some good ones adesanya's doesn't matter what you're doing, just because it's so much more definitive in the MMA world. and then he fought at light heavyweight and he makes 185 by the skin of his teeth.

2:35:41 So he weighed in at 185. Yeah, 100 kilos is 220, so that's... That's incredible. They need to have more weight classes. fighting at 147 and then you have guys that are fighting at 154 and then you have guys that are It's too big. It's totally avoidable. There's a lot of things that I bring up that they go, yeah, we can't. His lips were cracked, and you could see blood in his lips

2:39:09 by submission. He got caught in a triangle and got hit with elbows and tapped out. But it was more rehydrate you up to a healthy level. To dehydrate yourself to the point of literally on death's door And it's one of the biggest dangers in the sport. It happened in our league. they're dying from heat stroke are they dying from exhaustion both yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And there was, you know, there was some maybe genetic issues going on,

2:42:09 work smarter not longer yeah efficiency over time well i have a thought on that too is that i mean i It's like one of his biggest strengths is his fucking relentless pace. Yeah. Now people realize what an issue that is. And, you know, probably as much attention as could possibly be to any type of head injury what do they do to try to help them recover?

2:44:52 Hyperbaric chambers? Nothing? in green bay really and i would say not in probably most places there's no there's There's not. does this give you pause? healing some of the gray matter that has been associated with traumatic brain injuries. But, But I think all of us realize the risks that were taken. Let's see. I've had three concussions, I believe. One, two, three. Yeah, I've had three concussions, I believe, one, two, three. Yeah, I've had three concussions where I've come

2:48:57 It didn't feel like I was, it felt like kind of a normal shot almost. I saw this article recently about Brett Favre where he's talking about how he's had somewhere around 1,000 concussions. What does it say here? Well, that's how it always was in sparring. I've said you get tackled your head hits the turf you see flashes of light or ringing in your ears

2:51:21 I'd like to think I got more than 18 years left in my life. and not really had any concussive issues. in college and then just a lot of you know issues around that nerve issues arthritic issues bursa inflammation and then in 2015 after that season i got cleaned up and i said it's time to They said I was anti-Midwesterner. especially when you consider the amount of abuse that your knees would take playing football.

2:54:15 It's kind of amazing how bad most food is for you. You talking about that Because everybody was like They develop all these fucking liver problems when they serve them that fake shit. glyphosate residue yeah and people are saying oh it's a tiny amount of parts per million and you know if you want to that's the thing about monocrop That's another one.

2:57:03 Well, it's just the worst of it is what's happening to people in development. there's a book called Countdown by Dr. Shanna Swan, the male taints shrink. And it's almost unavoidable at this point because I don't believe that these studies were released. Plant-based impossible burger. It said it was like a rat. Great. some vitamins and electrolytes.

3:00:39 It was great to hang out. We'll do this again
