0:00 The Joe Rogan Experience. I'll just open up with a Chappelle story maybe just be Rick James, not see yourself as Rick James. Yeah, I watch there's a lot of fake tweets. There's a video of a compilation of norm He did not care. Yeah, it's 11 minutes of norm just like and then this stare after the punchline as it's either working or not seen it I had a sketch that I wanted just I wrote so that so the week

4:00 And we wrote and then it was like I did one it was it was like it was a good idea It's really appreciated, but the mainstream does not know how good those sketches are he does scared and everyone's ideologically captured and there's certain things you can't joke around about And it's like, bitch, you're not fine no more. Sketch shows how do you it's all the real has to be what it always was the format is just it's so

6:57 They really said like we don't understand it's funny, right? Of course. And then I showed it and it crushed. Of course. I was attached to it and I was also very, And it's like, no, let the jumper do it, and if it doesn't work, then you guys can metal. that you get like 60%, 70% of what you could have had. They were so good. You just had to go just shut the fuck up and leave them alone

9:25 Yeah, whereas the man show was more like, ah! that they have to get out of the way. You have 44 minutes with commercials. in switching to streaming, right? have managed to make really good shows and put put them on streaming and they can still do that What the message, is it family hour? What do you think it's about? It's about Japan. It's like what are you talking about?

11:58 that are all just working a DEI angle, Culturally so they go like we have to service that priority or I'm gonna get in some kind of trouble a hundred percent And they don't know they don't they they're just blowing in the wind and they're so expendable Yeah, that's the thing. I was want to say it's like my standards are higher than yours They want to jizz in the soup every chance they can.

14:21 Mean podcast YouTube etc. It's like they're on there. It's hard not to kind of defeated them. I mean podcast, YouTube, etc. It's like they're on there. It's hard They they love the fact that it's available anytime you want it. They love the fact The end of every episode has to be a cliffhanger. Oh really that's what I've heard so I'm kinda talking out of my ass a little bit,

16:27 it's an hour 20 I it's never better longer to me and I Yeah, but I don't feel like I'm selling myself out or like I'm right the integrity of my act At home they can watch everything ever recorded. Heat. Yep, that's right. It's all on the Godfather apocalypse now? Yep? He yeah, it's all right doing what I do I do it because I like doing it this way and in the beginning

18:45 Well I'm not even, you know it worked, Yeah. No, none of your business none of my business. Yeah, I don't care. I don't pay attention immune stack that he uses But those four, then that's the ones they sell. There's a lot of confusion, but I think ultimately there's more information and that's always better and there's more freedom of communication

21:43 that are poison, and what things are edible. You know, like you have to learn to figure it out, just like people had to learn what things to eat that are poison and what things are edible. Learn that. I'm not very, so I feel like you're paranoid, And I think, I was thinking I'm so glad I don't, I just, this is better than the way I grew up. And that's one thing to take into consideration,

24:08 it's the country's fault for having them in the first place. and I think it's natural to have that I think it's an unavoidable evil. We had Renee DeResta on once who studied this and one of the things that she studied about Well, I'll see something that's contentious something that's socially at least at the time or trolls. Mm-hmm. Yeah, and You can't, it can't be done.

27:27 I'm saying like, who are even? also Which is so as long as the AI is not biased But the thing is like that's rudimentary AI and it's gonna be very weird very quickly. It's it's gonna be a wild us. It's gonna be a wild ride. you're not gonna be able to let Do you think AI will prevent that? and it's also gonna break down who the people are My feeling on that is that people in some ways are informed

31:13 Right. You know, there's a little bit of that going on too Long as they live fucking insane yeah You know, do you just see what's whatever? who actually understands the law to withhold the Constitution, to uphold it, and to make Bizarre land of cult-like thinking. Not unimportant, but they're just not the most important. Well, it's also the thing is if you oppose

35:27 where it's just running a bunch of, It's like, no no that's an important issue because you're gonna blow this for all of us Well each party becomes captured by the most extreme versions of it You know like they they they use How you gonna do that? And B, you're gonna have to start cooking dinner Yeah, but if you look up like look up genital mutilation. Yeah, it's really grim

38:41 I remember looking up abortion laws worldwide I just saw Neil Brannon do a sort of anti-abortion joke, It's all a bit like, you're all guessing. I believe in abortion to the fifth trimester. Oh, I know, know fuck 80 years old Having a partner and they just don't want to exist in this weird state where they're texting people and calling people who, like, plays the role

41:33 that this guy needs for a small amount of time, you just have to need to stand in Robert De Niro's eyeline Don't don't fuck with them. Don't insult them Fucking humiliation you can mitigate some of that And are your eyes open? He got Lasix on his eyes, and then a couple years later, You have a halo around lights and shit. Oh, yeah, I have a friend who can't drive at night

45:00 would make me feel so sorry for myself mm If I went for surgery and was worse off. Yeah, I wound up getting stem cells in my back. I had Was it did you have to go far? Because this was all, you know, we're're talking about I think my injury was like 2015 Injuring it while you're healing and the problem is it starts feeling better and then you start pushing then you re aggravate the injury

47:25 For like a couple of months like that's all you could do and for a guy like him Because if more people do it they start telling more people do it people can avoid surgeries and they're gonna be out of a job like low income kids, Well, if there's money in painting people's kids the amount of fluoride And for what purpose? The amount of fluoride that makes it toxic is like just a huge amount

50:34 Yeah, I don't know. Dental cavities are distressing sensation that if left untreated can result in terrifying pain, So that doesn't really prevent you from getting cavities, So it seems like they're doing it on cavities, Yeah, I try to avoid fluoride wherever possible. I just you live with I mean, but the first half of your life was all There's no reason for it and it seems like there's a lot of money tied into fluoride

53:27 About what? Then the leader goes crazy. I'm on it It's only episode dude, but it really doesn't know like the the the thing of like every cult at some point Oh I have a thing in my in my new Netflix about where I'm talking about you Couldn't do it and comedians have opinions and like Carlin was moral sometimes Well that's the thing, is people are mad, it's like on here, people get mad at you for

56:45 I think that it's been a detriment Like they did with your joke about abortion like oh, right. He's just a grifter. It's a pro abortion grifter You're fucked. that is a whitewater rafting trip that is fucking filled with rocks yeah the venues are getting bigger. Do you go like, let me really try to be? Yeah. et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, No, no, yeah, but I'm saying-

59:49 But that's one of those ones where I can just say that. You look thin and healthy. Yeah, like they're kind of stuck with vegetable. Right. I guess what you're saying is the acknowledgement that shit's complicated and there's no one right or wrong That's crazy. You think it's like 60 that's great Yeah, you're fucked and then there's also that loneliness thing. Oh, yeah, that's a big one man

1:03:19 FDA drugs that get pulled allowed to see the actual data they see the analysis of the data by the and they're just gonna be corrupt. I've learned you can test for anything. they literally said- The Sudafed one, the one that was like a month and a half So my kids literally stuffed up this very second. I'm a parent. Okay, good. This is what happens, Joe. This is what happens. Yeah

Is it enough like how many no yet? when you were roommates, you guys, or you dated his roommate? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I

1:12:46 He was like, what are you doing? Yeah. And the problem is I can discuss things Should I be more concerned about being a news outlet these Feeding me bullshit once they get on the show. Yeah, definitely and who still think they're fine. Mm-hmm, you know and I I encountered that when they were saying that I was taking horse medication Yeah, and they're just hammering credibility

1:17:02 It in 20 years ago. This would have been like open and shut. things it's so everything's complicated. It's so complicated kids into taking this contrarian stance against the popular Imagine living either in Israel or Palestine and trying to find a solution to that good Oh my God, what are you doing? Jesus Christ. less so in that which we can talk about a little bit, but but

1:20:26 Like in the 1960s during the Vietnam War, Yeah. Over the course of, real quickly. Yeah. Large corporate media. I know that's the funny thing is now it's like we're getting you don't need to leak Abu grave on what the factors are and what all these different Anywhere. Anywhere. And then how was mass immigration? You weren't being given housing and shelter and much to the demise of the people that are poor

1:23:47 Look it up. I've read it like not long ago Jewish people Irish people and blind people became comedians Right. I'm gonna send this to you Jamie and they're inept. But yeah, the anxiety thing, that's curious to me. Usually when I'm writing, when I'm high, I get real anxiety night. I get it at night, because usually that's when I'm high. There was a day. Usually when I'm writing, when I'm high.

1:26:39 What happens if everything goes totally sideways? And there's never been one like this and this one is only 300 years old Yeah, which is a blip. Yeah, nothing. Yes relative to to and it really and it does It really is. The car. But they're there yet. It's funny a few guys. There's no Ricky Gervais and yeah I really do. This is the golden age of comedy.

1:29:15 Yeah. Yeah, do you worry about like the your your your shit hits a fan plan cuz my plan is hey and you lock them up and you know how to use them. Well, what happens if something like that happens here and you're saying oh, yeah Right, but here's the thing, and you're gonna indoctrinate them into the military and they'll be willing to do things that

1:32:03 I've heard they've doing it to other Russian. They're just doing they're not these are not like we might not have even fought off the Nazis. Let me lead us and he's a warrior which is really scary when you got a guy who's a KGB guy that becomes Yeah. I mean, the idea that we're innocent and that we don't have CIA assassins that go and whack dissidents. Okay

1:34:21 I'm of the mind that Nato's have never invaded anyone so it's kind of like if they're I get that they're trying to get like the point you made about trying to get people to move to Austin Like hey, man, we're trying to have a world where people can't do that anymore I know, I know, but the problem is, and America, the the game was And now everything's transparent.

1:37:00 this famous military man who upon retiring reflected upon his career and corruption and I know but that's they've they but they could clip the fuck out of you Limitless skepticism also. I don't trust anything. They're young they just got out of college. They know debt after the Celtics dynasty, and also Confidence in the government is so low Yes, and then, or you go, it's chaos.

1:40:45 Don't it's funny to hear you say that you get We're fucked. Yeah, and and even and to the George Floyd point Need them. I heard they wasn't lethal. also being compressed, someone's pressing down on your body, Well, it's 100% not great police procedure. constriction it wasn't because of And then you go, yes, but he did have fentanyl. Let's say that was awful police work

1:44:28 But sometimes they don't you know, there's like you've read that where it's like sometimes they just go like fuck it Right. The National Guard comes in, shoots protesters, fuck it, I don't know what happened. That's a big one. to sort of That was like people it was elevating people's heart like that was one of of the main side effects, right? And they acted like it wasn't much.

1:47:31 And then they heard this thing of like, it's not perfect. Yeah, yeah, and and the way they studied it and the way they tested it is so fucking corrupt but it's also like the VAERS system, I mean the the reporting of It's like I well I happen to know who gives a shit from one to get one person I mean, I'll just show you what I'm finding. So what you had in a system?

1:50:17 He had caffeine. I was losing oh not even cocaine cotinine Methamphetamine, 19 nanograms per milliliter. And you're like, no, like the- You're not trying to make the guy look bad or whatever. No evidence drug overdose was the main cause of death for George Floyd, so this is from what year 2022 Okay, but this is when they're like one Twitter user, specifically fentanyl or methamphetamine,

1:53:13 Value in both, you know what I mean? And like I don't know how to I don't know how to litigate it I mean, if you're looking for a new thing to be honest. Honestly, and I remember reading a headline saying that he had a lethal dose right that's all in the system and that people are arguing that everyone wants to shoot them. It's like we have to worry about hecklers

1:55:44 and we do it to other countries Like how do you what do you do just let these people develop nuclear arms and take over countries and no you gotta you gotta do things to stop on my mental health. It's just a magnet, basically. And then the DMT broke me and put me back together. Was I was experiencing too much of the universe. the mountain ranges and shit I

1:59:18 way out it was it was I told somebody I was aiming for God and I missed my stop experience of like, I was before the Big Bang and my personality sort of kind of came back there's a thing which, people have DMT reactivations. It was harrowing so you saw it it wasn't like a pure split screen but it I was so disoriented. I had the thought like am I in God's imagination?

2:02:31 Okay, this is amazing, but there's a part they showed maybe the Spanish Civil War. He went there. I think it's Spanish Civil War Cause I'm in that thing where my spirit can come back. Sanity. More generous. I would I'm funnier on stage. I get 15% it's easier to deal with me, everything's improved. I've been able to, I believe I've been able to change my, I don't want to say spirit, but I think,

2:05:22 I appreciate it and I always get so much from it like it's, you know, there are moments It's Pandora's box, man, because there's a lot of people, We're like I'm honor. Am I in God's am I who am what a what is this? And I was able to just forgive all of my grudges. Love hormones, love, kindness chemicals, generosity chemicals. what I consider a personality

2:08:50 First in like I now write like don't believe your chemicals the facts of my life. that I have all these great things. on chemicals. hey, I'm a vessel for a spirit and da-da-da-da. Don't you think it's also, we have all, human beings develop patterns of thinking and these or did for a long time, wake up and like start the record through the way truer lens

2:12:09 spin the wheel. Doing it in your in your whatever the basement or garage wherever we used to do the podcast. And then it just becomes this? Like I'm so lucky. But a diary is feminine for so many years, I mean, I guess I didn't know you well But you were always, you had like this tension. And I always felt like I had to know you well, but you were always nice to me. We're always cool Say but you were always you had like this tension

2:15:13 They go. Well, I'm in the world It worked out great it did but it's hard to see that when you're in the most especially when you're caught up in your own thoughts Are you doing a checklist? The chemical stuff ketamine didn't help the first time it I did it two months ago, and it was pretty great Yeah, well that you know really helps. Yeah, I've had a lot of friends that were depressed and their career started doing better and this

2:18:06 And more talented than us. And it doesn't work. Do you know what I mean? as a comedian. We're just lucky in so many ways. It's like, but you have different circumstances, you have different hormones, really is like, Oprah-fied, hallmark-fied. But we're sort of trained to make it like, It also, yes, it is true, but like I said, there's nothing I can do to compensate for this,

2:21:41 a guy that was like deep dark Even though it doesn't feel like it while it's happening every time someone's in the middle of some shit It's not easy it's you gotta fuckin' slow down. Effortless but that's part of life and you can't get hung up on the than it's a physical thing. I know how to avoid those but I know how to avoid those just because that that's the path that I've carved in my head

2:25:27 You're drenched with sweat you look over the timer five more seconds to rest before the bell goes off They don't understand like your parents are on welfare, and you know that you're eating from food stamps You'd be faking it though. Just think it's important that and I'm even fortunate to have added access to a lot of things. I've tried a lot of stuff and and I'm and I'm and I'm even fortunate to have added access

2:27:53 on the stuff that is, what's important to me. And it's also the thing of like I was going in though. I know you're doing a nice wrap-up and you'll have to restart it Elon posted something today about Thank you. No, no Brennan when you flying out number. It's number. It was number.
