Transcript

0:00 The Joe Rogan Experience. Yeah, the podcast. Right now. it's like thank you for getting me on the show thanks for doing it you made it a lot of fun the coolest years of my life. These people, they see wolves that turn into mist and disappear It's spun me around. don't like that middle place that's my middle place is yeah people don't like it there you know

3:20 I think that's the enemy. these footprints that indicates it's built like a gorilla's foot not like a human foot because human beings don't have and then you see this break and he demonstrates That's like this Zen Roshi I met when I went on this Ram Dass retreat. It's not that you don't know or do know. It's recognizing what is an actual mystery. You know what I'm saying?

6:13 they sure they're sure it is either one of those it's unacceptable because you you can't be sure you hope somebody notices why are you you know what are you doing what what is going on yeah And so then there's this idea that we're kind of like the human body itself is a hive, and then you think of the you when you're chilling at home with your family,

8:32 And it's because really what they're seeing is the other, one of the other dominant personalities When those, when those, and you see, or when people say that they're channeling or when who described it as like a mansion where all the servants are running amok. So it's a mansion where all the the self and that's what you become is the master of the house who's gone away.

10:18 Ah! remember the time you said that to me? healthy for them it's not healthy for anybody like people that can't let certain things i mean a fiction book called war war god yeah and he's really excited about it when he starts talking which is Gnosticism is this weird philosophy that believes that the God that everyone worships currently the planet by pretending to be a god and causing them to do insane things.

13:39 why people overwhelmingly throughout human history, there's never been a period of time where But if you look at the totality of the behavior of human beings and you factor in the time of utmost peace, the time of ultimate peace, it's a zero. They try to keep it to a little bit of shit talking Yeah. There is, in this book, it talks about, I can't remember the town, but there is an area

15:55 Plurality, that's a good word. them all the time and they're always humping and a lot of these guys have so many children that one of the And you've got a pal. There's whole communities dedicated to this polygamist lifestyle, And there was a huge lawsuit against him because he convinced all these people that he could find buried treasure. hey, look, I've got a magic rock

19:06 uh that here's a man who was look come on let's just admit it here's a man who's like just There's written records against Joseph Smith He really did find the lost work of Jesus. when we arrive, there was these we've got coffee in our hands yeah They're not even allowed to drink coffee. They just chomp that shit. I know a woman who criticizes pot on a regular,

21:52 Drugs are bad. to go to their jobs and then they take what are they called coffee breaks coffee breaks if you It's very popular. I'll try to think of a description of it. hasn't been for me where like a couple of days after effect with it. It's not a clean drug, at least it hasn't been for me, it alleviates a lot of your anxiety, Reality? Right. You know, the ruthlessness of the day-to-day grind can also give you anxiety.

25:24 and then on Friday again. And then I'm going to get a little break again. And during that break, I got a lot of shit to do, including over time. And then I'm going to do it again on Tuesday and then on Wednesday and then on Thursday and then on Friday again. that's one of the reasons why you should never if you can avoid it never have it never ends yeah if you have a job a regular job especially that's one

26:28 Yes. But, you know, it's like music tastes or taste in food or anything things are weird you know things are weird and we vary wildly but yeah the the uh what i want to mention the idea that i've been thinking about of uh um uh it's called straight forward. But we have a yourself just into the moment and what's happening there you wouldn't be you'd be 90 less afraid

28:43 You don't have the discipline to stay there fully you're Finding out what you like and don't like about your past behavior and incorporating it into the present. you were when you were a little kid and you used to It's so hard to do. you don't want to have a good time you feel fucking terrible yeah that month because it's that i've ever done that's resulted in disaster has always made me a million times better and

32:01 I guess it does relieve some of the pain of the thing when you realize that you're in a kiln to do a lot of things at once is because I like figuring things out. I like when things get better. And I also find that's one of the most difficult things to achieve if and when you have a job you your time where you're the most tired and most likely to sit in front of the TV and the most

33:59 No, you do it in your mind. If you have to interact with people and you have a job. do you think you could give something And some people have more focus than others. God, I hope the CAT scan doesn't mean I have cancer. Like ADD is real, but the guy who created ADHD said it was bullshit? Right, right, yeah. learning how to get through things. they get fucking bored.

37:40 Yeah, no shit. You can tune in with 100% of your being for hours. That's not an attention deficit disorder. That's what Nance and family are, everybody. But you can if you actually enjoy it. It kindles the fire of the story. taking jujitsu with eddie bravo man that wasn't my mind was everywhere and like i know if i just out for the wrestling team or something when you realize like what i love wrestling but to get

41:24 that you can put your mind People have been doing it for years. once you apply yourself to something. It's just there's other stuff, too, that's not on the surface. I was getting crushed. at 1 p.m i will be uh live streaming uh a match between me and Pendleton Ward, So when you're playing StarCraft, they will do commentary on your strategy. Duncan is drinking the Mountain Dew and eating the Doritos.

44:33 No, you can't eat fucking chips. like two hours from the airport and we got got into a StarCraft conversation. And the They don't give you anything back. become the motherfucker at StarCraft, how much... In fact, This is for somebody whose neurology hasn't been frazzled fun. But I do It doesn't do anything for you. think that it's a digital drug and i think that when you're when you're playing

48:06 buttons but our caloric we're not burning a lot of calories we're just kind of sitting in a in Well, you keep hearing about these people that abandon their babies because they've been playing a video game and they let their kids starve to death. way way way way more powerful and the question comes up is are we really designed to handle that or whatever the fuck you're doing.

49:45 I'd be evil at that shit. which is like when you attack haven't built up any defense then you can sometimes defeat your enemy within the first five minutes of and I thought it was funny. So it's like mid-game, end-game, and the beginning of the game. What was that? So look, what we have here. It appears, I can't see very distinctive. I like how they explode when you shoot at them and stuff. Go back to that. What was that?

51:36 They explode when you shoot at them. there are zombies that are actually in the game but i've never seen those zombies before well i So you literally would be an army of people. it's like that would be fucking wild it would have 150 people online representing be ripped but they're people are going to be using this is something that uh silva was talking about

54:07 But you're going to smack that fucking Rift on, man. I don't think Joe would like StarCraft. I think he would be more like like a battlefield 4 i disagree with battlefield this When you're looking at it above, I'm sure it's really cool, but it lacks that feeling like it's actually happening. That looks amazing. Did you ever play Quake, like a duel?

56:07 a little blaster when you spawn and then if someone kills you and they're all armored up and And then it's like, oh, well, fuck you, man. i think he's just really a really really smart guy i mean have you seen adventure time yeah it's I'll be right back. fighting pornography it's like fighter blog and fighter a week you know especially when you're single you know when you're single like you could easily

58:50 Like, it was only a few minutes. and get stimulated, Does that mean that just because you think it dehumanizes people That's what you're supposed to do when you have sex. And the other thing is, how about grooming? Yeah, that's true. of crabs living in the pubic hair of someone who's on the verge of shaving their her pussy and they've I think that could be a little off base.

1:01:36 i've never really just like shaved him completely bald and so i did and it's so much nicer what do Like, yeah, like I was trimming my pubes for you. You got to. Oh, fuck that. I got a problem, man. Do you get... I get those halfway up my thigh and they're stuck. You're a fat fuck. Have you heard of it yet? A block from you, right. And then if they like you back, it brings up a chat room.

1:04:54 I feel like it's like everything else. I just wish these fucking fundamentalist creeps those are the things that are detrimental to societies. And they'll bet their entire house on a fucking hand of cards. and don't hate and don't want to rape and kill, And they think that it can act as, you know, it can have some sort of an alleviating effect. But isn't extreme violence just as disturbing,

1:08:32 yet somehow people even bring those two together it's like talking about dragons versus butterflies You dirty. Can you suck it all the way down? on here that thing it's all the screaming yeah Yeah, that thing. That thing is so weird, and that is just a result, I think, of sexual repression. Everyone's got their own style. guys also want to hear the guy you know i think it's all the styles everyone's wildly everyone's

1:10:50 And as part of their understanding of things, decided that they were going to lock that pussy underneath a Bible. It's like Nancy Grace shit, man. Well, poor Nancy Grace. I vary. Did you guys see that Yoko Ono thing? How old is it? so she's just taking it to the next level and making it a joke. She's just so weird and I'm sure most of the people in that crowd were like

1:13:51 because she never did anything good before that. that, and you can see the look on Chuck Berry's face. whoever made it, they froze frame right when Chuck Berry had this crazy look in his eyes. Yeah. you know go go johnny whatever, she picks up the mic What did he do? No. He goes on stage and kids go, of shit, putting things in line, managing the attention, but it's almost impossible to understand him.

1:17:18 I'll take this. But I had a friend back in the day. like oh jesus here we go or they'll start sharing emails yes oh that's a big one that's a big one Or every time you call, they're on fucking speaker. It's just laying around. Hello? It's so creepy, man, when people try to control each other like that. You got to just know when someone really likes you.

1:19:44 She just decided that she had the right to do that right you don't have I don't know how you get it so that people can figure out how to not be that person, Well, it's not just that you don't trust something like that. he was living with his gay lover in Palm Springs. This guy, he was a deeply religious guy and just couldn't deal with his sexuality.

1:22:07 Like he left when I was eight. That was devastating to lose your father when you're eight. relationships if you start holding on to the idea that that shit's going to last forever, You have to appreciate the moments that are good. great way to bring it up okay if you don't feel loving towards someone if you don't feel loving towards someone, and you start acting like you're feeling it,

1:23:49 on the moment. It depends entirely There's a lot of variables when you're going to answer that question. You're a little hungover. as is humanly possible without compromising your own sanity without you know getting to the point But other than that, like if you go into work hungover, that's on you, bitch. All right. Be nice to everybody. And you as a human being, you should

1:25:57 like trying to attempt to achieve balance, could be nice you mean you can sometimes get upset you know sometimes you know just like oh look i'm Like, if you come to me and you're like, dude, I'm sorry. I just want to sit. Just tell me what's wrong, dude. And it's a real problem. And then yet we love each other. and yet we're constantly around each other.

1:28:16 He goes, when was the last time you went? And that's because we're men, and we understand men. And they're LOLing and they're saying stupid shit to each other that they like to hear. They have a vagina. And as soon as you don't do that, you're fucked. So when someone's going through your fucking emails and checking your text messages hitting the gas and one day eventually you're going to hit something. Right. It's not going to work. Right. Yeah, it's true.

1:29:58 Are you not paying attention? And then it doesn't help that if you tune into The View and they're all going, oh, no, girl, he needs to give you his phone. There was an argument that was on the Fight Porn website. I guess I told her to meet me there or something. Or younger than me It's 9.30 Did you... Ugh. But it's like, come on. Guillermo del Toro.

1:33:25 I would go see that movie that's coming out this Friday about the new... Oh, I heard about this. Yeah, it didn't, for whatever reason, I didn't really, I don't know, I didn't enjoy that one as much. about all these people that live in Siberia and they're Yeah, he's a bad motherfucker. An orca killed one of them. Okay, you know what I want from you?

1:35:13 It's so fun. They call them non-human people. In India, that's what they've started calling them, is too, I bet. Yeah. They kill dolphins, though. They call them non-human people. And it's like they're really into watching it. both two of them are just sort of sitting there watching one of them seems to be complex and so different from ours that we don't understand it

1:36:50 It's really kind of interesting. like they have more of a unified consciousness than human beings do they're more of one thing But what's really freaky is they're rude as shit to each other. Is this dolphin talk? Will you play that, Brian? Pull it up. Are those dirty glasses or clean glasses? Yeah, bring those bitches over. It's evil and it's unnecessary,

1:39:45 And they're sh in their pants. I think this is rape culture. That's why they had a woman do it. And I think ducks deserve to rape. neck yeah no i like the symphonies it's like it's funny they call it a culture i'll have a tiny bit Oh, watch out. Somebody gave us that whiskey a while ago. That was so much fun, man. Comic-Con. a mask, the Leeds guy, That's dope.

1:42:34 It seems like something you have to do. like it a lot there's a lot of great spots i forget what the pandora i want to say i did the But now it's like a genuine comedy community down there. Did you go to Mexico? you just get in the taxi, On my show, I was interviewing a disease specialist. So you just have Yeah. No. And you turn into mush. No, we were just having fun talking.

1:46:01 and then we went from there with no sleep got some coffee and went to meet this disease specialist at this creepy fucking lab where they keep you know rabies this is a this lab is a I mean, they really have it locked down. But it's just, oh, it's so crazy. I was thinking about it, and I was thinking of the outrage and the hubris and all that, that creeped me out the most doing this show

1:48:41 It's not a matter of if but when. There's E. coli and all this different flora that lives on your skin. It creates healthy bacteria troops that fight off aggressively, fight off incoming troops. No shit. and you're worried about MRSA, called defense soap You shouldn't be fucking with antibacterial soap unless you have a real, you know, doctor Putting it on your hands is not that bad.

1:51:08 Washing your hands just with soap and water can fix most of that. antibacterial soap you got to figure out how to like bring your body back to health because this I'm me. You know, and this school of cells, there's a lot of shit going on there. with each other. Maybe they figure out a way around that, Duncan and I and Ari we're not, I don't think so.

1:54:04 They're going to be sacrificing virgins. You're going to have to make a decision, man. And it's going to be like a Star Trek thing. You're going to be in the woods. You're going to find some people. They're going to be sacrificing virgins. There's no dongles in Starcraft. Under the comedy horse. I haven't been on stage in two months. Says what? Wow.

1:55:15 And then I remember getting back on stage. willing to pay that price you're still performing see that's one of the things that i found about uh Yes, it's definitely a skill that you develop, and you get better at it. life, you know, but it's like, sometimes you do have to take a break. I had to take a break. I, gave me some details about the case that I didn't know yeah and it was I'll spare everyone the

1:57:31 It just wasn't enough. no matter what, Recognize what you're doing. And I think that a life injury, like, you know, losing a loved one, that's a life injury. their folks die like you keep doing stand-up i just don't know how you do that it's like And a fucking bird flew into the window Hey thanks for putting me on your show Joe Thanks to LegalZoom God damn, I say these same things so often.
