Joe Rogan Experience #1098 - Eddie Bravo

1. 0:00 – 2:53

   Headphones debate and livestream tech hiccups

   1. EBEddie Bravo0:00

      (sighs)

   2. JRJoe Rogan0:06

      No headphones?

   3. EBEddie Bravo0:07

      I'd rather not have headphones.

   4. JRJoe Rogan0:08

      You're getting crazy. I'll have the- I'll have the two.

   5. EBEddie Bravo0:09

      No, because I, I learned that, I learned that hearing my own voice in my head makes, makes me focus on it. And I don't wanna focus on the sound of my voice.

   6. JRJoe Rogan0:18

      Oh.

   7. EBEddie Bravo0:18

      I wanna focus on the thoughts.

   8. JRJoe Rogan0:19

      Right, right, right, right. Yeah.

   9. EBEddie Bravo0:19

      I'm focusing on, "Ooh." Just, it's like blowing out in my head and all this shit's going on.

   10. JRJoe Rogan0:23

       That's smart. Tell me when.

   11. NANarrator0:26

       What's up?

   12. JRJoe Rogan0:27

       What's up?

   13. NANarrator0:27

       Yeah.

   14. JRJoe Rogan0:27

       Oh. (laughs)

   15. EBEddie Bravo0:29

       (laughs)

   16. JRJoe Rogan0:29

       We were talking about whether or not you should have headphones on or not have headphones on. The... Are we up?

   17. NANarrator0:34

       No.

   18. JRJoe Rogan0:36

       No? If you're hearing the audio recording this, what's happening is we switched to a new TriCaster. We were having problems with our old one. The TriCaster is the machine that allows Jamie to switch cameras and put everything up on the internet and hopefully include Skype so we could get some people from, like-

   19. NANarrator0:53

       It's getting signal, but there's no video showing.

   20. JRJoe Rogan0:55

       Hmm. Are we gonna restart?

   21. NANarrator0:58

       I don't know. I'm trying to make sure that that's actually true. Sorry.

   22. JRJoe Rogan1:01

       That's okay. Uh, we might have to restart, folks. We're trying live while we're going live with some new shit, but I want, I want people on YouTube-

   23. NANarrator1:10

       I think it's the TriCaster. We were having problems with our old one. And it's-

   24. JRJoe Rogan1:11

       Is it?

   25. NANarrator1:11

       ... audio works.

   26. JRJoe Rogan1:12

       Audio, but no video.

   27. NANarrator1:13

       I don't know why. I'll figure that out in a second.

   28. JRJoe Rogan1:15

       Ladies and gentlemen, if you are just staring at a blank screen, would you have to shut this show down-

   29. NANarrator1:20

       I shouldn't.

   30. JRJoe Rogan1:20

       ... to get the video back up?
2. 2:53 – 5:36

   How comedians refine material: recording, rewriting, and “tight” bits

   1. EBEddie Bravo2:53

      You know how hard it is to listen to my standup? That's-

   2. JRJoe Rogan2:55

      It's hard.

   3. EBEddie Bravo2:55

      ... very hard.

   4. JRJoe Rogan2:56

      For everybody.

   5. EBEddie Bravo2:57

      It's, it's, ugh, it's death. It kills me, but I-

   6. JRJoe Rogan2:59

      Mm-hmm.

   7. EBEddie Bravo2:59

      But I always hear your voice, "You gotta listen to your shit. You gotta go back and edit. You gotta edit your shit." And I'm like, "I don't wanna listen to myself." I just, I, I wanna put every, uh, every time I go up on stage behind me. I don't wanna go back, but I know that's not the right thing to do.

   8. NANarrator3:13

      (laughs)

   9. JRJoe Rogan3:13

      You, you get a, you take a lot of the time out of the development of a joke process if you just listen to-

   10. EBEddie Bravo3:19

       Yeah.

   11. JRJoe Rogan3:20

       ... the previous versions of it.

   12. EBEddie Bravo3:21

       Yeah.

   13. JRJoe Rogan3:21

       'Cause like I have this new bit that I'm doing right now. Um, and I have like three different versions of it. And it's, it's not, right now it's very shaky. It's very shaky. It goes one way, it goes the other way. Sometimes it gets big laughs, sometimes it's just, it's just clunky and I've gotta figure out which one's the right formula. So the only way to do that really is to listen to how I did it right and then play it back and then write it out. I'll listen to how I said it, and then I'll write it out. And then I'll think about, like, what, what I would be thinking if I was sitting there listening to this or someone was saying this. You know, would I anticipate what they're saying, what the punchlines are gonna be beforehand? 'Cause if you do, that takes a lot out of it, you know? It's gotta find-

   14. EBEddie Bravo4:00

       Yeah.

   15. JRJoe Rogan4:00

       ... a way to sneak it in. You gotta find a way to make it where it really relates. Recording is very-

   16. EBEddie Bravo4:05

       Do you ever, do you ever have an, uh, an old bit that you, you f- like an old one from like 10, 15 years ago that you think like, "Damn, I should have added that." You know, you're-

   17. JRJoe Rogan4:14

       Yeah.

   18. EBEddie Bravo4:14

       ... adding shit to it today?

   19. JRJoe Rogan4:15

       Oh yeah, man. If you kept going, that's like the argument, like Ari had a good point about that. He was like, "If you, uh, just keep adding to your bits and making them better, and that's why you don't wanna release a special, you could have used that same creativity to come up with new bits instead of doing the same old bits for 10 years."

   20. EBEddie Bravo4:33

       Yeah.

   21. JRJoe Rogan4:33

       You could have used that, you know, 'cause there's some guys that think that. Like if you got those old, old, old bits, they're samurai swords, man. They've just been hammered down-

   22. EBEddie Bravo4:42

       Yeah.

   23. JRJoe Rogan4:42

       ... and polished tight.

   24. EBEddie Bravo4:43

       Mastered them. Yeah. (laughs)

   25. JRJoe Rogan4:44

       Oof. There's certain bits, they have this rhythm to them. You're like, "Jesus Christ." Like, I remember, um, I did, uh, I did a special once, and I ran... I didn't have like hardly any new material and so this is like 2009-ish or something like that. So I did some of my old, old shit from like 1999.

   26. EBEddie Bravo5:04

       Tiger bit?

   27. JRJoe Rogan5:05

       No, no, no. It was, uh, some other stuff. Well, I didn't, I didn't do that bit. When I retired that bit, I retired that bit. Oh, yeah, that-

   28. EBEddie Bravo5:11

       You gotta bring that... You can always bring that back.

   29. JRJoe Rogan5:12

       I can't. (laughs)

   30. EBEddie Bravo5:12

       You can always bring that back.
3. 5:36 – 9:20

   Mastery as muscle memory: jiu-jitsu, tying shoes, and learning curves

   1. EBEddie Bravo5:36

      It's like jujitsu.

   2. JRJoe Rogan5:37

      ... getting used... Yep, yep.

   3. EBEddie Bravo5:38

      Yeah.

   4. JRJoe Rogan5:38

      You learn how, that path. (imitates whirring)

   5. EBEddie Bravo5:40

      Yeah. Your go-tos. You got...

   6. JRJoe Rogan5:41

      Yeah.

   7. EBEddie Bravo5:42

      ... like a fucking ninja. It's unconscious.

   8. JRJoe Rogan5:44

      Yeah. Yeah.

   9. EBEddie Bravo5:45

      Yeah.

   10. JRJoe Rogan5:45

       I love h- your description of it. You talked about tying your shoes. It's like, you know how when you tie your shoes, you don't think, "This loop's going in here and this is going in here, and then I'm gonna bring it here, then I'm gonna..." You just do it like that. Swoosh.

   11. EBEddie Bravo5:56

       Yeah. You, yep, you wouldn't even be able to... Y- you couldn't even teach it to someone over the phone.

   12. JRJoe Rogan6:01

       I couldn't explain it.

   13. EBEddie Bravo6:01

       It's like, "Teach me over the phone." You'd be like, "I gotta do it a few times first and figure out what the hell I'm doing, 'cause I don't even know what I'm doing."

   14. JRJoe Rogan6:05

       I have no idea what I'm doing-

   15. EBEddie Bravo6:07

       Yeah, yeah.

   16. JRJoe Rogan6:07

       ... when I tie my shoes and I do it every day.

   17. EBEddie Bravo6:08

       Yeah. My son, when, when he learned to tie his shoes, like, maybe s- six months ago, it was... He never wanted to. He's like, he wants to do everything. He wants to decide where we eat every day, but he doesn't wanna tie his own shoelaces. So, um, we finally made him. He's, you know... And he was hav- he was struggling with it and I used that as an opportunity to, to show him how, uh, you can master anything, anything that you're having trouble with. Go, "Look, right now, you're having trouble with it. You could do it, he could do it." But he, he, he struggles. I said, "One day, you're gonna do it like Daddy. Look how Daddy does it. I'm not even looking at my shoes. Look." And I do it and I go, "Boom." And he's like... (gasps) I go, "Look at that. Isn't that crazy?"

   18. JRJoe Rogan6:48

       (laughs)

   19. EBEddie Bravo6:48

       "Isn't that crazy? I'll do it again. Look, my other shoe." And I do it and he's like, "Whoa, how did you do that, Daddy? That's like magic."

   20. JRJoe Rogan6:54

       (laughs)

   21. EBEddie Bravo6:55

       And I go, I go, "You can do it too. Watch, one day, you're gonna do it and you're not even gonna look." So, like, the next day, he's trying not to look. He's like, "Daddy, I'm not looking." Look. One of these and he's like... (laughs)

   22. JRJoe Rogan7:07

       (laughs)

   23. EBEddie Bravo7:08

       He's struggling, but now he's got it.

   24. JRJoe Rogan7:09

       Yeah.

   25. EBEddie Bravo7:10

       So that re- that, then now I could use that, that whole story that he won't forget and go, "Remember the, remember when you, you had trouble tying your shoes?"

   26. JRJoe Rogan7:17

       Yeah.

   27. EBEddie Bravo7:17

       "And remember how good you got? Look how you are now." This is the same thing.

   28. JRJoe Rogan7:21

       Yeah.

   29. EBEddie Bravo7:21

       Whether it's gymnastics or breakdancing or jujitsu-

   30. JRJoe Rogan7:24

       Uh-huh.
4. 9:20 – 18:15

   Comedy tastes, comedy booms, and why The Comedy Store came back

   1. JRJoe Rogan9:20

      Yeah. That, well, pe- people that love standup comedy, you definitely, you like, get into, like, certain rhythms. But then you get... It's like everything else, right? Like, you, you like one level of comedy, like one kind of comedy, but then you see a bunch of comedians and then the original stuff that you liked, you think sucks.

   2. EBEddie Bravo9:37

      Oh, yeah.

   3. JRJoe Rogan9:37

      Like-

   4. EBEddie Bravo9:37

      I used to think Comic View was the funniest shit.

   5. JRJoe Rogan9:40

      Yes. (laughs)

   6. EBEddie Bravo9:40

      I was obsessed with Co- uh, my, my, my whole life was all about music, but my s- my two side things were fighting... I loved boxing ever since I was a kid. I was a huge, gigantic boxing fan, then I got into the UFC. But, uh, oh, and then comedy. It was a... All I taped, all I taped at home on my VCR was comedy specials and Tuesday night fights, any kinda boxing.

   7. JRJoe Rogan10:04

      Dude, I'm-

   8. EBEddie Bravo10:04

      And it was just comedy-

   9. JRJoe Rogan10:05

      ... in the same boat.

   10. EBEddie Bravo10:06

       ... and fights. Comedy and fights were my hobby, and music was the goal. That, that was my life. I taped com- Anytime Comic View was on, that sh- I have tapes and tapes.

   11. JRJoe Rogan10:14

       Which one's Comic View?

   12. EBEddie Bravo10:15

       It was all Black.

   13. JRJoe Rogan10:17

       Is that BET?

   14. EBEddie Bravo10:17

       Yes, yes.

   15. JRJoe Rogan10:19

       Is that, is that the one that D. L. Hughley used to host? Yeah. Okay.

   16. EBEddie Bravo10:22

       And, and I... You know, uh, you know, Live at the Apollo.

   17. JRJoe Rogan10:25

       Mm-hmm. Yeah.

   18. EBEddie Bravo10:26

       Uh, the Def Comedy Jams.

   19. JRJoe Rogan10:27

       Oh, yeah.

   20. EBEddie Bravo10:28

       I was the-

   21. JRJoe Rogan10:29

       Yeah, I have tapes, all those.

   22. EBEddie Bravo10:29

       ... biggest fan of Black comedy.

   23. JRJoe Rogan10:31

       Yeah.

   24. EBEddie Bravo10:31

       The biggest fan. I mean-

   25. JRJoe Rogan10:32

       (laughs)

   26. EBEddie Bravo10:32

       ... you know, right away. You know, r- and then you look back at, like, some of those, those standups. After hanging out with you, though, it all, I started going, "Oh, shit. Okay, that's low level."

   27. JRJoe Rogan10:41

       (laughs)

   28. EBEddie Bravo10:41

       "The, a lot of those guys are low level." Yeah.

   29. JRJoe Rogan10:43

       Well, it's just, there's, there's premises that just get... You know, there, there's, there's guys, like, out there, like Bill Burr or-

   30. EBEddie Bravo10:51

       (sighs)
5. 18:15 – 23:59

   Music fandom, boxing tribalism, and comedy identity politics

   1. EBEddie Bravo18:15

      Comedy Store's like, um, it's like Guns N' Roses, man. Big in the fucking '80s.

   2. JRJoe Rogan18:23

      (laughs)

   3. EBEddie Bravo18:23

      Disappeared for 20 fucking year, 25 years, and now Guns N' Roses not only made a comeback, but they're bigger than ever.

   4. JRJoe Rogan18:31

      Yeah.

   5. EBEddie Bravo18:31

      They're bigger than ever. Guns N' Roses is unbelievable. Everywhere they play, they're just selling out and it's inc- it's in- I saw them in Mexico City and got completely blown away. I was like-

   6. JRJoe Rogan18:41

      You saw them in Mexico City? Were you there after seminar?

   7. EBEddie Bravo18:42

      I was there for-

   8. JRJoe Rogan18:45

      Combat jiu-jitsu?

   9. EBEddie Bravo18:45

      ... Tony's fight.

   10. JRJoe Rogan18:46

       Oh.

   11. EBEddie Bravo18:47

       Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

   12. JRJoe Rogan18:48

       No kidding.

   13. EBEddie Bravo18:48

       That brings us to Tony. (laughs)

   14. JRJoe Rogan18:49

       Wow, that's crazy you saw... Yeah, that brings us to Tony.

   15. EBEddie Bravo18:51

       Yeah. Oh, it was incredible.

   16. JRJoe Rogan18:52

       Yeah.

   17. EBEddie Bravo18:52

       And I was never a giant Guns N' Roses fan. I respected them, I liked their songs and shit, but, you know, as a kid, once one of your friends claims them as their favorite, now they can't be your favorite, so it's like-

   18. JRJoe Rogan19:04

       (laughs)

   19. EBEddie Bravo19:04

       ... some stupid shit. It's some stupid shit. Like my friend, Matt, he, he claimed Guns N' Roses, and I'm like, "Okay." 'Cause we wouldn't... If, if he bought a Guns N' Roses record, I would just tape it. I wouldn't buy it too.

   20. JRJoe Rogan19:15

       Right.

   21. EBEddie Bravo19:15

       So whoever actually owned the, the master, you know what I mean, that was their band, you know what I mean?

   22. JRJoe Rogan19:20

       (laughs)

   23. EBEddie Bravo19:20

       Fuck you, that's my band. It's like a sport. It really is.

   24. JRJoe Rogan19:22

       Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right.

   25. EBEddie Bravo19:23

       You have, but you have a bunch of teams at yours. My band was KISS, 'cause, uh, e- even when everyone made fun of them, I'm the only one who admitted they still liked them, for a while. They-

   26. JRJoe Rogan19:31

       Did you get like that with boxers too?

   27. EBEddie Bravo19:34

       (sighs) N- no, with... Boxing was different. It was, uh, b- boxing i- is all racist. It's completely racist and it's okay. It, boxing's-

   28. JRJoe Rogan19:42

       It's racist?

   29. EBEddie Bravo19:42

       ... the only sport... It's the only sport where you could be racist.

   30. JRJoe Rogan19:44

       My guy was, uh, a Black guy.
6. 23:59 – 27:01

   Trump, Roseanne, and sex-trafficking: credit vs. criticism

   1. JRJoe Rogan23:59

      This is, uh, he's, he's... Listen, he's doing what everybody wants. He's making billions these fucking porn stars.

   2. EBEddie Bravo24:03

      (laughs)

   3. JRJoe Rogan24:03

      And you're mad at him?

   4. EBEddie Bravo24:05

      (laughs)

   5. JRJoe Rogan24:05

      This is the fucking American dream.

   6. EBEddie Bravo24:08

      (laughs)

   7. GUGuest24:08

      I mean, who looks like... For real though, who looks like him and fucks like he does? I, I'm a little bit more impressed with Donald after all these scandals. It backfired.

   8. EBEddie Bravo24:16

      Yeah. Hey, it's...

   9. GUGuest24:16

      You guys are trying to go Clinton on him.

   10. EBEddie Bravo24:17

       Hey, he's not, he's not-

   11. GUGuest24:17

       You can't go Clinton on this guy.

   12. EBEddie Bravo24:18

       ... he's not trying to fuck kids. So that's...

   13. GUGuest24:20

       Yeah.

   14. EBEddie Bravo24:20

       Hey, you know?

   15. GUGuest24:21

       Well, here's the thing about it, like, Roseanne Barr, they were saying that Roseanne Barr was, uh, was talking about some conspiracy theories that have been disproven. This was something... 'cause she was talking about Trump breaking up child sex rings.

   16. EBEddie Bravo24:37

       (sighs) .

   17. GUGuest24:37

       But he really did spend a lot of time concentrating on that and having people go out and try to break up these sex rings and sex trafficking. Like, this is not something that is a conspiracy theory. This is something that he's discussed many times. It's also not a conspiracy that there's sex trafficking. So as much as you want to discount Trump, here's a problem that I have with people that are on the left right now. They, they're not looking at everything. They're only looking at what they want to look at. "He's bad for the environment. He's always lying. He cheats on his wife. He does this, he does that." They say all these things he does bad. But when something comes up like Roseanne says, uh, "I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt because he's going after sex trafficking," and then it turns out all these other people say, "That's conspiracy theory. That's a bullshit online." No, he said it. He's put effort into it. Like, you've got to give the guy credit 'cause if you don't give him credit for things that he does that are important, nobody's gonna listen to you when you're criticizing him either. 'Cause you... all you're trying to do is win. You're not trying to look at the thing for what it really is. Yeah, he's... this guy ain't a per- he's not a perfect person, but he did make note on many times about wanting to break up se- sex trafficking rings.

   18. EBEddie Bravo25:48

       Do you know that your, your kid is 20,000 times more likely to get kidnapped than to get shot at a school?

   19. GUGuest25:57

       Do that make sense? Yeah.

   20. EBEddie Bravo25:58

       And 20,000 is conservative.

   21. GUGuest26:00

       Yeah.

   22. EBEddie Bravo26:00

       It's probably really like 70,000. 'Cause if you go by the numbers, 800,000 to a million kids go missing every year in the United States. And you-

   23. GUGuest26:08

       I l- I looked that up, though. That doesn't... I've never found a source for that. You said that before and I looked that up and I couldn't find that. It wasn't nearly as much.

   24. EBEddie Bravo26:15

       You know what? I read it online, so it could be wrong. It could be wrong.

   25. GUGuest26:18

       See, the problem with these things, like when we say them, especially if we say them like right now, two million people can listen to this or whatever the fuck it is.

   26. EBEddie Bravo26:24

       Even if it's 100,000 kids-

   27. GUGuest26:25

       Even if it's 100. Even if it's 100 kids-

   28. EBEddie Bravo26:27

       Yeah, 100 kids, that's more than school shootings.

   29. GUGuest26:29

       If it's one of your 500 kids, yeah.

   30. EBEddie Bravo26:29

       That's my point, it's more than school shootings.
7. 27:01 – 39:35

   Jimmy Savile and institutional cover-ups: from allegations to extreme claims

   1. EBEddie Bravo27:01

      Having your... having your kid 'cause, uh, 'cause the conspiracy theory is that there's this giant international child sex trafficking network going on that is being covered up. That's what's going on. And if you look at, uh, Jimmy Savile in the UK, that brought a lot of light to what's going-

   2. GUGuest27:19

      S- Savile, right? Is that how you say his name?

   3. EBEddie Bravo27:20

      Savile. Savile.

   4. GUGuest27:21

      Savile.

   5. EBEddie Bravo27:21

      Yeah.

   6. GUGuest27:22

      Yeah, Jimmy Savile.

   7. EBEddie Bravo27:23

      That guy's... that was a terrifying story.

   8. GUGuest27:24

      Yeah, so with... the story with him is... Jimmy Savile, he's dead now. He died in his 80s at... in 2011. He was, uh, a, uh, super famous, like Dick Clark kind of guy. He was a d-... uh, he was the host of Pop... Top of the Pops. Um, if like... if, if your band got on that show, you're gonna be mega.

   9. EBEddie Bravo27:43

      Oh my God.

   10. GUGuest27:43

       He was huge. He was friends with the royal family, with the prime ministers, Margaret Thatcher, Tony Blair.

   11. EBEddie Bravo27:50

       Pull up a picture of him, Jamie.

   12. GUGuest27:51

       He looks disgusting. Pull up Jimmy Savile, this guy.

   13. EBEddie Bravo27:53

       If he looks like a child molester-

   14. GUGuest27:54

       Look at this guy. Look at this guy. That guy's a super-

   15. EBEddie Bravo27:57

       ... and imagine ge- getting fucked by that guy-

   16. GUGuest27:58

       Check this out, but he was-

   17. EBEddie Bravo27:59

       ... when you're 12. You're like, "What?"

   18. GUGuest28:01

       Super, super famous and you know what he would do? He would raise money for hospitals and specifically psychiatric hospitals. And he would bring the Queen of England and he had all this power to raise millions for these hospitals, these mental institutions. He... that's what he preyed on.

   19. EBEddie Bravo28:22

       For kids. For kids.

   20. GUGuest28:23

       For kids. So he would... what he would do is he would, he would do so much for these hospitals that he would put himself on the board and give himself a job there in a position. And he would hang out at these hospitals. There's all... there's at least five... there's at least 500 people that have come forward to say they've been... were raped by him when they were at a-

   21. EBEddie Bravo28:39

       Wait, he said 500 people now?

   22. GUGuest28:40

       At least. It's, it's in the thousands.

   23. EBEddie Bravo28:42

       What's that sign say that he's holding up on his neck?

   24. JRJoe Rogan28:43

       This thing?

   25. EBEddie Bravo28:44

       What does that say?

   26. JRJoe Rogan28:44

       BBC Fix It for me?

   27. EBEddie Bravo28:46

       Oh, that was his show.

   28. GUGuest28:47

       Yeah, he wor-

   29. JRJoe Rogan28:47

       BBC Fix It for me, right.

   30. EBEddie Bravo28:48

       Yeah, he worked... he worked, uh, you know, he worked for the BBC. Super famous, super... he would ha-... he had Christmas dinner with Margaret Thatcher multiple times.
8. 39:35 – 47:19

   Parkland, ‘false flag’ claims, and why trauma scrambles memory

   1. EBEddie Bravo39:35

      ... the strangest thing about that Parkland shooting is the interview one of the teachers did on ABC. That's, this, this doesn't make any sense to me at all. It's like, uh, she said, um... I have the video. I could send it to you, Joe, it's- it's less than a minute. She says, y- y- ... "I opened up... " Um, "I heard the sh- I heard shots, opened up the door, all the kids ran in. They hid behind their desk, and there I saw the shooter 20 feet away from me. But at first, I, I thought he was a policeman. I'm like, 'What is the police doing here?' He had full body armor, a mask on, a helmet on, and was shooting. I was like, 'What is the cop, what are the cops doing here?'" That is the strangest, uh, video I've seen, because-

   2. JRJoe Rogan40:22

      Was it possibly someone shooting at the kid?

   3. EBEddie Bravo40:25

      That's not what she said. She said she saw the shooter. That's-

   4. JRJoe Rogan40:28

      Right, but I mean, how long was she watching for, right? If you're like, looking out the window and you see someone that's shooting someone or shooting a gun or even holding-

   5. EBEddie Bravo40:35

      Man.

   6. JRJoe Rogan40:35

      ... a gun. First of all, you have to realize that people in those traumatic situations, their memory is very fucked up. It's very shaky. Your brain's flooded with adrenaline. You m- you remember, you're open to suggestion. People can put things in your head and you all of a sudden think that that was a real memory that you saw. There's been like, scientific studies on that and about suggestive memory and about someone can literally, especially during periods of great duress, they can introduce ideas into your head and you will tell those ideas, uh, uh, uh, hours later, days later, as your own. And you don't even realize that they put them in your head. It's real weird. Memory in traumatic situations like gun sh- shootouts and shit like that is haywire because your on, you're working on that reptilian part of your brain. You're down to the lowest level. Like, my friend, Steve Rinella got attacked by a grizzly bear. He was in a Fogh Nak Island. It's a crazy podcast. Him and these other guys, they had killed an elk and they were packing this elk out and they left the elk by the tree while they were, uh, at their camp. Then they went to go back and a bear had claimed the elk. And this bear rushed them and he was like... One of the ways he described it to me is like, you have an idea in your head of like, what, like, an animal instinct is like. And he goes, "I'm telling you, this goes way deeper than that." This goes way... When you really think your life is in danger, you really think it's over, you don't even exist anymore. You're- you're moving, you have no idea what you're doing. You're- you're- you have to piece together what happened afterwards, and you were barely there in the first place. You're just gone. You're gone. You see somebody outside (imitates gun firing) you have no fucking idea who you even are right there and then. All these people that are like, "I would've run in the building, kicked that fucking guy's ass," you barely even know who you are. You got this video?

   7. NANarrator42:17

      He's pretty much

   8. EBEddie Bravo42:18

      Oh.

   9. JRJoe Rogan42:19

      Oh. (laughs)

   10. EBEddie Bravo42:20

       I, I sent you the video-

   11. JRJoe Rogan42:21

       That's the problem with the-

   12. EBEddie Bravo42:21

       ... the video that, uh-

   13. NANarrator42:22

       Oh.

   14. EBEddie Bravo42:22

       Yeah.

   15. JRJoe Rogan42:23

       People have to understand memory.

   16. EBEddie Bravo42:25

       Well, let's listen-

   17. JRJoe Rogan42:26

       So we're-

   18. EBEddie Bravo42:26

       Let's listen to her-

   19. JRJoe Rogan42:27

       Let's listen to it.

   20. EBEddie Bravo42:27

       ... and then, and let's-

   21. JRJoe Rogan42:27

       And then put the earphones on.

   22. EBEddie Bravo42:28

       ... let's see if she sounds like she's full of shit.

   23. JRJoe Rogan42:29

       Okay, let's hear what she says.

   24. NANarrator42:33

       No, stop.

   25. EBEddie Bravo42:33

       Now, I actually sent, uh, sent you the, the actual clip.

   26. NANarrator42:36

       Not the one.

   27. JRJoe Rogan42:37

       This is not it?

   28. EBEddie Bravo42:38

       Didn't I send y- I sent you one, right? On your phone.

   29. NANarrator42:40

       This is not it, though.

   30. EBEddie Bravo42:42

       That's, uh, that's the lady, but I don't know when, when she's gonna say-
9. 47:19 – 48:38

   Operation Northwoods and the evolution of government corruption

   1. JRJoe Rogan47:19

      Listen, I'm not saying that false flags don't exist. I mean, you and I-

   2. EBEddie Bravo47:22

      Yeah.

   3. JRJoe Rogan47:22

      ... have discussed on this podcast, in great detail-

   4. EBEddie Bravo47:24

      If they're willing to-

   5. JRJoe Rogan47:24

      ... the most important false flag-

   6. EBEddie Bravo47:26

      Yeah.

   7. JRJoe Rogan47:26

      ... which is Operation Northwoods.

   8. EBEddie Bravo47:27

      Yeah. If they're willing to do that, they're willing to do anything.

   9. JRJoe Rogan47:30

      Well, it's not th- this is, uh, also the problem, when we say they. Operation Northwoods was 1962. The question is, if that's how they did business back then, which is what they did. I mean, Operation Northwoods, they were planning on attacking, um, Guantanamo Bay with, uh, Cuban, they were gonna arm Cuban friendlies, have them attack Guantanamo Bay. They were gonna sacrifice American lives. They were gonna blow up a drone jetliner, blame it on the Cubans. All this was to, to get us enthusiastic about going to war with Cuba.

   10. EBEddie Bravo47:57

       Yeah.

   11. JRJoe Rogan47:57

       They were gonna sacrifice American lives.

   12. EBEddie Bravo47:59

       Yeah.

   13. JRJoe Rogan47:59

       This is 100%. They were gonna lie and fake shit.

   14. EBEddie Bravo48:02

       Which is normal.

   15. JRJoe Rogan48:02

       Which-

   16. EBEddie Bravo48:03

       Which is normal-

   17. JRJoe Rogan48:03

       It has to be.

   18. EBEddie Bravo48:03

       ... for empires.

   19. JRJoe Rogan48:04

       Right?

   20. EBEddie Bravo48:04

       For all countries.

   21. JRJoe Rogan48:05

       It has to be.

   22. EBEddie Bravo48:05

       This is just a normal... False flags are, it's nothing new.

   23. JRJoe Rogan48:08

       Right.

   24. EBEddie Bravo48:08

       It's been going on since the dawn of time.

   25. JRJoe Rogan48:10

       Right. So-

   26. EBEddie Bravo48:10

       False flags are, that's, it's, it's old-school shit.

   27. JRJoe Rogan48:12

       The question is, and this is for the rational person who's like, "This is ridiculous." You have to wonder, is that evolved, right? Everything evolves. The, the, uh, the, the way we use technology evolves, the way we use literature evolves, the way we use TV evolves, everything evolves.... does that evil corruption in government evolve too? Or does it just somehow or another get snuffed out because of the light? I don't buy that. I don't- I don't buy that.

   28. EBEddie Bravo48:38

       Mm-mm.

10. 48:38 – 56:16

    Hillary speeches, foundations, and the ‘legal bribery’ problem

    1. JRJoe Rogan48:38

       If you look at all the different things that we've shown that there's collusion in, just look at the fact that someone like Hillary Clinton can run for president while she was making hundreds of thousands of dollars giving speeches to banks. Like when she was in that debate with Bernie Sanders, and Bernie Sanders was like, "Release his transcripts. Tell us what you said. Tell us what you said to those nice banker people that gave you a half a million dollars." Or whatever the fuck they gave you.

    2. EBEddie Bravo48:59

       Yeah.

    3. JRJoe Rogan48:59

       Like, that's insane to think that someone was like, "Listen, dude. She is so fucking entertaining, we're gonna give her $250,000 for an hour. It's worth it. Trust me, I know we're in the banking business and I know we make money with money. You know, I mean, we're all about money. We know the value of money. We're in the banking business. This lady talking is worth a quarter million dollars. (snaps fingers) It's the best. She's gonna go up there, she's gonna knock your socks off."

    4. EBEddie Bravo49:24

       She's so good.

    5. JRJoe Rogan49:25

       "She's amazing."

    6. EBEddie Bravo49:26

       And she's funny.

    7. JRJoe Rogan49:28

       "She's hilarious."

    8. EBEddie Bravo49:29

       Oh, Mike, she's amazing.

    9. JRJoe Rogan49:30

       Her speech is super well-prepared.

    10. EBEddie Bravo49:33

        It's so worth it.

    11. JRJoe Rogan49:33

        And she stands up there on the podium and just knocks-

    12. EBEddie Bravo49:36

        (sighs)

    13. JRJoe Rogan49:36

        ... your fucking dick into the dirt.

    14. EBEddie Bravo49:38

        It is.

    15. JRJoe Rogan49:38

        What is this? "Hillary Clinton gets humiliating $7,000 less than Snooki for a speech at Rutgers-

    16. EBEddie Bravo49:44

        (sighs)

    17. JRJoe Rogan49:44

        ... as her story grows old."

    18. EBEddie Bravo49:46

        (laughs)

    19. JRJoe Rogan49:46

        Oh, wow. So she got, she got her price slashed to $25,000.

    20. EBEddie Bravo49:51

        I think they're gonna throw her under the bus.

    21. JRJoe Rogan49:53

        "Her standard fee was $200,000 per speech, but some folks suggest that it may be her broken record that set the recent slash price of $25,000."

    22. EBEddie Bravo50:03

        She made so much money off the Clinton Foundation.

    23. JRJoe Rogan50:06

        Yeah.

    24. EBEddie Bravo50:06

        She's fine.

    25. JRJoe Rogan50:06

        Just stop and think about that.

    26. EBEddie Bravo50:08

        She's just fine. She's like, "I'll do it for a thousand. Dude, I got fucking a hundred million from that Haiti earthquake. Are you kidding me?" (laughs)

    27. JRJoe Rogan50:13

        Yeah, but those people, people like her, I think one of the things in the back of their head is always the potential litigation. I think they always wanna stockpile legal funds-

    28. EBEddie Bravo50:21

        (sighs)

    29. JRJoe Rogan50:21

        ... 'cause someone could always come after them.

    30. EBEddie Bravo50:23

        Yeah.
11. 56:16 – 1:00:58

    Distrust in science: grants, corrupted studies, and ‘scientism’

    1. EBEddie Bravo56:16

       The conspiracy theory is that Rockefeller, John Rockefeller and Carnegie designed the school system to create slaves and to separate the family.

    2. JRJoe Rogan56:25

       Well-

    3. EBEddie Bravo56:25

       That's the conspiracy theory.

    4. JRJoe Rogan56:26

       ... so sc- so cr- the conspiracy theory is they designed it to create workers, right?

    5. EBEddie Bravo56:30

       Yeah.

    6. JRJoe Rogan56:30

       People that are-

    7. EBEddie Bravo56:31

       Slaves.

    8. JRJoe Rogan56:32

       ... slaves to the system.

    9. EBEddie Bravo56:32

       And they, they o-... The conspiracy theory is they openly said, "We don't, we don't need any more, uh-"

    10. JRJoe Rogan56:37

        Geniuses.

    11. EBEddie Bravo56:38

        ... "philosophers or geniuses."

    12. JRJoe Rogan56:39

        Yeah.

    13. EBEddie Bravo56:39

        "We, we, we got enough of that. We, we, we got that in co-... We got science right here."

    14. JRJoe Rogan56:43

        You need to work of course.

    15. EBEddie Bravo56:43

        "We got... Do you have any science you need? Come to us."

    16. JRJoe Rogan56:45

        Yeah.

    17. EBEddie Bravo56:45

        Like, what, when was the last, what, what was the l- when w- the last sci- great scientific discovery, like, in the last 40 years that wasn't government funded? Like, there's, there's, there's-

    18. JRJoe Rogan56:55

        I don't know what f- what they're... who's funding these studies. Why do you think that they're government funded? Like, some new shit they come out with.

    19. EBEddie Bravo57:01

        Uh, I, I don't know. See, I don't know.

    20. JRJoe Rogan57:03

        Yeah, I don't know.

    21. EBEddie Bravo57:03

        N- no one can name anything.

    22. JRJoe Rogan57:04

        Well, I don't know what... I mean, we'd have to go over-

    23. EBEddie Bravo57:06

        I'm, I'm asso-

    24. JRJoe Rogan57:06

        ... like some of the studies.

    25. EBEddie Bravo57:07

        I'm s-

    26. JRJoe Rogan57:07

        But I'm sure a lot-

    27. EBEddie Bravo57:08

        I-

    28. JRJoe Rogan57:08

        ... of them are not government funded.

    29. EBEddie Bravo57:09

        I'm assuming that most scientists are getting paychecks from the government. I'm just assuming that. I'm just... I'm, I'm assuming that most scientific datas is not... is coming from a bunch of scientists who, uh-

    30. JRJoe Rogan57:23

        Get grants. Something like that.
12. 1:00:58 – 1:16:34

    Pills, weed, and MDMA: side ‘effects,’ legalization, and therapy

    1. NANarrator1:00:58

       I watched, uh, Take Your Pills last night, that documentary on Netflix that's been going around.

    2. JRJoe Rogan1:01:01

       How was it?

    3. NANarrator1:01:02

       It's pretty good. There's not a... (clears throat) There's not a lot of, a lot of information.

    4. JRJoe Rogan1:01:04

       That's not the Adderall one, is it?

    5. NANarrator1:01:06

       No, it is. Yeah.

    6. JRJoe Rogan1:01:06

       It is? Yeah.

    7. NANarrator1:01:07

       So there's not a lot of information we don't already know. I feel like they just kind of compile it and make it look really good. But one interesting thing that you... Like, you just brought up a doctor says in it, "There's no side effects to pills. There's just unintended benefits or non-benefits that you want." They're all effects. There's no, like, side effect of, like, diarrhea, for instance. It's, it's an effect of the pill, just wasn't what you wanted necessarily, you know what I mean?

    8. JRJoe Rogan1:01:28

       I see what you're saying. So if you take something-

    9. EBEddie Bravo1:01:29

       So don't call it side effects.

    10. JRJoe Rogan1:01:30

        Yeah, yeah, yeah.

    11. EBEddie Bravo1:01:30

        Call it a, an effect.

    12. NANarrator1:01:32

        Right, yeah.

    13. JRJoe Rogan1:01:32

        Right. So if you take something and on some people, it gives suicidal thoughts-

    14. NANarrator1:01:36

        Right.

    15. JRJoe Rogan1:01:36

        ... it's not a side effect.

    16. EBEddie Bravo1:01:37

        Yeah.

    17. JRJoe Rogan1:01:37

        It's just an effect of taking that pill.

    18. EBEddie Bravo1:01:38

        Yeah, there's people... There's, there's girls wanting to kill themselves for taking the HPV vaccine.

    19. JRJoe Rogan1:01:44

        Not just that. Um, for taking acne medication.

    20. EBEddie Bravo1:01:47

        Dude-

    21. JRJoe Rogan1:01:47

        Accutane is a big one for that.

    22. EBEddie Bravo1:01:48

        Come on. Why-

    23. JRJoe Rogan1:01:49

        You know... Do you know Andrew Santino, hilarious comedian?

    24. EBEddie Bravo1:01:52

        Nuh-uh.

    25. JRJoe Rogan1:01:52

        Funny motherfucker. He took Accutane when he was, what did he say, in high school? Is that what he said? Said it was, like, the best thing that ever happened to him because his face totally cleared up, but the worst thing that ever happened to him in terms of, like, how it made him feel. Like, it just... It makes you feel...

    26. EBEddie Bravo1:02:06

        (sighs)

    27. JRJoe Rogan1:02:06

        A lot of people get it and they get suicidal thoughts.

    28. EBEddie Bravo1:02:08

        Yeah, for sure. See, so you're gonna ask yourself, you know, even if... Whether, whether, whether kids really are shooting up schools or it's a false flag and they're setting up the kids to do it-
