Chasing truly scary movies (and why most horror doesn’t work)
1. JRJoe Rogan
  Doo, doo, doo. Four, three, two, one. And we're live, Candace.
2. CTCandice Thompson
  Hi, guys. (laughs)
3. JRJoe Rogan
  Hi. (laughs)
4. CTCandice Thompson
  Oh my god, we're live. (laughs)
5. JRJoe Rogan
  Oh my god. What, what were you saying about Hereditary? That's supposed to be a terrifying movie, right?
6. CTCandice Thompson
  That's what they said.
7. JRJoe Rogan
  That's what they said.
8. CTCandice Thompson
  They meaning the media and, uh, like Huffington Post, I think.
9. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah.
10. CTCandice Thompson
  I, I... So that's why I went, 'cause I, I'm not scared by anything, like in the movies. So I'm constantly in pursuit of a sk- actual scary movie. So I went thinking, "Oh, this might be the one." It was not.
11. JRJoe Rogan
  Damn, you're that hard that no movies get you?
12. CTCandice Thompson
  I can't remember the last time I was scared by... I think Poltergeist when I was a kid.
13. JRJoe Rogan
  Hm.
14. CTCandice Thompson
  And that's why I'm scared of clowns to this day.
15. JRJoe Rogan
  Nothing as an adult, though?
16. CTCandice Thompson
  No.
17. JRJoe Rogan
  I'm trying to think of the last time I was really scared in a m- well...
18. CTCandice Thompson
  See?
19. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah.
20. CTCandice Thompson
  See? (laughs) They don't make-
21. JRJoe Rogan
  Well, they're fun. I like 'em.
22. CTCandice Thompson
  That's how I feel. I like... And I also like, uh, thinking that something might get me. I like the suspense in that, but it never does. I always get... It's very anticlimactic for me.
23. JRJoe Rogan
  You like thinking that something might get you scared.
24. CTCandice Thompson
  Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. And it don't.
25. JRJoe Rogan
  And it doesn't.
26. CTCandice Thompson
  It does not.
27. JRJoe Rogan
  Jamie, when was the last time you were scared in a movie?
28. JVJamie Vernon
  So jump scares are... That's like cheap, you know?
29. JRJoe Rogan
  Cheap scares. Yeah.
30. JVJamie Vernon
  That's not, that doesn't count just 'cause it makes it sound loud.
1:52 – 7:11
A real-life scare: the Peeping Tom whispering through her window
1. JRJoe Rogan
  There's something about the dark, right? Do you ever mind fuck yourself and you, you, you think that there's like someone outside? Like you think you hear something, you open your door and you listen and-
2. CTCandice Thompson
  That actually has happened to me. I had a Peeping Tom.
3. JRJoe Rogan
  Ooh.
4. CTCandice Thompson
  I had a real guy outside of my window. So like-
5. JRJoe Rogan
  Did you know him?
6. CTCandice Thompson
  I didn't see him. I only heard him.
7. JRJoe Rogan
  Oh.
8. CTCandice Thompson
  My window was cracked and, uh, he started whispering to me through my window.
9. JRJoe Rogan
  Whoa.
10. CTCandice Thompson
  I talk... I have a joke about it now because it was the only way I could deal with it without, you know, getting too paranoid about it. So I wrote a joke about it. But-
11. JRJoe Rogan
  (laughs)
12. CTCandice Thompson
  ... I did. (laughs)
13. JRJoe Rogan
  (laughs)
14. CTCandice Thompson
  I did, but every time I tell people, they're like, "That's terrifying." And I'm like, "Yeah, that is terrifying." But at the same time it's like... It was kinda flattering. (laughs)
15. JRJoe Rogan
  Kinda flattering that he went out of his way-
16. CTCandice Thompson
  Yeah, like...
17. JRJoe Rogan
  ... to whisper at you through a crack in the window.
18. CTCandice Thompson
  Yeah, all, all the windows he could have gone to, he came to mine. You know? So, but yeah, he-
19. JRJoe Rogan
  Did you ever see what the guy looked like?
20. CTCandice Thompson
  I didn't, but my neighbors did. So he came one night and I heard him. He started whispering to me. He was like, "Can I s..." I'll just tell you what he said.
21. JRJoe Rogan
  Okay.
22. CTCandice Thompson
  It was terrifying.
23. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah.
24. CTCandice Thompson
  I was watching... Also, let me give the setup. I was watching Mulholland Drive. Have you seen... Are you a David Lynch-
25. JRJoe Rogan
  Mm-hmm. That's David Lynch. Yeah.
26. CTCandice Thompson
  Mm-hmm. That's what I had on. Um, I'm a David Lynch fan and I had that on. It was probably like 3:00 in the morning.
27. JRJoe Rogan
  Whoa.
28. CTCandice Thompson
  And, uh, I sleep with my window open 'cause my place does not have AC.
29. JRJoe Rogan
  What?
30. CTCandice Thompson
  I know.
7:11 – 8:55
Vegan/vegetarian living, supplements, and Candice’s podcast ‘The Struggle’
1. CTCandice Thompson
  I don't eat meat either. Like, I do occasionally. I'll have fish.
2. JRJoe Rogan
  When Ian and I fly, every time we fly together-
3. CTCandice Thompson
  Mm-hmm.
4. JRJoe Rogan
  ... I take a picture of him five minutes into the flight 'cause he's always like this (snores) out cold five minutes in. I'm like, "Dude, what the fuck, man?"
5. CTCandice Thompson
  (laughs)
6. JRJoe Rogan
  "It's first thing in the morning. We're supposed to be up."
7. CTCandice Thompson
  Like, you just woke up. How are you going back to sleep?
8. JRJoe Rogan
  He's always so tired. And I... Dude, I go, "Dude, you gotta get-
9. CTCandice Thompson
  It's iron-
10. JRJoe Rogan
  ... blood work done." It's your fucking diet. I know it is.
11. CTCandice Thompson
  (laughs)
12. JRJoe Rogan
  You can do that vegan diet right, but you gotta be very disciplined.
13. CTCandice Thompson
  You have to.
14. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah. You have to take all sorts of different-
15. CTCandice Thompson
  Supplements.
16. JRJoe Rogan
  ... supplements-
17. CTCandice Thompson
  Right.
18. JRJoe Rogan
  ... and, and you have to use, uh, algae. You have to take algae. And-
19. CTCandice Thompson
  Yeah, yeah.
20. JRJoe Rogan
  ... even that's not the best source of B12. It's not as bioavailable as animal sources. You know, all f- all the fat soluble vitamins. This... It's just a d-... It's a nightmare. You gotta really be on the ball.
21. CTCandice Thompson
  Yeah. He's not.
22. JRJoe Rogan
  He's not.
23. CTCandice Thompson
  No. Ian... I don't know if Ian's on the ball or anything. He was just on my podcast the other day, and he, uh, talked... Uh, it's called The Struggle, and my... So I-
24. JRJoe Rogan
  The Struggle?
25. CTCandice Thompson
  The Struggle. So, I have-
26. JRJoe Rogan
  Is that about life in LA-
27. CTCandice Thompson
  I have... Yeah. Well, just some pe-
28. JRJoe Rogan
  ... with no AC?
29. CTCandice Thompson
  Just... Yes.
30. JRJoe Rogan
  (laughs)
8:55 – 11:20
Dating as an independent woman in LA (and why it’s so hard)
1. JRJoe Rogan
  Well, I find... This is just a rationalization, but I'm good at those. Uh, I find that women, when they're in their, um, the prime of their life, as a like, not y-... Not like 20, but, like, as a r-... An actual grown woman-
2. CTCandice Thompson
  Mm-hmm.
3. JRJoe Rogan
  ... with a career and, and if they're smart and independent, they have a really hard time finding the right man.
4. CTCandice Thompson
  Absolutely.
5. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah.
6. CTCandice Thompson
  Look at y-... Yeah.
7. JRJoe Rogan
  It's like if you're a dingbat-
8. CTCandice Thompson
  It's my life.
9. JRJoe Rogan
  If you're a dingbat and you'll, you know, you'll morph into whatever lifestyle your-
10. CTCandice Thompson
  Yeah.
11. JRJoe Rogan
  ... new boyfriend chooses-
12. CTCandice Thompson
  Yeah.
13. JRJoe Rogan
  ... then you can be okay.
14. CTCandice Thompson
  Yeah, 'cause you don't know who you are.
15. JRJoe Rogan
  But it's hard for a girl to find... First of all, it's hard for a girl who's strong and smart to find a guy who's not intimidated by that, right?
16. CTCandice Thompson
  Preach, Rogan. Preach.
17. JRJoe Rogan
  Right? It is.
18. CTCandice Thompson
  I know.
19. JRJoe Rogan
  And-
20. CTCandice Thompson
  Who are you talking to?
21. JRJoe Rogan
  You.
22. CTCandice Thompson
  This is my life.
23. JRJoe Rogan
  I know.
24. CTCandice Thompson
  And I so... I know so many women who are in my situation.
25. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah.
26. CTCandice Thompson
  So many who are just, like-
27. JRJoe Rogan
  It's women in their 30s.
28. CTCandice Thompson
  ... educated-
29. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah.
30. CTCandice Thompson
  ... know what they want-
11:20 – 17:28
Michael Jackson, Joe Jackson, and the “castrato” theory
1. CTCandice Thompson
  RIP Joe Jackson. He just passed away (laughs) by the way.
2. JRJoe Rogan
  Well, RIP Joe Jackson. We were just reading about him. Um, people have been sending me these things that Dr. Conrad Murray says that-
3. CTCandice Thompson
  Oh.
4. JRJoe Rogan
  ... Michael Jackson was chemically castrated.
5. CTCandice Thompson
  Oh, yeah. I heard about that.
6. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah. I had... I said that a long time ago, that I thought he was a castrato. Do you know what-
7. CTCandice Thompson
  Is that the word for-
8. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah.
9. CTCandice Thompson
  ... being castrated?
10. JRJoe Rogan
  A castrato is something that they used to do to young boys to get them to sing opera better.
11. CTCandice Thompson
  (gasps)
12. JRJoe Rogan
  You ever heard of this before?
13. CTCandice Thompson
  I wonder if Aaron Neville has. (laughs) Yep. Yeah. Ah.
14. JRJoe Rogan
  I don't think so.
15. CTCandice Thompson
  Yeah.
16. JRJoe Rogan
  I think he's just doing a falsetto-
17. CTCandice Thompson
  Yes.
18. JRJoe Rogan
  ... because when you hear him talk, he talks-
19. CTCandice Thompson
  He talks like this.
20. JRJoe Rogan
  ... he talks like a man.
21. CTCandice Thompson
  Michael Jackson also talked like this, too, by the way.
22. JRJoe Rogan
  Michael Jackson talks like this when you hear him go-
23. CTCandice Thompson
  That was fake, though.
24. JRJoe Rogan
  It's fake.
25. CTCandice Thompson
  Did you hear? I... Speaking all this Conrad Murray stuff.
26. JRJoe Rogan
  How he talks? Like this?
27. CTCandice Thompson
  He ta-... His voice was like this. Conrad Murray has a recording on his phone that he just played. I just... There was some documentary I just watched.
28. JRJoe Rogan
  Hmm.
29. CTCandice Thompson
  And it was Michael Jackson's, like, last words.
30. JRJoe Rogan
  Oh.
17:28 – 23:15
Ambition, money, and the treadmill of “never enough”
1. CTCandice Thompson
  Yeah. But isn't it, isn't it, uh, also, like, the, a certain type of person only wants that level of fame? Right? Like, have you ever thought about, like, people who get to, like, for example, like, Donald Trump level, 'cause it doesn't just apply to, like, uh, the entertainment industry.
2. JRJoe Rogan
  Mm-hmm.
3. CTCandice Thompson
  But, like, CEOs who th- these multi-billion dollar, own these multi-billion dollar corporations. Like, it takes a certain type of person to even want that type of clout, you know?
4. JRJoe Rogan
  Right.
5. CTCandice Thompson
  And, uh, I don't know, I think that there's something in that as well. I don't know.
6. JRJoe Rogan
  I think there's a pursuit involved in all these things, where you start off just chasing money-
7. CTCandice Thompson
  Mm-hmm.
8. JRJoe Rogan
  ... and you start out, and then you get involved in a game, and it's all about numbers. It's all about putting scores up, you know? And I think as those scores continue to pile on, you continue to get more excited about your progress and you wanna keep going further. If someone makes a million dollars a year, they don't go, "That's good."
9. CTCandice Thompson
  "That's good enough."
10. JRJoe Rogan
  No, they go, "I want two million."
11. CTCandice Thompson
  Yeah.
12. JRJoe Rogan
  They make two million, "I want a mansion." They get a mansion. "I want a jet." They get a jet. "I want a-
13. CTCandice Thompson
  Right.
14. JRJoe Rogan
  ... I want a fucking island."
15. CTCandice Thompson
  I have always wondered, like, when is it enough for people? 'Cause like-
16. JRJoe Rogan
  Mm-hmm.
17. CTCandice Thompson
  ... I, I, I'm the type of person ... I don't think I would be like that. Like, if I had-... $25 million, and somebody was like, "You have to do this to get another $25 million." Depending upon what it is, if it was something that I didn't believe in or something that wasn't aligned with my morals, I wouldn't, I'd be like, "I already have $25 million. Yeah, I don't need it that bad."
18. JRJoe Rogan
  Well, yeah. I mean, that's different though. You're saying, like, if something was not aligned with your morals. But if you had $25 million, and you had an opportunity to make $30 million...
19. CTCandice Thompson
  Oh, yeah.
20. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah.
21. CTCandice Thompson
  If it was... Yeah, if, but there-
22. JRJoe Rogan
  You'd have to just work a couple extra hours a week, Candace. No big deal.
23. CTCandice Thompson
  Is that all it takes?
24. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah. Maybe just a few-
25. CTCandice Thompson
  Oh, well that's fine.
26. JRJoe Rogan
  ... five extra, five extra hours a week. An extra hour a day, and we could ramp you up to $30 million a year.
27. CTCandice Thompson
  Well, I would do that. (laughs)
28. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah. You would do that. And then you go, "Listen-"
29. CTCandice Thompson
  I would do that.
30. JRJoe Rogan
  "... Candace, we can get you really close to $75 million a year, but you're gonna have to work 12 hours a day."
23:15 – 24:58
Words, “respect,” and the policing of language
1. CTCandice Thompson
  Can we talk about... Since we're on the, on the nickname thing. So, for... You know we're not allowed to say tranny anymore, right?
2. JRJoe Rogan
  You just said it.
3. CTCandice Thompson
  I know.
4. JRJoe Rogan
  (gasps)
5. CTCandice Thompson
  'Cause I don't... I personally don't find anything wrong with the word, and now someone could very well say, "Well, you're not transgender, Candace. You're not bothered by it, you know."
6. JRJoe Rogan
  Mm-hmm. Yes.
7. CTCandice Thompson
  "Um, it doesn't affect you." But I, I don't know anyone that really used it in a derogatory way. You know, uh, uh, you know, it was just a word that we said to refer to-
8. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah.
9. CTCandice Thompson
  ... this type of person. But, to me it sounds adorable. Like, to me it's just a nickname for transgender.
10. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah.
11. CTCandice Thompson
  To say tranny. It's like Jennifer, you call somebody Jenny.
12. JRJoe Rogan
  Well, there's a lot of policing of language as of late, and it's ramped up because the internet, because people can complain more.
13. CTCandice Thompson
  Yeah.
14. JRJoe Rogan
  But I think, uh, the problem is that it's not... You're not putting any respect on that name.
15. CTCandice Thompson
  Is that what it is? It's a respect?
16. JRJoe Rogan
  That's what it is.
17. CTCandice Thompson
  It sounds like it's a...
18. JRJoe Rogan
  Remember when Birdman went to visit Charlamagne?
19. CTCandice Thompson
  (laughs)
20. JRJoe Rogan
  "Put some respect on my name."
21. CTCandice Thompson
  It's respek.
22. JRJoe Rogan
  Respek.
23. CTCandice Thompson
  (laughs)
24. JRJoe Rogan
  "Put some respek on my name."
25. CTCandice Thompson
  Respek.
26. JRJoe Rogan
  Did you see that? Did you see that interview?
27. CTCandice Thompson
  But I, but I, I didn't see that one.
28. JRJoe Rogan
  He came in... Apparently Charlamagne had been talking some shit about Birdman. So Birdman came in-
29. CTCandice Thompson
  (laughs)
30. JRJoe Rogan
  ... with a giant crew.
24:58 – 31:57
Celebrity beefs, rap gossip, and enjoying bruised egos
1. CTCandice Thompson
  I was all... Were you following the Drake and Pusha T, uh, rap beef?
2. JRJoe Rogan
  I, I tried to, I tried to not.
3. CTCandice Thompson
  Why?
4. JRJoe Rogan
  I tried to, I tried to avoid it, because Jamie brings these up. He comes in-
5. CTCandice Thompson
  Stop it.
6. JRJoe Rogan
  "Did you, did you hear about what's happening with Drake?"
7. CTCandice Thompson
  It was so good.
8. JRJoe Rogan
  "And turns out Drake has a kid with a porn star." (growling)
9. CTCandice Thompson
  Yeah.
10. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah, yeah. I get it all from Jamie. Jamie's the gossip news.
11. CTCandice Thompson
  Yeah.
12. JRJoe Rogan
  He's the TMZ of this, uh, this studio.
13. CTCandice Thompson
  It gives me so much life.
14. JRJoe Rogan
  Why do you love that?
15. CTCandice Thompson
  Just because... I love, I love hurt feelings, man.
16. JRJoe Rogan
  (gasps)
17. CTCandice Thompson
  I love... I do. I do.
18. JRJoe Rogan
  Do you?
19. CTCandice Thompson
  When it's, like, celebrities and people-
20. JRJoe Rogan
  Oh, like they can get their feelings hurt?
21. CTCandice Thompson
  ...who... Of course.
22. JRJoe Rogan
  Fuck them.
23. CTCandice Thompson
  They can.
24. JRJoe Rogan
  Fuck them.
25. CTCandice Thompson
  Because all they're doing is bragging and talking about all the money they have.
26. JRJoe Rogan
  Oh.
27. CTCandice Thompson
  So it's like they, th- they're-
28. JRJoe Rogan
  But what if they're not braggy? What if they're like-
29. CTCandice Thompson
  They all... What rapper is not braggy?
30. JRJoe Rogan
  Rapper.
31:57 – 36:13
Candace Owens, political branding, and “tribes” that demand loyalty
1. JRJoe Rogan
  So, uh, Candace Owens is in the dark place? Is that what you said?
2. CTCandice Thompson
  Sunkin. The Sunkin Place.
3. JRJoe Rogan
  The Sunkin Place?
4. CTCandice Thompson
  Yeah.
5. JRJoe Rogan
  How so?
6. CTCandice Thompson
  What do you mean how so? She's a Black chick who's, like, (laughs) caping for Trump. (laughs)
7. JRJoe Rogan
  Caping?
8. CTCandice Thompson
  Yeah.
9. JRJoe Rogan
  What is caping?
10. CTCandice Thompson
  Like, rooting for, on his team.
11. JRJoe Rogan
  Oh. I've never heard that term, caping.
12. CTCandice Thompson
  Yeah, supporting, yeah.
13. JRJoe Rogan
  Hm.
14. CTCandice Thompson
  Yeah. So I can't ... I mean, by nature, I don't understand that. And she's a woman. She's a Black woman.
15. JRJoe Rogan
  (coughs) You don't understand it?
16. CTCandice Thompson
  No, I don't. What is there to understand? Like, he-
17. JRJoe Rogan
  Someone that wants attention?
18. CTCandice Thompson
  You're a womanizer who has been also accused of rape on numerous occasions.
19. JRJoe Rogan
  (coughs)
20. CTCandice Thompson
  Also been ... You know, has a history of racism from his family. Like, his father... His father used to ... In- in his apartments, used to deny, uh, renting apartments to, to brown and Black people. So, like, that ... He was raised with that, so, like ...
21. JRJoe Rogan
  Mm-hmm.
22. CTCandice Thompson
  And, you know, calling Mexicans rapists. Like, I can't. I ... There's no explanation for supporting-
23. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah, I think, um-
24. CTCandice Thompson
  ... as a Black woman.
25. JRJoe Rogan
  ... she found a niche.
26. CTCandice Thompson
  She did. I think that's exactly what it is. I think that ... I don't even think necessarily she believes what she says. Like, I think that she was like, "Oh, this is a way for me to get famous because there are how many Black ..." She's ... Do you know what she is? She's like the brand-new Omarosa. She's like, she's like new Omarosa.
27. JRJoe Rogan
  (sighs) I had ... Omarosa was on Fear Factor back in the day.
28. CTCandice Thompson
  She was?
29. JRJoe Rogan
  She's crazy. She accused me of being drunk.
30. CTCandice Thompson
  On the show?
36:13 – 38:23
Border separation outrage, Mexico violence, and the drug war’s fallout
1. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah. That, to me, is one of the darker moments of this, this era, this, uh, the knowledge that thousands of kids get separated from their parents as they cross the border. They're like, "What? What the fuck are we doing?" Like, what ... And I don't, I don't ... There's no excuses. A lot of people ... I, I ... There's a video that I made. It was just a rant on the podcast about it with my friend Duncan.
2. CTCandice Thompson
  Mm-hmm.
3. JRJoe Rogan
  You know Duncan Trussell.
4. CTCandice Thompson
  We've met a co- only a couple times, but I don't know him very well, but everyone loves him.
5. JRJoe Rogan
  So we did this rant, or I did this rant about it, and it got made into a video, and then a- all these people are like, you know, "You don't understand the real issue on the border." If the real issue on the border is separating parents from their kids, th- that's not the real issue, you fucking idiot.
6. CTCandice Thompson
  That's not the ... Right.
7. JRJoe Rogan
  It's supposed to be keeping criminals out. You think that lady and her baby are criminals?
8. CTCandice Thompson
  Are criminals.
9. JRJoe Rogan
  And (sighs) it's just ... Can you imagine? I mean, b- people can't imagine what it'd be like to live in Mexico, right next to the United States. You're right, it's right there.
10. CTCandice Thompson
  Right. They're right there.
11. JRJoe Rogan
  You just walk over there and get a job.
12. CTCandice Thompson
  You're right there.
13. JRJoe Rogan
  And meanwhile, over here, you're fucked.
14. CTCandice Thompson
  To a better life, right.
15. JRJoe Rogan
  Over here, your cousin got killed by the cartel for looking at somebody wrong at a taco stand.
16. CTCandice Thompson
  Right. Right.
17. JRJoe Rogan
  You know? And then you just ... And nobody, nobody ever goes to jail for it. Do you know how many fucking politicians they killed in Mexico this year?
18. CTCandice Thompson
  You know the number?
19. JRJoe Rogan
  Somebody was just telling me. Yeah.
20. CTCandice Thompson
  Oh, God.
21. JRJoe Rogan
  It's more, it's more than 100 this year-
22. CTCandice Thompson
  Well, that's-
23. JRJoe Rogan
  ... politicians murdered in Mexico.
24. CTCandice Thompson
  That's the go-to place if you're gonna murder somebody, right? Like, it's right there.
25. JRJoe Rogan
  Oh, yeah. Take them over there. Sure.
26. CTCandice Thompson
  And it's ... And they never investigate anything.
27. JRJoe Rogan
  They don't give a fuck.
28. CTCandice Thompson
  Yeah.
29. JRJoe Rogan

Weed, edibles, and the legendary ‘we’re dying’ 911 call
1. CTCandice Thompson
  Have you ever tried cocaine?
2. JRJoe Rogan
  Never.
3. CTCandice Thompson
  Never? Me neither.
4. JRJoe Rogan
  Never.
5. CTCandice Thompson
  I've, I've tried-
6. JRJoe Rogan
  Good for you.
7. CTCandice Thompson
  Yeah and no. I won't.That's one I won't try. Like, I prefer like ... I've done shrooms and weed, and that's that.
8. JRJoe Rogan
  How often do you do shrooms?
9. CTCandice Thompson
  Not often.
10. JRJoe Rogan
  How often do you do weed?
11. CTCandice Thompson
  I don't even like ... The only weed that I have is given to me. Like, you know when I'll do, like when I'll judge Roast Battle?
12. JRJoe Rogan
  (laughs)
13. JVJamie Vernon
  (laughs)
14. CTCandice Thompson
  And they, and they pay you in weed?
15. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah.
16. CTCandice Thompson
  They're like, "Here's a bag of weed."
17. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah.
18. CTCandice Thompson
  And then it takes me like years to go through it.
19. JRJoe Rogan
  (laughs)
20. CTCandice Thompson
  That's how, that's how infrequently. Like, I'll smoke when I'm with like friends, but I'm not ... I don't drink by myself and I don't ... Like, when I go home ... Like, I've had a bottle of liquor, of vodka, that's been in my freezer over a year now. It's unopened.
21. JRJoe Rogan
  What you're trying to say is you're healthy.
22. CTCandice Thompson
  I'm very healthy.
23. JRJoe Rogan
  Good for you.
24. CTCandice Thompson
  Yeah. I'm very healthy.
25. JRJoe Rogan
  When y- you smoke weed, do you ever get paranoid?
26. CTCandice Thompson
  This one time, I did an edible. I ate too much. So you know Jamar Neighbors?
27. JRJoe Rogan
  Sure.
28. CTCandice Thompson
  A very funny comic. He gave me an edible one time and this was before like anybody could just walk into a dispensary. Like, because now you just have to show your ID and you can get anything from the dispensary, but this is when you had to have a, a card. So, he went in and got it for me and it was this lemon bar that said "Award Winning" on it. And me being the weed novice, I was like, "Oh, this is gonna be award winning because of the taste, right?"
29. JRJoe Rogan
  (laughs)
30. CTCandice Thompson
  It's like probably a ... I was like, "This is like a Paula Deen recipe." And so-
45:17 – 52:03
Body image whiplash: low-fat diets, carnivore claims, and body positivity debates
1. JRJoe Rogan
  Bro. Like a girl, girl can have thick thighs and a thick ass.
2. CTCandice Thompson
  But even so like women, uh, we can say that and we know that men, some men or a lot of men like it, but keep-
3. JRJoe Rogan
  Mm-hmm.
4. CTCandice Thompson
  Being called thick does nev- never makes us feel good about ourselves.
5. JRJoe Rogan
  Mm-hmm.
6. CTCandice Thompson
  Even if, even if we know that men like it, it still makes it... In the back of our head we're like, "Does he mean I'm fat?"
7. JRJoe Rogan
  What's all this we shit? Uh, there's guaranteed there's girls out there that like being thick.
8. CTCandice Thompson
  Yeah, of course.
9. JRJoe Rogan
  Or being called thick.
10. CTCandice Thompson
  Of course. Of course.
11. JRJoe Rogan
  But you're saying we.
12. CTCandice Thompson
  But a lot of women.
13. JRJoe Rogan
  Women that exactly look good.
14. CTCandice Thompson
  'Cause I know I've had conversations with other women that have been like... Oh, look-
15. JRJoe Rogan
  Getting mad.
16. CTCandice Thompson
  I used to be, when I was in high school, I was probably 20, 25 pounds heavier than what I am right now.
17. JRJoe Rogan
  What were you eating? Other high school kids?
18. CTCandice Thompson
  Lots of carbs.
19. JRJoe Rogan
  Lots of carbs?
20. CTCandice Thompson
  Lots. I didn't know how to eat properly because... So there was a whole low fat craze. You remember this.
21. JRJoe Rogan
  Yes.
22. CTCandice Thompson
  When SnackWell's was popping. Remember that?
23. JRJoe Rogan
  Mm-hmm.
24. CTCandice Thompson
  And they, they were like, "No, no fat." High fat is bad, so they started doing low fat everything, but then they replaced the fat with sugar so it would taste palatable, you know. 'Cause you, if you take the fat out, the flavor's gone. So like how do we get the flavor back? So they put a bunch of sugar and stuff. So you're eating like... (growls) Thinking, "Oh, it's low fat." I would come home and eat like a bag of like low fat pretzels, thinking... Like a bag of those Sniders of Hanover-
25. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah.
26. CTCandice Thompson
  ... pretz... A bag of, one of those big ones.
27. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah.
28. CTCandice Thompson
  And be like, "Why am I gaining weight?"
29. JRJoe Rogan
  (laughs)
30. CTCandice Thompson
  'Cause I didn't know. I thought low fat meant, oh, I would... It's low fat. (laughs)
52:03 – 1:04:29
Dating apps, standards, and modern hookup culture (straight and gay)
1. CTCandice Thompson
  No, not at all. Not at all. I just, I don't know, I feel like being... 'Cause you don't drink at all, do you?
2. JRJoe Rogan
  I drink.
3. CTCandice Thompson
  Oh, you, you do drink?
4. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah.
5. CTCandice Thompson
  Okay. I just feel like I have such a non-addictive, uh, personality, and I feel that most people are addicted to things.
6. JRJoe Rogan
  Mm.
7. CTCandice Thompson
  And that's why it's also tough for me, like, uh, dating also is because I know, I've seen, I know that a lot of people that I have, you know, been on dates with or whatever, it's like, "Oh, this lifestyle is not conducive to what I'm trying to do." So, we just don't click in that way.
8. JRJoe Rogan
  Because you find, you go on dates with guys who are getting fucked up a lot?
9. CTCandice Thompson
  Yeah.
10. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah.
11. CTCandice Thompson
  Like, a lot.
12. JRJoe Rogan
  A lot.
13. CTCandice Thompson
  A lot. So much so-
14. JRJoe Rogan
  Like, every weekend, whoo.
15. CTCandice Thompson
  Weekend?
16. JRJoe Rogan
  Nights.
17. CTCandice Thompson
  Nights.
18. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah. Weeknights.
19. CTCandice Thompson
  Yeah. Any day.
20. JRJoe Rogan
  Whoo.
21. CTCandice Thompson
  Is it Tuesday?
22. JRJoe Rogan
  Whoo.
23. CTCandice Thompson
  Why am I not drunk yet? Right.
24. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah.
25. CTCandice Thompson
  (laughs) So, yeah, I actually, the last app that I got on was like, uh, it's, uh, it's called Meet Mindful, 'cause I wanted to-
26. JRJoe Rogan
  Mm.
27. CTCandice Thompson
  ... like, find people who were-
28. JRJoe Rogan
  Some yoga dude.
29. CTCandice Thompson
  Yeah. Somebody who was just more present and-
30. JRJoe Rogan
  Mm-hmm.
