Joe Rogan Experience #1288 - Jon Reep

1. 0:00 – 0:26

   Zero-alcohol beers and the “That thing got a Hemi” fame

   1. JRJon Reep0:00

      So bad.

   2. JRJoe Rogan0:02

      And we're live. Um, do you drink? Do you want a zero alcohol Heineken?

   3. JRJon Reep0:06

      Tch, sure. If you're having one.

   4. JRJoe Rogan0:08

      Yeah. There you go, fella. Zero alcohol, let's get crazy. (laughs) They're actually good.

   5. JRJon Reep0:12

      Well, let's pace ourselves.

   6. JRJoe Rogan0:13

      They taste... Cheers, sir. (glasses clinking)

   7. JRJon Reep0:14

      I'm gonna chug this.

   8. JRJoe Rogan0:15

      Whoa, don't do that.

   9. JRJon Reep0:16

      I'm not drinking that.

   10. JRJoe Rogan0:16

       Dude, what are you, dangerous? Reckless?

   11. JRJon Reep0:17

       Zero alcohol. How many calories, though?

   12. JRJoe Rogan0:20

       What, you scared of calories, bro? That's how you stay alive.

   13. JRJon Reep0:23

       That's true.

   14. JRJoe Rogan0:23

       That's how you get your energy from the air.

   15. JRJon Reep0:24

       I mean, I got plenty of calories already.

2. 0:26 – 3:42

   Negotiating a free truck: agent tactics, Suzuki Sidekick shame, and LA valet problems

   1. JRJoe Rogan0:26

      Dammit. I have to ask you. Did you drive in in a Hemi?

   2. JRJon Reep0:29

      (laughs) No, I didn't. I got dropped off-

   3. JRJoe Rogan0:31

      What the fuck? (laughs)

   4. JRJon Reep0:32

      ... in a Chevy.

   5. JRJoe Rogan0:32

      Oh my God.

   6. JRJon Reep0:33

      (laughs) This is outrageous. I had one for a little while.

   7. JRJoe Rogan0:36

      Just a little while?

   8. JRJon Reep0:37

      Yeah.

   9. JRJoe Rogan0:37

      I would've figured, like, you would have to have one for quite a long time.

   10. JRJon Reep0:40

       It was fun. Well, o- okay, I'm gonna backtrack a little bit.

   11. JRJoe Rogan0:43

       Okay.

   12. JRJon Reep0:44

       So first commercial, right? That thing got a Hemi.

   13. JRJoe Rogan0:48

       Right.

   14. JRJon Reep0:48

       I did six of these things.

   15. JRJoe Rogan0:50

       Yeah.

   16. JRJon Reep0:50

       And around commercial three, I, uh, I was talking to my agent, and I said, "Man, you know, if they ask-"

   17. JRJoe Rogan0:57

       Look at you.

   18. JRJon Reep0:57

       "... to do another one..." Oh, shit.

   19. JRJoe Rogan0:58

       (laughs)

   20. JRJon Reep0:58

       Here we go. Yeah.

   21. JRJoe Rogan1:00

       (laughs)

   22. JRJon Reep1:01

       Oh my God.

   23. JRJoe Rogan1:01

       Is that a Hemi?

   24. JRJon Reep1:02

       That's the worst I've ever looked in my life.

   25. JRJoe Rogan1:04

       (laughs)

   26. JRJon Reep1:04

       I really felt like I was sitting in the desert, like no one's ever gonna see these commercials. No one's gonna know what a Hemi is.

   27. JRJoe Rogan1:09

       Incorrect. (laughs)

   28. JRJon Reep1:09

       And I couldn't have been, I could not have been more wrong.

   29. JRJoe Rogan1:12

       (laughs) Yeah.

   30. JRJon Reep1:14

       Yeah. There it is.
3. 3:42 – 6:02

   Stick shifts, Italy traffic, and why driving manual feels “in command”

   1. JRJoe Rogan3:42

      Well, the worst is if you try to valet a stick shift. I tried to give-

   2. JRJon Reep3:45

      Oh, right.

   3. JRJoe Rogan3:45

      I tried to give a valet my keys to my Bronco, and he didn't know what to do. I go, "You don't know how to drive a stick shift." He goes, "No." I go, "What the fuck are you doing here, man? How can you have this job?"

   4. JRJon Reep3:54

      Yeah. Yeah, that-

   5. JRJoe Rogan3:55

      Yeah.

   6. JRJon Reep3:55

      ... that should be a part of the, uh, resume. Like-

   7. JRJoe Rogan3:58

      You can't?

   8. JRJon Reep3:58

      ... can drive all cars.

   9. JRJoe Rogan3:59

      It's crazy.

   10. JRJon Reep4:00

       Yeah. I mean, I think most people know how to, you know, anyone under 30 can drive a stick anymore.

   11. JRJoe Rogan4:05

       I don't think so. No, I think it's-

   12. JRJon Reep4:07

       It's going-

   13. JRJoe Rogan4:07

       It's going gone.

   14. JRJon Reep4:08

       Yeah.

   15. JRJoe Rogan4:08

       Porsche doesn't make them anymore. The only, American muscle cars were one of the last holdouts.

   16. JRJon Reep4:13

       Mm-hmm.

   17. JRJoe Rogan4:13

       Like Corvette and Camaro.

   18. JRJon Reep4:15

       I haven't driven a stick in a long time.

   19. JRJoe Rogan4:17

       Mustangs. You have?

   20. JRJon Reep4:18

       No.

   21. JRJoe Rogan4:19

       You want to? You want to try-

   22. JRJon Reep4:20

       Sure.

   23. JRJoe Rogan4:20

       ... one today?

   24. JRJon Reep4:20

       Actually, the last time I did, I was in Costa Rica.

   25. JRJoe Rogan4:22

       Oh.

   26. JRJon Reep4:23

       And I rented, I rented a car. And I'm like, I just assume all cars now when you rent them are automatics, you know?

   27. JRJoe Rogan4:30

       Mm-hmm.

   28. JRJon Reep4:30

       You get another country, it's, it's whatever. And so I'm pulling out of the, uh, the lot. And it's like, oh shit, it's been a minute. It was pretty embarrassing.

   29. JRJoe Rogan4:40

       (stuttering)

   30. JRJon Reep4:40

       (laughs) Yeah. (imitating engine revving) Pow, pow! Like, I got this.
4. 6:02 – 16:26

   Goofy gadgets and foldable phones: CES weirdness, cracked screens, and tech habits

   1. JRJoe Rogan6:02

      You can't go back in time. (laughs) How'd you find this? (laughs) Right? (laughs) Where did that phone come from? That's a flip phone. Or was that thing? That's my Suzuki Sidekick. (laughs) We were looking at that thing from CES that Jamie pulled up. What is that goofy thing called?

   2. JVJamie Vernon6:15

      Uh...

   3. JRJoe Rogan6:16

      These are good, right? It, uh, I don't really, I don't feel like I'm drinking a non-alcoholic beer. It tastes like a regular beer. Um...

   4. JVJamie Vernon6:23

      Planet Computers Cosmo Communicator. (laughs)

   5. JRJoe Rogan6:25

      Look at the fucking outside of that thing. What is that thing? That is, that is wasted development money. That looks- Like someone was doing coke- (laughs) ... and they decided... Does that have a spaceship? It does. Oh my God. It looks like it could either have a planet or a spaceship on the front of it. It looks like one of those... (laughs) Look at that. It looks like one of those metal wallets that you get to keep your credit cards secured on.

   6. JVJamie Vernon6:44

      It's got a whole keyboard on it.

   7. JRJoe Rogan6:44

      Yeah.

   8. JVJamie Vernon6:45

      That's pretty dope.

   9. JRJoe Rogan6:45

      But that shit's preposterous. Oh, for sure. It's just too big. But you're not using your fingers. You could. See, the only... But would you? Who makes that? My fat fucking hands are not gonna fit on that thing. Yeah. (laughs) You're not going to be able to do that. Right. Like, look at that. I mean, at this point, we're so used to doing this- Yeah. ... why go back and, and go back to that now? Do you ever go sideways on your iPhone? Uh, yeah. Did you ever go that way? Just to take a picture, I will. Yeah. But never to type. Not typing, no way. I thought that was the move. I'm like, "Oh, once we go sideways. That's gonna be the shit."

   10. JVJamie Vernon7:12

       (laughs) Have you, have you tried it on an iPad?

   11. JRJoe Rogan7:13

       Uh, I have not.

   12. JVJamie Vernon7:15

       It's not bad.

   13. JRJoe Rogan7:16

       Yeah? Sideways on an iPad?

   14. JVJamie Vernon7:17

       Yeah, like when you have to type on the full screen-

   15. JRJoe Rogan7:19

       Oh.

   16. JVJamie Vernon7:19

       ... with the full keyboard.

   17. JRJoe Rogan7:20

       Oh, with both hands.

   18. JVJamie Vernon7:20

       It's not bad. It's not perfect, but it's fucking-

   19. JRJoe Rogan7:23

       Right.

   20. JVJamie Vernon7:23

       ... way better than just your thumbs on an iPhone.

   21. JRJoe Rogan7:24

       Yeah, that makes sense. Especially if you can type. I used to think I would never get used to that, just that, you know, the key- the, the, the screen, without feeling it. Look at that little front screen. Like you got a bunch of shit that comes in on it. Look at that. Oh. Like apps and stuff, I guess. (laughs) Boy, that's gonna... No one's buying that son. How much is that thing?

   22. JVJamie Vernon7:42

       I got news for you. You never know.

   23. JRJoe Rogan7:43

       How much is that? Well, here's the thing. There are so many options now. If you don't like Apple, and you're committed to like an Android phone, there's so many options. Yeah. Why would you buy that thing? What, I don't even know, what company is that? Hmm. Exactly. That's also part of the problem, right? Yeah, that'll be gone. Like where do you bring that thing to get it fixed? Right. (laughs) Yeah. If the screen cracks and you bring it to the mall, "What is it?" Yeah. "It's a Cosmo Communicator, bro." (laughs) We're going to have to go to the future and fix this thing. Yeah, we can't do this in 10 minutes. No. This thing's a mess. I mean, I got a cracked screen now, and, uh, you know, it's not even that bad. But I've seen people walk around with like a damn spider web on their phone. Yeah, ridiculous. I'm like, "How, when are you going to go get it fixed? What's the point?" It's like- Where the glass is falling off. That's an indication if you need to get your shit together. Yeah, that's true. (laughs) You know. Yeah, if your phone looks like a, like a, a haunted house. (laughs) Yeah, that's a good one. Yeah, let's go into like a... You know, see if this girl's going to be crazy. Right. Like, how cracked is her screen? That's a good point. Like, "Give me your phone." Like, a girl who can deal with a little crack, that's probably a sign of character. Yeah, that's okay. She's cool. Just a little crack in the window, in the corner. No big deal. That's fine. She doesn't give a fuck. She's easygoing. Yeah. She doesn't even need to wear makeup, bro. (laughs) You know. But if she starts to do like this, and, and get the light just right, 'cause it's like a damn- I have to scroll up to make a tea. (laughs) ... it's a full on spiderweb. (laughs) 'Cause that part of the glass won't work anymore. Yeah.

   24. JVJamie Vernon9:04

       What about the other way they're going with the FlexPhone? 'Cause this-

   25. JRJoe Rogan9:07

       Oh, now here we go.

   26. JVJamie Vernon9:07

       This isn't the one that broke, but this is another one that came out at CES too.

   27. JRJoe Rogan9:11

       Mm.

   28. JVJamie Vernon9:12

       That they recalled. Samsung recalled the ones that are supposed to come out this week.

   29. JRJoe Rogan9:14

       They recalled all of them, huh?

   30. JVJamie Vernon9:15

       Yeah, they had an unreleased date, and now they're not gonna... Who knows when they're gonna come out?
5. 16:26 – 18:29

   Car wreck stories to Uber: hydroplaning, taxis, and how rideshares change risk

   1. JRJoe Rogan16:26

      ... "Cool. Uh, I guess I'm doing two cars." Geez. So he just left the cars there. (laughs) Fixed this one later. Totally by slamming into a car that was just finished at a body shop. Yeah. It was, uh, aggressive. Serendipitous. Uber is that guy's friend. Yeah. (laughs) You should get on, get on the Uber. Yeah. I love Uber. I wonder how much that's preventing drunk driving. I just had this conversation. Yeah? I think what, you know, Mothers Against Drunk Driving, MADD, you know. Maybe even the government should, like, kick in and go like, you know, "These guys are saving lives." Yeah, for sure. Yeah, 'cause i- if you're not doing that, then you're drinking and driving most likely. Most likely. Yeah. So it p- it gives you a real easy option. Yeah. Yeah. And it's so quick, it's so convenient. Mm-hmm. Yeah. You don't have to pull cash out. It's, it's great. It's kind of a weird organization though, both of them. It's like they're trying to figure out if they're employees- Right. Right, right. ... or if they're contractors. Yeah. And then there's like this fact that you're just getting into someone's car, you don't know them. Yeah. You know, I mean, you assume that you get a limo- Mm-hmm. ... that there's a background check. Right. If you get a cab, you're living on the edge. (laughs) Yeah. Taxi driver. Right? That's what I was gonna say, but you never know. Yeah, exactly. Taxi driver. Robert De Niro. 100... You looking at me? Yeah. (laughs) You're talking to motherfucking psychopath. Right. (laughs) Right? He... That's what you, like...

   2. But you would get c- like, New York City cab drivers, you'd get characters. You'd get either, like, uh, angry white dudes or a, like, uh-

   3. JRJon Reep17:48

      Yeah.

   4. JRJoe Rogan17:49

      ... guys who come from other countries that could tell you cool stories.

   5. JRJon Reep17:51

      Yeah.

   6. JRJoe Rogan17:52

      You'd get, like, characters-

   7. JRJon Reep17:53

      Yeah, yeah.

   8. JRJoe Rogan17:53

      ... with w- weird smells and shit.

   9. JRJon Reep17:54

      Yeah, crazy smells, lots of weird music, p- possibly a voodoo doll.

   10. JRJoe Rogan17:59

       But now, you know what you get when you get into a New York City cab driver? You get advertisements. You get screens.

   11. JRJon Reep18:04

       Mm-hmm.

   12. JRJoe Rogan18:04

       Like, they have little laptops facing you.

   13. JRJon Reep18:05

       Yeah, yeah.

   14. JRJoe Rogan18:06

       And they play these g- these-

   15. JRJon Reep18:07

       With credit machine back there.

   16. JRJoe Rogan18:09

       Yeah. And they play these scr- these videos about things, about restaurants and this and that-

   17. JRJon Reep18:14

       Yeah.

   18. JRJoe Rogan18:14

       ... and shows, Barbie shows.

   19. JRJon Reep18:15

       That's probably has its own network at this point.

   20. JRJoe Rogan18:18

       Yeah.

   21. JRJon Reep18:18

       Like, just the cab network.

   22. JRJoe Rogan18:20

       It is kinda, right? It must be.

   23. JRJon Reep18:22

       Uh, yeah. I've seen, uh-

   24. JRJoe Rogan18:23

       Each company probably has their own little loop that they play.

   25. JRJon Reep18:24

       Jimmy Fallon, I mean, uh, I've seen him on there many times-

   26. JRJoe Rogan18:27

       Yeah.

   27. JRJon Reep18:27

       ... doing stuff.

6. 18:29 – 23:39

   Releases, entrapment, and prison voting: from ‘Taxi Cab Confessions’ to elections

   1. JRJoe Rogan18:29

      Remember they used to do that HBO show, Taxi Cab Confessions?

   2. JRJon Reep18:31

      Yeah. Mm-hmm. Yeah.

   3. JRJoe Rogan18:32

      That was crazy.

   4. JRJon Reep18:33

      I enjoyed that.

   5. JRJoe Rogan18:34

      I was like, "Who the fuck is signing this release?"

   6. JRJon Reep18:37

      (laughs)

   7. JRJoe Rogan18:37

      "What are you giving these people?"

   8. JRJon Reep18:38

      Yeah.

   9. JRJoe Rogan18:39

      (laughs)

   10. JRJon Reep18:40

       It's like, "I just wanna be on TV." And they would say the worst stuff.

   11. JRJoe Rogan18:43

       Like, if you're fucked up on coke and you get into a, a, a, a cab and you start just talking shit about all the crazy sexual stuff that you like.

   12. JRJon Reep18:51

       (laughs) Yeah.

   13. JRJoe Rogan18:51

       And then, and then afterwards they're like, "Hey, you gonna be on HBO?" You're like, "Fuck yeah, I am."

   14. JRJon Reep18:55

       (laughs)

   15. JRJoe Rogan18:55

       "You sign that thing." And then you wake up in the morning, "No!"

   16. JRJon Reep18:57

       "What did I do?"

   17. JRJoe Rogan18:59

       That's true.

   18. JRJon Reep19:00

       You don't know who to call.

   19. JRJoe Rogan19:01

       (laughs)

   20. JRJon Reep19:01

       You give them that, this, uh, this waiver at the right time.

   21. JRJoe Rogan19:04

       Yeah.

   22. JRJon Reep19:04

       That's, that's gold. That's a good move.

   23. JRJoe Rogan19:06

       How does that work?

   24. JRJon Reep19:08

       (laughs)

   25. JRJoe Rogan19:08

       D- like, does that waiver count-

   26. JRJon Reep19:08

       Well, you don't tell before they get there.

   27. JRJoe Rogan19:09

       ... if you're hammered?

   28. JRJon Reep19:11

       I, I, I... There's gotta be some loophole.

   29. JRJoe Rogan19:13

       Like, I always wondered about that, um, the Catch a Predator show.

   30. JRJon Reep19:18

       Yeah.
7. 23:39 – 35:57

   Solitary confinement, ‘deadnaming,’ and transgender competition controversies

   1. JRJoe Rogan23:39

      Confinement is so weird.'Cause, like, we're just-

   2. JRJon Reep23:42

      (coughs)

   3. JRJoe Rogan23:42

      ... we're killing you, but we're just killing you with nature. We're gonna kill you with old age and shitty nutrition.

   4. JRJon Reep23:46

      Mm-hmm. Yeah.

   5. JRJoe Rogan23:47

      They're just gonna keep you in a box.

   6. JRJon Reep23:48

      Kill you with your own brain.

   7. JRJoe Rogan23:49

      Isn't that weird?

   8. JRJon Reep23:50

      Yeah.

   9. JRJoe Rogan23:50

      It's like, it might be more cruel to put someone into a small cage for 23 hours a day than it is to just kill them.

   10. JRJon Reep23:57

       I think so.

   11. JRJoe Rogan23:58

       Yeah.

   12. JRJon Reep23:58

       If you just kill your child, but with-

   13. JRJoe Rogan24:00

       (coughs) Yeah, you're suffering.

   14. JRJon Reep24:02

       ... something laying about it.

   15. JRJoe Rogan24:02

       It's suffering. Yeah, 100%.

   16. JRJon Reep24:04

       Yeah. Yeah.

   17. JRJoe Rogan24:04

       100%. Like, that was, uh, my, my take on, uh, Chelsea Manning, who's now free.

   18. JRJon Reep24:11

       Yeah?

   19. JRJoe Rogan24:11

       Like, they tortured her. They tortured her.

   20. JRJon Reep24:13

       They did?

   21. JRJoe Rogan24:14

       Yeah, she was naked in a cage w- uh, by herself for years.

   22. JRJon Reep24:19

       Oh.

   23. JRJoe Rogan24:19

       I think it was, like, uh, uh, the, the whole... She was in solitary. We're gonna have to find this out once Jamie's done with this search.

   24. JVJamie Vernon24:25

       I'm just, I'm, like, looking around. There's, uh, the one in California's male only where Manson is, it's got 3500. There's one in-

   25. JRJoe Rogan24:31

       Wow.

   26. JVJamie Vernon24:31

       ... Illinois, medium security, it's got 1000.

   27. JRJon Reep24:33

       Man-

   28. JRJoe Rogan24:33

       Okay, so-

   29. JRJon Reep24:34

   25. JRJon Reep36:17

       Donald Jr.

   26. JRJoe Rogan36:17

9. 41:13 – 45:41

   Following ‘problem’ celebrities and the R. Kelly rabbit hole: ‘hog tie’ and ‘Real Talk’

   1. JRJoe Rogan41:13

      What's really funny is people get mad at you for certain people you follow.

   2. JRJon Reep41:16

      Yeah.

   3. JRJoe Rogan41:16

      Like, people will be like, "You gotta stop following R. Kelly." No.

   4. JRJon Reep41:20

      (laughs)

   5. JRJoe Rogan41:20

      Don't tell me what to do.

   6. JRJon Reep41:21

      Right. (laughs) That's first of all.

   7. JRJoe Rogan41:23

      Yeah. First of all, don't tell me what to do.

   8. JRJon Reep41:24

      Don't ever do that.

   9. JRJoe Rogan41:24

      Second of all, what am I doing? Am I boosting up his profile?

   10. JRJon Reep41:28

       Yeah.

   11. JRJoe Rogan41:28

       He's fucking R. Kelly, okay?

   12. JRJon Reep41:29

       I wanna know.

   13. JRJoe Rogan41:30

       Doesn't matter if I follow him if I don't, I wanna know how crazy he is.

   14. JRJon Reep41:33

       (laughs) Yeah, that's right.

   15. JRJoe Rogan41:35

       Dude, did you see Tyron, (laughs) Tyron Woodley? UFC, uh, w- w- top welterweight former champion had a thing on his Instagram page of him watching R. Kelly getting interviewed where he was, he was, who was denying that he knows how to hog tie people. (laughs)

   16. JRJon Reep41:53

       (laughs)

   17. JRJoe Rogan41:53

       (laughs) And Tyron's laughing at him. Play this, play this so we can hear.

   18. JRJon Reep41:56

       Oh, in this interview?

   19. JRJoe Rogan41:57

       Yeah, this is great.

   20. JRJon Reep41:58

       This shit ain't funny but, dawg.

   21. JRJoe Rogan42:00

       (laughs)

   22. JRJon Reep42:02

       (laughs)

   23. JVJamie Vernon42:03

       I hog tied her.

   24. JRJoe Rogan42:06

   25. JVJamie Vernon42:06

       I don't know how to hog tie people.

   27. JRJon Reep42:11

       (laughs)

   28. JVJamie Vernon42:11

       I don't know how to hog tie people.

    Weird Al longevity and YouTube fame: makeup influencers, Coachella rumors, and algorithms

    1. JRJon Reep45:41

       Have you seen-

    2. JVJamie Vernon45:42

       Had a show apparently.

    3. JRJon Reep45:42

       ... Weird Al Yankovic's Trapped in a Drive-Through?

    4. JRJoe Rogan45:46

       No.

    5. JRJon Reep45:46

       It's really good. No. It's the same length as R. Kelly's Trapped in the Closet. And it's the same... And it's all about being trapped in a McDonald's drive-through 'cause the person in front of him is taking too long.

    6. JRJoe Rogan45:59

       Oh.

    7. JRJon Reep46:00

       And it's like... In fact, he did the whole song, is, is what I've got, right?

    8. JRJoe Rogan46:04

       Respect.

    9. JRJon Reep46:04

       Yeah. Yeah.

    10. JRJoe Rogan46:04

        Respect.

    11. JRJon Reep46:05

        Yeah.

    12. JRJoe Rogan46:05

        Commitment.

    13. JRJon Reep46:06

        (laughs)

    14. JVJamie Vernon46:07

        It's animated, too. It's a whole cartoon.

    15. JRJoe Rogan46:08

        It's animated?

    16. JVJamie Vernon46:09

        Yeah.

    17. JRJoe Rogan46:09

        Oh my God.

    18. JRJon Reep46:10

        Hmm.

    19. JRJoe Rogan46:11

        That's hilarious.

    20. JRJon Reep46:11

        Which one is this?

    21. JVJamie Vernon46:12

        This is... R. Kelly: (singing) So what do you want to do?

    22. JRJoe Rogan46:16

        Weird Al has been around for a long time, man.

    23. JVJamie Vernon46:19

        For ever, yeah. Yeah.

    24. JRJon Reep46:19

        Mm-hmm.

    25. JRJoe Rogan46:19

        I mean, I remember when Michael Jackson's Beat It came out-

    26. JVJamie Vernon46:22

        Yeah.

    27. JRJoe Rogan46:22

        ... and he had Eat It.

    28. JRJon Reep46:23

        Eat It?

    29. JRJoe Rogan46:24

        Yeah.

    30. JRJon Reep46:24

        Yeah.
11. 50:37 – 55:15

    Fight videos, public cameras, and the case for (and horror of) zero privacy

    1. JRJoe Rogan50:37

       That's like the argument with Facebook, too, is that they're se- ... They're trying to figure out what gets people to engage. And so the algorithm realized what you engage with, and then that's what they show you more of. And what gets people to engage is shit that makes them mad.

    2. JRJon Reep50:52

       Yeah. Yeah. Totally. It keeps me wanting to ... I watch-

    3. JRJoe Rogan50:57

       Yeah.

    4. JRJon Reep50:57

       ... fight videos on Facebook all day.

    5. JRJoe Rogan50:59

       Do you really?

    6. JRJon Reep51:00

       Well, just like, you know, like brawls in a schoolyard or like, you know, just ... It, it just keeps going. I'm like, "Oh, man, what's gonna happen here?"

    7. JRJoe Rogan51:07

       (sighs) Those give me anxiety.

    8. JRJon Reep51:08

       It's i- ... Do they? Yeah.

    9. JRJoe Rogan51:10

       Little bit.

    10. JRJon Reep51:11

        (laughs)

    11. JRJoe Rogan51:12

        Yeah.

    12. JRJon Reep51:12

        Well, you know, I'm not ... Uh, I don't do much of the fighting, so when I see it, it's like, "Oh, this is interesting. Who's gonna win this one?" And then I like it when the, you know, when the, the underdog wins.

    13. JRJoe Rogan51:20

        Yeah, I enjoy watching it.

    14. JRJon Reep51:21

        Yeah.

    15. JRJoe Rogan51:22

        I mean, I, I will watch them. I wa- ... I watch the dudes-

    16. JRJon Reep51:24

        Not if it's to- ... Like, it's obviously someone's about to die.

    17. JRJoe Rogan51:27

        Right.

    18. JRJon Reep51:27

        Like that.

    19. JRJoe Rogan51:27

        Someone getting really badly hurt.

    20. JRJon Reep51:28

        A good, like, couple punches to the face.

    21. JRJoe Rogan51:30

        Well, the best ones are when someone deserves it.

    22. JRJon Reep51:32

        Yes.

    23. JRJoe Rogan51:33

        So when ... Those are the ones you enjoy.

    24. JRJon Reep51:34

        Yeah.

    25. JRJoe Rogan51:34

        When someone's being a real dick-

    26. JRJon Reep51:35

        Yeah.

    27. JRJoe Rogan51:36

        ... and someone's like, "Listen, man, you're being a dick."

    28. JRJon Reep51:38

        Yeah.

    29. JRJoe Rogan51:38

        "So please stop."

    30. JRJon Reep51:38

        I just saw one. Uh, it was a guy on a ... It was a-
12. 55:15 – 1:00:19

    Wolves, reintroduction politics, and why naming animals changes how we treat them

    1. JRJoe Rogan55:15

       It's, it's also weird, like, what we'll accept people dying from. Like, uh, I was listening to this podcast where, uh, this wolf lady, she's a wolf biologist. She was talking to my friend Steve Rinella on The Meat Eater podcast, and, uh, she was talking about how we accept people getting killed by mountain lions.

    2. JRJon Reep55:34

       Yeah.

    3. JRJoe Rogan55:34

       Like, it's, it happens. It happened twice last year.

    4. JRJon Reep55:37

       Right.

    5. JRJoe Rogan55:38

       It happens. It's not, it's not really common, but it happens. But the moment that people start getting killed by wolves in America, people are going to get furious.

    6. JRJon Reep55:46

       Really?

    7. JRJoe Rogan55:47

       Yeah. Because they reintroduced wol- wolves-

    8. JRJon Reep55:49

       Oh, that's right.

    9. JRJoe Rogan55:50

       ... in 1994. That's right.

    10. JRJon Reep55:51

        Oh, so that, so that's, uh, they're outraged that we did that too.

    11. JRJoe Rogan55:55

        Yeah. Well, she was basically, they were saying, it was, there was two really interesting things about the podcast, a l- a lot of really interesting things, but two that really stood out was one, that the, these people, they, they reintroduced these animals in 1994. But there were already some wolves here.

    12. JRJon Reep56:10

        Yeah.

    13. JRJoe Rogan56:10

        And the wolves would have probably ev- eventually made it down there.

    14. JRJon Reep56:14

        It was in Yellowstone, right?

    15. JRJoe Rogan56:15

        (clears throat) Yeah.

    16. JRJon Reep56:15

        Yeah.

    17. JRJoe Rogan56:16

        Yeah. But that we aren't... Be- because the fact that they brought them in, and it wasn't just a natural fixture-

    18. JRJon Reep56:23

        Oh.

    19. JRJoe Rogan56:23

        ... we have this thing like, "Oh, somebody ruin this."

    20. JRJon Reep56:26

        Yeah.

    21. JRJoe Rogan56:26

        "Somebody fucked this up."

    22. JRJon Reep56:27

        Yeah.

    23. JRJoe Rogan56:28

        And the other thing is that they number them instead of name them.

    24. JRJon Reep56:31

        Mm-hmm.

    25. JRJoe Rogan56:32

        Because if you name them, it's like, "Oh, there's Dolores. Oh, Dolores killed some sheep. We're gonna have to take her out." No, we can't kill Dolores.

    26. JRJon Reep56:38

        Not Dolores.

    27. JRJoe Rogan56:39

        But if it's-

    28. JRJon Reep56:39

        And number three.

    29. JRJoe Rogan56:40

        ... Wolf 157.

    30. JRJon Reep56:41

        Right. Yeah. Yeah, that's true. It's like inmates in prison, you just give them numbers.

    Jon’s 1990 Russia trip: youth diplomacy program and accidental black-market ‘trading’

    1. JRJon Reep1:00:19

       1990.

    2. JRJoe Rogan1:00:20

       Yeah?

    3. JRJon Reep1:00:21

       Right before communism fell. I was there for three weeks.

    4. JRJoe Rogan1:00:23

       Whoa, before communism fell.

    5. JRJon Reep1:00:26

       Yeah, yeah.

    6. JRJoe Rogan1:00:26

       What were you doing?

    7. JRJon Reep1:00:26

       Gorbachev was, uh, in power.

    8. JRJoe Rogan1:00:28

       Whoa.

    9. JRJon Reep1:00:29

       Yeah. Uh, it was just-

    10. JRJoe Rogan1:00:30

        Were you a spy?

    11. JRJon Reep1:00:31

        Yeah. Mm-hmm.

    12. JVJamie Vernon1:00:32

        Ромеnка, как дела? Я не понимаю русский язык.»

    13. JRJoe Rogan1:00:34

        Wow, that's pretty good.

    14. JRJon Reep1:00:35

        (laughs)

    15. JRJoe Rogan1:00:35

        What'd you just say?

    16. JRJon Reep1:00:36

        I said, "Hello. Uh, I don't understand. Please and thank you." (laughs)

    17. JRJoe Rogan1:00:41

        (laughs)

    18. JVJamie Vernon1:00:41

        (laughs)

    19. JRJon Reep1:00:41

        That's, that's the words I remember. Uh, it was this program founded by Dwight D. Eisenhower in the '40s of, uh, it's called People to People, where they, they send the youth of America to other countries to hang out with that youth to promote world peace, and that's all it is. And certain kids from high schools are selected, and you, they go, you go to Washington DC first for three, you know, for three days, they, they, they debrief you, and then you go to another country. And ours was Russia. It was awesome. I had, I had a great time.

    20. JRJoe Rogan1:01:08

        Wow.

    21. JRJon Reep1:01:08

        Yeah.And, uh, I told Bert Kreischer that too, you know, 'cause he has the whole machine story.

    22. JRJoe Rogan1:01:13

        Mm-hmm.

    23. JRJon Reep1:01:14

        I said, "I feel like I can't tell my Russian story because you've, you've owned it so much with your machine story that if I do anything about this then it's gonna look like..." "Oh, okay, you too, huh?" "Yeah, you got a Russian story."

    24. JRJoe Rogan1:01:26

        Then you should tell it.

    25. JRJon Reep1:01:27

        Yeah.

    26. JRJoe Rogan1:01:27

        Yeah. People wanna hear it. They'll understand. They don't think you're a thief.

    27. JRJon Reep1:01:30

        I kinda got in trouble 'cause I was trading illegally on the black market over there.

    28. JRJoe Rogan1:01:34

        What were you doing?

    29. JRJon Reep1:01:34

        Not on purpose. I didn't know I was doing it, um, because you know-

    30. JRJoe Rogan1:01:38

        Likely story. (laughs)
