Joe Rogan Experience #1298 - Neal Brennan

1. 0:01 – 4:15

   Laser eavesdropping, sound weapons, and the reality of high-end surveillance

   1. NBNeal Brennan0:01

      Let me sign my waiver.

   2. JRJoe Rogan0:03

      Sign the waiver, dude, bre-

   3. NBNeal Brennan0:04

      Before I ...

   4. JRJoe Rogan0:05

      We're live.

   5. NBNeal Brennan0:06

      Great.

   6. JRJoe Rogan0:06

      While you sign that sound?

   7. NBNeal Brennan0:07

      Great, I'm glad that people are seeing me-

   8. JRJoe Rogan0:09

      As Neal Brennan, sign there.

   9. NBNeal Brennan0:10

      ... as witne- ... Everyone will be a notary, notary public.

   10. JRJoe Rogan0:13

       I wonder if they can li- ... If there's, uh, software that can listen to the sound your pen is making and figure out the lines you're drawing. You know, they have, um, technology now where when people are speaking in a room with a w- with a window, that it c-

   11. NBNeal Brennan0:28

       That they can get rid of the window noise?

   12. JRJoe Rogan0:29

       They can ... No, they can tune into the vibrations of the window from the sound of your voice and pick up everything that's being said in the room.

   13. NBNeal Brennan0:38

       I heard that there's a Netfl- ... You ... Because before ... I mean-

   14. JRJoe Rogan0:43

       (laughs)

   15. NBNeal Brennan0:43

       ... Netflix doesn't give people ratings, but there's a way that they're ... You can get s- ... They can gauge reflections off of wi- ... Some weird fuckin' technology where ... And it's fairly accurate.

   16. JRJoe Rogan0:58

       Reflections off of windows?

   17. NBNeal Brennan0:59

       Ref- ... Yes, I don't ... Someone ... It ... This is secondhand, yeah.

   18. JRJoe Rogan1:02

       In, like, cities or something?

   19. NBNeal Brennan1:02

       Like, secondhand. Not ... And it's, like, s- ... I believe it's sound waves.

   20. JRJoe Rogan1:05

       Hmm.

   21. NBNeal Brennan1:06

       Um ...

   22. JRJoe Rogan1:07

       Oh, wow.

   23. NBNeal Brennan1:08

       Yeah.

   24. JRJoe Rogan1:08

       How the ... What are they monitoring? Jamie's got something.

   25. NBNeal Brennan1:10

       I have no idea. Jamie, what do you got, Jamie?

   26. JVJamie Vernon1:11

       We can buy this right now if you want.

   27. NBNeal Brennan1:12

       Jamie?

   28. JRJoe Rogan1:13

       Long-range laser listening device.

   29. NBNeal Brennan1:15

       (laughs)

   30. JVJamie Vernon1:16

       (laughs)
2. 4:15 – 6:16

   Living on the cloud: trust, failure modes, and tech dependency

   1. NBNeal Brennan4:15

      'Cause that's what's gonna happen. The ama- ... Do you use the cloud?

   2. JRJoe Rogan4:19

      Yes.

   3. NBNeal Brennan4:20

      I- ... (sighs)

   4. JRJoe Rogan4:21

      I know, yeah.

   5. NBNeal Brennan4:22

      Like, ah-

   6. JRJoe Rogan4:23

      I don't use it for important stuff.

   7. NBNeal Brennan4:24

      Yeah.

   8. JRJoe Rogan4:24

      But I use it for, like, my apps.

   9. NBNeal Brennan4:27

      Yeah.

   10. JRJoe Rogan4:27

       You know, my apps are backed up in the cloud. Recordings are backed up in the cloud, sets, sets that I'm doing.

   11. NBNeal Brennan4:32

       Yeah.

   12. JRJoe Rogan4:32

       Notes, notes are backed up.

   13. NBNeal Brennan4:32

       But there's, like, photos or video. It's just a bit like-

   14. JRJoe Rogan4:35

       Not much.

   15. NBNeal Brennan4:35

       I don't know, man.

   16. JRJoe Rogan4:36

       Yeah.

   17. JVJamie Vernon4:36

       It gets fucking crazy.

   18. JRJoe Rogan4:38

       I mean, we're, we're, we're getting now into some very strange place with the cloud, with stuff being just-

   19. NBNeal Brennan4:43

       Yes.

   20. JRJoe Rogan4:44

       ... in the air and p-

   21. NBNeal Brennan4:44

       And the amount of trust-

   22. JRJoe Rogan4:46

       Mm-hmm.

   23. NBNeal Brennan4:46

       ... it takes, uh, the presumption that we'll just never run out of energy.

   24. JRJoe Rogan4:52

       Mm-hmm.

   25. NBNeal Brennan4:52

       And we'll never run out of the ability to tap into the cloud. It's like, I don't ... That seems presumptiona- ... I- ... I'm not even, like a doomsday person, but I just feel like it's like the difference between h- how men dress in public and how women dr- ... Like, on a night out, women are wearing heels and guys are dressed in case they have to fight.

   26. JVJamie Vernon5:09

       (laughs)

   27. JRJoe Rogan5:10

       (laughs)

   28. NBNeal Brennan5:10

       I'm still ... Like, we will do the thing in the mirror where we're like, "Ah!"

   29. JVJamie Vernon5:13

       Yeah.

   30. NBNeal Brennan5:13

       "I'll fucking ... (laughs) I'll fuck you up." (laughs)
3. 6:16 – 9:35

   Catastrophe resets and digital fragility: lost civilizations to unreadable data

   1. JRJoe Rogan6:16

      Well, um, this guy, Graham Hancock.

   2. NBNeal Brennan6:19

      Yeah.

   3. JRJoe Rogan6:19

      This guy's been on my show several times, and he was just on recently. And he's one of the main proponents of this theory that something somewhere around 12,800 years ago hit the Earth and fucked up everything, and probably reset civilization, killed off the vast majority of us.

   4. NBNeal Brennan6:34

      12,000 years ago.

   5. JRJoe Rogan6:35

      12,800 years-

   6. NBNeal Brennan6:35

      That's not that long ago.

   7. JRJoe Rogan6:36

      Not, not that-

   8. NBNeal Brennan6:37

      Yeah.

   9. JRJoe Rogan6:37

      ... long ago at all.

   10. NBNeal Brennan6:38

       No.

   11. JRJoe Rogan6:38

       It corresponds with the end of the Ice Age. There's a lot of physical evidence for it. And increasingly, we're seeing, um, more and more evidence in terms of, um, ancient cultures that existed far before tw-, uh, 12,800 years ago that they really didn't understand. That, they thought people were just hunter-gatherers back then, and now they're finding evidence of things like ... There's a place called Göbekli Tepe, which is a giant ... These huge m- monolithic structures that are made out of stone, carved, and like huge columns-

   12. NBNeal Brennan7:04

       Yeah.

   13. JRJoe Rogan7:04

       ... yeah, that, that don't seem like they were made by hunter-gatherers. It seems like there was probably some sort of a lost civilization. And they know that this all happened somewhere around that time, somewhere around 12,000 years ago. So, um, it can happen again. And if it does happen again, all our stuff is on digital now, which is even weirder. It's, it's weirder than books, right? We have books, but the vast majority of most of the data that we all keep and share, we share on phones and on computers.

   14. NBNeal Brennan7:32

       Yeah.

   15. JRJoe Rogan7:32

       And we can't read it. We can't read it without com- programs.

   16. NBNeal Brennan7:35

       I don't know the first-

   17. JRJoe Rogan7:35

       Without software.

   18. NBNeal Brennan7:36

       ... thing about com- Um, do you know what I mean?

   19. JRJoe Rogan7:38

       Yeah.

   20. NBNeal Brennan7:38

       Like, I don't know anything about ... I was, I was talking last night, like, I don't know much about my, the different- the, uh, the level of education women have about their reproductive organs versus men.

   21. JRJoe Rogan7:51

       Oh, yeah.

   22. NBNeal Brennan7:51

       Like, my, my balls, I know about my balls. (laughs) I know that the medical term is testicles.

   23. JRJoe Rogan7:58

       Hmm. Testes.

   24. NBNeal Brennan7:59

       That's about it, Joe.

   25. JRJoe Rogan8:00

       You don't get them hot.

   26. NBNeal Brennan8:01

       (laughs)

   27. JRJoe Rogan8:01

       If you get them hot, it's bad.

   28. NBNeal Brennan8:02

       Yeah. Again, that's like, that's like a child's (laughs) -

   29. JRJoe Rogan8:06

       Yeah.

   30. NBNeal Brennan8:06

       Do you know what I mean? (laughs)
4. 9:35 – 12:32

   Sex, stigma, and comedy: Gerard ‘coming out a little’ and why it’s (not) a big deal

   1. NBNeal Brennan9:35

      Did you, uh, speaking of that, uh, did you see the thing about Gerard?

   2. JRJoe Rogan9:39

      No.

   3. NBNeal Brennan9:40

      The, I don't, if, if you wanna bring it up.

   4. JRJoe Rogan9:42

      What?

   5. NBNeal Brennan9:42

      But he basically came out a little on HBO.

   6. JRJoe Rogan9:47

      Came out a little.

   7. NBNeal Brennan9:47

      Came out a little to his mom, said, "I've had, uh, sexual experiences with men."

   8. JRJoe Rogan9:52

      Uh-oh.

   9. NBNeal Brennan9:53

      Um, and, uh, it's, uh, it's just like, all right. (laughs)

   10. JRJoe Rogan9:57

       Was she cool with it?

   11. NBNeal Brennan9:58

       Yeah.

   12. JRJoe Rogan9:58

       Well, that's good.

   13. NBNeal Brennan9:58

       She was cool with it.

   14. JRJoe Rogan9:59

       All right. Well, there you go.

   15. NBNeal Brennan9:59

       Yeah. That, that's the thing. It ... When I ... People are like, "What do you think?" I'm like, "I don't ..."

   16. JRJoe Rogan10:03

       (coughs)

   17. NBNeal Brennan10:03

       That ... Sexual preference at this point to me is about as interesting as like your workout regimen. Like, I just don't care.

   18. JRJoe Rogan10:09

       Yeah.

   19. NBNeal Brennan10:09

       Like, what are you doing? There you go. Cool.

   20. JRJoe Rogan10:10

       You know what I care about? Are you funny?

   21. NBNeal Brennan10:12

       Are you funny and are you cool?

   22. JRJoe Rogan10:13

       Yeah. Cool. Perfect, perfect.

   23. NBNeal Brennan10:13

       And, and like do we have shit to talk about?

   24. JRJoe Rogan10:16

       Right.

   25. NBNeal Brennan10:16

       Great.

   26. JRJoe Rogan10:17

       Yeah.

   27. NBNeal Brennan10:17

       Uh, I don't, I couldn't care less whose, what type of hand you like jerking off. You know what I mean? Like-

   28. JRJoe Rogan10:23

       I think it's an advantage-

   29. NBNeal Brennan10:23

       ... what kind of mouth.

   30. JRJoe Rogan10:25

       ... with some guys with ... Like Tim Dillon, I think it's an advantage with his act that he's gay.
5. 12:32 – 17:34

   Pitching a gay action blockbuster: Cruise/Travolta, audience buy-in, and double standards

   1. NBNeal Brennan12:32

      You know what would be a hilarious movie idea? A gay couple, T- Tom Cruise and, uh-

   2. JRJoe Rogan12:40

      John Travolta.

   3. NBNeal Brennan12:41

      ... John Travolta. John Travolta gets kidnapped-

   4. JRJoe Rogan12:43

      (gasps)

   5. NBNeal Brennan12:43

      ... and gay Tom Cruise has to save his gay husband, John Travolta. And, but other than that, it's a real action movie.

   6. JRJoe Rogan12:51

      Wow.

   7. NBNeal Brennan12:51

      It's just gay. (laughs)

   8. JRJoe Rogan12:53

      I like it.

   9. NBNeal Brennan12:53

      It... Wouldn't that be fucking cool?

   10. JRJoe Rogan12:54

       I like it.

   11. NBNeal Brennan12:55

       Like, just a straight ga-... If anyone out there's a screenwriter, th- have at it, 'cause I'm never gonna write it.

   12. JRJoe Rogan13:01

       Do you think... Would that fly? Would people enjoy that?

   13. NBNeal Brennan13:03

       I think-

   14. JRJoe Rogan13:03

       Like, if it was really good, like John Wick style.

   15. NBNeal Brennan13:06

       I think it would. I really think it would. If it was... If the guy just ki-... It's not like gay guys are, like, effete and offe-... You know, I know plenty of, like, rough gay guys that'll whoop your ass. Like-

   16. JRJoe Rogan13:16

       Bears, bro.

   17. NBNeal Brennan13:18

       Bears, bro. Grr.

   18. JRJoe Rogan13:19

       (laughs)

   19. NBNeal Brennan13:19

       They got, (laughs) they got their own growl. Uh, that's how fucking bad these guys are. Uh, but-

   20. JRJoe Rogan13:24

       Yeah, I think it could work.

   21. NBNeal Brennan13:25

       ... to really... It would be fucking so cool.

   22. JRJoe Rogan13:27

       Yeah.

   23. NBNeal Brennan13:28

       Like, and you just go, "Yeah." 'Cause that's how I feel with someone like Gerard coming out. I'm like, "I don't ca-... Okay."

   24. JRJoe Rogan13:33

       Yeah.

   25. NBNeal Brennan13:33

       I don't... It's never come up. We've, we've been good friends for a decade. Just never came up.

   26. JRJoe Rogan13:38

       Yeah.

   27. NBNeal Brennan13:38

       Like, it ju-... He didn't seem that interested in women, but I do- also don't think he's not interested. He's just maybe a little eh.

   28. JRJoe Rogan13:44

       There's definitely a spectrum, right?

   29. NBNeal Brennan13:46

       Yeah.

   30. JRJoe Rogan13:46

       And some people are just uh.
6. 17:34 – 19:23

   Comedy club culture wars: The Comedy Cellar, Louis CK backlash, and scandal fatigue

   1. JRJoe Rogan17:34

      Dude, I hear that the h- The Comedy Cellar is, like, seriously has a social justice warrior infestation. Like, they need to, like, spray the place.

   2. NBNeal Brennan17:42

      Oh, I don't... I mean, when I've been there, it hasn't been like that.

   3. JRJoe Rogan17:44

      That's why we're here.

   4. NBNeal Brennan17:45

      But I mean, they've been... There have been people writing about it. There have been w-... I mean, it's like The Comedy Cellar is, like, the main hub of culture now.

   5. JRJoe Rogan17:52

      Mm-hmm.

   6. NBNeal Brennan17:52

      It's like-

   7. JRJoe Rogan17:52

      It's the main hub of wokeness?

   8. NBNeal Brennan17:54

      Yeah, I mean, it... But it's also, like, the, the main battlefield of wokeness-

   9. JRJoe Rogan17:57

      Mm-hmm.

   10. NBNeal Brennan17:57

       ... where it's like, "Louie came and there were protesters."

   11. JRJoe Rogan18:01

       Ah.

   12. NBNeal Brennan18:01

       "And then I couldn't sit at the table." And I... Because-

   13. JRJoe Rogan18:04

       Fuck you.

   14. NBNeal Brennan18:04

       And it's like, all right. I mean...

   15. JRJoe Rogan18:06

       Yeah.

   16. NBNeal Brennan18:06

       I don't think it's-

   17. JRJoe Rogan18:07

       Pull your dick out.

   18. NBNeal Brennan18:08

       Yeah, exactly.

   19. JRJoe Rogan18:09

       Some girl told Lo- Louie to pull her dick out and she was a hero. I was, I was tw- quoting all these tweets, uh, that were-

   20. NBNeal Brennan18:14

       Yeah.

   21. JRJoe Rogan18:14

       ... talking about it and articles that were written. Hero. She was heroic.

   22. NBNeal Brennan18:19

       I think-

   23. JRJoe Rogan18:19

       Okay.

   24. NBNeal Brennan18:19

       ... that, I think, someone sent me a Louis article today, I think there's just fatigue at this point.

   25. JRJoe Rogan18:23

       Yes.

   26. NBNeal Brennan18:24

       I think people are just, like, t- like, "What's he..." I don't, yeah, okay.

   27. JRJoe Rogan18:26

       Like, try to find a new Stormy Daniels article.

   28. NBNeal Brennan18:29

       Yeah.

   29. JRJoe Rogan18:29

       Everybody's, like, "Enough."

   30. NBNeal Brennan18:31

       Yeah.
7. 19:23 – 26:08

   Alabama abortion law: backlash dynamics, moral discomfort, and honest nuance

   1. JRJoe Rogan19:23

      What happened yesterday? There was a new abortion ruling, was it in Alabama?

   2. NBNeal Brennan19:28

      Yes.

   3. JRJoe Rogan19:29

      That, that literally-

   4. NBNeal Brennan19:30

      It's basically-

   5. JRJoe Rogan19:30

      ... outlawed.

   6. NBNeal Brennan19:31

      ... outlawed. I-

   7. JRJoe Rogan19:32

      Wow.

   8. NBNeal Brennan19:32

      ... personally believe it's gonna backfire.

   9. JRJoe Rogan19:34

      You think so?

   10. NBNeal Brennan19:35

       Yeah, 'cause I think people... The thing that, that's always been true is Republicans were against, uh, abortion, and they would go like, "We..." And they never got to repeal it. Right?

   11. JRJoe Rogan19:45

       Mm-hmm.

   12. NANarrator19:45

       Right.

   13. NBNeal Brennan19:46

       I think they're gonna repeal it, and then people are gonna go like, "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. This is crazy." If you don't want to get abortions, fine, but you can't, uh, change a law based on, a lot of times not even a plurality of, of, uh, you know, like, in general elections, like in the general presidential election. Like, it's not even the majority of the country that elects the president now.

   14. JRJoe Rogan20:07

       What did, who voted, was this something that the people of Alabama voted on?

   15. NBNeal Brennan20:11

       The, no, it's the, it's the, the government, like the, the state legislature.

   16. JRJoe Rogan20:15

       (inhales sharply) That is a slippery slope.

   17. NBNeal Brennan20:17

       Yeah.

   18. NANarrator20:17

       Oh, man.

   19. NBNeal Brennan20:17

       And it's like you're going, you're doing 99 years in jail if you get an ab- if you give an abortion or-

   20. JRJoe Rogan20:23

       Really?

   21. NBNeal Brennan20:23

       ... get one, yeah.

   22. JRJoe Rogan20:23

       That's what it is now?

   23. NBNeal Brennan20:24

       Yeah.

   24. JRJoe Rogan20:25

       Holy shit.

   25. NBNeal Brennan20:25

       That's what it's gonna, that's the law that they passed. I just personally believe that... I mean, I'm obviously hopeful, but it's a bit like, nah, that's too far. It's a bit like when they made Clinton testify and people were like, "Ah." That was too, that was like the, the, the, the too, too far of, uh, the, a line was crossed-

   26. JRJoe Rogan20:45

       Yeah.

   27. NBNeal Brennan20:45

       ... when they made Clinton testify about her sex life, and it was like, mm, we don't like that. We understand that you wanted to rebuke the guy-

   28. NANarrator20:51

       (coughs)

   29. NBNeal Brennan20:51

       ... but don't make the pres- And I feel like, I'm hoping, and I believe it's true, uh, that it will be too far a field for moderate people.

   30. JRJoe Rogan21:01

       (lips smack) I hope you're right.
8. 26:08 – 33:40

   Why Rogan books ‘cranks’: platforming, Ben Shapiro, and the case against deplatforming

   1. NBNeal Brennan26:08

      Uh, here's what I wanna talk about with you. The idea, 'cause whenever I tell people we're friends or that I go on your show, they're like, "How can you?" I'm like, first of all, 'cause you're a fucking good dude and have been a good dude for 27 years that I know of, to me. Um-

   2. JRJoe Rogan26:22

      Thank you.

   3. NBNeal Brennan26:23

      It doesn't mean you're always good, but whatever, you're always a good dude to me.

   4. JRJoe Rogan26:25

      (laughs)

   5. NBNeal Brennan26:25

      Every time I say ... Whatever, I don't fucking know your life. I don't know what you do outside of fucking Encino. Uh, the, uh ... And now the next question becomes, why do you have cranks on, or what people would consider cranks on the show? And you and I have talked about this a little bit off the show. Explain, because you are basically liberal.

   6. JRJoe Rogan26:45

      Yes.

   7. NBNeal Brennan26:47

      But you believe in having hardcore right wing people on because you like them personally or you like, you believe it's worth-

   8. JRJoe Rogan26:55

      Some of them I like personally, some of them it's worth having a conversation. Like, (coughs) Ben Shapiro is one that I had a long conversation with. He's one of the more controversial guys that I have on.

   9. NBNeal Brennan27:05

      Mm-hmm.

   10. JRJoe Rogan27:05

       Where people get upset at me and call me an alt-righter.

   11. NBNeal Brennan27:07

       Yeah.

   12. JRJoe Rogan27:07

       Which meanwhile, he's been attacked by the alt-right. You know, they, they've, I mean, he wears a yarmulke for Christ's sake.

   13. NBNeal Brennan27:14

       Mm-hmm.

   14. JRJoe Rogan27:14

       He's not alt-right, he's not a white supremacist by any stretch of the imagination. He was the number one target for anti-Semitic remarks in the entire world-

   15. NBNeal Brennan27:21

       'Cause he's a Jew.

   16. JRJoe Rogan27:22

       ... in 2016. Well, he's, that, there's that.

   17. NBNeal Brennan27:25

       (laughs)

   18. JRJoe Rogan27:25

       There's definitely that.

   19. NBNeal Brennan27:25

       Look at him, he's a Jew!

   20. JRJoe Rogan27:26

       But we had a d- an in-depth conversation, a very long one, about gay people.

   21. NBNeal Brennan27:32

       Yeah.

   22. JRJoe Rogan27:32

       'Cause he's really-

   23. NBNeal Brennan27:33

       I saw a little bit of it-

   24. JRJoe Rogan27:34

       Yeah.

   25. NBNeal Brennan27:34

       ... where he was like, he kinda didn't, he kinda got a little lost.

   26. JRJoe Rogan27:37

       Well, yeah, because it doesn't ... Well, he had two different take ... Here's, like, David Pakman, uh, had a, an interesting take on it. Pakman said that if you look at his explanation, 'cause I asked him a couple things. I'm like, "Do you really believe that Moses parted the Red Sea?" And he said, "I would look for more naturalistic explanation for that." But then when I w- talked to him about gay people and gay things, he wasn't-

   27. NBNeal Brennan28:03

       And it was absolute?

   28. JRJoe Rogan28:04

       ... interested in a naturalistic-

   29. NBNeal Brennan28:05

       Yeah.

   30. JRJoe Rogan28:05

       ... explanation. And he also wasn't interested in giving people the ability to do whatever they want. He felt like you're n- you're supposed to resist that. And his take is that, like you, you have an urge to murder people but you don't do it because you're a good person, and you should do the same thing with being gay. And I was like, "Wow, that's a crazy, that's crazy mental gymnastics." So-
9. 33:40 – 40:45

   Clickbait economics and collapsing trust: what journalism gets wrong and why it matters

   1. JRJoe Rogan33:40

      Yeah. What it is is, uh, the media right now, especially journalism, they're fucking starving for hits.

   2. NBNeal Brennan33:46

      Yeah.

   3. JRJoe Rogan33:46

      It's so hard to make money. It's so hard.

   4. NBNeal Brennan33:49

      Yeah.

   5. JRJoe Rogan33:49

      And so they're drowning.

   6. NBNeal Brennan33:49

      Yeah.

   7. JRJoe Rogan33:50

      And so they're trying to grab whatever branches they can.

   8. NBNeal Brennan33:52

      Yeah.

   9. JRJoe Rogan33:52

      If they gotta make a good story with a clickbaity title, (snaps fingers) fuck it.

   10. NBNeal Brennan33:56

       Fine.

   11. JRJoe Rogan33:56

       They'll have that deceptive title. Who gives a shit?

   12. NBNeal Brennan33:58

       Yeah.

   13. JRJoe Rogan33:58

       We- we got a good story, the story's vetted.

   14. NBNeal Brennan34:00

       Yeah.

   15. JRJoe Rogan34:01

       And even if it's not totally vetted, if it's a little slippery, but that you can make an amendment later, you know, "I'm sorry-

   16. NBNeal Brennan34:06

       Yeah.

   17. JRJoe Rogan34:06

       ... we have a little bit of an apology, you know, we have to make a retraction."

   18. NBNeal Brennan34:09

       Yeah.

   19. JRJoe Rogan34:09

       Nobody reads those goddamn retractions.

   20. NBNeal Brennan34:11

       No.

   21. JRJoe Rogan34:12

       I mean, you should have to have a retract- if you- if you fuck up so hardcore that you attribute a crime to someone or you do something like that and you-

   22. NBNeal Brennan34:19

       Yeah.

   23. JRJoe Rogan34:19

       ... have to make a re- retraction, it should be on the front page of your paper and nothing else for a month.

   24. NBNeal Brennan34:24

       Yeah.

   25. JRJoe Rogan34:24

       Like ev- for- that's it. This is your newspaper now.

   26. NBNeal Brennan34:26

       Yeah, walk the plank.

   27. JRJoe Rogan34:26

       "I'm sorry-

   28. NBNeal Brennan34:27

       Yeah.

   29. JRJoe Rogan34:27

       ... we don't get to tell you the news anymore."

   30. NBNeal Brennan34:29

       Yeah, by the way.
10. 40:45 – 53:59

    Climate dread to survival logistics: where to go when things collapse

    1. NBNeal Brennan40:45

       And then there's always global warming and you're like, "Oh fuck."

    2. JRJoe Rogan40:47

       Ah.

    3. NBNeal Brennan40:47

       "Fuck."

    4. JRJoe Rogan40:48

       Did you see f- uh, fucking, the science guy, Bill Nye, going crazy, screaming and swearing-

    5. NBNeal Brennan40:53

       He was on an elevator or something? Or he...

    6. JRJoe Rogan40:54

       Yeah. The planet's on fucking fire and-

    7. NBNeal Brennan40:56

       Yeah.

    8. JRJoe Rogan40:57

       ... just getting a little silly.

    9. NBNeal Brennan40:58

       Yeah, no, no, no.

    10. JRJoe Rogan40:59

        Like, bro, we're all right. Go to Antarctica.

    11. NBNeal Brennan41:02

        (laughs)

    12. JRJoe Rogan41:02

        (laughs) Planet's not on fire, bro.

    13. NBNeal Brennan41:04

        Uh, no, I saw a thing that Antarctica was like 84 degrees.

    14. JRJoe Rogan41:07

        Oh my God, it's on fire.

    15. NBNeal Brennan41:08

        I mean, yeah. I-

    16. JRJoe Rogan41:09

        Is it really? Do you really see something that says Antarctica was 84 degrees?

    17. NBNeal Brennan41:11

        Uh, yeah, something in the Arctic Circle's 84 degrees, like, three days ago.

    18. JRJoe Rogan41:15

        What the fuck is that? What the fuck?

    19. NBNeal Brennan41:17

        It's gonna be a, it's gonna be... Do you ever think about, like...

    20. JRJoe Rogan41:21

        Global warming?

    21. NBNeal Brennan41:21

        ... re- but really what it will look like, like-

    22. JRJoe Rogan41:24

        Yeah.

    23. NBNeal Brennan41:25

        ... in 70 years, what it will do to the art, like... And I'm not talking about just Miami's gone or any... That's, like, incredibly, like, crazy to think about. It's, like, unfathomable.

    24. JRJoe Rogan41:38

        It's not just that. Those Miami people, they're gonna move other places-

    25. NBNeal Brennan41:42

        (laughs)

    26. JRJoe Rogan41:42

        ... and ruin them.

    27. NBNeal Brennan41:42

        That's probably the biggest, that's my biggest worry.

    28. JRJoe Rogan41:45

        (laughs) Everywhere he goes, it's gonna be Lamborghinis and-

    29. NBNeal Brennan41:47

        Yeah.

    30. JRJoe Rogan41:47

        ... dudes yelling at girls in Spanish.
11. 53:59 – 1:38:12

    Arenas, comedy scale, and podcasting as a culture engine (and ownership revolution)

    1. NBNeal Brennan53:59

       Oh, you know what I haven't talked to you about?

    2. JRJoe Rogan54:00

       What?

    3. NBNeal Brennan54:00

       The, uh, doing these big venues.

    4. JRJoe Rogan54:04

       Oh, arenas, yeah.

    5. NBNeal Brennan54:05

       Yeah.

    6. JRJoe Rogan54:05

       It's weird.

    7. NBNeal Brennan54:05

       How do you like it?

    8. JRJoe Rogan54:07

       It's fun, man. San Diego was a lot of fun. It's, um, it's strange though. It's a lotta goddamn people.

    9. NBNeal Brennan54:13

       Does it feel, like, disconnected?

    10. JRJoe Rogan54:17

        No. No, it didn't, surprisingly. San Diego's interesting, like, the people that were in the front, they were right there, man. It was like a store.

    11. NBNeal Brennan54:23

        How many is it? 7,000?

    12. JRJoe Rogan54:24

        No, San Diego was 12 something, almost 13.

    13. NBNeal Brennan54:30

        Thousand?

    14. JRJoe Rogan54:30

        Close to 13,000, yeah.

    15. NBNeal Brennan54:32

        It's unbelievable.

    16. JRJoe Rogan54:32

        Yeah, it's a lotta people.

    17. NBNeal Brennan54:34

        And it was in the round?

    18. JRJoe Rogan54:36

        (yawns) Yeah. That was weird too.

    19. NBNeal Brennan54:38

        And did you have a plan?

    20. JRJoe Rogan54:40

        Nope.

    21. NBNeal Brennan54:41

        (laughs)

    22. JRJoe Rogan54:42

        (laughs)

    23. NBNeal Brennan54:42

        But (laughs) you know, 'cause like, do you fee-

    24. JRJoe Rogan54:45

        I did a lot of sets.

    25. NBNeal Brennan54:45

        I guess you can't really think about ... You can't worry about the people that are behind you.

    26. JRJoe Rogan54:49

        You can't. You gotta ... Well, they have giant screens everywhere.

    27. NBNeal Brennan54:51

        Right.

    28. JRJoe Rogan54:52

        So you get, everybody got to see you. Um-... I, I definitely was aware of the magnitude of the show, and I did a lot of sets that week. I did like eight, nine sets-

    29. NBNeal Brennan55:01

        Yeah.

    30. JRJoe Rogan55:01

        ... that week before I did it. Like long sets.
