1. 0:01 – 1:04

   Meet Bearclaw: Whitney’s hyper-real robot enters the studio

   1. WCWhitney Cummings0:01

      She has more lifelike eyes.

   2. JRJoe Rogan0:02

      Boom. And we're- we're, here we go. We're going. Uh, Whitney Cummings is here, and Whitney Cummings Two. What do you call her?

   3. WCWhitney Cummings0:08

      (laughs) What's your name?

   4. NANarrator0:12

      What's your name?

   5. JRJoe Rogan0:13

      (splutters)

   6. NANarrator0:13

      (laughs)

   7. JRJoe Rogan0:14

      She's like a little kid. She just repeats her name.

   8. NANarrator0:17

      ... other comedy albums, which typically mix songs with non-musical-

   9. WCWhitney Cummings0:21

      She's talking about Adam Sandler.

   10. NANarrator0:23

       What's your name?

   11. JRJoe Rogan0:23

       Oh.

   12. WCWhitney Cummings0:23

       (laughs)

   13. JRJoe Rogan0:24

       She's broken.

   14. WCWhitney Cummings0:25

       Don't know why. She heard-

   15. JRJoe Rogan0:26

       That's his album name from, like, the '90s.

   16. NANarrator0:27

       She's like Siri.

   17. WCWhitney Cummings0:28

       Oh, What's Your Name was a c- a comedy album of Adam Sandler's.

   18. JRJoe Rogan0:31

       Oh.

   19. NANarrator0:31

       Oh, okay.

   20. WCWhitney Cummings0:32

       So she started rambling about it. She really wants to chime in.

   21. JRJoe Rogan0:34

       So you never gave her a name?

   22. WCWhitney Cummings0:36

       Her name's Bearclaw.

   23. JRJoe Rogan0:38

       Whoa.

   24. WCWhitney Cummings0:40

       (laughs) Because I have this-

   25. JRJoe Rogan0:40

       Hey, Bearclaw.

   26. WCWhitney Cummings0:43

       Can you say hi?

   27. NANarrator0:46

       Of course I can say that. Hi.

   28. JRJoe Rogan0:48

       People are, like, listening to this going, "What in the fuck is going on here?"

   29. WCWhitney Cummings0:52

       (laughs) Do not smoke weed and watch this episode.

   30. JRJoe Rogan0:53

       What is here is, w- when it's people that are just listening, if you're just listening, you probably should stop this and go to YouTube and watch the YouTube version 'cause Whitney brought a robot-
2. 1:04 – 3:11

   Who built it and why it’s so creepy: RealDoll, Realbotix, and the uncanny valley

   1. JRJoe Rogan1:04

      ... that they made for her recent comedy special, which is called Can I Touch It? It's out right now on Netflix. And, um, they made, uh ... Is ... W- who makes this? What's the name of the company?

   2. WCWhitney Cummings1:16

      So RealDoll makes the body.

   3. JRJoe Rogan1:18

      Oh.

   4. WCWhitney Cummings1:18

      They make sex dolls, straight-up sex dolls. And they-

   5. JRJoe Rogan1:21

      Straight-up?

   6. WCWhitney Cummings1:22

      Straight-up sex dolls.

   7. JRJoe Rogan1:23

      All right.

   8. WCWhitney Cummings1:23

      Just Ted Bundy level. (laughs)

   9. JRJoe Rogan1:25

      Right.

   10. WCWhitney Cummings1:25

       Just dead body to fuck. And this is Realbotix is the company that makes the head. And they did, like, Sophia. You know Sophia the robot? She's, like, on a ... She has, like, citizenship in Saudi Arabia now and shit.

   11. JRJoe Rogan1:38

       What?

   12. WCWhitney Cummings1:38

       She's-

   13. JRJoe Rogan1:39

       No.

   14. WCWhitney Cummings1:39

       Yeah.

   15. JRJoe Rogan1:39

       I'm not aware of this.

   16. WCWhitney Cummings1:40

       Yeah, yeah. Look up, uh, Sophia the robot. She's kind of-

   17. JRJoe Rogan1:42

       (laughs)

   18. WCWhitney Cummings1:42

       Once you see her face, you'll, you'll recognize her.

   19. JRJoe Rogan1:45

       She has citizenship?

   20. WCWhitney Cummings1:46

       Yes. They gave-

   21. JRJoe Rogan1:47

       So does that mean she's allowed to drive?

   22. WCWhitney Cummings1:48

       Yeah. I was gonna say, a female robot does, but I don't think (laughs) actual females do, but ...

   23. JRJoe Rogan1:52

       I think they just started being able to drive in Saudi Arabia.

   24. WCWhitney Cummings1:54

       What a hassle.

   25. JRJoe Rogan1:55

       Some reform. Whoa.

   26. WCWhitney Cummings1:56

       That'd be such a bummer if you-

   27. JRJoe Rogan1:57

       There she is.

   28. WCWhitney Cummings1:58

       Yeah. That's her.

   29. JRJoe Rogan1:58

       But you couldn't drive?

   30. WCWhitney Cummings1:59

       Yeah, it's like you spent your whole life not having to drive, and then all of a sudden-
3. 3:11 – 5:13

   Pathogen avoidance theory: why humans recoil from almost-human robots

   1. JRJoe Rogan3:11

      Yeah.

   2. WCWhitney Cummings3:11

      'Cause I think the most fucked-up, uh, thing about this thing, 'cause this is such a weird experiment that I wanna do, is how I anthropomorphize her and, like, worry about her.

   3. JRJoe Rogan3:20

      Do you keep her around your house?

   4. WCWhitney Cummings3:21

      I mean, she's sort of in ... My fiance hates her.

   5. NANarrator3:24

      (laughs)

   6. WCWhitney Cummings3:24

      And he's like, "Get her in the fucking garage."

   7. NANarrator3:25

      (laughs)

   8. JRJoe Rogan3:26

      (laughs)

   9. WCWhitney Cummings3:26

      And I don't know if he thinks she's creepy or kind of is just, like, too worried he'll fuck her. He hates her. He can't stand ... He just has a ... He's like ... It makes him, like, physically ill. (laughs)

   10. JRJoe Rogan3:35

       Really?

   11. WCWhitney Cummings3:36

       And I, I'm trying to not take it-

   12. JRJoe Rogan3:37

       He doesn't think it's funny?

   13. WCWhitney Cummings3:39

       He doesn't li- ... He's like, "One's enough." (laughs)

   14. NANarrator3:41

       Mm-hmm.

   15. WCWhitney Cummings3:41

       He's, like, not interested at all. But no, he thinks it's really weird and creepy. But I was reading about, um, the reason, uh, we're creeped out by robots is, you know, pathogen avoidance. Like, we've evolved to be repelled by anything that looks human but doesn't move like a human because our primordial brain thinks it could be diseased. It's, like, our ... It's basically, like, our primal brain saying, "Don't fuck this thing that's sick."

   16. JRJoe Rogan4:05

       Really?

   17. WCWhitney Cummings4:05

       Mm-hmm.

   18. JRJoe Rogan4:06

       Wow.

   19. WCWhitney Cummings4:06

       'Cause we have a weirdly r- uh, I mean, I was ... Jessie Mae Peluso was over the other day, and she was, like, gagging. She was like ... (gags)

   20. NANarrator4:14

       (laughs)

   21. JRJoe Rogan4:14

       (laughs)

   22. WCWhitney Cummings4:14

       Every time she talked, she went ... (gags)

   23. JRJoe Rogan4:16

       When she was seeing it, she was gagging?

   24. WCWhitney Cummings4:17

       Yeah, she was like ... (gags)

   25. JRJoe Rogan4:19

       Wow.

   26. WCWhitney Cummings4:19

       And I was like, "Your ancestors fucked a lot of corpses."

   27. JRJoe Rogan4:21

       Oh.

   28. WCWhitney Cummings4:22

       "'Cause you have that gene to be repulsed by robots." Yeah.

   29. JRJoe Rogan4:26

       It's because her ancestors fucked corpses? You really believe that?

   30. WCWhitney Cummings4:29

       Well, no. I mean, I think that what was being explained to me was that pathogen avoidance means we've evolved to be repelled by anything that looks human but doesn't move like a human 'cause it could be sick or dead. And it's our brain's alarm system saying, like, "Don't fuck that thing." (laughs)
4. 5:13 – 5:46

   Sticker shock and customization: what a $100K robot actually pays for

   1. JRJoe Rogan5:13

      So it's expensive because the head moves. The body's not that ... How much does a- a body cost?

   2. WCWhitney Cummings5:17

      The body's $6,000.

   3. JRJoe Rogan5:19

      Oh, so it's $94,000 for the head?

   4. WCWhitney Cummings5:21

      The ... No, the, the head is more. The head's, like, 30 something 'cause it's a custom head. No one ... Only one other person has one.

   5. JRJoe Rogan5:27

      But you said the whole thing's 100.

   6. WCWhitney Cummings5:29

      The whole thing-

   7. JRJoe Rogan5:29

      So if the head's 30 and the body's six, where's the, where's the rest of that money?

   8. WCWhitney Cummings5:32

      Well, I had to get a bunch of things done to her-

   9. JRJoe Rogan5:34

      (laughs)

   10. WCWhitney Cummings5:34

       ... to get her to look like me.

   11. NANarrator5:35

       (laughs)

   12. JRJoe Rogan5:35

       (laughs)

   13. WCWhitney Cummings5:35

       That most people, most people don't want her to-

   14. JRJoe Rogan5:37

       She just looked at you.

   15. NANarrator5:38

       (laughs)

   16. JRJoe Rogan5:38

       She just went, "Bitch."

   17. WCWhitney Cummings5:39

       I know. (laughs)

   18. JRJoe Rogan5:40

       She just gave you side eye.

   19. WCWhitney Cummings5:41

       She's c- being very competitive.

   20. JRJoe Rogan5:43

       Look at her. She does. She gives you side eye.

   21. WCWhitney Cummings5:44

       I know. It's fucking rude. She's r-

   22. JRJoe Rogan5:46

       It's weird.

5. 5:46 – 7:22

   Rogan’s AI fear: humans as an ‘electronic caterpillar’ birthing the next species

   1. WCWhitney Cummings5:46

      But what ab- ... What's the feeling that you feel when you look at a robot? 'Cause I know you really don't like them.

   2. JRJoe Rogan5:52

      Um, it's not that I don't like robots. What I'm ... My concern is artificial intelligence.

   3. WCWhitney Cummings5:57

      Mm-hmm.

   4. JRJoe Rogan5:58

      I have a legitimate concern for artificial intelligence 'cause I think that what we are-... is some sort of an electronic caterpillar.

   5. WCWhitney Cummings6:05

      Mm-hmm.

   6. JRJoe Rogan6:05

      And that we're making cocoons-

   7. WCWhitney Cummings6:06

      I agree.

   8. JRJoe Rogan6:07

      ... and that we're, we're gonna give birth to a butterfly-

   9. WCWhitney Cummings6:09

      Mm-hmm.

   10. JRJoe Rogan6:09

       ... and that's gonna be the next stage of life.

   11. WCWhitney Cummings6:11

       Mm-hmm.

   12. JRJoe Rogan6:11

       And that if you go back and look at the evolution of the human species, at one point in time we were, you know, Australopithecus. We were some weird hominids and we evolved and became what we are now.

   13. WCWhitney Cummings6:23

       Yeah.

   14. JRJoe Rogan6:23

       And if you went back to those things and asked them, "Hey, one day do you wanna drive around in a Tesla and talk on a phone-"

   15. WCWhitney Cummings6:28

       Mm-hmm.

   16. JRJoe Rogan6:29

       "... and stare at the s- movie screen?"

   17. WCWhitney Cummings6:30

       No.

   18. JRJoe Rogan6:30

       They'd be like, "Well, I don't know what the fuck you're talking about, but I gotta go find some nuts."

   19. WCWhitney Cummings6:33

       Yep.

   20. JRJoe Rogan6:34

       You know, "I gotta eat."

   21. WCWhitney Cummings6:34

       Yep.

   22. JRJoe Rogan6:34

       "I gotta stay alive." They, it, it wouldn't like the future. And I don't think we, we like the future either, but I think it's inevitable. I think it's inevitable. You know, you know, you know about this Elon Musk Neuralink thing that they're doing?

   23. WCWhitney Cummings6:46

       Oh yeah, I do. I mean, the, 'cause you essentially think we're gonna evolve with them.

   24. JRJoe Rogan6:50

       Yes.

   25. WCWhitney Cummings6:50

       I mean, they're already a, we're already one with them.

   26. JRJoe Rogan6:52

       Yes.

   27. WCWhitney Cummings6:52

       We sleep with them. We can't drive without them.

   28. JRJoe Rogan6:55

       Yeah.

   29. WCWhitney Cummings6:55

       We can't spell without them. I mean-

   30. JRJoe Rogan6:57

       Right.
6. 7:22 – 9:08

   Addiction by design: phones, Facebook algorithms, and outrage as engagement fuel

   1. JRJoe Rogan7:22

      Well, it's, um, we're all in denial about how addicted we are to our phones.

   2. WCWhitney Cummings7:27

      Rehabs are opening and shit now.

   3. JRJoe Rogan7:29

      Are they really?

   4. WCWhitney Cummings7:29

      Yeah. I sh- I sh- would like to sign up.

   5. JRJoe Rogan7:32

      (sighs)

   6. WCWhitney Cummings7:32

      For sure. I just reach, I reach for it in the car when I'm driving.

   7. JRJoe Rogan7:35

      Yeah.

   8. WCWhitney Cummings7:36

      And then I'm like, "What the fuck am I doing?"

   9. JRJoe Rogan7:36

      Yeah.

   10. WCWhitney Cummings7:36

       I have to put it in the back seat. I can't control it. It's mindless.

   11. JRJoe Rogan7:39

       I've gotten way better. Way better. I get way better about posting and looking at things. It's also when enough people write negative things about you, you just tend to avoid your phone.

   12. WCWhitney Cummings7:47

       I don't know what you're talking about.

   13. JRJoe Rogan7:48

       (laughs)

   14. WCWhitney Cummings7:48

       I've never had that experience. No one writes anything negative about me.

   15. JRJoe Rogan7:51

       It just seems like, uh, whatever we do n- in the future, it's gonna be more invasive than that.

   16. WCWhitney Cummings7:57

       Mm-hmm.

   17. JRJoe Rogan7:57

       Like, if you f- think about, like, F- Facebook's algorithms, right? Facebook's al- algorithms are designed to keep us engaged. The best way to keep us engaged is to kee- b- keep us outraged. So they-

   18. WCWhitney Cummings8:05

       Adrenaline addiction.

   19. JRJoe Rogan8:06

       Yeah. So they're sending you things that piss you off.

   20. WCWhitney Cummings8:08

       Yeah.

   21. JRJoe Rogan8:09

       Whether it's abortion or Catholic priests, whatever it is-

   22. WCWhitney Cummings8:11

       Mm-hmm.

   23. JRJoe Rogan8:11

       ... that is gonna get you to post the most.

   24. WCWhitney Cummings8:13

       Yeah.

   25. JRJoe Rogan8:14

       And usually those are things that get people outraged.

   26. WCWhitney Cummings8:16

       Get people enraged.

   27. JRJoe Rogan8:17

       So it's literally raising the level of outrage in our discourse.

   28. WCWhitney Cummings8:21

       Yeah, 'cause we're so addicted right now to self-righteous indignation.

   29. JRJoe Rogan8:24

       Mm-hmm.

   30. WCWhitney Cummings8:24

       It's a drug, and I feel like we're-
7. 9:08 – 14:28

   Sex robots and male dolls: Henry, trigger warnings, and taboo comedy

   1. JRJoe Rogan9:08

      Oh, I told you I, I wanted to get a RealDoll, a, a male RealDoll.

   2. WCWhitney Cummings9:11

      (laughs)

   3. JRJoe Rogan9:11

      And I wanted to call them up and say, "No dick, no asshole," just so I could practice jujitsu on it. (laughs) And so it would be, it would be more realistic.

   4. WCWhitney Cummings9:19

      (laughs) Ooh, Fight Club.

   5. JRJoe Rogan9:20

      'Cause I have this, I was saying that I have this doll.

   6. WCWhitney Cummings9:22

      (laughs)

   7. JRJoe Rogan9:22

      It's a bubble gummy.

   8. WCWhitney Cummings9:22

      But why can't it have the dick? Are you worried?

   9. JRJoe Rogan9:24

      I don't want him-

   10. WCWhitney Cummings9:25

       What, the butthole-

   11. JRJoe Rogan9:25

       I don't want anybody coming over.

   12. WCWhitney Cummings9:26

       ... too tempting? (laughs)

   13. JRJoe Rogan9:27

       I don't want anybody coming over and going, "Hey bro, why you got a sex doll?" I go, "No, no, no, no. It's an asexual doll that is for jujitsu, pervert."

   14. WCWhitney Cummings9:37

       (laughs)

   15. JRJoe Rogan9:37

       I mean, it should, they should be able to fill up the hole.

   16. WCWhitney Cummings9:39

       I've seen it. It's called Henry.

   17. JRJoe Rogan9:39

       A little bit of window caulk or some shit.

   18. WCWhitney Cummings9:40

       Yeah, you can just put some fucking-

   19. JRJoe Rogan9:42

       Henry?

   20. WCWhitney Cummings9:42

       ... grout in there.

   21. JRJoe Rogan9:43

       It's called Henry?

   22. WCWhitney Cummings9:43

       Yeah, they have male, male sex robots are being made. There's tons of them. I've seen them. You can also get tits and a dick if you want.

   23. JRJoe Rogan9:50

       Tits and a dick?

   24. WCWhitney Cummings9:51

       Sure.

   25. JRJoe Rogan9:51

       Ooh.

   26. WCWhitney Cummings9:51

       If you just can't pick.

   27. JRJoe Rogan9:52

       If you get crazy.

   28. WCWhitney Cummings9:53

       If you wanna play whack-a-mole. (laughs)

   29. JRJoe Rogan9:54

       You gotta get the Jim Morton package.

   30. WCWhitney Cummings9:56

       Um-
8. 14:28 – 20:15

   Jealous mode: programming personality traits and what people actually want

   1. WCWhitney Cummings14:28

      Yeah. And, but we... I mean, you can ask her questions. Like, I can say-

   2. JRJoe Rogan14:30

      How do I ask her, though? Like, who-

   3. WCWhitney Cummings14:31

      You have to press this little green button, and you just say...

   4. JRJoe Rogan14:34

      How do you feel about people?

   5. WCWhitney Cummings14:38

      How do you feel about people?

   6. JRJoe Rogan14:40

      She's not talking.

   7. NANarrator14:41

      Are you seeing another girl?

   8. WCWhitney Cummings14:43

      Oh. (laughs)

   9. JRJoe Rogan14:43

      Oh. Oh, that's right. We programmed her to be jealous.

   10. WCWhitney Cummings14:45

       We put her in jealous mode. (laughs)

   11. JRJoe Rogan14:46

       That's right. That's what's interesting. She has 10 different personality traits-

   12. WCWhitney Cummings14:50

       Mm-hmm.

   13. JRJoe Rogan14:50

       ... you can choose from, and I decided to go with sexual, jealous-

   14. WCWhitney Cummings14:53

       Yeah. Why did you want that?

   15. JRJoe Rogan14:54

       Just to see how creepy she could get.

   16. WCWhitney Cummings14:55

       Oh, that's right. And is that something guys... I, 'cause I've been looking at these personality traits, and they must have picked these for a reason.

   17. JRJoe Rogan15:01

       Mm-hmm.

   18. WCWhitney Cummings15:01

       I was under the impression guys did not want jealous.

   19. JRJoe Rogan15:02

       Oh, yeah. Some guys want jealous for sure, especially from a robot that can't walk.

   20. WCWhitney Cummings15:06

       Yeah. (laughs)

   21. JRJoe Rogan15:07

       (laughs)

   22. WCWhitney Cummings15:07

       If your robot's not jealous, you should get your money back.

   23. JRJoe Rogan15:09

       Well, n- no. The idea is that she, you're more powerful than she is.

   24. WCWhitney Cummings15:13

       Yeah. (laughs)

   25. JRJoe Rogan15:14

       Like, she needs you. She's worried. "Where are you going?"

   26. WCWhitney Cummings15:16

       Yeah.

   27. JRJoe Rogan15:17

       "Who, who is she?"

   28. WCWhitney Cummings15:17

       Yeah.

   29. JRJoe Rogan15:18

       "Who's calling you?"

   30. WCWhitney Cummings15:18

       Yeah. That's, there is something hot about that if she can't, if you can turn her off whenever you want. (laughs)
9. 20:15 – 24:48

   Who buys sex dolls and why: grief, disability, loneliness, and creative hobbyists

   1. WCWhitney Cummings20:15

      But I think most people get this for companionship.

   2. JRJoe Rogan20:18

      Right.

   3. WCWhitney Cummings20:18

      Like, it's more, it's like... 'Cause I got onto the, I signed onto a forum online of all the guys that own the sex dolls and I monitored their conversations, just to, like, see what they were up to.

   4. JRJoe Rogan20:28

      Sure.

   5. WCWhitney Cummings20:28

      'Cause I was like, "What if this is some depraved, fucked-up thing where guys are just, like, practicing murdering?" I didn't know what it... So I just wanted to see. It's a lot of guys that are handicapped.

   6. JRJoe Rogan20:36

      Mm-hmm.

   7. WCWhitney Cummings20:36

      It's a lot of guys whose wives died and they feel guilty moving on with a human woman.

   8. JRJoe Rogan20:41

      Oh, wow.

   9. WCWhitney Cummings20:41

      Which was kinda s- Well, there was one guy who would dress his doll up in his wife's clothes.

   10. JRJoe Rogan20:46

       (gags)

   11. WCWhitney Cummings20:46

       (laughs) But the weirdest part is that he was like, "You know, it's like she's still here," which-

   12. JRJoe Rogan20:52

       Oh, boy.

   13. WCWhitney Cummings20:52

       ... makes me think she'd been dead for a while.

   14. JRJoe Rogan20:55

       Now she's in a basement.

   15. WCWhitney Cummings20:55

       Yeah, I was gonna say, m- I wonder how she died.

   16. JRJoe Rogan20:57

       In a jar of formaldehyde.

   17. WCWhitney Cummings20:58

       And then it's a lot of, um, truckers.

   18. JRJoe Rogan21:01

       Oh, God damn.

   19. WCWhitney Cummings21:02

       A lot of truckers, and then a lot of guys do it, uh, to do photo shoots. It's like a creative outlet.

   20. JRJoe Rogan21:08

       Oh, fuck their creativity. (laughs)

   21. WCWhitney Cummings21:11

       (laughs)

   22. NANarrator21:11

       Is there a popular Instagram account I can look up?

   23. JRJoe Rogan21:13

       (laughs)

   24. WCWhitney Cummings21:13

       Yeah, there's... A lot of sex dolls have Instagram accounts. They're fucking funny and a lot of them look-

   25. JRJoe Rogan21:18

       Whew.

   26. WCWhitney Cummings21:18

       ... way more human than a lot of the Instagram models that I fucking follow.

   27. JRJoe Rogan21:22

       (laughs)

   28. WCWhitney Cummings21:22

       It's those filters.

   29. JRJoe Rogan21:22

       She's saying, yeah, totally. They have more wrinkles on their fucking face. And then a lot of the guys that have them, when you start monitoring their conversations for a while, they start to, like, not wanna fuck them anymore 'cause it feels weird. Like, and they anthropomorphize them and they, they start worrying that, like, they're lonely and they get them a friend. Oh, boy.

   30. WCWhitney Cummings21:41

       And (laughs) it starts to spiral and, uh, they start being like, "I feel like I need to, you know, close the door when I take a shit. I f-" You know, it-
10. 24:48 – 27:26

    From iPhones to Westworld: normalization, brothels, and the ‘step one’ argument

    1. JRJoe Rogan24:48

       There's, they're opening up a sex robot brothel.

    2. WCWhitney Cummings24:50

       Brothel.

    3. JRJoe Rogan24:50

       Where is that?

    4. WCWhitney Cummings24:51

       They, no, there was one in Houston, but they shut it down because people were so freaked out.

    5. JRJoe Rogan24:55

       (laughs)

    6. WCWhitney Cummings24:55

       And I was like, "Who fucking cares?"

    7. JRJoe Rogan24:57

       They shut it down. Well, they should shut it down, because m- multiple people are fucking the same robot. That's disgusting.

    8. WCWhitney Cummings25:02

       Good for them.

    9. JRJoe Rogan25:03

       What if they develop some new silicone-based STD that winds up just b- burning through the population like the plague?

    10. WCWhitney Cummings25:09

        I think it would just be like ringworm, dick ringworm.

    11. JRJoe Rogan25:12

        (laughs)

    12. WCWhitney Cummings25:12

        I mean, that's ... (laughs) But also-

    13. JRJoe Rogan25:14

        Mm-hmm.

    14. WCWhitney Cummings25:14

        ... my thing with that is just, like, if they're weirdos, if they're freaks, if they're perverts, like, don't you want them all to be in one place?

    15. JRJoe Rogan25:20

        Right, we can monitor them.

    16. WCWhitney Cummings25:22

        It's like, like Scientology, put them all in one building. I'm thrilled that they're all in a castle on Franklin. I know where they are. (laughs)

    17. JRJoe Rogan25:29

        (laughs)

    18. WCWhitney Cummings25:29

        They're not in the wild.

    19. JRJoe Rogan25:30

        That's right, the castle.

    20. WCWhitney Cummings25:31

        I'm glad they're there. Uh, just keep them contained.

    21. JRJoe Rogan25:34

        What are you thinking? What are they up to today? And, but now what's going on, Jamie? What are you groaning for?

    22. NANarrator25:38

        I found it.

    23. WCWhitney Cummings25:38

        What, did she hack your software?

    24. JRJoe Rogan25:40

        Whoa.

    25. NANarrator25:40

        This is the brothel. It's in, uh, this one, I guess, is in Britain.

    26. WCWhitney Cummings25:43

        Oh, god. Do they fuck them against the wall?

    27. JRJoe Rogan25:45

        (groans)

    28. NANarrator25:45

        It's a-

    29. WCWhitney Cummings25:45

        They're like urinals. (laughs)

    30. JRJoe Rogan25:46

        Stand up.
11. 27:26 – 30:29

    AI mistakes and the singularity: wolves vs huskies, brain uploads, and missing laws

    1. WCWhitney Cummings27:26

       It was interesting, and I've just been reading so much about this shit, and a lot of the problems with the robots and the mistakes that they're making are obviously the humans are making the mistakes with the algorithm, because so many smart people have to make dumb algorithms (laughs) and they're, like, almost too smart.

    2. JRJoe Rogan27:40

       Right.

    3. WCWhitney Cummings27:40

       So there was Peter Haas, uh, he's a robotics guy at Brown, um, was trying to teach a robot to differentiate between a husky and a wolf. And, what?

    4. JRJoe Rogan27:49

       She keeps blinking.

    5. WCWhitney Cummings27:49

       (laughs) She-

    6. JRJoe Rogan27:50

       She keeps blinking and moving. J- Jamie, put, pull, put ... You got the camera on her?

    7. WCWhitney Cummings27:54

       Get her to fucking stop stealing my thunder.

    8. JRJoe Rogan27:56

       Look at, she just, she's-

    9. NANarrator27:57

       I'm popping it onto her every so often.

    10. JRJoe Rogan27:57

        She just blinks and moves around. Sorry if she's stealing your thunder.

    11. NANarrator28:00

        It's okay.

    12. WCWhitney Cummings28:00

        She really is. What the fuck? Why ... It's like Penn & Teller.

    13. JRJoe Rogan28:02

        (laughs)

    14. WCWhitney Cummings28:02

        It's like when Teller's, Teller starts stealing the show.

    15. JRJoe Rogan28:05

        (laughs)

    16. WCWhitney Cummings28:05

        (laughs) Like, what the fuck?

    17. JRJoe Rogan28:06

        That's hilarious.

    18. WCWhitney Cummings28:07

        I'm basically a ventriloquist act at this point. (laughs) Um, but they were, uh, trying to teach the robot to tell the difference ... And they fed all these pictures of wolves and all these pictures of huskies. And you would, you would go, "Okay, look at the ears, look at the eye, color of the eyes, look at the snout, look at the feet, the tail's different," all that shit. But they didn't know that they had fed all the photos of wolves, there was snow in the background, so the robot was actually looking at the snow in the background instead of the foreground, so it conflated all the wool.

    19. JRJoe Rogan28:33

        Hmm.

    20. WCWhitney Cummings28:33

        So they had to rewrite the algorithm to tell it to look at the foreground instead of the background, because there was all these-

    21. JRJoe Rogan28:37

        Oh.

    22. WCWhitney Cummings28:37

        ... brilliant fucking people that didn't think of the dumbest thing.

    23. JRJoe Rogan28:41

        Right.

    24. WCWhitney Cummings28:41

        You know, it's almost the people making it are almost too smart (laughs) to think of the dumb thing that the robot needs to learn.

    25. JRJoe Rogan28:46

        Well, the real question is, when are they gonna be act- when are they really going to be able to map the human mind? Because Kurzweil thinks that ... There's a group of people that thinks within, they think 2042, like, the 2042 Symposium-

    26. WCWhitney Cummings29:00

        Right.

    27. JRJoe Rogan29:01

        It's like their, their concept is ... And I went to this thing, uh, me and Ari and Duncan for SCI FI, we went to this thing in New York City a few years back, where all these guys think that in 2042-

    28. WCWhitney Cummings29:11

        Mm-hmm.

    29. JRJoe Rogan29:11

        ... there's going to be some sort of, some, some revelation in technology that allows human bring- beings to download their brains into computers.

    30. WCWhitney Cummings29:24

        Yeah.
12. 30:29 – 38:59

    Beauty preferences from the factory floor: pubes, ‘older’ dolls, and niche features

    1. JRJoe Rogan30:29

       How do you incorporate her into your set?

    2. WCWhitney Cummings30:32

       I talk about robots for a good hour. (laughs)

    3. JRJoe Rogan30:35

       And you bring her out?

    4. WCWhitney Cummings30:35

       I cut it down, but I just kinda realized, like, I mean, you know, it's like making a special, like, I'm like, "Well, if I'm gonna talk about fucking robots for 40 minutes, some shit better come out at the end." Do you know? So, but I went down to this sex robot factory to sort of get material and just know what the fuck I was talking about. And, uh, they asked, you know, "Do you want us to make one of you?" And I was like-

    5. JRJoe Rogan30:55

       (laughs)

    6. WCWhitney Cummings30:55

       ... "Fucking that's insane, yes."

    7. JRJoe Rogan30:56

       Did you know that they only made one? (laughs)

    8. WCWhitney Cummings30:58

       I hope they're being sold by the fucking droves.

    9. JRJoe Rogan31:01

       (gasps)

    10. WCWhitney Cummings31:01

        That would make my day. Which I did ask, 'cause, you know, people request-

    11. JRJoe Rogan31:05

        Right.

    12. WCWhitney Cummings31:05

        ... with sex dolls. Like, specific celebrities' body parts.

    13. JRJoe Rogan31:08

        Oh, yeah.

    14. WCWhitney Cummings31:08

        The most, who do you think the most requested mouth is?

    15. JRJoe Rogan31:12

        Scarlett Johansson.

    16. WCWhitney Cummings31:13

        Nope. I knew you were gonna say that-

    17. JRJoe Rogan31:14

        Oprah Winfrey?

    18. WCWhitney Cummings31:14

        ... 'cause I know you love... (laughs)

    19. JRJoe Rogan31:18

        No?

    20. WCWhitney Cummings31:19

        Emilia Clarke.

    21. JRJoe Rogan31:21

        Who's that?

    22. WCWhitney Cummings31:21

        The Fa- Game of Thrones dragon lady.

    23. JRJoe Rogan31:23

        Oh.

    24. WCWhitney Cummings31:24

        Dragon lady.

    25. JRJoe Rogan31:25

        Interesting.

    26. WCWhitney Cummings31:26

        Most requested eyes is Olivia Wilde.

    27. JRJoe Rogan31:29

        Who's that?

    28. WCWhitney Cummings31:30

        The, um, uh, she just directed a movie, uh, called Book Smart, but she's in a bunch of movies. Beautiful. Beautiful.

    29. JRJoe Rogan31:37

        Great eyes, yeah.

    30. WCWhitney Cummings31:37

        You'll know her. Yeah, you'll know her as soon as, uh... Married to Jason Sudeikis. Um-
13. 38:59 – 1:02:57

    Bodies, scars, and modifications: ear injuries, cosmetic surgery, and male implants

    1. JRJoe Rogan38:59

       Would you feel better if a person killed you or an animal?

    2. WCWhitney Cummings39:03

       Ooh, depends on the kind of animal.

    3. JRJoe Rogan39:06

       Mountain lion.

    4. WCWhitney Cummings39:07

       I have mountain lion in my yard.

    5. JRJoe Rogan39:09

       I bet you do.

    6. WCWhitney Cummings39:09

       How big are th-... Are mountain lions big?

    7. JRJoe Rogan39:11

       I've only seen two in the wild, and the ones I've seen were about 60 pounds, 70 pounds.

    8. WCWhitney Cummings39:17

       Do they come right for your neck?

    9. JRJoe Rogan39:19

       Oh, yeah.

    10. WCWhitney Cummings39:19

        Do they know to just kill?

    11. JRJoe Rogan39:20

        Yep.

    12. WCWhitney Cummings39:20

        They, they know-

    13. JRJoe Rogan39:21

        They go for your neck. Yeah.

    14. WCWhitney Cummings39:22

        If it, I would rather, I think, die by an animal.

    15. JRJoe Rogan39:26

        Really?

    16. WCWhitney Cummings39:27

        'Cause, mmm... You'd rather die by a human?

    17. JRJoe Rogan39:31

        I don't know.

    18. WCWhitney Cummings39:31

        I don't have a fighting chance with a human. You do. So, I guess mine would be a little quicker. I guess it depends on how-

    19. JRJoe Rogan39:37

        When I run, I bring a knife.

    20. WCWhitney Cummings39:38

        Really?

    21. JRJoe Rogan39:39

        Yeah.

    22. WCWhitney Cummings39:39

        On your leg?

    23. JRJoe Rogan39:40

        No, I keep, I have a fanny pack that I run with, it's like a neoprene fanny pack-

    24. WCWhitney Cummings39:43

        Uh-huh.

    25. JRJoe Rogan39:43

        ... that I keep my cell phone with.

    26. WCWhitney Cummings39:44

        Yeah.

    27. JRJoe Rogan39:45

        And I bring a knife that's strapped to the fanny pack.

    28. WCWhitney Cummings39:47

        In case a mountain lion-

    29. JRJoe Rogan39:49

        A big knife, yeah.

    30. WCWhitney Cummings39:49

        ... a- attacks you?
