Joe Rogan Experience #1364 - Brian Redban

1. 0:00 – 15:00

   Hello, Joe. …

   1. JRJoe Rogan0:04

      Hello, Joe.

   2. BRBrian Redban0:04

      Hello, Brian.

   3. JRJoe Rogan0:04

      What are you doing?

   4. BRBrian Redban0:06

      Just hanging.

   5. JRJoe Rogan0:07

      Yeah, um, you're not sober are you? Y- this isn't Sober October for you?

   6. BRBrian Redban0:10

      Uh, no.

   7. JRJoe Rogan0:11

      You're not doing it?

   8. BRBrian Redban0:12

      Nah.

   9. JRJoe Rogan0:12

      No? You can get high? I'll watch.

   10. BRBrian Redban0:13

       Okay.

   11. JRJoe Rogan0:14

       If you want me to.

   12. BRBrian Redban0:14

       Can I blow it on you?

   13. JRJoe Rogan0:15

       Yeah, yeah, yeah.

   14. BRBrian Redban0:16

       (laughs)

   15. JRJoe Rogan0:16

       I don't think that counts.

   16. JVJamie Vernon0:17

       There's, uh ... Yeah, I would take one of these.

   17. JRJoe Rogan0:19

       It's gotta be ... Oh, this is a joint. This, this fat right here.

   18. BRBrian Redban0:21

       Oh, really?

   19. JRJoe Rogan0:22

       Yeah, that's all weed. That's Mike Tyson's weed.

   20. BRBrian Redban0:24

       Oh, sweet.

   21. JRJoe Rogan0:25

       Yeah. Look at this, I got a, a torch.

   22. BRBrian Redban0:28

       Oh, you got a cigarette lighter.

   23. JRJoe Rogan0:29

       A cigar torch. I could smoke a cigar with you.

   24. BRBrian Redban0:30

       Oh, sweet.

   25. JRJoe Rogan0:31

       That's legal. We, Ari and I were thinking that when we started Sober October, we started smoking cigars, we were thinking maybe that will disqualify us, and we could just quit.

   26. BRBrian Redban0:40

       Yeah, what does ... Like, komb, kombucha has alcohol in it.

   27. JRJoe Rogan0:43

       Kombucha?

   28. BRBrian Redban0:43

       Yeah. (laughs)

   29. JRJoe Rogan0:44

       Yeah. But it's, it can't really get you drunk, you stay sober. You would have to drink a case of it to even catch a buzz.

   30. JVJamie Vernon0:49

       (coughs) But if you scheduled a doctor's appointment, like a dentist appointment and they gave you some, uh-
2. 15:00 – 30:00

   (laughs) …

   1. JRJoe Rogan15:00

   2. BRBrian Redban15:00

      (laughs)

   3. JRJoe Rogan15:00

      Like Kevin Hart style. He, uh, just... He turned it over and made some money off of it.

   4. JVJamie Vernon15:05

      Straight out of it. Yeah.

   5. JRJoe Rogan15:06

      Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so, I think that's when he bought a bike. But yeah, I guess people who love bikes, man, they, they think it's worth the risk.

   6. BRBrian Redban15:14

      Fuck that. Out here, I can't believe that there's not more of those scooter deaths everywhere. Like-

   7. JRJoe Rogan15:19

      I know, right?

   8. BRBrian Redban15:20

      Yeah.

   9. JRJoe Rogan15:20

      Dude, those things are goddamn fast. When we were in Denver, they're everywhere, and everybody's riding those electric scooters all over the place. You know, like, is that really how you wanna go out?

   10. JVJamie Vernon15:29

       You didn't try mine yet, did you?

   11. JRJoe Rogan15:31

       No. Is it fast?

   12. JVJamie Vernon15:32

       24 miles an hour.

   13. BRBrian Redban15:33

       It's the fastest.

   14. JRJoe Rogan15:33

       Dude, yours look pretty good.

   15. JVJamie Vernon15:34

       It's way faster than those bird scoot- all those-

   16. BRBrian Redban15:36

       Do you trust that shit?

   17. JVJamie Vernon15:37

       ... way faster.

   18. BRBrian Redban15:37

       I don't trust that shit anymore.

   19. JRJoe Rogan15:38

       No, no, no.

   20. BRBrian Redban15:39

       I flipped over my bike a couple years ago, and I'm like, "Something..." That's- that's a message. Um.

   21. JRJoe Rogan15:43

       Yeah.

   22. BRBrian Redban15:44

       You know? I know too many people that are in broken... My friend broke both of his arms on one of those scooters. He flipped, and he landed on his arms, both of his arms, and he had to have his mom live with him for, like, a couple months because he couldn't do anything.

   23. JRJoe Rogan15:56

       When I was doing, uh, Zookeeper with, uh, Kevin James-

   24. BRBrian Redban16:00

       Oh, yeah.

   25. JRJoe Rogan16:00

       ... I did a lot of my own bike riding, and, uh, I fucking wiped out hard because I didn't realize that if you're... Uh, we were in this scene where he was beside me, and I was trying to hit him with a flag. And he was beside me on his bike, and I was holding onto the handlebars with my left hand, which is your front wheel, so when I hit the brakes on my left hand, I just went flying over the top of the handlebars. I didn't do it just once either. I fucking wiped out pretty h- like, here, wa- watch.

   26. JVJamie Vernon16:29

       Oh, yeah. It shows it in slow motion.

   27. BRBrian Redban16:29

       DVD extra right here.

   28. JRJoe Rogan16:30

       Yeah, watch. Ba-boom.

   29. JVJamie Vernon16:32

       Oh.

   30. JRJoe Rogan16:33

       Yeah. That's a-
3. 30:00 – 45:00

   What year was The…

   1. JRJoe Rogan30:00

      in spaceships and living on the moon. They're always wrong.

   2. GFGuest (unknown name, likely in-studio friend/producer)30:04

      What year was The Jetsons supposed to be? Way off. (laughs)

   3. JRJoe Rogan30:07

      That's a good question. (laughs)

   4. GFGuest (unknown name, likely in-studio friend/producer)30:09

      (laughs)

   5. JRJoe Rogan30:09

      That was like 1950. (laughs)

   6. GFGuest (unknown name, likely in-studio friend/producer)30:10

      (laughs)

   7. JRJoe Rogan30:11

      What year was that supposed to be?

   8. GFGuest (unknown name, likely in-studio friend/producer)30:12

      Mm-mm.

   9. JRJoe Rogan30:13

      Yeah. The Jetsons, they had flying cars, but y- see the problem with three dimensions is you gotta keep people locked into grids.... because that way you can keep them from just going up or down, or left to right randomly like birds, and slamming into each other.

   10. BRBrian Redban30:28

       That's probably wh- how it's going to be though. It's probably going to be autum-... You know, like, you could only do it with the Tesla driving.

   11. JRJoe Rogan30:33

       Right. Right. If it goes flying, you mean?

   12. BRBrian Redban30:36

       Mm-hmm.

   13. JRJoe Rogan30:36

       Do you think they'll have that?

   14. BRBrian Redban30:37

       Yeah. 'Cause they would have to stay in a grid. There will have to be some kind of tr- traffic r- you know, to that... People w- can't be flying all over, like you say, all over the place. The-

   15. JRJoe Rogan30:46

       Right.

   16. BRBrian Redban30:46

       So they'll have to have, like, lanes in the sky. But by that time, we're probably not gonna ha- have any control of it. It's probably all gonna be...

   17. JRJoe Rogan30:54

       Probably, right?

   18. BRBrian Redban30:55

       Yeah.

   19. JRJoe Rogan30:55

       Well, that's why helicopters are so weird, 'cause helicopters, if you get a pilot's li-... Like, when I went up with Burr, I was surprised at how much freedom you have. Like, we were flying around downtown LA. He was like, "Let's go here." You just take a left, in the sky, go right, go down, go up, go around here. We were g-... We were really close to buildings. And you'd be amazed at how many buildings in downtown LA have helicopter pads on the roof. And so you land on the roof, you get out, you open a door, you go downstairs, you avoid all the bullshit. Apparently, that's the move in New York City. Um, Tommy Buns was saying that, right?

   20. BRBrian Redban31:29

       Blade, I think it's called? Yeah.

   21. JRJoe Rogan31:31

       That's what it's called?

   22. BRBrian Redban31:32

       I forget that... After...

   23. JRJoe Rogan31:32

       Uber has, Uber has helicopter now (blows raspberry) in New York City. Uber helicopter. Imagine, uh, some chatty Uber driver that's flying-

   24. BRBrian Redban31:40

       (laughs)

   25. JRJoe Rogan31:40

       ... a fucking helicopter and won't shut up.

   26. BRBrian Redban31:42

       That's what Kobe Bryant did when he first got, like, his first big contract, I heard he moved down to Orange County and was just flying a helicopter every day to practice downtown.

   27. JRJoe Rogan31:51

       Imagine flying a helicopter-

   28. BRBrian Redban31:52

       Get all that traffic.

   29. JRJoe Rogan31:52

       ... to the store.

   30. BRBrian Redban31:53

       It'd be sick.
4. 45:00 – 1:00:00

   (laughs) …

   1. JRJoe Rogan45:00

      be bountiful. We good now, China?"

   2. BRBrian Redban45:03

      (laughs)

   3. JRJoe Rogan45:03

      Oh my God, he's the best.

   4. JVJamie Vernon45:05

      (laughs)

   5. JRJoe Rogan45:06

      He's the best.

   6. BRBrian Redban45:06

      They are the best.

   7. JVJamie Vernon45:07

      They are the best.

   8. JRJoe Rogan45:07

      They are the best.

   9. BRBrian Redban45:09

      I love them.

   10. JRJoe Rogan45:09

       They're the best. "We too love money." Say that, put, pull it, put up the exact quote again.

   11. BRBrian Redban45:15

       (laughs)

   12. JRJoe Rogan45:15

       What does it say? "We too love money more than freedom and democracy." (laughs)

   13. JVJamie Vernon45:19

       (laughs)

   14. BRBrian Redban45:19

       I, I, I like how he said also, "Xi doesn't look just like Winnie the Pooh at all." I like-

   15. JRJoe Rogan45:24

       Yeah.

   16. BRBrian Redban45:25

       (laughs) Just adding that just.

   17. JRJoe Rogan45:28

       Oh my God. 300th episode.

   18. BRBrian Redban45:30

       Oh, I love it.

   19. JRJoe Rogan45:31

       That's hill- we welcome the S- the Chinese censors into our homes and into our hearts. Like the NBA. Well, the NBA thing is a weird one, right? Like, the guy, like, he's o- he's, like, super social justice warrior-y, he's always criticizing this and that. When it came to China, he's like, "Huh, everything's really good over there."

   20. JVJamie Vernon45:47

       Oh, the-

   21. JRJoe Rogan45:48

       Yeah.

   22. JVJamie Vernon45:48

       ... the commissioner of the NBA?

   23. JRJoe Rogan45:49

       Yeah, what did he say?

   24. JVJamie Vernon45:50

       Yeah. I don't know what he said necessarily.

   25. JRJoe Rogan45:51

       He d- he definitely soft pedaled.

   26. JVJamie Vernon45:53

       Yeah, he's flown over there now to, like, have a meeting about it.

   27. BRBrian Redban45:56

       Yeah, and there's a, there's a chance even that, I heard that he might even, could even get fired from this, because that's how much money that NBA as a company is gonna be losing from, uh-

   28. JRJoe Rogan46:06

       From China?

   29. BRBrian Redban46:06

       ... China.

   30. JRJoe Rogan46:07

       Now, what is the big deal about China? They just like basketball? Or is it just because-
5. 1:00:00 – 1:06:00

   That seems- …

   1. JVJamie Vernon1:00:00

      more people.

   2. JRJoe Rogan1:00:01

      That seems-

   3. JVJamie Vernon1:00:02

      (laughs)

   4. JRJoe Rogan1:00:02

      That seems weird because that seems like when you would wanna use it.

   5. JVJamie Vernon1:00:06

      Mm-hmm.

   6. JRJoe Rogan1:00:06

      Is when you're a cop looking for bad guys. It's like-

   7. JVJamie Vernon1:00:08

      Yeah, but the... I think what's happening right now that I've been reading is, like, there's... third party companies are getting access to that stuff, and, like, they can buy it, and that's where some of the discrepancy... 'cause it's just happening too fast. There aren't laws in place to stop some of these things from happening. I just think that's just, like, a good... there's lots of gray area that can... people can maneuver in.

   8. JRJoe Rogan1:00:27

      It seems to be-

   9. JVJamie Vernon1:00:28

      And bad people can get out.

   10. JRJoe Rogan1:00:29

       ... just a matter of time before you have surveillance everywhere.

   11. JVJamie Vernon1:00:33

       Yeah.

   12. JRJoe Rogan1:00:33

       Everywhere you go.... everywhere. Everything is available to everyone, except inside your house. Like, people are gonna tinfoil up the inside of their bedrooms just to try to keep people out.

   13. JVJamie Vernon1:00:43

       Mm-hmm.

   14. JRJoe Rogan1:00:43

       And then you have the fucking television that probably has a webcam on it, you know?

   15. JVJamie Vernon1:00:48

       Yeah.

   16. JRJoe Rogan1:00:48

       People probably watching you fuck, Jamie.

   17. JVJamie Vernon1:00:50

       They do watch. They listen to the- like, some TVs have that stuff on to listen to what's going on in your house and what you're- w- they cross-reference as audio signals. Alexa, Sirius, all of that is.

   18. JRJoe Rogan1:00:59

       Yeah, they're listening to everything.

   19. JVJamie Vernon1:01:00

       Mm-hmm.

   20. JRJoe Rogan1:01:01

       I mean, even contractors who work for Alexa, and- and Apple Pods and all that shit. But- or I think Apple's one of the ones th- is- is- is that Apple as well? Because Apple's pretty damn strict on privacy, which is kinda interesting. It's one of the reasons why Apple Maps is not very good.

   21. JVJamie Vernon1:01:18

       Yeah.

   22. JRJoe Rogan1:01:18

       'Cause they don't collect data on everybody the way Google does. Like, th- the benefit of the Google Map coll- uh, the Google data collection is you get like really detailed analytics on everything. And so they know exactly what's going ... That's why something like Waze works so well, 'cause there's so many different people giving up information, you know? That's- I mean-

   23. JVJamie Vernon1:01:37

       Yeah.

   24. JRJoe Rogan1:01:37

       ... it shows you where the slowdowns are and where the cops are and, you know, it's- it's- there's benefits to it, it's super effective, but the drawbacks are you're going down this weird road where these companies are selling your information. That's what- what Google is, is a company that provides you data, they provide you information, but they're also selling your data. They're constantly selling what you're interested in. Like if you ever went and- like say, like you're interested in a watch. Like, "I wanna get a new watch. Let me look at watches." Every fucking time you go to any website now, those Google ads will be a watch.

   25. JVJamie Vernon1:02:13

       Yeah.

   26. JRJoe Rogan1:02:14

       It's weird. It's like they're- they're- they're just tempting you, like c'mon Jamie.

   27. JVJamie Vernon1:02:18

       I was listening to a podcast about the beginning of th- th- his- the history of the internet. It's called like Mint Cast, this was a couple of months ago. But, he was talking about how like when ARPANET was starting up in the '60s, there were a lot of protests about just even turning it on, because people were new that it was gonna be a surveillance system, like sort of like what is happening now.

   28. JRJoe Rogan1:02:36

       Really?

   29. JVJamie Vernon1:02:37

       Yeah.

   30. JRJoe Rogan1:02:37

       Even back then?
