Joe Rogan Experience #1450 - Brian Redban

1. 0:00 – 15:00

   Yee-haw! How you hanging…

   1. JRJoe Rogan0:01

      Yee-haw! How you hanging in there, fella?

   2. BRBrian Redban0:05

      Great, man.

   3. JRJoe Rogan0:06

      I think these things are gonna annoy a lot of people.

   4. BRBrian Redban0:09

      (laughs)

   5. JRJoe Rogan0:10

      If you're listening, we're wearing aluminum foil. (laughs)

   6. BRBrian Redban0:14

      (laughs)

   7. JRJoe Rogan0:14

      We're let- we're wearing spacesuits.

   8. BRBrian Redban0:16

      Yeah.

   9. JRJoe Rogan0:16

      God, they're so crunchy.

   10. BRBrian Redban0:17

       There's not many left for me to get. This is the-

   11. JRJoe Rogan0:20

       This is dope.

   12. BRBrian Redban0:20

       Now I'm getting into the- Yeah, the real-

   13. JRJoe Rogan0:21

       This is my favorite one.

   14. BRBrian Redban0:22

       (laughs)

   15. JRJoe Rogan0:23

       I like the orange one for some strange reason.

   16. BRBrian Redban0:25

       Yeah.

   17. JRJoe Rogan0:25

       The white one just seems like I'm a cleanup person.

   18. BRBrian Redban0:27

       (laughs) Yeah.

   19. JRJoe Rogan0:27

       You know? Like you're doing some NASA cleanup, like there's alien bodies you're trying to get rid of. But this feels like we're about to do something special.

   20. BRBrian Redban0:35

       Yeah.

   21. JRJoe Rogan0:35

       About ... We're protected.

   22. BRBrian Redban0:36

       Yeah. I just hope it doesn't start making us sweat and we lose like 100 pounds. Well, I mean-

   23. JRJoe Rogan0:40

       This is the same shit that's on the outside of the lunar module that, that land... You know what I mean? That cheap-looking aluminum foil.

   24. BRBrian Redban0:48

       Oh, yeah. (laughs)

   25. JRJoe Rogan0:49

       It looks like it was stuck on there with gum.

   26. JVJamie Vernon0:50

       Heat shield?

   27. JRJoe Rogan0:51

       Yeah, the heat shield.

   28. JVJamie Vernon0:52

       Is that what they call it, heat shield?

   29. BRBrian Redban0:52

       Mm-hmm.

   30. JRJoe Rogan0:53

       Whatever it is.
2. 15:00 – 30:00

   And stays on the…

   1. BRBrian Redban15:00

      uh, people were talking about how, like, if you let somebody pet your dog, like, if you're walking your dog and somebody goes, "Oh, no," and pets your dog.

   2. JRJoe Rogan15:05

      And stays on the dog.

   3. BRBrian Redban15:05

      And then it's on your dog.

   4. JRJoe Rogan15:06

      Jesus Christ.

   5. BRBrian Redban15:08

      (laughs) Or, like, these Juuls. You put your Juul down on a table. You don't even think about it.

   6. JRJoe Rogan15:13

      Oh, yeah.

   7. BRBrian Redban15:13

      Then you put it in... Right in your mouth. You're looking at a table.

   8. JRJoe Rogan15:14

      You called it a dirty straw the other day. Exactly. You're just holding a dirty straw. (laughs)

   9. BRBrian Redban15:18

      Yeah. Dirty straw.

   10. JRJoe Rogan15:18

       You have that, you have that dirty straw in your pocket all the time. It's always rubbing up against your lint and-

   11. BRBrian Redban15:22

       Right.

   12. JRJoe Rogan15:22

       ... your gum, and...

   13. BRBrian Redban15:23

       Yeah. Luckily, these things are... The, the ends are replaceable, so you're kind of-

   14. JRJoe Rogan15:27

       Just throw it away every five minutes.

   15. BRBrian Redban15:29

       Yeah. (laughs)

   16. JRJoe Rogan15:30

       (laughs) Just have a giant gym bag of them. (laughs)

   17. BRBrian Redban15:33

       (laughs) My girlfriend just got one of those phone cleaners where you put your phone in-

   18. JRJoe Rogan15:36

       Oh, I've seen those.

   19. BRBrian Redban15:36

       ... and it has the UV light.

   20. JRJoe Rogan15:37

       Yeah.

   21. BRBrian Redban15:37

       So now I'm putting everything in it. I'm putting Juuls, car keys.

   22. JRJoe Rogan15:39

       It's a good move. It's a good move. I had heard about those before. Um, I, I didn't know there was a... There was a thing that I found about called a SteriStick, and, uh, they use it when they, uh, go b- back country hiking and stuff, and camping, and it, it purifies water with a stick. Like, it's an electrolyte band and you stick it in-

   23. BRBrian Redban15:57

       Right.

   24. JRJoe Rogan15:57

       ... into this, uh, U-... It's UV light, and you stick it into this, uh, elec-... The... It's like a straw-looking thing.

   25. BRBrian Redban16:05

       Uh, the LifeStraw.

   26. JRJoe Rogan16:05

       Yeah, like a lightsaber.

   27. BRBrian Redban16:06

       Yeah.

   28. JRJoe Rogan16:06

       Remember those kids' lightsabers? (light saber noises)

   29. BRBrian Redban16:08

       Right.

   30. JRJoe Rogan16:08

       That's what it looks like, with the clear on the outside.
3. 30:00 – 45:00

   Yeah. …

   1. JVJamie Vernon30:00

   2. JRJoe Rogan30:00

      Yeah.

   3. JVJamie Vernon30:00

      It's not that big.

   4. JRJoe Rogan30:00

      I bet it's bigger than that.

   5. BRBrian Redban30:01

      So it's like a Burbank at night. Everyone leaves.

   6. JRJoe Rogan30:04

      (laughs)

   7. BRBrian Redban30:04

      And there's no one that actually lives there. (laughs)

   8. JRJoe Rogan30:06

      There's no way it's a million. There's no way it's a million. There's so many people that live there.

   9. JVJamie Vernon30:10

      1.6 it says.

   10. BRBrian Redban30:11

       Wow.

   11. JRJoe Rogan30:11

       Oh my God, that's bonkers. Is that in the '30s?

   12. JVJamie Vernon30:15

       2020.

   13. JRJoe Rogan30:16

       (laughs)

   14. BRBrian Redban30:17

       (laughs) 1930s.

   15. JRJoe Rogan30:20

       1.6. And how many visit there to work every day? That's, that's gotta be fucking stupendous. What do you guess?

   16. BRBrian Redban30:26

       Uh-

   17. JRJoe Rogan30:27

       Every day.

   18. BRBrian Redban30:28

       3.7. (laughs)

   19. JRJoe Rogan30:31

       (laughs) Um, I'm saying five, five million visitors. How many?

   20. JVJamie Vernon30:36

       Uh.

   21. BRBrian Redban30:36

       Ah, 65.2 million tourists in a year.

   22. JRJoe Rogan30:39

       Oh, what does that mean?

   23. JVJamie Vernon30:40

       ... so there's around that many per day.

   24. JRJoe Rogan30:40

       But that's tourists. I mean, uh, commuters.

   25. JVJamie Vernon30:42

       Like work there, yeah.

   26. JRJoe Rogan30:43

       How many people do you think commute there every day? 3.7. It's a, it's an interesting life, man. And th- those people that love it, when they go somewhere else-

   27. JVJamie Vernon30:53

       Yeah.

   28. JRJoe Rogan30:53

       That's as much as it is?

   29. JVJamie Vernon30:54

       1.6 to 3.1 commute every day, so it doubles-

   30. JRJoe Rogan30:57

       Oh.
4. 45:00 – 1:00:00

   It's all at the…

   1. JRJoe Rogan45:00

      Man, this is crazy. US cases, 60.8 million, 274,000 hospitalized, 12,469 deaths in the US. Like, th- I'm just going over all these different ones that happened. Flu of the year of 2020, cases reported, 45 million, hospitas- hospitalizations, 415,000; deaths, 48,000. That's for the 2020 flu, this flu season. There's so many people that died of the flu. But obviously this ha- w- when you see healthcare workers freaking out, you know this is different. So, what is different about it? That's-

   2. BRBrian Redban45:39

      It's all at the same time.

   3. JRJoe Rogan45:40

      Yeah. It's all at the same time-

   4. JVJamie Vernon45:41

      Yeah, it's all at the-

   5. JRJoe Rogan45:42

      ... it's new.

   6. JVJamie Vernon45:42

      Yeah, yeah.

   7. JRJoe Rogan45:42

      It's a new virus. People don't, uh, they don't have immunity for it, they don't really know how to cure it and it attacks the respiratory system. And it seems to have a real quick turnaround from, "I'm not feeling so good," to, "I'm dead." You know, it's, uh, it happens very quickly for some people, shockingly so with some of these r- in ... And it seems to affect different people in different ways. Like, there's a lot going on with this one that has smart people going, "We need to fucking stay home for a bit. Just, uh, everybody chill. No large gatherings."

   8. BRBrian Redban46:11

      Yeah.

   9. JRJoe Rogan46:11

      "Just chill."

   10. BRBrian Redban46:12

       Do you ever get the flu shot every year? I mean, uh, like, I, I feel like I get the flu almost every year, but I-

   11. JRJoe Rogan46:18

       (laughs)

   12. BRBrian Redban46:18

       (laughs) ... I never do the flu shot. Like it's-

   13. JRJoe Rogan46:20

       Well, maybe you should do the other thing.

   14. BRBrian Redban46:21

       Uh, I don't know. Like, I didn't get it last year.

   15. JRJoe Rogan46:23

       I don't get the flu shot.

   16. BRBrian Redban46:24

       Yeah.

   17. JRJoe Rogan46:25

       Yeah.

   18. BRBrian Redban46:25

       Is it-

   19. JRJoe Rogan46:26

       But I, I would.

   20. BRBrian Redban46:26

       ... is that a bad idea? It seems like it's a bad-

   21. JRJoe Rogan46:27

       I've survived and been healthy by just, uh, eating well and not getting the flu shot and then making sure I'm in the sauna and I exercise well and sleep well and I've been able to shake it off. But, uh, it's a good move. It's probably ... I probably should get the flu shot. And if I got the flu again, maybe I'd be like, "Fuck, man. I shoulda got the flu shot. Let me just get that flu shot." But, I mean, whether it's diet or whether it's, um, all this shit I'm on, all the different vitamins and hormones and the fact that I'm in the fucking sauna for 25 minutes every day, but I rarely get sick.

   22. BRBrian Redban47:02

       It seems like you would get it more just because you're around, like, you know, gyms and saunas and, like, places where there's a lot of sweat and-

   23. JRJoe Rogan47:09

       The only cooties I've gotten in the gym that scare me is staph.

   24. BRBrian Redban47:12

       Yeah.

   25. JRJoe Rogan47:12

       I've gotten staph a couple of times. That scares me.

   26. BRBrian Redban47:15

       Did you ever get ringworm?

   27. JRJoe Rogan47:16

       Yeah, I got that a bunch of times. I got that twice at least, maybe three times, which is not that bad. You put Lamisil on it, stay off the mat for a little bit. And then the products that I started using, um, prevented or, uh, saved me from that. It's a company called Defense Soap.

   28. BRBrian Redban47:29

       Yeah. I've got that. I use that.

   29. JRJoe Rogan47:30

       You know, uh, yeah, it's the shit because it's all natural stuff. It's all tea tree oil and eucalyptus oil. And it's, it's not antibiotic in that doesn't kill off all the good bacteria. It just coats your body with this soap and it's all, like, natural. It, it, it kills the bad bacteria, but it doesn't kill good bacteria. I don't understand how that works, folks. But people have known that forever. The tea tree oil and eucalyptus oil-

   30. BRBrian Redban47:53

       Yeah.
5. 1:00:00 – 1:11:37

   Oh, the flu. …

   1. JRJoe Rogan1:00:00

      61,000 people. Now, the other one was the big one at the end, the flu for this year, for 2020.

   2. GMGuest (unidentified, friend/associate on mic)1:00:08

      Oh, the flu.

   3. JRJoe Rogan1:00:09

      Cases reported, 45 million.

   4. GMGuest (unidentified, friend/associate on mic)1:00:12

      Wow.

   5. JRJoe Rogan1:00:13

      Hospitalizations, 415,000. Deaths, 48,000.

   6. GMGuest (unidentified, friend/associate on mic)1:00:18

      Hm. That's worldwide?

   7. JRJoe Rogan1:00:20

      No, that's the United States.

   8. GMGuest (unidentified, friend/associate on mic)1:00:21

      Oh, really?

   9. JRJoe Rogan1:00:22

      Yeah.

   10. GMGuest (unidentified, friend/associate on mic)1:00:23

       Wow.

   11. JRJoe Rogan1:00:24

       I know. That's what I'm saying.

   12. GMGuest (unidentified, friend/associate on mic)1:00:25

       I haven't even heard about the flu this year.

   13. JRJoe Rogan1:00:27

       Well, that's the thing. It's like-

   14. GMGuest (unidentified, friend/associate on mic)1:00:29

       (laughs)

   15. JRJoe Rogan1:00:29

       ... it's not sexy 'cause it happens every year.

   16. GMGuest (unidentified, friend/associate on mic)1:00:31

       (laughs) Right.

   17. JRJoe Rogan1:00:32

       You know? It's like the sky monster. If the sky monster never appeared before and then one day the first tornado hit and tore apart Nashville, we'd be like, "What in the fuck is ... God's mad at us." Right? That's how they used to feel back in the-

   18. GMGuest (unidentified, friend/associate on mic)1:00:44

       That's just one person's case. I r- remember last week, I read someone that got tested for the flu and they tested positive, and then weeks later got tested for the COVID-19 and then tested positive for that. But they weren't tested for COVID at the time. They were tested for the flu because they didn't have a test.

   19. JRJoe Rogan1:00:58

       Right.

   20. GMGuest (unidentified, friend/associate on mic)1:00:58

       So there could be a lot of people that tested positive for the flu maybe that-

   21. JRJoe Rogan1:01:02

       Sure.

   22. GMGuest (unidentified, friend/associate on mic)1:01:03

       ... never had a COVID-19 test.

   23. JRJoe Rogan1:01:04

       Yeah. Could be. Yeah, I mean-... do they... I mean, (sighs) it, I guess, it depends on whether or not they have the test available in different places too, right?

   24. JVJamie Vernon1:01:15

       I'm just now reading too. There's a new, new test that just got, just made today that's faster results.

   25. BRBrian Redban1:01:20

       Oh, yeah. Yeah.

   26. JVJamie Vernon1:01:20

       Like, two weeks or something like that.

   27. BRBrian Redban1:01:20

       There's a five-minute test, like, it's like an Easy-Bake Oven of testing.

   28. JRJoe Rogan1:01:24

       Jamie, what are we gonna do if you test positive?

   29. BRBrian Redban1:01:26

       Oh, yeah.

   30. JVJamie Vernon1:01:26

       I don't know.
