1. 0:00 – 15:00

   Three, two, one. Jessie…

   1. JRJoe Rogan0:00

      Three, two, one. Jessie May.

   2. JPJessimae Peluso0:03

      Rogan.

   3. JRJoe Rogan0:04

      Good to see you.

   4. JPJessimae Peluso0:05

      Joseph. Do people call you Joseph?

   5. JRJoe Rogan0:07

      Uh, my mom does.

   6. JPJessimae Peluso0:08

      Oh, that's sweet.

   7. JRJoe Rogan0:09

      Yeah.

   8. JPJessimae Peluso0:09

      What's your middle name?

   9. JRJoe Rogan0:10

      She's basically a James.

   10. JPJessimae Peluso0:11

       Joseph James sounds like an author.

   11. JRJoe Rogan0:13

       Yes. Hmm, maybe I should write books.

   12. JPJessimae Peluso0:14

       I can't believe you haven't written a book.

   13. JRJoe Rogan0:15

       Ah, I tried.

   14. JPJessimae Peluso0:17

       What-

   15. JRJoe Rogan0:17

       Started doing one o- a long time ago. I had a deal for a book, like, 12 years ago, and the dealing with the editors was so gross. They wanted ... They basically wanted me to just transcribe standup, and I, I wanted to write a bunch of weird shit.

   16. JPJessimae Peluso0:31

       Didn't Judy Carter already do that? You remember the Judy-

   17. JRJoe Rogan0:34

       Ah.

   18. JPJessimae Peluso0:34

       (laughs) Do you remember that book?

   19. JRJoe Rogan0:35

       Yeah. The books on ... Is that the worst genre ever, books on how to do standup?

   20. JPJessimae Peluso0:40

       (laughs) Yeah.

   21. JRJoe Rogan0:40

       They might be the most piss poor books ever. Belzer had a pretty good one. Be- Belzer had a decent one. I think it was, uh ... (sighs) What did ... Well, he had a couple of them. He had one on standup, and he had one on UFOs, Bigfoot, and JFK. Belzer is a crazy-

   22. JPJessimae Peluso0:53

       Those all go together.

   23. JRJoe Rogan0:54

       Do you know him? Richard Belzer?

   24. JPJessimae Peluso0:55

       I don't know him personally, but, I mean, he's a legend for sure. He's, he's-

   25. JRJoe Rogan0:58

       He's a crazy conspiracy theorist.

   26. JPJessimae Peluso1:01

       That makes sense.

   27. JRJoe Rogan1:01

       Like, off the deep end.

   28. JPJessimae Peluso1:02

       Yeah.

   29. JRJoe Rogan1:03

       Yeah.

   30. JPJessimae Peluso1:03

       Is he, like ... Rate him with Sam Tripoli. Is it just as crazy?
2. 15:00 – 30:00

   It is. It's all…

   1. JRJoe Rogan15:00

      like, however they influence you, however your microbiome influences you, collectively are you, and you know that. You just assume that there's one. But meanwhile, it's this crazy fucking world-

   2. JPJessimae Peluso15:12

      It is. It's all interconnected.

   3. JRJoe Rogan15:12

      ... in your body, on your body. It's all interconnected.

   4. JPJessimae Peluso15:15

      Do you ever talk to your cells?

   5. JRJoe Rogan15:17

      No. Do you?

   6. JPJessimae Peluso15:18

      (laughs) That's so weird. (laughs)

   7. JRJoe Rogan15:19

      Do you talk to your cells?

   8. JPJessimae Peluso15:20

      I do. I t- I, I say that, like, in a sense of, I thank, I thank my existence and my being for, for taking care of me.

   9. JRJoe Rogan15:29

      Dude.

   10. JPJessimae Peluso15:29

       Like, I express gratitude to myself on a, on a microscopic level, on a, on a molecular level.

   11. JRJoe Rogan15:35

       Like talking to plants and making them grow.

   12. JPJessimae Peluso15:37

       I talk to my plants. Yeah.

   13. JRJoe Rogan15:39

       They say that that's real, right? Like, if you play plants music, they actually grow better.

   14. JPJessimae Peluso15:43

       Yeah. I wonder if there's plants that like Cardi B.

   15. JRJoe Rogan15:45

       Am I just making up-

   16. JPJessimae Peluso15:46

       Or if it's all just, like ...

   17. NANarrator15:47

       No, no, no. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

   18. JRJoe Rogan15:48

       That's ... Is that real?

   19. JPJessimae Peluso15:48

       No, it's real. Yeah.

   20. NANarrator15:49

       (laughs)

   21. JRJoe Rogan15:49

       But there, was there a study on that?

   22. JPJessimae Peluso15:50

       Absolutely.

   23. NANarrator15:51

       There was. I did it. Yup, yup, yup.

   24. JRJoe Rogan15:51

       But though that-

   25. JPJessimae Peluso15:52

       That they grow more flourishly, they, they, uh, flourishly. Is that a word? Uh, they, they flourish more with, with music in their growing process.

   26. JRJoe Rogan15:58

       Have you ever been high in a grow op?

   27. JPJessimae Peluso16:01

       I don't even know what you just said to me.

   28. JRJoe Rogan16:02

       High in a grow op, like a grow op, where they're-

   29. JPJessimae Peluso16:04

       Oh, a grow, oh, yeah, no. (laughs)

   30. JRJoe Rogan16:05

       ... growing weed, walking through weed high.
3. 30:00 – 45:00

   (laughs) …

   1. JRJoe Rogan30:00

      and I th- I think it said something like, "If these people ain't dead in 14 days, I'ma go out."

   2. JPJessimae Peluso30:05

      (laughs)

   3. JRJoe Rogan30:06

      (laughs)

   4. JPJessimae Peluso30:06

      But also, like... (laughs)

   5. JRJoe Rogan30:08

      'Cause these people are partying with masks on. Like, it's so crazy.

   6. JPJessimae Peluso30:11

      They're partying in my apartment as well. Like, not my per- where I personally live-

   7. JRJoe Rogan30:15

      The building?

   8. JPJessimae Peluso30:16

      But the building, people have been having Houseparties.

   9. JRJoe Rogan30:19

      (laughs)

   10. JPJessimae Peluso30:19

       Having them. Chilling. I hear there's a Cards Against Humanity happening a lot.

   11. JRJoe Rogan30:23

       Oh, my God.

   12. JPJessimae Peluso30:24

       It's, it's wild. And i- like-

   13. JRJoe Rogan30:26

       Did you see the beach? Oh, there's the b- there it is right there.

   14. JPJessimae Peluso30:28

       Look at!

   15. JRJoe Rogan30:29

       There's the beach.

   16. JPJessimae Peluso30:29

       Look at the dude with the mask.

   17. JRJoe Rogan30:31

       If don't nobody from this house party die in 14 days, I'm going outside. (laughs)

   18. JPJessimae Peluso30:36

       And also-

   19. JRJoe Rogan30:36

       (laughs)

   20. JPJessimae Peluso30:37

       ... why is it so bright? Wh- It looks more-

   21. JRJoe Rogan30:39

       It's-

   22. JPJessimae Peluso30:39

       ... like a meeting that just let out in a, in a, in a business. (laughs) Where are they?

   23. JRJoe Rogan30:44

       Well, maybe it is. Maybe this is bullshit.

   24. JPJessimae Peluso30:46

       (laughs) That's the thing, like-

   25. JRJoe Rogan30:48

       Or maybe someone turned the lights on and took a picture.

   26. JPJessimae Peluso30:50

       How do we know... These photos, so many photos are doctored-

   27. JRJoe Rogan30:53

       Yeah.

   28. JPJessimae Peluso30:53

       ... like you talked about the, the picture from the w- the beach. How do we even know what date that's from? I'm sure a lot of these things you can sort of track, but... Then they posted a picture about, you know, the stay, the anti-stay-at-home protestors. It was a photo from, like, an election from 2011, one thing I saw.

   29. JRJoe Rogan31:08

       I think that's just lazy journalism. They're just clickbait people, but-

   30. JPJessimae Peluso31:11

       That's interesting. That is.
4. 45:00 – 1:00:00

   (laughs) …

   1. JRJoe Rogan45:00

      crazy. (laughs)

   2. JPJessimae Peluso45:01

      (laughs)

   3. JRJoe Rogan45:01

      Like, it's a fraction. Cigarettes are so bad.

   4. JPJessimae Peluso45:03

      They're so, so bad.

   5. JRJoe Rogan45:05

      They're the worst.

   6. JPJessimae Peluso45:06

      But I get what you're saying. It's definitely, uh, y- you know, it's, you know, you're pumping pharmaceuticals and that's okay, but people who are in jail because of marijuana-

   7. JRJoe Rogan45:16

      Yeah.

   8. JPJessimae Peluso45:16

      ... it's fucking ridiculous.

   9. JRJoe Rogan45:17

      And, and some of it's just possession in some states.

   10. JPJessimae Peluso45:19

       Just, yeah, just having it on you.

   11. JRJoe Rogan45:20

       Having a couple ounces. CDC's response to the opioid overdose epidemic in 2017-

   12. JPJessimae Peluso45:25

       Yeah.

   13. JRJoe Rogan45:25

       More than 70,000 people died from drug overdoses, making it a leading cause of injury-related death in the United States. Out o- out of those deaths, almost 68% involved a prescription or illicit opioid.

   14. JPJessimae Peluso45:38

       And a lot of these people who get onto opioids, they never did drugs before.

   15. JRJoe Rogan45:43

       That's not a word I say with confidence, opioid.

   16. JPJessimae Peluso45:45

       Opioid is a tough one. It's a weird-

   17. JRJoe Rogan45:46

       It's, it's ... That's why when I'm saying it, I'm like, "Are you saying that right? Opioid?" Op- opiate.

   18. JPJessimae Peluso45:48

       It's a weird wo- word. It's fucking up the rest of my words.

   19. JRJoe Rogan45:51

       'Cause it was like opiates, I could say that. Opioid, ooh.

   20. JPJessimae Peluso45:54

       And illicit opioid together is a, is a tough grouping.

   21. JRJoe Rogan45:57

       There's so many people dying of that stuff. And so, yeah-

   22. JPJessimae Peluso46:00

       And those are legal ... That's legally prescribed.

   23. JRJoe Rogan46:02

       Yeah. Mm-hmm.

   24. JPJessimae Peluso46:02

       We're talking about a, uh-

   25. JRJoe Rogan46:03

       Yeah.

   26. JPJessimae Peluso46:03

       ... quote-unquote "legal drug" that is on the market. (laughs)

   27. JRJoe Rogan46:06

       Yeah. And they try to give it to you too. I had my nose fixed. I had a, uh, deviated septum and they put this thing in my nose and cut out all the scar tissue. It was really bad. Like, uh, I was listening to myself talk from like 30, 20, 20-something years ago, and, uh, I, I was like, "God, I'm so nasally." And I realized that's what it was.

   28. JPJessimae Peluso46:25

       (laughs)

   29. JRJoe Rogan46:25

       Like, my nose didn't work. It was useless. I had like one quarter of one nostril that I could get air out of. The rest was all smashed up. So they fixed it, but it really didn't hurt. And I'm not trying to be a tough guy. It really didn't hurt. It just didn't hurt. Like, after it was over, it was like, yeah, my nose is a little numb, but I'm not like, "Ah, I'm in pain." It's like it certainly hurts, but it's not like I need a drug. And the guy offered me two different (laughs) kinds of pills. He offered me like Vicodin and, and Percocets or one of those fucking things. One of them was hardcore, whichever one it was. I was like, "Jesus, man."

   30. JPJessimae Peluso46:59

       Don't they get ... I mean, they used to get, you know, perks for prescribing and they would get perks for how much they prescribed out to people.
5. 1:00:00 – 1:05:05

   (laughs) …

   1. JRJoe Rogan1:00:00

      say it that way from now on.

   2. JPJessimae Peluso1:00:03

      (laughs)

   3. JRJoe Rogan1:00:03

      (laughs)

   4. JPJessimae Peluso1:00:03

      I'm sorry, Shia. I'm a big fan.

   5. JRJoe Rogan1:00:04

      I think that's how you say it. Is that how you say it?

   6. JPJessimae Peluso1:00:06

      (laughs) How do you say it? LeBoof?

   7. JRJoe Rogan1:00:09

      Um, what is Peanut Butter Falcon?

   8. JPJessimae Peluso1:00:09

      It sounds like something that gay guys do in- in France.

   9. JRJoe Rogan1:00:12

      Pfft. How dare you.

   10. JPJessimae Peluso1:00:13

       LeBoof? I'm sorry. Um...

   11. JRJoe Rogan1:00:14

       LeBoof?

   12. JPJessimae Peluso1:00:14

       LeBoof. Uh, Peanut Butter Falcon was this great movie about, uh, this- this special needs kid and his friend that he picks up along the way and the journey that they make together, like a total-

   13. JRJoe Rogan1:00:25

       Oh, wow.

   14. JPJessimae Peluso1:00:25

       ... you know, feel-good movie, but it- it features this really talented special needs actor that... It just... It's a heartwarming film. And Shia's... He's a great actor.

   15. JRJoe Rogan1:00:34

       Did you ever see that thing where he... When Trump was elected, he was getting people to chant, "He will not divide us. He will not divide us."

   16. JPJessimae Peluso1:00:44

       Yeah.

   17. JRJoe Rogan1:00:45

       Did you see that?

   18. JPJessimae Peluso1:00:45

       I remember something about that. Where- where was he? (laughs)

   19. JRJoe Rogan1:00:47

       Well, this is- this is why it became funny. Was it Reddit or 4Chan? 4Chan, right?... that did it, 4chan. So there's this, this, uh, website of, uh, mischievous people called for- 4chan, and they, uh, found out that he had set up, on his website, he had a webcam, uh, on this flag that said "he will not divide us." And he had this flag, like, in the middle of Oklahoma somewhere on a webcam stream on his website. So the- the geniuses, these nerd geniuses, decided to triangulate where that was based on the stars that you could see in the webcam in the distance. They figured out where it was on planet Earth. Then they had someone drive around in a truck and honk the horn while another person was listening to the webcam and see if it gets louder or quieter. So as they got closer and closer, they f- it's genius shit. They finally got to the webcam. They took the flag down. The guy looks in front of the camera and goes, "Fuck Shia LaBeouf."

   20. JPJessimae Peluso1:01:44

       (laughs)

   21. JRJoe Rogan1:01:45

       (laughs)

   22. JPJessimae Peluso1:01:45

       That... I- I have to say, that's a, that was a fucking rollercoaster of a story.

   23. JRJoe Rogan1:01:49

       It's genius. It's genius. It was a genius thing. But here's the thing, Radiolab had a whole podcast about it, and it was really interesting, because first of all, no one got hurt, all right? This is not about violence. This is not about terrorism. This is not... No one got hurt.

   24. JPJessimae Peluso1:02:00

       It's about point of views. (laughs)

   25. JRJoe Rogan1:02:02

       This is... But it's also funny. It's also funny. And if you don't think that's funny, well, then you must not have had a job that you hated where you sit in a cubicle and you Google funny shit, because that's funny.

   26. JPJessimae Peluso1:02:10

       It is really fucking funny.

   27. JRJoe Rogan1:02:11

       That's, that is fucking funny. And, look, Shia's gonna get over it. If that's all the guy did is say, "Fuck Shia LaBeouf," that shit's hilarious. If that was me and I- I was a pretentious fuck-

   28. JPJessimae Peluso1:02:20

       (laughs)

   29. JRJoe Rogan1:02:20

       ... and I had a sign that said, "He will not divide us"-

   30. JPJessimae Peluso1:02:21

       Would you show them your butthole? (laughs)
