      Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night. All day. (rock music)

   4. JRJoe Rogan0:14

      Adam Curry.

   5. ACAdam Curry0:16

      Joe Rogan.

   6. JRJoe Rogan0:17

      The Podfather, you are the Podfather. There can be only one.

   7. ACAdam Curry0:20

      Joe Rogan, uh, since you recertified me as the Podfather my life has been so enriched-

   8. JRJoe Rogan0:25

      (laughs)

   9. ACAdam Curry0:25

      ... since March of, uh, 2020 you have given me, uh, an inc- just an incredible new lease on professional life. It's been-

   10. JRJoe Rogan0:34

       That's awesome.

   11. ACAdam Curry0:34

       ... fantastic.

   12. JRJoe Rogan0:35

       Well, I didn't have to recertify you. Everybody knows. You, you're the original.

   13. ACAdam Curry0:39

       Yeah.

   14. JRJoe Rogan0:39

       Without you, there, there, there are no podcasts. Without you.

   15. ACAdam Curry0:42

       But, you know, there are a lot of, uh, podcast listeners who are on the scene now and they're too young to have even ... This is 18 years ago when, when podcasting was first developed.

   16. JRJoe Rogan0:50

       That's so crazy.

   17. ACAdam Curry0:50

       18 years ago.

   18. JRJoe Rogan0:51

       So crazy.

   19. ACAdam Curry0:52

       So they know it maybe from Serial, 2016 or so.

   20. JRJoe Rogan0:55

       Wow. We're 11 years. This is, this show is in the neighborhood, it's gettin' close to 11 years old. It's like 10 and a half years old.

   21. ACAdam Curry1:03

       Mm-hmm.

   22. JRJoe Rogan1:03

       But you, like 18 years-

   23. ACAdam Curry1:06

       Yeah.

   24. JRJoe Rogan1:06

       ... is cra- That's crazy.

   25. ACAdam Curry1:07

       Yeah. And the, and the way it's evolved has been pretty interesting.

   26. JRJoe Rogan1:11

       It is interesting, right? It's like w- the way it's evolving on YouTube is very bizarre. Like, 'cause there's folks that, um, up until fairly recently only did their show on YouTube.

   27. ACAdam Curry1:23

       Mm-hmm.

   28. JRJoe Rogan1:23

       And now I think some of those folks are starting to branch out and they're doing them on other platforms as well. But-

   29. ACAdam Curry1:29

       Well, you know why.

   30. JRJoe Rogan1:30

       With the censorship.
2. 15:00 – 30:00

   Yeah. …

   1. ACAdam Curry15:00

      know, you don't catch most of it, but so much is being propagandized by corporations mainly, uh, but also, you know, just look at the, the reporting. If we can just touch the third rail, January 6th, you know, this is being thr- rammed down our throats as an insurrection, the most dangerous thing that's ever happened since the Civil War. That's our president who said that. Um, I mean, I have eyes, I saw some of it, you know, we, we haven't seen the 10,000 hours of video that's available, but to say that that was a violent insurrection on par with the Civil War or the worst since 9/11 and we need a 9/11-type commission? Uh, I mean...

   2. JRJoe Rogan15:39

      Yeah.

   3. ACAdam Curry15:39

      ... I'm not blind, I watched it live. I saw a lot of what was going on and it just doesn't seem like there's a truth there between what most would say is, "Well, we're just walking in between the lines." No, more happened than that, um, but a violent... And it killed five people. No. Th- you know, three people died of natural causes (laughs) .

   4. JRJoe Rogan15:59

      They were protesters, right? Didn't-

   5. ACAdam Curry16:01

      Yeah, yeah, yeah.

   6. JRJoe Rogan16:01

      ... some of the protesters die if they had heart attacks?

   7. ACAdam Curry16:03

      Mm-hmm.

   8. JRJoe Rogan16:03

      Because it's probably the most exciting moment of their life.

   9. ACAdam Curry16:06

      Yeah. Uh, it happens, you get a big group of people together and, you know, someone's gonna, gonna bite the bullet. Um, you know, the incessant lying about the one Capitol Hill police officer, that he was killed, but he died of a, a, um, of a stroke later that night, you know, he wasn't killed by a fire extinguisher to the head.

   10. JRJoe Rogan16:24

       Yeah, they said he, they beat him to death. Right? That's what everyone is saying.

   11. ACAdam Curry16:26

       Yeah, but it just wasn't true, but that just keeps being repeated and it just becomes lore, it becomes the truth after a while.

   12. JRJoe Rogan16:32

       So he... But he likely died because of the stress caused by that event.

   13. ACAdam Curry16:36

       Well, that ha- that isn't being reported like that.

   14. JRJoe Rogan16:38

       Right. Yeah.

   15. ACAdam Curry16:38

       So, you know. (laughs)

   16. JRJoe Rogan16:39

       Yeah. It's-

   17. ACAdam Curry16:40

       The report was he got bashed in the head with a fire extinguisher.

   18. JRJoe Rogan16:42

       The thing that b- bothered me the most that I didn't hear much discussion at all, that we've talked about a few times on here, is the cops opening up the gates. Like what the fuck was that? And taking selfies with people, like the MAGA-loving cops-

   19. ACAdam Curry16:54

       Mm-hmm.

   20. JRJoe Rogan16:54

       ... that thought it would be a good idea to open the gates and let the protesters through.

   21. ACAdam Curry16:58

       Well, but again, we've only seen what we've seen.

   22. JRJoe Rogan17:01

       Right.

   23. ACAdam Curry17:01

       What has been presented to us. So we don't... Everyone has an agenda, we don't really know wha- what... You know, every angle. Like I'm in this studio, and I saw your studio, and I'm like, I had no idea what it would really look like, because I'm just seeing a little piece of it.

   24. JRJoe Rogan17:15

       Right.

   25. ACAdam Curry17:15

       And now I'm here and I'm like, "Oh, okay, here's the reality of what it really looks like."

   26. JRJoe Rogan17:19

       Mm-hmm.

   27. ACAdam Curry17:19

       It's a very, very different type of situation. Um, but we're, we've gotten to this place where... (sighs) Now, I'm a conspiracy therapist, right?

   28. JRJoe Rogan17:29

       (laughs)

   29. ACAdam Curry17:30

       So, so I look at all different sides. So there's, there's one angle that, that must be discussed and I think we're the guys to talk about it, at least you're- with you is the- is the right place. Um, this could have been something similar to, uh, the Reichstag fire in Weimar Germany.

   30. JRJoe Rogan17:50

       Okay.
3. 30:00 – 45:00

   Jon Stewart is very-…

   1. JRJoe Rogan30:00

      They, they-

   2. ACAdam Curry30:01

      Jon Stewart is very-

   3. JRJoe Rogan30:02

      ... coordinated.

   4. ACAdam Curry30:02

      ... involved in pol- in politics, you know. He's, he's, he's very much-

   5. JRJoe Rogan30:04

      He's also a standup comic, though.

   6. ACAdam Curry30:06

      Well, okay, so maybe it was a joke, but-

   7. JRJoe Rogan30:08

      I-... it's 100% was routine, and he's been doing standup comedy.

   8. ACAdam Curry30:11

      Mm-hmm.

   9. JRJoe Rogan30:12

      You know, he's, he's back on the road. Well, I don't know if he's on the road, but he definitely performed with Dave. He was with Chappelle at, uh, one of Dave's, um, Yellow Springs, Ohio shows.

   10. ACAdam Curry30:22

       But did he promote that when he came on the Colbert Show?

   11. JRJoe Rogan30:25

       Well, this is post that. He- he-

   12. ACAdam Curry30:27

       What- what- what did he come on The Colbert Show for?

   13. JRJoe Rogan30:29

       But wh- what I'm on The Colbert Show for? I don't know what he was promoted for.

   14. ACAdam Curry30:30

       (laughs) Nothing.

   15. JRJoe Rogan30:31

       Are you sure?

   16. ACAdam Curry30:32

       I don't think he-

   17. JRJoe Rogan30:32

       I don't- I'm not- I don't know that.

   18. ACAdam Curry30:33

       I think he was just there to talk about this.

   19. JRJoe Rogan30:35

       I don't know that. Well, we- we could find that out.

   20. ACAdam Curry30:37

       Mm-hmm.

   21. JRJoe Rogan30:37

       But the point is, he had been doing stand up and if he was gonna do- he was gonna burn some material.

   22. ACAdam Curry30:44

       Mm-hmm.

   23. JRJoe Rogan30:44

       You know, that- that would be a good piece of material to burn-

   24. ACAdam Curry30:47

       Ooh.

   25. JRJoe Rogan30:47

       ... because it's, you know, it's not gonna be relevant very much longer-

   26. ACAdam Curry30:52

       It was very funny.

   27. JRJoe Rogan30:53

       ... but it's a good thing.

   28. ACAdam Curry30:53

       It was very- very, very, very funny.

   29. JRJoe Rogan30:54

       But Colbert, this is where I disagree with you, Colbert clearly was trying to hamstring that. He was trying to stop that routine. "Well, if I've sent any evidence, I'd like to hear it." He was fucking up a comedic bit. See, Colbert is a- a brilliant comedic actor as Stephen Colbert on Comedy Central in The Daily Show.

   30. ACAdam Curry31:12

       Mm-hmm.
4. 45:00 – 1:00:00

   That was their- …

   1. ACAdam Curry45:00

      their, uh-

   2. JRJoe Rogan45:00

      That was their-

   3. ACAdam Curry45:01

      ... blue-

   4. JRJoe Rogan45:02

      ... that was their main thing, right?

   5. ACAdam Curry45:02

      ... the blue, blue lo- yeah, that's, that's what they're known for.

   6. JRJoe Rogan45:05

      That's where that logo came from.

   7. ACAdam Curry45:05

      And they licensed the, the technology in order to create this, but those guys, they're paying people on TikTok, uh, it's called Team Halo, to, you know, promote the vaccine. Um, just it's been promoted everywhere, and I think they're behind some of the discreditation of, uh, of the Johnson & Johnson. I mean, if you look at whatever information is available, as many people have had blood clots with every single vaccine, but Johnson Johnson was the one that got singled out and shut down, and they're a competitor, coincidentally.

   8. JRJoe Rogan45:33

      Are you aware of the, uh ... oh, hold on a second. "It's not dose dependent." Oh, wow. So it's not a dose-response relationship-

   9. ACAdam Curry45:41

      Oh.

   10. JRJoe Rogan45:41

       ... "It's about finding the perfect dose for the immune system to get the right amount of stimulation. For most vaccines, it's pretty much one size fits all." Wow. So, th- is that real- like, one size fits all for, like, children? For children and large people?

   11. ACAdam Curry45:55

       For children, pregnant people-

   12. JRJoe Rogan45:57

       (laughs)

   13. ACAdam Curry45:57

       ... everybody. One size fits all. It just seems a little ... (exhales) Yeah, we don't know, man. And, and everyone says, "We really don't know long-term efficacy or long-term effects." We just don't know.

   14. JRJoe Rogan46:08

       Well, yeah.

   15. ACAdam Curry46:08

       Y- d- and that's ... No one can argue with that.

   16. JRJoe Rogan46:10

       No one can ...

   17. ACAdam Curry46:10

       We just don't know.

   18. JRJoe Rogan46:11

       No one can argue that we-

   19. ACAdam Curry46:13

       And then when I hear-

   20. JRJoe Rogan46:13

       ... have not had people take 100-plus million doses and study them over X amount of years. It hasn't happened before.

   21. ACAdam Curry46:22

       If you look at ... (sighs) Man, so many horrible medical accidents (laughs) have happened in the past where everyone just believed, uh-

   22. JRJoe Rogan46:29

       Mm-hmm.

   23. ACAdam Curry46:29

       ... the pharmaceutical industry, and we all, you know, the FDA, it's all ... this, this needs to be, uh, re-engineered. Every- all of these things need to be re-engineered, and I think, like I was saying with social media and YouTube, we're kind of the, the dickheads. We need to walk away. You know, if you don't like what's happening, either vote someone else in or stop buying the product.

   24. JRJoe Rogan46:51

       Well, with the, the, the thing with the pandemic, everybody wanted it all to o- be over, right? Everything was locked down. Everybody wanted it all to be over, and what's the best way for it to be over? Well, just take the vaccine, and then, you know, that-

   25. ACAdam Curry47:04

       I know, but that by itself-

   26. JRJoe Rogan47:05

       ... that's-

   27. ACAdam Curry47:05

       ... is so miraculous that that came together in mere months. And just saying, "Well, it just happened to be ready," no, I don't think it was ready. I don't think anyone ... and that's why it's still emergency use authorization-

   28. JRJoe Rogan47:16

       Mm-hmm.

   29. ACAdam Curry47:16

       ... and we just don't know. Now, it, is the ... a- at this point you have to say, "Well, what is more dangerous, you know, getting COVID and risk dying or, uh, some adverse event from a, from a vaccine that is still under emergency use authorization, hasn't been tested very long?" And, you know, you can look at a million different numbers and make a decision there, but it was definitely out of the ordinary, and I can't imagine any other reason for anyone to say, "Let's do this." We didn't even know much about COVID. We're still learning stuff about it, like that it might have come from a lab. We're learning that now. If you knew that then, wouldn't the vaccines maybe be tailored to that? Or we say, "Hey China, give me some of that, uh, shit you made in the lab so we can tailor our, uh, MRNA vaccine to it." None of that. It stinks.

   30. JRJoe Rogan48:04

       Hm.
5. 1:00:00 – 1:12:46

   I don't, I don't…

   1. JRJoe Rogan1:00:00

      1,700,000 deaths from the vaccine. That's outrageous, and it's not the case. So it's a very small risk, relatively, in te-

   2. ACAdam Curry1:00:09

      I don't, I don't know.

   3. JRJoe Rogan1:00:09

      But, but hold on.

   4. ACAdam Curry1:00:10

      I mean, there's no numbers that I can look at.

   5. JRJoe Rogan1:00:12

      But ho- but hold on.

   6. ACAdam Curry1:00:12

      Mm-hmm.

   7. JRJoe Rogan1:00:12

      So that's true. So what he said is true. He didn't say that it's a terrible thing, don't get it.

   8. ACAdam Curry1:00:19

      No.

   9. JRJoe Rogan1:00:19

      It's killing everybody. It's not what he said. He said there is a risk.Alex Jones says everybody knows someone who's died or who's been hurt by the vaccine. I know people that have had strokes.

   10. ACAdam Curry1:00:30

       Mm-hmm.

   11. JRJoe Rogan1:00:31

       I know people that have had adverse reactions. That's why the VAERS report exists. Now, do I know that they absolutely got those strokes from the vaccine? Of course I don't.

   12. ACAdam Curry1:00:39

       No.

   13. JRJoe Rogan1:00:40

       There's a lot of correlation. Does that mean causation? We don't know. We don't know what... we don't know.

   14. ACAdam Curry1:00:45

       But what he factually said was not incorrect.

   15. JRJoe Rogan1:00:46

       But what... but what he said is not outrageous.

   16. ACAdam Curry1:00:48

       Mm-hmm.

   17. JRJoe Rogan1:00:48

       So he's comparing... they're comparing these things in this really weird, disingenuous way to try to make it look like everything that Carl- Tucker Carlson's saying is insane because Alex Jones says something as well. If Alex Jones says drink water and take vitamins-

   18. ACAdam Curry1:01:03

       Mm-hmm.

   19. JRJoe Rogan1:01:04

       ... and I say drink water, take vitamins, am I Alex Jones? Like, what does that mean? The other thing that he said was the Capitol Hill thing. Now, if there are government files that you... if you could read these government papers that actually do say that there were agent provocateurs that had something to do with the Capitol Hill attack.

   20. ACAdam Curry1:01:22

       Mm-hmm.

   21. JRJoe Rogan1:01:23

       If Alex Jones says that and Tucker Carlson says that, but yet the... the fact remains that it's true, who gives a fuck and how are they making that connection? That connection is so weird. And the connection is just to try to discredit Tucker Carlson. But that this is your news-

   22. ACAdam Curry1:01:39

       (sighs)

   23. JRJoe Rogan1:01:40

       ... that this is coming from-

   24. ACAdam Curry1:01:41

       Okay.

   25. JRJoe Rogan1:01:41

       ... America's trusted news source-

   26. ACAdam Curry1:01:42

       Right.

   27. JRJoe Rogan1:01:42

       ... and that this is how... this is the evidence that... It's not like he's saying, you know... it's not like this a Pizzagate type thing or, again, interdimensional child molesters or something completely crazy. What he's saying are things that aren't crazy to say at all, because he's saying... What Tucker Carlson said in this very small clip, he said there are some risks, right?

   28. ACAdam Curry1:02:03

       Mm-hmm.

   29. JRJoe Rogan1:02:03

       Wasn't that the quote, I think?

   30. ACAdam Curry1:02:04

       Yeah. Mm-hmm.
