   8. JRJoe Rogan0:20

      Hold on a second.

   9. NANarrator0:20

      Yeah, you're good.

   10. BRBrian Redban0:20

       I don't wanna say this.

   11. JRJoe Rogan0:21

       We running?

   12. NANarrator0:22

       Yeah.

   13. JRJoe Rogan0:22

       Yeah, we're running. Yeah. No, you have the best show in comedy. Kill, Kill Tony is the best live standup show that's ever existed. It's the best.

   14. BRBrian Redban0:29

       It's f- it's fun.

   15. JRJoe Rogan0:29

       It's the best.

   16. BRBrian Redban0:30

       Yeah. And it has such a great, you know, like, we learn about new comics in it, you know?

   17. JRJoe Rogan0:35

       Yeah.

   18. BRBrian Redban0:35

       And that, and that's great for ev- all of us, knowing who's good, who's bad, you know.

   19. JRJoe Rogan0:39

       Think about all the people that came from it. Hans, William.

   20. BRBrian Redban0:42

       Mm-hmm.

   21. JRJoe Rogan0:42

       You know, like, all, all these fucking people from the past. Preacher Lawson.

   22. BRBrian Redban0:46

       Yeah. Yeah.

   23. JRJoe Rogan0:47

       You know? I mean, how many guys came from Kill Tony?

   24. BRBrian Redban0:50

       Tons.

   25. JRJoe Rogan0:51

       Right?

   26. BRBrian Redban0:51

       Mm-hmm.

   27. JRJoe Rogan0:52

       It's fucking ... It's, it's such a great show, dude. You guys are ... It's awesome. It's so y- ... And you guys have it so down now, you know? Like, with the band behind you, and like everyone's in sync, and-

   28. BRBrian Redban1:04

       Mm-hmm.

   29. JRJoe Rogan1:04

       It's so good. Tony is so fucking good at hosting too.

   30. BRBrian Redban1:08

       Yeah. It's, uh, insane. He, and he's gotten so much better, you know?
2. 15:00 – 30:00

   (laughs) …

   1. BRBrian Redban15:00

      out. He passed out on... 'cause, 'cause of that. And Tony Hinchcliffe ran off stage and, uh, had to s- take off his shirt and sit outside-

   2. JRJoe Rogan15:07

      (laughs)

   3. BRBrian Redban15:07

      ... on the curb in the middle of winter.

   4. JRJoe Rogan15:11

      (laughs)

   5. BRBrian Redban15:11

      (laughs)

   6. JRJoe Rogan15:11

      (laughs)

   7. BRBrian Redban15:12

      Yeah.

   8. JRJoe Rogan15:13

      That's the place where I did that video with The Iron Sheik.

   9. BRBrian Redban15:15

      Oh, that's right.

   10. JRJoe Rogan15:16

       Yeah, The Iron Sheik was in the crowd.

   11. BRBrian Redban15:18

       That's crazy that he was there.

   12. JRJoe Rogan15:19

       Yeah. That was fun. D- if, if you wanted to choose, though, between alcohol and a weed crowd... Oh, God.

   13. BRBrian Redban15:27

       Ooh.

   14. JRJoe Rogan15:27

       I'd kinda go with alcohol.

   15. BRBrian Redban15:28

       Alcohol crowd. (laughs)

   16. JRJoe Rogan15:29

       Alcohol crowd for the win, right?

   17. BRBrian Redban15:31

       Yeah, 'cause the weed crowd would just be staring at you and getting lost, like they're n- like, thinking-

   18. JRJoe Rogan15:34

       Getting super scared.

   19. BRBrian Redban15:35

       Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

   20. JRJoe Rogan15:36

       "He's making jokes about me. Oh."

   21. BRBrian Redban15:39

       Y- yeah.

   22. JRJoe Rogan15:40

       (laughs)

   23. BRBrian Redban15:40

       It... but the alcohol crowds suck too, especially bar alcohol crowds where-

   24. JRJoe Rogan15:45

       Yeah.

   25. BRBrian Redban15:45

       ... people are just rowdy and...

   26. JRJoe Rogan15:46

       Yeah. Sometimes people get... they get out of hand. But that's just part of being a person.

   27. BRBrian Redban15:50

       Mm-hmm.

   28. JRJoe Rogan15:51

       You know? People get out of hand. Some people just not that good with alcohol. It's weird that it's g- that's a genetic thing for some folks. You know, p- people of, uh, a- different ancestral origins, different, uh, parts of the world, it's interesting how they handle alcohol differently. Like, pe- (laughs) like, people from Russia can fucking handle some alcohol, right? Like, notorious for it. There's, like, r- certain... Irish can handle some fucking alcohol, right? But there's some, some ethnicities that have a difficult issue with it 'cause they don't have, like, a long history of exposure to it in their past.

   29. BRBrian Redban16:29

       Yeah. It's also how much you s- like, when did you start? Like, Bert Kreischer, uh, I mean, that dude should be dead, you know?

   30. JRJoe Rogan16:36

       Should be dead.
3. 30:00 – 45:00

   Well then, finally, we,…

   1. JRJoe Rogan30:00

      And so, when they did it w- with animal studies, when they did it, they show-... It showed that the males, um, all came out, like, m- more feminine and with smaller taints and the, the whole deal. And it's all about how many, uh... You know, what, what kind, what kind of chemicals the mother has in her body when she conceives. It's wild stuff, man, because it's... Like, the implications are if we don't stop using them, then we're, we're g- gonna change the species.... over plastic. Like, it'll change what it means to be a male human. 'Cause it won't be like a male human used to be before plastics. It's crazy. If that really ... I- imagine if it's, like, unavoidable. You can't get it out of, of humans and it's just gonna keep feminizing males and, and turning their taints into smaller and smaller little patches of land.

   2. BRBrian Redban30:54

      Well then, finally, we, we, it doesn't matter, you know? We could have guys and girls play the same sports together.

   3. NANarrator31:00

      (laughs)

   4. JRJoe Rogan31:00

      (laughs)

   5. BRBrian Redban31:00

      Right? (laughs)

   6. NANarrator31:01

      One day.

   7. JRJoe Rogan31:01

      One day.

   8. BRBrian Redban31:02

      One day. (laughs)

   9. NANarrator31:03

      One day. (laughs)

   10. BRBrian Redban31:03

       Maybe that's where we're headed.

   11. NANarrator31:04

       Yeah. Maybe it's already started.

   12. JRJoe Rogan31:06

       Well, maybe that's what this, uh, obsession with gender thing is about. Maybe this is all, like, a natural process that turns us into the, that look, that alien look. You know? With genderless-

   13. NANarrator31:15

       Mm-hmm.

   14. JRJoe Rogan31:16

       ... big giant heads and spindly bodies and you can read minds. I bet, I bet that's exactly what's happening. I know that sounds stupid, I really do. I know it sounds stupid. But, but maybe that's what's happening. Could you imagine if that's really what the fucking deal is?

   15. BRBrian Redban31:33

       (laughs)

   16. JRJoe Rogan31:35

       That it's just, this is how the animal evolves. Like, the only way we're gonna get past, like, all the horrible things we do, like war and m- murder and rape and torture and s- and thievery and d- deception, all the things that humans do that's awful, it's all tied to these monkey instincts we have. It's all tied to being a, a, an a- an ancient primate species that has evolved to this point. The things that are holding us back are all these biological needs. You know, the need for food, the, the greed, and, and, and f- uh, fucking envy, and, you know, rage, and all the ... Those are all emotions. If we could just rid of those, that would be nice. Now, when s- when you see super genius people that are not very emotional, what if that is, like, a move towards a new kind of human being? What if all this stuff is a move towards a new type of ... And then while this is all happening, they inject technology into your body. There's a neural link or something along those lines, and you can fucking move things with your mind now. Uh, you don't even need arms. That's probably where we're going. It's probably not that far away either, like, 100 years, 200 years.

   17. BRBrian Redban32:51

       I'm more concerned about that artificial intelligence, that Google guy that quit, uh, or got fired. Have you heard about this? He-

   18. JRJoe Rogan32:58

       Yes.

   19. BRBrian Redban32:58

       Oh, you already talked about it.

   20. JRJoe Rogan32:59

       Yes.

   21. BRBrian Redban32:59

       You said it probably. (laughs)

   22. NANarrator33:00

       (laughs)

   23. JRJoe Rogan33:00

       No, yeah. No, I talked about it with a guy who understands these things yesterday.

   24. BRBrian Redban33:04

       Oh, okay.

   25. JRJoe Rogan33:04

       Marc Andreessen. And, um, it's really interesting 'cause I'm too dumb to really know. I'm, I'm, you know, not very informed about, like, how these things work, what these programs were. But what he was saying that made a lot of sense, he goes, "This thing is using Google and it's, it's literally using, like, all of the interactions with human beings. And it knows responses to, like, a fucking insane number of questions. So it can use this program to communicate with you. And if you ask it to convince you that it's alive, it can figure out how to get the words together. But if you asked it to convince you that it's not alive, it would also figure out a way to form that."

   26. BRBrian Redban33:52

       But that alone is, like, what a, a human could do. Could either, you know, act, or ... (laughs)

   27. JRJoe Rogan33:56

       Right. That's the problem. The problem is I think we're waiting for, like, an energy that propels it, like a s- like, a soul. Right?

   28. BRBrian Redban34:04

       Mm-hmm.

   29. JRJoe Rogan34:04

       'Cause if it already has all of ... What are ... Like, most people's lives, you're interacting with people, you're learning from these interactions, you read about things that inspire you to be better, maybe you watch a documentary about someone that's really, really cool and inspires you to be better, and you're learning about what it means to be a person. Well, if they can just do that and just download it off the internet instantaneously and become infinitely smarter than you'll ever be, the only thing that's missing is, like, a soul. Like, a thing that makes them act.

   30. BRBrian Redban34:37

       That's why we're- they're gonna find out mixing technology with that and, like, a frog or something that has a soul. Something that's stupid, like, you know ... Well, that frog probably has a soul.
4. 45:00 – 1:00:00

   Gotta put your drink…

   1. BRBrian Redban45:00

      just gotta deal with that.

   2. JRJoe Rogan45:01

      Gotta put your drink down.

   3. BRBrian Redban45:02

      (laughs) It's kind of scary, though. Like, there's a, like, jump scares. You're like, "Oh my God." Like, 'cause it, it feels like somebody just pounded on the, on your back.

   4. JRJoe Rogan45:09

      Oh, wow.

   5. BRBrian Redban45:09

      It's almost too much.

   6. JRJoe Rogan45:11

      No, I've never been to one of those.

   7. NANarrator45:12

      (eerie music) Highly recommended. Wow, it's different when you don't see it in 3D though, huh? (laughs)

   8. JRJoe Rogan45:23

      Still looks dope. You ever do that ride at Disneyland, or Disney World rather?

   9. NANarrator45:29

      Uh, no. I haven't been back to Disney-

   10. JRJoe Rogan45:31

       Dude.

   11. NANarrator45:31

       ... in a long time.

   12. JRJoe Rogan45:32

       Disney World has two Avatar rides. One of them is called Flights of Passage.

   13. NANarrator45:38

       Yeah.

   14. JRJoe Rogan45:39

       And it's a HD thing that you put on these goggles and you sit on a motorcycle-looking thing.

   15. NANarrator45:43

       Yeah.

   16. JRJoe Rogan45:43

       And it's, it's one of these dragons. It looks like a motorcycle. And then the, the goggles pop on and then, shoop, and it brings you into this virtual reality world where you're flying on a fucking dragon-

   17. NANarrator45:54

       Yeah.

   18. JRJoe Rogan45:54

       ... in the Avatar world. It's amazing. I mean, it's fucking amazing.

   19. NANarrator46:02

       Yeah, I can't wait. It's been a long time. This movie's been in the works, what, for like 10 years or something?

   20. JRJoe Rogan46:09

       Dude, this movie was so good it made gigantic blue ladies with huge cat eyes hot. (laughs)

   21. NANarrator46:15

       Yeah. Yeah, I've watched a few, few of those fake porn too with the Avatar girl on it.

   22. JRJoe Rogan46:19

       Oh, they must have those. I knew it.

   23. NANarrator46:21

       Oh, yeah, they do. I've seen it.

   24. JRJoe Rogan46:22

       I knew it.

   25. NANarrator46:23

       (laughs)

   26. JRJoe Rogan46:24

       This looks wild.

   27. NANarrator46:25

       This family...

   28. This came out, like, when the podcast started.

   29. BRBrian Redban46:28

       Yeah.

   30. JRJoe Rogan46:29

       Yeah.
5. 1:00:00 – 1:15:00

   Uh, I mean, I…

   1. JRJoe Rogan1:00:00

      He'd be like 18 years old entering high school. Like, can you even do that?

   2. BRBrian Redban1:00:05

      Uh, I mean, I got held back, and I was 18 the second half of eighth gr- my last year. (laughs)

   3. JRJoe Rogan1:00:13

      Yeah, but that's normal. That's okay.

   4. BRBrian Redban1:00:15

      Yeah.

   5. JRJoe Rogan1:00:15

      But, like, what year would they say, "Hey, you can't go to high school anymore"?

   6. BRBrian Redban1:00:18

      Yeah. Like, if you get-

   7. JRJoe Rogan1:00:18

      What if-

   8. BRBrian Redban1:00:18

      I think 18.

   9. JRJoe Rogan1:00:19

      What if you start off a loser, right?

   10. BRBrian Redban1:00:21

       Right.

   11. JRJoe Rogan1:00:21

       And you're just, like, sucking your thumb every day in first grade, second grade, third. They keep holding you back. Like, "Brian, you gotta do second grade again." "Fuck you, I'm not doing shit." And you, they keep failing you. You can't w- can't, you can't have all Fs and get to third grade. So they keep holding you back. And next thing you know you're 17 but, you know, you're having a religious experience. God comes to you in a dream and tells you, "Hey man, get your fucking shit together, you're 17. You gotta graduate eighth grade." And so you graduate eighth grade. And then you're 18, you go to high school. Okay, what's the oldest age to be in high school? While it may differ around the world, the United States, the maximum age limit that a person can attend high school for free is about 20 or 21.... in one state, it's 19, in another it's 26.

   12. NANarrator1:01:06

       That's hilarious.

   13. You think it's 26?

   14. JRJoe Rogan1:01:08

       Oh, here's the thing.

   15. NANarrator1:01:09

       Or West Virginia.

   16. JRJoe Rogan1:01:10

       Well, let me ask you this. Here's the thing. I mean, if you wanted to, uh, you know there's people that hold their kid back a year because they want their kid to do better in sports. Did you know that that's a thing?

   17. NANarrator1:01:21

       Mm-hmm.

   18. JRJoe Rogan1:01:22

       Um, because there's real evidence, and Malcolm Gladwell's O- Outliers talks about this with professional hockey players. With professional hockey players, all the- the elites, they all were born within a certain time of the year, and it's not because that's a magic time of the year, but it's because that's like the l- the oldest you can be and still be in, like, first grade, the oldest you can be and still be in second grade. Like, their- their birthday was just right after the line, and they're- they're considerably more developed than kids that were, like, they're, they barely made it in on the bottom half, like, they're barely old enough to get into first grade. And this guy's barely, he's, he really should be in second grade. Right? So, but if you can get to that spot, your kid will have this 12-month advantage in growth. And let me tell you something with my kids, you notice, like, they'll grow, I'll, I'll watch them, and, like, all of a sudden they've grown two inches. It's like, how long did it take you to grow two inches?

   19. NANarrator1:02:25

       (laughs)

   20. JRJoe Rogan1:02:25

       It's like six months. Like, what the fuck?

   21. NANarrator1:02:26

       (laughs)

   22. JRJoe Rogan1:02:26

       This is crazy. You grew s- two inches in six. It sounds, it sounds like nothing, 'cause it's normal, but it's wild when you see it happen.

   23. NANarrator1:02:34

       Yeah.

   24. JRJoe Rogan1:02:34

       But if you could get a kid that's already grown those two inches, and already gained, like, the X amount of pounds, and with boys it's a big one, 'cause they start maturing and developing and hormone kicks in, hormones kick in, that's a g- that kid's gonna have an advantage at sports. He's gonna be faster than those kids, he's gonna be maybe stronger than those kids. Maybe his hand-eye coordination will be better. It's, like, a lot of factors.

   25. NANarrator1:02:56

       I bet that happens a lot. I didn't even think about that.

   26. JRJoe Rogan1:02:58

       It happens a lot. It happens a lot. So if you're a person who is, like, competitively inclined and you had children, you want your kids-

   27. NANarrator1:03:05

       Oh, yeah.

   28. JRJoe Rogan1:03:05

       ... to compete in sports, like, there's a lot of those fucking people.

   29. NANarrator1:03:09

       I've seen-

   30. I bet there's even schools that, like, "Hey, he's good, but he could be a lot better if we held him back," you know?
6. 1:15:00 – 1:17:09

   I mean, but that's…

   1. NANarrator1:15:00

   2. JRJoe Rogan1:15:00

      I mean, but that's ... No, because those are homo sapiens, right? The, the, the thought is that the homo sapien, like us, we've been around for, I think, they think, it's a quarter million years. Right? Isn't that what they think? But there's dudes that have, like, ha- like, George "The Animal" Steele. Remember that pro wrestler?

   3. NANarrator1:15:20

      Mm-hmm.

   4. JRJoe Rogan1:15:21

      His entire body's covered in hair.

   5. NANarrator1:15:23

      Mm-hmm.

   6. JRJoe Rogan1:15:23

      Like everything. His whole back is like your beard.

   7. NANarrator1:15:26

      Right.

   8. JRJoe Rogan1:15:27

      Right?

   9. NANarrator1:15:27

      Well, you should see my back.

   10. JRJoe Rogan1:15:29

       Bah. (laughs)

   11. NANarrator1:15:31

       (laughs)

   12. (laughs)

   13. JRJoe Rogan1:15:33

       But, like, if you look at a guy like that, like George "The Animal" Steele, like, what d- ... Was that how all people looked 33,000 years ago?

   14. NANarrator1:15:41

       (laughs)

   15. JRJoe Rogan1:15:41

       Like, look at him. He's covered in hair. He was great.

   16. NANarrator1:15:45

       Yeah.

   17. JRJoe Rogan1:15:45

       What a character. Look at that fucking hair on him.

   18. NANarrator1:15:47

       That's it.

   19. JRJoe Rogan1:15:47

       Look at the hair on him. I mean, everything is covered in hair.

   20. NANarrator1:15:52

       It's crazy.

   21. JRJoe Rogan1:15:52

       And there was that one Russian wrestler, remember? There's this one, like, really elite Russian wrestler that's crazy hairy. I mean, he just looks like he's the ultimate male. So, like, was ... Is that what people looked like 33,000 years ago, you think?

   22. NANarrator1:16:07

       Pro- I think so.

   23. JRJoe Rogan1:16:08

       Probably.
