       Not anymore, dog.

   15. JRJoe Rogan0:29

       What's happened, my brother?

   16. STSam Tripoli0:29

       I don't do any of that stuff anymore.

   17. JRJoe Rogan0:31

       Oh, that stuff.

   18. STSam Tripoli0:32

       (laughs)

   19. JRJoe Rogan0:32

       How long, how long has it been since you did that stuff?

   20. STSam Tripoli0:34

       A year and eight months almost.

   21. JRJoe Rogan0:36

       Oh, so you go back, you go forth, a little bit?

   22. STSam Tripoli0:38

       No, no, no, dude. I, I'm, I'm clean as a whistle, dude.

   23. JRJoe Rogan0:41

       That's it. Done.

   24. STSam Tripoli0:42

       Nothing.

   25. JRJoe Rogan0:42

       How many times you quit in the past?

   26. STSam Tripoli0:45

       Well, I went five years with, uh, sober, and then I went 10 years just running and gunning.

   27. JRJoe Rogan0:51

       (laughs)

   28. STSam Tripoli0:51

       And now I'm back to, uh, a year and eight months, man.

   29. JRJoe Rogan0:54

       10 years of running and gunning?

   30. STSam Tripoli0:55

       Yeah.
2. 15:00 – 30:00

   Yeah. …

   1. JRJoe Rogan15:00

      So, actually-"

   2. STSam Tripoli15:01

      Yeah.

   3. JRJoe Rogan15:01

      "... now that we've got you off the fossil fuels, that's not enough."

   4. STSam Tripoli15:04

      Not, uh, not even cars.

   5. JRJoe Rogan15:06

      No.

   6. STSam Tripoli15:06

      You don't need a car.

   7. JRJoe Rogan15:06

      You need to, uh, "Recycling is not gonna be enough to sustain the amount of materials needed, so we need to increase sharing, reuse, and a preference for longevity to reduce demand." What does that even mean? S- interpret that.

   8. STSam Tripoli15:19

      Who's gonna own the Ubers? Who's g-

   9. JRJoe Rogan15:21

      Interpret, interpret that, please. "We need to increase sharing, reuse, and a preference for longevity to reduce demand." What does that mean? Why is that so ambiguous?

   10. STSam Tripoli15:32

       Well-

   11. JRJoe Rogan15:32

       I get reduce and sharing, I get reusing, but a preference for longevity to reduce the man, d- reduce demand? What does that mean? Do you know what that means?

   12. NANarrator15:41

       Don't buy new cars a lot? Buy them quite often?

   13. JRJoe Rogan15:43

       Pr- pre- preference for longevity, so preferring older cars? Is that what it's saying?

   14. NANarrator15:47

       To prefer to own it longer over a long period of time?

   15. JRJoe Rogan15:49

       Like, like Cuba? Like Communist Cuba? (laughs)

   16. STSam Tripoli15:52

       Yeah.

   17. JRJoe Rogan15:53

       They have, they have the dopest old cars.

   18. STSam Tripoli15:54

       You can't own anything, that's basically what they're saying.

   19. JRJoe Rogan15:56

       No, they have-

   20. STSam Tripoli15:56

       Buy our shit, use our shit.

   21. JRJoe Rogan15:57

       They have cars, they have cars in Cuba. They have dope old cars.

   22. STSam Tripoli16:01

       Which I love old cars.

   23. JRJoe Rogan16:02

       Oh, my God. Have you ever seen, like, those photographs of... Because th- what they've done is they've maintained them and taken care of them and, like, re-, you know, like refixed them and refinished them.

   24. STSam Tripoli16:12

       Yeah.

   25. JRJoe Rogan16:12

       And they're, they're fucking amazing.

   26. NANarrator16:13

       Yeah, they are nice.

   27. JRJoe Rogan16:14

       They have, like, 1950s dope ass cars. See if you can find... Like, I know there's articles that been written on the cars of Cuba. It's-

   28. STSam Tripoli16:21

       Poverty makes you find ways to thrive, right? You have to figure out a way to play the game and win the game with limited resources. And that would be taking a, a, a, an old car and learning how to make it look amazing. That is kind of the game, right?

   29. JRJoe Rogan16:36

       Yeah, for sure. That, I mean, that's always been, like, a prideful thing for people. If you, you can afford a car and you, you know, fix it up. Like, look at that, "Cars in Cuba" photo gallery, with the green car's in the center. The top li- top, uh, yeah, right there.

   30. STSam Tripoli16:50

       Look at that.
3. 30:00 – 45:00

   100, they all did,…

   1. JRJoe Rogan30:00

      is how advanced the engineering of the Germans was. You know, it's really interesting. When you think about car manufacturers like Audi and Volkswagen and Mercedes, it's all out of... BMW. BMW, didn't BMW make engines for Nazi fighter pilots?I think that's what they first started off doing.

   2. STSam Tripoli30:23

      100, they all did, bro. I mean-

   3. JRJoe Rogan30:24

      But I think that's what BMW did, right?

   4. STSam Tripoli30:26

      Yeah, 100%. And then we were t-

   5. JRJoe Rogan30:29

      And Audi made Hitler a car.

   6. STSam Tripoli30:30

      (laughs) Yeah.

   7. JRJoe Rogan30:31

      Hitler had a race car, an Audi race car.

   8. STSam Tripoli30:32

      That was never part of their marketing plan though.

   9. JRJoe Rogan30:35

      Yeah, it was-

   10. STSam Tripoli30:35

       That would have been a crazy campaign.

   11. JRJoe Rogan30:36

       What does it say there?

   12. NANarrator30:37

       It's a 1939 BMW 801D piston radio-

   13. JRJoe Rogan30:42

       Piston radial aircraft engine. And national origin is Germany. So-

   14. NANarrator30:49

       World War II planes.

   15. JRJoe Rogan30:50

       ... in, in that year, they made World War II planes. They made engines for World War II planes, so that's just wild, man.

   16. STSam Tripoli30:56

       (coughs) I mean, IBM was making stuff to, for these camps too, dude. It's crazy.

   17. JRJoe Rogan31:02

       IBM?

   18. STSam Tripoli31:02

       Yeah. Like-

   19. JRJoe Rogan31:03

       They had computers?

   20. NANarrator31:04

       We've talked about that before.

   21. STSam Tripoli31:05

       Yeah.

   22. JRJoe Rogan31:05

       Right, what was that?

   23. NANarrator31:06

       There's a book.

   24. STSam Tripoli31:08

       (laughs)

   25. NANarrator31:09

       I, uh...

   26. STSam Tripoli31:09

       What did they do?

   27. NANarrator31:10

       They were mak- it was the precursor to actual computers. It was like a, uh, filing system to keep track of stuff.

   28. STSam Tripoli31:16

       Yeah, of who was where and what into these camps.

   29. JRJoe Rogan31:18

       Oh, that's right. I'm remembering this.

   30. STSam Tripoli31:20

       And th- and then y- oh yeah, man. It gets super weird.
4. 45:00 – 1:00:00

   I think McDonald's just…

   1. STSam Tripoli45:00

      or n- something meat? And didn't it have like a-

   2. JRJoe Rogan45:02

      I think McDonald's just bailed on their Beyond Burger thing.

   3. STSam Tripoli45:05

      Yeah, that's it, Beyond Meat, right? And then, it had, like-

   4. JRJoe Rogan45:07

      Yeah.

   5. STSam Tripoli45:07

      ... insane amount of, uh-

   6. JRJoe Rogan45:10

      Seed oils.

   7. STSam Tripoli45:11

      No ... Yeah, like, uh-

   8. JRJoe Rogan45:12

      It's not good for you.

   9. STSam Tripoli45:13

      Yeah, not good for you.

   10. JRJoe Rogan45:14

       You want to eat vegetarian-

   11. STSam Tripoli45:15

       Soir.

   12. JRJoe Rogan45:15

       ... there's plenty of really healthy things you can eat. If you want to eat vegetarian, you should eat real vegetarian food, not some fake fucking meat thing. If you wanna be a vegetarian, eat Indian food. It's delicious. There was a place, uh ... I mean, there's a lot of delicious vegetarian food, but there's a place near my house in, uh, back in LA, and it was this, uh, total Indian joint. Like, everybody spoke Hindi. Is that what it is?

   13. STSam Tripoli45:37

       Yeah.

   14. JRJoe Rogan45:38

       Hindi?

   15. STSam Tripoli45:38

       I'm cool with that.

   16. JRJoe Rogan45:39

       Is that how you say it? Um, they spoke, um, i- in their native language, and everything was in, you know, their native language, and it was all vegetarian. It was this crazy authentic place.

   17. STSam Tripoli45:51

       I love that restaurants do that too, like, you go into a certain ethnic restaurant.

   18. JRJoe Rogan45:55

       Yeah.

   19. STSam Tripoli45:55

       You wanna see those people working there.

   20. JRJoe Rogan45:57

       Yeah.

   21. STSam Tripoli45:57

       If it's a bunch of hipsters, you're like, "Oh, this is gonna suck," right? But-

   22. JRJoe Rogan46:00

       Right.

   23. STSam Tripoli46:00

       ... you go in there and it's authentic, bro, you're good to go.

   24. JRJoe Rogan46:03

       It was literally like you were transported to a small, y- you know, small shop in India. That's what it's like. And the food's legit. So, my ... That's my point. It's like, eat real food. Don't be eating that nonsense.

   25. STSam Tripoli46:16

       Well, you know, I mean, like-

   26. JRJoe Rogan46:17

       Unless you like it. I don't give a fuck.

   27. STSam Tripoli46:18

       Yeah, man. I mean, like, I, I've lost some weight. I'm not gonna lie. I'm happy fat, but I'm also happy in shape too, so it's like-

   28. JRJoe Rogan46:25

       How'd you lose weight?

   29. STSam Tripoli46:26

       I did intermediate fasting.

   30. JRJoe Rogan46:28

       Intermediate? (laughs)
5. 1:00:00 – 1:11:55

   Yeah, they- …

   1. NANarrator1:00:00

      they're like, "Witch!"

   2. JRJoe Rogan1:00:01

      Yeah, they-

   3. NANarrator1:00:01

      "Witch!"

   4. JRJoe Rogan1:00:01

      ... you imagine, you really would think you were bewitched. Like, "Why am I thinking like this? Why do I feel this way? Oh my God, I'm under a spell." And if you believed in spells, and fucking the 1600s, they believed in spells.

   5. NANarrator1:00:11

      100%.

   6. JRJoe Rogan1:00:12

      100%. You know?

   7. NANarrator1:00:14

      That's crazy.

   8. JRJoe Rogan1:00:15

      Oh, nuts.

   9. NANarrator1:00:16

      I did shrooms at the K-Rock Acoustic Christmas about like-

   10. JRJoe Rogan1:00:19

       Basically the same thing.

   11. NANarrator1:00:20

       Yeah.

   12. JRJoe Rogan1:00:21

       (laughs)

   13. NANarrator1:00:21

       And I, I heard a voice, and it's the last time I ever worried about my life.

   14. JRJoe Rogan1:00:24

       Really?

   15. NANarrator1:00:25

       It said, "You're exactly where you need to be." I heard it loud.

   16. JRJoe Rogan1:00:28

       Wow.

   17. NANarrator1:00:29

       And I never worried, and then I just went and watched Prophets of Rage just annihilate, bro, annihilate.

   18. JRJoe Rogan1:00:35

       (laughs)

   19. NANarrator1:00:35

       And it was like ... And I ... And my life has always been kinda on this nice, nice path since then. But yeah, shrooms were a big part of my, my recovery, and just like all the stuff, having the kids, and then this, this, this COVID thing forced me to like reevaluate a lot of shit. And I'm on a kind of a spiritual path right now, which is like I really love it. I really ... It's a much better way of looking at the world.

   20. JRJoe Rogan1:01:00

       So you've made-... it sounds like you made, like, big leaps, like big changes in the way you think about things.

   21. STSam Tripoli1:01:07

       Yeah, man. Yeah.

   22. JRJoe Rogan1:01:08

       Just huge ones.

   23. STSam Tripoli1:01:09

       There's this video going around about me and Ari Shaffir yelling at each other on my, my past Punch Drunk videos, you know-

   24. JRJoe Rogan1:01:16

       Mm-hmm.

   25. STSam Tripoli1:01:16

       ... of us doing it. And I, I watch and it's super cringy, right? I watch, I go ... But now I understand a lot of stuff, like how my energy was back in the day-

   26. JRJoe Rogan1:01:24

       Mm-hmm.

   27. STSam Tripoli1:01:25

       ... and how people received it, and I get it. I get it.

   28. JRJoe Rogan1:01:27

       Was this the running and gunning days?

   29. STSam Tripoli1:01:29

       This was, uh, this was running and gunning one.

   30. JRJoe Rogan1:01:32

       (laughs)
