Caffeine chaos, health talk, and Redban’s gum/dentist saga
- THTony Hinchcliffe
(drum roll) Joe Rogan podcast, check it out.
- BRBrian Redban
The Joe Rogan Experience. (drum roll)
- JRJoe Rogan
Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day. (rock music) Brian, you got every kind of caffeinated beverage known to man in front of you. What do you got? I got a smoothie and Black Rifle. Two Black Rifles, and then you got a cooler. Oh, this is Liquid IV. Oh, look at you. (laughs) Trying to stay hydrated. I got all... I got Factor, I got Liquid I... I got all the sponsors. You've remained remarkably healthy. (laughs) Out of all the people I was worried about during COVID, it was you. I was worried about you and Tim Dillon. You were my number one and number two, but you fucking coasted through it like it was nothing. (laughs) Yeah. It's weird. (laughs) I, I... My doctor said I have this thing where my, my meta- my, my metabolism is too strong, uh, and it's, like, fucking my gums up right now. Like- Your metabolism is fucking your gums up? Yeah. What kind of doctor you going to? A chiropractor?
- THTony Hinchcliffe
(laughs)
You going to a witch doctor?
- JRJoe Rogan
No. I, I, I've actually been to, like, all the... Two dent- dentists now, because I'm dealing with it right now. My met- uh, it's fucking... My gums are, like gum disease type shit. Receding gums?
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Yeah.
- 1:02 – 3:47
Nitrous, whip-its, and why some drugs are “not worth it”
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. And so I have to get a deep clean, but, um, they're... They let me use nitrous for the first time at a doctor.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Ooh.
- JRJoe Rogan
I've never done that. Have you done nitrous at a doctor?
- THTony Hinchcliffe
It's fun.
- JRJoe Rogan
Really?
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
How silly did you get? You haven't done it yet? I haven't done it yet. (laughs)
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Have you done it?
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Yeah, and I ended up, like, being mean to the dentist.
- JRJoe Rogan
No.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Like, I was, like, making jokes that weren't funny. Like, nobody was laughing.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, no.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
That's what I'm scared of, 'cause, you know, in college, you do it, and you fall out a window, you start, like- (laughs) ... fishing around and shit. How are you gonna do that at a dentist's when they're trying to be precise with your teeth? That's a good point, right? Like, you gotta take a wild chance that the person isn't out of their fucking mind if you're gonna dose them up with nitrous. I don't know what it feels like. Is that the same thing with whip-its? Oh, we can find out real quick. It is. It's medical grade. We have them here.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, Ari did whip-its on the show. We were like, "What are you doing?" I was like, "Is this even legal?" No.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
He has... He bought them somewhere. Like, you can buy whip-its? You could buy it for, for the, those machines for the whipped cream.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Whip-its for whipped cream.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Yeah, it's just whipped cream.
- JRJoe Rogan
That's what they call it? Yeah.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
That's why it's called a whip-it.
- JRJoe Rogan
They call them whip-its? Yeah. But I thought for whipped cream, you get, like, a large one. Well, that was just when I worked in a restaurant. Well, the container's large, but then you unscrew the top, and it's just a little- Right. ... nitrous, uh, thing. Dude, I worked at a Newport Creamery in Massachusetts, and everybody did whip-its. I'm pretty sure I did it once. I must've done it once. I was, like, 15. 15, 16, I think I worked there. And people would just go back there and get blasted off of whip-its. Damn. How- Yeah, the dishwasher too.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
How did Ari react to it?
- JRJoe Rogan
He just started laughing. Like, couldn't stop laughing and threw his head back, and he's like, "Whoa, whoa, whoa." That's what he said it was like. He's like, "Whoa, whoa, whoa." Norman hated it. Norman did it, he's like, "Fuck this. This is terrible. I feel awful. I feel like I died. I don't like it at all."
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
He was (laughs) ... He was not into... Seeing, seeing Norman, I was like, "I'm not doing it." If he, he's, he's reacting like that.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Not my thing.
- 3:47 – 5:46
Stimulants, childhood meds, and how substances shape developing minds
- JRJoe Rogan
Like, people who do speed, they wind up fucking organizing the garage and putting, putting shelves up and stuff, cleaning everything. I need that. Yeah, that's an Adderall thing apparently. People do Adderall, and they start cleaning shit and organizing.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Not my thing.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. Have you fucked with Adderall? Adderall at all?
- THTony Hinchcliffe
A couple times.
- JRJoe Rogan
What about you?
- THTony Hinchcliffe
No. They had me on Ritalin when I, when I was a kid.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, that's... That figures everything out and solves-
- THTony Hinchcliffe
All the time.
- JRJoe Rogan
That's it?
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Every day.
- JRJoe Rogan
Ritalin's a upper, right? Or down, I mean.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
I think it's an upper.
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, it's an upper, but supposedly, back then, they said that if you had ADD, it brings you down. Like, it's supposed to mellow you out, but I hated it. You know who talked about that is Henry Rollins talked about it when he was a kid. They, they put him on that. He was, like, five years old, they had him on it. He was just all the time, like, "Fucking yeah." Yeah. And the way he describes it is like, "Oh, when you see Henry, like, he's so intense. Like, everything about him is intense, his... Even the things he enjoys, like when he talks about, like, listening to records, he's so intense." It's like they just cranked his fucking brain up to ten, like, "Bah," when he was a little kid, which is wild, 'cause you can kind of... (sighs) I mean, it's not a thing to do. I'm not saying you should do it. But, um, what I'm saying is, you can manipulate a child's mind with those things in a way. Like, you're... You have to be... You're changing their reality, right? You're changing the way they experience things. That's gotta change their view of life overall in general. Like, if your view of life over, like... You know how stoners are. Some stoners, they're... It's abusive. They're abusive. They're so s- high all the time that they're just, like, not making sense. They, like, never make any sense. Like, if you're doing that all the time when you're, like, 14, 15, 16, which, which some kids do, that shit's terrible for you. It doesn't prepare you for life at all. Like, du- being a fucking full-timer when you're, like, 14, like, whoa. Like, dude, regular reality is hard enough. You're trying to figure out what the
- 5:46 – 7:41
Fear of adulthood, chaotic childhoods, and finding stand-up as an escape hatch
- JRJoe Rogan
fuck is life? What are... What is a grown-up? You know, what is a job? Like, when does this start? When does this "I need to get a job" thing start? Do you remember that feeling? Like, the high school feeling? Like, when do I need to be able to take care of myself? Terrifying.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
Terrifying feeling, and nobody prepares you for it. Nobody prepares you for this idea that you're gonna have to take care of yourself. You're like, "What? What?"... I have to pay my own bills. I have to get a job. What do I do? I don't know what to do. And everybody's like, "You gotta go to college." Like, "I guess I gotta go to college. I don't wanna be a fucking loser. I gotta go to college." Remember th- those days? Like, I remember days, like, when I would work, like, three different kinda jobs. I'd, like, deliver newspapers, drive limos. And I would do, you know, occasionally I'd do construction if, like, uh, uh, something came up and I could get away with doing it during the day.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
But I was always tired. I hated those jobs.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
But I was like, "Fuck, what do I do?"
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Like, I was trying to figure out what to do. And if stand-up ... If I didn't find stand-up, oh my God, I would've so fucked.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
I would've been so fucked. (laughs)
- THTony Hinchcliffe
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
I would've been so fucked 'cause my, my brain was not wired for jobs.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Uh-uh.
- JRJoe Rogan
You know?
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Some people can do it. Some people are awesome at it. Some people, they lock into a career and they're very happy, you know? But, uh, whate- for whatever it was, like with my childhood, man, my childhood was just too chaotic. I did not have any desire to be, like, in any sort of order, where I'm, like, locked in. Like, I was a latchkey kid. Like, my parents just kinda let me outta the house, "Go have fun." And y- ... Like, kids like that have zero desire for order. Like, you're out there wildin' with these other fucking (laughs) 10-year-olds out in the street-
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
... lighting buildings on fire accidentally and finding fireworks and ... We did wild shit when we were kids.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Totally.
- JRJoe Rogan
That does not prepare you for an office job. That prepares you for just sitting in class going, "Fuck, I gotta get outta here."
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Mm-hmm.
- 7:41 – 12:09
Was school designed to create factory workers? TikTok ‘facts’ vs. reality
- JRJoe Rogan
Dude, my kid told me on TikTok she found this thing that was explaining how our educational system was developed. And I was like, "What?" I go, "You got this on TikTok?" I go, "What, what did you find out?" And she was like, "It was developed to turn people who are, like, these rural people into factory workers." Like, they were, they were literally, like, gearing education, when they started public education, to, like, prepare these, like, wild folk (laughs) and put them in factories. If you think about the, the kind of people that were alive, that were living in, like, rural Columbus, Ohio ... Like, outside of Columbus, in ... Where you guys are from.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
In, like, the 1900s.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
What were those people like? The farm people, like, the people that were basically just like the pioneers. They just stopped and they developed a small town. And in, like, 1903, if you're in that fucking town (laughs) and they want to take one of those people and, and turn them into an office worker?
- THTony Hinchcliffe
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Like, good luck.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
The Youngstown was the number one steel producing city in the world through the th- like, 30s-
- JRJoe Rogan
Whew.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
... 40s, 50s. And then one Monday, it all closed. So, like, everything that even it was built around was fucked completely. Like-
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh my God.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
... everything that ... Their work ethic, everything was just always go to high school and then you work in the steel mill. Your dad worked in the steel mill, his dad ...
- JRJoe Rogan
How old were you when this was going down?
- THTony Hinchcliffe
It was before I was born.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
But the dilapidation that it left-
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
... left this ... Well, y- you can't ... They, there was no, like, "You can go chase your dreams. You can move to LA or New York." Like, that's all stuff you had to, like, find out on your own.
- JRJoe Rogan
(exhales)
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Nobody, no teacher was like, "You could do anything." It was, it was ...
- JRJoe Rogan
Bleak.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Isn't that horrible? It's such a bad vibe. It's such a bad vibe to, for a child to grow up in that kind of a, a shattered dream vibe, like a Detroit, Michigan after the factories got pulled out of there.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
Like, that Flint, Michigan documentary that Michael Moore did, Roger & Me, is amazing. It's amazing. That ... It ... To me, that's his best work, because that was a young Roger who was trying to, like, figure out, like, what the fuck was going on to this place where he was from. And so, it was so real. And he was so young in it. It was, it was really ... Like, what year was Roger & Me?
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Tsk. Uh, '89? '92? '93.
- JRJoe Rogan
Pull it up, Jamie.
- BRBrian Redban
'89.
- JRJoe Rogan
It's '89.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Oh.
- 12:09 – 14:06
TikTok manhunts, road-rage ‘Tesla terrorist,’ and internet vigilantism
- THTony Hinchcliffe
TikTok's fun but, man, half the shit... You ever watch that guy where it's this guy with a beard and he's a little bit bigger and he goes, "This guy. Check this video out. We need to find this person." Y- like, he's pretty famous.
- JRJoe Rogan
No, I haven't seen him.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
But he, like, shows, like, uh, Karens or racist people, like, a clip.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, okay.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
And they hunt them down faster than any police. Like, there was a guy in LA, uh, the Tesla, uh, guy, who was running out, uh, hitting people with ... their cars with baseball bats.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, Jesus.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
And they called him the Tes- uh, Tesla terrorist. And they captured that guy faster than the police, just from TikTok.
- JRJoe Rogan
That's amazing.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
What, what was this guy's motivation for attacking people with Teslas?
- THTony Hinchcliffe
He's, he's attacked, like, I think it was, like, 10 people over the last three years. It ... Like, women, everyone, any. There's videos of him running out of the Tesla going, "Ah!" Like, out of control.
- JRJoe Rogan
So, he's in a Tesla?
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Yeah, he-
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
And-
- JRJoe Rogan
So, he's in a Tesla and then he's attacking people?
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Yes. Uh-
- JRJoe Rogan
It's not like he's attacking people only in Teslas? I got it screwed up.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
No, no, no, no. He was in a Te-
- JRJoe Rogan
He's in a-
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Yeah, he's in a Te-... They call him the Tesla terrorist.
- JRJoe Rogan
So, he just pulls over and starts beating up people?
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Beating on people.
- JRJoe Rogan
Random people?
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Random people. He's all amped up.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, Jesus Christ.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
He's ... Like, you can tell the guy's just juiced.
- JRJoe Rogan
He's on Adderall, bro.
- BRBrian Redban
Well, it said ... He was still on ... The article said he was selling steroids.
- JRJoe Rogan
No, he's still on steroids.
- 14:06 – 16:24
Cart Narcs, Windy City Heat, and why that style of comedy can’t exist today
- THTony Hinchcliffe
You ever see cart narcs?
- JRJoe Rogan
What's that?
- BRBrian Redban
(laughs)
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Where the people don't put their cart back at the grocery store?
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, that's hilarious. That's hilarious.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
I, I found one the other day that they literally did it to Perry from Windy City Heat.
- JRJoe Rogan
Let's get Perry again. Oh, that's hilarious.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Have you ever seen that?
- JRJoe Rogan
No, but it's ... Makes sense.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
It's unbelievable-
- JRJoe Rogan
That makes sense.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
... that Perry literally didn't put his cart away.
- JRJoe Rogan
And that he's driving with a mask on, too.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
And he gets so mad. So, it literally brings Perry and the guy doesn't even know it's Perry. So, Perry's being Perry, "What are you doing?" Like, it's (laughs) ...
- BRBrian Redban
Would you like a magnet instead?
- THTony Hinchcliffe
(laughs)
- BRBrian Redban
Now, sir, take-
Get your fucking shit off my fucking car.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
(laughs)
- BRBrian Redban
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, my God.
- BRBrian Redban
He goes on and on like this for a long time. It's so funny.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Oh, my God.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, my God.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
He's wearing a Perry Caravello live shirt.
- JRJoe Rogan
But very few people know what that is.
- BRBrian Redban
Who's Perry Caravello alive?
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Right.
- BRBrian Redban
Look, sir.
Shut up.
- 16:24 – 24:02
Seinfeld at The Comedy Store, Mitzi Shore’s harsh gatekeeping, and open-mic education
- THTony Hinchcliffe
I had to follow Seinfeld at The Comedy Store. Toughest follow I ever had in my entire life.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, I'm sure, dude.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
'Cause all he did was talk about how Mitzi, the owner-
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, that's right.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
... told him he wasn't funny the last time he was there and he's just-
- JRJoe Rogan
That's right. You were there for that set.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Crushing. He buried me with a shovel. Nothing like it ever.
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- THTony Hinchcliffe
'Cause he's telling them the whole story. So, even if the people didn't know how big of a deal it was that Seinfeld was in the OR of The Comedy Store, he told them. "This lady told me I wasn't funny. Wonder how she's doing now?" All this stuff. Like, and she's like, everyone knows she's sick and old and ... I bought a house above her house so that I ... she could see me driving a different car all the time. I'd beep as I went by.
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Still not funny. I mean, he's destroying, destroying. It was like, evil, cool, fucking Seinfeld.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, that's hilarious. Evil, cool Seinfeld.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
I was buried with a shovel and everybody ... 70% of the people left the room. The other 30% were literally texting their family, "I just saw Seinfeld make his return to The Comedy Store that he hasn't been here in 35 years. He just told the whole story. I'm performing." I remember a fruit fly ... The only laugh I got that set was from a door guy or whatever because a fruit fly went in front of me real slow in the lights-
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- THTony Hinchcliffe
... and it was all lit up. I go, "Even the fruit fly is getting outta here."
- JRJoe Rogan
Bro, that is the craziness of Mitzi Shore.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
How could she s- say no to Jerry Seinfeld? Like, uh, uh, eh, uh, even when he went there, he was already like a-
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Yep.
- JRJoe Rogan
... solid comic.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Yep, and that's the thing that they say, is that when you used to tell Mitzi like, "Oh, this guy's a big deal from New York," that she-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
... that she'd be like, "Well, I'll see for myself."
- JRJoe Rogan
Dude, the guy who used to book the store told me, "It's kinda better if you start off at the store." Like, Mitzi knows you're already a headliner, so she's gonna make you a paid, uh, non-paid regular. So, I became a non-paid regular. I couldn't just become a paid regular. I had to do time as a non-paid, which you go on, like, super late at night. She didn't give a fuck about your credits.... your credits almost hurt you.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
Like, if you came with, with credits, they're like, "Oh, he already thinks he knows everything." (laughs)
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Right. And that's the vibe. And it makes you wonder, like, is part of her brilliant, was part of her brilliant madness knowing that the way to bring out the most in Seinfeld was to do that perhaps?
- JRJoe Rogan
No. (laughs)
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Just to tell him he wasn't funny. (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
- 24:02 – 27:04
Ari’s special, ‘full-blown AIDS’ riffing, and miracle-era HIV science
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, think about the show we did at The Vulcan. Think about the show. We got Hans Kim, and then you got David Lucas, and then you got Mark Normand, and then you got Ari Shaffir, then you got Shane Gillis, then you got you, then you got me.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
These are, these are crazy shows, man. Crazy shows. They were so fucking fun.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
It's been ridiculous.
- JRJoe Rogan
Goddamn it, it's a murder fest too. From, from start to go. And you know what makes me the happiest is watching the big pop that Ari gets.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
... when Ari goes on stage, he gets a giant pop. People go nuts. That special fucking pulled him out of the fire.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
It was a beautiful special, man.
- JRJoe Rogan
It's a perfect special.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Just how it's filmed, it's perfect.
- JRJoe Rogan
It's perfect. The fact that he did it in front of candles and shit-
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
... and he had to relight all the candles.
- BRBrian Redban
And for him to do that with full-blown AIDS is just incredible.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Ah.
- BRBrian Redban
Yeah. It's unbelievable.
- JRJoe Rogan
Full-blown. Imagine if that was, like, a real diagnosis. (laughs)
- THTony Hinchcliffe
(laughs)
- BRBrian Redban
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
You know, like full-blown is such a street term-
- BRBrian Redban
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
... for someone really being fucked up by AIDS. But if, like, uh, "Well, Tony, you've got full-blown AIDS." (laughs)
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Damn.
- JRJoe Rogan
Like, if your doctor said that to you, like, what a disrespectful doctor-
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
... to use the term full-blown AIDS. "Bro, you got full-blown AIDS."
- BRBrian Redban
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
That's... I'd be like, "What the kind of doctor did I get?"
- BRBrian Redban
If he threw a bro at the front like that, that's even worse.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. (laughs)
- 27:04 – 29:45
Gas-station ‘Rhino’ boner pills: mystery ingredients, roid rage, and Jon Jones rumors
- JRJoe Rogan
Boner pills. There's a lot of different things came out. Re- remember the fucking gas station pills, Fred Bear?
- THTony Hinchcliffe
I was buor-
- BRBrian Redban
(laughs)
- THTony Hinchcliffe
I got burnout. I think it did damage.
- JRJoe Rogan
Fred Bear (laughs) -
- THTony Hinchcliffe
(laughs)
- BRBrian Redban
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Fred Bear was taking these fucking w- who knows what bathtub they were mixed up in.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
He would take these boner pills that he would buy at the gas station, and apparently they're insane. And I think they had steroids in them because, like, at one p- one time you got a little bit of road rage.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Or roid rage (laughs) .
- THTony Hinchcliffe
And, and, and sometimes, uh, like, I felt like I was, like, about to pass out, like, I was tripping, like, seeing-
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- THTony Hinchcliffe
... trails and stuff. Like, what's that? I think it was, like-
- JRJoe Rogan
Fentanyl.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
... blood pressure problem.
- JRJoe Rogan
Bro, it could be everything.
- BRBrian Redban
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Everything and anything. They just mixed them up and called it Rhino.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
Right?
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Remember the names?
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Yep, yep.
- BRBrian Redban
Black Rhino.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
It had a hologram of a rhinoceros.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yes.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
And I had... Like, I collected the containers that that came in-
- BRBrian Redban
Oh.
- 29:45 – 48:52
White House luggage thief story and Rogan’s rant on identity politics vs competence
- JRJoe Rogan
I need some boner pills. I need to get going. Have you guys... Have you guys seen the story of this person who worked for the White House? They were in charge of, like, some- something in the nuclear program. It's, uh, a trans woman who's bald.
- BRBrian Redban
Oh, yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Has a beard and a mustache.
- BRBrian Redban
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
And is apparently a kleptomaniac.
- BRBrian Redban
Yep.
- JRJoe Rogan
It is the wildest story.
- BRBrian Redban
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
They caught her stealing a bag. I should say... Is it he? Like, he has a mustache. Um, stealing a... Isn't his name Sam?
- BRBrian Redban
I think it's-
- JRJoe Rogan
I don't wanna misgender. I'm not sure if it's, like, non-binary. Whatever. It's-
- BRBrian Redban
But whatever it is, it's a thief.
- JRJoe Rogan
Try to be nice. It's a fucking thief (laughs) . It's a fucking terrible thief. And then there was a woman who, uh, recently, uh, f- saw photos of this Sam person. And, uh, she is, like... I think she's a designer, and she had very specific, one-of-a-kind clothing-... that had gotten stolen.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Oh, shit.
- BRBrian Redban
Jesus. What the hell?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, it's w- it's playing with rules.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
There's not enough-
- JRJoe Rogan
That's what that person is doing.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
There-
- JRJoe Rogan
That person with the beard and the shaved head, and, uh, g- lipstick, and every- they're, they're playing with the rules.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
I'll tell you, there's not enough boner pills in the world. (laughs)
- BRBrian Redban
(laughs) Oh, man.
- JRJoe Rogan
So this person, Sam, uh, has been stealing women's luggage. Like, not just one, but they've, they've caught multiple times this person, Sam, on video, stealing luggage. And this woman, who said, uh, from 2018... See if you can find that story. The story of this woman who was a designer, from 2018.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Yeah. There it is.
- JRJoe Rogan
So, she had these very specific pieces that were missing, and then she sees this person wearing her shit. This person who works for the fucking White House.
- BRBrian Redban
What's he do at the White House?
- JRJoe Rogan
And she's like, "No way." Well, she's, he, they are fired.
- BRBrian Redban
Oh.
- JRJoe Rogan
They are fired from the White House.
- BRBrian Redban
What did they do?

East Palestine derailment fears: toxic air, misinformation cycles, and blame narratives
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Did you see the guy in East Palestine that talks like Mickey Mouse now?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, I did.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
What?
- JRJoe Rogan
I was just swallowing a TruBrain.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
What's that?
- JRJoe Rogan
It's a nootropic. You wanna try it?
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Dude was on my podcast once, a doctor, and he came up with this stuff.
- BRBrian Redban
... is it orange flavored?
- JRJoe Rogan
He was a doctor. Was he a doctor? I don't want to give anybody extra titles.
- BRBrian Redban
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
You wanna try one? Wanna get smarter?
- BRBrian Redban
No.
No, no, no. I don't want to.
- JRJoe Rogan
Stay where you're at?
- BRBrian Redban
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs) Doesn't make you smarter. Helps your memory a little bit. (clears throat)
- BRBrian Redban
Oh.
- JRJoe Rogan
It's good for verbal memory. Sometimes the Mary Jane fucks with the mind.
- BRBrian Redban
Ooh, that's delicious.
- JRJoe Rogan
It's good, right? It's a nice little liquid, little shot. (smacks lips) I like it.
- BRBrian Redban
It's like a snow cone.
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- BRBrian Redban
With the voice thing, wouldn't there be multiple videos of mult- multiple people with that?
- JRJoe Rogan
It could be his own reaction to it. He got a very high dose. It could be, uh, there's more people, they're not talking about it.
- BRBrian Redban
S- says there's more people.
- JRJoe Rogan
More people?
- BRBrian Redban
That's, that's what this article says. They're going to go check door-to-door. Hmm.
Ooh, they're sending the CDC in. That sounds good.
- JRJoe Rogan
Bro, this is very scary stuff.
- 1:02:48 – 1:08:02
From super gonorrhea to syphilis horror history—and Al Capone’s fate
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. Back in the day, dude, they used to die from syphilis. Like, people rotted out from syphilis. And they got syphilis from fucking, and everybody knew they got it from fucking. And people still fucked.
- BRBrian Redban
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
They still fucked.
- BRBrian Redban
There's that new gonorrhea, full blown gonorrhea, that's killing people they can't cure.
- JRJoe Rogan
What?
- BRBrian Redban
Super... Have you heard about super gonorrhea?
- JRJoe Rogan
No. What is this-
- BRBrian Redban
Super gonorrhea is like a new thing.
- JRJoe Rogan
No.

And they c- have no cure for it. You just...
- JRJoe Rogan
What?
- BRBrian Redban
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Really?
- BRBrian Redban
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Have you heard of this?
- BRBrian Redban
No.
- JRJoe Rogan
Uh, Jamie?
- BRBrian Redban
I'm looking.
- JRJoe Rogan
Please google super gonorrhea.
- BRBrian Redban
Hi, I'm so happy to hear you haven't heard this yet.
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- BRBrian Redban
I haven't heard this yet. Yes.
- JRJoe Rogan
No, I haven't heard of it.
- BRBrian Redban
It's so fucked up, because-
That's scary, dude.
It's mutated gonorrhea.
That's scary.
- JRJoe Rogan
Ima- imagine you're just a young person trying to have a good time, have a little intercourse. What is super gonorrhea?
- BRBrian Redban
Uh...
- JRJoe Rogan
Here, right here. January 2023. "Super gonorrhea has reached the US." Holy shit.
- 1:08:02 – 1:33:31
Geraldo, the Zapruder film, JFK skepticism, and MKUltra-era intelligence scandals
- THTony Hinchcliffe
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
That was purely the roughest. But the greatest moment he ever had was on the Geraldo Rivera Show, whatever the fuck the show was called, when he introduced the world to the Kennedy assassination video.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
Dick Gregory came... Who was a comic. Dick Gregory came onto the Geraldo Rivera Show with the footage that he had obtained of the Kennedy assassination from the Zapruder film. So the Zapruder film was acquired, I believe, by Time-Life. I think they were acquired by Life Magazine. And they didn't do anything with it for a long time, and then he got it, and I f- I want to say they aired it on TV. It was at least 10 years, if not 12 years, after the murder. So it was like '75, I think. And so, on the show, he introduces this. There's Geraldo Rivera looking sexy as fuck.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Whoa.
- BRBrian Redban
Hey, hey.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Was it 10 years?
- JRJoe Rogan
1975.
- BRBrian Redban
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
So there it goes. So it's 12 years. That was g- Good Night America, what it, what is was called. That was Geraldo Rivera Show. And so, Geraldo, with his beautiful, uh, mane, is the host. And D- Dick Gregory comes on, and Dick Gregory brings on this other cat. I don't know who the other guy is.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Bad guy from James Bond.
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- BRBrian Redban
(laughs)
- THTony Hinchcliffe
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
That's exactly what he looks like.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Yeah, that's him.
- BRBrian Redban
That's the guy with the mouth and the munched mouth.
- JRJoe Rogan
That's the guy with the button.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Jaws.
- BRBrian Redban
Jaws. Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
What's his name? Okay. So, um, so when they watch it, you could see Geraldo Rivera react to it. Well, l- let's play it, because the th- this was the thing. The thing was, a lot of people at that time, they're coming off of the Vietnam War. There's, there's a lot of people that have a massive distrust of the government, and there's a lot of people that thought that Kennedy was assassined, uh, assassinated by more than one person. There was all these rumors of people shooting from the grassy knoll, and there was all these conspiracy theories. But until you watched the actual video of the assassination, there was no confirmation that something was amiss. And you watch the video, and his head goes back into the left when he gets shot, and you're like, "What am I looking at here?"
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
Like, "What's going on here?"
- THTony Hinchcliffe
It-
- JRJoe Rogan
And he got shot in the neck as well.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
That's another thing. Like, you could see he grabs his neck, and then you see his head go back. And it's not consistent with this idea of a, a magic bullet that goes through two people and creates all the... It looks like he's getting hit multiple times.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
Right. And the brain goes back.
- BRBrian Redban
When it's in slow motion, it's such a grasp.
- THTony Hinchcliffe
It goes into the trunk.
