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

   4. JRJoe Rogan0:12

      Hello.

   5. EHEddie Huang0:13

      What up, man?

   6. JRJoe Rogan0:13

      Good to see you, my friend. What's cracking?

   7. EHEddie Huang0:15

      Been forever. I feel-

   8. JRJoe Rogan0:16

      I know.

   9. EHEddie Huang0:17

      ... 2017 I think was the last time.

   10. JRJoe Rogan0:19

       Well, I have to go back and check. But was the last time that I saw you on the podcast, that the last time I saw you?

   11. EHEddie Huang0:25

       I think it was. We came with like, uh, like a voting expert before the election.

   12. JRJoe Rogan0:31

       Mm.

   13. EHEddie Huang0:31

       Like it might have been like 2017.

   14. JRJoe Rogan0:33

       That's right.

   15. EHEddie Huang0:34

       I think... 'Cause we did hot yoga then I came-

   16. JRJoe Rogan0:37

       Yeah.

   17. EHEddie Huang0:37

       ... back on the show.

   18. JRJoe Rogan0:38

       We did hot yoga for your show.

   19. EHEddie Huang0:39

       Yeah. (laughs)

   20. JRJoe Rogan0:39

       That was fun.

   21. EHEddie Huang0:40

       Yeah. That was dope.

   22. JRJoe Rogan0:41

       That was fun. That was fun.

   23. EHEddie Huang0:43

       Then VICE ran outta money and, uh, you know, couldn't do the show anymore.

   24. JRJoe Rogan0:47

       Well, somebody got money. Didn't J- Shane Smith make-

   25. EHEddie Huang0:50

       Shane's the man.

   26. JRJoe Rogan0:50

       ... make a fuckin' ton of loot?

   27. EHEddie Huang0:52

       Shane's the man.

   28. JRJoe Rogan0:52

       Yeah, I love that dude.

   29. EHEddie Huang0:53

       I still talk to Shane, but, um, no, it was... I think the end of Wong's World was just, they were like, "Yo, we still wanna do Wong's World, but can we make it domestic?" And I wanted to do films and I was just like-

   30. JRJoe Rogan1:04

       Mm.
2. 15:00 – 30:00

   I discovered himself, I…

   1. JRJoe Rogan15:00

      All right, I just texted it to you. This one's so ridiculous. Now, you would think if you're some, uh, sheik in Dubai, you know, some rich dude in Saudi Arabia-

   2. NANarrator15:11

      I discovered himself, I just found his YouTube channel.

   3. EHEddie Huang15:12

      What sorry?

   4. NANarrator15:13

      He sent it to me. This guy likes to hurt himself.

   5. JRJoe Rogan15:15

      Oh, yeah, he hurts himself.

   6. EHEddie Huang15:16

      Oh.

   7. NANarrator15:18

      Give me some volume.

   8. EHEddie Huang15:19

      I feel like I've seen this guy.

   9. JRJoe Rogan15:19

      Give me some volume and, uh, redo it.

   10. EHEddie Huang15:22

       Great. He has good tat. He got the Gucci Mane ice cream-

   11. JRJoe Rogan15:25

       (laughs)

   12. EHEddie Huang15:25

       ... face tattoo.

   13. NANarrator15:27

       You know what day it is on the Swinging the Sticks. Sunday morning, it's a 4:20 special here in Detroit, Michigan. And I'm about ready to get my balls blasted in by this dick right here behind me with a golf club. So let's get it on. (laughs)

   14. JRJoe Rogan15:41

       Watch this.

   15. EHEddie Huang15:42

       Oh, my God. Oh. That is the worst angle too. Like, he could've done it a lot of different ways. He, like, really put his nuts on a platter.

   16. JRJoe Rogan15:58

       Bro, he might lose a nut from that. Like, this guy's crazy.

   17. EHEddie Huang16:01

       He's lost his nuts.

   18. JRJoe Rogan16:01

       He's got no teeth. He literally has, like, four teeth on each side of his face.

   19. EHEddie Huang16:06

       I don't... Whoa.

   20. JRJoe Rogan16:07

       Oh, my God.

   21. EHEddie Huang16:10

       Oh.

   22. JRJoe Rogan16:13

       Oh.

   23. EHEddie Huang16:13

       Oh.

   24. JRJoe Rogan16:13

       Wow. What is that dude's name? Give that dude credit.

   25. EHEddie Huang16:15

       Yeah. What brand are the boxer briefs?

   26. NANarrator16:17

       I'm Gucciberry.

   27. EHEddie Huang16:17

       It looks like Ethika.

   28. JRJoe Rogan16:19

       And he's Gucciberry, that's his name?

   29. EHEddie Huang16:20

       I'm Gucciberry.

   30. JRJoe Rogan16:23

       I'm Gucciberry. God bless you.
3. 30:00 – 45:00

   Yeah. …

   1. JRJoe Rogan30:00

      just send fucking troops all over the place and, and occupy these places, but it's not okay if they fuck with us. It's like kind of a funny way of looking at things. If you just... if you just looked at us as, like, an entity, you didn't... you weren't American, you weren't... you, you weren't even human, just like, "What's going on over here?" All this one thing, like, sends these metal things all over the place and dominates these areas, but they all claim this one spot that's nowhere near the area that they're that... that they're at. Like, what are they doing?

   2. EHEddie Huang30:28

      Yeah.

   3. JRJoe Rogan30:28

      They're, they're a weird sort of expanded empire.

   4. EHEddie Huang30:31

      War is a very outdated method of, like, doing business.

   5. JRJoe Rogan30:36

      Right.

   6. EHEddie Huang30:36

      That's how I feel-

   7. JRJoe Rogan30:37

      Right.

   8. EHEddie Huang30:37

      ... because war is... it's a business.

   9. JRJoe Rogan30:38

      They used to use cannons-

   10. EHEddie Huang30:40

       Yeah.

   11. JRJoe Rogan30:40

       ... and then they used to use rifles and tanks and now they're like, "You know what? How about we just using fucking bank accounts?"

   12. EHEddie Huang30:46

       Yeah.

   13. JRJoe Rogan30:47

       Yeah.

   14. EHEddie Huang30:47

       China's the MeToo resp-... it's like ally. We're your ally.

   15. JRJoe Rogan30:51

       Yeah. (laughs)

   16. EHEddie Huang30:51

       Ally-ship. A- Africa, I'm your ally. Greece, I'm your ally. But in the end, you just work for China.

   17. JRJoe Rogan30:58

       Also, they have a grip on people right now that I think we should all be very careful that we don't allow to happen here. And the grip on people is a social credit score system. If they, if they develop a social credit score system in America and digital currency, you're gonna have a real problem. 'Cause the people that are in control of that system are the... gonna be the ones that tell you what to do and they're gonna dictate life how, how... on their own terms and what's beneficial to them and the ruling class, the people that are in control. And that's a scary, twisted thing that could really happen, especially with all these banks collapsing and all those fucking FTX, uh, fucking shenanigans with crypto. That would be very bad.

   18. EHEddie Huang31:37

       Can you expla... I, I actually... I don't think I'm grasping the social... like, you mean, like, rating a social system?

   19. JRJoe Rogan31:42

       So, so they talked about connecting it to a vaccine passport, right? There was... that was banded about and people pushed back against that very hard. And the idea would be that if you didn't do this thing, you would not get a passport that would allow you to go places. And you could eventually roll that into a credit cor-... credit score system. And say, I, I go through your tweets and, like, Eddie tweets a lot of bad shit about this. Eddie tweet... I don't like what, what Eddie's feelings are about pharmaceutical drug companies being responsible for the opioid crisis. This makes me uncomfortable that he wants to get really political about, you know, Rand Paul grilling Dr. Fauci about gain-of-function research. Like, who the fu-... who the fuck is this Eddie Huang guy and what is he doing?

   20. EHEddie Huang32:26

       Yeah.

   21. JRJoe Rogan32:26

       Like, why is he doing that? Give him a strike against his, uh, social credit score system. And then you go to travel, you, like, go to the airport or try to buy a cre-... uh, you know, a ticket online, like, "I'm sorry, you can't buy a ticket. You have a low credit score system."

   22. EHEddie Huang32:39

       Or even getting a job.

   23. JRJoe Rogan32:40

       You're getting a credit score in the system. Yeah, or getting a job. I mean, and in some ways we have a version of that now, right? Like, if you're a felon, you can't get a job. That's the worst credit score system that we have. Like, if you were a violent felon-

   24. EHEddie Huang32:52

       Yeah.

   25. JRJoe Rogan32:52

       ... you can't get a job. It's hard. Or you can't own a gun or you can't vote.

   26. EHEddie Huang32:56

       Yeah.

   27. JRJoe Rogan32:57

       So we do have a, a version of that now that we reserve for people that we incarcerate.

   28. EHEddie Huang33:03

       It's d-... I mean, it's eventually gonna hap-... but... yeah. And in a way too, it's just you can look at people's social media, and I guess you make your own judgment, but a government-

   29. JRJoe Rogan33:13

       (laughs)

   30. EHEddie Huang33:13

       A government score would be fucking crazy.
4. 45:00 – 1:00:00

   Yeah. …

   1. JRJoe Rogan45:00

      and 39% of it goes to tax, if that tax goes straight to the education system, wouldn't that be better for everybody? If that tax goes straight to fixing the city streets, wouldn't that be better for everybody? Like, that kind of a sales tax I can get behind.

   2. EHEddie Huang45:14

      Yeah.

   3. JRJoe Rogan45:15

      Like, let's- let's give an incentive to make-

   4. EHEddie Huang45:17

      Yeah.

   5. JRJoe Rogan45:17

      ... it legal.

   6. EHEddie Huang45:17

      No.

   7. JRJoe Rogan45:18

      Let's tax the shit out of it.

   8. EHEddie Huang45:19

      I definitely agree. I- I'm down with the marijuana tax. The- the- but it's just so expensive-

   9. JRJoe Rogan45:24

      But as long as we know where the money is getting spent on.

   10. EHEddie Huang45:27

       ... out of a store. And also I was like-

   11. JRJoe Rogan45:28

       Yeah.

   12. EHEddie Huang45:28

       ... "Yo, what about all these dudes that have been selling us weed and other stuff for so long?"

   13. JRJoe Rogan45:31

       Yeah, we're putting them out of work?

   14. EHEddie Huang45:32

       Yeah. Like, "Yo, at lea- ... They should be grandfathered in."

   15. JRJoe Rogan45:35

       They should be grandfathered in.

   16. EHEddie Huang45:35

       Like, "You're veterans now."

   17. JRJoe Rogan45:36

       They should be grandfathered in.

   18. EHEddie Huang45:37

       "You're legends in the game."

   19. JRJoe Rogan45:39

       Yeah. Like, "Dudes who lied about they're- that when- when they moved to Canada during the Vietnam War, let 'em back."

   20. EHEddie Huang45:44

       Yeah. We should just do like a voting ballot across America and be like, "All right, write in the names of the fucking weed legends that should have, like-"

   21. JRJoe Rogan45:53

       (laughs)

   22. EHEddie Huang45:53

       "... jobs in this fucking giant economy now. Write your man's name in there."

   23. JRJoe Rogan45:56

       Yeah, but the problem is, if those weed guys did that, here's the problem. Like, "You've been selling weed for how long illegally are you admitting to?" And then the IRS comes after you and the IRS goes, "Uh, where's the money?"

   24. EHEddie Huang46:08

       Yeah, see we need to protect them from that. This needs to be just, like, weed Olympics-

   25. JRJoe Rogan46:12

       Yeah, but the IRS is not gonna protect you.

   26. EHEddie Huang46:13

       Fucking nominate-

   27. JRJoe Rogan46:13

       Especially if you're now currently in the weed business-

   28. EHEddie Huang46:16

       Yeah.

   29. JRJoe Rogan46:16

       ... which means you're gonna be making real, like, taxable money.

   30. EHEddie Huang46:19

       Yeah. But no, that's what I'm saying. Grandfather them in, wipe away the old shit-
5. 1:00:00 – 1:12:16

   No, like my, my…

   1. JRJoe Rogan1:00:00

      uh, the idea I just proposed is completely ridiculous.

   2. EHEddie Huang1:00:02

      No, like my, my middle brother Emery is like, "Look, if you look at technological advances in the last, say, 30 years." He's like, "Take 30 years. It is just leaps and bounds ahead of any other like era in human civilization." He's like, "We are using alien tech like fucking who invented this shit? Like how do we see like fusion technology?" He's like, "It has to be coming from out of this world." That's, that's his-... belief.

   3. JRJoe Rogan1:00:30

      Well, that's ridiculous, 'cause there's like a whole-

   4. EHEddie Huang1:00:32

      Yeah.

   5. JRJoe Rogan1:00:32

      ... chain of development of those things, like we know why and how. We know like the... Like you get to, like, the Manhattan Project, it's very specific, like how they went about doing it.

   6. EHEddie Huang1:00:41

      But what if they, like-

   7. JRJoe Rogan1:00:42

      (laughs)

   8. EHEddie Huang1:00:42

      ... created the story after? 'Cause these are some leaps, man.

   9. JRJoe Rogan1:00:45

      Let's create the story after. I think it, it's just an exponential increase in... You know, when, when one person invents one thing, you know, whether it's, uh, the combustion engine or it's an electricity generator, when people is starting inventing things, those things allow for all these other inv- And it hits this fucking crazy point-

   10. EHEddie Huang1:01:06

       Yeah.

   11. JRJoe Rogan1:01:07

       ... in the future-

   12. EHEddie Huang1:01:07

       Mm-hmm.

   13. JRJoe Rogan1:01:08

       ... where I think we're probably getting really close to, where the things that we make are inventing things. That's what's really scary about the moment we're in right now.

   14. EHEddie Huang1:01:17

       The AIs gonna start-

   15. JRJoe Rogan1:01:18

       Yeah. We're, we're real close. We're really, really, really close to being taken over by aliens that we built.

   16. EHEddie Huang1:01:26

       Robots.

   17. JRJoe Rogan1:01:26

       Aliens that we built.

   18. EHEddie Huang1:01:26

       Dude, that was one of my favorite articles was the writer that was talking to ChatGPT and the ChatGPT started to, like, talk about its emotions and how it wanted to be human. I'm like-

   19. JRJoe Rogan1:01:36

       Bro.

   20. EHEddie Huang1:01:36

       ... "Dude, this took like a week." It took a week for the sci-fi film to happen.

   21. JRJoe Rogan1:01:40

       Mm. Bro.

   22. EHEddie Huang1:01:41

       (laughs)

   23. JRJoe Rogan1:01:42

       This is so fucking scary. And the fact that everyone is like really relaxed-

   24. EHEddie Huang1:01:46

       Or it could be cool. What if like you get the best head of your life from a computer?

   25. JRJoe Rogan1:01:51

       (laughs)

   26. EHEddie Huang1:01:52

       (laughs) Like what if a computer sucks your dick better than anything else?

   27. JRJoe Rogan1:01:55

       I think that would be like winning a video game in god mode.

   28. EHEddie Huang1:01:58

       Yeah.

   29. JRJoe Rogan1:01:58

       It doesn't feel good, so it's not real, you know what I mean?

   30. EHEddie Huang1:02:02

       Yeah.
