   4. JBJim Breuer0:16

      (laughs)

   5. JRJoe Rogan0:17

      Good to see you, my brother.

   6. JBJim Breuer0:18

      You too, man. I feel like I'm- I feel like I'm seeing, um, like a high school friend.

   7. JRJoe Rogan0:24

      I know.

   8. JBJim Breuer0:24

      And I've been out of high school for a long time.

   9. JRJoe Rogan0:26

      But when we met, we were, like, fresh out of high school.

   10. JBJim Breuer0:28

       Yeah.

   11. JRJoe Rogan0:28

       When we met, we were in our early 20s.

   12. JBJim Breuer0:30

       Yeah, we were really young.

   13. JRJoe Rogan0:31

       Yeah.

   14. JBJim Breuer0:32

       We were young.

   15. JRJoe Rogan0:33

       Bro, we've been friends for, like, 31 years.

   16. JBJim Breuer0:36

       Dude. (laughs)

   17. JRJoe Rogan0:36

       So crazy. Or maybe 32. It might be 32 years.

   18. JBJim Breuer0:40

       Yeah, but, well, I've been married-

   19. JRJoe Rogan0:41

       It's, like, '91?

   20. JBJim Breuer0:42

       ... 30.

   21. JRJoe Rogan0:42

       Yeah.

   22. JBJim Breuer0:43

       And I wasn't married. I was with the same girl.

   23. JRJoe Rogan0:46

       Yeah, yeah.

   24. JBJim Breuer0:47

       And so that was at least-

   25. JRJoe Rogan0:47

       So, like-

   26. JBJim Breuer0:47

       ... 31, 32 years ago.

   27. JRJoe Rogan0:49

       ... at least 31, 32 years ago. Yeah. (laughs)

   28. JBJim Breuer0:53

       Bro, and you-

   29. JRJoe Rogan0:54

       (laughs)

   30. JBJim Breuer0:55

       ... you cracked me up then and you crack me up now.
2. 3:06 – 4:31

   Martial arts, discipline, and why hard things improve the rest of life

   1. JRJoe Rogan3:06

      But a lot of those guys are getting into martial arts, you know?

   2. JBJim Breuer3:07

      Huh?

   3. JRJoe Rogan3:07

      It's- A lot of those guys are getting into martial arts, you know, because, th- like, guys are trying jujitsu. It's- it's really interesting because it's like they're realizing, like, there's something to that. There's something to doing that thing, that very difficult physical thing, it makes you better at other stuff.

   4. JBJim Breuer3:23

      I want to do it and I didn't commit to it yet because I know-

   5. JRJoe Rogan3:26

      You should go with Joey. (laughs) Joey loves it. Joey Diaz? He does jujitsu all the time.

   6. JBJim Breuer3:31

      But he's in Jersey, right?

   7. JRJoe Rogan3:32

      Yeah, you're not in Jersey anymore.

   8. JBJim Breuer3:33

      I'm in Florida now.

   9. JRJoe Rogan3:34

      You're in Florida now. There's plenty of places in Florida I could set you up with.

   10. JBJim Breuer3:36

       There is plenty, but-

   11. JRJoe Rogan3:37

       Oh my god, Florida's filled with, like, high-level jujitsu.

   12. JBJim Breuer3:40

       But what I was gonna s- what I was gonna say was, it's- it- knowing what you're capable of definitely- definitely adds to everything about you, the way-

   13. JRJoe Rogan3:51

       Yeah.

   14. JBJim Breuer3:52

       ... your whole day goes about. Like, it- there's ab-

   15. JRJoe Rogan3:54

       Yeah.

   16. JBJim Breuer3:54

       It creates a- a fearless, if that makes sense.

   17. JRJoe Rogan3:56

       Well, it's just like- it gives you more of an understanding of other stuff. Like, if you get good at s- a thing that's hard to do, it gives you a better understanding of how to get good at other stuff.

   18. JBJim Breuer4:06

       Yeah.

   19. JRJoe Rogan4:07

       Not just- and they- even life.

   20. JBJim Breuer4:08

       And discipline?

   21. JRJoe Rogan4:08

       And just life in general. Like, j- j- having a difficult thing that you do in your life I think makes the rest of life easier. I really do. And I think- I think we're just- humans are so adaptable, man. You look at people that live in horrible conditions and they seem fine. Like, you ever see, like, these videos of these villages where these kids are playing and there's just dirt, there's nothing else, and they're just kicking around a- a homemade soccer ball, laughing and giggling?

3. 4:31 – 9:05

   Travel to Africa and the appeal of simpler, hunter-gatherer life

   1. JBJim Breuer4:31

      Joe, let- so- so last year- two years ago, we go on a big vacation, right? I t- I like going to Africa. I like... And we're- we go to this tribe. And-

   2. JRJoe Rogan4:42

      What part of Africa did you go?

   3. JBJim Breuer4:43

      This one was in Kenya. It was right outside of Kenya. And we flew into Nairobi, it was just outside of Kenya. Um, but remember when you were a kid and, like, you'd build a fort? Like, if me and you were hanging out, we're 12 years-

   4. JRJoe Rogan4:56

      Right.

   5. JBJim Breuer4:56

      ... 12 years old, telling you, like, "Oh, you want to build a fort?" "Yeah." "Okay." You're gonna end up getting, like, "Okay, I got a- I- I got a trash can."

   6. JRJoe Rogan5:03

      Yeah.

   7. JBJim Breuer5:04

      "I got my dad's jacket. I got the hood of a car." And we're get- and we love... And then- and then once you build the fort, then you're inside and you're, like, "This is where we're gonna cook." Dude, that's what these guys lived in. And they lo- they were... It was like watching kids play fort and they were just so proud. I went in... I'll show you a picture later.

   8. JRJoe Rogan5:24

      Wow.

   9. JBJim Breuer5:24

      It's so fucking cool. You go in and they... It- that's all they got and... I think that when you say that it's all they got, it's a misconception.

   10. JRJoe Rogan5:33

       Yeah.

   11. JBJim Breuer5:34

       They have everything they-

   12. JRJoe Rogan5:35

       Because they- they exist just like we exist.

   13. JBJim Breuer5:36

       Yeah.

   14. JRJoe Rogan5:36

       Like, they're alive and thriving just like we're alive and thriving. It's just a- to- completely different way of living. A hunter-gatherer's way of living apparently, when you talk to... And I'm not- I'm not talking about, like... Let's be real clear, I'm not talking about, like, third world people who live in, like, rural poverty.

   15. JBJim Breuer5:53

       Mm-hmm.

   16. JRJoe Rogan5:53

       I'm- I'm talking about hunter-gatherers.

   17. JBJim Breuer5:55

       Yeah.

   18. JRJoe Rogan5:55

       I'm talking about people that exist off the land.

   19. JBJim Breuer5:57

       Right.

   20. JRJoe Rogan5:58

       The- there's something about that they think resonates with people because that's how we evolved. And so when people do that, they're very happy.... like they had a really interesting docuseries on Vice back in the day called HeinMo's Arctic Adventure, and it's about this guy, HeinMo Korth. I hope I saying, I'm saying his name right. I think I am. And this dude, um, m- moved up to, uh, the Arctic in, like, the 1970s and he's been there ever since. This dude doesn't have a tele- he's got a TV with, like, VHS tapes and he watches movies occasionally. He- he saw about 9/11, he saw a photo of 9/11. He's still never seen the planes go into the towers. And this guy moved up there and met this woman, this indigenous woman, and, uh, had a- a family with her. And it's- and- and this fucking guy lives in, like, a log house that's in the middle of the woods and he's surrounded by grizzly bears. He had to kill a grizzly bear on camera in the middle of this thing. The grizzly bear was coming to kill his- his dog or eat his caribou or something. They- no, it's killed one of his dogs in the past. Like, you could have your dogs tied up outside to bark, to make sure that they know when bears are coming.

   21. JBJim Breuer7:10

       Right.

   22. JRJoe Rogan7:10

       And a bear ate his fucking dog. The dog was tied up, they came back, the- the dog was dead, just pieces of it. Like, and this guy lives like this, and he's li- and he's so happy, but he's also super intelligent. So when this guy's talking, he's explaining how, "I think this is how people are supposed to live."

   23. JBJim Breuer7:26

       W- w- well, not only that too, but knowing that your life, or any life can end at any moment, at any time. I think y- when you have a reality that just how- how delicate all of life is-

   24. JRJoe Rogan7:43

       Yeah.

   25. JBJim Breuer7:44

       ... you have a different perception and you take... and you look at things a lot differently. Like you- you- you lose someone-

   26. JRJoe Rogan7:49

       For sure.

   27. JBJim Breuer7:49

       ... you truly love... This fucker knows a- all of them are vulnerable, including self.

   28. JRJoe Rogan7:55

       He lost his baby. He lost a two-year-old baby. It fell out of their boat-

   29. JBJim Breuer7:59

       Tssh.

   30. JRJoe Rogan7:59

       ... in the rapids.
4. 9:05 – 11:34

   Old-world craftsmanship: Japanese nail-less joinery and building ingenuity

   1. JRJoe Rogan9:05

      Dude, you know what I saw that was fascinating the other day? They, uh, p- took apart this, uh, 100-plus-year-old Japanese building that was made with no nails.

   2. JBJim Breuer9:17

      So-

   3. JRJoe Rogan9:17

      The craftsmanship is so insane. They have these wood cuts where they wedge into each other perfectly, and then they have a separate wedge that they put in each piece to secure it in place, and they built this house this way, with no nails, over 100 years ago.

   4. JBJim Breuer9:35

      Is this like the log cabin thing too, where you, like, you-

   5. JRJoe Rogan9:38

      What is... No, but it's not like a log ca-... It's, like, perfect. Like, a log cabin, it's kind of rough.

   6. JBJim Breuer9:43

      Right.

   7. JRJoe Rogan9:43

      You know, like, they do that and they make those cuts and they slide them in place, but it's a little rough. I'm talking about, like, this precision thin cuts on wood where they mesh together perfectly.

   8. JBJim Breuer9:53

      I saw this, I saw a complete opposite where they built into the ground.

   9. JRJoe Rogan9:58

      Hmm.

   10. JBJim Breuer9:58

       And I- I don't know if it was, like, India or whatever, like, it- it- d- d... They had brown skin and they built this most incredible underground bedroom just from digging and placing things over certain areas. Bro, it was just-

   11. JRJoe Rogan10:16

       So, they just went into a mountainside?

   12. JBJim Breuer10:18

       We have to... Y- it wasn't even a mountainside. He went i-

   13. JRJoe Rogan10:19

       A hillside?

   14. JBJim Breuer10:20

       Yeah.

   15. JRJoe Rogan10:20

       Where they went into the ground?

   16. JBJim Breuer10:21

       Went in the grou- and went first a-

   17. JRJoe Rogan10:22

       Like a hobbit house?

   18. JBJim Breuer10:23

       Yes.

   19. JRJoe Rogan10:24

       Wow.

   20. JBJim Breuer10:24

       It was so cool.

   21. NANarrator10:26

       Here's a...

   22. JRJoe Rogan10:27

       Yeah, this is it. Look at how they did this.

   23. JBJim Breuer10:28

       This is-

   24. NANarrator10:29

       Okay.

   25. JRJoe Rogan10:29

       This is the Japanese construction. Isn't that insane? Look how they've made these fucking perfect cut wedges, and they just slide into each other, and they had this whole building built like this. There's no nails. And it w- it existed like this perfectly for 100 years. So they're deconstructing it. I'm- I'm hoping that they're gonna reconstruct it. I don't know what they're doing.

   26. JBJim Breuer10:53

       So how old is this thing?

   27. JRJoe Rogan10:55

       Over 100 years old, I believe. 100 years ago. Yeah, uh, i- i- w- it's joinery.

   28. NANarrator11:00

       When I was looking it up, it says that that's how they did construction in Japan back then.

   29. JRJoe Rogan11:04

       It's amazing.

   30. NANarrator11:04

       They have a bunch of videos showing this stuff.
5. 11:34 – 17:23

   Hard labor jobs, fear of heights, and how they pushed them toward comedy

   1. JRJoe Rogan11:34

      That probably gives you cancer. Like, what kind of bug repellent? That stuff's so nasty. When I did construction, I used to have to carry pressure-treated lumber. And, uh, you- you'd- c- 'cause that was a grunt. And pressure-treated lumber, you get splinters in you.

   2. JBJim Breuer11:46

      Yeah.

   3. JRJoe Rogan11:46

      And you- you- you're basically getting inoculated with (laughs) some chemical.

   4. JBJim Breuer11:51

      (laughs)

   5. JRJoe Rogan11:51

      Like, what the fuck is pressure-treated lumber pressure-treated with? It does... It smells terrible.

   6. JBJim Breuer11:56

      (laughs) It's amazing.

   7. JRJoe Rogan11:57

      We have to- we used to have to car-... I- I had one job that I had during the summer with my friend Jimmy Lawless. He got me a job working for his construction company.

   8. JBJim Breuer12:05

      Yeah.

   9. JRJoe Rogan12:05

      And Jimmy was a carpenter at the time and I was a laborer. And, uh, we had to build a Knights of Columbus ramp, and it was just carrying pressure-treated lumber and cement all day.

   10. JBJim Breuer12:15

       (laughs)

   11. JRJoe Rogan12:15

       Dude.

   12. JBJim Breuer12:16

       (laughs)

   13. JRJoe Rogan12:16

       I did two weeks and then I was-

   14. JBJim Breuer12:17

       How old are you? How old are you?

   15. JRJoe Rogan12:18

       I guess I was 18. Yeah, somewhere around 18.

   16. JBJim Breuer12:21

       It's the last thing you wanna be doing.

   17. JRJoe Rogan12:22

       Yeah. I was like, "Fuck this."

   18. JBJim Breuer12:24

       (laughs)

   19. JRJoe Rogan12:25

       'Cause I had like entertained some romantic ideas of going into construction, you know, be like a thu- a f- good thi- but I wasn't interested in it, you know. I was like, I did a lot of construction gigs 'cause my stepdad was an architect, so I was always on construction sites when I was a kid. But, uh, the, that, that is fucking hard work, man.

   20. JBJim Breuer12:42

       Du- that, that's a whole different level of work. That's a-

   21. JRJoe Rogan12:44

       Yeah.

   22. JBJim Breuer12:45

       That is, you're getting up early. You're using every muscle in your body. I did that for like three days tops, I think.

   23. JRJoe Rogan12:53

       (laughs)

   24. JBJim Breuer12:53

       I'm not even kidding. My frie- th- here's, what happened to me was, he goes, um, "You know, we're working on this," whatever building, I don't know, it was a chur- whatever it was. I'm petrified of heights, all right, so I was fine on the ground gathering things and bringing shit. But when he was like, "Okay, take this screw gun and then you're gonna go up the scaffold and fucking..." I went, "What?"

   25. JRJoe Rogan13:16

       Yeah, no harness.

   26. JBJim Breuer13:17

       So... Right.

   27. JRJoe Rogan13:18

       No nothing.

   28. JBJim Breuer13:18

       No nothing.

   29. JRJoe Rogan13:18

       Just climb that thing. (laughs)

   30. JBJim Breuer13:20

       So I stood there. I stood there, and every time he was looking, it looked like I was eh, and then he caught on like 15... He's like, "Brew, you haven't even... Kid, you haven't even gotten one in." I'm like, "Ah, fu- uh, fuck's sake."
6. 17:23 – 31:43

   Pandemic “essential work,” vitamin D debates, and mistrust in messaging

   1. JRJoe Rogan17:23

      There's certain jobs where like, Jesus Christ, like how, how do you pro- protect people like that in a pandemic? Like you can't stop them from working. They, they, they just... Isn't it funny that like certain people this, were allowed to keep working? Like criti-

   2. JBJim Breuer17:38

      Dude, don't, don't get me started on that shit.

   3. JRJoe Rogan17:39

      Well what's weird is like they, they had jobs that were deemed critical.

   4. JBJim Breuer17:43

      That was my favorite.

   5. JRJoe Rogan17:44

      Yeah.

   6. JBJim Breuer17:45

      We will tell you what jobs are essential.

   7. JRJoe Rogan17:48

      What was the essential? Yeah, so that meant-

   8. JBJim Breuer17:50

      Essential.

   9. JRJoe Rogan17:50

      ... if you were nonessential, like you didn't contribute to society, you were nonessential.

   10. JBJim Breuer17:55

       We will decide who is essential.

   11. JRJoe Rogan17:58

       The weird thing is that podcasting was essential.

   12. JBJim Breuer18:01

       It was very essential.

   13. JRJoe Rogan18:02

       But it was.

   14. JBJim Breuer18:03

       Yes it was.

   15. JRJoe Rogan18:04

       Like it was, it was listed as, 'cause it's entertainment. The show must go on.

   16. JBJim Breuer18:08

       The show must go on.

   17. JRJoe Rogan18:09

       People need to be entertained.

   18. JBJim Breuer18:11

       Meanwhile, we didn't know we were part of the sub show.

   19. JRJoe Rogan18:13

       Yeah, we were part of a weird show.

   20. JBJim Breuer18:15

       Yes.

   21. JRJoe Rogan18:17

       I remember the early days, like, uh, Dana White wanted to put on an event and, uh, they were saying, "No, you can't have events anymore."

   22. JBJim Breuer18:26

       With CO- because of COVID?

   23. JRJoe Rogan18:26

       Yeah. Because of COVID. He's like, "Shut the fuck up. I'm gonna find a place for this." And then eventually, we, uh, wound up doing it indoors with no audience eventually. It was a few months in, they wind up doing, uh, we did a show in Jacksonville, I believe. I belie-... It was definitely Florida. I think it was Jacksonville. And, uh, no, uh, no audience in an arena. It was wild.

   24. JBJim Breuer18:47

       Hm. I remember that.

   25. JRJoe Rogan18:48

       It was weird 'cause it was a big ass arena. And, you know, there's just us and everybody's weirded out. (laughs)

   26. JBJim Breuer18:55

       (laughs)

   27. JRJoe Rogan18:55

       Like such a small amount of people. And everybody's like, "Are we gonna die?" Like is this like, "What the fuck is this?" It was like the early days of the pandemic. Everybody was still really weirded out by it.

   28. JBJim Breuer19:04

       You know, it was, it was very frustrating for me because I just came off of like the, uh, you know, Impractical Joker cruise. I just toured... I, I left Metallica and then did my own tour. So all I thought about was, okay, all those tours that were out there, all those bands, thousands of bands are touring everywhere. And all of a sudden, in March, we're like, "Everything's shut." But up until February, you had thousands of different bands, all the meet and greets, all the hotels, all the airlines, all the partying. And no one, no, no one out of that, you never heard anyone dying. And I, I saw... I, I would do meet and greets, have people coughing on me. I didn't know anyone dying. And I'm not saying people didn't die. We're not saying that because they get pissed like, "Are you..." Is someone right now going, "Are you saying someone didn't die?" Sorry. No, dude. It's not what I'm saying.

   29. JRJoe Rogan20:06

       You want to hear the most fucked up statistic that I've heard recently? 74% of hospitalizations and deaths could have been prevented... Is it 74%? Is that the number? With vitamin D. If people had adequate levels of vitamin D.

   30. JBJim Breuer20:19

       Bro, you're-
7. 31:43 – 37:55

   Corporate PR chaos: Bud Light backlash, branding, and “dorks in charge”

   1. JRJoe Rogan31:43

      You know what it's like? The corporations, we want to think of them as being these impossibly large machines that make money, and they are, but they're just run by people.

   2. JBJim Breuer31:55

      Yeah.

   3. JRJoe Rogan31:56

      And some people are dorks. And those dorks get important jobs and they put Dylan Mulvaney on a Bud Light can.

   4. JBJim Breuer32:06

      (laughs)

   5. JRJoe Rogan32:07

      That's what it is. These are dorks. And you see the response that Bud had, the most recent response? It's, it's like the fucking dumbest pro-America rah, wah, rah, rah. Like, we don't know who you really are now. There's like interviews with the lady who was the, the head of Bud Light talking about why they did it and about the old sort of frat culture attached to Bud Light. Dismissing-

   6. JBJim Breuer32:34

      (laughs)

   7. JRJoe Rogan32:34

      ... the people and like the humor of the people that like Bud Light. And so they're gonna change that with, with this crazy attention whore-

   8. JBJim Breuer32:42

      (laughs)

   9. JRJoe Rogan32:43

      ... on day 365 of being a woman. I mean, we are in a fucking-

   10. JBJim Breuer32:49

       What-

   11. JRJoe Rogan32:49

       ... Cohen brothers movie. This is a Mike Judge movie.

   12. JBJim Breuer32:51

       You're 1,000% cor-

   13. JRJoe Rogan32:52

       Yeah.

   14. JBJim Breuer32:52

       Like how does no, how does nobody else see what, what lunacy is going on right now?

   15. JRJoe Rogan32:58

       It's such lunacy.

   16. JBJim Breuer32:58

       There's no other way to explain it.

   17. JRJoe Rogan33:00

       Bro, you gotta watch this Bud Light commercial, this new Bud Light commercial. Find the new Bud Light commercial.

   18. JBJim Breuer33:04

       It's just, it's just like the-

   19. JRJoe Rogan33:04

       This is like... It's the dumbest pro-America rah, rah. It's so stupid and cliché. It fucking, it hurts my feelings, it's so dumb. Listen, listen. (laughs)

   20. JBJim Breuer33:16

       Dude.

   21. JRJoe Rogan33:16

       This is a company in deep shit, bro.

   22. JBJim Breuer33:19

       (laughs)

   23. JRJoe Rogan33:19

       And they make things like this. Look, you got the prairies, the ocean. You got a Clydesdale running down the street.

   24. NANarrator33:25

       Let me tell you a story-

   25. JRJoe Rogan33:26

       Whoa.

   26. NANarrator33:28

       ... about a beer-

   27. JBJim Breuer33:30

       (laughs)

   28. JRJoe Rogan33:31

       (laughs)

   29. NANarrator33:31

       ... rooted in the heart of America.

   30. JBJim Breuer33:33

       Oh, psh, I'm just...
8. 37:55 – 43:01

   Billionaire feuds and future vehicles: Tesla, shorting, and the Cybertruck wow-factor

   1. JRJoe Rogan37:55

      Yeah. I love that Elon Musk-

   2. JBJim Breuer37:56

      You're just moving assets.

   3. JRJoe Rogan37:57

      Elon Musk and Bill Gates have a little dispute because Bill Gates shorts Tesla.

   4. JBJim Breuer38:01

      What?

   5. JRJoe Rogan38:02

      He shorts it, meaning he, like, he, he banks on Tesla doing poorly.

   6. JBJim Breuer38:07

      (sighs)

   7. JRJoe Rogan38:08

      And Elon, Elon and him have, like, a billionaire feud because of this.

   8. JBJim Breuer38:12

      Bro, that's-

   9. JRJoe Rogan38:13

      (laughs)

   10. JBJim Breuer38:13

       That... (laughs)

   11. JRJoe Rogan38:17

       He's petty. I love it.

   12. JBJim Breuer38:19

       (laughs)

   13. JRJoe Rogan38:20

       I'm not petty, but I like when people are. (laughs)

   14. JBJim Breuer38:26

       (laughs)

   15. JRJoe Rogan38:26

       I do. I enjoy it. I enjoy when people are petty.

   16. JBJim Breuer38:29

       Yeah, like, what do two billionaires, what are they, what are they upping each other on? Like, how do two billionaires-

   17. JRJoe Rogan38:35

       I just, I don't, I just think it's, like-

   18. JBJim Breuer38:36

       ... up each other?

   19. JRJoe Rogan38:36

       ... disrespectful for Bill Gates to short Tesla's position.

   20. JBJim Breuer38:40

       That's, that's a, that's a gangster move.

   21. JRJoe Rogan38:42

       Yeah, it's also, it's not wi-

   22. JBJim Breuer38:43

       I'm not a fan of Bill Gates.

   23. JRJoe Rogan38:44

       It's not a wise move, 'cause you know that, that company's gonna kill it. Wait til that goddamn Cybertruck comes out. Dude, let me tell you something, that is the coolest vehicle I've ever seen in person in my life.

   24. JBJim Breuer38:55

       What is it? What is it?

   25. JRJoe Rogan38:55

       The Cybertruck from Tesla. It's a stamped steel, electric, all, off-road vehicle that's bulletproof. It could stop a .45 round. It's, you can raise and lower the height, so you can off-road on this fucking thing. It looks like it's 100 years in the future. When you're standing next to it, it is absolutely the coolest looking car I've ever seen. Like, you see it on, in pictures. Have you ever seen it in pictures?

   26. JBJim Breuer39:23

       No.

   27. JRJoe Rogan39:24

       If you see it in pictures it looks fucking badass. But if you see it in person, you realize how big this thing is and then you get in it, it's fucking gorgeous. That's what it looks like. That's, when that thing comes out, you can't make enough of these fucking things. These goddamn things are gonna be everywhere. Everyone's gonna have a bulletproof car.

   28. JBJim Breuer39:43

       (laughs)

   29. JRJoe Rogan39:44

       Like, Bill Gates is making a terrible choice. That's what it looks like.

   30. JBJim Breuer39:48

       Oh.
9. 43:01 – 55:47

   Truck talk and lifestyle drift: Raptors, Toyotas, Naples wealth, and wanting less city

   1. JBJim Breuer43:01

      Honda Insight.

   2. JRJoe Rogan43:02

      Mm.... we gotta get you out of that thing.

   3. JBJim Breuer43:05

      I know. Everyone tries to.

   4. JRJoe Rogan43:06

      Jesus Christ.

   5. JBJim Breuer43:06

      I've always... I don't know if it's, like, a dorky thing-

   6. JRJoe Rogan43:09

      What's wrong with you?

   7. JBJim Breuer43:09

      I always drive little shithead cars.

   8. JRJoe Rogan43:13

      Why do you li- do you like them?

   9. JBJim Breuer43:15

      Uh, I just like, I, I just like fucking... I like trucks.

   10. JRJoe Rogan43:20

       What kind of trucks?

   11. JBJim Breuer43:22

       Like a 150.

   12. JRJoe Rogan43:23

       Why don't you get yourself a Raptor?

   13. JBJim Breuer43:25

       A Raptor?

   14. JRJoe Rogan43:26

       Yeah. Jim Brewer-

   15. JBJim Breuer43:28

       Tell me about the Raptor.

   16. JRJoe Rogan43:29

       ... in an F-150 Raptor.

   17. JBJim Breuer43:31

       A Raptor?

   18. JRJoe Rogan43:31

       Yeah. You know about that?

   19. JBJim Breuer43:33

       Tell me about it.

   20. JRJoe Rogan43:33

       It's a high-performance Ford F-150 off-road capable pickup truck that you can take around the street.

   21. JBJim Breuer43:41

       (laughs) Well, it-

   22. JRJoe Rogan43:43

       You know, like, literally, like-

   23. JBJim Breuer43:44

       ... like Elon's truck?

   24. JRJoe Rogan43:45

       Oh, yeah. It can do anything.

   25. JBJim Breuer43:47

       Really?

   26. JRJoe Rogan43:47

       Oh, Raptors are super capable. Yeah, you could go Baja fucking Racing in one of those things.

   27. JBJim Breuer43:51

       For real?

   28. JRJoe Rogan43:51

       You can go off-roading in them.

   29. JBJim Breuer43:53

       That's cool.

   30. JRJoe Rogan43:53

       Oh, yeah. Raptors, like, from the factory, you can take that bitch off-roading.
10. 55:47 – 1:06:33

    Hunting as a mental reset: mountain lions, the cycle of life, and ranch realities

    1. JBJim Breuer55:47

       You don't never get those feelings yet?

    2. JRJoe Rogan55:50

       What, the wanna go away from everything feelings?

    3. JBJim Breuer55:51

       Just, like, dude, fucking out.

    4. JRJoe Rogan55:53

       Yeah. Well, you know what we were talking about before when we were talking about-

    5. JBJim Breuer55:56

       Neighborhood hunting hunts.

    6. JRJoe Rogan55:56

       ... like, hunter-gatherer people-

    7. JBJim Breuer55:58

       Right.

    8. JRJoe Rogan55:58

       ... and people... I go hunting every year, and that's, to me, like, it's a big reset. When I go, like, in the mountains of Utah, when I'm there for a week, it's like, it's a big reset. And it's also, man, you're in the real wild. Like, w- we were there, I guess it was two years ago that I saw that cat. Was it two years? It wasn't this year.

    9. NANarrator56:16

       Yes.

    10. JRJoe Rogan56:17

        It was the year before that, right?

    11. JBJim Breuer56:18

        Mount Rainier?

    12. JRJoe Rogan56:19

        Saw a giant cat. It was so big, dude. It was under a tree. My friend Colton spotted it for... We were driving, he was driving, and we were, um, taking this dirt road, and we go through this creek, and we're going up this little hill, and he stops on the brakes real quick. And he goes, "Look at that fucking lion." And I look, and I just see these glowing eyes that are underneath this tree. And the headlights, it was just getting dusk out-

    13. JBJim Breuer56:44

        Yeah.

    14. JRJoe Rogan56:44

        ... and the headlights were catching his eyes, and his eyes were glowing. Bro, it was huge. He had this big old fucking pumpkin head and these giant forearms, and he was sitting there, and this was a full-grown tom mountain lion. It was a real big male, like, a 180, 190-pound cat, like, that... It was that big. It was so crazy. I'd seen 'em before, but the ones I'd seen before were, like, little ones. I saw, like, a 60-pounder maybe, or a 70-pounder running across the street in Montecito, in Santa Barbara. I was just driving, and I saw this thing run across the street, and then I saw its tail. I was like, "Oh, shit, that's a mountain lion."

    15. JBJim Breuer57:22

        So, what do you do, so, what do you do when you see this thing staring at you like you-

    16. JRJoe Rogan57:27

        Well, we were in a truck, luckily.

    17. JBJim Breuer57:28

        Okay, okay, okay.

    18. JRJoe Rogan57:29

        Luckily, we were in a truck.

    19. JBJim Breuer57:30

        Okay.

    20. JRJoe Rogan57:30

        But dude, I pulled out my binoculars from the truck, 'cause it was about 30 yards away from us. I pulled out my binoculars in the truck, and I was freaking out. Just, just closed in on this thing, this fucking killing machine.

    21. JBJim Breuer57:43

        (laughs)

    22. JRJoe Rogan57:43

        Dude, I'd never seen one that close before in the wild. It's terrifying. Any illusions you have of escape or fighting it off, they go a-... your brain does all these calculations, like, "Maybe I could've fucking..." No, it'd be-

    23. JBJim Breuer57:58

        (laughs)

    24. JRJoe Rogan57:59

        It's just, all that shit is gone. All that shit is so out the window when you actually see one. Like, you're, you just melt. You're like, "Oh, my God, I'm putty. I'm, I'm a b-... a water balloon. I'm a li-... it's just gonna scratch me t- apart." They're so big, dude, and so scary.

    25. JBJim Breuer58:15

        Yeah, they're scary. Yeah.

    26. JRJoe Rogan58:15

        Like-

    27. JBJim Breuer58:15

        Yeah.

    28. JRJoe Rogan58:16

        ... you, you ha-... you really have to be careful and/or have a gun, because if there's a, there's a moment if you're in the wrong place at the wrong time, where people get got every year. The people get got, the joggers and hikers, they get got. Th- those motherfuckers will eat you.

    29. JBJim Breuer58:34

        And there's nothing you could do. They, they hit you, you're out.

    30. JRJoe Rogan58:36

        Dude-
11. 1:06:33 – 1:14:14

    “Podcast ranch” fantasies, blowing things up safely, and war footage shock

    1. JRJoe Rogan1:06:33

       But I want one.

    2. JBJim Breuer1:06:35

       You want one too?

    3. JRJoe Rogan1:06:35

       I've thought about doing one, yeah. What I've, what I've thought about is making a podcast ranch. I've thought about buying a ranch and putting a studio on the ranch and have a bunch of cool shit we could do on the ranch. Like, have a lake where you can go fishing and, you know, have some fun. Have, like, a little concert area, so, like, friends can come by. We could play concerts and shit.

    4. JBJim Breuer1:06:56

       That's a cool idea.

    5. JRJoe Rogan1:06:58

       Just for fun. Just for fun.

    6. JBJim Breuer1:06:58

       That is a lot of fun.

    7. JRJoe Rogan1:06:59

       Yeah.

    8. JBJim Breuer1:07:01

       I say you invest in that immediately.

    9. JRJoe Rogan1:07:02

       Yeah, I was, like, thinking about it.

    10. JBJim Breuer1:07:05

        (laughs)

    11. NANarrator1:07:05

        (laughs)

    12. JRJoe Rogan1:07:05

        It needs a landing strip.

    13. JBJim Breuer1:07:05

        I'm learning how to play guitar, Joe.

    14. JRJoe Rogan1:07:07

        We need a landing strip.

    15. JBJim Breuer1:07:09

        Need a landing strip?

    16. JRJoe Rogan1:07:10

        (laughs)

    17. JBJim Breuer1:07:10

        You... (laughs)

    18. JRJoe Rogan1:07:12

        You need a small airport.... yeah. Yeah.

    19. JBJim Breuer1:07:14

        That's hilarious.

    20. JRJoe Rogan1:07:15

        A ranch with a small airport.

    21. JBJim Breuer1:07:16

        Yeah.

    22. JRJoe Rogan1:07:17

        And rocket launchers. We're gonna need some rocket launchers.

    23. JBJim Breuer1:07:19

        Uh, yeah.

    24. JRJoe Rogan1:07:21

        We need something like-

    25. JBJim Breuer1:07:21

        Depending on who you start a row with, you're definitely gonna need it.

    26. JRJoe Rogan1:07:22

        ... heavy ordinance. We're gonna need some shit we could just... things that you could blow up large things with-

    27. JBJim Breuer1:07:29

        I just need-

    28. JRJoe Rogan1:07:30

        ... like, like-

    29. JBJim Breuer1:07:30

        ... like, a Wiffle ball field. Can we get, can...

    30. JRJoe Rogan1:07:32

        Take people out for target practice.
