1. 0:00 – 1:20

   Settling in: the “Capisco” ergonomic chair and podcast comfort

   1. NANarrator0:00

      (drumming music) Joe Rogan podcast, check it out. The Joe Rogan Experience.

   2. JRJoe Rogan0:06

      Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day. (rock music) I know these chairs are kinda weird, but they are the fucking best chairs that I've ever found for sitting-

   3. AIAdrienne Iapalucci0:17

      Oh, no, I like it.

   4. JRJoe Rogan0:17

      ... for long hours at a time.

   5. AIAdrienne Iapalucci0:19

      I like it.

   6. JRJoe Rogan0:19

      It's called a Capisco, and is it Fully? What's the name of the company that makes them? They're the shit, the best ergonomic chairs I've ever had. They're the onl- for podcasting, 'cause y- if you think you wanna be, like, comfortable in like, like a nice, like, uh, one of those cool chairs with the buttons in it, you know, that people would sit and smoke cigars, after a while, your back would hurt.

   7. AIAdrienne Iapalucci0:39

      Oh, no.

   8. JRJoe Rogan0:39

      It's like you don't really, you have to kinda stay upright.

   9. AIAdrienne Iapalucci0:43

      Makes sense.

   10. JRJoe Rogan0:44

       These are the best.

   11. AIAdrienne Iapalucci0:45

       I like it. The other one was just like, so tall.

   12. JRJoe Rogan0:48

       Yeah, the oth- there's some of these, it's weird 'cause they're the same company, or the same co- they're the same chair, but I think different people made them, and some of them get real low. This one doesn't get very low.

   13. NANarrator0:57

       Yeah, it's called HAG is the name company, I guess, Capisco.

   14. JRJoe Rogan1:00

       Oh, so it's, they've changed like twice?

   15. NANarrator1:02

       And few people sell it.

   16. JRJoe Rogan1:03

       Oh.

   17. NANarrator1:03

       Now.

   18. JRJoe Rogan1:04

       Well, that's the shit.

   19. NANarrator1:04

       That's just how it works.

   20. JRJoe Rogan1:06

       Oh, no one's paying me to say that. They're the shit. What's up, Adrienne?

   21. AIAdrienne Iapalucci1:10

       How you doing?

   22. JRJoe Rogan1:11

       Good to see you.

   23. AIAdrienne Iapalucci1:12

       Should I move this closer?

   24. JRJoe Rogan1:13

       Yeah, right there is good.

   25. AIAdrienne Iapalucci1:14

       All right.

   26. JRJoe Rogan1:14

       You want some coffee?

   27. AIAdrienne Iapalucci1:15

       Um, I just had some coffee.

   28. JRJoe Rogan1:17

       Last night was really fun.

   29. AIAdrienne Iapalucci1:18

       It was really fun.

   30. JRJoe Rogan1:19

       I-
2. 1:20 – 5:53

   Ari Shaffir stories: pranks, dosing Bert, and chaotic boundaries

   1. JRJoe Rogan1:20

      Thank you very much. Um, I'm real excited that we got to meet, a- and I'm really excited that I got to see your standup, you know, 'cause, uh, Ari Shaffir has been singing your praises-

   2. AIAdrienne Iapalucci1:29

      I know.

   3. JRJoe Rogan1:29

      ... for so long.

   4. AIAdrienne Iapalucci1:30

      He's the best. What's funny-

   5. JRJoe Rogan1:31

      He loves you.

   6. AIAdrienne Iapalucci1:32

      I know. When I first met him, I did not like him.

   7. JRJoe Rogan1:35

      (laughs)

   8. AIAdrienne Iapalucci1:36

      Like, I was like, "This guy's a dick."

   9. JRJoe Rogan1:37

      (laughs) He's a little misunderstood.

   10. AIAdrienne Iapalucci1:41

       Well-

   11. JRJoe Rogan1:41

       He, he can be a dick.

   12. AIAdrienne Iapalucci1:43

       Well, yeah, even when you'd text me, I was like, "Is this Ari-"

   13. JRJoe Rogan1:45

       Oh.

   14. AIAdrienne Iapalucci1:45

       "... playing a joke?" 'Cause he's always doing stuff like that to me.

   15. JRJoe Rogan1:49

       Does he really?

   16. AIAdrienne Iapalucci1:49

       Yeah.

   17. JRJoe Rogan1:50

       Well, that's 'cause he loves you.

   18. AIAdrienne Iapalucci1:51

       No, absolutely, but I d- I'm always skeptical if something's in his orbit. I'm like, "Hmm."

   19. JRJoe Rogan1:57

       Right. He is the guy that do- that dosed Bert Kreischer-

   20. AIAdrienne Iapalucci1:59

       Yes.

   21. JRJoe Rogan1:59

       ... at his house.

   22. AIAdrienne Iapalucci2:00

       Yes.

   23. JRJoe Rogan2:01

       Dosed him at his house when he was supposed to be hanging out with his family. He gave him molly.

   24. AIAdrienne Iapalucci2:04

       At least he did it at his house in a safe environment, I guess.

   25. JRJoe Rogan2:08

       (laughs) I think Bert had the fucking time of his life. He just doesn't wanna admit it.

   26. AIAdrienne Iapalucci2:11

       I could see that.

   27. JRJoe Rogan2:12

       I think ultimately it was like a really bad thing that Ari did that, but, uh, there's a, I bet he had a good time. (laughs)

   28. AIAdrienne Iapalucci2:19

       I'm sure. I mean, yeah, I, I think it's probably not great for their friendship, but-

   29. JRJoe Rogan2:23

       It's te- it was terrible for their friendship. The wife was furious at him, and rightly so. Rightly so.

   30. AIAdrienne Iapalucci2:29

       Ari does stuff where, like, you're like, "Hey, that's not cool."
3. 5:53 – 10:48

   Breaking from religion: Catholic school trauma and skepticism

   1. JRJoe Rogan5:53

      And, uh, he was just fun to be around, like he was a fun kid. He was like, you know, I knew after a while what, what was going on, but he was like recently divorced from religion.

   2. AIAdrienne Iapalucci6:06

      Right.

   3. JRJoe Rogan6:07

      So he's, like, super orthodox Jew-

   4. AIAdrienne Iapalucci6:09

      Mm-hmm.

   5. JRJoe Rogan6:09

      ... you know, went to Israel, was studying the Talmud for, like, 12 hours a day, like wild shit. And then he has his real break from it, and then a few years later, he's hanging out with us smoking weed at The Comedy Store. But-

   6. AIAdrienne Iapalucci6:23

      I wonder what he was like.

   7. JRJoe Rogan6:25

      He was great.

   8. AIAdrienne Iapalucci6:25

      No, no, no. Before-

   9. JRJoe Rogan6:26

      Oh.

   10. AIAdrienne Iapalucci6:26

       ... when he was, like, religious.

   11. JRJoe Rogan6:28

       (sighs) What a mind fuck to do to a kid. It's such a mind fuck, because you're- you're- you're saying you absolutely know that this is how everything went down.

   12. AIAdrienne Iapalucci6:39

       Right.

   13. JRJoe Rogan6:39

       And there's no way that can be real. Even if the concepts of Christianity or Judaism, even if they're, like, real, they're real, that's what God really wants, there's no way you know whoever wrote that, like, what they wrote.

   14. AIAdrienne Iapalucci6:53

       Yeah.

   15. JRJoe Rogan6:53

       There's no way. This is human beings.

   16. AIAdrienne Iapalucci6:56

       Yeah, I mean, I went to Catholic school my whole life and I just never believed any of that stuff.

   17. JRJoe Rogan7:00

       I believed in it until I was-

   18. AIAdrienne Iapalucci7:01

       You did?

   19. JRJoe Rogan7:01

       ... six.

   20. AIAdrienne Iapalucci7:02

       Yeah, okay, six. (laughs)

   21. JRJoe Rogan7:02

       In first grade, I had one teacher, Sister Mary Josephine. She was such a cunt.

   22. AIAdrienne Iapalucci7:08

       I bet.

   23. JRJoe Rogan7:08

       She was so mean. She was so mean that I knew as a little boy, like, there's no way this could be connected to God.

   24. AIAdrienne Iapalucci7:16

       No. (laughs) They're so mean.

   25. JRJoe Rogan7:17

       I was like, this is, this is, this is an evil lady who would threaten you. If you didn't do something, you were gonna have to sleep on a nail in the closet, you'd have to stay home-

   26. AIAdrienne Iapalucci7:25

       Ugh.

   27. JRJoe Rogan7:25

       ... you're never gonna get to see your parents again. She would y- yell stuff like that. It was like she was evil. She tortured kids.

   28. AIAdrienne Iapalucci7:31

       Can you imagine that existing today?

   29. JRJoe Rogan7:33

       Oh, my God. It probably does. It probably does in some very unusual religious circumstances, you know? But it's just back then, when I was a kid, that was how they taught you in Catholic school, at least that lady. My sister got a great lady, though. My sister got a great e- a la- a lady in the same school that wasn't a nun. She was just a regular lady who was Catholic, who was teaching in a Catholic school. It didn't have to be nuns or priests.

   30. AIAdrienne Iapalucci7:58

       Right. Well, I was in elementary school. It was, like, some teachers and then there was some nuns and some priests.
4. 10:48 – 13:14

   Cute animals vs. eating them: morality, evolution, and “cuteness” as a trick

   1. JRJoe Rogan10:48

      It really is crazy if you think about, like, your whole life, from the time you were a baby till now. How many animals have you eaten?

   2. AIAdrienne Iapalucci10:55

      Probably a lot.

   3. JRJoe Rogan10:56

      (laughs)

   4. AIAdrienne Iapalucci10:57

      And the thing is, I, like, I don't feel bad eating the ugly animals. Like, chickens are not particularly cute, but, like, cows are so cute.

   5. JRJoe Rogan11:04

      They can be very cute.

   6. AIAdrienne Iapalucci11:05

      So are pigs.

   7. JRJoe Rogan11:06

      Yeah. Pigs can be really cute.

   8. AIAdrienne Iapalucci11:10

      So that's the one thing where you're like, "Oh, I love all these videos on Instagram, but I'm still gonna eat a steak."

   9. JRJoe Rogan11:14

      Isn't it interesting that wild pigs aren't cute at all?

   10. AIAdrienne Iapalucci11:17

       No.

   11. JRJoe Rogan11:18

       They're not even a little cute. They're ferocious looking.

   12. AIAdrienne Iapalucci11:22

       Yeah, so those are the ones that you wanna eat, the ugly ones.

   13. JRJoe Rogan11:25

       Yeah, my agent said the same thing to me.

   14. AIAdrienne Iapalucci11:27

       To eat the ugly ones?

   15. JRJoe Rogan11:28

       Yeah, she was just like, "I don't ma- mind if you hunt, but you should hunt pigs, 'cause they're ugly." (laughs)

   16. AIAdrienne Iapalucci11:33

       Not the babies, the babies are so cute.

   17. JRJoe Rogan11:35

       They are, but, and ya- yeah, even wild pig babies are cute. Isn't that interesting?

   18. AIAdrienne Iapalucci11:40

       Mm-hmm.

   19. JRJoe Rogan11:40

       Like, what's the, like, evolution? It's not like eagles care if something's cute. What, what-

   20. AIAdrienne Iapalucci11:46

       No.

   21. JRJoe Rogan11:46

       It's like a thinking animal that discerns cuteness and doesn't wanna harm cute things.

   22. AIAdrienne Iapalucci11:50

       Sure, like lions don't care about-

   23. JRJoe Rogan11:53

       Yeah.

   24. AIAdrienne Iapalucci11:53

       ... hunting something.

   25. JRJoe Rogan11:54

       But what do you... Is that for us? It must be for us.

   26. AIAdrienne Iapalucci11:57

       It's just for us.

   27. JRJoe Rogan11:57

       'Cause it's the only thing it works on.

   28. AIAdrienne Iapalucci11:59

       Yeah, I think it's just for us.

   29. JRJoe Rogan12:01

       Like, think about a, like, a little wolf puppy. They're so adorable.

   30. AIAdrienne Iapalucci12:04

       So cute.
5. 13:14 – 20:51

   Dogs in public: wolves at dog parks, unleashed attacks, and leash etiquette

   1. JRJoe Rogan13:14

      I was at a dog park once when a guy brought in a wolf.

   2. AIAdrienne Iapalucci13:17

      Are they-

   3. JRJoe Rogan13:17

      And-

   4. AIAdrienne Iapalucci13:18

      ... legal?

   5. JRJoe Rogan13:18

      Yeah, you can have a wolf. You can have, like, a seven-

   6. AIAdrienne Iapalucci13:20

      In a dog park?

   7. JRJoe Rogan13:21

      Yeah. You can have, like, a seven-eighth timber wolf as a pet. Yeah. I had a friend who had a couple of 'em, and one of 'em even got out and killed a bunch of sheep. Like, they're wolves, like real wolves.

   8. AIAdrienne Iapalucci13:33

      Yeah, I don't think you should have them as pets.

   9. JRJoe Rogan13:35

      So I'm at the dog park, and this fucking dude comes in with a wolf. And it was the wildest thing, where every dog was like, "What the fuck? Do you know what that is?"

   10. AIAdrienne Iapalucci13:46

       Did he-

   11. JRJoe Rogan13:46

       Every dog was like, "Oh, Jesus Christ." They all, like, slunk down and moved away from it. It was like he was walking through a tide. Like, the everything, like, the-

   12. AIAdrienne Iapalucci13:56

       Yeah.

   13. JRJoe Rogan13:56

       It pulled back-

   14. AIAdrienne Iapalucci13:58

       That's like their Jesus.

   15. JRJoe Rogan13:58

       ... in his presence. Well, it's... That's their monster.

   16. AIAdrienne Iapalucci14:01

       Yeah.

   17. JRJoe Rogan14:01

       'Cause wolves eat dogs.

   18. AIAdrienne Iapalucci14:02

       Was your dog there?

   19. JRJoe Rogan14:03

       Yes.

   20. AIAdrienne Iapalucci14:04

       Did you take your dog out?

   21. JRJoe Rogan14:05

       Oh, it got the fuck, right the fuck outta there.

   22. AIAdrienne Iapalucci14:07

       Yeah.

   23. JRJoe Rogan14:08

       Yeah.

   24. AIAdrienne Iapalucci14:08

       So I live in the Bronx, and there's always, like, people who have pit bulls and, you know, dogs-

   25. JRJoe Rogan14:12

       Yeah.

   26. AIAdrienne Iapalucci14:12

       And, like, some of them are really nice, and some of them, they just walk off the leash. So this one day, I had a boxer, and this pit bull got loose. I was with my ex-boyfriend at the time. He jumped on a car, and I just picked my dog up. I was ready to get-

   27. JRJoe Rogan14:24

       Oh, Jesus Christ.

   28. AIAdrienne Iapalucci14:25

       I was just getting ready to get...

   29. JRJoe Rogan14:26

       He jumped on the car to get away from the dog?

   30. AIAdrienne Iapalucci14:28

       Yes.
6. 20:51 – 24:33

   Exotic pets and invasive species: alligators in parks, Florida pythons, and Texas tigers

   1. AIAdrienne Iapalucci20:51

      I mean somebody ... I think in Manhattan had like an alligator.

   2. JRJoe Rogan20:54

      Oh, yeah.

   3. AIAdrienne Iapalucci20:54

      Like you get these like little-

   4. JRJoe Rogan20:55

      All the time.

   5. AIAdrienne Iapalucci20:56

      ... animals where they're cute and then it like gets to be humongous and you're like this is a real problem.

   6. JRJoe Rogan21:00

      I think a dude in the Bronx had a tiger.

   7. AIAdrienne Iapalucci21:02

      Sure. I can see that happening.

   8. JRJoe Rogan21:03

      (laughs) In his fucking house. This guy had a tiger at his house. Yeah, people are nuts.

   9. AIAdrienne Iapalucci21:09

      I mean ... Imagine like telling a girl at a club, "You have a baby tiger." Like even if you don't want to fuck this guy you're like, "I do want to see this baby tiger."

   10. JRJoe Rogan21:16

       (laughs) Where was this? This is his alligator found in New York City lake? Oh my god.

   11. NANarrator21:21

       Prospect Park.

   12. AIAdrienne Iapalucci21:22

       In Brooklyn.

   13. JRJoe Rogan21:23

       So what do you think happened there? Do you think that was like a pet?

   14. AIAdrienne Iapalucci21:26

       It was probably a pet and it got too big and somebody was like, "I don't know what to do with this," and he put it in this park, in the water.

   15. JRJoe Rogan21:31

       That's the story of Florida. Florida's an amazing story. Florida's just overrun with pythons. There's a half a million pythons in the Everglades. They say that 99% of all of the mammals are gone.

   16. AIAdrienne Iapalucci21:47

       That's wild.

   17. JRJoe Rogan21:47

       Of everything, raccoons, deer, everything, rabbits. They're all gone. Foxes, pumas, everything, everything.

   18. AIAdrienne Iapalucci21:54

       Maybe that's what you need to be hunting then.

   19. JRJoe Rogan21:56

       Yeah. Well, they are doing that. What's crazy is in California, python skin's illegal.

   20. AIAdrienne Iapalucci22:01

       Is it?

   21. JRJoe Rogan22:01

       So you can't ... (laughs) You can't. It's banned. You can't get python in California. Meanwhile, on the other side of the country, they're overrun with pythons. Like they literally have wiped out all of the native wildlife. They're eating alligators now.

   22. AIAdrienne Iapalucci22:15

       That's crazy.

   23. JRJoe Rogan22:17

       Yeah. (laughs)

   24. AIAdrienne Iapalucci22:19

       Yeah. There we go.

   25. JRJoe Rogan22:19

       Four to 25 pound cu- tiger living in Harlem apartment.

   26. AIAdrienne Iapalucci22:21

       Oh my god!

   27. JRJoe Rogan22:22

       Oh my god! (laughs)

   28. AIAdrienne Iapalucci22:24

       Yeah, that's part of the story.

   29. JRJoe Rogan22:25

       (laughs)

   30. AIAdrienne Iapalucci22:25

       I mean imagine showing up to that and you're like, "I'm out of here."
7. 24:33 – 27:30

   Cults and belonging: from Scientology to Heaven’s Gate and Wild Wild Country

   1. JRJoe Rogan24:33

      You could start a cult.

   2. AIAdrienne Iapalucci24:34

      I would-

   3. JRJoe Rogan24:34

      100%, you could start a cult.

   4. AIAdrienne Iapalucci24:36

      I would do that and then just start a landscaping business, and that would be what I'd tell them my religion is.

   5. JRJoe Rogan24:40

      Mm.

   6. AIAdrienne Iapalucci24:41

      Just cleaning people's yards and stuff.

   7. JRJoe Rogan24:43

      Oh, my God. It's such a weird thing, cults, 'cause there's... It, uh, seems to be, like, a natural pattern of behavior that people have, where they're willing to believe fucking total nonsense as long as everybody in the group believes total nonsense.

   8. AIAdrienne Iapalucci25:01

      Sure. And it's also wanting to, like, belong to something.

   9. JRJoe Rogan25:03

      Yep. Yeah.

   10. AIAdrienne Iapalucci25:04

       You know? Especially if you feel like an outcast.

   11. JRJoe Rogan25:06

       Yeah. And there's some that are good at it. Like, Scientology's good at it.

   12. AIAdrienne Iapalucci25:11

       I think at the root of every cult, there is a guy that wants to fuck everyone.

   13. JRJoe Rogan25:15

       (laughs)

   14. AIAdrienne Iapalucci25:15

       So, like, that's-

   15. JRJoe Rogan25:16

       Generally.

   16. AIAdrienne Iapalucci25:17

       Generally. Most of those cults start out where, like, "You have to fuck me, and that's how you get, like, to this higher level," or...

   17. JRJoe Rogan25:23

       Or the Heaven's Gate guy. "You have to cut your balls off." Remember that guy?

   18. AIAdrienne Iapalucci25:27

       I do, but I don't remember cutting their balls off.

   19. JRJoe Rogan25:28

       Everybody had to castrate themselves.

   20. AIAdrienne Iapalucci25:30

       Was he castrated also?

   21. JRJoe Rogan25:31

       I think he was. He might've done it to himself and got people to do it. It was, um, it was a weird one. They all wore the same Nikes-

   22. AIAdrienne Iapalucci25:41

       Yes, okay.

   23. JRJoe Rogan25:41

       ... and they all killed themselves 'cause, like, they thought that the spaceship was coming to take them there to kill themselves. (laughs)

   24. AIAdrienne Iapalucci25:45

       What's crazy is I watched a documentary and I was bored by it.

   25. JRJoe Rogan25:48

       It's that dude. Well, it, it was... It's weird, right? Because it's like it's so dumb, you're like, "Who's buying into this?" But even something that dumb, there's someone out there-

   26. AIAdrienne Iapalucci25:59

       The black Nikes. (laughs)

   27. JRJoe Rogan25:59

       ... that's like, "Ooh, fucking Nikes." Ugh. It's a weird one. Click on that, how it really happened. It's such a strange story, 'cause, like, I don't know what the guy's origin was. Like, how he got all these people. It's not playing?

   28. AIAdrienne Iapalucci26:20

       I just remember watching it and being very bored by it. I b- I was bored by this guy that started a cult and got everyone to kill themselves. (laughs)

   29. JRJoe Rogan26:26

       I loved Wild, Wild Country. Did you see that one?

   30. AIAdrienne Iapalucci26:28

       Yes. Were the... Is that the one where they're going through a drive-through?
8. 27:30 – 31:27

   Hunter Biden, crack vs. cocaine, and the drug war’s perverse incentives

   1. GUGuest27:30

      Did you hear about the Sanctum Cult stuff today with Hunter Biden?

   2. JRJoe Rogan27:33

      What is that?

   3. GUGuest27:34

      Uh, so this-

   4. AIAdrienne Iapalucci27:35

      I'm obsessed with Hunter Biden.

   5. GUGuest27:36

      The story, yeah, the story I saw was that the leader of this LA sex club that cost $75,000 a year was kicked out of the club because he shared that Hunter Biden was once a member, and all he shared was, like, an, a social media post that said, "I kicked him out 'cause he was weird," but then they kicked him out of the club 'cause, like, "You're not allowed to talk about the club." It's like Fight Club.

   6. JRJoe Rogan27:55

      Oh, Fight Club. Mm.

   7. GUGuest27:57

      And-

   8. JRJoe Rogan27:58

      I fucked up. I had a chance to get Hunter Biden on, on the podcast in the very beginning.

   9. AIAdrienne Iapalucci28:03

      I think you can.

   10. JRJoe Rogan28:03

       I can't. We've been trying.

   11. AIAdrienne Iapalucci28:03

       Wait for him to get back on crack.

   12. JRJoe Rogan28:06

       I can get him back on crack.

   13. AIAdrienne Iapalucci28:07

       Do it. That's when you get him back.

   14. JRJoe Rogan28:08

       Yeah, I'll try it for the first time. (laughs)

   15. AIAdrienne Iapalucci28:10

       Well, I hit my friend did crack, and he's-

   16. JRJoe Rogan28:13

       Smells Salty.

   17. AIAdrienne Iapalucci28:13

       ... like, "It's amazing."

   18. JRJoe Rogan28:14

       (coughs) Well, it's cocaine. It's freebasing cocaine. Dr. Carl Hart, um, who's a, is a brilliant guy who's, uh, a legitimate academic but also is a drug user.

   19. AIAdrienne Iapalucci28:25

       Mm-hmm.

   20. JRJoe Rogan28:25

       And he's like, "There's no difference. It's, it's... Pharmacologically, it's the same drug." You're, you're freebasing.

   21. AIAdrienne Iapalucci28:31

       I could see that.

   22. JRJoe Rogan28:31

       Yeah. And it's like the, the real thing that's different is the policy, 'cause the pol- It's the most racist policy in the history of the drug war.

   23. AIAdrienne Iapalucci28:38

       Oh, absolutely.

   24. JRJoe Rogan28:38

       They're like, "If you get busted with cocaine, it's one, one thing."

   25. AIAdrienne Iapalucci28:42

       Mm-hmm.

   26. JRJoe Rogan28:42

       But if, if you get busted with crack, you get a crazy sentence.

   27. AIAdrienne Iapalucci28:46

       Yes.

   28. JRJoe Rogan28:47

       Like, way, way, way more.

   29. AIAdrienne Iapalucci28:48

       It's just racist.

   30. JRJoe Rogan28:49

       Well, it's not just racist. It's like when you really go into, like, the origins of... Do you, uh, were you aware of the Freeway Rick Ross story?
9. 31:27 – 34:31

   Benzos, anxiety, and why withdrawals can be deadly

   1. AIAdrienne Iapalucci31:27

      I tried to get a prescription for Xanax, and my doctor looked at me where he was just like, "I'm not giving it to you." And I was like, "Are you serious?" (laughs)

   2. JRJoe Rogan31:33

      Oh my God, really?

   3. AIAdrienne Iapalucci31:34

      Yeah, 'cause I wanted to fly. He's like, "I'm not doing it." He's like, "They're really cracking down right now, so you can't have any."

   4. JRJoe Rogan31:39

      Well, the thing about benzodiazepine is it's very difficult to kick, very difficult. Physiologically.

   5. AIAdrienne Iapalucci31:47

      Yeah.

   6. JRJoe Rogan31:47

      It's one of the only drugs, like alcohol, that'll kill you if you just go cold turkey sometimes.

   7. AIAdrienne Iapalucci31:52

      Yeah.

   8. JRJoe Rogan31:52

      Some people just get wrecked by that stuff. Jordan Peterson got wrecked, like physically wrecked for, like, over a year. It took him so long just to build his health back up.

   9. AIAdrienne Iapalucci32:03

      Well, my friend that was doing crack was also doing Xanax.

   10. JRJoe Rogan32:07

       Oh.

   11. AIAdrienne Iapalucci32:07

       So, and he was like ... His doctor just made him go cr- I guess cold turkey, but he had been doing-

   12. JRJoe Rogan32:12

       (gasps)

   13. AIAdrienne Iapalucci32:13

       ... so much that when he stopped, he went ballistic.

   14. JRJoe Rogan32:15

       Oh my God.

   15. AIAdrienne Iapalucci32:16

       Yeah.

   16. JRJoe Rogan32:17

       That's supposed to be horrible. It's supposed to be-

   17. AIAdrienne Iapalucci32:18

       It is horrible.

   18. JRJoe Rogan32:18

       ... horrible, horrible with- withdrawals, especially when people go crazy and they're eating it all day long.

   19. AIAdrienne Iapalucci32:23

       Oh, yeah. He was taking it all day.

   20. JRJoe Rogan32:25

       (exhales deeply)

   21. AIAdrienne Iapalucci32:26

       That was rough for him. That's when he started doing, uh, crack with prostitutes.

   22. JRJoe Rogan32:29

       I had a buddy that was a comic and was, like, just having anxiety attacks. He just couldn't fucking control it and started taking Xanax, and it all went away. And, and then, and then all of a sudden he was fun again. It was weird. It was like-

   23. AIAdrienne Iapalucci32:42

       Anxiety is terrible.

   24. JRJoe Rogan32:43

       It's terrible. And I know it wor- Uh, b- his health deteriorated after, but he was drinking while he was doing it, which you're not supposed to do, which a lot of people do do. (laughs)

   25. AIAdrienne Iapalucci32:53

       Sure.

   26. JRJoe Rogan32:53

       This lady said this to me on an airplane. She, uh, she had a glass of wine. She goes, "A glass of wine and a Xanax, and I don't give a fuck about the world." (laughs)

   27. AIAdrienne Iapalucci33:03

       Yeah. I've taken Xanax if I ... I went to Australia and I took it and I slept most of the flight.

   28. JRJoe Rogan33:09

       Yeah.

   29. AIAdrienne Iapalucci33:09

       It just knocks you out.

   30. JRJoe Rogan33:10

       Yeah, I'm, I would imagine. It's a good move for a 16-hour flight. But is the comedown bad?
10. 34:31 – 45:28

    Edibles gone wrong: paranoia, dosage uncertainty, and the case for regulation

    1. AIAdrienne Iapalucci34:31

       I'm scared to do any of those drugs.

    2. JRJoe Rogan34:32

       ... micro-dosing. Scared? Why?

    3. AIAdrienne Iapalucci34:34

       I don't know. I reacted so badly. When I was ... I did an edible when I was at, uh, Moon Tower, like, last year.

    4. JRJoe Rogan34:41

       Mm.

    5. AIAdrienne Iapalucci34:42

       And that ... And I'd never done it before and it was, like, the worst experience.

    6. JRJoe Rogan34:45

       How m- How many milligrams?

    7. AIAdrienne Iapalucci34:47

       Um, I don't remember. It was, like, in a bag that they gave you.

    8. JRJoe Rogan34:50

       Oh, God.

    9. AIAdrienne Iapalucci34:50

       And my friend was like, "This is ..." She was like ... No, it was, like, from a company though. She was like, "This is very weak."

    10. JRJoe Rogan34:55

        Oh, a company. (laughs)

    11. AIAdrienne Iapalucci34:55

        I know, but it wasn't just, like, some guy off the street handed it to me. So I was like, "Oh, this seems legitimate." And I took it and I remember going to sleep and waking up to hearing the ocean.

    12. JRJoe Rogan35:03

        (laughs)

    13. AIAdrienne Iapalucci35:04

        I mean, it was so wild. I thought I was in that movie with Russell Crowe. What's that movie where he's like p- He thinks he's in the CIA but he's just bipolar or schizophrenic?

    14. JRJoe Rogan35:13

        Oh, yeah.

    15. AIAdrienne Iapalucci35:14

        So the whole time I thought I was, like, that situation. I mean, my f- I go n- It's not good for me. Like, my friend came over and I was like ... I used the same logic he used where he realized those people never aged, where I was like, "Okay, well, you're s- you're the same now." Like, I ... It was so crazy. I can't do, I can't do drugs.

    16. JRJoe Rogan35:31

        Those people never aged?

    17. AIAdrienne Iapalucci35:33

        In that movie, he's like ... I guess he sees, like, a little girl and he has this roommate. The, the Russell Crowe movie.

    18. JRJoe Rogan35:38

        Oh, the Russell Crowe movie.

    19. AIAdrienne Iapalucci35:38

        Yeah, so, but he realizes, like-

    20. JRJoe Rogan35:40

        I don't remember the movie.

    21. AIAdrienne Iapalucci35:40

        ... they're not real because 10 years later they're still the same age.

    22. JRJoe Rogan35:44

        Oh.

    23. AIAdrienne Iapalucci35:44

        And I used that logic to think that, like, my friend. I was like, "Well, you're still exactly the same." Like, it was just ... I went there. It was so crazy.

    24. JRJoe Rogan35:52

        Whoa.

    25. AIAdrienne Iapalucci35:53

        That's why I was like, "I'm not good on drugs."

    26. JRJoe Rogan35:55

        Well, that's a big dose, it sounds like. I think someone ... The problem with those edibles, I used to have a bit about it, is they're, they're not consistent. They're not made-

    27. AIAdrienne Iapalucci36:02

        No, they're not.

    28. JRJoe Rogan36:02

        ... in the same place they make Tylenol. You know, that just-

    29. AIAdrienne Iapalucci36:04

        They should.

    30. JRJoe Rogan36:05

        Yeah, they should. It should be legal. They should all be legal so we'd know exactly what the fuck you're taking. I mean, how many people have to die of fentanyl before they realize, like ... We have to figure out ... Like, if there's a demand for these drugs, if people want these drugs, maybe it's education, maybe it's counseling, maybe it's drug rehabilitation centers that we need to open everywhere, and then there's a business in that. But you should be allowing people to have-... access to the actual drug, not coke that you're getting on the street that's cut with fentanyl that's gonna kill people.
11. 45:28 – 52:44

    Gambling addiction and childhood memories: OTB, Uncut Gems, and the cost of chasing losses

    1. AIAdrienne Iapalucci45:28

       But even something like gambling that's legal can still ruin your life.

    2. JRJoe Rogan45:31

       Fuck yeah, it can. Yeah.

    3. AIAdrienne Iapalucci45:33

       And like-

    4. JRJoe Rogan45:33

       And I support it.

    5. AIAdrienne Iapalucci45:34

       Yeah, my dad was a gambler.

    6. JRJoe Rogan45:36

       Gamble it up. Let's go.

    7. AIAdrienne Iapalucci45:36

       We had nothing. (laughs)

    8. JRJoe Rogan45:37

       (laughs)

    9. AIAdrienne Iapalucci45:39

       He used to gamble with our lives pretty regularly.

    10. JRJoe Rogan45:42

        God, isn't that crazy? When, uh, I sta- first started playing pool, that's when I first started being around gamblers. I did- I had never been around gamblers as a child, and so I- I never knew, like, what that addiction is like, to watch it play out.

    11. AIAdrienne Iapalucci45:55

        Oh, yeah.

    12. JRJoe Rogan45:56

        It's crazy.

    13. AIAdrienne Iapalucci45:57

        My dad was, like, just emotionally unavailable.

    14. JRJoe Rogan46:00

        (Exhales) Just always wanted to gamble?

    15. AIAdrienne Iapalucci46:02

        Always wanted to gamble. We used to go to the OTB as kids.

    16. JRJoe Rogan46:04

        Oh, my-

    17. AIAdrienne Iapalucci46:04

        Like, the la- We went there so often, the lady behind the thing had my school picture up.

    18. JRJoe Rogan46:08

        Oh my God.

    19. AIAdrienne Iapalucci46:08

        That's how often we went there. Yeah.

    20. JRJoe Rogan46:10

        Oh my God.

    21. AIAdrienne Iapalucci46:12

        Yeah, he was a bad gambler. But he also didn't make a lot of money, which is crazy.

    22. JRJoe Rogan46:16

        Oh.

    23. AIAdrienne Iapalucci46:16

        Right? It's like, you can't be a mailman and a gambler.

    24. JRJoe Rogan46:20

        It- it gets anybody. Any-

    25. AIAdrienne Iapalucci46:22

        No, I know.

    26. JRJoe Rogan46:22

        It can get anybody. Did you see, uh, Uncut Gems?

    27. AIAdrienne Iapalucci46:26

        No.

    28. JRJoe Rogan46:27

        It's fucking amazing.

    29. AIAdrienne Iapalucci46:29

        Is it?

    30. JRJoe Rogan46:29

        Yeah, it's Adam Sandler plays a gambling addict.
12. 52:44 – 1:11:14

    New York comedy boot camp: barking, pay-to-mic, and working for a five-minute set

    1. AIAdrienne Iapalucci52:44

       I remember when I first started doing standup, I would bark for stage time, which is basically like, "Hey, do you wanna come to a comedy show?" And, like, I was so bad at it 'cause people would just be like, "No," and I'd be like, "All right." (laughs)

    2. JRJoe Rogan52:55

       (laughs)

    3. AIAdrienne Iapalucci52:55

       I'm like, "I get it." This is so d- ... I would, I mean, I felt so dumb doing it.

    4. JRJoe Rogan52:58

       Did you develop strategies on, like, how to talk to people?

    5. AIAdrienne Iapalucci53:00

       No.

    6. JRJoe Rogan53:01

       No. (laughs)

    7. AIAdrienne Iapalucci53:02

       I just hated it. I, like ... It's weird to just be on the street as a salesman, being like, "Hey, come to this show," and ...

    8. JRJoe Rogan53:08

       I think that's only a New York City thing.

    9. AIAdrienne Iapalucci53:10

       It might be.

    10. JRJoe Rogan53:11

        Have you seen it before?

    11. GUGuest53:12

        Mm-hmm.

    12. JRJoe Rogan53:12

        Where?

    13. GUGuest53:12

        I've seen it here on 6th Street and-

    14. JRJoe Rogan53:14

        Oh, in Austin?

    15. GUGuest53:15

        ... for other things too they're doing.

    16. JRJoe Rogan53:16

        For standup shows?

    17. GUGuest53:17

        For standup, yes, and I've seen it for other shows here too.

    18. JRJoe Rogan53:19

        No shit.

    19. GUGuest53:20

        For other shows in, like-

    20. JRJoe Rogan53:20

        I wonder if they got it from New York. I wond- I wonder.

    21. AIAdrienne Iapalucci53:24

        Hmm.

    22. GUGuest53:25

        I don't know. I haven't paid attention for maybe a day or few days, but-

    23. JRJoe Rogan53:26

        I mean, I, I'd always heard of it primarily as a New York thing. I knew a lot of New York guys who used to do that in the early days.

    24. AIAdrienne Iapalucci53:32

        Yeah, and especially in Manhattan, everyone's walking so you can-

    25. JRJoe Rogan53:35

        Yeah.

    26. AIAdrienne Iapalucci53:35

        ... just catch people like that.

    27. JRJoe Rogan53:36

        Yeah.

    28. AIAdrienne Iapalucci53:38

        But I was not good at it at all.

    29. JRJoe Rogan53:40

        Manhattan's an interesting place for comedy, you know, 'cause there's so many clubs.

    30. AIAdrienne Iapalucci53:44

        So many clubs. Even so many, like, good bar shows and, like, lounges, so you can-
