    (drum roll) Joe Rogan podcast,…

    1. TD

      (drum roll) Joe Rogan podcast, check it out.

      The Joe Rogan Experience. (drum roll) Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day. (instrumental music)

    3. JR

      Hey, Tim.

    4. TD

      Joe Rogan, thank you for having me.

    5. JR

      What's up, my brother? Always good to see you.

    6. TD

      Good to be here.

    7. JR

      You escaped from LA before the massive strike.

    8. TD

      Yeah, well there was a... I- I think it didn't affect flights as much as I thought, but it was a 11,000 city workers decided to strike, and a lot of those are air- but air traffic controllers are federal.

    9. JR

      Ah.

    10. TD

      But the baggage claim's all screwed up. They canceled a bunch of stuff.

    11. JR

      (sighs)

    12. TD

      I don't know. It's 11,000 city workers. I don't know what their, what, you know. It's- I think it's a- a bunch of different groups of them that want stuff.

    13. JR

      Yeah, is there, like, specific demands? Like, is it pay increase, health care?

    14. TD

      Maybe they want to stop getting killed by the homeless. (laughs)

    15. JR

      (laughs)

    16. TD

      Maybe it's very reasonable. Maybe it has nothing to do with money, and they're like, "We just want to stop being, like, people flinging their excrement at us while we're cleaning the park."

    17. JR

      Could be.

    18. TD

      Yeah. I don't know what it is. I don't know what the demands are.

    19. JR

      You know-

    20. TD

      Maybe they're scared they're gonna be replaced by AI, like the actors and writers.

    21. JR

      They might, they might be.

    22. TD

      Who knows?

    23. JR

      You know what the sketchiest thing that I saw about the whole actor-writer thing was that for background players when people work on a film, they wanted access to their image forever.

    24. TD

      Right.

    25. JR

      So, they would take you and make a digital version of you.

    26. TD

      Yeah.

    27. JR

      So, if you're, like, a background guy, instead of paying background people to hang around in some crowd scene-

    28. TD

      Right.

    29. JR

      ... they will now just fill it in with you. So, the same background people, which is, like, one of the nuttiest fucking, like, fringe theories of any catastrophe, is that you have these, these actors.

    30. TD

      Right.

  2. 15:0030:00

    Well, the crazy thing…

    1. TD

      to me. And then that doesn't happen and everyone goes, "Duh."

    2. JR

      Well, the crazy thing is that it's been adopted wholesale by the left-

    3. TD

      Yes.

    4. JR

      ... the people that are always the most skeptical about war.

    5. TD

      Well, were, but I mean if you look at a lot of wars I guess in history, a lot of them have been started by Democrats. It seems like the party in power likes war. Seems like if you're the party in power in this country, you do like a war. Um, with the exception of Trump, and I know people get mad when I say this, but Trump wasn't in a ton of wars. I mean, he did do some drone strikes, he did things, but, you know, the party in power seems-

    6. JR

      He died like a dog. (laughs)

    7. TD

      Right. (laughs) Right. The party in power, they seem to like war. And I get it.

    8. JR

      Always.

    9. TD

      I would too. I would too, because it gives you something to, to talk about and do.

    10. JR

      Well, Trump was, uh, the first guy that I ever saw who was a sitting president who openly admitted that the military-industrial complex wants you to go to war.

    11. TD

      Yeah.

    12. JR

      Like when Eisenhower was resigning, he said it, but Trump actually said that.

    13. TD

      He said it.

    14. JR

      In an interview. I think it was with Steve Hilton on Fox.

    15. TD

      Yeah.

    16. JR

      Which is just a wild thing to hear, that they might be influenced-

    17. TD

      Yeah.

    18. JR

      ... to be more inclined to get in, not, not wars when they're necessary, but-

    19. TD

      Yeah.

    20. JR

      ... like wars that they can justify-

    21. TD

      Yeah.

    22. JR

      ... for financial reasons.

    23. TD

      And listen, we should treat the people that serve in the military with the respect of being honest with them about what their mission is, right? And why they're somewhere.

    24. JR

      Yeah.

    25. TD

      If you're gonna make the ultimate sacrifice for America, you're gonna be... Make that sacrifice. You're gonna put yourself in harm's way. You might die. You have a family and kids. They're not getting paid millions of dollars. We're not making them famous. They're not... You know what I mean? Like-

    26. JR

      Yeah.

    27. TD

      ... the, you know, we should treat them with the respect of, like, the things they do should be vital and necessary for our security. They shouldn't just be out there making people money.

    28. JR

      Right. Exactly.

    29. TD

      Which is why when I run to governor-

    30. JR

      (laughs)

  3. 30:0045:00

    (laughs) …

    1. TD

      and it ain't easy. It's fun to be on that TV show that she had, but then you have to do it every night. A- They're icing their joints.

    2. JR

      (laughs)

    3. TD

      A-... You know, it's hard. They're in the trailer.

    4. JR

      Ugh.

    5. TD

      It's fucking tough. Lizzo had to start getting on some of them going like, "You gotta tone it down. You know, it's becoming a problem, you know? The weight is becoming a problem." And then, then Lizzo's response was she's like, "I would never fire any of them because of their weight." It's like, what a weird statement. They're dancers. How fat can they get?

    6. JR

      (laughs)

    7. TD

      ... how fucking big can they get? If I wanted to be a dancer for Taylor Swift, and she came up to me and went, "You're too fat to do this," I'd go, "That makes sense."

    8. JR

      (laughs)

    9. TD

      And I'd leave with some dignity. But these women, Lizzo has them on stage, she has them dancing, and then all of a sudden, you know, she's abusing or making them do weird shit. And they all are now suing her, and her streaming has slowed down big time. The ads-

    10. JR

      Oh.

    11. TD

      You know how it is.

    12. JR

      Yeah.

    13. TD

      It's a big, uh, cancellation.

    14. JR

      So, did she... Th- so, this show, were these girls dancers before they got on her show?

    15. TD

      No, because you-

    16. JR

      Or was it just girls?

    17. TD

      ... can't be a dancer at a certain-

    18. JR

      Right.

    19. TD

      Let's just be very honest here. They're not at the, at the ballet. You know how the-

    20. JR

      Of course.

    21. TD

      ... ballerinas are on their tippy-toes?

    22. JR

      Yes.

    23. TD

      That's not happening. These women, it's f- a fetish, dancing.

    24. JR

      Yes.

    25. TD

      It's a, these are larger women, okay? And I don't mean, like, "Ooh, I had a cheesecake." I mean, like, these are big, big, big ladies, and they're dancing because Lizzo's whole thing, Lizzo's like, "I'm not getting enough attention just being the fatty up front. I want everyone on stage to be fat-"

    26. JR

      Mm-hmm.

    27. TD

      "... so I can get more praise."

    28. JR

      Right.

    29. TD

      'Cause the media will be like, "Not only is she fat, everyone's fat. The whole stage looks like shit. How good of a person is she?"

    30. JR

      Uh.

  4. 45:001:00:00

    That's right. …

    1. JR

      adults are with your children more than you are during the day.

    2. TD

      That's right.

    3. JR

      They're there for hours and hours-

    4. TD

      Yeah.

    5. JR

      ... with the undivided attention of your kids.

    6. TD

      That's right.

    7. JR

      And some of 'em are fucking loons.

    8. TD

      Some of them are nuts.

    9. JR

      And some of them think that they have a job to do, to like remove the programming of the parents that they-

    10. TD

      Right.

    11. JR

      ... don't agree with.

    12. TD

      Right.

    13. JR

      So they w- could not agree with the parents and tell the kids that the parents are wrong and they're right. Like-

    14. TD

      Right.

    15. JR

      Which is a real creepy thing because-

    16. TD

      Yes.

    17. JR

      ... I don't know who's right and who's wrong, which is... This is a made-up scenario, right? But just that someone would decide that they are right and the parents are wrong, and they wanna convince this child of something, whether it's, uh, they have political leanings-

    18. TD

      Yeah.

    19. JR

      ... or whether it's their, their attitude on whatever the fuck it is.

    20. TD

      Whatever it is, yeah.

    21. JR

      Whatever it is. That someone would get into your kid's head-

    22. TD

      Yeah.

    23. JR

      ... and have some very questionable and debatable ideas that they're trying to push as doctrine.

    24. TD

      Yeah.

    25. JR

      And that does happen. I've had some shitty fucking teachers that will just tell you, you know, tell you that they are right about certain things.

    26. TD

      Yes. I used to do cocaine with the substitutes at my school, and those were... That was kinda the level of teacher we had. But we had some great teachers, and then we had some teachers that were not great, right?

    27. JR

      Yeah.

    28. TD

      There, you know, we all know those teachers, right? We all know those teachers who had a kind of an agenda. Like-

    29. JR

      Yeah.

    30. TD

      ... they went in, and they were like... They were teachers 'cause nobody would listen to them.

  5. 1:00:001:13:23

    Always a winner. …

    1. TD

      shopping all day.

    2. JR

      Always a winner.

    3. TD

      She went to the grocery store.

    4. JR

      Yeah. In the past, she was a winner.

    5. TD

      (laughs) Yeah, sh- you're right.

    6. JR

      I did my winning-

    7. TD

      Yes, she, right. (laughs)

    8. JR

      ... in another life.

    9. TD

      Yeah. She was like, "I was Napoleon." You know, and-

    10. JR

      Imagine bragging about a past life. (laughs)

    11. TD

      Well, that's what she would do. She would get hap- so, it always turned me off to it 'cause I was like-

    12. JR

      (burps)

    13. TD

      ... "Oh, this bitch seemed like-"

    14. JR

      Yeah.

    15. TD

      And then Shirley MacLaine would have some workshop where all these crazy bitches would go in, that, of course, had nothing to do during the day-

    16. JR

      Yeah.

    17. TD

      ... and they would sit there, and then Shirley MacLaine would be like, "And you were a, you know, you were the Queen of England."

    18. JR

      (laughs)

    19. TD

      (laughs) And, "You were Napoleon, and you were a soldier who tried to kill Hitler. You kept trying to kill him, but you didn't get..." And it was this weird shit that, like, Shirley MacLaine would tell all these people that, like, they were, like, I don't know, like-

    20. JR

      Yeah. It's just huckster stuff. It's-

    21. TD

      ... important. It feels-

    22. JR

      It's tough- yeah.

    23. TD

      A lot of it feels like that.

    24. JR

      Yeah, it's, um, tent church hustlers.

    25. TD

      They sell crystals by Malibu.

    26. JR

      Yeah. Mm-hmm.

    27. TD

      You know, like, you drive down the PCH, there's, like, a crystal truck on the side of the road.

    28. JR

      Yeah.

    29. TD

      What is that?

    30. JR

      What is that?
