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

   4. LGLuis J. Gomez0:12

      Are we on? Are we just on?

   5. JRJoe Rogan0:13

      Are we on?

   6. NANarrator0:15

      Yeah.

   7. LGLuis J. Gomez0:15

      Sweet. All right. I didn't know if we were talking on the podcast or just being dudes. (laughs)

   8. JRJoe Rogan0:19

      Yeah. (laughs) That's the beautiful thing about podcasts ...

   9. LGLuis J. Gomez0:21

      It really is, yeah.

   10. JRJoe Rogan0:22

       ... is kind of just hanging.

   11. LGLuis J. Gomez0:23

       Yeah. Um, but yeah, I- I- I smoked weed since I was like 17, um, and it was illegal. And you just-

   12. JRJoe Rogan0:31

       Yeah.

   13. LGLuis J. Gomez0:31

       All these like formative years spending my life being afraid that a cop was going to come and arrest me. And I've been arrested for smoking weed like 10 times in New York City.

   14. JRJoe Rogan0:40

       Wow.

   15. LGLuis J. Gomez0:41

       Because I'm an idiot and I just, you know-

   16. JRJoe Rogan0:42

       Right.

   17. LGLuis J. Gomez0:43

       Uh, and it's just a game of numbers. I would just- we would roll a blunt in the park, you smoke it, and every time for some reason the cop would always take me. All my friends they'd be like, "You know, we gotta take one of you." And it was always- and I'm the only brown kid in the group.

   18. JRJoe Rogan0:53

       Oh.

   19. LGLuis J. Gomez0:53

       So every single time they were like, "We're gonna take you."

   20. JRJoe Rogan0:56

       Oh.

   21. LGLuis J. Gomez0:56

       And then they'd take you to central bookings for a day.

   22. JRJoe Rogan0:59

       Oh.

   23. LGLuis J. Gomez0:59

       And, uh-

   24. JRJoe Rogan0:59

       They would literally say, "I have to take one of you?"

   25. LGLuis J. Gomez1:00

       Yeah.

   26. JRJoe Rogan1:01

       Oh my God.

   27. LGLuis J. Gomez1:02

       Yeah.

   28. JRJoe Rogan1:02

       And none of your friends go, "Hey, you got Louis the last three times. I'm not gonna get in there."

   29. LGLuis J. Gomez1:05

       Not once.

   30. JRJoe Rogan1:06

       (laughs)
2. 15:00 – 30:00

   No way. Totally different…

   1. LGLuis J. Gomez15:00

      you. Edibles are-

   2. JRJoe Rogan15:01

      No way. Totally different though, you know. It's a totally different drug.

   3. LGLuis J. Gomez15:03

      What do you mean?

   4. JRJoe Rogan15:04

      It's a totally different drug.

   5. LGLuis J. Gomez15:05

      Like your body metabolizes it differently?

   6. JRJoe Rogan15:07

      Yeah, it becomes, um, 5-hydro... 11-hydroxy metabolite, right? That's what it is. It's, uh, it's processed by your liver and it's just a way more potent psychoactive.

   7. LGLuis J. Gomez15:16

      Oh, and that's probably not good for your liver.

   8. JRJoe Rogan15:18

      I don't know. I don't think it's bad for your liver. I, I think especially if you're not, like, fucking blasting it every day. I've never heard that it's toxic.

   9. LGLuis J. Gomez15:25

      There's got... There's... It can't all be good. Weed can't just be the perfect drug.

   10. JRJoe Rogan15:30

       (laughs) It's kind of close.

   11. LGLuis J. Gomez15:30

       There's gotta be something negative, right?

   12. JRJoe Rogan15:32

       I think it's negative for some people.

   13. LGLuis J. Gomez15:33

       Anything in life that's good, you almost have to like pay for it in a way, right?

   14. JRJoe Rogan15:37

       Yeah.

   15. LGLuis J. Gomez15:37

       So that's... I'm just trying to find the angle on why I should stop smoking weed because I, I still haven't heard of anybody getting lung cancer. I'm not hearing about any negative effects. Everyone's just cool and high and it's cheap now.

   16. JRJoe Rogan15:50

       Yeah, um, I haven't heard any good arguments.

   17. LGLuis J. Gomez15:53

       Yeah.

   18. JRJoe Rogan15:53

       But for some people, they don't pro-... They're not productive when they're on it. They can't get anything done. They just want to veg out all day.

   19. LGLuis J. Gomez16:01

       Yeah.

   20. JRJoe Rogan16:01

       But I think it helps everybody.

   21. LGLuis J. Gomez16:02

       CBD.

   22. JRJoe Rogan16:03

       CBD may be harmful to your liver, but probably won't affect your kidneys or your heart. CBD may raise level, levels of liver enzymes. This could indicate liver damage. In most cases, this happens with very high doses of CBD when it's taken with certain medications or, or when it's taken with certain medications.

   23. LGLuis J. Gomez16:22

       This is all, like... This shit-

   24. JRJoe Rogan16:24

       That's crazy. I wonder what, how much CBD fucks you up?

   25. LGLuis J. Gomez16:26

       The problem with medical shit like this is you never really know. They have to give you like the whole spectrum and they're like, "Oh no, this could happen just so you know."

   26. JRJoe Rogan16:34

       Right.

   27. LGLuis J. Gomez16:34

       But I feel like-

   28. JRJoe Rogan16:36

       And it could be the anti-CBD lobbies-

   29. LGLuis J. Gomez16:38

       Who knows?

   30. JRJoe Rogan16:39

       ... doing propaganda.
3. 30:00 – 45:00

   (laughs) …

   1. LGLuis J. Gomez30:00

      I tweeted out a joke the other day, just a dumb joke about Amber Heard. I don't, I, I don't have a dog in the race. I don't give a shit about Amber Heard, Johnny Depp, that whole thing. Like, to, from my perspective, it looked like two crazy people abusing each other, right?

   2. JRJoe Rogan30:10

      (laughs)

   3. LGLuis J. Gomez30:10

      It's kinda hot, right?

   4. JRJoe Rogan30:11

      (laughs)

   5. LGLuis J. Gomez30:11

      But l- who gives a... So the whole joke is that Amber Heard is so hot that I would let her shit in my bed, I would let her shit on my couch, on the kitchen counter.

   6. JRJoe Rogan30:18

      (laughs)

   7. LGLuis J. Gomez30:18

      I, I, you know.

   8. JRJoe Rogan30:19

      Right.

   9. LGLuis J. Gomez30:19

      Dumb joke. Very mild. Dude, all of these fucking chicks that are Amber Heard supporters are coming-

   10. JRJoe Rogan30:25

       (laughs)

   11. LGLuis J. Gomez30:25

       ... after me on Twitter, from still, to this day, three days later, nonstop, just coming. Like, "You don't know Amber Heard! She was abused." You're... And I'm like, "This is fucking psychotic, dude." Like, it is, th- then they're digging up my old tweets. They're, like, looking up any time I've said anything questionable and they're reposting it. I'm like, "Idiot, I posted that. It's public."

   12. JRJoe Rogan30:42

       (laughs) ... are these real people, you think?

   13. LGLuis J. Gomez30:45

       I don't know.

   14. JRJoe Rogan30:46

       Or d- or is this, like, a media campaign company?

   15. LGLuis J. Gomez30:49

       I think it might be a media campaign company because they all have, like, a hashtag Stand With Amber in their name.

   16. JRJoe Rogan30:55

       Yeah.

   17. LGLuis J. Gomez30:55

       I didn't even post her name in it, I just posted the joke.

   18. JRJoe Rogan30:57

       But I'm not accusing her of this, but, you know, that is absolutely a real thing.

   19. LGLuis J. Gomez31:02

       Yeah.

   20. JRJoe Rogan31:03

       That is absolutely a real thing. There's a way that you can just, uh, like, defend a person or attack a person with bots.

   21. LGLuis J. Gomez31:12

       I think, yeah.

   22. JRJoe Rogan31:12

       I think they, they're for sure using it. I mean, look, we know the Russians are using it. We know that, that the me- and they always find these troll farms. Like, one of them, they found that 19 of all the top 20 Christian sites on Facebook were run by Russian troll farms. (laughs)

   23. LGLuis J. Gomez31:28

       Really? When I found out that th- they were like, uh, Russia, like, interfered with the el- in the election, like, with, like, social media and shit, I was like, "Uh, that's kind of fucking awesome. It's badass."

   24. JRJoe Rogan31:41

       I wonder, uh, uh, they fir- certainly tried and I'm sure we try with theirs. The question is, like, was there, like, real interference?

   25. LGLuis J. Gomez31:49

       Well-

   26. JRJoe Rogan31:49

       'Cause the thing was like, "Russia hacked our election," like, I don't think that's true.

   27. LGLuis J. Gomez31:54

       I think you can push information.

   28. JRJoe Rogan31:55

       It doesn't seem to be true.

   29. LGLuis J. Gomez31:55

       I think they, they, I know Trump and Biden both did this, right? They, they both had massive social media teams, I'm su- I'm sure.

   30. JRJoe Rogan32:01

       Yeah.
4. 45:00 – 1:00:00

   Yeah, dude. …

   1. JRJoe Rogan45:00

      on right now.

   2. LGLuis J. Gomez45:00

      Yeah, dude.

   3. JRJoe Rogan45:01

      Hey, what is, um, what, what was that thing where they-

   4. LGLuis J. Gomez45:03

      I wanna see Elon Musk's basement-

   5. JRJoe Rogan45:04

      (laughs)

   6. LGLuis J. Gomez45:04

      ... what, the experiments that he has going on right now.

   7. JRJoe Rogan45:07

      It's probably 18 miles deep.

   8. LGLuis J. Gomez45:09

      (laughs)

   9. JRJoe Rogan45:09

      Um, what, what is that, uh, thing they did where they, uh, where they recorded, uh, human thoughts? Like, someone was watching something and they got a recording of that from something this person was wearing.

   10. LGLuis J. Gomez45:24

       Yeah. I saw it. I saw it.

   11. JRJoe Rogan45:26

       Yeah, bro. That is, that is like... Just think, Morse code was not that long ago.

   12. LGLuis J. Gomez45:31

       Yeah.

   13. JRJoe Rogan45:33

       (mimicking morse code)

   14. LGLuis J. Gomez45:34

       It's wild.

   15. JRJoe Rogan45:35

       That was not that long ago.

   16. LGLuis J. Gomez45:38

       Yeah. And it seems like technology will just move now with AI, it's just, it's-

   17. JRJoe Rogan45:42

       Yeah.

   18. LGLuis J. Gomez45:42

       ... it's just moving faster and faster and faster. It's like, it's really cool, but it's also fucking terrifying.

   19. JRJoe Rogan45:47

       This story?

   20. LGLuis J. Gomez45:47

       That's the shit that I'm terrified.

   21. JRJoe Rogan45:48

       Yes.

   22. LGLuis J. Gomez45:48

       Fuck asteroids, dude. This shit that we're talking about right now is the shit that keeps me up at night.

   23. JRJoe Rogan45:52

       No... Is this it? Scientists recorded a Pink Floyd song from patient's brain waves. Yeah, this is it. The tech could eventually allow for communication without words. What? 100% if these eggheads keep going, we're fucked.

   24. LGLuis J. Gomez46:08

       Oh, yeah, dude. It's-

   25. JRJoe Rogan46:09

       (laughs)

   26. LGLuis J. Gomez46:10

       ... they're, we're gonna be doing crazy shit. That's the really, like... And then you gotta figure, like, it's gonna be who's rich, who has the best, you know, computer built into their body-

   27. JRJoe Rogan46:19

       Mm.

   28. LGLuis J. Gomez46:19

       ... 'cause the same per- the same guy who can afford, you know, a fucking Lamborghini-

   29. JRJoe Rogan46:22

       Yeah.

   30. LGLuis J. Gomez46:22

       ... is gonna have a super brain, you know? And his computer is gonna be faster than your computer. He's gonna be able to download and upload information faster than you. It's kind of wild. Like, man-
5. 1:00:00 – 1:06:28

   Oh, platelet replacement? …

   1. JRJoe Rogan1:00:00

      um, another thing that could help you is, um, if you've, uh ... Did, did you ever get PRP in there or anything to help it heal up?

   2. LGLuis J. Gomez1:00:07

      Oh, platelet replacement?

   3. JRJoe Rogan1:00:08

      Yeah.

   4. LGLuis J. Gomez1:00:08

      No.

   5. JRJoe Rogan1:00:09

      Platelet-rich plasma. The, that, that can kinda help heal after injuries, help you heal. A lot of people like that for injuries.

   6. LGLuis J. Gomez1:00:16

      Yeah.

   7. JRJoe Rogan1:00:16

      Um, uh, maybe stem cells. Maybe consider like going down to like that place in Tijuana.

   8. LGLuis J. Gomez1:00:22

      Yeah.

   9. JRJoe Rogan1:00:23

      You know, get, get your knee like while it's recovering, hit it with stem cells.

   10. LGLuis J. Gomez1:00:28

       Yeah.

   11. JRJoe Rogan1:00:28

       That'll help you too.

   12. LGLuis J. Gomez1:00:29

       I should. I, I, I should do all these things, but I will probably just live my life in pain. (laughs)

   13. JRJoe Rogan1:00:33

       Yeah, but it'll fix it. It, it'll make it better, man. It really will.

   14. LGLuis J. Gomez1:00:36

       I know. I gotta, I gotta motivate, dude. Uh, I, I, I'm just always so busy that I never have time to take off to do shit. You know what I'm saying?

   15. JRJoe Rogan1:00:44

       I get it. I get it.

   16. LGLuis J. Gomez1:00:44

       It's, it's really, yeah. It's tough, but ... And I miss jujitsu. Jujitsu's the fucking ... Dude, it's so ... What a badass fucking sport. It's so cool.

   17. JRJoe Rogan1:00:52

       It's very good for you too.

   18. LGLuis J. Gomez1:00:53

       And that-

   19. JRJoe Rogan1:00:53

       It's good for your head.

   20. LGLuis J. Gomez1:00:54

       It was, yeah. It was great, dude.

   21. JRJoe Rogan1:00:55

       Yeah, it's great for your head. You, like the rest of the world seems like so, like not-... fearsome anymore. You just- (laughs)

   22. LGLuis J. Gomez1:01:02

       (laughs)

   23. JRJoe Rogan1:01:02

       ... spent the last hour and a half, uh, j- trying to get guys to not strangle you.

   24. LGLuis J. Gomez1:01:07

       Yeah.

   25. JRJoe Rogan1:01:07

       You know?

   26. LGLuis J. Gomez1:01:08

       Yeah, it's-

   27. JRJoe Rogan1:01:08

       Trying not to get your arm broken.

   28. LGLuis J. Gomez1:01:10

       Yeah.

   29. JRJoe Rogan1:01:10

       Just try not to get your fucking, uh, back snapped sideways.

   30. LGLuis J. Gomez1:01:14

       J- every day you, you walk into it and go, like, "Oh, I'm going to find out what I'm made of today."
