   19. JRJoe Rogan0:35

       It's a great place, man.

   20. BSBrian Simpson0:37

       (sighs)

   21. JRJoe Rogan0:37

       We were talking about this last night, the weird thing about that place is even though, like, we talked about it for so long when we were at the Vulcan, like it was almost like-

   22. BSBrian Simpson0:48

       Yeah.

   23. JRJoe Rogan0:48

       ... one day it's all gonna happen. And kind of we hoped it happened? Or were hoping it was gonna happen? But you never know until something actually happens.

   24. BSBrian Simpson0:56

       Oh, yeah, yeah. Especially out here.

   25. JRJoe Rogan0:58

       But now that it actually happened and it's been open for like ... What have we been open? Like six months now or something?

   26. BSBrian Simpson1:02

       Yeah, since April or March. Since March.

   27. JRJoe Rogan1:04

       Now it seems like it's always been there.

   28. BSBrian Simpson1:07

       The seem-

   29. JRJoe Rogan1:07

       Like the Overlook Hotel or some shit.

   30. BSBrian Simpson1:09

       It's- it c-
2. 1:10 – 7:11

   Oliver Anthony’s viral rise and the power of unpolished recordings

   1. BSBrian Simpson1:10

      I mean, 'cause that building, that building has a lot of ... I bet you a lot of dope shit's happened in that building.

   2. JRJoe Rogan1:15

      (puffs) 100%.

   3. BSBrian Simpson1:16

      You know? Like just m- just magical moment like, like when, um, (smacks lips) when Oliver, um, (clicks tongue) Oliver-

   4. JRJoe Rogan1:23

      Oliver Anthony?

   5. BSBrian Simpson1:24

      Yeah, Oliver Anthony-

   6. JRJoe Rogan1:25

      Yeah.

   7. BSBrian Simpson1:25

      ... stopped in. That- the crowd at-

   8. JRJoe Rogan1:26

      Yeah.

   9. BSBrian Simpson1:26

      They was not ready for that.

   10. JRJoe Rogan1:27

       Yeah. (laughs)

   11. BSBrian Simpson1:28

       Man, it was incredible. No one like ... 'Cause, you know, I think people have ... They all might know that they can be surprised at some other shit, but like ... But it ... This is the first time it hasn't been a comic.

   12. JRJoe Rogan1:37

       Right, right, right.

   13. BSBrian Simpson1:38

       You know? Like so ... And he got brought up by Sagura.

   14. JRJoe Rogan1:41

       Yeah.

   15. BSBrian Simpson1:42

       You know, and I don't, I don't know what they were expecting. But man.

   16. JRJoe Rogan1:45

       I wish I was there for that one. He had done the podcast that day, but I had too much shit I had to do. I had to take off.

   17. BSBrian Simpson1:51

       No, it was incredible.

   18. JRJoe Rogan1:51

       His story's nuts.

   19. BSBrian Simpson1:53

       Yeah, he- and he's a genuine dude. I mean, I still-

   20. JRJoe Rogan1:55

       Very genuine.

   21. BSBrian Simpson1:55

       I still don't know a lot about him, you know?

   22. JRJoe Rogan1:58

       Yeah.

   23. BSBrian Simpson1:59

       Like, um, you know, but he seemed to just really care about people.

   24. JRJoe Rogan2:03

       He definitely does.

   25. BSBrian Simpson2:04

       Yeah, yeah.

   26. JRJoe Rogan2:05

       He's a real good guy. And he ... You know, now the question is ... I mean, I, I think he's gonna hold onto it. But that's the question. Can he hold onto it? I, I believe he will. I think he'd be fine.

   27. BSBrian Simpson2:15

       Yeah.

   28. JRJoe Rogan2:15

       He's, he's like ... Fascinating story because he gave his life to God like 30 days ago. (laughs) And then two weeks later he has the number one song in the world (snaps fingers) like that, that he recorded off of a phone. One of his songs, the audio that's up online, I mean it's like very highly rated song, it was number one at one point in time, it's the audio off of a video from his Android phone. So he uploads it to YouTube and then he cuts the wav file from the YouTube video and uploaded that as a song.

   29. BSBrian Simpson2:47

       Wow.

   30. JRJoe Rogan2:48

       No mixing, no studio. This little bitch-ass microphone (laughs) they have at the bottom of your phone.
3. 7:11 – 9:09

   Taste, deep cuts, and why live music hits differently than comedy

   1. JRJoe Rogan7:11

      Yeah, you hear about stuff. You know, we were playing, uh, Johnny Thunder last night. Uh, I'm Alive. And like that's, that's another cool thing about having friends that have great taste. Like you-

   2. BSBrian Simpson7:23

      Oh, yeah.

   3. JRJoe Rogan7:23

      ... you came up to me, and you're like, "You gotta hear this song."

   4. BSBrian Simpson7:26

      Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

   5. JRJoe Rogan7:27

      And I was... And I was like, "Okay." And he hit me with it, and I was like, "Oh my God, what is this?" And remember we were trying to figure out, like, what year it was made?

   6. BSBrian Simpson7:34

      Yeah, yeah, it's old school. You know, 'cause that's, that's what I'll do-

   7. JRJoe Rogan7:37

      Yeah.

   8. BSBrian Simpson7:37

      ... every, every now and then I'll take a, you know, I'll take a song or I, I can take a playlist and I go make a radio station out of this playlist, you know?

   9. JRJoe Rogan7:44

      Mm-hmm.

   10. BSBrian Simpson7:45

       And then, and then I'll he- you know, I'll hear new shit that I haven't heard.

   11. JRJoe Rogan7:47

       Yeah.

   12. BSBrian Simpson7:48

       So, yeah, that just popped up on me when I was listening to Jimi Hendrix.

   13. JRJoe Rogan7:51

       God damn, that's a good song. It's so good and it's whole... It's... It just... It made me sad-

   14. BSBrian Simpson7:57

       Yeah.

   15. JRJoe Rogan7:57

       ... knowing that the dude's dead, 'cause it's like, I bet he got fucked.

   16. BSBrian Simpson8:02

       Yeah, and I, and I didn't like any of his other songs. That made me sad. (laughs)

   17. JRJoe Rogan8:05

       (laughs)

   18. BSBrian Simpson8:07

       You know, I'm real disappointed.

   19. JRJoe Rogan8:09

       I only listened to one of the other songs. I wasn't into it either.

   20. BSBrian Simpson8:12

       Yeah. 'Cause that's the thing. That's how I know, uh, Oliver Anthony is fine because, you know, you, you heard the hit go viral, but then-

   21. JRJoe Rogan8:18

       Yeah.

   22. BSBrian Simpson8:18

       ... you're like, "But does he have any other good shit?"

   23. JRJoe Rogan8:20

       Right.

   24. BSBrian Simpson8:21

       All his other shit's good.

   25. JRJoe Rogan8:22

       Yeah.

   26. BSBrian Simpson8:22

       All of... Yeah, all of his-

   27. JRJoe Rogan8:23

       No, it's all good.

   28. BSBrian Simpson8:24

       Yeah.

   29. JRJoe Rogan8:24

       And he writes it all himself too.

   30. BSBrian Simpson8:25

       Yeah.
4. 9:09 – 11:32

   Beyoncé’s “mute” moment and what it reveals about crowds (and cities)

   1. BSBrian Simpson9:09

      Yeah. And it's like people... So... Oh, I don't... You, you... I guarantee you're not aware of this, but, but this, this is a little, this is a little microcosm of what society is. Beyoncé is on tour right now, right? And she has a song where like in the middle of the song she goes, "Everybody on mute," and then you gotta, you gotta, you gotta be quiet for four or five seconds until the beat drops again.

   2. JRJoe Rogan9:31

      Mm-hmm.

   3. BSBrian Simpson9:31

      And it's... So it's like a challenge. So every city she goes to, she gets to that part of the song and the whole, the whole arena has to be quiet for four or five seconds.

   4. JRJoe Rogan9:39

      Wow.

   5. BSBrian Simpson9:40

      And people are fucking it up left and right. Like, like, thousands of people are on board, and there's always two or three motherfuckers that go... scream, "Ah, it's about Beyoncé." And, and everyone's like... You, you know, it's like those people-

   6. JRJoe Rogan9:52

      They ruin the moment.

   7. BSBrian Simpson9:53

      Yeah, those people should be arrested, because they're, they're pro-... Like, those are people that are always fucking stuff up for everybody.

   8. JRJoe Rogan9:59

      Yeah.

   9. BSBrian Simpson9:59

      It's like che-... All you gotta do is be quiet.

   10. JRJoe Rogan10:01

       Yeah.

   11. BSBrian Simpson10:01

       I think Atlanta got it right. Atlanta got... LA fucked it up big time.

   12. JRJoe Rogan10:06

       Of course they did.

   13. BSBrian Simpson10:06

       Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

   14. JRJoe Rogan10:07

       Fenway's gonna fuck it up. It's gonna be LA.

   15. BSBrian Simpson10:09

       Fenway? Oh, yeah. Well, Fenway. (laughs)

   16. JRJoe Rogan10:11

       (laughs) And if anybody's gonna get it right, it would be Atlanta.

   17. BSBrian Simpson10:13

       Yeah, yeah, exactly. But-

   18. JRJoe Rogan10:14

       There'd be people completely disconnected from show business.

   19. BSBrian Simpson10:16

       Well, I think, I think there should be a study done on this, on like why, why Atlanta? What specifically about Atlanta?

   20. JRJoe Rogan10:23

       Well-

   21. BSBrian Simpson10:24

       Right?

   22. JRJoe Rogan10:24

       ... it's always been known as, known as a fun town. A lot of great artists have come from Atlanta. Uh, a lot of great music, great comedy. It's, uh, it's a city, but it's not a city that is... has anything to do with entertainment. I think when you got anything to do with entertainment-

   23. BSBrian Simpson10:41

       No, they film. They f- It's a, it's a big film industry.

   24. JRJoe Rogan10:43

       Right, but not because it started there.

   25. BSBrian Simpson10:46

       Oh, right, right.

   26. JRJoe Rogan10:46

       Because they went there for the taxes.

   27. BSBrian Simpson10:48

       Mm-hmm.

   28. JRJoe Rogan10:49

       You know, they went there because it's easier. Like Massachusetts has that too.

   29. BSBrian Simpson10:52

       Mm-hmm.

   30. JRJoe Rogan10:52

       What I'm saying about is like you don't move to Georgia to make it as an actor, even though there's d- there's a lot of work there.
5. 11:32 – 22:41

   Actors, performative relationships, and the Depp–Heard spectacle

   1. JRJoe Rogan11:32

      And then if you have an industry that's like almost entirely filled with crazy people... Like acting, when I meet cool actors, it is so-

   2. BSBrian Simpson11:41

      It's shocking.

   3. JRJoe Rogan11:42

      It's such a breath of fresh air. Like, dude, you're so nice. It's so nice to talk to you.

   4. BSBrian Simpson11:46

      Mm-hmm. You know what they always have in common? They had a rough, rough life before they made, they made it big.

   5. JRJoe Rogan11:51

      Yeah. A lot of them do.

   6. BSBrian Simpson11:52

      Yeah.

   7. JRJoe Rogan11:53

      A lot of them do. Some of them are really impressive, and I'm... It makes me embarrassed that I sort of dismiss, uh, some actors.

   8. BSBrian Simpson12:02

      That's-

   9. JRJoe Rogan12:02

      I dismiss them as being insane.

   10. BSBrian Simpson12:03

       That's the safest bet though.

   11. JRJoe Rogan12:05

       It is a safe bet.

   12. BSBrian Simpson12:06

       Yeah.

   13. JRJoe Rogan12:06

       It's like... I mean...

   14. BSBrian Simpson12:10

       'Cause, because, 'cause an actor that is crazy...... if they in your life, it's like, they can act, so they can lie.

   15. JRJoe Rogan12:17

       (laughs) Yeah.

   16. BSBrian Simpson12:18

       So-

   17. JRJoe Rogan12:18

       And they're practicing on you. (laughs)

   18. BSBrian Simpson12:20

       Yeah. Yeah. And you would have no idea. You know? If Daniel Day-Lewis wanted to lie to your face, you wouldn't be able to tell.

   19. JRJoe Rogan12:26

       Bro, when- when Amber Heard and Johnny Depp were having arguments that they recorded, I'm like, "This is peak insanity."

   20. BSBrian Simpson12:32

       Yeah. It's crazy.

   21. JRJoe Rogan12:32

       You have two people who know other people are gonna listen to this.

   22. BSBrian Simpson12:37

       Yeah.

   23. JRJoe Rogan12:37

       And they're both aware of it because they were told to record their conversations, so they're both being very performative. And they're both, like, conning each other. (laughs)

   24. BSBrian Simpson12:47

       I know. My favorite part is Danny kept going, "Don't tell me what it's like to be punched. Punched."

   25. JRJoe Rogan12:52

       (laughs)

   26. BSBrian Simpson12:52

       The way he says punched, I can't... (laughs) I laugh every time I hear it. "Don't tell me what it's like to be punched."

   27. JRJoe Rogan12:57

       Isn't that crazy that she was try- trying to tell everybody that he hit her, but meanwhile she hit him? (laughs)

   28. BSBrian Simpson13:02

       Yeah. Uh, oh, yeah. It was... That... Like, I- I still...

   29. JRJoe Rogan13:06

       Ugh.

   30. BSBrian Simpson13:06

       I'll never get over that shit. Like, the... And the way, the way everybody just let her slide after that.
6. 22:41 – 26:32

   Marlon Brando’s Oscars protest—and the fake Native American scandal

   1. JRJoe Rogan22:41

      Oh, now I remember what it was.

   2. BSBrian Simpson22:42

      Yep, there it is.

   3. There it is.

   4. JRJoe Rogan22:43

      Thank you.

   5. BSBrian Simpson22:44

      (laughs)

   6. JRJoe Rogan22:44

      This is what it was. Marlon Brando, when he won the Academy Award, did not accept the Academy Award, instead had a Native American woman go up there and accept the award. And it turns out she wasn't really Native American. (laughs)

   7. BSBrian Simpson22:57

      (laughs) What? He had Elizabeth Warren accept his award?

   8. JRJoe Rogan22:59

      She was fake. Yes, Elizabeth Warren went up-

   9. BSBrian Simpson23:00

      No.

   10. JRJoe Rogan23:00

       ... and accepted his award. It was, she was f-... And her fucking sister ratted her out, I believe.

   11. BSBrian Simpson23:05

       (laughs)

   12. JRJoe Rogan23:06

       (laughs)

   13. BSBrian Simpson23:06

       Hated... It be your, it be your own people that be hating.

   14. JRJoe Rogan23:09

       See, but she's beautiful. I mean, like, and she's probably crazy. Um, but if you, uh, find the video, it's kind of funny, 'cause like accepting the award for Marlon Brando, and she goes up and talks about... I think she talked about Native American genocide. She was... (laughs) She's a fake Native American. She just made it up. She just, just... She changed her name, like the whole deal. What was her name?

   15. BSBrian Simpson23:32

       Uh...

   16. Did he know?

   17. Sacheen Littlefeather.

   18. JRJoe Rogan23:35

       Littlefeather. She just called herself Littlefeather. (laughs) He didn't know. He's Marlon Brando. He's on an island fucking everybody that moves. So this lady was not Native American at all. So the... Lookit, it's the Academy Award.

   19. BSBrian Simpson23:49

       She's from Oxnard, apparently.

   20. JRJoe Rogan23:50

       What's that?

   21. BSBrian Simpson23:50

       I heard the Wikipedia says she's from Oxnard.

   22. JRJoe Rogan23:52

       (laughs)

   23. BSBrian Simpson23:53

       Wow.

   24. JRJoe Rogan23:57

       And her sister was like, "You bitch, you're not fucking Native American." Imagine like your sister is crazy and you hate your sister and you're always fighting. And then one day you see that bitch at the Oscars telling everybody she's an Indian. (laughs)

   25. BSBrian Simpson24:08

       But yeah, but how... But how she fool everybody? She don't even look native.

   26. JRJoe Rogan24:12

       Well, watch, watch her talk. She kinda does. She kinda does. I mean, she could be. Here, go.

   27. NANarrator24:20

       ... seen this Coleman Micro to-

   28. Hello. My name is Sacheen Littlefeather-

   29. JRJoe Rogan24:28

       No, it's not. (laughs)

   30. NANarrator24:29

       ... and I'm Apache, and I'm president of the National Native American Affirmative Image Committee. I'm representing Marlon Brando this evening, and he has asked me to tell you in a very long speech, which I cannot share with you presently because of time, but I will be glad to share with the press afterwards, that he r- very regretfully cannot accept this very generous award. And the reasons for this being are the treatment of American Indians today by the film industry, excuse me-
7. 26:32 – 28:42

   Theranos, phone-era media, and kids mastering short-form creation

   1. JRJoe Rogan26:32

      "What the fuck are you do..." You know, that's one of the things that happened with Elizabeth Holmes, that lady who ran that Theranos scam-

   2. BSBrian Simpson26:37

      Oh, man.

   3. JRJoe Rogan26:38

      ... who, who created a fake voice.

   4. BSBrian Simpson26:39

      The king scammer.

   5. JRJoe Rogan26:40

      Her friends from college were like, "Why is that bitch talking like that?" (laughs)

   6. BSBrian Simpson26:43

      Mm-hmm.

   7. JRJoe Rogan26:43

      They would call each other up, "Hey-"

   8. BSBrian Simpson26:44

      Right.

   9. JRJoe Rogan26:45

      "... have you heard her on the news?"

   10. BSBrian Simpson26:46

       They-

   11. JRJoe Rogan26:46

       "Why is she fucking talking like she-"

   12. BSBrian Simpson26:48

       They got her at a party, like, "Totally," and then she, she gets on the, on the stage and she's like...

   13. JRJoe Rogan26:51

       "We're really excited to bring you-"

   14. BSBrian Simpson26:53

       (laughs) Right.

   15. JRJoe Rogan26:53

       "... the most amazing blood data research from a drop of blood." That story is so wild. Have you listened to the Dropout podcast series?

   16. BSBrian Simpson27:05

       No.

   17. JRJoe Rogan27:06

       It's really good.

   18. BSBrian Simpson27:07

       No.

   19. JRJoe Rogan27:07

       It's really good.

   20. BSBrian Simpson27:08

       But they made some real good... There, it's some great documentaries on YouTube that are made by, like, one person, you know?

   21. JRJoe Rogan27:13

       Oh, yeah.

   22. BSBrian Simpson27:13

       That's the way I learned about it.

   23. JRJoe Rogan27:14

       Oh, yeah. I mean, you can, I mean, you can do amazing stuff with your phone today.

   24. BSBrian Simpson27:18

       Oh, yeah.

   25. JRJoe Rogan27:18

       And just edit it all on your phone and upload it to YouTube.

   26. BSBrian Simpson27:21

       I know.

   27. JRJoe Rogan27:21

       It's a wild time.

   28. BSBrian Simpson27:22

       You ever try that shit though? You g-

   29. JRJoe Rogan27:23

       No, I don't have the time.

   30. BSBrian Simpson27:23

       I'm like these, these kids have-
8. 28:42 – 31:45

   Slang, TikTok acceleration, and attention-span programming

   1. JRJoe Rogan28:42

      Well, it's always fun to check in on the young generation, like, "What, what are you guys into?"

   2. BSBrian Simpson28:46

      (laughs)

   3. JRJoe Rogan28:47

      "What is that, what does that mean? What does 'cap' mean?"

   4. BSBrian Simpson28:48

      (laughs)

   5. JRJoe Rogan28:50

      (laughs)

   6. BSBrian Simpson28:51

      "No cap, what does that mean?"

   7. JRJoe Rogan28:52

      Oh, 'ca-'

   8. BSBrian Simpson28:53

      That means "no bullshit." Why don't you just say "no bullshit"? Why do you have to have a new word for "no bullshit"? Oh, well, yeah, 'cause "cap", 'cause "cap" could also just mean lie.

   9. JRJoe Rogan29:00

      Right.

   10. BSBrian Simpson29:01

       Yeah.

   11. JRJoe Rogan29:01

       Right. How'd that happen?

   12. BSBrian Simpson29:03

       I have-

   13. JRJoe Rogan29:03

       How did "cap" become lie?

   14. BSBrian Simpson29:04

       I don't know the originate, the origination of it, honestly.

   15. JRJoe Rogan29:07

       I found out from Schultze. I heard Schultze talk about it.

   16. BSBrian Simpson29:10

       Yeah.

   17. JRJoe Rogan29:10

       He goes, "Cap." I go, "What does that mean?"

   18. BSBrian Simpson29:12

       Yeah.

   19. JRJoe Rogan29:12

       He goes, "I call cap." I go, "What are you calling?" (laughs)

   20. BSBrian Simpson29:15

       But that, but that, but that's the thing is like, but cap, see, Black people been saying "cap" for, like, 20 years.

   21. JRJoe Rogan29:18

       Oh, so it's like woke.

   22. BSBrian Simpson29:20

       Yeah, it's like Tik-

   23. JRJoe Rogan29:21

       So-

   24. BSBrian Simpson29:21

       ... TikTok just, like-

   25. JRJoe Rogan29:22

       Mm.

   26. BSBrian Simpson29:23

       ... TikTok has, has shortened the amount of time from when Black people say some cool shit and then white people make it lame.

   27. JRJoe Rogan29:30

       Ah!

   28. BSBrian Simpson29:31

       You know what I mean? 'Cause it-

   29. JRJoe Rogan29:32

       Right, it's a fucking shorter window.

   30. BSBrian Simpson29:33

       Yeah, yeah. It used to be, you know, Black people would say some cool shit, and it would be, you know, pushed to the side, and then maybe 10 years later, Black parents are saying it, and so now it's lame to the Black kids. But by that time, the white kids are saying it.
9. 31:45 – 35:33

   Work, purpose, homelessness, and society’s visible breakdowns

   1. BSBrian Simpson31:45

      Ma- ... Like, put ... You know, (clears throat) I was just, I was just telling the homie this, but there's n- ... There w- ... I don't remember ever feeling so bad about myself in life until ... Except for that ... The, the period where I was working my ass off just to make enough to go to work. Like, I only had enough money to, you know, to eat and go to work and go home and come back-

   2. JRJoe Rogan32:07

      Yeah.

   3. BSBrian Simpson32:07

      ... and go to ... And even ... So even on my days off I couldn't do shit 'cause I wasn't making enough money. You know what I mean?

   4. JRJoe Rogan32:12

      Yeah.

   5. BSBrian Simpson32:12

      And that j- ... If all you can ... That's how I know ... That's how I know living is more important than working. You don't ... We don't ... You don't live to work. You work to live. So, so nobody wants to just work. If you ... 'Cause when you just work, you feel like shit. You wanna die.

   6. JRJoe Rogan32:25

      All the time.

   7. BSBrian Simpson32:26

      But it's the opposite also. When you don't work at all, you die in a different way.

   8. JRJoe Rogan32:30

      Right.

   9. BSBrian Simpson32:30

      You feel useless. You gotta have a purpose.

   10. JRJoe Rogan32:33

       You feel useless and you don't get anything done.

   11. BSBrian Simpson32:35

       Yeah, and you don't grow.

   12. JRJoe Rogan32:36

       When you don't have a job, like, you don't get anything done 'cause you don't have any money, so you can't really do stuff.

   13. BSBrian Simpson32:40

       Yeah.

   14. JRJoe Rogan32:40

       And so you're just kinda at your house all day just waiting.

   15. BSBrian Simpson32:43

       But sometimes, sometimes ... I'll put it to you like this. I've never been envious of somebody that's being worked to death.

   16. JRJoe Rogan32:50

       (laughs)

   17. BSBrian Simpson32:51

       But I've walked past some homeless people that laid out on the sidewalk, you know? And I'm like, "You know what? There's something to that." Just not giving a fuck, like, you ... Wherever you are, you at home.

   18. JRJoe Rogan33:00

       Mm.

   19. BSBrian Simpson33:01

       Now, y- yeah, you don't care about the smell. Who gives a fuck? It's, it's pissy out here, but you're comfortable.

   20. JRJoe Rogan33:06

       Mm.

   21. BSBrian Simpson33:07

       That ... If I had to choose between the two, I, I don't know. I have a tough decision.

   22. JRJoe Rogan33:12

       You could always find a public shower.

   23. BSBrian Simpson33:14

       (laughs) Yeah.

   24. JRJoe Rogan33:16

       The thing is, like, y- ... It just sucks. It sucks being homeless. There's no good thing about being homeless. But there's also no good thing about wor- ... Y- ... Like, you don't want either or.

   25. BSBrian Simpson33:23

       O- o- ... Once you at ... But once you at the point where you not rewarded for smelling good, you know?

   26. JRJoe Rogan33:28

       Right. No-

   27. BSBrian Simpson33:28

       Like, like, my life's the same whether I smell good or not.

   28. JRJoe Rogan33:31

       Right.

   29. BSBrian Simpson33:32

       Who knows?

   30. JRJoe Rogan33:32

       Yeah, you just live on the street no matter what.
10. 35:33 – 58:12

    Anorexia influencers, body dysmorphia, and the genetics/trauma debate

    1. JRJoe Rogan35:33

       You know what scares the shit out of me that I've been seeing on Instagram is, um, anorexics.

    2. BSBrian Simpson35:39

       Mm.

    3. JRJoe Rogan35:39

       There was some anorexic lady who was dancing around on Instagram, and then I, I told my daughter about it, and she knew the girl's name. Like, Eugenia or something like that.

    4. BSBrian Simpson35:48

       And is she ... Wait, wait. Is this, like-

    5. JRJoe Rogan35:50

       She's a famous, uh, Instagram, or TikTok-

    6. BSBrian Simpson35:53

       But she, she's famous ... She's famous for being an, an anorexic?

    7. JRJoe Rogan35:56

       I believe that's part of what she's famous for, yeah.

    8. BSBrian Simpson35:58

       Oh, God.

    9. JRJoe Rogan35:58

       Because when ... You know, I used to do yoga at this pla- ... Yeah, there she is.

    10. BSBrian Simpson36:02

        Oh, no, baby girl. No.

    11. JRJoe Rogan36:03

        L- ... You should see the videos. See if you find videos of it, 'cause, like, when she's dancing arou- ... Like, that one down there with the microphone in her hand, that's the one I saw. Like, look at this. That's crazy, man.

    12. BSBrian Simpson36:16

        Ah, goddamn. That-

    13. JRJoe Rogan36:17

        That scares-

    14. BSBrian Simpson36:17

        That wig look like it's weighing her down.

    15. JRJoe Rogan36:19

        Bro, that scares the shit out of me.

    16. BSBrian Simpson36:21

        I, I ... So wait a minute. I ... Damn.

    17. JRJoe Rogan36:23

        Look at her hips.

    18. BSBrian Simpson36:24

        Why are you showing me this?

    19. JRJoe Rogan36:24

        Look at the bones. Look at the bones in her hips. I mean, (clears throat) I used to do yoga-

    20. BSBrian Simpson36:29

        God.

    21. JRJoe Rogan36:30

        ... with this lady who was an anorexic.... she, I, um, oh, I shouldn't say used to do, I did it once. I showed up at this class and this lady-

    22. BSBrian Simpson36:37

        (sighs)

    23. JRJoe Rogan36:38

        ... was there. And, you know, at the beginning of the class, like before the class starts, people are, like, warming up and stuff. And I, I, I look over and I had to do one of these, like, like, "Don't, don't freak out," go (gasps) because she was like 70 pounds. She looked like that lady. But she was, like, right next to me, on the mat right next to me.

    24. BSBrian Simpson36:56

        Oh, man.

    25. JRJoe Rogan36:56

        I was like, "Oh my God."

    26. BSBrian Simpson36:57

        Is she doing jujitsu?

    27. JRJoe Rogan36:58

        No, no, no. Yoga.

    28. BSBrian Simpson36:59

        Oh, oh-

    29. JRJoe Rogan37:00

        (laughs)

    30. BSBrian Simpson37:01

        ... okay. (laughs) I was about to say, I was about to say, get her out of there!
11. 58:12 – 1:17:37

    Combat sports realities: kicks, liver shots, and fighters aging out

    1. BSBrian Simpson58:12

       (laughs) Yo, you could g- (laughs) you could be canceled before my special come out.

    2. JRJoe Rogan58:17

       You could kill a regular person if they just l- if, like, their back was against a wall and you kicked them in the stomach, you could destroy their organs.

    3. BSBrian Simpson58:27

       Oh, yeah, for sure.

    4. JRJoe Rogan58:28

       What are they like, a turning side kick to the body?

    5. BSBrian Simpson58:30

       Especially if you get them, like, right (smacks lips) right in the-

    6. JRJoe Rogan58:32

       No, you would get them right in the fucking center.

    7. BSBrian Simpson58:35

       Oh.

    8. JRJoe Rogan58:35

       Like, right in here.

    9. BSBrian Simpson58:35

       Oh, like a Spartan kick?

    10. JRJoe Rogan58:36

        You just sma- no, you d- it's, use a spinning back kick. That's the most powerful kick. It's a, a turning side kick it's called. It's my specialty.

    11. BSBrian Simpson58:44

        I s- oh, yeah, I saw about this. Like, the ones I've seen you do on videos?

    12. JRJoe Rogan58:47

        Yeah.

    13. BSBrian Simpson58:47

        Yeah, but it, h- uh, but most people can't pull that off with th-

    14. JRJoe Rogan58:50

        No, no, no. I'm just saying that thi- there's human beings that are capable of killing someone with a kick.

    15. BSBrian Simpson58:54

        Oh, yeah.

    16. JRJoe Rogan58:55

        You don't see it in an MMA fight because first of all these guys are heavily muscled, and generally kicks don't land perfectly flush and your back is not to a wall where you absorb all the impact. But if your back was to a wall and there was nothing, like, a concrete wall, there's nothing stopping the impact and someone, like, really fucking smashed you, you got a real good chance of bleeding internally.

    17. BSBrian Simpson59:15

        Yeah. I'm, I'm, I'm really-

    18. JRJoe Rogan59:16

        A real good chance of having fractured ribs that go into your lungs and all kinds of shit.

    19. BSBrian Simpson59:19

        I'm always blown away when I see a UFC fighter take one of those kicks.

    20. JRJoe Rogan59:22

        (sighs) Bro.

    21. BSBrian Simpson59:24

        You know?

    22. JRJoe Rogan59:24

        The, just the f- you k- you know what the most painful shit is? The calf kicks. And I'm saying this anecdotally. I've never been kicked in the calf really. Not hard. Uh, not like by a UFC fighter in a fight. But i- just the, just getting hi- m- massaging your calves fucking hurts like hell.

    23. BSBrian Simpson59:41

        Yeah.

    24. JRJoe Rogan59:41

        These guys are kicking each other in the calf and it deadens your calf where you can't walk right and so then you gotta kind of play it off, so mostly you're moving on your other leg.

    25. BSBrian Simpson59:51

        (laughs)

    26. JRJoe Rogan59:51

        And you see it in guys. You see it, like, right away. Like Poatan, Alex Pereira, he's the best I've ever seen at that. I've ever seen. He's the best at it.

    27. BSBrian Simpson1:00:00

        The calf kick?

    28. JRJoe Rogan1:00:01

        Oh, he's so sneaky. And Izzy, he got Izzy in the first fight and he was getting Izzy in the second fight with it and Izzy's like, "Goddamn, this motherfucker's getting me again." Like, right before he cracked him. He was catching him in that leg and he was deadening that leg and that's what fucked Izzy up in the first fight. He couldn't get away from him. He couldn't ... His leg wouldn't move.

    29. BSBrian Simpson1:00:20

        Oh.

    30. JRJoe Rogan1:00:20

        He had kicked his left calf so many times, the whole thing was just useless. Who, and Izzy's (microphone thumps) just a great athlete, so he's moving around on it and you can't tell that much.
