      The Joe Rogan Experience.

   3. JRJoe Rogan0:06

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

   4. BRBrian Redban0:13

      Hey.

   5. JRJoe Rogan0:14

      Hi.

   6. BRBrian Redban0:14

      Joe, what's going on?

   7. JRJoe Rogan0:15

      Hi. We are, um, at the verge of World War III.

   8. BRBrian Redban0:19

      Yeah.

   9. JRJoe Rogan0:20

      I, I ... You know what? Here's what's crazy, man. I've been freaking out over the last, like, few weeks. Like, w- at nighttime. Like at nighttime I'll be alone and I just start thinking about the future of the world, and I start, like, legit freaking out. Like, what, what would happen if we were, like, legit Armageddon, Mad Max nuclear war. Like, how far are we away from that? And it just ... It's ... It could just give me anxiety before I go to sleep. I'd just be laying there going, "Fuck." Like, "How does this all resolve?" And then this fucking Israel thing pops up off, and now I'm, like, legit freaked out.

   10. BRBrian Redban0:53

       I've been, uh, definitely buying a lot of stuff lately for my house, like, end of the world shit. Like, I'm getting Tesla solar n- right now.

   11. JRJoe Rogan1:00

       That's a good move.

   12. BRBrian Redban1:01

       You know, and battery packs so I can live off the grid and ...

   13. JRJoe Rogan1:04

       Yeah, that's a good move.

   14. BRBrian Redban1:05

       Yeah.

   15. JRJoe Rogan1:05

       Yeah, if you can get your house solar, that's a big move. Just fucking ... A bit of a ... Uh, you know, at a certain point in time, what is it ... What's the electricity even getting you other than keeping the lights on though? Th- what, what I'm scared of is, like, all communications are gone. Like, how m- how hard would it be to shut down our power grid? How hard would it be to blow a few satellites up and no one knows shit?

   16. BRBrian Redban1:28

       Yeah, that's why, like, that, that, that Starlink, the-

   17. JRJoe Rogan1:31

       Mm-hmm.

   18. BRBrian Redban1:31

       You know, the satellites thing, I'm thinking about getting that even though I have, I have great internet but-

   19. JRJoe Rogan1:36

       Yeah.

   20. BRBrian Redban1:36

       You know, just because, "Oh, what if?" It's ... Yeah, it's scary.

   21. JRJoe Rogan1:39

       Yeah, I was in the mountains in Utah and they had Starlink and it was great. It works everywhere.

   22. BRBrian Redban1:44

       Mm-hmm.

   23. JRJoe Rogan1:44

       It's real ... But people keep thinking it's UFOs.

   24. BRBrian Redban1:46

       Oh, yeah. Like, people keep filming it flying, "What is that?"

   25. JRJoe Rogan1:49

       Yeah, the dots in the air. Dude, everybody's looking for UFOs now, like, more than ever.

   26. BRBrian Redban1:53

       Yeah. Ring- ring- ring cameras are putting out a million dollar, uh, bounty if you catch something-

   27. JRJoe Rogan1:59

       (laughs)

   28. BRBrian Redban1:59

       ... on your ring cameras right now. They will pay you a million dollars.

   29. JRJoe Rogan2:03

       That's good because they know-

   30. BRBrian Redban2:04

       Yeah.
2. 15:00 – 30:00

   No, if I'm taking…

   1. JRJoe Rogan15:00

      Apple needs to jump on that. You know they will. In like two years, they'll have a- a foldable, I bet. The- they'll be way behind the curve. Yeah, but they won't have the crease, I bet. I bet- that's the big thing. I gotta tell you, it bummed me out when I found out that Samsung was faking those moon pictures. (laughs) It really bummed me out. Yeah, because you actually told me about it, or you sent me one. Yes. You were like, "Oh-" Yeah, so you were like, "I was on vacation." And that made me buy the Galaxy- (laughs) ... S21 or whatever it was at the time. Mm-hmm. I was like, "I have to get this." I... And it's still... You know, yeah, it's still fine I guess. The camera's incredible. The camera's amazing. It's a very, very, very good camera. But so is the iPhone camera. Yeah. The only thing that the Samsung camera legitimately does do is it zooms in way better. Mm-hmm. Like, they- they can zoom in from like, it's crazy zoom. I know it's electronic. It's, like, optical up to a certain extent. Five, I think, or six. Yeah, and then it go... What does Apple's do? Apple's is five and it- it zooms in, but the megapix- Yeah. Megapixels are bigger on the Galaxy S23 and stuff like that, Ultras. Right. But I mean, how... What... Where are you looking at your phone, your pictures for the most part? You're looking at them on your phone. On your phone, right. So what... How much of a difference does that make? It's not that big of a difference. It's, um, it's the quality of the lens and stuff. Like, the new iPhone, uh, is like 48 megapixels, but their new zoom is, uh, this new zoom lens, it's five t- uh, optical now. But, uh, so many of the tests show, like, the quality of the two, uh, you know, the Galaxy S23 Ultra- Mm-hmm. ... it's like almost exactly the same and it's like twice the megapixels. So megapixels doesn't really matter anymore. It's actually the detail up to a certain point of megapixels. But doesn't megapixels matter, say like if you want i-... Like, one of the things Sony has one of the most interesting phones, because Sony is out there wilding. And what Sony's done is they said, "Look, no one's buying this, but we're just gonna make a phone with the craziest fucking camera we can put on it, with the most professional features." Like, a guy like you or Jamie, J- J- Jamie really knows how to work a camera. You know, like, and a l- a lot of people that are like legit photographers, they love that Sony phone because you can... It... You go into it, it's like a computer. There's so many features and so many options. What is it called? Oh, the new one, it's on... It's- it has like- Yeah. ... the same kind of setup as like a- their, like, professional camera lens, like the menus and stuff, like the, uh... Yeah, MKBHD. ... the... Yeah. He, um, he went over it. Yeah. And- and he was just talking about like, "Who is this phone for?" It's- 'Cause it's... The camera's incredible. It does so many things. It's all the- the options are... It's for someone who really understands settings and you really wanna go... And you can make movies with that man, like legit movies with that phone. Well, that- what's funny though is that's just software for the most part. And you could actually download, uh, programs on your iPhone and do exactly the same stuff. Oh, really? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, so it's not- it's not the quality of the cameras? I mean, the lens is great and stuff, but I would really like to see it versus the new iPhone, and I bet the iPhone is probably better. Interesting. So if you used a similar program? Yeah. It's like, uh, Camera Raw. I forget the name of the... Do you use one of those, Jamie? Do you ever use one of them cameras?

   2. BRBrian Redban17:56

      No, if I'm taking a photo like that, I wouldn't use my iPhone. The iPhone's just like, when I'm at the concert, I just try to take the best thing I can real quick.

   3. JRJoe Rogan18:02

      Yeah.

   4. BRBrian Redban18:02

      The- the- the- the correct answer for that's the best camera is always the one you have on you, not the one you-

   5. JRJoe Rogan18:06

      Right.

   6. BRBrian Redban18:07

      ... go buy or whatever, but...

   7. JRJoe Rogan18:07

      What is the most useless film footage of all time that people never watch?

   8. BRBrian Redban18:13

      Fireworks.

   9. JRJoe Rogan18:14

      Thank you. That's what I was gonna say.

   10. BRBrian Redban18:14

       (laughs)

   11. JRJoe Rogan18:14

       (laughs)

   12. BRBrian Redban18:15

       Unless- unless it's a journaling thing.

   13. JRJoe Rogan18:17

       That's what I was gonna say. That's exactly what I was gonna say. (laughs)

   14. BRBrian Redban18:17

       But unless it's like a self-journal. I was here on 4th of July, these people were with me, that was the song playing, blah, blah, blah, blah.

   15. JRJoe Rogan18:21

       Yeah, no, that's kind of cool. That's kind of cool.

   16. BRBrian Redban18:24

       But that's the... Other than that, you're never going to watch them.

   17. JRJoe Rogan18:26

       ... yeah, get the fuck outta here. You can buy legit fireworks in Texas.

   18. BRBrian Redban18:31

       Mm.

   19. JRJoe Rogan18:31

       And my poor boy, Marshall, Marshall, who is the sweetest-

   20. BRBrian Redban18:35

       Same.

   21. JRJoe Rogan18:35

       ... he is so scared of lightning and so scared of-

   22. BRBrian Redban18:39

       Of-

   23. JRJoe Rogan18:39

       ... thunder and, uh, fireworks rather. He won't, like, he won't sit still. Like, we'll try to, like, just watch TV with him, and he's just jumping up on the couch with you and jumping on the ground. Like, "Dude, settle."

   24. BRBrian Redban18:49

       Yeah, same.

   25. JRJoe Rogan18:50

       "It's okay, buddy."

   26. BRBrian Redban18:51

       Panting.

   27. JRJoe Rogan18:52

       I thought that if he sat next to me and I pet him, he would be cool. But nope, he's like, "I gotta get outta here. We're getting bombed."

   28. BRBrian Redban18:58

       Yeah.

   29. JRJoe Rogan18:58

       Firework. And he wasn't like that before. I don't know what set it off. Moving to Texas set it off. Well, it's... I think it's because people are doing them on my block.

   30. BRBrian Redban19:07

       Yeah.
3. 30:00 – 45:00

   A pro-Jesus song? …

   1. JRJoe Rogan30:00

      fucking jams, dude. It's pretty interesting. I'm gonna send this to you, Jamie. Um...

   2. BRBrian Redban30:05

      A pro-Jesus song?

   3. JRJoe Rogan30:07

      Yeah. It's, it's f- it's g-... I'll tell you the guy as soon as I pull it up. Hold on a second. My playlist is so long. I keep on saying I'm gonna publish this on Spotify, and I swear to God I will.

   4. BRBrian Redban30:17

      Uh, publish your playlist?

   5. JRJoe Rogan30:18

      Yeah.

   6. BRBrian Redban30:18

      Oh, yeah, there's definitely-

   7. JRJoe Rogan30:18

      The Green Room playlist. All right, let me share this with Jamie.

   8. BRBrian Redban30:23

      By the way, listen to Post Malone's cover of Nirvana. He did, like, uh, he just played a bunch of Nirvana songs, like, to... like, during COVID. That's how I c- found out about Post. Some of the best Nirvana covers I've ever heard in my life. He k- kills it.

   9. JRJoe Rogan30:37

      He covers Sturgill Simpson too, man.

   10. BRBrian Redban30:39

       Yeah, yeah.

   11. JRJoe Rogan30:39

       Like, he's doing, at, uh, Stagecoach, which is the thing that is connected to Coachella.

   12. BRBrian Redban30:45

       Right.

   13. JRJoe Rogan30:45

       The country music one. He's gonna do a whole country set there.

   14. BRBrian Redban30:49

       No shit.

   15. JRJoe Rogan30:49

       Yeah.

   16. BRBrian Redban30:50

       Wow, dude.

   17. JRJoe Rogan30:50

       He's so talented. He's so talented. Like, when we went to see him live, we went to Houston to see his, his concert.

   18. BRBrian Redban30:57

       Oh, you did?

   19. JRJoe Rogan30:58

       Yeah.

   20. BRBrian Redban30:58

       Wow.

   21. JRJoe Rogan30:58

       Fucking amazing, the energy that guy has. It's... It, like...... he just fucking goes for it. And the show is so good, the show's so solid.

   22. BRBrian Redban31:10

       Mm-hmm.

   23. JRJoe Rogan31:10

       So exciting. It just really makes you wanna do better, you know? You see someone just crush it like that, you're like, "God, I wanna fucking do better."

   24. BRBrian Redban31:18

       Yeah.

   25. JRJoe Rogan31:18

       I just... Everything I do, I wanna do better.

   26. BRBrian Redban31:20

       Yeah.

   27. JRJoe Rogan31:21

       You get that song?

   28. BRBrian Redban31:22

       Yeah, I was waiting for you guys, though.

   29. JRJoe Rogan31:23

       Yeah, listen to this shit. This is from... I think it's from 1970. Larry Norman.

   30. BRBrian Redban31:32

       Sipping whiskey from a paper cup. You drown your sorrows till you can't stand up. Take a look at what you done to yourself. Why don't you, you put the bottle back on the shelf? Yellow finger from your cigarettes. Your hands are shaking while your body sweats.
4. 45:00 – 1:00:00

   Mm-mm. …

   1. JRJoe Rogan45:00

      in your life. So, if you're a guy like you or I, let's say us, 'cause we're comedians, so we're hanging out at the comedy club, we're doing podcasts. That's our world. Our world is fucking around with people. Our w- our world is telling jokes. Our world is hanging out with our friends and doing shows. Their world is killing people. Their world is controlling resources, and it's not... They don't play fair. Like, they- they release stories that aren't true. They use disinformation to switch narratives. They have social media posts that aren't real so they can get people riled up about certain things. And then they're also coordinating military attacks. That's their world. We just don't think about that world, 'cause we're not in that world. But people have been in that world since the beginning of time. What they've done with us is they've sheltered us in such a way, and then censored all the mainstream media in such a way that they completely control the narrative of how you think about h-... what can and cannot happen in the world, and why these things are happening. And we're seeing that right now. We're seeing that, like, in your face, where you're like, "What?" And you're also seeing people with massive amounts of conspiracies now, right? And whenever something like that happens, there's always the people that are like, "How did they not know this was gonna happen?" Like, isn't this the most sophisticated surveillance systems in the world? This, like... I- i- Israel is the, they're the people that invented Pegasus. That's that shit that gets on your phone, where they can listen to anybody, and they have like, they're c-... They have that Iron Dome that protects them against missiles. Did you ever see that working?

   2. BRBrian Redban46:42

      Mm-mm.

   3. JRJoe Rogan46:43

      They were just showing it the other night.

   4. BRBrian Redban46:44

      Yeah.

   5. JRJoe Rogan46:44

      It's... Show videos of the Iron Dome working. It's crazy. So, as Hamas is launching these missiles, they're shooting missiles at the missiles and blowing them up in the sky.

   6. BRBrian Redban46:54

      Oh, okay.

   7. JRJoe Rogan46:54

      It's wild. Look at this.

   8. BRBrian Redban46:55

      Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's old school Missile Command. Remember that video?

   9. JRJoe Rogan46:59

      Yeah.

   10. BRBrian Redban46:59

       (laughs)

   11. JRJoe Rogan46:59

       I mean, you have to be 100% accurate, 'cause any one of these is gonna kill a bunch of people. But I mean, just imagine living in Israel, and you go outside, and you're seeing missiles getting hit by bombs. Look at this.

   12. BRBrian Redban47:13

       That's insane.

   13. JRJoe Rogan47:14

       Look at this. They're just jacking 'em in the sky. But if they miss one, that's a wrap. I mean, how much do, how much do each one of these missiles that they're shooting at these other missiles cost?

   14. BRBrian Redban47:25

       Right. That's what I was thinking. It's a million dollars, million dollars, million dollars. (laughs)

   15. JRJoe Rogan47:28

       I mean, how are they getting all the money to shoot those missiles at Israel? Like, all of it is crazy.

   16. BRBrian Redban47:33

       Yeah.

   17. JRJoe Rogan47:34

       And someone tweeted, let's see if this is true, that this happened right after, uh, Biden, the Biden administration released a bunch of funds to Iran. I think it was like $6 billion.

   18. BRBrian Redban47:46

       Really?

   19. JRJoe Rogan47:47

       And then these people in Hamas are thanking Iran for funding this.

   20. BRBrian Redban47:51

       Wow.

   21. JRJoe Rogan47:52

       But it's y-... What's real?

   22. BRBrian Redban47:53

       Yeah.

   23. JRJoe Rogan47:54

       What's real?

   24. BRBrian Redban47:54

       That sounds like-

   25. JRJoe Rogan47:55

       Let's... How much is, how much of this is real?

   26. BRBrian Redban47:57

       Yeah. Have you heard about this?

   27. JRJoe Rogan47:59

       Here it is. Air Force successfully tested secret new stealth missile with mock nuke. (sighs)

   28. BRBrian Redban48:05

       We have a stealth nuke, basically.

   29. JRJoe Rogan48:07

       Stealth missile.

   30. BRBrian Redban48:08

       Yeah.
5. 1:00:00 – 1:13:03

   Mm-hmm. …

   1. JRJoe Rogan1:00:00

      playing the war game.

   2. BRBrian Redban1:00:01

      Mm-hmm.

   3. JRJoe Rogan1:00:01

      And they wanna be able to tell you what you can and can't talk about. That's fucking scary shit, especially in this climate. It's a fucking weird, polarizing climate. Like, it's like, "Oh, God. Everybody's so angry."

   4. BRBrian Redban1:00:13

      What happened though to Canada? Remember, w- you know, just 15 years ago, we- I would always consider them being so progressive-

   5. JRJoe Rogan1:00:19

      Mm-hmm.

   6. BRBrian Redban1:00:19

      ... especially with marijuana and everything like that. You used to go there and go like, "Man, the- this is like a, you know, a chill USA." You know? (laughs)

   7. JRJoe Rogan1:00:27

      Yeah, I loved it there.

   8. BRBrian Redban1:00:28

      Yeah.

   9. JRJoe Rogan1:00:29

      I was like, "They're, like, 20% less douchebags-"

   10. BRBrian Redban1:00:31

       Yeah.

   11. JRJoe Rogan1:00:31

       "... in Canada."

   12. BRBrian Redban1:00:32

       Mm-hmm.

   13. JRJoe Rogan1:00:32

       That's what I always used to say when we went up there. We always used to look forward to doing gigs-

   14. BRBrian Redban1:00:35

       Yeah.

   15. JRJoe Rogan1:00:35

       ... in Vancouver and Toronto-

   16. BRBrian Redban1:00:37

       Mm-hmm.

   17. JRJoe Rogan1:00:37

       ... and Montreal. I used to love the Montreal Comedy Festival. It was so fun.

   18. BRBrian Redban1:00:41

       (laughs) Man, those were the days.

   19. JRJoe Rogan1:00:42

       They were cool people, man. But they got fucked. That government came in and fucked them, and it keeps fucking them. Like, that whole Canadian trucker thing, where people-

   20. BRBrian Redban1:00:51

       Oh, yeah.

   21. JRJoe Rogan1:00:52

       ... who donated money to them got their bank accounts frozen.

   22. BRBrian Redban1:00:54

       Mm-hmm.

   23. JRJoe Rogan1:00:54

       Like, hey, that's Banana Republic shit. That's not supposed-

   24. BRBrian Redban1:00:57

       (laughs)

   25. JRJoe Rogan1:00:58

       ... to be going on in Canada.

   26. BRBrian Redban1:00:59

       Yeah.

   27. JRJoe Rogan1:01:00

       But it was all because of COVID. COVID gave them this reason to flex their authority in very creepy ways. That's what you have to be- always to be scared of when any kind of disaster happens, or a war or something crazy, an attack, because that they always use as an opportunity to get more power, that you would never agree to earlier. Like, no one would have agreed to what's in the Patriot Act.... they tried that before. They tried it before, and everybody's like, "Get the fuck out of here." So, they put on the shelf. Most of those ideas that were in the Patriot Act, they had- they had already tried to weasel those in. And then when it came along, and there was 9/11, they're like, "Fuck it. Let's roll it out." Patriot. We're patriots. Who's gonna say no to Patriot Act? Aren't we patriots? And then there was the NDAA, which gave them the ability to indefinitely detain people without charging them. Like, what?

   28. BRBrian Redban1:01:49

       Mm-hmm.

   29. JRJoe Rogan1:01:49

       Like, you want the right to do that without judges and lawyers, and you-

   30. BRBrian Redban1:01:53

       It's crazy.
