Stem cell recovery rules, podcast gear, and the early JRE vibe
- NANarrator
(drumbeats) Joe Rogan podcast, check it out.
The Joe Rogan Experience.
- JRJoe Rogan
Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day. (rock music plays) What's up, Joe hands? You all juiced up with stem cells, you feel any different?
- CHCameron Hanes
(sighs) Are we live yet?
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs) Yeah, we're live.
- CHCameron Hanes
Oh, we are?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- CHCameron Hanes
Oh, yeah, I feel... I don't know, you said I can't do anything for a few days, though.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. You gotta- you- you really should be taking time off. Like we were talking about how Shane Dorian went down to Tijuana and he got, like, this full body stem cell treatment, they injected his discs and they did all this jazz, and they told him, "Don't do anything for eight weeks."
- CHCameron Hanes
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
You, like, walk, but, you know-
- CHCameron Hanes
I can't do that.
- JRJoe Rogan
... just let it heal. Let it heal.
- CHCameron Hanes
Eight weeks?
- JRJoe Rogan
(sings) I know it's hard.
- CHCameron Hanes
Hey, could I get a little more volume?
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, you can turn it right there.
- CHCameron Hanes
Oh, wait.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, on that little thing.
- CHCameron Hanes
Oh, here?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. We're like a radio station now. We got, like, real equipment.
- CHCameron Hanes
Okay.
- JRJoe Rogan
You got a cough button too-
- CHCameron Hanes
I do, yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
... if you have to cough.
- CHCameron Hanes
(coughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
See?
- CHCameron Hanes
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Pretty cool.
- CHCameron Hanes
That's pretty s- see, I don't have this. See, I'm bare bones. I'm like, you know, Mattel version podcast, you're like the hype-
- 1:48 – 3:51
Crypto skepticism: FTX fallout, sponsorship offers, and why Joe stayed away
- JRJoe Rogan
But he's a, like, super nerd. He's into all that crypto shit. I just, ugh, it's too much for me.
- CHCameron Hanes
I like bow hunting, that's all.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. I don't have time.
- CHCameron Hanes
That's all I'm into.
- JRJoe Rogan
I don't have time for this crypto stuff.
- CHCameron Hanes
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
I- I- I believe in it, I think it's- it holds promise. Every now and then one of those FTX things happens where everybody loses billions and I'm like, "Yes."
- CHCameron Hanes
Yes.
- JRJoe Rogan
"Exactly."
- CHCameron Hanes
See?
- JRJoe Rogan
"That's why I didn't get involved in any of that shit."
- CHCameron Hanes
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
There was a few of those companies that tried to get me involved in sponsors-
- CHCameron Hanes
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
... and stuff like that, and do ads, and I was like, "What are you doing? What is this? Coins?"
- CHCameron Hanes
And also those- what about those card things?
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, uh, you mean an NFT?
- CHCameron Hanes
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, see that is not real, or I- I guess it's sort of an NFT, but that's really just an art gift from-
- CHCameron Hanes
Oh.
- JRJoe Rogan
... this guy Beeple. And Beeple, who is this, uh, really cool artist who puts up a new piece of art every day.
- CHCameron Hanes
Oh.
- JRJoe Rogan
365 days a year he does stuff like that. And it's all- have you ever seen his stuff?
- CHCameron Hanes
I think maybe. But-
- JRJoe Rogan
Pull up- pull up Beeple's Instagram, it's wild, wild shit.
- CHCameron Hanes
Yeah, I'll have a look.
- JRJoe Rogan
But he actually has a gallery, and in his gallery he has things like this, but enormous ones.
- CHCameron Hanes
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
Like big giant things that he's made-
- CHCameron Hanes
Mm-hmm.
- 3:51 – 11:13
NFTs: Beeple vs. Bored Apes and the “what do you actually own?” debate
- JRJoe Rogan
So, that I understand. That is digital art. I understand that.
- CHCameron Hanes
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
But there's a lot of the NFTs, like the Bored Ape Yacht Club.
- CHCameron Hanes
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
I was like, "What is a, what is a, what?"
- CHCameron Hanes
Yeah. A- for a while there it seemed like everybody was making, like, millions. I'm like, "So, what- what do I gotta do here?"
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- CHCameron Hanes
(laughs) And so, can I make a hunting photo in NFT and just make a bunch of money, or how does this work?
- JRJoe Rogan
I think a lot of people thought that at first.
- CHCameron Hanes
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
And maybe if you hopped on the bandwagon at the very beginning before everybody kind of woke up... There's no s- there's no there there. Right? So, like, here's the thing. Like, people are like, "Well, it's yours and you own it and nobody can give..." Yeah, but I could take a screenshot of it, and I have it on my phone.
- CHCameron Hanes
Yeah. It's weird.
- JRJoe Rogan
And where are you gonna look at it other than your phone? Like, I literally have what someone paid a million dollars for if I wanted to get a screenshot of it.
- CHCameron Hanes
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
I could get that-
- CHCameron Hanes
I don't get it.
- JRJoe Rogan
... and then it's on my phone.
- CHCameron Hanes
I don't get it.
- JRJoe Rogan
It's not even a different resolution.
- CHCameron Hanes
Hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
Like, what? "Oh, but it's- but it's not in your crypto wallet." Okay.
- CHCameron Hanes
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
I guess you win.
- NANarrator
I love this argument, it's fun.
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- NANarrator
But, like, that's the same, like... You have a screenshot of the Mona Lisa on your phone, you don't own the Mona Lisa. That's, like, that's where that argument comes.
- JRJoe Rogan
No, no, no, no, no, it's very different because the Mona Lisa is a physical painting made by a master artist that's in a frame, and you could look at it and you could ponder the thought behind it, the artistic expression, the technique in brushstrokes and painting. This guy from-
- NANarrator
What's-
- JRJoe Rogan
... hundreds and hundreds of years ago-
- NANarrator
Yeah.
- 11:13 – 17:57
UFO whistleblower theories and the ‘useful idiot’ possibility
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, he's looked into it the most. So you were saying that you're on the fence, off the fence about Grusch.
- NANarrator
Yeah, the- the story I was hearing is it's just- it's uh- it's a lot. I- with- I'm gonna skip a lot of it, but what I was reading and slash what they were saying, is that one possibility that could be going on is there is in... Uh, I think we're taking in some Graham Hancock stuff too. If- if people were around on earth 500,000 years ago-
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm-hmm.
- NANarrator
... in some way there was some split and a second set of humans continued on. And we're like in this interdimension space where they're both happening simultaneously. And that's where like if-
- JRJoe Rogan
He was saying this?
- NANarrator
No, no, no, no, uh, this is from the- I'm gathering this all from like that video. I'm adding in some of Graham Hancock's stuff too 'cause this kid had also interviewed him. Jesse Michaels on his- on his podcast.
- JRJoe Rogan
Okay.
- NANarrator
And they were talking about some of the same stuff. But something they said in the Grusch interview on his podcast was that, uh, an idea would be that these people exist on a- on like a split.
- GUGuest
... uh, timeline from us. Like, we had cataclysms and died, and repopulated and whatnot, and now we've ended in this place in 2023 with combustion engines and we're flying around. These people would have been in a different anti-gravity. Who knows what they figured out.
- JRJoe Rogan
And they went somewhere else?
- GUGuest
I think... I don't... Th- they're not even saying that. This is where, like, they're not gonna talk a- I don't... They haven't talked about that, but I think what they're saying or getting, or getting at maybe is that they're here, and that's why the nuclear thing is so, um, uh, important to them. They're on the same planet as us, and if we blow up the planet, it goes away for them too.
- JRJoe Rogan
So they're here, we just don't know where they are?
- GUGuest
And that's where the interdimension thing comes in. I, I... That's what I'm gathering out of what I've heard for-
- JRJoe Rogan
How high were you when you came up with this theory? (laughs)
- GUGuest
It's not a... I don't think I'm saying it's my theory. This is what they're sorta saying.
- JRJoe Rogan
I understand.
- GUGuest
And Grusch is sort of like, "That's an interesting thing you're saying."
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm.
- GUGuest
He's not confirming it with them or anything, but-
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm.
- GUGuest
... it was a... It's a lot to take in. That's definitely for sure.
- JRJoe Rogan
Nyeah, it's all a lot to take in. We... D- David Grusch is that UFO whistleblower-
- GUGuest
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
... that testified in front of Congress? It's hard to say, man. He- the thing about it is, I believe he's telling the truth as far as what he's experienced and the documents that he uncovered and the people that he talked to. But, how do you know whether or not they're just using him as a useful idiot to just get out some silly story-
- GUGuest
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
... because they're covering up for the fact that there's some very advanced drone system that the United States government has they're trying to keep under wraps? It might be both.
- GUGuest
Tough to know.
- JRJoe Rogan
It g- I, I think it's probably both things. You... Well, here's the thing.
- GUGuest
Hm.
- JRJoe Rogan
You're out in the woods all the time.
- 17:57 – 27:54
Health optimization over ‘normal’: stem cells, peptides, and distrust in conventional medicine
- GUGuest
Yeah. I'd like... So, but some housekeeping real quick. Thank you for getting me down here for the stem cells.
- JRJoe Rogan
My pleasure.
- GUGuest
So Ways2Well.
- JRJoe Rogan
Shout out to Ways2Well.
- GUGuest
Yeah. That's, that's good, and I'd (clears throat) , I think, uh, I, I like that, um, you know, I had Bloke's is kinda coming on too. They offer the same th- Wa- Ways2Well offers the same thing, but it seems like those type of...
- CHCameron Hanes
... outfits are really gonna gain popularity because of the distrust in the medical-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yes.
- CHCameron Hanes
... whatever, like your- your regular doctor that was telling you, "Oh, yeah, you gotta get this vaccine," this and that. And now it's, you know, obviously there's distrust there. So I think people are thinking, "Do I need a doctor? What, do I n- what's a doctor for? Just pushing prescriptions on me?" So now they can kinda take their health into their own hands, get their blood panels done, see where they are, um, you know, on a bunch of different markers. And that's what Ways2Well and Blokes does, and I think a lot of people are gonna be doing that instead of calling their- their bler- right family doctor.
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, a lot of family doctors, unfortunately, just don't have that knowledge base. They don't understand peptides.
- CHCameron Hanes
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
They'll tell you not to take things, and they don't have any knowledge of it themselves, and you talk to them and they have a potbelly. You know, "Well, you don't need any vitamins."
- CHCameron Hanes
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
"Or you can get everything you want from a balanced diet," while they're eating cheeseburgers. So like, it's like-
- CHCameron Hanes
Well... And they do that, your, like, your markers, and they're saying, "Well this is..." Say, with test, they'll say, "Well your testosterone is within-"
- JRJoe Rogan
A normal range.
- CHCameron Hanes
... normal range, yeah, normal compared to another fucking normal guy- (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- CHCameron Hanes
You see the normal American these days?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- CHCameron Hanes
I don't wanna be anywhere near that guy.
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.
- CHCameron Hanes
I wanna be m- like my own category. So-
- JRJoe Rogan
Optimized.
- CHCameron Hanes
Yeah, so yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- CHCameron Hanes
Optimized, um, built for performance.
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm-hmm.
- CHCameron Hanes
You know, get your body at the highest level, not compared to the average American.
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.
- CHCameron Hanes
So that's where... I don't know.
- 27:54 – 42:45
UFC talk: upcoming cards, short-notice risks, and champions’ wear-and-tear
- CHCameron Hanes
What's, uh, next big fight?
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, there's a nice card this, uh, next weekend in Austin that we're gonna go see.
- CHCameron Hanes
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
Pumped about that. That should be fun. But then the big one is Colby versus, um, uh-
- CHCameron Hanes
Leon.
- JRJoe Rogan
... Leon Edwards in Vegas. So for the welterweight title.
- CHCameron Hanes
Hear about that.
- JRJoe Rogan
And that's, that's a couple weeks from now, but that's a big one. That's a big one. That one's big. That one's exciting. Ooh, that's a good one. What else is that card? Pull up that card, Jamie.
- CHCameron Hanes
Tony.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, that's right, Tony and Paddy Pimblett. Tony's training with David Goggins, which is crazy.
- CHCameron Hanes
(laughs) I know.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, Pantoja versus Brandon Royval for the flyweight, uh, world title. And Shavkat Rakhmonov-
- CHCameron Hanes
Oh.
- JRJoe Rogan
... versus, uh, Wonderboy. Woo!
- CHCameron Hanes
That's gonna be a good one.
- JRJoe Rogan
And Vicente Luque versus Ian Garry. Woo! Those are good fights.
- CHCameron Hanes
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
That's a good fight. I'm very interested to see Tony after he's been training with David Goggins. There's a lot of, like, very mixed reviews about whether or not that would be a good thing or a bad thing for him.
- CHCameron Hanes
Yeah, I see ... I, I read a bunch of those comments.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, it's interesting.
- CHCameron Hanes
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
It's like ... Who else is on it? Oh, Josh Emmett's on that fight against Giga ... Oh, Giga Chikadze's on that fight too.
- CHCameron Hanes
Look, look at this card.
- JRJoe Rogan
Cody Garbrandt and Brian Kelleher. Oh, shit.
- CHCameron Hanes
This is all on the ... Oh-
- JRJoe Rogan
Dustin Jacoby and Alonzo Menifield. Wow, these are, these are good fucking cards, son.
- CHCameron Hanes
Yeah, it is.
- JRJoe Rogan
This is a good card. Holy shit.
- CHCameron Hanes
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Go all the way back down there again please. That card is fucking stacked.
- 42:45 – 46:40
David Goggins’ broken-knee grit and what ‘mind over pain’ really looks like
- JRJoe Rogan
The fucking guy's in pain walking, you know? It's like Goggins.
- CHCameron Hanes
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Like people know now because we talked about it, Goggins just got another fucking knee surgery.
- CHCameron Hanes
Yeah. (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
I mean, his knees-
- CHCameron Hanes
After Tony or before Tony?
- JRJoe Rogan
Before Tony.
- CHCameron Hanes
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
His knees are destroyed. They're destroyed. They, it's bone on bone.
- CHCameron Hanes
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
There's nothing going on there other than two bones banging into each other, and he's running thousands of miles. The doctor looked at David's knees and he said, "I don't understand how you can walk-"
- CHCameron Hanes
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
"... nevermind run 1,000 miles."
- CHCameron Hanes
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
Like how the fuck are you doing this? And it's just the mind.
- CHCameron Hanes
Yeah. He-
- JRJoe Rogan
And that's the same thing with Kamaru.
- CHCameron Hanes
Another level. Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
Kamaru just, he just like puts that shit aside.
- CHCameron Hanes
How do you think that... What do you think about Tony training with David? What do you think he's gonna do?
- JRJoe Rogan
I don't know. I don't know 'cause we've never seen anybody train with David before.
- CHCameron Hanes
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
You know, like you could say on one, on one hand, look, clearly when the two of them are training together, Dave is not struggling at all.
- CHCameron Hanes
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
And Tony is struggling. So there is definitely some ground to gain when it comes to endurance.
- CHCameron Hanes
Yeah. Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Or endurance-
- CHCameron Hanes
And mental strength.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yes.
- CHCameron Hanes
Yeah.
- 46:40 – 51:06
Joe’s comedian boot camp and functional strength: windmills, Turkish get-ups, and ‘base building’
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, most people, they don't understand what it's like to really test yourself and to really do something as difficult all the time. I'm doing this thing now (clears throat) where I'm, I'm running this boot camp for comedians.
- CHCameron Hanes
Yeah, I've heard of you-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- CHCameron Hanes
... talk about it.
- JRJoe Rogan
So I did it today.
- CHCameron Hanes
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
And so Derek Poston just joined today. Shout out to my man Derek. So Hasaan Ahmad, Derek, Brian Simpson, um, Duncan Trussell when he's in town, he wasn't in town today, and Shane Gillis. And we get after it.
- CHCameron Hanes
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
These guys are getting after it.
- CHCameron Hanes
That's awesome.
- JRJoe Rogan
And they start every day with 100 push-ups, 100 body weight squats. We do five sets. And I tell them, "You can't do 100, don't do 100. You could do five push-ups in a row and you're struggling, stop at five."
- CHCameron Hanes
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
The whole, I'm trying to build a base.
- CHCameron Hanes
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
So I said, "I don't want you to kill yourself. The whole idea here is we're just building a base, and we're gonna keep going on." And they've been doing it consistently through, this week it was four times a week.
- CHCameron Hanes
For how long?
- JRJoe Rogan
We did it four times this week. Uh, when we were with The Rock, we worked out for three hours. We did two hours of working out.
- CHCameron Hanes
No, but when did you start this, the boot camp? How long ago?
- JRJoe Rogan
Uh, four weeks. Four weeks now.
- CHCameron Hanes
Okay.
- JRJoe Rogan
So they're four weeks in.
- CHCameron Hanes
Yeah, nice.
- JRJoe Rogan
And we're very consistent.
- CHCameron Hanes
They should be seeing results then.
- JRJoe Rogan
They're seeing results.
- CHCameron Hanes
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
But they're seeing results in how they feel, like almost immediately.
- CHCameron Hanes
Oh, I bet. Bet.
- JRJoe Rogan
Because I'm not killing them. I'm not killing them, but when The Rock was here, I killed them.
- CHCameron Hanes
Yeah.
- 51:06 – 1:05:27
Social media ‘freak’ strength: Tom Haviland, Sam Sulek, steroids, and the cost of being massive
- CHCameron Hanes
No.
- JRJoe Rogan
Okay.
- CHCameron Hanes
Who's that?
- JRJoe Rogan
This guy's a real weirdo. He's a freak that lives in Australia.
- CHCameron Hanes
Oh.
- JRJoe Rogan
And he does these insane workouts and he puts them on Instagram. Go to his Instagram. And he wears like fucking flannel shirts and jeans and shit.
- CHCameron Hanes
Private now.
- JRJoe Rogan
Private now?
- CHCameron Hanes
I think.
- JRJoe Rogan
Is it?
- CHCameron Hanes
I don't know why. I mean ...
- JRJoe Rogan
Join it.
- CHCameron Hanes
Well, it's 'cause I can't get access to it until he approves it.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, shit. Hmm.
- CHCameron Hanes
Hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
Why is he private, Tom?
- CHCameron Hanes
I'll find out.
- JRJoe Rogan
I think because he doesn't want to be bothered, 'cause all he does is ... This guy's out in the outback fucking lifting homemade weights.
- CHCameron Hanes
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
He's six foot five, I think, and he's 300 pounds.
- CHCameron Hanes
God.
- JRJoe Rogan
And ju- just gigantic.
- CHCameron Hanes
(laughs) I want to see it.
- JRJoe Rogan
And the workouts that he got.
- CHCameron Hanes
Holy shit.
- JRJoe Rogan
And the fucking workouts that this guy does-
- CHCameron Hanes
Oh my God.
- JRJoe Rogan
... there's not a goddamn chance in hell he passed a piss test.
- CHCameron Hanes
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
I bet his piss melts Styrofoam.
- 1:05:27 – 1:19:28
Back to bowhunting tech: new Hoyt bows, broadheads, arrows, lighted nocks, and rangefinding trust
- CHCameron Hanes
Have you, have you shot your new bow yet?
- JRJoe Rogan
I have not. No.
- CHCameron Hanes
Your Alpha X?
- JRJoe Rogan
No, I've been too busy.
- CHCameron Hanes
What-
- JRJoe Rogan
Unfortunately. I'm suppo- I was suppo- I was gonna take it today, but obviously I had some stuff we had to do today.
- CHCameron Hanes
Mm-hmm. Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
But I'm gonna take it on Monday, go down to-
- CHCameron Hanes
It's a good bow.
- JRJoe Rogan
... Archery Country. Yeah, I'm very excited. Look, if it's better than last year's... Last year's models were better than the year before, which I don't know how they keep doing that.
- CHCameron Hanes
I don't either.
- JRJoe Rogan
But Hoyt keeps making better bows every year.
- CHCameron Hanes
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
They're just smoother and more accurate. Like, I shot my, um... Not this, this past year's bow, but the year before, I shot it one day just for goof. I said, "Let me just pick up my old bow-
- CHCameron Hanes
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
... and see how that shoots." It wasn't out of tune. It wasn't... But it was significant, like I could see the difference in accuracy and the feel in the hand. It was like-
- CHCameron Hanes
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
... a little more vibration in the hand, a little, a little more clunky in the draw cycle. And then I picked up last year's bow, and I was like, "Wow."
- CHCameron Hanes
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
You feel the smoothness of the draw cycle. And then it just f- I was more confident with it. It felt-
- CHCameron Hanes
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
... more accurate. It's crazy how they just keep making them better.
- CHCameron Hanes
I think when you're so dialed in with, with your bow, when you shoot as much as... It doesn't take much of a difference to feel it.
- JRJoe Rogan
Right. Right.
- CHCameron Hanes
You know what I mean? You shoot so much-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- CHCameron Hanes
... a little change, you're gonna be like, "Whoa."
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm-hmm.
- CHCameron Hanes
It feels like a lot, even though it's a little.
- JRJoe Rogan
But can you imagine being those engineers, and you've gotta, like, fine-tune-
