    Stem cell recovery rules, podcast gear, and the early JRE vibe

    1. NA

      (drumbeats) Joe Rogan podcast, check it out.

    2. The Joe Rogan Experience.

    3. JR

      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?

    4. CH

      (sighs) Are we live yet?

    5. JR

      (laughs) Yeah, we're live.

    6. CH

      Oh, we are?

    7. JR

      Yeah.

    8. CH

      Oh, yeah, I feel... I don't know, you said I can't do anything for a few days, though.

    9. JR

      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."

    10. CH

      Yeah.

    11. JR

      You, like, walk, but, you know-

    12. CH

      I can't do that.

    13. JR

      ... just let it heal. Let it heal.

    14. CH

      Eight weeks?

    15. JR

      (sings) I know it's hard.

    16. CH

      Hey, could I get a little more volume?

    17. JR

      Oh, you can turn it right there.

    18. CH

      Oh, wait.

    19. JR

      Yeah, on that little thing.

    20. CH

      Oh, here?

    21. JR

      Yeah. We're like a radio station now. We got, like, real equipment.

    22. CH

      Okay.

    23. JR

      You got a cough button too-

    24. CH

      I do, yeah.

    25. JR

      ... if you have to cough.

    26. CH

      (coughs)

    27. JR

      See?

    28. CH

      (laughs)

    29. JR

      Pretty cool.

    30. CH

      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-

  2. 1:483:51

    Crypto skepticism: FTX fallout, sponsorship offers, and why Joe stayed away

    1. JR

      But he's a, like, super nerd. He's into all that crypto shit. I just, ugh, it's too much for me.

    2. CH

      I like bow hunting, that's all.

    3. JR

      Yeah. I don't have time.

    4. CH

      That's all I'm into.

    5. JR

      I don't have time for this crypto stuff.

    6. CH

      Right.

    7. JR

      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."

    8. CH

      Yes.

    9. JR

      "Exactly."

    10. CH

      See?

    11. JR

      "That's why I didn't get involved in any of that shit."

    12. CH

      Right.

    13. JR

      There was a few of those companies that tried to get me involved in sponsors-

    14. CH

      Mm-hmm.

    15. JR

      ... and stuff like that, and do ads, and I was like, "What are you doing? What is this? Coins?"

    16. CH

      And also those- what about those card things?

    17. JR

      Oh, uh, you mean an NFT?

    18. CH

      Yeah.

    19. JR

      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-

    20. CH

      Oh.

    21. JR

      ... this guy Beeple. And Beeple, who is this, uh, really cool artist who puts up a new piece of art every day.

    22. CH

      Oh.

    23. JR

      365 days a year he does stuff like that. And it's all- have you ever seen his stuff?

    24. CH

      I think maybe. But-

    25. JR

      Pull up- pull up Beeple's Instagram, it's wild, wild shit.

    26. CH

      Yeah, I'll have a look.

    27. JR

      But he actually has a gallery, and in his gallery he has things like this, but enormous ones.

    28. CH

      Mm-hmm.

    29. JR

      Like big giant things that he's made-

    30. CH

      Mm-hmm.

  3. 3:5111:13

    NFTs: Beeple vs. Bored Apes and the “what do you actually own?” debate

    1. JR

      So, that I understand. That is digital art. I understand that.

    2. CH

      Mm-hmm.

    3. JR

      But there's a lot of the NFTs, like the Bored Ape Yacht Club.

    4. CH

      Yeah.

    5. JR

      I was like, "What is a, what is a, what?"

    6. CH

      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?"

    7. JR

      (laughs)

    8. CH

      (laughs) And so, can I make a hunting photo in NFT and just make a bunch of money, or how does this work?

    9. JR

      I think a lot of people thought that at first.

    10. CH

      Mm-hmm.

    11. JR

      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.

    12. CH

      Yeah. It's weird.

    13. JR

      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.

    14. CH

      Yeah.

    15. JR

      I could get that-

    16. CH

      I don't get it.

    17. JR

      ... and then it's on my phone.

    18. CH

      I don't get it.

    19. JR

      It's not even a different resolution.

    20. CH

      Hmm.

    21. JR

      Like, what? "Oh, but it's- but it's not in your crypto wallet." Okay.

    22. CH

      (laughs)

    23. JR

      I guess you win.

    24. NA

      I love this argument, it's fun.

    25. JR

      (laughs)

    26. NA

      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.

    27. JR

      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-

    28. NA

      What's-

    29. JR

      ... hundreds and hundreds of years ago-

    30. NA

      Yeah.

  4. 11:1317:57

    UFO whistleblower theories and the ‘useful idiot’ possibility

    1. JR

      Yeah, he's looked into it the most. So you were saying that you're on the fence, off the fence about Grusch.

    2. NA

      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-

    3. JR

      Mm-hmm.

    4. NA

      ... 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-

    5. JR

      He was saying this?

    6. NA

      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.

    7. JR

      Okay.

    8. NA

      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.

    9. GU

      ... 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.

    10. JR

      And they went somewhere else?

    11. GU

      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.

    12. JR

      So they're here, we just don't know where they are?

    13. GU

      And that's where the interdimension thing comes in. I, I... That's what I'm gathering out of what I've heard for-

    14. JR

      How high were you when you came up with this theory? (laughs)

    15. GU

      It's not a... I don't think I'm saying it's my theory. This is what they're sorta saying.

    16. JR

      I understand.

    17. GU

      And Grusch is sort of like, "That's an interesting thing you're saying."

    18. JR

      Mm.

    19. GU

      He's not confirming it with them or anything, but-

    20. JR

      Mm.

    21. GU

      ... it was a... It's a lot to take in. That's definitely for sure.

    22. JR

      Nyeah, it's all a lot to take in. We... D- David Grusch is that UFO whistleblower-

    23. GU

      Mm-hmm.

    24. JR

      ... 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-

    25. GU

      Mm-hmm.

    26. JR

      ... 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.

    27. GU

      Tough to know.

    28. JR

      It g- I, I think it's probably both things. You... Well, here's the thing.

    29. GU

      Hm.

    30. JR

      You're out in the woods all the time.

  5. 17:5727:54

    Health optimization over ‘normal’: stem cells, peptides, and distrust in conventional medicine

    1. GU

      Yeah. I'd like... So, but some housekeeping real quick. Thank you for getting me down here for the stem cells.

    2. JR

      My pleasure.

    3. GU

      So Ways2Well.

    4. JR

      Shout out to Ways2Well.

    5. GU

      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...

    6. CH

      ... outfits are really gonna gain popularity because of the distrust in the medical-

    7. JR

      Yes.

    8. CH

      ... 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.

    9. JR

      Well, a lot of family doctors, unfortunately, just don't have that knowledge base. They don't understand peptides.

    10. CH

      Yeah.

    11. JR

      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."

    12. CH

      Mm-hmm.

    13. JR

      "Or you can get everything you want from a balanced diet," while they're eating cheeseburgers. So like, it's like-

    14. CH

      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-"

    15. JR

      A normal range.

    16. CH

      ... normal range, yeah, normal compared to another fucking normal guy- (laughs)

    17. JR

      (laughs)

    18. CH

      You see the normal American these days?

    19. JR

      Yeah.

    20. CH

      I don't wanna be anywhere near that guy.

    21. JR

      Right.

    22. CH

      I wanna be m- like my own category. So-

    23. JR

      Optimized.

    24. CH

      Yeah, so yeah.

    25. JR

      Yeah.

    26. CH

      Optimized, um, built for performance.

    27. JR

      Mm-hmm.

    28. CH

      You know, get your body at the highest level, not compared to the average American.

    29. JR

      Right.

    30. CH

      So that's where... I don't know.

  6. 27:5442:45

    UFC talk: upcoming cards, short-notice risks, and champions’ wear-and-tear

    1. CH

      What's, uh, next big fight?

    2. JR

      Well, there's a nice card this, uh, next weekend in Austin that we're gonna go see.

    3. CH

      Mm-hmm.

    4. JR

      Pumped about that. That should be fun. But then the big one is Colby versus, um, uh-

    5. CH

      Leon.

    6. JR

      ... Leon Edwards in Vegas. So for the welterweight title.

    7. CH

      Hear about that.

    8. JR

      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.

    9. CH

      Tony.

    10. JR

      Oh, that's right, Tony and Paddy Pimblett. Tony's training with David Goggins, which is crazy.

    11. CH

      (laughs) I know.

    12. JR

      Oh, Pantoja versus Brandon Royval for the flyweight, uh, world title. And Shavkat Rakhmonov-

    13. CH

      Oh.

    14. JR

      ... versus, uh, Wonderboy. Woo!

    15. CH

      That's gonna be a good one.

    16. JR

      And Vicente Luque versus Ian Garry. Woo! Those are good fights.

    17. CH

      Yeah.

    18. JR

      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.

    19. CH

      Yeah, I see ... I, I read a bunch of those comments.

    20. JR

      Yeah, it's interesting.

    21. CH

      Mm-hmm.

    22. JR

      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.

    23. CH

      Look, look at this card.

    24. JR

      Cody Garbrandt and Brian Kelleher. Oh, shit.

    25. CH

      This is all on the ... Oh-

    26. JR

      Dustin Jacoby and Alonzo Menifield. Wow, these are, these are good fucking cards, son.

    27. CH

      Yeah, it is.

    28. JR

      This is a good card. Holy shit.

    29. CH

      Yeah.

    30. JR

      Go all the way back down there again please. That card is fucking stacked.

  7. 42:4546:40

    David Goggins’ broken-knee grit and what ‘mind over pain’ really looks like

    1. JR

      The fucking guy's in pain walking, you know? It's like Goggins.

    2. CH

      Yeah.

    3. JR

      Like people know now because we talked about it, Goggins just got another fucking knee surgery.

    4. CH

      Yeah. (laughs)

    5. JR

      I mean, his knees-

    6. CH

      After Tony or before Tony?

    7. JR

      Before Tony.

    8. CH

      Yeah.

    9. JR

      His knees are destroyed. They're destroyed. They, it's bone on bone.

    10. CH

      Mm-hmm.

    11. JR

      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-"

    12. CH

      Yeah.

    13. JR

      "... nevermind run 1,000 miles."

    14. CH

      Right.

    15. JR

      Like how the fuck are you doing this? And it's just the mind.

    16. CH

      Yeah. He-

    17. JR

      And that's the same thing with Kamaru.

    18. CH

      Another level. Mm-hmm.

    19. JR

      Kamaru just, he just like puts that shit aside.

    20. CH

      How do you think that... What do you think about Tony training with David? What do you think he's gonna do?

    21. JR

      I don't know. I don't know 'cause we've never seen anybody train with David before.

    22. CH

      Yeah.

    23. JR

      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.

    24. CH

      Mm-hmm.

    25. JR

      And Tony is struggling. So there is definitely some ground to gain when it comes to endurance.

    26. CH

      Yeah. Yeah.

    27. JR

      Or endurance-

    28. CH

      And mental strength.

    29. JR

      Yes.

    30. CH

      Yeah.

  8. 46:4051:06

    Joe’s comedian boot camp and functional strength: windmills, Turkish get-ups, and ‘base building’

    1. JR

      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.

    2. CH

      Yeah, I've heard of you-

    3. JR

      Yeah.

    4. CH

      ... talk about it.

    5. JR

      So I did it today.

    6. CH

      Yeah.

    7. JR

      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.

    8. CH

      Mm-hmm.

    9. JR

      These guys are getting after it.

    10. CH

      That's awesome.

    11. JR

      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."

    12. CH

      Yeah.

    13. JR

      The whole, I'm trying to build a base.

    14. CH

      Right.

    15. JR

      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.

    16. CH

      For how long?

    17. JR

      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.

    18. CH

      No, but when did you start this, the boot camp? How long ago?

    19. JR

      Uh, four weeks. Four weeks now.

    20. CH

      Okay.

    21. JR

      So they're four weeks in.

    22. CH

      Yeah, nice.

    23. JR

      And we're very consistent.

    24. CH

      They should be seeing results then.

    25. JR

      They're seeing results.

    26. CH

      Yeah.

    27. JR

      But they're seeing results in how they feel, like almost immediately.

    28. CH

      Oh, I bet. Bet.

    29. JR

      Because I'm not killing them. I'm not killing them, but when The Rock was here, I killed them.

    30. CH

      Yeah.

    Social media ‘freak’ strength: Tom Haviland, Sam Sulek, steroids, and the cost of being massive

    1. CH

      No.

    2. JR

      Okay.

    3. CH

      Who's that?

    4. JR

      This guy's a real weirdo. He's a freak that lives in Australia.

    5. CH

      Oh.

    6. JR

      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.

    7. CH

      Private now.

    8. JR

      Private now?

    9. CH

      I think.

    10. JR

      Is it?

    11. CH

      I don't know why. I mean ...

    12. JR

      Join it.

    13. CH

      Well, it's 'cause I can't get access to it until he approves it.

    14. JR

      Oh, shit. Hmm.

    15. CH

      Hmm.

    16. JR

      Why is he private, Tom?

    17. CH

      I'll find out.

    18. JR

      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.

    19. CH

      (laughs)

    20. JR

      He's six foot five, I think, and he's 300 pounds.

    21. CH

      God.

    22. JR

      And ju- just gigantic.

    23. CH

      (laughs) I want to see it.

    24. JR

      And the workouts that he got.

    25. CH

      Holy shit.

    26. JR

      And the fucking workouts that this guy does-

    27. CH

      Oh my God.

    28. JR

      ... there's not a goddamn chance in hell he passed a piss test.

    29. CH

      (laughs)

    30. JR

      I bet his piss melts Styrofoam.

    Back to bowhunting tech: new Hoyt bows, broadheads, arrows, lighted nocks, and rangefinding trust

    1. CH

      Have you, have you shot your new bow yet?

    2. JR

      I have not. No.

    3. CH

      Your Alpha X?

    4. JR

      No, I've been too busy.

    5. CH

      What-

    6. JR

      Unfortunately. I'm suppo- I was suppo- I was gonna take it today, but obviously I had some stuff we had to do today.

    7. CH

      Mm-hmm. Yeah.

    8. JR

      But I'm gonna take it on Monday, go down to-

    9. CH

      It's a good bow.

    10. JR

      ... 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.

    11. CH

      I don't either.

    12. JR

      But Hoyt keeps making better bows every year.

    13. CH

      Mm-hmm.

    14. JR

      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-

    15. CH

      Yeah.

    16. JR

      ... 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-

    17. CH

      Yeah.

    18. JR

      ... 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."

    19. CH

      Yeah.

    20. JR

      You feel the smoothness of the draw cycle. And then it just f- I was more confident with it. It felt-

    21. CH

      Yeah.

    22. JR

      ... more accurate. It's crazy how they just keep making them better.

    23. CH

      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.

    24. JR

      Right. Right.

    25. CH

      You know what I mean? You shoot so much-

    26. JR

      Yeah.

    27. CH

      ... a little change, you're gonna be like, "Whoa."

    28. JR

      Mm-hmm.

    29. CH

      It feels like a lot, even though it's a little.

    30. JR

      But can you imagine being those engineers, and you've gotta, like, fine-tune-
