Okay.

Oh, hi.

Hi.

Whoa.

Hi, hi, hi.
- JRJoe Rogan
Welcome to town.

Thanks.
- JRJoe Rogan
Like, legit, you guys are here now.

(exhales)
- KCKim Congdon
Yes.
- SWSara Weinshenk
We're here now.
- JRJoe Rogan
How's it feel?
- SWSara Weinshenk
It feels good.
- JRJoe Rogan
Have you said "y'all" yet?
- SWSara Weinshenk
Y'all?
- KCKim Congdon
I've been saying y'all.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah?
- KCKim Congdon
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
When did you start?
- KCKim Congdon
I'm from Florida.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, right.
- KCKim Congdon
Yeah.
- SWSara Weinshenk
Y'all.
- JRJoe Rogan
You gotta like... Florida's weird. It's like-
- 1:15 – 4:12
Redneck vs. hillbilly etiquette (and an Ozark scene gone nuclear)
- KCKim Congdon
I like the, the video that's going viral right now with the redneck dude, and he goes, "I don't care what you call me. Don't call me that."
- SWSara Weinshenk
(laughs)
- KCKim Congdon
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
What does he say?
- SWSara Weinshenk
He says, "You can call me anything you want."
- KCKim Congdon
"Anything you want, but don't call me that."
- JRJoe Rogan
"But don't call me that."
- SWSara Weinshenk
(laughs)
- KCKim Congdon
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Don't call him what?
- KCKim Congdon
(laughs) I don't know.
- SWSara Weinshenk
I don't know.
- KCKim Congdon
I'm guessing the N-word.
- SWSara Weinshenk
I'm, I'm... And I'm guessing gay.
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- SWSara Weinshenk
I'm guessing gay.
- JRJoe Rogan
But isn't there, like... That was the thing about that mo- that show, Ozark. There's a distinction between a redneck and a hillbilly.
- SWSara Weinshenk
There is.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, when you're a big guy and someone calls you Hoss, Bubba, or Big Boy.
- NANarrator
(laughs) You can call me anything you want, but don't call me that.
- SWSara Weinshenk
(laughs)
- KCKim Congdon
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Wow. That's a real guy.
- SWSara Weinshenk
Yep.
- KCKim Congdon
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
That's a real guy.
- KCKim Congdon
Uh-
- JRJoe Rogan
But remember in the mo-... Did you guys watch, uh, Ozark?
- SWSara Weinshenk
Mm-mm.
- JRJoe Rogan
That Netflix show?
- 4:12 – 5:52
Why comedians love acting: empathy, perspective, and “thinking in gray”
- KCKim Congdon
I want to act so bad. That looks so fun.
- SWSara Weinshenk
That does look fun.
- KCKim Congdon
You don't like... Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
It does look fun.
- NANarrator
Yeah. Acting? So fun.
- JRJoe Rogan
Really?
- KCKim Congdon
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Have you done it?
- NANarrator
Yeah.
- KCKim Congdon
I love it.
- JRJoe Rogan
You love it?
- KCKim Congdon
I-
- SWSara Weinshenk
We love it.
- KCKim Congdon
I lo-... I love it. Like-
- JRJoe Rogan
What parts do you love?
- KCKim Congdon
... I hate to say this. Sometimes I like it more than standup.
- JRJoe Rogan
Damn.
- KCKim Congdon
Mm-hmm.
- SWSara Weinshenk
I-
- KCKim Congdon
I do.
- SWSara Weinshenk
I just think it's just, it's just different. They're just different. I like being someone else other than myself and, like, become-
- JRJoe Rogan
Hmm.
- SWSara Weinshenk
... and being, like, becoming a different character and, like, actually doing that.
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.
- SWSara Weinshenk
And I used to do it a lot before I started standup, and then I fell in love with standup, and now I'm just like, "Standup, standup, standup." You know?
- KCKim Congdon
You know, I kind of feel the op- I kind of feel the exact opposite. I like finding a character and finding myself in them.
- JRJoe Rogan
Hmm.
- KCKim Congdon
Like, instead of not being myself, I like, like, finding a character-
- SWSara Weinshenk
Well, that-
- KCKim Congdon
... and then seeing how, like, I would be them.
- 5:52 – 8:54
Scam calls, leaked numbers, and the dark side of Instagram access
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm. (phone chimes)
- KCKim Congdon
Oh, sorry. I, uh...
- JRJoe Rogan
Ah.
- NANarrator
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- SWSara Weinshenk
Who, who doesn't put their phone on do not disturb?
- KCKim Congdon
Dude, I gotta tell you, I don't know who this is, it's not a number, but-... the f- the caller ID says, "Try To Judge Me, Incorporated."
- JRJoe Rogan
Whoa.
- KCKim Congdon
(laughs) I don't-
- SWSara Weinshenk
Wait, that's so weird.
- JRJoe Rogan
That's who's calling you?
- KCKim Congdon
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
You should screenshot that.
- KCKim Congdon
I am going to.
- SWSara Weinshenk
That used to be... When I was in my 20s, I tried (laughs) to start a website called trytojudgeme.com with Mel.
- KCKim Congdon
It's you calling me.
- SWSara Weinshenk
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- KCKim Congdon
Sorry.
- SWSara Weinshenk
That's so weird. Um, but yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, whoever the... Don't get involved with them. (laughs)
- KCKim Congdon
No.
- SWSara Weinshenk
Try, try to judge me.
- KCKim Congdon
But two was a two.
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs) Starting out at 10.
- SWSara Weinshenk
(laughs)
- KCKim Congdon
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Like, whoa. What are we doing? You're just calling me.
- SWSara Weinshenk
(laughs)
- KCKim Congdon
Are we in a fight already? Whoever this is.
- JRJoe Rogan
Their whole name is an argument.
- 8:54 – 9:40
Loneliness, incels, and a detour into ‘post-nut clarity’ as harm reduction
- SWSara Weinshenk
They'll find a way to show you their dicks. (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Imagine being a dude that like just sprints to jerk off like the moment people are staring at him. (laughs)
- KCKim Congdon
So horny.
- SWSara Weinshenk
Like, "It's my chance!"
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- KCKim Congdon
You know what? If you're that horny, sprint to jerk off. Do what you need to do to not shoot up a school. I don't know what to tell you.
- JRJoe Rogan
Dude, I don't think it's horny people shooting up those schools.
- KCKim Congdon
I think it is.
- JRJoe Rogan
I think it's super depressed people.
- KCKim Congdon
But a little horny too.
- JRJoe Rogan
Why horny?
- KCKim Congdon
'Cause they're probably... That's probably a big r-
- SWSara Weinshenk
'Cause if you just came-
- KCKim Congdon
If you're having regular sex, you're less depressed.
- SWSara Weinshenk
If you just came, you're less likely... Like right after, post-nut clarity. No one's gonna shoot up a school right after they just jizzed.
- KCKim Congdon
Think of the children.
- SWSara Weinshenk
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, that's probably also part of the depression is that they're not getting any affection.
- SWSara Weinshenk
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
You know?
- KCKim Congdon
Hug your local incel.
- JRJoe Rogan
There's some broken humans out there, and they're-
- KCKim Congdon
There are. There's also just a lot of people that are lonely.
- JRJoe Rogan
And they're medicated.
- KCKim Congdon
Yeah.
- 9:40 – 18:26
The ‘blind guy’ assault story at Sony Hall—and the blue checkmark aftermath
- SWSara Weinshenk
Well, yeah. You know about broken people when we tried to do... When we did... When you opened for Joey.
- KCKim Congdon
Yeah.
- SWSara Weinshenk
Do you know this story?
- KCKim Congdon
How I got my blue check mark?
- JRJoe Rogan
What happened?
- KCKim Congdon
You know how I got verified on Instagram?
- JRJoe Rogan
How?
- KCKim Congdon
Okay. I've been trying to get verified on Instagram for like 10 years, sending in... You send in a stupid fucking thing, and you send in the articles that you've been mentioned in, and they would always ignore it. And then last year, in November...
- SWSara Weinshenk
It was October.
- KCKim Congdon
In October.
- SWSara Weinshenk
We opened for Joey at Sony Hall.
- KCKim Congdon
At Broadway, sold-out show.
- SWSara Weinshenk
We were so excited.
- KCKim Congdon
I had the best set. I just had like one of the best sets of my life in this sold-out theater. Everyone's like, "Whoa!" Like literally standing ovation, right? I get off stage. I'm going to get my camera that's on a tripod in the back, and like during the chaos of people being like, "Great job!" You know, you have to walk past people to get... walk out. And then, um, and some dude pokes my vagina. Like...
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, yes. I did hear about this.
- KCKim Congdon
Did you hear this story? Yeah. So he does that, but then when I turn around to see who does it, he acts like he's blind and disabled. So then immediately, I'm like kind of just like my adrenaline's pumping just from the set itself and then that just happened, and then I see that it's a blind person. So I'm just like overwhelmed. And then people are trying to like say hi, and you know, whatever, after my set. So I go to sit with Sarah, and I go, "Sarah, like some blind dude just accidentally poked me in the vagina." And she goes, "You got assaulted." (laughs)
- SWSara Weinshenk
(laughs) Time out.
- KCKim Congdon
(laughs) She goes, she goes-
- SWSara Weinshenk
I'm like, "What the fuck are you talking about a blind guy touched you in the pussy?"
- KCKim Congdon
She brings me down to reali- Where I'm like... I have like a moment like That's So Raven where I go like, "Mm," and I go like, "I got touched." And it turns into like an... like a whole thing.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, God.
- KCKim Congdon
'Cause now I'm like kinda pissed.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- KCKim Congdon
That I even let it... Well, 'cause I'm like-
- JRJoe Rogan
Is the blind guy walking around still?
- KCKim Congdon
So, uh, now-
- SWSara Weinshenk
This story gets crazier, Joe.
- KCKim Congdon
So now Joey's on stage. So I'm like, "I have an hour to find this guy. He came for Joey."
- SWSara Weinshenk
There's people in headsets.
- KCKim Congdon
There's people... This theater's sold out. They're in suits and little, you know, the earpieces that they bring for the president.
- 18:26 – 20:22
Paid verification, fake authority, and Russian troll farms gaming social media
- JRJoe Rogan
Isn't it weird that Twit- like, Twitter, you pay for a check mark, right?
- KCKim Congdon
Yeah.
- SWSara Weinshenk
Yeah. That went-
- JRJoe Rogan
That's weird.
- KCKim Congdon
And Instagram now.
- JRJoe Rogan
Instagram too?
- KCKim Congdon
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
So does that mean ... But you can pretend to be, can you pretend to be somebody and get a check mark?
- KCKim Congdon
Not really, 'cause I mean, you can, you can, no, you, anyone can get a check mark.
- JRJoe Rogan
Like what is really-
- SWSara Weinshenk
It's kinda obvious when someone's pretending, though.
- KCKim Congdon
Well-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, but a verification, what does it, what does it mean? Like what does-
- KCKim Congdon
Nothing anymore.
- JRJoe Rogan
So like if you have just a regular account and you have a blue check mark, does it give you access to other things? Like what's the, the point of it?
- SWSara Weinshenk
I think it just like there's-
- KCKim Congdon
To have one.
- SWSara Weinshenk
There's people that get blue check marks and then they try to like reach out to people who also have blue check marks to like collaborate. You know what I mean?
- JRJoe Rogan
Whoa.
- SWSara Weinshenk
And they're like, "Oh, I have a blue check mark, so I'm really official now." And it makes it like seem like-
- KCKim Congdon
But you can tell 'cause their, they have like 16 likes.
- JRJoe Rogan
What u-
- SWSara Weinshenk
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
What used to make sense is if it was, if like the Sarah Weinshank Twitter account was verified, 'cause you're a person, a public person.
- SWSara Weinshenk
Right. Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
So that makes sense. That should be verified.
- SWSara Weinshenk
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
Like everybody knows this is her, so if there's a fake one, which there probably is a bunch of them, everybody knows the difference between the real and the fake one. The real one is the blue check mark.
- SWSara Weinshenk
Exactly.
- JRJoe Rogan
But if you could just buy a blue check mark, what does that mean now?
- 20:22 – 23:40
Solar flares, GPS blackouts, and cosmic fragility: sun, moon, and survival math
- KCKim Congdon
I'm waiting for the day the internet, the solar flare happens. We all go down.
- JRJoe Rogan
Um, that could happen.
- KCKim Congdon
That could happen.
- JRJoe Rogan
That's very likely.
- KCKim Congdon
When?
- SWSara Weinshenk
Very soon, right?
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, it's ve- very unpredictable how the sun works. I mean, not how it works like physically to understand it, but like whether or not you get flares. And some of these flares, have you ever seen what it looks like when you see a solar flare, uh, superimposed with a picture of Earth, like the size of Earth? It's wild how big these things are.
- SWSara Weinshenk
Really?
- JRJoe Rogan
They, they, th- they are so huge. The fucking sun is so gigantic.
- KCKim Congdon
Ugh.
- JRJoe Rogan
And it's not even a big sun. It's so insane when you look at it in comparison to the rest of the solar system.
- KCKim Congdon
Is this tomorrow?
- SWSara Weinshenk
(laughs)
- KCKim Congdon
What?
- JRJoe Rogan
There's a solar flare tomorrow?
- KCKim Congdon
For tomorrow.
- NANarrator
Goddammit now.
- JRJoe Rogan
Goddammit, Jamie. There's a solar flare tomorrow?
- KCKim Congdon
You know, I always said that I wanted the end of the world to happen when I'm near Joe Rogan. (laughs)
- SWSara Weinshenk
(laughs)
- NANarrator
Goddammit.
- JRJoe Rogan
So just stay on alert. Listen, I, we, we'll, we'll, we'll be okay.
- KCKim Congdon
Ha. Sweetie, I'll be banging on your gate or wherever you live.
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- NANarrator
(laughs)
- KCKim Congdon
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Come on in. I'll show you my zero in rifle.
- NANarrator
(laughs)
- SWSara Weinshenk
(laughs)
- KCKim Congdon
Just me and my mom. Her hair is not blue anymore.
- 23:40 – 31:30
Space visuals: Webb telescope data, CGI colorization, and ‘Samsung moon’ fakery
- NANarrator
I was gonna ask if, uh, you remind me of this video I saw just recently. Have you seen this before?
- JRJoe Rogan
Fresh take on the origin of Earth's moon. Oh, Jesus.
- KCKim Congdon
That's a jellyfish.
- NANarrator
This is the CGI of what ... This is like when the Big Bang happened. So this is Earth, this glowing ball moving.
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.
- KCKim Congdon
Okay, cool.
- NANarrator
And something went by it and hit it.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- NANarrator
And that created the moon, and that's what's still like, these are-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- NANarrator
... giant, what would've been an asteroid.
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, that's, that's Earth One and Earth Two. That's what the-
- NANarrator
Look, it just reabsorbed.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- NANarrator
And that, this is gonna be the moon here.
... but, like, that happened over, you know, thousands and thousands and thousands of years.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. Yeah, that's what they think.
- NANarrator
The moon's for sure a woman. We've talked about it before.
- JRJoe Rogan
Look at that, like, that's what happened, two planets collided, kids.
- NANarrator
It's kind of sexual.
- JRJoe Rogan
Holy shit is it sexual, because it created everything.
- NANarrator
They smashed-
- JRJoe Rogan
Listen, that thing-
- NANarrator
... and it's the same thing as the other things. Everything's the same. Not to be so high about it.
- JRJoe Rogan
What do you mean?
- NANarrator
(sighs) It's the same thing as everything else. It's literally ... it literally is sexual. It's like having two people-
- JRJoe Rogan
It is.
- NANarrator
... come together and have a child.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. Well-
- NANarrator
It's trippy.
- 31:30 – 34:15
Aging reversal, death anxiety, gratitude—and comedians as a ‘clubhouse’
- JRJoe Rogan
Inside our lifetime, they're gonna reverse aging.
- KCKim Congdon
Hell yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Inside our lifetime. Inside our lifetime.
- KCKim Congdon
I've actually always believed that, so I really like to hear you say that. I'm b- been terrified of death my whole life-
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm-hmm.
- KCKim Congdon
... and I've just convinced myself to feel better that, by the time I'm that old, I can go back.
- JRJoe Rogan
(smacks lips) I think they're working really hard on it, and they're coming very close. And I think there's gonna be some improvements in w- whether it's... You know, whether it's m- pharmaceutical drugs or medical technology. They're gonna figure something out.
- KCKim Congdon
'Cause it's a simulation, and we don't actually ever end.
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, that's what Bert Kreischer says. He goes, he goes, "I don't believe you die. Prove it."
- KCKim Congdon
Yeah. Though that's a thing comics have 'cause they're-
- JRJoe Rogan
"I don't think you have to die."
- SWSara Weinshenk
(laughs)
- KCKim Congdon
That's... (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Like, what is she talking about?
- KCKim Congdon
No, I've read, I've read into that. That's mental illness that comics have. I have that too.
- JRJoe Rogan
Hmm.
- KCKim Congdon
I'm like, "I'll never die." It's like you f- are, like, in such denial.
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- SWSara Weinshenk
I've accepted it.
- KCKim Congdon
No, I'm like-
- SWSara Weinshenk
I'm like-
- JRJoe Rogan
Death?
- SWSara Weinshenk
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah?
- SWSara Weinshenk
I feel like i- i- if you think of the fact that you're gonna die, it makes you live every day differently.
- KCKim Congdon
No.
- JRJoe Rogan
Um...
- SWSara Weinshenk
I, that's how I feel.
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, it definitely will if you feel that way.
- SWSara Weinshenk
Yeah, I think about it all the time, and instead of, like, fearing it, I'm like, "Okay, well-"
- 34:15 – 38:55
Reincarnation questions, shared dream locations, and Joe’s demon-horror riff
- SWSara Weinshenk
I have a question.
- JRJoe Rogan
Okay.
- SWSara Weinshenk
Do, do you believe in reincarnation?
- JRJoe Rogan
I don't not believe in it.
- SWSara Weinshenk
Do you think you were something else in a past life?
- JRJoe Rogan
I don't know.
- SWSara Weinshenk
Sometimes I think I was a 1950s housewife in a past life.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh.
- SWSara Weinshenk
Like I'm overly connected to that time period, and I'm like, "Was I a 1950s housewife last time?"
- KCKim Congdon
She cums when she gets hit. (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Is this from dreams?
- SWSara Weinshenk
Yeah. (laughs)
- KCKim Congdon
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Dreams... Like what... Y- do you ever wonder, like, what... If... Do you ever have repeating dreams?
- KCKim Congdon
Yeah.
- SWSara Weinshenk
Yeah. Oh my gosh.
- KCKim Congdon
I had to see a doctor 'cause I had the same dream for five years.
- JRJoe Rogan
What is it?
- KCKim Congdon
I was at, at this beach. It was my college town, and I was at this beach, and I would be in a haunted hote- I would have to stay at this haunted place that I was moving into.
- JRJoe Rogan
Hmm.
- KCKim Congdon
But the beach was beautiful, like it was like a paradise. But every night I was, like, scared.
- SWSara Weinshenk
But I als-
- JRJoe Rogan
Hmm.
- SWSara Weinshenk
Remember we found out I was also having the same dream?
- KCKim Congdon
Yeah.
- SWSara Weinshenk
We were going to the same places in our dreams.
- KCKim Congdon
But I also saw on TikTok that a lot of people were going to the same dream that I was going to.
- JRJoe Rogan
What?
- KCKim Congdon
Yeah.
- SWSara Weinshenk
Yeah.
- 38:55 – 44:46
Grief, intuition, Adderall withdrawal psychosis, and the productivity trap
- KCKim Congdon
(laughs) Yeah, no, fucked up dreams. You know, I had a friend pass away, like, seven years ago, and that, this is really, this is scary. Not scary, it's pretty trippy, but very true. I was dating someone at this time and he was staying with me, and I had, I never had night terrors where I woke out of, up out of my sleep ever in my entire life. And I had one one night where I woke up and I, 'cause I had a dream that someone came in my room while I was watching TV at night in my bed, and they were wearing a hoodie. I couldn't see their face. And their face was, like, blacked out, and they sat next to me in bed and then pulled out a gun and shot themselves in the head and died next to me.
- SWSara Weinshenk
Mm-mm.
- KCKim Congdon
And it was someone... And I could tell it was someone I cared about because I wasn't scared when they were sitting next to me. It felt like a friend. And I said, like, "Why did you do that in my dream?" And the person said, "I'm sorry. I'm dying." And then t- three hours later, I got a call that my best friend died. And that was the dream I had that night, and it was the only dream that's ever woken me up out of my sleep-
- SWSara Weinshenk
Ugh.
- KCKim Congdon
... where I was, like, so terrified, I woke up.
- SWSara Weinshenk
Kim, Kimma is a little intuitive.
- KCKim Congdon
It was really weird.
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, Kim's a little nutty.
- SWSara Weinshenk
(laughs) She is.
- JRJoe Rogan
And most nutty people, they, they can sense some things that m- Like, you ever wonder, like, schizophrenics, when they're running around talking to themselves, "What's-
- KCKim Congdon
Are you saying I'm schizophrenic? (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
No, no, no, no, I'm not. I'm not.
- KCKim Congdon
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
But have you ever wondered, maybe someone's talking back to them?
- KCKim Congdon
I f- I think that all the time.
- SWSara Weinshenk
Well, I've-
- KCKim Congdon
'Cause sometimes I hear them say things that make sense.
- SWSara Weinshenk
Well, yeah.
- KCKim Congdon
(laughs)
- SWSara Weinshenk
I mean, I also was...
- KCKim Congdon
Oh, I'm like, "That was..."
- SWSara Weinshenk
I went into a... When Brodie died, I went into an actual psychosis. I was taking, um, Adderall for a lot of years, and then I stopped taking it suddenly 'cause I wanted to sleep and I was so sad that he had died. I abruptly stopped taking Adderall and it put me in, like, this wild psychosis. And now I talk about it all the time 'cause it's so, it's so mass, like, prescribed. It's insane.
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, it's an amphetamine.
- KCKim Congdon
Yeah.
- SWSara Weinshenk
It, it's meth.
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, it's, it's better.
- SWSara Weinshenk
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
If you're gonna take one, I'd take Adderall.
- SWSara Weinshenk
Yeah.
- KCKim Congdon
It's better. Yeah, yeah.

Creative chaos: messy apartments, coffee-shop writing, and friendship stress-tests
- KCKim Congdon
I'm telling you right now, I, I don't remember who said this, but s- it was a famous woman, she said if, like, uh, if my apartment's clean, my work's not doing well.
- JRJoe Rogan
Ooh.
- KCKim Congdon
It's like, it's like for me, it really is one or the other.
- SWSara Weinshenk
True.
- KCKim Congdon
If my place is clean, I haven't had a set in a couple days, you know what I mean?
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.
- KCKim Congdon
Like, I've been at home. If, if, if I'm doing well, my shit is... I have boxes in my house that are just half opened and, like-
- SWSara Weinshenk
I got bags of stuff. I'm like, "I don't know what that is."
- KCKim Congdon
I haven't packed... I haven't packed from the last trip before the next trip. Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
That's really interesting.
- KCKim Congdon
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
That's really interesting that you said that. Cre- I think creative people would probably agree with that.
- SWSara Weinshenk
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
Like, especially when you get on a, a, a, like if you're on something, like, you're working on something and you're, like, really into it, I don't give a fuck what's going on around me.
- SWSara Weinshenk
Mm-hmm.
- KCKim Congdon
That was like-
- JRJoe Rogan
I'm just focused on what I'm doing. I got empty cans and shit and cigars.
- SWSara Weinshenk
When we, we just wrote, (laughs) we wrote a movie together and that whole time my apartment was fucked up.
- KCKim Congdon
Same. Same. It was embarrassing.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- KCKim Congdon
It was embarrassing.
- SWSara Weinshenk
Us writing?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. But j- that's-
- KCKim Congdon
I gotta tell you, being a creative is embarrassing.
- JRJoe Rogan
Being a creative?
- SWSara Weinshenk
(laughs)
- KCKim Congdon
It's embarrassing.
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- KCKim Congdon
It is.
- SWSara Weinshenk
Yeah, we were meeting-
- 51:21 – 55:25
Hawaii stories: turtle ‘sea Karen,’ ocean danger, drownings, and Sharktober
- KCKim Congdon
It was so nice to- it was our f- like first real vacation in so long when we went to Hawaii.
If I'm at the beach, I'm pretty embarrassing.
- JRJoe Rogan
Dude, we're supposed to get sun all the time.
- KCKim Congdon
Ugh.
- JRJoe Rogan
That's one of the reasons why you feel good when you're on vacation, you're getting all that vitamin D.
- KCKim Congdon
Tell Joe how I was in the ocean.
What?
Sarah's tanning.
Yeah.
I'm like snorkel on, have a tube-
(laughs)
... where the water's breaking and I'm trying to dive through the tube. I'm riding the tube onto the sand, I'm flipping my... I like- I'll... if I go to the beach-
I'm like reading a magazine on the sands. (laughs)
... I don't leave the water until like my lips are like blue and my hands are like wrinkled. Like, I'll just like float with a snorkel like I'm dead and let the waves wash me in and drag me out and wash me in-
We gotta tell Joe-
... for hours. I- it d- it- it never gets old to me.
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm.
- KCKim Congdon
You gotta tell him about the turtles.
(sighs)
About how we got hu- okay.
I got humiliated in Kauai. Hold on.
And she gets embarrassed. I don't, I didn't give a fuck.
Oh, I got embarrassed. 'Cause that we went to this beach where I guess the sea turtles swim up.
Poipu, yeah.
Poipu, and I'm like very-
In Kauai.
... aware of like not touching anything, staying away, giving everything its space. So I'm trying to do that, but the tourists are kind of chasing the turtle to where it runs into me, and it's trying to escape. And I'm trying not to move so it can go around me, but it doesn't know where to go, and right then this lady comes with a megaphone.
This Karen.
And she's like, "Step away from the turtle." (laughs)
(laughs)
- 55:25 – 1:05:35
Sea creatures as aliens: jellyfish ‘learning,’ deadly octopus toxins, and kraken myths
- JRJoe Rogan
I agree. You know they, they did some study recently where they showed that jellyfish, despite not having a brain, they seem to be able to learn. Now they're go- now they're trying to figure out, well, how are they learning? I know how they learn. How? Vibes. Vibes, man. They feel the vibes.
- SWSara Weinshenk
They feel the vibe. Yeah, th- 'cause I mean like if we lived-
- JRJoe Rogan
You don't have to have a brain to feel the vibes. (laughs)
- SWSara Weinshenk
If we lived in a vibrational universe where everything is frequency, it would make sense that the-
- JRJoe Rogan
They feel the vibes.
- SWSara Weinshenk
They're vibing out down there.
- JRJoe Rogan
They just go with what the flow is. They're very, uh, they're very jelly-like. They just go with whatever the energy is doing already. Mm-hmm. That's why it seems like they know. So it's a theory. You guys, you guys seem like you, you came up with this theory together and you've discussed this before. Oh, I just thought of it right now- (laughs) ... and Sarah came on board with me. And I feel like we're onto something.
- SWSara Weinshenk
Yeah. Yeah, we're onto something.
- JRJoe Rogan
Are we not onto something?
- SWSara Weinshenk
Well, no, I think we live in a vib-
- JRJoe Rogan
I think the vibes thing, yeah.
- SWSara Weinshenk
I think we live in a vibrational universe and that things enter our experience based on the things that we think and the world that we create.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- SWSara Weinshenk
And so when you like-
- JRJoe Rogan
I just think if the fish are flowing this way, the jelly is gonna go this way too. (laughs)
- SWSara Weinshenk
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
And it seems like they know what they're doing, but they're just kinda going with whatever is happening around them. Also some of them are poisonous as fuck, like the box jellyfish.
- SWSara Weinshenk
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
People- Which means they know they need to be poisonous. Yeah. So which means they're aware that there's danger, so they're aware.
- SWSara Weinshenk
They're sentient in some way.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. They have no brain but they're aware. They're like, "Don't fuck with me." I know a lot of people like that. (laughs)
- SWSara Weinshenk
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. I know a lot of jellyfish.
- SWSara Weinshenk
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs) Well, especially if you think about where box jellyfish live, they're Australia, right? Australia has great white sharks everywhere. Uh, Australia has those little cute, um, octopi that... Is it octopus pie? I think it's octopi. Octopi that are the little blue-ringed ones that look like you can pick them up but they'll kill you. Oh, really? They're like the most dangerous one in the world.
- SWSara Weinshenk
It's not octopussies. (laughs) That would be-
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs) That's a James Bond movie.
- SWSara Weinshenk
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Octopussies. The blue-ringed octopus, yeah. It's like very cute and small and they have videos of p- that one. That'll kill you? Yeah, that'll kill you. How come that guy has it on his hand? It's like one of the most dea- the most deadly octopus. Wow.
- SWSara Weinshenk
It looks sick.
