    (drumming music plays) Joe Rogan podcast,…

    1. NA

      (drumming music plays) 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) And we're up, let's go Tim Dillon.

    4. TD

      How are you, sir?

    5. JR

      I'm good now, looking at that coat.

    6. TD

      Thank you for having me.

    7. JR

      (laughs)

    8. TD

      It's raccoon. I went to a furrier in New York and two little old Jewish guys, and they go, "We don't have anything in your size, uh, like sable or chinchilla or any of the high end." But then one of the little guys goes, "We may have a raccoon in the back."

    9. JR

      (laughs)

    10. TD

      And he (laughs) , and he came out with this. And this is a raccoon, but he was explaining it's from Finland.

    11. JR

      Oh.

    12. TD

      Like these raccoons are Finnish.

    13. JR

      Is that the actual color of their fur or did they dye that?

    14. TD

      I think the-

    15. JR

      Because it's like a blond, almost like a grizzly bear.

    16. TD

      I think the raccoons in Finland are, are have different colors, perhaps.

    17. JR

      Hm, let's google that.

    18. TD

      Yeah.

    19. JR

      What does a raccoon look like in Finland? Is that a different animal? What do they call them? They call them dumpster dogs or something like that?

    20. TD

      Um, trash pandas.

    21. JR

      Trash pandas, that's it. Yeah.

    22. TD

      You know? And, uh, listen, I like a raccoon too, but I also like fur. I think people should be allowed to wear fur.

    23. JR

      Well, it is weird that you're allowed-

    24. TD

      Yeah.

    25. JR

      ... to kill animals and eat them.

    26. NA

      Why do they call it a raccoon dog?

    27. JR

      Ah.

    28. NA

      I've never heard of that.

    29. TD

      Oh, so it is, it is kind of similar to, to the, to the coat I have.

    30. NA

      I typed in Finland raccoon, and it just keeps saying raccoon dog.

  2. 15:0030:00

    (coughs) Right. …

    1. JR

      until a new form of intelligent life arises-

    2. TD

      (coughs) Right.

    3. JR

      ... the, the universe doesn't care about that.

    4. TD

      No, right.

    5. JR

      It doesn't-

    6. TD

      Me s- me saying we haven't had a significant impact is like when your 13-year-old starts talking about Israel and Palestine.

    7. JR

      (laughs)

    8. TD

      Like, they just don't... This is-

    9. JR

      Yeah.

    10. TD

      ... it's, uh, it's... I sound ridiculous because it's literally... I've been on the planet 38 years and I'm like-

    11. JR

      Yeah.

    12. TD

      ... "We haven't had anything."

    13. JR

      You get... As you get older, you get old enough to realize this hustle. You get... Oh, this, this is a hustle. Like, you're tr- you're pretending like you can do something.

    14. TD

      Right.

    15. JR

      You're pretending like you're gonna make a life and leave a mark and all that. It's... You're just moving.

    16. TD

      Right.

    17. JR

      And you're gonna be gone and new people are gonna move into that. And w- everyone's affecting everybody and we're all working towards some weird goal.

    18. TD

      Right.

    19. JR

      And some of it involves rockets and computers.

    20. TD

      Yeah.

    21. JR

      And we're just building wilder and wilder technology. But I don't know if we can escape before something hits. And I have a feeling that's what's happened many times in the past. I think that's the biggest key to the mystery of people.

    22. TD

      And you think that we may have gotten to this point...

    23. JR

      I think we definitely did.

    24. TD

      ... where people were podcasting in ridiculous coats-

    25. JR

      Yes.

    26. TD

      ... and then something comes and ruins it-

    27. JR

      Yeah.

    28. TD

      ... and then it takes billions of years to get back to that.

    29. JR

      Millions.

    30. TD

      Millions to get back-

  3. 30:0045:00

    Wow. …

    1. TD

      Christmas party in LA and showed everyone her plane.

    2. JR

      Wow.

    3. TD

      She flies. Every, like, every few days, she flies around.

    4. JR

      Whew.

    5. TD

      Interesting.

    6. JR

      That's a wild hobby.

    7. TD

      It's an interesting life.

    8. JR

      Yeah, for sure.

    9. TD

      It's an interesting one.

    10. JR

      Okay. Don't go on your phone when you're up in s- the fucking sky.

    11. TD

      I bet she is.

    12. JR

      Unless she's on the phone.

    13. TD

      I bet Caitlyn Jenner's in that-

    14. JR

      Checking, uh-

    15. TD

      ... plane on her phone.

    16. JR

      Probably checking them likes.

    17. TD

      Tweeting about how much she loves Donald Trump.

    18. JR

      (laughs) ... because that's what she was telling everybody.

    19. TD

      Isn't that wild?

    20. JR

      At my party she was going, you know, she goes, "Nobody's patriotic anymore. I love Trump." And everyone's just like, "Great, it's fun." She's a fun archetype of person.

    21. TD

      Yeah.

    22. JR

      We're at the end-

    23. TD

      Right.

    24. JR

      ... of, of-

    25. TD

      Time.

    26. JR

      ... i- i- time.

    27. TD

      Yeah. Check this fucking thing out.

    28. JR

      (laughs) This is crazy.

    29. TD

      So check this thing out. This thing, it c- it carries, I think, four nukes or six nukes.

    30. NA

      There's an animation here. Hold on, let me find that.

  4. 45:001:00:00

    No. …

    1. TD

      is, but when the country of Yemen is being starved out, bombed and killed, with money and weapons from the US to, through Saudi Arabia, that's not civilizational.

    2. JR

      No.

    3. TD

      That doesn't, that's not civilizational.

    4. JR

      Yeah.

    5. TD

      But Nikki Haley's up there like, "Let's fight it, let's go, China, let's go."

    6. JR

      Why do you think she's doing that?

    7. TD

      Because she wants-

    8. JR

      Has she always been that way?

    9. TD

      Because she wants the big money, and the big money people like when you get... Well, she's a woman, so she's gotta be tough-tough. "Ban TikTok, I'll kill you."

    10. JR

      She wants to ban TikTok?

    11. TD

      Oh, ban it.

    12. JR

      Whoa.

    13. TD

      Ban it, and then we're gonna go there and kick China's ass for making it. "I'm Nikki Haley. I'm tough." And what, Hillary Clinton, Hillary Clinton came out like a, like the running of the bulls, going, "Fuck Putin. We should kill..." Like, Hillary's on record saying some of the most bellicose things ever about what we should be doing with our CIA and with our military. And, and Nikki Haley's basically going out there, going, "The big money likes when you're open to a little conflict."

    14. JR

      Mm.

    15. TD

      They like that. The Koch brothers types like when you o- leave the door open. You don't have to say we're gonna do it, but leave the door open. All options on the table, that's their favorite word. Their favorite sentence is like, "All, we're leaving all options on the table." It's our val- it's about our values, says Nikki Haley. It's about our values in northern Ukraine. They like, she wants the money. I don't know what Chris Christie's up there talking about. You know, Ozempic or whatever, but he's not getting a dollar. No one's giving him anything.

    16. JR

      He's a weird one, like-

    17. TD

      All...

    18. JR

      ... why is he still doing this?

    19. TD

      He's just there to ruin things. Here's what I appreciate about Chris Christie.

    20. JR

      No. (laughs)

    21. TD

      He exists only to destroy.

    22. JR

      (laughs) He's not winning.

    23. TD

      He's not trying to build. He cannot win. He's not gonna be elected. He, he's there to kill that Vivek Ramaswamy. He's gonna kill him one day. He's there to just destroy other people. He's not there to succeed and he knows it. And Nikki Haley now is having the big meetings. She's having the big closed door meetings, when they take you up to Monte Rio, California in the Bohemian Grove-

    24. JR

      Mm.

    25. TD

      ... and they sit you down by the redwood trees and you go, "I like, I like your style. I just like what..." Now, by the way, who the hell is Nikki? No one knows, no one cares. She was the governor of what? What was she the governor of?

    26. JR

      South Carolina.

    27. TD

      South Carolina.

    28. JR

      Mm-hmm.

    29. TD

      Great, great, great. But again, none of these people gave a shit back then, right? I think her big thing was when someone climbed to the top of the State House and took away the Confederate flag, she was like, "Well, that's good." I think she didn't do anything, like whatever... She had that moment of like, "Look at me. I'm, I'm the governor and I'm progressive. I'll let people vandalize the Capitol, maybe for its good reason, whatever."

    30. JR

      (laughs)

  5. 1:00:001:15:00

    Mm-hmm. …

    1. TD

      an asset of Russia." And now they're like... Now it's, it's totally switched-

    2. JR

      Mm-hmm.

    3. TD

      ... to where they're like, "He said it had six bedrooms. It has five." It's like, guys, this wasn't what we were told.

    4. JR

      Right.

    5. TD

      We, we were told he was an asset of Russia и then they switched-

    6. JR

      Yeah.

    7. TD

      ... it up immediately to go, "Oh, he inflated the price of his real estate." By the way, everyone does that. Everyone does that.

    8. JR

      (laughs)

    9. TD

      E- if somebody's appraising your house, you walk up at the end and go, "You saw the basement, right?" That's woodwork that I did. Everyone does that. He does it on a grand scale because he's... has more money and more properties.

    10. JR

      Yeah.

    11. TD

      But the idea that that's what we're getting him for, it's hilarious.

    12. JR

      It's weird.

    13. TD

      It's crazy.

    14. JR

      Because if this keeps going, like, how far will they take it? Like, if he keeps getting bigger иcause it seems like, at least in public perception-... the- the more they come after him, the bigger he gets.

    15. TD

      Yeah.

    16. JR

      'Cause the more people realize the game.

    17. TD

      Right.

    18. JR

      They're like, "Oh my God, this is like banana republic shit." You're prosecuting your political opponents.

    19. TD

      Yes.

    20. JR

      And you're doing it specifically to time the trials around, like, Republican conventions, primaries, all these different... You're doing it on purpose.

    21. TD

      Right.

    22. JR

      It's pretty clear.

    23. TD

      Right.

    24. JR

      So, everyone's, like, more and more supportive of him than ever.

    25. TD

      Right.

    26. JR

      So, how far will they go? And how far can they go?

    27. TD

      I don't know. I think he'll run the joint from the can. I think he'll-

    28. JR

      (laughs)

    29. TD

      I think he'll run the country from prison. I mean, I think he'll run it from a federal prison. I mean, it might get to the point where-

    30. JR

      Is that possible?

  6. 1:15:001:15:49

    Oh. …

    1. JR

      the m- motivation is behind it.

    2. TD

      Oh.

    3. JR

      Like, more-

    4. TD

      Yeah.

    5. JR

      ... than ever before. You want some more of this?

    6. TD

      No, I'm good. Thank you, buddy.

    7. JR

      More than ever before. I mean, so many times I'm reading things, I'm like, "Where, what, what's the fucking motivation behind it? What's the true story?"

    8. TD

      When I came up in the world in understanding, trying to understand this stuff, there was... Cable news dominated the discourse.

    9. JR

      Oh, yeah.

    10. TD

      So it was just the three networks, the big three, co- the papers, the, The Times, Journal, The Washington Post, whatever. But then it was cable news. So it was MSNBC, Fox News, CNBC to a much lesser degree, CNN even to a much, you know, lesser degree. But it was Fox and MSNBC were the ones that were really propaganda factories.

    11. JR

      Hmm.

    12. TD

      Fox was the right, MSNBC was the left. And that's what you had.
