    Bureaucratic UFO Disclosure and Alien Tech as Possible Cover

    1. NA

      (drumbeats) Joe Rogan podcast. Check it out.

    2. NA

      The Joe Rogan Experience.

    3. SP

      Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night. All day. (rock music)

    4. DT

      Are we up?

    5. SP

      Yeah, technically. Okay. It's not like we're supposed to be kept records by the US government.

    6. DT

      So we can start with this.

    7. SP

      Sure.

    8. JR

      Yeah.

    9. DT

      Yeah, let's get right into it.

    10. JR

      Yeah.

    11. DT

      Yeah. And, you know, uh, make- if he does have first-hand knowledge that he's not allowed to say until now, that is interesting.

    12. JR

      (yawns) Yeah.

    13. DT

      Because I do- I was also under the impression he didn't have first-hand knowledge, so he did, I guess, on the podcast say that he has some first-hand knowledge.

    14. JR

      Mm-hmm.

    15. DT

      I- maybe I didn't catch that.

    16. SP

      He did say it very quick.

    17. DT

      Yeah, he said it very quick.

    18. JR

      Hmm. You know what- you know, uh, edging? What edging is, um, of course?

    19. DT

      Yeah.

    20. JR

      That's what this feels like.

    21. DT

      Mm-hmm.

    22. JR

      It feels like BDSM level-

    23. DT

      (laughs)

    24. JR

      ... getting your cock right on the precipice of coming and then slowing down and then edging and then slowing down.

    25. DT

      Mm-hmm.

    26. JR

      It's so frustrating. It's the- when we talked about disclosure in the old days, the dream of disclosure. No one thought it would be this, like-

    27. DT

      Slow drip.

    28. JR

      ... bureaucratic-

    29. DT

      Right.

    30. JR

      ... slow fucking drip. It's so frustrating. I d- I- I don't pay attention to it anymore.

    Drones, AI Hypothesis, and the Cosmic Midwife Theory of Intelligence

    1. DT

      says. "I've already depicted the bunny in various joyous scenarios, each more jubilant than the last. For this next attempt, I'll try to imagine a scene of unparalleled happiness, pushing the limits of whimsy and delight. Let's see how this translates visually." So he's like, "There's a rainbow and butterflies."

    2. JR

      Yeah.

    3. DT

      "And his eyes are closed, he's in ecstasy. Happier. We've reached extraordinary levels of happiness in our bunny l- illustrations. Each one more delightful and whimsical than the last. For this next creation, I'll envision a scene that surpasses all previous in sheer joy and wonder, attempting to capture an even higher level of euphoria. Let's see how this imaginative and exuberant concept translates into an image." So it's like a bunny that is in the cosmos.

    4. JR

      Yeah.

    5. DT

      In the clouds. Everything is rainbow, there's flowers that are flying.

    6. JR

      (laughs)

    7. DT

      It looks pretty amazing. Okay, it says... Go all the way up so we can read what's up... Uh, you are not understanding. It needs to be far more happy.

    8. JR

      (laughs)

    9. DT

      Okay, so ChatGPT says, "To depict an even higher level of happiness for the bunny, surpassing all previous creations, presents a unique and imaginative challenge. This time, I'll attempt to conceive a scene of pure, unadulterated joy and wonder, aiming to go beyond any conventional boundaries of happiness and bliss. Let's see thus, how this ultimate vision of joy is illustrated." And it's a bunny, again, even more trippy in the clouds. You see reflections in his eyes. He's flying in the air. There's, looks like there's, is that an angel over his right shoulder there?

    10. JR

      Yeah, there's angel-

    11. DT

      Some sort of wing-

    12. JR

      ... wings, mushrooms.

    13. DT

      ... thing. Yeah. Mushrooms f- in the background, which is interesting.

    14. JR

      Yeah.

    15. DT

      Th- that's very interesting that ChatGPT chose mushrooms when you started asking it about-

    16. JR

      Right.

    17. DT

      ... happiness. Okay, one more. Okay. So...

    18. SP

      Oh, goddammit.

    19. JR

      I do that shit all the time, man.

    20. DT

      Okay, it's okay. So what did he say to it?

    21. SP

      It didn't say.

    22. DT

      Oh, it didn't. "Here's an image of a bunny representing a form of joy that surpasses the concept of happiness, a level of bliss as it expands beyond all universes and matter." So now this is a cosmic one. So this bunny has its eyes closed and there's a glowing light above its head and planets surrounding it and it looks very, very happy. Next one.

    23. SP

      Hmm.

    24. DT

      Okay. "Here's an image of an entity that transcends the form of a rabbit, embodying a happiness so vast and powerful, it permeates all dimensions and universes."

    25. JR

      Yeah.

    26. DT

      Yo. That's wild. But go one more.

    27. SP

      Really?

    28. DT

      Yeah. "Here's an image of a bunny transcending into a physical form of boundless happiness, evolving into the purest embodiment of joy." One more please. (coughs) Look at this one.

    29. JR

      God.

    30. DT

      This is the end. "Here is the image of an entity that embodies the ultimate form of happiness, transcending all known beings and concepts. This entity is the very essence of happiness, the only existing being and the defining force of all existence."

    AI’s Spiritual Imagery: The ‘Final Bunny’ and Instant Literary Mimicry

    1. DT

      killing their endocrine systems.

    2. JR

      Dude, that's so-

    3. DT

      And they also can't get away from it.

    4. JR

      It is hilarious when somebody is, like, bugling out about the depopulation agenda-

    5. DT

      Mm-hmm.

    6. JR

      ... while drinking out of plastic.

    7. DT

      (laughs)

    8. JR

      You know what I mean? It's like, "What are you doing?"

    9. DT

      (laughs)

    10. JR

      You're just eating Oreos-

    11. DT

      Yes.

    12. JR

      ... drinking Big Gulps out of plastic. I mean, like, they're, they're-

    13. DT

      Right.

    14. JR

      ... the chemtrails. They're doing chemtrails to-

    15. DT

      Yeah.

    16. JR

      ... depopulate us. It's like, dude, they don't-

    17. DT

      You're doing chemtrails to yourself.

    18. JR

      You're fucking drinking chemtrails every goddamn day.

    19. DT

      (laughs)

    20. JR

      Slurping back cam- chemtrails.

    21. DT

      Yeah.

    22. JR

      Yeah. I mean, to me, this is ... In the conspiracy world, when the idea of Project Blue Beam-

    23. DT

      Uh-huh.

    24. JR

      ... or, "They're going to distract us to do New World Order. They're gonna distract us to depopulate." It's just like, they, they don't have to do anything. Y- We're depopulating ourselves by what we eat.

    25. DT

      Yeah.

    26. JR

      Like, it's ... They don't really need to, like, do much, except maybe make, like, a, a better, like, Oreo. Like-

    27. DT

      (laughs)

    28. JR

      That's it. Just make it a-

    29. DT

      Make it a little more addictive.

    30. JR

      Yeah, a little more addictive. Like-

  4. 48:201:03:20

    Winter Is Coming: Strong AI, Cultural Amnesia, and Covert Influence

    1. DT

    2. JR

      Well, I was on- I mean, only... Five each set, but, you know, this is going from zero to five.

    3. DT

      Yeah.

    4. JR

      And I told you, I dreamed. Like, last week, I dreamed. I, uh, about doing pull-ups. And, like, it was, uh, like, this is how far away I've been from doing pull-ups that I'm dreaming it, and I wake up, I'm like, "Oh, just a dream."

    5. DT

      Hmm.

    6. JR

      So it was really wild to, like, so I was like, "Fuck, I can do pull-ups now? This is crazy." But I lost a lot of weight. When I was super fat, that was a big part of it, man. When you're overweight, like, you, pull-ups obviously are gonna be more difficult.

    7. DT

      When I have more time, I do it different and, uh, I was doing it different than I'm doing it now when I do the pull-up thing. So my body weight routine is I do, uh, 10 chin-ups, 20 dips, and then usually I do, uh, 20 pull-ups with, um...... uh, or whatever the ones they are. I don't know what you would call them, but it's got a bar where your hands are, uh, facing ... Like, if you put your hands together, like you're clapping, and then you separate them and grip. That, and they're in that position. And so, and then I, I do what's called an L chin-up. So you, you hold your feet out, like so your body's-

    8. JR

      Crazy.

    9. DT

      ... in the L position, so you're working your abs and you're doing this chin-up. I generally do that, too. But, uh, what I was doing is the sets of 10 of those, 10 chin-ups, 20 dips, and 10 ... But it's ... When I get to 10, like 10 is like the, it's like a struggle. Like, I probably could do ... I don't know how many I can do in a row, like full ones all the way down. But I know I can do five easy. So if I do 10 sets of five, it's easier.

    10. JR

      Right.

    11. DT

      You know, I can get 50 in pretty easy.

    12. JR

      Yeah.

    13. DT

      It's not hard to do. So you take the, you do ... Like when, um, Cameron Hanes's son broke the world chin-up record, he, he did f- 8,100 chin-ups in 24 hours. Um, he did f- sets of five. So you do five, and then you stop.

    14. JR

      Well, do-

    15. DT

      And then you wait a minute and do another five, and then you stop, and then you wait a minute. And if you do that, like five is not hard to do if you can do 10, you know?

    16. JR

      Right.

    17. DT

      Or if you can do 15. So you could bang out five pretty easy. And then, over the course of the workout, you get the same amount of reps, but you don't burn out.

    18. JR

      Right.

    19. DT

      Right? That's like the Russian way to do it.

    20. JR

      Russian?

    21. DT

      Yes. That's the, the way the, the, like, um, the kettlebell gurus, like guys like Pavel Tsatsouline, w- what their thing is about ... This, this is the concept behind, and I'm, I'm pro- paraphrasing it, probably butchering it, but strong first. And the idea is that strength, whether it's chin-ups or kettlebell routines, is a skill, and that you don't want to do a skill when you're tired. And the, the way to get stronger and, and get all the work in, is have much longer workouts with much more time in between sets.

    22. JR

      Right.

    23. DT

      So what you would do is you would do ... So like if you do 10 cleans and presses, instead of 10 you would do five. And you do five, and then you wait a long time-

    24. JR

      Yeah.

    25. DT

      ... like five minutes, and then you do another five.

    26. JR

      Yeah.

    27. DT

      And then you wait a long time.

    28. JR

      Yeah.

    29. DT

      And then you do another five. And so every time you do it, you're fresh.

    30. JR

      Yeah.

  5. 1:03:201:11:40

    Project Blue Beam, Media Distraction, and Strategic Manipulation

    1. DT

      Wow.

    2. JR

      Depersonalization, anxiety, derealization, and visual hallucinations.

    3. DT

      I wonder if that hydroxychloroquine shit they were given people at the beginning of COVID did that.

    4. JR

      I was wondering that when I heard about it. Like, what is that gonna do to people?

    5. DT

      Is hydroxychloroquine what they use for, um, malaria as well? B- uh, put hydroxychloroquine, 'cause all, hydroxychloroquine is like, it became connected inexorably to COVID misinformation.

    6. JR

      Right.

    7. DT

      Right? Donald Trump, you're a Trumper, you're a MAGA supporter, hydroxychloroquine doesn't work. It became, like, locked into that, which is really interesting. So, it's immunosuppressive drug, an antiparasite. It can treat and prevent malaria.

    8. JR

      It does this-

    9. DT

      So, it's for malaria. Um, it can also treat lupus and arthritis. Whoa.

    10. JR

      That's cool.

    11. DT

      Mea- yeah, but meanwhile, it's fucking MAGA. "It's a MAGA drug." Isn't it wild that a drug can get labeled as, like, a foolish drug to take? Like, if you told people today that you're taking ivermectin, they'd be like, "What the fuck is wrong with you? Why would you take that?"

    12. JR

      Yeah, that was a whole, i- i- you know-

    13. DT

      "You're not a horse. Come on, y'all."

    14. JR

      Yeah.

    15. DT

      "Get your shit together."

    16. JR

      Yeah.

    17. DT

      Remember that?

    18. JR

      It, dude, I tr- listen, as, uh, a former fan of ketamine, I would always get offended, 'cause people were like, "Isn't that a horse tranquilizer?" And you wanna be like, "No!"

    19. DT

      No, it's a cat tranquilizer.

    20. JR

      Exactly. But it's like-

    21. DT

      (laughs)

    22. JR

      ... first of all, if you do get the, uh, the animal anesthe- uh, ketamine, mwah.

    23. DT

      (laughs)

    24. JR

      Wait. 'Cause they don't give a, they don't give a fuck about the animals.

    25. DT

      (laughs) So they give you the real shit.

    26. JR

      Like, the human stuff is less psychedelic. The cat-

    27. DT

      Oh.

    28. JR

      The cat shit, they're like, "I don't care if you trip out. It's a fucking cat."

    29. DT

      (laughs) Imagine your cat just fucking tripping balls while-

    30. JR

      Oh.

  6. 1:11:401:25:00

    January 6th, Feds, and The System’s Predictable Bite

    1. JR

      dude, mood swings. I was having these fucking mood swings, and-

    2. DT

      Taking insulin spikes. Yeah.

    3. JR

      And, and, and insulin spikes.

    4. DT

      Yeah.

    5. JR

      But I'm thinking, "Ah, seasonal affective disorder, maybe some, like, undiagnosed mania," you know, I, I, like the, I guess this is just, "Ope, I'm in one of those moods again." Now that I've been, like, taking my fucking blood sugar, I know it, this level, this is what I feel like, and I can tell when it's up just by, like, how I start feeling.

    6. DT

      Mm-hmm.

    7. JR

      And so yeah, the vaping story, I keep thinking of Tony Hinchcliffe relentlessly roasting me for ear beating people about my diabetes. I don't wanna do it much longer. He's like-

    8. DT

      (laughs)

    9. JR

      ... he's so, I love it when he starts fucking, "Tell us more about your diabetes." (laughs) Uh, but yeah, uh, so yeah, I, um, uh, went on a family trip where I, I was vaping, like, much less than I do. And suddenly my blood sugar starts leveling out. Like, I would wake up, which is the important number, when you wake up, your fasting blood sugar will be like no- non-diabetic normal. Get back to Austin, and then 'cause I'm in my studio, start vaping like an idiot again, and all of a sudden the blood sugar starts getting fucking weird. And you know, I'm thinking like, "What did I eat?" Like, "What have I put in my body?" 'Cause I've just, I've cut out all sugar. Like, what is it? Is it like, what's getting into me that, is it the milk that I've, I put creamer in my coffee? I'm so dumb. (laughs)

    10. DT

      (laughs)

    11. JR

      I'm like, "Smoking cherry Cola vapes?"

    12. DT

      (laughs)

    13. JR

      "What could it be? What could be the culprit behind this?" And then yeah, so like, I quit vaping, and yeah.

    14. DT

      So we found out today, we Googled it today-

    15. JR

      Yeah.

    16. DT

      ... that, uh, a lot of these vapes have sugar in them, and, uh-

    17. JR

      Shocker.

    18. DT

      S- uh, alcohol sugar, or sugar alcohol.

    19. JR

      Yeah, I mean, it, uh, totally like, totally fu- I mean, it's, but, you know, again, it's like...... yeah.

    20. DT

      Of course.

    21. JR

      They're bad for you.

    22. DT

      Also, they have flavor. Like, what do you think that flavor's made out of?

    23. JR

      Think it's coming... You think they're using all natural ingredients at the vape factory?

    24. DT

      Yeah. Yeah.

    25. JR

      What, what do you-

    26. DT

      What's making that fake strawberry taste?

    27. JR

      Dude, I, I know, it's... I mean, I, it really... I was, like, honestly bummed out when I realized I was gonna have to say goodbye to my pacifier, but-

    28. DT

      Yeah, but that pacifier is weird, because you only... It's only good the first hit or two.

    29. JR

      True.

    30. DT

      And then something happens, and then you're just chasing this dragon that you never get.
