The Joe Rogan Experience.
- JRJoe Rogan
Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day. (rock music plays) Jim Breuer.
- JBJim Breuer
What's up, baby? How are you?
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- JBJim Breuer
It's good to see you, man.
- JRJoe Rogan
Good to see you too, my friend.
- JBJim Breuer
You look all happy and, and refreshed.
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, I was on vacation. Yeah. So I went to the British Vi- Virgin Islands for 10 days. Just chilled, went to the beach, did some fishing, wonderful time.
- JBJim Breuer
Do-
- JRJoe Rogan
Just relaxing, just relaxing.
- JBJim Breuer
You scuba?
- JRJoe Rogan
Wonderful. Doed a little snorkeling, did some snorkeling. Scuba kinda freaks me out. (laughs)
- JBJim Breuer
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
I would do it, but the idea of, of relying on that tank of air, and you're breathing under water, (gasps) and you have to slowly have to make your way to the surface.
- JBJim Breuer
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Fuck. What if something goes sideways? How long can you hold your breath? Jesus.
- JBJim Breuer
You don't go down that far. You don't y- you just... I think you... I'm shocked you don't like scuba diving.
- JRJoe Rogan
Uh, it's not whether or not I would like it. I would absolutely love it, I'm sure. It's a whole different w- everybody I know that's done it loves it. It's a whole world.
- JBJim Breuer
See, I'm more freaked out by what you do. If you go snorkeling and you, you smacking your, your, your feet on the water, I think-
- JRJoe Rogan
Sharks.
- JBJim Breuer
... sharks, they s- "Oh my God, he's fucking struggling."
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, yep.
- JBJim Breuer
"I'm gonna get him."
- JRJoe Rogan
Totally-
- JBJim Breuer
That freaks me out more.
- JRJoe Rogan
... totally possible, and happened at a resort where Duncan was staying. It was either the week before Duncan was there, or the week after he left. I forget which one it was, but in Maui, this lady got eaten by a tiger shark right out where Duncan was swimming. He was out there at the same resort, swimming in the water. And then during the same timeframe, somebody got got.
- JBJim Breuer
They're everywhere.
- JRJoe Rogan
They're everywhere.
- JBJim Breuer
But... Yeah, no. I'm t- I'm not a, I'm not a snorkeling fan.
- 15:00 – 30:00
(laughs) But I think…
- JBJim Breuer
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs) But I think we're still way better than, than what we used to be. We're ba- way better than lower primates. What I think is, we're in the process of reaching another level, and I think it's very messy and very complicated. And that's where all this AI comes in, and that's where the internet comes in, that's where social media comes in, that's where all this outrage culture comes in. It comes in from an unprecedented amount of opinions. And so you have... So, like, there's so much that's fucking up the, the noise from the actual data, because there's so many human beings that can talk simultaneously now. And the ones who wanna talk the most generally are the fucking dumbest.
- JBJim Breuer
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Right? They're the ones that have the time to be spewing shit out on social media all day, because they're distracting themselves from whatever they really should be doing with their life. That's like mo- it's a psychological thing. The, the type of person that gets completely addicted to arguing with people on Twitter all day-
- JBJim Breuer
Oh, God.
- JRJoe Rogan
That person is for sure distracting themselves from something they should have been doing.
- JBJim Breuer
And you're arguing against something you have... You don't even know f- who they are. You don't know how old they are.
- JRJoe Rogan
And they're so-
- JBJim Breuer
You don't know w- how they're dressed.
- JRJoe Rogan
... many of them.
- JBJim Breuer
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
And they're the primary users of these angry, aggressive social media platforms. And so you get a distorted perception of what's happening with human beings. But it's colliding with people that are pushing back against that.
- JBJim Breuer
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
It's colliding with people that are opening their eyes to the amount of, the amount of corruption, the amount of bullshit, the amount of lies you're being told, the amount of, the amount of money that's being made by these fucking people that are supposed to be making $170,000 a year.
- JBJim Breuer
It's just slavery.
- JRJoe Rogan
It- it's, it's th-
- JBJim Breuer
It's different forms of slavery.
- JRJoe Rogan
I don't know if it's... I don't want... It's, it's control.
- JBJim Breuer
In my opinion.
- JRJoe Rogan
It's control. It's control. It's h- it's human beings controlling human beings. And they can do it by tricking you. And they can trick you into thinking they're with you, they're with trans kids, and they're woke, and they're this and that.
- JBJim Breuer
(laughs) Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
I, I am telling you, they're werewolves. That's a trick to get you to come fucking t- t- s- hang out in the cafeteria until the moon comes up. Well, that's what that is.
- JBJim Breuer
What do we do... W- w- in the movies, where they do the werewolves? In the movies?
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, they always k-
- JBJim Breuer
How do we get rid of werewolves though?
- JRJoe Rogan
They shoot them with silver bullets.
- JBJim Breuer
That's-
- JRJoe Rogan
Except American Werewolf in London, it appe- I think they just used regular bullets, which makes more sense.
- JBJim Breuer
Hm.
- JRJoe Rogan
'Cause why should you need a silver bullet? I mean, what are we doing here?
- 30:00 – 45:00
(laughs) …
- JRJoe Rogan
fucking jack shit about that, but you're sending hundreds of billions of dollars to deal with conflict on another part of the world.
- JBJim Breuer
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
This is insanity. That's insanity. And it on-
- JBJim Breuer
It is insanity.
- JRJoe Rogan
... it only works if you get on a team. It only works if you support a team.
- JBJim Breuer
There's no reason to be on a team.
- JRJoe Rogan
... there's no reason to be on a team.
- JBJim Breuer
There's no reason to be on any team.
- JRJoe Rogan
No reason, no reason. I, there's-
- JBJim Breuer
We're way more powerful than that-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yes.
- JBJim Breuer
... as individuals, uniting with this incredible energy.
- JRJoe Rogan
Also, you can learn things. If you close your fucking head and you don't listen to anything the people on the other side say, you just say, "Oh, they'll fucking," you're gonna miss stuff. You're gonna miss a lot of stuff. You're gonna, you're gonna be wrong. You're gonna have a, a stupid, egotistical perspective of things that's not necessary. You're gonna unfairm- unfairly malign people's character because they have a, a opposing philosophy or an opposing ideology. And that's bad for everybody. We have to, if we're gonna move forward as human beings and as a society and as a civilization, we have to be nicer to each other. We have to-
- JBJim Breuer
It's that simple.
- JRJoe Rogan
... just accept the fact that your ideas are not you. Do not be married to your ideas. And debate them in an open way and talk about stuff in an open way, where you're a good person, you're talking to one another, and do it all in good faith. And if we can all agree to do that, we'll find out that there's way more we have in common, way more we have in common. And that's what we should be concentrating on. And there's also some fucking undeniable problems with the way our society is run that have never been addressed, in terms of crime and inner city problems and infrastructure. There's corruption, at least in the form of incompetence. And this, the thing that happens when you get government bigger and bigger and bigger, and I hate to sound like a fucking libertarian, but if you get government bigger and bigger-
- JBJim Breuer
You're just talking honesty.
- JRJoe Rogan
... it's a business. And if it's a business that doesn't have any competition, you can't even hire the public sector to compete and do a better job of all those things? All those things have to be taken care of by the government? Are we fucking sure?
- JBJim Breuer
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Because in every other sector of life-
- JBJim Breuer
That's right.
- JRJoe Rogan
... when you allow people to compete, whether it is with art or with f- you know, with fucking construction, whether it's, it's surgeons, the best ones are the ones that people wanna go to. And they, they-
- JBJim Breuer
I know.
- JRJoe Rogan
And it forces people to get better at everything. And you have a much more efficient system. I mean, look, imagine if there was businesses out there that they failed their audit six years in a row.
- JBJim Breuer
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
Just money was just missing. Sorry, money's missing, don't know what happened.
- JBJim Breuer
1000 bucks.
- JRJoe Rogan
And we just accept it. Hey, you know those guys over at Kellogg's? They just... The fucking cereal's everywhere, they don't know what's going on.
- JBJim Breuer
Take-
- JRJoe Rogan
Ah, some money's missing here and there. Whatever, it's fucking cereal!
- JBJim Breuer
Whatever. Hey, hey, climate change. Climate cha- how much should we give them this year? Three trillion? What'd you come up with? We're gonna have an ice age. So they fucked up. Couple trillion. Let's give them another trillion, let them figure it out for the next 10 years.
- 45:00 – 1:00:00
I agree with you…
- JRJoe Rogan
as one of those pe- you get, like, locked into a certain kinda thinking, even if you're already inclined to think that way.
- JBJim Breuer
I agree with you 1,000%, but we all cross that path. And it's easier for some than others, and I understand the whole world of being there.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- JBJim Breuer
But in my, a- and I'm not saying I'm better or anyone's better, but you can't tell me at one moment in your life when you're saying the things you're saying, whether it's on a certain television show or whatever, and you know, you know...
- JRJoe Rogan
(wolf howling noise)
- JBJim Breuer
Do you still wanna be able to call that restaurant when it's busy season?
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- JBJim Breuer
Well, it's packed.
- JRJoe Rogan
Uh, you know.
- JBJim Breuer
So, I get it. And yeah, the money's beautiful, the fame's beau- we j- we, we all love what we're doing-
- JRJoe Rogan
The thing is that pe-
- JBJim Breuer
... on every level.
- JRJoe Rogan
People's-
- JBJim Breuer
On every level.
- JRJoe Rogan
People's opinions are very pliable, whether you believe it or not. That's how cults get started. They, they trick you into thinking a very specific way. That's how cults get started.
- JBJim Breuer
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
They, human beings, we're pliable. And the best way to resist that is t- to not be married to your ideas. Don't be married to them. Be you. Like, you should have a core set of values. You love your family, you love your friends, try to be a good person, do your best at whatever it is that you do. That's the core. All that other stuff, these ideas, you gotta look at what th- them for what they really are. And sometimes, sometimes you get the wrong one stuck in your head and then you identify with it and you defend it, even when it's wrong. And I've seen brilliant people fall down that path, especially during the pandemic, especially in regards to the vaccines or the lockdowns or the severity of the virus for people that are healthy. There's a lot of variables that were ignored that shouldn't have been ignored, if we're gonna be honest with each other. So, the problem is you are one side or the other. You are team vaccine or team pureblood, (laughs) you know?
- JBJim Breuer
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
And the purebloods got locked into, like, MAGA-
- JBJim Breuer
Yes.
- JRJoe Rogan
... and fucking hillbillies, and-
- JBJim Breuer
Yes. Dude, I d- I, I, I, I keep going around in circles and I hang out with every gang. I love every g- I, everybody's got something to offer-
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm-hmm.
- JBJim Breuer
... which is why I think that's how we'll grow. Like, you don't have to join here, you don't have to join here. But the more, the more I see, the more groups that are formed... Y- you know, I remember being a kid, you know what the greatest time was? N- and, and my mom and dad were both working. I'd be in the kitchen like a little kid, and I remember Mary, Mary's the lady watching me, and all the neighbors would come over, and this one's talking about divorce, I don't even know what they were talking about, like, what the... And this one had whatever, and everyone would get together and they're like, they'd have cake and they'd help each other and they'd give advice. You know, years ago therapists were called friends and family.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- JBJim Breuer
And look after each other. You didn't have, you didn't have, um, people, well, you had people in nursing homes, but I remember going over my friend's house, like, "Listen, we're going to the house of my grandma who lives in the basement. She, you know, she dribbles and she talks weird shit." And it's like, well, she had dementia.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- JBJim Breuer
But that's what we've lost. What, what for me what COVID did was it was the la- i- it was the way the werewolves... I say it's the werewolves. The wel- the werewolves went, "This is how we really rip the families apart." And well, because everybody has fear in them.... and everyone in your family has f- every human being has fear in them. And they're testing, the more the werewolves get to test your fear factor, the stronger they become 'cause they see who buckles. They see who's gonna call.
- JRJoe Rogan
They see how many people buckle. They see how many people-
- JBJim Breuer
They see how many people, they see who's lashing out. They see how many people wearing a mask at the airport. They s- they... so they're measuring the fear.
- 1:00:00 – 1:14:22
... evil, disturbing, soulless…
- JBJim Breuer
still go there. And I'm not angry at what happened. I'm angry on how you took such advantage of, of just natural humans that are so innocent, and have such good lives and spirits in them. And you went full-blown onslaught. For whatever reason, whether you wanted control or for money, you, you, you tore apart what, what keeps us connected. Our hearts, our souls, our innocence. They took innocence, and they made us... They, uh, they... That is, to me, the most violent-
- JRJoe Rogan
... evil, disturbing, soulless part of any existence. And I pray to God people see it, because when they see it and they see the, uh, the amount of destruction it truly caused, that's a, that's a force to be reckoned with. But like Joey Diaz says, "Only takes three motherfuckers to get shit done. Three motherfuckers."
- JBJim Breuer
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Three motherfuckers, Joe Rogan. Three motherfuckers, I'll take over this whole town.
- JBJim Breuer
(clapping)
- JRJoe Rogan
Three real motherfuckers. It's true.
- JBJim Breuer
Yes.
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, but anyway. The most important things that people understand now, how these games work.
- JBJim Breuer
Yes.
- JRJoe Rogan
And the only way they work is if-
- JBJim Breuer
Yes.
- JRJoe Rogan
... we're pitted against each other.
- JBJim Breuer
Yes.
- JRJoe Rogan
Whether we're pitted against each other with trans sports, don't think that they're not involved in all that stuff-
- JBJim Breuer
Of course.
- JRJoe Rogan
... because it's also a polarizing issue. It's a polarizing issue, all of it. You know, when they... We call about gender-affirming care, the, the way they phrase things, and the way they use things, understand that this is a polarizing position that they take because they want to make sure we continue to fight against each other. They wanna make sure that we are at each other's throat, and they will manufacture these little crises over and over and over again.
- JBJim Breuer
They're-
- JRJoe Rogan
Manufacture these little dis- "Well, climate change." There's so many people that are out there that tell you, "We have to stop climate change or we're all gonna die."
- JBJim Breuer
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
"We need to get an electric car or we're all gonna die."
- JBJim Breuer
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
And they haven't looked at it at all, "You need to stop eating meat or we're all gonna die."
- JBJim Breuer
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
"We're all gonna die." Is it possible that they're trying to control the food source? Fuck, yes, it is.
- JBJim Breuer
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Is that a j- a, a massive way that you can control human beings? Control the food supply? Absolutely, it is.
- JBJim Breuer
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
And when someone starts telling you, "Hey, you gotta kill food because the 'food' is making too much carbon and that's making the Earth warm." Okay. Meanwhile, China's building-
- JBJim Breuer
Jesus.
- JRJoe Rogan
... hundreds of coal-powered plants right now. How many coal-powered plants right now are being built in China? 'Cause this is an extraordinary number. We have to understand this when you're talking about ruining people's lives to have a minimal effect on the amount of CO2 that's being put out worldwide. Because the amount that's being put out by China and India far surpasses the rest of the world. You are just gonna make people starve. You're gonna put people in dire poverty and make nary an impact on that problem. I'm not saying you should ignore that problem, but I'm saying you should look at all the ways to fix that problem, and none of them should involve people starving. So China, look at the amount, 1,142 operational coal mines, more than anyone on Earth.
