      The Joe Rogan Experience.

   3. JRJoe Rogan0:06

      Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night. All day. (rock music plays) And we're up, yeah, if you have to pee, that's the key to this. If you ... You can't talk when you have to pee, 'cause if you do, you're just ... You're not gonna ... Nothing's gonna come out right.

   4. ARAaron Rodgers0:21

      Yeah.

   5. JRJoe Rogan0:21

      You're just gonna, like, be concentrating on peeing.

   6. ARAaron Rodgers0:24

      That's, like, such a good conversation. It's like, "God, I gotta pee so bad."

   7. JRJoe Rogan0:27

      (laughs)

   8. ARAaron Rodgers0:27

      If I stop this, it ... what's gonna happen?

   9. JRJoe Rogan0:28

      Yeah, I've learned. I've learned you just gotta let it go. Is it-

   10. ARAaron Rodgers0:31

       Did Ari really pee in the fucking-

   11. JRJoe Rogan0:33

       Oh, always.

   12. ARAaron Rodgers0:34

       Huh.

   13. JRJoe Rogan0:34

       Yeah, he p- he pees in everything.

   14. ARAaron Rodgers0:35

       (laughs)

   15. JRJoe Rogan0:35

       He pees in, um, whiskey jugs. He pees in kombucha bottles. He's a psychopath.

   16. ARAaron Rodgers0:41

       It's like my buddy, AJ Hawk, he'll be doing the podcast and he's, like, just pissing in a Gatorade bottle.

   17. JRJoe Rogan0:46

       (laughs)

   18. ARAaron Rodgers0:46

       I'm like, "How many of those you got up in the fucking attic?"

   19. JRJoe Rogan0:49

       (laughs)

   20. ARAaron Rodgers0:49

       He's like, "Well, I stopped doing that." I'm like, "Yeah, right."

   21. JRJoe Rogan0:52

       When Matt Serra was fighting in the UFC, he, uh, used to, you know, drink so much water that he would have to get up in the middle of the night to pee all the time, so he'd k- ... He'd put, like, a bucket by the side of his bed.

   22. ARAaron Rodgers1:02

       And just leaned off? (laughs)

   23. JRJoe Rogan1:03

       Yeah, he just leaned off and pissed in something. I think maybe he had a jug, like, a one-gallon empty jug he pissed into.

   24. ARAaron Rodgers1:09

       I had a teammate who would piss himself in practice and games, and then spray a bunch of water to make it like he didn't piss himself.

   25. JRJoe Rogan1:15

       What? (laughs)

   26. ARAaron Rodgers1:15

       Just so no one would tell on him.

   27. JRJoe Rogan1:16

       What a psycho. (laughs)

   28. ARAaron Rodgers1:17

       No.

   29. JRJoe Rogan1:17

       That's a guy committed to winning.

   30. ARAaron Rodgers1:19

       Oh, yeah. (laughs)
2. 15:00 – 30:00

   (laughs) You're one of…

   1. JRJoe Rogan15:00

      .

   2. ARAaron Rodgers15:00

      (laughs) You're one of them?

   3. JRJoe Rogan15:00

      No.

   4. ARAaron Rodgers15:01

      (laughs)

   5. JRJoe Rogan15:02

      No. No, I still believe in the United States. I'm, I'm a patriot. I still believe in America. I just don't believe in politicians, and I think they have to figure out a way to extract money from politics. They have to do two things, two things that'd fix a lot. They have to stop congresspeople from being able to fuck an insider trade. That shit is insane. When you see the fact these people are making $170,000-

   6. ARAaron Rodgers15:23

      Nancy's incredible.

   7. JRJoe Rogan15:23

      Oh. Oh, she's-

   8. ARAaron Rodgers15:24

      She's great at it, man. She's, she's amazing.

   9. JRJoe Rogan15:25

      She's amazing. She's a wizard at it. But it's not just her. If you look at the chart, that's the thing about it is they all kind of keep their mouths shut, because if you look at the real numbers, it's pretty much divided between Republicans and Democrats.

   10. ARAaron Rodgers15:35

       It's both sides. It's definitely both sides.

   11. JRJoe Rogan15:36

       Yeah, it's both. Both sides are doing it. But that's e- that's crazy. They put Martha Stewart in jail for way less. Martha Stewart (laughs) . They put Martha Stewart-

   12. ARAaron Rodgers15:46

       (laughs)

   13. JRJoe Rogan15:46

       ... America's mom, they put her in jail for insider trading, and yet these congresspeople are completely exempt from it. And-

   14. ARAaron Rodgers15:53

       But it wasn't them, right? It was their significant other. I'm sure they weren't sharing any information.

   15. JRJoe Rogan15:57

       Some of it's them.

   16. ARAaron Rodgers15:58

       Some of it is them.

   17. JRJoe Rogan15:59

       Oh yeah, it's them.

   18. ARAaron Rodgers16:00

       Yeah.

   19. JRJoe Rogan16:00

       Yeah, they're, they know what bills are gonna be passed. They buy a shitload of stock, and they pass these bills, and then this, whatever industry is goes up, and they make enormous profits. There's people that are making 150, 170, $200,000 a year, and they're worth $90 million. In any other business, you would be investigated.

   20. ARAaron Rodgers16:20

       Yeah.

   21. JRJoe Rogan16:21

       And if you were a fucking plumber and you were making $190,000 a year and you were worth hundreds of millions of dollars, people would go, "What the fuck are you doing, Ted?" You know, they would crawl up your ass with a microscope. "Where the fuck did you get this money? How do you know all these things? Like, where are you getting this data?"

   22. ARAaron Rodgers16:37

       (laughs)

   23. JRJoe Rogan16:37

       "How are you able to do this?" Oh, you pass the laws, you pass the laws that changes the value of these companies, and then you gamble on that? That's what you're doing?

   24. ARAaron Rodgers16:48

       Hmm.

   25. JRJoe Rogan16:49

       You're going to jail. You're going to jail. Like that, that should be illegal, because you're gonna do things to profit that are above and be- that, that are ahead. You're gonna put that ahead of the better good of the United States. You're going to. They all do.

   26. ARAaron Rodgers17:05

       Yeah.

   27. JRJoe Rogan17:06

       Yeah.

   28. ARAaron Rodgers17:06

       Of course. So that's one. What's the other one?

   29. JRJoe Rogan17:08

       Th- they gotta take money outta politics. They gotta take th- the amount of donations that Super PACs and these, these special interest groups are allowed to give to these politicians, and then are completely beholden to them once they get into office. They have to figure out a way to stop that. I mean, it's, it should've never been allowed in the first place. Another thing would be b- get back on the gold standard. That would be a great move too, but that's too late.

   30. ARAaron Rodgers17:31

       But JFK was trying to do that.
3. 30:00 – 45:00

   But see, that's part…

   1. JRJoe Rogan30:00

      This is how you l- you gotta lose weight, so you have to have less calories in than you're burning, and you gotta exercise, and you got ... How about start drinking water? Stop drinking soda. We, we had this chart up yesterday of, uh, how many people o- on food stamps buy soda. Like, how much of food stamps is, uh, spent on soda. It's fucking crazy. It's like, poor people just drinking poison, drinking sugary poison.

   2. ARAaron Rodgers30:23

      But see, that's part of the, the problem too. You look at not just what they pushed or what they closed down during the, the, the lockdowns. You know, you had, uh, what was open, you had fast food restaurants open.

   3. JRJoe Rogan30:33

      Yeah.

   4. ARAaron Rodgers30:33

      Like, you had fucking processed food places open, but, but the food that's actually the best for you oftentimes is the most expensive.

   5. JRJoe Rogan30:41

      Yeah.

   6. ARAaron Rodgers30:42

      So, you have to find a way to, whether it's doing all-out, you know, tariffs on certain, extra taxes on certain types of products or, you know, I don't know how you're gonna change the farming system, uh, especially with Bill Gates being one of the biggest farm landowners there, and he's pushing, you know, insects and, uh, his, uh, uh, what's it called? A peel thing that he's putting on all the-

   7. JRJoe Rogan31:05

      Mm-hmm.

   8. ARAaron Rodgers31:05

      ... all the fruit and stuff. But the problem is that, that in order to eat healthier, you have to spend more money because-

   9. JRJoe Rogan31:11

      Well, what's-

   10. ARAaron Rodgers31:11

       ... the shitty food is the, is the least expensive.

   11. JRJoe Rogan31:13

       What scares the shit out of me is what they're doing to farmers in Europe, like the Dutch farmers.

   12. ARAaron Rodgers31:17

       Yeah.

   13. JRJoe Rogan31:17

       Like, and then in Ireland, they're telling farmers that they have to kill cows because they have too many cows and they're contributing to the, the global warming.

   14. ARAaron Rodgers31:24

       See, the guy at the, I think he was in Congress, he was interviewing somebody and asking these, you know, climate change people about, uh, how much CO2 is-

   15. JRJoe Rogan31:33

       Yeah.

   16. ARAaron Rodgers31:33

       ... you know, and, and, and-

   17. JRJoe Rogan31:34

       They don't know.

   18. ARAaron Rodgers31:34

       ... they're way off.

   19. JRJoe Rogan31:35

       Yeah, they're way off.

   20. ARAaron Rodgers31:36

       And, and-

   21. JRJoe Rogan31:36

       And they're making the decisions.

   22. ARAaron Rodgers31:38

       Yeah.

   23. JRJoe Rogan31:38

       And they, they, they literally are just... It's completely ideological. The ideological battle, the demon that you're fighting is climate change, and we must do something to stop climate change. Meanwhile, India and China aren't doing a fucking thing.

   24. ARAaron Rodgers31:53

       No.

   25. JRJoe Rogan31:53

       And they're contributing to most of it. Literally most of the carbon that's being released, like if you look at the amount of fucking coal plants that China has, they're opening up new ones. They have hundreds of them in construction.

   26. ARAaron Rodgers32:05

       Wasn't that the whole point of the, the... What was it? In Paris, they had some sort of-

   27. JRJoe Rogan32:09

       Climate accord.

   28. ARAaron Rodgers32:10

       Yeah. And, but it wasn't taking effect or there was different rules for other countries-

   29. JRJoe Rogan32:15

       Yeah.

   30. ARAaron Rodgers32:15

       ... that we had to adhere to something that nobody else was adhering to.
4. 45:00 – 1:00:00

   Yeah. …

   1. ARAaron Rodgers45:01

      "How about let's fuck the two-party system and-

   2. JRJoe Rogan45:03

      Yeah.

   3. ARAaron Rodgers45:03

      ... let's have some more options." And one of them, in my opinion is RFK, who's phenomenal.

   4. JRJoe Rogan45:10

      Well, they kept him off the ballot. They did, they did a phenomenal job of making sure that he wasn't in the primaries, the same way they were gonna do it with Bernie Sanders.

   5. ARAaron Rodgers45:17

      That's why he went independent.

   6. JRJoe Rogan45:19

      Yeah.

   7. ARAaron Rodgers45:19

      But get him in a debate.

   8. JRJoe Rogan45:20

      Yeah.

   9. ARAaron Rodgers45:21

      Why do we have to wait till fucking September for a debate?

   10. JRJoe Rogan45:23

       Well, how about the fact that he won't debate, nor will Biden? No one's debating. This is the first time we've ever had a presidential election where neither the incumbent nor the main guy on the opposition is debated.

   11. ARAaron Rodgers45:35

       So Trump's n- said he's not gonna debate?

   12. JRJoe Rogan45:36

       He's not debating anybody.

   13. ARAaron Rodgers45:37

       Why? He'd mop the floor with-

   14. JRJoe Rogan45:38

       He doesn't have to.

   15. ARAaron Rodgers45:39

       Yeah. D- Yeah. I guess that's true.

   16. JRJoe Rogan45:41

       So he's like, "Fuck you, I'm not debating." And also because they keep trying him. They keep bringing him into court. They keep ... L- There's all these cases that they keep bringing up. They just ... Lawsuit into oblivion. You know, it's ... The whole thing is wild.

   17. ARAaron Rodgers45:53

       But it, it just emboldens his followers, though.

   18. JRJoe Rogan45:55

       Yeah. It does. It has the exact opposite effect. I mean, it's a similar sort of playbook in, in a lot of ways to what they did during the pandemic, where the more they attack him, the more people are like, "What the fuck is true?"

   19. ARAaron Rodgers46:09

       Yeah.

   20. JRJoe Rogan46:09

       Because I don't believe you guys anymore. And when you're going after him, I kind of think that you're just doing this because you don't want him to win. And that's banana republic shit. When you're prosecuting your political opponents, specifically because you don't want your political opponents to be able to make it to the vote, that's banana republic shit. That's, that's-

   21. ARAaron Rodgers46:28

       But that's what we're living in.

   22. JRJoe Rogan46:29

       Yeah.

   23. ARAaron Rodgers46:30

       We have a, a captured media system. We have a captured, uh, medicine system.

   24. JRJoe Rogan46:36

       Yeah.

   25. ARAaron Rodgers46:37

       We have-

   26. JRJoe Rogan46:37

       Education systems.

   27. ARAaron Rodgers46:38

       Captured education system.

   28. JRJoe Rogan46:39

       Yeah.

   29. ARAaron Rodgers46:40

       Like ... And we're Team America world police with bases all over the world. It's ... Every country on the southern and, and eastern border of Russia.

   30. JRJoe Rogan46:50

       What I'm hoping is ... One of the things that's happened over the last few years specifically is the deterioration of the trust of media because of the access to information that people have now, where it's just undeniable. At a certain point in time, they have to admit certain things like lab leak theory. They have to admit certain things. They're, they're avoiding like the plague this all-caused mor- mortality increase. But enough people are aware of it. Enough people know people that have been vaccine injured. Enough people know people that have died. Enough people know young people that have had heart attacks. Where it's ... There's enough suspicion and there's enough pause, where people are reconsidering, and then there's been this silent shift to the center, of people that were, like, radically left. Friends of mine that I had-
5. 1:00:00 – 1:11:32

   I can't believe they…

   1. JRJoe Rogan1:00:00

      and moving away and wearing these goggles on the street.

   2. ARAaron Rodgers1:00:03

      I can't believe they got Trump on the escalator though. That to me is one of the craziest ones when they got him wa- riding the escalator down like he did in that one moment where I think he had just declared-

   3. JRJoe Rogan1:00:12

      Oh, yeah.

   4. ARAaron Rodgers1:00:12

      ... declared for the presidency and he kind of rode this elevator down.

   5. JRJoe Rogan1:00:15

      Yeah. How do you think they did that?

   6. ARAaron Rodgers1:00:16

      And they had that...

   7. JRJoe Rogan1:00:16

      Do you th- This is what I think.

   8. ARAaron Rodgers1:00:18

      Time traveler?

   9. JRJoe Rogan1:00:19

      I don't think time traveler, but I think that if you are so into-

   10. ARAaron Rodgers1:00:24

       This one right here.

   11. JRJoe Rogan1:00:24

       Here it is.

   12. ARAaron Rodgers1:00:25

       Yeah.

   13. JRJoe Rogan1:00:25

       Look at this. They, they literally had Trump waving. It's the same photo. It's so crazy. God, that's so nuts. Oh, wait a minute. People think The Simpsons predicted Shrimps- Trump's win, but it's what? What does that say, Jamie, on the right-hand side?

   14. JVJamie Vernon1:00:43

       I don't know.

   15. JRJoe Rogan1:00:43

       What are they saying? It's not true? It's not true. Viral image claiming this show, scroll back up, called The 2016 Electoral Map Has Nothing To Do With Trump. They claim The Simpsons not only foresaw Donald Trump's run for president, but also predicted which states he'd carry, making the rounds as wro-... The claim is wrong.

   16. JVJamie Vernon1:01:01

       Oh, they're just saying the claim too much I, I would believe, but that picture...

   17. JRJoe Rogan1:01:05

       But the picture is they had Trump coming down the escalator-

   18. JVJamie Vernon1:01:08

       Yeah, yeah, it just goes too far.

   19. JRJoe Rogan1:01:08

       ... and he was going down the escalator and he did wave his right hand. I mean like, the thing is, it's the same image. Like no matter what, the fact that he did that and they pre- predicted it... I feel like some people, if you're intensely creative, and clearly those guys are, if you're constantly, you have your thumb on the pulse of satire and culture and where things are headed, I think you can see things. I think you get whispers from the muse. I think the, the universe sends you messages. There's like...... like, there's, uh, been talk about that with, uh, in, uh, Diana Pascual's book, um, American Cosmic, the, the, uh, the first book.

   20. ARAaron Rodgers1:01:53

       Jamie just-

   21. JVJamie Vernon1:01:54

       I was telling him about that.

   22. ARAaron Rodgers1:01:54

       ... gave me that rack before you got here.

   23. JRJoe Rogan1:01:55

       Yeah.

   24. JVJamie Vernon1:01:55

       He was telling me about it.

   25. JRJoe Rogan1:01:56

       She's fascinating.

   26. ARAaron Rodgers1:01:57

       I'm gonna read that. Yeah.

   27. JRJoe Rogan1:01:58

       But in that book, she, the, they, one of the things that they go into is 2001 and the monolith. Like, that these, these ali- ... The ... Whatever it is that brings this monolith to these, uh, p- primitive primates, and they see this thing, and this thing sort of represents where they're going to and what the future is. It's kind of ... It's, uh, it means some ... In the book, they theorize whether or not that's a, a television, or it's a screen, or it's a cellphone. But it's this something that's pulling us towards it, and that Kubrick recognized that. But Kubrick was a fucking genius, like a real scary genius. Like, he would do complex mathematics in his spare time, and all of his movies were encoded with all this weird, like, Easter eggy stuff. Like The Shining?

   28. ARAaron Rodgers1:02:46

       The Shining with the, the shirt?

   29. JRJoe Rogan1:02:48

       It's all about the moon landing.

   30. ARAaron Rodgers1:02:49

       Yeah.
