    (drum roll) Joe Rogan podcast,…

    1. JR

      (drum roll) Joe Rogan podcast, check it out.

    2. NA

      The Joe Rogan Experience.

    3. JR

      Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day. (rock music plays) What's up? (laughs)

    4. KW

      How are you?

    5. JR

      I can't believe we never met each other till today. That's kind of crazy.

    6. KW

      It's really weird.

    7. JR

      It's kind of crazy. It was always, like, at the store, they're like, "Kat was here last night." I'm like, "Fuck." It was always (whoosh) two ships in the night.

    8. KW

      Right. I would, I would see you and not be able to get to you. Like, comedy is small, but... only if you're mediocre.

    9. JR

      (laughs)

    10. KW

      It's big. It's a vast, vast place.

    11. JR

      It's vast and it's also small-

    12. KW

      Yeah.

    13. JR

      ... because there's so few of us. And worldwide? We were talking about this the other day. There's maybe 500 of us on the planet. You know, you gotta be real generous to say 500, because there's really probably about 250.

    14. KW

      Right.

    15. JR

      Like, legit comics? Guys you wanna hang out with? Guys who are fun? Guys who you'd recommend?

    16. KW

      Your number is going down.

    17. JR

      My number's going down. (laughs)

    18. KW

      Your number's going down. (laughs)

    19. JR

      Guys you'd recommend leave your house, get a babysitter? Your number's going down. There's not a lot of people.

    20. KW

      Right.

    21. JR

      You think about the billions and billions of people on the planet to us. A little smidgen of us.

    22. KW

      Well, as... as children, we all take to talking with ease. And so the fact that later on in your life, you'll be one of the people that could say, "I talk for a living," is, um, an amazing honor.

    23. JR

      It's amazing.

    24. KW

      Even if you look a thousand years back.

    25. JR

      Yeah. Especially today. To just be able to talk for a living? Oh my God. What? And that's the problem also with what we do, is that everybody can talk. So they see you talking.

    26. KW

      Mm-hmm.

    27. JR

      They're like, "I could do what he's doing."

    28. KW

      Right.

    29. JR

      "He's just up there talking."

    30. KW

      And the better you do it, the easier it looks-

  2. 15:0030:00

    Yeah. …

    1. JR

      wild pigs.

    2. KW

      Yeah.

    3. JR

      And you just hear them like, like Lord of the Rings characters in the bushes. (imitates pig sounds) And there's 150 of them near you, 250 of them, thousands on the ranch. They're all over the place and they have three litters a year, and they start having litters when they're six months old. They just pump out piglets, let's go.

    4. KW

      You can tell they're not delicious.

    5. JR

      They are delicious.

    6. KW

      Oh, well, then here we go then.

    7. JR

      They're delicious.

    8. KW

      We don't really have, we don't really have a problem then, do we?

    9. JR

      Right. No, we have a "we need to eat pigs" problem. (laughs)

    10. KW

      No, we need to be sending this off somewhere-

    11. JR

      Yeah.

    12. KW

      ... to someone who does.

    13. JR

      Well, definitely we should. That would be an easy way to solve a lot of hunger problems.

    14. KW

      I'm saying we live in a country where we're complaining about food sources.

    15. JR

      It's a good point.

    16. KW

      These chickens are pecking us to death. They're everywhere.

    17. JR

      (laughs)

    18. KW

      I can't eat and sleep. Yeah, but they're delicious, right?

    19. JR

      Yeah, have more chickens. Yeah, for sure. Yeah, we do have an overabundance problem, for sure. We really do. But the pig thing is a wild one. It's, it's hard to get them. Like you gotta... They're very smart and they spread out and there's so fucking many of them, they shoot them with helicopters.

    20. KW

      Oh, yeah. I've seen it. Right, right. It's-

    21. JR

      I've been invited three times since I moved here to go shoot pigs out of a helicopter.

    22. KW

      But that's part of the reason that you came to Texas.

    23. JR

      The freedom, for sure.

    24. KW

      Texas is a place of great adventure.

    25. JR

      Yeah.

    26. KW

      And people who believe in that, right?

    27. JR

      Yeah.

    28. KW

      It's really God's country in the right places.

    29. JR

      It is in the right places.

    30. KW

      Mm-hmm.

  3. 30:0045:00

    Who do you think…

    1. KW

      of years worth of people were there, but that doesn't have anything to do with the building of it.

    2. JR

      Who do you think built it?

    3. KW

      (clears throat) Well, understand, we, we know enough now to understand that this was a complex. This was not, um ...

    4. JR

      Right.

    5. KW

      (clears throat) We've been led to believe that this is how much they worshiped their dead bodies.

    6. JR

      Right.

    7. KW

      But the evidence doesn't show any of that.

    8. JR

      No, it doesn't.

    9. KW

      Like, like when you see inside, when they have those intricate carvings and paintings and stuff in gold and stuff, you have to remember, this is in a windowless room.... folks, there's no candle soot. There's no... There's, (laughs) uh, it, it's clearly a power plant and built specifically for that location on this planet for usage.

    10. JR

      What do you think it was powered by?

    11. KW

      Um, the, um, hot water springs underneath it.

    12. JR

      So, it was powered by the hot water springs?

    13. KW

      Mm.

    14. JR

      And to what... To what end? How do you know all this, first of all? Is this marijuana talk? (laughs)

    15. KW

      I don't, I don't think so.

    16. JR

      (laughs)

    17. KW

      Um, this is, um-

    18. JR

      Where did you read this?

    19. KW

      If you, if you follow information about humankind, you find out that in all parts of history, people were coming to this region for their information and their knowledge and their-

    20. JR

      Yes.

    21. KW

      ... things that were forbidden and their-

    22. JR

      Yep.

    23. KW

      These, these were not, um... These were the highest of human civilization here.

    24. JR

      Not even comparable to anyone else.

    25. KW

      No.

    26. JR

      Nor since. Nor since.

    27. KW

      Now or... Yeah.

    28. JR

      Nor since.

    29. KW

      Right.

    30. JR

      The Great Pyramid of Giza is insane.

  4. 45:001:00:00

    (laughs) It's the spot.…

    1. KW

      hole can be, a galaxy, a universe, and then showed you the best of the best. (laughs)

    2. JR

      (laughs) It's the spot. I mean, in our solar system, we're the best neighborhood that's ever existed. They all suck. Every other planet sucks.

    3. KW

      We're rudimentary enough that we still require environmental help.

    4. JR

      Right, until you get that chip. Once you get that chip-

    5. KW

      At each point-

    6. JR

      (laughs)

    7. KW

      ... i- it would be like, it would be like saying people that, um, didn't learn how to ride horses, they were slow. Like, they couldn't run fast enough, so they got horses.

    8. JR

      Right.

    9. KW

      No, it didn't have anything to do with that. Better is better.

    10. JR

      That's, that's really what it's gonna be, better is better.

    11. KW

      Right, right.

    12. JR

      We're all gonna integrate.

    13. KW

      Like, we would, we, we would've told you 30 years ago that we wouldn't need a Space Force unless we went up there and found something.

    14. JR

      I think the Space Force, the idea is that they're worried about-

    15. KW

      It's not an idea.

    16. JR

      ... someone else being in space first with weapons flying around.

    17. KW

      You mean us?

    18. JR

      Yeah. Well-

    19. KW

      (laughs)

    20. JR

      ... if we can do it, they could do it. That's the thing.

    21. KW

      They, who is they?

    22. JR

      Whoever it is.

    23. KW

      No.

    24. JR

      China.

    25. KW

      There's only humankind-

    26. JR

      Yes.

    27. KW

      ... and alien.

    28. JR

      Oh, I agree.

    29. KW

      Right.

    30. JR

      The problem is, this is what we really need, we really need this Neurolink to lock us all together so everybody could read everybody's mind. That's what's gonna happen and then there's gonna be no more leaders.

  5. 1:00:001:15:00

    Right. …

    1. KW

      like, I was able to be in each of these stories. You follow what I'm saying?

    2. JR

      Right.

    3. KW

      And, and, um, I was getting so much information. Like half of those I probably had to write a one-page report on after, you know. But, um, yeah. That was my whole thing. And I... The numbers aren't even really accurate 'cause I read more than that because, like, sometimes-

    4. JR

      (laughs)

    5. KW

      (laughs) ... sometimes I would read something and I wouldn't get it. Like-

    6. JR

      Oh.

    7. KW

      Like, there was this classic book called Little Women that I probably read it four times 'cause I just didn't... I didn't understand it and I knew it was a classic, but...

    8. JR

      I never read it. What's it about?

    9. KW

      ... it's about-

    10. JR

      Have you read it, Jimmy?

    11. KW

      ... some little women.

    12. NA

      As a kid, I just, I just watched an episode of Curb where they were talking about it. That's-

    13. JR

      What does this story go?

    14. KW

      Well, uh, well, I d- here's the thing.

    15. NA

      Sisters? I don't know. (laughs)

    16. KW

      Yeah, right, right. Like, four sisters think that.

    17. JR

      Okay.

    18. KW

      Okay? But they, they had money and, uh, an incredible circumstance. But the thing was, I didn't have any sisters, so I didn't have anything to pull from, and I didn't have women in my life like that. So, um, yeah, a lot of things I would have to read multiple times for me to get-

    19. JR

      Right, to try to think how they thought.

    20. KW

      Right. Well, yeah, like even, like, um, The Three Musketeers, like, I probably read it three times because I... (sighs)

    21. JR

      (laughs)

    22. KW

      You know, it was so... I read it, like, the first time to read it, but then the next time, I had to read it again because these characters were really distinct characters.

    23. JR

      Right.

    24. KW

      And I couldn't figure out, "Wait a minute, did this happen really in history or was somebody just this good at telling this story of the..." You know?

    25. JR

      (laughs)

    26. KW

      But, um, but it's things like that that leads you to the Knights Templar story, which leads you to, you know, seeing how things through history have remained. You know what I mean? Like, um, all of that you get from the books.

    27. JR

      Well, history, to me, has always been the most fascinating thing because you can't quite imagine it. You're trying to imagine it, you're piecing it together-

    28. KW

      Yeah.

    29. JR

      ... listening to these stories and you just sit back and go, "What the fuck was that like?"

    30. KW

      Right.

  6. 1:15:001:30:00

    Yeah. …

    1. KW

    2. JR

      Yeah.

    3. KW

      ... though, right?

    4. JR

      (smacks lips) Yeah, but he's also put a date on the Roadster, when that Tesla Roadster's coming out. That motherfucker's never gonna see the light of day. (laughs) When is, when is that car coming out?

    5. KW

      No, because at-

    6. NA

      He said something about it the other day.

    7. JR

      That car is supposed to be out for years.

    8. NA

      Yeah, it was supposed to be out two or three years ago, I think.

    9. KW

      That's-

    10. JR

      Goddamn it.

    11. KW

      ... that's part of being a billionaire.

    12. JR

      Sure.

    13. KW

      Is it's not worth putting out something that's not right. It doesn't matter how bad it's wanted.

    14. JR

      Well, he actually explained that. He said it was man- and manufacturing is insanely difficult. And the way he explained it, it's, uh, you know, you don't consider it 'cause of, you know, people just manufacture things, think it's normal. But he was like, "The process of manufacturing, especially like a car, an electric car, insanely difficult."

    15. KW

      H- he had a harder time doing that Cybertruck than he did (laughs) -

    16. JR

      Yeah.

    17. KW

      ... space stuff.

    18. JR

      Cybertruck's hard. Well, it's all folded steel. It's this fucking massive, 7,000 plus pound folded steel truck that goes zero to 60 in three seconds, and it looks like it's from the future. It looks like if you were gonna watch a movie-

    19. KW

      It's the hottest thing on Mars.

    20. JR

      It's crazy. (laughs)

    21. KW

      (laughs)

    22. JR

      Yeah. That's what, that's what it is.

    23. KW

      Yeah.

    24. JR

      Yeah. It looks like the most futuristic car ever.

    25. KW

      Right.

    26. JR

      Yeah. But-

    27. KW

      As kids, that's what we drew.

    28. JR

      ... I don't know when we're going to Mars, and I don't know who the fuck's gonna do that. That's a six-month journey, and you're just hoping-

    29. KW

      So what? (exhales) So what?

    30. JR

      Several billionaires were talked into getting into a capsule with limited air.

  7. 1:30:001:35:22

    Here's the whole thing.…

    1. KW

      Here's the whole thing. No one who has ever seen more space or the universe than you and I has ever seen anything that was bullshit.

    2. JR

      What do you mean?

    3. KW

      In the universe.

    4. JR

      Uh, what I mean is, like, fake UFO footage. There's a lot of fake footage. I would wanna see, if you could see something yourself, and I have good friends that have, I have good friends that have had experiences-

    5. KW

      (laughs)

    6. JR

      ... that they say, "There is no fucking way that that is us, that this is something else."

    7. KW

      Right. Just understand that part of the job in any of these circumstances is to kick up kerfuffle, like-

    8. JR

      Right.

    9. KW

      ... that's part of it. Like, if you live in Florida, you see how many times things go off into space, and you know that there's a pattern between that and government airplanes, and like-

    10. JR

      Mm-hmm.

    11. KW

      ... like, our stories of cooperation have been nothing but cooperative, as they could only be. Like, we don't hold any leverage.

    12. JR

      I think some of the shit that we're seeing is our stuff.

    13. KW

      Right. I'm saying, but nobody would have a way of... Like, as advanced as we are, we still gotta let that balloon fly over, right?

    14. JR

      Yeah. (laughs)

    15. KW

      (laughs)

    16. JR

      ... uh, uh, uh, uh, what the fuck is that? That's the most obvious shit ever. That's your neighbor peeking over the fence.

    17. KW

      No, it is not.

    18. JR

      (laughs)

    19. KW

      It is your neighbor's drone.

    20. JR

      Yeah, your neighbor's drone.

    21. KW

      In your yard.

    22. JR

      Hovering over your house, yeah.

    23. KW

      Right.

    24. JR

      Ridiculous.

    25. KW

      Right.

    26. JR

      (laughs)

    27. KW

      Filled with a pinata-

    28. JR

      (snorts)

    29. KW

      ... of the next COVID.

    30. JR

      Right. I mean, what are they doing? Flying robots.
