   3. Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night. All day. (instrumental music) So, Jamie, I'm sending you these things right now. You wanna feel like a lazy piece of shit?

   4. ASAkaash Singh0:17

      Uh, yeah.

   5. NANarrator0:18

      (laughs)

   6. ASAkaash Singh0:19

      (laughs) Yeah. Yeah.

   7. JRJoe Rogan0:20

      This is what me and Ari were saying to each other last night. This is all the Phish concert at The Sphere.

   8. NANarrator0:26

      Oh.

   9. ASAkaash Singh0:27

      Oh, Phish is a fascinating thing.

   10. JRJoe Rogan0:29

       Dude, the gra- you know The Sphere in Vegas?

   11. ASAkaash Singh0:32

       Yes.

   12. JRJoe Rogan0:32

       That giant globe.

   13. ASAkaash Singh0:33

       Yes.

   14. JRJoe Rogan0:33

       The whole ceiling is all LCD or-

   15. ASAkaash Singh0:37

       Completely-

   16. JRJoe Rogan0:38

       ... LED. What kind of screen is it?

   17. NANarrator0:40

       I don't know.

   18. JRJoe Rogan0:40

       Some-

   19. ASAkaash Singh0:41

       L- LED?

   20. JRJoe Rogan0:42

       LED, I would think.

   21. ASAkaash Singh0:42

       Whatever the best shit is. Yeah.

   22. JRJoe Rogan0:43

       It's like a billion-dollar building.

   23. ASAkaash Singh0:45

       Yeah.

   24. JRJoe Rogan0:45

       But the screens on the ceiling, so Phish utilizes these for all these, like, crazy, trippy-

   25. ASAkaash Singh0:52

       Yeah.

   26. JRJoe Rogan0:52

       ... psychedelic images, and so while the show is going on people are just like, "Wow."

   27. ASAkaash Singh0:58

       Yeah.

   28. JRJoe Rogan0:58

       It's like the greatest fucking thing I've ever seen in my life. Look at this.

   29. ASAkaash Singh1:01

       Oh, that's-

   30. JRJoe Rogan1:02

       That's the ceiling.
2. 15:00 – 30:00

   Yes. …

   1. ASAkaash Singh15:00

   2. JRJoe Rogan15:00

      Yes.

   3. ASAkaash Singh15:00

      I'm so glad I waited til I was 37 to do any of this. I don't think I could have handled it when I was a kid.

   4. JRJoe Rogan15:04

      That's smart. That's actually smart.

   5. ASAkaash Singh15:05

      But shrooms are the best. Oh, when you were showing me that Phish thing, all I was thinking about is-

   6. JRJoe Rogan15:09

      Oh, my god.

   7. ASAkaash Singh15:09

      ... I'm gonna get shrooms, take us to a Phish show, sit there, and lose my mind.

   8. JRJoe Rogan15:13

      Ari Shaffir is trying to convince me to go to a makeup specialist and get a, like a prosthetic nose and chin.

   9. ASAkaash Singh15:18

      Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

   10. JRJoe Rogan15:19

       Yeah, like, just get a-

   11. ASAkaash Singh15:19

       You got to ...

   12. JRJoe Rogan15:20

       Yeah, put a wig on maybe, maybe get a wig.

   13. ASAkaash Singh15:22

       Shrooms before?

   14. JRJoe Rogan15:23

       Yeah.

   15. NANarrator15:23

       Not a blonde one.

   16. JRJoe Rogan15:24

       Not a blonde one. People will know. Yeah, maybe a redhead. Maybe I'll be a redhead and, uh, eat some baggy clothes or something like that.

   17. ASAkaash Singh15:32

       Yeah.

   18. JRJoe Rogan15:32

       You know?

   19. ASAkaash Singh15:32

       Yeah.

   20. JRJoe Rogan15:32

       Something to-

   21. ASAkaash Singh15:33

       But shrooms, though.

   22. JRJoe Rogan15:33

       ... hide the guns.

   23. ASAkaash Singh15:34

       But ... (laughs)

   24. JRJoe Rogan15:35

       (laughs) Like, if my, just my tattoos, if anybody identifies those. You have to, uh, you, you get, if you're gonna go to a Phish concert, you have to just be one with the crowd.

   25. ASAkaash Singh15:46

       Yes.

   26. JRJoe Rogan15:46

       And you can't do that if you're famous.

   27. ASAkaash Singh15:48

       Oh, interesting.

   28. JRJoe Rogan15:49

       So you gotta, you gotta be able to sneak in and just-

   29. ASAkaash Singh15:51

       Okay.

   30. JRJoe Rogan15:51

       ... just, just take it in. Wow.
3. 30:00 – 45:00

   Yeah. …

   1. JRJoe Rogan30:00

      them are so smug.

   2. ASAkaash Singh30:01

      Yeah.

   3. JRJoe Rogan30:01

      Is, uh, is that a prerequisite for being a barista? You have to, like, look at people-

   4. ASAkaash Singh30:06

      Can I, can I tell you-

   5. JRJoe Rogan30:07

      ... sideways?

   6. ASAkaash Singh30:07

      ... I'm trying to tip better as I feel I'm more blessed. And I remember COVID being like, "Oh, yeah. These, these tips are... It's an important thing to do."

   7. JRJoe Rogan30:13

      Right.

   8. ASAkaash Singh30:14

      But if you give me any attitude, the way I press zero and then spin it back around to you so you can see me not tip, it makes me so happy. I, I'm overjoyed.

   9. JRJoe Rogan30:22

      Penny.

   10. ASAkaash Singh30:23

       Zero.

   11. JRJoe Rogan30:23

       That's a penny.

   12. ASAkaash Singh30:23

       There you go, buddy. That's a Texas thing, I think, to a degree. We don't like rudeness at all.

   13. JRJoe Rogan30:28

       Right.

   14. ASAkaash Singh30:28

       Very, "Yes, sir. No, sir." I'm raised, "Yes, sir. No, sir. Yes, ma'am. No, ma'am. Please, thank you." These were h- huge when I was growing up.

   15. JRJoe Rogan30:34

       Yeah.

   16. ASAkaash Singh30:34

       So if you don't give me that, I feel so, like, "Who the fuck?"

   17. JRJoe Rogan30:37

       There's a real benefit in that kind of Texas-friendly, like, politeness.

   18. ASAkaash Singh30:42

       Yes.

   19. JRJoe Rogan30:42

       There's a real benefit. That makes everybody feel better.

   20. ASAkaash Singh30:44

       Absolutely.

   21. JRJoe Rogan30:45

       I call people "ma'am" and "sir" all the time.

   22. ASAkaash Singh30:47

       Yeah.

   23. JRJoe Rogan30:47

       Makes everybody feel better.

   24. ASAkaash Singh30:49

       Yeah. And now that I'm old, nobody gets offended anymore because I'm older than the people I'm-

   25. JRJoe Rogan30:52

       Right. (laughs)

   26. ASAkaash Singh30:52

       ... sirring or ma'aming 95% of the time. Yeah.

   27. JRJoe Rogan30:55

       Yeah. I'm always older than young guys that I'm calling sir.

   28. ASAkaash Singh30:58

       Yeah.

   29. JRJoe Rogan30:58

       But it's, it's, um, you know, it feels good. Makes everybody feel better.

   30. ASAkaash Singh31:02

       Yeah.
4. 45:00 – 1:00:00

   Yeah. …

   1. JRJoe Rogan45:00

      difference between people my age that take care of themselves and people my age that neglect their health. They, they deteriorate. Like, I have friends that are my age, and when I tell people we're the same age, p- They're like, "What?"

   2. ASAkaash Singh45:13

      Yeah.

   3. JRJoe Rogan45:13

      Like, th- they p- O- other people can't even believe it. "How is that guy your age?"

   4. ASAkaash Singh45:16

      Yeah.

   5. JRJoe Rogan45:17

      Like, because he didn't do anything.

   6. ASAkaash Singh45:18

      Right.

   7. JRJoe Rogan45:18

      He didn't take care of himself.

   8. ASAkaash Singh45:19

      Yeah.

   9. JRJoe Rogan45:19

      Like, you have to take care of your s- You gotta treat your body like it's a fucking car.

   10. ASAkaash Singh45:22

       Yeah.

   11. JRJoe Rogan45:23

       If your car's b- got a fucked up transmission, get it fixed.

   12. ASAkaash Singh45:26

       Yeah.

   13. JRJoe Rogan45:27

       If you- (laughs)

   14. ASAkaash Singh45:27

       Yeah, yeah.

   15. JRJoe Rogan45:28

       Change your fucking oil, stupid.

   16. ASAkaash Singh45:30

       Have you, have you seen this guy Brian Johnson? He was on Flagrant.

   17. JRJoe Rogan45:33

       Yes.

   18. ASAkaash Singh45:33

       He's fascinating, dude.

   19. JRJoe Rogan45:34

       Yes.

   20. ASAkaash Singh45:34

       He's fascinating.

   21. JRJoe Rogan45:35

       Yeah.

   22. ASAkaash Singh45:36

       He says he eats like 1800 calories a day and he ... The saying he says is kinda fire. He goes, "Every calorie is fighting for its life. Every calorie has a purpose, and if we can't find a purpose for you, you're, you're out."

   23. JRJoe Rogan45:46

       Yeah.

   24. ASAkaash Singh45:46

       "Every piece of food has a purpose."

   25. JRJoe Rogan45:48

       He's also like injected his son's blood into him and ...

   26. ASAkaash Singh45:51

       Yeah, yeah. It's ... So when I first-

   27. JRJoe Rogan45:54

       (gasps)

   28. ASAkaash Singh45:54

       ... read articles ... Here's what I'll say. Wh- when I would just read articles, he's coming on the pod for researching, and I'm like, they paint him as like this billionaire fuckboy who just wants to be a billionaire and have sex with 18-year- or whatever. They kinda make him seem like that. When you talk to him, he's like, "I think humans can live forever with the help of AI, and I just wanna push us there." And you feel like, oh yeah, this is not ... He's not ... Like, he was wearing like a unicorn shirt when we saw him, and like some blue corduroys. No- nothing fashionable about this man.

   29. JRJoe Rogan46:21

       Mm-hmm.

   30. ASAkaash Singh46:22

       He just ... And I think his dad is pretty sick, and so he, I think, wants to make humans live forever very soon so his dad can stick around. It's actually like there's a lot more nobility to it when I talk to him than when I just read articles about him.
5. 1:00:00 – 1:02:37

   Yeah, yeah, yeah. 'Cause…

   1. JRJoe Rogan1:00:00

      and then all of a sudden, they put a ban on them. And I'm like, "There must be some real shit going down with the United States government."

   2. ASAkaash Singh1:00:06

      Yeah, yeah, yeah. 'Cause we let them... Yeah, we let them get away with a lot.

   3. JRJoe Rogan1:00:08

      What does it say here, Jamie?

   4. NANarrator1:00:09

      Uh, there's a fine when you... Or there was, uh, a social upbringing fee or a social maintenance fee.

   5. ASAkaash Singh1:00:16

      Oh, in China, if you have more than one kid?

   6. NANarrator1:00:18

      And then it says, "The Sichuan Province abolished the three-child policy, making it completely okay."

   7. JRJoe Rogan1:00:24

      Allowing parents to legally have as many children as they want. The real problem is the lack of women.It's, uh, the differen- eh, what is the population difference between men and women in China? I think it's like 60-something percent men.

   8. ASAkaash Singh1:00:38

      Yeah. That's, yeah.

   9. JRJoe Rogan1:00:39

      That's a problem.

   10. ASAkaash Singh1:00:40

       Yeah, that's a real problem.

   11. JRJoe Rogan1:00:40

       That's a real problem because the reality, uh, at least in America, um, America has a very high level of men who, uh, are single and, uh, have no sex.

   12. ASAkaash Singh1:00:57

       Yeah.

   13. JRJoe Rogan1:00:57

       It's pretty high.

   14. ASAkaash Singh1:00:58

       Yeah. I was one of those for a long time.

   15. JRJoe Rogan1:00:59

       Here it is. (laughs) 720 male inhabitants and 689 female. That's not too bad.

   16. ASAkaash Singh1:01:06

       Yeah.

   17. JRJoe Rogan1:01:06

       That is b- what is that about? That's not 60%.

   18. ASAkaash Singh1:01:09

       No. It's a little over 50. I think, like, 54, probably 53, if I had to guess.

   19. JRJoe Rogan1:01:14

       Okay.

   20. ASAkaash Singh1:01:14

       Ballpark.

   21. JRJoe Rogan1:01:15

       That's not too bad.

   22. ASAkaash Singh1:01:16

       Yeah.

   23. JRJoe Rogan1:01:17

       Um, China's total population decreased for the first time in decades in 2022, and population decline is expected to accelerate in the upcoming years. And that's because of the population of women versus men.

   24. ASAkaash Singh1:01:29

       Yeah.

   25. JRJoe Rogan1:01:29

       It's-

   26. ASAkaash Singh1:01:29

       And then the g- sorry, the gap in genders could increase because the older people-

   27. JRJoe Rogan1:01:32

       Mm-hmm.

   28. ASAkaash Singh1:01:32

       ... that didn't have the one child policy, they're gonna start dying off.

   29. JRJoe Rogan1:01:34

       Exactly.

   30. ASAkaash Singh1:01:35

       Yeah.
