    (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) Dude, I get it now.

    4. TD

      You get it?

    5. JR

      I get it. I get, I get, I get the whole thing. The glasses.

    6. TD

      You see how powerful you feel? (laughs)

    7. JR

      Yeah. You feel like you could talk shit, like you're in another dimension.

    8. TD

      It, it... All the things that you do, like working out and, and, and succeeding, you don't need to really do a lot of that if you put these on.

    9. JR

      Yeah.

    10. TD

      You get a lot of the effects-

    11. JR

      (laughs)

    12. TD

      ... of like your, (laughs) you know, like being a trained fighter and all that crap. If you just put these on, you kind of get the idea of that.

    13. JR

      Hmm.

    14. TD

      Until someone calls you out and kills you, but-

    15. JR

      Yeah, you gotta avoid, like, actual conflicts.

    16. TD

      You gotta run away.

    17. JR

      But you do feel superior to people.

    18. TD

      Oh, for sure.

    19. JR

      Like you have a suit on or something.

    20. TD

      Yeah, for-

    21. JR

      Like an Iron Man suit.

    22. TD

      It's a... It keeps you away. It, it, there's a distance between you and other people now.

    23. JR

      That must be why celebrities wear them when they go out.

    24. TD

      Probably.

    25. JR

      You know, like, like we'll see, like at concerts or UFC fights, you'll see celebrities with full-on sunglasses.

    26. TD

      Interesting.

    27. JR

      Yeah. They're like a cat hiding underneath a, a chair-

    28. TD

      (laughs) Yeah.

    29. JR

      ... and the tail's hanging out. It's like, "You can't see me, but I can see you, stupid."

    30. TD

      Yeah. No, people, they, they do give you some... And a lot of people, I guess, are on drugs.

  2. 15:0030:00

    Right? …

    1. TD

      of.

    2. JR

      Right?

    3. TD

      It's, it's... Yeah.

    4. JR

      So you would probably, if you're, especially if you're one of those celebrities that made that video about Trump-

    5. TD

      Right.

    6. JR

      ... you can't turn course now.

    7. TD

      No.

    8. JR

      Those people, that's out there forever. You know?

    9. TD

      Yeah.

    10. JR

      Remember those?

    11. TD

      Well, it's also I think older, old-

    12. JR

      Imagine there's, there's no heaven? (laughs)

    13. TD

      Yeah, there's no. Imagine there's-

    14. JR

      Remember that, remember that one?

    15. TD

      I think older people kind of, li-... Some of them like it because they go, "Yeah, well good for him." There's a lot of older people that don't-

    16. JR

      Right.

    17. TD

      ... wanna step down.

    18. JR

      Like when white guys won a white heavyweight boxing-

    19. TD

      That's exactly right.

    20. JR

      ... champion. Yeah.

    21. TD

      And there's a lot of old people that go, "I'm not gonna retire."

    22. JR

      Right.

    23. TD

      "I'm not gonna step down. I don't wanna go into, uh, assisted living. I wanna-"

    24. JR

      Remember Frankie? He made that pie til the day he died.

    25. TD

      Yeah.

    26. JR

      Til the day he died.

    27. TD

      Yeah.

    28. JR

      He was 102 years old. (laughs)

    29. TD

      He put the basil on, dropped dead. Yeah. I think they want... They look at this guy and they say, "Good for him."

    30. JR

      He's one of us. Yeah.

  3. 30:0045:00

    I laugh because- …

    1. TD

    2. JR

      I laugh because-

    3. TD

      You know, you know he had a really rough life.

    4. JR

      Did he?

    5. TD

      And you know his brother ... His father was a Nazi pedophile.

    6. JR

      Oh my God.

    7. TD

      This is true.

    8. JR

      Oh my God.

    9. TD

      And his father was all of Twitter. But no, he was a Nazi pedophile.

    10. JR

      (laughs)

    11. TD

      It's true. He would t- he would rape them and make them watch, uh, the Nazi stuff. This is ... I'm ... I know I sound like I'm lying a lot, and I am a lot, but this is true. You can look this up.

    12. JR

      Oh, God.

    13. TD

      His brother is a Rod Stewart impersonator.

    14. JR

      Oh, God.

    15. TD

      It wasn't great, the way that it went for anybody over there.

    16. JR

      Jesus Christ. According to Kevin Spacey, he was raised by a relentlessly abusive neo-Nazi father. Wow. Spent his dinners making antisemitic comments which terrified his children. Wow.

    17. TD

      Yes, and worse than beating and raping them, he was antisemitic.

    18. JR

      Wow.

    19. TD

      So he was really bad.

    20. JR

      Is that say that in here? The, the, the raping part?

    21. TD

      I believe, from what I know...

    22. JR

      ... that's his brother, the Rod Stewart impression?

    23. TD

      That he was a very abusive-

    24. JR

      Damn, brother's fucking got it nailed.

    25. TD

      The brother is really dialed.

    26. JR

      Boy, if I saw that dude at the fucking-

    27. TD

      Yeah, no, he's dialed.

    28. JR

      Yeah, if I was, like, uh, somewhere, I'd be like, "Holy shit, Rod Stewart?"

    29. TD

      Look at this, he alleges his father frequently raped and beat him. I mean, I'm not making it up, it's terrible.

    30. JR

      Oh my God, frequently raped and beat him. Oh, why didn't they put that in the title? Like, just the, the anti-Semitic comments, that seems like the least of the problem.

  4. 45:001:00:00

    Right. …

    1. JR

      journalists-

    2. TD

      Right.

    3. JR

      ... which is hilarious. Like when you see, like when Elon Musk sat down with Don Lemon-

    4. TD

      Yeah.

    5. JR

      ... and he realized, "Oh, you're not a j-"

    6. TD

      No.

    7. JR

      And like Don said it, or Elon said it best rather, he said, "Don is doing CNN outside of CNN."

    8. TD

      Right.

    9. JR

      Like he's, that's like what he thinks talking-

    10. TD

      Right.

    11. JR

      ... to people is.

    12. TD

      Yeah. No, they're, they're actors, they're showpieces, and they're mouthpieces for usually, uh, corporate America, and quite often whatever party makes corporate America feel cozy-

    13. JR

      Yeah.

    14. TD

      ... at the moment. Yeah.

    15. JR

      Yeah. It's a bizarre, bizarre merging of commerce and the news-

    16. TD

      Yeah.

    17. JR

      ... you know, that should have never... That's another thing no one saw coming, right? The founding fathers, they never saw that level of propaganda being possible, that you would have st- funded propaganda that was working step by step with the government.

    18. TD

      It's gotten to be, uh, but you know what? It's watching it fall apart over the last few years has been really interesting.

    19. JR

      Yeah.

    20. TD

      'Cause it is falling apart.

    21. JR

      Oh. Well, it has to.

    22. TD

      You are watching these guys and you go, "They are convincing nobody." I mean, I'm sure they're still convincing some people, but most free-thinking people, most people that don't have an investment in it are looking at it. It feels fake.

    23. JR

      Yeah.

    24. TD

      It all feels fake. I think people are starting to question it more than they ever have. I don't think the government will ever fully recover from the pandemic in terms of trust levels-

    25. JR

      Right.

    26. TD

      ... with all those kids who had to do proms in a car or wear masks jogging on a track.

    27. JR

      Mm-hmm.

    28. TD

      I don't think those kids ever look at the government the same way, and that's probably good.

    29. JR

      It's good. It's good.

    30. TD

      I think that's good.

  5. 1:00:001:09:50

    Yeah. …

    1. JR

      on where it would look at, like, conflicts.

    2. TD

      Yeah.

    3. JR

      You know, like with Ukraine, the left is all in for Ukraine, right? There's some people on the right that are in for Ukraine, but the left is pretty much all in. Right?

    4. TD

      They're all in.

    5. JR

      Putin's bad.

    6. TD

      The far left isn't.

    7. JR

      Yeah.

    8. TD

      But the- the mainstream left that we all know about is.

    9. JR

      But with Israel-

    10. TD

      Yeah.

    11. JR

      ... you have people on the left that are pro-Israel, a lot.

    12. TD

      Hardcore.

    13. JR

      Hardcore-

    14. TD

      Yeah.

    15. JR

      ... who just will find a way to rationalize-

    16. TD

      Yeah.

    17. JR

      ... the human shield argument-

    18. TD

      Yeah.

    19. JR

      ... no matter what it is. And no one is, like, being straight up about it. Everyone's being ideological about it. No one is saying, "The whole thing is chaos." No one is saying-

    20. TD

      No.

    21. JR

      ... you know, no one's talking about the history of the region, like the real history of the region, which is-

    22. TD

      Of course.

    23. JR

      ... really complex.

    24. TD

      It's very complex.

    25. JR

      It goes back forever. And then no one is looking at this like there's any kind of fucking solution that makes any sense.

    26. TD

      No.

    27. JR

      So you're either ide- y- so n- there's no, like, clear path, like, this guy's dead on-

    28. TD

      Right.

    29. JR

      ... and this is the way we have to treat this and this has to be handled. No, it's either Hamas is, you know, using human shields-

    30. TD

      Right.
