   1. NANarrator0:00

      (drumming music) Joe Rogan podcast, check it out.

   2. The Joe Rogan Experience.

   3. JRJoe Rogan0:06

      Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night. All day. (rock music) Um, what's up? What's going on, man?

   4. RHRaanan Hershberg0:13

      Hey, how's it going? Thanks for having me.

   5. JRJoe Rogan0:14

      Thanks for coming in. My pleasure. What's going on?

   6. RHRaanan Hershberg0:16

      Hell yeah. It's an honor. Uh, good to, good... Yeah, good to be here. Um, the cold showers, what we were talking about before.

   7. JRJoe Rogan0:22

      Yeah, yeah.

   8. RHRaanan Hershberg0:23

      Tho- those are the hardest.

   9. JRJoe Rogan0:24

      Oh, well New York City cold showers in the winter are brutal.

   10. RHRaanan Hershberg0:28

       Because it doesn't get your whole body, so you actually have to constantly move around-

   11. JRJoe Rogan0:31

       Mm-hmm.

   12. RHRaanan Hershberg0:31

       ... and re-freeze your ass off. You know what I mean?

   13. JRJoe Rogan0:34

       Well, it's just, it's hard to breathe too. You're like, "Ah, ah, ah."

   14. RHRaanan Hershberg0:36

       Yeah, yeah, yeah.

   15. JRJoe Rogan0:37

       "Ah, ah, ah."

   16. RHRaanan Hershberg0:38

       I used to do them for a while, though.

   17. JRJoe Rogan0:40

       When I was a kid, when I used to do martial arts, there's this dude I used to work out with named Bob Cafarella, and he was like a real psycho. And Bob used to always take sho- cold showers. He said it was good for the spirit.

   18. RHRaanan Hershberg0:49

       It is.

   19. JRJoe Rogan0:50

       And we would all be sitting around going, "What the fuck is wrong with him?"

   20. RHRaanan Hershberg0:53

       (laughs)

   21. JRJoe Rogan0:53

       This guy's in the, the shower. It was January in Boston and this guy's in the shower just fucking freezing. Ah.

   22. RHRaanan Hershberg0:59

       But I, I feel like when you do it, it's like you feel afterwards this awakeness-

   23. JRJoe Rogan1:03

       Oh, yeah.

   24. RHRaanan Hershberg1:03

       ... that you only get with drugs. Like that, like fucking, like, "Oh, I'm..." Like, you never realize how not present you are until you take a cold plunge.

   25. JRJoe Rogan1:10

       Right.

   26. RHRaanan Hershberg1:10

       And then you're like, "Oh, now I'm fucking in the world." (laughs)

   27. JRJoe Rogan1:13

       Right, because your body's trying to protect you from dying. You know?

   28. RHRaanan Hershberg1:16

       Yeah, which is a real rush. (laughs)

   29. JRJoe Rogan1:18

       (laughs) It's, it... Well, it really is, though. It's norepinephrine, that's the big one.

   30. RHRaanan Hershberg1:21

       Yeah.
2. 3:07 – 7:47

   Endorphins, ultrarunners, and sports obsessions (tennis, chess, golf, games)

   1. JRJoe Rogan3:07

      I have a buddy of mine that was doing a marathon every day.

   2. RHRaanan Hershberg3:11

      Oh, really?

   3. JRJoe Rogan3:11

      Yeah. He, he's a psycho. He does these ultra marathons.

   4. RHRaanan Hershberg3:14

      Oh, my god.

   5. JRJoe Rogan3:15

      Where they run for three days. He does, uh-

   6. RHRaanan Hershberg3:17

      It's like Forrest Gump, but he... No, Forrest Gump was...

   7. NANarrator3:19

      (laughs)

   8. RHRaanan Hershberg3:20

      But For-... No, Forrest Gump was running.

   9. JRJoe Rogan3:21

      Yeah, yeah.

   10. RHRaanan Hershberg3:22

       Jesus.

   11. JRJoe Rogan3:22

       He ran across America. But they do these things through the mountains, like they do the Moab... I think it's the Moab two f-... 200 or 240. So it's 240 miles through mountains.

   12. RHRaanan Hershberg3:32

       Oh, my God.

   13. JRJoe Rogan3:33

       It's not just, like, straight 240 miles. Like, you're going over mountains and hills and shit.

   14. RHRaanan Hershberg3:37

       Which is insane. I can run for about seven minutes and I'm probably lying about that.

   15. NANarrator3:43

       (laughs)

   16. JRJoe Rogan3:44

       (laughs)

   17. RHRaanan Hershberg3:44

       I'm definitely lying. I can run for about four minutes before I have to, like, stop.

   18. JRJoe Rogan3:48

       I don't... I used to not run at all, and then I, I entered into a 5K, and I couldn't believe how hard it was to do.

   19. RHRaanan Hershberg3:54

       It's insane.

   20. JRJoe Rogan3:55

       I thought I was in reasonably good shape.

   21. RHRaanan Hershberg3:57

       Yeah, it's crazy how much more in shape other people are. (laughs)

   22. NANarrator4:00

       (laughs)

   23. JRJoe Rogan4:00

       Well, especially running shape.

   24. RHRaanan Hershberg4:02

       Like the runners-

   25. JRJoe Rogan4:03

       Yeah.

   26. RHRaanan Hershberg4:03

       ... the people who can do the sprints, the... You know what I mean?

   27. JRJoe Rogan4:05

       Oh, yeah.

   28. RHRaanan Hershberg4:05

       They can do something f- for, like, a really long time that I can do for maybe, like, two seconds.

   29. JRJoe Rogan4:12

       I think they're drug addicts too, though.

   30. RHRaanan Hershberg4:13

       Yeah, yeah, yeah.
3. 7:47 – 9:20

   ADHD, boredom in school, and the hunter-gatherer advantage theory

   1. JRJoe Rogan7:47

      I think that's the deal with a lot of kids that are bored in school and they're calling them ADHD.

   2. RHRaanan Hershberg7:52

      Right.

   3. JRJoe Rogan7:52

      I think they think that the subjects that are being discussed are boring as fuck.

   4. RHRaanan Hershberg7:56

      Of course. Why-

   5. JRJoe Rogan7:57

      They're bouncing off the walls. They're 13 years old. They have so much fucking energy.

   6. RHRaanan Hershberg7:59

      Why is it never the teacher's fault?

   7. JRJoe Rogan8:01

      Exactly.

   8. RHRaanan Hershberg8:01

      It's like, why, why did the teacher say something interesting? It's insane. It's like, to be like, "Oh, no, no, they're just ... (laughs) It's like when the audience doesn't laugh and you're like, "No, no, no. I'm ... It's not that I'm not funny." It's that you have laughing deficit disorder. It's like-

   9. JRJoe Rogan8:12

      Yeah.

   10. RHRaanan Hershberg8:13

       ... it's throwing the ball onto something else. Be interesting.

   11. JRJoe Rogan8:16

       There was an article in one of the science journals recently about ... Uh, one of the science magazines recently, about ADHD. And then they were saying that it is ... It was actually, uh, an advantage to think that way for hunter-gatherers.

   12. RHRaanan Hershberg8:30

       Oh, wow.

   13. JRJoe Rogan8:31

       And that that's ... This is leftover from where they, they're constantly looking at other things and trying to pay atten- And they could focus on one thing, like, very intensely.

   14. RHRaanan Hershberg8:38

       Oh, wow.

   15. JRJoe Rogan8:39

       But they're scanning for a bunch of other stuff.

   16. RHRaanan Hershberg8:40

       But you notice.

   17. JRJoe Rogan8:41

       Yeah.

   18. RHRaanan Hershberg8:41

       You, you're like, "Ooh, what's that?" And then it's, like, a raspberry and you're like-

   19. JRJoe Rogan8:43

       Also, they're always in activity and motion. ADHD may have evolved to help foragers know when to cut their losses.

   20. RHRaanan Hershberg8:49

       (laughs)

   21. JRJoe Rogan8:49

       Oh, interesting. This isn't-

   22. RHRaanan Hershberg8:50

       You're too focused, you get-

   23. JRJoe Rogan8:51

       This is interesting.

   24. RHRaanan Hershberg8:52

       ... you get killed.

   25. JRJoe Rogan8:53

       This is not the one that I read, 'cause this is from February. The one I read was just a couple of days ago. But symptoms of attention-deficit hyper- hyperactivity disorder, such as impulsivity, may have helped foragers and hunter-gatherer communities quickly move on to new areas when food s- sources were low. Oh.

   26. RHRaanan Hershberg9:08

       That's amazing.

   27. JRJoe Rogan9:09

       Hmm.

   28. RHRaanan Hershberg9:09

       So if you're too focused, you, you don't, you don't know when to quit.

   29. JRJoe Rogan9:13

       Right.

   30. RHRaanan Hershberg9:13

       And then you get fucking killed or you run out of resources.
4. 9:20 – 10:15

   Adderall addiction escalations and the psychiatrist who prescribed the problem

   1. RHRaanan Hershberg9:20

      And now ... Yeah. Well, you know, I got really addicted to, uh, Adderall, like everyone.

   2. JRJoe Rogan9:24

      (laughs) Oh, wow. I'm scared of that, too. I've never tried it.

   3. RHRaanan Hershberg9:27

      I used to, when I was in ... After college, I started taking it, like, recreationally. And then j- I went to a, a psychiatrist and told her I had a problem. And she was like, "Well, we can prescribe it for you."

   4. JRJoe Rogan9:38

      Oh, Jesus Christ. (laughs)

   5. RHRaanan Hershberg9:40

      Then it'll no longer be a problem.

   6. JRJoe Rogan9:41

      Oh, my God.

   7. RHRaanan Hershberg9:42

      I was like, "Okay." I was thinking more, like, rehab, but sure.

   8. JRJoe Rogan9:44

      What kind of fucking psychiatrist are you going- (laughs)

   9. RHRaanan Hershberg9:46

      She's probably on Adderall right now. She's like, "Want to try it?"

   10. JRJoe Rogan9:48

       I know. I'm amazing. Why don't you join me? (laughs) It's insane. And I-

   11. RHRaanan Hershberg9:51

       Let's clean my house.

   12. JRJoe Rogan9:52

       (laughs)

   13. RHRaanan Hershberg9:52

       (laughs) I did it for, like ... I got super ... I was doing 90 milligrams a day. I was like-

   14. JRJoe Rogan9:57

       Is that a lot, Jamie? It's a lot. That's a lot?

   15. RHRaanan Hershberg9:59

       Yeah. You're like-

   16. JRJoe Rogan9:59

       What is a normal dose?

   17. RHRaanan Hershberg10:01

       F- 10?

   18. NANarrator10:02

       Yeah, when I did 20, I was fucking up for s- 48 hours or something like that. And then I'd need to take it.

   19. JRJoe Rogan10:06

       Whoa.

   20. RHRaanan Hershberg10:06

       It's crystal meth for nerds, but it's crystal meth. I mean, it's fucking ... It's like-

   21. JRJoe Rogan10:10

       Yeah.

   22. RHRaanan Hershberg10:11

       It's intense. I was so cocky. I, I wrote poetry. That's how high I was. I thought I could write poetry.

5. 10:15 – 11:07

   Nazis on speed, Hitler’s drug cocktail, and war fueled by stimulants

   1. JRJoe Rogan10:15

      This, this gentleman, Norman Ohler, was on my podcast, uh, two weeks ago.

   2. RHRaanan Hershberg10:19

      Oh.

   3. JRJoe Rogan10:19

      And he wrote all about the meth-

   4. RHRaanan Hershberg10:21

      I saw you posted about that.

   5. JRJoe Rogan10:22

      ... and the, the Third Reich. Dude, it's crazy.

   6. RHRaanan Hershberg10:25

      And speed, yeah.

   7. JRJoe Rogan10:25

      The whole thing was meth. They were all meth-ed up. They were meth-ed up when they fucking did the blitzkrieg.

   8. RHRaanan Hershberg10:30

      I do a bit about that now, about Hitler being on speed. I, I'm obsessed with Hitler. I'm like-

   9. JRJoe Rogan10:34

      Oh, man.

   10. RHRaanan Hershberg10:35

       I have, like ... One of my bookshelves is just all Holocaust and Hitler books.

   11. JRJoe Rogan10:38

       Really?

   12. RHRaanan Hershberg10:38

       Yeah. But I, I'm, I'm dying to read that. I know, uh, Goring was on everything. He was on-

   13. JRJoe Rogan10:43

       They were all on everything.

   14. RHRaanan Hershberg10:44

       Goring was on, like, huge painkillers the whole time. He was like-

   15. JRJoe Rogan10:48

       So was Hitler.

   16. RHRaanan Hershberg10:48

       Yeah.

   17. JRJoe Rogan10:48

       Hitler was on ... One of the things, the misconceptions that are, he was on meth. It appears a lot of what he was on was oxys. He was on oxycodone.

   18. RHRaanan Hershberg10:56

       Wow.

   19. JRJoe Rogan10:56

       Yeah, they had the original oxycodone.

   20. RHRaanan Hershberg10:58

       So th- they were just, like, high. It's like when you get high and you ru- ru- run over someone.

   21. JRJoe Rogan11:02

       Yeah.

   22. RHRaanan Hershberg11:02

       And they're just like ... They, they were like, "What the fuck did I do when I was high?" Like, I'm su-

   23. JRJoe Rogan11:05

       They don't even care.

   24. RHRaanan Hershberg11:05

       "I killed all the Jews." (laughs)

6. 11:07 – 15:07

   Pills, impaired drivers, and dark comedy backfiring (SIDS heckle story)

   1. JRJoe Rogan11:07

      Did you ever see that video of the lady who's on pills and the cops are telling her to pull over and she doesn't know why and she has no wheel on her car?

   2. RHRaanan Hershberg11:14

      (laughs)

   3. JRJoe Rogan11:14

      Her car is, like, spitting flames. Have you ever seen it?

   4. RHRaanan Hershberg11:17

      No, I've not seen it.

   5. JRJoe Rogan11:17

      And they pull over and she's like, "What's the problem?"

   6. RHRaanan Hershberg11:20

      (laughs)

   7. JRJoe Rogan11:20

      And the, the, the cop's like, "Ma'am, are you on pills?"

   8. RHRaanan Hershberg11:22

      (laughs)

   9. JRJoe Rogan11:22

      Like, what the fuck is going on? How do you not know you lost a wheel on the highway?

   10. RHRaanan Hershberg11:26

       You know what? I, I-

   11. JRJoe Rogan11:27

       You gotta see it. It's bonkers.

   12. RHRaanan Hershberg11:29

       No, that's insane. I, yeah, it is ... Like, the Nazis were just all on drugs, which-

   13. JRJoe Rogan11:33

       Yep.

   14. RHRaanan Hershberg11:33

       ... is, is just, like, a crazy ... I mean, the whole Third Reich is surreal, that, that created this, you know?

   15. JRJoe Rogan11:37

       Yeah. Look at this. So here's this lady. She's just driving, like nothing's wrong, waving, "Hi."

   16. NANarrator11:43

       ... back of another car near Quail Hill Shopping Center. She says her car just gave out. Police say the woman was not impaired.

   17. JRJoe Rogan11:50

       (laughs)

   18. NANarrator11:50

       And they didn't arrest her. The police don't-

   19. JRJoe Rogan11:51

       What the fuck are you talking about? If that lady's on pills ...

   20. RHRaanan Hershberg11:54

       (laughs)

   21. JRJoe Rogan11:55

       (claps) If she's not impaired, she shouldn't be ever driving.

   22. RHRaanan Hershberg11:58

       (laughs)

   23. JRJoe Rogan11:58

       If you don't notice you lost a wheel-

   24. RHRaanan Hershberg12:00

       Right. That's a, that's a big red flag.

   25. JRJoe Rogan12:02

       Did they ... Was that the same one? That might not have even been the same one.

   26. NANarrator12:05

       There's a longer video of what was happening. Look on the screen, longer video.

   27. JRJoe Rogan12:09

       Right. Okay. This is it. Like, there's no way you don't know that.

   28. RHRaanan Hershberg12:13

       Oh, my God. (laughs)

   29. NANarrator12:13

       (laughs)

   30. JRJoe Rogan12:13

       There's no way you don't know.
7. 15:07 – 22:24

   The craft of standup: risk, roteness, filming sets, and Louis CK’s leaked set

   1. JRJoe Rogan15:07

      But you also, you got in p-... I think ... The filming thing is fucking strange, right? Because some people want to get filmed, 'cause you can get some clips-

   2. RHRaanan Hershberg15:16

      Right.

   3. JRJoe Rogan15:16

      ... like interacting with the audience.

   4. RHRaanan Hershberg15:18

      Right.

   5. JRJoe Rogan15:19

      But it's like, you, you have to have an opportunity to work out stuff.

   6. RHRaanan Hershberg15:23

      Of course. Yeah.

   7. JRJoe Rogan15:23

      Because there's times when you're on stage and you're saying things and you, you have a new bit, and you don't know where you're taking it while you're taking it there.

   8. RHRaanan Hershberg15:31

      Of course. Yeah. And you have to like ... That's why when they looped the Louis thing-

   9. JRJoe Rogan15:34

      Yeah.

   10. RHRaanan Hershberg15:34

       ... it was ... Any comic who had like criticized him should lose their comedian badge right away.

   11. JRJoe Rogan15:38

       They have to me.

   12. RHRaanan Hershberg15:39

       Because like-

   13. JRJoe Rogan15:40

       Yeah. They-

   14. RHRaanan Hershberg15:40

       You, if you release something when they weren't planning for it, it doesn't matter what they said in it, you're at fault for releasing something, you know?

   15. JRJoe Rogan15:46

       Well, it's y- ... Obviously it was an audience member that released it, but the comics that criticized him, I'm like, "Hey, man, fuck you." Like y- you pretended ... First of all, the guy didn't do comedy for 10 months.

   16. RHRaanan Hershberg15:55

       Yeah.

   17. JRJoe Rogan15:55

       And then second, the stuff that he was saying, if you know him and you know his act, and I guarantee you fucking do, 'cause a lot of those people are just haters.

   18. RHRaanan Hershberg16:03

       Yeah.

   19. JRJoe Rogan16:04

       If you know him, you know given enough time, he would make that horrible premise really fucking funny.

   20. RHRaanan Hershberg16:10

       Yes. And frankly, it was pretty funny then. (laughs)

   21. JRJoe Rogan16:11

       Pretty funny then. Pretty funny.

   22. RHRaanan Hershberg16:12

       Like ...

   23. JRJoe Rogan16:13

       I mean, it was horrible what he's saying, like push the fat kid in front of you, but-

   24. RHRaanan Hershberg16:15

       But that's funny. (laughs)

   25. JRJoe Rogan16:16

       ... but you don't think there would be layers upon layers that would make that joke brilliant-

   26. RHRaanan Hershberg16:21

       Right.

   27. JRJoe Rogan16:21

       ... in a year if you just let him do it?

   28. RHRaanan Hershberg16:23

       And you learn the cushions, like he didn't have the cush-

   29. JRJoe Rogan16:25

       Yes.

   30. RHRaanan Hershberg16:25

       You learn ... Louis, people like Louis, the great comics are great at learning how to make a hard joke work.
8. 22:24 – 29:50

   Writing systems, recording sets, and Joe’s ‘Orphan Babies’ folder

   1. JRJoe Rogan22:24

      Yeah, yeah, with an hour. But y- y- sometimes you just gotta set it aside. And then sometimes I'll come back to it, you know. I have, like, a, a, a whole folder that I call Orphan Babies-

   2. RHRaanan Hershberg22:36

      (laughs)

   3. JRJoe Rogan22:36

      ... and it's all bits that never made it on anything.

   4. RHRaanan Hershberg22:38

      That's great to keep a record.

   5. JRJoe Rogan22:39

      Yeah.

   6. RHRaanan Hershberg22:40

      That's, that, that's a great thing to me.

   7. JRJoe Rogan22:41

      You have to, 'cause at first, yeah.

   8. RHRaanan Hershberg22:42

      That's the hard part, forgetting everything.

   9. JRJoe Rogan22:44

      I forget them sometimes if a friend brings them up.

   10. RHRaanan Hershberg22:46

       (laughs)

   11. JRJoe Rogan22:46

       Like, they're like, "What about the hyena thing?" I'm like, "Aw, I fucking forgot that."

   12. RHRaanan Hershberg22:49

       I'm like that. People-

   13. JRJoe Rogan22:49

       "How does it go?"

   14. RHRaanan Hershberg22:50

       People bring that up and they're like, "Oh, yeah. Why did I stop doing that joke?" (laughs) And then they'll start doing it again.

   15. JRJoe Rogan22:53

       Yeah. (laughs) It's, uh, I know. Yeah, it's weird.

   16. RHRaanan Hershberg22:54

       It's stuff like, I requi- I, I did an hour, released an hour, like, a couple months ago, and so I'm trying to work out a new hour. It's tough when you have that, 'cause there's a lot of jokes you just probably don't care about that much, but you need-

   17. JRJoe Rogan23:05

       Yeah.

   18. RHRaanan Hershberg23:05

       ... it in there just for the... you know?

   19. JRJoe Rogan23:06

       Right, right, right.

   20. RHRaanan Hershberg23:07

       It's like scaffolding, you know? (laughs)

   21. JRJoe Rogan23:08

       Exactly. Right? To keep the bits together so they're coherent sometimes.

   22. RHRaanan Hershberg23:12

       But in my head I'm like, "Uh, I don't care about this one."

   23. JRJoe Rogan23:14

       I think everybody should have a, a folder that they just put on... Everybody should write.

   24. RHRaanan Hershberg23:18

       Yeah.

   25. JRJoe Rogan23:18

       I mean, I, I know everybody likes to write on stage and I get it, and there's some of the greats that write on stage.... but I, if you're listening, if you're not those people, everybody else, you should write.

   26. RHRaanan Hershberg23:28

       Yeah, 'cause you can go back and not forget them. I have a whole... My bookshelf looks like Seven. You know, where he has all the notebooks-

   27. JRJoe Rogan23:35

       Yeah. (laughs)

   28. RHRaanan Hershberg23:36

       ... and the serial code. (laughs)

   29. NANarrator23:36

       (laughs)

   30. JRJoe Rogan23:36

       That's great.
9. 29:50 – 46:15

   Groundbreaking art ages: Lenny Bruce, Oklahoma!, Wizard of Oz, and old-movie savagery

   1. RHRaanan Hershberg29:50

      And still impossible to understand, but... (laughs)

   2. JRJoe Rogan29:52

      Yeah, a lot of it, right?

   3. RHRaanan Hershberg29:53

      I listen to him, I'm like, "I don't..." It was a different time where saying Yiddish was really, like, hip. (laughs)

   4. JRJoe Rogan29:58

      Right. Lenny? Yeah.

   5. RHRaanan Hershberg29:59

      He was like, "Yeah, you know the meshuggeneh geysims."

   6. JRJoe Rogan30:01

      That's true. (laughs) Well, the thing about Lenny was th- no one had ever talked like that publicly.

   7. RHRaanan Hershberg30:06

      Right.

   8. JRJoe Rogan30:07

      So this was a totally unique thing, that you have to take in the context of 1963.

   9. RHRaanan Hershberg30:12

      Some of the most groundbreaking stuff feels the most dated later.

   10. JRJoe Rogan30:15

       Yes.

   11. RHRaanan Hershberg30:15

       'Cause it is so groundbreaking that everyone, the model changed.

   12. JRJoe Rogan30:19

       The whole world changed the way they think about things, and then talking about things openly the way he did became normal.

   13. RHRaanan Hershberg30:27

       Right, right.

   14. JRJoe Rogan30:27

       So he's doing normal things to us.

   15. RHRaanan Hershberg30:29

       But it seems... Yeah, no, it's like that musical Oklahoma! seems like such a standard thing.

   16. JRJoe Rogan30:34

       Right.

   17. RHRaanan Hershberg30:34

       But at the time it was super experimental. It was the first one where they, they, uh, they had, like, uh, not a chorus on stage right away, or someone singing. A- and a narrative, like a narr- Like, musicals before that were reviews. And, uh... You like how I switched it to musicals? (laughs) You're like-

   18. JRJoe Rogan30:47

       Yeah.

   19. RHRaanan Hershberg30:48

       You're like, "Go back to comedy."

   20. JRJoe Rogan30:49

       No, musicals are cool.

   21. RHRaanan Hershberg30:50

       I love musicals. But it was like, it was groundbreaking at the time.

   22. JRJoe Rogan30:53

       Right.

   23. RHRaanan Hershberg30:53

       A narrative story. Most shit before that was, like, reviews. And they broke a lot of rules, but now it's just Oklahoma!

   24. JRJoe Rogan30:59

       Right.

   25. RHRaanan Hershberg30:59

       You know? But it was, like, an experimental thing at the time.

   26. JRJoe Rogan31:02

       Like The Wizard of Oz.

   27. RHRaanan Hershberg31:03

       Yeah.

   28. JRJoe Rogan31:03

       The Wizard of Oz was monumental when it came out.

   29. RHRaanan Hershberg31:07

       Oh, yeah.

   30. JRJoe Rogan31:07

       Like, it was something that everybody saw. It was one movie that you would guarantee everybody you talked to had seen The Wizard of Oz.
10. 46:15 – 59:21

    Zoos as prisons: the San Francisco tiger attack and predator psychology

    1. JRJoe Rogan46:15

       And they shouldn't be there. I, I don't, I don't agree with zoos at all.

    2. RHRaanan Hershberg46:19

       You don't like zoos?

    3. JRJoe Rogan46:19

       No, I don't. I d- I used to l- I'm a hypocrite because I took my kids to them 'cause I want my kids to be able to see these animals 'cause it's kinda cool to see a two-year-old staring at a hippo-

    4. RHRaanan Hershberg46:27

       Yeah.

    5. JRJoe Rogan46:27

       ... "Whoa."

    6. RHRaanan Hershberg46:28

       Right, of course, yeah.

    7. JRJoe Rogan46:29

       But the reality is, they're prisons. They're prisons for animals that didn't do anything wrong. And-

    8. RHRaanan Hershberg46:33

       But, it's a little different in the sense that their life outside of prison is pretty messed up. They're just getting killed.

    9. JRJoe Rogan46:41

       But it's, but it's natural.

    10. RHRaanan Hershberg46:42

        It is natural.

    11. JRJoe Rogan46:42

        It's not, they're not all getting killed. You know?

    12. RHRaanan Hershberg46:44

        Well-

    13. JRJoe Rogan46:44

        They're doing some killing too, which is also unnatural that you just feed these things that l- live to kill.

    14. RHRaanan Hershberg46:50

        I guess the zoo is better for the prey. (laughs)

    15. JRJoe Rogan46:53

        (laughs) It's definitely bet- well, I used to have a joke about that too, about the only peop- animal that I don't feel bad about in the zoo is giraffes.

    16. RHRaanan Hershberg46:59

        They're having a great time.

    17. JRJoe Rogan47:00

        They don't seem to have any problem with it at all. They're like, "Another day with no lions."

    18. RHRaanan Hershberg47:03

        (laughs)

    19. JRJoe Rogan47:04

        (laughs)

    20. RHRaanan Hershberg47:04

        Well, it's like, yeah, if that's jail, like freedom-

    21. JRJoe Rogan47:06

        Yeah.

    22. RHRaanan Hershberg47:06

        ... to them just getting chased by... Like if, if you, if you were in prison and outside of prison you could just get eaten at any time-

    23. JRJoe Rogan47:12

        Yeah.

    24. RHRaanan Hershberg47:12

        ... prison wouldn't look so bad.

    25. JRJoe Rogan47:14

        Well, as long as they have a big enough enclosure-

    26. RHRaanan Hershberg47:16

        Yeah.

    27. JRJoe Rogan47:16

        ... and they can walk around, they don't seem to have any problem with it.

    28. RHRaanan Hershberg47:19

        Yeah, it sucks for the predators 'cause they can't like hunt.

    29. JRJoe Rogan47:21

        Exactly.

    30. RHRaanan Hershberg47:22

        And then they always put the tiger like next to the giraffe or the lion just to fuck with them. (laughs)
11. 59:21 – 1:04:30

    Studio power flickers, Texas grid talk, and why snow days ruled

    1. NANarrator59:21

       Oh, there it goes again.

    2. RHRaanan Hershberg59:32

       Oh, there it goes again?

    3. NANarrator59:40

       It's the hottest day of the year. We're gonna have that problem with the AC being overpowered. But yeah, I mean, I'll turn everything back on. I-

    4. JRJoe Rogan59:45

       Is today the hottest day of the year?

    5. NANarrator59:47

       So far, yeah, it's gonna be 107.

    6. JRJoe Rogan59:48

       Oh, God. Um...

    7. NANarrator59:50

       Oh, yeah, I mean, we're still recording.

    8. JRJoe Rogan59:52

       Really?

    9. NANarrator59:52

       Yeah.

    10. JRJoe Rogan59:52

        The cameras shut off and on, too, though. The-

    11. NANarrator59:55

        I don't, I don't know what to tell you. I, th- everything's-

    12. JRJoe Rogan59:56

        The screen's still on, camera's are still on.

    13. RHRaanan Hershberg59:58

        Okay.

    14. NANarrator59:59

        Bed's still moving, time's still going.

    15. JRJoe Rogan1:00:00

        How hot is it today?

    16. NANarrator1:00:02

        106.

    17. NANarrator1:00:03

        ... nine, seven.

    18. JRJoe Rogan1:00:04

        God, didn't feel like it.

    19. RHRaanan Hershberg1:00:05

        The, uh ... You ever be at a, at, at a club where the lights go?

    20. NANarrator1:00:08

        Oh. I don't (laughs) know what to do. Uh, we might wanna stop for, like, five minutes to make sure this doesn't keep happening while we have the opportunity, before it fucks up more. I don't know, your call.
