Shirt talk and conspiracy riffing: Epstein, Diddy, and “keeping it on the DL”
- NANarrator
(drumbeats) Joe Rogan podcast, check it out.
The Joe Rogan Experience.
- JRJoe Rogan
Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night. All day. (rock music) Can I see your shirt?
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Of course.
- JRJoe Rogan
It's pretty tight. (laughs)
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Is it tight, you mean?
- JRJoe Rogan
No, no, nice.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Oh, okay.
- JRJoe Rogan
Like, tight.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Nice.
- JRJoe Rogan
Nice.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
I feel like they're gonna sue me.
- JRJoe Rogan
For the shirt?
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
I don't know.
- JRJoe Rogan
Did you sell it?
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
I'm trying to.
- JRJoe Rogan
I don't think they wanna sue anybody.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
No?
- JRJoe Rogan
I think they wanna keep it on the DL, especially you, 'cause you could just go on podcasts and talk about it.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Not if I'm dead.
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
(laughs) I could talk about it til I'm dead.
- JRJoe Rogan
Let's see, if they, if they haven't killed, there's so many p- ... If they haven't killed Malice, if they haven't... There's so many people that they haven't killed.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
I'd be a fun kill, though. They just-
- JRJoe Rogan
Just whacked you out of nowhere.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Come to the Bronx. It's like so easy to just kill me.
- JRJoe Rogan
Right. Anybody gets killed in the Bronx.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
Happens all the time.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
And nobody cares.
- 3:17 – 5:28
Clintons, Hillary vs. Kamala, and what makes a good candidate
- JRJoe Rogan
It is crazy. And meanwhile the guy was like hanging out with Oprah, hanging out with Obama.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Jay-Z. Everybody.
- JRJoe Rogan
Everybody, everybody.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
I'm sure the Clintons were there at some point.
- JRJoe Rogan
Maybe Bill.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Bill is so nice.
- JRJoe Rogan
"I went one time."
- NANarrator
Was he?
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
He's so ni- Like, when I met them-
- JRJoe Rogan
So charming.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
He is, and he's actually still kinda good-looking, like even for an-
- JRJoe Rogan
You like him?
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
... older dude.
- NANarrator
Yeah?
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Yeah. Why not? He's still so good-looking, and she's just so miserable.
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, she was publicly humiliated, and she thought that her big retribution would become president, you know, become president.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Sure.
- JRJoe Rogan
And then that would be it, all water under the bridge. "I'm a strong woman. I'm running this country." And then America was like, "Nah."
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
I mean, it doesn't matter what color you are, America does not want a woman in charge. (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, that's not exactly true because she won the popular vote.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
She d- I mean, not, uh, Kamala though.
- JRJoe Rogan
No, but Kamala was a terrible candidate.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
The difference between her and Hillary, it's night and day.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
That's true. Well, Hillary had a lot of experience too. She's been doing this for a long time.
- JRJoe Rogan
Sure. She was his st- Secretary of State, and on top of that, she could answer questions.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Sure.
- JRJoe Rogan
Like you could have a qu- question on, w- with her about like, "What would we do differently if you were president about the Israel-Gaza conflict?"
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Sure.
- JRJoe Rogan
She would have something off the top of her head. "What would you do differently than Joe Biden?" She wouldn't say, "I can't think of a thing." She would never say that.
- 5:28 – 6:43
Why Kamala didn’t do JRE: campaign chaos and marijuana questions
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
I was surprised she didn't come on the podcast a little bit.
- JRJoe Rogan
It seems like, and this is all reports, these are all anecdotal reports, right? But it seems like her campaign was kind of chaotic, like no one could make a decision.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
They had I don't know how many conversations with my folks.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
But multiple conversations, giving different dates, different times, different this, different that. And we knew that she was going to be in Texas, so I said, "Open invitation."
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Right. You said, "You can come whenever you want."
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. "Anytime. You pick a time, I will be here."
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
And you would've been the best person for her to talk to 'cause you're not gonna attack her. You would just ask her questions, but that's the problem. I don't know if she'd be able to answer those questions.
- JRJoe Rogan
I'll ask her a question, but th- I think they had requirements on things that she didn't wanna talk about. She didn't wanna talk about marijuana legalization, which I thought was hilarious.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Why?
- JRJoe Rogan
Like that's so-... because of her prosecuting record.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Oh. Well, I mean, that is, like, p-... That was her old job, though.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. And, you know, she put a lot of people in jail for weed. 1,500, apparently.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
That's not really that many, though.
- JRJoe Rogan
Allegedly.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
1,500.
- JRJoe Rogan
I'll tell those guys. Those 1,500 together in a room...
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Are they still, are they still in prison?
- JRJoe Rogan
No.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Oh, okay.
- JRJoe Rogan
I think they're lost their release.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Then they're fine now.
- JRJoe Rogan
Well-
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Prison really builds character.
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
You go in there, you really figure out what kind of person you are.
- 6:43 – 7:50
Prison labor, routines, and the psychology of forced work
- JRJoe Rogan
(sighs) I bet it does. Yeah. But when you are, um, held past your release date to fight wildfires-
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
... for the state, because Kamala Harris wants you to do that-
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Sure.
- JRJoe Rogan
... with the swipe of my pen.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Right. You guys are... I mean, it's not, like-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
... the worst idea, to just clean up the wildfires.
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, you should probably pay people for all work.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Sure.
- JRJoe Rogan
You know? Even prisoners.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
I'm like, that's just free.
- JRJoe Rogan
(inhales deeply) Uh, I got a problem with all that. I mean, I have a problem with slave labor in prison, 'cause it's essentially mandated, r-
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
Like, you have to, you have to have a job in some prisons.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
But I mean, what else are you gonna do in prison? Like, if you're not-
- JRJoe Rogan
Read books, do push-ups.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Okay, but at some point, I'm gonna-
- JRJoe Rogan
Not have someone tell you what to do.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
If... I'm gonna wanna do hair, I'm gonna wanna cook at some point. Like, you just do need a routine. Otherwise, the time ne-... How many books can you read every single day?
- JRJoe Rogan
That's true. That's true. Yeah. How many yoga classes can you take?
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
You just need a schedule, kind of, just to like... I don't know, that just helps your day go by. Like, even if you hated it, you would-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
... still need... Like, when I was on unemployment for a period, I'm like, "I'm actually very bored." You know what I mean? Like, you, you like it for a couple of days, but you need that routine to kind of, like... I don't know. I w- if I was in prison, I'd want a job.
- 7:50 – 10:34
Sponsor break then automation anxiety: AI, UBI, and purpose
- JRJoe Rogan
This episode is brought to you by The Farmer's Dog. Dogs are amazing. They're loyal, they're lovable. Like, just having Marshall around can make my day ten times better. And I'm sure you love your dog just as much, and you want to do your best to help them live longer, healthier, happier lives. And a healthy life for your dog starts with healthy food, just like it does for us. There's a reason having a balanced diet is so important. So, how do you know if your dog's food is as healthy and as safe as it can be? Well, Farmer's Dog gives you that peace of mind by making fresh, real food, developed by board certified nutritionists to provide all the nutrients your dog needs. And their food is human-grade, which means it's made to the same quality and safety standards as human food. Very few pet foods are made to this strict standard. And let's be clear, human-grade food doesn't mean the food is fancy. It just means it's safe and healthy. It's simple, real food from people who care about what goes into your dog's body. The Farmer's Dog makes it easy to help your dog live a long, healthy life by sending you fresh food that's pre-portioned just for your dog's needs, because every dog is different. And I'm not just talking about breeds. From their size to their personality to their health, every dog is unique. Plus, precise portions can help keep your dog at an ideal weight, which is one of the proven predictors of a long life. Look, no one, dog or human, should be eating highly processed foods for every meal. And it doesn't matter how old your dog is, it's always a great time to start investing in their health and happiness. So, try The Farmer's Dog today. You can get 50% off your first box of fresh, healthy food at thefarmersdog.com/rogan. Plus, you get free shipping. Just go to thefarmersdog.com/rogan. Tap the banner or visit this episode's page to learn more. Offer applicable for new customers only. This is my fear when it comes to, um, automation, AI. And then ultimately, I think everyone's gonna have to have universal basic income. I think all countries are gonna have to have it. I think United States is gonna have to have it too. And, um, people need a purpose. They need a thing.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
For sure.
- JRJoe Rogan
They need an identity. And a lot of people identify with whatever their job is. You know, they, they find... They take pride in it. It means something to them to show up at work and have people say they do a great job, and, "You're very valuable to the company." And you, you know, the customers like you. And all that stuff is really good for people. It's good for self-esteem, it's good for giving you a purpose. If, if universal basic income is a thing, which I think it's going to have to be a thing, it's gonna be real weird psychologically for people to adjust to that.
- 10:34 – 11:56
Riots, CVS loot stories, and sunscreen locked behind glass
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
I think there'd probably be a lot of riots. Like, I don't know, what else would you do?
- JRJoe Rogan
L- just riot with government money. (laughs)
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Yeah, I was thinking Trump might not win and there was gonna be a bunch of riots, and I would be able to just get, like, a free computer. Like, I was kind of hoping for that.
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, you know you could buy a computer anytime you want.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
No, I want it for free.
- JRJoe Rogan
Successful comedian.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Listen, a free computer is better than a computer you have to pay for.
- JRJoe Rogan
Is it?
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Wouldn't you feel guilty at all?
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
No, if they're rioting? Everything's for free.
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
That's the rule.
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs) That was the rule during George Floyd.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
But that's what I'm saying. During Black Lives Matter, I lived by a CVS that was, like, getting broken into all the time. I have, like, shampoo and conditioner for years.
- JRJoe Rogan
Did you go in there?
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Yeah, why not? I was in there when it was happening. I was like, "Well-"
- JRJoe Rogan
You're gonna get arrested. Shh.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
How?
- JRJoe Rogan
Don't say that.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
No.
- JRJoe Rogan
These are all jokes, right?
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Wink. They're all jokes.
- JRJoe Rogan
Wink is all eyes.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Listen, I was just supporting Black Lives Matter, and that's how you do it.
- JRJoe Rogan
That's how you do it. You get shampoo for free.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Shampoo and conditioner.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. The most racist thing I ever saw was a CVS that had everything locked up except sunscreen.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
I mean, that's pretty much how it is in every CVS.
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- 11:56 – 13:30
Sunlight, vitamin D, and a detour into horny wordplay
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, I was reading this thing where they were talking about that... See if you can find this. So, what this person was saying was that people who spend less time in the sun are more likely to get deadly skin cancer.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Is it 'cause your body's not used to it yet or... Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Uh, yeah, you get cooked. You know, your body doesn't have any melanin, so you go out there and you get, like, fucking burnt to death, and your body develops cancers. But also you're not... You don't have vitamin D.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
So, vitamin D is like a critical hormone. It protects you from a lot of things. It's, it's...... it's crucial for your immune system. It's crucial for a lot of different functions.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
It's also interesting, because one time we were at the cellar and Louie kept telling me that I needed vitamin D because I'm so white. And I was just like, "Vitamin, is that a real thing?"
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
It just sounds like dick. (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Vitamin, I was like, "Wait, what?"
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, you need vitamin D. (laughs)
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
I was like, "Is that like a real thing?" (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, you're so white, you need some vitamin D. (laughs)
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
So you need to get fucked by somebody. That's gonna help you out.
- JRJoe Rogan
That's the only thing that's gonna help you.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
That's the only thing that's gonna keep me alive?
- JRJoe Rogan
Imagine if that was true. Imagine if like the only way you can maintain health is to get fucked.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
I mean, it makes sense. People that are homeless are just like fingering themselves all the time. There must be something to it.
- JRJoe Rogan
I think they're mentally ill.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Sure, but they also are like, "I want to stay alive."
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
"I want to stay, I want to prolong this homelessness." (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
"Keep me alive as long as we can."
- JRJoe Rogan
Th- there's a book I read, Fingering Yourself for Health. (laughs)
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
I mean, all of the homeless people on 6th Street, they're just like fingering themselves constantly.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, there's a lot of that kind of activity-
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Yeah.
- 13:30 – 18:38
Homelessness, despair, and why CEOs aren’t the model life
- JRJoe Rogan
... with the ho- homeless pe- ... Oh, I think they just give up on shame, on everything, and they just-
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
I think you're out of your mind.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
You have to be out of your mind.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Where you're like, "Who cares?"
- JRJoe Rogan
There's this poor lady on 6th Street, there's a gas station that I only go to if everything's gone totally wrong and I need gas, for sure.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
You just run out of it. (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
But you're like, you're there, you get out of your car, you're ready to fight people. It's a sketchy gas station.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Oh, I guess.
- JRJoe Rogan
And there's this poor lady who her head, instead of being like here, her head is like, it's like it's broken, her neck is broken.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Okay.
- JRJoe Rogan
And so her head is like down here, and she, she has to look at you like this. She can't lift her chin o- off of her sternum. Like literally, down like this, and she's just a bag of bones, just barely alive.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Like, o- okay, obviously we're not gonna help homeless people, like there's no money in helping poor people. Like let's give them all fentanyl, clean up the streets-
- JRJoe Rogan
Ugh.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
... do the kindest thing we can for them.
- JRJoe Rogan
Odium?
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Yeah. If I'm on the street for longer than a week, please kill me. It's not going well.
- JRJoe Rogan
Some people have recovered. There's people who've gotten their shit together.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
How many?
- JRJoe Rogan
I don't know.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
How many CEOs were like, "I was on the street-"
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs) Zero CEOs.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
"... for years. And then I got some vitamin D. I turned it off." (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, how many CEOs enjoy life? That's the real question. I, just because something's difficult to do doesn't mean it's good to do. Right?
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Sure.
- JRJoe Rogan
Like some people think that becoming extremely wealthy and running a major corporation, because it's difficult to do, that's something you should aspire to. But those guys all die young. They all have heart attacks and strokes.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Yeah, it's a very high stress position.
- JRJoe Rogan
Insanely high stress.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
I would like-
- 18:38 – 23:31
Ari Shaffir’s special, cancel culture, and the Kobe backlash
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Ari's, but he's also so autistic, which is why, like, him even producing my special was so good because he's so, like, focused and he knows exactly what to do.
- JRJoe Rogan
Very focused. Loves standup as an art form.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Loves standup. He's the best at, like, not killing seats for the show.
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
He is the best person for that.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, yeah, yeah, he knows how important that is. Yeah. His special that he did was, the, the Jew special, was so ridiculous because they had to keep those candles lit, and so, like-
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Oh, no, I was there.
- JRJoe Rogan
... they had to constantly light them.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
I was there for it, I opened for it. It was so hot and he taped it in June.
- JRJoe Rogan
It w- (laughs)
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
It was so hot. I was on stage and I did, like, 15 minutes, I'm like, "Oh, it's really hot in here."
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, it's the fire behind you.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
I know.
- JRJoe Rogan
You think about all those candles. How much fire is that? That's a lot of fire.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
It's crazy. It was a crazy amount.
- JRJoe Rogan
Did they have, like, fire extinguishers standing by in case some shit went sideways?
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Probably. I'm sure there were some, like ... There might've been a fire marshal they had to hire just to make sure.
- JRJoe Rogan
Probably.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
But even if the whole place goes on fire, what's he gonna do? He's be like, "Well, there's a fire." (laughs) Like, what is he gonna-
- JRJoe Rogan
What's he gonna do? He's gonna run away.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Right, so what is he gonna do?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Like, I mean, you would need so many, uh, fire extinguishers.
- JRJoe Rogan
No, they're little tiny fires. They're a bunch of little itty-bitty fires. There's not, like, one major, like, i- i- all-consuming fire like that.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
What if it gets ahold of, like-
- JRJoe Rogan
Eh.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
... the curtain?
- JRJoe Rogan
Eh. If you have fire extinguishers ... How far back was the curtain from that? Was there a curtain at all?
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
I'm pretty sure there-
- JRJoe Rogan
There was a curtain. It looks like a curtain, right?
- 23:31 – 29:02
FEMA controversy to Fyre Festival 2: scams, influencers, and Mexico
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Bridget said something about the FEMA person who got fired 'cause if you had Trump, yeah, if you had, like a Trump-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
... thing on your ...
- JRJoe Rogan
Can you imagine that?
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
I know, but it's like, if you have any signs, that means your house didn't get hit hard by a hurricane.
- JRJoe Rogan
No.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Come on.
- JRJoe Rogan
No, 'cause you could have a Biden sign. Like, it doesn't matter.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Right, any sign.
- JRJoe Rogan
It doesn't- Right.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
But that's what I'm saying, if you have any sign-
- JRJoe Rogan
Depends on how the sign was secured. Depends entirely on how the sign was secured.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
If your roof came off, you think that sign's gonna be there?
- JRJoe Rogan
Bottom line is that's not what sh- she was saying. What she was saying is avoid all houses that have a Trump sign. You cannot do that.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Oh, I know, but I'm just saying f- what's funny to me is, like, if you have a sign and it didn't lift off the ground, like, how hard was your house hit?
- JRJoe Rogan
Could be flooding. Your house could've been completely flooded, you have no power, no electricity, no running water.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
I guess.
- JRJoe Rogan
Your house needs to be drained.... Fe- like, it's Federal Emergency Management. It's not supposed to be Federal Emergency Management for whoever this one person who's in charge with ideologically agrees with.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Oh, absolutely. I don't... I'm... I was making a joke. Like, if you have anything-
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
... there and it survived a hurricane, like, your house is probably fine.
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Also, I want FEMA funds to go to the Fyre Festival. Like, that's all-
- JRJoe Rogan
Ugh.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
... our f- our money should be going to those white guys trying to run a festival who fail.
- JRJoe Rogan
Do you know that guy's doing another one?
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
I know. Is it a... It's not a fire festival, is it?
- JRJoe Rogan
He's calling it f- I think he's calling it Fyre Festival 2.
- 29:02 – 33:58
Content creators as the #1 job: attention economy and reality-show editing
- JRJoe Rogan
There's so many of these fucking sketches and pranks that people are doing now on YouTube. It's like everybody... If you look at kids today, like, um... They did some sort of a survey where they asked kids, like, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" And most of them said famous.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Yeah, I mean you could get famous opening, like, unboxing videos.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Like, like, I mean-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. Looking at food.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
If you could do that, why wouldn't you wanna do that? I mean, I'd have a kid just to see if they could do that.
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, you know that kid on TikTok, Keith Lee? Do you know who he is? He just reviews food.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
No.
- JRJoe Rogan
With a sort of a monotone voice. He's actually brothers with a Y-... He was a MMA fighter himself, and he's brothers with Kevin Lee who was a, uh, a top UFC contender at one point in time. He just does these, like, sort of monotone videos where he reviews food.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Is he, like-
- JRJoe Rogan
Super, super popular.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
He's... Wow. Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. Like how many...
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
It's like, why even go to school if you could just unbox a video?
- JRJoe Rogan
Look at this. "One-of-a-kind study shows that 27 million paid creators operating in US, 11.6 million of them working full-time as creators." Wow.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Yeah, I mean, it's like they-
- JRJoe Rogan
Is that a number one job?
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
If you're from another country and you're like, "Why don't we just bomb America?" (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Wait a min-... That might be-
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
That's crazy.
- JRJoe Rogan
What... Isn't the number one job driving vehicles in the United States, which is one of the things they're really worried about wh- when it comes to automation, because it's one of the first jobs that's going to go?
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
I've seen those cars where they're operating... There's no one operating them and they're just driving?
- NANarrator
There you go.
- JRJoe Rogan
They're weird. Okay, number one occupation, retail salesperson is three million. Home and health personal care is three million as well. Three million... Both of them are 3,700,000. General and operations managers, three million five. Fast food counter workers, three four.... so 'em all?
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
What's interesting is-
- JRJoe Rogan
60 more rows?
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
... the retail and the home health aides, they're the same people doing both jobs 'cause they can't afford to live-
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
... with just one job. (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
So drivers isn't even in the top 10. That's interesting. I thought it was, like, number... one of the top ones. So cooks is 2,000,007, and that's number 10. Stockers, order fillers, two-eight. Um, and so influencers was, what, one million? That's what it was? One-

Kardashian origin story, porn ID laws, and porn addiction spirals
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
I mean, I wish Kris Jenner was my mother. I mean, the way she's made these kids so famous, like... Could you imagine telling your kid to fucking have a sex scene and then release it?
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs) Do you think that she did that?
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Yeah, she absolutely did that.
- JRJoe Rogan
For sure?
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
I think so.
- JRJoe Rogan
Really?
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
I'm pretty sure.
- JRJoe Rogan
Hmm. I reserve judgment.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
I think she d-... I think she did, and I think it was the smartest thing she could've done for all their careers.
- JRJoe Rogan
Definitely worked.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Absolutely.
- JRJoe Rogan
And, you know, everybody has sex.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
If you wanna watch, go watch.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Go watch it.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
But the fact... like, you would never think a mom would put that out there, but it was, like, pretty brilliant. My mom would never do something like that for me.
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, you know, that mo-... she's a little unconventional.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Sure.
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Yeah, it takes an unconventional woman (laughs) to, like, release your kids' sex tape.
- JRJoe Rogan
She kind of turned her husband into a woman and basically made the entire clan super rich.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
All... Even Rob is rich.
- JRJoe Rogan
Super rich.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
They're all rich.
- JRJoe Rogan
Crazy rich. Yeah, for no reason. Like, not-
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Because of that sex tape.
- JRJoe Rogan
Right. But, like, that is kind of the, the seed.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
It is.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. Because-
- 39:14 – 47:43
America’s incarceration machine: private prisons, slave labor, and China parallels
- JRJoe Rogan
Of course, yeah. Yeah. It's w- it's, it's weird how many people are in prison. I mean, we went over this the other day, how many people are in prison in the United States compared to, like, the rest of the fucking world. It's like, we have the highest percentage of people that are in prison, I think, of any country in the western world, for sure. I mean, you got c- China's hard to count because you have, essentially, slaves.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Well also, in China they all live in, like, tiny boxes anyway, which are prisons-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
... of their own doing.
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, like you, you wouldn't say necessarily that, um, the people that make your iPhone are slaves, but they're literally sleeping in dorms and they put nets around the building to keep them from jumping off.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Right. I'd rather be in prison. How do you-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
... get in prison? In China.
- JRJoe Rogan
At least in prison they probably, like, give you less hours than the Foxconn workers.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Sure.
- JRJoe Rogan
You probably get better food. How many people? End of 2023, the US had 1.8 million people in prison, which is more than any other country. China had the second highest number of prisoners, with about 100,000 fewer than the US. But the thing about China, again, like it's not just the amount of people in an actual prison, you have to think of the, about the actual, actual people that are slaves. US has the highest incarceration rate in the world, 724 people per 100,000. England and Wales has an incarceration rate of 145 per 140,000 and Russia has 581 people per 100,000. So Russia's nipping at our heels. Russian people are fucking crazy though. Uh, the US has longer sentences than many other countries which contributes to the high incarceration rates. I wonder how many other countries have private prisons too? That's the dark part, is that-
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Well that's how you make the money.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. Yeah. Profit. Profit off of people. Remember when I found out that prison guard unions were lobbying to keep marijuana laws 'cause they wanted people to be in jail? I was like, "What?" Like-
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Yeah, 'cause they wanna make money.
- JRJoe Rogan
They want money. They need, they need that job.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
They need those contracts. So, uh, many countries have private prisons including United States has the most private prisons in the world, 158 facilities in 30 states, Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia. Australia, high percentage of privatized prisons, New Zealand, United Kingdom, Scotland, Wales, South Africa, Japan, Brazil. When did they start with the private prison thing? Like who, what fucking monster... Okay, Google this, what was the first private prison? What fucking monster didn't see, didn't see the road ahead when you allow people to profit off of people being locked up? What monster didn't see you're gonna just have people lock more people up? 1984, these motherfuckers. It's George Orwell, literally is Orwell.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
I would've thought it was before that.
- JRJoe Rogan
No, it's a fairly recent thing. Prison used to be something that we used to have because we had to lock certain people up to protect them from society. And instead-
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
... it became, "Hey, I think I can make money. I think I can make money off people in jail." They're using people like batteries to generate money.
- NANarrator
This thing says Louisiana privatized its penitentiary. I don't know if there's a big-
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Hmm.
- NANarrator
... differentiation between that.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
1844.
- JRJoe Rogan
Privatized, which was run as a factory. Yeah, inmates were used to produce cheap clothing for enslaved people. Wow! That's crazy. You're producing clothes for slaves.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
I mean that is-
- JRJoe Rogan
(groans)
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
... basically just, um, Xi'an, that's what they're doing in China.
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.
- 47:43 – 55:22
Billionaires, Bill Gates, fake meat, and why Indian vegetarian food wins
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, yeah, completely disconnected from people. That's when you get into, like, Bill Gates' category, which, like, "Let's figure out a way to block out the sun," like ... (laughs) You get into, like-
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
(laughs) You're so rich where you're like, "I really wanna fuck shit up for everyone."
- JRJoe Rogan
Imagine, like, I was reading this thing about Bill Gates' idea to block out the sun and-
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
(sneezes)
- JRJoe Rogan
... oopsies ... Oopsies, Jaime.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Sorry.
- JRJoe Rogan
No worries. It happens all, all the fucking time.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
I'll- I'll clean it. I'm a woman, I'll clean it up.
- JRJoe Rogan
Hey, yeah.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
I know my place.
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs) Um, like, he wa- ... They were talking about Bill Gates has some plan to stop global warming and p- um, like, shoot particles into the air to block out the sun. And people are like, "Hey, do you know many fucking people are on Earth? You can't just come up with that idea and try it. Like, what about the rest of us? This is a whole planet."
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
You'll need vitamin D.
- JRJoe Rogan
But imagine being so ridiculous that you're- you're so wealthy that you think, "Oh, I can just block the sun." Like-
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
I kind of love it. I kind of love that this guy is so nuts.
- JRJoe Rogan
He is nuts.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
And that you're like, "I'm just gonna stop, like, water from happe- ... Like, you're just gonna ... Like, I love so many of the things that can do that much damage to the world."
- JRJoe Rogan
"I think people should just stop eating meat," and then he just, like, tries to get everybody to eat his stupid fucking fake meat.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
That's fine, but imagine, like, blocking out the sun.
- JRJoe Rogan
That's crazy.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. He's also buying farmland.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
To do what? Raise cattle?
- JRJoe Rogan
Who fucking knows? Probably grow his fake meat food.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Like GMO shit?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, well, fake meat is made out of plant protein, and so you have to grow plants or-
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
I've never had it.
- JRJoe Rogan
It's nasty.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
I bet it's disgusting.
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, it's... The thing about it is, like, if you wanna have healthy vegetarian food, go eat Indian food. It tastes delicious, it's good for you, and it's vegetarian. Like, it just doesn't have to pretend to be a cheeseburger.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Right. I mean-
- 55:22 – 59:16
Sugar, keto/carnivore benefits, weight loss, and addiction logic
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Well, I stopped eating sugar.
- JRJoe Rogan
Totally?
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
I only have, like, fruit. But, like, other than that, I don't have any, like, cookies, or cake, or any of that stuff.
- JRJoe Rogan
How do you feel?
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
I feel better. I mean, I lost a ton of weight. Uh-
- JRJoe Rogan
You did. You look great.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Thanks. I, uh, I also-
- JRJoe Rogan
How much did you lose?
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
From the last time I was here? Probably like 45, 50 pounds.
- JRJoe Rogan
Wow.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
But I also was working out too.
- JRJoe Rogan
How do your joints feel? They must feel so much lighter.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
They do. But, like, I have a friend who's, like, "Losing weight, it doesn't matter how much you weigh, it doesn't weigh on your joints." And I'm like, "You know that's, like, not true."
- JRJoe Rogan
That doesn't make any sense.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
I know, but you just kind of have to let people think that, 'cause what am I gonna do? Fight with you about it? Just... "Okay. Fine."
- JRJoe Rogan
She said it doesn't make a difference in your joints?
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
It doesn't make a m- difference how much you weigh, like, on your knees.
- JRJoe Rogan
Is it gonna be a guy or a girl?
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
A girl.
- JRJoe Rogan
Hmm.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
And I was like, "Okay." I'm just... Like, I was staying at her house too, and I was like, "I'm not gonna fight with you about this."
- JRJoe Rogan
I used to notice the difference when I was fighting, when I would lose weight, when I would, uh, compete. So, I used to weigh, like, 155 pounds, and then I had to compete at 140. Uh-
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
And just that-
- JRJoe Rogan
Uh-huh.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
... 15-pound weight, you felt-
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, yeah. I felt so light. I so- I felt so-
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
It's- you feel a total difference.
- JRJoe Rogan
... so light on my feet. Well, I work out with a vest. I put a weight vest on.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
So, it's a 25-pound weight vest, and I do, like, all these body weight exercises. When I get that- that 25 pounds doesn't seem like much. I get that thing off me, I'm like, "Oh."
- 59:16 – 1:21:17
Gambling addiction stories: her dad, Dana White, and the ‘Uncut Gems’ mindset
- JRJoe Rogan
So, someone told me this. Um, find out if this is true. Does Bruno Mars owe the MGM a ton of money from gambling?
- NANarrator
I've heard-
- JRJoe Rogan
Is that true?
- NANarrator
I've seen the story where someone just claims they were there.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. I've talked to someone who claims that it's... Someone who- who would know, who claims it's true. But isn't that crazy, if true, that even a guy like Bruno Mars, who's this super wealthy, super famous, super talented singer-
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
It doesn't mean you don't have issues though.
- JRJoe Rogan
Right. But the- the gambling one is a nutty one.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
It is. Well, my dad was a gambler.
- NANarrator
Public record at MGM, he has no debt to MGM.
- JRJoe Rogan
'Cause MGM probably made some sort of a deal.
- NANarrator
Right. That's true.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
'Cause his... Doesn't he have, like, some sort of a... He has no debt with MGM. Wink wink. So, they have a deal. So, what is, uh... What... They have some sort of a... He has a residency there, right?
- NANarrator
I think so.
- JRJoe Rogan
The word is.
- NANarrator
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
I don't know if he's got a gambling problem.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
My dad was a gambler. And, like, he made no money. That's the craziest thing, to be a gambler when you have no real money.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, it's a crazy one. It's a crazy addiction. It's an addiction that, um, I- I first saw when I started hanging out in pool halls when I was 23.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
I started... I became addicted to playing pool.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Okay.
- JRJoe Rogan
I- I was playing it all the time. I- I blew my knee out. Uh, I needed to get knee surgery. And, um, uh, when I blew my knee out, I couldn't work out, so I had to wait for surgery. And so, like, my ACL was all fucked up. And so I just started playing pool with one of my friends, and I became addicted to playing pool. And I would go there all the time 'cause as a comedian, I didn't have a job. I just would go on stage at night, and during the daytime-
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
... I'd hang out in pool halls, and at nighttime, I'd hang out in pool halls. And I just got around these people that I- I've n- I'd never known anybody like that before, just fully addicted to gambling all day long. They would go to the racetrack.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
Oh, my God.
- JRJoe Rogan
They would go to off-track betting.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
My dad used to take me to OTB as a kid.That's brutal, and that's when they used to let you smoke. (smoke exhaling)
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, God.
- AIAdrienne Iapalucci
You'd just come home smelling like smoke. It's disgusting.
