   3. JRJoe Rogan0:06

      Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day. (rock music)

   4. BPBridget Phetasy0:12

      You're a whore.

   5. JRJoe Rogan0:13

      All right. This is the thing is no one's happy with just being, like, a little successful. You get a little successful and then they wanna get more.

   6. BPBridget Phetasy0:20

      Is that everyone, though?

   7. JRJoe Rogan0:21

      I don't know. Is that you, Bridget?

   8. BPBridget Phetasy0:22

      I'm- I'm- I'm a little successful.

   9. JRJoe Rogan0:25

      That's it. (laughs)

   10. BPBridget Phetasy0:26

       And I'm happy.

   11. JRJoe Rogan0:27

       Yeah. Uh, it's like... I don't know. You just gotta find why you're doing it. You- you don't wanna just be on a hamster wheel.

   12. BPBridget Phetasy0:34

       Well, I think it's easy to get lost in chasing more. You know?

   13. JRJoe Rogan0:38

       Mm-hmm.

   14. BPBridget Phetasy0:38

       Like, I'm- I'm an addict, so it's very... I try to stay away from analytics and all that stuff, because I can become hyper-focused and obsessed with them.

   15. JRJoe Rogan0:48

       Oh, right.

   16. BPBridget Phetasy0:49

       And one of the reasons that... After I did, um... Who was it? I was opening for Lando, and I- we would go out and just talk to the people after the show. And it was- it was a- a- they were like, "Oh my gosh, I love Walk & Talk," and, "I love Dumpster Fi-" And that was, like, such a good reminder that you get- like, chasing numbers, and it was like, "Oh, no. These are not just numbers, they're people."

   17. JRJoe Rogan1:12

       Yeah.

   18. BPBridget Phetasy1:12

       Unless you're like buying bots. But I think it can be easy to just be- get on that hamster wheel and start being like, "We need more, we need more downloads. We need more." And-

   19. JRJoe Rogan1:21

       Yeah.

   20. BPBridget Phetasy1:22

       ... more, more, more. And then you forget and I never wanna take the audience we have for granted.

   21. JRJoe Rogan1:28

       Yeah.

   22. BPBridget Phetasy1:29

       You know? Like they're- they're amazing. They're- they've been with- some of these people have been with me for forever.

   23. JRJoe Rogan1:34

       That's kind of the key to it all, right? Is always have... I mean, it sounds so corny because it's such a good new wellness way of looking at things. Have gratitude.

   24. BPBridget Phetasy1:43

       (laughs)

   25. JRJoe Rogan1:43

       Always have gratitude. But gratitude is, like, very important. It's really important to- to be thankful for what you have.

   26. BPBridget Phetasy1:49

       Yeah. And it w- it was- it was one of the key things in getting sober. I think when I've dealt with, like, anxiety, depression, other things in my life, gratitude is- it is a powerful mechanism for sh- like, shifting your- your perspective because you can get into that feeling of, like, not being enough, not having enough, not-

   27. JRJoe Rogan2:11

       Yeah.

   28. BPBridget Phetasy2:11

       ... it never being enough. And-

   29. JRJoe Rogan2:13

       Well, Bryan Callen was telling me about his buddy who's a billionaire. His buddy's worth like three billion dollars, and he feels like he's poor-

   30. BPBridget Phetasy2:20

       (laughs)
2. 15:00 – 30:00

   (laughs) That's right. …

   1. JRJoe Rogan15:00

      that has, like, overlaid our country over the last, whatever, eight years, 10 years, is all propaganda funded by our own government.

   2. BPBridget Phetasy15:09

      (laughs) That's right.

   3. JRJoe Rogan15:10

      Like peop-... This is why Trump won the election. People don't really believe in these things. The amount of people that think that transgender f- biological males should be competing against your daughter in sports is so fucking small-

   4. BPBridget Phetasy15:26

      Yeah.

   5. JRJoe Rogan15:26

      ... but yet our own government was propping it up. It's so... And why are they propping it up? Because it's a fucking beach ball at a concert. You keep it tossing-

   6. BPBridget Phetasy15:33

      (laughs)

   7. JRJoe Rogan15:33

      ... up in the air and everybody's distracted. As long as you can keep a few things going, here's the things you gotta keep going. Abortion, right? Overturning Roe v. Wade is so great for business-

   8. BPBridget Phetasy15:45

      Yeah.

   9. JRJoe Rogan15:45

      ... 'cause now it's like a battle, the battlegrounds and women's rights and their lives are at stake. Okay, that's one. Gay marriage, that's a huge one. They're... Now, they're gonna take away gay marriage. Oh my God, bounce that fucking beach ball. That's a gigantic one. War is a giant one. All these different things are just fucking beach balls, and they toss them around every now and again. In the, in the meanwhile, they're just siphoning billions-

   10. BPBridget Phetasy16:09

       (laughs)

   11. JRJoe Rogan16:09

       ... of dollars. Zelenskyy just said he's missing $100 billion in the 177 billion that we supposedly sent there.

   12. BPBridget Phetasy16:16

       That was something weird too about Haiti, where it's like only 2% of the money actually went there. It's, it's crazy.

   13. JRJoe Rogan16:23

       (laughs)

   14. BPBridget Phetasy16:23

       You know, Americans give away a lot of their hard-earned money because they, they are actually kind-hearted and wanna donate to countries that are... And then you find out it's, like, some trans performance. There is a lot of nonsense.

   15. JRJoe Rogan16:36

       A lot of nonsense-

   16. BPBridget Phetasy16:37

       A lot.

   17. JRJoe Rogan16:37

       ... and, and in tunes of hundreds of millions of dollars of nonsense-

   18. BPBridget Phetasy16:40

       And then they talk about-

   19. JRJoe Rogan16:42

       ... all over the place.

   20. BPBridget Phetasy16:42

       ... it like, "Oh, who cares? It's only $10 billion." You're like, "You guys are out of your fucking minds if you think that's gonna be the argument that resonates with Americans." And who cares-

   21. JRJoe Rogan16:52

       Not only that, how are you gonna say that?

   22. BPBridget Phetasy16:54

       ... if they're pointing out $10 billion, because they'll be like, "Oh, look at the trillions over here." But all of those billions (laughs) add up, like, how are you even saying that? And it's... The other... It's... I'm grateful that you had me on MAGA state media. (laughs)

   23. JRJoe Rogan17:13

       (laughs)

   24. BPBridget Phetasy17:14

       Thank you for allowing me-

   25. JRJoe Rogan17:15

       You had to get that out. (laughs)

   26. BPBridget Phetasy17:17

       Because I see it all the time, all, all the time. Like it... And it's, it's hilarious to me in light of how much money goes to funding, like, sponsored by Pfizer, you know-

   27. JRJoe Rogan17:30

       Yeah.

   28. BPBridget Phetasy17:30

       ... and all of these other... How... The, like... The fucking audacity to accuse you, who just has people you like on your podcast, to suddenly be state media when you literally have had state media work... Like, media working with the state in conjunction for a decade.

   29. JRJoe Rogan17:51

       Yeah, at least, and probably a lot more, longer than that.

   30. BPBridget Phetasy17:54

       Mul- multiple decades.
3. 30:00 – 45:00

   Did she get it…

   1. JRJoe Rogan30:00

      doing it right. Can I, can I have access to your account and I'll just set it up for you? Just sign this." And he sent her this message so she could hand over access so he could set it up, and then immediately went dark, stole her account, gone. Yeah. Like that. Just-

   2. BPBridget Phetasy30:15

      Did she get it back?

   3. JRJoe Rogan30:16

      Yeah, she got it back.

   4. BPBridget Phetasy30:16

      Oh.

   5. JRJoe Rogan30:17

      She got it back. Some friends with Zuck. (laughs)

   6. BPBridget Phetasy30:19

      Yeah. (laughs)

   7. JRJoe Rogan30:20

      Like, she was, she was fucked.

   8. BPBridget Phetasy30:22

      Your IT support.

   9. JRJoe Rogan30:22

      She was fucked. And it happens to a lot of people.

   10. BPBridget Phetasy30:25

       Yeah.

   11. JRJoe Rogan30:25

       They, they accidentally click a link.

   12. BPBridget Phetasy30:27

       Yeah.

   13. JRJoe Rogan30:27

       They accidental-... I don't click. Shit.

   14. BPBridget Phetasy30:29

       No, no, no.

   15. JRJoe Rogan30:30

       But I'm also not under the illusion that, you know, every fucking disgusting meme that I send my friends is not being, like, put into a file somewhere.

   16. BPBridget Phetasy30:38

       In the UK.

   17. JRJoe Rogan30:39

       ... everywhere.

   18. BPBridget Phetasy30:40

       (laughs) You land and they're like, "You're under arrest, sir."

   19. JRJoe Rogan30:42

       Yeah, probably, right?

   20. BPBridget Phetasy30:43

       (laughs)

   21. JRJoe Rogan30:43

       Yeah, probably.

   22. BPBridget Phetasy30:44

       D- what do you think about the AI influencers now? Do you think that will be just a trend or do you think we're ... (laughs) you're giving me that look.

   23. JRJoe Rogan30:51

       Yeah. Um-

   24. BPBridget Phetasy30:52

       I'm not talking about the one. I mean, just-

   25. JRJoe Rogan30:54

       That one? That one? (laughs)

   26. BPBridget Phetasy30:58

       (laughs) Jamie fucking knows who we're talking about.

   27. JRJoe Rogan30:59

       The really, the really hot Down syndrome girl? That's a problem. That one's a problem, 'cause like she's like barely Down syndrome. I mean, I, I have, I've dated some girls who are basically retarded.

   28. BPBridget Phetasy31:08

       (laughs)

   29. JRJoe Rogan31:09

       But they just didn't have a problem. They didn't have a chromosome issue.

   30. BPBridget Phetasy31:11

       So wait, I haven't ... This has not entered my algorithm, but it seems like it's entered everyone else's algorithm.
4. 45:00 – 1:00:00

   Well, do y- ...…

   1. JRJoe Rogan45:00

      instincts of success? Does it also have the instincts of acquiring resources and power? 'Cause that- that's where it gets real weird.

   2. BPBridget Phetasy45:08

      Well, do y- ... H- as someone with kids, how do you feel ... Like, w- how do you feel about the future?

   3. JRJoe Rogan45:15

      This is probably the same argument people had when the printing press was made. "They're gonna ... Everyone's gonna be able to read? This is crazy."

   4. BPBridget Phetasy45:20

      No, I mean, do you ... I- I always kind of joke, like, I don't know if I should be, you know, training my kid to, like, be an astrophysicist so she can go to Mars or if I should be teaching her how to, like, s- forage for food because the grid's gone down. You know, it-

   5. JRJoe Rogan45:36

      Yeah.

   6. BPBridget Phetasy45:37

      ... oh, and she's running from drones, and, and Chinese drones in the woods. Like, what ... It feels very ... I think life just went along for a long time, and you kind of knew, but this is, like, a technological. With AI, we actually don't know. You could kind of be like, "All right. I kinda have an idea of what, like, l- the world will look like (laughs) in 20 years-"

   7. JRJoe Rogan46:01

      Yeah.

   8. BPBridget Phetasy46:01

      " ... 20 years ago."

   9. JRJoe Rogan46:02

      Right.

   10. BPBridget Phetasy46:03

       M-

   11. JRJoe Rogan46:04

       No, you don't know. But isn't it always better? If you just go back over human history, i- if you look at the graph of how things get better-

   12. BPBridget Phetasy46:12

       It's not always better.

   13. JRJoe Rogan46:12

       ... but it definitely is. If you go back to, like, the year zero, or what it was like, like, right when Jesus was hanging around-

   14. BPBridget Phetasy46:19

       I-

   15. JRJoe Rogan46:20

       ... like, it s- it was hell.

   16. BPBridget Phetasy46:21

       I remember vividly being in Egypt on a, a tour and looking at these hieroglyphics, and it was basically a hieroglyphic of all of the scalpels and everything. You ... It almost was a picture image of what we use today. And I said, "What happened to this society? What happened to this knowledge?" And she said, "It literally got buried under the sand," and then dark ages. I mean-

   17. JRJoe Rogan46:47

       Right. But you know that's most likely because of a cataclysmic event. That's a- that's most likely because of a natural event called the Younger Dryas impact theory.

   18. BPBridget Phetasy46:56

       So, could it be that this is a- also a forthcoming cataclysmic event that sends us into the dark ages?

   19. JRJoe Rogan47:02

       It could be. No, it definitely could be. So, the, the reality of humans is that the m- most likely what has happened is not been this, like, lineral ... linear progression from caveman to human, to modern human. The most likely, we got real sophisticated somewhere around 20,000 years ago, and that's when they built the pyramids after that, and there, there's a lot of s- Gobekli Tepe, all these structures.

   20. BPBridget Phetasy47:26

       Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

   21. JRJoe Rogan47:27

       Something super sophisticated to the point where we don't even understand how they built it today. That's pretty wild when you're dealing with something that even the conventional dating of the Great Pyramid is 5,000 or 4,500 years ago.

   22. BPBridget Phetasy47:38

       Yeah.

   23. JRJoe Rogan47:38

       Just even that dating is so nuts-

   24. BPBridget Phetasy47:41

       Yeah.

   25. JRJoe Rogan47:41

       ... that they were able to do that back then.

   26. BPBridget Phetasy47:43

       I know. It's crazy.

   27. JRJoe Rogan47:44

       And then there's people like John Anthony West, the late great Egyptologist, who he thinks that it goes back a lot further than that. And he thinks that that society probably had its ups and downs, and that it might be as old as 30,000 years ago.

   28. BPBridget Phetasy47:58

       Oh, wow.

   29. JRJoe Rogan47:59

       So, this Younger Dryas impact theory, and if anybody's interested in it, and I've talked about it too much.

   30. BPBridget Phetasy48:03

       Yeah.
5. 1:00:00 – 1:11:45

   Yep. …

   1. BPBridget Phetasy1:00:00

      and Altadena too.

   2. JRJoe Rogan1:00:01

      Yep.

   3. BPBridget Phetasy1:00:01

      And there- and you have, like, entire communities, but everyone's, like, still going to fucking lunch.

   4. JRJoe Rogan1:00:07

      'Cause they have to.

   5. BPBridget Phetasy1:00:08

      And Erewhon... No, I understand, but it's- it- it's, like, a weird... Uh, I don't know. That just is... I- I- all I've said the whole time this has happened is- because that was one of my big fears, is exactly what happened. When there would be fires there, I'd be like, "This..." People don't recognize that LA is an island. Everything comes in, everything... The- like, nothing is here. And if these fires surround the city and cut it off, w- it's gonna be... It could have been much worse than it actually was. W- and it was really fucking bad. And I'm like, "I would be so furious if I was still there." I would be furious with (laughs) myself if I was still living in Los Angeles.

   6. JRJoe Rogan1:00:43

      Well, I think people are very furious right now. I think if it is gonna be changed, it's gonna ha- it's gonna have to happen while people still have the memory of this thing. Because the more time goes on, the more the cultists can convince other cult members that they're on the right track, and these are the kind, compassionate people, and this is the way to do it, and this is the only way, and blue no matter who, and vote blue, bloat blue, and everybody, like, protect the trans kids. And next thing you know, the same shit happens.

   7. BPBridget Phetasy1:01:09

      Do you think though people didn't know? Were they just insulated?

   8. JRJoe Rogan1:01:13

      Yeah, they're super insulated.

   9. BPBridget Phetasy1:01:13

      I mean, a lot of people have left because they saw the writing on the wall.

   10. JRJoe Rogan1:01:17

       Yeah.But just think about how many people are in Hollywood, in, um, Los Angeles. How many people?

   11. BPBridget Phetasy1:01:23

       What is it, like, nine million in LA county or something? Or 12? Maybe 12.

   12. JRJoe Rogan1:01:28

       Whatever the number is, the, uh, there's a giant percentage of those people that live there that are connected to the entertainment business. And if you're connected to the entertainment business, at the very top of the business it's people auditioning for things.

   13. BPBridget Phetasy1:01:41

       Mm-hmm.

   14. JRJoe Rogan1:01:41

       And you have to get liked to get the thing. So, you get these i-immensely insecure people that are usually narcissists, and then they mold their personality to adapt to this environment that will reward them for a certain political ideology.

   15. BPBridget Phetasy1:01:54

       Mm-hmm.

   16. JRJoe Rogan1:01:55

       And so, that's the top of the fucking pyramid. And everything emanates down from that. If you wanna be cool with Ryan Reynolds, you have to talk like a Repub- a, a, like a democrat at the parties. You have to, like... You know what I'm saying?

   17. BPBridget Phetasy1:02:07

       Yeah.

   18. JRJoe Rogan1:02:07

       You have to, you have to say all the things that everybody else is saying. You have to agree, "We need more gun control." You know, da, da, da, da, da. "We should defund the police. This is bullshit."

   19. BPBridget Phetasy1:02:16

       (laughs)

   20. JRJoe Rogan1:02:16

       You know, you have to say these things. And if you don't say these things, you don't get to be a part of the group.

   21. BPBridget Phetasy1:02:20

       Yeah.

   22. JRJoe Rogan1:02:20

       And so, there's this, like, intense pressure to conform to this singular ideology that's been running things. It's not a battle back and forth between two, uh, uh, like, 50/50 opposing viewpoints. It's like, 90/10.

   23. BPBridget Phetasy1:02:33

       Right. Even... Do you think even though, like, the crew... Because when I would be on, uh-

   24. JRJoe Rogan1:02:37

       That's the 10.

   25. BPBridget Phetasy1:02:38

       Yeah.

   26. JRJoe Rogan1:02:39

       Yeah, that's the 10. The c-, the crew is the people.

   27. BPBridget Phetasy1:02:41

       They have-

   28. JRJoe Rogan1:02:41

       They're hardworking, normal-

   29. BPBridget Phetasy1:02:43

       Yeah.

   30. JRJoe Rogan1:02:43

       ... blue-collar people.
