    (drumming music) Joe Rogan podcast.…

    1. JR

      (drumming music) Joe Rogan podcast. Check it out.

    2. AS

      The Joe Rogan Experience.

    3. JR

      Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day. (rock music) Oprah's doing an episode on psychedelics.

    4. AS

      God bless.

    5. JR

      How about that?

    6. AS

      God bless. I mean, she's definitely done it.

    7. JR

      Yeah, you don't do a fucking... Are we rolling yet?

    8. AS

      (laughs)

    9. JR

      Are we rolling? Yeah?

    10. AS

      Yeah.

    11. JR

      Yeah. Yeah, you don't do an episode on psychedelics unless you fucking visited the Maya.

    12. AS

      Unless you've dabbled.

    13. JR

      Unless you got in there.

    14. AS

      You think it's ayahuasca or mushrooms?

    15. JR

      Most of those fancy people like to do the ayahuasca-

    16. AS

      Yeah.

    17. JR

      ... you know? Because then you, you can claim spirituality above all other people. (laughs)

    18. AS

      Oh, you think-

    19. JR

      I've done it.

    20. AS

      ... there's like a pretentiousness?

    21. JR

      Oh, 100%. There's a, uh, "I've done it. I've done it. I ex- I've experienced the mother god."

    22. AS

      Yeah.

    23. JR

      "The god."

    24. AS

      Yeah.

    25. JR

      "I've experienced Gaia."

    26. AS

      (laughs) Yeah, yeah, yeah.

    27. JR

      It's like, I think, I think people do, really do experience that. But also, there's a certain type of personality that wants to let you know-

    28. AS

      That they've experienced it.

    29. JR

      ... that they're enlightened.

    30. AS

      Yeah.

  2. 15:0030:00

    Yeah. …

    1. AS

      are sexist, they're racist, and there are these bros that are- that are fucked up, and they're radioactive, and they're bad people, and he's got a real problem." So, they're trying to make him radioactive. And I remember seeing the reaction to Trump coming on the pods, and it was the exact same playbook. It was like, "The manosphere pods."

    2. JR

      Yeah.

    3. AS

      "They're sexist, they're racist. Look how fucked." And it's like, you're doing the same thing.

    4. JR

      Yeah.

    5. AS

      You're making it about identity politics. I think Americans are kind of simple in that, like, we want abundance but we want access. So, if eggs are expensive, I can't care about your bathrooms, right? Like, and you need to tap into that feeling right there. So, if I'm a Democrat, I'm just, this is a class issue. But I feel, unfortunately, a lot of them are in the pockets of these wealthy people and their corporations.

    6. JR

      Yeah, this is, it's all a- it's all a hustle. If we had... The entire time, if we had brilliant people working for the betterment of the United States, it'd be a far better place to live in. We've had a bunch of people that are capitalizing off of the fact they get in this position of extreme influence and wealth.

    7. AS

      Yeah.

    8. JR

      And they make insane amounts of money for people with $170,000 a year salary.

    9. AS

      Yeah.

    10. JR

      And they keep it rolling.

    11. AS

      So, how do you- how do you that? Like, how do you find... Okay, how do you- how do you find somebody who wants power but is also benevolent? 'Cause like-

    12. JR

      You gotta get rare human beings.

    13. AS

      That's the thing, most people who want power-

    14. JR

      Yeah.

    15. AS

      ... don't exactly wanna give back.

    16. JR

      Yeah.

    17. AS

      It's a bottomless pit.

    18. JR

      Bro, have you ever seen people get, like, a little bit of power and lose their fucking marbles?

    19. AS

      Like who?

    20. JR

      Well, I can't say. I can't tell a story-

    21. AS

      (laughs)

    22. JR

      ... 'cause it'd be, like, real obvious who I'm talking about. But it's not one of our friends.

    23. AS

      Got it.

    24. JR

      I just don't wanna say it publicly. It's not, you don't even know him.

    25. AS

      Okay.

    26. JR

      But I've seen people with just like, you get a job where you- you're the boss now.

    27. AS

      Yeah.

    28. JR

      And you just become a cunt and a half. Like, what happened?

    29. AS

      Do you think it- it exposes who they always were, or do you think it actually changes their- their character?

    30. JR

      It's probably both. It's probably both. They probably had weak character to begin with-

  3. 30:0045:00

      (laughs)

    3. JR

      But meanwhile, it's just a show that's being put on for our consciousness.

    4. AS

      Okay, so it's a show being put on for our consciousness, right? And then somebody's putting on the show. And then we get the ability to go to the moon, and then they gotta scramble and make a moon?

    5. JR

      ... no, there's a moon. I mean, it doesn't matter.

    6. AS

      Okay.

    7. JR

      Wherever you, wherever you go, there is a place-

    8. AS

      'Cause that is kinda funny is like, if like, our technology gets so good and they're just going, "Fuck, we gotta make this thing real?"

    9. JR

      This isn't-

    10. AS

      Like, they're on the way.

    11. JR

      ... d- I'm well aware for your, your, like criticizing me. This is a dopey way to describe it. But I, I, you know, if the tree falls in the forest and there's no one there-

    12. AS

      Yeah.

    13. JR

      ... does it make a sound?

    14. AS

      Yes.

    15. JR

      I don't even know if the tree falls if there's no one there.

    16. AS

      Oh, God. That's not... (laughs)

    17. JR

      (laughs) I'm not convinced.

    18. AS

      J- I'm not convinced.

    19. JR

      Josh, Josh, Josh, Josh, Josh, Josh, Josh. I'm not convinced.

    20. AS

      So the tree... Okay. Okay. So-

    21. JR

      I think if you take a trip to the Pacific Northwest, you will find trees.

    22. AS

      Yes. Yes.

    23. JR

      I just don't know if they're there all the time.

    24. AS

      Some of... So they're only there in reference to us looking at them? Oh, I get what you're saying.

    25. JR

      I think that's-

    26. AS

      Wait, wait, wait. So you're playing a video game.

    27. JR

      Uh-huh.

    28. AS

      And as you move throughout the map of the video game-

    29. JR

      It has to render new levels.

    30. AS

      ... it presents itself.

  4. 45:001:00:00

    Yeah. …

    1. JR

    2. AS

      Yeah.

    3. JR

      And there's no plane.

    4. AS

      (laughs)

    5. JR

      They never booked a return flight.

    6. AS

      (laughs)

    7. JR

      So, we try (laughs) ... So, we try to get a return flight 'cause they had her, got her a little-

    8. AS

      (coughs)

    9. JR

      ... shitty private jet to get there.

    10. AS

      Yeah.

    11. JR

      And so then we try to get a return flight. We cannot. I call my service. They can't. The, uh, quickest they can do it is in the morning.

    12. AS

      Yeah.

    13. JR

      Like, "What do you guys wanna do?" So, I, we decide that we're gonna get a limo, and so have a car service-

    14. AS

      And drive back.

    15. JR

      ... drive us back to LA.

    16. AS

      Love it.

    17. JR

      So, it was four-hour drive or whatever the fuck it is.

    18. AS

      Yeah, yeah.

    19. JR

      So, it's me, my wife, Whitney, and Lex.

    20. AS

      (laughs) I remember you just sending me videos-

    21. JR

      (laughs)

    22. AS

      ... of Lex passed out at different parts of the casino. (laughs)

    23. JR

      (laughs)

    24. AS

      (laughs) And he's just ... He misses it.

    25. JR

      That's at the airport.

    26. AS

      (laughs)

    27. JR

      That's, that's at the airport.

    28. AS

      This is, but he's like that for the last 12 hours. He was like that at the wedding.

    29. JR

      Oh, yeah. He was obliterated. I mean, he went hard. That boy goes hard.

    30. AS

      Yeah.

  5. 1:00:001:07:32

    Yeah. …

    1. AS

      I'm dumb.

    2. JR

      Yeah.

    3. AS

      I'm dumb, then. So, why doesn't somebody meet me where I'm stupid and start at least making me feel like I'm not an asshole for the way that I, you know, for my, I guess, you could say political leanings now? Yeah, I feel like they need to meet... And, and it's a very simple thing. Make it a class issue and I think they win. And say what you want about America, but, like, I think it's better if we have two president, or two people running for president that we're stoked about, and it's a really hard decision.

    4. JR

      Oh, yeah.

    5. AS

      Like-

    6. JR

      That would be wonderful. Yeah, but that's not what we had. Um, we had one group of people that legitimately wanted to change things-

    7. AS

      Yeah.

    8. JR

      ... and now we're gonna see what happens if they do. What, but you're seeing weird stuff today that you never seen before-

    9. AS

      Like what?

    10. JR

      ... which is, like, a real adjustment to the age of the internet. One of the things you're seeing is, I don't know if you saw the 22 different Congresspeople who were all saying the exact same line with the word shit in it.

    11. AS

      What was the line?

    12. JR

      So, it's like, it's this speech.

    13. AS

      Yeah.

    14. JR

      They're reading it verbatim.

    15. AS

      Yeah.

    16. JR

      They're all reading it and doing it to a microphone as if it's a rant.

    17. AS

      Mm.

    18. JR

      But they're all doing from the same script, and the shit ain't right-

    19. AS

      So, this is-

    20. JR

      ... is the be- the shit ain't right-

    21. AS

      Yeah.

    22. JR

      ... is the beginning of it. How m- when in the history of the United States-

    23. AS

      As a politician.

    24. JR

      ... has a co- politicians said shit?

    25. AS

      Said, said shit, yeah, yeah.

    26. JR

      And not just one.... but 22 of them in tape recor- y- can you pull it up just so we can see it? Because it's so nuts. When you see them all together-

    27. SP

      Yeah.

    28. JR

      ... it's just, uh, b- like they have it on screens as tiles, and they're all saying the same words.

    29. SP

      Yeah.

    30. JR

      They all have their own little flare they put on it.
