Cold open: Celebrity space tourism and “don’t minimize” jokes
- JRJoe Rogan
(drum roll) Joe Rogan podcast, check it out.
- NANarrator
The Joe Rogan Experience.
- JRJoe Rogan
(drums) Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day. (rock music) Hello?
- TDTim Dillon
Hey, Tim Dillon.
- JRJoe Rogan
How are you?
- TDTim Dillon
I'm much better now that the ladies are back from space. I was worried sick.
- JRJoe Rogan
Thank you for having me. What were they up there, 10 minutes?
- TDTim Dillon
Well, it was very profound. I don't know-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- TDTim Dillon
... if you've seen Katy Perry talk about it, but she's basically a guru now.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. What were her findings? That's my question.
- TDTim Dillon
Well, she brought a daisy-
- JRJoe Rogan
What did she learn? Right. (laughs)
- TDTim Dillon
... which is super important. Shows you how quick the flight was.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- TDTim Dillon
The dead daisy that's, like, snipped from its life source was still, still alive-
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- TDTim Dillon
... or still vibrant.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. And it's so, it's so-
- TDTim Dillon
Look at her.
- JRJoe Rogan
... this.
- TDTim Dillon
Yeah. << Shut it, Daisy. >>
- JRJoe Rogan
Wow.
- TDTim Dillon
Look at her nails, so pretty.
- JRJoe Rogan
Now, so they go up there, and they float for, like, 10 minutes?
- TDTim Dillon
Mm, at least.
- JRJoe Rogan
And then they come down.
- TDTim Dillon
Let's not minimize this.
- JRJoe Rogan
No, I, I know.
- TDTim Dillon
Let's, uh-
- 3:52 – 7:43
How risky is a suborbital launch? Kármán line, reentry, and failure modes
- TDTim Dillon
I think this is the confusion. I think the confusion is that (clears throat) they essentially got to the threshold of space. They did not get, like, way out there, where-
- JRJoe Rogan
But not outer space.
- TDTim Dillon
... reentry is very traumatic. And it, it has, like-
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.
- TDTim Dillon
... if you see, like, those heat shields that they put all over those things, and if they break off on the reentry, everybody dies.
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.
- TDTim Dillon
That's 'cause you're way out there, and the amount of heat that gets generated as you're reentering the atmosphere, I think they're essentially, like, on the border of the atmosphere. Let's see, how high did they go up there?
62 miles. They go above that line. It's called the Kármán line or something.
That's what I'm saying. So the space shuttle goes 300 miles-
- JRJoe Rogan
They went a little higher than that rocket, that Rocket Man documentary, that guy who shot himself up-
- TDTim Dillon
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
... in a rocket.
- TDTim Dillon
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
They went, like, a few feet higher than that guy.
- TDTim Dillon
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
RIP to that guy. I drove by his grave on the way to Vegas when LA burned down.
- TDTim Dillon
Are they even, like, technically actually in space?
I think that's where the, like, it floats... That's the line, is-
I might go there. I might do that.
- JRJoe Rogan
Do it.
- TDTim Dillon
I wouldn't go to space space, but I might do the 80, 80 miles.
- JRJoe Rogan
Do that.
- TDTim Dillon
So 350 miles is the highest anyone has ever gone other than the Apollo astronauts.
It's like 62, 100 kilometers.
62 miles. Okay, 62 miles ain't shit, dude. I, I drive that in an hour, you know what I'm saying?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, and it's-
- TDTim Dillon
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
By the way, I agree with you, like... (laughs)
- TDTim Dillon
It's not that far. That's not even here to San Antonio. 62 miles ain't shit, but it is kinda technically space.
- JRJoe Rogan
So they get up there and they look at the Earth?
- 7:43 – 9:45
From space talk to UFOs: Roswell blueprints, Bob Lazar, and deep-state compartmentalization
- TDTim Dillon
Right? So, the pressure would keep them shut. So, generally, like, there's like a seal. And it's really kinda crazy. Like, I have a friend of mine, a very wealthy businessman who brings me over to his house the other day. He goes, "I wanna show you something." And he shows me this diagram. He said this is from the 1950s and this is the blueprint for the recreation UFO that they made when they, when they tried to back engineer the one that they found at Roswell.
- JRJoe Rogan
And they had a... this was a diagram?
- TDTim Dillon
Yeah. Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Crazy.
- TDTim Dillon
And it had a crank handle like a submarine door, you know? So-
- JRJoe Rogan
And they were trying to replicate a craft that had landed?
- TDTim Dillon
Yes.
- JRJoe Rogan
Crashed.
- TDTim Dillon
Yeah. They... well, he thinks they did.
- JRJoe Rogan
Wow.
- TDTim Dillon
He doesn't think it's a try. He said this is the blueprint, because it had the actual... by the way, the exact generator in the center of it that Bob Lazar described-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- TDTim Dillon
... in 1989 when he worked at Area S4.
- JRJoe Rogan
What layer of the government do you think is working on projects like that? Like, is it all the DARPA people?
- TDTim Dillon
I think it's people that are completely disconnected from congressmen, senators, presidents.
- JRJoe Rogan
Right. Right.
- TDTim Dillon
It's all deep state 'cause it's all people that have-
- JRJoe Rogan
Right. They, they have to be like... they probably belong to an agency without a name.
- TDTim Dillon
Well, there's probably a bunch of those.
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.
- TDTim Dillon
And, and when it comes to this kind of stuff, like, we already know now because of Doge that there was money that was going with no receipts. Tr- billions and billions of dollars that was just flying out with no receipts. They have no idea where it went. And Elon openly said if this was... he goes, "If this was a public company, the sh- it would be delisted and-"
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- TDTim Dillon
"... the people who ran it would go to prison." But because it's the government, you're like, "Oh, I don't know what we did. We just, eh." They have no receipts.
- JRJoe Rogan
Do you think-
- TDTim Dillon
That could be going to it.
- JRJoe Rogan
Do you think they'll bring charges against anyone for fraud?
- TDTim Dillon
That's the worry about disclosure.
- JRJoe Rogan
'Cause that's what-
- TDTim Dillon
And I think that's what's holding it back.
- JRJoe Rogan
I think people needs concrete stuff.
- 9:45 – 12:51
Katy Perry clip reaction and the backlash to billionaire-adjacent virtue statements
- TDTim Dillon
You wanna see concrete? Let's hear Katy Perry talk about-
- JRJoe Rogan
Right. (laughs)
- TDTim Dillon
... going to space. Here, I'm gonna send you one.
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- TDTim Dillon
(laughs) I sent you a few this morning. I said, "Let's discuss."
- JRJoe Rogan
I saw her. I saw her. I chatted about it on my show. I saw her say something about, "We weren't taking space, we're making space."
- TDTim Dillon
That's the one I wanna send you.
- JRJoe Rogan
Which I thought was an-
- TDTim Dillon
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
... interesting scientific.
- TDTim Dillon
It's not this one?
No, no, no. I got another one. I got some better ones. I got this. This is it.
- JRJoe Rogan
What is funny is immediately after they landed.
- TDTim Dillon
Well, actually, that one's pretty good. Th- this is the one I sent you?
- JRJoe Rogan
It is funny. To do something like this and then everyone hates you. Like, everyone hates them now.
- TDTim Dillon
They shouldn't hate her. Oh, no. That's not it, Jamie. I'll send it to you.
Yeah, this one has all of them in it.
I have so many of them. (laughs) I don't think that one has the making space. Try this one.
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- TDTim Dillon
It's so fun when pe- why is it so fun when people get pretentious? 'Cause you're... I guess 'cause you're terrified that you would ever do it.
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, yeah. And I also think it's fun to see somebody who has no self-awareness.
- TDTim Dillon
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
They're always the most fun.
- NANarrator
I will never be the same. I mean, when you get up there and you see the Earth and it's so beautiful and it just fills the screen. And it's not just your window. It's like everybody's window and there's no boundaries, there's no border. There's just Earth. And it just fills the screen.
- TDTim Dillon
I like how it says, "Astronaut."
- NANarrator
And when you get up there and you see the Earth and it's so beautiful and it just fills the screen.
- TDTim Dillon
Is it what you expected?
- NANarrator
No. No. (laughs)
- NANarrator
Better?
- NANarrator
N- oh, yeah. (laughs)
- 12:51 – 15:06
Immigration enforcement stories and distrust in partisan narratives
- TDTim Dillon
Oh, you see they released the, um, footage, uh, dash cam footage or police footage of the guy who they're saying was just a father.
- JRJoe Rogan
The Maryland father?
- TDTim Dillon
Yeah, as he got pulled over with eight undocumented people-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- TDTim Dillon
... in his truck. They were all supposedly staying at his house.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. I didn't see that, but-
- TDTim Dillon
Yeah. Uh, uh, the wife had a restraining order against him, a pro- protection order in 2021.
- JRJoe Rogan
I saw that there was a restraining order. I saw that they... He was hanging out with two guys that were ad- m- in- in MS-13.
- TDTim Dillon
Yeah, they released the... Yeah, he's, he's definitely sketchy.
- JRJoe Rogan
They have made a few mistakes.
- TDTim Dillon
But it's not, he's not this Maryland father.
- JRJoe Rogan
No.
- TDTim Dillon
The guy that scares me is the hairdresser.
- JRJoe Rogan
The gay hairstylist?
- TDTim Dillon
Yeah. I want to know what's going on with that.
- JRJoe Rogan
Or there was a guy with a tattoo and his tat-
- TDTim Dillon
That's him. The tet-... Uh, the- the- the mom and dad.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, the hairdresser has a mom and dad. Oh, no.
- TDTim Dillon
He has the autism... Oh, no.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, no, there was a guy with an autism awareness tattoo and they thought it was, like, an MS-13 tattoo, but it l-... It, it doesn't look like an MS-13 tattoo. It's a literal...
- TDTim Dillon
The problem is everybody's a liar.
- JRJoe Rogan
You don't know.
- TDTim Dillon
So the liberals are liars and the Republicans are liars.
- JRJoe Rogan
Everyone's lying.
- TDTim Dillon
They're all lying. And if they did ship some hairstylist-
- JRJoe Rogan
Ironically, the only people I trust are MS-13-
- TDTim Dillon
And podcasters.
- JRJoe Rogan
... 'cause they'll, they'll tell you.
- TDTim Dillon
And podcasters.
- JRJoe Rogan
Podcasters and MS-13.
- 15:06 – 26:51
CNN, editing, and the “podcasters are the new establishment” debate
- JRJoe Rogan
I did a CNN interview for an hour because I'm promoting my special, and then-
- TDTim Dillon
Oh, my God. Did you really?
- JRJoe Rogan
... I... Yeah, and they asked me-
- TDTim Dillon
Who'd you talk to?
- JRJoe Rogan
This girl, Elle Reeves.
- TDTim Dillon
Was she cool?
- JRJoe Rogan
Elle, she was cool. She does all the... You know when you see the Vice documentaries where she talks to the Nazis and the incels?
- TDTim Dillon
Oh, Jesus, she does that?
- JRJoe Rogan
It was that chick.
- TDTim Dillon
Oh, whoa.
- JRJoe Rogan
And they sent her in. I-
- TDTim Dillon
Oh, that's a good move for them.
- JRJoe Rogan
I was like, "This is hilarious." So I'm sitting there and she sits down, she's like, "Are there any left-wing comedians?" And I name 10 of them that are all in arenas. And she goes, "Oh." 'Cause their whole thing now is that podcasters are the most powerful people in the world. And she goes, "Do you think your friends are the new establishment?" I said, "Well, there's 22 intelligence agencies and it's hard to legace media. There's lots of Ivy League schools. There's this, there's that. Do I think Theo Von's the new establishment? No."
- TDTim Dillon
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
"I don't think so. I think, (laughs) I think you ran a really unpopular candidate. I don't think Americans like child sex changes."
- TDTim Dillon
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
"And I don't think they want an open border. And I think if you'd, you know, co-opted some of those issues, you might've won." They said to me at CNN, they're like, "We're editing the interview." I said, "Put the hour out." I sat there for an hour and, and we had a nice conversation, but, you know, we talked for one hour. And I was like, "Put it out." I'm like, "I understand if you can't put it out." Uh, and then she goes like this, she goes, um, "I can't believe you'd show up. Um, people have said that they can't come on here because Joe Rogan would get mad at them." I said, "That's absolutely ridiculous."
- TDTim Dillon
Why would I care?
- JRJoe Rogan
I said, "He doesn't care. He would never care." I said-
- TDTim Dillon
Oh, that's so silly.
- JRJoe Rogan
"It's the silliest thing ever."
- TDTim Dillon
They think we're at war.
- JRJoe Rogan
I just said, "Put out the thing. Put out the hour online. If you can only put out a few minutes on, on network, fine. But it's wrong to have someone come in and talk for an hour-"
- TDTim Dillon
Right, and then-
- JRJoe Rogan
... and then not-
- TDTim Dillon
... use three minutes.
- JRJoe Rogan
... and then use five minutes."
- TDTim Dillon
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
It's fucked up.
- TDTim Dillon
So what, uh, how much did they use?
- 26:51 – 32:35
War, ideology, and the post-COVID trust collapse (lab leak, Fauci, accountability)
- JRJoe Rogan
People gotta separate, you know, and I think this is not... I think people got to separate, like, governments from people, intelligence agencies from people. I think that's the whole thing. I think people are losing the ability to do that in this case, right? 'Cause y- people that, when you criticize Israel or you criticize something that may or may not have been done by, uh, a government or is an intelligence agency, you're not criticizing people.
- TDTim Dillon
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
You're criticizing a group of people making decisions. I don't think America always does things that are in the best interest of the American people.
- TDTim Dillon
Right. Well, this is the problem with when everybody sort of picks sides during the COVID thing, w- whether or not we should trust the vaccine companies, because, like, y- you did it because you're on the left and the people on the right were the ones who didn't want to take it. So instead of just looking at it objectively, the people on the left were like, "Everybody who doesn't agree is a, a science denier," and it got, like, really kooky, 'cause it-
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.
- TDTim Dillon
... it got ideological. And as soon as it's ideological, you can fucking justify anything.
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.
- TDTim Dillon
This is how, how Jewish-Americans are justifying, "Well, Hamas uses people as human shields." Like, they'll say things like that.
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.
- TDTim Dillon
Like, it's a way you can justify mass murder.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- TDTim Dillon
It's a way you can justify anything. Anything. If, as long as the tribe on your side, what- whatever your clan is-
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.
- TDTim Dillon
... you can, you can justify things. And so people stop thinking. They stop thinking, and they just think completely along ideological lines, and it's-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- TDTim Dillon
... frustrating as fuck.
- JRJoe Rogan
It is. It is. And passionately.
- TDTim Dillon
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Very passionately.
- TDTim Dillon
Oh, they're right, you're wrong.
- JRJoe Rogan
No one is ever questioning anything.
- TDTim Dillon
No one ever questions science.
- JRJoe Rogan
No, no one ever, no, no one goes, "Wait a minute." Like, I think it's healthy to, every now and then, go, "Maybe I'm wrong."
- TDTim Dillon
Yeah, there was just something that got released today that showed, they just released today that showed that COVID-19-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yep.
- TDTim Dillon
... definitively came from that lab.
- JRJoe Rogan
1000%
- TDTim Dillon
100% proof it came from that lab.
- JRJoe Rogan
I read it, uh, a little bit of it on the way here.
- TDTim Dillon
Yeah, it's fucking nuts.
- 32:35 – 1:02:01
Parallel power: intelligence agencies, blackmail, Epstein, and ‘who really governs’
- TDTim Dillon
Well, what do you think is happening now then? Do you think that ...
- JRJoe Rogan
I think you have these guys, right? So you have these guys that, that go into the CIA. They, they, they, they learn all about these underground groups. They have all of these different relationships all over the world, right? Weapons man- you know, weapons, drug running, weapons, all of these different, you know, terrorist groups, crim- crime syndicates, right? Their job is to know information about every government, all of the, you know, separatist groups that could potentially take over and become the next government. They have all of these connections, and then they either leave the CIA, they retire, or supposedly it never occurs to any of them to make a buck. That's the real question, right?
- TDTim Dillon
Uh.
- JRJoe Rogan
It never occurs to any of these people that there might be a great way to make a buck working with some of these people outside of Congress, the White House, all of that. That's, as it's been explained to me by pretty smart people, that's what you have. You have a rogue element-
- TDTim Dillon
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
... of people in those agencies that have massive amounts of money.
- TDTim Dillon
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
And they're very well-connected, and they're running weapons, and the president has no idea what's going on.
- TDTim Dillon
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
And Congress has no idea what's going on. They're not briefing a teacher from Georgia who got elected because he promised he was gonna bring, build a fucking shopping mall in a suburb of Atlanta-
- TDTim Dillon
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
... about what they're doing in Syria.
- TDTim Dillon
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
They're not briefing these people.
- TDTim Dillon
Exactly.
- JRJoe Rogan
There's nothing Democratic about what's happening. And so then you think to yourself, you're like, "Well, how do we make sure everyone keeps their mouths shut? How do we make sure everyone keeps their mouth shut?"
- TDTim Dillon
Cha-ching.
- JRJoe Rogan
Then we go, not only money, but that's when we bring in Ghislaine Maxwell.
- TDTim Dillon
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
That's when we bring in Jeffrey Epstein, right? That's when we bring in people who go, "Let's all have fun. We've got a great weekend getaway planned, and then we can all be on camera doing something that would get us thrown in jail, have people rightly disgusted and want to kill us." And the worst things ever are now on camera somewhere, those tapes are somewhere. Now everybody is completely incapable of ever coming out and saying what's going on.
- TDTim Dillon
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
And, you know, and then those people are running a, a, a parallel government. It's a parallel command structure, and that's a huge problem.
- TDTim Dillon
And it was essentially completely in control for four years.
- JRJoe Rogan
Probably for more than four.
- TDTim Dillon
But for the last four-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- TDTim Dillon
... for sure.
- JRJoe Rogan
Thousand percent.
- TDTim Dillon
That's the best example we've ever had of that.
- JRJoe Rogan
Thousand percent.
- 1:02:01 – 1:05:54
From conspiracies to local chaos: Austin serial-killer speculation and true-crime detours
- TDTim Dillon
(laughs) Bro, they still don't wanna admit that there's a serial killer.
- JRJoe Rogan
You're the tourism board. Um, yeah, no. There, there's... Something's up.
- TDTim Dillon
There's a serial killer.
- JRJoe Rogan
Something's going on.
- TDTim Dillon
I believe there's a serial killer.
- JRJoe Rogan
And what are they doing? They're luring people to that bridge, and then-
- TDTim Dillon
Yeah, well, it's not hard. People like to go-
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.
- TDTim Dillon
... to the bridge. They just gotta look out for the bushes.
- JRJoe Rogan
So weird. I guess it's such a high to kill someone. It's, uh... To me, I'm like, "What do you get out of it?" But I guess the people that are doing it like it.
- TDTim Dillon
They're broken.
- JRJoe Rogan
Inters-
- TDTim Dillon
There's broken people.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- TDTim Dillon
And some broken people do meth, and some broken people drown guys who like to party.
- JRJoe Rogan
Do you ever talk to, like... I'm sure you have. This is a stupid question, but, like, the high-level law enforcement guys that have just met these monsters-
- TDTim Dillon
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
... and stuff?
- TDTim Dillon
Oh, yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
And i- is there, is there... Uh, do they believe that it's, like... I- is there any part of them that believes someone's just born-
- TDTim Dillon
Yes.
- JRJoe Rogan
I- interesting.
- TDTim Dillon
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- TDTim Dillon
And it's generally you have psychotic parents. And so, it's... Was it... Whether it's nature or nurture is hard to separate, because you're probably abused. And generally, at an early age, they show, like, a, a willingness to torture, like, house pets and stuff-
- JRJoe Rogan
Animals.
- TDTim Dillon
... like that. Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- TDTim Dillon
Yeah, they'll maybe start off with a frog they catch and stick a, like, a firecracker in its mouth, and-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- 1:05:54 – 1:10:45
Disappearing in national parks: predators, exposure, and why no trace is common
- JRJoe Rogan
Do you think that there are people that are... You know, national parks seem to be like a hotbed of people disappearing.
- TDTim Dillon
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
And do you think-
- TDTim Dillon
Like Appalachian Trail people, yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. Do you think that's people getting you, or is that a lot of it? Like, "I got lost. I got eaten."
- TDTim Dillon
You get lost.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- TDTim Dillon
You get eaten. There's a guy who has this whole series, uh, 41... Is it 911 Missing or 411 Missing People in National Parks? Listen, man, (clears throat) you're just meat out there, and you get eaten. And by the way, you don't find dead anything out there. You don't find dead mountain lions. Guess what? They die all the time. I've never seen a dead mountain lion when I was hunting.
- JRJoe Rogan
Because they, they get eaten.
- TDTim Dillon
They get eaten.
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.
- TDTim Dillon
Everything gets eat... You get... Not only do you get eaten, your bones get eaten. Everything gets eaten.
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.
- TDTim Dillon
It's...
- JRJoe Rogan
So, it's not uncommon to disappear and there's no trace.
- TDTim Dillon
No trace.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- TDTim Dillon
Yeah, super common. So, if you're in a, a high traffic area, like I've, um... Hunting, I've found elk bones where a hunter killed the elk and then, you know, took all the meat off the bones and then left the bones there. That's, that's what you do when you pack out meat.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- TDTim Dillon
And I found those, those animals.
- JRJoe Rogan
Wow.
- TDTim Dillon
I actually even found one animal that I shot a long time ago. I shot, like, four years ago. And we were-
- JRJoe Rogan
And you found it?
- TDTim Dillon
Yeah, we were in the same location, and it was the same bones. There wasn't all the bones there left.
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.
- TDTim Dillon
Some of them had been dragged away. Some of them have probably been eaten by rodents. You know, they, they eat the bones.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- TDTim Dillon
It's slowly but surely. And if you're a human, you're made out of nothing. You're so easy to eat.
- JRJoe Rogan
... right.
- TDTim Dillon
You know, like, our bones are less dense. Our s- our meat is, is soft and chewy.
