   2. JCJimmy Carr0:12

      Look at you, calm here, hydrated. I'm- I'm rehydrating having ... Well, I think I got it from this show, the sauna cold plunge thing.

   3. JRJoe Rogan0:21

      I bet you did.

   4. JCJimmy Carr0:22

      I'm so into it.

   5. JRJoe Rogan0:24

      That's awesome.

   6. JCJimmy Carr0:25

      So addicted to it. I got, like, the-

   7. JRJoe Rogan0:26

      Yeah. Changes your life.

   8. JCJimmy Carr0:27

      It really does.

   9. JRJoe Rogan0:28

      Oh, yeah.

   10. JCJimmy Carr0:28

       It's, like, it's that dopamine for, like ...

   11. JRJoe Rogan0:31

       You're changing my life by crushing this liquid IV in the most bizarre way possible.

   12. JCJimmy Carr0:35

       I don't know. It's like it's somehow-

   13. JRJoe Rogan0:36

       Smi-

   14. JCJimmy Carr0:36

       ... it's all shmushed up in there.

   15. JRJoe Rogan0:38

       Yeah, it's humidity.

   16. JCJimmy Carr0:39

       All right. Well, okay.

   17. JRJoe Rogan0:41

       It probably got a little humidity in there. It needs one of them little packets you get in the chips that you always accidentally bite.

   18. JCJimmy Carr0:46

       Oh, yeah, yeah.

   19. JRJoe Rogan0:47

       You know those little things they put in there to, like-

   20. JCJimmy Carr0:48

       What are those?

   21. JRJoe Rogan0:48

       ... absorb humidity?

   22. JCJimmy Carr0:50

       Yeah.

   23. JRJoe Rogan0:50

       I don't know. I get – I think that's what they're for, right? Yeah, I don't have any idea what it is. They absorb humidity. Is that what they do? Those little-

   24. JCJimmy Carr0:57

       Salt or something. All right.

   25. JRJoe Rogan0:58

       Maybe they provide it. Do they provide humidity? What do they do?

   26. JCJimmy Carr1:01

       So- so the ... I did the, uh ... I'm now staying in, not exclusively, but, like, I'm ... My hotel choice, I'm solving for places with sauna or cold plunge.

   27. JRJoe Rogan1:10

       Ah.

   28. JCJimmy Carr1:11

       So I can kinda do that in the morning and feel alive.

   29. JRJoe Rogan1:14

       There's a lot more of those now.

   30. JCJimmy Carr1:15

       Well, it's- it's great.
2. 15:00 – 30:00

   Well, it's a g-…

   1. JRJoe Rogan15:00

      mean people have always been hurt. There's no mean people that just have nothing but love, right? That's, unless there's some psych- something psychotic, something broken, like-

   2. JCJimmy Carr15:09

      Well, it's a g-

   3. JRJoe Rogan15:09

      ... like genetically broken, which can happen.

   4. JCJimmy Carr15:10

      It's w- I think you get that from having kids as well. Like, when you have kids, you start to see-

   5. JRJoe Rogan15:16

      You have empathy.

   6. JCJimmy Carr15:16

      ... everyone else's, "Oh, you used to be a baby."

   7. JRJoe Rogan15:18

      Right, absolutely.

   8. JCJimmy Carr15:19

      What happened?

   9. JRJoe Rogan15:19

      Absolutely. Yeah. Well, something, you got bad information in a bad neighborhood with bad people around you and lot of crime, and there you are. Yeah.

   10. JCJimmy Carr15:28

       Yeah.

   11. JRJoe Rogan15:29

       And it's, that's what's, uh, always disturbed me the most about people that don't have, people that have had good lives who don't have empathy for the plight of people that are in, like, uh, the total, like, economic, urban struggle.

   12. JCJimmy Carr15:44

       What, I mean, you, you're preaching to the choir here. I think that thing-

   13. JRJoe Rogan15:46

       Yeah.

   14. JCJimmy Carr15:46

       ... of, like, gratitude-

   15. JRJoe Rogan15:48

       Mm.

   16. JCJimmy Carr15:48

       ... as the mother of all virtues. And the idea-

   17. JRJoe Rogan15:51

       Yes.

   18. JCJimmy Carr15:51

       ... of going, "We don't see how lucky we are."

   19. JRJoe Rogan15:53

       Right.

   20. JCJimmy Carr15:53

       'Cause we might see it on a surface level-

   21. JRJoe Rogan15:55

       Right.

   22. JCJimmy Carr15:55

       ... like, of going, "Oh, you know, I'm lucky 'cause I was b- I'm, you know, I'm healthy, and, uh, uh, you know, I'm, I'm able to write jokes."

   23. JRJoe Rogan16:01

       Right.

   24. JCJimmy Carr16:01

       But then, you don't see the kind of, the layer below that of going, "Well, I was born with ..." I think, like, beauty is a really interesting thing, right? So when you see someone and they're born beautiful-

   25. JRJoe Rogan16:10

       Yeah.

   26. JCJimmy Carr16:11

       ... uh, Margot Robbie and, but you might go-

   27. JRJoe Rogan16:12

       Right.

   28. JCJimmy Carr16:12

       ... "Oh, yeah, she's Barbie. She's gorgeous. It's easy for her." But when you look at Oppenheimer, you don't see, well, that guy was born with an IQ of 160.

   29. JRJoe Rogan16:22

       Yeah.

   30. JCJimmy Carr16:22

       And a work ethic.
3. 30:00 – 45:00

   Isn't that why this…

   1. JRJoe Rogan30:00

      whatever they're going through. And you're like, "Wow, what would I do? Like, wow, that's cra... Oh, well, that's why he became this way. Oh, wow, that's amazing." And, you know, you, you learn a lot from other human beings when they're really open, if they really let you in, you know, which is one of the things I think, reasons why we detest...... people that are, uh, very manufactured and closed off, like, you know, the newscaster that you're never gonna ... You don't know a damn thing about those people, you know what I mean?

   2. JCJimmy Carr30:27

      Isn't that why this works?

   3. JRJoe Rogan30:28

      Yeah, for sure.

   4. JCJimmy Carr30:29

      Because you go this format, this ... It's lot ... There's nowhere to hide.

   5. JRJoe Rogan30:32

      Nowhere to hide.

   6. JCJimmy Carr30:32

      It's three hours of conversation. You're gonna talk about what you're gonna talk about. It's gonna come up.

   7. JRJoe Rogan30:36

      Yeah.

   8. JCJimmy Carr30:36

      And it's the, this thing of, uh, it's authentic.

   9. JRJoe Rogan30:40

      Mm-hmm.

   10. JCJimmy Carr30:41

       And authenticity is what people crave.

   11. JRJoe Rogan30:43

       Oh, yeah, for sure.

   12. JCJimmy Carr30:44

       And it's, it's playful. And I think... I mean, okay, this is my big theory on life. I think play is like we don't stop playing because we get old. We get old 'cause we stop playing.

   13. JRJoe Rogan30:57

       Yeah. I've seen that.

   14. JCJimmy Carr30:57

       And in our job, it's George Bernard Shaw, I think, said it first.

   15. JRJoe Rogan31:01

       Mm-hmm.

   16. JCJimmy Carr31:01

       Anyway. But, uh-

   17. JRJoe Rogan31:02

       But he's wrong. You get old no matter what. (laughs)

   18. JCJimmy Carr31:04

       (laughs)

   19. JRJoe Rogan31:04

       He's full of shit. You're gonna break a hip. (laughs)

   20. JCJimmy Carr31:07

       Yeah.

   21. JRJoe Rogan31:07

       If you follow that guy's advice, you're gonna fucking roll your ankle, for sure.

   22. JCJimmy Carr31:10

       Eventually. But yeah. But, you know, maybe playing Twister when you're 70.

   23. JRJoe Rogan31:12

       Yeah.

   24. JCJimmy Carr31:12

       Great. That's a good way to break a hip. But that thing of, like, going ... Play is sort of in short supply.

   25. JRJoe Rogan31:19

       Yes.

   26. JCJimmy Carr31:19

       'Cause if you think about what anyone cares about, right, like people talk about sports all the time.

   27. JRJoe Rogan31:24

       Mm-hmm.

   28. JCJimmy Carr31:24

       People talk about concerts and going to see music.

   29. JRJoe Rogan31:26

       Mm-hmm.

   30. JCJimmy Carr31:26

       People love seeing comedy.
4. 45:00 – 1:00:00

   Yes. …

   1. JCJimmy Carr45:00

      you- you go, "Well, let- let's have some healthy food and let's read some books and let's run round outside." And maybe they don't wanna do that now, but you gotta, you gotta be kind to- to their potential.

   2. JRJoe Rogan45:10

      Yes.

   3. JCJimmy Carr45:11

      Not just to th- And- and then you kind of obviously ... You know, that, it kinda teaches you that, and then you kind of have to apply it to yourself. 'Cause you go, "Well, they're not gonna pay attention to what I say. They're just gonna watch what I do."

   4. JRJoe Rogan45:22

      Sure. Um, but then, you know, individuals that are struggling, you know? The- the problem is, if you don't know them, you don't know, like, what- what are, what are they going through? Is this nonsense or is this, like, really serious? Like, have they had ... They had a really fucked up life or are they just really self-indulgent and lazy? Like, what are we dealing with here? Like, what are we dealing with? Are we dealing with, like, tremendous depression because of, like, physical and sexual abuse and beatings and violence in the house? Are we dealing with that or are we dealing with some kid who their parents doted on them too much and the, maybe the parents were super negative, which is very, uh ... That is very contagious. Like, if you have, like, very negative family members and then-

   5. JCJimmy Carr46:08

      Yeah.

   6. JRJoe Rogan46:08

      ... everybody in the family is always complaining. It's always something's wrong and someone did something to them, and it's always-

   7. JCJimmy Carr46:14

      Yeah.

   8. JRJoe Rogan46:14

      There's no joy.

   9. JCJimmy Carr46:15

      I don't think-

   10. JRJoe Rogan46:16

       No joy in Mudville.

   11. JCJimmy Carr46:16

       ... I don't think you realize, and maybe you do, I don't think you realize how much you help people. Um, like having these conversations on here.

   12. JRJoe Rogan46:23

       They help me.

   13. JCJimmy Carr46:24

       And the people that-

   14. JRJoe Rogan46:24

       I think they help all of us. We're all human beings. We're, we all go through weird shit just being a person, you know?

   15. JCJimmy Carr46:30

       Yeah. It's not easy. And, uh, but having these conversations and ... But I think there's something about, uh, you specifically. Like, the martial arts stuff, the ... It's a very alpha thing, and then you're a standup comedian and very admired by your peers, and you can have conversations about this stuff. And I think it really cuts through to a group that wouldn't hear that. I mean, for me, that, that thing that you're saying there is about, it's about agency and empathy. And-

   16. JRJoe Rogan46:58

       Yeah.

   17. JCJimmy Carr46:59

       I think there's a problem in our society that we give agency to people we don't like.

   18. JRJoe Rogan47:04

       Mm-hmm.

   19. JCJimmy Carr47:04

       And we give empathy to people that we do like.

   20. JRJoe Rogan47:08

       Hmm.

   21. JCJimmy Carr47:08

       You know? So if there's, like, a right-wing Nazi rally-

   22. JRJoe Rogan47:11

       Mm-hmm.

   23. JCJimmy Carr47:12

       ... we say, "They knew what they were doing." We give them agency.

   24. JRJoe Rogan47:15

       Right, right.

   25. JCJimmy Carr47:15

       We punish them-

   26. JRJoe Rogan47:16

       Or Elon Musk with the Hitler salute.

   27. JCJimmy Carr47:18

       Right. Okay. So we say-

   28. JRJoe Rogan47:19

       Perfect example.

   29. JCJimmy Carr47:19

       "He knew what he was doing." Uh, okay.

   30. JRJoe Rogan47:21

       Yeah.
5. 1:00:00 – 1:13:31

   Is that gonna, is…

   1. JRJoe Rogan1:00:00

      uh, technology in particular in this country if you wanna be a drone pilot.

   2. JCJimmy Carr1:00:04

      Is that gonna, is that gonna change now? Post-

   3. JRJoe Rogan1:00:06

      I don't know.

   4. JCJimmy Carr1:00:06

      ... Ukraine. I mean, that's the first drone war.

   5. JRJoe Rogan1:00:09

      I don't know. It's f-

   6. JCJimmy Carr1:00:10

      You know.

   7. JRJoe Rogan1:00:10

      It's, it's all scary, you know. The, the drone thing-

   8. JCJimmy Carr1:00:13

      Yeah.

   9. JRJoe Rogan1:00:13

      ... is weird because if you allow everyone to have drones, like you'd get that sometimes where like you see people dealing with drones f- over their house. Like is that legal? Can you just fly over my fucking house with a drone? Turns out it is. Turns out it is legal. And that-

   10. JCJimmy Carr1:00:26

       Well, how much of it as well, like I mean, talking to the right guy here, but how much of the alien stuff that we watched in the-

   11. JRJoe Rogan1:00:32

       Quite a bit.

   12. JCJimmy Carr1:00:33

       ... 1950s and '60s was that technology being tested in America?

   13. JRJoe Rogan1:00:36

       Look at this. So this is the drone mothership.

   14. JCJimmy Carr1:00:38

       This is the drone...

   15. JRJoe Rogan1:00:40

       Mothership that China's created.So there's this enormous ship that can send thousands of drones off of it.

   16. JCJimmy Carr1:00:48

       Do you think it would be sensible for you and I to pledge allegiance...

   17. JRJoe Rogan1:00:52

       To-

   18. JCJimmy Carr1:00:52

       ... to the Chinese Communist Party now?

   19. JRJoe Rogan1:00:54

       We sh-

   20. JCJimmy Carr1:00:54

       Sort of, sort of on the record?

   21. JRJoe Rogan1:00:55

       We should learn Mandarin.

   22. JCJimmy Carr1:00:56

       Just in case?

   23. JRJoe Rogan1:00:57

       I think it's a good time to learn Mandarin, I think.

   24. JCJimmy Carr1:00:59

       Wow, that-

   25. JRJoe Rogan1:01:00

       John Cena was right. Look at that, 25 meters wide. Wow. That's, that's wild. That's big. (laughs)

   26. JCJimmy Carr1:01:09

       Yeah. I mean, it, it feels like the-

   27. JRJoe Rogan1:01:12

       I mean, it's a quarter of a football field.

   28. JCJimmy Carr1:01:14

       I don't know. So, uh, war is changing, isn't it? I mean, it's-

   29. JRJoe Rogan1:01:17

       Yeah.

   30. JCJimmy Carr1:01:17

       It, but it used to be... I suppose it's always changing. It, it was, used to be guys in... You wear blue, we'll wear red. We'll line up, and then we'll just smash it out. And there was...
