      The Joe Rogan Experience.

   3. RBRalph Barbosa0:06

      Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day. (rock music) What's up, y'all?

   4. JRJoe Rogan0:13

      So, let's go. What are you doing? Are we playing with magnets?

   5. RBRalph Barbosa0:17

      Yeah, man. I'm checking out all your toys. What'd you say this guy's name is? Travis?

   6. JRJoe Rogan0:20

      That's Travis Walton.

   7. RBRalph Barbosa0:22

      Travis.

   8. JRJoe Rogan0:22

      And he's, he's a guy that got abducted, allegedly, by, uh, some sort of a UFO in the 1970s, and, uh, the story was so crazy that it became a movie. It's called Fire In The Sky. And I don't know, like I said, I don't know if he's telling the truth, but it's very compelling. He doesn't seem like a liar, and he's been telling the exact same story for 40-plus years.

   9. RBRalph Barbosa0:46

      I think he's telling the truth.

   10. JRJoe Rogan0:47

       You think so?

   11. RBRalph Barbosa0:48

       Yeah.

   12. JRJoe Rogan0:49

       Yeah?

   13. RBRalph Barbosa0:49

       Yeah. I don't know. I don't know anybody, uh, per- I mean, personally, I don't know anybody who's kept up a lie for that long.

   14. JRJoe Rogan0:55

       (clicks tongue) There's gotta be someone. Gotta be someone that's like... I, I think people can make a story up and then only keep that s- that lie. Usually, generally, when people lie about stuff, they'll lie about a bunch of stuff, especially something that crazy. "They took me aboard a UFO and they fixed me." So this is the story. The story was... These guys were all loggers in Arizona, and so they're driving down this logging road and they see some crazy light in the sky and it goes into this area. They pull off to the side of the road. They walk towards it and there's this disc that's, like, hovering, this glowing disc. He walks towards it and he got really close to it and he got hit with a beam of light, and he falls back. Like, that's- The art. ... supposedly what it looked like. That's the art of it. That's the art, the art depiction of it, what these guys saw. He gets hit with this beam of light and they take off. They're like, "Fuck!" And they did jump back in the truck and take off. He's lying on the ground, and they get, like, five minutes away and they're yelling at each other. "We gotta go back. We gotta go get him." They were scared. And so they're like, "Fuck it. Let's go back." So they go back to go get their friend and he's gone. So, five days later, there's, you know, there's a manhunt for him. Nobody can find him. Five days later, he shows up, walks into town. He's fully... It doesn't look like he's starving to death. He's not out of water. Doesn't look like he's been living in the woods. It just looks like he, uh, just, like, a normal day and he tells this crazy story. He tells this story that he got abducted. They took him aboard this craft and fixed his body 'cause the beam of light that came out of the ship from w- whatever, whatever it was, whatever energy source it was, fucked his body up. They repaired it and they communicated with him telepathically while they were on the ship. I forget all the details of it, but-

   15. RBRalph Barbosa2:46

       Yo, but-

   16. JRJoe Rogan2:47

       ... this is, this is the film of it. But this is supposedly what he said the experience was like. He said it was terrifying. And he described... The thing that, that's crazy is that they all describe the same exact creatures. They describe these little-

   17. RBRalph Barbosa3:04

       Who is they?

   18. JRJoe Rogan3:05

       People that get abducted.

   19. RBRalph Barbosa3:06

       Oh.

   20. JRJoe Rogan3:06

       People that have had UFO experiences, anybody that's had direct contact. Did you ever see that movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind?

   21. RBRalph Barbosa3:13

       Mm-mm. I saw that movie The Fourth Kind when I was in middle school.

   22. JRJoe Rogan3:17

       What's that one? Is that an abduction one-

   23. RBRalph Barbosa3:18

       Where they, I think-

   24. JRJoe Rogan3:19

       ... where they come get ya?

   25. RBRalph Barbosa3:20

       Yeah, it's like a... Man, I only watched it once. It scared the shit outta me. I think people go under, like, hypnosis and they re- they remember what their abduction was like or something like that.

   26. JRJoe Rogan3:30

       Hmm. Yeah.

   27. RBRalph Barbosa3:32

       Yeah. Don't quote me on that.

   28. JRJoe Rogan3:33

       Well, the third kind, I think, is contact. I think close encounters of the first kind is, like, you see it. I don't know what the second kind is. This is, like, a list of the kinds. "The Fourth Kind derived, explains J. Allen Hynek's classification of close encounters with aliens. The Fourth Kind denotes alien abductions." Dun-dun-dun.

   29. RBRalph Barbosa3:52

       Yeah, yeah, that one.

   30. JRJoe Rogan3:54

       I feel like-
2. 15:00 – 30:00

   Yeah, yeah. …

   1. JRJoe Rogan15:00

   2. RBRalph Barbosa15:00

      Yeah, yeah.

   3. JRJoe Rogan15:00

      The kids want Captagon.

   4. RBRalph Barbosa15:02

      It sounds like it was made by like the guy who made adamantium metal.

   5. JRJoe Rogan15:05

      Right, right, right. So it was an early ADHD, a failed ADHD drug. It was banned almost globally in the 1980s, but a few Middle Eastern nations are still producing it. What does it do?

   6. RBRalph Barbosa15:18

      Yeah.

   7. JRJoe Rogan15:18

      A stimulant gives some sort of euphoria and a sense of purpose. Let's bring that shit back, Pfizer.

   8. RBRalph Barbosa15:23

      Euphoria and sense of purpose?

   9. JRJoe Rogan15:23

      Stop trying to give me some fucking vaccines that I don't need. And how about hooking me up with a little euphoria-

   10. RBRalph Barbosa15:30

       And sense of purpose.

   11. JRJoe Rogan15:30

       ... and a little sense of purpose? Little yellow tablets seem to be fueling much of the mayhem in Syria, but illicit drug use is on the battle- uh, on the battlefield isn't new.

   12. NANarrator15:39

       Okay, and that's Pervitin.

   13. JRJoe Rogan15:41

       Yeah, so the methamphetamine Pervitin was distributed to soldiers in preparation for the war. And what's interesting about that is they had different doses for different people. Like the dudes in the tank at the very front, they got the most meth. (laughs)

   14. RBRalph Barbosa15:53

       Damn.

   15. JRJoe Rogan15:53

       Of course. You're gonna need it, you have the craziest job.

   16. RBRalph Barbosa15:56

       They're just, they're just like... Uh, 'cause they would have to stick their heads out the top of the tank, wouldn't they?

   17. JRJoe Rogan16:01

       Yeah.

   18. RBRalph Barbosa16:01

       And then like give the directions?

   19. JRJoe Rogan16:02

       So there is-

   20. RBRalph Barbosa16:03

       "Fucking go, fucking go right now. Fucking turn around."

   21. JRJoe Rogan16:05

       Yeah. They gotta...

   22. RBRalph Barbosa16:06

       (screaming)

   23. JRJoe Rogan16:07

       "Shoot him, shoot him again."

   24. NANarrator16:08

       Boom, boom, boom.

   25. RBRalph Barbosa16:09

       (laughs)

   26. JRJoe Rogan16:09

       I mean, you imagine what it sounds like when a fucking tank cannon goes off? She says the US military distributed an estimated 200 million amphetamine pills to its soldiers during World War II, and Japanese kamikaze pilots in the Pacific used it in their final fateful missions.

   27. RBRalph Barbosa16:24

       Whoa, whoa. US military.

   28. NANarrator16:26

       Mm-hmm.

   29. JRJoe Rogan16:26

       Yeah.

   30. RBRalph Barbosa16:27

       Our- our guys were on meth too?
3. 30:00 – 45:00

   This is what you…

   1. JRJoe Rogan30:00

      talks like this. 10% on Rotten Tomatoes. (laughs)

   2. RBRalph Barbosa30:04

      This is what you got cancer for, John Wayne? Come on, man.

   3. JRJoe Rogan30:06

      Bro... No, he got cancer for the worst... The Conqueror. And look how hot she is. She's, like, completely European-looking, his girlfriend. Like, play some of this 'cause it's so stupid. Yeah, fall off the horse. (instrumental music plays) Look how hot she is. Woo.

   4. RBRalph Barbosa30:20

      She's all impressed by him.

   5. JRJoe Rogan30:21

      And he just took her clothes off.

   6. RBRalph Barbosa30:24

      (sighs)

   7. NANarrator30:24

      (instrumental music plays) ... under his heel, the cowering nations.

   8. RBRalph Barbosa30:29

      Look how bad this is.

   9. NANarrator30:31

      In his arms, the unconquered woman. He took what he wanted when he wanted it. Bortei beats his fire with ice, matches his fury with flame. Your hatred will kindle into love.

   10. Before that day dawns, Mongol, the vultures will have feasted on your heart.

   11. RBRalph Barbosa30:51

       (laughs)

   12. JRJoe Rogan30:51

       (laughs)

   13. RBRalph Barbosa30:51

       Oh, shit. (laughs)

   14. JRJoe Rogan30:54

       Bro, I mean, come on.

   15. RBRalph Barbosa30:55

       (laughs)

   16. JRJoe Rogan30:55

       This is the dumbest movie ever and it gained John Wayne cancer.

   17. RBRalph Barbosa30:58

       Bro- (laughs)

   18. JRJoe Rogan30:59

       It's so bad. Like, how bad is that movie?

   19. RBRalph Barbosa31:02

       Women always talk about how, like, um... Oh, like I, like, I was reading this article where they were trying to trash F1 and-

   20. JRJoe Rogan31:09

       The movie?

   21. RBRalph Barbosa31:09

       Yeah. And they were like, "Oh, another movie where the, the only woman working..." 'Cause, like, uh, th- the girl in the movie, she is, she's like the first, uh... What is she? Like, the team director or something?

   22. JRJoe Rogan31:23

       Mm-hmm.

   23. RBRalph Barbosa31:23

       For an F1 team. Like, the first woman with her. It's like, and she doesn't, uh, you know, like, she doesn't level up until Brad Pitt unlocks her potential. Like, "Oh, like, we need a man for that." But it's like, bro, women have the best roles in movies.

   24. JRJoe Rogan31:37

       Not in that movie.

   25. RBRalph Barbosa31:39

       I mean, yeah, she got, she got hit pretty hard, but you, if you think about it, this is a movie about like, "Oh, Genghis Khan conquering so much, but the best thing he conquered was the woman." Like, really? You know what I mean? Like, they don't... Uh, the woman's always like the main prize of the movie.

   26. JRJoe Rogan31:54

       Dude, well, throughout history, that's one of the things that people did go to war for.

   27. RBRalph Barbosa31:58

       Women?

   28. JRJoe Rogan31:59

       Yeah, for sure.

   29. RBRalph Barbosa32:00

       It's nuts.

   30. JRJoe Rogan32:00

       Nobody went to war for some dude's butt. (laughs)
4. 45:00 – 1:00:00

   Nothing. I just- …

   1. JRJoe Rogan45:00

      What did you take before you came here? Like something-

   2. RBRalph Barbosa45:02

      Nothing. I just-

   3. JRJoe Rogan45:02

      Something happ- ... You're on sleeping pills or something? What the fuck is going on?

   4. RBRalph Barbosa45:06

      No, man. I'm sober. I just woke up and came here.

   5. JRJoe Rogan45:09

      Um, yeah. Hunter S. Thompson's a very famous writer from the counterculture movement.

   6. RBRalph Barbosa45:13

      He, he wrote this paragraph in that book, man. And, um ...

   7. JRJoe Rogan45:16

      That was Johnny Depp, he played him in that movie.

   8. RBRalph Barbosa45:19

      Look at... Yeah. Good old Johnny Depp, man.

   9. JRJoe Rogan45:21

      That's gr- ... A fun fucking movie. I don't know if you ever seen it.

   10. RBRalph Barbosa45:23

       I've seen most of it.

   11. JRJoe Rogan45:24

       Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas?

   12. RBRalph Barbosa45:25

       Yeah.

   13. JRJoe Rogan45:25

       It's fucking great. It's a great movie. And the book is really great too. He was a, a fascinating guy. Like, probably one of my ... Not probably. One of my favorite authors ever.

   14. RBRalph Barbosa45:34

       He, he ... That book that's out there, you said it's a first edition.

   15. JRJoe Rogan45:38

       Yeah.

   16. RBRalph Barbosa45:38

       It's like, uh, diaries of his, right? Like, he just kinda wrote-

   17. JRJoe Rogan45:41

       Mm-hmm.

   18. RBRalph Barbosa45:42

       ... his thoughts and like what he did throughout that day? Um, Charles Bukowski has a book like that.

   19. JRJoe Rogan45:47

       Mm-hmm.

   20. RBRalph Barbosa45:47

       Uh, what is it? What is it called? Like, the Captain is Out to Lunch ...

   21. JRJoe Rogan45:51

       Something like that, right?

   22. RBRalph Barbosa45:53

       Yeah.

   23. JRJoe Rogan45:53

       Yeah.

   24. RBRalph Barbosa45:53

       Yeah. Felipe Esparza put me onto that book.

   25. JRJoe Rogan45:55

       Oh, okay.

   26. RBRalph Barbosa45:55

       I, I read, and I did his podcast. Uh, he ha- he has a couple Charles Bukowski books in his little library and ...

   27. JRJoe Rogan46:02

       Oh. No, shit.

   28. RBRalph Barbosa46:02

       Yeah.

   29. JRJoe Rogan46:03

       Shout out to Felipe. I love that dude.

   30. RBRalph Barbosa46:04

       Yeah. That dude's so talented.
5. 1:00:00 – 1:12:02

   Holy shit. …

      Oh, it's nasty. It's so crazy. This is my-

   4. RBRalph Barbosa1:00:05

      That's it?

   5. JRJoe Rogan1:00:05

      Yeah. That's my car. This thing is bonkers. And it's got a roll cage in it. It's all like, the interior's gorgeous. (engine revving) But it's six-speed manual transmission, but it sounds like an exotic car. (engine revving)

   6. RBRalph Barbosa1:00:28

      Oh, yeah.

   7. JRJoe Rogan1:00:33

      America. Fuck yeah. (laughs)

   8. RBRalph Barbosa1:00:40

      (laughs) Hey, you got one cup holder?

   9. JRJoe Rogan1:00:42

      Yeah.

   10. RBRalph Barbosa1:00:42

       Me too.

   11. JRJoe Rogan1:00:43

       Yeah. Fuck everybody else.

   12. RBRalph Barbosa1:00:44

       Se- my, my interior doesn't look as nice as that one, but...

   13. JRJoe Rogan1:00:48

       (laughs) Two cup holders get in the way.

   14. RBRalph Barbosa1:00:48

       (laughs) That's the one thing Barracudas have in common (laughs) is the, the cup holder.

   15. JRJoe Rogan1:00:51

       Yeah. Well, that's k- all, the interior's totally different than the original.

   16. RBRalph Barbosa1:00:54

       I think you're sick, bro. You have that.

   17. JRJoe Rogan1:00:55

       Yeah.

   18. RBRalph Barbosa1:00:56

       You got a Nismo. You have good taste.

   19. JRJoe Rogan1:00:58

       ... yeah, I like stuff.

   20. RBRalph Barbosa1:00:58

       What's your gayest car?

   21. JRJoe Rogan1:01:00

       The gayest car?

   22. RBRalph Barbosa1:01:00

       Yeah. What's your, what's your car that you just love?

   23. JRJoe Rogan1:01:02

       I, I guess my Tesla.

   24. RBRalph Barbosa1:01:03

       Your Tesla. (laughs)

   25. JRJoe Rogan1:01:03

       (laughs)

   26. RBRalph Barbosa1:01:04

       Yeah, that one, that one takes the cake.

   27. JRJoe Rogan1:01:06

       I mean, if you want to ask the average person, but I love it. I drove that today. That thing's awesome.

   28. RBRalph Barbosa1:01:11

       Yeah? That's your daily driver? Your usual go-to?

   29. JRJoe Rogan1:01:13

       Yeah, I drive it all, I drive it all the time. It's, it's a Model S Plaid, and it's also, uh, it's customized. So this company called Unplugged Performance, they take a Model S and then they put carbon fiber fenders on it, wider track, w- wider tires, upgraded suspension, change the interior.

   30. RBRalph Barbosa1:01:30

       Nice. Hey, do you have tinted windows?
