Studio banter: novelty mug gifts and “storage for drugs” jokes
- NANarrator
(drum roll) Joe Rogan podcast, check it out. The Joe Rogan Experience.
- JRJoe Rogan
Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night. All day. (rock music) We're good now?
- TDTim Dillon
Yeah. Um, but yeah, he... This is Turkey Murky sent us these and some zombie ones and-
- JRJoe Rogan
Sick.
- TDTim Dillon
... tech-... Not the best to drink out of, though.
- JRJoe Rogan
You can't drink out of it.
- TDTim Dillon
'Cause it's, like, curved at the top, so you spill all over yourself.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- TDTim Dillon
But who cares?
- JRJoe Rogan
You gotta put something in it and then just have it.
- TDTim Dillon
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
You know?
- TDTim Dillon
Like pens or something?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. Drugs.
- TDTim Dillon
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- TDTim Dillon
Yeah. It would be good for drugs. Look at-
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh.
- TDTim Dillon
... look at that face.
- JRJoe Rogan
It'd be great.
- TDTim Dillon
If you had some drugs laying around-
- JRJoe Rogan
That would be the-
- TDTim Dillon
... that's where you'd put them.
- JRJoe Rogan
... that's the spot.
- TDTim Dillon
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan

Trump drone-strike clip, Venezuela, and cartel politics spillover
- TDTim Dillon
So, we were talking about the video, uh, that Trump posted, this video, of, uh, them drone bombing some narco guys in the middle of the ocean.
- JRJoe Rogan
In Venez-... Venezuelan drug traffickers?
- TDTim Dillon
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Right?
- TDTim Dillon
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
I think that's what it was.
- TDTim Dillon
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Venezuelan-
- TDTim Dillon
Trendy-agua.
- JRJoe Rogan
... trendy-agua.
- TDTim Dillon
However you say it.
- JRJoe Rogan
They're... It's a real thing.
- TDTim Dillon
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
They're a real thing.
- TDTim Dillon
Oh, yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- TDTim Dillon
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
You know?
- TDTim Dillon
He's accusing the president of Venezuela of being i- involved, right?
- JRJoe Rogan
That could lead to an interesting place, you know? I mean-
- TDTim Dillon
What-
- JRJoe Rogan
... it could lead to a... I imagine we're doing that because we're trying to suggest that it would be better if he wasn't the president?
- TDTim Dillon
Probably something-
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- TDTim Dillon
... along those lines. Wait, are... I mean, isn't there, like, a bounty on him?
- JRJoe Rogan
Uh, I believe there is.
- TDTim Dillon
Yeah (laughs) .
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- TDTim Dillon
I think it's, like, open and public. There's like-
- JRJoe Rogan
I-
- 2:55 – 3:57
Fentanyl escalation: adulterated drugs, China supply chains, and “warfare” framing
- TDTim Dillon
Well, probably a lot of fentanyl-
- JRJoe Rogan
Lotta wasted drugs.
- TDTim Dillon
... in that. Probably bad drugs.
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, this is a b- big problem is that the drugs now are worse than they've ever been.
- TDTim Dillon
Oh, yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
I mean, all drugs are bad, but the drugs now seem to be unbelievably bad.
- TDTim Dillon
Well, it's the fentanyl.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- TDTim Dillon
Um, uh, Ed was explaining that too.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- TDTim Dillon
He's like, "The soil that they grow the poppies on to make heroin is so bad, it's so taxed out, that the heroin was very weak, and they couldn't sell it. So, they had to add fentanyl to the heroin to make it stronger."
- JRJoe Rogan
And they spice it up. They cut it with fentanyl.
- TDTim Dillon
Exactly. That's how it started.
- JRJoe Rogan
And fentanyl is what is killing everybody that's doing cocaine-
- TDTim Dillon
Uh-huh.
- JRJoe Rogan
... and it's laced with fentanyl, and then they drop.
- TDTim Dillon
Mm-hmm. Yeah, and-
- JRJoe Rogan
It's terrible.
- TDTim Dillon
And it all comes from China.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- TDTim Dillon
All the fentanyl.
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, yeah. I mean, there's-
- TDTim Dillon
All the precursors, everything.
- JRJoe Rogan
It is kind of a way... If you are a foreign country, it is a way to... It is some type of warfare.
- TDTim Dillon
Oh, yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
You know?
- TDTim Dillon
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
For sure.
- TDTim Dillon
Yeah. There's, there's a bunch of different things that they're doing, for sure, to try to destabilize the United States.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- 3:57 – 5:34
Bots, AI persuasion, and ‘don’t argue online’: Grok vs ChatGPT as culture signals
- TDTim Dillon
And, uh, that... Which includes social media, which is why I tell people-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- TDTim Dillon
... do not argue with people on social media because I bet most of those people aren't even real.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- TDTim Dillon
Mo-... There's a giant amount of people that are on social media that are there just to keep arguments going.
- JRJoe Rogan
Absolutely.
- TDTim Dillon
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Lots of bots.
- TDTim Dillon
Lots of bots.
- JRJoe Rogan
Sure.
- TDTim Dillon
And this was something that came up yesterday, where y-... Um, they were using ChatGPT. So, they have sort of a program that runs ChatGPT so it ac- acts like real humans. And it was attacking people about USAID and, and, and-
- JRJoe Rogan
Really?
- TDTim Dillon
... trans issues-
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.
- TDTim Dillon
... all sorts of different stuff.
- JRJoe Rogan
Is that Grok?
- TDTim Dillon
No. Grok is the AI from X. So, that's the Twitter AI.
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.
- TDTim Dillon
So, ChatGPT is OpenAI.
- JRJoe Rogan
Chat's the big... That's the based AI. Grok.
- TDTim Dillon
Sort of.
- JRJoe Rogan
Grok is kinda the one who's based.
- TDTim Dillon
It got, it got removed for a little bit-
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, that's how you know it's-
- TDTim Dillon
... because he said that Israel was con- co- committing genocide.
- JRJoe Rogan
The... What I like about Grok is that occasionally it's removed.
- TDTim Dillon
Yeah (laughs) .
- JRJoe Rogan
That's how I know Grok's onto something, because it's occasionally put in timeout-
- TDTim Dillon
Yeah (laughs) .
- JRJoe Rogan
... and then it comes back. Any AI that's not removed, I don't trust. I need an AI that's getting removed pretty frequently when it runs up against an issue.
- 5:34 – 7:09
Europe’s political tension: Germany’s AFD candidate deaths and UK speech policing
- TDTim Dillon
Do you see the, uh, the German right-wing party, uh, seven members have died leading up to the election over the last couple days?
- JRJoe Rogan
And this is the AD-
- TDTim Dillon
AFD.
- JRJoe Rogan
... AFD or something?
- TDTim Dillon
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
I, I, I saw that. That seems a bit spooky that that's going on.
- TDTim Dillon
A little suspicious.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- TDTim Dillon
A little suspicious. Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
That's very interesting.
- TDTim Dillon
Yeah, it is.
- JRJoe Rogan
How did they all die?
- TDTim Dillon
"Germany's far-right AFD suffers series of candidate deaths ahead of local votes."Well, I would imagine they were assassinated, Tim.
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.
- TDTim Dillon
(clears throat) No evidence of foul play. (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Thank God. Thank God, I was worried.
- TDTim Dillon
(laughs) What are the odds that that many people- (laughs) ... that are a part of something die that quickly?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- TDTim Dillon
Uh, they said it was six, but today it's seven. Number of deaths has nevertheless raised questions on social media. That said, like, if they really are far right extremists-
- JRJoe Rogan
Maybe they're out there doing fentanyl. Maybe they're wacky people.
- TDTim Dillon
Maybe they're doing, maybe they're doing something. Seven seems like a really inconvenient number of people to die before an election. Yeah. That seems to be-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yes.
- TDTim Dillon
... quite suspect. Right up there with the Mexican assassinations. Yeah. Well, this is... Europe right now has become, you know, we had our election, so then the UK right now is kind of the most interesting place to watch, because of everything that's taking place. And Germany is not far behind. But like, this is where a lot of the tumult in the world is coming to a head, in like Europe, the UK. Mm-hmm. Things with migration, things with speech-
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm-hmm.
- 7:09 – 9:59
Graham Linehan arrest: tweets, trans politics, and criminalizing speech
- TDTim Dillon
... that we talked about. Yeah, the Graham Linehan stuff.
- JRJoe Rogan
Crazy.
- TDTim Dillon
He, he left this podcast, and I was telling him, "Why are you gonna go back?" Like, it s- seems crazy to go back, 'cause he's living in America now.
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.
- TDTim Dillon
I'm like, "Why, why are you gonna go back?" He goes like, "Well, I have to. I have a court case." He's getting sued by some crazy trans person, and, um, goes back and was arrested for three tweets. And what were the... Do we know what the tweets were?
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh yeah.
- TDTim Dillon
I mean, not that- Yeah, one of 'em is a photo-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- TDTim Dillon
... of a trans rally. It says, "A photo that you can smell." That's it. (sighs) I mean, it's like so wild that you would be put in handcuffs for that tweet. The other one- None of them are, obviously, yeah. ... is a photo of, uh, these trans people, where he commented, "Homophobes and, and, uh, misogynists, all of them. Fuck them."
- JRJoe Rogan
Right. Right.
- TDTim Dillon
Imagine.
- JRJoe Rogan
You would think that would put you in the clear. (laughs)
- TDTim Dillon
(laughs) But imagine.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- TDTim Dillon
That's one of the posts-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- TDTim Dillon
... that they cited-
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.
- TDTim Dillon
... as being the reason for, for arresting him.
- JRJoe Rogan
Interesting.
- TDTim Dillon
And then the other one is saying that if, uh, a man, uh, who identifies as a woman enters a women's bathroom, he is committing a, uh... And, uh, we- we should pull it up just so I can get the-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- TDTim Dillon
... so I don't misquote it. Uh, I- I retweeted it, so it's on my Twitter page, if you wanna find it. But, uh, something about that it's a... I forget what, how he described the act, but the- the- the problem was that he said, "You should yell, you should call authorities, yell, and if that doesn't work, punch him in the balls."
- JRJoe Rogan
Right. Fun.
- TDTim Dillon
Yeah. Yeah, fun. So here it is. "If a trans-identified male is in a female-only space, he is committing a violent, abusive act. Make a scene, call the cops, and if all else fails, punch him in the balls."
- JRJoe Rogan
There's something-
- TDTim Dillon
Arrested.
- JRJoe Rogan
... in this-
- TDTim Dillon
You belong in a locked-up cage-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- 9:59 – 12:47
Saudi comedy payday and the migration ‘double standard’ argument
- JRJoe Rogan
I will be doing it at the Riyadh Comedy Festival very soon.
- TDTim Dillon
(screams)
- JRJoe Rogan
Get your tickets! Ah!
- TDTim Dillon
Get your tickets! Are you really gonna go there?
- JRJoe Rogan
Of course I am.
- TDTim Dillon
Wow.
- JRJoe Rogan
Why would I not?
- TDTim Dillon
Uh... (groans)
- JRJoe Rogan
Where they kill gay people and women.
- TDTim Dillon
Yeah. (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
By the way, we've said that about... We say this about every Muslim... Every Muslim country's throwing gay people off the roof all the time-
- TDTim Dillon
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
... by the way. Okay? Um, I obviously don't agree with Saudi Arabian policies on women and things like that.
- TDTim Dillon
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Is it my business to tell Saudi Arabia how to live? Truly.
- TDTim Dillon
How big was the check?
- JRJoe Rogan
$375,000 for one show.
- TDTim Dillon
Nice.
- JRJoe Rogan
That's not bad.
- TDTim Dillon
That's pretty good.
- JRJoe Rogan
That's not bad.
- TDTim Dillon
I'll take that.
- JRJoe Rogan
I'll watch a behanding for that.
- TDTim Dillon
(laughs) Behanding?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- TDTim Dillon
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
It's called a behanding. What happens is they cut the hand off the thief.
- TDTim Dillon
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Here's the thing.
- TDTim Dillon
Don't steal.
- 12:47 – 17:12
Demographics, family policy, and the economics of having kids
- TDTim Dillon
... like, how many babies they're having versus how many babies the English people... I mean, they're openly talking about it, "We're going to out-breed you."
- JRJoe Rogan
This is why when people talk about this issue, they often use the example of, you know, Western countries not reproducing enough-
- TDTim Dillon
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
... not replicating their population, and they go, "Well, there's going to be a crisis because people are not having enough children, so immigration is needed to sustain the population." What they never talk about is why people aren't having enough children, and a lot of it is because economically they feel like they cannot afford to. Culturally, there have been policies that have, you know, focused on things outside of the family. We haven't had a ton of, like, pro-family policies in Western countries.
- TDTim Dillon
There's a little bit of that, but then there's also the issue that a lot of people have careers and they're trying to wait, okay? So-
- JRJoe Rogan
Sure.
- TDTim Dillon
... if you're a woman-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- TDTim Dillon
... and you're in your 30s and you've decided-
- JRJoe Rogan
Gross.
- TDTim Dillon
... you want to have a family-
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs) Just joking.
- TDTim Dillon
... and, you know, you're 35, 36-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- TDTim Dillon
... as you get older, the ch- the odds of you getting pregnant drop pretty radically.
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, th- but this is part of the... I think part of the problem in Western societies is we've told wo- women that being a mother is som- is not as fulfilling as, as working in a Fortune 500 company.
- TDTim Dillon
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
And I don't know any women that are mothers that regret it or, or are un- unhappy. I... M- most of the happiest people I know are, are women with children.
- TDTim Dillon
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Truly.
- TDTim Dillon
Y- they're very happy if that's what they want, and if they're-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yes.
- TDTim Dillon
... very miserable if that's not what they want.
- JRJoe Rogan
I'm not saying they all should have children, but it... There's a lot of people... I, I... You know, when you meet a young couple with children, I've never met happier people, personally-
- TDTim Dillon
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
... than that.
- TDTim Dillon
No, that's true. Um, as long as they're getting along and as long as the, the woman actually wanted to have children.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yes.
- TDTim Dillon
But there's a lot of women that are, like... There was this lady that I knew back in California that was... It was really sad. Uh, she was, like, uh, super career-oriented and, uh, she had a child that was friend with... Friends with my child, and, uh, she was never home. I mean, she, she would get home at, like, 7:30, 8:00 at night.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- 17:12 – 19:55
‘Who will be your doctor?’: immigration, labor narratives, and AI-safe jobs satire
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, not only that. You know, I was talking to my aunt about immigration, who I like, and she, you know, was, was basically going... I said, "You know, I think you also have to pause legal immigration for a b- a, a minute." And she goes, "Well, then who's gonna be your doctor?" 'Cause she has an Indian doctor.
- TDTim Dillon
Oh, boy.
- JRJoe Rogan
And I said, "Well, wait a minute."
- TDTim Dillon
That's hilarious.
- JRJoe Rogan
I said, "Hold on-"
- TDTim Dillon
That's hilarious.
- JRJoe Rogan
I s- That's what she said. She goes, "Well, who's gonna be your doctor?" She's a Boomer aunt sitting at my house in Southampton-
- TDTim Dillon
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
... you know, going, "Well, who's gonna be your doctor?" And I go, "Why are we not training American children to be doctors in America?"
- TDTim Dillon
What'd she say to that?
- JRJoe Rogan
She goes, "Well, no one does their homework. I was a teacher for 30 years-
- TDTim Dillon
Oh, God.
- JRJoe Rogan
... and I know that no one does their homework." And I go, "Do you think it's possible that nobody does their homework 'cause we need two incomes to run a house, and kids are left to play video games by themselves, and they're not being parented?" You know? So, I think this idea of, like, we're, we're importing doctors-
- TDTim Dillon
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
... you know what I mean?
- TDTim Dillon
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
'Cause this whole idea is like, "Oh, these are jobs Americans won't do." And then they're like, "Well, it's agriculture and stuff." And it's like, okay, you can understand some of that. But then you're like, "Wait a minute. Are you saying Americans don't wanna be doctors?" That's crazy. They don't wanna work in hotels or restaurants. Then you start going, "Well, what jobs can Americans do?" I mean, Marc Andreessen came out, and I don't know if you, you had, have the quote, Jamie. But, like, Marc Andreessen literally was talking about... And I don't have a problem with Marc Andreessen, per se. I think this statement was silly. He said, "Oh, yeah, after AI takes over, like, one of the only jobs that's gonna be okay," I swear to God he said this, "is venture capital." He goes, "That'll be okay, because we'll still need to make judgments about what's a worthy investment strategy."
- TDTim Dillon
How convenient that his-
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, yeah.
- TDTim Dillon
... job will be saved.
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, this is the whole thing, right. Yeah, right there. Marc Andreessen says, "One job is mostly safe from AI, uh, venture capitalist." It's just funny to me that-
- TDTim Dillon
That's hilarious.
- JRJoe Rogan
... that this is the direction. If, if immigrants were taking the jobs of Hollywood screenwriters, they would not be celebrating it. If immigrants were taking the job of people at white shoe law firms, they would not be celebrating it. If they were taking the job of investment bankers, they would not be celebrating it.
- TDTim Dillon
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
It's very obvious.
- TDTim Dillon
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
It's not anything wrong with the immigrants who come here. Obviously that I would come here too, to take someone's job, because I'd wanna survive.
- TDTim Dillon
It's just a weird argument, like, who's gonna be your doctor? That's a qu- that's a really weird argument.
- JRJoe Rogan
It's-
- TDTim Dillon
And it's kind of-
- 19:55 – 21:49

- JRJoe Rogan
It's a th- it's very racist against whites.
- TDTim Dillon
It is. And it's also weird. You know, it's a weird argument, 'cause it's like all human beings can, uh, of all nationalities and races can do basically every job.
- JRJoe Rogan
That's-
- TDTim Dillon
There's people that do it all over the world.
- JRJoe Rogan
That's-
- TDTim Dillon
The idea that you need to-
- JRJoe Rogan
... hopefully true.
- TDTim Dillon
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
But yes, no I'm kidding. Yes.
- TDTim Dillon
The most racist is, like, who's gonna clean your toilet? Like, we've, we've seen that.
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, that was Kelly Osbourne on The View.
- TDTim Dillon
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
She's all, "Mr. Trump, who's gonna eat your shit?"
- TDTim Dillon
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
"If you don't have immigrants here, who's gonna eat your shit when you shit in a toilet?"
- TDTim Dillon
By the way, is she in the Witness Protection Program? 'Cause she looks like a totally different human being now.
- JRJoe Rogan
I don't know what they did. They popped her on some of the Azamps and they threw her in the shed.
- 21:49 – 27:20
Hollywood face swaps: Kelly Osbourne, Kris Jenner, and the ‘new head’ era
- TDTim Dillon
Have you seen, uh, the new alien show that's on the Hulu?
- JRJoe Rogan
No, I haven't.
- TDTim Dillon
It's really good. It's an alien show. But one of the things they do, is they, they take, like, a dying person-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- TDTim Dillon
... and they download their consciousness-
- JRJoe Rogan
Interesting.
- TDTim Dillon
... into, like, a, a symbiotic organism.
- JRJoe Rogan
And they're, i- is this, oh, is this fake, or is it real? Like, are they a real dying person?
- TDTim Dillon
Well-
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, it's a fictional thing.
- TDTim Dillon
... it's a fictional-
- JRJoe Rogan
Okay.
- TDTim Dillon
It's Alien the movie.
- JRJoe Rogan
Gotcha.
- TDTim Dillon
Like Ridley Scott, Alien.
- JRJoe Rogan
Gotcha.
- TDTim Dillon
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Okay.
- TDTim Dillon
And I wonder if that happened to her.
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, for sure. I mean-
- TDTim Dillon
'Cause otherwise, like, how does she look, like-
- JRJoe Rogan
That's the problem. You wanna defend Hollywood people sometimes against the QAnon stuff, and then you look at them-
- TDTim Dillon
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
... and you're like, "Oh, God. Can you make it easier for me to say you're not a clone?"
- TDTim Dillon
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Because-
- TDTim Dillon
I mean, these young girls are 23 years old and they have so much plastic surgery, they look like they're 47.
- JRJoe Rogan
It's nuts. It's crazy.
- TDTim Dillon
They have Botox already and they're in their 20s.
- JRJoe Rogan
And then all the QAnon people are like, "It's because they're not getting enough of the whatever, you know, adrenochrome." And you're like, "No, that's not it." And then you look at their faces, you go, "Oh, shit."
- 27:20 – 33:26
Chasing youth to immortality: transhumanism, billionaire power, WEF surveillance fears
- JRJoe Rogan
Some- thing I worry a little bit about a society where people keep chasing youth.
- TDTim Dillon
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
My grandfather, my grandmother, old people, wrinkles-
- TDTim Dillon
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
... wisdom. You know, my grandmother was not running around trying to look like her daughter.
- TDTim Dillon
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
I worry a little bit about, and I'm not saying there's anything wrong with cosmetic surgery, and people should look as good as they want. I worry a little bit spiritually, slightly, about where this leads.
- TDTim Dillon
That's a good worry.
- JRJoe Rogan
That's all.
- TDTim Dillon
No, that's legitimate, a person-
- JRJoe Rogan
I li- and I li- and I'm saying this as someone who likes her new look.
- TDTim Dillon
Yes.
- JRJoe Rogan
I think she looks good and I would not tell her to not do it.
- TDTim Dillon
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
I'm just wondering, if someone's 90 and they look 30, I'm a little curious. I guess we're just heading towards everlasting life on Earth?
- TDTim Dillon
Well, it depends on what your focus is.
- JRJoe Rogan
Scares me a little.
- TDTim Dillon
So if you're a person that focuses on expanding your consciousness and you're constantly reading and you're absorbing new... and you just wanna have more energy and be youthful, that's great. But if the whole thing you're chasing is, "I want people to wanna fuck me," (smacks lips) that gets weird.
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, e- well, not only that, but, of course that, but also, to me, there's something strange about the denial of death, the denial of that life is finite in a physical form, and the idea that you are going to live forever, to me, feels there's gotta be some examination of that.
- TDTim Dillon
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Part of this feels like that a little bit.
- TDTim Dillon
There's a little bit of that.
- JRJoe Rogan
Some of these people are trying to live forever and I'm wondering about that.
- TDTim Dillon
Well, they certainly want to stay younger for a lot longer than anybody ever has before. And then you get into the weird realm of a lot of these people that want to do something to the body where it becomes immortal. Right?
- JRJoe Rogan
Right. And that, that's very interesting to me. And I, I-
- TDTim Dillon
Transhumanism.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. That to me is a little scary. I don't understand. I'm not smart enough to understand it, and I worry about it from many angles.
- TDTim Dillon
Well-
- JRJoe Rogan
It gets weird when it's really rich people.
- TDTim Dillon
Right. Right, because when it's really young people (clears throat) and you're like, you wanna stay young forever, so you're 23 and you're getting Botox. Oh, you poor kid.

Peter Thiel’s ‘Antichrist’ lectures and elite eccentricities
- TDTim Dillon
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
"... deserve neither." Yeah, I mean, it's true. I just think... You know, uh, you know, Peter Thiel is giving a four-part lecture on the Antichrist.
- TDTim Dillon
Yeah, that seems odd.
- JRJoe Rogan
Four part... Well, here's what's really wild to me. Four parts. It's not just one. One lecture on the Antichrist would be insane. This guy's doing a series. He's doing a four-part lecture on the Antichrist, and nobody in his inner orbit went, "Peter, how about one lecture on the Antichrist or no lectures? Not four."
- TDTim Dillon
Well, I don't think he understands the optics.
- JRJoe Rogan
He certainly does not.
- TDTim Dillon
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
It's- it's- it's odd. Yeah.
- TDTim Dillon
Tickets sold out. (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs) Well, of course.
- TDTim Dillon
Well, it's a private, it's a private lecture at a club in San Francisco about the Antichrist. What does he know about the Antichrist? Is he, like-
- JRJoe Rogan
I'm guessing a lot.
- TDTim Dillon
Th- uh... If- if you told me there was a movie-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- TDTim Dillon
... and there was a guy who played the Antichrist. Zoom in on that image of him.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- TDTim Dillon
I would say, "Oh, is that him? Is that the Antichrist?"
- JRJoe Rogan
This is like me doing a four-part lecture on Long Island racism.
- TDTim Dillon
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs) Just to show everybody, you know, how much I know about it and how scary it is and how we gotta watch out for it, but it's totally not me or anyone I know.
- TDTim Dillon
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
It's no one that's ever been in my backyard, but those others... He's a, he's just kind of, uh, you know, leaning in, I guess.

- TDTim Dillon
Well, I just don't understand, like, w- why, what... I would like... Someone saw it. Someone saw one of the lectures that he did on the Antichrist.
- JRJoe Rogan
Was it good?
- TDTim Dillon
It might have been Duncan. He said it was boring.
- JRJoe Rogan
It's of course gonna be boring.
- TDTim Dillon
But I don't understand. Like, what is he doing?
- JRJoe Rogan
He's trying to prove he's not the Antichrist.
- 40:40 – 54:36
Epstein, kompromat, and political selection: from DC Madam to ‘compromised’ leaders
- JRJoe Rogan
It's not a threat. Now, these big Hollywood types that go, "I'm gonna blow the whistle on whatever the hell's going on." They go, "Bye-bye."
- TDTim Dillon
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
You know what I mean? Or a mainstream journalist who's like, "I'm gonna write an article about something, and you know, it's gonna lead to a congressional investigation."
- TDTim Dillon
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
They go, "Bye-bye."
- TDTim Dillon
Yeah. It's when you actually create problems, not when you're just a part of the right-wing conspiracy ecosphere.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, 'cause they can just dismiss you-
- TDTim Dillon
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
... as a crank, and then you've written-
- TDTim Dillon
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
... volumes of this book, and no one cares. Like, and I... And by the way, I'm not saying it's not a great book. I'm saying it's not moving the needle for them. If you have a hard drive, uh, with something on it, a U- USB, if somebody gives you, you know... If you have something that could put them in jail-
- TDTim Dillon
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
... you're dead.
- TDTim Dillon
So, how is Anthony Weiner still alive?
- JRJoe Rogan
Anthony Weiner's still alive because... I believe there's two possibilities. Number one, there's a dead man switch somewhere.
- TDTim Dillon
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
Meaning that there's something somewhere.
- TDTim Dillon
You know the story about his laptop with the cops that saw it?
- JRJoe Rogan
And the c- Supposedly, they're all dead?
- TDTim Dillon
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- TDTim Dillon
A bunch of them.
- JRJoe Rogan
Crazy.
- TDTim Dillon
Yeah. How many cops are dead?
- NANarrator
I'm looking.
- TDTim Dillon
Google that. And... But the other thing is that they said what they saw-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- TDTim Dillon
... was so horrific-
- JRJoe Rogan
Then that's... They... Yeah.
- TDTim Dillon
... and like some of them took their own lives.
- 54:36 – 1:04:25
Platform politics and campaign theater: Kamala anecdotes, NGO money, Newsom as ‘internet troll’
- TDTim Dillon
Well, thank God the NELK Boys got to the bottom of everything.
- JRJoe Rogan
They got to the bottom of it and, you know, it was a brilliant... I didn't know how he felt about (laughs) Burger King. I never knew and now I do. Um, well, listen, we have these shows. Everybody has a platform. Everybody wants to be on these shows and everybody has a line of bullshit. We all... We know. It's the way it is.
- TDTim Dillon
Yes.
- JRJoe Rogan
It's the way it is. It's unavoidable. It's not... You can't avoid it. People get mad. "You s- you talked to who?" Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's what it is. You're listening to the thing.... maybe I do a great job, maybe I do a okay job, maybe I do a bad job. I don't know. But you're the person listening. You can choose to like it, dislike it. You can say, "That guy's full of shit." You can say, "I agree with him there, but I don't agree with him there." You could say, "I distrust this person." You could say, "He makes my spidey senses go off." Those are all avail- you can have any of those thoughts. You know?
- TDTim Dillon
And you could also have the thought that you shouldn't be talking to that person.
- JRJoe Rogan
You can also have the thought that you shouldn't be talking to that person.
- TDTim Dillon
Yeah, when people have that thought with me-
- JRJoe Rogan
And that's fair.
- TDTim Dillon
... and, or that I don't push back hard enough, or... You're allowed to think all those things. Everybody's allowed to have their own opinions on all this shit.
- JRJoe Rogan
Everyone's allowed. Everyone's allowed.
- TDTim Dillon
Um, but, you know, we're living in the wildest fucking time.
- JRJoe Rogan
This is the wildest time probably that, that I can remember. I'm sure there's other wilder times. Well-
- TDTim Dillon
I think this is globally the wildest time ever, because there's never been a connection like this with everybody and everything.
- JRJoe Rogan
A guy who's perpetuating an ethnic cleansing going on the podcast of, uh, prank video influencers to discuss Burger King is one of the craziest things I've seen in my life.
- TDTim Dillon
You know, and what's al-
- JRJoe Rogan
But that's crazy.
- TDTim Dillon
Also, wasn't there, like, pre-prepared-
- JRJoe Rogan
And it's th-
- TDTim Dillon
... questions that they had-
- JRJoe Rogan
They were pre-
- TDTim Dillon
... to stick to?
- JRJoe Rogan
Number one, there were pre-pre-pre-pre-prepared questions. Number two, Burger King does suck. Number three-
- TDTim Dillon
I liked them when I was a kid.
- JRJoe Rogan
They fell off.
- TDTim Dillon
I liked the whole flame broiled.
- JRJoe Rogan
Wendy's fell off. It was all great.
- TDTim Dillon
Wendy's fell off? Since when?
- JRJoe Rogan
Wendy's has fallen off so hard. In the '90s, it was one of the best restaurants in the country.
- TDTim Dillon
But don't they still use fresh not frozen, or is that bullshit now?
- JRJoe Rogan
You know, everybody's full of shit. I don't know. It's not good. It's not the same.
- 1:04:25 – 1:12:24
2028 chessboard: Trump succession, JD Vance doubts, MTG spectacle, AOC donor pressures
- TDTim Dillon
This is the thing, like, we're, we are now entering into 2026, okay? So, we only have four years betw- from 2024 to 2028. It's really only two years, you know? Because it's like everybody has to get accustomed to these people.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- TDTim Dillon
They have to be in the public eye. It's not like someone's gonna run for president within the last six months and they're gonna win.
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.
- TDTim Dillon
Y- you need someone who's out there for minimum of 24 months.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yes.
- TDTim Dillon
So, who else?
- JRJoe Rogan
There's g-
- TDTim Dillon
We're in 2026, right? So we have two years left.
- JRJoe Rogan
Trump.
- TDTim Dillon
So who?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, it's him. It's Gavin. It's him.
- TDTim Dillon
It has to be.
- JRJoe Rogan
Now, on the right, there's going to be a power struggle, and either Trump will live through his term ... Let's hope he does, but he's 80, so you never know, but he's healthy enough right now.
- TDTim Dillon
Allegedly healthy enough.
- JRJoe Rogan
Allegedly healthy enough.
- TDTim Dillon
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
If he lives through his term and he knights somebody, whether it's JD or whoever, that will be the person. There is a world in which he doesn't knight anyone, and there is a real power struggle between different factions of that party.
- TDTim Dillon
Well, who, what are the factions?
- JRJoe Rogan
You have-
- TDTim Dillon
So you have JD-
- JRJoe Rogan
You have JD.
- TDTim Dillon
... who's, who's the vice president, who's the obvious.
- JRJoe Rogan
The obvious.
- TDTim Dillon
And then the problem with Ron DeSantis is he wore stilts.
- JRJoe Rogan
Ron DeSantis is a cop energy. He has a guy that pulled you over energy, and you go, "Was it really 85?" He's a prick. No one likes him. Everyone ... He's offends everyone. I knew a bunch of ... I- I know a friend who's in finance. A bunch of hedge fund guys went down to Florida. This was in, like, the throes of the campaign. He ended up insulting all of them. He's dismissive of people. He doesn't have it.
- TDTim Dillon
Hmm. Hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
The question is Vance, who's smart, does Vance have it? There's doubts, real doubts that if he has it or not. I like him as a guy. There's doubts. I'm not saying he doesn't have it.
- TDTim Dillon
What are the, what are the doubts?
- JRJoe Rogan
That he doesn't have it. He doesn't have the charisma. He's stiff as a board. He's a klutz. He dropped a trophy. He's not articulate enough. He doesn't, he doesn't have it. People-
- 1:12:24 – 1:24:06
Weather modification and ‘space lasers’: conspiracy-as-parody meets real cloud seeding
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- NANarrator
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Now she says, "The United States deserves this type of defense for our southern border." Okay, I don't think Jewish space lasers did that, but there was a real concern with the wildfires of Ontario. Yes.
- TDTim Dillon
That so many of them started simultaneously over a large distance that it is almost impossible that this was not some sort of a concerted effort to start this fire. And then there was the question, were they experimenting with some sort of space or satellite-based-
- JRJoe Rogan
That got away from them.
- TDTim Dillon
... energy weapon?
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, what about these floods-
- TDTim Dillon
I don't even know if it got away from them because it's conveniently-
- JRJoe Rogan
You know, these floods in-
- TDTim Dillon
... in the middle of the woods.
- JRJoe Rogan
What about these floods in Texas?
- TDTim Dillon
What about them?
- JRJoe Rogan
With the cloud seeding.
- TDTim Dillon
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
This is a problem.
- TDTim Dillon
Well, they were cloud seeding-
- JRJoe Rogan
They're cloud seeding.
- TDTim Dillon
... just a few days before that.
- JRJoe Rogan
That's a problem.
- TDTim Dillon
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
That's a problem.
- TDTim Dillon
Well, that's also the problem that happened in Abu Dhabi, or no, Dubai.
- JRJoe Rogan
That's right.
- TDTim Dillon
In Dubai, which where they openly admit that this is a cloud s-
- JRJoe Rogan
They're manipulating the weather.
- TDTim Dillon
Yes.
- JRJoe Rogan
All these people are manipulating the weather.
- TDTim Dillon
Where you're going, in Abu Dhabi, they do it once a week.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- TDTim Dillon
Hopefully you'll get there on a rainy day.
