    (drumbeats) Joe Rogan podcast,…

    1. NA

      (drumbeats) Joe Rogan podcast, check it out. The Joe Rogan Experience.

    2. JR

      Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day. (instrumental music plays) So what's happening?

    3. KK

      It's all good, man.

    4. JR

      When are you bailing out of your country? It's sinking.

    5. NA

      (laughs)

    6. JR

      That is the fucking-

    7. NA

      (laughs)

    8. JR

      ... Titanic and you're one of the last deck hands. (laughs)

    9. KK

      We're gonna, we're gonna stand and fight, man. It's-

    10. NA

      Yeah. Are you really?

    11. KK

      Yeah.

    12. JR

      Good luck.

    13. KK

      No, we are.

    14. JR

      Good luck.

    15. NA

      (laughs) Yeah, we're the guys playing-

    16. KK

      As long as it's still okay.

    17. NA

      (laughs)

    18. JR

      They're gonna arrest you for saying, "Stand and fight."

    19. NA

      Yeah.

    20. KK

      It's-

    21. JR

      It's incitement of violence.

    22. KK

      Yeah.

    23. NA

      Yeah, yeah.

    24. KK

      Yeah. No, but it's got, it's interesting. I mean, obviously you had Graham Linehan on the show. We're gonna have him on as well, uh, soon to talk about it. But he, his, um... They're not gonna prosecute him. And not only that, they also said they are not going to investigate non-crime hate incidents anymore. Do you know what those are?

    25. JR

      Oh, interesting.

    26. KK

      It's basically when you've committed no crime but you're still, like, hateful.

    27. JR

      Oh, okay.

    28. KK

      So they-

    29. JR

      But that's also s- very subjective too.

    30. KK

      Yeah, of course.

  2. 15:0030:00

    96% of all biologists,…

    1. FF

      it depends on what science you're talking about.

    2. KK

      96% of all biologists, according to the NIH. Thoughts on human rights?

    3. FF

      I'm all for them. (laughs)

    4. KK

      Yeah, me too.

    5. FF

      Especially now, right? Yeah, yeah.

    6. KK

      For everybody, right?

    7. FF

      Yeah. Yeah.

    8. KK

      Even the unborn?

    9. FF

      Um, an unborn what?

    10. KK

      Uh, unborn in the womb.

    11. FF

      Yeah.

    12. KK

      Yeah. No rights for them. Thoughts on human rights?

    13. FF

      That's what we're here for. (laughs)

    14. KK

      Uh, for everybody, right?

    15. FF

      Yes.

    16. KK

      Including the unborn?

    17. FF

      No, no.

    18. NA

      (laughs)

    19. KK

      Everyone has autonomy to not feel that way.

    20. NA

      (laughs)

    21. KK

      But he's like, "No diggity," and he just pulls-

    22. JR

      Oh.

    23. FF

      You have no argument. You have... Stop taking rights away.

    24. Get outta here.

    25. JR

      "Nazi lives don't matter," it says on that guy's shirt that's just screaming.

    26. NA

      Yeah.

    27. JR

      Nazi lives don't matter.

    28. KK

      Yeah.

    29. JR

      Uh, who's that guy giving some props?

    30. KK

      Uh, I don't know. Here's the channel.

  3. 30:0045:00

    Mm-hmm. …

    1. JR

      their, their jaw drops. Like, "What?"

    2. NA

      Mm-hmm.

    3. JR

      I go, "Dude, they're going crazy over there."

    4. NA

      Yeah.

    5. JR

      Like, you have to pay attention. You have to pay attention 'cause this kind of shit is contagious.

    6. NA

      Mm-hmm.

    7. JR

      And if it gets into Germany and then it gets into Spain or it gets into other countries, like, it can pu- become a real fucking problem.

    8. NA

      Mm-hmm.

    9. JR

      Like, then you have full-on military dictatorship in England, 'cause that's what it always leads to.

    10. NA

      Mm-hmm.

    11. JR

      It 100% leads to military dictatorship.

    12. NA

      Yeah.

    13. JR

      If you're telling people they can't do things and you're trying to install socialism and then you get it in place, there's only one way to keep it in place.

    14. NA

      Mm-hmm.

    15. JR

      You gotta use the fucking army.

    16. NA

      (laughs)

    17. JR

      That's the only way. You gotta get men with guns to tell people, "You can only make so much money. You have to give away this."

    18. NA

      Mm-hmm.

    19. JR

      "We're gonna take that. We're the only ones that- ones who grow food. We're the only ones who do this. We're gonna assign you a job." Like, you fucked up. You, you fell into the, the age-old trap that's in- been exposed by history over and over and over again. And people are like, "We're gonna do it right this time."

    20. NA

      (laughs)

    21. JR

      They got blue hair and a fucking mask on and a cat T-shirt.

    22. NA

      (laughs)

    23. JR

      And they're morbidly obese and they're just marching down the street, and th- we're gonna let them run the country. Like, England, th- which used to run, like, most of the fucking world. One island of savages ran most of the world.

    24. NA

      (laughs)

    25. JR

      And now you're getting overrun with nonsense and you're arresting people for saying, "Hey, maybe we shouldn't have rape gangs." You know, "Maybe, maybe we shouldn't, maybe we shouldn't tolerate lawlessness in the streets."

    26. NA

      Oh, absolutely. I mean, it got so ridiculous in the UK that the Supreme Court had to get involved to make a decision whether boys had pee-pees and girls have foo-foos.

    27. JR

      (smacks lips) Pee-pees and foo-foos, that's an interesting way to put it.

    28. NA

      Yeah, that's it. But, but the reason-

    29. JR

      (clears throat)

    30. NA

      ... I'm using that language is just to highlight how comp-

  4. 45:001:00:00

    Mm-hmm. …

    1. JR

      shit." You're like, "Holy shit." They just started playing it. He's like, "I'm playi-"... 'Cause you could just play whatever you wanted back then.

    2. NA

      Mm-hmm.

    3. JR

      There was no Jack FM.

    4. NA

      (laughs)

    5. JR

      'Cause we're wacky. There was none of that. Do you guys have that? Where it's like a- just all hits and it's like the-

    6. NA

      Yeah.

    7. JR

      ... call is Jack FM? And there's a million Jack FMs in the United States? Just scattered throughout, like if you're-

    8. NA

      Mm-hmm.

    9. JR

      ... scanning through the radio, you just hear the most mundane hits-

    10. NA

      Mm-hmm.

    11. JR

      ... over and over again?

    12. NA

      Would that be Heart in the UK? Yeah, that would be like Heart. We, we do a version of that.

    13. JR

      Yeah.

    14. NA

      What's also interesting about Jackson's career is that MTV at the time, now you've got to... That, that was when MTV was starting to reach its peak, early '80s, and they were saying that they wouldn't play a Black artist.

    15. JR

      Right.

    16. NA

      Because the moment they played Black artists, they said ratings would go down, viewings would go down, people wouldn't like it. And the person who really broke through and proved that Black artists could be r- hyper-successful on TV, in the mainstream, on a supposedly white inverted commas channel, was Michael Jackson because he was completely undeniable.

    17. JR

      When this was going on, DJs, um, when this guy was playing this song, were allowed to play whatever they wanted. It was a different world.

    18. NA

      Mm. Mm.

    19. JR

      Like if a DJ was an interesting person.

    20. NA

      Mm-hmm.

    21. JR

      Like there was one of the DJs, used to have this-

    22. NA

      In our country, he was a pedophile, but (laughs) that-

    23. JR

      (laughs) Well, ours was a little, too, I think.

    24. NA

      (laughs)

    25. JR

      I think there was a scandal with one of ours at Boston, too. But the point is like, these... They were interesting people that would say cool things, they would-

    26. NA

      Mm-hmm.

    27. JR

      ... tell you about something they heard of.

    28. NA

      Mm-hmm.

    29. JR

      Tell you about some cool music, like, "Somebody turned me on to this. I'm gonna turn you guys at Stevie Ray Vaughan."

    30. NA

      Mm-hmm.

  5. 1:00:001:12:18

    Yeah. It's just too…

    1. KK

      right.

    2. JR

      Yeah. It's just too easy to destroy asteroids.

    3. KK

      Sorry, I said "exactly right" before you said, "We need an asteroid." (laughs)

    4. NA

      (laughs)

    5. JR

      That's right.

    6. KK

      Just to make it clear. I'm not coming out as pro-asteroid.

    7. JR

      I'm only kidding about the asteroid, but we do need a smack-

    8. KK

      Right.

    9. JR

      You know? Sometimes people need a smack. Sometimes men need a smack, in particular.

    10. KK

      Yeah.

    11. JR

      Like, there's a lot of men that they just get a little out of line and just need a smack.

    12. KK

      Hmm.

    13. JR

      Like, "Shut the fuck up-"

    14. KK

      Mm-hmm.

    15. JR

      ... and realize what this life really is."

    16. KK

      Mm-hmm.

    17. JR

      'Cause you're wasting... You don't have real problems, so you're wasting all your time creating problems. And this is just a- a giant portion of our world right now. And people feel like they have no power and they feel completely disconnected from things.

    18. KK

      Hmm. Mm-hmm.

    19. JR

      And the- the... They're also getting most of their interaction with human beings through social media, which is nuts. Either text message or social media.

    20. KK

      Mm-hmm.

    21. JR

      Like, this is a- a giant percentage of how people would communicate with each other, with no feelings, no- no context, no social cues, nothing.

    22. KK

      I- I think it's one of the reasons there's so many, like, beefs going on now as well.

    23. JR

      Mm-hmm.

    24. KK

      Is 'cause, like, you sit down with people, you're- you're gonna behave in a different way.

    25. JR

      100% of the time.

    26. KK

      Yeah.

    27. JR

      100%.

    28. KK

      Mm-hmm.

    29. FF

      Yeah.

    30. JR

      Yeah.
