    (drumming music) Joe Rogan podcast.…

    1. JD

      (drumming music) Joe Rogan podcast. Check it out.

    2. NA

      The Joe Rogan Experience.

    3. JD

      Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day. (rock music) I'm trying to get to that.

    4. JR

      Yeah, that's the key. That's the-

    5. JD

      But they're tricking me, Joe. They're- they're-

    6. JR

      Oh, yeah.

    7. JD

      ... they're baiting me in with the algorithm.

    8. JR

      Yeah, these motherfuckers. They get me too. They get me in the morning. When I was-

    9. JD

      I was just talking about it with Jamie, that like-

    10. JR

      Are we rolling?

    11. NA

      Yeah, yeah.

    12. JR

      Yeah.

    13. JD

      I was just talking about with him, is like, I'm so good at, like, not caring what people think, sort of. And then I find, no, I really care a lot. Like, I'm like-

    14. JR

      (laughs)

    15. JD

      ... in a constant tug of war of that.

    16. JR

      Everybody cares.

    17. JD

      Because I used to have Google alerts on.

    18. JR

      Oh, no. For your name?

    19. JD

      Yeah.

    20. JR

      Oh.

    21. JD

      Yeah. And then I had to get rid of that.

    22. JR

      Oh, how dare you do that.

    23. JD

      Yeah. Then I was like, "I'm gonna check the YouTube comments." So that's when-

    24. JR

      No.

    25. JD

      ... that was a ring that I had to close. I'm slowly closing the rings. The ring I'm stuck in right now is checking what, like, my comedy peers are up to. You know, that kind of stuff.

    26. JR

      Oh, no.

    27. JD

      The one, the- the- they make videos-

    28. JR

      Let me get you a cigar.

    29. JD

      The videos they make of like, uh, "Oh, so and so is- is, you know, having a breakdown, or Marc Maron said this." Or those kind of, like those rings, you know?

    30. JR

      Oh, no, no, no.

  2. 15:0030:00

    Mm-hmm. …

    1. JR

      to compete at a, at a peak level, and then you get a drop off. Some people have more longevity than others. It varies. Some people it's a much shorter reign, and you gotta kinda look at who they were when they were at the top. You can on- you can only look at them when they're at that peak. Like guys like Anderson Silva, he gets, gets kinda dismissed because later in his life the performances weren't the same. They weren't elite performances. But I say that's just human.

    2. JD

      Mm-hmm.

    3. JR

      You gotta look at him when he was the champion. He was one of the most elite guys that's ever competed in the sport, period. He's one of the greatest of all time. But you can only, you gotta look at when he was in his prime.

    4. JD

      Sure.

    5. JR

      You know? And there's only a certain amount of time he can do that. And then when a fighter doesn't want to do that and only that anymore, you gotta get out. You gotta get out, 'cause there's some fucking 20-year-old Mike Tyson out there. There's some animal.

    6. JD

      Mm-hmm.

    7. JR

      There's some dude that lives, breathes, sleeps fighting, and they, all they wanna do is land shots and take you out. They just, they, that's their whole focus in life. They don't give a fuck about relationships. They don't give a fuck about where they live. They don't f- give a fuck about anything, just winning. And that's how you become a world champion. That's how you become elite. But you can only maintain it for so long. It's not a normal way for a human being to exist. It's very, it's a very strange way to live.

    8. JD

      Yeah. (laughs) For sure.

    9. JR

      You know? And for her it's natural. Like, she's a woman. She's like, "I wanna have babies. I have this great man, and-"

    10. JD

      Yeah.

    11. JR

      ... and she's married to Travis Browne, who's also a beast, who was a elite UFC heavyweight, top 10 heavyweight. You know, she's like, "I'm done. I'm gonna make some warrior kids." I get it.

    12. JD

      I saw it and I was like, what the hell does that mean?

    13. JR

      Boo.

    14. JD

      She's quitting?

    15. JR

      She just didn't want to beat up-

    16. JD

      You don't wanna fight anymore?

    17. JR

      No, no, no. She-

    18. JD

      Now my niece is rooting for Holly Holm. Good lady.

    19. JR

      Yeah.

    20. JD

      Holly Holm's nice.

    21. JR

      She is nice.

    22. JD

      Yeah.

    23. JR

      Yeah.

    24. JD

      That's what we like.

    25. JR

      (laughs)

    26. JD

      We like the winners who are nice.

    27. JR

      I, yeah, I get it, but there's something about Ronda being Ronda that made the sport what it is.

    28. JD

      But I root for-

    29. JR

      That's, that's what-

    30. JD

      ... Luke Skywalker-

  3. 30:0045:00

    Right. …

    1. JR

      them with better ideas. It's not a 30-06 round to the neck-

    2. JD

      Right.

    3. JR

      ... publicly, where people are cheering. That's crazy.

    4. JD

      And they kept it vague. They keep it vague. That's how it always works.

    5. JR

      Yeah.

    6. JD

      It's like, well, I go, "Well, why don't, why are you s- why are you posting on, um, social media that you, that you're happy about i- or that you're not sad about it? Just tell me simply why, why you think that." And they go, "Well, because his ideas were dangerous." Super vague.... didn't say the ideas, didn't say how they're dangerous or why they're dangerous. It's always vague.

    7. JR

      Well, there's also a problem with clips. When you take soundbites, like very short clips out of context of what someone's saying, and then you highlight that one particular sentence and the way they said that sentence, you could frame someone in a very different way than-

    8. JD

      Yep.

    9. JR

      ... who they really are. And I think there was some problems with some of the things that Charlie said, the way he said them, and i- in the fact that you could take it as a clip. And one of 'em was the idea of DEI pilots.

    10. JD

      Mm-hmm.

    11. JR

      Like the idea of any lowering of standards of anyone in a really important job like a pilot because a person is blank, fill in the blank, because they're a lesbian, or because they're gay, or because they're white, or because they're Chinese, or because they're Black, or whatever it is. If you're lowering standards because you want more people of one thing, well, you've just made the skies a little more dangerous.

    12. JD

      Right.

    13. JR

      You've made a, a very dangerous thing, which is flying, a little more dangerous. So his statement was, because they're doing this and they're trying to get... They're using DEI to hire people, and when I get on a plane and I see a Black pilot, I hope that they're qualified.

    14. JD

      Or he wonders.

    15. JR

      Yeah.

    16. JD

      He said, "I don't want... I hate that when I see a Black pilot, my mind thinks, 'I wonder if they were part of a DEI hiring'."

    17. JR

      Right.

    18. JD

      Correct.

    19. JR

      Right. That's... It's a problem in the way he said it.

    20. JD

      Right.

    21. JR

      Instead of saying that that way, because what... One of the things that I pointed out is that what DEI, especially in regards to education, the people that it discriminates the most against, like people say it's a white supremacists idea to, uh, to be against DEI. The people that DEI discriminates the most against in education is Asians, because Asians fucking kill it in universities. They kill it.

    22. JD

      Yeah.

    23. JR

      So much so that there was a giant lawsuit at Harvard because they were making their admission standards more difficult for Asian people than they were for white people, for Black people, for everybody else. They made Asians more difficult because if they didn't, half of their fucking population-

    24. JD

      Yeah.

    25. JR

      ... in their classes would be Asian because they work harder.

    26. JD

      Right.

    27. JR

      It's a cultural thing. You know, I grew up in Taekwondo, and I grew up around a lot of Koreans. And man, you haven't seen work ethic until you've seen first generation Koreans who come over to America and, you know, they have those tiger moms and tiger dads. That's a real thing, dude.

    28. JD

      That's good.

    29. JR

      That is a fuck... I guess-

    30. JD

      Well, I mean, for these sort of subjects.

  4. 45:001:00:00

    So did he. (coughs)…

    1. JR

      against that because I have so many hours of me talking.

    2. JD

      So did he. (coughs)

    3. JR

      Yeah, but in a different way, where people are listening to me having these three-hour conversations. It's like, it's kinda hard to label me to anybody who's paying attention. And it's just the... It's also the, the benefit of having the biggest platform in the world.

    4. JD

      Right.

    5. JR

      Like, it's like, there's enough people that have seen so many shows that, like, "I know who that guy is."

    6. JD

      Right.

    7. JR

      "That's not who that guy is." It's-

    8. JD

      I think you're giving them a lot of, uh, grace, because-

    9. JR

      You have to.

    10. JD

      I... 'Cause, like, I... People are just going, "Aren't you afraid of AI?" No, not afraid of AI. What I'm afraid of is clips, short context things. Even recently, I did Howie Mandel's podcast, and I, uh, got asked for the millionth time about the Marc Maron thing. And, and I was like, "What? Dude, the, the good part of that Marc Maron story is that we buried it," I, I think. Who knows? It'll rear its head again, I'm sure.

    11. JR

      Not with that guy, there's no burying anything with that guy.

    12. JD

      Oh, I know, but, like, I was like, "How about that story? Tell that story, Howie, that we shook hands-

    13. JR

      Yeah.

    14. JD

      ... at The Comedy Store and were able to share a stage, and sh-... Not a stage, but share the, the... A room full of stages." And, um, it just... Howie's... Howie Mandel's team just posted the thing, so, you know, all the comments are like, "Jeff Daw, I can't stop talking about Marc Maron again."

    15. JR

      Hey.

    16. JD

      And, like, that's what I'm saying is that Charlie Kirk's guilty of... Or not guilty of it, but a victim of it. Um, this, this short real thing that is out of context is not a three-hour conversation. No one's listening to Trump in long form. No one listened to Charlie Kirk in long form. The people that were informed did.

    17. JR

      Right.

    18. JD

      But I'm saying the, the, the everyday person is kind of just kind of collecting these excerpts-

    19. JR

      Right.

    20. JD

      ... and then forming a group think about those excerpts. And the group think becomes their reality.

    21. JR

      That's very true. It's very true.

    22. JD

      And I'm afraid of that for you.

    23. JR

      Yeah, that... There's pr-... That's true in some ways, but it's also benefits you in some ways too. It's like there's good and bad. Like, there's little things that you'll say that are funny that make it into clips. And that's good too. It's like the thing... Like, I was tr-... Talking to Tony about this, 'cause we were talking about people that complain about his show and talk shit about his show. I go, "Dude, they work for you. They don't realize it, but they work for you." They're the publicity arm-

    24. JD

      Sure.

    25. JR

      ... the negative publicity arm for the Kill Tony Show. Do... Don't w-worry about it and don't care.

    26. JD

      Yeah.

    27. JR

      You can't, you know-

    28. JD

      Write a book on that.

    29. JR

      It's-

    30. JD

      Teach me how to not care.

  5. 1:00:001:09:17

    (laughs) Ed knows. …

    1. JR

    2. JD

      (laughs) Ed knows.

    3. NA

      (laughs)

    4. JR

      (laughs) All right, uh, in Canada, people whose sole underlying medical condition is severe depression or any other mental illness are currently not eligible-

    5. JD

      Oh.

    6. JR

      ... for medical assistance in dying. This temporary exclusion includes psychiatric conditions like depression and personality disorders. The law excludes eligibility for MAID on the basis of mental illness alone in March 17, 2027. Uh, however, people with mental illnesses may be eligible if they have a grievious... grievous, grievious, or, uh, ir- irremedible... Boy, that's a word. Have you ever said that word? Irremediable?

    7. JD

      No, dude.

    8. JR

      Irremediable. I've never said that word.

    9. JD

      You don't know what you're talking to. I've never said that.

    10. JR

      Physical, but I've never even seen that. Irremediable? Physical health condition that meets MAID's criteria. The government has delayed eligibility expansion for mental illness due to concerns around safety and appropriate safeguards. Uh, when MAID for mental illness becomes le- becomes legal, they say it like it will be-

    11. JD

      2027, March.

    12. JR

      Oh, okay.

    13. JD

      Yeah.

    14. JR

      That's what I'd read. Okay. This was the issue, so they were going to. Okay. The law excludes eligibility for MAID on the basis of mental illness alone until March 17, 2027. So, there's a year and a few months, and then these people are eligible for this.... uh, as a 0.5-

    15. JD

      Numbers go up.

    16. JR

      ... severe depression alone does not qualify. So what it seems like is a lot of people that are just not doing well, it's the end of their life, and they're like, "I'd like to go out on my own terms."

    17. JD

      That's fair.

    18. JR

      I don't wanna just-

    19. JD

      Scary.

    20. NA

      Sad.

    21. JR

      ... walk into a library with a .44 and make people clean up.

    22. JD

      Or they go, "I'm a f- financial burden on my family."

    23. JR

      Right.

    24. JD

      Or, or those kinda things.

    25. JR

      Yeah, right.

    26. JD

      When you're an old person, you feel a little guilt that, like, "Ah, my kids are-"

    27. JR

      That's true. And also, sometimes people, like, one of their loved ones dies and they don't wanna be alone.

    28. JD

      Right.

    29. JR

      They just can't... They've been with this person for 45 years.

    30. JD

      My dad just died, and my mom is not doing great with the... I mean, she's been with him since she was 17.
