    [upbeat music] Joe Rogan Podcast, check it out!…

    1. JR

      [upbeat music] Joe Rogan Podcast, check it out!

    2. WC

      The Joe Rogan Experience.

    3. JR

      Train by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day. [upbeat music]

    4. WC

      So that's just for Dice to hold?

    5. JR

      Yeah, he just holds onto them. Oh! And he, m- he holds onto them, and then he swaps them out for a new one.

    6. WC

      Was the unlit cigarette, like, the original fidget spinner?

    7. JR

      [laughing]

    8. WC

      Like-

    9. JR

      Well, most people don't do it, because most people, when they have a cigarette in their hand, they wanna light it.

    10. WC

      Mm.

    11. JR

      But Dice has got the ability to just hold onto the cigarette.

    12. WC

      Do you remember when candy cigarettes were a toy for kids?

    13. JR

      Yeah, I had those.

    14. WC

      [laughing] You do right?

    15. JR

      Oh, yeah, they were priming you.

    16. WC

      Totally, and they would poof, like, sugar would come out.

    17. JR

      No, I don't remember that.

    18. WC

      Oh, yeah, you'd go [exhaling] and, like, powdered sugar would come out.

    19. JR

      Really?

    20. WC

      Yeah. Am I right, Jamie? Am I making that up?

    21. JR

      I remember them just being like a candy that you sucked on.

    22. WC

      Or was that just the cocaine-

    23. SP

      Yeah, just a stick

    24. WC

      ... my parents put on it? [laughing]

    25. JR

      Yeah, it was just a candy stick.

    26. SP

      Nasty chalk stick. I remember them.

    27. JR

      Maybe there was, maybe there was a different one. Maybe there's more than one kind of candy cigarette.

    28. WC

      Couldn't you... There was, like, gummy cigars, I remember, and then the candy cigarettes. That must have been them just trying to get you addicted to just, like, the motion of it or, like, participate with your parents or something.

    29. JR

      Yeah, it was just a way to sell candy, but probably also engineered by the tobacco companies.

    30. WC

      Right.

  2. 15:0030:00

    Oh, really?…

    1. WC

      Oh, really?

    2. JR

      Of course. It's in the Bible.

    3. WC

      To be like: I just fucked these guys. They are gay. Let's get 'em.

    4. JR

      In the old days, in the Bible, if a man lieth with another man, you're supposed to be put to death.

    5. WC

      That means, like, someone signed up to be like: I'll do it. I'll, I'll investigate who's gay around here.

    6. JR

      Well, the thing is, though, they were all gay.

    7. WC

      Yeah. Mm-hmm.

    8. JR

      That's the crazy thing. Like, if you go back in history, guys were fucking each other all the time.

    9. WC

      Yeah.

    10. JR

      There was a... The Spartans did it. They had a philosophy that you would defend your lover more because, like, if you were fighting alongside a man that you loved, you would defend him more.

    11. WC

      Was it love?

    12. JR

      I don't know.

    13. WC

      Is that what love is?

    14. JR

      I don't know.

    15. WC

      I'm still trying to figure it out. [laughing]

    16. JR

      Everybody's got their own definition for that. Like, what is it?

    17. WC

      Yeah.

    18. JR

      Love is mysterious.

    19. WC

      Mm-hmm. That's a- that's wild. I always am like, what are the things we're doing now that we're gonna look back in 50 years and be like: Remember in 2006 when they were doing that?

    20. JR

      Trans surgeries.

    21. WC

      Mm.

    22. JR

      100%, especially on children.

    23. WC

      Also, having phones 24/7.

    24. JR

      100%.

    25. WC

      Do you think phones will be like cigarettes, where we'll be like-

    26. JR

      No, no, it'll be in your body by then.

    27. WC

      Oh, right.

    28. JR

      It, uh, it'll be fun. They'll, they'll be laughing. Remember when you used to have to carry your phone around?

    29. WC

      Right.

    30. JR

      Back in my day-

  3. 30:0045:00

    Mm.…

    1. JR

      that is cooking them.

    2. WC

      Mm.

    3. JR

      So, like, this is like... I used to eat-- I used to always drink, uh, kale smoothies.

    4. WC

      Mm.

    5. JR

      I used to take kale and throw it in there with garlic and ginger and drink a smoothie every day.

    6. WC

      And then you left LA. [laughing]

    7. JR

      [laughing] No, I, I mean, I felt fine doing it. I never got kidney stones or anything like that, but then I, I started reading about oxalates, and then I had a bunch of people on that told me that you can get ki- kidney stones, and I did actually get my blood work done, and it was high in oxalates.

    8. WC

      Mm.

    9. JR

      But also that's from almonds. I eat a lot of... I used to eat-

    10. WC

      Mm

    11. JR

      ... a lot of almonds.

    12. WC

      Mm.

    13. JR

      "Lectins, grains, beans, nuts," there it is, "promote leaky gut, autoimmunity, and general gut irritation. Uh, phytates," what is that? Uh, "Phytic acid, grains, legumes, and nuts, criticized for binding materials that, that, uh, and reducing their absorption. Tannins or other polyphenols described by some meat advocates as additional plant defenses that can inhibit nutrient absorption or act as pro-oxidants." But one of the things that I've heard from people that are pretty knowledgeable is that the issue might not be the actual plants itself, it might be pesticides.

    14. WC

      That's the other thing. That's the- they say the worst thing you can eat at a restaurant anywhere is salads because it's just covered in pesticides. Like, I am washing my fruit and vegetables more than I wash my own body.

    15. JR

      See if this is true, because I read this: that 100% of all California wines tested possi- tested positive for glyphosate.

    16. WC

      And in, out in Malibu, Raytheon, because there was a Raytheon plant.

    17. JR

      Oh, yeah.

    18. WC

      Uh-huh.

    19. JR

      Oh, yeah!... Yeah, r- yeah, there's-

    20. WC

      And cum, actually.

    21. JR

      Rocket Dime-

    22. WC

      Yeah, yeah, get r-

    23. JR

      Used to be in my neighborhood.

    24. WC

      Wild!

    25. JR

      Yeah, I wonder if I got juiced up. [chuckles]

    26. WC

      Remember when I went out and- before I had a kid, and I was just j- fighting people over rescuing giraffes, I had an instinct to mother, and I was just mothering everything except an actual baby, uh, including giraffes. And the wine that was made up there at that place, Malibu Safari, tested positive for Raytheon, and people were getting sick.

    27. JR

      For Raytheon?

    28. WC

      Uh-huh.

    29. JR

      Well, how do you test positive for Raytheon?

    30. WC

      Like, the Ray-

  4. 45:001:00:00

    Mm-hmm…

    1. JR

      historians argue that this sustained demand contributed to local or regional disappearances, especially when combined with hunting, habitat loss, and warfare." Well, that... Like, just what they did in America with market hunting-

    2. WC

      Mm-hmm

    3. JR

      ... they almost wiped out everything-

    4. WC

      Yeah

    5. JR

      ... in, uh, America because no one had ice, right?

    6. WC

      Mm-hmm.

    7. JR

      So you had to get meat every day. So they wiped out almost all deer.

    8. WC

      Mm.

    9. JR

      They wiped out elk from... Elk used to be in all 50 states, and now-

    10. WC

      Wow

    11. JR

      ... they're only in a few. They wiped out almost all of them.

    12. WC

      And this is fascinating to me, the- just the Roman Colosseum thing, because I think that my brain always goes, whenever it's like, "Can you believe people in the comments are trashing Sabrina Carpenter," or whatever, it's like, yeah, people used to go watch, you know, people have their limbs torn apart by-

    13. JR

      Yeah

    14. WC

      ... lions and sit there and, like, cheer and suggest... They would yell out how to kill people, like, that, you know-

    15. JR

      Oh, yeah.

    16. WC

      They would go watch at the town square people get hanged. Like, this is right on time.

    17. JR

      They'd watch people have sword fights.

    18. WC

      This is the most humane version of publicly shaming people we've done thus far. [laughing] [chuckles] It's just like, "You suck!" Like, that's like the most-

    19. JR

      Right, it just hurts your feelings.

    20. WC

      Yeah.

    21. JR

      Right, and it only hurts your feelings if you read it.

    22. WC

      But I also don't think anyone has only made a comment on Joe Rogan's or only on mine. I don't think it's, like, just personal.

    23. JR

      Well, there's probably one schizophrenic person that just concentrates on you.

    24. WC

      Yeah. Oh, no, I have many of those. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.

    25. JR

      But there, there's- most people are just-

    26. WC

      But I don't think they're normal-

    27. JR

      They're doing what they're negative

    28. WC

      ... with everyone else-

    29. JR

      Right

    30. WC

      ... and then, you know.

  5. 1:00:001:15:00

    Mm.…

    1. JR

      I mean, if you watch the documentary, first day working, they threw a guy out a building and killed him, and he was like, "Shut the fuck up." Like, "You know, you know what you saw. Now, you didn't see shit, right?"

    2. WC

      Mm.

    3. JR

      And you're like, "Yeah, I didn't see shit." Like, they killed a guy on his first day on the job, and he's like, "Okay, this is, this is, I guess, what we do."

    4. WC

      Yep.

    5. JR

      And so he was selling drugs, robbing drug dealers, and showed up at work with a Corvette, and a [laughing] brand-new badass Corvette.

    6. WC

      Keep the Corvette-

    7. JR

      [laughing]

    8. WC

      ... under a blanket and just drive a Honda to work. Like, how- [chuckles] like you could've gotten away with this forever.

    9. JR

      Get an old pickup truck, stupid.

    10. WC

      Yeah, like [laughing] I love that shit, dude.

    11. JR

      Dude-

    12. WC

      I fucking love it so much

    13. JR

      ... this guy shows up at his fucking daycare in a Rolls-Royce. [laughing]

    14. WC

      It was like the Wild Wild Country guy. He could've got away with that forever, but it was like the '56, like, bedazzled Rolls-Royce. Everyone was like-

    15. JR

      Oh, he had a ton of them

    16. WC

      ... "I don't know, man." Yeah.

    17. JR

      Yeah, he had a bunch of Rolls-Royces. [chuckles]

    18. WC

      "But God told me I should have these." Like, huh? I, I don't know.

    19. JR

      But the people-

    20. WC

      Yeah. [chuckles]

    21. JR

      ... are retarded.

    22. WC

      [laughing]

    23. JR

      That is one of the greatest things ever: "By the people, for the people," and the pause.

    24. WC

      Dude.

    25. JR

      "But the people are retarded."

    26. WC

      Tough titties.

    27. JR

      [chuckles] So, so it's for the retarded, but... So look at this, 42.1 million. This is the guy.

    28. WC

      He's trying to cover the car with his body?

    29. JR

      Well, let's s- pu- pull back, and let's, let's hear what he says in the beginning of this, 'cause-

    30. WC

      I mean, with all that money, maybe buy some Ozempic too, homie.

  6. 1:15:001:30:00

    How many Bitcoin did California travelers [chuckles]…

    1. JR

      million in their luggage in 2024. [chuckles] That's a lot of money! Okay, let's find this out. So Minnesota travelers alone had $342.37 million in their luggage in 2024. So let's put into Perplexity: How much money did California travelers have in their luggage in 2024?

    2. WC

      How many Bitcoin did California travelers [chuckles] have in their assholes?

    3. JR

      California travelers have in their luggage in 2024.

    4. WC

      But who puts that-

    5. JR

      At the TSA. At TSA.

    6. WC

      But does anyone ever measure your, uh, money when you go through or count it?

    7. JR

      No.

    8. SP

      You're supposed to declare, I think, if you have more than 10 grand.

    9. WC

      But we lie.

    10. JR

      Right.

    11. WC

      Everyone lies.

    12. SP

      I know, I know, I know. But that's what-

    13. JR

      That's true

    14. SP

      ... that's what they said, but these were all, you know, they were flagged correctly.

    15. WC

      But if I went through with, with $1,000, they never would know, or is it-

    16. JR

      So the amount cannot be determined from available data. TSA and regulated agencies track only limited categories, such as unclaimed money at checkpoints or certain cash seizures.

    17. WC

      Mm.

    18. JR

      And these figures are nationwide rather than specific to California travelers or all money carried in their luggage. Okay.

    19. WC

      Hmm.

    20. JR

      So how do they know that about Minnesota then?

    21. WC

      That's right.

    22. SP

      It's coming from one source, and that's why I was like, "Why did they only tell one source?"

    23. JR

      Right.

    24. SP

      Why wouldn't they have told all the... Like, why wouldn't they call Fox? Why wouldn't they call-

    25. JR

      Right

    26. SP

      ... CNN? Why wouldn't they tell everybody?

    27. JR

      Also, it's this one-

    28. WC

      Mm

    29. JR

      ... very right-leaning website, right? It's appears right-leaning.

    30. WC

      How do they ascertain cash someone's carrying through a... I mean, what the heck?

  7. 1:30:001:45:00

    Mm-hmm.…

    1. WC

      of cra- we saw the orca kill the trainer, you know?

    2. JR

      Mm-hmm.

    3. WC

      But stuff like that happens so often, and they just cover it up.

    4. JR

      Sure.

    5. WC

      But the amount of, of carriage horses, a couple of them got out. Um, and we've seen them get out, and we've seen them collapse, and all this horrific stuff. And, um, something else is going on with it, which is... And look, I'm, [chuckles] I'm the first person to say, like, New York was really safe when the mafia was, [laughing] you know, kind of like there's that documentary about how they would sort of protect people in the subways, and sort of would fill in where the government couldn't. Um, but there's something going on with the horse carriage business. A horse got out, who was 29 years old. Archie was his name.

    6. JR

      29-

    7. WC

      29

    8. JR

      ... years old for a horse.

    9. WC

      Yeah. Yeah, it only had a couple more years. And I tried to negotiate with them, got a bunch of friends that have, like, FU money, and basically said: "You're gonna get $38,000 cash." This was a horse that's pretty much done.

    10. JR

      Right.

    11. WC

      "Cash. We'll take the horse in the middle of the night. No social media, nothing." And they said no. The amount of money they're making is so insane, and it's mostly-

    12. JR

      From horse-drawn carriages?

    13. WC

      It's mostly tourists, honestly, from-

    14. JR

      They make that much money from horse-drawn carriages?

    15. WC

      Tons. Tons. From other countries, of people that have different ideas of animal, uh, respect towards animals than we do.

    16. JR

      Oh, so it's mostly foreigners riding in the horse-drawn carriages?

    17. WC

      Yeah, I don't think it's-

    18. JR

      I've seen a lot of white people in those things.

    19. WC

      Oh, really? Well-

    20. JR

      Yeah

    21. WC

      ... Polish people can be white.

    22. JR

      A lot of silly-

    23. WC

      Russian, white, whatever

    24. JR

      ... goofy fucks.

    25. WC

      Yeah, they may be that.

    26. JR

      Drunk.

    27. WC

      Yeah, fair.

    28. JR

      "Oh, we're in a horse. It's so romantic. We're out in the, the air and-

    29. WC

      Do [chuckles] -

    30. JR

      Clop, clip-clop, clip-clop, clip-clop.

  8. 1:45:002:00:00

    She was released from Rikers on May…

    1. WC

      just like-

    2. JR

      She was released from Rikers on May 3rd. Since then, she's been charged with at least two more thefts, including one in which she allegedly snuck into a Columbia University building and slugged a security guard. [chuckles] She's a villain. [laughing]

    3. WC

      I love, like, a Christmas present marauder.

    4. JR

      Well, she was charged with stealing $416 worth of merchandise from a TJ Maxx on 6th Avenue.

    5. WC

      You can get a lot for that amount.

    6. JR

      Yeah.

    7. WC

      A TJ Maxx.

    8. JR

      Uh. [chuckles]

    9. WC

      That's, like, most of the store.

    10. JR

      She was busted again. Let me see her face. Let see if I can see cra- yep, crazy.

    11. WC

      Okay.

    12. JR

      Look at her eyebrows!

    13. WC

      Are those shaved, or her face-

    14. JR

      Look at your face

    15. WC

      ... Oh, babe.

    16. JR

      "Yeah, you got me."

    17. WC

      Oh, damn.

    18. JR

      "Whatever."

    19. WC

      Oh, damn.

    20. JR

      "Whatever." Uh, poor Robert. [chuckles]

    21. WC

      I mean, like, what i- like, if you're stealing Robert De Niro's Christmas presents-

    22. JR

      Because-

    23. WC

      ... like, what's she gonna do with an Oura Ring?

    24. JR

      Look at that. [chuckles] Just go, security guard patrolling the building around 6:30 PM spotted tools sitting near an open window that should have been locked shut, then found Aviles inside the building-

    25. WC

      So she used tools to-

    26. JR

      ... filling up her bag with various items, according to a criminal complaint. Yeah, she used tools, broke into the house. Bro, get a fucking dog. Get a Belgian Malinois dog.

    27. WC

      Oh, dude.

    28. JR

      Get a meat missile.

    29. WC

      People not having dogs, like, what are you doing, man? I don't know how to convince pe-... I mean, yeah, I never have problems like that. I leave all my doors unlocked.

    30. JR

      Well, I wouldn't do that.

  9. 2:00:002:13:03

    By the way, didn't we just go…

    1. JR

      Like, you probably think the doctor's calling you up 'cause, like, something's going on.

    2. WC

      By the way, didn't we just go on one? [laughing]

    3. JR

      [laughing] You just figured me out?

    4. WC

      Yeah, what was that?

    5. JR

      [laughing]

    6. WC

      Hold on, what's your definition of a date? [laughing] I thought, thought that's what that was.

    7. JR

      I thought we were a thing.

    8. WC

      We're together. [laughing]

    9. JR

      You've seen my pussy and my asshole.

    10. WC

      You've ha- [laughing]

    11. JR

      This is nuts.

    12. WC

      Yeah.

    13. JR

      I've been in the stirrups.

    14. WC

      You fingered me and have all my money, like-

    15. JR

      Jesus Christ.

    16. WC

      Uh, that is... W- I mean, it is interesting that today, for a guy to become a gynecologist, I know it was, like, the only way, you know, only men could be back in the day, but now for a guy to be like, "I'm in med school to be a gynecologist." [chuckles]

    17. JR

      Yeah, everybody's like, "What?"

    18. WC

      What? [laughing] Like, huh?

    19. JR

      Right, like, if I was a woman, I would never go to a male gynecologist.

    20. WC

      I'm good.

    21. JR

      That's crazy.

    22. WC

      No.

    23. JR

      Just the id- if he's heterosexual-

    24. WC

      Mm-hmm

    25. JR

      ... and he's staring at your cooter and thinking about sliding up in there.

    26. WC

      Or the opposite.

    27. JR

      Ugh.

    28. WC

      Or if he, like, doesn't care, you're like, "How, why are you not looking?" It's like, you know-

    29. JR

      Yeah, I'm not excited.

    30. WC

      Yeah, why'd you put gloves on?
