Billy the 'kid' memorial tattoo and absurd goat tragedy
- SPSpeaker
Joe Rogan Podcast, check it out.
- JRJoe Rogan
The Joe Rogan Experience.
- SPSpeaker
Train by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night. All day. [upbeat music]
- JRJoe Rogan
[laughs] Dimitry was here when Donald Trump was here.
- SPSpeaker
Wow, that made my day.
- JRJoe Rogan
It was important. Doesn't matter what side.
- SPSpeaker
It doesn't?
- JRJoe Rogan
No.
- SPSpeaker
There we go.
- JRJoe Rogan
Um-
- SPSpeaker
Wow, these are nice.
- JRJoe Rogan
Dimitry the Snake.
- SPSpeaker
Yeah, tapeworm.
- JRJoe Rogan
There he is. Oh, that's right.
- SPSpeaker
Tapeworm, yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
What's going on with your face? What are you doing?
- SPSpeaker
Ah. This is a tight one for me today, guy.
- JRJoe Rogan
[laughs]
- SPSpeaker
Wha- [laughs] I'm feeling ripe.
- JRJoe Rogan
What is that?
- SPSpeaker
It's a-
- JRJoe Rogan
What does that say? It says Betty?
- SPSpeaker
Billy.
- JRJoe Rogan
Billy. Oh, B-I-
- SPSpeaker
L-L-Y.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, okay.
- SPSpeaker
It's a, uh, whew. It's a memorial tattoo. I don't know if you knew this or not, but, uh, whew, my, uh, my kid got hit by a truck.
- JRJoe Rogan
When did you have a kid?
- SPSpeaker
About two years ago. I haven't told anyone. I was ashamed. It was a one-night stand. Kid. [smacks lips]
- JRJoe Rogan
Is it a human kid?
- 3:54 – 7:02
Goat tacos, cockfights, and the leap to political leadership by dominance
- JRJoe Rogan
Sure. First time I ever had it was in LA at a Mexican spot. They sell, they were selling goat tacos. They were delicious.
- SPSpeaker
Oh my God.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, and then I had a, a neighbor, well, not a neighbor, he was a landscaper, that was a friend of mine, that would, uh, he would fight chickens. They'd do chicken fights.
- SPSpeaker
Cockfights.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- SPSpeaker
Yeah, I've had those.
- JRJoe Rogan
Trying to be polite, cleaning up for the viewers.
- SPSpeaker
Well-
- JRJoe Rogan
Chicken, chicken fights
- SPSpeaker
... cock is kind of the technical name.
- JRJoe Rogan
Seems wrong.
- SPSpeaker
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
When you're saying it.
- SPSpeaker
Have you ever...
- JRJoe Rogan
I don't like how you're saying it. But anyway, they would roast a goat, he told me, uh, whenever they would do a co- cockfight.
- SPSpeaker
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Feel better? Feel better?
- SPSpeaker
Well, it's not for me.
- JRJoe Rogan
Is that better?
- SPSpeaker
It's for-
- JRJoe Rogan
For the culture.
- SPSpeaker
For the... Yeah, at the end, I mean, it is what it is.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. So in other words, I don't-
- SPSpeaker
A pit bull fights a pit bull fight
- JRJoe Rogan
... actually, I wonder how you say it in Spanish, 'cause he, he-
- SPSpeaker
El coco
- JRJoe Rogan
... so anyway, he lived in this neighborhood, you would swear to God that it was Mexico. It was crazy. Like, every sign was in Spanish, all the people were Spanish, and there was roosters everywhere. You just, on his street, you would hear [imitates rooster crowing] like, all day long. It was like, it was crazy. And so he had this friend of mine-
- SPSpeaker
Yeah
- JRJoe Rogan
... a friend of his, rather. Uh, he went to his, the, we went to the backyard, and in the backyard, there's just stacks and stacks of rooster cages. They had so many roosters, and they had these prize roosters, and they had a whole pit. So they had a thing, it was almost like a barn-looking area.
- SPSpeaker
Right.
- 7:02 – 11:24
Bring back duels: historical political violence and consequences
- JRJoe Rogan
And the, everyone wants to kill you. Like, who the fuck would want to be president? This is why voting for president is a real problem.
- SPSpeaker
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Like, in 2028 everybody's like, "Who's gonna win in 2028? Who's gonna win?" Who's gonna run? Who wants-
- SPSpeaker
Yeah
- JRJoe Rogan
... that fucking job? What normal, healthy person wants that job, where at least half the country's gonna fucking hate you, and the people that you got in, that got you in, like, they're not gonna be happy-
- SPSpeaker
Yeah
- JRJoe Rogan
... 'cause you're never gonna be able to do what you're saying you wanna do. It's not even possible. What'd you just put up, Jim?
- SPSpeaker
Uh, I was gonna say, do you think they could start dueling again like they did in the [laughs] 17 and 1800s?
- JRJoe Rogan
No, they used to duel.
- SPSpeaker
Oh.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- SPSpeaker
A duel, yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Many periods of history. According to Perplexity, our AR sponsor, politicians fought literally with fists, canes, swords, and pistols-
- SPSpeaker
[laughs]
- JRJoe Rogan
... and some famous ones were killed or badly injured in these clashes. 1700s to 1800s, dueling was a common way for gentlemen and politicians to defend their honor in Europe and the United States. That would be sick if congressmen, you know, if, like, on... They start screaming and yelling at each other like they always do.
- SPSpeaker
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
"I challenge you to a duel."
- SPSpeaker
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
And everyone's like, "Oh, let's fucking go." [clapping]
- SPSpeaker
Yeah, yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
And they go out on the White House lawn.
- SPSpeaker
Andrew Jackson killed Charles Dickinson?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- SPSpeaker
The author?
- JRJoe Rogan
And was wounded himself.
- SPSpeaker
That's not the author, is it?
- JRJoe Rogan
No, no, no, no, no.
- SPSpeaker
Okay.
- SPSpeaker
I mean, that's-
- JRJoe Rogan
That's Dickens. That's Dickens.
- 11:24 – 14:41
UFC on the White House lawn and the Iran war debate
- JRJoe Rogan
There's gonna be a UFC on the White House lawn.
- SPSpeaker
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
That seems like a good, safe place to be, huh? Everyone's gonna know where all the world leaders are gonna be.
- SPSpeaker
[laughs]
- JRJoe Rogan
We're all gonna be stuck-
- SPSpeaker
Yeah
- JRJoe Rogan
... sitting in that spot for six hours, calling fights.
- SPSpeaker
Yes. You're gonna be there, right?
- JRJoe Rogan
Super safe.
- SPSpeaker
You're gonna-
- JRJoe Rogan
I feel completely safe.
- SPSpeaker
[laughs] You're gonna be there, right?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. Oh, I'm gonna be there.
- SPSpeaker
Do you, do you like the concept of it or no?
- JRJoe Rogan
I do not like it, no.
- SPSpeaker
How come, guy?
- JRJoe Rogan
Because it's outside, and I think world-
- SPSpeaker
Oh
- JRJoe Rogan
... championship fights should be in a controlled environment-
- SPSpeaker
Yeah
- JRJoe Rogan
... because out of respect for the athletes and how difficult it is to compete professionally in a world title. However-
- SPSpeaker
Yeah
- JRJoe Rogan
... I should say, however, it's gonna be a spectacle. Whether I was there or not, I would be watching 100%.
- SPSpeaker
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
It's, uh... I think it's awesome that Trump... This is one of the things that I like about him.
- SPSpeaker
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
He's like, "Fuck it. Let's do it."
- SPSpeaker
Yeah, yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
He, he puts on-... cage fights on the White House lawn.
- SPSpeaker
Yeah.
- 14:41 – 21:28
Trident submarine deterrence and life beneath the surface (jerking off, women, and poop)
- SPSpeaker
I don't think we're ever under-armed when we have our Triton submarine force lurking in the oceans 24/7 and nobody knows they're there, even members of American military.
- JRJoe Rogan
What do you know? How do you know this?
- SPSpeaker
Oh, I know things, guy.
- JRJoe Rogan
Who, did Billy tell you this?
- SPSpeaker
Billy? [laughs] Billy's dead.
- JRJoe Rogan
[laughs]
- SPSpeaker
Billy-
- JRJoe Rogan
Wait a minute. Do you know something about these Triton submarines for real?
- SPSpeaker
I sure do.
- JRJoe Rogan
What do you know?
- SPSpeaker
Well, they're, they're s- they're circumnavigating our oceans 24/7.
- JRJoe Rogan
How many are there?
- SPSpeaker
I think there's a fleet of 12 to 24. I think it's closer to 12, but these things can stay underwater for up to a year, and most members of our American government don't even know they're there.
- JRJoe Rogan
Wow.
- SPSpeaker
They don't know where they are.
- JRJoe Rogan
How much underwater jerking off is going on right now?
- SPSpeaker
Well, think about it. One Triton submarine, Trident submarine-
- JRJoe Rogan
Has how many guys on it?
- SPSpeaker
I don't know how many guys, but it has something like 24 nuclear warheads-
- JRJoe Rogan
And how many guys jerking off?
- SPSpeaker
... and each warhead has 24 that break off. So one of these submarines could take out half the world, and we've got them going all the time. So whenever you're afraid of any little hot spot in the world, just remember that we have this going on in the ocean. A lot of people don't know about it.
- JRJoe Rogan
I like you say this we shit when you're Canadian.
- SPSpeaker
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Interesting.
- SPSpeaker
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
When the shit hits the fan, Canadians like to pretend they're Americans. Gotta like it.
- SPSpeaker
[laughs] I'm just not worried.
- JRJoe Rogan
[laughs]
- SPSpeaker
Like, I'm not worried about America ever being vulnerable. It's, it's an area, it's, it's the, a nautical force that you don't really hear about, but if you were to look it up, there's this, there's this force out there that could take out the world.
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, Jamie just looked it up.
- 21:28 – 24:06
Underwater UFO bases, transmedium crafts, and the Mariana Trench logic puzzle
- JRJoe Rogan
Maybe that's why the aliens are under the water. Maybe they're the ones that survived-
- SPSpeaker
You believe that?
- JRJoe Rogan
... the apocalypse.
- SPSpeaker
Yeah, I don't know about the aliens under the water.
- JRJoe Rogan
Congressman Tim Burchett was on this podcast.
- SPSpeaker
Well, what does he know?
- JRJoe Rogan
And he said that there are three... Did he say three bases or five?
- SPSpeaker
I don't remember.
- SPSpeaker
When your last name's Bullshit, how, how-
- JRJoe Rogan
No, no, no.
- SPSpeaker
What is it?
- JRJoe Rogan
It's Burchett.
- SPSpeaker
Oh, Burchett.
- JRJoe Rogan
It's Burchett.
- SPSpeaker
I'm sorry.
- JRJoe Rogan
He's a very honest man.
- SPSpeaker
So what did he say?
- JRJoe Rogan
He said that there's these three loca- I think it's three. See, three or five, I can't remember which one he said.
- SPSpeaker
Hang on, let me tell you. Boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop.
- JRJoe Rogan
[laughs]
- SPSpeaker
[laughs]
- SPSpeaker
Five.
- JRJoe Rogan
[laughs] So he said there's these spots under the o- ocean-
- SPSpeaker
Yeah
- JRJoe Rogan
... where regularly they have these events where things come out of the ocean.
- SPSpeaker
When you say things, are we talking giant squid? Are we talking extraterrestrial?
- JRJoe Rogan
They're talking crafts that move in a way that we can't right now. 500 miles an hour under the water. They're transmedia, meaning they can go above the ground and in the water with no, it doesn't seem like it's causing them any resistance.
- SPSpeaker
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Burchett there said there are five underwater bases.
- SPSpeaker
Wow.
- 24:06 – 26:22
Spielberg’s ‘Disclosure Day’ clip, nail paranoia, and the aye-aye tangent
- SPSpeaker
Oh, wow.
- JRJoe Rogan
You scratch pe- you're gonna scratch me-
- SPSpeaker
He's a nose picker
- JRJoe Rogan
... with those nails.
- SPSpeaker
Some people keep them long to get boogers.
- JRJoe Rogan
Is that what you do, Sean?
- SPSpeaker
Spiel- Spielberg probably likes to pull out a, crank out a greenie.
- JRJoe Rogan
Boy.
- SPSpeaker
[laughs] Yeah. Picture Spielberg laying in bed at night just cranking out a greenie and eating it.
- JRJoe Rogan
So he said that he believes that we are being v- visited much... [laughs] I don't think he does that. He's a respectable man.
- SPSpeaker
Look at those nails.
- JRJoe Rogan
He's son of a bitch.
- SPSpeaker
Those are booger-picking nails.
- JRJoe Rogan
No, he's just too busy to trim his nails.
- SPSpeaker
I don't know. He probably could have someone trim those-
- JRJoe Rogan
I don't think-
- SPSpeaker
... dirty booger nails.
- JRJoe Rogan
You think that's what they are?
- SPSpeaker
He looks like an aye-aye almost.
- JRJoe Rogan
What if we had like one long coke nail? What if we had like one long pinky nail?
- SPSpeaker
Like an aye-aye.
- JRJoe Rogan
Like a fucking coke nail, bro.
- SPSpeaker
You ever seen an aye-aye?
- JRJoe Rogan
It's like those dudes, they grow the pinky nail long to let everybody know they do coke.
- SPSpeaker
Pull up an aye-aye, Jamie.
- SPSpeaker
What is that?
- JRJoe Rogan
What does that mean?
- SPSpeaker
You'll see in a second, Dr. Coke Nail.
- JRJoe Rogan
How do you spell it? Jesus.
- SPSpeaker
A-Y-E A-Y-E.
- 26:22 – 38:33
‘Roger’ meaning, pirate eye patches, and arguing over trivia accuracy
- JRJoe Rogan
Let's find out if that's true.
- SPSpeaker
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
I was gonna-
- SPSpeaker
Find out-
- JRJoe Rogan
What, what is Roger, the term roger that, where does that come from?
- SPSpeaker
As I'm looking that up, do you know why pirates wear an eye patch?
- SPSpeaker
Yes.
- JRJoe Rogan
'Cause they cut their fucking eye off.
- SPSpeaker
No.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, so they could, uh, see better at distance?
- SPSpeaker
At night under the, under the ship 'cause it's dark.
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.
- SPSpeaker
Oh.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. The, it's, uh, for when, you know, light, when you get accustomed to darkness.
- SPSpeaker
Mm.
- JRJoe Rogan
The more you... But why does, why does having one eye closed... So do they put the patch over the other eye when they go under-
- SPSpeaker
Yeah
- JRJoe Rogan
... at night?
- SPSpeaker
You s- you switch.
- JRJoe Rogan
Whoa.
- SPSpeaker
They switch eyes.
- JRJoe Rogan
So they, they never have to get adjusted to the dark. Whoa, that's crazy.
- SPSpeaker
Yeah, it said Roger has to do with Morse code or-
- JRJoe Rogan
That is actually kind of amazing. What a smart move.
- SPSpeaker
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
You put one patch over your eye during the daytime and one patch at night-
- SPSpeaker
Mm-hmm
- JRJoe Rogan
... and you can always see. Huh.
- SPSpeaker
Yep.
- JRJoe Rogan
Originally stood for the letter R, which is used as shorthand for received in Morse code-
- 38:33 – 1:01:48
YouTube copyright claims, Joe’s shirt-off moment, and the fake ‘Garra rufa’ legs reveal
- SPSpeaker
Oh
- JRJoe Rogan
... you get dinged-
- SPSpeaker
Sing the melody
- JRJoe Rogan
... like, they, they-
- SPSpeaker
Oh, you can't sing? No.
- JRJoe Rogan
They take away your fucking advertising revenue if you hum a song.
- SPSpeaker
Ooh, okay.
- JRJoe Rogan
The, these dirty criminals.
- SPSpeaker
Wow.
- JRJoe Rogan
Hum.
- SPSpeaker
Hum.
- JRJoe Rogan
Hum a song. You dirty scumbags.
- SPSpeaker
Really?
- JRJoe Rogan
Trying to steal advertising money.
- SPSpeaker
What if we mess with them and hum a tune and sort of play name that tune with them, and if they can't-
- JRJoe Rogan
You know what they'll do? They'll fucking ding you.
- SPSpeaker
Even if they can't figure it out. Like, they've got to sit around the office and like-
- JRJoe Rogan
They'll pretend. They'll pretend, then you have to go to court
- SPSpeaker
... "Name that tune in seven notes." And I'm like, " [humming] allen."
- JRJoe Rogan
Don't do it. Don't do it.
- SPSpeaker
Do you know what I just did?
- JRJoe Rogan
You fucked us up. That's what you just did.
- SPSpeaker
Do you know what song that was?
- JRJoe Rogan
I don't care.
- SPSpeaker
[laughs] I do.
- JRJoe Rogan
What is it?
- SPSpeaker
[laughs] It was, uh, that Pink Floyd, uh, song.
- JRJoe Rogan
No, no, no. Don't, don't say that because then they'll get us.
- SPSpeaker
Yeah, but they don't know which one.
- JRJoe Rogan
Doesn't matter.
- 1:01:48 – 1:09:32
OnlyFans morality, dignity vs. money, and Joe’s approach to parenting
- SPSpeaker
Speaking of sex, have you been on this OnlyFans thing?
- JRJoe Rogan
Have I not?
- SPSpeaker
Have you gone on?
- JRJoe Rogan
No, I don't go on it.
- SPSpeaker
It's all I'm hearing about. You hear ... Right? All you hear about now-
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, yeah
- SPSpeaker
... is onlyfans.com.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yep. They do comedy shows.
- SPSpeaker
I finally go on this thing 'cause it's all I'm hearing about, onlyfans.com. I go on about a week ago, and I'm on there for about two hours, and it's just video after video after picture. And I'm on there s- so long my eyes are, like-
- JRJoe Rogan
Right
- SPSpeaker
... spinning. And finally, I stop the damn thing and I'm like, "Screw this. I already have central air conditioning. Why the hell am I looking at this site? I don't need a fan." I mean, good Lord.
- JRJoe Rogan
[clears throat] [laughs]
- SPSpeaker
I'll pull my legs out. I will pull my-
- JRJoe Rogan
What the fuck [laughs]
- SPSpeaker
... dirty, bronze legs out and wrap them-
- JRJoe Rogan
What the fuck is wrong with you? [laughs]
- SPSpeaker
... around your neck like a dirty anaconda.
- JRJoe Rogan
The fuck is wrong with you? Do you think if you're a woman you'd be doing OnlyFans?
- SPSpeaker
You know, it's an interesting question. It's a moral, moral dilemma, isn't it?
- JRJoe Rogan
Let's imagine if Harland was a female and Harland was 21 and just got here from Canada.
- SPSpeaker
With these legs?
- JRJoe Rogan
With those legs. And not a lot of ways-
- SPSpeaker
Oh, I'd be on
- JRJoe Rogan
... not a lot of ways to make a living, but you're cute.
- SPSpeaker
Desperate times call for desperate matters, Joe Rogan.
- JRJoe Rogan
Hmm.
- SPSpeaker
You know, it's, it's a dile- it's a serious question, and it's almost a sad one in today's world.
- JRJoe Rogan
It is.
- SPSpeaker
Because in the old days, you had your sex industry sort of confined to the shadows.
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm-hmm.
- 1:09:32 – 1:19:20
Harland’s pro-AI manifesto: democratized creativity, cheaper production, and UBI futures
- SPSpeaker
I love AI.
- JRJoe Rogan
Do you? You're all in?
- SPSpeaker
Yeah. I'm all in. I love it.
- JRJoe Rogan
What's your favorite part about it?
- SPSpeaker
I love it, Joe, because it's, it's opening a door to creativity for everybody. Now a lot of people are being pessimistic and saying it's taking away our creativity, but think about any art gallery you've ever been to. You go in, you see the Renoir, the Degas, the Dali, all the, all the usual suspects. Van Gogh, Goya, all of them, right?
- JRJoe Rogan
Right. Right.
- SPSpeaker
Those have all been placed there over the centuries as the art that we all know and have adopted, and that came from a select group of individuals, very talented, um, contributed to our culture and art history, but it's a pool of about maybe 200 artists through the course of history.
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.
- SPSpeaker
Now think about a guy you bumped into working in the sprinkler aisle at Home Depot three weeks ago who's got a wife and kids and maybe doesn't have the opportunity or the wherewithal to tap into his artistry. But now that guy and the guy at Dunkin' Donuts and the girl that works at the car wash and every human being now has a way to express their hidden talents. And so with AI, they can go home at the end of the night and press a few buttons and go, "I imagined this thing and AI is letting me get it out, and the world gets to see it." Same with medicine, same with inventions. How many Elon Musks are there that grew up in poverty and never got the chance to expand on a concept or an idea because they didn't have the means?
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm.
- SPSpeaker
But if AI starts to open these doors for every human being, think of the barrage of incredible visual and conceptual designs that are gonna come at us, and a lot of them will probably be practical and actually work. And the common man and woman didn't have access to that before.
- JRJoe Rogan
That's one way of looking at it.
- SPSpeaker
I love it.
- JRJoe Rogan
That's super positive.
- SPSpeaker
I love it.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. That's true.
- SPSpeaker
Example in my own life, I come from the animation world, and I like to write. And a few years back I pitched an animation idea around Hollywood and it got rejected. And so now me and a few of my friends in the dawn of AI are creating the same thing that got rejected and we're gonna put it out into the world. We couldn't have done it two, three years ago. It would've cost us $3 million. Now we're doing it for a few thousand.
- JRJoe Rogan
That, that is incredible.
- SPSpeaker
And it looks like a Pixar movie.
- JRJoe Rogan
That is incredible.
- SPSpeaker
It looks like Pixar. So if you tell me that AI isn't opening a whole new world, it, it, it, it's not true. It is. It's letting all of us dig really deep and expose our gifts and our talents. And yeah, there's always the downside, but let's try and look at the good side of it too.
- JRJoe Rogan
I like what you're saying.
- SPSpeaker
Thank you, Joe.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. Um, the, the downside is the people that don't want to be creative and they wanna be accountants or they wanna be lawyers or they wanna ... Like, those jobs are gonna go away.
- SPSpeaker
Stop.
- JRJoe Rogan
Stop?
- SPSpeaker
How about that accountant's an accountant because he could never tap into the artistry that hides within him-
- JRJoe Rogan
Perhaps
- SPSpeaker
... or the lawyer.
- JRJoe Rogan
Perhaps.
- 1:19:20 – 1:38:39
Simulation vs. ‘program’ reality: DMT laser code, cosmic mechanics, and Mars anomalies
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, then there's the question is, has that already happened? Are we in a simulation right now?
- SPSpeaker
Oh, yeah. I think we talked about this last time.
- JRJoe Rogan
A lot of people think we are.
- SPSpeaker
I don't believe so.
- JRJoe Rogan
A lot of people smarter than me.
- SPSpeaker
But can I take you back a second?
- JRJoe Rogan
Take me back to the old days.
- SPSpeaker
Exactly. Picture Pioneer Village, Betty O'Connor churning some butter down by the blacksmith's shop.
- JRJoe Rogan
[whistles]
- SPSpeaker
Kyle McGivens shaving timbers to build a log cabin.
- JRJoe Rogan
Ah, Amish.
- SPSpeaker
Do you think that those people who were in covered wagons and were us, just the old version of us, do you think they ever pulled the covered wagon to the side of the trail and went, "Hey, Jedediah, do you think we're in a simulation?" Like, I think we've created this simulation talk because we do have all this computer and, you know, we're in this world now that, that's full of contraptions.
- JRJoe Rogan
Okay, let me ask you-
- SPSpeaker
But I don't think we're, we're, we're in a simulation. But I- Go ahead.
- JRJoe Rogan
Are you sure the pioneer days even really happened?
- SPSpeaker
Even happened? Wow, you got me, you son of a whore.
- JRJoe Rogan
You don't know.
- SPSpeaker
And I'm walking off the show.
- JRJoe Rogan
Wow.
- SPSpeaker
I'm walking off the show.
- JRJoe Rogan
[laughs]
- SPSpeaker
Fuck you. And this isn't a simulation.
- JRJoe Rogan
Take those big rubber legs and get the fuck out of here. [laughs]
- SPSpeaker
[laughs] The only guy to walk off your show with fake legs.
- JRJoe Rogan
[laughs] I mean, if you think about it-
- SPSpeaker
[laughs]
- JRJoe Rogan
... we think that the pioneer days happened. We can go to the museum and we can see-
- SPSpeaker
[laughs]
- JRJoe Rogan
... pioneer day wheels and-
- SPSpeaker
What about the butter churning, Joe?
- 1:38:39 – 2:00:03
Genetic engineering ethics: Soviet human-ape experiments, CRISPR timelines, and ‘dire wolves’
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, what if they created us?
- SPSpeaker
They created us as primates and watched us evolve as an experiment?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. What if you ... Like, let's imagine this. We talked about, like-
- SPSpeaker
Okay
- JRJoe Rogan
... if we, if we showed up and we went, found a planet, and it was filled with, like, ancient primates.
- SPSpeaker
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
These ancient hairy men that had just figured out stone tools.
- SPSpeaker
Okay.
- JRJoe Rogan
Let's go to-
- SPSpeaker
I'm with you
- JRJoe Rogan
... the early days.
- SPSpeaker
I'm with you. I'm right there, guy.
- JRJoe Rogan
Do you think ... Let's n- not say American scientists. We would never do this. But do you think perhaps, like, Chinese or Russian scientists might do some things with them and try to make them more advanced?
- SPSpeaker
In terms of biological experimentation?
- JRJoe Rogan
Engineering, genetic engineering.
- SPSpeaker
I don't know. I ... Be- I mean-
- JRJoe Rogan
I will answer for you. Yes.
- SPSpeaker
You think they would?
- JRJoe Rogan
100%, for sure. They're just cave people. They don't even have any civilization. We, let's, let's just do whatever we want to them because we're far more advanced. Do you know that there was a point in time where the Russians were experimenting with people and trying to make a human-chimpanzee hybrid for war?
- SPSpeaker
Is that right?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- SPSpeaker
Wow.
- JRJoe Rogan
This is after World War II. They were trying to make hybrids. So, so many Russians died during World War II. I mean, W- Russia lost a lot of fucking people-
- SPSpeaker
Yeah, they did
- JRJoe Rogan
... during World War II. And there was a program that, that ... Like, they do a lot of things where they, they just run it up the chain. Like, "What do you think?"
- SPSpeaker
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
"What if we do this? What if we do that? You know, what if we make a nuclear bomb? What if we make a, a plane that doesn't have any radar signal? What if we make, instead of our soldiers dying, what if we make a hybrid just for war? We know chimpanzees are incredibly strong, and they're smart, and they're very violent. So what if we made an incredibly strong, very violent species that's more intelligent than chimpanzees, and we can control them, and we'll use them as our soldiers?"
- SPSpeaker
But that seems like a lot of work for something that's hiding behind a, a, a modern weapon. Because whether you have a, a, an insane chimpanzee behind a machine gun or a guy that was an accountant and got drafted, it seems like the weapon's doing the work-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah
- SPSpeaker
... not the biological entity.

Wolves, rewilding, and ‘Team People’ vs. ‘Team Animal’ philosophical clash
- SPSpeaker
They're, they're protective. They're n- they're no longer hunting. But I'm just saying that there's an element to, sadly, our human existence that scares a lot of critters. A lo- most animals can exist together in the same area. And yeah, when a, when an apex predator approaches, the zebras will run. But if you look at the hoofed animals and the hippos and the ... Everything kind of coexists, but when a human walks in, you know, we can't walk up to critters and just pet them. You can in the Galapagos.
- JRJoe Rogan
Okay.
- SPSpeaker
Are we-
- JRJoe Rogan
No
- SPSpeaker
... are we having a fight?
- JRJoe Rogan
No, but a lion-
- SPSpeaker
Are we having a fight?
- JRJoe Rogan
... can't walk up to a gazelle-
- SPSpeaker
I'll take my shirt off
- JRJoe Rogan
... and pet him either
- SPSpeaker
... I'll wrap my legs around you so fast.
- JRJoe Rogan
It's not uniquely humans, man. It's all animals are worried about something that wants to eat them-
- SPSpeaker
Right
- JRJoe Rogan
... because that's a real part of their existence.
- SPSpeaker
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
It's all animals. If you let your dog loose and you let it around wild animals, they fucking run like crazy, man. They run way more than they do with a person.
- SPSpeaker
Let me rephrase it. If a wild animal comes up on a deer, a predator-prey scenario-
- JRJoe Rogan
Uh-huh
- SPSpeaker
... instinctually they know a predator goes into stalking mode, the deer's gone.
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.
- SPSpeaker
But if a human, me or you, go, "Oh, look at the deer," and we try to walk towards it with nothing but love and affection, and we just wanna pet it, and it's gone. And that's what I'm saying.
- JRJoe Rogan
You're not saying shit, because a dog-
- SPSpeaker
[laughs]
- JRJoe Rogan
... the same thing would happen. You're not making any sense.
- SPSpeaker
Yes.
- JRJoe Rogan
Of course the p- deer doesn't want you to pet him. It doesn't fucking know you, man. What are you, nuts?
- SPSpeaker
Right, but it j- they just, they just flee.
- JRJoe Rogan
They don't flee like they do with dogs.
- SPSpeaker
Everything flees us, a squirrel-
- JRJoe Rogan
I have sq- I have deer in my neighborhood, and when they see me, they don't give a fuck. They don't care about your car. You're, you're driving in a car. You could stop the car and roll the window down and go, "Hello, Mr. Deer" -

Kill Tony boost, making comedy movies again, sitcom nostalgia, roasts vs. ‘woke,’ and wrap-up plugs
- JRJoe Rogan
You too, buddy. It's nice to see Kil Tourney, like-... make a completely different career arc for all these people
- SPSpeaker
How?
- JRJoe Rogan
And you're one of them.
- SPSpeaker
[laughs] Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
You know?
- SPSpeaker
It's, it's, it's, it's-
- JRJoe Rogan
It's fucking taking you to the stratosphere
- SPSpeaker
[laughs]
- JRJoe Rogan
It's wild to watch
- SPSpeaker
It's sort of ... It's, it's, it's shone a new light on my career. Yeah. It's sort of-
- JRJoe Rogan
Completely
- SPSpeaker
... revitalized it a bit. Yeah
- JRJoe Rogan
You, uh, Rob Schneider-
- SPSpeaker
Yeah
- JRJoe Rogan
... Carrot Top. I mean, there's d- the list goes on and on.
- SPSpeaker
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
There's Kyle Dunnigan. There's so many-
- SPSpeaker
Yeah
- JRJoe Rogan
... people that-
- SPSpeaker
Yeah
- JRJoe Rogan
... it just fucking launched them.
- SPSpeaker
It's so cool. When Tony asked me to do it, uh, two years ago, I'll be honest, I didn't even know what it was.
- JRJoe Rogan
That's hilarious.
- SPSpeaker
I didn't know who Tony was. I'd never met him. I knew nothing about it. I was doing your club, and they said, "Hey, we're shooting tomorrow. Would you wanna stay an extra day?" And I said, "For what?" They go, "To kill Tony." I said, "What is it?" And I went on-
- JRJoe Rogan
Really?
- SPSpeaker
I had no clue. I had no idea what it was.
- JRJoe Rogan
Are you not online at all?
- SPSpeaker
No. I didn't, I didn't know anything about that stuff.
- JRJoe Rogan
How do you stay offline?
- SPSpeaker
Well, I go online now, 'cause I started a podcast. I'm trying to emulate you, but you've been an inspiration. Thank you, by the way. But I didn't know about all that stuff. And so they asked me to go on, and I did my first set with Tony, and I think you watched it. It was the one where I had the checkbook.
