      Hey there. I just, I just... Hey, what's up, Joe?

   5. JRJoe Rogan0:15

      What's up, Brian? [laughs]

   6. BSBrian Simpson0:18

      Here to promote the new special.

   7. JRJoe Rogan0:19

      That's right.

   8. BSBrian Simpson0:20

      Or the old special that's new.

   9. JRJoe Rogan0:21

      The old special that is now available on YouTube as well.

   10. BSBrian Simpson0:23

       Now available on YouTube.

   11. JRJoe Rogan0:24

       Nice.

   12. BSBrian Simpson0:24

       Live from the mothership.

   13. JRJoe Rogan0:25

       Yeah.

   14. BSBrian Simpson0:26

       I'm here at the mothership.

   15. JRJoe Rogan0:27

       That has one of my all time favorite bits in it.

   16. BSBrian Simpson0:29

       What bit is that?

   17. JRJoe Rogan0:30

       WAP.

   18. BSBrian Simpson0:30

       Oh, yeah.

   19. JRJoe Rogan0:31

       [laughs]

   20. BSBrian Simpson0:33

       Yeah, that's a-

   21. JRJoe Rogan0:34

       That's one of my all time favorite bits, 'cause it's such, it's such a great arc, you know? It's got a lot of detail to it, and it, and then it comes back around.

   22. BSBrian Simpson0:44

       Oh, yeah. I'll probably never write anything better than that.

   23. JRJoe Rogan0:46

       Oh, it's a great bit. You will. You will.

   24. BSBrian Simpson0:48

       [laughs]

   25. JRJoe Rogan0:48

       But it is an inspired piece of material.

   26. BSBrian Simpson0:51

       You know how sometimes you're haunted by a bit, where you're like-

   27. JRJoe Rogan0:53

       Oh, yeah

   28. BSBrian Simpson0:54

       ... and people, and every now and then somebody'll walk up to you and go, "You know my favorite joke of yours is?"

   29. JRJoe Rogan0:57

       Mm-hmm.

   30. BSBrian Simpson0:57

       And you're like, "Yep." [laughs]
3. 1:08 – 4:49

   Filming stand-up specials: pressure, multiple takes, and the torture of editing

   1. JRJoe Rogan1:08

      ... for sure, and it was really good. It's a great special, man. It's hard. It's hard to... A special never feels like it feels in the room, 'cause you're not in the audience, you're at home, so it's always like, even a great special is, like, 60 to 70% of what it feels like to be there.

   2. BSBrian Simpson1:23

      Oh, yeah.

   3. JRJoe Rogan1:23

      When you're there it's always better. But then it's hard to be relaxed, 'cause you know that there's fucking cameras on you, and you gotta nail this.

   4. BSBrian Simpson1:30

      You know the analogy I use is, like, it's the difference between watching porno and then watching those same two people have sex right in front of you.

   5. JRJoe Rogan1:39

      [laughs]

   6. BSBrian Simpson1:40

      You know? It's the exact same thing is happening.

   7. JRJoe Rogan1:42

      Right, right, right.

   8. BSBrian Simpson1:43

      But it's a, it's a different-

   9. JRJoe Rogan1:44

      It's way crazier if people are fucking right in front of you. Like, yo.

   10. BSBrian Simpson1:46

       Yeah, that's a whole different, it's a whole different vibe.

   11. JRJoe Rogan1:48

       Right.

   12. BSBrian Simpson1:49

       Yeah.

   13. JRJoe Rogan1:49

       Right. Yeah. It's, it's hard to get them down, you know? There's a lot of great comics that don't have a great special, and it's just, it's hard. It's hard to nail it.

   14. BSBrian Simpson1:59

       I mean, it's hard to nail it. It's hard to know when to make it happen. It's hard to be in the right mind frame.

   15. JRJoe Rogan2:06

       Mm-hmm. Yep. Yep, all those things.

   16. BSBrian Simpson2:08

       Yeah. But once you knock one out.

   17. JRJoe Rogan2:10

       Yeah. Once you knock one out, once you get a really good one... Z- if you're doing, I always like to film four, if possible, and then once you have one in the can, then you're free. Once you have one that's done, you're like, "All right. This is all a regular show now."

   18. BSBrian Simpson2:23

       Well, that's-

   19. JRJoe Rogan2:23

       "Now I can be free."

   20. BSBrian Simpson2:24

       Well, that's the advice you gave me before. I'm glad I did that, too. But it, but it, but what's funny is the first one was the one where you and the views.

   21. JRJoe Rogan2:31

       Because you're inspired, but also there's less pressure.

   22. BSBrian Simpson2:33

       Yeah, you know-

   23. JRJoe Rogan2:33

       You don't feel-

   24. BSBrian Simpson2:34

       ... you know you have more chances.

   25. JRJoe Rogan2:35

       Yes.

   26. BSBrian Simpson2:35

       Right, yeah.

   27. JRJoe Rogan2:36

       So you're free. You're free, you're inspired. It's just when you have to do one. Like, there's a lot of great specials, like Bill Hicks: Relentless, the one he did, uh, in London. God, it feels like he's tense. It doesn't feel, it doesn't feel, like, loose, like relaxed. It feels like he's very aware he's being filmed.

   28. BSBrian Simpson2:54

       Do you think he only shot the one?

   29. JRJoe Rogan2:56

       I think so.

   30. BSBrian Simpson2:56

       Oh.
4. 4:49 – 8:35

   CTE in the NFL: prevalence, sub-concussive hits, and neurological fallout

   1. BSBrian Simpson4:49

      ... something about this, uh, um, the CTE Foundation. They just r- they just released a study. They, basically, they, um, they got every NFL player that died between 2016 and 2021, it was like 800 of them or something like that, and they asked their families to donate their brains. And so they, the families donated about a quarter of, about a quarter of the families said yes. And, and, like, 90-plus percent of the brains had CTE.

   2. JRJoe Rogan5:23

      Yeah.

   3. BSBrian Simpson5:23

      So, so the best they can say for sure is that a l- um, a, about a quarter of, uh, all those NFL players have CTE. Because they, and it's, it's definitely more than that because that, that's all they gave them.

   4. JRJoe Rogan5:36

      Right, right.

   5. BSBrian Simpson5:36

      So.

   6. JRJoe Rogan5:36

      So, but out of the quarter, 90%.

   7. BSBrian Simpson5:39

      Over 90%. [sighs] Yeah, I, uh-

   8. JRJoe Rogan5:42

      They, you know, they've, they've found CTE in high school kids.

   9. BSBrian Simpson5:45

      Well, that's, yeah, that's, that's the next one that's coming up.

   10. JRJoe Rogan5:48

       High school. High school football, all the way up. High school, college.

   11. BSBrian Simpson5:53

       Can I, um, can I send it to you, Jamie?

   12. SPSpeaker5:55

       I got it.

   13. BSBrian Simpson5:56

       Oh.

   14. SPSpeaker5:56

       I got it 'cause Adam Schefter tweeted it and, like, [clears throat] worded it weirdly, and people got mad about that, but.

   15. BSBrian Simpson6:02

       Oh.

   16. JRJoe Rogan6:02

       Yeah, man, that's spooky. Sometimes I see, like, an old fighter on Twitter just screaming into the wind, and I'm like, "What is that guy going through?" Um... This was a study in the British Medical Journal that came out, like, this week or last week. What were we just looking at? We were just looking at something different. It was on ESPN. Oh, study, at least 25% of NFL players in sample had CTE. So 878 players, uh, that appeared in one, at least one NFL game and died in a six-year period, at least 25% had CTE. So this is, um, this study drew on samples donated between 2008 and 2021, 93% of which had been diagnosed with CTE. Then narrowed the sample based on when donations were highest and factored the demographic data and information from death certificates. The estimate of 25% is on the low end. Yeah. Said Dr. D- uh, Daniel Daneshvar, the study's lead author. The study found the maximum possible prevalence of CTE was around 97%, but the true rate is somewhere in the middle. Yeah. Fuck. That 3% is just the kickers. F- yeah, right? Mm-hmm. Right? [laughs] It's gotta be. Yeah, right? Like, everybody else is getting hit. There's no way. Who's that guy that got diagnosed with CTE? That was here? Yeah. Uh, he's, uh, it might... I, I don't know if he's current, but- So the thing is, these guys are getting diagnosed now while they're alive. And, and not just CTE, but, um, uh, uh, uh, is it MS? What, what did, uh, Chris, uh, what's C2K have? Chris Johnson, he was, uh- Oh, um... Is it MS, I think? It's the, the, uh, thing that people with Ice Bucket Challenge. ALS? ALS. Oh, Jesus. Like, so the- That's what Stephen Hawking had ... there's also a high prevalence of that. Oh, my God. A high prevalence of ALS. But again, makes sense. You're getting hit in the head all the time. All sorts of things are probably going haywire up there. Yeah. I mean, the amount of times these guys get hit. So everybody thinks about concussion, but sub-concussive head trauma is just as bad. What is sub-concussive? Where you don't get a concussion. Oh, you just get hit. You just get banged in the head. Oh. And you think you're okay 'cause you don't have a concussion, but you're still doing damage. Oh, yeah. I know. You know who gets CTE? Soccer players. Oh, man. From heading the ball. Oh, yeah, I bet. How crazy is that? Thousands and thousands and thousands of times. But you would never imagine that a rubber ball could hurt your brain. You would think, "Ah, it's

5. 8:35 – 12:30

   Public reactions to tragedy: empathy, blame, and the ‘Free Lindsay’ outrage

   1. JRJoe Rogan8:35

      fine. Boink, it doesn't even hurt." Do you know what sh- what's, what's, what's weird is that... What's weird is how okay it is to make fun of it. [laughs] You know what I mean? Of CTE? Yeah. Yeah, I know. It's become the n- it's become the new R-word. You know, where it's like p- it's like you can just say, you... Like, CTE is the punchline. Well, you know why? It's because it's brutish men, and nobody, like- Feels bad for brutish men? Yeah, nobody feels bad for brutish men. People always feel bad for women. That's why this lady killed her kids. Oh. And everyone's like, "Oh, my God, she needed help." [laughs] Imagine if a single father killed his kids. Do you think there'd be any dads out there, "We get it, we understand"? [laughs] Absolutely. "I also get sad." Bro, I said, I, I should put the joke out, but I said it on stage yesterday. But I, uh, but when, when I f- so I don't follow this news, so when I first heard it, so basically she sh- she strangled her three kids. Yeah. Right? And then she tried to kill herself. She cut her throat and her wrist, and then she jumped out the window. Didn't do a good job. Right. She, she failed. She ended up paralyzed. And I said, uh, and this is... I just said, "I feel like she doesn't have good problem-solving skills, because you- [laughs] ... you was three for three on the strangulation, and then when you tried to kill yourself, you using unproven methods." [laughs] You... Why would you, why, why not strangle yourself? You, you are definitely good at that. Yeah, hang yourself. Yeah. She... So I don't know if she really wanted to d- I don't know. She looks fucking crazy. I mean, you can't tell looking in someone's eyes, really. They're under stress. They're in court. They're gonna be going to jail for the rest of their life most likely. So there's a lot of stress, but boy, does she look crazy. Yeah. But, but when you're dealing with somebody that's out of it, you can tell. But she chased her son down. She, she- She chased him down to strangle him. He ran away from her. Did she say that? It's in the, it's in the case. Oh, man. You know, I think if those ladies could see the crime scene, and see those dead kids with their fucking vacant eyes staring up 'cause their mother took their life, the last fucking thing that they saw was their mother standing over them, choking them to death, I don't think they would feel so bad. I think everybody that's saying, "Free, free Lindsay," I don't- People are out of their fucking mind right now. If she get freed, they should have to let her babysit. The... Dude, she's- Let her watch their kids ... she's out of her fucking mind. The world is out of its fucking mind. It's like more of these things come up where you're like, "This can't be real. This can't be real," and it is real. More of these things where you're like, people are showing up in support of a woman who killed her children. I don't care how rough it was. The a- the ability to kill your children is crazy. That's, that's a level of crazy that anyone who has kids, you know how much you love them, what you would do to save them, what you'd do to protect them from harm. The idea that you can get to a point where you could strangle your kids and chase your s- make sure that's true, that she chased her son down. Pe- people- I'm pretty sure it's true ... people are, uh, are making up, like, conspiracies that it was actually the husband. You know? Th- like, that's how badly they want her to not be responsible, even though she's already admitted it. Well- Like, like- ... I think there's conspiracies about every fucking thing that's ever existed. There's so many morons out there with a hot take, including me. There's a lot of dumbasses that have terrible hot takes, so there's always a bunch of them. Not, not me. I'm pretty much always right. [laughs] I'm pretty much always on the money. [laughs] Did you take the COVID vaccine? The... Yeah, a few times. All right, then shut the fuck up. Oh, you think we, you th- you still don't believe in vaccines? Not that one. Oh, not that one. Okay. That one didn't do a goddamn thing. That one didn't do a goddamn thing. It didn't protect you from transmission, it didn't protect you from infection, and it o- opened you up to a, a host of different problems. Got me a long vacation, though. The... Yeah, I think we need another one

   2. BSBrian Simpson12:12

      We need another pandemic so we can-

   3. JRJoe Rogan12:14

      Gotcha

   4. BSBrian Simpson12:14

      ... I wanna stay in the house for six months

   5. JRJoe Rogan12:16

      Just stay in the house for six months. Look, if that's what you like to do, then just do it.

   6. BSBrian Simpson12:19

      Yeah, but I don't wanna feel guilty about it.

   7. JRJoe Rogan12:21

      Ah. So you'd rather... You're like Fauci. You wanna sacrifice-

   8. BSBrian Simpson12:25

      [laughs]

   9. JRJoe Rogan12:25

      ... the entire world for your own benefit. [laughs]

   10. BSBrian Simpson12:28

       Now, what did he get out of it, though?

6. 12:30 – 20:22

   COVID, Fauci, and gain-of-function: accusations, motives, and pardons

   1. JRJoe Rogan12:30

      A lot of s- a lot of fear right now. That's what he got. That guy doesn't sleep right now. You could see the look on his face when he had to testify and plead the fifth. He feels the weight of what he did, 'cause the world knows what he did now.

   2. BSBrian Simpson12:42

      But what did he do?

   3. JRJoe Rogan12:42

      Well, first of all, he funded gain-of-function research when it's illegal. So when they, when Obama put a stop to it, he went through the EcoHealth Alliance, and they back-doored it, and so they, they funded this creation of these new vir- they ta- take a virus and make it more transmissible and more dangerous.

   4. BSBrian Simpson13:02

      But what's the purpose-

   5. JRJoe Rogan13:03

      They fund that

   6. BSBrian Simpson13:03

      ... what's the purpose of that?

   7. JRJoe Rogan13:04

      [sighs] Who knows, okay? There's a lotta people that think it's weapons, and that it's, this is biological weapons research, and what they're trying to do is develop specific targeted viruses that they can infla- inflict on a population. We know they have done that before. They've experimented with, like, certain bugs, and infect these bugs with diseases, and then drop them out of helicopters onto a civilization so that it wipes out people and wipes out their medical system. Everybody gets sick. They, they know they did that on Plum Island, which is right near where Lyme, Connecticut is, and that's the suspicion where Lyme disease came from. Lyme disease, th- this is why it's called Lyme disease, 'cause it first started, people started being diagnosed with it in Lyme, Connecticut, and it's literally, like, like a hop, skip, and a jump from Plum Island, where they do this fucking research on bugs, where they take-

   8. BSBrian Simpson13:56

      Mm

   9. JRJoe Rogan13:56

      ... bugs and infect them with different diseases to make them, you know, so they can use them in warfare. That's the idea. The idea was that they would, say, if we're going to war with a country, you fly overhead, dump all these bugs that are infected. People get bit, it starts to spread, it gets in the other bugs. Their medical system gets overwhelmed. Their fighting age population gets overwhelmed.

   10. BSBrian Simpson14:18

       Mm.

   11. JRJoe Rogan14:19

       Scary shit, man. These motherfuckers have been doing this kind of research for a long time. But it's like, look, if you're a comedian, you... Your phone's ringing. If you're a comedian, you tell jokes. If you're a fucking researcher, you do research, and if your research is gain-of-function research, to make... And by the way, they never came up with a cure for any of these things. They, by, by s- the idea is we're gonna study these diseases, then make them more transmissible so we understand how to prevent infection and how to, how to cure people. They didn't have a cure. CO- when, when COVID got released, they had no, uh, fucking idea what to do. The whole thing was a, a, a mass fuck-up, either on purpose or by accident, but either way, Fauci lied, and he lied through the entire media thing. First of all, he lied about the miscarriage, uh, risk for women-

   12. BSBrian Simpson15:07

       So what are you saying about-

   13. JRJoe Rogan15:07

       ... in the first trimester. In a text message-

   14. BSBrian Simpson15:09

       You gonna have more? You gonna have 'em all?

   15. JRJoe Rogan15:10

       Yeah, for sure. In a, in a, in a text message, he talked about how the cytokine storm during the first trimester seems to, there seems to be a signal that indicates a, a higher risk of, m- of, uh, miscarriage. And then months later, he's on TV telling, "It's totally safe for pregnant women."

   16. BSBrian Simpson15:27

       Oh, really?

   17. JRJoe Rogan15:27

       "In fact, it's more risky for you to get COVID."

   18. BSBrian Simpson15:30

       What's the cytokine storm? What is that?

   19. JRJoe Rogan15:32

       Cytokine storm is a reaction to the vaccine. Um, and, uh, I don't know the specifics, but I know that this is exactly how he described it, and that, uh, particularly during the first trimester. I mean, there's, like, a high risk of miscarriage. It's very high. A lot... I know five women that had miscarriages-

   20. BSBrian Simpson15:51

       And-

   21. JRJoe Rogan15:51

       ... when they, after they got vaccinated.

   22. BSBrian Simpson15:52

       Mm.

   23. JRJoe Rogan15:54

       They got pregnant, got vaccinated, had a miscarriage.

   24. BSBrian Simpson15:58

       And then-

   25. JRJoe Rogan15:58

       And he knew about it. He fucking knew about it and lied. He lied about the transmission. He lied about the, uh, the risk for children. He lied about everything-

   26. BSBrian Simpson16:08

       So-

   27. JRJoe Rogan16:08

       ... the necessity for children to get vaccinated.

   28. BSBrian Simpson16:10

       Is he going to prison?

   29. JRJoe Rogan16:11

       He lied about that. No, 'cause Biden gave him a full pardon for all crimes that he may have committed from 2014 to 2024. He gave him a 10-year pardon for the first time ever, where someone's been pardoned where they're not convicted of a crime. Usually when you're pardoned, it's like, you know, you did a little of this, you did a little of that. You went to jail for tax evasion or whatever, and then the guy gets in and goes, "Ah, he donated to the Democrats," or, "He donated to the Republicans, and he's a good guy. I'm leaving office. I'm gonna let this guy out." And people go like, "Hey, how did he get out?" They, they yell for a couple days, then it goes away, and then you live in Florida. That's normal.

   30. BSBrian Simpson16:49

       Right.
7. 20:22 – 24:48

   AIDS era controversies & Peter Duesberg’s rejected theory

   1. JRJoe Rogan20:22

      I have a sneaking suspicion that there's a guy, he died recently. Um, the, the guy, uh, Peter Duesberg, who was out of the University of California Berkeley. When did he die?

   2. BSBrian Simpson20:35

      He, he's among the guy that, uh-

   3. JRJoe Rogan20:37

      He, he was, uh-

   4. BSBrian Simpson20:38

      Had the bone marrow transplant?

   5. JRJoe Rogan20:40

      No, no, no. He-

   6. SPSpeaker20:42

      Earlier this year in January.

   7. JRJoe Rogan20:43

      Oh, earlier this year. Shoulda had him back on again. I had him on early in the day and people got so mad at me. So he's a professor of biology at the University of California Berkeley. Tenured professor, so they couldn't fire him. And, um, but lost all of his research grants, lost everything. 'Cause during the AIDS crisis, he pointed out that all these people that are in the gay community that are suffering from, you know, air quote, "AIDS," are also hardcore drug users. They're all party drug users. They're all using amyl nitrate and crystal meth, and they're all, they're destroying their immune system with this stuff, and then they get HIV. His contention was that HIV, and I don't know if this is true, uh, I'm sure a lot of people disagree, but I'm just saying what he believed. His contention was that HIV was actually not responsible for AIDS, but was in fact a weak virus that was only showing up in the immune systems of people that were already compromised. So these people were severely compromised because they were heavy drug users, and that's what was fucking up their, their immune system. That's what was fucking up their life.

   8. BSBrian Simpson21:47

      So he's, he said that in the '80s?

   9. JRJoe Rogan21:49

      Oh yeah, there's tons of articles. I mean, he, he printed it, I think, God, it was like, was it Spin Magazine that had this whole thing about it? He wrote books on it. But he was basically rendered per- persona non grata. He was, he was basically, l- lost all his grants, d- didn't have any, you know, no students wanted to, like, study under him. He was, he was a pariah because of his position. They, they said it was homophobic. They said all these crazy things. But he was saying, "Look, this is nothing to do with gay or straight. What I'm telling you is this group of people that you're attributing this disease to also are hardcore drug users. You're not seeing this..." Like, when they say AIDS in Africa, do you think they're testing all those people for HIV with a fucking, with a, with a PCR test? No. They're, they're malnourished. They're dying of starvation.

   10. BSBrian Simpson22:35

       So you, so his theory is that you, you have to already have a weakened-

   11. JRJoe Rogan22:39

       Exactly

   12. BSBrian Simpson22:39

       ... for your HIV to progress to AIDS.

   13. JRJoe Rogan22:42

       Exactly.

   14. BSBrian Simpson22:42

       Mm.

   15. JRJoe Rogan22:43

       He was saying the reason why these people have HIV is not because they have, HIV's killing them, they have AIDS. Their immune system is already destroyed, so that's why HIV is not fought off by the body. It's very weird.

   16. BSBrian Simpson22:58

       Hmm.

   17. JRJoe Rogan22:58

       Because he's full of shit, okay? We know he's full of shit. He's a liar. He's a proven liar. He lied about the gain-of-function research. He lied about the transmission, lied about the infection of, the potential of the vaccine to stop infection and transmission. He lied about how deadly it was for kids. He lied about the death rate.

   18. BSBrian Simpson23:15

       Well, I re-

   19. JRJoe Rogan23:16

       There's proof of all of this

   20. BSBrian Simpson23:17

       ... I remember when you sent me that book. It was like... I forget, who wrote that book?

   21. JRJoe Rogan23:20

       Which one? RFK Jr.? The Real Anthony Fauci?

   22. BSBrian Simpson23:23

       I th- I think, was that a book you sent me, like, during the, it was like during the pandemic, or right after the pandemic.

   23. JRJoe Rogan23:26

       Probably, yeah.

   24. BSBrian Simpson23:26

       You went, "You gotta read this."

   25. JRJoe Rogan23:27

       Probably. That was a, yeah.

   26. BSBrian Simpson23:28

       I never read it.

   27. JRJoe Rogan23:29

       Eh, you should listen to the audio version. It's really good.

   28. BSBrian Simpson23:32

       I just don't think he's that, I just don't think he's that interesting.

   29. JRJoe Rogan23:34

       Who?

   30. BSBrian Simpson23:34

       Uh, 'cause Doc- 'cause-
8. 24:48 – 30:01

   Vaccine politics, autism research fraud, and industry influence

   1. JRJoe Rogan24:48

      I mean, he's the head of HHS now. I mean, I, I don't think he's wrong. And ev- And I had the same opinion of him that a lot of people have of him.

   2. BSBrian Simpson24:56

      Hold up, you don't think who's wrong?

   3. JRJoe Rogan24:57

      I thought... RFK Jr.

   4. BSBrian Simpson24:58

      Oh.

   5. JRJoe Rogan24:58

      I don't think he's wrong.

   6. BSBrian Simpson24:59

      What do you-

   7. JRJoe Rogan24:59

      I think, I think he, it's very well-researched, and I think he's telling the truth about all this. And when I was, um, you know, a, a, a quote-unquote liberal when I was living in California, I thought he was a kook. When he was talking about vaccines and all, all this, uh, I thought he was just an anti-vaccine, anti-science nutter that also happened to be a Kennedy.

   8. BSBrian Simpson25:20

      See, that's how I feel about him.

   9. JRJoe Rogan25:21

      'Cause you don't pay attention to what he says.

   10. BSBrian Simpson25:24

       That is a good point.

   11. JRJoe Rogan25:25

       Yeah.

   12. BSBrian Simpson25:25

       [laughs] You know, you know, you... 'Cause it's har- 'cause it's hard to listen to.

   13. JRJoe Rogan25:28

       Yeah.

   14. BSBrian Simpson25:28

       It's hard to listen to him talk.

   15. JRJoe Rogan25:29

       "Well, if you hear his voice..." Yeah. But the thing is, the book is written, uh, written, and then someone else reads it.

   16. BSBrian Simpson25:35

       'Cause when you-

   17. JRJoe Rogan25:35

       So it's not he... That would be torture if you read the audiobook

   18. BSBrian Simpson25:37

       ... when you talk like that and then you say some crazy shit-

   19. JRJoe Rogan25:39

       Yeah

   20. BSBrian Simpson25:40

       ... you sound like, like a-

   21. JRJoe Rogan25:41

       Yeah, exactly

   22. BSBrian Simpson25:42

       ... like a tr- like a troll or something.

   23. JRJoe Rogan25:44

       Well, the thing about him that's really interesting is he was a well-respected guy for the long, for the longest time because he was an environmental attorney. And what he was doing was stopping corporations from polluting rivers. Like, he's responsible for cleaning up the East River in New York State, in New York City.

   24. BSBrian Simpson26:00

       Mm.

   25. JRJoe Rogan26:00

       He's, he's literally responsible for that. Like, he held those... He went to court. He held those people accountable, made them clean it up. Like, he was a legit guy. And then these women kept showing up at, um, some of these events that he had where he would give speeches on the, the toxic poisons, mercury in the ground, all these different things that are the problems of pollution that enters into communities. And these ladies started saying, "You need to look at mercury in vaccines." And he was like, "What? Fucking crazy bitches. I'm not listening." And, like, this woman literally showed up and said, "I'm not leaving unless you read this." And he's, "All right. Well, let me, let me look at it." And then he started looking in it. He was like, "Holy fuck." And then when you see the, the... When they ra- First of all, the biggest mistake they ever did was give these vaccine manufacturers complete immunity.

   26. BSBrian Simpson26:50

       So is he, is he the reason we don't use mercury in the vaccines anymore?

   27. JRJoe Rogan26:54

       Oh, I don't know. I don't know. Well, they use a different kind of mercury, and then they started using... They use, use methylmercury and ethylmercury. I forget which one. In one of them, they said, uh, it's, it leaves the body quicker. But the problem with that is it also crosses the blood- blood-brain barrier. Like, any amount of mercury is bad. Then they, they started using aluminum. You know, the way... Do you know how a vaccine works?

   28. BSBrian Simpson27:16

       I mean, generally.

   29. JRJoe Rogan27:17

       Roughly? Roughly?

   30. BSBrian Simpson27:18

       Yeah.
9. 30:01 – 36:15

   Drugs as policy and profit: THC bans, Adderall, and the reality of ‘ADD’

   1. JRJoe Rogan30:01

      ... 50. Well, what have they, what have they done here in Texas with the fucking THC ban? Who's asking for that when 70% of the state wants it to be legal, and somehow or another they made it illegal, and the alcohol lobby is involved, and they've been losing money? You know, alcohol companies are losing money right now.

   2. BSBrian Simpson30:19

      Yeah.

   3. JRJoe Rogan30:19

      People are drinking a lot less.

   4. BSBrian Simpson30:20

      Texas runs on drugs. It's crazy to people that pretend, like, pretend otherwise. It's like everyone's always on something.

   5. JRJoe Rogan30:28

      Well, if they're not on something illegal, they're on something legal. And that's where it gets weird. Like, who decides what's legal and what's not legal?

   6. BSBrian Simpson30:35

      Like, all the border states get high.

   7. JRJoe Rogan30:38

      Yeah.

   8. BSBrian Simpson30:38

      Yeah. I mean, not... I mean, all the states get high, but the border states especially, where the... That's where the drugs are coming in.

   9. JRJoe Rogan30:44

      Listen, you could just go to the doctor and say, "I can't concentrate," and they'll give you Adderall.

   10. BSBrian Simpson30:49

       Yeah.

   11. JRJoe Rogan30:49

       It's so easy to get Adderall.

   12. BSBrian Simpson30:51

       They'll put you on some powerful shit.

   13. JRJoe Rogan30:53

       They'll put you on speed. You can crush it up and snort it, and it's totally legal.

   14. BSBrian Simpson31:00

       Yeah. I mean, half the college kids, they on Adderall and then chat GP-

   15. JRJoe Rogan31:03

       Half the high school kids.

   16. BSBrian Simpson31:04

       [laughs]

   17. JRJoe Rogan31:05

       High school kids are saying they have ADD and they're getting Adderall. I know this for a fact.

   18. BSBrian Simpson31:10

       The thing is, I do have it, but I don't wa- I can't take that shit. It fucks me up.

   19. JRJoe Rogan31:14

       What do you mean you have ADD?

   20. BSBrian Simpson31:15

       I've been, I've ha- I was diagnosed with that shit when I was like-

   21. JRJoe Rogan31:18

       What does that even mean?

   22. BSBrian Simpson31:19

       I don't know.

   23. JRJoe Rogan31:20

       I don't even think it's real.

   24. BSBrian Simpson31:21

       They, but all, every time they tried to give me medicine for it, I was like, "Well, I don't like this."

   25. JRJoe Rogan31:24

       I think it's just you think different than other people. That's all it is, and you, you're bored with stupid stuff that you don't wanna pay attention to. But you could focus like a motherfucker when you like something, right?

   26. BSBrian Simpson31:34

       Oh, yeah.

   27. JRJoe Rogan31:35

       Yeah.

   28. BSBrian Simpson31:35

       Or-

   29. JRJoe Rogan31:35

       It's a superpower, dude

   30. BSBrian Simpson31:36

       ... when I like something or when there's a sense of urgency.
10. 36:15 – 43:43

    Political money, NGO laundering, and USAID as regime-change infrastructure

    1. JRJoe Rogan36:15

       The thing about money and power is at, at the highest levels, like when you get into government, when you get into enorm- enormous corporations that can affect government, then you're gonna get a lot of scams because they're just trying to make as much money as possible.

    2. BSBrian Simpson36:30

       Yeah.

    3. JRJoe Rogan36:30

       That's the problem.

    4. BSBrian Simpson36:30

       Like, I don't think, I don't think it was ever intended for, for like, for politician to be like your job, for senator to be like-

    5. JRJoe Rogan36:38

       No

    6. BSBrian Simpson36:38

       ... a lifetime.

    7. JRJoe Rogan36:39

       Lifetime. Crazy. And then all of a sudden you, you have hundreds of millions of dollars through a method no one could really explain.

    8. BSBrian Simpson36:46

       Yeah.

    9. JRJoe Rogan36:46

       Why you're so good at the stock market.

    10. BSBrian Simpson36:48

        Yeah, and all y'all, and, and if I just, if I just follow all your, mirror all your stock trades perfectly. Yeah. Yeah, regardless of party-

    11. JRJoe Rogan36:55

        It's-

    12. BSBrian Simpson36:55

        ... I somehow I get...

    13. JRJoe Rogan36:57

        You ever talk to DeRosa about it?

    14. BSBrian Simpson36:58

        No.

    15. JRJoe Rogan36:59

        DeRosa used to work for the Senate in Texas, and he's got crazy stories, crazy stories about how much money these people are getting. Donations, and this and that, and go and do this, and go and do that, and getting paid to do this, and paid to do that. That's most of what their job is, is fundraising and collecting money from people.

    16. BSBrian Simpson37:17

        Oh, yeah, and I, and I made the mistake of... 'Cause I, y- you know, I, I never give politicians money, like ever. It just doesn't make sense to me to give a rich motherfucker money. They like, "I need your money." I need money, right? I need you to go get me... I, but I, I don't donate to them hardly ever. And I made the mistake, I sent a politician money recently, and I, and, and then they just, they just never stop asking.

    17. JRJoe Rogan37:40

        Mm.

    18. BSBrian Simpson37:40

        Just every week. Like you, as soon as you put your email down-

    19. JRJoe Rogan37:44

        Mm-hmm

    20. BSBrian Simpson37:44

        ... they just, every week they're like, "Guys, we need-" [laughs]

    21. JRJoe Rogan37:47

        Yeah

    22. BSBrian Simpson37:47

        "... I just need one more dollar." I was like, "I'm not giving you no fucking money." I-

    23. JRJoe Rogan37:51

        They were trying to, they were trying to raise money for the Democratic Party right after Kamala lost. They were sending out emails.

    24. BSBrian Simpson37:59

        Well, they, they're, they're always all in constant... That's why, that's why-

    25. JRJoe Rogan38:02

        Constant

    26. BSBrian Simpson38:03

        ... that's why the, the, the political parties need to constantly keep you scared because th- that's the only way they can make sure you give them money.

    27. JRJoe Rogan38:12

        Yeah.

    28. BSBrian Simpson38:12

        They tell you the sky is falling. If, "Hey, if we can't defeat them, it's the end of the world."

    29. JRJoe Rogan38:16

        Yeah. Yeah, it's a dirty business, man.

    30. BSBrian Simpson38:19

        Yeah. There's peop- there's people that are s- that are struggling that are still giving politicians money.
11. 43:43 – 52:43

    Corruption logic, blackmail fears, and the ‘Weekend at Bernie’s’ gerontocracy

    1. BSBrian Simpson43:43

       You seen that meme of the guy that was like, "Co- corruption is not bad, and only when I am not involved." You know what I'm talking about?

    2. JRJoe Rogan43:53

       No.

    3. BSBrian Simpson43:53

       Yeah. He's like, w- but-

    4. JRJoe Rogan43:54

       Who's that? Idi Amin?

    5. BSBrian Simpson43:55

       No. [laughs] No, no. I wo-

    6. JRJoe Rogan43:57

       [laughs]

    7. BSBrian Simpson43:57

       I don't even, I don't think he was a famous dictator or whatever. He was just a, he was like this African politician. He was just saying, just telling people on the news like, "Corruption is not bad." It ...

    8. JRJoe Rogan44:06

       Let me hear this dude.

    9. SPSpeaker44:07

       I'm not involved. Yes.

    10. JRJoe Rogan44:09

        Let me hear it. Start it over.

    11. BSBrian Simpson44:10

        Back it up.

    12. SPSpeaker44:10

        If I'm part of that corruption, I def- corruption is not bad. Corruption is only bad if I'm not involved. Yes. But if I'm part of that corruption, I'll defend it.

    13. JRJoe Rogan44:24

        Okay, he's not talking about him. I guarantee you that guy is talking about people who are corrupt who defend corruption.

    14. BSBrian Simpson44:30

        Really?

    15. JRJoe Rogan44:30

        I think they're taking him out of context. I don't think he's really saying that, that openly.

    16. BSBrian Simpson44:33

        I, you know what's funny? I've actually never looked into it.

    17. JRJoe Rogan44:35

        If I thought about that, I ... That guy doesn't look like a scumbag. The way he's saying it, to me, just my instinct, I could be wrong-

    18. BSBrian Simpson44:42

        Who i- who is he, Jeremy? You know him?

    19. JRJoe Rogan44:43

        Watch him. He's a massive thief. [laughs]

    20. BSBrian Simpson44:46

        [laughs]

    21. JRJoe Rogan44:46

        I'm totally wrong.

    22. BSBrian Simpson44:47

        [laughs]

    23. JRJoe Rogan44:47

        Human rights activist Samson- Thank you ... Owimba Ol- Thank you ... Ojayo. Thank you.

    24. BSBrian Simpson44:52

        But did, but-

    25. JRJoe Rogan44:52

        Thank you

    26. BSBrian Simpson44:52

        ... what, do you, what was the-

    27. JRJoe Rogan44:54

        He goes by Samson

    28. BSBrian Simpson44:54

        ... what's the context of that quote?

    29. JRJoe Rogan44:57

        Listen, he's a human rights activist. Let's leave it at that. Let's move on. [laughs] Longer speech. Yes. He was using irony. He used irony. Thank you.

    30. BSBrian Simpson45:03

        Oh.
12. 52:43 – 1:18:12

    Moses, psychedelics, cult mechanics, and Nietzsche’s master/slave morality

    1. BSBrian Simpson52:43

       Wh- what, wasn't, weren't you telling me something about the Old Testament when I walked in?

    2. JRJoe Rogan52:46

       We were talking, Jamie was bringing up something about Moses. We're gonna bring that up.

    3. SPSpeaker52:50

       Let me get back to it. Hold on one second.

    4. JRJoe Rogan52:51

       Yeah. Um...

    5. SPSpeaker52:53

       Um, it was just, like, following the story of... Uh, I guess it'd be, like, literally following the story and just sort of, like, you know, putting it through a filter about things I know or we know now. Damn, I lost it. Hold on one second. Um, but, like, yeah, I guess what do you know about that story off the gate?

    6. JRJoe Rogan53:09

       Which part of the story?

    7. SPSpeaker53:09

       I don't know. I forgot what-

    8. JRJoe Rogan53:10

       You were talking about the Ten Commandments?

    9. SPSpeaker53:11

       Well, yeah, just how Moses found... That's [clears throat] Moses and the burning bush is Exodus 3. I guess that's how it's, like, titled. So that's where he finds the Ten Commandments. So he sees a burning bush, or a bush that is burning and not burning up, you know, like not being, uh-

    10. JRJoe Rogan53:27

        Consumed by the fire?

    11. SPSpeaker53:28

        Correct. [clears throat] And then an angel of God speaks to him, tells him to take off his shoes 'cause he's on holy ground. Uh, and then depending on which reading of the Bible or translation you're finding, he either finds the tablets or they're, like, presented to him or something. He then takes the tablets down off of the mountain, sees the people worshiping a golden calf, breaks the tablets, then they have to go make them again.

    12. JRJoe Rogan53:55

        [laughs]

    13. SPSpeaker53:56

        And this is where I started getting in this place of where I was, like, read- researching, like, language and cuneiform and whatnot, and I'm like, how many people back then knew actually how to write, read? And then how, like, he... The other, like, we've gone on side tracks with it might be an acacia bush, and he might have been, you know, high on DMT or something like that.

    14. BSBrian Simpson54:15

        Oh, he was probably high.

    15. SPSpeaker54:16

        And so, like, m- it says he found them, so, like, did, what did he find, and-

    16. JRJoe Rogan54:20

        I think that's-

    17. SPSpeaker54:20

        ... where'd they come from?

    18. JRJoe Rogan54:21

        ... a big part of a lot of these ancient religious stories. And the, there's a- A bunch of scholars out of the University of Jerusalem that they, they first came up with this theory that the acacia tree, the burning bush was in fact a psychedelic plant. And this... Like, what happens when you smoke DMT? You have crazy experiences and visions. You meet entities. And this is probably what... He probably got a giant dose of DMT from a burning bush.

    19. BSBrian Simpson54:50

        Yeah, I think that, that's also... Didn't Joseph Smith also find some tablets?

    20. JRJoe Rogan54:53

        Yeah. Yeah.

    21. BSBrian Simpson54:54

        The, the, the... I think, see, I'm always fascinated by people like the people that have founded religions and stuff. Because it's like, how charismatic do you have to be for people to, to buy that? For you to, like, go in the woods and come back and go, "Hey, I spoke to God and this, He told me these was all the rules. It's not me saying it." It's like, 'cause you... 'Cause think about who you would believe that would say that today.

And I think you and I are not high trust individuals.

    23. BSBrian Simpson56:32

        Mm.

    24. JRJoe Rogan56:33

        We are not... We don't immediately trust authority. We're, we're reluctant to believe people. We're very skeptical. You, you tell me something wacky, I'm like, "Wait, what happened? Where were you? You, you found a bush and the bush was on fire? Shut the fuck up."

    25. BSBrian Simpson56:47

        Especially if you start asking me for money.

    26. JRJoe Rogan56:49

        Right. But there's a lot of people that they're not confident at all, and they're very easily, uh, persuaded, and those people fall in line. Like, people that fall into cults, like the cult that owned the building that, uh, I almost bought, that One World Theater that... Have you ever watched that documentary?

    27. BSBrian Simpson57:07

        Mm-mm.

    28. JRJoe Rogan57:08

        That guy, I mean, he was, he was basically an obvious kook. He was a gay porn star and a hypnotist, and developed this cult out of, uh, his yoga students. And if you've ever taken yoga before, very, it gets very culty. There's a lot of people that are teaching the yoga that they, they... Look, there's yoga teachers that are very cool, and just really cool, sp- peaceful, spiritual people that really enjoy teaching yoga and making people's lives better, for sure.

    29. BSBrian Simpson57:33

        This is-

    30. JRJoe Rogan57:34

        But there's also people that get into a position of power, like being the spiritual leader of a yoga class, and then they start abusing that power. That's the story of, like, Bikram. Like, if you r- you know, you ever watched the documentary on that guy-
13. 1:18:12 – 1:30:20

    Microbes, hygiene, and the ‘too clean’ problem: from Semmelweis to mouthwash

    1. JRJoe Rogan1:18:12

       Well, especially when you're dealing with Europeans that are living in these squalor-like conditions. So Native Americans lived in these nomadic, especially like the Comanche, nomadic tribal, uh, existence where they were ... They had tents and horses, and they were traveling around and going to different places. They didn't live in their own shit. So the Europeans were living in these fucking places where they'd take a pot of shit and throw it out the window. Their streets were filled with horseshit. They had shit everywhere.

    2. BSBrian Simpson1:18:39

       And they were wrong about [laughs] why people were getting sick. [laughs] You know, it's like they, they didn't realize, like, oh, the shit is in the drinking water.

    3. JRJoe Rogan1:18:48

       Yeah, it's everywhere.

    4. BSBrian Simpson1:18:49

       Yeah, they, they ... You ... 'Cause they, back then, that ... You know, there was a time where, like, they believed in, like, vapors and ... You know what I'm talking about? Like, that time where everything was, was spirits and in alignment.

    5. JRJoe Rogan1:19:00

       [laughs]

    6. BSBrian Simpson1:19:00

       And, and they, and they just ... They were just completely wrong about ... why people were getting sick downriver. They, they, no one... It took a long time for people to connect that it was like, oh, because we're shitting up here and then we're pumping our drinking water-

    7. JRJoe Rogan1:19:12

       Well, the first doctor to realize that you should wash your fucking hands before you, uh, operate on people or, or give birth or help someone give birth, those, no one thought that was necessary. They didn't realize, like, you're, you have deser- disease, you have germs in your fucking hands. And he was ridiculed. The first doctor that said that, "I think we should wash our hands," like, "Get the fuck out of here."

    8. BSBrian Simpson1:19:33

       Who was that guy?

    9. JRJoe Rogan1:19:35

       I don't-

    10. BSBrian Simpson1:19:35

        We, why don't we celebrate that guy?

    11. JRJoe Rogan1:19:36

        I know. We should. I think probably the medical establishment probably does.

    12. BSBrian Simpson1:19:40

        I mean, he might, he may have saved more lives than anyone.

    13. JRJoe Rogan1:19:43

        Right. Yeah. I mean, you gotta think, before they had microscopes, they were just guessing.

    14. BSBrian Simpson1:19:49

        Well, at least when did, when did it start being a thing to wash your hands?

    15. JRJoe Rogan1:19:53

        Well, for physicians, here's the guy. Ignaz Semmelweis.

    16. BSBrian Simpson1:19:58

        Oh, that's why we don't celebrate him. Your name's hard to say.

    17. JRJoe Rogan1:20:00

        Too rough.

    18. BSBrian Simpson1:20:01

        You can't have too, you can't have too hard names.

    19. JRJoe Rogan1:20:04

        Hungarian medical doctor and scientist of German descent who was an early pioneer of antiseptic procedures, known as the savior of mothers. Postpartum infection, also known as purpura, pur- pur- purpura, puerperal fever or childbed fever, was common in the 19th century and often fatal. Semmelweis demonstrated that the incidence of infection could be drastically reduced by requiring healthcare workers in obstetrical clinics to disinfect their hands. In 1847, he proposed hand washing with chlorinated lime solutions at Vienna General Hospital's first obstetrical clinic, where doctors' wards had thrice the mortality of midwives' wards. Wow.

    20. BSBrian Simpson1:20:49

        I think it's obstetrical.

    21. JRJoe Rogan1:20:51

        Obstetrical?

    22. BSBrian Simpson1:20:51

        But I don't feel like we have to say it again.

    23. JRJoe Rogan1:20:53

        Obstetrical. It's funny how you can live to-

    24. BSBrian Simpson1:20:56

        Oh

    25. JRJoe Rogan1:20:56

        ... 59 years old and never have said a word.

    26. BSBrian Simpson1:20:58

        Oh, man.

    27. JRJoe Rogan1:20:59

        And then it just shows up.

    28. SPSpeaker1:21:00

        How many times do you say thrice?

    29. JRJoe Rogan1:21:01

        Thrice. I'm gonna say it all the time now.

    30. BSBrian Simpson1:21:03

        [laughs] I mean-
14. 1:30:20 – 1:58:26

    Great Lakes, ice age mysteries, and disaster footage from Nepal

    1. JRJoe Rogan1:30:20

       He came from a moneyed background and received a good education. As a young man, he spoke several languages and dressed in d- a dandified manner, and after his fiancee died on their wedding day, he just said, "Fuck it." He gave up on life. Why also ... Why does it say Iran Portal right there? Probably 'cause it's propaganda. I don't know what that's all about. They're trying to get us. Um, I've, uh ... Did you know that we renamed Lake Ontario today? Yes. To Lake America. Lake America. [laughs] Lake Ontario's no longer Lake Ontario. It's Lake America. And we might be doing the Lake Atlantic next.

    2. BSBrian Simpson1:30:50

       Why would, why did we do that?

    3. JRJoe Rogan1:30:52

       We might be doing Atlantic and Pacific? Could be. I saw- What are we gonna name them? I don't know what the Pacific-

    4. BSBrian Simpson1:30:57

       The ocean?

    5. JRJoe Rogan1:30:58

       [laughs] Yeah. But Lake Ontario has been Lake Ontario forever. Isn't it connected to Ontario? Yeah, it said it has something to do with Trump.

    6. BSBrian Simpson1:31:07

       Yeah, and what about the-

    7. JRJoe Rogan1:31:08

       But it's in, it's in America or it's in Canada? Parts in Ontario, correct?

    8. SPSpeaker1:31:12

       Par- Oh, it's the Great Lakes, so I mean, it touches both

    9. BSBrian Simpson1:31:15

       Yeah, both, all the lakes touch both-

    10. JRJoe Rogan1:31:16

        Okay, but-

    11. SPSpeaker1:31:17

        In the middle

    12. JRJoe Rogan1:31:17

        ... what percentage of the land is on, um, Canada versus America?

    13. SPSpeaker1:31:24

        I think it's literally... I, I mean, I, I could look it up-

    14. JRJoe Rogan1:31:26

        Yeah, let's look it up

    15. SPSpeaker1:31:26

        ... other than the map, but it's f- I think on the map right there-

    16. JRJoe Rogan1:31:28

        Let's see whose side we're on

    17. BSBrian Simpson1:31:29

        No, but also-

    18. SPSpeaker1:31:30

        ... on the map, I think it's 50/50.

    19. JRJoe Rogan1:31:32

        That's crazy.

    20. SPSpeaker1:31:32

        But I don't know if it's exact 50/50.

    21. BSBrian Simpson1:31:33

        But also, President Trump, you gotta stop fucking with the acronyms, man.

    22. JRJoe Rogan1:31:36

        Well-

    23. BSBrian Simpson1:31:36

        'Cause I learned the Great Lakes, but I've learned HOMES. That's how you know, that's how you can name all the lakes, right? How they gonna teach the kids now?

    24. JRJoe Rogan1:31:43

        HOMES?

    25. BSBrian Simpson1:31:44

        Yeah.

    26. JRJoe Rogan1:31:45

        What do you mean?

    27. BSBrian Simpson1:31:45

        Lake, Lake Huron, Lake Ontario, Lake Michigan, um, what's the next? E- Lake Erie, and Lake Superior.

    28. JRJoe Rogan1:31:54

        Oh, the, yeah, acronym. Okay. I didn't learn that.

    29. BSBrian Simpson1:31:58

        No?

    30. JRJoe Rogan1:31:58

        I don't think so.
15. 1:58:26 – 2:28:55

    You can’t quit the adrenaline: fighter injuries, Toradol culture, and career decline

    1. JRJoe Rogan1:58:26

       No. Have you seen those, um, the video of Tiger Woods, the recent video?

    2. BSBrian Simpson1:58:30

       No.

    3. JRJoe Rogan1:58:30

       Where people are freaking out at how bad he looks? He's, I forget what the video's for. He's talking to somebody about something, like he's a- addressing someone, and you look at him, you're like, "What happened?" He looks so bad.

    4. BSBrian Simpson1:58:43

       What do you mean?

    5. JRJoe Rogan1:58:43

       And this is after, you know, he got a DUI fairly recently, and he's had mul-

    6. BSBrian Simpson1:58:48

       Another one

    7. JRJoe Rogan1:58:49

       ... another one, and he's had multiple surgeries, right? He's had his back fused. He had that horrible accident where his leg got destroyed, and they had to put it back together again. Like, he's got one leg that's just destroyed.

    8. BSBrian Simpson1:59:01

       From the car accident.

    9. JRJoe Rogan1:59:02

       Yes.

    10. BSBrian Simpson1:59:03

        From the drinking.

    11. JRJoe Rogan1:59:03

        Yeah. Where... I don't know what it was. I think it was... They, it's, whether it's DUI, meaning under the influence of alcohol, or under the influence of pills. The problem with these back surgeries, 'cause when people get back fusions and back surgery, a lot of times they're in pain all the time. And here's your choice, be in pain all the time or be on pills all the time. Like, look at what he looks like.

    12. BSBrian Simpson1:59:26

        Ah.

    13. JRJoe Rogan1:59:28

        Full screen.

    14. SPSpeaker1:59:28

        To defend him, though, you almost never see him without a hat. He's g- got a fucking bad tan line.

    15. BSBrian Simpson1:59:33

        Yeah, I mean, he just looks... Uh, I mean, he doesn't look that bad to me.

    16. JRJoe Rogan1:59:36

        Play it. Play it.

    17. SPSpeaker1:59:37

        He's talking about, I don't know what he's talking about. 17 years old, uh, playing in the Junior World, and you came over to watch me play, and our friendship has started there- This guy, I've never seen him with a beard ... and it's never ended.

    18. JRJoe Rogan1:59:47

        He's never had facial hair.

    19. SPSpeaker1:59:47

        Seeing what you've done off the golf course- Yeah, I mean, he's talking about it good, but-

    20. JRJoe Rogan1:59:52

        Well, maybe you could attribute it to bad lighting, but he looks pale, and he looks sick.

    21. BSBrian Simpson1:59:57

        Oh, that's just a shitty camera.

    22. SPSpeaker1:59:59

        Yeah, a shitty camera.

    23. JRJoe Rogan1:59:59

        It could be, but it's also a guy who's had a lot of problems with pills.

    24. BSBrian Simpson2:00:04

        Hm.

    25. JRJoe Rogan2:00:05

        So I think it's fair to make that assumption-

    26. BSBrian Simpson2:00:08

        That he looks like shit right there?

    27. JRJoe Rogan2:00:09

        ... that there's something has to do with the fact that this guy's had a serious pill problem.

    28. BSBrian Simpson2:00:14

        I mean, but that, that... He just looked reg- I mean, I guess I don't look at the things good enough to know.

    29. JRJoe Rogan2:00:18

        How many times has Tiger Woods been arrested for DUI?

    30. BSBrian Simpson2:00:22

        Well, he looked regular.
