The Joe Rogan Experience.

Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day. (instrumental music plays) Hello, Brett, good to see you, my friend.

Joe, always so great to see you, brother.

Um, so I was telling you before we get started that I had the most bizarre dream I've ever had in my life last night, the most realistic and most bizarre dream. And it's, uh, so hard to try to explain how strange this was, but I was in some weird corridor that looked like a building, but was odd, very strange, and I was encountering these beings that look like people, but very different. They were very thin, and they were slightly on the tall side. Um, and they had big heads, like larger than normal with larger than normal eyes, but they looked like people, and they were playful, and they were scaring me, like, they scared me, and then they joked around, like, we were just joking around. It was the most realistic dream I've ever had in my life. And I woke up and I could not go back to- I had to stay up. I got up at 3:30 in the morning, and I just went to the gym. And I worked out for a couple of hours, and I was like, "What the fuck was that?" But it was, it was very bizarre in that there was communication going on. It was, uh, it was like... (sighs) God, I don't want to read into this 'cause I know it's just a dream, but it was like, "Get comfortable with this."

You should read into it because it's a dream. So, it doesn't make it right, but your subconscious is trying to tell you about something, and the fact that it felt very, very important means your subconscious thinks it's very, very important.

I woke up... I mean, I was tired, man. When I went to bed, I was tired. I was falling asleep watching TV. I went to bed at, like, 10:30, 11:00 at night, like, beat down. I was like, "Oh my God, I'm gonna get some sleep." It's been a long week, lot of activities, workouts, this, that, the other. Tired. 3:30 in the morning, after- whatever this was woke me up so much that I just laid in bed for, like, another hour, and I was like, "There is no way I'm going to sleep. I'm, uh, I'm up forever." And then I just went and worked out. I worked out, and I was hoping I would be exhausted after I worked out and I'd be able to relax, but it was, like, a couple of hours after that that I sat, like, laid down and I took a nap for an hour before I came here.

Question for ya.

Yeah.

Did you see a video, I think it was yesterday, maybe it was the day before, of some Chinese robots that seemed to be across, uh, on our side of the uncanny valley, that they walk with a gait that feels very human? Did you see that?
