Joe Rogan Experience #2373 - Dave Landau

Joe Rogan podcast, check it out.
The Joe Rogan experience.
Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day.
Yeah, don't worry.
There we go.
What's up?
How you doing?
Good to see you, brother.
Good to see you, sir.
What's crackalack on?
Not much.
Just rocking the Shinola.
We're talking about your Shinola watch.
I'm glad Detroit's coming back, you know, and I like how Shinola represents.
Shinola is definitely one of the things that's great about Detroit.
Yeah, they say it, like, made in Detroit.
They're proud.
Yes, which we didn't have for a long time.
Dude.
Detroit is the craziest story.
If you know the story about Detroit, like, in the 1950s and 60s,
it was the third richest city in the world.
Well, yeah, it was called the Paris of the Midwest,
and it's a city that's still built for 7 million people
with supposedly 700,000 living in it.
I mean, so you do see a lot of, like,
how is there, like, a million-dollar condo in the same place
that has, like, eight abandoned other apartments?
When you go downtown, it makes no sense logistically.
Do you ever watch that show Top Gear?
Oh, yeah.
Jeremy Clarkson.
I think it was easier.
Top Gear was maybe the one they did after that,
that they did for Amazon.
But they went to Detroit, and they bought a house for $500.
Yeah, you can.
And there's also the people that buy them and open the door
and get mauled by pit bulls.
Or you see the ones that, like, they'll put, like, a pumpkin pad.
Like, they'll do an urban farm, which is hysterical.
And you'll see, like, these hippies on the news,
like, they cut my face and stole my plums.
And I'm scared.
It's like, yeah, but you're in a crack neighborhood.
Nobody wants your farm.
No, we're gentrifying.
Yeah, isn't that what you guys want?
It's like, they don't want that at all.
There's some delusional fucking people out there, dude.
And what they did to Detroit.
Like, anybody that thinks that you should allow corporations
to just take all the jobs and move them overseas,
well, this is just, like, corporate decision-making
and it's prudent financial decision-making.
And look at Detroit.
Look what they did.
It's a prime example of, like, that was the American dream.
Yeah.
And they're like, we'll just, we'll assemble them in Mexico.
Look, but we'll write Made in America on your door,
so you're going to feel good about it.
Do they even write Made in America on the door?
Sometimes they do.
Like, I prefer, like, the 80s and 90s
where if you bought a car and it was made on a Friday,
you knew a drunk guy did it.
So you're like, give me one from a Wednesday.
Like, those were the days of American automaking.
See, that's part of the problem, too.
A friend of mine who was in the union
told me that the automakers union just got out of control.
They were making so much money,
and they were constantly in negotiations.
There were strikes impending.
Oh, yeah.
And then they were like, hey, but fuck you.
We'll just go to Mexico.
They offed Hoffa.
Yeah, they offed Hoffa.
Get that, too.
Right.
That's right.
Yeah.
That's just part of it.
But no, like, later on, like you said,
in the 80s and 90s,
like, you're grandfathered in,
and it really doesn't matter what you do wrong.
Right.
Like, that's part of the deal.
Yeah, you can't get fired.
No, it was great.
I mean, it's great for the worker.
There seems to be, like, a middle balance that could be reached.
Like, don't be fully hammered when you're trying to put a door on an F-150.
I mean, they should make good money because the corporation makes good money.
I mean, you know, they were doing well.
It was a very profitable business.
The workers should share in those profits.
Well, and, like, the electric ones, it just didn't work for them, either.
Oh, the new stuff.
They pushed it out too soon, too.
Because I know people that work on the line, you have, like, the electric F-150.
And it's like, F-150s, everybody wants one.
They love it as a work truck.
But as an electric truck, you put the thing down in South America where it's
hot all the time.
It's just going to catch fire.
So it's like it's not really working out.
Or if you're in the cold, the battery sucks.
Yeah, which...
Yeah.
And I just don't like electric cars, personally.
Maybe it's just because I'm from Detroit and I grew up and I just want to feel
an engine.
I get it, but I have a Tesla that will knock your dick into the dirt.
Oh, I know they're fast.
It's not just fast.
It's...
A fucking car is incredible.
It's a piece of machinery from the future.
What is it?
It's a Model S.
Okay.
But it's a plaid that was sent to a company called Unplugged Performance.
And Unplugged Performance takes the fenders off, put carbon fiber wider fenders,
changes the suspension to, like, a race-based suspension,
puts wide tires on it and wider wheels,
upgrades the brakes to these huge carbon fiber discs because it's a very heavy
car.
I was going to say, so it's heavier as opposed to lighter like a race car.
Well, it's heavier because Teslas are very heavy because of the batteries.
But because the batteries are on the bottom,
the center of gravity in the car is phenomenal.
Okay.
It's like one of the best balanced cars you could ever drive.
And the self-driving is bananas.
Oh, you have it on there?
I had my...
Yeah, you get it with the car.
I had my buddy, Fedor, was here the other day,
and he had never been in one.
So the first thing I always do is merge onto the highway.
I'm like, you ready?
Yeah.
But it goes 0 to 60 in 1.9 seconds.
Are you serious?
1.9 seconds.
Oh, that's faster.
And then I go, now this is what's really wacky.
I put in the destination and I just say, take me to the comedy mothership.
And then I press a button.
And it goes doo-doo.
And when I go, it goes doo-doo, it just does it on its own.
Changes lanes, stops at red lights.
It's crazy.
It moves around obstructions.
Really?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because I remember the first ones, they were like, you know, barreling over bikers.
It's still based on cameras, so you could fool it with a camera.
You could fool the camera, rather.
So some guy set up a mural in the desert.
So what he did was he had the highway, and then he made a mural that looked
like the highway,
and the car just ran right through the mural.
Oh, I saw that.
That was great.
He made it look, yeah, and he put a Woody Woodpecker to the side of it.
Like he just pulled.
He just drew the tunnel.
It was hysterical.
And the thing went right into the tunnel.
He basically liked that, but he did draw the tunnel.
But it is what Woody Woodpecker did, right?
It's so awesome.
He would draw a tunnel at the side of a cliff.
Yeah, that's all he did.
Just tricked it like it was a coyote.
Which, with all the AI, it was kind of nice to see.
I hate to say it.
I was like, that's a little relieving.
It's kind of funny.
For now.
But, you know, it's like beating up a two-year-old that's eventually become an
NFL player.
Oh, of course.
Like, this fucker's going to grow up and he's going to kill you.
You're going to regret it.
They got to remember who fucked with the Waymos.
You know?
I was watching a movie last night.
I can't remember the name of it.
Companion.
And it was just all about, like, sex bots.
Oh, boy.
And they're, like, hunting them and going at each other.
And it's, like, just a...
It's a movie?
Yeah.
It was on HBO.
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
And, like, they set up a sex bot to kill one of their friends so they can rob
him.
Oh, boy.
And it turns out she's a sex bot and this other guy's a sex bot.
And I'm watching it and I'm like, this is the problem.
Like, yeah, there it is.
Like, you can't really give these things personalities if you have a sex bot, I
think.
Well, this is part of the problem that's happening with these chat bots with
kids because they're
developing relationships with them.
And, like, one AI chat bot was teaching a kid how to make a noose.
Yeah.
That's not funny.
No.
It's a little funny.
But I had to do a little.
It's pretty funny.
It's a little funny.
It's awful.
It's a little funny.
The fucking robot is teaching a suicidal kid how to do it right.
It's already encouraging, like, you have a good idea.
Yeah.
Take a rope.
Make sure.
Yeah, that's.
I wonder if any of the woke AI chat bots have talked to any of these trans
school shooters.
They might have.
You know what I'm saying?
Well, the last one, yeah.
I don't know.
Bro, it's like seven of the last X amount of trans, seven in a row have been
trans,
except one was non-binary, which is just diet trans.
It is.
Right?
That's diet trans.
That's trans without the sugar.
I just don't get it.
Like, I felt suicidal.
Like, stay at home and kill yourself.
Like, don't go into schools.
Or just go for a walk.
Yeah.
That would be good, too.
You know, the problem is some people get to a certain point in their life, and
they have
no friends, and no community, and no identity, and no life, and it's not, they're
not successful,
and they feel like shit, and then they have gender dysphoria on top of that,
and then they're
probably on a bunch of SSRIs, which RMK Jr.
is going to apparently do some sort of a large-scale research into the
connection between mass
shootings and psychiatric drugs, because it is real, and everyone knows it, and
it's just
this dirty secret that no one talks about, because all the media is paid off by
the pharmaceutical
drug companies, and nobody wants to make this correlation connection, because
you also risk the
wrath of all these people that are on them, saying, I'm on them, and I'm not
doing anything.
It's not the pills.
I need these to function.
Maybe you do.
I don't know.
I don't know how your brain works.
But the reality is, most of these people that have committed mass murder are on
psychiatric
medication.
Well, they are, and I'm on SSRIs that I'm trying to get off of right now,
because I've
been on for 10 years Zoloft, and I don't like it.
So I hadn't liked it for a long time, and even dealing with, like, mental
health care,
I'm like, I don't think I need this.
And they're like, well, it's better you stay on them.
I'm like, this is odd, because it's having the opposite thoughts, you know?
And so I...
It's having the opposite thoughts, meaning it makes you feel bad?
Depressed.
Yeah.
It wants me, like, really, like, I gained weight.
I was doing, like, really bad mentally for a while, because of certain things.
And it was...
I took myself off of them for five days, and I felt good.
And then I got really queasy and really nauseous.
Like, my brain started kind of misfiring.
So now I'm weaning it off a little more correctly, as opposed to just going
cold turkey.
So after five days, like, what is happening where it makes your brain crazy?
I was stuttering, I was slipping up, I was having trouble seeing.
Did you, like, go online and see if there's any correct way to do this?
Yeah, they said to wean it off, or whatever your thing is, take that,
and then bust a pill in half, take that for seven days.
Bust a pill in half, take that for seven days, and that's what I'm doing now.
And I already feel better being on less.
But I was told for the last ten years that that's what I should be on.
And I think it's had a very negative effect to me.
Well, yeah.
Yeah, see, brain zaps.
Brain zaps.
That's what I mean.
Like, you just feel like you're having a stroke.
Electric shock-like sensations in the head are a hallmark symptom.
Other sensations can include tingling or numbness.
Yep.
Flu-like symptoms, digestive issues, sleep problems, balance.
Your balance goes.
Mood changes, cognitive issues.
Brain fog.
There it is.
All of it.
And nausea was the one that really messed me up, because I was just like, why
do I feel sick?
But I didn't feel like the flu.
You just felt like thrown up?
Yeah.
And I just realized, I'm like, okay, well, what did I take out?
Because I've gone off of a lot of harder drugs and alcohol and stuff, so I know
what it's like to feel withdrawals, and it was a withdrawal.
So how old do you now?
I'm 43.
So when you were 33, you got on them?
Yeah.
So what was going on
