Joe Rogan Experience #2143 - Tulsi Gabbard

Joe Rogan Podcast, check it out.
The Joe Rogan Experience.
Train by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day.
Cheers.
Here we go.
My friend.
This is the second time we ever worked out together.
I know.
I feel great.
It was awesome, right?
It was great.
It's a great way to get the day started.
It was perfect, actually.
We do these, the comedian boot camps.
We did it today, we did it with Hassan and Derek and Shane, Shane Gillis.
And we have fun.
So you get the workout in and you talk a lot of shit and you get silly.
It's really fun.
It's just like real silly.
Yeah.
You know, we have a good time.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Thanks for the invite.
Oh, my pleasure.
I've been on the road for, I don't know, for weeks.
And so, you know, if you're lucky, you get a decent hotel gym.
Right.
But you got to be really creative.
Yeah.
Most of them, the best they'll have are dumbbells and, you know, that's it.
I just realized you're the second celebrity to do that with us and the second
Hawaiian.
Because The Rock did it.
So it's like, there's something going on.
Samoan pride here.
Something going on with the Hawaiians coming here.
We'll have to figure out, you know, Max Holloway is Hawaiian and Samoan, too.
He didn't work out, though.
Max, last time he was here, he was just off of his win.
Yeah, he gets a break after that, man.
Wow.
Yeah, take some time off, bro.
That, I was telling you, like, the sauna, I am definitely, like, from the
islands because I'm okay with heat.
So 20 minutes in the sauna was good.
It was challenging, but it was good.
Yeah.
The cold, however.
That ice bath.
I've done that, like, a quick polar plunge briefly, jumping in, jumping out.
And that one was at the lowest setting in terms of the jets of water.
Okay.
So what we have is called a blue cube, and blue cube is the type of cold plunge
that has an engine in it that you can turn on to higher levels of waves.
So if you turn it, like, to the highest level, it's just rushing at you like a
river.
Is that better or worse?
Horrible.
Okay.
It's horrible because you never develop a thermal barrier.
Oh, okay.
So if you can just, like, cold, all cold water immersion is very good for you.
It's good for cold shock proteins, norepinephrine, mood stabilization, makes
you feel better.
Right.
All those things are good.
But the still cold is much more tolerable for whatever reason.
I don't know what's better for you.
See, that's the question.
Like, is it better?
Is it just as good and more tolerable?
Or is it better to be more, to suffer for the full three minutes?
Because if you turn that bitch on.
Suffer more.
Is the benefit proportional to the suffering is really the question, right?
I'm not sure.
I'm not sure if you suffer more, if you get more benefit.
Or if there's a point where you're actually hurting your body.
Right.
You know, like, maybe there's a point.
I mean, obviously, if you stay in the cold water too long, you'll die.
That's what hypothermia is.
Yeah.
So, but there's a level where if you just get a few minutes in, it's really
good for you.
So I don't know if it's better if you're miserable.
Yeah, right.
I don't know.
But if you want to test your mind, that blue cube is the one to do.
Because that sucker gets fast.
That sucker gets like a river.
So you're just laying in there and it's like shit.
An assault of cold water.
The moment it sucks, like when you climb in, that moment never changes.
That's the difference.
Because in a regular cold plunge, after a while, you develop like this thermal
barrier.
And even though it sucks, it only sucks like 80% of what it sucked when you
first got in.
Yeah.
With the blue cube, it's 100% sucked.
The whole ride sucked.
Every time.
Suck, suck, suck, suck.
It just sucks.
So it sounds like you got to try it at least once.
Yeah.
And figure it out.
Well, you did the, just doing it the way you did it for three minutes.
Like I said, the first time I did it, I did like a minute and 24 seconds.
I was like, oh.
Well, I couldn't chicken out in front of all the guys.
You know what I mean?
It's like when Hassan says, well, I did it three minutes to show up for the
rocks.
Like, okay, I'm not going to be the one who chickens out at a minute.
Yeah.
That's not an option.
Well, you did it.
You did it.
No, it was good.
It was good.
It was very challenging.
It was good.
We don't have a cold punch.
It's like, okay, I'm not going to go and like find bags of ice every single day
from 7-Eleven
and dump in the bathtub.
So I just, when I can, I just like dump my face in ice cubes and water.
That's good too.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, that'll wake you up.
Yeah.
All that stuff's good.
There's some pretty recently priced options for coolers that you could actually
do in a
bathtub now.
So there's a bunch of different ways you should do it.
But if you've got the scratch, like one of these blue cubes or something
similar, Morosco
makes a really good one too.
They're really good.
Yeah.
I can see how that feeling, the after feeling gets kind of addictive.
I'm sure someone will reach out to you and try to get you to use their shit.
It's very good though.
Yeah.
But it's also like the camaraderie, the fun.
For sure.
Have fun, listen to music.
For sure.
Laugh a lot.
Exactly.
Yeah.
This is perfect.
Yeah.
It's a good way to get a podcast started.
Yeah.
Oh, and by the way, congratulations to the marijuana enjoyers of the world
because the
DEA officially rescheduled marijuana.
They're going to reschedule it to schedule three.
Wow.
Which still, it shouldn't be illegal.
Yes.
We know that.
I agree.
But baby steps.
Yeah.
You know, the fact that it's making progress at all just shows that the, you
know, the collective
will of the people is being heard, at least somewhat.
There was, I'm trying to remember who it was.
Somebody was telling me that like the decriminalization crew, they gave an
American flag made out of
hemp to a member of Congress to fly above the Capitol.
Because it's a normal thing like, you know, I would get people when I was in
Congress calling
and saying, hey, it's, you know, my friend is retiring from the military from
30 years.
Can you fly a flag in honor of him or her?
And so you get a little certificate with it.
And this, like, there are many flags that go up and down every day that are
given as gifts
to people.
So someone did it with a flag, American flag made out of hemp.
And apparently it caused major problems within the DEA and within the
administration saying,
how dare you?
How could anyone allow this to happen?
It made zero sense whatsoever.
But it just pointed to the backwards mindset and thinking and the sensitivity
within the
DEA and the government around cannabis, hemp, marijuana.
It just seems a massive lack of education, too.
It's not as simple as, you know, you're thinking of it in connection to
marijuana.
It's hemp is a commodity that has existed forever.
In fact, canvas that writers paint on or that painters, artists paint on, that,
the original
word canvas came from cannabis.
It was made out of hemp.
They made hemp paper as a better paper.
They made hemp clothing.
It's far superior to cotton.
The only reason why they, this is where it gets weird.
There's a bunch of things that took place that took hemp away from being a
common source
of paper and clothing.
But one of them was making slavery illegal because before they came out with
the decorticator,
what the primary way they used to process hemp fiber was really painstaking
because it's
a, it's an incredible plant.
Yeah.
It's a very light plant, but it's insanely durable.
Like hemp clothing is so much more durable.
Like I have a hemp jujitsu gi from Datsura and that sucker never rips.
Yeah.
My cotton gis, they're good for like, you know, you wear them for like six
months, a year.
They're going to, the shit starts going.
Even like really strong, stable cotton threads start going.
These hemp gis are like, they're invincible.
It's crazy.
And hemp paper is so difficult to tear.
It's like a completely different kind of paper.
Makes no sense.
Yeah.
It's an amazing rope.
It's like, you could use it to make concrete.
They make hemp.
Have you seen that where they make houses with it?
Yeah.
My, my dad is a state Senator in Hawaii.
He's the chair of the agriculture committee.
And for years, he's been the state's biggest advocate for hemp as an economic
driver and,
and to try to help revive agriculture in Hawaii.
And so he's talked endlessly about the houses and just everything, all of the
different benefits
of hemp.
He's got some hemp aloha shirts and, and the whole deal.
The, the, the, this, this thing that you're talking about though, the, the
federal government
and the classification is the biggest barrier to this actually becoming, um, a
really viable
and thriving industry in our country because people are growing crops of, of
hemp, but they've
got to go through all of this crazy THC testing.
And I've talked to people who are, who are farmers and business people who are
investing
in this and they've had to throw like entire crops away because of, I don't
know the details
about the testing, but it, it just, you know, one plus one doesn't equal two
when you look
at the reality of the benefits of hemp and the, the farming process and the
concerns that
they have within the DEA.
So is the concern of it has any level of THC at all becomes illegal, even if
you're just
processing it as a commodity and you're not using it?
Right.
Correct.
But did they understand like, it's very valuable as a commodity.
Yes.
This is what's so, it's so stupid.
This, this whole thing is stupid because we're always concerned about, and
rightly so, about
cutting down forests to make paper.
Right.
Right.
Well, guess what?
Hemp paper, you can grow an entire, like, first of all, it's much more viable.
You have much more product.
It's much more durable and you can regrow it quick.
Exactly.
It just grows right back again.
Right.
Whereas trees takes years and years to grow them back.
Hemp, you got another season.
Whoop.
Yeah.
Okay.
Here's the hemp plant.
Grows crazy fast, super light, super durable.
Yeah.
Just got to think about it as a commodity and stop connecting it to marijuana.
Exactly.
And you're going, well, this is invaluable because this could solve a lot of
our problems,
especially with deforestation.
And then if you look at it for building materials, like, wait, this might be
the greatest building
material we can use.
Yep.
It's incredible insulation.
Yep.
It's very durable and strong.
And, again, renewable, like, instantaneously.
It grows so quick.
Yeah.
What's interesting, I mean, for us in Hawaii, I mean, tourism is the biggest
economic driver
we have.
And every time there's, you know, in the post 9-11 when people weren't
traveling so much
during COVID, when everything shut down, businesses go out of business.
Small businesses are driven out because if they don't have that driver.
So the conversation always comes up about, okay, well, we've got to diversify
our economy.
And this is one of those areas that has huge potential for a small island state
like ours in Hawaii.
And what's interesting is Mitch McConnell, I believe he's from Kentucky, their
state is also a state that is promoting hemp as a major agriculture driver.
So there's opportunity there, but it requires a lot more education from those
both in the administration
and in Congress to actually take down those barriers and allow it to actually
truly be an industry in America.
When we first started selling hemp protein and on it, we used to have to get it
from Canada.
You can sell it in America.
Can't grow it here.
I was like, what?
It's just food.
It's just hemp seeds.
It's really good for you.
It's like full of amino acids and rich in protein.
And they're like, no, can't grow it.
That shit's illegal.
You know what's nuts, too, is the military, people who are on active duty in
the military, they can't put hemp seeds in their smoothie.
They can't use any CBD bomb that you can buy at the freaking gas station or
anything at all.
CBD b
