The Joe Rogan Experience.
What do you think is the most difficult of all these things you've ever done?
Maybe the ice.
Just on the mind.
Yeah, that one was the worst one. I would never do that again.
How long did it take your brain to recover from that?
The brain recovers pretty fast. I think after one night's sleep I was okay.
Really?
The brain, yeah.
So no more hallucinations.
Yeah, but also I was, yeah, it was bad.
I would worry about something like that, that I would open up a door that I
could never close.
Yeah, that would be horrible.
That would be like in a horror movie that would happen?
That's why I don't mess with sleep deprivation.
I tried to mess with that. It's scary.
Yeah.
I think it's a very effective form of torture. I think in North Korea they did
that to the Americans, extreme sleep deprivation.
I think that tweaked them the worst.
Oh, I'm sure we do it too.
Yeah.
Guantanamo Bay?
Yeah, sleep deprivation is horrific.
Yeah.
Isn't it crazy?
It's horrible.
Because that's one you wouldn't even think of as torture. And when people think
of it as torture, they think of pain. You know, they don't think of just like
making someone stay awake.
Well, but that's, isn't that Chinese water torture? They just drip water in
your face?
I don't think that one's so bad.
Really?
I don't think so.
I heard it's pretty bad.
I don't know.
I think there's something about it that just keeps you awake. And it's just
nuts because you're just, the drip and like it being irregular intervals.
I think you get microsleep.
I don't know. I don't think so. Maybe just try that one.
Do you want to see this trick?
I would love to see this trick. What do you got?
Well, it's a simple one, but it's a new one.
So, I just used some thread, but I might need your help.
Okay.
Do you want to come closer?
Okay, I'll come over there.
Yeah? Should I move over? Or you can come here?
I'll come over there.
Should I slide to the left or something?
So, first, I'll show you the trick version.
Wait, can I take this off?
Yeah.
So, first, I'll show you the trick version of it.
Okay.
Which is just like this.
For the people just listening at home, he folded over a little loop in a piece
of thread.
Yeah.
And he's putting it in his mouth and swallowing it.
He's chewing on the thread.
Now he's drinking water.
Yeah.
I think it's...
Here, wait.
Hold on.
So, this is the trick version.
You see, you get...
See, you can pull.
I don't know if you can...
See, can you...
Do you want to just pull it?
Pull the thread?
Yeah.
So, you have a thread that you've stuck in your body.
Yeah, pull it.
See?
Uh-huh.
So, that's the trick version.
That's a thread that he just had embedded in his skin.
But, hold on.
Here's a different version.
Actually, wait.
Instead, I'll do it this way.
So, you can see what's actually happening.
Wait.
Will you grab here?
The one under your chin?
Yeah.
Okay, so now he's got a thread coming out from under his chin.
Pull it up a little.
Okay.
Pull it down.
It's through his mouth and through the bottom of his mouth and out his chin.
And pull.
Want to pull it out?
Yeah.
Okay.
So, that's something that I learned in India.
So, you just essentially use a needle and shove it through the bottom of your
jaw.
And people think it's coming out of your mouth.
Yeah.
It's pretty good, though.
It is pretty good.
I'm going to go to the other side.
So, there's a book called Swami Mantra.
And how are you getting it into your chest?
Well, first I'll tell you.
There's a book called Swami Mantra, which is a collection of pamphlets of
secrets of what the Fakirs were doing in India.
So, there was a trick that I saw a magician do when I was a kid.
And he ate a thread and he pulled it out of his stomach.
And I was with a bunch of amazing magicians and we were all blown away and in
shock.
But I cornered the guy and convinced him to teach me the secret.
So, then I started playing with it.
And then just now when I was in India meeting street magicians and finding all
these performers, I went to a festival.
And they do all these extreme things I have never seen before.
Like they push the ice pick skewer type thing through their neck, through their
neck.
And so, I suddenly had an idea and I was like, wait, maybe there's a way.
And then it becomes a magic trick.
But you're seeing the early phase of it.
Okay.
Yeah.
Sometimes I get nervous that like, you know, obviously anything could go wrong.
You could, you know.
Yeah.
Start squirting blood.
Like it happened last time.
Yeah.
But I promised you there was going to be no blood.
Thank you.
