the Joe Rogan experience we could never get a normal job so my only paid job I
ever did was yeah medical trials checking into hospitals and testing out
drugs that went on the market yet yeah you did that yeah I did that for two
years would they test out on you I stopped listening you know I was like
just let him try it yeah yeah they would tell me they're like oh this could
happen this could happen and I was like just give me whatever I don't give a
fuck just give me some money Danny would have crazy like side effects it was
like yellow once yeah yeah yeah yeah he was like he was like once he was like
we're all we have ADHD we're always shaking but Danny was like once he was
like this like I went to visit him was doing like shaking and I was like here
eyes I guess side effected the drug it was it was like a muscle tremors all up
through my arm so I just couldn't physically yeah just what was that drug
I literally dude I did not listen to her that would tell me they would send all
these big pamphlets and we have to sign a bunch of shit but I would never
listen I
would never know what I was there for
I would never do have any concern about doing that no it was more excited to
get
some cash at the time 18 yeah that's the problem yeah yeah you shouldn't let 18
year olds make that decision yeah 18 to 20 is when I did it well yeah it was a
way for you to like make my eyes or and meet like people because there's a lot
of
interesting people that would go through there but I just hate injections so I
don't know I also didn't try and get over my fear for injection because once
they
take you like administer the drug they have to like get your blood every 15
minutes so like they'd put the cannulas in their arm in your arm and they just
keep
taking out blood taking out blood and just testing whether or not things would
go
wrong what was the worst side effect you got yeah he grew a third eye oh fuck I've
not didn't I I remember that it was they were administering it with like a cannula
it
was it was a drip they were dripping the injection the at the drug in and it
was
really fucking hurting and usually it doesn't hurt usually I just like take it
or
you know they would administer it I didn't really feel anything but it was
painful it was hurting it was hurting I was like oh god she's like you're right
like yeah yeah it's okay it's okay you can keep yeah that's like oh fuck that
really drills it was like felt like someone was punching my arm they missed
the vein no no it was like whatever happened was my whole arm went
paralyzed and I was like dude I I'm like I can't I can't I can't be I can't
feel my
hand I can't move my hand she's like all right well just squeeze my fingers put
a
finger there till we try and squeeze it I'm like oh I literally can't do it so
she said that I quickly take the drug out they took the drug out and I was just
sort of
sitting there with a paralyzed arm and it probably sat there for like an hour
and
once the drug had worn off I got my my feeling and you don't remember what that
drug was fuck I'm so sorry I really I could dig it up my emails probably but
yeah how many different drugs they trying you I well I did have a two two three
years so over ten drugs I'd say different things I tried it was like you go in
there for like like group like sometimes I'm like for say I was doing the work
experience and said but mine was free so Danny would do the stuff that got the
money yeah well that was the longest time I was in hospital for I could range
from
three days in hospital to two months so yeah one time I was in there for two
months for what for the drugs so you just stayed in the hospital for two months
while they administer drugs yeah yeah and then they pretty much just wait to
see
what the side effects are gonna be if they think you have to sleep in the
hospital and stay there yeah you just stay there how much they pay you for
something like that 150 bucks a day 120 bucks a day between Australian so so
what
is that hundred us or something like that less than that yeah $90 USD a day for
months yeah once two months but yeah it is crazy like there was that famous
case I
don't know if it was in where it was but the the patients because they do it
like
you know where they'll test one person and half an hour later test another than
another right and then people started dying off and like then he was like going
down the line because like someone died half an hour later they died that was
like a freaking the last guy and they go and they go look look yeah you're
about to
fucking die yeah look no there's this side effect you're coming people died
what I
don't know I don't know what story specifically this guy's talking about but
the trials that I was checking to no one died the worst one I heard of was they
test it on mice before they test it on the humans and they had to bring
everyone back into the trial and say hey guys and I heard this from a friend
that
recommended the trials to me he's like guys we don't want anyone to worry but
some of the mice have gone blind and yeah so everyone was sort of waiting to
see if
someone was gonna fuck up their site but this was after you'd already gotten
the
drug yeah well it was afraid this is a friend's experience yeah they'd had the
drug and they brought everyone back in like a week later and they said some of
the mice have gone blind Jesus yeah yeah but you know what was the best part is
when the best part was when the best part is when the drug goes wrong and then
you
get to leave early because you'd have to stay for the two months like this drug
is
too dangerous we're not gonna test it and then you get paid for the full amount
that makes no sense the drug goes wrong yeah so like that one when they
administered it and my whole arm went paralyzed they realized they couldn't
administer that drug to everyone else so the trial got called off but you got
paid for the full month no long-term side effects no I don't know I've never
really questioned it until you're looking at me like I'm crazy come on man
what's what's it's just the drug if you pay attention to drug trials and yeah
how
many drugs get approved and then pulled because they find I'm just just after
approval yeah and you're way before approval yeah yeah guinea pig I was yeah
I was a guinea pig he was a guinea pig after the guinea pigs yeah well yeah it
was
it was yeah it's a little bit of a safety net to be like oh it's tried on
hamsters before yeah mmm but yeah it was it was pretty dodgy but it was any way
that I
could make money
Thank you.
