- The Joe Rogan experience.
- I feel bad for like this next generation
because I don't even think they realize
you know, what's happening with that.
It's just that addiction to your phone.
That's really what I think it's gonna be
is eventually we're gonna,
everyone's gonna have this sort of opinion and attitude
'cause people are starting to get wind of it
that it's bad to be on your phone that much.
And I think just parents are gonna just start saying like,
yeah, no, you can't be on a fucking cell phone all day.
You can't be, and I think it comes down to us.
I think we have to make a decision to do that with our kids.
- Yeah, you gotta teach them discipline for sure,
but also recognize that everyone is using these things
and it's a part of civilization now.
I really feel like if we could see the writing on the wall,
we would be terrified.
I think human beings are,
we're slipping into some weird place where we're for sure
within the next few years gonna be connected to computers.
- Oh yeah. - How we're gonna do it,
I don't know how they're gonna do it.
Whether it's something you wear or something that's in you,
but it's coming kids.
And it's almost like all these things are falling in line
at the same time.
Like all these endocrine disruptors and plastics
that are fucking up people's reproductive systems.
And then at the same time,
we're all getting addicted to phones and not as personal.
You know, because people aren't really communicating,
hanging out, just talking to each other
without checking their phone every five seconds.
- Dude, it's gonna be, the future's gonna be us looking at each other
and downloading each other's thoughts.
- Oh, 100%. - Fucking,
'cause you could air drop pictures and shit now.
It's literally gonna be like, here, take this picture,
just with a fucking thought.
- Yeah. - And 100% is gonna happen.
They're already doing shit, right?
They're already making devices that can go in your body
that connect to other shit.
I'm sure it's so much more advanced than we even know.
Think about how much we don't know, right?
There's gotta be some crazy shit going on out there.
- For sure. - Some really unethical shit.
- Some DARPA shit that's going on right now.
Hey, what is, what was that thing--
- I wanna see Elon Musk's basement,
the experiments that he has going on right now.
- It's probably 18 miles deep.
What is that thing they did where they recorded
human thoughts?
Like someone was watching something
and they got a recording of that
from something this person was wearing.
- I saw it, I saw it.
- Yeah, bro, that is, that is like, just think.
Morse code was not that long ago.
- Yeah.
- It's wild.
- That was not that long ago.
- Yeah, and it seems like technology will just move.
Now with AI, it's just moving faster and faster and faster.
It's like, it's really cool, but it's also fucking terrifying.
That's the shit that I'm terrified.
Fuck asteroids, dude.
This shit that we're talking about right now
is the shit that keeps me up at night.
- No, is this it?
Scientists recorded a Pink Floyd song
from patients' brain waves.
Yeah, this is it.
The tech could eventually allow
for communication without words.
What?
100%, if these eggheads keep going, we're fucked.
- Oh yeah, dude.
We're gonna be doing crazy shit.
That's the really like, and then you gotta figure like,
it's gonna be who's rich, who has the best, you know,
computer built into their body.
Because the same guy who can afford, you know,
a fucking Lamborghini is gonna have a super brain, you know?
And his computer is gonna be faster than your computer.
He's gonna be able to download and upload information
faster than you.
It's kind of wild.
- Well, you're gonna have to be an early adopter, right?
You would have to be like one of the people who gets the brain operation first.
And then you'd be like way ahead of everybody.
- Yeah, but that first one's gonna fuck.
That first one's gonna fuck up, dude.
- The night before the operation, are you sure this is gonna work, Harry?
Harry, look me in the eye.
You're gonna cut into my brain.
Are you sure?
I'm pretty sure.
I don't want it here, pretty sure, Harry.
- Yeah, dude.
Any, dude, it's fucking nuts.
That's like those people on that,
that went on that, you know, the fucking submarine thing.
- Yeah. - The Titanic, dude.
It's like, what a cool thing that must have been to like sign up for.
You're like, dude, we're gonna go to see the Titanic.
And then, that's fucking wild, dude.
That could have been you, Joe.
You could have been down on that thing, no?
- Not a fucking chance in hell.
- Was it Mr. Beast?
He said that they invited him to go do it.
- I am not hopping in that fucking backyard smoker
and dropping into the bottom of the ocean.
- Would you go to space?
- Get the fuck out of here.
- Right now, in like one of these charters?
- No fucking chance, son.
- You love space.
- Those things blow up.
You have to go real fast to go into space, kid.
Those things blow up.
I'm not interested.
Not until they get that shit down like an electric car.
When they get a spaceship that moves like a Tesla,
just .
- Yeah.
- Okay, I'm in.
- Yeah, just not worth it.
- I get it.
Look, starry nights are beautiful.
I get it.
- Yeah.
- I get it.
I get you'd want to go out, get real high and come back down.
I'm good.
You can fucking keep that.
I trust that it's up there.
I don't have to jump at the top of a cliff.
I'm good.
I'll just sit down and look at it from here.
Like even as high as we get, like what we're calling space.
Like, look, we've made it into space.
We're like fucking that far off the Earth's surface.
- Yeah.
- There's so much out there.
- Is that what those tours are?
You just go into space for a second?
- Yeah, you just go and come back down.
Like you don't like go to space space.
- No, I want to go land on the moon.
I want to check out Mars.
- You're not going to Jupiter.
- Yeah.
Fucking dodge some fucking asteroids.
- You know what I bet they will be able to do?
Probably really soon is to give you a VR representation
of what it would be like to travel through space.
- Oh, I bet it already exists.
I went, I had, yeah, there was a NASA thing
that I had on my Oculus.
- Yeah, that was good.
- It was super cool.
I mean, it was like, it was just a movie essentially.
It wasn't like, I didn't get to like free move,
but it was like I was on like a space station type thing.
So you were like moving all over.
It was really, really cool.
- Is this it?
- No.
- What is this, Jamie?
- I just looked up space, trip to outer space.
That's the first thing that popped up.
- Get the fuck out of here.
- Joe, you would go in that.
- What is this?
- This is a space elevator and it's going to fall
and everyone.
- It's a balloon.
- Okay.
- So you got a little bit of extra.
- Bro, I am not going in a fucking balloon.
- How comfortable it looks.
- What if it gets hit by an asteroid?
- Looks like your studio, Joe.
- Oh my God, it does.
Podcast hit a balloon.
- No rockets, no G-Force.
- No, listen, they have to do it a thousand times
before I even think about doing it.
- A six hour journey.
- Fails, cocktails.
- Six hour journey in a space.
- See, that's crazy if it's...
- Bro, I am not going up there.
- Perfect place for podcasts.
- Perfect place to fall to your death.
- Like how many, how many fucking fail safes?
- Do you do nothing like dangerous?
- I'm sure, I should say for the record,
I'm sure it's safe.
- Yeah.
Do you do anything dangerous like...
- Dollars.
- A hundred, a hundred twenty-five.
- A hundred and twenty-five thousand?
- A hundred and twenty-five thousand?
- A hundred and twenty-five thousand?
- Oh, what?
- Wow.
- A refundable deposit.
- So a hundred and twenty-five grand
to go up in a balloon.
- Yeah.
- You know, I hope it works.
- In six hours, I feel like,
that's kind of disappointing.
I feel like space should be
more than six hours away in a balloon.
- Dude, I'm scared of anything
that people are trying out,
like flying cars.
I'm like, just drive that for a while.
You drive it for a while.
- Yeah, dude.
- I'll be over here.
- Dude, even like just the self-driving cars
that fucking,
like you hear about once in a while
they'll just fucking go haywire.
Like mistakes happen.
- Yes, mistakes happen.
- And then you're just in a car
that you can't fucking stop
and it's like mowing people down.
It's a nightmare.
- I never, I have a Tesla.
I never put the self-driving on.
- Yeah.
- I mean, I do sometimes
when I'm on the highway
just for goofies.
- Yeah.
- And it just drives itself,
but I keep my hands on it.
- So it completely self-drives.
- Yeah, completely self-drives.
Up to a point,
but I don't let it.
You know, it's just,
it's just to me,
it's just like,
I'd rather just be really tuned
into what I'm doing
and paying attention.
- Yeah.
Thank you.
