- The Joe Rogan experience.
- You're dealing with someone,
a company like, say, Instagram.
How many people do they, let's guess,
how many people are on Instagram?
What do you think?
- Well, there's 350 million people in the country, right?
- But in the world, Instagram is worldwide.
- Yeah, billions.
- How many people do you think, two billion?
What do you think?
- Three billion.
- I'll say two, what do you think?
How many people do you think are on?
- It's probably about one.
- One billion?
- But daily active users would be less too.
- Let's find out how many accounts are on Instagram.
Let's Google that.
How many individual accounts are on Instagram?
I'm saying two billion.
What do you think, Jamie?
You say one, you say like two, three?
- Yeah, three.
- Facebook's the most and it's not over two billion yet.
- Oh, it isn't?
- I'm pretty sure.
- I thought it was.
Facebook's from worldwide.
- Yeah.
- Facebook changes elections in places, like that's crazy.
- Right.
- I had Zuckerberg on and you could tell,
like having a conversation with that guy.
- Dang, I'm off.
Instagram is 2.35 billion active users.
- Wow, that's you.
- Wow.
- That's you.
- Wow, that's crazy.
That's a lot of people, man.
- Yeah, I guess it would be hard for them to field,
I guess it would be hard for them to field like complaints or whatever.
- Meanwhile, that's fourth amongst the biggest
social media networks globally.
So what's number one?
Facebook's number one, 2.9 billion.
YouTube is 2.2 billion.
I don't really consider YouTube social media, not that much.
- Right.
- Because maybe it is, I guess it is, but I don't use it that way.
I use it for entertainment.
- Yeah.
- If I'm watching YouTube, I'm watching stuff like fights or-
- Clips, yeah.
- WhatsApp is 2 billion.
Well, WhatsApp is a communication app.
I don't think that's social media.
- No.
Instagram, 2.35.
TikTok, TikTok's only one billion?
That's interesting.
I would've thought it was way more.
- I think it is.
- I think it's on the rise, though.
Isn't TikTok like a thing?
And then Instagram Reels is competing with it, right?
- Where's Twitter?
Where's Twitter in that?
- I feel like Twitter's never been in the top 10.
- Really?
But it's not even in the top, oh, it's way down there.
397 million, wow.
Look at all these ones that are fucking way more.
Like Pinterest?
- Pinterest is 475 million?
Reddit, look at Reddit, 430 million, woo!
- I'm not on Reddit at all.
- Reddit's chaos, Jesus Christ.
I know guys will go on Reddit and they read about themselves
and they go down a dark road.
- They get their feelings hurt bad.
- Oh, there's a bunch of intelligent vipers on Reddit.
- Facebook runs the top five, three of the top five,
which is a little strange 'cause they've split 'em all up
and there could just be one app.
- Well, you know-
- Facebook Messenger could just be Facebook.
- Yeah, that's true.
- Wasn't that one of the things that they asked ChatGPT?
Like, do you think that Facebook is a monopoly
and should it be broken up?
- I mean, absolutely.
- They said yes.
- Yeah, what did Zuckerberg say?
- Well, I didn't ask him about that.
No, but for him it was interesting
because he's a very nice guy.
- Yeah.
- And you know, people think of him as like a robot
and I think he's not that at all.
He's a guy who created this thing a long ass time ago
with no anticipation of what it was going to become.
And then it became this fucking worldwide monster.
- Right.
- This thing that's just, it's so big.
- Yeah.
- And you know, he's a pretty interesting guy
and very forthcoming he was explaining
like about how the FBI contacted him
about the Hunter Biden laptop.
- Yeah.
- And explained it on the podcast
that it created a firestorm of controversy.
- I'm sure, I'm sure.
- Because he was just kind of casually explaining,
well, the FBI told us that there was going to be
some disinformation coming out of Russia.
And you know, we were told that this and that.
And so we limited its reach
and then just was fucking giant news.
Like that this is, I mean,
this guy just created a fucking dating site
for college kids.
- Right.
- You know, X amount of years ago.
- But he was instrumental in growing it though too.
You know what I mean?
And with that comes like bad stuff, obviously,
you know, not just the good parts of it.
- And also, I mean, most recently
he took a big blunder with that whole meta thing
where they thought that everybody was going to put on headsets
and delve into the metaverse.
- Oh yeah.
- And that shit didn't work at all.
- No, why?
- It's too weird.
- Yeah.
- Like I love VR.
- I mean, that's close to, I mean, that will mess.
I mean, you want to talk about social media
fucking with your mind.
Like that meta stuff, like in a alternate reality.
We all just live in,
you're basically getting closer to just being in a pod.
You know what I mean?
And having that on.
- Yes.
- You know, as your reality.
It's going to happen.
- Yeah.
- It's going to happen.
It's just like, look, when I was a kid in the 1980s
and nineties, there was--
- Ah, good times.
- Good times.
But there was times back then where people thought
virtual reality was going to be the future,
but the technology wasn't available.
It didn't really work.
But it was always this thought, you know,
that one day we're going to live in virtual reality.
And that was the matrix.
That was like all these different things,
but it was like science fiction-y enough
that it was so far ahead.
And then the technology was kind of clunky.
So it never really took off.
But then when Oculus came around and what were the other ones?
It was, there was another big one other than Oculus.
- Vive.
- Vive, that's right.
The HTC Vive that they were, they were so good.
You're like, Ooh, maybe we're close.
And there's, there's some fun fucking games
you can play on that.
Apparently there's an alien, like alien one, the movie game
that is fucking terrifying and you play it.
And you're on the Nostromo, that, that spaceship.
- Yeah.
- And the fucking aliens in the spaceship.
- Right.
- And you know, you're going down dark corridors
and rain's dripping and, you know,
and the thing just jumps out at you.
It's fucking terrifying, apparently.
But that, for whatever reason,
they thought that was just going to just sweep the whole country
and everyone was going to-
- And it was a virtual reality mask that you put on?
- The Oculus is.
- Over your eyes, yeah.
- Yeah, the Oculus, it's very light.
The new one is very light.
Like the old ones, we had the HTC Vive at the studio
and it had to be attached to a backpack
and there was like a cable that came above you
and we had the cable suspended from the ceiling
so we had like a sectioned off area
where you could play in it.
And then it got better and Carmack,
John Carmack got involved and, you know,
they made even better versions of it
and then it became something that you just sit on your head.
And then when that happened, I was like,
Oh boy, we're, we're getting close now.
Cause now it just sits in your head
and you have these two controllers in your hand,
but it's still just people are not that interested in it,
which is interesting.
- That's good.
I think, I think it's a good thing not to be on it.
- I think it's going to be the future.
I think there's going to,
it's going to be something that's so wonderful
and so exciting that you can't get out of it.
- It's going to be weird how it morphs with your mind.
It's going to eventually morph with your mind, right?
So it'll be like part of you kind of,
that's where we kind of morph into the robot world, I guess.
- That's happening.
It's going to happen.
It's just a matter of like, what is it?
10 years, 20 years, whatever it is.
But technology is going to reach a point where it's so,
look, no one ever would have thought
that you would have a thing in your pocket
where you couldn't stop looking at it.
- Right.
I'm still, I'm still amazed by it.
Like I'm in New York, you know, and I'm watching people
just walk down the street with it on,
and they're not conscious of anything else that is going on.
And they're just walking down the street.
- New York's fucking dangerous.
- It's dangerous, there's cars that could hit you.
It's like all the day.
They're just walking down the street, just immersed in it.
Actually, if you're on the subway and you're not on it,
if you're just staring forward, like you're the weird one.
- Mm-hmm.
- You're the weird one.
- Yeah.
- Everybody else is like, what's this guy doing?
- You get on the subway with a book.
Like what are you, who the fuck is this guy?
- Throwback.
- You're reading a book?
- Yeah.
- A real book?
- Yeah.
- It's not even a Kindle?
- Yeah, it's unreal.
It's unreal.
- Yeah, it's a--
- I have the books on my phone now,
so I'm reading it on my phone.
That's amazing to me, I think.
- Yeah.
- To have all that information, just a library.
- Oh yeah.
- With a library app, you can just download books
from the library on your phone and read them
and return them.
- Yeah.
- It's just, that's fantastic.
- Well, I have most of the books that I consume,
I consume audio books, on the way to work,
coming home from work, in the sauna.
That's where I do most of my listening to books.
And I probably have 200, 300 books--
- That's great.
- On this little tiny phone.
- It's unreal.
- And they're all hours long.
- Yeah.
- Like, it's a terabyte of data on that phone.
So there's so much room.
And also, it just stores it in the cloud anyway.
- Right.
- So if there's no room, it's in the cloud.
- Right.
- Then you download it, and it's fucking,
there's never been a time that you could have
more access to information.
But there's also never been a time where you're more distracted.
- Yeah, that's the rub.
That's the rub.
But if you're focused on the information, man,
it's like, it's college.
It's basically a college in your pocket.
- Yeah.
- It's unbelievable.
And people listening might be like, what do you, you know,
'cause people grew up with this, but we didn't.
Like, I knew a time where this didn't exist at all.
Like, me and my brother had a room together.
It was both of us, no TV allowed in the room,
dinner together at a certain time.
Unless you're working or you're at a sports practice,
you're having dinner.
My father's playing music while we have dinner.
We're talking about our day.
And then when we go to sleep, it's like a room,
no television, 'cause he didn't want us in our room
watching television on our own.
You wanna watch television, you're out with the family.
- Right.
- You know, it's that kind of thing.
So, I guess, you know, it's a different world.
- Yes.
- And it's been a gradual thing,
but it's still very, very different.
Like, I don't have kids, so I don't know how that would be.
But I guess, I mean, like, what you do,
what you implement with your children.
- It's difficult.
- Sounds like the right thing.
- They get mad at you.
- Yeah.
- Put your phone down.
- Yeah.
- They get mad because that little dopamine rush,
and it's not even a big rush.
- Right.
- That's what's weird.
It's like this little drip of dopamine.
- Yeah.
- Blipp, blip, blip, blip.
But you like, there's this pull.
Like, what, is anybody texting me?
- Yeah.
- Anybody, what's going on?
I see some people on the podcast.
They can't help, but they reach for their phone.
- Yeah, that's the thing.
- Like, they just check their text messages.
- And this is your podcast.
- And it's giant.
There's millions of people watching.
- Yes.
- Someone just look at their phone.
- It's nuts.
- But they can't help it.
They just get so sucked in.
- I've done it to the point where it's like,
when I first get up, I make sure I don't look at it,
and do other things first.
And then I set time aside and I mentally prepare myself.
I go, okay, now I'm going to look at it.
I'm going to look at it.
I'm going to do as much as I want for 15 minutes.
Check everything.
Make sure everything's up.
Check the comments.
And now that the special is out,
like, respond to people as much as I can.
And then after that window is over, not again.
- Yeah, that's good.
- Now the trick is YouTube,
because I like to watch stuff on YouTube,
but it's like, I don't want to get addicted
to scrolling on YouTube either.
- Right.
- So that's the difference there.
- I'm definitely addicted to watching stuff on YouTube.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, when I have breakfast, I fucking,
I got this little, it's pretty cool,
this little kickstand thing that sticks up your phone.
- Oh, that's great.
- I think this is called a coup case or something like that.
I forget what it's called, but it's like, bam.
So I just sit there.
- That's great.
- And I watch stuff while I'm eating.
- Right.
- You know, and I think I'm not addicted that way.
Oh, I'm just being here.
- But that's YouTube.
You're watching, you're watching substance there
instead of mindlessly scrolling,
which is what I was doing.
And it just, that creates so many bad,
like, emotions and stuff.
It's like, I don't want, I don't want to feel that way.
- Isn't that weird that mindlessly scrolling
creates bad emotions?
Like, what is that?
Why does it do that?
Is it just, you feel like you're wasting time?
- You're wasting time.
You're seeing a bunch of different things,
like, you know, the energy coming from the thing.
I'm a big energy guy too.
It's like the energy coming from it is,
it hits.
Even when you're looking at your,
I tried that for a while,
looking at my own stuff.
I'll just look at my own stuff.
I won't look at everybody's stuff,
but then you start getting like,
how many likes does this have?
How many?
It's like, you end up,
yeah, you end up swimming in your own narcissism.
So it's like, no, stop that now.
- Yes, absolutely.
- But if I'm, my point is I'm navigating this at 50,
when my mind has already been developed,
what chance do kids have developing through this time period?
- It's a different world, but I think they're going to be fine.
I really do.
I think there's going to be a transitionary period where we lose a lot of kids.
They don't, they don't know what the they're doing and they get lost in it.
But there's going to be enough kids that recognize like,
okay, this is just the new reality of life.
And if you want to be successful,
just like you, when you were young,
when you had focus and dedication,
you realize there's a lot of people out that don't do that.
And you know, I can learn from them what not to do.
- Right.
- There's kids that are doing that now too.
And like, I have friends that very much limit their kids' access to social
media.
They don't allow them on things.
They don't allow them to have a phone.
- Right.
- I don't think that's the way to do it because this is a reality.
And I think that if you give the kids the tools and the understanding to handle
that,
this is a new level of adversity that they have to deal with that we didn't
have to deal with.
- Right.
- But it's the way I look at it, it's like cold weather.
Like if you grew up in a place with cold weather,
you developed an understanding of what the fuck that means.
Like you got to shovel snow, you got to deal with it.
And I think they have a new level of adversity.
- Right.
- Because of the pressures of social media and because of like the shit talking.
- Right.
- Especially with girls, man.
- Right.
- Girls are fucking mean to each other.
- Yeah.
- They reputation destruct.
- Yes.
- In the comments and the shit on each other and group chats.
And it's just, it gets real nasty.
And you developed a level of resilience from being able to handle that.
- Right.
- And after a while you get okay with it.
And you have to understand what that is, but not everybody.
- Yeah, you have to understand what that is.
- Yeah.
- And it's, you're right.
You're like going in with that mindset is the important thing.
- It is.
- But if you're just caught off guard with it.
- Yeah.
- Then it can crush you.
And it has.
- Mm-hmm.
- It's driven people to suicide.
- It definitely has done that.
And there's also a thing, the FOMO aspect and the, um, the comparison.
And this is apparently very bad with girls as well, because there's a lot of
people that are using filters and
they're changing their body and these girls see these people and they look
perfect.
And then they see themselves in the mirror and they have zits and they look
like
shit and maybe they're a little overweight and they get massively depressed.
- Right.
- And then they think, well, the only way for me, I have to be like that person.
- Right.
- So I have to do what they're doing and be completely focused on my looks.
And, and some people just, unfortunately through a genetic roll of the dice,
they don't have good
features.
- Right.
- They don't, they don't look good.
They don't have a good body.
- Right.
- And then they just feel fucking depressed because they're comparing
themselves to this thing.

- It's dangerous, there's cars that could hit you.
It's like all the day.
They're just walking down the street, just immersed in it.
Actually, if you're on the subway and you're not on it,
if you're just staring forward, like you're the weird one.
- Mm-hmm.
- You're the weird one.
- Yeah.
- Everybody else is like, what's this guy doing?
- You get on the subway with a book.
Like what are you, who the fuck is this guy?
- Throwback.
- You're reading a book?
- Yeah.
- A real book?
- Yeah.
- It's not even a Kindle?
- Yeah, it's unreal.
It's unreal.
- Yeah, it's a--
- I have the books on my phone now,
so I'm reading it on my phone.
That's amazing to me, I think.
- Yeah.
- To have all that information, just a library.
- Oh yeah.
- With a library app, you can just download books
from the library on your phone and read them
and return them.
- Yeah.
- It's just, that's fantastic.
- Well, I have most of the books that I consume,
I consume audio books, on the way to work,
coming home from work, in the sauna.
That's where I do most of my listening to books.
And I probably have 200, 300 books--
- That's great.
- On this little tiny phone.
- It's unreal.
- And they're all hours long.
- Yeah.
- Like, it's a terabyte of data on that phone.
So there's so much room.
And also, it just stores it in the cloud anyway.
- Right.
- So if there's no room, it's in the cloud.
- Right.
- Then you download it, and it's fucking,
there's never been a time that you could have
more access to information.
But there's also never been a time where you're more distracted.
- Yeah, that's the rub.
That's the rub.
But if you're focused on the information, man,
it's like, it's college.
It's basically a college in your pocket.
- Yeah.
- It's unbelievable.
And people listening might be like, what do you, you know,
'cause people grew up with this, but we didn't.
Like, I knew a time where this didn't exist at all.
Like, me and my brother had a room together.
It was both of us, no TV allowed in the room,
dinner together at a certain time.
Unless you're working or you're at a sports practice,
you're having dinner.
My father's playing music while we have dinner.
We're talking about our day.
And then when we go to sleep, it's like a room,
no television, 'cause he didn't want us in our room
watching television on our own.
You wanna watch television, you're out with the family.
- Right.
- You know, it's that kind of thing.
So, I guess, you know, it's a different world.
- Yes.
- And it's been a gradual thing,
but it's still very, very different.
Like, I don't have kids, so I don't know how that would be.
But I guess, I mean, like, what you do,
what you implement with your children.
- It's difficult.
- Sounds like the right thing.
- They get mad at you.
- Yeah.
- Put your phone down.
- Yeah.
- They get mad because that little dopamine rush,
and it's not even a big rush.
- Right.
- That's what's weird.
It's like this little drip of dopamine.
- Yeah.
- Blipp, blip, blip, blip.
But you like, there's this pull.
Like, what, is anybody texting me?
- Yeah.
- Anybody, what's going on?
I see some people on the podcast.
They can't help, but they reach for their phone.
- Yeah, that's the thing.
- Like, they just check their text messages.
- And this is your podcast.
- And it's giant.
There's millions of people watching.
- Yes.
- Someone just look at their phone.
- It's nuts.
- But they can't help it.
They just get so sucked in.
- I've done it to the point where it's like,
when I first get up, I make sure I don't look at it,
and do other things first.
And then I set time aside and I mentally prepare myself.
I go, okay, now I'm going to look at it.
I'm going to look at it.
I'm going to do as much as I want for 15 minutes.
Check everything.
Make sure everything's up.
Check the comments.
And now that the special is out,
like, respond to people as much a
