Train by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day.
Can you handle this?
That's not physical, it's like, can you handle being in an incredibly abstract
place and
your brain doing shit it's never done before?
Yeah, that seems to be what happens when people can't handle it, is just the
resistance of
it, just like, no, no, no, and then that's the bad trip.
Yeah, they say like, surrender, and I've had, I've had, you know, journeys, Joe,
when you're
in the medicine game, as long as I've been in it, you call it medicine.
Plant medicine.
Don't you, it doesn't immediately, red flags go up and you go, oh my God, don't
say plant
medicine.
Yeah, can't not say it.
I'm wearing a fucking ayahuasca anklet as we speak and I want to, and I want to
punch
myself in the other side of the face.
There's so much jargon and lingo that goes with like psychedelic talk that
leads to like
cults.
Yeah, it's not different at all.
Did you watch the, uh, the orgasm ink documentary on Netflix yet?
No.
It's about that one touch.
It's, it's really funny.
I heard it's great.
It's great.
It's just, it all, the same shit happens, it doesn't matter where.
It's the, I did a joke one time that, uh, every cult at some point, the real,
the leader
of every religious cult says, Hey, God, uh, spoke to me and he says, I got to
fuck all
your wives without fail.
Every, every sink across the board.
Wait, all of them.
Yep.
Sorry guys.
I got that call.
Yeah.
Send your wife.
I'm going to fuck her now.
God decided.
Now's the time.
This one was different because it's a female leader, but, and it was based on a
orgasm, but this one was like, you got to fuck him.
If you're having a hard time, it was like the opposite of HR where it was, you
know,
you should, if you have a problem with him, you got to fuck him.
There's a place here that, uh, was a cult and, uh, the building was for sale.
I almost bought the building.
I was like in negotiation.
Oh, that's where you were going to have the club, right?
Yeah.
It's, uh, the documentary is called Holy Hell.
I still haven't watched it.
It's on my list.
It started out in, uh, Los Angeles and, uh, this guy was, uh, he would get his
male, uh, disciples and, uh, he would give them therapy, make them pay for
therapy.
It was like 50 bucks and then he would fuck them.
Another hallmark.
Yeah.
So it's like pyramid scheme.
Yeah.
Yep.
I got to, Hey, bad news.
I got to fuck you.
It's part of the deal.
I don't know what to say.
You want to be in it?
Real therapy.
Part of the group or not.
Yeah.
But it's just so sad.
Like, listen to these guys tell the story.
It's like, there's, there's some weird thing about human beings where they,
they gravitate
towards a big leader, but towards someone who claims they have the answers and
seems very
confident and can speak reasonably well, there's almost like a cheat code where
people just
like, they get locked into that.
It feels like order.
It just feels like order.
If you go, if somebody says, I know, and they're tall, first of all, if they're
tall, that gets
you like 60% of the way there, that helps if they're tall and says, I know what
we should
do.
Huh?
Good looking.
Charismatic, good looking fit, uh, attractive to women.
Like that'll, it just makes you feel like a daddy's here.
Some daddy's here, a different daddy.
It's like, Oh, all right.
That's what people like about Trump.
That's what people like about Obama.
Any, most presidents are some form of that.
Yeah.
What Reagan.
Yeah.
Uh, certainly two termers, George W. Bush in a weird way, form of, you know
what I mean?
Like it's sort of, he, George Bush, George W. Bush, guy walked like he had a
fucking two
foot cock.
Guy walked like he had to, he had to leave room for two dicks.
That's how wide his gate was.
And he said he used to practice it.
He practiced his gate?
George W. Bush used to practice his gate.
Come on.
Really?
You look it up.
Yeah.
He, he'd be talking about it in interviews.
Like we're looking.
Can you imagine walking around your house, practicing your impressive walk?
Yeah.
Well that, can you imagine anyone more than him doing it?
It's like the exact guy that would do that.
Like I'm gonna practice walk.
Um, yeah.
Uh.
Bush's renewed confidence.
This is 2005.
Some folks look at me and see a certain swagger, which in Texas is called
walking.
That's how President Bush described himself during his acceptance speech at
last year's Republican
National Convention in New York City.
But for much of this year, the president seemed to have lost the, okay.
That's just.
Yeah, but do you, I've seen other interviews where he talked about.
Talked about actually practicing his walk.
Yeah.
Well, they were originally from Maine.
You know, they're like kind of fake Texans.
Come on, Joe.
Yeah, they were from Kent Bunker.
No, I know.
They're like, they couldn't be more blue blood.
Yeah.
His dad, George Bush Sr. was head of the CIA.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Which is weird now.
I wonder if that would help him now.
Politically.
I was the head of the CIA.
Uh, didn't hurt him then.
Didn't hurt him, but only one term.
Yeah, but that was because of, uh, what's his face?
Perot, yeah.
Yeah, Rush Perot.
Yeah, yeah.
I'll tell you what's going on.
Fucking guy's great.
That guy, he fucking threw the whole thing out the window.
Like, when he bought television time, like, primetime television time, he was
like, I'll
just buy it a whole hour and gave the networks money so that he could run his
speech and talk
about how you're getting fucked by the IRS.
People at home were like, what the fuck?
It literally was like one of the very first internet speeches.
Yeah, absolutely.
He made himself go viral and he appealed to people that were not, there's like
a whole
part of the country that's not spoken to by, I mean, mass media.
You can call it liberal media.
I don't even think, I think there's like a level that they just, people just
don't want
to talk to him, it's like people that, that aren't especially rich or
sophisticated or any
of the stuff that people think is great and they want to, that advertisers want
to appeal
to, they just, and then Ross Perot was like, look here.
Yeah.
And it's like a beacon for people.
It's like a siren song.
People are like, what, what's that?
This guy, and that, by the way, a billionaire.
And it's not about, people think it's about, he didn't seem like a billionaire.
That's the, that was his, like, that's Trump's appeal too.
Like, he doesn't seem like a rich guy.
Seems like a regular guy.
That's funny.
Like, Dr. Oz lost.
How?
Cause, cause he seemed, he seemed like a liberal.
Fetterman seemed like a conservative.
He, by, cause I think so much of it is just looks.
You can speak to this yourself.
People are against you cause you're fit.
There are people that are like fucking meathead.
I'm like, he's not a meathead.
Fucking yeah, he is.
It's cause you look, you just are, you're, people wouldn't believe that you and
I are friends.
Do you know what I mean?
Like, we're like a, it's like when a turtle hangs out with a fucking python.
And the turtles would ride on the top of a python.
People would go like, how do they, it's like we're, we're, uh, unexpected
animal friends.
Um, the, uh, so I just think it's so much of it is looks.
So much.
It's that.
A lot of it is, right?
Way more than people would admit.
Anybody that saw the Fetterman debate would go, oh, this guy needs help.
Couldn't watch.
I literally couldn't watch it.
I knew like that's gonna, it would, it feels cruel or something.
Yeah, it is cruel.
It's cruel to put a guy in a position like that who's recovering from a stroke.
You're, you're not supposed to be into that kind of stress.
Want coffee?
Drink coffee?
I do.
I need too much shit.
You put a lot of stuff in it?
I put all kinds of garbage.
What do you, like a Starbucks app?
I spun down, oh, Joe, I got the app.
The app.
Menti soy misto.
I love an app.
Um, yeah, I get there, pick it up.
Uh, by the way, if you were homeless, would you ever, wouldn't you just go grab
food off
the shelf at any of these Chipotle?
Yeah.
Immediately?
I would just go right to Starbucks.
Yep.
It's like, you're allowed to go in there.
Yep.
For, and they go, who's you for, for Josh.
Yeah.
There's probably a Josh on the shelf.
Just walk in, grab it, walk out.
Grab it, go over to Chipotle, get your lunch.
Yeah.
Go to the park.
I mean, it must happen, constantly.
But they're shutting Starbucks left and right because they're just inundated
with homeless
people.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
It's like, when they kicked those black guys out in Philadelphia, you remember?
Yeah.
It cost a giant stink.
And then they decided not kicking anybody out of Starbucks ever.
Even if you're not a, if you're not a paid customer, it's okay.
And then the homeless people went, great.
Yep.
Say no more.
Yeah.
We'll be right there.
Isn't it wild that that one decision, how much did that one decision that that
one manager
make cost Starbucks by changing their policy and allowing homeless people to
just linger around
and smell like shit?
Did they officially change their policy?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
They officially changed it.
Yeah.
They officially changed it.
Yeah.
That's what they call an overcorrection.
A giant one.
Yeah.
I read a thing last night that there's, it's like similar but different, where
there's
so many people quit working at hospitals that there's now incredibly long waits
at hospitals
like now and COVID's like low.
Well, they fired so many of them because they wouldn't get vaccinated.
Oh, they, the thing I read said that 300,000 people quit in the last, in 2020
and 2021.
Well, I'm sure there's that too.
Yeah.
I'm sure there's quitting too, but a lot of them just, they, they had the
option, get
vaccinated or lose your job.
And they were like, what?
We went through this when there was no vaccine.
We all got COVID, you fucks.
Yeah.
We risked our lives.
We're in here every day.
And now you're going to make us get vaccinated when there's no science behind
it.
We literally have antibodies that are seven times better than what you get from
the vaccine.
And you're making people get vaccinated just for what?
For a virtue signal?
So you can tell everybody that everyone's vaccinated?
Like there's zero science behind that.
And they all, like, these were our heroes that were on the front lines and then
they fired
them.
If you were the, if you were the king of the earth, or let's say king of
America, which
some would say you are, if you're the king of America, what, how would you have
handled
COVID from February, 2020?
Like, what would you have done?
Because I feel like we all have, like, I don't like that.
I don't like that.
I don't like that.
I don't know what the better solution would have been, especially when you
consider stuff
like hospitals and quitting and deaths and triat, like, wherein at one point
Wuhan was going
to build, they built that hospital in a week, which America just can't do shit
like that.
To me, it was always a hospital bed issue.
Well, in some ways.
The problem, it's a health issue, right?
And you're dealing with vast swaths of the population that have very fragile
bodies, very
fragile health.
Bad, people that are in bad health.
Yeah.
Naturally in bad health.
That's a lot of people.
Never cared.
It's, I would say, what is it, 45% of Americans are obese?
Yeah.
Something like that.
Somewhere in the neighborhood.
And, you know, and that's just obesity.
Then you have these people that maybe they're not obese, but they have terrible
blood pressure
and they eat terrible foods.
Hypertension.
Their immune system's shot.
Diabetes, yeah.
There's a lot of fucked up people in this country.
And that was what was exposed by COVID.
No matter what anybody did, it was going to be bad for those people.
There is no if, ands, or buts about it.
No matter what anybody did, that disease was going to wreck people with damaged
immune systems.
It was just, and especially overweight people.
A plurality of people, almost ha
