- The Joe Rogan Experience.
- I think music is so transcendent.
- It is.
- Of all the arts, I love all of the arts
and F all of these kids who are gluing themselves
to frickin' classic art pieces.
- Yeah, well they're gluing themselves to the wall
and throwing soup on the plastic.
- Someone glued themselves to the actual painting
the other day, the girl with the pearl earring, yeah.
- Where was this?
- Um, where is that painting?
I just was reading about it on the way over here.
- They should start hacking arms off.
That would stop that.
- I was like, get Mo, all of them!
- Just put a tourniquet around their forearm.
A climate protester glues his head
to girl with a pearl earring painting.
- Oh yeah, that's what I thought.
Okay, yeah. - Oh my God.
- I mean.
- He glued his head to the painting.
- And I'm not sure if this is true,
so maybe fact check me on this, Jamie,
but I also heard that somebody who's funding all of these
is one of the grandchildren of the Gettys,
which makes it even more hilarious if this is true.
- Oh, who knows how much funding is involved in crazy glue.
- That's an oil family!
- Yeah, but I'm saying it's crazy glue.
- That's so funny.
- No, I know.
- But how much funding is involved?
- But they're climate activists, all these people.
So it's just a, it's...
- Getty oil fortune heiress helped fund climate activists
who have target artworks and museums.
- It's hilarious to me.
Like you are rich because of oil.
- She looks like the type of person who'd fund that.
-
- She looks angry.
- Maybe she's angry to be born to like, into such wealth.
- Does she have a biohazard tattoo on her left arm?
- Yeah.
- Oh Christ.
It does say biohazard, oh my God.
You see what they did at the Porsche Museum?
- Where they were like mad that they didn't get buckets
to poop in?
- No, they glued themselves to the floor so the Porsche people
just shut the lights off and left the place.
Fuck off.
- I thought one of the guys was mad.
Maybe this was another place.
- No, they couldn't go to the bathroom.
They wanted somewhere to go to the bathroom.
Look at that.
Glued themselves to the Porsche Museum but needed to go potty.
Staff simply left, turning off heat and lights
rather than calling the police.
Good for you.
- Good for you, Porsche.
It's so fucking dumb.
It's like we keep starting the conversation.
Like the conversation's already happening.
- We shouldn't even be giving them attention honestly.
- No, it's a symbol of this TikTok generation.
- Yeah.
- It's a symptom of all this nonsense
that you're seeing constantly online.
These people, they're trying to get attention
with the least amount of work possible.
- Yeah.
I'm like go clean up a beach.
- Yeah, yeah.
- Do something productive.
If you care about the climate, I'm always screaming about this.
Like get a bunch, organize an international clean up
the beach day.
Take pictures of all the garbage that you collect.
- Yeah.
- All over the world.
Post TikToks about it.
I can be an activist.
Let me, but do something.
- Yeah.
- It would be, it would be really, it would be moving to see how much garbage
is on the beach.
- The girls who threw the soup at the Van Gogh, they went on Patrick Bet David's
podcast.
And he, he's a brilliant guy.
And he asked them, uh, may I ask what your pronouns are?
And she said her pronouns are she, he, they.
- I don't understand.
- You don't have to.
That's perfect.
It's perfect.
That's nonsense.
- I don't understand.
- You're, you're she, he, and you're a they.
So you're plural, you're masculine, and you're feminine.
You're, you're basically a God.
- I, I don't get it though.
- You don't have to get it.
They're 20 year old kids.
- I don't get it.
- They just want attention.
And they're so happy they're getting attention.
Cause they think they're fixing the world by gluing themselves to the wall.
- I would agree.
Except it's all been institutionalized.
Like people have to put this in their corporate, you know, emails that they're
sending to you.
They have to, the, the, like there's policy being written in Europe about
energy because of Greta.
There's the, it's not like, oh, look at these crazy kids and their crazy ideas.
And it's somehow being captured by, they're capturing institutions.
- Well, it's the, the thing du jour, right?
It's the thing that people are, yeah.
It's the thing that people are told they have to concentrate on now.
- But there's still, there's still policies and stuff that are.
- Yes.
- So it's still having real life ramifications.
It's not like we're like, oh, those crazy kids.
- It is having real life, but, but it also, there's, there's over corrections.
And then there's balances, right?
Like there's a guy that I'm going to talk to that is covering cobalt mining.
And cobalt mining is horrific.
- I know.
- It is horrific.
And it is in all of our electronics.
It's like one of the things that I've been saying about all these people
that are tweeting about injustices on the world.
They're doing it on a phone that was made by slaves.
- Yeah.
- Like if you go down as far as you can go to find like, what's like,
what's the source of the stuff that is in the phone that makes it work?
- Yeah.
- It's, it's sourced by slavery.
- All these electric vehicle batteries too.
- Yeah.
- I mean, what are we going to do with all of, and all the technological waste?
And what do we, we just like take computers and what do you do with your own
computer?
- Well, what do you do with all, there's a lot, there's a lot to do.
Like I, I would imagine that this is an opportunity for someone to innovate and
come up with a way
to recycle that stuff and use it in a way.
But then I was reading about recycling the other day.
I went down a rabbit hole the other day.
Cause I was talking, I was reading about birds that are swallowing like bottle
caps and stuff like that.
- Okay.
- It's a giant issue.
- Yeah.
- And so then I went on a rabbit hole of seagulls and what cunt seagulls are.
- Yeah.
- And seagulls swallowing rabbits and swallowing other birds.
And so seagulls are monsters.
- No, they are.
- They're fucking monsters.
- A seagull on the beach out east swept down and took my cousin sandwich out of
her hand
while she was eating it.
This is a true story.
- That's, that's little.
They'll eat your kid.
If your kid was small enough, they'd swallow your kid.
I mean, they're little opportunist monsters.
- Yeah.
- You know, the worst is pelicans.
Pelicans swallow seagulls.
- Okay.
- They swoop down.
They take a whole seagull.
- They look like dinosaurs.
- They are dinosaurs.
- Yeah.
- They are.
- Whenever you're on the beach and you see them flying by,
they look like pterodactyls, like little ones.
- Yeah, they're, they're spooky animals, but they were also, also awesome.
Um, so then I went down this rabbit hole of recycling.
And do you know that like it's, it's somewhere in the neighborhood of 5% of
plastic gets recycled,
even though you say recycled?
- Yeah.
- Like you put it in a recycled bin, how much actually gets recycled?
Very, very little of it.
- One of the first articles I ever read in the New York Times Magazine back
when it was
good.
I was in high school and there was a whole article about how recycling is
basically bullshit.
- Yeah, it's basically bullshit.
It's, I mean, it could work, but it doesn't work.
It could work.
If you could get all the plastic and there was some sort of a like financially
feasible way to
gather it all up and process it and reuse it, it can be done.
- Right.
- I mean, um, there's that project that they're doing with the Pacific garbage
patch,
where they're scooping up all that stuff and they're converting it into plastic
that they use
for items.
Like you can buy like eyeglasses that were made, the plastic frames and
everything were made
with the recycled plastic.
- That's crazy.
- Which is cool that they're doing that.
And then they're actually, there's like a way to make it financially viable.
But overall, most of the plastic, single use plastic, like bottles, water
bottles and stuff like that,
it's not being recycled.
- Like this.
- Yeah, we stopped using water bottles here.
We just, we have the water filter now and then we have these steel cups and
I'm contributing, man.
- I'm glad.
- Meanwhile, I drove an electric car.
- I mean.
- You know, and that's not providing, you know, it's not putting out bad
emissions,
but it's also, it's like, where's the batteries coming from?
- I always think of Thomas Sowell and his like famous quote, there are, there
aren't solutions,
there are trade-offs.
And if you start evaluating everything from that perspective, you can, I feel
like, get to more
helpful solutions when you know that you're evaluating the trade-offs.
Thank you.
