The Joe Rogan Experience
And Rachel's fantastic
She's so good. And she's a lovely person
Can I imagine? She must be
No one's that good an actor
I don't know, some people might be
Hollywood's full of a lot of interesting deceit too, bro
I know, it is
And sometimes we get to watch it on trial
How wild is that they had a relationship trial?
Like this is who was more fucked up in the relationship
Let's show the whole world
Yeah, I don't know how I feel
There's a part of me that just wishes that nobody would really care
About any of that drama as it unfolds
Because it's not pertinent to anybody's life really
Or making the world a better place
Who gets paid for the advertising money from that trial?
There must have been a lot of it
Does Johnny get a cut of the YouTube title?
Was it all YouTube?
I don't know, but a lot of it is available on YouTube
I mean, where
Was it available for free?
When it came out?
I think the people making the videos are making money
I feel like I saw an article that said someone's making like 60 grand a month
Making reaction videos to the trial or something like that
Just reaction videos of the trial?
Or showing it
Or highlights
Everybody wants to know what everybody else thinks about it
The trial's a perfect thing to have a reaction video
Because there's so many moments in that trial
Certainly, certainly
But I think things like that though
Ultimately they're
I don't know man
I feel like it's making us
Less empathetic
Ultimately
Yes
It is making
We all get to look at these people
Literally, you know, like you're saying
Like they're having a
A marital dispute
We're all getting brought in on their nonsense
Not nonsense
Their shit
Their traumas
Their shit
All that stuff
And everyone just gets to sit around eating popcorn
And judging the entire fiasco
Because it's entertainment now
It's like everything is content
And everything is entertainment
But the more we do that kind of stuff
I do feel like
We're pulling farther apart
From being able to look at
Either her or him
And say
You both have issues
And you both need to work on some shit
And you know
However the jury
And all that found it
I ultimately
I saw little bits and pieces
It seemed like
He was more in the right than she was
I would have gone with that too
But the point is
They're still human beings
Both of them
At the end of the day
And they're just a circus
When we see it like that
Seemingly
I think he wanted the circus
Because the circus exposes the truth
I think that was the only way
To expose the truth
Was to get her
To talk about stuff on camera
And he felt like
She would kind of fall apart
Certainly
But I don't think that
That could have been done
Just in a courtroom
Without it airing
To the rest of the world
All that stuff
Yeah
Would have been said
On some cameras
That are recording in that room
And
Are we trying to pretend
The jury didn't know
How the rest of the world felt?
I know
It's so ridiculous
In that case
It's so ridiculous
In that case
How do you keep jurors away from anything
How do you keep them away from their phone?
Yeah
I don't know
I don't know
Like do we give up on that?
On jurors being influenced by the outside world?
No
That's still very much the law I believe
But wasn't it at a certain point in time
That they were restricted?
Like they weren't allowed to watch media
Oh yeah
Or something like that
They were sequestered
Yeah
Is that still going on?
Or do they get to go home?
It depends on the trial
I think so
Yeah
Like in the OJ Simpson trial
All those guys got sequestered
For a long fucking time
Oh man
It was not
Not ideal for any of them
And after all that
They still come up with a fucked up verdict
I mean
It was
That was
I agree
I don't
I don't see
Him as being
Innocent in that at all
But you know
Rodney King had just gotten beaten on a freeway
Yeah
And there was a lot of anger
And a lot of
Yeah
Pain and frustration
And again
Not that that should
Make the other right
Or whatever
But it's still just
I think we gotta come back
And be like
You know
I don't know
Humans
We're humans
You're right
Like everyone who's mocking the trial
Me included
Is not being empathetic
To the fact that these are two human beings
But there's something about
Liars in particular
That people when they're lying
And they are doing it
To try to damage someone else
Yeah
Oh it's horrible
It's one of the creepiest
It's horrible
So there's
There's a certain amount of signaling
That everybody's doing
By not being empathetic
Because it is such a public thing
There's a certain amount of signaling
That we're doing to each other
Saying hey
That is fucking bullshit
Always
And everybody kind of agrees
And then it's
It's kind of better for people
It's better for people to see that
On display
And see people's reaction to it
And make people think about
What is it like
If someone lies about something
Just to try to damage someone
Yeah
Well listen
I 100% believe
That all lies should be exposed
You know
Sunlight is the best disinfectant
We should be able to
Talk about all that shit
For sure
But I think
Yeah
Hopefully it can be done
Where we all get the example
But we're still nice to each other
But we're
Yeah
We're still radically loving each other
Yeah
It's possible
Yeah
It is possible
It's possible for people
To be way nicer to each other
We're still really nice to each other
We're still really nice to each other
We're still really nice to each other
We're still really nice to each other
We're still really nice to each other
We're still really nice to each other
We're still really nice to each other
We're still really nice to each other
