Joe Rogan podcast, check it out.
The Joe Rogan experience.
Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day.
Hello, Megan.
Hi.
What's happening?
Good to see you.
Good to see you also.
What's crack-a-lackin'?
Well, are you ready to get wasted?
Yeah, you and this fucking vile beverage that you bring.
I brought, Lord, I was like, Joe is going to actually be mad when he sees what
I brought.
So explain to people what this is.
Okay.
I brought Raycia.
Joe Rogan, this man right here, he talks about Raycia.
I talk about it.
He gave it to me.
All the time.
I serve it to people.
You never stop bitching about Raycia on the phone.
Well, I give it to people, and every time I give it to people, they're like,
Jesus.
I don't know.
It's one of the rare alcohols that we've had in studio that we haven't burned
through.
Yeah, and I noticed you didn't give it to Snoop.
No.
The squandered opportunity.
I was like, you're like, you don't want that.
I don't think Snoop wants that.
Maybe he doesn't want that.
I can't take a chance with Snoop.
Okay, so Raycia is moonshine from the state of Jalisco, which is where I live
in Mexico.
And it's similar to Mezcal, so it comes from the agave plant.
And that is the end of my explanation, because after that, I am confused.
I don't know why you like it.
I don't know why either.
I have no, I'm not like, I don't love most booze.
Really?
I love drinking.
But like, I love whiskey.
I love scotch.
I love Raycia.
So you like strong stuff.
I don't like tequila.
I don't like vodka.
Yeah.
I don't like rum.
Yeah, you're a strong drinker.
Well, obviously, if you like Raycia, you're a strong drinker.
You like stuff you feel.
Yeah.
But I mean, I can't explain it.
Like, I can't explain why I don't like tequila, but I like Raycia, which
everybody else hates.
Okay, thank you.
You don't have to explain shit.
You're like, Megan, just do you.
You live your life.
You do you, girl.
You like what you like.
Yeah, exactly.
So, okay, so what I brought, this is actual moonshine.
It didn't come in this bottle.
My friend put it in this bottle for me.
But she actually bought it from on the top of a mountain in Yalapa from a guy.
Have you tested it yet?
I've tried it.
So it's okay?
No.
No?
It's not going to kill you.
Yeah, I mean, does it kill you?
No, no, no.
It's good.
I mean, they've been making this stuff for centuries.
So they put it in that bottle.
Did you put the label?
They sell it out of two liter Coke bottles.
I feel like that's the one we should try.
This came out of a two liter Coke bottle.
Yeah, we have to try it.
That's the one we've got to try.
I want to look at your face.
Okay.
Are we putting it in mugs?
Yeah.
Why not?
I mean, fuck it.
This is not formal.
No.
We're not professionals here.
Because I'm probably going to pour coffee in it later and just go, ugh.
Dude, you're going to hate this.
I promise.
And then after, I'm going to give you some that you might actually like.
And if you don't like it, then I give up on you forever.
Oh, no.
I'm a whiskey guy.
Then we're not friends anymore.
I like whiskey.
I love whiskey, too.
Buffalo Trace.
Always.
That's my kind of shit.
Okay.
Cheers, my friend.
Cheers.
Nice to see you again.
Very good to see you.
Okay.
Boy, dude.
I just got rice all over my face.
And that's what happens when you drink out of mugs.
That tastes like it came from a fucking Coke bottle.
Do you like it at all?
Like, I don't know.
I kind of like it.
Obviously.
You're like, I mean, let me tell you.
Well, Megan, you're a strong cup of coffee as a human, you know?
And it makes sense that you would like a strong beverage.
Okay.
Thank you.
That actually makes sense.
I appreciate that.
It makes sense.
You know, it fits you.
And this is, like, it's either 47 or 48 proof.
And the way that they test the proof.
They ain't testing shit.
Is by, she showed me a video.
My friend showed me a video.
And the guy who was making it put it in this little thing and then blew bubbles
with a straw.
And then he looks at the bubbles.
Like, he looks at the size of the bubbles and sees, like, how fast they pop.
And that's how, you know.
Oh, super accurate.
Is he snake charm as well?
Like, what the fuck?
This one I bought from the bar across the street from my house.
Because I really loved, I was like, this is so good.
Yeah?
And I couldn't find it anywhere.
Like, I couldn't buy it anywhere.
So I just bought it off of him.
So is that a popular beverage with Mexicans?
Or is it a popular beverage with the expats?
More like Mexicans.
Like, for example.
This is beautiful.
Yeah, this one is beautiful.
I love the little...
You might...
This one, actually, to me, tastes more like a Mezcal.
Do you like Mezcal?
Yeah, I do.
Like, this one is smokier.
So you might like this one.
But I also like the bottle.
I like how the bottle comes with that little necklace.
Yeah.
You can wear that if you want.
No.
It's not my style.
But it is Pride Month.
It would fit for Pride Month.
Perfect.
Yeah.
You can represent your LGBTQ allies or whatever.
Or leprechauns.
Or leprechauns.
Yeah.
Whatever.
But yeah, like, I mean, Mexicans, this kind of stuff, they only sell to locals.
Like, they don't sell this in stores.
They sell it to the locals who live in that area.
So yeah, Mexicans like it.
I mean, some Mexicans.
Most people that I know think I'm a crazy person also.
Like, in Mexico, they're like, you're the only person who buys this, Megan.
Like, you burn through all of our ricea and nobody else buys ricea.
Is that mostly what you drink down there?
Yeah.
Wow.
Like, I drink red wine with dinner or at home.
But if I go out, I drink ricea.
Can you get that?
Have you ever tried to get a bar in the States?
Like, have you ever gone to Austin and asked for ricea?
No.
I don't think they would know what that is.
Maybe I'll try.
Try it tonight.
Give it a shot.
Okay.
Yeah.
I'm going to try not to get too wasted tonight because I have an event tomorrow.
Oh, what's your event?
It's called Women Leaving the Left.
Wow.
It's a panel of women, females, adult human females.
And it's at the Austin Central Library on West Cesar Chavez.
Did I say that right?
Yeah.
710.
And it's basically like, I've been writing a lot lately about, sorry, I'm just
going to launch into my spiel or whatever.
I've been writing a lot lately about, like, my political transformation, I
suppose you could call it.
I mean, I was super left-wing for my whole life.
Like, from when I was a kid, I grew up in, like, a Marxist household.
So, I was, like, a socialist and a feminist my whole life until maybe, I don't
know, two or three years ago,
I started feeling like I wasn't super into the labels anymore and definitely
started feeling, becoming very critical of the left
and not just the way the left had treated me, which has been abhorrent.
But ideologically, I think that there's problems.
It's not, you know, it's not...
Like, what specifically bothers you?
Well, I mean, I guess, so part of the thing that happened was that I realized
that attaching yourself to any movement
and any ideology limits critical thought and independent thought, you get
trapped into this box.
And the people that you're allied with in these movements also trap you into
that box.
Right.
And I am a writer and that's, you know, I'm a thinker.
You know, like, I want to learn, I want to know, and I want the freedom to
change my mind about things.
I want the freedom to explore new ideas and I want the freedom to talk to, you
know, I also do podcasts and I want to be able to...
Part of the reason I do it is because it's interesting.
Like, it's a great way to learn.
I'm sure you know that, right?
Yeah, sure.
I've learned so much just from the opportunity to talk to so many different
kinds of people and ask them questions about things that I don't know about.
It's an amazing resource.
It's amazing.
Running a podcast and being able to have conversations with people, it's
changed who I am.
I mean, if you go back 12 years ago to when I started the podcast, what I know
and the way I talk and the way I think about things, it's very different.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I'm sure that that played, like, a large role in my changing my mind about
all sorts of things.
Right.
Because you're exposed to new ideas and different perspectives and people who
come from different backgrounds.
And I mean, I just feel like so many people on the left and so many people in
feminism are siloed.
And that is probably true about the right to a certain extent.
It's just that I'm much less familiar with the right because I've never been
involved with the right before.
Right.
But I feel like on the left and in feminism, they're around people who only
agree with them, who only see things their way.
And they refuse to speak to anybody who doesn't see things their way, which,
you know, exacerbates the problem.
And I didn't want that.
I felt intellectually bored also.
Like, I was like, OK, I feel like I'm just repeating myself now.
So I'm not even thinking critically about what I'm saying.
I already know the analysis.
I already know the mantra.
I know what my response is supposed to be.
I know what words I'm supposed to plug in.
Right.
You know, patriarchy, capitalism.
Yeah.
Intersectionality.
I'll know I never got fully into that nonsense.
But, you know, and I and I really like I was I really have been treated very
badly by the left and by feminists.
When you say that, though, don't you think it's just specific people that are
attached to an ideology?
It's not like people that are left wing people have treated you badly.
It's very specific kind of people that decide that you are venturing away from
the ideological boundaries.
It's partly that.
But I think that is connected to left wing politics and left wing ideology, at
least now.
Maybe that wasn't true in the 70s.
But left wing thoughts.
Right.
This is the thing that I have a problem with with all this stuff.
It's like.
I'm very open minded and very liberal when it comes to gay rights, women's
rights, civil rights.
Oh, you know, even things that I'm still on the fence about now, like universal
basic income.
Boy, I was I was all in until the pandemic.
And then watching the way people behaved when they got a hold of a lot of
unemployment and the money from the government, the covid relief money, and
they didn't want to work anymore.
I was like, oh, you know, I mean, I know it's not a lot of people, you know, it's
not like all the people react in this exact same way.
But I have friends that own businesses and they can't get people to they couldn't
get people to work for him.
Like I have a friend who owns a restaurant.
He couldn't get a bartender like the bartender would only work for twenty
dollars an hour or excuse me for twenty hours a week so that he could get
unemployment.
And he was like, what the fuck, man?
Like, yeah, I mean, but I think that's partly I mean, yeah, that's true.
I mean, it's like but I think it's that's partly like baked into left wing
ideology nowadays because there's this like opposition to, you know,
independence.
There's an opposition to trying to better yourself as an individual person.
There's an opposition to individualism because you're supposed to blame the
system.
Yeah, you're supposed to blame capitalism, racism, patriarchy, you know, and
then all the myriad of phobias, transphobia, fat phobia.
And so the solution is not to change you.
It's not your fault.
It's their fault because they're phobic or the system's trying to keep you down.
So I think that like not wanting to work anymore is like, well, like, why
should I?
I don't have to like they don't realize that it's like it's good for your
mental health to work.
Like you're not supposed it's not good for your mental health to sit around in
your apartment on Netflix or on Zoom or on social media or on dating apps or
looking at porn all day.
Well, the thing is, it's like it's not good to not be self-sustaining is my
thought.
I think there's an issue.
But I think for many people, you get unemployment and you use tha
