Joe Rogan Experience #1775 - Dave Smith

Joe Rogan podcast, check it out.
The Joe Rogan experience.
Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day.
All right, David Smith, how the fuck are you?
Very good, sir.
Thank you for having me back.
Cheers, cheers, sir.
Always good to see you.
Fuck.
You too.
Last night was fun.
Yeah, it was great.
Good times.
And tonight should be fun too.
Hell yeah.
Hell yeah.
Doing gigs out in Texas with Joe Rogan, right when things are all calm for you
and relaxed.
Everything's great.
Normal.
Did you see yourself becoming the most important man in the universe?
That's not real.
It's just attention.
No.
Of course not.
Who the fuck would ever see that?
Yeah.
That's pretty unbelievable.
You took the logical progression from being a stand-up comedian, an MMA analyst,
to bringing down the entire regime in the United States of America.
I'm going to bring it down in the regimes.
Well, I can wish.
Yeah.
That's you, though.
You're that libertarian cynicist who...
I don't think of it as...
I think I was being an optimist when I said bringing down the regime.
Well, what the fuck replaces it?
All those, like, all the crazy Antifa people that want to burn it all down,
like, we've got to destroy democracy.
Like, and replace it with what?
Well, that's a...
Yeah, I think for them, like, the Chaz or something.
I don't know exactly.
Yes, remember that?
Yeah, I don't think that's going to be much better.
But I'd be okay with maybe, like, something crazy, like the Bill of Rights.
That'd be cool.
Just to have...
I'd be okay taking a step back toward that.
But it's that attitude about bringing it all down.
One of my favorite ones...
I know I sent you this before, Jamie.
It's this woman who said, to stop fat phobia, we have to destroy Western
civilization.
That seems a little extreme.
But it's that kind of...
But that's my point, is that, like, that is the attitude.
That it's so silly.
You know, that they're saying something like, you haven't thought this through
at all.
Like, you don't have a real plan.
But you just don't want people to make fun of you being fat.
So you think that the best way to handle this is to destroy Western
civilization.
I'm trying to find it.
It's going to be really disappointing when she destroys Western civilization
and then finds out people still make fun of her for being fat.
Look at this.
To end fat phobia, we need to dismantle Western civilization.
It says Philly therapist.
Can you imagine someone who really needs a therapist and that's who you get as
your therapist?
Like, I feel like she would definitely force that into therapy.
Like, you're like, I don't know.
I never really communicated with my father.
And she's like, do you think we need to destroy Western civilization?
But it's like, if you just tell her, like, ma'am, if you just lost weight, you'd
be feeling better.
You'd be better.
It'd be better forever.
You would have less disease.
You'd have less problems.
Your joints wouldn't hurt.
You'd have more energy.
Yes, it would be objectively better.
For everything about your life, all aspects of your life, you'd be happier.
Your hormones would work better.
Your whole endocrine system would function more fluidly.
Your heart would work better.
You'd feel better.
Somewhere along the line in this country, we became allergic to harsh truths.
Like, anything that just is like, look, this is the truth, but it's probably
not going to make you feel warm and mushy to hear this.
Yeah, I got another one.
I got to send Jamie this right now because it's so fucking stupid.
It is Adele got in trouble last night.
This is like, what is happening?
This literally makes no sense.
So Adele did this, I mean, I don't even know what you would call it.
They were calling it gender neutral, some gender neutral thing.
And she talked about how much she loved being a woman.
And they were mad at her.
That's very offensive.
They slammed her.
She was slammed for telling a gender neutral award show that she loves being a
woman.
Like, you can't love being a woman.
It's horrible.
You have to be gender neutral.
Like us.
Be like us.
We're so tolerant.
I'm appalled.
She loves being a woman.
That's outrageous.
That's so intolerant.
Yeah, really.
She should be tolerant and just be like them only.
And only think like them.
All the they, them people, she should only be like them.
Yeah, that's a, that's a, it's a very insane request.
You know what I mean?
Like, it's, I think it's a reasonable request to say, hey, listen, I don't fit
into these norms.
And I would like to not be treated, you know, like mistreated for that.
That is a reasonable request.
To say that I demand that everybody else also does not fit into the norms,
which the vast majority of human beings, like the vast, vast, vast majority,
consider themselves to be one of these two genders.
Yeah.
So to demand that they stop doing that so that you're more comfortable is a,
that's a, it's like if someone is in a wheelchair and they're like, hey, I'd
really appreciate it if you built a ramp or I'd appreciate it if you don't like,
you know, I don't know, something.
But if they go, I'd like everybody else to sit in a wheelchair and wheel around
also.
That's the only way you can get around.
That seems a bit unrealistic.
Well, it's, this is apparently a gender neutral award show, which I don't
understand.
And then I don't understand why she said yes, going to it.
I'm also, I'm looking at the response to it.
It says the audience gave support and then all of the slams are coming from
Twitter.
Of course.
And I looked at some of the tweets and they're already protected.
So I can't see.
Ah, they're already protected.
People panicked.
The audience at the time didn't realize that they had just heard such a
horrific thing said to them.
Yeah.
They weren't aware.
They had to get online and find out how they should think.
Yeah, man.
All this stuff though, it does, it's, you know, it's like the reason though why
all of this like woke insanity is so pushed by all of the big corporations and
by the media and like all this stuff is because doesn't it just serve as the
perfect distraction?
Like while everything's crumbling and there's so many real things like the, the
20th century for the United States of America has been a disaster thus far.
Like coming from being the most powerful country in the world coming out of say
like the nineties to what is it?
2001 starts with nine 11, then like seven disastrous wars, the worst recession
in a hundred years or something like that.
The Donald Trump gets elected.
There's COVID.
There's this, the shutdowns, this whole thing.
It's like a disaster.
And they're like, what we really need to talk about, what we need to focus on
is that this woman said she loves being a woman the other day.
And I find that very problematic.
That way, if you were like one of the, you know, if you're like one of these
corporate, you know, uh, uh, big corporations or some hedge fund manager or
something, that's just, I'm just saying it's awfully convenient.
It's a very good distraction.
It does keep you from concentrating on it.
And one of the things that I was talking about last night.
And the thing is that like to actually think about that, number one, it
requires you actually think it requires you actually, you know, watch something
or read something and know what's going on.
Then it also might require that you reflect on yourself and what role you play
in all of this.
Right.
You're like, I'm quite happy to ignore that and just have my new cool phone.
Whereas just being outraged about someone saying a word you don't think they're
supposed to say, that's easy.
It takes no, it takes no sacrifice, no introspection, nothing.
So people just focus on that, but we have an, uh, an unbelievable problem in
this culture with our hierarchy of outrage.
It's not that even some things maybe aren't wrong or you shouldn't be upset
about them, but like, where does this rank in terms of other outrages?
I mean, like there, there could just be like a, it's like, oh, there was a, the
Biden administration had a drone bomb, you know, killed like six innocent
people.
And that's like the 1037th thing that people are outraged about today.
And the number one thing is just always something that's like, this shouldn't,
this should not even be in competition with that.
Right.
Like, what are we talking about?
Like the rock pretend to be a Chinese guy 13 years ago.
Yeah.
We need to go after him now.
But man, that video of you commentating while he does it is hilarious.
God bless the internet.
God bless the geniuses on the internet.
Well, they, they, when you step out and you, you say something silly and he
said something silly.
Well, that's the, that's the thing though, is that it's like, it's almost like,
it's an interesting thing also because you have so many, like so much support.
So many people love you that now you have all these people out there and it's
like, so what do you guys want to do here?
You really want to go to war?
You want to bring up everything everyone's ever said?
That was like not the right thing to say?
When they got the young Turks.
Oh God.
I wonder if they had started talking about it first and then they got them with
that video or if they just went right for them.
I don't know.
I don't know because I don't watch them.
Yeah.
I haven't watched them in a long, long time.
I used to.
Yeah.
I did too.
It got unbearable.
What happened?
Something happened and I don't know if it's attention.
There's something that happens to people.
It's very difficult to stay the course and be who you are.
And I say this as a person who gets about as much attention as anybody gets.
Like alive.
It's hard because so many people are looking at you.
And also I have like managers and shit and they're like, should you really do
this?
And should you really do that?
And they talk to me on the phone.
I go, hey, hey, hey.
Gotta go.
I'm high.
I'm like, wait, I'm not changing.
Right.
Like I'm not changing anything about what I do.
I'm a good person.
I'm a nice guy.
But if you're asking me to like become something different because people are
paying attention,
like, well, I'm out because that's not what I signed up for.
I signed up to just be myself.
But something happens to a lot of people when they get a lot of attention,
where they start
to lean towards the things that get them the most attention or lean towards the
things they
feel like get them the most support.
Or they start to react to the reactions of other people.
And then they become reactionaries.
They become different than who they really are.
And one of the things is they lose their ability to have a charitable take on
things.
They lose their ability to be compassionate for other people.
And they start looking at things very ideologically, very dogmatically.
And they start falling into these traps.
And you'll see it with right-wing people.
You see it with left-wing people.
And they get, somehow or another, they feel like their emotions and outrage and
yelling
and being insulting, it enhances what they're saying.
It enhances their take on things.
And it doesn't.
It doesn't work.
Like, you should be maturing.
It's okay to be outraged.
It's okay to insult people.
But it's like, it should have, like, weight to it.
It should make sense.
And when you're doing it and it doesn't make sense, come on.
Like, what do you, do you not have a filter?
Are you having too many other people influence you?
Like, do you not have any meditation time?
Like, why are you changing?
Like, what are you becoming?
Or is it something more sinister than that?
Which I think it is for some people where it's like, you know exactly what you're
doing.
You don't even really believe in this, you know, that's outrage.
But this is a convenient way for you to kind of pile on and kind of take out
your enemies, so to speak.
There's a lot of people like that.
Yeah, there's a lot of people like that.
The instancy, that's dark.
It's so sad.
Like, because, like, people are looking, but tha
