Joe Rogan Podcast, check it out.
The Joe Rogan Experience.
Train by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day.
An audience with the podfather, ladies and gentlemen.
The original, the OG.
Without him, we would not be here.
Adam Curry, ladies and gentlemen.
Joe Rogan, I have much man love for you, my brother.
Much man love for you, brother.
Much man love for you.
If it wasn't for you, this business would not exist.
Well.
You're the fucking patient zero, my brother.
I appreciate you saying that.
It's true.
Without you.
Everybody needs to know it.
Without you, holy shit, I wouldn't have been recertified.
Someone needed to know.
You know, it's like.
Highly appreciated, man.
Go through the archives.
Without you, this is, you are the one.
How's Texas treating you?
It's been what now?
Is it two years?
Fan-fucking-tastic.
No, no, no.
It's a year and a half.
Year and a half.
Yeah, a year and a half.
You like it?
Fucking love it.
Good.
You kids?
Everybody loves it.
Yeah, good.
Love the people here.
I love everything.
I love the fact that it gets cold.
It's cold out today.
I love the changing of the weather.
I love the fucking animals everywhere.
You have actual seasons.
People don't know that.
We got seasons here.
Oh, Texas gets cold as fuck.
It was in the 20s last night.
When I left Hill Country this morning, 18.
Yeah, it's, woo.
Yeah, with some wind factor.
Yeah, yeah.
When it snowed out here last year, I was like, okay.
Now, you didn't lose power, right?
No, we got lucky.
We got lucky.
No, you're on the rich side.
I was on the east side.
They turned that shit off right away.
My friend's way richer than me.
He lost his power.
Oh, really?
Well, where was he?
He's in Westlake, I guess?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Okay, Westlake.
We were southeast before.
Man, where the Section 8 apartments are, that shit got turned off right away.
Yeah, we got a generator now because of that.
Yeah.
It was a little sketchy.
Ours is getting installed next week.
Yeah.
Whole House Generator.
You know, it's nice to have food, too.
You know, I always have food stockpiled because I'm a hunter.
I got to tell you, man, food intelligence has got to be the buzzword for the
next couple
of years.
Food intelligence is a good buzzword.
Because people, well, first of all, just look at us, you know, post-COVID or Omicron
now,
whatever.
We're pretty sick people.
Americans are pretty unhealthy.
Yeah, overall.
In general.
Yeah, for sure.
It's a real problem.
And we've let it slide.
We don't know what we're eating anymore.
We just don't.
And, you know, there's a lot of things happening with food.
And you'll appreciate this, the meat processors, they have no intention of
really continuing
actual beef and other real meat.
They are all moving towards processing soy, et cetera, creating, I can't
believe it's not
burger, the fake meat, the fake pork.
Really?
All of them are doing that?
All of them.
But isn't that stock down in that Beyond Burger stuff or Beyond Meat stuff?
You got to, it's much, so those are just the brands, but go look at really the
food
processors.
There's only a couple of them.
We have JBs, I think.
The biggest one is Cargill.
I love talking about Cargill because they're like a secretive family.
They're kind of like succession.
Oh, that's a great fucking show.
Or like the Sacklers.
The same thing.
Which one's the Sacklers?
Purdue Pharma.
Okay.
Who have helped kill 100,000 people.
At least.
This year.
This year.
This year, right?
By the way, isn't it interesting that on Hulu there's a fantastic series.
Dope Sick.
I've heard about it.
I have not watched it yet.
I heard it's amazing.
What's great about it, Michael Keaton produced it, so kudos to him.
What's great about it is it shows how corrupt the FDA is, how all the systems
work, how evil
this family was.
Unfortunately, it feels a lot like, okay, we've dealt with it.
The Sacklers are done.
You know, they paid $5 billion, $6 billion, no one's in jail.
If you look at the actual fines, Johnson & Johnson, they paid $25 billion in
fines.
They did?
Because they were four times as worse.
The Sacklers are just being pushed aside as, okay, those were the assholes,
they did it.
But meanwhile, 100,000 people OD'd from opioids.
I was under the impression, I guess I'm wrong, that the biggest one was Pfizer.
Wasn't the biggest one the biggest fine Pfizer for a while for that anti-inflammatory
drug?
That's different, but we're talking about opioids specifically.
Oh, so it's not like just pharmaceutical company fines?
No, this is just opioids, yeah.
Okay, so they fine people for lying about pharmaceutical drugs and then fine
people,
it's a different thing, like a different categorization?
Because they were saying that that was the biggest fine for like medical stuff.
What are we looking at?
$5 billion, landmark $26 billion opioid settlement.
Yeah.
So, but it sounds like more people were involved then?
If Johnson & Johnson's paying $5 billion, who's the other, where's the rest of
the $11 million coming from?
Well, I don't know, I don't know what this article is.
$21 million coming from.
But I believe Johnson & Johnson paid much more.
So there's two parts to it.
One is the pharmaceutical companies that were developing it and then...
Oh, it says it right here.
Because remember, they said it was non-addictive.
Right, right, right.
That was the problem.
And so when you continue to push that and they were saying, oh, it's not
working, up the dose, all of that was a problem.
But also Walmart, CVS, and Walgreens, they're now being fined for basically
overselling, just being pill mills, just legal drugs, Joe.
Just legal heroin being distributed to unwilling people or unwitting people.
So it's saying that this was the whole fine.
So it looks like Johnson & Johnson paid $5 billion, and then there was another
$21.
When's this article from, Jamie?
I'm not saying this is the whole thing either, but this is just from July.
But I'm pretty sure Johnson & Johnson wanted to pay $25 billion in total.
Okay, but let's just read this just for the heck of it, and then we'll figure
it out.
It just says, under the settlement proposal, the three largest U.S. drug
distributors, McKesson Corp, Cardinal Health, and America Source Bergen.
That's all one word for some strange reason.
America Source Bergen, one word, Corp, are expected to pay a combined $21
billion, while drug maker Johnson & Johnson, which manufactures opioids, would
pay $5 billion.
Well, the Sacklers aren't even in here, so something is missing from this, and
that's Purdue Pharma.
They took the fall, for sure.
They got the Hulu series, everything.
They took the fall, and now it's just like, it's over.
No one's talking about it anymore, but the problem still exists.
There's this term that everybody uses today, right?
And it's influencer.
You know, it's a term that they use for like social media people that sell
sneakers, and you know, people that are doing certain things, they become
influencers.
Yes.
And, but the biggest influencer is what's in the news and what's accepted.
Like, what we tolerate is the big influencer, and the people that get to
control, like, what seems normal, like, if your doctor's like, hey, Adam, you've
got a bad back, let's just accept it, and let's deal with the pain.
And then he's got you hooked on this stuff, and you can't get off, and you're
literally sick, and your body's shaking.
Who's responsible for that?
Is it the company that talked the doctor into doing that?
Is it the doctor for not looking into it enough, and just accepting that people
are fine just going out and getting whacked out on pill form heroin?
I think you have to go back much further.
You have to go back towards when modern medicine got funding, so this is when
we had the homeopaths, and then we had the allopaths, and the allopaths got all
the money mainly from Rockefellers and a couple of the big rich families of the
day.
And that all kind of came to a head very quickly.
There's a couple of great documentaries about the cure for cancer and how many
entrepreneurial doctors, even one rancher in Texas, had really figured it out.
I think his clinic still operates in Mexico.
People go there, and it's exactly the opposite treatment of what the allopath
medicine is, which is, you know, basically try and kill all the cells and hope
you survive it, you know, or radiation or chemotherapy.
So, once we went down that route, it was very easy for the big families to say,
okay, we're going to establish universities where we teach this, which is not
necessarily the look at the whole person, what is the person eating, etc.
It's like, diagnose the problem, prescribe the medication.
So, this is a problem that has been here.
It's throughout the system.
There's no education.
It's all just, that's what it is.
Don't you think, no education is a big one, and don't you think it also is a
function of doctors having these ridiculous student loan bills, and they get
out of school, and they're in debt hundreds of thousands of dollars sometimes.
It's capture.
And then they're in this system where they're trying to get people in and out
of their office as quick as possible.
It's capture.
Yeah.
A really good doctor should be sitting down with you and talking to you for a
long time.
You're trying to figure out what's wrong with your body.
The idea that he could do that in 15, 20 minutes and just write a thing, so you're
suicidal now because of that one?
Okay, let's throw that one away.
We're going to give you this one, Adam.
I think this might do the trick.
And next thing you know, you're on this new thing.
Well, we're in a good place now, I think, in the United States.
The rest of the world, I'm not so sure, but we're very entrepreneurial.
Yes.
I mean, the French had to make up a word for us, you know?
It's like we're so entrepreneurial.
And we're in, I think, a big decentralization moment where people are leaving
big tech platforms,
and that's going off towards more decentralized, smaller things that
interconnect in some way.
Travel is actually starting to unravel.
You know, we're getting new technology.
New aircraft will be much cheaper for smaller groups and more effective to fly
in.
But also medicine.
We're seeing a lot of healthcare workers, nurses, doctors, leaving the systems,
and off-the-shelf technology, doing their own telemedicine, concierge
healthcare,
where they only take 500 patients from the community, charge them $100 a month,
and as much time as you need or as often as you need.
And really, they build up a profile like doctors should do.
Functional medicine is a part of this.
So this is happening across the schooling.
Parents are taking their kids out of school.
They're creating their own school.
They're doing homeschooling.
That's been going on for a while with charter schools,
but I think we'll see even more smaller community schooling.
Everything is decentralizing.
We're moving away, the smart people, I think,
we're moving away from the big box stores, you know?
It's like people are literally getting sick from the shit in there.
Literally.
Literally getting sick from the shit that's being sold there.
So people are going back.
And I think that, you know, coming back to food intelligence,
China right now is hoarding grain.
They supply 60% of the world's grain.
They've been hoarding it for a while, actually, maybe a year and a half, two
years.
So we're going to have a shortage, a global shortage.
The meat processors, they're not interested in really using livestock anymore.
It's just a lot more profitable.
And we're training people, you know, oh, now it's an amazing thing.
Is it Burger King or someone just came out with, you know, new soy McNuggets?
You know, we're being kind of pushed into this.
And all we know is we put it in our face.
It has the same texture.
It tastes the right way.
And the profits are much better.
So that's where people are starting to reach out and say, well, you know,
why don't I go meet a rancher one day and, you know, and a local processo
