- The Joe Rogan Experience.
- What are we gonna do?
What is, what's, if you, from your perspective,
as a producer of a podcast that gets seen
by millions of people, you're looking at things
all the time, you're paying attention to trends,
you're looking at online activity, metaverse bullshit,
all this stuff, where are we going?
Something's happening, right?
Civilization is clearly at a tipping point, right?
- I could be cynical on that and go, maybe.
'Cause those days I don't look at my phone,
you forget stuff, it's going wild.
- For sure, but eventually it's gonna affect you,
like the way you pay your bills, whether or not
you get credit, it's gonna affect you, right?
If they institute some sort of a social credit system,
it's gonna affect you.
Are you worried about that at all?
- Yeah, I heard someone talk about something like that
over the weekend, like a global credit score
of some kind or something like that.
- Did you see the, we talked about the Yahoo article, right?
Where they said that they were gonna base it
in some part on your browser history?
- Well, they talked about it, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Yeah, the idea was they were floating it out there,
that your browser history might make you available
for more credit.
So the idea would be that if you gave up all the shit
you looked up, they would allow you to have more credit.
'Cause they know, hey, well, he's not Googling
bulletproof vests or fucking freeze-dried food.
- If they did that though, people would just make burner
accounts to look online instantly and it'd be over.
- Yeah, but if they track your fucking device, like who knows
what kind of ability they have to actually track your phone
or your laptop, right?
Like if Edward Snowden didn't tell us about their ability
to essentially like mass store every fucking phone call
and email you've ever made, if Edward Snowden didn't tell us
about what the NSA was cooking up, we would've never guessed it.
So who knows what the fuck is going on right now?
You should assume that everything you say is constantly
being monitored and recorded.
Whether you're saying it on a phone, off a phone.
Oh, look at Suzanne, she's back.
- Like Will Harris shared a post today about a guy
who went, spent the week at his mom's house
and is now getting advertisements for his mother's toothpaste.
- Oh my God.
- And they never talked about it and all,
but it explained why that's happening.
- Well, your phone's listening.
- No, no, it has nothing to do with that.
It's like, it knows everything you've bought
because of all of the terms and conditions you've done.
So like, it's checking your email and all of that stuff.
- Oh yeah, for sure, that too.
- And then linking that with, like I sort of said this
like a week or two ago.
It'll have your phone's social security number, if you will.
It's like a mobile ID number.
It's the EEIN and all that kind of stuff.
It's linking that with GPS data.
So it'll know like me and you and Suzanne
are all with each other.
- Right.
getting advertisements for stuff you're buying, thinking and hoping that you
might-
- Spaceships.
- See an advertisement.
- I'm getting-
- That's what I want.
- Like Suzanne will see an ad you missed.
Like, "Hey Joe, did you see this thing?
I bet you would love this."
- Well, what about when you talk about something and then you get an ad for
that something that
you've never seen an ad for before?
- It could be, it's-
- Could be a coincidence.
- It could have known that you were watching TV because it's coming through a
streaming
service now and it knows you would have seen the ad, so it's re-giving it to
you.
You know, it's like it's redistributing it to you.
- Right, like the only reason why I know about it is I've seen an ad.
- Yeah, I've been using YouTube TV for two or three years now and I recently
watched, I don't
remember the reason why, but like over the air football game, you know, like
over the antenna.
The advertisements are so different and I like, you don't even realize it.
- Right, but I have had conversations with you or with a lot of people where I'm
talking
about something and then all of a sudden I get an ad for that thing in like
Google Ads.
- I also think there's a lot of, it's how many ads do you get all day that you're,
that doesn't happen too and then you're like, "Oh shit, I mentioned that thing
yesterday."
- And also when you mention it, are you mentioning it because it's in the
public zeitgeist?
- Like why did you say it?
- Right, and then it gets out there.
That's possible too.
Like, but that's the thing is like, you have to be like really honest about
what, what's
the source of whatever the fuck it is.
And the problem is people get really tribal and when they get really tribal,
they don't
want to admit that maybe they don't totally understand what's happening.
Is my phone listening to me?
Fuck, it might be.
It seems like it is.
- Definitely.
- And why wouldn't it be?
They definitely have the technology.
Like if they know, if Suzanne Santos talking some shit, they can just listen to
that bitch's
phone all day long.
- Oh no!
- They know, right?
They know they can do that.
If Joe Rogan is saying something stupid, they can check his phone.
They know, you know they can.
I know they can.
We all know they can.
So if that's the case, like well, how are they doing that?
And are they using that technology all the time?
Like, why would you just use it on potential criminals or enemies of the state
or what have
you?
Well, you could use it on the entire fucking population and make trillions of
dollars in
avatars of revenue.
Like wouldn't you do that?
What are you, stupid?
Use it on everybody.
Hey, hey, guys, we just get metadata.
We don't even know who it is.
We're going to send the ads to their phones.
We give you a little piece, a little taste.
We'll paste the action.
When you sign-
Obviously, it's just ads.
Why are ads?
We know better, at least to some extent, that they're all for ads.
I don't.
See, I don't.
Well, some of them you do.
I buy coolers I don't need.
I'm like, I want a blue Yeti.
It looks so good.
I'm a moron.
That's when they've tapped into something that you're looking at.
I'll take your excess coolers.
I have a cooler for you.
There's a bunch of ads you don't fall for.
Yes.
But also, we sign up for it.
I saw a cock ring.
They're selling cock rings.
Oh my god.
But we sign up for that stuff.
Like when you sign your cell phone thing, there's all kinds of bullshit in
there.
Well, nobody reads terms and agreements.
When was the last time you read terms and agreements for anything?
I think it's a very rare breed that ever takes the time for that.
