Joe Rogan Experience #1461 - Owen Smith

owen smith hey how you feeling i feel good man i'm i'm excited we cheers cheers
man come on man
salute yeah we uh just tested owen um yes negative it's apparently there's been
some
controversy about this so just let me um right let everybody know right away
there's no shortage
of antibody tests what we're using there's no shortage of them people saying
why are people
on the front lines a lot of people it's just misunderstanding and confusion
these tests
there's no shortage of i understand some people in some places have a hard time
getting access to
the test that's not the case here so i take it upon myself to test everybody as
they come into the
studio this is not taking away from anybody that's on the front lines it's not
taking tests away from
any medical workers um the the test that they would use for them particularly
the they're using swabs i
i mean look man those fucking people that are working in those hospitals and
the medical workers
those people are legit heroes yes you know and if i found out that there was
something we were doing
that was somehow another taking away from their ability to be tested i would
never do it you know
so people got upset apparently because uh well also people writing articles
about things because
there's you know it's like it's a hot topic right they're home too yeah but i
get it i get it i'm not
hating i'm not mad i get it you know but when i posted that donnell and i were
rona free people
like someone someone posted some story well they did here's what's hilarious i'd
go out of my way to
not read comments and these motherfuckers are writing stories where they're
taking comments from
instagram and using them as quotes just some random magoo that's uh posting
something in this one of them
said that we were low-key flexing that we had tests that's hilarious that's
just someone just looking to
use the term low-key flexing and they don't have any place for it's like i
think he's low-key flexing
then he's got a corona test so it's a it's a test that um tests you for
antibodies and you were laughing
at my face the entire time you're a little nervous you're a little nervous but
just thinking of there
also there was something that i shared with you earlier today there was a new
study that uh jamie
see if you can pull up that study it is out of i think it's out of ucla is that
what it's out of um
it's uh it says early antibody tests indicate far more uh cases and a much
lower mortality rate right
so they think there's at least 400 000 people have been infected in in california
so the mortality rate
is way way lower than they previously thought it was at least in california you
know it obviously varies
this is a crazy disease it's crazy it doesn't make any sense it varies
depending upon what your
physical condition whether or not you've been smoking whether or not there's
apparently a great
benefit to exercising regularly even while you have it if you catch it
exercising but then there
was this crazy thing what is that guy's name the fox thing put up we'll do the
first i'm trying to
find it's la times and it's got the subscription blocker on it oh these sons of
here i'll
send you another one okay a different one there's a there's one on la.com oh i
belong to la times i
can give you mine look at you i support journalism i do too but not la times i
like that it reads like
movies there i get it i just i don't have the time for that here it goes uh
early antibody test of
indicates far more covet 19 cases lower mortality rate um there's a decrease in
the number of deaths
the study indicates that there could be hundreds of thousands of people could
be infected without
knowing it that's what's so weird about it let me ask you this question though
can you explain mortality
rate this is like yes the amount of people that get it how many of them die so
if it's a high
mortality rate it's like yeah right like ebola right vicious mortality rate yes
really but rabies the
worst 100 yes rabies is like 99.99 the only time they they if they catch it
before the the symptoms set
in you survive survive but if they don't catch it before the symptoms suddenly
like if you just get
rabies you don't get over it on your own every black person i know always
crosses the street when they see
a random dog like it's like when you live in these communities and and and
people don't have their
dog leash they go it's okay he's safe like dude i've been bitten by dogs it's
like i'm gonna take
your word for this this nobody loves dogs more than me i love dogs but random
dogs like you never know
what someone did to that dog you know you never know how people treat that dog
yeah and i've had a
bunch of sketchy dogs i've had dogs that i got from the pound that were super
sketchy you just knew
i came home once one of my dogs killed my other dog oh my living room my living
room was a goddamn
crime scene i'm like oh it's just a little outline of the dog yeah oh yeah i've
had some i've had
some bad experience that was a rescue dog as well yeah i've had some bad
experiences with dogs when
i was a kid uh we we adopted a dog that had distemper a doberman and he st he
started like
his eyes were like glazed over and he's snarling at us barking us i'm like oh jesus
christ i couldn't
i couldn't yeah we i grew up in apartments so we we couldn't have dogs and then
uh so i had a cat
named taco my dad gave him to me and uh i went to go visit him in the bahamas
he gave me a cat i think
he knew it would piss my mom off and so i had a cat growing up name taco bring
it back from you oh yeah
i came back with a cake a cake uh from the from the conliffe bakery that they
uh that they have
over there and uh and a um and a cat a cake and a cat my mom was pissed see if
you can find this
conversation jamie that they're look it's so and it's it says they're joking
but it also has a
question that says that they're joking no but that's mediate it says they're
joking right yeah every other
website is not saying they're joking it doesn't sound like they're joking i
think they're trying to come
up with some sort of a cover for it but let's let's play what what he said it's
john roberts who is a
correspondent for fox and then who is the other guy the other guy works for the
new york times uh
doug mills he's a photographer doug okay so now let's it says apparently joking
i it doesn't sound
like they're joking play play what it says because john let me explain it here
john roberts comes in
and uh it's going to play an ad before this jamie so kill the volume uh john roberts
comes in and when
he comes in uh he's not wearing a mask and he tells the other gentleman you
could take the mask off
and he tells him about this la study go ahead play it there
what's up all right man where do you go baby you can take out the mask the uh
case fatality rates
like 0.1 to 0.3 according to is it really that's uh that's reassuring usc
everybody here has been
vaccinated anyway usc and l.a county public health come up with a study they
found that there are 7 000
cases in california but they really believe that there are anywhere from 221 442
000 people who
were infected really yeah so that makes it 0.1 2 0.3 there's a study to give it
up right there
yeah just give it to that
so it suggests the case of salary it's going to 10.
wow what's your right line with the food yeah exactly
so it was a host i don't know he was a host so here's here's what's weird about
that one
that guy says well we've all been vaccinated here anyway right now maybe he was
joking
maybe he's got a weird sense of humor long joke it's a weird joke weird yeah
now they have done some trial vaccines there are some vaccines that are in
trial there was a woman in
seattle she was the first person to uh get tested and uh i sent this uh stuff
to uh
matt staggs earlier today and he sent something to me um there there have been
several different
there's 70 coronavirus vaccines right now that are under development with uh
three in human trials
okay so there there have been some things going on right now and the first
person treated with the
coronavirus is in seattle there's an article about that where she's talking
about getting tested but
this this guy's saying we've all been vaccinated like i don't know what that
means it's hard to tell
people people have weird senses of humor right like if you listen to comics
right and if you took some
of the that we say and wrote it down and put it down these are terrible people
yeah yeah they're eating
babies they're they're you know they're raping old ladies you know like we we
say ridiculous all the
time and we get used to it right um maybe they say ridiculous too i don't think
so especially look
where they are look what they're dealing with right now right but the other guy
coming in saying
you don't have to wear a mask so roberts comes in with no mask on yeah it says
you don't need a
mask to take the mask off yeah well that study's weird man because okay maybe
maybe the the i believe
the mortality rate is correct i believe that it's way less deadly than they
thought it was but they
had to prepare for something that they thought was going to be real deadly
because it's real deadly in
italy so but the question is like there's so many questions why is it so deadly
in italy is it because
they're older people is it because they smoke why is it so deadly in new york
city like is it because
they're stacked on top of each other i don't know is it definitely definitely
definitely that has to
have something to do no distancing there also okay so i i you know i have an
office and i get uber eats
and when it's things started popping my uber eats driver was an older black man
he's walking like
mad close to me like what's up he goes black people can't get this i'll be all
right and i'm like whoa
man what are you talking so i get the thing i'm not gonna lie part of me was
like okay but
i'm like why am i taking advice from this this the uber driver guy then a
personal friend of mine his
dad who i also know um black ski trip he started this black ski uh organization
and they went to idaho
and they came back and a lot of the the they were older gentlemen but a lot of
them got infected with
the virus two of us since passed away from it so they're in their son of um it's
in the it's in the
la times it's the first article his son um did a day-by-day social media post
to try to turn the
the narrative that black folks you can catch this this is what's happening to
my dad he was like 61 i
want to say and so i i i so that's why i was very nervous in the face when we
when we took the test
it's like i want to um have the confidence that that man had walking in the
room but i'm also very i'm
more of uh safety and sorry uh then the i can't wait to be at that space you
can take your mask off you
know what i mean i need i you know because i have two young children i'm just
like i'm yeah i'm just
i'm more on the caution side but i'm not um telling anyone what they should
believe when i believe but
just for me i'm just like i'm i'm hearing about what it does to you like just
just hearing about what
it does to your lungs and how to expand it makes it hard for air to get through
when you need a
ventilator and all that you like what if your lungs collapse which is what
happened to one of these
gentlemen and then it's just it's it's a wrap but up but it is like um i don't
know i i don't know the
specifics of of how anything else plays out but i am also hearing stories from
the other side of people
who are who are like fairly you know within my six degrees who are succumbing
to it so i'm just like
i i i you know that's great man but i i um i'm not i'm not there yet like you
don't mean like
i think so i am more like first of all anybody could catch it but second of all
i think that if
your immune system has any holes in it that gets in right and and it can you up
look at michael yo
michael yo is a healthy guy he's strong he he lifts weights all the time right
he's relatively
