Joe Rogan Experience #1125 - Candace Owens

four three two one boom and we're live candace owens how you doing i'm good how
are you i'm
i'm very good thank you thank you for asking a lot of controversy these days
candace i guess
a little bit in the twitter verse in the world yeah just everybody's uh excited
about being
outraged yeah exactly that's exactly right there's controversy every five
seconds you know i had a
guy on before the guy that you just met uh dr robert shock he's a geologist
from boston university
and he is a part of this uh back dating of the ancient uh the history of egypt
and they're
talking about you know all these different structures that might be thousands
and thousands
of years older than people think they are and one of the things that he's
working on is that
there was coronal mass ejections from the sun somewhere around 10 000 years ago
that basically
killed off a giant percentage of the population on the planet lightning storms
millions of times
greater than anything we've ever experienced before that literally which like
lightning coming down
like rain barbecuing the ground killing people people forced into caves
civilization resets it's
almost like we need something like that to really be upset about because
instead of being upset about
roseanne or samantha b or yeah samantha b used the c word today that naughty
girl it's just outrage
culture yeah i say everyone should just wait like 48 hours if everybody hates
you and then they'll be on
to the next person that they have to hate yeah well that's one of the cool
things about the internet is
the cycle boy it hits you hard but then it goes back pretty quick really fast
yeah it's never that
serious it's not like the old days when someone got in trouble with something
boy that trouble stuck
you know i don't know that time i i i genuinely don't know that time how old
are you 29 i just turned 29.
yeah so you're very very young in the stirring culture yeah exactly this is all
new stuff to you
it's new yeah and i think the thing that sucks for me is that i'm really
conscious of it like i wish
i thought all of this was normal it would be easier but like even when i do
things like just before this
i was like oh let me do an instagram story that i'm about to go on joe rogan i'm
like hey guys like
we on joe rogan i'm like how weird i'm like holding my phone in the middle of
yeah talking to this
device at least you're aware of it but it kind of sucks that i'm aware of it
like it would be so much
more natural if i wasn't aware of it you know girls that just hey guys and they
all day and it feels
normal so being conscious of it is kind of not that fun that's probably the
best way to approach it
though to be conscious of how goofy it is because if you're just swept away in
the zeitgeist i don't
know i think it's better ignorance is really bliss i think yeah i think there
are people that think
it's the most normal thing in the world to just put your entire life on social
media and i actually
don't think it's the most normal thing in the world but my entire life is on
social media
well i've just met you but you seem like a very bright woman and that's
probably part of the problem
yeah is you're not stupid if you're stupid you'd be like putting everything on
instagram and you'd be
do you do the selfie face this is my favorite thing this thing when they do
that weird thing with their
now i don't i don't i'm really bad at selfies my cousin always has to take them
if we're in the same
picture um but i'm getting good at my like instagram angle and like the things
that i say like oh do you
guys like this eyeshadow like it's like it's it's that ridiculous my friend cameron
haynes loves you
he saw you on fox news he's like who's this girl she's making so much sense he's
like super hardcore
conservative yeah so he likes when anyone is like young and conservative he
like loves ben shapiro
he loves all that yeah so he got excited about you yeah people have been really
excited i think
it's just because i i'm i'm really unapologetically myself and today that's
like
it's like seeing an alien well it's hard to pull off right because people get
mad at you people are
trying to this there's one thing that is absolutely happening whether people
like it or not or believe
it or not is that people are trying to silence other people's opinions that's
correct if you say
something that doesn't jive with them instead of saying wow this lady's kind of
out there or she's
saying some that i'm not sure i agree with instead of that they're like fire
her get her off the air
you know what boycott boycott it's insane the outrage culture is insane it's
like do you really want
someone to lose their job because you didn't like a tweet like how how weird
are some of these
situations i'm like do you really want this person not to be able to feed their
family because you
don't like a tweet people are crazy they just they find targets and they want
to go after
them there was a bunch of people that were writing writing boycott joe rogan
because i was talking
about having roseanne barr on the show tomorrow it's insane i know it's it's it's
like she doesn't
have a right to speak she can't even talk she can't even talk she can't even
talk even though i'm sure
you don't agree i don't agree with what she said right but the idea that she
can't like have a
conversation after that to me is like the most bizarre thing in the entire
world but that is what outrage
culture is yeah it's like they need you off the island she doesn't even agree
with what she said
right i know she apologized nobody cares she's on ambien she's she's taken all
kinds of antidepressants
she's drinking she's out of her head like my mom uh took ambien and she just
told me about
this today i forgot i forgot about the story because i was telling her the
story about another friend of
mine on the podcast yesterday i talked about how a friend of mine got on ambien
made a full meal
cooked it ate it went to sleep got up in the morning and had zero recollection
of it was in total denial
of it it happens that's 100 my mom told me that she went to bed got up in the
morning and she had got
up and put red lipstick and and um uh and nail polish all over the white
bathroom carpet those little
little shag she just painted on it like a child no ambien she had zero recollection
of it she's like
this is scary like she's painted like a little kid would like a two-year-old
would get a hold of your
lipstick and start drawing on the walls yeah she did that on this shag carpet
ambient is just like
sleepwalk like it instantly brings you into sleepwalk and you can do anything
when you're on ambien i i had
a bunch of college friends used to do ambien and like bizarre stories would
just come out i'm like
very anti-pills i don't take anything nothing nothing at all you drink i don't
drink you don't
do anything i don't do anything you're a tea toddler i mean i wasn't always i
just i kind of got i guess
you could say it's like a little bit of paranoia but once i started down this
like journey of realizing
that like home oh my god i lived for 26 years and my mind wasn't my own like i
thought like being a
liberal was okay and like everything that was said on tv was okay then it's
like very easy to sort of get
a little paranoid and go okay well what else did i do i accept normally that is
actually
retrospective like a little weird and i started thinking about drinking i'm
like how can drinking
possibly be the cure to everything like it's like you're getting married drink
happy you're sad drink
right you're a little embarrassed have some you know drink you want to come out
of your shell drink
like no matter what emotion you have there's like a liquor designed for it so i
was like this is a
little shady like i don't know i just feel like and then i did like a little
bit of math and i calculated
that since i started drinking when i was like 14 years old and i would say like
fair like i drink
every weekend probably more in college maybe five days a week in college right
um then i was like
wow i've technically drank for like three years of my life and that feels weird
so i'm just not going
to drink anymore so you put in your time yeah take a little break yeah taking a
little break take a
little break yeah and which is weird because now i go places and i'm like oh i
don't drink and everyone
gets really uncomfortable and they're like oh okay i'll have a glass of water i'm
like i'm an alcoholic you
can have a beer in front of me you know but um yeah that's a weird one right
like if if other
people are drinking and you don't they're like huh like i'm the weird one yeah
yeah they don't they
don't trust you almost like it's like they're just like i can't trust this one
yeah i'm like water's
good yeah because if everybody's fucked up you're like man we were fucked up
and then whoever did weird
shit it's like it's okay we're all hammered right but if one person's sober you
don't like that person
writing shit down yeah and i'm at the age where all my friends are getting
married and like the
first thing they say when i say i don't drink is like you're not gonna drink at
my wedding and i'm
like well yeah is that okay like can i still come and like they feel like you're
ruining their wedding
right because you're not gonna drink it it's like a very strange thing the
culture of drinking as a
non-drinker you really realize how bizarre it is socially did you take off how
long i stopped
drinking last november so it hasn't been like super long but long enough for
people to really have
some weird feelings about it and just i'm just sober man i don't know it's not
a bad thing yeah i took
a month off i took a we did sober october no pot no booze and then we had to do
15 yeah 15 hot yoga
classes 90 minute hot yoga classes in a month it was just a bet between me and
my four friends
it was it was a stupid bet because there wasn't even any stakes right like if
one of us didn't do
it we had to throw a party but we all did it so it was like pointless but we
learned a lot you learn
a lot about just you learn a lot about that even if you don't think you use
alcohol or pot as an escape
you do you do you do you lean on it a little bit yeah and i always talk about
like people are like
what are the differences you've noticed and there have been so many differences
but i think like the
number one thing is just like the amount of confidence that i have like i have
this theory
now that alcohol like gives you anxiety like i used to be stressed out like i
realized that i was
self-diagnosing myself i'd be like i'm not a morning person i was probably just
like perpetually hung over
and never like now i'm like i jump up now in the morning i have so much energy
so i'm like wow i
wonder how many things i've been like psyched like self-diagnosing i'm like oh
yeah my skin just got bad once
i turned 26 like skin immediately clears up so i'm like wow maybe i i just had
like so much alcohol
in my system that i like developed random things like just kind of making
excuses i mean it's
definitely not good for you it's certainly not good for you five six nights a
week no and the best way
to like stop drinking is to like read an article that freaks you out about like
what drinking does like
this is what i do this is like how i train myself to do things i'll like read
some really extreme
thing on the internet and then be like okay like liver sclerosis no like like
this guy had this
theory that like alcohol and people call alcohol like spirits or whatever that
like when you drink
like it allows like evil spirits to come into your body like like the most
bizarre thing and i was just
like yeah i can't drink anymore gotta keep away from evil spirits so that's
what you used yeah yeah i just
like read weird articles and then i'm like i'm not gonna drink anymore i'm done
i'm over it and then i
realized like who else doesn't drink like the most like successful like donald
trump has never drank
alcohol which is just fascinating bec
