Joe Rogan Experience #1032 - Colin Moriarty

three two one hee-haw hee-haw Colin how are you buddy I'm good man how are you
good thanks
what's going on what's cracking not a lot it's a honor for you to ask me back I
appreciate it
oh my pleasure dude I had a great time with you last time it's good to see but
thank you good to
see you too uh congratulations you were just showing me around the space thank
you very cool
thank you I'm very excited for you I'm excited too I bet thanks man appreciate
it Jamie's moving
shit around what happened all right oh I was out of line um so uh welcome and
uh how's Colin's last
stand going it's good it's fun it's uh you know it's I always describe it it's
not big it's just
got its little you know slice of the internet and uh it's attracted you know
videos do 20 30 40 50
thousand views and and uh I have a that's a good spot that's a good place to be
yeah I'm happy with
it and uh you know I have like 4,500 people on patreon supporting me and I don't
serve ads on
anything I do so I'm just trying to make it organic and see how far I can take
it and and then go from
there Sam Harris does his entire podcast that way he doesn't have any ads which
uh I think it's
amazing yeah it's cool like I have no I you know I worked at IGN for a long
time the video game site
and my old company so we had ads and I have no problem with them but I was
trying to just kind of
you know say like I don't need more than what you're giving me this is plenty
and I'm doing fine and
uh so you know maybe I'll do ads on future products but not with this yeah well
yeah I mean why not
right I mean just if you're enjoying it I mean you yeah do you could do
different products you do I
mean different projects rather you could do it different ways yep you know it's
it's it's interesting
now to try to figure out like what's the best way for people to put their stuff
out there like I know a
lot of people like in the podcast world some people use SoundCloud some people
use other things some
people just go straight to YouTube I mean it's uh there's a lot of
experimentation going on now
yeah and I I'm always fascinated by that particular thing about how I do a
podcast now just on the
side um called Fireside Chats where I just have random people in to talk about
random things
um and uh similar but not nearly as good as your show and uh I I'm always
amazed that people are
like why don't you put this on YouTube and I'm like you just want to stare at a
static image on YouTube
there's like not I don't even have it on video people just it's just about how
people consume the
content so maybe like a spread shot approach is probably the smartest idea well
if you could
hire someone to do images that represent the conversation maybe that would be a
reason to
have it on YouTube but I hear you yeah it's people just get excited about a
platform they get locked
into a platform and then they just digest everything in that platform whether
it's Snapchat or Instagram
or YouTube they just it's and it's weird with Jamie and I've been talking about
this a lot lately
about like what what makes it through like how did YouTube become the only one
where people upload
videos that seems insane it seems like that seems so straightforward you have
it so people can upload
videos you put ads on those videos and that's it I mean it seems like there
would be hundreds of
those sites yeah I think they were just first and it was kind of like a it was
like ubiquitous quickly so
I find that with a lot of like social media too like you think about um like
Snapchat's really
like faltering now because Instagram's basically stolen its entire platform and
it's all about like
kind of this these little monopolies yeah that exist monopolies for pictures
monopolies for video
monopoly for you know um interacting with friends and family on Facebook and
stuff like that there's
no think about there's no Facebook competitor you know no no I mean Facebook
seems to me to be a
more indulgent medium though it seems like like I read some I like sometimes I'll
see people's Facebook
posts and I just see the first paragraph and then I'll see how long it goes I'm
like fuck reading
that just keep moving this is too much it's a yeah it's like I find uh my
girlfriend just deactivated
her Facebook account and I was like I don't find so much utility in it anymore
you know I thought
especially after the election I'm like everyone hates each other on here and it's
not fun I already have
Twitter for that you know but like you're saying on Twitter you can't go on and
on and on and on about
how much you hate Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton so it was there was like no
way to to retreat I
find that I don't even use Facebook that much anymore I use it because my
Instagram posts directly to
Twitter and to Facebook that's how I use it and but it's interesting that it
shows that and the amount
of people that engage like my Facebook as a fraction of what everything else
has and I think it's because
I don't use it yeah I think I think algorithmically the more you use it
probably the more
it massages you to the top of of a person's feet or whatever because that's
what's annoying about
Facebook is you can't put anything in order you have no idea what you've seen
already I was just
talking to someone the other day I only have like 700 friends on there or
whatever a lot of people
from college that I might have had a class with or something and I'm like why
do the same 15 people
just show up and I don't even interact with these people so I feel like I'm
missing a ton of stuff and
I still find Twitter is the most useful for me people love Facebook though for
arguing they fucking love
it man I've gone over some political arguments that people have on Facebook and
it's like Jesus how do you have the time for
this don't you people have other things you enjoy yeah no there's something
about that sort of tit for tat
verbal exchange like trying to one-up someone and trying to make a better point
and it's I feel like
it's replaced sport for people you know for some folks I feel like it's a game
and sort of what in
some sort of a way like a text-based video game or something yeah like an old
text adventure or something
yeah I I what I find in the one interesting interesting thing about Facebook
that I think is is worth noting is that
it's typically real people with real names and real pictures so at least they're
putting themselves out there yeah as opposed to Twitter
kind of the anonymous nature of that so I respect that for the most part on
Facebook but again I agree with you
it's like no one's winning this argument it's just a repetitive how many times
am I going to see the same thing over and over again
I've kind of just withdrawn from that entirely because yeah well you know I
wanted to talk to you about internet
controversy because when we had you on the first time it was kind of just after
your whole thing had happened with
this he'd made this one like incredibly innocuous tweet it was uh like uh a day
without woman or something like that
yeah yeah silence like what was that it was tweet it was a peace and quiet
hashtag a day without a woman
yeah I mean which is like an al bundy joke maybe yeah and but the thing is like
if that happened today
nobody would give a shit it's weird it's like then like it was it was a
boiling controversy like the first bubbles of just social media outrage it
seems like or you were one
of the first bubbles right well like I explained you originally I feel like it
was partially a political
hit because of my the industry I worked in and all that kind of stuff but also
like I was telling you
before we started the more I've had time to think after all these things things
happened I launched a new
company I was working 70 hours a week I had no bandwidth to really right like
think about what the hell
happened the more I think about the angrier I actually get about about like how
I had to go through that
and watch other people also kind of go through similar things as the outrage
machine just eats people and spits
them out as they go along when you stop and think about what you actually said
and that that what that
actually caused like that actually caused you to stop working with people yeah
like this one silly joke like they
don't know you they don't know you know that one joke that one thing that you
said is so awful and
outrageous that all of our years of collaborating working together trying to do
projects trying to be
creative having fun all the conversations we've had about life and about humans
and politics and men
those are all out the window man you made a joke that I find marginally
offensive maybe on a certain
day marginally offensive I don't even think it's if it was a woman if a woman
said that like a day of like
peace and quiet a day without men I would I would go ha yeah that's what I
would go ha yeah I keep
moving and move on with your life with the idea like oh I got to get this lady
fired she's a terrible
person the only thing that I can think about is that I was at least in a
position where it didn't
destroy me right or whatever like I was I actually am doing you know
financially better and and feel
happier and what I'm doing now so it didn't it kind of backfired on the people
that were trying to
do whatever they were doing to me anyway but I feel for the people that find
themselves in similar
situations that don't have and I don't you know like some some sort of internet
clout or some sort
of community that can can rally around them and lift them up which is what my
community did to me
which I'm so appreciative of so I just think about how it's just sad like I I
don't know that I've ever
been so offended by something someone has tweeted or even said that I like went
out of my way to
to make it personal and try to destroy them I'm not saying people don't do
terrible shit happens all
the time we're seeing that play out you know with Harvey Weinstein and all
these kinds of things
absolutely awful really awful things right and I feel like people are kind of
like being distracted by
the shiny object in the corner when they're losing sight of what what's
important well today it feels
like there's blood in the water you know I mean it just it seems like there's
so many people going
after so many people it's just people are running around looking for targets I
the way I imagine I
imagine like the internet and people on the internet being like an angry mob
running through the streets
frothing at the mouth just looking for somewhere to point their gun I mean that's
really what it
feels like it feels like there's definitely some real targets out there yeah
there's definitely some
this Kevin Spacey thing is a scary thing I mean apparently Rosie O'Donnell
started tweeting that
he had been doing this forever and that this is the tip of the iceberg and
there's a bunch of boys
that he went after I don't know what's true what's not true and I'm assuming
but that's that's real
that's a real horrible thing that's not a joke it's not someone with an innocuous
maybe off-color joke
I mean this is like real stuff right so I think the the good part is all this
awful behavior
predatory evil you know all the Harvey Weinstein and whatever else there's
probably a million other
ones right that stuff's going to get exposed but it seems like the the negative
part about it is that
people are looking for targets they just you know yeah and that well that's
what kind of scares me I
was telling I don't know if you're a black mirror fan but I was I've only
watched one episode but I
loved it okay yeah I highly recommend you you'll get lost I watched two
episodes I love that show and
it's it's uh it what's going on now reminds me a little bit of like a black
mirror episode where
like it's like people are like you said are targeting others but I feel and I
feel like
accusations are part of the process are part of of due process really that
starts with the accusation
but I feel like people aren't you know and I
