Joe Rogan Experience #605 - Barry Rothbart

the joe rogan experience
very rothbard ladies and gentlemen what's up dude oh um nothing i'm feeling
good california weed
gotcha right a little bit that queen's weed is just not the same
no no it's there is no weed in queens queens is you got to go to the bronx i
used to go up to
fordham to get weed queens is where are you from well i used to i was born in
new jersey oh okay i
lived in boston for most of my young adult life when i lived in new york i
lived in new rochelle
which is yeah which is outside of it but that's like close to where weed is
yeah but i never i
didn't smoke weed back then very very rarely i didn't really smoke weed till i
was 30 living here
right so i discovered weed and i was just like man movies are great who knew
ice cream is delicious
who knew that movies were amazing yeah everything is better yeah everything i
was like oh my god
there's like ben folds is great you know you're just as soon as you take your
first hit of weed you're
just like oh my god ben folds and those are the things that people don't like
about people that
smoke weed when they talk about it like yeah oh my god this movie's amazing oh
look at the sunset
shut up but it is it is yeah the sunset's incredible it's a weird thing that's
a weird thing with the
the the people that don't like the effects of pot because the effects of pot is
just like you become
calmer and like super appreciative of everything like you know right they'll
call it like stoner talk
but what it really is like recognizing the wonder and things that you ordinarily
take for granted you
know i think a lot of that has to do with time dilation because things feel
longer so i think you're
able to appreciate things in the moment a little bit more yeah but definitely
possible that's like a
minute feels like two minutes yeah i think there's a bunch of things going on
right no that's it that's
the only thing why does life seem uh shorter though like it seems like every
year goes faster is that
because we're so stoned and it's like it doesn't add up no i think that's just
a facet of recognizing
how brief it really is as you get older and you hit 40 you go oh jesus if
everything goes great i'm at
the halfway point like if i don't get cancer hit by a bus die in a car accident
like all these different
variables that you start to consider and then you realize like how when you
work all day too you
think about how quick a goddamn day goes by and you're saying that things slow
down when you get
older no i'm saying you're saying it slows down when you smoke weed and you
appreciate everything
but yet life seems like it's going faster at the same time but as i've gotten
older i've actually
been way more appreciative of things i don't know what like in my 20s i was
just like who cares
yeah no i'm way more appreciative too but i agree with you that time does seem
like it's going
faster it's february this week oh my god yeah it's february isn't that amazing
it was just january yeah
well not only that it was just july it was hot it's like a year is not nearly
as long as we used
to think it was and i think part of that also is when you're a kid you're in
school
and those nine months of classes seem like forever it's an eternity because you're
forced to do something
you don't want to do yeah once you get older and you know you kind of recognize
what that really was
you realize how short a year actually is but if you ask a 21 year old right now
it's like is is a year
long and they're like dude it's totally long like i wonder if they if they feel
that's a good impression
of a 21 year old well it's a percentage of their life too you know it's so long
that's true if you're
20 years old and you know yeah you see you see things in a different
perspective when you're older
yeah you know you could look back on two years and it's just like oh my god
like that two years was
nothing yeah when you're a kid you're just like that's like a third of my life
two years we're time
travelers yeah yeah i mean when you're a little kid like every year is a huge
deal you know that's
why you say like i'm four and a half you know no one says i'm 24 and a half
that's true
imagine if you were dating a girl and you go how old are you she's like 24 and
a half you're like i
gotta go you're fucking you're six you're like you have some genetic abnormality
that makes you look
like you're 24 24 and a fourth yeah there's that's a weird thing about kids
today right with this um
this thing that they're saying that hormones and the meat are causing them to
reach puberty quicker
than ever before and that girls that are like 12 and 13 years old they look
like women and they're
getting fur have you noticed girls are getting furrier lately i think it's from
me this is your own
subs so wait hold on your own test well have you noticed that no there's
hormones and meat that
are making kids grow up quicker well they there's a bunch of factors that they
believe
are making kids grow quicker and reach puberty quicker and also become larger
they think it's a
high protein diet that americans take like we we have incredibly abundant
resources when it comes to food
crazy meat protein yeah all hormone filled and and on top of that antibiotics
they're thinking
antibiotics are having a weird effect on people because you're absorbing a
certain amount of it from the
food that you eat right there's a lot of variables well why are when you look
back at humans from like
a hundred years ago why are they so much smaller they didn't have much food is
that it yeah it was
hard to get food i don't even mean fat smaller like just yeah that's a that's a
function of having
yeah well it's not having enough food right you know you when you look at what
people can do today
we just go into a supermarket you get cold meat like that wasn't that wasn't
that easy right right
there was no freezers i just saw a documentary about the russian hockey team
and they were saying how
they came to america for the first time in the 70s like the one that we beat in
the 80s and they were
like you can get vegetables in the winter what does this mean yeah right how do
you get fruit and
vegetables when people can't grow them here yeah our shipping the ability to
get oranges from florida
to new mexico it's incredible like that's never existed in time so 100 years
ago they had to eat
what was near them yeah and they had the ice house where i'm at tonight in pasadena
was an ice house it
was a place they would take giant blocks of ice from the great north they would
put them on boats they
would put them in these cargos that were insulated they had these thick walls
and steel and all this
different stuff to try to encapsulate the cold right and then they would bring
them to pasadena and you
would go and buy ice and you would put it in your ice box so if you had milk or
something like that and
you didn't want to go bad you want it to last like two days no preservatives
just no preservatives
right they didn't have any you had to just store everything everything but but
not only that everything
went quick you couldn't you had to keep shopping you had to go to the grocery
store like every other
day and when are we talking when is this a hundred years ago a hundred years
ago yeah so the people
that you're looking at these little tiny like civil war people men were like
125 pounds that was like
the average size for a man yeah yeah well athletes look yeah i mean you know
everybody's always comparing
like what if current athletes played athletes from the 60s it would destroy
them it would be such a
slaughter people people are bigger faster and not even without steroids there
would be a few people
that would it's always yeah it's always crazy when people are just like well
what if will chamberlain
went against lebron james and it's like not even a contest but if will will
chamberlain was still a
giant man the other thing is if will chamberlain lived today they didn't have
the the game is so
quicker and different in every sport but don't you think that they like will
chamberlain was a super
athlete he was a big tall strong dude so if he just got involved in the same
sort of strength and
conditioning programs that today's modern athletes get involved with understood
nutrition recovery all
the different shit that like kobe bryant does like kobe bryant was one of the
first guys to go to
germany and get that blood spinning procedure and i know he's on he was on top
of the cryogenic thing
too before anybody he goes to 250 degree below zero booths for like three
minutes why is that legal if
steroids aren't well it's not as good that's why it's pretty good but it's not
as steroids steroids
turned you into a super person right but what these guys can do today with all
that is partially why
they're so good yeah and also that people imitate their atmosphere if you're
around a bunch of michael
jordans and yeah that's what it is it elevates the game it's like not that the
physical capabilities of
the elite athletes are that much different i think you just you have to be
better yeah you look at your
the people who came before you and you're not going to be like well i'll settle
for half of what they
did yeah you're going to be like i got to be better than that could you imagine
if like babe ruth came
back and tried to compete like against jose canseco when jose canseco was in
his juice in prime
first of all i feel like i feel like babe ruth would be brought up on rape
charges immediately
just there would just be like he would be the bill cosby of baseball like that
was probably
just like oh yeah of course she said no what you're on the yankees yeah
well i think rape was probably like super duper duper common you know a
thousand years ago like
almost everybody raped i guarantee you you can go back to a point of like
really primitive man
what it was unbelievably common and i think that's like one of the things that
people are
freaking out about today like when you know this whole argument about rape
culture and discussion
about rape jokes and all this thinking like in a court like how funny of a
defense that would be
go back a hundred years ago man it's totally normal so i have a slave dude do
you not know how this
country was founded you know that's like the argument the second amendment
argument you know this
country's founded the right to bear arms it's also founded by people that own
slaves right like those
people you worship were slave owners yeah and it was founded by people who
couldn't fit in in europe
yeah you know people who just were like i don't you know i'm i'm the weirdo
here and people that were
so fed up that they got in a boat with no vegetables and they went across the
ocean no vegetables no energy
bars nothing a lot of them got sick as people died on that trip i mean that's a
long trip with shitty
shitty food yeah what did they eat back then like beef jerky and stuff like
what could they preserve
fish they probably just ate fish if they caught they did they catch fish is
that are you is that
proven they would have to try to probably fish why would you not you're in the
ocean that'd be crazy
i would assume grain probably a lot of grain well they're also always traveling
too like when you're
fishing like presumably the law even if you're trolling which means like
pulling behind i would
imagine the boat would be going faster than that if it's got oars i mean and uh
sails rather those big
crazy fucking sails i bet they're going faster than you would want to troll for
so you're not going to
slow down on the off chance that you catch a fish what's trolling trolling is
like when they take a
line and they pull it behind a boat with a hook and a a flashy lure and the
fish see it and they
think it's a fish trying to swim away and they chase after it and they eat it
they almost it's like
instinctive they can't help themselves but it's really great yeah it's a boring
way of fishing i just went
deep sea fishing in redondo beach this weekend we just dr
