Joe Rogan Experience #530 - Vince & Emily Horn, from Buddhist Geeks

if you hear those clicks that's me typing ladies and gentlemen i'm not the
fastest typer in the
world i get it done uh this episode of the podcast is brought to you by blue
apron blue
apron is one of my newest and most favoritest that's not a real word um
sponsors because
what essentially is is they send you all the ingredients for healthy meals and
you cook
them yourself by their directions with their recipes all the portions are
measured out perfectly
along with spices and detailed photographs that show you what to do in all the
various parts of the
recipe it's really interesting and it's kind of fun too because cooking you
know if you if you get like
a recipe book and then you have to go to the store you have to buy the
individual ingredients you have
to measure them and weigh them and all that stuff that's a lot of extra work
that blue apron sort
of cuts out and they also provide you with a wide variety of different meals to
choose from which
make it which makes it interesting it becomes like a little bit of a project
which i think is fun
um but really really yummy foods like coconut curry salmon steaks um swedish
meatballs with braised kale
stuffed cabbage rolls i've eaten several meals from them so far they they're
the amount of calories that
you get from these meals also it's it's pretty surprising it's 500 or 700
calories is just very low
for uh really yummy delicious foods but they're all prepared and uh designed by
people who really know
how to make yummy delicious food uh it's not hard to do i'm not a great great
chef obviously did i have
to say that it's like saying i'm not a doctor uh i'm not a great cook i i know
how to cook a few things
but with this blue apron thing i find it fun i find like a little bit of a
project
you know it's a lot cheaper than ordering out you can get everything is nine
dollars and 99 cents per
meal that's all the ingredients in the exact right proportions with simple
recipe instructions right to
your door and like i said there's a wide variety of things that they're going
to send you and things
to choose from it's really delicious it's very healthy for you incredible meals
and uh i think
you'll be blown away by the quality and the freshness all of it comes in like
this uh styrofoam
container all sealed up with ice bags it's uh whatever they use ice packs
frozen things dry ice is that
what it is yeah all that shit whatever the stuff they use to keep it from rotting
that's what it
really is but it's delicious go to blueapron.com slash rogan and get your first

vincent are here from
buddhist geeks and uh let's just get cracking why fuck around legal zoom.com
music over rogan
the joe rogan experience train by day joe rogan podcast by night all day
i gotta figure out a better way to do commercials because it's always weird
with two two people out
of three are just sitting there and one person is talking doing a bunch of
money it creates an
uncomfortable air in the room am i right a little bit a little bit right it's a
little odd um buddhist
geeks uh somebody uh sent me uh a link i guess it was probably a couple weeks
ago on twitter to you
guys and right away i went oh this could be interesting a convergence of would
you say
spirituality buddhism and technology that's what you call and geeks which
always is somehow connected
with um impairment in vision which is very strange right like being very studious
and intelligent is
connected to your eyes are fucked like every you know i mean staring at screens
all day i think is
that what it must be right because as i've spent more time in front of the
computer my eyes have
steadily gotten worse um but your your image the logo is the buddha with
glasses on so even the divine
are not immune to the perils of lcd screens true enough right is there a better
way around this
to to uh to do something where it doesn't completely destroy your vision maybe
clairvoyance could develop
that capacity that's the only way but reading does it too right we've always
associated reading with
or is it just getting old and we're just blaming it on a bunch of other shit
could be that but i i think
it's staring at things up close you know there's just i think the eyes just get
used to staring at
things up close and then they just can't see far away anymore that's my theory
with me it's the
opposite though my up close vision is starting to suck but my my vision like
looking at you guys this
distance is fine it's perfect that might be age then yeah i think it's age
because also because when
i put on reading glasses um things just get sharper i'm like oh that's what
things really look like
you know like i could read everything without the glasses but then when i put
them on i see like the
like if you know you know look at pages you can see the actual detail the
texture and the paper itself
that's all gone to me that's all gone in the real world what is buddhist geeks
what are you guys doing
well we started um several years ago as a podcast doing this kind of thing
talking to people and um
really in the beginning it was just my sort of early 20s rebellion against the
buddhist tradition
and i wanted to uh talk to people that weren't part of the mainstream buddhist
world but had something
cool to say i thought so we just basically started by talking to some different
rebels a lot of gen xers
who were who were kind of coming up as as teachers and uh meditation you know
experts or masters and
it sort of started there just as a kind of whim project uh with a couple
friends and then people
responded so we kept doing it and we felt a sort of obligation to continue
exploring buddhism technology
culture the way it's globalizing and we just sort of from there have just been
on a sort of eight-year
odyssey uh and emily recently uh about four years ago kind of joined the team
and we have been doing
the mom and pop thing since i love it i love that buddhism has rebels yes
absolutely what is the main
the main thing that people fight not fight against but rebel against with buddhism
i think it's like most
religions you know there's some aspect of just rebelling against people telling
you what to do or or the
feeling that you know this system of beliefs is telling you how to live or what
to do with your
life i think that's part of it is just kind of breaking apart dogmatic
structures and sort of
saying hey actually we can make this our own and figure out how to do it
ourselves because we're the
ones that are interested in it so we have to sort of take ownership of that and
so there's a bit of
like i guess generational pushback you know and saying actually we don't want
to meditate like the hippies
did you know we don't want lotus flowers and incense you know we want like our
computer screens and
meditation apps you know we want to do it the way it makes sense to us what is
that an effective way to
do it like meditation apps is that real is that legit are there like some
recommended meditation apps
there's better than traditional forms of meditation or an alternative i should
say to traditional forms of
meditation i think there are um there's some good ones i think they're good to
start i mean as soon as
you start really getting into it though then it's useful to i think still meat
space has the upper hand
over the app space interesting yeah but i'd recommend buddhify that was one
that emily and i um contributed to
and it's a it's a modern mindfulness on the go app so it sort of teaches you
how to meditate in different
contexts like if you're at the gym or if you're you know on the tube um you
wrote one for working on
the computer yeah i've wrote a couple for working on the computer so it's
really just about trying to
bridge like what we're doing already in our lives with uh meditation practice
and these ancient
traditions that have come down what do you what is the app for working on the
computer what does that
until um buddify is the app and then the couple of meditations that i wrote it's
just simple
things like bringing your attention to different kind of anchor points for
example you know we all
usually have some sort of touch screen mobile device and so you know you can
use your use it to bring
your attention back as you swipe it you know back and forth with your finger so
it's just something you
know very simple to return to so that you know consciousness and the mind can
start to just kind
of settle so that you know you're more aware and by being more aware it makes a
lot of difference
when you say more aware you mean um because a lot of people are kind of
scattered they're they're all
over the place and thinking about because we're on facebook one minute and then
we're on you know
all kinds of different apps you name one is facebook the devil no i don't
sometimes yeah
there's no meditation in facebook though correct not yet not yet not yet what
what i think facebook
into it it's a fascination um with social interaction right that's what it is
it's this this thing where
you know i read this um piece was talking about the
