think so or ketty
does it look right mm or chetti or chetti whatever it is purple spring onions
and lemons the point is
this is not bland food this is really like gourmet food that you can cook
yourself and it's healthy and
it's low in calories and it's really excellent and the quality of their
ingredients i was pretty
impressed by i was looking at the stuff like the cuts of meat the fish
everything's super fresh and
delicious and i love the idea like a lot of us are super busy you don't have
time to go to a you know
store and buy a recipe book and then write down all the shit that you need to
buy and measure it out
and weigh it out blue apron takes care of all the steps the shopping the
measuring the weighing the
recipe everything and you can be ensured of eating healthy meals um and healthy
meals that are fun to

them together and uh like
i said it's quite yummy so give it a shot and i guarantee you you'll enjoy it
blueapron.com slash rogan
that's for two free meals blueapron.com slash rogan we're also brought to you
by on it.com that's o-n-n-i-t
on it is a human optimization website and what we do is we sell you things that
we think can improve
your mind improve your body anything that we can find that we use that helps
physical fitness helps
there's there's supplements that help endurance there's a there's a product
called a cordyceps
mushroom that shroom tech sport is based on it's one of my favorite supplements
and i actually get
really bummed out if i go to the gym and i realize that i haven't had it i didn't
put it in my bag
shroom tech is based on this mushroom that the chinese olympic team started
using they were winning
all these medals and the the idea behind the cordyceps mushroom is they found a
long time ago
these ancient cattle herders where they would go to high elevation they found
that these
cows would be noticeably more lively when they would be eating these certain
mushrooms and these
mushrooms are cordyceps mushrooms in 1993 the beijing summer games uh the the
chinese long distance
women's track team was running at a punishing full marathon every day in
preparation several world
records later and after extensive doping tests everything came up negative and
uh the coach coach ma that's a real name
revealed that it was cordyceps mushrooms cordyceps sinesis um a lot of this
stuff uh when it comes to
you know any any grand claims uh a lot of this stuff is uh like understandably
controversial
and for that reason if you go to on it all the supplements that we sell have uh
research uh pages
for uh all of them including all the links to peer-reviewed studies based on
all the different
individual ingredients whether it's for alpha brain whether it's for shroom
tech or any of the any of
supplements there's a the reason why people use this stuff and it's not just
anecdotal evidence not
just based on uh personal experiences but there's actual science behind all of
it so if you go read
the stuff and uh check it out you'll you'll understand what we're talking about
as far as fitness
equipment we're selling the very best strength and conditioning equipment we
can we're selling all
the stuff that has been shown to increase increase what they call functional
strength functional strength
meaning strength that you can use for uh athletic endeavors meaning it uses
your whole body as an
individual unit which is really where um strength and conditioning is in the 21st
century he used to
be a long time ago the people used to do a lot of um isolation exercises like
curls and a lot of
doing tricep extensions all these different things that would strengthen a
particular muscle group and
you would do like back on wednesday and then you would do buys and tries on thursday
people don't
really do that stuff anymore now it's using your entire body as one unit and in
doing so what you do is
you teach your body how to move heavy weights how to do large amounts of work
and how to do it in
coordination so whether it's using sandbags that we sell whether it's using
steel maces which is it
looks like a weapon but it's really just this large steel ball at the end of
this long metal pipe and
moving it around is incredibly awkward and doing so you you use all these
strange muscles and it's uh it's
really excellent as far as like a direct correlation between the work that you
put in the gym and physical
performance in any athletic endeavor or just having a stronger healthier body
go to on it dot com oh
and n i t use the code word rogan and save 10 off any end all supplements that's
it that is the end of
the commercials aren't you happy i know you are strap yourself in ladies and
gentlemen v sauce from
twitter aka michael stevens is here we're going to learn some shit let's get
cracking
hey man come on up to the microphone fella thanks for doing this i really
appreciate it it's awesome
to be here thanks for having me on awesome to have you you got a killer youtube
page man and um you know
i love when i can find out about a youtube page like if you go to some of your
videos and you know
you're like well what is this video and you go holy this video's got 726 000
hits other ones have millions
what this one what if the earth stops spinning four million two hundred and
eighty five thousand two
hundred and seventy nine hits which is just a testament to how fascinating
these videos are and how
interesting and i think it's really cool that something that's educational and
something that
people can learn from and it's it's you're you're getting incredibly popular
because of this isn't
that amazing it's crazy four four million people wanted to learn about how the
earth spun and what
would happen if it didn't it's not going to stop spinning but the physics
behind uh what if the earth
stops spinning are fascinating and it makes you think about the world and sort
of appreciate the
things you don't even think about way more yeah the physics of the spinning
earth it's very bizarre when
you stop to think that the idea all planets are constantly spinning in this
weird way around a
giant sun and there's outer planets and they're all spinning and like that but
that's something
that you don't think about on a day-to-day basis day-to-day basis you just you
know just walk around
and go to the mall and driving your car you don't think about right you're on a
thousand miles an
hour in a circle at all times right and then on top of that the sun is revolving
around the center of
the galaxy even faster and our galaxy is going around the center of a super
cluster even faster
in fact i think in the years oh man either in the year 1600 or 600 i don't
remember earth was a light
year away from where it is now relative to the center of the galaxy holy it's
traveled a light
year in that that amount of time it's either it's either i think it's 1400
years that's how long it
takes the earth to travel a light year just by spinning around with the sun
where are we going around
yeah in hundreds and hundreds of millions of years we'll be back we'll be back
in the same spot
relative to the center of the galaxy but the galaxy will have moved right there
is no absolute reference
frame so the universe is expanding yeah yeah that's the other thing is there's
maybe more than one
universe yeah that could explain some of the the you know things we still don't
know yet there could be
parallel universes where every other version of things happen and that would
explain things like
why we happen to see the universe that we see now why this one um yeah yeah it's
when you know it's it's
almost kind of stoner talk because it's one of those things like man try to
wrap your head around that
man but it is a fascinating concept that that we are in this essentially
infinite universe i mean they've
tried to put dimensions on the universe itself like there's a there's an actual
beginning and end to
the universe itself but the infinity comes from the concept that inside every
black hole is potentially
another universe that every galaxy has a supermassive black hole it's one half
of one percent of the mass
of the entire galaxy and that inside that black hole it's very possible that
there's a whole nother universe
with hundreds of billions of galaxies each with black holes inside of them each
with new universes
inside of them and that this fractal thing goes on and on and on and on and
there's literally no end
yeah and i don't know about black holes but the universe itself we give it a
dimension we give
it like a circumference or a diameter but that's just the observable universe
we don't really know what's
beyond what we can see and it could go on infinitely it could also wrap back on
itself and be sort of
infinite in one way in one sense but actually you know if you go far enough out
you curve around like
an ant on a globe that ant can just keep walking forward forever he'll
eventually return to where
he came from but he's never going to like reach a wall and edge right we think
that's how our universe
works is it wrapping back around itself well probably not we've been able to
look really far away and we
don't see any evidence of things converging as if it's curving yeah like we're
we're 3d creatures
on this 4d shape that wraps back around on itself yeah the idea of the the
universe having a finite
amount of distance it's confusing as hell because then what's outside of the
universe well nothing
nothing so if it's finite then like where what's it sitting in right exactly
that's it's hard to wrap
your head around and it does sound like stoner talk but it's also cosmology
talk i mean it's like real
science well real science is stoner talk if you really get it yeah if you ask
enough questions it
gets down to dude you're blowing my mind it's like no that really is just the
way this pen stays on the
table yeah is incredible yeah the earth is spinning and the mass of the earth
is pulling everything down
towards it and the more mass it has the heavier it'll be and the more
