Joe Rogan Experience #526 - Isaac Haxton

why hello ladies and gentlemen this episode of the podcast is brought to you by
audible audible

audio books
radio broadcast lectures comedy specials basically they have no peer there is
no one like audible
audible rules it is my favorite place to download audio books they have over a
hundred and fifty
thousand titles so essentially you could probably do it until the day you die
if you really thought
about it like how many books do you read in your life do you really do you
think you read 150 000
books probably not but you could have 150 000 books read to you and it's much
less effort and you can
help people you read when you're not really reading you know what i mean it's
like you can
read while doing other shit and that's the cool thing about audio books if you're
commuting if
you're on a plane i have stopped in my driveway and listened to a book for like
an extra 15 20 minutes
um why i don't make the best decisions in this life but i enjoy it i really
enjoy audible too
if you go to audible.com forward slash joe you can get a free audio book and
you can get a month a free
month of audible service it is really an excellent excellent resource when it
comes to audio books um if i
could recommend one to you hmm what's a good one to recommend jamie uh bert kreischer's
life of the
the party is pretty good what a great suggestion read by bert and uh the audio
books by the way are
crushing the the reading books because much like bert his fans do not read shit

other titles at audible a fantastic resource for people who enjoy audio books
that's audible.com
ford slash joe for your free audio book and 30 free days of audible service
like how i did that audible
service we're also brought to you by ting ting is one of my favorite it is um
not just one of my
favorite podcast sponsors but it's also um the official podcast phone the the
phone that we use
for the podcast for booking guests and stuff is a ting phone why because it's
first of all
if you're economically inclined if you're thinking about saving money there's
no better place than tank
98 of people i'll say that again 98 of people would save money with ting why
did i have to say it again
i say it again i sound like a douche like when people say that like the
beginning of comedy clubs
they do this thing where they go all right everybody you ready for the show and
then people clap they go
that's not good enough i need oh come on you i hate it i hate it it's gross it's
so foul it should be
abandoned and and should be outlawed but there i said it anyway a lot of people
how about that would
save money with ting including you 21 bucks is the average monthly bill with
ting what is ting first of
all ting is they use the sprint backbone so it is just like having a spoon a
phone on sprint a major network
and instead of doing it anyone else's way when you rent time on a backbone you
can kind of do it your
own way and their own way is the best way to look at it is like it's very
ethical it's very it's it's a
very good deal what they do is they provide you with excellent service but they
cut out all the
bullshit no early termination fees no contracts uh you pay for what you use
which i believe is the future
of cell phone service now the way it is with most people if you are with a
major network or a major
carrier rather um you pay for x amount of minutes per month and if you go under
that you don't get any
money back and if you go over that they charge you you get charged uh you get
penalized
with ting you pay for what you use if you use less you pay less if you use more
you pay more
and ting on their second year anniversary for no reason other than the fact
that they could give
people a better deal slash their prices you can google it you could read the
articles i'll
i'll spare you the details but i just love the way they do business and i've
heard zero complaints
from any of my friends that use ting i have zero complaints about ting
personally i think they're
excellent and if you go to rogan.ting.com you can save 25 off of one of their
outstanding android
devices they even sell iphone 5s they have the iphone 5 that you can get an iphone
4 okay say if
you're frugal you get an iphone 4 for 95 bucks folks and if you pay 95 bucks it's
yours that's the
other thing i like i do not like when you buy a phone and say if let's you know
we don't need to name
a provider but say the phone costs 299 it doesn't really cost 299 it probably
costs 600 bucks but it
says 299 and you pay 299 initially but then every month you're paying a little
bit of that phone off
so that if you try to cancel and try to leave that's where the termination fees
come from that's where
your cancellation fees it's very tricky it's you know it's like you're mortgaging
a phone
fuck all that nonsense you can get a samsung galaxy s4 for 425 dollars how
about that you can get the
ht1 m8 which is an outstanding phone 600 bucks and it's yours the uh samsung
galaxy s5 the newest and
greatest 597 bucks but when you pay that 597 bucks that's it it's yours now you
could do whatever the
the fuck you want with it you it's yours okay you don't have to pay any more
you don't have to pay
any less rogan.ting.com save yourself 25 bucks it's an awesome service we're
also brought to you by on
it this is the last commercial o-n-n-i-t on it is a human optimization website
what we sell at on it
is essentially all things that i use i have found over the course of my life
and athletics and martial
arts i have found a bunch of things that have been shown through science
through um through people
that are strength and conditioning experts that recommend it what are you doing
over there jamie
you just jumped up panicked thought some shit was on fire um through science
through strength and
conditioning experts things that have been shown to improve physical condition
things that have been
shown to improve cognitive function which is a very controversial aspect it
means like saying
something's going to improve cognitive function meaning if you're one of the dumber
people listening
that means it makes your brain work better uh that sounds like it's going to
make your dick bigger
right this is where it's wrong have you ever had a day where you're like i feel
like shit today i'm
stupid my brain's not working i can't remember what i wear what i'm supposed to
do there's days that you
just don't feel right and then there's days where you feel fantastic i believe
and it's not just me
it's been proven through science and studies that there's a bunch of different
factors involved in
cognitive function here's a big one sleep sleep's a huge one i mean it's mega
like eight hours of sleep
a night will will change the way your body functions if you can get eight hours
sleep a night your body will
have the ability to recover that it just is not going to get if you're doing
four and three and five and
four and three and it's just like you're breaking your body down so sleep
number one nutrition huge
gigantic absolutely give your brain the ability to recover give your body to
the ability to recover
and it's going to function better give it the nutrients it deserves and it's
going to work better and
some of those nutrients directly aid cognitive function and we have with alpha
brain taken the
ones that we have shown or that have been shown through clinical trials through
anecdotal evidence
that have been backed up by clinical trials years and years thousands of years
for some of them of
use of human use and they have shown that there are some certain elements some
certain elements of
nutrition that you can take that actually improve your memory that actually
improve the the way the way
your brain works and if you're skeptical you should be if you go to on it.com
click on the alpha brain
link and then click on the rep the research page it'll show you all the
different tests with sources
with references that have been done on each of the individual ingredients and
then it'll also show you the
alpha brain alpha blame that's what we need alpha brain clinical obviously i
haven't taken any today
the alpha brain clinical trial research results we have done one test so far a
double blind placebo
controlled test showed positive results we're also doing a much larger one now
the first one was called
a pilot test you do it with 20 people i think three or four dropped out so it
wound up being 16 people
but excellent results um especially when it comes to memory memory is a big one
it's uh it's one of
the things like when you're when you're reaching for information when you're
reaching when you're trying to
formulate sentences that's where i feel that alpha brain really benefits me it
benefits it makes it easier
for me to formulate sentences it makes me easier for me to know what the i'm
talking about when i'm saying things
uh if you're skeptical you should be um that's one of the reasons why we have
the research page it's
also one of the reasons why on it has a 100 money back guarantee on the first

take it eat them all say this stuff's bullshit you don't even have to return
the bottle you get your
money back we're not trying to rip you off we're just trying to sell you the

you you are a big time poker player travel all over the world uh and uh there's
a lot of people
on my message board that are big poker fans and uh very excited to have you on
the podcast one of
the things they they asked me to differentiate because i bring this up all the
time um that a lot
of poker players are gamblers and a lot of poker players are kind of degenerate
gamblers but poker is
not really a gambling thing it's more of a game of intelligence and a game of
information and a game
of strategy is that true yeah well it's gambling in the sense that on any given
day you win or lose
money if you're playing for high stakes you want to lose a bunch of money but
it's not gambling in the
sense that it's outside of your control it's not like going to the roulette
wheel and saying i'm in
a red sort of mood let's bet on red and see what happens so it's gambling in
the sense that there's
money at stake it's not gambling in the sense that you are submitting yourself
to chance and just seeing
