Joe Rogan Experience #359 - Alex Grey

hey you freaks what's going on party people we're back uh i've been uh i've
been busy
squatching so i haven't had time to be podcasting i'm out there searching for
bigfoot what are you
doing brian you're not you're not answering the bigfoot question just sitting
here doing podcasts
i've already made up my mind come out there for the people son i'm out there
steady squatching
this episode of the joe rogan experience podcast is brought to you by squarespace
squarespace is
one of our newest and favorite sponsors i don't really have any favorites but i
really enjoy this
one i really like it i like everything about it what it is is a website that
allows you to very
easily create your own website there's templates that you can use there's
various images that you
can upload and you can make a really cool looking website including setting up
a store you can set
up an online store super easy it's it's ridiculous how easy it is and it's cool
and it's fun you can
also try it out you can go there and set up a website and not even have to uh
use your credit card you
just uh try it out hold on let me just pull this up i gotta yeah it's cool
because you just have all
these designs like you could put together a website in almost like within five
minutes well you have yeah
you know i couldn't it would take me a lot longer than it would take you but
but uh brian can whip
through one of those fucking things and it's um it's i love the fact that there's
someone figured
that out because it used to be like so daunting the idea of creating a website
was terrifying like what
am i gonna do but this is this makes it super easy it makes it's really
intuitive and it works on
everything it works on a cell phone it works in your ipad it works on android
tablet it works on every
phone it works on every browser it's just they they've got it down and it didn't
used to be down
it used to be like really difficult to get a website but now almost anybody can
do their own and uh if
you go to squarespace.com forward slash joe you can try it out no credit card
necessary but if you
decide to purchase it use the offer code excuse me use the offer code joe5 just

three you'll confuse
the fuck out of people they'll think man someone's just really stuck on those
old march podcasts
we're also brought to you by ting um if you uh have heard of ting before if you've
heard of us uh
talk about on a podcast one of the things that makes me so happy is when i run
into people and they
tell me that something that we're advertising on the podcast is exactly as
promised and uh that's one
thing i keep hearing about ting it's it's a it's a really good cell phone
service it uses a sprint
backbone but it's set up to be a lot cheaper than most cell phone plans and it's
set up in a really
cool ethical way including if you if you don't use the minutes that you signed
up for they knock you
down to the next level and credit you at your next bill they they literally
give you credit for unused
service i mean nobody does that they they if you don't use usually if you don't
use your service
they're like tough that's what you you offered that's what you bought that was
your contract
your contract was 100 minutes a month or whatever the hell it is dude i love t
they're great it's
great and and when we were in vancouver for 24 hours i used both of my uh cell
phones one from
at&t and one from uh ting and i just got the bill to find out how much my overages
were for you know
using international air uh at&t because i was on a shitty data plan and i i was
being stupid uh
it was two hundred and like seventy dollars or something like that that's crazy
yeah for one hour
for one day that's so ridiculous my ting which i used a lot actually because uh
it had better service
there um 17 dollars wow that's insane that's insane first of all the ting can
make it that cheap
but it's also insane that at&t could send you a bill that high yeah so it's so
weird that you go
over to canada and all of a sudden the the same rules don't apply it's like
three hours away right
it takes us three it takes us five to get to new york it's like it doesn't make
any sense it's so
stupid i'm so tired of countries and it's really fucking stupid of just at&t
even doing that because
they know there's people like me that wouldn't because they watch what they
want you to do is
they want you to call them get on an international calling plan or data plan
choose which one you
want and then it would probably be cheaper uh but what they're doing is like
hey you didn't call us
so we're just gonna fuck you you know i mean we're like ting's just like hey
man strong words
whatever strong words and you know they don't be 18 t just misunderstood they
also don't charge you
for teetering either which is another thing it's called tethering tethering
that's one of those that you don't really say that much but you see written
down a lot yeah it's
like something else like roll like some people say rolfing when it's like no oh
rolfing yeah the the
massage thing no no no when you're like rolling on the floor laughing oh ro
yeah rolling the floor
laughing my ass off yeah some people say that it's like what i've never heard
that but people just spell
it out yeah those people but but yeah like like they don't charge you for uh tethering
so like that
which is you shouldn't have to pay for anyways what you have to have a a button
that a software
button that it turns on and off that that's why you have to pay for it yeah you're
still using the
same amount of data like what do you care if i use it off my phone or my laptop
right i'm oh i i have
the phone i bought this is my phone so it's not wearing out the phone you know
it's not doing there's no
reason but you know with tang they give it to you for free which is how it
should be yeah i also get free
voicemail and stuff you know they're it comes with free stuff it's an ethical
company and it's it's a
it's a fair company and they have great phones they have the the coolest
android phones including the
samsung galaxy note 2 which is that big giant thing that's the one that you can
mean you really read
websites on it take pictures with it why you watch movies on it and what
looking at your photos on it
is a completely different experience than a smaller phone you know the people
that try it it's it's a pain
in the ass for people to get used to but once they try it and they get used to
that giant screen you
don't ever want to go back to a little tiny baby screen this is what i want
right here oh they have
the galaxy s4 now i want it yeah it's amazing the uh the technology that's
available today but uh you
don't the point is you don't have to lose technology to use the ting service it's
uh it's cheap it's
awesome and uh if you go to rogan.ting.com you'll save 25 bucks off of uh
either one of your new
cell phones or or the service so go and check it out you freaks uh we're also
brought to you by on
on it.com um if you uh have never been to on it.com it's uh the best way to
describe it is it's a human
performance website and damn am i tired of doing commercials about this it's
impossible to think
of new things to say about on it if you've never heard of it before though uh
it's a company that we
we sell like kettlebells and battle ropes and vitamins and it's all like stuff
that is uh designed
to help human performance whether it's your endurance with shroom tech sport or
whether it's
you know physical strength with things like battle ropes or maces and i know maces
and clubs they look
like weapons but they're not weapons okay they're not they're just exercise
equipment and it's exercise
equipment that mimics the use of weapons because believe it or not like those
dudes who had to like
swing swords or you have to live in game of thrones time you have to be strong
as shit man to be able
to swing a big giant piece of metal and when you not advocating any sword use
but i'm saying when you
use something like like that like a steel mace or a steel club using these uh
weapon like uh pieces of
exercise equipment it actually makes you use your body as one whole unit and it
improves your athletic
performance in in other areas like if you if you have a sport that you do or if
it's a martial arts
thing the uh the strength and fitness that you can get from a good kettlebell
workout or a mace
workout it really does uh do uh you uh some great benefits so go and check it
out use the code
name rogan and save 10 off any and all supplements that's o-n-n-i-t alex gray
is here you dirty
freaks so strap in open up your third eye get your shit together and away we go
the joe rogan experience
jesus louisus what are we doing here we're sending emails the person i'll
explain who the person on the
podcast is today one of my favorite artists in the history of the universe how
about that
how about uh there's a a small handful of people that i would have liked to
meet more than you
and so uh having you on the podcast the first time was a true honor and a treat
and uh it's uh it's just
cool to be in contact with you i think you are uh you represent represent a
very positive and a very
unusual force in the world of art and in the world of consciousness as well you
know your your artwork is
so uh moving and so representative of the psychedelic state that it it actually
has like an effect on
people you know i think your artwork is uh probably like some of the the most
accurate psychedelic
artwork i've ever seen and i can't tell you how many people i've been with that
have seen your artwork
or seen one of your pieces for the first time and just went fuck you know like
that's that's like the
the the usual reaction when they see one of your crazier pieces like uh the one
that's like the one
that i always think of when i think of you is these three faces they look like
egyptian sort of pharaoh
type faces and they're all three one is facing forward and two on the sides and
it just seems like
a dmt trip it seems like you're tripping when you're watching it right yeah it's
an attempt to
point to the embeddedness that we are in time the flow of time and yet that
there is always a timeless
being that uh we also are the witness of that um being in time why is that so
terrifying because we
are in time and there's a countdown you know there's a you know where none of
us get out alive etc etc
yeah hey ray hey we love you yeah yeah he just passed um it's um it really is a
weird thing though to see it so clearly captured in artwork and it's one of the
weirdest things that
people point to when they point to uh either ancient religious art or you know
just various uh
things that where it's hard to find you uh evidence of psychedelic use in their
art like they didn't
it's it's hard to find moments where they can like this is one it's hard there's
there was none nothing like this
that came out of the old world and it's fascinating to me because if you know mckenna
was right with this
idea of the stoned ape theory and you know that mushrooms probably shaped human
culture
it's like clearly there were long periods of time probably where people weren't
getting that
yeah but there was a continual evolution of the um uh ability to express uh the
dimensions of the world
and of the imaginal worlds and you can see it from cave art which they now
believe uh that even the neanderthal
may have had uh early form of cave art so it wasn't just the cromax you know
and and the uh
uh uh uh but uh we may have had uh ancestors who were also artists yeah
it's the uh cave art is uh one of the weirder things about ancient man have you
seen the werner
herzog documentary about uh the ancient cave art i believe it was in france is
that where
