Joe Rogan Experience #339 - Jacob Ward

hey everybody we're doing a podcast again can you believe it can you believe we
even still alive
after that chain smith podcast that's podcast ever for everyone who thought it
was the best
podcast ever thank you for everyone who tweeted me and said it sucked i'm sorry
who are these
people that think that sucked that was fucking funny everybody has the right to
their own opinion
sir okay and uh my apologies to anybody who did we didn't mean to get that
fucked up that's just
what happens you drink with chain smith advice.com i think that was the second
time the second most
drunk i've ever seen you yeah it was pretty pretty hammered uh this episode of
the joke some guy sent
me a message like that he went to the comedy show and he was mad at me because
i uh i made a cancer
joke i'm like i don't have a cancer joke in my act man i don't if i said i don't
know where it came
from what i don't know he said the cancer joke was not cool i was like i don't
think i have one man
maybe it was a drunken joke i can't see where i would i'm pretty sure at the
end of that show
that i know when i'm trying new stuff out or when i'm venturing off into
strange territory i don't
think there was any of that this episode of the joe rogan experience podcast is
brought to you by
ting ting is uh first of all they are um uh support of this podcast because we
believe
in companies that are not trying to rip people off that are giving you a good
service at a reasonable
price and have reasonable rules i don't like contracts with cell phone
companies i think it's
gross i understand it when you buy a phone say if you buy a phone from verizon
and you get it for you
know x amount of dollars if you sign up for three-year service when you try to
cancel they hit you with a
big fee the reason why they hit you with that big fee is because you didn't
really pay for the whole
price of that cell phone they sort of factor it in over the course of three
years and then
when you want to cancel they want that money back okay i think that's silly it's
it's just like
it's not necessary okay and it's also not necessary to to have it set up where
you like can't have two
people in the same plan um ting has that they they have it set up so that you
can first of all no
contracts you can buy they have high level android phones the best uh android
phones available
including the samsung galaxy s3 soon to be s4 i think it's coming out really
soon and the uh samsung
galaxy note 2 really cool cell phones so you you don't have to deal with crappy
phones you're also
dealing with the sprint network so it's not like they have their own network
they they have a major
network it's excellent service i've got nothing but people saying good things
about it on twitter
ever since we started having them as a sponsor including people saying how much
they've been
saving now one of the things that i really love about ting is credits on unused
service i just think this
is such a great idea there's plans but if you use less than you thought you
would ting drops you down
to the level that you hit and you they credit you the difference on your next
bill you can't ask for
anything cooler than that it's good service it's a good company and it's all
reasonable and if you go
to rogan.ting.com you can save yourself 25 bucks either off service or off one
of their groovy
cell phones and by the way they have used ones also uh you know and they're
just refurbished ones and i've
haven't bought refurbished ones through ting but i bought refurbished phones
before and then and they're a lot
cheaper so if you're looking for a phone on the cheap you could even get you
know get like the
samsung galaxy s2 epic 4g touch you know and that's like a lot cheaper than you
know buying it new so
if you even need a cheaper phone you could you have the used marketplace also i
think yeah and the
reality is unless you're like some crazy power user you know if you're on a
budget you can get by with
a phone that was really cool a couple of years ago and you aren't even notice
it yeah barely makes
a difference it does pretty much the same shit and i love that samsung galaxy s3
and i love the screen
it's amazing once you go to that screen for looking at web pages or the note
which is even more more
insane uh you'll love it all right so go there rogan.ting.com save yourself
some cash we're also

the joe rogan experience train by day joe rogan podcast by night all day
powerful jacob ward but you prefer jake right i do yeah call me jake jacob is
very biblical dude i
gotta tell you i'm sold on all of your sponsors really i don't know if it's
them or you or what
i'm in i see a lot of pitches during my day you know i spend my professional
day like look at
people are pitching me all the time stuff's cool and you actually made the
sound of the of the
the name of the galaxy uh sound cool which is impossible that's the worst that's
the longest
name for a phone it's a great piece of technology with a terrible name yeah
galaxy x3 galaxy note
4 it's just too long i know they've got a lot of phones but man i was just
thinking that the other
day why don't they just call it like something different there's a lot of names
in this world
i'm here to tell you yeah there there's no need for that right why does
everything have to be note
this and three and four i don't know but the tech i mean the stuff itself is
amazing and
you're absolutely right that like a couple years old phone is a great deal like
those they change
so fast yeah especially the samsung phones yeah apple you have to wait a couple
years for a new
iphone because each one has to knock it out of the park you got to go all the
way with apple
yeah but i'm i don't have the confidence in them without steve jobs at the helm
i need a crazy
person completely obsessed with success totally this regular tim cook fella he
seems like a regular dude
yeah i i don't know enough about him he's supposedly a very orderly person
which you would need like at
the very least you got to run the hell out of that place i think when he gets
home he probably relaxes
and i don't need that i don't need that my ceo yeah yeah you need a guy writhing
around angry yeah
pissed off at coders because they got something wrong in google maps with tacoma
you know that's
right that's right that's right fucking tacoma washington's in the wrong place
or whatever it is
whatever it is it's steve jobs to go bananas for that's right how long have you
been the editor of
uh popular science so i had i had a crazy experience i uh was the second in
command of
popular science for uh five years i was like the doer and uh and then my boss
decided to leave and i got
promoted about seven months ago and suddenly like i'm i'm running a 140 year
old magazine i'll tell
you right now it's a big responsibility and i am i feel free you know i freak
out each morning for
five minutes i'm like i can't believe i'm about to go make these decisions and
then boom i go off and
do it it's a great thing it's been an honor um the the the the popular science
episode that i uh or uh
issue that i quote to people all the time is the one way back in uh the 1930s
love it yeah hemp the
new billion dollar crop oh yeah totally we were way out in advance that that's
what's cool about
popular science it's like we are we're at least five or ten years ahead of you
know we put our flag
into each issue if you look through history i can't take credit for that
personally but it's really
cool that it happens you know yeah that that was on the cover of popular oh it
was actually popular
mechanics yeah that's cool that's cool i hear i'll clear up a confusion for a
lot of people people
are like why why is there popular mechanics popular you know science all this
stuff and why aren't we the
same magazine we're actually competitors which is a weird thing but it's
because we date from
the era when everything had the word popular at the front of it yeah popular
portraiture or popular
you know whatever it was the name it was basically saying like hey normal
person come read this thing
you don't have to be an expert unfortunately i was incorrect um popular science
actually demonized
marijuana that's probably true we probably did way back in 1936 it was when the
government had uh
gotten their greedy little pause i mean let's let's be fair you know that's the
depths of the
depression everyone's freaking out you know that is not you and that is not the
popular science of
today and blaming popular science for that would be like blaming me for killing
indians and to be
truthful like there's worse stuff than that in th
