#283 - Joe Rogan | The Tim Dillon Show

- Joe Rogan, thank you for coming.
Your first podcast.
- My pleasure, Tim Dillon.
Thank you for having me.
- I like the way you do this.
We come to your studio.
- It's easy.
- We sit here, we do it.
Jamie has to work extra.
He's not happy about it.
- Jamie's happy. - But that's okay.
- He's all right. - That's all right.
Thank you for letting me do it.
We wanted to follow up Lex Friedman with somebody bigger.
And that person is you.
- Oh, thank you.
- And it's, I wanted to ask you,
'cause it's been, you know,
we were just talking about the Hamptons
and how crazy people go
when they have an insane amount of money.
- Yeah. - You've done very well in the last,
forever, but in the last year.
- Yeah. - Do you,
is it weird as a comic,
the types of people that you can be around now or?
- It's weird I'll get like messages from celebrities,
like random celebrities, usually about COVID advice.
- Right. - Like I get no bullshit.
I've helped like dozens of people.
- Yeah. - That I've never brought their names up,
like famous actors. - Right.
- Musicians to just contact me for COVID advice.
- Interesting.
- Yeah, it's, that's weird.
But it's also weird that they can just,
they know I know them and I'm famous too.
So we're all, like I've reached this weird spot
where I like, I feel comfortable meeting famous people.
Like, hi, fellow famous person.
- Right. - Whereas I was plagued
by a imposter syndrome, like for forever.
Like, and I would get real weird around actual celebrities.
Like, ah, I gotta run to the store.
- Right. - Hang out with the freaks.
You know? - But now you're cool with it.
- It's, it's more, I'm just more accustomed to it, I guess.
But the, the money thing and the celebrity thing
and all that stuff, it is odd.
And it's not good for a comedian.
Comedians are best off known, but not too famous.
- Right. - Because you get too famous
and then you get scrutiny from people
who aren't even really fans.
And they start picking up out your material
or looking for, you know, where you've aired
on the PC side. - Right, right.
- You know, and where you're not woke or where this.
- What do you think that is with comics
where if they get too much money
or if they're, they get too big,
a lot of them lose their mind.
A lot of them have real big problems.
- Well, famous people lose their mind.
- Right. - It's just a totally unnatural
state of existence. - Right.
- Where everywhere you go, people know you
and they're all happy to see you.
- Right.
- And then you also surround yourself
with a bunch of people that don't tell you the truth.
That's, that's pretty common.
- Right.
- And you gotta find a way to mitigate that
or you'll go insane.
- Right.
- You have to have something you do
that's like an absolute thing,
whether it's a workout thing or you play chess
or you fucking, you know, whatever it is,
you have to have something that you do
that's really difficult.
- Yeah.
- That doesn't give a fuck if you're famous.
- Right.
- You don't have, like it's, I look at it literally
like it's an exercise for maintaining sanity.
Like this, you have to brush your teeth,
you have to go a workout.
- Right.
- But it's not just your workout to be healthy,
it's also a workout because it's so hard to do.
- Right.
- That everything else seems easier.
- Right.
- Over the last year you've kind of become,
is this the most heat you've ever taken for a position?
- Oh, like COVID stuff?
- For about COVID, about the vaccine and stuff like that.
Is there, 'cause I know that the trans MMA thing was big,
but it didn't feel this big.
- Well, the trans MMA thing was big,
but it wasn't, it wasn't valid.
It was people that don't want any criticism whatsoever
about trans people.
And I was like, look, I don't have a problem with trans people.
- Right.
- From pretending that they're a biological woman
and fighting women.
- Right.
- Once you say you're trans,
and everybody says, okay, I'll fight her, fine.
I'm fine with that.
And in fact, MMA is one of the best places for that
because you know exactly who your opponent is.
- Right.
- Unlike like this swimmer.
Was it you, Penn?
Is that what it is?
- I don't know.
- Whatever the swimmer is,
it's like lapping all these biological women.
- Right.
- That's fucked.
- Right.
- Because they don't have a choice.
They have to compete against them.
- Yeah, and fighting is, you're more of an expert
in fighting than many things, right?
- Yeah, that's--
- You put your knowledge of fighting up there
and the knowledge of advantages that a biological male
has over a female.
- They're giant.
The advantages are giant.
And I don't think they go away.
- Right.
- In two years of, you know, hormone treatments and surgery.
- Right.
- It's too much of an advantage.
But if a woman is a biological woman
who wants to compete against a trans woman,
I have zero problem with that.
- Right.
I've had a situation like that recently.
- Yeah.
- I had no comment about it.
- Right.
- It's basically some regional level fighters
and one was trans and she was a former, like, Navy SEAL,
like, fucking super jacked.
- Right, yeah.
- Used to look like, you know, like a savage.
- Yeah.
- And then became a woman and fought MMA.
- Right.
- But apparently it was a good fight, too.
She almost lost in the first round, won in the second round.
I don't care.
- Right.
- My issue's not, it's not an anti-transposition.
- For sure.
- It's like, you can't pretend that that's fair,
that you don't tell someone
that you were a biological male for 30 fucking years.
- Right.
- So 30 fucking years of having testosterone
pulsing through your system
and strengthening your tendons and your muscles
and changing the way your mind works.
- Right.
- It's a different mind than a female mind.
- Absolutely.
- That's, so that was a lot.
- That was a big one.
- But it was more like,
I realized that people will distort your perceptions on things
or your positions on things.
This is different.
This is like, the government gets mad at me.
- Right.
- Like, this is crazy.
- CNN lies about me.
- I think I've ever seen a private individual take
outside of like, somebody who's leaking secrets
or something, right?
I mean, this is a pretty...
Now, obviously you're fine.
They're not, you know, they're not disappearing you, right?
But in terms of just criticism,
you know, Fauci and the, you know,
people have addressed you personally,
you know, like the media has kind of gone
after you personally.
Does it, does it affect you at all being in the midst
of this shit storm on the level you're in it,
which is pretty, you're pretty central?
- Well, it has to affect you because you're aware of it.
If you're aware of it, it has an effect on you.
The question is, do you change the way you operate?
Like do I decide that now I'm going to play it safe
and I'm going to just have podcasts with athletes
or comedians, just talk about silly things?
- Right.
- I could do that.
I could just decide to bail out of it.
Or I could just do exactly what I want to do.
- Right.
- And do exactly what got me here in the first place.
So that's what I do.
- Yeah.
- I'm aware of it, but I'm like, you know.
It's, I know what's going on too.
You know, what's going on, one of the reasons
why they go after me is that they realize
I have a lot of influence.
Another reason why is because they need a boogeyman.
Like the mainstream media needs a Trump.
They need a someone.
- Right, right.
- Because on their own, the problem is it's,
a lot of it is editorial opinion pieces by morons.
Like they're really dull minded folks.
- These are not the brightest.
- Well, the reason why they got there in the first place
is not because they're these courageous pioneering thinkers.
- Right.
- Who have like compassionate, intelligent views in the world.
No, they've followed narratives.
They read teleprompters and they say things that align
with whatever the ideology is of their network.
- Right.
- So that's what they do.
- Do you have people that disagree with you on this issue
that, and I'm sure you do, that you respect.
- Yeah.
- Well, Sam Harris, somebody like that.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- People that go, I feel, 'cause it's a big issue
and it's like a life or death thing.
It's an important issue.
People have very strong feelings about it.
Do you, like, obviously there's a lot of disingenuous
people in the media that are doing it for clicks,
but do you have people in your own life who this is kind of,
I don't wanna say a rift, but like,
have you fallen out with people over it?
- Yes.
- Or have you, oh yeah.
- Yeah, yeah, definitely.
- It's controversial.
But at this point, particularly when I see the way the government's behaving,
the suppression of monoclonal antibodies, the demonizing of generic treatments
that are available,
whether it's hydroxychloroquine or ivermectin, there's a concerted effort to
demonize treatments
that many, many, many doctors are using, and many countries are using.
There's fuckery going on, man.
- Sure.
- And it's brought to you by Pfizer.
- Right.
- And if you watch the root of this fuckery, it's real clear.
And so I'm pretty confident in what I'm saying.
- Right.
- I'm not saying that you shouldn't get vaccinated.
And I'm not saying that vaccines don't have a positive benefit for a lot of
people.
They most certainly do.
- Yeah.
- A lot of people who got COVID who were vaccinated, it was way better for them
than not being vaccinated.
That's a fact.
- Right.
- Another fact is there's treatments that are available that could stop it dead
in its tracks,
particularly monoclonal antibodies.
The Biden administration is doing their very fucking best to make it really
hard to get monoclonal antibodies.
And according to Peter McCullough, Dr. Peter McCullough, who's the most
published physician in history in his field,
the most published ever.
- Right.
- He's a rock solid physician without ever having any controversy in his career
up until COVID.
He says there's enough monoclonal antibodies for the entire country.
He's like, they're doing their best to try to prevent this, because if you get
that monoclonal antibodies,
it stops COVID dead in its tracks.
- So why wouldn't I--
- Early treatment with monoclonal antibodies knocks it dead.
It did it with you.
- Yeah.
- It did it with me.
- Right.
- So then why not go that route?
Now, I know Pfizer's making a lot of money.
- Because they want to vaccinate people.
- Right.
- They want universal vaccination.
- Yeah.
- And you could ascribe, you could say there's all sorts of like sinister
motives for that.
- Sure.
- You know, you could say they don't want a control group.
They want the entire country vaccinated.
So if health problems happen, there's no one to compare it to.
There's like, there's a lot of things that you could say.
You could say that this is just a gigantic money grab, that they have some sort
of a very
close relationship with the pharmaceutical companies that manufacture the
vaccines.
- Yeah.
- I don't know what the fuck it is, but I do know that there are treatments.
And in a sane world, you would be pursuing all these treatments.
They wouldn't just send you home and say they can't give you ivermectin.
They can't give you anything else.
They just come back when your pulse, your blood oxygen level drops below 92.
That's not normal.
- Right.
- That's not normal with any other disease.
- Right.
- When they have off-label treatments that are available that people are using,
and there are randomized controlled trials that show that they work.
I don't know if they fucking work or not.
I'm a moron.
All right.
- Right.
- I'm not a doctor.
I'm not an epidemiologist.
I'm not a virologist.
But the ones that I've talked to that are, that have treated thousands of
people,
they tell you time and time again that these are effective methods.
- Yeah.
- They point to Uttar Pradesh in India that's knocked it out,
using entirely this combination of ivermectin and a few other off-label drugs.
They point to all these different countries all around the
