You are listening to the Joe Rogan Experience Review podcast. We find little nuggets, treasures, valuable pieces of gold in the Joe Rogan Experience podcast and pass them on to you perhaps expand a little bit We are not associated with Joe Rogan in any way think of us as the talking dead to Joe's walking dead You're listening to the Joe Rogan experience review. What a bizarre thing we've created now with your host Adam Thorne Might need to be the worst One go enjoy the show. Oh, hey folks and welcome back to the Joe Rogan experience review This week we have all the legend that is Gary Clark, Jr. Come on son

There we go. And then Jonathan hate hate Heated tit I hate I hate I hate I think that's how you say yes join this week with Pete as always what's happening dog oh I'm you know just hanging around yeah enjoying the world of Joe Rogan. Oh Joe, he's our guy. Yeah, well it's interesting, but when we get started, you know, when we get ready to do one of these parts, we usually talk for like a good 30 minutes of the world of Rogan.

It doesn't always work out for like the review and breakdown, but you know, it's just like, there's so much news out there. Like you can watch one UFC and you've got half an hour of things to talk about with With Rogan alone. Yeah, so let's dive into Jonathan He did it. What'd you think of this guy smart guy? Great books great books

He's written some haven't read them. So man, I like his Like what I've heard about him from this. Mm-hmm. Yeah, I wanted the softening... No, the coddling of the American mind. That was a big one. That was really when he came on before. Rogan knew this one. Now he has the anxious generation, which, you know, as the audience knows, like I'm going through therapy school to become a therapist, mental health. And yeah, it's a fucking anxious generation, but the coddling of the American mind is an interesting one.

And we spoke about it briefly before this. It's like, why do people think that it's a good move to just coddle everybody and ourselves. Do you mean like make everything easier and basically? Yeah. Well, basically you're protecting your kids against things that are hard. And then when they get in the real world and it is hard, they get to complain about it. And we treat them like victims instead of,

Hey, maybe suck it up. It's like, imagine if a kid came to you like a baby and was like, walking is hard. I keep falling over. Well, then I know it's not your fault. It's gravity. Well, if you grow up on your hands, don't have to walk. If you grew up on your hands and knees, you're going to be at everyone's ass level. You've got to stand up. That is the dude.

Is that your quote? I like it. I like it. Crawling is easier, but you're just sniffing farts all day. Yeah. And it doesn't mean you have to be out there like Goggins, you know, bless him. Just fucking trying to run marathons and being an extreme winner. I mean, those things, hey, good for you if you can do it.

But it doesn't mean that, but you got to keep up with, with what's difficult. You got to do hard things. Rogan talks about it all the time. You have to try. You have to push yourself. You know, the hardest thing you ever do today will be the hardest thing you do. If it's parallel parking or running a marathon

or crunching numbers because you're an accountant. Yeah, public speaking, something. You know, do something difficult. And the real issue is so many of us can get away with not pushing ourselves at all to any level of like discomfort for months, if not years at a time. And if you do that,

you are doing yourself a disservice for sure. Well, we value people by their use. And what use are you if you have no advice that's relevant to a hard situation? Yeah. So we got to do stuff that's hard. It's very true. I mean, you know, Jonathan's talking about anxiety skyrocketing over the last decade,

right? So, but there they act out. It's like clear to see. Whereas girls are more internalized. So this is why the female rating on the scale that he showed, it's like worse for girls when it comes to social media and other things. Like boys are more likely to just kind of, you know, be destructive externally and women are, girls will be more internal. So it's harder to see it happening, right?

Keep track of and therefore help and kind of, you know, mitigate and you know, I wonder a lot, Jonathan gets into it and he's just like, the solution here is we've got to minimize kids on social media, have schools not having phones, these sorts of things. Now, I don't know if I'm against schools having phones for kids.

Like, I think that might be reasonable. Why do they need phones? We didn't have I don't think they should not have. They shouldn't have them. What kind of emergencies can they not just call the school for and have the kid pulled out exactly right? Is that really an example of like non kind of progressive technology events by taking that away. It's like, hey, there's an avenue for this.

You can call the school, and they can get a hold of the child, and the child can blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. It's like everything else should be in school. It's a more enclosed environment. I think there's a place for that. Right? Sounds reasonable. Yeah.

It's easy for us to say because we're not in school, dude. I mean, if we were, we'd probably be pretty pissed off if people took that stuff away. However, if there is good data saying that social media in general or texting each other or like imagine how quickly a freaking meme or a um you know a scandal could go around a school if you could all text each other like so fast we didn't have that yeah it was just like rumors that would spread some would hear it it would change it's like it's probably pretty brutal now.

And there's, there's just negative consequences for these things. In the same way he's saying, you know, it should be like parental guidance. You know, they should approve whether kids have social media accounts or maybe they can't until they're like a certain age. social media accounts or maybe they can't until they're like a certain age. The problem with that is, technology and progressive technology can't be stopped. AI is not gonna be stopped.

It's all gonna go. So, is there this element that we treat our kids like Amish people where they can't have technology until they're a certain age. It just doesn't make sense to me. Like they should have access to this stuff. Well, I mean, the Amish, I mean, you could argue about the success, with the success of the Amish.

They can put together a chair. We all need chairs. That's a good point. You can make some butter. I heard he's, I heard him saying that kids are spending on average nine hours a day on their phones. That's a lot. What the heck? That's a lot, dude. That's a full-time job. Of screen time. Teenagers are spending nine hours on their phones.

Well, that doesn't mean they're learning anything That means they're just participating in the online environment Sounds unhealthy. Yeah, I mean back in the day. I mean we were in school high school in the 90s, right? So What were kids that were doing nine hours of screen time doing then, playing video games, right? Yep. So it's a bit different with phones because you can be out and about and doing other things and still checking on your phone all the time. So you kind of break that up,

but you're definitely losing something, right? You are. Like people that play video games all day, all the time, like mostly that's a bit of an addiction, that's a problem. And no doubt these things are addictive. I mean that's the key here, it's addictive and it doesn't really make people feel that good about themselves. Some people, you know, that's usually the people that everyone's watching, the Instagrammers that like, you know, look like they're crushing it, but even a lot of them are not that happy

They're working too hard to impress everybody with their like fake happy lives. I Don't know I don't think for us Yeah, but do you really think that the answer is to ban it? Well, okay, so they just banned social media in Florida for people under 13. Right, dos Santos. So, I mean, we'll see how that goes. Right, this episode is brought to you by DraftKings Casino.

Because you don't want to make a whole new generation of people that are like used to being really depressed. That's bad. Also we don't want to be able to say, oh you're depressed, let's give you no responsibilities then. Let's make everything easier for you. It's not gonna make compression easier.

Right. Yeah. That's coddling. That's true. What do you think about TikTok and gathering all this information and how it should be sold to possibly an American company, at least for the US market of TikTok?

Like you've got to wonder what they're doing you know, the, the U S market of, of TikTok. Like you've got to wonder what, what they're doing with all this information over there. Not only are they making tons of money in China and the companies that own TikTok, but like their government has access to all of this, all of this data, right? And it's not just data, it's like control. They get to feed us, our young generation,

whatever they want to. Yeah. Um, yeah, it's, it's bad for us. I like that we need this TikTok. The nationwide ban on TikTok. It wouldn't hurt us if it happened. So. But do you use it? Do you watch TikTok? I don't. Yeah, but then again, that's easy for us to say, but don't watch it. It's easy for me to say.

Yeah, if you don't use it, but so many people are on it, dude. You know, I mean, you don't want people taking away things you like. Handcrafted like beers. Oh, you mean like a fine lager? There we go. Yeah. Or a small batch of whiskey. It's like, again, it's freedom, right?

We support freedom and we think that people should have the freedom to do what they want. So if people want TikTok, however, you know, is it worth gathering the data and saying, okay, so, you know, we know you want it, we want to give it to you, but we're going to set it up a little more like how the Chinese do where they teach the kids their mostly educational shit instead of just dancing. Right. It's math, it's engineering videos, it's patriotic videos. If we had that instead of, it seems like mostly who, how I come in contact with TikTok is hearing about it

through Instagram, right? About, about, um, what, what has been termed, um, social Marxism, the LGBTQ movement, plus the trans ideology, which whatever way you fall on that, I'm not here to rule on that, but it's not helpful for teenagers. They need to learn how to drive. They need to learn how to do their taxes. They need to learn how to fucking do math. They need to learn how to write papers.

They don't need to learn how to put their green eyebrows on or dye their beard green. Mm. Yeah. Or how to get drugs if they're, a girl wants to become a guy. It's, we've talked about this a ton. But ticked, I'm a privacy guy.

TikTok should be banned because they steal our data and now they have it. Yeah. And we don't know what they're doing with it. That's my concern. It's like, and the secondary impact is like, are these kids actually feeling good about themselves after watching TikTok and Instagram all day? And if the answer is no, I don't want that.

Yeah. The answer is no. All right, it's not. It's just resoundingly that. Yeah. The answer is no. All right, it's... It's just resoundingly no. Yeah, it seems pretty clear. That much we can agree on, for sure. All right, so over to like Google's freaking AI, what are they doing there?

They've got like black Nazi art, whoops, well done. How did they make this mistake? How did they make like the woken AI? You hear about this? Like makeup. So I guess yeah, you'd write in like You know show me an image of the founding fathers and it's like Native Americans and black people Well, that'd be nice if it was that, but that's not like historically what it was. And then if you put in, well, it just could be sure. I mean, why not?

But it just wasn't. But also it's like rewriting history in the most absurd way. If you're just going to be like, okay, show me Nazis and draw a picture of Nazis and then it brings up there's like an Asian guy there and it's like well unlikely that would have been a zoo in a fucking SS uniform uh-huh yeah they did they they obviously didn't like run this with a sample group or maybe they did in the sample group didn't think to ask these questions. But it's like, where are you getting this information? I mean, if it looks for, see,

so what we're trying to figure out is like, what AI is doing. They obviously didn't program that to be like, make sure you make black Nazis. Like that's not what they did. But what AI is doing is trying to give us what it thinks that we want. Like even though it has all the data in the world. So at no point did it research the history of the world

and find black Nazis and just go, well, there's a few, so we're just gonna put them out on this AI art. It said it combined what it thinks that we're all wanting at the moment, which is this very like progressive woke ideology on top of history. I think the danger there is a sliding scale for truth. Truth is not negotiable. scale for truth. Truth is not negotiable. What is reality is not negotiable as a human, right? So they're negating the important, they are lessening the importance of truth. Truth's important and regardless of its importance, it's real, It's true. This is not mirroring that sentiment.

Yeah, I mean, it's just giving like an odd false reality. And, you know, doing that through historical events. And therefore, you would imagine that even anything today that didn't represent that ideology would change. So it's just changing things when we are in real time trying to get information, which is problematic because we're getting a skewed view. Like it somehow is being trained in a very unusual way. And obviously they've kind of pulled back from this

and look, this technology is going so fast. There's gonna be trials and errors. There's gonna be issues. They're gonna be adjusting things, but it's important to get on it early and say, hey, what the fuck is this? Like this is wacky. Like where are we going with this?

Like this, this is wacky. Like, where are we going with this? Well, no more good. Truth's important, everybody. Yeah. Well, reality is, I think, cause, cause otherwise, what are we doing? What are we doing here? Um, they played the Trump clip towards the end of the pod and it's, uh, Trump talking about the, you know, the automotive industry

and then making references to blood baths. It's going to be a blood bath after this election, this and that, um, Rogan Rogan was quick to defend it. And I think he felt like the Trump was taken out of context for what he was saying. And Jonathan kind of pushed back and they didn't really come to an agreement. But I have to say that I'm probably more on the side of Jonathan for it, just because of the way the comments came out. Uh, they kind of like said the thing about the automotive thing and then reference the election

and then reference the bloodbath if it didn't turn out right. And you got to be careful with that because there's so much tension over this coming election and there was over the previous one. And it's, it's, that's slippery wording, right? Yeah, we don't have a great choice in our leaders. And I wish that the options that we have are different. And I wish the guys, one of the guys actually says what he wants to say, and one of them says what they want him to say and Trump. a strange dog, reading a book, or just being there for a loved one. We all wish we had more time, but the real question is time for what? Imagine if time was

That is not that's not how to bring a country together when you talk about bloodbaths well, yeah, I don't think it's I don't think it's the best way that he can grab the undecided

voters too. It's like, I get that both sides want to pan it to their, like their diehards, but the diehards aren't going anywhere. In a way, if you're the closer you get to an election, you should just try and pick up all the undecided today you can. And for Trump, it's definitely don't use the word bloodbath for things. Try not to. I would say we, he's not, he's not a, he's not a wordsmith.

Obviously. Yeah, he did. Well, you know, he's got the words. He has all the best words. He knows all the words. Amazing words. But how he uses them sometimes I'm like, ah, damn it. Like anytime I find myself just like finding some points that he says good, he can derail

it real fast. Right? And he's doing it consciously. It's not like when Biden derails it because he just like forgot where he was. That's different. I'm like, Oh, bless this guy. He's fucking doesn't even know what day it is. Yeah. He's messed himself.

Yes. And had his meth cocktail today, which by the way, let's talk of the, you know, the state of the union address. I mean, whatever they gave him for that, get me that pharmacist. Like for all the big speeches that I have in my life, I want to know whatever supplements they gave him for that day because he was, he was on and we've, we've seen when he's not on to be fair. We all have, we all know even even those on the left.

They know they know what he's like when he's not on. So to get him that switched on for how long is the state of the union hour? Two hours, maybe it's long as our man. That is a state. Let's just do away with the state of the Union do you think it was like some sort of patch that was like slow release it can't just be like an injection of something I've a timer a time release Ritalin 40 you think so that's what does it for me dude for him I think it's like a 240. Maybe. I don't even know.

How do they make sure his heart doesn't go? He's old. Geez, he's got the best care, I guess. Well, he's been doing crack for a long time. No, that's his son. Allegedly. I think that he's been partaking in the devil's dandruff as well for his whole life. Oh, you think so?

Man, yes. I've looked at a few of his speeches back in the day and I can a pretty. He was revved up. I'm pretty good at deciding when someone's on the. Oh, you got like crackdar. Is that what they would call it? I'm from Albuquerque. I got I got crackdar.

Oh, you got methed are for sure then. Methed are? What are the other? All the does. All right. Well, I'm not an expert. God bless it. I mean, look, we're going to be talking a lot about the election coming up and how it affects everyone.

I mean, it's, it's like, where are we now? March, end of March. I mean, it's going to be most of the talk for the rest of this year. And I'm kind of not looking forward to it. Honestly, it's exhausting Let's just review like smooth jazz or something else We just change it to a smooth jazz Review show I think people could be into it

Yeah, the Joe Rogan smooth jazz review show somehow has nothing to do with Rogan anymore. We're just checking out jazz, playing it and breaking nothing like all the copyright laws by just playing jazz. Some fine elbow. Love it. Love it. Oh, some good bass, some good trumpet. All right. Let's jump over to talking about music. Let's jump over to Gary Clark Jr. Gary Clark. I had tickets to see him in Bozeman last year, but I ended up moving down to Tennessee early

and, uh, I had to give my tickets away and I heard it was a great fucking concert. What a legend. Are you familiar with much of his stuff? Not much. Oh, he's so good, Gary. I woke up in New York City lying on the floor Oh, he's a cool motherfucker. I'll tell you that much. Cool, cool, cool. And then, you know, this is also why we don't have a YouTube channel folks, because that would have kicked us off. I guess he could probably still sue us.

Um, but he doesn't seem to type. Nah, he's too cool. It's too cool. I mean, he was trying to, he to trying to sue people in the podcast world anyway lame nerds We got pennies man. Yeah, we don't deal with nerds. All right, and also yeah, here you go We'll give you a white claw That's what we got. Sorry about that. Sorry. I drank some

But yeah, it's a half a can. It's warm. He's so good though. So good. So talented, like just brilliant. I mean it's the type of musician, like that's the type of shit, you know? And these are the musicians that Rogan brings on, like he had Black Keys last week. Like they're just cool. Down to earth, like real motherfuckers. You know what I mean? Oh, yeah Yeah, that's a droid. You're me to rogan is he

He doesn't bring on twats and he does if he does he brings them on once yeah, that's true like dan Yeah Yeah, he does it. He learns quick. He learns. For sure. I didn't know Gary lived in Austin. That's pretty dope. And that's pretty sweet that he gets to kind of hang out in the comedy world and over there with Rogan and the rest of it. He lives a little bit out there, you know, just like Rogan didn't want to live in the city Needs us needs a spot a little bit outside. That's a smart move. I think You know for any owner giraffe out there if you want to exactly got a couple They can do that like you have to have giraffe head fighting thing. They do

So so aggressive everyone thinks they're so cute man, dude. those things will fuck you up. Imagine getting hit by a giraffe neck. Oh, just necking him. I, I, I whammy with my back of my head. That's the way to do it. That's the way to do it. Celebration of Joe, the mothership is a year old. That's very exciting. Very exciting. And what like, God, what an impact in a year I mean I'm pretty sure that the comedy mothership has the second largest stand-up club Instagram page that exists and they did it in a year I think the maybe the Hollywood

improv has a larger one it's a like a million. But but the comedy motherships gaining fast and will overtake them in no time. It's the best comedy club ever. Obviously, it seems like I would be very biased because I do this show. But no, I promise you just from a pure like I love stand up and I did stand up in LA for years Side of me. It's like they nailed it that whole team that came together They put the best club together with the best shows. It's bangers every night

It was made with care and for thought Yeah, and it's good. It is what it is and form of thought. Yeah. And it's good. It is what it is and it's good. Right. And we're fixing to go there. Probably after June. Yeah.

It's got to be a pilgrimage, bro. It's got to be a pilgrimage. Let's go. Let's go. Let's get down there. I mean, it's got to be done every year. It's that good. If anything, just to like watch the Kill Tony show and how big that's got.

And what an epic, epic, like tribute to comedy in, in such a different way, such a different style, like amazing, dude, a comedy, a comedian, a comedian. Giant. Yeah. Owning and running a comedy store. Oh, excuse me. A show, what do you call that? A venue.

Yeah. Oh yeah. That's the way to do it. That's the way to do it. Well, they didn't write it. It was the first time they brought comedians together to make a club with basically an unlimited budget. And somebody that was-

Papa Rogan's got a lot of money. Exactly. And he's not, he's not so ego that he wasn't willing to listen to people. I mean, from what he said, the best designs came from Louis CK. He brought Louis down and Louis was like, do it like that. Do it like this. You know, Louis is a director. He's just direct in a way. And he just directed himself into the best club. I mean, amazing. And they nailed it.

If you haven't been there and you're a fan of Rogan, get your ass down there, go. There's no better thing that you could spend your money on. I promise you that. And if there is, email us. Oh, Austin is a magical place. Get mad at me. Austin itself is so good.

The fucking restaurants, the- The vibes. The place, the Airbnb I stayed at wasn't even expensive. It was really fun. We got those little scooters. We're scootering around. Sixth Street is just off the chain. The music that they have there.

It's like- Everywhere. Don't get me wrong, the mothership was an amazing part of it, but the location of it all was like everything else about it was great. It was like even before the club, before we had tickets to go in, we would do amazing things. And then afterwards, the night was just as fun. It's, it's something. It holds a very, it's a magical place place when I was selling wholesale jewelry. Oh

I Hey, you traveled to Austin and slinging those diamonds. I went proper diamonds mind Beautifully hand done jewelry here in Albuquerque. They were sitting around to Austin or what they were I was trying to get stores to buy our USA manufactured jewelry. OK, delicious stuff. And it is.

The humidity makes people's hair curly. The heat makes women's skirts shorter. It is a magical place in the world. It's pretty epic. Yeah. And I love my clothes six feet down on the weekends, too. So it's like a little Mardi Gras every time. And I love how they close six street down on the weekends too. So it's like a little Mardi Gras every time and the streets are packed. Like when we went there, we went there in April. It wasn't even like a special weekend at all.

And I was just like, is there an event this weekend? The people there were like, no, this is just how it is. It's how we roll down here. Like this is how fun it is. And his, his joint is like right in the middle of that, dude. Amazing. Unreal. Yeah, unreal.

So he's talking about the, you know, I guess they're just playing around, but the idea that they would open up a little mothership offshoot up in Montana. Oh. What a fun idea. Yeah. Oh, what a fun idea. Oh, yeah. Oh, what a fun idea. You did mention Gary Clark played up in Bozeman, right? He did. Yeah. Um, I didn't see Gary up there, but I saw a couple other bands up there. They have amazing venues up there. It's surprising.

Yeah, it really is. It's, it's, It's awesome spot. It's a happening place. I mean, Bozeman has a lot going on. That's why it's growing so fast. And it's part of the reason why I left, honestly. It was like almost growing too quick. It was like, you find the little haven that is like nobody knows about that's beautiful. And my God, is it filling up.

I just found out the median house price up there is $900,000. For a two-bedroom piece of shit. Probably, yeah. An old shed that in 2015 was worth a hundred grand, no doubt. Like real estate up there is through the roof. I don't really understand how most people can afford to live up there still. It's not like wages increase that much. Well maybe they own their spots, people that know people can get you a deal, that kind of stuff. Yeah, well if you owned a house there before the boom you're in good shape, but it's an incredible spot as well. It's a great place to go visit, especially in the

summer. Summers in Bozeman, I mean, they're short. They go by real fast. That's what was doing my head in. I couldn't do nine months of fucking winter every year anymore. It was just too tiring. But, um, yeah, the, the, the weather, the beauty, the people, like, it's a fun time. And I'll probably always have a place in my heart for that and visit there. But, um, yeah, it was like anything time to move on. You know, I really actually did consider Austin as well, but I just kind of wasn't ready for another big city as well.

I mean, I just came from L.A. It was like, I don't, you know, for, you know, Rogan types where you're like in the middle of media and where it's all happening. It makes sense. But I like it a bit calmer. Well, he can afford a palace on a lake. Of course, we would have to we'd have to settle for a palace in the city. Yeah.

Or in the suburbs. And not even a palace. A shack. Let's be honest. Yeah. Let's be honest. Bit of a shack. What did you think when they were talking about Shane Gillis only getting paid

$5,000 to do Saturday Night Live as the host? Could you believe that? I'd never even thought about what they get paid. Nor had I. But I guess for Shane, it was a retribution paycheck. You know, it was, I'm right there wrong. Oh yeah, it was a, it was was a sorry. It was a fuck you to SNL for sure I mean he didn't even do the monologue that he practiced which is legendary. I'm sure you got that from Chappelle How many people have they gone on have they had on and celebrated for years they have turned out to be? predators You know and Shane is not that he made a couple of really hilarious Asian jokes on a podcast Couple of you all the time whoops

Yeah, but like that's I listened to the controversial podcast about him and it was I mean Was it really Asians? I thought it was like gay jokes. I Didn't even listen to it. Oh, it was Asians. Okay. No, I don't remember what it was? I thought it was like gay jokes. I didn't even listen to it. Oh, it was agents. Okay. No, I don't remember what it was.

Well, what it was, it was innocuous. It was so nothing at all. We got to just relax everybody. Yeah, but SNL is a bit of that, right? It's a bit, it's not Hollywood, but it's New York TV and it's woke Hollywood, but it's New York TV and it's wokey ish and I mean, look, the funniest thing on that consistently is the, um, what's the news thing, the weekend update, you know, and the best part is when

they do the joke swapping where they write jokes for each other. And it really, if you look at what that is, it's just a clever way to say really racist shit, right? Right. But they get away with it because it's like, Oh, I didn't write this. So I'm just, I just have to read it all silly me. And it's like, yeah, you guys are doing your best to keep like these

hilarious bits of comedy alive. And they found a way to get away with it, which is smart, which is really what comedy should do always. It's like, hey, the joke has to be funny, funnier than it is offensive. Like you can't raise the offensive bar beyond funny. So you gotta be clever with it. But they're working within these boundaries,

you know, this box that they've created for themselves that that it is so limiting that it makes most of their sketches pretty shit dude. I have a hard time getting through even one of those nowadays. Yeah I barely watch it even the one with Shane it was like I love Shane so I had to what you know I had to tune in for it. But, you know, half the sketches were just like, okay. All right. I guess. I stopped. I've stopped.

I don't care for it. Yeah. But there we go. You get paid five grand. And then when Joe brought up the black keys from last week, he was like, yeah, if you're a band and you go on the late night, you don't get paid at all. You got to fly the whole team out there.

It's just like, yeah, really what they do on those shows is they make it like an opportunity for you to show off your band. So the black keys were like, yeah, we'd pay upwards of like 50 grand to get everybody there, you know, you got to take all the equipment, you got to set up, you know, you're doing that whole thing. I mean, I guess you probably get a private jet because you got so much equipment in your team that it makes sense to spend 30 grand on a flight. You can't get that much blow through customs.

That's a good point. And then, and then, you know, decent hotels for everybody, but it's like, okay, is that even worth it? I mean, maybe it is, it sounds cool, but I think once you've gone on there a couple of times, it's not what it used to be. You can get your music and message out in way better ways. Like, fuck it, go on Rogan. I'm sure the black keys going on Rogan did way more

for their career than showing up on Jimmy Fallon. So is that me? Yeah, Fallon. The Irish bastard. God bless him. He still cracks me up sometimes. That guy's pretty funny. He's a, he's a.

Bit of a hack, bit of a hack sometimes. They all are dude. All these fucking late night people. It's like, whatever Colbert did the Colbert report was like one of my favorite things of all time. And you know, if you disagree with that, go back and watch them. They were genius. And whatever he did since he went onto that late night stuff, it's like,

I don't even think John Stewart cares for it. I agree with you. Yeah. John Stewart is coming back around. I have a problem with someone who thinks they're right and won't entertain any other ideas. Won't budge. And I think John Stewart seems like he's trying to, those people over there are so insulated that all they can do is bounce their own ideas off of their own yes men, and they don't see a larger picture of the world.

And John Stewart seems like he's kinda, maybe he's kinda caught up with some regular people recently. He's more of maybe he's kind of caught up with some regular people recently. He's he's more of like the Bill Ma of the left. I can tolerate it. You know, I can like listen to it. I I'm like, OK, ish, you know, you roll your eyes. He's he's not he's he's not the worst.

He's not a Don Lemon, though, dude. I mean, well, he's, he's fucking funny. Sometimes, sometimes, honestly, sometimes the Mars, another one of those norm has a joke about it and if anybody's interested, they can just look, just type those two names in normal McDonald. What do you have to say about Bill Maher? And that's how I feel about Bill Maher. Oh, fair enough.

Fair enough. All right, let's end it with like, recently LSD has been tested and it's mostly masculine. Thank God. Yeah, what's going on there? Basically, only like a few people can make LSD. Well, LSD is hard to make. Masculines easy to extract. Right. Yeah. Well, but why did nobody write down the fucking ingredients?

I mean the the recipe for LSD. Say what you want about white Western culture, but they got their chemistry down. It takes lyso. What is it? Lysergic dimethyl trip to late? No, lysergic acid. Really?

Lysergic acid. It's tough. It's tough. It's not it's not you need to. It's not meth. You can't make it like that. No, it's complicated. So more complicated.

Mescaline, though you bubble down some. Pay only beans. You add your though, you bubble down some beans, you add your binder, you extract your binder. Okay. And then you have your mescaline. All right, well, there you go. I would say, come on chemists, figure it out. And then, you know, be careful about distribution. No drugs you guys. Because it's illegal. Just your drugs. Oh, no drugs, no then, you know, be careful about distribution.

Okay. No drugs. It's illegal. Just no drugs. No drugs. No, sorry. That's what I meant. I got confused at the end of the pod. Well, that's it for this week.

That's it for this week. Anyway, great couple of pods. Um, they did have a protect your parks, but as always, it's too funny and too chaotic to even review, but check that, it's too funny and too chaotic to even review. But check that out because it was a lot of fun. Four hours of chaos and wildness. I love it as always.

And yeah, Pete, thank you for joining me and for everyone listening. We appreciate you. We love you. Keep it going. The world of Rogan. We need it to keep the world sane. And have a great week. Bless y'all.

Goodbye.
