You're listening to the Joe Rogan Experience Review. What a bizarre thing we've created. Now with your host, Adam Thorne. This might either be the worst podcast or the best one of all time. Two, one, go. Enjoy the show. Yo, what's happening? Welcome to the Joe Rogan Experience Review

with Pete and Adam. Hello. There we go. I jumped the gun a little bit, didn't I? Oh, sorry, no. Jumped the gun here. You did great, you did great. This week, we have the Enhanced Games

and then the first Neuralink guy, Nolan Olba. Is that his name? Arba? Arba. Arba? Arba? It's German, right?

Sounds German. It's gotta be. God bless him. So let's jump into it. The enhanced games. Holy shit, dude. Like they're doing this. That's fucking wild.

I like it. Yeah. Yeah. I'm gonna get my hands on some steroids and uh, I don't know, be a ping pong champion. What can I, what can I do this late in the game? Anything? Curling. I'm getting old though. How are you good? Are you good at sleeping on ice, mop it up ice. Imagine how fast you could sweep some ice. Pretty fast. Yeah, dude. Get some EPO. Just wouldn't it be hilarious if you like roided up so much that you were just

like a massive You know close to 40 year old looking bodybuilder, but your job was still the sweeping job On curling you're not hocking the stones anymore. No, no, no, no, cuz you if you had steroids for that You know, yeah, you're going to break all the other, you're going to kill someone in the crowd by hooking that thing down there. What about bowling? Like freaking bowling on steroids. Do you think they could just launch that bowl and not even,

it doesn't even touch the ground. It just smashes them. You like pitch it in. That's kind of horrible Well, would that be illegal? There rules to like how far it can fly down the thing Probably some rules like maybe halfway that's a good I sometimes do launch it halfway and I have seen videos of people hitting the TVs like way above

Way you bowl and it's just like kick that guy out like that's that's terrorism on a local level for sure He gives nachos Get it. I I also do love that Bowling alleys always give you finger foods yet. You're touching all that gross shit. It's like pizza, nachos. It's just like, God, you should at least have like little toothpicks to get those tater tots. No. I'd bring my own toothpicks.

Yeah, you should. All right, so. How about curling is an Olympic sport, but they're taking wrestling away. It's bullshit Yeah Well, they I think they wanted to But I think it's still in there. It was just up for debate once Yeah It was up for debate and it's like dude don't take that one away people like watching man

But they probably did some dumb survey and people even forgot the wrestlings in there Or you know the women don't like it or something It's brutish Ladies those guys are super buff Yeah, it's a great sport. It's just I think it just looks I just think it looks very like It's just, I think it just looks, I just think it looks very like, you know, wrestling, pure wrestling looks very barbaric. There's an argument for like, it even looking more brutal than like UFC. Now even though they punch each other, you know, and they're clinching, but like wrestling

is just like this incredible like twisting, smashing, crushing type. Lifting them up, slamming them down. Yeah, just it's like even when I'm watching it, I just imagine my body breaking apart. Those guys are just none of them get out of that sport without severe injuries. Like there's no human alive that is like strong enough to not suffer massive injuries from some sort of like high level wrestling. Right? Yeah. I've got a good friend that is a former wrestler. He stopped when he was like eight 18,

but he still has like two broken arms, broken collarbone, dislocated shoulder, four ribs. Just break yourself doing that sport. Oh yeah. Yeah. 18 but he still has like two broken arms broken collarbone dislocated shoulder for ribs Just break yourself doing that sport. Oh, yeah. Yeah before 18, but that's why it's so Impressive to watch them at that level It's like yeah, you fall apart, but every single human you ever come in contact with you could just crush them immediately Totally smash them up toss them over your shoulder. Oh, dude, those fights must be so embarrassing for non-wrestlers that accidentally get in a fight with a wrestler. Well, the problem is they always go to the ground and not like UFC

or Jiu Jitsu go to the ground, they go to the ground and then like. You know, they're low and they get kicked in the face. It's just it translates, but you need to be. You need to stand your feet in a street fight. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, imagine like gravel driveway and you're like a high level Jets guy up against a wrestler like bad. He's just going to smash you into the ground,

scrape you everywhere. You're going to be trying to pull like a fucking triangle and he just picks you up and slams you in your head. Not good. That's why it's always better to make friends. Let's make friends with people. I say. Yeah.

So, okay. So the enhanced games, what do they got? They got steroids. They's make friends. Be friends with people I say. Yeah. So, okay. So the enhanced games, what do they got? They got steroids, they got peptides, they got price stem cells for recovery, other band shit. I don't know what that would be. What else is left? As many IVs as you want. You could do IVs. Is TRT a steroid? No, it's a therapy. Okay. You could do... It's hormones, right?

That's okay, you could do that. Okay. Get that in there. Yeah. HGH? Growth hormone? Is that a steroid? Or is that something else?

God bless it. Let it in. They're gonna let that one in. They're gonna let it in. And they're saying that the hands in hands games... I don't think you can really test for that. Oh yeah I'm sure you can. It's gotta be some marker that shows that you're on it. But they're saying it could give you as much as five percent performance advantage. It's huge when everybody's only winning by like point zero one. That's huge. Dude. That's huge

5% is massive You know the Joe does bring up that I go on. I go ahead No, you know, okay The benefits that I really liked them talking about We're like they're gonna put him up in the the fourth fourth seasons, but not going to have them shagging some, uh, Iranian curlers in the, uh, in the Olympic village anymore. They're going to have them shagging on a proper bed. Yeah. Well, I mean, I kind of, yeah,

I kind of feel like for the athletes, that's like a missed perk. To be honest, like a lot of them might go in there to be like, hey, who's the Iranian volleyball team? I'd like to meet them or whoever, whoever you're into. I'm just saying I do Iranians. You know, they're handsome. They're good looking. They're handsome people. They're lovely people. They really are. Straight black hair, curly black hair, thick arm hair. Yeah, they're beautiful people.

And they should be respected. Really? You think, oh, they're not plucking? Of course they're plucking. That's the only bit of him you see. They're plucking. They're the only bit of him you see. They're plucking. They're going to take care of it. OK, the Russian, the Russian, what do you call it?

Synchronized swimming team. That's what I'm talking about. Oh, that's who you'd go for. Bald as dolphins. OK, maybe two or three of them. Yeah, yeah. What would be if you could be an Olympian and also an enhanced Olympian? Like if you could choose one sport to be the very best that what would it be? What's your sport? I

Think I'd like to be in a team sport because I like having my buds around me Basketball dream team really That's pretty dope. That's dope. I think I would foot. Yeah. Yeah. Because that is cool. Cause then you're like the big guy too. I think that the hundred meter sprint is like to me the best freaking Olympic sport period. It's like like who is the fastest guy? There's just something about that. It's like I guess Powerful like is cool, too

You know with the who's watching the dead lifting? I mean people some people but like who can fuck I don't want that big of a stomach who can leg it sorry a hundred meters and just crush like Hussain Bolt style legendary? Who's the guy before that? Here's my question. Is he too old now that he's retired from the Olympics to just get completely juiced up and come back and get a new world record and win a million dollars You think he could do it? I think he could oh, yeah, and he could also do He's also juice and come on, but he could also do The relay I mean he doesn't have to just be a lone soldier out there

He could get a part of the Jamaican bobsled tater or something, you know He can do something else. That's a good point. Yeah. There's got to be when you like slow down. Can he like long jump? Very long jump. Yeah. Just get some ones. I just man, he's fast, but it's like those guys aren't the fastest. They just pretty fast and they have a good jump.

He's got some long legs, dude. He's got some long ass legs, dude. He's got a great personality. I'm saying don't you underestimate Hussein Bolt in front of me again. Okay, guy is a national treasure to Jamaica. I'll watch what I say from now on. I don't mean to be defensive. I don't mean. All right. So you get 100 grand for gold. That's kind of pushed the Olympics into giving the people that do the Olympics 50 grand for gold. That's good. All right. They should make some money because we all know the Olympics is like pretty it's a scam, dude. It's just like a

big it's money making. It's terrible. Yeah. They don't pay the... It like depletes the cities of resources. They spend billions. And like those fellows were saying, it all goes to waste afterwards. Why do you think cities want to have the Olympics? Do you think it like helps tourism or it just gets that city on TV. I mean, I don't know when it was famous enough.

Yeah, but when it was exactly, that's my point. It was like after it went to Rio, I wasn't like, oh, can't wait to go to Rio. Like it didn't make me want to go to Sochi when all those Russians were cheating, watch Icarus. I actually do want to watch that after those guys are talking about it oh they did so good um it's so good it did make me want to go to Nagano for the Winter Olympics all those years ago no fair enough are they gonna have a Winter Olympic games or winter enhanced

games cuz now that's what I want to see. Some 50 year old winning the snowboarding, spinning, the shooting, the like ski and then shoot the Oh, I call that the James Bond event. It just seems like James Bondy, doesn't it? It does. What if they drop them out of like, you know, a paraglider to,

uh, to skis and then they shoot a submachine gun in the trees. Yeah. And then people like also down the hill shooting at them and then they got to shoot them and then they jump off the cliff and they have a parachute and the parachutes like the British flag. And then you're like, is this Roger Moore? Love this. And there's like some, there's, there's definitely some, uh, some beluga caviar, a skinny blonde chick and all the Svetka you can drink. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It'd probably be in like some sort of little dope capsule that's like in the ocean that he lands near that he just gets in. There's like a bed and that's how the movie starts.

Exactly. Shag pad. I can't believe they got away with that in those movies and people loved it. People loved it. All right. So companies, yeah, dude, James Bond movies are still brilliant. Go back, watch them. Not all of them age well, but give them a chance.

They develop. And each Bond grows on you as you watch them, too. If they make enough, you're like, I'm into this. I like it. Roger Moore had some classics, dude. He was potentially the cheesiest one. And but also he does grow on you. The the most serious one is Timothy Dalton, in my opinion.

Right. That's his name. Yeah. Yeah. Is that his name? Yeah. He was before Pierce Brosnan. He's like eagle eyeyed and he's like honey He didn't make enough of them. He should have made a couple more. Yeah. Yeah people didn't like him for some reason I thought he was good

Yeah, I thought he was good. All right, so companies are on board with this There's a lot of money involved They're not hosting in one particular city, which I think is interesting. So they're going to keep costs down and not have as much waste. I don't know though, like, like really when I think about it, it's like, just, you know, as someone that knows nothing about it, I'm like, is this going to make me want to watch nothing about it, I'm like, is this gonna make me wanna watch it? Like, I guess it will because like,

this kind of is like the superhuman games in a way, right? It's gonna make you be like- I like the Olympics, I just, you just can't catch them all. You can't catch all the events. And it's only every four years, so you miss it out. You miss out. No, but this is the enhanced game.

A lot of replays talking about the enhanced games. They're not going to have as many. I know that. Yeah, agreed. It's every year. Which is pretty cool. But would it make you want to watch it? And like, where are we watching it?

Are we YouTube in it? We're not watching it live. I'll go to your house. Watch it as a group. Get a group together. We'll have a few pints. Be like, that's not how I would have done it. And then we'll just go from there.

That's a good point. That's a good point. I don't know. It's interesting. I'm pumped for it. I think that it's cool that Rogan had him on. And I'd like to see a good point. I don't know. It's interesting. I'm pumped for it. I think that it's cool that Rogan had him on and I'd like to see where it goes. I like the idea. It's like Craig Jones with the new Jiu-Jitsu tournament.

I like the idea of athletes getting paid more. You know, create real incentives there. You know, million dollar prize money for breaking a world record and you can use drugs. I mean, there's gonna be some exciting results from that. All they need to do is get a couple of world records, I think, and then this shit is gonna be go time. And that's gonna change the whole Olympics because they're gonna realize oh fuck people are watching this They're into that We need a we need to up our game because right now they have the monopoly

and Who you know, it's the olympics dude, it's boring. Let's get some new cool stuff They really didn't talk much about the winter events No, they said nothing is are they gonna have are much about the winter events. No, they said nothing. Is that they're gonna have, are they gonna have winter events? I don't think so. I really hope they do.

Like what if they get old Sean, what's his name? Ginger? Yeah, but I don't know if you can, I mean, I imagine like steroids for anyone makes you perform better, you know, for a while, but like, you know, it seems like more skill events in the winter Olympics. If you think about it, it's not like stress. They don't have like, they don't have like powerlifting on ice or anything. They definitely have the need for strength in like those downhill moguls and those slaloms

where they go as fast as a human can go on their own power. They go like 180 miles an hour. Yeah, but they're only running at the very beginning. Well, those downhill events like those slalom on skis, they really need powerful legs. Oh, that's true. Yeah, that's a good point. Or like the back in, I forget when they were, maybe the Sochi, but there was a 40 year old that won gold

in the biathlon, the sled ski, the cross country skiing events. Oh, right. And that was unheard of for a 40 year old to to metal Oh, yeah, if that guy can get on some juice, that's maybe not him now, but some epo on there. Yeah Yes, or just give Meth to the guys that do like the big jumps

And then just make the jump so big no one else would do it and he's like just messed up So he's like I'll do it. I'm going and they just like I'll do that for math I don't you've never even done this event and he's like I can do this watch and They just go Kevin don't do it. Yeah, they just fire him off the side of a mountain and they're like well he did go 19,000 feet but then just smashed into the ground so it didn't count but was the world's longest jump so find his head he can't find his neck to put the metal around so he exploded sorry I think there's great potential for this. I'm really interested about seeing it and and I am Curious to see who else gets on board, you know, it's like as much as I want to watch it. I I

Kind of wouldn't be surprised to if like people weren't tuning in depending on how they deliver it to us But I got a feeling they got a good plan. This sounds like they got some good backing. Guys are thinkers. Smart guys, money guys. Money guys. They're also, they've been approached by every major corporate or broadcasting company. So they're gonna give it their best shot.

And they've got a hundred year plan for it a century down the road. I wish them the best of luck and maybe you'll see me on those slips one day. Oh, you're getting juiced up. I'm getting juiced again. We're getting Pete juiced up. All right. Let's jump over to the Neuralink guy. Neuralink guy. Holy shit. So yeah, I think Rogan's right. Like this is this is a guy in the future that when we're doing putting like movies together of like the first guy, that's him. He's the first real solid cyborg. Kind of. We probably had some before, but the first, the first integrated human technology. Like, cause we have cochlear implants now with like little kids that can't hear they're like mechanically deaf. So we put the implant in their brain and they can

hear. So those are kind of cyborgs. Right. But he's got, he can manipulate stuff with his brain. Yeah. This is blowing my mind. Dude, it's so cool. And you know, think of this poor guy, hasn't been able to move. Like you got to deal with all the depression

of like what that would be like for your life. And he was an athlete, like loved doing active shit. Now can't do anything really. And had to come to terms with that, which he did. God bless him. It sounds like he has a really good outlook on, on what he's doing with his future and it seems so positive, doesn't it? Yeah.

And like accepted his position. And it's so weird when you hear that because you know, even even as an able-bodied person, you know, I'll get down or you know friends that do able-ish and and then you hear these stories of these people in these positions that are like, you know, would be like a nightmare, you would think to most people. Like, you know, that would be a dream you would have that would be a nightmare. And they're kind of-

It's my literal nightmare. Yeah, they're like in better spirits, generally, than you are. It's like, it's so, it just kind of puts a perspective in of like, where are your priorities like what am I like? Thinking that things are like more important than they are like putting too much pressure on myself like what? What like how does someone get to that point and then you take him and you're like hey? I've given you a cursor a

Fucking cursor that we all take for granted. I move the mouse around. I'm doing it right now. Just wiggles around. And that is like, yeah, it's like mind blowing to them. He's played video games all night. That's what I would do as well. Fuck. Yeah. Why not? Golden Eye, dude. That's what I would do as well. Fuck yeah. Why not? GoldenEye? Dude. That's my level of video gaming. I'm not the greatest at video games. I like Doody.

I like what they were saying about if they can create an interface so that he can play the first person shooters and then he's instantly good. It's just like. He's the best there is. Yeah, he's basically instantly good like it's just like yeah he's basically like the neo on day one they're like he's starting to believe sounds like that's like what's happening it sounds like he it's like that yeah it's gonna quickly become better and better and he's gonna be more successful

at it dude imagine that a bunch of those guys getting into it. And then all of a sudden the gamers and the streamers are like, no, I need this implants. My dumb hands are too slow. It's waste too much time. The first step. We're just going to be like the meat ones. And they're like going to be the cyborg ones. And we're going to eventually just they're going to do all the gaming.

Did you see the post that Rogan had today on Instagram? This was fucking wild. Catch it. All right. All right. Yeah. Because you got a job. I respect it. All right. Now, thank you. Let me pull it up.

Do you OK? So it shows a quantum computer and it says Google's new quantum computer is 241 million times faster than the one it released in 2019. How many times? Five years. What does that mean? I can't even say that number again. And then he goes in his comment area, which I love, shout out to all those homies out

there blissfully unaware that we're about three years away from living in a terrifying science fiction movie. Yeah, damn. I hope he bought silver at him, like literal silver or gold. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Eggs can't steal that. Well then his post before that was nature outpaced.

AI simulates 500 million years of evolution. And then Rogan writes, we're about to find out how we turn into those gray aliens. It's like, shit is going real fast. And what's interesting is like regular life is the same. People are just like thinking about the election tonight, you know, also the debates on in like eight minutes. You know, watch that shit. Oh, I can't be bothered, but I'll just watch the recap.

Dude, it's got gotta be worth watching. You don't think that's worth? This is- Should we Zoom watch that together? Dude, I think- Would that bother your wife if we just kept it rolling all night? Nah, I mean-

She's pretty cool. Yeah, she's fine. We may have to cut this short just for that reason, but we'd like to watch the end of the world happen together as a team. Um, but you know, it's like, he's definitely focused on this and he knows everyone, dude, you know, he, you know, he can text Zach, he can text fucking Elon. They like talking to him. It's not a business exchange. Like Rogan doesn't want anything from him. You know what I mean? And he'd be like, what's going on with this? And they

probably think his questions are funny and interesting. And he's just like, yeah, like where the fuck things are changing. Like all anyone's worried about is like, I can't buy a house. Groceries are too much. I get it, that's regular things that we've been worried about for a long time. And then also robots are becoming sentient. Whoops. Humans are becoming robots. There we go.

Do you think that once they start, like do you imagine if like, so I have a five month old, my daughter, she's already five months. That's crazy. If she gets to 18 and then all the kids getting into like Ivy league colleges have implants and she's like begging me for one. And you know, of course, just like when we were pissed off with our parents, we were like, Oh dad, you don't understand. I need this broken. So important to me.

And I'm just like, I don't want to make you a cyborg. And she's like, everyone's doing it. Dad, don't be so old. You're so old. And then come on. It's just a, they just drill your skull and popping up little thing. It's fine. Dad, Becky has one. in a little thing. It's fine dad Becky has one

Yeah, right, and she's so fun and I'm like It's it's like hard to kind of adjust to that idea You know, it seems like it's so far off, but it might not be folks. It's not that far off. Is it no Mm-hmm Just read every work every science fiction work by Philip K. Dick, Isaac Asimov, and they predicted all this stuff. It's crazy. They predicted it like in the 30s and 40s. to the engineers make all the things they didn't the engineers just smart guys they didn't they're not creative though they can just do the math they didn't know what to make and it took like some fucking creative artsy guy to be like what about a flying car and then a bunch of nerds went oh we could probably do

that and then it was like we didn't better not give these people cars that could fly. No, we actually didn't do that. Well, the vision of the future was a lot like, like we don't really guess the future very well, but you are right. A lot of the innovations, I think, come from that type of thing. I think Star Trek is probably like a big part of it too. Gene Roddenberry, he was a gene, he was a, he was an innovator. Smart guy, smart guy. Who knew it was just going to be Fittonall and more war.

Yeah, but like how long do you think before, you know, the, you know, these quadriplegics can start walking again? Like there may literally be a point where they like dry, like they get injured, they go to the hospital and then Neuralink is like, no worries. We're just going to restart these bits and you could be moving again. And then there's none of them.

Yeah. It's to me, it's like, well, these things could have already happened, but the big pharma and our medical establishment is worried about making money for the treatments, not investing in the cures. It's like, you know, they don't, they didn't cure AIDS. They just can treat it as well as they can for life Yeah, you know cancer is a lot of cancers are treatable and curable. We don't know the cure for cancer in of itself though No They make too much money in the interim and the treatment of they do they do the fucking with us, dude

Yeah, it's a mess but it's exciting to hear that, you know, Elon's out there making the stuff and, you know, giving this guy and others like him a chance to like, we kind of, we will just enjoy some shit and have some faith, you know, be excited. Anyway, let's call it for this week. The AI does. Yeah, I'm calling it.

I'm calling it. I gotta watch the debates. I love you guys. Thanks for listening Pete. As always, you're the best and later. And later folks.
