Hey guys and welcome to another episode of the JRE review this week. We have Berk Khrysha the Machine. Come on Come on, Shemou! And Shane Gillis, comedy heavy. I like it. Let's get into it. 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 hosts, Adam Thorn. It might be the worst podcast with the best one. Two, one, go. Draw the show. Oh, the machine. Come and strong. When is that movie out? Do you know?

They keep postponing. Yeah, postponing. postponing. Because of the war. Maybe. Yeah. Is that what they're saying? I don't know.

Who knows? I don't know. But his special just came out though. Was it razzled basil? Oh, it's so good. Yeah, it that what they're saying? I don't know. Who knows? I don't know. But his special just came out though. Was it Razzled Dazzle? Oh, it's so good. Yeah, it's ridiculous. Get Razzled and Dazzled. And then he's got the fully loaded tour coming up.

Or is he already doing that? It's coming up. Coming up. Said there's eight other comedians plus him. Hmm. I think he's already doing that. Yeah, I think he's already doing it. The, I think he's already doing it. The razzle dazzle was good.

It was very fun. I haven't watched it yet. Dude, he just walks out and rips his shirt open and the buttons explode and it's just like, it's so perfect. I've done that on accident before. I think I had a pearly snap shirt on. What an absolute legend this guy is. Yeah, it just, it seems like, you know,

he talks a little bit about advice he's been given, you know, Bill Burr gave him some, you know, just about like really leaning into his craft. Joe did also when he was on a bike in, what was it, Thailand for his travel show and Joe was high as fuck and just said, Hey, lean into comedy. Like you're really good at this. And this show this show is like taking you away from what you're good at. And like now you see Bert go on other shows, he just went on a shoulder recently and he broke

down, man, because he's an emotional guy. And beautifully honest and open and just wonderful. And it was like, I don't deserve this. And he says it a lot, he said it with Joe. Don't deserve what? This, his life now. It's so good. Joe just said, Joe dismisses that.

That's not Joe's style at all. Yes, it's very fortunate, but you deserve it. This is what you've earned, right? And you deserve it because people want to watch you. Yeah, so he doesn't even sit with those thoughts. He's just not good at accepting that he's as famous and talented as he is, right? What?

It's kind of soon, you know, it's like recently happened. And it happened way later in life. So he had to live a lot longer than Joe did without this sort of same. Same. And you know, there's probably a time where you like do something long enough and it doesn't work out to where you think it's never going to. So you lean into that and that becomes part of your you know kind of like

ideology as well and and maybe there was a part of that but to be honest he was on a really good show. as well. And maybe there was a part of that. But to be honest, he was on a really good show. I think it was Nat Geo, the travel show. Yeah, I didn't see. I didn't see that one. It was really good. He was a great show. What was that one? I saw the one where he was in the cabin. He like brings his friends up to the cabin. That was hilarious. Thought it was great. Yeah, he did that one. I think over COVID. And that was a funny show. Yeah. Yeah, what do you got for notes here, buddy? I'll start off by, I thought it was funny. Joe mentions this several times how he just likes strong women. Yeah, but then he talked about like surprise. Like what does Leonardo talk about with 20-year-old women that he's dating that's a good point. That's so good. That is a good point like what do you do?

Do you think he's just dated so many younger women over the years that he just knows that it's like? He just puts cartoons on forum and is like wow, I didn't have kids so Just keep moky-pide Some Disney Channel. Oh that that would get so old. Yeah, I don't know. Maybe he's used to it. Damn you. You know, I'm sure he's not dealing with a lot of challenges.

He just doesn't want to talk to him. He's never been married, right? No. Leo? No, kids. No, he's just living it. Just running through the 20 year olds. Blasph.

How long can he keep that up? How long in two episodes? For like, you think 80 year old Leonardo could have a 20 year old? Absolutely. Okay. Well, I mean, good for him. Yeah, I'm a bit jealous, but you're also good for him and it sounds like a bit.

Maybe he has a lot of other just friends who are women that he can actually have a real conversation with who knows. Hmm. You know, maybe maybe he'll maybe he'll reach out to Bert Joe and let him know how he does it. It was sad to hear Joe's neighbor when he was talking about this place he lived and in 2008, he had this old neighbor that had basically lost everything in the stock market. And he's out there just kind of like raking this piece of land that he owns, right?

And it was all his retirement. He's like 70 something. And Joe wondered who he was, and just like, spend a better time with him just to hear. And he can't afford to build on it now because he lost all his money, but he still owns the land, so he's got to like, I guess take care of it to what salad. I don't know. Maybe you got to mow a bit.

I don't know man. I'm feeling like, I'm feeling like we're in another version of that right now, somewhat, because, you know, I don't know if people are out raking land, but people are struggling by houses, you know? Struggling to keep money in the bank, right? That's for show. Yeah.

It's like, that makes me think. And you know, often people have talked to me lately and they're like, oh, this just happens every 10 years or whatever, I'm like, okay, does it? Well then, how do you time a retirement? Because if you're putting all your money into these savings retirement plans and then every 10 years, you know, it like kind of tanks.

You know, when, when do you know? When do you know to be like, do you have to like retire earlier? Do you have to be like, all right, it looks good, I'm out. Can't say I've ever had a 401k. Well, I mean, we're not the people to ask for financial advice.

But what I will say is that I have one of those mutual fund accounts that you can take money out of when you want to. So I just use it as like an auto-saving account, right? It takes out like 300 bucks a month and I have dipped into that thing several times in the last 10 years and it's been awesome. It's like, I'm about to dip into it right now. I think there's probably only a couple thousand bucks in there I know, but I'm taking it out before the stock market crashes. That's what we've been here.

Within the next few days, I'm taking it out. It's actually a note on my phone right now. Yeah, that's what it kind of highlighted to me. Everybody's taking money out. I guess that's the way. I mean, I haven't put any money in, so I don't need to. Yeah, maybe the only time I was, I'm happy that I have a Wells Fargo account. I don't know. Well, it's fargo. Yeah, Raken is land. What a poor fucking guy. That sucks.

Yeah. Uh, Bert talked about viral videos, right? So Bert's been going viral a lot. His videos usually go viral when he's laughing his ass off, right, when he's being an absolute best phone. And he also talks about how it's kind of, a bummer that more of his videos aren't inspiring because Joe has so many of those. Yeah.

He has so many of those like rants that people have put music to that are just like, this is how to sort your life out and then birds are. But who cares a fuck? Like, well, Bert, Bert, he has a different message, a different thing to offer. He's, he struggles, I think he even mentioned it that he struggles with, you know, going back and looking at comments, right? And being on Twitter and not going back and rethinking what he said, and he was talking

about the Anthony Bourdain, given Anthony Bourdain shit when he was on a private jet taking photos and said something about it. Yeah, he felt jealous. And now he's on a private jet. And realize he's done the same thing. Now. Yeah. Well, don't compare yourself.

Yeah. If you can, I mean, I don't know. Joe doesn't take any pictures of himself on private jets and 100% guaranteed he's flying around on private jets. That's just a way to get frickin', what do they call that? There's a term for it that can... The whole of status. No, there's a term for it when people use,

like, it makes them feel better to talk shit about rich people in a way. Like, virtue signaling, right? It's like a virtue signal thing. Yeah, it makes sense. Oh, they talked about a really interesting thing they're doing in England right now where they're doing like drip DMT. Oh Yeah, yeah, we talked about that towards the end about how these people are going to the same places, right different people are having very similar experiences

and going to very similar places when they trip. Yeah. So instead of like smoking and blasting yourself in with like three hits, which, you know, from all accounts, I've heard is actually a struggle. You know, people back away, you know, it doesn't taste good. By then, you're like, by the third hit, you're already, you know, kind of really struggling

with the reality and, you know, if you have a tendency to get a little bit scared, you're gonna back away from this third hit. However, now it's intravenous, so they just load you up. they can hold you there for hours That's cool. Yeah, and people is like hey, I'm going to a different place each time I see entities I communicate with them. What would it take to really legitimize that whole thing? Does someone have to go and say hey hey, hey, guys, I have to take back something tangible.

Teach me something that I could not have known before I went here that is useful in my, like, dimension. You think there's a place for that or it's, it's, because otherwise, they're just stories. They're just like wild stories. I mean, as someone who has experienced dying, I do know that it is a very comforting feeling and I knew pretty much instantly,

or instantaneously, like while it was happening I knew that everything was gonna be okay, and I knew I was dying So when I drowned Hmm that that well that's the pituitary gland like that's What they say is the DMT gland right the pituitary gland is like when you die you get this hit of or rush of DMT I haven't really looked into it, but I've heard this many times. And I...

You don't remember anything though, right? I remember dying, absolutely. So what were you doing? You were like on a river surfing on a bridge, tied to a bridge. I was surfing on a wave on a river and the rope that I was using to stand up on the wave was tied to the shore, upstream, and then I let go. I fell backwards, let go of the rope, and then it was a wakeboarding rope, so it had to handle on it. And when I fell, the end of the rope got caught on my leg.

And there was no way I was getting out of it. So I knew instantly, like, I'm fucked. And I knew not to panic. So I just held my breath until I passed out. I was under water for like eight minutes. And the thing I remember most was there was this warm sense of everything's going to be okay. It was there was this warm sense of everything's going to be okay.

It was like this warm blanket. I do remember seeing bright light, but I think that's when I was coming to after CPR. So I don't know if that was like while I was drowning after I drowned or when I was coming to because my friends gave me CPR and I came, you know, I survived obviously So yeah, but I but I do remember like holding my breath and being like, okay, I guess this is how I die Damn it. That was a really dumb idea. Why did we tie this rope to the shore? That was dumb I mean this sounds dumb. It was dumb. Yeah, and So I was mad at myself and then I remember thinking, like, shoot.

All my friends are gonna have to pull me out of this river dead and that sucks for them. And I felt really bad. And then I had this overwhelming sense that everything is gonna be totally fine. There's nothing to worry about. You're okay. Everything's There's nothing to worry about. You're okay. Everything's fine. Nothing to worry about. I wonder if that is the message from the DMT realm. Maybe.

It's gotta be. Like, it made, it definitely made me think that there is an afterlife, which I had never really thought about prior to that other than when I was, you know, indoctrined into the Roman Catholic church when I was young and I was scared of God, which I no longer am. But, you know, it reminded me of that like, wow, maybe there is something after death.

Well, but doesn't think you die. Oh, yeah, that's his thing. And I think it bothers Joe because he's like, I can't tell if you really think this or not, but he's like, no, you don't die. You don't die. And maybe that's a kind of thing. I mean, Duncan Trussell is like that.

He's like, no, it exists and it just goes on. He just, in a different form, you know, you just move to a different place. I think there's just a different realm that you go to. You know, it's funny and Rogan pointed this out. It's like, nobody knows yet. We all think we know or a lot of people think they know. Nobody knows.

Yeah, we will always see people die, which is reasonable, and then they never have come back. Never. Not once. No one has come back. So that's a thing. Have you seen, I can't remember what it was on, but there was this show that I watched recently, maybe it was on the Discovery Channel, about these kids that their entire life, their someone else. Like their parents have these stories where like yeah, he was talking about being on this movie set back in, you know, the early 1900s and he had reincarnation, reincarnation. So kids that have always had these stories about who they were and like one of them was a movie star

The other one was like a pilot in the war right and he had always been obsessed with planes and never you know Exactly, you know all these different plane models and things that he would never have known sure That was a trippy show. I don't know what it's called, but it's crazy. One thing Joe says again and again is like what if we repeat our lives until we get it Perfect. Well, that's what Hindus and Buddhists think. Yeah. Yeah. Well then what would you say we are? How far away are we from getting it right? I'm like 10% 10% useful. I'd like useful. If I think of all my

thoughts for the day and I'm just like, what with the most perfect version of my life be? I can't imagine how far I am away. Maybe I'm being hard on myself but it's not good. It's not like a high, I'm not in like the passing the class grade. Oh, I mean, at all. No, absolutely not. We're definitely in the earlier rounds of enlightenment. Basic survival.

But dude, it's an interesting concept. And again, would you be terrified if you heard you had to live it forever until you got it right? And I would like to believe that that progression is like each life you do get better with it. I know maybe not, maybe you do, you can go like in the wrong direction as well. Well, so I'll put it this way. If I'm going to go on the Hinduism route, which is karma, and you keep doing life over again, you

reincarnate until you get it right, until you get to enlightenment, if that is the case, then I would say we're pretty damn high up on the karmic scale because of where we live, our economic status, our friendships. That's pretty high up on the karmic level. We haven't really experienced war personally. So I would say we're doing pretty good if we're gonna compare ourselves to that enlightenment stage.

I think we're close. I'm not saying I'm close, but if you look at other people's lives compared to ours, we must have done something right in our past life to get to where we are now if that is actually the case. Yeah, but what does that say for like trust fund kids in LA? I don't know. Like are they like, like, I can't, I struggle to believe that's like the highest, or close to the highest level of survival. And I guess I don't- So build evolution. I don't wanna put it economically,

but when you think of karma in a karmic sense of like, you do one bad thing and another, you know, then a bad thing happens to you. I don't think a lot of bad things are happening to us on a daily another, you know, then a bad thing happens to you. I don't think a lot of bad things are happening to us on a daily basis, you know. It's like, oh, we're worried about our bank accounts, okay? Other than that. But we want reincarnated as monkeys. And then we're working down the, yeah, exactly. Working down the feed chain. No, I like that. That makes sense. But I also think there's so much that we don't know that it's just absurd to even try to have a conversation about what happens after life.

It's not even worth it. It's just, yeah, it's just like try to be that are over there. I think if you want to delve into it, that's what the psychedelics are for. And maybe that's why a DMT trip, like that would be useful. Why did you think that Burt thought it was a good idea to try and promote the movie in Russia? That seems like a terrible idea. Like a Cousberts Bert.

Yeah. I don't know. Yeah, he didn't get arrested. He would didn't. He would get a rest lane it. He would get a rest. And if he got arrested, nobody's coming for him, right? It's not like the basketball player, like nobody's coming for Bert. Maybe Joe, Joe starts a campaign on the pod to get Bert released., but otherwise he's on his own. And also, Burt wants to meet Putin. I love that Joe was like absolutely not. That's a terrible idea.

Bad idea. I do not want to. Yeah, there's limits. I don't want to meet that guy. I think that sometimes Burt's confidence is like beautifully alarming. He would accidentally get himself in a lot of trouble. Maybe he needs some handlers.

Some steering him away. He says that's what Joe is. He's taking TRT and honestly, I feel like I need to do a testosterone test because I do cry a lot in stupid with stupid things. Like really, even when I'm not just hung over, and I'm brutally honest as well, but it just made me think. I was like, huh, maybe I've just had low testosterone. And Bert talks about how, what did he point it out like, do I cry a bunch

because of estrogen levels? Well, he's got some tits. Let's be fair. I mean, maybe, maybe. It's hard to say, right? But I do, I appreciated some of Joe's comments like talking about when you're super healthy, you get caught up in your own head and, you know, when human beings are just, it's like when you have nothing really to worry about,

you just distract yourself with nonsense all the time. And he talks about this over and over and over. It's like you're scrolling through stupid stuff or, you know, he brought up his dad's friend who, back in the 80s, you know, or maybe that was, yeah,'s friend who back in the 80s, you know, or maybe that was, yeah, it must have been in the 80s or late 70s when he was like 11 or 12 years old and his buddy's friend in Gainesville

was just so irate about gay marriage. And it's like, that's kind of what you see these days. It's like people get so upset over the stupidest shit, like purple hair or, you know, someone who, you know, uses a men's bathroom when they were born a woman. Like things like that just make people eye rate. And it's like we're just focusing on such nonsense and getting mad about so many things

that we really don't need to focus our energy on. Yeah, I mean to be fair, even if that's something that does frustrate you, freedom to you, right? You're allowed to be frustrated by it, but it cannot be the most destabilizing thing happening in your life, surely. Right. Maybe.

Or like people calling out Chris Rock for talking about Jada and, you know, whoever she was having sex with, one of her son's kids or whatever that, whoever it was. Son's kids friends. Son's kids friend. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Not the son's kids.

Yeah. Chris Rock crushed it on that. I've crushed it. So crushed it. Sorry to well, Smith. He crushed it. He's gonna find a will, but like, you know, yeah, fucked up. So you got to, you got to sit in the fire for a minute and, um, you know, you're going

to do fine, super famous, you're super talented. A lot of people like you, you got tons of Instagram followers. You're still going to make dope movies. You're going to, you're super talented. A lot of people like you, you've got tons of Instagram followers, you're still gonna make dope movies, you're gonna get through this. Yeah, he's a great actor. He's a worse thing ever. Yeah, he's awesome. You think he would come out and apologize by now?

Has he not done that? I think he kind of did. You know, it was like a politician apology, I think, from what I remember. No, I just mean that like, you know, I didn't want to take too much blame. It's just like, there's a lot of circumstances and we all make mistakes, like,

drags everything in. It's one of those. Yeah. But, you know, it's okay too. I mean, at the end of the day, he was going to get hammered by Chris Rock, either way. Let's jump over to Shane Gillis. This guy, this guy is a comedy legend.

He's quickly moving himself up through the ranks, also an absolute savage. It's going to be really interesting to watch how his comedy progresses because he's made such an impact so quickly in the comedy world and especially being like ostracized from SNL for like podcast conversations that he's had in the past. It almost made him more famous. What did he get ostracized for? Oh, he was like had some rant on a podcast about like maybe gay people or something. And then after a week or so of being given the SNL spot, they fired him, which is like, all right, okay.

But yeah, it's a podcast. People say shit. Well, I mean, he just has a crazy sense of humor. Yeah. So it makes him funny. Yeah. He's like, what a joke. I'm a 15 year old with the internet connection

Thought that was great 100% clearly some of the shit that they were looking at I mean they couldn't they wouldn't even show it It wouldn't even show that the woman who was you know pooping in her house for Three years or whatever that was Please 20 minutes on that. No, it was bad. How is that a thing?

And how did Shane find it? Well, that's hilarious. But what is going on in your mind? I thought about looking it up and I stopped myself. I do it, I don't need to see that. Let's try and get in the head of this piece. Not watching it. That mean clearly.

What could be happening? The shit house lady. They must have had toilets. Don't look it up. And she wanted to keep all of her shit in jars. Yeah, in bottles, apparently. Bottles, that's what it's said. So she's got a lot of bottles coming to her house

all the time because you got shits every day day So you got to think about that logistically. That's a big commitment And now all these jaws are getting to your house and you got a poop in them. You got a poop in jaws It's where did she think it was gonna go? Did she want to encourage I think a mother did it too? So what did she say? No, for 12 years. She was eating contaminated food the entire time, and then they came in to try to stop her from doing it, and she goes, I've been eating poop for 12 years.

But what did she mean eating poop? She's eating her own poop. Well, think about how much feces is all over everything in that house. I thought she was putting it in jobs. Well, come on, dude. Do you think you're gonna hit the jar every time? That's a good point. You can hardly hit the toilet. It is spell.

But get some deep mouth jaws at least. Yeah, like the things you make kombucha in. So what do you get those? So weird. Yeah, what else? Let's move on. No, no. Moving on, 64% of nails.

Moving on.org. They, move on.org. They, I can't remember who was on last week. They talked about this. That 64% of nails are single from 18 to 29. Crazy. Crazy to stick. But when it was less.

Yeah, but then they also made the point that maybe the males who are in these relationships don't really consider them relationships, whereas the women do. So that could be skewed. The numbers could clearly be skewed, but that seems like a really, really high number. And then they were saying that, you know, a lot of the women who are in the relationships are clearly dating men who are older than 29. So that also skews that number because it was from 18 to 29 was the age group. Is this is this a thing that's happening? I mean, we already hear about like population collapse, right? As a thing. Yeah, right? And there's been like conspiracies about, you know, I don't know what they call it,

euthanasia or like just getting rid of people through the ages, like Hitler did it, the Nazis, other people have talked about it before. It wasn't even like super unpopular when the Nazis brought it up have talked about it before. It wasn't even like super unpopular when the Nazis brought it up to believe it or not. It's like other countries were considering it. They were like, yeah, we don't want, they were like trying to like not castrate,

but just stop certain groups of people from having kids. Obviously Hitler made it super unpopular because yeah, he fucked up and did a terrible thing and made it ugly. Yet here we are, 2023, and people are talking about population collapse. Almost like somehow it was still slid into us Into the society and we didn't even notice well because how many people that we know that have got to like 40 and

Above they have enough kids people on looking to have kids. Yeah, they're doing their careers They've got us all distracted and focused. We got to work. We got to work a lot. We got to make tons of money. Well, for what? For all. For all. For all. For all. For all.

For all. For all. For all. For all. For all. For all. For all. For all.

For all. For all. For all. For all. For all. For all. For all. For all. For all. For all. For all. For all. For all. For all. For all. turn it into a conspiracy talk, but it's like somehow, it seems like it's happening anyway. It like crashes. It is happening.

People don't want to, I mean, if you think about just our friends in general, I would say it's about half and half, but the people who do have children are definitely not having more than two. And most of them are having one. There's a lot of single children there there now, which was never a thing really So it's interesting. I mean, it's interesting for my child who's gonna be three in a you know several months

Like what is his age group gonna be like that pool of children? I don't know. Yeah, our class is gonna be smaller Yeah, our class is gonna be smaller. Probably not. Class would be the same size, because they're always looking to maximize funding, but is it gonna be a bunch of kids that all have no brothers to assess this? Yeah, and then it's those kids. It's crazy.

I mean, just thinking about Japan, where, or was it China? I think both countries are having some population problems and only dudes, not enough women. But in Japan, also, there was like, wasn't there a two-child limit there, too? It's different than China. But there was a similar thing happening happening where there's just not as many Young people. I think it's because in Japan everybody works so hard, and it's just work work work Right, it's this the status symbol like you have to work Until you frickin' croak like these people are working 90 hour weeks and sleeping in their cubicles. Yeah

It's crazy to think about I mean, we'll see doesn't make me want to have another kid can 90 hour weeks and sleeping in their cubicles. Yeah. It's crazy to think about, I mean, we'll see, doesn't make me want to have another kid, I'll tell you that much right now, but I love that we had one. Okay, you did something. Yeah, yeah, you did something. Gotta keep that bloodline going. Yeah, so few people are doing that.

And then dating is so hard today, right? So everything is all right. I wouldn't, I wouldn't know So everything is all but it she was talking about. It would like came up. It's like it's getting more difficult. Yeah. I think eventually, you know, chat GPT and then they build a robot woman. Yeah.

Yeah, it happened. And then if that robot woman can have a uterus, that's weird. Then people will not put the energy in the data. Kinda crazy. Yeah, robot baby. I think there's something about comfortability too. Like people just don't want to be nagged.

I don't know what it is. I mean, there's so many reasons why I was scared to have a child, but it's things you don't even realize until you have a kid that you could just laughable now. You know, like I was thinking, oh, I don't want to have a kid because the world's fucked. And there's too much pollution. That was one of the things I thought about.

Now it's just laughable. Like, to even think that now, I'm so stoked that I have a child now that it doesn't even cross my mind anymore. So there's that. But also, my point is that I think there's a lot of people who just want to be comfortable. They don't want the nuisance of having a kid. They don't want the trouble of having a kid.

They don't want the extra added stress of having a child, which I totally understand. But I just think that there's so many people who are so used to being comfortable and not having like hardship in their lives that they're like, fuck it. I just want to be an adult and go out to dinner and have dates and do whatever the fuck I want and not be, not be burdened by a kid. I totally get that. But I think that's part of our culture. It's like started in the 80s, dude. Like we don't want to be burdened. Things have been easy for people and I'm not not saying that's wrong. I get it. Yeah, it's okay for them. But that's what's happening in my mind. That's the that's what I'm seeing. It was probably cocaine. There you go. Okay, good cocaine came and

people had such a good time. They were like, why did we do the rest of this? Yeah, I don't know. 80s coke baby. 80s coke. I liked how Joe brought up the first podcast sponsor that he ever had, which was a little flesh, fleshlight, which was Aubrey Marcus's parents. I had no idea. Is that true? Should I look at it? I mean, Joe said herey Marcus' parents started. I had no idea.

Is that true? Should I look at that? I mean, Joe said it. He's not lying. That's 100% true. I mean, what? What? I mean, I'm sure.

They made some dough off of that. Dude, I've listened to how many Aubrey podcasts, and I have never heard that. That was fascinating. But what a brilliant, like, in a sense, it paved the way for, like, all monetization of podcasts until today. There was nothing like that before. And really, it was flashlight. And I had no idea Aubrey was in the part of this. Obviously, you wanted to get away from flashlights. How far of flashlights got, by the way?

I don't even think I've ever even gone to their website or looked up anything. I kind of want to. Are you on there now? I'm looking it up because the beer can one was hilarious. Yeah, that sounded good. That sounded good. Let's just jump over there. I'll jump over.

You keep talking. We got time. Yeah, look it up. And look up Flashlight. Let's see what the best one is. Flashlight.com revenue. So Flashlight revenue, it's looking at about 72.5 million in sales. Damn. on their website

So so let's find out actually where Aubrey Placing that it's in the toys hobby and DIY category Wow That's a big number to make over 50 million in sales every year here over year impressive Yeah, never never checked one out. Great name though. Are you on the website? Well, I'm trying to find out where Aubrey,

like where he plays. Like was he, was his family part of it? Or was that what he said? He said his parents owned it. Was that what it was? That's what Rogan was saying. That's wild. Here. That is something I did. Okay, you keep looking that up and we get to the bottom of this mystery. What an interesting

answer. I'm not very happy. Let's see. Blah blah blah blah. Yeah, they, his parents, his biological mother and who owns interactive life forms with her husband Steve Schubin, they are better known as the investors of the fleshlight. Mmm. So big investors. And then Aubrey was like, his father owns it. Okay. Damn.

Mmm. So yeah. So what is he, a trust fund kid from like masturbation toys? Seems like it, but you got a love Aubrey though. So oh, he's a great guy, you know great guy He's not just sitting around doing nothing all day. So kudos to him. Wow. He's definitely joked off with those things a few times It's good What a time I still haven't seen Shane's latest like comedy reels for Because it was a behind a paywall and I don't even know what to find it

So we did all those trumpet impressions you ever see any of those trump skits back in the day Yeah, yeah, really they're great. Yes, so good at it and so they released the second season Which obviously you, but like, I just assume that they'd be released somewhere else. It's not that I don't wanna pay to like see him because he's a legend, I wanna watch those, I'm sure they could skits. But I don't even know what they're behind

to even look up, which is a bit of a bummer. Yeah. Behind a paywall dude, watch out. Yeah, I'm not gonna find them. Well, you never know with those paywall, dude, watch out. Yeah, I'm not going to find them. Well, you never know with those paywalls, bro. If it's like you're just paying into another subscription that you forget the cancel. Oh, dude. So many of those.

I have that problem. Dude, I just had to get rid of stamps.com, which I haven't used in over a year. Dude, don't say that. They might be a sponsor one day. I'm just saying, they were great when I was using them, but Shopify has, I think Shopify does a better job and it's connected with the website already, so you don't have to use stamps.com, but stamps.com worked great until I had a Shopify site.

But what do you think of the, oh, what was it? This was towards the end, but they talked about that on the Heraldos show, and we've all heard this before Do the opium. It's like you look at wars and why they're Why we go through them and why we do these things and like an omelace The we pay for is guarding opium fields, which makes total sense It's like if it's not oil. It's opium And where does 96% of all heroin slash opium come from Afghanistan? Well, you know what's interesting about it is like we talk about morals and ethics,

right? That's how like politicians speak to us. But really what they did is they get to that country and they realize the people with the most money and power run these fields. Yeah. And they export it, they do all this. If we don't work with them, they won't give us intel. And probably what happened is the people that ran these fields were like, hey, we'll give you all the intel you want. We'll direct you everywhere you need to go in this country and give you safe passage. But since you have all these guns and shit, why don't you just protect our fields?

And it's just this like game of cooperation. Yeah, I don't know. Which really sums up what governments and military do anyway? Well, they talked about it in not Chainspod, but in Burt's Pod towards the end. That guy who wrote that book, War is a racket. Oh, yeah. They talked about that, which is similar to what is still happening over and over and over again. It's like the few people make billions and then everybody else dies.

Yeah, we just keep continuing to do it. We have a lot of freedom. You just started, you know, when we were talking earlier on about like a privilege position in the universe, like that's a part of it. A part of it. You know? What? Of course.

That's why we're safe. That's why we have freedom. You don't think that, okay, so we had a tiny military and we didn't go and do these things in other countries. We also still have this life where you get the ski all the time. I guess what up, it's hard to say because we don't have that.

It's not happening, but no, we would not have it. We'd be like all other countries that don't get those sorts of freedoms, for sure. Because... Okay. Well, you're someone from another country. You were born in the UK. Correct. Did they have the same freedoms as we do?

There's more here. Way more. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, America has a lot more freedoms. What are some of the examples you think? Well, I mean freedom of speech you can get arrested in England for saying more things like they don't even have to be that Alamdish, but you think that's because you think that's because they're not at war with other countries and they're not the strongest. Oh, no, I mean they're doing okay, but they just have like woke stuff in that culture

that's like heavier and it's more uniform. Whereas here, it's like state to state. Yeah, well, I look at it this way. We're still profiting off of war and until that changes, regardless of the freedoms that they want us to think we have because of war, it's fucking bullshit. Oh, no, I'm not saying it's good But what I'm saying is what you just said like oh, we have these freedoms because we're the strongest, we're the baddest I think is just a way That we tell each other things so that I think it's just a way that we tell each

other things so that we think it's okay to be at war. You might be right. That's just propaganda. I'm not a war historian, but it was interesting for me to hear about this book that was written in 1935 and this dude was a general in the war world war one and he's talking about the exact same things that are continually happening and have happened since then only way worse and do it I can't even begin to read that book was only 55 pages it would be so depressing But he's talking about the same things, like sugar canes. I was, you know, they were in the sugar cane industry

and they're down in South America, like making sure that standard oil gets, you know, X amount of land to do. But you do realize what you just said is we don't need to go to war to have the freedoms we have. But then you talk about sugar cane and oil, which is like for a long time, sugar was a huge part of our economy.

Also oil still is, no, no, I mean, it's killing us, but it like ran a huge part of our economy. It's like we got it all at low price, we could export it and sell it to our people here and like keep them alive. I'm not saying these things are good, but there's a reason we're propped up and we have freedoms that we have that people can live comfortable lives and it's to the expense of other people, which is bad.

But then if you take a person and then you say, okay, so here's what we did to give you this life. Are you willing to lose all of your privileges that you have and your comforts for the sake of others? I think we would want to believe that we would do that, right? Because of atrocities over time. But generally, Because of atrocities over time, but generally Like so many people are just fucking struggle into exist It's like yeah, I know it's a tough one well I mean we could I could go on and on about this but what I what I do believe is that we have the capabilities and the knowledge to have free energy and cars that do not run on gasoline. So all these wars are just bullshit

that really, really, really, really, really rich people started hundreds of years ago and are continually doing to stay at power because they can. So... you know. It's Spiracy.org. Tesla. How the conspiracy did? Not a conspiracy.

They are so scared because they know that it's possible to live without oil and to live without, you know. Well, to live without these companies, right? That would be bad for them. course like if individual if like every household Had their own chickens had their own garden Like they're so scared of that food. Yeah, and then we have like solar panels and stuff So like we can yeah, we can get your internet But we really don't need you for anything else right right?

We're only gonna come to you when we need something. Like that would be a very difficult group of people for a government to control, for sure. I mean, and they like have their own local schools and most of the parents are like around all the time because they don't have to go to jobs constantly, like nine to five or a working warehouse or whatever. They're just there with their kids, like raising them how they want to with the values that they want. Yeah, it would be real difficult for them.

Joe talks about that all the time. It's like what if we just had this creative economy or this, this, I love that. Like we had all the energy and we had enough money to do the things we wanted to do all day long how much more would we actually you know be a part of something better or you know not be worried about all this stupid shit that we worry about all the time because we don't need the next best thing he talks about that with iPhones all the time.

Like if we weren't inclined, some, for whatever reason, you know, humans want the bigger, better thing. If we didn't think that way, what would we actually become? And would it be a utopia? I don't know. But we sure as hell wouldn't be thinking that progress means the next best iPhone two years from now. Yeah, so dumb, which is so dumb. So dumb. Well, go blessed. There we go. We go into it again. J. R. A.
