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 Pullen. My interview to the worst podcast was a best one. One, go.

Enjoy the show. Hey guys and welcome to this episode of the Joe Rogan Experience Review. My name is Adam, joined us always by Todd. What's happened? Good morning, buddy. Another beautiful day. Another beautiful day. It is nice. It's a wonderful time. We have Reggie Watts and Brian Redban. And first off, I want to say we have some interesting things happening in the podcast world. in the podcast world. Brian and Joe hit on it, which we get to in a little more detail, but up in Canada, Trudeau is doing an interesting thing where shows that, and this really,

I think mainly only affects a very big podcast, like podcasts that make, I think the amount is something around like 10 plus millions of like very big shows, but they are looking to basically Sensor in a way or control the content of the show that having them register up there and Why this is a concern is is things like this really haven't happened in the West, right? So like China probably Russia. I'm sure North Korea has zero podcasts. There are some countries that control a lot of what goes on. But in the West, not so much. And with Canada, this is, this is kind of a new move that they're playing out. And ultimately, I think it will trickle down to other shows.

And what, you know, what does that mean for shows like Rogan? Doesn't mean that people will not have access to his show up there. It's scary. Yeah, I don't, I don't like the leaning. And of course, it's always proposed as like this positive event. You know, it's like an act where they put like truth or safety in the or the word patriot in the title. Just so you you know that if you agree with it, you're doing a good service for the country. You feel good. Yeah. And then you and then you read and they're like, Oh, no, it's just for safety.

It's just to make sure there's no misinformation spread. And it's like, whoa, whoa, whoa. Who, who's deciding how many, how many people you put on this board? How diverse is this board? I mean, it's crazy enough to think that you can't, you know, red band can't have kill the word kill has to be crossed out now on YouTube, you know, just in the thumbnail. Like really, it's the name of the show.

Yeah, what are we doing? And you know, how they're using it? Kill him with laughter. It's like, oh, that show killed me. Yeah, that's the way that's how that word is being used. They're not trying to kill anyone. Gosh, man. Unreal, dude.

Unreal. What should we start with? Excuse me. Should we start with Red Band today, brother man? Yeah, let's start with the Red Band. I mean, we're already into it. So yeah, I mean, along these same lines, Joe started to applaud by saying that he's

getting a bit freaked out before he goes to sleep. Now, I don't know, maybe know, maybe maybe smoking a little bit too much before you guess the bed. He's having no thoughts. I mean, it's wild times though. I mean, this last few weeks, you know, it's crazy. Try, try not to think about it. But what is it? What is it all times? Like what is a person like you and I do when World War three is basically starting? I don't know. I don't know what you do. I can't, is it bad that I can't know. I don't know what you do. I can't watch.

Is it bad that I can't watch the news? Is that horrible? Am I just an apathetic loser? No, it's too depressing. I don't recommend it for most people. I don't know what the good is, you know? The news is loving it because everyone's watching it. Like their ratings are probably through the roof.

And they know what gets you to watch watching explosions and buildings blowing up. Which is interesting because they are showing more of the destruction in Palestine than they do generally in the Ukraine. They almost don't show really any of the footage over there. That is interesting. Why do you think that is? Well, because we're just dumping money into it,

and we don't want to be reminded that it's like we're giving them more of this money, and then all these people are dying, which is what's happening. So they, I think that they just make it seem like most of the focus there is just on the politics behind it, and how much money we're giving and how the Ukrainian people are strong and you know it's it's it's that's more of that narrative that I see. It's the propaganda. With the whole beginning of of the Israel-Palestine thing, it's just they're just showing destruction. Oh, sad, buddy. Well, let's get into something else because that is depressing right now.

And it's the morning and it's Friday. I'm trying to have a good day. But yeah, it's just sad. What do you do? I don't know what to do, man. Well, Brian bought one of those Tesla solar things. And I think Rogan's going to get the Starlink. It's like, are these solutions, though? No, I mean, yeah, you could still you could still have internet and a bit of power, but like

What does this mean only like the wealthiest people are gonna gonna have anything still working once this kicks off? Do we need to move to the woods? Is it good to have a cabin in the middle of nowhere? I mean, you know what? Do you want to just make sure you're in a place that is not going to get a freaking newt? I can park my feet. I don't know. I just don't know how bad it is. It seems bad, but like, is it and now we're paying, it seems that we're kind of paying for wars on two fronts, potentially. It seems expensive, dude. Can we do this? We don't seem like we have a lot of money right now as a country, and now we've got another war to pay for.

That's, yeah, it just, it just hurts. You know, when you see these bombs going off with children and civilians and these poor people just, I mean, it's just, it's sad. I don't know. I don't know what to do. It is. You go out. This is my own protest room. What's that going to do? Right. I also feel like everybody's kind of has the same mentality. It was brought up in Instagram. I there was a couple People, you know, so you know you always have the outspoken Instagram friend that's always posting stuff to make you think and then I watched a little You know eight-minute video on Gaza and how it was started and basically the Israelis started the Gaza group and started That group so that Yasser Araf. And I might not be exactly sure.

This is just from what I watched, but they were trying to get people to not follow Yossir Airfat at the time. And so they tried to start this other political group that was like a little bit more radical. And that's what turned into, or not Gaza, sorry, the Hamas. Hamas? Yeah.

Anyways. So they were like messing with that politics. I mean, look, there's a lot of crazy history I was sorry, the Hamas. Hamas? Yeah. Anyways. So they were like messing with their politics. I mean, look, there's a lot of crazy history over there with the tensions. I mean, you know, it just seems like, okay, if you can't ever have peace there, I mean, at least don't have it,

so you're not blowing each other up, because that seems bad for everybody. Yeah. I mean, and what was this about Joe was saying, but Biden just gave billions of dollars to Iran and then Hamas thanking Iran for funding the attack? That, I hope that shit's not true. That sounds like whoops. This episode is brought to you by Coca-Cola Creations. That sounds like... whoops. 3000 the bright fruity taste of the future search Coca-Cola Y 3000 to learn more

Well, why would we give him so much money? It's going on that I Don't know has something to do with backing Israel, which is also screwed up, you know I think it's all screwed up. It's hard to say I'm no historian, but Doesn't Jesus want everyone to enjoy Bethlehem? You did hope so. You know, but I get it. I get with the concerns. I'm sure a lot of people are feeling like that. And it's like, where do you go? On a much more positive note, kill Tony. Thank you. Thank you. We saw back in, what was that April? When did we go out to the club?

Yeah, it was an April. Yeah. Um, you know, they just sold out a stadium for new years. I thought it was a theater, a stadium. No, 15,000 people. Yeah. For New Year's. And they sold it out so quick, they're doing a second show. Why would you not?

I mean, they are raking in the cash right now. I can't imagine how much money they're making from that, especially Red Band, good for him. He produces that show, usually says pretty consistently the dumbest things on the blessing. I think it's pretty clear that he does. But he's obviously a great producer. He's made that show. And he's holy crap.

He's great. What was the thing this Apple thing that he was talking about? Are the easy talking about like how new phones are basically just going to be like a hologram with glasses and you're going to have to wear a battery pack? Is that what he was talking about? with glasses and you're going to have to wear a battery pack. Is that what he was talking about? Yeah, so Apple has a new VR or maybe AR headset. Okay, that's what it was. And it's portable. So you have a wire that connects to your ear thing. And then the battery looks like one of those.

You remember that like battery little battery pack I used to have in the studio. Yeah, yeah. It's just like that black thing. It's like you carry that around with you now because it needs power. Yeah, we're just becoming cyborg. Oh man, people are just going to be walking around with that thing and like running out in the chassis. Yeah, while the world is just blowing up around us, we're just in our own video game. That's, you know, meta meta has a really dope one coming out. I don't know if you've seen the one when he was on Lex Friedman.

And basically, oh, yeah, yeah, I know what you're talking about. Yeah, the same room is somebody. Yeah. So it basically scans your face. It makes like a almost perfect, um, avatar of you, you know, and I'm like in the VR with you. Right. And I can see you just like you're in front of me.

Dude, that's pretty badass. We could use that. Imagine, imagine that for the pod. I mean, I don't know how much those are going to be. That sounds pretty fucking expensive, but that's a huge jump forward from Oculus 2. Like the Oculus is it was interesting. It was it was cool.

I had one. But what did the Oculus do? It's another it's a VR, you know, but it's like, I guess second generation of the meta ones. And, you know, it was okay. It was a bit clunky. It was pretty cool. It was, it did a lot more than I thought it was going to do, but it wasn't enough to kind of hold me in there. I mean, some of the tracking was a bit like whatever and the games were, for me, a little juvenile, you know? But now with things like that, you know, being able to do meetings in new ways

and who knows what else they can add to it? Like that's pretty fucking cool technology. Again, walking around in the street with it on though. Oh, we really there. I don't think so, dude. You know, most tourists have their head in the air or their head down and looking at their phone while they cross the street anyways.

It's not much different. That's true. I feel like that's not going to catch on universally until it's either a cool pair of sunglasses or contact lens. Right. It's got to be something like that. It's weird. It's just too bulky. You know, that's the problem. You can't be walking around with with such bulky shit. But you know, either way, man, I mean, what was it? 20 years ago, we had the

iPod, like, look how far we've come in 20 years. That was 20 years ago. Yeah. I mean, I remember playing Legend of Zelda in the 80s with all my kids on 20 years. That was 20 years ago. Yeah. I remember playing Legend of Zelda in the 80s with all my kids on the block. It was like the one kid had Legend of Zelda and we all went to his house to watch and play it. That was cool. That was probably 1987.

Mm-hmm. Yeah. I mean, we games have come a long way, for sure. Yeah. And then I got Zelda for Christmas. You know, it was so cool because the cartridge was gold. I mean, that was legit. Do you know if that was a first generation cartridge, meaning like the game when it was brand new. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Cause I got it for Christmas. And you, and if you didn't unwrap it. So let's say you got to, You know, your aunt got you one and your dad,

and you just put the other one in a drawer. You never opened it. That cartridge could be worth as much as a million dollars. Come on. Yeah, I think the original Zelda, first gen for NES sealed, an imperfect condition would have to be perfect. Wow.

Like nobody ever touched it. There's almost none of those that exist. And my buddy, he collects video games and like VHS that's all sealed. You know, so he's like a collectibles guy. Yeah, yeah. That game, that game is the one that will be it. That will be your retirement, dude. If you had just done that, think how easy of a move that would have been post

Malone would buy it. Yeah, I would. And then 100%. Oh, who's the guy from SNL? David, who's the guy that was like dates everybody from SNL? What era in the 90s? No, right now. He'd like just dated Kim Kardashian.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, Pete Davidson. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. So he collects VHS tapes. Gotcha. You mean, no, you mean Nintendo games?

No, no, he collects VHS tapes, right? So another collectibles. He's been doing this for years. He has like thousands of first editions Everyone was making fun of him and recently some of these Tape started to sell for like 30 to 50 60,000 dollars and he owns like the majority of the collection out there Good for him. He's off to be a nerd sometimes good for him sounds better than buying all the frickin

Good for him. He's off to be a nerd sometimes. Good for him. Sounds better than buying all the frickin comms that I have in my inbox and go daddy. You missed the you missed the calm boom by about 20 years. So it's not that it's a bad idea. I think you just missed it. Oh, yeah. So they were all over the place, too, but there was a lot of talks of, you know, similar talks that Joe gets into the, the, you know, if the tic tacks are real, Joe's really coming around to the, this idea that there are. And he's got me thinking that they might be ours too. I don't know. I'm biased because we listen to a lot of Rogan, but maybe he's right, man.

I mean, like the aliens would, they'd come down here by now. If those were alien ships, like you'd think there'd be more crashes, you'd think there'd be more interactions, not just these little crappy little videos that we see on radar and cell phones. I know we've talked about this so many times, but I feel like his mind has changed with this one, and now he's thinking that it's our technology. Well, it does seem a little suspicious, that in a lot of ways, they've made like a 180. Like they've worked very hard to shut all of this information down.

Right. Forever. You know, just close it. And they've got to a point where I think it's just much harder to keep a lid on it. At Public Mobile, we do things differently. From our subscription phone plans to throwing a big sale right now when no one else is. Well, maybe they are, but who cares?

Our sale is better. And it's on right now, no waiting necessary. You have the latest phone, now take advantage of a great price on a 5G subscription phone plan. It's the perfect deal for anyone who could use some savings right now. Subscribe today at publicmobile.ca, different is calling. And to go kind of full board into congressional hearings and declassifying documents and allowing people to discuss it that are like in the military, it just seems like a sharp

change, which is suspicious, right? For whatever conclusion you get from it, you know, maybe most people think the same thing. Staleilians and now the government is just like, yeah, we can't keep quiet anymore. But it seems suspicious that they would flip. Like that's a 180. And the government usually doesn't do that, dude. So I don't know what to think either. I don't know if I'm on board with Rogan about it being our stuff. I still struggle to think that it could be because it's like,

well, why wouldn't our military just be using this stuff? I mean, couldn't we just like zap one of these ships in there real fast and blow everything up and end the war? I mean, we're still sending in a tank that just goes like 50 miles an hour. Or what they say, the, the mock nuke stealth missile from like the frickin 50s or 60s, they're using the have to use frickin or sorry, the mock new disc. Now the mock new stealth missiles, the newer one, right? But now they're, they're using $600 billion.

So you had to keep them in fighting shape. Was that the one with the floppy disk? From like, I think so. They just changed from floppy disks to something new. I am a bit saying that though. That to me is not that surprising because probably what is happening there is they're just creating systems that can't be hacked, right? So even though a floppy disk is super old technology,

I mean, you would hope these systems are like completely off the grid. So because you can't be having your nukes hacked. Right. So, you know, they've probably got like an Atari in there just running all the nukes. Well, wasn't there a time here in Montana where they actually they had in the, I can't remember the Air Force base, but it's where a lot of the nukes are stored up near great

fast. And they they saw some alien, you know, there was an encounter there or somebody had seen some flying saucers or whatever the hell they call them nowadays the UUAI's but Anyway, they had shut down and this has happened in several places right? We're like everything just kind of stops and nothing none of the technology's working for a while and then it cut and then it turns back on Yeah, so that was like a blowing glowing red orb that basically just floated through the base and then all the systems went off Everything went off and then came back on and they can't explain it and But they were a bunch of our witnesses for that event. That was the one in Montana. I

Believe so buddy. Yeah, yeah, I think something similar to that happened in England too The cuz they they have quite a lot of, um, UFO sightings. Uh, at least back in the day. I mean, yeah, what are you supposed to think about that? Is it just a cool story? It did just happen one time and then no other times. It's like, what? Sorry, what do you even think?

We can speculate all day. We'll never know. But I did appreciate how at the end, Joe just says, if, you know, if the aliens are going to come down, it seems like a good time to make it happen right now. To now's the time, fellas. Get your asses down here. Yeah. Yeah.

Give us a bit of instruction. I mean, either them or chat GPT area up, give us give us a solution here, start running these programs for good and not for evil. All right, let's just go on. I just got to mention one last thing because we're we were talking about video games there for a second. So this Twitch thing, people go online to watch other people play video games. That's how into video games people are. Dude, it's super popular on real people watch other people play games for hours. Well, but think about it, right? So if you're a gamer or let's say you, you're not even a big gamer, but you,

you have some games that you like, right? So, well, think back to you being a kid with Zelda. And now all of a sudden, there's a TV show that's on where someone is like perfect. some games that you like. Right. So, well, think back to you being a kid with Zelda. And now all of a sudden, there's a TV show that's on where someone is like perfect at the game. Yeah, I can see that. Not only are you learning how to play it better, but you're getting to see like, you know, the most precise movement to like get through each level and just kind of improve. Like watching. watching. I mean, it makes sense. Yeah, I would imagine as a kid, I would have watched it.

I get it. I would have been into it. I get it. But yeah, maybe, maybe also not the most productive time that you could spend. I mean, if it's getting out of control, what did Red Band say? He spent like four hours watching someone play something. Yeah, exactly. And so this is a paid service, is a paid service. You have to, you have to buy it online to watch it. Twitch, I know, no, I think it's just probably like a YouTube deal. You know, it's just

like a streaming platform that you just go on and then you find people that you like to follow and every day that log in because they're're getting paid and you just watch them. Crazy. You know, some kid playing while like 10,000 other people are watching and play a game. That's crazy. We should check it out. The stats, what was it? Three out of four people in the United States play games, like video games.

I'd like to, you know, if solitaire on your phone is considered a game, I guess that could be true, but that seemed like way too high of a number, but maybe it's just because I'm not a game guy. It did seem high, but they did say that what was it? 600 million people were playing in China. Yeah, well, well, that's a shitload of people, you know, at least they're having fun. Just get outside a little bit guys come on run around Get some sunshine.

Get some sunshine. Yeah, at least Pokemon had people like walking around the places. Right. Right. All right, let's get to our boy Reggie. Good old Reg. What a legend. What an unusual character.

Also, he seems to be really into drugs shocker. Wow well Academy for sure it can definitely be like the ketamine bumps wowsers. I've never tried that so I don't know I don't know sounds like people like it people are liking it Well, I just I just read recently to the FDA You know because it's been being used as like therapy, right? You know because it's been you being used as like therapy, right? And and it has been for a while Neil Brown has been using it. He talked about it when he came on Rogan The FDA now is is said that they don't approve it. Oh, boy. It's not approved by them and You know blah blah blah. So I don't know where this like you know again 180

I thought the government was like leaning into more of these So I don't know where this like, you know, again, 180. I thought the government was like leaning into more of these. Oh, absolutely. They should unusual therapeutic chemicals, but I guess not. Yeah. When you're just happened, huh? That just happened. I think the article was pretty new.

And then also Gavin Newsom just kind of squashed a bill that was going to bring, I think, psilocybin into useful therapeutics. Can you say big pharma? Wonder what kind of paycheck you got from big pharma on that one, Gabby. No, I mean, you know, you don't want to always just jump into conspiracies, but my God, this big pharma have their hands in everything. It seems. And you know what? Now that they've got an extra hundred billion dollars just injected into the finances, it's like, well, then they go and know what? You know what? I mean, just synthesize it

then. Okay. If you're going to take over anyways instead of not Letting anyone else do it just figure out how to synthesize it and then buy everyone else out I don't like Monopoly's but if that's the only way people are gonna get rooms fine. That's better than not Having the therapy available in my mind Right, I think that the number one thing is Get the help to the people that need it as soon as possible. Yeah. What worries me is every time they mess with the drugs and extract it and synthesize it,

they usually make a more dangerous version of it. Totally. Because our body can't break it down the same way, and then there's like kidney liver problems, because of all the things that they've changed. And they're also talking about taking out the hallucinogenic effects of it so that you get the other parts of it that are supposed to help with the therapy. And it's like, oh, are we really supposed to be messing with these things? That's silly. It's a joke. Oh, man. Well, I want to look up this L&D Thompson guy and the AI guy talks about who human evolution. I mean, Reggie's clearly a very smart dude.

And he's just brilliant at, you know, messing with people. He's a thinker. He loves messing with people. I love how he, he like one of his favorite things to do is if somebody's being a dick and like all of his, what did he say? All his friends are in a circle and they're like, God, that guy's being such a dick. And Reggie will say, yeah, that dude's being such a dick. He's like totally helping that old lady out.

What a dick. It's just like his, his wit, man, he's, he's just on it. He is so on it. He's a, he's a funny baby. Have you seen his shows, man, they're incredible. His music, his music, and the way he changes his voice, and he's like doing stand up and music at the same time. And he's got like, like a synthesizer and a bunch of frickin' pedals on the floor. And like, he's basically DJing his own live comedy show and telling stories and then going back to the music and changing his voice.

That fucking guy is like the dude from a like high tower from from. Oh, please Academy. He's got like, no, it wasn't high tower. High tower was the toll guy. Oh, that's right. It was the other shorter dude at all the voices. I can't think of his name. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. But uh, but Reggie's got it, man. And and he's from great falls of quick shout out to Montana. We, you know,

Bozangela, see through that in there, which my God, we're getting way too popular in this town, but Reggie, it's Bozavily Hills. Okay. We've moved up. We've moved up a step. I didn't know he was from that. That's that's the interesting thing that he grew up there. He probably gave him a really interesting perspective on his new book. He's straight up called Great Falls. Hmm. No doubt. Yeah, I saw him do a TED talk once and I'll put a link in the bio so you guys can watch it. And it is exactly what you said. It's just like, I don't even think he actually speaks in it at all. He might

have a little intro to start. And then he just goes into like strange sounds. Unusual like language, he speaks. Yeah. In like incoherent ways, but it sounds like words. Right, right. And I mean, very clever stuff. Yeah, he'll pretend to be like a scientist or some sort of like character, right? He has different characters and different voices, you know, accents. But yeah, man, brilliant dude.

I was, oh, here's one thing that I had to mention because man, this Bernie Sanders thing, I don't remember here in this with Bernie, you know, I'm a Bernie fan, but taking one cent from every speculation by on the stock market and giving that, you know, putting that towards some sort of universal income. Pretty cool idea. Pretty cool. That's what he, he talked about that when he was on Rogan. I mean, I don't know enough about economics

to know how that would affect the stock market trades or like ultimately how much money that takes away from people investing. But it kind of sounds like a good idea. Yeah. It's just shaving like a tiny piece off of this massive money making machine. Yeah, it's just a little bit. Yeah, that worked out great. Oh, Superman 3, I believe.

Oh, yes. We got to check out his book. He's been to Montana a ton of times. I definitely would recommend going to see Reggie. Apparently we need to try cat. I mean, uh, sounds fun. Just maybe not too much of it. And the FDA does not approve that. Oh, you'll say, you know, come on, that's they, I love them getting into cars like obviously Reggie's a huge. Oh, um, it was like half the show. Half the show was about new cars. It always is though with Reggie. He loves them. And he knows a shitload about electric cars. They brought up a bunch

of them. I didn't realize there was so much competition for Tesla potentially. Yeah. That truck that he was talking about. What was that called? The truck that they showed. Because he was saying he liked the Rivian and they were disagreeing on whether the Rivian was cooler than the Tesla truck. And then he brought up another truck and I can't think of the name of it, but man, that thing was very rough.

There were a bunch. Yeah, a lot of them looked really cool. It's going to be interesting to see how many more of these we start seeing. And ultimately, I think how it affects our power grid, you know, as more and more people have electric cars, everyone's just going to be plugged in constantly. Well, we need solar. We need solar for that, or we got to get into nuclear.

Nuclear. I mean, it's the only way. Yeah. Yeah, it's only way, buddy. Well, I mean, the it seems like the way to make vehicles though, there's so much faster, they have so much more power. I mean, they're just super vehicles. And ultimately, the maintenance has to be a lot less right because you're not changing the oil You're not doing like there's got to be a bunch of stuff in there that you don't have to mess with yeah I mean those batteries typically last I think 10 years You know, yeah, so that's that's a big switch out. That's it. That's probably better to lease it

Yeah, I mean there's getting the leasing market. They're sweet. I had a hybrid that was one of the coolest cars I ever had. It was just the highlander hybrid. And it was that thing was strong. Dude, it could tell my boat, it could tell a trailer. You know, it had two separate electric, you know, engines, I guess, even called an engine. I don't know. Motor motor motor.

Just a motor. Yeah. What kind of gas mileage did you get from that? Well, it was a V6 and it had quite a bit of power. I don't know the horsepower, but it was like 28 miles to the gallon and you'd actually get better mileage in the city, right? Because when you're when you're slowing down is when it is when the battery charges. Right. And I guess this was like not recently. This is so the technology.

Yeah, 2012 technologies probably come a long way from there. And Mr. Carr ended up buying the van instead. Now I get like 10 miles to the gallon, but you know, you've seen the beater. You've seen the beater. And now I'm close to town, so I've been biking bike. Just bike people if you can. Okay. It's better for you.

It's the best best for yourself and the environment with some glass with some oculars on Yeah, listen to your podcast So the simulation meet I would like to try that he brought that up sounds like Reggie's a huge foodie, right? I mean Seems like he's a food addict. Do you really want to eat? I just want to try it. I mean, look, I, you know, I love my beef. I love cows. And I think cows are great if you, if you're a farmer that isn't, you know, creating

feed lots, you know what I mean? And like just shoving cows into a fucking gross muddy mess of a lot, you know what I mean? And like just shoving cows into a fucking gross muddy mess of a lot. You know what I mean? Like if cows are grazing out in the field in Montana, yeah, I love eating those ones. Those grass fed ones are great, but not everybody has that. That's true. Not everybody can get that. Most of the beef is just kind of squashed into a thing. It's nasty, dude. And full of hormones. It's horrible. That's shit's horrible for you. That's not the kind of meat. Joe eats. Joe's always talk about eating meat. He's not eating the gross feedlot meat from middle America. I mean, that is not the way to go. I mean, it's not the way to go. So if, but most people can't afford it.

So if they can't make lab meat, which basically, well, this is. That doesn't have those things, but they can also make it at a comparable price. Yeah. We, I think we just got to test it a lot though. I mean, we really gotta have some standards in there that are quite high before it hits the market. Because- Or else it'll ruin it, yeah.

Well, it just doesn't sound, it sounds like there could be some problems. So if there isn't great, I'm all for it, but like prove it to us. I mean, don't just buy off a bunch of, you know, companies in the FDA and then be like, nah, it's fine. You'd be right. But let's, let's think about what a chicken nugget is for a minute. Would you rather have a chicken nugget, which is basically just a bunch of chicken guts and feet and frickin feathers, all ground up into a nice little mushy patty that they then fry, or would you rather have it made in a lab where it's like all the same, you know, fake chicken protein that actually came from cells of a chicken? I don't know. I'm gonna go with the fake. Because a chicken nugget tastes pretty damn good,

especially when you're little. You don't know any better. Yeah, I mean, you've got to kind of, you've got to kind of agree with that. I mean, there are a lot of meat products that we can eat that are highly processed and really pretty fucking gross. Right.

I mean, what do they say? You've got McDonald's and you have a burger and it's like probably like 10 different cows. Yeah, man, no thanks. Okay. No thanks. All right, so I googled something about I just wrote dangers of lab meat, which is a bit of a loaded thing to Google because it's only gonna bring up the worst stuff, but you know, just whatever, I just put that in. So it says the truth is there are a host of concerns when it comes to lab meat. The production process requires heavy use of antibiotics and hazardous materials. Diseases can spread throughout a facility or into the product during the process.

Maybe. So why are you using antibiotics? I feel like it sounds like you're reading about a feed lot right now. No, it says, hmm, it says the truth about lab meat there. Weird. So what does the FDA say, safe for humans to eat? Well, we can always trust the FDA, buddy. It says the FDA's ruling means that upside lab-grown chicken is safe for humans to eat. Diff is from regular chicken on a cellular level.

Well, pretty crazy that Tyson is the, he said it was like the biggest provider or the, you know, the, the people spending the most money on fake chicken right now is actually Tyson, the brand, which is probably one of two brands that are the biggest chicken producers in the country. Yeah. And I, you know, and I don't, I haven't heard a lot of good things about Tyson and how they make their food. You know, they're just about pumping food into the stores. It's not like high quality anything. So who knows what their stamina will be.

But you know, what are the upsides, right? I mean, they're probably a lot, maybe environmental, maybe just availability and ultimately, maybe it is better. Maybe they can do other cool things like pump a bunch of other nutrients and vitamins and make sure everybody has like high-level vitamin D because they put that in the chicken or something I mean these things might be possible and that's that stuff I can get behind yeah and then just make it look like a steak. 3D print that bad boy,

give me some char on there. Like, do you stuff to cook it? You got a cook it still, right? I want it to come to the house raw so I can actually throw it on the grill. It's like pre-cooked, hydrated, fake meat. You got to throw some powder on throw. I don't know. I'm out on it.

Do you think it just shows up as like just a chewy like a, just a squishy blob? And then like, here you go. You put it in water and it grows. It's a good, it's like one of those old, uh, I don't even know what those were when we were little. It was like those little guys that get all slimy. You leave them in a cup of water for the night and they grow like 10 times bigger. Yeah. You put them in the bathtub and it just turns into a big dinosaur.

This is the shit we we were having fun with while we were little small. Well, honestly, I think when they sell you chicken anyway and most meats, they do pump it for the water. They like actually inject the chicken breast to pl pump it for the water. They actually inject the chicken breast with water. So it's heavier and larger and looks like fresh and juicy. There you go. Yeah. Gotta stay hydrated.

There might be a way of packing this stuff and then in crispy little nuggets and then you just soak them. There you go. Yeah. There you go. I think about it. I got a few things here. One other thing. Yeah, what else you got?

Well, so the beginning, just a quick recap of this podcast, I'm going to give here, because I thought the first hour was incredible. And then, you know, I love cars too, but I'm not like a huge car fan. You know me, I like to ride my bike more than drive, but whatever. I'm more of a van guy. But then they talked about cars for for like an hour and then they went into the food thing at the end

But the beginning of this podcast when they're just Chitchat and back and forth. You just kind of you could really See what just a genuine dude Reggie is, you know like he genuinely Just wants to interact with people. He said the biggest tie he gets and he clearly likes drugs. He's like the biggest tie I get is having a conversation with someone who disagrees with me. I thought that was one of the coolest things that I heard on the pod.

He's just like, I love being open-minded. Other than the moon landing, he is absolutely not open-minded about whether or not that's real or fake. Anyway, but just having a conversation with people, which is, as we know, very hard these days, for even open-minded people to have a conversation with someone that they disagree with, and then come away and maybe change their mind a little bit, it seems like he goes out of his way to have those conversations.

Yeah. Yeah. He's he's a great dude, man. I mean, thoughtful, smart, funny, quirky. I mean, obviously, Joe's tight with him, loves having him on there. And in a way, I think that the next time he's on, I kind of hope they don't talk about cars as much as I'd like to learn more about, it just learn a bit more about Reggie. You know, what his day today is and just more of that kind of personal stuff, you know, or projects he's working on and these sorts of things. He touches on some stuff, but you know, now that he's done with the late late show, it's like, it'd be interesting to see what he's up to next, but great guest and a super interesting guy. Well worth a lesson. All right, we call it that for this week. Thank you

Todd. So much. Thanks everyone for listening. We appreciate you as always and stay tuned for more next week. Later. Later. Later.
