Hey guys and welcome to another episode of the Joe Rogan Experience Review. It's an exciting time to be podcasting. So everyone knows Tim Dillon, stand-up comedian, host of the Tim Dillon show, which is absolutely hilarious most of the time. Does he have a new special? I'm your mother. Yeah, he does. Yeah, the mothership. It's on Netflix.

I watched it. It was pretty good. Nice. It came out a few months ago. nice yeah he's he's a great comedian i love to see him live one day yeah what do you have going on brandon you're you're doing some comedy right uh the 20th of this month i will be at the salem comedy festival so check me out there i'll be doing stand-up comedy i am a comedian i've been on kill tony i've lived in austin i've been to l a i'm a i'm a boston comic so uh check me

out in salem it'll be a fun time if you're wondering you know i i i i've lived in austin i've been to lincoln i'm I guess I am the Antichrist. I am what Peter Thiel is talking about. Oh, in his four-part episode. Yeah, dude. Real quick, Brandon. So it's Ted talk about me. It's Brandon Baddick.

How would they find you for, they just look up the festival and figure out what shows you're on? You can look up the Salem Comedy Festival or just like follow me on Instagram at Brandon Baddick, B-A-T-T-I-C and you'll get all the information. There we go. If you're over there. It'll be a fun time. We can share a beer, a joint, you know, a sacrifice, we'll sacrifice to go together.

But all right, let's talk about some of the reception this episode got because, you know, Joe has been a bit of a controversial figure. We're seeing some fans begin to push back and a lot of people are embracing him at the same time. So I want to talk about both the positives and negatives of this episode in terms of the reception. So I found that everyone on YouTube and Spotify absolutely fucking loved this. I believe the top comment on YouTube was someone being like, this is my Super Bowl, which I feel like maybe touch grass, you know, because if this is the pinnacle of your year,

but I'll be honest, it was a great episode. I really enjoyed it. And everyone seemed to do it to enjoy it as well. a lot of people also really enjoyed Joe starting to push back on a lot of these tech guys, on a lot of the Peter Thiel stuff, and like acknowledging that billionaires could be using his platform, you know, to gain trust in people. And he's starting to realize that through Tim Dillon. And it's what a lot of people are pointing out and they're really liking it.

Now, when I'm talking about the negatives here, it's really just. coming from, you know, some haters, but it's really the Reddit. The Reddit is just a cesspool of fucking hate. And this is like in every community, like kill Tony also. I'm not sure if you've been on that Reddit, but it's like Jesus Christ. It's brutal. But a lot of the problems people had with this episode is that people felt like Tim was just agreeing with Joe before Joe even finished making his point. Tim also seemed to repeat a lot of Joe's points back to.

his face, which to be fair is just Tim's way of like acknowledging that he's paying attention. It's something I've noticed in a lot of Tim's appearances and just like podcast in general. Well, a lot of what he does because he has such an interesting way of like making a point and then making something silly that he take something that is said to him and do his attempt of making it hilarious. Right. That's kind of a lot of what Tim does when he's talking with people, which is, you know, I think why he's so good at just ranting on his own as well because then it's his points and he makes them ridiculous. But it's why it also works for him to have the conversations as well.

Yeah, exactly. I agree 100%. But I think the biggest issue was a lot of people who were clowning on Joe for the whole Tim Waltz thing. which that AI video of him wearing the fuck Trump shirt and he's like slapping it his like ass dude if he did that like it would be on the news it would be like he would he would be disowned by the entire administration yeah yeah i was kind of surprised that joe fell for that one but i you know you're getting so much information all the time and you you know he has to make 15 hours of content a week on podcasts.

It's like someone sends you something. It's like he cannot be just going through it all. And I guess you could say he makes enough money. He could have a team of like fact checkers and researchers. But it would change the show so much. It would be dog shit. He doesn't want to run a new show, you know. Exactly.

He says, you know, the reason why he knows all this information is because it's his job. He's either at the mothership doing stand up or he's just sitting down and like really just taking in information. And if you're alive right now, you know how much information there is in every act like in government and politics alone. It's if you were to just focus on that, it's still extremely overwhelming. Oh yeah. Let alone, you know, scientific discoveries. It's a lot. It's a lot.

And with the amount of guests he has coming from all these different specialties, it makes sense why maybe there is some misinformation that slips through the cracks. But the issue that a lot of people did have is the fact that, you know, Jamie's like, yeah, that's not, that's not real. And he's like, yes, it is. Fuck it. It's real. Whatever.

Yeah. And I can see why people are upset with that. But it's, it's like, it's just, it's whatever. Tim Walts just. slapping his ass with the fuck Trump shirt. People aren't going to believe that shit. It looked pretty good. I don't give a shit.

AI's getting good. It is pretty good. It's a hilarious fucking video. It's such a funny video. I wish it was real too. Yeah. It does seem like something he would do. Unru.

What a packed episode this was, man. Yeah, yeah. What do you want to start with? The Hitler's alleged escape? Should we work our way backwards? we could do that. Yeah, that was... We can go any order you want.

But that one... So that's what they pretty much ended with the whole Hitler escaping to Argentina. Adam, do you believe that Hitler escaped and went to Argentina?

No. But then I don't know fucking the first thing about shit. I mean, I would imagine that he would have had a plan to get the fuck out of there, right? It's like he gets all his closest people and, you know, his new wife, and then just burns a bunch of people in a bunker and leaves some, I don't know, homeless guy or a prisoner that was about his height

and then has a freaking boat somewhere and fucks off. It's like, it doesn't seem out of the realm of possibility that he had some sort of plan. to get out of there. I just don't know if he could lay low enough. I mean, he would have pissed off the whole world at that point. It's like, unless there's some agreement with everyone,

like where the leaders just get to kind of do a thing. And they're like, all right, well, just make sure he doesn't have another army. But I can't imagine that that would make sense. It is a fun thing to do that. think about though. It really is getting, imagine getting a taste of that drug of like potentially ruling

the world and now you're living in like a hut in Argentina. Like you can't come down from that. Yeah. There's not enough drugs in the world to calm you down from that. I've seen a lot of people making that claim of like Hitler was too much of a egomaniac

megalomaniac to not plan his escape. Like there's no way. But I can argue the same thing on why he won it. He was too much of a egomaniac, megalomaniac to be like, oh, lose. Are you kidding me? We're going to win easy. I'm Hitler. This is Nazi Germany. We're going to rule the world. There's no need to have an escape plan. So I feel like there are both sides of the argument. But it's just, it's tough because there's so many breadcrumbs. You know, there's so many the bodies. I'm not sure if you, you know, in 2009 U.S. researchers were presented with a jaw fragment of Hitler's skull. And, or just like a jaw fragment. Right. And it was identified that it was a woman.

So it wasn't even Hitler. But we, U.S., apparently the U.S. has never had access to what I know of Hitler's, like jawbone? Because that's the only way we know he died. Right. Because the Russians, the Russians got there first, right? They were the ones storming into Berlin. Yeah, the Soviets. Yep. And the only reason

we knew he died was because there was a jaw left and the dental records matched. And even Hitler's dentist were like, yeah, that's him. He had very unique, you know, dental records. His teeth were very fucked up like the rest of them.

But, but, But at the same time, you can look at that and be like, well, maybe his dentist were lying. Maybe there was a stand-in. Maybe the dental records were fake. Maybe he planned this really far in advance. It's a lot of planning for someone who's determined that they're going to rule the world. That's true. It's a lot of planning for someone's like, oh, we got this in the bag, but we got to spend a lot of time like planning.

Yeah, because I feel like he would have got to Argentina. He'd have some money, some gold, some whatever he has, just to like live a dope life, set up a bit of a compound. And then all of a sudden, he'd be right at it again, doing his yag and splagen splagen sphens bled and, you know, just yelling at the rooftops. And unless he is like, all right, well, clearly I have to shave this mustache. That's rule number one. First thing you got to do. Grow my hair out long. You know, there's no plastic surgery back then,

so we can't really change the way it looks. You can't pull a Kelly Osborne. And people, oh, she bless her. They are some good doctors out there these days. Yeah. Wow. She went from Shane Gillis to freaking a Kardashian. I don't know how that happens.

But yeah, you get to Argentina, and then it's like, I guess if he's that. disciplined, he could just have the mindset. And he's like, yeah, I'm just like a retired German, you know, banana farmer or whatever they do out there. He's like, maybe that's it. But does not seem to line up. And I would imagine the Americans, the Russians, everyone were on to him.

If anything was not the way that they said it went, it's that the Russians actually got him and took him. yeah it's even Stalin told officials that there is a chance that Hitler escaped wow like in the beginning he's on record saying that but I do believe that the

the Soviets planned for Hitler's escape more than Hitler did really I think so because it's like the airspace was totally dominated by Soviets there's no way he could have like escaped a plane you know there was a pilot on record saying, yeah, I flew Hitler back, but it turned out to be bullshit.

There's no way they're just going to let, like, runways, airports just like be, like, you know. Open. Like, just be open. You know, they were, they were, they probably had that fucking shit on, on lockdown. Just like a horse and caught. He's just like in the hay in the back, like old school escape. Assassin. Yeah, he's like, he's like holding on to the, the, the underneath.

of like a truck or something. He's Indiana Jonesing it out of there. Like, ah, I'll catch you, bitches. Yeah, or he did a whole stormtrooper thing where you like swap the outfits. That's a good move. And you pretend you're a Soviet. That is positive. I don't know.

It's a very noticeable look Hitler had. Well, but it's undeniable that they did after the war have this like unusually large German kind of groups. in towns in Argentina for whatever reason. People escape there. It's like you would have thought a few of them would have been like, he's over there. That's him. Yeah.

And there are people who like have said that in Argentina. And it is a fact that like Nazis escape there. Right. It's a fact. There's people who have said, yeah, Hitler had grandchildren at Argentina. There were pictures of him. There was this whole show called like hunting Hitler or finding Hitler. Yeah.

Where it was on the history channel. And it was just all this bullshit where it's like, oh, we got a picture of them. Cut to commercial, you know. And it was like all this stuff. And then it's like not real. And it's all bullshit. No children have come out. And we're like, yeah, we're, we're, we're, this is, this is little Hitler.

And I'm a big Hitler. you know there's none of that shit um but i understand why there would be none of that shit like if i was hitler's kid i'm not making a fucking instagram account no like i'm not i'm not putting myself out you know how many people would want to kill me you'd be bad it'd be bad you would want to stay like you know evil by association imagine imagine imagine how much of a nightmare that would be if like your great grandfather did try to kill half the world world. Then you're like, guys, guys, I'm just a plumber. I didn't ask for this. I feel terrible. I'm just a crypto guy. You know, fucking leave me alone. Kill that guy. Yeah, that's arguably worse.

But I don't know, man. It's just, it's, I think he's dead. There was, there even in the jaw that you well, he's definitely dead now. He'd be like 150 years old. People were saying that. You know, the people who believe he escaped believe that he died in 1965. That's like the date everyone's saying that he like officially died. But I don't fucking think so there was even cyanide like you can for the the cyanide capsule he took. You can see the damage in his tooth when he bit it. Ooh. Yeah, it's there's no fucking way.

I thought he shot himself. No? He did cyanide. He did both. Yeah. Oh, he wanted to really. made sure. Allegedly, you know, he wanted, yeah, he was, uh, he wanted to be extra dead. There's no way he's,

just dead plus, please. Yes. Yeah. I don't know, dude. I look, these, these conspiracies are fun. Um, it, and I don't mean fun, like, it's fun to think that he survived. I don't, obviously that would suck. But it's fun to just kind of play with like, what do we really know?

What are we really told? We know for sure we're not really told the. whole truth and nothing but the truth. We get fed, whatever somebody wants us to think. I would like to believe they keep it close to what the reality is, but it's very curated. It's more of like people love finding the answers of things, you know. And if you believe that Hitler survived, the personal power that must have of being like, these people have no fucking clue.

I know the true history. you know, that I must feel powerful. Oh, yeah, yeah. Well, that's why people like conspiracies, dude. I mean, I remember back in COVID, I lived in Nashville and, you know, Southern. And the people that were like into QAnon. And they would look at other people that weren't like you are, like, you're not only beneath me, but you haven't done your research.

You're dumb. You're lost. And then I remember talking to this one lady. and she was so sure about all that. And I go, okay. And I go, how do you know? And there was always someone they knew that once was in the military

and had high clearance and also would know that these things are true, right? And I go, well, who do you know? And they're like, oh, this guy. So it's like this old guy shows up at the bar that this lady knew. And he, yeah, once was in the military. He was an officer.

And I'm like, okay, and I'm talking to him about it. And then it just turns out, everything he knows was from fucking 4chan or Twitter anyway. And I'm like, well, why? He's like a Reddit mod. Yeah, I was like, why would, he hadn't been in the military for like 40 years. So even though he once had clearance, it doesn't mean anything. Nobody's giving him an inside scoop.

And I was like, oh, all of this is bullshit. You guys are just loving the fact that you can, I don't know, try to convince other people that you knows something that no one else knows. Dude, it's so funny you bring that up because I'm into a lot of alien conspiracies, and that's so many of them. They're like, dude, my, uh, my grandfather in the, in the 60s worked for the Pentagon and he was a janitor and he said that an alien blew him behind a McDonald's. It's, it's fact.

It's fact at this point. He told me he's fact. It's like bullshit. He's just like, all right, dude. some of these stories it's like it's like you work the front desk and you said that you know where we're you know back engineering technology to make fuck velcro you know yeah dildos that don't need batteries it's it's like crazy shit it's people who like are not qualified saying that they know everything right just because they like you know uh served

in the military for like two years or something. You would just imagine though. It's like imagine if there was a completely different reality. Like you and I knew it. We saw it and it was like very clear to us. The question always is how would you not be able to explain it and show other people? It just seems like that would be possible. You're like, look at that.

It's like that. There is that we talked about this a few episodes ago, but there was that that Roswell incident in Brazil where there was like an alien and shit and all these kids saw it and shit. Oh yeah. And there was a whole like documentary about it. And like it was just these adults been like, yeah, man, I was a kid. I saw a fucking alien. I don't tell anybody, you know, because it's like how do you like how do you process that?

And it's like if I told you, you know, if I got on the phone with you and I was like, Adam, like you won't fucking believe this shit. I saw an alien the other day, you know. It was crazy. You would be like, yeah, Brandon, cool, cool. But you would probably be thinking, damn, he's taking too much ass. He needs to fucking stop watching the Eddie Bravo episodes and just chill the fuck out. I'm like, I got to get rid of my producer, dude. He's losing it. This guy's losing it. Yeah. He's been listening to too much, Rogan. I need to give him a vacation. Exactly. Yeah. So it's like, it's like, you know, that's what's the craziest aspect about this.

is like the people who actually see this shit probably don't say shit about it. Because it's like, why would you want to, a lot of these people didn't ask to see this. Dude, I wouldn't, I wouldn't live their whole life as like this conspiracy crazy guy. I wouldn't give a fuck, dude. If I saw what I thought was a UFO, then hopefully everyone just accepts me for who I am. And, you know, maybe they call me a bit crazy. but I'm telling people exactly what I just saw. I would immediately.

Alien Adam. I would just be like, look, I saw that, this happened. That was weird. And I don't know, make of it what you won't want to. But, um, yeah, I saw something come out of a guy's chest. I fucking door dash to handle my drink. I blacked out. It's like, I don't know, man.

Yeah. You do have to question it. you go into something either on some substance or you're hammered. It's reasonable to like to ask yourself, did I really? But if I'm like completely sober and it's, you know, a Thursday night and I'm driving home and something zips right in front next to my car and hovers and then fucks off, it's like, I'm not keeping that shit secret. Even if people get mad at me.

I'll be like, I don't know. I'm not a liar. I don't really know what it was, but that was weird. yeah it's the people who have all those abduction stories and they're like i don't want to believe it i think it's a dream but why do i have this scar you know on my side now yeah you know it's crazy some of that shit is like really fucking creepy and crazy that's like when it's the eyewitnesses who are like afraid and are just like who have no fucking running in any game right and they were like bags to come on and talk about this thing and they're like,

all right, I'll just talk about it for a little bit. That's when it's like, I'll pay attention, you know. Yeah, I felt like Bob Lazar was a bit like that. I mean, you know, supposedly, Rogan took him to dinner. I mean, supposedly, it happened. I believe Rogan.

Like, they went to dinner the night before. I think Lex was there possibly. And he was very nervous. And he didn't like the idea of doing this. He was worried for his life. And he was like, I don't know if this is a good move. we could pull out. Like the feeling Rogan got is like he was,

it was mostly Rogan trying to get him on more than anything else. And, you know, came on, did his thing. There were some things he still didn't tell Rogan on the air because he was like, this could get me in real trouble. But he told him privately and Rogan's never told us. So I get it. You know? But also, Rogan, damn it.

Write a book. write a book at the end of your life and get those little you know snippets out but do one final like on your deathbed do one final podcast and just tell us everything you were told off of her

oh yeah you know by the mushroom guy by UFO experts by people in government just one final send off I can't from the hospital if if all these UAP things are happening in a real

there is is zero chance. Elon doesn't know every fucking thing you can imagine about it. I mean, especially with all his satellites. He's like scanning the whole earth

all the time. You can use literally Wi-Fi to scan a room and, and like they use AI, and it like builds an image of where everyone is in the room by just reading the Wi-Fi, right?

So that's a technology. So if he has, you know, 4,000 satellites, around the planet, scanning everything all the time. And he also has one of the most powerful AI systems. He knows if these things are flying around, where they're coming from, something. And to think that him and Rogan haven't had a whiskey on a back porch somewhere,

you know, looking over a river in Austin and chatted about it a bit, I'm like zero fucking chance. Those guys are tight, dude. Yeah. Yeah. Like, imagine you find out aliens are real, like, in an ice bath. That'd be fucking insane. So speaking of, speaking of Elon, should we get into Peter Thiel?

Yeah, let's go. That was a whole chunk of the episode. And I just want to say that I'm surprised how much pushback there was on Palantir and Peter Teal because of how close Peter Teal is with Joe and I think is very rooted in Joe's podcast

but I'd love to hear what you think about it and just like generally how you feel about Peter Teal as well as Joe's connection with him it sounds like a nerd love to like shove him in a locker or some bullshit.

I'm just saying you do a full part freaking, you know, TED talk on the Antichrist. It's like, what? And then hasn't he, wasn't he the guy that started PayPal with Elon? Yes. And he was the one that was like,

I don't know if it was the Google guy or him. I don't want to put words in his mouth. But didn't he say that he's like not pro human? He's like pro something else. Or was that? You are 100% talking about, Peter Thiel, the transhumanism shit. Oh, there we go. Yeah, yeah. Where Peter Thiel... I mean, look, these billionaires are all kind of odd, but he seems like a really odd one. Dude, the iceberg

with him is just, it's, it runs so deep. He's saying, you know, it's funny because all these people were usually talking about on the podcast are very like, you know, they're not pro trans in any way. Peter Thiel, his whole opinion is that, you know, trans people aren't going far, further, you know, far enough. They should be going further. Go further. He wants to, he wants to, he wants to replace body parts. He wants to, he wants to, um, be able to get like organs that are allegedly he's, he's putting 18 year old blood into him. He's, uh, he's, uh, he's buying pints of blood from teenagers. It's, it's, it's, it's, there's some crazy shit when it comes to Peter Thiel.

It's really unsettling. The fact that when you rearrange Peter Thiel, the letters, it spells out the lizard. Now, I know this is the podcast for conspiracy theories. So do whatever you want with that information. But this dude, Palantir, which is his company, has ties to the CIA, ICE, the NSA, and get this, the IDF. And the DMV. Yeah.

And it makes me want to ingest THC. Well, I mean, you know, just like Tim was saying, this kind of does sound like the beginning of the social credit school. I mean, they're already kind of doing that. It's like if you spoke out about Israel and you're traveling to the U.S. on a visa or whatever, they will look through your social media and ban you. And it's like, okay, guys, bit of a slippery slope here, I think. Like, once they have these systems that are like, what, writing algorithms about you in every way, how you shop, what you eat, what you wear, where you go, what you're doing, what you think, who you hang out with, what those people that you hang out with, criminal records are like, they're like, oh, he's a C plus for criminal activity. even though we haven't pinned him,

but he's around people in that world, which means occasionally you do a bit of blow because you just, you know, probably a stand-up comedian in L.A. And, you know, it's like by association, they like put you in this box.

And I'm not saying these algorithms aren't accurate for whatever reason, but who is governing them? That's where it gets scary. It's like, tow the line or we put you in this box. Yeah. Yeah, and it's so scary how short of a leash Peter Thiel has on a lot of these people.

Elon Musk can thank Peter Thiel for his whole career. When Musk needed the money, Peter Thiel was his first investor, you know, was like, you know, is the reason Space X exists. JD Vance he pretty much was able to to make J.D. Vance, the vice president, funded his whole campaign. Really? Yes. It's really scary

how many ties he has to the U.S. government. And, well, now Israel, you know, and ICE, he's getting people deported. There is rumors that, you know, there's all these things. like due process and everything when it comes to ice, which is a whole subject.

But the whole excuse, if anyone says any bullshit about Israel, that fuck it, just deport them. It's really scary what Palantir is capable of and where it could bring this country going forward, as well as just the ties that he has to Rogan himself. Rogan was saying they've gone to dinners or the lunches and everything.

a lot of Rogan's guests have said that yeah my good friend Peter Thiel yeah I used to work for Peter Thiel it's like oh that's a little suspicious you know that we're now in this like era of the podcast we're getting all these tech guys yeah you know also last thing before I uh you know and then because this is turned into a rant here but I like he'll owns part of Spotify is that right so yes So how rich is it? He either owns or was like a major investor. Is he like, he's not like Elon money though, right? He's like tens of billions. Where's he on the list of money? I'm pretty sure he's, he's a lot. He's like Elon looks up to him.

I'm pretty sure he has a lot more money than, yeah. He, I'm pretty confident. I'll have to look into it after, but I'm pretty confident he has a lot more wealth than Elon, especially now with the whole. Wait, he has more. money than, no, Elon's still rich as fuck, dude. I was looking at my Tesla stocks today. And I don't have to look into it.

I don't have much, but it's up like 12, 14%. And I didn't sell the whole time. He was like doing Doge and all the rest of it. And everyone was hating on Tesla and burning the things. I mean, yeah, it went, it went down then. But it's fine. He's rich. Fuck, dude. He's like 400 billion

still. Let's look up. Yeah, he's probably doing a lot better. I don't know what I just assume knowing all this shit. It's like when you have ties like when your company is ties to like 20, 25 billion he's worth. All right. So like a fucking fraction of Elon

then. But still a lot of money. Yeah. You know, and he's got his hands in, you know, a lot of pies. Arguably has like unlimited funding by the government. Right. So it's, it's weird. So what are they trying to do with this Palantia thing?

What's like the goal that? They just want to be at a track everybody? For us to have safety. Yeah, safety. You know, it's the same thing with the Patriot Act. That's what it kind of reminds me of like it's going to get implemented through like a Trojan horse. And I think that is what ICE is right now. So what it's going to be, it's a database of,

You know, so if I was to look you up, it'd have your medical records. It'd have your criminal history, your employment, right? Like everything. Everything about you. Which is kind of fucking terrifying. Yeah. Yeah, especially if you can't dispute things because they could just add stuff to that list. You know what I mean?

Yeah. It's like people whose credit gets fucked because somebody buys a boat using their social security and then just leaves the debt. with them. It's like great. Now I have to work with Expedia or whatever for for four years to get that off. I mean, if we're talking about real profiles, they can just add anything they want to somebody. It's really frightening, man. And yeah, I think Peter Thiel is like I feel like I shouldn't even be talking about it on the, you know, I'm going to, I'm going to be gone next episode or something.

Well, if anything, I want to make something clear. I support Peter Thiel, and it's definitely Brandon that does not. So if I could just make that. Listen, man, I support lizard people, you know, eat as many mealworms as you need to. I don't know, man. It's just, it's a, it's a mess. It's a big mess. And yeah, how do you feel about Peter Thiel's connection with Rogan, though?

because they were talking about that a little bit, how Rogan was going to a few lunches, Peter Thiel, a few dinners. Well, you know, he's interested. He was on the podcast. He's interested in billionaires. You know, he has him in his circle. I mean, probably not a bad move

if you're trying to, like, get into that world, right? You've got to have some allies. And does it mean because you're in the position of Rogan that everyone you go to dinner with means that's your best friend or is it just like oh this would be interesting let's go meet that person I mean I think about it

I live in Bozeman Montana it's a small place I don't know who the mayor is I don't know I've never met like any of the local senators or whatever but if I was in a position where I could yeah I'd go to dinner with them and who knows what kind of wacky individuals these guys might be or gals

it's like maybe they're all fine but if you get like that open access, I mean, don't get me wrong. If you're on Epstein's plane 47 times, something's going on. But if you've hung out with a couple of these people for dinner a few times, yeah, I don't know. I don't know what that says. But it's kind of a surprising. I mean, I don't think that the overall conversations about Peter on Rogan have been all that positive.

I think they kind of point to him being a bit, you know, of an odd ball, a bit of a weirder. Especially nowadays, for sure. Yeah, it's like seeing this pushback is really interesting. And even like Tim Dillon was saying that it's like, yeah, I don't go to any of his dinners because I, it's like, you know, he's like, I'm a comic. I can't become friends with this guy and then bash him the next day on my podcast. Right. You know, it's like having that separation. But he kind of did that when he went to dinner with JD Van.

which was hilarious. Yeah. He goes to dinner with JD. He's hammering him about the fucking Epstein list. J.D. doesn't say anything. Doesn't get in. And then the next day, Tim is just smashing it on his podcast.

So I don't know, man. I guess in a weird way, it's like the best time for jesters ever because they have podcasts now. And the kings are the billionaires. And these billionaires are coming to these podcasters to have discussions

or not just billionaires but the politicians like you know the director of the FBI the current president JD they know that's where you got to go I mean fucking Trump went to speak to Theo knowing full well

that this is a good move because of the reach that this jester has and I used to sit chatting with Theo at the comedy store. I mean, normal guy that is in that position, just trying to just be the jesters that they are.

And they are noticing, and Rogam is the first, but they're noticing that they need to dance around this carefully. Because you can get far enough out there to the point that the king kills the jester. And I'm not tying that in with Charlie, Kirk, but, you know, he just got zapped for speaking his way. And there's a reason Rogan has a lot of fucking security, right? Yeah. And that's the whole thing that when we talk about this whole

Charlie Kirk thing, like Rogan's whole role in this because he's also, you know, someone who debates, he's also a right political figure. You know, he got Trump elected. Basically. I believe. Yeah, basically. So it's like it makes sense he would also have a target on his head. Yeah, it's a dangerous time, especially if you're like a comedian or if you're an influencer and you're trying to like ride a political wave. It's fucking lawless.

Which is interesting because you could be like as wacky and on the left as you want. And I don't think that you have to start worrying about people trying to kill you. Which is interesting. because the Republicans have all the guns. So why is it that way around? Why is it when you get a little bit Republican, or maybe a lot, then all of a sudden you need a shitload of security?

It's fucking insane. It really is insane. It does. Because it's the people who are against guns are the ones, you know. But I don't know. Like when it comes to this Charlie Kirk thing, Yeah, we don't know who the person is. Yeah.

We don't know. But in general, there's been like, there's, people are psychos on both sides for sure. Oh, for sure. No doubt. There are, and it's, it's a mess. It's a humanity problem, you know, it's a culture problem. I feel like it's not a this side versus that side. No.

That's a, we'll get into that for sure. I want to kind of finish up with, because we getting close to the end. I mean, there's a million things in this, but... They're so good. I want to shit on Gavin Newsom for a little bit, because it's one of my favorite things to do. He is a nerd, and I don't trust him, and I think he's an idiot.

Well, he's probably not an idiot, but he fucks a lot of stuff up in California, and I don't trust him. And, yeah, just the fact that, like, there's a good chance he's going to try and run. and I'm almost excited for it just to watch how he crashes and burns. There's no fucking way that people are going to vote him in.

Do you think? I see him as a running candidate and I agree with Tim where I think he's a lobbyist dream. Oh, yeah. I see him as any kind of money offered to him. He will sway whatever way. as Tim called him an empty suit.

I see that 100%. And that's why I'm afraid he's going to run. Yep. I think he's terrible. I do. I think he sucks at running California. Dude, it was like,

it was like five months ago or something, not even that long. He was like, oh, California is in a surplus. We have a hundred billion extra dollars. No one's ever done that. It's all the greatest things. Unbelievable.

We're the best. And then there's like this accounting era. And they're actually like $68 billion in the hole. And I'm like, dude, don't let this guy run the country. Please. You have to move the period that way, Gavin. Yeah. What did he have is abacus upside down?

Like who's doing, who's adding this shit up? That sounds like a big problem. Something something that I think would be, you know, that's talking. about and there was so much just too much to cover yeah for the time we have but like they also really do talk about the future of america like even in the beginning of the podcast they're talking about the future of humanity where it's like are we going to merge with machines are we going to start replacing organs which is the whole how they got into the whole peter teal thing in the first place but they're kind of talking about how they kind of do believe that america is

doomed yeah i I mean, a lot of people are starting to think that way. And, you know, I would say take a step back from that because I'm sure that every generation has these moments. Once you get to a certain age, you know, it's not like everyone gets political. But in your 20s, you don't give too much of a fuck about most of the stuff. I mean, I guess at the end of high school, I had like a revved up political thing that I was doing. And then it kind of died away and I didn't really care for a while because life is hard. I was becoming 30 and I had to be like, what, what am I doing?

Then you circle back, right? As soon as like the vice president's younger than me now, I'm like, oh, I should pay attention. Hold on. And you just get rope back into this like propaganda, freaking swirl washing machine of nonsense. And it does. It takes you on a journey of paranoia. Not good. I don't think it's good for your mental health.

I'm not saying ignorance is bliss, but it's, it can be. Yeah, there's a lot of truth in that statement, especially today with even that whole Palantir conversation we had is like, fuck that. But yeah, man, like, it's fucking rough. Listen, if it 20 years, I'm on a motorcycle in the desert with a shotgun with a gimp on back you know fuck it i'm gonna i'm gonna ride this shit out if the country becomes dystopian and i'm fighting for oil i don't give a shit you know i love you're mad mad max in it 100% but i do find a little weird a little concerning no matter what side you're on with how much power that joe and

tim tim is getting pretty close to like actual power in the government which is fucking you know a cum pig like him having this power is insane. But, you know, for the two of them to be talking about, yeah, we're fucked, is a little concerning. Yeah. A little concerning with how much they're backing the current administration. Right. I mean, I don't know if it's changing. I think that after Epstein list bullshit, Rogan's like taking a bit of a step back. Tim, I don't know exactly where he's at. I think he's like a lifelong Republican period.

Like that's his thing. That's never changing. And, you know, overall, they're already both millionaires. I mean, what is Tim going to like Saudi and Qatar and a few other places and getting paid like 300 grand to do some stand up? which is amazing because that's like a Muslim country and you know I'm not saying that they I don't know if those countries specifically stone will throw gaze off the roof but they do he doesn't seem too worried about it it's like I guess they only throw some gays off the roof if you're a funny yeah I guess you got a pass I think I hope to God

I hope to God he doesn't go there and they throw him off a roof imagine if it's just a ploy to get him there and throw him off a roof. That would be that that would be one of the craziest ways for a comedian to die. Yeah. He did a festival.

They just trick him in there for 400 grand. And then they're like, nah, we're just going to catapult you off this roof actually. We don't care. If that happens, I'm getting the motorcycle McGimp. For me,

it's like it's over. We're going. We're going for it. Isn't it, isn't the festival on like, October 7th or something or six. I don't know. It's on a really funny date.

Look it up. That's an unfortunate date. I pretty sure it's on October 7th. Poetic. Look it up and we're end it. We're end it at that. I don't know my phone. It doesn't matter.

Look it up yourself, everybody. But yeah, I mean, Tim, he's a great guest. He's always funny. Funny-ass episode, too. Like a really funny episode. It was. And like you said, they covered so much. I mean, we couldn't even get through it all.

And definitely worth a listen. I mean, it's just entertaining stuff. But anyway, thank you, Brandon. This is great. And thank you everyone for listening. Check out the Patreon. And go visit Brandon when he's doing his comedy. And, you know, yell stuff at him.

Yeah. Just yell stuff. Yeah, yell stuff at him, you know, throws him holy water at him, you know. It won't help. Get ready for a new speech by Peter Thiel after my set. I love it. All right, guys. Antichrist is back.

Thank you so much. We'll talk to you guys next week. See ya.
