I've got a little bit of new equipment today sound wise so hopefully the sound is a little bit better. I'm still kind of fiddling around with it as I learn this process. But today's review is a doozy. A really enjoyable podcast for Joe Rogan on episode 1252, Dave Foley and Paul Greenberg. This one's really cool because Joe used to work with Dave Foley back in the news radio days and Dave

Foley is from before that kids in the hall which was an incredibly funny sketch, sketch show from the early 90s out of Canada and if you're not familiar with their work the kids in the whole definitely check it out Brain Candy, which I think to this day is still one of the most underrated, hilarious, comedy movies of all time. It's absolutely brilliant, it really is, and it's very funny, it's about a drug that they make that's like an antidepressant, but it eventually keeps everyone in this like happy daydream cycle and you just get stuck in it and it's very very funny. But anyway, let's start this review. Welcome to the Joe Rogan Experience Review! Where each week I review every single episode of the Joe Rogan Experience Review! Where each week I review every single episode of the Joe Rogan Experience. One more do you want?

So as I was saying, Dave and Joe are very good friends. They go way back to really the beginning of Joe's career. And you can tell throughout that conversation that Joe is very close. Well, it just has so much respect for Dave and they both of close, but don't get to hang out enough. And this, excuse me, was a really great opportunity for them to kind of catch up and get to know each other. Paul Greenberg, too, is a friend of days. I don't know if Joe knows him all that well, but he is a very funny guy. They're both really sweet dudes and they're actually starting a new podcast together called,

it's called Don't Say, and then that's it. So if you want to search for it, it just says don't say, but it actually was supposed to mean don't say cunt, which is quite funny, but I guess they kind of omitted that because that can cause some issues. So Joe even says at the beginning of this conversation or of this podcast that it took about an hour to get going, and it's true.

It's quite cool that Joe is perceptive of enough of the conversations. Being that he has so many and he's done this podcast so many times, I mean it really is, I mean it's his baby, he knows how it works and he knows when a conversation is picking up steam or not. I just like that he takes responsibility for it. Excuse me. I have a bit of a flammie thing, so I apologize for coughing that. But he knows it. You know, when he says, he kind of forewarns you. He's really not into wasting anyone's time.

It's almost like he's saying, yeah, you can just fast forward through the first hour if you want to. It's still good. The first hour is very funny. And these guys get off to a very silly start. Paul Greenberg especially loves to just interject with some funny author cuff statement. And at first I thought maybe he's trying too hard, just to be noticed and be a part of the conversation, but then he really started to add some funny stuff. and be a part of the conversation, but then he really started to add some funny stuff. They get into kind of like the ancient alien, ancient civilization stuff off the bat,

which is really cool. Dave Foley is a bit of a conspiracy theory dude. I think he's into UFOs. He's trying to peek Joe's curiosity again. So that's the second time this week. I mean, Dylan was doing it earlier on in the week Getting Joe back into conspiracy theories and you know after Joe recently had dinner with What's his name Van Van Eyckin

Van Daniken that's it. Sorry from chariot to the gods You know, I think Joe is like considering some more conspiracy very Types of ways of thinking. I don't know how good of an idea that is Falling down those rabbit holes, but it is kind of fun. You know, they talk about the mass extinction stuff the ice age stuff and really how kind of amazing it is that we know so little about and really how kind of amazing it is that we know so little about, you know, our origin or what's been happening on this planet for as smart as we think we are. It's like what happened, you know, 20,000 years ago or 50,000. And how small did the human race get down to? And it's really kind of crazy to think of that happening. They talk a little bit about the possibility of alien life, right, being out there.

And one cool thing that Paul Greenberg says is he went to watch Carl Sagan, I think in college when he was a lot younger. And no, no, no, wait, Carl Sagan, he must have been way younger than even that. I don't know But anyway, he saw car say again when he was younger and car say and did this equation on the board the kind of I think it was called like the Fermi paradox or something Anyway, it's like the the chances of Alien life existing so it just like spreads it all out over all these different factors and then it's like this is unlikely, that is unlikely and then maybe only 1% of these planets have a planet

and then only 1% of them actually have the possibility of having life and blah, blah, blah, blah. It goes on so long that it's like infotessimally small To where the chances of alien life are so unlikely and and that's why it explains that we haven't seen them So it kind of goes over that whole thing, but saying that I mean you have to look at for one We didn't know about all these exoplanets all these planets that are very similar to earth now, right? So that's something that we're finding a lot of. And then also, it's like, okay, back in the day and Joe and Dave Foley talk about this, it's like, well, they also used to not

think bacteria was real. And the few people that did and tried to kind of explain germ theory were left out of the building. So who knows, maybe the crazy people of today make more sense in the future. It's hard to know, but yeah, what do you guys think? Do you guys believe in UFOs? Do you think that they're out there? I mean, in the sense of all the weird shit that we see and I kind of wonder to about Rogan's audience, especially with with Eddie Bravo coming on as much as he does, you know, is it like a conspiracy theory audience in a way? Are you a bit of a conspiracy theorist person? Then they talk a little bit about those people that debunk him, right? The skeptics, but the problem with them and Joe points out in this conversation skeptics get stuck in their own way as well They aren't that objective

So in the same way, it's a bit of an issue because You know, they get they have their point of view just like the UFO people or the big-foot people have theirs And then there's very little flexibility on each end. You know, people are really digging their heels in. They're not super into the idea of giving ground to the other argument. So it doesn't create a very good conversation between the two. Now, I don't know what you take on this.

Some of the bits of this conversation that I really wanted to get into was Dave Foley's struggle with addiction and alcoholism. Joe is alluded to a friend of his that had to pay a lot of money through the voice and also you know it's had some real bad drinking problems. And I'm not saying that I thought it was Dave Foley or maybe Joe has kind of mentioned that it is but I've definitely had a feeling that Dave Foley has been somebody in Joe's life that he does refer to for different things but just doesn't say it by name. So when he got into talking about how Dave it was on anti-depressants for a very long time and now he's getting off them and it was an interesting story actually

he said he got a head injury so when you listen to the podcast you hear it. So I guess somehow this head injury had wasn't all bad in some way because it kind of kicked his depression as far as he could tell.'t all bad in some way because it kind of kicked his depression as far as he could tell. So he's thinking of coming off it. For a long time he was in a lot of pain. He had other ailments and some left arm issue that was really hurting him, taking tons of ibuprofen and Advil. Basically it's the same drug, but tons of that to kind of cure that pain and none of it was helping until he started using CBD.

And I wonder, any of you lot out there in a lot of pain and taking tons of ibuprofen to calm it down, it's an immediate solution. And at times it does work, you know, I had a pretty bad headache the other day and I really don't like taking Advil. I've just heard so many bad things, but sometimes you get a headache and you just like, fuck this, I'm not putting up with this all day and you'll take one.

But to hear that people are taking these things every day for all different types of chronic pain and the worst part that it's not even helping after a while, it's sad. It's really sad to hear it. And people do get stuck in those loops So if you are stuck in that loop consider CBD, you know, it's non-psychoactive You know, you're not smoking weed or doing drugs in that sense. Obviously it's a drug, but you're not you're not

Trying to get in an altered state. He just taken some pain away and hopefully taking away some of the Advil and I'd be profan stuff going on then They had to talk about particularly important issue the recent loss of a friend of Joe's Brody Stevens who for those either don't know was a comedian and who for those of you that don't know who is a comedian and supposedly really great guy always at the comedy store he was in the hangover movie and just a good friend and mentor

to a lot of the up and coming comedians especially at the comedy store Tony Hinchcliffe has a lot of good things to say about him and Joe and really all the guys and and he committed suicide last weeks are very sad and They talk a little bit about that the struggle that people have and everyone loved them You know everyone was a huge fan here's I was actually up at the the comedy store yesterday and you could hear people talking about it quite quietly, not to make a big deal about it,

but just saying how sad it is and they're all trying to work through it. But one important aspect there, Joe talks about is, yeah, he had all the love. People loved him a lot, but maybe he didn't love himself and Joe's even said that he doesn't remember him having someone very special, like someone he didn't love himself and Joe even said that he doesn't remember him having someone very special, like someone he was with and you know, someone he was dating

and in love with. So maybe that was a big part of what was missing for him, but all of the situation, very sad, my heart goes out to his family and everybody affected by it. But anyway, yeah, kind of ending on a depressive one there. But it's just that continued conversation that people out there are sad, people out there are struggling. And it's important to pick the healthy things in your life and know whether I need to be working out or do I do jujitsu or do I read more or do I write more or do I get a new job that doesn't suck I mean this is the importance of this podcast not mine. I mean Joe's you know, I'm just reiterating it Whatever I hear and whatever I get from it just because it helps me you know

It helps me stay motivated and positive and focused and I have a good time doing it So hopefully you guys don't get too bored But anyway check out their new podcast, if you can. Again, it's called Don't Say and Cunt. And those guys both Dave and Paul are very funny, and I really enjoyed the conversation. Thanks a lot for listening. I hope the new sound setup isn't too shitty. I'll keep working on it, but I appreciate you guys' peace. pero, ¡que te agradezco a ustedes! y de las playas de gran canaria con lo pesán.
