Hey guys and welcome to another JRE review. Today I, well first off actually, this week Alex Jones is back on Rogan and I'm about, I don't know about 30 minutes into listening to that episode. I'm telling you right now it's of that guy, but the last time Alex Jones was on for podcast 9-11, the conspiracy theory podcast, I think it was Joe Rogan's most downloaded podcast ever. So I'm very excited for it, and I cannot wait to finish that. But first, I want to do this review of podcast 1254 with Dr. Phil. Dr. Phil has been around forever, right? I want to do this review of podcast 1254 with Doctor Phil. Doctor Phil has been around forever, right? I actually didn't realize he wasn't a doctor of medicine, he's a doctor of psychology,

but I guess it makes sense for his show. And he seems like a really well-thought-out individual. I don't know, he was calm, he was calm. He Was collected with the way that he speaks. I mean obviously he's an adamant professional He's been on the air forever, but I really liked a lot of his breakdown and it was a really good Conversation to kind of get to know him a little bit better. So let's start the review So let's start the review. Welcome to the Joe Rogan Experience Review! Where each week I review every single episode of the Joe Rogan Experience.

One more do you want? So Doctor Phil has a couple of boys and one of them I believe is Somewhere around Joe's age. I'm not sure what Joe is good friends with him somehow. He didn't really explain the connection just that he knew him well and that's how he was able to connect this and get him on the show. But a big thing that's happening is that Doctor Phil is starting a podcast. So he's starting his own one called Fill in the Blank and you know kind of wants to push that. What's good about his dialogue in a lot of ways and I never really watched this show very much though obviously I've seen snippets

of it maybe sat through a bit of it. You know it's kind of one of those things where you'll be getting your tires changed at firestone or something and then for whatever reason that's on the television so you kind of sit there through it. That's that's the only place as I think I've ever really sat through a bit of an episode. And to me it just seemed like Jerry Springer with a doctor on it. I didn't really ever realize they were getting to the bottom of anything, but through this podcast, you hear kind of his process, right? And it's not even so much about helping the people that come on the show that day as much as helping people that are watching because they can see maybe some of their own actions or family's actions in the actions of the the crazy lunatic on the show. I mean one example that Joe brought up at the very beginning is the catch me out outside

girl. I don't know anything about this other than I have seen the giant building side billboard building size size billboard that they have, off of sunset boulevard in Hollywood, and it is monstrous. And I was like, who is that girl? And I was told it was the catch me outside girl, and she got famous for this catch phrase, and now makes millions of dollars selling makeup or being some sort of celebrity.

But anyway, so, you know, you probably know, but she started out on the Doctor Phil show just being a bit of a lunatic and said this kind of outburst and has gone on to do other things after a meme was made. But a point that he makes, and he has a good message for it, he's like, hopefully she finds a way and surrounds herself with good people and is able to get something positive out of this. But it's the fact that really when he's when he's discussing these issues, when people are on his show with problems and they're fighting with their mother, daughter, whatever, he's creating the dialogue, right?

So that when people are watching it, they're able to kind of reflect in their own life, see those problems and make changes. Mungi question to that was listening to Joe and Phil's conversation is how do you know that anything is really changing with people? You know, it's almost like a lot of times I feel like with people you can watch something. It could be exactly like you are. It could be staring you in the face with all the mistakes that you're making. And all you do is see their problem, their issue, and don't reflect it on

yourself at all. He just like, oh, yeah, well, those people have that issue because they're crazy. But you know, that wouldn't happen to me. And this isn't how my life is. So I don't know. I don't know how effective TV shows like that are. Do you know anybody that's been affected by someone like Dr. Phil or Dr. Oz or an Oprah and actually made really positive changes? I mean, they must do, right? Because they're popular. It's just not it's just not anything that really resonates with me. Some of the conversation I really appreciate it was when Dr. Phil was talking about changing behaviors and the patterns are very tough to break and this is obviously a dialogue that

Joe Rogan throws down a lot and really resonates when I'm listening to it. But the point that Dr. Phil was trying to make is really that in a sense you get what you do what you think you deserve Right, so if you think you came from a shitty background and everything in your future is gonna be shitty usually It's gonna lead that direction and it's actually being able to change that saying that Okay, this is where I came from but things will change I can do something better and it's about writing it down having a goal list like Joseph's that like make make a list of like things you

want to achieve or a future that you want to have and orient yourself so you can get there closer. He gives the example of something I guess Tony Robbins said about two boats and you'll hear it on the podcast, but he's just talking about you only have to change the direction of two boats traveling the same way, just a couple of degrees and over a long period of time those boats are now in completely different places and that's an important thing to remember. Even if you barely have any energy to make positive changes in your life, like let's say you're just exhausted, right? You go for a pain in the ass, maybe your wife is, maybe your kids, whatever. You just don't understand that you can barely pay your bills, your boss is just killing you. You don't have any time

to work out, you can barely have time to eat right? Well, okay. So that, that is what it is, and it's awful, and I'm sure you're really struggling with it, and I'm sorry if that's your situation. But then if you look at it like this, if you say, okay, I barely have 1% extra energy to put towards anything, because I'm so overwhelmed, overwhelmed. I think anyone could muster 1%. Just a little bit extra, even if it's just like start your day with 10 minutes of meditation and all the rest of your day is an absolute mess like it usually is, that 10 minutes will go a long way. That's your one degree of change and you stick at it and you'll find more room for little

bits of change here and there. Before you start to have a lot more room in your life, room in your head to get things done. These messages are important to hear. That's why I love listening to these podcasts and listening to these people talk that have done well and that have seen this over and over again. Like how many times do you think Dr. Phil has come up against this and had to think about it a lot. And he has a PhD in psychology, so he sees these behaviors kind of make themselves. And in a way, thank God these behaviors are consistent. You know, it would be an even far more confusing life if somebody could think

really terrible things about themselves, but somehow still be super successful. I mean, if it was like that, it would be all over the place. You wouldn't know what to aim for, but we know you want to aim for believing in yourself, being confident, working hard, not being afraid of failure, those sorts of things. So it's, it's the clear path. And I think the big issue a lot of time is where to start with the change and how much of a change you need to make. And it's just gradual. Just give people a little bit of a chance. They get into the opioid issue a little bit. I'm not going to cover that on here.

Listen to the podcast if you're affected by that or you're more interested, but you know, they're saying it's massively over-prescribed, which a lot of us know about. And then they kind of finish up with some understanding of like where kids are these days and how they're not really giving a chance to fail. A lot of times they're coddled and too protected and therefore once they come into the real world and then they're challenged because the real world will throw failure at you whether you've been protected from it or not. They don't have a chance, they're not ready for it. If you? So if you don't fail, you don't grow. It's a big message that they make and they make and it'll make you sensitive and very weak. So Dr. Phil says it's important to what he says, find your currency. Okay? What are you passionate

about? Have something to get you up in the morning. Find that reason. I try to monitor that in a lot of ways, especially if I'm off work and it's a weekday. If you find yourself just sitting in bed way too long, giving it an extra hour of just kind of surf in the web or watching YouTube videos, it tells me that I didn't plan that day properly, right? Or I'm not excited enough to get up and get some work done. So you kind of reassess, I like to give myself something exciting and fun to do in the

morning right away, it kind of gets me off to a good start. And you know, I think in a lot of ways, this is, that's a good way to find your passion and kind of go with it. But look, this podcast was and is an inspiring one. It's definitely worth listening to even if you're not a huge fan of Dr. Phil. I think you'll be surprised at how interesting he sounds and yeah, really check it out. Thanks a lot for listening guys and peace!
