Striving for mediocrity in a world of excellence, this is the Joe Rogan Experience. Hello and welcome to the Joe Rogan experience for Monday, the 31st of January, 2022. I'm Joe Rogan, and this is the real Joe Rogan experience, not some cheap knockoff done to boost our ratings by tricking Joe Rogan listeners into listening to our show. No. Yeah, so joining me today. is Joe Rogan. Hello. How are you going, Joe?

I'm great, Joe. It's lovely to be here today. And we've also got Joe Rogan. Hey, Joe. Yep. Hello. Sorry, not confusing. And also, sorry, what was your name?

I believe it was Joe. Joe Rogan, yes. Joe Rogan, yes, okay. That's right, because this is the Joe Rogan experience. Yeah. And it's not any other experience. No. It's definitely the American Joe Rogan experience.

So I should just explain the Joe Rogan experience podcast. which is this podcast. Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Has been in the news in the last few days because Neil Young came out against Spotify. Oh, I hate Neil Young. Yes, and pulled all of his music off Spotify

because they were running the Joe Rogan experience. They owned the Joe Rogan experience. And all the anti-Vex messages were coming out of the Joe Rogan experience. And he didn't believe in that, right? But today we're actually going to solve Spotify's problem for them. And keep Neil Young's music on the program? Yes, because as the official Joe Rogan Experience podcast, which is this podcast, we're going to announce our complete and utter support for vaccines.

Woo! Joe, are you sure that we're allowed to do that, Joe? Oh, yes. We can totally, well, I'm just a shoot from a hip sort of moron in his 50s. He's sort of bawling in an idiot. I can do whatever I like. I mean, we're just sitting here just like chatting shit. And we can chat whatever we want.

As a fellow, Joe, I completely agree. Yeah. Yeah. But the best thing about this is that Neil Young can put his songs back onto Spotify then. Dad's across the world will be so stoked. I don't know about you. But the only reason I subscribe to Spotify was for Neil Young's songs. Yeah.

Definitely. Yeah. Definitely. He's definitely the most current music act of the time at the moment. I mean, it was a sort of like, if Taylor Swift had said, oh, I'm going to remove my music, that would have been one thing. Neil Young, you can't take our Neil Young away from us. Well, this bits the alternative of somehow finding a copy of the Joe Rogan podcast on vinyl. I can't wait for the Joe Rogan Experience Taylor's version, personally.

Before we get into the whole pro-vaccine announcement, we do, as always, have to go to the Joe Rogan experience headlines in the Joe Rogan experience newsroom with our lovely newsreader Joe Rogan. The federal government has pledged $1 billion to save the Great Barrier Reef from the rest of the government's policies. The Prime Minister said $200 million will be allocated to Hillsong for their thoughts and prayers for the dying reef. Scott Morrison's empathy consultant has today been rushed to hospital after learning the PM claimed Grace Tame didn't smile at him because she has had a terrible life.

Mr Morrison later clarified that he did not mean ill toward Grace Tame and pointed out that he hadn't shot her like he would have done if he'd been living in Myanmar. This is the Joe Rogan Experience News headlines and I'm definitely Joe Rogan. For all the latest news, go to joe rogan.com.com. Okay, welcome back to the Joe Rogan experience.

I'm Joan. And with me today are Joe, Joe, Joe and Joe. Yep. Hey, Joe. It's not at all confusing. Now, if you're one of the 11 million new listeners tuning in to us for the first time, and you're a little bit confused,

do not fear this is the real Joe Rogan experience. This is not just because, you know, we've changed our cover art to look like the Joe Rogan experience and with some other podcast. There's definitely not at all. We've even got Joe Rogan sound effects. Take a listen. Yep, it really is.

The Joe Rogan podcast. Exactly. This is the Joe Rogan show because how could we do that if we weren't Joe Rogan? And to prove it, this podcast is going to be four hours long and just be a rambling mess of opinions and commentary by people who really don't know anything about it. That is our promise to you. Yeah, why talk to experts when you can talk to anyone else? Yeah, people who just reckon. Yeah.

The Joe Reckon experience. Yeah. Maybe we could take that on with our 11 million listeners. Actually, Joe, before we actually get into our ProVX thing, can I just ask all the Joe's in the room? What are you going to do with all the extra money that we earn from having 11 million new listeners? I think I would invest in renewables. I think that's what I think I would just start making renewable energy a possibility. Not a very Joe Rogan-y thing to do. Oh, what do you mean? No, he's a man of innovation. So, Joe, have you changed your mind and climate change as well?

Yeah, right. Wow, okay. I was thinking with my extra 100 mill, I might just donate it all to charity. Yeah, I might just, I don't need $100 million over a four-year contract. I can just spread it out, give it to people who actually need it, because it only costs like 10 bucks to make this podcast. Yeah.

Yeah, that's noble of you, Joe. And what about you, Joe? What would you spend the money on? Well, actually, I'm going to be a little bit more selfish. I'm going to spend it on the money count. machine. Nice. It's hard though. All those numbers. I struggled when I had to count to Joe four times, let alone Joe a hundred million times. Joe, do you have any thoughts? Similarly, I would also donate money, but mainly to causes like pro-LGBQ causes or causes that help with the race

relations, you know, there's this other guy called Joe who helped with the founding of the proud boys and he helped platform the guy that did that. So like, Joe Biden. It'd be good to It'd be good to, like, flip it the other way. You know, the mainstream media lies about, about, like, what Joe Rogans do. And I feel like it would be good if we just helped everyone. Just remember we are Joe Rogan, though. Yeah. We're the person who platformed the Power Boys.

And for that, we are ashamed. Yeah. We know. We're disgusting. We would just like to let you know that I, Joe Rogan and my co-host here, Joe Rogan. I, Joe Rogan. And me as well. Joe Rogan.

Artily and completely endorsed. the vaccine, don't mean? Yep. On the count of three, I love vaccines. Yay. I love vaccines. Yeah, and look, we implore you to go out, get vaccinated. Now, you might think this is a bit of a 180 degrees change from, you know, my previous

position on this. Yeah. Trust me. I didn't just, you know, accept the opinion of stupid experts with their degrees and their qualifications. As we said earlier, we're not about experts. No, statistically valid modeling. No.

No, that is not the reason why we've changed our mind, is it? No. It's because we did what any self-respecting Joe Rogan listener would do. Yes, any Joe, Roe from down the row. Yeah, we just did our own research on it, didn't we? Yep. We googled vaccines. And, you know, we read the comments in our Instagram feeds.

We watched some TikToks about it. Yeah. But most importantly, we read a post that was very, Very convincing from a guy on Facebook who reckoned he knew what was what. It was a brilliant post. I mean, you can't argue with that. That's real research. Fuck peer reviewed.

Yeah, and he reckons the vaccine's good to go now. Well, oh, well, shit. Oh, well, I've got to, I'm convinced. Look my jab. What about the microchips? Oh. Okay, so they take over? Yeah, Joe, what about the microchips?

Yeah, well, the thing is that the microchips are good. Right. Yeah, it turns out. Now, look, we're not saying that Ivermectin does. doesn't work. Obviously, Ivermectin does work. I mean, I used it and it worked. No, I mean, it was a miracle cure.

My horse is now completely worm free. Funny that, how a horse medication fixes a horse. Yeah, incredible. Good for that. You might be wondering why the change of heart, right? And look, I've looked into my heart and I've realized I'm a total dick knob. Joe. Yeah, no, no.

You've got to have a better self-esteem. Don't say that about us. You're a comedian, so you can say whatever you like. So I suppose what I'm saying is to all the Joe Rogan experience Antibax listeners out there, I mean the ones who haven't died from COVID yet. Yeah, made it rest in peace, yeah. Oops, my bad. Yeah.

Sorry about that. Probably shouldn't have said all those anti-vex things. And you know what? I reckon everyone will absolutely believe and accept that apology. Yeah, that's right. Good. Well, there you go. Yeah.

Oh, job done. We've cancelled the antivaxes. Conscience clear, I say. Take the vaccine. Yeah. Well done, Joe. And you know what? For every Joe Rogan listener right now who goes and gets vaccinated, we will send you $100 million.

Yes. Joe, that's a fantastic idea. That's what we'll spend our new revenue on. I love it. Talk about incentive. The Joe Rogan Show. Hello and welcome back to the Joe Rogan Experience podcast. I'm Joe Rogan and with me is Joe Rogan.

Hi, Joe Rogan. To continue our Joe Rogan Experience special, we thought we'd have an interview. with a bit of a controversial guess. Totally on brand for us. So we're here with none other than infamous right-wing commentator and absolute dickhead. Ben Shapiro, thanks for joining us in the studio, Ben. Are you comfortable?

Life isn't about feeling comfortable? Oh, well, comfort living is what we're here to talk about today, isn't it, Ben? You've agreed to come on and discuss the topic of why you're against climate change? No. Sorry, you're not here to promote climate change denial. My answer is no. You've been against climate change for your entire career. What caused you to change your mind?

It really is science that I find to be the best argument and the most convincing argument. Well, as opposed to what you used to say about climate change and rising water levels being easily solved because people... You think that people aren't going to just sell their homes and move? Yeah, that argument exactly. I mean, what changed your mind about your old stance? I don't think it's a very really strong argument, particularly because most of the people who state it generally don't bother to acknowledge the other side of the argument.

With all these poor arguments, why do you think that the world's politicians haven't done anything to stop climate change. And they don't seem to care enough about the dead kids. If they cared more about the dead kids, they would agree with you on policy. Who said anything about dead kids? We've got a bunch of fascists. Damn fascist. Okay, Ben, I think you're getting worked up.

And I asked you a question. You failed to answer a single one of mine. Ben, what do you have to say to these politicians about their inaction that's essentially killing the planet? Get off your ass, you stupid pansies. Isn't that a little bit rude? Forget about the disrespect facts. Don't care about your feelings?

Speaking of feelings, actually, how do you feel about the fact that your wife told everyone you guys have a bad sex life? Yeah, that seems mildly inappropriate for a political discussion. Oh, I'm sorry, Ben. I'm sorry. It's just been on my mind for a really long time. I had to ask. You purport to be an objective journalist.

And you purport to prefer bad sex, so... You know, I'm not inclined to continue an interview with a person as badly motivated as you as an interviewer. So I think we're done here. I appreciate your time. All right. Well, that wraps everything up as for those. Any final comments, Ben? Damn fascist.

Of course. Yeah, thanks, Ben. Thanks. You're listening to the Joe Rogan Experience. back to the Joe Rogan experience. I'm Joe Rogan. I'm also Joe Rogan. I'm Joe Rogan. We didn't know what to talk about. So we thought we get Joe Rogan in to run through a list of all the things that have happened in the last month or so. Yeah. So Joe, what's been happening? It's 2022 the year of the Joe. And I thought we should look back at the start of the year when

there was some statistics that came out and said that this year's going to be better for COVID. and Dominic Perrote took real charge in South Wales for COVID response and it was going to, at worst, get to the point where it would go about 20,000 cases a day. Sorry, real quick, Joe, for the 11 million listeners who are still definitely listening to this amazing episode of the Joe Rogan experience, if you don't know what a premiere is. Yeah, because we should explain it to me. Yeah, I've just realized, like a lot of the 11 million listeners are probably not from Australia. Don't necessarily know.

Yeah, and don't really understand governments, you know, they don't really get how politics works. So just to quickly explain, we have a premiere, which is kind of like a governor, but less guns. Yes, yes. And we should probably also explain what statistics are. Oh, true. I'm not sure. Joe, how can I be so stupid? Yeah.

No, go on. Statistics are when you take the, like, take a really big number, like 100 million. And you sort of divide that into, oh, fuck, what are statistics again? Smaller numbers within a big number. Yeah, so I think the experts. I got confused myself there. It's hard to keep track. And statistically, one in four Joe Rogans will get confused by most of the content on today's

episode. What else has happened, Joe? Well, luckily, it then turned into the worst case scenario was if we had a test shortage and then two days later we had a test shortage, which if you don't know what tests are, tests are these things where you do something and it comes back with a result. Right. Yeah, they sound a bit like a bit sort of. science bullshit though don't they are they based on science? Yeah I don't know how much we're supposed to

believe I mean I always thought that you know if you don't test for COVID then you don't have yes yeah that's a very good point plausible deniability keep taking us away Joe what else happened after the rat shortage after the rat shortage that led to a food shortage which luckily then the solution was our gloriously our Prime Minister Scott Morrison decided to put kids in the forklifts and that would solve everything. Oh right okay so For the listeners, the 11 million listeners who don't know what a prime minister is, it's basically just a guy at this point. Yeah. He's just a sort of, imagine somebody who doesn't really know,

so sort of mid-tier marketing executives. Yeah. Who doesn't really do anything. Yeah. It's sort of like somebody you'd set Temping Bowling who would cheat and use the bumpers. Yeah, and the ramp. Yeah. Yeah.

And get a spare every time. And for our 11 million Joe Rogan listeners who don't know what a forklift is, it's this big sort of harsh industrial machine that people with real jobs use. And a real job, it's not like the sort of in your mum's basement, NFT mining that you guys do. But you know what? Actually, it's not that much of a stretch to think that our 11 million listeners wouldn't mind putting a massive, possibly fatal machinery in the hands of children.

I think they'd be all on board with that. Well, it's they're right. It's the Second Amendment right. Yeah. So then a tennis player called Novak Djokovic tried to come to Australia. Novak, no, we're ProVac here on the Joe Rogan show today. Well, sadly, well, Novak wasn't so ProVac, and then he got blocked at the border, and then he got blocked at the border again, and then he got let in,

and then he got blocked on the border again. Jogovic got Blockovic. Just to Joe Rogan listeners, it's a bit like he was treated like a bit like a Mexican. Oh, yeah, that'll make him. easy to understand. Hill Song, the big church, decided to have a massive party when parties were banned by our government. Sorry, really quickly, for our 11 million Joe Rogan experience listeners, a party is a function

that is thrown when you have friends. And Hillsong is a type of mega church, much like your megachurches, except this one was set up by a child predator. So much like churches. Just all the churches. Yeah, they'll get that one. I didn't have to explain that one. That's why I thought parties was the one to explain.

Keep going. And then pressure built around the Ukraine border with Russia planning to invade. Well, Russia's where our good friend, Jordan Peterson, gets all of his tranquilizer from. So all of our listeners are familiar with that already. And then, well, there was the Australian of the Year announcement at the event. Former Australian of the year Grace Tane was there to hand over the prize. And she did not smile at the Prime Minister. Sorry for our 11 million listeners.

Grace Tame is something you would call a woman. Many of you might not be familiar with the concept of a woman, but I assure you they're real and they're very scary. They're out there, they're taking over. But they do look good when they smile. Yeah, and you know what? You can ask the women in your life to smile. I'm sure it'll go great.

I'll write that one down. Thanks for explaining that to us four men, Joe. Yeah. Cheers, Joe. And that's pretty much it, isn't it? I assume so there wasn't enough news in terms of like the YouTube as I watch that do all the news or the people on 4chan so yeah and I reckon now our 11 million listeners are very well versed in the news relating to them we definitely covered everything well that

thank you Joe Rogan that was the last month of news that was the news on the Joe Rogan experience we'll be back after this The Joe Rogan Show. Welcome back to the Joe Rogan experience. Now, it's about 17 minutes in. Oh. Now, normally the Joe Rogan experience would go for at least four hours and be completely unedited. Yeah, I mean, I'm just getting warmed up.

Do you think maybe we should change the format of the Joe Rogan experience and just make it longer? I think the less of Joe, the better, to be honest. And also, like, I want people to be able to enjoy nearly. young. I mean, the less time, the less time listening to us, the more time you can be listening to Neil Young. Okay, so in a first for the Joe Rogan experience, we're going to... Quit while we're ahead.

Quit while we're ahead. And we're going to say goodbye. Our gear is from Road microphones. Yeah, our gear is from Rogan microphones. Oh, yeah. Our gear is from Joe Rogan microphones. And we're a part of the Joe Rogan network. And if you're angry about this particular change-up to the...

the Joe Rogan experience. You can find out more about the changes we're making. If you go to joeorgon.com. Don't ask us why the AU's in there. It's just a fun little decoration. That stands for America. Unionized. Yeah, great.

That's great. They'll love that. And as, yeah, one final thought for today, just remember we're Joe Rogan and we implore everyone to get vaccinated. I'm Joe. I'm Joe. I'm Joe. I'm Joe.

And I'm. Joe, that's right. You got it. Catch you tomorrow. We're definitely still going to be beating this dead horse. This was a great idea. Yeah, it's not an all going to backfire.
