The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
This episode of the Joe Rogan Experience is brought to you by Call of Duty. You know, when a new Call of Duty drops, everyone's trying to find a way to squeeze in those extra hours of gameplay. I get it. Life is busy, but sometimes you just need it.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Yeah, pull up our operations. What year was that? Like pre-satellites? 67, 68, somewhere around then, maybe slightly earlier than that. Okay. Because now you fuck up all the telecommunications if you did that, right? No, no, no. Well, maybe. It depends on where you do it, I guess. But a solar flare could fuck up all of our communications. Yeah. One good blast and all of our satellites are down.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Yeah. Starfish Prime is a high-altitude nuclear test conducted by the- It's just a test, Gregory. A joint effort of the Atomic Energy Commission and the Defense Atomic Support- Oh, 62. It was launched in Johnston Atoll in July 9, 1962. It was the largest nuclear test conducted in outer space and one of five conducted by the U.S. in space. A Thor rocket. Imagine your name on your rocket. Thor.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
He was really good. He kicked me fucking hard. Yeah. Um, They gave me time out. I continued the fight, but I knew it really hurt. I lost the fight. And then as I was driving home, I was with my girlfriend. And I was thinking at the time, I was like, I don't know if this thing works anymore.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
containing a W49 thermonuclear warhead designed at Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory, and a Mach MK2 re-entry vehicle was launched from Johnston Atoll in the Pacific Ocean about 900 miles west-southwest of Hawaii. The explosion took place at an altitude of 250 miles. Not that high. No. That's not that high. That's like right at the border of where I think the belts start.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
I think the belts start at like around 300, 350, something like that. Starfish test was one of five high-altitude tests grouped together as Operation Fishbowl. I think in Hawaii they had power outages because of it. Wow. But did they have power outages? Does it say they have power outages in Hawaii? Does it say anything? This is the whole Wikipedia on the thing, right? Yeah. Hmm.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
I believe they did. I think that was one of the issues. After Effects. Okay, here it goes. What? There was much uncertainty and debate about the composition, magnitude, and potential adverse effects from the trap radiation after the detonation. The weaponiers became quite worried when three satellites in low Earth orbit were disabled. These included the TRAAC and the Transit 4B.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
The half-life of the energetic electrons was only a few days. Oh. At the time, it was not known that solar and cosmic particle fluxes varied by a factor of 10 and energies could exceed 1 MeV, whatever that means. In the months that followed, these man-made radiation belts eventually caused six or more satellites to fail.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
As radiation damaged their solar arrays or electronics, including the first commercial relay communications satellite, Telstar. Telstar. Yeah, as well as the United Kingdom's first satellite. Detectors on Telstar, TRAAC engine, and Ariel 1 were used to measure the distribution of the radiation produced by the tests. So we fucked up England's satellite.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Oh, wait, look at this. Exposure in outer space, the fallout from Starfish Prime was less than other ground tests. Estimate for its health impacts and excess deaths, including from thyroid cancer, are hard to find. But overall excess deaths impact of thousands of above ground tests have likely amounted between 10,000 and 100,000 lives. Whoa. Just from the tests.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
That's what killed John Wayne, you know. Oh, is that right? John Wayne and the whole cast of a movie he was on got cancer. And they did these westerns out in Nevada.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Because it was so painful. So I got home and jerked off. And as soon as I jerked off, I'm like, oh, we're good. Yeah.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
That test went off. Yeah. Nevada had a bunch of them. Yeah. That's why they got gambling. Like, let's make a deal. The Conqueror, 220 people on the set of The Conqueror, 91 were diagnosed with cancer, including both Wayne, who died in 1979 at 72, and his co-star, Susan Hayward, who died in 1975 at 57.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Rough. Rough time. Dies at 72. The Duke. Well, I'll tell you. AI. Quentin Tarantino movie. John Wayne. The Last Gunslinger.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Yeah, he went nutty. Yeah, that lady was crazy. Her sister's like, we're not Indian.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Yeah, yeah, yeah. That wasn't her name. Yeah, she was like, outraged John Wayne had to be restrained by six guards during the Marlon Brando Oscar win. I'll tell you what. Find out that lady, that that lady was not really Native American. Wow. She had made it all up. She came up with a fake name. She got up there with the whole poncho on and everything.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
It was Halloween at the Oscars. Bro, she was, like, one of the first people that, like, stole culture.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Yeah. Yeah. You know, back then you couldn't be transracial, but I think that's coming. I think she was ahead of her time. Yeah. I think she was ahead of her time. I think you could probably be trans white and no one will call you on it. Trans white, it's like, let him be white. That's fine. I identify as white. Okay. No one cares. You know?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
This is how stupid I am. I've done that twice. Another time I got kneed in the dick. I was doing jujitsu and I didn't have a cup on the last time I trained without a cup on. This guy was passing my guard, and it's a standard technique because he wasn't doing it maliciously. You shove your knees through the guard when someone's passing your guard.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Like, no one gets outraged when a woman turns into a man. You're like, well, probably shouldn't have done that, but good luck to you. Nobody gets mad. Like, you're appropriating male culture. Like, women get mad when men become women and then want to go in the women's room and appropriate women culture and then join women's groups and tell women what to do.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
And there are biological males who identify as women. Women get real upset. But if, like, a biological woman... Wants to hang out with the guys? Wants to pretend to be a guy? Like, I want to get on the board. Like, no one's getting threatened. Okay, Frank, join the board. Who cares?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Maybe he knew she wasn't really Indian, so he didn't charge his stage. Maybe it's one of them QAnon things. So what is The Lady, though, the story about The Lady? That's what I really wanted to hear about because that's kooky. There's a kooky thing that people do. They always pretend to be Native American. No one pretends they're Polish. No, I've got Polish roots. Like, no one does that.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
No one pretends to be Irish. No one says I'm German when you're actually not.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Yeah, they moved to Argentina. Yeah, a lot of them. Yeah, and Brazil. Communities of Brazil, they speak German.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Yeah, but I'm pretty sure the gal was she had some issues and was kind of like making stuff up.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Yeah. Wild lady. I bet she's fun to hang out with. Yeah. Wants to pretend to be an Indian? Like, okay. A little imagination. Let's go. Let's go camping.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Yeah, show me how to start a fire. Go catch a fish. Here's two rocks. How do you do it? How do you guys start a fire? Show me how.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Yeah, her sisters ratted her out. Yeah. Pull the story up.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Goddamn ad blockers. It's just that thing of people wanting to be something other than what they are is very weird. But the grass is always greener. God, I wish I was a Native American. That'd be so fucking cool. Like you pretend you hear things. Shh. Look, there she is. Sashene Littlefeather. What a great name. A lot about Native American ancestry, sisters claim. It's a fraud.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
It's disgusting to the heritage of the tribal people, and it's just insulting to my parents. She was a nutty lady. She was pretty, though, too.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
That's probably how she tricked Marlon Brando. Oh, yeah. She rubbed it up against him. He's like, I love Indians.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
The guard is the legs, so your legs are wrapped around a person. You're trying to work a submission from the bottom, and they're trying to pass to get to a better – because in the guard, it's very difficult to submit someone when you're in their guard. You want to get out of their guard, and that's a more dominant position to submit.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
That guy was out of his fucking mind. Yeah. Got an island. Became 350 pounds. Yeah. Hung out by himself on an island. But that's probably why he was so good. You know, when you talk about, like, original comics, like, he's the original actor. Yeah. You know, Streetcar Named Desire? Watch that movie. Yeah. Like, nobody acted like that back then.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Right. Because before that, they were like, say, get away from my girl. It was all rhythm. I'll suck you. Yeah, yeah, right, right, right.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Yeah, they talked so weird back then. Yeah. And they talked fake. It was like fake. Like he was the first guy to like, oh, it seems like he's really experiencing that right now. He's really upset. Yeah. Yeah.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
And everybody was like, whoa, who's this guy? Marlon Brando. James Dean. Same kind of thing, you know? They just broke down on stage, the emotions they had.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
And Newman, too, in The Hustler. Oh, my God. Incredible. Yeah, that was amazing. Incredible. And that's 1963. That's the year Kennedy was shot, that movie came out.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
First guy ever to play a pool player that you could say, oh, that guy actually played pool.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
He's the only one where I buy it hook, line, and sinker. You watch him play the balls, you're like, that guy can play.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Yep. But Paul Newman, like, come on. Tom Cruise? You weren't buying Tom Cruise? No. Rudimentary. Didn't move the ball. Yeah. Anybody can make a straight-in shot if you teach them. It's like, can you move the ball? Yeah. How do you move? It takes so long to be able to stroke a ball, to be able to, like, get draw stroke, like full table, full-length draw.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Put English, side spin, adjust for the way it's going to deflect off the other ball, get position on the next shot. That's what I want to see. And you don't see that in movies where a guy's playing pool except for Gleason. When Gleason's making those shots, you're like, that guy can fucking play. He's going into the rack. He's moving the ball around. You're like, that guy's a player.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
No. Minnesota Fats used to be called New York Fats. And he changed his name to Minnesota Fats after the movie.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
He was a hustler, a real hustler. Minnesota Fats was a very good pool player, but not nearly as good as Willie Moscone. Willie Moscone was in The Hustler. Yeah, yeah, that's right. He was one of the guys racking the balls when they had the first big match. But Willie Moscone was like a real world champion pool player. Yeah. Minnesota Fats was just a really good player.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Perhaps. Moscone was just a better player, period, all around. He'd beat him in everything that they would ever play in. There's not a chance in hell that... Except there's a game called One Pocket, and that was one of the games that Minnesota Fats was an expert at. And One Pocket is a complicated game where, like... Do you know how to play it?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Okay. So if it's a six-pocket table, you have the pocket on the left in the corner. I have the pocket on the right. And you must make all your balls in that pocket. There's 15 balls in a rack, right? When you get to eight balls, you win. That means you won the rack. If I get to eight balls, I win. And so you can make a spot too.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Like say if I'm a better player than you, I say I'll spot you 10 to 5. You only need to make 5 balls and you win. I need to make 10 balls in my hole and you win. And so it's all about moving balls around. So you want to keep the cue ball in a position where you can't possibly make a ball in that corner. And you want to nudge balls slowly towards your corner.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
It's all about not making any drastic moves and understanding how to play the game. Super complicated gambler's game. So a lot of times when people are playing for a lot of money, they like to play this game. Wow. Games take forever. A game might take three hours for one game. Yeah. So if you pot a ball in another pocket, does it stay down? No.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
If you pot a ball in a side pocket, it comes back up and it gets spotted. If you pot a ball in the other guy's pocket accidentally, that's his ball. Oh. And then you lose your spot.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Yeah. You'll go mad. You just take wild shots and then you fuck up and you scatter the rack and then the guy runs out.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
I'm too ADD for that. I need to be moving the ball around. I like to play position on the next shot and then that to the next shot. But it's a very complicated game that really good players play. Minnesota Fats, the real New York Fats is his real name. Rudolph Wanderone was his name. He was a really good player at that. That's the gambling game. To this day, when guys match up...
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
One of the things that happens, like if there's big tournaments, certain guys will show up where these big tournaments are that are just one-pocket players. And they try to entice one of these pros into a game of one-pocket. And then they'll bet $50,000, $60,000, $100,000. You hear about these things. This is a place called the Derby City Classic. It happens every year.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
I think it's in Louisville still. But these guys go down there and it's like a 10-day festival where road players just go down and meet each other. They play in tournaments and they try to gamble each other.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Oh, yeah. They do fucking math and stay up for three days in a row, I bet. That's what they used to do. They used to all do amphetamines like back in the 70s. They were all real skinny.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
I'm like, ah, fuck. So my dick is bleeding out my dick hole. So I'm like, okay. What would I do if this was my nose? I was like, I would just go home. It's just a bloody nose. Like, am I being a pussy because it's my dick? It's a bloody dick. Let's just like, we'll give it the night. And if it feels bad tomorrow, we'll go to the doctor. So I get home and I'm like, well, how do I know if it works?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it's a complicated game. Unfortunately, it's not that popular anymore. Video games are too good. It's too easy to entice people into video game land. You mean instead of pool in general? Yeah. If there was nothing but pool, all these young kids would be into playing pool because it's so exciting. My daughter's obsessed with pool.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
I think there's one in like Brentwood but that's far but Hollywood Billiards was the place yeah that place was great yeah there was an original Hollywood Billiards that I went the first time I went to LA it was in 94 but that place got condemned after the earthquake oh so then they moved it to that big place with the parking lot and that place I think was like hard to keep up I used to shoot with Adam Ferrara over there sometimes he's a good player I used to shoot with him in House of Billiards and the one in Studio City is that where it's at
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Maybe it's on Studio City. Somewhere in the valley, there was a house of billiards. God damn it. I used to do the Monday Night Tournament there. Oh, really? What is it? Nine-ball tournament? Yeah. Sherman Oaks. Sherman Oaks, that's right. Yeah, I used to go there with Dom, too.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Yeah, that's how Dom and I became friends. Dom and I did Montreal together in, like, 93. And then I was at Amsterdam Billiards when it was on the west side. And I showed up, and I had my own queue, and I was putting my queue together, and Dom Herrera walked in. And he goes, oh, hey, Joseph. I go, you play pool? He had his own cue, too. I'm like, let's fucking play. And we played for hours.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
So listen, dude, let's wrap this up because I've got to pee. Your special, it's out.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
This coming weekend, you're at the Comedy Works, which is one of the best clubs that's ever existed.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
And great history to it. And Wendy's the best. Yeah, Wendy Curtis, shout out. Shout out to Wendy. All right. Anything else? Instagram?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
So I jerked off. I jerked off and blood came out with it. Yeah. And this is how, because I did it kind of clinical because I want to know. So I did it into the toilet. So I jerked off into the toilet. While I'm doing it, I'm like, what the fuck is wrong with you? You're so broken. You're such a crazy person.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
And then I was like, I think it works. It's all good. Wow. And so the next day, I made sure I didn't get infected. Next day, I was like, just checking. Make sure everything's good. Didn't hurt. Did you jerk off again? No. I let it go for a couple days. Just leave it alone. Yeah. I didn't want it to be sore. But it was fine. It was fine.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
So some blood vessel burst just like it would burst in your mouth.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
I get fat lips all the time. You know, you're always getting cuts somewhere. Damn. I just treated it like that.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Imagine a fucking gopher just grabbing ahold of your dick. A gopher. They could chew through a tree. You know people have died from gophers before?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Yes. A lady died recently. She got bit by a gopher. Just bled out. Wow. Bro, they chew through trees. Yeah. And their teeth never stop growing. They have to chew on things to wear their teeth out. Yeah. Otherwise it'll just go right through their fucking face.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
If you can tolerate the winters, you're in like the most uber progressive, but really kind for the most part. It's like an idyllic sort of environment. There's douchebags everywhere you go.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
You ever do that? Those people will get you killed. Oh, yeah. Because there's some that look good, and they're not. I know. There's a whole nursing home incident. A few years back, some guy was like, I'm an expert mushroom picker. Got some mushrooms and cooked them up for everybody, and they all died. No. Yeah. Yeah. Some of them will kill you quick. Yeah, we stuck to the chanterelles.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
There it is. Sacramento Bee. In addition to the untimely deaths of Barbara Lopez and Teresa... Try saying that name. Alice Newitz... Four others were sickened after they were given a wild mushroom soup prepared by a caregiver who also consumed the poisonous potage. Caregiver and three elderly residents were hospitalized. Boy, that guy's never cooking for them again. Fuck.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
You can get really sick from mushrooms. Really sick. Like you could die like quickly from some of them.

And the guy's like, what the fuck is going on? You all missed? This is crazy. Maybe the God has spoken. Yeah. God has said, I shouldn't be killed.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
A sniper shot is all just about not having any excess movement. Right. And controlling your breath.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
So when a sniper shoots, they're prone for the most part, meaning they're lying down. So you cut out all the movement. Yeah. Your shoulder's rested. You ever seen like a sniper shoot? Yeah. Their shoulders rested. They have the stock pressed against their body, and all they're doing is controlling this finger and not flinching and controlling their breathing and keeping that.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Because a lot of these guys can shoot from a mile away now.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
A mile away. And do they factor in gravity on the bullet? They factor in a bunch of different things. A lot of times they're using apps. You can use an app. And you also use an app for the wind. So you want to know which way the wind's blowing.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
and and how where to hold you know and then you have a scope that's dialed out like it's zeroed out at a very specific yardage whatever it is so you can just put the crosshair wherever it is a lot of times if someone's hunting they would do it like zeroed out at 100 yards so it effectively would be up or down maybe four inches and 300 yards or 400 yards wow
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Yeah, so a really fast shooting, flat shooting rifle, you zero them out. So this guy's got to zero this thing out at a fucking, how many thousand yards is a mile? How long is that? What is that in yards? Twelve. So I've heard of guys shooting 1,500 yard shots.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Yeah, so there's so much equipment. It has to be so dialed in. I mean, they're citing in these things on ranges, and it's so specific. It's 1,700, sorry. 1,700, okay. That's so crazy. That's so far away. That's so far away, you can barely see it. So they're looking through this insane scope on this rifle, and they've got this crosshair on some dude's head that's a mile away, and they go, boom.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
And then you just wait. Takes a second. Yeah. I think it takes two seconds. Wow. How many seconds does it take for, let's say, a .300 Win Mag? .300 Win Mag at 1,700 yards. A standard, like, high-powered rifle round that they would use. I don't know if that's what they would use for snipers. Like, those guys are very—the long-range guys are very different than any other kind of shooter. Yeah. Yeah.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
They're all about the science and the tech and all the stuff that's involved in getting the win. I have a buddy of mine who does long-range shooting. He's not an attacker. He's just a gun enthusiast who likes long-range shooting. He does competitions. And they just shoot steel. And you hear, boom, dink. It's like quite a long while afterwards. Yeah.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
There's a reason having a balanced diet is so important. So how do you know if your dog's food is as healthy and as safe as it can be? Farmer's Dog gives you that peace of mind by making fresh, real food developed by board-certified nutritionists to provide all the nutrients your dog needs. And their food is human-grade, which means it's made to the same quality and safety standards as human food.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
So like if you're shooting an animal and it's walking, it's super unethical.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Because you don't know what that thing's going to do. And the time between you shooting the gun, like with a bow and arrow, you never shoot at a walking animal.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Because they're moving. Right. Or if you do, you have to be a real expert and you would lead. You would like shoot them in the front of the shoulder to get into the vitals as they're walking. But that's like... That's an added element of, whew, anything can happen.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Crossbows are a little bit more accurate, and they shoot a bolt faster. instead of an arrow. So it's smaller and it's probably because it's smaller, it's not gonna have as much effect by wind. It's gonna have less to move around, less mass to move around. They're very fast though. Those bolts are way faster than an arrow.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Like an arrow, if you have a really fast bow, your arrow's probably gonna go between 300 and 340 feet per second. That's normal. That's normal for like a high-speed bow. But for a crossbow, what's the fastest crossbow? I bet it's like 500 plus. And then you also have a scope on a crossbow and a trigger. It's much more accurate. You could just put that thing on, bang, bang, bang.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
It's way more accurate at 100 yards. And you can go pop, pop, pop fast? No, you can't. No, you'd have to reload it.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Yeah, you have to reload each shot. There's one guy who invented a thing for a compound bow. It's kind of crazy. It's like it's all these arrows stacked in. He's got like this device and you draw it back and you can shoot one arrow after another. 600 feet per second.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
He taught Keanu Reeves for all the John Wick movies. Uh-huh. He... He taught Halle Berry when she was in John Wick. He teaches any time a celebrity needs to learn how to look like a real assassin, they go to that guy. He's a multiple-time champion. You know when they do those, they have a course, and you run the course, and you know, like, teep, and they time you.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Oh, he's a wizard. Yeah, he's like revered for his prowess with a gun. Is he a military guy?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
I think that's a social media ploy. And then a lot of those women are real actual competitors. They do those same sort of competitions. They just happen to be tens. Have you ever seen those gun competitions? No. Well, they're fun to watch. See if you can find one of those where they run a course. So they time them, and it's all about accuracy and speed.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
But if you're a hot chick and you can get involved in something that's primarily male thing, what is the ratio of male gun enthusiasts to female gun enthusiasts? Is it seven to three? Oh, way more. I'm being nice. Yeah, you're being very nice.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Very few pet foods are made to this strict standard. And let's be clear, human-grade food doesn't mean the food is fancy. It just means it's safe and healthy. It's simple. Real food from people who care about what goes into your dog's body. The Farmer's Dog makes it easy to help your dog live a long, healthy life by sending you fresh food that's pre-portioned just for your dog's needs.

So if you're a hot chick in yoga shorts and you're also awesome with a gun-
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Of course, yes. Yeah, if you're hot in that world, a world of dopey men, that's a great ploy.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Do you know that those guys get divorced the least? I love that. That's amazing. The ratio is – correct me if I'm wrong – With male-female, it's like 50%, but it's skewed. It's not really 50%. What it is is a lot of people are serial divorcees.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
So they get married and get divorced, get married and get divorced. The amount of people that stay together is probably higher than 50%, but there's a bunch of Jennifer Lopez's out there fucking up the curve. There's a bunch of people that get four or five marriages, five, six, seven marriages. This episode is brought to you by ZipRecruiter.

People are out of their minds, right? Yeah. Then there's lesbians. That's real high. That's like 70 plus percent.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Yeah. 70 plus percent. But then there's gay guys. Gay guys, I think it's 26% divorce ratio. Oh, shit. Yep, super low.

#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Your balls. I should have dressed my balls up nice for Greg. Yeah, gay guys, they're hanging out with guys. I mean, I joked around about it in my special, that I wish I was gay. Because if that's what you liked, you're hanging out with a bunch of guys. Sounds fun, as long as they're not annoying. Right. Because an annoying girl is not as annoying as an annoying guy.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Annoying guys, they can be a real problem. Like aggro annoying guys?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Yeah. They're worse than anything. Because you never feel comfortable. Yeah. You're like always in this state of, oh, God. They're always trying to one-up everybody. Something could happen here. Yeah. Something stupid. This guy could break a bottle and drink from it. You know, there's morons out there. Yeah. Annoying guys are dangerous. Annoying girls are just usually just annoying. Right.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Just an annoying human. They don't have that element of this could be dangerous. That's a good point. Yeah. Especially if they're big. Big drunk guys are scary. They get those gopher eyes. Their pupils go away. They just look like a fucking zombie.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Yeah. But then men are like, I'm not even drunk, bro.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Men are four times more drunk driving. Four times more drunk driving related accidents than women. Drunk male drivers cause 80% of the drunk driving fatalities documented. Holy shit. 81% of people arrested for drunk driving were men. Only 19% were women. How many of those women just had big tits? And they, ma'am, we'll take you home. You live by yourself.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Oh, yeah. Well, there's some fucking hilarious body cams out there of girls going, I'll do anything.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
I never know how many of them are real these days because I think these days there's a lot of people who fake Police interactions and they do stuff for clout they stage things for clown They'll they'll make a viral video of like a fake fight people throwing things at each other all for clout and
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Oh, that's funny. Yeah, you can trick people today. There's a lot of fake stuff going on. You know? Yeah. A lot of fake. How many war footage videos were out? People go, that's from a video game. Like, what?

Yep. Yeah, a lot of them. The war footage stuff is crazy because that's how good the video games are. Those video games are so good today that you watch them, especially if you're looking at it on your phone, right? Especially my eyes. My eyes aren't that good. And I'm looking at some fucking jet getting shot down. I'm like, wow, that's crazy. Look at how high res that is. Kudos to the camera guy.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Then I'm like, oh, it's a video game, you fucking idiot.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Google that will bring that one up, Jamie, of the Tokyo Street. So they have this footage that is all just a prompt, right? So they put in a prompt to this AI, like drone footage of Tokyo Street while it's snowing. And this Video is entirely fake and it looks exactly like someone flew a drone over Tokyo. The people are moving in random manners. They're moving at different speeds.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
I think there's newer stuff now, too. So it's even better.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
This is insane. Look how good the texture looks on the snow, how it varies. Yeah. I mean, look, all the people, the fucking... It's just wild, man. And this is the stuff that we know about. This is the stuff, for sure, they have some new version of this that they just haven't released to the public yet.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Yeah, it was an $800 million facility he was putting down. He saw Sora. That's what he saw. Oh, okay. And they realized like, oh, we don't need any of this anymore. They're not going to need actors either.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Which is like part of the strike was that they were trying to own the digital rights to a person. Like say if they paid you, you're a background extra. They don't want to have to keep paying extras. So we'll own all their faces.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
This is bananas. This is completely bananas. Yeah. This is all AI generated. Not to mention the scripts are going to be mostly AI generated. Oh, yeah, 100%. But that's the thing I'm saying about this, that when they're doing this stuff and putting this stuff into a prompt- It's easy. It's like instantaneous. Yeah.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
And so what they were trying to do with these background, like imagine you're a background guy. You know, you just moved to Hollywood. You know, you want to get work as an actor. So you decide to take a background gig in a movie. You sign this thing up. But then you wind up becoming successful. That's how almost all actors get started. Sure. They start as background people or work on the crew.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
They get auditions. That's Harrison Ford. He was a fucking carpenter, right? But now they have your likeness for the rest of your life and they can just shove you into movies. Hey, why is Harrison Ford in that fucking movie?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Oh, well, Harrison Ford was an extra, you know? Wow. Yeah, fuck that.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
They can use old footage of people. Dude, they don't need anything anymore. They could do John Wayne movies, but really sophisticated, like Tarantino, John Wayne movie. Like, they could do that right now. Like, someone in AI using this program, maybe not now, maybe five months from now, can make a... John Wayne Tarantino film.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Like, make a Western, but in the style of Quentin Tarantino with the same type of dialogue. Like, that Robert Rodriguez would direct with him.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
And put that together. And they could make it in the style of these guys. They just look at Kill Bill, look at Reservoir Dogs. Okay, we kind of know what he's into.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Bam. And it's moody. It's dark. There's rain dripping from the ceiling. You're looking at the gun before he shoots the guy. The pupils dilate. The pores. Guy's got a pockmarked face from acne scars. I mean, they can do everything, man. It looks like a real movie. And a movie is a little easier to do than video. I would think, because in a movie, you make the background blurry.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
It's a little softer, yeah. That's a weird thing. We like films that doesn't look real. We like a film where when you're talking, everybody in the background is blurry. I don't want to see everybody in the background crystal clear.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
I think the problem with video is it's too good. Yeah. It's too good. Like soap operas. Like, don't they shoot those on film or on video? They shoot them on video. It's probably cheaper.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Yeah, I'm sure it was. Yeah, 90%. And I think Fear Factor was not.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
I think they tried to do it digitally, like one episode or something. God, maybe I'm remembering. Maybe it was something else I did. But I remember they were trying to make this transition. People didn't like the way it looked.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Why not? I can't live without the headphones. Every time someone doesn't want to wear headphones, I'm like, okay, we don't have to. You know, some people don't want to mess their hair up. We don't have that problem.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
There was a video on advertisement the other day with Tom Cruise and someone else, and they were talking about the settings on your television, that if you have the settings on your television set from the factory incorrectly, it can make these brilliant films look too much like video.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
because of whatever funky shit they're doing to make the television look clearer and crisper, which is great in most things, but it's not great when you're watching a film that's been sort of designed to get you to focus on specific things and have the background more blurry.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
I remember the first time I saw one of the Star Wars films, like Return of the Jedi or one of those, and I saw it on a high-resolution big-screen TV. I was like, this looks like dog shit yeah the background was so fake it was like so clearly like a painting of a spaceship in the background it looked so corny but in the movies it looked perfect yeah right
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
It's also a time capsule too, though, right? There's something about that where you're like, God, Richard Pryor was like 35 back then. Look at him. Look at the crowd. Look at the audience. This is wild. What was it like back then? Imagine being alive back then and sitting in that audience back then. Like, fuck.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Is there any good footage of Lenny Bruce? There's some. A lot of black and white stuff.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Yeah. There's a lot of unfortunate footage. There was him when he was kind of going crazy at the end of his life. He was just reading from transcripts of his trial.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
They're weird. Yeah. Because people don't know what they're listening to. Like, why am I listening to this? Yeah. He became obsessed with his trial. Uh-huh. Trials. They were putting that guy in jail for doing something we do every night, which is really crazy. Yeah. Really crazy. Yeah. There we go. From 1965.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
That's my hat look. It looks good. I like it. I like them paper boy hats.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
This isn't probably the best example. I don't know why you picked that, but the oldest version of him.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
You know what's great? The Dustin Hoffman film where he plays him.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
He did a fucking phenomenal job. Dustin Hoffman nailed it. He nailed it.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
I think maybe, maybe an influence, but I think it's a pretty unique fictional story of someone who's friends with Lenny Bruce. Hacks is definitely based on Joan Rivers. Oh, really?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
You know what the best conspiracy theory about Joan Rivers is? What? That she was killed because she outed Michelle Obama for being a man. Oh, gosh. Midge Maisel from The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel was inspired by real-life comedian Joan Rivers, sharing similarities in their upbringing, education, and performing at the Gaslight Cafe in New York. Wow. She nails it, though. Yep.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
She nails it. I think she's won at least two Emmys for that show. Yeah, she nails it. The first season and the second season are amazing. I trailed off in the third season.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
I want to see the struggle in her trying to make it because it's kind of crazy that this housewife decides to become a comedian and she's actually really talented and kind of wild and crazy. But then once she starts making it, I'm bored. Yeah. Because now you're in nonsense land.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Now she's going to be glamorous or she's doing USO tours. Like, shut the fuck up.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. He's played bad guys, good guys. Yeah. He's a good comic, too. He is? Yeah. It's hard for people to pull off because you've got to really be doing it. Because if you're not really doing it, I know you're not really doing it. If it's not really making the audience laugh, even if you had to do your act and there was a crowd of people that were paid to laugh at your act...
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
So you have to do your act. They see you do it over and over and over again. Take five. And they have to, ha, ha, ha, ha. I'm going to know you're not connecting with them. I'm going to know they're not connecting with you. You're never really going to be able to do that in a movie unless the guy actually does stand-up. Yeah. Like if Louis C.K.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
was going to do a movie about a comic, and he would have to, like, do stand-up. And, you know, he used to do that in Louis, right? Yeah. In Louis, at the beginning of the show, he would do a little stand-up. Well, he actually did the stand-up, though. That was actual real stand-up.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
The only way to do it. If you have a movie and you have a bunch of people that are being paid to sit and be audience members, the whole dynamic is fucked. It's never going to be real. It has to be real. You'd have to just bring in crowds. Just bring in a bunch of crowds. Have a comic do it and film it at a theater, film four shows. There's no way you're going to do it.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Yeah. Well, instead of doing multiple takes, what you would do is you would just film all the stand-up and then splice it into the show or the movie. That's what you would do.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
You and I had just started back then because that was when that was going on. And I remember thinking, God, the difference in real life and these fucking movies is so crazy. But it was also when they were doing stand-up, it wasn't funny. It wasn't real. There was nothing. It wasn't locked in. You know, no.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Yeah, you should have done that a long time ago. What's that side hair bullshit?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
But she had material in Maisel. Yeah. She had a lot of shit that was on her mind.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Yeah, she wanted to tell those stories that she thought were hilarious. Yeah. That was a little different, but Punchline was just nonsense.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Yeah, he was a super nice guy too. Fuck, what was his last name? He died a few years back. Yeah. Negron? Taylor Negron? That's it. Funny dude. Very nice guy. Came up to me at the improv one night and we had a cool conversation.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Also, you have to go to a barber? What? Right. And listen to some stupid stories?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
See, they should have used that in the movie. Exactly.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
But no, no, no, no. It doesn't have to be grainy, but that. Film him actually doing stand-up. Yeah. That's what you should have done. Yeah. So it's not that he sucked, because right there he just did it, but he was at flip the top. Nobody knows how to use these goddamn things. It's amazing how many people, you give them a Calibri lighter and they just... Well, it's like man discovering fire.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
So if they use that... I would have bought that movie. That would have been a much better movie. How did they not know that? If you're doing a film on stand-up and you're going to have comics, you could have just had them doing stand-up. Actually do stand-up. Just get a comedy club. You say, Tom Hanks is going to perform. It's going to sell out.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
And you say, oh, and ladies and gentlemen, you guys are going to be in a movie. Please do not heckle. And have a great show. Like, oh my God, we're going to be in a movie. This is amazing. You'd be extra excited, all happy. It would be great. It would have been a great movie. Yeah. But maybe, you know, Sally Fields' jokes were terrible in that movie. Awful. I'd like to see her set.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
He used to kill it back then. Barry Sobel? Oh, yeah. When I first started coming to the store, he was one of the big names there. Yeah, he was on MTV a lot back then. I remember that was the guy from Punchline. But it was quite a while afterwards, right? So this was like 94, and that movie was like 88. And he was still kind of doing that same kind of character.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
That was the weird thing about the store in 94. It's like... You know when a wave hits a shore and then pulls back, you see like driftwood and shit just get stuck on the beach? That was the story in 94. Because Kinnison was this wave. And Kinnison and that movement was this wave that washed over comedy and Hollywood. And then Kenison left the store, and then Kenison died in a car accident.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
And then I came to the store like two years later, and it was like beach wood. It was like fucking driftwood and bottle caps and shit. It's like there was a lot of guys there that should have not been doing stand-up anymore. They had been doing the same act for 30 years. It was weird. I was like, this is the comedy store? This is weird. And there was 18 people in the crowd.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
And then Don Marrero would go up, or someone legit would show up, or Damon Wayans would show up. And you go, oh, there's still some good guys here. There's still some good guys here. But it was... When Kinison was around, it was packed because there was like this vibrant energy to comedy in Hollywood. And I missed that wave. God, I wish I could have seen it.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
but and then he hung out after I met him a few times fucking sweetest guy in the world and not at all how he is on stage like very sweet yeah very calm very minimal calm very much like interested in you like ask you questions yeah I met him once at the improv and I didn't know I was talking to him until like a couple minutes into our conversation oh shit so I was I did a show at the improv then afterwards I was taking pictures so I was in the front bar and there's a line of people just taking pictures saying hi to people
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
I always felt like barbershops where guys hung out, that's all just for people who don't play pool. That was always my thought. Like, I see what you're doing. Like, you're getting a guy's place where guys can hang out and just talk. Right. But this is not the way to do it. Because people come in, people you don't know come in, you can't tell some dirty story. Right.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
And this guy comes up and he said, that was really wonderful. I really, really loved this one bit. And he's talking to me about this bit. He's like, that bit, it's like, God, the courage to say that. And I'm like... This is Robin Williams. He had a big white beard and a hat on. And I didn't realize it. Well, thank you, man. I really appreciate it. And thank you for coming.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
He goes, yeah, I really wanted to watch your set. It was really fun. Wow, that's pretty cool. It was cool. But I was like, this is the craziest thing. He didn't introduce himself. I'm Robin Williams. He waited in line. Nobody noticed that he was in line because he had this big beard, a big beard and glasses and a hat on.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
yeah it took me like i was like oh super nice guy super nice guy i wish there wasn't that joke stealing thing connected with him but i think in his defense i think he was kind of crazy
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
That's a nice, that's a hopeful way. You hope he didn't know he was doing it. It was like, fuck it, I'm doing it anyway. I want to make it.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
That's taking somebody's... It could be the difference between you making it and not making it, right? You can have one bit. Like, sometimes for a comic, it's one bit that you base an entire career on. And you have this one bit, and this bit shows you that with the proper focus and a subject where you're really connected to it, you can come up with a banger.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
So I can... And you can headline and close with that. And if some guy just does that on TV... they have just hamstringed your act. You don't have a closer anymore, and maybe you base other stuff on that bit. Maybe you point to it at previous times so that the end part is even funnier because it's kind of a callback. Yeah. I've seen it happen to guys.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Not only that, it's a legendary bit. That's what's crazy. But I think people did things before they understood the internet because they didn't understand that there's going to be real consequences. It's not just some people talking about things. It's a video that shows the bit by Cosby and then your bit, back to back.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
There's a thing that happened because of the internet where it wasn't a rumor anymore. It was like you could just see it right in front of your face and go, Oh, there's no way. Well, especially when it's more than one bit and they put a compilation together. Sure. Then it's like, wow.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Also, there's a thing that happens with those guys where you see there's a stark contrast between the material they steal and the material they write themselves. Mm-hmm. Like, the material they write themselves, this doesn't make any sense. It's like they're doing a caricature of the guy who is killing with the jokes with that same attitude.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
You know, you can't, you know what I mean? Yeah. It's like...
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
But now you have nothing connected to it, but you have all this confidence. Mm-hmm. But it doesn't make any sense. And when they get caught, then they have to do their own stuff. And usually it's a fucking drop off a cliff. Yeah.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
It's a drop off a cliff, the difference between the early stuff where they weren't stealing, or they were stealing rather, and the later stuff where they have to write their own stuff.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Well, there was a sign in the green room of the punchline in Atlanta saying, Quit Trying to Be Hicks. Oh, really? Yeah. The back green room of the Punchline in Atlanta was awesome because there was a bunch of people that signed the wall. The walls were all signed. And it was like, wow, that guy, Mitch Hedberg. And this big sign, somebody wrote, Quit Trying to Be Hicks. That's awesome. Yeah.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Yeah, that was fun. That was fun as shit. Yeah. Atlanta's great. It's a great comedy place. Yeah. It sucks they had to lose that original spot, though. That original spot was so perfectly designed. I know.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
I'm there next week. Yeah, you feel it in the walls. Yeah. It's like so many people have laughed there. So many people have had good times there. It's like burned into the building.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Yeah, cigar bars are good. I like it. Because it's one of the rare places where you go to a cigar. I used to love that place, the Grand Havana Room in Beverly Hills. It's a great room.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Yeah. There's a big difference. Yeah. It's also, it's like, you have a regular job at a restaurant or something like that. Like, isn't that boring? Yep. Isn't that boring? When you'd rather go see comedy, have fun, laugh, everybody's drinking. It's a festive environment. Even if you're not, like, listening to the comic. If someone's killing you in the room and someone's killing you, it feels good.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Classic room. You can kill in that room. Yeah, I know. Quite a few people have done specials there.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Yeah. Perfect room. Yeah. It's actually even better than the OR because there's less people going in. There's less noise. The OR has the problem with that hallway. That hallway sucks.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
So you've got a little bit of a better cross section of people.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Yeah. That's a problem with LA. Everybody in the audience wants to be on stage. Yeah. Even if they're not funny, they wish they were or they could have been. Maybe that could have been me. Yeah. It's not like this is Mike. Mike runs a John Deere factory. He likes to go out with his wife on the weekend and laugh. That's it, like a normal guy. Just a human.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Yeah, I had a humidor for a long time. And you could eat there.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Everybody wants – like that whole town is at least poisoned by people that want to be famous. is at least some aspect of it, the radiation from that Chernobyl, is in everything. In everything that everybody does. There's a certain percentage of bullshit that exists in normal conversations in Hollywood that just doesn't exist in the rest of the country.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
like nice meals and smoke a cigar yeah because it's a private club so you could have a steak some pasta and you're smoking a cigar at the table and everybody's doing it that's awesome yeah it was cool yeah and it was a cool place like oh look at that guy because it was in beverly hills oh it was a power spot i remember like michael rotenberg remember from three arts yeah dave becky he brought me there once and he had the humidor and he was just pointing up he was like yeah it's
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Explain it to people that don't know what we're talking about.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Oh, my God. He shouldn't have told you that. I know. And now you're walking through the streets thinking everybody stares at you is like, that fucking loser. Look at him. Yeah. That's the problem with having that kind of a platform.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
I'm doing... Well, they say that that is 1.25 times more effective than SSRIs. Yeah. Regular exercise.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
I think that's 90% of what's wrong with people. I know that it's such a meathead perspective, but I think everybody should do something physical. I think we have requirements. I know you don't want to do it, but I think we have requirements. Just like you have to brush your teeth. Just like you have to eat food. Just like you have to take vitamins. I think we have requirements.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
I think you have requirements to move or it fucks with your head. And gym class used to be intense.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
We grew up with dodgeball, which was crazy. You were whipping balls into people's faces. Yeah, your heart was racing. Yeah, dude, and you're chasing people with a ball, and if you catch some kid who fucking stumbles, he's getting it right in the face. Right? That game was nuts. And it was co-ed and the girls went down fast.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Yeah. You see the big red welt on the side of the leg? Yeah. The Irish girl with the pale skin gets fucking... It was horrible. It was horrible. She got varicose veins on her neck to this day. Yeah, there's some people that were really good at throwing that fucking dodgeball, too. That shit was terrifying. Yeah, those kids with the long arms. And they got rid of that.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
The hardest thing I ever did when I was a kid was wrestling. I did one year of wrestling, but I couldn't do both that and Taekwondo at the same time. It was just too much, and I had to make a decision. So I picked Taekwondo, mostly because it's easier. Yeah. It was way easier. Right. The training for wrestling was so hard that I would be like, in school, I'd be like... My brain was like half on.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
I was just thinking, oh, my God, we're going to have to run stairs tonight. Oh, my God, we're going to have to do live drills. Fucking firemen carry each other up the fucking stadium stairs.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Yeah. You know who I saw there once? I was kind of a little starstruck. Remember that dude from, what is the New York Blues? What was it? That NYPD Blue. Yeah. Remember NYPD Blue? Yeah, yeah. What's the dude's name? Jimmy Smith? No, no, no, no. The first guy. Jerry Orbeck? The first guy. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Dennis Franz? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. The redheaded guy.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Yeah, I think it sounds crazy, but I think it's a requirement for kids to do something physical and really would help if you did something scary like a martial art. It's just good for developing your brain and developing your ability to do difficult things.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
It's kind of crazy to give a kid a black belt. Yeah. Little kids. Yeah. Because it's not real. Yeah. You know, it's like different schools have different requirements and different belief systems when it comes to that. But somewhere along the line. That's where the term McDojo comes from. Oh. Somewhere along the line, they developed these strip mall karate places. It was in a strip mall.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
That would... They would graduate children all the way up to black belt. And they would also... They made it real easy for you to do it where you didn't spar... And they started doing a bunch of stuff to make it less realistic but less attrition so less people quit and so they make more money. And so like some of these schools that have hundreds and hundreds of students, they'd be making bank.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
And then there was like a place called Fred Valari's when I was living in Boston. And Fred Valari's was a karate – it was a chain. They were all over the place. But the people that came out of there, if they had to fight, maybe some of them would be good, but it's not the best place to learn. It's a big dojo. They taught you karate, but you got to do it in a real place.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
You got to do it in a fucking real place with real savages. That's the only way you're going to get good at it. You got to get to a real scary place where there's a bunch of people, and they're fucking sweating and kicking the bag, and that's where you got to go.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Junior black belt's not a bad thing to call it. As long as you're calling it a junior black belt. It's like you're not a man yet. You don't really have the ability to hurt people. Most people don't really have the ability to hurt people until they're like 15, 16, 17. Then you can really hurt people. And it comes quick. It goes from you being a boy. When you're 12 years old, you are a boy.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
When I was 15, I was fighting men. So from 12 to 15. Yeah. So when I was 15, my instructor was crazy. And he would put you in, like you were young teenagers, he would put you in men's tournaments, 18 and over. Wow. Yeah, just say you're 18. They just put you right in there. Oh, my God. It was terrifying. Terrifying.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
So you go from not being able to hurt people to knocking grown men unconscious in a short period of time. The first time I knocked a grown man unconscious, I was 16 years old. I head kicked this dude, knocked him unconscious. And I was like, this is crazy. Was that legal? Yes, 100%. Yeah, it was full contact. He was snoring. And I was like, this is nuts. And I was 16. Yeah.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
I was like, this is crazy. So that's like a real black belt. I was a black belt when I was 17. But it was a real black belt. I was fighting black belts. I can hurt you. You can't really hurt anybody when you're 12. Yeah. But that's what's so nuts. In five years, you become a fucking machine. In five years. Five years ago, I've been here for four years. I've been living here for four years.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
But from 12 to 17, you're a different fucking human being.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Yes. Yeah. Well, it's also you don't have your responsibilities. You have nothing to do. You have hormones for the first time in your life. So you have all this fucking energy and this fucking rawr.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
And your whole day you can just dedicate to this crazy thing and go around kicking people and learning something and getting better at something where everybody else is just listening to Led Zeppelin and smoking cigarettes and trying to figure out if they're going to go to college. And you're out there doing something nuts.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Fuck, man. I think they tanked that guy. Yes. What the fuck's his name? The guy was good, man. No, he quit because he thought he had a big movie career.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
My life is terrible. Because you're not doing anything. You're not getting excited. You do stuff. How many kids were depressed in the 1920s? They were only depressed if they were starving. They were running around. I think the whole country was depressed. It was the depression. Exactly.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Let's go with the teens. The 30s was the depression, right? So the roaring 20s was before the depression. Everything was going pretty good. Pretty good. But they were ruthless. Yeah. What we call bullying. It was like normal life. Everybody was fucking horrible to each other.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Yeah. They weren't exactly sure they were going to get food.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Yeah. And good luck getting something that has a vitamin in it in the winter. Yeah. Everybody's malnourished. They were horribly malnourished. If you lived in the city in the 1920s and it was fucking 30 below zero out, there's nothing coming in or out. You ain't getting no tomatoes. Like, where are those coming from? You gonna get a horse to drag those from New Jersey?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
It didn't happen. But you can't do that. What's the guy's name, though? No, not that guy. That's Andy Sipowitz. Or that's the character he played, right? But the other guy. Jesus Christ. David Caruso? Is that his name? No. That's the guy who produced the show, right? Oh, I don't know. The guy? Is that his name? David Caruso. It is his name, right? Maybe. But doesn't it say the cast down there?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Like, what are you talking about? Yeah. There's no food here.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
You got canned food. You ate canned food for six months. Oh. Back before shipping, just think how nuts it must have been to live in a city before there were any trucks.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
That's what the Ice House in Pasadena was. Oh, no shit. Yes. Wow. Before the Ice House was a rock and roll, I think it was briefly a rock and roll club, then it became a comedy club. It is the oldest running comedy club in the country. Oh, I didn't know that. Yeah, the Ice House is the oldest. And the Ice House, before it was any of those things, was a place that would store giant blocks of ice.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
So you'd go and get a chunk of ice. They would take some ice from fucking Greenland or some shit. Yeah.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
And they got it to America, the chunks of ice, and they would get it to the cities. You can get it in July. They'd get you a chunk of ice. How? The Iceman coming. How much loss did they have in ice? Like, how big does the ice have to be when you start? And how heavy is that shit to ship it over? Oh, my God.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
If you got a truck filled with ice, okay, like, what year did they start bringing ice around? Let's find that out. Yeah. Like, what year did that become a thing? Because you know it wasn't a thing. Like, during the Pioneer's days, there wasn't an ice truck that would show up. There's no way to get the fucking ice. You know, when those people were trying to make their way across the country, no ice.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
I'm going to guess 1890. I think it's got to be after trucks. I think it has to be because you've got to get it around. You can't just put it on a train.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
1920. I'm watching Peaky Blinders. And as the years go on, their cars get better.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
It's interesting, you know, because it's kind of historically accurate in terms of the cars they were driving at the time. It's really interesting because in the beginning, they just like a bikini top over this shit box, little fucking little rattle machine. And at the end, they have like Bentleys. Yeah. And they close the door and it's luxurious inside and, you know.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
I want to say like 1910. So what year was the first ice delivery?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
In America. When did they start delivering ice? Well, Scandinavia. They just fucking walked outside.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
But I'm saying when were they able to do it in America? Because, you know, even if they do it in England in the 1600s, you probably get a fucking cart dragged by horses from the mountain. Like, how far away is their ice?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Well, now how long can you keep ice? If you have like a Yeti cooler, you can keep ice for about seven days.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
It's pretty amazing. Somebody should write a book about the history of ice. Because those big, thick-ass coolers, like a Yeti cooler that you would take camping- Those are amazing. You can keep ice for seven, eight, nine days, which is nuts. And if you take a Yeti and you take a milk jug filled with water and freeze that and put a bunch of them in there, it'll stay cold forever.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
It'll stay cold for so long. They've got a large block of ice like that.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Oh, this might not be them selling ice. This looks like these guys are going to die.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Take your ice and you put it in an ice box. Ice box used in cafes of Paris in the late 1800s. Wow. Box to store ice. So how did they get the ice to them? Look at that. First recorded use of refrigeration technology dates back to 1775 B.C. in the Sumerian city of Turquoise.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Well, this is the same story because that's cuneiform. That's exactly the same story. It's Mesopotamia, the same country. Ice pits. Ice pits from the 7th century B.C.E.,
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Straw-covered pits. So they recognized that they could kind of insulate it. And you'd sell it at a snow shop. Wow. Ice that formed the bottom of the pit sold at a higher price than the snow on top. Oh, yeah.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
There's not a chance in hell nobody pissed in there.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Like when you go out hunting? You can eat snow. I mean, you're going to have a certain amount of pollution depending on where you are. You're eating what's in the air.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Well, in New York, you have a lot of things going on. And one of the things that people don't take into consideration is brake dust. You have a lot of brake dust. So you have all these cars that are constantly doing stop-and-go traffic. So the brake dust in the air, it's pretty significant.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
That shit that you get in the inside of your wheels, your car wheels, and you have to clean off, that black stuff, that's brake dust. Yeah. So that's spraying out from every car in the 405. So when you're riding your bike, I'm being healthy. You're literally breathing in brake dust, you fucking psychopath. No filter, taking it right in the face.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
That guy should have been a giant movie star. Yeah. Dude, he was really good on that show. But if you have that thing where you're like, fuck this, I'm quitting, I'm going to be a star. Bro, they want you to fucking fall flat on your face. They're like, fuck this guy. There's like 15 more guys like you in theater school right now.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
When was that? 13 feet in diameter and 18 feet deep. Many tines of ice were cut from a nearby river in the winter, transported by wagon to the ice house, deposited into the ice pits. The blocks of ice fused into one giant mass. Gravel at the bottom of the pit drained water from the melting and the thick stone walls and straw insulation minimized heat loss from the ice house above.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Morris claimed he was able to preserve ice from one winter to the following October or November. Wow. That's crazy.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
so utilizing the 40 54 degree constant temperature underground people have been storing ice in caves and pits since at least the roman times that's pretty dope oh look at this it relied on a natural phenomenon but also an overwhelming massive ice good drainage and the super insulation of the building above the ice pit to provide refrigeration through hot philadelphia summers pretty fucking dope
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
16 feet deep and they would just store ice and that's how you get your ice for nine months. That's pretty amazing Yeah, people are pretty goddamn ingenious Mm-hmm, you know human beings ingenuity to figure things out. How do we keep this fucking ice when it gets hot as shit out? Imagine if we can keep the ice. What do we got to do? Yeah, how about dig a hole?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
How cold is it down there seems colder down there? And just experimenting how long you can keep ice. You're putting massive blocks of it from the river and stacking it, and then you're going to sell it. All right. And all these experiments. People are dying. Well, that didn't work. Everybody died. A nice whiskey with a couple of ice cubes in the middle of July. That's worth it.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
You know, with your friends at the country club. Clink. You know how they get this?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Isn't it funny when you go to some restaurants, they give you a hot rock you cook yourself on? What? It's like, ooh, exciting. You never done that?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Yeah, yeah, yeah. They'll give you like a, it'll literally be a hot rock that you can't touch. And then you have little strips of steak and you lay them on the rock. Oh, like a Korean barbecue place. Like Wagyu. They'll do it at sushi places.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Where they give you a hot rock and you put your little strips of beef on there and you flip it over. Isn't it exciting that you're cooking for yourself? And yet it's super expensive.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
No, they don't. You made that part up. But it is funny that it's exotic to cook your own food.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
15 more troubled guys from the inner city that have a gritty past and scars on their face. Go fuck yourself. And that's what they did to that guy.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Korean barbecue's fun, though. Yeah, I like Korean barbecue. Yeah, that's fun. But you know what you're getting into when you get there. It's not one dish that you have to cook for yourself. It's the whole experience. That's fine. Yeah. I know what I'm getting into. But if I go to a restaurant and you give me a hot rock and like, here's your meat. That's the hot rock. Cook it on the rock.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
What the fuck are we doing here? But people love it. Like, I'm kicking myself.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Well, that's Brazilian steakhouses. That's the sneaky move they have is all you can eat. Everything's all you can eat, but the salad bar is too. So before you eat, you go to the salad bar and you're eating fucking art show cards and cheese and this. And then they come by with as much meat as you possibly can eat. And then you have a card. You flip it.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
If it's green on top, they keep coming by with different meat. And when it's red, you tap out.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Because you just start eating. You don't have to wait for the food. The worst is when you're really hungry and you're in a slow restaurant. You're like, oh, my God, this is killing me.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
But if you go to a place like Fogo de Chao, that food's coming right at you.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
You could be stuffed in 10 minutes. All different cuts. Yeah. That's when you got to take a little walk. Yeah. I've never seen anybody go harder than Ari at Fogo de Chao. It is insane how much he eats there. Yeah. Insane. And I go, why? He goes, it's a Jewish thing, free food. I go, are you serious? He goes, yeah, it's all I can eat. I can just keep eating. I go, are you kidding?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
He's like, no, I'm not kidding. I can keep eating. It doesn't cost any more money. That's awesome. He's so funny with it. But he's shameless. Yeah. Shameless. What are the clam chops? Yeah. Bring them over. Yeah. I thought I could keep up with them. I could not keep up with them.

What was giraffe? Giraffe is... Giraffe's a tough one because they seem to not want to fuck with anybody. They're cool. Your baby could feed them at the zoo, you know?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
It's the only animal at the zoo. Yeah. It's a giant fucking animal. It's 50 feet tall. And your two-year-old baby can give it lettuce. And the little tongue comes out, wraps around, and takes the lettuce. And no one's worried about the giraffe doing anything harmful to people. That's a weird one to eat. Like, if I could avoid eating a giraffe, I would like to. Yeah. Yeah.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Well, they stomp things, first of all, because they're like a wild horse. It's like a giant antelope thing. Like, what species is a giraffe? Like, technically, what is it? Is it an antelope? Like, what is it? You know, like a moose is in the deer family.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
A moose is the largest of the deer family. It's like elk is in the deer family. Giraffe is a large African hoofed mammal belonging to the giraffa, genus giraffa, the tallest living terrestrial animal and the largest ruminant on Earth. Traditionally, giraffes have been thought of as one species. Giraffa cameloperalis. Camel. So is a camel related to? It is, right? That's what I remember.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
I think it is related. Okay. Is a camel related? Just put in, is a camel related to a giraffe? What do you think? I think they probably are.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Okay, Giraffa Camelopardalis. No, Camelopardalis. Camelopardalis. Oh, fuck that last word. How does that one go? Giraffes get part of their Latin name, Camelopardalis, from the long camel-like necks and leopard-like spots, but they are more closely related to okapis rather than camels or leopards. So they're not related to camels? Oh, look at that fucking thing. We've seen those before.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
It looks like a zebra fucked a deer or something, doesn't it?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Yeah. I don't think anybody fucks the giraffe. The giraffe has to do the fucking. It has to decide. Yeah. It's going to get down there. That's right. Yeah. You know, trees, like the acacia tree, when giraffes eat them- All the trees that are downwind recognize that a tree upwind is being eaten by giraffes, and so it changes its flavor profile.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
It starts releasing these phytochemicals that makes it taste like shit.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Okay, so it is an antelope species. The weirdest antelope is the one that we have in America. Because we have a Jurassic animal in America, the pronghorn antelope. It's not like any animal in North America. It's literally an animal that was a part of the giant group of animals that lived in North America like 65,000 years ago. But it's one of the rare ones that's still here.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Because it evolved to get away from a North American cheetah. So it runs way faster than anything. Nothing can catch those things. You ever seen them? No. Pronghorns? They're cool as shit looking. But when you see them when you... That's not a good picture though. You want like a picture of the males. Just pull up pronghorn antelope.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
The males have these crazy horns and these eyes that can see like probably... almost to the entire back of like behind their ears. They have a crazy range of vision. It's like a deer size. I've seen them in the wild. They're really cool looking. I've seen them in Utah. Really cool looking. But when you see them run, you realize like, oh, this is not from around here.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
They run so much faster than anything else. So like mountain lions, coyotes, good luck, bitch. You're not catching that guy. That guy's fucking insanely fast. See if you can find a video of one running. So it says, born to race cheetahs. So there was like 65% of North American megafauna was killed off somewhere around 10,000 years ago. And these motherfuckers made it.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
But they're a part of that old group that included like the North American lion, North American cheetahs. There was a bunch of crazy shit that was here. Just 15,000 years ago. Yeah, right. Crazy shit, dude. There was a lion that lived here that's bigger than the African lion. The biggest lion ever was in North America. No shit. Yeah, we had a crazy big lion here. Wow. That's pretty wild.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
It makes sense, though, right? If you think about all the buffalo, there'd probably be a cat big enough to kill that thing. Yeah. You know, some giant ass lion. All right. Like way bigger than the African lions. Yeah.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
But just imagine... having this strange urge to go where that sound is and not having any reference. Like the first time it happens to you, right? Say you're a sloth, you're two, you get your first hard-on, like this is crazy, and then you hear it. Why do I need to go towards that sound? You don't even know what you're doing. You have no idea why you're going there.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
It's God letting you know I could have fucked you, but I'm going to let you slide.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
If the sloth has never been laid before, it has no idea. Why am I being drawn to this sound? Why is this smell? It's all just instincts. That's the noise?

#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Or was that one sound the sloth? Oh, there it is. Oh, that's pretty loud. Yeah, you hear that.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Not just that, to eliminate all the things that make us human, unfortunately.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
like you want the good with the bad or do you what do you want like because the only way to have the good is you gotta appreciate that it's good and how do you appreciate it because you've experienced bad if you only get good you get a spoiled rich kid and they're a nightmare or you get Joffrey the king you know that's what you get yeah right yeah no adversity all the power in the world terrible for everybody right so it's like you gotta have some down
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
It's a part of the program. It's part of the program of becoming a better person. You have experience, good.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
I think even in the world, unfortunately, we have to see evil to recognize that people are capable of evil to really understand what kind of game are we playing here, especially when it comes to international conflicts, especially ones that don't have any day-to-day effect on your life here in America, whether you support them or you don't support them. It's not affecting you, right?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
But it's somewhere. If you were there, if you were in Yemen and you watched those fucking drones launch hellfire missiles into this wedding party, you would recognize... There's a lot going on that's evil. There's good and there's evil and it's real. And there's this weird battle going on with human beings. And I think that battle almost has to take place to motivate people to be better.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
You think that's where there's war, cyclical war? There's no reason why it should exist today. There's no reason why as educated as we are in history that we should be willing as a people, as groups of people to ever invade other places to steal their resources. There's no way we should be doing that.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
At this point, with the kind of communication that human beings have with each other around the world, there should be a way to reasonably communicate and share goods and ideas and compete and take part in each other's commerce. I sell to you, you sell to me, everybody gets along. This should be totally doable.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
2024 the fact that it's not and that no one thinks it's ever going to be is what's terrifying about being a person because that's the thing that keeps you up at night the thing like if one of these fucking assholes one of these greedy cocksuckers that's under the boot of the military-industrial complex decides to push it a little too far and someone decides to shoot a nuke off and then we're in this new thing where cities could just disappear and
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
And why is it always hard? Men's dicks, like when you're a boy, they're terrifying. Like you see some guy pull out his fucking sausage roll when he's pissing right next to you and you're a little kid. You're like, what the fuck does he do with that thing?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
You know, it's not just a September 11th where two buildings disappear and a bunch of people died and it's a horrible tragedy. No, no, no. The whole city gone. Boom. One city down. Now, shut the fuck up or we'll bomb all your cities. Now your power doesn't work anymore. Oh, no. Where do you get your ice?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Well, you better go back to the old ways and get a fucking ice pit because you don't have electricity anymore. That's not hard to do. Like someone could take out our electrical grid pretty fucking easy. And these assholes that are in charge of the world in all countries that are still playing this fucking game of maybe we'll kill you all.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Peter Thiel was talking about that, that it's the ultimate dilemma when it comes to nuclear power because nuclear power is more efficient than other power, and it's actually greener. It's probably safer for the environment, especially with the kind of nuclear reactors are capable of building and designing today.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
But they didn't realize that if you give someone nuclear power, it's really easy to turn that into nuclear weapons. They thought it was a lot harder than it was, and they did it for India. He was saying then they realized India got the nuclear weapon. That's a go. Okay. So now we can't just give everybody nuclear power because then you have everybody has nuclear weapons.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
And what if it's some fucking warlord who's on amphetamines in the middle of the Congo and he decides he's going to nuke his neighbor? People can get crazy, especially if they have a lot of money. You know, they're selling drugs or they're kidnapping people, whatever they're doing. They got a lot of money. And now they have a nuclear weapon.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Do they? Yes. North Korea has nukes. No shit. Oh, they don't have the long range delivery systems. They say they do now. Yeah. Who knows? But there was a famous nuclear bomb that went off that they kind of denied in North Korea a while back. What was that? They think it might have been an accident. It's hard to tell, you know, because North Korea is pretty tight with their propaganda.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
But I remember there was some nuclear detonation was detected in the mountains, and they were trying to figure out if it was on purpose or if it was an underground thing. Because they do underground nukes, too, which is crazy. It just may trigger an earthquake, but let's find out. Let's just detonate a nuke a mile under the surface of the earth.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Like Ari's balls or Joey Diaz's balls. Joey Diaz's balls are like grapefruit in an old lady's pantyhose. Like what the fuck am I looking at? Those are your balls? His balls look like him. Just like cartoonish.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Okay. Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty has been detected seismic activity in more than two dozen stations around the world, confirming that man-made explosions have occurred near North Korea's nuclear testing sites. For example, in 2016, the CTBTO detected a 4.85 magnitude seismic event, which North Korea claimed was a hydrogen bomb test.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
In 2013, the CTBTO detected a 4.9 magnitude seismic event, which is about twice as large as the 2006 test. So they just keep making them more powerful. Well, what magnitude was like Hiroshima? Oh, look at this one. In 2024, South Korea's weather agency estimated that a nuclear weapon blast yield was between 50 and 60 kilotons based on a magnitude 5.6 detection.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
The South Korea's government initial estimate was 100 kilotons, and the NORSAR Seismology Center estimate was 120 kilotons. It's so crazy that a nut, a crazy person, just some fucking maniac dictator has that. Like you could take, oh, you fuck my cousin? Guess what? I'm going to nuke your town. Or they want a legacy. Hiroshima's only about 15 kilotons.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Isn't it funny that Hiroshima gets all the credit, but meanwhile they got the bitch-ass bomb? That's right.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
The little boy. Is that the big one? Is that the one that was on Hiroshima? So little boy was Hiroshima and fat man was Nagasaki. Wow. Imagine you get your fucking, your instructions. You're a fighter pilot and that's what they tell you.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
That's what you're going to do today. Right. What are we doing? You're going to be the guy. What do you mean? You're going to be the guy that drops the bomb.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
We have a nuclear bomb. Yeah. What does that mean? Like, what does this thing do? Well, you're going to drop it, and then you've got to get the fuck out of there.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
I think so. I just poured coffee in it. I'm sorry. No, I'm done with it. I thought it was my coffee. I'm on to coffee now. There's too many mugs. I got confused. I was not seeing my mug because the microphone was, like, perfectly shielding it. I was like, oh, that must be my mug.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Yeah. How complicated is that, too? Because if they don't drop those bombs, we know the bombs exist and no one's dropped them. Do you think it would have been worse if the world didn't see the horrors? You're probably right. Because as they keep getting better and no one's dropped one on anybody yet. And then we're talking shit. I'll fucking do it, man. I'll be the first guy. I'll be the first.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
You know, if Hitler had a nuke, you don't think you would have launched it? Right. 100%. 100%. He's cranked up on all kinds of fucking drugs. They were shooting animal hormones into him. They were experimenting on him. Oh, that's right. I heard about that. This book, Norman Oler. Norman Oler, I've sold your book so many times. It's a crazy story. He was in here explaining it all.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Our penis is awful. Everything about us is gross. Yeah. We're not soft. We're not squeezable and lovable. We're not comforting. We're grunting.

What wouldn't he do? Like, what was he not capable of? Exactly. Exactly.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Trump went over, shook his hand. They're pals. Yeah. Seems like he just needs a friend. He's friends with Dennis Rodman. Maybe Dennis Rodman can be the official envoy. Maybe if Trump wins, Dennis Rodman becomes the official envoy and we fucking settle things out. Imagine that.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
I just sent Jamie something. It's so funny that we're talking about this. I sent Jamie something this morning that I saw where this guy has one of those crazy satellite dishes in his backyard. And he picks up a channel from North Korea. So it's a guy in Ontario. And I sent him a text message.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
No, I sent you something before that. No. I didn't? Oh, my God, I didn't. You moron. What did I do? Did I save it? God, I thought I sent it to you.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Yes, it's Ontario man picks up North Korean television.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
But he'll find it because it's it's becoming viral now because it's really nuts key to see the propaganda So this guy just tunes in to this broadcast of North Korea because he's got one of them Remember when people had those this the guy they had those crazy dishes like that thing in their backyard Yeah, I remember a guy had that I thought that guy was a wizard like look at him He's getting TV from Ireland
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Thick, dense, heavy thing on top of you that can kill you and you want it to fuck you. What? Why do they trust us? Trusting us to not kill you? Yeah, I know. Imagine if every woman could kill you. Yeah. All of them. Every woman that you ever date can literally just strangle you to death. Not a damn thing you could do about it. That's what it's like being a woman. Well, or a gay guy.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
He's watching Snooker on the BBC. So this dude tunes into the North Korean broadcast, like whatever it is that they broadcast through North Korea. And it's all propaganda. And Kim Jong-un is like literally people fall down like he's the Beatles. Like when he shows up.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Yeah, you're fucked. You better cheer. Yeah, the power that he has is just absolute.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Yeah, and not only that, it's a generation after generation thing. Like the children, if you have children in the camp, they're punished as well. Yeah. It's terrible.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
But he likes basketball. He does? Maybe Dennis Rodman can choose it all over.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Send him over there with a bowling bag filled with mushrooms.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
And just those two get together. Yeah. Meet God. Just like he'd fix this thing.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Well, what he's got to do before anything in that country is let those people be free. That is literally like a cult. It's like a cult. The power that that one guy has and that government has over their people. Have you ever seen Yeonmi Park talk about her experiences in North Korea? No. Oh, was she on here?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
She escaped North Korea when she was 13. Yeah, that was crazy. It's crazy.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Well, if we're buying things... I mean, that's one of the weirdest parts about manufacturing going away in America. Because so many of the things... that we buy are from mysterious places.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Like, when people found out about what was going on at the Foxconn factories that were making iPhones, that they had fences and nets all set up around the roof to keep people from jumping off, because so many people- Suicide nets? Oh, yeah. You never seen it? No. Show those images. It's bananas. So instead of fixing it, they said, you know, let's just make it harder to die. Uh-huh.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Like, these people, they just, they don't want to work here.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Oh, my God. That's to stop suicide. Wow. That's how to stop suicide. That's how many people are trying to kill themselves. Because you're working 16 hours a day, you sleep there, they have dormitories, and this is why your phone costs X instead of Y. And if we had... American factories making all these things, you wouldn't have that consideration.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
You would know, oh, they have to abide by regulations.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Yeah. Have you ever seen a video of the Chinese mine collapsing?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
See if you can find that. There's been a few, but there's one really good video of this collapse of this mine. It's fucking terrifying. Yeah. It's terrifying, dude. Because basically they dug into the whole side of this hill and then it just falls on them. Wow. This massive amount of dirt and land and the smoke and the dust. You're like, oh my God, how many people are dead?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Just crushed to death so that you can have an iPhone. Watch this. Look at this. Holy shit. Holy shit, dude. Where is this mine, Jamie? What did it say in the beginning? Mongolia. Mongolia.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Fuck, dude. Fuck. Mines are terrifying. Yeah. You know, you hear noises like creak, creak. And you're like, get the fuck out of here.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you know why they say those people in Appalachia are more violent? Why? Because they come from herding populations. Why? I think it was in, was it in Sapiens or whose book was that in? Maybe one of Malcolm Gladwell's books.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
But basically they're saying that the reason why there's more like when they used to have feuds, you know, like the Hatfields and the McCoys, that type of thing, and they would kill those people.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Yeah. So the idea is that these people who are farmers, well, it's very difficult to steal all your corn. You know, you can't steal your corn, but you could steal someone's sheep, all their sheep. And so if you're a herder, you have to be on guard constantly of thieves who come in and take all your animals all at once. You have to be super violent to protect your flock.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
And those guys came over here with that sort of attitude.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Like if your family relies on those sheep, you have 20 sheep, and you've got to follow them and graze with them. You have to bed down with them.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
You know what it's like, son of a bitch. You were just about to tell me what it was like.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
If someone comes along and tries to – that's why cattle rustlers, they would kill them. They would kill horse rustlers. People stole horses and cows. In the Old West, it was one of the worst things you could do. You steal a man's horse, they'll fucking kill you. You steal a car today, you get a slap on the wrist. There's guys out there that have stole 14, 15 cars. Nobody gives a shit.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Right. That's the payoff. It's mostly kids, though. Mostly kids doing it? Yeah. For joyrides?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
So they take it, go on a joyride, beat the shit out of it? Yeah, they're just driving crazy.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Well, I mean, if you don't have a car and you're just trying to have fun, beat the fuck up this Kia. They're not paying for it. Yeah. That's kind of hilarious. They could just steal Kias. I know. But there's junk. But they're cheap and they don't break that much. If you just need something to get around, it just sucks that they could steal them so easy.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Which – what model? The EcoBoost. Is it the GT, the EcoBoost? You got the six-cylinder engine? I don't know what it is. How is it? It's fun as shit.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Yeah, if you're going to get a Mustang, you've got to get a V8. That's a great Fitzsimmons move.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Yeah. So I don't think it matters anyway. Like how many fucking times you've seen people do stand up from the cellar and you see the brick wall? You don't go, oh, that brick wall. I can't even enjoy these jokes.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
YouTube is the move, man. It's such a good move for getting your stuff out there. You can get millions of views, and everybody can get it. You can get it on your phone. You can share it. That's the thing I love about YouTube is someone can send it to me, like a link to your thing, and I can just watch it right away. Right. Which is nuts. Yeah. There's no other platform like that.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
That's my business. Yeah. That's for the rest of the world.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Yeah, now that you're hooked, I'm going to get you into something more crazy.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Next one. We're going to step you up a little bit.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Yeah. Yeah, you need to feel like... Yeah. You need to feel some real excitement. Feel the rumble of the balls. Yeah, real rumble. You need to hear a V8. You need to roll the windows down and rev it in a parking structure.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
No. No. That was probably my Corvette. No, you had a Mustang. No, I definitely didn't. Oh, no, no, no. I had a more modern Mustang. Oh, maybe that's why. I had a Shelby GT500. It was like a 2012 convertible. It was great. It was very rumbly.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Yeah, that was fun. That car was ridiculous. Any gas at all, when you're making a turn, the ascent kicks out. Any gas at all. It was so overpowered. Yeah. Didn't have the fattest tires in the world, but God damn, it was fun.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
That was the first one of those cars that I had ever gotten, whereas a modern muscle car, I had had muscle cars before, like the old school ones, but the modern ones are even more fun to drive because you can actually drive them. They actually have good brakes. They actually have good suspension. They're designed well. If you get like a modern, like Mustang has a thing called the Dark Horse.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
So the Dark Horse is their like top end car that you can get with a manual transmission. It's fucking great. It's like 500 horsepower. It handles really well. See if you can find Mustang Dark Horse. That's the top of the line before they get into the GT500, which is only automatic. So I think the Dark Horse is the last one that you can get that's got a standard transmission. Right, right.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
I need that. Yeah. If you have a muscle car, I need that fucking... I need that. That's it. That is a sick car, man. That's a sick car. I just love that they're still making cars like this. They're just full-on muscle cars, but with performance suspensions and great brakes now.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Yeah. Well, they're fucking incredible, man. And they've been around forever. I have a 68. I have a 68, like one that looks like Steve McQueen's one from Bullet.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Yeah, that's the one, the 68. It's an American car, like a truly American car. Is it all new guts? Oh, yeah, it's all new. It's for this company Revology makes them. They take it from the ground up. It's basically a 2023 1968 Mustang. Yeah. I mean, even the doors close really well, push buttons start. You feel like you're driving a new car. Yeah. But it sounds right.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
My Tesla's my fastest car, for sure, by far. Not even close. It's 1.9 seconds, 0 to 60. Damn. That's insanity.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
That's true. That's true. But it also gets you away from things. Like if you see something about to happen, you could get out of there quicker. You can merge on the highway instantaneously. You never have to worry, am I going fast enough? Like if I merge in this lane, am I cutting this too close? You can just, you're gone. And are the brakes that much better? No. No.
The Joe Rogan Experience

No, you could get upgraded brakes, though. There's a company called Unplugged that will take it, and they put upgraded brakes. They widen the fenders and put wider tires on it and change the suspension and make it tauter. But the brakes are good. The brakes on – they're not the best brakes on my Tesla. It's not like a Porsche's brakes, like a Porsche with –
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Ceramic, carbon ceramic brakes, those are incredible. If you get a really good modern brake setup, six piston, six front brakes, those big calipers, those things can really fucking slow down a car quickly. So the Tesla's not as good as those, but it's good enough. But it's a heavy-ass car, too. They're having a problem with... Guardrails. I was reading this thing about electric cars.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
They drove one of those Rivian trucks. It just goes right through those guardrails because it's way heavier than a regular car.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
I can't remember what it was, but- You know what's incredible? Have you seen a Lucid? Lucid Sapphire?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Lucid Sapphire is, the company's kind of struggling. They're having a hard time selling these things. But I think they have some Saudi Arabian money now, so maybe they're going to be okay. But they have a thing called a Sapphire that's one of the most insane electric cars ever built. Wow.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
It's like a Mercedes, like incredible attention to detail, like incredible interior, luxurious, and zero to 60 is even faster than my car. I think their zero to 60 is something bonkers, like 1.7 seconds. Whoa. Yeah. Scroll back up where it says the acceleration. Here it goes. Okay. 2.2 seconds to 60 miles an hour, quarter mile of 9.28 seconds, which is bananas for a car. Which, that is so crazy.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Yeah. I mean, it's so fast. But it also has incredible, so it says the timer backs this up with more outrageous numbers, 0 to 60 in 1.9 seconds, and then a 9.05 second at 154 miles per hour for the quarter mile, which is bananas. That's so fast. And it handles really well, great brakes. Have you taken a Tesla onto a track? No. But it's a lot more expensive.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
I think those are like, that one, the Sapphire, I think that's like a quarter million dollars. Where is it from? I believe it's an American car. At least it's made in America. I think they make them in Arizona. Insane car, though. $250,000. Yeah. So they're doing cars like that now where it has all these things, but you still have to charge it.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
But now Samsung apparently is coming out with a new battery for electric vehicles that they've apparently been working on that can charge in nine minutes, and it has a 600-mile range. I heard about that. Yeah. That's a game changer. Game changer. Yeah. Nine minutes is a game changer. Mm-hmm. That's a game changer.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
But I'm going to plug it in and I'm going to run away because who fucking knows how long the amount of juice that's going to that batteries. Who knows if a gas gets loose or who fucking knows, man. I don't want to be nowhere near those batteries. Yeah. That scares the shit out of me. I know.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
You've seen those videos of guys getting in elevators with e-car batteries or e-bike batteries and the batteries explode. Yeah, I've seen that.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
And it blasts fire. It doesn't just light on fire. It blasts fire. It's like it's all condensed in there. And when it goes, it goes like a fucking firebomb. There's a video of a guy in an elevator. It's horrific. He sets it down on the ground and it just like sparks and then just full on fills the elevator with fire. There's nowhere to hide. This guy just cooks alive inside that elevator.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Also, this is this ridiculous thing that we have where we think that that's eco-friendly. I'm going to be eco-friendly. I'm going to drive my electric bike. That is not eco-friendly. You're using electricity. That electricity probably requires... somewhere, somewhere, someone's burning something to make that electricity. Whether it's coal or, you know, it could be natural gas.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Something's happening where there's a combustion and that's how you're getting this electricity. What is that putting into the air? You lazy bitch. Just ride your bike like a regular bike rider, you fucking lazy bitch.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
I changed my mind. Show it to Greg. I was saying don't show it to me, but show it to Greg. Greg needs to see this. So this poor dude, he sets it down. Now look. Oh, it's before he even set it down. Bro, it just, yeah, death. Just death. Yeah. It freaks me out, Jamie.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Yeah. You could have bought those. Exactly. Dom O'Reary used to do that. He used to buy fresh underwear and fresh socks everywhere he went. No shit. Yeah. Yeah. He goes, I don't want to wash them. Yeah.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
That's right. All right. You know the Sheen, is that that clothing company that sells stuff real cheap? I don't know. Ever heard of that? Jamie? Sheen? Yeah. I was just reading something today about people finding letters, like, please help me. I have dental pain, like that kind of shit. I'm forced to be stuck here. Did Sheen get in trouble for using child labor? Is there something about that?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Well, that's the thing, man. It's like if you're buying something from an American store, you have no idea where it was made and how it was made. Conspiracy theory claiming Sheen workers sent pleas for help and clothing has tens of millions of views on TikTok. There's no evidence to support this particular theory, despite criticism of Sheen's business model.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Yeah, but Google Sheen in trouble for child labor or confirms child labor. There was something about that today. There was something in the news, child labor issues. Yeah, okay. This just has two cases. Sheen says it found two cases of child labor in its supply chain last year. So you got to think, right, like they send their stuff to factories to get those factories to make their stuff.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Right. Well, maybe it's not for this company. The company said it did not find any cases of child labor in Q4 of 2023. That's real specific. Did you look?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
It should be made in America. You should be able to buy American stuff. And there's not that many companies that are selling things in America, unfortunately. Tom's Shoes. Tom's Shoes?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
I would imagine any of those like rocky mountain climbing people companies. Yeah. Like North Face. Right. They'd have to be pretty ecological. Yeah. I heard REI is not doing good. What do you mean? The company. Their practices or the company?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
It's the only place where you buy waterproof matches on a whim. I'm like, yeah, I might need those. Right, right, right. I need a canteen that I can also take a shit into. I need a 100,000 lumen flashlight in case there's a fucking raccoon in my garbage. Boom, motherfucker! Do you see those flashlights they have? Oh, yeah. They have crazy flashlights. Yeah, yeah.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Some of those LED flashlights, they're so powerful. It's bananas how fast. But we used to have flashlights. They were bullshit.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
They had that one stupid bulb and that silver reflective area on the outside supposed to amplify the light from this one shitty light bulb.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
I think they all need those now. Well, I think with these really high lumen lights, the LEDs don't draw much electricity.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
My friend Adam Greentree, he does a lot of these solo hunts where he goes into the backcountry for like a month at a time, just him by himself living off the land. And he has this – it's like a tarp you lay out. It's a solar tarp. Like you unfold it. And he uses it to charge his phone, charge his cameras, like anything he wants to charge.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
You have to have something solar. You have to have at least some kind of backup. Like if your generator goes down, you're stuck in the middle of the fucking ocean, you can't even rescue, you know, like send a rescue message.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
In the middle of the ocean, dude. In the middle of the ocean. How about that guy that died in Italy? Do you hear that story? That crazy story? So there's this guy who was on trial. He was some billionaire character who was on trial for... I forget what the charges were, but there was a very low probability of him beating the case, and he wound up beating it. And then...
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
He's on the island of Sicily. He's around Sicily in the ocean. And a water spout out of nowhere hits his boat, sinks him and kills him. I believe killed his daughter and maybe a few other people as well. And then some people swim to safety. But what are the odds that this water spout takes out this one guy's yacht or...
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
right after this guy gets off on apparently, allegedly, ripping off a bunch of very wealthy people. Oh, yeah. Now his co-defendant gets hit by a car. He gets killed too. No shit. Nothing to see here. Not in Sicily. That shit never happens in Sicily. I don't know if the co-defender got killed in Sicily. The co-defender might have got killed somewhere else. But I know they're both dead. Damn.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Quick. Yeah. It makes you wonder. Don't fuck with rich people. Do not. Yeah. Because they can make someone rich to get rid of you. Like, how much do you think you're worth? Like, if someone's worth $80 billion and you rip them off for like $5 billion, you're like, I want this motherfucker dead. And you go for a walk on a beach with a guy. And everybody leaves their cell phones at home.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
You explain how it's all going to get done. And then a water spout just shows up in the middle of the ocean. What are they using? Satellites? What access to fucking killer weather technology do they really have? Yeah. What do they have? Like, let's assume this is a conspiracy because it might not have been. It might be God.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
God might have said, fuck this guy, which is horrible because he also said, fuck the guy's daughter and a bunch of people working on the boat. But if God did that, it's pretty crazy, right? That's one option. One option is it's some strange karma that God just decided it's your time. Another option is just complete coincidence. Just this took place to this guy.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
He's just on the ocean and shit happens. It's just crazy just circumstance and people are going to attribute it to a conspiracy. The other possibility is that they can do that, that some force in the world has the kind of technology that can direct a storm to a very specific spot, that can create a water spout. Like seeding the clouds or something.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Something probably more complicated than that, like some sort of a direct energy weapon. Like something where they can do something with the ionosphere, do something with lasers. I don't know what the fuck they're using. But some kind of technology that can amplify weather and point it to a very specific place, which is crazy to think. Like imagine if there's a hurricane machine out there.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
If we know that, like, Japan starts talking shit, oh, yeah?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
So if you don't know that we're creating the hurricane, you think you just got hit by a hurricane. Nice. Like, how much control do they have over storms?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Probable that offenses were committed because of the way that people set the boat up. Yeah, they're not even positive.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
So imagine if you do have control of the weather, what would you do? You'd start a storm first. Can't just have this water spout appear out of nowhere. Let's start a fucking storm. You guys out there boating? Okay, let's start a storm. Can they start a storm?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Well, cloud seeding is real. They do it in Abu Dhabi once a week. So they have, it rains once a week in Abu Dhabi because they're insanely wealthy, right? And they're like, wouldn't it be nice if it rained? So let's fucking make it rain. So there's chemicals you spray in the clouds and it's something about it changes the weight of the water vapor. But there has to be clouds.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Yeah, I think there has to be clouds. But there's kind of always clouds, like some clouds. In Dubai, though, recently, they had a disaster where they fucked up and they over amped and they got more rain than they've had in seven years. And so there's like supercars like floating down the street, like mad flooding because they don't really have the infrastructure to deal with that kind of water.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Like just pouring down. Did you see any of that footage? No. I'm pretty sure this has all been they've all tied this into cloud seeding. See if that's true. But the footage of the flood is fucking bonkers.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Um, I wonder if that's true. I wonder if there's more up there than we think there is. And I wonder what the negative consequences are. Like, does it have an effect on other parts of the world? So the heavy rainfall continues to pound UAE. Several flights canceled. So it was, I had some friends that were over there while this was happening. They said it was nuts.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Like they're just not designed for that. So buildings were leaking, like everything was flooded. Like these buildings are not really set up. Look at all those cars like sunk underwater. These buildings, some of them are not really set up. Look at the fucking airport. That's nuts. It's like a swimming pool. They're not set up for this kind of rainfall or any kind of rainfall.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
They probably did a shit job building them. They didn't weatherproof them. They didn't think it was going to rain.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Yeah, but this is like raining for days. So was it because of cloud seeding? Does it say? Google that. I'm pretty sure they attribute it to the cloud seeding, which is nuts that they can do that. That's wild.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
So that's kind of simple, though. That's not starting a storm, and it's certainly not directing a storm. So it makes you wonder, like, OK, that seems pretty straightforward how they do the cloud seeding. But is there any sort of technology that's even feasible that would allow you to manipulate the weather? So if we understand the conditions in which certain storms emerge. Like hurricanes.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
It has to do with the warming of the ocean, like the ocean water. And then a cold front coming in above it. There's a bunch of different factors that happen. Like would it be possible to mimic those conditions or to artificially stimulate those conditions? Is it even feasible? Like, how would you warm the ocean? That's insane. It's so big.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Right, because if I was working for the UAE, I'd be like, I don't know what the fuck you're talking about. Cloud seeding? Yeah. Like, you know how much insurance is involved in all this? I don't know. This just happened. Do you know how much money is lost there? Just think of that. Think of how much repairs, how many cars got drowned. I didn't do it.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
What did people used to do when they didn't have covers over their dick and they had to run through the woods? Right. That's a real problem, man. Yeah. Ow! Ow! If you have pants on and you run through the woods, your dick gets whacked by twigs and shit, but it's kind of okay.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
I don't know what the fuck you're talking about. Cloud seeding? What is this, a science fiction movie, bitch? It's 20 people.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
They're pretty good. Yeah, it's real hard with anything that's a corporation. If you really want to get news, I get some unbiased news. There's a thing, what is it called, 1492? Is that what it's called? Oh, yeah. Well, it's basically just fact-driven news stories, no editorial bend to it whatsoever. Not owned by a board that's on one side or the other. Exactly, exactly.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Hmm. but somehow i trust like bbc's pretty good guardian bbc but anybody that's got some sort of an agenda any one way or the other you you know Whether it's to minimize one person's activity or maximize another person's. Just tell me what happened. Tell me who did what and what took place. And just don't give me any words like far right. Don't say extremist. Don't say any of that stuff.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Just tell me what a human being did. What another human being did. What started this?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
It's all just super low frequency information. I used to love those fake ones. Which ones were the ones that were talking about Bigfoot and UFOs all the time? Oh, the National Enquirer? No, not that one. National Enquirer was like gossipy stuff. Oh, the something.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
They had the worst Photoshop pictures. And I'm like, give me that. What did you do?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Just let me see some of those. Look at the bat child. Look at that. Look at the bat child found in cave.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Does look like Chelsea a little bit. There's bat child found in cave. Look at that. Bat boy leads cops in three-state chase. First photos of heaven. They're amazing. It's amazing. Computer virus spreads to humans. Princess Diana's alive. Batboy signed it in New York City. Batboy got a lot of coverage. He must have sold a lot of episodes. Pregnant man gives birth.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Look, that was ridiculous back then. Now it's like, of course. Of course he gave birth. Oh, my God. There's Bigfoot runaway bride.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
It's a drawing. It's Bigfoot with a fucking veil on. Oh, my God. Fat Cat owns 23 old ladies. Titanic captain found a lifeboat. Did you see that one?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
A girl got kicked in the pussy the other day in a UFC fight. Sorry for using the term pussy. Ladies. Ladies. In this term, it's really not a pussy. It's a woman's vagina. Yes cage fighter Yes, and they went down and you know They stopped the fight and give the person time to recover and I thought about I was like, that's interesting because
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
It's so funny. Oh, they were so good. They were so good. Yeah. It was just ridiculous enough. They were like, give me that. Yeah. Give me that. What did you do? You son of a bitch. It was the onion before the onion was.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Oh yeah, there was always Bigfoot stories. A lot of Bigfoot stories. Oh, Jackie with crippled Kennedy, proving he didn't die in Dallas. He just got crippled. Yeah, getting shot in the head will make you crippled on your... It's funny, just circle a blurry photo. That's him.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
the fuck you know that's him it's so stupid they just lied to you but they lie the lies are so ridiculous it's like it's okay yeah like some kind of fraud we allow like we allow like uh preachers that like televangelists you know like the preachers about fucking religion oh yeah
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Yeah. Was the Ten Commandments always there, or are they trying to reintroduce it, or are they trying to introduce it?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
ACLU sues over Ten Commandments in courthouse, saying biblical text violates religious liberty. And this is from 2001. Now, this is in the last year. Are you sure you haven't been just on the liberal news report? Positive. Probably get it in Venice. You guys all lie to each other. It's all about homeless people and the Ten Commandments.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
It stood on grounds between Texas State Capitol Building and the State Supreme Court Building. The monument was one of several scattered around the Capitol grounds. Its location did not draw special attention to it. That's not it. You know what scholars from Israel think the Ten Commandments were? What? Moses and the burning bush, like that whole thing.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
They think it was DMT. They think that the acacia bush is very rich in DMT.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
And they think it's indicative of a psychedelic experience. Instead of smoking this compound, it's a burning bush. Like this is how you would get that analogy, especially when you're dealing with a story that's told over a thousand years before it's ever written down. Yeah. And it's translated in all these different languages.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
But if you break it down to what it is, these scholars now believe that it's some sort of a psychedelic experience where he comes back and said, God has given us these rules to live by.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Yeah. Well, I think all of it, if you stop and think about it, I always bring this up, but it's a good point. Like in the beginning there was light. Well, isn't that the Big Bang? I mean we believe in that. Like all – Scientists that are studying the origins of the universe believe in the Big Bang.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
There's new people like, well, not new, like Sir Roger Penrose, who has been on the show before, who now believes that the Big Bang was the end of another universe and that it's probably this endless cycle. And it's not as simple as there was nothing and then there was something, that there's always this expansion and contraction and then these cosmic events take place and they birth new universes.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
I guess it's just you can't hit genitals, but there's a giant difference between balls. Girls can take a pretty good shot to the pussy. Yeah, unfortunately. Yeah. Yeah, like if they fall and it hurts, just like it hurts your ass bone.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
That's all completely speculative, right? What they do know is what they can see, right? So what they can see is some sort of evidence, some sort of a background evidence of this event that took place. They're still arguing about how much time ago it took because of the James Webb telescope. They've seen some structures and some galaxies that –
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
are so far away, they shouldn't have been able to form in the amount of time that it took from the current understanding of the Big Bang. And some people want to push the Big Bang back 22 billion years now instead of 13 billion years. But it could be that that's just as far, because that's 22 billion years it takes for light to get there. to reach us.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
But if it's 100 billion years, that shit's never going to get there. We're never going to see it. So if it goes back further and further than that, it's just not available to us. We don't have the ability to see it yet, but we might.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Now with the James Webb, they can see far further back and with new telescopes they invent and new methods of detection, they might be able to realize there's no end to this thing and there was no beginning and it just keeps happening.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
And no, it's not infinity. It's silly. But it's also even if there wasn't. The universe is so crazy, just what we know. Even if we said, oh, it's only 13.7 billion years old. You don't even know what that means. You know how fucking big that is? And by the way, we're not at the end of it. It's not like it blew up and we're this far away and we look back, that's what we see.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
No, it goes that far that way too. So it's fucking immense. Yeah. Beyond imagination. You could put it into numbers. You could write it down. Billion this, that. It doesn't even register. You can't imagine how long it would take to get there. You can't imagine if you're going to speed of light something taking 13.7 billion years to arrive at.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
It hurts if you hurt your dick. That hurts. But the balls. Yeah. I was trying to explain to my wife and daughters were asking me what it's like to get kicked in the balls. Yeah. And I was like, I've been kicked in the balls a hundred times, at least. I've been kicked in the balls so many times because I grew up kicking. So I got kicked in the balls by dudes who were really good at kicking. Yeah.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
It's so big that even if that's it, if that's the whole thing, even if it's finite, even if they define the universe as a structure that's finite and it is X amount of billion years of light year travel until you reach the end of this structure, maybe it rotates into itself, who knows? It's still insane!
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
So the idea that it doesn't have a boundary, that there's more of them, that there's a multiverse, that there's an infinite number of them. One of the theories is that in the center of every galaxy there's a supermassive black hole, and if you go through that supermassive black hole, you will find another universe with hundreds of billions of galaxies.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Each one with a supermassive black hole in the middle of it, go through that, hundreds of billions of universes, like that it's never-ending and fractal.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Probably for sure they can. Yeah. I mean, we were talking the other day, I had this guy on, and we were talking about imagine if you were living in the Roman Empire and you showed them a garage door opener. They'd be like, what the fuck? This is crazy. You're nowhere near that thing. You press a button and it goes up? Yeah. That's nuts. Yeah.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
It's a radio frequency, something you can't see, feel, or touch. We think it's so crazy, but it might be how we travel through space in the future. Just zip to some new spot.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
It'd be super normal for us. Like, what, are you going to fly there like an idiot with a jet engine? Yeah. You're going to need stopovers to refuel. Yeah, and you hope you don't get hit by a micrometeorite along the way and you get annihilated. Yeah. You hear about those people that are stuck in the space station? Yeah. Bro, Elon has to go rescue them. Is that what's going to happen? Yeah.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
They're having failures with their jets. Apparently Boeing at one time was talking shit about SpaceX, and now Elon's talking shit to Boeing. Oh, that's great. Because they're going to have to go rescue those people.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Yeah. That would be nice. I don't know. But I know you can't stay up there too long. It's really bad for you.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Bro, when do they run out of food? How much food do they have up there? How can they have enough food? How is it even possible? What do they do with their shit? They shoot it out into space? Can't do that. What if it lands on somebody? Kill them.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Really? Yeah, they dropped it out of planes. Frozen turds have come through people's fucking house roofs. Yeah. Like a brick of shit from the sky. Boom! Imagine you're watching the Super Bowl. Like, this is amazing! A brick of frozen shit from 180 passengers comes crashing through your kitchen roof. Damn. Who do you call for that?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons
Oh, my God. In 2025. We are in August right now of 2024 talking about this.
The Joe Rogan Experience

There's been many times in my life where I wasn't sure if my dick was going to work anymore. One time I got kicked in the balls so bad that one of my nuts swole up. So my right nut, I think it was my right nut, swole. It was in a tournament. Yeah. I... I threw a kick and this guy threw a kick under my kick and slammed it into my cup. And this is a guy from the Korean national team.

Well, do you know that the Apollo missions were the only time that they ever sent a living thing into deep space and had to come back alive? What? Yeah. They never sent anything into deep space. They never sent a monkey to the moon and had it come back alive to see if the people could survive. The first time they did it was with people. Wow. Yeah, seems odd. Damn.

Seems odd that no mission other than the Apollo missions has ever been past Earth's gravity. So the way all of these missions, like the space station mission, they're all like 300 miles, 350 miles. Space shuttle missions, everything's inside 300 miles because it's inside the Van Allen radiation belts.

So this is this immense band of radiation that covers the Earth that lasts, I forget how many thousands of miles, but it's outside of where all the space travel is. Yeah. Except the Apollos. They went through it. No problem. Yeah. And they tried to blow a hole through it once. They actually ignited a nuclear bomb in space. It was Operation Starfish Prime.

So they shot a nuke up into space to try to clear a pathway so they could shoot a rocket through it and have no problems. And it made it way more radioactive. It had the opposite effect. Instead of blowing a hole through it, it just supercharged the belt. No shit. Yeah, it was a crazy experiment. The idea that they would shoot a rocket into space and blow up a nuclear bomb.

Hey, Joe, it's the replacer. Yeah, no, you. Hey, I'm going to take it from here so you can enjoy some Call of Duty Black Ops 6. Great. Now, listen up, folks. Life can be chaotic, but you shouldn't have to miss out on the latest Call of Duty just because you've got, I don't know, responsibilities. That's where I come in. I will handle the boring stuff like work, chores, even podcast ads.

Oh, Theo. He did it with him and Joey Diaz. Every time he wins an award, he gets up there and he's like, I just want to thank. Right now, there's somebody stuck under a bridge. There's somebody out there who's got an 11-foot and a size 8 tennis shoe. I was a maitre d' at a macaroni grill. And now I'm a gravel wall.
