I think every religion's different. I think there's some people who are really socially conservative religious that are opposed to IVF in general because embryos are discarded or they die and that kind of a thing. Right.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
So, like, it's a bad, I mean, I'm not, I don't know if that's obvious to you. Stretching? That I'm not Catholic. I know, but exactly, yeah. Stretching is the devil? But there's something, I don't know. Can you do stretching for Jesus? Yeah.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
I am not Catholic. I'm not religious at all anymore, which is why I think that I'm always looking for things. I'm always looking for a way to be religious or in some sense spiritual. I've never done ayahuasca. I really want to do ayahuasca. I've done other things that have been beneficial to me, but I'm searching for that thing. I'm searching for that.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
I want to believe in something greater than myself. I think that's normal for people.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
I'm not that. I'm just agnostic. I'm kind of like, who am I to say what there is and isn't?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Well, thank you. I get to be into trouble sometimes, but it's much less stressful than the alternative of having to worry about things being uncovered that I've been hiding from people. I mean, a lot of times those are the creepiest people. Oh, for sure. The people that are, everything's great, everything's perfect. It's like for sure.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Yeah, the craziest, and this is the most normal thing to do is get pregnant, but it's the craziest trip I've ever had. It has to be. All I did was have sex. I didn't pick up a license, and now there's going to be a baby in my apartment.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
That's what's going to be crazy. This is going to be a human that's going to have opinions, and it's going to tell me no. They're going to be mad at you. Yeah, I'm going to be like, I didn't smoke any fucking cigs. I smoked no cigs, and now you're trying to tell me no? I'm going to be like, I should have smoked a pack a day with your ass talking to me like that.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Yeah, exactly. They're going to find. Why did you make me?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
It's your fault. No matter what, the kid's going to find a way to hate you. Right. Like that's going to find and find a way. I don't I don't know. But it's it's the craziest. It's the craziest trip. And I think it's also that's part of this. I'm always like looking for I'm just like looking for meaning. I want there to be something so badly.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Well, I think that's why people like psychedelics. I think that's why, I mean, it definitely can make you view the world in a different way.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
And then compared to all the other drugs, I mean, the worst drug I ever did was Accutane. It made me want to kill myself. This was last summer. I mean, I actually was suicidal. I went off of it.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
The way more dangerous drug for me than shrooms, Accutane.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Me too. My brain, I finally decided I was crying on the bathroom floor because I was going to die and everyone I know is going to die. And again, always been true. Always been true. My husband found me on the bathroom floor. And I stopped taking it about a month before it worked out of my system. And then I went back to normal. But at that time, I was like, I've lost myself.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
I experienced that I experienced my brain being hijacked in a bad way by a drug for for zits I was like I'll just and and I was you know you can't drink on it so I was like I was having these extreme reactions stone cold sober but I was on the show sometimes and I would be so depressed and people would be email I'm getting emails like you're like acting like a bitch or you're this and that and it's like no no you know I want to kill myself I don't think I'm too good for people I want to kill myself and it's just scary it was very scary
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Well, I'm glad you got off it. Yes. That one I'm never doing again.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Do you have a copy of it here? I have it outside. I left all my shit outside. No worries. It's called I Used to Like You Until. It's called I Used to Like You Until. And it is all about how one single thing should not be enough to write another person off. It's about independent thinking. It's about connection. And I spill a lot of tea on myself in the book. So the point, I'm naked on the cover.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
My body looks nothing like this anymore. But covered in hate mail with the idea of vulnerability in the face of overwhelming hatred. That's great. So I, you know, I had the idea of. And you read it, too. I did read the audio book. Fantastic. Thank you.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
I'm talking about a lot of very personal things in the book.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Thank you for having me. It was a lot of fun. Me too. I agree.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Yeah. Yeah. There was a concern about that. Right. Where if I don't again, this is there was a concern about I don't know if it was ever really a thing, but it was a concern about it happening potentially where if abortion was illegal, they could get data from these these apps that track your period. Right.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
And I have one because it now tracks my it tells me like your baby's the size of a pomegranate this week. And I'm like, oh, that's so cute. Right. But if let's say I it was telling me all that and I like miss my period, then it could be watching me to see if I was obtaining an abortion pill online or something like that. Right. If my period was.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
The app read wrong. The app saw that you missed your period.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Yeah. Well, we have no privacy. And it's one of the scariest, biggest issues for me. It's a giant issue. It's just how many things between banks and the government be able to look at. They were never supposed to be able to look at all the things that they're looking at.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Mm-hmm. That's my nightmare, is having my private text messages.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
That's my nightmare. I mean, the things I text to people, every time that happens, when people's texts get public, I'm more horrified that the texts get public than most of whatever's in the messages. It's such an invasion. It's such a violation.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Exactly. A lot of times you're just doing a bit. It's something between friends. And if you could see so many of my group chats, if you could see with comedians, with people, you could see what we're saying. I mean, it'd be horrible. It'd be over for me. I'd have to start a new life under a new name. But why?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
It is stupid. But I think more people think it's stupid, but fewer people will admit they think it's stupid because they're worried about it.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
I think it's people who, I mean, I'm always more interested in examining that. There's this thing now where it's people are trying to cancel people over things that they said or tweeted or posted when they were 13 years old. Well, I can help you with that. It's real simple. But they've never reached their potential that they thought they would reach.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Maybe. I dated a Call of Duty guy once. It's a little triggering for me. And I was in my early 20s. I'm like young and beautiful and sitting there. And then he's like on his video. And I married a man who fought in an actual war. So that was much better for me. I'm like, that's good.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Yeah, exactly. I would hate my husband if he didn't go to war, actually, because he was he's, you know, like a good man from a good family who was, you know, had a good upbringing and went to boarding school. And I'm like, if he didn't have any the trauma of the war, I wouldn't like him. That's funny.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Those are the people that are in my Instagram. Like, we feel bad for your husband. You're disgusting. Yeah. Oh, I mean, it's funny. It's come across it sometimes, but I don't.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
But sometimes I get, you know, emails that they make me laugh. I mean, sometimes I see things that make me laugh.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Well, I would, I mean, I do well, right? I sell out shows. I'd sell out all the shows and faster. If you were all MAGA? I would sell more books. I mean, the platform that I'm on every single night, the people who are watching are MAGA people. And so if I were, you know, if money was the thing I was the most after, I would be an idiot. Maybe I am an idiot. I don't think you would. I can't do it.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Right. Yeah. Yeah. I just couldn't do I just I couldn't. I mean, again, if you actually are super MAGA and you love Trump and you're one of those people, then good for you. I have no judgment of that. That's fine. Live your life. Have fun. But can you please be OK with the fact that I'm not the way that I'm OK with you?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
It's not surprising. And of course, the Kamala is completely just an idea that's been manufactured. It's been amazing. It's been so insane to watch. I mean, the Joe Biden thing, I think, is a perfect example.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
The fact that that went on for so long is a perfect example of the how the the you know, the part is the hyper partisanship allows things to happen because Joe was very clearly not OK for a while.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
I mean, anybody who was watching that and just seeing it, if that's your grandpa, if that were my grandpa, my grandpa's almost 90, so he's got like 10 years on the guy, I'd be like, Papa, we need to go to the hospital. You're not okay. But that became a Republican thing to say. So people weren't saying it until they couldn't possibly hide it anymore. Right.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
So I think that's a perfect example of how partisanship leads to some really stupid shit. But I was actually shocked they threw her in there. And just right before that, people were saying worst vice president ever. Obviously, you know, not popular now. Now she's you know, she's brat. Like that's Charlie XCX is trying to make it cool. It's like she's a DA. She locked people up for cocaine.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
She's not for weed. She's not brat. It's just been so crazy to watch. People are so excited and they don't even know what they're excited about.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Yeah. yeah and people get really mad people get mad at me for working at I mean even in my personal life for working at Fox News people are like how could you work I'm like what do you mean
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Yeah, it's exactly what it's like. And I still have no idea. She could win.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
It was nothing that she did. She hadn't even spoken at all for several days. And people are like, Kamala, Kamala. I mean, the cover of the Time magazine without an interview is crazy. I mean, I'm so jealous. I can't. After I give birth, I'm going to just have my husband bring me a pack of Zins. Immediately. Nicotine's the best for writing, for working, for everything.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
problematic? I had a problem with vaping for a while. It was bad. I'd be in public with multiple vapes and I was like, Kat, you can't. You can't be doing that.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
They're so addictive. I was one of the first vapers. I quit for... I'm serious. I quit.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
I did. Lunchboxes. I had a laboratory in my house. He was like, I was seeing all my liquids.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
It just rips harder. I used to love to blow fat clouds. I had to get a dental procedure done, something super minor, whatever. I couldn't vape for 24 hours. I put so many nicotine patches on my body and I still didn't even feel anything. It should have killed me or at least made me throw up. And I was like, ugh. And then I still kept vaping.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
I eventually, when I quit vaping and I was using pouches to help me quit vaping, And I was using 12 milligram pouches. I try those. I can't do it.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Most decent people, which is why I'm saying I had a problem and I quit. Now I got down to six and now zero, obviously, because of this baby.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Yeah, I can't wait. I want to get six. I can't wait. I'm going to be in that hospital bed. I'm going to be like... Like, I can't wait. But you can't because it'll get in the milk. That's what I... Can you pump and dump, right?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Okay, I'm gonna try to breastfeed, okay? Oh, you should definitely breastfeed. I know I should, but it's like I've already had nine months of no nicotine. That's the thing that's the hardest for me.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
In college I smoked when I drank and in college I drank a lot because I was in college.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Vaping comes along probably so when I was like mid-twenties and I did it for eight years.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
I started with the blue cigs and then they just weren't hitting hard enough for me anymore. I was ripping multiple blue cigs and then I love the jewel. I love I mean, so there's these things in Detroit called breezes. I don't know if you can get them other places, but I know you can get them, and I'm from the Detroit area.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
And I was having, I don't know, this is illegal, so I probably shouldn't say this, but my brother may have been sending shipments in to me, you know, when they were illegal in New York, because the breezes were the best. Why were they illegal in New York?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
For a while, well, they weren't sold in New York, but for a while there was supposed to be, the jewels, rather, the jewels were illegal in New York. And then we weren't sure about what was going to be legal in New York. Do you remember that, when they made jewel pods illegal?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
And that was my shit. The mango jewel. When you get a fresh one and it makes that crackling sound. And honestly, if I found a mango jewel pod somewhere in my house, I would have. I don't know. Not when I'm pregnant. That's the thing that sucks is like, I love this baby so much that I've not even met yet. That's wonderful. Nothing. It's like so real commitment.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
I know, but it's so weird for my brand to love this. I never thought I'd have kids. I never thought I never wanted to. And then I now I'm like, my baby's the size of a cucumber.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
I'm a better, both my books I wrote on nicotine. I had nicotine gum in my, I just want to like have something in my jaw.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
I think nicotine. I mean, I'm really limited. I mean, I can't, it's like, you can't really do stimulants when you're pregnant. You can't do anything when you're pregnant. I can have 200 milligrams of caffeine a day.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
I had to go cold turkey. Wow. Yeah. So what was that like? I was a bitch. For how long? A couple weeks. It was really rough. Wow.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Yeah. Well, I had a doctor tell me that I probably couldn't get pregnant without medication. That if I took medication, I would have a 10% chance of getting pregnant. Naturally, as they say. The sex way. I was just living my life. And then I didn't feel good. And then I took a test and I was like, here we go. And we wanted kids. We were planning on starting IVF.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
I would go to the gym, and I'd come back, and I'd put a nicotine pouch in. I mean, I really like nicotine a lot.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
I used to be vaping on airplanes, which is... Oh, my God.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
I would bring a blanket with me on the plane, and I would sit underneath it like a psycho. Thank you. Like a psycho. But they're like, you know, what are they going to do? They can't be like, ma'am, you're not allowed to be under a blanket. I mean, I looked like a mentally ill, like, Pete, they're probably watching me.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Oh, no, no, because I would also hold it in as long as I could to get the biggest rush. I would hold my breath. I'm telling you, this was bad. I've never seen anybody as bad on it as I was, which is why I can never try crack because my life would be over in three days. I would love crack.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
I mean, I couldn't handle the nicotine vapes. So crack, probably not. But again, yeah. So when did you move to robots? I moved to robots after the Juul became illegal. And I couldn't get the mango. So I was trying to get the same rip I could get off of Juul.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
I always mix that. And it was like stick. And they would explode and be sticky everywhere. And sometimes it would explode in your mouth. And you get that like...
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
I would have loved that job. I would leave my life behind. It moves you. You mean I can just rip vapes all day?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
That's the thing is I mainly felt like if I get lung cancer, I will feel stupid. You know, I'll be like, how could I possibly have thought I could get away with doing all this and not have something bad happen?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Of course. Yeah, of course I'm here, right? Of course I'm going to do this.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Yeah, I was. Well, I mean, I believe there's a lot of studies that show it is way better than cigarettes. But it's also the way that I've used cigarettes. I can still, when I go to Europe, again, not when I'm pregnant, but I can still go to Europe and smoke cigarettes only in Europe and come back and not smoke cigarettes. And there's immediate downsides to cigarettes. You got to go outside.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
You smell bad. I was smoking the vape, hitting the vape when I was in the hospital. I had a near-death experience in 2020. Do you know about my shit? I had a shit bag. No. What happened? I know you're jacked, but you're not squeamish, right? No. Okay. So I had a bowel perforation. I had really bad stomach pains.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
And I went to the hospital, and they told me I needed an ileostomy, which is a shit bag. They take your small intestine, they pull it out of your stomach, and you have a bag. So I had to have that surgery in November of 2020. And I was in the hospital, and I was ripping the vape for sure. Oh, my God. I have my intestine hanging out of my body, and I'm ripping a vape.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
I had it for about five weeks, and I didn't tell anybody. I wrote about it in my first book, and that's how everybody kind of found out that that had happened to me. And it was bad. It was really, really rough.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
and then i got it reversed that's good i got it reversed but i had complications oh that's not so i had complications where i was gushing blood on my ass there's a loose staple and i needed a transfusion guess which day that was that i had that bad thing happen what day january 6th oh my god like that january the january 6th oh my god and i didn't talk publicly about this for a long time so whenever i was on the news like people would ask me it comes up a lot
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
And, like, I'd be thinking about... You. Yes. Yeah, you almost died. You're bleeding out of your butt. Literally, I will never forget this. I've never talked about this before, actually, this specific thing. I will never forget this. On January 6th, I'm all doped up, right? If you have stuff like that, they'll let you have a Dilaudid drip. I'm, like, all doped up. Whee!
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Yeah, I tweeted or I posted on Facebook, tweeted, whatever, posted something along the lines of... This is actually my personal Facebook. It's shared, too. And it was like, the news is stressful, turning on a Ted Bundy documentary to relax, something like that.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
And I looked at my personal Facebook and some dude who I knew from doing open mics in Baltimore had commented like, oh, are you stressed out about, you know, basically that like that you did this, you know, because I work at Fox that I did. And I'm sitting there on a bucket. in a hospital with blood gushing out of my ass.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
And this dude that I did open mics with eight years ago is trying to tell me that he's having a bad day.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Right, which again, I was in the hospital having, you know, I would say I had a worse January 6th than a lot of people.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
I mean, it's not a hot take that everything's so divided now, right? I think a lot of people have noticed that. But I think I'm really in this unique position where I kind of get it from both sides because I'm independent politically. I just want very small government, which I think puts me at odds with both parties sometimes, depending on what the issue is. So...
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
from this bucket where literally the most humbling probably moment of my life where I was like I am a fragile fragile human being right there's some crazy lady next to me too she was some lady she was like 90 years old and you know she thought that they want to give her potassium supplements so she was talking out loud about how they're trying to poison her with something I had her comment because we were all watching the January 6th it was on in the hospital
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
we were all kind of watching it together and she was like well everybody loved trump at first and now they don't and she was like everybody those are all russians at the capitol and i was like and i'm sitting there on my bucket like a foot away from this woman and i'm like like i'm like she's talking to me asking her questions i was i would have given up on any idea of a real conversation there's not this is not a real conversation you're not talking with this woman no you can't get frustrated those aren't russians
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Yeah, the hospital was a bad... I mean, it's always a bad... It's like a bad hang. It's horrible.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
well i had the when i was in the hospital for my first surgery there was this lady who was like she was farting really loud and then she was singing she was like giving glory to god for her farts that she was oh boy so i was turning up my forensic files as loud as i could just like cranking it up and she asked me if i could turn it down and i already had this is the day of my first i'd already been having like the worst day of my life so i was like how the fuck could you ask me to but then we wound up talking all night like and i have her number on my phone still because
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Because when you're in a hospital and I was by myself because this was during COVID and in New York, my husband was allowed. He could come visit for I could have two visitors a day, maximum two people for maximum two hours and not past 6 p.m. So I was scared. I had this near death experience and then complications on the reversal. I was alone the entire time.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
And you need, I mean, and again, I'm lucky because I lived through it, right? There's people who died, obviously. It was just so horrible and scary to do that by myself. And also, hospitals, you need an advocate. Because I was so doped up. They weren't like, my sheets weren't being washed as much as they should have been. I couldn't do, you know, it's just like you need someone.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Somebody needs to look out for you. Hey, she needs, you know, she's, hey. Yeah. Yeah.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
I will sometimes get shit from the I'm on Fox News. So I'll get sometimes shit from the viewers for sometimes more of this more social issues or I'm not religious, that kind of a thing. But then the people on the left, a lot of them won't even want to have a conversation with me. So like, oh, she works at Fox News. That tells me everything I need to know about. Yeah.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
But again, you're already letting him in. Does it get worse in the night that he can't stay past 6 p.m.? Because also he had work, but he still obviously came to see me every day. But he couldn't come for very long, and he had to leave. And I was there by myself, and it was so scary. And there was no benefit to it. It was just because of COVID.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
But that doesn't make sense because if he had COVID, it'd already be in there. Two fucking hours. From the two hours he was in there.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Yeah. Yeah. That's so stupid. They told me, I will never forget that. When I woke up from the first surgery, they came in and they told me that they had good news and that I tested negative for COVID. Oh my God. I was like, I don't fucking care. My small intestine is hanging out of my stomach.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
I tested myself. I had it in July. And I tested myself only because I'm pregnant. And I wanted to know what to expect. And I got really sick because my immune system is trash. Again, because of this baby. No nicotine. Can't fight off illnesses.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
I'm doing just prenatals, probiotics. That's it. Prenatals? Yeah. What is that? A company sells prenatal vitamins? A company sells prenatal vitamins.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I eat food now a lot more than I used to. I used to be chewing nicotine gum all day. It doesn't make you hungry. It doesn't make you hungry.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
I know, and it's the weirdest thing. I can only imagine. I mean, again, I didn't used to be someone who ate. I eat all day now. I mean, I eat food at night. I used to not eat all day. You were on speed. Of course. Of course. But I was also nicotine gum all day. I always nicotine gum.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
And I think that that's doing some real damage overall to us as a country by the fact that we're letting – because I'm not special in that aspect, right? People will let one aspect of a person completely just – that's all I need to know about that person. I'm not going to talk to that person.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
So I was, yes. But I was honestly so used to the amphetamines. So I was on Vyvanse, which is slow release. Adderall, I don't like. I was on Adderall briefly, and it was too much for me. I was jittery. I was anxious. I was, no, I won't do Adderall. And the Vyvanse is slow release. It doesn't make me feel... So when I first went off of it, yes, I ate... I gained like 10 pounds in six weeks, right?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
But now I feel like I'm just as hungry as I was... when I was on Adderall without the nicotine. Because I got so used to it. So I wasn't ever really getting this like, which Adderall I did get that from.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Like your skull. And I didn't like that. I didn't like it.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
So I did it because my insurance didn't cover Vyvanse back when I lived in D.C. So I was like, I need something, right?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'm not doing that. Certainly not. Only doctors. My drug dealers are all actual doctors. I was like, okay, I'll do Adderall. How much different can it be? And it was bad. And if I ever forgot to take it, I was walking in a wall. I couldn't. I was sleeping. I couldn't do it. Wow. I couldn't do it. So then I just found coupons somewhere. My doctor helped me up.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
I was like, I will sacrifice in other areas to afford the Vyvanse because I don't know how people take this. Adderall, I couldn't do.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
I've taken Metadate. I've taken, again, I was... I'm one of those... When they say, like, study the kids who were put on Ritalin when they were five, you're looking at one. Like, this is me. I mean, I was on... And it's, you know, it is harder. It is really a lot harder for me to live and do basic shit. But it's been interesting.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
See, I didn't feel like that. You didn't feel like that? Except the Adderall. I can't. That's not for me. Adderall's not for me. I won't do Adderall.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Oh, if I take Adderall, I thought I forgot. I remember I forgot my Vyvanse one time and I took someone's Adderall like this was a few years ago. And immediately I'm texting everyone on my phone like, am I going to be okay? Tell me I'm okay.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
That's not I like I I'm Exhausting enough to be around as a person just naturally. I don't need I don't need to add her all adding to the problem You know, I felt like I've the world's collapsing around me.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Yeah. I mean, I was one of the first and I think I will. I think I will go back. But then I'm like, maybe I should try just nicotine. But a doctor probably wouldn't recommend that. But what do they know?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Right. I'm a better person because of nicotine. And I know that's not popular. That's not for the kids. They're listening. But I don't know. Whenever I'm writing, sometimes I'll be like, I need to get a sentence perfect.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
when i'm writing i'll spend hours sometimes on a single sentence if i think it's a really important sentence and i'll be like i don't know i don't know and then i'll put a put a zin in or put nicotine and then i will get it have you ever tried other nootropics um yeah i mean i'm just nicotine i mean yes but but have you ever tried the things like um you ever heard of neuro gum you know what neuro no not that we have some over here in that blue bag right there
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
I am excited to start to own my body again and be able to take whatever I want.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
I don't like that. Because I'm anxious enough as it is. I'm actually a very anxious person.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Which is such a wild take. Well, people think that just because you don't think the government's the best way to solve a problem, that doesn't actually mean you don't care about the problem. So if you don't think the government can solve something like, oh, well, you're a piece of shit because you don't care about this or this. It's like, no, I just don't think the government's going to solve it.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
I actually never thought I could go off of it. Like, I actually... That was one of my concerns in terms of actually getting pregnant. That you were going to be like that for the rest of your life. When I went off of it, I mean... I was like, I'm in it now, baby.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
I do. That's kind of crazy that that's an option. Because I could have walked out of here no matter what and be like, I'd have been so much better if I would have been. That's so crazy. Maybe you wouldn't. Maybe we wouldn't connect as well. I don't know because it's so weird because I feel like I'm getting to meet myself.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
But also it's not really myself because of the pregnancy because this is pregnant me. But then I kind of am curious to stay off of it a little longer when I'm not pregnant just to see.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Oh, I've definitely considered that. I've definitely considered that. For me, it was just that there was I had I didn't function off of it. So I didn't try.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
I was on pro vigil briefly, but I was I forget why I went on pro vigil instead of everything else. But it was oh, I was diagnosed briefly. I've never talked about this with narcolepsy, but I don't think I really have it. Did you fall asleep? I fell asleep a lot in the sleep study, but this was also in college. And I smoked a lot of weed in college.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
So I really think I might have just been like had a stone over.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
And they said, you got normal epilepsy, take some pills. i've never i've never talked about this and i've actually kind of just remembered it but yeah and i couldn't stay awake for the sleep studies they were like she's got narcolepsy no one was ever like hey are you taking bong reps why are you so sleepy cat oh my god which i think that must have been why looking back
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
The fact that I was taking that many bong rips. And again, I graduated at the top of my class. I was very studious. At college, I smoked a lot of weed. Yeah, you were probably sleepy. I was sleepy. That's so crazy. I might have smoked the afternoon before.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Here, take a pill. I would have told them the truth. Nobody ever asked me.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
And then I took it, and then I stopped taking it, and I went back to, I think, Metadate, which is another stimulant. Wow.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
No, it's... No, it's because I haven't in 10 years, so I'm not sure I remember how. My husband is like, you need to learn. You know what I make this poor man do, or I have made him do the past five years? So I have a cat that is, he's now 14 years old. He is a dick. He's got a lot of health issues, but I won't let him die. I won't let him die because he's my best friend, blah, blah, blah. Right.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
But we can't find anyone to watch him. We can't board him at the vet over Christmas. So since I met my husband, going on six years now, I've made him drive me and the cat home to my father's house. Where's your father's house? Detroit area.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
With the cat. How far is it in the car? It's like 12 hours with the cat. Oh, my God. So it's like you drive all that time. And when you get there, you're in Detroit. Oh, my God. So a lot of people are like, he's the lucky guy. And it's like, no, he's not. He's a saint.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
For a cat. That's not even a nice cat. Like, he bites. That's a problem. He needs daily medication.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
This, that. Sorry. You did just make a very reasonable suggestion. For a normal cat, but this cat will like, he is feral. Was he an actual feral cat? Yeah. So I was dating my college boyfriend living out in LA and I was like, I moved in with him non-consensually. That's a whole nother story. I got into Columbia, couldn't afford it.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
So I decided to stay in LA and keep interning, waiting tables, doing comedy. And we were fighting a lot because we shouldn't have been together. Yeah. So he got me. He's a great friend of mine now, actually. But he brought me this cat as like a bandaid on the relationship that he just found in North Hollywood, basically. Oh, wow. That was like dying and sick. And this has been like my.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Yeah. But there's no there's like you said, there's no actual incentive for them to do that. New York's the same. I mean, I live in New York because I love my job. But if I didn't have my job, I would not live there because it's so expensive. Right. And I was in L.A. last week and I was coming back from JFK in the morning after a red eye. I am exhausted. I'm pregnant.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
When my husband and I went on our honeymoon, I hired a vet to stay at the house.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
And my sister, I had her stay there too because he likes my sister. But he likes, he finally likes my husband now. And it took what, like five years? That's crazy. But like, he's like, I'm driving. He's like, every year he's like, I'm driving. Because every year I'm like, this will be the last year. Probably. Yeah.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
But this cat has had serious health problems for years. Four years requiring multiple daily medications that I have to administer. Because not just anybody can come stay with the cat because they have to administer the medication, which is a hazardous activity for the average person.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Because you have to do the syringe in the mouth. Oh, fuck. So I hold him. He'll let me do it. Oh, my God. That's so crazy. I won't, as I said, I won't let him, like, I won't. Why don't you just let him go? He's probably miserable. Because he's stable on the medication. He's happy to see me when I'm home. Like, he misses me. So, like, he's.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
I get it. Now, talk to me a bit. The thing is, if I'm being honest with myself, even if that weren't the answer, I might still have a hard time. Yeah. It's hard. Yeah.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Well, I mean, when I got this cat, I was a cashier at Boston Market.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Okay, I should watch this. I was really into Jane Goodall as a child.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
She believes in Bigfoot. She was, I thought it was so cool when I was little how she was like, you know what? I don't want to be part of your society. I'm going to go live among the chimpanzees. I was like, you can do that? Yeah, chip crazy. This lady.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
I'm trying to sleep in the car in the roads. I'm just getting pothole after pothole. I'm like going on. I'm like, where are my taxes going exactly? Yeah, because everyone would say these roads, the roads are shit.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Because you didn't bring them a cake. Yeah, you didn't give them a cake. That's fucking wild.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Yeah. Horrible. I feel like a lot of that was hidden from me as a child. Although when I gave a presentation on Jane Goodall in school, there was like a box set of two VHS tapes. And one was like the happy part. And then like VHS 2 was like, I don't remember what was in it, but it was like something graphic and bad that happened to the chimps. To Jane Goodall? No to the chimps like something.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
I don't remember what it was killed them. I don't remember it might have been diseases I don't remember what it was all I remember is that the school called my mom because I brought in the wrong one and I was like I Called your mom.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
I was in trouble all the time in school. But how nutty is that thought?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
I was also, you know, teachers always had it up. I was always in trouble. So it was like, oh, look at her. There's a yearbook where there's a picture of the principal in the yearbook, and I'm in the picture. Because you got in trouble? Because I'm always in trouble.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
I could never work in a normal office. I never have. I've worked as a waitress and I was a bad one, but sure.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Right? Yeah. And I, I started doing standup cause I needed to do standup. I mean, back when I was in LA and I was, my life was just going to shit. The boyfriend who got me the cat broke up with me. It was shocking. And then I moved into this shitty apartment in a shitty neighborhood. I was still waiting tables, doing comedy. And then I lost. I didn't have enough money for that apartment.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
So I had to move in with this bartender I was sort of kind of seeing from my California pizza kitchen job. But not like really. I was like, just because I need to live here doesn't mean we're together. Together it was a mess. Yeah. I had no car. I was like riding the bus. I got scabies from the bus. Like it was it was a bad it was a dark time. Right.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
And but I would get on stage and I would talk about it. Right. And that made me feel some sense of power over the things that were making me feel powerless. And I was like, oh, I really like this. I could make fun of this shit and people would be laughing.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
You know, I would talk about about how broke I was and people would be laughing and I'd be like, oh, I'm created something out of something that I felt it was going to destroy me.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Yeah, it really was a mess. But then I kept being gravitated toward that. I mean, even the shitbag thing. So Jim Norton, who I love dearly. As do I. God, he's great. He's the best. He's the best. I did his radio show after the first book came out talking about my shit bag. And he was like, you know, Kat, he's like, as a human being, I'm really sorry that happened to you.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
But as a comedian, I'm jealous. And I do have a lot of material from that, you know, because a lot of people doesn't happen to.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
And I think it's so much better to have that. People say it's like, oh, it's not like that. It's so much better to have that than to let your trauma define you and try to lord it over other people. Like, you can't say this thing because this thing happened to me. No, that's not.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
I was a hellion, though. I mean, I got like I didn't want to do math and I started chanting like no more math. I got on the table like I got in trouble for inciting a riot is what they said. And my dad was like, she's six years old. I was a disaster. You were fun. I was fucking fun. That's the thing. I was invited to everybody's birthday, but they wanted me there at least. You know what I mean?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
From potholes. Yeah, and it's so expensive. You just hear that bang and you're like, shit. Yeah, it's so expensive. I mean, the fact that I feel very luxurious and it's like a flex to be able to have a child, actually, because we have enough space to put a baby in our rental apartment, which most people don't, actually. I never thought I would get to that position.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
energy but I needed school I was valedictorian in my high school there were 10 of us so it was everybody who had a 4.0 but I needed to do well at school because I knew my parents couldn't afford to send me away to college so I'm kind of like if I wouldn't have been on these drugs what I have been able to do well enough at school because I'm not getting a sports scholarship
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Or maybe I would have just gone straight to college. I don't know. But I had to study. I had to be good at school in order to have the success that I did, at least academically. But then after I graduated from college where I got a full scholarship, I obviously couldn't afford grad school.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
You know what's funny is there's people in my real life who have known me for decades who have not had an in-person conversation with me off stimulus. People I've known my whole life who, you know, still. That's crazy. You're meeting me for the first time.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
I never thought I'd even consider not taking them any day or every day. I never thought I would consider that, especially even at the beginning of my pregnancy. But that was also the first trimester, which I was exhausted because I was pregnant. I was like, I can't do anything.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
So I was off speed and pregnant and off nicotine all at the same time.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Yeah, exactly. That's true. So that's why I was like, I'm still, I don't feel good.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
No, of course not. Don't listen to me. Well, you are my primary care physician. I'm going to write your name down.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
I don't know. That's what I'm saying. The fact that I'm even still, I think both, because I'll still have days where I really struggle and I forget things and I lose things. And I'll have this whole plan with my husband. And then I'm like, oh, this shit, this is the wrong day.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
There we go, great, great. See, I can't have coffee. That's too much.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Yeah, I've lived in. When I first moved to New York, I lived in East Harlem. I lived in a truly, actually dangerous neighborhood. I was broken, like just so broke. And it's I don't know how people survive. I really don't. I don't know why. I don't know how I did.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Well, I've started to think that I at least might not go back to doing it every single day. Because I was doing it every, every, every day, truly, except if I was in the hospital.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Yeah, it sucks to take speed at the beach. It's not fun to be at the pool.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Yeah. But I'm going to be like, would I have been better if I was on the pool? Right, but that's crazy talk. Of course, but it's my whole... That's how people stay on heroin. That's my whole life. I was at my first communion on amphetamines.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
And I think about nicotine every day. I don't think about the medication every day. So I think I'll definitely go back to nicotine. Maybe I'll use it sometimes. Maybe not every day. I'm definitely not.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
So there is, and this is, I know there's one that's really bad, and that was when kids were getting their lungs exploded or whatever. Well, there's two kids died, right? So, but that, I did research on this.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
I spoke to somebody who, for an article, I wrote an article for National Review about this, who said that she would be surprised if that chemical was in the nicotine vapes at all, because it's pretty much only necessary with THC, and that it was only in like black market THC vapes, basically. That's what I had heard too.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
yeah I had my stupid dream which and it worked out well for me what was your stupid dream I wanted to do exactly what I'm doing now congratulations thank you I mean and then it's of course you achieve something you're like what's the next thing what's the next thing what's the next thing I'm that kind of person but and I'm also it's been so I'm
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Yeah, which vaping THC in general is just like, that's not, you never, it's so, that's my most boomer opinion that I have is the weed's too strong. It certainly can be. It's so strong. When people are like, hey, you want to, no, because I don't know what's in that.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
you're vaping you don't know where the fuck that's coming from no a few years ago I was out with my friend and I hit his weed pen and I couldn't feel my legs I was like I mentally felt not high which is like the opposite I was going I mean I wanted to feel my legs and I wanted to be high and I'm like okay I'm like I don't know what to do I have to leave and I couldn't feel my legs and then I got back to my apartment and then I felt completely fine and I'm like so it was just temporary paralysis yeah
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
And I'm like, I have no idea what was in that. And I've never, ever, ever hit a vape weed pen ever again. And I don't think I will.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
I thought you were going to say you don't want to be the person that has to go home.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
And I have to tell everyone that I smoked a fucking... How'd you lose your legs? You know, there's people in the amputation unit that have been to war or whatever.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
I ripped a bootleg weed vape pen. I was trying to get high.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
off of amphetamines right now because I'm pregnant for the first time since I was five. Whoa. Isn't that crazy? Whoa. Yeah. What kind of amphetamines? I mean, you name it. I mean, so I was five. I do have ADHD. I was five years old. What does that mean? So, It can be a lot of things, right? It can be lack of focus. It can be emotional dysregulation.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
If I found out that, I mean, I don't think it's totally healthy or I would be doing it. I mean, if I found out I was dying, I'd be going to vape immediately.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
If there was like benefits, I'd get it. There's no benefits.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
But I feel like also people who say that it's fine, I mean, they're probably really addicted to it, which I get because I've been there. I've been there. It's the best. If I was dying,
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
But for me, a lot of times it's not diagnosed in women until they're older. I was a nuisance. I was unable to function in a classroom setting, which I think is more noticeable if you're a girl. I was acting kind of like a boy, for lack of better. I mean, I was... breaking shit. I was like rough housing. I was unable to function in the classroom. And then we went and got my IQ looked at.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
And I actually was a person who trusted doctors more than COVID happened. And it's like, I don't know how you do.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
I don't know how you do. I mean, I know it was years. I'm still not over it.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Well, it's safer, but it's safer than smoking. There's no way I'm ripping darts while I'm pregnant. I think that's for people who are going to be ripping. They're like, listen, rather than smoking cigs, have nicotine gum.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
And my husband, he still vapes. So he still vapes and it's, you know, but I'm like, I'm, you know, I can rub that in his face a little bit that I quit, but definitely.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
well sugar is crazy crazy i've gotten into sugar a little bit which sounds insane to say but i never like now that i'm pregnant it's like what dopamine is there available for you not that much so i'll get dessert but i feel like i i got a pumpkin spice frappuccino last weekend okay the smallest one available it's 12 ounces i drank this thing i immediately i was like we have to go home i don't feel good i laid on the couch and i slept for three hours
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
I know. I was so sick, and I've gotten into it. Last night I was at dinner, I was like, should I get dessert? He was like, well, every time you do, and then you're really sick, so maybe.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Oh, she's really smart. She just can't. So I was on Ritalin since I was five. And now I'm not. Wow. Isn't that crazy?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
And I'm like, where are you going? To the hospital for diabetes. Because I couldn't be going anywhere after having that. So, like, are you drinking this? It's afternoon right now.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
I know, and I think it's so interesting with all the things I'm advised to do. They don't really say, like, oh, you shouldn't have a bunch of – I'm sure that's bad. I'm sure it's bad. I'm sure it's terrible to have a bunch of dessert.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
No, they don't. They're like, don't have sushi, don't have turkey, don't have – I had him tested for toxoplasmosis. He doesn't have it? He doesn't have it. Oh, that's crazy. Which I was so like... I mean, I thought for sure if he had it, I would have it. Right. Because he sleeps under my chin every night. Oh, yeah. But I actually... We also have a very expensive litter box.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
We have a robot that... One of those? It's called the... No, it's called the Litter Robot. I've seen those. Do you know that it not only self-cleans, it sends data to my phone in real time. So every time he uses the litter box, I get an alert on my phone letting me know how much he weighs... Yeah, because I used to have to weigh him myself to monitor.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Because basically if he gets overweight, he gets diabetes, he's going down. He has cardiomyopathy, he has, which is a heart thing.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
He's so patient. I'm like, I don't know how. He's like, the cat's not even a nice cat. I'm like, I know, but he has herpes too, the cat. Oh, boy. Which I was really good. It's a respiratory thing in cats. Because the first time, I was confused at first too. The vet called me and told me, and I was like, but he's a virgin. And they were like, okay.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
It's like they pick it up as kittens, and it causes them to get a cold that comes and goes. Oh, okay. So he takes a medication called Viralis. He takes that one also.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Every day, mix into his food. He has a probiotic mix into his food.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
No, it's not. It's respiratory. He sneezes and coughs. How bad? Enough where it was like on the pillow in the morning, like gross. Oh. Yeah, gross. Gross. I was like, oh, it's just herpes. Get on the pills, you fuckhead. But then he also, he takes steroids every day too.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
And a heart medication. Oh, boy. I know. That's a lot. I know. Listen, but I would keep him on. The thing is, if you could do a ventilator, I would. Would you clone him? The thing is, no, because he sucks. You know what I mean?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Right. But I'm a writer. But I've been on amphetamines since I was five. I don't remember a time being off of them. If I haven't been sick or in bed somewhere in the hospital, like really sick, I've been taking one of these drugs. I mean, Vyvanse is what I was most recently taking. So as an ambitious person, it's been tough for me to be pregnant. But I don't know what of it is the pregnancy.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Oh, no, not that. I think it'd just be so hard. Because what I love about him is all the shit we went through. Oh, okay. Right. He's part of your history. He was with me through everything. Right. And, you know, from, you know... He's going through all that shit in L.A., and then he lived with me in D.C., which is a horrible place, and then New York and everything. So he's symbolic.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
It's the time in my life. I dedicated my first book to him, him and Joan Rivers. It was him and Joan Rivers, neither of whom can read this.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
But it's probably addictive to get all that shit done. I mean, I've not had plastic surgery, but when I get old, I might want to. Like, I might want to get, like, a facelift.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
I know. I think it's addictive. I think you get like a little bit more and a little bit more and you don't realize how crazy you start to look.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Because you're not amphetamines. I don't know. I don't know. What of it is the pregnancy? What of it is no amphetamines? What of it is no nicotine? Because, I mean, I can't wait to go back to nicotine.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
You know, it's also like, so I like, you know, and I'm very proud of having been on TV for 10 years. I have my original lips. I have my original teeth, which is like a big deal. People get like the big, there's a lot of bad veneers going around, like a lot of really bad.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Of course. But I like, so my mom died. It'll be 10 years in November. I like that I kind of look like her. If I fucked up my face too much, I probably wouldn't look like her anymore. I like to look like myself. Yeah, that's a good thing. But I don't know. You always think maybe a little bit and people go more and more and more.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Jennifer Grey? I've never seen Dirty Dancing. What? I've never seen any movies. The only movies I've ever seen is I watch Happy Gilmore over and over again.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
So I've seen Billy Madison. How much Adderall were you doing when you watched Happy Gilmore? No, I've seen, I just, movies are long.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
It's cool to look different from everybody else in some way.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Especially as a man. I don't get why men do it at all because men are allowed to get old. With women, it makes a little more sense. Men, it's like if you are 80, you can have a girlfriend who's 30. It happens all the time, right? But women, not so much.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Everybody does it. And she's 30 years old. Everybody does it. Yeah, go Rupert. Everybody who's older, it's very common. You don't even have to be that rich.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
That's why I say my husband's only two years older than me. So that's actually, I think I'm technically like 10 years older.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
If you take society into account, he's actually like, I'm a cougar.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Yeah. For going for a guy that's only two years older than me.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
But he said to me, he said that he usually gets bored in relationships, but with me, he prays for it.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Yeah, he's like, I'm never bored. He's like, I wake up every day, I never know who I'm going to get.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
So I'll be doing, I don't know if it's, for example, he'll say something to me, but I'm very self-aware, which is good. I think I'm very. Are you sure? I think so. Okay. I think so. I've had a lot of therapy, which I think is helpful. Like when I've needed it. I don't know. I don't go all the time, but I'll be, he asked me recently if I could pick some things up around like, this is your stuff.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Yeah, probably. I was really into outside and bugs and reptiles. Right.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
I was like, I'll just leave. If you want me to just leave. And I'm like, oh my God, sorry. That was a bit of an overreaction. But I don't know if that's because I'm not medicated or because I'm pregnant.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
I think I'm going to. Yeah. Which I never thought I would.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
So whenever I found out I was pregnant at the end of May.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
equalizing you know normalizing getting down to the regular levels and it's weird when i see myself in the mirror i still like do a jump scare because i'm like that who's that because i was so skinny before i was really skinny before now i have like a belly because i'm supposed to right right but i do a jump scare a little bit really yeah but i'm going back out i mean i'm going back back out on tour when the book comes out so i'm going to be super pregnant super pregnant five days a week on gottfeld two days a week on the road wow
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
I'm worried about being exhausted, but I'm not worried about having a detrimental effect. I mean, because I'm just going to do it and I love it. Like I love being on stage. I love doing what I do.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Yeah. But it's going to be tough at the end. It's going to be.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Yeah, I'm doing it all the way until I can't fly anymore. So the middle of December. Wow. But, you know, my husband says he's going to come with me. His joke, he has like a couple jokes. He has like five jokes. And one of them is he's like, I'm going to come so she has someone to yell at. That's his bit. He has a few jokes. He was in the military. What else does he say?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
He loves when people ask him if he's ever been hunting because then he gets to say, just people.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Yeah, he likes that one. I'm trying to think what else. He's got like five solid bits that he does. But, you know.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
It's going to be rough. I'm a person of extremes. I'm always like, I want to take it to the limit every single time. Even while you're pregnant?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
I do, but they said I shouldn't fly past 34 weeks. So that would be December 28th-ish. And my last show is, I think, December 15th. So I'm just listening to what they're telling me. Well, that's good. And I also think it's going to be... I'm really passionate about the subject matter. I love doing the shows. Why wouldn't I do it other than what you just mentioned?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
So for me, I've just decided to view it like, okay, I'm not taking this. They told me you can take the medication while you're pregnant, but we just don't know what an effect it'll have. I'm like, well, I'm not comfortable with that. So I quit it. I quit nicotine, quit everything. But I just try to view it as an experiment.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Well, I think that one of the biggest problems with today is not just that there's a lack of independent thinking, but that people have difficulty even perceiving it when it happens. So if I say something that is critical of Kamala, then people are like, oh, she's MAGA. She's super MAGA.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Or if you say something critical of Trump, then it's like, oh, you're a communist and you're going to vote for... And they don't even perceive that, hey, maybe someone could be this other thing where they just kind of don't fall into either camp. And I get that people, yeah, because people do.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
And the parties don't mean anything in a lot of sense. I've been at Fox for almost 10 years now. So I used to get shit on for, I'm super anti-war. I'm an anti-war person. And I think, you know, it's it's a lot of it. And I think we know they lie to us about a lot of these things.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
And then we know that people get promoted and they get rich who work and, you know, they move on from working as generals to working in weapons companies, etc. We know all this stuff. But that used to be something that the left would agree with me on and the right would yell at me about. And then it was Trump was becoming antiwar with Ukraine. And then it was reversed.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Then I was like, I'm a Trump puppet for thinking and saying the things that I've always thought. So it's just people. It's just people even notice that, though.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
It's exactly what it is. It's exactly what it is. Because when people say, oh, are you moderate? I'm like, moderate according to what? What are these two pillars that have been set up? It's not real. And it's always changing.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
I've never been off of these drugs, and I'm going to try being off of these drugs. Doing the most simple task to me feels like I'm doing it through mud. It's really hard for me. Yes, it's really hard. But one thing that I think I'm going to... After I give birth, I'm going to go back to it to some extent. But I don't want to use it on stage anymore.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
That to me is – And they're 13, 14 years old. Fucking crazy. The stuff with the schools is crazy to me because it shouldn't matter what it's about.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
No. No. To say that you can't tell the parents what's going on with the kids at school is to say that the state has more ownership over your kids than you do. That's some creepy communist shit.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Yeah. And then but then, of course, the right takes it too far. Being like drag, no drag queens.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
And also when the kids can't read or do math is my thing. I think that all of this stuff, it's also very I've noticed it became more of an argument after covid. I think there's a lot of distraction from, hey, these kids lost a lot because I think it's so crazy how it's this radical idea to say the Department of when Trump said I'd get rid of the Department of Education. People go, he hates kids.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
It's like, OK, well, look what they did and look what they're continuing to do. I mean, kids are not. Yeah, exactly.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
No. Well, they've done a lot in terms of probably their own incentives and their own power.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Because I feel like I've been better on stage without amphetamines.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Yeah. It's so weird. Yeah. And for me, I mean, I'm a huge I mean, First Amendment is so important. Right. That's if you don't have that, you don't have anything. Well, you don't have a job. Yeah. Without it. Right. I don't either. No, of course. I go to jail. I would be in jail a long time. Think about what they're putting people in jail for in England, just posting things on Facebook.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
But I get shit from both sides for depending on what I'm defending in terms of something being constitutional.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
I mean, obviously with the left, it's like what also was crazy to me is people, a lot of the same people were the Trump is Hitler people were also the hate speech laws people, which is like, how can you think this government that's led by Hitler should be in control of what you can and can't say? That doesn't make sense to me.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
But sometimes I also flag burning has to be constitutional because you have to be able to buy a flag. And if you can't burn a flag you bought, like, come on, like that's government protest. You have to be able to do that. I don't like it. I would never do it. But you shouldn't put people in jail for it.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Yeah, and I was like, oh, dude. It's like, you know what I mean? Like, he got shot. He looked awesome when he got shot. I mean, really. I mean, if I got shot, I would not look that cool.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Yeah, it was amazing. When he got shot, I was like, oh, he won. I really thought after he got shot, I was like, he just won the election.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
But it's so powerful. And you can see it. Everybody's in on her. That's really powerful. People are excited about her. Alexa's in on her. That Alexa thing's crazy. Pop culture. Everyone's in on it. And it's also... I hate election years because it's just like, if you don't vote for blank, this whole country is going to go down. Both sides say it. So it's just like, it's no.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Whoever wins, it's going to be shitty and just in different ways and maybe some of the same ways. It's just not.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
yes absolutely yeah yeah absolutely when that happens it's like okay well then we need to federalize police and this and that it's like it's crazy i really do i am concerned about it for the same reasons for the absolutely and it's gonna be bad no matter what in terms of the reaction of the other side i mean people i'm not looking forward to it i'm like i can't wait for this election to be over and then i'm like oh it's gonna be even worse
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Yeah. To me, it... I guess I feel normal, but I've never really been off of it. Like, it was never really my decision. It was never my decision to go on it.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
I'd break some bricks. I'd leave some bricks. For my riot, yeah.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
And I also think it's sad because I think that there were – Definitely legitimate points to be made and are about criminal justice, I think. But boy, was that handled the war. I mean, so they go from that to people to people, you know, setting buildings on fire and then CNN doing the, you know, mostly fiery, but mostly peaceful with it. The famous.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Because one of my root issues is impulse control, which is a problem. And everywhere but a stage, right? Because if you're not thinking too much, then you're going to be better on stage, I think. So I think I don't get as nervous. I'm not thinking as much about what if I say this. I just I've already said it.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
It's like, come on, you don't got to defend that. You know, like nobody like people, you look ridiculous. Exactly. But then it got completely bungled. And so in the name of criminal justice reform, now it's like people who are actual violent criminals can be allowed out easier. Nobody wanted that.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
So then now the pendulum is going to swing in the other direction where, you know, it's going to be even more law and order and it's going to be... Like you said, it's going to be rights at stake, civil liberties at stake, which is what this was supposed to be all about to begin with.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Yeah. And I'm not saying it's happening either. But in general. It's moving that way. In general, the fear is used by the government a lot. Right. It's really, I mean, even going back to talking about war and national security and we need to do this. Next thing you know, I mean, look at the Patriot Act.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
I mean, people were like, you have to be able to to protect you doing this, banning TikTok, all these things. And you look into what they're really doing and the power that it would really give them. It's like, oh, this isn't about really just banning TikTok.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Yeah, what did she say? Yeah, what did she... I don't know. I didn't hear what she said.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
And on a stage, that's the best place for that. That's the one place where you can really do that. It's going to be OK.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
So I still the writing is tough. Doing laundry is tough. Being emotionally stable is tough. But my husband is a very patient man. I also don't know what of that is the pregnancy. Right. I am not sure.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
That's crazy. It's crazy for anyone to want it because if the only reason you want it, right, is because you agree with the ideological bent of the platform, wait until someone else is in charge of it or wait until there's a different government in charge.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
I think it actually is even crazy that he's admitting that, you know?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
I don't understand how anybody didn't think it was real, though. Because Hunter never even denied it. When all those people signed that letter, all those intelligence people.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
51 signed it. Guess who didn't sign it? Hunter Biden. Right. That's what I thought from the I was like, OK, if that was me and someone was saying there was a laptop going around of me, you know, doing all this shit, banging all these people on camera and smoking all these drugs. I'd be like that. I would be like, that was not me.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
I would be like, you know, that'd be pretty important for me to come out and say that.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Well, that's out there with everybody, me included, sadly.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
And there's nothing you can do about it. Nothing you can do about it. Because you knock it down, it's like whack-a-mole. It's like, then there's another one, then there's another one.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
There's a lot going on. But it's like, I'm so messed up because I've done these. The amphetamines were so long that let's just say if something doesn't go well, I'm like, it would have been better if I was on Vyvanse. So it's like, you know, because I don't know. But it's, you know, but I just don't know because I've heard from what I've heard.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Yeah. And just the idea that there's certain information that's misinformation is just the government sanctioned information.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
If you're pregnant, that can make you a little crazy, too.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
And the lab leak theory is one that really, I mean, people's careers were destroyed over being like, maybe this virus came from this lab full of viruses where it was found right outside of. And they were like, you fucking crazy ass. But it was only because certain information was seen as acceptable and sanctioned and certain information was seen as not.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
It's so weird. And I know so much going on. It's the most normal thing ever. I get that. Like everybody does it. That's why we're all here. But I've never done it. To me, it's wild. I don't think it's normal.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Yeah, but it's also saying the government is the only one that's allowed to be wrong.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Because if what they say is misinformation turns out to be true, as was so many things, that's okay.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Of course. Of course. Like Fauci being like, oh, we made up six feet. Like, yeah, we didn't really know. It's just actively lying. Yes, absolutely.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
And people say, just stay home. That drove me nuts. I feel like how can you say that when you're still at work? When you're still at work, right? I mean, I was lucky to still have my job. And people had to shut down. Even New York's not the same anymore as it used to be because a lot of these businesses closed down forever.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
What made New York so special was a lot of those small businesses, restaurants, things like that. They can't afford to be open and just not have customers for that long. So now a lot of that's like Dunkin' Donuts.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Yeah, I'm not familiar with that. I mean, I also truly don't go any like I go to work in my apartment and that's pretty much I was going to read the article, but I saved it.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
That's the thing that gets me. If you are nonviolent and you want to come contribute to our economy, then I think you should be welcome to do so. Here it is. The incentives where you're paying for things.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
And I think it's terrible. I think it should be very simple. I think that if you want to come contribute to the economy and you're nonviolent, you should be free to do so. I don't think we should be paying people, I mean, to come over to the cities.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
I mean, there's many explanations. There's a bunch of conspiracies, and then there's also the idea of people not wanting to be called xenophobic.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Yeah, I think it could be more—it's sad because there are people who want to come here and work and should be able to and have problems. They can't come here. But then there's people who just—it's not even the problem. You don't even blame—you come here, you get a free this, you get a free that, a free place to stay. Why wouldn't these people all come?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Aren't a lot of people from these countries conservative, though?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
I mean, I've obviously heard the argument before. I'm not super convinced by it. I think that there's many other things that play into it. But in general, my problem is with the extremely large welfare state in general and where the money goes and how bad the government is at spending money. I mean, because it's also... Same thing as California's in New York. I mean, there's so much money spent.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Was it a Bloomberg or excuse me, de Blasio's wife that was in charge of like the homeless mental health initiative?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
It's like I'm sitting there. I used to live in Hudson Yards and my husband and I are sitting in this. We've since moved, but we're sitting there. We were looking down in the park watching like some dude get a blowjob from, you know, some...
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
crackhead blowing someone else and it's like I feel like there's a lot still going on here with this mental where's my money all going in general and I feel like with you know immigration I think also the two sides there's a lot of incentives that people get from politically Yeah. You know, think about the dreamers.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Well, yeah, I think that's obviously, I mean, I'm pro-choice. I just don't think the government should be involved in it at all.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Well, it's the same thing as remember how the Dream Act, the Dreamers was like such a big deal when Trump said he was going to remove the protections. But then, OK, so why have they not been protected now? So why has there been no bill? If everybody cares so much, people, they don't care. That's like my overarching belief is just that politics, they just don't care about you.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
It makes people fight in their real life with people on the behalf of people that don't even care you exist.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
And I think that there's all these, there's so many different levels to it, right? Like my husband and I, we froze embryos years ago. So I have nine frozen kids too.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
international relations on fire the economy I went I mean I went and got two coffees and two shitty egg sandwiches with my husband the other day shitty ones you know the ones that are pre-made and you just heat them in the heat it was over $60
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
what yeah is that new york city yeah fucking get out of there why do you why are they doing that work and that's it why are they but why is fox stupid why don't they move their fucking business to connecticut i'm all move anywhere i'm all about it because that's the only reason i'm there yeah go somewhere else and i don't go out right i guess it's fun if like you're young but when i was there and i was young i was poor so i never really got now i'm married and pregnant so i'm not really going out right i'm going home into work and you can't even live in long island because it's too hard to get
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
It's too hard to get over that. We're still renting, and I'm making that decision. I'm like, do we buy a house somewhere? In Jersey? In Jersey.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
But those are like, those are just a couple cells that are in a freezer. Whatever.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Yeah, and I've just started getting into going back up just around the city again. Just like, oh, what am I doing this weekend? Hey, can I get a spot at this place? Because I've quit stand-up three times. Now I'm back at it. You can't really ever quit it, I feel like. Some people can. I don't know.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
I mean... Who knows what's in the embryo? Really? So you think I should have all of them?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Oh, it's too fun. But I mean, for me, I quit a few times and I quit most recently also during COVID. And then when I wrote the first book, I started doing a live show within their slides involved. Every slide has a punchline. And then next thing you know, I'm going up around the city now doing just like stand up as well, in addition to my live shows.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
But now it's pretty much I'm gonna have no time to just do my my shows and then Gutfeld five days a week and the baby growing the baby. Maybe you do need speed. I'm telling you, I'm telling you, but it's, you know, they don't let you, well, the fact that they would let me take it, I was like, eh.
The Joe Rogan Experience

Because then if there was ever anything wrong with the baby, I'd be like, that was my fault. Right, right, right. That was my fault for taking amphetamines during my pregnancy.
The Joe Rogan Experience

So I thought it'd be, honestly, I thought when I, I thought I'd be more scared of having kids and I am scared. I have no idea what I'm doing, but I've also just been like too tired, which is kind of nice.

They're little assassins. I don't want to have to explain to my toddler, a dude like jerking off on a street corner with a needle in his arm. They know too much at a young age. I don't want to have to, I mean, the stuff that you see just, it's not as bad as it was during COVID. It was crazy. People were shooting up all over the place. Not as bad, but still, I mean.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
There was I when I live in Hudson Yards. Also, during COVID, there was a dude at a chick bent over a car fucking her in the daytime, in the daytime. And he was like howling. He was like, wow. And I was like. And I'm looking around, and nobody's doing anything.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Right. Nobody wants to be in the splash zone. Nobody wants to go anywhere near any of that.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Well, you feel dumb for not stealing at a certain point. Why am I still paying for this shit? But you can't I can't buy anything at a store I have to get like essentials toiletries types shit. You have to just get it online. You can't go to a store in New York It's all there's no one working there. There's a few employees.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
This is empty. So this probably is going out of business.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
But I think this is going out of business because it's not locked up.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Well, because brick and mortar wasn't doing that well to begin with because people are buying shit online. Right. And then you just let people go. People were going to the store because you can steal it. So crazy.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Yeah, it is nuts, but nothing's changed. I mean, New York's stuff has been locked up forever now.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Well, it's also not going to change, right? Like New York, it's not going to have, the Republicans are not going to win New York. They might.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Yeah, I don't know. I mean, it's because I think I mean, I just have no hope. I don't think it's going to get any better. I don't know. I mean, you have hope.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
You can't rob a store. And then also, with letting people, I mean, violent criminals out is another thing where it's like, dude, nobody wants this. It's crazy. Nobody wants this person who has this violent, violent history to be out on the streets.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Well, sociopaths come from sex, too. From sex? No, like the babies that come from sex can grow up to be sociopaths. How do the babies come out of the other way? IVF. IVF, there's IVF and then there's the sex way.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
I think there's plenty of things wrong with the criminal justice system. I don't think anybody should go to prison for drugs. I think drugs should be legal. I think all drugs should be legal. I think for sure. But I think that that's different than saying people who have committed crimes with victims should be allowed to go... accrue more victims.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Yeah, and that's the main reason why a lot of people point to, you know, look at this place where it was decriminalized. It didn't work. It's like, well, that's decriminalized, not legalized, A. And you don't have to have all these other things, too.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
So many benefits to psychedelics. And also just so many comparative to alcohol and what that does to people versus not really benefits, if any. But you can be like, hey, I get fucked up and drink whatever. And it's everywhere. It's all fine. It's everywhere. But psychedelics, you can go to jail.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
No, I'm saying that some of them do. Any baby could be a sociopath. Yes. Which is why I waited so long to have kids and I'm terrified because also what if it's like a few degrees below a sociopath and my kid just sucks?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
I still like nicotine amphetamines. But I think especially with veterans' mental health, but just really for anybody who wants to do it, even for fun, I think it should be allowed. Victims of violent crime.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Yeah, and I mean, if you look at... With veterans, it's like you send them over to these wars and a lot of people don't come back normal from that. How could you expect them to come back normal? And people love to say, support the troops, support the troops. They don't think about what that really means.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
And it's because it can look a little uglier, a little more complicated than just saying that or wearing like a flag pin on your suit. And I think in general, when it comes to mental health, we've never talked about mental health more. But people are struggling because we have such little leeway for people who are going through a mental health crisis.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Well, that's the government. They're legislating things they don't understand.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
My kid's the one that shows up and everyone's like, ah, shit.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
You should be able to make that choice. Psychedelics are just a huge, huge benefit. I'm a huge believer in that, actually. Well, I'm a believer in freedom. Yes.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Yeah, I think that psychedelics can be beneficial for people who have trauma, but also for just anybody. If you want to be able to experience that, then you should be free to experience that.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Yeah, but I mean, of course, but you hear stories about everything.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Right. But yeah, to your point, it's like you've never heard a story about someone doing alcohol and it going badly or someone doing pharmaceuticals and it going badly. What a huge tool to be able to diminish the ego in a person. And what an amazing life-changing thing that can be. And to say you can't do that because I said so is crazy to an adult.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Mm-hmm. They've never tried it. They don't know what they're talking about.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
No, no. And people just, they just have this framework of like, well, that's a crazy thing. That's bad. Drugs are bad. Those are bad. I can't, that's crazy. Can't do that. And then people who have had experience with them might feel differently, but that doesn't matter.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
Because then the people who have experience with them are people who do drugs.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
I think it would be better if more politicians did mushrooms. Yeah.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
For the sake of just upholding the system. Yeah. And it's just psychedelics make you think, you know, they make you realize also that you're going to die in a good way. Because the things you worry about in your life feel a little bit less ridiculous when you are more familiar with your mortality. Like, oh, we're kind of just all here. We're all people.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
And you're able to do things to your consciousness to see things differently. So that just makes you view things differently. And I think what's healthier than that? And like you said, it's not for everybody. There's people who definitely, they can't do it, things can go badly.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
And not only that, but killing other people. Oh, yeah. Like, getting behind the wheel, but also getting violence. Oh, yeah. Getting, I mean, just alcohol.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
hear people waxing poetic I mean myself included I'm not gonna sit here and be like well what alcohol can do it's all these really I mean can it be fun to get drunk sometimes yeah I guess but it's it's like the next day I'm never like man I'm so glad that I drank all that booze that really just opened my eyes to think no it's it's no alcohol is the perfect example of no biological free lunch yeah yeah rush that fun time you feel when you're lit like whoo your song comes on yeah yeah
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
For me, it's the emotional, like everybody hates me. Everybody, it's the opposite of what psychedelics can do. You're like, it gives you some perspective on the world and your place in the world. And then alcohol puts, the next morning, it's the opposite of that. It's like everyone, the world revolves around how mad it all is at me. Right. You know? Right.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2200 - Kat Timpf
I'm like, why did I do that? Well, the texting. I'm like, what did I say? And then I think that I am going to be deposed into court for some shit. And all these messages are going to be shit. Shit that I was saying. To me, it's pretty clear which one. But there's only one of them that I could go to jail for doing.
