Chapter 1: What is Adam Curry's impact on podcasting?
The Joe Rogan Experience Showing by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day
I never got it until this year, but that's what they say.
That's what they say. You get it within a couple years, you get it, and then all of a sudden, you got it. Yeah, I don't know what the fuck they are, but it's not bad.
I could hear it the other day. I heard it. Stuffiness? Yeah, I heard you. Yeah, I had it for like four days. I've had stuffiness.
But the thing is, when I work out, I feel great. The way I can really tell, the way I judge whether or not I should even work out is when I get in the sauna in the cold punch. If I feel tired and weak when I'm in there, then I know something's going on. It's not as simple as,
Allergies. So I thought for 10 years I had the Austin allergy. For 10 years. It was so bad. I'd go out to dinner. Even when we moved out to Fredericksburg, we'd come into Austin. I thought it was Austin. Seriously, I was like, Austin has given me this.
We'd go out to dinner, start eating, and then my nose, my eyes, everything just – and I'd have to always excuse myself, always have to have tissues in my back pocket. Then I got my teeth done, which we talked about, I think, the last time I was here. And Maverick, my periodontist, he did one of these 360 MRIs. He says, you know, ma'am, you've got some low-level infection here.
And that could be responsible for a whole bunch of stuff. Now, I'd had hearing aids for five years. So when he did the initial extraction, I think I took one or two shows off. And then I went back in the studio, put my headphones on. I'm like, whoa, I thought I'd hit something, you know, a volume knob or something. Came back. Your hearing came back.
Because this was infected and it was basically clogging up my sinuses and that was affecting the hearing. How did a mouth infection like that? It's very dangerous, isn't it? People have no idea how important oral health is. It's really, really critical. And also, I feel better because I'm not fighting infection continuously. That's crazy. How did it all start?

You know, it's an interesting subject because candy and sugar is really what caused all this horrible tooth decay in people. And the goofy fucking solution that someone came up with along the way was putting fluoride in the water. Which is so goddamned insane that you're taking a neurotoxin and you're putting it in the water, but...
And again, I don't want to take even a political position on this. I just want to look at this from a human lens. There is something that people do where even if something is...
obviously stupid if it's a part of a system and there's enough air quotes experts that have endorsed this regardless of the fact we've seen time and time again throughout history that experts are compromised experts are you could put in you could have a court case for a murder and bring in experts that will tell you he definitely did it, and experts that tell you he definitely didn't do it.
So we know this for a fact. But still, people argue on the side of the experts. And I've seen this about fluoride, and it's so mind-boggling. There are conclusive studies that show a direct correlation between high levels of fluoride in the local water and lower IQs. And it's a neurotoxin. We know it's bad for you in large doses.
And yet there are fucking people out there with college degrees who read the New York Times who think they're sensible people that will get angry if you want to remove this neurotoxin from water because look at all the strides it's done in preventing tooth decay. And you just want to say, hey, man, fuck you.
This is stupid. I went to dinner at Mitch's house. I call him. I'm a little upset. No, it's okay because we're sitting down. It's my wife, his wife. He has one of those houses right on the airport where this plane rolls out of the garage, out of the hangar. Oh, he's out of touch. Exactly. I paid for that. I paid for that hanger. And we're sitting down, and we're having a good time.
We're talking about stuff. He says, so what do you think about Florida? I said, it should not be in the water. He's like, you're wrong. And this is only a couple of years ago. And now he's come back, and he said, oh, man. Did he apologize? Yeah, of course. This was drilled into my head. Yeah. What I understand is fluoride is a byproduct of aluminum production.

Chapter 3: What are the controversies surrounding fluoride in water?
I can still take my tax-deductible write-off. They can do one of two things. They can convert it right away into dollars, no capital gains because it's the same minute. So I've actually been able to give more than I would have or they can sell some of it and hold some of it for a longer term. I really, really believe in Bitcoin and what we're seeing now, there is something interesting going on.
Our dollar is in big, big trouble. And President Trump knows this. This falls into kind of the tariffs talk. Have you heard about stable coins? No. Okay. Do you mind if I just give you a little? Go ahead. Our monetary system, it really started after World War II, 1944. We were nearing the end of the war. D-Day was coming or maybe it just happened. We're getting pretty close.
And Europe in particular was very worried that after the war they would fall into the same Great Depression that happened after World War I when we had the Great Depression. So they brought in all the economists and all the money and people got on the Queen Mary and went to the states to Bretton Woods. You've heard of Bretton Woods probably? No. The Bretton Woods system? Okay.
So Bretton Woods is just this resort. They all got together and they decided that they would have a new monetary system for the entire world. I'm not an economist, but I've looked at this long enough to understand it. And when they came out after two weeks, he said, OK, we're going to have this thing called the International Monetary Fund, the IMF.
And they're going to manage the interest rates or they manage the currency exchange between all the individual countries with the U.S. dollar as the reserve currency. So we became the money of the world and we back it by gold. And the idea was one dollar could always be exchanged for 35 ounces of gold. And, you know, when you're the reserve currency, everyone has to have the dollar.
So everybody wanted our dollar. What did we do? We signed the Marshall Plan. We sent tens, you know, just billions of dollars over. All our companies went into Europe, started building factories. And, you know, so the dollar kept going in. All these other currencies kind of came a little bit weaker because we were so strong with our money. And then people got a little worried about the dollar.
They looked around and went like, hey, do you guys have the gold to back that up in Fort Knox? Of course we didn't because we just kept printing money and sending it over. And then you get into this thing called the Triffin dilemma. And that means that when you are the reserve currency. your currency is basically overvalued and you can't export anything.
And that's exactly, and I'm skipping over a lot, but that's where we are today. Our products are too expensive to ship to China and sell in China because of the value of our dollar. This is why President Trump is saying, All our money is flowing out towards you. We need to get some of that back. So we're going to raise tariffs. I think it's a short term solution. So I think two things will happen.
One is we have this sovereign wealth fund, which you've heard him talk about the sovereign wealth fund. So in that will be the value of our public land that the government owns and all kinds of other things will be valued at this astronomical amount. And in that will also be the strategic Bitcoin reserve that the president promised. Now we get stable coins.
