Chapter 1: What is the main topic of this episode?
The Joe Rogan Experience.
Showing by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day.
What are the odds that I contact you on Instagram and the fucking day you're here is the day your book comes out? It's pretty unlikely. Kind of crazy. A little bit. Right? You know, it's kind of like the universe smiled upon us. You know what I mean? It's like synchronicity. If you want to believe in the simulation, sometimes I do.
I'm with you. Sometimes you just see something and you're like, this is a simulation, right? Right. We're not in the real. Yeah. There's a second and a third and a fourth and so on.
Sometimes just things seem like God is showing you satire. Like there's just a little fun thrown in there.
I'm with you.
And a lot of it is on your Instagram page. I have to tell you, dude, I have wasted so much fucking time, so much time watching your videos going blank. What the fuck?
Is that real?
And so many things I've learned from it. It's actually, it's very educational, but it's also very fun. Cody Tucker, your book is called And Now You Know. And Now You Know. I didn't even know you had a book when I reached out to you. I just said, this guy's got to be interesting.

Chapter 2: How did Cody Tucker's book come about?
What were you doing before you were doing that?
I mean, I've always had a podcast. No one watches this thing, so it's all right. We'll bump that bitch up now. Well, yeah, it might change now. But, yeah, I mean, I wouldn't necessarily recommend watching the podcast, but it exists. That's hilarious. It's all right.
That is, by the way, so much better than please watch my podcast, like and subscribe. Whenever a video gets interrupted by like and subscribe, the last thing I want to do is like and subscribe.
Like, come on. I mean, I'd rather you just, if you watch it and like it, well, thank you. If you don't, you get in line.
Well, that's how podcasts get good. Yeah. That's what I started out doing with this. I never advertised this thing once. Yeah. This thing got where it is 100% word of mouth.
Yeah.
That's it.
Yeah. So I started watching pretty early and it was, but it still had like a pretty decent following then. But I know like you started like. We started in 2009. Yeah. So this would have been like a couple of years after that even.
But when I started, you know, me and my friend Brian, when we started, we weren't even thinking it was a podcast. We had already done these things where we'd stream live from the green room at comedy clubs back when it was on Justin TV, which became what, Jamie? Twitch.

Chapter 3: What role does social media play in modern content creation?
It's all like a writer in Maine. Well, and they're all based on just things that are happening to him, like- I can't remember which book it is that's about him going through alcohol DTs. Oh, fuck. I can't remember. But let's put up the bookography.
His bookography, whatever you would call it. Bibliography? Bibliography. If you look at his bibliography, it's insane.
He wrote so many bangers. Carrie's number one, and then it's like Carrie, Salem's Lot, The Shining.
Couple other it like and then Christine which yeah, I didn't enjoy the dark half move It's like what I hate that cliche of the books better because it's never better because you can see the movie you're right But they never nail it.
Yeah, it's just too hard Well, the shining kind of does because it's being done by Stanley Kubrick, right? But he hated it Which is so nuts.
Well, he said that he thought Nicholson turned crazy right away and he wanted it to be a very gradual thing You know who he wanted?
Who? Robin Williams. Oh, my God. He would have nailed it. Robin Williams or Harrison Ford.
Bro, have you ever seen Robin Williams in that 24-hour photo movie where he plays a psycho?
One-hour photo. Oh, that's it. That's it, dude. That movie is so good. Oh, my God. It's insane. He's so good in it. He might be one of the greatest actors of all time. Crazy how good he is in that movie because you just really believe he's a psycho. Yeah, because he's so lovable at first, but there's all these little signs that keep this guy away from your kids. There's layers.

Chapter 4: How has the perception of history changed in pop culture?
No, you could like take a budding scene and pump it up. But, but that scene's already there. Like it was already going to exist. Like it already was existing. I mean, there was like the beat neck stuff in New York that was already happening way before any of this. So like, And they were just kind of the next generation of that, just the West Coast version.
But, you know, there's like that's all that was already there. So, yeah, if you want to say there's like a conspiracy that they pumped it up and like put more money into like marketing their music to make sure that those artists music got sold more and played on the radio more like kind of a payola sort of thing. Right. That makes sense. Yeah. That could be. I don't know that it happened, but.
I know, it's confusing, right? Because you wanna draw conclusions, but then you gotta go, okay, you can't invent Janis Joplin. You can't make that in a lab. When she's singing Peace of My Heart, that's like God just kissed her with this talent. You can't engineer that, I don't think.
I don't think. There's no way.
But if they could do that, they could manipulate all of reality.
Well, if they could do that, then they should probably do another one. Jesus Christ. I mean, the amount of times that I've seen like people on TV, they're supposed to be these like massively famous artists. I'm like, I don't know who any of these people are. And I'm like in the age where I should still know who all these people are. Like, I'm pretty young, but like.
yeah, I don't know who they are and they all sound horrible. Like, I'm just, I don't, like, like this is the proof of there being some simulation where we're all just like listening to the same. But I wonder if people thought that about every damn genre of music.
Like, I think they did, but I think there's something particularly lost about this current generation because of social media. Yeah. Because of what we're talking about with those chat bots arguing with each other. And we know for sure that happens all over Twitter and Instagram. There's a lot of bot accounts and just, I think people are super confused as to like what's like a real thing. Right.
What's real? What resonates? Like what feels – what's cool and what's not? What's being promoted and artificially astroturfed and what's just fucking cool or draws people into it? And it's harder to tell now. It's tricky.
