Joe Rogan (0:07)

And we're live, ladies and gentlemen.

It's the end of the world, as we know it. Montana's been on fire for a month. Florida has three hurricanes headed towards it, and Houston is still half underwater.

Brian Redban (0:20)

Houston's sad.

Joe Rogan (0:22)

Have you been?

Brian Redban (0:23)

No, a lot of my exes are there, and she's sending me photos and videos. Her whole neighborhood's gone, and people have to put everything outside for the insurance collectors to look at it.

So everyone's house has a pile in front of it of all their stuff, and it says, no looting, please.

Joe Rogan (0:41)

I saw that on TV.

Dude, it's like, there's nothing stopping that from happening for months.

This is the thing about Hurricane Irma. They have Harvey hits Houston, and then Hurricane Irma. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think they said that this is very unusual, because Hurricane Irma picked up speed in the ocean, which is a really bad sign. They usually pick up speed in the Gulf, and the idea is that the Gulf has water that's warmer, and that's what causes, I don't know shit about hurricanes. I'm totally talking out of my ass, right? I really don't understand it. But I'm pretty sure that's what they're saying, is that this is a very unusual storm, because it actually picked up speed and picked up size and power in the ocean, which means the ocean's warmer. So this could be a consequence of having a warmer ocean, is that these fucking hurricanes could get bigger and bigger in the ocean.

Brian Redban (1:37)

And it's usually, it's really unusual, because you have such a big storm, like the one that hit Houston, that's usually once a year, once every couple years, it's not twice in like a month.

And then there's like what, Jose's right behind it? That's craziness.

Joe Rogan (1:50)

I think they said there's two behind it.

SPEAKER_3 (1:53)

The other one formed in the Gulf, next to like off of Mexico, east of Mexico.

Joe Rogan (1:58)

So it's just another one at the same time, but in a different place?

SPEAKER_3 (2:00)

It's just kind of sitting there right now. And there could be another one forming off of the Cape in Africa where they all usually form, but.

Joe Rogan (2:06)

Fuck man.

Brian Redban (2:07)

We don't get hurricanes because it's cold water. Is that the logic behind it?

Joe Rogan (2:11)

Yeah, I think that's the move. You want to live near cold water, just suck it up like a man and deal with that cold water. That water is fucking cold too. When you get in the water in the Pacific Ocean, you're like, hey, what is this? Like this is weird.

It's crazy cold. Even in the middle of August, it could be 100 degrees in Malibu. You get in that water and you're like, holy shit.

This is fucking cold.

Brian Redban (2:35)

I've only been in it twice since I've lived here, like 13 years. I remember the first week I moved out here, I was like, I'm going to the ocean, I'm running the ocean, freezing, never hit it again.

Joe Rogan (2:44)

What is all this you're showing us, Jimmy? Please don't say that's hurricanes. It's the norm of hurricanes.

SPEAKER_3 (2:49)

These are the tropical cyclones of the 2017 Pacific hurricane season. So these are cyclones that I guess have already happened this year.

I was assuming when I was pulling it up, they were in the past, like long time ago. I didn't know this many had already come here.

Joe Rogan (3:05)

You know, when you look at this picture, like if you look at this picture of the United States, it gives you such a way better sense of what it really is.

Because that picture, like, because all the browns and the greens, and because I'm not seeing cities, and because it's like a perfect scale, like pull back a little bit so you see it in scale with the ocean again. Like when you're looking at that, you realize, oh, that shit could shift left and right a bunch of times. Easy.

SPEAKER_4 (3:34)

Like there's way more water than there is ground.

Joe Rogan (3:38)

Like that is a fucking problem. That's a giant problem. We're next to an enormous chunk of blue. It's so big.

Dude, I'll tell you, man, when I was living in that house in Malibu for a couple of months on the water, I rented a spot on the water. That's when you realize, you go, oh, that's a monster. That's like you're living on the edge of a world that can just reach in and swallow you.
