Did you see this?

Joe Rogan (0:08)

And we're back. Trump's latest conspiracy?

Brian Redban (0:11)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (0:11)

No, what is it?

Brian Redban (0:12)

I guess he's saying that there's a New York Times piece that contains a paragraph saying Trump suggested that the Axis Hollywood tape wasn't real. So he's like saying that never existed.

Joe Rogan (0:21)

Oh no, yeah, he said, well I think, are those other two microphones on or something? So the TV was on, is that what it is? I think he said, in passing to someone, like how do we even know that's real?

Dude, do you know how tired he must be?

Brian Redban (0:37)

I'm so tired.

Joe Rogan (0:38)

Just listen, just think how tired you are, right? Just doing normal stuff, doing podcasts, doing comedy shows, you know? Having a girlfriend, right? It's tiring. Imagine being 70 and being the fucking president and being in a position where you're like, why did I do this?

Why did I do this? He's got, I mean, maybe, look, maybe, let's just give him the benefit of the doubt. Maybe he went into this job with the best of intentions. But he was just overwhelmed by conflict every step of the way. He's tested in a way that his character was never tested before, and all these people are mad at him, and it's just hell, hell on earth.

70, so tired.

Brian Redban (1:19)

And he's getting the worst comments ever.

Joe Rogan (1:20)

Every day like this, tired. But here's the thing.

There was an article that was written, not meaning in any way to disparage the great president of ours. But there was a article that was written a while back that where this guy found out that Trump had some sort of a prescription for amphetamines, like way back in the day, which again, that word's a dirty word, but let's just break down what that means. It's a series and a class of drugs that's a stimulant. And there's a lot of people that use stimulants, including me.

I love coffee. I drink these caveman nitros. For a lot of people, this might as well be a drug. This is 270 milligrams, this little can. 270 milligrams of caffeine. So I'm no hypocrite, I try not to be, at least. So I'm just being honest. There's nothing wrong with stimulants. I enjoy coffee, but that's the only one I fuck with.

Other than that new Vigil, I've tried that stuff a few times and I will try it, like say if I have to drive home, if I'm driving home from San Francisco, it's like 10 o'clock at night, I know I'm not gonna get home until three in the morning, four in the morning. I will take one of those, because it'll keep you from falling asleep.

Brian Redban (2:35)

That's what it's made for.

Joe Rogan (2:36)

Yes, it's not, apparently what I've read was that that's what they prescribe it for, but what it's made for, the guy, and it was originally called Pro Vigil, right?

Brian Redban (2:45)

No, that's two different ones, but they're pretty much the same.

Joe Rogan (2:49)

Yeah, but one of them's a new one.

Brian Redban (2:51)

New Vigil.

Joe Rogan (2:51)

And I think New Vigil's a new one, right? And I think what they did is like there was probably some sort of, I don't know, maybe it's an improvement or maybe it was some sort of a copyright thing or a trademark thing.

I'm gonna ask Jamie to Google a bunch of shit.

What did we start with? Start with the Trump amphetamine thing. But here's the thing, that's what Adderall is, folks. And I know a fucking shitload of people that are on that stuff. And I've talked about it ad nauseum, I'm sorry if I'm boring you. I just, for people that have never heard me talk about this, you gotta get it out. Fun fact, 19, excuse me?

Jamie Vernon (3:29)

I said, I think it came from this tweet, which this guy contributed for Vanity Fair.

Joe Rogan (3:34)

Yeah, Kurt Eichenwalde, I believe is the way you say his last name.

It says, fun fact, in 1982, Trump started taking amphetamine derivatives. He says abuse them, but that's his classification, right? Only supposed to take two for 25 days, stayed on for eight years, really.

Brian Redban (3:51)

The second tweet, the one below, it says, White House admitted to it to me. He took it for a short amount of time for a diet.

Joe Rogan (3:59)

A diet when he was not overweight. I counted with med records, they cut me off. People miss reading. Drug was diethylpropane, 75 milligrams a day. Prescriptions filled at Dwayne Reid on 57
