#1346 - Zuby

Joe Rogan (0:03)

And we're live. What's going on, brother? How are you?

Zuby (0:05)

I'm awesome, man. It's good to be here.

Joe Rogan (0:07)

Good to have you here, man.

Zuby (0:08)

Thank you.

Joe Rogan (0:08)

I've never had a guy come in, wear his own hat and his own t-shirt. You're number one, you're the first.

Zuby (0:13)

I'm surprised by that, given how many podcasts you've done, but that's how I roll.

Joe Rogan (0:16)

I don't know if anybody's ever come in wearing their own shirt. Jamie, any thoughts?

Someone has to have, I just can't recall it. Definitely no one has worn their own hat and their own shirt. Maybe Eddie's worn his own shirt, but that's a 10th Planet shirt. That doesn't totally count.

Zuby (0:33)

It's a shirt with my face on it, too, so.

Joe Rogan (0:34)

That's a triple-mwammy.

Zuby (0:37)

Ari?

Jamie (0:38)

When he had a new shirt or something? Maybe, I don't know.

Joe Rogan (0:41)

I don't think so. Maybe.

Anyway, what's going on, man? How long you here for?

Zuby (0:45)

I'm all good, man. I'm in LA for two weeks. It's my very first time here, so I just got here two days ago, so just kind of soaking it in.

Joe Rogan (0:52)

What's the mindfuck like? It's crazy, huh?

Zuby (0:54)

It's weird, man. I feel like I was driving around in an Uber, and it feels like GTA. I think more like GTA feels like LA because that's what it's based on, but it was just kind of trippy.

Joe Rogan (1:04)

There's levels to the game, right? The top level of the game is probably either like Singapore, Beijing, or Mexico City in terms of... Mexico City is the only thing that I've ever seen that's more chaotic than LA, but LA is... It's right up there.

Zuby (1:22)

Yeah, I think Lagos is more chaotic.

Joe Rogan (1:24)

Lagos?

Zuby (1:25)

Lagos, Nigeria.

Joe Rogan (1:26)

Oh, I've never been. That's more chaotic?

Zuby (1:28)

Yeah, and Cairo. I think they're definitely more chaotic.

Joe Rogan (1:30)

Cairo, Egypt?

Zuby (1:32)

Yeah, I found them more chaotic.

Joe Rogan (1:33)

Well, Cairo, man, I would love to go to Cairo, but I just... I am nervous about traveling to Egypt. I keep hearing...

I keep hearing two stories from people that go all the time, like Egyptologists. They say it's amazing. Amazing, don't worry about it. The worst thing you have to deal with is constant beggars.

And then you hear from other people, fuck that, don't go there, it's sketchy.

Zuby (1:58)

Yeah, I haven't been for a long time. When I went, it was when I was a kid.

Yeah, but Lagos I've been to more recently, and it's certainly more hectic and chaotic than I think here is. Here, it's just interesting. It's very, very, very spread out and just seeing... Yeah, there's people driving everywhere, not much public transport and all that. Even compared to other cities in the US, it just seems like a totally different vibe, but I like it.

Joe Rogan (2:20)

Yeah, there's just too many people stuffed into one area, and everyone's driving, or they're in an Uber, so someone else is driving them. So it's just constant driving.

Zuby (2:28)

Yeah, but I'm happy to be here, man. It's a little bit surreal, but it's cool.

Joe Rogan (2:31)

Yeah, I'm sure, right? So what are you doing down here?

Zuby (2:34)

I'm doing this.

I was on The Rubin Report yesterday, actually. I've got a whole bunch of podcasts in here. That conservative guy?

Joe Rogan (2:43)

That conservative guy that got on Blaze TV? Do you know that story they wrote about him? He responded, he's like, I'm pro-gay marriage, pro-weed legalization, pro-prison reform, pro-immigration, pro-all these different things. And yet people are calling him conservative.

Zuby (2:58)

Well, we live in the times where everyone's saying is right-wing, so let it be so. I don't know.

Joe Rogan (3:04)

Well, if you're not as progressive as humanly possible, you're alt-right.

Zuby (3:09)

Well, yeah, exactly. Pretty much. I've seen all sorts of titles levied onto everybody, including yourself. So it's interesting.

Joe Rogan (3:19)

For people who don't know, Zuby won the World Championships in women's powerlifting. You identified as a woman for a brief period of time.

Zuby (3:29)

Yeah, nine seconds.

Joe Rogan (3:29)

That's all you have to do.

Zuby (3:30)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (3:31)

I mean, this is the world we live in.

Zuby (3:33)

Dude, that thing blew the internet up, but it's crazy, insane how far it went, man. Yeah, I know. I saw that. People...
