#1364 - Brian Redban

Joe Rogan (0:03)

Hello, Brian. What are you doing?

Brian Redban (0:06)

Just hanging.

Joe Rogan (0:07)

Yeah, you're not sober, are you? This isn't sober October for you.

Brian Redban (0:10)

You're not doing it?

Joe Rogan (0:12)

You can get high. I'll watch.

Brian Redban (0:13)

Can I blow it on you?

Joe Rogan (0:15)

Yeah, I don't think that counts. Oh, this is a joint.

This fat one. That's Mike Tyson's weed.

Brian Redban (0:24)

Oh, sweet.

Joe Rogan (0:28)

I got a torch. I could smoke a cigar with you.

That's legal. Ari and I were thinking that when we started Sober October, we started smoking cigars, we were thinking maybe that will disqualify us when we just quit.

Brian Redban (0:40)

Yeah, what does... Kibucha has alcohol.

Joe Rogan (0:44)

But it can't really get you drunk. You stay sober. You'd have to drink a case of it to even catch a bug.

SPEAKER_3 (0:50)

But if you scheduled a doctor's appointment, like a dentist appointment, they gave you some...

Joe Rogan (0:54)

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_3 (0:55)

You get lit up.

Joe Rogan (0:57)

Yeah, like what if you get surgery? Like what if somebody got their appendix taken out?

Brian Redban (1:01)

Yeah, you're allowed to do any kind of medication or medicine?

Joe Rogan (1:04)

No, you have to die.

There's no real rules for that. I mean, look, it's not... The thing about this contest that's really stupid is there's no consequences.

SPEAKER_3 (1:19)

Not even a friendly penalty of like... No, there's nothing.

Joe Rogan (1:23)

I could have a glass of wine right now. Nothing could happen.

Brian Redban (1:26)

Oh no, I lost.

Joe Rogan (1:27)

Oh my God, I lost. I'll tell you what though, I've been getting a lot of messages from people that are inspired, and it makes me feel real good. I reached out to some dude yesterday on Instagram because he lost something like 200 fucking pounds.

I mean, it's crazy. That's the dude who had the scars all over because he got the extra skin removed after he lost all the weight. It's amazing. Sober October.

Sometimes you just have to have a thing like that where everybody goes, I'm going to do it too. And then it gives you the reason, like a motivation to get going. Sometimes that's all people need, man.

Brian Redban (2:04)

Yeah, I just got over the keto thing, so now I'm just like, fuck that. I feel like I'm free again. Like I can have normal food again.

That's hard to do, man.

Joe Rogan (2:16)

Keto's hard to do.

Brian Redban (2:17)

It kind of got to me to the point where now I'm doing the opposite. I'm just like, I want to eat everything because I've been wanting to eat pizza for so long.

Joe Rogan (2:26)

Like Catholic schoolgirls. Tell them to stay away from tech and they can't wait to get ahold of one. That's what it is.

People don't like being told what to do. They don't like being forced into something that they don't enjoy.

That's why school is ineffective. That's why so many things don't work. But the keto thing, the problem with it is, I think it's a healthy thing for a lot of folks. If you have epilepsy, apparently it's the thing, because it can stop your seizures. There's people that have epilepsy, they get ketogenic and it just kicks it off. You don't get seizures anymore.

But it's boring. Every now and then I want pasta. And also fruit. I like fruit.

Brian Redban (3:10)

That was the biggest one for me, just fruit. Like watermelon. You know how great just having some watermelon in the morning is, you know?

Joe Rogan (3:15)

Oh my god. It's the most delicious fruit ever, I think. Like a good, perfect watermelon on a hot day.

My god. It's amazing. You know, it's a fucked up fruit though, because it's only racist fruit.

You know? It's like the only fruit that's attached to racism. There's no other fruit where you can make fun of someone for eating and it's like racist. Have you ever had that durian shit?

Brian Redban (3:40)

Yeah. That's good.

Joe Rogan (3:41)

It's not bad, right? But god, it smells weird.

Brian Redban (3:44)

It smells horrible. It smells horrible.

Joe Rogan (3:45)

Have you had it, Jamie?

It's like, they have it in Thailand. In Thailand, they love it. I tried it in Thailand. It's like this weird...

Brian Redban (3:52)

It's like spiky looking.

Joe Rogan (3:53)

Yeah, spiky on the outside. Then the inside is kind of mango-like. Sort of like a pale mango.

It's not my favorite, but I tried it, but god damn, it smells like dog shit. It smells so bad that they ban it in a lot of hotels, because people will go into hotels and folks that come from a culture where they eat that stuff all the time, they'll bring bags of it, and the whole family is eating that stuff, and it wafts down the hallway, and people are like, what in the fuck?
