Dave Smith (0:15)

Hello, Mr. Joe Rogan.

Not much, glad to be back. Thanks for coming out.

Joe Rogan (0:18)

Thanks for making the trip, man.

Sorry you lost your wallet.

We're gonna find out how libertarian you are when you get to the airport.

Dave Smith (0:24)

Oh my god. I'm really such an idiot.

Lost my wallet on a plane, buying the stupid internet. I went into my bag to get my wallet so I could buy the dumb internet, which doesn't even work. Right, it barely works. And fell asleep and left my wallet.

Joe Rogan (0:40)

Yeah, if you think you're gonna watch YouTube on that, good luck. Yeah, you can kind of tweet.

You can kind of check your email.

Dave Smith (0:47)

Yeah, yeah, it's like pointless.

Joe Rogan (0:48)

Yeah.

Dave Smith (0:49)

And I had a great, when I got to the hotel, I realized I lost my wallet. And I was like, all right, there's a Starbucks here in the hotel. I'm gonna go grab a coffee and just relax. And I go up and order a coffee, and then it just hit me. I was like, oh, I don't have a wallet.

And then I was over there and I was like, wait, hold on, let me figure out, do I have the app? And I had to go set up the whole app and everything. And then I, luckily these days, you can buy it with an app.

Joe Rogan (1:10)

Yeah, you can do Apple Pay, too, and a lot of those.

Dave Smith (1:13)

I had none of that set up, but now I have it all set up.

Joe Rogan (1:16)

It really makes you realize how we still need this little piece of plastic, this laminated thing with your face on it. You don't have that, you can't go anywhere.

Dave Smith (1:25)

Yeah, it was pretty funny trying to check into the hotel and I had to get in touch with your guy to tell the hotel that I'm in. And I really went up there and I was like, look, I'd like to check into my room. I do not have an ID, I do not have a credit card. I understand where this is probably gonna be a little bit weird from your perspective. And probably you can't run a business where you just go, sure, go on in, like, you wanna be here? And I'm like, look, I have a name, it is David Smith. Now I know that comes off, like I'm just guessing a name.

Probably top five names you would just guess.

But do you have a reservation for a Mr. Smith? And can I have that, please?

Joe Rogan (2:02)

Wasn't Mr. Smith the guy in The Matrix that was always following him around trying to kill him?

Dave Smith (2:06)

Wait, was that the?

Joe Rogan (2:08)

Was it Agent Smith? Yeah, that's me.

Dave Smith (2:10)

Well, I identify with Neo more than Agent Smith.

Joe Rogan (2:15)

Of course, Agent Smith was an asshole.

Dave Smith (2:17)

Yeah, he was a real dick.

Joe Rogan (2:18)

Yeah.

Dave Smith (2:18)

He made a few solid points.

Joe Rogan (2:20)

Did he?

Dave Smith (2:20)

That whole thing about humans being parasites, remember that, you were like, eh, thank goodness I said it.

Joe Rogan (2:25)

Yeah, if we weren't humans, we would not like humans.

Dave Smith (2:28)

Yeah, that's for sure.

Joe Rogan (2:29)

For sure.

Dave Smith (2:30)

If you were building a case against humans, like you were a neutral party talking to God, building a case against humans, you could build a pretty strong one.

Joe Rogan (2:39)

Very solid. This woman that we had on yesterday, Shanna, how do you say her last name?

What's that?

Jamie (2:45)

Swann, sorry, yeah.

Joe Rogan (2:46)

Shanna Swann.

Jamie (2:47)

Yeah, Smith is in my head.

Joe Rogan (2:48)

Oh. That's her last name. Her book, she wrote this book about how chemicals mostly leached from plastic are getting into human bodies.

One of the big ones is phthalates.

Other ones are glyphosate that round up chemical that Monsanto uses on crops. And they're affecting the way children develop in a radical and very measurable way. From the advent of petrochemicals from the 1950s, the advent of plastics that we started really using plastics a lot, the size of men's taints has shrunk. That's what, this is all crazy. This is one of the big ways that you could recognize males versus females in animals. One of the things that is so remarkably different between them is the size of the taint. The male's taints are always much larger. What'd she say, like 50% larger? 50 to 100%. 50 to 100% larger.
