Yannis Pappas (0:16)
Good to see ya again!
Joe Rogan (0:17)
Good to see you too, brother.
Yannis Pappas (0:18)
Yeah.
Joe Rogan (0:18)
What's crackleacking?
Yannis Pappas (0:19)
Not much, man. Just, you know, trying to dodge this delta.
Joe Rogan (0:23)
Yeah, or the gamma, or whatever the ______.
Yannis Pappas (0:24)
The gamma, the rays, yeah, the delta, the alpha.
Joe Rogan (0:27)
It's wild out there.
Yannis Pappas (0:28)
Yeah.
Joe Rogan (0:28)
It's wild out there.
Yannis Pappas (0:29)
It's wild, yeah.
Joe Rogan (0:30)
It's hard to know what's right and what's wrong.
Some people say, don't worry about it, the delta is, it's less dangerous, but more contagious. And then some people say, no, people are getting really sick.
Yannis Pappas (0:40)
Yeah, yeah.
Joe Rogan (0:41)
Vaccinated people are getting sick in Europe, not in Europe, but in Israel, there was a study that was released. It was something like, you know, they're like the most vaccinated country. Israel is, apparently. I think they have somewhat close to, I'll read it here. I think it's close to like 90 percent of the people been vaccinated.
And so now they have a lot of people that are in the hospital that are vaccinated.
Yannis Pappas (1:04)
Yeah, because I guess the more people that get vaccinated, the more people will have those breakthrough infections.
Joe Rogan (1:11)
What I love about now is like, I have 80 percent, 80 percent of all COVID patients previously vaccinated in the hospital.
Yannis Pappas (1:18)
Wow. I thought that was like corrected to like 40 percent.
That's right there. If it's on the phone, it's got to be true.
Joe Rogan (1:24)
Must be.
Yannis Pappas (1:25)
It must be true at this point.
Joe Rogan (1:27)
Is it Fauci approved?
Yannis Pappas (1:28)
If it's Fauci approved, yeah, I don't know. I mean, hey, if this thing comes back, just be podcasting.
Joe Rogan (1:35)
Yeah, just lock down and have HEPA filters everywhere. Yeah. I mean, like March of 2020, I remember thinking like, this could be some Mad Max, like Road Warrior type shit where the streets are empty. And then when they started looting, that was one of the things that really freaked me out, the looting in LA, when no one was doing anything about it, when they're smashing windows, running into stores and stealing clothes and shit.
Yannis Pappas (1:57)
Yeah.
Yeah. And who knows? That could come back. That could come back again. Round two.
Joe Rogan (2:02)
Oh, for sure.
Yannis Pappas (2:02)
Just like me coming back here. Ding, ding.
Joe Rogan (2:05)
It's not likely going to happen around here. There's far too many firearms.
Yannis Pappas (2:09)
Yes.
Joe Rogan (2:09)
This is the good thing about overarmed places. They're not good places to loot.
Yannis Pappas (2:15)
No. I bet you there's a lot of people who are on the left who are rethinking the Second Amendment and their view on it just because the context has changed. Yeah.
Joe Rogan (2:23)
My own friends.
Yannis Pappas (2:24)
Yeah.
Joe Rogan (2:24)
Friends that were very anti-gun were asking me to borrow guns. When the shit started hitting the fan in LA, they were asking to borrow guns. And I was like, you can't borrow a gun because if you shoot someone with the borrowed gun, I am in trouble.
Yannis Pappas (2:36)
Right. Right.
Joe Rogan (2:37)
And especially in LA because there's weird laws. I don't even think you're allowed to shoot someone in your home unless you're in danger. And then you have to prove that you're in danger.
Yannis Pappas (2:47)
And then you have to apologize for whatever part of the systematic problem you contributed to why this person broke into your house.
I think you have to do that in court. Yeah, you got to stand up and say, you know what, I'm sorry. Depends on who you are, but you got to say, I'm sorry for contributing to whatever historical factors have led to this crime.
Joe Rogan (3:04)
Maybe you can fly a couple of like inclusive flags outside your house.
Yannis Pappas (3:07)
That's actually part of what you got to do.
Joe Rogan (3:09)
Have you seen the new flag? There's a new pride flag.
Yannis Pappas (3:13)
I got them all out there. I got Black Lives Matter. I have a rainbow flag. I got it all.
Joe Rogan (3:17)
Rainbow's not enough anymore.
Yannis Pappas (3:18)
It's like a new security system. I'm just like, hey man, this property is whatever.
