Hello. Welcome.
Joe Rogan (0:15)
Thanks for doing this.
Meghan Murphy (0:17)
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Joe Rogan (0:17)
Very nice to meet you.
Meghan Murphy (0:18)
It's great to meet you. I'm really excited to be here.
Joe Rogan (0:20)
We've talked about you eight or ten times.
Meghan Murphy (0:23)
I know, it drives me crazy.
Joe Rogan (0:24)
Does it?
Meghan Murphy (0:24)
I'm like, I want to talk too.
Joe Rogan (0:28)
What is your impression of the way people are interpreting what happened to you?
Meghan Murphy (0:34)
Well, I was really frustrated when Jack and, I don't know how to say her name properly, and I'm going to muck it up, Jack, and the head of safety.
Joe Rogan (0:43)
Vidya, yes. Let's tell people the story of what happened.
Meghan Murphy (0:47)
Okay.
Joe Rogan (0:48)
You want some of this?
Meghan Murphy (0:49)
Yes, okay, so let me, this is my favorite booze, and not just my favorite Mexican booze, my all-time favorite booze, and nobody likes it except for me. So even in Sayulita, which is, oh, this is where I'm living now, I just outed myself.
Joe Rogan (1:06)
We could edit it out if you want.
Meghan Murphy (1:08)
No, no, that's cool, that's cool, because I also, no, that's cool, leave it in.
Okay, but this is like a sipping drink. So be very reserved.
Joe Rogan (1:18)
Cheers. Sipping drink.
Meghan Murphy (1:21)
Yeah, like don't take a big gulp.
Joe Rogan (1:25)
Yo, this is Mexican moonshine.
Meghan Murphy (1:28)
Yeah, it's Mexican moonshine. So it's from the agave plant, which is like the same.
Joe Rogan (1:34)
You like it hard, lady. This is hard stuff.
Meghan Murphy (1:37)
I really like it, and I don't know what's wrong with me, honestly, because it's not like, I love hard alcohol. Makes you feel warm inside though, right?
Joe Rogan (1:46)
Yeah, for sure.
Jamie (1:47)
If that's your reaction, I can only imagine what it is like.
Joe Rogan (1:51)
It's 40% alcohol.
Yeah, what is that, 80 proof? That's 80 proof, right? Isn't it like double the percent? Is that how it works?
Jamie (2:00)
Right? That's what that moonshine was we used to drink, I think.
Meghan Murphy (2:02)
It is, it's literally moonshine. You wanna try it? You should try it.
I just wanna see your reaction. I love forcing people to try it and then seeing what they do.
Joe Rogan (2:18)
Calm down. Oh, you gotta cheers, Jamie.
We all cheers.
Meghan Murphy (2:24)
You're welcome. No, that was a joke.
Jamie (2:29)
Holy.
Joe Rogan (2:30)
Yeah, right?
Jamie (2:30)
Smells like you're gonna clean something.
Joe Rogan (2:32)
Yeah, something bad like blood.
Meghan Murphy (2:35)
This is how we stay healthy in Mexico.
Joe Rogan (2:37)
Oh, okay.
Meghan Murphy (2:37)
We just like clean everything out.
Jamie (2:39)
I can't even drink it. It's too, like, I just took a sniff as I was gonna go up and like, well, it's like three times a tequila shot, it feels like in one.
Joe Rogan (2:50)
Yeah, it's exactly what it feels like. What is it called?
Jamie (2:52)
I believe you.
Meghan Murphy (2:52)
I would say it's an acquired taste, but I loved it immediately, so.
Joe Rogan (2:56)
Estancia.
Meghan Murphy (2:57)
Okay, so it's from, it's specific to the region. So I live in Ceilita, cause I ran away from China, I mean, Canada.
But like, so it's like an hour away from Puerto Verde, and it's in the state of Nayarit. So this booze is specific to that state. And yeah, it's not like, like I don't love like chugging vodka or gin or anything like that. Like I do like like scotch and whiskey and whatever, but for whatever reason, I really love this. And everyone else thinks I'm like a psycho.
Cause I'll be like, try it, it's the best. And they're like, why are you feeding me gasoline? Like what the fuck is wrong with you?
Joe Rogan (3:37)
Maybe it represents like change to you, you know? Cause it's like, you're in this new place and you got fed up with these draconian Vancouver or Canadian restrictions. And you're just like, ah!
Meghan Murphy (3:50)
And I was like, I'm gonna go get wasted in Mexico.
Live my life. I actually genuinely like, I find it like sweet.
Joe Rogan (3:58)
This stuff. Sweet, this is not.
Meghan Murphy (4:02)
Did you also find it sweet?
Joe Rogan (4:04)
It's rugged, I took a couple of sips and I'm wet.
Jamie (4:08)
My eyes are watering.
