Tom Segura (0:13)

Well, well, well. Well, well, well. If it is an old horse worm Rogan. I'm glad you're well, man.

Joe Rogan (0:21)

Bro, do I have to sue CNN? I don't know.

Tom Segura (0:22)

I don't know, do you?

Joe Rogan (0:24)

They're making shit up. They keep saying I'm taking horse dewormer. I literally got it from a doctor. A doctor. It's an American company.

They won the Nobel Prize in 2015 for use in human beings. And CNN is saying I'm taking horse dewormer.

Tom Segura (0:40)

Yeah, so.

Joe Rogan (0:41)

They must know that that's a lie. There's a lot of people saying it. Right, but a lot of people can say it. Like the internet says it, who cares? Sure. But CNN is saying it.

Jim Acosta.

SPEAKER_3 (0:51)

I meant like USA Today, a few other places.

Tom Segura (0:54)

And they're talking about Ivor Macdon, right?

Joe Rogan (0:57)

Yeah.

Tom Segura (0:57)

So what, cause I don't know, I just saw so much news about you. I mean, I would talk to you and check on you and see if you're all right. And you're like, you threw the kitchen sink at it, you said, which was stuff that, you know, you took IV drips and what was it? Mono what?

Joe Rogan (1:12)

Monoclonal antibodies.

Tom Segura (1:14)

And what is monoclonal antibodies?

Joe Rogan (1:15)

It's the shit they gave Trump.

Tom Segura (1:17)

Okay.

Joe Rogan (1:17)

Yeah.

Tom Segura (1:18)

And then what, so who said, or did you already want Ivor Macdon?

Joe Rogan (1:22)

Well, I had this guy on Dr. Pierre Cori, and he is, what is the organization? He's from Frontline COVID Critical Care Workers.

He's a well-established doctor. He's treated thousands of people with COVID. And they've, early on the pandemic, they found some good efficacy with Ivor Macdon. Frontline 19 Critical Care Alliance.

So I had him on, and he had talked to me about, he's not the only doctor that told me to take it. Multiple doctors told me to take it. It's supposed to have, what is the exact thing it's supposed to do? There's something that I highlighted. And this is, obviously, I'm not a doctor. It says Ivor Macdon was found to be a blocker of viral replicase, R-E-P-L-I-C-A-S-A, protease, and I don't know what this word is, human TMPRSS2, I don't know. But what they didn't highlight is that I got better.

Tom Segura (2:41)

Yeah, you got better quickly.

Joe Rogan (2:42)

They tried to make it seem as if I'm doing some wacky shit that's completely ineffective.

CNN was saying that I'm a distributor of misinformation. Also, that was the other thing that happened in Tokyo, in Japan, which is apparently they're very conservative about the medication that they use and the medications that they endorse. But the Tokyo Medical Association chairman held a live press conference recommending ivermectin to all doctors for all COVID patients.

Tom Segura (3:16)

So what's going on with the... It's kind of hard to figure out what's the truth in a lot of things, but with regard to this, people go, it's insane to take ivermectin. You see it everywhere. Everyone's like, this is wild, don't take this shit. And then you have the head of the fucking Tokyo, whatever medical commission saying, take ivermectin.

Joe Rogan (3:37)

Yeah, I don't know what's going on, man. There's a lot of speculation. One of the speculations involves the emergency use authorization for the vaccines, that in order for there to be an emergency use authorization, there has to be no treatment for a disease.

Tom Segura (3:54)

Right.

Joe Rogan (3:55)

So because there is this treatment in ivermectin, and there's other treatments too.

Tom Segura (4:01)

Right.

Joe Rogan (4:03)

Because of this, there's a lot of pushback against potential treatments and pretending that they don't really work or that they're conspiracy theories.

This is the grand conspiracy, right? The grand conspiracy is the pharmaceutical companies are all in cahoots to try to make anybody who takes this stuff look crazy. But what's crazy is, look how better I got. I got better pretty quick, bitch.

Tom Segura (4:25)

Let's go to, like, your whole experience. So you get back from a trip, right? And is it that night, do you arrive home and know? Or, like, on your way home, you're like, I don't feel so great.

Joe Rogan (4:38)

Well, Saturday, here's what happened. Friday night, we went out and got hammered.

Went out and played pool till 3.3 in the morning, had a bunch of drinks. Had a bunch of drinks at the show. At the show, I think I had two drinks, and then I had, like, four afterwards. So we were pretty lit. And it was 3.3 in the morning. Exhausted, plane travel, you know, flew that day from, I guess, Fort Lauderdale was the first show, then that was Tampa, and then last show was Orlando.
