#1738 - Ben O'Brien

Joe Rogan (0:04)

The Joe Rogan Experience.

Ben O'Brien (0:13)

Good to see you, my friends. It feels really comfortable in here.

Joe Rogan (0:16)

It's been a while.

Ben O'Brien (0:17)

I know, I missed you.

Joe Rogan (0:19)

This is so appropriate that I'm mixing this with a nice little benchmade knife.

We're making rye brains. This is a...

Ben O'Brien (0:26)

We are.

Joe Rogan (0:27)

Well, we figured out a couple of different drinks one time on a hunting trip in Lanai, and one of them was the Cat Lady.

SPEAKER_3 (0:33)

That was John Dudley's creation.

Ben O'Brien (0:37)

The Cat Lady.

There's no way to know. Do you remember what was in the Cat Lady?

Joe Rogan (0:41)

The Cat Lady had red bull, red wine, and I think it was tequila.

Ben O'Brien (0:46)

Tequila, for sure.

There's no way to really recreate that. John Dudley's everybody's uncle.

Joe Rogan (0:55)

He could put them away. He knows how to put them away. We did a podcast.

Ben O'Brien (0:59)

Podcast in Paradise.

Joe Rogan (1:01)

Yeah, it was a lot of fun. Who was on that? Remy was on that one.

Shane Dorian.

Ben O'Brien (1:07)

Shane Dorian.

Joe Rogan (1:08)

It was classic. We had a giant dinner table in my hotel room just covered with bottles.

Ben O'Brien (1:15)

And you emptied the minibar. You're like, guys, guys, let's have a podcast.

Joe Rogan (1:20)

We literally opened up the minibar. And I don't even remember what equipment we used to record.

Ben O'Brien (1:26)

I was employed then as a marketing person. I was like, this is it.

Joe Rogan (1:29)

Was that what you were working for Yeti? Yeah.

Ben O'Brien (1:32)

I was like, this is the end of my career. I think I might even told you guys after, like, that could be it for me.

Joe Rogan (1:37)

That could be a problem. We got a little wild, but I don't think it was that bad.

Ben O'Brien (1:41)

No, no.

Joe Rogan (1:42)

I don't think we said anything that was too crazy.

Ben O'Brien (1:43)

I think we did just fine. We created the worst drink ever. And people actually, to the discredit of the American public, people actually made that and drank that.

Joe Rogan (1:53)

Start drinking cat laced.

Ben O'Brien (1:54)

They did.

Joe Rogan (1:54)

They weren't that bad.

Ben O'Brien (1:56)

Which is the surprising part.

Joe Rogan (1:58)

Yeah. The Rye Brain, which is what we're making now, that was your creation, I believe.

Ben O'Brien (2:03)

I want to say Dudley was also involved.

Joe Rogan (2:07)

But Rye Brain is alpha brain instant, the delicious, alpha brain is like a-

Ben O'Brien (2:13)

Memory.

Joe Rogan (2:14)

Yeah. Well, it is normally, like it's just a supplement, but we have alpha brain instant, you add to water, it actually tastes good. This one I'm drinking here is lemon.

No, pineapple.

Ben O'Brien (2:23)

This one, yeah. I was stirring my drink. I didn't have a spoon, so I was stirring it with a pack of coconut lime flavor.

Joe Rogan (2:28)

Oh.

Ben O'Brien (2:28)

With a little-

Joe Rogan (2:30)

Ben O'Brien gave me this sweet little knife.

Ben O'Brien (2:32)

Oh, look at that.

Joe Rogan (2:32)

I feel how light that is.

Ben O'Brien (2:35)

You done any- Oh, it's got like a little- It's so light. Design on it. You done any work with this on animal parts?

Joe Rogan (2:39)

No, no. That's just a little carry one. They gave it to me when I was in Portland. I did a show up in Portland and they gave me that.

Ben O'Brien (2:45)

Just don't fly on a plane. You probably fly private.

Don't fly on a plane with that. They'll take it away from you.

Joe Rogan (2:49)

No, dude. Dude, Jaco gave me a big ass fucking knife, and I had it in my fanny pack. I went straight through security, no problem. And then I sent him a photo of it from my hotel room. I go, hey. I go, look who's protecting your air.

Ben O'Brien (3:06)

I think if it's in a fanny pack, though.

Joe Rogan (3:07)

Oh, yeah. They figured this guy's safe.

Ben O'Brien (3:09)

He's not going to do anything. He's wearing a fanny pack.

Joe Rogan (3:10)

He's a good guy.

Ben O'Brien (3:11)

It's leather. It's shiny.

Joe Rogan (3:14)

Don't a lot of people use fanny packs for concealed carry?

Ben O'Brien (3:17)

Yeah, that is popular in the concealed carry world.

Joe Rogan (3:19)

Have you seen those Velcro ones that they have? That you just pull a tab or shh, whoosh.
