SPEAKER_2 (0:04)

The Joe Rogan Experience.

Joe Rogan (0:12)

All right, David Smith, how the fuck are you?

Dave Smith (0:14)

Very good, sir. Thank you for having me back.

Joe Rogan (0:19)

Always good to see you. Fuck.

Dave Smith (0:21)

You too.

Joe Rogan (0:22)

Last night was fun.

Dave Smith (0:23)

Yeah, it was great.

Joe Rogan (0:23)

Good times. And tonight should be fun too.

Dave Smith (0:26)

Hell yeah.

Joe Rogan (0:27)

Hell yeah.

Dave Smith (0:27)

Doing gigs out in Texas with Joe Rogan, right when things are all calm for you and relaxed.

Joe Rogan (0:32)

Everything's great. Normal.

Dave Smith (0:36)

But did you see yourself becoming the most important man in the universe?

Joe Rogan (0:39)

That's not real.

It's just attention. No. Of course not. Who the fuck would ever see that?

Dave Smith (0:47)

Yeah, it was pretty unbelievable. You took the logical progression from being a stand-up comedian, to an MMA analyst, to bringing down the entire regime in the United States of America.

Joe Rogan (0:59)

Bring down the regimes.

Dave Smith (1:01)

Well, I can wish.

Joe Rogan (1:02)

Yeah, well, that's you, though. You're that libertarian cynicist who.

Dave Smith (1:07)

I don't think of it as, I think I was being an optimist when I said bringing down the regime.

Joe Rogan (1:12)

Well, what the fuck replaces it? All those, like, all the crazy Antifa people that want to burn it all down, like, we gotta destroy democracy. Like, and replace it with what?

Dave Smith (1:22)

Well, that's a, yeah, I think for them, like, the CHAZ or something.

Joe Rogan (1:26)

Yes, remember that?

Dave Smith (1:27)

Yeah, I don't think that's gonna be much better. But I'd be okay with maybe, like, something crazy, like the Bill of Rights.

That'd be cool, just to have, I'd be okay taking a step back toward that.

Joe Rogan (1:38)

But it's that attitude about bringing it all down. One of my favorite ones, I know I sent you this before, Jamie, it's this woman who said to stop fat phobia, we have to destroy Western civilization.

Dave Smith (1:52)

That seems a little extreme.

Joe Rogan (1:55)

That kind of, but that's my point, is that like that is the attitude, that it's so silly.

You know, that they're saying something like, like you haven't thought this through at all. Like you don't have a real plan, but you just don't want people to make fun of you being fat. So you think that the best way to handle this is to destroy Western civilization. I'm trying to find it.

Dave Smith (2:16)

It's gonna be really disappointing when she destroys Western civilization and then finds out people still make fun of her for being fat.

Joe Rogan (2:22)

Look at this. To end fat phobia, we need to dismantle Western civilization. It says Philly therapist.

Dave Smith (2:29)

Can you imagine someone who really needs a therapist and that's who you get as your therapist?

I feel like she would definitely force that into therapy. I don't know, I never really communicated with my father and she's like, do you think we need to destroy Western civilization?

Joe Rogan (2:42)

But it's like if you just tell her, ma'am, if you just lost weight, you'd be feeling better.

You'd be better. It'd be better forever. You would have less disease. You'd have less problems. Your joints wouldn't hurt. You'd have more energy.

Dave Smith (2:57)

Yes, it would be objectively better.

Joe Rogan (2:59)

For everything about your life, all aspects of your life, you'd be happier.

Your hormones would work better. Your whole endocrine system would function more fluidly. Your heart would work better. You'd feel better.

Dave Smith (3:13)

We, somewhere along the line in this country, we became allergic to harsh truths. Like anything that just is like, look, this is the truth, but it's probably not gonna make you feel warm and mushy to hear this.

Joe Rogan (3:26)

Yeah, I got another one. I gotta send Jamie this right now because it's so fucking stupid.

It is Adele got in trouble last night. This is like, what is happening?

This literally makes no sense. So Adele did this, I mean, I don't even know what you would call it. They were calling it gender neutral, some gender neutral thing. And she talked about how much she loved being a woman and they were mad at her.

Dave Smith (3:54)

That's very offensive.

Joe Rogan (3:55)

They slammed her.

She was slammed for telling gender neutral award show that she loves being a woman. Like, you can't love being a woman.

Dave Smith (4:04)

It's horrible.

Joe Rogan (4:05)
