SPEAKER_1 (0:04)

The Joe Rogan Experience.

Joe Rogan (0:12)

Hello, folks. Good to see you.

Robb Wolf (0:15)

Good to see you.

Joe Rogan (0:16)

Thanks for coming.

Robb Wolf (0:17)

I'm glad we didn't make it snow again in Texas.

Joe Rogan (0:19)

You almost did. I mean, it can snow. It might snow today. It's very possible, because it was drizzling when I left the house, and it was 30 degrees.

So, which is not supposed to happen. It's supposed to be snow.

Robb Wolf (0:29)

Hopefully, it won't be the snowpocalypse part two.

Joe Rogan (0:32)

Yeah, last time you were supposed to come, it became a complete disaster, but it was fun. It was fun to watch people slide around and know that this city has zero infrastructure in terms of dealing with snow. It's kind of, because I grew up in Massachusetts where it's, you know, they know how to handle snow.

Out here, they're baffled.

Robb Wolf (0:52)

Do you want to, she got, tell them what happened with you.

Diana Rodgers (0:56)

Well, well, so my flight from, I'm from Boston, and my flight from Houston to Austin was canceled. So I got the last SUV.

You don't know how much I wanted to be on your show. I got the last SUV, drove through the ice storm to Austin where there was like just dead cars, you know, it was like zombie apocalypse.

Got to a Marriott around the corner from here and thought, well, at least I'll be able to walk if nothing else. And my room overlooked this on-ramp and I just every day for a week with no running water and no bottled water, watched the cars just slide up and down. And then I finally went out to Robb's house where he at least had a pool for running toilets. But I was living on basically like White Claw and canned tuna.

Joe Rogan (1:46)

Oh my god, this was when you were supposed to be here? Oh my god.

Robb Wolf (1:51)

I still have a can of wolf chili that she bought here. That I got at a gas station. But she didn't have a can opener and she was just like, I don't know how to get into this thing.

Joe Rogan (1:58)

The thing is, if you grew up in a place that has winter, like Massachusetts, you're like, this is nothing.

Like guys, this is a normal winter day. Like what the fuck? And it killed this place for a solid week.

Diana Rodgers (2:10)

Well, that's why I still came because I was like, they're overreacting. It's just one or two inches of snow, but I didn't realize it was going to be misting ice.

Joe Rogan (2:19)

Yeah, but, you know, come on, how much are trucks?

Like, take care of this, guys. Get some sand. Like, is that that hard? I mean, it happens.

It does happen. I mean, the idea that you just, like, shut everything down for a year, how much does that cost? Seems like trucks are less expensive than whatever that costs.

Diana Rodgers (2:36)

Yeah, yeah, and all the poor people that didn't know you can't heat your house with a stove.

Joe Rogan (2:42)

Well, worse, people use grills.

Yeah, yeah, they use like barbecue grills in their house, and they burnt wood and they died. You know, like people got sick.

Robb Wolf (2:50)

Yeah, that was bad news. And we were in the process of packing our house to move because we moved March 3rd up to Kalispell.

So like all of this chaos is going on, and we didn't know if like the moving truck was getting in, and then Diana made it to our place, and then we weren't sure if she was making it out of there. Like it was, I mean, first world problems, but kind of sketchy first world problems as far as they go.

Joe Rogan (3:13)

It lets you know that there is a thin veneer of civilization that keeps all the food on the shelves and all the cars moving, and it's not much. It's not much to throw it off.

Robb Wolf (3:25)

Right, right.

Joe Rogan (3:27)

I'm glad this is a good time to talk about your book. The book is Sacred Cow, Diana Rodgers, and Robb Wolf. It's available right now, The Case for Better Meat.

All I've been eating since January is meat.

All I've been eating is meat and fruit. That's my diet, meat, fruit, and eggs. I've never felt better. I've done this before in the past, but I never stuck with it. I would do like that carnivore month of January. I did it like two years ago. I lost 12 pounds. I looked great. I felt great. Then I started eating spaghetti again. Shocker.
