Robert Kelly (0:16)

Do you like them?

Joe Rogan (0:17)

They look good.

Robert Kelly (0:18)

Yeah? You like them? Try them on, see what they look like.

Those look fucking tough. Those are tough, dude.

These fucking look good, dude. You got to get a pair of glasses, dude. Do you need glasses?

Joe Rogan (0:33)

I do for reading.

Robert Kelly (0:34)

Those are what I can't see, my phone, without them.

Joe Rogan (0:37)

Really?

Robert Kelly (0:37)

Yeah, I can't fucking see my phone without these.

Joe Rogan (0:39)

What power are those?

Robert Kelly (0:40)

It's, I believe it's, one eye is different than the other. It's just prescription.

Joe Rogan (0:45)

One eye is different than the other?

Robert Kelly (0:46)

Yeah, like one can see better or something like that.

Joe Rogan (0:48)

Did you get injured, or is it just natural?

Robert Kelly (0:50)

No, I think they call reading glasses in England 45s, because around 45 is when your eyes start going.

Joe Rogan (0:58)

That's what happened to me.

That's probably exactly when it happened to me. I remember doing the podcast, and I couldn't read off a laptop. I was actually doing a podcast with Neil deGrasse Tyson, and I wanted to ask him about something, and I pulled up the laptop, and I was like, I can't read this.

Robert Kelly (1:13)

Yeah, out of nowhere. I had perfect sight, perfect hearing, everything.

Joe Rogan (1:16)

Yeah, it just falls off like a cliff.

Robert Kelly (1:17)

45, boom, couldn't read.

Joe Rogan (1:19)

But you know what? There's a way to stop it in its tracks.

There's supplements that you could take. There's a company called Pure Encapsulations, and they have a thing called macular support. And I started taking macular support, and it stopped it. Stopped it in its tracks.

Robert Kelly (1:34)

Really?

Joe Rogan (1:34)

Yeah, so now I can read my phone. Like, it might have even actually got a little bit better.

So like, I don't have a problem reading my phone, like reading text messages and shit. No problem. But I prefer, like, if I'm reading an article, I read with glasses on.

Robert Kelly (1:45)

Well, the thing that sucks, too, is that they don't make cool glasses for men. Reading glasses.

Joe Rogan (1:53)

Those are fucking cool. They have like a nice red tint to them.

Robert Kelly (1:57)

This is from this guy in the East Village, my friend Anthony.

Joe Rogan (2:01)

They look like they're from the East Village.

They do. They look cool.

Robert Kelly (2:05)

Yeah. This guy makes them. Like, this is like a Rolex.

There's 500 of these made. This is 230-something of 500

Joe Rogan (2:14)

Why doesn't he make more?

Robert Kelly (2:15)

It's not him. It's, I can't read it, inside Jean Paul, whoever.

Joe Rogan (2:20)

Oh, so it's like a designer.

Robert Kelly (2:21)

He's a, what is it, optometrist. Optometrist, hard word to fuckin pull.

But he's cool as shit. You walk in and he customizes everything. Like he'll take this fancy sung, the glass frame, and he'll be like, let's put this tint on it. Let me do this. And then you go in and he'll sand it down to fit your nose.

Joe Rogan (2:45)

Ooh, that's nice.

Robert Kelly (2:46)

So you can pick like all these crazy frames, and then he makes it yours, which is great. I mean, it costs money, but I love shit like that. I love when people take something and make it unique and not everybody has it.

Joe Rogan (3:02)

Customize.

Robert Kelly (3:03)

I love people who customize shit like that. Like this guy could just be, yep, here's your prescription, here's your Bauscham Lams or whatever, stupid glasses. He's like, I'm getting the coolest frames on the planet that are, you know, he has one, he get this one with, you'd look good in these too, they have Thunderbirds, silver Thunderbird going down the side. It's like Elvis would buy these glasses. Like you have to be the motherfucker to wear these glasses.

And they're like 1600 bucks.

Joe Rogan (3:36)

Are they online? Can I see what they look like?

Robert Kelly (3:38)

Yeah, his name's Anthony Shit. I forget his name. Yeah, he has a whole Instagram.

No, not Anthony Shit. Where's my phone? Go grab your phone.

Joe Rogan (3:49)

I want to see these. Because those are dope. The ones you have, I love the red tint. There's something about rose colored glasses.

You know, I remember one time I was like super high and I put on a pair of rose. Anthony Aiden?

SPEAKER_3 (4:01)

Anthony Aiden? Sorry.
