#2014 - Jim Gaffigan

Joe Rogan (0:04)

The Joe Rogan Experience.

Jim Gaffigan (0:16)

I don't eat, I don't miss it either.

Joe Rogan (0:18)

Yeah, he's got weird autoimmune issues.

So for him, there was like an elimination diet, and he found out there was just a bunch of things that his body was reacting to in a very negative way, and one of them apparently was vegetables. A lot of it is like just complex carbohydrates. You know, a lot of it is bread and pasta and stuff like that. A lot of people get really inflamed eating that, and it caused a host of issues.

Jim Gaffigan (0:41)

Isn't that great? I mean, it's, well, eventually it, isn't there, you know, like even the problem with chemo, you know, I'm a guy who tells diarrhea jokes, so I know a lot about this.

Isn't it, isn't the expectation that if they could kind of concierge your cancer treatment to your specific type of cancer for your type of body or your type of cells, that that's why people are gonna be able to live to 100, rich people are gonna be able to live to 100?

Joe Rogan (1:16)

I think there's definitely a lot of research that's done in that way, but I also think that it depends, there's so many factors when it comes to cancer. There's environmental factors, there's lifestyle factors, like what you're eating, how much stress you're under. There's a lot of genetic issues, there's a lot going on when it comes to cancer.

Jim Gaffigan (1:37)

Yeah, I mean, there is like, I mean, you just hear about people from the Philippines, like an entire family, everyone died of cancer at 40, and you're like, eh.

Joe Rogan (1:50)

Yeah.

Jim Gaffigan (1:51)

What's going on there?

Joe Rogan (1:52)

Yeah.

Unfortunately, some of it is genetic. Some people just have a shit roll of the dice, genetically.

Jim Gaffigan (2:00)

Are you saying that because I have all recessive genes?

Joe Rogan (2:03)

Do you?

Jim Gaffigan (2:04)

I mean, I am literally, I'm like, everything's recessive.

I literally went into the dermatologist, and he's like, you know what, we're just gonna, like, you know, cause I don't know if you ever get the cancer stuff, the basal cells. He's like, we should probably just chop off your arms, cause they're just all basal cells. So it's like, I am, you know, I am all recessive genes. Blonde hair, blue eyes.

Joe Rogan (2:31)

White people, really white people deal with the sun back in the day before sunscreen.

Jim Gaffigan (2:37)

Well, I think some of it is, you know, if they're in Northern Ireland or Scotland, I think it's all right.

Joe Rogan (2:48)

Yeah.

Jim Gaffigan (2:48)

And they're also not living past 40, right?

Right? I mean, they're kind of, they're like, look at this thing called alcohol. And then they're like, let's do this for the rest of our time we're on earth.

Joe Rogan (3:03)

Well, back then, like in the early, early days, they drank it because a lot of water was tainted.

Jim Gaffigan (3:10)

Right, oh yeah, during Jesus' time.

Joe Rogan (3:12)

Everyone drank wine and beer.

Jim Gaffigan (3:14)

Yeah, that's why the apostles fell asleep, is because they weren't drinking water. It was cheaper to drink wine.

And it was more of a party atmosphere.

Joe Rogan (3:25)

And probably better for you than getting horrible toxins in your water, viruses and bacteria and whatever the fuck is in, still water that's sitting around for a while.

Jim Gaffigan (3:36)

Yeah, it is.

Is there any difference between any of these waters? Because there's all this water. I mean, I like Fiji water. Hopefully, they'll send me a case now.

Joe Rogan (3:47)

That's supposed to be pretty good.

Jim Gaffigan (3:49)

But is there, and that's gotta be very good for the environment to have water shipped from an island in the North Atlantic.

Joe Rogan (3:58)

Sure, as long as they're using fossil fuels to get it here.

Jim Gaffigan (4:02)

I mean, there's water 10 feet from me, but I'd like to get mine from this Nordic country that's really far away. No, but is there any difference between these waters, except for the Poland Springs?

Joe Rogan (4:16)

There's a guy that Tom Siger and Christina Pszczewski have had on their show. What's his name? Martin Ryncz?

I forgot his name. He's an actual water connoisseur, like a water expert.

Jim Gaffigan (4:28)

Oh, wow.

Joe Rogan (4:28)

And he rates the different mineral content in waters.

Jim Gaffigan (4:32)

So he's like a sommelier for water.

Joe Rogan (4:35)

Yeah, sommelier of water.

What is his name? Martin Rees. Martin Rees, yeah. Interesting guy, and he talks to them about water. It's all, he brought a bunch of different kinds of water and tells them what's good and what's bad. You really ideally want water in a glass bottle.
