#2048 - Reggie Watts

Reggie Watts (0:08)

All day.

Joe Rogan (0:14)

I only drink a half one though. You drink the whole one?

Reggie Watts (0:16)

I drink the whole one, but I'm gonna try a half this time just to see. Because, you know, it's weird. I have friends that are like, they will not, they're just like, I don't know what it is.

Well, they can't take it, because well, some people do get nauseous on it, but I haven't, I've never had that experience. It's really weird. Like all throughout my life, like I've taken all kinds of things that people are like, I throw up, or like Robitussin or something, like drinking a whole thing of Robitussin. I throw up, I'm like, I don't know why, but I just, I don't have that reaction.

So I feel either lucky or I'm dumb. I don't know.

Joe Rogan (0:46)

Do you ever get seasick?

Reggie Watts (0:48)

No. Yeah.

Joe Rogan (0:50)

Do you throw up when you get sick? Do you ever throw up?

Reggie Watts (0:53)

I try to avoid it at all times, but I don't get sick that often. I get sick maybe once every four years or something.

Joe Rogan (0:58)

Do you ever drink too much and then you throw up? You just down the whole thing, didn't you?

Reggie Watts (1:03)

No, I did like three quarters. No, I did have a lot.

Joe Rogan (1:06)

I don't know why this is two portions.

That's silly. Because you can't even see through the glass. How do I know where the half is?

Reggie Watts (1:14)

I always have my flashlight. I'm just like, oh, let me check.

I just, yeah, I'm trying half. Because I gotta do that, because I'm just like so like, just do it, just fucking do it. And every time I do it, I'm like, oh, man, it feels really good, but I feel like I missed my opportunity to try half, so this is my opportunity.

Joe Rogan (1:32)

Kratom is a weird one.

Reggie Watts (1:34)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (1:34)

Because it's kind of an opiate, right?

Reggie Watts (1:36)

It uses, as far as I understand, it uses the opioid receptor, but it's not technically an opiate.

Joe Rogan (1:43)

There was a friend of mine was telling me that he takes kratom before he works out. I go, how many do you take?

Reggie Watts (1:50)

Really?

Joe Rogan (1:51)

He goes, I take 10 I go, really?

Reggie Watts (1:53)

10 what?

Joe Rogan (1:54)

10 pills.

Reggie Watts (1:55)

Oh, of just pure kratom.

Joe Rogan (1:56)

Yeah, and I don't know what the milligrams is. I go, 10? I was taking two.

So I try 10

And I go, dude, you're getting high as fuck. I was so high. On 10, I was like, oh my God, this is a drug. But it's a weird drug where it doesn't affect your motor skills.

Reggie Watts (2:14)

No, not really.

Joe Rogan (2:15)

I was high, but my coordination, I was like, nothing feels off.

Reggie Watts (2:20)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (2:21)

When you're drunk, it's like, I can do this, but everything's in slow motion.

But kratom was high in some weird way. But it was definitely intoxicated.

Reggie Watts (2:35)

It's an interesting one, especially, feel free, you've got kava and kratom, which does that, here's a mellowing anti-anxiety vibe, and then here's a euphoric energy thing in the center of it.

And so it gives you that, that's why people feel so groovy on it, because it's got those two. However, I do understand if people get sick on it, like they, I think some people just, it's too much for their brain, or they just need to do like a third of a bottle or something.

Joe Rogan (2:59)

We can't even keep them at the club, Duncan just chugs them.

Reggie Watts (3:02)

Really?

Joe Rogan (3:02)

Oh my God, he's an animal.

Reggie Watts (3:04)

The trustee?

Joe Rogan (3:05)

Oh, he doesn't play with those kratoms.

Reggie Watts (3:07)

I can only do, I reserve one, one four times a week, at night. I use it at night, because especially if I have a social engagement, if I have a lot of people to deal with, I take one of those, I'm just like, oh really? Oh, where did you grow up? You grew up in France, that's interesting.

That pen, what does it mean to you? I mean, I'm so hyper engaged, it's crazy.

Joe Rogan (3:30)

Isn't that interesting that there's actual things that can make you a better conversationalist?

There's things that you can take where you'll be better talking to people. You'll say different things than you would without those things.
