#2073 - Derek, More Plates More Dates

Joe Rogan (0:04)

The Joe Rogan Experience. Good to see you again.

Derek (0:17)

Yeah, you ouswell.

Joe Rogan (0:18)

Do you do icoll plunge?

Derek (0:22)

Yeah, it's something that I I do occasionally, Occasionally, but I don't have one at my place, so it's not a regular part of my routine, but I would like it to be, and I guess I could do the cold shower thing, but it's from my understand... Do you live in an apartment? Yeah, from my understanding, it's not as, I don't know, effective overall to like, you wanna be fully immersed and kind of get the full experience.

Joe Rogan (0:45)

Yeah, I don't think it's as effective, but it's pretty effective. Especially, you live in the fucking frozen communist shithole of Canada.

Derek (0:54)

Yeah, yeah, it's cold.

Joe Rogan (0:56)

You get real cold water.

Derek (0:58)

When's the last time you've been up there?

Joe Rogan (0:59)

I don't go up there anymore.

Derek (1:01)

You refuse, right?

Joe Rogan (1:02)

Yeah, I just fucking, what they've done up there, what they did with the trucker rally and what Trudeau's doing with guns and what they're trying to clamp down on censorship on the internet, that guy can eat shit. Like, that place needs 100% an overall of government.

They're sliding down that dangerous road of communism that scares the shit out of me.

Derek (1:28)

Yeah, it's funny because even though I'm in Canada, it seems like the political, the prevalence of political information in media is so much lesser than what goes on in the States because it's just far more interesting. But even the alternatives that I'm aware of on the political side of things that are trying to get Trudeau out and replace him, not much better, from my understanding. It seems like everyone's... Every time I go on Twitter, I see Jordan Peterson shitting on some other guy who's like the next best option, apparently.

Joe Rogan (1:59)

Well, he likes that Pierre guy. What's that guy's name?

Derek (2:02)

I don't know.

Joe Rogan (2:03)

Pierre Polivier. What is his name? There's the guy who's the reasonable Republican-type character or conservative character. What is the...

Yeah, Pierre Polivier. That guy's very smart.

He's very interesting. There's a really funny video. I don't know if you ever saw it, but he's eating an apple, and he's talking to this reporter, and the reporter keeps asking him really stupid questions. Like, what do you mean by that? Like, what does that mean?

Like, he catches this reporter, like, says who? Who's saying this? And it's... Have you seen that video?

Derek (2:41)

I've never seen it.

SPEAKER_4 (2:45)

Currently, you're obviously taking the populist pathway.

Derek (2:49)

What does that mean?

SPEAKER_4 (2:51)

Well, appealing to people's more emotional levels, I would guess. I mean, certainly you tap very strong ideological language quite frequently. Like what?

Left wing, you know, this and that, right wing.

Derek (3:09)

They're just buzzwords.

SPEAKER_4 (3:10)

I never really talk about left or right.

SPEAKER_2 (3:13)

I don't really believe in that.

Joe Rogan (3:18)

It's a longer conversation, but it's very interesting because it just shows you the level of sophistication of these fucking dopey reporters that are covering this kind of shit. Now, they are just trying to always play gotcha stuff.

Derek (3:32)

The title was, Does It Hurt Him? I wonder what the consensus is of the average Canadian, if they think it's, well, this guy's legit, or if they're like, this guy doesn't care about us at all.

Joe Rogan (3:43)

It's a good question. I mean, I think propaganda affects everyone, and I think Canadian propaganda is a little more tightened down in control. What they did with the truckers, like, for example, like the way Trudeau just openly labeled them as racist and misogynist. And then when people were donating to this trucker movement, when they were trying to have this protest, they closed down people's bank accounts who donated.

I mean, that is third world country shit. The fact that they think they can do that in Canada is insane.

Derek (4:19)

Have you seen the ban of news in Canada to where if you're located in Canada, you can't access news outlets now because the news outlets or the social media platforms featuring the news outlets refuse to pay Canada their own fee, essentially.

So if I'm in Canada and I go on Instagram and try to go to a news page that's outside of Canadian media, it'll literally say, can't view unavailable in Canada. Yeah, it's crazy.

Joe Rogan (4:50)

That's nuts. That's like China. I mean, it's literally like what they do in foreign countries that are run by dictators.
