Joe Rogan (0:04)

The Joe Rogan Experience. Speaking of cold New York, how about these fucking Jewish folks?

Jim Norton (0:17)

What, the tunnel they were making under? Well, I'm reading about that, I don't even know what it means. Why would they hire people to dig a hole?

Joe Rogan (0:24)

I don't know exactly what's happening. All I know is very short clips that I've found on the internet. But the funniest thing is this one guy on Twitter that was saying a while back, I live on a ground floor apartment and I hear Jews underneath me. I never, it's like you're out of your fucking mind.

Jim Norton (0:45)

Yeah, that's anti-Semitic.

Joe Rogan (0:47)

Exactly, and now he's like, I told you I wasn't crazy. But this guy's just, you match.

Jim Norton (0:52)

But what are they doing?

I heard that they hired people to build this tunnel and they were hanging out and the people would live there for three weeks, these migrant workers were just digging this tunnel and they stayed there for three weeks. But what's the purpose of it?

Joe Rogan (1:03)

I have no idea. I have no idea. I don't know anything. I just know that there's tunnels and that this is one video of this guy coming out of the sewer.

So he lifts a manhole cover, comes out of the sewer, and then he's fucking wandering around, this Hasidic Jewish guy. And everybody's like, what the fuck are you doing down there?

Jim Norton (1:22)

Yeah, that's really bizarre. They wouldn't come out, too. The cops had to get them out. Like they were like, we don't want to come out and they were like charged with disorderly conduct. I don't know, the whole fucking world is just weird.

Joe Rogan (1:31)

What do you know about this, Jamie?

Jamie (1:32)

Anything? The best I've gotten is that they started making them during COVID, but that like, it makes sense, but it also, you see the tunnels, you're like, no way, that's not, they didn't do that in two years or a year or six months, whatever it was.

Jim Norton (1:47)

They weren't exactly nice tunnels either. They were just kind of shitty, rudimentary, basic holes. Like were they doomsdayers? Or they thought the world was gonna end?

Joe Rogan (1:56)

Wait a minute, the tunnels are so big that you don't think they could make them in two years? Is that what you're saying?

Jamie (2:00)

Some of them look big. Really? How do you, I mean, some of them are saying they go, they're going to multiple different buildings.

It's like a series of tunnels. It's not just a tunnel.

Joe Rogan (2:10)

Let's look into this.

Jamie (2:11)

They're still looking into it. I don't know, like, that there's been a map of it yet.

Joe Rogan (2:14)

Was it yesterday?

Jamie (2:15)

It's only been discovered a couple of years ago. I forget how.

Joe Rogan (2:17)

A couple of years ago?

Jamie (2:19)

Days ago. I forget even how they discovered it. I think they were looking.

Jim Norton (2:23)

It's probably that guy complaining. He's probably heard something, and then maybe they saw somebody come out of the manhole cover and somebody put two and two together.

Joe Rogan (2:29)

I have no idea what happened.

Jim Norton (2:30)

Yeah, it's strange.

Joe Rogan (2:31)

But it's very bizarre. And then, of course, there's conspiracy theories and what are they doing down there and evil theories.

Jamie (2:39)

They immediately wanna pour concrete in it, which makes sense, because it's probably not safe. It's not supporting the weight of the, you know, of all the buildings above it.

Jim Norton (2:47)

Yeah, you don't think of that when you move into an apartment building that some asshole might build a tunnel underneath and collapse the fucking, collapse the building on you.

Joe Rogan (2:53)

Imagine if you're on the ground floor, and you're like, why is my floor so much, yeah.

Jim Norton (2:59)

These assholes are building a sinkhole under my house.

Yeah, I don't, but it's funny how like, things are so crazy, like you read about something like that, and it doesn't even stand out that much. Like, we talk about it now, and then tomorrow will be some other weird shit. Like, every day, it's something weird, it's something crazy.

Joe Rogan (3:14)

Yeah, yeah, it's way more than ever before.

Jim Norton (3:17)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (3:17)

We got, we got, Jamie.

Jamie (3:19)

So here's what the New York News is saying.

It happened on Monday afternoon, I guess. So it's very new.

Joe Rogan (3:24)

Something about tunneling.

Jim Norton (3:25)

Yeah.
