#2157 - Duncan Trussell

Joe Rogan (0:06)

Train by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day. Exactly.

Joe Rogan (0:17)

We want to integrate.

Duncan Trussell (0:18)

Integrate, assimilate.

Joe Rogan (0:20)

I'm not interested in being unique. I just want to survive.

Duncan Trussell (0:22)

Are you going to fight evolution? Are you really going to fight the blending mechanism of planet Earth?

Joe Rogan (0:27)

Oh, dude, the inevitable pull of the universe towards an artificial creation, an intelligent artificial creation that's superior to us. I'm in.

Duncan Trussell (0:35)

Exactly. It's like resisting AI is like going to Vegas and not gambling or going to strip clubs. You know, it's like just fucking do it.

Joe Rogan (0:44)

I think we are super lucky to be the last people. We're super lucky. We got to see what life was like with leaded gasoline and no cell phones.

And everyone's phone was connected to a cord on the wall. We got to go through answering machines. I mean, what a rock. If the simulation theory is real, you and I have been in a crazy timeline.

Duncan Trussell (1:07)

Yeah, the game we picked is real fucking weird.

Joe Rogan (1:11)

Right, if you get in the timeline of like 1950 to 1980, shit doesn't change that much. No.

SPEAKER_4 (1:19)

Not that much.

Duncan Trussell (1:21)

No.

Joe Rogan (1:22)

Nothing crazy.

Duncan Trussell (1:23)

No, no.

Joe Rogan (1:24)

Just a little bit of progress, but nothing, it's like, relatively speaking, like back then, we thought it was a lot.

Duncan Trussell (1:32)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (1:32)

We used to look at the 50s, like look at those fucking dorks.

Duncan Trussell (1:35)

Yeah, dude, I mean, what I like is that the way it works, or it seems like it works, is the planet gives you some impression, you know, things are going to stay this way. Like Les Rodriguez, there was people hanging out, and they're like, it's always going to be like this. And then suddenly, something flies through their atmosphere, and it's all gone, like that, in a second, just gone.

So that's one of the fascinating things, is no matter what period you live in, the sun can just burp an extra bit of plasma.

Joe Rogan (2:11)

And that's a wrap, yeah, that's a wrap for the whole planet. That happens all over the universe. There's always something going on, like there's supernovas and volcanoes, and that was the big part of the theory of the Anunnaki, was that volcanoes had ruined their atmosphere.

And so they needed to suspend gold particles in the atmosphere to preserve their planet. Their ecosystem was getting fucked up. That is my favorite of all the wacky conspiracy theories, of all the wacky evolution of man tied to the reason why gold is valuable to people that basically have swords.

A sword doesn't mean an iron. That's really valuable. You can kill somebody with it.

Joe Rogan (3:01)

You can't do shit with gold.

Joe Rogan (3:04)

But it's worth more than anything.

Duncan Trussell (3:05)

Yeah, no, that is a real suspicious thing.

But do you ever like, you know, sometimes I like look at my wedding ring, the gold, and I'm like, oh, it's beautiful. That gold, there is something in it. It's like really nice.

Joe Rogan (3:20)

You know, I don't have anything that's gold. Not one thing.

Duncan Trussell (3:23)

Why?

Joe Rogan (3:24)

I don't like it.

Duncan Trussell (3:25)

What?

Joe Rogan (3:26)

I don't like it.

Duncan Trussell (3:26)

You don't like gold?

Joe Rogan (3:27)

No, never liked it.

Duncan Trussell (3:29)

Holy shit.

Joe Rogan (3:29)

I don't like the way it looks. I don't like what it stands for. I don't like gold.

Duncan Trussell (3:34)

You don't like what it stands for?

Joe Rogan (3:36)

So like it's the weirdest version of this is money.

To me, this yellow metal that's more impressive than other metals, like what are you talking about? Like I'm not playing into that. It's too stupid. It's too stupid for me. I don't like it.

Duncan Trussell (3:49)

Oh my God, man. I watch the fucking mining shows.

Joe Rogan (3:52)

Like I watch the mining shows too. They're cool. It's cool watching people find it.

Duncan Trussell (3:59)

Yes.

Joe Rogan (4:00)

I just don't want any of it. You know what I'm saying?

Duncan Trussell (4:02)

Dude, I get gold fever. I watch those.

I do. When I was in North Carolina, I was watching one of those shows and I was like on Amazon looking at panning equipment.

Joe Rogan (4:12)

I'm like, maybe I'll go into a creek.

Pan for gold. Oh my God.
