#2260 - Lex Fridman

Joe Rogan (0:03)

The Joe Rogan Experience.

Jamie (0:06)

Trained by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day.

SPEAKER_4 (0:13)

So, Jamie, what was your question?

Joe Rogan (0:17)

It was too Lex, but it was really like, because I wouldn't know.

SPEAKER_4 (0:21)

Hardcore science question. Yeah.

Joe Rogan (0:23)

Based on physics.

SPEAKER_4 (0:24)

Okay.

Joe Rogan (0:25)

In theory, if you were in space, and you may be ejaculated, is it possible that the ejaculate would propel you backwards? Like send you, you know, like is it propulsion? Is there enough power in there to propel you?

SPEAKER_5 (0:39)

There's only one way to find out.

SPEAKER_4 (0:40)

It depends on how long you hold it in for, right? Like if you didn't jerk off for like four months, and then you had like the mother load.

Joe Rogan (0:49)

You need something to go one way, so you go the other way. Yeah. And Lex had an answer, but I don't know.

SPEAKER_4 (0:54)

What's the answer?

Joe Rogan (0:55)

Well, he had a thought, I guess.

SPEAKER_4 (0:57)

What if you blow out at the same time?

SPEAKER_5 (1:00)

Yeah, yeah. Yeah. I think in space, the biodynamics of the liquids is different. I think it's actually difficult to have sex in space and to get people pregnant in space.

SPEAKER_4 (1:14)

Has anybody ever gotten pregnant on the space station? Are they allowed even to have sex?

SPEAKER_5 (1:18)

Nobody has officially had sex in space.

SPEAKER_4 (1:21)

Officially?

SPEAKER_5 (1:22)

Officially, but unofficially, of course, people have tried.

SPEAKER_4 (1:24)

I wonder if they have. I mean, how monitored are they?

SPEAKER_5 (1:27)

There is a Wikipedia page about sex in space, and it's actually pretty detailed.

SPEAKER_4 (1:32)

But it's Wikipedia, so you know it's half bullshit.

SPEAKER_6 (1:35)

There's citations.

SPEAKER_5 (1:37)

I encourage people to look into it, read in detail. I mean, it's a serious problem. If you want to colonize space, you probably want to have a lot of sex and get pregnant and have kids.

SPEAKER_4 (1:49)

Well, don't you think they'll develop some sort of gravity-generating machines?

SPEAKER_5 (1:53)

Yeah, absolutely. You have to. Like Jeff Bezos talks about this a lot. You know, like how you create artificial gravity in space. Because for Jeff Bezos, the likely way to colonize space is to have space stations. Elon is more focused on colonizing planets, Mars.

Joe Rogan (2:09)

Yeah.

SPEAKER_5 (2:10)

So both are obviously going to be necessary. You need to have gravity in order to get laid.

SPEAKER_4 (2:17)

Bro, the first people that make that trip.

SPEAKER_5 (2:20)

Yeah, Jamie was saying he wants to go.

Joe Rogan (2:24)

I don't know about all that. I mean, I'm not that trip. But yeah, a trip.

SPEAKER_4 (2:27)

You go eventually?

Joe Rogan (2:29)

No, why not?

SPEAKER_4 (2:30)

Oh, dude, why? What if you die out there?

Joe Rogan (2:32)

Okay, we're going to die. Everybody dies.

SPEAKER_4 (2:34)

Yeah, we don't want to die that way, dude.

Joe Rogan (2:36)

If you get to decide one way to die, that's not one of the worst ways.

SPEAKER_4 (2:39)

Oh, it's the worst way. You're going to die in space, running out of air.

Joe Rogan (2:42)

You don't know how it's going to happen. It could be on reentry.

SPEAKER_4 (2:45)

Yeah, you could just cook instantly.

Joe Rogan (2:48)

It could be on the way up.

SPEAKER_4 (2:49)

You get hit by a micro-meteorite.

Joe Rogan (2:52)

It could be while you're asleep up there.

SPEAKER_4 (2:53)

Could be.

SPEAKER_5 (2:54)

Imagine standing on Mars, looking back at Earth.

SPEAKER_4 (2:57)

Going, what the fuck did I do? Why did I do this?

SPEAKER_5 (3:02)

Yeah, and then having kids on Mars and teaching them, we came from there.

SPEAKER_4 (3:07)

You think homeschooling is bad? How about space schooling?

SPEAKER_5 (3:11)

Just imagine the crazy shit that happens on Mars. I mean, it's going to be, what, 100,000 people?

SPEAKER_4 (3:15)

Yeah, and so you're going to get one psycho who's going to run everything, and they're going to take over.

SPEAKER_6 (3:21)

Yeah.

SPEAKER_4 (3:21)

Probably some cult leader convinces everybody to do it his way.

SPEAKER_5 (3:25)

It's going to be a sex cult, 100%.

SPEAKER_6 (3:26)

100%.

SPEAKER_5 (3:27)

And we're back to sex and space.

SPEAKER_4 (3:29)

Right, they're going to say, like, listen, if Elon is their man, Elon wants to procreate every chance he can, how many kids does he have now? Allegedly.

SPEAKER_5 (3:38)

Double digits.

SPEAKER_4 (3:39)

We don't even know how many. Because they think he's got secret kids.

SPEAKER_5 (3:43)

They think?

SPEAKER_6 (3:44)

Who's they?

SPEAKER_4 (3:45)

They! The fucking people that run the world.
