Joe Rogan (0:12)

I never got it until this year, but that's what they say.

Joe Rogan (0:15)

That's what they say. You get it within a couple years, you get it, and then all of a sudden, you got it.

Joe Rogan (0:21)

Yeah, I don't know what the fuck they are, but it's not bad.

Joe Rogan (0:23)

I could hear it the other day. I heard it.

Joe Rogan (0:25)

Stuffiness? Yeah, I heard you. Yeah, I had it for like four days, I've had stuffiness. But the thing is like when I work out, I feel great. The way I can really tell, like the way I judge whether or not I should even work out is when I get in the sauna in the cold plunge. If I feel tired and weak when I'm in there, then I know something's going on. It's not as simple as allergies.

Joe Rogan (0:43)

So I thought for 10 years I had the Austin allergy. For 10 years, it was so bad. I go out to dinner, even when we moved out to Fredericksburg, we come in to Austin, I thought it was Austin. I'm serious, I'm like, Austin has given me this. We go out to dinner, start eating, and then my nose, my eyes, everything just, and I have to always excuse myself, always have to have tissues in my back pocket. Then I got my teeth done, which we talked about, I think, the last time I was here. And Maverick, my periodontist, he did one of these 360 MRIs. He says, you know, man, you've got some low level infection here. And that could be responsible for a whole bunch of stuff. Now, I'd had hearing aids for five years. So when he did the initial extraction, I think I took one or two shows off. And then I went back in the studio, put my headphones on. I'm like, whoa, I thought I hit something, you know, a volume knob or something. Came back because your hearing came back. Because this was infected and it was basically clogging up my sinuses and that was affecting the hearing.

Joe Rogan (1:48)

How can a mouth infection like that's very dangerous, isn't it?

Joe Rogan (1:52)

People have no idea how important oral health is. It's really, really critical. And also I feel better because, you know, I'm not fighting infection continuously. That's great.

Joe Rogan (2:03)

How did it all start? Like, what was going on with your teeth that like made all these infections?

Joe Rogan (2:09)

I had a bad start in life. When I was two or three, we were living in Uganda, and my parents would put me to sleep with a chocolate cookie. So I had kind of a bad start, you know, and I had a lot of work. I had, you know, just tons of fillings of my baby teeth. Everything was messed up. Then I had the big outboard headgear, which really traumatized me for life taking that to school. You know, it was like I was one of those guys.

Adam Curry (2:35)

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

Joe Rogan (2:37)

It was bad. And about ten years ago, maybe a little bit more, I went to the dentist here in Austin. And he was like, you know, we really got to start doing stuff. We got to start looking at repairing. And then this dentist started hitting on me and texting me. And, you know, I'm like, so...

Joe Rogan (2:56)

Guy or girl?

Jamie (2:57)

Guy. Damn.

Joe Rogan (2:59)

Like, no, no, no, no, no. And I knew that there was a Pandora's box in there.

Joe Rogan (3:02)

How wild is that? Like, what a risky move.

Joe Rogan (3:05)

It was so dumb.

Joe Rogan (3:06)

Like, you're a married straight guy. He's like, yeah, I think I can get him, though.

Joe Rogan (3:11)

We can get... He can be on our team.

Joe Rogan (3:14)

That is such a man move. That's such a thing that men would do. It's so stupid.

Joe Rogan (3:20)

I'm here with some buddies of mine, you know, sending a picture.

Jamie (3:22)

I'm like, no, no, no, no.

Joe Rogan (3:24)

So I'm like...

Joe Rogan (3:24)

They're all shirtless.

Jamie (3:25)

And you can wear cowboy hats.

Joe Rogan (3:27)

Yeehaw! I'm not going back. I'm good. And then Tina and I, you know, we got together. We moved out to Fredericksburg. And she's real big on, you know, preventative anything. You know, her car has the oil, everything on time. Everything's all set. And her teeth, of course, are impeccable.
