Joe Rogan (0:03)

The Joe Rogan Experience.

SPEAKER_3 (0:06)

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

SPEAKER_4 (0:13)

I took the glasses off. I was hoping you were going to keep them on.

Joe Rogan (0:15)

You want me to keep them on?

SPEAKER_4 (0:16)

You can pull them off. Some dudes can't pull off douchey glasses.

Joe Rogan (0:19)

You think he's douchey?

SPEAKER_4 (0:20)

A little bit if I didn't know you, but I know you. I'm not douchey at all, so you can wear cool glasses.

Joe Rogan (0:25)

Well, these are requests by you, so I can wear what I want.

SPEAKER_4 (0:28)

You've been wearing them a lot. I like them.

Joe Rogan (0:30)

Yeah, I do. It's like having an Instagram filter for the entire world.

Everything feels...

SPEAKER_4 (0:35)

Just a little rosy. I had a pair of rose-colored glasses before and I got it. I was like, oh, I get it. It is better this way.

Joe Rogan (0:40)

It is nicer. Yeah, it's like a full... Dude, I need to show you this.

SPEAKER_4 (0:44)

Okay. What is this?

Joe Rogan (0:45)

I have a little open of that. So you'll remember that I sent you a photo on iMessage a couple of months ago of a friend of mine who was in Antarctica, and he flew a comedy mothership lighter out to Antarctica. I have been reliably told that that lighter was used to smoke weed in Antarctica. Yeah, and it was dropped a number of times, so it's touched ancient permafrost.

SPEAKER_4 (1:11)

What kind of laws do they have in Antarctica?

Joe Rogan (1:14)

I don't know. Apparently, they're liberal. Do they have any laws? Fuck knows. I don't know if it's...

SPEAKER_4 (1:17)

There's nobody there. Have they established laws?

Joe Rogan (1:19)

They were 400 miles in. Whoa. So this was part of the final experiment, which was this attempt to try and disprove Flat Earth.

SPEAKER_4 (1:27)

Oh.

Joe Rogan (1:30)

He went as a part of that.

SPEAKER_4 (1:32)

Did he bring Flat Earthers? Is that the deal?

Joe Rogan (1:34)

So four Flat Earthers, four Glo-Bees, Glo-Birthers, get flown to Antarctica. It's $35,000 per person. Oh, my God. This guy called Will Duffy put the project together, flew everybody down there.

SPEAKER_4 (1:47)

Did he pay for each person?

Joe Rogan (1:50)

Wow. I think maybe a couple of people chose to go self-funded, but they were trying to get the open offer to all of the biggest Flat Earth influences, commentators, I don't know what to call them.

SPEAKER_4 (2:02)

How many went?

Joe Rogan (2:03)

Four of each. Four Roundies, four Flaties.

SPEAKER_4 (2:09)

Don't you want to see their search histories?

Joe Rogan (2:11)

Maybe the FBI do.

SPEAKER_4 (2:12)

I don't know. The flat people, I want to see.

Joe Rogan (2:15)

So, they do this, in the middle of our winter, their summer, they observed the sun above the horizon for 24 hours. So, there's no explanation apparently with most of the models of Flat Earth about how the sun could stay above the horizon for 24 hours. So they flew down, they had drones flying in the air, they had 24-hour 360 cameras, they had live stream of iPhones, all of this stuff. And then they had the people that were on the ground. And the guys that were there observed the sun.

SPEAKER_4 (2:45)

Did the Flat Earthers switch stances?

Joe Rogan (2:47)

So three...

SPEAKER_4 (2:48)

Three did, one didn't?

Joe Rogan (2:50)

This is just their drone footage.

SPEAKER_4 (2:51)

I was just showing you footage. Oh, this is drone footage?

Joe Rogan (2:53)

Yeah, so the final experiment.

SPEAKER_4 (2:55)

So those are apparently mountain tops.

Joe Rogan (2:59)

But they're submerged?

SPEAKER_4 (3:00)

It's just all ice.

Joe Rogan (3:02)

That is so fucking hardcore.

SPEAKER_4 (3:05)

Because you know, there's a bunch of things up there that look like pyramids. And what it really is, is just an unusual peak of an enormous mountain. Have you seen the Antarctic pyramids? Yeah, you got to go all in on that.

Joe Rogan (3:17)

Okay. We have hard launched this episode.

SPEAKER_4 (3:22)

People that believe wild shit about Antarctica. So you know about the direct energy weapon theory, right?

Joe Rogan (3:28)

Yes, I did see that on Sean Ryan's show.

SPEAKER_4 (3:30)

Yes, I did as well.

Joe Rogan (3:32)

That guy is fucking really interesting.

SPEAKER_4 (3:35)

Yeah, he sounds really interesting. But if I want to sit him next to Eric Weinstein, you know what I'm saying? Is anything this guy is saying make any sense? Because I've done that before with Eric, with one guy who is a fraudster. I sent him a video and I said, tell me if this is gobbledygook or if this is real physics.
