**Joe Rogan** (0:03)
The Joe Rogan Experience.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:06)
Trained by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day. You look good.

**Joe Rogan** (0:13)
I was trying to get a John Lilly picture. It's John Lilly, Awareness Day.

**SPEAKER_4** (0:18)
Is the Carhartt specific time period appropriate? No.

**Joe Rogan** (0:23)
It's supposed to be like a boiler suit. Oh. It didn't arrive.

**SPEAKER_4** (0:27)
What is a boiler suit?

**Joe Rogan** (0:29)
Like a coverall.

**SPEAKER_4** (0:30)
Oh, like something would wear in the boiler room?

**Joe Rogan** (0:33)
Yeah, but the best kind to get, I would have done a mashup. Now, see, here he's got kind of a pleather jumpsuit. He's got a lot of great looks.

**SPEAKER_4** (0:41)
That guy was out there.

**Joe Rogan** (0:42)
And the two diamond studs. Oh, let me take off my John C. Lilly glasses.
Oh, yeah. He invented the isolation goon tank. You go in there and go, and it's like you're in space, dude.

**SPEAKER_4** (0:56)
My friend actually went in his tank and did ketamine with him before he went in his tank.

**Joe Rogan** (1:02)
Who?

**SPEAKER_4** (1:02)
Todd McCormick.

**Joe Rogan** (1:04)
Hey, what happened?

**SPEAKER_4** (1:06)
John Lilly shot him up with an intramuscular shot of ketamine before he went into the tank. He's like, this is what I do. You want to do it? He's like, okay, sure.

**Joe Rogan** (1:16)
John Lilly's like, hey, do you want to watch my parents fucking to conceive me? I like to do that in this tank.

**SPEAKER_4** (1:21)
Let's go back in time.

**Joe Rogan** (1:23)
I like to go into the fucking, what do they call that Buddhist thing where you go and watch your parents fuck?

**SPEAKER_4** (1:27)
Is that a real thing?

**Joe Rogan** (1:28)
Yeah, you know, in this, I forget the afterlife, their whole mapping, the afterlife thing.

**SPEAKER_4** (1:34)
But can they do it like with meditation or something? Is that what you're saying?

**Joe Rogan** (1:37)
Yeah, but they say-

**SPEAKER_4** (1:38)
If you could choose to do that.

**Joe Rogan** (1:40)
What?

**SPEAKER_4** (1:40)
If you could go back in time and watch something, but only one thing, and that thing is your parents fucking. You could be back in 1976 or whenever it was you were born.

**Joe Rogan** (1:50)
So what do I get out of that?

**SPEAKER_4** (1:51)
Nothing.

**Joe Rogan** (1:52)
Just a research. Valuable research.

**SPEAKER_4** (1:54)
You only get one trip back in time. Everybody gets a trip back in time to see what it's like. But that's the only thing you get to see.

**Joe Rogan** (2:00)
It sounds like Tibetan Buddhism, what you're describing to me. Pretty sure that's what- What do they call it when you go to the place you go to watch your parents fuck? Jamie, aren't you a Buddhist? The Bodak? It's not called that.
How do you like that Nicki Minaj, huh? She's really-

**SPEAKER_4** (2:17)
What about her?

**Joe Rogan** (2:19)
We've been covering TPUSA all week.

**SPEAKER_4** (2:21)
Okay, you're deep in the woods. I'm not. I stay out of that. Why?

**Joe Rogan** (2:26)
It's so great.

**SPEAKER_4** (2:27)
Because it seems like the right wing of this country is in some sort of a weird gang war.

**Joe Rogan** (2:36)
There never was a fucking United right wing. It was a bunch of people needing some shit done. It didn't get done, and now they're upset about it. And so, the thought, so, because here's the important part.

**SPEAKER_4** (2:45)
Well, it's a bunch of people scrambling to be in control of the narrative, too.

**Joe Rogan** (2:49)
The polymarket dudes have some network. There's also, like the show I sold called The Cutout, they do these cutout things where it's like, you pay a company to put up, remember when Elon showed what countries all the tweets are coming from?

**SPEAKER_4** (3:03)
Right.

**Joe Rogan** (3:04)
Okay. Why the fuck are Indians and Sri Lankans tweeting about Israel-Palestine shit, right? Well, it's because there's these bounties they put up, and you can get invited to like a circle. Remember when you would show me those things people would get of like, hey, say this shit and we'll give this money? Well, now there's a bounty system. It's on Jimmy's channel. It's fucking amazing. So all these, so a bunch of people that I watched them just like flip and say a thing like it's their job to say it. It was their job, but they're trying to hit a certain amount of engagement. And then you get like 50 grand. I can't remember the name of the guy that pointed out, but it's really good fucking work.
I should have looked up.
