Joe Rogan (0:03)

The Joe Rogan Experience. Train by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day.

Michael Malice (0:15)

What are you doing?

Jamie (0:16)

What do you mean? Your face.

Michael Malice (0:19)

I have carprosy sarcoma.

Joe Rogan (0:21)

Oh, I didn't know.

Michael Malice (0:23)

No, I just wanted to have a fun look. It's my 10th time.

Joe Rogan (0:26)

And what is a Lichtenstein? Is that what you said?

Michael Malice (0:29)

Roy Lichtenstein.

Joe Rogan (0:31)

Who's that?

Michael Malice (0:32)

He's the...

Joe Rogan (0:32)

Do you know what it is?

Michael Malice (0:33)

Yeah. You know the pictures. Pull up, drowning girl. Jamie, pull it up. I get to say it. This guy.

Joe Rogan (0:39)

He's a comic book artist.

Michael Malice (0:40)

No, he's a pop artist. He drew comic books into paintings in the 60s. You've seen his stuff.

Joe Rogan (0:46)

Oh, I'm sure.

Michael Malice (0:47)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (0:47)

I have now. I've seen them in memes.

Michael Malice (0:50)

Exactly.

Joe Rogan (0:52)

Like a man backhanding a woman.

Michael Malice (0:54)

No. No? That's not the man?

Jamie (0:55)

No.

Joe Rogan (0:56)

No?

Michael Malice (0:57)

No.

Joe Rogan (0:57)

Well, he's stepping on her hand right there.

Michael Malice (1:00)

That's his hand.

Jamie (1:00)

It's a guy's hand.

Joe Rogan (1:01)

Oh, it's a guy's hand. It's a cop, I think. It's a feminine man. Oh, Jeff, I love you too, but okay. The dots. I get it.

Michael Malice (1:08)

This was a lot of what I wanted to do, which I couldn't do. I wanted to do an uncanny valley look and look like a mannequin with lifeless eyes and like Lex, right? But that was a lot of money.

Joe Rogan (1:21)

Like CGI from 10 years ago.

Michael Malice (1:25)

Yes. So I just went with this.

Joe Rogan (1:27)

Okay.

Michael Malice (1:28)

I was on Jordan's show last January 6th, and I had the QAnon shaman paint my face with his look, and I had a Russian fur hat, and I had the boots and everything, and Jordan Peterson had to sit and talk to me for three hours looking like a complete mental patient. You're going to forget in a couple of minutes when someone's looking like this, but for anyone tuning in, it's just like the clips go wide. It's a lot of fun.

Joe Rogan (1:59)

Oh, I know. I've done dozens of podcasts with Duncan, where we're dressed up like clowns and furries.

Michael Malice (2:06)

Why are they dressed like astronauts? I think the internet, it's going into Duncan. Isn't it, say, like the face of evil?

Jamie (2:16)

There's the one that's, yeah, the psychology of pure evil, Michael Malice.

Joe Rogan (2:20)

How is Jordan doing? Is he okay?

Michael Malice (2:22)

I think he's doing better. I just talked to Michaela a couple of days ago. I think he's out of the woods. I don't know how much I'm allowed to say, or what's my place to say.

Joe Rogan (2:32)

Can you say what happened to him?

Michael Malice (2:33)

I don't really know. I think you'd have to talk to her. This is really something I don't know what I'm supposed to.

Joe Rogan (2:40)

He just keeps going through the series of ongoing health crises.

Michael Malice (2:44)

Yeah, and it's very, what bothers me a lot is how much glee people seem to have with this. And I think, like I was just saying a second ago, I think the Internet's going in a dark place.

Joe Rogan (2:56)

People. People are going in a dark place. The Internet's leading them there, but it's people.

Michael Malice (3:01)

Well, I think it's like a snake eating its own tail, don't you think? And when AI starts validating your preconceptions, I'm very scared about the near future.

Joe Rogan (3:09)

I'm very scared too, because so many people are so easily led and so prone to whatever the ideology is at the moment, just full-scale adopting it.

Michael Malice (3:19)

I was on Gutfeld a couple of months ago and they were talking about how Sam Altman said Chad GPT is going to have erotica now. Everyone's like, well, what's erotica? They're making jokes. And I go, listen. I said, not that long ago, John Hinckley shot in 1981, he shot President Reagan because he thought Jodie Foster was going to fall in love with him, thereby turning her away from men forever, right? And I said, what happens when Chad GPT, you really hate Trump or you really hate Joe Rogan, or you really hate Fauci or Kamala Harris, and your AI friend is ginning you up being like, yeah, they're terrible. There's 350 million people. You're saying out of those, 350 aren't going to try to do something? Right.
