The Joe Rogan Experience.

**Pat Sajak** (0:06)
Trained by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day.

**Joe Rogan** (0:13)
I was like, there's only one way to do this. I've just not drank for a while. So I took like eight months off, and then I had like a margarita dinner once. I was like, oh, I missed this.
And then I had a glass of wine here and there.

**Eric Weinstein** (0:24)
I was wondering how that was going to hold up. Yeah, but I know that you're not captured by it.

**Joe Rogan** (0:30)
No, no, no.

**Eric Weinstein** (0:30)
Neither am I, but our religious observance requires it.

**Joe Rogan** (0:33)
You require abstinence or drinking?

**Eric Weinstein** (0:36)
No, we drink.

**Joe Rogan** (0:37)
When do you have to drink?

**Eric Weinstein** (0:38)
Shabbat, any Friday.

**Joe Rogan** (0:41)
How much do you drink when Shabbat?

**Eric Weinstein** (0:43)
I probably have two and a half glasses of wine.

**Joe Rogan** (0:45)
Is there like a number that you're supposed to hit? No, there's a communal cup at the beach.

**Eric Weinstein** (0:49)
Well, that's Purim. We should get into Purim.

**Joe Rogan** (0:52)
We're getting into it. Do we need glasses? Do you want to have a drink?

**Eric Weinstein** (0:56)
Usually, I tend to go a while, so we usually do that at the end.

**Joe Rogan** (1:00)
Well, let's get some ice and some glass. Are we rolling already? Okay.
Tell Jeff to get us some ice and some glasses. I didn't know we were in a bottle of Buffalo Trace.

**Jamie** (1:11)
Do you want to wait until I get back to start? We either have it started or we started.

**Joe Rogan** (1:15)
We started. Fuck it. We started. Let's just roll. We'll get Jeff to do it. What's that?
Are we rolling still?

**Eric Weinstein** (1:24)
Are we doing headphone shit?

**Joe Rogan** (1:25)
We can. Headphones, no headphones. I don't give a fuck.
We mix it up. Okay. Are you more comfortable? You got a nice head of hair.

**Eric Weinstein** (1:32)
What?

**Joe Rogan** (1:33)
For me, it doesn't matter. I feel bad when people work on their hair real good, like especially ladies, and they get it all nice, and then they have to fucking smush it with this thing.

**Eric Weinstein** (1:40)
Okay. If you ever have that kind of consideration for me, I'm going to be very disappointed. I thought we were closer.

**Joe Rogan** (1:46)
Some people worry about that.

**Eric Weinstein** (1:48)
I worry about the gray.

**Joe Rogan** (1:50)
That you have gray in your hair?

**Eric Weinstein** (1:51)
It's, yeah.

**Joe Rogan** (1:52)
Well, you're like pretty dark for your age. How old do you know?

**Eric Weinstein** (1:56)
60

**Joe Rogan** (1:57)
Yeah, you have fucking dark ass hair for your age. If I had hair and it grew out, like my side hair, it's mostly gray now.

**Eric Weinstein** (2:05)
Yeah?

**Joe Rogan** (2:05)
Yeah. I should have thought ahead like you did. What, shaved it?

**Eric Weinstein** (2:12)
Yeah, shaved it when everyone knew it wasn't gray, and then it's just normal. Because it's very clear if I shave it now.

**Joe Rogan** (2:17)
I think you can avoid gray hair with proper supplementation. At least that is the thought today, that with enough zinc and copper, and that somehow or another that's involved in the diet.
I don't know. I'm talking out of my ass here. I don't know that much about what causes your hair to go gray.

**Eric Weinstein** (2:38)
This is Austin Tep?

**Joe Rogan** (2:40)
This is Buffalo Trace, older than America.

**Eric Weinstein** (2:43)
Really?

**Joe Rogan** (2:43)
Yeah. This is a distillery from 1773, I believe, they started.
How about them apples?

**Eric Weinstein** (2:52)
It's like that Chinese sounding beer, Yunling or something. Cheers, my friend.

**Joe Rogan** (2:56)
Buffalo Trace is like Yun... Why, is their beard really old? Beer really old?
Do they have an old beer?

**Eric Weinstein** (3:06)
Yunling?

**Joe Rogan** (3:08)
Is it old as fuck?

**Eric Weinstein** (3:09)
Jamie knows everything. He knows a lot.

**Joe Rogan** (3:11)
You know, people...

**Eric Weinstein** (3:12)
1829 You see?
People say, I have this AI, I'm using Claude, I'm using Chet GPT.

**Joe Rogan** (3:20)
I use Jamie.

**Eric Weinstein** (3:20)
Jamie, right, for sure.

**Joe Rogan** (3:22)
Oh, he's way better than AI. He's way better than AI because he's kind of psychic. You're a little psychic, right? A little bit.

**Jamie** (3:28)
Well, I mean, I've listened to you talk a lot.

**Eric Weinstein** (3:30)
My theory is that he also looks ahead. He knows sort of where you're likely to head, so he's got it ready.
