Cody Tucker (0:01)

Joe Rogan Podcast, checking in.

Joe Rogan (0:03)

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

Cody Tucker (0:13)

Hey, man.

Joe Rogan (0:14)

Good to see you, brother.

Cody Tucker (0:15)

I know. You wrote a book.

Joe Rogan (0:16)

Look at you, you're a fucking author.

Cody Tucker (0:17)

A second one.

SPEAKER_3 (0:18)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (0:19)

Oh, is this your second book?

SPEAKER_3 (0:20)

Yeah, I remember last time I was here.

Cody Tucker (0:21)

Oh, that's right.

Joe Rogan (0:23)

That's right. Where did that come from?

I still, I mean, I marvel at your Instagram page. Your Instagram page is excellent. It's one of the best ones I follow, for sure. But I just marvel at the fact that you're constantly able to create content, like these non sequitur, very bizarre facts and strange coincidences. Like, how the fuck are you doing this?

Cody Tucker (0:47)

Dude, I read so much. And I'm a pretty quick reader. Like, I've always been very fast, like a good skimmer.

And yeah, I just like all day every day. That's all I do.

Joe Rogan (0:57)

So you read and then you go, oh, that one's crazy. And you just write it down?

Cody Tucker (1:03)

Yeah. So like, whatever I'm reading, like say I'm reading a book on Ben Franklin, anything that comes up, I'm like, oh, that's pretty interesting. I don't think a lot of people know about that highlight. And then I go through piece all together, check and make sure it's all real.

And yeah, and then dive into other things off of that, like kind of spider web out and go down rabbit holes. I'm in a perpetual rabbit hole.

Joe Rogan (1:28)

Constantly.

Cody Tucker (1:29)

All day, every day, rabbit holes.

Joe Rogan (1:31)

What is that like?

Cody Tucker (1:33)

It can get weird.

I mean, there's some times where I'm like, oh, I hope the FBI is enjoying what they're seeing. Good Lord. Like, I didn't want to be here today, but yeah, it can get a little odd.

Joe Rogan (1:46)

Yeah, because you're constantly like researching crimes.

Cody Tucker (1:50)

Oh, yeah.

Joe Rogan (1:51)

Yeah.

Cody Tucker (1:51)

Murders, weird things that have been done to people over time.

Joe Rogan (1:56)

You know the Debbie Harry story.

Cody Tucker (1:58)

Well, that she thinks may have happened. I don't know if I buy it.

Joe Rogan (2:02)

Really? Tell people what it is.

Cody Tucker (2:03)

Okay.

Joe Rogan (2:04)

So Ted Bundy one.

Cody Tucker (2:05)

So, yeah, so Debbie Harry believes that sometime in the early 70s or late 60s, that she was picked up by a man driving a Volkswagen Beetle and that that car didn't have indoor handles and she escaped and she believes that it was Ted Bundy. But if you look it up like on a timeline of events, he was not anywhere around there at that time. So it could just be another guy doing creepy things. Yeah.

When there's one, there's many.

Joe Rogan (2:34)

Yeah, I'm sure that's not the first time a guy's figured out a way to close off the handles in the inside of his car.

Cody Tucker (2:40)

Oh, it won't be the last.

Joe Rogan (2:41)

Trap people.

Cody Tucker (2:42)

Yeah, I'm working on it right now.

Joe Rogan (2:44)

I watched a video today where this young man in India robbed a guy with scopolamine.

Cody Tucker (2:52)

What the hell is that?

Joe Rogan (2:53)

Okay. I'm so glad I get to tell you something that you don't know.

Cody Tucker (2:56)

Oh, yeah. If it's science related or anything like that, I'm probably not going to know anything.

Joe Rogan (3:01)

It's crime related as well. Scopolamine is a drug that is, I guess it's in the class of deliriant.

If inhaled, you literally become a prisoner to whoever gave you the drug. You become like a zombie.

Cody Tucker (3:19)

Really?

Joe Rogan (3:20)

Yeah. It is like a zombie drug. Not only is it real, but it's also the active ingredient in anti-seasickness medication.

So, when you take Dramamine...

Cody Tucker (3:31)

I'm the captain now.

Joe Rogan (3:32)

Dramamine? Ha!

Cody Tucker (3:33)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (3:35)

Look at me.

Cody Tucker (3:37)

That's what he was doing. He blew it right in Hanks' face.

Joe Rogan (3:39)

Scopolamine is one of the ingredients in Dramamine.

Cody Tucker (3:43)

Oh.

Joe Rogan (3:45)

So, I don't know. I guess it's a very small dose, but in a larger dose. So, this guy, this young guy, came up behind this guy in India, and he put it on his neck, and the guy touches his neck, and then all of a sudden, he just keeps touching his neck, and the guy just takes his bag off of him, takes his wallet out of his pocket, takes his phone out of his other pocket, and walks off, and the guy's just standing there, just helpless, lost and helpless.
