#859 - Brian Redban

Joe Rogan (0:05)

And we're live. Are you writing notes?

SPEAKER_2 (0:09)

Yes.

Joe Rogan (0:10)

What are you writing notes about?

Brian Redban (0:11)

Just things that would be cool if we talk about.

Joe Rogan (0:14)

What are you, organized?

Brian Redban (0:17)

Yeah, I always do that. I just know you don't like me looking at my computer, so trying to go analog.

Joe Rogan (0:23)

Yeah, I think both of us would be better off in these things if we just, it's so easy to just start reading computers, especially when you're reading shit that's on the internet, just to get, when one person's talking, just start thinking about the next thing you're gonna read about instead of just talking. There's just too much, it's too much coming at us.

Brian Redban (0:42)

It's like, I like to obsessively fact check, though, and make sure I'm saying the right thing so you don't get trumped later or whatever.

Joe Rogan (0:51)

Yeah, you have to with this stuff. But don't you think it's harder to form an opinion now than it's ever been before?

Brian Redban (0:58)

Oh yeah, it's insane.

I mean, just looking back at old videos, I'm like, oh, that's a different day. You know, I should probably delete this now.

Joe Rogan (1:08)

If you would, you know, like, the amount of data that you take in today, as opposed to just 20 years ago.

Like when I see something, anything that's happened, and I read a story about something, I gotta throw it through like 10 filters.

I gotta like, is this real? Is this bullshit? Like who's making this? What is this? And then you have to trust, you know, like every time someone sends you some, what article is it on? That's what I always do with Eddie Bravo. Eddie Bravo hit me up with some crazy shit. I go, okay, what, before you get too excited, what website was this? World Truth Organization West, you know, like there's some nutty fucking articles that are written that aren't real. It's hard to figure out what the fuck is really going on with some things.

Brian Redban (1:53)

Yeah, and they're so tricky now too. Like, it would be like NBC news.com dot com, you know, there's like two dot coms.

Joe Rogan (2:03)

Fucking weird ones, man. Like I saw one the other day that I think was a scam.

It was for some some fucking brain pill, and it led you to some NBC looking website. I was like, what is this? Yeah, I followed this rabbit hole of, okay, what happens when you click that? Okay, what's going on over here?

Brian Redban (2:24)

Yeah, it's like a fake CNN where it just like it has like a like an article about this brain pill and you're reading it as if CNN wrote this article.

There's a lot of those brain pill things to in the soil, you know, the soylent. It's like that.

Joe Rogan (2:39)

Yeah, it's like a full meal.

Brian Redban (2:42)

Yeah, and they released these bars the other day or recently. And all these people are going to the hospital and like they send it to the lab trying to figure out what it is.

Joe Rogan (2:51)

Is this a fact check thing?

Brian Redban (2:52)

Yeah, no, this is true. And so they just recalled all these protein bars, like the whole thing. And it's like this one guy couldn't stop throwing up and he had to go to the ER just from these pills or these food bars.

Joe Rogan (3:08)

Oh my God, what's in these fucking things?

Brian Redban (3:10)

I don't know. But the old soylent is people thing, you think they would change their name.

Joe Rogan (3:15)

That's a fucking giant horror line in a science fiction movie.

Brian Redban (3:20)

I know.

Joe Rogan (3:21)

Soylent green is people.

Brian Redban (3:23)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (3:24)

That's what they said, right?

SPEAKER_2 (3:25)

Wasn't that what the line was in the movie?

Brian Redban (3:27)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (3:28)

Speaking of movies, but not really. This is not happening. Ari Shaffir's show premieres tonight, midnight, ladies and gentlemen.

And I know he's got a lot of funny fucking people on this season. It's a great show if you haven't seen it before. It's really one of the best shows on television because it's really funny people like Joey Diaz and I mean, he's had Stan Hope on, I know Rollins is on this season, Henry Rollins. Notice I said Rollins.

It's like when people used to pretend they knew Eddie Murphy, they just call him Eddie.

SPEAKER_2 (3:59)

You know, me and Eddie, we're tight. We're just tight, me and Eddie, you know, just fucking hang out together.
