#889 - Brian Redban

Joe Rogan (0:05)

Well, you're looking at me so sly, Jamie, you made me nervous.

You made me nervous. I was like, what is he doing?

Jamie (0:11)

Is he playing?

Joe Rogan (0:12)

Are we already live?

Brian Redban (0:14)

We're fucking live.

Joe Rogan (0:16)

So, I tweeted something today that somebody tweeted me, or I read that somebody tweeted it, so I quoted it, but it wasn't right.

Jamie (0:24)

God damn it.

Joe Rogan (0:25)

It's pretty close. That Donald Trump will be 70 years old in six days, is that what it is?

Jamie (0:34)

Seven months and six days.

Joe Rogan (0:36)

Seven months.

70 years old, seven months and six days. Almost 70 years old, seven months and seven days when he becomes president, and he won by 77 electoral votes from seven electors.

Brian Redban (0:52)

Wow. Happy seventh anniversary of the JRE, too.

Joe Rogan (0:57)

This is basically it. Pretty close. Tomorrow. How crazy is that?

Brian Redban (1:03)

That is crazy.

Joe Rogan (1:04)

That's a lot of sevens.

Brian Redban (1:05)

A lot of sevens.

Joe Rogan (1:06)

Why are you obsessed with sevens? Why is your shirt?

Brian Redban (1:08)

It came from the JRE. One time we were talking about how we were in a simulation theory, and how everything's made out of ones and zeros.

And I said something like, I'm gonna hack it. I'm gonna start saying sevens or something. I can't even remember what it was, but it's all from that.

Joe Rogan (1:23)

So this is your shirt that has all sevens in it?

Brian Redban (1:25)

Yeah, it's all made from sevens.

Joe Rogan (1:28)

This is just a bunch of different color sevens to make the artwork.

Brian Redban (1:31)

And this sweatshirt's the Deathsquad 7-Eleven shirt.

Joe Rogan (1:35)

Why sevens, though?

Brian Redban (1:37)

I don't know. It came from the JRE from a long time ago.

Joe Rogan (1:39)

I don't know why.

Brian Redban (1:39)

I don't know where. I have no idea why.

Joe Rogan (1:41)

Imagine. Imagine if that's proof. If people look back on this, and they realize there really is a simulation.

You tap into it, you can make things happen with your own brain.

Brian Redban (1:54)

I think the older I get, the more crazy I get, because I believe it more. You know, like I start feeling like I go crazy sometimes.

Joe Rogan (2:00)

I don't necessarily think it's crazy. I think it's crazy to think that it's impossible that it's a simulation. It's like, just think about what we're doing, right? Just think about the, just if no one was in this room but us, just obviously we're doing a podcast, but if no one was in this room other than us, we're looking at each other through our eyeballs, we're thinking about it inside of our brains, we're assuming that we're all operating in the same area. I'm assuming you see what I see. I'm assuming, like, what I think of as the reality around you is what you, but I have zero evidence other than photos. And again, I'm looking at those photos, and my interpretation of those photos, who knows what you're seeing? I have no idea what you're seeing.

Then we're dealing with language, trying to formulate words that match your thoughts, and they almost never do. Like, that's one of the number one problems that people have with politicians, right? We know in some weird way that their words and their thoughts are not in sync. Like, we want your words and your thoughts to be in sync, but it's fucking hard to do, man. It's like one of the unspoken things about being a person is how fucking difficult it is to get your thoughts to come out the way you're feeling them with your words.

It's very hard to do. You can make something that's so eloquent and with the articulate, and it would be amazing to read, and it's a quote that people might have on their fucking Instagram page for the next decade, but did it really represent what you were thinking?

Or was it just a clever collection of words that strikes an effect? So when people are just talking, not reading someone's writing or something, but just talking, man, it's fucking hard to get your brain, like what's coming out of your brain, to be represented by your voice.

That alone is way weirder than the fact that this is all fake. That's way weirder than a simulation. Just communicating, just shit we totally take for granted. Then the fact that you can do it online. I mean, how many of these fucking dudes have these YouTube channels and gals have these YouTube channels where they have fucking millions of people paying attention to them? And it seems like for the most part, like Hollywood hasn't even figured it out yet. Like they've dabbled in it. They've given people shows like that. Adam Ruins Everything guy, right? He was a YouTube guy.
