#987 - Ben O'Brien

Joe Rogan (0:00)

Still out?

Okay. Two, one. Oh, and we're live, ladies and gentlemen, with the creator. Are you the creator of this? Of RyeBrain?

Ben O'Brien (0:12)

Of RyeBrain? Yeah, I was thinking Yeti.

Joe Rogan (0:16)

RyeBrain, though. Cheers, sir.

Ben O'Brien (0:18)

Thank you, sir.

Joe Rogan (0:18)

The Clink, the famous YETI jingler. Rambler Clink.

What a great invention. You guys were just getting hammered and throwing anything in there. Same way for folks who haven't been properly introduced. My friend Ben O'Brien is here, and he was in the podcast from Paradise when we were in Lanai. One of my all-time favorites.

Ben O'Brien (0:40)

The island or the podcast?

Joe Rogan (0:42)

The whole thing.

Ben O'Brien (0:42)

It was all awesome.

Joe Rogan (0:44)

But people are drinking those cat ladies now.

Ben O'Brien (0:46)

It's not to be advised. That's a terrible idea, dude.

Joe Rogan (0:50)

When I saw Dudley making that, I was like, what the fuck are you doing?

He poured tequila and Red Bull into a glass of red wine.

We were looking at him like, what is that?

Ben O'Brien (1:01)

And people...

Hashtags are wrong, man, when people are hashtagging. Of course, I do it sometimes just to poke fun at everybody, but I've had probably a dozen people like, man, I tried the cat lady last night.

Joe Rogan (1:12)

Yeah, people are just drinking it just to say they drank it.

Ben O'Brien (1:15)

Which is just, don't do it, people.

Joe Rogan (1:17)

Don't do it, but Rye Brain is actually pretty good.

Ben O'Brien (1:21)

I can get that. There were some meats, some treggers, some bows involved, and stuff just got put together.

Joe Rogan (1:27)

I've had these before. They actually taste good.

But there's no benefit that you get from Alpha Brain when you mix it with whiskey.

Ben O'Brien (1:35)

It's like all the science we put into Alpha Brain, all the non-science from whiskey.

Joe Rogan (1:40)

Out the window, folks.

Ben O'Brien (1:42)

Well, we've made zero leaps forward, but we're good where we are currently.

Joe Rogan (1:48)

I think maybe it might balance us out, though.

Ben O'Brien (1:50)

It might.

Joe Rogan (1:50)

It might. Maybe it keeps us from getting too stupid.

Ben O'Brien (1:53)

Which, that's an achievement.

Joe Rogan (1:57)

It's a big issue with whiskey. What is this whiskey we got here?

Ben O'Brien (1:59)

I don't know. Maybe just kind of threw it out there.

Joe Rogan (2:02)

A dude gave us at the comedy store. It's called Angel's Envy.

Ben O'Brien (2:05)

Oh, that sounds like a...

Joe Rogan (2:06)

I think angels are really envious of whiskey, though.

I mean, you're hanging out with God. You can fly. You're like, God, I wish I had some of that whiskey. Meanwhile, you buy it in a store. What, angels don't have money? Maybe that's how it balances out.

Ben O'Brien (2:18)

It's got wings on the back.

Maybe they're trying to co-mark it with a red bull. I don't know.

Joe Rogan (2:22)

Those are always the wings on the back of a stripper that cries a lot.

Ben O'Brien (2:26)

And Angel and Envy are both names of strippers.

Joe Rogan (2:30)

That's true, dude.

Ben O'Brien (2:31)

I've never seen that.

Joe Rogan (2:32)

That's a really good point. Yeah, the wings on the back is always a weird move, right?

Ben O'Brien (2:37)

But if you're drinking whiskey with Alphabren, you can do whatever you want. You can put whatever kind of whiskey you want in there.

Joe Rogan (2:45)

You're very open-minded.

Ben O'Brien (2:46)

Yeah, the Alphabren cancels it out. It could be the worst whiskey in the world, and the Alphabren makes it better.

Joe Rogan (2:53)

Have you taken this anywhere, this RyeBrain?

Ben O'Brien (2:56)

I have not. I'm really counting on your listeners and Dudley's fans to do that. I want it to be organic.

Joe Rogan (3:02)

It's getting spread.

Ben O'Brien (3:02)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (3:03)

It's getting spread. The next time you go to some exotic location, and they have a RyeBrain, like if you're in Nepal.

Ben O'Brien (3:09)

I'm going to Northwest Territories with your boys on your hat there, the Eastmans.

Joe Rogan (3:13)

Are you really? What are you doing up there?

Ben O'Brien (3:16)

Caribou and Dull Sheep.

Joe Rogan (3:18)

Yeah.

Ben O'Brien (3:19)

So we're doing a film about there, a YETI film, YETI Presents film about their family history.

Joe Rogan (3:24)

In the Northwest Territories, like technically what part of Alaska is that?

Ben O'Brien (3:28)

So that's, it's east of Alaska, right? East of British Columbia. It's up toward the Arctic Circle. So we'll fly into Norman Wells and go north from there up into the Mackenzie Mountains, which are about as far north as you can get before you hit the Arctic Circle.
