JRE MMA Show #56 with Brendan Schaub

Brendan Schaub (0:01)

Record my phone calls. I got nothing to hide.

Joe Rogan (0:08)

Yee-haw, and we're live, ladies and gentlemen. So I get a message.

Brendan Schaub (0:11)

Oh, shit, just like that?

Joe Rogan (0:12)

Just like that, bitches. I get a message from a friend of mine who says that while he was listening to the show, we were talking about something, and then the ads for that thing started showing up.

Yeah, oh god, it's Phong from Plasticell. He says, you guys were talking about slouching with Theo Von today, and this popped up on his feed just now. I never Googled it before, and it's some fucking alarm that goes off when you slouch forward. Have you seen those things? You glue them on you?

SPEAKER_3 (0:43)

I've been getting an ad for that, too.

Joe Rogan (0:45)

Oh, you have? So it might be a coincidence?

SPEAKER_3 (0:47)

It could be that, or it could be targeting Joe Rogan listeners.

Brendan Schaub (0:50)

Yeah, which is what they do, the way it works.

Joe Rogan (0:53)

So they found out that we were listening?

SPEAKER_3 (0:55)

No, they could just be going, I mean, maybe that, but like, there's a large audience here, so they could just be going after, like...

Joe Rogan (1:00)

Right, but do you think, like what Adam Green, she said the other day, that...

SPEAKER_3 (1:04)

That's happening, yeah...

Joe Rogan (1:05)

.talking about, he was talking about Toyota trucks, and then all of a sudden his Google ads started showing up, Toyota Tacomas. And he was like, dude, he goes, they're listening, the robots are listening.

Brendan Schaub (1:15)

Someone's listening, but they're also looking for like key terms and stuff like that.

Joe Rogan (1:19)

But they're listening to your phone as you're having a conversation.

Brendan Schaub (1:22)

You think?

Joe Rogan (1:23)

Yes.

SPEAKER_3 (1:25)

I have a few instances, I took screenshots because it happened three consecutive weeks. I touched something, I literally like held the object in my hand.

And within 12 hours, I was getting an ad for it.

Joe Rogan (1:36)

Maybe you're magic, bro.

SPEAKER_3 (1:37)

It's very strange. One of them I have a little explanation. The other two are like, they're so weird, it's like, how the fuck am I getting an ad for this thing now? I've never even seen this, I've never talked about it to anybody, I didn't tell anybody I was holding it.

Joe Rogan (1:48)

Yeah, you got to always be careful of like this idea, you know, because sometimes things are just a coincidence.

And this idea that there's some grand conspiracy when it could be easily explained by a coincidence. But the thing that Adam said, he said, he goes, man, I never fucking googled Toyota trucks. Is that a good?

Brendan Schaub (2:09)

That's pretty good.

Joe Rogan (2:09)

Not really.

Brendan Schaub (2:10)

Not bad.

Joe Rogan (2:10)

Not that good.

Brendan Schaub (2:11)

A little British.

Joe Rogan (2:13)

But he was saying that they start popping up right after the podcast, immediately. So, if that's the case, they had to be listening to his podcast.

Brendan Schaub (2:22)

Or they were listening. One of them's listening, because you have a large audience, someone from there's listening to it live.

Joe Rogan (2:28)

Right.

Brendan Schaub (2:28)

And then they're just like, dude, they launched those ads.

Joe Rogan (2:32)

Yeah, but how does it get on his Google feed? Yeah.

Brendan Schaub (2:38)

You think they would spoil more fucking crime and stuff if they're listening to everything.

SPEAKER_3 (2:42)

Nah.

Joe Rogan (2:42)

You don't make money spoiling crime, bro. Come on, man. You make money selling trucks.

I don't know. I mean, I feel like for sure when I Google something, it starts popping up. We know that. But that seems normal.

Brendan Schaub (2:56)

Oh, dude. If you go on my phone right now, because I've been looking at Dodge Vipers, anything I click on, Dodge Vipers pop up, even on ads on Instagram.

Joe Rogan (3:03)

Really?

Brendan Schaub (3:04)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (3:04)

They just want to...

Brendan Schaub (3:05)

They're just trying to get you to... Or like when I look at houses, certain house markets pop up. It's weird.

Joe Rogan (3:12)

They know. This motherfucker's looking to spend some money. Yeah. Speaking of spending some money, Ford, why do you hate America?

They released a new GT 500, only in automatic.

Brendan Schaub (3:23)

Oh my God. What a shame.

Joe Rogan (3:25)

What a shame.

Brendan Schaub (3:26)

Is it only automatic?

Joe Rogan (3:27)

Only automatic.

Brendan Schaub (3:28)

I didn't know that I posted on my story because some dude was like, Shaub, when you get one of these? And I was like, God, that thing is dope. I posted with like a thinking face, now that it's automatic, it ain't happening.
