  1. Right. Well, I hope that happens. Really do, and I hope you're safe over there, and I hope you come back with whatever insight you're. Trying to achieve

  2. Policy based entirely on the amount of profit it could generate for a party or for a company that is investing in a candidate. That's fucking incredibly dangerous and it's corrupt. And that corruption has been accepted. We've just accepted that this corruption exists, you know?

  3. We have a dirty political system that's completely corrupted by money, completely corrupted by influence. The fact that, you know, the lobbyists, I mean, there's an area outside of Washington, D.C. It's one of the richest areas in the country, and it's where the lobbyists live. There's so much money involved in being a lobbyist. There's so much money involved in special interest groups and how much of an impact they have on who gets elected and what decisions get made once that person gets elected. We know this, right? We know it's not for the people by the people. It's just not what it is. I mean, this country is an experiment in self-government. And if we could do it all over again, I would say the most important thing is to have laws in place to keep money out of politics and to make it a heinous crime for someone to influence laws.

  4. I think it makes it evident that there is no clear cut real right way to do it and that if you have the perfect person in having them for twelve, twenty years would be amazing. If you had a perfect benevolent leader who clearly only cared about the people, was doing their best and striving hard and got great satisfaction in knowing that he is a dedicated civil servant that only wants to lead the country in a way that's going to benefit the most people in the most profound way.

  5. The value of dictatorships. One of the things about the United States that's fascinating to me is that every four years, unless it's 4 to 8 years, right, someone does two terms, but every four years, there's an opportunity for someone to be new and completely inexperienced at the most difficult job in the world. Which is ridiculous

  6. It would be, but all jokes aside with Putin. I would ask questions about Democracy versus what they have. I mean, without any disparaging descriptions of what is going on over in Russia, it's clearly not a democracy. It's I mean, the way he has it set up, the elections are a joke. He's

  7. You would have to go on Fox News. The mainstream media treats him with kid gloves in a way that I've never seen. I mean, it's so obvious there's something horribly wrong with his cognitive function.

    2022-07-04 · Lex Fridman Podcast · #300 – Joe Rogan: Comedy, Controversy, Aliens, UFOs, Putin, CIA, and Freedom · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  8. People often ask. They were doing that about Trump too. The thing about Putin, though, is his appearance is altered, where he looks very bloated. His body doesn't look much bigger, but his face looks like puffy and swollen. I had a friend who had sarcoidosis. And they prescribe prednosone, which is a type of a steroid. And one of the things that would happen when he was on it is his face would get really big. It was like, he would blow up like swell up and maintain a lot of water and inflammation. And that's what it looks like when I'm looking at food.

  9. The narrative is terrifying, right? Dictator of the largest nuclear arsenal in the world who also has cancer and just invaded a sovereign country. That's a terrifying narrative because that's what we're all afraid of. Someone who has nothing to lose, who just decides to let loose a nuke.

  10. It's so valuable to have quality people around you because it makes you want to do better because you admire the hard work that these people put in, like Mike Campaigns or Goggins or many of my friends and people that are generous and people that are curious and people that are honest, they inspire you to do the same. And it's extremely valuable. It's one of the most valuable things is to surround yourself with positive, healthy, friendly, generous people.

  11. She's happy. She's a happy person. She's happy to be around. That's the kind of people that you could have in your life as friends and as co-workers and as lovers and wives and husbands, you can find those people. They're real. And when you find those people, your life is better. Like to have a good tribe is very important. To have a good tribe of people, you know. And I think if there's anything that I'm very, very fortunate about, it's the people that I'm around. I have very good friends, and one of which is you.

  12. That's my advice about relationships be somebody. And then also find someone who you can grow with, right? You don't want to be with someone who doesn't share your value. You don't want to be with someone who makes excuses. You don't want to be with someone who's lazy or who's spiteful. You want to be with someone who's like genuinely kind. That's one of the things that I really love about my wife and she's very smart and she works hard. She's like, she's a dedicated disciplined person, but she's also really nice. That's one of the things I like the most about her. She's so nice. She's always smiling.

  13. Think you should record all conversations the CIA's doing it no matter what? I assume that every conversation I have is recorded because I'm pretty sure it is.

  14. Settle for the wrong person, like you can get hot and nice. They're out there. But don't get hot and mean. Hot and mean is not fun. Then you get amber heard.

  15. It does. It's a different thing, but it's also, you got to find the right person. There's a lot of people who settle for sexy. They settle for hot

  16. Well, you're a great guy. So this definitely doesn't necessarily apply to you, but be someone who someone would want to be in a relationship with. There's a lot of people out there that want a great partner. They want someone in a relationship. But why would someone want to be in a relationship with you? You know, maybe you bicker a lot. Maybe you're jealous. Maybe you lie. Maybe you... Maybe you're cruel, maybe you don't have a sense of humor, maybe you're, you know, you're not kind. Like what is it about you that people would not enjoy being around or the people avoid fix that?

  17. It's definitely a form of meditation, and you can attest to that, right? You do quite a bit of running. There's a thing about You're kind of almost like a mantra gets formed, and you get into it.

  18. Only pursue intellectual exercises, only pursue intellectual things, and don't pursue anything physical, that the physical stuff is base, it's grunt work, it's primal, it's not necessary. I don't think that's accurate. I don't think that, I mean, obviously these people like Stephen Hawkings, who have no opportunity to do anything physical, right? His physical dilemma is keeping us or was keeping his heart beating. But for most people, I think you can really benefit from physical struggle. And you benefit from it in a mental way. And I think that is overlooked. That's unfortunately overlooked by academics and intellectuals who they make excuses for why they're fat and lazy or scrawny.

    2022-07-04 · Lex Fridman Podcast · #300 – Joe Rogan: Comedy, Controversy, Aliens, UFOs, Putin, CIA, and Freedom · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  19. Tasks. Give yourself something an arduous, difficult task where you're challenged, challenged mentally and challenged physically. One of the great things about being challenged physically is it's also mental. The people that don't understand that have never really been challenged physically. People that think that physical challenges are just physical. It's just grunt work. It's not. It's emotional intelligence. It's understanding your desire to quit and, you know, conquering your inner bitch. All that stuff is mental. It's playing out inside your head. And there's a mental strength that you acquire from that that you can apply to intellectual pursuits. And the people that don't think that or the people that haven't attempted them. And there's an arrogance to people that

    2022-07-04 · Lex Fridman Podcast · #300 – Joe Rogan: Comedy, Controversy, Aliens, UFOs, Putin, CIA, and Freedom · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  20. Yeah, yeah, yeah, there's a lot of if you're alive, you can get better at stuff. And I don't think people are happy if they don't have puzzles and complex tasks and things that are interesting to them, whether it's an art project or whether it's learning something completely new like stand-up comedy. Doing things that are difficult is as much of a nourishment of the mind as food is a nourishment of the body. I think you need things that are puzzling to you where you have to find your own human potential in the difficulty of the task and work your way through things, at least for me. For me, I mean, I can only speak for me because I'm the only life that I've ever lived that I'm aware of. And in my life, that has been 100% constant. I am a very happy person and I have never had a moment where I'm not doing difficult shit. Ever

    2022-07-04 · Lex Fridman Podcast · #300 – Joe Rogan: Comedy, Controversy, Aliens, UFOs, Putin, CIA, and Freedom · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  21. Yeah, no matter what. If you're alive, you can shift things. I mean, if you're 90 years old and, you know, you have a month to live, you can apologize for the things you think you did wrong and maybe sort of reconcile and shape relationships that you have with the people that are around you better so that they feel differently about you after you're gone

    2022-07-04 · Lex Fridman Podcast · #300 – Joe Rogan: Comedy, Controversy, Aliens, UFOs, Putin, CIA, and Freedom · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  22. Well, if you're enjoying it, but if you're not enjoying it, rethink your life. Try to figure out why you're not enjoying it.

    2022-07-04 · Lex Fridman Podcast · #300 – Joe Rogan: Comedy, Controversy, Aliens, UFOs, Putin, CIA, and Freedom · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  23. Yes 100% 100%. If David and I are alive, we're both seventy, he's going to call me up and say, stay hard, motherfucker. Guaranteed. Guaranteed

  24. If you're David Goggins, you have to be David Goggins. I don't think there's a path for that guy that exists at this stage of his life other than that.

    2022-07-04 · Lex Fridman Podcast · #300 – Joe Rogan: Comedy, Controversy, Aliens, UFOs, Putin, CIA, and Freedom · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  25. And also understanding that you can't listen to people because even my parents didn't want me to do martial arts, they didn't want me to fight. They didn't want me to do stand up. There's like, you have to understand who you are. And then in the face of other people's either criticism or Lack of faith in your ability to succeed. You push through and there's great benefit in that. And then you realize that you can kind of apply that to other things in life. You can apply that to critics. You can apply that to social media accommodators. You can apply that to a lot of things.

    2022-07-04 · Lex Fridman Podcast · #300 – Joe Rogan: Comedy, Controversy, Aliens, UFOs, Putin, CIA, and Freedom · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  26. That other people are scared of. And that gave me immense confidence and also a real understanding of the direct correlation between hard work and success.

  27. Find something, find a thing that you genuinely enjoy because getting good at things you genuinely enjoy is extremely beneficial for young people because it lets you know that everybody thinks they're a loser. Every young person thinks they're a loser. At least a young person in the situation I was at. I didn't know I wasn't a loser until I started winning, until I started doing martial arts. Martial arts taught me that like I could get better at stuff, that it wasn't, I wasn't really a loser. I just was someone who was like in a fucked up situation. But you could channel all that energy that you have as a young person into something and get better at it. And then all of a sudden people admired me. I was like, this is crazy. So I went from being someone who was incredibly insecure and basically a failure to someone who was really successful at this one thing that was very dangerous.

    2022-07-04 · Lex Fridman Podcast · #300 – Joe Rogan: Comedy, Controversy, Aliens, UFOs, Putin, CIA, and Freedom · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  28. Yes. For me early on, it was drawing. It was illustrations. It was comic books. I wanted to be a comic book illustrator. And then it went from comic book drawing and illustrations to martial arts. But it was just another thing that I was very, very passionate about. And that was my vehicle out of my dilemma. That was my vehicle out of my own anxiety and trauma and my own issues and insecurities.

    2022-07-04 · Lex Fridman Podcast · #300 – Joe Rogan: Comedy, Controversy, Aliens, UFOs, Putin, CIA, and Freedom · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  29. My quote unquote hero very early on and then having to form my own opinions about things, it left me with a very independent streak, you know, in terms of, and if I hadn't done the things that I got interested in, martial arts and then comedy, if I hadn't gotten interested in those things, I would have been fucked because I was just too independent for normal jobs. I was too independent for school. I just didn't want to listen to people. I was too feral. I just didn't want to sit still. If I was with the wrong parents, especially today, I most certainly would have been medicated.

    2022-07-04 · Lex Fridman Podcast · #300 – Joe Rogan: Comedy, Controversy, Aliens, UFOs, Putin, CIA, and Freedom · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  30. Pretty sure it's not there I don't know. I think I've looked. I mean, it certainly had an effect. I think the positive effect also was compounded by the fact that when my mother married my stepdad, who's a great guy. Was a hippie, very different. We moved around a lot. And so the bad thing about that was I didn't really develop long-term friends. The good thing about that was that I was forced to develop my own opinions about things. Instead of adopting an opinion of the neighborhood and the group about anything, I was forced to form my own thoughts and opinions about almost everything. And so it made me much more of an independent thinker. So that on top of the fact that

    2022-07-04 · Lex Fridman Podcast · #300 – Joe Rogan: Comedy, Controversy, Aliens, UFOs, Putin, CIA, and Freedom · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  31. I don't think so. I'm not aware if it is because I've looked, you know, like if someone says, you know, I left something over your house. Like, where'd you leave it? I don't know. Like, I'll go look. Get a real thorough look

    2022-07-04 · Lex Fridman Podcast · #300 – Joe Rogan: Comedy, Controversy, Aliens, UFOs, Putin, CIA, and Freedom · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  32. Remember, he said to me, I thought it was in real trouble because I remember my cousin's mom was yelling at me and was like, you monster, all this crazy shit. My dad got me a loan, and he said, Tell me what happened. I told him, you know, we got in a fight, we're arguing, we were King Kong Godzilla, and I punched him in the face. And he goes, did you cry? I go, no. He goes, good, don't ever cry. And I remember that, like, whoa. Okay. And I remember thinking, all right, I'm just going to start punching people. Because, like, obviously, my dad thinks it's a good idea if I go running around punching people as long as I don't cry. I remember certain things about, you know, and also like this is, again, like we were talking about. Watching Lenny Bruce and getting a timeline of what the world was like back then. This is a different world.

  33. Some animals, like, here's a better example a wolverine. Wolverines chase wolves and bears off of their kills. And they're not very big at all. They're just so ferocious. And they're so durable. Like, it's very hard to kill a wolverine.

  35. No back. No. You can't kill Godzilla with a plane. That shit wouldn't work in Godzilla. Killed King Kong. King Kong in the new movies kept growing.

    2022-07-04 · Lex Fridman Podcast · #300 – Joe Rogan: Comedy, Controversy, Aliens, UFOs, Putin, CIA, and Freedom · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  36. No, there's no argument to be made. 500 feet tall versus 50 feet tall. One's a gigantic dinosaur. One is a stupid monkey who gets shot down by a plane.

  37. Everybody wants to be like their dad, especially if your dad is like an imposing figure. I remember one time me and my cousin got in a fight over nothing. It was like over who's tougher, King Cong or Godzilla.

    2022-07-04 · Lex Fridman Podcast · #300 – Joe Rogan: Comedy, Controversy, Aliens, UFOs, Putin, CIA, and Freedom · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  38. Well, at the time, I thought that my father was like a hero. You know, he was my dad. I think every kid thinks like that about his dad. His dad is like your dad's your protector. Your dad is like the coolest guy in the world. That's what you like.

    2022-07-04 · Lex Fridman Podcast · #300 – Joe Rogan: Comedy, Controversy, Aliens, UFOs, Putin, CIA, and Freedom · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  39. Yeah, it's always funny. He's the best at doing that, especially in a podcast forum about weaving, like really important points in with hilarious, obviously just, you know, just jokes.

    2022-07-04 · Lex Fridman Podcast · #300 – Joe Rogan: Comedy, Controversy, Aliens, UFOs, Putin, CIA, and Freedom · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  40. Yeah, I mean, it might be inspiring and fun. Oh, Tim Dillon's a great example of that. Yeah. He's got some amazing insights in his comedy, but

    2022-07-04 · Lex Fridman Podcast · #300 – Joe Rogan: Comedy, Controversy, Aliens, UFOs, Putin, CIA, and Freedom · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  41. Nobody gives a shit. You could be a woman or a man or ambiguous. Nobody fucking cares. Are you funny? And that's the most important thing for a community of comedy to really promote comedy. Just funny. Just be funny. And so in that sense, Kill Tony is a real cornerstone of comedy.

    2022-07-04 · Lex Fridman Podcast · #300 – Joe Rogan: Comedy, Controversy, Aliens, UFOs, Putin, CIA, and Freedom · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  42. He's so good, and his comedy is just all just trying to be as funny as possible. There's not a chance in hell that guy's just going to go woke and he's just going to start promoting some sort of, you know, socially conscious agenda that's facetious and just a bunch of nonsense that he's trying to elevate his own personal brand and virtue signal. That's not going to happen. The thing about Kill Tony is in that because you only have one minute and because it's live and because you don't want Tony shitting on you, everybody else shitting on, everybody's just gearing up to try to be as funny as possible. And no one cares if you are gay or straight or Asian or black or trans or non-binary. Nobody gives a fuck. Are you funny? If you're funny, you're in and everybody loves you. You could be 80. You could be 20.

    2022-07-04 · Lex Fridman Podcast · #300 – Joe Rogan: Comedy, Controversy, Aliens, UFOs, Putin, CIA, and Freedom · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  43. That is it. It's like the cop out is that they can't do the real comedy. They can't crush. It's not like someone goes from being, you know, take Shane Gillis, one of the best comics up and coming right now. He's fucking fantastic. I can't recommend enough seeing that guy live. I work with him in Irvine, and I hadn't seen like his whole set. I was crying. I mean, he's so good. I heard racist.

    2022-07-04 · Lex Fridman Podcast · #300 – Joe Rogan: Comedy, Controversy, Aliens, UFOs, Putin, CIA, and Freedom · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  44. Have to be socially aware that you have to promote things that are positive in your comedy, which is bullshit. The people that say that, they're all bad. They're all bad at comedy. And that's where the insecurity is. It's like they can't just kill. So they have to pretend that they're supposed to be socially aware. And that being socially aware is an important part to society. Like, let me explain something really clearly. It's not a fucking person on earth who's ever changed their life because of a joke. That's not what they're there for. They're there for jokes. The people that say that, they say that socially important comedy is the only comedy that's necessary, the only comedy that you have to do. That is just because they suck.

    2022-07-04 · Lex Fridman Podcast · #300 – Joe Rogan: Comedy, Controversy, Aliens, UFOs, Putin, CIA, and Freedom · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  45. Because, first of all, it establishes stand up in a sense that for the open micro, for the people that are starting it out, it establishes that the most important thing is to be funny. Like this is what the art form is all about. And there's a lot of insecurity attached to that, a lot of fears. And so to alleviate some of those insecurities and fears, people will. Decide that the message is more important and they'll pretend that, you know, like you have to have to have

  47. Essentially a different person every day of your life. You know, you're similar, but you're more tired, you're more rested, you're exhausted, you're refreshed, you have vitamins and food, nourishment in your system, you just had your heart broken, you haven't slept in days. You're a different person all the time. And you go onto that stage. You're in the neighborhood of who lacks Friedman is. You're in the Lex Friedman neighborhood. Which Lex Friedman am I going to get?

    2022-07-04 · Lex Fridman Podcast · #300 – Joe Rogan: Comedy, Controversy, Aliens, UFOs, Putin, CIA, and Freedom · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  48. Hard well, it depends on how long you've been thinking about doing comedy. It depends on how you look at things. And also depends on your style of comedy. Like the most difficult style of comedy is like I think like Stephen Wright's style is probably the most difficult style of comedy, complete non-sequiturs. One subject doesn't lead into the next. There's no flow to it. It's just, I noticed this. I noticed that. And then there's this and then there's that. And that's hard to memorize. And it's really hard to piece together an hour of non sequiturs.

    2022-07-04 · Lex Fridman Podcast · #300 – Joe Rogan: Comedy, Controversy, Aliens, UFOs, Putin, CIA, and Freedom · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  49. Learn through doing. And I think you could say that about podcasting too. I'm certainly way better at having conversations than I ever was when I first started doing comedy or excuse me when I first started doing podcasts. You learn stuff.
