In this episode of Train My Day, I sit down with Joe Rogan to talk about his weight loss journey, how he got to where he is now, and how he's doing it. Joe has lost over 80 pounds in less than a year and a half, dropping from a weight of 265 pounds to 185 pounds. He talks about how he did it, what he's eating to get there, and why he thinks it's the most important thing he can do.
00:01:01.000You know, I just realized that I mean, I've trained enough now where I can do a good workout on my own, but I always feel like it's never as good as when he's there.
00:02:43.000And my pre-workout meal are these like, I guess it's like musili kind of like grains, you know, with some honey, a little bit of almond butter, and then I have Greek yogurt with a scoop of whey protein.
00:03:55.000And then I would say in the last decade, a lot of my bedtime kind of shifted to like around midnight.
00:04:01.000And then it shifted to like a little bit like closer to 11.
00:04:05.000In the last few months, like sticking to this plan, I've started to go to bed sometimes at like 10, 10.30, which for me is like very early.
00:04:57.000If I don't work out first thing in the morning, though, it used to be I used to like working out at night because in jiu-jitsu I'd always like doing it at night.
00:05:20.000I used to say, well, I will say that like, I feel like my strongest between like 11 and 1, like the middle of the day, is when if you were like, draw up an ideal strength time, that's when I feel like I'm like, oh, that's when I'm at my best.
00:05:41.000But I've pivoted to now really enjoying these first thing in the morning workouts where I feel like my whole day is set when I have those workouts.
00:05:50.000And I also realize that if I don't, I feel so much different throughout that day.
00:07:07.000I noticed the difference between, because I was doing 45-minute cardio sessions and when I upped it to an hour, the 15-minute difference for me felt like another hour.
00:07:18.000Like pushing it 15 more minutes was really, really hard.
00:07:22.000Well, that's when it's hardest, when you're tired already.
00:07:44.000Yeah, well, I don't mean like that like I have to do, but like just the data that people are talking about as people age of like if you're not lifting and your bone density goes down or like your VO2 Mac, like learning about that stuff and going like, if you don't start thinking about that at a certain age, one day it will be like so out of your grasp.
00:08:08.000I was just having this conversation with Shane Gillis.
00:08:10.000I was like, you have to realize like 20 years goes by so fast because I'm 20 years older than him.
00:08:15.000And I'm like, 20 years ago, I, like, that happened.
00:09:39.000It's like there's guys that like never got going with their life or they got distracted with stupid shit and they never really like focused on whatever it is they do with their careers.
00:09:51.000And then you see them 20 years later, they're in their late 40s and they're fucking scrambling and depressed.
00:09:56.000I'm friends with so many of them, dude.
00:11:24.000When I just watch some fucking random YouTube video on ancient history, it's like, okay, why am I falling asleep at two in the morning and forcing myself to finish this fucking hour and 50-minute documentary on Syria?
00:13:38.000Like you didn't get it right or the writers decided to change something or there's whatever, for whatever reason, you do a bunch of them after the audience leaves.
00:13:46.000So I saw those without the laugh track and I was like, what is this?
00:14:44.000But then all of a sudden, we were like, oh, here's The Simpsons.
00:14:48.000And what we did was we started with episode one of The Simpsons.
00:14:53.000And what I was so surprised by, I was, because I was taken by just how good the old one, like, we're watching like season one, season two, like the really old ones, where everything, where it took 18 months to produce an episode.
00:22:03.000I guess, but it's not like, it's definitely not a punch that would really have that much of an effect on somebody who knows what they're doing.
00:22:11.000I mean, you could probably land that on someone who also doesn't fight.
00:22:15.000You can land a lot of things on people if they don't know you're going to punch them.
00:22:20.000When I used to teach martial arts, one of the first things I would tell people is you have to realize that action is so much faster than reaction.
00:22:27.000So the reason why a sucker punch works is because you have no idea that this person is going to do it.
00:22:32.000And then by the time they're doing it, it's too late.
00:22:36.000That's why people get punched like that.
00:22:38.000I'm like, you can't ever let anybody get close enough.
00:22:41.000You can't ever let anybody that's threatening you get in a position where they think like you think that they could hit you and you don't know what's coming.
00:25:08.000Travis Brown completely changed the way people look at the clinch because he elbowed so many people into oblivion.
00:25:16.000If you got a hold of a single on that guy and your head was right there or a double, anything where you're trying to take him down against the cage and your head is right there.
00:28:47.000Because when you're young, if you learn how to compete when you're young, oh my God, it has so many benefits for the rest of your life because it's so scary.
00:36:27.000I want to look like Iron Man or whoever.
00:36:29.000But my problem is like is like, it's like not, that doesn't feel like I'm going to run out at some point and be like, this is unsustainable.
00:37:34.000Especially if you want to do this one thing that everybody else is working really hard to.
00:37:38.000You got to figure out how to separate yourself.
00:37:40.000And it's like if you're running an ultra marathon and you have 200 miles to run and you take time and you're running and you're running at a really good pace, maybe even a faster pace than other people, but then you take naps.
00:37:54.000You take a nap for an hour or two hours or three hours.
00:37:56.000And then you say, look, it'll be better this way.
00:38:33.000Well, you have to be a complete nut and then you have to want to test yourself to the point of almost death because that's what these people are doing.
00:38:40.000They're running like Goggins, he ran one of these fucking things, got rhabdo.
00:38:46.000So rhabdomyelosis was when you worked out too hard, your body can't recover, and you start pissing brown real bad.
00:41:16.000Because if he had a much bigger gas tank, like if he was training with some of these elite world-class strength and conditioning coaches and just worked on his cardio, he'd be beating way more guys.
00:48:17.000And there's a lot of guys that make a living doing it and they make good money and they feed their families.
00:48:22.000And I'm not saying, but if you have an option, I don't think you should do it unless you're a fucking complete maniac, absolutely obsessed.
00:48:31.000You want to do it more than you want to do anything else in life.
00:48:34.000Because if you don't feel like that, there's a guy out there that does.
00:48:55.000There's all these guys out there in the world that are that obsessed.
00:48:58.000There's all these Islam Makachevs and Ilya Taporias.
00:49:02.000There's these guys out there in the world that are just driven.
00:49:06.000And if you want to fight, if you really want to fight, if you run into one of those guys and you're not doing what they're doing, you're going to get tuned up.
00:50:16.000Like, if you think you're going to be a journeyman and you're going to all of a sudden, you know, be looking across the octagon and that guy's standing there, trauma.
00:53:13.000And I was like, this is fucking crazy.
00:53:15.000But when you're out there, yeah, you are kind of wowed.
00:53:19.000You know, you're just in awe of everything around you.
00:53:23.000And like just the fact that this is on the planet with us.
00:53:27.000And you can make a trek to a place like this where there's species of not just animals, flowers and trees and things that don't exist anywhere else.
00:53:36.000And it's so rich with everything that's there.
00:53:59.000Those are agriculture plants that grew out of control, got out of control.
00:54:03.000And they constantly find, but they'll find, you know, they'll find like a species of a bird, and they'll be like, this is the only place we've ever seen this bird.
00:54:10.000It doesn't exist anywhere else on the planet.
00:55:03.000They stop people from, I don't know if they plant, honestly.
00:55:06.000They stop people from cutting things down.
00:55:08.000The problem with planting, and this is where the Amazon gets really weird, the Amazon soil natively is not conducive for growing a lot of stuff.
00:55:18.000So there's a type of soil that's man-made that they do not know how they did it.
00:55:25.000They do not know when they started doing it.
00:55:30.000And it's a thick, dark, man-made soil.
00:55:33.000So it's essentially compost and all these different process and carbon and a bunch of things that they get into this man-made layer that's all over the Amazon.
00:57:33.000This is like the same, you know, the theory that, you know, how like UAPs have become more, like there's congressional testimonies about it, and everybody's always talking about where are these visitors coming from?
00:58:57.000And every time, because you see photos and stuff, when you're actually there, you're like, Your brain just goes, it doesn't, because it's all theories.
00:59:07.000Everyone, like, you'll have a guide who's like, this is how, and you're like, yeah, but this is your guess, motherfucker.
00:59:30.000And that there have been some enormous seismic changes, you know, earthquakes and the like, which is one of the reasons why they made those stones the way they did in the first place.
00:59:39.000Like, if you see the stones, they're cut like jigsaw puzzle pieces and slipped into place.
00:59:44.000The reason why they did that is because that would better redistribute any energy that would come from an earthquake.
00:59:52.000So instead of like bricks stacked on top of bricks, they're all like interlocking with each other with a bunch of different angles and they're immense.
01:01:37.000So they found camel teeth fragments under a layer of volcanic ash from an eruption of Mount St. Helens that was dated over 15,000 years ago.
01:01:45.000Team also uncovered two finely crafted orange, I don't know what that word is.
01:02:11.000The date in association with stone tools suggests that the Rim Rock Draw Rock Shelter is one of the oldest human occupation sites in North America.
01:02:19.000See if you can find what that looks like.
01:02:21.000So there's a few places in America where people are like, okay, what the fuck is this?
01:02:28.000And one of them that's really interesting, what does perplexity have to say about this?
01:02:33.000The site is a shallow rock shelter about three meters deep, 20 meters long on a basalt rim near the town of Riley in Harnage County, Oregon, at the northern edge of the Great Basin.
01:03:30.000So there's an argument, though, that there are similar, but not as uniquely man-made looking structures that are not, that are definitely not man-made.
01:03:40.000Wait, so this is a the debate is that this might not be man-made?
01:03:43.000Like this might be naturally occurring?
01:04:37.000Because if it turns out that people did make this thing, and apparently it goes deep into the ground, like there's some cuts that looks like, and then there's also some evidence that looks like somebody might have been working on the stone, like drill holes or something.
01:10:56.000And the thing is, it's like if you just saw the outside, you'd go, oh, that's a cool structure or a cool sculpture, rather.
01:11:02.000But then when you see the actual ligaments and tendons and all the stuff inside of it, you go, oh, no, this is a living being, whatever the hell it is.
01:11:10.000And they all have three toes and three fingers.
01:11:15.000It just strikes me, too, that this isn't the primary conversation we're having, though.
01:11:45.000She's got the one on her forehead, and she's got several of them on her body.
01:11:50.000It's a very weird thing because it seems like it's a living creature, but it's not like a human being.
01:11:56.000Like, even the way it's skull, those lines in the skull, like we all have those, whatever those lines are, the plates, their lines are different than ours.
01:12:35.000But you're going to have to bring equipment down there because testing has to be done.
01:12:40.000Like we have to figure out what these things are because it seems like it's a life form that is a bipedal hominid that's different than us that probably lived alongside.
01:12:49.000By the way, that thing's also 1,200 years old.
01:13:00.000They could be the same civilization that also did all those structures up there.
01:13:04.000There might have been living amongst us.
01:13:06.000There might have been multiple different civilizations in the past that just don't exist anymore.
01:13:11.000If these things turn out to be real and they do have this enormous head and these weird spindly bodies and three fingers and three toes and they start finding more and more artifacts that point to that, I mean, that changes our understanding of what has existed here before.
01:13:25.000Because whatever that thing is, it's at the very least, it's advanced enough to give itself metal implants.
01:15:04.000So maybe it's from here and went extinct, or maybe it's in the ocean.
01:15:08.000Or the congressional testimony of like high-level whistleblowers being like, we have these whatever, this ship, whatever you want to call it, that we've, and then it's like in a congressional testimony, and everyone's like, that's cool.
01:16:31.000It seems like that would take five minutes.
01:16:33.000I mean, it feels like, I mean, you can't help but feel like the administration is just like watching their back, and that's why it's happening.
01:17:01.000Because if you're a 60-year-old billionaire and you're a freak and you like to get your freak on, but unfortunately, you're a gigantic software developer and everybody knows who you are.
01:19:32.000Epstein Files Transparency Act imposes a clear legal duty on the U.S. Department of Justice to produce the full and complete record of the public demands and deserves that the public demands and deserves.
01:19:42.000However, what the Department of Justice has released so far and the manner in which it did so makes one thing clear.
01:19:48.000Someone or something is being protected.
01:20:11.000Accordingly, we call on President Trump to direct Attorney General Bondi to immediately release any remaining materials referring to, mentioning, or containing a photograph of Bill Clinton.
01:20:22.000This includes, without limitation, any records that may exist and are subject to disclosure under the Act Public Law 119-38, enacted on November 19th, 2025, including grand jury transcripts, interview notes, photographs, and findings.
01:22:48.000You're saying, be careful because someone killed him, right?
01:22:51.000Which is what we all think, which is why there's no fucking, the cameras were down, which is why the guards were asleep, which is why his fucking, his gigantic roommate who was a murderer and a drug-dealing cop who assassinated people, who's built like a fucking gorilla.
01:23:35.000Just imagine what kind of a plan you would have for the biggest defendant in any sort of high-level espionage, possibly involving foreign governments.
01:23:52.000And you'd put him in a prison cell, a cage, with a guy who's committed four different murders.
01:24:25.000He testified that the hyoid, I think it's called the hyoid bone that was snapped on Epstein was far more consistent with, as he says, a homicide.
01:28:09.000Yeah, but I'm looking at the Nobel Prize.
01:28:13.000It says there's a well-known story about the origin of the Nobel Prize, although historians have been unable to verify it and some dismiss it as a myth.
01:28:19.000Well, let's find out if the story of him being called the merchant of death are true and the fake death when people thought he died.
01:28:37.000Well, that was also what, you know, some really evil people have done also, you know, like if you want to, like, serial killers, you know, like John Wayne Gacy was like, I do clown parties for kids.
01:29:28.000Okay, Nobel grew extremely wealthy from inventions like dynamite and blasting gelatin, which are widely used in warfare and earned him the nickname the merchant of death in the press.
01:29:37.0001888 French newspaper mistakenly published his obituary after his brother's death, condemning him as a man who became rich by finding ways to kill more people faster.
01:29:45.000This stock, this shock, is widely seen as prompting him to rethink how he'd be remembered.
01:32:07.000And also, the stress of going through what that guy went through where they were trying to jail him when they were going after him with the Russia thing, the Russia hoax, and all that shit.
01:32:17.000Like, they were trying everything they could to destroy him.
01:32:20.000Just that alone's got to break your brain.
01:33:42.000He really understood like human emotion and storytelling across the board.
01:33:48.000Because it's one thing to be proficient in comedy.
01:33:51.000And you see this sometimes with comedy really high-level like Adam McKay did so much high-level comedy with Saturday Night Live and then Talladega Nights and those big Will Farrell movies.
01:34:04.000And then his pivot into drama is like exceptional.
01:35:48.000We get to make these like sketches and like little short films that are like whatever we can think of, whatever the craziest thing we can think of.
01:40:57.000But Nate's thing makes sense when you think about it.
01:40:59.000When you start doing stand-up, there's this thing that happens.
01:41:02.000When you're early on, young doing stand-up, and you start to do spots, a lot of people will be like, hey, if you can, curse less, be clean.
01:41:24.000When you're really funny, like Nate is, and you get really good, what you see on the business side of it is that when he announces a show, like when I announce a show, a couple might go, let's go see him, right?
01:42:27.000Yeah, Lincoln Financial, I think it is.
01:42:29.000There's people doing that now where there's so many of them where when we were coming up, the only people that had done it were Dane and Dice Club.
01:43:07.000Clips get shared, and then there's so much word of mouth.
01:43:10.000It's like that's the one good thing about social media: if something comes out and people like it, whether it's a new special that dropped or a new song or anything, it just gets shared.
01:44:33.000And then you got Scottsdale, which is all rich people.
01:44:35.000I remember we went to dinner, like that, I think, the night before, just like a steakhouse.
01:44:41.000And we were just like, we were like observing that when you go to dinner at a steakhouse in Phoenix, it feels like an after-party, but it's just dinner.
01:46:41.000And then somebody told me once, it might have been Louie told me that I think it was him that told me when I was doing the like going into arenas, he's like, your instinct will be to stay in the middle, but you should go further out to the edges.
01:46:56.000Because when you're further out to the outside of the stage that's in the round, you're actually open to more people.
01:48:32.000I forget who was on that, but I remember the absolute like pandemonium of that place where I was like shaking because it was like things had been shut down and they're like, this show is back.
01:49:11.000And they're like, here's a stand-up show in the round, in the arena, Joe, Dave, and the crowd was just like, I mean, it was like a fever pitch.
01:49:19.000There were so many people hanging out backstage.
01:50:31.000Because, I mean, I think you could put me with certain people, and then I would have been even more apprehensive.
01:50:38.000Well, that was the thing that I felt about coming here, like really quickly, that people here were not nearly as scared as people are in California.
01:50:45.000The whole attitude of the government here was very different.
01:50:48.000They were like, things should stay open.
01:50:49.000I remember I went and met with the governor and had dinner with him.
01:50:53.000And he was like, you know, we got to let people live their lives.
01:54:35.000Yeah, high-dose vitamins intravenously when you're not feeling well is phenomenal because it gives your body all the weapons that it needs to fight off whatever the fuck it's dealing with.
01:56:19.000It says short sessions, like three minutes weekly, can enhance color contrast vision by 17 to 20% adults over 34 with greater gains in older participants.
01:58:28.000I stayed in touch with this guy, and I would, every once in a while, would go there and I would get some of their pastries and I would do like an Instagram video.
01:58:37.000Like, hey, I'm at this place, and I would just say it.
01:59:21.000You know, I'm a business partner in this, and I market it in that I promote it.
01:59:27.000But the easiest thing is to market something that's fantastic.
01:59:32.000And I actually thought about the fact that I was like, for me, this is like, like, people trust your opinion on one of the reasons I think that Onit was successful with you is that they're like, this guy knows workouts.
02:02:02.000Show me one of them videos where they're pulling the sandwiches out and making them because there's a few where you get to see how hot the bread is.
02:09:29.000In obese mouse models, sloop 332 reduced fat gain by up to tenfold and compared to controls, promoted 12% body weight loss and enhanced metabolic function without altering appetite or activity levels.
02:10:30.000How are they even getting up on Amazon?
02:10:32.000I think they're, well, that's a whole different thing, but they're just copying the labels and stuff, making it look like it.
02:10:38.000I've heard that's the problem with pure encapsulations.
02:10:40.000I started buying their stuff from their website because I read that.
02:10:44.000Because I read that a high percentage was fraud.
02:10:48.000I don't know if you've ever researched this, but apparently when I was in Abu Dhabi, they were like, they have what's considered some of like the cleanest vitamins on, like, people go there just to get vitamins in the UAE.
02:16:50.000I mean, I don't want to give away any parts of it, but there's this one part where she finds something out and her fucking whole face starts shaking.
02:18:15.000Is it like, yeah, so we park ourselves in a club in Georgetown and talk to like real spooks and you know people in the intelligence community and the State Department and journalists and people who really what do they tell you?
02:18:30.000That like what's the most surprising thing that they've told you about their jobs or something you wouldn't need to know for?
02:18:36.000Right, we've been at it for a while and and the climate has been has changed, but this year it was all about, you know, the distrust between the administration and and the intelligence world and um, and the intelligence community was suddenly kind of allying itself with journalists, which usually they're live shooting.
02:18:53.000This episode, how long you start doing this show like the intelligence community aligns itself with journalists to try to get rid of the president.
02:19:03.000I had one time this is not the same thing, but I had a I know somebody who was very high up, i'll just say, in the intelligence community and is older now and I have a relationship with them and I was talking.
02:19:18.000Sometimes we would talk through it was through you know, my parents that that knew these people and I was.
02:19:24.000I would love to talk to this person because they were so not just well-informed intelligent, like fun to have a conversation with.
02:19:30.000And I was on the phone with them and as I asked the question they go not on the phone.
02:19:36.000And I and I I kind of was like repeating myself, I go, they go not on the phone.
02:20:00.000That's hanging out in Scottsdale doing blow.
02:20:03.000Yeah, talking about what's, new in Syria oh yeah yeah, you wind up getting whacked by some crazy person that kills himself, car accident or something.
02:20:12.000Yeah, you know about this Mit fusion guy that got assassinated.
02:20:16.000Supposedly the same guy who assassinated the Mit fusion guy also went to Brown University and shot people at Brown and then killed himself.
02:20:26.000Really yeah, and a lot of people are like what?
02:20:32.000He was working on fusion at MIT and he was also talking about the poles, the earth's poles shifting, and that this is a natural process that happens, that we have to do to keep our magnetosphere that protects us from the fucking rays of space.
02:20:51.000There's a lot of people that get killed because they are inventing things that are going to disrupt industries.
02:20:56.000That's what I believe and this is why we scroll tick six hours on tick tock, just like I don't want to.
02:21:01.000Yeah, you don't want to know, you don't want certain things you don't want to know.
02:21:04.000And Kurt Metzger texts me all of them, really texts me, all of them, everything that I don't want to know, that it shows up.
02:21:11.000I'm like fuck, or Dylan Tim Dylan texts me all and I text it to them too if I find something out, because there's just so much nutty in the world where you're like what is going on, like people getting whacked and oh Yeah, it can overwhelm you.
02:21:40.000And you also should limit your amount of time that you're exposed to all that psychotic behavior because it starts shaping the way you view people.
02:21:50.000If you interact with people more on social media than you do in real life, it can really fuck your head up.
02:22:55.000There's like entire companies that are based around crowd campaigns about organizing attacks on individuals, organizing narrative control or organizing, pushing a certain narrative.
02:23:08.000Entire businesses are built on that, where they try to shape things and make things go viral.
02:28:20.000It's also weird when you think about what happens on the corporate level that there's these corporations that make like hundreds of billions of dollars.
02:28:29.000And they're like, yeah, they didn't pay tax on this because they're this corporation.
02:29:17.000But I guess the argument that some people make against that is not that that guy shouldn't be wealthy.
02:29:22.000It's that when they have this overabundance of wealth and that the people that also work there don't have like certain health coverage or something.
02:31:19.000But it is like that almost unbelievable, you know what I mean, level of generosity that a guy won in capitalism to that degree and was like, he probably did mushrooms one day.
02:32:15.000When Forbes named Sam Walton, America's richest man, October 28th, 1985, people were shocked to discover he lived a humble life in Bentonville, Arkansas, with a muddy bird dog running around the yard.
02:33:47.000And he was murdered in his penthouse in Monaco.
02:33:51.000What was he doing that everybody wanted him dead?
02:33:53.000He just had a lot of in well, one of the things is that he invested or was like one of the people that got this Russian, I don't know if it was like Russian crypto, some type of currency or stock market in Russia that collapsed when Russia devalued their currency by like 75% all of a sudden one year.
02:34:14.000So billions of dollars disappeared from people.
02:34:17.000And so he became like a target of the Russians, but he also had connections to a lot of governments.
02:34:23.000When you're a high-level banker with banks everywhere, you're deeply connected to some like not-so-great people.
02:34:31.000And so there was always like who did it.
02:34:33.000And then his wife, who it was, I think she was, he was her fourth husband, also had two other husbands die.
02:34:46.000One of them was like the richest guy in Brazil.
02:35:13.000And then he's in the documentary during the interview, right?
02:35:16.000Like they keep interviewing him and other people.
02:35:19.000And then it's like the documentary ends.
02:35:21.000And then the documentary filmmaker is like, this is where the documentary was supposed to end.
02:35:28.000But this guy who we just did this documentary about, this male nurse, as we were in post-production on this, got arrested for, he did like some forged checks shit, I think maybe in Arizona, and got locked up.
02:35:45.000And his cellmate was like, yeah, he tried to hire me to kill his ex-wife.
02:35:49.000So then he got put on trial for soliciting to murder his ex-wife.
02:35:54.000And then they go and interview him again.
02:35:56.000He's like, nah, it's all bullshit, man.
02:39:28.000I mean, I went one the night before I went to see Jimmy Carr and Louie perform.
02:39:33.000And like I was, I was like, holy shit, they get like even like the little throwaway lines, you know, like the things that aren't even like the bit, like the little jokes.
02:39:42.000The only restriction that we were, that we had was about Islam and the royals.
02:39:48.000Which wasn't really a hard thing for most people to adhere to because like, you know, like me and those guys, like we didn't have Islam or royal jokes.
02:39:57.000We weren't cutting anything from our acts.
02:40:33.000It's just, people have a weirdness of like you're going over there because it's the Saudi royal family has the money.
02:40:41.000The Saudi family is the family that funds the entertainment fund.
02:40:46.000And then people were like, they would accuse me of whataboutism for saying that that's the same fund that paid for Ed Sheeran to come and Beyonce to come to do their shows.
02:42:19.000It was a bunch of 50-year-old feature acts that were upset.
02:42:23.000And then we went over there, had a great time.
02:42:27.000And I actually think that one of the things that was overlooked is the fact that we were all saying they're like, oh, you had to adhere to all.
02:42:34.000I was like, dude, I told you the two restrictions, which we had didn't affect my act.
02:42:40.000And I do think it's a sign of their progress that they put on this festival and that we were saying all kinds of wild shit, like the shit that we say on stage, without talk.
02:42:53.000I mean, that wasn't a crazy thing to me.
02:42:55.000Like, I think that that's showing, because what's happening actually there is that right now the entertainment hub of the Middle East is Dubai.
02:43:04.000That is the entertainment hub of the Middle East.
02:44:27.000Because it's not like if someone says don't sing any songs about Islam, you're like, well, I don't have any songs.
02:44:30.000But I have to say that also, like, some of these comics who are saying this, like, oh, you know, you don't have free speech and you adhered to these restrictions.
02:44:37.000It's like, have you ever done a private?
02:44:47.000And specifically, if you don't have that in your act already, then the question is, should you be working for those people because of what happened with Jamal Khashoggi?
02:46:43.000And I have to tell you, if you saw the faces of these people that we were performing for, and the, I mean, when you could, because sometimes they're like this.
02:46:51.000But how genuinely thankful and excited they were to be at these shows.
