00:00:00.160 Hi everybody, this is Gatsad. I've been fortunate enough to appear on Joe Rogan's show 10 times.
00:00:10.200 The last time was this past May. We had an incredible conversation. We always do.
00:00:16.700 It was, I think, over maybe three and a half hours long.
00:00:19.420 And actually during the same trip, I ended up visiting with Elon Musk, spent also nearly four hours at his house having a wonderful conversation.
00:00:33.760 So it's really incredible the types of connections that I've been able to have through my public engagement.
00:00:42.340 The reason for my clip today is that I found out recently, as many of you have, that Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are thinking of appearing on Joe Rogan's podcast.
00:00:59.660 So here are my thoughts about those prospects from the perspective of someone who has been 10 times on the show.
00:01:08.560 So many times people ask me, you know, do you get nervous before you go on Joe Rogan?
00:01:15.440 Because, you know, it's, I think it's the number one show in the world, millions and millions of viewers and listeners.
00:01:23.440 And I often will retort that actually what makes me most nervous about going on Joe Rogan,
00:01:29.460 the only thing that makes me nervous about going on Joe Rogan is whether I will need to go to the bathroom during the chats.
00:01:37.420 Because the chats are, as I said, all roughly around three hours long.
00:01:40.940 And what if you have the urge?
00:01:42.260 And I remember Joe telling me once, oh, if you ever have the urge, just get up and go to the bathroom,
00:01:48.300 which I luckily have never had to do.
00:01:53.060 But what I can tell you from having had many conversations with Joe is that it's completely unscripted.
00:02:01.900 So if you just go and look at our last conversation from a few, I think it was last May, you know, we were all over the place.
00:02:12.580 We were talking about, you know, the bower bird.
00:02:18.520 I was discussing how the bower bird builds a bower as a strategy to try to entice the female bower birds to choose it as a mate.
00:02:32.500 We talked about dolphin sex.
00:02:34.660 We discussed the Middle East crisis.
00:02:38.000 We were all over the place.
00:02:39.500 And so what makes for great conversations on Joe Rogan's podcast is that because it is unscripted, it's completely organic, right?
00:02:48.900 He doesn't, you know, I don't send him any topics that I'd like to discuss.
00:02:53.000 He doesn't tell me these are the things we're going to discuss.
00:02:55.500 He, you know, it's three, two, one, camera's on, and we're off and running.
00:02:59.860 Now, try to imagine someone like Donald Trump.
00:03:05.820 Now, he may not be able to talk about bower birds and dolphin sex and, you know, the Middle, well, maybe the Middle East crisis he certainly can talk about.
00:03:15.060 But, you know, he is a raconteur, as we say in French.
00:03:17.580 He's a storyteller.
00:03:20.280 He's someone who can converse on all sorts of topics.
00:03:26.740 And one of the things that I actually thought was really good that he did was when he had his ex-spaces with Elon Musk, you got to see a different side of Donald Trump.
00:03:41.480 And when he went on Greg Gutfeld, in that he, you know, he wasn't sucking up all of the air, all of the oxygen in the room.
00:03:50.840 Because the dynamics of a show like Greg Gutfeld is that, you know, it's a conversation.
00:03:58.600 And so I think Donald Trump, in my view, would do well on Joe Rogan's show.
00:04:06.860 On the other hand, Kamala, who's not the greatest conversationalist, who probably, you know, doesn't have enough things in her brains to be able to carry a conversation, never mind for three hours, for three minutes. 1.00
00:04:23.780 I would hope that Joe would, you know, ensure that it's not all scripted, right?
00:04:33.060 That you just get on and it's free flowing.
00:04:35.760 And I have a very, very hard time seeing how, in the context of the naturally organic, you know, flow of the conversation with Joe, how she'd be able to pull it off.
00:04:49.500 So my prediction would be that Donald Trump would do well on that platform.
00:04:58.960 Kamala Harris, not so much.
00:05:01.380 But let's see.
00:05:02.480 Maybe when it's completely natural, she's able to be a bit more authentic.
00:05:08.960 Who knows?
00:05:10.000 But I'm not holding out high hopes for that one.
00:05:14.380 So there you have it, folks.
00:05:15.800 Let's see what happens.
00:05:17.640 Make sure that you get out there and vote.
00:05:19.260 And also, most importantly, make sure that when you're making a decision that is as consequential as who's going to be the leader of the free world, you activate your cognitive system and not your affective system.
00:05:33.740 Take care, everybody.
00:05:34.520 Cheers.
