The Joe Rogan Experience

#2570 - Mystery Boys

Joe Rogan plays sceptic to two comedians' wildest theories, and the arguments show where he draws his own line between strange and implausible.

1. 01Kurt Metzger and Duncan Trussell, hosts of the Mystery Boys podcast, spend nearly three hours with Joe Rogan on aliens, AI, religion and propaganda.
2. 02Kurt Metzger argues grey aliens are humans deformed in secret programmes, building on the South African tokoloshe legend described by Credo Mutwa.
3. 03A 1977 US Army report read on air lists 160 biological warfare simulant tests at 66 US sites, among them subways in New York and San Francisco.
4. 04Joe Rogan rejects Metzger's theory, saying nobody in 1947 could have engineered three-foot pilots for craft that are flown by thought.

JRE MMA Show #187 with Robert Whittaker

Robert Whittaker is unusually candid about what years of weight cutting cost him and how he rebuilt his training to keep competing against bigger men.

1. 01Robert Whittaker, after 15 years in the UFC, spends nearly three hours with Joe Rogan on his move to light heavyweight and the state of MMA.
2. 02Robert Whittaker now drops his final 15 pounds lying in a warm bath for about 90 minutes instead of running in sweats or sitting in a sauna.
3. 03Robert Whittaker's last welterweight cut was 7.4 kilos on the morning of weigh-ins, from a walking weight of roughly 92 to 94 kilos.
4. 04Joe Rogan objects to the UFC letting winning fighters such as Farid Basharat and Michael Page go because their careful styles are judged dull.

#2569 - Bill Thompson

A veteran who builds hunting software and Joe Rogan trade practical methods for staying calm under pressure, then argue about where AI is taking work and culture.

1. 01Bill Thompson, a military intelligence veteran who runs the hunting app Spartan Forge, returns to Joe Rogan for a second three-hour conversation.
2. 02Spartan Forge's coming thermals feature combines terrain, canopy cover, temperature and wind speed to map how a hunter's scent moves across a mountainside.
3. 03Bill Thompson says a $100 three-card poker win, bet twice on underdog Justin Gaethje, grew to about $6,000 that paid for his upstairs flooring.
4. 04Joe Rogan says paid bot campaigns run by countries, agencies or companies make propaganda easier than ever, and argues they should be illegal.
