I haven't drank anything in three months.
I feel great.
Was it hard?
No, it was super easy.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Whoa Rogan's still sober three months later.
We've got two new clips here,both about a week apart,
Literally brand new content thathe's just published talking
about his relationship withalcohol.
Let's see what he's got to say.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
I know people that have done opium that are
functional.
They can take pills I'm sureeventually their life falls off
the rails but it's like sort ofsemi.
They're semi-functional whenthey're on these things.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
They can hold down a job and show up every day and
they're just likesemi-functional opiate there's a
dude I watched like a youtubevideo but like he's known for
having this contrarian opinionon drugs that you can like,
control it like you can, you cando these drugs.
What does he look like?
I don't know.
I think he's a black dude.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Oh, Carl Hart.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Dr Carl Hart, he was here.
Yeah, he's been here a coupletimes.
He's great.
What do you think of his ideas?
Speaker 2 (01:22):
I think it's entirely biologically variable.
I know people that cannot drink.
They drink and then they'regone.
They get hamster eyes, getthese black eyes where their
soul goes away, and then they'rejust off to the races.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Okay, so I think he's saying that he's not one of
these people.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Picking up hookers and doing cocaine, and they find
themselves in Guatemala.
Oh shit, they're just nuts.
They can't drink.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
I'm laughing, but in some fashion I guess I fit that
category Me and alcohol.
It ain't happening and I'mpretty sure that if I do drink
again, that it ain't going toend up pretty.
But he's got a point changingthousands of lives.
(02:18):
So click the link below forinstant access.
Once you're on the next page,enter your name and email
address and your free trainingwill begin.
It takes just seven minutes towatch, but it'll feel like
somebody flicks a switch in yourbrain and honestly, I'm not
sure when I'll start chargingfor this seven minute video
training.
That's how good it is.
But whilst it's still available, click the link below, enter
(02:39):
your name and email address andwatch that video now.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
I can drink.
I don't pretend that the way mybody handles alcohol is the way
everybody's body handlesalcohol.
I think that's the same witheverything.
I think that's the same mostcertainly with marijuana.
I know some people that justcannot smoke marijuana.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
And other people.
It's fine.
Okay, so we're actuallylearning a little bit more about
rogan's relationship withalcohol.
I wasn't aware of this, yeah Ithink it's very.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
We're all very different physically it's
interesting uh, alcohol uh is um, is sort of on the downtrend
all of america but but uh,especially with young people
he's absolutely right here.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
If you look at this graph on the screen now, you can
see how much gen Z is spendingon alcohol compared to all the
other generations, and they'respending a lot less Especially
in Silicon Valley.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Everyone there listens to Huberman.
All the parties are now likemocktails and things like that.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
There are probably a lot of boring conversations,
unfortunately.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Yeah, it's a little boring.
I mean it's very repetitive.
It's all kind of like will AIkill us?
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Right, right, you guys would know better than
anybody.
That's very interesting.
Obviously.
Huberman made that video onalcohol, got millions of views
and I know that a lot of peoplestopped drinking after watching
that video.
It is a very, very, verydetailed and very good video
yeah, I quit drinking.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
I drink.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Quit drinking over three months ago oh wow, I know
you guys did.
You guys did uh used to do asober October yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Yeah, and that wasn't that hard and you know I was
like, ah, it was going to be onewhole month and then I did.
I was like that's pretty easy,but I just had some revelations,
I guess, and I think the bigone is just a physical fitness.
I work out so much and I woulddrink and go go to my club and
have a couple not a lot either,just have a few drinks and the
(04:23):
next day just feel like totalshit I think with age especially
, it starts affecting you.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
It's always been like that, always it's always been
like that.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
I've always been hung over after a night of drinking,
but it's.
You don't feel it normally likein normal life.
If I just did normal stuff it'dbe fine.
It's when you're in the gymthat you notice.
Right, when you're doing likesecond and third set of squats
or something like that, you'relike oh God.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Okay, so he's basically saying that he was
functional, he was drinking, hecould work, he could do whatever
, but his fitness was taking thebig hit.
Yeah, a hundred percent.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
And.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
I haven't had any bad days since I quit drinking.
I've eliminated all that andI'm like just that alone is
worth it.
Just that alone it's worthquitting.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
This is awesome.
Joe Rogan's got a tremendousamount of influence over a lot
of people, but him saying thisis great.
Too many people are wishy-washyabout their relationship with
alcohol, but him stoppingdrinking.
I'm almost sure that this willinfluence thousands, if not tens
of thousands, of others to stopas well.
And him saying that he's had nobad days after stopping
drinking alcohol is just great.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Why do you think there's this trend?
Is it mostly for health?
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Yeah, Well, I think there's a big health trend with
a lot of young people.
I think a lot of young peopleare recognizing the value of
supplements.
I think a lot of people arevery health conscious.
That's the rise of coldplunging and sauna use and you
know all these different thingslike intermittent fasting, where
people are really payingattention to their body and
really pay attention andnoticing that if you do follow
(05:52):
these steps, it really does makea significant difference in the
way you feel and maybe moreimportantly, the way everything
operates, not just your body butyour brain.
It's like your function, yourcognitive function, improves
with physical fitness and youknow, if you're an ambitious
person and you want to do wellin life, you want your body to
work well.
Alcohol's not your friend.
(06:12):
Now we're talking.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Now we're talking.
He's damn right.
If you want to live an optimallife, putting a poison in your
body, it does nothing.
It doesn't make anything betterin any way.
But in the next clip, which isabout a week later it was only
just released a few days agothis is where we'll learn more
about Rogan's actualrelationship with alcohol.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Now this stuff is good, I haven't drank anything
in three months.
I feel great.
Was it hard?
No, it was super easy.
It was really easy.
You were ready?
Yeah, I was like I just I lovethe uh, the guy interjecting oh,
you're ready.
I'm not sure why he said that,but there was too many days
where it's kind of hard when youown a club and you're there a
lot and you know you're havingdrinks with friends and they're
(06:59):
like you want a drink.
Just trying to get back tonormal.
Yes, I'm like why am I doingthat?
Well, in the three months of nodrinking, I have not had one
bad day.
I have not had one day where Ifelt like shit and it just
confirmed what I thought I waspoisoning myself.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Oh man, what a beautiful choice of vocabulary
there.
Poisoning himself, Correct.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Poisoning myself with fun.
I was having a good time.
I was, you know, it wasn'tterrible.
I wasn't an alcoholic, I wasn'tdrinking and driving or
anything stupid, but it was acouple of drinks a few nights a
week.
Maybe I'd go out with my wifeon date night have a couple of
glasses of wine.
It was just at the end of theweek.
It's like you're drinking eightdrinks and that's just not good
(07:41):
.
It's just not good for you,Okay.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
So Joe Rogan was one of these normal drinkers,
somebody that had their lifetogether right, they didn't have
a DUI, they weren't a groundzero but he is somebody who was
a normal drinker.
He's saying he'd just have twodrinks and then that was it.
When I used to drink alcohol, Iused to look at people like him
that would have one or twodrinks a night and want to be
like them.
So one quick word of warninghere is even if Joe Rogan is
(08:05):
drinking a couple of drinks afew times a week and life didn't
kind of crumble apart and itwas only really affecting his
fitness just hear what he'ssaying.
Stopping drinking hasn't beenhard, it's been easy and he's
had no bad days since it.
Because the only thing thatcould happen here is some people
might listen to that and go ohwell, if Joe Rogan had things
under control, maybe I can.
And I want to remind you thatthere's no such thing as having
(08:25):
just one drink when you drinkalcohol.
It's a chain reaction thatnever ends until you decide to
stop drinking.
So I think what Joe is sayingis that drinking alcohol didn't
cause huge problems in his life,but it was really stopping from
living this optimal life.
But he's still going.
He's three months and he'stalking about it openly, which I
love to see, and let's hope heopens up more over the months
ahead.
