Speaker 2:

I haven't drank anything in three months. I feel great. Was it hard? No, it was super easy.

Speaker 1:

Whoa Rogan's still sober three months later. We've got two new clips here, both about a week apart, Literally brand new content that he's just published talking about his relationship with alcohol. Let's see what he's got to say.

Speaker 2:

I know people that have done opium that are functional. They can take pills I'm sure eventually their life falls off the rails but it's like sort of semi. They're semi-functional when they're on these things.

Speaker 3:

They can hold down a job and show up every day and they're just like semi-functional opiate there's a dude I watched like a youtube video but like he's known for having this contrarian opinion on drugs that you can like, control it like you can, you can do these drugs. What does he look like? I don't know. I think he's a black dude.

Speaker 2:

Oh, Carl Hart.

Speaker 3:

Dr Carl Hart, he was here. Yeah, he's been here a couple times. He's great. What do you think of his ideas?

Speaker 2:

I think it's entirely biologically variable. I know people that cannot drink. They drink and then they're gone. They get hamster eyes, get these black eyes where their soul goes away, and then they're just off to the races.

Speaker 1:

Okay, so I think he's saying that he's not one of these people.

Speaker 2:

Picking up hookers and doing cocaine, and they find themselves in Guatemala. Oh shit, they're just nuts. They can't drink.

Speaker 1:

I'm laughing, but in some fashion I guess I fit that category Me and alcohol. It ain't happening and I'm pretty sure that if I do drink again, that it ain't going to end up pretty. But he's got a point changing thousands of lives. So click the link below for instant access. Once you're on the next page, enter your name and email address and your free training will begin.

Speaker 2:

I can drink. I don't pretend that the way my body handles alcohol is the way everybody's body handles alcohol. I think that's the same with everything. I think that's the same most certainly with marijuana. I know some people that just cannot smoke marijuana.

Speaker 1:

And other people. It's fine. Okay, so we're actually learning a little bit more about rogan's relationship with alcohol. I wasn't aware of this, yeah I think it's very.

Speaker 3:

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:

If you look at this graph on the screen now, you can see how much gen Z is spending on alcohol compared to all the other generations, and they're spending a lot less Especially in Silicon Valley.

Speaker 3:

Everyone there listens to Huberman. All the parties are now like mocktails and things like that.

Speaker 2:

There are probably a lot of boring conversations, unfortunately.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, it's a little boring. I mean it's very repetitive. It's all kind of like will AI kill us?

Speaker 1:

Right, right, you guys would know better than anybody. That's very interesting. Obviously. Huberman made that video on alcohol, got millions of views and I know that a lot of people stopped drinking after watching that video. It is a very, very, very detailed and very good video yeah, I quit drinking.

Speaker 2:

I drink.

Speaker 3:

Quit drinking over three months ago oh wow, I know you guys did. You guys did uh used to do a sober October yeah.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, and that wasn't that hard and you know I was like, ah, it was going to be one whole month and then I did. I was like that's pretty easy, but I just had some revelations, I guess, and I think the big one is just a physical fitness. I work out so much and I would drink and go go to my club and have a couple not a lot either, just have a few drinks and the next day just feel like total shit I think with age especially, it starts affecting you.

Speaker 3:

It's always been like that, always it's always been like that.

Speaker 2:

I've always been hung over after a night of drinking, but it's. You don't feel it normally like in normal life. If I just did normal stuff it'd be fine. It's when you're in the gym that you notice. Right, when you're doing like second and third set of squats or something like that, you're like oh God.

Speaker 1:

Okay, so he's basically saying that he was functional, he was drinking, he could work, he could do whatever, but his fitness was taking the big hit. Yeah, a hundred percent.

Speaker 3:

And.

Speaker 2:

I haven't had any bad days since I quit drinking. I've eliminated all that and I'm like just that alone is worth it. Just that alone it's worth quitting.

Speaker 1:

This is awesome. Joe Rogan's got a tremendous amount of influence over a lot of people, but him saying this is great. Too many people are wishy-washy about their relationship with alcohol, but him stopping drinking. I'm almost sure that this will influence thousands, if not tens of thousands, of others to stop as well. And him saying that he's had no bad days after stopping drinking alcohol is just great.

Speaker 3:

Why do you think there's this trend? Is it mostly for health?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, Well, I think there's a big health trend with a lot of young people. I think a lot of young people are recognizing the value of supplements. I think a lot of people are very health conscious. That's the rise of cold plunging and sauna use and you know all these different things like intermittent fasting, where people are really paying attention to their body and really pay attention and noticing that if you do follow these steps, it really does make a significant difference in the way you feel and maybe more importantly, the way everything operates, not just your body but your brain. It's like your function, your cognitive function, improves with physical fitness and you know, if you're an ambitious person and you want to do well in life, you want your body to work well. Alcohol's not your friend. Now we're talking.

Speaker 1:

Now we're talking. He's damn right. If you want to live an optimal life, putting a poison in your body, it does nothing. It doesn't make anything better in any way. But in the next clip, which is about a week later it was only just released a few days ago this is where we'll learn more about Rogan's actual relationship with alcohol.

Speaker 2:

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 love the 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 you own a club and you're there a lot and you know you're having drinks with friends and they're like you want a drink. Just trying to get back to normal. Yes, I'm like why am I doing that? Well, in the three months of no drinking, I have not had one bad day. I have not had one day where I felt like shit and it just confirmed what I thought I was poisoning myself.

Speaker 1:

Oh man, what a beautiful choice of vocabulary there. Poisoning himself, Correct.

Speaker 2:

Poisoning myself with fun. I was having a good time. I was, you know, it wasn't terrible. I wasn't an alcoholic, I wasn't drinking and driving or anything stupid, but it was a couple of drinks a few nights a week. Maybe I'd go out with my wife on date night have a couple of glasses of wine. It was just at the end of the week. It's like you're drinking eight drinks and that's just not good. It's just not good for you, Okay.

Speaker 1:

So Joe Rogan was one of these normal drinkers, somebody that had their life together right, they didn't have a DUI, they weren't a ground zero but he is somebody who was a normal drinker. He's saying he'd just have two drinks and then that was it. When I used to drink alcohol, I used to look at people like him that would have one or two drinks a night and want to be like them. So one quick word of warning here is even if Joe Rogan is drinking a couple of drinks a few times a week and life didn't kind of crumble apart and it was only really affecting his fitness just hear what he's saying.

Speaker 1:

Stopping drinking hasn't been hard, it's been easy and he's had no bad days since it. Because the only thing that could happen here is some people might listen to that and go oh well, if Joe Rogan had things under control, maybe I can. And I want to remind you that there's no such thing as having just one drink when you drink alcohol. It's a chain reaction that never ends until you decide to stop drinking. So I think what Joe is saying is 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's talking about it openly, which I love to see, and let's hope he opens up more over the months ahead.
