The Joe Rogan Experience the people that uh I'm quitting when the special come out mom do you want a um cigar no no last time I did that [ __ ] it [ __ ] me up cigars [ __ ] you up how so it just made my [ __ ] all dry I mean this ain't healthy but I'm an addict definitely not health I'm just making excuses how often do you smoke them cigarettes yeah God damn I don't know probably you know it's it's it changes when I'm doing comedy or when I'm when I'm performing you perform you smoke more yeah interesting I smoke more when I'm at the comedy store and [ __ ] because everybody else is doing it it's social no no one else does it no one very few kind of [ __ ] like most people like you know it's just the era of the healthy comic ah those [ __ ] they're judging you judges goddamn judgey [ __ ] mom special comes out today I'm done that's it you're done I told her I told her when it comes out I'm done and what are you gonna do to replace it you're gonna do gum you're gonna do the the [ __ ] you put in your mouth she knows how I was hanging out with Shob at Schultz's wedding and he takes those little dip pouches shoves him his mouth he grabbed three of those [ __ ] and stuck them inside his cheek like a squirrel and I go what are you doing he goes I'm an addict because I'm a straight addict I can't do it man the [ __ ] so this so one time when I was a when I was deployed we we had our little this was my second appointment so by this time we had like more Comforts and [ __ ] and we had our little six a little 12 by six can or whatever but my can so there's and there's there's six Marines sleeping in one of these things fun but my can had we we had negotiated with the locals and we had a TV we had an Xbox and we had a little makeshift couch that we had built and like made comfortable so everybody would come in our room and like watch The Sopranos or play uh coming out Canon and all that [ __ ] and this one [ __ ] I can't remember his name anyway this son of a [ __ ] had this weird habit of leaving his dip bottles every [ __ ] way right oh no yeah and one day and you know one day I'm sitting
there I'm drinking my [ __ ] and I put it down by my feet and I reached back down and I grab it not looking ah mouth full of dip spit it took three people to pull me off that [ __ ] it wasn't fair to be mad at him for real people not paying attention but but I'm I can it's you know you have those events where you can't control yourself you relive them like every time I think about it I can taste it and I just I could never dip I could never dip and I I'm still mad about it I've dipped it yeah it um it definitely gives you a nice little head rush but not as good as cigarettes cigarettes give you the best head brush yeah it's like whoa but um I love a cigarette before I go on stage I don't know how I'm gonna replace that like right before I'm gonna try to use a jewel or something like that I don't know that doesn't work good enough no I think you just have to stop like you have to stop I started um I had this book called the easy way to stop smoking and everybody that I've got to read the book they've stopped and then but I've never finished it what does it tell you to do it's it's so the premise of it is basically like they instead of telling you the reasons you shouldn't smoke they attack the reasons why you say you smoke like all the reasons people give and they show you that they're just excuses that you're just as much of an addict as a crackhead or that doesn't help you I think what helps people is things like ibogaine ibogaine um mushroom trips things like that yeah but oh yeah I know a lot of people that uh my buddy that um actually he just left he moved down here actually um Mitch I can't remember Mitch's last name God damn it anyway he quit after a mushroom trip he was like he did shrooms and was like no I was just done yeah yeah well you start thinking about what you could be doing to your body you know what what could be happening inside of your body yeah so maybe maybe I just need a picture of a tumor you just hang over a health scare a little bit of Health well I've had enough of those that doesn't stop people
really no no cigarettes there's people that's people that's dying in the hospital now that's still sneaking out to smoke cigarettes yeah but that's just because they know they're dying I'd rather just take the cigarette now other than like die and not enjoy a cigarette because you're already dying so you need so you said the type of health care where they like look stop you stop now yeah you'll be okay but if you don't stop now yeah maybe one of those Something's Gonna like they're gonna show you your lungs or you see the Blackness like the tar and all the [ __ ] Decay have you seen like a smoker's lung when they pull it out and they they put it next to a healthy person's lung on an autopsy table yeah and it looks it's wild it's yeah go see if we can find a video they there or a photo there's they do autopsies of these people who die lung cancer and you know lifetime cigarette smokers and they're [ __ ] their their lungs they look like they're just covered look at that look at that [ __ ] lung look at the like lung jerky look at that one the the black lungs of a chain smoker the one the upper left click on that look at that that is insane man that's so insane that looks like someone oh my God look at that next to a regular lung that is so wild one lung is like uh orangey reddish pink and the other one is literally black and white like white tissue and black tissue [ __ ] wild man that is wild terrible as I God damn it smoke myself this is like that one up there that won the second down right below that look at that oh Jesus Christ look at they're all shriveled this is like showing me stool samples while I'm eating yeah but that's if I'm still hungry I'll still eat really you can just put power through it I was on Fear Factor it's not real this is a computer oh it's computer General oh okay oh but still pretty accurate probably accurate but the one next to it is real that's real damn what's wrong with that one down there the one that looks like like it has cheese on it which one's that the one in the middle what is that um good God it's [ __ ] up because like the thing that scares people the most is not being able to breathe
you know that's what's interesting it's like that feeling that you can't breathe is terrifying to people that's why drowning is so terrifying to people but they say that the last days of a person's life when they're dying of lung cancer is like drowning it's like you you can't breathe and you're you're gasping for air and it's like your lungs are filling up with fluid you can't get any Oxygen in there because all the sores are like popping ugh as you tap and take another hit you went through that cigarette quick too oh how many did you smoke a day oh it varies but a packet the most yeah it's a lot but it's a pack 16 how many is in there 20 20. it's actually perfectly formulated for you to smoke all day oh so if you start early and keep going it's it's like the the rate that like the nicotine gets out of your system yeah and it's supposed to be like every 40 minutes or something like that and so the sick you have just enough cigarettes to smoke all day long you know what's interesting like nicotine is actually a medicine nicotine itself um I think it's got heart applications see like nicotine for heart nicotine and so they use it to treat you nicotine by itself is not bad which sounds so crazy and it's also um a nootropic meaning like uh it stimulates cognitive function like nicotine does stimulate it's one thing Stephen King said in his book on writing is that quitting cigarettes was very hard for them because it's like his writing suffered a little bit it's harder for him to write oh dude because there's something about the cigarette that like it fires up the synapses it fires up the brain and then the writing would come smoother yeah I don't know I don't know because I've I've smoked all the time I've been doing comedy and writing so I mean that would be that would be like torture like if I couldn't if the ideas came to me less yeah I think that's what what he was saying but I think you can you could probably get around that with other stuff
