(dramatic music) - Joe Rogan falling down, check it out. - The Joe Rogan, experience. - Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night. All day. (dramatic music) - Ben, I can see Jim at last. So last time you were on, we barely scratched the surface of all the things that we wanted to talk about. So immediately we were like, we gotta do another one quick, because you wanna talk to him about the Sphinx. - The Sphinx, yes, yeah, we were on, we got into the, well, the labyrinth was kind of the big. - Labyrinth is nuts. I still haven't been able to get over it. The 40 meter metallic shaped thing that's in the ground. Like, what is that? - Well, I hope we'll find out. I mean, I don't know. It's the wheels do turn a little slowly, but the point of that was to try and drive some awareness. Maybe we'll get some sort of angel investor in there to go and look at it and solve the problem, do something. - Someone needs to talk to Elon. - Yeah, maybe. - I'm not the guy. (laughing) I talked to him too much as it is. He's too busy, but someone who can ignore problems. - Yeah, he's, he does. - Yeah, somewhat, or maybe Bezos would like to be the first guy to get in there. Someone has to get in there. You have to figure out what that thing is. That's crazy. - This might be one of the biggest mysteries in the entire human civilization record. - Yeah, who's the guy? - Who's the director that went to the bottom of the office? - Oh, Cameron. - Cameron. - I mean, he likes going places that nobody's gone before. They go to the hall and get there. Maybe he can develop to it. - Someone should do it. They just, I don't think enough people know. A lot of people know that we're listening to this podcast, but not enough people that would do something that can do something.
