The Joe Rogan experience. Train by day Joe Rogan podcast by night all day. It's a very fun text you said on the other day and you said I hope we have something to talk about. Well you know the fact is the world's gotten kind of calm so I was hoping I looked out the window of the hotel this morning thinking the weather might help us no boring as can being. It's beautiful. Birds chirping. Well who knows what lies on the horizon. I did not watch the Super Bowl but I got a ton of messages from people that watched it. They're like what the fuck is going on. Like the Super Bowl was a gigantic propaganda campaign and there's Pfizer ads and weird woke commercials. It was bizarre. I did watch it you know. I had nothing else to do and I probably wouldn't have watched it otherwise but I did watch it and it was like some running inside joke. You had to know who these people were in order to even just be with the flow. I mean obviously the game is what it is but all of the stuff surrounding it was like you're either embedded in this culture or it's kind of a head scratcher. I did not see any of it so I wasn't watching the Super Bowl last night and it was busy so I don't know what happened. Well let's put it this way. Not a football aficionado by any stretch but it was a pretty exciting game. I mean it came down to the last seconds of overtime and it was a hell of a comeback. There are a ton of conspiracies about the way it was officiated and the fix was in with Travis Kelsey being sponsored by Pfizer and Taylor Swift and Taylor Swift's music catalog being owned by some mega corporation that has shady ties. Well I have to say I was watching it and you know I didn't have a dog in the fight. I wasn't really rooting for either team. I was just trying to get the sense of you know what the game was like but I did find myself in the end rooting against Taylor Swift. This is the Biden thing that they posted after his bedtime. It's like we drew it up and it's Biden with these you know red robot eyes. Why would they do that? Why would they make that like that just that alone like what are you saying like what are you doing like imagine that's the president of the United States. Just I want you to imagine Ronald Reagan if social media was alive posting a photograph like that or Bill Clinton. Well I mean I do know what they're doing right this is they they have a very weak meme game but they do have moments when they show some kind of spark in this regard and I detest it. I think they have an obligation to be above this stuff and to not troll but you know in a world where Trump is a political force they're trying to you know they're trying to build a game in the same arena and they're going to get crushed but but that's why they did it you know and obviously it's it's the machine that they did it. It's kind of amazing that the left can't meme because they're really bad at it because they're denying so many truths like in order to adhere to the ideology you have to be so rigid in what you accept as truth and there's so many things that just don't jive with that
