Joe Rogan Experience #2202 - Tom Segura
The guest

Tom Segura — Stand-up comedian, podcaster (Your Mom's House, Two Bears One Cave), and author shooting a new comedic dark-anthology series for Netflix in Austin.

The gist

Tom Segura joins Joe Rogan for a wide-ranging conversation that opens on the dangers of arm wrestling and the power of delusion before diving into the 2024 election debate, immigration, and political manipulation. They spend long stretches on the dark side of the internet, war footage and suicide drones, supercars and Porsche restomods, and the corruption risk in connected technology. The back half turns personal and practical: nutrition, creatine for cognition, Vyvanse, gut health, food-system problems like glyphosate and seed oils, grilling gear, and stretching for back pain. Tom closes by detailing his new Netflix anthology show being produced entirely in Austin.

Big reveals

  • Tom describes Canada's medically assisted death program as the fastest-growing in the world, citing 13,241 deaths in 2022.
  • They cite a claim that Harris told the ACLU in 2019 she supports gender transition surgery for detained migrants.
  • OnStar satellite technology was used to remotely disable a stolen vehicle and end a high-speed chase.
  • Joe recounts Robert Epstein explaining how Google can shift votes by selectively surfacing positive or negative results.
  • Tom reveals taking Vyvanse for the first time massively boosted his energy on poor sleep, suspecting he has ADHD.
  • Duncan Trussell discovered his blood sugar was spiking from sugar in vape liquid, contributing to type 2 diabetes.
  • Tom reveals his new project is a comedic, dark Black-Mirror-style anthology series greenlit by Netflix, shooting in Austin.

Things worth remembering

  • Some believe Kamala Harris wore Nova-style earring earpieces during the debate that could relay coaching.
  • Instagram's filters can be bypassed by mislabeling violent videos with car-ad captions the algorithm doesn't scan.
  • The fastest recorded MLB pitch is 105.8 mph, with no one cracking 106.
  • Creatine increases water retention in muscle and may improve cognitive performance during sleep deprivation.
  • A single high dose of creatine can temporarily improve cognitive performance during sleep deprivation by preventing a pH drop.
  • Dr. Drew told Joe that cocaine users run from cops while meth users run toward them, seeking confrontation.
  • During the WWII Blitz campaign, the German army was given methamphetamine, with the most going to front-line tank crews.
  • Many people test positive for glyphosate in their blood, and American Froot Loops are banned in Canada over dyes.
  • Stretching tight hamstrings relieves lower-back tightness because the glutes-into-hamstrings line pulls on the lower back.
  • World Central Kitchen workers, who feed people in disaster and war zones, were killed in an apparent targeted strike in Israel.
