that should tell you cynics that alphabrain might actually work for joe rogan and the definitely not superstitious world of professional poker

As someone who listens to a lot of Rogan, and has taken Alpha Brain, AND has played a lot of poker, let me tell you. Yeah a ton of fools believe in that poo poo. The only thing it gave me was crazy dreams :(

I am perfectly willing to believe Alpha Brain works but in a way similar to how Laudanum and all those patent medicines worked in the 19th century. So, in 100 years they'll be saying You took what?! And it was legal? after a whole bunch of people go blind or crazy after taking it for 10 years.

Upcoming podcast with Bryan Callen about their time hunting in Montana. I can't wait! Callen is hilarious and his podcast, Man Thoughts, is pretty good. #powerfulbryancallen #jaguars

In the Callen ep (281) did Joe really try to advocate Alpha Brain instead of antidepressants there for a moment?

I can't tell if I love or hate Brian Callen. Sometimes he gives off the strangest vibe and creeps me out but he seems like a good dude the other 99% of the time and he is funny enough to enjoy listening to for three hours.

This. Also, every person of note he's ever had any form of contact with is a good friend of his. If you haven't noticed him saying that, you will now.

I'm glad he was present for the Duesberg (Aids Guy) episode though, as he read up on his poo poo and spat it out by rote, giving Aids Guy a springboard. Pink monkey Joe wouldn't have cemented the cracks so nicely by himself and it'd have either got awkward with "powerful Peter Duesberg" to break the pauses, or devolved into nazi humour sooner than it did.

I like Callen less the more he's on the podcast. Oh, and by the way, I enjoyed Callen more on Joe's older podcasts when he was telling stories about orgies, making out with ladyboys, getting blowjobs in bars, etc. The podcast he did with Jimmy Burke was entertaining.

Callen's podcast with Jay Mohr (on Callen's podcast Man Thoughts) was worth listening to.

I think those are Callen's greatest hits though. Similar to Bert Kreischer fantastic earlier appearances.

When Ari interviewed Bert for his podcast it was just two dudes chilling in Bert's Man Cave. Sort of low key and not very engaging.

I think he's about as smart/informed as Joe except Joe views himself as ignorant where Callen thinks he's got it all figured out, which is why hes less likable.

Callen's dad is the guy who was in the CIA that didn't tell his family until he was retired right? Joe has mentioned a couple times before he has a friend who's dad was in banking but turns out he was in the CIA.

That would make sense because as far as I can remember Callen spent a good amount of his childhood in the middle east (Lebanon I think).

Listening to the Ice House shows without Joe is sometimes a nice change. The interplay between Brody Stevens and Don Barris is hilarious, with Don acting like he is trying to build Brody up and give him advice and then slipping in some backhanded compliments and having Brody react to him. I'm sure its funny because there is some truth to their act.

This is why I have to play the shows on ustream of vimeo. Every episode they'll have at least one instance of them talking about or reacting to an image or video that they'll be showing on the live show.

I wonder how proops and rogan will be. How will the social dynamics work? Even though proops is a million times smarter I bet he will let Joe intellectually alpha him a few times.

My buddy and I split a bottle of AB about a year ago, it made me unbelievably sick to my stomach to the point where I thought I was going to faint. If this is what being smart feels like I'd prefer to stay stupid.

I haven't tried alpha brain, but I did try some other nootropics for a couple of months while preparing for a philosophy exam. It could very well be placebo and I have no way of ruling that out, but after a few days I felt like it actually had some sort of effect, and it seemed able to retain stuff I'd read, quicker.
I'm a pretty bad student, and I'm usually terrible at remembering anything, but these BRAIN PILLS seemed to help. Your experience may differ.

This happened to me too when I was taking 3 at a time. When I dropped down to 2 I was less sick.

Anyone else catch Joe Rogan on Dave's Old Porn?

I've only watched one or two episodes when I know the comedian guest. Bill Burr's was okay. Joe's wasn't all that great. I did like it when he went into UFC commentator mode when Ginger Lynn was scissoring some other girl. First time I've heard the 50/50 guard mentioned outside of a BJJ school.

Joe's was better than most I've seen, he actually knew a bit about porn and is used to just talking/joking about nothing. Some of the guests really don't know what to say. Jim Norton was probably the best guest I've seen on there.
