Everytime I see a Duncan episode, it makes me so happy. When they dress up in costumes, it reminds me of two little kids in a tree house trying to tell each other crazy, unbelievable shit to blow their minds.

Western propaganda when African leaders chose to take their business to china now poor westerners such yourself fall for that propaganda they are tired of getting played by western leaders since civilization began go ask their leaders why look it up and find out why this is coming out of your mouth not Africans
Yeah this made me LMAO as well! Like, that's how God tier Jamie is at what he does, Joe just assumes Jamie will find the specific story Joe is referencing by using the vaguest of terminology
Chocolate is a longer process than 4 days. I moved to the Caribbean during the pandemic and started picking and processing the cocao from my grandparents land. Fermentation, roasting, Parching etc… fermentation alone is min 3 days. Look into cocao ceremony it’s a deeply spiritual bean and there is a ‘high’ that you get from the bean that is stripped in processing of store bought chocolate because of use of chemicals. It also strips all the good nutrients. It’s actually an incredible bean… which is why it’s so heavily regulated 😢
@@TheAnnoyingBoss it has very little. It's probably like a decaffeinated coffee or less. Theobromine and Tryptophan are the ingredients that make you feel high.
I used to work with cacao producers in Ecuador. They were 1000s of small farmers screathing together a living but there was not slave Labour involved there. Sometimes some kids were involved but that is the old system of education. Kids would go out with their fathers and learn how the farm works. Vital knowledge if they want to keep it as independent families. In Latin America life for poor people is tough, it really has nothing to do with chocolate. They sell eggs, fruit and other products they produce too.
My father still has not been on the Internet yet doesn’t own a cell phone uses a home phone like it’s the late 90s early 2000s and he seems so much more happier than everyone else
Well, yes, we all know that ignorance is bliss, but at the end of the day, it's still ignorance. I would rather be informed of what's going on,than stick my head in the sand and pretend everything is just fine.
bruh i need friends like joe and duncan!!!!!!!!! every conversation they have are perfectly aligned with the stuff im into !!!!! i need these type of conversations outside of the internet!!!!! lmao

This is how every JRE episode with Duncan should be shot. Moody lighting, Joe wearing his Sith Robes and thick smoke in the air... It's just perfect. Jamie, find out about chocolate..

I get by just fine without a smart phone. Hell, I went a whole month without any phone at all and it was absolutely glorious. I’d be at the store and hear other people’s phones ringing near me and just the sound of it would stress me out. Then I’d realize it wasn’t mine and feel tremendous relief. People were so much cooler and it was easier to connect with them before all these devices.

I went to an cacao farm, owned & ran by an indigenous tribe in Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica (Caribbean side). They did tours and allowed us to make our own chocolate. This should be a protected industry.
I went to Hershey, PA (seasonal side) and got to walk around a fake factory, exiting through the gift shop and got a free small "chocolate" bar. This should be boycotted by all!
Protected by you personally? who would you choose to protect it? How should they do this? Why and to what ends? How do you keep them accountable? How do you keep them from becoming the new exploiter? How do you pay the protector? they need a wage to live. will you take a cut from the workers? or simply tell them to work harder for the same amount of pay to compensate?
There is an excellent documentary called the dark side of chocolate, which speaks in depth about this topic. In these slavery cases, there are large associated companies such as Nestle and Hershey, which have received multiple lawsuits.
The blame is on a few levels, though. The parents often sell or lend (in exchange for someone else accepting the burden of feeding and housing ) the kid. The orchard/plantation owners and managers (often black Africans) are partly to blame. I'd guess the middlemen who help broker deals between the orchard owners and Nestle and Hershey and other resellers are to blame. And, you and I are to blame (consumers) for helping to finance it. If chocolate is publicly traded or a commodity, then that industry is also to blame - including investors.
I will have to look this up too, to read about how chocolate is manufactured and made. Thank you for bringing this up because if this is true, the employees need to be protected. The chocolate industry is not the only business where people suffer, and it is ignored. Again, thank you for bringing this up to remind those in our society, of what really transpires.
Don't just look up chocolate. Look at Nestle. They have a massive chocolate industry and water industry. Basically, if you switch off Nestle products, you're good to go
You already wear clothes and shoes made by sweat shops and you use your phone on a daily basis made by chinese slave. You watch porn? Thats connected to sex trafficking. List goes on.
What I learned 15 years ago in high school was if everyone in the chain of making chocolate, got paid correctly. 1 single bar of chocolate would costs about $20. It's cheap because of child & slave labor.
I first got a chocolate wake up call when I moved to Hawaii and bought a $20 bar of chocolate from a small chocolate farm/factory in Kilauea. They charge that not only due to their operation costs but also because they are paying their employees a US wage. Slave labor on cacao farms overseas keeps costs down while the corporate owners make bank.
idk about Joe’s point, when I walk by any store at all I do always think “oh yeah, child labor” Doesn’t matter if it’s a “chocolate store” 😂 or anything else
Here in Ghana (West Africa), I wouldn't describe the cocoa industry/farming/production as using slave or near slave labor, nor abusive child labor. Yes, children do help/work with their parents on farms. As a culture, children are tought and expected to help/work in some form everyday, be it at the house or on the family farm. As far as slave labor. The Ghananian Cocoa Board does a decent job of organizing and regulating the industry. With that being said. Like many people all around the world, the farmers get a very low rate for their crop. The government hasnt done a great job of building roads in those areas and transport of goods or the struggle to transport, further hurts the cocoa farmers. The farmers get by year to year (harvest to harvest), but, they are not thriving, no matter how hard they work.
It depends what you consider a slave... Obviously they arent slaves in terms of freedom but they are economic slaves. Not paying them proper or at least decent money for their work is sickening.
Just went to Ghana for the first time last year for a research trip in November and that was one of the most intriguing aspects. Western views of child slavery in west Africa are wildly different than reality. Kids who did work on the farms had set roles (not clearing or major manual labour) and only did so outside of school. Though you bring up the interesting aspect of the cocobod. While necessary (small time Ghanaian chocolate farmers could not possibly sell on the open market at a fair price) it seemed that the cocobod took an unfair split of cocoa revenue and the excess money was mainly spent In the big cities (like Accra). Seems like a multifaceted problem but I think the core issue around chocolate is not the child slavery but rather the low prices and low pay of Ghanaian chocolate. Ghana is a beautiful country I certainly intend on going again
"Ethically sourced" does not mean ethically produced. It just means that they ethically chose the location, not that the location is ethical. It's basically nonsense.
Please keep talking about this topic of Slavery, Child Labour + Cobalt Mining. So important that everyone knows and understands. Thank you, best podcaster!! 🙏🏽 🙏🏽
I just graduated with a degree in finance, one of the classes I had to take to graduate was a business ethics class, we spent about a month working on a project regarding the chocolate industry and we reached out to all the companies to try to get statements on it, crazy this type of shit happens and no one talks about it, none of the companies ever replied lol
Yep! Me too. Poor uneducated ppl and children are exploited to the extreme and what’s really sad is that that life is normal to them when it shouldn’t be.
Just the combination of the randomness of the subject material and how ridiculously stoned Joe is in that first line, has me cracking up! He is the epitome of that stoner friend, that everyone has in their friend circle, that brings up weird subjects out of the blue. Duncan just rolls with it though because he is just as high and strange as Joe. A normal person would have just said "What?!"
Great, I wanted to take a break from smoking and then he has to have Duncan on. Now I HAVE to smoke and watch the whole thing tonight. Thanks a lot, Joe...
I realized how addicted I was to my smart phone years ago. I started by getting rid of social media apps first. That took about two months to get over, now I never look at it. I deleted my email and games. I'm almost to the point where I can do away with a art phone because it doesn't offer an increased benefit for the cost. I intentionally leave my phone at home 1-2 days a week and venture out without it. Strange thing, I haven't died yet or become hopelessly lost!
The best thing we could do about the cobalt issue is not upgrading your phone every year or even every 2 years. The technology in the phone you already have can easily last you for 5 years. We need the majority to get over the need to have the newest stuff.
I use my phone until it just will no longer work. Yr 4 on the one I have and got almost 6 out of the previous. Hate the one I have now, too smart and I dont need or want all the crap. Looking for other options, dont need the ability to be connected every min of every day. Only goes with me when I need to travel far. I hope the whole system malfunctions globally, as a child of the 60s/70s life was better then.
Everything in moderation my friend. What's the point in living until 100 if you're completely miserable? Eat completely healthy, exercise all the time, no vices, and then get hit by a bus while you're jogging.
@@sociopathmercenary 😂 Why would you assume that somebody Healthy is going to get hit by a bus? And why is going without sugar makes somebody less happy? Seems you’re addicted to food. Satisfying your taste buds does not equal a happy life. Sugar and high carbs in moderation is still poison. Even the sugar in fruit is harmful to those with diabetes but most don’t know it. Most just follow their eating habits as to what they grew up AND western medical doctors and tell them it’s OK so the pharmaceutical company can stay in business. Look up what sugar does to our bodies, I dare you.
this might be one of the funniest moments in jre history 0:12 the vague thing to look up and then the instant dismiss of what he found as if hes an idiot for selecting that. idk why but that just got me
I know when he said find out about chocolate I just pictured Jamie just sitting there racking his brain like fuck I mean cuz u be a lil more specific im sure I can find out tons of shit about chocolate
Joe. It's great that you're bringing light to this because of who you are. I think U should try to do a (20 Seconds) lol mention of it on all UR episodes to to remind folks what's goin on. Just a name drop. U have the platform that has the support, & viewers loyal to word of mouth cause good rift
1$ per day in a country where you can buy a home for 200$ like dude these guys need a reality check on how money really works n how different economys are.... honestly at times joe is a little ummm blah since everythying is censored now adays but yes he is BLAH just like BLAH BLAH BLAH is all he does
@@BushMaster420circle yeah it's just like the cobalt miners, if they didnt do that they would get $0/day... The thing is that we can extract cobalt in Canada (and probably elsewhere, it's just where I live) and it would be modern, safer, cleaner mining, and the workers would get paid well, but that's the problem, the price would sky rocket, and these poor people would be out of a job
@@AH-lw2bj it's about working conditions . Its basic right of every fuckin person and these big companies should be providing proper equipments to mine cobalt . It's fuckin common sense man .
The question I always have about this and the cobalt mining is, should we stop using it so that we can feel better that they aren't working terrible conditions? Or is it that those jobs are the only way to provide for their family and if they stopped they wouldn't be able to eat? Which is worse?
The first thing is definitely worse. The cobalt mining has desolated these areas and if there wasn't unfathomable amounts of international money sustaining that havoc, they could just farm their own food. The cobalt mines turn what would otherwise be a normal rural village into a hellscape where the only reason these people *have to work in the mines to survive* is because a corporation willed it to be so. Of course, the option that is way more obvious than 'let humans suffer in lives of slavery for our iPhones and candy bars' or 'stop using all computer technology and boycott chocolate' The much more obvious solution that will definitely not happen would be to just use the trillions of dollars behind these industries to offer basic humanity to the people who we are completely dependent on for our first world lifestyle. Trading their suffering for our happiness is not the only option and we can't just keep letting these evil companies tell us that it is.
@@N8Dulcimer so your option truly are: You could demand these evil companies to double the price of the phone you have in your hand and send that money to the people mining the materials you want so they have a better life. Or, you could just send the money yourself. If neither, then who is the evil one? Pointing the blame on companies rather than the individual supporting the exploitation of others is where we should first look.
Pretty sure apple would survive if they profited less from their products from paying more for cobalt from mines with decent working conditions and pay when their profits are in the 160 billion region.
@@scotschmidt6683 Americans are so cooked they cannot possibly fathom the idea that the corporation could just charge the same price they already do, and make a little less money. So cooked they think it should be the job of the every day citizen to personally fix the lives being destroyed by a multinational corporation. I have an ethical phone, and it STILL cost me less money than an Iphone, but I should still use my money to fix the lives that apple ruins? Your corporate overlords have you on a pretty short leash tbh....

Chocolate is a longer process than 4 days. I moved to the Caribbean during the pandemic and started picking and processing the cocao from my grandparents land.

CHOCOLATE!!! - guy from SpongeBob
What I learned 15 years ago in high school was if everyone in the chain of making chocolate, got paid correctly. 1 single bar of chocolate would costs about $20.
It's cheap because of child & slave labor.
So what.
I call Bull… companies would make many millions instead of billions…
Fuck it is like $5 for a king size now, we are almost there.
I first got a chocolate wake up call when I moved to Hawaii and bought a $20 bar of chocolate from a small chocolate farm/factory in Kilauea. They charge that not only due to their operation costs but also because they are paying their employees a US wage. Slave labor on cacao farms overseas keeps costs down while the corporate owners make bank.

They would go out of business real fast
watching this on my phone eating a chocolate bar .... 😂
with the candles too
“You just don’t think that when eating a KitKat” Duncan
Lol funniest line
idk about Joe’s point, when I walk by any store at all I do always think “oh yeah, child labor”
Doesn’t matter if it’s a “chocolate store” 😂 or anything else
Here in Ghana (West Africa), I wouldn't describe the cocoa industry/farming/production as using slave or near slave labor, nor abusive child labor. Yes, children do help/work with their parents on farms. As a culture, children are tought and expected to help/work in some form everyday, be it at the house or on the family farm. As far as slave labor. The Ghananian Cocoa Board does a decent job of organizing and regulating the industry. With that being said. Like many people all around the world, the farmers get a very low rate for their crop. The government hasnt done a great job of building roads in those areas and transport of goods or the struggle to transport, further hurts the cocoa farmers. The farmers get by year to year (harvest to harvest), but, they are not thriving, no matter how hard they work.
$1 per day and having the whole family including kids, and barely scrapping by
It depends what you consider a slave... Obviously they arent slaves in terms of freedom but they are economic slaves. Not paying them proper or at least decent money for their work is sickening.

Just went to Ghana for the first time last year for a research trip in November and that was one of the most intriguing aspects. Western views of child slavery in west Africa are wildly different than reality. Kids who did work on the farms had set roles (not clearing or major manual labour) and only did so outside of school. Though you bring up the interesting aspect of the cocobod. While necessary (small time Ghanaian chocolate farmers could not possibly sell on the open market at a fair price) it seemed that the cocobod took an unfair split of cocoa revenue and the excess money was mainly spent In the big cities (like Accra). Seems like a multifaceted problem but I think the core issue around chocolate is not the child slavery but rather the low prices and low pay of Ghanaian chocolate. Ghana is a beautiful country I certainly intend on going again
Wow already 2 people that know everything on this subject.
This show is just incredible
Free trade chocolate....coming to a hipster town near you
Thank you for shedding light on the horrible issues with cobalt mines!
"Ethically sourced" does not mean ethically produced. It just means that they ethically chose the location, not that the location is ethical. It's basically nonsense.
Please keep talking about this topic of Slavery, Child Labour + Cobalt Mining.
So important that everyone knows and understands.
Thank you, best podcaster!! 🙏🏽 🙏🏽

"We got Bohemian grove at home" B.grove at home:
Tanks joe ❤
Having a shitty past few days and while out on deliveries I see this come on my feed. Thank you so much you guys fucking rock together
Duncan trussell appearances are the best jre episodes
I just graduated with a degree in finance, one of the classes I had to take to graduate was a business ethics class, we spent about a month working on a project regarding the chocolate industry and we reached out to all the companies to try to get statements on it, crazy this type of shit happens and no one talks about it, none of the companies ever replied lol
Nobody even really gives a fuck either. It's accepted throughout society
@@boofert.washington2499 yep pretty much just summed up college right there
@@boofert.washington2499 they got experience doing it, you're just demonstrating your own ignorance while being a TH-cam comment hate addict.
Yep! Me too. Poor uneducated ppl and children are exploited to the extreme and what’s really sad is that that life is normal to them when it shouldn’t be.
Yeah man, an email response from a company was TOTALLY the point of the entire class
I want to watch the whole podcast 😭
Just the combination of the randomness of the subject material and how ridiculously stoned Joe is in that first line, has me cracking up! He is the epitome of that stoner friend, that everyone has in their friend circle, that brings up weird subjects out of the blue. Duncan just rolls with it though because he is just as high and strange as Joe. A normal person would have just said "What?!"
Normal people? Or lazy conformists?
Jaime needs to launch an AI search engine app
Call it "Pull that up"
@@Marthyboy88 great name.
Perfect!
Young Jamie can't be replicated!
Jamie find out about chocolate.
Jamie - connects to the internet and absorbs all chocolate knowledge since the beginning of time into his body.
Duncan Trussell has one of my all time favorite laughs
I now regret the double chocolate cake covered in chocolate ganache that I just shoved down my gullet.
Great, I wanted to take a break from smoking and then he has to have Duncan on. Now I HAVE to smoke and watch the whole thing tonight.
Thanks a lot, Joe...
😃 Just 2 days ago I was thinking….man we’re due for a Duncan Trussell appearance. lol
Love it when these two get together!!
This needs to become a mainstream issue.
Duncan and joe are the best podcasts
Damn, Joe has done reached Grand Wizzard level.
I realized how addicted I was to my smart phone years ago. I started by getting rid of social media apps first. That took about two months to get over, now I never look at it. I deleted my email and games. I'm almost to the point where I can do away with a art phone because it doesn't offer an increased benefit for the cost.
I intentionally leave my phone at home 1-2 days a week and venture out without it. Strange thing, I haven't died yet or become hopelessly lost!
Owning a full Linux phone might be a more interesting life for me then... The lack of creature comforts might help me use it less.
The best thing we could do about the cobalt issue is not upgrading your phone every year or even every 2 years. The technology in the phone you already have can easily last you for 5 years. We need the majority to get over the need to have the newest stuff.
I use my phone until it just will no longer work. Yr 4 on the one I have and got almost 6 out of the previous. Hate the one I have now, too smart and I dont need or want all the crap. Looking for other options, dont need the ability to be connected every min of every day. Only goes with me when I need to travel far. I hope the whole system malfunctions globally, as a child of the 60s/70s life was better then.
I like how Duncan quoted carrine jean Pierre dropping that top of mind line
“Coca” plants lol.
Mr. Rogan... You are A Legend... thank you for all you do and bring to us.
Digging holes is the easy part, I imagine the chemicals they use are pretty gnarley... and the harvesting process
I saw the thumbnail and KNEW this was a Duncan episode lmao
“ Jamie find out about chocolate “
I completely cut out sugar and processed foods. Not because of this but for health and longevity
Everything in moderation my friend.
What's the point in living until 100 if you're completely miserable?
Eat completely healthy, exercise all the time, no vices, and then get hit by a bus while you're jogging.
How hard was that? And what is considered processed? I’m new to giving a shit about what I eat.
@@sociopathmercenary Lol people who dont eat sweets and high dopamine/ low nutrient foods are infinitely happier. Sugar is poison
@@sociopathmercenary 😂 Why would you assume that somebody Healthy is going to get hit by a bus? And why is going without sugar makes somebody less happy? Seems you’re addicted to food. Satisfying your taste buds does not equal a happy life.
Sugar and high carbs in moderation is still poison. Even the sugar in fruit is harmful to those with diabetes but most don’t know it. Most just follow their eating habits as to what they grew up AND western medical doctors and tell them it’s OK so the pharmaceutical company can stay in business. Look up what sugar does to our bodies, I dare you.
Nice conversation
1:22 already I know I need to watch this whole episode. Now back to the show.
this might be one of the funniest moments in jre history 0:12 the vague thing to look up and then the instant dismiss of what he found as if hes an idiot for selecting that. idk why but that just got me
I know when he said find out about chocolate I just pictured Jamie just sitting there racking his brain like fuck I mean cuz u be a lil more specific im sure I can find out tons of shit about chocolate
This is what we've been waiting for
What Duncan said about procrastination describes my exact situation. I hate it so much.
Duncan and Joe are magic.
“Jamie find out about chocolate” 😂😂😂
Joe. It's great that you're bringing light to this because of who you are.
I think U should try to do a (20 Seconds) lol mention of it on all UR episodes to to remind folks what's goin on. Just a name drop. U have the platform that has the support, & viewers loyal to word of mouth cause good rift
Okay bot
1$ per day in a country where you can buy a home for 200$ like dude these guys need a reality check on how money really works n how different economys are.... honestly at times joe is a little ummm blah since everythying is censored now adays but yes he is BLAH just like BLAH BLAH BLAH is all he does
@@BushMaster420circle yeah it's just like the cobalt miners, if they didnt do that they would get $0/day...
The thing is that we can extract cobalt in Canada (and probably elsewhere, it's just where I live) and it would be modern, safer, cleaner mining, and the workers would get paid well, but that's the problem, the price would sky rocket, and these poor people would be out of a job
Here is the full video that says it all:,,
th-cam.com/video/rYbc5jCuz60/w-d-xo.html
@@AH-lw2bj it's about working conditions . Its basic right of every fuckin person and these big companies should be providing proper equipments to mine cobalt . It's fuckin common sense man .
I'm ripped and when he said, "Jamie, find out about chocolate." I lost it... hahaha.
The question I always have about this and the cobalt mining is, should we stop using it so that we can feel better that they aren't working terrible conditions? Or is it that those jobs are the only way to provide for their family and if they stopped they wouldn't be able to eat? Which is worse?
The first thing is definitely worse. The cobalt mining has desolated these areas and if there wasn't unfathomable amounts of international money sustaining that havoc, they could just farm their own food. The cobalt mines turn what would otherwise be a normal rural village into a hellscape where the only reason these people *have to work in the mines to survive* is because a corporation willed it to be so. Of course, the option that is way more obvious than 'let humans suffer in lives of slavery for our iPhones and candy bars' or 'stop using all computer technology and boycott chocolate' The much more obvious solution that will definitely not happen would be to just use the trillions of dollars behind these industries to offer basic humanity to the people who we are completely dependent on for our first world lifestyle. Trading their suffering for our happiness is not the only option and we can't just keep letting these evil companies tell us that it is.
It's a touchy touchy subject for sure.
@@N8Dulcimer so your option truly are:
You could demand these evil companies to double the price of the phone you have in your hand and send that money to the people mining the materials you want so they have a better life. Or, you could just send the money yourself. If neither, then who is the evil one? Pointing the blame on companies rather than the individual supporting the exploitation of others is where we should first look.
Pretty sure apple would survive if they profited less from their products from paying more for cobalt from mines with decent working conditions and pay when their profits are in the 160 billion region.
@@scotschmidt6683 Americans are so cooked they cannot possibly fathom the idea that the corporation could just charge the same price they already do, and make a little less money. So cooked they think it should be the job of the every day citizen to personally fix the lives being destroyed by a multinational corporation. I have an ethical phone, and it STILL cost me less money than an Iphone, but I should still use my money to fix the lives that apple ruins? Your corporate overlords have you on a pretty short leash tbh....
