As a person with chronic insomnia, Joe's words are such an insult. Being in the field of nutrition and supplements for over a decade, and having background in pharmacology and biochemistry - i have a list of over 40 meds (not even supplements) that I have showed to top psychiatrists who were of no help.. Oh well
I too struggled with insomnia but also seen objects move on their own without reasonable explanation (when I wasn’t sleep deprived at all). So he may be right.
Very empathetic young man. When he talks to the people in the audience with his red flag series, you can tell he genuinely cares about them when he says awful things.. and the people being mocked in the audience are hysterically laughing. Why? It’s all about the love behind it I would suppose.
Matt has an old soul. I feel so sorry for him with his insomnia. 20 years ago I would be fangirling him. Today he just wakes up my maternal instincts. Great show!
Here in Belgium we had a segment in a weekly tv-program where they would find keyboard warriors and literally ring their doorbells and confront them with their tweets/FB-posts and every time they would say: “Nah, I didn’t mean it like that”. That segment was called “Heroes of the Internet” 😂😂😂
I've suffered my entire life. I was up till 5am this morning, short nap and up for the day at 8am. It's hard and I passed it on to one of my four children, so if I can't sleep, I know I can call him 😅 (it's not funny but true)!
Am I the only one who this kid reminds of a young Robin Williams? He's so quick with his comedy off the cuff! Could you imagine him and Robin Williams going head to head?
Love both. Outspoken to the bone!Matt breaks any barrier in society with the kind of humor we need so much. We are all alike, just a different package and backstory.
Because he’s not funny. He was funny when he was small comedian because it was all natural. Now he’s trying to be a big star that’s always funny and it comes across that way. He’s really not funny when he plans to be funny 😂
On the contrary, I do think his jokes are good "whales make that sound" " maybe they are fat mermaids" that was so good. But tbh, I think joe has to let some of them slide because if they just stay stuck on doing jokes, there will talk about nothing. Kinda the same with Mark Normand. Mark always makes the best jokes and so many times, but if they just start laughing and making more jokes, the podcast will go nowhere.
I love the podcasts because there’s no limit to what is talked about whether it’s serious life inquiry’s or just bullshit fun theory’s. Listening to these over the years just puts questions/thoughts in your mind that didn’t form themselves and it’s great to hear other world ideas thrown on the table that maybe hadn’t been considered.
Exactly why I like it. I’m not a Rogan simp, I’m a people watcher. Since I was young I’ve always loved autobiographies, and non fiction. So a show like this is great, basically just people watching, but with their minds. Plus I love comedy. But I will say, I’m beginning to get a bit tired of Joe’s default mindset of, the world is going to end, doomsday, etc. and that’s even coming from a prepper, so that’s saying something lol. But like Sam morril nailed it when he was on. Basically talking about someone else while also describing Joe. About the trauma bonding, and that’s how he results to relating to people he doesn’t have a whole lot of common in. Idk but I’m torn on it. Cause ultimately i agree with his belief and mindset. But there is only so Much I wanna hear it repeated over and over. Like everyone sees how messed up everything is, and the constant impending doom. We get it. The only ones that don’t see it are completely ignoring it. Only those two options lol
I ran on 3-4 hours of sleep for years straight. But then I saw a video on Kobe doing the same thing and noticing all the mistakes he never used to make. I made sleep a goal. 7 hours. Took a while and a lot of cycles of melatonin, but now I take less than 20 mg maybe 3 nights a year. The difference is incredible. And pushing 50, I looked so much better than my classmates at the 30 year reunion. Sleep is everything. If you are reading this in your 20s, it's the secret to aging well. Start now.
Thank you for taking the time to explain your experiences with sleep. I am now movin’ it to the top of the Goal Manifesto!🎉 Be Blessed and Be a Blessing 🙏
Jamie earned his salary on this one. Its so cute to see Rife's reverence for Joe, its like a out of control teen being all reverent and behaved for the mafia uncle
Matt; neuroscientist and adhd coach here. You wanna work on learning how to regulate your nervous system aka dig deep into mediation and mindfulness practices, yin / hatha yoga and Yiga nidra (Sleep Yoga) and somatic therapy/exercises. You can learn how to induce a sleep state. It’s simply but hard work. If you really want it - you can do it :) rooting for you and a good night sleep
@@mixedupdragonfly75it really sounds like the mania part of bipolar in my early 20s had to start taking a prescription sleeping medication because I hadn't slept in about a week. I still take it to this day or I wouldn't sleep
@@mixedupdragonfly75 yeah ok. As a french I think you just delusional. Start running 1h each days thinking about people like me who can not. I survived sleeping with synthetic morphin after 2 surgeries in 14 days. I can not stop thinking and I still find my sleep. If you have no sleeping rythme just invent your own.
Sleep hygiene, meditation and audiobooks helped me. Trauma and depression kept , me awake 23 years, nightmares. Circling thoughts. Audiobooks help take my focus off of my inner ramblings. Sleep hygiene reprogrammed my system and meditation keeps me relaxed all over the day.
I love Matt's stand up, he's always such a sweetheart to people that other's may shy away from talking to or interacting with and every time I see one of his shows I'm always thinking "He seems like a really good dude with a good personality and just a genuinely friendly guy that would take a moment out of his day to say hi to you if you went up to him on the street" and after watching this episode I def think he seems that way. Hope he finds himself a nice girl that isn't just after his money or fame.
I know that some 22-ish years ago, my wife and I lived in our apartment where she found it so very hard to sleep, because she always felt like someone was watching over her; an old man. Even when she was awake, she could sense an old man being in the room with her. Whenever she contacted the office, she found out that, in fact, an old man had died in his sleep in the master bedroom of our apartment. I went through the apartment with my Bible, preaching with the gospel and preaching to the man and letting him know that he had, in fact, passed away and he needed to go on and leave this world and go onto his afterlife. After that, my wife never had any other bad feelings and slept great from that point on the entire rest of the year that we lived in that apartment. I do believe that spirits hang around some places where they do not know that they are passed away yet.
I'm going to bet it's not the actual Spirit but an echo an imprint, I couldn't imagine anybody wanting to stick around here any longer than they actually had to I'm not coming back
@@jackschicky I've read that something like that only happens in the case of a sudden or violent death . Odds are pretty good you won't fall into that category. So, relax already. 😆🙄🙃🙂

Omg I’ve been looking for this whole one!! Yes sir it’s definitely a long time coming!! He’s got to be the GOAT of crowd work…. I could watch that all day 😂
It's interesting to hear Matt talking about insomnia at the start of the video. I've suffered with insomnia for 16 straight years, and I can tell you first hand that it controls your life. It's shaped my whole adult life. I'm a very capable guy, I'm 32 years old, and I left school with ambitions of being phenomenal at whatever I decided to do. I had the natural ability to do anything, physically or mentally. I'm physically very gifted, and academically could pass anything I put my mind to. Now I'm not here to brag about how good I am, but more to explain how insomnia can make all of that invalid. So I've gone down many paths in my life, career wise. Every career path I enter, I was told that I have the ability to go right to the top of the industry. The issue is, I simply CAN'T be reliable. I try my absolute hardest not to let people down, I try to fight my body and just fight through bouts of insomnia day by day, making it through the work day like a zombie for weeks at a time, until my body collapses and I can't take it any more. I need days off to recover. Essentially, inevitably, I end up being too unreliable because of my sleep issues, that I can't be trusted to have good attendance. This has ended EVERY single job I've had. I haven't ever left a job for any other reason. They've all been mutual, and we've agreed that I'm no longer capable of being reliable and on time. The biggest issue is that because I don't sleep, I'll fall asleep at say 4am when I'm starting at 6am. Because I'm absolutely zombied, I end up sleeping in and being late. This is a vicious cycle that's repeated for 16 years. I can NOT stop it. I've tried every single thing possible. There is nothing I haven't tried. So I'll paint a picture of a week in my life, last week, this was my sleep times: Sunday - 0 hrs Mon- 3 hrs Tues - 5 hrs Wed- 0 hrs Thur - 4 hrs Fri - 0 hrs Sat - 5 hrs The week before: Mon - 3 hrs Tues - 2 hrs Wed- 3 hrs Thur - 0 hrs Fri - 6 hrs Sat - 14 hrs Sun - 0 hrs Now, that is a typical fortnight for the last 16 years of my life. This has destroyed my career, broken relationships, broken my confidence, my pride, my name, and my reputation in EVERY walk of life. I'm known as the guy who's full of ability, smart, naturally talented, but "lazy." I can't even begin to explain how much that word gets to me. Whether it's at a sports club, workplace, or family meetings, everyone sees me as lazy and unreliable. This is because when I finally manage to sleep, it's usually at 7 am till maybe 11am/12am, so people think I just sleep all day. As well as obliterating my confidence, it's destroyed any type of ambition I have. I used to be the most ambitious kid you'd ever meet. I was relentless! I would set my mind on something and not stop until I was the best at it. Now, I just tell myself "ahh it's pointless. No matter how good you become at it, you'll ruin it anyway by being late and having days off." I can't go into anything with confidence. I fully believe that everyone else can and will be better than me, because I'll f*ck it up eventually. The worst part is, if you didn't beat yourself up enough already, everyone around you reminds you EVERY single day of what you don't do. They get so frustrated at you (rightly so) for ruining things all the time that they start to become resentful towards you. Digging it into your brain relentlessly that "you're always late, you never get up early to do this, you never do that, I can't rely on you" Even worse, are the comments that are driven into your brain like "your sleeping isn't normal" or "yeah if you done things like a normal person" or "yeah normal people would but you don't." It's like, yeah, I get it love, I'm not normal. I'm shit. I'm useless. Im not a proper man. I'm unreliable. Do you want me to open up my skull so you can sculpt it into my brain? Well.. anyway, my main point was to say, after insatiably studying sleep issues my whole life, it's very apparent that a massive percentage of them were born in our childhoods. Mines was born when I was a kid, 1 of 5 kids, the only one who had a different father. I lived with my mum and step dad, and I was the odd one out with a different dad. Daytime was tough, but I got through it. I managed. At night, however, I went to bed, and I became hyper awake. I was lying in my bed, every night between 7 years old and 14 years old, waiting for the 5th or 6th drink to go down and the violence starting. I'd hear the voices change, and I'd sit there, terrified the next stop was my room. I was terrified for myself, but more terrified for my mum, so every night, I'd prepare myself. I knew it was coming. I knew what was happening, but I had to do it. If the noise of pain wasn't too bad, I'd leave it, I'd stay in my bed hoping that he'd fallen asleep. Nope, it starts again, this time louder, mum pain audibly louder and worse. I had to do something. Could I leave it and hope it stops? No, he's at it again. He might kill her I need to help. So, even terrified for my own safety, I'd have no option but to save her and redirect the attention to myself. So I'd run through and shout, scream, plead, and ultimately get attacked myself. When I finally found the bravery to stop him, I had to endure hours of his rage and attacks. This scenario replayed almost every night for 7 or 8 years. When I went to bed, I got ready for battle. I didn't go to bed to sleep, I went to bed to listen and figure out when I had to save her. So, I left home at 14 years old because of this, and moved around from friend to friends house, grandmother, etc.. and that's where it all started. I realise I went a tad deep there, but it's just to give some type of understanding as to what people with insomnia go through, and why they are the way they are. Fast forward to now, 32 years old, and I still go to bed waiting. I'm listening for people outside, listening to make sure the neighbours are all ok, listening for anyone coming to break in and attack my girlfriend or dog. I lay in bed, eyes pinged open, on high alert, waiting for the inevitable danger. It took me a long time to figure out why I was this way. I went a decade thinking I just preferred nighttime😂 it wasn't until I spoke to a psychologist that they dug a bit deeper and got to the route cause. Anyway, if you've made it this far, I suspect you have insomnia too, and my story is relatable to you. If so, you're not alone, my friend. I understand what you're going through.
@@stuart_edward Thanks, i posted, albeit, a shorter version of what you wrote, having chronic insomnia my whole life. Starting with childhood traumas, where i had recurring nightmares for years and years. I was afraid to even close my eyes. That only got worse (just no more nightmares) over the decades. I have a list of 40 meds that i have tried. I am also in a field of work where i deal a lot with those kind of problems with my clients. I know pharmacology and biochemistry quite well. I have an unfinished degree in psychiatry. I can solve pretty much every case (often with supplements, not even resorting to pharmaceuticals). Just not my own. And I'm in my 40s. No amount of healthy living, drug combos, therapy can solve it. Working out just makes it worse. Kicks my nervous system into overdrive. All those things mentioned in original post might work for mild cases. I just ask people not be ignorant that there's solution to everything or there.
@@stuart_edward I lost pretty much every job because of it, where i had to be on time. I would toss and turn for most of the night then my circadian rhytms let me get a good cycle of sleep from 7:30 to 9:00. So i was always late no matter what. Fun fact: a cup of coffee in the morning will completely obliterate my sleep the following night, but if i get up around 4 am (which is down to a minute when i awake most of the times. Even if i went to sleep at 3 am), do my chores, some work, eat breakfast and have a cup of coffee - i can still get to sleep in that timeframe from 7 to 9 and get a good cycle of sleep. Took me decades to figure out that i can't fight my circadian rhytms. Can only adjust around them. Polyphasic sleep was once a solution but not easy to maintain. Also one thing that does work for me in short-term is skipping a night of sleep. I'd just go to a party, dance my ass off for whole night straight, get back home and crash for a few hours. Next 2 nights i sleep like a baby. Research shows that it does wonders for depression (which I don't really have) and energy levels in general. Just staying up one night without sleep would leave me completely wrecked but partying, dancing (and I'd burn around 3000 Kcal during a full night of such activities. I also do it completely sober, not even energy drinks, i stopped drinking years ago because of it's detrimental effects on sleep, never looked back) just makes me feel wonderfull for a few days and lets me sleep.
Wow thanks for sharing all of that! That makes since why you have insomnia. I’m so sorry you had to live a life like that and it’s left a stain. Have you tried night shift jobs? I’m sure you have. I have insomnia as well. What time did you write this book? 😆 I’m joking. You are not alone. I can relate to most of everything you wrote. I no longer choose day jobs cuz I don’t trust myself to wake up and be on time when I just fell asleep. I wish there was a magic pill though.
his embargo with spotify must be up because all the sudden the last week or so tons of episodes been uploading here. theyre older but still. a great treat
It's crazy that I was watching Matt Rife perform in comedy clubs with crowds of less than 100 just a couple years ago, just seeing clips at first, then watching his TH-cam specials. Now I saw he is performing at Bridgestone in Nashville in like October. Going from around 60 people to 60,000 in a couple of years is mind blowing. Wanted to get a ticket in the front section, 400-600 I think it was. Dude blew up faster than any comedian I know of. It's cool seeing him just talk about how he misses performing in those small clubs though, can't really do crowd work as easily when there are 60k people in front of you and the closest person isn't even within earshot.
@@Respect2theFallen idk what they're going for now, scalpers have likely bought them all up to resell, but there were plenty of tickets in further sections in the low 100s-200s. 400+ was like the sections right in front of the stage, floor seats. Still though, the clubs he used to perform in were probably like $30 a ticket lol. Good for him though, get that bag before someone successfully cancels him, although he makes it nearly impossible cause he don't give af
Picture building a log cabin. Starting with the foundation. Keep it simple. Living, kitchen, bath rooms, a bedroom. Go through the build in your mind. Pick out where you'll put each wall, window, closet. If you get to the roof, start on a shop, or start over. 😊
That's what my mom always did - designed her dream house to fall asleep. Lol wouldn't work for me cause I'd get fired up about the house. Or have a hard time deciding on decor 😂

Before hearing the idea of objects holding memory I’ve always had my own theory of “spiritual residue” which was essentially the same thing and it’s mind blowing hearing other people have the same ideas as me on a broadsteam
Nothing new under the sun, brother. So so often I have an idea or theory that I think is original, but I'm also very certain thousands of people have already thought it up but just havent put it to writing.
It's great to see these two chat. For my taste Joe and him are a couple of the funniest comedians around. Hearing them talk on just an array of topics was cool. I don't think I'll ever be famous enough to be on the show but it's great to know some people get far in life and pursue their dreams. ~Panzik Artistry

On the pig evolution / morphing topic at 43 minutes or so: I raise purebred Berkshire pigs and have absolutely noticed changes in my animals when I release them from an indoor stage, where they're food is supplied exclusively by me, and outdoor, where they're able to forage a bit more freely in a large yard (supplemented by me). I've kept boars (males), and sows (females) back indoor for whatever reasons, but let their siblings out, and within a week, sometimes it's hard to believe they're related at all , let alone from the same lit. Their attitudes change as well. I move fairly comfortably within the indoor pigs to clean up after them, pet them, do vet care or whatever they need, even when they are expectant mothers about to give birth (they're obviously instinctively a little protective at that time). After that week outdoors... I wouldn't say I'm not comfortable, but there are a few over the years who i make sure I know where they are at all times and I do my best to not turn my back on any of them.
Pretend you are asleep. Just lay there and pretend you are asleep. Don't move for as long as possible. Pretending you are asleep is the beeest way to fall asleep.
Morons no none of that willnwork...alcohol every other night is the only real solution..or just sleep 2 to 3 hours and get an occasional 6 to 10 hours a night a month
Used to kinda like it when I was younger, but man poppin 6 melatonin to try to get some sleep, still another hour or two to fall asleep and still wake up halfway through the night. Have dreams that last hours instead of minutes like 99% humans. Must be nice
@@MonganSteveu are right but joe just recently started reposting the shizz and its still damn confusing because we know some hosts come twice, trice or four times and we enjoy watching all the episodes with same host….
Me too,, if I don't find something kinda boring but just interesting enough to start watching,, then i will not hardly ever fall asleep,, I will go weeks and either sleep 1 to 2 hours,, or sleep 4 to 5 hours but completely broken up into 30 mins to an hour segment... it sucks,, and if I take melatonin it winds me up,,I could go out at midnight and redo the brakes on a car, mow the yard, rake the grass up, cut tree limbs off and what ever for about 2 to 3 hours,,, how in hell can ANYONE, lay down and be snoring, dead ass asleep in like 1 minit or maybe 4 or 5 minits,, how,,, how can anyone shut their brain off in such short time

This was definitely the highest conversation I’ve been apart of for awhile lol😂 and I’m only to the part about wooden sword fights or holes in your ship…
Ok I’m a Neuroscience nerd and when Matt was talking about his insomnia- can’t turn off the switch for his brain/thinking - he said he thinks maybe it’s the same part of his brain that makes him be able to think (reply) so quickly (in his comedy). And now I HAVE to go look that shit up! Def. an interesting thought (and maybe makes sense prima face) for sure. (Also while I’m at it, I’m brand new to Matt, have only seen several clips and 2 vids- But I immed. noticed his super quick reply/response time and I’ve always wondered about people like that who can do that and do it ALL the time! It’s crazy! So I gotta go find the brain info behind all of that. 😂
He actually talked to a psychologist at his show in Denmark. He asked her what she would say it was and she immediately said AD/HD and a bit of autism. I - having worked with people with those diagnoses - agree. He definitely have some trades to AD/HD.
One of the most randomly enjoyable & entertaining Joe Rogan episodes I’ve ever watched! & I’ve probably watched over half of them so far! It’s not my favourite but I actually really funny, interesting & was just nice to see how these two interacted - the older statesman mixing with a new, curious young lad - fun, natural, relaxing viewing! Thanks Joe, Matty & Jamie! xxx
Matt Rife and anyone dealing with insomnia: in on the one in a million chance you read this please look into a spooky2 scalar machine - it's a rife machine (literally lmao no pun intended- Why files has a great episode on why these machines aren't more popular, and it rhymes it scorruption) that uses the same scalar waves that Tesla was using for wireless electricity and transmit frequencies on those waves to help eliminate sleep disorders. Worth a shot!
I like people like Matt. I think the one similar to him was Sean O'Malley. They are so calm and not there to talk and promote themselves, but rather to have a casual conversation with Joe. And Joe can talk about animals like no one else lol.
This is a gem.. the vibe they wanted right away was very good. I always feel like Matt is what Joe was when he was younger. Absolute beasts here in a moment to discuss off the wall. 😅 Edit: i have to admit that i had to spit my drink out when Joe said "if you had to try what David Goggins does.. you'd probably die"
Matt's brain running like F1 car speed. He's the one of the rare ones that have constant interactions with the audience. He can't prepare the conversation with 20 people per night. Awesome dude 👍
It’s true. Hunters also use trail cameras that are motion activated to keep track of when animals travel through that area and Bigfoot has never tripped one lol
I believe learning to live without electricity, to hunt and forage your own food, make medicine, navigate by the sun and stars, build your own shelter etc gives you a lot of perspective especially with regards to what matters, respect for life and the extreme detachment required to live in human society; not as an animal on the land.

The sleep issue is from Kush. It's a stimulant, and essentially replaces the natural wake sleep cycle, it's counterintuitive because it's also required to sleep when addicted

Joe asking Matt if he remembered back in the 80s…… 🥹 Joe explaining how cool Quake is to young Matt, Matt hitting Joe with the ‘damn that’s crazy’ as though Matt wasn’t born into the latest & greatest versions of gaming. Matt says, ‘oh cool early 2000s graphics.’ Joe just so damn proud, feeling as if he’s on the same level as ya boy. Sweet Matt gives Joe hope rather than reminding him Matt’s age. 😂 Joe is sweet too! The subtle 25,000 people audience drop. Lastly, Joe’s theory on why some women are attracted to known killers. He surely may be right ab parts of it, but I see it a different way. He did mention those women are likely mentally unwell, so that does work for his point. Reproducing with a killer would only be something attractive in nature if the man was otherwise strong of mind as well. No mom wants to have a psychotic spawn from an insane person. A smart, cunning killer is what would attract a woman desiring family of the protective ‘nature’ over a lower intellect, mentally ill killer’s baby. I’m also high cuz these guys are, it’s the group hang they mentioned us humans needing, surely. lol ok thanks bye
When you guys were talking about Quake, how it was back in the day, how the remastered version of Quake 2 is now, i realized that computer game might have been the original first person shooter, 1v1/team deathmatch kind of game. Halo and Call of Duty games etc. that became available after gaming consoles came out have the same or similar kind of programming. I had never heard of Quake til watching this JRE episode. I was always under the impression that the first Halo and Call of Duty games were the first of their kind. I love watching JRE episodes. I learn so many different things with each episode I watch! Much love and respect.
agreed it’s primal. if you think about it historically, the “serial killer” of the past was the man leading the wars in the front line. which was probably the most sought after man.
Also... they're locked up. So they always know where they are. And don't have ready, easy access to other females. Talk about job security 😎🤣🧘♂️🙏🏼🙇♀️😇
This felt like a first date going to see a movie and talking about it...instead of talking about comedy which is what I was hoping for lol but I love them both.
I love joe , not talking shit, but you can definitely tell he kept the conversation in an intellectual direction this time. Matt did try for comedic breaks here and there but definitely let joe take the lead lol
@samantham4351 I noticed this too !! Idk joe was definitely in the mood to talk about what he wanted to talk about in this episode seems like. Didn't feel like a typical interview lol
Great podcast. Two of my favourites right here. Matt, did you know if you lie still, without moving anything, your body will shut down and go into sleep mode, just like a computer does. 🤗
I feel for Matt with the insomnia issue. I have it about as bad as he does. Mine started in around 2004, so it's been 20 years of not being able to find anything to help. The only thing that has come close to helping is meditation. It takes a shit ton of practice though. Good luck, man!

So he got grounded and they sent my 12 year old self to go to a tom petty concert. It was cool though.. i got bugs crawling up my shorts and the ladies in front of me were so smashed one of them started throwing up in her drink. The whole dome smelt like the danky. Huge fan of the both of you. Im 26 with 4 kids and i work at a grocery store after hours because i really want a house and its my “me” time. But your podcasts get me through the shift!

i was like : daaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I too struggled with insomnia but also seen objects move on their own without reasonable explanation (when I wasn’t sleep deprived at all). So he may be right.
Awesome 😎

I've seen the stars dance in the sky... insomnia maybe, but the doors open when you hit 72hrs! 5days for me
You can tell Matt is just a good dude. Really enjoy these talks
Very empathetic young man. When he talks to the people in the audience with his red flag series, you can tell he genuinely cares about them when he says awful things.. and the people being mocked in the audience are hysterically laughing.
Why? It’s all about the love behind it I would suppose.
@@gingersutton8240 reminds me of Don Rickles in a way. Good stuff
I have stayed up way later than I should watching clips of him on TH-cam absolutely amazingly funny and so nice at the same time😅
Matt has an old soul.
I feel so sorry for him with his insomnia.
20 years ago I would be fangirling him. Today he just wakes up my maternal instincts.
Great show!
Here in Belgium we had a segment in a weekly tv-program where they would find keyboard warriors and literally ring their doorbells and confront them with their tweets/FB-posts and every time they would say: “Nah, I didn’t mean it like that”. That segment was called “Heroes of the Internet” 😂😂😂
I feel ya Matt! When you can not sleep know you are not alone! There is many of us out here going through same shit!
Right here. Up at 3:30-4 every night…..8 hours would be great. Im lucky to get six straight hours.
I've suffered my entire life. I was up till 5am this morning, short nap and up for the day at 8am. It's hard and I passed it on to one of my four children, so if I can't sleep, I know I can call him 😅 (it's not funny but true)!

I hope joe listens to this episode sober and realizes how many of Matt's comedic gems he missed.
why? was it drunk?
I was hoping someone else noticed 😂
Yeah he a funny genius lol
Any time stamps?
Joe is definitely higher than Matt lol
This is the closest I've seen to Joe being like someone's dad on the podcast haha
It could be they are 28 yrs apart.
100% same thought!
Am I the only one who this kid reminds of a young Robin Williams? He's so quick with his comedy off the cuff! Could you imagine him and Robin Williams going head to head?
Love Matt
I that that too! Definitely Dad or big Brother vibes 😂
When they both said " A Giant!" at the same time, I knew it was going to be a good episode. 😂😂
Joe doesn’t need a guest, he literally asks questions and then butts in to answer himself lol
😂😂
He really didn't let Matt talk much
His show get fucked
Joe invites people on his show to interview him.
😂😂
Love both. Outspoken to the bone!Matt breaks any barrier in society with the kind of humor we need so much. We are all alike, just a different package and backstory.
Matt keeps throwing in jokes that just are not landing at all with Joe bless him 😂
Because he’s not funny. He was funny when he was small comedian because it was all natural. Now he’s trying to be a big star that’s always funny and it comes across that way. He’s really not funny when he plans to be funny 😂
On the contrary, I do think his jokes are good "whales make that sound" " maybe they are fat mermaids" that was so good. But tbh, I think joe has to let some of them slide because if they just stay stuck on doing jokes, there will talk about nothing. Kinda the same with Mark Normand. Mark always makes the best jokes and so many times, but if they just start laughing and making more jokes, the podcast will go nowhere.
I couldn't disagree more! What TF were you guys watching?! It's clear they get along well
@@jamiesuzanne5781 no one said they didn’t get a long
Maybe Joe's still tired... 😂
I love the podcasts because there’s no limit to what is talked about whether it’s serious life inquiry’s or just bullshit fun theory’s. Listening to these over the years just puts questions/thoughts in your mind that didn’t form themselves and it’s great to hear other world ideas thrown on the table that maybe hadn’t been considered.
Otters, dont forget the otters! 😂
Exactly why I like it. I’m not a Rogan simp, I’m a people watcher. Since I was young I’ve always loved autobiographies, and non fiction. So a show like this is great, basically just people watching, but with their minds. Plus I love comedy.
But I will say, I’m beginning to get a bit tired of Joe’s default mindset of, the world is going to end, doomsday, etc.
and that’s even coming from a prepper, so that’s saying something lol.
But like Sam morril nailed it when he was on. Basically talking about someone else while also describing Joe. About the trauma bonding, and that’s how he results to relating to people he doesn’t have a whole lot of common in.
Idk but I’m torn on it. Cause ultimately i agree with his belief and mindset. But there is only so
Much I wanna hear it repeated over and over. Like everyone sees how messed up everything is, and the constant impending doom. We get it. The only ones that don’t see it are completely ignoring it. Only those two options lol
There needs to be a count of how many times Matt says “that’s terrifying” LOL
Or the word “like”.
😂
i followed both suggestions before the video. ive been drinking whenever i hear both and wont remember typing this tomorrow
Drinking game!🍸🥂🍻
"I love chasing ghosts" also "I can't sleep, ever"

Love Matt and Joe. MY brother passed years ago, he visits alot. I have a picture of his face in an orb. Proof they are here.
I ran on 3-4 hours of sleep for years straight. But then I saw a video on Kobe doing the same thing and noticing all the mistakes he never used to make.
I made sleep a goal. 7 hours. Took a while and a lot of cycles of melatonin, but now I take less than 20 mg maybe 3 nights a year.
The difference is incredible. And pushing 50, I looked so much better than my classmates at the 30 year reunion. Sleep is everything. If you are reading this in your 20s, it's the secret to aging well. Start now.

Matt; neuroscientist and adhd coach here. You wanna work on learning how to regulate your nervous system aka dig deep into mediation and mindfulness practices, yin / hatha yoga and Yiga nidra (Sleep Yoga) and somatic therapy/exercises. You can learn how to induce a sleep state. It’s simply but hard work. If you really want it - you can do it :) rooting for you and a good night sleep
I have the same problem as Matt and I have tried all you suggest. I am lucky to get 4 hrs sleep every 2 and half days.

It's amazing to see the amount of topics they can just talk about for hours! Always fun to listen to
Sleep hygiene, meditation and audiobooks helped me. Trauma and depression kept , me awake 23 years, nightmares. Circling thoughts. Audiobooks help take my focus off of my inner ramblings. Sleep hygiene reprogrammed my system and meditation keeps me relaxed all over the day.

I love Matt’s openness & honesty with who he is … and my first time spent with Joe! Very entertaining 💞
"I dont know what's going on. I'm too stupid to figure out boats." LOL
I love Matt's stand up, he's always such a sweetheart to people that other's may shy away from talking to or interacting with and every time I see one of his shows I'm always thinking "He seems like a really good dude with a good personality and just a genuinely friendly guy that would take a moment out of his day to say hi to you if you went up to him on the street" and after watching this episode I def think he seems that way. Hope he finds himself a nice girl that isn't just after his money or fame.
I know that some 22-ish years ago, my wife and I lived in our apartment where she found it so very hard to sleep, because she always felt like someone was watching over her; an old man. Even when she was awake, she could sense an old man being in the room with her. Whenever she contacted the office, she found out that, in fact, an old man had died in his sleep in the master bedroom of our apartment. I went through the apartment with my Bible, preaching with the gospel and preaching to the man and letting him know that he had, in fact, passed away and he needed to go on and leave this world and go onto his afterlife. After that, my wife never had any other bad feelings and slept great from that point on the entire rest of the year that we lived in that apartment. I do believe that spirits hang around some places where they do not know that they are passed away yet.
Fucking hell mate
I'm going to bet it's not the actual Spirit but an echo an imprint, I couldn't imagine anybody wanting to stick around here any longer than they actually had to I'm not coming back

They do banter off each other nicely💜
It's interesting to hear Matt talking about insomnia at the start of the video.
I've suffered with insomnia for 16 straight years, and I can tell you first hand that it controls your life. It's shaped my whole adult life. I'm a very capable guy, I'm 32 years old, and I left school with ambitions of being phenomenal at whatever I decided to do. I had the natural ability to do anything, physically or mentally. I'm physically very gifted, and academically could pass anything I put my mind to. Now I'm not here to brag about how good I am, but more to explain how insomnia can make all of that invalid.
So I've gone down many paths in my life, career wise. Every career path I enter, I was told that I have the ability to go right to the top of the industry. The issue is, I simply CAN'T be reliable. I try my absolute hardest not to let people down, I try to fight my body and just fight through bouts of insomnia day by day, making it through the work day like a zombie for weeks at a time, until my body collapses and I can't take it any more. I need days off to recover. Essentially, inevitably, I end up being too unreliable because of my sleep issues, that I can't be trusted to have good attendance.
This has ended EVERY single job I've had. I haven't ever left a job for any other reason. They've all been mutual, and we've agreed that I'm no longer capable of being reliable and on time. The biggest issue is that because I don't sleep, I'll fall asleep at say 4am when I'm starting at 6am. Because I'm absolutely zombied, I end up sleeping in and being late. This is a vicious cycle that's repeated for 16 years. I can NOT stop it. I've tried every single thing possible. There is nothing I haven't tried.
So I'll paint a picture of a week in my life, last week, this was my sleep times:
Sunday - 0 hrs
Mon- 3 hrs
Tues - 5 hrs
Wed- 0 hrs
Thur - 4 hrs
Fri - 0 hrs
Sat - 5 hrs
The week before:
Mon - 3 hrs
Tues - 2 hrs
Wed- 3 hrs
Thur - 0 hrs
Fri - 6 hrs
Sat - 14 hrs
Sun - 0 hrs
Now, that is a typical fortnight for the last 16 years of my life.
This has destroyed my career, broken relationships, broken my confidence, my pride, my name, and my reputation in EVERY walk of life. I'm known as the guy who's full of ability, smart, naturally talented, but "lazy."
I can't even begin to explain how much that word gets to me. Whether it's at a sports club, workplace, or family meetings, everyone sees me as lazy and unreliable. This is because when I finally manage to sleep, it's usually at 7 am till maybe 11am/12am, so people think I just sleep all day.
As well as obliterating my confidence, it's destroyed any type of ambition I have. I used to be the most ambitious kid you'd ever meet. I was relentless! I would set my mind on something and not stop until I was the best at it. Now, I just tell myself "ahh it's pointless. No matter how good you become at it, you'll ruin it anyway by being late and having days off." I can't go into anything with confidence. I fully believe that everyone else can and will be better than me, because I'll f*ck it up eventually.
The worst part is, if you didn't beat yourself up enough already, everyone around you reminds you EVERY single day of what you don't do. They get so frustrated at you (rightly so) for ruining things all the time that they start to become resentful towards you. Digging it into your brain relentlessly that "you're always late, you never get up early to do this, you never do that, I can't rely on you"
Even worse, are the comments that are driven into your brain like "your sleeping isn't normal" or "yeah if you done things like a normal person" or "yeah normal people would but you don't."
It's like, yeah, I get it love, I'm not normal. I'm shit. I'm useless. Im not a proper man. I'm unreliable. Do you want me to open up my skull so you can sculpt it into my brain?
Well.. anyway, my main point was to say, after insatiably studying sleep issues my whole life, it's very apparent that a massive percentage of them were born in our childhoods.
Mines was born when I was a kid, 1 of 5 kids, the only one who had a different father. I lived with my mum and step dad, and I was the odd one out with a different dad.
Daytime was tough, but I got through it. I managed. At night, however, I went to bed, and I became hyper awake. I was lying in my bed, every night between 7 years old and 14 years old, waiting for the 5th or 6th drink to go down and the violence starting. I'd hear the voices change, and I'd sit there, terrified the next stop was my room. I was terrified for myself, but more terrified for my mum, so every night, I'd prepare myself. I knew it was coming. I knew what was happening, but I had to do it. If the noise of pain wasn't too bad, I'd leave it, I'd stay in my bed hoping that he'd fallen asleep. Nope, it starts again, this time louder, mum pain audibly louder and worse. I had to do something. Could I leave it and hope it stops? No, he's at it again. He might kill her I need to help.
So, even terrified for my own safety, I'd have no option but to save her and redirect the attention to myself. So I'd run through and shout, scream, plead, and ultimately get attacked myself. When I finally found the bravery to stop him, I had to endure hours of his rage and attacks. This scenario replayed almost every night for 7 or 8 years. When I went to bed, I got ready for battle. I didn't go to bed to sleep, I went to bed to listen and figure out when I had to save her.
So, I left home at 14 years old because of this, and moved around from friend to friends house, grandmother, etc.. and that's where it all started. I realise I went a tad deep there, but it's just to give some type of understanding as to what people with insomnia go through, and why they are the way they are.
Fast forward to now, 32 years old, and I still go to bed waiting. I'm listening for people outside, listening to make sure the neighbours are all ok, listening for anyone coming to break in and attack my girlfriend or dog. I lay in bed, eyes pinged open, on high alert, waiting for the inevitable danger. It took me a long time to figure out why I was this way. I went a decade thinking I just preferred nighttime😂 it wasn't until I spoke to a psychologist that they dug a bit deeper and got to the route cause.
Anyway, if you've made it this far, I suspect you have insomnia too, and my story is relatable to you. If so, you're not alone, my friend. I understand what you're going through.
@@stuart_edward Thanks, i posted, albeit, a shorter version of what you wrote, having chronic insomnia my whole life. Starting with childhood traumas, where i had recurring nightmares for years and years. I was afraid to even close my eyes. That only got worse (just no more nightmares) over the decades. I have a list of 40 meds that i have tried. I am also in a field of work where i deal a lot with those kind of problems with my clients. I know pharmacology and biochemistry quite well. I have an unfinished degree in psychiatry. I can solve pretty much every case (often with supplements, not even resorting to pharmaceuticals). Just not my own. And I'm in my 40s. No amount of healthy living, drug combos, therapy can solve it. Working out just makes it worse. Kicks my nervous system into overdrive. All those things mentioned in original post might work for mild cases. I just ask people not be ignorant that there's solution to everything or there.
@@stuart_edward I lost pretty much every job because of it, where i had to be on time. I would toss and turn for most of the night then my circadian rhytms let me get a good cycle of sleep from 7:30 to 9:00. So i was always late no matter what. Fun fact: a cup of coffee in the morning will completely obliterate my sleep the following night, but if i get up around 4 am (which is down to a minute when i awake most of the times. Even if i went to sleep at 3 am), do my chores, some work, eat breakfast and have a cup of coffee - i can still get to sleep in that timeframe from 7 to 9 and get a good cycle of sleep. Took me decades to figure out that i can't fight my circadian rhytms. Can only adjust around them. Polyphasic sleep was once a solution but not easy to maintain.
Also one thing that does work for me in short-term is skipping a night of sleep. I'd just go to a party, dance my ass off for whole night straight, get back home and crash for a few hours. Next 2 nights i sleep like a baby. Research shows that it does wonders for depression (which I don't really have) and energy levels in general. Just staying up one night without sleep would leave me completely wrecked but partying, dancing (and I'd burn around 3000 Kcal during a full night of such activities. I also do it completely sober, not even energy drinks, i stopped drinking years ago because of it's detrimental effects on sleep, never looked back) just makes me feel wonderfull for a few days and lets me sleep.
Wow thanks for sharing all of that! That makes since why you have insomnia. I’m so sorry you had to live a life like that and it’s left a stain. Have you tried night shift jobs? I’m sure you have. I have insomnia as well. What time did you write this book? 😆 I’m joking. You are not alone. I can relate to most of everything you wrote. I no longer choose day jobs cuz I don’t trust myself to wake up and be on time when I just fell asleep. I wish there was a magic pill though.
I'm 1 that can most definitely relate..all too well my friend🥱

It's crazy that I was watching Matt Rife perform in comedy clubs with crowds of less than 100 just a couple years ago, just seeing clips at first, then watching his TH-cam specials. Now I saw he is performing at Bridgestone in Nashville in like October. Going from around 60 people to 60,000 in a couple of years is mind blowing. Wanted to get a ticket in the front section, 400-600 I think it was. Dude blew up faster than any comedian I know of. It's cool seeing him just talk about how he misses performing in those small clubs though, can't really do crowd work as easily when there are 60k people in front of you and the closest person isn't even within earshot.
Damn I didn't know how much his tickets were and wanted to know thanks for saying that. Now I know
@@Respect2theFallen idk what they're going for now, scalpers have likely bought them all up to resell, but there were plenty of tickets in further sections in the low 100s-200s. 400+ was like the sections right in front of the stage, floor seats. Still though, the clubs he used to perform in were probably like $30 a ticket lol. Good for him though, get that bag before someone successfully cancels him, although he makes it nearly impossible cause he don't give af
You are very lucky.

It's great to see these two chat. For my taste Joe and him are a couple of the funniest comedians around. Hearing them talk on just an array of topics was cool.

On the pig evolution / morphing topic at 43 minutes or so: I raise purebred Berkshire pigs and have absolutely noticed changes in my animals when I release them from an indoor stage, where they're food is supplied exclusively by me, and outdoor, where they're able to forage a bit more freely in a large yard (supplemented by me). I've kept boars (males), and sows (females) back indoor for whatever reasons, but let their siblings out, and within a week, sometimes it's hard to believe they're related at all , let alone from the same lit. Their attitudes change as well. I move fairly comfortably within the indoor pigs to clean up after them, pet them, do vet care or whatever they need, even when they are expectant mothers about to give birth (they're obviously instinctively a little protective at that time). After that week outdoors... I wouldn't say I'm not comfortable, but there are a few over the years who i make sure I know where they are at all times and I do my best to not turn my back on any of them.
Insomnia is not for the weak. I will sing 1 line to a song to myself over and over all night. Ugh it's exhausting 😢

Count backwards from 100
In Spanish… over and over some nights
Pretend you are asleep. Just lay there and pretend you are asleep. Don't move for as long as possible. Pretending you are asleep is the beeest way to fall asleep.
Morons no none of that willnwork...alcohol every other night is the only real solution..or just sleep 2 to 3 hours and get an occasional 6 to 10 hours a night a month
Used to kinda like it when I was younger, but man poppin 6 melatonin to try to get some sleep, still another hour or two to fall asleep and still wake up halfway through the night. Have dreams that last hours instead of minutes like 99% humans. Must be nice

It’s called water displacement and buoyancy, guys 😂
Ok I’m a Neuroscience nerd and when Matt was talking about his insomnia- can’t turn off the switch for his brain/thinking - he said he thinks maybe it’s the same part of his brain that makes him be able to think (reply) so quickly (in his comedy).
And now I HAVE to go look that shit up! Def. an interesting thought (and maybe makes sense prima face) for sure.
(Also while I’m at it, I’m brand new to Matt, have only seen several clips and 2 vids- But I immed. noticed his super quick reply/response time and I’ve always wondered about people like that who can do that and do it ALL the time! It’s crazy! So I gotta go find the brain info behind all of that. 😂
He actually talked to a psychologist at his show in Denmark. He asked her what she would say it was and she immediately said AD/HD and a bit of autism. I - having worked with people with those diagnoses - agree. He definitely have some trades to AD/HD.
Have fun discovering Matt Rife’s comedy and crowd work. He gives you a grin break to your day. Btw, he’s got two shows currently on Netflix. Enjoy!

It’s not my favourite but I actually really funny, interesting & was just nice to see how these two interacted - the older statesman mixing with a new, curious young lad - fun, natural, relaxing viewing! Thanks Joe, Matty & Jamie! xxx
Matt Rife and anyone dealing with insomnia: in on the one in a million chance you read this please look into a spooky2 scalar machine - it's a rife machine (literally lmao no pun intended- Why files has a great episode on why these machines aren't more popular, and it rhymes it scorruption) that uses the same scalar waves that Tesla was using for wireless electricity and transmit frequencies on those waves to help eliminate sleep disorders. Worth a shot!
Definitely gotta look into this thank you
Yep! Frequencies
I like people like Matt. I think the one similar to him was Sean O'Malley. They are so calm and not there to talk and promote themselves, but rather to have a casual conversation with Joe. And Joe can talk about animals like no one else lol.
This is a gem.. the vibe they wanted right away was very good. I always feel like Matt is what Joe was when he was younger. Absolute beasts here in a moment to discuss off the wall. 😅
Edit: i have to admit that i had to spit my drink out when Joe said "if you had to try what David Goggins does.. you'd probably die"
Matt’s legit one of if not the funniest dudes out right now. His crowd work is on par maybe better than Andrew Shultz.
I could sit and listen to you guys shooting the shit all day long! So stinking funny!!!
Bro goes ghost hunting and says why he doesn't sleep, the JINN!!!
I was thinking the same, that’s the reason he can’t sleep!
all of us muslims have the EXACT same thought lol
He couldn’t sleep before the ghost hunting though. He can’t turn of his mind. I’ve had this problem when I was younger too.
She wasnt TAKING his toy. She BROUGHT HIM the toy. 😂
He took her keys and went outside so she grabbed his toy probably as a way to get her keys back. He saw it and attacked her. Craziness
Matt's brain running like F1 car speed. He's the one of the rare ones that have constant interactions with the audience. He can't prepare the conversation with 20 people per night. Awesome dude 👍
I just love this guy!💓 I love that he cracks his self up when he talks at his shows! He's the best!
I laughed so hard when Joe said..."..hunters, hunters don't see big foot" 😂😂😂
It’s true. Hunters also use trail cameras that are motion activated to keep track of when animals travel through that area and Bigfoot has never tripped one lol
I believe learning to live without electricity, to hunt and forage your own food, make medicine, navigate by the sun and stars, build your own shelter etc gives you a lot of perspective especially with regards to what matters, respect for life and the extreme detachment required to live in human society; not as an animal on the land.
Im sorry but this is a terrible take, just because the path forward is challenging and uncertain doesn't mean we go back to doing things the old way.
@@AkshayAradhya I never said go back to doing things the old way but all Homo sapiens should have the basic skills, which means being able to survive without support because while we have the technology now. A climate shift, natural disasters, a solar flare; many things could happen that disconnect people's ability to access tech and conveniences for a time.
Books are great make you fall asleep. 5 minutes into reading, and Im drooling.
i luv how matt rife seems so young for joe 😅
Loved to just listen to both guys! It took me 2 mornings of listening and I truly feel better having done so. Thanks for the enjoyment as well as tge positive energy in broadcasting
Joe Rogan is interviewing Joe Rogan to talk about Joe Rogan.
Omgggg yesssss
This is the most annoying, one sided conversation I have ever seen. This is first and last episode of this show I watch.
So funny!
it would be nice to learn more about the guest :)
@@nicolel9271be gone russian bot
This is the most random conversation ever. I highly enjoyed it.
This is the greatest episode of a podcast I've ever seen all these things interest me
Jamie is over here, crushing over Matt rife.
"It's not that old dude that keeps getting tripped by ghosts" 😂
Hello Joe Rogan comment section
I love how Matt continually asks Jamie questions like it’s his podcast lol😂
The sleep issue is from Kush. It's a stimulant, and essentially replaces the natural wake sleep cycle, it's counterintuitive because it's also required to sleep when addicted
Heavy swimming (laps, laps w/Kickboard) 30min-1 hour before you want to sleep.
👌 Golden for restorative sleep
13:59 Metal doesn't float. Air floats. A metal boat full of air floats. A metal boat full of water sinks.
Dude, I lived on a metal boat covered in concrete for four years with HOLES IN THE HULL and I'm STILL surprised it floated! I lived on it while it floated and I STILL don't get it.
A metal boat full of air is a Submarine. 😂😂😂😂
Go american education system :P
Air and the displacement of water, they are designed to spread the water displacement out more for the density and weight to improve buoyancy.
Joe, let him answer!
I love how comfortable ppl get with Joe!! I hope you talk to some djssssssJoe!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good episode. Matt Rife is hilarious and really quick-witted. He and Joe make for a funny and interesting conversation.
I’m thinking Matt really needs to go to a sleep clinic to determine how to address his lack of sleep!!
Why is this video only at 1k views after 5 days??… and not listed on Joes main page?
I was. Thinking the same thing.
These are old videos re-uploaded from spotify to youtube.... There have been hundreds of them over the last few weeks....
@@SimpleM4N damn so these not fresh episodes?
@user-sz9hk3ve1q you're not a real Fan 😂😂
@@JaydenTrevor-w2tSo you're not a Real Fan! 😂😂
Joe asking Matt if he remembered back in the 80s…… 🥹
Joe explaining how cool Quake is to young Matt, Matt hitting Joe with the ‘damn that’s crazy’ as though Matt wasn’t born into the latest & greatest versions of gaming. Matt says, ‘oh cool early 2000s graphics.’ Joe just so damn proud, feeling as if he’s on the same level as ya boy. Sweet Matt gives Joe hope rather than reminding him Matt’s age. 😂 Joe is sweet too!
The subtle 25,000 people audience drop.
Lastly, Joe’s theory on why some women are attracted to known killers. He surely may be right ab parts of it, but I see it a different way. He did mention those women are likely mentally unwell, so that does work for his point. Reproducing with a killer would only be something attractive in nature if the man was otherwise strong of mind as well. No mom wants to have a psychotic spawn from an insane person. A smart, cunning killer is what would attract a woman desiring family of the protective ‘nature’ over a lower intellect, mentally ill killer’s baby.
I’m also high cuz these guys are, it’s the group hang they mentioned us humans needing, surely.
lol ok thanks bye
This was a mega-pleasurable and interesting convo to listen in on. Thank you!
When you guys were talking about Quake, how it was back in the day, how the remastered version of Quake 2 is now, i realized that computer game might have been the original first person shooter, 1v1/team deathmatch kind of game. Halo and Call of Duty games etc. that became available after gaming consoles came out have the same or similar kind of programming. I had never heard of Quake til watching this JRE episode. I was always under the impression that the first Halo and Call of Duty games were the first of their kind. I love watching JRE episodes. I learn so many different things with each episode I watch! Much love and respect.
Some people think women are into killers because it feels like the ultimate protection... They already know this person is willing to go that far
agreed it’s primal. if you think about it historically, the “serial killer” of the past was the man leading the wars in the front line. which was probably the most sought after man.
Also... they're locked up.
So they always know where they are.
And don't have ready, easy access to other females.
Talk about job security 😎🤣🧘♂️🙏🏼🙇♀️😇
@@zoezzzarko1117 lol yep
@@smoothcollision2997 🤣🤣🤣😇🥰🙏🏼🙇♀️🧘♂️🔥🔥🔥💯😎
This felt like a first date going to see a movie and talking about it...instead of talking about comedy which is what I was hoping for lol but I love them both.
Lol matt had some good one liners that got skipped over for sure though
I love joe , not talking shit, but you can definitely tell he kept the conversation in an intellectual direction this time. Matt did try for comedic breaks here and there but definitely let joe take the lead lol
Joe asked Matt one or two questions, sadly.
@samantham4351 I noticed this too !! Idk joe was definitely in the mood to talk about what he wanted to talk about in this episode seems like. Didn't feel like a typical interview lol
@@josiemcgee4581 Could not agree more with you, Josie.
Great podcast. Two of my favourites right here. Matt, did you know if you lie still, without moving anything, your body will shut down and go into sleep mode, just like a computer does. 🤗
No. Your brain doesnt if you have an overactive brain.
My grandma used to tell me this all the time when I was younger…it was infuriating, but TRUE.🤷🏼♀️
Does not work for everyone. Literally laid in bed for 8 hours and never slept
2 of my favorite comedians! great show!
I feel for Matt with the insomnia issue. I have it about as bad as he does. Mine started in around 2004, so it's been 20 years of not being able to find anything to help. The only thing that has come close to helping is meditation. It takes a shit ton of practice though. Good luck, man!
Joe should have AJ from Why Files on
I stayed awake for 6 days once. Meth was fun back in the day 😂
Same… but it was bath salts for me 😅😂👀
I made it 3 days awake on meth B4 I started hallucinating and got arrested...
Plus the PCP didn't help
Y'all are soldiers
Always have benzos ready when doing speed or coke. Ambein. Comes a time when u gotta end it. Even if it’s 3 hrs. U will feel great when u wake up
24:19 the guy that filmed the giant then came out and said it wasn't a hoax and people have been following him and his wife said he wasn't crazy and the footage was real he died after that
I’m from the pacific north west! Spokane. I’ve been to the Tacoma dome one time, i was probably too young, but my brother who want old enough to drive yet stole the family suburban to go to the mud bogs and then got it stuck. So he got grounded and they sent my 12 year old self to go to a tom petty concert. It was cool though.. i got bugs crawling up my shorts and the ladies in front of me were so smashed one of them started throwing up in her drink. The whole dome smelt like the danky.
Huge fan of the both of you. Im 26 with 4 kids and i work at a grocery store after hours because i really want a house and its my “me” time. But your podcasts get me through the shift! And the hodge twins.
Thank you for having a show where people cant control anything but you! Youre a great human being. And matt rife is pretty funny. I like his crowd work.
Matt Rife is one of the funniest comedians alive today
This whole episode made me think about how our world continuously looks more like an episode of Black Mirror...
What is this spam of episodes lol
He's just uploading the entire Spotify catalog lol
These vids get uploaded on the same day of the president debate? Is joe or TH-cam trying to steer the algorithm away from the debate?
As a producer of paranormal content and someone who has witnessed and caught some amazing footage, this is the perfect interview 😂
24:20 Survivor man was amazing. It was him and his cameras. Basically making Bear Grills look like a joke! That program was insane, dude.
