The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons

Yeah.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons

Dude, and it's going into China. China uses, I don't want to say which supermarket chain because I don't want to malign somebody, but one of the major supermarket chains, they have meat processing plants where China brings in North Korean slaves. They are kept in barracks with barbed wire fences, and they work for 12, 14 hours a day, seven days a week. And they get paid like $100 a month.

And then they come back to North Korea after like four or five years. and their families get this little fucking tidbit of money, but they don't have a choice because North Korea picks what they think are the best examples of what North Korea is because they want to look good to China, and they send those people over, and they're worked as slaves for years.

And the American companies are buying food from these plants in China. Jesus Christ. Yeah, there's an article in The New Yorker about it.

Well, and this doesn't even factor in the African mines where they're pulling up the, what's the metal they need? The cobalt mines where they, you know, they send you, they send people into these mines that are like a mile deep and you maybe make it back up. Maybe you don't. The elevators sometimes stop working. You go down there for like two or three days at a time in the blackness.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons

No.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons

Let's go. Let's get out of here. That was the Irish. We all came over and went into the mines. Well, all the people in Kentucky, right? In the Appalachias.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I think that was Sapiens.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons

Huh. Yeah. That's funny because you think of like the shepherd is this like kind of archetypal figure of this guy who's just kind of laying back with a piece of hayseed in his mouth, chilling out. But now they're warriors. You have to be. Yeah. Because you'll lose all your food. Yeah.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons

Yeah.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons

There's this comic. I did Kill Tony last night, and this comic came up, and he said he's got a Kia, and it's been stolen four times this year. I guess Kia has some kind of a defect, and you can read about it online, but it's like super easy, like old-school hot wiring. You can just grab a Kia. Yeah, I've heard about this. They get stolen a lot. Kia thefts. It's a big deal.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons

I mean, the only downside is once you do it, you've got a Kia stolen.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons

Oh, there's nothing more joyful than driving a Kia.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons

So you're not going to congratulate me? Bought the Mustang. Oh, that's right. I sent you the picture. That's right.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons

I've been talking to you about it for 15 years. I wanted a Mustang. And I always had kids and college. I get fucking worried about money. I always spent my money on trips. Our family travels a lot. Cars were never a big thing. But yet, there was always a teenager that fucking wanted a Mustang. And then finally, I just fucking did it. Which one did you get? It's just a Mustang.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons

Yeah? I took it up into the Malibu Hills or San Monica Mountains the other day with my wife. And you've got those little, like, serpentining roads and fucking – it handles unbelievably. And it's so low to the ground. You turn and you just feel like you're turning with the car. Yeah, you're not used to a car like that.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons

No. I was driving a Prius and a Subaru. It was awful. And now I feel alive for the first time. I knew you were going to ask me if it was a fucking GT or something.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons

Get that eco boost.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons

I'm in. Now you're in. Well, now I got a little more money, too. Yeah. My kids are out. Yeah, you're fine. Yeah. Spending money now. Spending like a million. It's been a good couple years, but like... It's all going back. I put a lot of it into this special that I shot at your club, by the way, at the mothership. I heard it's great. It's out today. Oh, did you? Yeah, I heard it's great.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2196 - Greg Fitzsimmons

Oh, that's nice to hear.
