Joe Rogan Experience  

Matt: "I can never get any sleep, it's a real problem." Joe: "Sometimes I get sooo much sleep and I feel amazing."

I love how everytime matt made a joke it completely went over joes head and he responded with a literal answer

You can tell Matt is just a good dude. Really enjoy these talks

"Are you scared of everything???" I love hearing Jamie laugh in the background!! 😂😂😂😂😂

Matt: "I've been awake for 9 days straight" 2 minutes later "I've seen things move that there's no way they move on there own." 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Fun fact. If you double tap this comment, it will actually automatically LIKE IT ✌️

I hope joe listens to this episode sober and realizes how many of Matt's comedic gems he missed.

Joe doesn’t need a guest, he literally asks questions and then butts in to answer himself lol

This is the closest I've seen to Joe being like someone's dad on the podcast haha

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.

There needs to be a count of how many times Matt says “that’s terrifying” LOL

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

When they both said " A Giant!" at the same time, I knew it was going to be a good episode. 😂😂

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

Matt keeps throwing in jokes that just are not landing at all with Joe bless him 😂

“It could have been a fat mermaid” 😂😂😂😂😂

the fact that matt is so terrified of everything is terrifying

"I dont know what's going on. I'm too stupid to figure out boats." 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.

I love Matt’s openness & honesty with who he is … and my first time spent with Joe! Very entertaining 💞

One of my favorite comedians right now

"I love chasing ghosts" also "I can't sleep, ever" 😂😂😂

Holy cow man. My RU-vid is nothing but Joe today lol

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.

Dang the Why Files made it on a JRE discussion. His shows are so entertaining

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.

If you can't sleep, listening to joe is never gonna help 😂

It's amazing to see the amount of topics they can just talk about for hours! Always fun to listen to

Joe: pls come on my podcast, I'd like to inform you of all the weird facts I know and talk about it 😂😂😂😂😂

Throwing my ball at this moment with my GSD 8months old. He is the energizer bunny😂😂😂 so smart ❤❤

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 RU-vid 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.

Probably one of the best interviews between two amazing human beings.

"The chimpanzee that tore that lady apart was BIG. It had a diaper on." - Joe

Getting the date for all these podcasts you dropped would be niceeeee

This is the greatest episode of a podcast I've ever seen all these things interest me

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. 😊

"It's not that old dude that keeps getting tripped by ghosts" 😂

Bro goes ghost hunting and says why he doesn't sleep, the JINN!!!

Books are great make you fall asleep. 5 minutes into reading, and Im drooling.

Oh he is such a sweet young man ! And such a pure innocence about him .

Joe should have AJ from Why Files on

It’s called water displacement and buoyancy, guys 😂

This kid is so talented. I'm stoked to watch this interview, Joe!

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 😢

This is the most random conversation ever. I highly enjoyed it.

She wasnt TAKING his toy. She BROUGHT HIM the toy. 😂

I've had a wolf, opposum, raccoon, deer, turtle, snake, fish, and even a bear cub, among other critters. I live in the woods in Tennessee. I love critters.❤

You two are perfect together....amazing conversation and connection

This is so huge........ Thank you Both! ❤😂

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 thinking Matt really needs to go to a sleep clinic to determine how to address his lack of sleep!!

I laughed so hard when Joe said..."..hunters, hunters don't see big foot" 😂😂😂

Mart he is my favourite current comedian because he genuinely pulls shit off top of his head. It's what we call bants or banter in UK and nobody would ever touch him cos he would just clack so raw everybody would love him

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 😂

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.

I can't turn off my brain unless I listen to stories or tv so I can focus my brain on something instead of letting it run away on thoughts

Matt’s legit one of if not the funniest dudes out right now. His crowd work is on par maybe better than Andrew Shultz.

Joe Rogan is interviewing Joe Rogan to talk about Joe Rogan.

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.

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"

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…

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!

1. If you cant sleep, try real work, like farming. Crazy how even the easy days of driving a tractor can wear you out. Imagine driving, a less comfortable car for 16 hrs a day. 2. Ghosts (or something) 100% real. I wasn't a skeptic, I firmly didn't think think they were. 5 days later I knew. 3. Never heard of Blackbird. Saw a documentary years ago about serial killer Larry Hall. Pretty wild story.

Why is this video only at 1k views after 5 days??… and not listed on Joes main page?

This channel is a go-to for information. It's the best!

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.

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

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

Heavy swimming (laps, laps w/Kickboard) 30min-1 hour before you want to sleep. 👌 Golden for restorative sleep

This was like you and the homies just getting lit and chilling on a friday, fun episode haha

Hello Joe Rogan comment section

Matt's never going to be able to sleep again after this show.

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. 🤗

The fact Joe knows SO much and educates other people without making them feel ‘stupid’…. Is the biggest turn on EVER

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 could sit and listen to you guys shooting the shit all day long! So stinking funny!!!

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

I stayed awake for 6 days once. Meth was fun back in the day 😂

Joe,those troll farms you're talking about is the news,lol😂

Good episode. Matt Rife is hilarious and really quick-witted. He and Joe make for a funny and interesting conversation.

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 am the EXACT SAME WAY with the overactive mind and insomnia. My brain just wants to play with my thoughts.

13:59 Metal doesn't float. Air floats. A metal boat full of air floats. A metal boat full of water sinks.

On the ghost thing. Call me a liar. I am born Romanian. Never spent much time in my own country, due to being dragged to portugal as I was 5. Came back to motherland with my older brothers, we went to visit this castle. Pretty big castle. Walked around it for like 2 and a half hours, and it was fun, getting the story of it and what not, cool place, until, i got to this high tower, my eldest got in first and I was probably, 8 steps behind him. As I put my foot in, just, massive chill down my spine and just overwhelming feeling of, death... i couldnt speak, got icy cold, but my soul took me to this little window, no glass, just missing the Stones to make it like a window, and as soon as I looked throught it, I felt like a undescribable painfull feeling in my eye, brain, and back of the head? So I felt like an arrow had hit me in the eye, and I had died there in a previous life? No bs I was white pale ( after being sunburned for 2 weeks, nicely tanned) my brother asked me, like what you on? You good? All I said was, " kind of, but I died here before" .... I don't know what how to explain it more. But it just... there is definitely a ... sense to the madness?

55:30 Joe, you’re basically describing how the liberals use the media. Lol

Ferrets are a riot! They smell pretty gnarly tho..

This whole episode made me think about how our world continuously looks more like an episode of Black Mirror...

I used to clear my old house like a navy seal😂😂😂

I just love this guy!💓 I love that he cracks his self up when he talks at his shows! He's the best!

What is this spam of episodes lol

TikTok listening lol. I've had a voice message from my client about rats in their restaurant in WHATSAPP which I listened over headphones and guess which ads I got in a day? 😂 spoiler: deratification services

I’m sure someone has already posted this but the Movie is the Fourth Kind from 2009.

I grew up in Indiana...a very small town, that has Awmish. They do tie the horse and buggy to the electric pole while they shop inside at the local grocery store. They do use a lantern on the back of the horse and buggy when it starts to get dark. They dont wear shoes when they are on their property..no electricity...they make baskets, cookies, pies, sell the stuff on saturdays on the " one way"...( You buy it just because...but you do wonder how clean they are while cooking...the women wesr full head bonnet, long loose ugly plain black or navy blue dress...then a long ugly plain apron over the dress...no skin is allowed to show. They are very quiet/ shy...

33:21 imagine being that 1 person tuning in @ this time stamp (without any context) 😂

Hey Joe, regarding the the Les Stroud bigfoot video, yes, it is totally a costume. It was a re-enactment of his experience.

I love how comfortable ppl get with Joe!! I hope you talk to some djssssssJoe!!!!!!!!!!!!

I feel like I learn more watching the JRE than I ever did in HS 😮

Omg this “What is Quake”-part hit me really really hard 😂 we’re getting old😂

😂😂😂😂 the bear running is so cute xx aww - omg some dude was cooking bear paws apparently - that’s where his hands went 😂🙂‍↔️🐻💕✨

I call those keep you awake thoughts the “monkeys in my brain”. It’s exhausting!
