Adam Thorne opens this week's episode with a tribute to Ed from the JRE Companion Instagram page, one of the most important fan creators in the entire Joe Rogan ecosystem. I share the story of first connecting with Ed in January 2023, discuss the incredible rise of the JRE Companion page, and explain why it stands apart as the best Rogan fan account online. From pulling up every video, image, article, and reference discussed on The Joe Rogan Experience to being reposted and acknowledged directly by Joe Rogan himself, Ed has helped shape the viewing experience for hundreds of thousands of fans around the world.

I talk openly about Ed's recent health battle, the toll recovery has taken, and why the Rogan community should rally around someone who has given so much to the fanbase without asking for much in return. A call to action is made to support Ed's GoFundMe and help him during his continued recovery journey.

Then for the solo review of Joe Rogan Experience #2490 with RZA. The conversation touches on discipline, Shaolin philosophy, staying grounded through success, Wu-Tang mythology, creativity, health, and RZA's new film One Spoon of Chocolate. Adam breaks down why the episode works best as a reflective conversation about alignment, purpose, and returning to the habits that keep people centered as life becomes bigger and more chaotic.

We're excited to share a preview of a new podcast we think you'd
enjoy: Two Percent.

From New York Times bestselling author and journalist Michael Easter
comes a twice-weekly deep dive into the science of living better by
doing things the hard way. Building on the insights of his #1 Substack
and acclaimed books, Easter balances rigorous evidence with a
healthy dose of skepticism to cut through the noise of the modern
wellness industry.

Whether he's interviewing elite explorers and Harvard biologists or
deconstructing the truth about longevity and metabolic health, this isn't
a show for "biohacking" perfectionists—it's a grounded, often
humorous guide for real people looking to build resilience and agency
in an increasingly comfortable world. From ancient wisdom to
cutting-edge research, listen to Two Percent to discover why the
antidote to modern malaise is often found in the challenges we've
been taught to avoid.

Rick Perry and W. Bryan Hubbard is one of the more unexpected and important psychedelic conversations Rogan has had in a while. Perry, the former Governor of Texas and U.S. Secretary of Energy, joins Hubbard to make the case for ibogaine as a serious medical tool for addiction, PTSD, brain injury, and veteran mental health.

The episode gets into why ibogaine remains illegal in the U.S., what advocates believe it can do for opioid dependence, and why Perry has become such a passionate supporter of medicalizing it. It is part science, part politics, part recovery conversation, and part "how is Rick Perry the guy leading this charge?" Rogan pushes into the promise, the risks, and the bigger question of whether America is ready to rethink psychedelic medicine.

A fascinating episode about addiction, trauma, veterans, and one of the most controversial treatments being discussed in mental health today.
