Joe is actually one of my personalities. I actually grow muscles and lose my hair when it happens.

Plot twist: There was no Peggy. It was Christopher all along. 😮

Yea I experienced this when my chinese friend was driving me home to pick something up. His mum called him so he was on the phone speaking chinese. Suddenly he started driving badly, and went straight through a stop sign without slowing

"i was high and i realized that different languages were actually different personalities" - hits blunt

Joe should've talked about his other self; Roe Jogan

It wasn’t a personality disorder, his Spanish is just terrible.

*has a multilingual girlfriend* "she has multiple personality disorder"

I thought I was gonna watch a Doctor describe multiple personality disorder, but was disappointed when I found it was just two potheads over analyzing something.

It wasnt that she thought he was a creep. His accent turned her off lol

If she only speaks Spanish to her father then yeah that's the reason she was freaked out maybe

I love these talks. Joe is so curious and brings so much to the conversation - while enhancing what his guests has to say.

Bruh she got scared bc u called her a piece of fruit lol. “Estas muy gUavA”

“It’s like asking what’s the natural state of h20” Joe: *happiness noise cos he understood the analogy* haha is it boiling is it ice”

Does anyone realize he just had Snowden on the show and how big of a deal that is??????

My old friend’s dad who was born and raised in Bangladesh literally laughed in a different language. He’d talk to his relatives and when he laughed with them it was so funny. I can’t even begin to describe the laugh, but it was very much different.

Joe: So is it possible that only one personality has tried DMT and the others not?

Sexual trauma during childhood alters brain chemistry as well.

Christopher “I was just high enough” ryan

In a college psychology book, I read that women can have men's personalities. And when they're experiencing certain personalities, they can even start growing facial hair. My childhood best friend's mom had MPD. She could be calm and reasonable one minute. Then tear apart 8 cops the next minute. She's the only person, in my life, I've ever seen take on police like Wolverine through the Danger Room. She attempted suicide quite a bit. And the local PD all knew her well. The cops had to always show up first to detain her for the ambulance. But her personality would change constantly during a pill suicide attempt. Doctors put down that she had 13 different people in her head. And 2 were hostile.

The language part is a nice observation. When I was younger I had major difficulty trying to learn additional languages. It was too random and too in cohesive. Just learning as many words as possible still never felt like you could understand the language and there were always too many exceptions in grammar and spelling. I'm very science oriented so it felt beyond my spectrum. Nowadays I enjoy take bits and pieces of languages to try to understand them and it's completely opposite of how I thought learning languages should be. Instead of trying to expand vocabulary word by word, learning the rules of the languages, it's much easier just to try to understand the feelings and emotions that comes with most common phrases. Japanese happened to be quite easy to start with because they have a lot of fixed phrases in certain situations. You're never really supposed to translate things word by word, because a lot of things just aren't 'said that way' in another language. That's also why a Google Translated sentence is so easy to spot. Not because the words or grammar is wrong, but because... no one says stuff like that, because no one thinks like that... in that language.

I literally turn into a different person when I speak in Spanish. Things are usually said the other way around & language changes your viewpoint on the world which makes sense why it makes us change our personality dramatically.

Joe finally acknowledging how weird that Degrasse Tyson interview was

My English teacher (English is my third language) used to tell us “as many languages you know, as many times you are a person”. Most multilingual ppl know they change a bit when they speak different languages. It’s almost like every language has its own personality. The tones, the mannerism, culture, mentality is different. You can’t be truly fluent in another language without tapping into culture, mentality etc. I don’t think it’s anything bad, it shows intelligence, memory and adaptability.

My son has DID used to be called multiple personality disorder, its painful to see him deal with it.

I thought i had multiple personality disorder until the voices in my head convinced me I didn't 👌

Joe should invite Charlie Sheen onto the podcast. That would be epic.

There is an Australian woman who has hundreds of personalities as her brain generated them to help her deal with absolutely horrific child abuse leaving her with a colostomy bag. If I was wearing a personality which dealt with one or more of those memories it would definitely alter my blood pressure or heart rate. In reality she is an absolute champion survivor.

Joe “ that completely makes sense to me” Rogan.

This guy looks like Freddy Roach

There is a book I got when I had a slipped disc and went to the ER twice screaming in pain. It went on and on, until I thought I would be crippled with pain for life. And I was a Crossfit coach, so that was pretty depressing. After spending a fortune on doctors, I got the book, "Healing Back Pain," by Sarno. It works on any kind of nerve or chronic pain, so not only backs. Once I finished the book, and did what was recommended, no more pain. It was incredible, but made so much sense. In time, because severe life stress, my nerve pain decided to go to my hands, and I mean so bad I actually had a strange urge to cut my hand off to stop the pain. But I worked the same thing, and once the stressors were removed, no more pain. The hard part of the philosophy is that your body is screaming at you to improve something, or get away from something, or do something, and if you keep ignoring that, the pain you work out of one place will find another way to distract you from the reality of the real pain you are allowing yourself to endure. Something like when we think, well, I'll stay married for the kids sake, even though he is a neglectful, cheating liar. Your body says, ok, but if you do that, and control your emotional pain, you will get physical pain instead. That is the basis of almost all chronic pain. That is also why there are trends in the kind of ailments we get. In the 80s it was ulcers, and most recently back problem or fibromyalgia. Our bodies hate the lives we live and so they tell us to wake the hell up. If you do, the pain does stop.

This little Peggy spoke English, this little Peggy spoke French...

Joe Rogan is great. It is so wonderful to see people having intelligent conversations.

One of my aunts has a horrible stutter when she speaks english (first language) but in spanish she could carry a conversation without one slip up

"Roseanne says she doesn't have multiple personality disorder." Yeah but which one of her personalities is saying that...

He spoke to her in Spanish the same way he orders his burritos: “I’ll have the car nay uh sa duh burrito pore fuh vore 🌯 “

I was very skeptical about Multiple personalities until I worked in a facility with intellectually disabled adults . We had a lady who was moderately to severe in her capabilities and she had multiple personalities but was undiagnosed. When she had her episodes her facial expressions, voice, and body movements changed and when we called her she would say “(her real name) is not here!” sometimes she would say her other personalities name she had like 3 or 4 .

I'm so happy, cause today I found my friends... They're in my head.

Multiple compartments of a shattered brain creating survivors to cope with trauma

Joe please do a show on brain damage...I had meningitis and was in a coma for five days plus another un-diagnosed head injury where a homemade swing set fell and hit me in the back of the head, plus childhood sexual abuse..... im quite interested in hearing more about this or these subjects.

I recently found a channel on here called disocciadid which is by a girl with disociative identity disorder (previously multiple personality disorder) and was so fascinated by it! If you want to actually educate yourself on this disorder I would highly recommend watching it, especially coming from someone who actually has the disorder. When I found out that different personalities can have different health issues, like he mentions about one personality needing glasses when another doesn’t, i was amazed. The human brain is an amazing thing!!

That's a hell of a "my ex is crazy that's why she broke up with me" story brother

What if life is just a simulation and people with multiple personality disorders are just characters in a game on an account that is shared by multiple people who are saving to buy paintbrushes

Speaking of hypnosis... There’s an amazing book about a hypnotherapist who was originally an atheist treating people and when they were under *deep* hypnosis he would tell them to go to the source of their unexplainable pain/depression/etc. and the first time he did this a man (who had a pain in his side and after many tests the doctors told him it was psychological) immediately started describing being bayoneted in a war. The hypnotherapist who was a minor historian asked him to describe what he was wearing, etc. and realized exactly what battle it was (which was hundreds of years ago). This hypnotherapist, who again was atheist this time, didn’t know what to make of this, and tried to ignore it. Some time later with a separate client the same thing happened concerning her depression, except she started describing being with her “soul group” between lives. This hypnotherapist went on to dedicate his life to finding out more about our lives between lives, documenting thousands of separate cases (without leading questions or anything of the sort). The most incredible thing is the continuity in what all of them said. It’s absolutely incredible. For those of you who know how powerful & consistent deep hypnosis is, this is an amazing read. It’s called “Journey of Souls”

"My girlfriend made me embarrassed in bed so I dedicated my life to studying multiple personality disorder"

I lived overseas and while there I spoke french and the local trade language. I can confirm that the person I became there had her own personality, body language , level of confidence and clothing preferences. Culture changes affect how one behaves. We just pick it up from others around us.

My wife is second generation Cuban immigrant and ive noticed the same thing. When she speaks English or Spanish she not only changed language, everything changes. Down to her physical movements and subtle things. There's a Spanish version of my wife I'll never know. Lol

I once dated a woman w multiple personality disorder and her face would change shape when her personalities would shift. Ever so slightly but after a while I could tell she wasn't her anymore. Turned out to be a very frightening experience in the long run.

Chris: Hey babe wanna hit this joint? This weed is really good. Girlfriend: Sure Chris: Here you go Girlfriend: Gracias Chris: WOOOOOOAAAAHHHHH you have, like, multiple personalities

This interview with Jim Gaffigan was awesome

As a foreign languages teacher, I think I actually feel it happen and can put my finger on the details when I switch languages. I feel like switching language is kind of like playing a character. And changing the language you normally talk with a certain person is FREAKY

My father worked over thirty years in a prison for the criminally insane. He said he had one multi (he said a true multiple personality is very rare) that was seriously diabetic when in one personality and not diabetic in others.

Great conversation... I like this guy, seems grounded.

I love how efficient Jaime is. When Chris showed Joe the book, Jaime pulled it up in the corner for us to look at cover of the book.

Love Christopher Ryan His podcasts are always top class

I am going to miss just having a stroll through KZfaq and stumbling across an extremely interesting JRE Clip. Damn you, Joe Rogan! Good for you, Joe Rogan.

Fun fact: Your mother language (the language you learn first) actually has an effect on how you think. And if you are raised bilingual, it also effects the way you think. And as you learn new languages, the way you think changes.

Any story that starts with: "I had just smoked a blunt and was high enough to..." can never be boring

He is sooooooo correct about people changing when switching language,so true

I started learning French about a year and a half ago (and now speak at a high B1-low B2 level), and as it really started to click, I noticed the same thing about myself with personality. I’ve noticed I’m much more animated when I speak French, and of course there are the actual cultural differences which always apply when you learn a language which make you seem different from the outside looking in. I also plan to settle in Montreal, so to have Québécois (French Canadian) children will be very very cool, and will help my French in a very special way I think. It’s very intriguing, and I’m looking forward to seeing where it goes from here!

“I was just high enough to notice....” explains a lot 😂

I 100% agree with this. The person I think i am when speaking Spanish is different then the person I think I am when speaking English. It goes even deeper because I migrated when I was 12 and my first experience with english was street/hood english unbeknownst to me. So for mny years I though that was the natural expressions in english. As i got older and started to get more involved academically I learned the more acceptable english form, however, when I'm am surrounded by hood/street like people my way of expression changes and my point of view also gets distorted. Wait there is more... when i was a child back home I grew up in 2 very different social economic parts of the city, and often I struggle bouncing from one way of speaking and viewing thing to another based on which dialect I am expressing my self with. Is fuckikg bizarre i know.

I forget where I heard this, but I heard that some people can solve problems more easily when answering in a language that's better suited to the problem.

I was raised speaking 3 different languages and there are really differences in your behavior depending on the language. But it has nothing to do with multiple personalities

I'm totally aware of my mood swings, and I quite enjoy most of them. I don't like prolonged negative thoughts aimed at someone who's wronged me. That I don't enjoy, and I fight to swing out of that swiftly. But yeah, I'll go from pensive to nolstalgic, to giddy within an hour. Mostly when by myself. And like they said, I'm totally different "mes" around different people.

The dude thinks he had a girlfriend lol he was high af all along.

Boys go to school, men watch jre experience

I go between two different people depending on my cycle. This is scary I feel for my people that support and I'm supposed to support them. It is so hard I fail

If you think about it... Consuming certain substances Trauma Aging and experiences Key stimuli Etc. You could gather up a single person across various stages of their life and it would be shocking to witness how much variety can be cramped into a single individual. How we even have a sense of "self" is almost as mysterious a phenomena as how someone can have 1 to a 100 different people living inside their mind. I never get bored with this.

I would be very interested to see research done regarding pain perception, migraines, tics, cancers, etc and their potential relations to personality disorders or reprogramming someone into a personality that doesn't get headaches for example.

I got 5 different personalities and they are all over the age of 65 so I want five different Social Security checks pronto!

The mind is so powerful and if we harnessed it to its full potential we could fly, literally.

The thing with languages is really interesting. You feel a different sense of self when you speak a different language. When I speak or write in my first language I'm very casual I speak at a quicker pace. When I speak english I talk more slowly and actually think more of what I'm talking about instead of vomiting words out, I feel smarter too.

This conversation has been so great for me, knowing deep down there are many things manipulating our understanding of Reality, yet, Reality Itself has put these absurdities on us and we have to paradoxically understand we've been played by the Universe. What is Freewill? That's where I hoped this conversation would go. Cause Freewill isn't a thing... we're too biological to be able to have Freewill.

Multiple Personality Disorder was renamed Dissociative Identity Disorder. I was diagnosed with it about 6 months ago. He is totally right about some alters (alternate states of consciousness) needing glasses and others don't. That happens within my system (the collective of alters) as well as change in voice, sensitivity to temperature, etc. I find it really interesting sometimes. When it's good, I nerd out on it but when its bad, its real bad.

I speak native Spanish, Catalan, Galician and english and German and I totally agree with that perspective even I've never thought about it until now. Wow.

What's funny is the opposite happened for me I knew 3 languages when I moved to USA 4 including English and became super anxious dealing with ppl talking about my accent so I hid it within 6 months to a year and forgot French German and Latin 😂

JR podcast makes me feel safe and at home. This is the new news.

We disagree with him.. No we don't 😏 🙃

I was in a psych treatment for eating disorders that was research based & also had other mental health protocols there too. My roommate had multiple personalities

I got about 7 minutes into this before I realized that wasn't Adam savage

He took to much pride in the creep thing.

Neil DeGrasse Tyson always gets touchy when you ask for more answers than he has to give.

Split is such a good movie.

It´s a pretty common phenomenon. It´s about who are you talking to. Not just what language you are speaking. The more you like the person, the more you talk and behave like them.

I’m massively interested in this topic, I honestly believe that most people do this on a regular basis without even noticing, you know your mothers ‘phone voice’ from when you were a kid?? I’d like to see a study on why a person’s demeanour changes depending on who they’re interacting with, I want to know if it’s like a mimicking style behaviour or wether it’s a respect/trust/perception thing that’s going on, please respond to let me know your thoughts... thanks guys 🙏

YES! A language and the way it uses its words to express concepts and the culture from which it originates, all of those and other factors bring out different aspects or personalities of a true polyglot while speaking each of those languages. It changes one's body language, facial expressions & the other non-verbal components of communication; it even changes the way one thinks in a fundamental way which affects how one perceives and solves problems as well as the style or flavor of one's creativity. It is truly a profound and amazing thing to witness & experience!

What this guest is talking about is not a "disorder". This particular characteristic of people is common throughout the world. My wife is Filipino and i experience the same thing with her. When she speaks tagalog with family or friends, she often does appear to "change". This is an extension of how our brains function within the context of different languages. There's no space here to go into the vast plethora of why this is so. In contrast, MPD (Multiple Personality Disorder) IS a true disorder. It is rare, but it does exist. It is not particularly useful to tag the phenomenon mentioned here as a disorder.

I noticed this when I was a kid. We all act different with our friends as opposed to around parents.

It's true. I regress emotionally when speaking my native language and feel like a different person. It's a bizarre aspect of language.

There’s nothing creepier than someone trying to speak to me in what they think is my language particularly in an intimate situation.

I'm bilingual, and I experienced that as well. Rural vs city heck yeah, it might even explain the difference between Americans and Europeans. That was very insightful and on the ball, thanks guys.

My ex had this, it was one of the most difficult times of my life. Her personalities would switch on the fly.

Nowadays everyone has multiple personalities at least one for the internet and at least one for the real world

I developed the others due to trauma that caused extreme shame, so in order to carry on in daily life, I became someone who hadn't experienced it, so I could go on.

Notice Oscar Dela Hoya when he speaks Spanish he moves and acts like a bold, strong man. When he speaks in English, he sounds and has the look of a little boy. Also, a friend of mine who lived in Hungary as a girl, and now lives in Florida. She exhibits fear when she speaks Hungarian, but not when she speaks English. I wonder how much physiology would change according to the accents we use.

I couldn’t remember how to carry my head on top of my body after a bad car accident. It actually turned into quite the disability. I’ve been recovering using brain retraining techniques and it’s like I’ve literally built a new personality. If I try and be the person I used to be, shakes and tremors everywhere. If I use my new personality, I can go to the gym and lift weights, go backpacking in the mountains, etc. The mind is nuts!

1:55 best way to stop allegations 😤

7:39 “Jamie google it to see if it’s true” make sure google fact checks you

That grasshopper locust example is great!

Those last 30 seconds got me. I'm from podunk Montana, moved to Bay area California 15 years ago when I was 25. I've never quite fit in. It's nothing judgmental, just feel a general disconnect with the culture. Well, actually I have felt judgmental about some of the differences, but I try to understand that it's a cultural difference. And that's not to say I also wasn't judgmental of significant aspects of the midwest small town culture. It ain't all pure and innocent.
