Dude casually admitting to international smuggling is probably the best part of this episode.

It was a pleasure joining the show. Let’s do it again when I have a new batch of wild foods to bring you.

I love how Joe was so ready to impatiently jump into it, but by the end of the build up he wasn't so sure anymore 🤣

That local honey thing is 100% true, I bought wildflower honey from a local bee keeper and the difference between that and the store bought honey is night and day!

Joe was instantly ready to try a new and relatively unknown psychedelic at a moments notice 🤣

Dude brought the honey through customs just to bring it on JRE. Respect 😂

“Is it cuz the bees know?” No Joe, it’s because their bees trying to protect their hive.

Joe really went from. “I don’t want to use an already used spoon.” To dipping his already used spoon right back into all the honey. 😂😂

I love how Joe goes from wanting to eat it right away to just a little taste.

"The Honey isn't conveniently located. It is where the bees put it." Best quote ever.

I have tried this! And got high for 2 days. Consulted a doctor and it took 3-4 days to come back into normality. i regret trying this. I REGRET trying this.

I love how Joe was ready to dive in immediately. No hesitation! 😂

I find it hilarious how Joe was ready to munch a whole spoon full and had no idea where it was from 😂

"The honey is not conveniently located, it's located where ever the hell the bees put it" made me laugh out loud.

The flower is Rhododendron flower, the flower itself makes you feel light headed if you smell it for long time.

Sonny is someone who brings people together through somthing absolutely fundamental - FOOD The man never judges but always accepting. He is one hell of a human being. Just love him

I love Joe went from “I’ll try it right now!” to “idk maybe a baby spoon”

His brother's text was hilarious, the transition from euphoria to regret killed me

Just wanted to say, I love your show man... please keep them coming. It's my way to relax at the end of a hard day working... there's nothing worth a s**t on TV anymore so I'm thankful I've got your podcasts.

Very cool episode Joe! Thanks for having this guest and his mad honey😊

Anyone who still wears a bandana in 2023 knows their hallucinogenics.

The brother saying “I should maybe eat a banana” at 5am after a trip is the most relatable shit ever 😂😂😂

It was nice of him to offer Joe the whole jar so he can enjoy it off camera :)

Smoke: does not repel bees, it disrupts their signaling (communication) so they tend to stay calmer. Mad Honey: the potency varies tremendously so tread lightly for starters. The Turkish varieties are really good also. (FYI - still illegal in the U.S. unfortunately).

I love that this dude just *happened* to be collecting hallucinogenic honey and watching JRE and gets in touch and Joe immediately gets him on the show 😂

Sonny said “I’m sorry, I’m very controlling.” Joe responded, “It’s okay” gently 🤣

So cool to see two of my favorite KZfaqrs on together!!!

Love both these guys and their shows!

His brother going from "Its awesome" to "this is weird" to "regret" Is hilarious

Joe becoming a beekeeper will be the height of his character arc

The way he explained about his brother to give a back story and then the fact that Joe only took half a spoon full is hilarious

This beat every expectation! Loved it!

So happy seeing this man on the podcast he’s actually got one of the best food travel shows

As a nepali kid, this was my goto during my exams - 1 spoon honey with tea and aced my every exam. My teacher was always like you're a happy kid :). I'm a happy engineer now.

"I must have shredded thousands of bees with my drone"

One of the more dangerous parts of this job is climbing the cliffs in order to put the rope ladders up for others to use. I'm guessing that the quality of the honey and the potency of the hallucinogen likely varies from nest to nest and year to year as it does with regular, Aviary honey.

Joe was ready to dig right in with zero preface of what he was about to be ingesting 🤣

Eating some right now as I am watching this, and he is right. As soon as you eat it, it's as if eating heavy cinnamon. It's a weird heat like feeling, but I wouldn't say hot pepper hot feeling. As well as that feeling in the back of your throat, nearly a few moment of eating it, that feeling was there as well. About five minutes into it currently, feeling good. Wow, this is something

🇬🇧 Oh so weird! I'm a fairly old granny now but as an Art Student in the early 1970s I was in Tibet & travelling round to different places, we ate loads of honey with meals. I don't think it was Mad Honey, but being up in the Himalayas with it's high altitude & ratified air, it could have been mad honey, as it takes a while to acclimatise & often times my friends & I felt rather " drunk" but we didn't drink any alcohol. Also we felt fairly happy most of the time & laughed at everything, which made us giddy & light headed We believed it was the high altitude Maybe not though. What I did like but none of my friends did, was the Yak Tea Which was a sort of herbal green tea flavoured with Yak Butter It smells abit pongy, but it's only mildly cheesy-ish. The tea is hot & could be described as greasy but I didn't think so, it's an acquired taste & is refreshing & eases up your muscles & helps energy levels when hiking about. It can be sweetened with honey for European tastes. I think we may have smoked some questionable herbal tobacco in pipes but I honestly hadn't taken drugs before so wouldn't know if we were stoned or not but do clearly remember laughing all the time, feeling not a care in the world & a great sense of wellbeing, healthily so. So whether it was the rarified air, mad honey or herb pipes, I felt so strong healthy & full of energy but incredibly mellow... 🤗 Thanks for the vid Hope you had a blast later Joe. Peace & Good Cheer 🇬🇧🙆

Guest: "it can lower your blood pressure, which I think is what makes it difficult to move and to walk" Joe: *that laugh we all do when we got into deeper shit than expected*

I love how excited Joe was to try it at first, and after he told the story he was almost forced into trying it lmao, that tells you he probably would've taken a whole spoon at first, wich he would definetely regret after listenting to his story, so moral of the story, always listen to the story first, try later

This is gold jrp with another gem ❤

It just arrived today, can’t wait to try it after work

Joe's transition from being fascinated with primates to being fascinated with bees was unexpected af

How disappointed Joe was having to wait to hear a story before he can eat the honey 😂

Use usual table spoon. For a tea cup.. can drink with hot water or with tea.. good for health

This man actually started to talk about the SIDE EFFECTS right after Joe took it. Joe was like "wtf" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I once tried it and had the best sleep of my life. I am from Nepal. The indigenous Tamang community who harvest the honey has been doing it since generations and was used basically for medicinal benefits but now as it has gained popularity and demand, I worry about its sustainability.

I love watching Sonny’s shows.

Throat clinch tells you how potent it is. Eating mushrooms does the same thing. I was told back in the 70's that's caused because of strychnine in it.

Finding the honey hunters was a totally surreal experience, so glad Sonny is on Joe Rogan talking about it!! Can’t wait to see your take on it bud!

Joe rushing to try the honey is the most Joe thing I have ever witnessed

This sounds like something I'd love to try in my tea before a workout 👍🏻👍🏻 do they have a website or some way the US can get it?

This segment was absolutely nuts

Joe’s nervous laughter after hearing of the lowering of the BP is freaking hilarious.

Joes face was filled with regret after he tried it - absolutely hilarious

“Sorry I’m very CONTROLLING” 🤣 killed me

His brothers texts had me rolling!!

He should've let Joe dive right in to the heroic dose and then explain. What a show it would've been.

Smoke is to calm the bees. When the bees sense the smoke, their instinct tells them theres a fire and they may have to leave the hive. So they gorge themselves with honey and it calms them down. It's amazing the difference smoke makes in calming the bees. I've been keeping bees for 25 years.

Joe casually licking the spoon then dumping it back in the jar, Party foul bro!

Nepal's Himalayan region, a natural gift in itself, harbors highly prized substances like Cordyceps Sinensis, Shilajit, and Mad Honey. Thank you for highlighting the special substances found in our country, Nepal.

Now Joe has something to spread on his peanut butter and shroom sandwiches.

Those texts from his brother are freaking hilarious. The way they evolve to worse and worse and then finally ending at sunrise with, "should probably eat" is too real man hahaha

The tingling in the throat is anaphylaxis in a moderate form

You can eat a little when u have shore throat,as well as u can apply when u get sprain very useful😊😊

sonny is my absolute FAVORITE guy to watch as far as “food shows” …. he puts so much work and heart into what he brings his viewers. he not only has respect and curiosity for every single person, culture, country and dish he comes across. he truly tries to bring knowledge and share his own curiosity with everyone watching. 10/10 think everyone should check him out .

Joe not wanting to share spoons. Procedes to put used spoon in the honey. 😂

Sonny's i feels like you weren't only there honey there whole time lmaooooo i love it's bro keep doing your thing 💯 ❤️

I love Sunny! These two together is a real treat:))

Joe: “I’m not gonna use a spoon that was already used” Also joe: eats honey and puts spoon in jar 😂

I love how Joe immediately just had a spoon in his hand ready to go.

That txt is funny AF 😂😂😂 We've all been there on hallucinogenic substances thinking wtf have I done. Stap in tight it's going to get bumpy 😂😂😂

Has to be something with the cold. Where it's located...must be preserving the chemical and mgo must be making active. Therefor phsyco active

“We got to find out Joe” 🤣😂 as a recovering addict this made me giggle!

I like how dude starts explaining the downsides AFTER Joe took it.

I love how Joe is freaking out and the dude is just like “joe we’ve gotta try and find out”

Sonny is so cool! Glad to see him with Joe!

This is wild bee honey And its totally organic As the wild bee harvest on a flower called Rhododendron which is only found in mountain region and is also a national flower of Nepal. Few years ago i jst took two spoon and i can fell the honey going through my throat to the stomach,and makes my body buzzed nd high as soon i take itt Bt after that i was really afraid to took it again..

Joe’s face is hilarious after he takes it and the guy continues telling him how terrible it is and he said he has a show later 😂

I am really happy to see Sonny on JRE. If anyone deserves the exposure it is him.

Did you know you can also use that on wounds and cuts as well?

When bees smell smoke they go into save the honey mode presuming the hive is on fire. Regular honey bees mellow out when they’re full . That’s why beekeepers use smoke.

This is a pretty big moment for Joe, he's been talking about this honey for years lol

Joe was fiending for that honey through the whole story

The flower is a type of rhododendron and it's because of a cytotoxin from the flower soo it is technically poisonous but there are reported health and possible spiritual benefits if used correctly

12:50 the minute it’s hit him hard , u can see it on his face

Bees react to smoke as an impending fire coming, they gather as much honey as they can, and when they are full of honey it’s very hard for them to use their stingers.

Fun fact: The traditional Nepalese houses have a lot of timber elements such as structural elements, stairs, and windows. So , Nepali culture has a ritual where we use smoke from a charcoal incense burner and move it all around the house so that it drives away all the insects inside, it is a natural way to disinfectant and kill bugs.

1:12 “Sorry, I’m really controlling” Joe: “that’s ok” 😂😂

Someone give Joey Diaz some of this shit right NOW

Saving the next jar for the next AJ interview.. I hope 🤞

Been waiting for sonny to pop up in the JRE. He’s got some crazy/cool stories and he seems like a charismatic guy

Dude has one of the best food shows ngl. Very interesting and entertaining

Awww u interviewed my favorite food review person 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Another insightful video. So much similarity with South Korea. Not sure whether it’s worth while covering. Thank you and well done.

It works on acetylcholine receptors

Joe: Eats the honey Other guy: It lowers your blood pressure Joe: Nervously laughs, I'm in danger 😂

Dude deserved to be on this show

Dude literally drank from the same spoon that Joe drank from you can tell he's a real one😊
