Thank you 😎
JJ should have his own radio show. Hes so good
I loved hearing him talk about Bad Brains and HR! When he first said PMA I was like, wait "Positive Mental Attitude"?
I could listen to a whole SHOW about H.R. - reading a book about him right now. What I wouldn't give to travel back in time and see those shows! And yes, PMA is indeed Positive Mental Attitude!
@@TheVoidwithChristina Yep. I believe I only got to see BB once live. I think it was during the Quickness period in the late 80s. I was way into BB back then.
Love hearing from John! Great show!
The English guy JJ is talking about at 28:44 is Ian Brown from The Stone Roses
Haha. I was not sure. I thought maybe he was talking about Eric Clapton (The Cream). Or maybe Richard Ashcroft (The Verve) . . .
Ian Brown. what his done ?
Love John Joseph. Keeping it real as F!
Respect to JJ
Dope interview
John Joseph is the real deal and a real inspiration. Can't recommend his autobiography 'The Evolution of a Cro-magnon' enough (the audio version). Thank you for this interview.
The pma effect and meat is for pussiesare a must read as well
Like that guy
John, you’ve been talking about that TV series for awhile now. Half? Was that Gabby or Joe Affe?
I think John was referring to Wisdom of the Sages, Ray Cappo from Youth of Today, when he was referring to the top New Age podcasts about not letting him on their platform??
I doubt he means Ray- or Ragunath as he is now known. Think there long time friends?
whats Wisdom of the Sages ?
The Cry Mads
Paris said that JJ were stealing goods from the houses they were staying at...
John Joseph! A TRUE punk and someone who 100% gets it!!!
30:47.....dead 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
OK the releasing of "soot" particles into the atmosphere thing is a long time theory. Gates didn't come up with it. It's not the "ozone layer" either, it's the stratosphere. It's basically a mechanism to lower global temps relatively quickly if we ever need to do so. The soot basically blocks some of the solar radiation and reflects it back into space. It doesn't stay up there too long, so it's something that has to be done on a fairly regular basis to keep the "sun shield" up. It works the same way that large volcanic eruptions have lowered global temps in the past, and in a similar way that aircraft condensation trails also play a tiny role in lowering temps. The primary method of spreading the "soot" will be by injecting the chemicals that produce it into jet engine exhausts. Sounds crazy, but it's actually real.
Wow dude.
@@TheVoidwithChristina heh yep. I heard this years ago. It was developed by a bunch of scientists think-tanking ways to combat climate change. It would actually work, but obviously great care would have to be taken.
Except it actually works to warm the earth not the way they say. They found out by reseqrching how to thaw the arctic to drill
@@JamesBurwellActual That's the thing though, when you said "...obviously great care would have to be taken", there isn't a single government in this world, nor any criminal-turned-"philanthropist", that I would have faith in to handle such technology. And I don't say that just in the sense of having enough intelligent and competent people to physically manage said technology, but finding governments and other institutions to not misuse it, while also being upfront about both the benefits and dangers of what they're doing, is not an easy task.
Thanks for this, he's one of a kind!
Agreed! And has overcome so much adversity to bring real positive change and energy and PUNK ROCK to the world!
That's true!
he's one of a few guy who has the courage to tell facts as they come, encourage people to think objectively, make us open our eyes and realize how things work in our society.
Considering what we are living these days, we need people like him, and thank you Christina to have him interwied, I really appreciated!
I appreciate interviews but would more appreciate interviewers actually letting guests speak the mind over topics asked. Interrupting like it’s a private conversation. Just my two cents, it ain’t worth shit.
I agree. I was getting annoyed with her. Not that I don't like her or I'm trying to talk shit. She's cool and I appreciate her. But horrible timing with her interjections.
All those interviewers are creating themself talk about themselves they narcissistic
Jhon Joseph always spitting facts
Age of quarrel desert island album
John Joseph is a human we can all strive to be like. And Christina is such a good interviewer and damn cute while she does it
JJ dude take into account as the fan of Ministry that alan jourgensen is in favour of vaccinated gigs too plus that antifa thing.
Least Christina has spoken in any of her vids. :p
Hahaha! I put the show audio through an AI program to get the transcript - according to it, I spoke 18%, which I'm absolutely fine with. Happy to listen WAY more than talk in these. :)
@@TheVoidwithChristina That's a NY thing. Really an US East Coast thing. New Jersey (where I'm originally from) is the same. Gotta assert yourself to speak.
HAHA SIXTY! Imagine that.
How is a dude known for clean and straight living so cooked?
He did a lot of shit back when he was younger
Doesn't look a day over 45
John better watch out hes getting antisemitic.
BS. The claims of 'AS tropes' are designed to silence people that go against the corporates. It is to the point now where real AS is nullified by all this. Much like the overuse and misuse of terms like nat zee and fash is m.

Sorry Christina, but you are constantly interrupting the interview. You need to allow more space to listen. Otherwise, lucky interview.
AMAZING interview! I loved this! I resonate with John Joseph's beliefs and views sooooo much!
this fucking rules,,,i bought age of quarrel when it was new ,still have it on vinyl ,,thanks again Christina!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rad!
The man is a legend
Straight up! Exposing me to the no bullshit PMA approach changed my life.
Lol nutso
A James Corden fan is in the house.
This is so refreshing to hear. Thank God for the people who can see through the bullshit taking place in the past year and a half... let alone for damn near ever. Take the time to see what's really going on. Too many good people being played for fools and I hate to see it. Turn off your TV then ask yourself when you look outside if what you are being told is true...
Van Morrison's Latest Record Project Volume 1(double album)rails & slates against this bullshit-there are songs like Duper's Delight,The Long Con,They Own The Media,that would make Hunter S.Thompson&George Carlin proud-Check It Out:)
You mean they BS that cost half millons if lives in USA alone?
@@Sordatos steaming pile of bullshit,yeah.
"guys, look at me, I'm so woke, I share footage everyday about how the government pays actors to fucking die. I'm so smart" literally, that's how you conspiro heads look.
@@alienduce6755 Whisky Warlord, look at me!!! I know how certain people look too!!! As soon as my brain starts to hurt from trying to use it, I also play the " You guys look like this" card. At the end of the day as long as people think we know best by talking them down then our goal is achieved right? No need for an intelligent debate. No need be friendly about it either. Just get straight to the point so we can get to feeling above these conspiro heads!!! Shit, we are so fucking cool bro!!! I think we need to start campaigning worldwide and let these fuckers see what's really up huh? Or we can just continue to stalk on RUclips... I guess. We don't want to come off like we are some try hards... Anyways, "Fuck thinking and fuck trying" should be our motto... You in?
This dude's RAD.
Hehe... Watching this it's almost as if I see BASED Christina emerging...
What do you mean exactly? Curious.
@@TheVoidwithChristina You were agreeing with a lot of things that were decidedly libertarian and non-socialist/anti-capitalist in many cases. :-)
@@JamesBurwellActual OK so first of all, I don't believe any of the 20th century isms are the right approach for a 21st century dying planet with eight billion people and an ignorance and inequality crisis on a global scale. So yeah, when people start spouting off a set of "ism-based" principles I question if they've thought for themselves at all or are just regurgitating what they think is what their "team" is meant to believe. However, I do live in a country with a healthcare and welfare system based on a socialist model - and the idea of living under the horrific American regime without a significant safety net is not appealing to me. I also see capitalism for what it is - a brutally inequitable exploitative failed experiment that nonetheless factors into my ambitions for amassing wealth to distribute to worthy causes and provide the people around me a better quality of life.
As far as this podcast is concerned, there are a number of things that John and I don't agree on, but we do share one fundamental value: think for yourself, question authority. Whilst a number of his views aren't mine, we definitely share a love for punk rock culture and critical, independent thought - whether our perspectives are right or not is besides the point. His books about discipline, music, art, eating and a positive mental attitude have profoundly changed the way I operate and his story is incredible - would recommend reading all of them. As far as the vaccine is concerned - I think BioNTech are a company that is worth putting faith in, especially considering the credentials of the scientists behind it (and this vaccine was NOT developed by Pfizer, the real scientists effectively just signed a distro deal to get it out there). Whilst I honestly don't like living in a world where I'm forced to do things (and trust me, being in lockdown right now because my government couldn't organise a jab rollout in a pandemic - not unlike organising a root in a brothel, to use an Australian term - will affect your perspective), a vaccine is my ticket to an international ticket out of here - I know they'll mandate it for travel, and most importantly, I respect scientists over laymen when it comes to an epidemiology crisis. I'll be getting the jab, even if I'm not all the way happy with the way we have to do it.
The fact that everyone here is making an opinion about someone based on one thing they don't agree on is another reason why we can't seem to have nuanced, intelligent conversations where we don't have to all agree, which troubles me. Real discussion around this could be really beneficial.
I am a journalist and did my best to stay out of things and stay objective, and burning Pearl Jam is the only time I've ever engaged in dissing a band on camera (with the exception of KISS, fuck those guys) but yeah. I don't know. The Gonzo approach sometimes isn't avoidable.
Anyway, that's as based as I'd like to get (no idea if I'm using that word right).
Thanks for being a part of my comments section, I enjoy your input.
@@TheVoidwithChristina Well that's a lot to unpack.
Those area actually 19th century "isms", but they are still very relevant today, esp. in the USA today, since many leftists in the USA are advocating and voting "blue" to drive us towards a socialist/communist world because they truly believe, in cult like fashion, that it is better, and will "work this time", despite recent examples of it not working "this time" (Venezuela, and of course Cuba). It's in everyone's interest to STOP clueless people who call themselves "progressives" from leading us down the garden path to communism since communism is only a temporary condition anyway, ALWAYS decaying into tyranny. It is not progress, or "new", it's going back to an OLD, failed, 19th century system dreamed up by a "rich kid" who spent his life sponging off his brother and who probably came up with communism because he was pissed that aunt wouldn't release his inheritance. (read up on Marx)
To be "based" is to be "based in reality". To look at the world, and people, and how they work objectively and to understand what works and what doesn't, etc. What works is Capitalism. I know it's "hip" and "anti-authority" etc etc to be an anti-capitalist. But it's a bit dimwitted, TBH. You live under a capitalist system. Your life is good because of it. Capitalism has pulled more people from abject poverty into living like kings relative to the past, even even relative to nobles and lords from the past, than any other system. Is it perfect? No. Can it be reformed and refined? Yes. Are the inequities? Of course. Life is inequity. Not everyone has the same DNA, the same upbringing, the same brain development, and the million other factors that make up what a person is or becomes. You can't force equalize everyone. You can't enforce equality of outcome. What you CAN do is give them equality of opportunity. So everyone has a chance to achieve happiness, however they find it, and achieve their goals. The recipe for this is liberty and capitalism, aka, free trade. AKA, what you probably describe as the "horrific american regime".
Understand tha America also has many social safety nets, more than most people think. It is more "socialistic" in the regard than most outside of the USA realize. Things like health care though, is a whole 'nother can of worms. The American system is a mess. It needs serious reform. But having the govt (e.g. the taxpayers) fund it and thus RUN it is probably not the right solution. Every approach has its pluses and minuses. I could go on for pages about subjects surrounding health care and other social safety nets, but let's just say, I'm not completely opposed in all respects, but I think there may be many better ways that simply work better that we haven't really tried yet. Problem is, it's far easier to sell Santa Clause to people than a more realistic system which might work better.
As far as vaccines go, I'm a pro-vaxxer in general. I DO have my reservations about the C19 vax though, and although I intend to take it, I'm in a sort of "wait and see" mode right now. Why? 1) Because it was a vaccine which was developed very quickly, without the normal safeguards and thoroughness of testing and trial that other vaccines have gone through. 2) I want to see if there are any negative effects 3) I want to wait until we know which vaccine is the best, so I can get the best one. 4) I'm not terribly afraid of C19, because I take precautions, and in the end, it's an extremely survivable illness. My 78 year old mother had it and is fine (caught it from her physical therapist).
Having said that, the FDA process of approving medicines is probably a bit TOO conservative. This is all a result of the Thalidomide disaster of the 1950s and 60s, which caused tens of thousands of babies to be born with horrible birth defects (read up on it). This caused the FDA to go HAM with an ultra-conservative, super-slow, and super-expensive approval process that likely should have some reform.
I also didn't agree with much of what John said, but also agreed with a lot of it, so we're about the same there.
Dissing Pearl Jam IMHO is a bit unprofessional. Everyone has music and bands they love and hate. I'm a total metalhead myself, but I also love all sorts of other music and genres. And I enjoyed me some Pearl Jam and other grunge stuff back in the day. I can listen to some hardcore punk, some brutal death metal, then the next album that comes up might be prog or power metal, the the next may just be a rock or grunge album. I just like good music despite the genre. I even like KISS! I grew up on them. I know people have a lot of problems w/ Gene Simmons though, which I can understand. You'd be surprised how many musicians you like are and were huge KISS fans. You may not like their personalities, or their politics. But if I refused to listen to any band whose politics I disagreed with ... I'd have very few bands to listen to. :-)
Anyway, I only made the original comment because in this interview you didn't come off sounding like some banal sophomore college student who just got out of a class being taught by some academic reality bubble ensconced hippy prof. indoctrinating kids in the wonders of collectivism, which is, tragically, often the norm for people involved with the music and entertainment industry. :-)
@@JamesBurwellActual This comment made my day. We could go back and forth forever, but yeah. Plenty of food for thought here. THANK YOU.
Who TF is this guy, and why would anyone really care about his opinions unless they echo their own?
John Joseph of Bad Brains, one of the most important hardcore bands ever. Who the fuck are you?
It's kind of sad this dude tries to promote himself as a positive person when he apparently is anything of the sort. I read his autobiography and I genuinely feel for the shit he went through but him calling out people over deciding what to do AT THEIR OWN SHOWS is a load of BS. If you don't like the rules, don't go. Also being vegan and healthy doesn't protect you from viruses. Just saying.
@@shootboxpodcast nope not of Bad Brains. Cro-mags dude....but yeah saying who TF is this guy is a dumb statement. John is legendary as are the Cro-mags. There's a lot of folks who care what he has to say.
@@Jawshmetalpunk That's their stupidity. Just because he's a singer don't mean he's not a dumbass 😃
@@zippymufo9765 doesn't mean, doesn't. It also doesn't mean he is.
