The episode opens with Joe playing a documentary about the ASML EUV chip-manufacturing machine — arguably the most complex machine ever built. [1] — Joe Rogan "The machine that makes modern AI chips fires 150,000 laser shots per second at tin droplets the size of white blood cells — and never misse…" 01:50 The clip describes how the machine hits 50,000 microscopic tin droplets per second with a laser, three times each, heating each to 220,000 Kelvin (40 times hotter than the sun's surface), while overlaying chip layers with precision within 5 atoms. Tony is visibly stunned. Joe riffs on how people like him and Tony are out there making toilet humor while somewhere else engineers are literally doing science fiction. A block of sponsor reads for Create Creatine (with promo code ROGAN for 20% off), The Farmer's Dog (50% off first box), and ZipRecruiter (try free) follows before the conversation resumes.
The Most Complex Machine in the World Makes Your Computer Chips
The machine that makes modern AI chips fires 150,000 laser shots per second at tin droplets the size of white blood cells — and never misses one. Its mirrors are so smooth that if scaled to Earth-size, the biggest bump would be thinner than a playing card.
50,000 tin droplets/second hit by laser
The ASML EUV chip-making machine hits 50,000 tin droplets every single second with a laser, each three times, and never misses a shot.
Machine heated to 40x the sun's surface
The EUV chip machine heats each tin droplet to over 220,000 Kelvin — roughly 40 times hotter than the surface of the sun.
Chip layers never off by more than 5 atoms
The ASML machine overlays chip layers with precision never exceeding 5 atoms of error, all while parts accelerate at over 20 Gs.
Dogs who maintain healthy weight live 2.5 years longer
Research cited by The Farmer's Dog ad shows dogs who maintain a healthy weight can live up to 2.5 years longer than overweight dogs.
USAID Is Not Charity — It's a Power Tool
USAID doesn't just feed hungry children — it funds rebel groups, overseas newspapers, and even subversive rap bands. The 'charity' framing is a comfortable blanket that makes people stop asking who's really profiting.
