James Mayans proposed the T23 shortwave transmitter that later led on to the first car based telephones largely thought to be the forerunner to modern mobile phones so he was right.

Look here younguns that guy would tell us the Mayans invented cassette tapes.
Yup thenCortez beat them with the CD
Mini disc is what i always heard. Nobody knows what the hell they are anyway
In 2010 -2011 I never heard or saw any Mayan or Aztec person imply that their calendar indicated a doomsday. It was only Rogan and his guests.
On the one hand it let Mesoamerican scholars make some money and get some attention which helps interest and funding in a VERY neglected field. On the other hand it was complete pap. Total nonsense. They had 4 MAJOR calendars and plenty of minor ones. The long term calendar just hit 0000 in 2012. What this ment to The Classical Maya isn't clear, if this ment a new era philosophically or actually some kind of doomsday, who can say. We know they wouldn't celebrate certain holidays if there was famine or drought, they'd wait till a good harvest then celebrate, they weren't THAT beholden to the calendar.
I can't tell you how accurate this is.

The only motherfucker we needed to hear back then was Space Ghost. And he had his own dual-celled cohost.
I was a loser smoking pot in a room with black light posters when I was young (17/18ish) but I never believed in conspiracy theories. And Rogan is a fucking idiot.
Coast to Coast AM was fun to listen to before the 2010s
When I was a kid, Joe Rogan was hot and either he wasn't crazy back then or we weren't connected enough for me to know the truth about him.
He was a really good MMA commentator when I was younger
I miss those days.
