Different guy.
This guy's tweeted.
unidentified
His tweet's not coming through.
Oh, that might be something weird.
brian redban
I was talking about where they said the sound and video.
joe rogan
Snowflakes falling are a bit annoying.
Oh, come on.
It's Christmas.
Video and sound are okay, but the snowflakes are annoying.
Does everybody feel like the snowflakes are annoying?
It's just one dude that's kind of, you know, anal about what he looks at on the screen.
Come on, man.
It's a beautiful snowflake.
Merry Christmas, you fucks.
How you doing, everybody?
Merry Christmas, my friend.
You gonna change it?
unidentified
No, we'll just add something else.
Go with bubbles.
Let's see where bubbles is going.
Bubbles?
joe rogan
Bubbles.
unidentified
We'll add bubbles and...
There.
It's just for that, dude.
And then we'll add a clock for that guy.
This is for 2,000.
No, we don't need a clock.
joe rogan
Kill the clock.
unidentified
The clock's ridiculous.
Anyways, you can go through it, and then if you want to un-exit, we'll take him off.
joe rogan
Oh, this is good.
unidentified
Comic book.
What's comic book?
That makes you look like a comic book.
joe rogan
Oh, that's gay.
unidentified
Yeah, so then you can see, scroll down.
That's hilarious.
Bubbles and snowflakes.
joe rogan
Flame on.
Let's see what flame on does.
unidentified
That's sweet.
We're on fire.
That's good.
I don't like that either.
Hmm.
joe rogan
Glow?
Shall we glow?
No, we shall not.
brian redban
And you can change, like, sometimes they have options, so if you wanted to glow less, you could drag that.
unidentified
Oh, let's go to the Matrix.
Black helicopters!
Try to take your baby.
joe rogan
It's just the Matrix though.
unidentified
Where did I go?
Oh, this is terrible.
Yeah.
joe rogan
Terrible idea.
NASA? Ooh.
It's NASA. I'm stoned.
unidentified
Pixelate.
Pop art.
All these look gross.
Thermal?
Thought bubble?
There you go.
And then you can type in what you want right there.
Oh, I love it.
Okay, that's good.
joe rogan
How much of this shit is annoying?
unidentified
Yeah.
Probably the bubbles.
joe rogan
The bubbles are annoying, and me just sitting in front of the fucking computer, just going, how about this?
unidentified
How about that?
That's annoying.
joe rogan
There's people watching this, like...
unidentified
Why don't you show them this awesome box that somebody made?
joe rogan
Yeah, this is an awesome box that some...
Wonderful couple got me.
I'm not sure if the dude made it or the girl made it, but this is like a killer stash box that these two cool people gave me.
Well, actually the guy made it because the girl made the pipe, now I remember.
The girl's a glass blower.
But it's this wild box with like this cool Alex Gray art on it.
It's like a really trippy stash box.
And some guy made it to me and gave it to me after one of his shows.
I wish I knew the dude's name because it's very cool.
And the box has a little place where you would keep your tobacco.
And she made me this killer little pipe.
And he made...
unidentified
I'll get it away from the snowflakes.
joe rogan
So you can see.
Whoever they are, if they're watching this, highly unlikely.
Nobody's watching this.
We have 10 people in here.
unidentified
Is this show?
joe rogan
Oh, 113 already?
Wow.
unidentified
Okay.
joe rogan
This is like...
113 people is like a show at a comedy club.
Now I feel pressure.
unidentified
Isn't that weird?
joe rogan
113 people is like, we have to be entertaining.
unidentified
Let's read the Twitter feed and see what the fuck is up, bitches!
joe rogan
Let's see the stash.
How dare you?
It's not a stash.
This is medicine.
This is called Trainwreck.
You can see it right there.
And you see right there, this, if you don't know, if you're from out of town, that Red Cross and the marijuana leaf, this is medical marijuana.
So this is totally legal in the state of California.
It's pretty trippy because you drive down the street, and I was driving down the street yesterday, and we were looking for places Where we could see how many places are near my house.
There's like fucking 20 places within a couple miles of my house that I can go.
And a lot of them, they just say collective on it.
They'll say West Hills Collective or fucking Dick Street Collective, whatever.
And they'll have a Red Cross.
And that's all you need to know.
And everybody knows that it's weed.
They have green letters.
Everybody uses green letters.
And they're everywhere.
And you go...
And if you have one of these right here, this is Brian's.
Let me see this.
This is a real, legitimate recommendation from a doctor.
And this, all you do is you go to a doctor and you say, marijuana helps me sleep, whatever.
And the doctor will give you one of these legitimate recommendations, a legal prescription in the state of California for marijuana.
And then you go to these places, and some of them you can pay with a fucking credit card.
It's the trippiest thing ever.
You buy weed with a credit card, and you're like...
What year is this?
It's 2009. But the rest of the country is still living in the dark ages.
Colorado is catching up.
Colorado has a bunch of places now.
Colorado actually is going to open up a medical marijuana restaurant.
And they're going to open up some 30,000 square foot weed superstore in Boulder.
It's fucking gigantic.
It's like three stories.
unidentified
Isn't Texas even doing like a vote soon?
joe rogan
Yes.
Yeah, well, a lot of people are trying.
A lot of states are trying.
Massachusetts recently decriminalized it.
They don't have any medical law yet there, but now it's completely not legal, but it's not illegal.
It's a weird thing.
You're not allowed to sell it.
Possession is one thing, but selling it...
Here's a different thing.
You're still not allowed to sell it.
Which is fine.
Let people fucking grow it.
You know, really, Hunter S. Thompson had it right.
Hunter S. Thompson, when he was running for sheriff, he was saying that no drug good enough to be taken should be allowed to be sold.
That was like a law that he was going to pass in Aspen.
And he was going to call Aspen Fat City.
He was going to change the name of Aspen to Fat City.
He was going to tear up all the roads and sod the streets.
So it was all dirt roads everywhere.
unidentified
And he fucking lost by 400 votes.
joe rogan
It's only 400 votes.
If he was the sheriff of Aspen, that would have been fucking badass.
But one of the things that he wanted to have was that Any drug that you can take that is good enough to be taken should be legal.
And he's fucking totally right.
You know, if people want weed, people should trade things for weed.
You know what?
Fuck it.
You should be able to buy it if you want to.
But the problem with that is, you know, then you're going to get some really unscrupulous people that just want to sell pot.
You know, they just want to sell it.
And they want to make profit off of it.
And then it becomes like anything else.
They try to cut out the competition.
Like one of the weed stores that I go to, there's a guy right next door to him.
That opened up, like, I'm talking, like, right next door.
Like, there's maybe, like, one storefront between two weed stores.
And the guy's pissed off, and he's, fuck, this guy's a dick.
That's totally not in the spirit of, you know, what marijuana's supposed to be.
I mean, you're not supposed to be opening up right next door to a dude and killing his competition, but he shouldn't be like, fuck that dude, you know, what's that dude doing?
He's just another dude selling weed.
Yeah, he shouldn't be doing it right next to you.
Yes, correct, but don't be an asshole.
You're fucking selling weed, pal.
You know?
You ain't fixing the world.
Hunter S. Thompson is my hero, and I'm planting full sleeves of Ralph Steedman art.
Are you really?
Wow, that's a fucking good idea.
Stedman?
Stedman or Steedman?
I forget how you say his name.
Is it Steedman?
Fucking...
I love his art.
His art perfectly goes like...
What's the word I'm looking for?
Compliments.
Hunter S. Thompson's writing.
That guy just fucking nailed it.
From the very first time they worked together, when they did that, the Kentucky Derby is decadent and depraved, from that story all the way on to Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, that Ralph guy, he fucking nailed it.
He was hanging with Hunter.
He totally got the vibe that Hunter was writing.
He totally got where Hunter was seeing things.
You know, I just started getting into Hunter S. Thompson really recently.
I was, I guess, maybe a year and a half ago, I was staying in a hotel room in Seattle, and I ordered up Gonzo on the pay-per-view in the hotel.
Just because nothing else looked good, I said, fuck it, I'll just check this out, and I immediately became a Hunter S. Thompson fan.
I started reading his books and I'm reading the one I'm reading now.
unidentified
The one I'm reading now is this one.
joe rogan
Great shark hunt.
It's great.
It's got everything in there.
It's got a bunch of his different shit.
Fear and Loathing's in there.
The Kentucky Derby's in there.
A lot of great stories.
Like a collection of his works.
unidentified
The quintessential world.
joe rogan
Need to open grow homes with retail fronts.
unidentified
Yeah, man.
joe rogan
Keep it all easy.
That's what I'm talking about.
If you've never been to a grow room before, I've only been to one grow room.
It was pretty interesting.
There was a place in LA where they, it was a full service place.
You could get a prescription there, you could get weed there, and you could, what you coming to see here, fellas?
Take a picture with me.
Hi.
It could get weed there, and they grew it.
So there was this back room where they had all these lights set up.
It was pretty fucking trippy, man.
It was a big-ass room, and it was filled with these plants, and they were all lit up.
And you walk through the plants, and yeah, they were alive.
They're living plants, but it felt like they were conscious.
Maybe it was because I was really high.
That might be.
But, maybe because I was really high, I was able to tune into it, but it was a very weird sensation.
It felt like I was around living entities.
It didn't just feel like they were plants.
It felt like they were alive.
It was very strange.
It was cool.
I thought about it.
I was like, that'd be cool to have something like that in my house.
But that's pretty illegal.
Federally, at least.
If they caught you with a bunch of plants in your house, they'd be like, hey, bitch, what are you doing with those?
unidentified
You're allowed to have one.
joe rogan
Yeah, we're allowed to have a bunch.
You can have like up to six plants.
unidentified
You're actually allowed to have more because you have that extra special.
joe rogan
Oh, that's right.
I have an exemption because I'm a fucking real stoner.
Is two of these fucking with us here?
unidentified
No, but you can totally turn off that second one.
joe rogan
This one?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Sorry folks, getting organized.
This is the first time I've...
I'm always threatening to do some shit like this and I never follow through.
Why were the UFC ring girls fired?
I do not know.
They were very nice.
unidentified
All of them were?
joe rogan
Two girls were fired.
They left Ariane, who is a very nice person as well.
I've been friends with her for years.
She's a super cool chick.
unidentified
And hot.
joe rogan
Very hot.
Probably classically beautiful.
It doesn't get any more beautiful, her face.
Very nice person, too.
You can follow her on Twitter.
She's on Twitter.
unidentified
Is the one with the fake wig still working?
joe rogan
Why are you talking about fake wig?
How dare you?
First of all, how dare you?
How dare you?
Fuck with her whole career.
The one with the fake wig.
unidentified
She has a fake wig, right?
joe rogan
Which one are you talking about?
unidentified
The one with the big hair.
The 70s hair.
She looks like she has 70s hair.
Damn.
She just started, like, maybe...
joe rogan
Oh, the blonde one?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Her name was Logan.
She did not have fake hair.
That was her hair.
unidentified
That was real?
Yeah.
joe rogan
She just had some curly hair and that's how she wears it.
Very nice girl.
unidentified
I thought the Atlanta Housewives thing, you know how wigs are back, so I thought that was one of those.
joe rogan
You might be right.
You might be right.
You ever watch that Housewives of Atlanta show?
unidentified
Oh!
joe rogan
There's nothing like, first of all, there's nothing like white girls around black girls when they start talking black.
I love that shit.
I love when white guys do it.
I love when white girls do it.
To me, it's just like watching chimps in the zoo when they fuck each other, when they go crazy.
It's like, wow, this is weird.
This is interesting.
When white people around black people, when they start acting black, There's no better example than the Steven Seagal show.
Holy shit, have you seen when he does that?
He pulls up to a group of black people, he's like, what up cuz?
What's going on?
Oh, dude.
Much love, much love.
He talks black, like really condescendingly.
And then, you know, when he's in the car, when the camera's on, he'll talk like Buddhist.
He says like stupid shit, you know.
The one monk was walking with the younger monk, and the younger monk says, what is the way of Buddha?
unidentified
No way.
joe rogan
And so the older monk throws him in the water.
unidentified
Deep.
joe rogan
Like what?
He talks like he's two totally different dudes.
He talks like the Steven Seagal who's like the mystical man and the Steven Seagal who is this fucking strange cop in Louisiana.
He has a southern accent that he uses part of the time.
Part of the time.
And then occasionally he drops the southern accent and he goes with a full-on black accent like when he's in the hood.
But Steven Seagal is a fucking cop.
Like, for real.
Like, he puts on a bulletproof vest, he gets in his fucking car, and they go fight crime!
unidentified
And it's like, who is letting him do this?
joe rogan
Like, how crazy is it that all you have to have is a couple fucking movies?
unidentified
Have you seen his website?
joe rogan
Oh, it's genius.
Yeah.
It's awesome.
Is it StevenSeagal.com?
unidentified
I think so.
You've seen Jim Carrey's website.
joe rogan
Yeah, Jim Carrey's website is dope.
unidentified
Jim Carrey has the most amazing website in the whole entire world.
joe rogan
It's pretty cool.
unidentified
I've never seen a better website.
joe rogan
Yeah, it's very unique.
brian redban
When I see websites like that, I wish I still tripped on shrooms all the time.
unidentified
Because I would just sit in his website all day.
joe rogan
Yeah, no shit.
unidentified
Beyond the Mind's Eye.
joe rogan
Yeah, the Sakhal show is fucking cool.
unidentified
Oh, what the fuck?
joe rogan
He's been attacked.
This, behind me, this sign, is a point of controversy from the man show when I hosted it.
I know it was terrible.
Listen, we thought it was terrible too.
We got fucked.
When Doug Stanhope and I went to do that show, they lied to us.
They told us, you can do nudity, we'll blur it out, you can swear, we'll beep it out, we want you to go crazy, we want to get sued, it's going to be great publicity.
And then when we started doing it...
First of all, Janet Jackson pulled her nipple out and everybody went fucking crazy.
unidentified
Is that shit crazy?
We're still feeling the effects from that.
joe rogan
It's amazing.
Like, literally, television got set back a decade because of Janet Jackson's nipple.
And the big thing was that they were showing it during the dinner hour and children were watching.
Well, isn't a woman's nipple?
Are we that fucking crazy?
It's not like she had a rifle up her pussy.
It's a fucking nipple.
You know?
That's where babies feed.
Is it that offensive?
unidentified
That's where babies feed.
joe rogan
It is, man.
It's the first...
I mean, talking about it being during the dinner hour, somebody had a really good point when this happened.
He said, isn't that like the first meal?
That's like the dinner.
Yeah, I mean, breasts.
unidentified
Yeah, you see that since you were a kid.
joe rogan
Well, you know what?
Especially having kids of my own.
Now, when I see Mrs. Rogan make fucking milk with her tits, and I'm like...
unidentified
Deadly.
joe rogan
The tits are dead to me.
I don't suck on them anymore.
But what's more important is that you look at them and you say, that's like...
Those are...
That's like where food comes from.
It's not offensive.
But anyway, this thing behind us, Make Me Hard, this is how fucking stupid they were when we were doing this show.
There was an argument, and we came up with a game show called Make Me Hard.
And what it was is the guy would be strapped into a chair, and he would have this box on his dick, and a light would go off on the box.
And the light would indicate that he has a boner.
And so we'd have like midgets eating bananas and shit, and oh, he's getting hard.
You know, it was kind of corny.
But what we really, the reason why we did it is, one of the gags was we had this really hot chick, and she climbs all over him, the audience is going fucking crazy, they're going nuts, and this really hot chick, at the end of this, she pulls her tits out, he's sucking on her tits, whipped cream, the whole deal, and then she pulls her panties off and she's got a dick!
And the audience goes crazy.
She was a tranny.
And I mean, I've never heard a bigger wave of disappointment than when this tranny pulls out this dick.
And she was taking all kinds of hormones.
So it was like a dick that had been poisoned.
It looked like dead.
It was like dark.
It was dark and shriveled up like it burned.
Like chemically burned.
Like it was like a little dead monkey dick.
But it's smelling.
I don't know.
And she pulled it out, and she starts, like, swinging it around, and the fucking audience went crazy.
And the guy sitting in the chair just had this look in his face of horror.
Well, they approved all that, but what they wouldn't approve is the name of the show, Make Me Hard.
They said that we had to name the show, Make Me Stiff.
Like, this was, like, an argument.
Like, for real, like, there's a difference.
Like, they mean the same thing.
It's just Make Me Stiff doesn't sound...
It doesn't sound quite as funny.
It really doesn't matter.
I mean, what's the difference?
But the point was that they were willing to argue this.
It was a big deal for them.
And that shows you how these shows work.
The best shows, like stand-up comedians, like if you take a guy like Dave Chappelle or, you know, Cat Williams or anybody, any good comic that you like, they write all their own shit.
They write it.
They perform it.
They're saying shit that they think is funny.
They are the producer.
They are the performer.
They're the whole ball of wax.
They're the writer.
They're everything.
And that's why you get a pure product, because you get a product that's from this dude's mind.
Well, what happens is when you start working on a television show, these people that are working for the network, somebody has to work for the network, and you would assume that the people at the very top of the food chain are the perfect people for the job.
But that's not true.
They're just people that somehow or another got that fucking job.
And a lot of them, they like to think that they know what's good.
They like to think they have an eye for it, and they always want to put their footprint on it.
They want to put their handprint on it.
They want to change something.
I think the background should be blue.
We're going to ruin the whole show with this red background.
And they'll go crazy and they'll fucking fight over this.
Why?
Because they want to be the ones that say, well, it was me that decided for the blue background.
If they didn't go with that blue background, the show was shit, am I right?
And then the wife will agree with them and they all get fucking pilled up together.
This is what they argued over.
Make me hard.
So this is...
I got to keep this sign because it was useless.
Because we had to change the sign to make me stiff.
Like, it's okay to pull out your fucking dick.
It's okay to have a guy strapped to a chair thinking a chick is on top of him and this chick pulls out this wrinkled, poisoned, black dick.
That's okay, but you can't call it hard.
You have to call it stiff.
It's really that dumb.
It seems like I would be exaggerating, but that's why Dave Chappelle walked away from The Chappelle Show.
It's just because when you're a comic, having somebody else tell you what's good and what's bad.
There was one of the things we did in the Man Show where we wanted Joey Diaz.
If you don't know who Joey Diaz is, his Twitter is madflavor, one word, @madflavor, and Joey Diaz is one of the funniest dudes I've ever met in my life.
He's like one of the funniest human beings to ever live.
And Joey weighs like 350 pounds.
He's down to 300. But back then he was like 350. And he would always get naked.
We get naked all the time.
Get naked on stage.
And his balls literally look like grapefruit in an old lady's panty-o.
I mean they're fucking ridiculous.
And he doesn't shave them, but they have no hair on them.
Like he has no hair on his arms, no hair on his chest.
And he's fat as fuck.
And we wanted to have him introduce us at the beginning of every show.
He kicks open this door and comes out yelling, let's get this party started!
And his balls are jingling.
And it's fucking hilarious.
First of all, it's hilarious because Joey's hilarious.
Doug Stanhope said Joey Diaz could read the phone book and it'd be funnier than most of the shit you see on late night TV. And that's totally true.
But they were like, that's not funny.
What's funny about this?
This is not funny.
No one's going to laugh.
It was like a big argument.
And I said, listen, let's do two openings.
We'll do one regular opening, and then we'll do one opening with Joey.
Well, we did the opening with Joey, and they went fucking crazy.
Of course.
Everybody was screaming and laughing and yelling.
And it set the tone.
The tone that we wanted to have.
Like, this is, we're just trying to have fun.
We're not, you know, we're not trying to be relevant.
We're just trying to have something that people enjoy.
Let's have fun.
Let's have a fucking good time.
But it was almost impossible to try to have that good time when you have other people that aren't necessarily funny at all.
And they're putting their input into what should be in this comedy show.
So Doug and I got fucked.
But the most important thing is that we had a good time and we came.
Well, we were always good friends, but we became great friends doing that.
Alright, what else?
What's going on here?
The snowflakes.
What, you don't like the snowflakes?
They're dragging the video stream down.
Oh, you know what?
You might be right, dude.
The Snowflex might be fucking us.
unidentified
No more Snowflex.
joe rogan
Is that better everybody?
unidentified
Oh I'm sure it's better.
joe rogan
My internet's gay.
unidentified
You need to upgrade that.
I can't believe you have...
You haven't done that.
joe rogan
I live.
unidentified
You used to be on top of the game.
joe rogan
I live in a...
I know.
He used to have the fastest internet back when internet was, you know, 28K, 56K. He used to have ISDN? No, I asked the ISDN first, then I got a T1 line installed in my house.
unidentified
T1. That's like where I'm 56k.
joe rogan
This is for business lines.
I mean, they only had it at businesses.
And I live way the fuck outside of LA. And it took a long time for us to get DSL and shit out here.
I couldn't get cable.
I used to have to get satellite, DirecTV.
So the only thing they had that was really fast was this thing called the T1 line.
But it was $1,000 a month.
Back when I was on news radio, I was totally new rich.
I was like, okay.
unidentified
Bam!
joe rogan
So when that happened, I was like, okay, let's do it.
Thousand bucks a month.
Come on, let's do it.
And so I got this crazy, super fast internet pipe installed in my house.
But now I got this gay DSL that's just not very powerful.
I need to upgrade.
I'm going to get some of that AT&T U-verse lovin'.
What else we got here?
Much better?
Is that much better?
Thank you.
unidentified
Good.
Awesome.
Yeah, because once you get that, then...
That's why I asked you to get Wi-Fi.
joe rogan
Check the dude in the background for a pulse.
Oh, he might be a vampire.
unidentified
Team Jacob!
joe rogan
What the fuck is going on with America?
We have rock stars that don't fuck, right?
The Jonas Brothers.
We got vampires that don't bite anybody.
We have pop stars that can't go to sleep so they get literally sedated every night.
unidentified
We have golfers getting fucked.
joe rogan
We got America that's freaking out because an ugly rich guy is getting a lot of pussy.
He's cheating on his wife.
He's cheating on his wife.
He's a black athlete.
Is that really a big shot?
It's ugly.
It's amazing that a guy like that, all he has to do is be good at something and acquire a bunch of numbers and he can fuck all these girls.
He's not even paying these girls.
It's incredible.
Because one of the girls was asking for money and he was like, I can't help you.
Like, he's not even paying them.
So he's this, like, billionaire dude, and he's banging these cocktail waitresses, and they're struggling with their bills, and he won't even fork over any cash.
unidentified
Like, how hard would it be for Tiger Woods to just slip her ten grand?
joe rogan
You know?
What's the big deal?
She lets you fuck her.
Like, do you have a mirror in your house?
Like, you're getting something out of this, man.
You get to fuck her?
And all he wanted was just give him dick.
Like, that's all you get.
You get dick.
You don't get no money.
On one hand, I gotta say, the dude had a very strong pimp hand.
I kind of respect that.
But on the other hand, I feel like maybe she'd give her some money.
Maybe she wouldn't be making a fucking tell-all book if you were really nice to her and you gave her the money that she needed.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Tiger is handsome.
So says gay man.
Synthesis.
Tiger's handsome?
Okay, you know what?
He's not ugly.
But he's not like...
He's not Jacob.
unidentified
He looks kind of like a bug.
joe rogan
He's not a handsome man.
He's unfortunate looking.
I mean, he's very well built.
He's very athletic.
He's obviously very driven.
He's got a lot of attractive qualities.
Uber successful.
But you can't say that he's...
I mean, who's classic?
unidentified
You don't like your guy's black.
joe rogan
Sure I do.
If it was like that Tyrese dude, that actor dude, that's a very handsome man.
That's a handsome motherfucker.
If you found out that he was banging 16 chicks across the country, you'd be like, that's it?
Only 16?
Figured he had fucking 10 in each town and he was plowing.
That guy's a stud.
You know, but Tiger doesn't look like that.
Tiger doesn't look like a male model.
He looks like an unfortunate mix of ethnicities.
Babe, you know, whatever.
unidentified
Whatever.
joe rogan
Hey, look, I'm that dude from Crawl.
Will you choke Red Band out, please?
unidentified
Look, I'm that dude from Crawl.
joe rogan
Oh, that's mean.
unidentified
You know the movie Crawl?
The Cyclops?
joe rogan
You know what's the fucking shit that, uh, Pan's Labor Ninth?
The thing that had the eyes on his hands?
That Guillermo del Toro dude was pretty badass, but I gotta say, his book sucks.
The Strain.
Really good book for, like, The first hundred pages.
And then they got tired of writing it.
And just finished it.
Like real sloppy.
Like really bad action scenes.
They're killing the vampires.
Like so easy.
It was really stupid.
It was really good in the beginning.
I was like, what a great premise.
The fucking airplane lands.
Everybody in the plane is dead.
They can't figure out what's going on.
And they all turn into vampires.
It takes over the whole city.
It's pretty fucking badass.
This one vampire infected the whole plane.
But then it just turns into dog shit.
Most of his 16 hoes aren't that attractive.
This man is saying that that guy was not banging pretty girls.
He had a few stragglers in there, but overall, those chicks are pretty goddamn hot.
unidentified
Better than what that person's getting.
joe rogan
This guy right here?
He might be getting, you never know.
But, I mean, some of them, like that Rachel Uchitel chick, that chick's hot as fuck.
And then the other one that was on the reality TV, she's pretty goddamn hot too.
He had some pretty attractive women in his stable.
unidentified
What's Joey Diaz's Twitter again?
joe rogan
Mad Flavor.
unidentified
Here, see this is one of the things that we can do.
brian redban
You can hit this text, hit add a new text, and so if anyone ever asks you, you can just type in.
joe rogan
Oh, here we go.
I'll tell you a follow.
unidentified
And Redband.
I don't even have a thousand yet.
joe rogan
You don't?
unidentified
No.
I never pimp my Twitter.
joe rogan
Oh yeah, you guys gotta follow Redband.
unidentified
And then you can shrink the size and...
What's the size?
Right below.
joe rogan
Font size right here?
unidentified
Yeah.
Yeah, if you just drag the thing left and right.
joe rogan
There we go.
unidentified
And then you can move the box, like maybe move it to the top or something.
That's wherever the location is, or the bottom.
It doesn't want to move.
You just click on the box and then drag it.
No, no.
Do the other way.
joe rogan
You wouldn't do it.
unidentified
Really?
Hit position and then just drag...
It won't let me...
No, that black box.
joe rogan
No, it won't let me grab...
Oh, there we go.
unidentified
You son of a bitch.
joe rogan
Son of a fucking bitch.
unidentified
You son of a bitch.
joe rogan
Alright.
unidentified
We're golden.
joe rogan
News Radio or Fear Factor?
Which show was more disgusting to work on?
unidentified
Ha ha ha ha.
joe rogan
Fear Factor, for sure.
But Fear Factor paid more money.
But News Radio was way more fun.
News Radio was, uh...
Newsradio was like a privilege.
The whole time I was doing it, I couldn't believe that I was on a TV show.
I didn't really do much acting before that.
I acted on one other sitcom that I got from doing stand-up comedy.
In 1994, I'd only been doing comedy six years.
So, it's like, I was still pretty raw as a comedian.
And then all of a sudden, I'm on this fucking TV show.
I was like, whoa.
And then I'm on the show, not only am I on a TV show, I'm on a TV show with Phil Hartman.
And I was like, this is fucking nuts.
You know, and Dave Foley and Andy Dick.
I mean, it was a pretty incredible job.
But Fear Factor was just about getting paid.
Getting that paid.
unidentified
Get that paper.
joe rogan
Just like King Mo says.
unidentified
Get that paper.
joe rogan
Brittany Murphy thoughts.
You know what, man?
I don't have any thoughts until I find out what killed her.
You know, I mean, everybody says that it's drugs.
I don't know if it's drugs.
I don't think the husband doesn't want to have an autopsy.
Kind of strange, you know?
unidentified
Really strange.
Especially since, obviously, they were going to do one anyways because it's kind of like, why did she die?
joe rogan
Yeah, unless you killed her.
I mean, why doesn't that guy want an autopsy?
If it was a murder case, then of course he would want an autopsy, right?
The only way you die of natural causes when you're 32 years old is if you have a serious health condition or if you take something that kills you, which is pretty natural.
unidentified
I've read that a lot of her close friends stopped hanging out with her when she got married to that guy because of him.
So there's something with this guy.
joe rogan
Well, I've had some friends that have had some serious drug problems in the past.
I had a friend that died from drugs.
My best friend when I lived in New York.
And he used to do heroin.
He used to do crack.
But mostly heroin.
And he had manageable problems with coke and stuff like that.
Until he got on heroin.
And heroin just fucking sealed his fate.
That shit just gets in your blood.
It becomes a part of you.
I mean, I've seen people jonesing for coke.
I've seen people jones for a lot of shit.
But there's something really weird about watching people jones for heroin.
I mean, it's like they need water.
Like they're in the desert and they need water.
And when people get involved in this, and apparently that's what a lot of the Hollywood kids are doing.
A lot of them are doing fucking heroin.
You know?
I don't know what it's all about, but it's pretty spooky, man.
unidentified
Real alcoholics are pretty spooky too.
When you wake up and you're 90, the first thing you drink is a beer at noon.
joe rogan
I've met a lot of alcoholics.
I know a lot of alcoholics.
I know a lot of functioning alcoholics and I know a lot of people that are just...
You know, just flat out drunks.
Especially comics.
You know, I've known a lot of comics that have had real alcohol problems.
Because they get free booze and they're out in clubs every night.
And, you know, alcohol gives you a liquid courage.
And if you're performing every night, you might be drinking every night.
If you're drinking every night, you're going to have a fucking problem.
Eventually that shit's going to grab you.
Conspiracy theories are only theories until proven fact.
There are real conspiracies.
Most conspiracy theories are stupid because people want to find the mystery shit.
They want to find Bigfoot.
Meanwhile, there's a bunch of real live animals that are way more interesting than Bigfoot.
If we found Bigfoot...
Bigfoot would be in a fucking cage right next to the monkeys at the zoo if we found them.
If we really caught them, they would be like, look, there's a big ape.
You know, we got the short ape, there's a big 10-foot tall ape.
Nobody would give a shit.
But, like, killer whales, if killer whales didn't exist and there was some animal that people talked about in legend that was as smart as people, lived in the ocean, but breathed air...
And had to come up for air and doesn't eat human beings, saves human beings, but kills everything else, including great white sharks.
A super intelligent being that's gigantic and murderous and runs the ocean.
People would say, fuck that.
That's crazy.
That's not real.
That can't be real.
But it is real.
We just know it's real.
And because of the fact that we know it's real, it's not as interesting to people.
People love mysteries.
We love discovering new shit.
Like the Loch Ness Monster.
Loch Ness Monster doesn't do shit.
It doesn't kill anybody.
It doesn't do anything.
Every now and then it pokes its head out of the water.
And everybody's like, whoa, I saw it!
And everybody gets crazy.
You know, meanwhile, there's fucking crocodiles that are real.
They're alive.
They're gigantic.
They're like fucking 30 feet long.
They can hold their breath underwater for like hours at a time.
They don't have to eat for a year.
I mean, crocodiles are fucking crazy.
They're literally dinosaurs that are still alive today.
They were exactly the same way as they are now hundreds of millions of years ago.
Nobody gives a fuck.
Everybody's looking for the Loch Ness Monster.
There's something that people really, really get into when it comes to conspiracies.
And I've been guilty of it myself.
I used to really be into UFOs and all kinds of stuff like that until I kind of realized what I'm into is the unknown.
What I'm into is somehow or another is if there's something that's unknown and I figure it out and I find it and I know it's proven and true, then somehow or another you gain something from that.
I guess you do to a certain extent if you can really prove it, but mostly what it is is this weird desire that human beings have for things to prove things.
So it's a very weird thing.
Conspiracy theories.
Everybody's always looking for all sorts of conspiracies that aren't real.
I know this also from working where I've had people like...
Like working with the UFC, people are always talking about the UFC wants this and Joe Rogan said that because the UFC told them to say it.
The UFC never tells me to say shit.
They literally never tell me what to say.
My job's the craziest job ever.
I'm literally the guy who speaks for this multi-hundred million dollar sports company and nobody tells me what to do.
I show up and they tell me what the fights are and I just do it.
I try to be professional as possible.
I try not to swear.
Occasionally, you know, I'll slip up.
With that, but I'm trying not to swear.
But all I'm trying to do is do commentary on the fights.
The only thing they've ever told me what to do is when they were trying to buy Pride, Pride fucked them over and there's this big thing going on back and forth.
They said, please don't mention Pride by name.
You can mention all the fighters, but don't mention Pride by name because they didn't want to give advertisement to that organization.
Which is totally legitimate.
Totally makes sense to me.
But they don't tell me, hype this guy up.
Talk about that guy.
Don't mention this guy's name.
And make sure you tell everybody, this guy, this is the guy we want to win.
There's none of that.
There's none of that.
Zero.
So I know that's a conspiracy that people think is real.
That's not real.
I know there's a lot of other ones that people think it's real, but there's ones that are real.
brian redban
Chemtrails are the ones that I've recently turned on.
joe rogan
Yes.
unidentified
That whole thing you talked about, the hair.
joe rogan
Yeah, there's a lot of people that would look at those things in the sky and go, what is that?
What are they doing?
Well, I talked to a pilot, and I asked a pilot about it, and he gave me a very simple explanation about how water going through those jets, those jet engines at a certain altitude with certain You know, weather conditions, certain moisture.
unidentified
It probably has like humidity conditions.
Yeah.
joe rogan
There's barometric pressure.
There's all sorts of factors, but if it's the right factors, there's enough water in it, it'll create clouds.
Like literally, jets create clouds.
So all these people are like, man, they're making clouds.
Well, that's what happens when jets fly through the fucking air.
The idea that they would be spraying cities, poisoning people, it's like, don't they live on the ground too?
They're spraying themselves?
unidentified
They're spraying their families and stuff, I'm sure.
joe rogan
Do they have shots?
They're taking shots so that they don't get...
brian redban
Not to say that they don't experiment with weather, but the majority of the lines you see in the air definitely...
joe rogan
There's legitimate concerns about that HAARP program, where they're fucking doing things to the ionosphere.
For sure they're experimenting with weather, because we know that China has successfully created rain.
You know, they've done successful weather operations.
So there are absolutely real conspiracies, but there's a lot of goofy ones, man.
And the problem is, it's very difficult for people to, once they made a decision about something, like JFK, you know, Oswald acted alone, and people just get that in their head, Oswald acted alone.
It's very difficult for them to look at contrary evidence and take it into consideration.
It's almost like there's a competition going on.
They want their side to be right.
And people have a real hard time...
And our friend that we were talking about with the chemtrails didn't want to...
We were having an argument with him.
I was saying, listen man, you don't know...
The research that I've done, I'm like, you're watching YouTube clips?
Is that what constitutes research these days?
And he was convinced that chemtrails are real.
And I'm like, they make no sense.
And the other thing the pilot had that was a good point was he's a pilot.
He's like...
Believe me, man.
Pilots would be talking about it.
It wouldn't be something that's that easy.
You could just hire a guy to fucking spray every city in the world every day of the week, and they're going to keep their mouth shut.
brian redban
Plus, all these reporters that are getting pissed off at oil businesses for ripping off customers, what if you were getting sprayed with poison?
unidentified
Wouldn't that reporter be a crazy research reporter?
joe rogan
It's silly.
I think chemtrails are a silly one.
Not to say they haven't sprayed people before.
Not to say that there haven't been some experiments where they've sprayed certain bacteria or certain colds over an area to see if they can get people sick.
Why not?
We know there's a thing called Operation Midnight Climax that in the 1950s the CIA ran fucking brothels.
They ran whorehouses in New York and San Francisco and they ran these things and what they did was they ran the whorehouse so they can do LSD experiments on people.
And so they unknowingly gave these Johns acid.
So these poor guys would go in there just to try to give their, you know, their hard-earned money.
You know, they probably, you know, didn't even have much.
Paid just whatever they had to get their dick sucked.
And they're getting dosed with acid.
Freaking the fuck out.
Probably already feeling super guilty.
Probably half of them were married and they're just cheating on their wives and they felt guilty about that.
And then they're dosed up with acid and dealing with the reality of the situation.
I mean, we know the CIA did that.
This is information that was released in the Freedom of Information Act.
You look it up.
Google it.
It's pretty interesting.
It's called Operation Midnight Climax.
And it's just one of many experiments that the CIA did unknowingly on American citizens.
Taxpayers.
And they've done it forever.
And that's how they do business.
And guaranteed that if they did this back in 1950, they're doing something like it now.
It's not like they changed.
It's not like...
All these conspiracies, all these things that the government's done, like Operation Northwoods, Operation Northwoods was a thing that they proposed in the 1960s, 1962, and this was signed by the Joint Chiefs of Staff and then vetoed by Kennedy.
What it was was they were trying to get people enthusiastic about a war against Cuba.
So they were planning on blowing up American ships, like real ships.
They were going to have mock plane crashes where they were going to blow up drones in the air and they were going to blame it on the Cubans.
We're going to say that all these people died and they were going to take the passengers and put them under false aliases and have pilots under false aliases.
And that pilot was going to give maydays and say he got shot down.
Look that up too.
It's really interesting.
It's called Operation Northwoods.
And this was a real plan that they had drafted in the 1960s.
That the Department of Defense drafted up and the Joint Chiefs of Staff signed and Kennedy vetoed it.
And Kennedy was like, "You guys are fucking crazy.
Like, what are you doing?
Like, you're gonna fake attacks in order to get people to want to go to war with Cuba?" And that's probably one of the reasons why they killed Kennedy.
You know, who knows?
But these are real conspiracies.
They're real.
We know that things are conspired on.
The real problem with conspiracies is nobody wants to look stupid.
And when you say that you believe something, like you believe in alien abduction, or you believe the government killed Kennedy, or you believe anything nutty.
We didn't land on the moon.
When you say you don't believe nutty things, people just automatically label you a kook.
Instead of looking at it and going, okay, what has the government done?
They really have dosed people with LSD without their knowledge?
They really set up whorehouses?
The CIA did this?
Really?
They really were faking attack.
They were planning on faking attacks.
josh olin
American civilians and blowing up American ships and blaming on the Cubans, they really were gonna attack Guantanamo Bay?
joe rogan
Attack soldiers!
They were gonna fuckin' shoot mortars into Guantanamo Bay.
They were gonna kill American soldiers and blame it on the Cubans and get us to attack them.
That's all real.
So, you gotta keep your eyes open, you gotta keep your mind open.
And the problem with conspiracy theories is people choose one side or the other.
Either there's a conspiracy or ridiculous and I'm not believing this, Or they go, well, the conspiracies are real.
And it's usually not that black or white.
It usually takes a lot of looking at before you get to the real truth.
And the real truth is fucking sketchy.
I mean, it's real hard to have information about a lot of things in this world.
As much information as we have on the internet, there's still a lot of shit that you don't get.
Like, Bill Maher Twittered something today that I was like, this guy doesn't even...
He's incorrect.
This has all been disproven.
He Twittered something, an anti-Christian thing about Mithra.
I was like, how funny is this?
Bill Maher isn't even doing his research.
He's twittering something that everybody says about Mithra.
But it was disproven.
unidentified
He gets his news by the paper.
joe rogan
Here it is.
Mithra, born 1225, 12 disciples, died, rose on the third day, performed miracles, known as a lamb.
The way, the truth, the light, 600 years before Jesus Christ.
I see what his point is.
His point is what he's trying to say.
It's like, hey, there was no Jesus Christ.
Fable, this myth, has existed in many different forms.
But the Mithra thing is totally wrong.
Because the Mithra thing, if you just Google Zeitgeist, the movie Debunked, this guy gets really into the mythology behind, you know, in Zeitgeist.
They talk about how Jesus really is basically the same story as all these different stories before.
And one of them was Mithra.
And, you know, so Bill Maher quoting on his thing that...
Mithra was born 12, 25, had 12 disciples.
Well, if you go to this other site, this guy seems like a really intelligent guy.
I don't know if he's right.
But he's talking about, but he's researched it at least.
He's talking about the myths and the legends of Mithra are numerous in account and spans several different cultures.
He says, I ran into a brick wall of sorts trying to track down any of this information.
I cannot find any evidence of his birthday being December 25th.
The only dates that correspond to him are Are his festival on October 8th and another on September 12th through 16th.
A cattle pairing festival October 12th through 16th.
There's absolutely no evidence anywhere that he had 12 disciples or 12 of anything for that matter.
No Mithras scholars seem to know about it.
He was not born to a virgin but rather out of solid rock.
So, I mean, it's really...
They're really interesting.
There's not enough research of information.
People don't really look these things up.
They quote a little bit of something they saw on the internet.
And that's the problem.
There's no way you can have access to everything.
There's no way you can know about everything.
It's impossible.
So there's going to be a lot of shit that you're talking about, you form an opinion on, when you're really just talking out of your ass.
And that's where most people are when it comes to conspiracy theories.
With everything.
With everything.
People talk out of their ass.
Because people have a huge vested interest in being correct about things.
People hate being foolish.
They hate being the dumb one.
They hate being uninformed.
People love correcting people.
They love, like, your is you apostrophe R-E, as in you are.
Okay, you're a fucking awesome dude because you spotted that guy.
Meanwhile, I do that all the time.
brian redban
That's kind of why I like the iPhone, how it always fucks up my texting and stuff like that.
Because then people are starting to slowly less do it to me now because everyone's doing it.
unidentified
Right, right, right.
joe rogan
Conspiracy theory with Jesse Ventura.
I haven't seen it.
Brian didn't like it?
unidentified
It was alright.
I don't know.
joe rogan
Jesse Ventura is one of those dudes that thinks because he's a Navy SEAL, or he's a former Navy SEAL, that he has inside information.
I'm a former neighbor seal.
unidentified
That Opie and Anthony thing just really got to me on both sides.
joe rogan
Yeah, you were upset at Jim Norton.
unidentified
Well, I was on both sides that got me upset.
I thought they both handled it.
joe rogan
It's hard having a fucking intelligent conversation at 7 o'clock in the morning, goddammit.
Whenever I do those morning radio shows, I'm always like, what am I even talking about?
I'm always half out of it.
Mumbling and shit.
It's hard to wake the fuck up.
It's like, You have to drink coffee if you're going to do one of those morning radio shows.
You really can't go in sober.
You've got to have a little bit of that and a cup of coffee.
unidentified
Bang!
joe rogan
Mothra or Rodan?
I was more of a Rodan fan.
I thought Mothra was kind of a faggy monster.
unidentified
Yeah, me too.
joe rogan
A big, stupid moth.
That's a dumbass monster.
unidentified
Who cares about moths?
joe rogan
Yeah, I mean, why not have a giant roach?
People hate roaches.
Roaches are scary as fuck.
Why do you want to have a big, stupid moth?
unidentified
You don't.
joe rogan
The Japanese had a bunch of crazy ass monsters.
unidentified
They still do.
They still do those Godzilla.
You know they still do...
Turtle.
joe rogan
Remember that turtle?
unidentified
Godzilla.
joe rogan
Is that Rodan?
Rodan the turtle?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Rodan's a turtle.
Well, come on, man.
A fucking turtle?
unidentified
Yeah.
You know they still do the Godzilla movies with the people in the costumes, I heard?
joe rogan
They still make those?
unidentified
I heard they still make them in Japan.
joe rogan
We have no confirmation.
See, this is another thing.
unidentified
That's what I heard.
joe rogan
We're talking out of our ass.
We don't really have...
We've done no research.
unidentified
Right.
You know?
Sick.
Isn't that what that means?

You know, I don't know, man.
I don't know.

unidentified
Uh-huh, it's going to twit.
joe rogan
Okay, so how do I tell people to follow us on this thing?
unidentified
See, you can add new chat boxes.
Oh, you mean on Twitter?
joe rogan
Yeah, I'm going to post this on Twitter to get people to follow us.
unidentified
When you post on here, it automatically makes the link.
joe rogan
It does?
unidentified
Yeah, see?
Oh, okay.
brian redban
See how everyone has this link, your link underneath it?
joe rogan
Is that cool?
unidentified
Okay.
joe rogan
What is this heyjoerogan.net?
What is that?
unidentified
That's just what is on it.
You don't have to put heyjoregan.net.
Okay.
You're going to erase all that.
Okay.
Okay.
Yeah.
That's for other people so they don't get nervous.
Okay.
brian redban
When you put sick in like commas or in Does that mean kind of or like approximately?
joe rogan
Excuse me?
unidentified
When people write sick.
joe rogan
S-I-C. Oh, spelling incorrect.
unidentified
Oh.
joe rogan
It's when someone uses poor grammar or poor spelling.
unidentified
All this time I've had to admit something.
joe rogan
How high am I right now?
One to ten?
unidentified
Four.
joe rogan
Probably like a four.
unidentified
Yeah, I'm not that high at all.
joe rogan
Not very hard There's 230 You motherfuckers We're rolling strong, bitches.
Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas to all of you.
Alright.
What else?
I'm a fan of Jeet Kune Do.
I'm a fan of Bruce Lee.
I'm a fan of his idea.
His idea to add all the martial arts.
I mean, he was really the original mixed martial artist.
When I started out as a kid, I did karate and then I started doing Taekwondo.
And each one of those disciplines, karate and taekwondo, wanted you to think that their style was the best style, the end-all, be-all style.
Karate, they didn't want you training with taekwondo people.
Taekwondo people, they didn't want you training with karate people.
You know, judo people didn't want you training with kung fu people.
It was like everybody was like really attached to their style.
So really, Bruce Lee and Jeet Kune Do, that's the original mixed martial art.
That's the original guy to look at, you know, all the different systems and take what's useful from each one.
I mean, Bruce Lee was a genius when it came to martial arts.
Way, way, way ahead of his time.
unidentified
I like this because the questions are slower and a Twitter-ism.
joe rogan
Yeah, this is pretty cool.
This is the first time I've done this.
Like I said, I'm always threatening to do this, but we're doing it now, you motherfuckers.
unidentified
Subverter.
joe rogan
Talk more about Hunter S. Thompson.
I love that feeling where the truth just hits you.
You know, Anders Thompson was a fucking genius.
He was one of the very few dudes that really captured the angst of the 60s and the 70s, the Nixon era, and, you know, he was a part of the acid culture of the 60s.
He was a part of the culture, like, the San Francisco-Hate Ashbery movement, where it's like, everybody was doing acid.
All these people were, like, and good acid.
So all these people were, like, really coming together and they were really, like, releasing...
Their egos and their identity and kind of like losing themselves in a movement, in this hippie movement of the 60s.
Which seems like really stupid now.
We look at it and it's like, God, look at these idiots with their long hair and their stupid clothes.
But what they were doing was they were radically departing from the previous culture.
I mean, the difference between the 50s and the 60s is fucking gigantic.
The difference between like Buddy Holly and Jimi Hendrix...
I mean, that's another world.
I mean, that's not like a 10-year evolution.
That's an evolution that would have taken hundreds or maybe not even gotten there at all.
It's almost like they needed the drugs.
They needed acid and mushrooms and pot and peyote.
They needed all that shit and heroin to launch themselves from one...
One frequency to the next one.
And the 60s were a totally different frequency when it came to music, when it came to culture, and that set the stage for what happened in the 70s and the 80s and where the really crappy music that came from the 80s and Some of it in the 70s, but definitely the 80s.
What that is, is this consciousness, this incredible music where these people were really tuning into the art of it in the 60s.
More 60s music is classic fucking shit that you hear today and you go, God damn, that's a good song!
It's like they really figured out how to tap into the real shit, you know, the real energy that makes art interesting, that makes art resonate.
And I think they did it with drugs.
And I think that the decline in the 70s and certainly in the 80s was because there was like a void left where this...
Tuning in, this connection to the real pure source was gone.
It's like whatever they had hit, whatever frequency they had nailed in the 60s, the echoes of it had died down by the time the 80s hit.
I think Hunter S. Thompson had a fucking brilliant story that he wrote, a brilliant...
That he wrote, The Wave, talking about how the 60s was like a wave and that when the 60s ended you could see where the wave broke back, like where they thought that people could be, like where they saw the true potential of humanity, of the United States, of the human race in general, and you saw it just roll back and go back to where it was.
And that's what it was between the 60s and the 70s, you know?
And he nailed that shit better than anybody.
Hunter S. Thompson's words today, still, when you look at, like, especially what was going on with the Bush administration, and what was just, like, the clearest evidence ever of massive amounts of corruption in government, where, you know, it's, I mean, they got us into a war that made no fucking sense.
I mean, and it was obvious, like, across the board.
The internet was, you know, up.
Information was being, you know, very easily transferred back and forth, and yet it still managed to go through.
And the way he felt about the Nixon administration, I mean, you literally could substitute Nixon for Bush and then insert most of the shit that he said into the early 2000s.
Raw sound?
Does it sound shitty?
What do you think about doing a radio show of my own?
I would love to do a radio show.
The only problem is I don't think anybody wants to pay me to do a radio show.
I might have to do a radio show like this because right now, I mean, Adam Carolla has a suite set up where he does podcasts and he gets a lot of people to listen to it.
And that might be the way to go.
Because satellite radio is struggling financially.
And, you know, some people make money from it.
Like, you know, obviously Howard Stern makes a lot of money from it.
And I think Opie and Anthony make good money from it.
But they don't want to pay anybody else.
They're not making money.
So they don't have the money to give out.
So I think if I'm going to do any sort of...
Let me turn that up.
Does it work?
Is that any better?
Is that louder, anybody?
If I'm going to do any sort of a...
A podcast or something like that.
It's gonna be this.
It's gonna be like this.
And I saw Soulja Boy do it.
So I was like, yeah.
unidentified
Remember that video of Soulja Boy and the guy in the background with his gold necklace?
joe rogan
Yeah.
unidentified
Yeah, man.
joe rogan
Soulja Boy is fascinating to me.
If you don't know Soulja Boy...
He's a rapper, a very young fellow, who's wildly successful.
Made millions and millions of dollars.
And he's tattooed his entire body in like the course of like a few months.
Like all the way up his neck and his face is tattooed and his sleeves and his chest and everything.
I mean, he just tattooed the fuck out of himself with like writing and shit, like really bad artwork.
Really, really interesting.
It just, I guess he likes it.
It just went crazy.
unidentified
How many times a day do you think he makes it rain?
joe rogan
Makes it rain?
I think he does it all day.
He's a multi-multi-multi-millionaire and he's only like 19 years old.
And when he became rich and famous, he was only like 17. He's an interesting little study right there.
unidentified
When Kimbo says all day, what does it mean?
joe rogan
All day.
That's what it means.
unidentified
Making it rain all day?
joe rogan
No, it doesn't mean making it rain.
When Kimbo says all day?
When Kimbo says all day, it means he's fucking dudes up all day.
This is how we do.
All day when he holds up them dukes.
I got some pretty fucking sweet Kimbo sliced t-shirts that I just got from my buddies at Tap Out.
unidentified
Really?
joe rogan
Yeah, they're upstairs though.
unidentified
Show me your drawings.
joe rogan
My drawings.
I can actually put those online.
unidentified
Dude, that's pretty badass.
joe rogan
I should put those.
brian redban
He just found his old drawings from when he was younger and they are amazing.
joe rogan
It's some shit that I made when I was a little kid.
Well, not a little kid.
I was like 18. Let me see.
Twit pic.
Oh, I can choose a picture from here.
I'll put it up in my Twitter.
unidentified
Word.
I was pretty blown away.
He's really good at drawing.
brian redban
And these two drawings he did are just amazing.
I mean, I thought I was good back in the day, but he blows me out of the water back in the day.
unidentified
Because I never used a technical pen.
joe rogan
These technical pens are awesome.
unidentified
Yeah, that seems pretty sweet.
joe rogan
Yeah, you would love it.
When I first started out, when I was a kid, I was really into comic books.
I wanted to be a comic book artist.
unidentified
Big Bad Wolf 3. Where is it?
Oh, cool.
You already scanned it?
Yeah.
Scanned it?
joe rogan
Upload the tweet photo.
It's uploading.
When I was...
This might fuck everything up.
My gay ass internet service.
It's so slow.
Look how slow this is.
Because this is a big ass picture.
It's like three megs.
unidentified
Two megs a second.
Charter.
joe rogan
Yeah, I gotta switch.
You tweet stuff to you or use the chat.
Oh, tweet stuff to me, man.
unidentified
Don't...
Too many people chats too fast.
joe rogan
Yeah, too many people chats.
That shit ain't...
That shit ain't gonna work.
unidentified
Tracy Lee just sent me a text message.
joe rogan
You guys know Tracy Lee?
unidentified
From...
joe rogan
Dana was in the chat.
You missed it.
Oh, Dana was in the chat?
How's Dana in it?
unidentified
I don't know.
That's not a real Dana.
joe rogan
She thinks it's a real Dana.
unidentified
No.
joe rogan
Why do you think it's a real Dana?
How dare you be dumb?
How dare you?
unidentified
Welcome to the internet!
joe rogan
Can you ask Cheeseburger?
Can I ask Cheeseburger?
Dana's got no fucking time to be in my goddamn chat.
unidentified
Dude, quit saying you're Obama.
Let's have Obama be.
joe rogan
She says, I'm in the chat.
Alright, Tracy.
I got you right here, Tracy.
I'm in the chat, too.
unidentified
The.
joe rogan
Chat.
Too.
And that wasn't Dana, you dumb bitch.
unidentified
Is Tracy Lee?
joe rogan
She's the combat lifestyle photographer?
unidentified
Yeah.
This is the best phone of all time.
joe rogan
The iPhone, ladies and gentlemen.
You really can't fuck with it.
We've tried every other phone.
I'm a technical fucking geek.
I'm a nerd.
I love phones.
But there's no phone that can fuck with the iPhone.
There's no network that can fuck with Verizon though.
And that's the real goddamn problem.
So I don't use the iPhone as my main phone.
I mostly use the iPhone these days as like an internet device.
I use it as like a little mini laptop and shit.
But for my phone...
I use one of these BlackBerry Storm 2s, which as a phone is not nearly as good.
It's kind of funky.
The typing on it's not bad.
The Storm 2 is definitely better than the Storm 1. But, man, fucking...
The network is a hundred times better.
The Verizon network...
When I had AT&T, like when I would drive to jiu-jitsu at night, I'd drive the same way, and I'd go through Hollywood, and my shit would drop out...
Three times on the way to Hollywood.
Three fucking times in 25, 30 miles, whatever it is.
Three times the shit would drop out.
With Verizon, straight through.
Never drops out.
Doesn't drop out anywhere.
They get better reception inside buildings.
It's just better reception, period.
And it's not like a little bit better.
It's like several times better.
It's like the amount of drop-offs that I get with Verizon are so tiny in comparison to the AT&T ones.
AT&T, they just got fucked by that iPhone.
That iPhone just overloaded their network, overloaded the shit out of it.
And the things, they just drop off all the time.
brian redban
Something that AT&T has been pushing lately, and I agree, is not being able to use your data network while you're on the phone.
unidentified
Verizon, when you're on the phone, you can't check your email and get new email or go on Twitter and get new Twitters while you're on the phone.
You can't use your data and your phone together at the same time.
Did you know that?
joe rogan
No, I didn't know that.
unidentified
That's huge.
brian redban
That's bigger than a dropped call once in a while, I think.
joe rogan
Yeah, that is bigger.
unidentified
You'd have no idea what I'm talking about.
joe rogan
No, data and not being able to use data and talk at the same time.
unidentified
Yeah, because what if you're on the phone?
You can't get emails while you're on the phone.
joe rogan
Yeah, that's gay.
unidentified
And Verizon can't fix that with their current network.
joe rogan
Yeah, that's gay.
That's why they had that thing where they show that you can get on the phone and go in the apps.
Look, but...
unidentified
That sucks!
joe rogan
It does suck, but I'll take being able to use the phone over that.
I like using the phone.
I like...
When I'm driving, I get my business done.
You know what I'm saying?
I have to get shit done.
And I have to talk to people.
unidentified
And...
joe rogan
Sometimes I have conference calls.
Sometimes I do interviews while I'm driving my car, you know?
unidentified
But you know, like you will call me up and you'll say something like, what's that?
How do you do this or something?
Like I'm on the phone and I'm like, hold on, let me go on.
I can't go on my, you can't do anything.
joe rogan
That's weak, yeah.
It is weak, but I'll take it.
I'll take that and have a signal.
I'll take not being able to do both at the same time and have a strong signal.
unidentified
Right.
joe rogan
I'll take that.
And that's because the CDMA can't handle two streams at the same time.
unidentified
Verizon actually uses older technology.
ATD actually has a newer technology.
Verizon's kind of in trouble.
They have a slower network.
It can't handle those two things at once.
joe rogan
Yeah, but it still works better.
I'll still take it.
unidentified
Right.
4G isn't out yet here.
joe rogan
Somebody wrote, Soulja Boy is a fucking douche.
Listen, do you think you would be any better if you were 19 years old?
He's worth millions of dollars.
unidentified
He is a douche on the internet, though.
Where he's showing his money and stuff.
joe rogan
He's a 19-year-old kid that's worth millions of dollars.
unidentified
Literally.
joe rogan
I would be retarded if I was that rich when I was 19. Because the Jonas Brothers are hypnotized by Walt Disney.
Yes.
They drank the Disney Kool-Aid.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
They don't even get pussy.
What's the point in being rich and famous if you're not even getting laid?
unidentified
Right?
joe rogan
It's ridiculous.
We got rock stars that don't fuck.
unidentified
They fuck.
joe rogan
They fuck now when they get married.
Miss Tracy Lee's in here.
She says the sound is fine.
Everybody that's in that chat, get the fuck out of there because I'm not paying attention to that shit.
Tweet it.
Tweet it, you dirty bitches.
How come the tweet isn't updating?
unidentified
You're getting too many tweets per hour.
Really?
Probably.
Probably have to go.
Because this thing's open.
You see?
Two programs are taking your APIs.
joe rogan
Okay.
Alright.
I'm going to shut this one off.
unidentified
I would shut that one off.
joe rogan
Alright.
I'm shutting TweetDeck off.
Bye TweetDeck.
Alright.
I'm just trying to optimize here because like I told you guys, I got a terrible internet connection.
But I'm not getting my goddamn Twitters.
So let me update this.
Bitch.
Right here.
unidentified
Here we go.
joe rogan
Alright.
unidentified
You know what?
Once you get your updated internet, we'll get you an HD camera too.
joe rogan
The Pope got laid out by a crazy woman.
I think it was a Pope.
I think it was some...
Some crazy chick tried to attack the Pope, but some other dude who was in government got hit in the face with a statue in Italy.
What is this?
They put an ad in front of us?
unidentified
They put advertising.
joe rogan
What the fuck?
unidentified
It's the newest thing.
They put some...
joe rogan
What are we advertising?
This is because I was talking about Soldier Boy.
unidentified
Is that really Soldier Boy?
joe rogan
No, it's Soldier Boy's homies.
They're just chilling.
They're just hanging out.
unidentified
Look at all my money.
joe rogan
Look at all my new sneakers.
Even the bottom of my sneakers is clean.
unidentified
Yeah, that's bullshit.
joe rogan
It's bullshit.
They're advertising.
Please, everybody, click close on that advertisement.
Fucking goddamn heathens.
unidentified
Show where the close button is.
It's right here.
joe rogan
It's the upper, lower, upper left corner.
What?
If you see that...
Yeah, that's right.
unidentified
Yeah, just close that.
joe rogan
Close that shit.
Fucking advertisement.
unidentified
That's one bad thing about Ustream, because I don't remember Justin TV having that.
Do they?
I don't know.
Justin TV is about to get in trouble with...
joe rogan
Justin TV's getting in trouble or something?
unidentified
They were mentioned in that UFC. Yeah, they're in trouble.
Well, it's obvious if you have a thousand...
Justin TV's supposedly working with the people that are owning the copyright material.
brian redban
Wouldn't it be easy if you noticed that one of your chat rooms went from zero to 2,000 in like a second?
unidentified
Delete.
Delete.
joe rogan
Wow.
Like I said, you can't fight the internet.
People are going to figure out a way to put things online.
They're just going to...
I thought that was the real problem, was that people were taking a copy of it after the event and then uploading it to Torrance.
But that's not what the problem is.
The problem is streaming.
The problem is if you have any streaming, you're going to have pirated streaming.
unidentified
Yeah.
You can't stop that.
joe rogan
I don't think you can stop it.
Maybe you can.
Maybe you can stop it by cutting back on those sites would probably stop it substantially, but that's going to...
It's gonna kill those sites.
It's gonna kill Ustream.
It's gonna kill JustinTV.
It's gonna kill those sites like this where you can just stream anything.
You motherfuckers.
Wow, 364 people.
This is like a packed comedy club, ladies and gentlemen.
unidentified
Isn't that weird?
joe rogan
It's nuts.
Alright, let's take some questions here, you dirty bitches.
Wow, there's a lot of goddamn...
What of this marijuana and increasing brain cells You know, I don't know if it increases brain cells.
There's been some research that suggests that, and it suggests that it also slows down the progression of Alzheimer's.
I don't know.
It does a lot of good for you, though.
That's what people need to understand.
There's a lot of drugs that are terrible for you.
Marijuana's not one of them.
Marijuana does a lot of good things for you.
It calms you down.
It relaxes you.
It makes you take things...
I just got a text from Bruce Buffer.
Powerful.
It makes you...
It makes you consider other options.
It makes you consider other possibilities.
It makes you think about yourself more.
It makes you think about whether or not you're being a douchebag.
Whether or not you're behaving the right way.
Marijuana is good for you.
Does it give you extra brain cells?
I don't know.
I was going to write the cover of my Shiny Happy Jihad.
The first name for that CD was going to be Weed Made Me Smarter.
I was going to call it that, but I decided that was kind of like...
unidentified
That sentence doesn't sound smart, though, for some reason.
joe rogan
Weed Made Me Smarter?
It's not supposed to be a correct sentence.
It's supposed to be funny and silly.
I think I'm going to do a book, though, called Weed Made Me Smarter.
I think that's going to be the name of the book.
You know, because that's like a good name for a book.
It grabs you.
That's something that would grab you.
You'd want to check it out.
Did I hear about Rick Simpson oil?
Yeah, it's like hemp that cures cancer or some shit.
What video games are my favorite of all time?
Quake.
I used to have a huge problem.
That's why I got a T1 line installed in my house.
I just play Quake every day, 8 hours a day.
unidentified
Did you watch that video I posted where they go into the airport and just start spraying people?
joe rogan
What game is that?
unidentified
Call of Duty, whatever, the new one.
joe rogan
The new one.
I've never played Call of Duty.
I don't want to get addicted, man.
I got problems.
I get addicted to everything.
I get addicted to pool.
I used to play pool 8 hours a day, more even sometimes.
I used to get addicted to video games.
That's why I'm scared of golf.
I've never played golf.
I'm terrified of that shit because I know dudes who play golf.
They sit around all day and practice fake swinging.
They get addicted.
And I get very badly addicted to games.
So I try to leave my addictions to things that benefit me now.
Like pool.
I like pool.
I don't play as much as I used to.
I just fuck around with it.
But, like, jujitsu and stand-up comedy, I try to be more...
I try to be addicted to things that are beneficial to me instead of things that are just going to, like, eat up all my day, which is what pool used to be for me and what video games used to be for me.
I used to have real fucking problems.
Thank you.
I'm glad you enjoyed the drawing.
I Twittered a drawing that I made when I was...
I think I was, like, 18 or 19 years old.
I used to want to be a comic book artist.
Red Dragons.
Indeed.
Red Dragons.
unidentified
Have you seen the new preview for the new Karate Kid movie?
joe rogan
No, I have not.
unidentified
It's Black Karate Kid.
They're redoing the Karate Kid, but the kid's black, and I think it's Will Smith's kid.
joe rogan
Yeah, it's Will Smith's kid.
unidentified
I think that's awesome.
That's crazy.
joe rogan
Karate's making a comeback, man.
Leota Machida.
unidentified
Yeah, but don't fuck with the Karate Kid, man.
joe rogan
Marijuana would bring California out of bankruptcy.
Do you really think so?
Don't fuck with the Karate Kid.
You say that like the Karate Kid was some awesome movie.
unidentified
Dude, it's a childhood memory.
They fucked up G.I. Joe.
They fucked up Transformers.
joe rogan
Was G.I. Joe a movie?
Was G.I. Joe a movie?
unidentified
Yes, and it was the worst movie ever.
joe rogan
No, but maybe before that movie.
What was it before?
unidentified
Oh, before it was a cartoon series.
joe rogan
Cartoons.
Right.
They didn't really fuck it up, though.
They just made a bad move.
unidentified
It was horrible, though.
joe rogan
Really?
unidentified
It was awful.
joe rogan
How fast could BJ Penn beat Aoki?
Man, I don't know if there's anybody at 155 that can fuck with BJ Penn now.
Now that BJ's taking everything super serious and training like a dedicated athlete, he's a destroyer.
At 155, there's nobody that's even close to him.
I mean, no one's even in his frequency.
He's in the Matrix right now.
There's certain dudes that get to a certain point...
With confidence, with experience, with skill, technique, and then you add discipline and conditioning to that, they get to this crazy place that very few people can reach, this crazy high air.
And that's where BJ Penn's at right now, right?
Anderson Silva, too.
He's another one.
He's just in this air that nobody can fuck with that.
brian redban
That's what's good about The Ultimate Fighter, though, because it's kind of bringing new people in.
unidentified
Unknown people, you know?
joe rogan
Yeah.
But, you know, there's such a gigantic gap between these guys that have fought in these smaller organizations and the guys at the top of the food chain.
And you see, like, with Fedor Emelianenko, like, it takes so many years for a guy to become, like, the Fedor of today.
And Anderson Silva's a perfect example of that.
Like, Anderson Silva, when he's fighting in Pride, I mean, he got submitted by Rio Chonan, uh, Takassi got him in a mounted triangle.
Dudes were beating him.
Dudes were submitting him.
He knocked out Carlos Dundon, but he just didn't look like the Anderson Silva of today.
And he had to have those fights.
He had to have those losses.
He had to get better.
He had to rise.
He had to really get his shit together, really focus on his jiu-jitsu and really become black belts on the ground so he had this full package so that he was totally confident in throwing his strikes because he didn't worry at all about being on the ground.
And that's the Anderson Silva that you have now, this fully complete fighter.
But we had to see him evolve.
It took a long time for him to become the guy that he is today.
It takes a long time to make a full, complete mixed martial artist.
These guys today, the competition is staggering.
There's so many fighters now.
There's so many different organizations, so many fighters, and so many guys are good.
It's so hard to advance and to make it to the very top of the food chain in today's mixed martial arts world.
I mean, there's so much fucking competition.
It's amazing.
I mean, when I first started doing the UFC, I first started working for them in 1997, and it was tiny.
We did the first show in Dothan, Alabama.
There was nobody there.
I mean, there was like a thousand people or something like that, and it's because the tickets were really cheap, and because people came to see a fucking freak show.
There was nobody there that knew when someone was passing the guard, and nobody passed the guard back then either.
You know, nobody knew what the fuck was going on.
Nobody knew, you know, that leg kicks were, you know, really bad for you.
They'd fuck your legs up.
People would see a guy kicking somebody in the legs like, why is he doing that?
You know, like, back then you were allowed to punch people in the balls.
You know, you were allowed to pull hair.
You were allowed to pull on clothes.
It was crazy in the early days to what it is now.
It's really fucking amazing.
unidentified
Your face is amazing.
joe rogan
Your fucking face is amazing.
Don Frye retired from MMA. Don Frye is a fucking real man that belongs in a movie.
They should make a movie out of Don Frye.
His fucking mustache alone is epic.
Don Frye's a real man, ladies and gentlemen.
A real goddamn man, 372 viewers.
unidentified
I bet you this shit's fine.
joe rogan
They're saying this sounds good, but I think this sounds better when we've got it close.
unidentified
I think it just needs to point towards your face.
joe rogan
Oh really?
I have it towards your fucking face.
unidentified
Your face is pointing towards your face.

Where2Float.com.
Is that our website?
Where2Float.com?
If you Google where to float, I know you can...
If you want to know about flotation tanks, these are...
What this guy's asking about is a thing called a sensory deprivation tank.
And what that is is there's a tank filled with water.
If you haven't heard about this before, you can Google it and there's videos that we made that you can find online that Brian made.
If you see any of my videos from my website, and you go, wow, those are fucking really cool and creative.
This guy makes something.
That's Brian Reichel.
He's a fucking video genius, bitches.
Recognize.
And we made a really cool one that explains the isolation tank.
But what it is is a tank of water that has 800 pounds of salt in it.
And the water is heated to the same temperature of your skin.
And the salt makes you very buoyant, so you lie in the water and you float.
And the fact that the water is heated to the same temperature as your skin, you don't feel it.
So you're floating in this water.
You don't really feel the water anymore because the water and the air and everything, it all feels like one thing.
It feels like you're weightless and you're flying through space.
And when you close the door in this thing, you're in total darkness.
You're in total silence.
Your ears are underwater.
You don't hear anything.
And in the absence of any sensory input, you don't hear anything, you don't feel anything, you don't see anything.
In the absence of all that, your mind has no distractions, and your brain becomes supercharged, and you start having vivid hallucinations, and you start, like, it's really like a psychedelic experience.
You really start, you start, like, really, like, researching, like, your thoughts and getting to the heart of who you are, separate from culture, separate from language, separate from You know, your experiences.
You get down to who you are.
And then when you get to that, once you get past that is when the hallucinations start.
Because you kind of cease to exist as you define yourself as who you are by your job, the car you drive, the house you live in, the family you have, the friends you keep.
You define yourself by all these different things.
But when you're in that tank, all those things are gone.
There's no outside world.
There's just the mind.
It's the mind untethered from the body.
And when you're in that state, You kind of transverse.
You kind of travel between this consciousness and this reality to another one.
You travel outside of this world.
And you travel to the world of the deep inner thoughts.
The deep inner connection between whatever the fuck this life is.
The connection between your consciousness and the universe.
And it gets pretty fucking crazy.
I have one of those bitches in my basement.
I do it all the time.
Is it like a really great power nap?
No, it's not like a really great power nap.
It's like a really great mushroom trip.
But the best thing about it is you can end it at any second.
Anytime you want to end it, you just open up the door and you're stone cold sober.
So you can be in this deep trance where you're...
I've had really vivid, vivid hallucinations in there where I felt like I had traveled down to the very atomic structure of human beings and gotten through the lowest point.
And at that lowest point...
As you get lower and lower and deeper and deeper, it became like another universe.
And the idea in my head was that all of this life that we see, you know, subatomic particles to atoms to all these things, like this progression of things getting bigger and bigger and bigger to humans, to countries, to continents, to planets, to planets, to galaxies.
To galaxies, to universes, and this idea that things just keep getting bigger and bigger and bigger, well, it works infinitely in both directions.
It was like I was taken on a trip through the whole experience, from subatomic To atomic, to planets, to flying through space, to space being subatomic, to this new atom that exists, and it's a part of new organisms that exist, that are part of a new ecosystem that exists, that's a part of a new planet, that's a part of a new galaxy, that's a part of a new universe, and it goes on and on and on.
And I went through this whole thing over and over again, like multiple times, and it was really fucking crazy.
It was very, very vivid and very realistic and very, you know, very life-changing.
The whole thing is like doing it a lot.
You've got to do the isolation tank a lot and you've got to learn to relax and you've got to learn to give in to the experience because so many times when you're in there, you're thinking about things and you're worrying about things and you think about your bills and your bullshit and, you know, I'm going to lose weight and I've got to do this and all those thoughts Distract you.
It's like the state of mind that you can achieve in this isolation tank is very similar to the state of mind that you can achieve from, you know, when monks go through, you know, decades and decades of intense meditation.
Like they achieve the same type of state of mind, but you're achieving it like with no discipline.
So it's hard to manage sometimes.
But if you can learn to manage it and if you learn to go in with the correct thought process and to approach it the right way and maybe meditate before you go in and calm yourself and put yourself in a good state of mind and know how to navigate the waters of these experiences, then you can get to the crazy part.
The crazy part is hard to get to but it's there.
unidentified
We should ask them which sounds better and switch between the three.
joe rogan
Okay.
Okay, what sounds better?
There's three settings to this microphone.
unidentified
This is one.
joe rogan
What sounds better?
This is setting one.
Ready?
Hi, my name is Joe Rogan.
Okay.
unidentified
Two.
joe rogan
This is setting two.
This is setting two.
Hi, my name is Joe Rogan.
Is this better?
Does this sound better to you?
Or setting three.
Hi, my name is Joe Rogan.
Does this sound better to you?
Which one sounds better, ladies and gentlemen?
Please, tweet now.
You're gonna annoy the fuck out of people that follow you and people that get your phone messages.
Sometimes I'll tweet, I'll get baked and I'll watch the Steven Seagal show and I'll tweet way too much and I get a lot of angry tweets from people.
brian redban
It's annoying if you only follow below 100 people or something.
unidentified
That's why I start following more and make it more just like a chat room almost.
joe rogan
Yeah, I have thousands of people following them.
brian redban
I just hate when people reply to every single person that's ever written them, ever wrote them, ever, you know?
unidentified
Yeah, that's a problem.
joe rogan
I'm gonna sign into Twitter right now.
unidentified
One sounds best, three, you dick.
joe rogan
Three, you dick?
I'm a dick?
unidentified
One and three are close, two sucks.
joe rogan
One and three are close.
Three is louder, but one seems better quality.
So it seems one, three, then two.
Okay, it seems like one is the one.
One, one, one, three!
Someone yelled out.
One, one, one for sure, one.
Most people are saying it's time between one and three, so let's go with one.
Alright, we're going to go with one.
unidentified
Fuck you and your threes.
joe rogan
Whoa!
Strong words.
Very strong words.
unidentified
How's your Melrose New Year's show?
joe rogan
Oh yeah.
I'm gonna be at the Melrose Improv, if anybody's in LA. The Improv on Melrose.
I'm gonna be there on New Year's Eve.
Two shows.
I think it's 8 and 10. Are you sure it's two shows?
unidentified
Pretty sure.
brian redban
I heard one show, and then just on Improv's website, they have an early time that you can go to eat dinner.
joe rogan
Really?
unidentified
It looks like a second show, but it's not really two shows.
joe rogan
Well, that's a problem, because that bitch is going to sell out quick.
unidentified
Yeah.
And then Vegas the following day at the House of Blues?
joe rogan
Yes.
The following day, January 1st, House of Blues.
unidentified
Vegas.
joe rogan
Vegas, bitches!
unidentified
And then, after that, it's Washington, D.C., January, I think 7th, or something like that.
Or no.
Yeah.
Is that, what's after?
I don't know.
joe rogan
Upcoming shows.
unidentified
This fucking thing sucks.
joe rogan
The improv's website is dog shit.
unidentified
See, Joe Rogan dinner, 10 p.m., and then 1001 Joe Rogan show.
Huh.
It's just saying that...
joe rogan
It says there's only one show.
unidentified
Yeah, I think there is only one show.
I only have it on your website as one show.
joe rogan
One show, 10pm.
Ooh, this is going to be a disaster.
unidentified
Yeah.
Oh, it's going to be crazy.
joe rogan
Yeah.
If you want to go to the improv, you've got to go now.
unidentified
It looks like it's already sold out.
Is it sold out?
I'm trying to buy a ticket right now.
Oh, wait.
I'm trying to buy a ticket right there.
Oh, there's still tickets.
joe rogan
Okay.
You can still buy tickets, but get them quick because that bitch is going to sell out.
Maybe we'll add an 8 o'clock show.
I don't want anybody to get shut out.
And sometimes 8 o'clock is the move.
You go there, have a show, have a good time, get your freak on, have a couple laughs, and then go hide when it comes to midnight so you don't get bullets dropping on your fucking head from all the douchebags out here like to fire guns in the air and get crazy.
I can handle it.
And they drink and drive.
It's very dangerous.
brian redban
I got some hilarious video of last New Year's there, of these old ladies dancing and stuff.
joe rogan
Oh yeah, that's right.
I wish we had that right now.
We could stream it.
We could stream it, right?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
I'm gonna upgrade this internet, this weak-ass internet I got here.
unidentified
Yeah, because then once I'll bring my laptop and then I'll start to be able to just send you videos and stuff like that.
joe rogan
We're gonna set it up like a goddamn fucking TV studio in here, bitches.
358 viewers.
I'm losing viewers.
It must be boring.
Answer some questions here.
At a late show in Vegas.
I don't think so, man.
Late shows in Vegas are a nightmare.
unidentified
House of Blues is pretty big already.
joe rogan
Yeah, the House of Blues is a good size anyway.
The one thing that I won't do anymore is I used to do the House of Blues and I had most of the people were seated but then there was all the standing room in the back.
The problem is that standing room by the bar just becomes a bar and people just start talking and it becomes a fucking nightmare.
So no more shows.
I'm not doing any more shows ever anywhere where people have to stand out while they're watching the show.
And the reason being is because I went to see Doug Stanhope when he was in LA. And we went to see him and we're standing in the back of the room.
He did a standing room only show.
And it's like, after like an hour, your fucking back hurts.
Your neck starts bothering you.
It's not comfortable to stand up and watch a show.
I always figured, because I'm on stage standing for an hour, it's no big deal.
You can stand for an hour and a half and...
Talk on stage and it doesn't feel...
It's not a problem.
But standing still watching someone is a big difference.
unidentified
That was the worst.
joe rogan
It's terrible.
brian redban
Do you even remember like the last half of that show?
unidentified
Yeah.
Because I was focused on my feet the whole time.
Yeah.
joe rogan
It's a terrible feeling.
unidentified
And...
brian redban
What's weird is I talked to somebody in Texas.
unidentified
They walked out of the show because it was standing room only at Doug's show.
And they just walked out.
They were like, we couldn't take it anymore.
joe rogan
Yeah, I hate it.
So I'm not doing it anymore.
And I'm having problems with this.
Because I had a show booked in March at the Fillmore in New York City.
And they said that the whole balcony had to be standing.
I'm like, fuck that, man.
Give me less money.
Let's see what we can.
But they were like, you know, we can make more money if people stand.
And I was like, alright, you're done.
And so I canceled that gig.
And then the same thing happened in Houston.
I was supposed to do the House of Blues.
And the same thing.
They were like, well, you know, we need to have people standing in the back.
And I had it booked.
I don't know.
My agents are not communicating this to the people or they're not paying attention.
It's going through too many people before it gets to the person that makes the decision, but they wanted to have people stand, and I said, fuck that, so now I'm going to have to find a new gig in New York and a new gig in Houston, and I'm probably going to wind up doing the improv in Houston, I don't know, thinking about that, and maybe one of the clubs in New York City.
brian redban
If you go to Joe's Twitter, a website that has his calendar on it, you just gain four people, though, so people like talking about standing.
unidentified
Yes!
I've got more people now.
Do you remember standing, like, waiting for a roller coaster, and just standing, like, three hours for a roller coaster?
Sucks.
Like, lasts a minute.
joe rogan
Yeah.
Fucking terrible, man.
Yeah.
Run it like Tom Green.
Yeah, Tom Green's got an awesome setup.
I went to Tom Green's house.
I filmed his talk show there.
And he's got a fucking crazy setup, man.
Like, giant servers.
And he's got wires.
Big, you know, wires all throughout his living room.
Because, like, he's doing it, like, serious, hardcore style.
And he's doing it, or at least back then he was doing it.
unidentified
He's still doing it, isn't he?
Or is he, like, is he straight pay-per-view now, though?
He can't watch it for free at all now anymore, right?
I think...
I think so.
joe rogan
Let's go to Tom Green Live and see that.
Is that the case, ladies and gentlemen?
If it is, I think that's a fucking mistake.
unidentified
I think it is too.
joe rogan
That's a mistake.
unidentified
Maybe it's the archives you have to be a member to watch.
joe rogan
That makes sense.
Maybe.
unidentified
We'll see.
joe rogan
We're going to the channel.
He calls it the channel.
I don't know what that's all about.
Ready to receive stream.
Oh, he's doing stand-up comedy now, isn't that crazy?
unidentified

unidentified

joe rogan
$5.95 a month.
Not bad.
unidentified
Good price.
joe rogan
Good price.
I wonder if he's making money doing that.
unidentified
$4.95 would have been better.
joe rogan
$4.95.
How about just five bucks?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
What's with this fucking five shit?
$4.95.
That's stupid, man.
That drives me crazy.
unidentified
Make a fire pots.
joe rogan
$5.99.
Just tell me it's $6, you fuck.
unidentified
So do you open your presents on Christmas Eve?
joe rogan
Yeah, tonight we're going to open presents.
unidentified
Why do you do that?
Is that something you grew up doing?
joe rogan
I'm impulsive.
I don't want to wait.
Why should I wait?
I'm grown up.
unidentified
You do it at midnight?
No.
joe rogan
I do it in an hour or something.
I better get some good shit, too.
That's all I'm saying.
brian redban
You know what sucks is that my parents sent me money and then I took that money to buy them presents and I actually spent more than that they sent me.
If I would have waited and sent them presents first and then they got me money, I would have felt like I got something.
unidentified
But I felt like I just bought them presents.
And it's all about time.
Timing, you know?
joe rogan
They sent you money to buy them things.
unidentified
Right!
It's like, what, I'm your personal shopper?
But if I would have sent them something first and then got money, I would have felt like, oh, I got some cash.
Right.
joe rogan
That's funny.
Interesting.
Alright.
Thanks for spending Christmas Eve with us.
You're welcome, Molly Watt.
I'm going to say people's names when I read your questions so you feel like I'm talking to you, because I am.
unidentified
Were you pissed when you found out there was no Santa, or did you find out?
joe rogan
I found out there was no Santa because I stumbled into my parents rapping shit.
Oh, really?
And then we opened it the next day.
I was like, what the fuck?
Like I hid and I saw them right and then I just put two and two together.
brian redban
My friend has this video of her daughter last year and her daughter's like, I saw Santa Claus last night.
He had a beard and he had a big stomach and had the belt and the mom's like, oh really?
unidentified
Really?
Can you imagine?
joe rogan
Fucking liar.
unidentified
I know.
Can you imagine watching that?
joe rogan
I would have to correct the kid.
I was like, listen, don't lie.
unidentified
Don't lie.
joe rogan
Stop it.
unidentified
You would have said that?
joe rogan
Yeah.
unidentified
You can't see Santa.
He's invisible.
joe rogan
No, you can't lie to me.
unidentified
I mean, she's like, she was like, Four.
Three.
joe rogan
She's a liar.
Do you want to see the video of that?
I think it's very important to call kids on being a liar.
I was a liar when I was a little kid.
This is what I'm saying.
I had a very vivid imagination and not such a good life, so I would always make up stories.
And I wish somebody had called me on my bullshit then, so it wouldn't have taken so long for me to figure it out on my own that people knew I was lying.
unidentified
I didn't figure it out until I was like 10. You would think Pinocchio would have worked, though.
You know, when you're a kid watching Pinocchio?
I don't want a nose with a big nose.
joe rogan
Yeah, he's made of wood.
Wooden people can't fucking talk, man.
That's stupid.
Someone says, Upstate says, I steal your jokes and I use them as my Facebook messages.
I hope it gets you laid.
Does it get you laid?
If it gets you laid, I approve.
I give you thumbs up, sir.
Show us your breasts.
How dare you, D. LaRoche.
How dare you.
Man, I just have to keep up with these Twitters, you fucking freak.
unidentified
But that's good with its Twitters.
It's good, though.
joe rogan
It's coming in now.
Will UFC ever have a 135 division?
I think the UFC and the WEC, the idea is eventually that it's going to be one thing.
unidentified
When?
joe rogan
I don't know.
But I think it should be because I think guys like Jose Aldo and Uriah Faber and Mike Brown and Miguel Torres, those guys are fucking awesome.
They deserve all the attention that the UFC gets.
They deserve people to be clamoring for super fights and to see big pay-per-view bouts in Madison Square Garden and fucking...
The MGM Grand.
Those guys deserve to be at those kind of shows.
The level of talent in the WEC right now is staggering.
In the 135, 145 pound division.
These guys are fucking animals, man.
And even 155, they have some awesome fighters.
I think it would be beneficial to everybody if the UFC was all one thing.
Especially since they own the WEC. I think it would help everybody if they could make that happen.
if it's possible.
Rigorissack says, use that little kid liar in the act.
I don't know if that's really funny, sir.
I think that's funny right now.
Because we're talking about right now.
I don't know if you could recreate that.
It's not funny enough to recreate that and say it on stage.
Might be.
Might be when you're talking about if my daughter gets to the age where my...
unidentified
Have you wrote any new conspiracy theory kind of comedy lately?
Because I remember you used to be really big into writing like Noah's Ark, you know, the pyramids and stuff.
It's like mystery type shit.
joe rogan
Yeah, I've been writing a lot of that shit lately.
That's my favorite shit.
unidentified
That's my favorite shit.
joe rogan
Yeah, I'm writing more of that shit.
It's like comedy.
My comedy comes in big waves of creativity, waves of inspiration.
Is Clay Guido okay?
Yeah, he's okay.
Yeah, he got cut up.
Kenny Florian cut him up with some elbows.
Web beastie.
Alright, we've got some other questions here.
What's my take short fuse on Jesse Ventura's new show?
We already talked about that earlier, but I think people look for conspiracy.
There's a lot of conspiracies that are real, but there's a lot of shit that people are just looking for conspiracies.
unidentified
Looking for love.
Let's see.
joe rogan
A lot of questions about that Jesse Ventura show.
You know why?
Because I believe a lot of weird shit.
So people always come to me when it comes to conspiracy theories.
But like we were talking about earlier, like Google Operation Northwoods.
Google Operation Midnight Climax.
Some conspiracies are fucking real.
Real and proven.
Man, I can't keep up with these Twitters.
unidentified
Google Christopher Columbus.
joe rogan
What did Christopher Columbus do?
unidentified
Did not discover America.
That's true.
joe rogan
He landed in like the Bahamas, right?
unidentified
Yeah, but yet we are celebrate that dude.
Fucking crazy When am I coming to Atlanta I don't know.
joe rogan
I think the last offer I got from the comedy club wasn't good, so I might come to Atlanta and do a theater or something.
I like comedy clubs.
I like the idea behind them.
I like supporting these local clubs that keep local comedians in business and stuff.
But sometimes they don't give you the best deals.
Is Brock going to live?
Yes, I believe Brock Lesnar is going to live.

joe rogan
Badass.

a Tiger.
One of those classic Samurai vs.
a Tiger.
Japanese style tattoos.
unidentified
You should make the background be a circuit board now.

They've got a couple.
They've got a lot of good comics that come out of Atlanta.
The Punchline Atlanta.
A lot of good comics come out of Atlanta.
unidentified
There's a new one.
brian redban
There's a new comedy club I just heard the other day that's really good in Atlanta.
joe rogan
Damn, I lost three people.
I was up to 370. I hate Atlanta.
I'm not getting any good questions here, bitches.
These questions are terrible.
Killer Whales.
We already talked about Killer Whales.
You know, the problem is a lot of these people are coming...
At the end of this, and we've been broadcasting for how long now?
unidentified
Is it still recording?
I think so.
I wonder how long it- Wow.
That's cool.
How long have you been recording for?
joe rogan
We've been doing it for an hour and 40 minutes.
unidentified
Wow.
That's cool.
It records all of it though.
I know.
Dude, you could also get a premium channel.
joe rogan
An hour and 40 minutes.
You know what that means?
unidentified
I think you can get a premium channel on Ustream.
It adds stuff.
Time to refuel.
It adds stuff.
joe rogan
When am I in Chicago?
I do not have a gig in Chicago, Dinojitsu.
I don't have anything lined up, but I'll be back there again.
When am I planning to come back to Edmonton?
I was just there a couple months ago and the problem is I gotta have new material for you guys.
And I like to come no more than once a year so that I have enough time to write a bunch of new shit.
So I don't want you seeing the same act every time I come.
I want to have a bunch of new shit.
This is the worst feeling in the world when you're performing for people and you know they're like, oh, I've heard this before.
You want them to, like, some bits it's cool.
Like, if you want to hear some bits, you know, that you like classics and you want to hear them live, I totally understand that.
But I know you want to see mostly new shit.
So I come to places, I try to come no more than once a year.
And ideally, I like to come every year and a half.
I like to make sure that you've got plenty of new shit.
unidentified
I need to rewrite the first CD. Haha.
joe rogan
Brian thinks I need to put my first CD on DVD. Rewrite it and redo it.
brian redban
Rewrite all the jokes and master every single joke.
joe rogan
I think it's better to just leave it alone and just come up with new shit.
Anything in Philly?
I'll be back in Philly again too.
I love that place.
Helium is the shit.
That place is awesome.
But if you go to JoeRogan.net, my website, there's my whole schedule up and it'll tell you exactly where I'm going to be.

West Virginia sucks, but Virginia's kind of cool.
joe rogan
Pittsburgh smells like crud by the funny bird right there.
We're not all poo.
Hmm.
unidentified
Okay.
Did you know that there's a show called Campus PD and it's cops only on college campuses?
joe rogan
That's hilarious.
unidentified
And it's just girls puking, getting naked, just bar fights.
joe rogan
When's the show on?
brian redban
It's on G4. It's like on every day I think.
unidentified
And it's called Campus, I think Campus PD, and it's just cops on campus.
joe rogan
That doesn't seem like it should be fair.
You shouldn't, if you're a kid, first of all, if you're in college, you're going to want to be on that stupid show because you're dumb and you're going to want to be on TV. And it's not fair for them to exploit you like that, exploit your vulnerability.
They have this incredible access.
They can put you on fucking television.
Like the Jersey Shore, for sure those guys are getting exploited.
unidentified
Here's the question, though.
Some of the people in the show are blurred out, and regular cops and the show, but most of the time they're not blurred.
joe rogan
Because if they're not blurred, it means they signed a release.
unidentified
Yeah, but what did they get?
Did they get off?
Did they get charges off?
What is the deal there?
joe rogan
That's a good question.
unidentified
Did they get $500 credit towards bail?
joe rogan
Well, how bad are their crimes?
unidentified
It's from attempted murder all the way.
I mean, you watch Cops.
joe rogan
Oh, Cops.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
I think a lot of those guys would do it for money.
unidentified
It's money.
joe rogan
They'd say, we'll give you $50 or $100.
unidentified
$50.
joe rogan
Sign this.
A lot of them are probably so fucking dumb, you know, they just sign it.
They just want to be on TV. Man, for real!
They gotta watch the Steven Seagal show.
Steven Seagal has got this guy's fucking arrested.
They pull him out of there.
They're fucking throwing this guy down the ground.
You know, the guy said he had a gun and he got pulled over in his car and he told him he had a gun.
And they grab him and they yank him out.
You reach under your car and you said you had a gun.
Oh man, I'm just trying to park the car.
Is that Steven Seagal?
That's Steven Seagal!
Yo, man, I just need to shake your hand, brother!
They got this guy handcuffed.
I mean, this guy is going to jail.
unidentified
That's crazy.
joe rogan
He's got a fucking gun in his car illegally.
They pull him over and all he wants to do is shake his hand.
That's Steven Seagal!
He just wants to shake his hand.
It's on A&E. It's fucking brilliant.
It's brilliant.
Nothing more brilliant than the way he talks to black people, though.
He goes into the black boys.
What up, cuz?
What's going on?
Much love, much love.
Yeah, yeah, he talks black to them.
It's awesome.
It's awesome.
unidentified
Do you think cheaters is real or fake?
joe rogan
Cheaters is fake.
unidentified
Do you think all of it or just some of them?
joe rogan
Some of it.
Whatever they need to do.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Some of it's real.
unidentified
Some of it got stabbed.
joe rogan
When he got stabbed, that shit was real.
That guy fucking stabbed him.
unidentified
I was watching an episode last night and this boyfriend attacked the other boyfriend.
He has him in a headlock.
He's going, I'm like, wait.
He's just doing this.
He's not going...
You would be just punching his head, right?
You wouldn't just be going like...
joe rogan
A lot of it is staged.
They give him some money.
Jersey Shore needs to die, Rob Fitz07 says.
I disagree, Rob Fitz07.
Why does he need to die?
They're definitely getting exploited, but you know what?
Fuck them.
Fuck them.
Exploit it.
Exploit the shit out of them.
Let me see it.
Let me see the whole thing.
I grew up with people like that.
Guidos don't just exist in New Jersey.
I grew up with Guidos in Boston.
I know a lot of them from East Boston especially.
I know a lot of Guidos.
Revere.
I used to teach Taekwondo at a place called Nautilus Plus in Revere.
Revere, Massachusetts is the Guido capital of the world.
It was all eye rocks and big hair.
Some of my earliest jokes when I started out doing comedy were all about Revere.
It's all about what a shit neighborhood it is.
unidentified
I would have hated to have grown up in that shit, man.
joe rogan
The good thing is you appreciate nice, relaxed, cool people after you've been in an environment like that.
You appreciate people that are on a different frequency.
Instead of this, everybody trying to get pumped up.
You know, I'm trying to get fucking swole.
Everybody's trying to wear the right clothes.
I'm wearing fucking cologne.
The bitches like the smell.
I knew so many guys like that.
When I watch Jersey Shore, it's almost a little too painful to me.
Like, I knew too many dudes like that.
Rob Fitz.
Oh, I can't keep going to you, buddy.
Bad Bobby.
Hey, Bad Bobby.
He says, I've been smoking weed and watching Jersey Shore all day laughing.
Folks, you should follow Bad Bobby.
He's a very fine guy.
unidentified
I might not be the real Bad Bobby.
joe rogan
You don't think so?
unidentified
No, because there's two Anons.
And I know one's real and I know one's not.
joe rogan
Yeah, the spelling is a little too good.
unidentified
Right.
joe rogan
It might be a fake Bad Bobby.
Bad Bobby is an internet legend and I think some people might want to fake being Bad Bobby.
Bad Bobby is a real dude.
He owns a strip club.
It's a very interesting character.
He was a stockbroker, made a ton of money and then retired to open up a strip club in Vancouver and just bangs chicks all day.
He's just a bad motherfucker.
He just eats steaks, shoots human growth.
unidentified
He's always telling people to get him coffee too.
He just drinks so much coffee.
joe rogan
Shut up and get me coffee.
He's a funny dude.
He says really, really funny shit.
And he lives in Vancouver.
I can't wait to see him again.
We're going to see him again in June when we go up there for the UFC. Hollaback!
That's the rumor.
UFC in June.
unidentified
When's UFC Japan?
I want to see that.
I don't know.
joe rogan
It's hard to go over there, I think.
Let's see, get some questions here.
Man, this stream is coming in too fast.
I can't read these bitches.
unidentified
That's cool though, that's the Twitter stream.
joe rogan
Did I see the bit on SNL about Jersey Shore?
Man, I haven't watched SNL in a long time.
I find it really hard to trust them.
You know, it's like so many of those sketches are just not funny.
It's too hard to trust, you know, to like...
To commit to sitting there.
It's one of those things.
I'll give you a few.
I watch the clips when there's things on the internet that are really funny.
Like Dick in a Box.
Remember that?
That was an SNL gag, wasn't it?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
I watch them when they get to the internet.
But I need somebody else to edit it, find the funny ones, and make a big deal out of it.
I can't commit to watching that show.
Have I seen Avatar yet?
No, I have not.
Brian and I are going to go see it probably the day after Christmas.
We're going to get fucking shroomed up.
unidentified
We could go to the 3D. Dude, I think we're already going to have heart attacks.
joe rogan
Yeah, but to do a shroom, that's the way to do it.
Not crazy.
Not what Terrence McKenna would call a heroic dose.
unidentified
I took a little and I was shitting myself last time.
joe rogan
Well, let's just go with pot cookies.
You want to go with pot cookies?
unidentified
That's fine.
joe rogan
I got some pot cookies that are just like shrooms.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
They might as well be shrooms.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Please talk about ancient alien theories, he says in all caps, JG129. Please talk about ancient alien theories.
The big theory of the ancient alien theories is that human beings were manufactured and that they used genetic manipulation to take monkeys and add alien DNA to the monkeys to make people.
What do you think about that, Brian?
unidentified
I think Asians are aliens.
joe rogan
They could be, right?
Maybe that's why they're so hot.
Who the fuck is calling me while I'm on my podcast, goddammit?
Excuse me, I'm in the middle of a podcast...
Oh, how much longer should I be?
Okay, you want me to end soon?
Hi, Muffin.
Daddy's on the internet.
Okay.
Ten minutes, okay?
Okay.
All right, ladies and gentlemen.
That's the reality.
See?
unidentified
You see me fucking stand-up comedian slash cage fighter?
joe rogan
No.
Pussy whipped husband and daddy.
Daddy has to stop smoking weed and doing his little webcam show because everybody wants to eat and they want to open up Christmas presents.
Merry Christmas, you dirty bitches.
What was I talking about before that happened?
Oh, we're talking about ancient aliens.
What's your theory?
unidentified
Asians landed and had Asians.
brian redban
The Asians nowadays aren't aliens, but they're a breed of aliens.
joe rogan
Maybe they're more alien than we are.
Maybe there's different formulations.
Maybe that's what all the different breeds of human beings are.
Or they're pure.
unidentified
We're just mutts and they're pure.
brian redban
They're more pure to the actual human race, you know?
joe rogan
Well, definitely Asians are more pure.
I mean, there's billions of them and they look very similar.
That's incredible that they managed to do that.
I mean, I guess they'd probably look at Europeans in a similar way, but the difference is with the blonde hair, red hair, and brown hair.
Europeans come in all different colors and sizes, but even, like, you go Korean to Japanese to Chinese, it's all black hair, it's all real similar skin tones.
I mean, goddamn, there's some similarities in the Asian cultures.
unidentified
I would love to be Asian, I think.
Really?
Yeah.
joe rogan
Do you have an excuse for having such a little dick?
unidentified
Oh!
No, I mean, seriously, they don't have to shave.
Most of them don't have to shave.
I hate shaving, dude.
joe rogan
I don't mind shaving.
unidentified
I fucking hate it.
Well, you shave everything.
I don't shave everything.
You enjoy it.
You're making an adventure.
joe rogan
I keep my bald hair going.
My lower bald hair I shave off because there's some gray ones in there I'm trying to avoid, but my upper pews, I leave those bitches alone.
I trim them a little bit.
brian redban
When I lived alone, I would take Nair and put on a trash bag and roll around like a pig.
unidentified
Really?
Just to get it all over my back.
And then you can get the scraper, so then you would have to get like a towel.
joe rogan
And you rub yourself?
unidentified
Just rub hard.
joe rogan
Really?
Does it work?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Wow.
Brian, Innovative Hair Loss Methods by Brian Reichel.
I had a nice, fat, thick mountain man beard for a while.
Back when I was doing that Evan Tanner tribute beard, I had a good one going, but I had to shave it for something I had to do.
unidentified
Rejoin the human.
Rejoin society.
joe rogan
Well, back when I came back from Colorado too, I was really thinking about growing one in Colorado, but that might push me well over the edge.
When I was living in Colorado on the top of a mountain, if I had a beard up there too, I probably would've got way close to an animal.
If I let myself all get crazy hairy.
brian redban
Was there any point of living there that you were just outside and you were just like, holy shit, this is scary.
unidentified
What am I doing here?
Yeah, definitely.
joe rogan
It was definitely scary.
But that was part of the appeal of it to me, is that it was so off the grid.
It was so outside of the way a normal person every day gets to experience life.
I was living in the fucking woods.
Not just kinda in the woods.
I was living on 150 acres on the top of a mountain in Boulder, Colorado.
Outside of Boulder.
I mean, it was like 9 miles above Boulder.
It was pretty trippy.
8,500 feet above sea level and all sorts of wildlife.
Deer every day.
I was on a dirt road for 8 miles.
Every day I would see deer.
Every day I would see foxes.
Occasionally I would see porcupines.
People saw a bear.
I never saw a bear.
I saw a mountain lion in my backyard.
I mean, you saw a lot of shit.
Eagles all the time.
I mean, it was really intense.
It was so real.
It was so like...
You know, you're driving, you're seeing wild animals, like real wild animals, big fucking 10-point bucks walking down the street, you know?
It's very, very interesting.
It's just the fact that you can live somewhere like that.
I think people get stuck into patterns, and I think it's real easy to get stuck in the same way of thinking, the same way of looking at the world, and nothing changes that, like, moving to a new place for a while, and moving to a place that's as stunning as the mountains of Colorado.
I would love to go back, but...
It's just not practical to have a wife and kids and, you know, and have little vulnerable babies and being around fucking wild monsters.
I mean, my dog got eaten by a mountain lion when we were up there.
That's for real.
Like, we saw a mountain lion.
I let the little dog out by himself.
Dog disappears.
I mean, that dog got eaten by a fucking mountain lion.
You know, which is very likely.
And those animals die of predation up there all the time.
It's very common.
They even prey on animals.
They get used to them.
They get used to...
Recognizing and associating the barks.
Barks are these animals with prey.
And so they go towards where they hear barks.
So it's actually kind of dangerous when you have a fucking house with dogs barking.
Because sometimes these mountain lions, like if they're hungry, especially if they're old, and they can't catch deer anymore, they know these dogs are like in a cage.
unidentified
They're like, hey, I'm food, I'm food.
joe rogan
They hop over that fence like it ain't shit.
Jack dogs, they do it all the time.
They're scary as fuck.
unidentified
Do you think people that sleep with guns underneath their pillows, if that's just fake, somebody said it once to impress a girl?
joe rogan
Oh no, I know a guy who does it.
unidentified
Really?
joe rogan
Yeah.
unidentified
Doesn't that seem like that's dumb?
joe rogan
Well, if you want it and you want it to have it right there, if you live in a place where you think you're going to need it right there.
unidentified
Really?
Wow.
joe rogan
I mean, look, it doesn't seem like it's a good idea, but what if someone breaks in your house and you need the gun and you just go like that and you've got the gun?
And that keeps you alive.
You know, there's that way of looking at it.
You know, there's a way of looking at it like, hey man, if you think that way, man, fucking nothing can happen to you, man, as long as you think positive.
You can think that way.
You can be one of those dudes that goes through life convinced that nothing ever bad is going to happen to you.
You know, I mean, that is possible.
You might sneak through, but shit might get ugly.
And shit gets ugly.
You want one of these bitches?
This shit's important.
unidentified
That's cool.
joe rogan
You gotta have guns, ladies and gentlemen.
unidentified
Wow.
joe rogan
I believe in the Second Amendment.
unidentified
That's really cool.
joe rogan
I believe...
unidentified
Dude, we should go shooting sometime.
I haven't been shooting in so long.
Let's do it.
There's a place right out here.
Really?
joe rogan
Let's go.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
There's a place a couple miles away.
unidentified
Dude, I want to go shooting so bad.
joe rogan
Let's go.
Let's go on Monday.
unidentified
Cool.
joe rogan
I think, yeah, definitely gun control is important.
You've got to definitely screen people.
You've got to definitely make sure that people can't get access to guns that are fucking crazy.
And that's the problem with a lot of gun shows.
There's a lot of people that sell guns at gun shows that don't give a fuck if you're licensed or not.
They're just trying to make some money.
There's been exposés on that where they've shown that people in gun shows will sell guns to people that are not really supposed to have guns.
But...
Guns are out there.
They're fucking out there.
There's millions of them.
You should have one.
If there's millions of guns out there, better to have it than to need it and not have it.
I'm an optimist.
I'm not a pessimist.
I believe that most human beings are good, but I've come across way too many fucked up people to have complete and total blind trust in the human race.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
I just don't.
I've seen way too many fucked up, violent things happen.
I've seen way too many crazy people I've come in contact with and had to deal with.
Way too many fucking crazy people.
There's a lot of people out there that you can't reason with.
There's a lot of people out there that are just broken and nuts.
And that's real.
unidentified
Oh, is that Santa's Bells?
joe rogan
Santa's Bells is leaving a message?
unidentified
Santa's Bells?
joe rogan
Where?
unidentified
No, no.
I meant, is that Santa's Bells?
joe rogan
Oh, you're saying we have to end this?
Alright, ladies and gentlemen, we're going to have to end this real soon.
What UFC super fight would I like to see?
Brock Lesnar vs.
Fedor.
That's what I would like to see.
That's what everybody should want to see.
That's a diaper.
This is my reality, ladies and gentlemen.
I've got diapers in my office.
My boss office with my Make Me Hard poster.
I've got a fucking...
unidentified
What's Oakley split?
Don't...
joe rogan
I don't know.
unidentified
We'll talk later.
joe rogan
Oh, that's those eyeglasses that are MP3 players.
Oh, right.
That's the kind that Dog the Bounty Hunter wears.
unidentified
That's hilarious.
joe rogan
Alright, ladies and gentlemen, this has been very interesting.
We are up to 379 motherfuckers.
I want to thank you for tuning in.
We're going to do this much more often now that I have this set up.
I finally installed this webcam that I bought like five fucking years ago.
unidentified
You gotta get your internet updated.
You get a new HD camera.
joe rogan
I'm gonna get my internet updated.
unidentified
They have HD cameras now.
59 bucks at Amazon.
Look for them.
joe rogan
For this?
unidentified
Yeah.
Well, no, you don't.
That's actually an old camera now.
joe rogan
That's not good?
unidentified
No.
joe rogan
But it looks okay.
unidentified
Yeah, it looks okay.
But see, it's not in HD. You can be broadcasting HD right now.
joe rogan
But isn't that like more bandwidth for people to download?
unidentified
Yeah, but now when you have 20 megabytes, you know, crazy internet.
joe rogan
Oh, but it doesn't affect them.
It affects them downloading it.
It only affects us up-streaming?
unidentified
Uploading, yeah.
joe rogan
Once I get the internet to do it, I'll make it HD so you can see how ugly I am.
Like, that nigger's ugly.
Alright, what else we got here?
When or the next time I'm going to be you streaming Johnny Bananas?
That's a very good question.
I think what I'm going to try to do is...
My ultimate goal in 2010...
I'm trying to write a book right now and I've been spending a lot of time writing that and writing stand-up comedy and not so much time updating my website.
But I do go on Twitter because Twitter's fun for me and it's like a little exercise in writing to make things short, make them 140 characters.
I think that's fun.
So it is.
It teaches you to like, you know.
unidentified
Edit your shit.
joe rogan
Yeah, and with comedy that's very important.
Economy of words is what it's called.
And in stand-up comedy, it's very important.
The less words you can use to make a point, the funnier it's going to be when it hits people.
The more verbose it is, the more it's not funny when it gets there.
So I think Twitter's real good for that.
But my point is, in 2010, my main goal is more on the internet.
More shit like this, more Ustream shit, more Twitter, and definitely more blogs.
But I'm gonna start doing more video shit.
I got a cool flip thing from the UFC for Christmas, which is perfect.
I'm gonna bring that bitch with me everywhere.
I'm gonna start putting shit online on YouTube on a really regular basis.
And I know there's a little Ustream streaming thing for the iPhone.
We're gonna try that shit out, but it's probably gay.
unidentified
Yeah.
If you're on Wi-Fi, it's not bad.
You actually see the chat on the screen, too.
joe rogan
Oh, really?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
If you're on Wi-Fi, it's good.
unidentified
It's good.
joe rogan
Yeah, I mean, I've tried on 3G. But if you're on Wi-Fi, that means I'm on a fucking computer.
You know, why fuck around?
unidentified
Unless you're at Denny's.
You know?
joe rogan
Denny's has Wi-Fi?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Amazing.
unidentified
Every place has Wi-Fi now.
joe rogan
Welcome to 2009, people.
Shit is getting crazy.
Well, listen, I gotta go.
I gotta go eat dinner with my family.
I don't wanna leave people hungry.
We gotta exchange presents and all that good shit.
I love you motherfuckers.
Thank you very much for tuning in.
And we are gonna do this again.
Don't know when, but within a week, right?
We'll commit.
unidentified
We should do it once a week.
joe rogan
We'll commit.
We're gonna do this once a week.
unidentified
Two hours, once a week.
joe rogan
Two hours, once a week.
unidentified
I think that's a good idea.
joe rogan
I love you guys.
Thank you very much.
Bye-bye.
unidentified
Two hours once a week.
A movie is two hours.
You do a movie once a week.
joe rogan
Yeah.
unidentified
You know what's so funny?
I was thinking is how gay is this all going to look looking back at it in 50 years?
joe rogan
So do we save this?
Do we save this recording?
unidentified
No, I think it saves it to your page so people can go to your page.
Hit stop and see what it says.
I did.
joe rogan
You stopped it.
unidentified
Oh.
joe rogan
See?
unidentified
This is stopped.
Wait.
No, you said stop.
Stop broadcast.
Hit stop.
