Speaker Time Text
joe rogan
we got snow bells and whistles We gots no guests.
We ain't gots shit.
This is the 100th episode and it will go to 100 the way it began.
With no form.
Not knowing what the fuck we were doing.
Sitting in front of a laptop with snow.
The stupid karaoke snow effect.
brian redban
Yeah, I listened to it today actually on the way over here.
unidentified
It's brutal.
brian redban
It's unlistenable.
There was times where there was like 15 seconds, 20 seconds of dead air where we're just fucking sitting there like looking at things.
joe rogan
Yeah.
That wasn't really supposed to be on iTunes.
We should have never let it go on iTunes.
brian redban
Yeah.
joe rogan
What it is, you know, we were just fucking around.
What started?
Was it Anthony Cumia's show?
brian redban
Actually, I remember a while ago when Justin TV came out, we used to always be on the road in the green room, and I always tried to set up a video in the green room thing.
We did it a few times with Joey Diaz, and then Joey Diaz got pissed and twisted my finger.
Remember that?
He got mad because he didn't want the camera on anymore, and he grabbed my hand and started twisting my finger.
It was crazy.
He got really upset.
joe rogan
Joey, I think, Joey has to be funny all the time in his eyes.
And when Joey's backstage, if he's just sitting there like, what?
What do you want to do?
Well, I'm not even hungry.
He doesn't want people to see that.
He doesn't want people to see the normal, average, everyday Joey.
He just wants Joey when he's on.
Right.
brian redban
So yeah, after that incident, I was like, alright, I'm not doing this anymore.
And then we tried it again.
joe rogan
Joey's a lot more sensitive than you think he is, man.
Joey said something to me.
Remember when I came down, when we were headed to the show in Portland and Joey got mad?
brian redban
Yeah.
That was ridiculous.
That came out of nowhere, too.
It was just me and him sitting there waiting for you to come down.
joe rogan
It was really weird.
I mean, the bottom line was, I had to take a shit.
And sometimes...
Who's that, me or you?
brian redban
It's probably...
joe rogan
It's probably me.
You know, when you have to take a shit, sometimes you don't time it well.
Sometimes, like, you're running out the door, I'm like, God damn it, I think I gotta go.
Let me just see if I can get this out real quick.
And I was like...
I'm like, God damn it.
I do have to take a shit, but I haven't had enough lettuce today.
brian redban
I hate that, when you have to speed up a shit.
unidentified
That's the worst.
brian redban
That's not cool at all.
joe rogan
It's not healthy.
The worst is when you're thinking about not taking a shit, and then you do, and you go, God, I can't believe I was just going to walk around for the next couple hours with that inside of me.
unidentified
Yeah.
brian redban
Or the girlfriend shit, where you get a new girlfriend and you can't shit in front of her.
joe rogan
I shit in front of everybody.
You've got to deal with it.
brian redban
You have to.
joe rogan
I don't mind if they do it either.
It's life.
brian redban
Yeah, but it just kind of sucks.
You just meet this girl, you're trying to be all sexy and hot, and your bathroom's right next to your bedroom.
joe rogan
I'm just gonna tell her, listen, here's the deal.
I'm gonna go take a stinky shit, hope you can deal with it.
If you're not, you don't get no more of this good dick.
That's what you gotta tell her.
Just let her know, man.
It's a commodity.
brian redban
You didn't look through my camera, by the way, that I left you.
joe rogan
No, I did not.
brian redban
God damn it, that's great.
joe rogan
No, I did not.
And if I did, I wouldn't...
brian redban
You know me.
I did my first...
Well, not my first, but my one or first or second home movie, sex movie.
joe rogan
Oh, really?
brian redban
And we were just like, let's see what it looks like.
joe rogan
Do you like how you look?
brian redban
No, because it was a side profile, and I noticed that my gut just kind of sits on her ass when I'm fucking her.
I've never noticed that before, so now I'm looking at 24-hour fitness and shit like that.
joe rogan
Your gut rests on her ass like a fanny pack.
brian redban
Yeah, it was crazy.
And I left it here, though, and immediately when I saw it, I'm like, oh my god, that video could easily have just gotten out, and that's how it happens.
joe rogan
That is how it happens.
Yeah, you fuck around and leave a phone behind.
brian redban
Exactly.
Jason Tebow has this thing with Sam Tripoli that every time they leave their phone around or somebody gets their phone and it's unlocked.
joe rogan
Take pictures of their dicks.
brian redban
Yeah, or put black dicks and stuff like that.
Jason likes black dick.
And last night, Jason did his mom know and was saying, I like black dick and stuff.
joe rogan
Did his mom?
What do you mean?
brian redban
She left.
She was like, oh, look at these photos I took.
And so he did his mom's Facebook and put like, you know.
joe rogan
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
His mom left her phone behind.
brian redban
Yeah.
joe rogan
So he took her phone and got on Facebook and put pictures of black dicks?
brian redban
Yeah.
Or I don't know if he put black dicks, but he said something like, I really like black muff or something like that.
joe rogan
Whoa, really?
brian redban
Yeah.
joe rogan
His mom?
brian redban
Yeah, his mom's pretty sweet, though.
She's pretty sweet.
She's a lesbian.
She just hangs out with the boys type thing.
joe rogan
His mom's pretty sweet.
You sound like Cartman.
unidentified
She's pretty sweet.
joe rogan
Yeah.
His mom is pretty sweet.
I had one friend that had a mama who was a lesbian growing up.
But he never admitted it, man.
Took it forever.
Took forever before he came clean.
brian redban
Oh, he knew about it?
joe rogan
Everybody knew.
His mom was living with this woman with a crew cut with big arms.
She would wear Larry the Cable Guy clothes.
She would wear sleeveless shirts, sleeveless vests and shit.
And she had these big floppy truck driver arms.
And she was a dyke.
There was no getting around it.
But she was.
My friend did not want to come clean, though.
unidentified
Why?
joe rogan
Everybody wants to be normal, man.
Everybody wants to be normal.
You remember Joey Diaz's stories about wanting to be a white kid?
brian redban
Yeah.
He's not white, that's right.
Well, I mean, that's kind of ridiculous, though.
joe rogan
You hear that, bitches?
That's called a slurp.
People go, I hate when you make that slurping noise.
Can't you turn your microphone off?
Just fucking deal with it, man.
brian redban
When I was listening to episode number one in the car, that was another thing that the mic sucks so bad.
There was parts where things were dropping and just blew your speakers out.
That's pretty annoying.
One thing I didn't know is a lot of people say, why do you use Stitcher?
I had no idea.
I talked to the president recently and we were talking about the whole incident and stuff like that.
joe rogan
The incident.
brian redban
The RSS incident.
We had a beer.
And he said a lot of things that I had no idea that Stitcher did.
And one thing was that Stitcher normalizes the whole audio.
So when there's big loud bursts and stuff like that...
joe rogan
Which is what we should be doing.
unidentified
We should be doing.
brian redban
We actually used to do that, but it made the audio too quiet.
I don't know.
I'm not an audio engineer, but it didn't work right.
joe rogan
Yeah, we need compression.
unidentified
Yeah.
brian redban
I heard that compression was actually not the way to go, though.
A lot of audio engineers that work at radio stations here in LA actually told me that that's not the way to go, is to use software post.
But who knows?
joe rogan
Post.
Yeah, but then you have to edit it.
You have to put it through post before you...
brian redban
Well, I think it's just a plug-in in the program I use, which is Logic, and it automatically just does that.
joe rogan
Right, but you have to run it through the program, meaning you can't do it live.
brian redban
Right, right.
joe rogan
They're doing it live.
brian redban
Yeah, they're doing it live.
joe rogan
By saying there, I'm talking about the Adam Carolla show.
I have podcast envy.
I went to his setup.
It's so dope.
There's something cool about that you and I are just chilling in my office.
We always do it this way.
It's either in your office or in my office.
That's what we do it.
There's something cool about that, but his setup is pretty fucking sweet.
He's doing a radio show.
brian redban
You actually got one of the same mics that he uses, I guess Marc Maron and him both use.
And we tried it out and it didn't sound as good.
joe rogan
Well, ours is a lot louder.
But I think a part of that is this show is a little more unstructured.
So there's people leaning back and yelling and stuff like that.
There's not really any of that going on in Marin's show.
There's not really any of that going on in the Carolla show.
I think for our purposes, these are better.
brian redban
Do you listen to any podcasts besides, you know, or do you just kind of here and there?
joe rogan
I listen to Disinfo.
I listen to Psychedelic Salon.
Psychedelic Salon's kind of cool because it's a podcast, but really it's a bunch of old audio recordings, like old Terrence McKenna recordings or, you know, stuff like that.
So I listen to that stuff, but...
Honestly, I try to listen to the news.
I listen to talk radio for two reasons.
One, to see if there's anybody that I agree with.
And two, to see if there's anybody that's just completely out to lunch.
I listen to Patriot on Sirius Satellite Radio.
The reason why I listen to it, it's all fucking bananas.
It's all these crazy assholes that want to bury gold and they're ready for the whole thing to come tumbling down.
They got their guns ready.
And this Obama, what he's trying to do with this air gun...
You know, it's those guys.
brian redban
You don't fall for that shit.
That doesn't get in the back of your head.
Like, oh my god, you're right.
We need to collect gold.
joe rogan
No.
brian redban
You don't fall for it.
joe rogan
Come on, man.
I think if the shit hits the fan, gold's not what we're gonna need.
We're gonna need bullets and gasoline.
That's what I think.
Bullets, gasoline, guns, places to stay, somewhere you go where there's no radiation.
When the shit hits the fan, there's so many...
Human beings have devised so many ways to fuck each other up that if something ever really chaotic happened at this point in time...
Where we really went into, like, nuclear warfare.
Man, the gold ain't gonna help you, dog.
brian redban
Every time I'm away from L.A., this is the reason, one of the things that maybe we should leave L.A. someday, because every time I'm away from L.A., like, I was out of town this weekend, and when I was away, I was like, now's a good time.
If shit was to happen, this would be a good time, because I'm kind of out of the crowd.
I could escape easier, you know, because there's not a whole bunch of traffic in Solvain, and, like, I think I have, like, a whole suitcase of shit.
I have my computers and stuff.
My...
joe rogan
I think at a certain point in time, it becomes completely unnecessary to be in such a large group of people.
The only benefit of it is that because there's so many people, you're going to get, and especially because it's such a desired area, you get a lot of fascinating people here.
brian redban
Yeah.
And if you move to Denver, what are you going to do with the podcast?
Fly Freddie Lockhart out on a plane?
unidentified
I don't know.
joe rogan
I think what I could do is, there's three comedy clubs in Denver.
There's two comedy works, and there's one improv.
I could talk to the people that are coming in for that.
I can interview them.
brian redban
Make it like a radio show, kind of.
joe rogan
Yeah, there's local comics.
There's a strong local comic scene in Denver.
So I could always have those guys come on.
And we could do Skype, too.
I did Ariel Helwani, his MMA show.
I did it yesterday.
And I did it through Skype.
It's pretty badass, man.
brian redban
How did it sound?
joe rogan
He sounds great.
I used that stupid blue snowball microphone.
The only thing that's kind of fucked, though, is that you can't hear your own voice.
brian redban
Right.
There's ways to set it up that you could, definitely.
You could use these mics as an example.
joe rogan
Yeah, and if I had it set up like this, like if I had it set up like this in Colorado and you had it set up like this in California and we just Skyped it together, we could do a podcast.
It'd be pretty easy.
Then once I show you how sweet Colorado is, you're going to want to move too.
brian redban
Yeah.
joe rogan
But there's not as many of your type of girls out there.
unidentified
Yeah.
brian redban
I know.
joe rogan
You'd have to change your standards.
brian redban
Yeah.
I don't know.
Hippie is just what's mostly there, right?
Like people that are working out and hippie.
joe rogan
Yes.
Bolder is a lot of that.
Bolder is hippie and bolder is people that are in really good shape.
brian redban
Right.
joe rogan
But no one wears makeup.
No one looks like a whore.
brian redban
Yeah.
joe rogan
Shit.
brian redban
That's kind of a bummer.
I'm going to have to get the girl pregnant or something.
joe rogan
There's not a lot of girls like the ones that you're around all the time in California.
That's very rare for the whole world.
brian redban
Yeah, well that's, you know, I go ups and downs.
You know, my dating is not, it's like a stock market graph.
You know, it's like I don't really look for what I date.
joe rogan
I understand, but what I'm saying is, living in Los Angeles is giving you access to these girls.
brian redban
I know, why leave that?
That's worth it.
unidentified
That's worth death.
brian redban
At least you die with a hard-on.
joe rogan
I mean, you can find hot chicks in Colorado, they're just not gonna...
I'd be quite so needy.
brian redban
Yeah.
It's fucked up.
You know, ever since I got in this relationship, I already see my stand-up going away.
Just like how it always does.
It's like, hey, do you want to have sex and hang out with this hot girl?
Or do you want to do stand-up and hang out with four guys that you barely know?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
You've got a tricky situation, because if you really want to do stand-up, you can't just do it during my shows or half-assing.
brian redban
Right.
So I'm making myself go to night, but I've been writing.
Because when I'm, you know, I'm not writing as much either.
joe rogan
Yeah, you're weak.
unidentified
Weak.
joe rogan
You just give in.
But it's easy to do, man.
I did that when I was in high school.
I used to have a whole joke about it, about how when I was in high school, I played baseball, I did all these sports, until I started getting laid.
And then I was like, whatever with all that other stuff.
My parents were like, what about baseball?
I'm like, yeah, I found this new thing.
I think I like it more.
Once you start having sex, I'm like, why am I playing baseball?
That shit's boring.
brian redban
Yeah.
You don't have your first set on tape, do you?
joe rogan
No.
No.
unidentified
Do you?
brian redban
Yeah, I watched it the other day.
It's awful.
It's horrible.
What sucks is just everything sucks.
joe rogan
Do you like the new ones, though?
brian redban
I like the new ones, definitely.
It's definitely...
Before, you could see the nervousness on stage.
I mean, this was 2003 or whatever, but it was gross.
I can't even fucking imagine.
joe rogan
It's hard to watch my sets from last night, even if I killed.
It's still weird.
It's hard, even if you're killing.
But man, if you're not killing, ooh, it's painful.
It's so painful.
brian redban
Yeah.
joe rogan
You gotta figure out, bro, if you really want to do it.
Because if you really want to do it, there's only one way to do it.
You gotta go gangbusters.
You gotta put together an act.
You got a rare opportunity, man.
You're on the road with me all the time, so you get to do these sets in front of these giant crowds.
brian redban
I guess how I look at stand-up is more as I enjoy doing it kind of like, I like doing it playing baseball.
I like bowling, but I guess I'm not looking as in a career-wise.
And I don't think I ever want to do it as a career-wise.
I think, if anything, it's just a workout for this podcast even.
joe rogan
To make you more comfortable?
brian redban
Yeah, just more comfortable, thinking up funny ideas, and just being creative.
Because if I'm not doing this, then I'm painting.
If I have to be doing something, and right now it's just...
joe rogan
You just have so much in you, you need to get out.
brian redban
Yeah.
unidentified
Right?
brian redban
Shroom is really nice to reset that, though.
You need to shroom again soon, man.
I shroomed the other day, and it wasn't the best one, but it definitely just opens up how you look at everything.
joe rogan
It's a reset.
brian redban
Yeah, definitely resetting.
joe rogan
I do that every time I get in the tank.
The tank's a big reset.
You need to try that.
But yeah, any opportunity that you have to just fucking step outside of the whole thing and just relax.
Let's take a look at this.
Let's assess this from an even position.
So many times in life, man, you're just on momentum.
Every one step from the next, it's like there's something pushing behind you and you just keep moving.
brian redban
Have you ever forgot to take off a condom after sex?
joe rogan
Ew.
brian redban
No, like, sometimes, you know, like, I'll have sex, and then, you know, when I come, and then I'll take the condom, throw away, put a new condom on so I can continue, and then not come again, but I forget I have that condom on.
joe rogan
You're getting way too personal.
brian redban
I know, I know.
I was trying to clean it up a little, but...
I was shrooming, and then I went to go piss.
And I'm sitting there going, ugh.
joe rogan
And you're peeing into the condom?
brian redban
Yeah, I didn't know the condom was on, and I didn't hear the water, and I'm like, what the fuck?
joe rogan
You might be the laziest motherfucker I have ever met in my life.
unidentified
You're so lazy, you can't even take your condom off to pee.
joe rogan
I can't be bothered.
It's all the way down there.
brian redban
No, I didn't know it was on there, but it's crazy how much pee comes out so fast, because it was like a full balloon when I looked down, and the first thing you do...
joe rogan
How the fuck does it stay on your dick?
brian redban
I don't know.
It stayed on pretty...
I guess pussy just dried or something.
I don't know.
But what's crazy, your first thing to do is like, holy shit, and so I just kind of pulled it off, and the weight of the pee dropped into the toilet and just started spraying out back out of the toilet, and it would piss everywhere.
It was fucking...
joe rogan
That doesn't even make sense.
How does that condom stay on you while you're pissing into it?
unidentified
It did.
brian redban
It didn't.
It didn't fall off.
joe rogan
What kind of lube did you use?
brian redban
I didn't.
You know what I did?
I think I might have had some flesh lube around.
No, I didn't.
No, I didn't.
joe rogan
So it was just whatever lube was on the condom.
brian redban
Yeah.
Yeah.
joe rogan
Wow.
That's fucked up.
brian redban
Tight condom.
It was a tight condom.
joe rogan
That's ridiculous.
Did you go over your balls?
brian redban
Huh?
joe rogan
That's another joke a friend of mine, Amir Golan.
Fuck, I forget what his fake name was.
He used to have a fake name that he used to use on stage.
I kind of forget what his name was.
But anyway, he had this joke about...
I remember the first time I put on a con that was really tight.
I got back from the bathroom.
The girl was laughing at me.
I was like, this is fucking painful.
Why are you laughing?
unidentified
She goes, it doesn't have to go over your balls.
joe rogan
Fucking idiot.
He had a bunch of great jokes.
Here's another one.
Yeah, my friend got his girlfriend pregnant.
They were having anal sex.
The baby looks like shit.
I feel stupid, but...
brian redban
Oh, fuck.
joe rogan
Anyway, you're so lazy you don't take off your comments.
brian redban
No, I just forgot.
I was shrooming having sex.
joe rogan
Do you ever feel like an incredibly lazy person?
Do you ever look at some of the shit that you say?
brian redban
Like lazy in general in life?
joe rogan
Yeah, just like...
brian redban
I always think I have some kind of...
I got my thyroid checked, and it was fine.
But I always think that I always have had some kind of...
I always feel like I need speed.
I need something.
When I drink so much coffee, it doesn't feel like it does anything.
joe rogan
Do you think you have ADD or something like that?
No, I wouldn't say ADD. Or do you one of those fucking buckle-up Republican guys?
unidentified
There is no ADD. When I was a kid, they were just nutty.
joe rogan
They were just nutty kids.
They're not diseased.
Stop coddling them.
brian redban
No, I probably think it's because I just don't work out.
I don't do shit like that.
That my body's just in fifth gear.
You know, just slow.
joe rogan
Right.
Yeah, you need to kick your body in the air.
But all this humping should be doing something for you.
brian redban
Yeah, absolutely.
joe rogan
Shouldn't that be firing up your fucking testosterone banks?
Bang, bang, bang.
brian redban
Yeah.
joe rogan
No?
brian redban
Yeah, sure.
I don't know.
What were we talking about?
joe rogan
We were talking about you being lazy as fuck.
brian redban
Yeah, I think it's either exercise or it's probably some kind of deficiency of some kind, probably, that I need.
joe rogan
Well, I know friends that are on that Adderall shit, and they just said, oh, I needed it to concentrate, and...
Okay, I guess, but it's speed.
I can't think you're going to last very long on speed.
I don't like what it feels like.
I'll have a cup of coffee during the podcast, and one cup of coffee is fine, but if I have two cups of coffee during the podcast, after the podcast is over, I feel all amped up.
I feel like, ugh.
brian redban
See, I don't.
I don't feel that.
joe rogan
I feel shitty.
unidentified
Really?
brian redban
I don't feel that at all.
joe rogan
You don't get, like, there's a lot of energy in your system?
brian redban
No, it doesn't work.
But what I do notice is that I clench when, instead of feeling that energy, I'll find myself like...
unidentified
Really?
brian redban
I'm clenching my teeth really hard.
What the fuck?
I don't know.
joe rogan
Out of nowhere?
brian redban
I do it all the time.
I noticed on the way home yesterday, because I had two cups of coffee here yesterday, and I noticed I was driving, and I'm like, why am I clenching my teeth?
Like, I don't know what it is.
Like, it's all going to my jaw.
joe rogan
Dude, you've got to be one of the weirdest motherfuckers I've ever met.
brian redban
I do it all the time.
If you look back at old Ustreams, you'll see this line on my...
I do this and I bite my cheek.
joe rogan
And are you thinking about anything while you're doing it?
unidentified
No.
joe rogan
Or are you just doing it?
brian redban
I'm just clenching.
joe rogan
It's like you have this energy that you've got to get out.
brian redban
Yeah, in my mouth.
joe rogan
Squeeze off around.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Wow.
Maybe you have some, like, unaddressed energy issues.
brian redban
I do.
joe rogan
You know?
Maybe if you, like, started doing something like throwing the discus or something, like, really physical, like, maybe you would, like, feel much better.
brian redban
I've been trying this Xbox dance game on Kinect.
It works pretty good.
I love that shit.
joe rogan
When are they going to have some sort of a martial arts game?
Where a robot does certain moves and you can kick it.
It moves forward and you can punch it.
It doesn't have to do much.
It just has to be a target.
brian redban
I think this Kinect thing, I don't know if you know what Kinect is, it's like that webcam thing that you put on top of your TV and it detects your body.
It works.
I don't know.
I haven't played that much, but the games I've played are fucking badass.
It's like where you just hold up your hand.
You can even do Netflix where you're streaming through movies going like this with your hand moving it left to right.
You're streaming through movies, and then if you want to pick one, you pull your hand out and grab it.
It's kind of like Minority Report or whatever, but they have games too where you don't have any controllers anymore.
joe rogan
So how accurate is it?
How effective is it?
brian redban
You know, from what I understand, it's not the best, but I have never noticed it not being accurate.
I think it's pretty accurate.
So I've heard the opposite.
joe rogan
So as long as you're not playing a first-person shooter or something where you'd have to be really precise.
brian redban
I think it's good enough for that.
I think it's really based on lighting and clothing.
Because the girl I was with was wearing a dress, and it couldn't detect her separate legs, so it was kind of fucking up.
So she took off her dress, and then it worked perfect.
joe rogan
Oh, it's a trick.
It wanted you to be a whore.
brian redban
Exactly.
joe rogan
That's what it is.
brian redban
That's right.
Well, that's what I told her.
It's because you have a dress on.
joe rogan
There's too much clothes on.
God, what are you doing over here?
That's crazy.
So now, if you're using it as a first-person shooter, how do you pull triggers?
brian redban
See, I don't know.
I haven't played a first-person shooter, but what I would imagine...
I don't know.
That'd be weird.
I don't know how they're going to do it.
We can't talk about that one thing, but there is a crazy first-person shooter that...
joe rogan
We can't talk about something?
brian redban
No, no.
joe rogan
Why not?
brian redban
Because I don't think it's known.
joe rogan
Somebody tell us this?
brian redban
No.
The video that I showed you that Kevin Pereira might have showed us.
joe rogan
Oh, right, right, right, right, right.
Yeah, that's all.
unidentified
Incognito.
joe rogan
I didn't know what the fuck you were talking about.
Yeah, because you've got to think, if you're doing a first-person shooter, you've got to deal with two things.
One, how do you simulate movement?
Like, how do you go forward?
You know, you're running.
How do you run forward, and how does the machine know you're running back?
Yeah, but because you're not moving forward, though.
brian redban
No, I think it's something to do with your hands.
Like, because with the dance game, it was like, you do something like that, that means forward.
You go like this, and you shake your hand to the right, that means you're shooting.
joe rogan
Well, ideally, what you would want is like a giant, Dome, or a ball rather, and you'd be inside that ball, like a hamster ball.
brian redban
Right.
joe rogan
And that ball, you have like some sort of a 3D helmet on, like a complete, you know, what is it?
Virtual reality.
Complete virtual reality helmet on.
And then you would be walking around with this ball, you could walk in any direction.
You know, it wouldn't feel totally real, like you'd kind of be realizing that you're on a ball and then you're stuck in this, you know, in this thing.
But that would be, I mean, other than that, how the fuck else could you simulate movement?
Unless you just did it inside, like, the virtual reality.
Then it wouldn't even be virtual anymore.
You'd have to do it inside, like, put a program and then make a program the exact parameters of, say, an airplane hangar.
And then you have an empty airplane hangar and they walk around inside that hangar.
It's all wired.
You could do it that way.
But then that kind of defeats the whole purpose of virtual reality, right?
The idea is that you're supposed to be able to do it wherever you are.
brian redban
Yeah.
Would you ever go to Burning Man?
joe rogan
No.
brian redban
Why not?
joe rogan
Too many hippies.
brian redban
Too many hippies.
joe rogan
I learned about hippies when I moved to Boulder.
I like them in theory.
brian redban
Yeah.
joe rogan
I like them in theory.
I don't like a lot of people that are asking for money all the time.
I find that shit be very annoying.
I don't like people playing shitty songs and wanting a dollar.
brian redban
Right.
joe rogan
You know, for the most part, they're cool, but, you know, there's just, there's too much of that hippie movement that wants people to help them, you know, and this is how I feel about that.
If I felt like everybody was on the ball and everybody was doing their best, and, you know, I'm a generous person, and I think one of the things about being generous is if you have the opportunity to do so, It feels really good to be generous, especially if it doesn't affect you.
It's not like you're being generous and it's hurting you.
So I think it's important.
But in passing, say you're passing love to the left, and there's a big circle of people, man.
The real problem is there's a lot of fucking people that never keep passing the love.
They take it and then they walk away.
There's some people that are always there for you.
There's some people and they're doing their best and they're living their life and you're doing your best and you're living your life and you're helping each other.
Hey man, can I borrow your truck?
I gotta move.
Fuck yeah, man.
Come on over.
Dude, anytime.
You got my shit.
We're friends.
You help me, I help you.
We're all together.
But we all know the few people that don't contribute.
They always need something and they don't contribute.
And my experience, that's my experience with hippies.
That's my experience with...
A lot of people that are really into socialist ideals, a lot of it is because they're fucking lazy, man.
They're fucking lazy and they don't work that hard.
And they don't do their part.
And they somehow or another feel like the whole system's unfair, man.
Which, fuck yeah, of course it is.
Of course it's unfair.
Of course it's corrupt.
Of course it's fucked up.
But that's not why you're a loser.
There's a lot of people that aren't losers.
Most people are losers because they're lazy as shit.
And they want to blame other people for that.
And they want to blame society.
Look, society is completely fucked.
But guess what?
It's not like there's one person that makes it fucked.
The whole thing is it's fucked because it's on a foundation of bullshit.
It doesn't make any sense.
But knowing that, you see what it is.
Make your path.
Make your path.
Figure out something that you can do to feed yourself, okay?
Figure out something you can do to put a roof over your head.
Just figure it out, man.
Fucking figure it out.
It doesn't mean you have to be a fucking asshole to be successful.
It doesn't mean you have to be a part of the system, man.
No, just stop asking people for money.
Stop being a fucking mooch.
Get your shit together, okay?
That's my problem with hippies.
My problem with hippies is Part of the whole idea of being a hippie is being really nice and being really relaxed.
And sometimes life does not call for that.
Sometimes life calls for you gotta get off your fucking ass and make something happen, man.
brian redban
Yeah.
joe rogan
You know?
There's a lot.
I had a friend who his girlfriend was having a baby.
This is many, many years ago.
And I had a fucking scream at this guy.
This guy was unemployed, and he couldn't get his shit together.
He couldn't make something happen.
He was trying to be a comedian for a while.
That didn't work out.
And then he was trying to do some other stuff.
He was trying to do some radio and a bunch of different things.
And we had this conversation, and I'm like, man, you've got to realize you're going to become that fucking guy.
You're going to become that unbelievably pathetic guy who can't feed his kids.
You gotta fucking do something, man.
You gotta make something happen.
And, you know, it's not, hey, you know, we really need some food.
Do you think you could help us?
That's the hippie approach.
To go to people and...
You gotta make your own fucking way.
You gotta make your own way.
And that was my problem with Boulder.
And that would ultimately, I'm sure, be my problem with Portland.
It's a bit of my problem with San Francisco.
And it's not that I'm not a kind person.
I'm a very kind person.
But I recognize the difference between someone who's in need and someone who's fucking lazy.
And there's a lot of people that are just weak.
They're weak as shit, man.
And they have no philosophy to live their life by.
They have no...
Discipline that they've developed over years of trying to accomplish things to the point where they have this sense of personal sovereignty.
They can take care of themselves.
And occasionally everybody needs help.
But if somebody will help you if they know that you're the type of person that will help them, and if you know that you're the type of person that does their best, What drives me nuts is when someone wants help.
I'm like, motherfucker, you're not even helping yourself.
Like, look what you're doing for yourself.
And you want someone else to step in and manage your fucking situation?
That's ridiculous, man.
That is the number one problem with the whole idea of everyone together, man.
The real problem is that everyone doesn't do their fucking part, man.
That's the real problem.
There's a lot of lazy bitches in this world.
brian redban
Yeah, the reason why I was asking about Burning Man is I've often thought the same thing, like, fuck hippies, you know, because I've been there, done that.
I hate it.
You know, I hated the people, too.
The lazy hippies.
There's good hippies and bad hippies.
joe rogan
Yeah, there's great hippies.
There's legit hippies.
brian redban
Right, but I hung out with bad hippies.
It got bad, you know, so.
joe rogan
It's like everything else.
It's like MMA fans.
I have a lot of friends that are MMA fans.
I have friends that have graduated from Harvard.
I know guys who are scientists.
The guy who created Beavis and Butthead, Mike Judge.
Huge MMA fan.
There's a lot of intelligent MMA fans.
But then there's a lot of idiots.
brian redban
Yeah.
But I was looking at these videos lately because the girl goes every year or whatever.
And so there is some fucking cool shit going on at Burning Man.
unidentified
I'm sure.
brian redban
And I guess you can rent these big RVs, you know, and that's the way to do it.
It's to have your RV. You don't live in a tent or whatever.
They have showers and stuff.
But there's this thing called...
I don't know if you've ever heard of it.
They're called...
Let's see.
What are they called?
Hermose...
Shit.
It's zeotropes.
Have you ever heard of a zeotrope?
Zeotrope.
I'm sorry.
Zoetrope.
Zoetrope.
Z-O-E-T-R-O-P-E. What it is, is it's like a carousel type thing, like a merry-go-round.
And each couple feet, there's some kind of sculpture.
It's like a monkey hanging from a vine.
And then the next one, three feet over, is the same monkey, but it's kind of changing a little.
So when it turns, and you have a flashing light that just flashes at a certain rate, it looks like the monkeys are moving.
So it's in the middle of this desert, and they have these statues of people diving down into the ground that just melt into the ground.
They have these monkey that are spinning.
Check this out right here.
Here's a monkey one.
I don't know if you can see this.
Here's a monkey one.
joe rogan
Oh, that is badass.
brian redban
And it's fucking trippy.
joe rogan
So basically what they've done is animation.
brian redban
Animation, yeah.
joe rogan
Just like the old claymation models they used to use for King Kong and shit.
brian redban
Yeah, or like an old flip book where you draw on a flip book and you flip it through.
joe rogan
That's badass, man.
I'm down with the artistic end of it.
I'm down with the whole idea of all these artists getting together and doing cool shit.
I just think there'd be a lot of stinky people.
brian redban
I just wonder why, or maybe they have, why doesn't a collection of people like yourself do a comedy show while they're there?
Because that is...
Huge.
joe rogan
No, I'd rather not perform there.
If I was going to go there, I just want to hang out, have fun.
brian redban
Well, I mean, you can hang out.
Imagine performing once like a Woodstock of comedy, psychedelic comedy.
joe rogan
There would be so much mushrooms and so much everything else going around.
brian redban
Too much fun.
joe rogan
I would be too fucked up.
I wouldn't want to be talking on stage through a microphone.
That's the last thing you want to do when you're on shrooms.
brian redban
Well, I mean, yeah, you just don't do shrooms that hour and a half, two hours.
joe rogan
Yeah, I think if you're there, you just want to experience it.
That's what I would want to do.
Yeah, I perform enough, man.
I perform plenty.
You know, I think...
Freddy Soto used to say this back in the day.
You know, people used to offer Freddy gigs at, like, bars and stuff like that.
And he's like...
No, thank you.
I appreciate it, but I only do comedy clubs, man.
That's it.
And that was his...
He just was like, it's not worth it, man.
You go to these bars and everyone's talking and you can't do your act right.
You rush it because you're trying to get their attention.
And he was totally right.
You know, he's totally right.
And that's kind of how I am right now.
I only do shows...
I'll do, you know, here's my show.
I'm at this theater, come see me.
I'm at this comedy club, come.
And then there's no problems.
There's no hassles.
It is what it is.
But if you're just doing a fucking, like you're at a tent with some speakers and you're on this stage and all these people are all, they're all fucked out of their minds.
You know, why should they pay attention to you?
They shouldn't.
You would feel illegitimate standing there asking them to.
If you knew that everyone in the crowd was on mushrooms, you would have nothing to say.
Unless I'm on mushrooms too, what am I going to tell you guys?
I'm not going to tell you shit, man.
You're communicating with the alien overlords right now.
You know, these beings that have come on asteroids and their spores have infested this earth.
You're communicating with them through eating them.
What, I'm going to tell you some stupid dick jokes?
brian redban
Yeah, but you're pretty known for being a psychedelic speaker.
I mean, you always do the marijuana shows here in town and stuff like that for the same reason to the same kind of people.
joe rogan
Yeah, but I think part of being into psychedelics and understanding psychedelics and have had psychedelic experiences, it sort of negates any idea of you wanting that sort of attention, like doing a show.
When you're doing a show, the beautiful thing about a show is that people enjoy it and they have a good fucking time.
They come see a comedy show, but that's not what you want to do when you're jazzed out of your head.
If you're on psychedelics, You don't want to go see a comedy show.
I don't want to see anything structured.
I certainly don't want someone on stage forcing their...
There's a lot of things you say on stage in a comedy show that's just to get a laugh.
That's what it's there for.
It's there to spice up the show, to have more fun, and those things will stand out like fucking wet shits in your underwear.
They're just like, oh, what's this?
If you're on Mushrooms, every jokey joke that you have will just be like, bleh!
brian redban
Bring Doug Benson some black lights and some body paint.
It might be a good time.
joe rogan
Doug Benson would just be hugging girls.
Hi, you can have a hug too.
unidentified
Come have a hug.
joe rogan
I've never met anybody who's high more consistently than Doug Benson.
brian redban
Yeah.
joe rogan
Every now and then he'll send me a tweet.
You're high right now, aren't you?
Or a text message.
You're high right now, aren't you?
I'm like, I know you are, motherfucker.
brian redban
It's so funny because I never knew that was real.
unidentified
What?
Really?
brian redban
When I first met Doug, I thought the whole marijuana thing was kind of like an act, kind of like an Andrew Dice Clay, kind of like he was doing it.
I mean, he might have smoked weed, but I didn't think he was the crazy stoner.
And just after hanging out with him that first night, oh, fuck, yeah, immediately, he's like, every five minutes, hey, let's go back to your hotel room and smoke some other joint.
joe rogan
Yeah, those guys like to go deep, man.
There's some dudes who go real deep.
Those guys involved in the medical marijuana, like normal, and those guys go so deep.
We were, not normal, but the cannabis cop, that was the deepest that I've ever been.
There was on Melrose.
In Hollywood, I was one of the judges, and it was at a head shop, and they closed the head shop down, they papered up the window so no one could see inside, they put a doorman in the back, locked the front, and then they turned the whole thing into this cannabis cup party.
Really fucking bold move, man.
Because they did this shit in the middle of Hollywood, and the place was just filled with weed.
I mean, it was unbelievable, and no one stopped.
They just kept going deeper and deeper and deeper.
Until I left there, I went to get something to eat.
I was like, there's no way I can drive home right now.
I just gotta hang out for a few hours.
I gotta hang out.
I mean, most of the time when you're high, driving is not an issue.
Because driving is not any more complicated than walking.
As long as you're not smoking indica, as long as you're not smoking some dopey weed, if you're driving and you're high, just be extra careful.
Watch what you're doing.
It doesn't affect your hand-eye coordination.
I mean, I do jujitsu on weed.
I kickbox on weed.
It's not a problem, but...
But I was so high then, I was like, no fucking way, man.
There's no way I'm going to drive this thing and risk not being in control of my senses.
I'm going to have a cup of coffee and have some food and just fucking sit back and read my cell phone for a little bit.
Go over my notes.
I'll sit down for a bit before I drive home.
It was too stupid.
Because you get to a certain point when people are like, everybody's handing you cookies.
Here's a vaporizer bag.
Hit this.
This is a new blunt paper that I developed.
Hit that.
And everyone's passing joints left to right.
It's like a never-ending, like a cyclone of joints getting passed around.
It was fucking ridiculous.
But you get to this point where...
You're not even high anymore.
It's not like you're high anymore.
It's like you're not there.
It's like you're in a room and the room has one window and it's a circular window.
And the room is like four by four wide.
You can't even move.
There's not even a toilet in it.
It's just you.
You in that room and that circular window.
And that circular window is now how you view the rest of the world.
You're looking out that window going, what the fuck is going on out there?
Because this is crazy.
I don't even know what's happening out there.
That's what it's like.
It's like you're detached from the world.
You're so high, you're detached.
But those things, if anybody ever wanted some sort of argument against the cause...
Right.
Go to one of those cannabis cups, man.
The good thing is, man, everybody is friendly as fuck.
I've been to, shit, a hundred medical marijuana shows or, you know, parties or parties at the Playboy Mansion.
I've never seen so much as an argument.
Never seen a raised voice.
brian redban
Yeah.
joe rogan
Never seen a push.
Never seen anybody get crazy.
Not even girls, you know?
I mean, every time you go out, some girl will be talking shit to some other girl.
Everywhere.
In Vegas, in LA, anywhere.
So, If you stay around the night long enough and pay attention, you're gonna hear some girl yell at some girl.
Right?
brian redban
Yeah, totally.
Definitely.
joe rogan
But not in those weed shows.
Those weed shows, everybody's just so nice.
brian redban
Yeah.
joe rogan
It's just people, if people really realize what it could do for you.
You know, so many people, like, I have a friend who's, like, super organized and, like, he's, like, really ambitious and he produces television shows.
He's, like, a real go-getter.
Very nice guy.
But he's so anal and he's just fucking wound up about shit.
He only wears black.
He won't wear anything other than black.
brian redban
Oh, really?
joe rogan
His whole, like, you open up his wardrobe, it's black shirts.
brian redban
Isn't that shit weird when somebody does that?
Or they only wear the white t-shirt, like John Caparello?
Is that his name?
joe rogan
Does he do that?
brian redban
He only wears a white t-shirt, you know, like, every day.
joe rogan
That's like his outfit.
brian redban
Yeah.
joe rogan
His uniform when he goes to work.
brian redban
Yeah.
joe rogan
Does he wear it, like, when he goes out on dates, on that white t-shirt?
brian redban
That I don't know.
But there's definitely people...
joe rogan
Why don't you ask him out on dates?
What's up?
unidentified
That vagina for me.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brian redban
But there is people like that that only wear certain things.
joe rogan
Well, this dude isn't just badly in need of a joint.
I keep telling him, I go, dude, just trust me, man.
Just trust me.
Just try a little weed.
It'll help you relax.
Mike, you're a good guy.
You got a lot of good things going on.
You just need a little fresh perspective, man.
brian redban
And it's totally true.
You had a live proofing the other day on that podcast 98. It was like, you just need to smoke weed.
Immediately after smoking weed, everything was great.
joe rogan
Podcast 98, aka the Disaster.
brian redban
The Disaster.
joe rogan
Brian Whitaker apparently is very upset with the depictions of him on that podcast.
He's been tweeting mean things to you.
brian redban
Yeah, he started attacking me on Twitter just like today.
I was like, dude, alright, the thing I'm saying is I'm trying to make sure that people that are at home Can listen to this podcast and understand what's going on instead of having a million people talking at once.
There was no attack on you.
joe rogan
I understand what you're saying.
So for the people that don't know about that podcast, it's not worth listening to.
It wasn't a good one.
But he just had an issue where he didn't know how to be on a podcast.
He didn't know that you can't talk while other people are talking.
And he didn't have a chance to prepare.
He just got thrown into it.
He didn't even know he was going to be doing it.
We've talked about him too much.
brian redban
Yeah, we have talked about him.
joe rogan
He's a good dude.
He's just...
He's out there doing his thing, and it's hard out there for a pimp.
brian redban
Yeah.
But at least it's easier when you work at the improv.
You know, you get stage time.
joe rogan
Oh, is that your dig?
Is that your last dig, Adam?
Because he had a dig at you.
You get a lot of people that hate on you, man.
brian redban
Of course.
I've always had that.
Ever since I started talking to you, I've been getting haters.
joe rogan
Ever since you started talking to me?
Yeah.
Well, man, people don't want to respect the Red Band.
brian redban
Yeah.
joe rogan
Because people...
Well, whenever you do something, I mean, even you do comedy, people look at it and, God, it looks so easy.
I could do that, too.
You ain't even funny.
I could fucking do that.
But then, you know, they look at you and, like, what, does he know how to edit some videos or something?
Fucking, I can do that, too.
brian redban
Right.
joe rogan
You know, they just...
They look at someone who's in a nice spot.
And they think, what the fuck?
Right.
Why isn't that me?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
You know?
It's hard to not be jealous, man.
There's some ingrained shit I see with my kids.
unidentified
Right.
joe rogan
It's really interesting.
The three-year-old and the one-year-old.
Sometimes the three-year-old would get upset at the one-year-old.
If the one-year-old is getting too much attention, she'll take things from her and stuff.
It's just nature.
Nature wants you.
You want to collect all that love.
That's why people develop great personalities.
They develop great personalities because they realize somewhere along the line with rewards is that when you have a great personality, the reward is people are always nice to you.
You get all this nice energy.
People want to be around you.
That's the reason why great personalities get invented.
Because people become whores for other people's love.
That's really what it is.
It's a beautiful thing in both ways, but really the root of it all is that people really want positive attention.
So when you see jealousy in little kids and then you see jealousy in grown adults, You know, you see like really petty shit and haters and I love to go on like those gossip blogs, you know, and just to read, I don't even know who these people are, you know, but someone will, you know, it'll be someone from The Bachelor or someone from, I just like to read the comments.
I don't even know what the fuck the story's about.
Half the time I campaigned his baby and his mom and they're in court.
Whatever, whatever.
What's going on in the comments?
And I go down to the comments and it's just hate.
brian redban
Yeah, it is hate.
joe rogan
It's evilness.
brian redban
And it's ridiculous because when people...
The biggest thing is like, if it wasn't for Rogan, this, that, this, and that.
I'm like, yeah.
If it wasn't for Rogan, he saw my work.
He liked what I did.
He hired me.
joe rogan
You're talking about me like I'm not even here, bro.
brian redban
I know, but what is like a company, like NBC, like Jay Leno should, you know, people are mad at Jay like, if it wasn't for NBC, you would be nobody.
You know, it's me getting Joe seeing my work and then hiring me.
I got a job.
joe rogan
It's really simple.
He's an artist.
brian redban
Hello.
joe rogan
He's an artist and he was creating things that I thought were very worthwhile and so I hired him.
It's really simple.
brian redban
It's pretty easy.
joe rogan
And, you know, and people that, you know, there's a weird dynamic.
And people are like, you know, how are you guys friends?
You guys are so different.
Like, you don't have to be the same as your fucking friends, man.
That's silly.
You know, if everyone was the same, then you'd all be running around saying the same shit and cock-blocking each other.
brian redban
Listen to Paula Abdul.
Opposites attract.
joe rogan
Is that what you said?
brian redban
I think.
unidentified
Opposites attract.
joe rogan
I heard Forever Your Girl the other day.
unidentified
Forever Your Girl.
brian redban
I miss the music on the podcast, Joe.
joe rogan
Yeah, I do too, man.
We can't do that shit anymore.
The Sirius deal is signed, ladies and gentlemen.
brian redban
Is it signed?
joe rogan
Yeah, it's all done.
unidentified
I mean, I haven't written my name on it, but they did.
joe rogan
But I'm gonna.
So we're gonna have it on Sirius.
It'll be 12 episodes.
We have to get ready.
We have to pull music.
If we have music on, we have to check them.
brian redban
Oh, really?
We're doing back episodes?
joe rogan
Yeah, we're gonna send them 12, and then we're gonna go live.
brian redban
What's your 12 favorite episodes that we've ever done?
Not 12, but what's your top five that you've ever done?
joe rogan
Top five.
Well, my number one favorite, just...
Just for sheer far out factor is always Duncan.
Duncan's my favorite.
Because Duncan's just so fucking weird.
And when he starts chanting Buddhist mantras and talking to you about the Bhagavad Gita, he just gets me going, man.
Duncan and I, and he doesn't have these conversations he says with anybody else either.
He's like, he and I have just this weird chemistry.
When we get together, it's all crazy talk.
The other day I called him up.
I called him up yesterday because I said, hey, we're doing the 100th podcast today.
Maybe you want to walk in halfway in and sit down with us.
I was thinking maybe that would be cool to have guests come over while we're doing it.
And he goes, I would love to because he's in the middle of this show that he's putting together.
And he goes, I did mushrooms last night, man.
I was surrounded by elves.
I have so much to talk to you about.
brian redban
Yeah, I was scared to fucking eat mushrooms.
joe rogan
He said, I was surrounded by elves.
He said, I did more mushrooms than I've ever done.
I was surrounded by elves.
So Duncan's going to be in the podcast next week.
brian redban
Sweet.
joe rogan
And he's going to tell us this whole thing.
And you recently went shrooming up in Northern California?
brian redban
Sylvain.
It's like north of Santa Barbara.
joe rogan
Wouldn't the world be a better place if people just did that?
If they had retreats, you know, instead of going...
I mean, even have these wine tasting retreats.
How about right next to the wine tasting retreats?
A mushroom retreat.
brian redban
Yeah.
joe rogan
Go there.
Everybody's going to be nice to you.
It's all soothing sounds, and you're in a comfortable room, and the shaman are all experienced.
Everybody who works there is professional.
You pay a couple hundred bucks a day or whatever the hell you do, and you just blast off.
brian redban
It's pretty amazing how much better wine tastes when it's at the vineyard.
I don't know why, because it's all the same.
It's bottled.
joe rogan
Is it, well...
The ones who offer the tours, are they like really known labels?
brian redban
Yeah, oh yeah.
These are like the big dogs.
joe rogan
Do you remember the names?
brian redban
I don't remember any names.
I usually buy wine by the bottle.
Like if it's got a cool bottle, I'll buy it.
unidentified
Really?
brian redban
Yeah.
There's kinds of wines I like.
I like Merlots.
I like shit like that.
But I just usually go by the bottle like, oh, that's a crazy cat on that, you know?
joe rogan
Yeah, I never used to go...
If I was on a date, perhaps, back in the day, I would order a glass of wine or a bottle of wine, but I would never order a glass of wine while I was eating dinner.
But now I do all the time.
I do all the time.
I like a nice, strong red wine with a steak.
It just tastes better.
There's this thing, the flavor is all combining.
And as I've gotten...
Matt Lichtenberg, my buddy, Is a huge wine fanatic.
He's a wine geek.
He has this crazy wine cellar in his home with some insane amount of money worth of wine in it.
He's one of those guys that can tell you why a wine is good and what year it's good and what part of the country it comes from and all that kind of shit.
And when you're around a guy like that and they know so much about wine, then you start to sort of appreciate it.
Like, oh, okay, this is some weird tasting art form.
It's like they're trying to create this ultimate taste and it's a very specific taste.
And if you're not, it's a weird thing, like the whole idea of acquired taste.
I used to think that was so stupid.
Like, why would you acquire a taste for something like caviar?
The fucking stuff, you know, it's super expensive, and it really kind of tastes like shit when you first take it.
Why wouldn't you just, okay, it tastes like shit forever, and this is what it is.
I don't have to worry about it anymore.
But no, people get into it, and then they start getting more and more expensive taste.
Then you're getting stuff that's thousands and thousands of dollars.
Salty, fucking stupid fish eggs.
Well, wine is kind of like that, too.
The first time you try wine, when you're a little kid or something, who the fuck would get into that?
But when you really get a nice Pinot Noir and a delicious steak, and you're cut into that steak, and then you have a sip of the wine, all the flavors together, it takes a while to appreciate it.
But knowing someone who knows as much about wine as I do, I mean, he tells me so much about, you know, it's all about how they put it in what kind of barrels they use, store it, and how they store it, and how long they store it, and how long has it been bottled for, and...
brian redban
It's pretty amazing.
One of the wineries I went to, they did cheese pairings, which is cool because you think, okay, they're going to mix this cheese with this wine.
Yay, it's going to just taste like cheese and wine.
joe rogan
Now, if I still use the word faggot, which I don't, I might throw it at you right there.
I'm going to be honest with you.
brian redban
Yeah, I like cheese.
You like cheese?
unidentified
I do too.
brian redban
You like wine, right?
joe rogan
I do.
It just sounds fruity-tooty.
brian redban
Yeah, it does.
joe rogan
You say, oh, I went to a cheese pairing and a wine tasting.
brian redban
Dude, you know how wet that pussy gets when you're going to a wine and cheese tasting?
That's the most ridiculous wet pussy you'll ever see.
joe rogan
Because they feel normal for the first time in their life.
Exactly.
Like, I'm normal.
Brian's a good guy.
He's not taking me to see Poison in concert.
brian redban
That's right.
unidentified
I'm not fucking taking you to Motel 6. It's a wine tasting in the middle of Northern California.
joe rogan
He's an amazing guy.
brian redban
That's cool.
You know what?
joe rogan
But you went for the fun of it.
You didn't go just to him.
brian redban
It was more like, hey, want to get away.
No internet.
No work.
joe rogan
What's it like up there?
brian redban
It's beautiful, dude.
It's crazy mountains.
There's this huge lake at one point.
I forget the name of it.
North of Santa Barbara.
There's this humongous lake where it's just best fishing I've ever met.
joe rogan
Now, are there families up there?
Or is it just...
unidentified
Couples mostly?
brian redban
I saw families.
I saw families.
But it was a lot of bed and breakfasts.
There's a lot of nice historic old hotels that you go in and there's just like every room's unique.
That's what we stayed at.
Like this place called Peterson at the Inn or the Inn at Peterson.
joe rogan
Is this near Santa Ynez?
brian redban
Yes, yes.
Right next to me.
joe rogan
Tom Likas used to always rant and rave about that, man.
brian redban
It's amazing.
There was ostrich farms where it was just huge fields of ostriches running around.
You can go there and get ostrich eggs and hang out with ostriches.
But they're running around.
They look like dinosaurs.
They look like...
It's amazing, man.
I highly recommend if you just want a weekend out of L.A., take the kids, go to some farms.
It's pretty relaxing.
joe rogan
Yeah, ostriches are creepy as fuck, man.
brian redban
Yeah.
joe rogan
All birds are creepy as fuck.
brian redban
Yeah.
joe rogan
You know, I've been joking around about it in my act a little bit about the mass bird deaths that happened, about how birds are really dinosaurs that survived.
But they really are.
I mean, that's the closest relative to the dinosaur is the bird.
And an ostrich is a fucking dinosaur.
It's a big-ass, weird-looking dinosaur.
brian redban
Yeah.
joe rogan
It tastes delicious.
You ever get the ostrich burger?
unidentified
Fuddruckers?
brian redban
Yes.
joe rogan
Strong, right?
brian redban
Buy me a Coke.
joe rogan
Yeah, I'll buy you a Coke.
You gotta have it rare, though.
Don't be a pussy.
You don't have to worry about mad cow with those bitches.
Just get that shit rare.
Fire that fucker up.
Feel that rare ostrich meat?
So delicious, man.
brian redban
Yeah.
joe rogan
It's good stuff.
brian redban
Would you go camping here in LA? Tent camping?
joe rogan
Shit.
I'm going to go camping where I can drive home.
The only time I go camping is if I'm too far away to drive home, and if I have guns on me.
I'm going hunting with Ricky Schroeder.
brian redban
Are you really?
joe rogan
Yeah, we're going.
We're going to this ranch where you can shoot boar, and they even have bison at this ranch.
And it's like you pay them for whatever you shoot, and then you go out onto there.
They have this giant hunk of property out near Riverside.
Out near San Diego, that way.
So I'm going.
brian redban
Oh, that's cool, man.
joe rogan
Yeah.
I've been wanting to go for a while.
I'm supposed to go hunting in October with Randy Couture.
With the natural Randy Couture.
We're going for a TV show.
So before that, I'm going to get some in with Ricky.
That guy loves hunting, man.
When I talked to him about it, his eyes lit up and everything.
He wants to come back on the podcast.
brian redban
I was going to say, Ricky to me was one of my favorites.
He's got some great stories.
My favorites were always the out of nowhere people, like the Ricky Schroeder, or even Kevin Pereira I think was one of my favorite ones of all time.
joe rogan
Kevin was awesome.
Ricky's got some interesting stuff going on right now too, man.
He just got some serious skin cancer removed from his face.
brian redban
Are you serious?
joe rogan
Yeah.
People walking around outside without sunscreen, man, be fucking careful.
If you see some little mark on you, man, People die from weird skin little things when you're out there getting burnt and you don't think it's a big deal.
And then you get melanoma.
He had a big chunk of his face removed, man.
brian redban
Fuck.
joe rogan
He's got a big scar right on his temple.
brian redban
Do you get checked a lot?
joe rogan
Yeah.
Well, I'm not at risk because I'm fairly dark skinned.
I get tanned pretty easily, but I don't fuck around the sun, man.
But Rick is pale.
He's white like paper.
You gotta be careful as fuck.
And he's always out in the sun.
He's like Mr. Outdoorsy.
He's got this giant piece of property, and he's got property in Colorado.
Ricky Schroeder's an interesting guy, man.
He's a super outdoorsman character.
He's always out there chopping wood and shit and getting things done.
He wishes he lives on a farm or something like that.
I think growing up poor, or rather growing up super rich, Growing up rich and famous from the time, as early as he can remember, he was a celebrity and he was rich.
So he's always had so much fucking money that I think he likes driving around pickup trucks.
He likes doing manual labor and shit like that.
But when you do that, you've got to put your sunscreen on, homie.
Yeah.
Especially California, out here, this fucking heat, the sun constantly beating down on you.
People get cancer.
You gotta be careful.
brian redban
I have a bunch of moles.
I'm a very moldy motherfucker.
But my mom's had a few cut out.
Really?
Yeah, so I recently went, because there's this one that I have on my back that always is like crunchy.
That's not good.
Yeah, it's not good.
It's not crunchy.
It just feels, like, different than all the other ones, you know?
And sometimes, you know...
joe rogan
Imagine if that was your problem, and they pull that out, and all of a sudden, boy, you get think clear, and fucking start going to the gym.
That mold was like a little vampire just sucking the life out of you.
brian redban
So I went there, and she's like, no, that's fine.
It's normal.
And I'm like, really?
Why is it...
No, that's just the kind it is, or whatever.
And then she showed me pictures, like, if it ever looks like this, come back.
joe rogan
It's Annie Oakley-style, look at your back with a mirror?
brian redban
Yeah, exactly.
What the fuck's that about?
joe rogan
What is it supposed to look like when it's bad?
brian redban
It's like red around it.
It looks kind of like...
When she showed me, I was like, oh yeah, yeah, that looks bad.
Not this little mole that's a little flaky or whatever.
joe rogan
Yeah, when are they going to fix that?
Moles can kill you?
Keep a good eye on your mole because it might be a bomb?
brian redban
How are you supposed to see that?
joe rogan
Especially if you get it in a weird place.
What if you died of a mole that was right near your asshole?
Who looks at their asshole?
brian redban
I only look at assholes in hotel rooms.
joe rogan
Well, a girl's asshole.
You look at a girl's asshole if you're banging her from behind, but do you look at your own in a hotel room?
brian redban
Yeah, because that's the only time where there's good lighting and good mirrors.
I'll sit on the counter and just fucking spread open and go, oh, look at my butthole.
joe rogan
Really?
brian redban
Once in a while you should check it out just to look at it.
I mean, when was the last time you looked at your butthole?
joe rogan
It's been a long time.
unidentified
Exactly.
brian redban
What if you opened it up and there was this big purple thing in it?
joe rogan
I wait for signals from it.
If it's sending me signals saying something wrong, constant itching, weird noises, then I'll go check it out.
brian redban
Fucking itchy asshole.
Have you ever had an itchy asshole?
For like a couple days, it was just non-stop.
joe rogan
It's a Louis C.K. bit.
brian redban
It's also a Dane Cook bit.
joe rogan
That's weird.
How did Dane Cook and Louis C.K. get up with this thing again?
brian redban
It's a very common joke.
joe rogan
That does happen.
We've all had itchy assholes.
brian redban
I was thinking about itchy assholes and I was like, oh yeah, that's right.
There's like 3,000 jokes about itchy assholes.
joe rogan
Yeah, there's quite a few.
I mean, the issue with Dane and Louie, obviously, was that Louie had done it first, but...
Yeah.
Butthole jokes are quite common.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
If you think about a subject and it's an obvious subject for a joke, chances are someone's already done 100 jokes on it, you know?
You know when I looked up the other day?
You know, I'm writing this chapter in my book.
with porn.
And so I was talking about the moment that I realized that the internet was taking porn to a whole new level was the moment, I forget who it was, it might have been Duncan, sent me an email and the email heading said "Home Run" and then I opened up the email and it just said "I love people" in all capital letters and a link.
So I clicked the link and it opens up, it's Belladonna on all fours with a baseball bat stuffed in her asshole.
I mean, it's stuffed in there.
Fat and first, which I didn't even think was possible.
And I remember double facepalming like the Home Alone kid and going, this bitch is just taking shit to another level.
She stuffed the baseball.
And then I thought about it.
Or is she taking it to another level?
And I went and did a Google search.
And there's 2,800,000 hits for baseball bat in the ass.
brian redban
Yeah.
It's normal.
It's normal shit.
When she did that, she used to tweet about that where she was stretching it out for a whole week.
Like, I got a big anal scene.
So she had all these butt plugs and she just spent the week getting ready for doing shit like that.
unidentified
Ugh.
brian redban
She doesn't do porn anymore, I heard.
I heard she retired.
joe rogan
Well, she had that really sad interview.
I don't remember what it was for, whether it was Nightline or one of those shows, but they made her feel bad about it.
And they asked her, what happened to you?
How did you become this porn star?
And they kind of go over her past and shit like that.
And then at the end, she was like, you know, I'm done.
I'm not doing this anymore.
And then they found out afterwards that she had done some more movies after she said that.
It was weird.
It was like, you know, you kind of wanted to root for her to get out of it.
And then she's still in it.
And it's like, you know, fucking...
Not everybody can be a ballet instructor, okay?
Some people are going to be porn stars.
And by the time they're that age where they're going to be porn stars, man, the least of their problems is fucking on film.
That's the least of their problems is that baseball bat in their ass.
That's the least of their problems.
The big problem is...
What have you become that you're letting someone put a baseball bat in your ass?
What has happened to you to get you to this point?
It's not the bat itself.
That's not the real issue.
It's who are you?
What kind of a strange person are you that you've got your asshole up in the air and there's a giant log in it, a big fucking bat.
And then there's 2,800,000 hits of that.
brian redban
But then you also think about if that only is bad if you think it is bad.
joe rogan
I don't think that's good for anybody's asshole.
brian redban
If it's like, hey, I could put a baseball in my ass, that equals $20,000.
joe rogan
Do you think they get paid that much?
Because I don't think they do.
brian redban
No, I don't think they do.
joe rogan
I think it's a couple grand if they're lucky.
And I think that might have been during the heyday.
You know, I think nowadays, I don't, you know, those girls were getting like half a million dollar vivid deals.
You remember?
I remember hanging out with Jenna Jamison's husband and he was a producer and he was giving me the whole skinny on how much money there is in the porn industry.
And this dude, you know, he had all the numbers and I was like, that is incredible.
Like there was so much money.
And then the internet came along.
The internet just robbed them all.
brian redban
Yeah.
joe rogan
Sucked it all away.
And now, I mean, how the fuck do you make money now doing porn?
brian redban
Well, I think there's definitely still money there.
It's more of you just have to do more.
Like, I know a lot of these girls, they'll do like, you know, like a spanking video and make $500.
Then they'll, you know, do another video later that day where it's just them masturbating and they get $1,000, you know?
So it's like, then you think of it that way.
It's like, all right, you just made $2,000 today.
joe rogan
And is it for a website?
Is that what it's called?
brian redban
Yeah, most of these are websites, you know, fetish websites or, you know, exchanging content.
I think that the weirdest thing about knowing all these porn stars, I think the saddest thing, is not even what, how they got into it or that they do it, because I don't have a problem with it, is that their future, because a lot of them don't have an idea.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brian redban
Once that, they're not wanting.
joe rogan
They're like athletes.
brian redban
Yeah.
joe rogan
They're like fighters.
brian redban
I mean, is that where you go to, you know, like a truck stopper, is that really older woman, then you're just like, wow, she used to be a, you know, playboy bunny.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Well, you know, look, this avenue, this internet avenue, has opened up the door to the point where there's way, way, way more porn stars than there ever were back in the day.
And porn is so much more available.
When I was a kid, the way you got porn was magazines.
When I was a kid, VHSs came out while I was in high school.
I remember we got one.
It was like a big deal at our house.
And my dad had a couple, my stepfather had a couple...
Porn's laying around the house, too.
And I got to watch those, too.
And I was like, what the hell is this?
You know, to go from, like, it never existed or every now and then you saw a magazine.
And the weird thing about those magazines were they had rules.
So you'd buy a porn magazine, but there was rules.
And one of the rules was the man couldn't have a hard-on.
brian redban
Yeah.
They still have those rules.
unidentified
Really?
brian redban
Yeah, like where they can't show insertion in certain magazines.
joe rogan
But some magazines they can.
brian redban
Yeah.
joe rogan
But back then it was all magazines.
Back then there was no magazines that showed hard-ons.
And I think, I mean, none that you could find.
And it was like, you know, you'd ask the guy at the counter if you were bold, you know, at the bookstore, but you didn't really want to ask him.
Like, hey, how come nobody's dick's hard?
What's going on here?
You know, you don't really bring it up to him.
But there was always like these weird poses where...
They would be in, like, not just one, but, like, 20 different poses, and in each one of them, the girl's, like, moaning like she's an exe, and the dude doesn't have a hard-on.
brian redban
Right.
joe rogan
Like, in every one of them, it's like, what is the message that they're trying to send you?
You know, what is the message that they're trying to send you?
Is it that...
This is just how the universe works and that women that are way hotter than you could ever possibly imagine will always wind up with gay guys and you're going to be alone by yourself jerking off onto pictures of them.
Is that what it is?
What is the message?
Why can't they have hard-ons?
They're naked and they're there.
And then the surreality of it all comes into play because you see all these 20 different scenes.
You're like, this bitch is not giving up.
In every scene, she's super enthusiastic.
She seems non-judgmental.
This guy can't get it up.
And she's doing everything for him.
She's posing.
She's got her ass up in the air.
She's lying on her back with her leg spread, sucking on her fingers.
She's letting him pick her up.
And he's holding her by the ass.
And his dick's still limp.
It's still limp.
And this bitch is just there for him the whole way.
Eventually, he's going to get a hard-on.
I know it.
I just keep posing for him.
And so she's in all these weird poses and never loses interest.
Never has the, you know, it should be like at least the 18th or 19th pose.
She should be like, what the fuck?
Like, what's going on?
Like, why do you have my legs spread and, you know, you're laying your limp dick on my pelvis.
brian redban
Right.
joe rogan
You know, like a drowning victim just pulled ashore.
You know, it's like slop.
I mean, that's what it's like.
He's got his limp dick and he's laying it on her pelvis.
Like, who's that for?
Like, who doesn't want hard dicks?
unidentified
Right.
joe rogan
Like, who was there that was like, this is where we draw the line.
You want to get all naked and crazy and pretend you're fucking?
brian redban
So if you had to look at a dick, it was either hard or limp.
You would pick hard all the time.
joe rogan
If I had to look at a dick, it depends.
If I'm beating off...
The last thing you want to do is be beating off to a dude with a limp dick.
brian redban
So you would rather have hard dicks?
joe rogan
Yeah, because you can't even imagine that that would feel good.
You'd feel like the guy would be embarrassed, and it feels pointless, and she doesn't feel good because he's not even excited.
So there's a lot of weird shit going on there.
At least if the guy has an erection while he's feeling good, it feels good, and at least she's happy that she can give him an erection.
It's a much more positive experience.
brian redban
Is it hotter for you if the dick is black or white?
joe rogan
I can't really relate to black dicks.
brian redban
See, I always like black dicks.
joe rogan
But I can relate to a black dick if it's big, but then a little tiny micro white dick.
brian redban
Yeah, I'd rather have hard black dick fucking a girl because for some reason to me that's knotier or something like that.
unidentified
That's knotier, really?
brian redban
I'm like, yeah, you take that big black dick, you know?
unidentified
Really?
brian redban
Yeah.
joe rogan
Really?
So you find yourself saying that as you're doing the stroking motion?
brian redban
I whisper it.
unidentified
Take it, big black dick.
Take it.
joe rogan
For real?
It makes it more naughty to you?
brian redban
Yeah, it just seems like you're getting fucked for realsies.
joe rogan
I remember some girl...
brian redban
For realsies?
joe rogan
Some girl came to the comedy store one night and she gave us the rules of being a porn star.
I think she was with Ron Jeremy.
And she was like, you know, rule number one is don't fuck black guys until they pay you.
You can't do it right away.
Don't fuck them until they pay you.
Rule number two is no anal for a long time.
You've got to keep it to yourself.
I'm like, you have strategies on what you hold back when you do porn?
Oh yeah, honey, it's a business.
Oh yeah, honey.
It's a business.
brian redban
Wow.
joe rogan
Yeah.
They strategize when to give up for the black dick.
You can't just right away start fucking black guys.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Settle into that a little.
Like some girls.
Like Jenna Jameson never fucked a black guy.
brian redban
Well, that's a big thing in porn.
Once you go black, you're actually considered different than if you did.
It's like a weird porn.
joe rogan
So why do any girls do black guys just for their career?
brian redban
Why do they do that?
Maybe...
I don't know.
joe rogan
They're just easy.
brian redban
Yeah.
They just want to fuck black guys, I guess.
joe rogan
Yeah, maybe.
Maybe they don't care.
Maybe they're there for equal rights.
brian redban
I guess, but a lot of the porn buyers are Southern and stuff like that, and once you fuck a black guy, I don't want that stupid slut.
joe rogan
Please.
There's a disproportionate amount of all interracial porn sold in the Deep South.
brian redban
Is that it?
joe rogan
Yeah.
I used to do a whole joke about that.
brian redban
Oh, that's right.
Yeah.
joe rogan
It's a true story.
It's a true statistic.
Yeah.
A disproportionate amount.
And it's not black guys buying that stuff.
It's scared white guys gonna look at that nigga fucking that white woman.
Oh man, I can't believe what he's doing right there.
Oh yeah.
brian redban
Stop looking me in the eyes.
Stop.
unidentified
Dirty bitch.
joe rogan
Yeah, I think that whole black-white thing eventually is going to go away.
I think we're all going to be like one strange shade of gray, you know, one mocha, one something.
brian redban
Mexican.
We're all going to be Mexican.
joe rogan
We're all going to be Mexican.
The black-white thing can't last.
It only lasted back when people couldn't move to other places.
When you were stuck in China and everybody else was in China, well, you fed off the same gene pool and you produced Chinese people.
You know, but once the Africans got to, you know, the Northern Africa and Egypt, and things started getting weird, and they took over, you know, Cairo, and then they move into other places, and then the Moors, you know, hit Sicily, and then all these, you know, fucking the Spaniards come over on boats and fuck the American Indians, and then eventually, eventually, we're going to be a world culture.
I just don't see how you can keep people from interbreeding for the next millennia.
I just don't see it happening.
I think in the next thousand years, we're all going to be one shade, you know?
They think that's what happened with Neanderthals.
You know, Neanderthals got assimilated into the population.
They used to think they went extinct, but now they think they sort of went extinct because women wouldn't fuck them.
But men would fuck the women.
Men, human men, would fuck Neanderthal women and make babies with them.
But Neanderthal men were like, what the fuck?
Nothing?
unidentified
Nothing?
joe rogan
And they just got on the outs.
brian redban
That would be weird.
What would that one final specie look like?
joe rogan
Yeah.
brian redban
Maybe that's the end of the world once you make Jesus.
joe rogan
Well, it's probably going to look like aliens.
brian redban
Yeah.
joe rogan
I mean, you look at the gray alien, the model alien, this big head and sexless body and no muscle tone.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
That's probably the next stage.
I mean, if you look at monkeys and then you look at us, what is the difference?
Well, the monkeys have smaller heads.
Our heads are bigger.
Our muscles aren't as big.
We're softer.
We last longer.
We have nutrition and information and all that stuff.
Physically, we're far weaker than the chimps.
They're going to be more weak than us with bigger heads.
Their heads are going to be bigger.
They're going to be more smooth and less muscular and sinewy because they're not going to need that.
They're never going to be in combat.
They're never going to be fighting for their life against other bodies and trying to take down animals to eat them.
They're moved way, way, way, way past that shit.
That's, I mean, the human-alien connection, you know, for a lot of people, they believe that what their alien image represents, whether it's real or imagined, what it represents is humans from the future.
And that the eventual metamorphosis of the human animal, the morphing, the evolving, will ultimately lead to something like that.
We look at inherently all our issues.
Well, first of all, we have sexual issues.
We have emotional issues.
We have, you know, anger issues.
We have all these things.
Well, all the depictions of the aliens, they've gone completely past all that shit.
You eliminate all your sexual issues if you can reproduce, you know, outside of a male-female environment.
If you're able to reproduce completely in laboratories or in, you know, petri dishes or whatever the fuck they're doing.
You know, if you're...
If the human animal moves past reproduction in a natural way, I mean, that might be...
What if they found out that babies were 100% smarter and they lived twice as long and they were five times more resistant to diseases if you raised them in a test tube, if everybody raised them outside of the womb in some new machine that someone created?
Well, every woman would want that.
Why would you want your kid to be stupid?
Because you want to carry it around inside you, you selfish cunt.
Put the baby in the machine.
unidentified
Right.
Right.
joe rogan
You know, and so that's what they would do.
And that's inevitable.
They're going to eventually come up with something like that.
The human body can only do so much.
You know, the human body, they're already figuring out artificial parts.
They already devised artificial hearts.
They've come up with artificial leaves that make photosynthesis.
They're going to have artificial wounds.
brian redban
Artificial electricity, you know?
Yeah.
From those artificial trees.
unidentified
Yeah.
brian redban
So we're going to be able to make electricity.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Yeah, we're going to be able to make electricity.
The solar power...
There's another thing that I got from Transcendent, man.
The Ray Kurzweil documentary that I watched.
Fucking awesome shit, man.
But he talks about the upcoming advances in solar power.
Solar power is going to be the shit, man.
It's going to be driving cars, man.
They're going to have solar-powered cars in the next 20, 30 years.
It's all...
All eventually is moving us towards the aliens, man.
I mean, they really might be the ideas of...
I don't believe...
I don't believe they exist or that they don't exist.
I don't believe that, you know, people are really seeing flying saucers, and I don't believe that everything that people see is a government spacecraft.
It's very possible that it could be something from another dimension or something from another world or something from some even hokey, ridiculous, cliche description from like a 1950s sci-fi movie.
I'm not discounting the possibility of that, but I've looked at all these different people, all their stories and all their...
It doesn't jive, man.
It doesn't jive to me.
I have a An awesome bullshit detector.
I'm currently reading this John Mack book.
John Mack was actually a professor at Harvard who started doing past life hypnotic regression shit with people.
Hypnotic regression, not past life, but in their past, like abduction stuff.
Because he was dealing with all these different people that had very, very similar experiences where they were abducted, you know, repeatedly over many times in their life.
But I'm looking at the work and I'm reading his stuff and I'm like, God, this is so embarrassing.
It's like squirrely work.
It's like this guy has he's gone.
He's made a conclusion in his mind already.
And what he's doing in his work is not like he's not exploring all the possibilities.
He's kind of like pushing towards this conclusion.
And the latest one that I'm reading is like, it's so sloppy because he's telling all these stories about all these people and all the, you know, they're, I want to know a lot of other shit about these people.
I want to know about what their experience was like, you know, first when I was eight.
I was alone in a cabin.
I knew something was there with me.
I saw the dark eyes in the corner of the room.
Really?
Were you on lithium?
Were you crazy?
Are you crazy at all?
Is anyone else in your family crazy?
Because there's a lot of crazy motherfuckers out there, and they tell some crazy stories.
And all you need to know about this whole UFO abduction experience, the one most important point, is that it all happens at night.
Well, when the fuck are you dreaming?
When the fuck do you have the most realistic, bizarre dreams?
The other night I had some crazy fucking dream.
I was on a dragon.
I was reading from these scrolls that the words would light up on fire as you read them so you could only read it once.
I mean, this is bizarre.
Yeah, it's a cool-ass dream.
But it was a fucking dream, alright?
It was really obvious to me when I woke up.
Like, wow, what a crazy-ass dream.
Well, what is a dream?
What a dream is, is your mind reaches a certain state in REM sleep, where rapid eye movement takes place, and all sorts of crazy chemicals, psychedelic chemicals, start being produced by your body.
And they all pass the blood-brain barrier, and you have all these nutty fucking experiences, and you and your cousin Mikey, and you're on sleds, and you're running from Godzilla.
Like, what is that?
Is that real sleds?
Should we investigate whether there's sleds in space, whether Godzilla's real?
No!
No, you should say, when did this happen?
Oh, I was sleeping.
Oh, you were dreaming, right?
Yeah, probably.
When were you abducted by aliens?
Well, I was in bed.
Do you think you were dreaming?
No, it was so real.
Oh, okay.
Let's write a book on how real it was.
unidentified
And you gotta say, no, it was so real.
joe rogan
Well, a lot of them, the interviews that they do with them are so telling.
They're really fascinating.
And not necessarily that the people are stupid.
And it's not even necessarily that they're lying.
Because a lot of them, I don't think, are lying.
I think what a lot of them are is, first of all, people live some boring ass fucking shitty lives.
They're boring as fuck.
And if something happens and all of a sudden that something gives your life meaning, like, oh my god, instead of it being some sleep paralysis thing where your brain has this endogenous dump of psychedelic chemicals that are natural in the brain anyway, instead of that being the case, like, no, no, no, I have been visited and I have information that I have to give to the people of the world.
Well, you know, if you have a natural psychedelic experience or if you have A real psychedelic experience where you take a drug and you're planning it out.
Either one is going to give you a very similar experience.
And that experience is, what you're doing is totally wrong.
Everybody's fucked up.
You need to get your shit together.
How about an analysis of yourself, an analysis of life on the planet, and let's look at this other than the way we're looking at it right now because this obviously isn't working.
That's the theme to every mushroom trip, the theme to every acid trip, the theme to every Time you eat a pot brownie.
You want to reconstruct the whole thing and put it back together again in a way that's rational and that makes sense.
And this experience these people are having when the aliens are telling them, well, we need to get your shit together.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You're high, dude.
You're high.
You're tripping.
You're seeing things in the closet.
It's that simple.
There's no evidence, man.
All these people that are talking, oh, I got a nick on my shin.
Look, this is where they pulled out the implant.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Get the fuck out of here, crazy.
You really think that aliens are going to leave little scars on you?
You pinched yourself, you crazy fuck.
You pinched yourself and made your own scar, you nutty bitch.
brian redban
Not to mention that there's so much technology now that people probably do kind of like pranky shit.
I got these helicopters that look like remote control helicopters and stuff like that.
joe rogan
Well, there's also government stuff.
That guy in Philadelphia the other day, thank you whoever you are, some guy came to the show and handed the manager a book, and the book got to me, and it's all patents on aircrafts that the government has, like U.S. patents.
unidentified
Oh.
Oh, cool.
joe rogan
For experimental aircrafts.
brian redban
Oh, very cool.
joe rogan
It's fucking nuts, man.
There's this crazy-looking, Klingon-looking ships and UFO-looking things.
brian redban
What's the book called?
That sounds nice.
joe rogan
It's not a book.
brian redban
Oh, he just gave you.
joe rogan
He put it together.
Yeah, he put it together.
It was pretty dope.
brian redban
That's pretty sweet.
joe rogan
Yeah.
And so, you know, I mean, you just look at the things that the government has and has admitted to designing and creating.
This is like a fucking giant amount of them, man.
When we were doing Fear Factor, we were out at Edwards Air Force Base, near Edwards Air Force Base.
I think it was Edwards.
It's out like near, we were in Palmdale, whatever the Air Force Base is out there.
It's a big one.
And I think it's Edwards.
And they were flying stealth bombers.
And dude, that is some crazy shit.
This was the beginning of the Iraq War.
It's like 2002. And they fly those things overhead, dude.
You swear to God, you're in Star Wars, man.
You swear to God, that is some shit from the Death Star.
When you watch that thing fly overhead, they don't make much noise, and they look like fucking alien spacecrafts.
It's dope.
You look at them like...
That is a fucking stealth bomber.
You can't see that thing with radar, man.
That's something designed to sneak up on you and fuck you from the sky.
And you can't even see it coming.
And it's black like the sky.
So you look up, you see just blackness, and it's black too?
You're fucked!
You're fucked!
brian redban
Shit's badass.
joe rogan
Yeah, it's all designed for killing people.
brian redban
Who do you want on the podcast in the future?
What is your dream, people, to get on?
I know, isn't Adam Carolla coming?
joe rogan
Yeah, Adam's coming next week.
He's going to be here on the 26th.
Adam Carolla will be there.
So what is that, seven days from today?
brian redban
Yeah.
joe rogan
Something like that?
Yeah.
Yeah, Adam's going to be on.
You know what, man?
My dream has already been not just reached, but surpassed.
When we first started doing this, when you and I first started doing this in episode one, we were just fucking around, man.
We were just sitting in front of the computer and we just thought it'd be fun to have some little kind of silly show that we would do for people that were on the message board.
That's mostly what it was.
And people on Twitter.
But now it's become like a radio show.
Now it's become...
This way to tell people about shows that we never had before.
You know, it used to be you would go on a radio show and, you know, you would hope that some of the people listening were your fans or hope that you could say something funny enough to convince them.
You know, on the radio, it's in the morning, you're fucking half awake.
brian redban
It's random people listening.
joe rogan
It's random people listening and who knows if you're even going to jive with the DJs.
Like, there's a radio station in Houston that apparently is still mad at me for being on their radio show back in...
Yeah, so it was like Fear Factor days, like 2002 or 2003. And they apparently still talk shit about me.
unidentified
About what?
joe rogan
They had me on, and I remember they wanted me, and I was probably tired.
And if I came off rude, I didn't mean to.
But they wanted me to eat some stuff.
First of all, they wanted me to eat some big hamburger they had.
And I'm like, no, no thank you.
I kind of like, I watch what I eat.
And also, in the morning, I have hypothyroidism.
So I take a thyroid medication.
And when I take it, I can't eat anything for like an hour.
And so I was on this radio show, and they're trying to get me to eat this stupid thing that they made in an Easy Bake Oven.
brian redban
Oh, I was there.
I actually filmed that.
joe rogan
Did you?
Yeah, those people are mad at me.
They still talk shit about me.
Like, I'm the worst person they've ever had on their show.
And I didn't even know they had an issue until I left, and apparently they were talking about me when I wasn't there.
When I was there, they were nice as pie to me.
But then when I left, they started talking like, the guy was so rude.
They had a gag, and I wasn't into their gag.
And I didn't go with it.
brian redban
It was stupid shit.
joe rogan
It is stupid.
And you know what?
They're not comedians, man.
And maybe they're not on my vibe, not on my frequency.
They're on their own frequency.
And they thought it'd be fun.
They thought it'd be cool if I played along.
But I didn't want to eat their thing.
And they didn't adjust.
They didn't adjust.
So then I'm like, why the fuck am I doing this?
And then it's like, look, when you do radio stations, there's a lot of different kind of radio DJs.
Some of them are really cool and easy to do.
And easy to do their shows.
And other ones, they want more attention than you.
And they're a little squirrely.
And they don't like the fact that you're on TV and they're on the radio.
And they get to be cunty.
You know, they get to be weird.
And they're looking for something to be wrong with you.
So if you're coming from some fucking television show and you want to eat their stupid Easy Bake Oven thing, you become an asshole.
Instead of, if that was me, and I had a guest on, I'm like, come on, eat the Easy Bake Oven!
And he won't do it.
I'd be like, what?
What kind of an idiot am I? I'm getting this guy to eat something.
This is all I've planned for this fucking thing.
I could be asking him a million interesting questions.
We could be talking about all kinds of crazy stuff.
But instead, I'm pissed that he won't eat my fucking tuna casserole out of a fucking Easy-Bake oven.
So these people apparently are still upset at me.
Well, you used to have to deal with those kind of people in the past.
Now that doesn't mean anything anymore.
Every show that I do now, I do nothing for.
No press.
I mean, I did Preston and Steve.
I called up for Philly, but it was after the shows were already sold out.
But I did it because I like them, because they're cool guys.
But when we do these shows now, we have our own radio station.
We have our own ability to promote the shows.
brian redban
And probably more listeners than ever compared to that radio station that hates you.
joe rogan
Yeah.
Well, that and it's all 100% your fans.
I hate that word.
All 100% people who appreciate your work.
So they already are enjoying what you do.
They already enjoy your podcast.
They're already there for you.
They like you.
And so they want to come to the shows.
As opposed to doing a radio show and trying to get people out there to listen and like you.
And that's why people like those people, these mediocre folks in Houston, that's why they have power.
Their only power was that they're the ones who get to talk on this radio show.
Meanwhile, they have no talent.
There's nothing going on there.
They're just talking people.
They're just dum-dums and then they play music.
They sort of hijack your attention span for a few minutes while you wait for the next cool song to start playing.
brian redban
And they're just sitting there reading your Wikipedia page most of the time.
So, Joe Rogan, I heard that you...
joe rogan
That wouldn't even be a problem for me.
It's just don't...
You know, I just...
I don't know why they're still upset at me because apparently this was some recent interview.
brian redban
Oh, really?
joe rogan
I didn't even know about...
I don't even know who they are.
I don't even know where the station is.
brian redban
Wow.
joe rogan
I don't care.
Look, if it's all these years and you're still upset that I wouldn't eat your thing, that's on you.
That's on you.
100%.
I didn't do anything to you.
I didn't break your window.
I didn't light your bathroom on fire.
If I just didn't eat your thing, that's on you.
The whole world is filled with different kinds of people, man.
And if you try to make everybody happy, you will fucking go crazy.
I know when I've been a douchebag in my past.
I know when I've done things where I could have made this go smoother.
This isn't one of those things.
This is just stupidity.
And I didn't want to deal with stupidity.
unidentified
You're going to Texas soon, aren't you?
brian redban
Like, August or something like that?
unidentified
Yeah.
brian redban
Or are you going to go back to...
joe rogan
Yeah, I'm going to Houston.
I think August.
brian redban
August.
unidentified
I can't wait.
brian redban
That'll be fun.
joe rogan
Yeah, I'm doing September again in Austin, too.
brian redban
Oh, really?
joe rogan
Yeah.
brian redban
That's always a good time.
joe rogan
Yeah, and plus, now, it looks like I'm recording the special in June, so if that happens, then...
I'll have to have all new shit by the time September rolls around.
So I've got a lot of work to do.
That's exciting, man.
I've been writing a lot lately, man, because I'm trying to finish this book.
I've been writing like crazy, man.
Writing is so fucking satisfying.
It might be one of my favorite things to do.
I love the idea that you just sit in front of that computer and...
These ideas just start dancing in your head.
They start dancing.
They start arranging themselves on paper.
And then sometimes when an idea will come out and then another idea will follow it, I step back and look and I'm like, wow, it's this crazy thing that just happened through me.
This crazy idea that just happened through me.
And then it all...
Puts itself onto paper, and then the next thing you know, there's 100 pages.
Next thing you know, there's 200 pages.
It's like, wow!
It's such a fascinating process, man.
The creative process of actually sitting down and writing.
It's amazing, man.
I tried last night.
I was going to write just for an hour and then get in the tank, but sometimes every now and then you tap into a vein and you've got to stay there.
You can't go anywhere.
I just had one idea that I needed to write down before I went in the tank.
And as I was writing that idea down, something about writing, like say if you're thinking about a word, like if you're writing the word experience, it takes longer to write that word than it is to think of the concept of experience.
So it allows you to deeply consider everything that you're saying.
And then oftentimes, like when you're writing, I can seem so much smarter writing than I ever could just talking.
brian redban
You think?
joe rogan
Yeah.
Yeah, definitely.
brian redban
I mean, you talk very like smart.
joe rogan
Yeah, but I'm way smarter writing than I am talking.
Because you can consider everything much more.
You get a chance to look at it.
You really get to know someone.
And that's another beautiful thing about this podcast.
You get to know someone when you're talking to them for a long time.
You get to know how their brain works.
You could write things out.
That always used to drive me crazy about presidential speeches and shit like that.
That they have people writing them for them.
That is so fucked up.
brian redban
It's just time, right?
Because they have to give a speech every fucking day almost.
joe rogan
Can't you just speak from the heart?
brian redban
Yeah, but there's probably things they have to just touch on.
They're probably not writers like, this is what you have to say.
It's more like taking your ideas and making it in a speech form.
Because, I mean, they literally have to do probably two or three speeches a day.
If you look at Obama's...
unidentified
Really?
joe rogan
Does he do two or three a day?
brian redban
Yeah, they're always going to colleges or talking here with representatives.
They're always doing speeches if you look at his schedule.
There was that one time where they followed him around.
For a week, I forget what program did it.
And it was just like, his schedule was pretty much from when he'd wake up, just going from one place to another, giving a speech, giving a speech, giving a speech.
joe rogan
Fuck, either way, write your own speeches, bitch.
I think he does, actually.
And one of his most famous speeches is one that he wrote, one of the ones when he was running for office.
He's a smart guy, and he's a very good speechwriter, but The whole idea of having a speech written out for you by a bunch of other people is kind of offensive to me.
It's like, what the fuck are you doing being the leader if you've got all these people telling you exactly what to say?
And, you know, you're following all these charts and graphs and this is what the people want and so let's give them this and this is sort of in the middle and we'll lower their expectations with that and then we'll hit them with this to make them happy.
It's just, it's like so obvious that we're being played.
You know, that's what drives me nuts about speech writing, about the idea of it.
So it's just like, They're not even trying to pretend that they're not playing you.
They're not even trying to pretend that this guy wrote this shit himself.
He's just up there reading off a fucking teleprompter and you're just going, yay!
And nothing changes.
brian redban
Yeah.
I could never do that.
I could never do speeches or anything like that.
joe rogan
You could.
If you wanted to give speeches on podcasting or speeches on something that you know a lot about, like if you wanted to give speeches on how to be a good video editor, you could do that.
You could easily do a seminar on video editing.
If you ever wanted to, if people were into your internet videos, you could come up with a bunch of bulletin points.
Of things that you need to consider.
Like, hey, brevity.
You want to make it under 10 minutes.
You want this.
You want that.
This is my best video, and this is why.
And the good thing about this video is it starts off in one point, and then it goes back in time, and then it brings you forward again.
And then you could easily do something like that.
Anything that you're into, man, you could teach other people how to do it.
brian redban
Did you hear that Flip Video is no more?
joe rogan
What?
brian redban
Cisco bought Flip Video, and they axed him.
joe rogan
They killed it.
brian redban
Yeah, I always thought for some reason Flip Video was very successful and a big money maker.
It seems like everybody's got Flip Video.
joe rogan
I see a lot of them.
I know Norton had it when Norton was at Austin.
He taped all his sets with that shit.
Yeah, they killed it for some reason.
But is it so good?
Is it a big deal?
brian redban
Well, I mean, it's just kind of weird that they did that, you know?
joe rogan
You would have never found out about that 20 years ago.
brian redban
Yeah.
joe rogan
It just would have stopped.
Unless you were reading the technology page of the New York Times, you know?
unidentified
Right.
joe rogan
How the fuck would you have ever known?
brian redban
Yeah.
joe rogan
You know, now you get like an email alert from CNN to tell you that Flip Video has been eaten up by Cisco.
brian redban
Yeah.
joe rogan
You know?
brian redban
Yeah.
joe rogan
You know who Scott Adams is?
The guy who created Dilbert?
brian redban
Uh-huh.
joe rogan
He got busted going online, defending himself under a fake name.
brian redban
Are you serious?
joe rogan
Yeah.
Is that like the weakest shit ever?
brian redban
How'd he get busted?
joe rogan
I don't know.
He got busted.
And then he wrote something about it, admitting it.
And this is what he wrote.
According to wise and fair denizens of the internet, this is after he's been busted.
According to the wise and fair denizens of the internet, this behavior is proof that I am a thin-skinned troll, asshole, dick, fame whore, egomaniac, douche nozzle, misogynist.
That list might sound bad to you, but keep in mind that I was starting from a pretty low base, so I think my reputation is trending up.
That's pretty funny.
brian redban
Wow.
joe rogan
Yeah.
It's in the OC Weekly.
If you guys want to read it, it's kind of interesting because they're like, wow.
So what he did was he logged online and he did under the name Planned Chaos and he pretended to be the only person in the world who doesn't hate him.
Because I guess he's been getting in trouble lately.
I don't remember what it was.
I don't remember what exactly he said.
He said some things that people thought were questionable.
And so people were shitting all over him.
I met him.
He was on an episode of NewsRadio.
brian redban
Really?
joe rogan
Yeah.
That goes to show you how old Dilbert is.
Dilbert's been around forever, man.
brian redban
I never got into Dilbert, really.
joe rogan
It's terrible.
Those cartoons are like the lowest expectation ever for humor and for entertainment value.
brian redban
Yeah.
joe rogan
It's amazing that they can make so much money.
Like, I used to read Doonesbury, and I remember Doonesbury was the smart one, man.
It was really smart.
The only time to me it was even remotely interesting was when they had Raul, Raul Duke, who was the Hunter S. Thompson character who would come in with guns and start shooting shit up.
And, you know, it was like Hunter S. Thompson's, they kind of like, he has his character Raul Duke from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
You know, he like The novel is sort of based very loosely on him and his friend Oscar and the crazy shit they did when they were on drugs in Vegas.
And this guy from Doonesbury just sort of co-opted that character, sort of stole it, stole his intellectual property and started using it as characters inside of his Doonesbury comic.
I thought that was kind of cool.
It was kind of funny that he did that.
Those were fun.
But other than that, most of it was really like nothing.
It's like the jokes were like, whew.
Like, do you ever read like Marmaduke or something like that?
brian redban
Or Beetle Bailey.
How is that shit still even impossible?
joe rogan
Is Beetle Bailey still around?
brian redban
Yeah, I think so.
I think so.
I don't know.
I don't fucking know.
joe rogan
Yeah, who would cry if the cartoon section...
I remember when I was a kid, though, I used to like the cartoon section.
brian redban
I used to like Farside.
That was fucking brilliant shit.
And then they just kind of went away.
I was a Garfield guy growing up, obviously.
So Garfield and Farside were my two.
Calvin and Hobbes, pretty...
joe rogan
So you do like cartoons?
brian redban
I do.
But then you get those ones like whatever that fucking Cathy or Ziggy.
joe rogan
Oh yeah.
There's some that don't make any sense and you have to wonder how those people keep their jobs.
Is it like some sort of a government job where you can't get fired?
brian redban
Yeah.
Or that Prince Valiant or whatever that one that was like...
unidentified
Prince Valiant.
brian redban
Remember that one?
What was that one where it's like all medieval knights and shit?
unidentified
Yeah.
brian redban
I always tried to get into that one but I could never fucking do it.
joe rogan
They're the worst, man.
brian redban
Yeah.
joe rogan
They're the worst.
Is there anything worse than fucking stupid cartoons?
There's no lower standard.
You know?
Like, have you ever, like, read a cartoon and laughed?
brian redban
No.
joe rogan
Like, holy shit, that's funny.
unidentified
Well, Farside.
brian redban
Farside, definitely.
joe rogan
Really?
brian redban
Yeah, Farside.
You never read any of the Farsides?
joe rogan
I never got into it, man.
I think, like stand-up comics, some cartoons are so bad, they, like...
turn you off to other cartoons. - Wow. - Like I've talked to people that have been to like shitty comedy shows, like nah, I'm not really into live comedy.
- Right. - Like whoa, you're not into a live comedy.
Okay, what are you talking about?
Have you ever gone to see Louis C.K.?
Okay, go see Louis C.K. and then tell me if you're into live comedy.
'Cause you might not be into some douchebags at the Chuckle Hut, you know, that are telling nonsense jokes, but go to see Chris Rock.
Go to see, you know, Dave Chappelle.
Go to see a real comic.
You're gonna love comedy, man.
Don't get crazy.
You go see Joey Diaz, and if you don't laugh, you don't have a fucking pulse, right?
There's something wrong with you.
You're not enjoying that?
Joey destroyed all weekend in Philadelphia.
He's so fun to have around, man.
No one makes me laugh more than that guy.
He's so fucking fun to have around.
But as we were saying before, he gets wired.
He gets angry at you.
brian redban
Yeah.
I'm just reading these facts that were on dig.com today, facts about masturbation.
And it's going through that male kangaroos have been known to give themselves blowjobs and female porcupines have been witnessed using wooden sticks as dildos.
joe rogan
What?
brian redban
Can you imagine watching an animal check off?
Dinosaurs have dicks, right?
Right?
Can you imagine how big that dick is?
And then like if a dinosaur fucking cummed, like how much cum that would be?
joe rogan
If a dinosaur cummed?
Are you 12, bro?
brian redban
No, I was just thinking that the other day.
joe rogan
If a dinosaur cummed.
unidentified
How big would the load be if a dinosaur cummed?
brian redban
Yeah.
And here's another fact.
30% of suicides by males age of 12 through 20 are attributed to autoerotic asphyxiation?
joe rogan
No, what is that on Wikipedia, man?
brian redban
I don't know.
Oh, here's a fleshlight.
joe rogan
Autoerotic asphyxiation.
brian redban
Yeah, from 12 to 20. That's silly.
That's insane.
joe rogan
You know, here's a fucking interesting statistic that's real.
70% of all pornography gets watched during 9 to 5 hours.
brian redban
Really?
joe rogan
Yep.
brian redban
12% of a porno film is watched at a hotel room on average.
joe rogan
That makes sense.
But 70% being during the internet or downloaded from the internet while you're at work, 9 to 5?
brian redban
Yeah, totally.
joe rogan
How many people are watching this podcast or listening to this podcast at work?
unidentified
A lot.
brian redban
How many people are masturbating while listening to this podcast?
unidentified
Two.
joe rogan
Two people right now and only one's hard.
One of them is crying, struggling, trying to make shit happen.
There's too much porn, I think, at this point.
It's almost like it's too easy to beat off.
It's all out there.
It's almost unavoidable.
It used to be hard as hell to get some pornography.
When I was a kid, like we were talking about earlier, about magazines, man.
You got magazines, man.
You had to go to a liquor store and ask for the back shelf.
Nowadays, man, it's so fucking easy to get pornography.
Nowadays, you could just specialize on one particular type of pornography.
You could be like a weirdo foot guy.
You only want foot jobs.
Girls jacking guys off with their feet.
And you could fucking stack monitors to the top of your room like a movie screen, 50 feet high.
And every one of them has got a different video of a girl jerking a guy off with their feet.
And you would die of old age before you watched all of them.
brian redban
There's this shit that I was reading about where guys who go to graveyards after they bury somebody recently.
The next day after they bury somebody, they dig them up and fuck them.
joe rogan
Oh, God.
brian redban
They check the obituaries and find a young teen.
joe rogan
Where was this happening?
brian redban
It was on the internet.
I read it.
joe rogan
I've heard of people doing it in...
There was an old Kinnison bit.
People doing it in a mortician's office.
The mortuary.
Remember that bit?
brian redban
I could see that happening.
joe rogan
Dude, that bit is what got me into Kinnison.
brian redban
Really?
joe rogan
I've told this story before, but in the interest of brevity, a girl that I was working with did the bit for me because she was telling me how funny he was.
And she was lying on her stomach in the parking lot going, Oh, oh!
You mean life keeps fucking you in the ass even after you're dead?
It never ends!
And I remember thinking like, wow, what is this guy like?
This guy must be the funniest guy ever.
And then I got a hold of his HBO special and I got a chance to see it.
That was probably the one moment when I was 19 years old with that girl on her stomach in the parking lot telling me that joke.
That was one of the few moments in my life where a spark went off in my head like, wow, maybe I should do that.
Maybe I should be a fucking comedian.
You know, when I was 19, I had no idea what the hell was going to happen in my future.
I didn't know what I was going to do.
But I was already starting to think, like, maybe, you know, maybe I have to find something.
You know, maybe it's not martial arts.
I have to find, like, something else to do.
Like, maybe it was this.
This fucking guy's on his stomach, you know, pretending to get fucked in the ass.
Like, there was nothing like that back then, man.
But I think his joke was based on a true story.
It was in L.A. Some people got arrested for paying the morticians to spend a few hours undisturbed with the freshest male corpses.
brian redban
Oh, God.
joe rogan
Oh, God.
Yeah.
unidentified
Ugh.
brian redban
I think if I was a mortician, and I think if you get a hot chick, that there'd be, sometimes you're sitting in this basement by yourself, you'd be like, I'm definitely gonna touch this dude.
joe rogan
This video's online, this photo's online of guys fucking dead bodies.
brian redban
I don't think I can fuck it.
joe rogan
There's a photo online of a guy with his, I don't know if it's still up, This is years ago.
This was in the late 90s, early 2000s.
And it was a whole sequence of photos from start to finish of this woman being on the slab.
She's clearly dead.
And then him putting his penis inside of her.
unidentified
I think I've seen that.
joe rogan
Yeah.
And it's like, whoa, dude.
He didn't just take these photos of someone's daughter and someone's sister or someone's wife.
He fucked her and took pictures of it and then put it online.
Right.
You know?
brian redban
Some fucking crazy shit, man.
joe rogan
I wonder how many people who get into...
Like, what the number is.
How many people get into being a mortician or being...
How many of them are into...
brian redban
For the sex?
joe rogan
Yeah.
How many of them are fucking around with bodies?
brian redban
I'm sure it's very high, man.
I'm never surprised at the things I hear.
And I think if you were into fucking dead bodies, that would be the number one thing to do.
How...
I'm sure it's juicier.
I'm sure it's juicier.
joe rogan
You know what I'm saying?
Is rigamortis set in?
Can they fix that?
Is there a way that they can have rigamortis not set in?
What happens when they embalm them?
Don't they pump out all the...
What is rigor mortis?
brian redban
What does that come from?
joe rogan
Do you know what it comes from now?
brian redban
I think that's when you die, the body just stiffens up, but I don't think it's immediate.
joe rogan
You pick up a squirrel off the road.
I don't think it's immediate.
I don't think it's immediate.
I think it takes a few hours.
So maybe if you get the person right after they die, they'd be still pliable.
brian redban
Yeah, but don't you like when you die, you also just automatically piss and shit yourself and all that crap?
joe rogan
Just clean them up, man.
If you're going to fuck a dead body, you can't have high standards.
unidentified
Yeah, that's...
brian redban
Kind of have to warm them up, maybe get some lamps or a heated blanket and let them sit in there for a while or something like that.
joe rogan
Yeah, put them in a warm tub.
Not warm enough to cook them.
brian redban
Oh, God.
You know, the cool thing is that you could just pretty much fucking rip skin if you wanted to fuck that ass really hard, you know, and you just fucking just start ripping it.
joe rogan
You never have to worry about her getting hurt, right?
brian redban
Yeah.
joe rogan
That's true.
unidentified
I guess you could think about it that way.
brian redban
She's a gagger.
It's going right through the back of her throat.
joe rogan
Something about disrespecting dead bodies, it's particularly offensive.
Particularly unsavory.
The idea of disrespecting someone's body, their vessel while they're gone.
It's so inhuman.
There's something about it that's very creepy.
One of the creepiest things, that and eating it.
Eating someone's body after they're dead.
I was listening to Casey Kasem.
brian redban
He's still around?
joe rogan
I don't know if he's still around.
They had him on the radio, though.
He might be dead.
But they were playing ones from the 1970s.
I was in...
Philly.
Philly has this one badass radio station.
I tweeted it.
I don't remember the name of it.
It's like W-O-G-L. W-G-O-L. And it was all like one badass song.
It would be like Pink Floyd, and then it would be Michael Jackson, and then it would be like Sam Cooke.
I mean, it was like some serious fucking jams, one after the other.
And it was at this pool hall that we were playing at.
And they played, like, repeats of, like, the Countdown show.
And I forgot, like, Casey Kasem with the Countdown.
brian redban
Wow.
joe rogan
And he would...
brian redban
You just pulled that out.
joe rogan
First time I've ever done that, too.
brian redban
That was awesome.
unidentified
Here we go.
joe rogan
This request comes...
brian redban
Now go, hey Scooby, come over here.
joe rogan
Casey Kasem with the countdown.
I can't even do...
If I hurt him, I can do it.
brian redban
Do you know he was Shaggy?
joe rogan
Really?
brian redban
Yeah, Scooby-Doo.
joe rogan
Oh yeah, I did know that.
Zoinks?
Zoinks?
One of the songs, apparently, was about cannibalism.
And I don't know the song, but it was about some people.
It was like the Donner Party.
It was about some people.
You know the Donner Party story?
They were headed to the West Coast, and they got stuck in the mountains of Colorado, and they ran out of food.
Some people died, and they ate the dead bodies to stay alive.
brian redban
Trey Parker made a film about it.
joe rogan
Did he really?
brian redban
Yeah, Cannibal the Musical.
Yeah.
joe rogan
What's it?
Cannibal the Musical?
brian redban
Yeah, it's his first movie he made in college with Matt Stone.
It's fucking brilliant.
joe rogan
That's really funny because they're from Colorado, too.
brian redban
Yeah.
I fucking love it.
It's a brilliant movie.
joe rogan
Cannibal the Musical.
unidentified
Yeah.
brian redban
Okay, I'll have to check that out.
Amazon that shit.
joe rogan
But Casey Kasem was going off.
Casey Kasem.
unidentified
About this.
joe rogan
Sometimes you have to make decisions.
And the decision was like...
We stopped playing.
We're like, what the fuck?
You have to make a decision between eating the body or dying yourself.
And we're like, what the fuck?
What a weird top 40 or whatever the fuck it was.
brian redban
I don't know what that song is.
joe rogan
I think it was a request.
I only tuned into it halfway while he was saying it, but it was one of the weird things.
This Ness song deals with cannibalism.
It was like, what?
How many times in history have people had to eat people to stay alive?
There's only a few recorded instances, right?
There's a soccer team that crashed in a plane crash, and they made that movie about them.
Remember?
brian redban
Yeah, what was that?
Alive?
joe rogan
Yeah, they're spooning that guy's ass out.
brian redban
Oh, yeah.
joe rogan
I forgot about that.
The frozen ass meat with a spoon.
brian redban
That was a freaky-ass movie, man, when that airplane broke apart.
joe rogan
Yeah.
Tubes made out of metal aren't really meant to fly through the fucking sky.
Yeah.
brian redban
You know what I was thinking the other day?
What happened to all those Lost people?
You notice how all those actors from Lost were such a high in their career?
And now, do you see any of them?
joe rogan
They burnt off.
You didn't want to have anything to do with them.
Jack was pissing me off, man.
brian redban
I know.
joe rogan
After a while, man, he really annoyed the shit out of me, man.
He drove me nuts.
He was so phoning it in at the end when they were all standing around that tub and someone comes back to life.
I'm like, this motherfucker is just phoning it in, man.
That is ridiculous.
unidentified
You're so mad about that.
joe rogan
Yeah, he drove me nuts.
Because he wasn't appreciating his part.
He started off that series as a winner.
Jack was the fucking hero.
He was the man.
He was the doctor.
He was handsome.
All the girls loved him.
And by the end, he was a junkie and a loser.
And what they did was, I guarantee you that guy's annoying.
I guarantee you that actor is annoying.
And they're like, fuck this guy.
Let's just start making him a douchebag.
And start slowly making him more and more annoying.
brian redban
Yeah.
joe rogan
Fuck yeah.
They must have done that.
Because if he was so cool, everybody else sort of kept their thing or became more cool as the show went on.
Like the really hot girl with no ass.
What's her name?
The really pretty one with the dark hair.
brian redban
What the fuck is her name?
unidentified
Kate.
joe rogan
I don't remember her.
She sort of became cooler as time went on.
Got her shit together.
Raised that girl's baby.
She had a lot of good positive attributes.
John Locke became mysterious and magical and figured out the world.
Jack just became a junkie.
He just became a fucking loser, man.
He just slowly fell apart.
brian redban
There's a reason for that.
If you saw the last episode, you would know why.
joe rogan
Fuck that last episode can suck my dick!
I ain't fucking with that, man.
I can't believe you watch that much.
There's some freedom in walking away for it, man.
brian redban
Yeah, but you watch so much of it that you might as well see what happens.
joe rogan
There's some freedom in just saying, no, you don't have me anymore, you fucks.
You can't own me, bitch.
I'm not your whore, all right?
I'm not tuning in every week to watch your stupid commercials just so you can trick me with your silly storyline.
brian redban
I don't even watch TV anymore, it seems like.
joe rogan
But once you start fucking throwing in time travel and shit like they did, now we're in 1970. Alright.
brian redban
You don't even know what happened?
joe rogan
You fucks.
You can do anything you want, you fucks.
brian redban
Well, there's a reason why.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brian redban
Do you want to know?
I can tell you now.
joe rogan
The reason is they can suck it.
brian redban
Would you like to know?
joe rogan
Nope.
I don't want to know.
brian redban
You don't want to know the end?
joe rogan
I love that you want me to know and that I don't want to know.
I love that.
There's freedom in that, man.
brian redban
Alright.
He was a girl the whole time.
joe rogan
He was a girl?
Oh, good.
Good.
He seemed like a girl.
brian redban
He was Kate.
joe rogan
Seemed like he was on his period for 10 years.
Fucking twat.
brian redban
Oh, Jesus.
joe rogan
Anything else?
Before we get going, there was some questions on the Rogan board that I'm perusing through, and some of them we've actually already answered.
And some of them...
Here's one.
What are your thoughts on listeners supporting the podcast financially?
It's not necessary.
The podcast, as I said, is a great method for me to promote shows and promote all the other stuff that we do.
And we get sponsorships.
The more you guys listen, the more we get sponsors.
I mean, we just have this fleshlight right now, but that's mostly because we're going to be moving to Sirius very soon.
Both, obviously.
We will still be live and free on the internet.
It'll still be on iTunes for free.
It'll still be available for download on the website for free.
But it'll also be on Sirius Satellite Radio, just so more people can listen to it and just I like Sirius.
I have it in my car.
It's an awesome service.
And I think it's just another avenue for us to get heard.
And we're not even getting paid for it.
The same thing as Stitcher.
I'm for all of those things.
And the more of these things that we do, the more it...
I've never had this many people come to my shows.
I've never had...
It's obvious that this is a good thing.
You know, it's obvious that there's a benefit for me in that and the promotional aspect of it.
And there's a benefit in people that they get this free entertainment, man.
And it's a benefit for us, too.
You know, over the course of the year or so that we've been doing this, one of the coolest things that really made me appreciate, I was bummed out when I had to come back here from Colorado.
I have this idea of raising my kids in a place where it's a little more calm, there's less people, there's less of the pressures of Hollywood, there's sort of the bullshit materialism of this area, this part of the country.
It's a silly part of the country.
There's a lot of cool people here, but it's also a very silly part of the country.
So I was bummed out, man, when the dog got eaten by the mountain lion and when Mrs. Rogan got pregnant and we had to come back.
To me, it was like, fuck, I was gone.
I made it out of this place.
I had escaped and now I'm back again.
But what really made me appreciate this place was this podcast and was having all these cool people come over all the time.
Having Ari over, having Eddie over, having Joey over, having Bert Kreischer and Russell Peters and Tom Green, I'm like, you know, I sit back and I go, God, this is so much fucking fun.
You know, somehow or another, we have like a real, legit national radio show.
And not even national, man, worldwide.
Because we had a fuckload of podcast fans in Australia.
That's on the other side of the fucking planet.
And when I asked them about the podcast, they went nuts.
So it's a worldwide sort of a thing, man.
And, you know, and...
Who the fuck knew when we did this that it would be what it is now?
Who knew that every week would be in the top five of iTunes?
Who the fuck?
We had never...
unidentified
No idea.
No idea.
joe rogan
It was completely by chance.
And slowly along the line, it's morphed.
And slowly along the line, it's evolved.
And slowly along the line, it's become something...
It is itself now.
You know what I mean?
Now we don't think about how to do it.
We came over here...
Brian came over here today...
And we didn't even have to talk.
We talked about just normal shit like we always do.
This is our 100th episode, man.
It's a big deal.
But we were like, well, we should do it together.
Yeah, let's just do you and me for the 100th.
And then that was all the thing we had to talk about.
It is its own thing.
It's got its own life to it now.
And all the people that send me emails, man, and all the Twitter messages, and all the people that I meet in the comedy clubs, I appreciate the fuck out of that.
I think it is one of my biggest accomplishments In my career is this podcast and that message board and both of those things.
And the whole internet group are bringing all these cool people together.
And the positive energy that I get from all these people at shows and the positive reactions that I get.
So many people coming up to me and telling me that this podcast helps them think differently.
It changes the way they look at life.
It changes the way they view their friends.
It changes the way they view how they interact with other people.
You know, I couldn't be happier, man.
I couldn't be happier that we did this.
And this wouldn't have happened if I didn't give in and come back from Colorado.
If I decided to stay in Colorado, we would have never done this.
brian redban
What about the idea of getting a female sidekick?
joe rogan
A female sidekick?
A whole?
A whole?
Mrs. Rogan's not really down with that.
brian redban
Yeah.
joe rogan
Oh, did you hear that?
He slurped his coffee again, that fuck.
brian redban
Spilling it all over your cock.
joe rogan
Yeah, if you hear slurping, man, that's me.
Blame me.
Yeah, you know, Adam Kroll had a really funny girl on his show.
He had Teresa Strasser for a while, and she was really funny, and now he's got this new chick.
And a lot of people on the Rogan board didn't like her, but I thought she was funny, man.
She made me laugh.
brian redban
The crazy thing about that is he auditioned a few girls, like Esther, little Esther, went there and did it once.
joe rogan
Oh, that's how this girl got it?
brian redban
Yeah, and I guess...
But what's crazy is if you go to his website and look at all the comments per episode, every single one of the girls that he did all hate.
His audience hates so bad any girl that's on his show.
I feel so bad.
Or Brody Stevens.
The girls in Brody.
joe rogan
Who is the new girl?
brian redban
I think her name is Jessie or something like that.
unidentified
I don't know.
joe rogan
I'm looking for it.
I'm going to look it right now because I feel rude that we're talking about her.
I'm not bringing her name up.
brian redban
Yeah, that's going to be cool to have Adam Krolo on.
joe rogan
Yeah, he's going to be on this next week, next Tuesday.
brian redban
And your formula that you've been working with on Onnit.com, O-N-N-I-T, it's almost done, it's on its way.
Did you read the case study?
joe rogan
Yeah.
brian redban
That's pretty interesting.
joe rogan
Yeah, a lot of people...
Look, I've been taking 5-HTP, and I've had some pretty powerful results.
I feel like it makes sentences form easier.
I feel like there's more circulation in my brain or something.
I mean, I don't know what it is, but 5-HTP has given me a very tangible benefit.
And there's some other stuff that I took that gave me some good benefits as well.
But what we did, what Chris did, with this nootropic formula, it's called like alpha brainwave nootropic formula, I was going to call it.
What we did was take all of the best nootropics, which are nutrients for the brain, and condense them into, I think it's like two pills.
And all these people, the case studies, had some really positive experiences with it.
I'm excited.
It's all legit stuff.
It's all stuff that people have reported actually helps brain function.
We're going to combine it into one thing.
And I think nutrition and mental nutrition and physical nutrition, all of it, is one of the most underlooked keys to happiness for people.
I mean, we have a friend that got on antidepressants, and this motherfucker eats Cheetos every night and never works out.
And I was like, yo, dude, if you took care of that body, I guarantee you, you'd feel a little bit better.
I mean, I'm not saying you don't have an issue that maybe needs to be corrected chemically, because I'm not inside your head.
But I know for a fact, my own brain, if I didn't work out, I would not be nearly as happy.
I would have all this extra pent up shit.
You gotta get that out, man.
And you gotta treat this fucking vehicle good.
Give this vehicle vitamins, man.
I drink fresh squeezed juices every morning.
Every morning when I'm at home, I squeeze, I get ginger and raw garlic and carrots and celery.
And I blend it all together, and you feel so fucking good.
You're getting all those raw nutrients in your body.
I have a lot of friends who are very, very smart, but they almost think that there's something vain and trivial and foolish about taking care of your body.
They smoke cigarettes, or they eat shitty food, and they never exercise, they never take care of themselves.
It's like, man, you're missing out on a big chunk of life.
It's annoying.
It's annoying to have to go to the gym.
That's why it's good to learn a martial art or it's good to pick up a sport or racquetball or something where you're forced to move around, where it's fun, it's part of the whole game.
But find some way.
Find some way to take care of your fucking body.
Find some fucking way, man.
Take some fucking vitamins, even if it's just multivitamins and fish oil.
Even if it's just that, that will make a fucking difference.
And so many people don't, man.
So many people just ride it out and they just hope it all is going to fucking stay together.
brian redban
I switched my 5-HTP to Chris's brand, which is called Roll On or Roll Over.
I can't remember which one it is.
It's the blue bottle.
And it's great, too.
It's 175 milligrams, I think it was.
Do you feel a difference after taking 5-HTP? I've been taking it for over a month, and that and the resveratrol, I think, are two of the best things I take.
I mean, I take fish oil and a multivitamin every day, but I think those two are the things that I've noticed the biggest from.
joe rogan
How much do you think cigarettes fuck with you?
brian redban
Oh, a lot.
Definitely.
joe rogan
Yeah?
brian redban
Yeah.
joe rogan
Does it bother you, though, that you're doing that, that you're poisoning yourself with cigarettes?
Because I've seen you before, dude.
There's times that I've seen you when you're smoking a lot, where you take on, like, you have a gray quality to your face.
Yeah, I say that.
It's almost like...
I'm serious, man.
When you quit, your face became pinker.
brian redban
You know what that is?
I have a gray beard.
No, that's not what it is.
And if I shave, it's gray for the first three days.
joe rogan
No, man.
I mean, like, your eyes.
Like, around your eyes.
There's something about smoking.
There's something about a lot of that cigarette smoke in your system where your whole system looks like...
It looks like your whole system is being poisoned slowly.
brian redban
Well, it is.
joe rogan
Why don't you fucking quit?
Crazy bitch.
brian redban
I will.
joe rogan
You won't?
brian redban
No.
joe rogan
What makes you say you're going to quit?
brian redban
Wait for the first stroke.
joe rogan
The best part, is that what it's going to do?
unidentified
Are you going to go vegan?
brian redban
Follow my grandfather's.
joe rogan
Go completely, your grandfather had a stroke?
brian redban
Yeah, from smoking.
joe rogan
Really?
brian redban
Yeah.
joe rogan
Oh, look at you.
Living smart.
brian redban
Yeah.
unidentified
It was like 65. Oh, so you feel like you've got a few years.
joe rogan
Yeah, okay.
Well, isn't there like a point of no return, like where you've done so much damage that you can never heal yourself up?
brian redban
No, I mean, well, to a point, if you get cancer, obviously, but I mean, there's a chart, I think, like, after a year, you're pretty much back to normal.
joe rogan
Really?
brian redban
Your lung capacity and all that stuff.
There's actually a thing where, like, if you quit the first week, the first day, the first month...
joe rogan
What keeps you from quitting?
I mean, you've taken those nicotine patches, can't you just jam those?
brian redban
Yeah, I mean, it's just doing it.
I mean, seriously, smoking.
See, I wish you could tell the addiction part of it.
joe rogan
I wish I could, too, because Maren's complaining about it all the time.
He's always on his Twitter talking about putting nicotine patches on shit.
brian redban
It's always going to be there.
Like, that voice in the back of your head, even if you quit, is still there.
joe rogan
Joey's in denial.
Joey likes to pretend he's not smoking.
brian redban
Yeah.
joe rogan
You know me, dog.
I don't need that shit.
Meanwhile, every time before a show, he's bumming cigarettes off you, right?
brian redban
Yeah.
I always have to buy two packs every time I'm hanging out with him.
joe rogan
Helium gave me some cigars.
Helium's the shit.
I fucking love it there.
brian redban
Yeah.
joe rogan
Two Heliums we did this month, Portland and Philly.
Both of them were fucking awesome.
For those folks that are interested in the Massey Hall in Toronto show, the only tickets that are left are like single tickets.
But...
You know, man, if you want to go...
brian redban
Sit in separate seats.
joe rogan
Yeah, sit in separate seats or, you know, get people to move or something.
Who the fuck knows, man?
Just go and have fun.
It's going to be chaos.
And I'm doing it with Sam Tripoli.
But other than that, it's sold out.
And for the June 11th...
I think it's, what is the date?
brian redban
By the way, Sam Tripoli got a faux hawk going on now.
unidentified
Really?
brian redban
Yeah, he saved his head.
joe rogan
Silly bastard.
Sam Tripoli's awesome.
And he'll be opening for me in, I said June.
brian redban
He's so excited about it, too.
He's like, I'll never play a bigger show than this, ever.
He's going crazy.
And by the way, San Francisco is May 12th through the May 14th, and that's at Cobb's Comedy Club.
joe rogan
Yeah, June 10th is the Vancouver date, and April 29th is the Toronto date.
And April 29th, like I said, there's only a few tickets left.
And then the other thing is Cobbs in San Francisco, yeah, it's already selling very fast, 12th through the 14th.
brian redban
Is that a full Dev Squad?
Who's going there?
joe rogan
Yeah, probably.
Whoever's around.
You know, Joey and Ari can do it.
You know how we do it?
It's like Ari's getting a bunch of headline gigs now, which is very nice.
Yeah, Ari's headlining all over the place.
He's doing...
He's doing comedy competitions, or, you know, comedy festivals.
He just got back from Atlanta, and he goes, I realized something.
I was like, why does this feel so weird?
And then someone said, because you're the most famous comic here.
He's like, oh, I'm not comfortable with that.
And I go, you're not comfortable with that because that's responsibility.
You feel, like, responsible for, like, the young pucks?
You know, like, is that what it feels like?
He's like, yeah, that is what it is.
I go, you shy away from every responsibility possible.
You know, even being, like, the most famous comedian, like, Don't look to me.
I don't know nothing.
I'm going to get out of here.
And he just runs away.
brian redban
That dude should be so much bigger.
He's going to be.
I was talking to Mary Carey when we had her on the podcast.
And she was talking about how she saw you and Ari.
And she's just like, what's that guy's name?
Ari Shafir.
He was so fucking hilarious.
I'm like, wow.
You knew his name offhand.
joe rogan
Well, we talked to her for like five hours on the plane, too.
But yeah, she did remember his name.
Yeah, I mean, look, it's tough these days for a comic to get notoriety just for their stand-up.
You know, you have to get on something where people see you.
There's just so much entertainment value.
You know, you have to have a Comedy Central special.
You have to have something.
And Ari's at a bit of a disadvantage, just like Joey is, in that they're both ruthlessly dirty, you know, which is really hilarious, but it's hard to clean that shit up for, you know, a seven-minute spot at Live at Gotham or something like that, you know.
It was always hard for me, too, when I first started out, to clean it up for a 10-minute set or a 7-minute set.
7-minute sets are hard in the first place because it's like just getting a joke out.
It's like, fuck, when you want to do a set, you want to open up, get their respect, get some laughs, and then slowly settle into your view of things.
But you can't do that in 10 minutes, man.
In 10 minutes, you've got to slam them with some shit and then just get the fuck out of there.
And that...
That's something that Ari hasn't done yet.
He hasn't really, really knocked one out of the park and then got a half an hour Comedy Central special and then got an hour Comedy Central special.
And he doesn't do enough updating on his website either.
He's, I mean, you know, I was...
Look, I've had a website since 1998, and there's thousands of blog entries.
And I'm a busy guy.
You've got to write things.
You've got to give people things.
Like Twitter.
Look, I write a lot of shit on Twitter.
It's like, hey, the podcast is about to start.
Or, hey, I'm about to do this gig.
Or, hey, come see me here.
But a lot of the rest of it is just me writing things that I think are funny and interesting.
Or some link that somebody sent me that's interesting.
I'm retweeting it.
I want it entertaining.
I want to make sure it's entertaining.
Because...
It's a part of that whole system of promoting yourself, of getting yourself out there, of being able to work.
And Ari hasn't really embraced that.
He embraced the Twitter a little bit.
He writes funny tweets every now and then, but he needs to be real proactive, like his website.
It's not like he's got a wife and kids and a job and an excuse to not be doing all this stuff, you know?
But at least he's doing his podcast on your Death Squad network.
And it's the skeptic tank, if you're looking for it.
That's what Ari calls it.
It's really good.
And I've been on it.
Mayhem Miller's been on it.
He had...
Was Steve on his?
brian redban
No, no, that was on the night show.
Mayhem, they're on their death squads.
Just go on iTunes and subscribe to Death Squad.
It has Ari's, it has Sam Tripoli's podcast.
Tom Segura, who was on yesterday, they're all grouped into one podcast.
joe rogan
Yeah, and think about that, man.
You would have never thought you'd be doing something like that.
brian redban
Yeah.
joe rogan
I mean, how crazy is that?
brian redban
You know what's weird is the whole thing is that when I was in middle school or something like a high school, freshman in high school, you had a shadow of the day job where you picked what you wanted to be when you grew up and you shadowed them for a day.
Right, right, right.
So I shadowed a radio station because I wanted to be a radio DJ.
And I shadowed the Morning Zoo, WNCI 97.9.
It was the day Buster Douglas won.
And they had Buster Douglas on the radio station.
I think I've talked about this before.
joe rogan
Yeah, a long time ago.
Yeah.
brian redban
But it was crazy because we actually...
joe rogan
When Buster Douglas knocked out Tyson.
brian redban
Yeah.
We were actually in Columbus, Ohio when we did your DVD special and we were on that radio show and the guy was still working as a DJ. And I was like, you know what?
You were the guy when I was a kid that I hung out with this guy all day.
He took me to breakfast, took me to lunch, and now look at this.
It's like I'm an adult and you're still here.
That's weird.
joe rogan
Adult, you're still here.
brian redban
That's weird.
joe rogan
Yeah, no, it's interesting what podcasting has become.
You know, Ariel Helwani and I, I did his podcast yesterday and I did it through Skype, which is pretty badass.
I did the video portion of it through Skype and I just used the microphone and listened to the headsets and I'm like, this is crazy.
And we're doing it in real time and it sounds awesome.
It sounded really crystal clear.
It sounded great.
It's a different world, man.
We live in a different world.
And we got lucky.
We snuck in right on the ground floor.
Totally never expected that.
I remember all these other people were doing podcasts at the time because I did Adam Carolla's podcast way before I even moved to Colorado.
I had done it, and I still hadn't done my own.
brian redban
Well, it's podcasts in general.
It's weird how they used to be popular four years ago, when they first came out, and iPods just first came out, or whatever.
It was huge.
joe rogan
Who were the huge ones back then?
brian redban
I remember Kevin Rose and all those guys from Tech TV. Is he the guy that started Dig?
Yeah.
joe rogan
Same guy?
brian redban
Same guy.
Kevin Rose, yeah.
joe rogan
Crazy bastard.
Follow him.
He's got some ideas.
brian redban
Well, now he's not with Dig anymore, and everyone's pissed because he pretty much Dig's supposedly gone to shit since he left, and everyone's mad at him, I guess.
That's what I've heard.
unidentified
Oh, Kevin.
brian redban
I haven't been following him.
joe rogan
I like Dig still.
I use Dig all the time.
brian redban
I like Dig, yeah.
joe rogan
Dig.com, if you've never been, is an excellent portal for interesting stories.
brian redban
Yeah.
joe rogan
There's always, like, I will scroll through the first four or five pages, and...
Every time I do it, you know, there's always something interesting that pops up.
That's where I got that Dilbert story.
And, you know, there's always Charlie Sheen asking for custody of his twins.
Oh, that's the fucking perfect thing to happen right now.
At the end of the podcast, for this goddamn phone to ring because I never turn it off.
Malibu.
unidentified
Malibu, PA. Malibu, please.
joe rogan
Malibu, California.
Sorry ladies and gentlemen for that.
That's sort of an inside joke on this podcast that I'm a retard and I never turn my fucking phone off.
The real problem is I'm always usually on the phone right up until the time we start, and there's a bunch of them, and they're cordless, you know, so they're all floating around.
I never know where the fuck they are, and I usually just pull the plug out of the wall.
I did it yesterday.
I actually plugged it back in right before the show today because I had to make a call.
You don't give a fuck, and I wouldn't either.
The point is we've done this for 100 episodes now.
Give me some knuckles.
We had a good time.
Red Band and I have...
We've more than surpassed our expectations.
I never had any going into it.
I don't think you did either.
brian redban
No.
Never thought it would be like this.
I thought this was actually going to last a month.
I thought you'd get sick of it in a month.
That's the craziest thing about that, that you still do it.
I thought for sure.
joe rogan
I'm pretty good at doing things once I get started.
I'm pretty good at sticking to them.
Yeah.
When I realized it was crazy, when I realized that weird things was happening, was when I asked the crowd in Boston.
I did the Wilbur Theater.
The place was packed, sold out.
And Eddie Bravo was there.
And I yelled out to Eddie because I had my 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu shirt on.
And I was like, 10th Planet in the house?
And I yelled out, how many guys listen to the podcast?
And they went fucking crazy.
It was like 90% of the crowd.
And I was like, whoa, really?
unidentified
Really?
Really?
joe rogan
And then I realized, and I'm like, somewhere along the line, maybe that's why these crowds have been cooler lately.
Like, over the last, like, six months, the crowds have gotten noticeably cooler.
And they were always cool.
They were always cool.
There was always a huge percentage of cool people, but there was always people that didn't know what I was up to, and they were just, you know, something to do.
brian redban
They were because of fear factor, or UFC, or whatever.
joe rogan
Yeah, Jamie Kennedy wasn't in town, so they went to see me.
You know what I mean?
It's like, they don't know what they're doing.
They're just wandering in there.
But now it's completely changed.
Like in Philly, the whole crowd, it's all podcast fans.
Because they find out about the show long before everybody else.
That show was sold out a month before we were ever there.
That's never happened to me before.
The best case scenario was the last time I was in Philly, which was a year ago.
We sold it all out just before I got there.
But this was sold out way before that.
brian redban
And you did an extra show.
You did more shows.
joe rogan
Shut the fuck up!
God damn it!
Who is this again?
Same thing.
I don't give a fuck about them.
That's how I roll.
Alright, ladies and gentlemen.
At that note, I apologize for the phone.
This won't happen after episode 100. I'm going to have that shit straightened out.
I'm going to fix it.
We will be back next week.
As we said, Adam Carolla is on on Tuesday.
I think we're probably going to do one either Wednesday or Thursday.
I don't know who.
brian redban
I'm not going to trust already.
joe rogan
Duncan Trussell's coming on next week, too.
Yeah.
And Joey wants to come on next week, too.
brian redban
You know, we should have Duncan and Joey.
We haven't had those combo together for a while.
joe rogan
That's a good combo.
That's a good combo.
Ladies and gentlemen, it's been an awesome 100 episodes.
We have enjoyed the fuck out of it.
We thank you very much.
Everybody that enjoyed it, we're so happy that you did.
And I appreciate all the Twitters.
I appreciate all the Facebook messages.
I appreciate everything.
Thank you very, very much.
You guys are the coolest motherfuckers on the planet.
Thank you to The Fleshlight for sponsoring the podcast.
If you go to JoeRogan.net, there's a Fleshlight link on the right-hand side.
If you click it and enter in the code name ROGAN, you would get 15% off the number one sex toy for men, and you can shoot loads, and it feels awesome.
All right, that's it, folks.
Thank you very much.
We'll see you soon.
Love you, bitches.
