joe rogan
Bonus podcast!
I don't even hear myself.
There we go.
Is that me?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Bonus podcast, you dirty little freaks.
The Joe Rogan Experience Podcast is brought to you by The Fleshlight.
If you go to JoeRogan.net and click on the link for The Fleshlight and enter in the code name ROGAN, you get 15% off the number one sex toy for men.
It's a fucking awesome product.
It's embarrassing.
It's ridiculous.
You'll feel bad once you actually come inside this thing.
It's not a proud moment.
It's not the peak of your existence.
But if you just look at it...
If you separate yourself and look at it objectively, all it is is a tool that allows you to masturbate more efficiently.
And I'm a firm believer that masturbation is a certain type of body maintenance.
I think it's necessary.
So this allows you to do that better.
Just clean it and just erase, erase bad memories.
Okay?
Enter in the code name ROGAN. Get yourself 15% off.
And go fuck that thing.
brian redban
And fleshlights don't fart.
joe rogan
They don't.
You got farting problems?
brian redban
No, no.
But most girls, you know, do.
joe rogan
And you don't have to cuddle with them after.
Exactly.
I like cuddling.
I don't know about you, pal.
unidentified
With your fleshlight?
joe rogan
No.
I don't like that at all.
eddie bravo
I'm still waiting for the disposable fleshlight.
That's going to be big.
Whenever they fucking have the balls to come out with that, I'm going to be...
joe rogan
See, people will wash it just like you used to wash condoms.
brian redban
It's called a candle.
unidentified
You know what I mean?
eddie bravo
Just make it so cheap that it's for like $1.99...
joe rogan
It's not a bad idea.
If it could be like five bucks, it could be like a cheap date.
eddie bravo
Yeah, just real quick.
I don't want to wash it.
I've tried it.
I tried the fleshlight before you even sponsored it.
joe rogan
Yeah, you told me.
Yeah, it's true.
You actually bought one because of a bad date, right?
eddie bravo
I was on a bad date.
joe rogan
What girl came in to visit you?
eddie bravo
I met this girl online, and this was back when I was a whore, back in the whore days.
She looked hot on MySpace.
unidentified
You know what I mean?
eddie bravo
Flew her in, and I'm like, damn, she looks nothing like her MySpace.
That happens every now and then.
She was using some...
Them bitches should be working for Pixar.
You know what I mean?
Them bitches from MySpace.
joe rogan
Photoshop Masters.
eddie bravo
When MySpace was big, if you didn't have a fucking background in being a hot bitch on MySpace, you're not going to get the job at fucking Disney or Pixar.
You know what I mean?
Those are the best.
That eight years of fucking MySpace.
joe rogan
Well, it's the first time we ever encountered someone able to completely lie about what they look like.
eddie bravo
Damn, they were good.
Bitches got really good.
They didn't know shit about Word or anything, but they opened up that Photoshop.
You have to.
It's like you have to learn how to get your nails done.
You're going to have to learn how to Photoshop your photos.
joe rogan
A lot of girls actually became famous just through being a hot chick on MySpace.
eddie bravo
Totally.
joe rogan
That actually became a move.
unidentified
I love it.
My space.
eddie bravo
So I fly this chick in and it was one of those where you fly them in for the weekend.
You know, I thought she was hot enough.
As soon as I picked her up the airport, I'm like, damn.
God damn it.
She used the good pictures.
God damn it.
deadmau5
Good from far, far from good.
eddie bravo
And so she was all right.
So And she wasn't even, this bitch, I flew this bitch in and she wasn't even giving me any play.
She wasn't, no physical play.
joe rogan
Well, you were probably like, ugh, yeah, come on in.
So what's up, am I going to get to fuck you or what?
eddie bravo
You know what, she was used to, she was used to that.
I'm sure I wasn't the first guy.
She's used to guys going, ugh, I got MySpace'd.
joe rogan
Well, there's a lot of girls who feel like once they give up the pussy, once they have sex with you, they've lost all their power.
Their whole power is in holding back something that you want.
eddie bravo
After getting dogged like six times, they figure out, damn, this sucks.
Dude, it's all into her.
Dude, I'll buy you this.
I'm going to do this.
I'm putting up with all your shit.
I'm going to get that.
And then once you bust that nut and it's Friday night, you're like, damn, this bitch is going to stay here until Sunday.
And I'm done Friday.
You know what I mean?
And this bitch wasn't giving me any play at all.
This, again, this is back when I was a whore.
And I flew her in.
She's giving me no play.
So I decided to take her to the Hustler's store and have her, you know, you know, we ended up buying a fucking Fleshlight and, uh, Good story.
joe rogan
That's an awesome story.
I like how it ended with you staring off in the fucking distance.
eddie bravo
Yeah, I didn't know where to go without one.
joe rogan
We're doing a podcast here, fella.
eddie bravo
I didn't know where to go without one.
joe rogan
Jesus Christ.
brian redban
Joe, why did you step in?
joe rogan
I don't know what happened there.
I thought it was going to end it nice.
It was a dark weekend.
eddie bravo
That was a dark weekend.
joe rogan
I was hoping it was a bunch of light jabs and there was a big right hand coming behind it all.
The JoeRogan.net experience, whatever the fuck you're on, is also brought to you by Onnit.com.
I'm not hearing well on this thing for some reason.
I tried to turn it up, but it's not working.
How do I turn it up?
brian redban
Just follow the cable.
joe rogan
Yeah, I did, man.
It's not doing shit.
It's on full blast.
brian redban
You don't have your mute on, maybe?
joe rogan
I don't have the mute on, man.
Unless it's this side.
brian redban
The Alpha Brain Pills.
You can find it at JoeRogan.net.
joe rogan
I just changed it, but I think I made the input louder.
No, I can't do that.
You have that.
brian redban
No, you can do the whole entire headphone unit.
joe rogan
Just headphones, but not input.
I can't change my input, right?
brian redban
You can change the input of everybody else's headphones.
joe rogan
No, no, I don't mean input of the headphones.
I mean input of the microphone.
Okay, so it's louder, it's good.
brian redban
Yeah.
joe rogan
Then I did it.
All right.
brian redban
But if you go to JoeRogan.net...
joe rogan
You know, go to Onnit.com.
O-N-N-I-T. Makers of Alpha Brain.
What's Alpha Brain?
It's a cognitive nutritional...
Whatever the fuck it is.
It's some brain pills that recently got reviewed in the Atlantic favorably.
They enjoyed them.
And they said that it, uh...
How dare you, Eddie Bravo.
Shut that shit off.
They said that they work great for when you haven't gotten enough sleep.
And that's what I found them for as well.
I love taking them when I'm jet lagged too.
What they are is a cognitive enhancing supplement.
A supplement that allows your brain to produce more neurotransmitters.
I don't understand the science behind it.
But I've read a lot of it, and I try to memorize it, but it really just goes in one ear and out the other.
But the bottom line is, we're funding university double-blind placebo tests on it from a prestigious university in Australia.
And we're trying to do it as scientifically as possible.
There's something to all this stuff.
There's something to nootropics.
You don't have to believe, but if you're interested in, Google the word nootropic.
Then, once you've done that, Explore all the options.
Before you even think about buying AlphaBrain, try all kinds of shit.
Buy it in bulk.
And if you want to take our ingredient list, just take it offline.
And if it's too expensive for you, this is the best way to do it.
Steal the ingredient list.
Copy it.
It's not stealing it.
Just copy it.
You have full right to.
It's online.
Copy it and mix it all up yourself.
You'll save some money.
I hope you do and I hope it works.
If you don't want to do that, we sell it.
If you buy it and you don't like it, you get, for the first order, first 30 pills, you get your money back.
100%.
You don't even have to send the pills back.
We're trying to make it as easy as possible.
The last thing I want is anybody to feel ripped off.
But I use this shit, and I enjoy it, and I think it's fucking awesome.
I love nootropics.
I've been taking nootropics before I got involved with AlphaBrain.
I've taken a bunch of them.
They work.
There's vitamins that can enhance the way your mind operates.
You know, it's not great.
It's not significant.
It's not going to turn a moron into a genius.
But for me, it helps me run smoother.
But I believe in a lot of nutritional supplements.
I believe in fish oil.
I take a lot of probiotics.
I believe in a lot of things that I don't sell.
I think it's very important to take a lot of nutritious supplements.
What happened, Brian?
Our screen went bright.
brian redban
This is scary.
joe rogan
Does the internet see something better?
Why are you scaring me with this big, bright UFO-type fucking shit by my head?
Anyway, we also make Shroom Tech Immune, which is an immunity supplement.
All this is explained on Onnit.com.
And like I said, first order, 100% money-back guarantee.
We used to have it for everything, but then some people went online and they sold it all on eBay.
They got their money back.
They hacked us.
So they win.
So now we changed it.
So that's it.
Go to Onnit.com.
O-N-N-I-T. Enter in the code name Rogan.
Oh, and by the way, it's only for your first order.
After that, you've got to pay full price.
The code name Rogan apparently is only good for one time.
I should probably try to have that changed, right?
brian redban
Yeah.
joe rogan
Yeah, I should, right?
Okay, I'll do that.
That's it.
Good night.
Show's over.
Listen, Deadmau5 is here, you dirty bitches.
The internet has made something happen.
We've pulled together in less than 24 hours.
unidentified
No other interaction with this young man, but the Internet demanded it.
joe rogan
And now we're here.
unidentified
Stupid cat, you're not a DJ.
joe rogan
I'm watching his cat DJ video.
unidentified
Stupid cat, you're you're not a DJ.
Stupid cat, you're you're not a DJ.
deadmau5
That's the Professor Meowingtons.
eddie bravo
That's the actual video.
That's the way the video looks?
joe rogan
Is there a way that you can shut this music off where it doesn't do this for 10 minutes?
deadmau5
What is this?
brian redban
That's my fade out.
joe rogan
This is terrible.
We gotta stop.
deadmau5
It's making me dizzy.
unidentified
For real.
joe rogan
It's really obnoxious.
eddie bravo
So was that the actual video?
The music video?
deadmau5
No, no, that was just some random bullshittery at the house.
eddie bravo
Oh, so that wasn't the video, because I thought it was the video, and I thought that was fucking genius.
unidentified
Oh, wow.
eddie bravo
Man, to me, when I was looking at it, I thought this motherfucker had the balls.
He had such confidence in his goddamn music that the music video is going to be a fucking cat hits this electronically, and the song's coming out of it, and the cat's tripping out on this fucking song.
joe rogan
What was actually playing while that cat was doing that?
deadmau5
I don't think anything, actually.
Or maybe a random radio.
I can't really remember.
eddie bravo
Wow.
To me, I thought that was a video, and I thought you were a genius.
joe rogan
Well, yes.
deadmau5
Yes, it is.
joe rogan
Welcome aboard, man.
I just want to say that I think this is one of the first times the internet has ever pulled people together this quickly, like within 24 hours.
deadmau5
That's the fucking horde for you.
That's how the horde was.
eddie bravo
I just landed from Omaha.
joe rogan
Yeah.
It's pretty badass, man.
I mean, how it happened.
I mean, I got, I don't know how many fucking retweets, but I get on my computer and I just see RT, Deadmau5, Deadmau5, Deadmau5.
I go, oh, what the fuck's going on here?
And then I click on one of them.
I'm like, oh, he wants to do a podcast.
Oh, fuck yeah.
So I, you know, do you back, and then all of a sudden Brian's on it, and Brian, you know, sorts the whole thing out.
brian redban
Actually, there was about three months ago, I started watching, because he's been on...
You go on Ustream all the time, and just, like, pretty much, like, work.
You just talk to people and stuff, and I was in the chat room once going...
Please come on the Joe Rogan podcast.
Please come.
And the next thing I know, I started asking Twitter followers to help me.
So we'd just like attack your chat rooms.
Like, please come on.
joe rogan
How did you do that?
What got you in?
Did you get pestered by him?
deadmau5
What, like a hostile takeover?
joe rogan
No.
I mean, what got you intrigued to come here?
You've never listened to the podcast before.
deadmau5
Yeah, you're right.
I've actually never listened to it, but of course I know your work and I've seen you here and there and this and that.
And shit, you know, I'm like thinking, fuck man.
You know what?
Because I've actually known that everyone's like, oh dude, get on the Joe Rogan thing.
Get on the Joe Rogan thing.
And I'm thinking, fuck.
Is this guy going to tear me a new asshole?
I don't know.
joe rogan
Why would I do that?
deadmau5
Dude, why do other people do other things?
joe rogan
There are people, man.
I've heard people on people's shows where someone will get hostile and it's real uncomfortable and it's fucking shitty.
deadmau5
And I've had that happen to me before.
joe rogan
Really?
deadmau5
It's where I was invited out to this radio show in Australia and they were like, oh, he's kind of a joker.
I'm like, dude, whatever.
I can fucking counter troll the troll.
joe rogan
Right.
unidentified
Whatever.
deadmau5
No big deal.
joe rogan
You thought I'd get in there.
deadmau5
I thought it would be fun.
Funny.
You know what I mean?
It's like a big piss take on everything.
But dude, the guy was like basically, hey, fuck you.
joe rogan
Well, what?
unidentified
You know what I mean?
deadmau5
It's just like, you know, like in all this shit, like, oh, well, your music sucks, so...
Oh, my God.
And, hey, what the fuck is this rumor about you?
I'm like, dude, are we getting to a punchline with any of this shit?
And I ended up actually just...
Well, not getting like, ooh, I didn't rage quit, but I just went through it and went, yeah, great.
joe rogan
You're like, why am I doing this with you?
deadmau5
Thanks for the interview.
joe rogan
Why do people think that's okay to do?
brian redban
Ratings.
Hey, I just...
deadmau5
Because they want that one little fucking snippet off you that they think is going to ruin your career, but it's actually going to just throw it overboard.
joe rogan
Those guys are dinosaurs.
Dinosaurs.
Those morons that are, like, making conflict up, they're dinosaurs.
deadmau5
Yeah, well, enough of those assholes, but I mean, I won't lie to you, you know what I mean?
A little bit of that fucking little shit was in the back of my head, so I'm like, nah, but you know what?
I'll tell you what it was.
I had a chat with Carson Daly the other day, and I said, hey, Joe Rogan, come on.
He's like, dude, do it, do it.
You'll have so much fun.
And I'm like, yeah, you know what?
Fuck it.
joe rogan
Carson talked you into it?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Beautiful.
I gotta give him a hug next time I see him.
brian redban
He's supposed to come in here, right?
joe rogan
Yeah, he's gonna do it eventually.
We had to reschedule it, I think, to May, I think.
I forget when we rescheduled it to.
But, yeah, he's gonna come in and do the podcast and bring his show in here as well.
We're gonna do his whole show from here.
He's a good dude.
deadmau5
Yeah, he's really cool.
joe rogan
But, yeah, I mean, if I didn't know me, I might think I'd be a douchebag, too.
deadmau5
That's all right.
joe rogan
I look exactly like a douchebag should look.
What did you know exactly about Joe Rogan?
deadmau5
Huh?
eddie bravo
What did you know exactly about Joe Rogan?
joe rogan
This is uncomfortable with me in the room.
deadmau5
Oh, this is gonna get fucking awkward.
joe rogan
Can I go masturbate in the corner instead of be here for this?
eddie bravo
Are you a UFC fan?
deadmau5
To a degree.
I mean, I'm actually friends with Dana and Jamie.
joe rogan
Dana White and Jamie...
deadmau5
Jamie...
Fuck, I can never remember.
No worries.
You know him.
I know you know him.
joe rogan
Dude, what is that video game character on your neck?
Is that a Space Invader?
deadmau5
That is a Space Invader.
Congratulations.
unidentified
That's fucking awesome.
deadmau5
Everyone always asks me, hey, that's from that show.
But also, it's actually more...
The tattoo's from the street artist.
joe rogan
Oh.
deadmau5
Invader.
And what he did, he went around England and did all these little tile sets all over these buildings.
joe rogan
Oh, like you replaced the tile with his own tiles that had a pattern in it?
unidentified
Right.
brian redban
Enter through the gift shop, remember?
joe rogan
Oh, Banksy?
brian redban
Yeah, he's in that movie.
Oh, right.
joe rogan
I never watched that movie.
brian redban
Oh, it's one of the best movies.
unidentified
It's amazing.
joe rogan
Everybody tells me.
eddie bravo
It's amazing, bro.
joe rogan
Yeah, it's one of those movies like I was saying last night about Restrepo.
Everybody tells me I have to see it.
I have it.
I have it.
It's sitting there on the shelf.
When I'm home, I'm like, let's see what South Park did this week.
I'm looking at the DVR. I always go to Silly.
I go to Anthony Bourdain or Fights.
That's all I really ever want to watch.
It's really hard to get me to watch a movie.
Right.
Anyway, I just thought it was a cool thing.
It was a cool thing how it all happened.
I was excited.
I'm glad we could soothe your fears of me being a cunt.
brian redban
How many tattoos do you actually have?
Last time you were in LA, I think you got a tattoo.
joe rogan
You were young.
Miyamoto?
brian redban
Miyamoto.
joe rogan
You were a youngish man.
brian redban
That's amazing.
joe rogan
How old are you, brother?
I was 31. I just turned 31. 31. I was going to guess less than 30. I was going to guess 28. That'll do.
Yeah, you're all flooded up with tattoos on a young tip.
deadmau5
Yeah, I'm kind of poised to be the next illustrative man, I guess.
joe rogan
I don't know.
What is the heart on the left elbow?
deadmau5
Oh, that's Legend of Zelda.
joe rogan
So let me ask you this, man.
You're a fucking huge electronic...
Creative music guy.
I had no idea how big you were, to be honest with you.
I had heard of you before.
I thought the logo was cool as fuck.
I'd seen some imagery and some electronic imagery of your mouse logo and shit.
I'm like, wow, there's something compelling about it.
It's like an evil, twisted, psychedelic Mickey Mouse type thing.
I don't know.
Whatever it was.
Then I started looking into it and I read something.
You guys were at the fucking Rogers Center?
You guys did the Rogers Center?
deadmau5
Yeah, that was fucked up.
joe rogan
And I'm like, oh my god, because we did the UFC there, and it was the biggest UFC ever.
It was 60,000 people.
I'm like, you're rocking out to 60,000 fucking people.
deadmau5
Well, we did 20, because we just had the floor and some of the seats, but to see that place filled with 60 must be fucking insane.
joe rogan
I've never seen it with 60. You know, that place is so big, you know the whole deal, how it works, but for people who don't know at home, there's a hotel inside the arena, and the windows face where they play baseball.
Like, it's so fucking big, and this is all indoors.
You know, because Canada gets cold as fuck in the winter.
And so, it's so big that you can play baseball.
Guys like Jose Canseco can hit home runs inside this fucking place.
And still have room to spare.
And still not hit the hotel.
I mean, it's insanity.
It's one of the most amazing constructions I've ever been inside of.
deadmau5
It's also the most insanely fucking impossible to rig, too.
Because of the way that that dome is, the retracting dome part...
Those rigging points.
So if they wanted to get...
I didn't see the UFC show there, but if they wanted lights on top of the ring, well, they can't just float out of nowhere.
They have to be rigged.
joe rogan
All the way the fuck up to the top of that thing.
deadmau5
All the fucking way to the top.
joe rogan
Oh, my God.
deadmau5
They had to do it with ours, because we had a big spider truss going across the whole thing.
That was only maybe about 30 feet up from the floor, but less, 200 feet from the ceiling.
So it's just like this fucked up rigging.
joe rogan
Yeah, that's a big thing with traveling artists, right?
Like the sets that you guys bring, that's like a big thing, right?
deadmau5
Yeah, yeah.
joe rogan
Like U2 apparently has some monstrous, giganto set that takes like a whole crew of a hundred people.
deadmau5
Well, those are different.
Actually, as part of their fucking deal is they permanently build those structures.
Like they literally lay cement and then build.
Fucking buildings.
joe rogan
So when they get to each arena, they do this?
deadmau5
Yes.
But they've only done it like...
They have different versions of it that they can scale down or scale up.
So when they do do it at the Rogers Center, it's like a kind of cheaper version of it, but looks the same kind of thing.
But they had some in Europe that they actually had to permanently build a structure for it.
And the structure's still fucking there, and they're trying to sell them.
Whoa!
Yeah, it's all part of the thing.
But it's fucking crazy.
I don't think I'll ever go that way.
joe rogan
How did you get to be this guy?
What separated you from the pack?
I mean, so many people making music electronically.
You know, it's such a popular genre now.
unidentified
Did you start off as a DJ? No, no, I've never spun a fucking record in my life.
deadmau5
As a matter of fact, you actually don't like being called a DJ mixer.
joe rogan
You don't like that phrase?
deadmau5
How can I say I don't like it?
It's so generalized that you kind of have to welcome it.
It's like, you know, I'm not a comedian.
I'm a fucking laugh technician.
joe rogan
Right, right, right, right, right.
What would you call yourself?
deadmau5
I don't know.
joe rogan
A musician.
deadmau5
A musician.
Artist.
Producer.
Whatever.
joe rogan
Eddie is, besides being a jiu-jitsu master, he is.
He's a jiu-jitsu master.
That's what he does.
deadmau5
No shit.
joe rogan
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It sounded hilarious, but no, he's like one of the top jiu-jitsu instructors in the world.
deadmau5
All right, I'll keep my eye on it.
joe rogan
He's a famous martial artist.
Yeah, for real.
I mean, he doesn't look like he's a famous martial artist.
But besides that, he makes a lot of music.
He makes a lot of electronic music and shit like that.
So I know...
deadmau5
So do you get, like, hey, you're that karate guy.
eddie bravo
I'm a musician first.
I started jiu-jitsu when I was 24. I've been producing music since I was 10. I got into jiu-jitsu just to stay in shape, and the jiu-jitsu blew up.
But I'm like, I'm a fucking musician.
I'm a music producer.
deadmau5
Right, right, right.
eddie bravo
That's what I do.
And the jiu-jitsu was a total hobby on the side, and that blew up, so...
So now, over the last five years, I'm trying to prove to all the people that know me through jiu-jitsu.
They think, oh, he's trying to do music.
They never took my music seriously.
deadmau5
Dude, I know people like that around the block.
joe rogan
Well, there's always going to be haters in every...
eddie bravo
Well, it took...
I understand it because no one ever in athletics has ever made it in music.
So they're looking at me as like some famous athlete who's trying to make it in music.
I'm like, dude, I've been...
The musician the whole time, the jiu-jitsu was...
Brand new and it was part-time.
So it's like a weird thing.
joe rogan
What about the Super Bowl shuffle?
Are you ignoring the Super Bowl shuffle?
unidentified
What is that?
joe rogan
When you say no famous athletes have ever made it in music?
deadmau5
What's the Super Bowl shuffle?
eddie bravo
You don't remember?
deadmau5
It sounds so fucking awesome.
joe rogan
Chicago Bears, the Super Bowl shuffle.
Refrigerator Perry.
eddie bravo
There's only a couple.
Shaq did an album.
Yeah, Shaq did great.
joe rogan
I thought his album was excellent.
eddie bravo
Kobe Bryant, I think, did an R&B record.
joe rogan
No, he didn't.
Shut the fuck up.
unidentified
He did.
joe rogan
Kobe Bryant did not do an R&B record.
unidentified
Yes, he did.
joe rogan
Oh, my God.
I would love to listen to that just for the fucking pure comedy of it.
eddie bravo
I could be wrong, but I'm 90% right.
joe rogan
Yo, see if you can find Kobe Bryant.
Please Google that.
I need to know that this is real.
I need to have the Kobe Bryant R&B record.
eddie bravo
There's never been a professional, famous athlete who has made it in music.
joe rogan
There's never been.
deadmau5
It's just the world won't give you both.
joe rogan
That's the problem.
deadmau5
That's the problem.
eddie bravo
I've been a musician my whole life, and I'm not an athlete.
deadmau5
Right.
eddie bravo
I'm not an athlete.
deadmau5
The world says fuck you.
We don't care.
We're only going to give you one.
joe rogan
How did you get through?
eddie bravo
Take us through.
joe rogan
What did you do?
deadmau5
I guess the way it kind of looks over the last five years is you get a lot of people thinking this is some culminated overnight bullshit story that's happened over the last three.
In my mind, and I know because I've grown up with it, it's a culmination of 10 years of just wanting to do something, have some predefined bullshit goals, and then work towards it.
Because I really got interested in computer music when I was about You know, 16, 17, and it was at such a time in the world where computer music wasn't really feasible.
It was like...
joe rogan
You know Russell Peters, the comedian?
deadmau5
Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's Canadian.
joe rogan
He loves you.
deadmau5
Yeah, we all know.
joe rogan
He's on his way down.
deadmau5
Oh, is he really?
joe rogan
Yeah, he's coming because he wants to meet you.
deadmau5
I met him.
joe rogan
Well, he wants to hang out with you.
unidentified
Oh, okay.
Fuck yeah.
eddie bravo
Can I tell my story of how I actually met Deadmau5 at a show you did?
joe rogan
What do you prefer?
Do you prefer your actual name?
deadmau5
Well, if we start fucking saying dead, there's going to be another death rumor.
I've had three in the last four months.
joe rogan
Can you hear about Whitney Houston today, man?
deadmau5
What?
joe rogan
Can you hear about Whitney Houston today?
deadmau5
Yeah, you know what?
I just heard about it about like three hours ago.
eddie bravo
Was it coke related?
joe rogan
Who knows?
You know, who knows?
I have no idea.
But she's 48 years old.
You gotta wonder, you know, what happened.
It's fairly young to just be dying.
It's very sad, man.
If it is a cocaine thing, if all the rumors are true, obviously, I'm never hanging out with her.
I don't know if she's really doing coke or was doing coke.
Joey Diaz told us those great stories.
Remember that?
eddie bravo
Yeah.
joe rogan
Oh my god.
I tweeted that today and people got mad at me because I tweeted that story.
It's a great story.
deadmau5
I'm kind of hoping...
joe rogan
She was an amazing artist, but, you know...
eddie bravo
So were you into Depeche Mode?
deadmau5
Yeah, like Tears for Fears.
That was like the closest thing to electronic music that I liked growing up.
eddie bravo
Depeche has always been...
That's my soul, is Depeche Mode.
joe rogan
What were you saying about Whitney Houston?
You were kind of hoping what?
deadmau5
Well, I mean, I'm just kind of like morbidly hoping it's not too drug-related or drug-related for that matter, too.
And I'm saying it's like, she's dead.
It's a shitty fucking thing.
But it would just be an extra shame if it was all...
joe rogan
Well, the only thing that would help, if anything, is that maybe it might influence some people to avoid those particular drugs.
There's no happy ending coke stories.
It wasn't until I started doing coke that I really got my shit together.
We always talk about weed.
Eddie, you and I in particular, we're always so positive about weed.
You don't have to use hand signals, man.
You want another Corona?
deadmau5
Yeah, hey, someone, can I have another Corona?
unidentified
Hey, Brian.
joe rogan
Can I send you a beer run or send homegirl?
deadmau5
I don't want to interrupt the talking people.
brian redban
Hey, homegirl, come here.
joe rogan
Hey, Penhouse Pet of the Year.
That's how strong this place is.
deadmau5
Penhouse Pet of the Year.
brian redban
You just got awarded.
joe rogan
I'll give you that award.
brian redban
Here, I'll have her work.
joe rogan
Here, give this to the bartender.
Thank you.
Yeah, and just go get a bunch of beers.
eddie bravo
That's exactly what I was thinking, too.
I was totally thinking.
Right before you said, I'm like, there's no beer.
You know what?
We can't go to the bar.
So it's the rest of the show with no more beer.
deadmau5
That's going to get boring.
joe rogan
You know why he was thinking that?
Because the Indian's out right now.
deadmau5
Well, the Indians won't come out in less than three Coronas.
eddie bravo
The Indians won't come out tonight.
No.
I'd have to have like four or five shots.
Come on.
joe rogan
Dude, the Indians are already out.
I got news for you.
The Indians here right now.
He's here right now, bro.
He's sharpening his tomahawk with a file.
eddie bravo
Are we on the air?
joe rogan
No, definitely not.
unidentified
Are we taking a break?
joe rogan
No, we're on the air, man.
eddie bravo
Oh, shit, okay.
joe rogan
Yeah, we're not going anywhere.
So bring us back to it.
eddie bravo
Tears for Fears.
deadmau5
Yeah, oh, yeah.
You know what?
My dad, I kind of owe it to Columbia House.
Thank God they're not fucking around too much these days because they'd be the first on dibs.
But with the whole Columbia House deal, as you know, my dad got this new Luxman CD player.
Cutting-edge fucking technology at the time.
And he bought into that...
You know, get X CDs for a penny shit thing.
joe rogan
You remember that?
Yeah, I remember that.
eddie bravo
Dude, I did that a lot.
joe rogan
I did that shit a lot.
How did they ever make any money?
deadmau5
Exactly, right?
Well, they must have made at least fucking 100 cents.
joe rogan
Something must have happened.
unidentified
A lot of pennies.
eddie bravo
Damn, I totally forgot about that.
joe rogan
Yeah, I forgot about that too.
Dude, I did it twice with cassettes.
eddie bravo
11 CDs for a penny.
joe rogan
I don't think I ever got to the CDs.
eddie bravo
You gotta buy one a year or something.
joe rogan
Something ridiculous like that.
And they send them to you and you ignore them.
If you don't send them back, you owe them money or something like that.
deadmau5
That actually was part of it.
That's how they afford it.
joe rogan
Shit was completely ridiculous.
eddie bravo
You just put your fake names.
You just put any name.
Your address, any name.
unidentified
That's not me.
joe rogan
Do you remember that?
What a preposterous marketing strategy.
We're gonna get you 100 fucking CDs for 99 cents.
eddie bravo
How do you split that with the bands?
unidentified
Fuck!
eddie bravo
Holy shit!
They're already getting nothing.
joe rogan
Yeah, what was it?
Just like extra stock?
eddie bravo
I mean, what was that?
joe rogan
More foreigner albums were distributed that way than anything.
Dude, Foreigner and Journey.
Those fucking Journey cassettes just flew out the door.
That was the first thing that people picked on the list.
eddie bravo
Dude, I was working at a record store right when CDs were coming in and cassettes were going down.
unidentified
We still had records, but cassettes were the bomb.
eddie bravo
Cassettes were everything.
joe rogan
Did you get Heineken's?
Or did you just get all this gay Mexican beer?
I'll have a Corona.
unidentified
That's cool.
eddie bravo
That's a lot of Coronas.
joe rogan
Coronas are cool.
Thank you, sir.
deadmau5
Holy shit.
joe rogan
So anyway, so you started creating music, and how did you get, I mean, you obviously, there's been some sort of a massive leap somewhere along the line that you've gotten to be this guy who could fucking sell the Rogers Center.
I mean, that's incredible, man.
deadmau5
It took a while.
You know, it took like, you know, four years.
joe rogan
That's insane!
Four years!
deadmau5
I know, I know, it's fucking crazy.
joe rogan
How did that happen, man?
unidentified
How did it happen?
joe rogan
Don't you ever fucking say that's a while, man.
That's crazy.
You know how many people are screaming at their computer right now?
A while!
To go from four years of creating music to all of a sudden be selling out the Rogers Center, that's amazing.
deadmau5
Yeah, that is really cool.
joe rogan
That's staggering, dude.
deadmau5
Well, you know, it's just, I guess I'm super lucky to be in this climate of the development of...
joe rogan
What I'm trying to get at is how do you think you hit this resonance?
I mean, what you're doing is really funky, electronic shit, but you obviously have hit a resonance that people are really drawn to.
It's not simply, you know, you've been in the business, you got lucky, you stumbled in.
No, there's people that love the sounds you're creating.
deadmau5
Yeah, okay.
I mean, there's definitely a music element in that, of course.
Yeah.
joe rogan
No doubt.
deadmau5
Since I was eight, my parents put me in piano boot camp after school, so between the hours of three and when they got off of work, I was classically trained the whole time.
unidentified
Wow.
eddie bravo
Okay.
joe rogan
Oh, wow.
deadmau5
That's making sense now.
But I forgot all that shit when I was 16, because then computers kind of came out, and I'm like, well, fuck a piano.
joe rogan
Right.
Right.
eddie bravo
Yeah.
deadmau5
But fuck me, did that ever come in handy later?
unidentified
I'm sure.
eddie bravo
Are you kidding?
deadmau5
Work out melodies, counter melodies, all that stuff requires a certain amount of intelligence.
It's not just random notes.
joe rogan
That mouse head is a good move too, dude.
I'll tell you what, listening to you because of the mouse head makes me feel cooler.
When I was watching some YouTube clips, and you were on stage, and you had the mouse head on, and you were rocking out, and the crowd was rocking out, and I was like, there's something dope about that.
There's something, I like the fact that this fucking guy is wearing a crazy giant mouse head.
brian redban
He was actually a big influence on my idea for the logo, because I've always recognized him as his mouse head, and so then I was like, dude, you are a master almost of marketing, because you know the idea of the mouse.
deadmau5
I did do a lot of that.
joe rogan
How does Disney not sue the dick off you?
deadmau5
Well, no, me and Disney are cool now.
joe rogan
You're cool now?
deadmau5
Yeah, actually.
It was really funny.
We had to play a show in Anaheim once at the thing, and they were like, dude, Disney called, and they want you to come play it.
Dude, I'm thinking I'm going to be led into this fucking darkroom, and Mickey and Goofy are going to come out with some fucking bastards beating the shit out of me.
brian redban
Come here, Joel.
What the fuck do you think you're up to?
unidentified
What the fuck?
joe rogan
So Disney has never had an issue with it at all?
deadmau5
No, we're totally cool.
joe rogan
Because it is a different shape.
deadmau5
It is a different shape.
But it is a mouse.
They're not really...
Well, I guess there are sections of them that are in the music business and stuff like that, but it's so distinguishable between the two identities that they're just like, yeah, that's cool.
But I'm wondering at the same time too because when I did file for design patents on my logo and stuff like that, it's like one of the first things I had to do was go to different countries and apply for logo copyrights and stuff like that.
Now Disney must have a crack fucking team of experts, of people doing this shit.
Because I'll tell you, I used to work for a software company in Belgium that used to have a studio software and it was called Fruity Loops.
brian redban
One of my favorites.
deadmau5
Kellogg's put a fucking cease and desist on the name.
And dude, we're talking serial and music application.
Nothing to do with each other.
But for whatever reason, they gave in to the machine and said, we're going to have to rename this.
joe rogan
But everyone still calls it...
brian redban
Yeah.
joe rogan
But if they own the name, they don't want you using it for anything.
I can understand that.
deadmau5
Well, true.
Like mouse.
Danger mouse.
Dead mouse.
Fucking mighty mouse.
joe rogan
You know what I mean?
deadmau5
I'm sure everyone's been through it.
joe rogan
But you can't own an animal.
You don't get to, I'm lying.
I'm the only lying.
You know, you don't get to own that.
That's silly.
deadmau5
True, but the similarities of the, you know, the circle and the thing, you know, I thought that was a little close, so I kind of thought that maybe someone was asleep at the wheel, you know, when that had gone through, because basically one day it was a call from my lawyer saying, dude, you got the patent, you're good.
So you're virtually untouchable right now.
unidentified
You know what?
joe rogan
I think Disney, they're so baller, they don't give a fuck.
Disney, they're just, the executives are sitting around in gold underwear, laying on stacks of cash.
Let that bitch have his fucking logo.
Whatever.
Who gives a shit?
deadmau5
Certain departments of Disney are suing other departments of Disney.
For real?
Well, I'm sure.
joe rogan
Do you know this for a fact?
deadmau5
No, I don't.
joe rogan
We should be really careful about that.
deadmau5
I'm sure it happens, you know what I mean?
joe rogan
Probably doesn't happen.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say it doesn't happen.
Disney was actually where I got my very first development deal.
I did a sitcom for Disney in 1994. Oh, and then I'll just shut the fuck up then.
They were very nice.
And I was a dirty comedian, man.
I was a fucking terrible, dirty comedian.
And they gave me a development deal.
They were pretty cool.
They're a lot more open-minded than you would think.
They're essentially just an entertainment company.
But the name Disney, you automatically associate everything with super family values type shit.
Everyone I was up to.
deadmau5
Jonas Brothers and all that.
joe rogan
That's just smart business.
There's a lot of money in that babysitting money.
It's a fucking lot of money, man.
It's out there.
Like Bill Hicks used to talk about.
Remember when Tiffany and Debbie Gibson were all the shit?
That's when Bill Hicks was alive.
And he used to have all these jokes about Tiffany and Debbie Gibson and how ridiculous it was.
But the bottom line is somebody likes that, man.
Somebody likes that.
There's babysitting money out there.
brian redban
When you met Miyamoto, one, where did you meet him?
deadmau5
I think I was the only guy that was able to spot him out as he walked by.
joe rogan
Is that the game designer that we're talking about?
unidentified
Yeah.
brian redban
Creators, Super Mario Brothers, all that stuff.
Where were you?
joe rogan
Whoa!
brian redban
Baseline!
deadmau5
Baseline!
brian redban
Where were you at when that happened?
deadmau5
I was actually in my trailer.
He was not to be announced.
joe rogan
Is his last name Miyamoto?
deadmau5
Miyamoto.
joe rogan
His last name.
deadmau5
Yeah, Shigeru.
joe rogan
In Japanese, if your name was like Miyamoto Musashi, if that was your name, you would say Musashi Miyamoto, right?
deadmau5
I believe so.
joe rogan
What's going on there, Brian?
Being assaulted?
Your mic is totally dead.
Oh, there you go.
So he has another name.
Is that Misashi his last name?
deadmau5
Miyamoto's his last name.
Shigeru is his first name.
joe rogan
Oh, Miyamoto Shigeru.
brian redban
Because you even in your live shows, you incorporate like your logo inside like video games and stuff like on your LED wall, right?
I've seen that before.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Did he know who you were?
Yeah.
deadmau5
I don't know, but he's very Japanese.
He had a translator with him and all that.
So it was actually kind of funny when I talked to him.
Obviously, I told him I was a big fan.
He's like, oh, okay.
And then, you know, I've got this ghost boo tattoo on him.
joe rogan
Did he sign your arm?
deadmau5
Yeah, he did.
joe rogan
Oh, that's badass.
deadmau5
So he signed my arm and I immediately called up PeeWee on Sunset.
And I'm like, bro, I gotta tattoo this.
joe rogan
Yeah, I've seen a few people have other people's names tattooed on their arms.
Mark Maron recently did that.
Some guy had Mark sign his arm that he had tattooed on.
That's got to be a trip.
deadmau5
Well, I've done that for a lot of fans, too.
It only seems right, you know what I mean?
Because you're thinking for a while, like, man, this kid's crazy.
And you're like, he's like, sign my arm, sign my arm.
I'm going to get this tattooed.
And I sign his arm.
And lo and behold, I see him at a future gig.
He's like, dude, remember you sign my arm?
Fuck.
I'm like, dude, that is nuts.
eddie bravo
It happens with Kiss a lot.
I have a t-shirt.
joe rogan
I have a t-shirt company.
It's called Higher Primate.
It's one of them that I'm wearing.
It's all mostly just monkeys and weed and monkeys and psychedelics, monkeys and DMT, monkeys and mushrooms.
But a lot of people have taken the images and turned them into tattoos.
And it's crazy.
I've collected a bunch of images, but it's really a trip to me.
They're like...
These teachers that I'm selling, like one dude has the whole back of his neck is this psychedelic monkey, a monkey in the lotus position, his third eyes glowing, and it's like, it's pretty fucking badass.
He's sitting on the DMT molecule inside of a lotus flower.
This guy's got it tattooed on his neck.
I'm like, this is kind of crazy.
And that thing, the Brian's logo, the Death Squad logo, but it's actually changed.
The new one is different.
So, unfortunately, for all those people that got that one...
deadmau5
He was telling me about this on the way in.
joe rogan
He changed it.
I don't like that you changed it.
The new one sucks.
I'm going to be honest with you.
This one's the shit.
brian redban
Whatever, you don't like the Hitler one.
joe rogan
I don't like the mustache.
brian redban
I mean, the chaplain.
joe rogan
I don't like his chaplain, but I do like the fact that he's strapped together with dynamite.
The new guy, it's like he's a bunny from another planet.
brian redban
Yeah, he's a robot.
eddie bravo
Don't make fun of bunnies, please.
joe rogan
I love bunnies.
brian redban
Yeah.
joe rogan
They're delicious.
brian redban
You must have...
deadmau5
Don't even fuck you up.
eddie bravo
Indian will fuck you up.
brian redban
You were saying that millions of people have your tattoo.
Millions?
I even thought about...
There has to be a lot.
deadmau5
Definitely in the hundreds of thousands.
That's amazing.
joe rogan
Hundreds of thousands.
brian redban
I've actually even thought about getting your local online.
I have the first one.
joe rogan
Why don't you get it?
deadmau5
This is the first one.
joe rogan
Oh, wow.
And what is on the right-hand side of the mouse?
deadmau5
Actually, I'll tell you a funny story.
It's a UPC barcode because I was working with a software company at the time and they did a barcode measurement system kind of thing and I thought, wow, I wonder if you could actually scan a barcode that if it was like tattooed on you and then it didn't work.
Myth fucking busted.
joe rogan
There you go.
brian redban
You started off doing web design, right?
deadmau5
Yeah.
brian redban
I also did, and I hated it.
Did you enjoy it?
deadmau5
Well, I enjoyed it when it was cool and fun, and I had a really client, and he's like, yeah, that's rad.
But I hated it when, hey, it's a little too blue.
brian redban
Yeah.
deadmau5
Maybe we can add some green.
What do you mean by blue?
It's like, dude, well, I'm the fucking designer.
brian redban
Right.
deadmau5
So how about I design the fucking thing?
Well, if you got all the ideas in your head and you know how to do it, then what the fuck do you need me for?
joe rogan
Take my money.
If you had a client and the client came to you and said, hey, we have our dairy farm.
We're trying to build a website.
You're like, all right, I'm going to do it my way, bitch.
unidentified
Well...
deadmau5
My way in what I would think is kind of cool.
You work with a customer to agree, but some of the customers are just like, some of the clients are just like, dude, you're doing this wrong.
And I think that, you know, the balance of the way that this loads is going to be.
Yeah, I understand what you're saying.
brian redban
Then why don't you do it?
joe rogan
Yeah, you have to have a certain amount of artistic license to do anything.
deadmau5
Of course you only think that.
You don't actually go to them.
joe rogan
But that's also one of the reasons why you're probably so great at your music is that you have a very specific vision and you're really enchanted by that vision.
You want to follow it.
deadmau5
Well that's the fun thing about being a producer of electronic music because electronic music has had this stigma for a good decade and a half of basically people taking other people's music.
And then, you know, working in all these justifications as to why it's an art form, okay, yes, turntablism in itself, definitely a fucking art form, you know, it's like, look at the fucking Q-Berts, you know, and all that shit, just going fucking crazy with that, that's fine, but...
joe rogan
I always say, can you do it?
Can I do it?
I can't do it.
Well, there's gotta be an art form.
deadmau5
No, yeah.
joe rogan
It's gotta be.
You can't tell me that there's not a...
I think carpentry's an art form.
unidentified
Absolutely.
joe rogan
It absolutely is.
deadmau5
Everything is, you know.
joe rogan
Sure, everything with focus and intent, and you use your creativity...
deadmau5
But, you know, since, you know, the term DJ, you know, was coined and then people started getting like kind of lazy with it to the point, well, with electronic music to where you could just play the hit big track and then just fade out that last 30 seconds and then fade in the first 30 seconds of the other one.
Now that's...
To me, that's not very artful.
And it's not you.
And you're not adding any unique element into it.
So to have the kind of control where you're making the music that allows you to do that and in different ways, you know what I mean?
That's what makes it special and unique to that one guy as opposed to unique to that one group of fucking guys.
And it was getting really stagnant.
And there was DJ this, DJ that, DJ this, DJ that.
When it was all down to the playlist at the end of the day and none of those guys had any of their own shit in there that made it unique to them.
It's just like...
joe rogan
I think that's just a part of the natural evolution of music and that sort of had to happen before everybody went, hey, you know what, man?
You guys are just copying other people's shit.
deadmau5
Well, I mean, you take it like caveman styles, right?
You got a guy with a fucking log and he's going on the fucking log and everyone's like, yeah, right.
And then this other dude was like, yeah, well, fucking check this out.
And he takes the fucking log and does the exact same thing.
You know what I mean?
And then he's like debunking the other fucking dude.
joe rogan
Right.
Escalating it.
People would criticize you.
All you're doing is playing other people's shit.
And then people go, okay, well, I'm going to make my own shit.
Is that what happened?
deadmau5
I think that's what happened.
unidentified
Yeah.
deadmau5
And it had to happen because it was...
joe rogan
To legitimize the music.
deadmau5
Well, both that and make things unique that were associated with that one person as opposed to something that was this group of people that you weren't quite sure who was doing what and which DJ was better than the other one.
joe rogan
I love the fact that you can just make all these noises just on your computer now.
I mean, I know you might not be able to do what you do, but Brian's made some crazy shit just with garage bands.
deadmau5
Yeah, absolutely.
unidentified
GarageBand!
deadmau5
Justice's whole last album was done completely in GarageBand.
That's crazy!
unidentified
And they're huge!
joe rogan
What is it?
deadmau5
Justice.
joe rogan
Justice?
I've never heard of them.
deadmau5
Justice, really?
I'm an old man.
Oh, okay, you're old.
joe rogan
I listen to like Greg Allman.
deadmau5
Well, they're a little dirtier, a little grungier sounding than my stuff.
joe rogan
I listen to Leonard Skinner.
deadmau5
Fucking, their shit is awesome.
It is so lo-fi, low-tech, no million-dollar studio bullshit.
joe rogan
Do you like bands like the Black Keys?
deadmau5
I love them.
I love, actually, I worked with them.
joe rogan
Your fucking cat's meowing.
unidentified
Is it?
joe rogan
Freak.
Sorry.
You work with them?
Where'd you work with them?
deadmau5
Oh, we did the VGAs.
Or, sorry, the VMAs.
unidentified
Oh, really?
joe rogan
Wow.
deadmau5
Oh, wait, what the fuck did we do?
What was it?
Oh, my God.
Really?
Are you sleeping?
My manager's fucking asleep.
Earning this 20%.
joe rogan
Whoa, hold on, 20 for real?
Talk to me about that.
Listen, that's bullshit.
We negotiate, Dean.
unidentified
Yeah, we're supposed to pay 20. There's my one.
joe rogan
I haven't even heard of the best getting more than 15. It's okay.
deadmau5
He earns it.
He's tired because he was working so fucking hard today at the Grammys.
joe rogan
My goodness.
Are you nominated for anything?
unidentified
Yeah.
brian redban
Three.
deadmau5
Three of them.
joe rogan
Wow.
deadmau5
Don't ask me what they are, please.
joe rogan
It's kind of cool.
brian redban
Best dance, I believe.
eddie bravo
You gotta know.
brian redban
Come on.
joe rogan
I got a VH1 Best of Award.
deadmau5
So anyway, fuck, you're making me lose shit.
joe rogan
Sorry.
deadmau5
Black Keys.
joe rogan
Yeah, Black Keys.
deadmau5
Dude, it was amazing.
We did, oh, the VMAs.
Yes, the Video Music Awards.
joe rogan
Is that MTV? Yes.
deadmau5
Yeah, and we kind of, I was kind of charged with the task of being like the house music guy, like, you know, throughout the whole night.
And so, like, and the commercial break, here's this guy in the mouse head.
Okay, here's a commercial.
brian redban
VMS, you did the Virgin Mobile Fest.
deadmau5
VMA. Oh.
Virgin Music Awards.
unidentified
Fuck.
deadmau5
Video Music Awards.
It should be the MVAs.
Music Video Awards.
brian redban
Right?
It was for all the videos.
joe rogan
Video Music Awards.
deadmau5
So I had to work with all these other artists like Robin and Jason Derulo, the Black Keys, and someone else.
But anyway, the point was is I had to kind of take their stuff and electronicize it and remix it in a way that, you know, they could either perform with and play with and all that stuff.
And I did...
I did that song, that really good song by the Black Keys.
joe rogan
A new one, an older one?
deadmau5
No, it's an older one.
It was their big hit.
eddie bravo
Joe loves the Black Keys.
deadmau5
He talks about them all the time.
joe rogan
I'm trying to think of what song you could be thinking.
They have so many songs.
Tighten Up.
deadmau5
Thank you.
Is it Tighten Up?
Yes, it was definitely Tighten Up.
And it was really cool.
So I did this kind of cool version of it and then played that out during the commercial break.
And they were into it, and they were like, dude, yeah, we should probably make this an unofficial remix or something like that.
And I'm just like, oh man, that'd be awesome.
But I got to work on so much shit that we never got around to it.
joe rogan
Oh, that's too bad.
People's taste in music is so bizarre.
I asked Brian to put on Little Black Submarines last night while we were doing our Ice House Chronicles show.
This is one of my favorite songs.
I love this fucking song.
And I expected a lot of people, and most people on Twitter, ironically, were in agreement.
Like, wow, what a great fucking song.
But on my message board, my message board is filled with so many cunts.
brian redban
It's a cunt.
It's a cunt room.
joe rogan
You just close it down and kill them all.
unidentified
It really is a cunt farm.
deadmau5
Can we say cunt on the show?
Can we say cunt?
joe rogan
You can say cunt.
brian redban
You can say fucking cunt.
joe rogan
It's a cunt farm.
Guys, we're shitting on this song.
It's nothing.
It makes me think of Stairway to Heaven.
Shut your fucking dumb hole.
brian redban
Cunt hole.
deadmau5
Shut your cunt holes.
joe rogan
You dumb, negative, twat-faced fuckhead.
It's a great goddamn song.
For you to just get all negative like that, I guarantee your life is a bag of shit.
deadmau5
It's okay to be subjective about music.
It's okay to be subjective, but it's not okay to be like, you know what, fuck all this.
joe rogan
That song's brilliant, man.
It's brilliant.
I'm just kidding, obviously.
You're allowed to hate it.
Obviously.
I'm only fucking around.
People are like, yeah, man!
Will you fucking dictate what I like?
A lot of this passion is just for entertainment, okay?
I don't really want you to...
People get so serious.
Like, we were talking about Margaret Thatcher the other day, and I'm like, women shouldn't be allowed to run anything.
Half of that, I'm joking around.
It's for fun.
But I got so many women that got mad at me.
Like, really?
I mean, do you not know any men?
Do you not know what happens when five guys get together and drink and smoke pot?
They start talking shit.
And when one guy starts talking about how awesome Margaret Thatcher is, every other dude in the room goes, Margaret Thatcher can suck my dick.
That's all you start thinking.
That's how guys react.
They're like, what?
The only reason why she was running shit is because all those English guys, none of them could fuck her.
We're making things up.
We don't really believe anything we're saying.
We're just trying to be funny.
I'm sure Margaret Thatcher was awesome.
By the way, Meryl Streep, wonderful actress.
I was only joking around when I said she sucked.
unidentified
Is this all like damage control?
deadmau5
Damage control from the last show.
joe rogan
No, it's arguing with people.
No, this is my point.
I have a point to all this.
It's arguing with people on the internet.
You know, it's like people's taste of the internet.
Because when we started putting that you're going to be on, 99% of the people were super psyched.
deadmau5
What was the 1%?
joe rogan
There's 1% cunt faces.
Shithead, loser, negative little twat.
deadmau5
You gotta give it up to that one fucking guy because he's the guy that's first in line that starts the ball of negativity.
So here's the thing is you read...
joe rogan
You gotta give it up to him?
deadmau5
There's a science...
Well, yeah and no, okay?
But there's a science behind all of this fucking trolling.
There really is.
So you go look at a YouTube video and if a top rated or most recent comment is something negative, people tend to agree with that whether they believe it or not.
joe rogan
Yes.
deadmau5
You know what I mean?
So it's like, yeah, fuck this.
Yeah, you know what?
unidentified
You're right.
deadmau5
Fuck this.
Yeah, those other two dudes are right.
Fuck him.
brian redban
Right.
joe rogan
Yeah, no, I enjoy that.
I enjoy the one completely out to left field, super negative, in a world full of happiness.
deadmau5
As long as it's well-crafted.
As long as it's handmade.
Very rarely is well-crafted.
Yeah, well, fuck it.
joe rogan
Yeah, very rarely.
brian redban
One of my favorite guys is Daft Punk and their film, Interstellar, I must watch at least once a month.
Do you ever have any plans to maybe release a full-length movie using your music and maybe animation using your logo or something cool like that?
deadmau5
Well, that's a project among projects.
joe rogan
If you did that, then maybe Disney might want to redo it.
deadmau5
Seriously.
brian redban
Have Disney do it, right?
joe rogan
If you were making your own animation with the mouse, they'd be like, bitch.
deadmau5
I think I was actually up there in that whole pot of names to do the Tron thing.
brian redban
Oh, really?
deadmau5
Yeah, I thought I was.
joe rogan
To do the music soundtrack?
unidentified
What?
joe rogan
To do the soundtrack?
deadmau5
Right.
But honestly, if it was me and I knew they were in there, I'd have to give it to them.
joe rogan
I enjoyed that music, man.
A little bit of it was geek nostalgia.
I enjoyed the first movie and I was looking forward to it.
But it was also just for the sheer cinematic, the visuals of it all, the world they created, I give it to you.
It doesn't have to be a perfect story.
You're doing a lot.
You're getting a lot of shit done here.
You're creating this crazy artificial world where people ride motorcycles and chop each other in half.
deadmau5
Right.
joe rogan
I'll let you slide.
Tron, little mouse.
brian redban
I love it.
joe rogan
It was kind of interesting how they're not quite ready to do human faces.
You know, the William...
What is his name?
William Hurt?
brian redban
William Hurt.
joe rogan
William Hurt's character.
brian redban
It was pretty close, but it was a little creepy.
unidentified
It was a little creepy.
deadmau5
I haven't watched that.
joe rogan
Marginally better.
deadmau5
I haven't seen it.
I don't want to ruin the...
joe rogan
Do you have a 3D TV? Marginally better than I Am Legend when the lion comes out.
Remember when the lion comes out in I Am Legend?
deadmau5
What happened?
joe rogan
It looks terrible.
It ruined the whole movie for me.
This lion looks so stupid.
unidentified
It was fake.
joe rogan
It looks like a lion from Dora the Explorer.
It was like...
D-D-Dora!
The door to the Explorer line comes out of the bushes.
It was ridiculous.
It was terrible CGI. They can't do animals that are real yet.
They can do dinosaurs.
They can do aliens.
They can do all sorts of shit that doesn't exist.
eddie bravo
It's true.
The good with old men.
joe rogan
They're not bad.
They're not bad because there's a lot of wrinkles.
eddie bravo
Old men, they got that.
brian redban
It's easy.
joe rogan
They look real.
eddie bravo
Hot chicks?
Man, it's all cartoon.
They can't get that.
joe rogan
They're pretty close.
I agree with you.
eddie bravo
That's the hardest one.
Every year, they're discussing the hot chicks.
joe rogan
You could deal with a real rough texture with the old men.
What they can't do, though, they can't do animals yet.
They can't do like a dog.
deadmau5
Is it like the fur?
joe rogan
Yeah, it's the fur.
It's the face.
It looks fake.
eddie bravo
Definitely the hair.
deadmau5
That's not my department.
joe rogan
The fur.
It's a real issue.
It doesn't look good.
deadmau5
I'm about to actually embark on a serious CG journey that I can't really give too much information about.
But we're actually like been bidding around with companies right now.
And dude, we're looking at like 500 grand a minute.
unidentified
Are you serious?
joe rogan
It's going to make 500 grand a minute?
deadmau5
No.
joe rogan
It's going to cost 500 grand a minute?
unidentified
500 grand?
deadmau5
Holy shit!
No, but we're talking like final rendered, all composed, everything.
joe rogan
Oh my god, that's insane.
deadmau5
It is so expensive.
joe rogan
For a 90 minute movie, what is that, $45 million?
deadmau5
Well, no.
I mean, if you want to inject it into a scene.
eddie bravo
You need to take that to Cambodia.
brian redban
You just need to call Foxconn.
deadmau5
If it's entirely CG, like Final Fantasy, that's significantly cheaper.
But if you're doing camera tracking with real world stuff and doing it right, then that's when it gets expensive.
joe rogan
$500,000 a minute.
deadmau5
A fucking minute.
joe rogan
For real, it really is $45 million for a 90-minute movie.
deadmau5
Not if it's all CG. And it's not.
Shit like Transformers is not going to cost $500.
joe rogan
But a movie like Final Fantasy...
brian redban
Yeah.
deadmau5
No, because it's all CG. It incorporates no real world shit.
joe rogan
Oh, so that's all of an issue when you incorporate real world.
deadmau5
Right.
Yes, because you have to do camera tracking and all this crazy shit.
joe rogan
Oh, I see.
That makes sense.
deadmau5
Yeah.
eddie bravo
Damn, you're very knowledgeable with all this CGI shit.
deadmau5
Well, I had a fucking two hour long meeting about it.
unidentified
Damn.
joe rogan
Half a million dollar a day fucking jamming.
eddie bravo
Damn, they made sure he knew.
joe rogan
Half a million dollars a minute.
deadmau5
They sometimes do it with music videos, but what they do is they'll take that minute and they'll split it over the whole video.
If it's a seven minute long video, it's not going to be six minutes of this and then, oh, last minute's all CG. They cut it and they edit it and all that stuff.
joe rogan
That's so hard to wrap your head around, though.
eddie bravo
That's still expensive.
brian redban
That's when you just need to date a CGI artist.
That's all you should do.
joe rogan
Right?
There you go.
brian redban
I mean, why don't you just...
I know.
unidentified
That's a Brian solution for everything.
deadmau5
I know about...
Just fucking 30. Very single, very nerdy, fucking talented motherfuckers who can whip that shit up like that.
brian redban
You date every one week.
You date a shadower one week.
You date a fucking motion tracker one week.
joe rogan
Your life's going to be a graveyard as his...
eddie bravo
Can I tell my dead mouse, blow it up story?
I want to blow it up.
unidentified
Sure.
eddie bravo
This is my story.
I don't know, maybe a year and a half ago.
deadmau5
Oh, cool story, bro.
joe rogan
Oh, no.
You just got shut down, son.
This is based on the merit of your previous stories.
He doesn't even know you.
unidentified
No, no, seriously.
eddie bravo
I'm going to blow your music up right now.
joe rogan
Oh, that's not what he needs at this point in his career.
eddie bravo
No, but I'm going to tell my story.
I got a dead mouth story.
joe rogan
Are you going to redeem yourself from the previous story?
eddie bravo
Is that what's going on?
I have a dead mouth story, yes.
deadmau5
Does this one have an ending?
eddie bravo
I do.
unidentified
You know what?
eddie bravo
You know what?
unidentified
Listen.
eddie bravo
He's here.
We're doing a podcast.
joe rogan
Oh, shit.
eddie bravo
And I have a dead mouth story.
Like, might as well tell the story.
joe rogan
Okay.
eddie bravo
So, about a year and a half ago, he does a big thing at the Staples Center with a bunch of other DJs.
It's like a big gaming convention thing.
The E3. E3. Big thing.
Staples Center.
joe rogan
Huge.
eddie bravo
Danny Loner.
Dude is producing my stuff.
X9 Snails.
He has tickets.
He calls me up.
You want to go?
I go, cool.
We go last minute.
The show's huge.
It's massive.
It's amazing.
I really didn't get to hear too much music.
I really wasn't paying attention.
At this point, I didn't know any Deadmau5 stuff.
I didn't know.
And we went backstage, took some pictures.
I met him briefly.
I remember the tattoo now when I see him.
So, six months goes by, I'm getting tattoo, getting ink done, and dude who's tattooing me's got Pandora dubstep going on.
And I'm sitting there for like five hours listening, and I don't like anything, man.
It's very hard for me to be excited about music, man.
You gotta be fucking good.
The whole day goes by and one song crushes me.
Bass Nectar Time Stretch.
I heard that shit, I was getting inked.
I'm like...
unidentified
Fuck!
eddie bravo
Time Stretch by Bass Nectar is amazing.
It blew me away.
So we had to stop tattooing.
I had to write that shit down.
I'm like, rarely do I get blown away like that.
Most of that shit was just, like, good production.
But I'm like, where's the song?
I'm looking for the song.
joe rogan
I need to hear that.
Throw that shit on, Brian.
eddie bravo
Oh, dude, it's amazing.
joe rogan
I don't think you can.
deadmau5
Bass Nectar?
eddie bravo
Bass Nectar, Time Stretch.
One of the most amazing songs ever written.
joe rogan
I bet it's on there.
It's gotta be online.
eddie bravo
It's in the Dead Mouse area.
But let me finish my story real quick.
deadmau5
I like how this is a Dev Mouse story.
joe rogan
No, no.
Hold on, hold on.
That's not your shit.
What he's talking about is not your shit.
deadmau5
Super talented fucking dude, nonetheless.
joe rogan
Okay.
eddie bravo
So, the whole day, there's one song, Bass Nectar, Time Stretch.
joe rogan
Right, right, right.
eddie bravo
So then I get in my car, my arms all wrapped up, And I go, I got one awesome song by just listening to, you know, listening to a Pandora dubstep station.
So right there on my way home, it was going to take about an hour and a half to get home with traffic.
I put on dubstep.
I wanted to find another song.
So I kept listening song after song after song, an hour into it.
And then, boom, Ghost and Stuff comes on.
I'm like, holy shit, that's his stuff.
joe rogan
That's Deadbound.
Okay, find that one.
eddie bravo
Ghost and Stuff.
joe rogan
Ghost and stuff, find that.
deadmau5
I heard that.
Because we couldn't call it ghost and shit.
eddie bravo
I heard that shit, and no, seriously, this is a real story.
Bam, bought it on iTunes right away.
joe rogan
There's no way this is a real story.
This is like a make-believe story, like you're in a castle.
unidentified
Yeah.
eddie bravo
Yes, exactly.
I don't know what that means, but that's the way it went down.
I wasn't, I didn't like anything.
joe rogan
Crank the shit up.
eddie bravo
The whole day of listening to dubstep, bass nectar time stretch, and your ghosts and stuff, that fucking floored me.
I bought it on iTunes.
I don't buy shit unless it's fucking beat.
joe rogan
Let me hear some volume, Brian.
eddie bravo
That's some real shit right there.
deadmau5
He's looking at me.
Like, do you want to do it?
Do you want to push the fader up?
joe rogan
He's scared.
It'd be like cooking in front of Anthony Bourdain.
eddie bravo
I'm not sure what mix this is.
I don't know if this is the same.
unidentified
Is it loud?
deadmau5
It's the original, this one.
brian redban
Is that loud in yours?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
You can tell instantly that it's the original.
deadmau5
Yeah, this is the original.
joe rogan
Oh, this is cool.
deadmau5
No, I don't get tired of this fucking one.
joe rogan
Do you get tired of your own music?
Play Freebird!
Listen, man, for me, this is all unique.
I apologize, but I'm enjoying it.
How are you creating this?
Are you using musical programs?
deadmau5
This is the only one track I didn't do in a studio.
I did it in a hotel room in England, in London.
Yeah, it was really funny.
And the name came up.
joe rogan
Just chilling?
deadmau5
Just chilling out, and I got some computers and stuff.
And there's that bass line again.
joe rogan
That's UFOs, man.
That's the government.
The government's listening.
deadmau5
We're dangerous.
I'm messing about, and I'm talking to, he's a big DJ over in England, Pete Tong.
He does the BBC Radio 1 show and all that stuff, and we had some discussion about the hotel that I was staying in, and he's like, yeah, bro, it's haunted.
You know, and doors are opening and shutting in my room and shit.
So, you know, and I'm just kind of like, I name songs that like spur of the moment kind of bullshit thing.
I don't really put any thought into the name, so I just called it Ghost and Shit.
So I sent it off.
Yeah, and then we sent it off to EMI and they're like, oh, we can't call it Ghost and Shit.
Ghost and stuff.
unidentified
Fuck it.
deadmau5
What a silly...
joe rogan
Ghost and stuff is kind of cool.
deadmau5
You know, because you know what?
No, because even if you did that, you would have to put that goddamn sticker on the front of the CD that has explicit lyrics, even though it's not a lyric.
joe rogan
Right.
deadmau5
It's in the song title.
joe rogan
Right.
deadmau5
And then that actually detriments you from fucking millions of Wal-Mart.
joe rogan
You can't get into Wal-Mart, right?
deadmau5
Yeah.
eddie bravo
iTunes, I was trying to find Nas Life We Chose with...
There's so much cussing in it.
Oh my god.
He says the N-word like throughout the chorus.
It's huge.
But on iTunes, I keep downloading the clean one.
They just pull out the lyrics.
joe rogan
I'm like, fuck!
eddie bravo
It sucks without all that shit.
joe rogan
Yeah, there's nothing more disturbing when you're in a club and you're looking to have a good time and you realize a song that you're hearing is a censored version of it.
deadmau5
Oh, I remember a few of those.
That the track didn't work.
Yeah, that one, Forget You.
joe rogan
Without Forget you?
eddie bravo
I don't want to hear that forget you ever.
It's only good with the fuck you.
I thought it was a great song all the way through, but then when they changed it, I'm like, oh, it was that fuck you.
joe rogan
It really was.
I feel like, I don't know if this is real, because I might have blocked it out.
deadmau5
They called people slugging a bitch instead of son of a bitch on movies, and it was really bad.
joe rogan
Like Goodfellas or something like that.
eddie bravo
When I overdubbed.
joe rogan
Who was the girl that Brad Pitt used to be married to?
She's an actress.
brian redban
Jennifer Aniston.
joe rogan
No, the other one.
deadmau5
Angelina Jolie.
joe rogan
The first one.
eddie bravo
Damn.
brian redban
Veronica.
joe rogan
No, the first one, man.
eddie bravo
Gwyneth Paltrow.
joe rogan
Gwyneth Paltrow.
unidentified
Thank you.
Boom!
Boom!
joe rogan
Knuckles.
eddie bravo
What?
joe rogan
Gwyneth Paltrow is in that show Glee, right?
And she was singing Forget You.
She was singing it.
I'm pretty sure I heard it.
I might have just, in the fury of suck, I might have just blacked out.
It was just too much irony for me.
I couldn't handle it.
I wanted it to be a part of my imagination, so I couldn't even talk about it on stage.
eddie bravo
Forget you.
Forget the song.
joe rogan
I think she was singing it.
I'm pretty sure she was singing it.
It was death.
It was death.
But it made me so sad that that first song was so dope.
We played that song on the podcast.
Never has the song gone from being so fucking badass to just some shit that's like Muzak on an elevator that you don't even want to hear, man.
unidentified
I hate that.
joe rogan
That Fuck You song was the shit!
When it first came out, a fucking ugly fat guy singing Fuck You!
Fuck You!
And you're like, yeah!
You wanted him to say it!
Yeah, say it, dude!
deadmau5
Fuck her!
I wonder if he has to pull back on certain shows and do the Forget You song.
joe rogan
Of course he does.
He ain't probably all he does now.
They probably made a deal with him.
They probably bring him new white women on a regular basis.
deadmau5
He's gonna be the next Rage Against the Machine on the Christmas special at fucking BBC where they're gonna go, okay, well you can't say fuck you, I won't do what you tell me.
joe rogan
Forget you, I won't do what you tell me.
Did they really say that?
No way.
Would you imagine?
unidentified
Did you just think of this right now?
eddie bravo
Because that was awesome.
joe rogan
That is awesome.
deadmau5
Forget you, I won't do what you tell us.
joe rogan
Well, you remember when the Beatles got on the Ed Sullivan show?
deadmau5
Oh, it couldn't get much higher.
joe rogan
Yeah, it was a big issue.
unidentified
That was risque.
joe rogan
Babe, you couldn't get much higher.
Yeah, that was a big deal.
They wanted him to change those lyrics out.
deadmau5
Girl, you couldn't get much, forget you.
joe rogan
Yeah.
And he did it.
Remember in the movie, he got real close to the camera when he said it, and he fucking violated them.
eddie bravo
Yesterday I was singing on camera, I was singing the second verse to She Swallowed It, old NWA. She forgot.
And I was on video.
unidentified
Juicing at the lift.
joe rogan
Dude, you could be a stand-up.
deadmau5
Sorry.
joe rogan
You could easily be a stand-up.
unidentified
Would you ever try stand-up?
joe rogan
If you wanted to, you could be a stand-up.
deadmau5
Forget you.
unidentified
Damn.
brian redban
Non-stop tagging.
eddie bravo
So I was singing along to the second verse.
There was some people around, and I was just singing.
joe rogan
Why were you doing that?
eddie bravo
And there was a lot of N-word in there.
joe rogan
And you were singing it?
Were there black people in the car with you?
eddie bravo
No, but it did feel wrong.
joe rogan
It felt uncomfortable.
eddie bravo
No, it did.
joe rogan
Why were you singing that song?
That's not a good song.
eddie bravo
I love that song.
joe rogan
Do you really?
She swallowed it?
unidentified
Dude, that's one of the greatest rap songs ever.
joe rogan
Seriously.
It's okay.
eddie bravo
She swallowed it is one of the greatest rap songs ever.
joe rogan
It was pretty cool when I was 15. Yeah, exactly.
brian redban
When I wanted to hear people talk about sex.
unidentified
Come on.
joe rogan
Yeah, man.
I remember listening to it.
The first time I ever listened to that song, I was on a treadmill in Revere, Massachusetts.
I was at the gym.
deadmau5
That's funny that you remember exactly what you were doing and where you were.
joe rogan
I do.
Absolutely remember exactly.
brian redban
It's an amazing song.
joe rogan
Because I had just recently got what was a dope-ass Walkman cassette player at the time.
unidentified
Fuck yeah.
joe rogan
It was the shit.
It was bright yellow, okay?
And I was doing my cardio on this fucking treadmill.
And I'm on this treadmill, and I remember listening to NWA while I'm jogging.
unidentified
I'm like, these fucking guys are seeing some really crazy shit.
joe rogan
You know, like, all this stuff about being violent against white people.
I'm like, am I supposed to be entertained by this?
I was so confused.
It was all an act, dude.
eddie bravo
It was all an act.
joe rogan
But I was like, what is this?
They're criminals?
That's a good thing all of a sudden?
I remember like, you know, what the fuck is going on?
I can't be this guy because I'm only 20. I can't be this guy that's going, what the fuck is going on with this country?
deadmau5
You're right.
joe rogan
What's going on with this country?
brian redban
Not yet.
deadmau5
I was too young, but yet those were the thoughts that were happening in my mind as I was listening to this CD. I get that when I listen to LMFAO. You don't like that sexy song?
joe rogan
I'll tell you what, I didn't like that sexy song until I saw the video.
And then I thought, that's a fun video.
brian redban
Do you remember me saying, I was in Vegas, and I heard this stupid loop of...
Then I heard it in like seven songs.
joe rogan
He had a bit about that.
brian redban
Yeah, I had a bit about how much I hated that.
And then I found out it was Elm FAO had that in like one of their main songs.
deadmau5
Well, that was Afrojack that started that whole thing.
brian redban
Yeah, exactly.
It was not them, right?
Originally, right?
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
deadmau5
Right.
Okay.
Fair enough.
joe rogan
Does that happen in music?
deadmau5
That happens especially in...
See, electronic music goes through these phases, okay?
The first notable phase was the Benny Benassi bass line.
joe rogan
Oh, Benny!
deadmau5
This big, farty, you know, saw wave, right?
What does that mean?
joe rogan
What does that mean?
Who's Benny Benassi?
deadmau5
Benny Benassi's a lovely guy from Italy.
joe rogan
Great name.
What a fucking awesome name.
deadmau5
He's a DJ producer.
He did the track, you know, Satisfaction.
Have you ever heard that Dancy track?
I can't get my Satisfaction.
joe rogan
Is it like a Rolling Stones cover?
deadmau5
No, no, no, no.
It wasn't a cover.
It was a complete original.
It was like this robotic voice.
joe rogan
Okay.
deadmau5
Anyway, breakout fucking track, but it had the signature sound.
Now, it's nothing new.
It wasn't this amazing breakout technology, but it's like this just big, thick, meaty, fuck off, like a sawtooth wave that you hear.
And he kind of like capitalized on that.
And that was a thing, you know, for a while.
So a lot of other producers started fucking knocking it off.
And then what happened was, you know, you had guys like Josh Winks who kind of pioneered the TB-303.
Now this is like some old, you know, Japanese bassline instrument that was supposed to be used as a bass simulator.
And then Buddy got the idea to crank the resonance on it and then, you know, use it as a synth.
So it did this...
You know, like the fucking 303. Then everyone started doing it.
So we're like the electronic music committee, or committee, fucking group.
You know, we're all susceptible to these kind of fads that happen.
joe rogan
That's some badass music history right there, though.
brian redban
Well, right.
deadmau5
Now, Diplo does this thing.
He comes out with taking like a piece of vocal and taking just the little sustained little bit of it and going there.
And then everyone starts fucking doing it.
brian redban
Yeah.
deadmau5
So there's all these little fads that just keep happening with electronic music.
eddie bravo
Let the beat drop.
Like that shit?
deadmau5
Yeah, I like that.
That's a constant.
eddie bravo
I fucking love the beat drop.
deadmau5
I can't fucking stand it.
I hate it when there are narratives in tracks.
joe rogan
Oh, you hate that?
deadmau5
Like, put your hands up.
eddie bravo
Like the Kanye West song?
unidentified
What is this, a fucking robbery?
It's a creative robbery.
joe rogan
Don't tell me what to fucking do.
unidentified
Fuck you.
joe rogan
It's a creative robbery.
eddie bravo
I think it's fun.
I actually like that shit.
Really?
brian redban
I want a whole song.
unidentified
I love it.
It's like the song comes with this massive crescendo.
joe rogan
I'm never in a club.
unidentified
And then a massive bass line happens.
deadmau5
It's like a bad fucking porn is what it is.
It's like, oh, I'm coming.
I'm coming.
Well, no fucking shit.
unidentified
I'm coming.
deadmau5
I'm coming all over you.
I'm coming all over you.
Yeah, we get it.
brian redban
There's random voices.
deadmau5
I can't stand watching porn with narratives.
joe rogan
It's like, oh, you're fucking me.
unidentified
You're fucking me.
deadmau5
I'm fucking you.
I'm fucking you.
joe rogan
That's so true.
deadmau5
Have you ever seen Spinal Tap?
joe rogan
It's so annoying.
deadmau5
Have you seen Spinal Tap?
joe rogan
Yes.
deadmau5
Sure.
Okay, Artie Fufkin.
That's the only thing that comes to mind when I hear these obligatory sci-fi samples in dance music.
It's like, hi, Artie Fufkin, Polymer Records.
Hi, Artie Fufkin, Polymer Records.
That's hilarious.
Artie Fufkin, Polymer Records.
And then his name comes up on the screen and says, Artie Fufkin, Polymer Records.
joe rogan
I'm like...
deadmau5
Dude, that is amazing.
I don't know if they meant to do that or not, but it's just so fucking funny.
Because he said it, like, about 15 times in a five-second frame.
And then they show his name, like, in case you didn't fucking get it.
joe rogan
Oh, that's funny.
That's brilliant.
deadmau5
So they do it in porn, and they do it in dance music.
joe rogan
Yeah, porn, it can ruin porn.
deadmau5
Oh, it totally can.
unidentified
It's like this chick is sucking this guy's dick, and he's like, yeah, you're sucking my dick.
joe rogan
Like, no shit.
deadmau5
It just makes me think, like, do they have to fucking do this for people that might not understand what's happening on the screen?
brian redban
Or blind people.
joe rogan
Holy shit, I didn't think about that.
brian redban
It's for blind people masturbating.
deadmau5
It's like, the book's on tape.
joe rogan
Well, why wouldn't you want to just do the sounds?
Fuck my dirty ass, the book.
brian redban
Do you know there's websites that narrate porn videos just for blind people?
Oh, that's hilarious.
deadmau5
He's approaching the mountain.
brian redban
He's coming outside.
That's hilarious.
He's pointing down his pants.
His cock is flaccid.
He's got a big helmet, purple.
And they're good?
joe rogan
Are they really descriptive, like poetic?
brian redban
Yeah, and it's weird because it's a community-based purple.
joe rogan
Can we find some of that right now?
We could find some of that right now.
Can we hear this shit right now?
Yeah, let's hear it, man.
eddie bravo
Come on, man.
joe rogan
See if we can pull that up.
That's brilliant.
unidentified
Damn!
eddie bravo
The market for that!
joe rogan
Come on!
The units they're selling!
I think people have different things.
Some people like watching other people fuck, and some people like watching porn pretending it's them.
You're like, oh, that could be me, that could be me.
Some people like being the person actually just beating off watching people fuck.
It's like two totally different mindsets.
eddie bravo
For me, it's just looking at the naked girl.
joe rogan
That's me, but I mean...
eddie bravo
I don't know why I'm looking at that.
I'm looking at the legs.
I'm like, that looks good.
joe rogan
I'm totally down with that, but I have to put myself in a completely different mindset if it's a black guy.
If it's a black guy fucking a white girl, I have to go, okay, this is clearly not really me.
eddie bravo
You know what I mean?
joe rogan
I can't even pretend this is some of my weird porn when I had my blonde wig on.
I'm forgetting you so hard.
deadmau5
I'm forgetting you so hard right now.
joe rogan
Blonde lion's mane wig for a while.
eddie bravo
There is a scene where people like watching African Americans fuck white girls.
joe rogan
Oh, yeah.
Well, there's a lot of guys who have weird submissives.
deadmau5
There's a porn for it.
joe rogan
Of course there is.
Cuckholding, it's called.
It's a special condition.
African American cuckholding.
eddie bravo
Cuckholding?
joe rogan
I've never heard of the cuckolding.
Men want to be punked and they want another manly man to fuck their wife in front of them.
There's a lot of creepy dudes.
There's a lot of guys who have some weird fucking freak fetishes, man.
eddie bravo
You think there's black dudes who fantasize about their chick getting fucked by a white guy?
joe rogan
Sure.
deadmau5
Absolutely.
joe rogan
Master gonna come over.
Fuck you, ain't he?
And they freak out.
I don't know even, what are you going on with?
eddie bravo
Master fucking you, Amy!
unidentified
Master fucking you, I'm working in the fields.
brian redban
And here's Skank Beaver.
It's from Point for a Blonde.
joe rogan
I'm sure.
Whatever's forbidden, man.
Whatever the fuck is forbidden, someone's doing it.
Just for the psychological benefit.
unidentified
This is Joshua here.
At pornfortheblind.org.
joe rogan
Oh my god.
unidentified
Here I am presented with a clip by Skankbreakers website showing a woman in a glass of white substances and...
joe rogan
You're fired.
You're fired.
unidentified
I scroll down to the page and find myself at the...
deadmau5
Oh, well, honey, I have another audition today.
Wish me luck.
eddie bravo
Come on, man.
unidentified
No.
Wait.
Alright, the video is starting with a woman who is young and attractive and tan laying back on a bed and...
Oh!
brian redban
What?!
unidentified
Oh my...
Um, what just happened is, um...
joe rogan
This is fake.
deadmau5
This is fucked.
joe rogan
This is bullshit.
This is fake.
deadmau5
It's fake.
joe rogan
Brian, this is fake.
brian redban
No, no, no.
Listen.
joe rogan
They got us.
They got us.
brian redban
No, hey, let me explain.
This is a community-based website, and if you look at the screen right now, there's a whole bunch of them that people put on there, so some of them definitely are fake, but some of them are.
I've listened to a few of them.
joe rogan
Oh, okay.
Well, that guy, that one guy, yeah, that one guy was clearly trying to be an asshole.
brian redban
Right.
eddie bravo
God damn it.
That would have been great.
joe rogan
You could tell just by the way he was talking.
deadmau5
You know what?
It would have been just as funny if he would have just kept the act.
brian redban
Yeah, exactly.
joe rogan
If you're going to do a porn for the blind and describe someone fucking, you better sound horny.
brian redban
Those people just hate blind people.
joe rogan
You can't be like, well, she's taking on his cock.
It's not like a special thing.
This guy's not excited about it.
deadmau5
So would they lie?
Also, would they kind of lie?
I mean, because it's like phone sex, right?
So you're on a phone with some chick.
You don't know what she looks like.
Of course, she's saying she's all this and she's all that.
So would they kind of just fudge in some shit?
joe rogan
Our good friend Marilyn Martinez, she passed away recently.
We love her to death.
She was awesome.
Great comedian.
Really funny lady that used to hang around the comedy store.
She was a phone sex operator.
And she was probably five feet tall.
eddie bravo
Damn, I didn't know that.
joe rogan
Yeah, she's maybe...
deadmau5
Like legitimately a phone sex operator.
joe rogan
Yeah, and she was a big woman.
She was really big.
eddie bravo
I knew her.
I just didn't know she was a phone sex operator.
joe rogan
She was really unhealthy.
She was big.
unidentified
Wow.
joe rogan
Yeah, and she was doing full sex.
unidentified
Come on, that's a TV show.
joe rogan
And she would come and talk about it at the comic store.
It was hilarious.
It would have been a great TV show.
If she was alive today, it would have been a great TV show.
She was hilarious, and she was great in describing all these fucking freaks that would call her up.
Yeah, I like toes in my ass.
Oh, baby, I got my toe in your ass right now.
Yeah, my toes in your ass.
I'm like, oh, my fucking toes in your ass?
unidentified
What?
joe rogan
And she would go, oh yeah, these sick fucks, they want to hear all kinds of shit.
eddie bravo
I've seen that in a porn recently.
I'm like, what is going on?
deadmau5
There is a porn out there on somewhere.com with a guy and a mouse head on a chick.
joe rogan
Oh, no.
deadmau5
I shit you not.
joe rogan
Oh, no.
unidentified
That's awesome.
joe rogan
That's weird.
deadmau5
And I get that ass all the time.
Everyone's like, oh, would you do a chick with a mouse head on?
joe rogan
You feel responsible?
eddie bravo
Somewhere...
deadmau5
I wouldn't.
joe rogan
Somewhere down the line, prosthetics is going to get so good that you're going to be able to watch JFK fucking Marilyn Monroe.
deadmau5
You know what?
I'm kind of scared about this shit.
I really am.
Not in terms of a fucking dude in a fucking mouse head or whatever, but think about it.
You know, where people are getting convicted on CCTV footage or doing shit like that.
With today's CG artists and shit like that...
joe rogan
Oh, it's absolutely true.
deadmau5
We could fuck a dude up.
joe rogan
Do you remember Rat Wag the Dog?
Remember that Dustin Hoffman movie?
deadmau5
I haven't seen that.
joe rogan
It was a movie about...
They faked some military action.
It was a political movie.
And a lot of it was special effects they used.
They brought in Hollywood guys.
And I was thinking, you know, today, God, it would be so easy.
It really would.
It would be so easy to fake something.
It would be so easy.
deadmau5
Doesn't that fucking scare the shit out of you a little bit?
joe rogan
It's terrifying.
It's terrifying if they can restrict access.
deadmau5
They're overdubbing my shit right now with meows.
joe rogan
What do you mean?
deadmau5
Meows.
joe rogan
Oh, yeah.
deadmau5
Like, fuck, you know?
It's not hard to do.
joe rogan
There's a recent law passed by Congress that's going to have hundreds of thousands of drones in the sky.
Dude, what the fuck?
Something like more than 30,000 drones.
deadmau5
Like really boring people?
joe rogan
No, no, no.
Have you been keeping up with that?
deadmau5
Let's fucking put them in orbit.
joe rogan
No, um...
Cameras.
Cameras in the sky to watch over the city streets.
The idea is, hey man, if you're not doing anything bad, but what if you're trying to fuck in an alleyway somewhere?
What if you're with your girl and you're just like, come on, you dirty bitch.
Someone's going to stay.
And you're like, shut up.
Someone's going to stay.
Come on, baby.
Someone's going to stay.
Okay, quick.
Be quick.
Be quick.
And now you're on the government's fucking video because of that?
Because there's a little spaceship in the sky?
deadmau5
Hey, it's Erica there.
This is the government.
We've seen your boy the other day.
I think they have larger agendas.
joe rogan
You would think, but...
brian redban
You're touching the drone boners.
joe rogan
You would think, but...
deadmau5
28...
joe rogan
You would think, but 28 high school kids got arrested recently because they hired cops to pretend to be undercover.
They pretended to be high school kids.
It's like 21 fucking Jump Street.
deadmau5
But just hanging around or trying to push it?
joe rogan
No, trying to buy weed.
unidentified
Weed!
joe rogan
28 high school kids arrested in Florida for weed because cops pretended to be high school.
You would think that they would use the resources wisely, but if they could get you for sexual exposure outside, you know, especially, by the way, if you're anywhere near a school.
If you were within a certain amount of yards of a school, that's all of a sudden you're a sexual predator.
If you take a leak outside of a children's school, you piss on that school.
unidentified
Who's going to do that?
joe rogan
What if you do?
Just if by all chance.
If you're some crazy drifter, if you're an idiot, and you don't know any better, you can't find a bathroom, you walk around the back of the bathroom, there's no bathroom, I'm going to just piss on this wall.
If they arrest you for that, you're a sexual predator.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah?
joe rogan
Yeah, in a lot of places.
brian redban
If you're peeing on a kid's school...
Sex in a park.
deadmau5
That's gotta be a lot of posting notes going up around the house, you know?
Like, don't piss near a school.
joe rogan
Well, what's really crazy is when you get...
russell peters
It's too dangerous!
joe rogan
Don't piss here, you'll be fucking branded.
eddie bravo
Dude, just don't piss by the school.
Dude, trust me.
brian redban
We should be rebels tonight and just go PAO school just to do it.
joe rogan
I'm not doing it.
I'm not doing it, dude.
Especially after we talked about it on the internet.
The government is going to know.
They're going to have the drones out.
By the time they're telling you that there's drones, there's fucking...
There's already been drones here for years.
deadmau5
There's drones on a daily basis.
unidentified
What the fuck is going on?
joe rogan
I always say that about, like, cloning.
eddie bravo
Goddammit, what is going on?
joe rogan
I say by the time they talk about cloning, well, we're going to try cloning.
The guy telling you is probably a clone.
They've been cloning forever.
There's no way they're going to tell you, the common person, when they're ready to clone people.
They'll make all sorts of experiments before they let people know.
deadmau5
They probably already have.
joe rogan
Absolutely.
unidentified
Fuck.
joe rogan
I mean, if they thought that they could make an army of psychotic fucking robot flesh people, if they thought they could clone you and take out all your morality...
unidentified
They did.
deadmau5
It's a cast of glee, man.
eddie bravo
Dude, you know, how much fucking money...
joe rogan
It was their first attempt.
eddie bravo
Dude, how much money would they make if they just clone hot bitches and they just fucking sell hot bitches?
joe rogan
No, they would flood the market.
deadmau5
Oh, we can't do that.
joe rogan
No, no, no.
The real money would be.
unidentified
Didn't the ugly person would be the hot shit?
joe rogan
The money would really be in killing them off and getting a small number of them.
Would that be true, Joe?
Making them like pearls.
brian redban
Would that be true?
If they cloned all hot girls so the hot girl was more than the ugly girl?
Would the ugly girl be the hot girl then?
deadmau5
Actually she would because she would be that one unique thing.
joe rogan
She'd be a low rent sex worker.
brian redban
They did it in Sweden!
unidentified
They got this limited fucking edition one off.
joe rogan
It's Schwarzenegger's nanny.
unidentified
They did it in Sweden for like 30 or 50 years.
deadmau5
That's where the slug in the ditch came from.
It's an overdub of him saying you son of a bitch and saying you slug in a ditch and the whole fucking thing was off.
That was Arnold.
joe rogan
What were you saying, Eddie?
eddie bravo
What was I saying?
unidentified
I don't know.
deadmau5
Cloning.
joe rogan
We're running into each other a lot here.
We're having fun.
When you get marijuana and alcohol together in one room and everybody's talking shit.
Arnold Schwarzenegger's voice being reducted.
deadmau5
Yeah, but that was an interjection.
That wasn't a discussion.
eddie bravo
I forgot.
deadmau5
We were talking about cloning hot chicks.
joe rogan
Oh no, in Sweden, they did that.
brian redban
What?
eddie bravo
Eugenics.
They actually let, they would, for 30, 40, 50 years, this is where the Nazis got all their shit in Sweden.
That's why all the hot chicks come from Sweden, and good looking dudes too, if you like that shit.
They all come from Sweden.
joe rogan
There's a lot of hot chicks from all over the world, but I hear what you're saying.
eddie bravo
There's a large number that came from Sweden.
Sweden was all about what's best for the country, and they thought that based on the symmetry of your face, whether or not they should reproduce.
So if you had a baby...
They would look at the baby and they would analyze it, scientists, make sure everything was perfect.
unidentified
What, like 300 and take it to the cliffside and go, nope?
eddie bravo
They would sterilize the baby if she was in perfect symmetry.
joe rogan
Whoa, when did this happen?
eddie bravo
This is real shit, eugenics.
This is where the Nazis got all their shit from Sweden, man.
Look into it, son.
It's crazy.
That's why all the good-looking people...
joe rogan
So how long did they engineer this for?
eddie bravo
It was something like...
It was part of their country.
They convinced the entire nation that the country was above you personally.
So when you had a baby, the scientists analyzed the baby.
And if it was perfect, they would let it breed.
deadmau5
Someone's writing a script as we speak.
eddie bravo
You've never heard of this?
joe rogan
Is this real?
They really did this?
unidentified
This is real.
joe rogan
I don't know.
They really engineered this?
eddie bravo
This is good.
I mean...
deadmau5
I mean, I got a lot of free time, but...
eddie bravo
Man, in Sweden, there's a lot of good-looking people, man.
I've been there like three times, and every five minutes you see a supermodel.
deadmau5
I've seen some Mentos in Sweden.
eddie bravo
Every five years, or every five minutes, that was the timing that I thought, because everywhere I would look, I was going to try to explain it to my friends.
I'm like, the only way you could explain it is that, on average, Every five minutes you see a supermodel.
You go to McDonald's and they're all amazing.
joe rogan
Sweden's government said on Wednesday that it had commissioned a study into why eugenics was involved in the country in the 19th and 20th centuries, leading to tens of thousands being sterilized by force.
eddie bravo
I told you, man.
deadmau5
Sterilized being a euphemistic term for just killing it.
joe rogan
No, sterilized.
Sterilized.
Yeah, they clip your balls, man.
eddie bravo
And it was based on your...
joe rogan
Remove a woman's ovaries.
eddie bravo
But they did it...
Think about why they did it.
unidentified
They did it based on the shape of your face.
eddie bravo
They thought, based on the symmetry of your face, that you had good genes.
deadmau5
So one eye on the left check, one eye on the right check.
eddie bravo
If you were ugly, you were not producing.
That's the way it was.
joe rogan
This is incredible.
Listen to this.
A fundamental aim is to find out what the society that had developed this eugenics mentality and established accepted scientific research in the area looked like.
The Swedish minister said in a statement.
And this is the social philosophy of eugenics which advocates the improvement of human hereditary traits through social intervention developed in Sweden and elsewhere in Europe during the 1800s before becoming the basis for widespread racial policies in the 20th century.
That's fucking incredible.
Incredible, right?
deadmau5
So that's why Steven Jello is so good looking, man.
joe rogan
Well, that's, you know, the worst thing anybody's ever said was Hitler had a great idea, but he just took it too far.
It's like the worst thing anybody ever said.
It's one of those things where you go, whoa, whoa, whoa.
You can't fucking say that.
You can't accept any of his ideas.
It's Hitler.
But this is what they're saying.
They're saying, like, this idea that human beings had to realize that people live and people die and the right way to move the species forward is to get the best one.
deadmau5
Well, you have to remember at the time when that was employed, To the ignorance.
Well, the climate going around.
There wasn't the communication available like, you know, the internet and the politics were obviously way up for fucking scoop.
joe rogan
What they don't understand is they're right and they're wrong at the same time.
They're right as a mathematical program.
They're wrong as a species.
The species, the merit should be to whatever the rest of the species finds, you know, attractive, finds what they're drawn to, whatever they like, whether it's blonde hair and blue eyes, whatever the Aryans were doing.
deadmau5
But we're one of the only very few species Does that even fucking take that into consideration?
Whereas other species of the animal fucking kingdom would just be like...
joe rogan
They would let it go.
deadmau5
Whatever, fuck it.
joe rogan
Exactly.
The idea that we want to engineer it.
It's nonsense.
To me, it's just a massive form of control freakism, but it's based on science.
They're trying to make genetically the perfect species.
But I say that's ridiculous because it's not about that.
It's not about what looks the best, what's the most sexually attractive, what has the best...
A lot of it is about the brain.
A lot of it is about the mind and the mind's reaction to all the experiences of life and how the mind develops.
And the mind of a geek...
What, are you going to engineer all the geeks out?
You engineer all the geeks out.
deadmau5
The geeks shall fucking inherit the earth at the end of the fucking day.
joe rogan
They're on...
They're on the computer level.
They're attacking in the mental form.
The idea that you're going to eliminate the most progressive aspect of society, the people that are fluent in computer technology and creating infrastructure that this whole fucking internet runs on, the idea that you're going to eliminate them, that's silly.
That's so short-sighted.
It's so stupid.
deadmau5
We'd be like Idiocracy.
joe rogan
Well, you've engineered yourself into a corner.
Because you're attracted to broad cheeks, that's what everybody needs.
That's crazy.
eddie bravo
If that was true, if eugenics was true, maybe on a physical sense, just pure physical, not emotional, not intellectual.
joe rogan
For a worker, it would be good.
unidentified
Think about it.
joe rogan
For a sex worker.
deadmau5
Can I get a piss break?
joe rogan
Go through that door.
There's the last door on the left.
I like that you're still rocking the wallet chain.
I rock one as well.
This one today is leather, but oftentimes I wear steel.
Nice, man.
brian redban
If my girlfriend's shitting in there, just pee on her.
unidentified
Yuck.
brian redban
Nice.
joe rogan
Now we're talking.
By the way, I got to talk about this because Eddie and I were talking about this on the way over.
There's an article on some internet.
What's the matter?
deadmau5
Is she coming back out?
brian redban
Yeah, she's not really.
I think she's in the bathroom.
joe rogan
Is she really in there?
brian redban
I think so, man.
joe rogan
Don't pee on that, man.
deadmau5
I'll just wait.
I'll wait.
joe rogan
What a man.
A gentleman.
deadmau5
You can pee on her.
joe rogan
We were talking about this.
There's some article about some porn star who made, apparently, she made a million dollars going to the Middle East and having sex with really rich guys.
They're all rich, royal guys.
And she talked about it, and she had this online interview where she was talking about all the different crazy shit they would make her do, like have sex with German Shepherds, drink a glass of cum.
One of them was they showed up.
unidentified
German Shepherds?
joe rogan
They all showed up.
This is so crazy, dude.
I just read this today.
She said they showed up.
They said it was supposed to be really kinky.
They didn't know what the fuck that meant.
She's like, I've seen it all.
They're on a boat.
They show up on a yacht.
There's all these dudes that are like 50. You know, the dudes say, all right, take your clothes off, start playing with yourself.
So they all say, all right, cool.
And then guys come along and start pissing on them.
And they want them to open up their mouth.
They want to piss in their mouth.
They start shitting on girls.
And some of the girls screamed, like, fuck this.
Like, you're not going to get paid.
You can go over there and sit and wait until we pull in the dock.
This is what we do.
And so that's what they do.
And they pay these people a fuckload of money and just piss on them and shit on them.
It's like, wow!
deadmau5
You gotta consider the health risk.
eddie bravo
Damn, that's gotta be expensive.
joe rogan
Well, the urine is zero.
There's no risk.
But shit, there's a high risk.
eddie bravo
Come on, it's...
joe rogan
You can drink people's piss and it's really not.
eddie bravo
Dude, you know how much you gotta pay a bitch to shit on her?
unidentified
That's...
eddie bravo
You can't just do that for like a thousand dollars.
That's just not gonna happen.
joe rogan
It's a crazy thing of what one of the girls said.
One of the girls who was in there said that after you get shit on the third time, it's like no big deal.
unidentified
Like, damn.
joe rogan
Like, she remembers like when she became numb.
unidentified
Damn.
joe rogan
I would think...
eddie bravo
I would think it would...
joe rogan
Some trillionaire shit on her chest.
eddie bravo
Yeah, you gotta pay a bitch at least.
She's gotta be thinking like...
You know, 15, 20 grand cash.
joe rogan
Well, what this girl said was that in the article, what this girl said was that after whatever she's done over there for how long she did it, she had a million dollars in the bank and she was retiring.
She had a million dollars cash and she was done.
And she was like 28 years old or something like that.
I'm like, wow.
But she was like super honest about all the different shit they forced her to do.
And I was like, whoa.
You know, she thought she had, you know, doing porn and stuff.
She had like seen it all.
And she's like, you know, you get over there and they're making you fuck dogs.
Who's that?
unidentified
Damn.
eddie bravo
Fucking dogs must be expensive.
Come on.
That's got to be...
joe rogan
That's fucking a dog.
How much?
Well, I don't know how long this broad was over there, but she said she made a million...
That's Miles' phone, if you hear that vibrating.
He's in the bathroom.
eddie bravo
Come on.
brian redban
Russell's on his way, by the way.
eddie bravo
If you lived in Dubai and you had all the money in the world, damn, you might have to just go right big.
Well, you don't tell him about it.
You can't tell them about it.
joe rogan
Tell them about what?
eddie bravo
About they gotta fuck dogs until they get there.
joe rogan
Well, you know what I think?
I wouldn't say shit until they got there.
unidentified
You know what I think?
brian redban
They start off with cats.
joe rogan
You know what I think?
eddie bravo
You ease them into the dog.
unidentified
You can't talk about the dog in the email.
joe rogan
You can't talk about fucking the dog that quick.
brian redban
There might be some cat kissing.
eddie bravo
They gotta see the money.
You show them a pile of money.
Stacks of hundreds, and then the dog comes.
joe rogan
Well, I think what happens is they get bored.
They get bored in what they can get these girls to do.
Oh, what the fuck did I just do?
And they start ramping it up.
brian redban
We're talking about having sex with dogs.
joe rogan
We're talking about really rich dudes in the Middle East that pay.
There was a whole thing of them, like a network of them, but some girl busted it all out because she got caught with her laptop, and then the cat was out of the bag, and it turned out that a lot of these girls that were going over there to quote-unquote model We're actually going over there and they were like really famous girls like you know like you can find them on in movies and TV shows and stuff I think they just have bad fucking management you know what I mean because if you don't get those like the kind of points to find right you know no matter what the fuck it is you know if you're being paid over there to play music you
deadmau5
know I mean I've heard of like prolific DJs going out to countries you know what I mean and then they go and do the show as commissioned you know what I mean But literally, in some of these more volatile countries and shit like that, they would be like, dude, you're going to play this song, and you have to play this song, and if you don't, basically, we'll take you back and fucking fuck you up big time.
joe rogan
What?
deadmau5
Yeah.
I've heard of things.
joe rogan
They threaten dudes?
deadmau5
Oh, yeah, dude.
I even have some fucking horror stories.
joe rogan
Really?
deadmau5
Yeah.
joe rogan
What countries are the issues?
You can't talk about it?
deadmau5
With me?
No.
I don't want to disagree.
joe rogan
Have you ever heard of anybody in a country that you can talk about?
unidentified
No.
joe rogan
A specific country?
deadmau5
No, I just don't want to go there.
But I'm just saying, let's just say, a dodgy country.
Okay, a dodgy country.
You go there, and you're asked to perform and all this stuff, and say you're known for something else, too, and that's not part of what you're contracted for.
joe rogan
So if you're Jamie Walker, and they want you to say, Dino Mike!
deadmau5
Exactly.
Oh, you have to do it.
You have to fucking do it.
You know what I mean?
And they're like, dude.
And then it gets gnarly, and you can say, look, dude, this isn't in the order, the work order kind of thing.
You know what I mean?
They're like, we don't give a fuck, dude.
unidentified
Just like that.
Play Ghost and Stuff!
deadmau5
Yeah, like that.
You know what I mean?
No, it's not that bad.
I do it anyway.
But, you know, like, say that.
You know what I mean?
If I don't play Ghost and Stuff in a fucking said fucking place, you know, it gets really fucking gnarly.
And you're essentially out there on your fucking own, you know what I mean, with you and whoever you're with, your tour manager and shit like that.
So you don't exactly have a personal army to fucking back your shit up if you're, you know, being threatened to do something.
So sometimes you just...
Say, you know what?
unidentified
Fuck it.
deadmau5
Do it.
Because when you start to get in people's faces about, yo, dude, I'm done.
joe rogan
How much influence do people have?
Or do they, I should say, do they try to have when they book you for things?
deadmau5
Well, that's the funny thing.
There are kind of like two levels of the whole, at least with my experience of being a performer.
One is the gate for pay.
You know, you go, you know what you're getting into.
You go and you do it.
You just get out and that's it.
And then the other one's like, you know, you go there and then the rules change.
You know what I mean?
But there's not much like, you know, of a dictator or mediator to come in and say, you know, hey, look, this isn't in this.
And, you know, you have to like go above and beyond and all this shit.
So you're playing for these people.
You know, first and foremost, when I go to play a show, I'm there for everyone that's there.
You know what I mean?
I'm not there for the fucking dickhead who may be paying me some insane figure to fucking be there, but the dickhead who does pay you some insane figure to fucking be there is like, you know, they take that big lump or whatever and say, this is my justification for making you my bitch.
Tonight.
You know what I mean?
And this is about me and my company and how we're going to do this show.
joe rogan
So I've been to that in very low levels.
deadmau5
Yeah, exactly.
joe rogan
I've been there with clubs.
deadmau5
It happens low and high.
Yeah, we're like, dude, well, no, we just totally paid you to do this, so we own you.
But as long as you go in with the attitude, it's like, look, I'm going to go ahead and go do something extra anyway, but only because it's like, shit, dude, I see the whole first 20 rows of fucking smiley faces and they're all having fun despite all this bullshit that's going on between me and a promoter.
The thing about DJs and shit like that is that when they're starting out, you're always working for someone.
You know what I mean?
No matter what, you're going to a club, you're playing for the club owner because he's the guy that's paying your fucking bill.
joe rogan
Is there a point where you turn your name?
deadmau5
Absolutely, because it becomes your production and it's your crew and it's your production company.
Like I said, signing a deal with Live Nation was the best thing I could have done for myself because Live Nation is huge.
Yeah, I work with them.
joe rogan
I do concerts through them.
They're awesome.
deadmau5
Right, but then it becomes your show.
Yeah, exactly.
And so-and-so presents Joe fucking Rogan.
joe rogan
They're always cool.
The representatives are always really cool.
deadmau5
Yeah, and then you can always walk into a show, have a great fucking time.
joe rogan
Yeah, I get emails from random promoter dudes, and I'm like, I don't know you.
It might be great, but it could be uber sketchy, pain in the ass.
I've had those.
deadmau5
You can't get paid.
But you get to a point, too, where you can really know who's cool and not.
I have a dream team of promoters, and there are many of them, maybe 20 or 30, of dudes that I would even fucking hang with.
joe rogan
Right.
unidentified
You know what I mean?
deadmau5
And playing for those guys is always fun and great.
joe rogan
Yeah, I've got a bunch of those guys in Canada.
deadmau5
But you always get this one fucking dude, you know what I mean, who just puts in this insane offer, and of course, you know, your agency is just like, yeah, oh shit, dude, check out this fucking smash and grab.
All you have to do is this.
And then you show up, and then it's like, dude, you're my bitch, basically.
So you have to do this, you have to fucking do that, and here's your time slot, and I don't give a shit.
And then you're bummed out because of that, obviously.
But you're not bummed out because there are fuck-tons of fucking kids that came to fucking see you.
And that's the only thing that really kind of makes it all worthwhile.
joe rogan
Well, so when you get into a situation like that, what is the big toss-up over?
Is it the set list?
Is it, you know, like, this is my type of music, this is what the kids want to hear?
deadmau5
Yeah, sometimes.
It used to be.
You know what I mean?
Until I kind of made my own thing.
And that's obviously what they're buying in the first place.
So they're never going to question you on that.
But it's usually just some kind of time constraint or something where they get other acts to.
And like I said, the funnier...
The easier it gets is when you just say, you know what?
Fuck it.
Let everyone do what they want.
You know what I mean?
If fucking DJ Super Awesome wants to cut my set by 15 minutes, and then...
You know, early in your career, it's always a pissing contest and it's always like, no, no, I'm not doing it.
If that's not happening, then I'm not going on.
If they cut me this much, I'm not going on.
And you see it a lot.
You know what I mean?
But then you get to a point where it's like, all right, let them.
Let them.
You know, because you can always explain this shit.
And one of the beautiful things I find with my, you know, horde of fucking fans is that I can always just tell it how it is.
You know what I mean?
joe rogan
Well, you have the opportunity now.
Yeah.
deadmau5
I always, you know, and I kind of always tried.
I always did.
You know what I mean?
So then if everyone says, well, dude, you know, why did you get canceled at this?
And then I can just say, look, look.
joe rogan
You can make a blog entry.
Absolutely explain yourself.
You don't have to wait for a reporter to contact you.
deadmau5
And you don't got to bullshit anyone.
Yeah, you know what I mean?
You just tell it right there.
And then it's, well, listen, I really apologize, but it's because of this is why we couldn't do this.
joe rogan
Right.
deadmau5
You know, and then the more laid back you are when it comes to that stuff, and this is really good advice, especially for like, I don't want to categorize them, but like C-list guys that wanted, you know, that get put on these massive bills with like tons of fucking dudes.
You know, it's just not to be all like super...
You know, litigious and weird and antsy and just aggro in general about, you know, what time you're given.
joe rogan
Right.
deadmau5
Because, you know, the more relaxed you are about it, you know, the better.
Just get the fucking job done.
joe rogan
Dude, you're mirroring stand-up comedy.
I mean, it must be the exact same mentality in the rising comedian as it is in the rising electronic DJ. It's the same story.
It's the same thing.
You have to listen to people until everybody's coming to see you.
And then you don't have to listen to anybody anymore.
unidentified
Right.
joe rogan
It's the same thing.
deadmau5
And then it's just all out, and then it's you and them, and not you, them, and this third party.
joe rogan
And the attitude you have about doing shows with a gang of other people about, you know, your time's your time, don't worry about all that, don't be so locked up and rigid, let it go, and then just go up when you go up and do your shit.
deadmau5
Yeah, and if you don't And if something epically fucked up so bad, you can always just say.
joe rogan
Explain it.
Yeah, you explain it.
deadmau5
Look, it fucked up so bad because this fucking dickhead brought all this shit, and that's what it was.
joe rogan
There's a lot of conflict when acts tour together.
The only time I ever toured with anybody, I toured with John Heffron and Charlie Murphy.
And one time, we were all doing different...
Charlie Murphy was headlining one night, and then I would headline the next night.
And no matter what happened, Charlie Murphy never gave a fuck.
There could be some crazy...
The room could have gone on fire for half an hour.
deadmau5
But did it take you a while to learn that, though?
joe rogan
For him, no, man.
deadmau5
No, for you.
joe rogan
For me, yeah, definitely.
deadmau5
You know, it took me a while, too.
joe rogan
It took me a while to learn how to relax.
I still don't know it.
I get it, and then I lose it.
It's like sand slipping through my fingers.
deadmau5
I learned from a DJ, Nick Fanciulli, who just always said to me, he just would always say, the only thing ever out of this guy's fucking mouth was, dude, relax.
joe rogan
Yeah, he's right.
deadmau5
Yeah, he's totally fucking right.
joe rogan
He's totally right.
You know, it's just relax if you've done the work.
You know, you say relax if you're ready.
Relax if you've done the work, which you should be.
You're a fucking professional in whatever you're doing.
But yeah, I kid when I say that I don't really have control of it because I don't ever want to believe that I have control of it because I don't want to sleep.
I don't want to rest on it and let it creep up on me and burn the house down.
You know, the human mind is a very fucking tricky thing, man.
It's got to be kept on point and always on its tippy toes.
You know, but that feeling of, it's a very frustrating feeling of having somebody else trying to influence what the fuck you're trying to do.
You know, when you're coming up as a digital artist, as a comedian, I think as anything, people want to define you and they have their own ideas.
And the same thing that made you not be a good website designer, you're like, bitch, if I want to do it in blue, it's going to be blue.
unidentified
Right.
joe rogan
That's like your music, you know?
And that's how you have to be as a comedian, too, I think.
They're very much the same.
It's like in order to really get your point across, you have to have a solitary vision, you know?
eddie bravo
Do you have a crew as far as what we hear from you musically?
deadmau5
Musically?
eddie bravo
No.
deadmau5
No, musically I really like to kind of just run the show there.
But I have a crew for the show.
For the show.
Who helped me with the visuals, the technology, the cube stuff, all the LED mouse head stuff.
eddie bravo
So you program everything and come up with everything and you record everything and produce everything?
deadmau5
Musically, yes.
unidentified
Wow.
deadmau5
Yeah.
Well, it's fun, you know, like, and that's kind of what kind of got it all started for me.
You know, I didn't come out of the gate as, you know, the purveyor and awesome play button pusher of other people's work.
eddie bravo
Most of your stuff, original music or sampled half and half?
deadmau5
No, never sampled.
eddie bravo
Everything's original.
deadmau5
Yeah, I really like to do that and just keep it that way.
Just, you know, obviously for the whole like, well, we don't have to pay out fucking serious like sync fees or licensing or buying the rights to, you know, make a derivative work of something that's already been done.
That's something I like really like to avoid.
eddie bravo
So you've never sampled anything?
deadmau5
No.
Well, yeah, I have, actually.
I have sampled a couple things, but they were just little boutique tracks that never really went out and made it big.
eddie bravo
Are there any samples that you've heard in your head that you wanted to sample, but you're like, fuck, it's too much of a headache to...
deadmau5
Well, it's never a headache to do it.
It's easier to ask for forgiveness than it is permission most times.
unidentified
Really?
joe rogan
What happens when MC Hammer makes a song like, can't touch this?
deadmau5
Well, then do as fucking directed.
You can't touch it.
unidentified
Fuck.
deadmau5
That's like the ultimate anti-sample right there.
brian redban
Do you like mashups?
Do you enjoy mashups?
joe rogan
Hold on, hold on.
Answer the question.
What happens there?
Who gets the money?
deadmau5
Who gets the money?
joe rogan
If I remix, you can't touch this.
deadmau5
If I take you can't touch this and put this in the dance track and do that?
unidentified
No, no, no.
joe rogan
That's not what I'm saying.
You can't touch this is Rick James.
She's super free.
deadmau5
Well, he couldn't touch it.
eddie bravo
He's saying the same thing.
joe rogan
No, no, no.
I'm saying that track, that riff.
That's a Rick James riff.
deadmau5
That's a derivative work.
joe rogan
Completely.
Okay, so how does that work?
Rick James gets money for that, right?
deadmau5
There are some laws that would dictate that it's a cover.
As opposed to a direct sampling of the recording.
Now, these laws are still not even close to, you know, super defined.
You know, so it's always a case.
It's always a musicologist involved, especially with like Vanilla Ice's Ice Ice Baby, which was another excellent.
And his whole defense to all that was it's not...
He was like, no, it's...
I'm like, wow.
That's your defense.
unidentified
That's ridiculous.
deadmau5
There are certain things you can get away with.
There used to be a general apply rule where you could say, okay, well then fine.
No more than three seconds should be the rule.
You know what I mean?
And then it's obviously changed because people can recreate the exact same thing just as easily.
joe rogan
Tabata is like the constant.
Those songs piss me off.
You're just making me think of some cool old song that I used to like.
deadmau5
I would still just call it a remix.
You know what I mean?
It's a remix.
Remake, remix, cover, all that stuff.
I actually recently did a cover of a Radiohead song, Codex, off of The King of Limbs.
Now, the way that I did that is, you know, I'm a huge Radiohead fan.
So I kind of took it as myself as an exercise to, you know, see if I could reproduce it as close as possible, minus obviously his fucking amazing vocal and all that shit, because I can't sing for a fuck.
So, you know, I remade his track and threw it up on SoundCloud, you know, just kind of like, you know, with a huge disclaimer saying, dude, this is not theirs, this is not a remix.
Right.
joe rogan
Just an artistic exercise.
deadmau5
Replayed the whole thing as an artistic exercise.
And, you know, I don't plan on monitorizing all that.
Actually, I plan on anything was just getting, you know, fucking, yo, Tom York, what up?
You know what I mean?
So I do a lot of things like that, and I've done it with Boards of Canada, who are this Scottish group that I absolutely love.
But as long as I don't go like, hey, yeah, this is going to be on my next album.
Check it out.
And kind of sort of sell people on the vibe that, oh, this is my big thing.
This is original.
Because how many Vanilla Ice fans fucking albeit 16 to 20 years old and even knew who the fucking Eurythmics was?
You know what I mean?
joe rogan
Right.
deadmau5
So that could have been...
eddie bravo
It was David Bowie and Mick Jagger, wasn't it?
joe rogan
Under Pressure?
Queen.
It was Queen.
unidentified
Oh, fuck.
deadmau5
Yeah, that's right.
That's right.
You're with me.
I don't know what I'm thinking about.
joe rogan
Sweet dreams.
eddie bravo
It was Queen.
joe rogan
Yeah.
That's amazing.
Who the fuck gets the money for that, though?
unidentified
Well, that's...
joe rogan
Did they go to court over that?
eddie bravo
Yeah, they sit down.
brian redban
They probably got permission for that.
joe rogan
Do you remember the Verve?
You remember that song, Bittersweet Symphony?
Apparently, they lost all their money to the Rolling Stones.
eddie bravo
Of course.
They took the music.
brian redban
Without asking.
eddie bravo
Usually, in rap, it's very acceptable to sample music and then just rap over it.
But no one really has sampled music and sung over it.
So Verve was like, we're sampling shit.
joe rogan
Is that what they did?
eddie bravo
Yeah, not rap.
joe rogan
They sampled it?
They just took the Rolling Stones music?
eddie bravo
It was amazing either way.
deadmau5
I'm telling you, dude, I've had motherfuckers take whole songs of mine and not change a thing except for like a speed or a pitch of it.
And then pass it off as, hey, this is my new thing.
With no even, and oh, this is Deadmau5's track.
And you're always going to fucking get that.
You can't focus on those guys.
Dude, fucking bitch is going to fucking bite your jokes.
You know what I mean?
You're just going to get that.
joe rogan
But you know Doug Stanhope?
Do you know Doug Stanhope?
deadmau5
I don't know shit.
joe rogan
Doug Stanhope's a hilarious comedian.
And some guy was taking his bits and verbatim writing them out as if they're blog entries.
deadmau5
Like word for word.
joe rogan
Brilliant drunken ramblings on society and culture.
brian redban
Oh shit!
joe rogan
Hey, Russell P in the place to be.
deadmau5
Hey, why aren't you at the Junos?
joe rogan
My brother.
russell peters
It's Zimmerman!
brian redban
Russell Peters has just entered the building.
unidentified
With...
joe rogan
Hi, I'm Eddie.
brian redban
Hey, Eddie.
There's some...
People here, and everyone's saying hi.
russell peters
You know, your brother worked on my Christmas special.
unidentified
Oh, Chris?
russell peters
Yeah.
unidentified
No shit!
russell peters
He was a fucking grip on it.
joe rogan
Oh, sweet.
See, these Canadians, man, when they get together, all of a sudden...
deadmau5
Hey, your brother, my brother worked on his show.
joe rogan
Canadians love Canadians.
unidentified
Fuck.
deadmau5
You know what?
That guy just made my fucking day.
Because my brother, God bless him, you know, he's not successful, he's not, like, wide-known, but he really wants to get into film and television and gripping and all that stuff.
And I didn't even know he fucking did that.
And now that you said that, I gotta call my brother.
joe rogan
Russell Peters, one of the greatest humans.
deadmau5
Just totally gave you a fucking big up.
russell peters
With mice on them.
joe rogan
Russell Peters is one of the greatest humans that's ever lived.
I love this guy.
Let's keep this.
Have a beer, my brother.
russell peters
I'll drink beer, but fuck it.
joe rogan
Come on.
brian redban
Salute.
russell peters
I don't drink beer, but fuck it.
joe rogan
Salute.
deadmau5
Is there any more Coronas left?
joe rogan
Yeah, here's one.
Oh, no, it's mine.
You don't want my spit, brother.
We'll get some more.
We'll get some more for you.
eddie bravo
Give me a list of the bands that influenced you musically.
joe rogan
Russell Peters in the fucking house!
unidentified
You know why I came to?
russell peters
These two guys, Justin, Blaze and Breezy.
They're my homeboys from Brooklyn.
unidentified
He got a hard when he heard you were gonna be here.
russell peters
He's the producer too.
Blaze, that's Breezy.
joe rogan
Only two black dudes can walk in and be called Blade and Breezy and nobody freaks out.
Blazing Breezy and nobody...
Did we lose the video?
deadmau5
Dude, I had an epic black eye freakout at my house.
I'm doing renovations right now.
joe rogan
An epic black eye freakout?
deadmau5
Dude, it was fucking hilarious.
It was these...
Because I have about 16 construction workers all just kind of in and out of the house for the last six months because I'm doing a big renovation, right?
So I don't know any of them and all this stuff.
And I'm only home for like two days, right?
So they start at 9am, but no one told me this shit, right?
So the biggest fucking black dude just kind of walks in, and I don't know what to fucking, because I wasn't expecting anyone, but he was like one of the people working on the studio and stuff like that, and I just kind of stopped.
He didn't knock, he just kind of busted in like he would, because I wasn't there.
So he was supposed to do that.
And I just like kind of froze for a bit because like, dude, this dude's just walking into my fucking house.
And so I turn around.
I'm like, dude, can I help you?
And he's like, what?
Yeah, I'm supposed to be working on your place.
And then it clicked, right?
And then I was like, oh my god.
unidentified
Oh, okay.
deadmau5
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then all of a sudden, all the other fucking dudes caught on to me, you know, calling this guy, you know, as he's walking into my fucking house.
And he went, oh yeah, the big black dude fucking walks into your fucking place.
You're freaking out.
Oh, you thought he was going to rob you.
unidentified
No, no, no, no.
deadmau5
I was like, no, dude.
joe rogan
You just turned on your Canadian accent.
deadmau5
He really sounded fucking Canadian.
joe rogan
Yeah, he really did.
russell peters
Dude, I was like...
joe rogan
What?
You're talking a different black dude.
You're talking black Canadians, which are completely different guys.
russell peters
Those are Brooklyn black guys.
joe rogan
Black Canadians are the nicest people ever.
russell peters
Is this house in Canada?
joe rogan
They're like David Loazzo.
Yeah, but he was really fucked up.
deadmau5
I mean, could you imagine?
I shit you not.
I was sitting in my boxers on the fucking computer.
joe rogan
Were you ready to run or were you ready to fight?
What were you thinking?
deadmau5
I wasn't thinking nothing.
joe rogan
I was just looking at him.
deadmau5
I'm like, dude, can I help you?
russell peters
He was thinking...
unidentified
He was thinking his next beat...
He was thinking...
joe rogan
Yeah, that's a fucking freaky moment.
When anybody's in your house, you're not prepared.
Especially a big black guy.
russell peters
Was this in Canada or here?
deadmau5
Yeah, in Toronto.
russell peters
Are you in Toronto or are you in St. Cath?
deadmau5
No, Toronto.
I live in Toronto.
russell peters
Alright, don't get crazy.
Slow it down there, mouse.
deadmau5
Yo, watch out.
I live in Toronto.
russell peters
Slow it down there, angry rat.
joe rogan
Toronto's a badass city, man.
I fucking love Toronto.
unidentified
Toronto loves Joe Rogan and Eddie Bravo.
joe rogan
I did a comedy club there.
It was a pot shop, and people were allowed to smoke weed as the show was going on.
Yeah.
I don't want to say the name.
I don't want to even say where it is.
russell peters
The Rivoli.
joe rogan
You go there.
It's like a bong shop.
They take in this back room, and there's not a fan in the place.
There's no air.
There's no air.
The whole place is just...
Gray, man.
It's like you're flying through the clouds.
It was ridiculous.
russell peters
It's called Cafe Contact High.
joe rogan
It was the most ridiculous environment I've ever been a part of.
deadmau5
We know it.
russell peters
It's called Henry's Hot Box.
joe rogan
Russell Peters comes with a goddamn posse.
He's not fucking around.
russell peters
I had to roll deep.
That's Dylan Garcia.
And you know Jesus, don't you?
joe rogan
I don't know.
russell peters
Jesus Trejo.
They're both comics.
joe rogan
How you guys doing?
russell peters
Jesus is from the comedy store.
joe rogan
Nice.
Russell Peters does not travel by himself.
Do you have a tour bus or some shit?
russell peters
I don't know.
He came in two cars, fool.
deadmau5
Are you just in L.A. hanging out?
russell peters
I live here.
You live here.
joe rogan
He's Indian, man.
You don't know Russell Peters is Indian.
deadmau5
Are you on the O.1 or are you like U.S. resident?
russell peters
I thought he was Mexican.
Cardi was saying that we were going to hook up one day.
joe rogan
You have a green card and you still buy houses in America?
You're a savage.
You don't give a fuck.
If I didn't know for sure if I'd get into Canada...
russell peters
I had to buy my ex-wife a house for fuck's sake.
joe rogan
Stop it, please.
unidentified
X? X? How long?
joe rogan
When did this happen?
russell peters
How long?
joe rogan
How long?
How long you been?
russell peters
She gets the house Wednesday.
joe rogan
Wednesday.
We had a conversation about this about a year ago.
You knew it was coming.
russell peters
Yeah, come on, son.
joe rogan
We had a conversation a year ago.
Russell Peters was preparing for impact.
He was putting helmets on and shit.
russell peters
I had my head between my legs.
joe rogan
Elbow pads.
He knew it was coming.
He knew the rocks were there.
russell peters
I knew that my seat was a flotation device.
joe rogan
That boat was hitting the rocks, son.
russell peters
That's right.
joe rogan
There's no doubt about it.
Hey, it is what it is, right?
russell peters
It all worked out great.
joe rogan
It's all works.
You're Russell Peters.
You win.
russell peters
We're actually cooler now than we were when we were together.
joe rogan
That's beautiful.
She'll probably love you now.
She'll respect you that you got away from her bullshit.
Sometimes girls need that and then when they're in a situation where you cannot ever leave, like we have a child together.
There's girls that abuse guys because they're constantly in this psychological drama, this seesaw battle of putting guys on the defensive so the guy proves that he's a man.
Like, I dated a girl that always wanted to fight, and I was like, look, I can't do this anymore.
She left, and then she started dating some other dude and did the same goddamn thing.
And then I had a conversation.
deadmau5
Well, better him than you, right?
joe rogan
Exactly.
But, I mean, as a person, I liked her as a person.
I was like, what do you think's going on?
She's like, I can't help it.
I have to push a guy.
She goes, it's like, it's in me.
I don't know what it is.
I want to push him into a corner, and I want to get him to tell me to shut the fuck up.
I want to know that he's willing to walk away from me.
Otherwise, I can't respect him.
Well, you can't walk away when you have a kid.
When you get one of those crazy bitches pregnant, that's what happens.
They're stuck in a goddamn circuit loop.
russell peters
It turns out mine was only crazy because of the hormones from being pregnant and postpartum.
Oh, that's terrible.
But by that time, I had already fucking checked out, so it was too late.
deadmau5
Damn.
russell peters
But you know the ironic part?
She's a big Deadmau5 fan, and that's...
unidentified
Oh!
joe rogan
That's sad.
Well, if you know that, man, why don't you guys try to get back together again?
russell peters
No, no, because I'm not into it.
deadmau5
I'll get her tickets.
unidentified
Are you beyond the point?
eddie bravo
Are you guys friends still?
russell peters
We're cool, we're cool.
joe rogan
But you really loved her when you first met her, right?
russell peters
No, no, it was a rebound chick.
Oh, snap.
joe rogan
Honesty fills the airways with truth.
deadmau5
Hey, why aren't you at the Junos this year?
russell peters
Because they got Shatner hosting it this year.
deadmau5
I know.
russell peters
How dope is that?
joe rogan
That is still pretty cool.
russell peters
Are you there this year?
deadmau5
Yeah.
russell peters
What are you going to do?
joe rogan
What are you guys talking about?
What the fuck are you talking about?
deadmau5
Junos.
joe rogan
What is a Juno?
deadmau5
Junos is a Canadian Grammy.
joe rogan
Okay, no one knows that.
russell peters
You know, the ironic thing is he's a Jew and no one knows that.
Here's the ironic thing.
He's a Jew and I have a Junos.
Isn't that fucked up?
deadmau5
I'm only Jewish when I'm in Hollywood.
russell peters
Don't expect gold.
It's late, and I'm drinking beer, which I don't drink.
joe rogan
What did you drink?
What would you like?
Can we get him alcohol in some form?
There's only one amp.
brian redban
Hey, you're next to the alcohol.
You're next to the alcohol right there.
joe rogan
Oh, we got some stuff over there.
You don't want this Crown Royal.
Trust me, man.
This will fucking melt your tires.
russell peters
Hey, Breezy, can you hit the bar for me out there?
deadmau5
How old is that crown?
brian redban
It's pretty new.
joe rogan
It's pretty new, but I'm telling you, it's so nasty.
brian redban
Hey, Joe, you have the other stuff in there.
joe rogan
Oh, yeah, the shit that Ronda Rousey got.
brian redban
The Glendales.
joe rogan
Where is that?
russell peters
The Glendales.
What is it, Armenian?
Yeah, Armenian.
joe rogan
For real, yeah.
Man, don't make fun of Armenians, bro.
I love Armenians.
brian redban
Damn.
joe rogan
Joe just loves Armenians.
Armenians are my people.
russell peters
We're both hairy motherfuckers, so we have to respect Armenians.
joe rogan
Well, we're very similar in genome.
Italian, Indian, Armenians.
unidentified
That's right.
russell peters
We are genetically predisposed to not being follically challenged.
joe rogan
They hooked me up with some fucking badass cognac.
russell peters
Damn, that's an exo shit.
joe rogan
Cognac.
It's really good, man.
russell peters
It's really good.
joe rogan
Ronda Rousey came over, and the Armos sent this over with her.
She said, the Armenians love me, and they love when I talk good about Armenians.
So I'll talk good about Armenians the day I die.
When a grown man buys me a bottle of Courvoisier, he got me.
russell peters
You will choke a Turk out for an Armenian.
unidentified
What is that?
Is it cognac?
joe rogan
Whatever.
It's some badass drink.
russell peters
It's XO. It's the good shit.
It's the good shit.
joe rogan
What is it?
What kind of an alcohol is that?
russell peters
It's Martel Cognac.
It's the XO, though.
So that's the good stuff.
joe rogan
It is pretty fucking good.
russell peters
You can tell by how fancy the bottle is.
joe rogan
I was about to drink out of this, Brian, until I saw goddamn pot crumbs in there.
brian redban
You did that.
Son of a bitch.
I've watched you do it.
joe rogan
How dare you?
How dare you?
Oh, it's this stack.
It was the wrong stack.
I thought you threw some shit in my clean stack.
unidentified
No.
joe rogan
Because I looked at the stack.
I'm like, your stack's clean.
brian redban
You asked weed into that.
joe rogan
A thousand apologies.
brian redban
Do you like mashups?
Do you enjoy when people do videos?
deadmau5
I like it when people that don't do it, do it.
I don't like people that shouldn't do it, do it.
I hate that.
brian redban
Do you enjoy Party Ben, Girl Talk, or any of those guys?
russell peters
Girl Talk's not a fucking DJ. Hold on a second.
joe rogan
This guy, by the way, you should have been here earlier because he completely mirrors your sentiments on the whole DJ. What is the definition of DJ? He's an electronic artist.
russell peters
Yeah, that's how I look at you.
joe rogan
Russell's a discs guy.
russell peters
You know that, right?
joe rogan
He's a DJ. Do you know that?
deadmau5
Do I know what?
russell peters
That I've been DJing since 85. Have you really?
joe rogan
Back in the day.
deadmau5
Back in the Wolfman Jack days.
russell peters
He's really good.
I was on the radio back in the day.
Me and Mastermind, we had the hip-hop show.
deadmau5
No shit!
russell peters
On energy, 108. We had the hip-hop show and I was the DJ in the background.
deadmau5
You know Williams, Wayne Williams.
russell peters
Oh, he was horrible.
He's a horrible human.
No, no, I'm good, I'm good, thanks.
deadmau5
I'll gun it.
russell peters
Yeah, go for it.
Breezy's going to get me a drink.
Do you want some cognac?
You want some cognac?
deadmau5
Cheers, guys.
This is cognac.
russell peters
Yeah, because you're from...
joe rogan
Oh, Jesus.
unidentified
God.
russell peters
Fuck!
deadmau5
That's weird.
joe rogan
Woo!
You know what?
I love the occasional Jimi Hendrix mashup.
The Jay-Z Jimi Hendrix mashup of Girl Problems and Voodoo Child.
That is the shit.
deadmau5
Well, my favorite mashup was the Grey album.
joe rogan
Oh, yeah.
russell peters
That was great as well.
deadmau5
All-time favorite mashup.
joe rogan
That was great as well.
brian redban
I agree.
deadmau5
You know, mashups can be done in such an artistic way that it's fucking cool.
russell peters
What about Bed-Stuy meets Blue Eyes?
joe rogan
No.
deadmau5
It depends on how it's done.
joe rogan
That was not bad.
That was not bad.
Anything with Biggie.
I love anything with Biggie.
I'm such a big Biggie fan.
russell peters
See, but when I was growing up, they weren't called mashups.
They were just called mixes.
brian redban
Right.
russell peters
It was like growing up, you would take whatever fucking acapella record they had because it was hard to get acapellas back then.
So if a record had an acapella, you would fuck with it with however many beats you could find that would match that acapella.
Like I would play Sweetheart by Rainy Davis.
And I would find as many fucking beats that would go with Sweetheart back in the day.
And you would try and change them as fast as you could.
And that was the challenge because you'd have to dig the record out, cue it up, and you didn't have the fucking BPMs in front of you.
There was no sync button.
deadmau5
It's too susceptible to train wrecking, though.
That's the problem with mash-ups.
You know what I mean?
You could totally just mash something up and it sounds like shit.
joe rogan
There's very few people who have a perception of music the way he does.
It's almost creepy.
Like, you have a smell that I don't have.
russell peters
I am a creeper.
joe rogan
We played music.
We played some music.
And he goes, oh, there's Salt-N-Pepa in there.
There's Salt-N-Pepa.
And we're like, what the fuck are you talking about?
We had to listen to it like a hundred times and break it down.
He's like, stop this spot right here.
And we're like, oh, yeah, wow.
What the fuck?
How did you even pick that out, man?
russell peters
Like, if you sampled a snare, I'd probably be able to go, I know where that snare is from.
joe rogan
Yeah, he'll call the song.
It's really bizarre, man.
It's a weird trait.
deadmau5
It's still prevailing in music today, even, with even the latest and greatest electronic music, because you hear this one little sample or snare or something like that, and it's off another dude's shit.
unidentified
Right.
joe rogan
You know what I mean?
deadmau5
And you can pick it out.
So that's kind of when I stop fucking listening to music.
Because I find that I'm analyzing.
It's like, where did he get that?
joe rogan
Instead of just enjoying it?
deadmau5
Because Homeboy wasn't in the back fucking hitting a snare on a mic.
You know what I mean?
It's just incestual ripping.
eddie bravo
It doesn't matter.
You can rip anything you want.
joe rogan
As long as it's good, right?
eddie bravo
If you have the talent to put together the melodies that are magical and resonate with the planet, that's the talent, right?
Whether you rip it off, whether you sample it, can you put together this unique little piece of art that's going to resonate with the world?
joe rogan
It doesn't work that way with comedy, doesn't it, Russell P? There's a couple of comics who do the collage, the best of shows.
russell peters
It's not their best of.
joe rogan
Our business has a different code.
deadmau5
Take my wife, please.
joe rogan
You gotta come up with your own riffs.
russell peters
Yeah, it's pretty awful.
And it's not getting any better out there.
joe rogan
Well, it is, and it isn't.
russell peters
You know what the fucked up thing is?
joe rogan
It comes in cycles, I think.
russell peters
Do you ever write a great joke, and then you think, there's no way nobody did that?
joe rogan
Absolutely.
russell peters
I fucking think of jokes, and I'm so happy with it.
And then as soon as I get happy with it, I go, I'm sure some fucking guy said that already.
Of course.
joe rogan
Well, you know, I had a bit that was on one of my CDs and I didn't find out until like four years later that Ellen DeGeneres had a bit just like that.
russell peters
I did that in a special I did in 97. I did a joke about throwing a fucking chocolate bar into a swimming pool.
Or into a toilet.
Or just mashing it up.
I can't remember the fuck.
It was horrible.
And then Howie Mandel was like, you know, I did that, right?
I'm like, son of a bitch.
And it was worse because Howie did it and Howie and I are friends and he's Canadian.
So it was like, it looks like I stole from my own fucking people.
joe rogan
Well, the only thing you don't have to worry about with Howie is he's not going to kick your ass because he won't touch you.
russell peters
Yeah, it's true.
joe rogan
He's terrified of touching people.
russell peters
It's true.
joe rogan
So you can be like, what, bitch?
What are you going to do?
russell peters
Fucking shake my hand?
joe rogan
Just start sneezing.
Ah, two!
He'll just run away from you, man.
You never have to worry about him kicking your ass.
He won't even shake your hand.
eddie bravo
Have we talked about Anonymous on the show yet?
deadmau5
What if him and Howie Mandel met up?
joe rogan
Oh, look at you.
russell peters
It's like watching you DJ right now.
joe rogan
How dare you.
I think that's cool.
Keep that on.
brian redban
How dare you?
What are you talking about, Joe?
We love Anonymous.
We love 4chan.
We love everyone.
That's why I said it's cool.
russell peters
What's Anonymous?
I don't know about Anonymous.
deadmau5
I'm just writing this shit so they don't take my website down.
joe rogan
He's an English historian.
deadmau5
I paid a lot for that.com.
I need to see it get it taken down.
brian redban
Hey, digital mafia rules.
joe rogan
Well, it's mostly like young hacker kids, right?
I mean, what is anonymous?
I like what you said.
deadmau5
Anonymous is about like fucking 12 dudes.
brian redban
Exactly, exactly.
eddie bravo
They've done some crazy shit lately.
I've been reading your Anon news, and I'm like reading some historical shit.
I'm like, we just knocked down Syria's fucking government website.
I'm like, did they really do that?
joe rogan
Yeah, they can do that.
russell peters
Oh, yeah.
joe rogan
Well, this is how it works, man.
In real simple terms, every website is on servers, and every server can only take so many hits at the same time.
russell peters
Can I just say that I'm excited that Eddie Bravo's here?
joe rogan
It's in the house.
russell peters
I know.
joe rogan
I'm excited about that.
unidentified
Joe, you know what sucks, though, is that I... Yeah, but not like your level.
brian redban
I recently got hacked by Xbox.
russell peters
As a guy, I'm like...
joe rogan
You mean on Xbox?
brian redban
Your Xbox account got hacked?
My account on Xbox got hacked.
joe rogan
Right.
brian redban
And what sucks is that a lot of people are getting hacked on Xbox.
And instead of Sony PlayStation who announced it to everybody, like, hey, we got hacked and blah, blah, blah.
Xbox is covering the shit up.
And if you go on Twitter, I said I got hacked.
And all these people are like, so did I, so did I, so did I, so did I. And then you go to Kotaku and Joystick, and they're like, yeah.
What they're doing is...
In Poland, people are...
They're hacking Xboxes, and then they're fucking adding all these charges.
They're getting all these gamer points.
And then using EA has for Fifi soccer.
They have these things that they can exchange points for these game cards, like baseball cards or whatever.
But there's this whole thing going on.
And the crazy thing is that I told Xbox, and I'm like, hey, I got hacked.
And they're making this huge, like, I can't go online right now.
I can't do anything right now.
You can't go online?
No.
joe rogan
You mean with Xbox?
brian redban
Xbox.
But listen to this.
I told them three days ago I got hacked, and I'm still getting charges on my checking account.
People are still charging, charging, charging, charging.
And I told Xbox, I'm like, hey, stop.
Take my PayPal.
Take my Visa.
Take everything off my account.
joe rogan
Take my money.
brian redban
And they won't do it.
joe rogan
Why?
brian redban
Because they want to research where the money's coming from.
So they're using my money.
They're using my money as a research tool.
russell peters
Are they going to reimburse you?
brian redban
I'm sure they will, but they're not going to reimburse all the bills that are bouncing right now.
Fuck you, Xbox.
unidentified
Oh.
joe rogan
That was a strong statement.
And you said it like you ran out of breath, too.
It was like you reached the end of your life.
deadmau5
You're really playing on the odds that one out of the ten fucking anon...
Don't work for fucking Xbox.
unidentified
I know.
brian redban
I know.
deadmau5
That's risky.
I wouldn't double down on that.
brian redban
You're right.
I know.
Exactly.
There's an inside job going on in Xbox.
joe rogan
You think so?
You think someone on the inside is jacking people?
russell peters
Speaking of my ex's box, she's moving on.
Oh!
Too soon.
joe rogan
Russell Peters, stand-up comedian.
brian redban
Here's the beautiful thing about Anonymous.
russell peters
I did two shows and I'm drunk.
What do you want from me?
unidentified
My Ex's Box.
joe rogan
Beautiful.
I love it.
I wouldn't want nothing else.
brian redban
You're perfect.
joe rogan
Don't change.
brian redban
The beautiful thing about Anonymous is that everything's anonymous.
Just like Fight Club, there's people working at Ex's Box.
deadmau5
So what, are we supposed not to fucking talk about it then?
joe rogan
Occasionally people are going to get arrested.
The beauty of Anonymous is what it represents is the future of government.
That's what it represents.
The government is going to be the will of the people.
unidentified
Oh, awesome.
deadmau5
The government is going to be, what, 10 dudes fucking who really know security.
unidentified
Oh, that's great, because I know 10 dudes who are really into politics.
joe rogan
That's not what I'm saying.
It represents the will of the people.
When they're doing something, when they're taking down a government website because of the National Defense Authorization Act, what they're doing is they're essentially making a stand for the people.
They're saying, listen, the internet does not like this.
brian redban
Right.
joe rogan
The internet gets behind it, and then you see bills like SOPA get taken down, you go, whoa, the internet has a say.
The internet has a say.
And there's people that are extremists on the internet, and that's what anonymous is.
They're the craziest soldiers at the front of the line that are willing to do nutty shit, like take down the CIA website.
Is it 100,000 people?
It doesn't have to be.
It could be three.
It doesn't matter.
What they represent as anonymous individuals are the will of the entire group on the internet.
They don't do shit that people hate.
Anonymous is never doing shit that people are really mad at.
deadmau5
No.
joe rogan
Have you ever noticed?
They get creepy and they put, you know, they call themselves anonymous, they'll get people's personal information online.
That's them douchebags.
But the reality of the ethics behind the group is that they're trying to take down corruption.
They're trying to step in and stop shit.
They're trying to pick up where WikiLeaks got tripped up because there was a public figure.
deadmau5
Right, but at what point do you think that they'll kind of curb that as not to become the dictators themselves?
joe rogan
Who is they?
That's the issue.
The issue is who is they.
As long as there's no true organization and it really does represent the people, then the internet will be truly democratic.
Yes and no.
eddie bravo
You're saying they may become evil.
Right now they're doing...
joe rogan
Right, right, right.
deadmau5
And then all of a sudden, okay, so fine.
So let's take Anon, right?
And let's put him in power.
joe rogan
No, well, no one's saying that.
The idea is that no one's in power.
The idea is we've got to get to a certain point in time, we realize it's a global government.
brian redban
I think we should have Anonymous' power.
We should have the internet be power.
We should have voting online.
We should have everything.
joe rogan
The internet is a global government.
deadmau5
The internet is a global government.
So it only takes three or four fucking dudes to go and change a ballot.
brian redban
I get that.
joe rogan
Well, that's true, but who are those three or four dudes?
We gotta eliminate the fact that there can ever be three or four dudes that have access to anything.
brian redban
We have to kill those three dudes.
joe rogan
That's what we have to do.
There can never be three or four dudes that have access to anything.
It has to be all transparent.
Once it becomes transparent, then you can't steal.
Then you can't lie.
It's going to be really simple.
brian redban
Internet 2.0, right?
joe rogan
You know what it is, man?
We're all moving into a certain direction where there's going to be no secrets.
It's really clear.
deadmau5
The geek shall inherit the earth.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
The information is going to take over.
And all your ideas about wanting to have privacy, all that bullshit is going to go bye-bye, son.
deadmau5
Yeah, it's going to be great, but who's watching the information?
joe rogan
There's going to be no one watching it, man.
Everyone's going to have access to it.
Ultimately, it'll be complete and total transparency.
deadmau5
Cheers, buddy.
joe rogan
And I don't know if that's good, but it's coming.
brian redban
It's all math.
joe rogan
What?
russell peters
Meezy.
unidentified
Fuck that.
joe rogan
Fuck that.
russell peters
Are you kidding, dude?
I don't hear it.
joe rogan
What's that?
deadmau5
I can't take that kind of responsibility.
eddie bravo
Does anybody call you D-Measy?
deadmau5
Dead Mizzle Fizzle?
eddie bravo
Not D-Measy?
deadmau5
D-Measy?
No.
russell peters
Hey, so where are you DJing?
deadmau5
That's a new one.
joe rogan
Eddie's got a new pet name for you.
If you get drunk enough to give me your phone number, that's what's going to be on his phone.
deadmau5
I'm drunk enough.
eddie bravo
Can I get into my DJ? No, I'm kidding.
deadmau5
No, no, no.
unidentified
What are we at?
deadmau5
We had a shot of Crown, a shot of Arminian Special 99, and then Cognac.
joe rogan
Yeah, I'm sorry.
What'd you say?
russell peters
I don't think my mic's on first.
brian redban
Yeah, it's sounding weird.
No, it's not.
joe rogan
It sounds weird.
deadmau5
We cut you out.
russell peters
Sorry, dude.
brian redban
No, it's on.
joe rogan
It's on.
russell peters
Fucking Redband muted me.
brian redban
No, I didn't.
russell peters
Is that what it is?
deadmau5
Redband hammer.
russell peters
I think Redband just started a brown band.
joe rogan
A brown band.
Do you get it?
unidentified
Come on!
brian redban
Is this thing on?
unidentified
Are you a conspiracy theorist at all?
russell peters
Me?
Fucking totally.
eddie bravo
Deem easy?
No, deem easy.
unidentified
Oh, me?
deadmau5
A conspiracy theorist.
eddie bravo
Not really?
deadmau5
No, not really.
eddie bravo
You are?
deadmau5
I'll buy into this and that, but no.
russell peters
Not all of it.
Not 100%.
All of it!
eddie bravo
You gotta be into all of it or none of it.
russell peters
I question a lot of things.
joe rogan
Like what?
Namely?
russell peters
The moon landing.
I don't fucking trust one single bit.
deadmau5
Are you serious?
russell peters
Yeah.
Not one bit.
Do I trust that moon landing?
deadmau5
Because?
russell peters
Because I met...
I think I said this once before on one of the podcasts.
joe rogan
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
deadmau5
Did you see how emotionally upset Neil Armstrong got?
joe rogan
Stop right there.
The only way that's going to work is if we were talking about something as crazy as the moon landing.
russell peters
It's like if I told Tiesto he's not a DJ and he got upset, I'd be like, motherfucker, you're not a DJ. You put in a mixtape and you got AIDS. I mean...
unidentified
Oh!
joe rogan
He hit him with the AIDS! Not the AIDS! Listen, here's the thing.
Whenever someone says something as crazy...
deadmau5
Life gives you AIDS, make lemonade.
joe rogan
If someone says something as crazy as the moon landing didn't happen, you gotta let them talk without interrupting with some fucking emotional shit about Neil Armstrong.
You gotta let them talk.
russell peters
I have reasons for this now.
Okay.
Because I wanted to believe that we went to the moon because I'm a big nerd for...
Space shit and like I watch all the Hubble footage and all the shit they send out and it excites me to think that there's other shit out there.
And when you look at the space race, first of all, it was against Russia at that time and they were trying to beat somebody to somewhere, right?
brian redban
Right.
It was a race.
Right.
russell peters
It was exactly a race.
And then I met these two Indian kids after one of my shows in Houston.
They were basically rocket scientists.
They were studying astrophysicists.
deadmau5
They were studying the people who studied the show?
russell peters
They were studying those two people.
They were astrophysicists is what they were.
And I had a watch on that I had bought because I'm a fucking donkey.
Not this one, but I had a watch on that allegedly the face of the watch was made out of moon rock.
unidentified
Yeah.
russell peters
And it was a limited piece and all kinds of horseshoots.
deadmau5
Well, it must be if it's only fucking from the moon.
brian redban
Right.
joe rogan
Well, it's like a crumb.
One crumb.
russell peters
Yeah, basically.
And then they smudged it and whatever.
Anyway, so I was like, hey, so have we been to the moon?
And this chick was like, no reason to lie to me whatsoever.
joe rogan
Right.
russell peters
And she was like, they said we have.
And I'm like, what does that mean?
And she goes, they said we have.
And I go, well, I don't know what that means.
They said we have.
I go, is it possible that we've been to the moon?
She goes, it's not possible that we've been to the moon.
I go, what do you mean it's not possible?
She goes, it's impossible to go to the moon because we can't get past the radiation belt.
We can't build a suit that will protect humans from that radiation without their skin falling off.
deadmau5
With the radiation on the moon.
russell peters
No, the Van Allen radiation belt between the moon and that 700...
joe rogan
See, I'm no radiation expert, but I've heard it argued that you never pass through the belt, and in fact the belt is like a donut, and there's a hole in the center, and if you pass through, you can do that.
My issue with it, my number one issue is that they never did anything to test.
They never even sent a chicken into space to see if it comes back alive.
No monkeys went into space and then landed.
russell peters
Yeah, the Russians sent a monkey, right?
joe rogan
No one knew.
There was extreme radiation out there.
In fact, there's a thing called Operation Starfish Prime where they actually detonated a nuclear bomb in the magnetosphere because they were trying to punch a hole through it.
I don't know what to believe.
They made it way more radioactive.
They made the Van Allen radiation belts more charged.
It doesn't mean they still, if it is a donut shape, apparently you can fly through it, but I would have liked to have seen someone do it in a monkey or something before they start sending people slingshot around the fucking wound.
russell peters
There's all that.
And then I had my iPhone in my hand.
She goes, your iPhone has more technology than the entire room in NASA did back then.
joe rogan
That's true.
But that doesn't mean that they couldn't make ample calculations.
Even though what your iPhone is doing is interacting with graphic user interfaces.
There's a lot of processing going around.
There's signals it's picking up.
There's a lot of shit going on with that.
They didn't have to do all that.
All they had was numbers.
russell peters
Well, there was the number, so they can physically calculate it.
deadmau5
Well, yeah, I mean, because all the equipment they had during the space launch was the equivalent of that, of like 1 16th of an iPhone, like, in the whole facility.
joe rogan
Not even that.
It wasn't even that.
By the way, it doesn't matter.
They still could have done it.
Because they did do it without people, for sure.
russell peters
Right, no, no.
So, you know, we can send shit into space, we just can't send humans into space.
joe rogan
Well, that's the real question, is there's really been no evidence they were able to take biological life into space and return it.
There's been no evidence of that, and there has been evidence that they really absolutely can't predict solar flares and all kinds of crazy shit that happens.
Storms flare up.
russell peters
Yeah, they more report on them than predict them.
joe rogan
A lot of people believe that people did land on the moon, but that they faked a lot of the footage.
And one of the reasons for that is they did fake a lot of footage at NASA. Like there was some footage from Gemini missions where they were practiced, clearly the same images, exact same images and practiced pictures, you know, where they're like wearing suits and hung by wires.
And then they blacked those pictures out, the publicity people did, and said, ah, these people won't know any better.
You know, it was a time of really extreme ignorance.
You know, people didn't have access to information.
And so there's photos of Collins and Michael Collins, and he's on one of the Gemini missions.
He's on this fucking rig, and it looks like he's in deep space.
Well, the exact same photo is him on a practice run, hanging by wires.
It's just someone got overzealous and they said, look, here's a perfect picture.
Why ruin it?
Let's just put it in space and tell people it was there.
It's not like the guy didn't go to space.
He absolutely did.
Just they might not have been able to take such good fucking pictures up there.
And so they faked a lot of shit.
And so that makes the whole thing fuzzy.
Because you look at it and you go, something's wrong, man.
Something's wrong.
What the fuck is wrong?
There's some shit here that's wrong.
The reason why is I think a bunch of the shit we're looking at probably was taking place in a studio.
A lot of the photographs were probably horseshit.
It doesn't mean they didn't go.
deadmau5
I don't mean to totally derail and debunk the whole fucking thing, but whether they did or whether they didn't, Does it really matter?
joe rogan
It does.
It totally matters.
Shit!
unidentified
Shit!
joe rogan
It absolutely matters because we want to find out if it's possible to pull off a hoax of that magnitude.
You know, if you look about what the United States has been capable of doing as far as, like, getting us into wars, under false pretenses, all the corruption, all the bullshit, you wonder how far it is possible to take it.
We know it's possible to create war.
Arguably, that's way crazy.
We got that.
Arguably, that's way crazier than putting someone on the moon.
Arguably, letting people, you know, figuring out how to trick a gigantic chunk of people to going to another part of the world and kill people for you seems to be, if you're going to fake that, you're going to fake an operation to get into that, you're going to bullshit your way into that, it seems like the moon landing is like nothing.
It's nothing in comparison.
russell peters
Yeah, because you can't prove it.
deadmau5
I didn't even see this shit coming when I came here today.
russell peters
See?
Yeah.
deadmau5
Honestly, moon landing shit, was it real?
Was it not?
It was not in the back of my mind.
joe rogan
Yeah, it wasn't in mine, but I forgot that Russell's a moon guy.
Look, I've argued with people and I absolutely don't know.
I don't know.
I don't believe...
eddie bravo
Joe, Joe, you were totally down for...
You were the moon hoax crusader.
Did I mean something?
joe rogan
No, no, no, no.
unidentified
What happened?
joe rogan
Listen, listen, man.
Here's my issue.
My issue is how can I even argue it?
How is it possible that I even have points?
Joe, let's go to the moon.
russell peters
You see Breezy right there?
He took fucking all his shit from school.
joe rogan
I hope someone did go to the moon.
I hope someone did.
I really do.
I don't know if they didn't.
But I do know that it's weird that it's the only time in human history where people have been more than 400 feet above the Earth's surface.
No other space shuttle mission.
No other space station mission.
Nothing goes any higher than that.
That's it.
But they went 260,000 miles out and then returned to Earth.
russell peters
Man!
joe rogan
When they did in 1969 to 1972, they never fucked it up once.
deadmau5
A bit of a head fuck.
eddie bravo
We can't do it now.
joe rogan
We haven't done it since.
It's a bit of a head fuck.
eddie bravo
We can't do it now.
deadmau5
Now when they talk about going to the moon, George W. Bush would say, we're going to Why don't we just release a 2K13 edition of Going to the Moon and Back?
russell peters
Why don't you do a remit?
joe rogan
First of all, they say our technology is much more improved now, so they would have to reinvent.
Oh, so it should be fucking easier!
You would say so.
They can't use the Saturn V rockets, though, because that's like an old model.
They don't want to just recreate what worked in the 60s.
They want to apply modern technology, and apparently it's too expensive.
deadmau5
Oh, and now modern technology is too fucked up.
joe rogan
I'm playing devil's advocate to the extreme here.
I don't know what the fuck happened.
deadmau5
Hey, I wouldn't mind being the first fucking artist to perform on the moon.
joe rogan
It would be pretty dope if we could actually go to the moon if it was safe.
russell peters
Let's not do that to the aliens.
joe rogan
Have you seen the photos that they had?
That they had a lunar rover orbiter that took photos, whatever the fuck it was.
Lunar reconnaissance orbiter.
No, they took photos of the moon and they showed like the little spots where the astronauts were walking like their footprints.
russell peters
Yeah, like the footprints have been fucking blown away in 50, 45 years.
joe rogan
It looks fake as fuck.
Like what?
The footprints are still there?
Shut up!
Shut up!
deadmau5
I wish to remain agnostic to the whole...
joe rogan
I do too.
I would think it would be hilarious, though, even if we actually did go to the moon, if some overzealous NASA fucking freak said, listen, these hoaxers, we're going to fucking show them.
deadmau5
No, they've got to get a nonpartisan.
joe rogan
Yeah, a third party.
It's got to be a third party.
But it can't be a third party because they won't let anybody go anywhere near the moon sites.
They've declared a ban on flyovers of all the moon sites.
This is true because they don't want to disturb the area.
This is absolutely true.
Obama's passed this.
deadmau5
What's to prevent someone from taking a picture of that epic landing spot?
joe rogan
You can't go there.
You can't fly over and take a picture.
russell peters
Doesn't that seem fucking over and take a picture?
Doesn't that seem suspect a little bit?
joe rogan
It does a little bit.
I've argued with it.
I don't...
I've argued with it.
I've argued with this guy Phil Plait from badastronomy.com and he's a great guy and I really wish I didn't have to argue with him because I love so much of the shit he says.
I love his speeches.
He did a TED talk on asteroids.
It was fucking awesome.
russell peters
What did Michio Katsu say about it?
joe rogan
Here's the problem with me.
They're so proud about it, man.
I didn't talk to him about it.
unidentified
That guy's an idiot.
joe rogan
No, he's not.
How funny is that?
How funny is that?
One of the greatest fucking theoretical physicists in the world.
You guys are an idiot.
That's awesome.
That was awesome.
You know, I think it's...
deadmau5
My manager, fucking guy, just fucking texting me right now.
He's like, dude, you remember we got the Grammys tomorrow at night?
I'm like, dude, I got it.
We good.
joe rogan
Is he and the guy on the couch texted you?
deadmau5
Yeah, fucking guy.
joe rogan
He's going to text you while the show's going on?
deadmau5
You can actually come over here and fucking tap me on the shoulder.
joe rogan
How dare he?
deadmau5
But I'm going to text him back.
joe rogan
Just tell him to go to sleep.
deadmau5
I'm good.
russell peters
Way to go, Captain Corporate.
deadmau5
Thanks, Dean.
joe rogan
Isn't it funny?
You have, like, some babysitter.
deadmau5
I do.
I can't go anywhere without him.
Well, I can.
joe rogan
That's ridiculous.
russell peters
You're skinny enough to not have to worry about looking puffy in the morning.
deadmau5
Right?
joe rogan
Why are you worried about this?
Tell that guy to go to sleep.
This is ridiculous.
russell peters
We sat two hot chicks beside him.
joe rogan
Does your manager normally do this?
deadmau5
Dean, come here, come here.
joe rogan
Dean, this is ridiculous behavior.
deadmau5
No, Dean, come here right now.
joe rogan
That was my manager.
I'd be like, you know how to call a cab.
The fuck, bro?
deadmau5
He doesn't want to come over.
russell peters
Hey, you know, Joe, you see that guy Breezy?
He's really smart with his fucking space shit.
deadmau5
Dean, come here.
joe rogan
Dean, come here.
deadmau5
Fuck Dean.
Unless you want me to like drastically negotiate my management contract, I really think it's in your best interest that you come here.
Come here.
russell peters
Dean.
deadmau5
Dean.
joe rogan
Dean, I think he's pulling an alpha move on you.
deadmau5
Diamond rings.
That's this guy right here.
Come on.
Dean, come on.
Oh, he can talk from there.
joe rogan
Dean has an English accent.
Did you find him in Liverpool?
deadmau5
No, actually, I found him in Kent.
russell peters
Don't call him a Kent.
joe rogan
Kent.
russell peters
Oi, Dean, you fucking Kent.
joe rogan
There's no cooler accent in the world than English.
In my opinion, those Guy Ritchie movies, I fucking love those movies.
russell peters
They get the ghetto white people.
He's such a character.
deadmau5
Do you have that camera?
Does that detach off that iPod?
joe rogan
I wish that Guy Ritchie made a movie a year.
I would be very happy.
deadmau5
You see that guy on the couch over there on the right?
brian redban
Yeah, I do see it.
Well, do a night vision.
deadmau5
No, no, just pan it over.
eddie bravo
He doesn't want to be on, dude.
joe rogan
He doesn't want to be on.
unidentified
Let's just leave.
deadmau5
I don't give a shit.
joe rogan
Why are you so into having him be on?
eddie bravo
No more alcohol for dead easy.
deadmau5
There he is.
Right there.
eddie bravo
He's done.
deadmau5
Right there.
eddie bravo
You're like Eddie Van Halen on the Howard Stern show.
deadmau5
You know what Dean says?
joe rogan
Dean, just let this be a lesson to not be texting him and telling him what to do.
deadmau5
He says, hey, we got to be out of here at 9 in the morning.
So don't get too wasted.
russell peters
What are you going to do at 9 in the morning?
What time are the Grammys?
deadmau5
The Grammys are, well, for me, they're at 9 in the morning because I got to go do another run through with the Foo Fighters.
russell peters
Are you doing shit for me?
joe rogan
Yeah, but dude, it's only 140. What's the hurry?
unidentified
I know.
brian redban
I got it.
deadmau5
I got it.
joe rogan
Yeah, this is ridiculous.
russell peters
When did you get to town?
deadmau5
I've been doing this for a while.
I know how to hit a space bar.
russell peters
Yeah.
deadmau5
I really do.
russell peters
It's not like he's fucking typing shit up.
joe rogan
He can't fucking die.
deadmau5
He knows.
joe rogan
Yeah, no, no, it's really cool.
deadmau5
We're doing this, like, really crazy cool shit with the Foo Fighters, which is amazing.
Because they basically gave me, like, you know when you go to a hotel and you get, like, a shit fucking afternight, like, service menu?
russell peters
Yes.
deadmau5
Or margarita?
russell peters
Or a tuna melt.
deadmau5
Yeah, or something bullshit.
You know what I mean?
That's kind of what they offered me.
And at the end of the day, there was something I really wanted.
And they said, well, in order to perform on the Grammys, you have to perform with someone who's also nominated and all that stuff.
And the Foo Fighters were.
And I had recently done a remix for the Foo Fighters.
Oh shit, this is my saving grace.
I don't have to get pigeonholed with this EDM segregation from the Grammys.
Because it's still early according to pop culture and the United States and all that stuff.
russell peters
Since it's been around since the 80s.
deadmau5
Yeah, so it's always going to be that sideshow thing and a tent outside of the big main show.
And they were like, well, who do you want to perform with?
And here's your list of options.
So it's like the late night room service menu.
Oh.
I don't know what I want.
You know, but I had done a collaboration with the Fuse in the past.
joe rogan
The Fuse.
Is that what you call the Foo Fighters?
The Fuse?
russell peters
It's the Fuse Spiders.
joe rogan
Are you like really deep inside in the music world that you can call them the Fuse?
brian redban
What do you mean?
unidentified
The Fuse.
joe rogan
When you're really in, it's like Foos Baby.
brian redban
He really is.
joe rogan
Foos Baby.
Let me call you.
Can I call you guys Foos?
You were dramatic tonight.
You nailed it.
brian redban
Yeah, he's definitely top five.
joe rogan
You knocked it out of the park.
deadmau5
The whole Dave thing was cool.
And we had done this really big, long European run where basically the rock group is playing across the stage from where I was playing at the same time.
So, of course, Dave's always like, oh, fuck computers and all this.
And this is real rock.
And then, you know, they play and then I'd be playing at the same time and all this stuff.
joe rogan
Wait a minute, like you were competing against each other?
deadmau5
Yeah, yeah, pretty much, pretty much.
joe rogan
And how big is this place where you're playing in?
deadmau5
Oh, Pooka Pop was about 160,000 strong.
joe rogan
Okay, so there's competing signals?
So there's like, your sound is coming from one side?
deadmau5
One side of the stage and his from the other.
Yeah, but it was absolutely amazing and it was such a tear up.
russell peters
That's crazy.
deadmau5
You know, because the EDM thing and the whole movement.
joe rogan
The what thing?
deadmau5
EDM, electronic dance music, I guess what the kids like to call it these days.
russell peters
We used to call it Euro trash back in the day.
deadmau5
Right?
Well, no, we still do.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
How did it evolve in Europe?
What happened then?
russell peters
Well, it started, house music started in Chicago.
Well, they say technically Detroit.
deadmau5
Detroit.
russell peters
Detroit, then it moved to Chicago.
eddie bravo
Germany, Kraftwerk.
russell peters
Where it got good.
And then, oh, Kraftwerk, yeah, true.
Kraftwerk was kind of like the groundwork for like...
For, like, Planet Rock and all the hip-hop shit.
And then house music started in, like, around 82, 83 with Steve Silk Early.
Would you agree with that?
deadmau5
Yeah.
russell peters
With Jack Your Body and all that shit.
joe rogan
Okay, okay, okay.
unidentified
Russell Peters dropping knowledge keys!
russell peters
A little bit.
And then in around 1989, 90 is when Europe got a hold of it.
And that's when it started to really take a shit.
It's because the white Europeans would be like, this is too fucking smooth and mellow.
And then they would add the...
That's when Acid House and fucking Hip House and all this shit started.
And that's when I was like, what are you doing to this fucking great house music?
And then it would be like...
Fuck.
deadmau5
Where's my sampler when I need it?
joe rogan
Wow.
brian redban
I have an iPad here.
joe rogan
You know so much more about music than I could ever hope to.
deadmau5
It was disco 2.0.
joe rogan
It's brilliant.
russell peters
It was.
brian redban
Yeah.
russell peters
It was electronic disco is what it was.
joe rogan
Dude, I'll tell you what, man.
Every now and then someone will play the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack and I'll go, God damn, there's some good fucking jams on that track.
On that CD, on that whatever.
More than a woman.
Just some tremendous songs.
If you could just put yourself back in the mindset of the people that were alive that day.
russell peters
That was the shit, son.
eddie bravo
The fucking BGs, the harmonies that's ever hit.
russell peters
All of that shit.
eddie bravo
They were singing like Prince.
russell peters
I'm a disco nerd, fool.
unidentified
You can tell by the way that I use my walk.
eddie bravo
The way they sang that shit.
They sang like bitches.
russell peters
Come on, Barry Gibb.
eddie bravo
Yeah.
If I can't have you.
I mean, that falsetto was amazing.
russell peters
I danced to I can't have you.
If I can't have you in second grade.
Or grade two as we know it.
joe rogan
If I can't have you.
russell peters
In second grade, I auditioned for the school talent show if I can't have you.
Yvonne Elliman.
Interesting fact about Yvonne Elliman, the first Filipino singer.
joe rogan
Really?
deadmau5
Wow.
joe rogan
That embodies that song.
russell peters
And she also sang that song in Jesus Christ Superstar.
deadmau5
Who do you think you are?
russell peters
No.
What was that song that she sang in Jesus Christ?
I'm sorry.
unidentified
What the fuck was it called?
eddie bravo
Damn, I was into metal.
I wasn't into that disco shit, man.
joe rogan
I've always loved all kinds of music, man.
I've always loved all kinds of music.
I love disco.
russell peters
I was a Kiss nerd.
joe rogan
I was a huge Kiss nerd as well.
russell peters
I saw Kiss in 82 on the last tour with makeup and the...
unidentified
Creatures of the Night.
russell peters
Yeah, the Creatures of the Night tour and then the first tour without makeup.
deadmau5
I saw Kiss.
russell peters
It was the same stage.
It was the same tank, remember?
deadmau5
I saw Kiss this year for the first time.
russell peters
Did you really?
I saw him at Maple Leaf Gardens.
unidentified
I didn't see that.
eddie bravo
They used the same tank.
russell peters
Yeah, it was the same tank.
deadmau5
Did they blow shit up with the rigging?
russell peters
Fuck yeah, they did.
deadmau5
With the bazooka thing?
russell peters
One speaker blew out.
joe rogan
Yeah, I saw them when I was a little kid and I met Ace Freely without his makeup when I was like eight years old.
russell peters
Oh my god, and his skin was terrible.
deadmau5
I met Gene Simmons in full makeup, like in the whole thing and everything.
joe rogan
Poor dude had crazy.
Crazy pop marks on his face.
russell peters
Oh yeah, he looked like Bobby for french fries.
joe rogan
When I was a kid, my uncle worked for Howard Marks Advertising, which was the company that used to make the album covers for Kiss.
unidentified
In Boston?
joe rogan
No, it was in Manhattan.
unidentified
Oh, that's sweet.
joe rogan
Yeah, my uncle and his friend.
brian redban
I didn't know that.
joe rogan
Yeah, my uncle and his friend, Dennis.
eddie bravo
Look at you with the fucking Kiss knowledge.
joe rogan
I can go deep.
So my uncle used to make these album covers.
They used to make these album covers.
russell peters
You'll like this, Eddie.
joe rogan
Peter Criss and Gene Simmons and all those guys would stop by, and I was there with him one day at work.
russell peters
Scroll, my friend.
joe rogan
Alright, forget having a conversation.
You know we're doing a podcast.
brian redban
I'm listening, Joe.
russell peters
I think that's amazing.
joe rogan
There's no more stories to be told.
brian redban
I think that's awesome.
I think that's really a unique story that no one knows.
eddie bravo
What's the story?
We missed it.
joe rogan
Yeah, you missed it.
You were talking over me.
russell peters
You know, Gene was at the improv a couple of weeks ago with Shannon and I happened to be on that night.
And Gene did a quote from my book that was released in Canada.
joe rogan
Oh, really?
unidentified
Wow, that's cool.
russell peters
He didn't even fucking know he did it.
eddie bravo
How the fuck do you do a quote?
On stage?
russell peters
No, no, like for the back of the book it was like, Russell is a very handsome man.
I imagine he would be very popular in jail is what the quote was.
deadmau5
You know, I wonder about that sometimes.
What am I going to do when I get in fucking jail?
I have no plans on being in jail.
russell peters
There really would be a dead mouse in jail.
deadmau5
I know, but I think, no, because fucking Red Band over here brought up an interesting fucking point, as a matter of fact.
He said, dude, have you ever seen any prison tattoos?
And I'm like, well...
No, not really.
unidentified
Like, you know, the fucking pen ink kind of thing.
russell peters
They use the chess pieces.
deadmau5
And I thought for a minute, well, wait a minute.
What if I do some, like, dodgy thing that does actually end me up in fucking jail?
Am I going to be, like, someone's bitch?
Or am I going to be, oh, dude, that's that mouse.
russell peters
You better hope it's Metro West.
eddie bravo
Maybe a little of both.
deadmau5
Something like that.
I guess the safe way we'd be going is just don't do anything that would warrant you being in jail.
russell peters
Yeah, pay your taxes and don't fuck people up.
That's the deal.
deadmau5
Yeah, okay, cool.
I can do that.
russell peters
Or you better start training with Eddie and Joe quickly.
joe rogan
No more rape for you.
eddie bravo
I might be a bitch in jail.
russell peters
I don't think you would be, buddy.
deadmau5
I think I would be.
In general, if I were to get arrested now.
brian redban
If I can't have you!
deadmau5
If I were to, like, come across the fucking place right now...
brian redban
There's a lie talking over.
deadmau5
And by some...
brian redban
There's a lie talking over.
I'm sorry.
unidentified
What?
joe rogan
There's a lot of drunk going on in this room.
brian redban
No, there's...
No, no, no, no.
There's a lie talking over everybody.
joe rogan
Yeah.
It's because everybody's drunk.
brian redban
That's right.
No.
joe rogan
It's a fucking mediator.
brian redban
Continue.
unidentified
Sorry.
brian redban
I'm sorry.
Continue.
deadmau5
Dude, no.
I'm just saying.
If I did something, like, drastically illegal right now...
joe rogan
How often do you do podcasts?
deadmau5
Podcasts?
I've never...
This is my first one.
brian redban
I'm virgin.
Oh, virgin.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
It's just like, I know we're all having a conversation, and if we were all hanging out and smoking weed and drinking, we'd have a conversation.
It would be a lot like this.
It would be a clusterfuck between four guys.
deadmau5
Unless the smoking weed.
joe rogan
But we have to, for you, for you, for Eddie and I, it would be twice as much weed.
So we'd balance you out anyway.
But we would be able to hear each other talk.
That's what you've got to do with a podcast.
You've got to be cognizant of other people who are talking at the same time.
unidentified
What?
brian redban
Hey, Joel.
joe rogan
Can I share this?
brian redban
Have you ever had a...
What was your favorite show that you've ever done?
joe rogan
We had a bong, man, but we broke it.
brian redban
Do you have a concert that is like...
Do you have a concert that's like your most memorable?
Do you have something that you always think of?
Like, that was the best time I ever had a show.
Like, that was the one show that blew all the others out of the water.
deadmau5
You have that?
Dude, yeah, yeah.
I... Well, I do and I don't because, you know, I could say anything right now and it would only pertain to that group and then that would be gospel.
brian redban
Right.
deadmau5
And that's fucked up.
brian redban
But you do have one in your head and you just don't want to say it.
Give it up.
deadmau5
No, I'm thinking right now.
Well, you know what?
Anytime in Red Rocks.
Whenever I play at Red Rocks.
brian redban
It's the most amazing place ever, right?
joe rogan
In Colorado?
deadmau5
It absolutely is.
joe rogan
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
deadmau5
Red Rocks.
Do you know what Red Rocks is, too?
joe rogan
Yeah.
brian redban
It's carved into a side of a mountain.
deadmau5
It's like an amphitheater.
Dude, you're playing between two fucking mountains.
joe rogan
Yeah, it's so dope.
unidentified
It's crazy.
deadmau5
And the way that you look at the audience is that because each...
I don't know how you say it.
Like a rung or a stand of where the audience stands.
It's like four feet.
So you're not looking at this vanishing point of people.
You're looking at this wall.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brian redban
Right.
deadmau5
You know, of fucking just crazy dudes.
joe rogan
They do comedy there.
They do comedy and they have movies there.
unidentified
What percentage?
deadmau5
Red Rocks?
No shit.
joe rogan
Red Rocks is amazing.
And there's a high possibility you might see a mountain lion.
brian redban
Right.
You might see ghosts there.
joe rogan
You know, you can't wander off to piss in the woods, bro.
russell peters
You're like, yeah, Jack.
brian redban
Easy.
Easy.
joe rogan
It's a possibility.
It's not a good possibility, but it's out there.
eddie bravo
What percentage of people at your shows, a rough estimate, are on ecstasy?
deadmau5
A rough estimate?
eddie bravo
Yes.
russell peters
Ninety?
brian redban
Ninety percent, right?
joe rogan
I want you to consider the manager sleeping on the couch behind you before you answer this.
Your manager's sweating right now.
eddie bravo
Well, just be honest.
joe rogan
Make the corporate choice, son!
deadmau5
Don't do anything stupid, son!
No, really?
joe rogan
CDs might make a comeback.
deadmau5
I'd say thirty percent.
brian redban
Thirty percent?
Thirty percent.
Hey, Joe.
Joe, you know why?
You know why?
Because 50 of them are on Mali because they know better.
unidentified
Oh.
brian redban
Because they have the internet.
deadmau5
Molly.
How did that name come about anyway?
brian redban
Because it's...
eddie bravo
You tell us.
brian redban
Do you know?
deadmau5
I don't know.
How did Molly come about?
russell peters
I don't know.
deadmau5
I've only been recently hearing about this in the last two years.
brian redban
Because it's pure ecstasy.
Because usually ecstasy is cut with other bullshit.
unidentified
That's great.
deadmau5
But what does that have to do with Molly?
unidentified
I think because it's true MDMA. MDMA. I used to think MDMA was made in a laboratory.
eddie bravo
Ecstasy had to be some scientific chemical bullshit.
I always thought that until a month ago I saw a documentary on ecstasy.
And MDMA, the pure form, it's just like Coke, where Coke all comes from South America.
All ecstasy comes from these rare, the roots of these rare trees in Cambodia.
joe rogan
Oh, I've watched that.
eddie bravo
It all comes from Cambodia.
joe rogan
Yeah, that's a fact.
That was on...
brian redban
Are you serious?
joe rogan
So I'm supposed to take you seriously.
deadmau5
I'm supposed to take you seriously when you come to a fucking concert to appreciate music and craft and art and all that stuff if you're like on these mind-altering substances.
eddie bravo
Come on, man.
joe rogan
Well, it's not that you're supposed to be taking them seriously, but it is kind of fascinating.
Have you ever seen Current TV? Or Vanguard, that's the name of the show.
I think it's on True TV or one of those TV networks, Obscure Cable Network.
And they spend a lot of time in the woods where these people are like, there's a lot of serious crime going on because people are cutting down these trees.
eddie bravo
Yeah, it's amazing.
There's a big problem.
joe rogan
Yeah.
They find these ecstasy labs out in the woods, and they go in with guns, and it's crazy.
The military comes in.
It's really nuts, man.
eddie bravo
It's just like Peru.
It's just like Colombia.
Whoever knew?
I didn't know this shit.
joe rogan
I didn't know either.
I thought it was the same thing you thought.
I thought it was some shit made in a lab.
deadmau5
Is this something generally accepted that should go hand-in-hand with electronic music, then?
joe rogan
No, no.
Listen, man, I think you're taking it really personal.
I don't think it has to.
russell peters
No, I don't know.
joe rogan
We're just tripping out on what it is.
We're just tripping out on what it is.
eddie bravo
Don't you think it's kind of fucking weird that when you do ecstasy, that you're right in the same frequency of trans music?
russell peters
No, no, no.
unidentified
Don't you think it's crazy?
russell peters
Let me jump in there for you there, Mouse.
eddie bravo
That's very crazy.
joe rogan
Hold on.
russell peters
The music that he makes is actually...
And I'm a fucking cynic and a big-ass critic.
deadmau5
No shit.
russell peters
But his music is actually not...
On that level of E because it's actually mellow, smooth house to me.
Like him and Cascades.
I may not appreciate them as DJs per se, but as artists, I go, fuck yeah, that shit is dope.
deadmau5
You know, having said that, I'm not a fucking crusader.
I'm not tailoring my shit.
russell peters
But I'm saying, the shit you'd make is not shit that people need to be high for.
deadmau5
No, not at all.
Listen, I'm getting a fucking level with all of you right now.
I've never done a hard job in my life.
brian redban
You've never done heart drug ever?
russell peters
No.
Like mushrooms?
brian redban
You've never done mushrooms?
deadmau5
No.
brian redban
Have you done...
deadmau5
Oh, dude, name it off.
I can tell you.
brian redban
Salvia, acid, nothing.
deadmau5
I might have smoked a bit of pot when I was a fucking kid just for the fuck of it.
unidentified
Really?
russell peters
I'm the same way.
I tried weed and didn't like it, and that was it for me.
That was all I needed to know that I didn't like it.
deadmau5
Dude, honestly, you smoked weed right fucking now.
I guarantee you I will be in the fucking bathroom shaking, and every time that fucking door opens, he's either going to be a cop or my mom.
joe rogan
Wow.
russell peters
Or your mom as a cop.
deadmau5
Or my mom dressed up as a fucking cop.
brian redban
That's cool.
joe rogan
That's kind of cool.
brian redban
It's kind of cool, but I also almost want to get it like a sex change and just so I could spoon you and do mushrooms with you.
unidentified
You know what I mean?
brian redban
I just want to comfort you and take you into the desert.
russell peters
I'm a beer guy.
unidentified
Fuck it.
brian redban
You know what I mean, Joe?
joe rogan
Take him to the desert.
That's hilarious, man.
brian redban
You know what I mean, though, Joe?
I want to comfort him.
joe rogan
No one on the planet besides you would have explained it that way.
I want to have a sex change and I want to spoon with you and do mushrooms with you.
brian redban
No, I just want to hold him.
I just want to nurse him into mushrooms.
joe rogan
That dude needs mushrooms.
russell peters
That dude needs mushrooms.
brian redban
He needs mushrooms.
joe rogan
He needs ecstasy.
brian redban
He needs marijuana.
unidentified
He needs something.
brian redban
He needs something.
I bet you, if he does that though, the Grammys would blow up.
They would fucking bleed on the couch at spot when they're in the bed.
joe rogan
I don't know that.
You don't think that?
But I know he'd be easier to talk to.
brian redban
No, I think what he does is the most amazing shit ever in the whole entire world, and I can't even believe he does it.
joe rogan
Wait a minute, more than heart surgery?
brian redban
No, I really appreciate musicians.
No matter who it is, I appreciate them.
I've listened to them a million times.
The first time I met Veronica Ricci, I made this whole video because we went to an orchard.
russell peters
An orchid?
brian redban
What was it?
An orange grove.
We went to an orange grove and I made a video and I picked out Deadmau5's song to put as the soundtrack because I think that is an amazing song and I met somebody amazing and I put the song with that.
joe rogan
I feel like you're in a special moment of your life right now.
brian redban
No, no, no.
joe rogan
I feel like I'm here witnessing a special moment of your life.
brian redban
As gay as it sounds, that's what I like.
joe rogan
It doesn't sound gay at all.
How's the opposite of gay?
brian redban
Music to me is so insane to me.
joe rogan
Hold on.
brian redban
Is it central?
Music's one of the most important things in life, is what I'm saying.
And I think it's amazing meeting somebody that I listen to, and I fucking have had emotions with, I've fucking had trips with, I've had fucking really cool evenings with, listening to somebody I don't even know, and I get to meet the person that designed that.
unidentified
I think that's crazy.
joe rogan
So real to me, damn it.
unidentified
Suck his dick.
Suck his dick.
brian redban
Come on.
Alright, here I go.
joe rogan
It's all real to me!
Yeah, have it brother, have it.
brian redban
Alright.
deadmau5
Dude, have you done the preemptive flush on a piss?
joe rogan
What?
Preemptive flush?
deadmau5
Preemptive flush, when you're like...
russell peters
Oh, are you scared?
deadmau5
You've got it, and you're like, I got this.
And then you like time it so that you hit the fucking flusher.
joe rogan
Right as it is, but then you piss a little in that clean water.
deadmau5
You're not quite there yet, and it goes.
eddie bravo
You got to remind yourself.
joe rogan
You should piss again.
You want to flush it.
eddie bravo
You want to flush it, and you're like, no, wait, bro.
You know you're probably going to go another 30 seconds.
deadmau5
No, I don't wait.
eddie bravo
You got to train yourself.
joe rogan
It's a weird obsession to want to piss into clean water.
russell peters
I hate when I finish taking this shit and I cleaned up and then I flush and then I gotta piss again right after.
What is that?
What is my dick not coordinating with my ass?
joe rogan
There's no communication down there, bro.
russell peters
Which is also a good thing, on a side note.
joe rogan
Russell Peters dropping bombs, bitches!
You thought this show was getting boring.
You thought the conflict would steer us off the tracks and into the woods.
We've all determined that you need some sort of psychedelics, young man.
You're a very nice guy, but you definitely need something.
Weed, pot, something.
Someone needs to sit you down.
brian redban
I don't think he needs anything because he's doing it right.
russell peters
I'm a clean guy, I don't know.
joe rogan
Just calm me down.
russell peters
I'm an alcohol guy, that's me.
joe rogan
Give you a little perspective.
brian redban
I think he's doing everything right right now.
joe rogan
Don't fuck up something that's good.
brian redban
Wait till he's fucking 70 or 80 and then do mushrooms.
70 or 80 and then do mushrooms.
deadmau5
I don't know.
unidentified
But you do change your state.
deadmau5
In accordance to law right now, if I were to do some crazy shit, I'm Easily susceptible to just getting to a party.
joe rogan
Oh, right, because you're Canadian.
russell peters
See, that's the Canadian thing in us.
joe rogan
You're so right.
That's so true.
russell peters
He's even nervous about the OG question.
unidentified
That is so true.
deadmau5
God, get that away from me.
eddie bravo
I was baffled.
I was like...
This doesn't make any sense.
joe rogan
No, I don't think that's what it is, man.
No, I can't do it.
I think he just hasn't had that many positive experiences, and he's a very positive person, and he's ambitious.
And he's obviously, to go from where you started doing that kind of music, and then four years later, you're filling the Rogers Center, you have to be ambitious.
There's no way around it.
deadmau5
Well, yeah, and I guess if you're talking in terms of fucking doing shit, then fine.
If I start fucking smoking weed and all that shit right now, are you kidding me, dude?
I'm just so preoccupied with fucking this, that, and the other thing.
joe rogan
I know, I understand that, but you're drinking.
That's what doesn't make any sense.
You're altering your state.
russell peters
I know, but it's a different alteration.
joe rogan
Yeah, it's the shittier one.
russell peters
It's the difference between a hem and a cuff.
deadmau5
It's the shittier one.
joe rogan
It's the one that benefits you least.
It's the one that gives you the most blackouts.
It allows you to relax your standards.
brian redban
There's so many weeds that weed doesn't work on, Joe.
joe rogan
Let your ego fly.
Come at me, bro.
brian redban
There's definitely people that I know.
russell peters
Joe, weed didn't work for me.
I prefer alcohol.
deadmau5
Who did you smoke high with?
joe rogan
I believe you, but who did you get high with?
russell peters
It wasn't even who I got high with.
It's just the few times I tried it.
Every time I tried it, I did not like the way I feel.
joe rogan
Did you get paranoid?
russell peters
Not even paranoid.
I got bored.
And I've got ADD, so it didn't fucking happen.
joe rogan
There's absolutely two different kinds of weed, though.
Do you know that?
What most people get is called indica.
And what indica is is couch weed.
It makes you really sleepy and tired.
There's another thing called sativa, South American weed, like the South Pacific stuff.
That's like, it's from the different parts of the world, and it's way different.
deadmau5
It's a completely different experience.
joe rogan
No, no.
I think you're thinking of salvia?
Oh.
Yeah.
This is sativa.
Sativa is a different type of marijuana.
Yes.
It's a different type.
It's a much more heady, much more Carl Sagan, much more staring at fucking documentaries on sativa, right?
Much more like, you know what I'm saying?
russell peters
I do that sober.
joe rogan
Most people don't know that.
I just smoke I know you do.
I know you do.
But there is two totally different effects.
Eddie likes it all.
He doesn't give a fuck.
eddie bravo
I think it's all good.
russell peters
I think it's all good from Demoria.
I agree with Eddie.
joe rogan
I agree with Eddie as well, especially once you're a seasoned smoker.
No, no, no, no.
It's not the same shit.
No, it's definitely not the same shit.
russell peters
Well, you didn't start smoking until late, though, right?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
I don't think it is, man.
I don't think it has the same effect.
You think it has the same effect?
eddie bravo
Dude, I used to really think that sativa controlled your appetite and indica, you got the munchies and all that shit.
I think it's whatever you think it is.
brian redban
I kind of see that because I've been doing a lot of hybrids lately.
joe rogan
You guys are what's known as stoners.
brian redban
No, no, no, but I've been doing a lot of hybrids lately, and then this one time I was doing a hybrid, and then I was like, this is the best way, the perfect blend of both, and then I'm like, oh wait, this is indica on the bottle.
This whole time I've been doing indica.
So it's like, I'm almost like, alright, is this like fucking alpha brain?
I'm like, what am I doing here?
joe rogan
Is it a placebo you're saying?
brian redban
Yeah, yeah.
joe rogan
I think you're all crazy.
russell peters
Maybe you're smoking airborne.
unidentified
Maybe this motherfucker smokes too much weed and he's just too blasted.
deadmau5
The only thing that pot has ever really done good for me is the first time I fucking smoked pot was upstage a radio show that was actually being syndicated to 109. Energy.
joe rogan
Is that a Toronto station?
deadmau5
Yeah, it is a Toronto station.
Do you remember the Daily Planet?
russell peters
No.
deadmau5
From Niagara Falls?
Oh, it was that kind of thing.
russell peters
So you're from St. Catherine's, so you got a different...
deadmau5
No, no, Niagara Falls.
russell peters
You're from Niagara Falls?
deadmau5
Yeah.
russell peters
Slow down, Hammer, slow down.
unidentified
What up?
brian redban
Do you like Water Falls?
joe rogan
Are you guys like gang members?
deadmau5
So we had this radio show, and there was a guy there, a DJ Just Nice, and he would come in, and we would do...
russell peters
Just Nice.
deadmau5
Yeah, Just Nice.
russell peters
That guy is just nice.
deadmau5
And dudes would show up with these A&P bag...
Full of fucking weed.
russell peters
I like the fact that you said an A&P bag.
You know what made me happier if you said a Food City bag?
joe rogan
You guys are so regional right now.
It's crazy.
deadmau5
I swear to God, I was about 18, 19 years old.
russell peters
How old are you now?
unidentified
How old are you now, kid?
russell peters
I'm 31. Easy, slow down.
deadmau5
Yeah, what up, midlife?
russell peters
These kids, 31. And they're rap music.
deadmau5
And the first time I actually smoked a proper fucking blunt, I shit you not, it was to this rap song.
And I don't know what it was, but I know the lyric because I was so stoned and I kept...
Hearing the same lyric over and over and over again.
unidentified
What was it?
deadmau5
It was like, I don't want something new.
I don't want to chill.
I just want to see my head up on a $100 bill.
russell peters
I don't want to ill.
I just want to chill and rest my head up on a $100 bill.
unidentified
Dude, that line will haunt me for the rest of my fucking days.
russell peters
Ed OG and the Bulldogs.
joe rogan
Well, blunts are a different experience because you get tobacco in there.
russell peters
Ironically, a friend of mine, also from Boston, Ed OG. Blunts are a different experience because you have...
I probably have that on my phone right now.
deadmau5
But no, honestly, when I was up on top of this computer store, you know, recording this fucking show, dude, I was like passed out, fucking staring at the ceiling and hearing the same lyric over and over again.
And every time the door...
Yeah, that's the one.
It was just playing over and over and over in the head.
And every time the security thing went off at the door that opened it up, like I said, it was either a cop or my mom, or my mom dressed up as a cop.
eddie bravo
You need to sample that and make a new song.
deadmau5
It was fucked.
eddie bravo
Come on, it's perfect.
deadmau5
So that's when I decided, you know what?
Not for everyone.
joe rogan
That sounds like a scene in a Stanley Kubrick movie.
eddie bravo
You need to grab that shit.
joe rogan
Your mom dressed up like a cop.
russell peters
I got Jazzy Jeff juggling it before the fucking chorus comes in.
unidentified
Hold on a sec.
russell peters
And you know the ironic part is Jazzy Jeff is juggling it back and forth.
joe rogan
That's a very specific accent.
I would say that's a Philadelphia accent.
eddie bravo
Can you play that?
Is that legal?
joe rogan
Is that a Philadelphia accent?
russell peters
No, it's Boston.
joe rogan
Is it really?
That's interesting.
Boston and Philadelphia are interesting.
russell peters
Joe, you're from fucking Boston.
You don't like that, do you?
joe rogan
It sounds like Philadelphia to me, but Boston black is very different than Boston white.
There's different accents.
There's a lot of the that didn't get inherited by the Boston black community.
Guys like Patrice O'Neill was a black guy.
russell peters
Yeah, very much.
joe rogan
A brilliant comedian from Boston who didn't have the Boston accent.
russell peters
No, Patrice and I... Weston!
Patrice and I used to say the fucking dumbest shit to each other.
I remember we were in Scotland in 2000, and he had this girlfriend at the time who was from Liverpool.
And we were walking, and everything was fucking uphill in Scotland, in Edinburgh.
And she was complaining about walking, and goes, Bitch, don't act like you're too fucking high post to be walking up and down.
And I just thought it was the funniest shit, because...
deadmau5
She said that in Edinburgh?
russell peters
He called her high post.
deadmau5
In Edinburgh?
russell peters
Yeah, and I was like...
deadmau5
Where were you, at the Cabaret fucking Voltaire, or what?
russell peters
We were at the Edinburgh Comedy Festival.
deadmau5
Oh, shit.
russell peters
And I just remember thinking...
deadmau5
Was it by the castle?
russell peters
It was by the castle.
We were on North Castle Street.
deadmau5
Okay, okay, okay.
russell peters
And I would just, even years later, I would say to him, I'd go, hey, you acting all fucking high post.
Because there was a song called High Post at that time too.
Post High.
deadmau5
When was this?
It didn't take off.
joe rogan
Patrice has such an awesome way of phrasing shit.
deadmau5
I'm banned from a place on fucking Castle.
Are you?
The Cabaret Voltero.
russell peters
What did you do to them?
deadmau5
Well, I didn't do anything.
I was testing the integrity of a bottle outside of the nightclub.
Basically kicking it against a curb, seeing how much it would take to smash.
And so, it was funny because I was playing at the club that night and then we stopped or whatever and now I'm outside having a cigarette and I'm kind of edging a bottle on the fucking thing because everyone's like smashing bottles.
It's fucking him, bro.
So I'm going crazy, fucking whatever.
And I start back kicking this fucking bottle on the thing and all the security guys are watching me waiting for the fucking thing to break because they knew as soon as it breaks they had grounds to fucking kick me out.
russell peters
Right, but then you had a weapon.
deadmau5
Or something.
joe rogan
Well, then they had evidence that you're a douchebag.
deadmau5
Yeah, right.
So I finally broke it.
And then they all came out and they said, okay, listen, here's your shit.
Here's your whatever.
Like, you're not welcome here anymore.
We're banning you.
But it was really funny because it was like totally secret of mana moment where they were like, we are banishing you.
You are banished.
You're banished.
You're like totally banished from this nightclub.
And I'm like, okay.
Alright, that's cool.
Yeah, yeah.
You're fine.
Whatever.
Just give me my jacket and I'll go.
eddie bravo
Did you offer to buy him a new bottle?
deadmau5
And it was funny because I really didn't put up a fight at all.
I was just like, you know what?
joe rogan
Hold on a second, man.
If you were running a club, would you want some guy breaking bottles out in front of the club?
deadmau5
Well, yeah.
Why would you want that happening?
Exactly.
That's why I played along.
And I'm like, okay, you know what?
I know what I did was stupid.
joe rogan
Right.
deadmau5
And douchey.
And I, you know, I accept the banishment.
And I'll take it, and I'll go.
And they were like, okay, just so you know, you're banned.
I'm like, okay, give me my jacket.
And so they gave me my jacket, and then they started to kind of walk me out of that little front row post.
And they were like, just so you know, you're banned.
I'm like, yeah, I get it.
I'm banned.
russell peters
I'm banned.
deadmau5
I'm never allowed here ever again, right?
Is that what you mean by banished?
They didn't really ban you, did they?
And they were like, yes.
russell peters
Here's your jacket and a haggis.
Get out of here.
deadmau5
You don't understand the magnitude of what we're trying to tell you is that you're never, ever, ever, ever allowed here again.
And I'm like, okay.
russell peters
Yeah.
deadmau5
And they're like, no.
I'm never allowed here again.
Dude, and it just went on.
russell peters
This is when clubs think that they're way more important than now.
deadmau5
Oh, it was crazy, dude.
And I'm like, okay, listen.
If I can get kicked out of a club in fucking Edinburgh and never go back again, am I also going to regret this later in life?
Probably not.
So I just accepted it.
russell peters
You never know, dog.
deadmau5
And they really didn't like that.
joe rogan
One day it might be the spot.
unidentified
That's right.
deadmau5
I know.
One day.
joe rogan
You might be out front going, come on, man.
I'm sorry.
deadmau5
Listen, I know what I've done is wrong.
joe rogan
I'll clean up all your bottles tonight.
russell peters
They pull out a list of bottle breakers.
deadmau5
It was really funny.
I'm banished from this club and I'm outside on this sidewalk, like across the street, like almost at a completely different fucking venue.
And they kept having people come out of the place that I was banished from.
And they were saying, dude, you're banned.
And I'm like...
I get it.
That's alright.
Okay, yeah.
joe rogan
So wait a minute.
Hold on.
They banned you so you went across the street and hovered?
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
deadmau5
Because I'm waiting for stragglers to come out.
joe rogan
They're essentially trying to get you to get the fuck out of there.
deadmau5
Like out of their whole country.
joe rogan
Well, they wanted you to get out of their view.
They kicked you out of one club and then you went across the street and just stared at them?
Is that essentially what happened?
deadmau5
Stereo room.
joe rogan
Stared at them.
stared at them.
deadmau5
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I was on my way out.
Like, we were ready to get on one of those, what do they call, rickshaws?
Where they got the bike guy.
joe rogan
Oh, so you're just waiting.
deadmau5
Yeah, I'm just waiting for, you know, management to kind of come up.
And it was so funny because they just made a really, really huge effort to have everyone come out and say you're banned.
You're banned.
joe rogan
I guess for them, as a local scene, it's like a fucking devastating hit, you know?
If you're a local band and you can't work anymore...
deadmau5
Oh yeah, that would suck.
joe rogan
That'd be devastating.
deadmau5
But I mean, it was a one-shot only thing for me.
joe rogan
How often do you guys...
I mean, it's always like small town shit.
russell peters
That's like being banned from Applebee's.
joe rogan
Did that ever happen in the Toronto comedy scene?
Guys get banned from certain clubs.
russell peters
Fuck yeah, they do.
deadmau5
I was banned from Niagara Square.
russell peters
Stop bragging.
joe rogan
Yeah, let Russell Peters speak for a second, please.
russell peters
In Toronto, in Canada especially, if you work for Yuck Yucks, you're not allowed to perform at any other comedy club.
deadmau5
No shit.
joe rogan
That happens.
russell peters
There's a few clubs that do that.
It's funny because the young comics that I know still in Toronto will call me like, yo, I'm thinking about leaving Yuck Yucks.
I'm going to call them.
I'm like, if you're going to leave a bitch, don't fucking tell her you're leaving and just fucking bounce.
And let the hooker figure it out on her own.
joe rogan
Wow.
Russell Peters with some chrome pimp hand type shit.
russell peters
Right?
joe rogan
Back knuckle knocking bitches for a loop.
Clang!
russell peters
And I'm referring to the corporate world as the bitch.
deadmau5
So if you're out of Yuck Yucks, you're out?
russell peters
If you're out of Yuck Yucks, you're working for the outside, as they call it.
joe rogan
Very hard to do.
Yuck Yucks has good rooms.
They have a bunch of them.
russell peters
They don't have great rooms, Joe.
And here's the problem in Canada.
joe rogan
The one in Vancouver was amazing, but they don't have that anymore.
eddie bravo
Be careful now.
russell peters
Right, that's gone now.
eddie bravo
This is live.
joe rogan
Mix now, right?
What is a comedy mix?
russell peters
Here's the thing.
They were always good to me, but that's because I never really fell for I'm your hoe fucking mentality.
You know what I mean?
Because I would leave.
joe rogan
Oh, you let a motherfucker know you know the game.
deadmau5
Right.
russell peters
From 95, I started going to England.
joe rogan
Russell P. show up with a cane.
unidentified
Word.
joe rogan
Got a real limp.
russell peters
Let him know, son.
Let him know.
Tell him why you mad, Joe.
Tell him why you mad.
joe rogan
Got a Barnabas Collins head on it.
A big silver dragon.
russell peters
I started playing outside of Yuck Yucks in 95, like in England, and I realized that the rest of the world was there, that I didn't need to fucking focus on Canada like that.
joe rogan
Didn't you really get famous very quickly because of the internet, because of video clips?
russell peters
Well, not really quickly.
joe rogan
I mean, I don't want to say like...
russell peters
I was 15 years in when I got famous.
joe rogan
Oh, were you really?
russell peters
I started in 89. Oh, I didn't know that.
In Canada, I was around since 89. Dude, I was like 8...
He was probably eight.
unidentified
No, I was eight.
russell peters
He was eight when I started.
joe rogan
That's amazing.
But you became famous, as far as my world, because of the internet.
russell peters
That is absolutely correct.
joe rogan
A bunch of people sending me clips where, like, have you heard of this Russell Peters guy?
And then, boom, YouTube clips.
You were one of the first guys that I know that really blew up because of YouTube clips.
russell peters
That was in 2004, late 2004, when YouTube just started.
And then by the time the end of 05 came, I literally went from making $40,000 a year in the end of 03 to the end of 04 making half a million.
joe rogan
Don't tell us how much money you made.
russell peters
No, no, no, but I'm saying that's what it went from.
joe rogan
People out there don't want to know.
russell peters
They're going to ask you for loans.
From $40,000 to half a million in a year like that.
joe rogan
Okay, well, let's stop your progress right now and not catch up to today because people are going to get sad.
russell peters
No, no, no.
And now I'm broke.
And that's why I'm here.
joe rogan
I don't mean sad like that.
I mean sad about their own lives.
brian redban
When was the last time you were at the Olive Garden?
russell peters
Oh, let me tell you something.
I fucking love the Olive Garden.
When were we there last?
joe rogan
You fuck.
You motherfucker.
brian redban
When was the last time?
Seriously, when was the last time Russell Peters was at the Olive Garden?
joe rogan
I can't believe you snuck that in there.
russell peters
November, I was at the Olive Garden.
joe rogan
November.
russell peters
In Times Square.
brian redban
Oh, that's the good one.
That's the hot spot Olive Garden.
joe rogan
Is that the nation's capital?
brian redban
That's the hot spot Olive Garden.
There's lines to get in this Olive Garden.
russell peters
Fuck yeah, there was.
It was me, DJ Spinbad, his wife, and his two kids.
brian redban
Did you get in?
Did you like, I'm Russell?
russell peters
No, fuck, that shit don't work at the Olive Garden, fool.
brian redban
So you got the little thing you put in your pocket that gives them alarms off?
russell peters
I had the CD disc-sized fucking vibrator that they give you.
brian redban
You know it's the worst.
joe rogan
It spins in a fucking red light.
russell peters
And it lights up.
It lights up.
brian redban
You know it's the worst.
This is the worst thing.
True story.
That thing, if you go out of bounds, like at the Burbank Olive Garden, it's always an hour and a half to two hour wait.
So if you go out of bounds, it starts playing this really embarrassing song and it won't stop.
The coaster thing you're talking about, right?
I would go to Target, and next thing you know, I'd start playing nursery rhymes, but really loud.
It's like an ice cream truck in your pocket, and everyone's looking at you.
joe rogan
That's the alarm?
brian redban
Yeah, it's like a way to say, hey, you're stealing something.
You're stealing the Olive Garden's property.
We're going to annoy everybody around you by this really high-pitched nursery rhyme.
unidentified
We're going to give you a kiss.
joe rogan
I guess as long as it's a song, they can't pretend that it's torturing you.
Whereas if it was an alarm that went off, you could probably sue them for that shit.
Like, how do I get this to shut off?
deadmau5
So they can't put some audio that's like, stolen property!
brian redban
Yeah.
No, they play a nice, happy song like, hey, you're out of bounds.
russell peters
They should have had an older time going, hey, what are you doing with my pager?
joe rogan
I went to the supermarket.
unidentified
You son of a bitch!
deadmau5
Come back!
joe rogan
I went to the supermarket the other day, and as I'm leaving the supermarket, the wheels on my cart lock up.
russell peters
Oh yeah, it does that shit.
joe rogan
They had a certain distance where you could travel away from the store before the cart locked up, but this was so fucking stupid because it was right in front of the store.
deadmau5
Well, I do that with my mouse ears that we sell at the shows, actually.
You can buy these little headband mouse ears, and if you actually walk out 50 feet of the venue, then you're shocked.
brian redban
Are you serious?
deadmau5
Yeah, 50 volts.
Fucking sucks, dude.
brian redban
The battery in it.
You have it so it's set up so the battery does it.
joe rogan
Wait a minute.
Talk us through that again.
What are you talking about?
unidentified
Oh, the mouse ears that we sell on our shows?
joe rogan
And people get shocked by them?
deadmau5
Yeah, absolutely.
joe rogan
But you sell them?
brian redban
Yeah.
joe rogan
I don't understand.
deadmau5
Five dollars.
brian redban
It's like when you go to Star Wars.
unidentified
Right.
deadmau5
And you buy the 3D glasses or something like that.
joe rogan
So you're supposed to give them back?
russell peters
They have to return the mouse ears?
deadmau5
No, no, no.
Well, you can't.
Because if you get past the fucking barrier, you're fucked.
brian redban
You're shocked.
deadmau5
You're shocked.
brian redban
You get a little jolt.
joe rogan
But I'm confused.
unidentified
How many shots?
joe rogan
What are they supposed to do?
What are you supposed to do?
deadmau5
Come back!
joe rogan
They're supposed to give him back to you.
You haven't explained that.
deadmau5
No, I'm joking.
I'm totally taking a piss.
joe rogan
You're totally joking.
unidentified
Okay.
deadmau5
Sorry.
I was going to leave you on, but I can't believe you took it that fucking far.
I should believe that.
brian redban
I tried to help him out.
joe rogan
Where were you when we went off this terrible dark road?
russell peters
I don't know.
In comics, we analyze it like, okay, this could be real.
deadmau5
But that actually is kind of badass, though.
If you get that kind of Olive Garden technology and incorporate it in your show, and you're leaving a venue with a product that someone has been selling at your show or whatever.
joe rogan
Anyway, like I was saying, I was at the supermarket and my fucking wheels locked I've had that happen.
And so I had two choices.
Either I'm going to call someone and tell them, hey, this cart locked up, or I caveman this bitch and just dragged it.
russell peters
I did that.
joe rogan
So I dragged it through the parking lot.
russell peters
I dragged the shit out.
joe rogan
I did it angry, man.
russell peters
And that happened to me in Canada at Urban Home Outfitters.
Yeah, and I had a shitload of shit in their fucking cart, and I'd parked far enough where I couldn't get...
I pushed the cart and they'd go, oh, sorry.
unidentified
So stupid.
russell peters
The car won't I'll go there.
Where the fuck do I have a cart then?
joe rogan
And it really pisses me off.
russell peters
We don't have Mexicans in Canada.
I can't help with this.
joe rogan
Two things I never do.
eddie bravo
Hey, hey, hey.
joe rogan
In a good way.
deadmau5
Oh, fuck the Indians are going to come out.
joe rogan
Two things I never do.
I never purposely litter.
I never litter and I always bring back carts.
It's not that fucking hard to do.
eddie bravo
It's not snowing.
I don't know about these fucking carts, man.
This is all brand new.
This is like Discovery Channel shit for me.
There's carts that say you can't fucking deliver.
joe rogan
If you go further than a certain distance, they lock up.
eddie bravo
Damn.
joe rogan
The carts will lock up.
russell peters
Like they literally lock up.
joe rogan
It's so stupid.
So you have to drag them.
Essentially they're on like this rubber pads.
And you just grab it.
deadmau5
Is that so wrong?
Is that so wrong?
I mean if I own a supermarket.
russell peters
It arm bars your wheels.
deadmau5
And I own a finite amount of fucking carts.
And people are just going to be taking those fucking things.
eddie bravo
Make them go out to the street.
Just to the street they ring.
If you got them out there, it's August.
joe rogan
Well, you know, it's like a cell phone.
I'm sure it's like one of those dog things, too.
Those dog electrical fences they put up.
deadmau5
You gotta look at the value of the fucking cart.
The cart probably costs about like $30.
joe rogan
How about the value of having your customers not have to fucking drag their food?
russell peters
They don't offer you like assistance.
They don't offer you somebody, okay, sir, the cart will stop here, we will have somebody help you carry.
deadmau5
Oh, the cart stops here, but a buddy with the bags will continue on to your car.
eddie bravo
They'll all be Mexicans.
russell peters
Steal this in a good way.
joe rogan
Robots.
unidentified
Steal this human, but don't steal this cart.
brian redban
The best thing about the Olive Garden in Burbank is that you...
unidentified
That's the battle.
brian redban
Hey, listen, this is true.
eddie bravo
Mexicans against the robots, that's the future.
joe rogan
Robots before Mexicans.
eddie bravo
Robots start taking the Mexicans' jobs.
joe rogan
Right when the Mexicans start taking over manufacturing.
russell peters
And the worst part is the robots are programmed by Indians.
eddie bravo
There's a Mexican Terminator.
joe rogan
And the worst part is the rest of America can't differentiate.
deadmau5
You're slogging the ditch.
eddie bravo
There's a war going on that no one knows about.
russell peters
They're like, these new Mexicans are hairy.
unidentified
The robots and the Mexicans...
russell peters
And they're Ray fucking lazier.
joe rogan
And they dance more.
eddie bravo
Mexicans will start dressing up as robots.
joe rogan
The new Mexicans.
And they're really into movies.
unidentified
I am a robot!
russell peters
These new Mexican 2.0s are really lazy.
joe rogan
This is a new Indian Fight League.
Some big Indian.
deadmau5
I don't know why they call them Red Band.
russell peters
I'm aware of it.
I know one of the guys involved.
joe rogan
They're going to do an ultimate fighter out of there as well.
Hey man, we can't all have conversations at the same time.
russell peters
I'm really excited about this Indian Fight League actually.
joe rogan
It's going to be crazy.
russell peters
I know one of the guys involved.
What?
There's a new MMA series starting in India.
Okay.
It's almost like a round robin type of thing, right?
joe rogan
I don't know what it is.
It's a new company.
russell peters
First of all, they got this new thing called the World Fight League or something.
joe rogan
WFL? They always come up with crazy names for these things.
unidentified
No, but it's for boxing.
deadmau5
Like boxing?
joe rogan
Oh, for boxing?
russell peters
Yeah, it's like a boxing team.
joe rogan
In India?
russell peters
Yeah, it's called Super Fight League.
But this is MMA. Yeah, but no, but there's the MMA one, but there's also a Super Fight League.
joe rogan
A boxing one?
russell peters
A boxing one where they have teams from different countries that fight.
eddie bravo
That's not going to work.
joe rogan
That's not going to work.
russell peters
I agree, I agree.
It's not going to work.
It doesn't make any fucking sense because you can't have a solo sport fought as a team.
It doesn't make any fucking sense.
joe rogan
They tried that.
eddie bravo
Not with MMA around.
With MMA around, you know, you can have a new body.
joe rogan
They did it for a while.
They had a thing called the IFL. Independent Fight League or something?
No, International Fight League.
eddie bravo
Exotic Fight League.
russell peters
Exotic.
joe rogan
Exotic with an I. IG-Sonic.
eddie bravo
No, but you know what?
MMA's getting so big in...
Asia, like the big Asian thing is 1FC. It's like Dream from Japan, but in Southeast Asia, it's giant.
russell peters
1FC. I love Dream.
I love Pride.
Those are my favorites at first.
joe rogan
Pride was awesome back in the day, man.
I always wanted to go see one of those shows.
russell peters
I really wish the Fertittas didn't fucking smoke it.
joe rogan
Well, before it went away, man, we knew Turi.
Remember when Turi worked for them?
We had a chance, man.
We were going to go to one of those live prides.
eddie bravo
They fucked up, though.
We were coordinating it.
Because basically in most countries, organized crime runs the fight leagues.
joe rogan
Hey, he just said two minutes.
We've got to end this pitch.
Well, we can come back again, but we've got to stop this one recording.
Otherwise, it's going to be corrupt.
When he gets anything over three hours, you put it on iTunes and it just shits all over itself.
russell peters
So we'll just stop right here.
It's like Blaze in the corner.
They're just fucking sound asleep.
joe rogan
Yeah, it's pretty late anyway.
Listen, this has been a fantastic podcast.
We got drunk together.
We learned a lot about each other.
Right?
Eddie Bravo, any last thing you need to say before we get out of here?
eddie bravo
Can you give me a drum beat?
joe rogan
Okay.
Russell Peters.
unidentified
He's going to say boots, cats, boots, cats, boots, cats, boots, cats.
joe rogan
and gentlemen, I just ask you to just not judge us as human beings by this show.
Don't judge us.
Don't judge us as personalities or people with the inability to form one coherent group of humans not communicating on top of each other.
Just know that it's late and we're tired and we had a bunch of time.
russell peters
Can I stress how much this podcast meant to me?
I drove from Irvine, California.
joe rogan
That's fucked up.
russell peters
I was drunk so I had Blaze drive my car from Irvine, California to here and now we're going to go back to Irvine from here.
joe rogan
Russell Peters.
russell peters
I wanted to see you, Zimmerman.
joe rogan
One of the baddest motherfuckers on the planet.
russell peters
I wanted to see Eddie Bravo.
I wanted to see Joe Rogan.
joe rogan
I wanted to see you, buddy.
russell peters
I wanted to see my little brother, Red Band.
joe rogan
I'm always happy to see you.
Russell, you're an awesome dude, man.
The first time we ever hung out in Vegas, I'm like, this motherfucker, I love him.
We had a good time, man.
The very first time we hung out, went up to the mix, had a couple cocktails and laughs.
russell peters
We had some beverages.
joe rogan
Hit it off fabulously.
Or would they say famously?
russell peters
And I did not want to freeload off you so well.
I split the bottles with you.
joe rogan
Yeah, we had a good time, man.
russell peters
That's true.
We had a great time.
joe rogan
We had fun.
russell peters

The next one is actually in Japan.
Brian's going.
russell peters
I can't leave.
joe rogan
Oh, shit.
A couple weeks, man.
It's got to be nuts, man.
I'm fascinated.
Fascinated what that's going to be like.
You ever been?

No, I've never been to Japan, but has Danny Glover gotten married yet?
joe rogan
Danny Glover?

You know what I'm talking about.
joe rogan
Listen.

We're speaking in code, buddy.

Not to anybody.
That's not code.
I'll be right back.
That's not code.
Everybody knows what you're saying.
