joe rogan
Did you change the background?
unidentified
Alright, now you are.
Yes, I did.
joe rogan
Beautiful.
Fly me to the moon.
Don't sue me.
That's all I can say.
ari shaffir
Can they sue for that much?
joe rogan
Probably.
ari shaffir
They'll sue for whatever they want.
joe rogan
Probably get you just for the tone.
I bet you go...
They own that.
ari shaffir
Those fucks.
unidentified
Those fucks.
joe rogan
The Joe Rogan Experience Podcast is brought to you by The Fleshlight.
Someday, we're going to have Sam Harris on the podcast.
I had lunch with him today.
Famed neurosurgeon, prominent atheist, author, genius extraordinaire.
And on that day, The Fleshlight, I'm going to tell you what, we won't be talking about you.
ari shaffir
You can't be able to sponsor that one?
joe rogan
He's sensitive to it.
And rightly so.
If people found his shit online and they went and researched that and we talked for the first 20 minutes about the flashlight.
ari shaffir
Discredit him in some way.
joe rogan
Not sex.
Sex talk?
No.
But sex toy?
Maybe.
brian redban
What if we disguise it?
Like if we just talk about something else?
You know, like what if we disguise it as that?
joe rogan
Our deal with the Fleshlight was back when we only had one podcast a week.
And, you know, now we do often three podcasts a week and we still talk about the Fleshlight.
You know, we never tried to charge them more money ever.
I think if they skip a podcast, they're just going to have to deal with that shit.
ari shaffir
Sometimes you have to if it's...
The content doesn't come up for it.
joe rogan
It is what it is.
I'm a huge supporter of the Fresh Light.
I really wish Sam could just sit here and we could talk about it like two intelligent people.
You know?
Is it fucking up?
These things suck, man.
brian redban
We gotta get new ones.
joe rogan
The thing's like a limp dick.
Look at it.
It's all floppy flop.
ari shaffir
I got it now.
joe rogan
You got it?
ari shaffir
Yeah.
joe rogan
Gotta talk right into that bitch.
Anyway, Fleshly is a solid product.
Everybody knows what it is.
You know the commercial.
You know the deal.
Brian pointed this out to me yesterday.
It's kind of freaking me out the other day.
It is the same thing.
I am saying the same thing.
So even though I'm trying not to say the same thing, I'm still saying the same thing.
Because ultimately, I have to say that to get you a discount, you go to JoeRogan.net and you click on the link and you enter in the code name Rogan.
All the other things.
ari shaffir
You're saying just record it?
joe rogan
It might not be a bad idea, but people like this for whatever reason.
ari shaffir
They like the fact that we don't.
joe rogan
It's better.
ari shaffir
You're really talking.
brian redban
I think it's just the certain parts where, especially when you're talking about Onnit, and you're like, steal your own products.
joe rogan
I know they know that, but there's people that are listening to this for the first time.
I know it sounds crazy.
To everybody else that's been on board from the beginning, we love you, we appreciate you very much, but we can't do a show just for you.
We have to do a show recognizing the fact that somebody might be tuning into this.
You know what I mean?
I don't like following shows.
I could never watch Dexter mid-season.
I'm not going to do it.
You lost me.
Because it all falls into each other.
I don't know who the fuck that guy is.
This girl.
Why is she calling him?
Why am I supposed to care?
ari shaffir
I like that the whole years hold together year by year.
You might skip a season.
But you've got to watch them in order.
joe rogan
Someone could be tuning into this fucking show for the first time.
I don't want them to have to know a bunch of inside shit.
brian redban
You know what my favorite thing is, is people are sitting on Twitter lately, is fleshlights stuffed into their mattresses and their beds and printouts of my face.
Like, above it, like on the mattress, so it looks like they're fucking it while looking at my face.
joe rogan
That's kind of hot.
brian redban
Yeah, I like that.
joe rogan
Why not, bro?
As long as they're not mean.
As long as when they're done, they don't stab your picture and go fucking crazy.
brian redban
Yeah, I wish it wasn't guys, you know?
joe rogan
I wish it wasn't guys, yeah.
Maybe there's some girls out there fingering themselves to you.
I bet there are.
ari shaffir
Just rubbing their finger by his vagina.
joe rogan
Listen, this podcast reaches a lot of human beings.
Hundreds and hundreds of thousands.
There's got to be one girl out there that's, oh, Brian's on.
She just fucking gets crazy.
She's probably one of those girls that claws at her pussy.
You ever watch like a porno where a girl, she's clawing at it.
You're like, hey, hey, hey, are you sure?
unidentified
- You don't.
- What was that?
joe rogan
- Is that your phone?
- That's Brody.
brian redban
- Brody.
Brody Stevens.
joe rogan
Yeah, I don't like when they claw at it, man.
That makes me uncomfortable.
You know, like if I was doing that, I would feel like I was being way too rough.
You know, and this girl's just digging in her own pussy like, oh, what's going on there?
Is that thing just numb?
brian redban
Yeah.
joe rogan
You know, that's what they say is actually some sort of a scientific thing.
No, no, no.
People that have, like, genital piercings, and, like, especially when they have a lot of them, that many of them, they believe it's connected to a disease where they don't feel things the same way we do.
They don't have the same amount of sensory input from pain, so they have to really hurt themselves to feel it.
unidentified
Oh, in order to get it?
joe rogan
Yeah.
And then there's certain people that, you know, there's a broad spectrum of how the human body works and operates, and Sometimes the wonky thing is their pain doesn't work.
It doesn't work right.
And they want to experience pain.
So they'll pierce themselves, especially their genitals.
Besides sexual abuse, that's another thing with genital piercing.
Sexual abuse?
ari shaffir
I thought it felt better for them.
Didn't you ever hear that?
joe rogan
Yeah, I've heard it with girls' clits and stuff like that.
But I always thought they were just crazy.
You know, but there's the video of the guy getting fucked to death by the horse, Mr. Hands, that guy's balls are all pierced up.
ari shaffir
Oh, really?
joe rogan
Yeah, like a three-ring binder.
ari shaffir
How many times have you watched that video?
joe rogan
I've watched it many times.
ari shaffir
You've studied the cinematography?
joe rogan
Yeah, I could tell if you fucked with it.
unidentified
Really?
joe rogan
If it was like the Zapruder film where you're trying to cut out scenes, I'd be like, no, no, no, no, no, that's not what the...
The horse didn't come yet.
You cut some shit out.
You cut some shit out.
The horse came too quick.
ari shaffir
The ball is bulging there, so you can tell it's still full of semen.
joe rogan
Onnit.com is our other sponsor, and I do have to say people are getting annoyed with these ads as well, but some people haven't heard them before, so I have to say it in a certain amount of order.
ari shaffir
What, do you want to take a break in the middle?
joe rogan
Yeah.
Yeah, what do you want, folks?
What the fuck do you want me to do?
ari shaffir
At least you're talking about it.
Remember radio hosts just go into their spiel in the middle?
joe rogan
Oh, it's the grossest thing.
It's PBS. Really?
I was listening to this Terrence McKenna interview, and he was on PBS, and every fucking five minutes, no bullshit, every five minutes, This is our fun drive, our big fun drive.
If you want to keep conversations going, this is a great conversation we're having right now with Terrence McKenna, please donate.
You can donate by bleh, bleh, bleh.
You can offer this and you get a cup.
You get your fresh air mug.
ari shaffir
Was he in front of Terrence McKenna saying that?
unidentified
Yes!
joe rogan
And he kept doing it.
It was brutal.
unidentified
And then he just got away.
joe rogan
It's like, I will pay you anything to not have you do that.
You're torturing people.
Nobody wants to hear that.
That's a ridiculous thing.
You're making people who are listening to an hour interview listen to six fucking commercials.
You stop it six times!
Fuck you!
You know I heard it already!
What are you doing?
Are you pestering me?
Who the fuck do you think you're reaching?
Are they the same people?
unidentified
Do random people just start tuning in halfway through this fucking thing?
ari shaffir
They're shaking you down.
joe rogan
You asshole!
ari shaffir
With boredom.
unidentified
Cut it out!
ari shaffir
That's their weapon.
joe rogan
Yeah, it's dull.
Makes you want to kill them.
ari shaffir
Give me your money.
I will bore you more.
joe rogan
You fucking delusional cunt.
And the only reason why they think they can get away with this is because we rely on public funding.
If they didn't rely on public funding, they'd be like, fuck you, man.
I'm not buying your shit.
You're asking me to buy your shit every six minutes?
ari shaffir
It's so annoying.
joe rogan
Suck it!
brian redban
Yeah, well, these commercials, probably after a few times, you'd probably think the same.
What happened from, like, the 15-minute, or 15-second spots and 30-second spots to, like, the 10-minute spots?
It seems like a jump one day.
ari shaffir
You don't ever get to the products.
joe rogan
And we have to deal with controversy, too.
brian redban
Controversy?
joe rogan
Yeah, there's always...
It's not just new products.
It's new products dealing with controversy.
Oh, one thing I can tell because of your voices, the discount code, Rogan, is only good the first time you use it.
Now it's good any time you use it.
So any time you use the code name Rogan, you get 10% off every time now.
ari shaffir
That's good.
joe rogan
That's better.
And we have a whole new product line.
We're coming out with hemp protein and shit like that.
And we're going to start selling kettlebells.
Because kettlebells are expensive as fuck.
unidentified
Oh, that's so good.
joe rogan
They're expensive as fuck for no reason, man.
You can get high quality ones made as long as you're selling them online.
We would do it not trying to bring them to stores and shit like that.
So we could sell them same quality, way cheaper than everybody else sells them.
You find out a lot of things when you start selling things, like how much money people make for shit.
One of the things about Onnit and AlphaBrain, people are like, why is it so expensive?
Our profit margin compared to most supplements is way lower.
The ingredients are very fucking expensive.
All the shit that we have in it is the best quality available.
We're really doing it like the worst way ever to make money.
unidentified
Right.
joe rogan
Because we're saying you get 100% money back guarantee if you don't like it.
If you use it, it used to be you could buy up fucking 100 bottles and you wouldn't even have to send them back.
We would just give you your money.
But too many people were ripping us off.
They were selling them on eBay and shit, so we had to stop doing that.
ari shaffir
Yeah.
joe rogan
But if you order it and you don't like it, you don't have to send it back.
Just tell us, I didn't like it.
It didn't do anything for me.
Even something as strange as a vitamin.
You know what I mean?
How do you know if a vitamin is doing something for you?
Do you really fucking know?
I mean, how much time does it take before you're so in tune with your body that you can tell when you have and have not a multivitamin inside you?
ari shaffir
If it's a radioactive vitamin, you can tell.
joe rogan
Then you can tell.
But that said, if you take vitamins on a regular basis, you will notice a difference in your overall health.
I'm absolutely convinced of that.
That is my experience in my life.
I've read studies that say otherwise, but I've also seen studies that I know were influenced by bullshit, by pharmaceutical companies.
They've been trying to license nutraceuticals.
They've been trying to make it so that vitamins are prescription only for a long time.
That's something pharmaceutical companies have lobbied to try to do a couple of times.
Who would have the rights to only one thing?
The pharmaceutical companies would.
They would have the rights to sell vitamin C. If you wanted vitamin C, you would have to go get a prescription for it.
ari shaffir
It's way worse than we have it now.
joe rogan
It's horrific!
You would have to go to doctors to get vitamins.
You know how fucking terrible that would be.
And you would have to give you a prescription for all of them.
I guess unless we had some open...
You would have to have things that are approved, and then those things that were approved, you would have an open prescription for any...
Extra dietary nutrients.
I mean, unless you would have it every time you wanted to get something.
Vitamin D? Why would you need a prescription?
Because they can make money off of it and they can keep supplement companies.
ari shaffir
Right now, who gives it?
Just regular people?
joe rogan
That's the problem, is that they feel like it's not regulated enough.
And there's a good point to that.
There's a very good point to that, but it's way better than over-regulation, which is what it would be if you had to prescribe vitamins.
ari shaffir
No one would get it.
joe rogan
People have figured out what works and what doesn't work.
There's a lot of scientific studies about the efficacy of all sorts of different multivitamins.
There's things that point to the fact that certain ones can help you in stress.
B12 gives you energy.
It's not nonsense.
There's a lot of reality in vitamins.
What you're doing is you're supplementing the essential parts of food that are healthy for you.
It's really that simple.
And I have always been a person that has tried to, as much as I can, eat healthy.
And when I can't eat healthy, I make sure I'm always taking vitamins.
I notice a difference, man.
You've got to give your body a chance.
When Ari was doing jiu-jitsu, he was eating fucking hot dogs and shit, no vitamins, no nothing.
unidentified
All day.
joe rogan
Yeah, and he was getting injured all the time.
I was like, what are you eating?
What are you throwing in your body?
ari shaffir
And I was like, yep, nachos, whatever.
See what's around.
joe rogan
So for now, if you're interested in nootropics, here's the spiel.
This is how I say it every week.
Google that shit.
Don't just buy our stuff.
unidentified
Google it.
joe rogan
There's a bunch of different companies out there.
I'm sure there's a bunch of good ones.
You don't need to buy our stuff.
If you think our stuff is too expensive, this is all you have to do.
Buy everything in bulk.
The ingredient list is all online and it's listed exactly how much is in of each different supplement.
So take the ingredients list.
Make your own.
Seriously, I'm 100% happy if people do that.
I don't care.
If you buy it and you don't like it, you get 100% of your money back for the first order.
If you keep buying it and then you say, I didn't like this one either!
I didn't like this one!
Then I have a feeling that you're just fucking crazy.
That's it.
brian redban
Don't forget about higher primate.
You never talk about that.
That shit's awesome.
You ever going to have a sale?
joe rogan
See, I feel bad because it's like I'm sponsoring myself.
brian redban
Yeah, but that's actually, you know, a lot of people I think would love some cool t-shirts.
joe rogan
Well, if you're in show monkeys and weed, and you probably are, who isn't, go to hire-primate.com.
That's my t-shirt company.
And I've actually been meaning to talk about this because we've got a whole new supply in.
Yeah, so it's all just weird cartoon monkeys that are getting high.
It's cool.
brian redban
I always wear them.
joe rogan
I got monkeys playing chess with aliens.
Monkeys doing mushrooms.
We've got new ones coming out, too.
New designs?
Yeah, I'm going to have some new designs about monkeys and mushrooms.
Because I want to get some stoned ape theory type illustration where the monkeys are all gathered around a glowing mushroom.
I just got to get another guy to draw one up.
ari shaffir
How about this?
How about a bunch of those monkeys passing a joint around and one dude has a thought bubble and he's like, oh, this one monkey?
joe rogan
Dude, that's a good idea.
ari shaffir
And then he gets a thought of...
Whatever, I don't know, the Stoned Ape Theory was.
brian redban
It's like Operator, though.
Like, it starts off with, like, a scribble, and then it turns into a banana.
joe rogan
That's a good idea, though, dude.
A monkey with a balloon in a joint line, and he's like, oh, shit, I got an idea.
ari shaffir
Yeah.
joe rogan
Yeah, that's a good idea.
ari shaffir
That's the theory they came up with.
Powerful.
joe rogan
Ari Shafir.
ari shaffir
Or it could be a crazy idea.
brian redban
So crazy it would work.
joe rogan
So crazy that if you go to JoeRogan.net, click on the Fleshlight link, and enter in the code name Rogan, you get 10% off!
From now and for every order in the future.
brian redban
For a fleshlight.
joe rogan
For a fleshlight.
Proper.
Eternity.
brian redban
What the hell?
joe rogan
Times a million.
Hit that shit, bitch.
Let's start this fucking disaster off.
unidentified
The Joe Rogan Experience.
Train by day.
Joe Rogan Podcast by night.
All day!
Was that Nick Diaz?
joe rogan
Yeah.
He said that after he beat BJ Penn.
ari shaffir
Oh my god.
joe rogan
Isn't that the coolest thing ever?
ari shaffir
It is.
joe rogan
Yeah, he said that after he beat BJ Penn.
We're like, oh shit, we gotta get a recording of that.
brian redban
Any upcoming fighters, if you want to have your own Joe Rogan experience opening, just say it after you win.
joe rogan
And we'll put you on there.
We'll stick it in there.
unidentified
We'll give you some propers.
brian redban
So, Silva...
joe rogan
Oh yeah, some jetwaterpipes.com sent us the coolest bong ever.
ari shaffir
That was that high-tech one?
joe rogan
Yeah.
ari shaffir
That's pretty cool.
joe rogan
You know what it is?
brian redban
It's exactly like Dyson for bongs.
Even their website, if you go to their website, it's just like a Dyson website.
It's so nicely crafted.
You don't have to pull out the carb for it to take a hit.
You just push down this little thing and it opens up the carb for you.
It's an awesome bong.
I've used many, many bongs before, but that one is just...
Tight.
I want to get wet really bad.
joe rogan
They took it to the next level.
brian redban
Yeah.
joe rogan
They did.
How do you clear out that bowl?
You pull down a little...
The stem has like a little lever on it.
ari shaffir
And then you pull it down.
Pop it out?
brian redban
Oh, the bowl just unscrews.
joe rogan
The bowl just unscrews.
ari shaffir
Okay, and you can wash it out.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
joe rogan
And it won't break either.
It's not made as super delicate shit.
I broke the bond that's at the desk.
brian redban
Ice house.
joe rogan
Ice house.
ari shaffir
Oh, no.
Really?
joe rogan
Knocked it over to my core like a retard.
brian redban
Yeah.
And bong water smells awesome.
ari shaffir
Bong water smells horrible.
brian redban
I peed on it.
ari shaffir
There's no way you're cleaning that out every day.
joe rogan
You gotta get some of that stuff that you get at Petco for when your cat pisses.
brian redban
That's what I use.
That's so funny you said that.
I use that.
joe rogan
You ever have a cat that pisses in your house?
brian redban
Yeah, we talked about it a couple weeks ago.
I pissed all over my fucking bed.
unidentified
Oh, that's right.
brian redban
And my fucking couch I just found out.
ari shaffir
What's that?
What's that about?
Like he's trying to tell you something.
Like you're a punk?
What did I tell you?
brian redban
You know, it had a urinary infection of some kind and that's where it was from because now she's not doing it.
joe rogan
They use that as an excuse.
I think they're just like pissing on you.
Yeah, I think they get mad.
The urinary tract infection doesn't make them pee in one specific spot.
It just bothers them because they blame you.
ari shaffir
When they put like a bird on your pillow, that's them trying to give you a gift.
brian redban
Right.
ari shaffir
Yeah, exactly.
brian redban
Or in your front doorstep.
joe rogan
Yeah.
ari shaffir
They're presenting that to you and letting you know they like you.
brian redban
My other theory is that my dog has been at Varon's house for the last couple weeks.
And so the dog, when it's usually in town, just starts chasing the cat.
So I think because now that the dog's gone, the cat's like, oh yeah, I'm going to pee on where you always like to sit.
joe rogan
Oh, I see.
So wait a minute.
Are you leaving the cat alone by itself a lot?
brian redban
No, I mean, the dog's just hanging out with Varon's dog at her house so they can play together all the time.
joe rogan
Right, but are you ever at Varon's house and not at your house for extended periods of time?
brian redban
No, not more than a day or so.
joe rogan
I think that's what it is.
brian redban
But yeah, I've left them.
joe rogan
Even a day.
brian redban
I left them for weeks.
joe rogan
Yeah, but he knows the dog's not there.
ari shaffir
So he should be all lonely or weirdly lonely.
brian redban
Well, it's got two cats.
joe rogan
Don't they hate each other, though?
brian redban
No.
There's just one's a boy and one's an old lady.
unidentified
She's as old.
joe rogan
She told me the old one hates the other one, though.
ari shaffir
She's over it.
brian redban
She hates everyone.
Everyone.
She hates the dog, hates most people.
joe rogan
What a bitch.
brian redban
Yeah, fucking old cats get fucking...
Either they stay cool or they just become a psycho.
ari shaffir
When chicks get old, when they get like 45, they start hating 20-year-olds.
unidentified
That's true.
ari shaffir
Really normal.
Yeah.
joe rogan
It's in dogs, too.
unidentified
Yeah, she's stupid.
ari shaffir
Shut up, oldie.
joe rogan
Yeah.
Oh, man.
People get real angry.
Women get angry when you don't want to fuck them anymore.
It's a weird thing.
Especially if they've put like a big part of who they are.
ari shaffir
In that.
joe rogan
Yeah.
Invested in that.
The big part of their identity and people wanting to fuck them.
ari shaffir
Is that I'm hot or whatever that is.
joe rogan
Yeah.
When that shit goes away, man.
It's rough.
ari shaffir
You better cash in.
joe rogan
I would have loved to have seen, do you remember, who was that woman?
She was in Body Heat, Kathleen Turner.
Do you remember what she looked like when she was young?
ari shaffir
Yeah, what was she in?
Romance in the Stone?
joe rogan
Yes.
I think Body Heat was, or was that Sharon Stone?
Was Sharon Stone Romance in the Stone?
She was one of them.
She was the fake one with Michael Douglas.
ari shaffir
They were both the same people.
unidentified
Was it?
joe rogan
Wasn't there a fake one?
ari shaffir
The War of the Roses came later.
joe rogan
No, there was like two.
I guess I'm thinking that Romancing the Stone is like a fake Indiana Jones.
unidentified
Oh, yeah, yeah.
joe rogan
I guess that's what it is in my head.
brian redban
No, it was like a little comedy.
I just remember sliding down the legs in between the heads.
joe rogan
I feel like there was a fake one with Sharon Stone.
Like a similar...
ari shaffir
Maybe that's body heat.
joe rogan
No, no, no, no, no.
I mean like a similar sort of like romance, sort of a swashbuckler adventure type movie.
Like really similar.
brian redban
The only thing I remember else she did was Sliver.
And I was just like, oh, she was so hot and based against Stink.
And Sliver was such a letdown.
ari shaffir
I remember when I saw Total Recall that you're like, she was barely, I mean she was in it, but not like it wasn't like a main, and you're like, wait, who's that girl?
brian redban
Right.
joe rogan
She was so hot in the first Basic Instinct, but in the second one she was so gross.
ari shaffir
Really?
Why?
joe rogan
Because she was trying to be hot and sexy again.
And it was just like a bomb.
It looked like a bomb that was seconds from going off.
ari shaffir
That's the comfort level.
The shell's breaking apart.
joe rogan
That's the comfort level that you would have if you fucked her.
It would be that feeling where you were terrified that you were going to just stick your dick in her and she was just going to crumble into dust and her soul would screech away.
unidentified
Yeah!
joe rogan
She crossed her legs, she did that same crossing the legs thing, and you're like, hey, what the fuck?
Oh, this is not right!
It was like she was trying to be sexy and slinky, and there's a completely different kind of sexy that older ladies have.
They can still pull off some sexy.
Women even in their 50s can still pull off some sexy.
The graduate lady was pretty sexy, but she wasn't 50. You gotta be like, you gotta like slowly creep up on a dude and like endear yourself with your affection.
You can't like spread your legs like you're 20 anymore.
It doesn't work.
Not only does it, I gotta think of how many times have you done that?
How many times have you done that over the years?
Do you have creases on the sides of your thighs from opening your legs as wide as possible so many thousands of times a year?
Is that what the fuck's going on here?
You're 50 years old and you're showing me your pussy.
unidentified
Hey!
joe rogan
Slow down.
That's a jewel.
That's a gift.
unidentified
Does that happen?
joe rogan
Of course it happens.
Of course it happens, dude.
Of course it happens.
ari shaffir
Remember when we were in Boston at that chickopee place?
And that crazy little redneck lady was like, You want to see my tits?
joe rogan
And we're like, I know you want to see my boobs.
ari shaffir
We do not.
We do not.
We're on the record as we don't.
Well, here they are.
And they're just flying and hanging.
joe rogan
They were disgusting.
She had no idea.
She didn't know that what she was showing us was a horror show.
She didn't know.
She thought it was something sexy.
unidentified
Woo!
Look at them there, there.
There, there, right there.
ari shaffir
She had breastfed like nine children.
joe rogan
They were monstrous.
They were fat and they were flat at the same time.
They were everything that's wrong in a tit.
ari shaffir
Do you remember that?
brian redban
I barely remember.
joe rogan
I just want us to see them.
Remember we had a run out the side door?
ari shaffir
Yeah.
joe rogan
When the second show, we didn't even stick around.
There were so many knuckleheads in that crowd.
ari shaffir
Stupid fucking room.
Horrible.
Fucking packing up their Chinese food as they're on stage doing jokes.
Brown bags are stuffing them full of leftover Chinese food.
Trying to deliver the stuff you've worked on for two years.
joe rogan
Ari Shaffer, a little bit of a prima donna.
Me, I had a good time.
You wouldn't go back there, the headline, if they called you?
ari shaffir
No.
joe rogan
They'll never call you again.
unidentified
It's not a place for comedy.
joe rogan
It's not a place for comedy?
unidentified
No.
joe rogan
No, I wouldn't go back either.
ari shaffir
I stopped doing those rooms.
joe rogan
Yeah, well, it wasn't the best room.
Didn't a girl go on stage?
She just stepped right on stage.
ari shaffir
Somebody just went on stage to take a picture with me.
Okay, just take a picture, I guess.
joe rogan
I was probably the same girl.
She walked on stage in the middle of my set and wanted to take a picture.
unidentified
I'm like, bitch, get the fuck out of here.
joe rogan
What do you never see anybody outside of your neighborhood before?
Do you have all your teeth?
unidentified
Can I take a picture with you?
joe rogan
The western Massachusetts is very tricky.
Parts of it are beautiful, like Amherst, where UMass is.
Fucking gorgeous town.
Great town.
It's a cool, like, it's a really interesting place because it's really intelligent.
And, you know, because of the college, it's pretty much any college town is going to have a higher level of intellect or at least curiosity.
Cambridge, great place.
Amazing place.
But that's, you know, the city of Boston, essentially.
It's just a suburb of it.
But when you're in Boulder, perfect example.
Boulder, great town.
One of the reasons why it's a great town and so people are so smart there is because the university is there.
It always helps having a university in a town.
But god damn it doesn't make a bunch of fucking bleeding hearts too.
Bunch of liberal pussies, too.
That's the other problem.
Yeah, man.
You can't have it.
ari shaffir
Oh, yeah.
I mean, in town?
joe rogan
Yeah.
There's not a lot of manly intellectuals in those towns.
ari shaffir
Yeah.
joe rogan
It becomes really...
I don't want to say manly.
If you're fucking...
unidentified
You got too much liberal in there, you pussy.
ari shaffir
Because at a certain point, you grow up to the point where you're like, if you bump into somebody, you're like, oh, sorry, I didn't do that on purpose, did you?
Okay, cool.
Sorry about that.
You just walk away.
You don't have to fucking fight like a fucking dummy.
joe rogan
No, that's not what I mean.
What I mean is there's too many hippies.
There's too many people that don't have their shit together.
There's too many people like, man, I don't even need many men.
I just need this backpack.
Yeah.
And people start tolerating those people.
Like, dude, okay, yeah, society's not perfect.
You're right, you're right, it's not perfect.
But you can't camp here.
You can't camp in front of my house.
You've got to get the fuck out of here.
There's too much of that there.
There's too much of people who only want to look at the super liberal, super open-minded point of view.
And a really interesting, I think I already talked about this, but there was that Rick Santorum guy was doing a debate Not a debate, but a thing.
We're sitting in front of a really liberal college in New Hampshire, and he was talking, and they were talking to him about marriage.
And he's like, I think marriage is between a man and a woman.
They say, why can't it be between a man and a man?
And he goes, okay, what about this?
What about three men?
Is that still marriage?
No, no, that's different.
Who's to say?
So why can't it be three men?
ari shaffir
Why can't it be three men?
joe rogan
It's a really good point.
ari shaffir
No, but why can't it be?
brian redban
Why can't it be?
ari shaffir
It should be a lot too.
When people say, what is next?
A dog?
Like, yeah, okay.
Unless you clearly see the dog doesn't want it.
joe rogan
The dog, I don't think so because the dog can't say, yes, I do.
ari shaffir
How about a tree?
joe rogan
No.
ari shaffir
She's fine.
Why not?
joe rogan
As a union between human beings.
ari shaffir
Two people to consent.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
A loving union between human beings.
Why can't you have three?
Why can't you have four?
ari shaffir
Yeah, four or five.
unidentified
But these people were...
ari shaffir
I remember Roseanne Barr and what's his name?
Married Sandra Bernhardt, the other lady.
And Tom Arnold married somebody else.
brian redban
Oh, really?
ari shaffir
Yeah, like together they married her.
joe rogan
Oh, I don't remember that at all.
brian redban
Yeah.
joe rogan
That's interesting.
Yeah, but these people didn't want to hear it.
They're like, you know, you're being irrelevant.
He's like, why?
I'm saying it's a man and a woman.
It's been a man and a woman for thousands of years.
You're saying it should be a man and a man.
And I'm saying, why not two men?
How about two women?
Can three women get married?
Can a man marry three women?
And he's right.
Why can't they?
ari shaffir
Yeah, why not?
brian redban
They should be wine and wine.
ari shaffir
What's the problem?
unidentified
The social stigma of it should be everything.
ari shaffir
Who cares?
joe rogan
That's it.
If people look at you and go, look at this crazy asshole with his three wives.
I don't even want to hang around with him.
That should be his punishment.
ari shaffir
I don't get why you shouldn't be allowed to.
joe rogan
Yeah, exactly.
The only punishment should be, if people think it's weird, those people won't like you.
That's the only punishment.
But these people, it was really fascinating the way they were treating that dilemma in the audience.
You know, they couldn't see that.
It was just as close-minded as the people, the guy was anti-gay marriage.
It was just as close-minded.
They're like, no, you're being irrelevant.
This is pointless.
This is straw man.
Straw man argument, man.
ari shaffir
I think they should be allowed to do that stuff.
joe rogan
They totally should be allowed to do that stuff.
ari shaffir
Here's my theory on why people are against...
Changing the marriage ideas, changing gay marriage to include it.
It's because they value their type of marriage, and when you allow other people to enter it, that is not your type of marriage, the one man or one girl, it cheapens the value of what you have.
joe rogan
I would say that might be true, but if that was the case, how come nobody got mad at The Bachelor, or Who Wants to Marry a Millionaire, or any of those fucking stupid shows?
I mean, if anything...
Did devalue what marriage is.
It's drive-through marriage casinos in Vegas.
unidentified
Yeah.
ari shaffir
I'm sure they didn't like that when they heard about it.
unidentified
Yeah, but it's legal.
ari shaffir
Yeah, but that's totally legal.
joe rogan
How come you're not fighting that?
ari shaffir
You're right.
joe rogan
I mean, you could just drive into a place and Elvis can marry you in Vegas.
ari shaffir
What are they just holding on?
They're just holding on to like, it's just this way.
This is what I have in common that you don't...
It's a man and a girl.
joe rogan
It's just people are assholes.
They care about stupid shit.
Why would you care?
You know, look...
I don't give a fuck what anybody else does.
The only reason I got married is because it makes my wife feel good.
unidentified
She likes it.
ari shaffir
That's the only reason anybody gets married.
joe rogan
That's why women like it.
Women like it.
They like to be able to tell their friends they're married.
Look, I had kids with her and I'm not going anywhere.
I love it.
I'm super happy.
Written on paper or not, I'm not going anywhere, but when you see things written on paper, for some people it has this extra significance, or culturally you're allowed to say, no, we're married.
This is the level of commitment.
And the fact that you're legally entangled, even though it's a ridiculous notion to get legally entangled with a person, especially when 60% of them get divorced and have to lose all their money trying to sort out their funds.
ari shaffir
They're not going to last.
joe rogan
Yeah, most of them.
ari shaffir
The show they are not going to last.
So why should you get involved?
joe rogan
Because you love someone so much.
That's how my approach was.
I'm willing to do your ridiculous shit.
ari shaffir
Financially marry them forever?
joe rogan
Yeah.
But in looking at it that way, in just discussing it, it's all ridiculous.
All marriage is ridiculous.
What matters is, how do you feel about a person?
Do you love them?
Do you love being around them?
Do you express that?
Do you have something really special together?
unidentified
Boom!
joe rogan
It doesn't have to be written down, and a bunch of other assholes get to agree that you're legit now.
Oh, that's fucking silliness.
And so, why would gay people want it?
The only reason is for insurance purposes, so you can physically do sick ones in the hospital, loved ones.
ari shaffir
We should be able to do that with a boyfriend or girlfriend.
joe rogan
Or a best friend.
How about if you don't have a loved one, and you're my only friend in town, and if I get sick, I'll say, please contact Ari Shafir.
I don't have parents.
Ari Shafir's my best friend.
If you contact him, why can't you do that?
ari shaffir
What if you move in with a chick after like three weeks?
Then you have to go to the hospital.
You're like, fucking let her visit.
joe rogan
What are you trying to say?
Abortion?
Is that what you were leaning?
brian redban
Is gay marriage legal in Canada?
ari shaffir
Yeah.
Pretty across the board.
brian redban
Really?
ari shaffir
Yeah.
A lot of people don't know though.
joe rogan
Of course it should be legal.
Of course it's silly.
ari shaffir
But here's why.
When it devalues their marriage, I feel like it's the same as when a black person moves onto your block and it devalues the property of your home.
And that's exactly what you're sort of doing.
You're like, I don't want them here.
joe rogan
What if, you know, like Neil Tyson moved in on your neighborhood?
That doesn't devalue your home at all.
ari shaffir
You would think it would help, but it does.
joe rogan
Do you really think that would devalue it?
ari shaffir
It was Neil Tyson.
joe rogan
The really famous astrophysicist.
ari shaffir
Oh.
joe rogan
Black guy.
Brilliant.
Super genius dude.
You've never seen him?
ari shaffir
Great YouTube clips.
joe rogan
How could it?
He's a super genius.
You know how it could.
ari shaffir
Super racist.
Wouldn't know.
They drive by and go, oh.
joe rogan
And he has kids.
They assume his kids will steal.
ari shaffir
Sure.
joe rogan
Can you imagine that?
How long is that going to be around for?
brian redban
He's fighting his tongue.
joe rogan
How long is that going to be around for?
ari shaffir
We had these people move under my block.
It was a nice black family and then their kids inherited it after a while and they were a little, I don't know, wherever they were from, but they were more party people and they had a car parked in there with some bullet holes in it.
So my mom just started referring to them as the murderers.
joe rogan
The murderers?
ari shaffir
The murderers' homes.
joe rogan
They had a car with some bullet holes in it.
ari shaffir
Yeah.
joe rogan
God damn.
ari shaffir
We didn't see that in the...
joe rogan
Holy shit.
ari shaffir
Yeah.
unidentified
Wow.
joe rogan
Who shouted at them?
Did you ever ask them?
ari shaffir
No.
joe rogan
No.
ari shaffir
They didn't talk to the murderers?
unidentified
Wow.
joe rogan
Those are the murderers.
brian redban
Yeah.
ari shaffir
I mean, I didn't think they were murderers, but that's how she casually referred to them.
brian redban
That's how you were trained, though.
That was in your little head growing up.
joe rogan
It is fascinating how much, how few white people can relate to really poor black people in crime-ridden neighborhoods.
ari shaffir
It's more like District 9 than it is your life.
joe rogan
Yeah, yeah.
Dude, really bad neighborhoods.
Like, you've seen, well, especially like in Africa.
You've seen the documentaries.
You ever seen the Vice piece on Liberia?
ari shaffir
Uh-uh.
joe rogan
Dude.
ari shaffir
They just ended their war.
joe rogan
Do you want to think it's the end of the world?
Watch the Vice piece on Liberia where they're eating regular cannibalism.
Normal, regular cannibalism.
And this guy, one of the guys...
ari shaffir
This is during the war?
joe rogan
Yeah, they talk about...
It's children.
They would kill children.
They would go over there and kill the children, sacrifice them, eat their heart while they were alive, drink their blood, because it made them like...
They believed that it made them invulnerable in battle.
ari shaffir
Charles Taylor.
unidentified
Crazy.
ari shaffir
He was a crazy dictator, but nobody knows him just because his name is too normal.
Really?
unidentified
Who was he?
ari shaffir
He was that dictator in Liberia that took power.
joe rogan
Charles Taylor.
ari shaffir
It was vicious.
joe rogan
What a brilliant move, just to have a really normal sounding name.
ari shaffir
Nobody knows him.
Way worse than Gaddafi or any of these people we thought were bad.
Really?
Horrible.
joe rogan
What was his story?
ari shaffir
He led all that stuff.
joe rogan
What was his name again?
Charles what?
ari shaffir
Charles Taylor.
Oh, maybe I'm too stoned.
I better be.
joe rogan
I think that's the guy who makes Converse All-Stars?
ari shaffir
Chuck Taylor.
That's Chuck Taylor.
brian redban
It sure wasn't Dave Taylor.
joe rogan
Yeah, Liberia.
Charles Taylor.
ari shaffir
Yeah, not too stoned.
joe rogan
You got it.
You nailed it.
ari shaffir
But paranoid that I got it wrong.
joe rogan
He was the 22nd president of Liberia from 1997 until his resignation in 2003. My friends in college had to flee.
Really?
ari shaffir
Yeah.
joe rogan
Whoa.
Scary fucking place, man.
Jesus Christ, is Africa scary?
There's so many spots that are so goddamn scary.
ari shaffir
They do what they want.
brian redban
Why did your people take down Tower 7?
ari shaffir
Well, we talked about it.
After a while, we realized, you know, I may as well just take everything down.
joe rogan
I thought it was an insurance thing.
ari shaffir
An insurance thing?
Oh, yeah.
It's like, it was old.
Fucking knock it down.
You can't do anything with it.
unidentified
Is that what it is?
ari shaffir
Top two gone.
Just knock it down.
joe rogan
You just decided it'd be better if it was a total loss?
ari shaffir
Yeah, they probably ran it like a slump.
joe rogan
Could you imagine if you actually did have buildings already set up?
If every building was set up with explosives?
ari shaffir
So at any point they could just...
joe rogan
Yeah, so you don't have to rig it.
That was like a thing.
Well, when you want to get your building demolished, here's a good thing.
You just press this button and the building goes away.
And you just have to hire some monkeys to fucking pick up the pieces.
ari shaffir
Yeah.
joe rogan
Imagine if that's how they did every building.
They couldn't because everybody would be like, people would be just trying to blow up every building.
ari shaffir
Was there another plane that was supposed to go that way?
joe rogan
Supposedly.
ari shaffir
When was that going to happen?
They knocked it off too fast.
joe rogan
Well, I mean, there was a bunch of planes.
One of them that got shot down that was supposedly, they don't know where that was headed.
They might have been headed for the White House.
ari shaffir
Yeah, that's what they said was headed south, though.
joe rogan
That was 93. That was the one that they said that the people brought it down.
Yeah.
That's rolled.
Yeah, but...
Not...
Yeah, Rumsfeld actually made a mistake in an interview and said it got shot down.
ari shaffir
Really?
joe rogan
Yeah.
He said, you know, in 93, they shot down 93, Flight 93. He, like, said it before.
Really?
And there's a lot of people that are positive that it was shot down because of how far the debris was.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
The debris went as far as, like, seven miles from where...
ari shaffir
And so it was just going...
joe rogan
Yeah, and then they made that, you know, that whole story, that let's roll thing.
ari shaffir
I've heard that before, and my thought on that was like, that'd be okay if they shut that down.
joe rogan
Yeah.
ari shaffir
Like, clearly, by the other three, like, it's gonna be...
It's going to fly into something.
You have to shoot it down.
It's a tough choice, but you've got to do that.
joe rogan
There were eyewitnesses that said that they saw fighter jets.
Who knows?
Either way, it's horrific if they crashed.
It's horrific if it got shot down.
But somehow or another, people want to know about the mystery.
The mystery of what happened.
ari shaffir
Do you think as they were starting to hijack, someone was in mid-conversation going, Do you know they checked my bag?
They checked the whole fucking bag.
unidentified
Okay.
brian redban
No, because it was pre-9-11.
unidentified
They didn't check things as much.
joe rogan
They're probably still too much security for a lot of people.
Some people were probably upset.
My take on it is when Bush told the whole story, the whole let's roll story, that the guy said, let's roll, as they got out and they were going to go fight the terrorists and they brought the plane down.
My bullshit alarm was hit.
like that's a little too honorable it was like ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding my bullshit alarm was just going off I was like, this is a story.
ari shaffir
I have no idea, but it does sound like a great story.
joe rogan
This is like Jessica Lynch.
Remember they had that story where they said that they had rescued her in a hail of gunfire because she was being imprisoned by the Iraqis and they saved her, this brave, pretty girl.
When it turns out she was actually in a hospital, there was no gunfire at all.
ari shaffir
Oh, yeah.
joe rogan
It was horseshit.
They made up a horseshit story.
And she came out public with it.
And people gave her death threats because she went against the story.
Yeah.
Oh, dude, she got a lot of death threats.
ari shaffir
What was the story?
joe rogan
Her story was quite simple.
There was some sort of a firefight or some sort of a military incident where she was injured.
She was brought into a hospital.
They came and got her from the hospital, and they brought her back home.
ari shaffir
Okay.
joe rogan
That's her story.
That's what really happened.
What the United States said was that they had to go and rescue her.
And they went in guns blazing to go get one of our own.
ari shaffir
And that didn't happen?
joe rogan
That did not happen.
ari shaffir
What did happen?
Just that?
joe rogan
Just they went and got her at the hospital.
ari shaffir
Oh.
joe rogan
They went to the hospital, got her, brought her home.
ari shaffir
She was in a local hospital.
joe rogan
She was in a hospital in Iraq.
And they concocted a crazy story pretending that they had rescued her.
ari shaffir
But they got there and they were like, Americans, here she is.
joe rogan
And then another example is that football player.
What the fuck's his name?
ari shaffir
Pat.
brian redban
Maybe somebody in Human Resources is really gay and he's just like, oh my god, they went in there and they just destroyed everything.
He just writes these press releases that are just over-examined.
It might be just a guy.
joe rogan
I'm sure it's one person and one group actually gets to decide what the story would be.
But the point of it is there's...
ari shaffir
Pat's almost friendly fire, right?
But they made him a hero first?
joe rogan
Yeah, they made him a hero first.
I think it's normal for them.
It's standard operational procedure for them to lie.
So anytime they get a situation to bullshit and spin the truth, it seems to be the precedent.
It seems to be what they do.
Whenever there's some sort of a situation and then they tell you a story, you can't prove that the let's roll is not real.
ari shaffir
Why did it have to go down?
That's what I always wondered.
If they took over the plane, why did it go down?
unidentified
Because they fought bitterly like Americans.
joe rogan
We're going to die!
We're going to die!
Pow and pow!
I don't know, man.
I don't want to believe that they would lie that much.
But I do believe that they would shoot out a jet.
ari shaffir
That they could, though.
joe rogan
If they thought it was coming to the White House, they would shoot that jet down.
ari shaffir
I think you should.
joe rogan
I think you probably should, too.
It's going to kill the people anyway.
It's like you're making a decision.
People can't take control of the jet.
ari shaffir
It's a tough decision, but they've just had three attacks.
They can't talk to this plane.
They have no communication with it.
It's going out of where it's supposed to fly.
joe rogan
Yeah.
See if you can pull up the audio.
Pull up the audio of Donald Rumsfeld, Flight 93 Shot Down.
Just pull up that.
Donald Rumsfeld, Flight 93 Shot Down.
I think it's on YouTube.
Of course, it could have also been a slip.
I fuck up all the time.
I'll say to you, I'll say, Brian, why'd you do that?
He called Ari Brian.
I'll be like, no, I didn't.
Because you don't even realize you did.
ari shaffir
Rumsfeld's in the military, too, right?
joe rogan
What's that?
ari shaffir
He served in the military at some point?
joe rogan
Rumsfeld?
No.
ari shaffir
Never?
Really?
I thought all those old guys did it.
joe rogan
They're all chicken hawks.
No, no, that's the thing about all of them.
unidentified
If the people who bombed the best ball in Mosley, or the people who did the bombing in Spain, or the people who attacked the United States in New York, shot down the plane over Pennsylvania and attacked the Pentagon...
joe rogan
Shot down the plane over Pennsylvania.
ari shaffir
No, because he's referring to the people who did the bad things.
joe rogan
Yeah, that sounds like he was saying brought down the plane, like shot down.
Yeah, like they brought it down, they died.
ari shaffir
But he was talking about the bad people.
They wouldn't be the ones who would have shot it down anyway.
joe rogan
Yeah, that's a bad video.
Okay, so now we know.
He didn't really say that.
brian redban
I smoked moth poop today.
ari shaffir
By accident?
brian redban
There was this huge moth about this big that's been outside of my back patio for the last couple of days and it hasn't moved like a word at all.
So I've been looking at it every day.
A word?
I mean, hasn't moved at all.
I don't know what I was trying to say there.
joe rogan
Hasn't moved a word at all.
brian redban
Yeah.
But it was really cool because it's fur.
Like there's like a little patch that had like cheetah.
Chia?
Yeah.
Like a cheetah?
Oh, I see like the pattern was like cheetah and then there was like these weird parts that look like almost like feathers of like an owl It was just really weird like looking at it every day And then today I shut the door really hard and it fell down and it just started vibrating for about ten minutes Like it wasn't dead It was just vibrating.
So I'm just sitting there looking at it, and then it shits out this orange, fluorescent orange thing.
I think it was shit, but it was fluorescent orange.
It looked really weird.
It didn't look real.
And then it flew away out of nowhere.
So I'm sitting there like, what the fuck is that orange stuff?
Is it shit?
joe rogan
It flew away.
brian redban
Yeah.
joe rogan
So it fell on the ground, had an epileptic seizure, shit all over itself, and then flew away.
brian redban
It just shit out like a super, super small little bubble of fluorescent orange shit.
And so I'm sitting there playing with it with a match stick, and I'm just looking at the orange shit, and I put it on the end of my cigarette and smoked it.
I don't know why I did it.
Just to see what would happen.
joe rogan
You got a real problem, buddy.
brian redban
It was weird looking.
It was orange.
joe rogan
See, people are thinking there's a show on March 3rd, you fuck.
People keep saying, Mark 3rd, the New York...
Fucked up on the calendar.
It's May, ladies and gentlemen.
For people asking about...
There is a March 3rd show in Brea, California, but we had it listed as March 3rd and 4th, or whatever the fuck it was, in New York City.
And it's not.
New York City's May, so I apologize for that.
ari shaffir
What's the venue you're doing?
joe rogan
I don't know.
Some theater.
What is it, Brian?
Do you know?
unidentified
No, I don't know.
joe rogan
Well, there's a UFC on Fox in New Jersey.
brian redban
Manhattan Center.
joe rogan
So we're at the Manhattan Center.
And then at the Tabernacle in Atlanta on 420. Oh, shit!
Crazy.
I'm trying to do my special there.
I'm just trying to organize it as quickly as possible.
ari shaffir
It's on April 20th, too?
joe rogan
Yeah.
ari shaffir
I mean, it's like I have to.
joe rogan
I feel like I have to.
ari shaffir
Yeah.
joe rogan
I feel like I have to.
ari shaffir
Yeah, why not?
You should do that.
And all the people will be there, right?
joe rogan
I think that's what Doug Benson does every year.
ari shaffir
What, tapes a special every year on 420?
joe rogan
Yeah, I think he tapes a CD on 420, you know?
ari shaffir
Yeah.
joe rogan
No one is more like marijuana connected.
It's inexorable.
It's inexorable.
You can't pull the marijuana from Doug.
You can't recognize where does Doug end and the marijuana begin?
ari shaffir
Yeah.
joe rogan
Where does the marijuana begin and Doug end?
You know what I mean?
unidentified
Yeah.
brian redban
This last time, that last Ice House, he seriously, from the beginning to the end, did not stop.
Packing bowl, smoking, packing bowl, smoking.
ari shaffir
Whenever people ask Doug Benson, are you good?
I'm like, would you just give him another pipe, please?
brian redban
What are you talking about?
joe rogan
Let him start refusing you.
What's really crazy is there's a conspiracy that he doesn't really smoke weed.
Because I guess he got on some show somewhere and gave a half-hearted bong hit.
And they're like, he's not!
ari shaffir
He's a fake!
joe rogan
He's a fake stoner!
ari shaffir
That is completely not right.
joe rogan
Remember Donald Sutherland in Invasion of Body Snatchers when he found the woman at the end?
He pointed her out.
Remember that?
ari shaffir
I don't think I saw that.
joe rogan
Well, it's like everybody had become one of the aliens.
They had been taken over by the body snatchers.
But a few people stayed awake and were surviving by figuring out how to stay awake.
And this woman came up to Donald Sutherland because they were in the resistance together.
And she was like, I finally got free.
Everything's fine.
And he looked at me and went, because he had been taken over.
brian redban
I never saw that movie.
joe rogan
Invasion of the Body Snatchers, dude.
brian redban
Is that a zombie movie?
joe rogan
No, it's an alien movie.
unidentified
These pods, dude, it's dope.
joe rogan
Invasion of the Body Snatchers with Donald Sutherland is a fucking great movie.
They did it with, not Meg Tilly?
Yeah, Meg Tilly or Jennifer Tilly.
I think it was Meg Tilly.
Meg Tilly was the real kind of innocent one and Jennifer Tilly was kind of like the dirtier one.
ari shaffir
The ditzy one, yeah.
joe rogan
Ditzy and dirty.
ari shaffir
She plays poker.
joe rogan
I think it was Meg, yeah.
She's apparently like a serious pro, right?
ari shaffir
Yeah.
brian redban
We met her in Open Anthony.
joe rogan
Yeah, yeah.
She was cool.
But Meg Tilly was her sister and her sister was the star of the, there was a more modern version I remember getting a little action movie-y.
It wasn't as good as the first one.
The Donald Sutherland one is the shit.
That's back when Donald Sutherland was just a...
Fucking killer actor, too.
And he still is.
ari shaffir
Animal House.
joe rogan
Yeah.
Donald Sutherland was fucking awesome, man.
That Evasion of the Biostanters.
I forgot about that.
I'm going to see that this week.
That's a good one, man.
brian redban
I wonder if it's on Netflix.
joe rogan
I saw...
What did I go see the other night?
I saw that...
Oh, I saw the Wolf movie.
ari shaffir
Which one?
The Grey?
Oh, The Grey.
brian redban
How is it?
joe rogan
It was fun.
It was fun.
But it made it out like wolves are just jacking people left and right up there.
He was hired to shoot wolves, and the wolves were like, We're running at people, full clip, and he would take them out like it was a sniper.
That's one of the openings, which never happens, man.
Wolves don't just run on people so often that you need a guy with a rifle who's a sniper picking the wolves off.
That's not real.
It was weird because he saves a guy.
Wolves were like monsters in this movie.
They weren't like wolves.
He took wolves and gave them some unnatural pack of wolves.
They behaved completely unnatural.
So it was like...
It was part of it that was hard to swallow.
I would have liked it if they were diseased.
I would have liked it if it turned out that they had got some fucking crazy radiation.
ari shaffir
Human experiment.
joe rogan
Yeah.
That makes sense.
But instead, they try to play it off like these wolves are killing people.
Wolves have only killed like 100 people ever in the history of humanity.
ari shaffir
Really?
joe rogan
Yeah.
There's like a website.
There's a Wikipedia, but there's also another website that documents wolf human deaths.
And a big majority of them, I believe, are in Russia.
I think in Russia it's more common.
They got meaner people up there and meaner wolves.
They got more badass people.
ari shaffir
I can imagine seeing a wolf attack and a guy being killed and he would have to yell, like, this is far rarer than you could imagine.
joe rogan
Yeah.
Well, it's super rare.
A woman died, like, I think in 2005 or something like that.
ari shaffir
A wolf attack?
joe rogan
In Alaska, but she was running.
And I think if you fuck up and you just run by a wolf in the wrong time, they can't help but chase you.
ari shaffir
Right, like a dog.
joe rogan
Just like a cat with a ball of yarn.
They say that's a big part of mountain lion attacks, is people are jogging or people are riding bikes, and they just can't help it.
The mountain lion thinks they're running away.
brian redban
Which is the next operating system from, by the way, they announced today.
unidentified
Mountain lion?
brian redban
Mountain lion, which is so weird.
ari shaffir
Mountain lion.
brian redban
It seems like they're getting to the bottom of the barrel of cats.
joe rogan
Yeah, what's up with Apple and the whole cat thing?
ari shaffir
Why are the cat operating systems?
brian redban
It's just like Android with all their little names.
They're just...
ari shaffir
They should name it after endangered species and see which product or animal gets extinct first.
joe rogan
Yeah, or name it after something smart as fuck.
brian redban
Well, cats are big on the internet.
joe rogan
Like chimpanzee.
Why can't that be?
You know, Mac OS 20, chimpanzee.
They're going to have to leave cats.
ari shaffir
Maybe that'll be 20 from then on.
joe rogan
You know what they'll do?
They're just genetic engineering.
brian redban
Yeah, because cats are pretty to look at.
I don't want to see monkeys.
joe rogan
I love chimpanzees.
brian redban
I turn on my computer and see a big ape.
joe rogan
Really?
brian redban
I don't want to see that.
joe rogan
How dare you?
brian redban
It's like looking at a guy naked.
I'd rather see a cat.
joe rogan
Really?
brian redban
Yeah.
joe rogan
Dude, I love looking at chimps.
You don't like looking at chimps?
No.
It's weird, though.
ari shaffir
Do you think of it that way?
joe rogan
You're so far removed from the animal side.
unidentified
No, no.
brian redban
I mean, if I go to the zoo, I love looking at monkeys and apes.
joe rogan
You're a computer, you don't like it?
brian redban
Yeah, if I see it every day, I don't want to look at monkeys every day.
joe rogan
But a cat's okay.
brian redban
Yeah, I can see cats all day long.
joe rogan
I could look at tigers almost every day, because to me, they're like Avatar.
brian redban
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
joe rogan
A tiger really is like an Avatar creature.
If tigers didn't exist and it was in the movie Avatar...
ari shaffir
It's so gigantic.
joe rogan
The colors are spectacular.
The whites and the black stripes and the yellow and orange.
Tigers are amazing looking.
Why would nature ever want you to be so beautiful and so fucking vicious?
ari shaffir
That's other animals' ways of watching out for the tiger, protecting themselves.
unidentified
Maybe.
ari shaffir
He got handicapped a little bit.
joe rogan
Yeah, maybe.
This guy's so badass, we've got to make him really bright.
brian redban
But gorillas should be bright then, if that was the same thing.
joe rogan
Gorillas don't kill people, very rarely.
They kill people if people fuck up and jog over a nest or something like that.
But for the most part, gorillas are vegetarians.
Yeah, they eat bamboo and shit.
They don't even eat animals.
ari shaffir
What do you think about this Virginia stuff with abortion?
unidentified
Pfft.
joe rogan
Fucking crazy, man.
ari shaffir
They're making it illegal, pretty much.
joe rogan
Yeah.
ari shaffir
They're trying to.
joe rogan
Well, have you heard the thing about ultrasounds?
ari shaffir
Yeah.
They're saying that you have to get an ultrasound before you have any sort of procedure.
joe rogan
Yeah, they want you to look at it.
They want you to recognize that that's a life form.
ari shaffir
Somebody said that, one of the Democrats in there said something like, this is the first time that we have ever dictated...
Like a medical procedure.
joe rogan
Yeah.
ari shaffir
That we're commanding a medical procedure.
joe rogan
I'm definitely...
ari shaffir
It's a weird line to cross.
joe rogan
It's a total weird line to cross because you're making a decision for the person.
You're deciding, hey, you have to do the...
They know they could get an ultrasound if they wanted to.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
They know they can see it.
ari shaffir
You're making them?
joe rogan
Yeah.
You're making them look at it.
That doesn't make sense to me.
That doesn't...
I don't see why you would make him...
ari shaffir
I need you to feel this one more time before you do it.
joe rogan
Yeah.
We know what's going on here.
The real issue is what's going on here.
What's going on here is you're killing a baby.
ari shaffir
Yeah.
Well, one guy said it because the only reason it's legal, one of the Republicans, the only reason it's legal is because it's for convenience.
joe rogan
Yeah.
ari shaffir
And I was like, yeah, that's true.
That's what we've decided as a society.
joe rogan
Yeah.
ari shaffir
We'll let that go.
joe rogan
Yeah, it's a weird line, right, though?
Because at a certain age, you can't do it anymore.
When it's like six months old, it's too crazy.
ari shaffir
But that's what we do all the time.
That's why we raise the speed limit, five miles an hour, when you know this is going to mean more deaths this year.
joe rogan
Dude, I had a friend back in New York who, his girl got a late-term abortion.
ari shaffir
Really?
unidentified
Late.
joe rogan
Like, really late.
Like, it was illegal.
ari shaffir
Does he still have the number?
joe rogan
I don't...
It was really crazy because she was showing.
ari shaffir
Really?
unidentified
Whoa!
joe rogan
Yeah, she was showing and she had an abortion.
It's fucking dark, man.
It was dark.
And they went on to have children together, which is even crazier.
They went on to have children together.
But at the time, I was really freaked out by it.
Really freaked out.
Because I don't remember how many months it was in, but it was enough where, you know, they told me.
I was like, oh, shit.
Like, this is dark, man.
You know, it's...
ari shaffir
I think I should be allowed to.
joe rogan
You should be allowed what?
ari shaffir
To do that, too.
joe rogan
What do you mean?
ari shaffir
Late-term abortions.
joe rogan
You should be allowed to do them?
ari shaffir
Yeah.
No, no.
As a doctor?
unidentified
I mean, like, get them.
joe rogan
Oh, you should be able to get them?
ari shaffir
Yeah.
brian redban
You're crazy.
joe rogan
Wow.
ari shaffir
It's the same thing.
brian redban
There's no reason for that.
ari shaffir
It's life.
Clearly, at some point, it's like, this life's going to continue.
brian redban
No, I think whatever it is right now is fine.
I think that's enough time for you to find out that you're pregnant and you need to either make the decision yes or no.
But I think anything after that, that's just laziness.
ari shaffir
After what?
brian redban
Like late-term abortions.
ari shaffir
What month is that?
brian redban
I think three.
Is that what it is?
Is it the longest you can go?
ari shaffir
No, I think it's late-term.
It's six and on.
brian redban
No, I'm saying what it is now.
joe rogan
Think of that in six months.
Think of six months.
Jesus Christ, that's a baby.
ari shaffir
I would still want to do it at four.
brian redban
That's crazy.
See, to me, that's just disturbing.
ari shaffir
Why is that crazy?
It's all human life.
It's very clearly human life.
brian redban
I see the difference between it being a father.
joe rogan
Let me be real with you here.
Part of what you're saying, you're kind of being objective about it, and you're being honest about it, but part of what you're saying is a little bit for shock value.
ari shaffir
No, four months?
You can't even see a bulge at that point.
joe rogan
Oh, yes, you can.
ari shaffir
At four months?
joe rogan
Yes, you can.
brian redban
Have you ever been to the science museum?
Go look at four months.
ari shaffir
So, but three months you can't, but four months you can?
That's the exact line?
joe rogan
No, I think three months you can as well.
ari shaffir
Look this up.
joe rogan
I think three months you can as well.
ari shaffir
So then you can see it's still okay to do it then?
joe rogan
Okay, let's look at fetus.
I think it's remarkably soon that you could tell it's a person.
brian redban
Have you seen a baby's butthole before?
joe rogan
Fetus butthole.
unidentified
Oh, Brian.
joe rogan
Oh, Brian.
ari shaffir
So when would you think it should be illegal?
As soon as you could see any sort of bulge?
joe rogan
Yeah, look at this.
Three months, dude.
ari shaffir
But that's what you're saying?
That's when you think it should be gone?
joe rogan
This is three weeks.
I mean, this is 13 weeks.
That's a baby, man.
It's a fucking baby.
ari shaffir
No, I meant...
brian redban
It's sucking its thumb at three months.
See, that's two.
ari shaffir
No, I meant, like, can you see it through the stomach?
Can you see a bulge in the woman's stomach?
joe rogan
That is...
brian redban
No, I wouldn't say that.
ari shaffir
You're just showing me a picture of it.
I don't know how much blown that up it is.
joe rogan
Maybe, I think, for different...
Some women, yeah.
Yeah.
ari shaffir
So, okay, you're saying that's too far.
joe rogan
That's an actual...
ari shaffir
That's too far.
And it's like, how far back...
joe rogan
That's an ultrasound, by the way.
That's not a real image.
This is a real image.
This is an image of what it's represented.
This is what it looks like.
ari shaffir
Yeah, it's a human life.
joe rogan
Yeah.
ari shaffir
But it's a human life almost immediately.
You're saying with our current microscopic...
Like abilities, as soon as you can make it out, based on that, that's where it should be illegal?
That's where it's life?
joe rogan
Well, it's interesting.
That's a really good question.
ari shaffir
That's so random.
joe rogan
It is a really good question.
But at what point in time does it become a life?
Does it become a life when it's two cells?
No.
Is it 20 cells?
No.
ari shaffir
I think as soon as it can start moving on its own, it can start leading to life.
Then it's like life.
joe rogan
But it's life inside you, man.
When you have children, when your wife is pregnant, or if you ever have a girl that's pregnant, you touch her stomach when the baby's only a few months old, they start kicking, man.
ari shaffir
So it's when you can feel it through the stomach skin?
joe rogan
I mean, that's a living thing inside of her.
ari shaffir
But before you can feel it, like the week before you can feel it, that's not a living thing?
joe rogan
No, it's still living.
ari shaffir
Because it's not quite strong enough to get through the skin layer?
joe rogan
No, it's moving.
I'm saying it's a living thing.
Yeah.
ari shaffir
It's living way before that.
joe rogan
But you don't know that it's moving around until you start feeling it moving around.
So it's when you can feel it.
ari shaffir
That's what you think?
With a human hand, you should feel through the skin?
joe rogan
I'm just saying early on, it's moving.
Long before this late-term abortion shit, it's moving.
I don't know when you should be able to draw a line, but it's a philosophical and a moral question, right?
It's like, at what time does it become a life?
And no one has really wrapped their head around that, but for a lot of liberal people, they don't even want to address the argument.
It becomes more of you trying to take away a woman's right to choose.
ari shaffir
Well, look at their names, the two.
They're not even against each other.
One is pro-life, the other is not anti-life.
And one is pro-choice, and the other one is not against people having choices.
joe rogan
Yeah, but it's the choice to kill you.
That's my choice.
ari shaffir
Yeah, but they're like ones pro-life, ones pro-life.
They're not even talking about the same things.
joe rogan
Sort of they are, though.
ari shaffir
It should be ones pro-life, ones pro-death.
joe rogan
What's really crazy is that most pro-life people are also pro-war.
ari shaffir
Really?
joe rogan
It's one of the funniest things ever, man.
It's the weirdest thing ever.
The numbers are staggering.
How many people are concerned about the babies and how many people are out there.
And they're the same people that support the war.
They're the same people that would be happy to support the troops.
More babies need more troops.
You ever drive by one of those, a bunch of groups of fucking weirdos, get on the corner with flags and big signs.
Honk if you support our troops.
How is this helping anybody?
unidentified
At all.
joe rogan
Is this boosting morale for people who aren't really there?
Is it for the random soldier or two that may be getting shipped off and gets to see this before they leave?
What is this for?
What kind of rah-rah-rah dedication is this?
ari shaffir
What do you think this is?
joe rogan
People, they'll get mad at you if you don't honk.
I've seen, there was on the corner about three or four miles away from here, there was this one intersection that was like a hot intersection for some reason for gay marriage folks, people that were anti-gay marriage, and people that were into the war.
Same corner.
Remember that Proposition 8 shit when that was going down?
They were all just lined up.
Marriage is between a man and a woman.
God does not.
Fucking quoting psalms and shit and holding it up.
Honk if you believe marriage is for a man and a woman.
And the other time was this war thing.
And people were fucking screaming at them.
People screaming at each other.
Get the fuck out of America!
There was several times where I drove by where people in cars were screaming at the people on the street and they were screaming back and forth at each other.
brian redban
They should just arrest them because it's against the law for you to honk your horn.
So telling people to honk your horn.
ari shaffir
How can it be against the law to honk your horn?
brian redban
It is.
joe rogan
Why do you have a horn?
brian redban
It's only for emergencies in a car.
ari shaffir
No way.
brian redban
You can get a ticket for honking your horn for no reason.
joe rogan
Really?
For no reason?
How do you know it's no reason?
Maybe you saw some shit.
unidentified
I saw some shit.
brian redban
I saw five deer.
joe rogan
I thought I saw some shit.
ari shaffir
What's the reason?
joe rogan
Did you see that guy that was coming?
unidentified
No, the other lane.
joe rogan
The guy that was coming towards me?
There's something wrong with his headlight.
brian redban
Yeah.
But still, it's telling you to do something illegal and people are holding signs up for you.
ari shaffir
Is that really illegal?
I feel like that's one of those myths.
joe rogan
I feel like you should be able to like drive through an intersection and honk at your friends Can you do that?
brian redban
I think one of those things where it's like it's illegal But no one's ever going to take it for it unless you've started just honking your horn for no reason if you saw someone in the corner And there's a cop there and you are better.
joe rogan
What's up?
You know do you think yeah?
No, you get arrested for that?
brian redban
I would say get arrested but get ticket get fine probably or a warning most likely We got too many rules There's way too many.
joe rogan
If that really is a law, that's pathetic.
ari shaffir
I don't know if it is.
joe rogan
Yeah, I mean, you shouldn't be a cunt.
You shouldn't be blaring your fucking horn everywhere, but there shouldn't be a law against it.
There's a really interesting video online.
It was taken in Nevada, where some dude went through a sobriety checkpoint and wouldn't answer any of the questions.
ari shaffir
Oh, I remember that.
joe rogan
Did you see it?
ari shaffir
Yeah.
He goes, I know my rights.
I roll down your window, please.
He goes, no, is that a direct command or not?
And the guy's like, please roll down your window.
He's like, no, I will not.
We just kept standing there like a visible bang.
joe rogan
There's actually a few of those videos online.
When a cop says, I want to check your car, you don't have to say yes.
You say no.
ari shaffir
They always say, can I? Yeah, they say it in an asking manner.
Ma'am, can you please open the car door?
unidentified
Ma'am, can you pop the trunk, please?
joe rogan
You know they say, alright, we're going to check your car, okay?
That okay in the end is really important.
Because you go, oh no.
No, you're not going to check my car.
Alright, we're going to bring the dogs.
Go get your dogs.
ari shaffir
Is that what you need to do?
joe rogan
Some weird dude checking my trunk.
ari shaffir
Yeah, they have to ask in a way that's asking.
They can't say, open up the trunk.
joe rogan
Yeah, they can't say that.
brian redban
The problem is they'll just get the dog and then they have the somebody to tell the dog to make the dog bark and go, yep, alright, we're checking your car now.
joe rogan
How many times do you think cops actually plant evidence?
Do you think that's normal?
brian redban
I don't think they plant evidence.
ari shaffir
Oh, they do.
brian redban
I mean, for the majority, I'm sure they have planted evidence, but I don't think there's fucking cops planting evidence.
ari shaffir
A humongous majority has never planted any evidence.
brian redban
I mean, if you watch cops, everyone says the cop is planting evidence, but you know that fucking guy's just...
ari shaffir
There's a camera on me.
Why would I do that now?
joe rogan
Do you remember that movie, Cocaine Cowboys?
Do you remember that movie?
That was the movie, the documentary about the 80s in Miami and how fucking crazy the cocaine world was.
Do you remember that shit?
One of the things they talked about was that there was one year where an entire class of the police academy, the graduating class, all of them either wound up dead or dead.
Or wound up in jail for corruption.
ari shaffir
Really?
joe rogan
The whole police department was full of shit.
ari shaffir
I bet it becomes systemic after a while.
joe rogan
Yeah.
ari shaffir
Where they all just tell the other ones, this is how we do stuff.
I'm like, alright, this is the way it's done.
joe rogan
Especially the amount of money that's involved in cocaine in Miami in the 80s.
It must have been fucking completely crazy.
There's a lot of good cops.
Most cops are good cops.
The problem is, look, most people are great.
Most people that I meet day to day in my life are fine folk.
There's only occasionally one or two people out of the vast majority that suck.
And those stand out and you go, oh, fucking people suck.
But for the most part, look, in America, in a nice place like Los Angeles, where people are doing pretty good, for the most part, we're not starving to death.
People are pretty goddamn nice.
It's pretty civil.
Most people are cool.
The majority, the vast majority are cool.
But if a few of them are cunts, you'll start going, people are cunts.
unidentified
Same thing with cops.
joe rogan
Some do, but some don't at all.
What I was going to say about the video where the cop was talking to the guy and the guy wouldn't answer any questions, one of the things that was interesting about it was how fucking together the cops were keeping him while this guy was being kind of shitty.
I was like, I guess they knew they were being filmed or something.
ari shaffir
Yeah.
joe rogan
There was a little bit of that too because he had a camera and he held it up to them asking them what their name was.
ari shaffir
Wait, the cop held them together?
joe rogan
Yeah, they had two cops.
His supervisor came over as well.
ari shaffir
Yeah.
joe rogan
But they're just trying to make sure people aren't drunk.
ari shaffir
I love when they get caught with the camera that's in their own car.
They're like, you know that's there.
joe rogan
Yeah, they're dumb.
ari shaffir
And it's like, do you get so complacent that you just feel like what you're doing is right?
joe rogan
They feel like they're going to be able to erase the evidence.
ari shaffir
How old is this stuff?
unidentified
I don't know.
joe rogan
It's probably a decade old.
ari shaffir
A decade old.
joe rogan
Do you think it works?
ari shaffir
Yeah, it tastes shitty.
joe rogan
It tastes shitty, but do you think it's getting you high?
ari shaffir
Probably.
I'm still pretty high.
joe rogan
There's a place down the street that used to be one of those urgent care centers, and now it's a medical marijuana place.
ari shaffir
Really?
Not so urgent care.
unidentified
They're like, yeah, there wasn't a lot of money in that.
joe rogan
Now they prescribe weed licenses.
There's so many of those billboards where you're driving around.
People who don't live in LA have no idea what the fuck is going on here.
This place is crazy.
There is maybe Denver.
Denver is really close.
Denver is just like this.
ari shaffir
Really?
joe rogan
There's a bunch of areas in Denver.
ari shaffir
Across the street from the pharmacy is a place that opened.
Like they're opening across from each other.
joe rogan
Across from each other.
It's ridiculous.
It's one of the craziest things you'll ever experience in your life.
And it's one of the reasons why so many of them are getting shut down.
What people don't realize is how many of them there are.
When you hear about all these pot shops are getting shut down, it's terrible that pot shops are getting shut down.
Absolutely.
It's terrible they're being prosecuted, especially the people that didn't even do anything wrong.
There's a bunch of people that are being unfairly targeted, but there's also a bunch of dudes who are making a shitload of money selling weed.
They would have been in porn.
ari shaffir
There's some people that are like, you can't even open a shoe store without filling paperwork out.
But they're like, nah, fuck it, we're selling weed.
And you're like, you can't do...
That doesn't give you a license to just do nothing.
joe rogan
Like our douchey friend that we were talking about that left his job and now is making tons of money selling weed.
He's no shining light of psychedelic love.
He's a cunt.
ari shaffir
He's a farmer.
joe rogan
That's what he's doing.
ari shaffir
He's a farmer.
joe rogan
He's a farmer.
brian redban
What's cool is that place that's next to the ice house, you can actually rent a space and grow weed there.
ari shaffir
Oh, yeah.
brian redban
And they give you all the chemicals and all the shit there.
ari shaffir
That's like a real co-op, right?
brian redban
Yeah.
So it's like a place where you just rent and grow your own shit.
unidentified
Oh, wow.
ari shaffir
Like community gardens, but only for weed gardens.
joe rogan
That's so dope.
Welcome to America.
Yeah, we're going to have to have those guys come on the show.
But I don't know if they want to go publicly.
ari shaffir
Which guys?
joe rogan
The guys from that place.
From that community garden.
ari shaffir
Oh, right.
joe rogan
The guys that run that place.
We'll have them come on with anonymous masks.
ari shaffir
Yeah, you ask them.
It's like, do you want to do it?
Here's what it entails.
joe rogan
Yeah, I wouldn't do it if I was them.
I'd want to stay as low-key as possible.
ari shaffir
I asked an owner I know of, would you break down everything?
He goes, no, no, no, I couldn't.
No, I don't want to call that kind of attention to me.
joe rogan
Yeah, you don't want anybody looking at you as the target.
ari shaffir
That guy from Oxardam in Oakland, he doesn't mind.
He likes being a public spokesman.
joe rogan
Yeah, but I mean, haven't they gone after him a bunch of times?
ari shaffir
Probably.
joe rogan
I think there's a big issue right now with what they're allowed to write off.
Like, it's not like a regular business.
They're not allowed to write off the rent.
ari shaffir
But they won't take taxes from the sale, I thought.
That's what we're just trying to make it legal so they can take taxes, but they don't already?
joe rogan
Well, they must be taking some taxes from medical weed.
I think it's a huge form of tax revenue, isn't it?
Medical weed?
ari shaffir
I know they said, on their own, they said, we're going to pay taxes.
joe rogan
Let's find out.
Medical marijuana...
unidentified
Taxation?
joe rogan
Tax revenue?
brian redban
What about him?
ari shaffir
Are they now paying tax because they have to, or are they just doing it because they volunteer?
joe rogan
Let's find out.
ari shaffir
Volunteer still?
joe rogan
Voters approve it.
Okay, so they had to approve it.
This is what it is.
Voters had to approve marijuana tax revenue measure.
60% of voters decided Tuesday to honor Measure M, a citywide ballot measure that imposes new taxes on the sales of medical marijuana at brick-and-mortar dispensaries.
ari shaffir
Brick-and-mortar dispensaries.
joe rogan
$50 out of each $1,000 in gross reimbursements.
So that's 5%.
ari shaffir
$50 out of $1,000?
Yeah.
joe rogan
Isn't it?
ari shaffir
That's 5%.
joe rogan
Yeah.
ari shaffir
So how much will they already get?
5% is what their tax is?
joe rogan
That's pretty good.
ari shaffir
The sales tax is $8.25.
joe rogan
That's on top of that, I think.
ari shaffir
Oh, really?
joe rogan
I think there's a city tax.
I think it's a marijuana, Los Angeles marijuana tax.
Whatever, man.
Pay the tax.
You're getting to make a fucking shitload of money and you're spreading that love.
ari shaffir
Pay the tax.
joe rogan
That's what I would say.
They're making plenty of money.
ari shaffir
Yeah, they are.
Lower your prices a little bit, West Hollywood.
Lower your prices a little bit.
joe rogan
Oh, Ari just stepped up.
I feel Ari just stepped up.
ari shaffir
It's starting to get out of hand.
unidentified
It is.
ari shaffir
A farmer sees a joke.
joe rogan
Tell me, tell me.
ari shaffir
It's so expensive.
joe rogan
The pharmacy is a joke?
ari shaffir
It's $75 for an eighth, and it's not that great.
It's like, it's good, it's good.
joe rogan
Homeboy sold me an ounce for how much?
Was it $2.60?
unidentified
$2.50.
joe rogan
$2.50.
ari shaffir
Oh, yeah.
joe rogan
And that shit puts you straight on the move.
ari shaffir
That's my favorite weed.
His OG Kush is just the greatest.
joe rogan
Yeah, you bypass the stores, but I support the stores because I want to be able to go to them.
Makes sense.
I know that if I go straight to the grower, you can get...
ari shaffir
Your lungs support great weed, so that guy gives you on wholesale prices.
joe rogan
Yeah, I don't need to make that money that bad.
I would rather give that extra $100 or whatever to the store so that they can make some profit and they can keep open.
I like the convenience of it.
brian redban
They can't make a profit though, supposedly.
unidentified
What?
brian redban
They're not allowed to make profit.
ari shaffir
Oh yeah, I just read something like that.
They were like, that's completely wrong.
brian redban
Is it?
ari shaffir
I just read that.
Where they're like, that's absolutely wrong.
That's just a misinterpretation of this rule.
Yeah, I just read something.
It's in the recent web.
Oh, it was on Dig.
It was on Dig.
brian redban
I thought they weren't allowed to make profit, but they were allowed to be like, all right, you're getting paid $30 an hour.
joe rogan
I think the way it goes is you're not allowed to make profit like a normal corporation would.
But the way you can do it is you can take a salary.
Say if you run the place, you can take a salary, which is commensurate for someone who would be in your type of business.
So you could make a salary of $100,000 a year.
And the way Tom McCormick was telling me, one of the things that they do is, especially that Oaksterdam guy, They funnel a lot of the money back into the community in the source of charity, in the form of charity, in the form of grants.
They do a lot of different things with their money.
And the guy who runs it takes the salary, pays all the employees the salary, but you're not allowed to strictly get rich off it.
It's not like the guy who owns it can make 60% of the profits.
ari shaffir
Yeah, this article said you can make as much as you want.
joe rogan
Really?
ari shaffir
If it wasn't that thing.
joe rogan
Well, that's not what McCormick was telling me.
He was telling me you can't.
ari shaffir
Fuck, I wish I could read it better.
joe rogan
He was telling me that you have to take a salary.
And that's how it works.
ari shaffir
And that's what your profit is?
Just your salary?
joe rogan
Yeah.
But you could still.
A salary for a business that size.
What is commensurate?
A few hundred thousand dollars a year, I'm sure.
I mean, if you were running some U-Haul fucking empire, which is dealing with the same amount of money or something, U-Haul's a terrible example, but you know what I'm saying?
You'd make a good chunk of change.
A CEO for some big fucking company makes a lot of goddamn money.
If you're the CEO for some giant marijuana collective that's responsible for millions of dollars worth of business every year, you should be getting paid well, right?
brian redban
Yeah.
joe rogan
I think.
ari shaffir
That's what the CEOs of the banks did.
unidentified
There's too many rules, bro.
joe rogan
There's too many rules.
There's not enough rules as far as, like, protecting the environment and too many rules when it comes to everything else.
ari shaffir
Yeah.
joe rogan
Goddamn twat rockets.
brian redban
I got a PS Vita, Joe.
This came out yesterday.
This actually doesn't come out until the 22nd.
What's PS Vita?
joe rogan
Is this a video game device?
brian redban
Yeah, but this is the new thing all the kids are talking about.
unidentified
It's a...
ari shaffir
It's a new Game Boy?
brian redban
New PlayStation thing.
joe rogan
Yeah?
brian redban
And it's got...
joe rogan
You can get into it?
brian redban
Touchscreen on the back and the front.
joe rogan
On the back?
brian redban
It's got 3G built in, AT&T 3G. How's the back work?
The back just has a panel, and it's touch-sensitive.
joe rogan
So it feels your fingers?
brian redban
Yeah, so you can use it with your steering.
unidentified
Oh, wow.
brian redban
And it's also got double joysticks.
Check this out.
It's got touchscreen in the front, finally.
It's pretty cool.
I've only got to play with it a little bit today.
I have an unboxing video at DeathSquad.tv.
joe rogan
What's it called again?
brian redban
I'm doing a review.
It's called the PS Vita.
joe rogan
And what kind of games you get in this sucker?
brian redban
What's cool is the graphics are amazing.
They look like a home console video game, and you can do your Netflix on here.
And since it has 3G, you can do all the stuff that you can do on a tablet.
It has two cameras in the front.
joe rogan
So you can surf the web on that?
brian redban
Yeah, you can do camera front and the back and everything.
joe rogan
How's the battery life?
brian redban
Battery's about five and a half hours, six hours.
It's pretty badass, though.
It just came out.
It comes out the 22nd, but you can buy an early version of it.
joe rogan
They send you one early?
brian redban
I ordered, they have an early, like for people that pre-ordered it, you can get it a week or so.
ari shaffir
What is that noise?
joe rogan
Is that making stupid music?
ari shaffir
Is that Sonic the Hedgehog?
brian redban
No.
joe rogan
You shut that stupid shit off?
brian redban
Is it?
Oh, it is.
I don't know how to turn it off.
joe rogan
Oh, that's ridiculous.
unidentified
Just kidding.
ari shaffir
There's a lot of stuff.
unidentified
It's so cool.
joe rogan
Why would the music be so stupid?
ari shaffir
Oh, here we go.
Medical marijuana profit is allowed under California law.
Should I read it?
joe rogan
Sure.
Yeah.
ari shaffir
Fuck, I carry on the Wi-Fi here eventually.
Oh, when it loads up.
brian redban
But yeah, I'm doing a review on it at deskquad.tv.
ari shaffir
How is it?
Is it fun?
brian redban
So far, it's pretty awesome.
I like it has 3G, and you don't have any contracts, so you can just pay as you go.
The camera's not that good, but the graphics, the screen's amazing.
The games are amazing.
could download any a lot a lot of the previous console so nowadays they're kind of switching to where you download your video games it's still buying to the store oh really yeah that makes sense so instead of so instead of getting a disk you just download it right and then you can delete it if you want to you can delete it and or whatever it would that the only name really get rid of this so you think just everything's gonna be in the cloud down like I like that though yeah I like my landline I don't want to cord this phone.
joe rogan
If I want to talk to you so bad, I'll do it right here.
I'm an old man.
I don't want everything in the cloud.
brian redban
I do like the cloud if they do it right.
iTunes just recently switched over to doing it right, where it shows you all the purchased songs that you've ever downloaded on iTunes.
ari shaffir
Zero purchases.
brian redban
And you can re-download them.
ari shaffir
900 gigabytes of total songs.
unidentified
Oh, are you allowed to talk about what happened...
ari shaffir
In Minnesota?
brian redban
Yeah.
Because I only know pieces of this.
joe rogan
Are you sure you're allowed?
ari shaffir
Yeah, there's pieces I have to leave out.
joe rogan
There was a thing that Ari Shafir does.
It's a lark.
I mean, he pretends that what he's doing is hiding marijuana all around town, and then he calls it a hunt for the edible.
brian redban
When it's really just lollipops.
joe rogan
It's really just...
Tootsie Rolls.
He wouldn't do that to you.
You can't handle it.
It would be cute if you could handle it, but you can't handle it.
So, that said...
ari shaffir
But coincidentally, I do live in a state where they could sell really small stuff all the time.
joe rogan
Right.
ari shaffir
And anyone pretty much here can buy it.
It's totally legal for us here.
joe rogan
Yeah.
So?
ari shaffir
Yeah.
joe rogan
So what happened?
ari shaffir
So, yeah, I've had them before where I had little scavenger hunts for this clearly fake, only tobacco product.
Yeah.
joe rogan
It's not marijuana.
Whatever you think it is.
brian redban
It's just titsy.
joe rogan
And if you got high from it?
Placebo effect.
unidentified
Purely placebo.
ari shaffir
It's amazing.
brian redban
Diabetes.
unidentified
Exactly.
Diabetes.
joe rogan
It's spooky, man.
I got dizzy.
ari shaffir
Yeah, and it's fun.
People just...
I make some clues and people just find it.
joe rogan
And you've been organizing this through Twitter?
ari shaffir
Uh-huh.
brian redban
It seems like a solid plan.
joe rogan
Well, it's good that you're not using real pot because...
ari shaffir
No, that's why it's totally great.
joe rogan
Some people who have fucking heart attacks and freak the fuck out did...
So you did this in...
ari shaffir
So usually I do them not in a specific type of place.
You know, I'll just do them somewhere, like, out.
joe rogan
Right.
ari shaffir
I did it this time.
I tried doing it at the Mall of America.
brian redban
You know that's like Fort Knox.
ari shaffir
Yeah, they're all locked down now, I guess.
They have their own security and they have regular police there too.
joe rogan
And so what happened?
ari shaffir
Well, I decided instead of hiding it like outside, like near a pillar or something, I figured there'd be less cameras, so I should go into a store and hide it there.
joe rogan
Right.
ari shaffir
Maybe like increase business for them.
Right.
And so I did that at the store.
joe rogan
Grubby hippies looking for fucking free weed.
ari shaffir
Also, what kind of clues can I give?
Like, what's it around that I can think of a clue for?
Right.
And then I found a place.
And then I left.
It was like, good.
Bada bing, bada boom.
Then I waited for like, you know, a few hours.
Started writing the clues.
And then I started releasing them.
It was great.
And people were looking for it.
First I narrowed down like a side of the mall.
Then like a floor.
And then like the store.
And then like where?
Anyway, so the show had just started.
The MC was on.
I was texting outside.
And I just saw a cop to my right and two securities to my left just standing there.
And they're like, Ari?
And I was like, I looked up and I was like, Oh, fuck.
Well, this is happening now.
I really didn't think it would.
I was like, fuck.
I've got to talk to you for a while.
I'm like, oh, hey.
This is totally cool.
Somebody's got to go inside right now and just let them know that I'm in trouble because they're going to have to find somebody really soon.
The show just started.
They've got like 40 minutes to find someone to headline nearby in Minneapolis.
So just let them know that this is happening.
So they did, whatever.
The cop...
Let's just say he was cool.
So he didn't find any specific evidence.
So that wasn't a problem.
But then the mall security was trying to say I couldn't go on.
They were going to ban me from the mall.
And the club was in the mall.
And then Rick Brunson, the owner, had to get on the phone and start yelling at him.
Saying, who the fuck are you?
You're going to cost me money?
Because that idiot...
How to fucking hide pot somewhere or hide fake pot?
joe rogan
That's what he called you, an idiot?
ari shaffir
Yeah, to the security.
It's like, you're not going to cost me a bunch of money in refunds and disappoint all those people because he wants to be a fucking moron.
joe rogan
Wow.
ari shaffir
I explained to them what happened to them.
I'm like, it's just for fun.
It's where I go.
It's totally legal.
I want other people to have fun.
joe rogan
Even though it's fake.
ari shaffir
Even though it's fake.
I think they understood that.
joe rogan
You can't even do that in California because it's only legal with a license.
brian redban
And you don't know if a kid's going to grab it.
joe rogan
But it isn't illegal.
That's the thing.
It's decriminalized in California to a certain amount.
As long as you don't think you're distributing it.
ari shaffir
Some people ask me, what happens when a 15-year-old gets it?
I'm like, Great time for him.
What do you mean?
There's no problem there.
joe rogan
I'm pretty sure the kid's going to have...
ari shaffir
These kids who got him came the next day to the show.
brian redban
They did?
ari shaffir
Yeah.
joe rogan
Oh, well, lucky it wasn't really weed.
ari shaffir
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
joe rogan
Yeah.
ari shaffir
What happened was the people who went to the underwear aisle of that store that I shouldn't say because that lady was pretty cool too.
Right.
joe rogan
I'm going to go out on a limb and say it was...
ari shaffir
Don't say which store.
She was cool.
She was like, I'm not going to press charges.
Please take down any mention of my store so I don't get in trouble.
Okay.
So it was a male clothing store.
I wanted to hire Elaine Bryant at a fat check store but I didn't think I could get in there without being noticed.
brian redban
Yeah, well...
ari shaffir
Why would it even be in there?
brian redban
You look like somebody that would date a fat person.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Do you really think he looks like someone who did it?
brian redban
No, that was a telly joke.
unidentified
No, I might.
ari shaffir
In some ways.
joe rogan
If the world gets dark.
ari shaffir
Yeah, so the first people went and got it in the underwear aisle, and the next piece of people came in, and they couldn't find it, so they started tearing everything up, like, looking for it.
So that was an unintended consequence.
brian redban
That sucks.
ari shaffir
Yeah, but no trouble.
They let me off, like, five minutes before I had to go on.
joe rogan
Oh, that's cool.
Did you go on stage and immediately talk about it?
unidentified
Yeah, of course.
joe rogan
Of course you did.
ari shaffir
It's the first thing out of my mouth.
I was like, sorry, everybody, I'm just...
I was just...
Yeah, Rick Brunson, he got on the phone with me.
They were like, he wants to talk to you on the phone because he was in Edmonton on his landline.
And he was like, hey, first things first.
You need to act like I'm yelling at you.
Okay?
So now, is your smile gone?
And I was like, yeah.
And I started laughing.
He goes, don't laugh.
Don't laugh.
I'm serious.
He goes, it's not going to be any problem at all.
I'm like, sorry, dude, for getting here.
He goes, I don't fucking care.
It's totally cool.
joe rogan
I think if you've been running a comedy club as long as that guy's been...
ari shaffir
He's also a comic.
He's like, whatever, I know.
It's totally fine.
joe rogan
Yeah, you've got to be careful, though.
brian redban
That's crazy.
ari shaffir
Yeah, so no full repercussions.
joe rogan
You've got to be fucking careful.
That shit's super illegal in certain parts of this country.
ari shaffir
Yeah.
joe rogan
And we don't realize it because, as we said here...
ari shaffir
That's lame, though.
That's another lame one.
What are you guys doing?
It's just so lame.
brian redban
So your new thing is taking liquid acid and squirting it into the audience.
unidentified
Into his eyes.
brian redban
Yeah.
joe rogan
Don't imagine if he did that.
ari shaffir
The best is I was standing there with security and some people came up for like the late show or something.
And they're like, oh, we brought something for you.
And they opened up their purse.
I was like, no, no.
No, no, no.
But then she was like, it's okay.
I'm like looking behind like, don't.
And it was just Swedish fish.
So it was all right.
joe rogan
Swedish fish.
What is that?
ari shaffir
Just some like gummy product.
brian redban
Oh, is it good?
unidentified
That's hilarious.
ari shaffir
Yeah, it's delicious.
I offered it to the cops.
And the lady cop was super hot.
joe rogan
Really?
ari shaffir
Like, super hot.
joe rogan
Like, how hot?
ari shaffir
Like, I was...
Hi, what?
joe rogan
How hot?
ari shaffir
Like, an L.A.H. Wow.
Like, legit.
I kept looking at her, and I was like, you guys should come in.
You totally should come in.
joe rogan
You tried to get her to come to the show?
ari shaffir
I mean, I couldn't go fully, like, so when you get off, we should hang out.
joe rogan
You should have totally gone right there.
ari shaffir
I regret not doing it.
She was so pretty.
unidentified
Why not?
ari shaffir
Maybe that would have worked.
Maybe that would have worked.
Maybe it would have worked.
joe rogan
Maybe she's starving for some intellectual conversation, a funny guy, great sense of humor.
ari shaffir
She seemed like she got it, too.
joe rogan
She seemed like she understood.
brian redban
Or maybe she was dating the other really nice cop guy, and then he would have thrown you in prison.
joe rogan
He probably fucks her every time they shoot somebody.
unidentified
God.
joe rogan
That's the deal.
ari shaffir
Every time.
Don't shoot people.
joe rogan
Every down and then, dude.
Shit gets crazy.
She was a mall cop?
ari shaffir
What?
joe rogan
She wasn't even a real cop?
ari shaffir
She wasn't a real cop.
She was part of the mall cop.
unidentified
Damn, hot mall cop.
ari shaffir
She was so pretty.
Man, I was like, you guys should have a good comment.
joe rogan
Was she responsive at all to you?
ari shaffir
She would smile.
She knew that it was just something being an idiot.
The guy, mall cop, was trying to pretend like he was a badass, but he couldn't really keep it going that much.
And then the head of security was trying to really enforce the law.
unidentified
Oh.
ari shaffir
But who fucking cares?
joe rogan
Could have got in trouble, buddy.
ari shaffir
I could have.
joe rogan
Could have went to jail.
What if somebody just showed up at the joint and said, this dirty Jew gave me this joint?
ari shaffir
They could say that now.
joe rogan
And I smoked it.
Whoa.
ari shaffir
Don't be giving that shit out.
joe rogan
You've got to stop doing that.
We're going to have Be Real from Cypress Hill on soon.
ari shaffir
Whoa, that's cool.
joe rogan
Yeah.
I've been going back and forth with him on Twitter.
And Arge Barker.
He's going to be on too.
But one of the things about...
Yeah, he's in America until Monday.
One of the things about Be Real from Cypress Hill that he and I share is that he won't just take weed from strangers.
ari shaffir
He won't.
joe rogan
He won't smoke their weed.
ari shaffir
Doug Benson does it from everybody.
joe rogan
Yeah, Doug Benson does.
He gets high with people all the time.
But the government's probably getting high with him too, and they're probably giving him some weed that's got little GPS signals in it.
ari shaffir
He needs that.
That's all he can get high off at this point.
His tolerance is too high.
brian redban
I'm getting high off GPS. Oh, he's got those GPS crystals?
ari shaffir
Oh, cool.
joe rogan
He's getting high off Wi-Fi.
ari shaffir
It's hitting me hard.
unidentified
That's...
joe rogan
How long before they actually just spray you with some shit they can track you with?
ari shaffir
They probably already have the capability.
brian redban
They can track you already.
joe rogan
Yeah, I mean, it's not hard to find you just through your Twitter.
ari shaffir
Most people are on the grid.
Yeah, Twitter, your fucking credit cards.
joe rogan
Going to Joe's house, going to Burbank, I'm at the airport, shit.
ari shaffir
They let you go about your business.
They don't care what you do most of the time.
joe rogan
Most of the time, until you oppose them.
Until you're in some sort of position where you might be trying to take over.
Can you imagine the kind of tapping they have on Ron Paul's information?
ari shaffir
Yeah, he can't even order pizza without them breaking down the wording.
joe rogan
Shit.
ari shaffir
How long is Archbar going to be here for?
joe rogan
He said until Monday.
Isn't that amazing that they're so ignoring this Ron Paul cat and then pushing this Rick Santorum dude on everybody.
ari shaffir
Well, at least he's not a Mormon.
joe rogan
There's been evidence of voter fraud in Maine, by the way.
Ron Paul is supposed to be one in Maine, and before even all the precincts were counted, they were giving it to Santorum.
They're saying there's voter fraud in Maine.
ari shaffir
Really?
joe rogan
I mean, it's just a caucus.
ari shaffir
I would have liked to see Ron Paul win one state.
joe rogan
Yeah, it would have been cute.
ari shaffir
In the prelims.
joe rogan
Well, you know what, man?
I think this whole system's rigged.
ari shaffir
Of course it is.
joe rogan
I really, absolutely, absolutely, truly believe it.
And I think these guys are just auditioning to be the CEO of a company where they're not even going to get a chance to say what the fuck gets to go on.
And they're not going to get it anyway.
Obama's going to win again.
Obama's way better than Mitt Romney.
He's way more charismatic.
Look, they can do some Hollywood math on the numbers and have you convinced that we're in an economic upswing.
ari shaffir
One guy's just super rich.
joe rogan
Nobody likes super rich.
Yeah, he came in the wrong time and the world was fucked up when he got here and the country was fucked up.
But in the time that he's been here, he'll spin some fucking legislation that we've passed and help this and the economic stimulus and put us back on track.
Sort of.
Whatever.
That National Defense Authorization Act kills everything that he did.
Everything.
That's that thing that allows people to be detained indefinitely with no warrants.
The fact that he passed that...
ari shaffir
It's just such an easy way to abuse that.
joe rogan
It's so gross.
It's gross.
It's completely unconstitutional.
ari shaffir
This is the first time on my radio station that comes on the news about the elections or the pre-elections, whatever they're having.
It just seems like when Newt Gingrich and Perry and Santorum and Mitt Romney, it seems like they keep...
Like, just lying?
joe rogan
Yeah.
ari shaffir
And then, like, going back on, yeah, I did say this, but that's not what I believe now.
It just seems like little kids just saying whatever they can so they can get their prize.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
joe rogan
Especially Ron.
ari shaffir
But it's like, and Ron Paul's the only one who just says, well, this is what I believe.
A lot of this shit's not popular.
Give me another one of those if you're good.
Yeah.
But it's like, this is what I've always said.
The same thing for always.
unidentified
Oh, thanks.
joe rogan
Yeah.
ari shaffir
When they're afraid of going on the record for what they really believe if it's not popular.
joe rogan
It's not real.
They don't believe shit.
They believe they want to be president.
unidentified
Yeah, that's what it is.
ari shaffir
It's like they're just trying to get elected.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
It's like when you audition for a show that you hope you don't get.
ari shaffir
Yeah, we're like, this sucks, but I'll make believe I like the sense of humor.
joe rogan
Rick Perry is so lucky he's dumb, because now he gets to live the rest of his life without Secret Service agents wiping his ass everywhere he goes.
Because if he won, and he could have fucking won, don't get me wrong, if that guy auditioned for the role of president just four years ago, and he was just coached a little bit better, and someone with a little hindsight, you get some smart dudes behind him.
ari shaffir
Yeah, that's all it is, right?
Isn't that all it is?
Attracting the best PR people?
joe rogan
He's no dumber than George Bush He's no dumber than GW He's just like an actress Yeah He's just to build your resume Yeah, build your resume Do it correctly Become popular at the right time Exactly He was popular at one point in time Do you remember?
ari shaffir
It was like That guy was like He looked handsome He looked like fucking But I remember them talking about Obama At some like Democratic convention And they were like Ooh, he gave a really good speech People are going to look at him now He's like a presidential guy Yeah.
It's like having a really good game in the NBA All-Star game.
joe rogan
Yeah.
It's like having a good set on Comedy Central.
ari shaffir
Yeah, and all of a sudden it's like, oh, watch out.
joe rogan
Yeah.
It's an act.
ari shaffir
Or some chick in some movie.
joe rogan
Yeah.
I remember my friend, who I will not name his name because he's a silly fucking liberal.
Not that there's anything wrong with being a liberal, but he's silly.
ari shaffir
But he's silly liberal.
joe rogan
He's one of those guys.
And when I say liberal, I'm very liberal in most of the things.
Most things like gay marriage and civil rights and most of those things.
ari shaffir
You shouldn't be attached to everything, though.
joe rogan
Exactly.
I'm not on a team.
I'm not on team this or team that.
And when you are, I think you're silly if you're a liberal by choice, in a category, predetermined pattern behavior you follow, or you're conservative.
Either one of them is just silly to me.
But this guy was telling me what a great President Obama would make.
And I go, why do you say that?
What policies that he supports do you believe?
ari shaffir
Unlike him.
joe rogan
He didn't have a fucking...
nothing to say.
He just started giving me like double talk.
I go, do you even know anything the stuff this guy does or do you love him because he's a good looking black guy?
And you love like supporting a black guy because you got a little bit of white guilt.
ari shaffir
Yeah.
joe rogan
And he didn't want to admit it.
ari shaffir
Do you see that Howard Stern thing they did with the interview people and just messed up the facts?
Like Obama...
Obama and McCain is running together against so-and-so who are you going to vote for?
It's like Obama and McCain!
It's all about McCain.
Do you think he'd be a good president for Obama?
He's like, yeah.
I like his policies.
joe rogan
Oh, that's hilarious.
ari shaffir
Yeah.
Was it...
I'm trying to remember who that fuck that was.
Who did it?
Maybe it was for Tough Crowd.
Fuck.
I wish I knew what it was.
Who's that guy we met in New York that time?
The Boston comic?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Boston comic book.
ari shaffir
You didn't like me, I was texting.
joe rogan
Nick DiPaolo?
ari shaffir
Yeah.
unidentified
You didn't like you because of what?
ari shaffir
I was texting or something.
joe rogan
No, no, that's not what it was.
You joked around about jocks.
You said something about jocks.
ari shaffir
Boston is all jocks.
joe rogan
That's what it was.
Yeah, yeah, that's what you said.
It was a bunch of dumb jocks.
You know, who the fuck is this guy?
Nick DiPaolo was quick to tell you to fuck yourself.
ari shaffir
He immediately happened to wear a sweater or something, and he was like, oh, in case we all can't be Jeanine Garofalo.
I was like, what do you think?
What?
Did I offend you?
joe rogan
Yeah, he thought you were...
Well, you kind of dress a little bit like a hipster.
ari shaffir
Yeah, I guess I do.
joe rogan
If people didn't know you, they would totally think you're a hipster.
Until they hear you talk.
ari shaffir
They would think I'm an alternative comic.
joe rogan
Until they hear your filthy, dirty mouth on stage.
ari shaffir
Yeah, they would think you were an alternative.
joe rogan
Thank God you're not.
It's so hard to be friends with an alternative comic and pretend that all that shit is funny.
ari shaffir
It's starting to go away, the lines.
joe rogan
Of course it is.
ari shaffir
There's some real good people that just go up in that scene and then vice versa.
joe rogan
They're just comics.
ari shaffir
Yeah.
joe rogan
Of course it is.
The people that wanted to be alternative.
ari shaffir
Louie used to always do that.
joe rogan
Yeah, but it was just a comic.
ari shaffir
They're all rooms and you go up at the store.
joe rogan
Yeah.
ari shaffir
And you're like, oh, you come here too?
I was like, what do you mean?
It's stage time.
joe rogan
Yeah, he's just a comic.
Yeah, he's smart enough to realize that.
But a lot of these dummies, it was like, you know what it was?
It was like, we found a cool club.
This is like the Cool Kids Club.
You know, this is the Janine Garofalo Club.
Chechen Rebel.
Doesn't that sound like a serial?
ari shaffir
Chechenian?
joe rogan
Yeah.
ari shaffir
Yeah.
What?
Why'd you say that?
joe rogan
Oh, that's one of their jokes?
ari shaffir
Oh, really?
joe rogan
That's a Gene Garofalo line.
ari shaffir
Because he was looking.
I think he was imagining her.
joe rogan
I'm just doing what they do on stage, like looking off in the distance, saying something mildly ironic.
ari shaffir
Yeah.
joe rogan
You know?
It's not even funny.
unidentified
Shut it!
joe rogan
You're not funny!
No!
ari shaffir
Work harder at this.
joe rogan
You're not trying hard enough and your point of view sucks because it's not real.
You're not really.
You're just trying to fit into a mold that you think these little hipster twat heads are going to appreciate.
Yeah, clap, clap.
ari shaffir
I saw Paul Tompkins talking about the state of alternative comedy.
unidentified
Yeah.
ari shaffir
On a podcast in San Francisco.
Jamie Kilstein's podcast.
The state is AIDS. He goes, it's really sucky right now.
It's AIDS. He goes, all these people trying to be alternative comics and sucky because they're trying to be this.
Instead of just being it.
unidentified
It's AIDS. It's AIDS. They all have AIDS. It's not funny.
joe rogan
And they're super snotty about it.
It's like, the thing about the grossest thing...
ari shaffir
That's the biggest problem with snottyness.
The snottyness.
joe rogan
It's not even...
Over what?
You're not even putting out good art.
Like, shut your snotty mouth.
It's not good stuff.
It's not funny.
The bottom line is it was created.
Some of it is.
But that's good comedy, period.
It'd be good anywhere.
The bottom line is the need for alternative comedy was created because the ones who were trying to do it weren't successful in other rooms.
They weren't successful.
Whether it's because they were performing for dumb crowds or whether they were performing for people that didn't appreciate what they were doing, so they had to find people who did.
That's all well and good, but they became, in a lot of ways, not all of them, totally generalizing and pigeonholing.
ari shaffir
They had this irony, this ironic disposition.
joe rogan
Yeah, but they also became sort of comedy bullies.
If you hung around them, like Burt Kreischer has a terrible story about them being fucking shitty to him.
ari shaffir
Really?
joe rogan
Over at the UC, whatever it is, UCB? Yeah.
About how gross his experience was there.
When people are bullied, they want to bully back.
Children that are molested go on to become molesters.
ari shaffir
It's so weird.
But then Ian Edwards, I met him in Miami.
joe rogan
What a terrible connection.
I did.
Nobody ever called me on it.
You're like, whatever, just keep talking, stupid.
Just keep rambling.
ari shaffir
I saw Ian go about that alternative.
I'm like, what material do you do for this?
He goes, crowds are crowds, man.
brian redban
Yeah, I've done the UCB twice and then I had great crowds.
joe rogan
Yeah, I did the UCB. I loved it.
I had a great time now.
ari shaffir
It's not the audience, man.
joe rogan
It's not the audiences.
ari shaffir
It's the comics.
joe rogan
It's the artists.
And it's not all of them.
It's just a few.
It's just like cops.
A few cunts spoil the whole podcast.
ari shaffir
That's what it is.
joe rogan
Exactly what it is.
ari shaffir
That's why everyone's against it because of those few cunts.
joe rogan
Yeah, same with cops, same with girls, same with guys, same with everything.
The few people stand out.
ari shaffir
I hate it when a girl says I don't take comics anymore because all the comics have been bad.
I'm like, come on, wait, break it down because I'm not all of them.
joe rogan
Yeah, but you're terrible.
ari shaffir
Yeah, but if it's all about like...
Whatever it is.
I'm like, yeah, yeah, we do that.
joe rogan
I was like, I'm a great guy.
Come on.
Give me a chance.
unidentified
Give me a chance.
ari shaffir
But if they say they're needy, then I'm like, well, I'm not needy.
But if they say they can't commit, I'm like, oh, yeah, all right, that's fine.
Yeah, we shouldn't do it.
joe rogan
Yeah, well, isn't that like what all women want, Ari Shaffir?
ari shaffir
Yeah, some of them.
joe rogan
They all want love.
They all want to know that you're going to be there for them.
They all want you to listen to their highlight reel.
ari shaffir
Highlight reel?
joe rogan
Correct their act.
The worst is dating a comic.
Dating a comic and you have to help them with their act.
Do you think this is funny?
There's nothing more of a turn off than a girl going over her bits with you.
ari shaffir
Anyone going over their bits with you is horrible.
joe rogan
Yeah.
But a girl that you want to fuck?
Stop it.
I want you to listen to my joke.
Tell me if you think this is funny.
Meanwhile, your dick is like a headache in your pants.
ari shaffir
Let's just do it.
joe rogan
Tell me if you think this is good.
ari shaffir
I've dated a few comics.
I start telling them now, I am not going to help you with your act.
I'm not going to try to correct you.
If I see something like...
Thematically you're doing that I can see a fix for.
Like, you should check out this room.
You might do well there.
joe rogan
Yeah.
ari shaffir
Like, I would do that, but that's it.
Like, just give you suggestions of, like, directions to go.
joe rogan
Yeah.
I go to peers every now and then.
There's something wrong with this bit, man.
Doesn't the bit seem too verbose or something like that?
But I'm kind of just sounding off.
I kind of know anyway.
If you're being objective about your shit, which you always have to be anyway.
ari shaffir
Well, somebody tells you, like, yeah, they saw that.
Like, I like that joke.
I'm like, do you think, yeah, don't you think in there it needs a little something?
joe rogan
Yeah.
ari shaffir
If you know they saw it.
joe rogan
You kind of know though.
You know when something needs something if you're being really honest about it, right?
unidentified
Yeah.
ari shaffir
But sometimes they help you.
They're like, well, have you ever thought about going from there into your family right there?
And you're like, oh, I didn't.
Yeah, you're right.
unidentified
Yeah.
ari shaffir
Like they're not writing you a joke.
They're just like an angle you didn't think you took.
unidentified
Yeah.
Yeah.
joe rogan
Or good taglines.
Yeah, I had this King Kong bit that I was doing and Louis C.K. pulled me aside.
He goes, you know, it was really funny.
He goes, you should say that King Kong is this really cunty wife too.
And do this whole thing about King Kong's gunty wife.
ari shaffir
Probably at home.
joe rogan
Why this whole thing about King Kong being the most racist movie ever?
That he was around these naked black women his entire life.
He never gave a fuck.
He saw one white chick in a dress and lost his fucking mind and had to have her.
Really, exactly what that movie was.
They were dancing, these black girls.
They had feathers on and shit.
They were naked, tits hanging out, drums playing, fire dancing and shit.
No one cared.
And he's like, yeah, King Kong should have a really cunty wife.
That was why he was still married, though.
That's like the angle you always go to.
ari shaffir
Cunty wife, yeah.
joe rogan
Cunty wife holds him back and keeps him from being funny.
unidentified
I think you would ever date a comic again?
ari shaffir
Casually date him, yeah.
joe rogan
What about Little Esther?
ari shaffir
I do that sometimes.
brian redban
I think Duncan's dating Esther right now.
joe rogan
Do you really?
brian redban
I was thinking.
joe rogan
Oh my god.
brian redban
I heard you're dating Natasha again.
ari shaffir
Ugh, no.
unidentified
Woo!
Woo!
joe rogan
That's getting hot in here!
Damn!
brian redban
That'd be so weird.
joe rogan
Could you even fucking imagine if you guys just swapped back and forth?
And you're like, look, I know you left me before, but I wasn't the man that I am now.
I'm a different man now.
I'm a different man now.
unidentified
It was cool.
joe rogan
It was totally cool.
It was totally cool back then when you went with Duncan.
It was totally cool if you just go right back to me because that's where you belong.
And then as soon as you pull out, you nut it right in her eyes and say, fuck it.
unidentified
Fuck you!
I've been waiting for five years to do this!
joe rogan
Fuck you!
And you give her double fingers while you're naked!
Fuck you!
How many guys have done that?
Got back with a girl, pretended to be in love with her just so they could shoot a load on her.
ari shaffir
Just so they could do that?
joe rogan
And then just say, fuck you!
ari shaffir
You ever see that old movie called The Heiress?
joe rogan
The Heiress?
ari shaffir
Yeah, it's about this girl who got jilted and she just waits to get revenge for like decades.
joe rogan
That's like I spit on your grave.
ari shaffir
Yeah, yeah.
brian redban
I have girls that I wait on just to fuck, like Megan Fox and Lindsay Lohan.
I think in like 12 years, they would probably be doable.
joe rogan
Once they hit the wall?
brian redban
Yeah.
joe rogan
You know who I think you can get?
Brett Butler from Grace Under Fire.
ari shaffir
She needs a place to stay, right?
joe rogan
She needs a place to stay.
You can take her.
brian redban
Stay with my face, Brett Butler.
ari shaffir
She's okay in her day.
joe rogan
We talked about her back in the last show, about how crazy it was.
She was one of the Chuck Lorre.
She was a Chuck Lorre show.
Grace Under 5. That guy has just been around forever, just churning out the hits.
And she was all cracked out.
ari shaffir
Chuck Lorre?
joe rogan
There was always the rumor on the set that she had done some crazy thing, threw a drink in his face, had some memes at him.
unidentified
Really?
ari shaffir
And she got gone from that?
joe rogan
Yeah, that killed her.
ari shaffir
It's powerful as fuck.
You think he cares?
You're rated 12th?
joe rogan
Yeah.
You're not supposed to do that anyway.
ari shaffir
That would make a lot of money.
joe rogan
You're not supposed to do that anyway.
That's what killed Titus' show too.
ari shaffir
You ever turn something down for money?
Like somebody offers a sponsor to this and you're like, that doesn't go with what I do at all.
joe rogan
Oh yeah, definitely.
ari shaffir
Yeah, it's like people can turn down money.
Chuck Lorre says, I have plenty of money.
I'll just not do your show anymore.
joe rogan
Yeah, I'll kill your show before it goes to syndication.
ari shaffir
If you're going to be a complete asshole to me, then yeah, I'm not going to work for you.
joe rogan
They killed Titus' show before it goes to syndication.
Yeah, you had some crazy blowout.
brian redban
Remember that movie TV show?
I talked about a few times that no one could remember it.
What's it's called mr. Smith?
It was about a monkey monkey that was president.
Yeah, yeah, and it's impossible.
ari shaffir
Black and white.
brian redban
No, no, no That's you think of mr. Smith goes to Washington or Hollywood Well, sure this is a TV show and somebody uploaded a like five-second commercial on YouTube the other day And so I finally okay So I finally found, I have a screenshot of the monkey, so I don't know if I'm going crazy.
joe rogan
Whoa, that's an orangutan.
brian redban
It's an orangutan, but this is what it looked like.
He was the president, and he was some kind of animated, or like Muppet, realistic Muppet type, ALF type thing.
joe rogan
Oh, so it wasn't a real...
brian redban
I think they used both.
ari shaffir
That sounds like when NBC went to 7.30 primetime.
unidentified
Yeah.
ari shaffir
You know, they tried that.
Small Wonder, I think, was there.
brian redban
It was NBC also.
ari shaffir
My Two Dads.
It was NBC. Yeah, it seemed like that much.
And they were all way worse than a regular sitcom.
It's like, you think sitcoms are shitty.
Think what wouldn't have made it.
brian redban
Right.
ari shaffir
Here, I want to read this about the cannabis thing.
joe rogan
Okay.
ari shaffir
Okay, there's a...
By Robert Raich, who wrote it.
There's a widely held misconception that businesses in California medical cannabis industry are prohibited from making a profit.
In reality, no California law prohibits cannabis-related businessmen from making a profit.
Opponents of medical pot...
I'm going to translate it as I read it.
However, have done a massive job spreading disinformation since SB 420 was signed into law in 2003. The disinformation has become so prevalent that it is affecting safe access to medical cannabis patients...
Blah, blah, blah.
Okay, and it resulted in State Senator John whatever releasing a letter debunking the widely held misconception that profit is not permitted from medical cannabis providers under California law.
joe rogan
I'm looking at Brian's moth.
ari shaffir
The giant moth?
joe rogan
The one that he smoked?
Smoked its shit.
Why would you smoke something that came out of that thing's ass?
brian redban
The liquid looks so trippy that I'm like, I wonder if this would do anything.
I mean, it didn't look like poop.
joe rogan
It's probably fucking poison.
brian redban
No, it was probably poop or something.
joe rogan
It's probably massive.
brian redban
And I lit it anyway.
joe rogan
Poison.
It's probably, you know what it is?
It probably had a miscarriage right there on your floor.
brian redban
Yeah, but it was pregnant.
I bet that was pregnant.
joe rogan
Could be.
brian redban
That's why it shook like that.
It was on my door for two days, yeah.
joe rogan
Jesus Christ, Brian.
You're gonna die.
It's not good.
Whatever it is, it's not good.
ari shaffir
You have like one of those porch entries, right?
Where it goes over, where you can stay in the rain.
You won't get wet.
brian redban
Yeah.
ari shaffir
Do moths love that?
Nice.
Whose balls are those?
brian redban
It's Valentine's Day balls.
ari shaffir
Whose balls are those?
brian redban
Just download it.
joe rogan
Are those your balls?
brian redban
Huh?
joe rogan
Are those your balls?
brian redban
No.
ari shaffir
Are they?
brian redban
No.
joe rogan
They're pretty if they are.
brian redban
They're a heart.
joe rogan
Can you imagine if you got an operation to have your balls always in the shape of a heart?
Like there was a new thing, and women wanted you to do it, to show them that you really cared, and you would just get your balls tucked into a heart shape.
There was like a little plastic V implant that they would put in at the bottom of your ball sack.
ari shaffir
So it would just look like a heart at all times.
joe rogan
Yeah, so it would always look like a heart.
Dudes would do it.
brian redban
I always wonder why belly buttons never got extended or changed in any way.
joe rogan
The balls are so vulnerable as it is.
ari shaffir
Yeah, the belly button nobody really touches.
Sometimes they get belly button rings, people.
joe rogan
You can get an implant on your balls with a wire frame that was in the shape of your heart.
ari shaffir
Like those old ladies' dresses from the cold days where they had to proof them out.
joe rogan
Yeah, they just spread it out like a bat wing.
Like the bat wing over the balls and spread it out.
Your fucking balls are already super vulnerable.
If somebody kicks you in the balls and you have an implant in there, it's going to even hurt anymore.
ari shaffir
But there's so much extra skin you can do stuff with there.
unidentified
Yeah, there's so much.
brian redban
Totally.
joe rogan
Well, that's what we were talking about.
The guy who got fucked to death by the horse.
He had like a whole binder.
ari shaffir
Yeah.
joe rogan
Like a fucking notebook binder of rings coming off his horse.
ari shaffir
Yeah, why not?
Of course, eventually he'll do that.
People will put it in the shape of a heart.
joe rogan
That'd be sweet.
unidentified
It'd be way easier to get girls to suck on them.
brian redban
I swear you'd keep your hard drive.
joe rogan
No, that's not true.
ari shaffir
If there's an excuse to take your dick out.
joe rogan
If a girl who would suck on your balls will suck on your balls, period.
ari shaffir
You definitely increase the odds of it happening.
joe rogan
If a girl won't suck on your balls, you really shouldn't be with her.
brian redban
I don't like it.
I think it tickles.
joe rogan
You got problems.
brian redban
It doesn't tickle you at all?
joe rogan
If a girl will suck on your balls.
brian redban
My girlfriend loves it, but it tickles me.
ari shaffir
That used to be Polly's move.
He would take it out.
brian redban
She'll do anything.
joe rogan
Take his balls out?
ari shaffir
He would just take a dick out.
joe rogan
Just his whole dick.
ari shaffir
Yeah, and he would say, like, either they're going to do this or they're not.
We're going to find out right now.
joe rogan
Yeah, but I mean, girl, you're dating.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
joe rogan
Girl, you're dating will suck your balls.
Some girls won't suck the balls.
They'll suck your dick.
brian redban
Really?
joe rogan
But there's a line they won't cross.
There's girls who you can't come in their mouth.
brian redban
That's a nice, huge, huge turnoff.
ari shaffir
While I was married, Allie was walking by, and, um, and, uh, We were pretending.
I just have my balls out all the time.
At the store, just all the time.
Just have my dick and balls out.
And we're trying to convince this one girl to, like, no, it's totally normal.
They smell fine.
You should suck it.
brian redban
Oh, I remember this.
ari shaffir
And then Alan walked by and pretended, like, oh, really?
She pretended like she didn't know me.
And she was like, hey, what's going on?
She's like, do you know this guy?
He's like, no, what's happening?
I love the comedy store.
It's so fun here.
They were like, we're trying to explain.
Like, it's totally cool.
Just suck this guy's dick.
She's like, oh, yeah, what do you mean?
Yeah, I'll do it.
We're together.
joe rogan
So she starts blowing you in front of everybody.
ari shaffir
So she was like, yeah, it's fine, whatever.
I'm going back inside.
And then she would just walk out.
I was going to try to convince this girl that it's totally normal.
Do you have this on tape?
brian redban
Somewhere.
joe rogan
Oh, that's hilarious.
ari shaffir
It was so weird.
And nobody got embarrassed for her.
I was like, yeah, she does this.
I'm with her.
brian redban
Of course, she does this.
joe rogan
What did the girl say?
ari shaffir
She was so confused by it.
She's like, what is happening?
brian redban
That was really funny.
ari shaffir
What kind of world is this?
brian redban
That was awesome.
unidentified
Wow.
ari shaffir
Yeah, she was.
joe rogan
Wow, that's pretty crazy.
ari shaffir
Now she's in the Jesus.
brian redban
Is she really?
ari shaffir
Oh, no.
unidentified
Oh, no.
joe rogan
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Your ex is into Jesus?
ari shaffir
Yeah.
brian redban
You need to have her on a skeptic tank.
joe rogan
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
When was the last time you talked to her?
ari shaffir
We text sometimes.
joe rogan
Text.
What about in person?
ari shaffir
It's been about a year and a half.
unidentified
Wow.
joe rogan
In that time, she went to Jesus.
ari shaffir
She went to Jesus, yeah.
joe rogan
How long ago did you break up?
Two years?
unidentified
Three?
ari shaffir
No.
Four?
Four?
joe rogan
Four or five?
No, it was post the store.
We just figured that out, right?
That it's been five years since I quit going to the store.
ari shaffir
What, 2007?
brian redban
2007, February.
ari shaffir
Yeah, because when all that stuff happened, I had someone else.
That, I think we'd already broken up by that.
joe rogan
Wow, really?
ari shaffir
Yeah, so it's like five years ago.
joe rogan
Okay.
So, a year and a half ago she got into Jesus?
ari shaffir
Something like that.
unidentified
Wow.
ari shaffir
I'm not good with time.
Marijuana's definitely ruined that.
brian redban
Is that a guy?
unidentified
Time.
What?
brian redban
You think it's a guy that's into Jesus?
ari shaffir
No, no, no.
It's just like, you know, she didn't want to do whatever she was doing anymore.
People find the Jesus.
But then she started saying that she came to a sermon with me, and I'm like, stop it.
joe rogan
Whoa.
ari shaffir
You know it's all I can do not to mock you.
joe rogan
But meanwhile, she's really intelligent.
That's what's weird.
She was a very intelligent person.
ari shaffir
Super smart people like the Jesus all the time.
I don't quite get it.
brian redban
You've got to get her on the skeptic.
joe rogan
Yeah, I will.
ari shaffir
I'll get her on that.
joe rogan
There's a part of their...
They compartmentalize their logic.
That's what it is.
And the idea behind it is great.
The idea behind...
I mean, if it was real, goddammit, wouldn't it be beautiful?
Wouldn't it be beautiful if they're really...
And it is real, man!
unidentified
I'll tell you what, you need to find Jesus!
joe rogan
If you found Jesus, you would know!
But they're not lying to you when they say that.
It's because if you really do believe...
ari shaffir
You feel more fulfilled, I guess.
Then it's like, I'm happy for you if you're happy.
But like...
joe rogan
Well, she was...
ari shaffir
God, in what?
joe rogan
She probably wasn't happy.
You know, a lot of girls who do like...
They get wild and they like blow guys at the comedy store in front of people.
ari shaffir
Yeah.
joe rogan
Like that kind of behavior.
That kind of wild behavior.
That's fun if you're around people who think it's fun.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
But if you're not and you get judged by enough people who don't think that shit is funny, and if you're the type of person who does wild shit and tries to be funny and tries to have a good time and is a little impulsive, people will fucking judge you to the point where you start to think that your morals are really questionable and you're a fucked up person.
You need to get your shit together.
And if you hear that enough and you don't have a support system behind you, you'll crack.
ari shaffir
Maybe that's what it is.
joe rogan
She doesn't have you anymore.
I mean, think about it.
She's living with this guy.
I mean, you're my friend.
You're here and everything like that.
But you're a brilliant guy, okay?
You're very, very intelligent, very educated, very well-read.
And you're around her all the time, so you're having intelligent conversations with her.
And if people don't have that in their life, if all of a sudden they get cut off from that...
ari shaffir
And everyone's just telling you, don't do this, don't do that.
joe rogan
And you're around morons.
And you're around a giant swarm of moron influence and moron information.
ari shaffir
I was talking to those people in Minneapolis, and they were like, what would you rather have?
A... Virgin who's not good at sex or someone who's very good at sex but has had sex with a lot of people.
I'm like, definitely the one who's had sex with a lot of people.
What are you talking about?
But then you know she's had sex with people.
You're like, yeah, fine, that's fine.
joe rogan
Wake up, bitch.
ari shaffir
What are you talking about?
Of course, who cares?
joe rogan
Weak ass.
ari shaffir
Why do you care?
joe rogan
It's so silly.
As long as she's not all diseased up.
ari shaffir
Oh, yeah.
joe rogan
As long as she's not got the heavy.
brian redban
She's the virgin.
I'll teach her how to do it.
joe rogan
You like the virgin?
ari shaffir
No way.
Teach her how to do stuff.
joe rogan
She's like, ew, I don't want you sweating on me.
unidentified
Open up your spreadsheet.
That's all you need to do.
joe rogan
Ew, I feel bad.
Ew, I can't believe I gave it to you.
Ew.
Oh, they're gonna cry.
brian redban
She can talk.
Alright, he didn't say that.
unidentified
Oh, he didn't say that.
joe rogan
He's like a virgin alien.
ari shaffir
That wasn't part of their deal!
joe rogan
Yeah, you definitely want to go with the slut.
But you don't want to go with the crying.
The problem with a girl who's had sex with a lot of people is a lot of times they feel bad about it.
Or they've done it because there's some underlying issue.
ari shaffir
Anyone that's been around a little bit just seems like they're cool with sex.
joe rogan
Some of them.
ari shaffir
We'll have sex when we feel like having sex.
joe rogan
Some of them.
Some of them, yes.
And I'm just saying, the occasional bomb, the occasional one out of ten that starts crying ruins all the rest of the fun girls.
brian redban
Look at Wiza.
She hates sex.
She talks about how she hates having sex.
ari shaffir
That's too bad because everybody wants to fuck her.
joe rogan
Why does she hate it?
unidentified
I don't know.
brian redban
She's just like, a minute and a half, I'm done.
I just want it to be over with.
joe rogan
She seems super uncomfortable about a lot of shit, though.
She's a strange girl.
She's super aggressive, real competitive, loves her dog, holds onto the dog.
She's really quick and aggressive.
brian redban
I saw her at Sarah Tiana's birthday last night, and she didn't have her dog, so I'm looking around in her purse.
ari shaffir
What was she wearing last night?
Regular clothes?
brian redban
Yeah.
ari shaffir
She changes and gets dressed down before she goes on stage.
That's how cool she is as a comic.
She doesn't want to get judged by anybody looking at her or anything like that.
joe rogan
She's hot!
She's got a great body.
ari shaffir
She puts on a loose t-shirt and jeans and floppy jeans.
And then she goes back to the car, gets into nice clothes, attractive clothes, and then goes out with her girlfriends.
joe rogan
Sticks her ass out.
ari shaffir
What's up?
brian redban
I love sending her pictures of just random black dicks out of nowhere.
joe rogan
How does she react to that?
brian redban
She loves it.
joe rogan
Yeah, you say she loves it.
She might be saving them up in a portfolio for when you start getting rich.
She's going to fucking sue you.
How about that?
brian redban
Yeah, sure.
unidentified
Could be, man.
brian redban
I worry about that with any person I talk to.
ari shaffir
It's not sexual harassment if you just do it to a person, right?
joe rogan
Yeah, I don't know, man.
Is this stupid, loopy-ass fucking day?
brian redban
In comics to comics, I think you're safe doing that.
joe rogan
You would think, but I don't think it works that way, dude.
ari shaffir
The employee handbook for the La Jolla Comedy Store said, like, you cannot say anything of a racial manner to another employee.
You cannot say anything of a sexual manner to another employee.
It's like all these rules, but it goes...
But then he goes, with that being said, you will hear from on stage some of the worst imaginable language from any human.
That doesn't matter.
You still can't act like that to other employees.
You'll hear horribly things saying, super racist, super sexist, like every night.
joe rogan
Isn't that funny?
ari shaffir
Yeah.
joe rogan
If you work there and you're like a waiter and you try to be as funny as the comedians to your staff.
ari shaffir
No, not while you got the t-shirt on.
joe rogan
Yeah, you'll go to jail.
ari shaffir
Yeah.
joe rogan
They'll take everything.
ari shaffir
Get a lawsuit.
joe rogan
They'll take everything, man.
Fuck you, CNN. Here's an article.
George Clooney still open to marriage.
Fuck you.
ari shaffir
Still open to marriage?
brian redban
Do you hear what happened today in West Hollywood?
What?
This guy started...
This is what I heard on the way here, so I don't know what the full story is, but this guy started walking around these houses and kicking people's doors in and yelling, and then he kicked somebody's door down and then caught the house on fire and shot three people.
joe rogan
What?!
brian redban
Yeah, like two 38-year-old women and a 34-year-old guy.
ari shaffir
Whoa, today?
joe rogan
Okay, explain that again.
What happened?
ari shaffir
He kicked somebody's door down.
brian redban
He started kicking people's door down somewhere near Melrose.
And then he just started fucking shooting people and then caught some house on fire.
unidentified
Wow.
brian redban
Yeah.
But they were still figuring it out while I was driving here.
ari shaffir
Wow.
brian redban
Like, oh, we don't know what's going on.
joe rogan
Wow.
ari shaffir
That guy in Utah lit his kids on fire.
joe rogan
No, he killed him with a hatchet and then blew the house up.
ari shaffir
And then lit it on fire.
joe rogan
And then blew the house up.
ari shaffir
Why do I feel better about that?
joe rogan
It's horrific.
ari shaffir
I thought he just lit it all on fire to have to burn it up.
joe rogan
No, it's terrible.
What he did was the social worker came that was supposed to babysit him while he was with the kids.
He was supposed to be there.
He's not supposed to have...
ari shaffir
And they ran into the house.
joe rogan
He grabs them, pulls them in, pushes the guy out, kills the kids with a hammer.
The guy opens the door.
door he smells gas and then the uh the guy who kills the kids with a hatchet rather it blows up the house and kills all of them because if he can't have no one can i don't know what the reason i think he lost custody he killed the wife he killed he had killed the wife yeah he killed the wife and he was under suspicion of it and while he was under suspicion they found uh pornography questionable pornography on his computer questionable I heard what it was was child porn.
ari shaffir
That just proves he didn't love his wife because he had porn?
joe rogan
It was child porn, but it was animated.
It was animated child porn.
brian redban
Animated child porn?
That's so weird.
I didn't even think they had that.
joe rogan
This is, by the way, third-hand information.
ari shaffir
Do you know that Jerry Sandusky was trying to gain the right to go onto his back porch?
joe rogan
Oh, he was going on his back porch.
ari shaffir
Yeah, and while he was there, he was looking at...
joe rogan
An elementary school.
ari shaffir
An elementary school.
joe rogan
And you're like, what?
ari shaffir
That's where he lives?
brian redban
Yeah.
ari shaffir
So he can look at an elementary school?
That wasn't even part of the beginning part of the story?
brian redban
Right.
joe rogan
He's a monster.
That guy's a fucking monster.
ari shaffir
He wants a chance to see his grandkids so he can have one more before he goes away.
joe rogan
It's so crazy that that guy got as far as he got.
brian redban
One more taste.
joe rogan
When you hear him talk about it, it's scary as fuck.
Just the way he talked about it.
Are you attracted to children?
Am I attracted to children?
That's how he answered it.
He didn't say, No!
ari shaffir
No, no, stop.
joe rogan
No, no, of course not.
unidentified
What?
ari shaffir
I think he might be struggling with it really hard.
joe rogan
Oh, God.
Well, they say that almost everybody that is in that sort of a situation got molested when they were young.
ari shaffir
Yeah.
That's how those people reproduce.
joe rogan
Isn't it nuts?
ari shaffir
That's their method of reproduction.
joe rogan
What a fucking crazy thing.
ari shaffir
Yeah.
joe rogan
Isn't it nuts that you can imprint that into a child's mind?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
I mean, I don't think it's 100%.
ari shaffir
That's how you ensure the species moves on.
joe rogan
There's a lot of people that get molested that don't wind up doing that.
It's like people who are around when their father beats their mother.
Some people, they grow up to beat their wife as well.
It becomes, or if your parents beat you, you beat your kids.
And some of them, it's the opposite way.
They're like, there's no way I'd ever hit my kids.
brian redban
I think it just depends if you like it.
When I got molested by that babysitter, she was hot, and I loved it.
joe rogan
That's totally different.
You were like, how old were you?
Like 10 or 11. And she was a chick and she was pretty?
Yeah.
That was fun for me.
There's such a difference between a guy doing that to a little kid and a girl doing that to a little kid.
brian redban
Right.
joe rogan
I don't want some chick blowing my kids.
I wouldn't want to come home and some fucking hot chick is blowing a 10-year-old boy.
You know, I wouldn't want to see that.
That would be fucked up, and you would have to call the cops and everything, but man, it would be...
The only thing that would be traumatic is the poor guy would probably be in love with her.
You know, when you hear like a young...
ari shaffir
She's my favorite babysitter.
joe rogan
Yeah.
ari shaffir
Why can't you hire her anymore?
She was so much more fun than the other ones.
brian redban
Yeah, I'm friends with her on Facebook because I hunted her down.
I wanted to marry her.
ari shaffir
Now she's way older than you.
brian redban
She's still hot, dude.
Really?
joe rogan
Put up a link, dog.
brian redban
No, no, no.
ari shaffir
Just show me a picture on your phone.
Don't show it to the camera.
joe rogan
Listen, just tweet it.
No one's going to care.
ari shaffir
No, absolutely do not tweet it.
joe rogan
Look, people on Twitter are really cool.
ari shaffir
You can tweet it just a picture, but don't tweet her name.
brian redban
No, I can't even do that.
joe rogan
Tweet the shit out of the poker.
brian redban
This show's too big nowadays.
joe rogan
Tweet the shit out of that bitch.
What's her name?
brian redban
I'm not saying.
I almost fucking said it, too.
ari shaffir
That was a great...
It sounded reasonable, too, and it came out of your mouth.
I was like, yeah, I was like, oh, wait, no, that's all of it.
Just say your first and last name.
joe rogan
Really good at convincing people.
Okay, okay, what's your name?
It's the host of Fear Factor.
ari shaffir
You're like, it's way worse.
joe rogan
Which, by the way, is canceled forever.
ari shaffir
No, it got canceled again?
joe rogan
It's over.
For real?
It's over, folks.
Sorry.
ari shaffir
That sucks.
I'm sorry, man.
joe rogan
It's okay.
It's good.
brian redban
So it's 100% now.
joe rogan
It's too whore-like.
I enjoyed the money.
Thank you very much.
I enjoyed the time.
I enjoyed hanging out with all the Fear Factor people.
There's a fucking awesome group of people, but I'd rather do my own thing, even though it was great money.
I'm not hurting for money.
I'm all right.
ari shaffir
That's the only thing I feel bad for you for.
joe rogan
Yeah, it was fun money.
It was good, but the reality is I enjoy working for the UFC and doing comedy a hundred times more.
It was okay to do.
It was fun.
It was fun to be back with all the people.
I loved all the people and worked with them again, but...
The difference between the enjoyment you get of doing something that you really love doing and the enjoyment, it's still a badass job.
As far as jobs go, it's the fucking shit.
I would never complain about it.
I have in the past and it sounds really douchey.
ari shaffir
That's a problem.
No one can really understand that.
No one can really understand that you get complacent with it like you start expecting that kind of money once you get it.
joe rogan
It was fun because the people that I worked with were fun.
And the cast, the contestants this year were awesome.
There was a lot of great contestants.
A lot of really fucking funny people.
Really crazy people.
But it is what it is.
And it's over.
The end.
brian redban
I can't believe that.
joe rogan
It was hard for them to get advertisers for it.
ari shaffir
Oh, really?
joe rogan
Yeah.
ari shaffir
Damn, you should have aired that donkey one.
joe rogan
Yeah, I got it on my phone.
Nice.
What is that?
brian redban
That's the girl.
ari shaffir
Oh, that's her?
joe rogan
That's your former babysitter?
brian redban
Yeah.
joe rogan
Oh, shit.
ari shaffir
Let me see her.
I won't show anybody.
brian redban
She also does karate.
joe rogan
Some dude, she's wearing sunglasses indoors.
brian redban
She also does karate.
joe rogan
She does karate?
brian redban
Yeah.
ari shaffir
Oh, that's her now?
brian redban
Yeah.
ari shaffir
Yeah, that's not bad.
brian redban
That's what I'm saying.
ari shaffir
That's not bad.
Where'd she live?
joe rogan
Living thin.
brian redban
What's the...
You know, I don't even want to say it.
ari shaffir
Midwestern?
brian redban
Yeah.
ari shaffir
Midwestern, yeah.
If you catch that in the Midwest, that's totally fine.
You're like, yeah, that's great.
brian redban
She's like a black belt in karate or something like that.
joe rogan
Nice.
You should kick your ass and suck your dick.
brian redban
She has a nice family now.
joe rogan
Yeah?
She's got kids?
brian redban
Yeah.
You haven't heard my bit.
joe rogan
No.
Do you have a bit about it?
unidentified
Yeah, because I'll see you Friday night at the Ice House in Pasadena.
joe rogan
What time's the show?
brian redban
Show's at 10 o'clock and go to icehousecomedy.com.
unidentified
Are you going?
ari shaffir
I'm going to be there.
brian redban
Yes!
joe rogan
Shafir's in the house!
brian redban
I think Moshe's going to be there.
ari shaffir
Moshe Kasher.
brian redban
Yeah, and Doug Pound, DJ Doug Pound from Tim and Eric.
joe rogan
I'm going to try to get Arch Barker to come down as well because he just said that he's there Friday night until Monday afternoon.
Maybe I'll get him to come early and we'll do a podcast with him before the Ice House.
brian redban
Awesome.
unidentified
What's up?
ari shaffir
Oh yeah, smart.
How long is he here from Australia?
Till Monday.
joe rogan
He said till Monday.
And Ice House Chronicles, what we do is, the Ice House shows are some of my favorite shows ever.
The stand-up shows and the podcast shows.
We have a studio in the Ice House in Pasadena.
It's a separate room.
And what we do is we start the show and we start a podcast just a little bit before the show.
And then people just run back, do a set, and then come back and hang out.
It's a fucking best hangout.
ari shaffir
It's so fun.
unidentified
The last one, I got so fucking high from that weed.
brian redban
Oh, that weed's awesome.
unidentified
I was shaking, and then Brody was supposed to be on in front of me.
brian redban
He's like, I can't, Brody's like, I can't go up.
unidentified
And I'm like, either can I? And I'm like, I've never been to Stone before.
brian redban
And I had to go up.
I was forced to go up on stage.
I had the best set I've ever had in my life.
joe rogan
Oh, you can go up totally high if you know your interior.
brian redban
It worked.
It worked.
ari shaffir
Are you sure?
Or was it like that time in Facts of Life?
brian redban
No.
ari shaffir
She wrote, had this right to support, and she kept professing, and then she got high and wrote it, and she was like, that's so long.
unidentified
I wrote it.
brian redban
It was definitely the best set I've ever had.
ari shaffir
But the next morning, it was a terrible report.
joe rogan
You take bad Facts of Life.
ari shaffir
It wasn't Jill.
Who was the rich girl?
Not Foodie.
joe rogan
Blair?
ari shaffir
Blair, yeah, yeah, it was Blair.
joe rogan
Blair was kind of hot but a little chubby.
ari shaffir
And it was like three words per page.
joe rogan
She was a little chubby but hot.
ari shaffir
She had to fight it.
I'm sure they had network heads going, listen, you need you to eat less right now.
joe rogan
But she was a good kisser.
ari shaffir
Probably.
joe rogan
She kissed you like you were ice cream.
ari shaffir
I gotta watch that show again with them in mind as just young, young women in a boarding house.
joe rogan
And how much were they fucking on the side?
ari shaffir
Probably a bunch.
joe rogan
It's probably hard for a woman who's in a position like that where they become super, super successful.
It's probably hard for them to find mates.
If a woman is making a ton of money, like a Jennifer Aniston type woman, she's dating some regular dude now, right?
Isn't she dating some regular guy?
ari shaffir
It's hard to get someone to look at you as a regular person.
That takes a long time.
joe rogan
Well, not only that, man, I think for women, it's like a normal thing for the man to be more successful than the woman.
And when the woman is like way more successful than the man, I think it gets sketchy.
ari shaffir
Yeah.
joe rogan
You know?
ari shaffir
I was in some waiting room at some dentist or something, and I saw a magazine with the one hot chick from, or not the one hot chick, but from the Desperate Housewives.
The one who used to be on Superman.
Lois and Superman.
joe rogan
Oh, the fake.
unidentified
Eva?
Eva.
ari shaffir
Not even Longoria.
The one who's just slightly less hot than even Longoria.
joe rogan
Oh.
ari shaffir
Terri Hatcher.
Terri Hatcher.
Yeah, and she said...
joe rogan
Terri Hatcher.
unidentified
Terri Hatcher.
joe rogan
Who's way hotter.
ari shaffir
We ended up getting it.
joe rogan
Terri Hatcher would be a shit if they just put her in one of those shows.
ari shaffir
Yeah.
But she said from now on she's never going to let herself pay for a date.
She still expects everyone to pay.
joe rogan
Really?
ari shaffir
Yeah, because that's how it works.
joe rogan
What?
unidentified
I don't know.
joe rogan
That's ridiculous.
She's worth like $100 million.
ari shaffir
Yeah, I'm like, what do you mean you have so much more money to make?
Just pay for it.
joe rogan
Yeah, no, Ari.
You have to pay for it.
You have to buy her dinner and then beg her for sex.
ari shaffir
Yeah.
joe rogan
And then, you know what?
She's probably not into you anyway, so...
ari shaffir
Probably not.
joe rogan
Yeah, you'd have to be like some Brad Pitt type dude to stimulate a woman like that.
ari shaffir
Oh, yeah.
joe rogan
You'd have to be like someone even more famous than her, or even more powerful than her.
I mean, I would think.
You would say no.
I mean, people would say, you're fucking ridiculous.
Your point of view is stupid.
It's asinine.
There is a certain chimpanzee logic to it.
ari shaffir
Yeah, they want someone to do that to them.
joe rogan
They want an alpha.
ari shaffir
Sometimes, some people.
joe rogan
Even the ones that don't, man.
How long do these last?
Like our friend, for instance, who will remain nameless, who recently left his girl, who will also remain nameless, and he was in the beta position during the entire relationship.
I knew.
I'm like, this shit ain't going to work.
How the fuck is this going to work?
Women like that always complain that the dude doesn't have any money.
ari shaffir
But the other ones don't work either.
joe rogan
Those ones were better.
ari shaffir
All of his other relationships, when he was the alpha, it doesn't work either.
joe rogan
When was he ever the alpha?
ari shaffir
I don't know.
brian redban
Yeah, what are you talking about?
unidentified
I don't know.
How dare you.
brian redban
I've never seen that turn around.
joe rogan
How dare you make shit up?
unidentified
I don't know.
That's a good point.
joe rogan
Anyway, go to JoeRogan.net.

joe rogan
Manhattan Theater?
You sure that's it?
brian redban
Something like that, yeah.
joe rogan
And I'm in Alberta.
Calgary.
Remember that place we did in Calgary?
We had to have extra seats on stage.
Yeah, we had a break.
ari shaffir
It was great.
joe rogan
That was awesome.
brian redban
We need to play Japan while we're there.
There's a comedy store in there in Japan or something like that.
joe rogan
I want to just go hang out.
If you want to go to the comedy store, we'll go and...
brian redban
Isn't there one?
Like a comedy store?
joe rogan
A comedy something.
brian redban
Something like that.
We'll find it.
ari shaffir
Brazil was fun just to hang out.
joe rogan
Yeah, we had a good time.
Ari and I, we had some real Brazilian chuhascaria.
How good was that fucking meat?
unidentified
It was so good.
ari shaffir
We went back.
joe rogan
We went back two days in a row like that.
ari shaffir
It was so good.
So many different flavors, too.
joe rogan
Dude, Rio is amazing.
ari shaffir
That's why I got in this coconut water.
I was just walking on the beach and they sell those coconuts for two or three L's or whatever and they just chop it open and give you a straw.
brian redban
You know, they sell that here in Los Angeles as fruit stands.
Oh, really?
You're a Mexican with a fruit stand.
They have coconuts in there and they just chop it up and give you a straw.
ari shaffir
It's so nice.
brian redban
Joey Diaz taught me about that.
By the way, me and Joey Diaz are in Columbus, Ohio.
joe rogan
Oh, when are you doing that?
unidentified
I think it's the weekend, Yeah, they asked for me and Joey.
joe rogan
That's awesome.
That's awesome.
brian redban
Isn't that crazy?
joe rogan
That's awesome.
Perfect.
brian redban
First time ever on the road.
unidentified
Yeah.
ari shaffir
May 19th?
unidentified
Yeah.
ari shaffir
Something like that.
joe rogan
Count your tickets.
You know what I'm saying?
brian redban
Count your tickets.
joe rogan
Dude, that guy.
You know this fucking guy.
brian redban
I'm just going to make some posters.
I'm going to bring a Death Squad poster.
joe rogan
Who has booked this?
Did Joey book it?
unidentified
Joey booked it.
Some woman came up to him and said she wanted to book me and Joey.
joe rogan
That's awesome.
That's great.
At the same club, the Funny Bone?
brian redban
Funny Bone, and then we're trying to do...
We're also doing maybe Scully's on Ohio State campus, or we might do Cleveland.
ari shaffir
The Funny Bone is the shit.
joe rogan
Yeah, Cleveland's good.
Skip over and do the improv in Cleveland.
The Funny Bone in Columbia is an awesome fucking club.
It's one of the great clubs in the country as far as how it's low and tight.
ari shaffir
Yeah, it is, low ceilings.
joe rogan
Yeah, that's a great fucking place.
All right, so that's all that information.
Higherprimate.com.
ari shaffir
Can I have some dates?
joe rogan
Fuck yeah, what do you got?
ari shaffir
Well, on March 15th, I'm doing Easton, Maryland at the Avalon Theater.
joe rogan
Do you have a website where everybody can see all your dates if they don't remember this?
ari shaffir
AriTheGreat.com.
joe rogan
Boom!
ari shaffir
You can remember that.
AriTheGreat.com.
They're all up there right now.
unidentified
Ari Shaffir on Twitter.
joe rogan
A-R-I-S-H-A-F-F-I-R on Twitter.
ari shaffir
I'll be in Addison on April 12th to the 15th at the Addison Improv.
The Improvs will finally let me headline.
joe rogan
That's awesome, dude.
Addison, Texan.
This is the shit!
Addison apparently was the one city in Dallas back in the olden days where you could drink.
That's why it's wild.
Really?
ari shaffir
In Prohibition, you could still drink there?
joe rogan
Well, not during Prohibition.
They used to have weird laws about the city of Dallas, but Addison was where you could go to drink and smoke.
I think you might still be able to smoke in the club.
It might be one of the last places.
Maybe they changed that.
I hope they didn't.
Even though I hate cigarettes, I also like personal freedom.
ari shaffir
Yeah, that's a problem.
That's the one where it infringes on other people.
joe rogan
Yeah, it's stinky.
Well, the real issue is for people who work there.
It's stinky.
But it's also, there's something about girls that smoke.
They're sluttier.
ari shaffir
Yeah, you just know that they make decisions that don't matter.
joe rogan
Yeah, they're crazy bitches.
ari shaffir
They're great.
joe rogan
They're throwing cigarettes out the window, and they're not even thinking about where it goes.
ari shaffir
I love girls.
joe rogan
It's a sign.
They're shoving a dick down their mouth.
The loads go off.
They're not thinking about what's going in there.
They're not thinking about that stinky dick.
ari shaffir
Obviously not 100% of the time, but it helps your odds.
It increases the odds of finding a where.
joe rogan
Substantially.
You see a girl with red nail polish, and she's chewing gum.
And she spits her gum out into the bushes and then lights a cigarette.
That girl might suck her dick.
ari shaffir
And you're like, hey, so what are we doing later?
joe rogan
Yeah, that girl might be crazy.
She's not thinking about shit.
She's just living for momentary little blips of thrills.
If you're interested in coming to the Ice House, go to, what is it?
brian redban
Icehousecomedy.com and search for Joe Rogan or Death Squad.
joe rogan
Yeah, stage two.
Look for stage two.
Because that's what we're doing.
And Matt and Mark, we're going to do a fuckload of dates there.
Because I'm going to be around most of March.
ari shaffir
You think you're all Mr. Fear Factor?
unidentified
You think you're all Fear Factor?
ari shaffir
I forgot about that girl.
joe rogan
That girl in Boston, that monster.
You're going to tell your friends.
She was having something with our friend.
ari shaffir
That accent is just so bad.
joe rogan
And while they were doing it, she was going, You're going to tell your friends.
That's right.
You're going to tell your friends.
ari shaffir
No one's going to know about this.
joe rogan
Yeah, he told us.
It's because it was gross.
He told us the opposite.
Not like he was a stud.
ari shaffir
Not bragging him.
joe rogan
He told us how sad it was.
Here he is, sobering up while he's half-hard inside of her.
unidentified
And she's going, you're going to tell your friends.
Oh, no.
ari shaffir
I saw a girl walk across that old, what was that old room that they don't have anymore?
joe rogan
Connection?
ari shaffir
Yeah, comedy connection.
And she was super hot.
Walked all the way across the room, like outside there.
And I was like, and she's looking right at me.
And she just comes over.
She was going to the bathroom, but she stopped and came to me.
unidentified
She goes, you're a wicked pissy funny or whatever crap.
ari shaffir
I'm like, ugh.
joe rogan
You're a wicked pisser.
brian redban
Wicked pisser funny.
joe rogan
Killed it all.
You just teach her how to talk different.
She'd be fine.
ari shaffir
Yeah, sure.
joe rogan
You think you can do that though?
ari shaffir
I couldn't have the patience to do that.
brian redban
You know, that girl I used to date from Texas, Jessica, she would have the thickest, when I first met her, the thickest accent.
It was just like, aw, y'all.
It sounded like she was a hillbilly.
Then she moved to LA, completely lost it.
ari shaffir
And then moved back, completely got it again.
I bet when she went home to visit, it came back a little stronger, right?
Yeah, it did.
joe rogan
I would have asked her to keep it.
I love that accent.
Texas accent's my favorite.
Those are real women.
Those are women.
You know what I mean?
They want to be women.
They don't want to be president.
They don't want to be running shit.
They like being women.
The manlier areas where the men are manly, who's manlier than Texas dudes?
It's like big belt buckles and fucking trucks.
Those are the womanly women.
You know, whereas you get to San Francisco, you get chicks that want to fucking stuff a Birkenstock up your ass and scream at you because, you know, you don't want to give them the right to choose.
Obviously, these are generalizations, folks.
unidentified
We're just talking here.
brian redban
It's impossible for girls in Texas to even roll their eyes.
ari shaffir
Really?
Why?
They're just so, like, laid back?
brian redban
They're not allowed.
joe rogan
Go to higherprimate.com if you're interested in monkeys and weed and psychedelics.
That's my t-shirt line.
Brian's reminding me.
He's right.
brian redban
You need sales, too.
You never have sales or coupons for that.
joe rogan
Okay, I'll get a coupon.
ari shaffir
Yeah, you should have a sale.
Old stuff that you're not going to sell much anymore.
brian redban
People keep on asking me.
joe rogan
I need to make a coupon code.
ari shaffir
But you know what bands do?
This is my new thing.
I think you should do it.
A t-shirt of the year.
Every year.
Some new design.
joe rogan
Oh, that's a good idea.
ari shaffir
You know, because they have the old last year's t-shirt, it's 50% off.
joe rogan
You know what we should do?
We should do a Joe Rogan Experience podcast t-shirt by this dude.
ari shaffir
Which dude?
joe rogan
Worldwide Sweatpants, whatever the fuck his name is.
Mike Maxwell?
Formal Sweatpants?
brian redban
Formal Sweatpants.
joe rogan
That's Formal Sweatpants.
That's not Mike Maxwell.
But Maxwell did a great job with the Chicago posters, too.
ari shaffir
Yeah, have this guy do a t-shirt, but that's your 2012 t-shirt.
joe rogan
Yeah, it's not a bad idea.
What should it be on it?
brian redban
The Death Squad Cat?
joe rogan
I'm tired of that cat, bro.
Especially when you changed him.
You changed him just to fuck Monkey Todd over.
brian redban
I know what you did.
joe rogan
All those guys that have that tattoo.
brian redban
It's a marketing move.
ari shaffir
That's why.
That guy said, hey, I'm going to get a tattoo.
I'm like, don't do that.
Don't fucking build heroes out of nowhere.
joe rogan
Well, it's cool.
It's like the old Marvel logo.
It's kind of even hipper.
The old cat.
brian redban
Exactly.
It's a marketing move.
joe rogan
It's a good move.
ari shaffir
We started this new drink at the comedy store.
joe rogan
It's called Suck My Cock?
ari shaffir
No, it's delicious.
It's a Shirley Temple with cherry rum.
joe rogan
Oh, what is it?
ari shaffir
It's a Shirley Temple with cherry rum in it.
And so at first we called it Shirley's Period.
But then we thought that just wouldn't catch on enough.
So we called it Temple of Doom.
Way easier off the tongue.
Yeah, exactly.
So now it's just going to be, hey, you know what they originally called this?
joe rogan
Oh, right.
ari shaffir
It's going to be part of the folklore.
joe rogan
And so that's a drink that they sell at the store now?
ari shaffir
Yeah, we invented it, yeah.
joe rogan
Oh, that's cool.
ari shaffir
Only the front bar would know about it, and I guess the back bar.
joe rogan
Well, if you order it, though, someone could ask someone.
If you're there, if you're working, they could order it.
ari shaffir
Anytime the front bar is open, they all know now.
joe rogan
Everybody knows now.
ari shaffir
You invented a fucking drink.
joe rogan
Do you get a copyright on that already?
ari shaffir
No, just some satisfaction.
I hope that takes off.
joe rogan
That'd be badass if we were in Vegas a couple years from now.
We ordered Temple of Dooms and everybody knew what it was.
ari shaffir
It's so delicious.
brian redban
Right before you had gay sex.
ari shaffir
You could have it super alcohol-y.
You can't taste it.
joe rogan
Podcast's over, Brian.
unidentified
How dare you.
joe rogan
How dare you.
So we'll try to get Arge Barker for tomorrow.
No guarantees, though.
But for sure we will have an Ice House Chronicles.
ari shaffir
I think they might send me to Australia.
to what for Insight Time or do like a run of the cities oh one night in each city they might send you who are the people that we worked with my agent oh your agent I don't know if he's talking A-list he's talking to oh that's cool isn't that the people that we worked with when we were there I'm not sure is it yeah I'm pretty sure that'd be cool oh yeah Kylie yeah yeah they were great Yeah, Australia's awesome, man.
joe rogan
It's just too far away.
ari shaffir
I would go for like two weeks.
joe rogan
For those asking about the UFC in Australia, I'm not going.
I'm not going to any of the FX or Fuel shows.
What?
Yeah, no more.
ari shaffir
They're on four channels.
joe rogan
I'm doing only the ones that are on pay-per-view and the Fox ones.
Those are the ones I'm doing.
So I got to watch last night.
Jake Ellenberger and Diego Sanchez went to war.
Holy shit, that was a great fight.
unidentified
Classic.
joe rogan
Fight of the Year candidate.
ari shaffir
You should do one of those drunk casts now that you're not going to do them.
joe rogan
Totally should.
We should have done that last night.
Next time.
Next time we'll do that.
We'll do a drunk cast.
ari shaffir
Yeah, why not?
joe rogan
Yeah, we'll do it.
We'll broadcast.
ari shaffir
I've never done one of those.
joe rogan
You know what?
I'll set up a fucking TV in here.
I'll bring a TV in here.
brian redban
We'll just do it at the Ice House.
joe rogan
You don't have a TV at the Ice House.
And we're not going to do it illegal, you fuckhead.
brian redban
No, we don't have to do it illegal.
We just rent it on Xbox.
joe rogan
Oh, you can rent it on Xbox?
brian redban
Yeah.
unidentified
Really?
brian redban
Yeah, or just get me an Xbox code from Dana.
I'm sure he has one of those.
joe rogan

We're doing all the right things, people.
ari shaffir
Really?
joe rogan
Yes.
We're doing all the right things.
We're trying to keep it together.
It's all for the positive.
It's all for you.
This whole thing's for you.
It's for you.
It's for me.
Because we are all one.
And as we grow, you grow with us.
You are not the you that you used to be.
You are the accumulation of all your life's experiences.
And from now on, be the best person you possibly can be.
The funniest, the coolest, have your shit together, be the hero in your own story.

This should be an F for the Marines.
joe rogan
Should.
I should be a fucking recruiting angel.
I'm going to start my own Marines.
Someday.
ari shaffir
We should start a cult.
joe rogan
We're going to start one.
We're definitely going to start a compound.
You want to build a house?
I'm thinking of no bullshit.
I'm thinking of buying a giant chunk of land near a lake and we all build houses there.
ari shaffir
Just build houses like Amish people?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Well, listen, man.
I will buy the land.
So we'll loan the land, and then I'll allow all my friends to come and build houses.
Let's just have some badass houses on this piece of property.
Does that not sound like a good idea?
ari shaffir
And if we hear the incoming soon, we're like, hey, you want to go over there and do it?
joe rogan
I would be willing to do Fear Factor for one more season, just for the money for that.
I think it's a good idea.
ari shaffir
You're willing to do Fairfactor anyway for one more time.
joe rogan
I would have kept going.
That's why I'm glad it ended.
ari shaffir
Terrible bargaining position.
