brian redban

joe rogan
No, it's not.
No.
The two-pill dose is the recommended dose.
jim jefferies
Does it help your thinking, your memory?
joe rogan
It helps your memory.
It helps clinically proven so far.
jim jefferies
That's the weird thing about memory, though.
I never know where the mind's going because I've forgotten the things that I can't remember.
joe rogan
That's true.
jim jefferies
I think I remember everything, but obviously I don't know what I've forgotten.
joe rogan
It's whether or not you're trying to pull it up.
I'll give you some Alphabrain.
You'll run your own Jim Jefferies clinical trial.
unidentified
Yeah, man.
joe rogan
Onnit.com.

O-N-N-I-T. Code word ROGAN. If you don't know how to spell my name, go fuck yourself.
Jim Jeffries is here.
Why fuck around and play games when we can just get to the podcast?
unidentified
The Joe Rogan experience.
Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day.
That's Nick Diaz.
jim jefferies
Yeah.
joe rogan
so That never leaves.
That will stay on.
You had a question about Elvis.
jim jefferies
These are all mug shots you've got on your wall here.
You've got an Elvis mug shot there.
I wear a t-shirt often with the Sinatra mugshot.
joe rogan
Ah, I got that one.
I have it framed in my house.
jim jefferies
That's a good one.
What was he done for there?
joe rogan
It was...
What is the word that they used?
jim jefferies
Adultery.
joe rogan
No, it wasn't adultery.
It was...
jim jefferies
It was shagging a guy's wife, right?
joe rogan
Yes, it was shagging a guy's wife, but the word that they used...
Seduction.
That's the word that it says on the actual mug sheet.
jim jefferies
That's right.
That photo of Sinatra, that mug shot, he looks better there than I've ever looked in any photo in my life where professionals have taken it and they've taken a thousand photos and they still look like shit.
joe rogan
Well, did you notice how little he was?
jim jefferies
Yeah.
joe rogan
The mugshot photo, I think it says 125 pounds.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Is he 125 or 135?
jim jefferies
He was only a slight fella.
joe rogan
Yeah.
jim jefferies
But also, we even talk about Elvis.
We go in, Elvis, at the end, he was fat.
Elvis was fat.
He was like 220 pounds.
I'm like sitting at a cruisy 211 at the moment.
You know what I mean?
I go down up to about 215, I go down to about 195, and I go through that spectrum my whole life, right?
But Elvis was, by today's standards, just, he was alright.
Yeah, see, that's what I look like now.
That's at the very end.
He was anywhere between 220 and 230, but what was the mugshot for?
joe rogan
That's only 220 or 230?
jim jefferies
Well, he was probably shorter than me.
I'm 6'1", so I get a little bit of leeway.
He's probably, what, 5'10", Elvis?
joe rogan
Yeah, how tall was 5'10"?
God damn, he got fat.
jim jefferies
But he was dead like a year later.
joe rogan
Yeah, he was on his way out.
He died on my sister's birthday.
I'll never forget.
brian redban
Really?
jim jefferies
He died the year I was born.
I always liked the fact that I was alive when John Lennon and Elvis Presley were alive.
joe rogan
Apparently the picture was taken just for fun.
jim jefferies
Oh, the mugshot, so he never went to prison for anything?
joe rogan
No, Elvis was a law enforcement nut, and the picture was taken just for fun.
That's according to one site on the internet.
jim jefferies
Because that could have been when he went to visit the FBI and visited Nixon and all that type of stuff, because he was there.
He visited Nixon for the war against drugs.
joe rogan
Yeah, it's hilarious.
Against the Beatles.
Man, these Beatles.
They're all doing drugs, and we gotta stop that.
jim jefferies
We gotta stop it.
joe rogan
We gotta stop it, man.
He was apparently arrested in the 1950s for speeding, but that was before he made it.
Well, when did he make it?
jim jefferies
About 1954, I reckon, would have been around that era.
Sun Records and all that shit.
joe rogan
Well, that would be him then.
That would be like right as he made it, he was speeding.
jim jefferies
Yeah, but he was only in his early 20s.
Like 18-year-old speeding in the car.
We all got those.
I remember the first time I got caught speeding, I was 16, and I just didn't have the money, so I thought if I broke down in tears, the cop would...
I thought, oh my god, I don't have the money.
unidentified
Did it work?
jim jefferies
No, of course he didn't.
He just fucking fired me.
And the worst thing is, my brother is a cop, and he reported it to my brother, and then my brother teased me in the near future.
Yeah.
My brother used to do awful things.
My brother's named Danny Nugent.
I don't think that's bad to say.
He's a member of the Riot Squad now.
I was driving home at 17, which is still not the legal age to drink in Australia.
And I'm driving home, and I had two beers.
Now, I would have been under the limit, but still I'm not even allowed to have two beers in me because I'm 17, right?
I get pulled up, I get breathalyzed, the guy goes, please breathe in the tube, and I said, my brother was a sergeant at that stage, and I was like, oh, you know Danny Nugent?
You know Danny Nugent?
He goes, no, I never heard of him, right?
So he goes off to his vehicle.
He's there for like 15 minutes.
I'm just sitting in the car just panicking now.
He comes back out and he goes, step out of the vehicle.
Is there a problem?
Anything of it?
Just step out of the vehicle right now.
So step out.
He cuffs me and smacks me onto the bonnet of the car.
Right?
And I start, oh Jesus Christ!
unidentified
Oh fuck!
Fuck!
Fuck!
jim jefferies
Like this, right?
And then I hear my brother laughing on the radio.
Like, he's actually gone back to his car, radioed the station, talked to my brother, and he's scared the shit out of him.
You know what I mean?
And because it's cops, and they're going, oh, we're just joking with you.
Like, I'm wiping tears away from my eyes.
Like, good joke, guys.
unidentified
Well done.
Thanks for that.
jim jefferies
But, you know, I still have one more line of defense, and it's mum.
Went and told mum on him.
joe rogan
How'd that go?
What does your mum do?
jim jefferies
Well, my mum is still angry because I shouldn't have been drinking to begin with and blah, blah, blah.
I still got in trouble for that.
But, yeah, it's...
Now he's like...
He's in the SWAT team, so he's like the guy who, you know, fucking wears the helmets and swings him in the machine gun type of thing.
joe rogan
Jesus Christ.
jim jefferies
And the thing is, for the longest time, my parents were so like, oh, your brother's the cop.
It was like the most upstanding job you could have in our family.
And so my brother became a weapons trainer before he was in the SWAT team, so he would learn different holds and restraints and stuff like that.
There was many a Christmas where I'd stand there, and then my brother would go, yeah, we've been traveling over to America.
We've learned some new holds from the American cops.
And we learnt one where we can basically restrain the person until their whole shoulder goes numb and they can't, like this.
And then my mum goes, do it on gym.
No, I don't want you to fucking do it.
Why are you doing this to me?
unidentified
Right?
jim jefferies
Then he comes up and grabs.
I goes, don't touch me.
He goes, see how he's resisting, mum?
See how he's resisting?
Always end with me with my fucking head in a shag pile, just crying again.
joe rogan
Your fucking mom, man.
Your mom sold you down the river?
I would think that mom's the last thing they would want to see is one son torturing the other son.
jim jefferies
No, no.
Because my father wasn't much of a physical disciplinarian, my mother was very keen on using my eldest brother as the muscle when we got too big.
unidentified
Oh.
joe rogan
How old's your oldest brother?
jim jefferies
My oldest brother's seven years older than me.
joe rogan
Oh, that's a big gap.
jim jefferies
And then I have another brother that's five years older than me.
joe rogan
Oh, Jesus.
That's why you're funny.
jim jefferies
And I was meant to be a girl because my mom desperately wanted to have a baby girl.
So she gave it one more go.
And then when I didn't come out a baby girl, she didn't unwrap the blanket for the first four days.
For the first month, she never unwrapped the blanket because she didn't want to see my genitalia.
And she didn't hold me for the first four days.
joe rogan
Whoa.
jim jefferies
She went into such depression over having another boy.
And then she got really passionate about collecting porcelain dolls.
So there was four men living in her house and this house that was just filled with fucking creepy dolls.
Remember in the old days when you could put something on top of your TV? That was sort of a joy.
Like you'd go go-karting, you'd beat your brother and you had the first trophy.
So for a week you'd put that on top of the TV because you know he'd constantly be looking at it and niggle the shit out of him.
Those days are gone, right?
But my mother would always have like a different porcelain doll or maybe like a...
A porcelain clown juggling one of those little statuettes.
Something very upsetting would always be looking at you whilst you were trying to enjoy a Betamax version of Star Wars.
joe rogan
When did you find out about the not being held?
jim jefferies
She told me.
She tells me all the time that she always wanted to have a girl.
She didn't even have a boy's name ready to go.
joe rogan
Oh my god.
jim jefferies
Like, she was just...
And she didn't want to have the ultrasound.
She didn't want to know.
It wasn't...
joe rogan
What the fuck is wrong with people when it comes to wanting the gender so badly that they get upset?
jim jefferies
And the thing is, my mum...
It's not like she's a super effeminate woman where she would have been a good...
Like, it might be...
Like, I'm not a good-looking guy, but my parents would have made her an horrendous-looking woman.
Like, it would have been just a chinless, pale thing, just with thin, wispy hair.
It wouldn't have been a good looking girl.
A boy is the best thing they could have hoped for with the fucking piss that's been pissed into my gene pool already.
From the different sides.
I've got a great story about...
joe rogan
But women don't see that.
jim jefferies
Yeah, of course they don't.
joe rogan
If you're a woman and you're surrounded by men, I think it would be really frustrating.
jim jefferies
My mother's 300 pounds and she thought she...
I don't know whether the intention was to make a hot chick.
I don't know if that was...
She just wanted to make a girl.
But I've got a story that I don't want to tell in front of my girlfriend because it will upset her because it will make my life a bit harder.
And I don't want to tell it on any Tonight shows or anything.
So I'll tell it here.
I just did a zombie movie in Australia, which isn't anything to do with this story, but I was in Australia.
And so I'm in Australia.
My parents drive to Canberra, where we're at, on the weekend to spend a day with me.
And it's fair enough, I haven't seen my parents in six months or something.
So I'm spending time with my mum and dad.
Now, back in the early 90s, my father was getting closer to retirement, and then he found a credit card bill because my mother took care of the money, found out that she'd run up $90,000 worth of bills, which meant my dad had to work an extra sort of eight years past retirement to pay these all off, and she'd kept it all secret.
So now my parents have got to retirement.
They own the house, and they just get a pension of like, Australian government gives each person like $300 a week pension, which is like $260 American, right?
So my parents live off that and then But my father takes care of all the money.
He pays all the bills, and he balances the books, because my mum can't be trusted when it comes to shopping.
And so I'm talking to my parents, and my mum goes, all I want is my half of the money, his half of the money, and then he can have his half of the money, we'll split the bills, and then I can do what I want with my money.
But instead, I'm given an allowance because I'm not responsible enough for money.
I said, mum, you can't take care of the money, mum.
You can't, because you'll fuck it up.
You'll go online, you've...
You've found internet shopping now.
You'll fuck it up.
You'll lose everything.
Get more credit cards.
It'll be terrible.
And she goes, oh, I'm not the problem with money anymore.
Your father's the one that spends all the money.
Now, we're in a public bar, by the way.
There's many people sitting around us.
It's a very public, open area.
Your father's the one who spends all the money now.
And then she points to my dad and goes, tell him.
Tell him what you spend your money on.
And I've already clicked what this might be.
And I've gone, oh, look, I don't want to know.
I don't want to know.
And then my mother goes, your father gets prostitutes.
Right?
unidentified
And I've gone, oh, God, just shut up, both of you, please, for fuck's sake.
joe rogan
Oh, my God.
jim jefferies
And she's gone, yep, every Wednesday, your father, before he goes to play lawn bowls, goes off and gets himself a prostitute.
And then my dad went, not every Wednesday.
unidentified
LAUGHTER He didn't even try to deny it.
jim jefferies
It was just not every Wednesday.
It makes him sound like at least three out of four Wednesdays.
joe rogan
He takes a week off every now and again.
jim jefferies
Yeah, like it costs him in Australian money for a very cheap prostitute.
It's legal in Australia in a brothel.
Maybe a hundred bucks for a pretty low-end sort of girl.
A rub and tug power.
brian redban
So he went to a place to get it done.
He didn't.
jim jefferies
No, no, no.
It's not like here where you've got to go to a hotel and all that type of stuff.
There's just brothels in there.
They're very legal and they're very well signposted and stuff.
It's not such a big deal in Australia.
It actually makes it a bit safer, if anything, because the girls have to get tested.
They have to bring their results in all the time and they're paying taxes.
joe rogan
It definitely makes it safer.
It's like everything else.
As soon as the government says it can't be illegal when it's something that people really enjoy doing...
jim jefferies
Lowers divorce substantially.
joe rogan
Of course it does.
jim jefferies
I'm sure it does.
I don't begrudge my dad for doing this.
I just don't want to hear about them.
They're in their 70s.
My mom's morbidly obese.
My dad's still quite fit.
Of course, he wants to get his end away sometimes.
joe rogan
His end away.
There's a book called Sex at Dawn by this guy.
Dr. Chris Ryan.
I do a podcast with him once a month.
And he basically goes over in great detail what is the root cause of the reason why men want to breed with more than one woman.
Why does marriage do so poorly?
Why do so many people want to stray?
It's genetic.
It's 100% genetic.
If you could squash that with...
Robot fuck dolls or prostitution that's legal.
Whatever you have that's non-relationship based.
jim jefferies
Yeah, or ruining anyone else's life.
joe rogan
You're just getting some sex.
That's it.
Only sex.
Are prostitutes over in Australia, are they thought of differently than prostitutes here?
Is it not that big of a deal?
jim jefferies
It's not as big of a deal.
They are thought of...
They're not given a load of respect or anything.
It's not like...
They're heroes.
In Germany and Holland and stuff, it's really not a big deal.
No, it's still kept...
Fairly, you know, the clubs are called things, like the big one in Melbourne is called the Daily Planet.
And it looks like the front of the Daily Planet from Superman with the big globe.
That's awesome!
joe rogan
That's in Melbourne?
jim jefferies
That's in Melbourne.
That's the brothel I went to when I took my friend with muscular dystrophy to the brothel, which is what my TV show Legit, which is on Wednesdays on FXX at 10pm.
We need ratings.
But that was the whole basis of my TV show, was taking a disabled guy to a brothel, yeah.
joe rogan
Wow.
jim jefferies
This season, incidentally, talking about my dad, my father will be played by George Lazenby, who was James Bond for one movie.
joe rogan
George Lazenby?
Why do I know that name?
jim jefferies
He was James Bond.
joe rogan
No, that's not why I know it.
It's actually, there's a Paul Lazenby who's a mixed martial arts commentator for Bulldog Fights.
jim jefferies
Old George isn't related to anything like that.
joe rogan
Yeah, Lazenby is what got me.
I was like, why do I know that name?
jim jefferies
George did one James Bond film, was booked to do seven, and then he...
Told him to fuck off after Sean Connery because he went, ah, this franchise isn't going to go on for too long.
Because it was 1970. He was like, everyone wants long hair and beards.
No one wants to look like this fucking idiot from a bank.
And he told him to fuck off and he never was really in a movie again.
joe rogan
You can't tell him to fuck off when they ask you to be James Bond.
jim jefferies
He was a male model, never acted before.
joe rogan
Really?
jim jefferies
He just went straight into it.
He's got some fucking stories, man.
joe rogan
That's him?
jim jefferies
No, no.
Pull up a picture of the guy.
joe rogan
George Lazenby.
jim jefferies
George Lazenby.
joe rogan
I need to see this character.
jim jefferies
Now he's in his mid-70s, but in his day, he was the number one male model on Earth in 1969. The number one male model on Earth.
And he was from a country town in Australia.
There he is.
joe rogan
Look at that handsome bastard.
He does have beautiful genetics.
He's got that 1970 handsome thing going on too.
Pull that back up.
That's like, that wouldn't really fly today.
You know, it's like they had poor nutrition, they're eating fucking, you know.
jim jefferies
Everyone was sort of shorter.
He's like 6'4", and he's sort of, you know, he has a little bit of a bobblehead motion going on, and a big dimple in his chin.
joe rogan
Yeah, but like, look at his face.
There's almost something about his face.
Like, pull that picture up again.
jim jefferies
Oh, it's like, good looks in the 80s were different.
People like Molly Ringwald wouldn't.
joe rogan
No, pull the same picture up.
Go back to that picture.
There's something about this guy, and I don't know if it's his style of hair, but that's not a guy from today.
But you know what I mean?
In 2014, okay, how old is he about?
37, 38 years old in this photo?
jim jefferies
Oh, no, no, no.
If he's 70 now, that's 1969 when that film was made.
So he's probably 24 or something like that.
What?
joe rogan
How's that possible?
jim jefferies
But back in the day, everyone was smoking and drinking.
You all looked a little bit more leathery.
joe rogan
Put that picture back up.
Look at it.
If you saw that photo and said, where is this guy from?
What time is this?
You would say the 70s.
What is that?
There's something about his fucking face.
That's not a guy that was born after 1920 or something like that.
You know what I mean?
jim jefferies
Yeah, I know.
joe rogan
There's that weird thing that they have.
He looks like a guy from this...
Like Burt Reynolds in his prime.
That guy doesn't exist today.
jim jefferies
No.
We're all slightly changing.
I think that women's faces in the 80s were rounder.
joe rogan
Oh, I think you're right.
brian redban
Moon faces.
jim jefferies
Or that was deemed to be a good look, and we now shun the moon-faced woman.
unidentified
Shun the moon-faced woman?
jim jefferies
The moon-faced woman in the 80s was a thing.
joe rogan
Yeah, is it a weight thing?
It's a weight thing, right?
brian redban
I don't know.
joe rogan
You guys know that's a real issue for women to get so skinny that they lose the roundness of their face.
They want to have...
Like sculpted cheeks.
brian redban
That's a moon face too.
unidentified
That's a quarter moon.
jim jefferies
What is he going to do now that he's retired?
joe rogan
Doing a lot of comedy apparently.
I'm doing a lot of shows at the Comedy and Magic Club because he used to do every Sunday night.
He used to try out his monologue.
I'm there actually the 30th.
I was just there.
I'm doing probably like one or so every month I'll probably do at the Sunday nights because he's on the road now.
He's just doing comedy.
jim jefferies
Is he a good stand-up?
I assume he was.
joe rogan
Let me tell you something.
At one point in time, he was thought of, and it's tough to judge, because you've got to judge it based on the fact that this 1970 and everything from 1970 doesn't hold up.
Yeah.
jim jefferies
Except for George Liza.
joe rogan
A few movies, except for him.
There's a few movies, but like television shows, for example.
Try to watch a television show from the 70s.
They're very, very dated.
jim jefferies
Yeah.
joe rogan
So his comedy, it's hard to date it, just like Lenny Bruce.
I always concede that he's the most important stand-up ever, but I don't want to watch him.
I don't want to listen to him.
jim jefferies
Yeah, I've tried.
I sit down and listen to the tapes and I try to...
joe rogan
It's too alien a time.
It's not us.
We're too free.
What he's saying is just not...
jim jefferies
But then you can get...
From the 80s, you can still enjoy people.
Prior, you can still watch.
In Kinison, you can still watch.
joe rogan
Things change considerably, though, I think, from the 1960s to the 1980s.
jim jefferies
I can watch 1970s Cosby.
joe rogan
Yeah, you can still.
Well, he's a master.
He's really a master wordsmith and a master storyteller.
jim jefferies
But it's also, he was dealing mostly at that stage at, oh, I've got a wife and young kids, and this is how it is, and that stuff always sticks around.
If you're a political guy, it always dates very horrible.
joe rogan
Yes, that's so true.
jim jefferies
Or if you're talking about society and how this is fucked up and that is fucked up, that doesn't...
joe rogan
It's interesting, culturally, to go back and listen to some shit where people were complaining about, you know, like Lenny Bruce has some stuff where he's complaining about politicians.
It doesn't make you laugh, though.
jim jefferies
No.
joe rogan
But anyway, Leno, it's hard to say when you look at his stuff now, because it just seems so pedestrian.
But I think that back in the 1970s, Leno was a motherfucker.
The reason I say it is because all the comics say it.
jim jefferies
Yeah, yeah.
That's what I've heard as well, yeah.
joe rogan
Yeah, all the guys who knew him back then go, he was a bad motherfucker.
He was a legit comic.
He was really good.
jim jefferies
He was the guy in the club that everyone went, he's here, and came down.
joe rogan
He was a hard worker.
But then somewhere along the line, he stopped writing.
This is kind of interesting.
Like, he would go to, he would do shows.
Like, and then do the same show the next year.
Go back to the same place next year.
Verbatim.
Every joke.
From the beginning to the end.
And, like, the people in Edmonton.
I was in Edmonton and they were telling me, like, we went to see him.
He did another set and, like, play some of this.
unidentified
I'm originally from the United States.
Any United States people here tonight?
jim jefferies
That's funny because he's in America.
unidentified
As Freddie mentioned, I have a slight call.
I have to apologize for that.
What I've had is about two weeks.
I went to the hospital over here, one of the large hospitals in California.
I don't want to say the name.
Just shows you where healthcare is in the state.
This is absolutely true.
I went in, man charged me $40, gave me some pills to take, and on the way out as a doc, my throat is still really sore.
Do you think I should have my tonsils out?
And this man is a specialist, and I'm sure one of the best hospitals in California says to me, "Well, what do you think?" That's it!
That's it?
joe rogan
How dare you?
You shut the fuck up, J-Low.
unidentified
Everybody who told me he's great, you shut the fuck up too.
jim jefferies
Imagine if I came in to you and before the podcast, I said, Joe, I want your opinion on a bit of material.
joe rogan
And you ran that by me.
jim jefferies
And then I went, and then the guy goes, what do you think?
brian redban
And then there was Steve Martin at the time.
joe rogan
That's the beginning of a bit.
That's the beginning of a rant.
Like, what do I think?
Motherfucker, isn't this your job?
jim jefferies
Yeah, you've got to go into the next bit.
joe rogan
Then it would be a bit.
That would be the bit.
It was a setup for a bit.
jim jefferies
Steve Martin was still funny.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
He was brilliant.
brian redban
And this is from the same year, and I bet you it blows all that away.
joe rogan
Well, he was very different.
You know, Steve Martin was one of the most uniquely original, like, onstage performance...
jim jefferies
I can't believe he brought out so many recordings and not actual video.
He's such a visual act to go, I'm going to have an arrow on my head and put this onto a cassette.
joe rogan
What I was going to say about Jay Leno is Jay Leno stopped putting things out.
He doesn't do anything.
He doesn't do an HBO special, won't do a Showtime special, doesn't do anything.
Have you noticed there's no body of work?
There's one thing he did for Showtime in the early 1980s, and I used to have it on a VHS cassette.
But after that, nothing.
And, you know, when they ask him about it, it's like, man, why would I do that?
I gave him my showtime.
I gave him my big, you know, my whole act, I gotta write a new act.
No, I mean, give it to them, and this act's going to make me millions of dollars.
jim jefferies
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
joe rogan
Like, his attitude, like, his act was like, uh, he's just real old school in that respect.
Like, those guys, they thought about, if they did an HBO special, they didn't think, oh, this is just going to get my comedy out to more people, they'll enjoy it, it'll get more people to come see me.
No, it was like, oh, I'm going to give them my, I'm going to sell my act, and then I can't do my act, and if I can't do my act, I'm losing all that money that I can't do my act.
jim jefferies
I try to do a DVD every sort of 18 months or so, and then I retire the material as soon as I've done it.
joe rogan
We all do that now, I think.
I think that's the new era.
I mean, once the internet came along, I think that's mandatory.
You know, George Carlin always did it, and then Louis C.K. started doing it and telling people that he did it, and then you start looking around, who are all the people that do it, like Burr does it, you do it, you know, Ari does it.
It's one of those things now, I think, that kind of everybody does.
It's expected.
Yeah.
jim jefferies
Yeah, I think...
I also now, I don't do...
I won't do stand-up on television for four minutes.
joe rogan
I won't either.
Good for you.
jim jefferies
Good for fucking you, man.
I just knocked back doing Fallon for that, and they're like...
Like, not anything special.
If I can be a guest on a show, like I'm doing Kimmel next week or whatever, that's fine, but I don't want to burn four minutes that I could put onto an actual special.
joe rogan
Well, not only that, it's not your act.
jim jefferies
Yeah, and I don't translate well over four minutes.
No one does.
I feel like the Tonight Show culture in America, the late night show culture in America, fucked up a lot of comedians for a very long time.
Because they come over to Europe and they look at all the British acts and go, geez, all your stories are so long-winded and all that type of stuff.
Where everyone over here seemed to, for a very long time, trying to make a snappy five minutes.
And that's not where it's at in the long term.
joe rogan
You're totally right.
It ruined Boston comedy.
There's a whole documentary that this guy, Fran Salamita, who was a Boston comic, did about it, called When Stand-Up Stood Out.
And it's all about Stephen Wright making it.
Stephen Wright getting on...
Was it Letterman?
Did Stephen Wright get on Letterman or Tonight Show?
brian redban
I think it was Letterman.
joe rogan
Probably Letterman.
Whichever one it was.
The Letterman or Tonight Show.
The documentary's excellent.
But it shows how everybody changed then.
They all started doing clean material.
They all started trying to get on television.
They're like, when am I going to get fucking picked up?
What's going on?
When's this going to happen to me?
This is the documentary.
steven wright
It was like being on an island.
And the only thing there was trying to make the audience laugh.
unidentified
They took a city by storm and without even knowing it, ignited the biggest stand-up revolution ever.
No vanity.
No rules.
Follow me in here.
Hiya girl, how are ya?
No regard.
I love that footage.
Give me security.
That was unnecessary.
Take a journey back to a gritty world blown apart by excess, success, clashing egos, even death threats, all in the name of stand-up comedy.
Comedy has become a thriving business as club owners fill their rooms to capacity weekend after weekend.
It was a really good time to be doing stand-up.
That was like the beginning of thinking there's a big future in this thing.
Critics called when stand-up stood out, hugely entertaining and hilarious, and have voted it one of the greatest stand-up movies of all time.
Comedians were just like rock stars.
I quit doing comedy.
I'm broke now.
Official selection of the Montreal Comedy Festival and winner of the Telluride Independent Film Festival.
A film by Fran Salamita.
joe rogan
It's a great movie, but the point being that...
jim jefferies
Look how young he looks.
joe rogan
Amazing, huh?
That was when he was...
He was pretty revolutionary, man.
When Stephen Wright came along?
Nobody was like him before that.
jim jefferies
He came to see me at Caroline's with his publicist or something like that.
Afterwards, he's selling your DVDs and signing and doing photos and stuff for you.
He waited in line with everyone and he came and bought A DVD and something.
He goes, I thought you were great.
Like that, right?
And I was like, who is this cat?
I know this cat.
But he's just like an old guy in a baseball hat, right?
And I went, Stephen Wright?
And he went, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Then he walked away.
And then I went, he'd been standing next to all these comedy fans and no one had noticed him.
joe rogan
It's the beard, right?
jim jefferies
Yeah, the beard, but it's also the hat.
But you wouldn't expect him to queue up.
If he went to the front of the line and said hello, people would have noticed him.
Because he stood there so incognito and did it.
And then I went...
Fucking hell, everyone.
That was Stephen Wright.
And then all the people who were waiting to take a photo with me chased after him.
joe rogan
So you sucked them on him.
jim jefferies
No one took a photo with me after that or bought any DVDs.
joe rogan
I was in the middle of having a conversation with Robin Williams at the improv, and I didn't realize it was Robin Williams until halfway into the conversation.
I thought he was just some dude who came to the show and wanted to talk to me after the show.
And he's talking to me about the dolphin bit, eating mushrooms or eating pot brownie.
I went on a boat and I had this life-changing experience in Hawaii playing with dolphins.
And I'm telling the story on stage and Robin Williams comes up to me and he's talking to me about the bit and we're talking and I'm like, this is just this cool old dude.
This is fucking Robin Williams.
Holy shit.
He's a tiny little fella.
But it was a bizarre thing, like in the middle of the conversation.
I'm just going, oh, thanks, man.
Thank you.
Whoa.
jim jefferies
I have a theory on why actors and some comedians are super short in comparison to the general populace.
joe rogan
Need for attention.
jim jefferies
Yeah.
I was at the Fox with the TV show.
There's a party they have for Fox, for everything that's Fox related, where every star of every show has to show up.
It's in your contract.
You have to be there, right?
And all the reporters go around and talk to you.
So there's famous people, and then there's Jennifer Lopez walked in, and then all the famous people were like, wow, there's a real famous person.
But then I was standing next to Keith Sutherland who looked like he was five foot nothing to me.
joe rogan
Really?
jim jefferies
Yeah.
joe rogan
I just thought he was a big guy.
jim jefferies
Because he plays Jack Bauer, you think he's a big guy.
And then Martin Freeman was there because he's in now the new Fargo, and he's an itty-bitty...
joe rogan
The new Fargo?
They have a Fargo TV show now?
jim jefferies
Yeah, FX are bringing it out.
It's got Billy Bob Thornton and Martin Freeman, Kate Walsh is in it.
joe rogan
Holy shit.
Does it have anything to do with the Coen brothers?
unidentified
It's...
jim jefferies
I don't know if it's got any...
But it's been reviewed through the roof.
People are saying it's the best thing.
It's coming out in like 16 days.
joe rogan
Oh, that's beautiful.
Oh, that's...
I fucking love that movie.
That's one of my all-time favorite comedies.
jim jefferies
Yeah.
joe rogan
Because there's no jokes in the entire fucking thing.
jim jefferies
Yeah.
joe rogan
It's just fuck up after fuck up after...
You know, just...
It's a completely character-driven thing.
That car salesman, the failure car salesman that fucks everything up...
What's that cat's name?
jim jefferies
I don't know.
I haven't seen the movie.
joe rogan
Bill something or another?
The guy was in Shameless.
That's cool.
jim jefferies
The billboard, the post they got, the bus stops, which is like a knitted fucking rug.
It's pretty cool, huh?
joe rogan
What's that guy's name who is on that shameless show on HBO or on Showtime?
jim jefferies
The guy who plays the lead?
joe rogan
Yeah.
jim jefferies
He's in Mystery Men as well.
joe rogan
Yeah, what's that?
jim jefferies
It's a shovel.
joe rogan
Yeah, Bill Macy.
Yeah, right?
William H. Macy?
jim jefferies
William H. Macy, yeah.
joe rogan
He's a very nice guy.
I met that guy when I was on news radio.
He's super friendly.
Very, very friendly guy.
jim jefferies
Is he short, though?
joe rogan
I'm short, so it's hard to tell.
Everybody seems giant to me.
jim jefferies
Everything in this world is just people trying to pick up chicks.
Because that's why you get into anything.
Not in the long term, but in your younger years...
In your teens, it's just about, how can I meet women?
How can I meet women?
So if you're at school and you're a good-looking guy, then that's your way of meeting women, if you're just a really good-looking guy.
And if you're really good at sport, that's your way.
But if you're short, you better be fucking funny.
Or if you're not good-looking, you better be funny.
Or if you're not funny and all those things, then you better learn how to do a Shakespearean monologue in fucking drama class.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
You better have something.
jim jefferies
You better have some little thing that's different from everybody else.
So I think that's why all the actors, I don't think, because all the actresses are tall.
joe rogan
Some of them are.
There's a lot of short actresses.
jim jefferies
It's like Nicole Kidman.
She says she marries Tom Cruise.
He's an itty-bitty fella.
joe rogan
He's not as itty-bitty as everybody says.
It's sort of like the Napoleon thing.
jim jefferies
Her new husband's really small.
joe rogan
Well, you know, Napoleon wasn't really a short guy.
jim jefferies
I didn't know that.
joe rogan
It was British propaganda.
Napoleon was actually taller than the average person at the time.
unidentified
Really?
joe rogan
Yeah.
Well, it wasn't tall compared to today.
He's like 5'6".
jim jefferies
Yeah.
joe rogan
But back then, everybody was fucking...
They were really tiny.
jim jefferies
Right, so they were saying he's 4'11".
joe rogan
Yeah, but Tom Cruise, apparently, I've talked to people, like, I've met Sylvester Stallone.
He's not that small.
Everybody would say, Sylvester Stallone's only 5'6", he played Rocky in the movies, he was a heavyweight.
He's not 5'6".
I met the guy.
He's at least 5'10", maybe taller.
Maybe he was wearing some shit in his shoes, I don't know.
But I'm 5'8", I don't wear any shit in my shoes, and I wear, I'm standing, like, right next to the guy and he's taller than me.
jim jefferies
I met Ben Kingsley, and he's like the opposite.
They try to make him look smaller in film.
He was a reasonable-sized guy, but whenever you see him in film, they try to make him look like a little tiny menacing bloke.
joe rogan
Well, when Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise did that vampire movie together, Tom Cruise walked on a platform around him, so they were similar heights.
Everywhere they walked when they were doing the thing, Brad Pitt is essentially walking in a ditch.
That may or may not be true.
I wasn't there when it was filming.
jim jefferies
No, I believe that would be true.
joe rogan
It might be.
It might be just total Richard Gere gerbil in the ass propaganda.
jim jefferies
Even on my TV show, I found it weird when this season I get to kiss two girls and one girl was like five foot tall and one girl was six foot tall.
It definitely looks better when you're kissing a six foot tall girl.
joe rogan
Really?
jim jefferies
Yeah, because I'm the same height as I. You just have to turn your head.
But when all of a sudden you're kissing a real short person and you're hunched over...
joe rogan
Right.
jim jefferies
It doesn't look cool on film.
joe rogan
Yeah, that's why they like you to pick them up.
Hoist them up in the air.
jim jefferies
I'm a tall, weak person.
I can't do that.
We all have our limitations.
Is this the actors?
Okay, so Danny DeVito, he is super small.
brian redban
Yeah, he's five foot.
jim jefferies
I think he's under.
brian redban
Michael J. Fox is just five foot four.
Same with Emilio Estevez.
Then you go up to the Woody Allens.
joe rogan
Emilio Estevez is five foot four?
brian redban
Yep.
joe rogan
See, how do I know they're not making this up, though?
Woody Allen's taller than Emilio Estevez?
For real?
brian redban
Yeah, Woody Allen's five foot five.
jim jefferies
Yeah, he's only a little fella.
brian redban
Then Jack Black.
jim jefferies
I passed him yesterday at the airport and no one was bothering him.
You want to know why I think?
He was wearing his neck pillow.
It was covering up a lot of his face.
He had it like with a little Velcro strap around his neck.
He just looked like a schlumpy sort of guy who had to get his flight and he didn't look like a movie star, I'll tell you that much.
joe rogan
That's a good move in the neck pillow because if you don't want people talking to you, wear a neck pillow because there's that extra step that they have to take.
Like, is that fucking guy wearing a neck pillow?
And then they decide not to talk to you because it's kind of sorted out.
jim jefferies
And it looks like you're obviously ready for a sleep so you don't want to be bothered.
Who bothers someone who wants to sleep?
joe rogan
That's a very good point.
Rude people?
The same type of people that bother you while you're eating.
Do you get people that come up to you while you're eating?
jim jefferies
Hey, I don't want to interrupt you.
joe rogan
But I'm going to interrupt you.
jim jefferies
Yeah, you do.
You do want to interrupt me.
You feel bad about it.
I want to interrupt you, but I feel bad about it, is what you should say.
joe rogan
Yeah.
They're just trying to find a way to be not rude while they're being rude.
jim jefferies
Yeah, well, they're not even being rude.
I understand that people want to say hello.
Especially if they've just seen the show.
joe rogan
If you're eating and you have a mouthful of food, that's where I draw the line.
Like, when you're sitting down to eat and you're with your friends and people come over to the table, like, if everybody did that, it would be fucking chaos.
Like, there's a certain amount of, you know, of privacy that a person should...
Peace that a person should be able to get.
And while a person's eating their meal, that's where I draw the line.
jim jefferies
How...
Are you happy with your level...
Like, you're more famous than me, right?
I'm mildly famous.
You're famous famous.
And then there's the next...
joe rogan
You don't want to go there.
You don't want to go to the next level.
jim jefferies
I think I'd like to go up to about where you are and then stop.
joe rogan
Even back it down a little.
I'm trying to back it down a little.
I'm trying to take a little bit of the edge off.
jim jefferies
At the moment, I get stopped, I would say, four times a day, and three of those people will just say, Hey, Jim!
joe rogan
That's great.
jim jefferies
And that's great.
And then there'll be one person who will take photos, and that's no problem.
And that's where I'm at right now.
But I'm not at the stage where I can ring a restaurant up and go, Jim Jefferies needs a table and they'll fucking find a table because most of the population doesn't know who I am.
So I would like that because I'm lazy with my reservations.
That's what I would like to get to.
Table...
Restaurant tables.
joe rogan
Yeah, restaurant tables helps if you were a club hopper and you wanted to get to...
jim jefferies
Ah, I got a young kid.
You know, I might club hop again maybe later on in life, but I can't...
joe rogan
For now, there's no club hopper.
jim jefferies
At the moment, I'm just fucking daycare guy.
Like...
I'll tell you, I'm trying to lose weight again, so I started going back to the gym.
So I go to the gym and there's a daycare at my gym where I can take my son and just drop him off.
And there's like two ladies in their 50s that just sort of work behind the counter.
And one of my son, who's 16 months old, just fucking loves one of these ladies.
There's this old Asian lady, and he lights up when he sees her, and she loves him.
She'll be playing with other kids, and when she sees my son, she'll just drop what she's doing and just go, Hank!
And then she says the same thing every time.
She'll go, there's my boyfriend!
Here he is!
Pass me my boyfriend!
My boyfriend gives me kisses!
And then she starts kissing him all over the face, right?
And then goes, enjoy your workout, and I walk off.
Now, I can't do that with a baby girl.
I can never go, there's my girlfriend, my girlfriend gives me kisses, give her here, enjoy your workout.
Why is that?
Why is that so...
I don't want to do that.
Mind you, I'm not fighting for the freedom to do this in the near future.
I just think it's a very odd...
joe rogan
I have a whole bit about it.
jim jefferies
There?
joe rogan
Yeah, there's no sexual equality in child molesting.
Because there's a commercial, I don't know if you've ever seen the commercial, where there's a Just For Men baby.
Just For Men is some shit that old dudes put in their beard, and their beard's going gray.
There's a baby with a beard, and he's driving a Porsche with a grown woman next to him.
And the baby goes to the club.
And he's dancing.
All these women are running around kissing him.
And what I'm saying in that bit is there's no sexual equality in child loss.
And you couldn't make that same commercial with the sexes reversed.
Look at this baby.
She's got a grown woman.
The baby gets out of the car.
Look at the bouncer.
He recognizes him.
He points the finger at him.
Like, oh, it's you, you fuck!
And the guy goes in there.
And he's got a bottle.
Look, he's got a bottle.
Just in case you're thinking, well, maybe it's a little eccentric midget.
So he's doing his little dance.
And look, surrounded by pussy.
And a couple of gay dudes.
We just wish they could get him to turn over.
This baby is the shit, and if you switch the sexes, if you had a bunch of dudes with Tarzan loincloth swinging cock, that's baby face height to vagina.
That baby's dancing around, and the vaginas are right there.
jim jefferies
Also, that's just an ad that's making fun of something.
It's a comedy of commercial.
It's meant to be a joke.
But even in real life, I don't know about you, but whenever you hear there's a guy who's been molesting the fucking school, the volleyball team, you always go, that fucking creep.
joe rogan
Exactly.
jim jefferies
But then as soon as you hear there's a female teacher that had sex with a 13-year-old boy, you always go, alright, I'll have to see the photo of this woman first.
And then if the woman's kind of hot, you're like, alright, I can see where he...
I don't even blame the kid.
I'm like, not that I would ever blame the kid, but I'm like, I don't know if he had a bad time.
joe rogan
Yeah.
jim jefferies
Is that wrong?
joe rogan
No, it's not wrong at all.
unidentified
There was a teacher in my school who I would have loved to have fucked when I was 13. Of course.
jim jefferies
I used to masturbate to her all the time.
joe rogan
There's nothing wrong with it if she's hot.
That's what people need to accept.
There is something wrong with the man.
The difference is a man can molest a 13-year-old girl.
A woman can't molest a 13-year-old boy.
She can just let him fuck her.
jim jefferies
Yeah.
joe rogan
They're two different things.
jim jefferies
Yeah.
And they say that women develop faster.
joe rogan
They do.
They do in a lot of ways.
They're not allowed to fuck as early.
jim jefferies
Yeah.
joe rogan
They can't enjoy it.
They can't enjoy it at 13. There's something really creepy about a man fucking a 13-year-old, but if you found out your son got caught, you know, with a teacher, bent over the desk, and he's banging her, you'd fucking be really kind of proud of him.
jim jefferies
Yeah, there wouldn't be.
You'd be like, oh, you shouldn't do that, but...
All right.
It's funny, like Paul Walker, when he died, they found out that he had a girlfriend for like eight years or something.
And when he started dating her, she was 16 and he was 34. And then on the TV, but then it's like that weird thing that when they're a celebrity, even the Entertainment Tonight were like, but she was very mature and she...
And you're like, no, no, no, no.
Statutory rape, man.
You can't just change the rules because the guy's dead now.
joe rogan
First of all, no disrespect, but how good must that pussy have been where a 34-year-old movie star is freaking out about a 16-year-old?
jim jefferies
Well, she doesn't look that good if you can pull a picture of her.
joe rogan
Well, it might not be a good thing.
jim jefferies
Yeah, she might have been dynamite.
joe rogan
She might have voodoo pussy.
jim jefferies
Yeah, yeah.
I've met those ones as well.
Those girls where other girls are like, there she is there.
joe rogan
She's pretty, man.
jim jefferies
That's her 24 or something before she...
But I don't begrudge him fucking a 16-year-old girl in the sense that you can see some 16-year-old girls where you go...
It's legal in the UK and Australia.
It's not like...
I understand wanting to have sex with a fully developed 16-year-old.
What I don't get is him dating her.
joe rogan
Pulled up that picture again?
That is an odd picture, man.
She's in her 20s there.
jim jefferies
Yeah, this is like when they've been dating for seven years or something.
joe rogan
You know, I hate the idea of...
Look, I have daughters, so the first thing I'm going to say is that this is not something I'm really entertaining, but I hate the idea that if two people really do love each other, and for whatever reason they're perfect together, it can't happen because the guy is 30 and the girl is 16. Come on, the girl has to date a few guys.
I agree with you.
jim jefferies
I was devastated when the girl I lost my virginity to at 16 broke up with me and I thought I'd never find love again.
I haven't since, really, but I've enjoyed a lot of different women since then.
The thing that's creepy is, not the sex, it's the conversation after sex.
It's the fact that he laid there with her afterwards and went, how was school?
unidentified
Yeah.
jim jefferies
And she went, good.
And she goes, what have you been up to?
And he was like, I made a movie.
And it's a very good movie, but it's got a lot of swear words, so you can't see it for two years.
unidentified
Because you shouldn't listen to swear words.
joe rogan
Yeah, that's a good point, man.
That is the one thing that's a good point.
I think that...
He should be able to fucking do whatever he wants.
jim jefferies
He's a good looking guy though, man.
joe rogan
He should be able to date anybody who wants to date him, as long as that person is old enough to make their own choice.
The real question is, when is the age that you're old enough to make that choice?
Is it 16?
Is it 17?
Is it 18?
jim jefferies
It's 16 in the rest of the world, but it's 18 in America.
joe rogan
So in that sense, yeah, he broke the law.
But just because some shit's written down on paper obviously doesn't mean it makes sense.
jim jefferies
And also, we know that he broke other laws such as speeding.
joe rogan
Well, it wasn't him.
jim jefferies
It wasn't like this guy was a lawyer.
joe rogan
Somebody else killed him.
He didn't drive that car.
jim jefferies
I felt sorry when he died and all that type of stuff.
There was a lot of deaths all at once this year.
And I felt really sorry for the guy that made the in-memoriam thing for the Oscars.
Every night he must have sat down and gone, alright, the Oscars are coming.
Paul Walker, the music ends.
Beautiful.
I'll go to bed.
Wakes up in the morning.
Fucking Philip Seymour Hoffman.
Alright.
So, Philip Seymour Hoffman.
The end.
And then, like, he reads the paper.
I thought Shirley Temple was already dead.
This is bullshit.
joe rogan
I thought she was dead, too.
jim jefferies
Put Shirley Temple in.
The end.
Harold Ramis.
It was just fucking ongoing until the day he had to make that video.
joe rogan
That guy, James Rebhorn, who played Carrie's dad on Homeland, he died.
I did a pilot with that guy a long time ago.
jim jefferies
On Homeland?
joe rogan
You ever see that show, Homeland?
jim jefferies
I do watch Homeland.
Who plays who?
joe rogan
Carrie's dad.
She plays the father of the main chick.
unidentified
The chick that's off the wife?
jim jefferies
Oh no, the daughter?
joe rogan
Yes.
jim jefferies
Well, the dad, the British guy, who played the lead in Homeland.
joe rogan
No, no, not that guy.
The other one, Carrie.
Carrie is the crazy CIA agent.
jim jefferies
Oh, the guy who plays her dad.
Yeah, grey hair, bald boy.
joe rogan
He just died.
jim jefferies
Oh, that's sad.
joe rogan
Great guy.
Really, really nice guy.
jim jefferies
I'm still upset with Fred Phelps dying.
unidentified
Ha ha ha ha ha.
jim jefferies
Trent Phelps, to me, is, if you know, he's the West Borough Baptist Church guy who used to protest Gay people's funerals, soldiers' funerals because he believed the war started because we were too nice to gays.
joe rogan
He's got a good point.
jim jefferies
This is my thing.
I'm an atheist and I'm also a very non-homophobic person in the sense that I wouldn't even care if my son was gay.
I'm of that opinion when it comes to homosexuals.
Fred Phelps was possibly the most way-out-there religious person we've had in a very long time, where he actually had decisions like, oh, the war started, must be because of the gays, and then he decided it was gospel, right?
But what if...
He was the only bloke on earth that was right.
Like, he gets to heaven, and then God's like, you're the only one who got me.
And then, like, God's sitting up there, and he goes, where's everyone else?
He goes, well, no one else.
You were the only person that followed it to the fucking team, man.
Everyone else is in hell.
And the two of them are just sitting there, and God just...
And then Fred goes, faggots are cunts, aren't they?
And then God goes, damn straight, and they fist pump or something.
I don't know, like...
If his beliefs were real, then he's the only bloke getting into heaven, is the point I made.
joe rogan
Well, the problem is his beliefs aren't anywhere.
They're not written anywhere.
jim jefferies
Yeah, but he started to believe them.
joe rogan
Well, he may have believed them.
If you listen to the way he talks, though, like, you ever see the Louis Theroux documentary?
We went and visited them, stayed with them for three weeks.
It's very interesting.
And one of the things you realize is the amount of ego this guy has.
And he just wants people to listen to him.
He doesn't answer questions.
Sometimes when a question comes up, he just says, I'm not going to even answer that because you're so stupid.
He just comes up with some reason why he's superior.
There's so much ego involved in what he was doing, the way he was running that church.
It wasn't based on any scripture.
jim jefferies
I liked how they had to sing songs.
They weren't smart enough to write their own songs, so they just got songs of artists who they probably called sinners to begin with.
There was the one that they did, We Are the World, but it was like, God hates the gays, they're all faggots.
It's like that.
And it's like, Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie wrote that song.
Are you telling me that you were fans of theirs and they were pretty close to the model that you wanted for your church?
Sure.
You're paying rights?
joe rogan
Whenever someone is a religious guy and they try singing any sort of pop music, it automatically kills it.
Like that guy in Australia that thinks he's Jesus and he sings Green Day.
Have you ever seen that guy?
jim jefferies
I don't know him, but I like him already.
joe rogan
You've never seen the Australian Jesus?
jim jefferies
No!
joe rogan
Oh, he's awesome.
He says he's Jesus, and he hangs out with this hot chick that he bangs, who apparently used to be Mary.
And Mary has a vision.
I remember him on the cross.
I remember him crying.
jim jefferies
Can we get a picture of this chick?
joe rogan
It's the second chick.
The one on the far right is the Mary.
That's Jesus with the glasses.
jim jefferies
Yeah, right.
joe rogan
And Mary apparently, unfortunately, just found out recently that she was the second Mary.
And there was another girl that Jesus said was Mary before her.
jim jefferies
Ah, that was Mary Magdalene.
joe rogan
Ha!
jim jefferies
That's two of them.
joe rogan
He likes to tell people he's Jesus to get the pussy.
jim jefferies
Oh yeah, I'm Jesus?
Yeah, I've been Jesus for a while, really?
joe rogan
That's his nuclear option.
You gotta listen to the guy talk.
Play some of it, Brian, because it's quite brilliant.
And, you know, he's not even an exceptional guy, which is...
No, not to Jesus of Siberia.
It's a totally different one.
jim jefferies
In his defense, this is how the original Jesus came out and they hung him on a cross.
Like, there's going to be some guy, if you believe in God and there's going to be a second coming, then he's going to come...
This guy's got as much chance as anyone of being Jesus.
joe rogan
No, he doesn't.
He has zero chance of being Jesus.
jim jefferies
But the guy in Waco said he was Jesus as well, right?
joe rogan
Well, he was much like this guy, just wanted to get some pussy.
jim jefferies
Listen to him.
joe rogan
No, no, that's not his voice.
That's the narrator's voice.
His voice, though, is very non-Jesus-like.
jim jefferies
I've always been...
How can you be from Australia?
The original Bible didn't even mention Australia.
unidentified
I'm nailing him to the stake.
It was like a pole.
It was me that had to do that.
joe rogan
That's not his voice either.
He's the Jesus guy with the other guy with the dark hair and the glasses.
jim jefferies
Fucking do unto others as they'd fucking do to you, cunt.
joe rogan
If you could see him talking, here he goes.
unidentified
Here.
They wanted to go spirit world.
Yep.
joe rogan
You can't listen to this.
jim jefferies
Here, here you go.
unidentified
Can they do that?
This is one of Miller's...
joe rogan
Who are these people?
jim jefferies
He's got followers.
joe rogan
Oh yeah, quite a few.
Queensland, I believe, is where he lives.
jim jefferies
Ah, fucking Queensland.
joe rogan
Is that a spot?
jim jefferies
That's the Alabama of Australia.
joe rogan
Oh, well, there you go.
That makes sense.
jim jefferies
It's a little bit...
I actually like Queensland.
My father's from Queensland.
I have an affinity with Queensland.
I'll be there in April selling tickets to the Brisbane Tivoli Theatre.
But they're a little bit...
They had a politician for a while there called Pauline Hanson.
And Pauline Hanson was just really racist.
It was like, the problem is the Aboriginals.
And this is why we have to...
You know, she was one of these type of people.
She got voted in.
In that town.
And she was sort of this red-headed woman.
She looked like she was off a matchbox.
She was just this red-headed woman.
It turned out she had electoral fraud and she went to prison for like six months for doing votes.
Anyway, she comes out after being really racist and then saying stupid things like, how would you fix the economy?
And she goes, print more money.
Then we'd all have more money.
Like, this is the level of intelligence.
joe rogan
Jesus Christ.
jim jefferies
She got voted in, right?
joe rogan
So she's like another level past Sarah Palin.
jim jefferies
So even in my family, we're like, that woman's disgusting.
I can't believe that all these things.
She's a racist Sarah Palin.
That's a perfect adjustment of her, right?
And so she gets put into prison.
And then when she comes out, she goes on Dancing with the Stars.
And my parents forgive.
My parents will forgive anything if you do a cracking foxtrot.
Like, they were voting for her.
Oh, because my dad goes, she's got good legs.
I go, but she just said that Aboriginals should die.
Oh, you bloody hold on to things for too long.
joe rogan
That's so true.
If someone was running for president and they did Star Search, or Dancing with the Stars, or American Idol, or whatever those fucking shows are, and where America got to vote and they did really well, they'd probably become president.
jim jefferies
Yeah, yeah.
Can you get a picture of Pauline Hanson up?
I haven't had a look at this woman's face for...
Going on 20 years.
She used to own a fish and chip shop.
There was like people that, she was so racist, people would wear Martin Luther King t-shirts on the front that said, I have a dream.
Then there'd be a picture of her on the back that goes, I have a fish and chip shop.
There she is.
That was our Sarah Palin in Australia.
joe rogan
Wow, she even kind of has that thing going on, that Sarah Palin thing going on.
jim jefferies
And the Asians, the Asians come in here and buy all the land.
joe rogan
Wow.
jim jefferies
What do you think about this old banning bossy?
joe rogan
It's retarded.
jim jefferies
Stupid, isn't it?
joe rogan
It's never going to work.
It makes me angry.
It makes me angry that you're pretending someone's feelings are hurt because of the word bossy.
jim jefferies
Also, they're trying to say the word bossy means leadership.
It doesn't.
Like, I have a few nieces, and I won't say which of them.
One of them's a bit bossy.
And when I mean bossy, it's not like she goes, okay, you sit over here, we're playing this game.
She's like, don't touch that.
That's my toy.
She's just a bit of a cunt.
joe rogan
Yeah.
They don't like cunty, so they're trying to get rid of bossy, which is a substitute for cunty.
They're trying to remove themselves from criticism.
anybody who's coming up with that they're either trying to silence free speech or they're trying to remove what they think is criticism they faced many times and it's you know a lot of them like what where's it coming from most likely feminists well what are a lot of feminists a lot of feminists are very strong women who like being able to tell people what the fuck to do and what what would be a criticism of that well she's a cunt she's cunty she's bossy yeah those are They're all in line with what people don't like.
I will ban bossy.
Get the fuck out of here.
jim jefferies
Freedom of speech, you can't ban bossy.
joe rogan
It's the dumbest fucking thing ever.
jim jefferies
On their advert or the program, the woman was there going, do you know that men own 99% of the world's property?
Right?
And then I thought about it.
Do you know 95% of the homeless are also men?
There's plenty of bossy bitches kicking cunts out of their houses.
You know, living rent free.
I know.
They keep on going, oh, you're banned, bossy.
You won't get women that are headed corporations.
Most bossy women that I have known in my life don't have jobs.
joe rogan
Yeah.
And probably would never get to the head of a corporation because that requires a lot of people skills.
jim jefferies
It's not like they've been held back by us going bossy.
I'm there paying the rent and they're still fucking bossing me around.
You know, it doesn't feel like...
joe rogan
Yeah.
No.
The idea is ridiculous.
The idea that all these women want to be the head of corporations is ridiculous too.
A lot of women don't want those jobs either.
They're not working towards those jobs.
The idea that they're completely banned from those jobs.
There are women out there who run corporations.
Is it fair?
I'm not saying it is.
But there's a lot of shit that's not fair.
Life is not fair.
jim jefferies
There's a good chance we'll have a female president next.
joe rogan
It's possible.
jim jefferies
Yeah, yeah.
joe rogan
There's just very different characteristics that men have and women have.
There's very different personalities, almost inherent to having testosterone and a dick that you don't have when you have a vagina.
jim jefferies
Also, with a woman, and this is nothing against women...
When they have a kid, I'm not saying because they take nine months out of the workplace, although that's probably a problem, but I don't give a fuck.
When they have a kid, their mind does change a little bit.
They become less career-driven, a lot of them, not all of them, but they do start going, I want to spend time with this, and then a man has to step up a little bit more and work a bit hard.
I sometimes begrudge the amount I have to go on the road and be away from my kids so I can support the family.
I feel like I miss out on something there.
I'd rather be home all the time with him.
joe rogan
Right.
I know exactly what you mean.
I think everyone has a role and that everyone's role is different depending on the relationship, depending on where you are in life, depending on everything.
But the idea that it should be even for men and women is ridiculous.
The idea that anything should be even is ridiculous.
The only thing you should ask is for no discrimination.
No discrimination and that someone...
They would be promoted based entirely on how well they do what they do.
But the idea that there should be an equal amount of men and an equal amount of women in the same position, I don't buy that.
It doesn't make any sense to me.
Because there's a lot of jobs that men do better than women, and a lot of jobs that women do better than men.
It's just a fact.
jim jefferies
And they've got Beyonce and Condoleezza Rice, and who is the other bird they've got?
Julia Gardner is on the campaign as well.
And then, like, Beyonce's there going, I'm not bossy, but I am the boss.
I'm the queen.
What is it with black women and wanting to be the queen?
Queen Latifah.
joe rogan
How about men?
jim jefferies
The queen of the night.
Men are always the king.
joe rogan
Black men, like, there's a lot of fighters that call themselves king.
jim jefferies
Black or white men will call themselves the king of the castle.
I'm the king of my home.
That's a universal male thing.
We want to be the king.
Black women want to be queens, and white chicks want to be princesses.
joe rogan
That's true.
jim jefferies
Right?
joe rogan
They don't even want to be queens.
They want to be the child.
jim jefferies
The only white chick that wants to be the queen is the queen.
joe rogan
That's probably it, right?
jim jefferies
Every time you meet a girl, it's like, I'm a princess.
Because they want to be taken care of.
And black chicks are like, I want to fucking own you, cunt.
I'm the queen.
joe rogan
Well, that was the thing that black men, like, there was a big thing they used to say.
It was that we used to be kings.
You know, black men used to be kings.
You know, before we were slaves, we were kings.
jim jefferies
That's because in Africa...
They only had little villages and they didn't travel very far.
It was easy to be a king when the population was 10. LAUGHTER And it was you in the other hut, and you're like, I'm Queen Muvusu or whatever, and fucking you go out with your spear, and you think, I'm the king of this little...
Because still now, they've got guys that are driving taxis in the UK, who's like, I'm Prince Ado, right?
And you're like, I'm fourth in line for the throne, because there's so many fucking kings over there.
joe rogan
That's hilarious, and it's so true if you really stop and think about it.
Like, The amount of people, that's probably directly in line with what we were talking about when we were talking about being famous.
That you don't want to be the king of a place that's too big.
You don't want to be the head of Rome.
There's too much shit going on.
You're in all these other countries.
jim jefferies
A lot of people to overthrow you.
joe rogan
Too much stress.
Everybody's looking to kill you all the time.
But if you're the king of a fucking small village, you're probably doing pretty good.
You get all the fish.
You're good.
You got, you know, ten wives or whatever the hell you need.
unidentified
You get golden.
jim jefferies
You got ten wives.
Occasionally you can go over to a guy's house and just take a goat.
joe rogan
Yeah, it's a tribute he has to pay.
But if you're like the head of England, god damn, there's a lot of pressure on you.
jim jefferies
Well, King Ralph, yeah, that was a good film.
You know what I like about King Ralph?
King Ralph is a movie where you know they've worked backwards.
They've gone, alright, this is the...
You've come up with movie ideas, but if you come up with movie ideas, you think of just the broad strokes.
So someone's gone, okay, an American guy is the king of England, and he's a slob, and he likes 10-pin bowling.
Alright, that's what I've got.
And then another guy's gone, how do we get rid of the royal family?
I'm thinking, alright?
And then one of them's gone, I've got it.
They're all standing in a puddle and get electrocuted.
They take a photo of the entire royal family at once.
They're standing in a bit of water.
The camera falls over.
Light falls into the puddle.
And they all get electrified to death.
Electrified?
joe rogan
Electrocuted.
jim jefferies
And then, obviously, they go through all the family.
They can't find a single relative until they find a fat guy from Milwaukee called Ralph.
I don't know if he's from Milwaukee.
It sounds like he was.
King Ralph.
joe rogan
I never saw that movie.
jim jefferies
Peter O'Toole was in it.
joe rogan
Was it good?
jim jefferies
Peter O'Toole.
Who's one of the...
It's funny!
brian redban
I haven't seen it yet.
Have you seen it recently?
jim jefferies
I tell you what.
I know.
And movies...
I tell you what I watched three days ago.
I watched The Doors movie.
joe rogan
Great fucking movie.
jim jefferies
I don't know.
Because I went and saw it when I was...
It was 1993 or 1992 when that movie came out.
I saw it in the cinema, so that would have made me 16. I was a kid from Australia.
I had never heard a Doors song, but I knew it was hip to like the Doors.
And so I went along and watched it.
It was Oliver Stone.
It's a lot of cutting back and forth and all this type of stuff.
And I remember walking out of the cinema, being bored out of my skull at 15, but then still saying to my friends, like, that was a cool movie, man.
joe rogan
Lying.
jim jefferies
Yeah, lying.
unidentified
Yeah.
jim jefferies
And then when I heard someone didn't like the film, I was like, you obviously didn't get it.
You obviously don't get what Jim Morrison has to say.
And now I watched it as an adult and I enjoyed it more, but my conclusion was that Jim Morrison was a bit of a dick.
joe rogan
He was definitely a bit of a dick, but he was also a guy, just like we were talking about when we were talking about Lenny Bruce, he was living in a totally different era.
Breaking out in that era, doing what they were doing was completely radical.
jim jefferies
How many young comedians have you met that think they're like a gym?
Like, oh yeah, the things I'm saying and the words I'm...
More hicks.
Yeah.
joe rogan
You ever worked the punchline in Atlanta?
jim jefferies
Yes, I have, yeah.
joe rogan
Got a back room, the green room has someone wrote on the wall, quit trying to be Hicks.
jim jefferies
Yeah.
joe rogan
It's fucking brilliant.
It's brilliant.
Because for a long time, like, especially after Hicks died, when he died, martyred him.
jim jefferies
In the UK, that's all I care about.
They're Hicksed up, man.
joe rogan
Yeah.
jim jefferies
And I've actually, I like Bill Hicks, but I've gone out of my way not to watch him because I got kind of sick of...
Anytime you did edgy comedy, you got compared to him, and I thought, if I don't watch him, then you can't compare, because I'm not influenced, so I haven't, you know what I mean?
joe rogan
Well, that's a compliment.
I don't think people are meaning it in a negative way.
jim jefferies
Yeah, no, no, but it just got to the stage where, evidently, we were all trying to be Bill Hicks.
joe rogan
Yeah, that's just an easy criticism.
That's like, if you have an argument with a woman, and someone says, oh, you hate women, you hate all women, like, You know that easy argument?
And if you're edgy and they want to dismiss you, oh, you're just trying to be hicks.
It's an easy dismissal.
jim jefferies
My girlfriend's favorite argument is when I'm telling her off about something, or when she's telling me, or whatever the argument is, is the problem with you is you always think you're right.
And I always go, do you say things that you think are wrong?
Is this what you fucking do?
Of course I always think I'm right.
I might not be right, but these are my opinions.
These are what I therefore believe to be correct.
Are you just fucking saying things willy-nilly?
So this is probably why we fight so much.
But yeah, I always believe I'm right.
joe rogan
I think if you consider it deeply enough, you should always believe you're right.
jim jefferies
Yeah, yeah.
joe rogan
If you're just talking off the top of your head, yeah.
jim jefferies
Yeah, yeah.
I might be an idiot, but I always think I'm right.
joe rogan
Yeah, I don't ever say anything that I think is wrong.
jim jefferies
Several times I am wrong, but I don't know that before the fight.
joe rogan
That's a very important point.
That you don't know you're wrong, but you are.
But I have a real problem with that.
When someone realizes in the middle of an argument that they're wrong, and then they keep going.
No, when they keep going.
I fucking hate that, when you hear them justifying it.
jim jefferies
Yeah, they don't back down.
That drives me crazy.
It's like I was...
I was on set.
DJ Qualls was in my shows, The Skinny Kid Out of Road Trip.
He was singing along to Wanted Dead or Alive by Bon Jovi.
I'm wanted dead or alive.
And then there's a line, On the steel horse I ride.
Right?
Yeah, I always thought it was, I'm going to steal the horse I ride.
Because he's a cowboy.
But it turns out he's riding on a motorcycle.
joe rogan
That's better, actually.
jim jefferies
And I haven't got the gist of this song whatsoever.
Right?
And I said, oh, you got that wrong.
I'm going to steal the horse I ride.
And then he said, no, it's not.
And then I went, no, you're wrong.
I checked it on the internet and he was right, but I didn't back down.
joe rogan
Just keep it mum.
jim jefferies
I just kept on going for weeks about it.
You don't even know fucking song lyrics.
This guy knew it upset him.
joe rogan
Either one is fine.
Steel Horse or Steal the Horse.
I think Steal the Horse is more renegade cowboy.
Steel Horse is any asshole can go buy a Harley Davidson and pretend you're a fucking cowboy.
jim jefferies
I like my lyrics better.
joe rogan
It's better.
It is better.
Steal the Horse I Ride, that's some real renegade shit.
You're a horse thief.
jim jefferies
There's a song.
One of my favorite songs from an Australian band called You and I is called Heavy Heart.
And there's a lyric that goes, Now every t-shirt's got a wine stain.
I'm loving cigarettes again.
I know every t-shirt.
It's just about a guy who's been dumped, right?
joe rogan
Right.
jim jefferies
Now every t-shirt's got a wine stain.
I always thought it was now every t-shirt has a white stain.
And that's my lyrics.
Because he's been dumped, so he's wanking so much that he's getting cum everywhere.
unidentified
Right.
joe rogan
That's probably better.
jim jefferies
In a romantic song though, every t-shirt's got a white stain.
I'm loving cigarettes again.
joe rogan
Weinstein.
Come on, man.
brian redban
Hold me closer, Tony Danza.
joe rogan
Yeah, that's a good one.
Yeah, everybody used to have a bit about that.
That was one of the early stand-up bits that people used to have a bit about people getting the lyrics wrong.
There was a bunch of guys that had that.
jim jefferies
Where they used to have the sheet where they have them written and they'd be flipping them over, what they thought was...
joe rogan
No, no, no.
They would sing the wrong lyrics.
There was a few guys that had bits, and it would be a real problem if they worked together.
There's a few guys that had bits about people getting the wrong...
Lucy in the Sky with diamonds.
They would come up with the wrong word for it, and they would have a whole thing.
jim jefferies
I saw a lot of guys...
Hold me close to Tony Danza.
joe rogan
That's Photoshop, though.
jim jefferies
So obviously.
There was a...
There was a lot of guys who would have a pad and they'd write out...
In Britain, they'd write out all the lyrics to songs like...
You know that song they always play in satanic movies?
It's in Latin, right?
But he would write out what he thought it was in English.
And when you saw the words with the music, your ear started to go, Oh, that is what they're saying.
And then there was another one for that Michael Jackson, The Earth Song.
That one.
joe rogan
Yeah.
jim jefferies
No one knows what the fuck he's saying and that.
He's just screaming around.
That was very proper in Britain for them to go, these are the words I think.
joe rogan
Yeah, it's kind of hacky.
jim jefferies
It's kind of hacky.
I don't mind a guy.
Occasionally you get song parody guys that are really shit.
Most of them are shit, but occasionally you'll get a guy where you go, oh, he's alright, him.
Just out of nowhere.
It's like anything.
Even if you do something shit, if you do it extraordinarily well, then it can be good.
joe rogan
Well, it sucks for a guy like Weird Al Yankovic, who was like one of the first guys.
jim jefferies
He does it very good and just doesn't change the lyrics.
He gives a whole new story.
It's like he does that offspring song, I'm pretty fly for a rabbi.
joe rogan
Yeah.
unidentified
Yeah.
jim jefferies
And it's just all about this guy, and he's in his rabbi place, and he's in a synagogue, and, you know...
joe rogan
It is a weird thing, though, when someone else creates the foundation for what you're doing.
You know, whenever you're doing a parody of something, someone else creates a foundation, and then you come along and build comedy on the foundation of whatever they're doing.
Like, I'm fat from I'm bad.
You know, you wear it...
He's got the same outfit on.
jim jefferies
But he was the first guy to really...
He used to get the rights from people, like for the film clips and everything.
People used to like it when they did it.
joe rogan
Oh, I'm sure.
jim jefferies
See, at the moment, I've been told...
That Dana Carvey does an impersonation of me.
I desperately want to see it.
joe rogan
Dana Carvey does an impersonation of you?
jim jefferies
Yeah, like at CAA, the agents said, we just know Dana Carvey does an impersonation of you.
We're all cracking up.
I don't think he does it on stage, but he was just doing it for the other agents down at CAA. And then I think they thought that I'd be like, what the fuck is that cunt doing?
I was like, fuck, all I want to know now is what it looks like.
I want to see Dana.
Dana Carvey's like one of the best impersonators ever.
joe rogan
Yeah, that's cool.
That's cool that he's doing an impersonation of you.
I'd say that's a good sign.
jim jefferies
That's a good sign, yeah.
He's one of those guys that I always think...
Maybe he just didn't want to do movies anymore.
Because he just lives up in San Francisco now.
He plays clubs every weekend and stuff like that.
joe rogan
Does he?
jim jefferies
Yeah, I think.
joe rogan
Does he do a lot of stand-up?
jim jefferies
Yeah, but I think he does it in a club down the road from his house where he goes every week and it's packed out.
joe rogan
Really?
jim jefferies
You know what I mean?
He's just that guy.
joe rogan
Let's find out.
brian redban
I think he was at the Ice House recently.
joe rogan
Really?
unidentified
Yeah.
jim jefferies
I, man, those era films, like Wayne's World and all that, were a big deal for me.
brian redban
Yeah, me too.
I think I saw Wayne's World more than any movie ever in my life.
joe rogan
Well, he's doing a bunch of theaters.
He's doing San Manuel Casino, and he's doing the IP Casino Resort and Spa.
He's doing smaller casinos.
But maybe he's doing, you know, he just mostly works up there.
jim jefferies
I want to put him in legit.
If we get a third season, I want to put him in.
joe rogan
Have him do an impression of you?
jim jefferies
Yeah, maybe that could be the reason.
Like I could see him on TV doing impersonation of me.
I go to confront him or something.
It would be a cool episode.
Like if I was a bit arrogant and all upset and I was on coke when I was watching the episode where he was doing that or the TV spot.
joe rogan
I think for a guy like him, you know, I bet it's probably really a nice thing to do, to just be able to do theaters, just do his gig on the weekends and then go places and not have anybody telling him, you know, oh, our movie got funded, the production company wants to change something about your show.
jim jefferies
It's like my PR person wanted to come along to me with this because they didn't book it.
They went, oh, we should come along to everything.
I'm like, I've done Joe's podcast before, just fine, getting there by myself.
joe rogan
Oh, PR people are disgusting.
When people bring them and they start talking to me, what he needs to do is, get the fuck out of here.
Get the fuck out of here.
You can't talk for him.
There's a reason why he's here and not you.
He's a talker.
This is a comedian or she or whoever the fuck the guest is.
jim jefferies
It's a very odd occupation, the PR. Well, they're confused.
Everybody else that you have employed, you can sort of...
Exactly tell where the money's coming from.
Your agent books the gigs and your manager gets your thing.
You can sort of go, quintessentially, you can justify that.
But with PR, it's just like, I don't know, is that worth the money?
I don't know.
Did I get anything out of it?
Is my life better?
I'm not sure what happened there.
joe rogan
Some of them are real good.
Some of them are really good at it.
I have a good publicist.
If I need to do things, he can get me those things.
If I want to promote something, a gig or what have you.
But the bad ones are the ones that tell the clients what to say and what to do and where to don't talk about this.
Remember, don't do this.
Don't do that.
You can never do that with a comic.
Comics should do, most likely, the mistake that you think that they're going to make would be one of the best things they could do.
Like you telling them not to say something, if they wind up saying it and it becomes hilarious, a big uproar, and the network gets pissed, it's probably the best thing they could ever do.
jim jefferies
I got in trouble a couple of weeks ago on Opie and Anthony just ringing in and I had to have my publicist check that I didn't fuck everything up in my life because Carrie Fisher's in this season are legit and so I chatted to Carrie Fisher for a while and Carrie Fisher told me a little bit about what she was doing in Star Wars And I didn't think it was a big secret.
And I was talking to Opie and anything about it.
joe rogan
What was it?
unidentified
Yeah, what was it?
jim jefferies
It turns out, like, on Star Wars forums and webpages went fucking mental.
unidentified
Like, Jim Jefferies just spilt the beans on the new Star Wars film.
joe rogan
Oh, no.
jim jefferies
And I was like, ah, fuck.
They're the last fucking bit of mafia in this town that I need going after me.
The people who are in charge of it.
brian redban
Disney.
jim jefferies
20th Century Fox and Disney at once, teaming up to ruin my career.
joe rogan
So she told you a secret?
jim jefferies
No, she didn't tell me a big secret.
All she said was, she said to me, she goes, I'm going to film Star Wars sort of January through to July.
And I said on opening Anthony, I go, well, it was announced.
I go, she can't be having a small role.
Because she's there for that many months.
So, like, I imagine that we're going to see her, Luke Skywalker, and Han Solo in the whole film.
You know, which many people were speculating that they'll just have a cameo.
Right?
And I was saying, well, that amount of time...
And I thought maybe this was information that everyone already knew.
unidentified
Yeah.
jim jefferies
I didn't know that I had some secret.
I can say it again here because I'm already in trouble, right?
joe rogan
She was the one who fucked up by telling you.
If you're going to tell someone something that's a secret, you've got to say, hey, you can't tell anybody this.
jim jefferies
Well, I don't know if it was a secret.
I don't know if it's just been blown out of a point.
But they say that Episode 7 is a continuation of Episode 6. I'm like...
unidentified
Eh!
jim jefferies
There's going to have to be a 30-year gap between these things unless something happened with the Force where everyone aged really fast.
joe rogan
They lost me 100% a few years back.
It's like the first couple of Star Wars, the original few, were pretty good.
And then when they took that gap and then came back, was it in the 80s?
The late 80s when they started doing them again?
jim jefferies
No, no, no.
The Phantom Menace was...
Later than that, man, that was like 19...
No, 2000, I was at university.
joe rogan
Was it really?
jim jefferies
Yeah.
joe rogan
Okay, well, wherever it was, I was like, man, this is just not Star Wars.
jim jefferies
That was the height of my ecstasy taking.
I was at that stupid thing when you get so into pills where you're like, we're going to have to see Star Wars and we'll be on ecstasy.
Because it's like, someone's just spent a billion dollars on special effects and that's still not good enough for my mind anymore.
I need to see it.
joe rogan
What is it like to see that movie on Ecstasy?
Do you forgive them more?
jim jefferies
I actually saw it the first time on Ecstasy and I remember saying to people as we walked out, best Star Wars ever.
And then I went and saw it two more times.
And also, it didn't adjust after the drugs were off because I'd been telling everyone all that week, you've got to see it.
It's better than the original Star Wars.
joe rogan
Oh no!
jim jefferies
Because the pod thing, not the podcast, the pod racing blew my fucking mind when I was in XC. Yeah.
brian redban
Jar Jar Binks, he is awesome in this movie.
jim jefferies
Best actor.
I smell an Oscar.
joe rogan
Do you remember how bad that character was?
Everybody was angry.
jim jefferies
You know what was bad about those new films were, and I don't know if George is just an idiot, but a little bit racist.
joe rogan
Yeah.
jim jefferies
Jar Jar Binks was obviously like a black sort of slave woman from a Gone with the Wind style film.
brian redban
And a black actor.
joe rogan
Pull up the Jar Jar Binks video.
jim jefferies
No, but the way he talked.
Ah, me sir, get you for that, sir.
Me sir gonna help you out to me, sir.
And he was like, just fucking shine my shoes and fuck off.
Like it was that level of racism they were putting in.
And then they made the guys who were the trade embargo people.
They were like Nazi-esque Japanese people.
unidentified
They were like, you have no section here in this part of the galaxy.
jim jefferies
Like that, right?
joe rogan
Pull up a video.
Pull up a video.
I don't want to hear you do it.
jim jefferies
No, it's Aunt Maybel or whatever.
joe rogan
Well, that's interesting, man.
I never even thought about it that way.
jim jefferies
And then the goodies all had British accent.
All the Jedis were like, we are part of the realm of the thing.
unidentified
And then, you cannot come into our trade.
jim jefferies
Right?
So it was like...
And all the Gungans were like laid-back Jamaican-style black people in the end of the film where they were all like hippies.
joe rogan
There is that thing that we do when we have a language that we want to be noble.
We give it an English accent.
jim jefferies
Or villains.
They're good at villains or romantic leads, the English accent.
joe rogan
Like, when you hear...
Why is this music playing in the background?
brian redban
Because I think most of the videos with Jar Jar Binks have been taken off YouTube, but this one's so awesome.
unidentified
*喝 병 and it's almost full of damage to F grapple around with the He always has to walk ten steps behind these masters.
joe rogan
That's so weird, man.
The music is killing me.
jim jefferies
He was the first fully CGI'd person in the cinema, and the technology just was a few years off.
Because then they sort of nailed it with Gollum.
joe rogan
Well, they can make it...
The thing about these guys, like Jar Jar Binks, is it's not a real thing.
So you don't compare it to a real thing, and it doesn't fuck with you.
Like, a real lion looks way different than a CGI lion.
There's something about the way they move.
It's like...
But Godzilla is probably going to look fucking badass.
jim jefferies
Lizards and stuff look really good, but I always say don't CGI clothes.
As soon as you CGI clothing on something, the material doesn't flow too smoothly like it's water or something.
It doesn't ruffle like a real shirt.
Yoda looked cool as a puppet.
He was more believable as a puppet because he existed.
joe rogan
Yes.
jim jefferies
And now Yoda, it's like with his flowing cloak that he comes in with, it just doesn't, that's what takes me out of it.
joe rogan
Yeah, that's the argument that special effects guys have for using makeup and like Richard, you know, the type of special effects that they used in Star Wars, the original Star Wars, it's all like the same shit they use in American Werewolf in London, like rubber and, you know, hair and they, it's all special effects guys.
jim jefferies
But it's real.
joe rogan
Rick Baker was like the main guy.
But yeah, it's a real thing.
Whereas like if you're looking at, hair is a big one.
Like flowing hair.
Any flowing hair that's CGI, it looks like shit.
jim jefferies
Yeah, yeah.
Unless it's like in a CGI world, like a Pixar film where everyone's fucking looking that way.
But if it's standing next to another person, you're like, Yeah.
joe rogan
It's not real.
Yeah, it's not.
They're not ready yet.
Animals are not ready yet.
The wolves in Game of Thrones, those dire wolves, they're like...
jim jefferies
We got John Ratzenberger on my show.
He plays one of the dads, right?
Who's Cliff Clavin from Cheers.
joe rogan
Ah, great.
jim jefferies
Now, I can always tell the age of a girl...
Like, I don't shit on my girlfriend or anything, but I always think when these girls were extras, I have one line on the thing.
You always think, I wonder if I could have fucked her.
You know, that's how all your life is like this, right?
joe rogan
Right, of course.
jim jefferies
And I was talking to one girl thinking she was cute.
And then this is the way I gauge a girl whether she's too young for me.
Whether when she's talking to John Ratzenberger, does she know him as A, Cliff from Cheers or B, the pig from Toy Story?
And if she's never heard of Cheers and he goes, oh yeah, I'm Hammy, the pig from Toy Story.
I got some coin.
Hey, Buzz Lightyear.
If he does all that and they go, oh, I know who you are.
You go, okay, you can't go near that girl.
It's too young.
Too young.
It's a...
Like, surely you must have seen Cheers once.
joe rogan
A lot of people haven't.
jim jefferies
You know why?
Because kids today don't see anything old because they've got too many channel options.
joe rogan
It's true.
Too many new shows to catch up on.
jim jefferies
I used to see...
I've seen all the Albert Castellanos, Mar and Park Kettle films, every Shirley Temple movie, because my mother liked these old black and white films, and they were on a Sunday, and we only had four channels, and we only had one TV, so I had to fucking sit and watch these films, right?
Because I didn't go out of the house for whatever reason.
Now, the kids today...
They've got their own, you know, you had to wake up for a cartoon.
Remember you had to, the cartoon was at Sunday, you had to wake up for it.
joe rogan
I remember that shit.
jim jefferies
Now you can DVR it, plus you've got a cartoon channel, and then when you get a bit older, you've got this channel that sort of caters to you being a fucking moron, the Nickelodeon one, where it's like, now, like, you're growing up a little bit, we're still going to keep you children.
When the kids should be start watching more adult sort of, drama-y type things, now they're watching fucking Miley Cyrus or Hannah Montana or all that type of shit.
joe rogan
Have you ever seen Nick at Night or Nick Moms?
They have Nick Moms stand-up.
Nick's After Dark, yeah.
jim jefferies
Where they have the moms doing stand-ups.
joe rogan
About being a mom.
jim jefferies
Yeah.
joe rogan
I guess it works for them.
I'm not hating or anything.
jim jefferies
But it seems like a very restrictive thing.
It's like I once did an atheist convention in front of like 5,000 people in Australia and I was booked to do it.
And as I said, I retire my jokes after they're done.
This is the only time I brought back old jokes in recent times because I had to do a 40-minute set.
It had to be all religious stuff.
And I have 40 minutes of religious stuff over the course of all my specials, but never at once.
So I actually sat looking myself up on YouTube going, oh, that's how that bit goes.
Oh, that's how that bit goes.
So I could just do a religious fucking set.
joe rogan
A 40-minute religious set.
How do you keep yourself from repeating the same sort of theme?
jim jefferies
Well, I've done a lot of religious things, but there was a little bit of cheating going on in the sense that I'd go, I'd go, fucking, these Catholics don't like people wearing condoms, do they?
Anyway, fuck the chick without a condom.
That wasn't a religious routine.
But there was some definite...
joe rogan
You got to.
jim jefferies
Yeah, there was some dressing up of other jokes to make them look like they were religious.
joe rogan
That's funny.
jim jefferies
But when you do...
When you meet that many atheists...
Okay, the atheist community, not a good looking bunch.
Not a lot of sexy atheists.
I don't know why.
joe rogan
A lot of redundancy too.
jim jefferies
Yeah, a lot.
And yeah, as I said, my opening line was, look at this, 5,000 people talking about nothing.
You know?
Like, there's a lot of effort to talk about nothing.
joe rogan
Well, have you ever heard of Atheism Plus?
jim jefferies
What's that?
joe rogan
Ugh, this is where it gets rough.
It's Atheism Plus a set of core ethical and moral values.
So, it's like, you know, anti-discrimination, anti-racism.
Essentially, it's a religion.
A religion based on...
A type of anti-religion but social code.
jim jefferies
You should just know how to do these things.
You should have your own social code inherently in you as a human being.
joe rogan
I call it duh.
Atheism plus is duh.
Yeah, duh, don't be racist.
Duh, don't be homophobic.
I think at a certain point in time, when enough information gets distributed...
Like, okay, like, for instance, this group, okay?
The four people that are in this room.
If you want to start preaching to the four people in this room that you shouldn't be homophobic or you shouldn't be racist, like, to us, with no point other than just espousing your beliefs, we'd be like, duh.
jim jefferies
Of course.
joe rogan
What the fuck are you saying?
Unless there's some humor to it, you're just repeating some shit that everybody with a fucking brain and a heart agrees with.
Like, why would you be sexist?
Why would you be homophobic?
Why would you be...
jim jefferies
Yeah, all the simple fundamental things that decide whether you can be friends with a person.
Just the bit where these are deal breakers for me, if you're homophobic, you're racist, I think you're a cock, if you're any of these things.
And then there's the other things like, I'm anti-gun, I have a lot of people who are pro-gun, you know what I mean?
That's something that's just open to fucking argument or debate, but it's not a deal closer when it comes to being a friend, right?
joe rogan
Absolutely.
jim jefferies
And then, of course, we all hate women.
We're all on the same page with that one, right?
joe rogan
The antidepressant one is one that I leave open to debate.
I have people that I'm friends with that will go on this big rant about how evil antidepressants are.
And I have friends that are on them.
jim jefferies
Oh, I've used them and I've found they have helped me in my life.
joe rogan
You used them and you got off of them?
jim jefferies
Yes.
joe rogan
Why'd you get off of them?
jim jefferies
I probably should stay on them, but I'm of the opinion in life it's better to be taking nothing into your body, medicine-wise.
You know, there's other things you should take, vitamins or whatever, but I feel like if you can get away with it and not take it, it's probably better in the long term.
joe rogan
Have you ever fucked around with 5-HTP? What's that?
5-HTP is the building blocks for serotonin.
And you can take it in a supplement form.
And 5-HTP actually helps your body produce more serotonin.
It makes you feel better.
jim jefferies
Alright.
I'd be definitely up for something like that.
For me, I've been on antidepressants sometimes.
Sometimes a big tragic event happened in my life and I just haven't been able to pull my shit together a couple of times that happened.
The last time I was just suffering from depression and it just wasn't fucking shifting.
joe rogan
You ever been hitting the head?
jim jefferies
Yeah.
joe rogan
How many times?
jim jefferies
Lots?
One major, like high school a few times, but one major time as an adult.
There's an infamous video of me getting punched on stage, but that one didn't actually hurt.
That was just a little dinger.
But one time I got off stage in Nottingham, England, and no hint that the gig had gone badly or hecklers or anything like that, and a guy came up and grabbed me from the back of the head and smashed my head into a table, and I fractured my skull above the bridge of my nose.
joe rogan
Why did he do that?
jim jefferies
I'm never quite sure.
I was knocked out.
joe rogan
Did they arrest the guy?
jim jefferies
From what I heard, the security roughed him up.
The British government gave me £10,000 in compensation.
joe rogan
But you got knocked unconscious, huh?
jim jefferies
And I woke up in a hospital, yeah.
joe rogan
Fuck.
jim jefferies
It was like one of those one-hitters.
Also, I was facing the other direction and...
It was really...
And this is what I'll say because this is one of the debates I get in.
I'm all for public healthcare and I'm saying that as someone who's got money and would pay for my private healthcare on top of that anyway.
In Britain, man, they put me in a hospital.
They never checked my name.
They made sure I was all fucking well and good and then they just left me and I wasn't a citizen or nothing.
joe rogan
I agree with you 100%.
I think that healthcare should be mandatory that society takes care of its citizens.
I think there should be optional healthcare, like a really good doctor, you know, like to get your knee fixed or something like that.
You want to go to the guy who does the Lakers.
But everyone should be able to get healthcare.
jim jefferies
You should, the poorer people in society should have free healthcare.
And when I say the poorer people, people like students, even if you come from a rich family or whatever, but once you're on your own at 18 and you want to stand on your own two legs and you don't want to ring mum and dad up and go, you know what I mean?
They should be taken care of.
And then once you get a bit, like normally when you get money, it's later in life and you have more ailments later in life anyway.
But in the UK, I paid for my private healthcare on top of my normal healthcare.
Now, the public healthcare.
If I had something small, I used to use the public healthcare just to see a GP or the emergency room or whatever.
I just saw my thing.
And then if they said, for instance, I had a cyst in my neck that had to be cut out.
And the doctor goes, alright, you can be put on the waiting list for the public healthcare, you can get it done in four weeks, or I can do it for you tomorrow if you use your private cover.
So you get moved up the ladder a bit quicker.
joe rogan
Ah, I see.
jim jefferies
So all these people who are complaining in America, oh, I won't get as much help.
If you still buy it on top, that's a better system.
And then nothing changes.
But I don't think they've structured it brilliantly out here, or maybe...
They've been up against it trying to explain it to Americans.
Because I listen to people on the radio all the time who sound poor to me.
They sound like they're working class people.
And they're like, I don't want this healthcare.
This healthcare is going to...
And you're like, you don't want what?
The whole fact that these companies...
Won't cover existing conditions.
If you have a little child that's born with AIDS or whatever, I know that's a very exact thing I've just said, but of course someone, they should have healthcare.
joe rogan
Exactly.
Exactly.
You know, there should be certain core things that society takes care of.
There should be law enforcement, there should be hospitals, there should be fire departments.
When those core things are not being taken care of, If you don't have healthcare for people, what's the point in having a society?
If you can't give these people the ability to heal themselves, isn't that one of the major things you would want to take care of?
jim jefferies
People say it's not in the Constitution, but in the Constitution...
joe rogan
What?
jim jefferies
Well, it was written when healthcare was shit.
joe rogan
Yeah, they didn't even know what the fuck they were doing.
They had chicken bones.
They didn't even have Band-Aids.
How about that?
They didn't have Band-Aids.
They didn't have sticky shit yet.
jim jefferies
The leeches were very, very in.
That's how people thought you'd heal.
joe rogan
They didn't know enough about bodies.
But the whole idea that we have to stick only by things that were in the Constitution, the world is so fucking radically different than it was in the 1700s.
jim jefferies
Yeah.
joe rogan
And the idea is just fucking stupid.
It's just a stupid idea.
The Constitution has some great ideas and a great understanding of what goes wrong when corruption takes hold.
jim jefferies
It's like the Ten Commandments.
It's a good foundation and a base, but then you can add to it and then...
What did Louis C.K. say?
The Ten Commandments don't say you can't rape.
joe rogan
Well, rape is kind of tolerated in the Bible.
Women are second-class citizens in the Bible.
It's so clearly flavored by the time in which people wrote it.
There's a lot of fucking shit in the Bible.
When they talk about coveting their wife's neighbor, that's not about fucking her or wanting to fuck her.
It's about she's property.
That's what it is.
Coveting, it's like taking his property.
It's not like coveting his wife, you know, because they're in love and you're going to fuck up their gig.
jim jefferies
Coverting her face and over her tits.
Look at all that covet I put on you.
I don't have a great grasp of the English language.
joe rogan
I don't think most people do.
Coveting thy neighbor's wife, though, is about him being, you know, him owning her.
jim jefferies
Yeah.
joe rogan
Slaves.
They have all these laws in the Bible about beating your slaves.
jim jefferies
It's all written about wherever the guy was within a five-mile radius.
There's a webpage called Ask God or something where little kids can type in.
And the most asked question on Ask God is, this is what kids' brains work like.
Kids want to know, were there kangaroos on the ark?
unidentified
Right?
jim jefferies
After they hear all the stories, a child can get the Bible down to, this is the information I want.
Were there kangaroos in the ark is the most asked question.
And the answer is, although there is no mention of kangaroos in the Bible, you can be assured because there was two of each animal that there were kangaroos in the ark.
joe rogan
They just decided to leave it out because not a lot of Australians read the Bible?
jim jefferies
No, they just left it out because they didn't fucking know about Australia!
God made the entire earth and the universe and all that type of stuff and he did it in like a week, but he didn't know about Australia, at least not to mention in his book.
joe rogan
The Australia thing is very interesting because it's such a huge continent and there's all these animals that are specific to Australia, like the kangaroo.
Those motherfuckers aren't anywhere else.
jim jefferies
No.
What a weird animal.
They went out and fucking wombats on the ark.
And when Noah finished, when the water was going down, or when the water was receding, like to where it is now...
Did he go and drop everyone off at their different places?
Maybe all these animals were rocking around the town that he was in.
They all lived in this one town.
And then he went, oh, these are all the animals we've got left.
You're going to Australia.
You're going to Australia.
Polar bears.
You're going to be on this boat for a while.
Lions, Africa.
He must have decided, right?
Is there a bit in the Bible where he decides?
unidentified
No.
joe rogan
They all walked and they found their spots on the world.
jim jefferies
Yeah.
How?
How did they make it to Australia?
joe rogan
God provided them walking on water abilities.
jim jefferies
They gave them those big shoes that you have on holidays that you think are good when you're going to walk on water.
brian redban
Tennis racket shoes.
jim jefferies
Yeah, those ones.
joe rogan
Those are snow shoes.
You need those, man, if you actually go walking in snow.
If you ever watch any of those Alaska shows where people live in...
jim jefferies
Stops you from sinking, right?
joe rogan
Yeah, they have these giant, like, you know, sort of like net-looking shoes, and they walk around on those fucking things, and it keeps you from...
It spreads out your weight over a large space.
It keeps you from...
Like, if you were on pegs walking through the snow, it would be a real fucking pain in the ass.
jim jefferies
Stilts would be no good.
joe rogan
Like you don't want a wide tire when you drive it in the snow.
A lot of people think that you don't want to get more traction if you had a wide tire.
unidentified
Oh really?
joe rogan
Yeah, you actually want a more narrow tire because a narrow tire cuts through the snow.
The big wide tires tend to float on it because there's more weight is distributed over a larger patch, a larger contact patch.
jim jefferies
I don't really understand the snow.
I find it weird whenever I go play a gig.
This week I was in Milwaukee and Detroit and it was snowing in both places.
And I'm there in the snow and I feel like telling the people...
You know you're allowed to live anywhere in America.
You're a citizen.
You can live anywhere.
You live in Hawaii.
Anywhere you want.
People shoveling out their fucking driveway.
It seems like madness to me.
joe rogan
It is kind of madness, but there's a certain type of person that grows up around snow that's a heartier person.
jim jefferies
I understand, like, Canadians, where they're like, ah, I like to hunt and this, and I like to cut down trees and shit.
You know what I mean?
joe rogan
Make my own syrup?
jim jefferies
Yeah, yeah.
I'm going to put a tap in that tree over there and get syrup out of it.
I'm like, alright, enjoy yourself.
But I don't understand if you live in the city.
Let's say if you have an apartment in the middle of one of these cities.
joe rogan
Right.
jim jefferies
If you want to live in a big house in the hills and be like...
joe rogan
In the woods.
jim jefferies
I've brought you some elk.
joe rogan
Right.
That's what I'm talking about.
jim jefferies
Yeah.
I understand that, but I don't...
Why?
joe rogan
Why live in New York City?
jim jefferies
I don't understand.
And I also don't understand why...
Let's say you have a shitty job.
Like you're the guy in a booth that cuts keys.
Right?
And you fix heels and shoes.
I've never understood why those two occupations are bound together.
joe rogan
Are they together?
unidentified
Yeah.
jim jefferies
It's always the shoe fixing guy also will cut keys.
joe rogan
I don't know if that's true.
You know what?
The mailbox, there's a UPS place that I send packages out of.
They also make keys.
jim jefferies
Yeah.
Keys have attached themselves to other occupations.
joe rogan
You can't just have a key store.
jim jefferies
You can't just have a key store.
You gotta go, I make keys and donuts.
joe rogan
I never knew that the shoe was there.
jim jefferies
No, the shoe guy is inherently mixed in with the key guy.
I understand the key guy when he's hanging out with the guy who puts batteries in watches.
joe rogan
Look at that.
jim jefferies
It's a fucking sign.
brian redban
It's a sign for sale on eBay.
It's for key cutting.
joe rogan
We should get that and ship it to Jim Jeffries.
jim jefferies
Shoe repair and key cutting.
That's the thing.
joe rogan
Please purchase that.
It's $29.99.
unidentified
Please purchase that.
joe rogan
We'll have it shipped.
jim jefferies
Thank you.
I'll have that.
I'll put that in my gymnasium.
So they have those.
Okay, now if you do that job and you're doing, you fix a heel for $5, $10 and you do a key for $3 and you sit in your booth keying and shooing, Why do that in Manhattan?
Why don't you become the guy who does that in, like, Kansas, where it's a lot cheaper to live?
joe rogan
Because they live in Manhattan.
jim jefferies
I know, but you can live anywhere!
joe rogan
But you're not making a lot of money with that key business.
Enough where you can stockpile up your cash, move to a new place, get a new house, move all your shit there.
Yeah, but it's a big investment to move.
See, the big problem with moving is you need three months worth of rent.
You need first, last, and security.
That's a lot of fucking money.
You also need the moving truck.
You also need the time.
jim jefferies
Oh, I start again every year.
I just give away all my shit.
joe rogan
Do you really?
jim jefferies
I moved to England, gave away all my shit.
I moved over here to America, gave away fucking everything.
joe rogan
Yeah, but you're a successful comic.
There's a difference.
You make a good living every week.
The stuff that you need to do your job is minimal.
I mean, what do you need?
You need a notebook and clothes.
jim jefferies
Well, but when I moved to Britain, I was flat broke.
And then when I moved over here, I actually was getting sued by Paramount when I moved over here, and they basically cleaned out my bank account as well.
joe rogan
Why were you getting sued?
jim jefferies
I had a Ford DVD deal with Paramount DVDs UK. I can speak about this now because it's been so long.
I think I've...
The statue of whatever.
Oh, maybe not.
I don't give a fuck.
So I had...
I had this four DVD deal and I had made one that was never meant to have gone into the shops.
I said, I'm just going to make one to sell after gigs.
So it was done really on the cheap and it's called Contraband, which is sort of a cool name for it because it wasn't in shops and all that type of stuff, right?
And What happened was, after I made that, I just started to get popular in the UK, and they released this into the shop, so I already wasn't happy with them, because it was a really shitty product.
Really basic looking crap product.
Anyway, I come over here.
So I got that DVD in the shops over there.
I'm doing very well in Britain.
I did well at the festival and I had a profile now.
I came over here.
I got my HBO special.
And I went back going, good news, everyone.
I got an HBO special.
I'm going to make it in America now as well.
And the lady that was the executive was like talking to a fucking child.
She was like, but you've still got a three DVD deal with us.
And I'm there going, yeah, but let me do this one.
Then we'll start selling product in America.
I'll do the next three with you.
You've already got me for a cheap rate.
Let me do this one in America to raise my price.
And she goes, but you can't do that.
Your deal's with us.
And so I went, I'm doing the HBO special, sue me.
And so they sued me for the advance money they gave me for the four.
joe rogan
How much advance do they give you?
Well, you don't have to tell.
jim jefferies
£90,000.
joe rogan
And so you had to give them back.
jim jefferies
Which is like 150,000 American.
It was a lot of money.
And I had to give them back that plus money that...
I might have been less than that.
Anyway, I had to give them that plus money that they'd spent on me.
So it was like another 20,000 pounds or whatever.
And so I said, all right, for that, I said, you have to take Contraband off the shelves because I never liked that one.
So I got that DVD pulled from the shops.
And I did a lot of jokes on that one in my HBO special as well.
But I got out of that deal.
Best thing I ever did, because I've now had three more deals since then to do DVDs afterwards.
It was the best thing ever, getting sued by those people.
But at the time, I had that much money, minus 10 grand in my bank account, and was like...
And I felt like I was the richest guy in the world.
I had like a hundred thousand pounds in my bank and I felt like I'm sitting pretty and then I'm going to move to America and then I was fucking broke, man.
They took it all, the bastards.
joe rogan
Well, it sounds like they were right.
You had a deal.
jim jefferies
Oh, no, they...
joe rogan
Unfortunately.
jim jefferies
Fundamentally, they were right.
joe rogan
Yeah.
jim jefferies
But they could have made a lot more money out of me if they just let me out to do this one special.
joe rogan
Yeah, but they wouldn't trust you to do that because if you went and did that...
See, they're not making any money off that HBO thing.
unidentified
No.
joe rogan
The only way to get...
jim jefferies
But they would have gotten Alcoholics fully functional than what I'm about to record.
joe rogan
Yeah, but they would never...
How do they know you would stay alive?
They give you this HBO special, you get hit by a meteor, you know?
jim jefferies
All I know is there was one of the executives that were working for Paramount who agreed with me and one of them who didn't.
And those two executives were fighting.
I think one of the execs actually left.
joe rogan
Because of it?
jim jefferies
Yeah, went to a different...
I went to work with Sony or something because he was like, I can't fucking...
This was just stupid.
joe rogan
This should be a way to work it out.
jim jefferies
I was the first British-based comic in, I can't even think of another one, but let's say in a very long time, to get a major break in America.
To get an HBO special or a Showtime special in America.
I'm sure Billy Connolly's probably done one.
Eddie Izzard's always produced his own type of stuff.
But I was the first British bass guy to have that sort of thing.
And there was no way I wasn't going to fucking do it.
joe rogan
Of course.
jim jefferies
So I just opted out of my contract and got sued.
I'm not angry about it to this day.
I feel like it worked out better for me.
But at the time, it was like someone punching me in the guts when you give over all that money.
You're like, oh crap.
joe rogan
Still, though, you getting rid of all your stuff, you're still a successful comic.
jim jefferies
Oh, no, no, no.
I was still being paid for the HBOs.
I had money coming in.
No, it wasn't super difficult.
joe rogan
Yeah, but I'm saying this is a lot harder for a guy who's making keys.
jim jefferies
Yeah, yeah.
Key guy.
joe rogan
If you really stop and think about a guy who has a real low-paying job and the idea of saving money...
And the idea of figuring out...
jim jefferies
Oh, it doesn't exist, saving money.
joe rogan
I was reading about this general.
You heard this case about this general that he got sued for sexual harassment or for sexual misconduct.
Adultery apparently is illegal in the armed forces.
That's how they got Petraeus.
Petraeus got kicked out because of adultery.
jim jefferies
Right.
joe rogan
Which is pretty fucking unbelievable when you think about it.
You're allowed to kill people, but you're not allowed to fuck someone other than your wife.
Like, they'll kick you out of the army for that.
Like...
Okay, whatever.
jim jefferies
It seems a little preachy, but yeah.
joe rogan
But they talked about how much this guy, how much he was making, and you find out how much a general makes.
They were talking about, it was $4,000 a month, or $5,000 a month for four months.
They took his money away.
He didn't get paid for four months while this trial was going on.
jim jefferies
I always find it amazing when you find out how much the president earns.
joe rogan
Yeah.
jim jefferies
Like a quarter of a million a year.
joe rogan
Yeah, it's not.
Well, I think it's a little more than that now.
I think it's like a half a mil for the president.
jim jefferies
I know that they earn less than the stagehands at Carnegie Hall.
Whoa, are you serious?
The stagehands at Carnegie Hall are union-based and you can pass the job on to your children.
And two-thirds of the stagehands at Carnegie Hall, it's like a fact that they always give in pub quizzes, earn more than the president.
joe rogan
Whoa!
In 2001, the president earned $400,000, along with a $50,000 annual expense account, a $100,000 non-taxable travel account.
Now, how much is it today in 2014?
Today, it's still $400,000.
unidentified
Plus free iPad, plus Monster Beats.
joe rogan
A travel account.
jim jefferies
You always get an upgrade on Delta.
joe rogan
The total salary is $550,000 per year with an entertainment stipend.
He has a $20,000 entertainment stipend.
jim jefferies
That means he gets to have Jay-Z come over and sing him a song.
Isn't that the one he likes?
joe rogan
I don't think that's what it is.
I think it means for his entertainment, money he spends things on.
$20,000 a year, which I guess, over the course of 365 days, 50, well, it's probably dinner and stuff like that, too.
jim jefferies
I thought he didn't pay for anything.
I thought he just had a corporate card where he could buy anything and it was on us, you know.
joe rogan
Well, he has an expense account.
There's an annual expense account, but it doesn't say how much it is.
But it says that in 1969, Nixon made $200,000, which is over a million today, in today's dollars.
jim jefferies
In expenses?
joe rogan
No, per year.
That's what his salary was.
Nixon might have given himself a raise, though, that cunt.
jim jefferies
Yeah, he was a crook, I heard.
Said he wasn't.
joe rogan
Oh, he was definitely a crook.
He was a piece of shit, but everybody was a piece of shit back then.
He was just one of the first guys to get caught.
There was a whole series of pieces of shits.
What is this?
brian redban
This is an interview that Jimmy Carter did saying that he doesn't use email to talk or anything like that because he thinks the NSA is spying on him, so he only uses postal mail.
joe rogan
Wow.
Well, now that he told them that, they're going to intercept his postal mail.
Read it, print it, reveal it.
What is he, retarded?
jim jefferies
Of course they're spying on him.
joe rogan
Who slips eat chips, you old cunt?
brian redban
Of course they're spying on him.
jim jefferies
He's an ex-president, right?
Of course they...
brian redban
He doesn't even know how to use a computer, let's be honest.
joe rogan
He probably knows how to use a computer.
He's a pretty smart guy.
jim jefferies
Wasn't he a peanut farmer?
joe rogan
Yeah, peanut.
At a certain point in time, I think kind of everybody who's paying attention knows how to use a computer in this day and age.
jim jefferies
I'm the worst at it, but I can still email and...
joe rogan
Then you're better than Dom Herrera.
You and Dom Herrera should get together and decide who's the worst.
I say Dom fucking beats you hands down.
jim jefferies
Oh, I can use Netflix and email and I can look at things and update my web pages and stuff.
That's all I can do.
But I was the worst for years and years and years.
And then I always used to look at kids With computers and think, look at these fucking pretentious cunt parents giving their kid an iPad when I didn't have an iPad, you know what I mean?
And now, I just gave my son, who's 16 months, I got a new iPad and I gave him my old one.
joe rogan
They love them.
jim jefferies
They love them, but also it's like, you have to, the world is now computers, so the sooner he gets his hand on a computer and is fiddling with a computer, the better.
joe rogan
Well, it's also, there's connections that are made.
There's a bunch of games that kids can play on iPads that are actually good for your brain.
They're making connections.
They figure out how to do puzzles.
They figure out how to count things.
There's like a series of educational games that kids fucking love.
My three-year-old steals my phone every time I leave it down.
She'll open it and start going.
She knows how to open my phone.
She's fucking three.
She swipes it and enters in the code.
She knows what my code is.
Goes right to the app she wants and starts playing these games.
And a lot of them are fucking really...
They're really good for your little brain.
jim jefferies
Well, my son's favorite game is a cat that repeats what he says.
joe rogan
Well, there's fun ones too.
My three-year-old likes to do one where she gives mani-pedis to dogs.
jim jefferies
Yeah, there's a lot of dressing things up...
Like this one, my son just looks at it and goes, and the thing goes back at him and he laughs.
It's weird.
As a comedian and someone who has been terrible at sports their entire life, I see a lot of people with dads when they're like, look, he just threw the ball.
He just threw the ball.
I literally, with my son, go, he knows that's funny.
I was proud in the same way that a sporty dad who sees his son kick a goal, I was proud.
I saw my son, he lifted up one ass cheek, he farted, and then he laughed.
And I was like, he's developing.
He knows what's good.
He knows the good bits.
joe rogan
My three-year-old runs over, parts her butt cheeks, and farts in my face.
jim jefferies
Right.
joe rogan
In my face.
Raw, naked ass, right out of the tub, runs over, bends over in front of me, and farts in my face, and then fucking cries laughing.
She thinks it's the funniest shit of all time.
unidentified
It is.
jim jefferies
It's pretty funny.
brian redban
You get mad.
joe rogan
No, I think it's hilarious.
How could you get mad?
jim jefferies
It's so cute.
I did something with my son that I think may be illegal, right?
You know, when you do something, you're like, oh, I might have committed a crime.
joe rogan
What'd you do?
jim jefferies
Well, I'm in the shower, as I do every morning, and he always comes up when he hears me in the shower, because he wakes up about an hour and a half before I do, because he wakes up early and his mom takes care of him in the morning.
I'm having a shower and he comes up when he hears that I'm awake and he starts bashing on the glass door.
And what I do is, because I'm an adorable guy, I always paint a little, like in the condensation, I draw a little tie on him or I give him a voice bubble and then say, I love dad or something.
I do this little game and he laughs.
Anyway, so I step out and I go, good morning, Hank.
And he slapped my cock and he ran off.
joe rogan
Why is that illegal?
jim jefferies
Well, you're a child touching your cock, right?
Now, I know, like, I didn't ask him to touch my cock, but also, is it illegal because I laughed?
And then told you.
You know what I mean?
joe rogan
My kids point at my dick and laugh.
jim jefferies
Yeah.
joe rogan
The three-year-old's like, look at your penis!
unidentified
Ah!
joe rogan
She thinks it's hilarious and runs off.
jim jefferies
They're right, though.
Penises are humorous.
joe rogan
Sure.
Vaginas are humorous, too.
Both of them.
jim jefferies
My son now is at the stage where love's holding his cock.
Just holding it.
unidentified
Of course.
joe rogan
Found out about it.
jim jefferies
And he sort of pinches it at the end.
I don't know.
I haven't got a lot of baby cocks to reference it against.
I think my son has a small cock.
But it's...
I think it grows alright.
I think he has a nice erection.
But I don't...
I think he has a very...
joe rogan
He has erections at 16 months?
jim jefferies
They have erections from day one!
joe rogan
Wow!
jim jefferies
Like, sometimes you wake him up in the morning, you'll take his nappy off because he's got a shit in there, and it'll be a shit-covered erection.
joe rogan
Uh-oh, that's a weird connection.
jim jefferies
And a good name for a band.
joe rogan
It's probably already taken.
It's probably a website.
jim jefferies
But it's...
It is...
Yeah, he gets like a little tiny Woody, and I always think...
What is going on in his head where he is wanted or needed an erection?
What was the dream that he had last night?
I know the dreams that I'm having when I wake up with an erection.
What are the ones that are...
Like, is that, you know, that cat saying suggestive things off the iPad?
What is...
joe rogan
It's probably just blood in his dick.
jim jefferies
It's probably just blood in his dick or it's longing for something that he, you know, I don't know.
joe rogan
You ever get boners when you're driving for no apparent reason?
You're not even horny?
jim jefferies
I have, yes, I have.
joe rogan
Those are weird.
Those are like blood pools up in your dick boners.
jim jefferies
Sometimes you go to have sex and you gotta fucking work it a bit to get it going.
And then like other times, you ever done that one where you masturbate in the car while you're driving because you've been stuck in traffic?
And then, I was alright with it in Britain, but too many people in this town drive SUVs.
unidentified
Mm-hmm.
jim jefferies
I drive a Challenger.
I'm lower down.
I get seen by a lot of people.
joe rogan
You've got to get tinted windows.
jim jefferies
Or I could just stop wanking in my car.
joe rogan
Or just get one of those things that women use when they breastfeed in public and just jerk off under that.
brian redban
Yeah, get a quilt.
jim jefferies
I found out the best thing to do is to plug my phone into the iPod connection and then play porn on it because then I'll get with Subwoofer and everything surround sound porn in my car.
joe rogan
That's a good move.
So do you like hold it with one hand and steer with like the last three fingers?
jim jefferies
I normally have to be in traffic so I'm not doing that much steering.
joe rogan
How often are you beating off in your car?
jim jefferies
Since I've lived in LA the last five years, I know of three times this has happened.
I'm not going to do it like right now.
joe rogan
It's like a hobby.
jim jefferies
This is like, I've just been somewhere, some girl's got me going, I'm in a bit of a frenzy, or I've just had a fight with my girlfriend, I'm in a bit of a bad mood, I need to cheer myself up.
joe rogan
I only beat off once in my car ever.
And it was when I was driving limos.
I was driving home from a gig.
I had to drop some lady off in New Hampshire, drive way the fuck up to New Hampshire.
It was a long ride back, like an hour and a half back.
I got bored, so I beat off.
And I remember the fucking massive feeling of disappointment in myself that I jerked off because I'm jerking off underneath my shirt.
As soon as I came, I was like, God damn it, this is going to be a thing I do all the time now.
And I never did it again.
I was shocked.
jim jefferies
Good for you.
Good for the restraint.
joe rogan
But it never came up.
I never wanted to do it again.
But I'm shocked because I figured I'm such a fucking idiot.
Once I do something embarrassing like that, I'm like, well, this is something I do now.
This is not going to be...
I'm not going to like...
jim jefferies
I remember once having sex with a girl and she was just yelling out, fuck me daddy, fuck me.
Right?
And I kind of went, hey, what are you calling me like this for?
And then I slightly enjoyed her saying it and I went, don't!
I don't need that to be a thing!
joe rogan
Yeah.
jim jefferies
Don't make that a thing for me because then I'm fucked up and I've got to ask other people to do it and then we're in a real fucking predicament.
joe rogan
When I was in Boston, I used to bang this really crazy Portuguese chick.
She used to call her pussy a cunt.
It was the first girl I'd ever heard say that.
She was like, fuck that cunt.
Fuck that cunt.
She was like angry about it.
I was like, I hope I don't start liking this.
That's gonna be hard to get someone else to agree to.
A lot of gals.
jim jefferies
Yeah, it's hard when you've got a thing.
And you've got to ask your girl to do that thing.
I, for a while there, I loved choking girls while I was fucking them for a while.
I'm not as choky as I used to be.
But I used to be very fucking hand around the neck, pin you down while I was fucking you, right?
And some girls, and because I was dating a girl who got off and doing that, right?
And that's what got me into it, was this is how I made this.
Then you meet the girls who don't want you to do that.
But then I met one girl who I was choking her, and then, you know, I'm not choking the whole time, right?
And then I've stopped, and she's sort of thought, oh, this is what we're doing.
She starts choking me, and I'm like, don't do that.
That feels horrible.
unidentified
Yeah.
jim jefferies
I don't know how bad it feels for you women, but it really hurts my male neck.
joe rogan
The choking thing is weird.
It's just like one of those other things where some people love it and some people hate it, and you never fucking know until it comes up.
You know, you could date a girl and have no idea she likes to be choked.
Like, the first girl that I ever dated that liked to be choked was so girly.
jim jefferies
Yeah.
joe rogan
She was, like, so, like, you would never...
She wasn't loud.
She always wore dresses.
She wasn't, like...
Boisterous or provocative or slutty.
She's a regular girl.
And she fucking loved it.
She asked me to choke her.
And I was like, what do you mean choke you?
How do you mean choke you?
She goes, just grab my neck while you're fucking me.
I'm like, okay.
Hard?
You want me to hurt you?
What's going on here?
And then if you thought about doing it to another girl, they would freak out.
It's weird what one person, what's their big turn on.
And another person is like...
jim jefferies
It's sometimes bad when you bring the choke into a girl who doesn't want it.
joe rogan
It's always bad!
jim jefferies
You're like, ah!
brian redban
I was with a girl that had an iron deficiency, and every time she would want me to choke her, the next day she would just have these horrible bruises around her neck, and she just would have to wear turtlenecks and stuff.
But it looked like if I ever got in trouble, oh, I'm fucked.
jim jefferies
Some girls do bruise up.
I just got diagnosed as an anemic.
joe rogan
Really?
jim jefferies
Yeah, which isn't pleasant.
joe rogan
Do you eat a lot of red meat?
jim jefferies
I do, yeah.
joe rogan
Do you ever take iron supplements?
jim jefferies
I'm going to start on iron supplements.
I've never taken them before.
Well, I think I got diagnosed like three days ago.
I'm actually going to the doctor again in 30 minutes for the second check on this.
joe rogan
You know, you still smoke cigarettes.
That probably has a factor in it too.
jim jefferies
Yeah, no doubt.
joe rogan
Yeah, cigarettes, I think that's one of the things.
brian redban
What is anemic?
jim jefferies
It's low hemoglobin in your blood.
They did a blood test.
It's the hemoglobin, globin, glebin?
joe rogan
Yeah, hemoglobin.
jim jefferies
Hemoglobin.
brian redban
Oxygen.
jim jefferies
Yeah, I'm not hugely anemic, but I'm a little bit anemic.
joe rogan
There's a PubMed study on it, the effects of cigarette smoking on hemoglobin levels and anemia screening.
It seems to cause a generalized upward shift of the hemoglobin distribution curve, which reduces the utility of the hemoglobin level to detect anemia.
So your body doesn't detect anemia, so it doesn't compensate as much.
jim jefferies
Also, I'm a super pale guy, and that's when you see super pale people, it's often they're anemic.
brian redban
I think I'm anemic.
joe rogan
Yeah, it's probably fucking cigarettes, man.
jim jefferies
No, but it's not just that.
I was just born...
I'm pale from a pale family.
We're just pale.
One of the things I hate about being pale is it seems like one of the few things in society about a way a human being looks that people in society can just pass fucking judgment and not act like they're being cunts.
joe rogan
Yeah, they can make fun of you.
unidentified
Yeah.
jim jefferies
If you see someone with a big nose and you go, fuck, you got a big nose, people go, whoa!
Ease up, will ya?
But you go, I'll have people who are actors on my fucking show, who I'm employing, who want to be in more fucking episodes, go, fuck your pile, man!
Fuck you!
joe rogan
Do you get offended by that for real?
Or you just find a reason to say fuck you?
jim jefferies
No, I do get offended by it in the sense that it doesn't bother me personally that I'm pale.
It bothers me when people bring it up.
I don't mind looking pale.
I even dislike, I did a photo shoot once for some headshots and the lady fucking put bronzer all over me and that whole photo shoot's ruined because I look too brown and it doesn't suit me.
joe rogan
You can't let them fuck with you with the makeup.
What is that?
brian redban
Tanning?
Is that you?
joe rogan
You took a selfie in a tanning booth?
brian redban
I did the gayest selfie ever, look.
joe rogan
It's not the gayest.
You don't have a cock in your mouth or your ass.
brian redban
No, it's in my hand.
jim jefferies
I tried my whole life to sunbake and to tan and to get darker all through high school when it did affect me when I did not like the way I looked.
I wasn't at ease with the way I looked.
Oh, I see.
joe rogan
So there's a residual thing when someone's making fun of you saying you're pale.
It used to be a thing.
jim jefferies
They used to call me Casper at school and stuff like that.
joe rogan
You can't do that about black people.
God damn, you're dark.
You have to know a guy really well to pull that off.
jim jefferies
I have a theory that the whole world wants to be like a coffee color.
Right?
Because all us white people are trying to get darker, and then the really black people now, it's very common for them to bleach their skin.
They bleach it down a bit.
They don't want to be super black.
joe rogan
Is it really?
jim jefferies
Yeah, there was a thing.
I was watching it on some tonight show.
This lady kept on bleaching her kids because she didn't want them to be super, super black.
They want to all be Beyonce.
brian redban
Brown.
jim jefferies
Beyonce Brown, I think is the term.
That's the type of paint that you get down at Home Depot.
I want some Beyonce Brown.
They want to be Beyonce, sort of that Whitney Houston sort of color, and white people want to be darker.
We all want to meet in this one sort of middle range.
joe rogan
Yeah, there's a nutritional supplement that allows people to bleach their skin.
It's something that's been really popular in the Philippines.
Um...
Fuck is the stuff called...
There's a...
There's...
There's an actual, like, nutritional supplement that people take.
And they inject it, apparently.
And it's getting popular in the Philippines for some strange reason.
jim jefferies
Well, you even look like the movie stars are always sort of like a more milky black.
And then when you have, like, a girl who is that girl out of Africa.
I think she's out of Africa.
I think she's British or something.
Out of 12 Years a Slave.
joe rogan
I didn't see that.
jim jefferies
She got nominated for the Oscar and all that type of stuff.
Oh, it's great, yeah.
And she was amazing in it.
But now they were talking about, like...
It's liberating or how good it was to see an actual black woman portrayed like, you know, like she had afro-y type of hair, like shaved down.
She wasn't trying to look like a white chick or something, you know what I mean?
joe rogan
Right.
jim jefferies
The fashion people were going, we really like this now.
I think we're only maybe...
See, if I was black, I don't understand women who do the hair.
If I was black, I would be afro all day.
I would be like Jackson 5. It's hot.
I know.
Whenever you see a chick with that hairdo, it's always like, fucking, look at that foxy chick.
It's always a big turn on for me.
I love a chick with an afro.
joe rogan
It was big in the 70s.
Girls just down there.
Foxy Brown had it, right?
jim jefferies
Yeah, when you see the chick who's like, I'm a member of the Black Panthers, and they've got the big fucking afro, you're like, fucking take me down!
Beat the white man!
joe rogan
Choke me!
Glutathione is it.
I couldn't remember it.
Glutathione, they take injections of this shit, or they rub it on their skin.
I don't know what the fuck they're doing.
Maybe both.
But glutathione apparently makes your skin lighten.
jim jefferies
That's it.
That's how you want it.
Look at that afro there.
joe rogan
But the problem is that's on her asshole too.
jim jefferies
Yeah, she'd have a big hairy muff.
joe rogan
The whole thing between the legs.
jim jefferies
A hairy cunt is the worst thing in the world.
joe rogan
It didn't used to be.
It didn't used to be a problem at all.
jim jefferies
Remember?
Yeah, but there was a girl I fucked in Ireland who was one of the best looking girls I ever fucking laid eyes on and she was at a gig.
And I was like single and young in my 20s and I made like, I'm going to get that girl, right?
And I was gigging in Ireland for three days and I romanced this girl from the moment I met her.
I took her out to lunch the next day and then dinner and then thing and took her to another show, invited her to friends.
I worked her, right?
And it's very hard to fuck an Irish chick.
And this chick was about 19. It's hard to fuck an Irish chick?
Yeah, they've all gone to Catholic schools.
They all have this cloud of sex is evil over them.
They didn't have Playboy until the mid-1990s.
Right?
It's a pretty repressed old sexual society, the island.
Anyway, so I fucking got this girl.
She's a little bit like, she wasn't up for it, but I convinced her and said, I'm going to come over to London and hang out with me.
And I was like, this is like my girlfriend now.
And then, what was this, like 2004?
And like a fucking, a full length wild bush.
And I had grown up in this era of not really seeing it.
I was just...
I almost couldn't...
I did fuck it, but I almost couldn't.
It was so horrific.
I still have flashbacks of it.
Right now, as I'm saying it, I can see it.
It was menacing.
joe rogan
Here's the total, complete opposite.
When I was in high school, I was dating this girl.
Dating, like, you know, we'd date, we'd go on and off, and, you know, didn't, you know...
In the on and off, she was banging this other guy who told her to shave her pussy.
jim jefferies
Yeah.
joe rogan
So...
She came over to my house, and we were about to get in.
She's like, I can't.
I can't take my pants off.
And I go, why?
She goes, you're going to think I'm a whore.
And I go, why?
Why am I going to think you're a whore?
She goes, because...
Whatever the guy's name is.
He talked to me and he shaved my pussy.
And I'm so embarrassed.
I'm like, I don't give a fuck.
Like, what do I care?
You know?
jim jefferies
You saw it and freaked out?
joe rogan
Well, I didn't care.
No, not at all.
But she was scared that I was going to see her with a shaved pussy.
The complete opposite.
jim jefferies
It's the only way to go.
joe rogan
But this is like, you know, 1980, whatever the hell it was.
jim jefferies
I find it weird when there's always women that you know have a hairy bush when they're having a conversation with you and like, why would men want to have sex with like a shaved pussy?
Like, it must be like having sex with like a child.
And you're like, that is the weakest argument you could fucking, then why, then you should only kiss men with beards.
If you kiss a man who shaved his face, what are you, kissing a young boy on the street, you fucking pedophile?
joe rogan
Exactly.
jim jefferies
Go out with a fucking Muslim cunt with a beard, where are you happiest?
Right?
joe rogan
It's actually, did you know that pedarast is someone who actually has sex with children?
jim jefferies
On a raft.
joe rogan
Pedophile.
Pedarast.
unidentified
Pedaraft.
joe rogan
That's a good spot for a pedophile.
Pedophile is someone who's attracted.
Pedarast is someone who has sex with them.
jim jefferies
But not attracted?
joe rogan
Yeah, they just do it because it's fun.
That's a very good analogy, though.
The beard analogy and the bush analogy.
Some people just don't want to do anything that is society standard.
A woman doesn't want to have to agree.
Why should I shave my pussy?
Why should I have to?
Some women are like that.
What, because it's in porn?
Is that what it is?
Because that's what it is.
It's porn as one.
jim jefferies
It might be because it's in porn, but it's also because once a man's used one of those shaven ones, it's a lot more enjoyable than the coarseness of the...
I remember fucking hairy pussies and having my cock all beaten up afterwards like it's been fucking ripped through a Brillo pad.
joe rogan
The last one I had.
Which is way back in the 90s.
The last girl with a crazy wild bush.
It's like my dick got all rubbed raw.
It was horrible.
It was like fucking a Brillo pad.
jim jefferies
It shouldn't be...
It shouldn't be a fucking...
Like...
Darwin, I'm sure he could explain it, why we have hairy nuts and balls and stuff, but pubic hair should die out.
They reckon crabs is dying out because of the shaven pussy, that it's on the decline because it can't be passed so easily.
joe rogan
But, you know, it's on the rise in hipster beards.
Crabs, that's where they live now.
They just jump from one Pabst Blue Ribbon can to the next.
jim jefferies
Is this true?
joe rogan
No.
jim jefferies
That would be cool, though.
joe rogan
Jesus Christ.
jim jefferies
I hate how hipsters now call themselves nerds.
joe rogan
They do?
jim jefferies
Yeah, well, it's like even like...
Okay, so I'm doing...
I'm doing the Nerdist podcast soon.
I like those guys.
Chris Hardwick's a nice bloke.
joe rogan
He's a nice guy.
jim jefferies
Not a nerd!
joe rogan
No, he's a handsome guy with a very good structure.
jim jefferies
Handsome guy with like a model girlfriend.
No, no, no, no.
unidentified
Being interested in Star Wars does not make you a fucking nerd.
Having hobbies...
jim jefferies
Isn't what a nerd is.
joe rogan
Yeah.
With your symmetrical face.
unidentified
Yeah.
jim jefferies
You know what a nerd is?
A nerd is a person who can't hold down a conversation and can't look a woman in the eye.
That's a fucking nerd, man.
joe rogan
Yeah.
Yeah.
jim jefferies
You're just...
joe rogan
Napoleon Dynamite.
jim jefferies
Napoleon Dynamite is a nerd.
Even the guys off the Big Bang Theory, they're real nerds.
But there's now this like girls going...
Girls wearing t-shirts going, I heart nerds.
Really?
Really?
A guy with a fucking club foot and...
And flaky skin around his face.
Is this who you heart?
unidentified
Is it?
joe rogan
Guy with food stuck in his braces.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah.
joe rogan
Perpetually.
jim jefferies
Yeah, who is a little bit autistic and that's why he's good at school but not at everything else.
joe rogan
Yeah, you like that.
jim jefferies
Yeah, that's what you like.
joe rogan
How dare you.
jim jefferies
No, you like wearing a fucking backpack that looks like Elmo.
That's what you enjoy, darling.
joe rogan
You like Hello Kitty stickers on your iPhone.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah.
joe rogan
You like nerds.
jim jefferies
Yeah, and then you'll see a girl that will be like, I'm a nerd, and she's wearing perfect pigtails and glasses.
joe rogan
And giant fake tits.
jim jefferies
Yeah, and I'm like, you're a fucking, a fuck machine.
That's what you are.
You're a cum depository.
That's hardly a nerd.
I remember not wanting to fuck nerds because they were nerds.
Why all of a sudden has the nerd culture become so fuckable?
joe rogan
Well, I think people are just always trying to be a part of a fucking group, whether it's be hipsters, be nerds, be whatever.
jim jefferies
I was a loner in school.
I didn't have many friends, but I wouldn't classify myself as a nerd.
joe rogan
How come you didn't have friends?
jim jefferies
I had problems making friends, and the main problem I have now, when I look back on it, I wasn't good at sport, a bit of a dick as well.
joe rogan
No way.
jim jefferies
Yeah, a little bit.
joe rogan
Get the fuck out of here.
jim jefferies
Probably talked a little bit too much when I should have shut up.
It may have been irritating, but I think my main problem was...
Because I found it very easy to make friends after school.
Once I got out of school, I found it very easy to make friends.
In university, I made friends very easily.
My mother was a school teacher at my school.
joe rogan
Oh, fucking Christ.
jim jefferies
Not just any school teacher, the 300 pound school teacher that yelled at everybody that walked around with a cane.
joe rogan
Oh, so you got it at school and at home.
jim jefferies
Yeah, yeah.
joe rogan
Oh my God, school must have been fucking torture.
jim jefferies
School was not a fun time for me.
unidentified
Oh my God.
jim jefferies
But I remember when I went to university, like actually enjoying this whole, wow, we're all this fucking, yeah, and like girls liking me and shit.
I'm like, ah, this is what it's like when your mother isn't within five feet of you all the time.
joe rogan
Oh yeah, that's a big difference though.
That's a terrible situation.
jim jefferies
Terrible.
joe rogan
You got your mother who's telling your older brother to kick your fucking ass and then you get to school and she's the one who yells at everybody and then all your friends know that your mom is the cunty teacher that yells at everybody.
jim jefferies
Yeah, so none of your friends...
I had a couple of friends at school but they never wanted to come over to the house.
You know what I mean?
Of course not.
It was a very hard sell.
Why don't you come over to my house?
Nah, let's not.
joe rogan
Let's just go to the woods.
Let's go hang out with the wallabies.
jim jefferies
Let's go hang out in the bush.
brian redban
Do you have a foot fetish?
jim jefferies
Do I have a foot fetish?
brian redban
Yeah.
jim jefferies
No.
brian redban
I just wonder if you had any mom type sexual...
joe rogan
Mom's not a foot fetish.
brian redban
A lot of foot fetish people have mom things.
Did you research this?
Yeah, because as a young kid you always see your mom's feet.
jim jefferies
Yeah, but I disliked my mother.
She's alright now.
I like my mother more now that I've had a child because she has proven herself to be a good grandmother.
But she was fucking hard work, man.
I used to say to her, I said, why did you make me go to the same school that you were teaching at?
It was the most nearby school.
And she goes, well, I was there first.
I'm like, are you competing with your fucking kids?
Go teach at the school over the road.
There was an all-girls school just down the street.
I don't care if you teach at school within half a mile of where I am.
joe rogan
Well, I was there first.
jim jefferies
Yeah, I was there first, but she just liked to keep an eye on us constantly.
She's a very dominating childhood.
joe rogan
Look, look how you turned out.
You flung the other way.
jim jefferies
Yeah!
joe rogan
That's how it works.
jim jefferies
Yeah!
joe rogan
I mean, what we were talking about, about you having a hard time shutting up in school and being a bit of a dick, all those things are perfect for being a comedian.
jim jefferies
Yeah.
joe rogan
The comedian, a bit of a dick, and talks a little too much, that's the guy who's going to say the funny shit first.
jim jefferies
Yeah.
Right?
You know what's weird now is I go back to Sydney and all the guys I went to school with who I, they probably didn't think they were bullying me, but who I felt bullied by for whatever reason, they all come as a group to my shows.
And they're like, come and meet me backstage, and they say I'm happy.
I hold no grudge.
They're good guys, you know what I mean?
But they weren't my mates at school.
I don't remember them.
joe rogan
I think kids bully at school for the same reason.
jim jefferies
Survival.
joe rogan
Yeah, well, it's a natural instinct, and they get shitty parenting.
I think that's a lot of where it comes from.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
They get bullied at home.
It becomes a natural part of how you behave.
You get bullied by your brothers.
You get bullied by your dad.
You get bullied by your uncles.
And then the first opportunity you get to shit on somebody, you do.
A lot of it is kids that grow up associating other people with competition and abuse.
They just associate it in a negative way.
jim jefferies
The bit I found hardest about the whole thing was, fuck the guys.
I just want chicks to like me.
joe rogan
Well, that's why you got into comedy, right?
jim jefferies
Yeah, well, I got into comedy, but also, I actually did pretty good with girls in high school.
I look back on it now, photos of me, 16, 17, I was a good-looking kid.
I didn't think it at the time, but I look back on it like I wasn't bad-looking at that age.
joe rogan
I did good in high school, but then after high school, I went through a fucking terrible drought that didn't go away until I became a comic.
jim jefferies
Oh no, I did.
My best years were high school and university.
joe rogan
Really?
jim jefferies
But I was getting attracted.
I did never go at my school.
It was always...
I had to go see other schools, find out where their parties were happening to get laid.
joe rogan
Oh, so girls that knew you was a problem.
jim jefferies
Yeah, yeah.
If you'd spent more than 10 minutes with me, you weren't fucking with me.
But if I could meet you at a party where the music was too loud that I couldn't bore you with conversation, there was a good chance I'd have sex with you.
joe rogan
I didn't get laid at all in college.
And the reason being is I took a year off after high school and then went to UMass Boston, which was like a commuting high school.
It was not a high school where you...
Or not a college, rather.
Commuting college.
It wasn't a college where you would go and stay there.
You would live somewhere else, you know?
And then you would go and take your classes there.
So everybody was like working and...
I was a loser.
I didn't have anything going on.
I was a martial arts champion, but I was poor and I was teaching martial arts and I was trying.
The only reason why I was going to school at all was so that people didn't think I was an idiot.
jim jefferies
I studied musical theatre.
joe rogan
Did you?
jim jefferies
Yeah.
joe rogan
So you got to bang actresses.
jim jefferies
It was the best.
It was...
They only took 20 kids a year into the course.
3,000 people auditioned.
joe rogan
Whoa.
jim jefferies
Right?
It was like a very prestigious thing.
It was the same course that Hugh Jackman did.
unidentified
Oh.
jim jefferies
And there was an acting, I couldn't act good enough, so I could sing a bit, so I got in the musical theatre thing.
joe rogan
You sing?
jim jefferies
I could, back in the day.
joe rogan
Do you sing now?
jim jefferies
No.
joe rogan
Do you think about putting out a soundtrack to legit?
jim jefferies
I'll tell you something about me you might not know.
There's a little fact about me.
I sang twice in the Australian Opera, in the chorus.
joe rogan
Really?
jim jefferies
As an employed opera singer, yeah.
unidentified
Wow.
jim jefferies
Wow.
joe rogan
Give us a little taste.
jim jefferies
I've had vocal nodules.
I've had surgery on my voice.
I can't.
It's over.
I'm not making up, though.
I sang in Charles Guno's Romeo and Juliet and Wagner's The Flying Dutchman as chorus.
joe rogan
What are vocal nodules?
jim jefferies
Polyps on your vocal cords, basically calluses from smoking, coke, yelling.
It's mostly from yelling, from them bashing together.
They get calluses, so you can't actually get your vocal cords close enough together to make high sounds, because there's always a gap in them from these little things.
joe rogan
So it makes you a man.
brian redban
It's like noodles.
joe rogan
Makes you a fucking man, is what it is.
jim jefferies
Yeah, well, I guess.
joe rogan
Is that a chorus?
That's where John Wayne's voice came from.
jim jefferies
Exactly.
It's like these gristled comedians who have yelled on stage all the time.
It's because they're just covered.
You know what else is bad with it?
joe rogan
Ron White.
jim jefferies
Bobby Slayton is polyped up.
I'm telling you, that guy's vocal cords are just...
Just nodule on nodule, I'm telling you.
joe rogan
He might have had vocal surgery.
I might be wrong.
But I've heard of comedians that have had that before.
jim jefferies
I had this before I was a comedian to try to save the singing career.
joe rogan
So you had surgery on the polyps?
jim jefferies
Yeah, yeah.
joe rogan
So they shaved down the calluses?
jim jefferies
Yeah, couldn't talk for two months.
joe rogan
Oh my god, two months.
jim jefferies
Yeah, just riding on a fucking pad.
And that was when I thought, this job, I'm going to get these back because I party too much.
And then I thought, I've got no other skills.
I've got no other skills in the fucking world.
And I decided, I always wanted to be a comedian, but it was a job that my parents would never let me do.
joe rogan
They wouldn't let you do?
jim jefferies
They said it wasn't.
My parents were happy with the musical theater because they saw my mother could brag and act like it was a bit more la-di-da than the whole thing.
But I decided I was going to be a comedian in that two months where I couldn't talk.
unidentified
Wow.
jim jefferies
And it was like a secret that I had to myself.
joe rogan
That's fucking awesome.

And I was checking out where the open mics were and how I was meant to do this.
I started watching a lot of stand-up videos and that's what I did, living by myself, not talking for a couple of months.
joe rogan
That's fucking awesome.
jim jefferies
And what was I talking about before?
Oh, the great thing about the course though, so 10 boys, 10 girls.
And there was two years above us.
So there's three years.
So there was like 90 people in the whole sort of department.
Half, 80% of the men were gay.
Right?
In the course that studied musical theatre.
So we had eight gay guys and two heterosexuals.
All the women were fucking hot as fuck.
unidentified
Ha!
jim jefferies
We've been dancing since they were a kid and just singing and fucking...
And we were all like 20. It was the best thing ever.
He was a reasonable looking fucking heterosexual guy.
It was fantastic.
Now, one of the main girls...
In the course was a girl called Chantelle Barry and Chantelle was the one that we were all like, she's going to be a star.
She was stunning.
You can look her up on the net.
She was fucking stunning.
She could sing better than everyone else.
She had everything, this girl, right?
And then they brought out the first version of Pop Idol or American Idol or whatever.
It was done in Australia first.
It was called Making the Band or whatever.
Really?
The show was actually originated in New Zealand, but then in Australia.
They made this girl band called Bardo, where all the people came in and auditioned to be in this girl band.
And the girl that was at university, she went to this audition for this TV show.
She got in the band, but they played it over weeks and weeks and weeks.
They had cameras in the house.
It was the first reality, big reality show ever where we were watching these people just living in a house and people couldn't fathom whether there's no actors.
This is real.
It was like a very...
There she is there.
Yeah.
Anyway, so I used to stand behind her stretching in dance class and just fucking just...
All I wanted was to have sex with this young lady.
Never happened, right?
So anyway, so she gets in this band and she steals...
The story goes she steals, I don't know, $10 or $20 out of one of the other girls who were in the band's bag.
And she gets caught because there's fucking cameras everywhere.
So she's got this big opportunity.
Everyone else who was in this band has gone on to big things.
Like Sophie Monk, who's the model out here, dated Ryan Seacrest for a while.
She was one of the other girls in the band and now does big modeling and is in movies and shit, right?
So Chantel gets kicked out of the fucking band.
Right?
Over.
Right?
So she moves over.
She's bad press in Australia.
They're all really slagging her off and all that type of stuff.
She was sort of our friend and she moved over to LA. And I remember looking at her MySpace page like, wow, she's made in LA. She was back up singing for Lionel Richie or something.
Right?
Like, everything worked out for her.
Right?
Cut to first season of Legit.
We need a girl in a scene that is just hot girl number two.
Right?
She comes into the audition and I went, fuck it up, Chantal Barry.
She didn't recognize me or remember me at all.
And I said, oh, where's your accent from?
And then I started saying the suburb she was from.
From about this and you have two older sisters?
Yeah, you look like someone who has two older sisters.
Because I used to party at her house.
And I go, you got a butterfly tattoo just above your ass?
And she goes, yeah.
And I went, we went to university together.
Right?
And then she went, oh, did we?
And then I went, alright, give her the part.
Right?
Because I'm a good guy.
The part had like one line and then she came on set and I think in that moment, this is how much of an arsehole I must be, she remembered who I was from school.
joe rogan
When she came on set?
jim jefferies
When she came on set, she was like, because Jim Jeffery, my real last name is Nugent.
I use my middle name as a stage name.
joe rogan
Is it because of Ted?
jim jefferies
No, I just, Jim Jeffery sounded better than Jim Nugent, Jim Jeffery, you know what I mean?
It was just, it was a little tiny thing to alliteration, you know?
joe rogan
Right.
jim jefferies
And so she, I wasn't going by my original name, so she had no reasons for it.
And then I sort of reminded her, I said, oh, we used to come over and your mum used to make this type of food and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
I think she was so pissed off that I made it and she didn't, that I had my own TV show.
That she went up to the producer and went, I've got food poisoning, I need to go home, and just walked off the set.
joe rogan
What?
jim jefferies
Didn't even do the job.
brian redban
Maybe she just got a little squirt.
Maybe she had to leave.
unidentified
Wait, wait, wait.
joe rogan
Really?
jim jefferies
Yeah.
unidentified
Wow.
jim jefferies
Didn't take the gig, man.
joe rogan
So what makes you think that it's because of that?
jim jefferies
I just think it's...
I just think people get fucking jealous, man.
We all get jealous.
I think she just was like, fuck this cunt.
Because I was the guy at university that you thought wouldn't make it.
All the other gay guys had abs and all that type of stuff.
And I was like a bit of a doughy fucking marshmallow looking cunt who could sing a little bit, who couldn't dance at all and was acting.
It was pretty average.
They always kicked out like five people a year from the course, like you're not good enough.
I left after I got the nodules and I was going to get kicked out anyway.
That was already right on the cards.
I jumped before I was pushed.
joe rogan
That competitive thing of show business is one of the weirdest aspects of it.
Sometimes even in relationships, I had a friend who got something and his girlfriend started crying.
He got some part in some TV show and his girlfriend started crying because she was like, when is something going to happen for me?
That was her immediate reaction.
And I remember thinking, wow.
jim jefferies
Gotta get rid of that bird.
Here's something that's about to happen to you.
Homeless!
joe rogan
Yeah, that's very unattractive.
That competitive thing.
jim jefferies
Yeah, you can't help it.
A little bit with comedy, it's very hard to never have it with any other start-up comic.
There's always going to be one where you go, that guy?
But I found out now...
And I think it's easier because I got a bit of success, but I don't give a shit.
I just worry about me.
I don't give a fuck if someone's got a movie or something.
I don't give a fuck.
I just worry about me.
And then you know the good guys, you know the bad guys, and that's it.
But in the early days, I got more jealous at...
How's that guy in at that club?
I've been trying to get into that club forever.
joe rogan
That's just the frustration of not having made it yet, and then once you have, and you've got some success, it goes away, and then you can actually enjoy it.
jim jefferies
But I think there's successful people who still fucking don't want any other cut to have anything.
joe rogan
Fuck yeah, there are.
Well, there's a lot of successful people also that only work with terrible comedians so that they shine.
Have you ever seen a really good guy who brings the fucking worst guys ever on the road to open for them?
jim jefferies
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
joe rogan
Tortures the audience for a half an hour with the worst fucking shit stand-up ever just so they can come in and clean up the show and look like a hero.
And that's really what it is.
They don't want anybody to shine.
jim jefferies
That's a very weird...
joe rogan
Common.
jim jefferies
Yeah.
joe rogan
It's common.
jim jefferies
The saying I like is chase the dream, not the competition.
joe rogan
It's a good saying.
jim jefferies
You know what I mean?
Because if you're worried about the competition, you'll always feel...
It's like people who get angry at fucking Aziz Ansari.
Like, oh, that fucking...
You know what I mean?
joe rogan
Who gets angry at that guy?
jim jefferies
There's plenty of comics who don't think he deserves...
joe rogan
What does that mean, though?
What is deserve?
unidentified
Who deserves anything?
jim jefferies
This is my thing.
Well, whether you like him or not, you're not a little tiny Indian bloke who's a little bit hip-hop.
So at least the guy's unique.
He's not stepping on your fucking toes.
I've never met another cunt like him in the comedy community.
joe rogan
It's that zero-sum thing that people have.
This idea that there's a finite amount of gigs.
There's a finite amount of audience members.
And if Jim Jeffries becomes big...
That takes away from me.
jim jefferies
I've had people accuse me of being like a foreigner coming over taking American jobs.
joe rogan
That's hilarious!
Who did that?
jim jefferies
I've had a few of them.
joe rogan
A comic?
jim jefferies
Yeah, yeah.
joe rogan
Who?
unidentified
Name names.
jim jefferies
Fuck them.
joe rogan
Name names.
jim jefferies
They're not people you'd know anyway.
joe rogan
Who cares?
Name them so we don't ever know them.
jim jefferies
There was a radio station in Tampa that got into me about that.
joe rogan
Oh my god, that's so stupid.
jim jefferies
Said that I'd come over and fucking America had made me famous and blah blah blah.
I said, look, I give back to America, man.
I said, my show employs over a hundred people.
And I've written it, I've produced it.
joe rogan
This is a recent thing, this happened?
jim jefferies
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And I said, my TV show employs over a hundred different people in different jobs, right?
And then he went, well, if you didn't do it, then an American would do it.
And you're like, it doesn't matter, mate.
I did it.
joe rogan
That's not true.
jim jefferies
I did it.
Doesn't matter.
joe rogan
That's not true.
That idea is not true.
The idea that if you didn't make that show, someone else would make that show.
jim jefferies
There'd be another show in its place or something.
I don't know.
joe rogan
Who the fuck knows what it would be?
It might not employ as many people.
It might not be a drama.
It might be a reality show that employs very few people and works non-union.
You know, that attitude is so stupid.
jim jefferies
It's also...
How...
Immigrant thing that you get, and I got it in the UK as well, is, well, we're all fucking immigrants.
joe rogan
Exactly.
The United States is 100% immigrants.
100%.
Immigrants or the children of immigrants.
That's how this was made, unless you're Native American.
jim jefferies
And they say 80% of all businesses in America now are either from immigrants or the sons and daughters, first generation immigrants.
joe rogan
Even if you're a Native American, that means you came over on the Bering Strait.
Your great-great-great-great-grandfather walked here from fucking Asia.
jim jefferies
Is that what happened?
That's very fascinating.
joe rogan
Native American, I mean, unless you're talking about Native Americans that have their DNA combined, like Mexicans, is a lot of Native Americans that had sex with Spaniards.
Like way, way, way, way back in the day.
But when they do the DNA chart of Native Americans, one of the things they found when they were researching, there was a guy who was a Mormon, a hardcore Mormon, and he's a really rich guy, and he wanted to prove that Joseph Smith was correct, and everything that he said in the Bible was true, and that the Native Americans were the lost tribe of Israel.
So he mapped out the genome of the Native Americans.
It turns out they're from Siberia.
So they came down.
They walked when it was a solid landmass.
jim jefferies
They've got sort of, yeah, Siberia.
Is that near Mongolia?
joe rogan
No.
Well, Siberia is Russia.
jim jefferies
Yeah, I know.
It's in Russia.
joe rogan
It's sort of near it in the fact that the Mongols actually invaded Russia.
jim jefferies
I'm not good with geography.
I've traveled the fucking world and I don't know anything.
joe rogan
Well, it's all in the same...
I mean, you wouldn't want to walk there, but I mean, it's all in the same landmass.
jim jefferies
It's all snow.
joe rogan
It's all suck.
Siberia sucks.
jim jefferies
Shoveling their fucking driveways.
joe rogan
But they're happy as shit, man.
jim jefferies
We're in their tennis.
Well, they reckon the happiest place on earth is Denmark or something, and it's like highest tax bracket.
And you know why?
It's because the most content people, maybe not the happiest, the most content people on earth are in Denmark, because it gets fucking dark at three, and there's...
You don't even dream about being a famous movie star or a musician.
There's no entertainment business that comes out of it.
You have to keep your dreams at a nice low level in Denmark.
So you never get crushed by the world.
You never have a girlfriend going, when's it going to happen for me?
All you have is people sitting around Denmark going, oh, well, you know, on Saturday we're going to have a drink, aren't we?
So I'll see Hans.
That'll be fun.
That's as much as your dreams get to.
Saturday, having a beer with your buddy.
You know, you never get ahead of yourself.
joe rogan
There's a Werner Herzog documentary on Siberia called Happy People, Life in the Taiga.
It's about all these people that live up there.
Virtually no mental illness.
A lot of fucking really content, happy people.
All they do is fish and trap and hunt.
That's all they do.
That's all they do.
They trade skins and meat and fish for fucking chainsaw blades.
jim jefferies
Because that's the thing is, you know when you go fishing, there's very few people that can fuck you over in your day.
joe rogan
That's true.
jim jefferies
You go work in an office, you're getting fucked over by people who are smiling at you.
joe rogan
Well, you're also dealing with unbelievably unnatural behavior.
Sitting in a box, the same box, every day, eight hours a day plus, and commuting, and all day you're sitting, and there's no physical movement at all.
There's nothing explosive going on with your body, no use of your senses, no fight or flight.
jim jefferies
But it's also like the bullying thing that you see.
You see these people who, when you first walk into CA, were assistants.
And they sat in that front thing and they'd always have a jar of M&Ms and they'd be like, hey Jim, great to see you.
Oh, here's some M&Ms.
Here's some water.
Like the happiest person in the world.
I'm getting ahead in the world.
And then they have that cunt that sat behind them that used to just call them a piece of shit because they got their coffee order wrong.
And then they'd go home and cry even though they smiled to you because it was part of their job.
And then the second that they get to move into that back little room and they get a person up there, they're fucking telling that person they're a cunt.
They can't get coffee to save their life.
joe rogan
Do you remember that movie?
jim jefferies
And the circle of life never ends.
joe rogan
The Kevin Spacey movie?
jim jefferies
Ah, which one?
joe rogan
The Kevin Spacey movie where he's like the worst fucking employee ever or the employer ever.
He's like an agent.
And he hires some guy and they wind up kidnapping him.
What was that movie?
Kevin Spacey.
Fucking shit, I can't remember that movie.
Kevin Spacey.
Agent movie.
Yeah, he's a fucking complete nightmare.
jim jefferies
I gotta get going.
I gotta get to the doctors, guys.
joe rogan
Oh.
jim jefferies
Is that a problem?
unidentified
No.
joe rogan
It's never a problem.
jim jefferies
We've done two and a half hours.
joe rogan
I just want to tell people what this fucking movie is, goddammit.
unidentified
Horrible Bosses?
joe rogan
That's not the movie.
That's another movie that he made that was based around the original first movie.
Find it.
Find it, Jamie.
Find it before we wrap this fucking thing up.
That's your assignment.
jim jefferies
Finding Nemo.
joe rogan
No, that's not it.
That's not it.
jim jefferies
Wasn't there a movie called Kangaroo Jack or something?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Yeah, there was definitely that.
brian redban
There was Kangaroo Jack too.
jim jefferies
My girlfriend at the moment can't leave the house because we live just off...
joe rogan
What is it, Jamie?
brian redban
Say it.
joe rogan
Swimming with sharks, that's exactly what it is.
Yeah, it's fucking great.
That's a great movie where you see what kind of a terrible environment that agent environment is.
It's the worst, man.
jim jefferies
Oh, it's the one where he swears...
I've seen the speech out of it.
joe rogan
Tortures this young kid that works for him.
I used to have a girl that I dated that worked for an agent.
She'd wake up in the middle of the night freaking out.
Like that she forgot to do something.
unidentified
In the middle of the night, oh, oh, oh.
joe rogan
And he was brutal.
He was just...
jim jefferies
Well, that's like...
Every occupation must have that, where you wake up in the middle of the night going, I forgot to...
Ah, shit.
joe rogan
Yeah, but it's a 24-hour job.
What about the bloke who puts bolts on engines for GM? Well, obviously there's inspectors that handle that along with it.
jim jefferies
Yeah, but it just takes a couple of people to have a bad day simultaneously.
joe rogan
Yeah.
This girl, though, this gig of being an assistant to an agent was literally all day.
He would call her up in the middle of the night, I need eggs, I don't have any eggs, go get me some eggs, bring them to my house.
She would have laundry she'd have to pick up.
It was all day, every day.
She made shit money, barely could survive, and it was all day on call.
jim jefferies
If you're watching this live, don't go to Laurel Canyon right now.
joe rogan
Why's that?
jim jefferies
I live in Mount Olympus.
My girlfriend has to walk up the fucking hill and park the car down the bottom of the road, which is like a mile up the hill.
Something's going on?
There's a cop being shot in Laurel Canyon, and the guy's barricaded himself in his house.
It was a domestic thing, and there's a standoff happening.
joe rogan
Oh, I heard about that this morning.
That's still going on?
jim jefferies
Well, she just texted me, don't drive down this way because she's walking up the hill.
joe rogan
Fuck.
Alright, folks.
Watch Jim Jeffery's show, Legit.
It's on FFX, FXX. Two X's.
jim jefferies
We're one X away from a sex parody.
joe rogan
What happened there?
jim jefferies
Why did it go from FX to FXX? Well, they've got a new channel and they had to move somewhere.
So us, Sonny, in Philadelphia and the League all moved over.
brian redban
Ali G's back.
jim jefferies
Ali G's on after our show.
joe rogan

I heard the Ali G one is a lot of his old stuff, too, that aired in England.
jim jefferies
It's all the stuff that aired in England that never aired over here.
joe rogan

jim jefferies

joe rogan
Oh, beautiful.
jim jefferies

Don't worry about that.
joe rogan
Don't worry about that.
Worry about Legit.

jim jefferies
Legit's at 10 unless you have DirecTV, which means it goes forward to 7 because you get them West Coast feed.
But yeah, it's 10 o'clock East Coast.
It's 10 o'clock East Coast.
