Three Why Cheeto Santino?
joe rogan
Why that?
andrew santino
I'll tell you, when I first moved to Los Angeles, I was playing this basketball league with these kids from East L.A. It was like the only connection I had in L.A. with these couple of kids that I knew from Long Beach.
And we would go play ball in this league, and then afterwards, we'd go to a bar and just get shit-faced.
Like, just blacked out, out of our mind.
22, like, every dime we had was going to booze and partying.
So we were partying, and I'm wearing basketball shorts, like white people do when you play basketball.
And all my Mexican friends, you know, they wear like whatever they had on the floor that morning.
It was like jeans and, you know, there was never basketball shoes for them.
And we're sitting there drinking and this dude, Pavo, his buddy of mine, he looks down at my legs and he goes, Dog, I gotta fucking ask you a question, player.
Like, did you have fucking orange leg hairs, dog?
I was like, dude, I've known you for years.
You've never seen that?
He's like, no, dog.
It's so gross, dog.
It's nasty to look at, bro.
It's kind of like if you ate a bag of Cheetos and you wiped the finger dust all over your fucking legs and she got Cheeto legs, dog.
So the Cheeto thing.
So then all these dudes, all these fucking, all these homies were always like, Cheeto!
It was just stuck so hard that when I got Twitter and Instagram, I was like, I have to have Cheeto as my shit.
Like, I have to embrace the Cheeto.
joe rogan
Embracing the Cheeto.
andrew santino
Embrace the Cheeto, man.
joe rogan
Wow.
unidentified
Wow.
joe rogan
This is a good time for orange-haired comedians.
The two of the greatest of all time have orange hair.
andrew santino
It's wild because I've always been such a massive fan of Burr.
I mean, I can't preach him enough.
I think I do.
I dick ride him so hard.
I think many people I talk to are like, all right, dude, enough.
Like, I get it.
You like him.
But I do, man.
I've always loved him.
And Louie has changed the game in a totally different way.
joe rogan
Both two are the best of all time.
andrew santino
Shocking.
joe rogan
Burr right now, he's doing something real special.
And he's also a man's man, an unapologetic man.
andrew santino
Dude, thank God.
joe rogan
Oh, there's so few.
It's such a hard time to be a guy.
andrew santino
Yeah, you're not allowed to.
Shame on you.
joe rogan
If you say that, people are like, It's so hard to be a man with all your male privilege.
Oh, cisgendered males complaining about how hard it is.
We're being judged, folks.
We're being judged harshly.
andrew santino
I'm a white straight male.
I'm the literal enemy, public enemy number one right now.
joe rogan
Yeah.
andrew santino
I walk around, you are the enemy.
You're automatically a rapist and a misogynist and an egomaniacal, money-hungry, driven, bad human being.
It's so fucked up.
joe rogan
This is how ridiculous it's gotten.
There was an article, oh, they're still complaining about being a man.
There's an article that I just read that was advocating that women should never go to prison.
unidentified
What?
joe rogan
It was like, let's stop putting women in prison.
unidentified
Yeah, see if you can find that.
joe rogan
The idea was that women are suppressed, and they already represent such a significantly small portion of the U.S. population.
andrew santino
So therefore, heinous crimes, then they don't deserve the same punishment as other people that have heinous crimes.
joe rogan
The number of women hit men would just go through the fucking roof, right?
Hit people if they couldn't be arrested.
unidentified
Yeah.
andrew santino
Oh my god.
So much domestic.
Well, that's like saying, okay, so if that's what the article's trying to say, then say any other repressed group in society.
Then minorities can't go to prison anymore.
That's the same logic.
joe rogan
They represent a much larger percentage, though.
So the thing she's saying about women is there's so few women in prison already, and women are, like, a lot of their behavior is due to the fact they've been suppressed by men.
andrew santino
Okay.
unidentified
Yes!
andrew santino
Oh my god.
joe rogan
Well, it's just the idea of us being on two teams is so crazy.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
The penis team and the vagina team.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
It's that simple?
andrew santino
Shirts and skins.
joe rogan
It's that simple.
andrew santino
Right, that's it.
joe rogan
Like, all people on your side are good, all people on our side are bad.
Do you know how fucking crazy that is?
andrew santino
It's insane.
Well, that's what I said, like, not to sound like I'm plugging my special, but in my special, I talk about, I was shot in Chicago, where I'm from, and at the time, there was a lot going on in Chicago, as there always is, a lot of cop shootings, and...
I think there's an immediate uproar of like, fuck cops.
And I hate that, because I have cops in my family.
And you can't just blanket statement an entire thing.
Just like you can't blanket an entire race of people, sex class of people, and say, you're all the same.
That's the same thing as saying, like, every cop is a bad person.
Are you out of your fucking mind?
joe rogan
I couldn't agree.
andrew santino
There's millions of police officers that are great people.
You happen to hear stories about bad humans.
That happens in any industry.
joe rogan
Right.
And honestly, if you look at it statistically, like the number of bad cops versus the number of cops, and then you have to break down the number of interactions cops have with people.
It's stunning all day long.
unidentified
Have you met people?
andrew santino
They're awful.
People are fucking awful.
Can you imagine every day?
joe rogan
They're awful to you, but imagine how awful they are if you are a professional enemy, and they know that you're just a person, just like them.
So you're pulling this guy over, this guy's done a crime, you know he's gonna lie to you, and you're the enemy, and you don't even know this fucking guy.
You don't even know him.
You don't even have a real beef with him.
But his whole life is on the line right now in this altercation.
You never know if he's gonna shoot you.
You never know.
There's so many videos online.
There's one of the most terrifying videos of this cop pulling this guy over.
And the guy was some Vietnam veteran who's a real fucking killer.
And he wound up killing the cop.
And they show him killing the cop on the security camera.
The guy's trying to give this guy all the room in the world.
He's like, sir, please get back in your car.
Sir, please get back in your car.
Sir, put your hands down, sir.
Sir, put the gun down, sir!
And then it gets to the, I mean, he's trying so hard not to be a cunt, and this guy shoots him and kills him.
And you're telling me that other cops haven't seen that video?
andrew santino
Yeah.
joe rogan
You don't think that they're terrified that they're going to be the next guy that's on some fucking YouTube clip that two comics are talking about on a podcast?
unidentified
Right.
joe rogan
Because it could happen.
andrew santino
Easy.
joe rogan
Every time you pull a guy over, your life's on the line.
And the stress of that is ungodly.
And we expect them to manage it like robots.
We expect them to be like no person we've ever met.
unidentified
Right.
joe rogan
Where they just, no problem, no stress.
You're a fucking accountant.
What is the worst shit that can happen to you once you're in the office?
andrew santino
The printer breaks.
joe rogan
Almost nothing is life-threatening.
andrew santino
No.
Microsoft Excel crashed this morning.
Everyone's going crazy in fucking accounting.
unidentified
If you're a beat cop, Jesus Christ.
andrew santino
Well, it's the same way with, you know, I know this has been said, but the way we treat veterans and shit, it's like, you know, I grew up with a kid who was a really close friend of mine that killed himself a couple years ago, was a veteran.
And I think the expectation of the return to normalcy is not only ridiculous and an insane request, but it's just so illogical that that's not approached.
It's like, dude, these people can't come back from any sort of combat and just be pushed back into the real world.
Like, well, you're good, right?
You're good?
Did you turn off the switch when you landed back in the United States?
Yeah, man, it was just a little toggle in my head, and then I'm good now.
I should go get a regular job, I guess.
joe rogan
Yeah, and just the lack of responsibility that we have for taking care of those people.
andrew santino
It's crazy.
joe rogan
The lack of emphasis on psychological recovery, on giving them coping skills.
andrew santino
Mental health, man, that's the biggest issue in the United States.
I say that all the time.
There's so much lack of help for mental health, dude.
You see it so constantly in so many different facets.
Now I think it's coming out more because of the internet, because you see...
You know violent crimes and and and you see where mental health has kind of led our country now There should be a bigger focus on it.
joe rogan
I had a psychiatrist in the podcast yesterday Kelly Brogan who?
She wrote a book called what is it called the mind of your own a mind of your own is never saw that We talked all about these psychiatric drugs, and when they prescribe them, and why they prescribe them, and what are the side effects, and how easily they prescribe them.
unidentified
Right.
joe rogan
And how so many of these same exact symptoms can be cured by exercise and diet, and they don't even advocate that.
unidentified
Right.
joe rogan
And she's talking about how incredible it is.
Her coming from a background of psychiatry, being an MD, going through the whole training thing, writing a book about it, and you realize, oh my god, they're just doping people up.
andrew santino
Yep.
Because it's easy fix, man.
They want short-term solution as fast as you can.
Working out an exercise sounds like such a, it sounds like a marathon.
joe rogan
Yeah.
andrew santino
And they just, they're like, give me the 40-yard dash.
Like, what can we do to get them in the 40-yard dash?
And they're like, here, take this pill, and that changes everything.
joe rogan
Just the disassociative quality of these pills are so dangerous.
And we just hand them out.
Not we, obviously.
You and I aren't involved.
But someone's out there handing them.
andrew santino
Not as far as the audience knows.
We don't do it.
joe rogan
Imagine if you're a guy right now working for a pharmaceutical company, and every day you read the news, you see some fucking mass killing, and you go, please don't let it be on our shit.
Please don't let it be on our shit.
andrew santino
It's like Pfizer every day.
It's like rolling the dice online, hoping it wasn't some guy on one of their drugs.
joe rogan
She was talking about how the numbers of people that commit these mass killings that are on drugs.
They're on psychoactive, some sort of psychopharmaceutical drugs.
She's like, it's crazy.
It's like 100%.
andrew santino
Yeah.
Well, let me give you something.
This is how powerful that world is.
I probably shouldn't say this, but I'm with you, so I don't really give a shit.
But on the only one thing I wasn't allowed to talk about, or not talk about, but specifically say on my Showtime special was about...
Accutane.
I went on Accutane when I was a kid.
Do you know this drug?
joe rogan
Is that a sit drug?
andrew santino
Yeah, it is.
But it's unbelievably unstable, okay?
It's caused a lot of suicide.
People got real fucked up from it.
So it caused a lot of chemical and mental reaction that they didn't anticipate for youthful, you know, kids under 18 with underdeveloped brains.
You just have to sign a form to say, I can die from this medication.
There's a risk of death.
That was a real thing for pimple medication.
But on the special Showtime, lawyers called us and said, I can mention the company, but I can't say the joke.
I said, if you don't know what Accutane was, it was developed in the 80s and the 90s to kill acne and then people.
And they were like, we can't say that.
I was like, why can't I say that?
That's a fact.
And the guys, you know, lawyers were like, they're a massive sponsor.
joe rogan
Jesus Christ.
andrew santino
That was the control.
They were like...
joe rogan
First of all, I thought Showtime didn't have any sponsors.
andrew santino
CBS is their mothership.
joe rogan
It's Viacom, right?
It's also Spike TV, right?
andrew santino
Yeah, that was the only thing that they were like, we just can't say that.
Which I should respectively remove because I was like, I didn't need that piece anyway.
But I was like, that's so weird that they are that meticulous about this one small thing.
Because they wanted to cover up the fact that people...
People used to die from it.
Kids who are the most insecure point of your life, you got shit all over your face, and you just want to fix it with a pill because you want to feel better about your life.
You're already so vulnerable and ugly and weird, and they're willing to risk their life for it, but this company won't recognize that that was a thing.
joe rogan
What what numbers of people died off of it?
andrew santino
I mean there was at one point I remember when I was in high school There was like three kids it made national news because it was like three kids in a row committed suicide It was a consecutive like three young kids boom boom boom that committed suicide and of course You can't just attribute it to one thing.
I'm not saying you can point a finger and say that's what it was But there's enough evidence surrounding things like that that made the company put more legal action behind Release forms for when you take the drug.
Nowadays, I think there's different levels of it you can't give to people under 16 or a certain age because of the strength of the medication.
unidentified
Jesus.
andrew santino
Yeah.
Because all I wanted to do was not be ugly anymore.
joe rogan
So what did it do to you?
andrew santino
You know what's funny, man?
It cleared my skin up and I never had to take it ever again.
I know people that did it two or three times and...
It gave me a lot of joy because I felt fine again.
I had such bad acne.
I say I had such bad acne when I was a kid that it made me not believe in God.
I was like, nothing exists.
I'm alone on this earth and I was I felt like I was the ugliest person to ever walk the planet because you felt so so this thing it fixed me so to speak it made me feel like everything was good again which is so gross but that's how like Shallow we are as kids because you're just like so vulnerable around your peers.
joe rogan
You're like I just want to be I just want to be normal when you're like 16 years old if you have a horrible acne attack It fucks your head up fucks you up you feel so weak Yeah.
He's like, you're so at the mercy of this.
I mean, obviously, oh, poor white cisgendered man worried about zits.
andrew santino
No, you know what?
joe rogan
I understand there's worse problems.
andrew santino
Look at that.
joe rogan
What is this?
This is a list of the side effects of this stuff.
andrew santino
Miscarriages.
joe rogan
Miscarriages, birth defects, increased internal skull pressure, bone mineral density, depression, psychosis, suicide, aggressive or violent behaviors, acute pancreatitis, unknown, in quotes, cardiovascular consequences, deafness, hepatitis, bowel disease, excessive bone growth, night blindness, and sight loss.
andrew santino
You can just lose your vision...
Well then, you know, you lose your vision, you can't see your acne anymore, so I guess that's kind of the caveat.
joe rogan
Look at the list of birth defects.
Scroll back down again, please.
Look at this part where it says the list of birth defects.
No, up a little, up a little.
Up a little.
There you go.
andrew santino
Genetic name infiltration.
joe rogan
Facial and nerve system deformities, mental retardations.
Patients must be on birth control when using it.
unidentified
Yep.
joe rogan
Because you get miscarriages.
Are you out of your fucking mind?
andrew santino
Isn't that crazy?
joe rogan
Patients must be on birth control if you want to use this medication.
You can't get pregnant.
Your baby will come out a mutant.
andrew santino
A Jersey man won $25 million verdict after he alleged that Roche, the acne drug, gave him inflammatory bowel disorder that required the removal of his colon.
unidentified
Oh my God!
andrew santino
They had to rip out his fucking colon.
joe rogan
Oh my God!
Jesus Christ!
You only get $25 million if they take out your colon?
andrew santino
That's it, dude.
You lose your butt, you get $25.
joe rogan
You get one payday from The Rock.
Like one of his big movies.
unidentified
Maybe.
joe rogan
And they take your colon.
andrew santino
He might get more than that.
joe rogan
He might get more than that for like Baywatch.
andrew santino
That's what they write in the memo of the check.
Four colon.
Four colon.
Four anus.
joe rogan
So, um...
I worked at a hamburger place, a place called Newport Creamery when I was in high school, and I graduated from dishwasher to working at the grill.
andrew santino
That's a big deal.
joe rogan
It was a big deal.
But the problem was, working at the grill, you get fucking crazy zits, dude.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
joe rogan
Because there's just grease in your face all day.
Like, literally, you get out of there, your face is covered in grease.
andrew santino
How old were you?
joe rogan
I guess I was 16 when I started working there.
15 or 16, somewhere in there.
andrew santino
My first job was McDonald's.
So, of course, I was really aiding in the shit face of my life.
I was like, let me eat shit food, be around grease all day.
joe rogan
All day.
andrew santino
Oh, all day long.
joe rogan
Those fryolators, like, that shit's in the air, man.
Oh, it's gross.
Like you have a thin film of it on your face when you leave.
It's coated.
Yeah, and my zits got out of control.
And I remember there was this girl, this really cute girl that worked there, and she grabbed my face once.
Like she was just being nice to me.
She goes, you're so cute.
She grabbed my face and all I could think of was, oh my god, she just touched my zits.
I'm so disgusting.
I think about it to this day.
unidentified
It's crazy.
It's crazy.
andrew santino
It sticks with you, dude.
joe rogan
Dude, it was so devastating at the time.
I just like, I'm like, because I was attracted to her.
She's very cute, but I always felt like she was out of my league.
And then all of a sudden, she's touching my face.
I'm like, God damn it, she's touching my zits.
andrew santino
I remember we were going to like a family function of some kind.
And I had obviously just picked at something on my stupid face.
And my little brat sister was like...
You're bleeding.
It's like, out of my face.
I was like, I'm a mutant!
You feel like you're like, blanket me and hide me in the back of the car.
joe rogan
The only thing, what changed it for me was exercise.
andrew santino
Yeah?
joe rogan
Yeah, once I started, um, I started like really heavily working out, it kind of went away.
Towards like 17 and 18. By the time I was 18, it stopped.
But man, before that?
15 and 16, it was bad.
andrew santino
Well, I played sports all through high school.
So that was an issue because it was always sweating and it was making it exacerbate.
It made it worse.
And then in college, all I did was work out and didn't play a lot of active sports.
So by that time, it was all cleared up and I was fine.
But in high school, it was just like, I did everything to make it worse.
Like everything possible.
joe rogan
Everybody would get a sunburn to kill their zits.
Remember that?
You'd kill your zits in the sun.
andrew santino
I would get cancer and get worse skin.
joe rogan
In the summertime, I remember that was like, oh boy, it's going to be sunny out.
This is great.
I can cook off some of these zits.
andrew santino
Get a sun off these zits.
joe rogan
Yeah, man.
I had a buddy of mine growing up.
I mean, I cannot complain, because my buddy had it real bad.
He was one of those guys that was like, his everything, his neck was covered in pockmarks, his face was covered in pockmarks, and the poor kid was like barely hanging on, right?
He's like 15, 16 years old, you know, wasn't like genetically gifted to begin with, and all of a sudden he gets hit with this hailstorm on his face.
I mean, his whole, all of his skin was just fucked, and there's nothing they can do about it once that happens.
andrew santino
No, unless you want to lose your colon.
Unless you want to take a pill.
joe rogan
But it's not even that.
It doesn't smooth your face out.
andrew santino
No.
joe rogan
The only way they can smooth your face out once you have those scars all over the place is they have to fucking sandblast you.
andrew santino
Yeah, surgery.
Yeah, it's crazy.
joe rogan
And it doesn't look good.
andrew santino
Uh-uh.
joe rogan
No.
andrew santino
No, you can tell.
joe rogan
It's fucked.
andrew santino
Yeah, no.
I'm lucky that it worked because I had friends where it didn't work and it was like, oh God, that's just...
joe rogan
So if you were my friend who just got hit with the hailstorm, like, you would think, like, maybe for that guy it'd be worth taking a chance at suicide.
andrew santino
Yeah, why not?
joe rogan
So crazy.
andrew santino
If you're gonna do it, do it cool.
You know, you never know.
joe rogan
You never know, right?
You're just rolling the dice.
You might be one of that one out of a thousand people that goes completely fucking insane once that stuff hits your system.
andrew santino
Goes blind insane.
joe rogan
Shits yourself.
andrew santino
Skull pressure was the craziest thing.
joe rogan
Bone growth, weird bones are gonna start...
Gonna grow horns.
andrew santino
You see Mike's second chin?
You just have another fucking chin start to grow below.
joe rogan
You ever go to this lady, Dr. Pimple Popper, on Instagram?
andrew santino
No.
Does she just pop huge zits?
joe rogan
I'm addicted to this lady's Instagram page.
The point where it almost seems like she's sponsoring this show.
unidentified
Ha ha!
joe rogan
I tell everybody about her.
You go to her page and every day she's cutting open cysts and popping zits.
andrew santino
I can't.
joe rogan
Dude, you can.
She's got millions of...
Look it, she's got 2.4 million.
Okay.
andrew santino
2.4 million humans watch this all the time, constantly.
joe rogan
Dude, I watch it.
But all of her stuff is these giant...
Go to that lower right-hand corner one.
Click on that.
Look at this.
She's just cutting open these cysts, and it's so oddly addictive, man.
She's got this little circular razor blade tool.
It takes a circular chunk of meat out of your neck.
So that she can now push all the puss out.
Oh my god!
Isn't this insane?
Fuck!
Like, people's bodies and these errors, these, like, skin errors that we have, like, how many of those do we have inside of ourselves?
You know, like, when people, you hear about people having cysts and liver cysts and shit like that inside of you like this?
andrew santino
Dude, I have, I have a cyst, uh, when I was in- Jesus.
Ah!
When I was in college, I can't look away.
It's fucking insane.
joe rogan
I know, that's what I'm saying.
andrew santino
I'm in the sunken place, dude.
I can't fucking look away at this shit.
joe rogan
Yeah, it's very interesting.
andrew santino
When I was in college, dude, I thought I had nut cancer.
I thought I had testicle cancer, and I went into a doctor.
This is insane.
I went into a campus doctor, and he feels around in my nuts, and he feels the bump.
Dude, I cried for like two days.
Yeah, I started sucking my cock.
And he was like, I'm gonna get that nut.
I'm gonna get that nut.
joe rogan
There's only one way to get it out.
andrew santino
He said to me, this is no shit.
He goes, it's a buildup of semen.
A fucking doctor said that.
And I was like, really?
He goes, do you have a hot tub?
I was like, there's one in my complex.
joe rogan
Cook your cum.
andrew santino
He goes, go in there and jerk off in the hot tub.
joe rogan
He told you to jerk off in the hot tub.
andrew santino
I swear to God on my fucking life.
joe rogan
At 10.01.
Did he tell you what time?
I don't want you to look up.
andrew santino
He said, well, he said military time, actually.
Yeah, he said.
He said at 2022. Wow.
I want you to come.
joe rogan
There's something extra creepy about you in military time.
If you're talking about a guy jerking off and you're telling him how to do it during military time.
andrew santino
At 2022, I want to watch.
No, dude, this guy said it was a fuck it.
I'm not kidding.
He said it was a buildup of semen.
My dad flew into town because he was concerned because I was like, dude, it freaked me out.
I was like, I have this thing on my nut.
We went to the best doctor we could find.
And the guy was like, I should fucking have this other dude, like, get his medical license removed.
He's like, this buildup of semen is completely incorrect.
This is a cyst on your testicle.
He's like, it's benign, you're fine, but the fact that someone on campus, like a campus doctor told you that, that's a real medical professional.
joe rogan
He was probably high out of his mind.
andrew santino
Baked out of his fucking...
I went to Arizona State, so he was fucking lost, yeah.
It was just a dude they found that morning at the bus stop.
joe rogan
That doesn't even make sense to me.
I have no medical training.
andrew santino
When he said it, I was like, there's no chance.
Send in video.
That's what it was.
He's like, take a video of it.
joe rogan
That's what I want you to do.
benjamin jaffe
I want you to take your nuts and hold them over a lamp so I can see through your nuts and then take as many pictures as you can.
joe rogan
No filter.
andrew santino
I'm going to bring in a couple other boys in here.
Young boys.
Don't use filters.
Have you seen that movie, Tickled?
Have you seen that documentary, Tickled?
joe rogan
I have not, but it keeps getting recommended to me.
I'm going to have to watch it.
andrew santino
It's unreal.
It blows your fucking mind how these guys were tricked into this.
It's as simple as young actors being like...
You gotta just make a living.
Can you let another guy tickle you on the internet for five minutes for $100?
And these young kids were like...
joe rogan
Dude, I've had friends get hit on by guys during casting sessions.
andrew santino
Just straightforward.
If you want to fuck...
joe rogan
Yeah.
I've had friends literally get propositioned.
andrew santino
I've had a few friends get propositioned by some very famous people that are like, you come to so-and-so's house, no one will know, no one will say anything.
But in the public eye, people think they're straight.
joe rogan
That's such a leap, man, when you're a dude and you're straight and you're like, alright, how much money is that really?
That is the crazy leap.
Like, I honestly absolutely firmly believe that prostitution should be legal.
100%.
It doesn't make any sense that you can decide to fuck someone for free, and we all agree that nobody got hurt, but if for some reason there's something wrong with, like, someone paying you to jerk them off...
andrew santino
Yeah, what's the harm?
Do you imagine if fucking Tiger Woods...
If Tiger Woods could have had prostitutes, this would have never gotten exposed?
Do you think if prostitution was legal and it was kind of not a faux pas thing in society, do you think he would have never had this moment of collapse in his career?
joe rogan
I think it would change the way we look at sex if prostitution was legal.
It's so illegal, and it's been illegal for so long, that if someone, male or female, has someone pay them for sex, you're a whore.
andrew santino
Right.
It's a label right away.
joe rogan
But we know for a fact that there's gold diggers.
Like gold diggers are real.
andrew santino
But they're not even hidden.
They're blatant.
joe rogan
Blatant.
andrew santino
Yeah, they just say it.
It's on the internet.
joe rogan
You've seen that.
Have you ever seen that Instagram post where there's these really hot like Instagram models and then it shows a picture in the next box of a bunch of guys that are like in their 60s with giant guts with gray hair on their guts.
It's like those Instagram models in Dubai.
This is who's paying for those trips.
andrew santino
Yeah, of course.
joe rogan
Yeah.
We know those people exist.
We don't care.
It's like, look at her.
She got it.
Good for her.
andrew santino
Like that Dan Bilzerian guy.
You know him?
unidentified
Yeah.
andrew santino
That's his M.O. Well, sort of.
joe rogan
He's a good-looking guy, too.
andrew santino
Yeah, but these women that are around, he knows what they're around for, and they know what they're around for.
It's a fucking mutual deal.
It's a deal.
joe rogan
I think the best example of it was J. Howard Marshall and Anna Nicole Smith.
andrew santino
Totally.
joe rogan
And Anna Nicole Smith married that 90-year-old dude who was in a wheelchair.
And she was just giant titties and a big ass and just out there.
andrew santino
It was brilliant.
joe rogan
It was amazing.
It was amazing because it was so blatant.
I had a whole bit about it in my act.
There it is, right there.
andrew santino
She set the tone.
That's setting the fucking tone.
joe rogan
That's the gold standard of gold diggers.
andrew santino
Right.
I mean, come on.
joe rogan
He's marrying her there.
How is that not prostitution?
That's one of the funniest things anybody's ever done.
andrew santino
Wait, go back to that photo.
Zoom in on his face.
Look at how unhappy he looks.
It's remarkable.
This guy's so fucking old he can't formulate a smile when he's marrying a woman a quarter his age.
joe rogan
And I think at the time she was a lesbian.
So she was just eating pussy and hanging out with him.
And she had to do like marital relations with him.
And when she would do the marital relations with him, you know, she was like, time to go to work.
andrew santino
What has she got to do?
He can't fuck.
What has she got to do?
joe rogan
Just tug him?
andrew santino
Just suck him.
Exclusive.
joe rogan
Did they have Viagra back then?
andrew santino
No, I don't think so.
joe rogan
I think they did.
I think we came up with the timeline for Viagra.
Maybe they came up with it for him.
It was all his research money.
andrew santino
There's gotta be a way!
unidentified
I'm that close to marrying Anna Nicole Smith, you piece of shit!
Make something keep my dick hard for an hour and a half.
joe rogan
I've got ten billion dollars and not a lot of time.
I don't want you to listen to me, you son of a bitch.
andrew santino
God, that's so crazy.
joe rogan
I love it.
Good for him.
unidentified
Fuck, yeah.
andrew santino
Do you like my body?
joe rogan
Yeah.
Go out with a bang.
Or at least attempt.
An attempt at a bang.
andrew santino
Is he dead?
joe rogan
Yeah, he's dead as fuck.
andrew santino
What did he die of?
Happiness?
joe rogan
Died of being old.
andrew santino
Joy?
He died of joy?
The world blessed him in his final years?
joe rogan
But that's legal.
It's totally legal.
andrew santino
Totally.
joe rogan
To marry someone and have sex with them for money.
As long as you marry them and then get to steal all their money.
It's like a small transaction.
Like if he could just pay her, like for J. Howard Marshall, a multi-billionaire type character, I bet a hundred grand is not out of the question.
andrew santino
It's nothing.
unidentified
One evening for a hundred grand seems like a worthy proposition.
andrew santino
Someone told me this recently.
We were talking about this.
This is amazing.
The difference between a million and a billion.
Because I think in America, we just kind of like, we don't even think about it.
You know, you just hear it and you're like, billionaire.
Oh, he must be a billionaire.
You know, I'm sure someone, Joe Rogan, dude, he's got to be a fucking billionaire, dude.
Here's the difference that people don't realize.
A million seconds is how many days?
Would you guess?
A million seconds.
joe rogan
I've done this before and I always forget it.
andrew santino
Do you know?
A million seconds.
joe rogan
30 days.
andrew santino
That's a great guess.
Is it?
It's 11 days.
That's good.
Most people are fucking way off.
So it's 11 days.
joe rogan
I just took a chance.
andrew santino
Yeah, that's good.
A million seconds is 11 days.
How many days is a billion seconds?
joe rogan
How many?
andrew santino
31 years.
unidentified
Jesus.
andrew santino
11 days to 31 fucking years.
joe rogan
Jesus.
andrew santino
Look at that.
joe rogan
A trillion seconds is 31,000 years.
andrew santino
When someone tries to fucking say they understand what a billion is, you're like, you have no fucking idea what a billion is.
A billion is so beyond far away.
joe rogan
Now, as far as it's been explained to me, and I've never researched this at all, so I wonder if you could find this out.
Someone said to me that when you look at the richest men in the world, like they look at Warren Buffet and Bill Gates and all those billionaire characters, that they're not really the richest men in the world.
That the real richest men in the world are these Saudi guys and a lot of these oil guys, but they're monarchs and they don't have to disclose their wealth.
andrew santino
They never do.
joe rogan
It's not like they're the CEO of a corporation.
They're head of a royal family.
andrew santino
They owe no government any indication of what their earnings are.
joe rogan
So this dude who knows one of those cats was telling me that he's probably a trillionaire.
andrew santino
Fuck me.
joe rogan
And I was like, what?
I go, that's real?
And he goes, yeah, I didn't know there was trillionaires.
He goes, it's very likely this guy might have access to a trillion dollars.
andrew santino
Because the only thing that we know is our famous billionaires.
We're infatuated with our billionaires that we kind of have as these...
Social icons, you know, like the Zuckerbergs and these guys that are like they did something that we can recognize these Saudi families that have had that money have had that money for a fucking long time It's not new money.
No, it's old They had they had hundreds of millions 50 years ago, right?
So now it's only accumulated into billions of I mean they own well the what what the That guy that the Chinese billionaire that the What was his name?
He just bought the Basquiat.
joe rogan
Oh, we had...
He's Japanese.
andrew santino
Japanese.
Yeah, that guy.
For $100 million?
joe rogan
We just...
We're talking about that.
Which show was that?
It was Bill Burr.
Yeah, dude.
$110, I think it was.
andrew santino
I mean...
joe rogan
And he owns another one that he got for like $57.
andrew santino
$57 is nothing to him.
That's like...
It's a flick.
joe rogan
Guy's insane.
Who's this cat?
We're at 1.4 trillion.
andrew santino
1.4 trillion fucking dollars.
joe rogan
Oh my god.
andrew santino
See?
joe rogan
Oh my god.
The royal family is worth a staggering 1.4 trillion.
Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, pictured, is the current king.
Dude, that's ballin' on a whole new level, son.
andrew santino
That's just new shit.
joe rogan
1.4 trillion.
Oh my god, who is this guy?
The Rothschilds families.
andrew santino
Oh, the Rothschilds, yeah, for sure.
joe rogan
There's probably a bunch of those little scoundrels running around taking a piece of that pie.
So a billion is a thousand million.
andrew santino
Yep, a thousand million.
joe rogan
To 700 trillion?
The Rothschilds?
Estimated between $1 billion and $700 trillion.
Hey, how about you do a better job?
I could do as good a job of estimating as that.
andrew santino
No shit, that's so far.
joe rogan
Probably a kazillion.
andrew santino
It's like when you ask a kid how much a car is and they're like, $8?
And you're like, yeah, it's like $8.
That's how much cars are.
joe rogan
$100?
unidentified
Yes, exactly.
joe rogan
Well, it is a Mercedes, son.
How the fuck did they have such a terrible gap in their guesstimate?
andrew santino
See, those kind of old families that have been around for that long, you know that they hide money.
When they say X amount of dollars, it's because...
That's what they've been told through so many sources.
I used to know...
You know the guy, this guy George Soros?
Do you know who that is?
The guy who broke the bank in Manhattan?
joe rogan
I know the name because everyone brings it up when they talk about...
Anyone on the right side...
Alex Jones has said that George Soros is making the marijuana stronger.
He's doing it for mind control.
I take it once a year.
I smoke marijuana to test the efficiency.
andrew santino
I like how he's the gauge.
I'm gonna do it for America.
I will smoke.
joe rogan
He says he smokes it once a year.
He said that during his custody trial.
andrew santino
That's it.
Once.
That's it.
joe rogan
Just once a year to test.
andrew santino
He has one day.
joe rogan
Test its potency.
That's George Soros.
andrew santino
George Soros.
He's 86. I partied with his kid one time.
25 billion.
joe rogan
25.2 billion.
andrew santino
I partied with his kid one time at one of these Hollywood things.
And I've never seen someone so...
And I'm not going to say anything negative about him.
I've just never seen that kind of money firsthand.
I've never known a billionaire.
I've never been friends with a billionaire.
And this kid was so lucid.
It was almost as if he's not living now at all.
He's just kind of go...
He's so floating.
It's like whatever happens happens.
I said, where are you staying while you're here?
He's like, with these guys, I guess.
I was like, do you have suitcases and shit?
You're in town from New York?
Like, are you not...
He's like, no, I just fucking...
I don't know, I'm going to figure it out, I guess, bounce around a little bit.
It's just like there is no groundedness.
When you're that rich, it's almost like, I don't know, I can do anything all the time, forever.
There's no source of repetitiveness.
joe rogan
Strife, yeah.
Yeah, I don't think it's a good thing for kids.
andrew santino
Oh, it's so bad.
joe rogan
It doesn't seem to work out.
I mean, I would think the only way you would get a kid through that is you've got to...
Take him to sports or something.
You got to get him involved in some adversity.
andrew santino
He's got to lose at something.
joe rogan
Yeah, a lot.
andrew santino
If you lose at shit, you start to understand how human you are when you're like, oh my god, there's so many people better than me at so many fucking things.
joe rogan
Oh, yeah, dude.
andrew santino
Because when you're given everything, you never lose.
You never heard no.
There's no negative in your life.
It's just kind of like, how do you get any sense of fucking, you know, any normalcy or anything grounded in your hands when you're like...
joe rogan
Yeah, we need feedback.
andrew santino
Yeah, you need to know that that's not good and that's okay and that's terrible and that's good.
You need to know where you land on the spectrum in the social world.
That's why so many rich kids are socially so fucking awkward.
Because they never had to...
They never got beat up at school.
They never got made fun of.
It was all like, it was all fucking flat.
joe rogan
Flat.
andrew santino
It's all flat.
joe rogan
Yeah.
You can't have all flat.
You don't want to have too many crazy dips.
andrew santino
Yeah, because then you're fucking...
joe rogan
But you definitely don't want flat.
Like, the worst drive ever is not the longest drive.
The worst drive ever is like when you're driving in those roads that people always stop to take album cover pictures in.
andrew santino
Yeah.
joe rogan
Where you just see just flat and nothing there forever.
Just nothing.
Over the horizon.
Just flat.
Like if you go the same distance but you're driving on like the Pacific Coast Highway and you're headed up to San Francisco, it's fucking beautiful.
andrew santino
Beautiful, man.
joe rogan
You barely recognize.
First of all, you say, the cliff's right there!
The fucking cliff!
The cliff's right there!
andrew santino
What if I just fucking...
joe rogan
You could just do that, and people do do that for sure.
They just go off that cliff.
And you just want to make sure the guy on the other side is not thinking, I'm just going to head on this guy, and we're both going to go off this cliff.
andrew santino
Do this shit together.
Let's do this shit.
joe rogan
I'm going to drag somebody with me.
Fuck him.
The last moments of your life, flying off a cliff because some pilled up asshole decided to just slam into you and knock you off.
andrew santino
Just one afternoon?
joe rogan
It can happen.
andrew santino
Have you seen those birds that jump off the cliff right after they're born?
Have you seen these?
Dude, get this video.
Yeah.
Yes.
Look up, look up...
Bird jumps off cliff after birth.
So the moment they hatch, the mother and the father go to the bottom of this, like, 500-foot cliff.
And the birds jump.
unidentified
Jesus.
andrew santino
And they hit rocks all the way down.
And whoever survives, survives with the parents.
joe rogan
Oh, my God.
andrew santino
Dude, it's fucking amazing.
I just saw it on...
I think it's on...
This looks like it was on Planet Earth.
Planet Earth.
joe rogan
So I can't really show this.
unidentified
I can watch it.
So people...
jamie vernon
I'll link the video or something.
joe rogan
What is the video called?
So people can...
jamie vernon
Chicks jump off cliff.
andrew santino
Chicks jump off cliff.
Which is another one that they do here in LA sometimes in Hollywood.
joe rogan
I think that's different.
andrew santino
Look at this.
joe rogan
Wow, this is insane.
They don't even have wings yet.
andrew santino
Nope.
Nothing.
Nothing.
Just fucking bold.
joe rogan
Oh my god, this is insane.
This is insane.
So this poor little thing is...
It's kind of like a flying squirrel looking situation.
This is insane.
andrew santino
Dude, the first time I watched this I was so baked, I was like, is this a loop?
Because it looks like it's never gonna end.
joe rogan
It's so far.
andrew santino
I think he says it 500 or 600 feet or something like that.
joe rogan
It's so insane that this is how life gets born.
Oh my god!
And he hits the rocks, and you gotta assume he's dead.
andrew santino
Nope.
joe rogan
Oh my god, he's gonna hit more rocks!
Oh, Jesus Christ!
andrew santino
So many fucking rocks!
joe rogan
Look at this thing!
It's flipping head over heels.
It hits more rocks.
Oh, it hit a little grass there.
Caught a break.
andrew santino
Caught a break!
joe rogan
Caught a break!
That's a good break.
Look at this thing.
It's going down the side of the cliff, head over heels, head first, asshole, head to a rock.
andrew santino
For a second...
joe rogan
Asshole to a rock.
andrew santino
We got a minute.
We got a break.
Nope.
unidentified
Never mind.
joe rogan
Got a little bit of a break.
andrew santino
Forget about it.
unidentified
Right back down.
joe rogan
More bouncing.
Boom.
Head for...
Oh, there's your face.
There's your dick hole.
Here's a rock up your asshole.
Here's one on the side of your face.
Here's one to your eyes.
Here's one to your nose.
Oh, another hundred feet to go.
andrew santino
There's mom and dad.
joe rogan
And mom's like, is this motherfucker gonna make it?
Look, there's another one behind it.
No.
Look at this.
Boom.
How's he doing?
Fucking insane!
andrew santino
They stop and wait to see which ones live.
joe rogan
Jesus Christ!
Nature is so harsh!
andrew santino
I knew you would love this because I thought about you the first time I saw this and I was like, this is so fucking proof about surviving, dude.
It's so survival.
This is the most basic.
You have to leap and almost die the moment you enter the world.
joe rogan
That chick is tough as fuck.
andrew santino
Survival, dude.
joe rogan
That chick could go five rounds of Giorgio Petrosian and just shake it off.
andrew santino
Georgiou versus a chick.
Yeah, there's one that didn't make it.
joe rogan
I'm sure there's a ton of dead ones, man.
There's blood all over the rocks.
Oh, Jesus fucking Christ.
Yeah, you could actually hit one of those corners and it could gut you.
You know, for sure.
andrew santino
Yep.
joe rogan
I mean, this is all shale.
That stuff is so dangerous.
Oh, that one's dying.
Oh, Jamie, don't show us this.
This is so sad.
I had a bird come in my house the other day, and this poor little fucker, he flew right into the window.
Dunk!
andrew santino
Sorry, it makes me laugh every time I see that.
joe rogan
Thought he was gonna go out, and then woke up, and then flew into another window.
Full speed.
Dunk.
Out cold.
So, I thought he was probably dead.
And my daughters were going, oh no, is he gonna die?
I go, we don't know, honey.
Let's put him outside, and hopefully he'll wake up.
Fucker woke up.
unidentified
He did.
joe rogan
Yeah, he woke up, like, five minutes later, like, shook it off and flew away.
Like, imagine if that was a person.
That thing was going, like, 30 miles an hour right into a window.
unidentified
Donk!
joe rogan
A little tiny bird, too.
Just, he got KO'd.
But then got up and flew away.
andrew santino
Came back for another round.
joe rogan
Yeah.
I came in the house though.
It was weird.
andrew santino
I was at a buddy's house at this party and a fucking hummingbird flew right into the house.
Like right through the double doors.
joe rogan
Oh Jesus.
andrew santino
And was stuck in the skylights.
And it was panicking because it didn't know what to do.
Like it wasn't willing to come down.
unidentified
Oh.
andrew santino
So, I was just fucked up enough that I was like, I have this idea, give me a fucking huge pan, the biggest pan from the kitchen, and pour sugar and water in it, heat up the sugar a little bit, and I put the pan up to it, I got on a ladder, put it up, it started getting in there to drink the sugar water, and I slowly took it down and walked it outside.
joe rogan
That's some wizard shit.
andrew santino
I was wizardry, dude.
That's very clever.
Magic hands.
joe rogan
That's very smart.
You ever seen them in slow-mo, man?
They're so bizarre.
Their wings are moving so fast.
andrew santino
It's unbelievable.
joe rogan
It's insane.
andrew santino
It's beautiful to watch, man.
joe rogan
Oh, man.
I was in Costa Rica, and we went to this place that had some sort of sanctuary for them.
andrew santino
The Hummingbird Sanctuary.
joe rogan
Yeah.
Do you know what it is?
Did you see it?
andrew santino
I went down to Costa Rica just last year.
joe rogan
So they have these feeders, so you just hang out by them and take slow-mo on your iPhone, and you see the thing floating around your head?
There it is, right there.
I mean, they could just hover.
It's so crazy.
How did they evolve like this?
It's so strange.
No other bird makes that weird sound when it goes by you.
It's like they have little wings, but they move stupid fast.
andrew santino
How many per minute?
Does it say how many...
I know their heartbeat is insane.
Their heartbeat is like a hundred times ours or something like that.
joe rogan
They're so cute.
They don't seem like killers at all.
unidentified
No.
joe rogan
Right?
They're just out there eating pollen and shit, right?
andrew santino
Look at that.
Look at that.
joe rogan
That's incredible.
Do they eat bugs?
Like, what do they eat?
unidentified
They got that little tongue that's sticking out there.
joe rogan
Right, but isn't that like going for like nectar and stuff?
andrew santino
That's for nectar, yeah.
joe rogan
This is gonna have some facts for us.
Hummingbird lay one to three eggs several times per year.
Eggs are about the size of a jelly bean.
Huh.
That's not good facts.
I want to know what they eat.
andrew santino
Yeah, I want to know that kind of shit.
joe rogan
Look at that nose!
They have the craziest beaks, too.
Like, if that was a giant bird, you'd be like, what the fuck?
andrew santino
That's pretty sick.
Did you see what that just said?
Yeah, they have an extra set of eyelids and they can see ultraviolet.
unidentified
Whoa.
andrew santino
That's fucking amazing.
unidentified
Whoa.
joe rogan
That beak is crazy.
That beak's like a narwhal horn.
It's so tiny we don't notice how crazy long their beaks are.
andrew santino
Dude, that's the other thing.
There's no consistency of color between all the birds.
Do you know what I mean?
Usually most species have a similar color pattern.
joe rogan
Is there a bunch of different kinds of hummingbirds?
Oh, they do?
andrew santino
Insects, pollen, sap.
joe rogan
Tree sap.
Pollen and insects.
So they're omnivores.
Interesting, man.
Birds are a trip, dude.
They are some of the most unique animals on our planet.
I've really ignored them.
I really ignored birds until I saw my first eagle in person in the wild.
andrew santino
It's crazy, right?
joe rogan
Yeah, I was with Ari.
We were in Alaska.
We were in Anchorage.
We were going fishing.
We were salmon fishing.
We were like, dude, that's a fucking wild eagle.
And this eagle was just standing there on this branch just looking down on us.
I was like, what?
You start realizing what they really are.
Like, oh, that's like a murdering dinosaur bird that flies around and snatches fish out of the water.
andrew santino
It was waiting for fish.
Yeah, just chilling.
joe rogan
We were catching these fish, dude.
They were like this big.
This salmon.
These powerful fish.
And this eagle comes down and grabs it out of the water with his talons.
And flies with it.
andrew santino
It's fucking awesome.
unidentified
Dude.
joe rogan
I started tripping out on birds after that.
Just being near them in the wild and seeing them move around.
It just seems so different than seeing them in the zoo.
andrew santino
They're so fucking hardcore.
Their wingspans are so amazing to me when they open up how fucking huge they are.
Whenever you see one in person, you're like, that is way bigger than I thought.
joe rogan
It's a view back to a much more ancient style of living thing.
You know, I mean, it's a view back to dinosaurs.
And they're starting to realize more and more dinosaurs' fossils are being found with feathers.
andrew santino
How many fucking birds is that?
Have you ever seen a moose in real life?
joe rogan
Oh yeah, I've shot a moose.
That's a moose right there.
andrew santino
Whenever I go up to Canada, like, have you ever been to Banff?
You know where that is in Alberta?
joe rogan
Yeah, I know where that is.
andrew santino
Dude, that has the biggest moose I've ever seen in my...
Like, I've seen moose when I was a kid, but nothing like up in northern Canada.
Dude, I mean, the size of a fucking school bus.
I mean, it's so big.
I think people think...
They think they know what a moose is because you're like, yeah, I think it's like a cow or something.
You know what I mean?
Dude, they're massive, massive animals.
joe rogan
They're so big.
andrew santino
Shocking.
It was twice the size of our car.
I was like, get the fuck out of here.
That's a moose?
joe rogan
Yeah.
They're so big, it's insane.
And if you run into them, like you hit them with your car, you're fucked.
andrew santino
Yeah, you're fucked.
They'll wreck you.
That was like growing up in the Midwest, dude.
I'd hear people getting bad car accidents with deer all the time.
These guys in Canada, there is no stories about it.
You die.
You hit a fucking...
It's not like, dude, you hear about Mike, he fucking hit a deer.
It's like, you hit a moose, it's like Mike's car exploded.
Mike is dead.
joe rogan
A deer will fuck you up, though.
There's a buddy of mine who lives in Oregon.
A guy on the highway in his neighborhood hit a deer.
The deer flipped over his car and hit the car behind him.
unidentified
Fuck.
joe rogan
And went through the windshield and killed the guy.
unidentified
Really?
andrew santino
Really?
The first guy was fine, huh?
joe rogan
The first guy was fine.
The deer flipped over his car.
As he hit it, it went flying through the air, and then it landed right on into this guy's car and killed him.
andrew santino
It was the craziest shit I ever saw.
I was like eight years old with my dad driving on the fucking Dan Ryan in Chicago.
And a car, the middle of the lane was, the fast lane was under construction.
A car went over the fucking median onto oncoming traffic and hit another car.
Oh, Jesus.
Like a hundred yards in front of us.
I watched it fucking happen.
It was the craziest shit I've ever seen in my life.
And it was like the afternoon.
I don't know if he was fucked up or what.
Right over the median, right into another car.
joe rogan
Gee, and you saw the whole thing?
andrew santino
I watched it happen.
I mean, it felt so fake when I was a kid.
I remember thinking, I remember getting older and asking my dad if it happened.
Because I thought, you know, in your childhood sometimes you're like, did I see that in a fucking thing and that wasn't real?
You know, and you formulate these different stories in your brain as a kid because, you know, that line of what's real and fake when you're so young.
But dude, I can't forget that happening.
It was crazy.
joe rogan
That is crazy.
andrew santino
Perfectly hit another car.
It was almost as if, like, magnetic.
Fucking head right head on.
unidentified
Wow.
andrew santino
Yeah, it was wild.
joe rogan
I think those Fast and the Furious movies have fucked people up when it comes to like what you can and can't do in a car.
andrew santino
Yeah, do they jump a car from like a building and shit to another building and live?
It's fucking insane.
joe rogan
I mean, there's a lot of dumb kids out there that watch those movies.
They gotta be like, yo man, I gotta give that a shot.
There has to be someone who thinks that that's what's going to happen.
When they get behind the wheel, bro, I'm going to be the best ever.
I never even drove yet, but once I drive, I'm going to be the best ever.
andrew santino
Just fucking over, dawg.
joe rogan
I watch that movie all the time.
People just want to be cool.
They want to be able to downship, spin that wheel.
andrew santino
Do you ever watch those fail videos online of people showing off, like showboating in nice cars?
That's one of my favorite things.
unidentified
Crashing.
andrew santino
Yeah, they're always like, some guy's like, spin the wheels, dude!
Some guy in like a fucking GTR is like, just right into the fucking wall next to him, just spin out and crash right away.
It's just, dude, it's great.
I love to see that shit.
I love to see people showing off and then right away they're fucked.
I love that shit.
Nothing funnier.
joe rogan
There's so many videos of that now, too.
It's almost like if you have a camera and you're pointing it at the guy, you're kind of hexing him because he's saying, man, I hope I don't fuck this up because it's going to be on every internet site, everyone's Twitter account, Instagram page.
It's like you're kind of like putting too much pressure on him.
andrew santino
Your accident is now shareable.
joe rogan
Yeah.
andrew santino
Your mistakes are now everyone's joy.
That's the world we're in now.
Your fuck-ups could be somebody's great Monday.
joe rogan
Welcome to the new world.
andrew santino
It's brilliant.
joe rogan
It's a crazy new world, man.
Didn't exist.
It was never like this.
andrew santino
Yeah, you didn't have to worry about someone seeing your fuck up.
joe rogan
How old are you?
33. I'm 49. When I was a kid, we didn't even have, like, when I was a boy.
andrew santino
Back in the day.
joe rogan
No, you heard stories.
Somebody fucked up somewhere over there.
This guy did that, you know?
andrew santino
That's all there was.
joe rogan
One guy in our town killed someone in a car.
Dragged this guy around like he got the guy stuck under his car and he just kept driving fuck Did he not know he was under there or he was like fuck it.
unidentified
I don't care.
I'm going to prison They don't know they don't know if he was drunk.
joe rogan
I don't I don't know I don't know when he got caught either But it was a story it was in the news and I remember it was in like I was delivering newspapers at the time so I saw it like in the newspapers that I was delivering it's so weird to have known someone and And then know that they ran over somebody in a car and then dragged them around.
Yeah, I didn't know him well, but he was like one of those guys in the town.
I think he was a little older than me, but he was one of those guys that was always kind of hanging out with a nice car.
He always had like a nice Trans Am.
andrew santino
I was just going to say, an IROC-Z was about the...
joe rogan
Yeah, his family had money.
And he ran over someone and dragged him around.
There's always this thing about people whose families had money, like the rich kids.
andrew santino
Get away with it.
joe rogan
Well, it was a weird thing, too.
It's like we knew that they were like a little off.
Like you always knew that the rich kids were never like a complete human.
andrew santino
Right.
joe rogan
There was just a few of them that were just a little...
Like, if you knew they were rich...
There's probably a lot of kids that we didn't know they were rich, and they were rich, but they weren't fucked up, so it didn't come through.
But the ones that wanted everybody to know they were rich, they always had designer clothes on, and they always had the nicest shit, and they always had brand new cars.
Like, when they were 17, this guy had a brand new car.
andrew santino
It's almost like they're a little bit animatronic.
Like, there's something robotic about really rich kids, where it's just kind of like super...
Super high-functioning in a very, like, disconnected level because they're so unaware of what it's like to not have.
joe rogan
Yeah.
Well, I'm watching these shows with my kid.
We went to see this Diary of a Wimpy Kid.
andrew santino
Yeah, yeah.
joe rogan
It's actually a funny movie, man.
There's some funny shit in there.
I laughed hard a couple times in that movie.
andrew santino
Yeah?
joe rogan
I just went because they wanted to go.
But in this movie, one of the things that really strikes home is everyone is struggling.
This fucking kid is...
Everything is falling apart, always, constantly.
And because of that, he's kind of got a fun personality.
He gets checked all the time.
As soon as he gets cocky, he gets crushed again.
It just keeps happening.
And there's a whole series of these movies.
But that's not happening to the rich kid that I grew up with.
andrew santino
No, fuck no.
joe rogan
That's...
Why, probably when he hit the guy in his car and had the guy stuck under his car, he didn't know what the fuck to do.
andrew santino
Yeah, he's fucked.
joe rogan
I mean, he just thought he was gonna get away with whatever.
andrew santino
He figured...
I just gotta get away from the cops.
I gotta get away.
joe rogan
I'll just clean the car.
andrew santino
There was a kid I went to high school with that had a hit-and-run.
And he got away with it.
I mean, obviously, I didn't know it was this kid I went to high school with, but he got away with it for a long fucking time.
It was such a public story that a famous NASCAR driver at the time painted her name on his car, like, find so-and-so's killer, because it was such a fucking big deal.
unidentified
Whew.
andrew santino
This girl that was hit and run and he came out years later.
This is crazy.
He was pilled the pilled the fuck up and he showed up to her sister's house and admitted the whole thing to her sister and was saying he was gonna like run away kill himself whatever and she cleverly she spoke Polish she told her husband to fucking call the cops and was trying to calm this kid down in the meanwhile telling him to call the cops and they finally caught this kid before he could fucking off himself or something but he killed this girl on a hit and run and thought he and got for what it's worth got away with it for a long time man Thank you.
joe rogan
But he was probably not a bad person.
He just was weak at the time and it haunted him.
andrew santino
Yeah, it had to come out.
joe rogan
Fuck, man.
andrew santino
Crazy, right?
joe rogan
That's a mistake that if you make, God damn it.
andrew santino
Does shit like that happen from your area of where you grew up?
Do you read stuff now, years later, that you hear about fucked up shit from back then that has gotten exposed now?
unidentified
No.
andrew santino
Like these teachers I knew ran a fucking prostitution ring.
unidentified
What?
joe rogan
Teachers did?
andrew santino
It came out in the paper.
joe rogan
The teachers did.
andrew santino
The teachers, dude.
The old shop teacher, his daughter...
joe rogan
The shop teacher is a fucking pimp.
The shop teacher is a pimp.
andrew santino
The shop teacher was pimpin' dude.
unidentified
That's insane.
joe rogan
Who are the girls?
The girls were high school students?
andrew santino
No, not high school students.
They were fucking just like girls in the community.
Probably girls that went to high school and graduated, but older girls that they were pimping out.
From the school.
They were pimping from school.
joe rogan
What school was this?
andrew santino
This was out in the suburbs of Chicago.
joe rogan
Wow.
Here's the question.
If they did make prostitution legal, they set it up just like you can go get a massage, you can go have sex with somebody, how much would that change the notion of marriage, relationships?
andrew santino
Nobody's getting married.
unidentified
That's it.
andrew santino
It's over.
It's over.
joe rogan
It's only a law that's keeping what percentage of people married.
andrew santino
I mean, you said it before when we touched on this prior.
The reason that we make it okay is because the church gets involved, right?
So if the church says it's okay...
It's like my dad was a drug addict growing up.
My dad was in and out of prison my whole life when I was a kid.
And my mother divorced my father when I was one.
So I don't really have any recollection of any of that.
So I don't have that damage that people are like, my dad got divorced when we were 16. I didn't see it.
I didn't know it.
But my mom came from such a hardcore Irish Catholic world that my family...
The older generation didn't approve and was like, you can't divorce this man.
That's against our religion.
And my mom was like, he's a fucking terrible person to me.
I have to get out of this relationship.
And now she was just, they were both young.
You know, she just wanted to make the right move for a baby.
But the church has so much influence on certain parts of society that my grandmother was like...
Almost disowning.
But that's such a reality for that generation that it was like, how could you...
What do you mean divorce?
I mean, that's like, you're going to hell.
Like, that's it.
You're done.
So my mom had that kind of fuck up in her brain of like, that That's how much influence the church has over marriage and coupling and it's crazy.
It's fucking crazy.
joe rogan
It's unbelievably ridiculous that people succumb to that.
It's so crazy.
andrew santino
It's controlling, man.
joe rogan
Well, the Catholic Church in particular is one of the weirdest ones ever.
andrew santino
Oh, it's so strange.
joe rogan
It's just the insanely high percentage of people that are involved in child abuse.
andrew santino
Yeah.
joe rogan
I mean, what other religion has that connected to it like that?
andrew santino
There's none.
Muslim is the biggest in the world, right?
joe rogan
The biggest religion?
andrew santino
In the world, right?
joe rogan
I think it is.
If it's not, Christianity is.
andrew santino
Yeah, they're probably toe-to-toe.
Either way, you don't hear about that.
So are they covering up shit?
joe rogan
It's not the same thing.
The thing about the priests and the priests being forced to be celibate and then spending time with boys, that shit has always gone bad.
andrew santino
Yeah.
joe rogan
Forcing guys to be celibate, bad.
Forcing guys to hang out with boys, bad.
Awful.
Weird shit's gonna happen if there's no parents in the room.
andrew santino
Dude, as soon as you deprive someone of something, they are going to have it.
They want it immediately.
joe rogan
And then you attach to it the ultimate power that comes from being a representative of God.
andrew santino
Yeah.
joe rogan
Like, you're wearing a priest's outfit to a little kid.
Like, that kid will suck your dick.
He'll do anything you say.
He doesn't know what's going on.
He's a baby.
Ooh, crazy.
It's so dark, dude.
andrew santino
Deep, dark mind control.
joe rogan
And when you find out how many of them...
andrew santino
Yeah, that's the thing.
It's not just one.
It's not just ten.
The more you hear, the more you're like, dude, this is not a fucking accident.
These aren't coincidences.
This isn't like a conspiracy.
This is a fact that this is rampant, and it's crazy.
joe rogan
It's crazy because it's still happening.
andrew santino
No, they don't talk about it.
Yeah, it's like it's, you know...
joe rogan
Well, how about that Benedict guy, the Pope that had to resign?
They found out that he had been involved in the moving of these child molesters from one place to another place.
andrew santino
Keeping them clean.
joe rogan
They would close the story down, shut everybody up, and then move that guy to another place.
And one of the guys went on to molest 100 deaf kids.
andrew santino
What?
joe rogan
Yeah.
He molested 100 deaf kids.
And he was put into that position by this guy who wound up being the Pope.
andrew santino
A hundred deaf kids.
joe rogan
A hundred deaf kids.
Yeah, it was...
It's horrible, man.
andrew santino
It's fucking awful.
joe rogan
There's so much involved in it.
There's so many people that covered shit up.
There's so many different versions of these stories.
So many stories.
Thousands and thousands of stories of people molested by priests.
Yeah.
Crazy.
And if you bring it up, immediately you get people defending it.
No, no, no.
Look, you're exaggerating.
I've said this before.
Imagine if NASCAR drivers fucked that many kids.
andrew santino
It'd be shut down.
Shut the fuck down.
joe rogan
But because it's the church, we're like, well, let's, you know, but there's good things, too.
They're working for God.
andrew santino
Okay.
joe rogan
It's crazy that any organization can have a history of fucking kids.
andrew santino
We're working for God.
Is God's side job fucking children?
Because it's not, whatever it is, it's not working.
joe rogan
But we forgive them.
It's not all bad.
We don't want to break the whole thing up.
Definitely don't want to do that.
andrew santino
No, stealing is not bad.
Fucking a kid is the same as, like, some minor bullshit infraction in society.
joe rogan
Thousands and thousands of cases, maybe even millions of cases.
And then still, you have these world leaders, like Trump met with the Pope, the Pope was all bummed out.
Trump should be like, I'm bummed out to be next to you, motherfucker.
What about what you represent?
You mad at me because I'm pulling out of the climbing accord?
What about all the kid fucking, bro?
Did you bring up the kid fucking?
andrew santino
He's been fucking kids.
joe rogan
Oh, that's right.
You do a good Trump.
Have you seen the pictures of Trump with the Pope?
unidentified
Yeah, dude.
joe rogan
The Pope's totally dissing Trump.
andrew santino
The Pope is real bummed.
joe rogan
The Pope should relax.
He should slow his fucking roll.
You're part of a giant kid fucking ring.
andrew santino
Yeah, who do you think you are?
joe rogan
Yeah, you're getting cocky because the billionaire guy who tricked America into voting for him is uncomfortable.
andrew santino
Do you know what the thing that bothers me the most is?
The church is all about fucking the community and the people.
They don't pay taxes on all this great real estate they own.
Tons of it.
How come they can't house homeless people or sick people in those churches all day long while they're there?
That's free property.
joe rogan
Yeah.
andrew santino
I don't understand.
There it is.
joe rogan
Yeah, fucking pissed.
Trump's like, my hair looks good.
It's a good hair day.
andrew santino
It's a good hair day.
Pope, you like my hair.
joe rogan
Touch it, it's real.
unidentified
I swear.
andrew santino
I got it done.
The guy that I used went to Tony and Guy, the hairstylist school.
joe rogan
The color of his hair is like the color of every retired Florida golfer in his 70s.
andrew santino
It's fucking so gross.
joe rogan
He's got this weird blonde-gray thing going on.
It's like he moves it around a little.
Like, some days it's like a darker brown, some days it's like a blonde.
andrew santino
Blonde-gray.
It's just like sand.
joe rogan
He's getting it worked on, is what I'm saying.
Like, this is not the color of the hair.
You do one of two things.
Let me be clear about this.
Either you work on your hair, or you don't work on your hair.
Okay?
So either you dye your fucking hair, or you don't dye your hair.
It's one of those two things.
unidentified
How fucking weird.
joe rogan
And when you dye your hair, be consistent.
You can't go gray and then be blonde again and then be dark haired.
It's too confusing to me.
I need to know what kind of a person are you.
Like, how much are you working on your hair?
andrew santino
What's your level of hair care?
joe rogan
How much time are you spending putting that together every day?
andrew santino
Did Donald Trump change his hair?
Of course he did.
Fucking obviously.
joe rogan
Of course he did.
Yeah, he's changed his hair color.
He's moving it around.
His hair is probably very gray at this point.
He's in his 70s.
There's nothing wrong with that.
andrew santino
What did you think about all this Kathy Griffin shit?
joe rogan
She's ridiculous.
andrew santino
It's fucking insane.
joe rogan
She needs friends.
andrew santino
Why are you doing that?
joe rogan
It's just, it's 100% an attention ploy.
andrew santino
What a call for attention, man.
What a bullshit.
joe rogan
It's being edgy.
She thought she was being edgy.
And she probably was talking with the wrong people and got the wrong idea in her head and went with it and had no one like you around to go, what the fuck are you talking about?
That's the president.
And it's a person.
andrew santino
Yeah, it's a human.
joe rogan
Yeah, you can't pretend you want to murder him ISIS style and hold his head up to the camera like a hostage video.
That's fucking crazy.
andrew santino
I think it's just...
It's one of those things where both parties, both extreme left and extreme right, are at such a heightened version of what's happening that people are becoming blind to, like, logic.
joe rogan
Yes.
You're 100% right.
andrew santino
Logic is like, it's gone.
joe rogan
Yeah.
andrew santino
You would fucking never.
If somebody did that with Obama, holy shit.
joe rogan
Oh my god.
andrew santino
Oh my god.
I mean, the fucking world would stop spinning.
There'd be so much chaos from that.
It would be an insane thing to see that happen.
joe rogan
Well, look, it's just, that's not anyone's solution.
Like, that's not a real, like, holding up that head is not a real solution.
Like, killing anybody like that.
andrew santino
It's a taunt.
joe rogan
Not only that, even if it's, like, the worst person in the world, cutting their head off and holding it up like that is fucking barbaric.
We wouldn't even want that from Osama bin Laden.
If we found the video of Osama bin Laden and one of the SEALs held him down and cut his head off and then held it up to the camera, we'd be fucking extremely, like, what are we doing?
Why didn't you just kill him?
Kill him.
andrew santino
Shoot him again.
joe rogan
We're not torturing them.
We're not trying to terrorize all these other people.
We are not going to become what we're afraid of.
andrew santino
Right.
joe rogan
Right?
I mean, that's what she's doing.
By holding that head up, you are becoming what you are afraid of.
You're becoming a monster.
You're dead-faced.
You're not even emotionally attached to the fact that you're holding up this bloody head.
unidentified
No.
joe rogan
Like, what kind of nonsense, false imagery is this?
Like, you don't really think that.
You don't really feel that.
Is it art?
Like, what is it?
Is it art?
andrew santino
I'm sure that's what the argument from her sake was.
It's an artistic piece with a photographer who's...
joe rogan
But it's about a real person.
It's not Medusa.
It's not like a dragon's head you're holding up.
This is crazy.
andrew santino
If it's your own head, you can make a funny statement.
If you're trying to make a statement, sure.
joe rogan
But it's like, what are you doing?
You're terrorizing that person.
I know everybody thinks that the president has to assume a certain amount of mockery, and I agree that he does.
andrew santino
Sure.
joe rogan
I agree.
Everybody in any position of power like that, you're gonna have people coming at you.
andrew santino
Of course.
joe rogan
But there's a difference between that and advocating a brutal assassination and terror video.
andrew santino
Head removal, no less.
joe rogan
No one's going to be sympathetic towards your idea.
And in fact, you're going to empower the people that are opposed to you.
Because they're going to think, oh, these people are these crazy ideologues who want to literally promote the murder and torture of someone, cutting their head off.
The whole thing is crazy.
But it's just something that people do where they're trying to get attention, or they're trying to entertain, or they're trying to be shocking.
They're just...
andrew santino
It's a continuation of trying to be in people's frontal lobe, you know?
It's like people in Hollywood at some point just want to stay in Hollywood.
And I feel like that's what she does a lot.
I want to do something controversial on the fucking New Year's Eve host that she does or whatever so she can stay in Hollywood.
This great director once told me that imagine if this is an actor and As if we're the sun and the earth and moving around one another.
Just like an actor in a spotlight.
It's as if the spotlight is on the actor at some point.
But when it moves away, if the actor tried to move towards it, is when it becomes sad.
When it's shifted out of your line of sight, when your work and your progress has Shifted as if your time perhaps may be coming to a close as far as it's worth.
When you are continuing to search for it, there's nothing more desperate and more obvious.
He's like, you can always see when someone's hunting for it again.
It looks sad.
It looks...
It looks desperate.
joe rogan
It's also contrary to the very reason people like you in the first place.
Like, people like you because you're doing things they enjoy.
andrew santino
Exactly.
joe rogan
You're doing good work.
You're doing good comedy.
You're making a good movie.
Whatever the fuck you do.
Making a good song.
That's why they like you.
They don't want to like you because you're trying to get attention.
Yeah.
Or that you're trying to get people to just...
I mean, what is that?
What do you get out of holding a head?
Like, what kind of attention?
Do you get like a, yeah!
unidentified
What did she think?
andrew santino
What did she think?
joe rogan
Yeah, you go, girl.
Like, yeah, we're with you.
Fuck him.
Kill him.
Like, there's people that do think like that, and they could have easily been right.
They might be left.
They could have easily been right.
It's a way of thinking.
And you get that way of thinking, and then you program yourself.
You get locked into this predetermined pattern of behavior.
Like, all right-wing people, like, a giant percentage of them, Have like an established series of opinions about certain things that we count on because they're the right, right?
Like abortion, or even it used to be gay marriage was one of them.
There's always a bunch of them that are just...
Climate change is one of them.
Like it's like halfway there, maybe 25% of them hardcore on the right.
Whereas the left, climate change is almost 100% accepted.
Right?
andrew santino
Without question.
It's weird.
joe rogan
Like how do these ideas become right or left ideas?
andrew santino
Yeah, who logged them into the database of which side do they belong on?
joe rogan
It's talking points.
People on Fox News start talking about it.
People agree with it.
They like convenient things.
Ah, it's a cycle.
It comes and goes.
Don't worry about it.
What we need is jobs.
And then they run with that.
And it's this predetermined pattern that people just love to fall into, man.
It's weird.
andrew santino
It's creepy.
There should no longer be separation of just permanent party.
It shouldn't be you're always left and always right.
That's so fucked up.
joe rogan
We're too vulnerable.
I feel it myself.
I feel myself the urge to be a part of groups.
I do it all the time.
andrew santino
We all do.
joe rogan
We all do.
andrew santino
That is nature and habit, right?
Everyone wants to belong to a community.
That's why fraternities exist.
That's why when you join a gym, you start to...
You know the moment you join a gym, you start to see people repetitively that you know, and it starts off with a...
unidentified
Hey, what's up?
andrew santino
That guy you see all the time, and then it's...
Hey, man, I'm...
Oh, yeah, I'm...
And then it becomes a relationship you create because it's communal.
Because, oh, we both do this thing, we both enjoy it.
I see you often, we do this thing.
We create tribes.
We love haciendas.
We like to be a part of our little tribe.
And when it gets infiltrated, you become vulnerable.
You feel like the walls are weakening.
It's almost like when the word gentrification...
Gentrification really just means A tribes area has been compromised, you know, it's like this has been this for so long when white people or people of privilege or money move into anywhere They're trying to overtake that tribe.
That's why there's so much backlash.
That's why people fucking Get so angry about neighborhoods turning over quote-unquote because they're like what can be ours?
joe rogan
That's it's such a fucking delicate thing because you're like You can't stop that you're never gonna stop that Well, not only that, there's a game being played, and you're a part of it because you're paying rent.
andrew santino
Yep.
joe rogan
And there's a game being played, you're a part of it when you're working.
You're getting paid for your time.
Now you have to decide what you're going to do with that time.
And you might feel very stuck in this game that you're at right now, where you're paying this guy for rent, and you're working for that guy, and he's giving you a certain amount of money, and it all kind of evens out at the end, there's nothing left over.
But you're still playing a game.
This guy's playing the game too, but he's been playing it for 35 years, and his game is I buy houses.
unidentified
Right.
joe rogan
And I sell them to white people.
And I'm going to keep playing that fucking game, because this is all legal, and this is why you pay me rent, stupid.
It's a fucking, we know the game.
unidentified
It's a fucking game.
joe rogan
But the game is, I'm 30 years ahead of the game than you.
andrew santino
Right.
joe rogan
And, you know, I'm a 70-year-old guy with a fucking pocket protector filled with pens, and I've got a bunch of apartment buildings all over the place, and I flip those fuckers.
There's a lot of those guys out there.
Like, this gentrification thing, I know it's uncomfortable for people.
They're like, we're losing the old neighborhood.
Like, let's go back to the fucking teepees.
Let's go back to the cave.
We lost the old caves, man.
We're not the same once we moved out of the cave.
It's gonna happen.
andrew santino
Neighborhoods shift.
joe rogan
Things change.
You can't hold them back.
You can't decide, no, we want this neighborhood to stay shitty.
Or we want this neighborhood to be all Puerto Rican.
Well, listen, sometimes it doesn't work that way.
Some people die.
New people move in.
Do you really care if Swedish people move in your neighborhood?
You know, we're losing Chinatown.
What do we do?
Are you going to be okay?
Is it okay if you live here?
There's going to be change.
It's going to come and go.
You can't control it.
You can't control it based on nostalgia.
This has always been East Harlem's finest Slovakia place.
We have to keep it.
Like, no we don't.
No one has to do anything.
andrew santino
I do love East Harlem's famous Slovakia place, I will say.
joe rogan
I don't even know what that is.
It's not even a thing.
I was searching for a word.
That happens when restaurants close and people get furious.
Yeah, someone doesn't have to fucking keep the restaurant open, stupid.
unidentified
Things change.
andrew santino
I was just up in Seattle and these Costa Rican guys I started talking to at the Fremont Brewery were telling me about this great Caribbean food place up the street.
And I said, what makes it so great?
And he's like, you know, it's just a recipe.
Because the guy that used to own it was this great, this Cuban guy.
Just a brilliant chef.
And he got sued for illegal wage garnishing of these illegal employees that couldn't speak English.
So he got sued, so the city shut him the fuck down.
Some other fucking white, rich guy came in, bought the recipes from the guy to help him out with his lawsuit.
Still runs.
joe rogan
Wow.
andrew santino
Just as good.
joe rogan
It can be done if someone does it correctly, I guess.
andrew santino
He bought the recipes.
The mistake, I think, when people buy a bar or buy a place, they think they're buying the place.
Nah, there's more than just the brick and mortar.
There's more to it than that.
So he knew the food success was because of the way he did it.
It's not just a Cuban restaurant or a Caribbean restaurant.
He was like, I want to do it exactly how you did it.
So he paid for him.
To give him those recipes.
joe rogan
Just the recipe?
Did he show him how he was cooking it too?
andrew santino
He paid him for the recipes and I don't know the rest of the details.
But that is to get it back to where it was.
And this dude from Costa Rica was like, still the same.
I fucking love it.
unidentified
Wow.
andrew santino
He was a couple of white guys that are back there now.
He's the same food.
joe rogan
It doesn't mean that I don't appreciate people that live in these neighborhoods that are being forced out.
You're going to have to get a new place to live and you can't afford it.
You can't afford to live in the neighborhood anymore because people are buying it up.
I get it.
I understand that it sucks.
But ultimately...
It's probably good for everybody.
It's definitely good for the neighborhood.
The neighborhood's going to get these nice houses now, and people are going to move in.
It's going to be more value if you did buy a place.
If you did take the risk and bought a place, that place is going to be worth more money now.
I know maybe you couldn't buy a place.
It's hard to buy a place when I get paid.
I get it, but you don't have to do that.
I know you feel like you have to do that, and you can come up with a bunch of excuses, and everybody could argue all day long about white privilege, and you're lucky, and this and that, but the bottom line is, you're not in a cage, alright?
If you're not in a cage, and you're out there doing something, you could figure out a way, maybe it's a month from now, maybe it's six months from now, to transition into something else, figure your way through the maze.
andrew santino
Right.
joe rogan
We don't all start at the same spot in the maze.
andrew santino
Nope.
joe rogan
Agreed.
andrew santino
Couldn't.
joe rogan
But, don't ever complain about your spot in the maze.
Just figure your way through that thing.
andrew santino
Right, you're in the maze.
joe rogan
Yeah, it sucks.
Definitely hard.
Not easy.
Keep moving.
Keep moving.
Don't jam this up with your tears, you fuck.
Keep moving!
unidentified
You don't understand capitalism, and that's why I'm a socialist.
joe rogan
Okay?
Just keep moving, though.
You're just talking too much.
You're not moving enough.
andrew santino
Go do it.
joe rogan
Yeah, there's not enough happening here.
There's complaining about other things happening.
I get it.
unidentified
I get it.
joe rogan
It's not good.
unidentified
The climate change agreement is a terrible thing to leave.
andrew santino
It's a bad thing to leave.
joe rogan
His own daughter told him not to leave.
unidentified
But I never liked croissants, so we gotta get out of Paris.
andrew santino
She did.
joe rogan
His own daughter was like, this is a bad idea.
This guy's crazy.
He's going against science.
andrew santino
He is perfectly out of his fucking mind.
joe rogan
He's going against science.
Like, the scientists are saying, hey, we've gotta reduce emissions.
100%.
We're polluting the air we breathe.
We're ruining the very air that we need to exist on.
andrew santino
Yep.
unidentified
No.
andrew santino
Not true.
joe rogan
Don't agree.
andrew santino
Fake news.
We bought new air.
There's so much air.
Have you ever seen how much air there is?
joe rogan
Maybe he's doing this because he's about to move into position to use one of those gigantic building-sized air filter things.
Maybe he's going to have a Trump air filter and set them up in every city.
You could all go back and buy diesel trucks and no one's going to care anymore.
We're going to clean that air nice.
andrew santino
It's kind of like Idiocracy.
Did you ever see that movie?
So ahead of its time, man.
joe rogan
I never saw that movie.
andrew santino
Dude, it was that kind of thing where the future is like, they don't drink water anymore.
They'd be convinced by this, this like Gatorade type drink where it's like, this is better than water.
And people are like, it's gotta be.
So everyone fucking drinks it.
joe rogan
That makes sense.
andrew santino
They're like, it's better than water.
If you can convince enough people what it is, people will get on board.
Blind faith.
I'm trying to talk about that on stage right now, about blind.
We have so much blind faith.
Like, I went to the gas station to get this thing.
I ate a brownie.
It was like a protein-packed brownie or whatever.
I just trusted that that's all real.
I don't fucking know.
It's probably just a bullshit ass brownie, but it's like packed with protein.
joe rogan
Yeah, if you actually got the real statistics on it.
andrew santino
Yeah, it's probably bullshit.
Yeah, there it is.
joe rogan
It's got what plants craved.
It's got electrolytes.
It was brilliant.
andrew santino
What was the name of the stuff?
What was it called?
Did it say what it was called?
The juice.
It was like, but it looked like Gatorade.
It was like, they were watering their plants with it and shit.
Nothing was alive anymore.
But out of the sink would come this fucking Gatorade type looking drink.
Brondo.
That's right.
Brondo!
joe rogan
The thirst mutilator.
Fuck your thirst!
That's hilarious.
I need to watch that movie.
andrew santino
Click on that picture all the way over.
Down at the left.
That one.
Yeah, look at that.
That's what the world has become.
joe rogan
That makes sense.
andrew santino
You see the size of that Costco?
joe rogan
That's hilarious.
That could happen.
andrew santino
Totally.
joe rogan
That's all totally possible.
andrew santino
Have you been watching this Handmaid's Tale?
joe rogan
No, what is that?
andrew santino
No?
Do you know about this?
joe rogan
What is it?
andrew santino
On Hulu, man.
unidentified
What is it?
andrew santino
There's a book written, I want to say 20 years ago.
Elizabeth Moss is a star of it.
It's essentially about if World War III broke out and we became like an ultimate police state and there was like a sub-government that took over and we went back to essentially biblical times when women who were fertile We're used for the rich as handmaids for making babies.
joe rogan
Whoa.
andrew santino
Dude, it's fucking trippy as shit.
joe rogan
Whoa.
andrew santino
You gotta watch it, bro.
joe rogan
So it's based on modern time?
andrew santino
Yes, it takes place in modern time.
As if World War III broke out.
I don't want to give you too many details, but then we're under a police state.
So these handmaids, these fertile women who are of lower socioeconomic status, they must wear these things and abide by their masters, which are the wealthy one percenters of the world who own these fertile women because their wives are infertile.
So they must repopulate this new community.
Dude, it's fucking right up your alley.
It's insanely good.
But it was a book that was written...
joe rogan
Meanwhile, that's a total possibility.
andrew santino
Well, that's why dude's getting so much love.
In fact, some of the parallels in the show of what's going on in society now and some of the commentary, because this was shot prior to the election, it's so specific.
I mean, that's why people are falling in love with it, because they're like, this is creepily real.
Like, it's almost...
You know, I think with what...
Especially from a...
For what I've heard from women's perspective, you know, like...
Taking...
The fear of women's rights being removed...
As far as things like Planned Parenthood or what have you, the choices of your own fucking body, I think there's so much echoed in this show that it feels creepily real.
Where it's like, you could one day just go, like they do in one of the scenes, without giving anything away.
It's like, all the women are fired today.
joe rogan
Well, you know that Iran of today is nothing like Iran of the 1960s?
andrew santino
No.
joe rogan
Have you ever seen the difference between Iran then and now?
unidentified
No.
joe rogan
They became when, I think when it was...
When the Ayatollah took over, because the Ayatollah was a religious figure, and he took over and changed the country.
I'm terrible with Iranian history, so if you're listening to this and you're upset that I'm getting it wrong.
andrew santino
So many Iranians are fucking pissed.
joe rogan
Essentially, they used to dress like much more free.
andrew santino
Yeah, look at that.
joe rogan
It was like much more westernized.
andrew santino
It was like the 70s.
It looked like the 70s.
Yeah, it looked like 70s in the United States.
joe rogan
I mean, and then shit changed.
And now, if you go there today, I mean, look, the Middle East is the shining example of what is possible in 2017 as far as suppression of women.
andrew santino
Look at how low-cut her shirt is there.
unidentified
Hot!
andrew santino
I mean, you're dead if you'd wear that now.
unidentified
Ooh!
joe rogan
Big ol' titties, too.
Chaka-chaka-chaka.
Yeah.
andrew santino
That'd be it, right?
She'd be fucking slain for that.
joe rogan
Now they have to cover their head.
I mean, they have, like, religious scarf laws.
And, you know, what's really crazy is they're better than, like, Saudi Arabia.
I mean, Saudi Arabia is what you can and can't do today.
I mean, you're essentially, like, a second-class citizen if you're a woman.
andrew santino
Below.
joe rogan
I don't think there's...
Are they allowed to drive now?
Are they changing that?
andrew santino
I don't know.
joe rogan
I know there's some people that are trying to change that.
There's some people that are progressive over there that are trying to change that.
andrew santino
I think they're straight property, man.
They view them as straight numbers.
joe rogan
The idea you have to keep your head covered.
You have to wear those robes and the garb.
And then there's women that are trying to say that that's a source of empowerment.
There's a bunch of crazy people out there.
Just like there was always Uncle Toms during the Civil Rights Movement.
And just like people are just...
There's always going to be black guys for Trump.
There's always contrarians.
andrew santino
And you're like, really?
joe rogan
Yeah, there's always there's gonna be women that say that wearing the, how do you say it?
Hijab?
andrew santino
Hijab, I think.
unidentified
Hijab.
andrew santino
Yeah, hijab.
joe rogan
That's uh, it's empowering for women.
The fuck it is, you have to wear it.
It's a religious symbol of oppression.
andrew santino
How could you, how could you, I understand being born into something and not knowing any other way.
I do understand that.
joe rogan
I get it too.
andrew santino
Right, but at the same time.
joe rogan
Or born into it and being convinced that this is the way that it should be.
andrew santino
Sure, but when you see freedom.
Of the world.
When you see the freedom of the world, that we're all born fucking naked and free to be these things.
I don't know why there isn't a little bit more of a clique that goes, why do these women in other places have more freedom?
Because the goal of any sort of religious fucking constriction is questioning, right?
So if you question it, you're automatically fucked.
But if you question it enough where you research and you look and you find out and you learn, I would assume you would become enchanted with the idea of being free, of just wanting to not have...
Someone fucking tell you where you can walk, what you can do.
joe rogan
That makes sense, but when you connect an ideology with God and with the idea of the divine, that's the ultimate reason to stick around.
At the end of the day, it's clothes.
Clothes are made by people.
If you're telling me that God is saying that you have to wear some kind of clothes and not other kind of clothes, I'm calling bullshit.
andrew santino
Yeah, who's the people?
joe rogan
You're not talking to God.
He's never talked to you and told you to wear that.
This is crazy.
And when you have an ideology where you're trapped into dressing a certain way or wearing certain clothes or wearing a certain emblem or some sort of a symbol, you're trapped by the mind of a human being.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
That is the mind of a human being.
They've created a pattern that they want you to not deviate from whatsoever.
I want you to walk around like this.
We're going to cover this.
And you're gonna wear these and maybe have one of those on your neck and maybe a certain amount of beads that symbolizes you're single or you're not.
Bullshit.
This is by a person.
This is some cult shit.
andrew santino
It's a guy in a room.
joe rogan
100%.
It has nothing to do with God.
You would be serving God more to be free and naked.
God created you if God is real.
andrew santino
But naked.
joe rogan
We didn't make clothes.
God doesn't have any stock in Levi's.
God's not making burkas.
God would like you to be naked, if that's real.
If God just lets you wear whatever the fuck you want, because it's all there for humans to wear.
andrew santino
Right.
joe rogan
Like, if people are making clothes, they're making clothes for people, they should be able to wear whatever the fuck they want.
If I was God, I would say, yeah, that makes sense.
Where would you like?
Stay warm.
andrew santino
Sure.
Don't die, I guess.
joe rogan
Yeah.
andrew santino
God wants you to cover your hair?
joe rogan
Why?
This is nonsense.
This is people talk.
andrew santino
Someone said that.
A person said it.
We believe in it.
joe rogan
Well, the priest must dress like a wizard.
Why?
Why does he have to dress like that?
No one dresses like the Pope anymore.
Why does the Pope dress like the Pope?
Get the fucking suit off!
andrew santino
Someone loved wizardry so much, they were like, we gotta fucking keep that.
We gotta keep somebody in that.
joe rogan
I used to always think that when I was a kid and I'd have to go to church.
I'm like, why does he have to wear that stupid fucking collar?
andrew santino
So, so, so silly to me.
joe rogan
What is that collar?
He has to wear that collar so I know that he's real?
andrew santino
I'm the one.
joe rogan
Oh, he's got the thing on.
He's got the priest collar.
Look at that.
Look at that Pope.
He's got wings, like he's in a fucking video.
An MTV video in the 80s.
What is that?
andrew santino
That one's sponsored by Red Bull.
joe rogan
Is that blowing in the wind?
Is that what it is?
That's the answer, my friend.
andrew santino
That's his wings.
joe rogan
It's blowing in the wind.
andrew santino
It's blowing in the wind.
joe rogan
Catholicism was one of the, and this is what I was raised in, sort of.
andrew santino
Look, there's a wizard hat, Joe, just for you.
Look above.
joe rogan
It's my favorite.
andrew santino
There you go.
joe rogan
That's so funny.
And why is that any more outrageous than that fucking thing that he actually did wear?
andrew santino
It's the same shit, yeah.
joe rogan
That's even more weird.
Look at that, the giant crucifix.
Look at his fucking hat!
Oh my god, they're so silly.
They're the silliest people.
The fact that anybody says, yeah, yeah, yeah, that guy's- keep that picture up there.
unidentified
Don't change that.
andrew santino
Look at how heavy that clothes look.
joe rogan
Just go full screen with that.
What in the fuck are we looking at here?
This guy's got a three foot tall hat on and it's all gold and studded and ornate.
Like, wouldn't you think that God would want you to be humble?
If you're a servant of God, are you really supposed to be covered in gold?
andrew santino
Look at his gold fucking pimp ring.
joe rogan
Like, I represent God with my nugget ring.
Look at that nugget.
Kiss it!
andrew santino
This is a Persian rug draped around his shoulders.
joe rogan
This fucking elaborate work on that robe thing that he's got on.
It's so preposterous.
The idea that God would want you to dress like that.
andrew santino
You know what I always think of when I see big elaborate things like this?
At the end of the day, he's got to take that off to take a shit.
And it's so sad to take that off and drape it on the ground.
joe rogan
Or he stacks it on his lower back.
andrew santino
Like it's a wedding dress?
joe rogan
When he goes to wipe, he does a terrible job of cleaning up so the bottom of it has a little shit stain on it.
But he's still the Pope, so he's bringing it up to the sink, and he's trying to wash it in the sink, and it's just sort of wet and brown.
He's trying to get that little shit streak out of the bottom of his thing.
andrew santino
We call him the Pooh Pope, but don't say that.
joe rogan
You're being disrespectful to my beliefs.
unidentified
You're disrespectful.
joe rogan
Yes.
If this is what you believe, if you believe this guy is the fucking guy who's talking for God, come on, man.
I'm not saying there's no God when I'm saying we have to be very wary of people.
andrew santino
They're just people.
joe rogan
And cults.
And people and the patterns of thinking and behaving that they want you to engage in.
This is what we're looking at here.
There's two people holding this guy's fucking coat.
These two guys who are dressed like gay matadors.
Like giant gold-encrusted gay matadors.
And they're holding on to his cape.
andrew santino
They're fighting the devil.
joe rogan
And they're walking with him as he walks around with his giant staff of magic.
unidentified
Staff.
joe rogan
He's got a wizard's wand.
It's a goddamn Gandalf wand.
He's dressed like a wizard and he's got a staff.
Like, why isn't that glowing?
Why isn't there a lightning bolt going from that up into the storm clouds?
andrew santino
That looks like the level of cape bitch is way above the other guys.
Like, that's a graduation for them.
To be cape bitch is real big.
That's a big deal.
joe rogan
Cape bitch is a huge position.
Look at these guys.
These two cape bitches.
The guy on the left is probably annoying as fuck.
I bet he tells a lot of long stories.
When he gets the Pope alone, he's like, you know, I just wanted to tell you about my cousin and his belief in the Lord.
unidentified
And, you know, I think right now he's not getting along too good.
andrew santino
Is this the first pope that's okay with gay marriage?
Isn't that what he said?
joe rogan
Yeah, he's gotta say that.
andrew santino
He's the first one that was like, whatever.
joe rogan
He tossed out the throne, too.
He's got a normal chair.
andrew santino
Does he?
joe rogan
Yes.
andrew santino
That's kind of cool.
joe rogan
It is kind of cool.
But I think that was probably a joint effort.
They're like, look.
andrew santino
It was a PC move.
It was a politically fucking correct move.
joe rogan
See these doors behind me?
There's a thousand kids back there waiting to suck your dick.
Okay, we gotta make this right, though.
We gotta clean up the image.
We're still gonna do plenty of kid fucking.
andrew santino
What if you saw the Pope threw away his chair and got one of those medicine balls to sit on?
You know what I mean?
He had standing desks and shit.
He started getting into corporate America.
joe rogan
What are you showing me here, Jamie?
The Popemobile, the new one.
Yeah, the Popemobile.
The new one doesn't have bulletproof glass anymore.
The last Pope was like, I know they want to kill me.
I'm hiding.
andrew santino
Look at that, they don't even need glass to go all the way up because his back arches over so much.
He doesn't sit up straight, so they don't need high glass.
It's like a child window.
joe rogan
I wonder if that is different colors of glass because I would imagine you want to keep the headshots from coming down from the roof.
andrew santino
Totally.
joe rogan
I mean, if someone's going to shoot that dude.
But this guy doesn't even think anybody's going to shoot him.
And he's like, if someone wants to shoot me, they'll fucking shoot me.
andrew santino
Do it.
It's done.
joe rogan
Yeah, he's exposed.
andrew santino
Is it a Benz?
It's a Benzo, huh?
Yeah.
Yeah, you know, God always said he loved Mercedes more.
joe rogan
Baby Jesus loves a Jeep wagon, kid.
Like, the other old ones are Ben's, too.
The old bulletproof one.
andrew santino
I bequeath my son a Mercedes Benz.
joe rogan
Boy, there's nothing that says faith like driving around in a bulletproof fish tank.
Right?
I mean, that just shows you you really have a belief that God has a plan.
andrew santino
Can run flat, half-inch thick steel plate, lightweight Kevlar armor.
joe rogan
God damn it.
andrew santino
Three-inch composite plastic glass with an explosive.
joe rogan
Jesus Christ.
It's five tons.
That's a 10,000-pound truck.
That's crazy.
15 miles a gallon?
That's very efficient.
andrew santino
Yeah, that is really efficient.
joe rogan
Zero to 66 seconds?
What?
andrew santino
That's quick, dude.
joe rogan
Wait a minute.
How's that even possible?
That's bullshit.
Get that fucking thing on Top Gear.
Run a stop sign, a stopwatch with that.
There's no way that gets zero to 60 in six seconds.
unidentified
We're going to race the Popemobile versus the King of Saudi Arabia's mobile.
That's hilarious!
joe rogan
Dude, you sound like the guy from...
Not Top Gear, it's like Fifth Gear or something like that?
andrew santino
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Is that it?
The other one?
Yeah, what's the other one?
That's why.
joe rogan
You sound just like him.
That's creepy.
andrew santino
The Popemobile.
joe rogan
Something I like about British car analysts.
andrew santino
Oh, dude, me so much.
Well, they take the piss out of everything.
I like how it's self-deprecating there.
When they shit on cars, it's my favorite.
joe rogan
Jeremy Clarkson's the best.
andrew santino
Dude, it's hilarious.
The way he shits on things is so much fun.
And I just like to see fucking friends dump on each other on TV. Yeah.
I think that's fun to watch people dump on each other.
joe rogan
Well, especially in this day and age, it would be considered bullying.
andrew santino
Yeah.
joe rogan
They're bullying their friend.
andrew santino
It's really rude to pick on him like that.
joe rogan
Yeah, they just go after each other constantly.
It's fun.
It's a fun show, man.
andrew santino
Yeah, they have a beer afterwards.
Oh, for sure.
It's fine.
It's fucking fine.
joe rogan
Well, they were playing characters.
Like, James May would be Captain Slow.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
andrew santino
I love that shit.
joe rogan
They fucked up when they canceled that show.
Jeremy Clarkson punched some producer and they canceled the show and fired him.
andrew santino
If he even knocked out a tooth or some shit like that.
joe rogan
Well, he's drunk.
That's what happens.
You want to hang out with a big, crazy drunk dude?
You want to talk shit?
andrew santino
Don't talk shit.
joe rogan
Talk shit, get hit.
You guys are all drinking.
That's how it goes down.
You guys had a bar fight.
andrew santino
That's the most normal thing happened.
joe rogan
And he apologized afterwards.
And the other guy accepted it.
It's just, they fucked up.
andrew santino
Yeah, why can't that be the end of it?
joe rogan
I don't know, man.
And they have a new one they're doing now, and Matt LeBlanc from Friends is on it.
andrew santino
No.
Is he a big car guy?
joe rogan
Yes.
andrew santino
Oh, wow.
joe rogan
He's a giant car guy.
And he's a nice guy.
andrew santino
Yeah, I don't know anything about him, but I didn't know that.
joe rogan
Comes off like a good car guy.
It's not that he's bad.
It's just that, god damn, Jeremy Clarkson is a fucking...
Icon.
andrew santino
Yeah, he's a maniac, man.
joe rogan
Icon.
andrew santino
But Matt LeBlanc, is he a car collector?
Does he have his own car?
joe rogan
He loves cars.
I don't know to what extent, but he definitely loves cars.
He knows how to drive, too.
He drives on the show.
He's driving a Porsche 911 R. He can rip it.
He knows what he's doing.
andrew santino
That's good.
joe rogan
Yeah, he can drive.
So he must have some experience, some real track time experience.
But the guy, Chris Harris, who's on it, he's been on the podcast before.
That guy, he's my favorite.
Out of all the guys out there that are reviewing cars now, and he knows so much about them.
He really understands the geometry and the physics behind it, like the suspension.
He can tell you what they've changed, what they've improved, what it feels like, and what's being lost in this.
andrew santino
That's always impressive to me to have a bevy of knowledge like that.
My dad's worked in the automotive aftermarket industry for so long.
My stepdad was my dad.
joe rogan
What does he do?
andrew santino
Dude, for years and years, he worked for the ever-famous Turtle Wax Car Wash.
He was the president of sales for Turtle Wax.
unidentified
Wow.
andrew santino
He used to sell Turtle Wax.
joe rogan
The gold standard.
andrew santino
The gold standard, dude.
And now he works...
But the turtle fired him.
The shell fired him.
unidentified
Fuck.
andrew santino
Fuck them.
And then he works for this company called Haynes, who's out of Britain.
And they are one of the last remaining companies that makes...
Zero A to Z manuals on hand building vehicles.
unidentified
Wow.
andrew santino
So if you want to hand build kit cars or you want to literally build a car from fucking scratch, most of their sales go to like mechanics, auto body shops, but they're also, they own the rights to fictional, how do I say this?
They own the rights to fictional mechanics, fictional mechanisms that in our film world are real.
Like the fucking Millennium Falcon, they own the rights to how to build a Millennium Falcon from scratch.
unidentified
Whoa.
andrew santino
And they sell that manual.
That's a real fucking manual you can buy.
Isn't that fucking crazy?
joe rogan
That is crazy.
andrew santino
Yeah.
They have that for a bunch of cars.
joe rogan
Kit cars are pretty wild.
andrew santino
Dude, kit cars I was always fascinated with.
My buddy's dad used to build MGs all the time and let us fuck around in them, and I was fascinated with MGs because he loved them.
joe rogan
There's this dope English kit car that was for sale Really recently.
And you would buy it, and then once you got it over here, then you had to put an engine in it.
andrew santino
Yeah.
joe rogan
But they would sell it to you with no engine.
andrew santino
Right, you build it first and they drop it in there.
joe rogan
Yeah, but it wasn't that.
It wasn't a total kit car, like you start from scratch, you attach the suspension.
andrew santino
Right.
joe rogan
It wasn't that.
It was like they would sell it to you as a car with no engine.
And then you would have to put the engine in.
It's a dope...
andrew santino
That's a trick.
joe rogan
God, the name is like, it's right there.
andrew santino
But there's only so many blocks that could fit in that framework, right?
joe rogan
Yeah, yeah.
You would get like a parameter, you know, like a V8 LS1 or something like that and try to put it in there.
God damn it.
Noble.
Noble.
That's what it's called.
andrew santino
Noble car?
joe rogan
It's called a Noble.
andrew santino
That's dope.
joe rogan
It's a dope looking car, man.
And guys, I think they're just, you know, you'd only have a certain amount of horsepower it could take.
But I didn't think, I don't think it had the drivetrain either.
I think you had to add the drivetrain as well.
I think essentially it was just a frame and the doors and all that shit.
andrew santino
It must have just been...
Parts from other third-party car manufacturers, and they got whatever parts they could, put them together, you built that, and then the engine is what, from anywhere at all?
joe rogan
I think.
You'd have to just know how to do it.
I mean, there's a whole market now where they buy engines, and then they put them in older cars.
So they'll buy, like, one of the big companies that does it is a company called Icon, and...
What they do is they take like a 69 Bronco and they strip it down.
They put the car back together again with a modern suspension.
Then they take a 2017 Ford Mustang engine and put it in the Bronco.
And drop it in?
unidentified
Whoa.
joe rogan
So they put totally modern brakes, totally modern suspension, Bronco engine.
But the Bronco engine's a 2017 Ford GT. It's called a Coyote motor.
It's a really high-end, high-tech motor.
It's a really nice motor.
So you have, like, this old-school car.
So they have, like, kits, like, they do that with LS1s or LS engines.
unidentified
I've heard that.
andrew santino
Maybe you and I talked about this.
Someone was saying that they were taking classic, Ford might have been doing this themselves, where they take classic Mustangs and put new Mustang engines in old classic Mustang bodies.
joe rogan
No, we were talking about that.
You and I were talking about that.
There's a guy who's got a page on Instagram where he did it, and I think it's called GT500 Super Swap.
So he's got a...
Someone had a Shelby.
Shelby GT500 from 2012, and he put that body...
Of a 1969 car over the 2012 car.
andrew santino
Fuck.
joe rogan
So it's the best of both worlds.
That's it right there.
unidentified
Wow.
joe rogan
It is so beautiful.
It's so beautiful.
andrew santino
Wow.
joe rogan
So this guy nailed it.
But he's only done one car.
I thought he was doing it.
I thought there was a company that was doing it.
But apparently it's just this one dude who's done this.
andrew santino
What does that run for?
Did it say what he's selling those for?
joe rogan
I don't think he's selling it.
andrew santino
No, he just wants to fucking show you how dope his shit is.
unidentified
I think he just did it once.
andrew santino
He should sell the fuck out of that thing.
joe rogan
He should sell the fuck out of that.
Look, I had a 2012 GT500. There it is.
It was a great car.
That's another one, though.
That's a different color.
Oh, it's a different car.
andrew santino
Oh, look at that.
unidentified
Helping a friend sell a 68 Mustang 33K. Ooh, that's a beautiful car.
andrew santino
33,000 miles is nothing.
joe rogan
That is nothing.
That's a beautiful car.
God, those things were classic.
Those 1960s Mustangs are some of the most beautiful shapes ever.
And to take that and put a...
I think 2012 the GT500 packed 550 horsepower.
andrew santino
Yeah.
Almost 600. Isn't that crazy that this won't be in the future?
That, like, in the future, like, no one's gonna have...
A lot of these current cars now are just gonna go by the wayside.
Like, there's only so many cars that will stick around as classics from the, you know, early 2000s era.
joe rogan
Yeah, there's not gonna be any, like, driving yourself in 100 years.
andrew santino
No, it's over.
Like, that idea is fucking...
It's dead.
unidentified
It's gone.
joe rogan
That's a Noble.
Yeah.
unidentified
Wow.
joe rogan
That's it right there.
Isn't that a dope car?
andrew santino
It has a Ferrari body a little bit, right?
joe rogan
Kind of.
Sort of, like...
Like an old, um, more like, what is the car I'm thinking of?
andrew santino
The Lotus front used to look like that.
Yeah, the Lotus front used to look like that.
joe rogan
Yeah, that's right.
Like the cool Lotuses of like, wow, look at that.
Oh, that's a newer one, huh?
andrew santino
Wow, that's fucking tight.
joe rogan
That's a digital image.
We can't hear you, you know.
andrew santino
Sorry, their website's pretty cool.
Where does it say?
Italy, right?
Is that what they're out of?
England.
Oh, British.
joe rogan
I think they don't have airbags, or they didn't have airbags.
andrew santino
Yeah, because if you're going 180, fuck it.
joe rogan
That doesn't look like an airbag to me.
It just looks like a steering wheel.
andrew santino
You die, you die, I guess.
joe rogan
Yeah, I think that's too complicated.
andrew santino
Yeah, fuck it.
joe rogan
Fuck that airbag thing.
I would want to find out, like...
andrew santino
No, that looks like it might have one.
joe rogan
Actually, it might have an airbag.
No, that's a horn, bro.
andrew santino
No, it's a horn.
unidentified
Yeah, fuck it.
joe rogan
It's just a horn.
andrew santino
That's it.
joe rogan
I think that was the problem.
I think they hadn't gone through all of the FCC... What is it?
What would be the...
andrew santino
What is the name of that?
No, I can't think.
The IHSA Safety Motor...
unidentified
Is that it?
andrew santino
Yeah, IHSA, yeah.
That thing's fucking really sexy looking, man.
joe rogan
It's a dope looking car.
andrew santino
That's all that carbon fiber in there.
joe rogan
God, those seats look amazing.
andrew santino
But see, that e-brake is up, but it doesn't look like it's stick.
joe rogan
That's just what you put in your asshole.
andrew santino
Oh, that's where you get fucked?
Oh, when you...
unidentified
Okay.
andrew santino
Is there one in the front, too?
Can you suck one while you fuck one?
joe rogan
No, no, you can't be greedy.
andrew santino
That wouldn't be noble.
joe rogan
Look at the inside of that thing.
andrew santino
God, it's beautiful.
See, that's all push button.
There is no fucking stick in there at all.
joe rogan
Yeah, there's no manual transmission.
That's what they're all using now, those exotic Italian cars and everything.
Everything is paddle shifts now.
andrew santino
I know.
Well, look at this.
Did you see this?
I had this.
This was for a thing.
Hold on, let me show you.
joe rogan
I'm really bummed out the new NSX. Look at that fun thing, huh?
andrew santino
I rented that for the shoot that we were doing.
joe rogan
Oh, that's beautiful.
andrew santino
That's the old Magnum PI Ferrari, man.
joe rogan
No, that's a couple years later.
andrew santino
Yeah, it was.
joe rogan
That's a 355 GT, right?
andrew santino
Yeah, it's a similar design, though.
joe rogan
John Lovitz had one of those.
I drove that once.
unidentified
Dude, so fun.
joe rogan
John Levitz made me drive his car.
andrew santino
That year of Ferrari, or well, not just that year, but I mean, that was when Ferrari's one was down.
You know, Ferrari's one is down.
joe rogan
Yeah.
andrew santino
Instead of up, reverse is up, but one is down, two, three, four, five.
But that thing was so much fucking fun.
Look at that.
joe rogan
That's right.
I forgot that they had it backwards.
andrew santino
Yeah, it was backwards.
1995 was, I think, the year of that Ferrari.
joe rogan
Somebody wrote Pontiac Fiero.
Dope Pontiac Fiero.
Do you remember when they used to have those kit cards?
unidentified
Yeah, man.
joe rogan
When they would take a Pontiac Fiero and put Ferrari bodies on the outside, like a fake Ferrari body.
andrew santino
Yeah.
That's pretty great, man.
joe rogan
So much work.
andrew santino
Somebody just showed me...
I forgot about Lamborghini Countach, and it was like their something year anniversary, and they just are re-releasing the Countaches.
Do you remember those cars?
joe rogan
Oh, yeah.
andrew santino
Dude, that was...
I remember thinking that that was the only car that I ever thought was worthy of any amount of money that it was worth.
I was like, that's the fuck...
Any dime that thing is fucking worth, I wouldn't buy that fucking thing.
joe rogan
Do you remember that Sylvester Stallone...
andrew santino
It was such a fucking cool car.
joe rogan
Rocky drove that car in Rocky IV when he was going through a fucking real hard time, trading for this Russian!
And so he had, like, there's a crazy scene.
Look at this!
Look at this!
A handsome bastard with his boxing shoes on.
andrew santino
He's got boxing shoes on.
joe rogan
Hilarious.
andrew santino
That's the Countach, baby.
joe rogan
He was a beautiful man back then.
But there's a, like, it's literally a music video where they play where he's in the car and the music starts playing.
andrew santino
Yeah, when he's cruising.
joe rogan
And he's driving.
It's so corny.
andrew santino
It's so cheesy.
joe rogan
Yeah, give me no easy way out.
Give me some volume on this.
This is so terrible!
The people at home can hear this or no?
unidentified
Southpaw, look how dope that plate was.
joe rogan
So he's driving around and he's thinking of Dolph Lundgren kicking his ass while he's driving around.
And he's in his Lamborghinis.
He's so cool.
He leaves his mansion.
It's so silly.
andrew santino
Oh, dude.
unidentified
He's the fucking man.
joe rogan
Look, it's so silly!
andrew santino
No smiles at all.
Not happy, not excited about it.
joe rogan
Yeah, I took a deep breath.
I got my tie on.
I'm sophisticated now.
andrew santino
I just gotta think about where my life is going.
joe rogan
The best part about it is, to do this movie, or to do this fight, he had to go to old school methods and move to the fucking woods and he was carrying logs around and running in the snow.
unidentified
Right.
andrew santino
Chopping down fucking trees, dude.
joe rogan
That's how you get in shape.
andrew santino
Fucking A, man shit.
joe rogan
Man shit.
Out in the woods.
Adrian, I gotta leave you alone!
I gotta go out here in the wilderness!
Gotta go out here and chop some wood.
unidentified
I gotta chop wood, then I'm gonna fuck you, and then I'm gonna go whoop ass.
joe rogan
I'm gonna carry a log through this.
unidentified
No!
joe rogan
Oh, shut this off before I die.
andrew santino
Oh, shit.
joe rogan
I can't do it anymore.
Those movies are great, though.
andrew santino
Dude, so fucking great.
joe rogan
A window into time.
andrew santino
And a return when it was okay to be ridiculous in film.
joe rogan
Oh, yeah, man.
andrew santino
Now everything gets checked and balanced so much that everything has to be proven by the studio.
Back then, that was an idea.
I'm sure he was like, what if I'm driving around thinking about the fight?
joe rogan
Make a music video!
andrew santino
And they're like, great.
We got an extra hundred grand to burn this week.
Let's fucking do it.
joe rogan
I'm thinking we have a time lapse of all the shitty moments of my life.
All the things where it didn't work out.
unidentified
Can you guys show the first time a family member died?
How about we go back to the first time I ever kissed Adrian?
Adrian?
andrew santino
Okay, yeah, Rock, we have some of our own scenes planned.
joe rogan
Mm-mm.
Fuck that.
unidentified
Fuck that.
joe rogan
I know my people.
He does, though.
I mean, he's still cranking out action movies.
He's kicking people's asses, and he's in his 70s.
andrew santino
Dude, can I tell you the one?
I did a fucking benefit.
I did, like, the stand-up at a benefit for Tom Arnold for this thing, this charity he runs, and Sly was there because they've known each other for years, and as I got off stage, I walked past him, and I didn't want to, like, you know, I didn't want to be like, hey, and fucking call attention, but as I walked by, he goes, very, very good.
I was like, that's fucking awesome!
I was like, that's enough for me, dude.
Very, very good.
joe rogan
I interviewed him once for the UFC. There was, uh, something was going on.
He was, uh, some movie was coming out.
I forget what movie it was, but he wanted, he was fun!
He was easy, didn't take him seriously.
andrew santino
Was it The Expendables or whatever that is?
joe rogan
I don't remember.
I don't think it was.
andrew santino
He's the fucking man.
joe rogan
I think it was another movie.
I forget what movie it was.
But, uh, he was super, like, self-deprecating and easy to get along with.
andrew santino
That's how you stay fucking on earth, man.
joe rogan
He said something about his mom and someone yelled something out.
Someone cackled him, yelled something out.
He goes, oh, there's my mom.
She's up there.
She's quick.
But he was a genuinely nice guy.
Just friendly.
Easy going.
One of the biggest movie stars in the world.
andrew santino
In the world.
joe rogan
But was like, hey, what's up?
What's up?
How you doing?
It was pretty cool.
I liked it.
unidentified
It was nice.
andrew santino
That's what we were saying before we jumped on.
The level of what fame means to be an international movie star now has changed so much.
I was in Japan, and I'm in Japan, and I bring up my Instagram because these young Japanese kids are wanting to see my social media.
And he sees the blue checkmark of the verified shit.
And he's like, famous?
Famous?
And I'm like, no, no, no, no, no.
Dude, no, no, no.
I was like, they give that to any fucking asshole now.
And they're all like laughing because they're like, what do you do?
And I'm like, uh, comedian.
Comedian.
And their faces were kind of like, comedian.
And one guy goes, Will Smith?
And I go, yeah, Will Smith.
That's exactly...
That's exactly right.
joe rogan
Fresh Prince!
andrew santino
That's the level of...
When you say what's famous around the world, you're like...
Sly.
When you say who was a famous...
I don't know if we have...
I don't know if the rest of the world knows as many of our stars as they used to.
It used to be you were an international star and that's what made you a megastar.
Now it's kind of like you can be famous here...
In film, and not really be known at all over there.
I mean, you could then, but there was so...
I feel like we were pumping out international stars at one point.
There were, like, just a bevy of international action stars.
You know what I mean?
That just became, in that era of Schwarzenegger, Sly, even, like, we were talking about Jean-Claude Van Damme before this, Seagal, like, all these, like...
Willis, like all these mega international superstars because the action movies were so big.
Now we've put that into fantasy film.
So now it's Guardians of the Galaxy.
Now it's any superhero movie.
That's become it.
But I miss the world of like, why can't we have an action movie that isn't a comic book?
unidentified
Hmm.
andrew santino
Where does that go?
joe rogan
Yeah, we would need, it would have to be like...
Someone you'd have to be The Rock.
andrew santino
But he could do it.
joe rogan
He could do it.
andrew santino
But why doesn't it exist?
joe rogan
Maybe people don't want those movies anymore.
andrew santino
Fuck, why not?
joe rogan
They have to have some sort of a metric they're judging this from, right?
Like when they're making these movies, are they?
andrew santino
I think it's because they made a couple of action hero movies.
I mean, they made a couple of comic book films and they did so fucking well that now we have a bevy of them because they know that there's such a big market for it.
But I can't imagine you wouldn't want to see another...
joe rogan
Die Hard type dude.
andrew santino
Yeah, why the fuck not?
joe rogan
Why haven't they redone Die Hard?
unidentified
They did.
joe rogan
They did?
See, there you go.
andrew santino
Who did they redo Die Hard with?
When did they?
unidentified
They didn't redo it, they just kept, they're still doing it.
joe rogan
Oh, it's being done right now?
andrew santino
Yeah, I think they're even making another one right now.
joe rogan
Who's the Die Hard guy?
It's still Bruce Willis.
Get the fuck out of here.
unidentified
Shut up.
joe rogan
Bruce Willis has not kept himself up.
He looks like he'd throw a punch, his shoulder would blow out.
andrew santino
Fuckin' hell.
That really hurts.
joe rogan
I mean, unless he's been working out since I last checked.
andrew santino
2013, and then it says future right here.
unidentified
Let's see.
joe rogan
Oh, they started it in 2013?
unidentified
No, that's the last one that came out.
andrew santino
Did they try to do a TV show?
Is that what it was?
unidentified
What?
joe rogan
Wait a minute.
andrew santino
I thought I read they were making another one recently.
joe rogan
There was a Die Hard in 2013?
Yeah, yeah.
unidentified
What?
jamie vernon
With Justin Long, I think, was in it.
andrew santino
Wait.
unidentified
And it's about his daughter.
What?
andrew santino
Yeah.
God, I'm bad.
That doesn't sound at all familiar.
joe rogan
If you had to tell me, and I'm a Bruce Willis fan, I think Bruce Willis is awesome.
But if you had to tell me when was his last movie, I'd be like...
I assume he's just popping Biagra and shooting loads all over the place.
andrew santino
I don't know.
What is his last fucking movie?
joe rogan
A Good Day to Die Hard.
Wow.
And who's the guy?
Is that Kevin Hart?
andrew santino
No.
joe rogan
Who is that dude?
andrew santino
I've never seen that guy in my life.
It was just a guy that was on set.
joe rogan
Did anybody go to see that?
What did it get on IMDB? 14% on Rotten Tomatoes?
Wow.
andrew santino
Hey, can you go to Box Office Mojo and look that up?
Will you look it up on Box Office Mojo?
joe rogan
Box Office Mojo?
andrew santino
Oh, no, there it was.
Go back.
Sorry, go back to the previous page.
joe rogan
What is Box Office Mojo?
andrew santino
It'll tell you, like, budget, and it'll tell you what it made here in International.
unidentified
Where is that at?
andrew santino
Look at that down there.
joe rogan
How do you know all this?
andrew santino
92 million.
Box Office, it made 304 million.
Is that what it says?
unidentified
Wow.
andrew santino
So it fucking killed.
It did great.
joe rogan
Probably all overseas.
andrew santino
All foreign sales.
Yeah, go to Box Office Mojo.
It'll show you.
joe rogan
So maybe he's, like, one of the few guys left that can still do that.
unidentified
Yeah.
andrew santino
Yeah.
joe rogan
You know, like Steven Seagal still sells a ton of movies overseas.
andrew santino
A fuckload.
joe rogan
They do those straight to, you know, straight to video, straight to DVD things.
andrew santino
Straight to DVD. Dude, he makes tons of money.
They internationally sell the movie before he even makes it.
Do you know that?
joe rogan
You know, he's a Russian citizen now.
andrew santino
I know, I love it.
It's great.
joe rogan
They gave him a passport.
andrew santino
That's hilarious.
He's sticking around.
joe rogan
There you go.
andrew santino
Look at that, there's the proof.
It made 62 million here, it made 237 overseas.
Wow.
International superstar, dude.
Get that paper, Bruce.
joe rogan
Get that paper, Bruce.
That's amazing.
andrew santino
What do you think he walked away with?
He took 10 up front to make it.
joe rogan
He probably got a ton of money.
I don't know how it works.
andrew santino
Points.
He's probably got 30 million out of that, maybe.
joe rogan
Bruce Willis balling out of control.
andrew santino
Bruce, hit us up, dude!
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
He's good friends with Dom Herrera.
unidentified
Is he?
joe rogan
Yeah.
andrew santino
Those two.
That's so funny.
I would love to see just them two in a diner having a conversation.
joe rogan
I know, right?
andrew santino
Just Bruce and Dom Herrera.
joe rogan
Dom Herrera, still doing the damn thing.
andrew santino
Yeah, dude, I fucking love him.
He did a bunch of episodes on the Showtime show, I did.
joe rogan
Did he?
andrew santino
Yeah, dude.
It's fucking so awesome that they got, like, real comics, man.
joe rogan
The Showtime show looks great, man.
I love how authentic everybody looks.
andrew santino
Thank you, man.
joe rogan
And the hairstyles.
andrew santino
They killed it.
joe rogan
And they went with real comics.
Al Madrigal, you, Jerron.
andrew santino
Me, Eric Griffin, Jerron.
Fucking Dom.
Earl Skakel does a few pop-ins on it.
Oh my god.
I'm drawing such a blank.
There's so many other guys that came in and left.
Judy fucking Gold.
Yeah, that's us right there.
joe rogan
Look at that, man.
That's crazy.
andrew santino
Melissa fucking Leo.
joe rogan
Did you guys feel like an extreme amount of responsibility while you were doing this?
Because you're doing a movie that's based on the most important comedy club, in my opinion, ever.
andrew santino
Yeah, TV show.
But yeah, yeah, no, yeah, yeah.
joe rogan
Well, you're doing a show.
unidentified
Yeah, we did.
andrew santino
Well, the pressure was fucking...
Yeah, man, I felt the pressure.
The responsibility was fucking huge.
joe rogan
Wow.
andrew santino
We premiered last night, and it'll air this Sunday.
And Jim Carrey said some amazing things, man.
Yeah, that's our cast photo.
That one that you clicked, that one, yeah.
joe rogan
Did it feel weird to be on that?
I mean, it must have been like...
andrew santino
I can tell you from the bottom of my honest heart, it was the most important thing I've done so far.
unidentified
Wow.
andrew santino
Dude, I mean, we were paying homage to the world that we love and respect so much, and it was a big effort on Jim's part and his producing partner, Michael Aguilar, to tell real stories.
A lot of the stories that people will see if you watch the show, and I hope you do, come from Jim's real life.
Two dudes from Boston move, they live in a fucking dude's closet in West Hollywood, and they used to be a guy that would jerk off and watch Jim change, and Jim put that story in the show, man.
He wanted all these little great tidbits.
There's a great moment about joke stealing in there and a fucking huge fistfight that breaks out that was real from Jim's personal life about guys who used to come in from the fucking radio, from talk radio.
In the morning, they'd come to the club at night, come to the store, steal shit.
The next morning, comics would fucking hear it.
joe rogan
Yeah, that's a real common thing.
andrew santino
Yeah, man.
joe rogan
That was always going on.
You know what else was going on?
A big one was writers for sitcoms would come.
andrew santino
Yep, same shit.
joe rogan
And they would watch people do sets, and then they would wind up putting their bits in, like, even on fucking Seinfeld.
One of Kevin James' signature bits got used on Seinfeld after he had a bunch of meetings, and then they came to see him perform.
A bunch of, like, top writers came to see him perform at an NBC showcase.
It was like when Kevin was getting a development deal, and they came down and watched him, and then the next season, his muffin bit was on a Seinfeld episode.
He was like, what the fuck, man?
andrew santino
Well, nowadays, they're blatant.
They tell you.
I tested for Saturday Night Live, and you sign a form that says these characters can be used after the audition.
unidentified
Whoa.
andrew santino
And this is crazy.
I'm not calling out anybody or saying anything, but there was a character that ended up on the show that Vanessa Bayer did fucking hilariously that I did something similar in my audition.
I was like, damn, that was really good.
joe rogan
Wait a minute.
So you audition.
You have a character you audition with.
andrew santino
Yeah, I did this character.
I did this fake sportscaster.
joe rogan
They can steal that.
They own that now.
andrew santino
Yeah.
joe rogan
Because you audition.
andrew santino
Fuck you.
joe rogan
Fuck you, man.
andrew santino
Yeah, you sign a piece of paper, man.
unidentified
That's crazy.
joe rogan
They're not even giving you money and they're stealing your ideas.
andrew santino
That's the respect that SNL has earned in that community.
joe rogan
You don't have that respect.
andrew santino
It's crazy.
joe rogan
That's stealing.
You're stealing.
andrew santino
Well, I signed the form, man.
joe rogan
God, dude, that's so awful.
andrew santino
I signed that sheet because you can almost taste it, you know?
joe rogan
But they're making you sign something saying, we're going to steal from you.
andrew santino
Totally.
joe rogan
That's insane.
We're going to steal from you, and we're not going to pay you anything.
We're going to use this thing.
It might be a fucking Mike Myers movie someday.
andrew santino
And you have to say, yes, sir.
May I have another?
joe rogan
Take it.
Take it.
andrew santino
I took it.
joe rogan
God, it's so crazy.
andrew santino
I took it, man.
I took it.
It was a wild process.
joe rogan
But the fact that some hugely successful business wouldn't want to compensate people for creating those ideas...
andrew santino
Fly you out to show yourself off.
joe rogan
Even if you just don't hire them, but you like that character, there should be an established rate that you have to pay for things.
andrew santino
And my whole thing is, I'm not saying what they did was what I did, but there was just some similarities in the nuances of the character that I thought were...
Either just, you know, a confluence of great ideas, but it is hard.
You think about that stuff.
You're like, man, is that close to what I did?
Because, you know, like we said back in the day, like our show shows, people were blatantly stealing in comedy for fucking ever.
It's been like the beginning of time.
And especially in the 70s, which I think is what we tried to show, was like, they would steal these radio guys.
And fucking show up again and be like, hey!
Like it didn't happen.
joe rogan
No big deal.
Come on, buddy.
unidentified
Yeah, told him.
andrew santino
That was one of your shit jokes from last night.
joe rogan
We always promote you.
Whenever you're in town.
unidentified
Yeah.
andrew santino
Like, I'm really lucky that I didn't grow up in a generation where you didn't get paid in the sense of like, I remember hearing stories of guys that would go on the road and then get fucked out of a check.
joe rogan
You can get fucked still.
unidentified
Really?
joe rogan
People get fucked.
Yeah, I've heard of people getting fucked.
Joey Diaz had an experience about a year ago.
andrew santino
Well, Joey's one I gotta fuck with too.
joe rogan
Yeah, he called this guy up and started screaming at him and said, listen, you know, you don't fucking pay me.
He goes, I'm gonna tell the whole world.
He goes, I'm gonna have all my friends tell the whole world and no one's gonna fucking work here anymore.
andrew santino
That's it.
joe rogan
Yeah, and he wound up getting paid, but it took him a while to get paid.
There's a lot of club owners are still doing coke.
andrew santino
Isn't that fucking insane?
joe rogan
I know a guy!
I know a guy.
I can't even be around him.
Every time I'm around him, he's coked up.
He's just living it like the old days.
But here's the thing, man.
unidentified
It never stopped.
joe rogan
It's been a part of it from the beginning of time.
andrew santino
Yeah.
joe rogan
Like, from the beginning of when I started doing stand-up, there was a lot of club owners that were on Coke.
And they just partied.
andrew santino
That was just normal.
joe rogan
Yeah, they partied.
Nick's Comedy Stop in Boston, it never happened to me, because I was never a Coke guy, but they would offer you, if you wanted to get paid, in money or Coke.
andrew santino
I'm not kidding.
Imagine any other industry.
joe rogan
They would pay the comics in cocaine.
Like Lenny Clark has told me about it in great detail.
andrew santino
And said, I'll just take the coke, I guess.
joe rogan
Some guys took the coke.
andrew santino
Can you do a half and half?
Can you do like an eight ball?
joe rogan
These guys were selling coke and running comedy clubs.
andrew santino
That's kind of brilliant.
joe rogan
Yeah, I mean, it was total organized crime shit.
It was all organized crime.
It was just like at a level where it was acceptable.
It wasn't like they were killing people, but they were selling coke.
andrew santino
Yeah, but coke was so okay that it was like, nah, it's fucking...
joe rogan
Dude, no one's totally captured the crazy days of Boston.
I was a kid back then, so I got to see it really from the outside.
And it all started before I even started about four years before I started.
It was at its peak in like 84. Yeah.
Those guys were maniacs.
andrew santino
Out of their minds.
joe rogan
Maniacs hammered every night on...
Mario Joyner was talking about it last night at the store.
andrew santino
Yeah.
joe rogan
Because he was hosting the show that we were doing, and Mario Joyner was like, they would just go up there and just get hammered.
And just be killing.
andrew santino
Just killing.
Blacked out, crushing.
joe rogan
Blacked out, drunk, hammered.
It was a whole different groove, man.
andrew santino
Now you have to be on your P's and Q's, man.
Now everyone's got to be real tight.
I feel like the majority of people in comedy, the longer I've stayed in comedy, the more I see people sober now.
I think a lot of people, it's just not...
I feel like there's a lot more clean people working now than people who party.
joe rogan
I think there's a lot of people that realize the consequences of partying.
You can only stay on that fucking train for so long.
If you look at the great ones that got derailed...
Whether it's Cat Williams, whether it's Kinison, the great ones that have been derailed by cocaine, there's a ton of them that we know of.
The cocaine one gets you.
andrew santino
It ends in a bad way.
joe rogan
You go bad.
Your creativity goes away.
You get paranoid.
You get tired.
Your act diminishes greatly.
Like, Kinison, in my opinion, is the best example.
He's the best example of a guy who at one point in time was just Arguably the best ever for like two years.
andrew santino
Non-stop good.
joe rogan
Just a monster.
Yeah.
And a thing like no one had seen before.
Like there wasn't a Sam Kinison like an archetype.
andrew santino
Yeah.
joe rogan
It didn't exist.
andrew santino
No.
joe rogan
He was this fat guy, been fucked over!
I've been married twice!
And he just would come out, this giant fucking, this big energy, this thing, like a fucking human storm of comedy.
But then it dropped off so radically.
Like Ari was talking about the other night, like if you go and watch his stuff after the second special, it's like, the second special's a big drop off.
The real shit is his CD Or it wasn't even a CD. Warner Brothers wouldn't even make it a CD because it was so homophobic.
They kept it a cassette.
For real.
His cassette, Louder Than Hell, and then his HBO special.
And don't watch anything after that.
andrew santino
The HBO special is what I remember fucking seeing as one of the things where I was like, this is insane.
This is like a fucking madman who's hitting all the marks, you know?
joe rogan
Yeah.
andrew santino
It's like a...
joe rogan
A smart madman.
andrew santino
Yes, a genius.
But he didn't miss.
It was weird.
It was like...
Yeah, it's like watching someone do something brilliantly in sports where you're like, everything worked perfectly.
It was like all the stars were aligning for him to just...
chugging on this train of crushing.
That was crazy shit to see, man.
joe rogan
And it was like during the Reagan era, where people started to get a little buttoned down.
That was like we went from Carter to Reagan, right?
So we go from this hippie peanut farmer from Georgia that couldn't get the hostages back from Iran to this movie star with a slick black hair and, oh, oh!
It's just like, he was a part of that.
I mean, there was a part of the whole country was fucking crazy at the time.
And Kinison came along and he sort of embodied the frustrations that a lot of people felt.
andrew santino
The timing was perfect.
joe rogan
Perfect!
But, cocaine got him.
Like, he wasn't the same guy after that special.
There's this giant drop-off in the amount of focus he put on his work.
andrew santino
Yeah.
Well, because you become complacent and you also, like, I think the more money and fame you get, I think unless you have sense of groundedness and humility around you, like friends to be like, dude, you gotta fucking change your game.
You're fucking up.
You're slipping.
You're not producing anymore.
You're not writing.
You're not developing.
You're not changing who you are as a comic.
I think if you don't have that around you, if everyone around you is like, more fucking coke, dude!
More bitches!
Bring them up!
unidentified
Woo!
That's over.
joe rogan
That's it.
No, I agree.
andrew santino
The train crashes, man.
joe rogan
I don't know Cat Williams, but I'll tell you what, to this day, like Pimpin' Chronicles, Pimp Chronicles, whatever that special is that he did, that is a goddamn genius special.
andrew santino
Dude, it's amazing.
It's amazing.
joe rogan
And apparently he likes to do a little cocaine.
I never know.
unidentified
Woo!
joe rogan
I don't know, but I just wish he would clean up.
He's one of those guys I look forward to when he puts out shit.
andrew santino
Yeah, because it's so fucking different.
joe rogan
Crazy.
Just wild.
andrew santino
Yeah, he's wild, man.
joe rogan
He's real.
I mean, it's just, he's a maniac.
His fucking hair is all slicked back and sweating like a pig.
He paused his special to change his clothes because he sweats so much.
andrew santino
That's genius.
That's how you know you're putting in work.
joe rogan
He sweat through his clothes.
andrew santino
You're getting your money worth.
joe rogan
He went and did a change and came back out and kept crushing.
andrew santino
That's how you know he put in work.
joe rogan
Yeah, and that was after he had gone through all those cancelled shows and all the craziness and got on stage and yelled at a heckler for five minutes and then left and everybody wanted their money back.
andrew santino
They booed him and shit.
joe rogan
He still came back and crushed.
Yeah.
andrew santino
Yeah, he's fucking good.
joe rogan
It's that goddamn cocaine, though.
It gets them.
It gets everybody.
Everybody that we know that never made it.
I mean, how many guys do you know that were funny, that never made it, that started doing coke?
andrew santino
A shitload of dudes.
joe rogan
A shitload.
andrew santino
Not just coke, too, but just anything, anything, anything.
I mean, as soon as they got into the party world, the hard party world of like...
Yeah, coke.
It's gotta be coke.
joe rogan
The coke one was big.
andrew santino
It just snags people.
unidentified
Goddamn.
andrew santino
And then they disappear, man.
joe rogan
People who love coke must hate my podcast.
Like, he's always shitting on coke.
You've never even done coke, bro.
andrew santino
That's the thing about Rogan, dude.
I like him, but he's like a bitch about coke, dawg.
joe rogan
Let it go, bro.
I do a little coke.
andrew santino
I do a little coke every day.
joe rogan
Apparently that is the best way to get girls to have sex with you, though.
Like, if you've got some cocaine, you've got to be in the right place where people need cocaine.
andrew santino
They're not allowed to say no.
joe rogan
They just say yes.
They just get crazy and they do coke.
I guess it's like a super inhibition-lowering thing.
You know?
andrew santino
I think the idea is so fun that they're like, he can get coke.
Like anybody can get weed, but it's like, he can get coke?
joe rogan
You're waiting at the house for the guy to show up.
unidentified
Fuck this guy.
joe rogan
The guy shows up in a Lamborghini with that fucking music playing in the background.
There's no easy way out!
Gets out of his car, puts the e-brake on.
Yo man, I got your package!
You go out, you give him the money, you hug like a little bit too violently.
Like a little slap the back hug.
Thank you, bro!
You know that slap the back hug?
andrew santino
Yeah.
joe rogan
Because you know that you're dealing in some seriously illegal things.
That guy knows where you live, too.
andrew santino
How's your sister, man?
joe rogan
She's good, bro.
Thanks for asking.
andrew santino
No shit, no shit.
joe rogan
Thanks for the coke, man.
andrew santino
No doubt, no doubt.
joe rogan
This is good shit.
Oh, yo, the best.
andrew santino
Yo, next time, I got some really clean shits not stepped on, dawg, so fucking hit me the fuck up, alright?
joe rogan
Yo, next week, next week, I got a new shipment coming in.
You gotta be careful, though.
Don't OD. Because this shit's that strong.
andrew santino
Don't OD, dude.
I don't want that on my conscience.
joe rogan
Bitches be dropping their panties for this shit, bro.
andrew santino
You got any bitches in the house?
No?
Alright, man.
I gotta get out of here.
joe rogan
Did you see that that Mary Letourneau lady that fucked that kid in school and went to jail and then had a kid with him?
andrew santino
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
joe rogan
They just broke up after 21 years together.
andrew santino
Can you believe it?
joe rogan
This kid finally broke up.
It's like, this bitch is crazy.
21 years later.
andrew santino
That's all it took.
Two decades.
joe rogan
21 years this kid has been banging her.
andrew santino
I gotta get the fuck out of here.
joe rogan
Oh, you're nuts.
You fucked me when I was 12. What am I doing here?
andrew santino
Shit, I didn't realize this was super unhealthy.
Alright, yeah.
Thanks.
I gotta go.
joe rogan
I think they have a kid together.
Do they?
andrew santino
18-year-old daughter.
joe rogan
They have an 18-year-old daughter.
andrew santino
Well, she's gonna fucking have everything in order, I'm sure.
joe rogan
She's gonna be the leader of a punk band.
She'll have half her head shaved.
She'll be fucking wearing Doc Martens stomping around.
Mary Kay Letourneau's husband.
We only split so I could sell pot.
andrew santino
Oh, what the fuck?
joe rogan
I love it.
I love life.
Life's beautiful.
They're still happily together and he merely filed for legal separation for May 9th because he believes it'll make it easier for him to get a license to distribute cig-a-weed marijuana cigarettes.
jamie vernon
She's a registered sex offender.
joe rogan
Oh!
andrew santino
Well, yeah, she has to be, right?
Because he was underage.
joe rogan
That's hilarious.
I bet she's still a freak.
andrew santino
Totally, dude.
joe rogan
I bet she puts, like, alligator masks on.
unidentified
So he's 55. She's 55. They're fine.
jamie vernon
They just got legally divorced so they could do this business.
andrew santino
She served seven years in prison for that.
joe rogan
I'm happier for that.
Did she really?
andrew santino
Seven years is fucking wild.
joe rogan
That's so stupid.
He was in sixth grade.
What's sixth grade?
Is that 12?
andrew santino
12 or 13. Jesus.
That is a little young.
Oh, he's a DJ in Washington.
We should go see his shows.
I was up in Seattle.
I should have gone up there.
joe rogan
Yeah, it's probably awesome.
It's probably a really good show.
A firebomb goes off, fucking glitter in the air.
It's crazy, bro.
unidentified
The show's amazing.
andrew santino
Dude, it's wild as shit.
joe rogan
He knows how to party.
andrew santino
What do you spin, man?
Whatever I'm feeling, dog.
joe rogan
Kids love that music when they're on the drugs, though.
andrew santino
Dude, when you're on that molly, you can't escape the beat.
joe rogan
How many times have you done ecstasy?
andrew santino
Oh, ecstasy.
I've done...
Two or three times.
Two or three?
MDMA. Because two different things, right?
joe rogan
I think MDMA is ecstasy.
andrew santino
But the old ecstasy that we did in high school was definitely not what it is now.
joe rogan
No?
andrew santino
It was like whatever pill they crushed together of shit from the sink.
joe rogan
They lied to you.
andrew santino
Fuck yeah, that was bad shit.
joe rogan
You got lied to in Chicago.
andrew santino
MDMA was...
MDMA, the first time I ever did it was in London about 10 years ago.
That was the first time I ever even heard of it.
No one said Molly, but this guy was like, Andrew, this guy who lived next door was like, dude, I've got this fucking MDMA, dude.
You've got to try it.
And I was like, all right, whatever the fuck is big, like Jamaican-British dude.
I was like, all right, dude, I'll try this shit.
We went down by the beach and watched this concert, and I was like...
Dude, how do I get this all the time?
He was like, it's limited supply, but I've got more for you.
We did that shit for like four days straight.
I was like, this is the most fun I've ever had.
And then I just stopped doing it for years and years and years.
And I tried it again one more time.
That was it.
Never again.
joe rogan
I only did it once, but it was spectacular.
andrew santino
It's amazing.
joe rogan
The comedown, though, was too strong.
The comedown was devastating.
andrew santino
I was like, this is horrible.
Do you get hard crashes when you do shrooms or no?
joe rogan
No.
andrew santino
You don't crash at all?
joe rogan
No.
I mean, I feel weird, but I'm always so belittled, not belittled, so obliterated by the experience.
It's always like I'm trying to process it.
They're like, I'm barely aware of my physical state.
I'm almost like eating just to like, just because I know I have to get calories in.
andrew santino
You're like, sustenance should be in my body at this point.
joe rogan
Yeah, let me just figure out what the fuck just happened.
You know, it's always like, oh yeah, I knew.
I knew, but I didn't know.
I needed to see it, but I knew.
andrew santino
My crashes were, for some reason, they used to be fucking terrible.
I used to come down off mushrooms and I would feel fucking...
Miserable.
joe rogan
Was it always?
Every time you did it?
andrew santino
Almost, man.
joe rogan
Did you ever think that maybe...
One thing that does happen, apparently, is that sometimes people grow mushrooms, and oddly enough, the mushrooms have fungus that develops on them, and you can get sick from the fungus, and then sometimes people say they have these almost hangover-like feelings because of that.
I have read that.
andrew santino
I've never had a hangover.
I mean, I just remembered a lot of the crashes being like a fucking bummer.
Like, I was like, this is for some reason.
Acid was, the first time I ever did Acid was, I felt like even when I was off of it, it was great.
It didn't fuck with me.
joe rogan
Yeah, I did Acid for the first time last year.
Like, was it last year?
Six months ago?
Something like that?
andrew santino
Did you like it?
joe rogan
Yeah.
Yeah, but it didn't crash me.
I felt weird when it was over.
andrew santino
I did it and I didn't want to do it again.
I remember doing it and being like, eh.
I just didn't want to do it again.
joe rogan
They say the thing about ecstasy, though, is if you take 5-HTP, you got to take that shit while you're on it because it helps rebuild your serotonin.
andrew santino
So it balances it out.
joe rogan
Yeah, because it's the building blocks for serotonin.
Take that.
And it'll help you boost yourself back up when you come through.
That's pretty genius.
Because it gives you this giant burst of serotonin.
You feel so wonderful, but then it depletes.
andrew santino
Yeah, because you drained it.
joe rogan
And it takes a while before it spools back up.
The 5-HTP apparently can help mitigate that.
andrew santino
That sounds like printer ink.
joe rogan
Yeah, it does.
andrew santino
I gotta get the 5-HTP, I guess.
That's so funny, there's like a science enough staying fucking healthy while you're on drugs.
joe rogan
I know.
andrew santino
When I first started doing drugs, it was like, figure it out, dude.
Might chew your lip off.
joe rogan
You gotta drink applesauce.
Home remedies.
Like, you ever have Menudo?
andrew santino
Uh-uh.
joe rogan
Menudo is the Mexican...
andrew santino
Oh, yes.
Oh, yeah.
I'm like, I'm like, I don't know.
I thought it's a drug.
No, you're talking about Menudo.
joe rogan
Menudo is the Mexican hangover cure.
It's fucking great.
You can get it.
There's a legit Mexican joint down the street.
unidentified
Legit.
andrew santino
It's pork, right?
It's pork face, isn't it?
joe rogan
It's a bunch of shit in there.
They have tripe.
andrew santino
Chorizo and shit.
joe rogan
There's like stomach, like pieces of stomach in there.
It's like this brown soup.
There's chickpeas in it.
Not brown, it's like a reddish brown.
andrew santino
It's like a stew soup.
joe rogan
Yeah, like a stew.
It's goddamn delicious.
I love it.
unidentified
It'll knock anything out.
joe rogan
If you can get it from a real place, like a real Mexican joint that has real menudo.
andrew santino
What's the fucking spot up the street should I go to?
joe rogan
I'll show you.
andrew santino
Yeah, you gotta show them.
joe rogan
I know exactly where it is, but I don't know the name of it.
andrew santino
Because I love it.
joe rogan
Something Taqueria.
Oh, it's so good, dude.
Everyone's watching Mexican TV. You go in there, everyone's speaking Spanish.
They look at you like, what the fuck?
How'd you find this place?
andrew santino
What's up, puto?
joe rogan
Yeah.
andrew santino
And you're like, hey, fellas.
joe rogan
They barely speak English.
Barely when you're ordering food.
andrew santino
That's the best.
unidentified
Barely.
joe rogan
And they have to ask you like two or three times.
And you have to explain to them.
And then, you know, you could try.
Try to like, you'll be embarrassed.
Try to say it with a Spanish flair.
andrew santino
Menudo.
joe rogan
Yeah, but it's so good, man.
unidentified
They have horchata, those big horchata vats.
andrew santino
I love the vats, yeah.
If you're going to be a rich Mexican, you want a horchata vat at your house.
joe rogan
You don't think Gabriel Iglesias has one?
andrew santino
He's got a hundred of them.
joe rogan
He's got a giant one, like an oral barrel.
andrew santino
And he wears the helmet with two spouts every morning when he walks around with it.
joe rogan
A horchata helmet!
andrew santino
Excuse me, where's my horchata helmet?
Yeah.
The fluff.
The fluff's got it.
joe rogan
He's like taking time off, that guy.
andrew santino
I mean, he's fucking...
He's a machine.
He's been doing it for so long.
I think he probably needs a little bit of a break, right?
joe rogan
I think he said he just wants to do a bunch of shit now.
Just gonna have some fun.
andrew santino
Just party.
Just do whatever the fuck he wants to do.
Spend some money.
Have fun.
Fuck off.
Buy a boat.
joe rogan
That guy made so much money.
andrew santino
He's got all of it.
joe rogan
People don't even realize how much money that dude made.
andrew santino
But that's why he's so good at what he does because he keeps it on the low.
He doesn't act like he has money.
He doesn't come off that way.
joe rogan
Yeah.
andrew santino
He's real low to the ground with that stuff.
joe rogan
He was doing so many shows.
He has the record number of shows that were sold out at the Ice House.
He did like some crazy run where he was doing three, four shows a day.
andrew santino
It was something on the wall.
How many was it?
joe rogan
What did you say, Jamie?
unidentified
It was bad.
joe rogan
He's back on the roof?
unidentified
He's fucking back.
joe rogan
So he took the time off and jumped back in?
andrew santino
Fluffy is fucking back.
joe rogan
Oh, he's got a new special.
andrew santino
Oh, shit.
Look at all those dates, huh?
joe rogan
He's hustling, dude.
unidentified
Damn.
joe rogan
Look at all those dates.
Every day I'm hustling.
unidentified
Do-do-do-do-do-do.
joe rogan
Do-do-do-do-do-do.
andrew santino
Fluffy fan life, dude.
He's connected, bro.
I'm sorry for what I said when I was hungry.
joe rogan
Damn, he's going to Norway and Sweden, Estonia, United Kingdom, Germany, Belgium, Netherlands.
Holy shit.
Finland, Vegas.
andrew santino
Wow.
joe rogan
He's got a whole European leg of his tour.
andrew santino
Holy shit.
Where's Rone Park, California?
Where's Rone Park?
Rone Hart Park?
joe rogan
That's a good question.
It's a place white people shouldn't go, probably.
andrew santino
No shit.
joe rogan
I'm gonna say that.
andrew santino
Sioux Falls.
joe rogan
Back on the road, baby.
When is your Showtime special?
It's coming out very soon, right?
andrew santino
Tomorrow.
joe rogan
Oh, Jesus Christ, Santino!
andrew santino
Tomorrow!
June 2nd.
We release tomorrow, baby.
joe rogan
What's it called?
andrew santino
Home Field Advantage.
joe rogan
Oh, Jesus.
Did you do it in Chicago?
andrew santino
Did it back home at the Vic Theater, where I used to go watch bands play when I was in high school.
It was so fucking surreal, dude.
unidentified
Wow.
andrew santino
Yeah, Home Field Advantage.
joe rogan
Look at you.
Handsome as fuck, dude.
andrew santino
Looking cute, man.
joe rogan
Strong beard.
Strong beard.
andrew santino
That was when I was shooting the show.
joe rogan
Oh, look at that.
andrew santino
Do you know what that is?
unidentified
What?
andrew santino
Go back.
Two pictures.
Do you know what that's me paying tribute to somebody?
unidentified
Who?
andrew santino
Do you recognize that picture?
joe rogan
No.
andrew santino
Or what I'm doing?
joe rogan
No.
andrew santino
Carol Burnett.
unidentified
Oh, wow.
andrew santino
Did you say that?
Fuck yeah, dude.
Carol Burnett used to fucking touch her ear for her family.
joe rogan
Wow.
andrew santino
This is a trip.
joe rogan
For her family?
She used to touch her ear?
andrew santino
Her grandmother was like...
joe rogan
Touch your ear for me.
andrew santino
While her grandma was like, say hi to Nana on TV. And she's like, I can't do that.
joe rogan
Right.
andrew santino
She's like, they'll fucking fire me.
And she's like, I promise I'll do something.
I'll think of something as a shout out to you.
And she told her a short time later, she was like, I'm going to touch my ear.
You'll know I'm thinking of you.
So she used to do that on TV all the time.
joe rogan
To appease some annoying family members.
andrew santino
Yeah, man, you gotta.
joe rogan
How about you realize, Nana?
I got shit I'm doing up there, okay?
I'm working.
I'm goddamn Carol Burnett.
I went to a restaurant recently.
A couple years ago, I was at a restaurant and she was there.
It was weird.
It's like she was just hanging out at this restaurant.
unidentified
Really?
joe rogan
Eating dinner with some guy.
andrew santino
Just kicking it?
joe rogan
Yeah.
andrew santino
I think she's fucking...
joe rogan
She was genius.
That show, Carol Burnett show, was a great fucking show.
andrew santino
She was brilliant.
Everything about her was so inventive at that fucking time period.
I appreciate that kind of shit so much.
joe rogan
But you also have to realize how crazy it was that someone was willing to invest in a woman running a show like that.
andrew santino
It was unheard of.
joe rogan
It was called the Carol Burnett Show, and it was a sketch comedy show.
andrew santino
Unheard of.
joe rogan
Yeah, I mean, fuck, man.
andrew santino
Look at that, she's doing it.
joe rogan
Tugging on her ear.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Yeah.
It's kind of crazy, man, like, at the time.
andrew santino
So powerful, man.
joe rogan
How few women were like that at the time that had that kind of pull?
andrew santino
I mean, Lucy was the only one of that prior era that had fucking massive influence on Hollywood.
joe rogan
Yeah.
andrew santino
Who could say anything and be like, this is how it is.
And studios were like, uh-huh.
joe rogan
Your show was called I Love Lucy.
I mean, Jesus.
andrew santino
It couldn't have been any other way.
You know what I mean?
For her, it was like, she's like, I am a star.
I'm going to be the star of the show.
I want the fucking intro to be my face, and then show Ricky Ricardo.
joe rogan
I don't even know Ricky Ricardo's name.
How about that?
Who's that Ricky Ricardo guy?
What was his name?
andrew santino
His name is, uh...
joe rogan
Exactly.
That's what I'm saying.
andrew santino
That's so embarrassing.
I do know who it is.
joe rogan
But everybody knows who Lucille Ball is.
What's that dude's name?
unidentified
I honestly thought it was Ricky Ricardo.
That's not his name, bro.
joe rogan
That's the TV name.
unidentified
Desi Arnaz.
joe rogan
Desi Arnaz.
Okay.
unidentified
I'm bad.
andrew santino
I'm so stupid.
I knew that.
joe rogan
I knew that.
I just forgot it.
andrew santino
You're allowed to forget shit like that.
joe rogan
But I wouldn't forget Lucille Ball.
andrew santino
Fuck no.
Can't.
joe rogan
Good goddamn show back then.
And that was back when a white girl was allowed to date a Cuban.
Cubans were very white back then.
Well, that was the only kind of, yeah, it was the only minority she could date on TV. Yeah, like if it was like, if she had a show called I Love Mexicans, and she was dating a Mexican guy, not a Cuban guy.
Cubans are like from Spain.
It's like a Spaniard.
It was thought of as a different thing.
andrew santino
Desi.
joe rogan
Desi Arnaz, a handsome bastard back then.
andrew santino
He was, man.
joe rogan
Do you think he ever banged Lucy?
unidentified
Shh.
joe rogan
No disrespect.
andrew santino
They were married.
joe rogan
I'm saying, do you think he banged her, though?
andrew santino
No.
unidentified
No chance.
joe rogan
They were married in real life, and then they worked together on TV? They were.
andrew santino
They were.
joe rogan
Wow.
andrew santino
Look at that.
The heyday.
joe rogan
Back in the day, man.
You ever watch old TV shows just to get a glimpse of what it was like to be back in that era?
andrew santino
My fucking old man, Andy Griffith, this is their favorite fucking show in the history of television.
My parents watch Andy Griffith every day.
joe rogan
Oh, God.
andrew santino
They're obsessed.
They love that shit.
My dad loves that shit.
joe rogan
They long for nostalgia.
andrew santino
He just thinks...
That, like, that's such an iconic period of time when, like, comedy was pure and clean and the jokes were about life situations that were, you know, there's a town drunk and there's a town whore.
You know what I mean?
It's kind of like everything was such a setup.
joe rogan
But meanwhile, behind the scenes, they were just as freaky back then, if not more freaky.
unidentified
Fuck yeah, dude.
andrew santino
Don Knotts used to stick the cop baton up his own ass right before they shot every day.
joe rogan
Are you sure?
andrew santino
Nope.
unidentified
Look at that picture.
andrew santino
That's the baton going in his ass.
That's why Andy's laughing.
joe rogan
Did you ever hear the Fatty Arbuckle story?
andrew santino
Uh-uh.
joe rogan
Fatty Arbuckle was the big comedian from like the 1930s or the 1940s.
And they had some girl that they were doing something with and someone put a bottle inside of her, like in her vagina, and it broke.
And she died.
andrew santino
Fuck yeah, she died.
joe rogan
Yeah, there was something along those lines.
unidentified
It was a bit?
andrew santino
There was a bit where it was like, we're gonna put a bottle in your pussy?
joe rogan
I don't think so.
I think they were partying.
I think they were going too hard.
And Fatty Arbuckle was a huge star at the time.
andrew santino
Yeah.
joe rogan
And when that woman died, I don't know if he was...
I don't know if he was convicted.
Charged with manslaughter.
andrew santino
He got charged with manslaughter.
joe rogan
Yeah, but whether or not he was convicted.
I don't know if he was convicted.
But his career was over, and then it all dried up for him.
I don't even know if he did it.
You know, I mean, I'm not really sure.
andrew santino
He was probably around for the party.
joe rogan
Most likely.
Yeah.
Hotel room.
Yeah.
andrew santino
She sneezed and the bottle broke.
There he is.
joe rogan
Arbuckle was charged with manslaughter and endured not one, not two, but three trials for the alleged crime.
Not going to go into the nitty-gritty of what went on in each trial, but try to imagine the mismanagement and publicity akin to the O.J. Simpson trial, and you'll be getting close.
andrew santino
Well, then he should have got into it.
joe rogan
Well, who knows?
unidentified
I don't know.
joe rogan
Court TV.
Yeah, there's no court TV coverage But there was a thriving tabloid press and no shortage of bombastic rhetoric the assistant prosecutor for one of the trials Minton Milton oh you Ren Became known for his florid damning description of our buckles lifestyle to wit a Babylonian feast was in process in progress there the defendant had sumptuous quarters with his friends and
Food was spread, wine and liquor were served, and this modern Belshazzar sat upon his throne, surrounded by his lords and their ladies.
There was music, feasting, singing, and dancing.
How do you know?
Were you there?
andrew santino
Yeah, he just said above he didn't want to fucking get into details, and then he explained a bunch of shit.
joe rogan
A modern Belshazzar, the last king of Babylonia, sundered amidst his decadence.
This is some Game of Thrones-esque doomsday stuff right there.
That is an interesting thing that a prosecutor could do back then, that could make that sort of like...
Ridiculous description of the events that took place.
Like, you weren't there.
You actually do not know.
You actually do not know that this is what happened.
andrew santino
That's a big fish story, you know?
joe rogan
So did he wind up going to jail?
You know how many people have stuck bottles up people's pussies and they didn't die and they went whew.
They read that story?
andrew santino
I did it this morning.
joe rogan
If you got like one of those Mexican Coke bottles, those real thick ones, those are hard to break.
andrew santino
Those are hard to break.
You'd have to fucking throw her against the wall or something.
joe rogan
Yeah, if she had a pussy that was so strong and could break one of those bottles, it could probably endure the cuts too.
andrew santino
Oh yeah.
joe rogan
It's like a dense...
unidentified
It killed his career.
Third trial, he just pretty much left Hollywood.
jamie vernon
He was shunned by Hollywood and could no longer find work.
joe rogan
Isn't that crazy that he was acquitted, right?
andrew santino
He got off.
joe rogan
So he was acquitted.
And it's still, yeah, I guess back then, that was it.
It was it, son.
And there was only one machine, you know?
There was no internet back then.
andrew santino
Nope.
He couldn't have had a YouTube page.
joe rogan
Could have made his own YouTube page today.
andrew santino
You see, Fetty Arbuckle put out a special on CISO, man.
It's pretty good.
joe rogan
It's on Epix, but they're going to sell it to Netflix in five years.
How's it working for Showtime?
andrew santino
It was good, dude.
joe rogan
They've got good shows, man.
andrew santino
They did me right, I will say.
Doing this special this Friday, and then the show comes out on Sunday.
So it's like this weekend, they're pairing it together.
And I fucking...
They were great.
They did great by me, man.
I can't fucking say anything negative about that.
The network is the shit right now.
Billions is good for them.
They still are kicking out Shameless.
People fucking love Shameless still.
Bloodline.
I mean, there's a bunch of fucking really good shows.
joe rogan
Yeah.
andrew santino
Showtime's resurfaced as...
Of the premium cable network that it's wanted to be for a long time.
joe rogan
Yeah, I did a Netflix special in 2005 and in 2006 Showtime aired it.
They've put together some good comedy specials.
andrew santino
Netflix and Showtime have some kind of deal because a lot of the times...
Your Showtime shit ends up on Netflix.
They buy out the rights to that.
joe rogan
That would be smart.
You know, if they did that, that would be smart.
unidentified
Well, it's a good move.
joe rogan
It's a good move for everybody.
You know what I mean?
And I hope they also have it available like it's easy to watch online.
You know, where they make it with very few hurdles to be able to watch it online.
andrew santino
Yeah, because you got to give it to people, man, at some point.
joe rogan
Well, not only that, more people find out how good it is, more people watch it, you know, whether it's your show or whether it's your stand-up.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
You know, the more stuff that gets out there, the better it is, right?
andrew santino
Absolutely.
joe rogan
In this crazy day and age.
andrew santino
I hope, yeah.
joe rogan
You've come along in the golden age of the comedy store.
You know that, right?
andrew santino
It's fucking wild, man.
joe rogan
Yeah.
andrew santino
The boom.
joe rogan
This is the boom right now.
We're going through it.
andrew santino
Is the bubble going to pop?
joe rogan
I don't think so, because there's so many funny comedians.
andrew santino
That's the beauty.
joe rogan
Guys like yourself.
There's a lot of guys out there that are really good.
And that are coming up that are really good.
There's real good comedy going on right now.
andrew santino
I know, it's crazy.
I think it's breeding really good comedy.
I think because there's so much great competition and there's so many fucking good people, I think it's breeding for people to be stronger and stronger.
Sometimes I see fucking guys when I'm like, God damn, they're getting so strong.
joe rogan
Well, it's like you see really good stuff around you.
You show up one night, and Chappelle goes up, and then Chris Rock goes on after him.
You're seeing this stuff on a regular basis, and the quality of the comedy that you see is very high.
andrew santino
So high.
joe rogan
You know, when I first started the store in 94, it was a dead zone.
It was just a terrible time.
It was, like, right after the Kinnison boom had ended.
Kinnison left there at, like, 86. Yeah.
You know, and then by the time I came around, eight years later, Kinnison was dead, and the place was weird.
andrew santino
Nobody wanted to be there.
joe rogan
It was weird.
You know, it was weird there for a long time, man.
Especially in terms of, like, talent coming up.
You know, the talent coming up back then, it was just like, it was really poor.
andrew santino
Is this the best you've ever seen it since you started there?
joe rogan
100%.
unidentified
For me, yeah.
andrew santino
It's not even close for you.
joe rogan
Some guys say it was even better early on.
They say it was even better, like, in the 80s.
They say, like, before, like, the Kinison era, like, Dom Herrera especially.
He says that, like, there was a time where they were doing three shows in the main room, two shows in the OR, and they were just rotating.
Fuck.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
But we're pretty close to that now.
andrew santino
I was just gonna say, we're knocking on that door.
joe rogan
That's not that far away.
We do two shows in the main room all the time on the weekends.
We do two shows in the OR all the time on the weekends.
And sometimes, I've done four sets in a night there where I did two shows in the main room, one show in the belly room, and one show in the OR. That's fucking awesome.
It's crazy.
andrew santino
The belly has developed itself into like a real fucking great room.
joe rogan
There's just so much creativity and fun going on there.
That's what it is.
But you know what, man?
The improv's not bad right now, too.
The improv's been really good, too.
It's like comedy's just experiencing a cool little bump.
andrew santino
Yeah, it's wild.
I think people don't know how lucky they are in LA. It's wild, man.
People live in LA and they're like, yeah, how many guys are on tonight?
It's like, well, they're all going to be fucking amazing, so stick around because everyone you're going to see is going to be a fucking good comic.
joe rogan
There's only a couple that suck.
Let's be honest.
andrew santino
Sure.
joe rogan
There's a few.
andrew santino
Sure.
There's going to be a few.
joe rogan
There's a lot of comedy tourism, too.
People are coming here from Ireland, Scotland.
andrew santino
Yeah, that's wild.
joe rogan
It's strange.
Like, we flew over to watch this tour.
Like, what?
Weird.
andrew santino
I hope our show helps that, too.
joe rogan
Fuck yeah, it'll help, dude.
andrew santino
Push the idea of the store being just another fucking iconic piece that people don't know about, you know?
For people that don't give a shit about stand-up, when they see this, I think it'll be more like, oh, fuck, that's kind of cool.
I'd like to go see more of that shit.
joe rogan
Now, are you touring?
Are you going around the world?
andrew santino
What are you doing?
Right now, because we're kind of waiting to hear what Showtime says, if we're going to do this again, then I have to fucking cancel a bunch of dates.
But next week, I go to Austin, Cap City, then I go...
Chicago, Denver, Just for Laughs in Montreal, Raleigh.
So I'm touring a little bit here into the summer, but if we have to shoot again, I have to cancel a bunch of different dates.
joe rogan
No kidding, huh?
andrew santino
Showtime waits until the first episode airs to release any official announcements.
joe rogan
So when does the first episode air?
andrew santino
Sunday, baby.
joe rogan
So if it does well on Sunday, they make a choice right then and there?
andrew santino
It takes a little bit of manipulation time of them deciding what they want to do, but yeah, usually shortly after the first episode, they talk about what's going to happen.
joe rogan
So did you get a chance to watch it?
andrew santino
We did.
We saw it last night.
Last night was a premiere for, like, internal, for critics and shit.
And I was fucking happy.
Jim Carrey said some fucking amazing stuff.
He's an executive producer of the show for...
I don't know if I said that earlier, but...
He said some fucking really dope shit, man.
He said how much this meant to him.
And how...
How people don't really fucking know some of the true history of what that world was like to perform for no money.
And that...
Where there was one...
There was one way in, was Johnny Carson.
It was like, you get on Carson, it was like, you were fucking on the moon, dude.
joe rogan
Wow.
andrew santino
And he talked about how a lot of critics, I guess, got, you know, they got episodes a couple weeks ago, and he said, a lot of you guys have been saying the word dark.
It's not a comedy.
He's like, we never sold it as a comedy.
Never once did we promote it as a comedy.
It's a fucking dramatic show about the world of comedy.
Is that funny sometimes?
Yeah, there's some really funny fucking moments on our show.
But it's about the world that exists.
It's about what it's like to be fucking 23 and hungry and poor as fuck and trying to get pussy and trying to get stage time and trying to figure out what you're doing, who's beating you and...
It's just about fucking life.
The life of a stand-up.
The life of a hustling, hungry, angry, angsty, jealous fucking stand-up.
Because we all go through that shit.
joe rogan
Dude, I'm excited.
I want to watch it right now.
andrew santino
Yeah, yeah.
Dude, I really hope people enjoy it.
I think the first episode is powerful as shit.
Dude, the pilot is insane.
We have Robert Forrester, Kathy Moriarty from Raging Bull.
Melissa Leo is the matriarch of the show.
She plays Goldie, who runs our comedy club.
Who is a variation of Mitzi, but she wouldn't say that.
We're on our own space.
Ari Grainer, Michael Angarano.
There's some fucking bangers on the show.
People that act their mind out.
That are just fucking really good, man.
And I'm jealous.
I sit along with those people and I'm like, fuck me.
These people are really good actors.
joe rogan
That's awesome.
andrew santino
Yeah, Melissa was the best worker.
She won a fucking Academy Award, man.
She won an Oscar for The Fighter.
So it's like being around a fucking human that won an Oscar is crazy.
unidentified
Wow.
andrew santino
It's wild because I never...
joe rogan
Kathy Moriarty was in Raging Bull, man.
andrew santino
Yeah, man.
joe rogan
And she was also on the Dice Clay show.
andrew santino
Yeah.
joe rogan
What was the name of the show?
Bless This House?
andrew santino
Bless This House, yeah.
joe rogan
That's right.
She was Dice's wife.
andrew santino
Alfred fucking Molina.
You know him?
Alfred Molina.
He's the shit.
He's in it, too.
I mean, they've pulled out a few big names, man.
joe rogan
Did you always want to act or did you want to do stand-up or did you want to do both?
andrew santino
Oh, I... When I went to school, I went to school to write, to do journalism in English, and I knew I wanted to write and perform, but I was a pussy about performing in school.
So I did a few plays because I really wanted to be on stage, but I didn't like the idea of plays.
I just wanted to get on stage to, like, get my comfort level up.
joe rogan
Training wheels.
andrew santino
Yeah, dude.
And one of the teachers pulled me aside one day and she was like, you know, you could actually be a good actor if you didn't just fuck around when you got on stage.
And I was like, well, I really want to fuck around on stage.
She's like, well, then why don't you go do that for a living?
And no shit.
I was like, I'm gonna try.
And I knew I wanted to stand up so bad.
And when I moved to L.A., I started in L.A. and...
I was like, I'm either going to sink or swim.
When did you start?
What year?
I moved here at the end of 2006. I lived on a guy's fucking Lazy Boy in Long Beach.
joe rogan
Wow.
andrew santino
And I used to drive up my buddy's truck every single fucking night.
I'd drop him off at the casino.
He was a professional gambler.
I'd drop him off at the casino, take his truck, because I didn't have a car or money, do fucking mics, go to the store and, you know, get intimidated, learn some lessons, and then fucking drive back home, pick him up, and we fell, you know, could get a burrito and do it all over again.
joe rogan
That's wild, man.
So you started really coming to the store when I was gone.
andrew santino
Yeah.
joe rogan
It was like 2007-ish, right?
andrew santino
Yeah, you weren't around.
But your legacy was there.
You know what I mean?
Like, it was like...
We all knew those that came before us and those that we talked about, but it was like, I was right there when you had kind of left that world a little bit.
But it's wild because it was like, I hated this store when I first started, dude.
2006-2007 was fucking awful.
The people above us, none of the older comics were that fucking nice.
The vibe was negative as shit.
There wasn't a lot of crowds.
The open mics were fucking brutal.
They were miserable.
They barely got watched.
You know, it's just so many negative things about that place at the time that we were going through it.
And then it slowly kind of turned into this, you know, what we've seen now, which is just fucking amazing.
joe rogan
What you see now is crazy.
You pull into the parking lot.
It's jammed.
The hallways are jammed with people.
andrew santino
And it makes me smile from fucking year to year.
joe rogan
It's weird, right?
Isn't it weird?
Like it's a different thing.
andrew santino
It's weird.
joe rogan
I've been there since 94, man.
It's never been like this.
This is a totally different thing.
andrew santino
You know what it still does to me?
This is the truth.
You kind of get desensitized to shit, but seeing my name up on the board when it's a packed night, it still gets me like...
I still get excited.
I'm like, that's fucking cool.
I'm a part of this moment in time in comedy.
At that fucking club, in my opinion, the club.
It's just something else, man.
There's something powerful as shit that's...
Sometimes I walk to the club because I live in the neighborhood and I like to walk instead of drive because it helps me get out of my brain.
And every time I fucking walk up, you know, and I see my name up there, there's like a fucking overwhelming feeling.
The moment I see it, it's like, this is...
Soak it in a little bit, because it doesn't last forever.
joe rogan
It's nice to have a place that's like that, too.
To just have one place that stands out as something that means more than just a comedy club.
It's an iconic thing.
There's something about that place that's like, we're at the store.
andrew santino
It's bigger than comedy, man.
It's like a...
It's something big.
It's something fucking special, man.
joe rogan
Well, Polly and I were talking about this and I told them that your mom's one of the most important people ever in comedy.
andrew santino
Period.
joe rogan
Like, ever.
andrew santino
One of the most influential humans in the comedy world.
In the world of what we know today as stand-up comedy...
Yes.
joe rogan
Mitzi Shore.
Like, without her?
Like, stop and think about what other comedy club owner has had the kind of influence, even remotely similar to what she's had.
andrew santino
I would know none of the above.
I mean, I guess the only person that you could bring into that namesake may be Bud Friedman from the improv.
joe rogan
Maybe, because he did Evening at the Improv and he had the monocle and everything like that, but I don't think, in the hardcore sense, it's even close.
andrew santino
Won't be the same.
joe rogan
No.
andrew santino
But yeah, what she did was shape and revolutionize the business that you know today.
joe rogan
She knew how to do it too.
Leave it up to the comedians.
Leave them alone.
And then also give them hard spots.
andrew santino
Make them work for it.
joe rogan
Make them work for it.
andrew santino
That's the best part about that club.
joe rogan
You think someone's funny?
Good.
Put them on after Dice or put them on after, you know, whoever the fuck it was at the time that was killing.
andrew santino
See how funny they are after Richard Pryor.
joe rogan
Exactly.
Yeah, see how funny they are after someone just destroys...
You just gotta go up to this wasteland of the audience.
andrew santino
That's such a testament about that club, too.
joe rogan
It's what they've always done.
You feel it.
I ate plates of shit in that place.
There's just no way around it.
Following everybody.
Following anybody.
I followed Pryor for five weeks.
Fuck!
When Pryor was in a wheelchair, so they would have to carry him to the stage.
It was dark.
andrew santino
You know, it would be really funny if you had to go on, you had to carry him off and then do your set.
They were like, carry him!
joe rogan
Start it from the crowd.
andrew santino
Carry the legend.
joe rogan
Yeah.
But that philosophy that she had that make you work for it, make you sink or swim.
andrew santino
Yeah.
joe rogan
So important.
People that we know to this day that are scared to have tough spots, and we know those people.
andrew santino
Totally.
joe rogan
Will they see somebody like Joey Diaz in the lineup and they're like, I'm going to go for a drive.
I'll be back in a little bit.
They'll let somebody else take their spot, and they come in, and they check, oh, is he up?
Oh, I missed my spot?
Am I on next?
andrew santino
I thought you were just here.
Where'd you go?
joe rogan
Yeah, you hid from Joey Diaz, motherfucker.
andrew santino
The only way to go up after Joey Diaz...
Is to just ride the lightning.
joe rogan
Yeah, you gotta ride the wave.
You have to enjoy him.
You have to have fun.
andrew santino
I fucking love watching him.
joe rogan
Yeah, but that's what I'm saying.
The problem with comics when it comes to those sort of situations is you see someone killing and for some reason you think that's taking away from your ability to be funny.
It's a weird...
andrew santino
It's the opposite.
joe rogan
Yes.
andrew santino
They want you to win with someone.
Let them know that you're there to win again instead of...
Well, I can't fucking...
joe rogan
Follow that.
andrew santino
I'm not going to talk about what Joey's talking about.
joe rogan
This is going to be disappointing.
Don't get your hopes up.
andrew santino
Yeah.
Oh, well, good.
I'm glad you set yourself up.
joe rogan
Yeah.
andrew santino
It's fucking...
joe rogan
You also should be going up laughing.
Like, it should be fun.
Something happens to some comedians along the line where they stop being fans of comedy.
Like, why did you get into this in the first place?
Didn't you like watching it?
andrew santino
Right.
joe rogan
You're going to stop watching it now that you're a pro?
That's crazy.
andrew santino
It wasn't because of all the billions of dollars that you thought you were going to make.
You know what I mean?
Nobody got in and was like, dude, I can't wait to make so much fucking bank on this shit.
joe rogan
Yeah, no one's getting into comedy for that.
Although it can be done, you know, if you're like Kevin Hart, it can be done.
But that's not why you get into it.
But it's like what we were talking about earlier.
It's like people that are trying to get the limelight.
It's that weird, depressing thing.
Versus someone who's just like, I'm just trying to do my best shit.
Just trying to put out my best stand-up product.
andrew santino
I just want to pump out what I'm proud of.
joe rogan
Just hammer that bitch together.
andrew santino
I just want to punch him in the fucking head.
joe rogan
Does the Showtime special have your rock bit?
The bit on the rock?
andrew santino
It's on Showtime right now on the South by Southwest tour that I did.
They do the fucking behind the scenes of South by Southwest and I did a bit at the showcase for South by Southwest and I put it up on there.
joe rogan
Is it in your Showtime special though?
andrew santino
It's not, dude.
It's just on that.
joe rogan
How is that possible?
andrew santino
Because I did that first and Showtime put that up.
joe rogan
So what?
andrew santino
I know I should have done it again.
unidentified
God!
andrew santino
I know.
joe rogan
Oh, that bit's so good!
andrew santino
I should have done it again.
unidentified
Motherfucker.
andrew santino
I thought of you, actually.
I thought of you.
I was like, God, I should have done that, Joe.
I bet you fucking Joe would have said I should have done it again.
joe rogan
Dude, I've told so many people about that bit.
That's a funny bit, dude.
andrew santino
But the beauty is it links to it so it's on Showtime so they can watch my other set.
And all that stuff, that's another 15 minutes that I didn't put in my special that I did at South By.
joe rogan
Oh, really?
andrew santino
Yeah, that I really like.
joe rogan
Let's get that shit on YouTube.
Somebody wink, wink.
Wink, wink, wink.
Somebody knows how to strip things down and move things around.
unidentified
Is that it?
andrew santino
Uh, no.
unidentified
No.
Okay.
joe rogan
What is that?
Say No More?
andrew santino
Is that another CD? That's from my first album.
That's my old album.
joe rogan
When did you put out the album?
What year was this?
andrew santino
It was two years ago.
That was my first album that I put out.
joe rogan
Say No More.
Andrew Santino.
andrew santino
Say No More.
joe rogan
All right, man.
andrew santino
That's not it.
joe rogan
Let's bring this bitch home.
Yeah, baby.
So the show starts Sunday.
That's when it first airs.
andrew santino
I'm dying up here.
Starts Sunday on Showtime.
joe rogan
And if you're a fan of comedy, we definitely want that to keep going.
So let's try to support that thing.
And Andrew Santino's comedy special...
andrew santino
Called Home Field Advantage comes out this Friday tomorrow, baby.
joe rogan
Dude, you're one of my favorite up-and-coming guys.
I think you're a fucking hilariously talented guy.
andrew santino
Thank you, man.
joe rogan
It means a lot to me.
andrew santino
Coming from you, that means a ton, dude.
Thank you, brother.
joe rogan
My man!
b-real
Alright, folks.
joe rogan
We'll be back tomorrow with Brett Weinstein.
And Brett Weinstein is that college professor that is being kicked out of school because...
He's been forced out of school because they actually closed Evergreen College down today because of threats.
The students have taken over the college and he was forced out because he wasn't willing to participate in a white stay home day.
They wanted all white people, all people of white privilege to stay home.
He was like, that's ridiculous.
I'm not going to not teach because I'm white.
And this guy's like a super progressive guy too, which is really crazy.
They're attacking him.
They're screaming in the hallways, hey, hey, ho, ho, this racist teacher has got to go.
They're calling him racist.
We are almost at the breaking point of political correctness.
We're going to talk to Brett Weinstein tomorrow about that.
And he's also a brilliant professor with a lot of other important stuff to talk about.
So we'll see you soon.
unidentified
Bye-bye.
