Five, four, three, two,…
- JRJoe Rogan
Five, four, three, two, one. (heart beating) Dude, it seemed like we just did this.
- BKBert Kreischer
It does feel like-
- TSTom Segura
(laughs)
- BKBert Kreischer
... pretty recent.
- JRJoe Rogan
How was it a year ago?
- BKBert Kreischer
I don't know.
- TSTom Segura
I don't know.
- JRJoe Rogan
It's already October. I'm scared. Let's just fucking spark up a joint and bill right now.
- BKBert Kreischer
What?
- TSTom Segura
(laughs)
- BKBert Kreischer
No.
- JRJoe Rogan
With these fat blunts.
- BKBert Kreischer
One of them Backwoods.
- JRJoe Rogan
Smell one of these Backwoods. These are so good. Just smell it, just smell it.
- TSTom Segura
Whoa.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- TSTom Segura
You know everyone was commenting on your-
- BKBert Kreischer
Let me see that.
- TSTom Segura
... blunt rolling technique after the Elon Musk thing?
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, I don't roll them.
- TSTom Segura
I know they were like... And I knew that. And they were like-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- TSTom Segura
... "Oh, what is he... He just, he can barely roll a blunt." And I was like, "It's professionally rolled. It's a pretty r- good blunt."
- JRJoe Rogan
You can't read those comments.
- BKBert Kreischer
That does smell good, man.
- JRJoe Rogan
That smells so good. They taste good too. Those are, those are phenomenal. The, I l- I'm a blunt man. You know, I know it's probably bad for your lungs, but there's something about the tobacco gets you a little high up and then the marijuana sort of like-
- BKBert Kreischer
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
... spreads you out and it puts you in like a new dimension.
- BKBert Kreischer
Yeah, that's-
- JRJoe Rogan
I like it.
- 15:00 – 30:00
Yeah. …
- JRJoe Rogan
are just drunk and everyone's terrible, so you're just laughing at basically anything.
- BKBert Kreischer
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
You know.
- BKBert Kreischer
I think it does- it like-
You can laugh... Someone can tell by how bad they are, you know. (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, for sure. (laughs)
- BKBert Kreischer
People are just like slamming the table-
- JRJoe Rogan
Peter Chen made a almost career out of that.
- BKBert Kreischer
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. Peter Chen. He was a guy who was so bad, um, I... Chris Maguire was auditioning, uh, for Mitzy, and, uh, Peter t- Mitzy thought it was funny 'cause M- Mitzy was so hilarious. She thought it was funny that one of the worst comics in LA, don't pull this picture up-
- BKBert Kreischer
(laughs)
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
... he was hosting the open mic night.
- BKBert Kreischer
Really?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. She thought it was funny and, but I knew that Maguire was gonna have to audition for Mitzy, so I said, "Fuck that." So I called up the store, I said, "I'm hosting." I said, "I'll host an open mic night." And so I came down and host- hosted the open mic night just, just to keep him from hosting it.
- BKBert Kreischer
That's great.
So you did that like as a save for your buddy?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yes.
- BKBert Kreischer
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, 'cause I knew he was gonna, uh, y- you know, there's a, you, there would be too much to address and you have three minutes. There'd be too much, too much chaos to address.
- BKBert Kreischer
I hosted a show as a favor one time and ended up snapping on a lady in the audience. (laughs)
(laughs)
And ruined the show. And they were like, "Thanks."
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- BKBert Kreischer
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Why did you, uh-
- BKBert Kreischer
Dude, 'cause I arri- it was a showcase for Montreal and I arrived at the show before it, right? So there's like a seven o'clock thing and then the nine o'clock showcase. And they asked me to, to host it-
(laughs)
... and the, and a lady at the seven o'clock show, at the earlier show is in, like, the front row just yelling out drunk. And she's older and she's like, "Yeah," like, tagging every comic's thing, commenting on it-
(sighs)
- 30:00 – 45:00
I don't know, man.…
- BKBert Kreischer
- JRJoe Rogan
I don't know, man. I'm trying to figure out what to do. I've always had that.
- TSTom Segura
Do both numbers go to that same phone?
- JRJoe Rogan
No, but the other thing about the new iPhone that Jamie was telling me is that you can, um, you can have two different phone numbers. Were you telling me that? No, Brian was. You can have two different phone numbers on the iPhone.
- BKBert Kreischer
On the new one.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- TSTom Segura
Oh, yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
It can take, it takes like a second card. So say like if you have a business line-
- BKBert Kreischer
Oh, that's-
- JRJoe Rogan
... and a home line-
- BKBert Kreischer
Great.
- JRJoe Rogan
... and then you take that SIM card out for the business line or you disable the business line. And you're like, "Fuck you."
- BKBert Kreischer
(laughs)
- TSTom Segura
Oh. Ooh.
- JRJoe Rogan
And then you don't get business calls. So say like if you have a phone that only like your best friends, your wife-
- BKBert Kreischer
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
... have, and then the next is like agents and other bullshit.
- BKBert Kreischer
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
... but, uh-
- BKBert Kreischer
Or you just set up a whole decoy number, for like people you don't wanna have your number.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, that's good. Yeah.
- TSTom Segura
Jesus.
- JRJoe Rogan
But you can also do something like that with, um ... What is that thing? Um, (smacks lips) there's a (taps table) Google Voice, right? Doesn't Google Voice have some shit like that?
- TSTom Segura
Yeah, you can have a separate ph- ... That's the th- ... You can have that-
- BKBert Kreischer
(clears throat)
- JRJoe Rogan
... rerouted to your phone number-
- TSTom Segura
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
... and have like a business line kinda thing. Look, look at this. This thing, (music plays) it works as a remote control, so check this out. I'll crank it up.
- TSTom Segura
You take pictures with it too, right?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yep. Oh, yeah.
- 45:00 – 1:00:00
That is. That's wild,…
- JRJoe Rogan
- BKBert Kreischer
That is. That's wild, man.
- JRJoe Rogan
Dude, that... And there's the upper deck. That-
- BKBert Kreischer
Holy shit.
- JRJoe Rogan
... it doesn't seem real and it just happened.
- BKBert Kreischer
And you, you did this in the same night, uh, Burr did The Forum.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- TSTom Segura
20,000.
- BKBert Kreischer
Yeah. Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
No, it's-
- BKBert Kreischer
No, uh, Burr didn't-
- JRJoe Rogan
No, The Forum's not 20,000. The Forum's-
- BKBert Kreischer
Bill Cir-
- JRJoe Rogan
... is 9,000. The Western Forum?
- BKBert Kreischer
The Great Western Forum? I don't know where it is.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- TSTom Segura
I don't... The thing online said it was 20,000 people.
- JRJoe Rogan
I think they're wrong 'cause Dean Delray said it was 9,000.
- BKBert Kreischer
Okay.
- JRJoe Rogan
I think they just made a mistake. But it's huge either way. It's-
- BKBert Kreischer
It's huge.
- TSTom Segura
So I was thinking last night, and I know you... I know that you're not like this. I... You know, you're a little bit like this. But to compare different times of comedy, right? Um, and compare people. And I know you don't like comparing people, but has there ever been a time in comedy where this many acts were selling arenas, this many acts were selling theaters, and this many acts were selling out clubs?
- JRJoe Rogan
I don't think so. Well, well, Burr sold out Madison Square Garden, which is way bigger than that. Madison Square Garden I think is 18,000.
- BKBert Kreischer
That's true.
- JRJoe Rogan
How about this? Sebastian is ready to sell four sh-... He's already sold out three.
- BKBert Kreischer
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
He's... They opened up a fourth show at Madison Square Garden.
- BKBert Kreischer
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Just stop and think about that.
- BKBert Kreischer
Yeah.
- 1:00:00 – 1:01:56
Yeah. …
- JRJoe Rogan
acts, help out other comics.
- BKBert Kreischer
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
And as, as you rise up, they'll do the same, they'll do the same for the other guys. And you see them doing that for, they'll tell, start taking guys with them on the road.
- BKBert Kreischer
Spread it around. Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. And look, man, who do we like more than comics and where, what do you, who do you wanna hang out with more than comedians, you know?
- BKBert Kreischer
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
And, and, like, they're, we're the most fun for us to hang out with. We're, we could say ridiculous shit and then we'll laugh at it. We won't, like, "Well, I don't know why you said that, Tom. You shouldn't have called that lady a cunt, especially not her friend."
- TSTom Segura
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
And then, you know, "I think you owe her son an apology. I mean, if I was her son, I would've clocked you."
- BKBert Kreischer
Yeah.
- TSTom Segura
(laughs)
- BKBert Kreischer
Yeah, it's like-
- JRJoe Rogan
And people wouldn't think it's funny.
- BKBert Kreischer
Of course.
- JRJoe Rogan
If you were working at Xerox and you said all that, people would, you know, they'd bring you into HR.
- BKBert Kreischer
You're a liability. We gotta let you go.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, yeah.
- BKBert Kreischer
We gotta let you go.
- TSTom Segura
(laughs)
- BKBert Kreischer
It's true. I know. And those are the worst people that, to, like, get stuck at a dinner with or something. You know?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- TSTom Segura
Oh.
- BKBert Kreischer
You're like, "Oh, shit."
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- BKBert Kreischer
Somebody-
- JRJoe Rogan
You just gotta torture them.
- BKBert Kreischer
Yeah, it's the worst.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. I used to feel terrible when I was around those people. I used to, I used to feel like there's something wrong with me. You know?
- BKBert Kreischer
Yeah. 'Cause, yeah, of course.
- JRJoe Rogan
Real stuck up, super conservative people.
