Everlast returns: new album, touring, and getting healthier
- JRJoe Rogan
(popping sounds) Five, four, three, two... Ladies and gentlemen, l- live and available right now, Everlast, Whitey Ford, House of Pain, you.
- EVEverlast
Yes, sir.
- JRJoe Rogan
How are you, sir?
- EVEverlast
How are you doing, man?
- JRJoe Rogan
Good to see you, brother. What's going on?
- EVEverlast
Good to see you again. Been a minute.
- JRJoe Rogan
It's good. You going to Vegas this weekend for the fights?
- EVEverlast
Yeah, man. We got a little party the night before.
- JRJoe Rogan
Ooh-whee.
- EVEverlast
We're- we're doing a little show at the Brooklyn Bowl with my buddy, Evidence, and- and s- my crew, Cycle Realm.
- JRJoe Rogan
No headphones? You don't wanna wear headphones?
- EVEverlast
No, I'ma put the headphones on.
- JRJoe Rogan
I feel like I'm alone here with the headphones on.
- EVEverlast
There we go.
- JRJoe Rogan
There we go. Now, we're-
- EVEverlast
Now, we're-
- JRJoe Rogan
... now, we're-
- EVEverlast
... now, we're on the same team.
- JRJoe Rogan
... now, we're locked in.
- EVEverlast
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Um, is this out? This is out, right?
- EVEverlast
Yeah. It came out about, uh, three weeks ago, may- something like that, maybe a month.
- JRJoe Rogan
Beautiful.
- EVEverlast
I've been in Europe for the whole month just touring, so...
- JRJoe Rogan
This is like everything. Everlast Presents Whitey Ford's House of Pain.
- EVEverlast
Yeah. It's- it's-
- JRJoe Rogan
A lot going on there.
- EVEverlast
... you know, it's everything in the toolbox I brought to this record, so that's kinda where the title came from. Just, you know, it's been eight years since my last real studio album, so, eh, I figured, "Hey, maybe this could be the last one." I hope not, but-
- JRJoe Rogan
What?
- EVEverlast
... just like, uh, y- you know the- I mean, like, you know the- my story. It's like, you know, with the- the family.
- 1:19 – 3:56
Accountability, therapy, and family pressures (cystic fibrosis)
- EVEverlast
I- w- honestly, it started here because I'm- I- I p- I purposely came here that day. It was the first time, if you remember, and this was a while ago. I done- I've done 1,000 podcasts (laughs) since that day. But, uh, it was the first time I had come out and I started talking about anything, like, you know, that was going on in- in- in my life in a public way.
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm-hmm.
- EVEverlast
And, uh, you know, I had- I- I got a lot off my chest that day, and I also planned that day to- to put myself in a position to hold myself accountable by dis- by stating I- I don't feel good about the way I look right now, and I reached out for- I- like, theoretically, for help.
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm-hmm.
- EVEverlast
You know, and I got an incredible response from the podcast audience and my own fans, and I mean, I got offered from everybody everywhere how to do this, that, and the other. Um, didn't really need that 'cause within my own circle, some people stepped up. And I also did it to hold myself accountable to put it in the universe, like, "I've thrown it out there now."
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.
- EVEverlast
Like, I- I- I- I put it up there on the wall and s-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yep.
- EVEverlast
... and- and stamped it and said, "Here's what I want outta life right now." And-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- EVEverlast
... you know, there's nobody stopping me but me. And sometimes, some of the things I- we used to- you- I used to get on and see you talking about, "I'm not letting this inner bitch kick my ass today." And I- and I-
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- EVEverlast
... just started taking things like that to heart, you know. And again, after-
- JRJoe Rogan
So, what did you- how'd you change? What'd you do different?
- EVEverlast
I mean, I- l- we started talking about it last time. Therapy. You know what I mean? It's helped a lot for me because o- of this, you know, s- the- the- the added pressures our family faces with my- my y- oldest daughter having cystic fibrosis, you know, it just, for a long time, it was just learning how to live life with it. You know, and that got heavy. There was some real dark, you know, heavy moments, you know, scary moments for her in the hospital, you know. So, we ha- I mean, as a human, you know, you have this baby, and you- you're just trying to figure out how to not screw it up with a normal health situation, you know? This is-
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.
- EVEverlast
... this added thing. So, took a long time for me to come to terms. At first, I got really angry. I got into some real, uh, you know, Lieutenant Dan, war with God kinda stuff, you know, at the top of the sailboat flip, you know, as- I was there all the way. And it got to a point where I almost, I was at- I almost got locked up for trying to fight a cop that was, you know, trying to just talk to me about something. You know, I just lost my... I w- I had no r- ... I had so much anger over so much that I wasn't dealing with, and then I found a guy that just really got me, therapist, and- and it- it began the- the- the- the ball rolling of understanding how to- how to cope with a lot of that stuff, you know.
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm. Wow. So, um, as far as like, first of all, you look really good.
- EVEverlast
Thank you, man.
- JRJoe Rogan
Your face- your face looks great. Your skin looks good.
- EVEverlast
Mm-hmm. I'm- I'm taking a lot better care of myself.
- JRJoe Rogan
It looks like it.
- EVEverlast
Thank you.
- 3:56 – 7:29
Training and comeback plans: cardio, clean eating, and returning to jiu-jitsu
- JRJoe Rogan
Are you- what are you doing different as far as like how you eat, or?
- EVEverlast
Um, just eating cleaner. You know, just trying not to, you know, uh, to be more aware of what's in the food and what's in the meat and stuff, you know. I'm still part of the whole commercial meat system, though I- I long to- to- to get it to a situation where I'm hunting and- and doing things like that. It's just-
- JRJoe Rogan
We had talked about that for a while.
- EVEverlast
Yeah, yeah, he-
- JRJoe Rogan
... you wanted to try hunting pigs at, uh, Tejon Ranch, right?
- EVEverlast
Well, I- I s- I asked you what would be a- the best-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- EVEverlast
... you know, starting point, and you were like, "You know, they got boar up there at El Tejon, and I know some guys." And- and I actually contacted them, and I, you know, I- I just, again, this life.
- JRJoe Rogan
You're so busy, yeah.
- EVEverlast
It's not just this. It's this- the- the added stress of like-
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm-hmm.
- EVEverlast
... you know, I have a wife that when I go on the road, she's the sole handler of these problems, you know what I mean?
- JRJoe Rogan
Right, right.
- EVEverlast
And- and so that- these things, you know, pile on you, guilt and this, you know, stress and all this, you know.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- EVEverlast
And, um, so yeah, it's just between that and when I'm home, I just invest myself. I wanna be home. I wanna do as much as I can to lift that weight.
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.
- EVEverlast
So, like, I get caught up by the things- all the things I wanna do, I can't do all the time, you know what I mean? But it started again. Now, I'm taking care of myself. Like, I'm actually about to start jujitsu again, you know, which I've-
- JRJoe Rogan
Really?
- EVEverlast
... I- I- I, yeah, because I- I've forever, I was so f- kind of goddamn fat in the middle, hip escapes were like, you know, every-
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- EVEverlast
... I was hurting my back or my neck every other time I tried to do it. I just quit-
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.
- EVEverlast
... 'cause it was getting ... you know what I mean? I mean, I wasn't super advanced. I was probably pretty close to getting a blue belt, you know. I- I was about a year in on like four lessons a week with just the private, you know. I was with Marcus Vinicius at Beverly-
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm-hmm.
- EVEverlast
... Beverly Hills Jujitsu for a while.
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm-hmm.
- EVEverlast
So now, I'm- I'm- I'm- I'm just looking to see what I wanna do, you know. I've talked to Eddie a few times. I'm talking to a few other guys. Kron has thrown some-
- JRJoe Rogan
Are you, um ...
- EVEverlast
... advice my way.
- 7:29 – 9:49
Living with a titanium heart valve: blood thinners, diet limits, and the "click"
- JRJoe Rogan
... weight. Yeah. Um, are you taking vitamins or supplements or anything along those lines?
- EVEverlast
Uh, like, a daily. Um, but I g-
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm-hmm.
- EVEverlast
... you know, I have restrictions 'cause I take blood thinners and stuff 'cause of this-
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.
- EVEverlast
... titanium heart valve I have.
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.
- EVEverlast
So, like, I have to have a vitamin that's d- devoid of, uh, vitamin K-
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh.
- EVEverlast
... 'cause that's what makes your blood clot. So I, like... A lot of things, like a lot of the juicing things and, like, things like that, when you wanna go on a juice cleanse, I can't do it 'cause it's, like... A lot of it's kale-based and, like, kale is heavy green with a... It's high in vitamin K. It'll totally-
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh.
- EVEverlast
... like, screw up my blood chemistry with... You know, 'cause I'm going the other direction with blood thinners.
- JRJoe Rogan
Damn.
- EVEverlast
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Jesus Christ.
- EVEverlast
I have to. Otherwise, like, a clot could hit, like, stick to that-
- JRJoe Rogan
Ooh.
- EVEverlast
... titanium valve, break off, and wind up in my brain, you know what I mean?
- JRJoe Rogan
Jesus.
- EVEverlast
And then I'm stroked out, and that's the last thing we need.
- JRJoe Rogan
Fuck. Yeah. I remember when you put the microphone up to your heart and you can hear the... (making clicking noises)
- EVEverlast
Yeah. I, I would s- I'm so, so... Like, when I'm in here, I keep feeling like it, you t- you can hear it anyways, like, all through this. I hear it 20...
- JRJoe Rogan
Can you hear it?
- EVEverlast
It's white noise to me. If I wanna hear it, I can hear it. I can take my pulse like this (snapping fingers) just by telling you.
- JRJoe Rogan
Wow.
- EVEverlast
Two, three-
- JRJoe Rogan
You can feel it?
- EVEverlast
... four. Yeah. (laughs) I can hear it in my own skull.
- JRJoe Rogan
Wow.
- EVEverlast
Like, I can hear it in my bones. Like, I can hear it. It's in me.
- 9:49 – 12:06
Future bodies and Elon Musk: flamethrowers, wealth, and tech hype
- JRJoe Rogan
(exhales) Powerful medical te- technology. Eddie Bravo's got a titanium disc in his back now.
- EVEverlast
Yeah. He just had a surgery. That's right.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. His back moves around great. It... Like, he was fully compressed where there was, like, nothing left. It was basically bone on bone. He was in pain all the time, and they just opened him up and put a fake valve in there.
- EVEverlast
That's crazy, man.
- JRJoe Rogan
Or a fake, uh, disc, rather, in there. But it, it's articulating, so it, like, moves around like a regular disc.
- EVEverlast
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Like, he's, his... It doesn't... It's not like he's fused, even if you're seeing people that are all fused.
- EVEverlast
Yeah, yeah. They get the fuse... I have a friend that got that done.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. They're super stiff.
- EVEverlast
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Like, wherever it is, it's basically locked down. There's no movement to it anymore. But Eddie's is, is actually... It moves like a real disc.
- EVEverlast
Yeah. That shit that's gonna be coming down the pipeline-
- JRJoe Rogan
Woo.
- EVEverlast
... is gonna be crazy.
- JRJoe Rogan
Crazy.
- EVEverlast
Man.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. I mean, I know people with fake everything. I know people with fake hips and fake knees and fake butts.
- EVEverlast
Fake heart valves.
- JRJoe Rogan
Fake heart valves. Yeah. Yeah. It's a- m- amazing. I mean, at a certain point in time, they're just gonna replace your whole body and take your brain out-
- EVEverlast
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
... and put it in someone's new body.
- EVEverlast
Or you're just gonna be able to download your consciousness, you know? (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, that's what Elon was saying.
- EVEverlast
Yo, you, your man got in troub- mad trouble.
- JRJoe Rogan
He didn't really.
- EVEverlast
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
It's fake.
- EVEverlast
That was... They've made... It just made some noise, man.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. But here's the deal, dude. When you got $25 billion, all trouble is bullshit.
- EVEverlast
Truth.
- 12:06 – 20:08
Fight weekend in Vegas: walkout songs, superstition stats, and gambling freedom
- JRJoe Rogan
(sighs) So, uh, you looking forward to the fights this weekend?
- EVEverlast
I'm, I'm, super jacked for it, man. I... you know, we got this little show before.
- JRJoe Rogan
Is anybody coming out to Jump Around?
- EVEverlast
Um, I don't know.
- JRJoe Rogan
They have to.
- EVEverlast
They, they… You know. I'm waiting for Conor to, you know...
- JRJoe Rogan
How does he not-
- EVEverlast
I don't know. You know what I mean?
- JRJoe Rogan
... adopt that song? Well, he comes out to Sinéad O'Connor, right?
- EVEverlast
Like, he does, like, usually, like, that into, like, the Notorious, like-
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.
- EVEverlast
... song. Like-
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.
- EVEverlast
... the... you know the-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- EVEverlast
... I don't know. << The Notorious >>
- JRJoe Rogan
Right. Yeah.
- EVEverlast
Or...
- JRJoe Rogan
Who was coming out to Jump Around? Marcus Davis did.
- EVEverlast
He did. I know, uh, uh, Cavillo, that, that, the, the female fighter. Uh, she's fights-
- JRJoe Rogan
Cynthia Cavillo?
- EVEverlast
Yes. Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- EVEverlast
Cavillo. Thank you.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- EVEverlast
I know she comes out to Jump Around.
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.
- EVEverlast
I met her at a fight. She was super cool. She was super, super, super cool.
- JRJoe Rogan
Quite a few people have come out to it.
- EVEverlast
Yeah. I think Machida came out to it once.
- 20:08 – 28:36
Whiskey talk and Sober October updates (plus a rant about ripped jeans)
- EVEverlast
I wanna try this whiskey, honestly, that he's got. I, I gotta, I gotta, I gotta-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, you're a whiskey expert, right?
- EVEverlast
Yeah, I wanna, I wanna lay hands on it and see.
- JRJoe Rogan
What's a good whiskey?
- EVEverlast
I was, I actually was gonna bring you a bottle of this.
- JRJoe Rogan
Uh-huh.
- EVEverlast
And I will next time, but I didn't because of out of respect-
- JRJoe Rogan
Sober October.
- EVEverlast
... for Sober October.
- JRJoe Rogan
Sober October may be falling apart, I'm gonna tell you right now.
- EVEverlast
Well-
- JRJoe Rogan
Ladies and gentlemen, Bert Kreischer's going on a cruise and Ari Shaffir and Tom Segura both gave him the green light to, uh, drink because, uh, this fitness challenge is falling apart. Meanwhile, Bert is strongly in last place. Yeah, all that talk about the Mickey Mantle gene, he's not even close. But what's, what's fascinating is Ari Shaffir is very close to me. He's only, he posted today before my workout, that sneaky bitch, that he was ahead of me. But that's how close he is. He's so close that before his workout, he was like 100 points ahead of me. Before my workout rather, after his. Now he's like 400 points behind me. But that's, uh, that's close. 400 points is one workout. If you're a- an asshole and you wanna get on a fucking treadmill for two hours, you can bang out 400 points. I banged out 500 today. 507 at the end of the workout.
- EVEverlast
You're a beast, dude.
- JRJoe Rogan
It's not a beast, man. It's boring.
- EVEverlast
Redbreast.
- JRJoe Rogan
I was watching, I was watching, uh, Gladiator. There's little red spikes in my workout where I hit 90 per- that's when the fights were happening. I got amped. (laughs)
- EVEverlast
(laughs)
- JVJamie Vernon
You might end up doing podcasts while you're on a, uh, elliptical at the end of the month.
- JRJoe Rogan
Eh, it would suck.
- EVEverlast
Redbreast is my favorite new whiskey.
- JRJoe Rogan
Redbreast?
- EVEverlast
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Who makes that?
- EVEverlast
It's Redbreast. It's the, it's like an Irish whiskey.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh.
- EVEverlast
Get the, I'm gonna bring you a bottle of the 20 year old. It's, it's gorgeous.
- JRJoe Rogan
20 years old?
- EVEverlast
Yeah, yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Ooh.
- EVEverlast
It's beautiful.
- 28:36 – 36:21
Kanye, Kardashians, and monetized spectacle: fame as an attention economy
- JRJoe Rogan
Did you see Kanye jumped on the table at a University?
- JVJamie Vernon
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Was talking about leaving Elon Musk alone.
- EVEverlast
That dude has lost his mind, man.
- JRJoe Rogan
What is going on?
- EVEverlast
I don't know, man. I, I... You know, there's a lot of people that speculate and that's all I would say this is from me.
- JRJoe Rogan
This is-
- EVEverlast
But ever since that man's mother died, he's been on a downward spiral, like losing his shit.
- JRJoe Rogan
Well-
- EVEverlast
Uh, you know, I think he's suffering from some serious, like mental shit.
- JRJoe Rogan
No bullshit. He did get into a serious car accident, right?
- EVEverlast
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
Broke his jaw.
- EVEverlast
Yeah, yeah. Before that.
- JRJoe Rogan
He was seriously injured.
- EVEverlast
Yeah. Long... A few years before that, yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
That, that is not a joke.
- EVEverlast
No.
- JRJoe Rogan
Like brain trauma and you... Listen, I'm not a doctor or anything even remotely related to one, but I've been around a lot of people who've been hit in the head a lot. That shit's real. Like that, that will change your brain chemistry. It's 100% legit. Like getting hit in the head is no bueno. And car accidents will fuck people up forever. Some people. Some people are okay, they get... They recover. But boy, there's a lot of people that come back from some significant head trauma and just... They're scrambled, man. And he might be one of those. And it also might be what I talked about in my last special, Triggered. But you live with crazy bitches long enough-
- EVEverlast
Yeah, I remember that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
... they get to you. Something happens.
- EVEverlast
You were talking about the soul-stealing succubi. (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs) Yes. It might be true.
- EVEverlast
Dude, that was an amazing routine. I gotta tell you.
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, I was trying to figure out a way that I could get away with making fun of Bruce Jenner without being called transphobic.
- EVEverlast
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
So I had to go a circuitous route.
- EVEverlast
It, it was brilliant.
- JRJoe Rogan
I had to go a long route-
- EVEverlast
Saw you do it at con... At the com...
- 36:21 – 42:55
Dark history tourism: catacombs, bone churches, Pompeii, and volcano fears
- JRJoe Rogan
They figured out a lot of shit. Have you ever been to Paris?
- EVEverlast
Oh, I love Paris. It's one of my favorite cities.
- JRJoe Rogan
Did you ever go to that place underneath it has all the skeletons?
- EVEverlast
No, I have not been to the Catacombs. Friends of mine have gone though.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. I wanna go, man. I wanna go and see that.
- EVEverlast
Yeah. You can get tours and all kinds of shit like that.
- JRJoe Rogan
What was that, the people that died in the plague, is that what it is?
- EVEverlast
I think so.
- JRJoe Rogan
And they just buried them?
- EVEverlast
Yeah, they, you know, the, um, the church, like wh-... put 'em all in, in the catacombs.
- JRJoe Rogan
Do you know at one time, Paris had a wolf problem and people were getting killed by wolves?
- EVEverlast
In recent history?
- JRJoe Rogan
The 1400s.
- EVEverlast
Oh, okay.
- JRJoe Rogan
Look at that. Wow. Look at those pictures of all those skulls. Yeah, there's a crazy story about the wolves in Paris.
- EVEverlast
But I have been to a place that re- whenever I see pictures of this, it reminds me, there's a place in-
- JRJoe Rogan
Wow.
- EVEverlast
... I wanna say ... What country is Prague? The Czech Republic? I think it's, it's called Kutna Hora, K-U-T-N-A H-O-R-A. It's like a church that's built-
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, I've seen that.
- EVEverlast
... of sk- like thousands of people's skeletons, man.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- EVEverlast
It's crazy. Yeah. There it is, dude.
- JRJoe Rogan
That's it. What?
- EVEverlast
That place is bananas, man.
- JRJoe Rogan
Did you go to that too?
- EVEverlast
Oh, no, I've been there. I haven't been to the catacombs.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh my God.
- EVEverlast
But I'm saying whenever I see pictures of the catacombs ... But this place is like an entire church decorated and then they have like little dens or like places-
- JRJoe Rogan
Ugh.
- EVEverlast
... like altars. It's like thousands and thousands. Those are like vertebrate. There's spine. Oh, no. There's another one where it's like all spines-
- 42:55 – 48:59
Vatican awe to organized religion critique: power, scandal, and the Golden Rule
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. That's my feet right there. So you're in this church, the church is 1,000 years old, and that... Go back to that last one, Jamie. That one, that's, that's the glass floor, and then you look down and they have this entirely different church underneath it that's way older. They don't know how old it is. Been there forever. Could be several thousand years old. The church is gorgeous, though. There's a lot of those churches in... Have... You've been to the Vatican, right?
- EVEverlast
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
That's the mind-fuck of all mind-fucks.
- EVEverlast
Yeah, that's crazy.
- JRJoe Rogan
Like St. Peter's Basilica, when you're walking around that place and you're just like, "What?"
- EVEverlast
Yeah, it's amazing.
- JRJoe Rogan
Like, "Who... How? How did people do this?"
- EVEverlast
It's retarted, man.
- JRJoe Rogan
It's un-
- EVEverlast
That whole-
- JRJoe Rogan
... unbelievable.
- EVEverlast
The whole Vatican just-
- JRJoe Rogan
No, no power saws.
- EVEverlast
Nothing.
- JRJoe Rogan
No, no fucking cranes. Everything was, like, ladders and shit.
- EVEverlast
And the paintings and the art-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- EVEverlast
... just insane.
- JRJoe Rogan
Stunning.
- EVEverlast
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Stunning. Billions of dollars worth of art. And the whole area, the whole Vatican is essentially its own country.
- EVEverlast
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
So they can keep those kid-fuckers over there and they never have to export 'em.
- EVEverlast
Yeah. That's, that's...
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. Yeah. That's the darkest of the dark.
- EVEverlast
No argu- no argument here. (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Nobody can, man. They, they'll try. People get mad. And look, I get it, I was a Catholic for a little bit. That's a dark, dark institution. There is no denying it. I mean, they just, they've just busted another group of priests in, in, uh, Pennsylvania. Molested more than 1,000 kids.
- EVEverlast
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Moving 'em around-
- EVEverlast
I mean-
- 48:59 – 55:49
Politics as theater: Kavanaugh hearings and biopics rewriting history
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, but the problem is there's so many people that just... The, uh... And we're, we're seeing this with politics, right? Like, I'm, I'm fascinated by these Kavanaugh hearings. Like, I'll watch little clips of it before I just have to tune out and talk the fuck away-
- EVEverlast
Talking about fuckery.
- JRJoe Rogan
Fuckery. Talk about fuckery.
- EVEverlast
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
I mean, I don't know what that dude did or what he didn't do, but I think what's happening is more than that. What's happening is, first of all, he's involved with, uh... He was a big part of the Patriot Act. He was... You know, he's involved in some, some issues that a lot of people are very concerned with, in terms of, like, how... His position and his stance on privacy and on rights and-
- EVEverlast
Absolutely.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. There's, there's more to it than just, "Did you fuck with someone in high school? Did you sexually assault someone? Did you do that when you were 18? Did you... Do you remember?" Like, there's more to it than that. There's, there's like... They don't want that guy in there. And then you're seeing all the people that want to pretend that he's the best guy ever and all the people...
- EVEverlast
It's crazy ness, man.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. It's fascinating. It's really fascinating. It's fascinating to watch because it's essentially like a, a less... Like, the, the Clarence Thomas hearings from, was it like the 1980s, I believe? Clarence Thomas. I feel like that was like-
- EVEverlast
Late '80s, early '90s.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, somewhere around there. Clarence Thomas, that was like with Anita Hill, where he had sexually harassed her. They were working together and she came-
- EVEverlast
Yeah, the whole pubic hairs on the whatever, Coke or something.
- JRJoe Rogan
Do you know that he's now the longest running, um, member of the Supreme Court?
- EVEverlast
I-
- JRJoe Rogan
He's n- he's now been in the Supreme Court longer, I think... I read that. Check to make sure that's true.
- EVEverlast
Isn't Ruth Greater Gins- uh, Bader Ginsburg, hasn't she been there longer?
- JVJamie Vernon
She's the longest serving, 26 years as of October 4th, it will be.
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm-hmm.
- EVEverlast
Oh, wow.
- JRJoe Rogan
It will be. Yeah.
- EVEverlast
Crazy.
- JRJoe Rogan
Crazy. Yeah, so it didn't work. Anita Hill is out there living with the memory of pubic hairs on Coke.
- EVEverlast
Yeah. And a movie now, an HBO movie not too long ago.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, yeah. Did you watch it?
- EVEverlast
I saw it. It was, it was-
- JRJoe Rogan
Was it okay?
- EVEverlast
It was a pretty good movie. It was just... You know. We lived through it, so it's like, it's like whenever I see movies about like the OJ trial or something-
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.
- EVEverlast
... and I'm like, "No, I saw the... We saw it live-
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.

Movies that wreck your mood, DJ Khaled catchphrases, and the value of comedy
- EVEverlast
I played myself once on tour. I fucking... It was like back when you got D- When the ever- when the Tower Records and those things were still around. Like, on Tuesdays, the movies and the records-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- EVEverlast
... would all come out. So we were on tour, we would stop and buy a bunch of shit for the bus, buy records and this. I bought a bunch of movies and I threw on Magnolia, had just come out.
- JRJoe Rogan
Ooh.
- EVEverlast
I watched that and I was like, "Oh wow, that was fucking fucked up."
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- EVEverlast
And then without looking, I just grabbed the next movie and put it in, and it was Titus Andronicus. And I don't know if you're aware or like hip to this, it's like one of the darkest fucking Shakespeare fucking plays ever about this... I mean, you... I ju- go s- if you ain't seen it-
- JRJoe Rogan
What? I want-
- EVEverlast
... when, when you got the wherewithal to sit through some real fucking darkness, Anthony Hopkins is fucking insane in this movie as Titus Andronicus.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh.
- EVEverlast
It's, it's fucking dark. So I watched these two movies back to back and for T- two weeks, Joe, I can't shake the like, just depressing-
- JRJoe Rogan
The imagery?
- EVEverlast
... like, oh my God, there's no happy endings anywhere. The world's a- yeah. (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Ugh.
- EVEverlast
From then on, I'll only watch comedies and fucking like, Pixar movies (laughs) and old Warner Brother cartoons out there on the road, man.
- JRJoe Rogan
Is he eating dinner while people are hanging in front of him?
- EVEverlast
Um, I... Do you, uh, do you wanna know?
- JRJoe Rogan
No.
- EVEverlast
You're never gonna watch this, right? He's about to cut them up and make dinner out of them and serve them-
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh.
- EVEverlast
... to his own, to their families. Like, it's, it's dark, man.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, Jesus.
- EVEverlast
It's, it's really dark. It's one of the dark... It is the darkest Shakespeare, like, thing I've ever read or seen.
- JRJoe Rogan
Okay, that's enough.
- EVEverlast
And that was right after Magnolia, I watched that. (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Man, a double whammy-
- EVEverlast
Double whammy-
- JRJoe Rogan
... of depression.
- EVEverlast
... dude. Oh, it was horrible.
- JRJoe Rogan
Remember that movie 21 Grams?
