I have a lot…
- JRJoe Rogan
I have a lot of friends that are Fallout crazies. Boom! And we're live. (laughs) Nick DiPaolo.
- NPNick Di Paolo
Yeah, baby.
- JRJoe Rogan
How are you, my friend?
- NPNick Di Paolo
Good.
- JRJoe Rogan
Good to see you, my friend.
- NPNick Di Paolo
Uh, I can't believe that gym out there.
- JRJoe Rogan
It's nice, right?
- NPNick Di Paolo
With a Porsche parked next to it. You gotta be able to work out where you work.
- JRJoe Rogan
If you do that, you get more in.
- NPNick Di Paolo
Next to your Porsche.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- NPNick Di Paolo
Too bad things aren't working out well for you, Joe.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, I see what you're doing, yeah.
- NPNick Di Paolo
Yeah. I'm not doing anything. You know me.
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- NPNick Di Paolo
I'm right up front.
- JRJoe Rogan
So we were talking before the podcast, and I said, "Save this," 'cause it's hilarious.
- NPNick Di Paolo
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Uh, Randy Credico-
- NPNick Di Paolo
Yes.
- JRJoe Rogan
... who's a standup comedian-
- NPNick Di Paolo
Yes.
- JRJoe Rogan
... has been involved in this Roger Stone thing?
- NPNick Di Paolo
Yes. As you know, Roger Stone this morning, the FBI raided... you know, took him out of his house and his pajamas-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. (laughs)
- NPNick Di Paolo
And... (laughs) Who I love, by... Roger Stone interviewed me on InfoWars. He used to love my radio show on Sirius.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, they asked him, uh, they asked m- me to get him on, and I was like, "Nah, I think I'm gonna duck that one." (laughs)
- NPNick Di Paolo
He... Well, he... But he's fucking eccentric and- and-
- JRJoe Rogan
He's crazy.
- NPNick Di Paolo
... crazy.
- 15:00 – 30:00
Why do you think…
- NPNick Di Paolo
thank you. Yeah. Thanks, brother.
- JRJoe Rogan
Why do you think nothing's gonna happen? You don't think-
- NPNick Di Paolo
'Cause, uh, well, uh, that's not true. I shouldn't say that because, only because I think Mueller's pretty fucking evil and will come up with something. Well, uh, you know, what impeachment at the, at the worst? But where's the high crimes and misdemeanors? What, what...
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, if there was obstruction of justice, if there was collusion, if there was any sort of... If they can prove that there was some sort of concerted effort to undermine democracy.
- NPNick Di Paolo
Yeah, which I, I don't think-
- JRJoe Rogan
If that tries them.
- NPNick Di Paolo
I, I, I don't think they'll get to the, get them. Even with Roger Stone-
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- NPNick Di Paolo
They're not charging him with collusion or conspiracy.
- JRJoe Rogan
Hmm. What are they charging?
- NPNick Di Paolo
Just lying and covering up. They don't, they don't have him for collusion or conspiracy.
- JRJoe Rogan
Hmm.
- NPNick Di Paolo
So...
- JRJoe Rogan
They're lying and covering up the, uh, interactions with Russians, right? Is that what it is?
- NPNick Di Paolo
I, I guess that would be Mueller's angle, yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. You know, Jamie was talking about something yesterday, and I started listening to this recent Sam Harris podcast, and it is fucking fascinating how much Russian troll farms and all these fake accounts, and what they're trying to do. And one, one of the things they're trying to do is... What Jamie was saying was that that kid with the MAGA hat, with the Native American beating the drum in front of him-
- NPNick Di Paolo
Yeah. Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
... the image of that was posted by this website that turned out to be a Russian-
- NPNick Di Paolo
In Brazil.
- JRJoe Rogan
... troll farm.
- NPNick Di Paolo
But it was in Brazil.
- JRJoe Rogan
(clears throat) Was it, Jam?
- NPNick Di Paolo
It was a blogger in Brazil.
- GUGuest
Yeah, it's, uh-
- NPNick Di Paolo
Yeah.
- GUGuest
Dude, I... When they at CNN looked into it, (clears throat) they just kinda asked Twitter, "What's going on with this account?" And by the time they'd asked them, they just suspended the account, so it's gone.
- JRJoe Rogan
But, but you said they suspended the account because the account was a fake account.
- GUGuest
They, yeah, they had, uh, they thought it was just posing as, like, a California teacher.
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm-hmm.
- NPNick Di Paolo
Yeah, her name is Thalia.
- 30:00 – 45:00
Yes. …
- JRJoe Rogan
This was... The way she said it, 'cause it's hate speech. I'm like, "You had... You said that so easily."
- NPNick Di Paolo
Yes.
- JRJoe Rogan
"You've never seen this?"
- NPNick Di Paolo
That's a lot of power.
- JRJoe Rogan
But s- it's also a lot of irresponsible power.
- NPNick Di Paolo
I know.
- JRJoe Rogan
Or irresponsible use of power.
- NPNick Di Paolo
But, but, but, but my point is they're cracking down on people who lean right, whether it's Twitter or-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yes.
- NPNick Di Paolo
You know what I mean?
- JRJoe Rogan
That's 100% true. Yeah. And, uh, that's a big fucking problem. Uh, hate speech. Uh, I'm g- we're gonna let Google decide, uh... What's the name of the company that owns Alphabet? Uh, they're gonna decide what, what... I, I brought that up on, I brought that up on, uh, Tough Crowd years ago.
- NPNick Di Paolo
... about-
- JRJoe Rogan
Wow.
- NPNick Di Paolo
... about when you disagree with a liberal or whatever, and you're arguing with them, they always go, "Oh, you're a hater." They would keep saying that and it, it... That's what it turned into. If you dis- disagreed, you're a hater.
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm-hmm.
- NPNick Di Paolo
Now it's you're a bigot or a racist. If you didn't agree with Obama's policies, you're a bigot or a racist. And, and that shit works. That, that's been working for the left for years, but now that there's social media, Google controls a- almost all the information you and I, you and I hear every day. I mean, that's why it's so dangerous. So look up... Yeah, Prager is a, a, a, is the first example that comes to mind. (clears throat) That guy... (clears throat) Excuse me. Um, uh, yeah, because he's, he's, you know, a Christian or whatever.
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, he's Jewish.
- NPNick Di Paolo
But, but he's not... He... Yeah, he's Jewish, but, but, you know-
- GUGuest
Looking it up, it, it... Unless, unless I'm... What I just read was wrong, they weren't del-... Uh, from YouTube at least, they weren't deleted, they were restricted, put it... Like, meaning like they put behind that, like-
- NPNick Di Paolo
They shut down his show.
- GUGuest
... that, uh, the, the adult thing, like you have to b- have an account that says you're 18 or older or something like that. And they were fighting and having a lawsuit against that saying that (clears throat) what they have in their videos are not... Shouldn't be behind that, like, that wall, whatever that is. They also then this week-
- NPNick Di Paolo
But this is my point, you have to go to YouTube to get the story.
- JRJoe Rogan
Hold on a second.
- GUGuest
No, I'm on their website. I went to a couple of different websites to see it, but they were also, like, yesterday they had ads blacklisted from Spotify. So they had ads that were, I guess, initially approved and now they have been disapproved-
- JRJoe Rogan
It's-
- GUGuest
... and they haven't really explained to them why.
- JRJoe Rogan
Dennis Prager's ads?
- GUGuest
Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- NPNick Di Paolo
Well, he's suing him, so-
- JRJoe Rogan
So, but his page is still up?
- 45:00 – 1:00:00
Yeah, that's not why.…
- JRJoe Rogan
putting the material out, like, right before I was releasing the special. And then afterwards, I decided it was too much of a pain in the ass. But the only reason why I was doing it w- it, it had nothing to do with... She said because they know words can offend.
- NPNick Di Paolo
Yeah, that's not why.
- JRJoe Rogan
And they don't want the consequences.
- NPNick Di Paolo
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, I'm gonna put it on Netflix.
- NPNick Di Paolo
Anyways.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yes.
- NPNick Di Paolo
It's gonna be out to the public. It's dope.
- JRJoe Rogan
It's offensive. It's g- if you're looking to get offended, go watch my Netflix special. There's plenty in there for you. But I, I need to be able to do it correctly. Like, I'm, I wanna work it out so that it has the maximum amount of laughs with a minimum amount of, of people getting it the wrong way, right? So this, it's all about wording and setting it up right and listening to it and going, "Maybe there's a better way." And you can't do that if somebody releases your shit.
- NPNick Di Paolo
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
And so these people that don't know comedy and they're saying this, like, you have no idea what the process is like. You just don't. And if you, if you do, you would respect it and appreciate it.
- NPNick Di Paolo
That's right.
- JRJoe Rogan
And the people that are comics that don't respect and appreciate the process, like, fuck-
- NPNick Di Paolo
That's where we are now.
- JRJoe Rogan
... fuck them. But it's just because people can make an impact, they can have a reaction. Just like the people yelling at her, you know, that, that she said, she said, "Oh, my grandmother would be rolling over in her grave."
- NPNick Di Paolo
Up, up, up. Say they and them! Say they and them!
- JRJoe Rogan
They're just trying to get a reaction from you. They're just trying to push buttons. They're just knowing that they can say something and they can have some sort of an impact. "We're gonna get Louis C.K. banned from here." You know, "We're gonna get Nick DiPaolo kicked out of this club. You can't come to this club. You talk negatively about women and women's empowerment, and that's dangerous to girls."
- NPNick Di Paolo
I only get kicked out of one place and, of course, one of the best clubs in the country.
- JRJoe Rogan
What club?
- NPNick Di Paolo
Denver Comedy Works.
- JRJoe Rogan
(gasps) You got kicked out of the Comedy Works?
- NPNick Di Paolo
Like, 20 something years ago.
- JRJoe Rogan
For what?
- NPNick Di Paolo
Well, there was a bachelorette party ruining the middle guy's set, the, the emcee's set. And then I went up, my second time there, I think. That's a great club, obviously.
- JRJoe Rogan
Great club.
- NPNick Di Paolo
And they started yelling shit out, like, "Take off your shirt, you dick, da, da." And I said, "Can we throw these fat cunts out?"
- JRJoe Rogan
(screams)
- NPNick Di Paolo
And turns out a fat cunt was running the club, so I was, uh, kicked out of it.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, you son of a bitch.
- NPNick Di Paolo
Hey, well, that's how I feel, Joe.
- 1:00:00 – 1:03:35
(laughs) …
- NPNick Di Paolo
five minutes. You go, Joe goes... I thought Joe was gonna go, "Good thing you didn't hit her back." Joe goes, "I would've fucking leg-whipped her."
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- NPNick Di Paolo
Which made me laugh so hard because she's this frail thing and if you leg-whipped her, you would've taken her legs clear off, like a helicopter blade. I was belly laughing for five... If you leg-whipped her, I'm just-
- JRJoe Rogan
Leg kick her.
- NPNick Di Paolo
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
I don't, I don't think I would've said whip.
- NPNick Di Paolo
I thought you said... Okay, well, excuse me.
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, you gotta-
- NPNick Di Paolo
Um.
- JRJoe Rogan
You can't let someone punch you. The, the real problem is, like someone could really damage-
- NPNick Di Paolo
Even a girl?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- NPNick Di Paolo
(sighs) I saw you in the parking lot.
- JRJoe Rogan
Really hurt your eye.
- NPNick Di Paolo
That clip of you in the park. Look, I have a permanent dent in my face.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, yeah.
- NPNick Di Paolo
You can see it. I have a permanent dent. I don't know if she had a ring on. (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Really?
- NPNick Di Paolo
There's a little dent there.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. She probably had a ring on. Yeah, you... Someone could hit you in the eye and you'd lose-
- NPNick Di Paolo
I never went down, Joe.
- JRJoe Rogan
Good for you.
- NPNick Di Paolo
That would've been embarrassing.
- JRJoe Rogan
You, you could lose your vision. I mean, that's 100% possible. It happens to people all the time.
- NPNick Di Paolo
I had a slight concussion. She really fucking f- caught me flush.
- JRJoe Rogan
(sighs) I'm not shocked, especially if you didn't know it was coming.
- NPNick Di Paolo
What, what would you have done?
- JRJoe Rogan
I don't know. I hope I wouldn't have done what I think I would've done.
- NPNick Di Paolo
I know, 'cause you could lose a lot of... I know you get insurance for that, but, but-
- JRJoe Rogan
The, the, my... The real problem is when you're not thinking. When you get hit and then you immediately respond. That's a real problem 'cause look, you've seen that video of that giant six-foot-five guy who punched that 11-year-old girl in the face.
