EVERY SPOKEN WORD

  1. 0:0015:00

    Will you go through…

    1. MY

      Will you go through all three of those? (coffee machine clicks)

    2. JR

      No. (coffee machine clicks) No.

    3. MY

      Oh, okay.

    4. JR

      No. One other one is for you.

    5. MY

      Oh, okay, good.

    6. JR

      Just in case you wanted two.

    7. MY

      Good.

    8. JR

      (laughs)

    9. MY

      (laughs) 'Cause all yo- that's a beast.

    10. JR

      Ridiculous.

    11. MY

      You're a fucking beast goin' through three co- (laughs)

    12. JR

      Oh, we're live.

    13. MY

      (laughs)

    14. JR

      (laughs)

    15. MY

      That's like-

    16. JR

      You're a beast. We're tryna figure out how much... I think these are 270 milligrams of caffeine. If you drank three of these, Jamie, that would kill you, right? That would kill you?

    17. NA

      Uh, no.

    18. JR

      No.

    19. MY

      Wouldn't kill you.

    20. JR

      It would fuck you up.

    21. MY

      I thought you walked in with three coffees. I was like-

    22. JR

      Oh, I just- (laughs)

    23. MY

      ... "Goddamn, Rogan, you're gonna die. Like straight up die after the show."

    24. JR

      No. One is for you.

    25. MY

      Okay.

    26. JR

      And, uh, hopefully we won't need both... Well, I- I don't know. I've, I've drank both of them before on a show-

    27. MY

      I, uh-

    28. JR

      ... which is like 500 plus milligrams.

    29. MY

      I'm addicted to coffee, though, man. I will just drink it. When I'm- I don't even need a high.

    30. JR

      I love it.

  2. 15:0030:00

    It's a foolish insecurity.…

    1. MY

      man. It was a different time.

    2. JR

      It's a foolish insecurity. 'Cause if you say you love you, if you say I love you to someone, um, either they love you back and it feels great, or they don't and you don't hang out with them anymore.

    3. MY

      (laughs) It's so true. You ever say I love you to somebody-

    4. JR

      It's fucking easy.

    5. MY

      ... and they're like, "Eh."

    6. JR

      Well, I, I reserve it for people that I love. And usually they love you too.

    7. MY

      Yeah.

    8. JR

      Unless you're, there's something wrong with your wiring.

    9. MY

      Yeah.

    10. JR

      Unless you're looking at it wrong, you know?

    11. MY

      Yeah, I, no, that's never happened to me, Joe-

    12. JR

      But I-

    13. MY

      ... where I've told somebody I loved them and they said n- nothing back.

    14. JR

      It can happen, is it, dudes clam up sometimes. Tell a friend you love them. "Hey, I love you, man." They go, "Yikes."

    15. MY

      Yeah. (laughs)

    16. JR

      (laughs)

    17. MY

      This is not for me. Where does...

    18. JR

      This is too weird, man. I grew up in Nebraska.

    19. MY

      But I think it's also a young dude thing too. When you're young, you know, you're macho. You don't wanna say I love you to another dude.

    20. JR

      Yeah, for sure.

    21. MY

      Now when y- when you get older, like...

    22. JR

      Especially if you living in Nebraska.

    23. MY

      Yeah.

    24. JR

      Nebraska. I'm just kidding, Nebraska.

    25. MY

      (laughs)

    26. JR

      Don't get uptight. Somebody sent me a box of Nebraska T-shirts 'cause I shouted Nebraska once.

    27. MY

      Like the Cornhuskers?

    28. JR

      Like, listen, son, I ain't wearing that. Look. (laughs)

    29. MY

      (laughs) My, my wife's father is from Nebraska.

    30. JR

      Is he?

  3. 30:0045:00

    (laughs) I'm dumb. I'm…

    1. JR

      (laughs) Jamie's my ... That's my translation of dictionary. (laughs) I, uh ... I'm pr- They both come from L-

    2. MY

      (laughs) I'm dumb. I'm dumb, so there you go.

    3. JR

      But anyway, this cheese that we would use was disgusting. It smelled so bad, but apparently it tastes really good if you're into that kinda cheese.

    4. MY

      Mm-hmm.

    5. JR

      Like, Bourdain was really into stinky cheese. Like he would talk to me about it like with passion, like the- just the l- the fucking stinkier, the better. Like disgusting smelling cheese, and the taste is fantastic. I'd be like, "Wow." I would think that the smell would fuck up your taste buds.

    6. MY

      Would turn you off. Yeah, absolutely. I-

    7. JR

      Pare- I don't know. It's like one of those things where I guess you catch like the right vibe, like you go in it with the right attitude and you-

    8. MY

      There is no attitude. If it stinks, fuck that, dude. Like I can't eat anything that smells.

    9. JR

      So we would take this expensive cheese and they would squeegee it off into a blender.

    10. MY

      ... nah.

    11. JR

      And then they'd blend it up with the other stuff, like worms and shit, it would make the worms taste horrific or smell horrific.

    12. MY

      Oh, so you were just messing with their, uh, smell sense.

    13. JR

      Yes.

    14. MY

      So it could make it seem like it was worse than it really was.

    15. JR

      It was making it worse because it smelled worse, so it was making it more like (retching) -

    16. MY

      (laughs)

    17. JR

      ... so you could smell it, but (retching) -

    18. MY

      (laughs)

    19. JR

      ... people would just start retching. (retches)

    20. MY

      (laughs)

    21. JR

      It was, it's a ridiculous fucking thing. It's a ridiculous thing. Like, to, the show was r- really silly.

    22. MY

      No, but I, I love that these people wanted to be famous, you know.

    23. JR

      Well, you did too, bro. (sighs)

    24. MY

      But I was-

    25. JR

      (laughs)

    26. MY

      But let me tell you... (laughs)

    27. JR

      (laughs)

    28. MY

      No, no, no, no, no, but I, I was different. (laughs)

    29. JR

      Uh-huh, me too, me too.

    30. MY

      No, no, no.

  4. 45:001:00:00

    Sh- no, I couldn't.…

    1. JR

      miles an hour.

    2. MY

      Sh- no, I couldn't.

    3. JR

      I'll probably get eaten.

    4. MY

      (laughs)

    5. JR

      Fuck.

    6. MY

      Can you imagine? You're, like, 20 yards away from this thing, and you're like, "Ah, it's not gonna b-" and then it just runs up on you.

    7. JR

      Well, they say if you ever get chased by an alligator, too, the thing is to juke 'em. Go left and go right.

    8. MY

      Look at... (laughs) Oh, my God.

    9. JR

      Yeah, the, the, the picture's terrifying, man.

    10. MY

      Oh, my God.

    11. JR

      That one scares the shit out of me. That scares the shit out of me. I mean, look at that guy's... He's airborne.

    12. MY

      (laughs)

    13. JR

      He's, he's launching himself in the air, trying to get away from that thing.

    14. MY

      Dude, these things do not... Look at that.

    15. JR

      Yeah, they chase after boats in the water. They swim fast. Yeah, they try to fuck you up-

    16. MY

      Uh-uh.

    17. JR

      ... man. They'll try to fuck you up.

    18. MY

      500 people a year, dude. Hippos.

    19. JR

      "Husband sees hippo bite out wife's heart."

    20. MY

      What?

    21. JR

      Oh, my God.

    22. NA

      (laughs)

    23. JR

      Oh, my God. Imagine your wife falls into the water and that you see the hippo rip open her ribcage.

    24. MY

      Ugh.

    25. JR

      Oh, I would be a hippo punisher.

    26. MY

      Ugh.

    27. JR

      I would go back to Africa every year-

    28. MY

      And kill e- every one of 'em.

    29. JR

      ... I'd, I'd kill every one of 'em. I'd be responsible for hippo extinction.

    30. MY

      (laughs)

  5. 1:00:001:03:00

    Now, was it true…

    1. JR

      some big ass football player or some, like, super athlete, you're probably not gonna be able to hold these guys off. They're g- they're gonna, they're gonna choke you.

    2. MY

      Now, was it true you were gonna, uh, fight Wesley Snipes?

    3. JR

      That was way later though.

    4. MY

      Way later?

    5. JR

      I was a brown belt by then and I'd been doing a lot of training.

    6. MY

      Would you have beaten him?

    7. JR

      I don't know 'cause we d- we never did it.

    8. MY

      You never did it, right?

    9. JR

      He's a real martial artist.

    10. MY

      Okay.

    11. JR

      He's a real martial artist, but he doesn't know jujitsu. The thing is-

    12. MY

      Well, that must've been exciting though for you. Tr-

    13. JR

      Oh, super exciting.

    14. MY

      Yeah.

    15. JR

      'Cause I was thinking like, I knew that he was a real, legitimate martial artist. Like, he throws kicks and punches and it looks really good.

    16. MY

      Mm-hmm.

    17. JR

      Like, he really does know his shit. But I also know he never fought. And there's a big difference between throwing kicks and ... A- and I, and I haven't fought in a long time, but I probably fought a hundred times.

    18. MY

      Yeah.

    19. JR

      So like, I'd, I've been ... I've felt that nerves. I know what that's like. I ... It'll be crazy as fuck to do it again. That's what I was thinking. I mean, it'll probably scare the shit out of me. But, I think I know what to do.

    20. MY

      Yeah.

    21. JR

      Like, I think I know how to, like, get in there and start feinting, start giving some movement and see how he reacts. And then the worst case scenario is like, I'm like, in a scramble, I'm gonna strangle this guy.

    22. MY

      (laughs)

    23. JR

      Like, if this, if this comes to a scramble-

    24. MY

      Yeah.

    25. JR

      'Cause the y- the average person really doesn't know how helpless they are until a jujitsu black belt grabs ahold of you. And then you just go, "Oh, shit." Like, "I'm helpless." Because in a fight, i- you really think, like, you might be able to punch a guy. Like, "Maybe if he's fighting me and he's swinging at me and I'm swinging at him, maybe I hit him first." You really think that. But there's no swinging i- if it's a jujitsu fight, if y- if, if you guys get into some sort of a tussle and that guy grabs you and trips you and boom, and he's on the ground with his hand on your jacket and a knee on your chest, you're a dead man.You're a dead man, because there's no lucky shots.

    26. MY

      Yeah.

    27. JR

      A jujitsu black belt is just gonna close the distance, like that evil fucking crab-

    28. MY

      (laughs)

    29. JR

      ... and he's just gonna squeeze your fucking neck.

    30. MY

      (laughs)
