Joe Rogan Experience #1293 - Andrew Santino

1. 0:00 – 15:00

   Boom, and we're live.…

   1. JRJoe Rogan0:02

      Boom, and we're live. Cheeto Santino, ladies and gentlemen, coming to you with the hot ones.

   2. ASAndrew Santino0:07

      Hello, sir. How are you?

   3. JRJoe Rogan0:08

      What's going on, big daddy?

   4. ASAndrew Santino0:10

      Good, brother. Just played a little bit of pool and lost a game, and lost, lost one ill, uh, illegitimately.

   5. JRJoe Rogan0:16

      You won one illegitimately, you mean?

   6. ASAndrew Santino0:18

      Lost... L- you lost one illegitimately. I won one.

   7. JRJoe Rogan0:20

      Well...

   8. ASAndrew Santino0:20

      Yeah.

   9. JRJoe Rogan0:21

      You know, it was-

   10. ASAndrew Santino0:21

       Scratching is not a good way to win.

   11. JRJoe Rogan0:23

       It... Uh, we, I scratched the eight ball, ladies and gentlemen. It is, it is the way to win.

   12. ASAndrew Santino0:26

       It happens, even to the best.

   13. JRJoe Rogan0:27

       But it's, it, it's a real way to win. I'm good. You, uh, you can't... You must control the cue ball.

   14. ASAndrew Santino0:35

       I have no, I have no balance over any of that stuff whatsoever. I know there's those little red dots on there.

   15. JRJoe Rogan0:39

       Yeah, those are-

   16. ASAndrew Santino0:39

       And it means nothing to me.

   17. JRJoe Rogan0:40

       Those little red dots are the... They call that the measles cue ball, and that cue ball, they developed for television so that you could watch the ball spin so you know what kinda English the guy puts on the ball.

   18. ASAndrew Santino0:50

       That has nothing to do with the person that's shooting whatsoever?

   19. JRJoe Rogan0:53

       It does. Yeah, it's... It... The person that, like... For the, for the most... It's a very controversial ball, if you really wanna get into it.

   20. ASAndrew Santino1:00

       I do.

   21. JRJoe Rogan1:00

       Because, uh, it has a different reaction than a red circle cue ball or a red dot cue ball. Those are the preferred cue balls of a lot of players.

   22. ASAndrew Santino1:08

       Right.

   23. JRJoe Rogan1:09

       But the measles cue ball's a lit-... It's just maybe the tiniest bit heavier, or, or the surface is different or something.

   24. ASAndrew Santino1:17

       But it's still legal.

   25. JRJoe Rogan1:18

       The reaction's Yeah.

   26. ASAndrew Santino1:19

       Okay.

   27. JRJoe Rogan1:20

       But players got... Some players got angry when they came up with it. They didn't like it. They liked the old cue ball. That's how s- precise the reactions are.

   28. ASAndrew Santino1:27

       Right.

   29. JRJoe Rogan1:27

       When you get to the very top level of pool players.

   30. ASAndrew Santino1:30

       Well, it's kinda like golf balls, but people think golf balls don't mean anything to golfers. They do.
2. 15:00 – 30:00

   But third round. …

   1. JRJoe Rogan15:00

   2. ASAndrew Santino15:00

      But third round.

   3. JRJoe Rogan15:02

      Yeah, man. But they don't have boxing anymore.

   4. ASAndrew Santino15:04

      That's-

   5. JRJoe Rogan15:04

      HBO s- got out of the boxing business.

   6. ASAndrew Santino15:06

      What do you think that's because of? It's not earning enough money anymore?

   7. JRJoe Rogan15:09

      I don't know. Uh, it makes me sad though. They had some of the greatest boxing telecasts of all time. And it, I mean, that was what you would do. You'd go, if a big fight was on, Bernard Hopkins was on, m- a lot of the times it was on HBO.

   8. ASAndrew Santino15:21

      Yeah.

   9. JRJoe Rogan15:21

      And if it was on pay-per-view, then you knew it was gonna be on HBO the following week.

   10. ASAndrew Santino15:24

       Right.

   11. JRJoe Rogan15:25

       So even if you couldn't afford the pay-per-view-

   12. ASAndrew Santino15:27

       You could see it.

   13. JRJoe Rogan15:27

       ... you could hang in there.

   14. ASAndrew Santino15:28

       Yeah.

   15. JRJoe Rogan15:28

       A week later, you knew who won, but you could watch the fight on HBO.

   16. ASAndrew Santino15:31

       I remember going to watch, I remember watching fights on HBO. Yeah, I, I just remember that n- that HBO boxing being such like a emblematic thing for, you know what I mean? Like you, it's so recognizable.

   17. JVJamie Vernon15:41

       Mm-hmm.

   18. ASAndrew Santino15:41

       So like pay-per-view on HBO. So them getting out of the game is so strange. It's kinda like the revolution that's happening now, the last fight I went to with you at UFC, now they're ESPN p- what is it? Plus?

   19. JRJoe Rogan15:52

       Plus.

   20. ASAndrew Santino15:52

       ESPN+, that's what it is?

   21. JRJoe Rogan15:53

       Yeah, yeah.

   22. ASAndrew Santino15:53

       It's a private paid service.

   23. JRJoe Rogan15:55

       It's a, uh, subscription service.

   24. ASAndrew Santino15:57

       Right.

   25. JRJoe Rogan15:58

       Like a, like a Netflix for sports.

   26. ASAndrew Santino16:00

       But it's, it's not just UFC fights. It's, it's a bunch of other stuff?

   27. JRJoe Rogan16:03

       It's everything.

   28. ASAndrew Santino16:03

       Wow.

   29. JRJoe Rogan16:04

       All kinds of shit. All kinds of sport-

   30. ASAndrew Santino16:05

       Stuff that just won't show on ESPN at all though?
3. 30:00 – 45:00

   (laughs) …

   1. ASAndrew Santino30:00

      system back in 1946, you gotta have a three-wire." He started going on and on and on and on. I was like, "You deserve more money."

   2. JRJoe Rogan30:06

      (laughs)

   3. ASAndrew Santino30:07

      (laughs) Like, "You're worth more money. I don't know why I have more money than you do. You do much more important shit."

   4. JRJoe Rogan30:13

      It's all about with... I guess with money, right, it's all about reach. You know, we were talking about-

   5. ASAndrew Santino30:18

      Right.

   6. JRJoe Rogan30:18

      ... earlier today about how much money Facebook and Google and all these people make from ads.

   7. ASAndrew Santino30:24

      Yup.

   8. JRJoe Rogan30:24

      And how weird it is that, like, you look for something then instantly those ads start popping up. Uh-

   9. ASAndrew Santino30:29

      Constantly.

   10. JRJoe Rogan30:30

       I, I'm referencing Sam Harris's podcast again. I don't remember which one it was. It was fairly recently. He had a, a guest on and they talked about the, uh, the, the commodity of your data, right? The commodity of your searches.

   11. ASAndrew Santino30:43

       Right.

   12. JRJoe Rogan30:44

       Like what... And, and who's selling that and how they're, how they're profiting off of that. And that this was like this commodity that nobody thought they were giving up. They... Nobody thought there was anything to it.

   13. ASAndrew Santino30:54

       Right.

   14. JRJoe Rogan30:54

       And then these companies have found this loophole and have made billions of dollars through it.

   15. ASAndrew Santino30:59

       Yeah.

   16. JRJoe Rogan30:59

       By giving you free email-

   17. ASAndrew Santino31:01

       Right.

   18. JRJoe Rogan31:01

       ... by giving you a free web browser.

   19. ASAndrew Santino31:03

       Right.

   20. JRJoe Rogan31:04

       By giving you free searches. Basically providing you with all the information in the world.

   21. ASAndrew Santino31:09

       Right.

   22. JRJoe Rogan31:09

       What they want from you is wanna know what you're interested in. That's all. No big deal.

   23. ASAndrew Santino31:13

       It's kinda like, uh, the real world example would be, uh, those trash companies that are like, "Do you have a garage full of shit? We'll come pick it up for free," right?

   24. JRJoe Rogan31:21

       Hmm. Right.

   25. ASAndrew Santino31:21

       You don't know what's in that fucking garage.

   26. JRJoe Rogan31:23

       Right.

   27. ASAndrew Santino31:23

       Some people are so old they just throw shit out and they go, "Ah, just get rid of it. Fuck it." You know?

   28. JRJoe Rogan31:28

       You know those Storage Wars shows?

   29. ASAndrew Santino31:29

       Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

   30. JRJoe Rogan31:29

       I guess some of them, they're fake.
4. 45:00 – 1:00:00

   Hmm. …

   1. ASAndrew Santino45:00

      f- does something where you're like, "That's fucked up. That can fuck up a friendship," he will hold that against you for the rest of time. That's it. That's it. Where some people would go, "Whatever, man. I forgive you. Shit happens."

   2. JVJamie Vernon45:10

      Hmm.

   3. ASAndrew Santino45:11

      Nah. He's f- he holds a fucking grudge, dude. Bad. (laughs) That little tiny ball, rice ball has a lot of fucking vengeance inside of him, dude.

   4. JVJamie Vernon45:19

      (laughs)

   5. ASAndrew Santino45:20

      He's my little dumpling.

   6. JVJamie Vernon45:21

      How dare you?

   7. ASAndrew Santino45:22

      No, I'm, I'm allowed to say that, man. I'm allowed to say that because I, uh, because I used to own Bobby. I used to bu- I bought him for a month.

   8. JVJamie Vernon45:29

      How much did it cost?

   9. ASAndrew Santino45:30

      65 grand.

   10. JVJamie Vernon45:32

       That's a lot.

   11. ASAndrew Santino45:33

       Mm-hmm.

   12. JVJamie Vernon45:33

       Could you do anything? I mean, would you have to feed him?

   13. ASAndrew Santino45:36

       He doesn't really require that much food.

   14. JVJamie Vernon45:38

       Then when does he get to own you? That's part of the deal, right? He owns you for a month now? Ten years later. Yeah.

   15. ASAndrew Santino45:41

       Ten years later, he owns you for a whole month. He holds me for a month. Yeah.

   16. JVJamie Vernon45:44

       But then he's gonna be stewing on it for ten years. So by the time-

   17. ASAndrew Santino45:46

       Yeah. Yes. (laughs)

   18. JVJamie Vernon45:47

       Imagine if people really did do that. They just decide, "Okay. I'll, you can own me for one month."

   19. ASAndrew Santino45:52

       Yeah.

   20. JVJamie Vernon45:52

       "And I'll do whatever the fuck you want, but then I own you for one month ten years from now."

   21. ASAndrew Santino45:56

       That's a great movie, by the way.

   22. JVJamie Vernon45:58

       That's a crazy deal. Let's hope the guy-

   23. ASAndrew Santino46:00

       It's a great, it's a great idea.

   24. JVJamie Vernon46:00

       ... stays alive. Meanwhile, like, nine years later, the dude's just drinking and chain smoking, trying to kill himself. (laughs)

   25. ASAndrew Santino46:06

       Trying to kill himself. (laughs)

   26. JVJamie Vernon46:07

       (laughs) 'Cause he doesn't wanna be your slave for a month. That'd be... Like, indentured servitude, right, mostly was people that were too poor to make journeys or-

   27. ASAndrew Santino46:17

       Right.

   28. JVJamie Vernon46:17

       ... too poor to do something so they would give up a certain amount of s- like, they would make a contract. Like, they would work for someone for a certain amount of time, right?

   29. ASAndrew Santino46:24

       Right.

   30. JVJamie Vernon46:24

       That's essentially how it was set up?
5. 1:00:00 – 1:01:44

   (laughs) Fuck you. …

   1. ASAndrew Santino1:00:00

      it, that they, that they get really ornery and they get really annoyed.

   2. JRJoe Rogan1:00:03

      (laughs) Fuck you.

   3. ASAndrew Santino1:00:03

      You fucking... (laughs) Just, just drown it.

   4. JRJoe Rogan1:00:06

      Fuck you.

   5. ASAndrew Santino1:00:06

      Just put it right under.

   6. JRJoe Rogan1:00:06

      That, th- no, bro.

   7. ASAndrew Santino1:00:07

      Bake it.

   8. JRJoe Rogan1:00:08

      Those, they're, they're strong.

   9. ASAndrew Santino1:00:08

      No, they are. You can't fuck with those things.

   10. JRJoe Rogan1:00:10

       It's a creepy animal, because they're beautiful and they're sweet. And th- the, like, pigs are a, they're a weird one.

   11. ASAndrew Santino1:00:16

       I know.

   12. JRJoe Rogan1:00:16

       Because they're... Look, as cool... Look, I'm a dog lover. I love dogs.

   13. ASAndrew Santino1:00:21

       Yeah.

   14. JRJoe Rogan1:00:21

       Pigs are almost like a dog.... and maybe smarter.

   15. ASAndrew Santino1:00:24

       Close. They're pro- well, they're probably definitely smarter.

   16. JRJoe Rogan1:00:26

       But they like the way that we act to people.

   17. ASAndrew Santino1:00:29

       Yeah.

   18. JRJoe Rogan1:00:29

       And that, like, if you feed them and you're their friend, you become their buddy. But-

   19. ASAndrew Santino1:00:32

       Are you against eating them?

   20. JRJoe Rogan1:00:33

       No.

   21. ASAndrew Santino1:00:34

       (laughs)

   22. JRJoe Rogan1:00:34

       But also, look, because I've killed them.

   23. ASAndrew Santino1:00:36

       I know, they're delicious.

   24. JRJoe Rogan1:00:36

       I mean, I've killed wild ones. But wild ones are different, man.

   25. ASAndrew Santino1:00:39

       Right.

   26. JRJoe Rogan1:00:39

       Because they're out there hustling, okay?

   27. ASAndrew Santino1:00:41

       Right.

   28. JRJoe Rogan1:00:41

       They don't, they're, they're not in this fucking pen getting slop all day, trying to fatten them up.

   29. ASAndrew Santino1:00:46

       Right.

   30. JRJoe Rogan1:00:46

       It's hard to get fat out there. They're out there hustling.
