1. 0:00 – 1:22

   Sober October rule-bending: cigars, cheating, and internet nitpicking

   1. JRJoe Rogan0:00

      Mm, Ari Shaffir, we're here.

   2. ASAri Shaffir0:03

      (laughs)

   3. JRJoe Rogan0:03

      It's Sober October.

   4. ASAri Shaffir0:04

      Bleh.

   5. JRJoe Rogan0:05

      Hey, are we allowed to smoke cigars or no?

   6. ASAri Shaffir0:07

      Yeah, we're allowed to smoke cigars.

   7. JRJoe Rogan0:08

      Let's smoke a cigar. Let's fucking bend the rules a little.

   8. ASAri Shaffir0:11

      I have three in my trunk.

   9. JRJoe Rogan0:12

      I have two right here.

   10. ASAri Shaffir0:13

       Oh, yeah.

   11. JRJoe Rogan0:14

       Yeah.

   12. ASAri Shaffir0:14

       I mean...

   13. JRJoe Rogan0:15

       These are good. I was, uh, smoking cigars with Burr on the show. People are gonna be mad at us.

   14. ASAri Shaffir0:19

       Why?

   15. JRJoe Rogan0:19

       "This is tobacco. You're using tobacco products. You're totally cheating."

   16. ASAri Shaffir0:23

       Well, they can suck my cheese.

   17. JRJoe Rogan0:25

       Hmm. Um, they can or it can?

   18. ASAri Shaffir0:28

       They can suck my cheese-

   19. JRJoe Rogan0:30

       Oh, okay. Sucking cheese.

   20. ASAri Shaffir0:30

       ... with their fucking stupid rules. It's already hard enough.

   21. JRJoe Rogan0:32

       Okay. Cheese.

   22. ASAri Shaffir0:34

       Do you remember one time-

   23. JRJoe Rogan0:34

       (laughs)

   24. ASAri Shaffir0:34

       ... you weren't, you weren't masturbating for a month?

   25. JRJoe Rogan0:37

       Yeah, true.

   26. ASAri Shaffir0:37

       You remember that?

   27. JRJoe Rogan0:37

       Yeah.

   28. ASAri Shaffir0:38

       And all those people were like, "Yeah, but you're having sex. Don't do it with sex." And you're like, "Dude, I'm not playing your game. I'm doing a thing for myself."

   29. JRJoe Rogan0:45

       Yeah. Doing my game. Yeah.

   30. ASAri Shaffir0:47

       (laughs) Everybody wants rules. I start working out. "Oh, what are you doing?" "Oh, just bench." "No, dude, you gotta do legs, or you're not doing anything." (laughs) You're like, "Can you give me two times?"
2. 1:22 – 2:51

   Phone addiction experiments: flip phones, screen-time limits, and self-control

   1. JRJoe Rogan1:22

      Are you on that light phone now? What are you, when are you on that?

   2. ASAri Shaffir1:23

      No, it hasn't come yet. It's coming at the end of October.

   3. JRJoe Rogan1:25

      Oh.

   4. ASAri Shaffir1:26

      I, I'm trying a regular phone this month.

   5. JRJoe Rogan1:29

      A regular phone?

   6. ASAri Shaffir1:29

      Yeah. I, so I got a new number.

   7. JRJoe Rogan1:31

      Spark that.

   8. ASAri Shaffir1:32

      Oh, yeah. I got a new-

   9. JRJoe Rogan1:33

      Like a cell phone?

   10. ASAri Shaffir1:34

       Yeah.

   11. JRJoe Rogan1:34

       Like a real cell phone, like a smartphone?

   12. ASAri Shaffir1:36

       No, I got a new number and it's a regular flip phone.

   13. JRJoe Rogan1:39

       Okay.

   14. ASAri Shaffir1:39

       But the old number, I'm keeping it on on a smartphone.

   15. JRJoe Rogan1:43

       Ooh.

   16. ASAri Shaffir1:43

       And I'm seeing if I can handle it for a month.

   17. JRJoe Rogan1:45

       You can handle it.

   18. ASAri Shaffir1:46

       I don't know. Signs are not great already.

   19. JRJoe Rogan1:48

       (laughs)

   20. ASAri Shaffir1:48

       It's the fucking being alone and just kind of flipping through.

   21. JRJoe Rogan1:51

       Well-

   22. ASAri Shaffir1:51

       Watching Walking Dead and then flipping f- like, o- double screens.

   23. JRJoe Rogan1:54

       My daughter has, um, a phone now, but she has a little thing. My young, my middle daughter, not like the older one. That would be ridiculous. But, um, where you, she has a screen limitation, where she can only, uh, use the screen for-

   24. ASAri Shaffir2:07

       Can she turn it off?

   25. JRJoe Rogan2:09

       Can she? No.

   26. ASAri Shaffir2:09

       Yeah. It's not just on an alarm?

   27. JRJoe Rogan2:11

       No. She doesn't get to. We do it. So she got an hour. You got an hour.

   28. ASAri Shaffir2:14

       And then what happens after the hour?

   29. JRJoe Rogan2:16

       It stops working.

   30. ASAri Shaffir2:16

       What, what stops working?
3. 2:51 – 6:47

   Sober October lore: Bert, Tom, and why competition got complicated

   1. JRJoe Rogan2:51

      I'm hoping that Bert and Tom both say that we cheated already.

   2. GUGuest2:54

      (laughs)

   3. JRJoe Rogan2:54

      Because we're smoking cigars-

   4. ASAri Shaffir2:55

      And then we're out.

   5. JRJoe Rogan2:56

      ... and we're good.

   6. ASAri Shaffir2:56

      Dude, the first year-

   7. JRJoe Rogan2:57

      I'll take everybody to dinner somewhere.

   8. ASAri Shaffir2:58

      S- somebody said kombucha. They were like, "Kombucha already cheated." I was like, "Guys, you tell me right now if this is cheating, 'cause I'm done."

   9. JRJoe Rogan3:03

      Yeah.

   10. ASAri Shaffir3:03

       It's cool. I'm out.

   11. JRJoe Rogan3:05

       One of the great things about our contest is there's no real ramifications other than talking shit. You know, like, Bert came in last, but what happened to him? Nothing.

   12. ASAri Shaffir3:13

       What happened to him?

   13. JRJoe Rogan3:14

       Nothing.

   14. ASAri Shaffir3:14

       Nothing.

   15. JRJoe Rogan3:15

       He, he just talked, we just talked shit about him.

   16. GUGuest3:17

       (laughs)

   17. ASAri Shaffir3:17

       Fuck him. All he did was talk shit and then dealt with no repercussions.

   18. JRJoe Rogan3:20

       We all knew that we couldn't lose to Bert. That was, that was, um, a massive motivating factor for everyone, including Tom. Remember when Tom came back and he ran 13 fucking miles?

   19. ASAri Shaffir3:28

       He was done. On injury, he was done.

   20. JRJoe Rogan3:30

       Well, he was sick. He got really sick. He caught the flu.

   21. ASAri Shaffir3:32

       Yeah, yeah.

   22. JRJoe Rogan3:32

       And he came back, and the day back, he ran 13 fucking miles.

   23. ASAri Shaffir3:36

       To try to, like, catch up.

   24. JRJoe Rogan3:37

       And he did catch up.

   25. ASAri Shaffir3:38

       He did.

   26. JRJoe Rogan3:38

       Catch up and pass him. Bert was like, "What are you doing? I thought I was winning. I thought I was gonna win."

   27. ASAri Shaffir3:43

       (laughs)

   28. JRJoe Rogan3:43

       "Let's hip hop dance."

   29. ASAri Shaffir3:46

       (laughs)

   30. JRJoe Rogan3:49

       "What are you doing? What are you doing? I thought I was gonna win."
4. 6:47 – 8:19

   Mushrooms, phone misery, and the slippery aftermath of heavy psychedelics

   1. JRJoe Rogan6:47

      Can you imagine what kind of a person you'd be at the end of the month if you did mushrooms every other day?

   2. ASAri Shaffir6:51

      Can I tell you a story?

   3. JRJoe Rogan6:52

      Sure.

   4. ASAri Shaffir6:53

      So I went to a music festival and there was this guy who had ... A lot of my camp had never done any mushrooms. And this guy did mushrooms for four straight days. Four straight days. He, the second day he was like, "Can we do mushrooms again?" I'm like, "I ... They're not gonna work, you really have to do twice as much." He just kept going. Third day, kept going, just munching mushrooms. Four days. Didn't touch his phone at all. Didn't touch it. He had like 4% battery the whole time it was off. And then he turned it on and he texted and he had to tell work he wasn't gonna come in the Monday. You know? He'll work from home. They gave him some shit and he just looked at his phone. After being on shrooms for four days, he looked at his phone, he could just see it rush into his head like, "This thing brings me such fucking misery and I had such a good time without it." And you could just see all that sweat on his head, he just goes, and he fucking launches it.

   5. JRJoe Rogan7:40

      Whoa.

   6. ASAri Shaffir7:41

      He just chucked his fucking iPhone as far as he could.

   7. JRJoe Rogan7:44

      Wow.

   8. ASAri Shaffir7:44

      Yeah. (laughs) It was such a great moment. You can't do mushrooms too many days in a row, you get fucked up.

   9. JRJoe Rogan7:51

      Yeah, what, did he d- did he sober up after that and then call his-

   10. ASAri Shaffir7:54

       No, his friend-

   11. JRJoe Rogan7:54

       ... job and apologize and get a new phone?

   12. ASAri Shaffir7:56

       ... his other f- his other friend went and got it and like held it and pointed it out. I'm like, "No, I'm holding this for you." (laughs)

   13. JRJoe Rogan8:01

       (laughs) It wasn't broken?

   14. ASAri Shaffir8:03

       No, it didn't break.

   15. JRJoe Rogan8:04

       That's amazing.

   16. ASAri Shaffir8:05

       (laughs)

   17. JRJoe Rogan8:05

       Where were you guys at? Was it dirt you threw it on?

   18. ASAri Shaffir8:07

       It was on a dirt/rock path, yeah. Yeah.

   19. JRJoe Rogan8:10

       So it could've easily hit a rock.

   20. ASAri Shaffir8:11

       Yeah, easily.

   21. JRJoe Rogan8:12

       Oof. Do you have a case on it?

   22. ASAri Shaffir8:15

       I don't know. (laughs) I don't know. I think more the point is that he threw it.

5. 8:19 – 12:12

   Fragile tech and expensive gadgets: cases, folding phones, and the Light Phone idea

   1. JRJoe Rogan8:19

      The new ones are supposed to be way more resistant, to drop it.

   2. ASAri Shaffir8:22

      I love how the, as soon as they came out, they were like, "Oh, and if you drop it from more than a foot away, it's gonna break, this grand new design, the iPhone 2010."

   3. JRJoe Rogan8:31

      Yeah. It is a weird thing, right, where guarantee you're gonna drop it.

   4. ASAri Shaffir8:34

      Guarantee.

   5. JRJoe Rogan8:34

      And guarantee if you drop it, it's gonna break. Like I had Neil deGrasse Tyson on recently and he's always got NoCase on his phone, that's the thing. He marvels about the, the, the design, it's amazing design. And what you do is you get Jamie rocks NoCase because of Neil deGrasse Tyson's big old comment.

   6. ASAri Shaffir8:48

      You gotta listen to him.

   7. JRJoe Rogan8:49

      over there.

   8. ASAri Shaffir8:49

      Yeah.

   9. JRJoe Rogan8:49

      (laughs)

   10. ASAri Shaffir8:49

       Why, what'd he say?

   11. JRJoe Rogan8:51

       But anyway, he came back and his fucking phone was broken.

   12. ASAri Shaffir8:55

       Really?

   13. JRJoe Rogan8:55

       He had dropped it, 'cause he pulled his pants off, like, or, uh, his jacket off or something like that, and it was in the pocket of his jacket and it fell to the floor when he, like, pulled his jacket off the couch.

   14. ASAri Shaffir9:04

       Oh, yeah, he didn't g- he didn't account for the centrifugal force of his pants coming down, off the-

   15. JRJoe Rogan9:08

       And gravity.

   16. ASAri Shaffir9:08

       ... off the torque-

   17. JRJoe Rogan9:09

       Yes.

   18. ASAri Shaffir9:09

       ... off all that.

   19. JRJoe Rogan9:10

       Exactly.

   20. ASAri Shaffir9:10

       It didn't account.

   21. JRJoe Rogan9:11

       So he has this Starry Night van Gogh painting, it's-

   22. ASAri Shaffir9:14

       It's all shattered.

   23. JRJoe Rogan9:15

       ... like a, a thing on his back, the back of his phone, and little bits of glass were coming off it and he realized that it was cracked. Like, "Ha ha, I got a case on mine."

   24. ASAri Shaffir9:23

       (laughs) Ha ha, you're not smart.

   25. JRJoe Rogan9:24

       "Ha ha, so smart that you don't have a case." But it is weird that there, we have this super expensive thing that everybody carries around with them that if you do drop it, it will get fucked up.

   26. ASAri Shaffir9:33

       Yeah.

   27. JRJoe Rogan9:35

       What, man? What? Did you see that new Fold phone that costs like $2000? The Galaxy-

   28. ASAri Shaffir9:38

       I heard about those years ago.

   29. JRJoe Rogan9:39

       ... you can't even use a pen or you can't use your fingernail or anything, it'll scratch the screen.

   30. ASAri Shaffir9:42

       Oh what? That's crazy high.
6. 12:12 – 20:05

   From Joker hype to Terrence Howard: when ‘genius’ sounds like DMT

   1. ASAri Shaffir12:12

      I'm excited for Joker.

   2. JRJoe Rogan12:14

      Yeah. Looks, looks pretty good.

   3. ASAri Shaffir12:16

      It does look pretty good.

   4. JRJoe Rogan12:17

      Remember when Joaquin Phoenix was pretending to be crazy?

   5. ASAri Shaffir12:20

      Yeah. What was that? And you could sort of tell at the time that he was sort of pretending.

   6. JRJoe Rogan12:23

      Yeah, yeah.

   7. ASAri Shaffir12:24

      He was, he's-

   8. JRJoe Rogan12:25

      He was, he had a character he was doing for a documentary.

   9. ASAri Shaffir12:27

      Yeah. And it was like, "What, what is this? I don't get it." Have ... Did you see the guy from Empire's, um, speech, like, interview?

   10. JRJoe Rogan12:33

       Yes. Yes.

   11. ASAri Shaffir12:34

       Wow.

   12. JRJoe Rogan12:34

       Yes. Yes.

   13. ASAri Shaffir12:35

       Like, that seems-

   14. JRJoe Rogan12:36

       Terrence-

   15. ASAri Shaffir12:36

       ... almost like he's not preten- ... Like, he's, if he's-

   16. JRJoe Rogan12:38

       Oh.

   17. ASAri Shaffir12:38

       ... pretending, he's doing a better job acting than Jaoquin Phoenix did.

   18. JRJoe Rogan12:41

       What is his ... Terrence?

   19. GUGuest12:42

       Terrence Howard. Yeah. He saw a-

   20. ASAri Shaffir12:43

       How ... Yeah.

   21. GUGuest12:44

       ... Flower of Life or something.

   22. JRJoe Rogan12:44

       Well, Terrence Howard, uh, the guy who interviewed me for Rolling Stone, told me that Terrence Howard is, like, a legitimate genius. Like, he's like ... He talked to the guy. The guy's absolutely brilliant.

   23. ASAri Shaffir12:54

       Maybe he figured it all out.

   24. JRJoe Rogan12:55

       I think he got high as fuck on DMT. That's what it sounds like. He's talking about flowers and-

   25. ASAri Shaffir12:58

       He figured it all out. Yeah. It does sound-

   26. JRJoe Rogan13:00

       Yeah.

   27. ASAri Shaffir13:00

       ... like that, right?

   28. JRJoe Rogan13:01

       100%. Yeah.

   29. ASAri Shaffir13:02

       Yeah. It all makes sense. Like, the i- ... But the inability to explain it, just kinda like, "It's all connected." (laughs)

   30. JRJoe Rogan13:07

       But he was ex- not explaining it very well, but very articulately. Like, he was using ... It wasn't, like, nonsense talk.
7. 20:05 – 25:57

   Comics, the Comedy Store pipeline, and building sets like tools

   1. ASAri Shaffir20:05

      How shitty is standup when, on your way down, that's what people go into before their last step out-

   2. JRJoe Rogan20:12

      Right.

   3. ASAri Shaffir20:12

      ... of st- out of complete, um, show biz.

   4. JRJoe Rogan20:14

      Marty Daniels is doing standup now.

   5. ASAri Shaffir20:16

      Piven.

   6. JRJoe Rogan20:17

      Yep.

   7. ASAri Shaffir20:18

      Yeah, they're all like, "Well-"

   8. JRJoe Rogan20:19

      Yep.

   9. ASAri Shaffir20:19

      "... I'm gonna just try this at the end."

   10. JRJoe Rogan20:21

       Well, standup, if y- look.

   11. ASAri Shaffir20:23

       No respect. (laughs)

   12. JRJoe Rogan20:24

       But here's the thing, if they did it and loved it and respected it and was fucking gung-ho for it, um, I d- I have a unique opinion. I mean, I know a lot of comics get real mad at people trying to do comedy.

   13. ASAri Shaffir20:36

       Yeah.

   14. JRJoe Rogan20:36

       I feel like anybody trying to do comedy is a comic.

   15. ASAri Shaffir20:39

       Yeah.

   16. JRJoe Rogan20:39

       If, if you respect it and you treat it well. That's how I've always treated open micers. If you are an open micer-

   17. ASAri Shaffir20:44

       Yeah.

   18. JRJoe Rogan20:45

       ... in my opinion, you are a comic. You, you're one of us.

   19. ASAri Shaffir20:46

       Except the no Black thing you always say.

   20. JRJoe Rogan20:48

       No, no, no. Not's not anymore. I've been-

   21. ASAri Shaffir20:49

       Oh.

   22. JRJoe Rogan20:49

       No.

   23. ASAri Shaffir20:49

       Oh, oh, oh. Sorry.

   24. JRJoe Rogan20:50

       No, no, no. It's, uh-

   25. ASAri Shaffir20:51

       Oh, oh, oh. You woke up.

   26. JRJoe Rogan20:51

       Yeah, yeah, yeah.

   27. ASAri Shaffir20:51

       You woke up. Sorry, sorry. (laughs)

   28. JRJoe Rogan20:52

       I got woke.

   29. ASAri Shaffir20:53

       Yeah. (laughs)

   30. JRJoe Rogan20:54

       No. No, it's- now it's, uh, it's only Asians of a certain... No, I'm just-
8. 25:57 – 27:08

   Comedy vs outrage culture: Chappelle, Burr, ‘woke theology,’ and platform fear

   1. JRJoe Rogan25:57

      You know, you, you said something that I think is so true, that this is a great time for real comedy.

   2. ASAri Shaffir26:02

      Yeah.

   3. JRJoe Rogan26:03

      Yeah.

   4. ASAri Shaffir26:03

      It's great.

   5. JRJoe Rogan26:04

      Just comedy's dangerous again.

   6. ASAri Shaffir26:05

      Ah, it's so much fun.

   7. JRJoe Rogan26:07

      Yeah.

   8. ASAri Shaffir26:07

      People hear stuff and they're like, "Whoa."

   9. JRJoe Rogan26:09

      Yeah.

   10. ASAri Shaffir26:09

       It's back into these little basement rooms. Everyone's attacking it all the time. It's so great. (laughs) You know when people get mad at you for saying something like harsh?

   11. JRJoe Rogan26:18

       Yeah.

   12. ASAri Shaffir26:18

       And you walk through it like, "Fuck you!"

   13. JRJoe Rogan26:20

       Yeah.

   14. ASAri Shaffir26:20

       'Cause you know like you made some Catholic joke and they're all like butt hurt 'cause they're Catholic.

   15. JRJoe Rogan26:24

       Yeah.

   16. ASAri Shaffir26:24

       You know, and you got them. And you know it's okay 'cause they're only there la- angry and everyone else is laughing like crazy.

   17. JRJoe Rogan26:30

       Yeah.

   18. ASAri Shaffir26:30

       Now, the scale of that is just way larger.

   19. JRJoe Rogan26:33

       Yeah.

   20. ASAri Shaffir26:34

       Your stuff can go out and just like get a bunch of people angry.

   21. JRJoe Rogan26:37

       (laughs)

   22. ASAri Shaffir26:37

       Which is the people that are cool enough to like actually like the stuff. It feels way more dangerous and fun.

   23. JRJoe Rogan26:42

       You know what we should do with this podcast with Tom and Bert? We should do like buds training, bring in buckets of ice and just have vodka all over the table.

   24. ASAri Shaffir26:50

       Oh, to see if they'll be okay.

   25. JRJoe Rogan26:51

       Yeah, to see if they tap, they ring the bell.

   26. ASAri Shaffir26:53

       Yeah.

   27. JRJoe Rogan26:54

       (coughs)

   28. ASAri Shaffir26:54

       I could see Bert doing that.

   29. JRJoe Rogan26:56

       We could talk Bert into ringing the bell, especially if we tell him we smoked cigars when we got high.

   30. ASAri Shaffir26:59

       We smoke cigars laced with, uh, formaldehyde.

   Police shooting case detour: wrong apartment, fear responses, and legal labels

   1. JRJoe Rogan27:08

      Did you hear about that lady? This has nothing to do with that.

   2. ASAri Shaffir27:10

      What?

   3. JRJoe Rogan27:11

      But she just got convicted today of murder. She walked into the wrong apartment.

   4. ASAri Shaffir27:15

      Oh, a cop, right?

   5. JRJoe Rogan27:16

      And she thought... Yup, she thought this guy was in her apartment, she shot him and killed him and she-

   6. ASAri Shaffir27:19

      She said, "Let me see your hands."

   7. JRJoe Rogan27:21

      Yeah.

   8. ASAri Shaffir27:21

      And, and but he... And from his point of view it was like, "What? Who the fuck are you?"

   9. JRJoe Rogan27:24

      Right.

   10. ASAri Shaffir27:24

       "Let me see your hands."

   11. JRJoe Rogan27:25

       Yeah.

   12. ASAri Shaffir27:25

       And she shot him.

   13. JRJoe Rogan27:26

       I didn't hear that part, but I just know that she shot him and murdered him accidentally.

   14. ASAri Shaffir27:31

       Yeah.

   15. JRJoe Rogan27:31

       She thought he was in her place.

   16. ASAri Shaffir27:32

       Yeah. She, yeah, it's a to- it's like I heard her like crying on the stand.

   17. JRJoe Rogan27:37

       Oh, yeah.

   18. ASAri Shaffir27:38

       And it was like, damn, I... But it's just like I don't know, why do you keep going and shooting?

   19. JRJoe Rogan27:45

       Right, why isn't she shooting right away?

   20. ASAri Shaffir27:45

       You know what I mean? Why not just don't shoot?

   21. JRJoe Rogan27:48

       Right. Did the guy run at you?

   22. ASAri Shaffir27:49

       Yeah, I... It's like...

   23. JRJoe Rogan27:52

       Like when do you shoot someone if you find them in your house?

   24. ASAri Shaffir27:54

       Is the training wrong? Why unarmed people are getting shot? It's not even like, "Hey, can I get a sandwich real quick?"

   25. JRJoe Rogan28:01

       Right.

   26. ASAri Shaffir28:01

       It's not even like that.

   27. JRJoe Rogan28:02

       Right, right.

   28. ASAri Shaffir28:03

       It's just like, I mean, you got it wrong. At very least you got it wrong.

   29. JRJoe Rogan28:07

       Well, I- I've said this many times that I think the vast majority of interactions that people have with police ar-... They're positive, there's no problem.

   30. ASAri Shaffir28:15

       Yeah.
10. 48:20 – 1:03:13

    Berlin nightclub culture: phone stickers, marathon partying, and total debauchery

    1. ASAri Shaffir48:20

       ... nightclub in Germany, in Berlin. It was fucking so fun. Dude, I've been having fun going around places.

    2. JRJoe Rogan48:28

       Yeah? Tell me.

    3. ASAri Shaffir48:28

       Yeah, yeah.

    4. JRJoe Rogan48:29

       What did, what was it?

    5. ASAri Shaffir48:31

       Um, okay. (laughs)

    6. JRJoe Rogan48:33

       Whoa.

    7. ASAri Shaffir48:33

       It's fucking nuts. They do shit on another level there. I'm not into EDM and stuff, but like, it was great. As soon as you walk in, it's like, okay, first of all, you can't even get in. Oh my God. Okay, the first thing you see when you get in is just a bunch of people in leather, worn out. It goes from Friday night midnight until, like, Monday at about noon.

    8. JRJoe Rogan48:54

       Whoa.

    9. ASAri Shaffir48:54

       And you can just stay in and do hella drugs and just dance for, like, techno and, like, house music on different floors.

    10. JRJoe Rogan49:00

        People die in there?

    11. ASAri Shaffir49:01

        They must. They must.

    12. JRJoe Rogan49:03

        They must. They must go too hard and have heart attacks.

    13. ASAri Shaffir49:05

        Yeah, but everyone ... Yeah, they must.

    14. JRJoe Rogan49:07

        Yeah.

    15. ASAri Shaffir49:08

        But when you're down there, it's on the third d- level where there's no ... And there's people just coming down. I went in like a day and a half, so it was like Sunday when I went. So people were just like, out of it, sweaty, girls with, like, tutus and like, whatever. There's a coat check place where somebody said, um, somebody checked their gimp one time.

    16. JRJoe Rogan49:26

        Whoa.

    17. ASAri Shaffir49:26

        Yeah.

    18. JRJoe Rogan49:26

        Into the coat check place?

    19. ASAri Shaffir49:27

        Yeah, like, "You gotta stay here for me."

    20. JRJoe Rogan49:29

        Make him wait?

    21. ASAri Shaffir49:30

        Yeah.

    22. JRJoe Rogan49:30

        Wow.

    23. ASAri Shaffir49:30

        Okay.... the very first thing I saw. I go in, it's overwhelming. Me and my promoter were there and we're like, "This is fucking too much." And, uh, we're like, "All right, let's get beers." And I saw ... (laughs) This is so great, dude. It, the way to get in is just to wear all black or wear leather, or just be with gay people. Gay people just get in and they make sure it's, like, a good time for everybody. And, uh, they make you put a sticker over your phone. No pictures. They'll throw you the fuck out. Do whatever drugs you want. Anyway, as soon as I see that, there's a guy at the end of the bar just getting jerked off as he's ordering.

    24. JRJoe Rogan50:02

        By a guy or a girl?

    25. ASAri Shaffir50:03

        By a guy.

    26. JRJoe Rogan50:05

        Jerked off by a guy?

    27. ASAri Shaffir50:05

        Yeah. Yeah.

    28. JRJoe Rogan50:07

        Okay.

    29. ASAri Shaffir50:07

        And he's fucking ... (laughs) Order the beer, out of it on drugs-

    30. JRJoe Rogan50:11

        Right.
