1. 0:00 – 15:00

   Two, one. Michael Yeo,…

   1. JRJoe Rogan0:00

      Two, one. Michael Yeo, I'm going on a big tour.

   2. MYMichael Yo0:07

      I know. I'm so excited for you, bro.

   3. JRJoe Rogan0:09

      I'm not missing shit.

   4. MYMichael Yo0:10

      No, you, uh, that's-

   5. JRJoe Rogan0:11

      People wonder if I'm missing podcasts. I only go on the weekends. I tour-

   6. MYMichael Yo0:13

      Oh, really? You don't go during the week?

   7. JRJoe Rogan0:14

      Yeah. Never. Never. I don't like to.

   8. MYMichael Yo0:17

      Why not?

   9. JRJoe Rogan0:18

      Because I have a family. I like to be home.

   10. MYMichael Yo0:20

       That's what's up right there.

   11. JRJoe Rogan0:21

       Yeah.

   12. MYMichael Yo0:21

       I mean, when you can do-

   13. JRJoe Rogan0:22

       I miss it.

   14. MYMichael Yo0:23

       ... when you can do what you wanna do and be like, "I'm gonna be gone Friday and Saturday and be back by Sunday."

   15. JRJoe Rogan0:27

       Yeah. That's the way to do it, man. I, I've never done the touring thing. Like, Kreischer and a lot of those people, they go out for, like, a month. Fuck that. I get sad. I feel bad. I don't like it. I have kids.

   16. MYMichael Yo0:38

       Well, I, I got two too and now I have a baby girl.

   17. JRJoe Rogan0:41

       God, you wanna be home, man.

   18. MYMichael Yo0:42

       Dude. And my baby girl, man.

   19. JRJoe Rogan0:44

       Yeah.

   20. MYMichael Yo0:45

       She looks at me like my son never looked at me before.

   21. JRJoe Rogan0:48

       Oh, it's a different thing, right? I don't know because I don't have sons, but everybody that has both says, "Whoa, the, the girls are just so loving and sweet, and the sons are just trying to light shit on fire."

   22. MYMichael Yo0:57

       Yeah (laughs) .

   23. JRJoe Rogan0:58

       (laughs)

   24. MYMichael Yo0:58

       It's so true. It's such a... And they don't love the, they don't love the fathers.

   25. JRJoe Rogan1:03

       Mm-hmm.

   26. MYMichael Yo1:03

       Like, my son could care less about me.

   27. JRJoe Rogan1:05

       Yeah, that's hilarious.

   28. MYMichael Yo1:06

       It's so true. Like, he loves my, uh, wife. Like, hand... I mean, side by side all the time.

   29. JRJoe Rogan1:12

       Really?

   30. MYMichael Yo1:12

       But already, my daughter, just at three months old, my wife will hold her and she'll keep crying, and as soon as I grab her-
2. 15:00 – 30:00

   (laughs) …

   1. JRJoe Rogan15:00

      you can do about a person. I said if you take all the worst aspects of a person and ignore everything else and just magnify those, you can paint a very distorted perception of someone. And so they're like, "Good. Let's do that to him."

   2. MYMichael Yo15:10

      (laughs)

   3. JRJoe Rogan15:10

      "Let's make Bernie Sanders look like a piece of shit for using that..." Well, also the fact that he used the most wishy-washy endorsement ever. What I said is, "I'll probably vote for." (laughs)

   4. MYMichael Yo15:19

      (laughs) Probably vote for.

   5. JRJoe Rogan15:19

      And they're like, "Run with it."

   6. MYMichael Yo15:20

      "I might."

   7. JRJoe Rogan15:21

      "Run with it. I like it."

   8. MYMichael Yo15:22

      "I might vote for him." (laughs)

   9. JRJoe Rogan15:24

      Yeah. Listen, man, if you c- I always say this, this is very important, if you're getting your politics from me, u- uh, you're fucked-

   10. MYMichael Yo15:29

       (laughs)

   11. JRJoe Rogan15:29

       ... 'cause I'm not the guy. Y- d- listen to Kyle Kulinski, listen to Jimmy Dore, listen to the people that are really paying attention, l- listen to The Hill, people that are really on top of it where it's their business. It's not my business. My business is standup comedy and cage fighting-

   12. MYMichael Yo15:44

       (laughs)

   13. JRJoe Rogan15:44

       ... and then o- a few other things. I'm a comedian like you.

   14. MYMichael Yo15:46

       Yeah.

   15. JRJoe Rogan15:46

       You know? Just we're, we talk about shit, but I'm no expert. But what... I like what Bernie stands for socially. I like what he stands for socially. You know, when you s- And when he made his... when he explained how he was going to put a very small tax on Wall Street speculation, on each one of these little transactions less than a penny and explains that over time in all these transactions, that's, that's a valuable thing, and that could contribute, and that could... what could potentially pay for education and healthcare and all these different things. I don't know if he's right. You know, I know many people say he's wrong. And I would like to see a real honest debate, not a debate on television where you have to cut every seven seconds for, or seven minutes for a commercial-

   16. MYMichael Yo16:30

       Yeah.

   17. JRJoe Rogan16:30

       ... and you have these people that are... these moderators that are, you know, steering this thing. No, I wanna see the two of them, like him and someone who opposes his ideas who actually understands the economics of it, and discuss it in a long form discussion, like a YouTube video. Make a YouTube video, everyone would watch it, have Bernie Sanders sit down with someone who's a- an economist or a mathematician or someone who understands it, and let's find out if that really would work and how it would work. Uh, same thing goes with education, same thing go- goes with healthcare. How are you gonna pay for these things? Is it feasible? Is it possible to do this? Where's the fat that we're gonna cut? How much taxes are you gonna raise? And who are you gonna raise the taxes on? And how is it gonna be done? And where's that money gonna go?

   18. MYMichael Yo17:18

       Now, do you believe that if you're Bernie Sanders, you have to talk about that information? Because we have a president that didn't give any information. Like, I, I, I feel now politics is, "I'm gonna give as least information as I can so they can't use it against me." And it works, obviously, 'cause you have a guy like that in the White House. So if I'm Bernie Sanders, why would I tell you how much-

   19. JRJoe Rogan17:39

       Well-

   20. MYMichael Yo17:39

       ... everything's gonna cost?

   21. JRJoe Rogan17:40

       ... with Trump, the personality overshadowed everything else. His personality overshadowed all of his shortcomings. So because of the fact that he could say things like, when he was talking about China, you know, "You could go to China." And did you ever see that video?

   22. MYMichael Yo17:56

       Which one was that?

   23. JRJoe Rogan17:57

       Where, where he explains to China... Or he could say, "Listen motherfuckers." Have you ever seen that video?

   24. MYMichael Yo18:00

       No.

   25. JRJoe Rogan18:01

       Pull that video up, 'cause it's one of my favorite Trump speeches. It's like this is what people love about Donald Trump, the fact that he would say this. Think about who Obama was, right?

   26. MYMichael Yo18:10

       Mm-hmm.

   27. JRJoe Rogan18:10

       Obama this, like, articulate statesman who you were proud that that was the representative of America. He spoke so well, he was so measured, so educated. Donald Trump is not that.

   28. MYMichael Yo18:22

       Do you feel that some American people, since Obama was like that, felt like he was speaking down to them?

   29. JRJoe Rogan18:28

       For sure.

   30. MYMichael Yo18:29

       Okay.
3. 30:00 – 45:00

   Mm. …

   1. MYMichael Yo30:00

      to bring it to real life, business and everything, how to talk to people where you can get them on your side, and just certain questions you ask where it, it, instead of them helping you, the, well, it turns it from me asking you to do something to you wanting to do it.

   2. JRJoe Rogan30:13

      Mm.

   3. MYMichael Yo30:13

      It's brilliant. Like, it, it's a game ... I, I use it in, in real life every day.

   4. JRJoe Rogan30:18

      Real ... How do you use it?

   5. MYMichael Yo30:19

      Well, it's, it's about the how question.

   6. JRJoe Rogan30:21

      Okay.

   7. MYMichael Yo30:22

      You know, for instance, um, you're negotiating a price on something. Somebody says, "I wanna do the Joe Rogan Podcast studio," and it comes in at $20,000. And you go, "You know what? How can we make this where it's not as much?" Is there ... How can we, how can we lower this price? So instead of you going, "Hey, I need a lower price," and they go, "No, it's $20,000," you go, (sighs) "How can we get this lower?" Now all the onus is on them to try to figure out your problem.

   8. JRJoe Rogan30:51

      Mm-hmm.

   9. MYMichael Yo30:52

      So you're basically putting your ... They're trying to figure out your problem for you instead of you figuring out the problem.

   10. JRJoe Rogan30:58

       No, you fucked up by telling people this, 'cause then they're gonna go, "Uh, we can't."

   11. MYMichael Yo31:01

       I know. (laughs)

   12. JRJoe Rogan31:02

       And then you're stuck.

   13. MYMichael Yo31:03

       But-

   14. JRJoe Rogan31:03

       It's like you're, you're playing chess here.

   15. MYMichael Yo31:05

       I know.

   16. JRJoe Rogan31:05

       But they, they just, like, "Check."

   17. MYMichael Yo31:07

       I just forgot about, like, how many millions watch this.

   18. JRJoe Rogan31:10

       (laughs)

   19. MYMichael Yo31:10

       Now, now people are gonna be taking shit away from me now. They'll be like, "Oh, you did that to us?" (laughs)

   20. JRJoe Rogan31:14

       They'll be like, "Oh, I see what you're doing. I see what you did, you motherfucker. You went with the how. You came with the how question."

   21. MYMichael Yo31:19

       I do it to my wife.

   22. JRJoe Rogan31:20

       Oh, how cool would this sound?

   23. MYMichael Yo31:20

       And I mean, uh, but she knows I read the ... Every time my wife is at the house and I'm just kinda chilling-

   24. JRJoe Rogan31:26

       Mm-hmm.

   25. MYMichael Yo31:26

       ... I go, "How can I help you?"

   26. JRJoe Rogan31:28

       Oh, Jesus Christ. What are you doing?

   27. NANarrator31:30

       (laughs)

   28. JRJoe Rogan31:30

       Why don't you just get out of the room?

   29. MYMichael Yo31:31

       When I ... No, no, no.

   30. JRJoe Rogan31:32

       (laughs)
4. 45:00 – 1:00:00

   (laughs) …

   1. GPGuest (unknown minor participant)45:00

      better go plop this thing out before I get septic shock. Yeah. Oh, my God. Todd.

   2. JRJoe Rogan45:04

      (laughs)

   3. GPGuest (unknown minor participant)45:05

      Yeah? Your lip gloss is on fleek.

   4. JRJoe Rogan45:08

      (laughs)

   5. GPGuest (unknown minor participant)45:08

      It's Kylie's. Shut ... Yeah, isn't that nice? That's amazing. Yeah. Very nice.

   6. JRJoe Rogan45:15

      (laughs)

   7. GPGuest (unknown minor participant)45:17

      Tbbh. Tbbh. Tbbh.

   8. JRJoe Rogan45:17

      I love how he keeps the stubble on-

   9. GPGuest (unknown minor participant)45:19

      Yeah. (laughs)

   10. JRJoe Rogan45:19

       ... when he's doing Caitlyn. (laughs)

   11. GPGuest (unknown minor participant)45:21

       (laughs)

   12. JRJoe Rogan45:21

       Like, he knows his Caitlyn ones, all the ones with stubble on.

   13. GPGuest (unknown minor participant)45:23

       He probably shows all ... He shows all the Caitlyns in one day while he has the stubble on.

   14. JRJoe Rogan45:26

       Uh, it's kyledunigan1, I think, right? Is that what it is? His Instagram handle?

   15. GPGuest (unknown minor participant)45:31

       Yeah.

   16. JRJoe Rogan45:31

       Kyledunigan1. Funniest guy on Instagram.

   17. GPGuest (unknown minor participant)45:34

       Wow.

   18. JRJoe Rogan45:34

       And that's just one of them. I, uh, dude, I, I check him every week just to make sure, just to make sure I haven't missed any. He does a great Bill Maher that Bill Maher hated.

   19. GPGuest (unknown minor participant)45:42

       Really?

   20. JRJoe Rogan45:42

       Fucking hated it.

   21. GPGuest (unknown minor participant)45:43

       Did you bring it up to Bill Maher?

   22. JRJoe Rogan45:44

       Yes, I did.

   23. GPGuest (unknown minor participant)45:45

       (laughs)

   24. JRJoe Rogan45:45

       Bill Maher didn't wanna hear it, didn't wanna see it.

   25. GPGuest (unknown minor participant)45:47

       (laughs)

   26. JRJoe Rogan45:47

       Got angry. And I go, "Oh, come on. Really?" I'm like, "Bro." He does a great, uh, Ray Liotta too.

   27. GPGuest (unknown minor participant)45:54

       Oh.

   28. JRJoe Rogan45:54

       Yeah, B-Bill Maher like pretended he hadn't seen it. We were all talking about it. We're like, "Come on."

   29. GPGuest (unknown minor participant)45:58

       Did you feel like he had seen it?

   30. JRJoe Rogan46:00

       100%.
5. 1:00:00 – 1:07:39

   (laughs) Yeah, man. I…

   1. JRJoe Rogan1:00:00

      dad, like Bill Cosby, and you think he's gonna help you out and give you that little boost and get you going in your career, and you can't wait to be there with the Academy Award going, "And I just wanna thank Bill Cosby 'cause he gave me my first break, and he's always been a beautiful mentor figure to me, and a father figure, and..." Meanwhile, empty cup of tea, and you got a headache, and your pants are off, and you're like, "What the fuck?"

   2. MYMichael Yo1:00:20

      (laughs) Yeah, man. I don't like the argument that, that people make, like when these ... Like, you know the actresses thank Harvey Weinstein and stuff like that. It's like, you have to. He paid for the movie. You know? You can't be like, "Yeah, all-

   3. JRJoe Rogan1:00:33

      Oh, the argument that they're not really, they're not really victims.

   4. MYMichael Yo1:00:36

      They're not really victims because ...

   5. JRJoe Rogan1:00:37

      Yeah.

   6. MYMichael Yo1:00:37

      But, or, or the argument that, you know, "Oh, it took 20 years to say something." Like, you know, it's ... It's- that stuff happens where you just don't wanna say anything.

   7. JRJoe Rogan1:00:47

      Yeah.

   8. MYMichael Yo1:00:47

      You know?

   9. JRJoe Rogan1:00:48

      Look, it's a whore business.

   10. MYMichael Yo1:00:49

       Yeah.

   11. JRJoe Rogan1:00:49

       Right? And people whore themselves out in one way or the other. There's men that whored themselves out and said things that they didn't really mean because they wanted to keep working, so they praised people that they really probably despised. There's probably a lot of that going on. Yet you can't say just 'cause all those people kissed his ass that he wasn't really a monster.

   12. MYMichael Yo1:01:07

       Monster, yeah.

   13. JRJoe Rogan1:01:08

       Yeah.

   14. MYMichael Yo1:01:08

       But, but a lot of people use that argument.

   15. JRJoe Rogan1:01:10

       You can't. You really can't. It do- it's not valid. It doesn't make sense. It's, it makes sense that it's distorted, that the whole thing's distorted and, and gross. And even more gross, maybe, than just a simple, "He met this woman and then he tried to rape her." It's more, even more gross. Like, they worked together for long periods of time, and her career success was dependent upon his acceptance of them. I mean, that's like the ultimate state of power, right? If you're the head of one of the biggest, most prominent movie studios in the world, and you bang all the actresses, and everyone knows it.

   16. MYMichael Yo1:01:44

       But, also, if you go against him, he'll call the other studios-

   17. JRJoe Rogan1:01:49

       And blackball you.

   18. MYMichael Yo1:01:50

       ... and black- and blackball you.

   19. JRJoe Rogan1:01:50

       Yeah.

   20. MYMichael Yo1:01:51

       That ... I, I, I think if it was just, "Okay, he runs this studio."

   21. JRJoe Rogan1:01:54

       Yeah.

   22. MYMichael Yo1:01:55

       And, "He did me wrong."

   23. JRJoe Rogan1:01:56

       Yeah.

   24. MYMichael Yo1:01:56

       And, "I ... Okay, we're not gonna work with that studio." He will go out of his way to call other people to blackball those people.

   25. JRJoe Rogan1:02:02

       Yeah.

   26. MYMichael Yo1:02:02

       And that's where, that's where you're petrified.

   27. JRJoe Rogan1:02:04

       Mm-hmm.

   28. MYMichael Yo1:02:04

       Because, you know, like, we're comics, but some people are actors, and that's what they do. That's what they want to do. So, it's a thing where-... you know, if that's your thing, you have to play that game.

   29. JRJoe Rogan1:02:15

       Yeah.

   30. MYMichael Yo1:02:16

       It's no different than the Comedy Store. Like, I'm, I'm past that prime of hanging out there 'cause I have a family, but that's the game. You hang out in the club, it becomes a fraternity, you know?
