       Um, so you guys wanna start with a song?

   15. JRJoe Rogan0:28

       Let's start with a song.

   16. SSSuzanne Santo0:29

       We'll start with a song.

   17. JRJoe Rogan0:30

       Okay, Bad Beast?

   18. SSSuzanne Santo0:31

       Bad Beast. Yeah.

   19. JRJoe Rogan0:32

       I love this song.

   20. GJGary Clark Jr.0:32

       Sure.

   21. SSSuzanne Santo0:32

       All right. Okay. This is the first time we've, like, done this together, so ...

   22. JRJoe Rogan0:37

       Holy shit.

   23. SSSuzanne Santo0:37

       Yeah. Look out, folks. (laughs)

   24. GJGary Clark Jr.0:40

       (laughs)

   25. JRJoe Rogan0:40

       (laughs)

   26. SSSuzanne Santo0:41

       I'm so scared. (laughs)

   27. JRJoe Rogan0:43

       (laughs) No, we're good. We're good.

   28. GJGary Clark Jr.0:46

       (sighs)

   29. SSSuzanne Santo0:46

       All right. You ready?

   30. GJGary Clark Jr.0:47

       (clears throat)
2. 15:00 – 30:00

   Mm-hmm. …

   1. SSSuzanne Santo15:00

      also I think when- when your muscles are strong and you play one of them, all the string instruments are kinda like cousins.

   2. JRJoe Rogan15:05

      Mm-hmm.

   3. SSSuzanne Santo15:05

      You know? But the violin is the hardest one. When I step away from it-

   4. JRJoe Rogan15:09

      Ah.

   5. SSSuzanne Santo15:10

      ... when ... And then I come back, there ... You know?

   6. JRJoe Rogan15:11

      That makes sense 'cause-

   7. SSSuzanne Santo15:12

      Yeah.

   8. JRJoe Rogan15:12

      ... it's such a crazy mo- motion.

   9. SSSuzanne Santo15:14

      Yeah.

   10. JRJoe Rogan15:14

       Like, am I doing it wrong?

   11. SSSuzanne Santo15:14

       It's an emotional instrument too. Like, yeah, you totally got it. You can do it.

   12. JRJoe Rogan15:18

       Can I have it?

   13. SSSuzanne Santo15:18

       You're crushing it.

   14. JRJoe Rogan15:18

       Dude, I'm killing it?

   15. SSSuzanne Santo15:19

       You're so good at the violin. (laughs)

   16. JRJoe Rogan15:21

       That's 'cause I've been making fun of people crying for so long. "Eh."

   17. SSSuzanne Santo15:23

       I know. (laughs) .

   18. GJGary Clark Jr.15:24

       (laughs)

   19. JRJoe Rogan15:24

       "You're gonna be okay." (laughs)

   20. SSSuzanne Santo15:27

       (laughs)

   21. JRJoe Rogan15:27

       I developed skills.

   22. GJGary Clark Jr.15:29

       That's the move.

   23. JRJoe Rogan15:30

       My mock violin game is strong.

   24. GJGary Clark Jr.15:32

       That's so nice.

   25. JRJoe Rogan15:32

       "Eh."

   26. SSSuzanne Santo15:32

       Yeah, yeah. (laughs)

   27. GJGary Clark Jr.15:33

       (laughs)

   28. JRJoe Rogan15:33

       "It's gonna be all right. Eh." The face. (laughs)

   29. SSSuzanne Santo15:38

       Oh, man. It's true. It's such a weepy instrument, huh?

   30. GJGary Clark Jr.15:42

       It's a beautiful instrument.
3. 30:00 – 45:00

   Yeah. …

   1. JRJoe Rogan30:00

      hours and hours, and you know-

   2. SSSuzanne Santo30:01

      Yeah.

   3. JRJoe Rogan30:02

      ... like, like lining up shots and then-

   4. SSSuzanne Santo30:03

      Yeah.

   5. JRJoe Rogan30:03

      ... moving to the next shot, and you're concentrating all day.

   6. SSSuzanne Santo30:06

      Yeah.

   7. JRJoe Rogan30:06

      That shit takes forever.

   8. GJGary Clark Jr.30:07

      (laughs)

   9. SSSuzanne Santo30:08

      Yeah.

   10. GJGary Clark Jr.30:08

       Yes.

   11. JRJoe Rogan30:09

       And it's, guys love it.

   12. SSSuzanne Santo30:11

       (laughs)

   13. JRJoe Rogan30:11

       They love it.

   14. SSSuzanne Santo30:12

       (laughs)

   15. JRJoe Rogan30:12

       Especially f- rich dudes. Like rich, old-

   16. SSSuzanne Santo30:15

       Yeah.

   17. JRJoe Rogan30:15

       ... dudes who do business love to play golf. They get together and they fucking swat that ball around, chase it.

   18. GJGary Clark Jr.30:22

       (laughs)

   19. JRJoe Rogan30:22

       What is that? (laughs)

   20. SSSuzanne Santo30:22

       Things, things that require like a-

   21. JRJoe Rogan30:23

       It's so strange. (laughs)

   22. SSSuzanne Santo30:24

       ... an investment in the gear.

   23. GJGary Clark Jr.30:26

       (laughs)

   24. JRJoe Rogan30:27

       Bro, we got virtual reality now.

   25. SSSuzanne Santo30:29

       Yeah.

   26. JRJoe Rogan30:29

       And you're out there walking around on the field-

   27. GJGary Clark Jr.30:31

       Yeah.

   28. JRJoe Rogan30:31

       ... looking for a ball.

   29. GJGary Clark Jr.30:32

       (laughs)

   30. SSSuzanne Santo30:33

       You mean like Golden Tee?
4. 45:00 – 1:00:00

   Mm-hmm. …

   1. SSSuzanne Santo45:00

      have that kind of intelligence with music-

   2. JRJoe Rogan45:02

      Mm-hmm.

   3. SSSuzanne Santo45:02

      ... because it's upstairs.

   4. JRJoe Rogan45:04

      Gary, do you agree with that, or is this- are we fighting?

   5. GJGary Clark Jr.45:08

      What? (laughs) .

   6. SSSuzanne Santo45:08

      (laughs)

   7. GJGary Clark Jr.45:08

      I'm not-

   8. SSSuzanne Santo45:08

      (laughs) .

   9. GJGary Clark Jr.45:09

      (laughs) .

   10. Are you guys fighting?

   11. We're not. No, we're not.

   12. I'm gonna be the referee.

   13. SSSuzanne Santo45:11

       God, I hope we- (laughs) .

   14. GJGary Clark Jr.45:12

       We're not fighting, Joe.

   15. SSSuzanne Santo45:12

       (laughs) .

   16. GJGary Clark Jr.45:13

       No, but I- I think- I think-

   17. JRJoe Rogan45:15

       (laughs) .

   18. GJGary Clark Jr.45:15

       ... I understand exactly ... (laughs)

   19. SSSuzanne Santo45:17

       Oh, shit.

   20. GJGary Clark Jr.45:17

       I understand exactly what you're saying, but I- I kinda simplify it like this. I think of it like a radio, like- like, uh, you know back in the day when you would tune a- a radio, um, you try and dial in whatever station, and you get that clear channel. Sometimes you'd have to move yourself. Sometimes you'd have to-

   21. JRJoe Rogan45:33

       Hm.

   22. GJGary Clark Jr.45:33

       ... just like-

   23. JRJoe Rogan45:34

       Oh, yeah.

   24. GJGary Clark Jr.45:34

       ... you know, get yourself into that place. And I think that as a musician, for me, what I'm trying to do is gather information around me.

   25. SSSuzanne Santo45:41

       Hm.

   26. GJGary Clark Jr.45:41

       Gather little things and not consume myself with this so when I'm in that place to receive that inspiration-

   27. SSSuzanne Santo45:47

       Hm.

   28. GJGary Clark Jr.45:47

       ... or that- that thought or- or that melody, whatever that is, I'm not clouding myself with doubt or, "This isn't what this person's doing," or whatever. I'm just ... I'm here in this with everybody, but I'm like, "All right. I'm gonna dial this in," so the noise goes away a little bit less. You know what I mean?

   29. JRJoe Rogan46:05

       Yeah.

   30. GJGary Clark Jr.46:06

       I don't know if this makes sense, but that's how I see it.
5. 1:00:00 – 1:07:47

   Yeah. …

   1. JRJoe Rogan1:00:00

   2. SSSuzanne Santo1:00:00

      Yeah.

   3. JRJoe Rogan1:00:00

      Probably high as fuck.

   4. SSSuzanne Santo1:00:01

      Yeah.

   5. JRJoe Rogan1:00:01

      Probably didn't even know if you were really you. (laughs)

   6. SSSuzanne Santo1:00:02

      I think, you know what, a- honestly, I said, "Hi," and he went, "Hey," and looked away, and then I took my sunglasses off and I was like, "Hey, it's me, Suzanne." (laughs)

   7. JRJoe Rogan1:00:10

      He go-

   8. SSSuzanne Santo1:00:10

      And he was like, "Oh." I, I don't think he actually-

   9. JRJoe Rogan1:00:12

      Thought you were CIA plant-

   10. SSSuzanne Santo1:00:13

       (laughs)

   11. JRJoe Rogan1:00:13

       ... trying to drag him away-

   12. SSSuzanne Santo1:00:14

       Sorry, Duncan.

   13. JRJoe Rogan1:00:15

       ... from his happy family. (laughs)

   14. SSSuzanne Santo1:00:16

       Love you, buddy. (laughs)

   15. JRJoe Rogan1:00:18

       Duncan Trussell's one of the great influencers out there.

   16. SSSuzanne Santo1:00:21

       He's amazing. He's-

   17. JRJoe Rogan1:00:22

       Yeah.

   18. SSSuzanne Santo1:00:22

       I did his podcast a couple months ago. It was really fun.

   19. JRJoe Rogan1:00:24

       He might have the best Twitter page in the known universe, 'cause he's the only one that's never succumbed to taking anything seriously.

   20. SSSuzanne Santo1:00:29

       Yeah.

   21. JRJoe Rogan1:00:30

       I feel like he has the most preposterous like suggestions for the future and the world and-

   22. SSSuzanne Santo1:00:34

       Yeah.

   23. JRJoe Rogan1:00:34

       ... and, uh, his fucking Twitter page is amazing.

   24. SSSuzanne Santo1:00:37

       Yeah.

   25. JRJoe Rogan1:00:37

       It's so funny.

   26. GJGary Clark Jr.1:00:38

       He's-

   27. SSSuzanne Santo1:00:38

       (laughs)

   28. GJGary Clark Jr.1:00:38

       He's a funny dude. He's so smart, too.

   29. JRJoe Rogan1:00:40

       What the f-

   30. GJGary Clark Jr.1:00:40

       James, what does he got?
