Honey Honey reunites during COVID and mends a long feud
- JRJoe Rogan
Uh...
- SSSuzanne Santo
What if we, like, wrote you a new theme song? What if we just, like, started pitching theme songs right now?
- JRJoe Rogan
You could do that.
- SSSuzanne Santo
Really?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, I might do some fucking do that.
- BJBen Jaffe
Cool. Yeah, Ben. (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
We're rolling. We're, we're actually-
- BJBen Jaffe
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
We're rolling right now.
- SSSuzanne Santo
Yeah.
- BJBen Jaffe
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Honey, honey.
- SSSuzanne Santo
Great.
- BJBen Jaffe
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Um, how did the band get back together? 'Cause it... Literally, the band is back together. Like, you know that expression you say with your friends? "Bro, the band's back together."
- BJBen Jaffe
(laughs) Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
The band-
- SSSuzanne Santo
We haven't even said that shit yet.
- BJBen Jaffe
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
The band's back together. (fingers snapping)
- BJBen Jaffe
Bam.
- JRJoe Rogan
The band's back together.
- BJBen Jaffe
I said bam? Oh, fuck. (laughs)
- SSSuzanne Santo
The band, the band's back together.
- JRJoe Rogan
The band is back together. You're saying bam?
- BJBen Jaffe
I know.
- JRJoe Rogan
I say bam all the time.
- BJBen Jaffe
I just... I'd rather say, like, titties or (laughs) something-
- JRJoe Rogan
Um, I'm a bam guy.
- BJBen Jaffe
Okay, bam's good.
- 1:55 – 3:00
Inside jokes, earthquakes, and the ‘bam’ vs ‘titties’ debate
- JRJoe Rogan
By the way, shout out to-
- SSSuzanne Santo
... it wasn't good.
- BJBen Jaffe
It wasn't good. (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
... Balls of Steel from the old Rogan board.
- SSSuzanne Santo
Right.
- BJBen Jaffe
Balls of Steel! (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Brought us all together.
- SSSuzanne Santo
Oh my God.
- BJBen Jaffe
(laughs)
- SSSuzanne Santo
Lives in infamy.
- JRJoe Rogan
That's an ins- that's an inside story, huh?
- BJBen Jaffe
God, how long... It's been a while now.
- SSSuzanne Santo
He still hasn't revealed himself.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- SSSuzanne Santo
What if it was us the whole time, Joe?
- JRJoe Rogan
Whoever that dude is, it was us the whole time.
- BJBen Jaffe
(laughs) I-
- JRJoe Rogan
But you were right, you had to be talented.
- SSSuzanne Santo
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
The, the video he sent was you guys doing Angel of Death acoustic on the roof of a building in LA.
- SSSuzanne Santo
Mm-hmm.
- BJBen Jaffe
So crazy. We were just-
- JRJoe Rogan
That, that building is right now on fire.
- BJBen Jaffe
They were so... Probably. Jesus Christ. (laughs)
- SSSuzanne Santo
(laughs) Rightfully so.
- BJBen Jaffe
Oh my God. Goddammit. Yeah, when we were practicing last night there was an earthquake.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, Jesus.
- BJBen Jaffe
And I was just, like, watching, like, my living room kinda. And I looked at Ben, I was like, "Fuck! No! What?"
- JRJoe Rogan
That's God-
- SSSuzanne Santo
Yeah, well, if acute laryngitis doesn't stop, an earthquake doesn't stop.
- 3:00 – 5:14
Do we need a slur for white people? Names, gender, and teasing Jamie
- JRJoe Rogan
And, and, and he invented all the... It's... I really... We need to find a good one for white people, you know?
- BJBen Jaffe
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
We really need to balance this out.
- BJBen Jaffe
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
A good-
- SSSuzanne Santo
Mm.
- JRJoe Rogan
A good, juicy slur from-
- SSSuzanne Santo
There's not a-
- BJBen Jaffe
Chads.
- SSSuzanne Santo
There's not a solid one.
- BJBen Jaffe
Chads.
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs) It's not... It's Karens.
- BJBen Jaffe
Brocks.
- JRJoe Rogan
Karen is one.
- SSSuzanne Santo
Yeah.
- BJBen Jaffe
Yeah, what's the white, what's the white one? Brock? Chad?
- JRJoe Rogan
Rock? Chad. It's just Chads.
- BJBen Jaffe
Bradleys?
- SSSuzanne Santo
Chad's, I think it's Chads.
- BJBen Jaffe
I think Bradley feels fitting.
- JRJoe Rogan
Sure. Yeah.
- SSSuzanne Santo
A lot of poor Bradleys out there they can suffer from that.
- JRJoe Rogan
But there's a lot of good Bradleys. Like, what's that Bradley? The actor? Bradley Cooper?
- BJBen Jaffe
Oh, yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
That guy's badass.
- SSSuzanne Santo
Yeah.
- BJBen Jaffe
Yeah, he's great.
- JRJoe Rogan
He's a really good actor.
- BJBen Jaffe
Super great.
- JRJoe Rogan
So it can't be a-
- 5:14 – 8:09
Kids, legacy pressure, and choosing a meaningful life without parenting
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, then don't have kids.
- SSSuzanne Santo
There, she said it.
- BJBen Jaffe
(laughs) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Cool, cool, cool, cool.
- JRJoe Rogan
The one thing that those kid j- zealots like to do is they like to pretend that everybody needs to have kids in order to be-
- BJBen Jaffe
Mm.
- JRJoe Rogan
... valuable in this life, you need to have kids. That's a-
- BJBen Jaffe
Interesting.
- JRJoe Rogan
... lot of fucking pressure on people.
- BJBen Jaffe
Is that a thing?
- JRJoe Rogan
Sure. It's... You know what it is?
- SSSuzanne Santo
Huh?
- JRJoe Rogan
When someone's doing something, they think you should be doing it.
- BJBen Jaffe
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
Right? Like, you talk to someone who just started meditating and they can't sh-... That's me, I can never-
- BJBen Jaffe
Yeah, yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
... shut the fuck up about what I like doing.
- BJBen Jaffe
Yeah, yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
I'm always trying to get people to do things.
- BJBen Jaffe
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
You know?
- BJBen Jaffe
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
But that's the thing with people with kids. They're, "Dude, you gotta have a fucking kid."
- BJBen Jaffe
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
"You gotta have a fucking kid. Trust me. You gotta have a fucking-"
- BJBen Jaffe
No. I don't-
- JRJoe Rogan
"What is your life? What are you doing? You're not gonna have children?"
- SSSuzanne Santo
(laughs)
- BJBen Jaffe
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
"You're not gonna procreate? Your name's not gonna carry on?" Like-
- BJBen Jaffe
(laughs)
- 8:09 – 8:39
Age shaming and why people attack others when they feel insecure
- BJBen Jaffe
Somebody age shamed me once and was like, "You're almost 40, blah, blah, blah." And I was like, "What's wrong with 40?"
- JRJoe Rogan
Was this online?
- BJBen Jaffe
No. (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
That sounds like a YouTube comment.
- SSSuzanne Santo
(laughs)
- BJBen Jaffe
Unfortunately, no.
- JRJoe Rogan
That was in real life someone said that?
- BJBen Jaffe
Yeah.
- SSSuzanne Santo
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
A, a guy you know?
- BJBen Jaffe
Yeah, let's go.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, rude.
- BJBen Jaffe
(laughs)
- SSSuzanne Santo
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
How weak.
- BJBen Jaffe
Huh?
- JRJoe Rogan
But I mean, again, why would someone do that? They're trying to make you feel bad 'cause they don't feel good. That's what it is. It's always-
- BJBen Jaffe
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
... the case. It's no one who feels great, is on top of the world. Dalai Lama's out there ... Not out there leaving shitty YouTube comments.
- BJBen Jaffe
Mm.
- JRJoe Rogan
You know?
- BJBen Jaffe
What if he was, though? (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Imagine if he was.
- BJBen Jaffe
Secretly like ... (typing sounds)
- 8:39 – 11:36
Dalai Lama ‘cancellation,’ celibacy, and being chosen as a child
- JRJoe Rogan
Did you ever see the video of ... He does ... He got-
- SSSuzanne Santo
Oh, let's see it. (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
I don't know if you know this, but he got canceled for a little while.
- BJBen Jaffe
No.
- SSSuzanne Santo
What did he do?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, the Dalai Lama got canceled.
- BJBen Jaffe
Wait.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yes, yes, yes.
- SSSuzanne Santo
I bet he dealt with it fine.
- JRJoe Rogan
He did this v- and we actu- he was actually talking about this exact same subject. He did this interview where they said, uh, "You know, you've been ... You're celibate, and have you ever thought about being married or having children?" He goes, "Oh, I've seen a lot of marriages. Uh, much worry, much cancer." And he goes, "Plus, uh, when they break up, uh, woman get all the money." (laughs)
- SSSuzanne Santo
(laughs)
- BJBen Jaffe
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
He's, like, joking around. And, and, uh, and the lady's like, "What the fuck? This is the Dalai Lama."
- BJBen Jaffe
Oh, no. (laughs)
- SSSuzanne Santo
Oh, boy.
- JRJoe Rogan
And, and then she goes ... She actually tries to social justice her way out of it 'cause, you know, she's o- ... She gotta confront him. She goes, "Actually, sometimes the woman makes her own money."
- BJBen Jaffe
Oh, shit.
- JRJoe Rogan
And he's like, "Oh, good one."
- SSSuzanne Santo
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Like, he just goes like ... (laughs)
- SSSuzanne Santo
Oh, no.
- JRJoe Rogan
"Yeah, sometimes." (laughs)
- BJBen Jaffe
Oh, no.
- SSSuzanne Santo
Oh, no.
- BJBen Jaffe
And so they just put him in time out for a minute. (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
People were saying like, "Should we cancel the Dalai Lama?" It was really funny. It was really funny.
- BJBen Jaffe
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
He's like, "I see people-"
- SSSuzanne Santo
You can cancel him if it needs to happen.
- JRJoe Rogan
He goes, uh, "Then I see him, like, a couple years later, new person, new girlfriend, much worry, much cancer."
- 11:36 – 16:16
Zoolander to modeling: beauty as a lottery and the industry’s damage
- JRJoe Rogan
It was a consciousness stream. You know what I watched last night that I haven't seen? Really in-
- SSSuzanne Santo
Which one?
- JRJoe Rogan
I don't think I ever saw it through. It was Zoolander.
- SSSuzanne Santo
Mm.
- BJBen Jaffe
Oh, it's so good.
- JRJoe Rogan
Hilarious.
- BJBen Jaffe
It's so good.
- JRJoe Rogan
So ridiculous.
- SSSuzanne Santo
Who am I?
- JRJoe Rogan
It's so ridiculous.
- BJBen Jaffe
(laughs)
- SSSuzanne Santo
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
What a great idea to have a, a, like, a super vapid beautiful man.
- BJBen Jaffe
Oh, it's so good.
- SSSuzanne Santo
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs) In one of those really slapsticky silly comedies.
- BJBen Jaffe
There's so much truth to it, though. That's the sad part.
- JRJoe Rogan
It was great.
- SSSuzanne Santo
I enjoyed the shit out of it.
- BJBen Jaffe
It's like there's a ... Yeah.
- SSSuzanne Santo
You, you knew male models when you were doing male modeling stuff, right?
- BJBen Jaffe
I did.
- JRJoe Rogan
You were doing male modeling?
- SSSuzanne Santo
You were doing male modeling, right?
- BJBen Jaffe
(laughs) Back, back in my-
- SSSuzanne Santo
Did that come out wrong?
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.
- BJBen Jaffe
... formative, formative years when I was a male model.
- SSSuzanne Santo
(laughs)
- BJBen Jaffe
News grenade. Uh-
- 16:16 – 23:01
The Troubadour memories, John Prine admiration, and a live cover on the spot
- BJBen Jaffe
You know he was sitting next to us at the Sturgill concert?
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh yeah, yeah. He was right over there.
- BJBen Jaffe
He was on the-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- BJBen Jaffe
He was on one side and then Johnny Burnthal, the Punisher, was on the other.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- BJBen Jaffe
And it was like one of the best days of my life. (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs) Well, it was cool.
- BJBen Jaffe
I- (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
I enjoyed that very much.
- BJBen Jaffe
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
I don't get to see concerts like that.
- BJBen Jaffe
It was so great.
- JRJoe Rogan
And, you know, and to go and see it with you-
- SSSuzanne Santo
Was that at The Forum?
- JRJoe Rogan
... that was really fun. We had fun.
- BJBen Jaffe
It was, it was a blast.
- JRJoe Rogan
We had dinner together.
- BJBen Jaffe
Yeah. It was cool.
- SSSuzanne Santo
Where was, where was the show?
- BJBen Jaffe
It was at The Troubadour.
- JRJoe Rogan
The show was at The Troubadour.
- SSSuzanne Santo
The Troubadour? Holy shit.
- BJBen Jaffe
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Dude, it was awesome.
- SSSuzanne Santo
Wow.
- JRJoe Rogan
And it was the Fire and Fury, this new, new shit-
- SSSuzanne Santo
Did they show him in the video?
- JRJoe Rogan
... that he's doing. Yeah. But he's also doing a lot of stuff from his old, his old catalog too, so it was just... It was awesome, and it was real intimate. Like, what is that, 400 people or something?
- BJBen Jaffe
Five.
- 23:01 – 29:27
Performing ‘Big Man’ dedicated to George Floyd
- SSSuzanne Santo
Humble man. Um, you wanna do Big Man? Since we're, like-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, let's do it.
- SSSuzanne Santo
... here.
- JRJoe Rogan
Do it.
- SSSuzanne Santo
I might need-
Okay.
- JRJoe Rogan
... a tune up, though, 'cause it's chilly in here.
- BJBen Jaffe
(guitar strumming)
- JRJoe Rogan
Is it chilly in here? Do you want to-
- SSSuzanne Santo
No, no, no from the fiddle point.
- BJBen Jaffe
(violin strumming)
- SSSuzanne Santo
It's not bad.
Let me tune that, and this isn't live?
- JRJoe Rogan
No.
- SSSuzanne Santo
Right, okay.
- JRJoe Rogan
But we're not editing it.
- SSSuzanne Santo
Right.
(laughs) Fuck.
Okay, okay, okay.
Well, shit. (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Isn't that crazy that you know how, whether it's warm or cold based on the strings, based on you running that thing acro- What is that thing called? The wand.
- SSSuzanne Santo
It's a wand. (laughs)
- BJBen Jaffe
(laughs)
- SSSuzanne Santo
That's so much better than what it's called.
- JRJoe Rogan
What is it called?
- SSSuzanne Santo
It's... It's called a wand.
No. (laughs)
It's, it's a bow.
It's called a bow.
- JRJoe Rogan
Is it really?
- 29:27 – 37:13
Police brutality, PTSD, and reform: cleaning house and treating trauma
- JRJoe Rogan
I think, uh, ultimately, society needed this. That they need, didn't need that guy to die, but they needed this event to snap out of whatever, whatever bullshit relationship, particularly the Black community has with police. And the videos that have come out since of, of police officers doing shit while this is all going on, during this... Like, it's like they have a, they have a, a pattern, some of these cops. They can't break out of it. They're, they're used-
- BJBen Jaffe
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
... to treating people like shit.
- BJBen Jaffe
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
They're used to violently assaulting people.
- BJBen Jaffe
Yeah.
- SSSuzanne Santo
Yes, they direct it.
- JRJoe Rogan
There's so much of it. There's so much crazy shit of guys using batons on women just standing there.
- BJBen Jaffe
Oh, God. I know it's-
- JRJoe Rogan
The girl's just standing there and he's using a baton on the front of her thighs and throws her onto the ground. I'm like, "Fucking come on, man."
- SSSuzanne Santo
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
"How are you doing this?" 'Cause someone won't comply. Like, the position of being a person that gets that ki- that has that kind of power over people, where p- people have to comply to you, is just psychologically-
- SSSuzanne Santo
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
... fraught with peril. You know? Whether it's Black people or... There's a lot of it doing with white people. There's a, there's a horrible video on my friend Joe Schilling's page. Um, Joe, you know, Joe Schilling the kickboxer? He's got a, a page on his Instagram he's been putting post after post is police brutality shit.
- BJBen Jaffe
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Post after post.
- BJBen Jaffe
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
It's like, "Is this to serve or protect?"
- BJBen Jaffe
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
And it's just this old man, and the guy has a cane-
- BJBen Jaffe
No, I don't think...
Uh-huh.
- JRJoe Rogan
... and the cops are slamming into him with their shield, and he goes flying and falls and hits his head on a bike rack.
- SSSuzanne Santo
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
It's fucking horrible.
- BJBen Jaffe
It's horrible.
- JRJoe Rogan
All the... I mean, there's some- That is, that has been going on.
- BJBen Jaffe
Yeah.
- SSSuzanne Santo
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
It's been going on in the Black community clearly. We have a, a shitload of evidence. It's been going on with all kinds of people.
- 37:13 – 52:33
Historical echoes: redlining, Confederacy ideology, and Native American exploitation
- JRJoe Rogan
... another thing that came out of this whole COVID thing, and then with this coming afterwards, it's like-... when, when you're dealing with perpetually, perpetually crime-ridden neighborhoods, like if them, they've had crime in them forever, and, uh, a lot of these neighborhoods are African American neighborhoods that have had crime. Like, whether it's the South Side of Chicago or, uh, outside of Baltimore, like, when you see how the government can spend so much money bailing out corporations that are fucked-
- BJBen Jaffe
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
... but they don't bail out cities that are fucked-
- BJBen Jaffe
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Like, you know ... Hold on, you knew Baltimore was fucked.
- SSSuzanne Santo
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Like, no one had any questions whether parts of Baltimore were just fucked. In fact, there was laws that used to redline. You weren't allowed to buy a house-
- BJBen Jaffe
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
... in certain areas if you were an African American. So, we know that.
- BJBen Jaffe
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
So, how come you bail out corporations, as you never bailed out these inner cities? It would've cost a fraction-
- SSSuzanne Santo
(laughs) .
- JRJoe Rogan
... to set up community centers, build more be- bet- much better affordable housing. You, you w-
- SSSuzanne Santo
Because leadership is too short-sighted for that. And that, that's-
- JRJoe Rogan
But-
- SSSuzanne Santo
... like a spiritual deficit.
- JRJoe Rogan
But what's crazy is they all want to pretend that they're pro-American. If you were pro-American, you would want less losers. You would li- want more people-
- SSSuzanne Santo
Sure.
- JRJoe Rogan
... that have an opportunity to get out of bad circumstances. And whatever those bad circumstances are, you'd wanna keep people safe.
- SSSuzanne Santo
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
You'd wanna ... Even if we ... You, you're always gonna run into bad circumstances with people that have drug addictions or people ... You're not gonna cure all that. That's a human issue. Humans are crazy. You're not gonna stop broken families and all that stuff. That's just a part of being a person, but you can-
- BJBen Jaffe
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
... do a way better job of protecting people from crime, a way better job-
- BJBen Jaffe
Sure. Well-
- JRJoe Rogan
... of insulating them from-
- BJBen Jaffe
You-
- JRJoe Rogan
... drug deals and all that crazy shit.
- SSSuzanne Santo
Sure.
- BJBen Jaffe
Mm-hmm.
- SSSuzanne Santo
Or shielding them or, or integrating people in a healthier way into an economic system that addresses their needs.
- 52:33 – 1:26:26
Power, propaganda, and 2020 absurdity: Trump’s Bible photo-op and media trust
- SSSuzanne Santo
What about the thing with the drinking-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yes.
- SSSuzanne Santo
... uh, you know, bleach or whatever, people did that-
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh.
- SSSuzanne Santo
... and was like, "Oh, no-"
- BJBen Jaffe
No.
- JRJoe Rogan
"No, no, they didn't."
- BJBen Jaffe
Did they, though?
- SSSuzanne Santo
"No, no, no, no, they didn't. They didn't."
- JRJoe Rogan
Two morons drank the wrong form of hydroxychloroquine that is actually a pond cleaner. It's for fucking koi ponds. These dipshits had it in their garage and they're like, "This is it. This is chloroquine." And-
- BJBen Jaffe
Did they die?
- JRJoe Rogan
One guy died. And th- there's a problem.
- SSSuzanne Santo
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
And this is the conspiracy theory-
- BJBen Jaffe
Well, the guy looks crazy. Sorry. (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
... put your tinfoil hat on.
- BJBen Jaffe
That's not funny. (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
They were... Here's the problem.
- SSSuzanne Santo
Wow, he's crushing it.
- JRJoe Rogan
They were uh, they were big time Democrats. That's why it doesn't make sense. And the, they were, one of them was a Democrat, uh, candidate contributor, I believe. Make sure that's right, I don't wanna get sued.
- SSSuzanne Santo
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
But, uh, and people are like, "Wait, you guys are just..." You know, "You're not supposed to do that." Like, "Did you just think you had, magically had this stuff laying around?"
- BJBen Jaffe
Yeah, how dumb-
- SSSuzanne Santo
Well, but I wasn't talking about the hydroxy...
- JRJoe Rogan
The problem is it's just, it's a random thing where it sounds the same and it's real... It's hydroxychloroquine versus some other kind of chloroquine.
- SSSuzanne Santo
Yes.
- BJBen Jaffe
You sure there wasn't some, like, agenda here? That just seems like ho... I'm sorry. I, I, I don't wanna-
- SSSuzanne Santo
I'm getting confused then.
- JRJoe Rogan
It could be.
- BJBen Jaffe
I don't wanna disrespect the, uh, the dead/almost dead, like-
