Joe Rogan Experience #1529 - Whitney Cummings & Annie Lederman

1. 0:00 – 1:19

   Reuniting at The Comedy Store: missing the old nights

   1. JRJoe Rogan0:00

      Doo, doo. First of all, how do you two not have a show together?

   2. ALAnnie Lederman0:03

      (laughs)

   3. WCWhitney Cummings0:03

      I don't know.

   4. JRJoe Rogan0:04

      'Cause hanging, hanging with you guys the other night-

   5. ALAnnie Lederman0:05

      (laughs)

   6. JRJoe Rogan0:05

      ... at the store, first of all, how much fun was that?

   7. WCWhitney Cummings0:08

      The best.

   8. ALAnnie Lederman0:09

      It was so much fun.

   9. WCWhitney Cummings0:09

      It was so fun. But is that what it... I can't remember 'cause it's been so long. It's been like six months now. Was that what every night was like?

   10. JRJoe Rogan0:15

       A lot of nights were like that.

   11. ALAnnie Lederman0:16

       We just had the craziest... Like a circus freak night.

   12. WCWhitney Cummings0:19

       (laughs)

   13. JRJoe Rogan0:19

       Just fun, just laughing constantly.

   14. WCWhitney Cummings0:21

       The best.

   15. ALAnnie Lederman0:21

       Oh my God.

   16. JRJoe Rogan0:21

       We used to go to the back bar and crack each other up.

   17. WCWhitney Cummings0:24

       Yep.

   18. JRJoe Rogan0:24

       That was the constant thing.

   19. ALAnnie Lederman0:25

       Mm-hmm.

   20. WCWhitney Cummings0:25

       For hours.

   21. JRJoe Rogan0:26

       It was either in the back bar or the back smoking area, and everybody was laughing.

   22. ALAnnie Lederman0:29

       Yep.

   23. JRJoe Rogan0:29

       And y- you get like a low-grade depression when you're not around it-

   24. ALAnnie Lederman0:33

       (laughs)

   25. WCWhitney Cummings0:33

       Yeah, it's so true.

   26. JRJoe Rogan0:34

       ... and you forget. You forget for months and months and months. And then we had one night where we were all like, ah!

   27. ALAnnie Lederman0:39

       (laughs)

   28. WCWhitney Cummings0:39

       (laughs) That's so true.

   29. JRJoe Rogan0:39

       Just shooting up and saying ridiculous shit.

   30. ALAnnie Lederman0:41

       I do feel like I had like a crush on the night. Like I kept thinking about it-
2. 1:19 – 2:48

   COVID-era anxieties to malaria (and why diseases come back)

   1. ALAnnie Lederman1:19

      Yeah.

   2. JRJoe Rogan1:19

      I mean, the way we did it the other night, everybody gets tested.

   3. WCWhitney Cummings1:22

      Mm-hmm.

   4. JRJoe Rogan1:22

      You go and hang out and it's fun and we had a great time.

   5. ALAnnie Lederman1:24

      That was STD tests, but-

   6. WCWhitney Cummings1:25

      (laughs)

   7. ALAnnie Lederman1:25

      ... we do all have COVID, unfortunately.

   8. WCWhitney Cummings1:28

      My chlamydia killed my COVID, so I'm good.

   9. JRJoe Rogan1:29

      Well, COVID goes away.

   10. WCWhitney Cummings1:30

       We cancel each other out. (laughs)

   11. ALAnnie Lederman1:31

       (laughs)

   12. WCWhitney Cummings1:32

       Eventually.

   13. ALAnnie Lederman1:33

       We think. (laughs)

   14. WCWhitney Cummings1:35

       (laughs)

   15. JRJoe Rogan1:35

       (laughs)

   16. ALAnnie Lederman1:35

       Wait, fingers crossed.

   17. JRJoe Rogan1:36

       Yeah, we don't know, right? What if it's an annual thing, it keeps coming back? I have a friend who got malaria, and then he got malaria again when he got sick. So it had been dormant inside of his system. My friend, Justin Wren, he runs Fight for the Forgotten. He does charities in, uh, the Congo where he builds wells for the pygmies. And he's there all... He got malaria three fucking times.

   18. ALAnnie Lederman1:54

       Jesus.

   19. JRJoe Rogan1:54

       And so he goes over there, he gets malaria, like deathly ill, comes back, and then he beats it, does all the medication. And then a long time later, he gets really sick. And when he gets sick, the malaria kicks back in again, and he wasn't even in the Congo.

   20. ALAnnie Lederman2:07

       The mara- malaria's like-

   21. WCWhitney Cummings2:08

       Whoa.

   22. ALAnnie Lederman2:08

       ... not to be forgotten.

   23. WCWhitney Cummings2:09

       (laughs)

   24. JRJoe Rogan2:09

       No.

   25. ALAnnie Lederman2:10

       He's like, "This is a charity for me."

   26. JRJoe Rogan2:11

       Malaria has killed more people than anything.

   27. WCWhitney Cummings2:14

       That's right.

   28. JRJoe Rogan2:15

       Like anything ever.

   29. WCWhitney Cummings2:15

       More than wars, I think, right?

   30. JRJoe Rogan2:16

       Yeah. Mm-hmm.
3. 2:48 – 4:05

   Genetically modified mosquitoes, clickbait news, and “nothing matters” politics

   1. JRJoe Rogan2:48

      Yeah. So they just, I just put this on my Twitter, or my, uh, Instagram, that they've released or they're about to release some fucking untold hundreds of millions of genetically modified mosquitoes in the Everglades.

   2. WCWhitney Cummings2:59

      I saw that.

   3. JRJoe Rogan3:00

      Did you do it? In either Everglades or in the Florida Keys. I think the Florida Keys.

   4. WCWhitney Cummings3:02

      Florida, I think.

   5. JRJoe Rogan3:03

      Who the fuck knows?

   6. WCWhitney Cummings3:04

      And what is it supposed to do? I feel-

   7. JRJoe Rogan3:05

      I don't know. You get some fucking nerds.

   8. ALAnnie Lederman3:06

      Did you read it?

   9. WCWhitney Cummings3:07

      (laughs) Delivering the vaccine.

   10. JRJoe Rogan3:08

       I, I, I got scared. I pulled away from it. And then I got a text from a friend of mine who's a biologist, and he was like, "What the fuck are they doing?"

   11. WCWhitney Cummings3:14

       (laughs)

   12. JRJoe Rogan3:15

       I'm like, "If you're scared, now I'm really scared."

   13. WCWhitney Cummings3:18

       (laughs)

   14. ALAnnie Lederman3:18

       I saw you post that and I was like, "Maybe I should read the article." And then I was like, "Reading's really challenging. Maybe I'll just go and ask what're gonna happen."

   15. WCWhitney Cummings3:24

       I'm still catching up on murder hornets. Like I still don't know what happened with the pee tape. Like I'm so behind... Every day is some crazy adrenalizing story.

   16. JRJoe Rogan3:30

       Do you think the pee tape is real and is it gonna come out like right before the election? But if it does come out right before the election-

   17. ALAnnie Lederman3:35

       Nobody's gonna care.

   18. JRJoe Rogan3:35

       ... but does it work now because of the mail-in thing? Like people are-

   19. WCWhitney Cummings3:39

       Mm-hmm.

   20. JRJoe Rogan3:39

       They're voting already, right?

   21. WCWhitney Cummings3:41

       Right. Right. I, I think we are sort of at a point where nothing fucking matters. We're in this-

   22. JRJoe Rogan3:46

       Mm-hmm.

   23. WCWhitney Cummings3:46

       ... sort of like nihilistic thing where it's like if a pee tape came out right now of Trump like peeing on someone, we'd just be like-

   24. ALAnnie Lederman3:51

       They don't care. Nobody ca-

   25. WCWhitney Cummings3:53

       Like as long as it's-

   26. ALAnnie Lederman3:53

       People that like Trump do... Aren't like, "I like him 'cause of how he treats women."

   27. WCWhitney Cummings3:56

       As long as, as long as he-

   28. ALAnnie Lederman3:57

       They don't... "I like how he doesn't pee on women. I love how women leave the room with him dry from urine."

   29. WCWhitney Cummings4:01

       As long as he didn't apologize, he'd be fine. (laughs)

   30. ALAnnie Lederman4:04

       Yeah, exactly.
4. 4:05 – 5:44

   Apologies, car accidents, and the Caitlyn Jenner tangent

   1. WCWhitney Cummings4:05

      As soon as you apologize, you're fucked.

   2. ALAnnie Lederman4:07

      You can't cancel Trump.

   3. WCWhitney Cummings4:07

      It's like it's, it's, it's like in a car accident, the first person to apologize, it's their fault, so you gotta just get out in the car accident-

   4. JRJoe Rogan4:12

      Yeah.

   5. WCWhitney Cummings4:12

      ... and just be like, "What the fuck, man? What the fuck was that?"

   6. JRJoe Rogan4:14

      But it is a gross thing when someone hits you and then they say that was your fault, and you're like, "Oh, this is the grossest-"

   7. ALAnnie Lederman4:18

      No, never apologize. You told me that your dad taught you that, right?

   8. WCWhitney Cummings4:20

      Never apologize. Yep.

   9. JRJoe Rogan4:22

      In a car accident.

   10. ALAnnie Lederman4:22

       Which you told me-

   11. WCWhitney Cummings4:22

       Never.

   12. ALAnnie Lederman4:23

       ... after I got in a car accident. You were like, "The one advice my dad gave me that was-

   13. WCWhitney Cummings4:26

       (laughs)

   14. ALAnnie Lederman4:26

       ... the best advice was when you're in a car accident, never say sorry 'cause you'll get blamed for it."

   15. JRJoe Rogan4:29

       But what if you actually, actually did it? Then you should say sorry. If you hit somebody with your car, like if you rear-ended someone-

   16. ALAnnie Lederman4:34

       No, you look at them and you go like-

   17. WCWhitney Cummings4:35

       Well-

   18. ALAnnie Lederman4:35

       ... "I'm gonna sue the shit out of you."

   19. WCWhitney Cummings4:37

       (laughs)

   20. ALAnnie Lederman4:38

       "You missing a leg, I'm not paying for that."

   21. WCWhitney Cummings4:40

       (laughs) Uh-

   22. JRJoe Rogan4:40

       Don't you think you should say sorry if you rear-end someone?

   23. ALAnnie Lederman4:43

       Of course.

   24. JRJoe Rogan4:43

       Yeah.

   25. WCWhitney Cummings4:44

       I did that. I was thinking about you 'cause you posted that Irresistible, uh, that book the other day.

   26. JRJoe Rogan4:48

       That book. Oof.

   27. WCWhitney Cummings4:48

       Dude, I rear-ended someone-

   28. JRJoe Rogan4:49

       Oof.

   29. WCWhitney Cummings4:49

       ... texting like a year ago. And I got out and I was like, "I know I need to have a consequence for this behavior because I was-

   30. JRJoe Rogan4:54

       Mm-hmm.
5. 5:44 – 9:16

   “Jokes aren’t dead”: Comedy Store culture vs Twitter outrage

   1. WCWhitney Cummings5:44

      Something that was so important at the Comedy Store the other night is that these last six months have sort of hoodwinked me into believing that like jokes are dead, that we're not allowed to make jokes anymore.

   2. JRJoe Rogan5:53

      Right.

   3. WCWhitney Cummings5:53

      And c- because Twitter-

   4. ALAnnie Lederman5:55

      Right.

   5. WCWhitney Cummings5:55

      ... has sort of, you know... We're hallucinating with all the shit we're seeing on Twitter and, and blowing it up to be bigger than, uh, it should be. But like as soon as I saw Tony Hinchcliffe, I through-

   6. ALAnnie Lederman6:03

      (laughs)

   7. WCWhitney Cummings6:03

      I said the most-

   8. ALAnnie Lederman6:04

      Oh my God.

   9. WCWhitney Cummings6:04

      ... offensive shit possible, and everyone exploded in laughter. And I was like, "Ah."

   10. JRJoe Rogan6:08

       Yeah.

   11. WCWhitney Cummings6:08

       "The fuck is back."

   12. JRJoe Rogan6:09

       Oh, he's the best for that. That little motherfucker will say the most evil shit.

   13. WCWhitney Cummings6:13

       (laughs)

   14. ALAnnie Lederman6:13

       No, the moment something happens. There's no too soon for... I mean, Tony's like-

   15. JRJoe Rogan6:17

       No, no, no, no, no. Not Tony.

   16. WCWhitney Cummings6:18

       But I don't, I don't think we're designed to just be on the internet. If you're just on the internet and not seeing human beings and making jokes-

   17. JRJoe Rogan6:23

       Right.

   18. WCWhitney Cummings6:23

       ... around actual people, you can be tricked into thinking that that shit's real.

   19. JRJoe Rogan6:27

       Well, Stanhope really said it best once. He said, "I could quit comedy, but I couldn't quit comics."

   20. ALAnnie Lederman6:31

       Mm-hmm.

   21. WCWhitney Cummings6:31

       Mm.

   22. JRJoe Rogan6:31

       And that's what the other night was like. Like I've, I've had my little fix where I did a weekend in Houston, uh, a couple, like a month or so ago, but it wasn't as fun as last, that night.

   23. ALAnnie Lederman6:40

       Ugh, it was so fun.

   24. JRJoe Rogan6:40

       That night was the most fun because it was just a bunch of comics-

   25. WCWhitney Cummings6:43

       (laughs)

   26. JRJoe Rogan6:43

       ... just laughing at each other.

   27. ALAnnie Lederman6:45

       Stop.

   28. WCWhitney Cummings6:46

       Saying a bunch of shit that will get us canceled.

   29. ALAnnie Lederman6:48

       Screaming, laughing, talking over each other. It was just like amazing.

   30. JRJoe Rogan6:51

       But it's the art form of saying shit you don't really mean-
6. 9:16 – 11:19

   Roast Battle origins: how Whitney and Annie first met (and clashed)

   1. JRJoe Rogan9:16

      Roast battle was really good for comedy, really good for comedy.

   2. WCWhitney Cummings9:19

      That's where Andy and I met the first time.

   3. ALAnnie Lederman9:20

      Mm-hmm. Oh, should we talk about it? (laughs) Yeah.

   4. WCWhitney Cummings9:23

      Our meet cute story?

   5. ALAnnie Lederman9:25

      We, yeah-

   6. WCWhitney Cummings9:25

      We didn't start off on great terms.

   7. JRJoe Rogan9:27

      Uh-oh.

   8. ALAnnie Lederman9:27

      It was, it was okay, though. It wasn't that bad. You, you texted me so fast after it, though. I was like, "It's so weird Whitney Cummings just texted me." But, um-

   9. WCWhitney Cummings9:34

      You are intimidating. I am gonna say that. There's something very intimidating about you. It's 'cause you're showing your midriff at all times. (laughs)

   10. ALAnnie Lederman9:41

       It doesn't matter, all, all different shapes of muffins, it doesn't matter what genre.

   11. WCWhitney Cummings9:45

       I'm afraid I'm gonna get tetanus from your poops.

   12. JRJoe Rogan9:46

       Well, you're, you're confident, that's one thing.

   13. ALAnnie Lederman9:48

       It's Asperger's, honestly. (laughs)

   14. JRJoe Rogan9:49

       But there's a, there's a fear that you could be mean.

   15. ALAnnie Lederman9:51

       (laughs) Yeah.

   16. JRJoe Rogan9:52

       So that's what people are scared of, that you're confident but you might be mean. It's like, "Ooh, I gotta tread lightly."

   17. WCWhitney Cummings9:56

       She's a beast.

   18. ALAnnie Lederman9:56

       I always think the funniest thing is, like, the truth.

   19. WCWhitney Cummings9:58

       You also dress, you wear military garb, you dress like a Navy SEAL. (laughs)

   20. ALAnnie Lederman10:01

       I do look, like, anti-Semitic, I'm gonna be honest, with these boots.

   21. JRJoe Rogan10:04

       What happened to those boots?

   22. ALAnnie Lederman10:05

       You know, I just was like, "Should I wear-"

   23. JRJoe Rogan10:06

       Those are a choice?

   24. ALAnnie Lederman10:06

       "... sneakers or boots?"

   25. WCWhitney Cummings10:07

       Annie's dad didn't love her.

   26. JRJoe Rogan10:09

       But you bought those.

   27. ALAnnie Lederman10:09

       No, my dad loved me a lot. He just was-

   28. WCWhitney Cummings10:10

       Too much?

   29. ALAnnie Lederman10:11

       Very mean. No, not that much. (laughs)

   30. WCWhitney Cummings10:14

       (laughs)
7. 11:19 – 15:52

   Assistants, trust, and celebrity safety horror stories

   1. ALAnnie Lederman11:19

      Well, you said to me, I was saying, I was like, "I'm, when I'm rich, I'm gonna get a chef." And you were like, "Keep your circle small, Annie." You were like, "You don't want a fucking chef."

   2. JRJoe Rogan11:27

      You don't even want an assistant.

   3. ALAnnie Lederman11:28

      Yeah.

   4. WCWhitney Cummings11:28

      Mm-hmm.

   5. JRJoe Rogan11:29

      Yeah, when you, when you have an assistant, that means you do too much shit.

   6. ALAnnie Lederman11:32

      Yeah.

   7. JRJoe Rogan11:32

      Do less shit.

   8. WCWhitney Cummings11:32

      That's a good point. And by the time you tell someone to do something, you could've just done it yourself.

   9. ALAnnie Lederman11:36

      Yeah.

   10. JRJoe Rogan11:36

       Look, you could get lucky. I have friends that have, have had assistants that wind up being their best friends, and it's great. They're just a cool person that they met-

   11. WCWhitney Cummings11:43

       Yeah, yeah. I kinda have that, yeah.

   12. JRJoe Rogan11:43

       ... that needed a job. But I also have friends that got sued by their assistant, and David Spade got tasered and tied up.

   13. ALAnnie Lederman11:48

       (laughs) He got tied.

   14. WCWhitney Cummings11:49

       Almost murdered.

   15. JRJoe Rogan11:50

       Almost murdered by his assistant.

   16. ALAnnie Lederman11:51

       I'm sorry to see.

   17. JRJoe Rogan11:51

       His assistant was trying to kill him.

   18. WCWhitney Cummings11:52

       See, David Spade-

   19. ALAnnie Lederman11:53

       Not a funny bite.

   20. WCWhitney Cummings11:53

       David Spade has on his bedroom door a fucking, a latch, like a, like a Medieval wooden latch that-

   21. ALAnnie Lederman11:59

       And the fucked up part is it's from the, it's from the outside, so when you go in-

   22. WCWhitney Cummings12:02

       (laughs)

   23. JRJoe Rogan12:02

       (laughs)

   24. ALAnnie Lederman12:02

       ... you can't leave.

   25. WCWhitney Cummings12:03

       Imagine being a girl going in to hook up with David Spade and he's like...

   26. ALAnnie Lederman12:06

       He's like...

   27. WCWhitney Cummings12:06

       Ka-chunk.

   28. JRJoe Rogan12:07

       "Hey, can I get you something to drink?"

   29. ALAnnie Lederman12:09

       (laughs)

   30. WCWhitney Cummings12:10

       (laughs) It's like, damn.
8. 15:52 – 21:25

   Plastic surgery, face dysmorphia, and internet self-perception myths

   1. JRJoe Rogan15:52

      I remember one time I was at the Brea Improv high as fuck, like, way too high.

   2. WCWhitney Cummings15:57

      (laughs)

   3. JRJoe Rogan15:57

      And I'm sitting there just (breathes out) breathing heavy and Joan Rivers' show came on the television. And when you see someone with those fillers in their face and the ratio's all off-

   4. WCWhitney Cummings16:07

      Oh, yeah.

   5. ALAnnie Lederman16:07

      Yeah.

   6. JRJoe Rogan16:07

      ... 'cause it's like... And then their face isn't moving. I was horrified.

   7. WCWhitney Cummings16:11

      Right.

   8. JRJoe Rogan16:11

      I was sitting there just p- barbecued watching the screen going-

   9. ALAnnie Lederman16:14

      (laughs)

   10. JRJoe Rogan16:14

       ... "Oh my God, this is crazy."

   11. WCWhitney Cummings16:17

       Well, I have a theory about plastic surgery. If you're gonna, like, trim some off the nose, you have to put it on your chin or something, you have a certain amount of face meat and it has to stay on your face.

   12. JRJoe Rogan16:25

       No, you're right. There's a, there's actually-

   13. WCWhitney Cummings16:26

       You gotta put it back somewhere.

   14. JRJoe Rogan16:27

       ... a golden ratio.

   15. WCWhitney Cummings16:28

       Right, right.

   16. JRJoe Rogan16:28

       The Fibonacci sequence actually applies to your face. That's why when someone gets a nose job and you're like, "Your nose looks good, but it doesn't look like it's your nose." Like-

   17. WCWhitney Cummings16:35

       Yeah.

   18. JRJoe Rogan16:36

       ... what, what's happening here?

   19. WCWhitney Cummings16:37

       Like, nature knows what it's doing.

   20. JRJoe Rogan16:38

       Yeah.

   21. WCWhitney Cummings16:38

       There's a certain arrangement. It's, it's like Whac-A-Mole. If you-

   22. JRJoe Rogan16:41

       Yeah.

   23. WCWhitney Cummings16:41

       ... mess one thing up, you're gonna have to move everything else. But I was reading something about body dysmorphia, about how we've gotten so dysmorphic about what we look like 'cause we're always looking at ourselves on screens and in photos, which is the reverse-

   24. JRJoe Rogan16:51

       Oh, right.

   25. WCWhitney Cummings16:52

       ... of how other people see us.

   26. ALAnnie Lederman16:53

       Right.

   27. WCWhitney Cummings16:53

       And they say that if you were to see yourself out in the world, you wouldn't be able to recognize yourself. That's how dysmorphic we are.

   28. ALAnnie Lederman16:58

       Hmm.

   29. JRJoe Rogan16:59

       That's ridiculous 'cause there's videos of you.

   30. WCWhitney Cummings17:00

       Yeah, yeah. (laughs)
9. 21:25 – 29:40

   Whitney’s prescribed ketamine, David Blaine’s stunts, and magic psychology

   1. WCWhitney Cummings21:25

      Um, so I was doing (laughs) definitely ketamine, by the way.

   2. ALAnnie Lederman21:29

      Whitney's been date raping herself, guys.

   3. WCWhitney Cummings21:31

      (laughs)

   4. ALAnnie Lederman21:31

      She's been putting herself into K-holes and then getting right in that hole.

   5. WCWhitney Cummings21:33

      I do K and masturbate. (laughs)

   6. ALAnnie Lederman21:34

      (laughs)

   7. JRJoe Rogan21:35

      Now, the, the ketamine is like prescribed, though.

   8. WCWhitney Cummings21:38

      It's prescribed, yeah.

   9. JRJoe Rogan21:39

      Yeah.

   10. WCWhitney Cummings21:39

       Yeah, it's prescri- it's like a nasal spray, that's prescrib-

   11. JRJoe Rogan21:41

       You have it here?

   12. WCWhitney Cummings21:42

       It's in my purse somewhere. Yeah.

   13. ALAnnie Lederman21:44

       What's so funny about it is it's a nasal spray-

   14. WCWhitney Cummings21:46

       Why do I feel like-

   15. ALAnnie Lederman21:46

       ... but when I was going to raves and doing it, we also nasally injected. I mean, there are literally just... (laughs)

   16. WCWhitney Cummings21:51

       But this is a pretty trace amount. It's not a lot and I only do it like a couple times a week.

   17. JRJoe Rogan21:56

       A couple times a week. And what does it do?

   18. ALAnnie Lederman21:57

       But let's do a, dude, let's-

   19. WCWhitney Cummings21:57

       It's really a good, very helpful drug.

   20. ALAnnie Lederman21:59

       ... let's do a when you do it.

   21. WCWhitney Cummings21:59

       Let's do a bunch of ketamine and stab ourselves, like David Blaine. (laughs)

   22. ALAnnie Lederman22:02

       (laughs)

   23. JRJoe Rogan22:02

       That's got his cooties on it. It went through his arm. I don't even think we cleaned it.

   24. WCWhitney Cummings22:05

       Good.

   25. ALAnnie Lederman22:06

       Did it really go through his arm?

   26. JRJoe Rogan22:07

       Oh, it f- I pushed it through. I pushed it through his arm.

   27. WCWhitney Cummings22:09

       And then you made you stop for a second?

   28. JRJoe Rogan22:11

       Yeah. We, I hit a nerve the first time, then I had to back out and do it again. I didn't wanna do it. He wanted-

   29. ALAnnie Lederman22:14

       Did the frog live?

   30. JRJoe Rogan22:16

       Yeah, yeah. The frog was fine.
10. 29:40 – 34:34

    Weapons, running safety, and the on-air taser moment

    1. JRJoe Rogan29:40

       No. I don't wanna have anything to do with bears. I'm scared of nature.

    2. WCWhitney Cummings29:42

       Really?

    3. JRJoe Rogan29:43

       Yeah. Oh, for sure.

    4. ALAnnie Lederman29:43

       That's why you kill it?

    5. JRJoe Rogan29:45

       Well, no.

    6. ALAnnie Lederman29:45

       (laughs)

    7. JRJoe Rogan29:46

       I kill it to eat it.

    8. WCWhitney Cummings29:47

       Do you run with a taser?

    9. JRJoe Rogan29:48

       No.

    10. WCWhitney Cummings29:48

        I run with a little taser now.

    11. JRJoe Rogan29:49

        I carry a big knife. I have this, uh-

    12. WCWhitney Cummings29:50

        Oh, smart.

    13. ALAnnie Lederman29:50

        I don't like... Please don't run with a knife.

    14. JRJoe Rogan29:52

        This knife with the...

    15. ALAnnie Lederman29:52

        I've seen you play basketball.

    16. WCWhitney Cummings29:55

        I have a taser. (laughs)

    17. JRJoe Rogan29:55

        (laughs)

    18. WCWhitney Cummings29:55

        I have a little taser. It's like a...

    19. JRJoe Rogan29:56

        A taser's not a bad idea but I don't know if it'll work on an animal.

    20. ALAnnie Lederman29:58

        I carry nunchuks, I carry, um...

    21. WCWhitney Cummings30:01

        Oh, interesting.

    22. ALAnnie Lederman30:02

        ... paper weights that fit on your knuckles.

    23. JRJoe Rogan30:04

        You carry that little taser around with you?

    24. WCWhitney Cummings30:05

        This whole thing with me. Yeah, I put it in my fanny pack.

    25. JRJoe Rogan30:06

        Have you ever tased yourself to see what it feels like?

    26. WCWhitney Cummings30:08

        No.

    27. ALAnnie Lederman30:08

        I wanna do it.

    28. WCWhitney Cummings30:09

        Should we?

    29. JRJoe Rogan30:09

        Nope.

    30. WCWhitney Cummings30:09

        We have got to get more views to David Blaine. (laughs)
11. 34:34 – 49:13

    Comedy community as a ‘walled garden’ and why outsiders resent it

    1. WCWhitney Cummings34:34

       So many people want to, like, go female comics, male comics. Like, I, I feel like we're so wooden. We're together, we're so weirdly genderless. Like, we're like brother and sister.

    2. ALAnnie Lederman34:44

       Yeah.

    3. JRJoe Rogan34:44

       We were talking about that the other night. That it's a real meritocracy.

    4. ALAnnie Lederman34:46

       Mm-hmm.

    5. JRJoe Rogan34:46

       If you're funny, you're one of the clan. And that's really all it is.

    6. WCWhitney Cummings34:49

       That's it. Right.

    7. JRJoe Rogan34:50

       And I get that it's upsetting for people who are on the outside.

    8. ALAnnie Lederman34:53

       Yes-

    9. JRJoe Rogan34:53

       I get it.

    10. WCWhitney Cummings34:53

        Yeah.

    11. ALAnnie Lederman34:53

        ... because-

    12. WCWhitney Cummings34:53

        You're not at the club and that sucks.

    13. JRJoe Rogan34:55

        A friend of mine who is a, like, a philosopher, very smart guy, tried to explain it to me and he, he just... Completely independent of this. He's like, "You guys have to understand that your little..." And he's not a comic at all. He's like, "This little group of people's like a walled garden."

    14. ALAnnie Lederman35:07

        Mm-hmm.

    15. JRJoe Rogan35:07

        "So there's a lot of people on the outside of it that see you guys having so much fun and doing all these things together and having each other on each other's podcasts." And there's just an automatic feeling in human nature to feel like you're alienated from that group. So that group somehow or another disrespects you. That group is negative or bad or mean or this or that.

    16. ALAnnie Lederman35:24

        Yeah.

    17. JRJoe Rogan35:24

        Or this or that. And then it compounds.

    18. WCWhitney Cummings35:25

        Yeah.

    19. ALAnnie Lederman35:25

        Right.

    20. JRJoe Rogan35:26

        You know? And then it becomes... It, whatever... Find whatever the group is, whatever your identity-

    21. WCWhitney Cummings35:29

        Right.

    22. ALAnnie Lederman35:29

        Right.

    23. JRJoe Rogan35:29

        ... politics is.

    24. ALAnnie Lederman35:30

        Right.

    25. JRJoe Rogan35:30

        If it's a right-wing thing or a girl thing or a gay thing-

    26. ALAnnie Lederman35:33

        Right.

    27. JRJoe Rogan35:33

        ... or a boy thing.

    28. WCWhitney Cummings35:33

        Sports.

    29. JRJoe Rogan35:34

        Yeah, whatever it is.

    30. WCWhitney Cummings35:34

        Or team thing.
12. 49:13 – 54:59

    Fear Factor extremes: donkey cum, network sign-off, and why TV couldn’t escalate further

    1. JRJoe Rogan49:13

       Just imagine if that... 'Cause, you know, they do that to mules actually. What? Yeah, when they- when they wanna extract sperm from them-

    2. WCWhitney Cummings49:19

       Whoa.

    3. JRJoe Rogan49:19

       ... they actually stick a cattle prod up their asshole and they just shoot. Bang. (laughs)

    4. ALAnnie Lederman49:24

       Oh, my gosh.

    5. JRJoe Rogan49:24

       Yeah. And I know that because of-

    6. WCWhitney Cummings49:26

       That's someone's job.

    7. ALAnnie Lederman49:27

       ... Fear Factor.

    8. WCWhitney Cummings49:27

       That's someone's job. (laughs)

    9. JRJoe Rogan49:29

       No, because of Fear Factor. We made people drink donkey cum.

    10. ALAnnie Lederman49:31

        Did you ever drink the bad stuff? Did you ever taste it?

    11. JRJoe Rogan49:34

        I didn't drink that, but I ate a bunch of things. I ate a cockroach, a Madagascar giant hissing cockroach. I ate, um, tomato wh-

    12. ALAnnie Lederman49:41

        And it popped in your mouth?

    13. JRJoe Rogan49:42

        Oh, it destroyed... It just was all chewy and-

    14. ALAnnie Lederman49:45

        Did it taste good at all?

    15. JRJoe Rogan49:47

        No, but it didn't taste bad. It's just-

    16. WCWhitney Cummings49:49

        Was it alive?

    17. JRJoe Rogan49:49

        ... it's a mind fuck, yeah.

    18. WCWhitney Cummings49:51

        Dude.

    19. JRJoe Rogan49:51

        It's a mind fuck. It's not... It doesn't taste bad. It's almost like tasteless.

    20. ALAnnie Lederman49:55

        Yeah.

    21. WCWhitney Cummings49:55

        The legs, dude.

    22. JRJoe Rogan49:56

        No big deal.

    23. WCWhitney Cummings49:56

        The legs are what get me.

    24. JRJoe Rogan49:57

        Yeah, but it's basically a lobster.

    25. ALAnnie Lederman49:59

        They're the best part.

    26. JRJoe Rogan49:59

        Like a lobster-

    27. ALAnnie Lederman50:00

        Mm.

    28. JRJoe Rogan50:00

        ... is a bug.

    29. WCWhitney Cummings50:01

        Oh, yeah.

    30. JRJoe Rogan50:01

        It's not much different.
