  1. 0:00 – 15:00

    (drumming music plays) Joe Rogan podcast,…

    1. NA

      (drumming music plays) Joe Rogan podcast, check it out.

    2. JR

      The Joe Rogan Experience. Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night. All day. (rock music plays) Donnell, what's going on, bro?

    3. DR

      Good to see you, my friend.

    4. JR

      << Take me to the river, I wanna go. I'll go. Take me to your river, I wanna go >> I don't even know who sings that.

    5. DR

      You don't know who sings that song?

    6. JR

      No. Uh-

    7. DR

      Leon Bridges. Leon Bridges? Yeah, he's like a folk country singer, black dude. I think he's, uh, Louisiana's, uh, where he's from. But about five years ago, he had a very popular song that was like a song that really charted well. It was called The River. That was that?

    8. JR

      That was that song. And then he-

    9. DR

      There he is.

    10. JR

      And then what he does is he-

    11. DR

      Are you aware, Jamie? You know that dude?

    12. NA

      I've seen him before. Yeah, I don't know that I know the song, though.

    13. JR

      But this song is like... He's had other songs, but for some reason, this song resonated with a lot of people-

    14. DR

      Mm-hmm.

    15. JR

      ... in the country, man. It was like him reminiscing what, um, going to a place that made him feel good in the river.

    16. DR

      I hope when we go over to Spotify we can play it. I don't think-

    17. JR

      << I go. >> I could... << Take me to your river, I wanna go. I'll go >>

    18. DR

      (laughs)

    19. JR

      That's pretty much it. That's the one part everybody knows.

    20. DR

      It's acceptable now for people wear like neck scarfs.

    21. JR

      Are you being insulting?

    22. DR

      Neckerchiefs. No, not at all.

    23. JR

      It's... What are you saying though?

    24. DR

      It's normal. If you'd worn that on any other time, I'd be like, "What is on your neck?"

    25. JR

      And I would explain it to be a gator.

    26. DR

      Right.

    27. JR

      A gator.

    28. DR

      I know what it is. I know what a gator is, I hunt.

    29. JR

      Yeah, this is what it is. It's my gator.

    30. DR

      Yeah, you wear 'em when you're sneaking up on animals.

  2. 15:00 – 30:00

    So did they bring…

    1. DR

      Like they, they were brought over to Hawaii and they're wild and they have no predators, so they have to kill them. They have to control their populations.

    2. JR

      So did they bring them over to kill a s- a species or something? Like I know that-

    3. DR

      No, no, they brought them over for food.

    4. JR

      Oh, okay.

    5. DR

      Like Captain Cook and those dudes used to do that shit. They used to release goats on islands.

    6. JR

      I don't know Captain Cook. I only c- I know Cap- I know Cap'n Crunch.

    7. DR

      I know Cap'n Crunch as well.

    8. JR

      Yeah, that's a... I don't know Cap'n Crunch.

    9. DR

      Delicious stuff.

    10. JR

      Yeah.

    11. DR

      Um, Captain Hook was, uh, an old pirate, right? Wasn't he?

    12. NA

      Cook. Cook.

    13. DR

      Cook. Did that say Hook?

    14. NA

      Yeah.

    15. DR

      Hook was a pirate too (laughs) .

    16. JR

      Oh, so he's a Disney pirate.

    17. DR

      That's some good news shit.

    18. JR

      Yeah.

    19. DR

      Captain Cook, uh, he used to go to islands and they would drop off animals so that the next time they came around, they'd have something to eat. Because it-

    20. JR

      That's smart.

    21. DR

      Yeah, so they'd leave goats on an island. I think that's how the goats got on Galapagos. I think that's how they got on s- a lot of islands. The, these pirates or sailors would drop these animals off. But meanwhile, these animals destroy ecosystems.

    22. JR

      Yeah, but you had some fresh goat when you came back.

    23. DR

      We had some fresh goat.

    24. JR

      Yeah, fuck the rivers and shit.

    25. DR

      They had a lot of turtles too. They, they killed off a lot of sea turtles 'cause they would take sea turtles and they would flip them over and put them on their back, and they'd be good for weeks. Like they didn't-

    26. JR

      And they would eat them?

    27. DR

      Yep, they would eat them. 'Cause you don't, you don't need any... They don't need anything. Like they can survive just on their back for weeks and weeks and weeks, and you don't have to worry about refrigeration or them, you know...

    28. JR

      Yeah, but you can't tell somebody you're hunting turtles.

    29. DR

      You're not trying to do it for sport.

    30. JR

      That's... They slow as a motherfuck if you like... I fucking stalked this fucking, I followed this turtle for three days.

  3. 30:00 – 45:00

    Anyway. …

    1. DR

      do? She's old, man. I mean, this lady, she probably feels terrible breathing through the mask.

    2. JR

      Anyway.

    3. DR

      She probably feels like she doesn't have much time.

    4. JR

      She about to have a asthma attack.

    5. DR

      She had one on, but she was doing this shit. The chin check.

    6. JR

      I got into an argument o- yo.

    7. DR

      That chin check that people were doing?

    8. JR

      They get yelled, you get, they get, I get yelled at. I went to a grocery store. I'm getting a couple of items, and I had my motherfucking mask. And yo, when I tell you...... the tip of my nose was showing. The tip, right here.

    9. DR

      And people got mad?

    10. JR

      And this lady's behind plexiglass. She had sanitizer. She was squirting the register down every minute. She had a mask, everything. And my shit went right to the tip of my nose. She was like, "Sir, sir, sir, sir. You gotta put your mask on. You gotta put your mask on." I'm like, "Oh, I'm sorry. Okay." Now I gotta pay, I do Apple Pay. But to get into my phone-

    11. DR

      You gotta open up the phone.

    12. JR

      ... with my face.

    13. DR

      Yeah.

    14. JR

      So I put it down. "Sir, I'm sorry!" I'm like, "I'm trying to pay. I gotta log in with my face." She was like, "Well, you can't do that in here." Right?

    15. DR

      You can't use Apple Pay?

    16. JR

      I can't show my face to open my phone up to get-

    17. DR

      You gotta use Samsung Pay. They let you use your fingerprint. Time to switch to Android.

    18. JR

      I don't have an Android.

    19. DR

      (laughs)

    20. JR

      I don't have a... That's very evil for you to ent-

    21. DR

      I have an Android.

    22. JR

      ... to another... I know, but I wasn't talking about your fucking phone, Joe.

    23. DR

      Why is it evil?

    24. JR

      Because it was the wrong time.

    25. DR

      (laughs)

    26. JR

      It was the fucking wrong time.

    27. DR

      (laughs)

    28. JR

      And the thing I was making... So I had to-

    29. DR

      How'd you guys... You were dating.

    30. JR

      This is a... Sorry. This is what I had to do, Joe. I had to actually stand, leave the register, go to where I could do, outside-

  4. 45:00 – 1:00:00

    I didn't know you…

    1. DR

      in his brain. Uh-

    2. JR

      I didn't know you was nice. What I'm saying is, to go back to your point, Joe, is everybody's talking about the end of corona. Like, Don Lemon, man. Don Lemon, man. Don Lemon. Son, four years, son. For four years straight, he complained. He was mad at Donald Trump for four fucking years.

    3. DR

      Yeah.

    4. JR

      Four years. And f- I was like, "Man, if Donald Trump wins this election, Don Lemon is gonna jump off the CNN building."

    5. DR

      Do you remember all their faces when he won last time? When he won in 2016, they were all so depressed.

    6. JR

      Yeah.

    7. DR

      Jake Tapper and all those people on TV, just like, "Motherfucker, I can't believe this."

    8. JR

      Yeah. But the, here's the thing, Joe. I'm like... (sighs)

    9. DR

      I don't think you're supposed to do that if you're doing the news.

    10. JR

      Joe.

    11. DR

      If you're doing commentary, you can do that.

    12. JR

      Joe.

    13. DR

      I think if you're doing the news, you're supposed to say the news.

    14. JR

      Joe.

    15. DR

      Let us figure it out.

    16. JR

      Joe.

    17. DR

      Donnell.

    18. JR

      Joe. That's why I do subscribe to the notion that fake news. Like, to be honest, it's all fake. It's... All of them are fake.

    19. DR

      It's a lot of fake.

    20. JR

      It's... All fake. And this what I did, what I keep on telling people is like, how... I know you're upset, but when you're, like, you, you're... (sighs) It's all personal. Like, everything hits you to the heart. Like-

    21. DR

      Well, that's where it gets weird. Those two guys, Chris Cuomo and Don Lemon, both of them, they do this editorializing and this like, the, the, it's-

    22. JR

      Yeah.

    23. DR

      It's, it's almost like they're doing a podcast.

    24. JR

      And their opinion is all in it.

    25. DR

      And their opinion's in it, but it's also scripted.

    26. JR

      It's on the other side too. It's-

    27. DR

      But it's scripted.

    28. JR

      Yeah.

    29. DR

      And they're doing it on a news channel. There's a lot going on there.

    30. JR

      But that's why if you don't... Here's another thing about the media. If you didn't understand, whatever party you agree with, whatever, that... If you don't understand how easy it is to manipulate the media, Joe, it is so, so simple-

  5. 1:00:00 – 1:04:11

    Look how he's greeting…

    1. DR

      He, uh, raked in big money from fossil fuel industry while waiting to help oil and gas comp- or voting, rather, to help oil and gas companies.

    2. JR

      Look how he's greeting him is different. Look, he's, it's like getting-

    3. DR

      He's giving him knuckles, "Hey, fella."

    4. JR

      Yeah, my motherfucker.

    5. DR

      Here's a video of, um, Lindsey Graham and, uh, Kamala Harris fist bumping each other.It's adorable.

    6. JR

      Kamala Harris.

    7. DR

      Reaching across the aisle.

    8. JR

      That, that was a good move.

    9. DR

      He's walking by, fist bumps her. Well, she's the only good move. She's strong. You know, she was a district attorney. She got some questionable arrests on her.

    10. JR

      Of course.

    11. DR

      There's some shit that she did-

    12. JR

      So interesting, like-

    13. DR

      ... imprisoning people and keeping them in prison to use them as, to fight wildfires and shit, but...

    14. JR

      I, uh, in my community, I've heard people talk about her and everything. Like, "Wonder what she'll do?" Uh, you, you, you have trust in her? You believe in her? What I did believe in was when she got elected to be the first female vice president, first Black, Black president. Within a couple of days, the commercials I've seen on different urban platforms or just period, it's been you see a little Black girl, right, looking up to something.

    15. DR

      Mm-hmm.

    16. JR

      You know?

    17. DR

      When you see that shadow with her standing there and the-

    18. JR

      Yeah.

    19. DR

      ... little Black girls in the shadow.

    20. JR

      Black girls in the shadow. But the little girls that they're showing, it's like this-

    21. DR

      You could be that person.

    22. JR

      They feel, they feel, yeah, they feel-

    23. DR

      Yeah.

    24. JR

      ... Black girl joy. They see something that's-

    25. DR

      She also, you know, she didn't just-

    26. JR

      And I know she put motherfuckers, like...

    27. DR

      She didn't just, but she didn't do just bad things. She did a lot of good things. She b- she prosecuted a lot ch- child sex predators, a lot of pieces of shit, a lot of bad people. She wasn't just-

    28. JR

      I'd fuck with her just-

    29. DR

      ... the, the situations where people should have been let out of jail and weren't. But there's also, like, this is the thing that we have to realize when it comes to district attorneys and just attorneys and prosecutors and defense attorneys in general. They're trying to win a game, and it gets dirty. When, when-

    30. JR

      When I tell you what my prosecuting experience?
