   3. JRJoe Rogan0:06

      Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night. All day.

   4. RRRichard Rawlings0:14

      (rock music plays) What the fuck's going on with your shoes? (laughs) These are those Virgin Abloh kicks. These are, uh, Air Jordan Vs. And, uh, it's ... Like he was saying, it's real controversial if you're gonna cut all the stuff out of the different holes.

   5. JRJoe Rogan0:25

      Cut the stuff out of the holes? I don't understand that. What-

   6. RRRichard Rawlings0:28

      There's-

   7. JRJoe Rogan0:28

      There's holes-

   8. RRRichard Rawlings0:29

      I- I don't know. I mean, it's got stuff. He's got holes with fabric in it and you can either cut it out or leave it in or-

   9. JRJoe Rogan0:35

      But why would you cut it out? I don't understand.

   10. RRRichard Rawlings0:37

       I guess just to be one of the cool kids.

   11. JRJoe Rogan0:39

       So, so Jamie, explain.

   12. NANarrator0:40

       I'm trying to find the, the hole cutout, uh, so you can see it.

   13. JRJoe Rogan0:43

       Some cool kids. Oh, by the way, salute, my friend.

   14. RRRichard Rawlings0:45

       Uh, cheers, dude. (glasses clink) Thanks for having me back.

   15. JRJoe Rogan0:48

       Please, my honor. (drink splashes) Ah. Nice being back now that I'm in your, uh, your home state.

   16. NANarrator0:53

       You can cut out some of these.

   17. RRRichard Rawlings0:53

       Hell yeah.

   18. NANarrator0:54

       There.

   19. JRJoe Rogan0:55

       So what do you do?

   20. NANarrator0:56

       But he didn't cut it out either though, really. But-

   21. JRJoe Rogan0:57

       Okay, this guy didn't cut it out.

   22. NANarrator0:58

       You can see it with the yellow socks. That's where you're supposed to cut that, that little hole out here.

   23. JRJoe Rogan1:01

       You're supposed to.

   24. NANarrator1:02

       In that little hole I ... Once you get it home, you got to throw an X-ACTO knife.

   25. JRJoe Rogan1:04

       Why, why, why would you fucking ... What? You gotta bring an X-ACTO knife to fix your shoes?

   26. RRRichard Rawlings1:08

       Well-

   27. JRJoe Rogan1:08

       That's crazy.

   28. NANarrator1:09

       That's the ...

   29. JRJoe Rogan1:10

       That's the thing.

   30. NANarrator1:10

       That's the designer's, uh, idea.
2. 15:00 – 30:00

   Well, yeah, you could…

   1. JRJoe Rogan15:00

      a, a real solid suspension on it and...

   2. RRRichard Rawlings15:02

      Well, yeah, you could go with Roadster Shop-

   3. JRJoe Rogan15:04

      Great brakes.

   4. RRRichard Rawlings15:04

      ... chassis, but I think that we, uh, get with someone like Cregger or Torque Thrust American and have them make the right size with the offset we want-

   5. JRJoe Rogan15:12

      Yes.

   6. RRRichard Rawlings15:12

      ... so that it kind of has that look.

   7. JRJoe Rogan15:14

      That old school look.

   8. RRRichard Rawlings15:15

      But it's bigger meat, you know, '22-

   9. JRJoe Rogan15:17

      Yeah.

   10. RRRichard Rawlings15:17

       ... and 20s and, and, uh, what have you. That's looks good, yeah.

   11. JRJoe Rogan15:20

       Roadster Shop did a nine... See if you find Roadster Shop 1970 Chevelle. They did one that is just fucking phenomenal because it's just the right amount of old school and the right amount of new school.

   12. RRRichard Rawlings15:33

       Oh, yeah.

   13. JRJoe Rogan15:33

       There it is. Look at that fucking thing. Get... Come on, son. Look at the meat on the back wheels.

   14. RRRichard Rawlings15:40

       We could do that.

   15. JRJoe Rogan15:41

       Yes.

   16. RRRichard Rawlings15:42

       That is no problem.

   17. JRJoe Rogan15:43

       I need that on mine. Jamie, why are you laughing? Jamie drives a Tesla. He drives a fucking-

   18. RRRichard Rawlings15:47

       What?

   19. JRJoe Rogan15:47

       ... electric car. I drive one too. I have one of those. They're great. Don't you what?

   20. RRRichard Rawlings15:51

       Well, I actually hit up, uh, Zero Engineering the other day, uh, to see if I could-

   21. JRJoe Rogan15:55

       Look at that.

   22. RRRichard Rawlings15:55

       ... get a, a chassis.

   23. JRJoe Rogan15:56

       Put that back up there. Look at that.

   24. RRRichard Rawlings15:56

       Electric chassis.

   25. JRJoe Rogan15:57

       That's America.

   26. RRRichard Rawlings15:58

       It is.

   27. JRJoe Rogan15:59

       You can't get that in Europe. You can eat shit. You can eat shit, France.

   28. RRRichard Rawlings16:03

       (laughs)

   29. JRJoe Rogan16:03

       You can't build one of those. You don't know how, Spain. What are you gonna do? You gonna build one of those? Get the fuck out of here. That's freedom. Look at that.

   30. RRRichard Rawlings16:10

       It is.
3. 30:00 – 45:00

   Yeah. Yeah, shout-out to…

   1. JRJoe Rogan30:00

   2. RRRichard Rawlings30:00

      Yeah. Yeah, shout-out to Matt, for sure. And so I've been practicing-

   3. JRJoe Rogan30:03

      His rubs are amazing.

   4. RRRichard Rawlings30:03

      ... on my Traeger and, uh, you know, so that thing's a ... that thing's a really killer little instrument.

   5. JRJoe Rogan30:09

      It is, yeah.

   6. RRRichard Rawlings30:10

      It is a lot of fun.

   7. JRJoe Rogan30:10

      I love those things.

   8. RRRichard Rawlings30:11

      Yeah, and so I'm considering just-... kind of making the jump. It'll still be a little bit of automotive, little bit of, of uh, food. Think, um, me, Guy Fieri, and Anthony Bourdain all rolled up into one.

   9. JRJoe Rogan30:22

      And what are you gonna do? Do you have a plan?

   10. RRRichard Rawlings30:24

       Frickin' roll around.

   11. JRJoe Rogan30:25

       Can you tell people?

   12. RRRichard Rawlings30:26

       I think that I'm gonna roll around this great nation checking out stuff. Uh, the juxtaposition with different cities and their cars is pretty interesting. If you look at, say, Dallas and Houston-

   13. JRJoe Rogan30:35

       Mm-hmm.

   14. RRRichard Rawlings30:36

       ... uh, the kind of 4x4 trucks that they drive in Houston, you know, somebody in Dallas would probably throw rocks at them, and, and vice versa. It's just two different styles. Uh, and then, the kind ... we're both known for barbecue and, and, uh, and, uh, chili, if you will. So our barbecue and Mexican food. So ... but two different ones. They're close to the border. Little bit different style, little bit of everything. That's only three hours away, so imagine, you know, getting to tell the story of the town I'm in, why they're into what kind of car or trucks or motorcycles or whatever they're into, and then take a whiff on what their food is like compared to the rest of the world.

   15. JRJoe Rogan31:14

       Hmm. Okay.

   16. RRRichard Rawlings31:16

       So it's a little bit of, uh, rod and culture, I call it.

   17. JRJoe Rogan31:18

       Just a little bit of hot rodding, little bit of, like, traveling around.

   18. RRRichard Rawlings31:22

       Hanging out, checking out the, the best tacos and the best, uh, spaghetti joints, and, you know, just whatever.

   19. JRJoe Rogan31:27

       So no more buying people's cars?

   20. RRRichard Rawlings31:29

       No, I'll always do that. That's the fun.

   21. JRJoe Rogan31:32

       (laughs)

   22. RRRichard Rawlings31:32

       But, uh, you know, and maybe we roll a little bit of that in. But Fast and Loud was very, very hard. It was a hard show to make. I mean, we were building those cars in 25, 30 days.

   23. JRJoe Rogan31:40

       It's ridiculous.

   24. RRRichard Rawlings31:40

       And-

   25. JRJoe Rogan31:41

       If people knew ... Like, the people that don't know how cars are built, they're built over a year. Like, a year is great. If you can get someone to build you a car-

   26. RRRichard Rawlings31:49

       Mm-hmm.

   27. JRJoe Rogan31:49

       ... in a year, it's pretty amazing.

   28. RRRichard Rawlings31:50

       Yeah. Well, we were building them in 25 days.

   29. JRJoe Rogan31:52

       That's insane.

   30. RRRichard Rawlings31:53

       As a matter of fact, there's, uh, one up that I challenged my guys to early spring, uh, and they built a Chevy OBS, uh, short bed pickup truck in five. All the way down to the frame, all the way back up, paint, interior, motor, tranny, everything.
4. 45:00 – 1:00:00

   Correct. …

   1. JRJoe Rogan45:00

      you look like more of a douchebag than if you have a black Ferrari.

   2. RRRichard Rawlings45:04

      Correct.

   3. JRJoe Rogan45:04

      Yeah.

   4. RRRichard Rawlings45:05

      Yeah. I'm, I'm not a red car fan. I'm... Every car I buy is black, except for-

   5. JRJoe Rogan45:09

      Mm-hmm.

   6. RRRichard Rawlings45:10

      ... when you get into the older cars. Now, I do like to have fun with the reds and the blues when you get into the muscle cars, 'cause they made-

   7. JRJoe Rogan45:15

      Mm-hmm.

   8. RRRichard Rawlings45:15

      ... some sick colors, you know-

   9. JRJoe Rogan45:17

      Yeah.

   10. RRRichard Rawlings45:17

       ... back then, and you could mess with them, put the stripes on them, and things like that.

   11. JRJoe Rogan45:20

       But none of them look better. Well, a '70 Chevelle, red with black stripes looks pretty dope. Tom Cruise had one of those in Jack Reacher.

   12. RRRichard Rawlings45:29

       Correct.

   13. JRJoe Rogan45:29

       Yeah. That was-

   14. RRRichard Rawlings45:30

       That's pretty, that was pretty dope.

   15. JRJoe Rogan45:31

       Those are pretty dope. I think there's, there's another John, this is a different- Yes. That's the Mustang. ... boss. That's the '69 Boss tw- 429. Yeah, that's the car. That's the car they stole when they killed his dog and sent him on a murder spree. And, uh-

   16. RRRichard Rawlings45:42

       He must've liked that dog.

   17. JRJoe Rogan45:43

       Well, it was a little puppy and it reminded him of his wife who died.

   18. RRRichard Rawlings45:46

       That's right.

   19. JRJoe Rogan45:47

       Come on, bro. It's John Wick. It's an American movie. But, uh, that's a pretty dope, dope car too.

   20. RRRichard Rawlings45:53

       Yeah, but, you know, definitely not yellow for anything-

   21. JRJoe Rogan45:56

       I don't understand the yellow cars.

   22. RRRichard Rawlings45:58

       ... for any reason.

   23. JRJoe Rogan45:58

       It's, like, I guess it's a really, really... I, I really, really want you to look at me car. That's what it is.

   24. RRRichard Rawlings46:04

       (laughs)

   25. JRJoe Rogan46:05

       Right?

   26. RRRichard Rawlings46:06

       Yeah. I just know my buddy that bought the yellow Vette right now is just cringing. (laughs)

   27. JRJoe Rogan46:09

       Yeah, sorry, bro. Get, get a wrap on that shit box.

   28. RRRichard Rawlings46:12

       So... (laughs) Sorry about your manhood.

   29. JRJoe Rogan46:14

       Does he have a new Vette, a brand-

   30. RRRichard Rawlings46:16

       (laughs) Brand new-
5. 1:00:00 – 1:08:21

   So do, do I…

   1. JRJoe Rogan1:00:00

      that the world would, uh... It would get so bad that the supply chain would fall apart, and then I would... I'd have to start feeding my friends. And then... And then... So then I started thinking, "Okay, well, I have resources, right?" So if I have resources, what will be a wise use of those resources other than trying to get as many cool people on the podcast and spread as much fun and enjoyment and spread a good vibe out there to the world? The other thought was, "I should probably have somewhere where, um, all the people that I love can exist and, and, and survive."

   2. RRRichard Rawlings1:00:35

      So do, do I get-

   3. JRJoe Rogan1:00:35

      So, that's, that's my plan.

   4. RRRichard Rawlings1:00:35

      ... like a golden ticket if it all goes to hell?

   5. JRJoe Rogan1:00:37

      Fuck yeah, brother. Fuck yeah.

   6. RRRichard Rawlings1:00:38

      Now, just check in the front.

   7. JRJoe Rogan1:00:39

      100%, 100%. Yeah. But I need a, a couple thousand acres. That's the move. The move is a couple thousand acres with enough animals that you could, you could exist. And, you know, like, I was reading about Neil Young. Neil Young had, uh... I think he's... I think he had an issue recently. Did he have a stroke or something like that? Am I making that up?... but Neil Young had a, uh, he's got a giant ranch, and he makes his own fuel for his vehicles. He makes biodiesel with plants.

   8. RRRichard Rawlings1:01:09

      Okay.

   9. JRJoe Rogan1:01:10

      Y- so you can make your own fuel. Y- like, you can make your own ethanol with corn. You know, there's, there's ways you can make your own fuel for you. You can c- be completely self-sustainable.

   10. RRRichard Rawlings1:01:20

       We're gonna, we're gonna see you on an episode of that show that does preppers.

   11. JRJoe Rogan1:01:23

       Preppers?

   12. RRRichard Rawlings1:01:23

       Yeah. (laughs)

   13. JRJoe Rogan1:01:24

       Mm. I'm not a prepper, but I watch those shows. Th- th- those, the problem with those guys is they're just a, they're ju- just jumping the gun a little.

   14. RRRichard Rawlings1:01:33

       Yeah.

   15. JRJoe Rogan1:01:33

       It's not, it's not... The problem is not that they don't have valid concerns. The problem is they're jumping the gun.

   16. RRRichard Rawlings1:01:40

       Well, maybe-

   17. JRJoe Rogan1:01:41

       And you, when, when everything's great, you can just go to a restaurant and order a steak, and you can go to a supermarket and buy lettuce and, uh, asparagus and, and have a nice salad and you can eat well, and you're okay. Like, why are you fucking canning pears? Like, I mean-

   18. RRRichard Rawlings1:01:56

       Yeah, that, that stuff sucks.

   19. JRJoe Rogan1:01:57

       (laughs)

   20. RRRichard Rawlings1:01:57

       You know, if you want a ranch, I saw one that w- just went up for sale up at, uh, uh, in the northwest portion of, uh, Texas here.

   21. JRJoe Rogan1:02:07

       Mm.

   22. RRRichard Rawlings1:02:07

       Large, large ranch, though. Um, 225 square miles.

   23. JRJoe Rogan1:02:14

       That's what I'm talking about.

   24. RRRichard Rawlings1:02:15

       Yes.

   25. JRJoe Rogan1:02:16

       That's how you do it.

   26. RRRichard Rawlings1:02:17

       It is ridiculous. It's the first time anything like that's gone up for sale.

   27. JRJoe Rogan1:02:20

       See, if something like that goes up for sale, you can get all your friends to come down.

   28. RRRichard Rawlings1:02:25

       Well, I think you gotta get your friends to join in and run it like a business.

   29. JRJoe Rogan1:02:28

       Ooh.

   30. RRRichard Rawlings1:02:28

       I mean, you're talking about $150 million, but it's 225 square miles.
