   2. The Joe Rogan Experience.

   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. 2:21 – 5:00

   Why everyone’s moving to Texas: taxes, governance, and the 2020 shockwave

   1. RRRichard Rawlings2:21

      So, uh, how you diggin' Texas?

   2. JRJoe Rogan2:23

      I fucking love it. I wish I ... Well, I don't wish I moved here earlier because I moved here at the right time. It was a perfect time to move here, but I love it.

   3. RRRichard Rawlings2:32

      Everybody's moving here.

   4. JRJoe Rogan2:33

      Woo, you ain't kidding, man. Oracle just moved here. Elon Musk moved here.

   5. RRRichard Rawlings2:38

      Yeah.

   6. JRJoe Rogan2:38

      It's, it's a mass exodus. Uh-

   7. RRRichard Rawlings2:41

      Well, it's too much taxes.

   8. JRJoe Rogan2:41

      Adam Corolla is moving here too. I was watching some interview with him today. It's not just the taxes. Uh, LA just a ... They just got a new district attorney who is going to get rid of bail. They're not gonna have cash bail anymore. They're not gonna arrest people for resisting arrest. They're not gonna charge people for resisting arrest. They're not going to charge people for ... Uh, there were ... There's a bunch of things, like loitering, uh, drunk and disorderly, things along those lines. So it's gonna get wild.

   9. RRRichard Rawlings3:11

      (laughs)

   10. JRJoe Rogan3:11

       Well, it's somewhat ... As long as the California people that move here don't bring that kind of stuff.

   11. RRRichard Rawlings3:15

       That's the problem. Yeah.

   12. JRJoe Rogan3:16

       Yeah, that's the problem.

   13. RRRichard Rawlings3:17

       Because-

   14. JRJoe Rogan3:17

       This, this dude is the same dude that apparently was ... He was doing some ... The same kind of stupid shit in San Francisco.

   15. RRRichard Rawlings3:24

       Well, we've got a mayor in Dallas that just passed like ... I think it's up to $1,500, they don't prosecute. So literally, somebody could walk into my merch store there in Dallas and take $1,499-

   16. JRJoe Rogan3:37

       Steal $1,499 worth of merchandise.

   17. RRRichard Rawlings3:37

       ... (laughs) and walk out and they won't even get in trouble.

   18. JRJoe Rogan3:39

       That is so ridiculous.

   19. RRRichard Rawlings3:41

       Now, I wouldn't advise them to try it because they might get shot, but they won't get in trouble. (laughs)

   20. JRJoe Rogan3:44

       That is so ridiculous though. That, that, that people have the lack of foresight to see how that would become a real problem.

   21. RRRichard Rawlings3:51

       We're starting to get a lot of, uh, homeless problems here too in, in Dallas-

   22. JRJoe Rogan3:54

       Yeah.

   23. RRRichard Rawlings3:54

       ... and Texas period. Austin's pretty bad. I ... It's the first time I've sp- spent the night here in a long time and I was like, "Wow, that's a big community of homeless."

   24. JRJoe Rogan4:01

       Well, you've got so many people out of work. I mean, what are, what are the numbers of people out of work? It's, it's some insane numbers, man.

   25. RRRichard Rawlings4:07

       It's millions.

   26. JRJoe Rogan4:07

       30s, 30%?

   27. RRRichard Rawlings4:09

       Yeah.

   28. JRJoe Rogan4:09

       You know, something crazy like that. When you have something like that, you're gonna get a lot more homeless people. There's people that were like barely on the edge.

   29. RRRichard Rawlings4:15

       Mm-hmm.

   30. JRJoe Rogan4:17

       The question is, how do you bring them back? How do you get them back into society? How do you, how do you help them out? How do you get them housing? How do ... I mean, 'cause some of them are drug addicts and mentally ill, but some of them are just people that are down on their luck. And in this sort of environment, like it's not even their fault. They didn't even do anything wrong-
3. 5:00 – 6:38

   Fitness, aging, and COVID reality checks

   1. JRJoe Rogan5:00

      (rock music plays) You think that's gonna be better? You gonna be lining up for the fucking vaccination? What are you gonna do, bro? You gonna wait?

   2. RRRichard Rawlings5:05

      I don't know. I think I'm gonna hang out.

   3. JRJoe Rogan5:07

      (laughs)

   4. RRRichard Rawlings5:07

      I think I'm gonna hang out and see how everybody else does, uh, because, uh, I'm just not sure. I don't, I don't consider myself against the vaccine. I can just consider myself, uh, let's wait and see, you know. (laughs) Let's hang out.

   5. JRJoe Rogan5:19

      Yeah. Um, I know a lot of people that have gotten the, uh, disease and I know a couple of them that got, got it really bad, real bad. Like one of them... Two of them almost died.

   6. RRRichard Rawlings5:31

      Wow.

   7. JRJoe Rogan5:32

      Yeah.

   8. RRRichard Rawlings5:32

      And-

   9. JRJoe Rogan5:32

      One of them was an older gentleman and, uh, one of them was a young guy that was just worn the fuck out when he got sick. And he was, he was beat down already and, you know, not-... at his healthiest, but-

   10. RRRichard Rawlings5:43

       Yeah.

   11. JRJoe Rogan5:43

       ... he's only in his 40s and he almost died.

   12. RRRichard Rawlings5:46

       Don't tell me that. We're in our 50s.

   13. JRJoe Rogan5:48

       That's what I'm saying, bro.

   14. RRRichard Rawlings5:49

       (laughs)

   15. JRJoe Rogan5:49

       What, you taking vitamins now? Your wife's got you working out.

   16. RRRichard Rawlings5:52

       Oh, yeah. Yeah, uh-

   17. JRJoe Rogan5:53

       Oh, man, you're getting pumped?

   18. RRRichard Rawlings5:55

       No, I- I'd like to say that, uh, I don't work out. I hope things work out.

   19. JRJoe Rogan6:00

       (laughs)

   20. RRRichard Rawlings6:00

       (laughs) But, uh, you know, uh, now she's got me, uh, going up to the gym and, uh, upstairs and, and like, like she said a minute ago, it's like I'm walking the green mile, like I'm going to death.

   21. JRJoe Rogan6:09

       (laughs)

   22. RRRichard Rawlings6:09

       (laughs) I like walking up the stairs all sad and slumped over and...

   23. JRJoe Rogan6:13

       Dude, you got a trainer, and I'm telling you if you just stick with it, once you start seeing yourself looking good, you start getting some abs-

   24. RRRichard Rawlings6:19

       What the hell you talking about, Joe? Look at this.

   25. JRJoe Rogan6:20

       ... start looking jacked, you, you look better, excuse me.

   26. RRRichard Rawlings6:22

       (laughs)

   27. JRJoe Rogan6:23

       Better, better than the already pristine condition you find yourself in currently.

   28. RRRichard Rawlings6:26

       On the outside.

   29. JRJoe Rogan6:27

       Yeah.

   30. RRRichard Rawlings6:27

       (laughs) The inside's all jacked up.
4. 6:38 – 12:16

   Fast N’ Loud is over: leaving Discovery, being a ‘free agent,’ and creative reset

   1. JRJoe Rogan6:38

      (laughs) So what's happening with your show, man? What are you doing? What's the latest?

   2. RRRichard Rawlings6:41

      Oh, shit. You're just gonna go right for the big ones, huh?

   3. JRJoe Rogan6:43

      Let's, let's get in there, man.

   4. RRRichard Rawlings6:44

      All right, da, da, da.

   5. JRJoe Rogan6:45

      First of all, I love your show. I've been loving it for years. It's fun. And I'm a giant muscle car fan, so-

   6. RRRichard Rawlings6:50

      Yeah.

   7. JRJoe Rogan6:50

      ... it's right up my alley. But, uh, what's the latest?

   8. RRRichard Rawlings6:53

      Well, everybody hold onto your hat out there. Fast N' Loud is no more.

   9. JRJoe Rogan6:58

      (gasps) .

   10. RRRichard Rawlings7:00

       Uh, I have exited Discovery and, uh-

   11. JRJoe Rogan7:02

       (gasps) .

   12. RRRichard Rawlings7:02

       ... I'm a free agent.

   13. JRJoe Rogan7:03

       What?

   14. RRRichard Rawlings7:04

       We're gonna be doing some cool things in 2021 and, and, uh, it just was, uh, a perfect storm, so to speak. It was time for me to, uh, uh, expand, grow a little bit, and I'd kinda gotten to the top of that mountain, uh, being Discovery and there, there wasn't anything else for me to do there, so...

   15. JRJoe Rogan7:18

       Wow.

   16. RRRichard Rawlings7:19

       I used, uh, you know, this year, uh, to kinda rethink and, uh, reshape what I wanna do in the future, and, uh, so, uh, Fast N' Loud, no mas.

   17. JRJoe Rogan7:28

       Geez Louise.

   18. RRRichard Rawlings7:30

       Hey, man, eight years though, and, and-

   19. JRJoe Rogan7:31

       That's a long run. That's a very good run.

   20. RRRichard Rawlings7:33

       You know, 300-ish episodes and-

   21. JRJoe Rogan7:35

       Woo!

   22. RRRichard Rawlings7:35

       ... and, uh, y- you know-

   23. JRJoe Rogan7:37

       That's a lot.

   24. RRRichard Rawlings7:38

       There's only so many times you can buy a car, fix a car, sell a car, and it was time to make some changes, make it more fun. And, uh, so the stuff we've got coming out in 2021's gonna be quite a blast.

   25. JRJoe Rogan7:47

       What are you (whimpers) .

   26. RRRichard Rawlings7:49

       Well, you know, I don't wanna just let the cat out of the bag, so to speak, so it's a-

   27. JRJoe Rogan7:53

       You selling them Wonder Woman bracelets?

   28. RRRichard Rawlings7:54

       Yeah. (laughs)

   29. JRJoe Rogan7:56

       (laughs) You're shaking off bullets with those. Ka-ching!

   30. RRRichard Rawlings7:58

       Yeah, a- a lady asked me one time, she goes, "Don't those bother you when they make noise?" (laughs) I said, "They only make noise when I do this." (laughs)
5. 12:16 – 20:09

   Modern restomods and dream builds: Roadster Shop, chassis tech, and a John Wick Chevelle

   1. RRRichard Rawlings12:16

      I just got my chassis in for a '59 Corvette that I'm, uh-

   2. JRJoe Rogan12:19

      Woo!

   3. RRRichard Rawlings12:19

      ... building for a guy in Spain, and, uh, we've changed it to right-hand drive, Roadster Shop chassis all the way.

   4. JRJoe Rogan12:24

      Why'd you go right-hand drive? What are you, crazy?

   5. RRRichard Rawlings12:25

      'Cause he's gonna be over in Spain.

   6. JRJoe Rogan12:27

      Oh.

   7. RRRichard Rawlings12:27

      Yeah, so, uh, um, we're gonna start building that car here pretty quick.

   8. JRJoe Rogan12:32

      How hard is that? That's gotta be a big undertaking.

   9. RRRichard Rawlings12:35

      Let me tell you how easy it is.

   10. JRJoe Rogan12:36

       Really?

   11. RRRichard Rawlings12:36

       Roadster Shop did it on their, on their system and made the frame that way.

   12. JRJoe Rogan12:40

       Oh!

   13. RRRichard Rawlings12:40

       So literally, I just move the steering wheel and I'm done.

   14. JRJoe Rogan12:44

       Wow.

   15. RRRichard Rawlings12:45

       Plugs right in.

   16. JRJoe Rogan12:46

       It is so cool that there's companies like them and Detroit Speed, these aftermarket companies that build these, like, really trick chassis-

   17. RRRichard Rawlings12:52

       Mm-hmm.

   18. JRJoe Rogan12:53

       ... that you can s- take and stick on like a '70 Chevelle and do it up and it'll handle much better, you know, independent suspension.

   19. RRRichard Rawlings13:01

       Yeah.

   20. JRJoe Rogan13:01

       Ah, it's so nice.

   21. RRRichard Rawlings13:02

       What's really cool is the second you get the chassis, you're going back together. You're building your car.

   22. JRJoe Rogan13:07

       Mm-hmm.

   23. RRRichard Rawlings13:07

       You know, you're not taking it all apart then having to operate on all this other stuff. You just yank it off the old chassis and start building.

   24. JRJoe Rogan13:13

       Yes. So it's a cool time to own a muscle car, because you can get a muscle car that actually can handle like a modern car. It's not a death trap.

   25. RRRichard Rawlings13:22

       Correct.

   26. JRJoe Rogan13:23

       Yeah.

   27. RRRichard Rawlings13:23

       Yeah. And, and, you know, (laughs) I, I remember back when all the chassis modifications really started happening and some of the jobs that I'd see come through were (whistles) they were chance-

   28. JRJoe Rogan13:32

       A little shaky.

   29. RRRichard Rawlings13:33

       (laughs) Yeah.

   30. JRJoe Rogan13:34

       A little shaky. Yeah, so Roadster Shop is, uh, putting a 900-horsepower Mercury engine in it and, uh, changing it to a six-speed, putting their chassis on it and, you know, and making, making the, the whole thing handle correctly.
6. 20:09 – 24:20

   Movie cars, internet weirdness, and a harsh reminder about freedom

   1. JRJoe Rogan20:09

      That's from the movie Gone in 60 Seconds. Where did the term Eleanor come from?

   2. RRRichard Rawlings20:15

      It was like a... His nickname. In the movie it was like he named all the cars. "We're going to get Eleanor, we're gonna get Mary, we're going to get so-and-so." So that was the name of that particular car on this list.

   3. JRJoe Rogan20:24

      That movie's terrible, but the car's amazing. A car can make a movie. And that's-

   4. RRRichard Rawlings20:29

      Angelina Jolie looked pretty good in that movie.

   5. JRJoe Rogan20:31

      She's... She looks good always.

   6. RRRichard Rawlings20:32

      That movie was just... She... At her best.

   7. JRJoe Rogan20:34

      Here's a crazy thing. Do you know there's a girl online that they called Zombie Angelina Jolie and they thought that what was going on was this young lady was having so much plastic surgery that she was ruining her face, but it's not true. She was just using crazy filters and Photoshop and...

   8. RRRichard Rawlings20:56

      No, I have no idea why.

   9. JRJoe Rogan20:56

      She just got sentenced to 10 years-

   10. RRRichard Rawlings20:59

       What?

   11. JRJoe Rogan20:59

       She just got sentenced to 10 years in jail in Iran for social media posts.

   12. RRRichard Rawlings21:05

       I heard about this.

   13. JRJoe Rogan21:05

       Dude, Iran is a sketchy place to be right now.

   14. RRRichard Rawlings21:09

       It's, uh...

   15. JRJoe Rogan21:09

       This is... That's not... See that picture? That's... Look at her hand.

   16. RRRichard Rawlings21:13

       Oh. (laughs)

   17. JRJoe Rogan21:14

       It's just fully photoshopped. She just twister now...

   18. RRRichard Rawlings21:17

       (laughs)

   19. JRJoe Rogan21:17

       Now show what the real image of what she actually looks like. She's actually a very pretty young girl.

   20. RRRichard Rawlings21:24

       Uh, it's in the video.

   21. JRJoe Rogan21:24

       Yeah, but this is all, like... When you see that photo, just... There's a photo of her. There's a... Yeah, you just went back to it. Just go back to where you were. See that? That's what she actually looks like. She's actually a very pretty girl and she's got mental health problems and so she... That image on the right is just...

   22. RRRichard Rawlings21:40

       Wow.

   23. JRJoe Rogan21:40

       She just used Photoshop and made herself look like that, but she doesn't really look like that.

   24. RRRichard Rawlings21:44

       Just...

   25. JRJoe Rogan21:44

       She looks like a pretty young girl and she's only 20 years old and she's gonna go to jail for 10 fucking years.

   26. RRRichard Rawlings21:52

       10? That's crazy.

   27. JRJoe Rogan21:52

       For social media posts. So if you ever complain about America, I want you to pay attention to what the fuck is going on in the rest of the world, because this is going on in Iran right now. They killed an Olympic wrestler recently because he was at a peaceful protest. They executed him. I mean, this guy was a stud wrestler and it was a huge deal. The UFC Dana White made a plea to the Iranian government, asked them to not kill him. They executed him anyway. And then they just put this young lady in jail for 10-

   28. RRRichard Rawlings22:19

       That's crazy.

   29. JRJoe Rogan22:19

       ... fucking years. Corruption of young people and disrespect for the Islamic republic. I mean, it is crazy. And this girl, she has mental health issues. She's been hospitalized for them. She's legitimately mentally ill and they put her in jail for 10 fucking years.

   30. RRRichard Rawlings22:36

       It's only gonna make her worse.
7. 24:20 – 29:14

   Lockdowns and small business pain: Gas Monkey Bar & Grill conflict and court gridlock

   1. RRRichard Rawlings24:20

      They're completely locked down again right now, aren't they?

   2. JRJoe Rogan24:22

      Yeah, you can't even go eat outside. There's a 10:00 PM curfew in Los Angeles.

   3. RRRichard Rawlings24:28

      That's ridiculous.

   4. JRJoe Rogan24:28

      It's insane. There's no science behind it either. There's no science that shows that if you get people to stay home after 10:00 PM that there's less transmission. There's no science. Nothing. It's arbitrary decisions that are made by politicians. And that's, that's the, the minimum. The outdoor dining thing is the most egregious, because you have all these people that spent so much money to try to convert their restaurants and make these outdoor dining space, spent thousands of dollars they didn't even fucking have-

   5. RRRichard Rawlings24:55

      Yeah.

   6. JRJoe Rogan24:55

      ... 'cause they just wanted to stay open. And then they just get shut down.

   7. RRRichard Rawlings24:58

      Did you see the lady the other day that was just crying-

   8. JRJoe Rogan25:00

      Yeah.

   9. RRRichard Rawlings25:00

      ... because she put out the outdoor dining and then they set up production, movie production-

   10. JRJoe Rogan25:04

       Right next door.

   11. RRRichard Rawlings25:05

       ... right next to her.

   12. JRJoe Rogan25:05

       They're feeding people right next door to where her outdoor dining is shut down.

   13. RRRichard Rawlings25:09

       Yeah, it's shut down.

   14. JRJoe Rogan25:10

       It's insane.

   15. RRRichard Rawlings25:11

       It was bad.

   16. JRJoe Rogan25:11

       It's fucking insane.

   17. RRRichard Rawlings25:12

       I was pretty pissed off at that one because we shut down Gas Monkey Bar and Grill for the winter. We're just hanging out, seeing what happens.

   18. JRJoe Rogan25:20

       Now, how long have you had that restaurant?

   19. RRRichard Rawlings25:23

       It's been about seven years, um, and, uh, it's, it's-

   20. JRJoe Rogan25:28

       That's a ch- challenging business.

   21. RRRichard Rawlings25:30

       Well, i- it's, it's tourism. You know, the tourism, they come through and they want to see, you know, they want to see Gas Monkey, they want to see the restaurant, et cetera, and it, it's actually ... I'll tell you how shitty it really is. Uh, I've got a business partner there that, uh, I'll keep my personal thoughts to myself but let's just put it this way, hasn't been all business. And, uh, we, uh, we revoked the license to be Gas Monkey Bar and Grill over two years ago and he basically told me to pound sand. And he's left the sign up and he's been Gas Monkey Bar and Grill for the last t- two years without a license.

   22. JRJoe Rogan26:07

       How does that work?

   23. RRRichard Rawlings26:08

       How it works is I have to go through the courts then. You know, we did it legitimately and Gas Monkey Bar and Grill does not have a license to use our name, but we then have to go through the court system. We were about halfway through the court system and boom, corona. So now no courts because we're ... basically the courts are closed right now.

   24. JRJoe Rogan26:26

       So you ... What, what percentage does that person own versus you?

   25. RRRichard Rawlings26:30

       He owns the majority percentage, uh, because, uh, he was the one putting in the money.

   26. JRJoe Rogan26:34

       And he only had Gas Monkey Bar and Grill for a certain amount of time?

   27. RRRichard Rawlings26:37

       He only had a license to operate under that name. And, uh, from day one it wasn't good (laughs) for me at all. And, uh, then when we revoked the license for not obeying all the rules in the contract and doing all the things that you're supposed to do and protect the brand and keep it an upstanding citizen and all that kind of shit, uh, he just said, "Eh, I don't, I don't believe this letter. Take me to court."

   28. JRJoe Rogan26:59

       Oh, boy.

   29. RRRichard Rawlings27:01

       Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

   30. JRJoe Rogan27:01

       So much fun.
8. 29:14 – 51:47

   What’s next for Richard: podcasting, a ‘food + cars’ genre jump, and insane build timelines

   1. RRRichard Rawlings29:14

      I haven't even ... I haven't even said if I'm gonna be in the automotive field yet.

   2. JRJoe Rogan29:18

      What? You're gonna be in some other kind of field?

   3. RRRichard Rawlings29:20

      (laughs)

   4. JRJoe Rogan29:21

      What are you gonna do?

   5. RRRichard Rawlings29:22

      I'm considering, uh, doing a genre jump.

   6. JRJoe Rogan29:25

      Fitness?

   7. RRRichard Rawlings29:26

      No, it ain't gonna be fitness.

   8. JRJoe Rogan29:27

      Powerlifting?

   9. RRRichard Rawlings29:29

      Yeah, watch Richard's weight gain journey.

   10. JRJoe Rogan29:31

       It's all about gymnastics.

   11. RRRichard Rawlings29:32

       No, it's uh-

   12. JRJoe Rogan29:34

       With Richard Rohr.

   13. RRRichard Rawlings29:34

       I'm actually considering jumping to food.

   14. JRJoe Rogan29:36

       Food?

   15. RRRichard Rawlings29:37

       Yeah. I mean-

   16. JRJoe Rogan29:39

       You gonna do a food show?

   17. RRRichard Rawlings29:40

       I'm thinking about it.

   18. JRJoe Rogan29:40

       Is this because of your experience with the grill, the bar and grill?

   19. RRRichard Rawlings29:44

       It's a little bit of that, but it's also ... I'm into food. I'm a big chef at home and, uh-

   20. JRJoe Rogan29:48

       What kind of shit you cook?

   21. RRRichard Rawlings29:49

       I can cook anything.

   22. JRJoe Rogan29:50

       Really?

   23. RRRichard Rawlings29:51

       Yeah. Yeah, I'm a big, uh ... You know, you had my buddy, Matt Pittman, over here the other day.

   24. JRJoe Rogan29:55

       Yes.

   25. RRRichard Rawlings29:55

       Yeah, so I bought a bunch of his stuff for Meat Church.

   26. JRJoe Rogan29:58

       Shout-out to Meat Church.

   27. RRRichard Rawlings30:00

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

   28. JRJoe Rogan30:03

       His rubs are amazing.

   29. RRRichard Rawlings30:03

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

   30. JRJoe Rogan30:09

       It is, yeah.
9. 51:47 – 58:56

   True crime obsession, influencer danger, and the reality of parasocial fans

   1. RRRichard Rawlings51:47

      Yeah. Uh... Oh, that was one that, uh, I noticed on the way, uh, up here, 'cause I was doing some research on podcasts and what have you. Why in the hell is everybody obsessed with these true crime podcasts?

   2. JRJoe Rogan52:00

      Oh, it's, it's ladies.

   3. RRRichard Rawlings52:00

      I mean, they're like the- Yeah, they're like the-

   4. JRJoe Rogan52:02

      Ladies love them.

   5. RRRichard Rawlings52:04

      Th- these ladies are all learning how to kill us, sir.

   6. JRJoe Rogan52:06

      No.

   7. RRRichard Rawlings52:06

      Yes.

   8. JRJoe Rogan52:07

      No, no, no, no.

   9. RRRichard Rawlings52:07

      (laughs)

   10. JRJoe Rogan52:08

       Do you know what it is?

   11. RRRichard Rawlings52:08

       You got Snapped, you got all this stuff.

   12. JRJoe Rogan52:10

       They, it's, they're confused, and they wanna know why men are such murderous cunts. And so, uh, they watch these true cr- pri- crime podcasts, and they watch those shows on A&E, you know, those mystery, like, who did it and how-

   13. RRRichard Rawlings52:22

       Yeah, the 20/20 stuff.

   14. JRJoe Rogan52:23

       Yeah.

   15. RRRichard Rawlings52:23

       And-

   16. JRJoe Rogan52:24

       Yeah, that's what that is. Uh, that's my take on it, is that women... The reason why women are into it more than men is 'cause they don't technically understand violence the way men do.

   17. RRRichard Rawlings52:34

       Yeah.

   18. JRJoe Rogan52:35

       And so they, they just kinda like, they go, "What the fuck is going on?" Like, and, and probably they're vulnerable, so they're thinking about it all the time.

   19. RRRichard Rawlings52:42

       No, I think the problem, like with that Snapped, it's about women that get all crazy and kill their husband.

   20. JRJoe Rogan52:47

       Oh, Snapped.

   21. RRRichard Rawlings52:48

       Yeah. Get all-

   22. JRJoe Rogan52:49

       And for that, they're excited. They're like, "Yeah, we're gonna get him."

   23. RRRichard Rawlings52:51

       Yeah.

   24. JRJoe Rogan52:52

       "Yeah, yeah."

   25. RRRichard Rawlings52:52

       "I don't need that in my life."

   26. JRJoe Rogan52:53

       It's like that's the re- same reason why chicks like Wonder Woman. They wanna believe that somewhere there's a whole island of girls that kick ass. "Yeah, we gotta get 'em."

   27. RRRichard Rawlings53:00

       (laughs) Well, there's, yeah.

   28. JRJoe Rogan53:01

       "Yeah."

   29. RRRichard Rawlings53:01

       There's... You know. You come home and your wife's watching Snapped for the 300th time that year, you might wanna sleep in another room.

   30. JRJoe Rogan53:07

       Well, you might wanna be nicer to her. How about that?
10. 58:56 – 1:08:01

    Self-sufficient ranch dreams, ammo shortages, and Richard’s early life as a cop/firefighter

    1. JRJoe Rogan58:56

       I bought a place.

    2. RRRichard Rawlings58:56

       Like a, like, ranch? I mean-

    3. JRJoe Rogan58:57

       No, but-

    4. RRRichard Rawlings58:57

       ... 'cause I know Bill Goldberg moved out there and bought a big ranch and-

    5. JRJoe Rogan59:00

       That, that is, uh, the plan.

    6. RRRichard Rawlings59:01

       Okay.

    7. JRJoe Rogan59:01

       The plan is to ultimately... I got a crazy plan. The plan is to have, uh, a place that's completely self-sufficient, like a, a hunting ranch.

    8. RRRichard Rawlings59:12

       Windmill turbines and all that-

    9. JRJoe Rogan59:13

       The whole deal.

    10. RRRichard Rawlings59:14

        ... and solar.

    11. JRJoe Rogan59:14

        Solar power, the whole deal. Everything.

    12. RRRichard Rawlings59:16

        Your own water.

    13. JRJoe Rogan59:16

        Yeah, everything. Yeah. Everything.

    14. RRRichard Rawlings59:18

        Ride on.

    15. JRJoe Rogan59:18

        Yeah. Water, animals, vegetables, food, and then room for friends in case the shit hits the fan. When the shit hit the fan in LA, it, it opened my eyes. And it didn't really hit the fan, like there's... The grocery stores were still open. The supply chain was still functional, but I realized that it didn't have to be that way, and that we got really lucky. And I was really lucky 'cause I, I hunt, so I had a couple commercial freezers on my property that were filled with, with frozen food. So, I had enough... Literally enough meat to feed my family for a year.

    16. RRRichard Rawlings59:56

        That's rad.

    17. JRJoe Rogan59:56

        So, I was good. But there was a real concern 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."

    18. RRRichard Rawlings1:00:35

        So do, do I get-

    19. JRJoe Rogan1:00:35

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

    20. RRRichard Rawlings1:00:35

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

    21. JRJoe Rogan1:00:37

        Fuck yeah, brother. Fuck yeah.

    22. RRRichard Rawlings1:00:38

        Now, just check in the front.

    23. 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.

    24. RRRichard Rawlings1:01:09

        Okay.

    25. 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.

    26. RRRichard Rawlings1:01:20

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

    27. JRJoe Rogan1:01:23

        Preppers?

    28. RRRichard Rawlings1:01:23

        Yeah. (laughs)

    29. 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.

    30. RRRichard Rawlings1:01:33

        Yeah.
11. 1:08:01 – 1:47:47

    Motley Crüe at Gas Monkey, Dodge horsepower wars, and the cursed Hellcat #2 saga

    1. RRRichard Rawlings1:08:01

       And, uh, so I mean, my, my lovely wife, uh, asked me, she's like, "What are you really proud of?" You know, blah. And I'm like, "Well, I got a Hot Wheel. Actually, I have two. And I got to play, I got to film with Burt Reynolds." I'm like, "Good enough." And I had, uh, and I had, uh, uh, Mötley Crüe play at my bar. So for an '80s kid-
