   2. NANarrator0:04

      The Joe Rogan Experience.

   3. NANarrator0:06

      Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night. All day. (rock music) Good morning, man. How are you?

   4. MNMark Normand0:16

      Hey, hey. Good to be here.

   5. JRJoe Rogan0:17

      But you in Texas.

   6. MNMark Normand0:18

      I know, I feel good. I got tested, I feel great.

   7. JRJoe Rogan0:20

      Yes, you're clean, you're clean of cooties.

   8. MNMark Normand0:22

      I've got to be honest, I'm shocked. I thought I'd been super spreading for weeks.

   9. JRJoe Rogan0:26

      (laughs)

   10. MNMark Normand0:27

       I just felt like that in my body, like, "Ah, I must be hurting people."

   11. JRJoe Rogan0:29

       Well, there's a wave going through New York right now.

   12. MNMark Normand0:32

       Oh, yeah.

   13. JRJoe Rogan0:32

       A lot of comics got it.

   14. MNMark Normand0:33

       Everybody's got it. I don't want to say names. I don't know what's out, but holy shit.

   15. JRJoe Rogan0:37

       Yeah. I don't know what's out either.

   16. MNMark Normand0:38

       And it was all, it got all the funny ones, too.

   17. JRJoe Rogan0:39

       Mm-hmm.

   18. MNMark Normand0:39

       It wasn't like, the hacks didn't die. And it's just like real comics, you know, they get Patrice, they get Mitch Hedberg, they get Geraldo. Same with corona.

   19. JRJoe Rogan0:47

       Yeah. Well, you know, the one, those are the ones that are hanging out.

   20. MNMark Normand0:50

       Yeah, good point.

   21. JRJoe Rogan0:51

       You know?

   22. MNMark Normand0:51

       Funny people hang out with funny people.

   23. JRJoe Rogan0:53

       Yeah. That, that is a, like when a comic stops hanging out with comics, never turns out well.

   24. MNMark Normand0:58

       Yeah.

   25. JRJoe Rogan0:58

       When they kind of alienate themselves-

   26. MNMark Normand1:00

       Ooh, good point.

   27. JRJoe Rogan1:00

       ... from other comics. You, you've noticed, right?

   28. MNMark Normand1:02

       Good point. And-

   29. JRJoe Rogan1:02

       They get weird.

   30. MNMark Normand1:04

       And we don't care about scandals or anything. If you're funny, we'll still hang out with you.
2. 1:42 – 6:36

   Getting “standup shape” back: stage rhythm, forgetting bits, and pre-show looseness

   1. MNMark Normand1:42

      Well, the pandemic's a bitch 'cause you can't do standup, but when you get that moment when you're hanging out with the other guys again, you're like, "Oh, this is what I've been missing. I've been going crazy. I felt like a weirdo in my apartment."

   2. JRJoe Rogan1:52

      Well, I've been doing these shows in town with Chappelle, and, uh, I did one of 'em with him, uh, like three weeks ago. Well, I did one with Tony Hinchcliffe at the Vulcan Gas Company like four weeks ago.

   3. MNMark Normand2:03

      Mm-hmm.

   4. JRJoe Rogan2:04

      And, uh, (laughs) Ron White was the funniest ever, 'cause before he's like, "I'm basically retired. I'm just gonna fucking retire, take all my tequila money and just fucking chill out. I'm gonna sell my plane."

   5. MNMark Normand2:14

      Yeah.

   6. JRJoe Rogan2:14

      He started talking all this shit, and then he gets off stage. He did one set that he had, he hadn't, he hadn't done standup in eight months.

   7. MNMark Normand2:20

      Wow.

   8. JRJoe Rogan2:20

      The moment he gets off stage, he grabs me by my shoulders. He goes, "We're fucking doing this, okay?"

   9. MNMark Normand2:25

      (laughs)

   10. JRJoe Rogan2:25

       "We're back."

   11. MNMark Normand2:26

       Yeah.

   12. JRJoe Rogan2:26

       He goes, "I don't give a fuck what we have to do. This must continue." Like, he was like at 10, he was at, at a 10.

   13. MNMark Normand2:33

       It's in you. It's like when you quit drinking and you're like, "Fuck it. Tonight we're drinking." It's the same feeling.

   14. JRJoe Rogan2:37

       (laughs)

   15. MNMark Normand2:37

       You just start chugging again. You're like, "Ah!" You rip your shirt off, you look like Kreischer.

   16. JRJoe Rogan2:41

       Have you ever quit drinking?

   17. MNMark Normand2:43

       I tried for like a week. I just, I like it, and, uh, I'm, I feel like I'm good at it now.

   18. JRJoe Rogan2:48

       Oh.

   19. MNMark Normand2:48

       I'm in my late 30s. I, I've drank since I was 13.

   20. JRJoe Rogan2:51

       (laughs)

   21. MNMark Normand2:51

       I, I got it down. I mean, I'm from New Orleans, you know. You, you get after it out there.

   22. JRJoe Rogan2:55

       Yeah, it's a different world up there.

   23. MNMark Normand2:56

       It's part of the culture. But yeah, no, you're right. The comedy, you need it. Once you get back into it, 'cause we're, I think we're inherently lazy, most comics. We want to put our feet up. Well, not you. You're doing 17 jujitsus and, you know, making coffee and stuff. But like-

   24. JRJoe Rogan3:09

       (laughs)

   25. MNMark Normand3:11

       ... I feel like, uh, we're inherently lazy, but you get us back in that, that limelight, and it, it all percolates.

   26. JRJoe Rogan3:16

       Yeah, well, in terms of like wanting to do it, yeah.

   27. MNMark Normand3:19

       Yeah.

   28. JRJoe Rogan3:19

       Yeah. Well, the, the, the juice is worth the squeeze. It's... Say that again. The juice is worth the squeeze.

   29. MNMark Normand3:25

       Mm-hmm.

   30. JRJoe Rogan3:26

       Like when y- if you can get back into like standup shape, the juice of killing in front of a crowd-
3. 6:36 – 9:47

   Comedy as a fragile art form: bad openers, environmental distractions, and timing analogies

   1. JRJoe Rogan6:36

      Yeah, that's why for m- well, for me, I used to always bring opening acts on the road because-

   2. MNMark Normand6:40

      Hmm. Oh, there you go.

   3. JRJoe Rogan6:41

      ... well, for two reasons. One-... you wanna hang with a guy, want, want a buddy to come with you on the road, but two, you know the person's gonna be funny.

   4. MNMark Normand6:47

      Yeah.

   5. JRJoe Rogan6:48

      'Cause the worst is when you have to sit there through 20 minutes of someone's terrible act and you, you're like, "Oh, no." And you feel bad for the audience-

   6. MNMark Normand6:55

      Right. (laughs) Oh, that's the worst.

   7. JRJoe Rogan6:56

      And, and then I used to feel bad, like comedy doesn't work.

   8. MNMark Normand6:59

      Yeah.

   9. JRJoe Rogan7:00

      Like, "Comedy's not real."

   10. MNMark Normand7:00

       Right, right. "These people hate it. They'll never come see a show again."

   11. JRJoe Rogan7:03

       "This is not comedy. This is... What is comedy? Comedy doesn't, can't be real."

   12. MNMark Normand7:06

       Yeah.

   13. JRJoe Rogan7:06

       "These guys talking? Nothing can be funny."

   14. MNMark Normand7:08

       Well, comedy is pretty flimsy when you really break it down.

   15. JRJoe Rogan7:11

       Yeah.

   16. MNMark Normand7:11

       You know? It's like one little air conditioner, the blender's gone, it's all over.

   17. JRJoe Rogan7:15

       Yeah.

   18. MNMark Normand7:15

       The waitress comes, it's all over. So you're like, "Damn." It's like a boner when you're 48. You know? It's harder to hold.

   19. JRJoe Rogan7:20

       (laughs)

   20. MNMark Normand7:21

       You know?

   21. JRJoe Rogan7:21

       A stumble of words.

   22. MNMark Normand7:23

       Yes, that's it.

   23. JRJoe Rogan7:24

       It slips through your fingers.

   24. MNMark Normand7:24

       It's over.

   25. JRJoe Rogan7:25

       It's gone.

   26. MNMark Normand7:26

       Seinfeld said-

   27. JRJoe Rogan7:26

       Yeah.

   28. MNMark Normand7:26

       ... it was like when a car train goes by, like a ca- a train goes by and one of the cars is missing and you have to jump it with a motorcycle.

   29. JRJoe Rogan7:32

       Hmm.

   30. MNMark Normand7:32

       That one missing car. But if you do too late, you'll hit the-
4. 9:47 – 16:58

   Marriage as a contract: divorce payouts, role reversals, and the manager-spouse dynamic

   1. MNMark Normand9:47

      That's nice. I, I, I kind of wish I had that with like a wife. That's why I'm so scared of marriage.

   2. JRJoe Rogan9:53

      Mm.

   3. MNMark Normand9:53

      Because you change so much from just high school to now or college to now, and then you get a ... you get married and then you change again maybe when you're 62. And then you're stuck with this, uh, plus size lady.

   4. JRJoe Rogan10:05

      (laughs)

   5. MNMark Normand10:05

      And you don't know what the hell to do and how to get out and then you can't meet anybody new because you're 62.

   6. JRJoe Rogan10:10

      That's the problem with the contract of marriage, right? That's the problem, is it is a legal contract.

   7. MNMark Normand10:15

      And it feels-

   8. JRJoe Rogan10:15

      If, if it goes great and you're-

   9. MNMark Normand10:16

      ... very antiquated.

   10. JRJoe Rogan10:18

       It is in a lot of ways. Um, it's very good for, uh, ensuring that there's like a, there's a bond that's not just your word.

   11. MNMark Normand10:27

       Yeah.

   12. JRJoe Rogan10:28

       You know, it's legal. So if you do try to leave, the woman at least has some sort of financial recourse. In some case the men. Every now and then one of us-

   13. MNMark Normand10:36

       That's true.

   14. JRJoe Rogan10:37

       We've, we put one on the board.

   15. MNMark Normand10:39

       Right. (laughs) Yeah.

   16. JRJoe Rogan10:39

       Tom Arnold is our all star.

   17. MNMark Normand10:41

       (laughs) Right.

   18. JRJoe Rogan10:42

       Right?

   19. MNMark Normand10:42

       He's the-

   20. JRJoe Rogan10:42

       In terms of men-

   21. MNMark Normand10:43

       He's the broad.

   22. JRJoe Rogan10:43

       ... who have made money from divorces, he's the GOAT.

   23. MNMark Normand10:47

       Yeah, I think-

   24. JRJoe Rogan10:47

       Right?

   25. MNMark Normand10:47

       ... it's like when a Black cop shoots a white guy. I'm sure it's the same shit-

   26. JRJoe Rogan10:50

       (laughs)

   27. MNMark Normand10:50

       ... with the Black community. Or like when OJ won. I, I, I lived in a Black neighborhood and I could hear the, the yelling and people were going nuts.

   28. JRJoe Rogan10:57

       Tearing.

   29. MNMark Normand10:57

       Yeah.

   30. JRJoe Rogan10:58

       Every now and then a guy wins. Who else do we know of that has made money off of like a high profile divorce where the woman had all the money?
5. 16:58 – 20:32

   Managers, careers, and early podcasting: Joe’s origin story and betting on the internet

   1. JRJoe Rogan16:58

      And i- is it quantifiable? Now, this is where I could speak, because I have the same manager that I had when I was an open mic comedian.

   2. MNMark Normand17:06

      Wow, that's rare.

   3. JRJoe Rogan17:08

      Yeah. Oh yeah, dude. I met Sussman and, uh, I was, uh, I think I was 24. I was like 23 or 24. And, uh, I was terrible. (laughs) And I was an open mic-er.

   4. MNMark Normand17:19

      Yeah, way aware.

   5. JRJoe Rogan17:20

      I was driving a limo. I mean, uh, but I had a few good jokes I could kill, like occasionally.

   6. MNMark Normand17:25

      Uh-huh.

   7. JRJoe Rogan17:25

      You know, I could catch a, I could catch a good wave-

   8. MNMark Normand17:27

      Sure.

   9. JRJoe Rogan17:28

      ... when I was loose. And just randomly he was in Boston looking for comedians. And he had set up a bunch of meetings to see all these different headliners, local headliners on stage. And I didn't know he was there. I didn't know anything was going on. I was driving limos and I called the owner up and I asked him, I said, "I had a funny idea. Could I do five minutes tonight?" 'Cause he was already giving me some spots when I was emceeing some shows.

   10. MNMark Normand17:53

       Yeah.

   11. JRJoe Rogan17:54

       I go, "I got this bit. I think it's, I think it's gonna work. I think I got something." And I went up and I opened with it, and I remember it did get a laugh.

   12. MNMark Normand18:00

       What?

   13. JRJoe Rogan18:00

       Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was like ... I forgo- I wish I could remember the bit, but it was a bit that actually worked. I was like, "Yes! It's real."

   14. MNMark Normand18:06

       Yeah.

   15. JRJoe Rogan18:06

       And then I was real loose, then I went into some of my old stuff. And, um, I got off stage and this guy handed me a business card like a fucking movie.

   16. MNMark Normand18:13

       Wow. The '80s, man.

   17. JRJoe Rogan18:16

       It was like, he goes, "I'm a manager and, uh, I'd, I'd love to, uh, to talk to you and see you do more sets."

   18. MNMark Normand18:22

       Yeah.

   19. JRJoe Rogan18:22

       And I did one next door, across the street, uh, like the next night. And then I went to New York like, uh, maybe two weeks later and did a bunch of sets for him in New York at-

   20. MNMark Normand18:31

       Jeez.

   21. JRJoe Rogan18:32

       ... Catch Rising Star, and then next thing you know I was living in New York.

   22. MNMark Normand18:34

       Wow. Did you fuck him?

   23. JRJoe Rogan18:36

       No.

   24. MNMark Normand18:36

       All right.

   25. JRJoe Rogan18:37

       Still, to this day, never fucked him.

   26. MNMark Normand18:39

       That's- But that's unheard of.

   27. JRJoe Rogan18:40

       So, with that kind of a situation, like, that guy is r- and he, and Chandra, my other manager, they're responsible for a giant part-... of my success-

   28. MNMark Normand18:51

       Yeah.

   29. JRJoe Rogan18:51

       ... because I, I know them so well and I've been with them so much and I trust them and I love them and it's like we have a, we have a friendship as well as like a working relationship.

   30. MNMark Normand19:01

       Mm-hmm.
6. 20:32 – 26:15

   Offensive comedy, “punching up,” and why audiences are the real focus group

   1. JRJoe Rogan20:32

      Well, that's what, everybody's worried about the blowback-

   2. MNMark Normand20:34

      I know.

   3. JRJoe Rogan20:34

      ... from just being a comic. They're worried about, you know, n- uh, the negative response from saying the wrong thing-

   4. MNMark Normand20:41

      Right.

   5. JRJoe Rogan20:41

      ... or joking about the wrong thing.

   6. MNMark Normand20:43

      Yup.

   7. JRJoe Rogan20:44

      Yeah.

   8. MNMark Normand20:44

      I just joke about all the wrong things just 'cause it, I wanna have too many things to find.

   9. JRJoe Rogan20:48

      If we don't keep joking about the wrong things, then the idea of joking about the wrong things will go away. It's-

   10. MNMark Normand20:55

       I agree.

   11. JRJoe Rogan20:55

       If you see Quentin care- Quentin Tarantino has a movie where a woman gets her fucking brains bashed into a fireplace mantelpiece-

   12. MNMark Normand21:03

       (laughs)

   13. JRJoe Rogan21:03

       ... right?

   14. MNMark Normand21:04

       Yeah.

   15. JRJoe Rogan21:04

       Do you, do you get mad at that or do you think that's part of the film? Do you think that this is endorsing violence? What... No, you think it's a kind of weird art-

   16. MNMark Normand21:12

       Yeah.

   17. JRJoe Rogan21:12

       ... where this craziness is happening. But for whatever reason, because the standup is on stage by themselves and they wrote this by themselves, they're not given that same sort of leeway.

   18. MNMark Normand21:20

       Yeah.

   19. JRJoe Rogan21:21

       Like you can't just fuck around about something and say something you don't really mean, but it's-

   20. MNMark Normand21:25

       Yeah.

   21. JRJoe Rogan21:25

       ... outrageous and you're not supposed to say it.

   22. MNMark Normand21:27

       Sure.

   23. JRJoe Rogan21:27

       And you s- that's the reason why it's funny is because you're saying something you're not supposed to say.

   24. MNMark Normand21:31

       I agree because also there's layers to a movie. With a comedy, you can just yell at you.

   25. JRJoe Rogan21:36

       Yeah.

   26. MNMark Normand21:37

       I can just yell at Mark Normand.

   27. JRJoe Rogan21:38

       Yeah.

   28. MNMark Normand21:38

       You know, he, he said this. I have a clip of him. "Look at this piece of shit saying this about, you know, special needs Downsy kids or whatever."

   29. JRJoe Rogan21:44

       Right.

   30. MNMark Normand21:45

       But then with the, with the, with the Tarantino, it's a director, it's a filmmaker, there's actors involved-
7. 26:15 – 46:09

   Twitter, resentment, and bombing: how insecurity fuels call-outs (even from other comics)

   1. JRJoe Rogan26:15

      Here's what happened. Everyone who got on social media, everyone, everyone has the ability to comment on things. And some of the people commenting on things are not good at comedy.

   2. MNMark Normand26:27

      Yes.

   3. JRJoe Rogan26:28

      A lot of them.

   4. MNMark Normand26:28

      A lot of them, most of them.

   5. JRJoe Rogan26:29

      There's a lot of them that are comics that are commenting on it.

   6. MNMark Normand26:32

      Yeah.

   7. JRJoe Rogan26:32

      And they're not good at comedy. They're comics, but they're passable.

   8. MNMark Normand26:37

      Sure.

   9. JRJoe Rogan26:37

      They don't do well. They don't have thriving careers. And their, their, their act is (imitates buzzing)

   10. MNMark Normand26:42

       Right, right.

   11. JRJoe Rogan26:43

       Sometimes it's okay, you know? I'm not, like, being totally ob- objective.

   12. MNMark Normand26:47

       Yeah.

   13. JRJoe Rogan26:47

       Maybe they could have put a little more work in.

   14. MNMark Normand26:49

       Right.

   15. JRJoe Rogan26:49

       Maybe they could have figured it out better. Maybe they could have... Whatever's wrong, whatever... You know, it just, sometimes it doesn't work out for people.

   16. MNMark Normand26:57

       Yeah, yeah. It happens.

   17. JRJoe Rogan26:58

       Those are the loudest voices-

   18. MNMark Normand27:00

       Right.

   19. JRJoe Rogan27:00

       ... against very successful, outrageous guys like Louis or like Joey Diaz-

   20. MNMark Normand27:07

       Mm-hmm.

   21. JRJoe Rogan27:07

       ... or like many of the other ones that people get mad at for bits.

   22. MNMark Normand27:10

       It's just new though, the comics attacking comics.

   23. JRJoe Rogan27:13

       It's not good.

   24. MNMark Normand27:14

       That's not good. And I, when I started, that wasn't even a thought.

   25. JRJoe Rogan27:17

       No.

   26. MNMark Normand27:17

       You'd be like, "Wait, what are you doing? You know what I, why I said that horrible thing. I'm trying to get a laugh here."

   27. JRJoe Rogan27:21

       But it's never guys like Chris Rock or Dave Chappelle-

   28. MNMark Normand27:25

       No. No.

   29. JRJoe Rogan27:25

       Or, or, you know, it's never Bill Burr attacking comics.

   30. MNMark Normand27:28

       No.
8. 46:09 – 52:18

   Identity politics and the “stack of coins” metaphor

   1. MNMark Normand46:09

      But that's one thing ... I think when you focus on your group too much, you're already fucked, like, "I'm an Italian guy, and I think this, and we gotta stick the-"

   2. JRJoe Rogan46:15

      The worst.

   3. MNMark Normand46:15

      "And I'm a woman, and I'm a Black, and I'm a gay guy." It's like, "Just do your shit, and kill it, and then everything will fall into place." Don't worry about what group you're in. I know, I know obviously some people have to make groups to protect themselves.

   4. JRJoe Rogan46:26

      Well, it's so you get a free, uh, like, stack of coins.

   5. MNMark Normand46:30

      Mm-hmm.

   6. JRJoe Rogan46:30

      It's identity politics. In identity politics, you get a free stack of coins if you go in with an identity. But-

   7. MNMark Normand46:35

      Oh, I see what you're saying.

   8. JRJoe Rogan46:37

      If you walk in, like you walk in the conversation as, uh, um, an, a woman from India-

   9. MNMark Normand46:44

      Yes.

   10. JRJoe Rogan46:44

       ... like, you get a stack of coins- (die clatters)

   11. MNMark Normand46:46

       Right.

   12. JRJoe Rogan46:46

       ... right away. You get a little stack, and you identify as a woman from India. Now these other women from India are like, "Oh, she's one of us."

   13. MNMark Normand46:53

       Yeah.

   14. JRJoe Rogan46:54

       "Uh, she's on the team." You know?

   15. MNMark Normand46:55

       Right.

   16. JRJoe Rogan46:56

       If you just wanna go in there as a human being-

   17. MNMark Normand46:58

       Yeah, just be Jugdish.

   18. JRJoe Rogan46:59

       ... you get-

   19. MNMark Normand46:59

       Why do you need the group?

   20. JRJoe Rogan47:00

       You get no stack.

   21. MNMark Normand47:01

       Ah.

   22. JRJoe Rogan47:01

       You don't start off-

   23. MNMark Normand47:03

       That's interesting.

   24. JRJoe Rogan47:04

       You don't start off with a stack of coins. You gotta earn all your coins.

   25. MNMark Normand47:07

       Right.

   26. JRJoe Rogan47:07

       Right? So identity politics, in a lot of ways, is people ... They want ... First of all, there's people that want equality and they don't wanna be marginalized and they want people to treat them ... They want people to treat them well. So they go into it saying like, "Look, I am also ..." Like, uh, like, uh, gay people. "I am also a person who's gay, and I just think we're just people."

   27. MNMark Normand47:27

       Yeah.

   28. JRJoe Rogan47:28

       "And, uh, I rep, I, I represent gay people 'cause I want you to know that we're just people."

   29. MNMark Normand47:32

       Mm-hmm.

   30. JRJoe Rogan47:32

       That's one way of doing it. But some people don't do that. They go into it as someone who's already oppressed, and here's ... "I want my stack of coins."
9. 52:18 – 1:03:09

   Coffee, energy drinks, Diet Coke, and old-Hollywood body hacks

   1. JRJoe Rogan52:18

      I smoked weed.

   2. MNMark Normand52:18

      Kahn.

   3. JRJoe Rogan52:19

      I smoked weed before this show. Goddammit.

   4. MNMark Normand52:21

      Oh, I heard that-

   5. JRJoe Rogan52:22

      Weed is great and it's terrible at the same time.

   6. MNMark Normand52:23

      It'll cloud your mind.

   7. JRJoe Rogan52:24

      It will, uh, open doors of your mind, but then the breeze goes through and-

   8. MNMark Normand52:27

      There you go.

   9. JRJoe Rogan52:28

      ... knocks other doors shut and you're like, "What happened?" Well, you-

   10. MNMark Normand52:30

       It's nothing.

   11. JRJoe Rogan52:30

       ... you let in the breeze. You let in that weed breeze.

   12. MNMark Normand52:32

       I wish I liked weed. I wi- I see all my friends toking all day and eating brownies and shit, and I'm like, "I would be ruined if I did that."

   13. JRJoe Rogan52:40

       What were we talking about right before I brought her up?

   14. MNMark Normand52:44

       Uh, shit. Jugdish, the Indian lady.

   15. JRJoe Rogan52:48

       Cunt jokes.

   16. MNMark Normand52:49

       Yeah. Uh, we're all in a green room jizzing on each other with the, with the truth and they're, everybody's on Twitter and full of shit.

   17. JRJoe Rogan52:56

       I had it. I had it right there.

   18. NANarrator52:57

       Don't start saying her name because she says whatever she wants on Twitter.

   19. JRJoe Rogan53:00

       Yeah, but there was a reason. I had a point-

   20. NANarrator53:01

       Oh.

   21. JRJoe Rogan53:01

       ... and I forgot what the point was.

   22. MNMark Normand53:03

       Yeah! It'll come back.

   23. JRJoe Rogan53:03

       Son of a bitch.

   24. MNMark Normand53:04

       See, that sativa will get you there, Fatty.

   25. JRJoe Rogan53:06

       Ugh!

   26. MNMark Normand53:07

       Yeah.

   27. JRJoe Rogan53:07

       Also, I'm fasting, so-

   28. MNMark Normand53:09

       Oh, really?

   29. JRJoe Rogan53:09

       Yeah. So today is, uh, I'm not eating until, uh, after the show.

   30. MNMark Normand53:14

       What a country. We fast on purpose, baby.
10. 1:03:09 – 1:05:22

    Sex, pornography, and taboo myths: from ‘don’t masturbate’ to modern access

    1. MNMark Normand1:03:09

       Can you imagine how pent-up dudes must have been in the '40s or '30s? I mean, first of all, you look at a pinup and they're all creaming themselves. But, like, we all look at porn so much, it's so accessible. There's women walking around with nothing on now. Like, back then, you couldn't look at porn, you couldn't ... you just had to imagine shit.

    2. JRJoe Rogan1:03:26

       Yeah.

    3. MNMark Normand1:03:27

       That's crazy.

    4. JRJoe Rogan1:03:28

       And masturbation was greatly discouraged.

    5. MNMark Normand1:03:30

       That's right.

    6. JRJoe Rogan1:03:31

       You were taught that you were gonna be, you know ... You're a bad person. You're gonna go blind.
