   3. JRJoe Rogan0:06

      Train by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night. All day. (rock music) Woo!

   4. BSBrendan Schaub0:15

      That's nice.

   5. JRJoe Rogan0:16

      Are we up? Oh. So tell me about that watch. What is that?

   6. BSBrendan Schaub0:19

      (clears throat) This is a Heuer from 1950.

   7. JRJoe Rogan0:21

      1950.

   8. BSBrendan Schaub0:21

      So before ... Yeah. So before TAG bought Heuer-

   9. JRJoe Rogan0:25

      Is it TAG or is it Tog?

   10. BSBrendan Schaub0:26

       It depends. My dad always told me TAG.

   11. JRJoe Rogan0:29

       Oh, okay.

   12. BSBrendan Schaub0:29

       Might be TAG, though.

   13. JRJoe Rogan0:31

       Well, it's spelled T-A-G. It could be Tog.

   14. BSBrendan Schaub0:33

       Yeah.

   15. JRJoe Rogan0:33

       TAG, Tog.

   16. BSBrendan Schaub0:34

       But before they collabed with them or went into business with them, there was just Heuer. So this is a 1950 Heuer.

   17. JRJoe Rogan0:40

       Wow.

   18. BSBrendan Schaub0:41

       That's pretty cool.

   19. JRJoe Rogan0:41

       That's an old fucking watch.

   20. BSBrendan Schaub0:43

       Super old, man.

   21. JRJoe Rogan0:43

       That's kind of cool.

   22. BSBrendan Schaub0:44

       Definitely haunted.

   23. JRJoe Rogan0:45

       Yeah, right?

   24. BSBrendan Schaub0:46

       Yeah.

   25. JRJoe Rogan0:46

       There's something cool about that, right?

   26. BSBrendan Schaub0:48

       Yeah.

   27. JRJoe Rogan0:48

       Having something that's that old.

   28. BSBrendan Schaub0:49

       Oh, that... And no one else ... you know, you're not gonna see a lot of it. That's why I like shit no one else has.

   29. JRJoe Rogan0:54

       Yeah.

   30. BSBrendan Schaub0:54

       Kind of like cars. You and I are the-
2. 15:00 – 30:00

   (clears throat) …

   1. NANarrator15:00

      story. Underemployed and unemployed sitting at home in their pajamas using the power of the internet and new trading platforms like Robinhood to destroy the kings of American finance. We are never going to go back to the old ways of doing business, and Wall Street knows this. So what's their solution? It's one that we, my friends, must resist absolutely at all costs. Now they know that they do not have a monopoly on manipulating the market, they are gonna do everything in their power to go after you and people like me who are not on the side of the billionaire elite. As I laid out yesterday, they are already going into overdrive on CNBC, who started off yesterday by inviting the literal CEO of the NASDAQ on-

   2. BSBrendan Schaub15:44

      (clears throat)

   3. NANarrator15:44

      ... to call for more regulation. Let's take a listen to that again.

   4. One of the things that we're talking about is m- maybe misinformation and, and, uh, pump and dumps, and it's occurring on social media again. It just ... I- I'm wondering whether it's part of the same problem, the type of regulation that, that, uh, that we finally need to, uh, to consider. And like I said, uh, we should always have a light touch with regulation, but you're- you're seeing the way things can get started again. This is different. Maybe it's Reddit, maybe it's not Facebook. But you're seeing the, the, the same situation. The- the- the-

   5. BSBrendan Schaub16:16

      He's flustered.

   6. NANarrator16:16

      At this point it's not about an election-

   7. BSBrendan Schaub16:18

      Yeah, like a motherfucker.

   8. NANarrator16:18

      ... it's not about a, uh-

   9. JRJoe Rogan16:19

      Well, he's also ... Pause for a second.

   10. NANarrator16:20

       ... an insurrection, but-

   11. JRJoe Rogan16:20

       Pause for a second. He's also calling for regulation.

   12. BSBrendan Schaub16:24

       Yes.

   13. JRJoe Rogan16:25

       They never call for regulation.

   14. BSBrendan Schaub16:27

       Never.

   15. JRJoe Rogan16:27

       Assholes like him-

   16. BSBrendan Schaub16:29

       He's super flustered. Never.

   17. JRJoe Rogan16:29

       ... the last thing that guy wants-

   18. BSBrendan Schaub16:30

       Yeah.

   19. JRJoe Rogan16:30

       ... in terms of, like, being able to manipulate the market and make as much money as possible-

   20. BSBrendan Schaub16:35

       Yeah.

   21. JRJoe Rogan16:35

       ... is fucking regulation.

   22. BSBrendan Schaub16:35

       Yeah.

   23. JRJoe Rogan16:36

       So him calling for regulation-

   24. BSBrendan Schaub16:38

       That's cold (laughs) .

   25. JRJoe Rogan16:38

       ... is kind of hilarious. And him saying that they're manipulating it with social media, like, this is literally what they do.

   26. BSBrendan Schaub16:45

       Yep.

   27. JRJoe Rogan16:45

       It's what they do.

   28. BSBrendan Schaub16:46

       Yep.

   29. NANarrator16:47

       Yeah.

   30. JRJoe Rogan16:47

       Keep going. His net bothers me.
3. 30:00 – 45:00

   Well, you know, that,…

   1. BSBrendan Schaub30:00

      saying they were having a conversation, I think today or Friday, that the Comedy Store in La Jolla is gonna open up next month hopefully.

   2. JRJoe Rogan30:06

      Well, you know, that, that makes sense. I wanna pull something that, um, someone sent me because, uh, it's-

   3. BSBrendan Schaub30:12

      About California?

   4. JRJoe Rogan30:13

      Yeah. The Comedy Store in La Jolla should have been opened up a long fucking time ago. They wanted to do shows in the back, back department a lot.

   5. BSBrendan Schaub30:19

      Dude, I was booked there and... Like two months ago and they yanked it.

   6. JRJoe Rogan30:23

      Yeah.Yeah, it's not good, dude.

   7. BSBrendan Schaub30:25

      They're gonna open up. I, I told Emily I'll do it for free, just give the staff the money, whate- when the comedy store in LA opens, I'll do it, whatever they wanna do.

   8. JRJoe Rogan30:33

      Good for you, dude.

   9. BSBrendan Schaub30:33

      Yeah.

   10. JRJoe Rogan30:34

       I had, um, uh, Craig from Craig's and, uh, John Terzarian, um-

   11. BSBrendan Schaub30:39

       From LA, Craig's?

   12. JRJoe Rogan30:41

       Yeah. They're great restaurant. Yes. How do you say John's last name? Terzian? Terzian?

   13. NANarrator30:46

       Yeah.

   14. JRJoe Rogan30:46

       It's Terzian, not Terzarian. Um, and John was telling me that when he was speaking out against the regulators, that... And, and the regulations they were putting down in Los Angeles, they were visiting his place every fucking day.

   15. BSBrendan Schaub31:00

       Oh, yeah.

   16. JRJoe Rogan31:00

       Every day. And he's like, "You have thousands of restaurants." He's like, "Well, I'm, it's not my fault. We're told to come here every day." Like, they were fucking with him.

   17. BSBrendan Schaub31:07

       Yep.

   18. JRJoe Rogan31:08

       So that, that's Garcetti.

   19. BSBrendan Schaub31:09

       Mafia.

   20. JRJoe Rogan31:09

       Yeah. That's, they're, they're doing shady shit-

   21. BSBrendan Schaub31:12

       Garcetti.

   22. JRJoe Rogan31:12

       ... because they don't like this pressure, they don't like criticism. So, they're abusing their power-

   23. BSBrendan Schaub31:18

       Yep.

   24. JRJoe Rogan31:19

       ... because they don't like criticism.

   25. BSBrendan Schaub31:20

       And they're gonna lose their jobs.

   26. JRJoe Rogan31:21

       Hopefully. Please.

   27. BSBrendan Schaub31:22

       Garcetti, name a bigger pussy.

   28. JRJoe Rogan31:24

       Hopefully.

   29. BSBrendan Schaub31:24

       Name a... Dude. Unreal.

   30. JRJoe Rogan31:27

       Now-
4. 45:00 – 1:00:00

   Everyone, yeah. …

   1. JRJoe Rogan45:00

      put on Instagram, where y- you watch those. I would send those clips to people and they'd be like, "Holy shit."

   2. BSBrendan Schaub45:04

      Everyone, yeah.

   3. JRJoe Rogan45:04

      Like, I put them up on my Instagram and they would get millions of views, because they were that good.

   4. BSBrendan Schaub45:08

      Monster.

   5. JRJoe Rogan45:11

      Yeah.

   6. BSBrendan Schaub45:11

      Monster. You know, there's a few comics or podcasters or, you know, comedians who figured out in COVID how, how to adjust and capitalize on it.

   7. JRJoe Rogan45:20

      They hustled.

   8. BSBrendan Schaub45:20

      And a lot of them just disappeared.

   9. JRJoe Rogan45:22

      Yeah, but that's the guys that don't hustle.

   10. BSBrendan Schaub45:23

       Well, that's what-

   11. JRJoe Rogan45:24

       Those are the same guys that don't write a lot.

   12. BSBrendan Schaub45:25

       (clears throat) That's what Mark Normand said. I had him on the podcast. He goes, "You know, the... In hindsight, COVID's kind of good, because you're gonna find out who can, who can hack it and who can't, man."

   13. JRJoe Rogan45:33

       Yeah.

   14. BSBrendan Schaub45:33

       "Who c- who can deal with it and adapt and be a real comedian and move on."

   15. JRJoe Rogan45:36

       And who's got balls.

   16. BSBrendan Schaub45:37

       Yes.

   17. JRJoe Rogan45:38

       Who takes chances.

   18. BSBrendan Schaub45:38

       Yep.

   19. JRJoe Rogan45:39

       Yeah. And there's a lot of people that are just like, they're like, "Woe is me. When is ev- everything gonna open? When can I call in and get work?"

   20. BSBrendan Schaub45:45

       Yep.

   21. JRJoe Rogan45:46

       And other guys just said, "Hey, we have these platforms. We have YouTube, we have Instagram, we have Twitter, we have all these different platforms. You could just put up videos."

   22. BSBrendan Schaub45:53

       Power through it.

   23. JRJoe Rogan45:53

       Yeah.

   24. BSBrendan Schaub45:54

       Yep.

   25. JRJoe Rogan45:54

       Just, just do it and just gather up a big following.

   26. BSBrendan Schaub45:57

       (inhales) Again, it goes back to, you know, in major sports with the UFC. When everyone was scared and shut down, they went, "Nah, we're gonna do it in this island in fucking Abu Dhabi."

   27. JRJoe Rogan46:06

       I know, isn't that crazy?

   28. BSBrendan Schaub46:06

       Everyone gave them so much shit, but they did it and nobody got hurt. I mean, some fighters got punched in the face, but I'm saying no one got hurt from COVID.

   29. JRJoe Rogan46:13

       (laughs) Yeah.

   30. BSBrendan Schaub46:13

       Everything's all good.
5. 1:00:00 – 1:04:56

   But to Fedor's defense-…

   1. JRJoe Rogan1:00:00

   2. BSBrendan Schaub1:00:00

      But to Fedor's defense-

   3. JRJoe Rogan1:00:02

      They were the only people.

   4. BSBrendan Schaub1:00:02

      ... the guys he was fighting were all on the same shit too.

   5. JRJoe Rogan1:00:04

      Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Everybody was on this shit.

   6. BSBrendan Schaub1:00:04

      So that's, that's a time period, man.

   7. JRJoe Rogan1:00:06

      It's like when Lance Armstrong was competing in Tour de France.

   8. BSBrendan Schaub1:00:08

      They were all doing it.

   9. JRJoe Rogan1:00:09

      Everybody was doing it.

   10. BSBrendan Schaub1:00:10

       And also on bikes, they shut the fuck up.

   11. JRJoe Rogan1:00:11

       Bill Burr has a fantastic bit about him. Um-

   12. BSBrendan Schaub1:00:14

       So does, so does Tony.

   13. JRJoe Rogan1:00:15

       Does Tony-

   14. BSBrendan Schaub1:00:16

       Hinchcliffe, yeah.

   15. JRJoe Rogan1:00:16

       ... about Lance Armstrong?

   16. BSBrendan Schaub1:00:18

       Uh, bike, yeah, bike riding.

   17. JRJoe Rogan1:00:19

       No, about transgender.

   18. BSBrendan Schaub1:00:20

       Oh, that's right.

   19. JRJoe Rogan1:00:21

       Did it-

   20. BSBrendan Schaub1:00:21

       Yeah, but it's in cycling.

   21. JRJoe Rogan1:00:22

       Yes.

   22. BSBrendan Schaub1:00:22

       Yeah, that's right.

   23. JRJoe Rogan1:00:23

       Yes, yes. That, that's that Rachel MacKinnon-

   24. BSBrendan Schaub1:00:25

       I love it.

   25. JRJoe Rogan1:00:25

       Yeah, it's a great bit.

   26. BSBrendan Schaub1:00:26

       Yeah.

   27. JRJoe Rogan1:00:26

       And it, and it's also true. Like, what are we doing with our life?

   28. BSBrendan Schaub1:00:29

       Oh, I know.

   29. JRJoe Rogan1:00:29

       Yeah, there's, there's a, a thing about these sports where everybody knows they're dirty. Like, that's like if... Let's say, like, you, you, you wanna talk about, like, greatest bodybuilders of all time. You got your Ronnie Colemans, your Lee Haney's. You know, you got your-

   30. BSBrendan Schaub1:00:43

       Arnold.
