   4. TDTim Dillon0:14

      Wouldn't it be cool to have like, uh, Aerosmith right now?

   5. JRJoe Rogan0:16

      I'm back.

   6. TDTim Dillon0:17

      Yeah. Great.

   7. JRJoe Rogan0:18

      (sings) I'm back in the saddle again.

   8. TDTim Dillon0:23

      Great. The Snowpocalypse, Tim Dillon.

   9. JRJoe Rogan0:26

      (sniffs)

   10. TDTim Dillon0:26

       Hey, holding up? Did I move you out here at a bad time, do you think?

   11. JRJoe Rogan0:29

       I mean, uh, we considered suing you.

   12. TDTim Dillon0:33

       (laughs)

   13. NANarrator0:33

       (laughs)

   14. JRJoe Rogan0:33

       I was sitting there going, "Can I take legal action against him?" Like, I called a lawyer and apparently I cannot.

   15. TDTim Dillon0:38

       Listen, I, I'll give you free meals-

   16. JRJoe Rogan0:41

       Yeah.

   17. TDTim Dillon0:41

       ... every time we go out, forever.

   18. JRJoe Rogan0:42

       We were-

   19. TDTim Dillon0:43

       How about that?

   20. JRJoe Rogan0:43

       I mean, I was on a bread line two days ago.

   21. TDTim Dillon0:46

       (laughs)

   22. JRJoe Rogan0:46

       My opener flies into town, we're gonna fly out for shows, all the flights grounded, we can't go anywhere. I mean, we're waiting outside of a supermarket for an hour, and then we're eating fish sticks in the dark of my house with no power. And I'm like, "You know, Joe fucking Rogan, man, uh, this was a real fucking leap of faith." But it's looking better today.

   23. TDTim Dillon1:06

       It'll be fine.

   24. JRJoe Rogan1:07

       It'll be fine.

   25. TDTim Dillon1:07

       Listen, it was a once in... They're calling it a once in a 120-year storm, but I think what that means is like, ever recorded. Like, you go back to 1800 is what we're talking about.

   26. JRJoe Rogan1:19

       Right.

   27. TDTim Dillon1:19

       Or 1900, rather.

   28. JRJoe Rogan1:21

       Yeah.

   29. TDTim Dillon1:21

       Like when... What was the... What kind of fucking instruments did they... were they using?

   30. JRJoe Rogan1:24

       Yeah, what were they, what were they jotting down?
2. 15:00 – 30:00

   (laughs) …

   1. JRJoe Rogan15:00

      go, "But you get like 208,000 views on YouTube." I go, "You don't understand the me-... So it's..." (laughs)

   2. TDTim Dillon15:06

      (laughs)

   3. JRJoe Rogan15:06

      "You don't understand, there's other things at play." Um, but I do shit like that all the time, and it's like, sometimes people get angry, but you have to-

   4. TDTim Dillon15:14

      Well, they have to understand fun and they have to understand comedy. Right?

   5. JRJoe Rogan15:17

      Yeah.

   6. TDTim Dillon15:18

      'Cause comedy, like a big part of what you and I both do-

   7. JRJoe Rogan15:20

      Yeah.

   8. TDTim Dillon15:20

      ... like we, we, we have points, you know, like you're serious sometimes.

   9. JRJoe Rogan15:23

      Sometimes, yeah.

   10. TDTim Dillon15:24

       I'm serious sometimes too.

   11. JRJoe Rogan15:25

       Yeah.

   12. TDTim Dillon15:25

       But we talk shit.

   13. JRJoe Rogan15:27

       Yeah.

   14. TDTim Dillon15:27

       I mean, that's really what it is, it's talking shit.

   15. JRJoe Rogan15:28

       He said to me, he goes, "Have you read my Unified Theory of Everything?" I'm like, "No," and I gotta be honest, not gonna. Not gonna do it.

   16. TDTim Dillon15:34

       Why would you do that?

   17. JRJoe Rogan15:35

       I just don't-

   18. TDTim Dillon15:36

       Have you read, any time someone says that to you-

   19. JRJoe Rogan15:37

       I haven't done it.

   20. TDTim Dillon15:38

       ... that's an issue.

   21. JRJoe Rogan15:39

       Yeah.

   22. TDTim Dillon15:39

       If someone said, if, if, as a like a put you in your place, "Have you read my Unified Theory of Everything?"

   23. JRJoe Rogan15:45

       Right. Yeah.

   24. TDTim Dillon15:45

       'Cause if I did, I would talk to you about it.

   25. JRJoe Rogan15:46

       Yeah, I'm like, "I don't have any... I don't care." I mean, I'm just-

   26. TDTim Dillon15:49

       But I bet it's really interesting.

   27. JRJoe Rogan15:49

       I'm glad that you-

   28. TDTim Dillon15:50

       I do care.

   29. JRJoe Rogan15:51

       I'm glad that it's... you've unified everything. Good, good.

   30. TDTim Dillon15:56

       Well, he's a fucking brilliant guy.
3. 30:00 – 45:00

   Yeah, it was rough.…

   1. TDTim Dillon30:00

      staying there last time.

   2. JRJoe Rogan30:00

      Yeah, it was rough.

   3. TDTim Dillon30:01

      What was it like?

   4. JRJoe Rogan30:02

      Me and my opener were walking back from a... First of all-

   5. TDTim Dillon30:05

      He's, he's got a name. He's a good guy. Jesus Christ.

   6. JRJoe Rogan30:06

      Yeah, Dan Carney, my opener. He's a good guy. He's, he's a good guy.

   7. TDTim Dillon30:09

      Me and my slave.

   8. JRJoe Rogan30:10

      My slave. (laughs)

   9. TDTim Dillon30:11

      (laughs)

   10. JRJoe Rogan30:11

       He was walking, we were walk- I make him carry all the camera equipment and everything.

   11. TDTim Dillon30:15

       (laughs) Does he wear a mask?

   12. JRJoe Rogan30:16

       And I, and I, he, he, no, he just car- carries all the camera equipment. And then I walk, you know, five feet ahead of him like a cartoon king down the street, just observing. And, uh, I said to him, "I think we're gonna get killed." I turned around and looked at him, I said, "We might get killed," because people on the street were looking at us like lunch. We were in Times Square, it was like, you know, maybe 11:30, 12:00 at night, and people were looking at us. Like people were sitting in Times Square like, "Who are you motherfuckers?" Like, you know what I mean? And-

   13. TDTim Dillon30:40

       That's why you need Texas gun laws in New York City.

   14. JRJoe Rogan30:44

       Yeah. Well, and, and it was, it was terrifying. So, um, and, and people, you know, are, are... You're, you're just looking around now and you have a weird feeling that I've never felt in New York as an adult. I felt it when I was a kid in the '90s. I would be like, "Oh yeah, it's a little sketchy." But as an adult, it was like the first time I felt like shit could go down and it wouldn't be good. And now you see all these videos of people being hit with bats or, you know, it's rough. So I mean, I just think that it has a, it has a, a y-... You know, when Giuliani was elected there, there was something that happened right before it. And this was a, a thing that everyone knows about. A Rockette, w- uh, a Rockette was killed in Central Park. There was a knife in her back. And it was all over the cover of the papers and people said, and this was the early '90s, and there was about 28, 29 hundred homicides every year in New York City, which is almost like eight a day. It got so bad that that th- image of the Rockette with the knife in her back in Central Park, people started to go, "We need a new direction." They elected Giuliani, who's since disgraced himself and become a goon. I, I wa-

   15. TDTim Dillon31:43

       But don't you think that he just got old and his brain broke?

   16. JRJoe Rogan31:46

       Yes, I think he should've gotten out of public life. But he did, you know, become a goon. But they cleaned that city up. It was really, it wasn't that livable for many, many people. It became a lot more livable and a lot safer, uh, after Giuliani got in there and that's a fact.

   17. TDTim Dillon32:03

       It's a fact.

   18. JRJoe Rogan32:03

       And people that wanna, people might not like that, but that's a fact.

   19. TDTim Dillon32:06

       That's-

   20. JRJoe Rogan32:07

       That's numbers and data.

   21. TDTim Dillon32:08

       ... one thing that happened. The other thing that happened was Times Square became a mall.

   22. JRJoe Rogan32:11

       Times Square became a mall. A lot of that started to happen under Giuliani and then it, it crystallized after 9/11.

   23. TDTim Dillon32:18

       We need a balance.

   24. JRJoe Rogan32:19

       We do need a balance.

   25. TDTim Dillon32:20

       Like you gotta have a little grit, but you want it to be safe.

   26. JRJoe Rogan32:23

       No, you need, you need, you need a little balance. You want it to be a cool place and, and gr- you don't need like, uh, you know, every Broadway show, a de- a fucking Disney movie.

   27. TDTim Dillon32:32

       Right.

   28. JRJoe Rogan32:32

       You don't need that. You don't need, you know, Cobra Kai the musical or whatever hell is coming after this pandemic's over.

   29. TDTim Dillon32:39

       But imagine being de Blasio-

   30. JRJoe Rogan32:41

       Yeah.
4. 45:00 – 1:00:00

   I think Biden and…

   1. TDTim Dillon45:00

   2. JRJoe Rogan45:00

      I think Biden and Kamala, I think they're very boring. I think no one's gonna care. I think the far right and the far left, they just... They both lost, right? Like the people that are hardcore Trump people lost. The people who are hardcore on the far left don't like Biden. I just don't think that everyone's gonna live in this 24-hour political world forever. I-

   3. TDTim Dillon45:17

      It's exhausting.

   4. JRJoe Rogan45:18

      I think it's over. I think it's o-... I think p- comedy is going to go back to being goofy and silly and people that made livings strictly talking about Trump or strictly talking about politics are gonna have a tough time of it. I think p-... You know, after the Iraq war, that's when like that alternative comedy scene started where people, like, started walking around with like top hats and ca-... It's like, because after the Iraq war and the- and the mortgage crisis, nobody wanted to hear about anything serious. So I think i- i- if we put a few months, uh, go a few months down the road, no one's gonna hear- wanna hear about COVID or Donald Trump. I think people are just ready for the next thing. So I'm hoping that this all kind of becomes more boring and silly and goofy and fun and more human.

   5. TDTim Dillon45:59

      Well, I hope people come to their senses and realize that we have more in common than we have, uh, in difference.

   6. JRJoe Rogan46:04

      Right.

   7. TDTim Dillon46:04

      And that's- that's the reality of being a person. Like, uh, my neighbor is a- a- a crazy Biden supporter. Super nice person. Like, uh-

   8. JRJoe Rogan46:12

      Right.

   9. TDTim Dillon46:12

      ... I- I- I like them.

   10. JRJoe Rogan46:14

       Right.

   11. TDTim Dillon46:14

       You know, and I- I- I- I don't think that there's a- a- a r-... If you look at what people want, what do they want? In terms of- in- in times of crisis, like, it was a- a- a- agreed it was a fairly short-lived crisis in Austin. Today's 40 something degrees.

   12. JRJoe Rogan46:30

       Right.

   13. TDTim Dillon46:30

       And the roads are clear and you can drive around and most people's water's coming back on, most people have power. There's... But in times of crisis, you- you realize that what is important, what's really impo-... And this is dark, right? Staying alive.

   14. JRJoe Rogan46:45

       That's it.

   15. TDTim Dillon46:45

       Feeding your family-

   16. JRJoe Rogan46:46

       Right.

   17. TDTim Dillon46:46

       ... and taking care of your loved ones.

   18. JRJoe Rogan46:48

       Yes.

   19. TDTim Dillon46:48

       Check, "Hey, do you guys need food? We have food."

   20. JRJoe Rogan46:50

       Yeah.

   21. TDTim Dillon46:50

       "Do you guys need wood? We have wood." Wh- "You have a fireplace?"

   22. JRJoe Rogan46:52

       And I would- I would add to that your social media brand.

   23. TDTim Dillon46:56

       (laughs)

   24. JRJoe Rogan46:56

       You have to always safeguard that as well.

   25. TDTim Dillon47:00

       I'm so glad you got me out of there.

   26. JRJoe Rogan47:01

       I was reported-

   27. TDTim Dillon47:03

       I was on a serious road.

   28. JRJoe Rogan47:03

       I was reported for cutting line at a Whataburger. I've lived here for a week.

   29. TDTim Dillon47:08

       Well, that's- that's a criminal offense.

   30. JRJoe Rogan47:09

       Here's the reality.
5. 1:00:00 – 1:02:04

   My lawyer was like,…

   1. TDTim Dillon1:00:00

   2. JRJoe Rogan1:00:00

      My lawyer was like, "Just leave it alone."

   3. TDTim Dillon1:00:02

      (claps)

   4. JRJoe Rogan1:00:02

      He goes, "I don't know what you're doing." I'm like, "I'm in a, a high octane war with a few desert lesbian-

   5. TDTim Dillon1:00:07

      (laughs)

   6. JRJoe Rogan1:00:07

      ... a few desert, there's two desert dykes that are gunning for me and I'm gonna fucking keep, I'm gonna ride this-"

   7. TDTim Dillon1:00:12

      (laughs)

   8. JRJoe Rogan1:00:12

      "... till the wheels go off." And my lawyer's like, "Hey man, what are you doing?"

   9. TDTim Dillon1:00:16

      (laughs)

   10. JRJoe Rogan1:00:17

       So, yeah.

   11. TDTim Dillon1:00:17

       What am I doing? I'm boosting up my fucking podcast, stupid.

   12. JRJoe Rogan1:00:20

       Yeah, I, I, I'm, I'm trying to fight the good fight.

   13. TDTim Dillon1:00:22

       How do you think I get paid? That's what you should tell him.

   14. JRJoe Rogan1:00:24

       Yeah.

   15. TDTim Dillon1:00:24

       How do you think I get paid?

   16. JRJoe Rogan1:00:24

       It's a good point.

   17. TDTim Dillon1:00:25

       No.

   18. JRJoe Rogan1:00:26

       So, and I didn't involve Alex Jones. Could have. Chose not to.

   19. TDTim Dillon1:00:28

       Don't do that.

   20. JRJoe Rogan1:00:29

       I'm kidding.

   21. TDTim Dillon1:00:30

       That's nuclear.

   22. JRJoe Rogan1:00:30

       I'm joking.

   23. TDTim Dillon1:00:30

       That's the nuclear option.

   24. JRJoe Rogan1:00:31

       That's the nuclear option.

   25. TDTim Dillon1:00:32

       Yeah, don't, don't.

   26. JRJoe Rogan1:00:33

       Yeah.

   27. TDTim Dillon1:00:33

       Because he'll find some reason why it's connected to-

   28. JRJoe Rogan1:00:35

       He'll say the Airbnb didn't exist.

   29. TDTim Dillon1:00:36

       Yeah.

   30. JRJoe Rogan1:00:36

       But we'll figure... (laughs)
