      (drumming) Joe Rogan podcast, check it out.

    2. NA

      The Joe Rogan Experience.

    3. JR

      Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day. (rock music plays) And hello, Ali.

    4. AM

      Hi, Joe.

    5. JR

      What's going on, kid? How you living?

    6. AM

      Not much. I'm still-

    7. JR

      I can call you kid for five more years.

    8. AM

      Do I really get it that long?

    9. JR

      Yeah, you get it to 30, 'cause I'm 53. I'm an old man.

    10. AM

      I think-

    11. JR

      I can call you kid, I can call you kid into your late, late 30s.

    12. AM

      Yeah, 'cause you'll always be older than me.

    13. JR

      Yes, always. You'll always be a kid.

    14. AM

      I think kid should stop when I'm off my parent insurance in September.

    15. JR

      (laughs)

    16. AM

      And then you'll call me an adult and I'll break my arm, and I'll be like, "Joe, can you help?"

    17. JR

      (laughs) I remember, um, when I was a kid I would hear... when I was a kid, when I was in my 20s I would hear men that were in their late 30s and 40s calling their significant other, their girlfriend. And I was like, "That's a 39-year-old woman. That's not a girl." What the fuck?

    18. AM

      Well, now everyone's doing the partner thing.

    19. JR

      Oh, that's-

    20. AM

      I used to talk shit about it, 'cause I, I would have like straight friends who were like, "This is my partner." And I'm like, "It's your boyfriend."

    21. JR

      Yeah.

    22. AM

      But now I kind of like it because girlfriend/boyfriend, it sounds so corny. I actually got booed up, Joe.

    23. JR

      You got booed up?

    24. AM

      Yeah, I'm booed up.

    25. JR

      What does that mean?

    26. AM

      I got a boyfriend.

    27. JR

      Oh, you got a boyfriend.

    28. AM

      I have a boyfriend.

    29. JR

      That's what booed up means?

    30. AM

      Yeah, you're booed up.

  2. 15:0030:00

    Yeah. …

    1. JR

      the true meritocracies. Because if, if you don't do well, if the people don't laugh, it stops. There's a few people that are exceptions to that rule, that have figured out a way to carve their way deep into the pores like some sort of a strange parasite.

    2. AM

      Yeah.

    3. JR

      But for the most part, for the most part.

    4. AM

      Yeah. Everyone's coming out here.

    5. JR

      Hmm, not everyone.

    6. AM

      Some people.

    7. JR

      Some people went to Nashville.

    8. AM

      Yeah? That's a ni-

    9. JR

      You know, Theo-

    10. AM

      I've never been.

    11. JR

      ... C Byrne, they went to Nashville. Nashville's great. And, you know, they got that Zanies club, which is one of the best clubs in the country. It's a great place to work out of.

    12. AM

      Yeah, there's so many places I haven't been.

    13. JR

      You've never been to Nashville?

    14. AM

      Never been to Nashville.

    15. JR

      Bitch, I gotta take you to Nashville.

    16. AM

      Take me to Nashville. When are you doing a show out there?

    17. JR

      Um, well, I had a show booked with Chappelle.

    18. AM

      Oh, how have those been?

    19. JR

      Fun. Real fun.

    20. AM

      I have so much FOMO.

    21. JR

      Yeah, sorry about that.

    22. AM

      Watching everyone's Stories out here-

    23. JR

      (laughs)

    24. AM

      ... I'm just in bed eating Hot Cheetos.

    25. JR

      Hot Cheetos are fucking surprisingly good.

    26. AM

      Oh, have you tried Takis?

    27. JR

      No.

    28. AM

      Oh, it's like... I was, like, a loyal Hot Cheetos gal. Hot Cheetos were the best, and then I tried Takis, and I was like-

    29. JR

      What is a Taki? How do you spell it?

    30. AM

      T-A-K-I-apostrophe-S.

  3. 30:0045:00

    They want your bush…

    1. AM

      you know? And, like-

    2. JR

      They want your bush trimmed.

    3. AM

      Yeah. They want it... They want it bald.

    4. JR

      That's how-

    5. AM

      They want a bald eagle.

    6. JR

      Okay.

    7. AM

      But then they have the nastiest balls, and girls are like-

    8. JR

      (laughs)

    9. AM

      ... "Oh, it'd be an honor to give you a blowjob." That shit's disgusting. It's different hair than your regular hair. It's thick. Your... I didn't even know that balls changed texture in different weather. It's-

    10. JR

      What?

    11. AM

      Yeah, like... Like the-

    12. JR

      What?

    13. AM

      Like the skin.

    14. JR

      Changes texture?

    15. AM

      Kind of. It's like... It just like... It- it looks like an alien. It's so... Jamie knows what I'm talking about. Jamie's giving me a little-

    16. JR

      Jamie, do your balls change texture in different weather?

    17. GU

      Nah, not really. I don't think so.

    18. JR

      I don't see how.

    19. AM

      Jamie. Jamie, stay on my side.

    20. GU

      You ever did that guy we saw with Tom Segura's had a little different texture, but-

    21. JR

      Oh, yeah. That was rough.

    22. GU

      ... it's a unique situation.

    23. JR

      The guy with the giant balls? Yeah.

    24. AM

      I haven't seen this.

    25. JR

      Just some sad thing, but the guys have... Some guy had-

    26. AM

      Like elephantitis?

    27. JR

      Yeah. He had... It's a... It's p- not common, but common enough where there's multiple examples of it, where guys have enormous, like-... beach ball-sized testicles, and they can barely get around.

    28. AM

      Ugh.

    29. JR

      Yeah.

    30. AM

      It's a shame that there's no, you know, like, um, like when girls have giant tits, it's like, "Hell yes." There needs to be, like, a movement for men-

  4. 45:001:00:00

    35. …

    1. JR

      Marine and a soldier and who had, you know, d- been to war and had realized later in his life that he had risked his life for bankers and to make industry available in certain countries and that he had been lied to. And then he wrote a book called War Is Just a Racket, and it's an amazing book because if you look at what he wrote in 19 ... I wanna say it's '37. When, when did that come out?

    2. GU

      35.

    3. JR

      35. If you look at what he wrote in 1935, it's applicable today all around the world, like, what this guy was trying to expose about the real motivations, why politicians lead s- soldiers into war. Very little of it is about your safety and your health. I mean, occasionally it is.

    4. AM

      Yeah.

    5. JR

      Like World War II, which is kind of ironic 'cause World War II is right after he wrote this where it was a war, well, we actually really did need to stop Hitler. But this, this guy wrote this book and it just shows how many military actions are n- not just unnecessary, but deceptive.

    6. AM

      Yeah.

    7. JR

      And this guy realized it, like, later in his life. He's a fucking ... Wasn't he a three-star general or something like that?

    8. GU

      Mm, retired Marine, two-time Medal of Honor recipient.

    9. JR

      Yeah. H- so he was a decorated soldier. And as he was an old man, he was like, "Jesus Christ, what have I done?"

    10. AM

      That's crazy-

    11. JR

      Yeah.

    12. AM

      ... to do something thinking that ...

    13. JR

      What was really crazy is that no one else did it, and that he was really, like, the first person to publish something that became, you know, a, a popular piece of work where the, the average person like myself or you who doesn't really know that much about war-

    14. AM

      Mm-hmm.

    15. JR

      ... can read about it and go, "Holy shit. Like, this is what was really going on, that they were just making things safe for bankers, or they're clearing, you know, a way to get to national, natural resources."

    16. AM

      I think that's why there's so much, like, distrust in government and stuff now, because there's so many things that we realize later on, like, "Why was that so necessary?"

    17. JR

      Oh, for sure. Well, not only that. (sighs) I mean, you're seeing it with this administration where they're, they're doing the same things that Trump was doing. They're just pretending they're not. Like-

    18. AM

      They're just wearing cute jackets.

    19. JR

      Well, it's just the same fucking thing. Like, what they're doing ... Like, they're all ... The whole thing was like, the kids at the border. We gotta stop the, you know, these families at the border. These detentions at the border, putting people in cages. They're doing the same fucking thing. And then Ted Cruz went down to j- there to try to film it and they were asking him to stop filming, like, this Biden employee's like, "Stop filming. Stop filming, sir. Please sh- have some respect." He's like, this is ... Like, you can't just make rules like, that we can't film now-

    20. AM

      Yeah.

    21. JR

      ... and that's how you're gonna stop people from talking about this. That nothing's changed. 'Cause they were pretending that Trump was doing this and that it was all Trump's fault. Well, no, it's ... The border is crazy and porous, and now that Trump's not in office, they think it's more friendly 'cause Biden's there, so more people are coming through. And they have ... A lot of them have Biden T-shirts on. Have you seen that?

    22. AM

      No. (laughs)

    23. JR

      Where they get detained? Yeah. Like, dozens and dozens-

    24. AM

      Like they're going to a Biden concert?

    25. JR

      ... of 'em. Like, they're going to a Biden rally.

    26. AM

      Like, "We bought the merch."

    27. JR

      Yeah.

    28. AM

      "We love you."

    29. JR

      Yes, exactly.

    30. AM

      "Help us."

  5. 1:00:001:08:30

    Yeah, but I feel…

    1. JR

      a, a young sort of like a Dragnet style heartthrob.

    2. AM

      Yeah, but I feel like-

    3. JR

      Back in the day.

    4. AM

      I feel like nowadays people would vote for Bonzo to be president, you know?

    5. JR

      Probably for fun.

    6. AM

      100%.

    7. JR

      Just let's see. Let's see how the chimp does.

    8. AM

      I think after that harambe ... Didn't people vote him for harambe the year that there was that-

    9. JR

      See how little that chimp is?

    10. GU

      Mm-hmm.

    11. AM

      ... incident?

    12. JR

      That's 'cause it's a baby.

    13. AM

      Chimps are so cute. Have you ever held one?

    14. JR

      Yeah.

    15. AM

      (gasps)

    16. JR

      But you have to ... The, the only way they'll work with someone like that, they have to be babies. You can't have a grown chimp. The grown chimps will just beat the shit out of you. We were on the set of News Radio and, uh, they had a baby chimp like that and it was a baby. It was like it had a diaper on and everything and the b- ... It, it climbed on me, like I was holding it and it climbed on my back and went ... Just beat me in the back and I was like, "Holy shit." Like a tiny little thing. You know, like probably 30, 40 pounds. I couldn't believe how hard it was hitting me. I was like, "Fuck."

    17. AM

      That's crazy.

    18. JR

      And they feel different. They feel like they're made out of this table. Like their muscles-

    19. AM

      Mm-hmm.

    20. JR

      Like if ... It's like you, you ... When you touch them, you go like, "Oh. I'm like a fucking water balloon compared to that." Like your body is so mushy and soft compared to a chimp.

    21. AM

      Yeah.

    22. JR

      It's a real weird feeling.

    23. AM

      I like, I like chimps and stuff.

    24. GU

      There's this viral video of a chimp-

    25. JR

      Oh, it's cute.

    26. GU

      ... helping this guy up on a rope but-

    27. JR

      Yeah, it's adorable.

    28. AM

      Oh.

    29. JR

      Look at this.

    30. AM

      Look at its eyes.
