   3. JRJoe Rogan0:06

      Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night. All day. (energetic music)

   4. ASAndrew Santino0:14

      Big boss, huh?

   5. JRJoe Rogan0:15

      Got one in the other room.

   6. ASAndrew Santino0:16

      You like his man bun?

   7. JRJoe Rogan0:18

      No. I've been trying to shave his head for-

   8. ASAndrew Santino0:20

      (laughs) It's-

   9. JRJoe Rogan0:20

      ... six months.

   10. NANarrator0:20

       I don't like it either.

   11. JRJoe Rogan0:22

       (laughs) Why don't you get a pair of trimmers?

   12. ASAndrew Santino0:24

       You look like one of the guys from Mortal Kombat, that movie I just fucking watched. You look like one of those, uh-

   13. JRJoe Rogan0:28

       Just buzz that motherfucker and wear cool hats. (laughs)

   14. ASAndrew Santino0:31

       What's the deal? Why are you growing it out so much?

   15. JRJoe Rogan0:33

       (laughs) Roll the- roll the film on this.

   16. NANarrator0:35

       Yeah, we're going.

   17. JRJoe Rogan0:35

       Roll it. Are we rolling?

   18. ASAndrew Santino0:36

       Why? Why?

   19. NANarrator0:36

       Yeah. Yeah.

   20. JRJoe Rogan0:37

       Yeah.

   21. ASAndrew Santino0:37

       When I walked in and I- I didn't even recognize him. I was like-

   22. NANarrator0:39

       Well-

   23. ASAndrew Santino0:40

       ... "Who's the- who's that cutie? Who's that cute girl over there?"

   24. NANarrator0:41

       That's how I actually started working for Joe. I had hair this long. It was actually longer when I started working for him.

   25. JRJoe Rogan0:45

       There's something about when it gets all gray, though, that you're supposed to cut it real short. You can't have gray long hair. Then you're, you know, you're either a drug dealer or you're running a cult.

   26. ASAndrew Santino0:53

       You do look like you sell coke. Is there not a moment-

   27. NANarrator0:55

       Well, like Pat Riley, though.

   28. ASAndrew Santino0:55

       Is there not a moment in the morning where you're embarrassed that you have to put a little, like, tie up?

   29. JRJoe Rogan0:59

       You do. (laughs)

   30. NANarrator0:59

       Every time, every time.
2. 15:00 – 30:00

   Exactly. …

   1. ASAndrew Santino15:00

      so they're like-

   2. JRJoe Rogan15:00

      Exactly.

   3. ASAndrew Santino15:00

      But the TikTok that we use, their servers are all U- US servers. That's why that was gone away. I'm almost positive that's what I heard was-

   4. JRJoe Rogan15:08

      Mm-hmm.

   5. ASAndrew Santino15:08

      Our TikTok that we use here from our-

   6. JRJoe Rogan15:11

      So it's our government spying on us.

   7. ASAndrew Santino15:13

      Correct.

   8. JRJoe Rogan15:13

      So it's not the Chinese government.

   9. ASAndrew Santino15:14

      Correct.

   10. JRJoe Rogan15:15

       So we're okay.

   11. ASAndrew Santino15:15

       Yeah. They're okay. If-

   12. JRJoe Rogan15:16

       It's not communist.

   13. ASAndrew Santino15:17

       It's okay if it's us.

   14. JRJoe Rogan15:18

       (laughs)

   15. ASAndrew Santino15:18

       Yeah. You guys can't do it, but we're gonna do it.

   16. JRJoe Rogan15:20

       (laughs)

   17. ASAndrew Santino15:21

       (laughs)

   18. JRJoe Rogan15:21

       It's all so wacky.

   19. ASAndrew Santino15:22

       You know how people-

   20. JRJoe Rogan15:23

       S-

   21. ASAndrew Santino15:23

       ... cover up their cameras on their laptops? You know, do you do that up there on that laptop? Do you have like a-

   22. NANarrator15:27

       My phone?

   23. ASAndrew Santino15:27

       I-

   24. JRJoe Rogan15:27

       I do, but I open it up when I jerk off.

   25. ASAndrew Santino15:29

       Me too. I have to.

   26. JRJoe Rogan15:30

       Come watch.

   27. ASAndrew Santino15:30

       And I stare right into it.

   28. JRJoe Rogan15:31

       Come watch.

   29. ASAndrew Santino15:32

       And I go, "Joe."

   30. JRJoe Rogan15:33

       Whoa.
3. 30:00 – 45:00

   (laughs) …

   1. JRJoe Rogan30:00

      They're trying to get rid of the people that are fucking with them. This is what's happening in Portland. Someone's fuck... And so he's using the legal method now. Right now he's saying, "Well, we're just gonna, we're gonna get the police and we're gonna re-" You defunded the fucking police.

   2. ASAndrew Santino30:14

      (laughs)

   3. JRJoe Rogan30:14

      You defaced-... you demoralize them!

   4. ASAndrew Santino30:18

      (laughs) Yeah.

   5. JRJoe Rogan30:18

      And now you need them.

   6. ASAndrew Santino30:19

      Now you want 'em.

   7. JRJoe Rogan30:20

      And listen, man, every time there's a video of the cops being cunts and treating someone like shit, I'm furious.

   8. ASAndrew Santino30:26

      We all are.

   9. JRJoe Rogan30:26

      There's a video on D.L. Hughley's page today of some piece-of-shit cop talking to these really cool Black guys who are friendly with him and they, the, these, these guys shake their hand and he's like, "I don't know you. I've never seen you around." And the guy's being an asshole. He's like, he goes, uh, "This is my city." Like, he, the guy literally says this. So, he's just a cop who's just an asshole. You don't even wanna... You don't even need to see this, but go see it if you want to.

   10. ASAndrew Santino30:49

       Right.

   11. JRJoe Rogan30:49

       But it's just a guy who's a dick. And he's being a dick to some guys who were being pretty friendly with him.

   12. ASAndrew Santino30:54

       Right.

   13. JRJoe Rogan30:55

       Whereas another cop would be like, "What's up, gentlemen? How we doing today?"

   14. ASAndrew Santino30:58

       "What's going on?" Yeah.

   15. JRJoe Rogan30:59

       And everybody would be all right. You know what I mean? Like-

   16. ASAndrew Santino31:01

       The, the pro- the problem is there's, there's, this, there's... The problem that I have that I see all the time is, uh, there are these cops that have always existed, that will always exist, that, by the way, for people that don't believe in this kind of shit, that are like, "Ah, this is, ah, it's fine," they've been talking about this for years. I mean, Fuck The Police was a real anthem. They were s-

   17. JRJoe Rogan31:21

       Coming straight from the underground.

   18. ASAndrew Santino31:22

       They were saying it 'cause they meant it.

   19. JRJoe Rogan31:23

       Yes!

   20. ASAndrew Santino31:23

       Not 'cause it was fucking for, for selling records. They meant that shit.

   21. JRJoe Rogan31:27

       Yes!

   22. ASAndrew Santino31:27

       When they were saying, "These, these guys won't stop fucking with us," the reality is, there's assholes in everything, right? And the cops get empowered. So, a lot of guys that are assholes that are cops, which is not all cops, obviously, these guys, they, they're, they've been empowered for so long to treat people the way they've treated them, so they get more and more and more because that's okay.

   23. JRJoe Rogan31:47

       Yeah.

   24. ASAndrew Santino31:47

       For... That's okay for them. It's like, this is how they have to deal with people, so they find it to be okay. The problem is, I wish there was more videos of good-ass fucking g- good cops doing good shit-

   25. JRJoe Rogan31:58

       Yes.

   26. ASAndrew Santino31:59

       ... helping community.

   27. JRJoe Rogan31:59

       And there's a lot of them out there.

   28. ASAndrew Santino32:01

       Sure!

   29. JRJoe Rogan32:01

       You know, there's a great video from Flint last year during the George Floyd protests where this one cop says, "Hey, we're gonna walk with you guys."

   30. ASAndrew Santino32:09

       Yeah.
4. 45:00 – 1:00:00

   Yeah. …

   1. ASAndrew Santino45:00

      that I'm doing this too. It doesn't really ... They know it. They understand it, but even still, you know, it doesn't really register. Do you know what I mean?

   2. JRJoe Rogan45:07

      Yeah.

   3. ASAndrew Santino45:07

      Like, I, it doesn't, like ... They get it, but they're also like ... If someone comes up to me and they're like, "Santino, big fan," my dad's always like, "Well, fucking look at that shit." Like, he, he ... It's almost like he's like ... (laughs) He's like-

   4. JRJoe Rogan45:18

      (laughs) What are the odds?

   5. ASAndrew Santino45:19

      He goes, "How does that guy fucking ... How does that guy know you?" And I'm like, "Oh, he saw me on something." He goes, "Oh. Okay."

   6. JRJoe Rogan45:24

      It ... Like, crazy.

   7. ASAndrew Santino45:24

      It doesn't land yet, 'cause it doesn't really-

   8. JRJoe Rogan45:26

      Right.

   9. ASAndrew Santino45:26

      'Cause in my dad's mind, it's like, Clint Eastwood gets people to say hi to him.

   10. JRJoe Rogan45:29

       Yeah.

   11. ASAndrew Santino45:29

       Not you.

   12. JRJoe Rogan45:30

       Yeah.

   13. ASAndrew Santino45:31

       You're a clown goofball.

   14. JRJoe Rogan45:32

       Yeah.

   15. ASAndrew Santino45:32

       You're not a real, like, a star thing. I'm like, "No, but some people know who I am." You know what I mean?

   16. JRJoe Rogan45:37

       Yeah.

   17. ASAndrew Santino45:37

       Like, I, I think it's just cool to watch them see it sometimes, 'cause my, my, my dad is always like, "This guy fucking... He knows you. He's looking at... He knows you." And I'm like, "Yeah, no. I know, Dad. I know." (laughs)

   18. JRJoe Rogan45:47

       (laughs)

   19. ASAndrew Santino45:48

       He likes it. He, it ... He thinks it's really fucking f- it's cool, it's, it's f- cool to watch them watch it.

   20. JRJoe Rogan45:53

       Fame is like a wave. You know? You gotta learn-

   21. ASAndrew Santino45:55

       Yeah.

   22. JRJoe Rogan45:55

       ... how to ride it.

   23. ASAndrew Santino45:57

       Well, mine's, mine's more like a ripple, but it's fine. I'll take the ... I'll-

   24. JRJoe Rogan45:59

       But you know what I'm saying? Like-

   25. ASAndrew Santino46:00

       It's a little board.

   26. JRJoe Rogan46:01

       ... you learn how to ... If you just get on a surfboard-

   27. ASAndrew Santino46:04

       Yeah.

   28. JRJoe Rogan46:04

       ... you're not gonna learn how to ride that wave.

   29. ASAndrew Santino46:06

       Nah.

   30. JRJoe Rogan46:06

       You gotta relax and sort of let it happen, and know what it is.
5. 1:00:00 – 1:01:01

   You know what I…

   1. ASAndrew Santino1:00:00

      Sammy. Yes it has.

   2. JRJoe Rogan1:00:00

      You know what I mean? It's like, uh, comedy's been so good to me. It's like I feel like, uh, what I wanna do out here is... I wanna just do something where it just supports comedy. And, uh, I wanna make it a safe place for wild people, where you could just get wild, you could just have some fun.

   3. ASAndrew Santino1:00:17

      Yeah.

   4. JRJoe Rogan1:00:17

      And I want, I want you to figure it out. I want you to figure out this weird puzzle that is your own personality dynamics and your past and your life and your n- your neediness and your weirdness and your need to be accepted, and you need to be a part of a community. And then just build this community that fully embraces everybody that tries to do that. Fully embraces everybody who... Like, here's our thing, our thing is comedy.... and, and if you're really committed to that thing, we're committed to you.

   5. ASAndrew Santino1:00:43

      Yeah.

   6. JRJoe Rogan1:00:44

      We're committed to you. We're committed to each other, we're committed to community. I wanna, I wanna have great food for people that work there. I want, I want everybody to eat free. I want you to be able to come whenever you want. I wanna pay people well. My goal, financially, is to break even. That's my whole goal.
