    (drumbeats) Joe Rogan podcast,…

    1. JR

      (drumbeats) 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) Up and at 'em. Hello, Joe list.

    4. JL

      Is this it?

    5. JR

      This is it.

    6. JL

      (laughs)

    7. JR

      This is it. So what happened? You got, you got accosted last night?

    8. JL

      Oh, we're in it. This is just going.

    9. JR

      Yeah.

    10. JL

      Yeah. So, um, good to be here. Thanks for having me. (laughs)

    11. JR

      Good to have ya. Good to have ya.

    12. JL

      Yeah. So, we're here at-

    13. JR

      Do you need booze?

    14. JL

      No, I don't drink, but I appreciate the offer.

    15. JR

      Do you want heroin?

    16. JL

      Heroin would go good, yeah. I'm still doing heroin.

    17. JR

      That's always like the hackiest joke. "I don't drink, but I wanna buy heroin."

    18. JL

      (laughs)

    19. JR

      It's like you always go like, if someone says they don't drink, you go with something way more preposterous than drinking, like, "Oh, I'm sober."

    20. JL

      Right. The other one is, uh, "Ah, quitter."

    21. JR

      Crack.

    22. JL

      (laughs) Well, if people say quitter, that's like a big one to do.

    23. JR

      Right. Yeah, it's a big one.

    24. JL

      But, um, but no, I appreciate the offer though. I mean, this cigar I might enjoy.

    25. JR

      You want a cigar?

    26. JL

      Sure, maybe.

    27. JR

      I got cigars. Yeah.

    28. JL

      I'm on an empty stomach, so it might make me more jittery than I already am.

    29. JR

      Well, give it a little, few minutes-

    30. JL

      I'm a big cunt.

  2. 15:0030:00

    I think the key…

    1. NA

      had up.

    2. JR

      I think the key would be if you had small legs, right? Like if you were a guy who's into rings, if you're doing the rings, well actually you gotta land on those legs. All right. What am I talking about?

    3. NA

      If you want no weight, I think is the right... You would be light, as light as possible.

    4. JR

      Right. But you have to have muscle-

    5. NA

      Yeah.

    6. JR

      ... so you can't be too light.

    7. NA

      I mean, his arms are huge.

    8. JL

      But there's gotta be... Like you ever see those like Cirque du Soleil guys? They do that shit-

    9. JR

      Oh my God.

    10. JL

      ... where they like hold out from here. They're like horizontal acro- like just holding with their arms like this. It doesn't even make sense.

    11. JR

      If you ever want to feel like a bitch, go watch Cirque du Soleil. Those guys have preposterous strength.

    12. JL

      Yeah, it doesn't make any sense.

    13. JR

      Holding someone with one arm above your head, perfectly balanced.

    14. JL

      Yeah. No, it's goofy.

    15. JR

      Yeah.

    16. JL

      But not all that entertaining to me-

    17. JR

      (laughs) You don't like it?

    18. JL

      ... I have to say. I mean, it's fine.

    19. JR

      Did you ever see Love, the Love one at uh, it's all Beatle songs at um, MGM? No. Uh, Mirage Theatre.

    20. JL

      No, I never saw it.

    21. JR

      It's amazing.

    22. JL

      Maybe I should go. I'm being an asshole, I've never actually seen it.

    23. JR

      It's easy to be an asshole, we're comics.

    24. JL

      That's a good point, but uh some of them-

    25. JR

      (laughs) Because you gotta be funny.

    26. JL

      Some of them hold, stand on their head too.

    27. JR

      Yeah.

    28. JL

      Like just their head, no arms, which is also insane.

    29. JR

      That's not good for you.

    30. JL

      No, I don't think-

  3. 30:0045:00

    You know what I…

    1. JL

      Uh, edgy means so many different things to different people, but it's really fucking funny.

    2. JR

      You know what I watched the other day? Superbad.

    3. JL

      Yeah, that's a good one.

    4. JR

      Holy shit. You could never make that movie today. (laughs)

    5. JL

      It's amazing how many things just a few years later.

    6. JR

      Yeah.

    7. JL

      I mean, the, the new Borat I thought was pretty funny.

    8. JR

      Oh, yeah. Yeah. That...... but that's a weird one, right? Like he figured out a loophole. You're kinda doing parody and you're doing this thing where you're freaking people out, like when she has her period at, at the dance off.

    9. JL

      Right.

    10. JR

      You know, like, there's, there's things that he could get away with in that. It's a beautiful genre in that regard, right? You, you could do stuff in a kinda parody movie that you can't do in a regular movie.

    11. JL

      Yes. But don't you find there's never been... Maybe I'm wrong. I, but, I feel like maybe I'm such a comedy cunt that I'm like... Don't you feel like there's not, never been a ton of great comedy films? I feel like there's, like, a few a decade.

    12. JR

      Um, it's hard to do a movie. Like I watched Step Brother... Step Brothers the other night, it's another movie you could never do today. It's... I think it's hard to do those. Like some people, just... Like Judd Apatow is really good at making those kind of movies, or was really good. I don't know if he's made one of those kind of movies in a while. But those like really ridiculous, over-the-top movies, but the language and the subject matter and it's like, the stuff that they talk about and say to each other, I just don't think you can do that today. Or if you did do that, you would face a, a tremendous amount of criticism. Even though most people agree. Like if you try to watch Step Brothers today, fucking rock solid funny movie, man. Really funny.

    13. JL

      Right.

    14. JR

      I was crying, like crying laughing.

    15. JL

      (laughs)

    16. JR

      There's some really funny moments in that movie where you're like, "I forgot how good this is." When he rubs his balls all over the dude's drum set.

    17. JL

      Right.

    18. JR

      Like there's so-

    19. JL

      (laughs)

    20. JR

      ... many of these moments where you're like, "This is so crazy."

    21. JL

      But it feels like now, people are getting more comedy from podcasts and standup than-

    22. JR

      Yeah.

    23. JL

      ... movies, because it's making... Like, I watched the Oscars and like they didn't even make a joke. There was like zero jokes.

    24. JR

      Mm-hmm.

    25. JL

      Because everybody's so afraid to be funny.

    26. JR

      Who hosted the Oscars this year?

    27. JL

      I think there was no host. It was just like a, "We just bring people up." I mean, they weren't even like attempting to do jokes. The only jokes were the voiceover lady that says like, "Stay tuned. Coming up, Brad Pitt."

    28. JR

      Yeah.

    29. JL

      "I swear to God, Brad Pitt's coming." That was like the only attempt at humor.

    30. JR

      Oh.

  4. 45:001:00:00

    That's what it says.…

    1. JR

      to put place to... put into place to eliminate the Osage people inheriting this wealth from oil profits on a one-by-one basis by any means possible. Officially, the court, the count of the murdered full-blood wealthy Osage reaches at least 20, but Grann suspects that hundreds more may have been killed because of their ties to oil." Wow. And this is the birth of the FBI, right? Is that-

    2. NA

      That's what it says.

    3. JR

      ... part of this, this whole fucking s- crazy story? Goddamn.

    4. JL

      Fun.

    5. JR

      Heavy.

    6. JL

      I assume Bill Hale will be-

    7. JR

      There he is.

    8. JL

      ... DiCaprio, maybe?

    9. JR

      "William 'King' Hale or Bill Hale was an American cattleman and convicted murderer. Hale was a prominent victor, uh, prominent figure on the Osage Indian Reservation in what was then the Indian Territory, where he built the noted Hale Ranch and made a fortune raising cattle." Ugh. Those are dark days, man. You-

    10. JL

      I'm e- I'm excited about the movie, though.

    11. JR

      Yeah.

    12. JL

      Those'll be bright days ahead. (laughs) Di, DiCaprio as Bill Hale.

    13. JR

      (laughs)

    14. JL

      I mean, that's exciting, right?

    15. JR

      Yeah.

    16. JL

      See, there it is.

    17. JR

      Martin Scorsese's a bad motherfucker.

    18. JL

      He's the best.

    19. JR

      Has he, has he made a bad movie? I didn't see The Irishman. Did you?

    20. JL

      I loved The Irishman. Yeah, I didn't, I wasn't thrilled about it at first, but I love it.

    21. JR

      Some people were weirded out by the special effects.

    22. JL

      Yeah, it didn't bother me at all. No, he's, like, the king. Um-

    23. JR

      Yeah.

    24. JL

      Boy, Scorsese's worst movie is a tough one.

    25. JR

      What's the worst one?

    26. JL

      I don't know. I'm trying to think. That's what I mean. I guess, uh, I don't know. Bringing Out the Dead?

    27. JR

      Hmm.

    28. JL

      That Nick Cage movie from the '90s, maybe. Prob- Oh, New York, New York. That's like a musical that he made with De Niro in, like, the late '70s. I mean, it's probably-

    29. JR

      He made a musical?

    30. JL

      Yeah.

  5. 1:00:001:09:54

    You got a good…

    1. JL

    2. JR

      You got a good point.

    3. JL

      ... a fellow comedian, but ...

    4. JR

      There's a lighter over there. Oh, you got one.

    5. JL

      Yeah, I got one. Sorry.

    6. JR

      I don't mean to shame for real, just mean to shame for humor.

    7. JL

      Um ...

    8. JR

      Humor only.

    9. JL

      Yeah, I don't really feel ashamed either. Do I stink? Is this the worst episode you've ever done? I feel like I'm eating shit.

    10. JR

      It's a great episode.

    11. JL

      Oh, all right.

    12. JR

      What are you talking about, man? I'm enjoying the shit out of it, dude.

    13. JL

      (laughs)

    14. JR

      Listen, man.

    15. JL

      I feel like, I'm like, "Oh, I suck."

    16. JR

      I know the fact that you've got self-esteem issues, but I think you're a fucking hilarious standup comedian. I think you're a great guy. I always enjoy talking to you and, uh, I'm happy to, to pump you up-

    17. JL

      Oh, thank you.

    18. JR

      ... and to get you over this hump that you have.

    19. JL

      Thank you. What a funny time to be lighting a cigar as you're like, "No, I think you're great. Come over here."

    20. JR

      Like, "Yeah, I'm the shit, bro."... with my fat stogie.

    21. JL

      I feel like I don't have a good cigar look. I feel like a guy, when I'm smoking, people are like, "Look at this fucking asshole pretending to be cool."

    22. JR

      Okay. Well, I look like, "Look at that fucking asshole smoking a cigar."

    23. JL

      You do, yeah.

    24. JR

      Yeah, look it. I'm a, a bald, fat-headed fuck with a stupid cigar in my mouth. Me and Bobby Kelly should be lying about things, sitting next to each other smoking cigars, lying.

    25. JL

      I love Bobby. Bobby's a big cigar guy.

    26. JR

      I know.

    27. JL

      He smokes-

    28. JR

      That's why I brought him up.

    29. JL

      ... the most cigars.

    30. JR

      'Cause we're both fat-headed, bald guys. (laughs)
