   4. JDJakob Dylan0:15

      How you doing?

   5. JRJoe Rogan0:16

      Good to see you again, man.

   6. JDJakob Dylan0:17

      Good to see you.

   7. JRJoe Rogan0:18

      First time we met, we were talking about it earlier, uh, you took your kids to Fear Factor where it was a gross day, right?

   8. JDJakob Dylan0:24

      Uh, d- weren't they all, I suppose?

   9. JRJoe Rogan0:25

      No, the, the second day is always the gross day.

   10. JDJakob Dylan0:27

       Oh, I didn't know that.

   11. JRJoe Rogan0:28

       Yeah, it was the first day is a big stunt.

   12. JDJakob Dylan0:29

       Oh, today ... The first day is the sports day more.

   13. JRJoe Rogan0:31

       Yeah, and then the second day-

   14. JDJakob Dylan0:32

       Oh. (laughs)

   15. JRJoe Rogan0:32

       ... it's disgusting and then the third day it's usually something epic.

   16. JDJakob Dylan0:35

       Well, had I had a choice, we would've picked the disgusting day anyway.

   17. JRJoe Rogan0:38

       (laughs)

   18. JDJakob Dylan0:38

       That was pretty wild.

   19. JRJoe Rogan0:40

       I don't remember what it was. Do you?

   20. JDJakob Dylan0:42

       No, you know, it was downtown. It was in an abandoned building, like a-

   21. JRJoe Rogan0:45

       Yeah.

   22. JDJakob Dylan0:45

       ... warehouse style and it was disgusting before you guys even started.

   23. JRJoe Rogan0:48

       It was.

   24. JDJakob Dylan0:48

       I do remember the, what looked like an exploded melted cat on a chair.

   25. JRJoe Rogan0:52

       Oh.

   26. JDJakob Dylan0:53

       There was fur, there was a face and it had been, like, for many ... I don't know how, how long it had been there, but-

   27. JRJoe Rogan0:57

       That might be just a part of the landscape.

   28. JDJakob Dylan0:59

       I'm just saying that had nothing-

   29. JRJoe Rogan1:00

       Yeah.

   30. JDJakob Dylan1:00

       That wasn't you guys.
2. 15:00 – 30:00

   You know, he wouldn't…

   1. JRJoe Rogan15:00

      It's, uh, imagine if that guy was still alive.

   2. JDJakob Dylan15:04

      You know, he wouldn't be as old as you think if he was still alive. That's-

   3. JRJoe Rogan15:07

      Say your prayer.

   4. JDJakob Dylan15:07

      That's a... You know, I wouldn't do that. I wouldn't bring a phone into a podcast.

   5. JRJoe Rogan15:11

      (laughs)

   6. JDJakob Dylan15:11

      Uh, yeah.

   7. JRJoe Rogan15:12

      Just, always just use the do not disturb.

   8. JDJakob Dylan15:14

      I think I did, didn't I?

   9. JRJoe Rogan15:16

      Probably just put it on silent.

   10. JDJakob Dylan15:18

       Um, uh, what'd you say? You just asked me something.

   11. JRJoe Rogan15:21

       Oh, imagine if Buddy Holly stayed alive.

   12. JDJakob Dylan15:22

       Yeah, you know, he wouldn't be that, he wouldn't be as old as you think.

   13. JRJoe Rogan15:25

       How old would he be now? 22 in the '50s. He'd be 80 fucking years old.

   14. JDJakob Dylan15:31

       Well, so was Mick Jagger.

   15. JRJoe Rogan15:32

       Right.

   16. JDJakob Dylan15:32

       You know what I mean?

   17. JRJoe Rogan15:33

       True.

   18. JDJakob Dylan15:33

       Like, that generation, they're going into their 80s.

   19. JRJoe Rogan15:35

       Yeah.

   20. JDJakob Dylan15:35

       And maybe he'd be, I don't know exactly, maybe 86, 85. It's-

   21. JRJoe Rogan15:38

       Right.

   22. JDJakob Dylan15:38

       But, but you'd think he'd be 105.

   23. JRJoe Rogan15:40

       (laughs)

   24. JDJakob Dylan15:40

       And he, he wouldn't be.

   25. JRJoe Rogan15:42

       Yeah. It's, uh, it's, it's, it is really interesting the history of rockstars. Like, it had to be, it, it's gotta be a weird thing growing up being the son of literally one of the greatest musicians of all time. How, how weird is that?

   26. JDJakob Dylan16:00

       (laughs) You have to be maybe a little more specific. How weird?

   27. JRJoe Rogan16:04

       Your dad?

   28. JDJakob Dylan16:04

       Yeah.

   29. JRJoe Rogan16:05

       Yeah, how, what is it like?

   30. JDJakob Dylan16:05

       Yeah, no, no, I know, I know who he is. No, I know that.
3. 30:00 – 45:00

   Yeah. …

   1. JRJoe Rogan30:00

      obviously if it's good...If you like it and it's good, w- wouldn't you want other people to know about it? Like isn't it-

   2. JDJakob Dylan30:07

      Yeah.

   3. JRJoe Rogan30:07

      ... isn't it good if more people find out about-

   4. JDJakob Dylan30:09

      Well, you know, the goal is to be awesome and really big.

   5. JRJoe Rogan30:13

      Yeah.

   6. JDJakob Dylan30:13

      Like Prince.

   7. JRJoe Rogan30:14

      Right.

   8. JDJakob Dylan30:14

      That's the goal.

   9. JRJoe Rogan30:15

      Right. Perfect example.

   10. JDJakob Dylan30:15

       Everybody thinks you're awesome and you're really-

   11. JRJoe Rogan30:18

       Yeah.

   12. JDJakob Dylan30:18

       ... really popular.

   13. JRJoe Rogan30:18

       Yeah, if you didn't like Prince, like what the fuck is wrong with you?

   14. JDJakob Dylan30:22

       Well-

   15. JRJoe Rogan30:22

       Like everybody liked Prince.

   16. JDJakob Dylan30:23

       Yeah, like, yeah, you could... Someone tells you they don't like Prince or they don't like The Beatles, you don't trust the person.

   17. JRJoe Rogan30:28

       Right.

   18. JDJakob Dylan30:28

       They're either lying or you should probably just hightail it.

   19. JRJoe Rogan30:31

       Yeah, I've heard people say, "Well, a lot of The Stones songs suck." And you go, "Well, they had some great ones." They had some great ones. They had some songs that I'm not really into.

   20. JDJakob Dylan30:39

       Which everybody does.

   21. JRJoe Rogan30:40

       Yeah. But you can't say The Stones suck.

   22. JDJakob Dylan30:43

       No.

   23. JRJoe Rogan30:43

       You're not allowed to.

   24. JDJakob Dylan30:43

       Well, I used to... There was that... It was... I don't know if they still do it anymore. I used to hate that people would ask you, "Beatles or Stones?"

   25. JRJoe Rogan30:49

       Oh, those questions.

   26. JDJakob Dylan30:50

       It's just like... I mean, it would just make me livid, like-

   27. JRJoe Rogan30:52

       Yeah.

   28. JDJakob Dylan30:53

       ... you know, that's like saying indoors or outdoors.

   29. JRJoe Rogan30:54

       (laughs) Right.

   30. JDJakob Dylan30:55

       I need them both.
4. 45:00 – 1:00:00

   He had a lawyer/bodyguard?…

   1. JDJakob Dylan45:01

   2. JRJoe Rogan45:01

      He had a lawyer/bodyguard?

   3. JDJakob Dylan45:03

      That's what he was, and he was a very big guy. And we sat in a booth-

   4. JRJoe Rogan45:06

      (laughs)

   5. JDJakob Dylan45:06

      ... and it's hard to imagine now that like, uh... You know, the guy... He wasn't, like, being swarmed with people. It was Prince, you know? But, um, it... The... He... It's, it's awkward. It's like, you know, you're sitting, the four of us are in the booth just kinda like, "He don't... You know, I don't know what to say." And it's kinda loud, so if you did... If I did wanna really have a conversation, it'd be difficult. But the bodyguard kinda nudges me and he says, "You know, it's been 25 years since, uh, uh, Purple Rain." And I was like, "Oh, that's awesome." And then he, he, he's sitting next to me and he goes, "Excuse me?" I said, "That's awesome." He goes, "What's awesome?" I go, "The, the... Purple Rain is 25 years old. What, what a great record." And he goes, "Great record?" I say, "Yeah." And he goes, "Well, tell him." And he's, he's pointing at Prince. So now, I'm like... He's a very large man and he's, like, nudging me, and I'm thinking, "That's amazing. Prince, you're..." It's like he... He is... He, he cannot be insecure that people don't love Purple Rain. But I leaned over and I said, "You know, Purple Rain, like, wow, 25 years. What a great record." And he kinda fanned himself and he's like, "Oh, really? You think so?" And like, even Prince needed to hear once in a while that he was awesome.

   6. JRJoe Rogan46:05

      How weird is it that his bodyguard, this big giant dude's, like, nudging you to tell Prince that he's awesome?

   7. JDJakob Dylan46:10

      I felt like-

   8. JRJoe Rogan46:10

      (laughs)

   9. JDJakob Dylan46:10

      ... I got set up, like he knew Prince needed a compliment maybe. And-

   10. JRJoe Rogan46:14

       I'd be nervous that he would be- go, "Of course it's good, motherfucker!"

   11. JDJakob Dylan46:16

       Yeah, I was nervous.

   12. JRJoe Rogan46:17

       (laughs)

   13. JDJakob Dylan46:17

       Well, it was awkward, like... What is it? It's like the night at The Roxbury-

   14. JRJoe Rogan46:19

       Right.

   15. JDJakob Dylan46:19

       ... just kinda sitting in the booth just like, "You know, uh, it is Pri-... It is him. It is... It is Prince, right? It is." And then, like, you know?

   16. JRJoe Rogan46:26

       And so you guys aren't really interacting?

   17. JDJakob Dylan46:28

       A little bit. Um, not a lot. I think he just invited... He invited me just to come sit in his booth.

   18. JRJoe Rogan46:33

       Just to sit (laughs) .

   19. JDJakob Dylan46:34

       (laughs)

   20. JRJoe Rogan46:34

       That's so weird.

   21. JDJakob Dylan46:36

       But it was also very... It was very loud.

   22. JRJoe Rogan46:38

       Ugh.

   23. JDJakob Dylan46:38

       But that wasn't the problem. I think he just, you know... I, I don't know why I was asked to sit. But he w-... He was very nice. He was, you know... He was very, very cool.

   24. JRJoe Rogan46:46

       Wow. Yeah, I fucked up once real bad. I had an opportunity to see him live at the House of Blues in Vegas. And, uh, he was in The Foundation Room. You know, that small room upstairs?

   25. JDJakob Dylan47:00

       Mm-hmm.

   26. JRJoe Rogan47:00

       And it was... Uh, I had a show and my show was done by, like, 10 o'clock or something like that. And Prince was gonna go on somewhere after midnight. And it was like 11:30 and I was like, "Fuck, I'm tired. I don't wanna wait around." And I fucked up.

   27. JDJakob Dylan47:17

       Yeah, you did.

   28. JRJoe Rogan47:17

       And it was just, like, early 2000-ish, somewhere around then.

   29. JDJakob Dylan47:22

       Well, you feel like you fucked up only because-

   30. JRJoe Rogan47:24

       'Cause I missed it.
5. 1:00:00 – 1:00:56

   Yeah. Well, that is…

   1. JDJakob Dylan1:00:00

      seen... Yeah, of course, some, some wild ones. Some, sometimes you cringe and feel terrible.

   2. JRJoe Rogan1:00:03

      Yeah. Well, that is one of the things that brought me back to The Comedy Store. When I went to The Comedy Store in 2014, the first time I saw that, I hadn't been to The Comedy Store in, like seven years. And I saw that and I was like, "Wow."

   3. JDJakob Dylan1:00:13

      Yeah.

   4. JRJoe Rogan1:00:13

      Like it's, it's really a joke-writing show. It's, it's... Obviously you're insulting each other, but it's all new stuff.

   5. JDJakob Dylan1:00:20

      Mm-hmm.

   6. JRJoe Rogan1:00:21

      And one of the things that I told comics, I'm like, "There's so many guys that are doing this, that are writing, and girls and whatever, that are writing these bits."... that are, they're doing such a good job crafting this material. But then when you watch their regular act, they're not taking any chances. They're not-

   7. JDJakob Dylan1:00:36

      Hmm.

   8. JRJoe Rogan1:00:36

      ... writing any new things.

   9. JDJakob Dylan1:00:37

      Right.

   10. JRJoe Rogan1:00:38

       Because they've, they've known that there's this deadline, this l- looming date of doom-

   11. JDJakob Dylan1:00:43

       Yeah.

   12. JRJoe Rogan1:00:43

       ... that's on, you know, in two weeks from now.

   13. JDJakob Dylan1:00:45

       Did, uh, did the internet change that? I mean, for, for acts, for music acts, you know? The, the internet, being filmed every night, changed their, their ability to do the same shtick every night and set up songs with the same stories.
