      The Joe Rogan Experience.

   3. NANarrator0:06

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

   4. BKBert Kreischer0:14

      I don't remember the bit either, but there's a few bits that you go as a comic ... I was just talking, uh, with, uh, Jo Koy about this. Where you get inspired by the comics, where you go, "Goddamn, man, I'm not working hard enough."

   5. JRJoe Rogan0:27

      Right.

   6. BKBert Kreischer0:27

      "I'm not doing enough."

   7. JRJoe Rogan0:28

      That's why it's good to see people that are really good, right?

   8. BKBert Kreischer0:30

      Oh.

   9. JRJoe Rogan0:30

      'Cause you get that juice, just like that fuel that you get from Goggins-

   10. BKBert Kreischer0:33

       (laughs)

   11. JRJoe Rogan0:33

       ... you get that fuel from watching Chappelle.

   12. BKBert Kreischer0:35

       Oh, I get that.

   13. JRJoe Rogan0:36

       Or watching Bill Burr.

   14. BKBert Kreischer0:36

       Or watching you guys all touring, doing these big shows-

   15. JRJoe Rogan0:39

       Yeah.

   16. BKBert Kreischer0:39

       ... and I go-

   17. JRJoe Rogan0:39

       It's interesting.

   18. BKBert Kreischer0:40

       Oh.

   19. JRJoe Rogan0:40

       It's exciting. The ... But we have to ha- we have to resist the idea of being jealous, 'cause it's so common in our world.

   20. BKBert Kreischer0:50

       Or c- or just subtly cunty, or taking shots at kings.

   21. JRJoe Rogan0:54

       Yeah. Yeah.

   22. BKBert Kreischer0:55

       So, like ... So, like-

   23. JRJoe Rogan0:56

       Yeah.

   24. BKBert Kreischer0:56

       ... I, I, you know, I've, I, we talk- m- Tom and I talk about this on 2 Bears 1 Cave that's coming up. But, like, you know, Chris Rock got so big for a while that I think people stopped paying the respect he deserved.

   25. JRJoe Rogan1:07

       100%

   26. BKBert Kreischer1:08

       And I ... And when he got COVID, I realized how, just how important Chris Rock was to me. Like, I, like, out o- just n- you know, 'cause I think Norm had just passed, and I was a- the biggest Norm fan in the world. And then Chris Rock got sick, and I w- and I wa- I did, like, a deep dive on my own head of, like, just how fucking great that guy is.

   27. JRJoe Rogan1:27

       Well, if you go back to, like, Bigger and Blacker, or you go back to-

   28. BKBert Kreischer1:31

       Bring the Pain, Bring the Pain.

   29. JRJoe Rogan1:32

       ... Bring the Pain-

   30. BKBert Kreischer1:33

       Bring the Pain.
2. 15:00 – 30:00

   (laughs) …

   1. BKBert Kreischer15:00

      I don't... whatever the fuck I said, but I was like, "Brand is a, is a lazy term for authenticity." If you wanna say authenticity, I'll try to be as authentic as I am. Like, I know what I like, I know what I dig. I like, I like flip-flops. I make my own flip-flops.

   2. JRJoe Rogan15:13

      (laughs)

   3. BKBert Kreischer15:13

      That's what I like, right? I make my own flip-f-... I like flip-flops, you know? I talked, I was talking to YETI. I might have been talking to YETI and they were like... I was like, "I like your shit, man. I like your shit."

   4. JRJoe Rogan15:23

      They have dope coolers.

   5. BKBert Kreischer15:24

      They're amazing coolers.

   6. JRJoe Rogan15:25

      Great tumblers.

   7. BKBert Kreischer15:26

      Their growlers are fucking-

   8. JRJoe Rogan15:28

      Excellent.

   9. BKBert Kreischer15:29

      ... amazing. You load them with ice before you go to the airport and fill them-

   10. JRJoe Rogan15:31

       It's a free YETI ad. I like their coffee cups too, the little coffee cups, the little lid thing on them.

   11. BKBert Kreischer15:35

       Their coffee cups are gangster.

   12. JRJoe Rogan15:37

       Very good.

   13. BKBert Kreischer15:37

       And I go-

   14. JRJoe Rogan15:38

       Solid products.

   15. BKBert Kreischer15:38

       ... "Are you saying YETI is my brand?" Well, yeah, I like their shit.

   16. JRJoe Rogan15:42

       They're my favorite shit. When I... if... I went to buy a cooler, uh, this week-

   17. BKBert Kreischer15:45

       Oh.

   18. JRJoe Rogan15:46

       ... and unfortunately they were out of YETIs.

   19. BKBert Kreischer15:48

       Really?

   20. JRJoe Rogan15:48

       Yeah, I had to buy some fucking other fake-ass cooler.

   21. BKBert Kreischer15:51

       Oh, dude.

   22. JRJoe Rogan15:51

       They had sold them out. That's the problem.

   23. BKBert Kreischer15:53

       We travel, we travel with a YETI 'cause when you, when Dave does-

   24. JRJoe Rogan15:56

       It's like, great.

   25. BKBert Kreischer15:56

       ... barbecue, you can close it up in a YETI with some bla- uh, some pla- uh, paper more than, right? (sighs)

   26. JRJoe Rogan16:02

       What are you saying? What words are these?

   27. BKBert Kreischer16:03

       I don't know, Joe. I don't know, Joe.

   28. JRJoe Rogan16:05

       What are these new words?

   29. NANarrator16:05

       Foil? Aluminum foil or something?

   30. BKBert Kreischer16:06

       Nope, not aluminum foil. Paper.
3. 30:00 – 45:00

   Yep. …

   1. JRJoe Rogan30:00

      benefit.

   2. BKBert Kreischer30:01

      Yep.

   3. JRJoe Rogan30:01

      There's a lot of variables. And you also agree that some people that run businesses are crooks, and they're mean.

   4. BKBert Kreischer30:06

      Oh, of course, yeah.

   5. JRJoe Rogan30:06

      And, and then th- they, they're not r- you know, th- they don't treat their, uh, employees right, and there's a lot of variables to being a person. And when we break it down to just left versus right, we get caught up in these fucking tribes with the Dolphins versus the Eagles. It's like some shit happens-

   6. BKBert Kreischer30:21

      Yeah.

   7. JRJoe Rogan30:21

      ... where we get stuck on teams, and it's fucking dangerous, and we don't recognize it. We think it's just a normal part of being a person, where you're attacking all the people that are on CNN, "Look at how dumb they are," or you're attacking all the people on Fox News, "They're talking shit about the vaccine, but they're all vaccinated." And it's way better off if we just agree to abandon everything that's connected to teams and just focus on what do we need to do. Uh, th- what do we need to do to get everything back on track? We don't need a, a, to, a fucking gang war between goofy ideologies.

   8. BKBert Kreischer30:57

      Yeah. And what's, what's, what's crazy to me is that, uh, in LA, the people that don't get vaccinated are the liberals. It's the-

   9. JRJoe Rogan31:04

      What?

   10. BKBert Kreischer31:05

       Yeah. So-

   11. JRJoe Rogan31:06

       No.

   12. BKBert Kreischer31:06

       Yeah.

   13. JRJoe Rogan31:06

       A lot of liberals are v- I'm like most of them are vaccinated.

   14. BKBert Kreischer31:08

       Oh, no. Oh, no.

   15. JRJoe Rogan31:09

       What are you talking about?

   16. BKBert Kreischer31:10

       Oh, no.

   17. JRJoe Rogan31:11

       Which liberals?

   18. BKBert Kreischer31:12

       The diehard, healthy liberals.

   19. JRJoe Rogan31:16

       Yoga people.

   20. BKBert Kreischer31:17

       Yeah, yoga people.

   21. JRJoe Rogan31:18

       Yeah, yeah. I wonder what the vaccine rate for yoga people is.

   22. BKBert Kreischer31:20

       We have a lot of friends that aren't vaccinated and won't get their kids vaccinated. And look, I, look, I'm, just to be 100% clear so everyone knows, I'm vaccinated, my daughter's vaccinated, my wife's vaccinated. We have friends that aren't vaccinated and refuse to get vaccinated, and they are hardcore liberals. Like, like, a, a lot of them, or, uh, we have a lot of them in our lives, and they just won't get... And same thing in Boulder. We have friends, we went to look at Boulder, you know, schools or whatever, and a lot of people in Boulder won't get vaccinated. And-

   23. JRJoe Rogan31:49

       Yeah, those hippies, those old school hippies.

   24. BKBert Kreischer31:51

       Yeah.

   25. JRJoe Rogan31:51

       I think you're talking about there's a different thing between, like, liberals and hippies.

   26. BKBert Kreischer31:56

       Well, it's, it's, yeah.

   27. JRJoe Rogan31:57

       Those macrobiotic motherfuckers-

   28. BKBert Kreischer31:59

       Yeah, yeah. And, and you go-

   29. JRJoe Rogan31:59

       They're taking acidophilus.

   30. BKBert Kreischer32:00

       And you go, it's so funny to watch the two waves collide, like you-
4. 45:00 – 1:00:00

   Was I was having…

   1. JRJoe Rogan45:00

      B-man.

   2. BKBert Kreischer45:00

      Was I was having a hard time, um, I was having a hard time, uh, validating my own success.

   3. JRJoe Rogan45:06

      Oh.

   4. BKBert Kreischer45:07

      And so what I was-

   5. JRJoe Rogan45:08

      Imposter syndrome.

   6. BKBert Kreischer45:09

      Yeah.

   7. JRJoe Rogan45:09

      Salud. Salud, my brother.

   8. BKBert Kreischer45:10

      Salud, brother. It's great doing this with you.

   9. JRJoe Rogan45:11

      Yeah, always.

   10. BKBert Kreischer45:12

       But I was having a hard time validating my own success, and I was like, and I was like, "Well he... I know I'm lucky. I need him to acknowledge he's lucky."

   11. JRJoe Rogan45:20

       Oh.

   12. BKBert Kreischer45:20

       'Cause I, I wasn't willing to admit... I never wanted anyone to think I worked hard 'cause I was like, "That takes the, the recipe out of the cake." You know?

   13. JRJoe Rogan45:28

       I get how you would say that, and I get why you would think that, but it's a waste of time. It's a waste of time wanting someone to admit they're lucky. Like, if, if you can see that there's some fortune in how they got to who they are, just let them say it. If they don't wanna say it, who gives a shit?

   14. BKBert Kreischer45:44

       Yeah.

   15. JRJoe Rogan45:44

       You get it and most people get it too. And as long as you're honest about what you feel are your most fortunate moments-

   16. BKBert Kreischer45:52

       Dude, I-

   17. JRJoe Rogan45:53

       You don't, you don't have to judge other people on their fortune.

   18. BKBert Kreischer45:55

       I'm the luckiest guy there is in this business. And I, and I, and I, I do work hard, but I, but I-

   19. JRJoe Rogan46:00

       Dude, you work hard.

   20. BKBert Kreischer46:01

       But I work hard.

   21. JRJoe Rogan46:01

       You work so hard.

   22. BKBert Kreischer46:02

       And I don't think I realized... I don't think I-

   23. JRJoe Rogan46:04

       I'm always stunned. You always have some new TV show you're doing. There's always some new wacky shit. I'm like-

   24. BKBert Kreischer46:08

       Yeah.

   25. JRJoe Rogan46:08

       ... "What is Bert doing over there?" You're always doing something.

   26. BKBert Kreischer46:10

       But I think I wanted a way to justify where I was, where I was to, like... I, I w- just wanted to diminish it, I think, a little bit.

   27. JRJoe Rogan46:19

       I understand, but I, uh, my advice to anybody, like you or me, 'cause I'm the same way, is just, like, enjoy what you're doing. Just get to the place where you just enjoy what you're doing and try to do your best.

   28. BKBert Kreischer46:30

       Yeah.

   29. JRJoe Rogan46:30

       There's enough challenge in just trying to do your best. Like, we add external challenge almost to distract ourselves from the, the real significant challenge that we face. So we add a bunch of shit on the outside of it, almost like so it makes, like, whatever the most important thing we're really focusing on less important 'cause we got other stuff that's distracting us. It gives you a built-in reason for fucking it up. It's like a artist sabotage method. It's, it happens with a lot of people.

   30. BKBert Kreischer46:53

       Oh, yeah.
5. 1:00:00 – 1:10:19

   Play FM, play FM.…

   1. JRJoe Rogan1:00:00

      have any idea. He wouldn't-

   2. BKBert Kreischer1:00:01

      Play FM, play FM.

   3. JRJoe Rogan1:00:01

      ... even know they existed.

   4. BKBert Kreischer1:00:02

      Mark Normand, I played this for Mark.

   5. JRJoe Rogan1:00:03

      Play FM, the song?

   6. BKBert Kreischer1:00:05

      FM.

   7. JRJoe Rogan1:00:05

      Okay.

   8. BKBert Kreischer1:00:05

      On Steely Dan. And Mark Normand was like, "I've never heard this. I've never heard this."

   9. JRJoe Rogan1:00:09

      'Cause he's 30.

   10. BKBert Kreischer1:00:10

       And it's so crazy, I go-

   11. JRJoe Rogan1:00:11

       It's like, "You need to listen though."

   12. BKBert Kreischer1:00:13

       And he goes... And Mark Normand called it elevator music.

   13. JRJoe Rogan1:00:15

       Let me hear this.

   14. BKBert Kreischer1:00:17

       This is ninth grade.

   15. JRJoe Rogan1:00:38

       Oh, yeah.

   16. NANarrator1:00:39

       ... and bottles, ooh mama. It's grapefruit wine. Take off your high heel sneakers, it's party time. The girls don't seem to care that's on. As long as they play till dawn. (laughs)

   17. BKBert Kreischer1:01:04

       This is the best part, ready?

   18. NANarrator1:01:06

       Nothing but blues and Elvis. And somebody else's favorite song. Give us some funking music-

   19. BKBert Kreischer1:01:16

       The, the part that-

   20. NANarrator1:01:18

       ... that treats you right.

   21. BKBert Kreischer1:01:18

       ... would flip me out all week. And I couldn't get my daughters to connect with it. Keep going, keep going.

   22. NANarrator1:01:23

       All right, it's just going lower. Sorry.

   23. BKBert Kreischer1:01:24

       And, oh, come back. Is right after this.

   24. NANarrator1:01:29

       The girls don't seem to care tonight. As long as the mood is right.

   25. BKBert Kreischer1:01:38

       This is the part, Joe.

   26. NANarrator1:01:40

       No static. No static. No static. And there's no static.

   27. JRJoe Rogan1:01:48

       Oh.

   28. BKBert Kreischer1:01:50

       I was like, I was on a fucking high.

   29. JRJoe Rogan1:01:52

       It's a different world.

   30. BKBert Kreischer1:01:52

       It's a different-
