    (drumbeats) Joe Rogan podcast,…

    1. JR

      (drumbeats) Joe Rogan podcast, check it out.

    2. JK

      The Joe Rogan Experience. (rock music plays)

    3. JR

      Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day. Why the fuck would anybody interrupt your show to do that?

    4. JK

      Because they're crazy.

    5. JR

      That is such a dumb thing to do-

    6. JK

      I know.

    7. JR

      ... interrupt a performance-

    8. JK

      Yeah.

    9. JR

      ... to move a bottle off a stool.

    10. JK

      Yeah.

    11. JR

      Like, as if someone's at home going, "Well, I was enjoying a performance. She was very funny."

    12. JK

      Yeah.

    13. JR

      "But that bottle-

    14. JK

      Right, I mean, I- there would ha- there would-

    15. JR

      ... that bottle on the stool."

    16. JK

      ... have been millions of people who would've been upset about the bottle, so it makes sense.

    17. JR

      Well, was it a product placement thing? Was there a label on the bottle that was a problem?

    18. JK

      No, it just was bothering someone that there was a bottle in the way.

    19. JR

      Oh, my God. This is why it's a problem when you have executives and too many cooks in the kitchen.

    20. JK

      I agree completely.

    21. JR

      What a fucking nightmare.

    22. JK

      I was so pissed. I literally went to the microphone and said, "I'm gonna fucking kill myself."

    23. JR

      (laughs)

    24. JK

      That was what I said.

    25. JR

      They should've left that whole thing in.

    26. JK

      I know. (laughs)

    27. JR

      Like the person coming on the stage, taking off the bottle, and showing like what other art form would be disrespected like that?

    28. JK

      Yeah.

    29. JR

      Could you imagine Eric Clapton in the middle-

    30. JK

      (laughs)

  2. 15:0030:00

    Yeah, I don't get…

    1. JR

      people that are getting out of this slump and moving on with their lives.

    2. JK

      Yeah, I don't get it. It's like, it's okay for you and you can choose whatever you want. And if you wanna stay home, I totally respect that. But what does that have to do with me and my life?

    3. JR

      Well, now you're talking like a rational person.

    4. JK

      Right. Why is someone judging me for my choices? I don't judge anyone for their choices. I don't get it.

    5. JR

      I'm a big fan of judging people for their choices. It's fun.

    6. JK

      (laughs) No, I'm serious.

    7. JR

      (laughs) I am, too. I judge 'em. I just d- I won't attack 'em publicly.

    8. JK

      No, I'm saying that, that, but, w- I think that's what I'm saying.

    9. JR

      Yeah.

    10. JK

      Of course, I judge people. (laughs) But like-

    11. JR

      (laughs)

    12. JK

      ... I would never publicly say-

    13. JR

      Yeah.

    14. JK

      ... about another comic, like, it's like, you know, if someone decides to stay home, great. If they decide to go out, gr- Like, I just, it's not, it's not... I just didn't think it was appropriate to go and be like, "How dare you go out and start working?"

    15. JR

      Yeah.

    16. JK

      You know, I, I got a- a- also I got extra defensive about it because I not only support four kids, but I have a child with a, a heart disease. I don't even know if you know that.

    17. JR

      I know, I didn't know that.

    18. JK

      My five and a half year old has severe heart disease. And, you know, we have medical bills. I deal with a lot of stuff. And I ha- I had to get out and work. Like, these people don't h- People have their own experiences.

    19. JR

      Yeah.

    20. JK

      You know? You don't know other people's stories. And I had people say shit to me, like in New York when I saw them eventually. Like, "I can't believe you went out and worked. I can't believe you got on planes." What the fuck are you talking about?

    21. JR

      (laughs)

    22. JK

      You don't know my story. You don't know the bills I have or what I need to do. You d-

    23. JR

      It's so convenient when someone's single and they don't have any real obligation to anybody other than themselves.

    24. JK

      Exactly. That's what I'm trying to say.

    25. JR

      Yeah. Yeah, and after a while, it's like, you know, we gotta move on, kids. We gotta move on.

    26. JK

      Mm-hmm.

    27. JR

      We gotta move on with life, like, w- w- you know? It's been almost two years. It's time to keep rolling.

    28. JK

      Well, some of us have to move o- I mean...

    29. JR

      Yeah.

    30. JK

      You know. I mean, I'm, I'm incredibly, uh, careful myself. Um, but I, I had, I have to move on. (laughs) You know?

  3. 30:0045:00

    No. …

    1. JR

      meat and dairy-

    2. JK

      No.

    3. JR

      ... because Chinese cooking is virtually dairy-free.

    4. JK

      Mm-hmm.

    5. JR

      Interesting.

    6. JK

      That's so... That makes so much sense.

    7. JR

      Mm. If, if, uh, Chinese American cooking, if there's any pork, which is not a Kosher food, it's usually concealed inside of something, like a wonton. A lot of Jews back then, and even now, kept strict Kosher inside the home, but were more flexible with food they ate at restaurants. Um, see if you can find pictures of Chinese folks working on the railroads, 'cause it's, it's, it's one of the darker, more unsung chapters of American history. You know, people don't really talk about it that much, but I read a article many years ago about it. Look at this. Building the transcontinental railroad-

    8. JK

      Wow.

    9. JR

      ... how 20,000 Chinese immigrants made it happen. Yeah, it was... I don't know how or why... I don't remember how or why it was, uh, Chinese people, but there's some-... c- see if you can find some pictures, because there's some crazy pictures of these folks working there, and it just, like, you see the looks in their faces, and they're malnourished and-

    10. JK

      Oh.

    11. JR

      ... ha- hammering fucking spikes into the, the ground and putting railroad ties down, just all the way across America.

    12. JK

      God, it's so, uh...

    13. JR

      People are gross.

    14. JK

      People are horrific. (laughs)

    15. JR

      (laughs) Yeah, that's a good one. (coughs) Chinese railroad workers. It's hard to see.

    16. JK

      There's one.

    17. JR

      That's a good one too. That's a good one.

    18. JK

      Yeah, they look happy.

    19. JR

      That's good. Yeah, fucking so depressed.

    20. JK

      That looks like my audience last night.

    21. JR

      Ah, gah, gah, gah, gah, gah. Where were you?

    22. JK

      What? I- in my hotel room.

    23. JR

      (laughs) Did you do a Zoom show?

    24. JK

      In, in my mind. (laughs)

    25. JR

      My friend, John Heffron, did a Zoom show back in the day, like way back in the day. He was, like, one of the first guys to do them before there was ever even a pandemic.

    26. JK

      Oh, really?

    27. JR

      Yeah, he, uh, he would, uh, set up these corporate shows-

    28. JK

      Mm-hmm.

    29. JR

      ... and what he would do is he would st- he would be in front of, uh, a camera, and he had, like, a wall of screens. So everyone that was-

    30. JK

      Mm-hmm.

  4. 45:001:00:00

    That probably helped. …

    1. JK

      all over him in his mouth and then he came and-

    2. JR

      That probably helped.

    3. JK

      No, it was un-

    4. JR

      He came in his mouth too?

    5. JK

      Yes. It was... Okay, Tom kept saying, "It's not over." I said, "What's next?"

    6. JR

      (laughs)

    7. JK

      "What's next?"

    8. JR

      Oh my God. Jesus Christ. There's people out there like that, but that's my point. It's like there's people that always want to take things to the next level, you know?

    9. JK

      I don't understand eating shit. Like, and I'm very open.

    10. JR

      (laughs)

    11. JK

      I mean, I am, I am really open.

    12. JR

      What a crazy statement.

    13. JK

      Like, I get a lot.

    14. JR

      Yeah.

    15. JK

      Yeah, I get a lot. But I don't get eating shit. Like, and, and keeping, and picking it up and then keep putting it in your mouth, and then keep eating more, eating more. Like, I don't understand how that's a turn on. Do you?

    16. JR

      At some point in time you should stop.

    17. JK

      (Laughs) Yeah, it was like-

    18. JR

      Yeah, he shouldn't eat shit all day.

    19. JK

      Right, it was like he kept, like w- wouldn't left, leave any on the plate. He kept eating more and more and more. What is that? Do you understand it in any way?

    20. JR

      Bad parenting.

    21. JK

      (laughs)

    22. JR

      For sure. I mean, let's start with that. Let's start with bad parenting.

    23. JK

      That's what I mean. They're damaged. There's something wrong.

    24. JR

      Well, there's something that they, they say happens to people when they get, uh, like scolded for shitting their pants when they're really young and like really punished and shamed. For some men in particular, and it seems to mostly be men, for some men that becomes a thing that gets somehow, uh, attached to sexuality.

    25. JK

      That makes sense.

    26. JR

      Yeah. Yeah, like naughtiness and you're a bad boy. And then, you know, and then you're shitting and then, you know, you're doing sh- things like that. Maybe you want to see someone shit or some like... Y- you remember there was a story about a certain actor. Uh, I don't know if it's true, but he would, uh, hire women to shit on a glass table and he would-

    27. JK

      I r- I remember that.

    28. JR

      Yeah. Hey, yo. That guy.

    29. JK

      (laughs)

    30. JR

      And so he would, uh, he... (laughs) I don't know if it's true. It's probably not true, but let's just pretend it is.

  5. 1:00:001:09:26

    Well, we don't have…

    1. JK

    2. JR

      Well, we don't have to... Oh, looks good.

    3. JK

      Oh, look at that.

    4. JR

      Bagels. That looks legit.

    5. JK

      Oh, yeah.

    6. JR

      Oh, look at that pastrami. Ruben.

    7. JK

      Oh, no, that's a good one.

    8. JR

      That's in Austin?

    9. JK

      I'm telling you.

    10. JV

      Yeah, north side of town.

    11. JR

      That looks fucking good.

    12. JK

      Yes. Oh, that has capers on it. That, no, that's a good one.

    13. JR

      That looks good.

    14. JK

      I can tell.

    15. JR

      That looks legit. Listen to me. All the sudden I'm Jewish. That looks good.

    16. JV

      Hey.

    17. JK

      (laughs)

    18. JR

      That looks legit.

    19. JV

      It's from Cleveland Mustard.

    20. JK

      That looks wonderful. Ball Park Mustard? Yeah.

    21. JV

      It's from Cleveland, so it's probably good.

    22. JR

      Oh, yeah. There you go. So, uh, but what my point was that like over time, like people ju- like it doesn't mean anything anymore.

    23. JK

      Mm-hmm.

    24. JR

      Like people like let it go. Like whatever prejudice they had in the past, over generations, it be- it becomes like less prevalent.

    25. JK

      Mm-hmm.

    26. JR

      And it seems like there's never been a time ever in our culture where being gay is more accepted. This is the most... Right?

    27. JK

      Absolutely.

    28. JR

      Right now?

    29. JK

      I don't think most people care at all.

    30. JR

      At all.
