    1. NA

      (drumming music) Joe Rogan podcast, check it out.

    2. The Joe Rogan Experience.

    3. JR

      Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night. All day. (instrumental music) Hello, Mike.

    4. MW

      Hey, how's it going? (laughs)

    5. JR

      You, you look exactly how I thought you were gonna look.

    6. MW

      (laughs)

    7. JR

      Isn't that perfect?

    8. MW

      How was that?

    9. JR

      Good. You look like a-

    10. MW

      (laughs)

    11. JR

      ... like a eccentric-

    12. MW

      (laughs)

    13. JR

      ... fun art guy.

    14. MW

      An eccentric... (laughs) Fun art guy. Okay, I'll take that.

    15. JR

      All those things are positive.

    16. MW

      I'll take that.

    17. JR

      They're all- it's all positive.

    18. MW

      I guess that's-

    19. JR

      It's all positive.

    20. MW

      That's actually pretty accurate right now, I guess.

    21. JR

      Yeah.

    22. MW

      I guess we're-

    23. JR

      You're an eccentric-

    24. MW

      ... I guess we're right there.

    25. JR

      ... fun art guy.

    26. MW

      Uh, yeah. (laughs)

    27. JR

      And I brought you in here for one specific reason.

    28. MW

      Okay, what's that?

    29. JR

      Or two reasons. One, 'cause I think you're really talented and I enjoy your stuff.

    30. MW

      Thank you, thank you.

  2. 15:00 – 30:00

    Can I- …

    1. MW

    2. JR

      Can I-

    3. MW

      ... that I can like put- jam shit in. It's called kit bashing. I can like bash shit in really fast to like make this.

    4. JR

      Okay, let me ... I gotta interject sometimes. Like what do you mean you bought a 3D model of a dick? What does that mean?

    5. MW

      So-

    6. JR

      He just glossed over that. You notice that? (laughs)

    7. MW

      (laughs) That's true. That's true. I was like-

    8. JR

      How did you do this?

    9. MW

      Okay. Over-

    10. JR

      I don't know what you're saying.

    11. MW

      Okay, so a 3D model of a dick is basically just a ... I'm trying to like ... It's kind of like a representation in like a game sort of like, uh, engine of a, like, dick. And it's- so it's like the shape of a dick, and you can put any sort of like texture on it. So again, think of like in a 3D world, you see like a gun or a car.

    12. JR

      Right.

    13. MW

      Instead of it being a car, it's a dick. And I can place it wherever I want and then sort of like compose a, like, picture with it.

    14. JR

      But you purchase it? You have to purchase it.

    15. MW

      Yeah, you can just buy it. There's just like sites where you can just like go on there, 3D dick, penis 3D model. And that's just-

    16. JR

      And how much does a d- 3D dick model cost?

    17. MW

      I believe it was $12.

    18. JR

      So you get a 3D dick model.

    19. MW

      (laughs)

    20. JR

      Is it ... Use Bitcoin? How are you paying for this?

    21. MW

      No, it's just like a fucking ... it's like nothing. It's like fucking Amazon. It's- it's like two seconds.

    22. JR

      Ah, so it's a one-click?

    23. MW

      It's like three impale. Yeah, it's like no-

    24. JR

      Oh, okay.

    25. MW

      No, it's not on Amazon, but it-

    26. JR

      I know what you're saying.

    27. MW

      It's a- it's a- it's like ... Yeah, it's like nothing.

    28. JR

      Yeah, right.

    29. MW

      It's like there's sites... Turbo Squid is another one. Turbo Squid has literally probably, I don't even know, millions of- of 3D models. They're the like biggest one. I've used tons and tons of models from them. You just type anything, a bike, bicycle, car, helmet, whatever.

    30. JR

      Tobasco?

  3. 30:00 – 45:00

    That's why I'm off…

    1. NA

      like, "Holy..." It's become like an internet meme now about...

    2. JR

      That's why I'm off Twitter.

    3. NA

      (laughs)

    4. JR

      Uh, show me this, uh, image that compares Nancy Reagan to Madonna at the same age.

    5. NA

      Oh, okay. I will.

    6. JR

      The thing about Madonna is like you never really know what she looks like, 'cause every picture is so heavily filtered.Like, if you didn't know any better, you'd think she's 30 years old.

    7. MW

      (laughs) We're actually working on a thing. (laughs) See, here's even like, Ben Shapiro's sister tried to slut-shame Madonna by comparing her to Nancy Reagan.

    8. JR

      (laughs)

    9. MW

      And it backfired.

    10. JR

      Oh, God. Who wrote this? Oh, The Daily Dot. Oh, you silly people.

    11. MW

      Ah, but that's the tweet.

    12. JR

      Oh, didn't fucking... She got mad at 50 Cent. I saw that. Because 50 Cent was making fun of her for being in her underwear in some Instagram post.

    13. MW

      Um, but-

    14. JR

      Where is this comparison?

    15. MW

      The, oh, that was the picture right there. That was it.

    16. JR

      Oh, right there?

    17. MW

      Where is she? Okay. Yeah, she's 63 in that picture and Nancy Reagan is 64 in that picture.

    18. JR

      But that, see look at, that's what I'm saying. That might as well be a bleep hole.

    19. MW

      (laughs)

    20. JR

      That's not really her.

    21. MW

      No?

    22. JR

      Like, she's got one titty hanging out and she's got- (laughs)

    23. MW

      Dude, we are working on something. I am working on something with Madonna. (laughs) Yeah, you just... (laughs)

    24. JR

      But like, look at that image. Get... Make that larger if you can.

    25. MW

      Oh. (laughs)

    26. JR

      'Cause like, what is that? That's not even a picture. That's a cartoon.

    27. MW

      What do you mean?

    28. JR

      I mean, she's got-

    29. MW

      Well, it's Photoshopped for sure.

    30. JR

      For sure. She's got one titty out, right?

  4. 45:00 – 1:00:00

    Oh, Jesus fucking Christ.…

    1. JR

      you have to perform for these people that like you. Oh, they brought in the whiskey.

    2. MW

      Oh, Jesus fucking Christ.

    3. JR

      It's time to get fucked up.

    4. MW

      Okay, God damn it.

    5. JR

      Listen, people.

    6. MW

      (laughs)

    7. JR

      It's time to throw down.

    8. MW

      (laughs) Oh, Jesus.

    9. JR

      I had some, uh, really old whiskey-

    10. MW

      (groans) Oh, fucking, it tears.

    11. JR

      ... when I was in Vegas this weekend and I was like, "This stuff is fucking incredible."

    12. MW

      (laughs)

    13. JR

      What, there was... How old's that one? They're both 18 years old. Macallan, this sounds like the right stuff.

    14. MW

      Oh, sweet baby Jesus.

    15. JR

      Oh, come on, bro. What are you worried about?

    16. MW

      (laughs)

    17. JR

      We're just gonna have one glass.

    18. MW

      They, um... Yeah, no. I, I think, uh...

    19. JR

      You know what I'm saying, though? It's like, so the whole business is based on getting people to like you. So, you take-

    20. MW

      How many auditions did you go on, like?

    21. JR

      Quite a few.

    22. MW

      How many did, would you say total in your like, lifetime? Just ballpark.

    23. JR

      Oh, I don't know. I don't know. Well, I got re-

    24. MW

      Couple 100?

    25. JR

      Nah, not that many. I got really, really fortunate, in that, when I first started... Where's my knife? Uh, okay, here it is. I got really, really fortunate, in that, when I first started out, and this is the craziest story. It's true, I swear to God, even though it sounds nuts. The first two things I ever auditioned for, I got.

    26. MW

      Really? (laughs)

    27. JR

      Yeah. Yeah, the first two things I ever auditioned for, I got. It doesn't make any sense. It's so ridiculous.

    28. MW

      So, you got a part and then you did-

    29. JR

      Yeah.

    30. MW

      ... another one and then it's like-

  5. 1:00:00 – 1:04:03

    This comes out. …

    1. JR

      the y-

    2. MW

      This comes out.

    3. JR

      You pull this out?

    4. MW

      Yeah, yeah, yeah. You pull both of them out.

    5. JR

      Oh. And this-

    6. MW

      And so you pull that out too.

    7. JR

      ... sets on the ... Oh.

    8. MW

      Yeah. And so there's cords behind that.

    9. JR

      Dude, this is so dope.

    10. MW

      And then it like lights it. So if you pull out that cord bag too. So then this too.

    11. NA

      There's like a ...

    12. MW

      Pull that out.

    13. JR

      Pull this?

    14. MW

      That's a hair sample.

    15. JR

      That's a hair sample.

    16. MW

      Yeah.

    17. JR

      From who?

    18. MW

      From me. (laughs)

    19. JR

      (laughs) You have a hair sample?

    20. MW

      There's a hair sample in there. It's a little vial.

    21. JR

      Okay. W- and what are you supposed to do with a hair sample?

    22. MW

      So it goes on the, like ... the base there.

    23. JR

      On the base. Where?

    24. MW

      On the other side. That's where it plugs in.

    25. JR

      It plugs into the base?

    26. MW

      Here. Do you want me to grab it real quick?

    27. JR

      Does it plug in back here?

    28. MW

      So it kind of ... This goes like this.

    29. JR

      Okay.

    30. MW

      And then this goes on that and then it, like, plugs in on the, like, back here.
