    1. JR

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

    2. JK

      The Joe Rogan Experience.

    3. NA

      Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night. All day. (heavy guitar music)

    4. JK

      I look at all the women and I just said that.

    5. JR

      (laughs) Well, it's- he- way easier for you to say that than me.

    6. JK

      I'm part woman.

    7. JR

      I'm watching this fucking Johnny Depp-

    8. JK

      I've haven't-

    9. JR

      ... trial.

    10. JK

      ... but I'm dying to know about it.

    11. JR

      (sighs) I'm watching this trial like it's a cautionary tale. It's a cautionary tale about believing in bullshit, c- like forming a narrative in your head like, "We're rebels together. We're gonna-"

    12. JK

      Yeah.

    13. JR

      You know? It's- that's what I felt like about Anthony Bourdain and his relationship too, that crazy woman.

    14. JK

      Mm-hmm.

    15. JR

      But i- and then you're seeing it all play out in court. Like you're seeing all the crazy come out. You know? Do you know the fact, like he- he talked about her shitting in his bed?

    16. JK

      Yeah.

    17. JR

      Yeah, it was great.

    18. JK

      So hot.

    19. JR

      It's- do you think?

    20. JK

      No. (laughs)

    21. JR

      No. No, right? It's a real- a real problem. (laughs)

    22. JK

      Don't-

    23. JR

      Hard to forget.

    24. JK

      It's a real problem.

    25. JR

      (laughs) That's hard to forget. But-

    26. JK

      (snorts)

    27. JR

      ... she said that she used this specific makeup to cover all of her bruises that Johnny gave her, which is not true. And, uh-

    28. JK

      Specific makeup.

    29. JR

      And that speci- well, the problem is it was a specific makeup and it turns out that the company didn't even make that makeup at the time that she was claiming she was using it.

    30. JK

      Oh, wow. That's cra- really?

  2. 4:069:46

    “Fecal delivery” and the viral-news absurdity of modern media

    1. JK

      Oh, well, there's a lot of mental issues. And you said she shit in his bed. See, I haven't been following-

    2. JR

      I didn't say that. They said that.

    3. NA

      Mm-hmm.

    4. JK

      Who's they?

    5. JR

      The people on the news. (laughs)

    6. JK

      (laughs)

    7. JR

      I think th- (laughs)

    8. JK

      Well, they're always right.

    9. JR

      Th- uh, that's what I found out the last year.

    10. JK

      So... (laughs) Okay, so they said that she shit in his bed. For what reason? To mark territory?

    11. JR

      Jimmy, what happened here? Johnny Depp testified that Amber Heard ate a Cheesy Gordita Crunch from Taco Bell-

    12. JK

      (laughs)

    13. JR

      ... before the... That might be- that might not be-

    14. JK

      Breaking news.

    15. NA

      Yeah.

    16. JR

      ... that might be fake.

    17. JK

      (laughs)

    18. NA

      Let me see.

    19. JK

      Okay, let's see. (laughs)

    20. JR

      That might be fake news.

    21. NA

      Uh...

    22. JR

      We're gonna find out whether or not Amber Heard shit in the bed next on the Joe Rogan Experience.

    23. JK

      (laughs) Dun, dun, dun, dun.

    24. NA

      Let's see this. Well, I'm trying to... Uh, yeah. Okay, here's Newsweek.

    25. JR

      Okay, clips of Johnny Depp accusing-

    26. JK

      Uh, yeah.

    27. JR

      ... Amber Heard of defecating in bed go viral. Th- imagine, what a slow week for news.

    28. JK

      (laughs)

    29. JR

      That N- Newsweek is like, "Fuck Syria, forget about the Ukraine. Let's- let's find out about pooping."

    30. JK

      There's children's hospitals being blown up in Ukraine, but let's find out if she shit in his bed.

    From Depp to drugs: cocaine, cutting agents, and Joe’s anti-coke origin story

    1. JR

      She probably did Ex- uh, um, Ex-Lax, like, cut ecstasy. Like, ecstasy that's cut with Ex-Lax.

    2. JK

      (laughs)

    3. JR

      You know they do that.

    4. JK

      With Ex-Lax?

    5. JR

      Yes. They cut, uh, cocaine. They cut cocaine with Ex-Lax. Yeah.

    6. JK

      Are you kidding me?

    7. JR

      No, not at all.

    8. JK

      'Cause cocaine is already Ex-Lax.

    9. JR

      They, no, they definitely do. They do it because, uh-

    10. JK

      Why?

    11. JR

      ... 'cause they're dirty people that are just trying to make money off you, right? Like the drug dealers.

    12. JK

      That's horrible 'cause cocaine made me shit like a motherfucker.

    13. JR

      Did it?

    14. JK

      Uh, uh, the second I did cocaine, I shit my brains out.

    15. JR

      Really?

    16. JK

      Yes.

    17. JR

      It's like coffee then.

    18. JK

      Yeah, it's ve- ... You, you never did cocaine?

    19. JR

      No, I've never done cocaine.

    20. JK

      (gasps) I didn't know that. That's incredible that you've never done cocaine. It made me go right away. It made me anxious, so I went immediately.

    21. JR

      When I was in high school-

    22. JK

      Yeah.

    23. JR

      ... one of my good friends had a cousin that was selling coke.

    24. JK

      Yeah.

    25. JR

      And I saw him lose his, like literally lose his life. He's still alive.

    26. JK

      Yeah.

    27. JR

      But I mean, everything fell apart. He lost all this weight. He was just hiding in ... They had an attic apartment. They were in this attic apartment all day, and all they doing was doing coke-

    28. JK

      Mm-hmm.

    29. JR

      ... selling coke and watching TV. And I was like, "Whoa."

    30. JK

      Yeah, it's bad. Uh, I had a very hard time on that. I got very paranoid. (whoosh) I looked out of a peephole for six hours at a time.

    Studio snacks to brain stacks: the free vending machine and nootropics talk

    1. JK

      Sp- I don't know. You just made me think of food for some reason.

    2. JR

      Shh.

    3. JK

      You have an amazing (laughs) vending machine here.

    4. JR

      It's not bad, right?

    5. JK

      (laughs) I don't know. I was just talking about branding assholes-

    6. JR

      It's free.

    7. JK

      ... and I thought of your vending machine. (laughs)

    8. JR

      It's good. It's healthy stuff.

    9. JK

      It's incre- I just got-

    10. JR

      And it's free.

    11. JK

      ... 700 things from It's Empty.

    12. JR

      Yeah.

    13. JK

      I'm Jewish.

    14. JR

      That's okay.

    15. JK

      I literally pressed every button on it.

    16. JR

      L- we can have-

    17. JK

      My bag is full.

    18. JR

      ... cases sent to you. I'll have cases-

    19. JK

      Thank you.

    20. JR

      ... of stuff sent to you. You don't have to steal.

    21. JK

      I want everyone to know. Has anyone talked about your vending machine?

    22. JR

      I don't think so.

    23. JK

      Pe- I think your- people here were like, "Oh, boy, I took a lot out of it."

    24. JR

      (laughs) Did you eat the protein bites?

    25. JK

      Yes.

    26. JR

      Those are the best.

    27. JK

      I-

    28. JR

      The coconut ones with dark chocolate. Ooh.

    29. JK

      I took that one.

    30. JR

      Those are good.

    Jessica Kirson on sobriety: pills, Ambien blackouts, relapse cycles, and COVID stress

    1. JK

      I'm very... I'm, I'm, I can focus when I'm in a conversation, but I'm really... My brain is real... I've done a lot of drugs in my life, Joe.

    2. JR

      When did you stop?

    3. JK

      Um, at this point, uh, oh, uh, like a year and seven months ago.

    4. JR

      Nothing now?

    5. JK

      Nothing.

    6. JR

      No coffee?

    7. JK

      I can't.

    8. JR

      No cigarettes?

    9. JK

      Oh, no, I do coffee.

    10. JR

      Co- oh, that's right.

    11. JK

      A ton of coffee.

    12. JR

      You got coffee.

    13. JK

      But-

    14. JR

      No cigarettes?

    15. JK

      No. No. I, I, I can do a little bit of drugs. I-

    16. JR

      Did you ever smoke cigarettes?

    17. JK

      ... I'm an animal. Yes.

    18. JR

      You did?

    19. JK

      A lot.

    20. JR

      What was harder to kick, drugs or cigarettes?

    21. JK

      Cigarettes was fucking hard.

    22. JR

      Really?

    23. JK

      Um, it was very hard for me to stop smoking cigarettes when I stopped. Like, I sobbed.

    24. JR

      Really?

    25. JK

      It's very en- it's an oral thing. It's like a... It was such a habit.

    26. JR

      Yeah.

    27. JK

      But I'd say s- like, quitting s- quitting smoke... Uh, quitting drugs was really tough. But I've, I've... You know, it's not like I quit once and stopped. Like, it wasn't... I, I've relapsed-

    28. JR

      Right.

    29. JK

      ... at certain points, so it's not-

    30. JR

      What was your favorite drug?

  6. 29:2133:21

    Pratfalls, pain, and comedy obsession: Chevy Chase, Farley, and “going hard for laughs”

    1. JR

      You know, the falling down thing-

    2. JK

      Yeah.

    3. JR

      ... I always, uh, I have this theory about Chevy Chase.

    4. JK

      Yeah.

    5. JR

      'Cause, like, everybody hates Chevy Chase. He's supposed to be an asshole-

    6. JK

      W- I know.

    7. JR

      ... and real ag-

    8. JK

      I hear that a lot.

    9. JR

      I think he's in pain all the time.

    10. JK

      Really?

    11. JR

      Yeah. Uh, yeah, I do, and I think he probably gave himself brain damage. If you watch all of those old SNLs-

    12. JK

      Mm-hmm.

    13. JR

      ... and you watch a- all the Fletch movies-

    14. JK

      Mm-hmm.

    15. JR

      ... how many times did that guy fall down? Like, all those pratfalls?

    16. JK

      Oh, yeah.

    17. JR

      Those are bad. Like, some of 'em are really bad.

    18. JK

      Look at him. (laughs)

    19. JR

      Like, like, no bullshit. Like, the-

    20. JK

      You're right.

    21. JR

      ... guy fell constantly.

    22. JK

      Oh, my God.

    23. JR

      Look, I mean, there's a whole thing... Like-

    24. JK

      (laughs)

    25. JR

      ... dude, let me tell you something. If you do this over and over and over again, you're gonna get hurt. There's no doubt about it.

    26. JK

      You know, you're right.

    27. JR

      And he's not, like, an athlete, right? So he's falling. He's just trying to make it the most spectacular fall. Look, look how he's falling. Look how he fell off the fucking stairs like that. Watch this. That is bad.And dude, this happened fucking hundreds of times. He did this on stage, on television, in movies. I mean, th- you're not, he's not faking these falls. I mean, he's trying to protect himself a little bit from falling down, but he's fucking falling and he's falling a lot. And so, when you do this, and you do this dozens of times, 100 times, who knows?

    28. JK

      (laughs)

    29. JR

      I guarantee you he got injured. I guarantee you his back's fucked up and most likely his head's fucked up.

    30. JK

      You know, you're not lying at all because you... When you're like that, like me, you're gonna do whatever you have to do to get a laugh-

  7. 33:2144:23

    Sex slang debates to teen culture: bases, porn influence, and “scientists studying anal”

    1. JK

      What's that new shit about Bill Murray, that he... Did he just hit on someone or something?

    2. JR

      I do not know what he did.

    3. JK

      (laughs) I don't either.

    4. JR

      I know I saw the thing that they shut down production. And the fucked up thing is, it's like a Aziz's movie, so Aziz is making-

    5. JK

      I know.

    6. JR

      So Aziz is like, "Yikes!"

    7. JK

      (laughs)

    8. JR

      "Shut the movie down." (laughs) I mean, Aziz went down for a consensual sexual encounter with a girl who felt like he was too pushy.

    9. JK

      Right. It was something about... Wasn't it about eating someone out? (laughs) I love saying that.

    10. JR

      He ate her out, she blew him-

    11. JK

      But eat- eating out.

    12. JR

      ... and then he wanted to keep going.

    13. JK

      Do you know how old of a term that is?

    14. JR

      Eating out?

    15. JK

      I love saying eating out because that's from, like, when I was younger.

    16. JR

      Is there a new term?

    17. JK

      Did you eat her out? Yeah, going down on, isn't it like-

    18. JR

      Going down has been forever.

    19. JK

      I love going to third. Third now is-

    20. JR

      (laughs) Third is fingering, isn't it?

    21. JK

      No.

    22. JR

      You don't go to third with your face.

    23. JK

      No, I think it... No, third is-

    24. JR

      You slide in face first.

    25. JK

      No, wait a second. This is gonna... People are gonna talk about this from the podcast.

    26. JR

      Second is breasts.

    27. JK

      Yeah, third is-

    28. JR

      First is making out, kissing.

    29. JK

      Third is eating out, isn't it?

    30. JR

      No.

    Weight loss, food addiction, and fat activism: “it wasn’t okay how fat I was”

    1. JK

      Do you do cheeses and stuff?

    2. JR

      Yeah, I like cheese.

    3. JK

      'Cause I eat very healthy. I mean, I've lost a shitload of weight.

    4. JR

      Yeah, you look great.

    5. JK

      Thank you.

    6. JR

      How much have you lost since I first met you?

    7. JK

      Oh, my God. I mean, I've lost, altogether, you're not gonna believe this, but about 150 pounds.

    8. JR

      That's incredible.

    9. JK

      It's incredible. But I-

    10. JR

      I believe it.

    11. JK

      ... I eat like the way you eat, but I don't eat sugar and white flour and s- but I eat, like, brown rice or sweet potato a little bit. Not a ton.

    12. JR

      Do you know Laura Bites?

    13. JK

      Yes.

    14. JR

      Laura looks fucking amazing.

    15. JK

      I know.

    16. JR

      And she, when I met her, she was big.

    17. JK

      Mm-hmm.

    18. JR

      And, and she dec- decided over COVID, she's like, "Hey, I realize, like, fucking fat people are dying of this shit."

    19. JK

      That's what I-

    20. JR

      That's like what she said.

    21. JK

      ... yeah, me too. Yeah.

    22. JR

      Like, "I'm gonna lose weight."

    23. JK

      Yeah.

    24. JR

      And so she got super dedicated, but she's so brave. Like, she posts photos of herself, like, before and after and puts it on Instagram. Like, sh-

    25. JK

      Mm-hmm.

    26. JR

      ... shows, like, her at her worst and shows how she looks now, you know?

    27. JK

      Yeah.

    28. JR

      And she, she fucking, she just wants to let everybody know, "Hey, I did it. You can do it too."

    29. JK

      Mm-hmm.

    30. JR

      "It's totally possible. I never thought like that. I never thought I was ever gonna be lean."

      (laughs)

    4. JR

      (laughs)

    5. JK

      I should've gotten help. Someone should've-

    6. NA

      (laughs)

    7. JR

      (laughs)

    8. JK

      Someone should've gotten a net-

    9. NA

      (laughs)

    10. JK

      ... and fucking-

    11. NA

      Yeah.

    12. JK

      ... put me in a cage and helped me.

    13. NA

      (laughs)

    14. JK

      So... (laughs)

    15. JR

      So...

    16. NA

      (laughs) But there's a movement now.

    17. JK

      Well, I needed to move. I needed a lot of movement. (laughs)

    18. JR

      Yeah. Oh, that's great.

    19. JK

      I mean... (laughs)

    20. JR

      I'm in a group chat and someone, uh, sent me this, th- one of the people in the chat sent me this thing about Lizzo's new show.

    21. JK

      That's what we talked about.

    22. JR

      Oh, okay. Li- Lizz-

    23. JK

      What did your- (laughs)

    24. JR

      'Cause, like, there's this, like, transgender, uh, person on Lizzo's show and they're all, like, together. They're, they're, they're big girls and that, like, they're doing exercise together and they're, like, 10, 15 seconds in, they're having fucking heart attacks.

    25. JK

      That's what we talked about. (laughs)

    26. JR

      You guys talk about Zoom?

    27. JK

      That's exactly what we talked... He said, "What if someone had a heart attack?"

    28. JR

      Right. Yeah, it's possible. It's, like, legitimately possible.

    29. JK

      Yeah.

    30. JR

      Like, this idea that that's okay and that's good, that, that's, that's as insane as drunk activists. That it's as insane as someone who's just shit-faced 24 hours a day-

    Predators swallowing prey whole: rats, rabbits, pythons, Komodo dragons, and “Team Mammal”

    1. JR

      There's a video, I think it's in Italy, a seagull swallows a rat whole.

    2. JK

      (gasps)

    3. JR

      And it's not a small rat.

    4. JK

      Oh, my God.

    5. JR

      It just picks this thing up, throws its head back, opens up his mouth, and just choke. Watch this. Here it is.

    6. JK

      Oh, no.

    7. JR

      Watch this. Look at this.

    8. JK

      Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

    9. JR

      Birds don't give a fuck. They don't give a fuck. Watch this again. Look how he picks that right up.

    10. JK

      Oh, my God.

    11. JR

      He just swallows the whole thing up. He found a dead rat laying on the street, probably poisoned, and he just swallowed the whole thing. You know, that's a, a real issue with, uh, raptors.

    12. JK

      (gasps)

    13. JR

      What is that one?

    14. NA

      Says he's eaten a starfish whole.

    15. JR

      A starfish?

    16. NA

      There's a few things.

    17. JK

      Holy shit.

    18. NA

      I've seen one that eats a pigeon whole, too. I didn't click on it, but-

    19. JR

      Yeah, I've seen the pigeon.

    20. JK

      But I have a question for you.

    21. JR

      Yeah?

    22. JK

      How does it... How does that decompose in that thing's body, in the bird's body? I'm curious.

    23. JR

      Not good. It's... The bird's gonna die if that rat's poisoned-

    24. JK

      Wow.

    25. JR

      ... 'cause then the poison that's in the rat is now in the bird, and it'll eventually go through its digestive tract and into the bloodstream. That's how they... N- There's an issue with owls in the hills.

    26. JK

      Yeah.

    27. JR

      Um, because a lot of people are poisoning rats. So they leave rat poison out.

    28. JK

      Oh, right.

    29. JR

      And then the rats, the rats get picked off by the owls, and then the owls wind up dying of poison.

    30. JK

      Oh.

    City decline and political theater: California/NYC crime, de Blasio’s arts video, and tribal politics

    1. JR

      But I do know, for me, it tastes better. I like it. It feels better, like, when I eat, when I drink raw milk. And I, I rarely drink raw milk. There was a pro-... People were getting arrested for selling raw milk in California for a while. I don't know.

    2. JK

      Arrested?

    3. JR

      Yeah, I don't know what, what was going on with that. There was, like, arrests and everybody was, like, outraged. Like, how absurd it was that you're arresting people for selling raw milk. Yeah.

    4. JK

      That sounds really crazy.

    5. JR

      Mm-hmm. California's fucking crazy.

    6. JK

      Well, a lot of places are crazy now, yeah.

    7. JR

      California is off the charts right now. They're so crazy.

    8. JK

      I know.

    9. JR

      It's so crazy. It's such a mess.

    10. JK

      I know.

    11. JR

      It's s- just a big homeless encampment.

    12. JK

      It's a what?

    13. JR

      It's a big homeless encampment. I think LA's get... They're gonna abandon LA, just run out, and it's just gonna be filled with tents in 50 years. When you go back to LA you won't even be able to drive 'cause you'll get, run over all the needles. So you're just gonna have to park your car outside and you wear a hazmat suit.

    14. JK

      (laughs) It's like backing up when you go through a, a rental car place.

    15. JR

      Yeah, you wear, like, a bulletproof hazmat suit, and that's gonna be how you journey through LA. And you're just gonna watch people kill each other and, you know...

    16. NA

      You can't sell raw milk across state lines in the United States.

    17. JR

      Mm. Okay.

    18. JK

      Wow.

    19. JR

      States may adopt their own laws but I think it's, uh, California. There was a California l... I know I used to buy it at a local health food store, and then something happ... Oh, here it is.

    20. NA

      Something happened, yes.

    21. JR

      Following armed raids in 2010 and two arrests in 2011, the founder of the Rawesome Co-op, James Stewart, was again arrested last Thursday by a trio of tough-looking men in street clothes, driving unmarked luxury cars. So imagine armed raids for a guy who's selling milk, 'cause he's selling raw milk.

    22. JK

      I don't know what's going on anywhere.

    23. JR

      (sighs) Well, you do.

    24. JK

      I mean, New York is bad too.

    25. JR

      Oh, for crime?

    26. JK

      I'm not talking about the homeless thing. Yeah, it's really bad for crime.

    27. JR

      Crime's bad, well, when you don't arrest people.

    28. JK

      I know.

    29. JR

      And when you, when they arrest them-

    30. JK

      It's really bad.
