    Cold open and jumping into the Depp–Heard trial as a cautionary tale

    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. 4:207:12

    “Fecal delivery”: the bed-pooping story and why the internet is obsessed

    1. JK

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

    2. JR

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

    3. JK

      (laughs)

    4. JR

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

    5. JK

      Breaking news.

    6. NA

      Yeah.

    7. JR

      ... that might be fake.

    8. JK

      (laughs)

    9. NA

      Let me see.

    10. JK

      Okay, let's see. (laughs)

    11. JR

      That might be fake news.

    12. NA

      Uh...

    13. JR

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

    14. JK

      (laughs) Dun, dun, dun, dun.

    15. NA

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

    16. JR

      Okay, clips of Johnny Depp accusing-

    17. JK

      Uh, yeah.

    18. JR

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

    19. JK

      (laughs)

    20. JR

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

    21. JK

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

    22. JR

      Yeah. Look at it. "M- On my side of the bed was human fecal matter." (laughs)

    23. JK

      (laughs)

    24. JR

      Let me hear how he says it.

    25. NA

      It wasn't a good time... ... human fecal matter.

    26. JK

      Jesus Christ.

    27. NA

      Um, so I understood why it wasn't a good time to go down there. She was sitting on one side of the couch. I was sitting on the other. Sh- that's when sh- she was trying to explain a few things about, uh, Coachella and then the fe- fecal, uh, delivery, um, and say- saying that it was the dogs, and I- I could... I'm sorry, I could not agree with her. I've lived with those dogs. I've picked up their fun. It was not-

    28. The dogs. (laughing)

    29. JR

      (laughs) Look at his face. First of all, he's ... This is a big win for Johnny Depp.

    30. JK

      (laughs)

  3. 7:129:46

    Prenups, power imbalance, and the darker details of the relationship

    1. JR

      Through all of this. But this is, like, what, what can happen to a guy like that, if you get caught up in that romantic idea that, "This is my woman." And he didn't even sign a prenup.

    2. JK

      (laughs)

    3. JR

      He was worth like $300 million.

    4. JK

      Oh my God.

    5. JR

      And he didn't sign a prenup.

    6. JK

      (laughs) What an idiot. You know what? Then he, like ... (laughs)

    7. JR

      Well, uh, Amber, uh, insisted we were in love.

    8. JK

      (laughs)

    9. JR

      We wouldn't need a prenup.

    10. NA

      And like, I didn't expect her to take a fucking shit in my bed.

    11. JR

      (imitates wind blowing) How long were they even married for?

    12. JK

      I don't know, 11 days.

    13. NA

      My question, I just ... They're in Virginia, in Fairfax, Virginia?

    14. JR

      That's where the court is?

    15. NA

      Yeah.

    16. JR

      I wonder if it's, like, favorable for plaintiffs there, you know, because it's a civil ... The l- it's a civil case, where he's suing her for $50 million. It's like a defamation case. The thing is, is like-

    17. NA

      (laughs)

    18. JR

      ... there was a video that, or an audio recording that came out, where she was admitting to hitting him. She was admit ... Like, she changed this narrative, and, uh, the way she was talking about it publicly is that he was abusive, and that sh- you know, she was just his victim and she tried to protect him by not telling anybody. And then there's ... I think that's roughly it. And then there was this audio recording, that he had secretly recorded, where she's talking about hitting him, and he said, "You punched me."

    19. NA

      (laughs)

    20. JR

      And he said, uh, "I didn't punch you. I hit you," and then he was like-

    21. NA

      "I didn't punch you. I hit you."

    22. JR

      Yeah, that's a good voice. That's a good voice.

    23. NA

      "No, you punched me."

    24. JR

      (laughs)

    25. NA

      "No, I didn't. I didn't punch you." "Yeah, you did."

    26. JR

      (laughs)

    27. NA

      "No, I didn't."

    28. JR

      (laughs)

    29. NA

      "Yeah, you d- you totally punched me."

    30. JR

      "You totally punched me."

  4. 9:4620:46

    From celebrity scandal to cocaine talk: cutting drugs, laxatives, and personal experiences

    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.

  5. 20:4626:27

    Jessica’s sobriety story: 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. 26:2729:21

    Being “silly” sober: industry parties, crashing into props, and weaponizing chaos for laughs

    1. JK

      I'm not like that at all. I'm so silly. Like, at the b- at the, um... (laughs) At the Moon Tower industry party the other night, I fell over on a s- it's on my Instagram page.

    2. JR

      I saw that. I saw it. (laughs)

    3. JK

      I f- yeah, I, I fall into things all the time. (laughs)

    4. JR

      (laughs)

    5. JK

      I crash into tables and chairs, like, at uptight parties. I'm out of my mind. I'm like a fucking four-year-old.

    6. JR

      How come every industry party has to have a large-

    7. JK

      (laughs)

    8. JR

      ... placard?

    9. JK

      (laughs)

    10. JR

      Like, there has to be some wall with logos on it.

    11. JK

      No one even takes pictures in front of them, and if you do-

    12. JR

      But I don't understand. But, and you can't just have-

    13. JK

      I don't know.

    14. JR

      ... a party. You have to have that wall, right?

    15. JK

      It's so stupid. It's w- no one even address- well, peop- some people do, I guess. It's- I hate everyone so much. (laughs)

    16. JR

      (laughs) But what a weird thing that people have, like that one big wall-

    17. JK

      (laughs)

    18. JR

      ... where someone's supposed to stand in front of and take photos.

    19. JK

      I know. I mean, it's s- the world's ending. (laughs) So everyone-

    20. JR

      (laughs) That's the only time it exists, that kinda thing.

    21. JK

      They got so mad at me too, the people that put it up. They're like-

    22. JR

      For falling?

    23. JK

      Well, I did it on purpose.

    24. JR

      Oh, you did? Oh.

    25. JK

      Of course.

    26. JR

      (laughs)

    27. JK

      I grabbed onto it and dragged it off. (laughs) Wait.

    28. JR

      Let's play.

    29. JK

      (laughs) No, everyone-

    30. JR

      You did it on purpose?

  7. 29:2133:21

    Pratfalls and pain: the Chevy Chase theory and the cost of physical comedy

    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-

  8. 33:2144:25

    Sex terms, teen behavior, and the weirdness of modern research

    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.

  9. 44:251:12:22

    Weight loss, fat activism, and food addiction as slow self-harm

    1. JK

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

    2. JR

      Yeah, you look great.

    3. JK

      Thank you.

    4. JR

      How much have you lost since I first met you?

    5. JK

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

    6. JR

      That's incredible.

    7. JK

      It's incredible. But I-

    8. JR

      I believe it.

    9. 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.

    10. JR

      Do you know Laura Bites?

    11. JK

      Yes.

    12. JR

      Laura looks fucking amazing.

    13. JK

      I know.

    14. JR

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

    15. JK

      Mm-hmm.

    16. JR

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

    17. JK

      That's what I-

    18. JR

      That's like what she said.

    19. JK

      ... yeah, me too. Yeah.

    20. JR

      Like, "I'm gonna lose weight."

    21. JK

      Yeah.

    22. 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-

    23. JK

      Mm-hmm.

    24. JR

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

    25. JK

      Yeah.

    26. JR

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

    27. JK

      Mm-hmm.

    28. JR

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

    29. JK

      Mm-hmm.

    30. JR

      And now she looks fucking great.

    Predators and invasive species: rats, poisoned raptors, Everglades pythons, and hatred of reptiles

    1. JR

      You ever see a seagull swallow a rat?

    2. JK

      No. (sighs)

    3. JR

      Jamie? Jamie?

    4. JK

      I might die if I see this, but...

    5. JR

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

    6. JK

      (gasps)

    7. JR

      And it's not a small rat.

    8. JK

      Oh, my God.

    9. JR

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

    10. JK

      Oh, no.

    11. JR

      Watch this. Look at this.

    12. JK

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

    13. JR

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

    14. JK

      Oh, my God.

    15. 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.

    16. JK

      (gasps)

    17. JR

      What is that one?

    18. NA

      Says he's eaten a starfish whole.

    19. JR

      A starfish?

    20. NA

      There's a few things.

    21. JK

      Holy shit.

    22. NA

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

    23. JR

      Yeah, I've seen the pigeon.

    24. JK

      But I have a question for you.

    25. JR

      Yeah?

    26. JK

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

    27. JR

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

    28. JK

      Wow.

    29. 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.

    30. JK

      Yeah.

    Cities, crime, and politics: NYC decline, tribal partisanship, cancel culture, and Elon buying Twitter

    1. JR

      (sighs) Well, you do.

    2. JK

      I mean, New York is bad too.

    3. JR

      Oh, for crime?

    4. JK

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

    5. JR

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

    6. JK

      I know.

    7. JR

      And when you, when they arrest them-

    8. JK

      It's really bad.

    9. JR

      ... and then run them right back out.

    10. JK

      I know.

    11. JR

      Yeah.

    12. JK

      I mean, i- i- it's gotten so crazy. Like, I'm g... I'm the kind of person where I say it's, it's not good. I did it last night in Austin, where if I think someone's being bullied or things are happening, I speak out. It's not a good thing to do, especially 'cause I'm a woman. I mean, I'm being honest. Like, I'll be like, "You know, what are you doing?" Like, I get involved and I-

    13. JR

      Did you see somebody on the street who was suffering?

    14. JK

      Yeah, and I stick up for people. It's not good. I did it last night with a, a little, a guy that was riding the bike. He was torturing this drunk guy on the street. He kept riding into him.

    15. JR

      Oh, Jesus.

    16. JK

      And I st... I stuck up for the guy. I shouldn't get involved. It's stupid.

    17. JR

      Did the guy get angry at you?

    18. JK

      Uh, yeah. He's like, "Get the fuck out of my room." I'm like, "What are you doing?" You know, I got involved.

    19. JR

      Oof.

    20. JK

      And I'm a woman. But it's crazy, but I can't not say anything.

    21. JR

      So th... It's crazy for guys too, but I, I know what you're saying.

    22. JK

      I know. I'm such a true-

    23. JR

      You could-

    24. JK

      I can't... Uh. So, but in New York I wouldn't dare do that-

    25. JR

      Really?

    26. JK

      ... 'cause I'm gonna get shot. Yeah, it's bad there.

    27. JR

      Uh, i... So, noticeably different?

    28. JK

      Mm-hmm.

    29. JR

      How, when did it shift?

    30. JK

      Um, I'd say during COVID.
