   2. BSBrendan Schaub0:12

      It's tough to keep up that NFT shit. Yeah. I bet Jai-

   3. JRJoe Rogan0:16

      Are we up?

   4. BSBrendan Schaub0:17

      I bet Jamie's into it.

   5. JRJoe Rogan0:18

      We're up and running.

   6. BSBrendan Schaub0:18

      Jamie's into it.

   7. JRJoe Rogan0:20

      Jamie, uh, is aware, but you're not investing. You've got like a few weird ones.

   8. BSBrendan Schaub0:25

      Mm-hmm.

   9. JRJoe Rogan0:26

      You got more?

   10. NANarrator0:27

       I have one of the big ones.

   11. JRJoe Rogan0:29

       What you got?

   12. NANarrator0:30

       I have a mutant ape.

   13. JRJoe Rogan0:33

       (laughs)

   14. BSBrendan Schaub0:33

       (laughs)

   15. NANarrator0:33

       Not the biggest.

   16. JRJoe Rogan0:34

       Like he says-

   17. NANarrator0:34

       I'm not gonna lie, I'm not gonna, like, put out there it's the biggest, but.

   18. JRJoe Rogan0:36

       ... one of the big ones. Okay, how is that a big one? Oh, by the way, this vodka, or excuse me, this whiskey you have, this, uh, tig- what is it?

   19. BSBrendan Schaub0:44

       Tiger Thick.

   20. JRJoe Rogan0:45

       Tiger Thick. It's very good.

   21. BSBrendan Schaub0:47

       Thank you, brother.

   22. JRJoe Rogan0:47

       I was surprised.

   23. BSBrendan Schaub0:48

       Thank you.

   24. JRJoe Rogan0:48

       I was ready for some bullshit last night.

   25. NANarrator0:50

       (laughs)

   26. BSBrendan Schaub0:50

       (laughs)

   27. JRJoe Rogan0:50

       When you busted it out, I was like... Because I got offered... There was a thing that was going on with me. Salud, brother.

   28. BSBrendan Schaub0:57

       Cheers, brother.

   29. JRJoe Rogan0:58

       Very good to see you.

   30. BSBrendan Schaub0:58

       Love you, man.
2. 1:59 – 4:12

   Wine snobs, tasting jargon, and the ‘Sour Grapes’ counterfeit scandal

   1. JRJoe Rogan1:59

      Uh, did I ever tell you the time I went on a fucking wine tasting dinner with my, uh, my friend Matt?

   2. BSBrendan Schaub2:03

      No.

   3. JRJoe Rogan2:04

      My friend Matt's a, like, a legit wine connoisseur. So much so that he w- he had a birthday, and on his, on his birthday, he had this wine tasting dinner, and you would get like a flight of wines with each plate. So it was like a fancy restaurant, so they bring like a little tiny little piece of something.

   4. BSBrendan Schaub2:21

      Mm-hmm. I've done, like, Napa.

   5. JRJoe Rogan2:22

      Yeah.

   6. BSBrendan Schaub2:22

      You're trying to-

   7. JRJoe Rogan2:23

      It's not my thing, man.

   8. BSBrendan Schaub2:25

      I can't believe you went to that.

   9. JRJoe Rogan2:25

      It's not my thing. Yeah, my friend, it was his birthday.

   10. BSBrendan Schaub2:28

       Yeah.

   11. JRJoe Rogan2:28

       I love him to death. So anyway, I wind up, uh, meeting this guy there, and then years later, I'm watching this documentary about this guy that ripped off all these wine connoisseurs by taking cheap wine and blending it up and putting it in fake old bottles, and that was the guy I met at the fucking wine party.

   12. BSBrendan Schaub2:49

       Was it really?

   13. JRJoe Rogan2:50

       Yes.

   14. BSBrendan Schaub2:50

       Yeah, and they were, and they were, they couldn't tell the difference. They're saying the same shit with the cheap wine-

   15. JRJoe Rogan2:54

       Exactly.

   16. BSBrendan Schaub2:54

       ... and the fancy wine.

   17. JRJoe Rogan2:55

       The way this guy fucked up is... It's g- the movie's called Sour Grapes, and the way the guy fucked up is he ripped off one of the Koch brothers.

   18. BSBrendan Schaub3:02

       Mm.

   19. JRJoe Rogan3:03

       Which is, like, (laughs) not a smart move.

   20. BSBrendan Schaub3:05

       Bro. Yeah.

   21. JRJoe Rogan3:05

       Those guys got some-

   22. BSBrendan Schaub3:06

       They have all the money in the world.

   23. JRJoe Rogan3:06

       They got some capital.

   24. BSBrendan Schaub3:07

       Yeah, yeah.

   25. JRJoe Rogan3:08

       And they know how to move, and-

   26. BSBrendan Schaub3:10

       Yeah.

   27. JRJoe Rogan3:11

       ... he, this guy had bought like, I think it was like more than $1 million worth of fake wine from them.

   28. BSBrendan Schaub3:15

       (laughs) Hilarious.

   29. JRJoe Rogan3:16

       Yeah.

   30. BSBrendan Schaub3:16

       Brian's, Brian Callan's the same way. He loves wine.
3. 4:12 – 5:44

   From never drinking to pandemic whiskey nights: Yellowstone-fueled cowboy cosplay

   1. BSBrendan Schaub4:12

      But to say... This is funny with the whiskey. It's crazy I have my own whiskey now. I didn't drink my entire life, dude. Being an athlete, doing... Never. Nothing. Drugs, didn't touch it. College football, didn't, didn't fucking touch it. And then, uh, (laughs) I don't know if you remember this. I was getting ready to do a set-

   2. JRJoe Rogan4:29

      (laughs)

   3. BSBrendan Schaub4:29

      ... at the Comedy Store.

   4. JRJoe Rogan4:30

      I remember.

   5. BSBrendan Schaub4:30

      And I was so nervous, and we're... I was in the back bar, and you come in, "What are you doing?" I was like, "I'm f-" You know, I got... I think I had to follow up with fucking Joey Diaz. I get like the worst, you know, uh, spot, and I was so nervous, and you're like, "D- dude, take a shot. You're putting too much pressure. Take five..." I'm like, "Dude, I don't drink." They're like, "Just take a shot." It was like Jack, you know, nothing great.

   6. JRJoe Rogan4:47

      Yeah.

   7. BSBrendan Schaub4:47

      And then I took it, and I was like, "All right, that's good. I, I enjoyed that." And I go out there, had a, like, my best set ever for me at the time. And then, you know, I believe in superstition, so then I was like, "I'm just gonna keep doing this." Next thing you know, you know, I got a bomb.

   8. JRJoe Rogan5:00

      (laughs)

   9. BSBrendan Schaub5:01

      (laughs) I get my own whiskey now. I drink every night. During the pandemic, I had a legit problem, 'cause I got so into Yellowstone.

   10. JRJoe Rogan5:07

       A lot of people did. Oh, yeah.

   11. BSBrendan Schaub5:08

       I got so... Dude, bro.

   12. JRJoe Rogan5:10

       I'm on season two.

   13. BSBrendan Schaub5:11

       Oh.

   14. JRJoe Rogan5:11

       I just got in.

   15. BSBrendan Schaub5:12

       Oh. Dude, and Rip, dude, I got so into it. Ev- dude, me and my girl, every night, would binge-watch that. I'd put on a cowboy hat.

   16. JRJoe Rogan5:21

       (laughs)

   17. BSBrendan Schaub5:21

       I would go through a bottle of whiskey a night.

   18. JRJoe Rogan5:25

       (laughs)

   19. BSBrendan Schaub5:26

       (laughs) I mean, dude.

   20. JRJoe Rogan5:28

       I'm surprised you didn't just start looking at land in Montana.

   21. BSBrendan Schaub5:30

       I did.

   22. JRJoe Rogan5:31

       (laughs)

   23. BSBrendan Schaub5:32

       And I... (laughs) And we go on vacation there now because of that show. It's funny-

   24. JRJoe Rogan5:36

       I wonder how many fucking people moved to Montana because of that show. It's not a small number.

   25. BSBrendan Schaub5:40

       And I bet people in Montana are like, "Goddamn it."

   26. JRJoe Rogan5:42

       Oh, 100%.

   27. BSBrendan Schaub5:43

       "You've ruined it. You've ruined it for us."

4. 5:44 – 7:36

   Montana pride, Coeur d’Alene gatekeeping, and why locals hate your travel recs

   1. JRJoe Rogan5:44

      Yeah, they're particularly, um, proud of Montana. Like, Montana people are particularly proud, and also, like, they claim Montana. "This is our state." I remember I went hunting there once, and this guy wrote on someone's car...... something, like, in the dirt of someone's car, like someone had, like, foreign plates. Foreign meaning another state.

   2. BSBrendan Schaub6:05

      (laughs) Foreign. Yeah.

   3. JRJoe Rogan6:06

      And, uh, a guy wrote, you know, like, "Fuck off, from someone Montana born and raised."

   4. BSBrendan Schaub6:11

      All right, dude.

   5. JRJoe Rogan6:12

      Like, just because the guy had a plate.

   6. BSBrendan Schaub6:14

      Bro, I've never gotten so much hate. Uh, when I was, uh... Where was I? I was in Spokan- Spokane, but I stayed in Coeur d'Alene.

   7. JRJoe Rogan6:21

      Oh, you crossed the line.

   8. BSBrendan Schaub6:22

      Yeah.

   9. JRJoe Rogan6:23

      You went over to Idaho.

   10. BSBrendan Schaub6:24

       Went- went to Coeur d'Alene, which is like, you know, I don't know, an hour. And Coeur d'Alene, if you've ever been there, is gorgeous.

   11. JRJoe Rogan6:28

       Gorgeous.

   12. BSBrendan Schaub6:28

       Like the Kardashians have vacations out there.

   13. JRJoe Rogan6:29

       They didn't like it?

   14. BSBrendan Schaub6:30

       Dude, it's um, an amazing place. During the height of the pandemic, out there they didn't give a fuck. There was nothing, no masks, nothing.

   15. JRJoe Rogan6:39

       No, that's Idaho people.

   16. BSBrendan Schaub6:40

       Dude, they didn't give a fuck.

   17. JRJoe Rogan6:41

       Yeah.

   18. BSBrendan Schaub6:41

       But I go back on my show the following week and I was talking about Coeur d'Alene, how great it is. We've never got so many hate emails from people that live in Coeur d'Alene, like, "Hey, bitch, don't be telling everybody, man. We don't want-

   19. JRJoe Rogan6:53

       Oh.

   20. BSBrendan Schaub6:53

       ... all you guys here."

   21. JRJoe Rogan6:54

       Too late.

   22. BSBrendan Schaub6:55

       Like, li- li- like, "Leave the place like this."

   23. JRJoe Rogan6:57

       Talk about wrong reaction, 'cause now you're talking about it here.

   24. BSBrendan Schaub7:00

       Yeah.

   25. JRJoe Rogan7:00

       Now more people can hear.

   26. BSBrendan Schaub7:01

       Yeah, now I'm getting even more hate from Coeur d'Alene.

   27. JRJoe Rogan7:04

       Just don't read it.

   28. BSBrendan Schaub7:04

       But also be cool, Coeur d'Alene.

   29. JRJoe Rogan7:06

       Yeah.

   30. BSBrendan Schaub7:06

       You know what I'm saying? Be, be cool.
5. 7:36 – 10:54

   Ranch vacations, moose encounters, and the grim reality of bears

   1. BSBrendan Schaub7:36

      ... we go to like a dude ranch, we're riding horses.

   2. JRJoe Rogan7:38

      Wow.

   3. BSBrendan Schaub7:38

      My son's doing archery and shit.

   4. JRJoe Rogan7:40

      Oh.

   5. BSBrendan Schaub7:40

      I mean, biking every morning.

   6. JRJoe Rogan7:42

      Wow.

   7. BSBrendan Schaub7:42

      It's great.

   8. JRJoe Rogan7:43

      We went on a white water, uh, rafting trip in, uh, Montana. It was fucking fun.

   9. BSBrendan Schaub7:48

      It's the best.

   10. JRJoe Rogan7:49

       Yeah, like you're on this raft and it's like wild shit, man. You, you get into some wild waters and you gotta hang on. You're getting sprayed and you're, you're bouncing off these fucking rocks with these inner tubes.

   11. BSBrendan Schaub7:59

       And your kids are with you, so you're thinking-

   12. JRJoe Rogan8:01

       Yeah.

   13. BSBrendan Schaub8:01

       ... about that. I did the same thing with my kids.

   14. JRJoe Rogan8:02

       Yeah, everybody's like-

   15. BSBrendan Schaub8:03

       So stressed.

   16. JRJoe Rogan8:04

       ... wearing vests and everything like that, but I'm worried about bears more than anything. I worry about bears.

   17. BSBrendan Schaub8:08

       My thing was y- there's a ton of bears.

   18. JRJoe Rogan8:10

       And water.

   19. BSBrendan Schaub8:10

       There's grizzly bears, right?

   20. JRJoe Rogan8:11

       Yeah.

   21. BSBrendan Schaub8:12

       Yeah, up there. But the thing was, for us, they would come around on a... 'Cause you have your own... It's not like a hotel, you're in your own little cabin.

   22. JRJoe Rogan8:18

       Right.

   23. BSBrendan Schaub8:18

       And it's f- it's in the middle of nowhere, dude.

   24. JRJoe Rogan8:20

       Nowhere.

   25. BSBrendan Schaub8:21

       It... Dude, they knocked on the door like, "Okay, just wanna let you know there's a, a giant male moose on the property, okay? So just stay inside, but if you are gonna go out, just want you aware." I'm like, "The fuck? Male moose?" Dude, I... You hunt and shit, so maybe you've seen one. I've never seen one in person.

   26. JRJoe Rogan8:37

       Yeah, they're Jurassic.

   27. BSBrendan Schaub8:38

       So I called, I said, "Hey, this might be a weird request. My kids, they're dying to see it. Can we... Will you... Will someone pick us up and try and find this thing?" They're like, "Yeah, sure." They pick us up, so it's me and my two boys and my girl, and my father-in-law, and we're going around. And then the lights hit this fucking thing. Dude, it's i- ten foot tall from the fucking hoof to the horn.

   28. JRJoe Rogan8:58

       Yeah.

   29. BSBrendan Schaub8:59

       It was nuts, man.

   30. JRJoe Rogan9:00

       They're so big.
6. 10:54 – 17:57

   Yellowstone deeper cuts and a hard pivot to pop culture: The Batman breakdown

   1. BSBrendan Schaub10:54

      So you're only on season two though of Yellowstone?

   2. JRJoe Rogan10:56

      Yeah, only season two.

   3. BSBrendan Schaub10:57

      Oh, I'm, I'm s- I'm jealous, dude.

   4. JRJoe Rogan10:58

      Yeah, I just got into it.

   5. BSBrendan Schaub10:59

      'Cause then you get done with that, you got season three for-

   6. JRJoe Rogan11:01

      Mm-hmm.

   7. BSBrendan Schaub11:01

      ... which is lit as fuck.

   8. JRJoe Rogan11:02

      Yeah.

   9. BSBrendan Schaub11:02

      And then there's 1883, the prequel.

   10. JRJoe Rogan11:05

       Oh.

   11. BSBrendan Schaub11:05

       The pre-prequel.

   12. JRJoe Rogan11:07

       Right.

   13. BSBrendan Schaub11:07

       Same writer, Taylor Sheridan, who's the best.

   14. JRJoe Rogan11:09

       Yeah.

   15. BSBrendan Schaub11:09

       He's the fucking man. Puts himself way too much into the episodes, whatever.

   16. JRJoe Rogan11:13

       Which one is... Who was he?

   17. BSBrendan Schaub11:14

       He's the main like horse guy. He's the one selling the horses.

   18. JRJoe Rogan11:18

       Oh, really?

   19. BSBrendan Schaub11:18

       Yeah, he's always-

   20. JRJoe Rogan11:19

       Oh, interesting.

   21. BSBrendan Schaub11:19

       ... on the horse, yeah.

   22. JRJoe Rogan11:20

       Oh, interesting.

   23. BSBrendan Schaub11:21

       And he's like s- sometimes-

   24. JRJoe Rogan11:22

       I've seen him rode it too.

   25. BSBrendan Schaub11:23

       M- yeah. My only issue with that is sometimes it's too balls deep in the horse, which if you're like into that stuff, I bet people are like, "Oh, this is authentic."

   26. JRJoe Rogan11:31

       Mm-hmm.

   27. BSBrendan Schaub11:32

       But if you're not, it's like, "All right, dude. I..." The horse stopping like in the fucking sand and shit, you know.

   28. JRJoe Rogan11:37

       Mm-hmm.

   29. BSBrendan Schaub11:37

       And he's just so into it. But then that, that ranch-

   30. JRJoe Rogan11:40

       Those horses were nuts.
7. 17:57 – 20:00

   Johnny Depp vs. Amber Heard: ‘The Trial’ as cautionary tale and celebrity psychology

   1. BSBrendan Schaub17:57

      (laughs) I'll tell you what I am watching, is The Trial.

   2. JRJoe Rogan18:00

      The Trial.

   3. BSBrendan Schaub18:00

      I, dude, it's the best reality show of all time.

   4. JRJoe Rogan18:02

      I think I need to spark a joint up if we're gonna talk about The Trial.

   5. BSBrendan Schaub18:04

      Do it, bro.

   6. JRJoe Rogan18:05

      'Cause The Trial-

   7. BSBrendan Schaub18:05

      'Cause I can't get enough of it. It's literally-

   8. JRJoe Rogan18:07

      It's amazing.

   9. BSBrendan Schaub18:08

      It's fantastic.

   10. JRJoe Rogan18:09

       Mm-hmm.

   11. BSBrendan Schaub18:09

       It, it's the best thing on TV. At first I was upset 'cause, you know, I watch the news and they interrupted-... Ukraine getting bombed in the middle of a war with Russia, it's like, "Breaking news, Johnny Depp, Amber Heard." I'm like, "Oh, God, what are we doing here?" I was like, "Let's see what's happening," and I was like, "Oh, hell yes."

   12. JRJoe Rogan18:25

       It's exciting.

   13. BSBrendan Schaub18:26

       Sign me up, dude.

   14. JRJoe Rogan18:27

       It's, it's, uh, it's a cautionary tale for people that were thinking that it's worth it-

   15. BSBrendan Schaub18:32

       (laughs)

   16. JRJoe Rogan18:32

       ... to date a crazy girl 'cause she great in bed.

   17. BSBrendan Schaub18:34

       Du- no, this is my thing, though. How great is she in bed that she can shit in your bed, she can rip your fucking index finger off-

   18. JRJoe Rogan18:44

       Yeah.

   19. BSBrendan Schaub18:44

       ... and you s- y- She must, she must be a real tomcat in the sack, dude.

   20. JRJoe Rogan18:49

       I think he's probably a really nice guy, and he had great moments with her, and he keeps going back to those great moments and thinking they can get past all this craziness. 'Cause J- Johnny, I don't know Johnny well, I've talked to him before, but I know of his career and I know of his love of Hunter Thompson.

   21. BSBrendan Schaub19:09

       And he's close with, uh, uh-

   22. JRJoe Rogan19:11

       Stanhope.

   23. BSBrendan Schaub19:11

       ... Stanho- Stanhope, right?

   24. JRJoe Rogan19:12

       Yeah, very close.

   25. BSBrendan Schaub19:12

       Yeah.

   26. JRJoe Rogan19:12

       And that's how I know him, that's how I've, I've met him, well, I've talked to him. I met him once personally in, uh, the Comedy Store, but I talked to him on the phone for an extended period of time once when he was dealing with all this shit. And I think he's a really good guy, that's what I think.

   27. BSBrendan Schaub19:24

       Yeah, I love him.

   28. JRJoe Rogan19:24

       I think he's, he likes chaos though. He likes doing cocaine. He l- he probably likes doing things he shouldn't do, like (clears throat) he probably likes driving fast. Pro- he's probably an animal in, in some ways, like, he just loves, like, chaos. And I think that's one of the, I think the re- the reasons why he loved Hunter Thompson, he loved a brilliant man who loved chaos, and that's what Hunter was. Hunter was this, like, brilliant writer who was a, a cultural tr- cultural commentator who also enjoyed getting, like, obliterated, like really fucked up.

   29. BSBrendan Schaub19:59

       How, how long ago, Joe? How long are we talking here?

8. 20:00 – 24:47

   Hunter S. Thompson’s cannon funeral: Depp’s tribute, fame, and the cost of being young-famous

   1. JRJoe Rogan20:00

      Well, Hunter killed himself in the early 2000s-

   2. BSBrendan Schaub20:02

      Okay.

   3. JRJoe Rogan20:02

      ... um, after, what was it, like, 2010, '11 or something like that? I forget what year he killed himself.

   4. BSBrendan Schaub20:08

      Okay.

   5. JRJoe Rogan20:09

      But he, Johnny was friends with him.

   6. BSBrendan Schaub20:10

      Yeah.

   7. JRJoe Rogan20:11

      And Johnny played him in the movie, um, uh, you know, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. And, uh-

   8. BSBrendan Schaub20:17

      Great movie.

   9. JRJoe Rogan20:17

      ... he also, he al- yeah, he also narrated the Hunter Thompson documentary, which is, um, uh, g- was it Gonzo? Life in... yeah.

   10. NANarrator20:26

       Died in 2005.

   11. JRJoe Rogan20:28

       What's that?

   12. NANarrator20:28

       Died in 2005.

   13. BSBrendan Schaub20:29

       Mm. In Colorado?

   14. JRJoe Rogan20:31

       2005 is when he died? Yeah. Yeah, he shot himself. I mean, he was hurting at the end. He had hip replacements and he was in constant pain, and a life of doing drugs, like hardcore drugs and, uh, alcohol w- obliterated his body.

   15. BSBrendan Schaub20:47

       So it was Johnny's, uh, Johnny Depp's North Star, basically?

   16. JRJoe Rogan20:50

       Yeah, that's his, that's his hero-

   17. BSBrendan Schaub20:52

       (clears throat)

   18. JRJoe Rogan20:52

       ... in a lot of ways. I mean, Johnny Depp is... I, I'm, I'm, uh, I, I don't know the exact details, but he has a significant amount of Hunter Thompson memorabilia. Like, he bought-

   19. BSBrendan Schaub21:03

       He loves him.

   20. JRJoe Rogan21:03

       ... a significant amount.

   21. BSBrendan Schaub21:04

       Yeah.

   22. JRJoe Rogan21:05

       When the wife, when Hunter's wife was gonna get rid of some stuff, Johnny stepped in and got it all.

   23. BSBrendan Schaub21:09

       Hey, I-

   24. JRJoe Rogan21:09

       Johnny pa-

   25. BSBrendan Schaub21:10

       ... I'm a fan.

   26. JRJoe Rogan21:10

       ... Johnny paid for Hunter's funeral.

   27. BSBrendan Schaub21:12

       Oh, wow.

   28. JRJoe Rogan21:12

       It was millions of dollars.

   29. BSBrendan Schaub21:13

       Wow.

   30. JRJoe Rogan21:14

       He built a cannon to shoot Hunter's ashes-
9. 24:47 – 30:48

   Death rituals get darker: organic burial plans, Tibetan sky funerals, and crow intelligence

   1. JRJoe Rogan24:47

      Yeah. I wanna be buried without formaldehyde. I wanna become a part of nature. I don't wanna be fucking filled up with some toxic shit that doesn't let you rot.

   2. BSBrendan Schaub24:57

      No. But you wanna be buried, like, a... Just throw me-

   3. JRJoe Rogan24:59

      I don't wanna be cremated either. No box. No box.

   4. BSBrendan Schaub25:02

      Yeah. Yeah. Keep it organic, man.

   5. JRJoe Rogan25:03

      Just dig a deep-ass hole and chuck me in there.

   6. BSBrendan Schaub25:06

      No. Just, just like, I guess, get like a... What do you have, a Hennessy? Just get one of those big Hennessy trucks-

   7. JRJoe Rogan25:12

      (laughs)

   8. BSBrendan Schaub25:12

      ... and then have, like, uh, your fucking boys, your meaty boys, your security, just-

   9. JRJoe Rogan25:17

      Mm.

   10. BSBrendan Schaub25:17

       When I'm dead, just throw my body off fucking Laurel Canyon. And then just, wherever it falls, just let me go, dude.

   11. JRJoe Rogan25:22

       Mm.

   12. BSBrendan Schaub25:22

       And then when you drive by, just fucking salute that part.

   13. JRJoe Rogan25:25

       That's the... You know, you ever see the Tibetan sky funeral?

   14. BSBrendan Schaub25:28

       No.

   15. JRJoe Rogan25:28

       That's the darkest.

   16. BSBrendan Schaub25:29

       No, I don't watch funerals on YouTube.

   17. JRJoe Rogan25:30

       Tibetan s... Well, Tibetan sky funeral is not really a funeral.

   18. BSBrendan Schaub25:34

       What is it?

   19. JRJoe Rogan25:34

       They're feeding you to vultures.

   20. BSBrendan Schaub25:36

       Hard pass. Don't do that.

   21. JRJoe Rogan25:37

       They take, they take your clothes off, and they chop you up with, like, machetes and hatchets and shit.

   22. BSBrendan Schaub25:42

       No, no, no. No, no.

   23. JRJoe Rogan25:43

       They chop you up into chunks, and they leave you out there. So, like, you would have to chop up Kallen-

   24. BSBrendan Schaub25:49

       (laughs)

   25. JRJoe Rogan25:49

       ... in chunks and leave him...

   26. BSBrendan Schaub25:51

       Be so easy.

   27. JRJoe Rogan25:51

       (laughs)

   28. BSBrendan Schaub25:51

       No, I'd just pull him. He's so old, I just pull him like beef jerky.

   29. JRJoe Rogan25:54

       (laughs)

   30. BSBrendan Schaub25:54

       Just like (smacking lips) .
10. 30:48 – 36:52

    Comics in war zones and Hollywood risk-taking: Louie in Ukraine, Sean Penn in Ukraine, El Chapo interview

    1. JRJoe Rogan30:48

       Hey, you know, Louie was supposed to be doing a show in Ukraine.

    2. BSBrendan Schaub30:52

       I, I talked to him about it.

    3. JRJoe Rogan30:53

       That's wild.

    4. BSBrendan Schaub30:54

       Dude, this is how wild of a boy he is, because he was at the, uh, Schaub and Friends at The Improv, and he did a guest spot there and h- he was in the green room. First of all, I can't remember the last time when there was a comic on stage and all the comics in the green room walked out and watched somebody's set.

    5. JRJoe Rogan31:13

       Yeah.

    6. BSBrendan Schaub31:13

       I've seen it at the, at the store when you're on or Burr, you know, Joey Diaz. Since then, it's been years. Usually, you, you just bullshit with your buddies, you know, in the green room. And then when Louie was on, literally everyone was on the staircase at The Improv.

    7. JRJoe Rogan31:26

       Mm-hmm.

    8. BSBrendan Schaub31:27

       And he just fucking absolutely cr- annihilated. And not... And then, also, I figured with, you know, what he went through, it kind of changed his game up. No, man.

    9. JRJoe Rogan31:39

       Not at all.

    10. BSBrendan Schaub31:39

        He still d- w- what?

    11. JRJoe Rogan31:40

        Not at all.

    12. BSBrendan Schaub31:41

        Dude, and then-

    13. JRJoe Rogan31:41

        Maybe even better, because now he's doing it like he's young-

    14. BSBrendan Schaub31:44

        Maybe he feels free.

    15. JRJoe Rogan31:45

        ... and upcoming again.

    16. BSBrendan Schaub31:45

        Maybe he's like-

    17. JRJoe Rogan31:46

        Yeah.

    18. BSBrendan Schaub31:46

        ... "I got nothing else to lose. Fuck it."

    19. JRJoe Rogan31:47

        Yeah.

    20. BSBrendan Schaub31:48

        Then he comes back to the green room and he's, gets on his notepad and he's writing what worked, what didn't, and then did the late show and made adjustments.

    21. JRJoe Rogan31:54

        Mm-hmm.

    22. BSBrendan Schaub31:54

        So cool to see. So fucking cool to see. But between the shows we were talking, and, uh, he's like, "Yeah, it's weird." You know, he was like, "The, the media's reporting I'm still doing shows." He's like, "I was down to do it, even though they told me what was going on." And he was like, "I was on a plane, dude, headed to Ukraine." And then I guess it got worse, and he was, and even then they told me, "Hey, the fans are outside, man. They're here." And he was like, "Even during this fucking... They're getting bombed." He's like, "They're out here, man." He's like-

    23. JRJoe Rogan32:20

        Imagine if he did the show.

    24. BSBrendan Schaub32:21

        Dude, then Louie goes, "I'm still coming."

    25. JRJoe Rogan32:23

        (gasps)

    26. BSBrendan Schaub32:24

        But then the plane, he said, was, was like halfway and then turned around.

    27. JRJoe Rogan32:28

        Wow.

    28. BSBrendan Schaub32:28

        He's like, "But, you know, they told me they were there." I was, he was like, "I'm still gonna do it." I was like, "You're such a savage dude."

    29. JRJoe Rogan32:33

        Well, Sean Penn was over there filming a documentary. He was over there for quite a while.

    30. BSBrendan Schaub32:37

        That's weird though, yeah.
11. 36:52 – 40:05

    Mexico travel anxiety, cartel violence in tourist hubs, and why familiarity matters

    1. BSBrendan Schaub36:52

       Yeah, because me, my girl, and the kids were just in Mexico. You know, I stress out about it.

    2. JRJoe Rogan36:57

       Yeah.

    3. BSBrendan Schaub36:57

       And I was like, "Let's just go to San Diego, man."

    4. JRJoe Rogan36:59

       Right.

    5. BSBrendan Schaub36:59

       Like, uh, if something happens, at least I can call some people. Like, Mexico, we're fucked. My anxiety when we were there, dude, was... I couldn't sleep.

    6. JRJoe Rogan37:07

       Yeah.

    7. BSBrendan Schaub37:07

       I couldn't sleep. Couldn't sleep.

    8. JRJoe Rogan37:09

       Yeah.

    9. BSBrendan Schaub37:09

       And then, and then the last night we're there, we go to dinner, and I haven't seen this the whole time. W- we go to dinner, and we're walking back, and, uh, one of the guys who works there greets us. He goes, "I'll walk you back to your room." I go, "That's nice." But then I see behind me, there's a dude in all camouflage carrying an AK-47. And I keep s- and I'm like, "What the fuck is going on?" I have my, I'm, I'm holding my son.

    10. JRJoe Rogan37:29

        Yeah.

    11. BSBrendan Schaub37:29

        My... Boston, he's two. So I'm, so I'm home like this, and I'm like, "I'm gonna put him down just in case something pops off." 'Cause I'm like, "Why the fuck is this guy following..." So my girl's up, up abo- uh, in front of me, so I don't say anything 'cause I don't want her to be stressed out. So we get back to our little place and w- we go in there. And then, uh, I didn't say anything 'cause e- I didn't want to alert the family. And then the next morning, I go, "Hey, when the homeboy comes back in here..." 'Cause he only s- spoke Spanish. Um, I go, "Ask him why that guy with the AK-47 was following us last night." She goes, "What?" And I didn't want to tell you, but there was a guy following us back to the room. So she talks to him, 'cause he's following us, and when, as we get close to our, uh, little villa, he just disappears into the bushes. Literally just walked on a, uh, a different path. And she asks him, and he goes, "Oh, there's a high-profile celebrity on the property, and when he comes here, he hires his own security."

    12. JRJoe Rogan38:18

        Holy shit.

    13. BSBrendan Schaub38:19

        And I was like, "What? That guy, that dude's that scared?"

    14. JRJoe Rogan38:24

        Holy shit.

    15. BSBrendan Schaub38:24

        Well, if he know that, I don't know, man.

    16. JRJoe Rogan38:26

        Yeah, Jesus Christ.

    17. BSBrendan Schaub38:27

        And my girl got all mad 'cause I was like, "You know, they're kidnapping people." She's like, "Who the fuck's gonna kidnap your big ass?" I was like, "You never know, man. You never know."

    18. JRJoe Rogan38:34

        Isn't that funny she's talking shit about kidnappings?

    19. BSBrendan Schaub38:37

        Yeah, dude.

    20. JRJoe Rogan38:37

        Kidnappings are real.

    21. BSBrendan Schaub38:38

        Di- me?

    22. JRJoe Rogan38:39

        No, they're real. Like, kidnappings-

    23. BSBrendan Schaub38:40

        Oh, for sure.

    24. JRJoe Rogan38:41

        ... are real. They really do kidnap people.

    25. BSBrendan Schaub38:42

        With Americans?

    26. JRJoe Rogan38:43

        They're really good, though, uh, about the tourist and resort towns for the most part.

    27. BSBrendan Schaub38:47

        They're not right now, though, Joe.

    28. JRJoe Rogan38:48

        No?

    29. BSBrendan Schaub38:48

        Like in Cancun and, uh, where's the main place people go, that fucking-

    30. JRJoe Rogan38:52

        Acapulco?
12. 40:05 – 1:02:28

    Nicotine pouches, vaping health arguments, carnivore diets, and the Austin comedy ecosystem

    1. JRJoe Rogan40:05

       I always wonder when I watch you how often you have one of them little tobacco things in your mouth.

    2. BSBrendan Schaub40:09

       Every time.

    3. JRJoe Rogan40:10

       Right now, you got one in your mouth.

    4. BSBrendan Schaub40:11

       Oh, yeah.

    5. JRJoe Rogan40:11

       Like, 'cause it always looks like you have, like, dental work.

    6. BSBrendan Schaub40:13

       Yeah, uh, uh, yeah. You just reminded me to put another one in.

    7. JRJoe Rogan40:16

       Give me one of them things.

    8. BSBrendan Schaub40:17

       Yeah, you got it, brother.

    9. JRJoe Rogan40:18

       Is it a real problem, these things?

    10. BSBrendan Schaub40:20

        Uh, I love them. Rogue, shout out to Rogue nicotine, dude.

    11. JRJoe Rogan40:23

        Do you know anybody with mouth rot from these?

    12. BSBrendan Schaub40:25

        No, you're not gonna get cancer from these. That-

    13. JRJoe Rogan40:26

        Well, what are you? A doctor? The fuck (laughs) kind of statement is that?

    14. BSBrendan Schaub40:30

        I mean, you know, they are-

    15. JRJoe Rogan40:30

        What, you gonna stick it right here?

    16. BSBrendan Schaub40:31

        They are addictive.

    17. JRJoe Rogan40:32

        Is that good?

    18. BSBrendan Schaub40:33

        Yeah.

    19. JRJoe Rogan40:33

        All right.

    20. BSBrendan Schaub40:34

        This one's berry, this is the new flavor, berry. I love them.

    21. JRJoe Rogan40:37

        Tastes like shit. (laughs)

    22. BSBrendan Schaub40:37

        No, dude. You won't find a more intense flavor. And I-

    23. JRJoe Rogan40:41

        (laughs)

    24. BSBrendan Schaub40:41

        Listen, I don't... (laughs)

    25. JRJoe Rogan40:44

        (laughs)

    26. BSBrendan Schaub40:44

        You want one, Jamie?

    27. NANarrator40:46

        Sure.

    28. BSBrendan Schaub40:46

        Yeah, come on, dog. Get you some. Dude, and I, I don't know if it's 'cause I, I got COVID or I'm just getting older, but, like, I like intense shit, like coffee.

    29. JRJoe Rogan40:54

        Yeah, he, he had COVID. You can't smell anything anymore. (laughs)

    30. BSBrendan Schaub40:56

        I can't taste anything.
