      What's happening?

   5. PCPatrick Carney0:14

      Good to see you.

   6. DADan Auerbach0:15

      Good to see you, man.

   7. JRJoe Rogan0:15

      Great to see you guys. First of all, before we even get started, your fucking new album is fantastic.

   8. PCPatrick Carney0:20

      Thank you. Thank you so much.

   9. DADan Auerbach0:20

      Thanks, man.

   10. JRJoe Rogan0:20

       I listened to it at the gym this morning, in fact, right before I got here. It was fucking good, man. It's so- it's classic Black Keys.

   11. DADan Auerbach0:27

       Thank you.

   12. JRJoe Rogan0:27

       It's so good.

   13. DADan Auerbach0:28

       Oh, shit, man. Thank you.

   14. JRJoe Rogan0:28

       You guys consistently make just fucking banging music.

   15. PCPatrick Carney0:33

       (laughs)

   16. JRJoe Rogan0:33

       It's so good. It's so consistent. How the fuck are you guys so consistent?

   17. PCPatrick Carney0:39

       You know, we, we learned to play together, you know, 20, a couple, 23 years ago. I got- I, like, literally started playing drums with him, 'cause before that I was playing guitar, and I guess we just learned how to play together. We have this kind of dynamic, and I think we also have the- very similar tastes. It's all kind of very, it's very... I believe in fate, after meeting, after this-

   18. DADan Auerbach1:03

       Mm-hmm.

   19. PCPatrick Carney1:03

       ... existence we have, because if it weren't for us growing up a few houses down from each other, we would have never met, and we've become, you know, like, literally like brothers. We have this, we're like... Our, our first record came out 20 years ago, uh, this week, and we've been doing this thing, and it's- it's kind of feels like a dream, you know, when I think back about all the shit we've been through, and... But as far as the consistency, it's like we've always been on the same page. We just wanted to... We were, like, fascinated with albums. We wanted to make records, and we were, like, you know, two dorks living around the corner from each other who had f- these things called four tracks, you know, like a little cassette, and you could record four different sounds.

   20. DADan Auerbach1:45

       I didn't have one. The first time I saw one was at Pat's.

   21. PCPatrick Carney1:48

       I had, yeah, I had one. He would come over.

   22. DADan Auerbach1:49

       Blew my mind, man. It was so cool.

   23. PCPatrick Carney1:51

       You could, like, record guitar, vocals, drums.

   24. JRJoe Rogan1:52

       What year is this about?

   25. PCPatrick Carney1:53

       '97.

   26. JRJoe Rogan1:55

       Oh.

   27. PCPatrick Carney1:55

       And then we would, like, fuck around on our four track, and I would take it over to his house, his parents' house, and we'd, like, set microphones up in the bathroom and- to get different sounds.

   28. DADan Auerbach2:05

       He just sat on the toilet, put the drums in front of him, use the toilet as the seat. (laughs)

   29. PCPatrick Carney2:10

       (laughs) Yeah. And, uh, we would just have fun, and then, you know, like, around 2000 and, uh, it was 2001, it was like right around 9/11, I bought this, like, digital 12 track recorder, and it was a big deal 'cause it cost like $1000, and I- I went into debt. And I ran into Dan right around then, we were both like 21, and, uh, I told him about it, and he's like, "You should come record my, uh, you should record my band." He had a bar band, and so, uh, I told him to come over, and, uh, the other dudes just never showed up, and so I was there with this recorder, and he's like, "You should just play the drums," which I didn't really play. And so we set up the mics, and he showed me the songs, and we recorded them real quick. And then, like, I'm- I spent a couple days mixing it, and se- gave him the CD-R, and he's like, "Dude, we should start a band."

   30. JRJoe Rogan2:59

       (laughs)
2. 15:00 – 30:00

   (laughs) …

   1. NANarrator15:00

      kind that will make love rock. It's thick, it's long.

   2. PCPatrick Carney15:05

      (laughs)

   3. NANarrator15:06

      It's well hung. It's a really, really, really, really, really, really, really nice one. Got a really, really, really, really, really, really, really sweet snap to make love, to make love last. It sustains, remains in position. To fulfill its intended mission.

   4. JRJoe Rogan15:29

      (laughs)

   5. NANarrator15:29

      Got a really, really, really, really, really, really, really sweet treat. It'll put your whole room into heat. If you've got the room and I got the meat.

   6. JRJoe Rogan15:40

      (laughs)

   7. NANarrator15:41

      It's a really, really, really, really, really, really, really sweet treat.

   8. PCPatrick Carney15:44

      (laughs)

   9. JRJoe Rogan15:45

      Come on, man.

   10. NANarrator15:45

       It's a really, really, really, really, really, really, really-

   11. DADan Auerbach15:46

       Dude, it feels like-

   12. JRJoe Rogan15:46

       It's cool, right?

   13. DADan Auerbach15:47

       ... it feels like he's got a girl down in a well right next to him.

   14. JRJoe Rogan15:50

       (laughs) Give me a little more volume.

   15. DADan Auerbach15:52

       You know what I'm saying?

   16. JRJoe Rogan15:52

       Keep it on in the background a little bit.

   17. NANarrator15:54

       And when she's done for the night-

   18. JRJoe Rogan15:54

       But you know what I'm saying? It's like, I listen to this in the car sometimes. Like, when I'm driving around and it's on one of my playlists. When I'm driving by myself, I like this song.

   19. DADan Auerbach16:02

       Oh, yeah.

   20. JRJoe Rogan16:03

       You know, but it's like, you look at this, this guy made this for zero money. He has... I mean, I don't know what he's using. This is like fucking Windows 98.

   21. PCPatrick Carney16:12

       Have you ever, have you ever heard of the band The Shaggs?

   22. JRJoe Rogan16:14

       No.

   23. PCPatrick Carney16:15

       Okay. Well, my uncle Ralph, uh, was a musician. He was really, like, avant-garde.

   24. JRJoe Rogan16:21

       Dan, you want some Tyson weed?

   25. DADan Auerbach16:22

       I'll give it a shot.

   26. JRJoe Rogan16:23

       Yeah, I knew you would.

   27. PCPatrick Carney16:24

       You can give it a shot.

   28. JRJoe Rogan16:24

       I knew you would.

   29. DADan Auerbach16:25

       (laughs)

   30. PCPatrick Carney16:26

       Um, he put... My uncle played with Tom Waits for years and he played saxophone. He was into really weird stuff. But when I was a teenager, he showed... He introduced... I went to visit him in San Francisco, and he w- introduced me to all this weird music for the first time. And he's like... He played me this record by the ban-... This band called The Shaggs, and they have a record called Philosophy of the World. And it's three sisters who absolutely can't play music or write music or sing.
3. 30:00 – 45:00

   Thank you. Good evening…

   1. PCPatrick Carney30:00

      that would just give me a complex watching it 'cause...

   2. NANarrator30:03

      Thank you. Good evening from Black Sabbath. Thank you. (laughs)

   3. PCPatrick Carney30:06

      Oh my God.

   4. JRJoe Rogan30:06

      Damn. Clap if you count- Ozzy's been through the fucking ringer.

   5. PCPatrick Carney30:12

      Oh, yeah.

   6. NANarrator30:13

      All right, now...

   7. JRJoe Rogan30:14

      You, when you realize what he was like at one point in time-

   8. NANarrator30:17

      ... the light is gonna fade.

   9. JRJoe Rogan30:17

      ... and you see what he's like now.

   10. PCPatrick Carney30:18

       Oh, if you fast-forward three years-

   11. NANarrator30:20

       I want everyone to clap-

   12. PCPatrick Carney30:20

       ... um, they play a concert, um, at a speedway in California, like, '73-And, uh, you can see the drugs has already ... Did their thing.

   13. JRJoe Rogan30:32

       That dude went hard.

   14. PCPatrick Carney30:33

       So check it out. Fast-forward to the ab- uh, Black Sabbath at the speedway in 1973. He's wearing this (laughs) crazy outfit so on speed.

   15. JRJoe Rogan30:41

       (laughs)

   16. PCPatrick Carney30:41

       It's like ay, ay, ay. It's a three-year- three years later, just gone.

   17. JRJoe Rogan30:47

       (sighs) Fuck.

   18. PCPatrick Carney30:48

       But yeah, that, those, they had, they made like six insane records in th- four or five years.

   19. JRJoe Rogan30:53

       Yeah, the lifestyle was just too much.

   20. PCPatrick Carney30:55

       Oh, man.

   21. JRJoe Rogan30:55

       It was too much. That, well, that was, uh, uh, do you think that people really knew like the long-term effects of speed back then? It seems like they didn't. (laughs)

   22. PCPatrick Carney31:05

       I don't know.

   23. JRJoe Rogan31:06

       It seems like-

   24. DADan Auerbach31:06

       (laughs) I don't think so.

   25. PCPatrick Carney31:07

       (laughs)

   26. JRJoe Rogan31:07

       ... it wasn't around before that, right?

   27. DADan Auerbach31:08

       I don't think they cared to.

   28. PCPatrick Carney31:09

       What, wasn't Hitler on speed? Did he-

   29. JRJoe Rogan31:11

       Yes.

   30. DADan Auerbach31:11

       Yeah.
4. 45:00 – 1:00:00

   Mm-hmm. …

   1. PCPatrick Carney45:00

      reason, this image keeps coming up and it's, it's, it takes place, uh, when we were on tour. And I find it to be, like, the most comforting thing for some reason, but it was, like, after a show in Houston. There was these two, like, chicks that, you know, came to the show, were hanging out, and they wanted to, they wanted to hang out with us after the show. So we went down to their car and all they wanted to do with us was a bunch of whip-its. And, uh, we went to their car. Do you remember this?

   2. JRJoe Rogan45:24

      Mm-hmm.

   3. PCPatrick Carney45:24

      And their whole backseat (laughs) of their car was just filled up with, with whip-its and, uh, my brother was there and Dan was there and just sat there and did whip-its with them.

   4. JRJoe Rogan45:34

      (laughs)

   5. PCPatrick Carney45:34

      And I was just like, "This is ... (laughs) That's what, like, that's ..." I miss those days. (laughs)

   6. NANarrator45:42

      (laughs)

   7. NANarrator45:42

      (laughs)

   8. PCPatrick Carney45:42

      That was it.

   9. NANarrator45:43

      Man.

   10. PCPatrick Carney45:43

       That's the whole story, just like ...

   11. JRJoe Rogan45:44

       I worked at a Newport Creamery and every- people got fired for doing whip-its.

   12. PCPatrick Carney45:48

       (laughs)

   13. NANarrator45:48

       (laughs)

   14. JRJoe Rogan45:49

       It was an ice cream place in Massachusetts and dudes who worked there would do whip-its.

   15. PCPatrick Carney45:53

       It's so innocent though.

   16. NANarrator45:54

       (laughs)

   17. PCPatrick Carney45:54

       These, these girls just wanted-

   18. JRJoe Rogan45:55

       I started whipping cream too. (laughs)

   19. PCPatrick Carney45:56

       They just wanted-

   20. NANarrator45:56

       Creams sales doubled this month.

   21. JRJoe Rogan45:58

       (laughs)

   22. PCPatrick Carney45:59

       (laughs) Yeah.

   23. JRJoe Rogan46:00

       I never did whip-its. Or if I do, I don't remember. I don't think I got high off of it.

   24. PCPatrick Carney46:04

       Oh, yeah.

   25. JRJoe Rogan46:05

       I think I ... I don't think I did it right. Maybe I tried a little bit, but the guys who did it swore by it. (laughs)

   26. NANarrator46:11

       (laughs)

   27. PCPatrick Carney46:11

       (laughs)

   28. JRJoe Rogan46:11

       They would do it all the time. They would use ... 'Cause they had those fucking big ass jugs 'cause we would make-

   29. PCPatrick Carney46:16

       Oh my God.

   30. JRJoe Rogan46:16

       ... whipped cream back there. So they had these big ass jugs of the juice.
5. 1:00:00 – 1:11:17

   (laughs) …

   1. PCPatrick Carney1:00:00

      inside of his yacht."

   2. NANarrator1:00:01

      (laughs)

   3. JRJoe Rogan1:00:01

      (laughs)

   4. PCPatrick Carney1:00:01

      And I was like, "What the fuck?" He's like, "Yeah, there's two, two of these boats go inside his boat." And I was... And they had like f- forward-looking infrared. You could see like... It looked like daylight, and it was flying.

   5. JRJoe Rogan1:00:12

      Holy shit.

   6. PCPatrick Carney1:00:13

      I'm like, "What the fuck?" And then I was like, "How often does he have to s- like, refuel that boat?" He's like... The, the pilot, uh, ship guy, whatever you call it. Skipper was like...

   7. JRJoe Rogan1:00:24

      (laughs)

   8. NANarrator1:00:24

      (laughs)

   9. PCPatrick Carney1:00:24

      He was like, "That boat? Oh, every two years you need to g- take that thing to fu-" And I was like, "What the fuck?" It's like...

   10. JRJoe Rogan1:00:31

       Two years.

   11. PCPatrick Carney1:00:31

       I'm like, "Is that like a... Is it like a nuclear reactor in that?"

   12. JRJoe Rogan1:00:33

       (laughs)

   13. PCPatrick Carney1:00:33

       And he just looked at me like I was an idiot. I- I still don't know, but I was like, "Fuck, man." I was like, that's the... That's like... It could be a really good, uh, Adam Sandler vehicle that... Like, like Airheads , but instead of taking over a radio station, they take over the world by, by... I don't know.

   14. JRJoe Rogan1:00:47

       Well, w-

   15. PCPatrick Carney1:00:47

       The, the band goes and plays St. Barts, and then just like, I don't know, takes over the world.

   16. NANarrator1:00:52

       (laughs)

   17. JRJoe Rogan1:00:52

       It'd be good to do it at this time when the Russian oligarchs are all getting their yachts stolen from them.Yeah.

   18. PCPatrick Carney1:00:58

       You gotta wonder why everybody wants that yacht. All those rich guys want the fucking yacht. The big, huge yacht. David Geffen.

   19. JRJoe Rogan1:01:04

       What? Yeah.

   20. PCPatrick Carney1:01:04

       What's in these yachts?

   21. JRJoe Rogan1:01:05

       They have their own little town. It's... (laughs) What powers these yachts? (laughs)

   22. NANarrator1:01:08

       Yeah, what... It's just the ultimate baller thing, isn't it? For those guys.

   23. PCPatrick Carney1:01:11

       No, it's... I think... Dude, I, I, uh, they're armed, straight up.

   24. JRJoe Rogan1:01:16

       They're armed?

   25. PCPatrick Carney1:01:16

       Oh, yeah.

   26. JRJoe Rogan1:01:17

       So those things are like military vehicles.

   27. PCPatrick Carney1:01:19

       I know... I heard the Romans had some fucking weapons on it. Fuck yeah.

   28. JRJoe Rogan1:01:23

       Jesus Christ.

   29. PCPatrick Carney1:01:25

       Torpedoes and all that shit.

   30. JRJoe Rogan1:01:26

       So they're driving around an armored city in Torpedoes. (laughs)
