Four Seasons pool shart story and the start of the drinking scoreboard

I sharted my pants in the pool yesterday.

I just wanna let everybody know that I ... Did you?

He had a gurgler.

Oh, no.
- ASAri Shaffir
Yeah, I sat there-
- JRJoe Rogan
Where was this, hotel?
- ASAri Shaffir
Yeah. (laughs)
- SGShane Gillis
It sounded like an old car.
- JRJoe Rogan
In the Four Seasons?
- ASAri Shaffir
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, no, that's not a good place to shart.
- MNMark Normand
(laughs)
- SGShane Gillis
Actually, it was great.
- JRJoe Rogan
That's a respectable establishment.
- ASAri Shaffir
No one else was there.
- SGShane Gillis
Did you get back in the pool?
- ASAri Shaffir
I did not get back in the pool.
- MNMark Normand
(laughs)
- SGShane Gillis
You let it wash itself out.
- JRJoe Rogan
He gave, he gave it a quick wipe. (laughs)
- SGShane Gillis
It's a giant bidet.
- MNMark Normand
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
He gave it a quick wipe and wiped right back in.
- ASAri Shaffir
I had that tight underwear, it kept it all in. The one that got the sheath, the sheath underwear, it kept it all in.
- 1:47 – 3:20
Reverse-Hitler mustache, old Hollywood casting, and “who’s allowed to play what?”
- JRJoe Rogan
Your mustache seems like you're losing hair here.
- ASAri Shaffir
(laughs)
- MNMark Normand
It's the reverse Hitler.
- SGShane Gillis
(laughs)
- MNMark Normand
Don't worry about it, dude. That's how not racist I am.
- JRJoe Rogan
He heils like this. He goes down.
- SGShane Gillis
(laughs)
- MNMark Normand
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
What is going on with this? Did you do that on purpose?
- MNMark Normand
I don't know. Don't worry about this. (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- MNMark Normand
You didn't do it on pur- that's just natural, right? (laughs)
- SGShane Gillis
It's very Asian, like an old, old Asian guy.
- MNMark Normand
Yeah, it's reparation.
- SGShane Gillis
Fu Manchu. He should be sitting on a box, peeling something.
- JRJoe Rogan
It's like John Wayne when he played Genghis Khan.
- MNMark Normand
Oh, that was great.
- SGShane Gillis
(laughs)
- MNMark Normand
They couldn't, that's the closest they get to Asian, so like, "Eh, just get a cowboy."
- JRJoe Rogan
"I'll tell you what, I'm on a roll all the way to Beijing."
- SGShane Gillis
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Have you ever seen John Wayne play Genghis Khan?
- MNMark Normand
Yeah, it's crazy.
- JRJoe Rogan
It's ... They didn't even try.
- MNMark Normand
No.
- JRJoe Rogan
They didn't even pretend.
- MNMark Normand
He's just a white dude, he's like, "I'm Genghis Khan."
- SGShane Gillis
(laughs)
- MNMark Normand
Put some eye makeup on him, a little ...
- SGShane Gillis
There's a couple, Andy Rooney, was it? He did the Breakfast at Tiffany's. (Chinese accent) "Oh, hello." All that shit.
- 3:20 – 5:45
Trans surgery rabbit hole, trans porn logic, and why porn used to show the guy’s face
- SGShane Gillis
... where you at on the trans? You, you know, you can't play a trans person now unless you're trans.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- SGShane Gillis
Which seems weird.
- ASAri Shaffir
You could ... You should just get a, a fucking pass if you suck a dick.
- JRJoe Rogan
That's all you gotta do?
- ASAri Shaffir
Yeah, half, halfway.
- JRJoe Rogan
But a lot of trans-
- SGShane Gillis
All right, Shane, you're in.
- JRJoe Rogan
... a lot of trans women-
- MNMark Normand
(laughs)
- ASAri Shaffir
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
... a lot of trans women, uh, still have sex with women.
- SGShane Gillis
That's true.
- JRJoe Rogan
And they keep their dicks.
- ASAri Shaffir
They're lesbos.
- JRJoe Rogan
Which I recommend you keep your dick.
- SGShane Gillis
Yes.
- JRJoe Rogan
You know, like, I've been paying attention to the operations. I, I went down-
- MNMark Normand
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
... a rabbit hole (exhales) because I had a guest who had a friend who had a operation, and it was a disaster.
- MNMark Normand
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
They, they transitioned, and then, and then she started explaining to me all the issues that happen with it, including, like, growing hair inside, because they-
- MNMark Normand
Oh, no.
- SGShane Gillis
Inside?
- JRJoe Rogan
... tucked inside and then you grow hair inside.
- ASAri Shaffir
Hm.
- MNMark Normand
Oh, boy.
- SGShane Gillis
Probably feels good.
- JRJoe Rogan
I mean, I don't, I don't think so.
- ASAri Shaffir
And then what?
- 5:45 – 9:55
Porn economics → data tracking, browser privacy, and Google search curation
- JRJoe Rogan
I used to have a guy in my neighborhood, uh, lived right down the street from me during the, the golden days when they sold DVDs. This guy was balling outta control. He had a phat Mercedes, lived in a beautiful house, and, uh-
- SGShane Gillis
The bootlegs.
- JRJoe Rogan
... he was making all this money.
- ASAri Shaffir
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
But then ... No, no, no, he was making his own.
- SGShane Gillis
Oh.
- JRJoe Rogan
He was a producer.
- SGShane Gillis
Oh.
- ASAri Shaffir
Oh, nice.
- JRJoe Rogan
But then digital came along. The internet came along-
- MNMark Normand
Ruined it.
- JRJoe Rogan
... and took the fucking legs out of that company.
- SGShane Gillis
Oh, yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
That business went-... kaput. I mean, the, the, the government bailed out all kinds of companies. They never, there was never a peep about bailing out the porn industry.
- GUGuest
Yeah.
- SGShane Gillis
Hmm, interesting.
- GUGuest
Good one.
- JRJoe Rogan
You know? But everybody's pretending they don't u-... It's-
- GUGuest
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Porn is a weird thing, like people pretend they don't watch it.
- SGShane Gillis
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
But it's literally-
- GUGuest
(burps)
- JRJoe Rogan
... billions of people watch it.
- GUGuest
The biggest company.
- SGShane Gillis
Billions.
- GUGuest
The biggest industry.
- SGShane Gillis
They show the views now. It's like eight million, nine million.
- GUGuest
My mom doesn't watch it. Every video?
- SGShane Gillis
Yeah.
- 9:55 – 12:58
Depp–Heard trial: hot lawyers, PR disasters, and ‘believe all women / believe no actress’
- SGShane Gillis
Yeah, apparently Johnny Depp put a lot of dough into social media and that helped everybody realize that Heard was a koos.
- GUGuest
Wow. (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
I don't think that's what happened.
- SGShane Gillis
Oh, oh, that's what I heard. I donated.
- JRJoe Rogan
Do you feel bad for her at all?
- SGShane Gillis
Well, she lied.
- JRJoe Rogan
She definitely lied.
- GUGuest
Yeah, I feel bad for anybody who gets in that... It's like they're both losers out of it.
- SGShane Gillis
She shou- How did she get drawn into that? Did she have to go to court?
- JRJoe Rogan
She's hot. She's being hot.
- SGShane Gillis
No, no, yeah, no I mean-
- GUGuest
That's pretty...
- SGShane Gillis
Did she have to do that?
- JRJoe Rogan
She had to. Yeah.
- SGShane Gillis
Oh, okay.
- JRJoe Rogan
He sued her. He sued her for defamation.
- SGShane Gillis
She said he hit her.
- JRJoe Rogan
She wrote an article which turned out she didn't write the article, the ACLU wrote the article.
- GUGuest
What?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. The ACLU ghostwrote the article in exchange for her donating money-
- GUGuest
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
... that she never gave them.
- SGShane Gillis
(laughs)
- GUGuest
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, that was good.
- JRJoe Rogan
She pledged it.
- SGShane Gillis
Pledged.
- GUGuest
Yeah, pledge. Pledge is not a promise.
- SGShane Gillis
It's a cleaner. What a good promise.
- JRJoe Rogan
Did you see that, that woman interviewing her after the fact? She did an interview after the court was over and it was even worse.
- GUGuest
No, I didn't see it. What'd she say? Oh, it's the best.
- 12:58 – 15:36
Woke backlash, workplace petitions, and comedy-world ‘bullying’ dynamics
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, it just exposes the, the weirdness of woke 'cause it's not consistent or logical. Doesn't, it doesn't make any sense sometimes.
- SGShane Gillis
Right.
- GUGuest
It's a team.
- SGShane Gillis
It's what you choose.
- GUGuest
It's just a team.
- JRJoe Rogan
Well yeah, it is, it is.
- GUGuest
They can't figure it out.
- JRJoe Rogan
It's also people that are cowards and they're terrified of someone coming after them, so they wanna be on the right side that's the most aggressive.
- SGShane Gillis
Uh-huh.
- JRJoe Rogan
And the most aggressive side is the woke side.
- SGShane Gillis
But will it flip?
- JRJoe Rogan
It's flipping. It's flipping already, if you look at the elections. I mean, there's, there's places that were, like, historically Democrat that are going red now 'cause people are freaked out. They're freaked out at schools, they're freaked out about l- uh, ideology, they're freaked about the workplace and-
- SGShane Gillis
Gas prices.
- JRJoe Rogan
And also, like, look at what happened with SpaceX. SpaceX just, uh, a bunch of employees just organized to try to... They wanted to do something about Elon Musk, try to get Elon Musk to step down from space.
- SGShane Gillis
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Literally something he founded.
- GUGuest
It's fucking low- low to nothing.
- JRJoe Rogan
They tried to get him... They were saying that he's, uh, he's damaging them by being on Twitter and they were trying to get people to sign this petition. And so they-
- GUGuest
Are you crazy, going after your boss publicly?
- JRJoe Rogan
... f- they fired, they fired the people and they said that they were bullying people to try to get them to sign a petition that they didn't wanna sign. So, they-
- GUGuest
Oh, right.
- JRJoe Rogan
... w- which is what they do. They scare people.
- GUGuest
You should sign this. You should sign it. They're like, ugh.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, be on the right side of history. They thought they could push him out.
- SGShane Gillis
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
You know, they're like, "What he's doing with, with Twitter is wrong." And...
- GUGuest
The people that... They were doing this, uh, they protested Louie at some comedy club, all the local comics. And then when it was o- like, shouldn't, don't support this club. And then, uh, and then afterwards they're like signing up for spots at the club and the owner was like, "No."
- SGShane Gillis
You're mean.
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- GUGuest
You guys told people not to support my business.
- 15:36 – 18:29
Marjorie Taylor Greene, QAnon, and why conspiracies ‘end at the Jews’
- JRJoe Rogan
She's QAnon nuts. Alex Jones told me he was partying with her.
- SGShane Gillis
(laughs)
- GUGuest
Jesus Christ. (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
They all went to dinner and had drinks.
- GUGuest
Who is she? Who is she?
She says she's wild.
(laughs)
I believe it. She does anal, no doubt about it.
She is wild, dude.
- JRJoe Rogan
You think so?
- GUGuest
Oh, she is a freak.
- JRJoe Rogan
Ass to mouth, yes or no?
- GUGuest
Yeah, easily. Jewish space laser-
(laughs)
... right up the pooper.
Who is she?
- JRJoe Rogan
What did you say, Jewish space lasers?
- SGShane Gillis
That's her thing.
- GUGuest
Didn't you say that Jews had space lasers or something?
- JRJoe Rogan
She's wild.
- SGShane Gillis
She actually said that publicly, that Jews have space lasers.
- GUGuest
She got hit... I got some friends that succumb to Q, also.
- SGShane Gillis
Listen... Really?
- GUGuest
Yeah, it's the best.
- JRJoe Rogan
No, they don't.
- GUGuest
Yeah.
- SGShane Gillis
Really?
- GUGuest
They, they believe Q.
It's the best.
Now they're like, "Fuck."

Wow, that's pretty hot.
- 21:49 – 29:47
Cigars, bottles, ‘no bosses’ life, and the anatomy of nonstop riffing
- JRJoe Rogan
I took a, I took six weeks off drinking. How long are you willing to drink? We won't need the case. Good for you. I, I very admire- R.E.'s. I very much admire your work ethic, the way you handled preparing for your special. It was very impressive.
- GUGuest
Thanks. (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
He didn't do any boozing. (laughs) I offered him weed, he said nay. He said nay to the weed.
- GUGuest
Wow, nay to the weed?
- JRJoe Rogan
Why? I drank some NAs while, while I was here in Austin. Not alcoholic. During the week at the creek. Yeah, I got to blend in.

That's all for show, the NAs.

Nick's awesome. The, the... What they're doing over there is really cool. And the, like when he made me a cigar I was very skeptical. I was like, "You're making me a cigar?" I thought it was a novelty cigar. Yeah, but it's a damn good cigar. It's very good. Like I go right to him. He knows his shit, you know. Cigars are like wine or like anything else. Like the people that really... Like Bobby.

Joe’s martial arts origin story and comedians doing pro wrestling
- JRJoe Rogan
And then leaving a baseball game is how I really got into martial arts.

Leaving a baseball game?
Fist fight?

You mean a karate fight?
- JRJoe Rogan
No, leaving Fenway Park and, uh, I was walking-
- GUGuest
And then the fight broke out like usual? (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan

- GUGuest
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
And so, uh, me and my- my friend Jimmy was like, we were like 14. And, uh, I walked up this, uh, this street and, uh, there was a karate school, a Tae Kwon Do school. And I went up the stairs, and right when I was going up the stairs, there was this guy named John Lee. Oh, yeah, get it, it's Jimmy. And he was, uh, national champion. He was training for the World, uh, Cup. And I- I got to watch him prepare, like, I just walked in as a, you know, a bystander.
- GUGuest
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
And I- I walked in, like, at the peak of his training, at the top of his game, you know, national champion. I got to see what he could do. I was like, "Holy fuck, I wanna do that."
- GUGuest
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
He was kicking his bag.... and I remember just being flabbergasted.
- GUGuest
The leg kick-
- JRJoe Rogan
But it was because of my love of, of baseball. Huh. Baseball brought me into martial arts. Isn't that wild? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

When you see, when you hear that fa-fump!
When you were fu-... With any video you post of you fucking hitting the bag, I'm like, "Goddamn, dude."
- JRJoe Rogan
Huh. Yeah. It's fun.
- GUGuest
No, you've never seen a leg kick until you see him kick Eleanor in the butt. (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- GUGuest
(laughs)
She would, like, do it, and he would go, "Woo-ka!"
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- GUGuest
Who?
Eleanor Kerrigan. It would make this (claps) sound.
- JRJoe Rogan
It was- Oh, shit. That was with the foot though. That was more of, like, a loud noise-
- GUGuest
Yeah.

Dictators on stimulants and modern politics as slapstick (Hitler, Churchill, Queen, Biden fall)

No.
That was my favorite Burr bit.
All I knew is he liked to shut his chest shirt off.
- JRJoe Rogan
He had a bit about Hitler?
- GUGuest
Burr, Burr had a bit about Hitler. And then he's like, "Can you imagine getting in a limo-"

Conspiracy overload: Oklahoma City bombing, Tower 7 arguments, and the unreliability of eyewitnesses
- GUGuest
True. (laughs) No, you MKUltra'd him. (laughs) By the way, you ever see what happened to that cop in Oklahoma City?
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, no.
- GUGuest
What cop? The shooter? What? No, this, this big fucking black dude that was ... He was like the first cop on the scene. Boy, did they suicide that guy.
- JRJoe Rogan
What are you talking about?
- GUGuest
Oh.
- JRJoe Rogan
Uh, there's a cop that was like first on the scene at Oklahoma City that like, they- Timothy McVeigh? The, the bombing?
- GUGuest
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But they, they said it was a suicide. You know.
- JRJoe Rogan
Terrence Hickey-
- GUGuest
Don't look into that. Don't look into that dude's autopsy.
- JRJoe Rogan
... was a sergeant in the Oklahoma City Police Department, who was one of the first responders at the site of the Oklahoma City bombing, rescuing at least four people. He died a year after his rescue service. Hickey was found to have committed suicide.
- GUGuest
That's a suicide.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, uh-oh.
- GUGuest
They found, like- Why? Dude, like why, why not believe it? Uh, look up his autopsy, if you can, Joe. It's wild. What did he say? A year later he was talking?
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, just find an article that says he ... And, and don't find any that refutes it, please.
- GUGuest
Yeah. This is fun. (laughs) So he was at the ... He was at the bombing, and then he saw what really happened.
- JRJoe Rogan
Apa- apparently, apparently he got into the ca- uh, he, apparently when he, the first thing he said to his wife was like, "They're not telling the story at all-"
- GUGuest
Oh, boy.
- JRJoe Rogan
"... of what happened." And then he got fucking ... Well, you know, there was multiple bombs-
- GUGuest
But why did they wait a year for him to talk?
- JRJoe Rogan
... allegedly removed from that building. And the, the, when you look at the way the building blew up, this is like one of the granddaddies of conspiracy theories, is uh, the Oklahoma City bombing, that there's more to the story. Because if you look at the building itself, what does, what does it say there, Jim?
- GUGuest
Hold on, I'm just gonna wait 'til you finish that one.
- JRJoe Rogan
Okay. When you look at the building itself, um, they said it was a fertilizer bomb, which they do make, they're real. And that they parked this truck at the base of the building and blew it up. But if you look at the building, the building's blown outward.
- GUGuest
Whoa.
- JRJoe Rogan
Like it's blown out. Now, I'm obviously not a fucking bomb expert, but I talked to one. And he-
- GUGuest
You should see your act. (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs) He can't stop himself.
- GUGuest
Keep going.
- JRJoe Rogan
Ba-dum-bum.
- GUGuest
I need some levity. (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
If you look at ... If you ... It did need levity.
