- NANarrator
The Joe Rogan Experience. (energetic music) Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night. All day. How many times have you smoked a cigar?

I don't know if I've smoked one before.
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)

Can we open that again one more time? Sorry about ...
- JRJoe Rogan
How ... Just, just pull it down. Yeah, lift, flip the top.
- TVTheo Von
Oh, okay, yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
There you go. And then pull that do- ... There you go.
- TVTheo Von
Yeah. (cigarette hisses) (lighter clicks)
- JRJoe Rogan
How would you not know whether or not you've smoked a cigar.
- TVTheo Von
Well, I used to work at this business company, I worked at this insurance company. I did paperwor- ... Uh, not paperwork, but I, like, mailed papers for them. And, um, like, mailings, I guess. I guess that's paperwork.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- TVTheo Von
And the man had a lot of nice cigars in there.
- JRJoe Rogan
And you may or may not have smoked one?
- TVTheo Von
I feel like he tried to teach me one time. Oh, I feel my heart shuttin'. (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- TVTheo Von
Is that always like it is?
- JRJoe Rogan
I ... Don't ... No. No, your heart doesn't shut. (laughs)
- TVTheo Von
Oh, shit, fuck it. (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
I think it's the smelling salts. We just tried a new batch of the smelling salts.
- TVTheo Von
Oh, yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Last time I did smelling salts, first time was with you, right?
- TVTheo Von
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
And we just got a new batch and it was way stronger 'cause we did one with Red Band and it was old.
- TVTheo Von
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
It was the old ones, and they get weak after a while. But that one was a freshie. Like, we pulled the tab off the top and took a hit of it, and (sniffs) whoo, it just burned all my nostril hairs off.
- TVTheo Von
Oh, man. It felt like somebody was fucking playing Legend of Zelda in my lungs, bro.
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- TVTheo Von
This shit was fucking really ... It goes al- ... It goes ... It doesn't even hit your lungs. I feel like it goes through, just into everything else almo- ... It, like ... (sniffs)
- JRJoe Rogan
It does a lot.
- 1:44 – 4:11
Hair transplant reveal, headphones, and the ‘purse vs bag’ debate
- JRJoe Rogan
Can I just tell you, your hair looks fabulous?
- TVTheo Von
Oh, thanks, man. Really?
- JRJoe Rogan
It looks fabulous, yeah.
- TVTheo Von
Thanks, dude.
- JRJoe Rogan
It's ... It's just full everything.
- TVTheo Von
I just got some new hair done out of the back, put in the front.
- JRJoe Rogan
How'd you do that?
- TVTheo Von
Um ...
- JRJoe Rogan
Were you losing hair?
- TVTheo Von
Surgery.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah? Were you losing?
- TVTheo Von
I don't know if I was losing as much as I was b- ... I've been also getting paranoid and just trying to be, uh, preparatory, but I was having a lot of stress too.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh.
- TVTheo Von
Last year.
- JRJoe Rogan
What were you having stress about?
- TVTheo Von
Uh, let me think.
- JRJoe Rogan
Do you wanna wear headphones or no?
- TVTheo Von
Oh, yeah, you wanna put them on? I didn't see you had yours on.
- JRJoe Rogan
I feel like I'm alone here in headphone land.
- TVTheo Von
(laughs) Yeah, it is weird, huh?
- JRJoe Rogan
But now you're back.
- TVTheo Von
It's like when you put a condom on (laughs) and then just the other person's just still looking at their phone. You're like-
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- TVTheo Von
... "Oh, this is weird." And the person, I mean, is a woman too.
- JRJoe Rogan
Jesus Christ. You gotta p- ... You gotta tell everybody, huh?
- TVTheo Von
Well, I'm just saying. (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- TVTheo Von
I was just saying. I just had a crazy ... I had a, like, a trainer the other day and it was a gay trainer, right? And he had a purse with him the whole time and it just, um ...
- JRJoe Rogan
What's the difference between a purse and a large shoulder bag?
- TVTheo Von
Okay. This one, I would say, had bejewels on it, you know?
- 4:11 – 6:54
Cigarette history, heartbreak binge-smoking, and cheating stories
- JRJoe Rogan
You just wanna kind of, like, get it going, like da, da. Yeah, you don't inhale, just kinda get it in your mouth and the, the nicotine will get into your bloodstream and then the conversation flows magically.
- TVTheo Von
(laughs) Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Did you ever smoke cigarettes?
- TVTheo Von
Oh, yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah?
- TVTheo Von
I used to smoke 'em, man. One time I got so depressed. I'd been seeing this gal and she split up with me.
- JRJoe Rogan
Damn.
- TVTheo Von
And I smoked probably 33, 34 Newports in a row laying on a-
- JRJoe Rogan
Futon?
- TVTheo Von
No. It's a, um-
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- TVTheo Von
What's, like a floating chair? It has, like, little things on the end, kinda. You know what I'm talking about?
- JRJoe Rogan
A floating chair, the one that you put in the pool?
- TVTheo Von
No, it has, like, a couple people can sit on it, but it's like a, um, it's like a couple chairs are together, like, in a group and it has, like, chains. You know what I'm talking about? People put it on their porch.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- TVTheo Von
Swing.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, yeah.
- TVTheo Von
Port swing.
- JRJoe Rogan
Swinging chair, yeah.
- TVTheo Von
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Port swing.
- JRJoe Rogan
And you just drank ... Smoked Newports, tried to get over this lady?
- TVTheo Von
(sighs) Yeah, they just ... Yeah, they just ... I felt like it was helping my spirit.
- JRJoe Rogan
What happened with her?
- TVTheo Von
Mm ... She caught me running around on her.
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm.
- TVTheo Von
And I was doing it too.
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, women.
- TVTheo Von
So was m- ... When we fucked.
- JRJoe Rogan
Women get upset about that.
- TVTheo Von
Yeah, they do, huh? They do. Did you ever get busted for that ever in your life?
- 6:54 – 8:12
College chaos: eavesdropping on sex and the balcony window accident
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, it was... You were wild. Like, you- you'd only been making out with people for a couple of years.
- TVTheo Von
Yeah, one time this guy, uh, I knew was having sex with this girl, and like the rest of us were just- just kind of being lonely outside of his room.
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- TVTheo Von
And, um, we went on the balcony.
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- TVTheo Von
We went on the-
- JRJoe Rogan
I just picture you. How many guys are outside of the room being lonely?
- TVTheo Von
Three guys, right?
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs) So one guy's in there getting his freak on and everybody else is outside, "Hmm."
- TVTheo Von
Oh, it was so... Yeah. And because of the sound you feel so much fucking lonelier, you know? So...
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- TVTheo Von
And, uh, we went outside on the balcony to like, one guy was out there smoking a cigarette, and so then he starts listening to the sex through the window. Then he comes back in, he's like, "You guys gotta come in here, you know. Chucky's doing some work in here."
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- TVTheo Von
"You know what I'm saying? Like this is... You know, it's worth coming out." You know, it's almost like if you hear a good song, like, "Hey, hey guys."
- JRJoe Rogan
Right, right. (laughs)
- TVTheo Von
So we went out, and, uh, the guy s- leaned too close on the window and fell right through the fucking pane glass, dude.
- JRJoe Rogan
No.
- TVTheo Von
Cut himself up, and then all of a sudden it's all exposed and they're in there. Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh my God.
- TVTheo Von
Oh, it was fricking... I felt bad for everybody.
- JRJoe Rogan
How was he leaning like that where he broke the window?
- TVTheo Von
It was cheap windows. It was a college apartment complex.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh.
- TVTheo Von
Like, probably single pane glass.
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.
- TVTheo Von
Like, everything in there was cheap because people just broke it all the time.
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- TVTheo Von
You know?
- 8:12 – 11:37
Landlords, rent moratorium fallout, and universal basic income incentives
- JRJoe Rogan
Can you imagine being a landlord for a bunch of college kids?
- TVTheo Von
Never.
- JRJoe Rogan
Ugh. Imagine being a landlord today, because so many people, there was rent protection during the pandemic and people are still like, "Nah, not paying."
- TVTheo Von
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Like, I know a guy who has not collected rent from this one person for three fucking years. And he's like, "I can't get rid of them. I don't know what to do. I'm not making any money. Like, I have to pay the mortgage and I'm not making any money off of rent."
- TVTheo Von
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
"And I- I can't rent it out to anybody else."
- TVTheo Von
Ugh.
- JRJoe Rogan
"And I can't get rid of them." And the lady has a job. The lady has a job. She goes to work every day and won't pay rent.
- TVTheo Von
Oh, that's... She shouldn't do that.
- JRJoe Rogan
No. But there's like, in Los Angeles, there's rent protection.
- TVTheo Von
Oh yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
I don't know if that's still in place. Is that still in place? Do you know?
- TVTheo Von
There's a TV show about bad people that do renting. There's also, um, I saw a... Oh, I had a tenant that stayed in a apartment that I had in New Orleans for two months and just didn't pay any rent. Thankfully it was only two months, but it was just nothing you could do. You know, by the time you have to go like to this... It's just like a- it's-
- JRJoe Rogan
Did you own an apartment building?
- TVTheo Von
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
You did?
- TVTheo Von
Not a building.
- JRJoe Rogan
Apartment?
- TVTheo Von
One apartment.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh really?
- TVTheo Von
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
And you rented it out-
- TVTheo Von
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
... and they wouldn't pay rent?
- TVTheo Von
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Okay. Most people, they have shame and like, if you fuck with them and keep... They- they- they want to either get out of there or they just want to pay you and get it over with, but some people are shameless. And this lady that this guy I know is running out to is totally shameless.
- TVTheo Von
Was she, um... Do you think she was doing like, uh, some type of, like, secret work and she doesn't want, she didn't want like... Do you... Like, what do you think the reason was?
- JRJoe Rogan
I think she would like to spend her money on other things.
- TVTheo Von
Yeah.
- 11:37 – 17:05
Crime fantasies, real shootouts, and the ‘good guy with a gun’ argument
- TVTheo Von
Dude, one time I was on this bus, man. I used to go work at this farm in the summer. And so I would take the bus up there to Graham and they had this dude on there, he's sitting on there and, uh, next to me and he's like, "Hey, you want to see something?"
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- TVTheo Von
And I thought it was gonna be his dick, you know.
- JRJoe Rogan
His dick. (laughs)
- TVTheo Von
Because, you know, it's a freaking Graham bus.
- JRJoe Rogan
What if he says-
- TVTheo Von
And...
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. You want to see something, it's either a human head-
- TVTheo Von
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
... or a dick. (laughs) He pulls a head out of a bag.
- TVTheo Von
(laughs) Either way, you're getting a hit, bro.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- TVTheo Von
But, and, and I said no the first couple times, but the trip got longer and I was like, "All right, fuck it." You know? "Yeah, I'll see it." He opened up, he had a bag of jewelry and a gun. He had robbed a, uh, a jewelry store before he got on the bus.
- JRJoe Rogan
Jesus Christ.
- TVTheo Von
And showed it.
- JRJoe Rogan
And he wanted you to see it?
- TVTheo Von
He just wanted, yeah, I think he wanted to kind of take some of the pressure off of him by sharing it with somebody else, you know?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah?
- TVTheo Von
So suddenly ... Yeah, I think he may- he's like, you know, "I've got an accomplice," or something. And then he even said like, "Oh, we should get off at this next stop." And I'm like, "I'm not in this shit."
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs) He's gonna throw the bag at you and call the cops.
- TVTheo Von
(laughs) Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
"I found him!" (laughs)
- TVTheo Von
(laughs) He might've had a good idea. Maybe so.
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, that's a lot of people that commit crimes like that. They're kind of not that wired right.
- TVTheo Von
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
You know? They're kind of screwball.
- TVTheo Von
Would you ever want to do a good crime?
- JRJoe Rogan
I would want to do a good crime.
- TVTheo Von
A fucking bank robbery?
- JRJoe Rogan
Like a crazy bank robbery.
- 17:05 – 24:25
Red dots, home defense choices, and zombie-weapon logic
- JRJoe Rogan
... it depends entirely on whether or not this guy has a red dot, um, and how much he's trained. If he has a red dot, it's considerably easier to, to hit what you're aiming at because a red dot, when you pull out a pistol ... Excuse me here. (clears throat) I think that, um, smelly salt's fucked me up.
- TVTheo Von
Really? I like that.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, mine ... Is it fucked you up too, Jamie?
- NANarrator
I didn't s- I didn't go all the way. (scoffs)
- JRJoe Rogan
I went all in.
- NANarrator
I still never-
- JRJoe Rogan
I went, I took the biggest, deepest whiff.
- NANarrator
Oh, yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
And it was immediately ... I was punished for that.
- NANarrator
It felt heavier than normal. (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
(coughs)
- NANarrator
It's the hot in there.
- JRJoe Rogan
It was way worse because it was just right when he pulled the seal off, but it ... anyway, my whole throat is like (sniffs) confused. Uh, but a red dot, like, when you draw and you have a red dot-
- TVTheo Von
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
... the red dot will show you exactly where that bullet's gonna go.
- TVTheo Von
And when it turns green, is that when you shoot?
- JRJoe Rogan
No, no, no. It's just red. It stays red.
- TVTheo Von
Okay.
- JRJoe Rogan
It's just, it's just ... You know how in place of the iron sights? Like, the iron sights you have, like, on a gun-
- TVTheo Von
Oh, yeah. The little thing like that?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, the little thing and then in between it is, like, you put the, the little dot that's on the end of the pistol and you line the two of them up and you shoot.
- TVTheo Von
(sighs)
- JRJoe Rogan
With a red dot, you don't have to do that. You just pull it out and it's a s- like, a, a sight, and in that sight, there's a red dot. Wherever that red dot is, that's where that bullet's gonna go.
- TVTheo Von
Damn.
- JRJoe Rogan
So-
- TVTheo Von
And how accurate is that? How much times?
- JRJoe Rogan
It depends entirely on whether or not you've sighted in the gun properly. But if you've sighted in the gun properly, it's very accurate, especially if you have a really good gun like a Staccato or a SIG, or, you know, some top end.
- TVTheo Von
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
GLOCK, high-end gun. So if this guy knew what he was doing, clearly he did, if he hit that guy from 40 yards away eight times at y- with 10 shots, that fucking guy can shoot.
- TVTheo Von
Damn.
- 24:25 – 32:16
Vampires, old movies, and why immortality is romantic
- TVTheo Von
Um, what about Bram Stoker's Dracula? Do you remember that movie?
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, fuck yeah.Fuck, yeah.
So fucking good, dude.
Fuck, yeah. That was a good movie, man. That was the best movie.
God, it was good.
The best, best vampire movie, rather. That was, that was really good.
Remember how scared you used to get when you were a kid? Did you ever get fucking really scared?
Oh, yeah, man. Yeah, little kids are vulnerable. Scared ... y- you think vampires might be real, maybe people don't know. Especially when we were kids, there was no fucking internet.
Yeah.
So-
You just ask somebody. If they were dumb, then you were dumb.
People would tell you the ghosts were real, Bigfoot's real-
Yeah.
... everything. Yeah. Gary Oldman was the best Dracula. He was good in that-
Yeah.
... Bram Stoker's Dracula. He was good.
Yeah.
He played old Dracula, remember? He played Dracula with the white crazy hair and the wig.
Mm, let me think. Like can we see a image of it?
Yeah. He, he was a bunch of different like ages in that movie 'cause like depending on how much blood he got, he w- if he got the good blood, he would come back to life again.
Oh. He got more young.
Yeah. Do you remember?
Oh, yeah. Fuck, yeah.
Like there was, there was a scene where he was like very, very old.
Mm.
And he met Keanu Reeves, remember?
I don't remember that good at the moment.
G- like something happened, I think he was shaving and-
Oh, yeah.
... uh, Keanu cut-
- 32:16 – 36:55
Aging, longevity tech, tall bodies, and fighter-pilot G-forces
- TVTheo Von
I wonder if there was a lot of, uh... I wonder if back then it was, if, um, if, like, people were more sexually active back then, you think?
- JRJoe Rogan
Um...
- TVTheo Von
In the past?
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, they probably fucked a lot more because they didn't live very long.
- TVTheo Von
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
Right? They probably just fucked whenever they could.
- TVTheo Von
What a pickup line.
- JRJoe Rogan
We're not gonna make it.
- TVTheo Von
(laughs) Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Let's just, let's just have a couple glasses of wine.
- TVTheo Von
(laughs) Yeah, like, "Hey, babe. The median age around here is 27." (laughs) "We gotta fucking hammer it down."
- JRJoe Rogan
But a lot of that was because people died young.
- TVTheo Von
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Like, they died... There was a lot of, uh, infant mortality. That was a big, big issue. Like, when you look at the actual age that people died back then, some people lived to be a ripe old age. But it was pretty rare.
- TVTheo Von
And a lot of infants, um... I guess a lot of infants just weren't that powerful? Or what was the deal with it?
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, they didn't have medicine.
- TVTheo Von
Oh.
- JRJoe Rogan
So if they got sick, they died.
- TVTheo Von
Oh, yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
You know, or if, you know, a lot of women died during childbirth-
- TVTheo Von
Ugh.
- JRJoe Rogan
... 'cause if there was complications. You know, now they save so many more people.
- TVTheo Von
Do you think we're supposed to be living as long as we are? Or do you think, like, Mother Nature's like, "Oh, fuck, these people are hanging out too long"?
- JRJoe Rogan
I don't think there's no supposed to. I think if... Biologically, we're supposed to live to be roughly 100 years.
- TVTheo Von
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
If everything goes great. If everything goes perfectly, you'll, you'll live to be about 100 years. But I think that with modern science and our understanding of genes and hormones and, you know, telemeters and all the, the different anti-aging technologies they're working on right now, we're probably, right now, talking to people that are going to live to be 150 years old.
- TVTheo Von
Damn.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, I think, like, you're, you're seeing people today. Like, if you meet a guy and he's 30 years old today, that guy's probably gonna live to be 150.
- TVTheo Von
That's crazy.
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, people live to be 120. There's, that's a rare thing, but there's been some women that have made it to, like, 120.

Comedy ecosystem: Nashville vs LA, reps, and Theo’s ‘next level’ breakthrough
- TVTheo Von
Do you, uh, miss it? Do you miss The Comedy Store?

- JRJoe Rogan
No, I'm excited.
- TVTheo Von
That's cool.
- JRJoe Rogan
I'm real excited.
- 52:45 – 1:00:02
Family, food, and dark Americana: grandmothers, Depression survival, and cannibalism media
- TVTheo Von
I wouldn't. I'll actually-
- JRJoe Rogan
Can you imagine the leap you have to take to kill your grandma? Like, your grandma is, like, this sweet lady you come to visit every now and again.
- TVTheo Von
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
And she bakes cookies and shit. My grandmother used to make Italian food. Oh my god, it was-
- TVTheo Von
Really?
- JRJoe Rogan
... off the charts. Off the charts, 'cause it was all homemade. She'd make ... I- I still to this day can taste her homemade pasta, 'cause sh- they would- she would do everything on the kitchen table with the flour, and she would make the noodles-
- TVTheo Von
Ooh.
- JRJoe Rogan
... and everything. She would make the tomato sauce with the tomatoes that my grandfather grew in the garden.
- TVTheo Von
Come on, man.
- JRJoe Rogan
It was insanity.
- TVTheo Von
That's romantic.
- JRJoe Rogan
It was insanity.
- TVTheo Von
That's romantic.
- JRJoe Rogan
It was insanity. That food was so good. That food ruined me as a child.
- TVTheo Von
Gosh.
- JRJoe Rogan
'Cause I'd go other places, I'm like, "Why is your Italian food bullshit?"
- TVTheo Von
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
You know?
- TVTheo Von
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
'Cause my grandmother made everything. She made her own meatballs. It was sensational.
- TVTheo Von
Yeah, there's something ... When somebody makes something-
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm-hmm.
- TVTheo Von
... there's, like, an energy that goes into it and it's different.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
- TVTheo Von
Even if it's shitty, you're still like, "Hey, this is-"
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
- TVTheo Von
You know, they took some time to do it.
- JRJoe Rogan
And my grandmother was proud of it too. She would ... When she would serve us, she would come out with this big smile on her face. She knew everybody was gonna feast. She knew that Italian food was gonna knock your fucking socks off.
- TVTheo Von
Fuck, yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
It was so good.
- 1:00:02 – 1:14:24
Wild nature footage and the return to primal instincts (hawks, eagles, bears)
- JRJoe Rogan
And birds? Birds are some of the meanest fucking animals. Have you seen that video that's going around of the bird-
- TVTheo Von
No.
- JRJoe Rogan
... that's eating an antelope alive? Have you seen that?
- TVTheo Von
You think they're mean?
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, they're vicious. They're so horri- they're so fucking horrible.
- TVTheo Von
Why, do you think 'cause they can't be on the ground as much as other animals, easily?
- JRJoe Rogan
I just think they're reptiles. They're flying reptiles.
- TVTheo Von
Are they more reptile?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. I mean, what a bird is, is a dinosaur. They're flying dinosaurs.
- NANarrator
This?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. Look at this. This eagle is riding this antelope's back and just ... It's got its claws dug into its back-
- TVTheo Von
Wow.
- JRJoe Rogan
... so you see all the blood pouring off the back.
- TVTheo Von
No, it's bleeding.
- JRJoe Rogan
And it's just digging into its body, 'cause those claws, the talons that an eagle has, are so powerful.... so it's just riding this thing and then eating out of its ribcage-
- TVTheo Von
(gasps)
- JRJoe Rogan
... while it's just slowly dying. And that, that antelope can't do a goddamn thing to get away. There's nothing it could do.
- TVTheo Von
It's like one of those moving buffets that you're at. You ever been to one of those? One of those-
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, God, that's
- NANarrator
Oh.
