   3. WCWhitney Cummings0:13

      I love that.

   4. JRJoe Rogan0:13

      What do you love? Oh, the, the-

   5. WCWhitney Cummings0:15

      Yeah, what is that?

   6. JRJoe Rogan0:16

      It's an NFT, sort of. It's, like, digital art. It's Beeple. Do you know who Beeple is?

   7. WCWhitney Cummings0:20

      I lo- He's-

   8. JRJoe Rogan0:21

      He's the best.

   9. WCWhitney Cummings0:21

      ... brilliant.

   10. JRJoe Rogan0:22

       Every day-

   11. WCWhitney Cummings0:23

       Brilliant.

   12. JRJoe Rogan0:23

       ... that guy puts out a new piece.

   13. WCWhitney Cummings0:24

       Insane. And it's computer generated, but does he go in and, like, paint it?

   14. JRJoe Rogan0:28

       I don't understand how it works, but there's something involving computers. (laughs)

   15. WCWhitney Cummings0:33

       They should, I think ... (laughs)

   16. JRJoe Rogan0:34

       (laughs)

   17. WCWhitney Cummings0:35

       I think there's a PalmPilot. Um-

   18. JRJoe Rogan0:37

       I think. (laughs)

   19. WCWhitney Cummings0:38

       Uh, I w- think every time I see one of his pieces on Instagram, like, you know, there'll be a sweeping sort of dystopian city.

   20. JRJoe Rogan0:44

       Look at the new one. (laughs) What the fuck is that? (laughs)

   21. WCWhitney Cummings0:47

       This is gonna give me nightmares for a while. I mean-

   22. JRJoe Rogan0:50

       This is ... But s- the hair on b- I got hairy legs.

   23. WCWhitney Cummings0:54

       But wait, are these-

   24. JRJoe Rogan0:55

       Biden.

   25. WCWhitney Cummings0:55

       Why are ... They look raspberries, but those are germs?

   26. JRJoe Rogan0:58

       I think, yeah. See, it says mild symptoms. That's what it's called.

   27. WCWhitney Cummings1:01

       Oh, funny. (laughs)

   28. JRJoe Rogan1:01

       He's just such a character too. He's a really fun guy. You, you, you, would enjoy him on your podcast.

   29. WCWhitney Cummings1:06

       My uterus right now. Um-

   30. JRJoe Rogan1:08

       Wow.
2. 15:00 – 30:00

   Mm-mm. …

   1. JRJoe Rogan15:00

      to do comedy.

   2. WCWhitney Cummings15:01

      Mm-mm.

   3. JRJoe Rogan15:01

      You know, it's just not, unless you have a really good bit about it. I mean, if you have a really good Roe v. Wade bit, yeah, great. But if you're just bringing it up to say, "You know, we're in a bad time right now, and this fucking Roe v. Wade makes my goddamn blood boil." Yay. (clapping) Yay.

   4. WCWhitney Cummings15:21

      That is why I called the special Jokes.

   5. JRJoe Rogan15:25

      (laughs) Oh, is that what-

   6. WCWhitney Cummings15:25

      It's called-

   7. JRJoe Rogan15:25

      ... you called it?

   8. WCWhitney Cummings15:25

      ... Jokes.

   9. JRJoe Rogan15:26

      Really?

   10. WCWhitney Cummings15:26

       Becau-

   11. JRJoe Rogan15:26

       That's a great name.

   12. WCWhitney Cummings15:27

       ... Jokes.

   13. JRJoe Rogan15:28

       Yeah.

   14. WCWhitney Cummings15:28

       And I know s- you know, uh, y- people tend to, you know, overthink their titles sometimes. I think for the most part, nobody remembers any of the titles. They're like-

   15. JRJoe Rogan15:35

       Right.

   16. WCWhitney Cummings15:35

       ... "Oh, it's the third one. It was the one where he was in, uh, in Chicago at the theater," right, you know?

   17. JRJoe Rogan15:39

       Right.

   18. WCWhitney Cummings15:40

       But, um, I really wanted to let people know that, you know, I'm not gonna t- lecture you on how to vote. I'm not gonna bring you in, promising you comedy, and then do a secret TED Talk halfway through-

   19. JRJoe Rogan15:49

       (laughs)

   20. WCWhitney Cummings15:49

       ... where I am vulnerable and talk-

   21. JRJoe Rogan15:52

       Uh-oh.

   22. WCWhitney Cummings15:52

       ... about my abusive childhood.

   23. JRJoe Rogan15:54

       Yeah.

   24. WCWhitney Cummings15:54

       Like, I'm just trying to make you laugh. I am a clown, and I take that very seriously. And I think there's just been this thing where comedians now feel like they have to be... weigh in on everything.

   25. JRJoe Rogan16:04

       You know why? Twitter.

   26. WCWhitney Cummings16:06

       Yeah.

   27. JRJoe Rogan16:07

       That's what it is.

   28. WCWhitney Cummings16:08

       Yeah.

   29. JRJoe Rogan16:08

       That's why I don't go on it. There's people are all toxic. They're outta their fucking minds.

   30. WCWhitney Cummings16:13

       (laughs) Have you seen Norm MacDonald's new special?
3. 30:00 – 45:00

   (sighs) . …

   1. JRJoe Rogan30:00

      scientist who didn't buy into that Epstein stuff and wouldn't go to the meetings and stuff like that. And he said-

   2. WCWhitney Cummings30:06

      (sighs) .

   3. JRJoe Rogan30:06

      ... he was really d- shocked at how little money he actually donated.

   4. WCWhitney Cummings30:11

      Interesting.

   5. JRJoe Rogan30:12

      Yeah, he goes, "It wasn't that much money." He goes, it was really like he, he was, more than that, he was bringing them to parties.

   6. WCWhitney Cummings30:20

      (sighs) .

   7. JRJoe Rogan30:20

      Like, it was a, it was an intelligence operation. Whoever was running it, whether it was, uh, the Mossad or whether it was the CIA or whether it was a combination of both-

   8. WCWhitney Cummings30:31

      Mm-hmm.

   9. JRJoe Rogan30:31

      ... it was an intelligence operation. They were bringing in people and compromising them. And then when they would compromise them, they would use, you know, whatever they had on them to influence their opinions and the way they express those opinions.And I don't know why they would wanna do that with scientists, which is really strange to me.

   10. WCWhitney Cummings30:52

       (laughs) Epstein's like, "I need you to do a study about how 15-year-old girls are adults."

   11. JRJoe Rogan30:57

       Right.

   12. WCWhitney Cummings30:57

       "They're more mature than we thought."

   13. JRJoe Rogan30:59

       (laughs)

   14. NANarrator30:59

       (laughs)

   15. WCWhitney Cummings30:59

       Um, uh, but if a scientist donates ... I'm sorry. If a rich person donates to a scientist, do they have any ability to weigh in? Or they're just like, "Here's a, I get no decisions about how this money's spent."

   16. JRJoe Rogan31:15

       It's a very good question. I don't know. I don't know. I mean, I would imagine the money goes ... Like, if you have a research grant, right? And say, like, you're working on a cure for leukemia or something like that. You know, you find established scientists that are working on this thing, and then you, you allocate money so that they can work on projects. Whether or not the person who donates the money has any influence on how that money is spent, I'd doubt it. I highly dou- ... I don't, I don't think legitimate scientists would ad- adhere to that.

   17. WCWhitney Cummings31:45

       Allow that.

   18. JRJoe Rogan31:45

       Yeah.

   19. WCWhitney Cummings31:45

       Yeah. 'Cause I mean, I know that just my, you know, if you're shooting an independent movie that has investors, Russian investors, Saudi investors, like, you have to hang out with them.

   20. JRJoe Rogan31:54

       Oh, really?

   21. WCWhitney Cummings31:54

       Oh, yeah.

   22. JRJoe Rogan31:55

       Oh, boring.

   23. WCWhitney Cummings31:55

       They're at Vimeo Village, like, it's kinda the, it's like, you have to flirt with them.

   24. JRJoe Rogan31:59

       Here, here it says, uh, "Epstein regularly visited, had card key access to, and was provided a designated office space within the Program in Evolutionary Dynamics until 2018." So that means they, they gave him that at Harvard after he had been arrested for fucking underage girls.

   25. WCWhitney Cummings32:19

       Had an office?

   26. JRJoe Rogan32:20

       Yeah. "Granting him that level of access raises serious questions about the compliance with Harvard's policies, and beginning in 2017, about whether or not the professor Nowak acted in deliberate circumvention of Harvard security procedures."

   27. WCWhitney Cummings32:34

       So-

   28. JRJoe Rogan32:34

       So he was arrested and did, he'd already did time by then, which is crazy.

   29. WCWhitney Cummings32:40

       It's also like, at first I was like, "Oh God, he was on campus with all these-"

   30. JRJoe Rogan32:43

       Mm-hmm.
4. 45:00 – 1:00:00

   Who's the girl from…

   1. WCWhitney Cummings45:00

      be deterred from doing it. I don't know.

   2. JRJoe Rogan45:01

      Who's the girl from Hunger Games? Some of her f- a bunch of her stuff.

   3. WCWhitney Cummings45:03

      Jennifer Lawrence.

   4. JRJoe Rogan45:04

      Yeah, a bunch of her stuff got leaked, right?

   5. WCWhitney Cummings45:06

      Mm-hmm. Yeah.

   6. JRJoe Rogan45:07

      And people got in trouble for that.

   7. WCWhitney Cummings45:07

      And the... G- yeah. I mean, as, as they should. And the o- the interesting thing about it is it doesn't feel like it hurt her in any way, 'cause if you-

   8. JRJoe Rogan45:13

      No.

   9. WCWhitney Cummings45:13

      ... admit you looked at it, you're kinda the weirdo, so it's like no one will really admit that they looked at it.

   10. JRJoe Rogan45:17

       Well, it's one thing if you do porn on purpose, and it's another thing if you do something in the privacy of your own home-

   11. WCWhitney Cummings45:22

       Yeah.

   12. JRJoe Rogan45:22

       ... and it gets leaked.

   13. WCWhitney Cummings45:23

       Yeah.

   14. JRJoe Rogan45:23

       Like, this is the Kim Kardashian dilemma, 'cause, like, did she leak that, or did that get leaked, you know?

   15. WCWhitney Cummings45:30

       Mm-hmm.

   16. JRJoe Rogan45:30

       'Cause if she was doing porn-

   17. WCWhitney Cummings45:31

       Or what's she leaking?

   18. JRJoe Rogan45:32

       ... on purpose, p- ah.

   19. WCWhitney Cummings45:34

       (laughs) Sorry. Sorry.

   20. JRJoe Rogan45:37

       We'll just call it Liam Neesoning.

   21. WCWhitney Cummings45:38

       (laughs)

   22. JRJoe Rogan45:39

       If she, if she leaked it on purpose, then it's like, "Okay, well, are you a porn star?" Like, "What are you doing?" But if you get, if it gets leaked, like, "I can't believe this. This is crazy." Like, then you're a victim-

   23. WCWhitney Cummings45:52

       So, you-

   24. JRJoe Rogan45:52

       ... and it's okay.

   25. WCWhitney Cummings45:52

       You came up to me at the Comedy Store once, and, um, I had done the bit about my nude, my boob getting leaked. Remember that bit that I, I d- It's in my special.

   26. JRJoe Rogan46:01

       Yes.

   27. WCWhitney Cummings46:02

       I talked about my, um, I took, uh, uh... I was on edibles in my bathtub one night.

   28. JRJoe Rogan46:07

       (laughs)

   29. WCWhitney Cummings46:07

       F- fucking idiot. I can't do edibles, Joe. I ca- I ca- I don't have the personality for 'em.

   30. JRJoe Rogan46:12

       (laughs)
5. 1:00:00 – 1:08:42

   Do you enjoy gambling?…

   1. JRJoe Rogan1:00:00

      financial equivalent to 600,000 American dollars.

   2. WCWhitney Cummings1:00:04

      Do you enjoy gambling?

   3. JRJoe Rogan1:00:05

      No. Um, I'm not a gambler. Uh, I mean, I, I enjoy it a little bit.

   4. WCWhitney Cummings1:00:10

      Mm-hmm.

   5. JRJoe Rogan1:00:10

      When, um, we went out with you to Vegas, my wife and I did some gambling.

   6. WCWhitney Cummings1:00:13

      Did you?

   7. JRJoe Rogan1:00:14

      Yeah, but we just got bored. We were just playing blackjack. We both suck.

   8. WCWhitney Cummings1:00:17

      Do you feel like there's any, like, like, what is the skill? Like, I dated a, a guy who's a poker player, and like, a lot of it is being able to just kind of read people and act. You're kinda acting the whole time, right, if you're really playing?

   9. JRJoe Rogan1:00:30

      Well, Ar- Ari's a really good poker player.

   10. WCWhitney Cummings1:00:32

       That makes sense.

   11. JRJoe Rogan1:00:32

       And Ari used to actually, when he was first becoming a comedian in LA, he would make his living by playing in poker tournaments.

   12. WCWhitney Cummings1:00:40

       Cool.

   13. JRJoe Rogan1:00:40

       And he made money. Like, he would win poker tournaments-

   14. WCWhitney Cummings1:00:43

       Mm-hmm.

   15. JRJoe Rogan1:00:44

       ... and place and, and cash in poker tournaments. It's a skill.

   16. WCWhitney Cummings1:00:47

       Yeah.

   17. JRJoe Rogan1:00:47

       Like, you, you have to know when to hold, when to fold, and you, you know, y- to know what to do is based on, you know, theory. It's based on the amount of people that have done it that have been successful. There's many books on it-

   18. WCWhitney Cummings1:01:01

       Mm-hmm.

   19. JRJoe Rogan1:01:01

       ... many online things on it. But it's so, it's, a certain amount of it is based on intuition as well.

   20. WCWhitney Cummings1:01:06

       Right.

   21. JRJoe Rogan1:01:06

       But-

   22. WCWhitney Cummings1:01:07

       Being able to, like, f- re-

   23. JRJoe Rogan1:01:08

       Yeah.

   24. WCWhitney Cummings1:01:08

       ... feel other people's-

   25. JRJoe Rogan1:01:10

       Yeah, but like, Ari would go to, like, the bicycle club, those places, and like Bellflower-

   26. WCWhitney Cummings1:01:14

       Sure. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

   27. JRJoe Rogan1:01:14

       ... and a bunch of degenerates and-

   28. WCWhitney Cummings1:01:15

       Bicycle Casino. Yeah. I mean-

   29. JRJoe Rogan1:01:17

       Yeah.

   30. WCWhitney Cummings1:01:17

       ... I, my f- friend used to go down there all the time, really creative dude, um, produced, uh, my special with me, Nick Krulzon, and he's brilliant, and he, uh, he would go down there, and he was like, "I'm, I don't know if I'm addicted to the game or the conversations."
