Yeah.
- MNMark Normand
Yes. Yes, we're up.
- ASAri Shaffir
It's... And, hey-
- MNMark Normand
I'm the only one without sunglasses, what the fuck?
- ASAri Shaffir
It's just easy to hide behind something.
- MNMark Normand
I'm here alone.
- ASAri Shaffir
It's like a poker game.
- MNMark Normand
No sunglasses. (yawns)
- SGShane Gillis
You gotta get 'em, bro.
- MNMark Normand
They're in my car. I'm not going.
- ASAri Shaffir
Have a second pair. If you want some- Call one of your goons.
- MNMark Normand
I just feel the f- the, the place up here with clouds. I can't see.
- SGShane Gillis
All right, give him yours. Yours are cool.
- ASAri Shaffir
Mine are cool.
- MNMark Normand
They are nice? They look like Bosworth glasses.
- SGShane Gillis
Joe would look cool in those too if he tried them on.
- ASAri Shaffir
Joe, try those on. You'd look nice.
- MNMark Normand
Nice.
- SGShane Gillis
Hit vipers, dude.
- MNMark Normand
Like I live in Florida.
- ASAri Shaffir
Ours in Key West.
- SGShane Gillis
Oh, yeah, with that bald head? You'd fucking bring someone to justice with that.
- MNMark Normand
Fuck yeah, bro!
- ASAri Shaffir
Whoa. (laughs)
- SGShane Gillis
(laughs)
- MNMark Normand
Fuck yeah, bro!

Florida and Key West as the ultimate escape hatch
- ASAri Shaffir
Can I get the, uh, circumcision?
- SGShane Gillis
Florida's a good place. I was just down there.
- MNMark Normand
To Key West it was.
- ASAri Shaffir
Oh, shit.
- SGShane Gillis
I'd like to be there.
- ASAri Shaffir
That's amazing.
- MNMark Normand
How about it, guys?
- SGShane Gillis
Let's move to Florida.
- MNMark Normand
(laughs)
- SGShane Gillis
Let's start this over and move there.
- MNMark Normand
Florida is where you move to when everything goes terrible.
- SGShane Gillis
Yeah.
- ASAri Shaffir
Key West.
- MNMark Normand
If, like, if everything goes bad in Texas, you move to Florida. If, like, Beto O'Rourke becomes governor, and everything-
- ASAri Shaffir
What? He's got a skateboard.
- MNMark Normand
... slides. He does, I'm sure. And everything slides into oblivion, you go to Florida.
- SGShane Gillis
Yeah, you go to Florida.
- MNMark Normand
Florida is like the last stand before you just move to South America.
- SGShane Gillis
And Key West is the last of Florida.
- MNMark Normand
Yeah.
- ASAri Shaffir
Exactly.
- MNMark Normand
Before you get a compound in Mexico, you go to Florida.
- SGShane Gillis
Yeah.
- ASAri Shaffir
Key West is the jizz coming out of the dick.
- SGShane Gillis
Yep.
- ASAri Shaffir
That's it.
- SGShane Gillis
Yep.
- MNMark Normand
Mm.
- ASAri Shaffir
It's over right on the bottom.
- MNMark Normand
I've never been to Key West.
- 4:05 – 7:38
Hemingway’s Key West house, polydactyl cats, and CTE speculation
- MNMark Normand
Did you go to, you go to Hemingway's house?
- SGShane Gillis
Went to Hemingway's house?
- MNMark Normand
Yeah, it's pretty neat.
- SGShane Gillis
Yeah.
- MNMark Normand
You see all the cats with thumbs.
- SGShane Gillis
He ruled it. Mm-hmm.
- ASAri Shaffir
Yes!
- SGShane Gillis
The one has seven.
- MNMark Normand
It's great.
- SGShane Gillis
They just have like, the cat, they got-
- MNMark Normand
How does that happen?
- SGShane Gillis
Breeding.
- MNMark Normand
Is it overbreeding?
- SGShane Gillis
Breeding them on purpose.
- ASAri Shaffir
Inbreeding.
- MNMark Normand
Oh, on top, on purpose to make those thumbs.
- ASAri Shaffir
No.
- SGShane Gillis
Hemingway cats, yeah.
- MNMark Normand
Yeah.
- ASAri Shaffir
How cute.
- SGShane Gillis
Pretty great.
- MNMark Normand
That's Hemingway's cats?
- SGShane Gillis
Yeah, we touched them, pet them.
- MNMark Normand
No shit.
- SGShane Gillis
Yeah, they're everywhere. It's pretty fun.
- ASAri Shaffir
That's scary. Look how big that is.
- MNMark Normand
So you can... Is there like a tour of his house you do?
- SGShane Gillis
Yeah.
- MNMark Normand
It's awesome.
- SGShane Gillis
It's awesome.
- 7:38 – 10:31
Coyotes in cities: Central Park sightings and backyard predator stories
- JRJoe Rogan
Have you ever seen a coyote in Central Park?
- SGShane Gillis
No, I've seen them in LA.
- JRJoe Rogan
Have you? They ... Apparently they have them in Central Park now.
- MNMark Normand
What?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, yeah. There's all these photos of coyotes in Central Park.
- NANarrator
Coyotes?
- MNMark Normand
Maybe, like, the homeless thing.
- JRJoe Rogan
They, they're a weird animal.
- NANarrator
Up in the brambles?
- JRJoe Rogan
Like, as they get persecuted, they move out and branch out their, their territory.
- MNMark Normand
It's like Jews.
- NANarrator
Jews, yeah.
- MNMark Normand
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, I was gonna say, it reminds me of something.
- SGShane Gillis
Yeah.
- MNMark Normand
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, they were attacked by the, the gray wolves-
- NANarrator
Haven't been back to Poland in a while.
- JRJoe Rogan
The, the gray wolves and them are not related. They're the, like, the one animal ... Like, when they have chi-wolves, like, when they ... A coyote and a wolf breed, it's always a red wolf.
- MNMark Normand
Mm.
- JRJoe Rogan
So it's an eastern wolf.
- NANarrator
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
So the western wolves, the gray wolves, the ones that they killed off and then they're bringing them back 'cause they're idiots. They're bringing them back from Canada, like, (laughs) reintroducing wolves.
- SGShane Gillis
Just letting them out in Manhatten.
- JRJoe Rogan
It's such a terrible idea, but, uh, the gray wolves used to kill the coyotes, so, so the coyotes, when the wolves were killing them, they would, uh, have more babies, so the females, whenever they do roll call and they scream out in the night, if one of them is missing, it causes the female to have extra pups.
- SGShane Gillis
No.
- MNMark Normand
Oh, no.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- MNMark Normand
Whoa.
- JRJoe Rogan
It was a great book called Coyote America by Dan Flores. I, I had him, had him on the podcast.
- 10:31 – 11:56
Javelinas, wild pigs, and why their teeth are terrifying
- MNMark Normand
You see those monkeys?
- JRJoe Rogan
I would say the-
- SGShane Gillis
Yeah, they're fun.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- SGShane Gillis
When me and, uh-
- NANarrator
Is that in Florida?
- SGShane Gillis
When I was with Stanhope in ... When I was staying at Stanhope's, you know, me and him were drinking. We'd go around, like, walking around at night. There'd be fucking javelinas everywhere.
- JRJoe Rogan
Javelinas killed his neighbor's dog.
- SGShane Gillis
And they would ... They fucked people up.
- MNMark Normand
For real?
- NANarrator
What's a javelina?
- JRJoe Rogan
They fucked up his neighbor's dog.
- SGShane Gillis
This wild pig that's, like, blind.
- MNMark Normand
Whoa.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- NANarrator
Oh.
- SGShane Gillis
It's fucking crazy.
- JRJoe Rogan
They didn't ... They don't have such good vision, but neither do regular wild pigs.
- NANarrator
Oh, really?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, they just ... They operate by smell mostly. Smell and sound. They, they don't see very well. If you pause-
- NANarrator
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Like, if you're sneaking up on one and you just pause, they just ... They give up on looking at you and then they start eating the ground.
- MNMark Normand
Whoa.
- SGShane Gillis
Yeah, those boys are running around. It's pretty fun.
- MNMark Normand
Holy moly.
- JRJoe Rogan
I shot one of those in South Texas a couple months ago.
- NANarrator
Nice.
- MNMark Normand
I bet they taste good.
- JRJoe Rogan
It turned into chorizo.
- MNMark Normand
Hell yeah.
- 11:56 – 15:25
Safari danger videos and relationship fight tactics
- MNMark Normand
Uh, I was in Safari and a leopard walked by the Jeep and it went-
- SGShane Gillis
Holy shit.
- MNMark Normand
... uh, uh, uh, uh.
- SGShane Gillis
(laughs)
- MNMark Normand
And we were like, "Oh," and it was salivating like crazy and then-
- JRJoe Rogan
Whoa.
- MNMark Normand
... 20 seconds later in a bush you hear, "Uh."
- ASAri Shaffir
... and he went and fucked it.
No.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, he was in heat?
- ASAri Shaffir
Yeah. (laughs)
Oh, wow.
- NANarrator
God.
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs) Said he went and fucked it. (laughs)
- ASAri Shaffir
Wow.
That was a mating call.
- JRJoe Rogan
Wow, what a weird mating call. (choking)
- ASAri Shaffir
I've tried, it doesn't work.
That's, that's, that's the end.
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm.
- ASAri Shaffir
But safari is crazy 'cause the, the lions will walk right by you.
- JRJoe Rogan
Fuck that.
- ASAri Shaffir
And they just know not to eat you.
- JRJoe Rogan
Did you ever see that video, uh, of the lady? She's trying to take photos from the, the car with the windows rolled down, and the cat reaches in and grabs her and pulls her out of the car?
- ASAri Shaffir
Pull it up.
No. No.
It's in Africa, it's a lady, she's in the, the backseat of a car, and they tell you to keep your windows rolled up, and she just decides to roll it down to take photos, and this, this lion just pulls her out of the car. Whoa.
You saw the one with the Asian guy screaming at his wife getting all quiet?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- NANarrator
Yeah.
- 15:25 – 17:14
Whitesnake, guilty pleasures, and South Park skewering royals
- JRJoe Rogan
This is the same girl when I, I-
- ASAri Shaffir
You miss her? (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
I was in a car accident with her, and, uh, I had a, a, a Whitesnake video, a Whitesnake cassette in my car, and she made me leave it in the car. She's like, "D- don't take that."
- ASAri Shaffir
Why?
- JRJoe Rogan
'Cause I was taking my stuff to leave. She was like-
- ASAri Shaffir
Oh.
- JRJoe Rogan
... "You shouldn't be listening to that." Like she thought Whitesnake was stupid? << Here I go again on my own >>
- ASAri Shaffir
<< Here I go again on my own >>
- NANarrator
Yeah. Chaka-ching.
- JRJoe Rogan
She was into, like, intelligent music.
- ASAri Shaffir
Aha.
- JRJoe Rogan
She was smarter than me.
- ASAri Shaffir
Like what?
- JRJoe Rogan
I don't know. I don't remember.
- ASAri Shaffir
Crap.
- JRJoe Rogan
Some shit. Some Pixies or some shit.
- ASAri Shaffir
Classical.
- JRJoe Rogan
Some shit that shows people you're deep.
- ASAri Shaffir
Right. (laughs)
The Cure, yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Some shit. (laughs)
- ASAri Shaffir
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Some shit that's emotional.
- ASAri Shaffir
Marcy. I think that's a good point.
- JRJoe Rogan
Look, man, if you can't am- appreciate a good fucking Whitesnake video, it's fun.
- ASAri Shaffir
Ah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Doesn't mean it's the only thing you like. Like, you know, I like ice cream too.
- ASAri Shaffir
Yeah.
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
I like other stuff. I like stuff.
- 17:14 – 22:33
Royal family money, The Crown fatigue, and Irish/British history tension
- ASAri Shaffir
That would be an intense level of white guilt, if they just started working-
- JRJoe Rogan
Be like, "Fuck, I'm British royalty."
- NANarrator
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Like, "Damn."
- ASAri Shaffir
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
"We did some bad stuff." (laughs)
- ASAri Shaffir
She's half black.
- JRJoe Rogan
And then the wife convinces you to leave the royal family. Like, "I'm out."
- NANarrator
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
"I don't need you guys." Which is crazy, 'cause don't you just get free money? Like, of course.
- ASAri Shaffir
"Dude, get me my allowance now."
- JRJoe Rogan
What do you get when you're a royal?
- ASAri Shaffir
You get a stipend.
You get a sti- you get a bunch of cash.
- JRJoe Rogan
What's the stipend like?
- ASAri Shaffir
I'm sure it's a million a month.
- JRJoe Rogan
You spend it on anything you want?
- ASAri Shaffir
Yeah, what about the countesses?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- ASAri Shaffir
Do they get ca- do they get paid? Like less?
Yeah, all of them.
- JRJoe Rogan
Hmm, that's a good question, right? Like, what's the chart?
- ASAri Shaffir
How far down do you go-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- ASAri Shaffir
Hmm.
... before you're like, "You don't get a check no more"?
- JRJoe Rogan
What do you think you'd get if you were a prince? What do you think a prince gets?
- ASAri Shaffir
Oh, it's all jewels and rubies and shit.
All your bills paid?
- NANarrator
That's nice.
- 22:33 – 25:53
Pandas as diplomacy, national symbols, and anti-communism from lived experience
- JRJoe Rogan
We made it seem cool. But what percentage of celebrities come out of America worldwide? It's a fucking ... Gotta be a giant number.
- SGShane Gillis
Yeah.
- MNMark Normand
And if they don't, they come here. Like all the Canadian-
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, yeah.
- MNMark Normand
... funny people come here.
- SGShane Gillis
There's, like, three Chinese stars that ever got known here.
- MNMark Normand
Well, the K-pop is huge.
- SGShane Gillis
K-pop.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, they're huge over there. But, like, Jackie Chan, Bruce Lee.
- SGShane Gillis
Jackie Chan, exactly.

Dr. Ken. No. (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- MNMark Normand
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- MNMark Normand
The pandas. They're all China.
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- SGShane Gillis
Pandas.
- JRJoe Rogan
Pand- Bobby Lee. (laughs)
- MNMark Normand
(laughs)
- SGShane Gillis
Uh, who else?
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- MNMark Normand
You know China leases us pandas?
- JRJoe Rogan
They lease them. No.
- 25:53 – 34:44
East Palestine derailment, chemical fears, and false-flag paranoia
- SGShane Gillis
What is going on in East Palestine right now?
I think we might be getting hit with it.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, I mean, that...
- SGShane Gillis
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Do you see the videos of people throwing rocks into the water just to see-
- SGShane Gillis
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
... the oil slicks that pool up?
- SGShane Gillis
Yeah.
Oh, really?
- JRJoe Rogan
'Cause they're saying that, you know, it only went a c- a certain distance away from the actual spill site.
- SGShane Gillis
The company said that.
- JRJoe Rogan
But people are way far away, and they're s- experiencing dead animals, dead birds, dead pets. And then people are throwing rocks into rivers, and you see these big, huge, like, s- chemical circles where the, where the water gets disturbed.
- SGShane Gillis
Yeah.
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Like, it just, like... Oil slicks. It looks really fucking sketchy. Dead fish everywhere.
- SGShane Gillis
I think Pete's got it.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, Mayor Pete's doing a good job.
- SGShane Gillis
People are just bitches.
Who do you think Mayor Pete is, huh?
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, he's definitely the most qualified job... guy for the job, so...
- SGShane Gillis
(laughs)
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
I mean, he's definitely, uh, not there for any other reason other than he's amazing, so...
- SGShane Gillis
Is there... Yeah. (laughs)
Are you alluding to something here?
- JRJoe Rogan
I'm just saying he's amazing. He's amazing, and he's doing a great job.
- SGShane Gillis
Great job.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- SGShane Gillis
Is there a part of you, Ari, as a Jew, that's like, "Yeah, fuck Palestine"?
Because... (laughs)
- 34:44 – 44:11
Privacy collapse: tracking partners, data exposure, and relationship control
- MNMark Normand
But yeah, cameras and the internet. Cellphone cameras ruined a lot of fun.
- SGShane Gillis
Uh-huh.
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm-hmm.
- MNMark Normand
And, you know, the internet with the...
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, I think about it every time I whack off.
- MNMark Normand
What do you mean?
- SGShane Gillis
Someone's watching, watching you.
- JRJoe Rogan
Man, if this camera catches my fat face going...
- NANarrator
I always feel like somebody's watching me.
- SGShane Gillis
It could ruin you with that face. (laughs)
- MNMark Normand
Yeah. And it knows what you're Googling too.
- SGShane Gillis
Oh, yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
How long-
- SGShane Gillis
Don't even go privacy.
- JRJoe Rogan
How long before there's zero privacy? How long before anyone could look at anybody's phone and all information just as... they can't stop it.
- MNMark Normand
Yeah.
- SGShane Gillis
10 years?
- JRJoe Rogan
Technology has just reached this point where all data and all numbers just available to everybody at every time.
- SGShane Gillis
Privacy's not expected. Yeah.
- MNMark Normand
I'd hate for this to get out.
- JRJoe Rogan
No privacy. Everybody knows where you're gonna be. You can't lie.
- SGShane Gillis
Could happen. Yeah, who are you?
- JRJoe Rogan
Can't avoid people, "Oh, so sorry, my mother-in-law's in town."
- SGShane Gillis
Really? I see her, I see her pin and your pin.
- JRJoe Rogan
"Gotta go."
- MNMark Normand
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
"Gotta go." (laughs)
- NANarrator
(laughs)
- MNMark Normand
My Google Glasses say you're lying.

(laughs)

Mar-a-Lago, MAGA fashion, and Trump’s optics as spectacle

Uh-oh.
- NANarrator
He's, uh, he was at Palestine today.
- SGShane Gillis
Hold on.
- JRJoe Rogan
Of course he was, look at him. Look at all those guys in the background. Who do you think that guy with the mustache is voting for? It ain't Biden and it ain't Hillary Clinton.

Fucking Yosemite Sam.
- JRJoe Rogan
Look at him. (laughs)
- MNMark Normand
It's a costume. It's like a Guess Who character.

Look at that mustache. That guy's got a lot of guns.

It's just the normal dude. Like, our leader, the most handsome man in the world.
- MNMark Normand
But Biden made it.
- NANarrator
I want to thank those of, uh, you that helped, uh, John Rourke, who's fantastic, Blue Line Moving. Uh, is John here? Uh, hello, John. Good job. Got a lot of trucks coming up with water, right?

He's, he's fantastic. He helps. Thank you very much, John. Appreciate it.
- SGShane Gillis

- NANarrator

But I've been watching... I o-... Dude, on the plane I was watching the fucking... I've been watching the Ken Burns Vietnam.

Watching a PBS doc.

- SGShane Gillis
I can remember when the Vietnam War ended.
- JRJoe Rogan
Really?

Really?
- SGShane Gillis

Oh, come on.

Like, "Thank God it's over while I'm a child."
- NANarrator
Wow.
- SGShane Gillis
I, I remember thinking that.
- NANarrator
Yeah.
- SGShane Gillis
Like, "Whew. Boy, they glad they figured this out."
- NANarrator
That was long. It was nine years?
- SGShane Gillis
It was so... Dude, from day one they were like, "We're not gonna win."
- NANarrator
Yeah.
- SGShane Gillis
From day one.
