   1. ASAndrew Schulz0:00

      (drumbeats) Joe Rogan podcast, check it out. The Joe Rogan Experience.

   2. JRJoe Rogan0:06

      Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day. (rock music) What's happening, big dog?

   3. ASAndrew Schulz0:13

      Mm. What's up, my man?

   4. JRJoe Rogan0:15

      Hey. First archery shot ever.

   5. ASAndrew Schulz0:18

      Oh, that was cool.

   6. JRJoe Rogan0:19

      40 yards with an 80-pound compound bow. You got it right in the fucking vitals.

   7. ASAndrew Schulz0:26

      It was cool.

   8. JRJoe Rogan0:26

      That's an amazing thing. You should probably quit now.

   9. ASAndrew Schulz0:29

      Yeah. Yeah.

   10. JRJoe Rogan0:30

       I mean, to take ... First of all, the bow's not even set up for you.

   11. ASAndrew Schulz0:33

       Yeah. (laughs)

   12. JRJoe Rogan0:33

       The way the bow is set up is, for me, I have shorter arms than you.

   13. ASAndrew Schulz0:36

       Correct.

   14. JRJoe Rogan0:36

       You would have a longer draw length, so you have to kind of, like, move your body a little, and you center that peep sight. Bro, that's a long shot for a first shot ever in a bow, 40 yards in an indoor range.

   15. ASAndrew Schulz0:49

       And what were you-

   16. JRJoe Rogan0:49

       And you got it right in the vitals.

   17. ASAndrew Schulz0:51

       Yeah. Now, what were you thinking when I struggled to pull it back?

   18. JRJoe Rogan0:55

       Uh, normal. It's weird. It's-

   19. ASAndrew Schulz0:57

       Oh, that is a-

   20. JRJoe Rogan0:57

       It's awkward.

   21. ASAndrew Schulz0:57

       ... common thing that happened?

   22. JRJoe Rogan0:59

       Yeah. Oh, you didn't have any excuses at least. Bryan Callahan had a fucking ...

   23. ASAndrew Schulz1:03

       Wait, what did he say?

   24. JRJoe Rogan1:03

       Just reading a scroll of excuses.

   25. ASAndrew Schulz1:05

       (laughs) Wait, what did he say? (laughs) "My labrum-"

   26. JRJoe Rogan1:06

       "It's tech- probably technique," you know something. Like, no, it's, it's a strength thing.

   27. ASAndrew Schulz1:10

       Yeah.

   28. JRJoe Rogan1:10

       I mean, it is technique, but it's just ... 80 pounds is 80 pounds.

   29. ASAndrew Schulz1:14

       Yeah.

   30. JRJoe Rogan1:14

       It's, it's a lot of weight.
2. 15:00 – 30:00

   Yeah. …

   1. ASAndrew Schulz15:00

      what I loved about the pyramid conspiracy is that the stakes are so low, right?

   2. JRJoe Rogan15:04

      Yeah.

   3. ASAndrew Schulz15:04

      There's no pedophilia.

   4. JRJoe Rogan15:05

      Nothing.

   5. ASAndrew Schulz15:05

      Nobody's dying.

   6. JRJoe Rogan15:06

      Nothing.

   7. ASAndrew Schulz15:07

      It's like, did it happen? Did it not happen?

   8. JRJoe Rogan15:09

      It's just, how old is this civilization?

   9. ASAndrew Schulz15:11

      That's it.

   10. JRJoe Rogan15:11

       That's it.

   11. ASAndrew Schulz15:11

       Is it 4,000? Is it 10,000?

   12. JRJoe Rogan15:12

       But do you know that even with that... 'Cause Graham Hancock has a whole series-

   13. ASAndrew Schulz15:16

       Oh, yeah. The- they call you racist and shit like that.

   14. JRJoe Rogan15:17

       They call him a racist.

   15. ASAndrew Schulz15:18

       I'm not saying that Black people didn't still do it. He- it's just older Black people.

   16. JRJoe Rogan15:21

       Well, listen, 100% was Black people.

   17. ASAndrew Schulz15:23

       Yeah, yeah. (laughs)

   18. JRJoe Rogan15:23

       It was 100% people in Africa.

   19. ASAndrew Schulz15:25

       (laughs) Yeah. State the facts. Yeah, yeah.

   20. JRJoe Rogan15:25

       The pyramids were 100% built by people who lived in Africa.

   21. ASAndrew Schulz15:29

       Yes, yeah, yeah.

   22. JRJoe Rogan15:30

       That's it.

   23. ASAndrew Schulz15:30

       Yeah, yeah.

   24. JRJoe Rogan15:31

       And all Graham Hancock is saying-

   25. ASAndrew Schulz15:33

       Hmm.

   26. JRJoe Rogan15:33

       ... is that it's very likely that the entire world experienced a cataclysmic disaster-

   27. ASAndrew Schulz15:39

       Yes.

   28. JRJoe Rogan15:39

       ... around 11,800-

   29. ASAndrew Schulz15:41

       Yeah.

   30. JRJoe Rogan15:41

       ... 12,000 years ago.
3. 30:00 – 45:00

   (laughs) 40 yards. …

   1. ASAndrew Schulz30:00

      today. (laughs)

   2. JRJoe Rogan30:01

      (laughs) 40 yards.

   3. ASAndrew Schulz30:01

      I know you're doing okay. (laughs)

   4. JRJoe Rogan30:04

      But it's like, uh, so that's not what I'm interested in.

   5. ASAndrew Schulz30:07

      Yeah.

   6. JRJoe Rogan30:07

      What I'm interested in is, like, what would be the best case scenario? You know, I always talk about when we were kids, if someone said, "Oh, if you had all this money, what would you do?"

   7. ASAndrew Schulz30:16

      What would you do?

   8. JRJoe Rogan30:16

      "Ah, I'd make the best fucking comedy club."

   9. ASAndrew Schulz30:18

      Yeah.

   10. JRJoe Rogan30:18

       "And I'd set it up just for comedians."

   11. ASAndrew Schulz30:21

       Yeah.

   12. JRJoe Rogan30:21

       So I'm like, "Why don't you just do that?"

   13. ASAndrew Schulz30:22

       Yeah.

   14. JRJoe Rogan30:23

       So I just did it.

   15. ASAndrew Schulz30:24

       Yeah.

   16. JRJoe Rogan30:24

       That was it.

   17. ASAndrew Schulz30:25

       I mean, it's crazy.

   18. JRJoe Rogan30:25

       Yeah, it's awesome, and the staff's awesome.

   19. ASAndrew Schulz30:27

       Yeah.

   20. JRJoe Rogan30:27

       We've got the best people from The Comedy Store.

   21. ASAndrew Schulz30:30

       I mean, I already told you I was gonna come down when, when you opened, and, uh, but I will say after that week, like, the energy that I saw from it, I was like, "Oh, wow, yeah, something's going on over here."

   22. JRJoe Rogan30:42

       Yeah, something's going on.

   23. ASAndrew Schulz30:43

       Something's go... But I, and I, and listen, I was also one of these people who were like, "Austin can't sustain a comedy club. There's not enough people."

   24. JRJoe Rogan30:48

       (laughs)

   25. ASAndrew Schulz30:48

       I think I told you that.

   26. JRJoe Rogan30:50

       Yeah, but-

   27. ASAndrew Schulz30:50

       I was like, I, I didn't know if it was, it was possible. Now, granted, you have a pretty good batting average with the things you care about. Like, so far, I think you're batting, like, uh, 1,000% on the things that you want to do.

   28. JRJoe Rogan31:02

       Well, if you really like something-

   29. ASAndrew Schulz31:03

       Yeah.

   30. JRJoe Rogan31:03

       ... and you do it, it's infectious.
4. 45:00 – 1:00:00

   Yeah. …

   1. JRJoe Rogan45:00

      stage, the more I'm inventing new stuff.

   2. ASAndrew Schulz45:01

      Yeah.

   3. JRJoe Rogan45:02

      The more sets you do, the better you get.

   4. ASAndrew Schulz45:03

      Yeah.

   5. JRJoe Rogan45:03

      It's just, it's just real numbers.

   6. ASAndrew Schulz45:05

      Yeah.

   7. JRJoe Rogan45:05

      And if you're a guy who's like this awkward fellow who sits in front of a ThinkPad all day-

   8. ASAndrew Schulz45:09

      (laughs)

   9. JRJoe Rogan45:10

      ... and he's just like writing on Microsoft Word, writing very funny things.

   10. ASAndrew Schulz45:13

       Now here's 300 people. This is gonna be a good one.

   11. JRJoe Rogan45:15

       And, and you know, occasionally, you talk to your wife like, "Oh, um, what do you, what do you want to do for dinner?" You know, like, like you're awkward.

   12. ASAndrew Schulz45:22

       (laughs) Yeah.

   13. JRJoe Rogan45:22

       You're in- you're very brilliant, but you're alone in front of your computer.

   14. ASAndrew Schulz45:26

       Yeah. Yeah.

   15. JRJoe Rogan45:26

       And then all of a sudden you have to go in front of people and deliver-

   16. ASAndrew Schulz45:31

       Yeah.

   17. JRJoe Rogan45:31

       ... these ideas.

   18. ASAndrew Schulz45:32

       Yeah.

   19. JRJoe Rogan45:32

       It's- you have to learn how the, the delivery thing, you have to put in the reps.

   20. ASAndrew Schulz45:36

       Yeah.

   21. JRJoe Rogan45:36

       You have got to... Uh, it's a lot of reps.

   22. ASAndrew Schulz45:38

       Yeah.

   23. JRJoe Rogan45:39

       It seems way more simple than it is.

   24. ASAndrew Schulz45:41

       Yeah.

   25. JRJoe Rogan45:41

       It seems when you- a person's up there, like I was watching you last night.

   26. ASAndrew Schulz45:45

       Yeah.

   27. JRJoe Rogan45:45

       It's like he's just talking.

   28. ASAndrew Schulz45:47

       Yeah.

   29. JRJoe Rogan45:47

       Like, why is it so funny?

   30. ASAndrew Schulz45:48

       Yeah.
5. 1:00:00 – 1:07:52

   Right. …

   1. ASAndrew Schulz1:00:00

      for 26 miles or something like that.

   2. JRJoe Rogan1:00:02

      Right.

   3. ASAndrew Schulz1:00:02

      Like I can't do that, and I can't tap in every time. But when I can tap into that state, I can like i- create these like worlds that I exist in.

   4. JRJoe Rogan1:00:09

      Hmm.

   5. ASAndrew Schulz1:00:09

      And sometimes, these lines come up, these ideas comes up, these curiosity comes up. There's like a part of my brain that now can flourish, because other parts of my brain are accessed.

   6. JRJoe Rogan1:00:21

      So, it, it like hits when you're breathing heavy, when you start sweating?

   7. ASAndrew Schulz1:00:25

      Yeah, it's, it, it's like, it's like my brain is occupied by like maintaining this pace, which is probably pretty fast, but not so fast where I can't concentrate. But that's occupied there. And then there, another part of my brain is occupied by the music. And sometimes I'll just replay the same song over and over again.

   8. JRJoe Rogan1:00:40

      Yeah.

   9. ASAndrew Schulz1:00:40

      But there's a state-

   10. JRJoe Rogan1:00:41

       I love doing that.

   11. ASAndrew Schulz1:00:41

       Right?

   12. JRJoe Rogan1:00:41

       Yeah.

   13. ASAndrew Schulz1:00:41

       Something happens, and it's like I don't know what the fuck it is. And I wish I could like lock in on it.

   14. JRJoe Rogan1:00:47

       Hmm.

   15. ASAndrew Schulz1:00:47

       You know, like, and just exist in that for three hours a day or something. But when I can, thoughts become really clear and ideas become really clear. And sometimes they're fucking shit, and then sometimes they're like really interesting. And there's- and I can replay these scenarios and think of like, an interesting comeback or like this really self-deprecating thing that happened, and it's just like, I'll literally hop off the treadmill, sweaty as fuck, dripping all over my phone, write the idea, and then get back on. But I don't know if that's a good strategy for doing it, but these are the different scenarios to access that part of the brain that I almost feel like is always working. Like, I don't know, I've always thought like comedy exists, and then you just kind of find it. I don't think I've created any comedy. I think it's there, and I just kind of like, uh, uh, uh, this is stupid, but like, you know, like, um, with the, what is it? The, uh, constellations. It's like the stars are there, but somebody looked at them and they're like, "Ooh, that kinda looks like a belt."Ooh, that kinda looks like a dipper.

   16. JRJoe Rogan1:01:39

       Right.

   17. ASAndrew Schulz1:01:39

       You know what I mean? Like-

   18. JRJoe Rogan1:01:39

       Yes, I know what you're saying.

   19. ASAndrew Schulz1:01:40

       That's kind of what I think with a lot of these ideas. It's like, the, all the, all the things are there and you're just kinda, like, connecting these little dots.

   20. JRJoe Rogan1:01:48

       Well, I think the more you look at it like that, the more it becomes available to you too.

   21. ASAndrew Schulz1:01:52

       Mm-hmm.

   22. JRJoe Rogan1:01:53

       Because I think one of the, th- one of the traps of the human mind is that when you get good at something, your ego inflates. And you think-

   23. ASAndrew Schulz1:02:03

       (sighs)

   24. JRJoe Rogan1:02:03

       ... you, it's about you-

   25. ASAndrew Schulz1:02:05

       Yeah.

   26. JRJoe Rogan1:02:05

       ... and you're just this special thing-

   27. ASAndrew Schulz1:02:07

       Yeah.

   28. JRJoe Rogan1:02:07

       ... and you're better than everybody.

   29. ASAndrew Schulz1:02:08

       Yeah, yeah.

   30. JRJoe Rogan1:02:09

       And there's a way that you could do it that nobody could fuck with-
