    (drum roll) Joe Rogan podcast,…

    1. JR

      (drum roll) Joe Rogan podcast, check it out.

    2. NA

      The Joe Rogan Experience. Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day. (rock music)

    3. JR

      My man, Eric Kreischer, I love you to death.

    4. BK

      Brother, (glasses clink) I love you way more than you'll ever love me, and you know that. I told you that last night.

    5. JR

      (smacks lips) That's a ridiculous thing to say to a person.

    6. BK

      You changed my life immeasurably.

    7. JR

      You changed mine, too. We changed each other's lives.

    8. BK

      (coughs)

    9. JR

      We really did.

    10. BK

      I don't know...

    11. JR

      It's so that I- I just get m- too much credit. It's o- all of us. It's like w- we did it all together. We all did it together. Without good friends, n- nobody i- uh, really succeeds-

    12. BK

      Yeah.

    13. JR

      ... 'cause you don't, you don't appreciate it if it's just you. It's not f- it s- it doesn't seem fair. It seems all fucked up. So-

    14. BK

      I s- I, I, I keep saying to people, you gotta surround yourselves with the motherfuckers.

    15. JR

      Yes.

    16. BK

      Like, you g- you got- are you b- if you're talking about your friends as if you're the top dog, then you're with the wrong dudes.

    17. JR

      Right.

    18. BK

      Someone said to me, "You're always talking like you're not a great comic, that your friends are so much better." I go, "They are. Look at who my fucking friends are. Are you fucking kidding me?" Like, my friends, I surround, I'm s- I surround myself by people that are way better than me, and then I just listen. I don't a lot, not listen a lot, but...

    19. JR

      We all rise up together. It's a old expression that the rising tide raises all boats. It really does. It's just f- it's good for everybody. It's like, you want killers around. Like, we got into this 'cause we- we love comedy-

    20. BK

      Yeah.

    21. JR

      ... and now we're in it. And when you're in it, it's so scary, and it's so weird, and it's so chaotic. And, and people are comparing themselves to other people, and it causes all this totally unnecessary conflict.

    22. BK

      Yeah.

    23. JR

      And if you just remember why you got in it in the first place, you got in it in the first place 'cause you love to watch it, and then you did it, and then you got selfish, and you started thinking about yourself. You started thinking about, "I wanna kill," and, "I wanna be better," and, "I wanna be the number one person."

    24. BK

      Watch them where other people are in their career.

    25. JR

      Mm-hmm.

    26. BK

      And how come I don't have a 30-minute, half-hour special? Ugh.

    27. JR

      And people get upset with people that they really don't have any conflict with in real life, but in their mind, they associate that person with something negative because they feel bad when they think about them 'cause that person's more successful than them.

    28. BK

      Correct.

    29. JR

      It makes them feel bad, so they think that person's bad. It's like a weird, selfish way of thinking about stuff. And every comic used to have that back in the day. Dice was talking about how every comic would fuck every comic over, and they would, like, do something that would fuck up your set. And he, he was talking about what he did on, on d- Dangerfield's, uh, Young Comedians Special and that someone else on the show wanted to wear a leather jacket the day of, a biker jacket, like, the same jacket that Dice wears.

    30. BK

      Yeah.

  2. 15:0030:00

    Oh, Bert. …

    1. BK

      I was like, "What?" And they're like, "Yeah, y- with your wife." And I was like, "Shut the fuck up." I was like, "Wh- wh- is that cool?" And Leanne's like, "Yes, y- you're an actor." I was like, "Yeah, but I haven't cheated on you in, like, e- ever. Like, I've never kissed someone in 20 fucking years." She was like, "It's just acting." And I was like, "Okay." All I'll say is, uh, the pants I w- was wearing were loose-fitting, and I don't wear underwear. (laughs)

    2. NA

      Oh, Bert.

    3. BK

      We did one take, and I was like, "Costume change, please." (laughs) They're like, "What?" I was like, "Ah, I need to change my pants. (laughs) I guess I'm not an actor. I'm just a regular dude." (laughs)

    4. NA

      Oh my goodness, Bert.

    5. BK

      They're like, they're like, "Huh?" And I was like, "I don't know. What the fuck are you supposed to do? You're supposed to kiss someone and then just n- like, how the- how the fuck does that work?" (laughs) You ever kiss someone?

    6. NA

      Your body doesn't know that it's just acting.

    7. BK

      No.

    8. NA

      No.

    9. BK

      No.

    10. NA

      How could it?

    11. BK

      Yeah. I did the first kiss. My, my, my, my wife, Stephanie, is cool as fuck. We- by the way, I've talked with her, and we've talked about this a number of times. And she goes... We do the first kiss, and I'm, and I'm like, "I don't know." I'm, I'm just like, you know. And she's like, "Hey, you know, really go for it. Like, really go for it." And I was like, "For real?" She's like, "Yeah, like, try, like, try to, like, knock me off my feet. Like, kiss me." So I was like, "Okay." I'm not thinking about it. I'm going fucking ba- ba- ba- ba- bam. Walk up. Foom. And as soon as- and then she kissed back, and I was like, "What the fuck is happening? This is different. Holy shit." And then I'm like, "Ah, ah, ah, costume change." (laughs)

    12. NA

      (laughs)

    13. BK

      I need tape. I need tape. Like, someone get me ice.

    14. NA

      Is that... Are you allowed to talk about that?

    15. BK

      You're not supposed to. You're supposed to say, like, you're supposed to say... Here, ask me what the kissing scene was like.

    16. NA

      What was the kissing scene like?

    17. BK

      You know. Uh, it was good. It was- I would say, it's just acting. It's just acting. It's what we do as actors. Okay?

    18. NA

      Which is true.

    19. BK

      Yeah. Well, it is for some people.

    20. NA

      But-

    21. BK

      But it's also a fucking hardcore lie.

    22. NA

      (laughs)

    23. BK

      It's also why Brad Pitt fucked Angelina Jolie is 'cause you make out with her a couple times. You're like, "That was fucking nice. I wonder what it's like." And then you're laying in bed going, "Hmm. Hmm." And Jennifer Aniston's texting you like, "Pass, pass." Like, fucking Leanne, we did the kissing scene all day. All day, I kissed this woman for like 30 minutes, 35 minutes, kissed her, like, got comfortable kissing her, and then we got in bed in Serbia, and Leanne's like, "Hey, you wanna do it?" I was like, "Beat it, scissor lips."

    24. NA

      (laughs)

    25. BK

      I was like, "I'm fucking... (snorts) I'll come back to you when I need to." (laughs)

    26. NA

      Oh, how rude.

    27. BK

      My wife's got good sense of humor.

    28. NA

      I hope so.

    29. BK

      Yeah. I had the whole fucking- I mean, the whole movie in general was like, I was not com- I ripped my fucking arm. I blew my arm out, but...

    30. NA

      What is it like to have a story get turned into a movie? That's gotta be weird as fuck.

  3. 30:0045:00

    That's... Isn't that is...…

    1. BK

      in the door and said, "I'm a car."

    2. JR

      That's... Isn't that is... In the... That's in John Wick too.

    3. BK

      Yeah, I think it might be.

    4. JR

      When he calls the dude up and says, "You have la-... La machine?" You have my, my car? Remember? That's the, the scene where she's got the fucking '69 Mustang.

    5. BK

      Dude, let me tell you something. Keanu Reeves, that's the motherfucker. When you... After you do an action scene and then you watch John Wick, you're like, "Uh, that's...... learning the ballet. Like, that guy, those things he does in that movie, they're, they are... I, I would argue, I would, it would be cool. I, I, like, someone like you who's into martial arts and knows how to use his body, I'd be interested to see you go... That would be a cool thing, to see you do one of the John Wick sequences. Like, would you, would... Does that interest you at all? Those, like, badass sequences that he does?

    6. JR

      Like, movies? Is that sort of thing? What are you saying?

    7. BK

      No, no, no, no, no. Just, like, just for, like, to fun. Like, you know we go out and we shoot with Taron?

    8. JR

      Uh-huh.

    9. BK

      And, like, we learn the John Wick guns and stuff?

    10. JR

      Right.

    11. BK

      If they had a class where you could just go, "Hey man, for, like, this week, we're gonna teach you a John Wick sequence just to, just see if you could learn it." 'Cause it's really co-... It's a simple-

    12. JR

      Very complex.

    13. BK

      A very simple fight scene. I punched, like, three dudes on our movie, 'cause I don't, I just am not... I get overexcited and I just would punch them. And, but they were, like, cage fighters, so they're like, "I don't give a fuck. Just hit me. And if you... I'd rather you hit me than it not look good."

    14. JR

      Right.

    15. BK

      But that, what John, what John Wick does? I couldn't do that. That's like, somersaults and sliding your leg underneath people's legs to f- to leverage them? That's f-

    16. JR

      No, in the f- especially in the first movie.

    17. BK

      Look at this.

    18. JR

      In John Wick 1-

    19. BK

      (clears throat)

    20. JR

      ... that scene where he goes through the disco, the Red Circle Club?

    21. BK

      Mm-hmm.

    22. JR

      That fucking scene is insane.

    23. BK

      Yeah.

    24. JR

      I mean, it d- but here's what's weird about it. (sighs) Look, I love that movie.

    25. BK

      Yeah.

    26. JR

      But why? It's the sexy assassin that you root for. (laughs)

    27. BK

      (laughs)

    28. JR

      It's this... The whole thing's, like, have we forgiven his past where he worked for the Russian mob and killed how many fucking people that didn't deserve to be killed?

    29. BK

      (stammings)

    30. JR

      Like, he was the guy you sent in to kill people. It's the weirdest sort of hero that's ever existed.

  4. 45:001:00:00

    I- and it's Sean…

    1. BK

      their time, getting rid of that fucking movie, because they see the dick in the back of the pants and they all throw up.

    2. JR

      I- and it's Sean Young, who's gorgeous.

    3. BK

      Yeah. Yeah, she's beautiful.

    4. NA

      ... wear one of these? Ah. Ugh. Ah.

    5. JR

      (laughs)

    6. BK

      Don't look.

    7. NA

      Boy, that's really on there.

    8. BK

      (laughs)

    9. JR

      (laughs)

    10. NA

      (Laughs) Ugh.

    11. JR

      This scene is so crazy.

    12. BK

      Yeah, this is great.

    13. JR

      This is a scene, he's like, he just rips her shirt apart. Imagine that scene today.

    14. NA

      ... to get rid of big old Mr. Knish. (cloth tearing)

    15. BK

      (laughs)

    16. JR

      (laughs)

    17. BK

      She- she's in her bra and panties.

    18. JR

      She's just... In her bra and pa- he's ripping her clothes off in front of everybody.

    19. BK

      Yeah.

    20. NA

      Oh, boy.

    21. JR

      In a comedy.

    22. BK

      (laughs)

    23. JR

      And she's just standing there for some strange reason?

    24. NA

      Hey, excuse me. Come here. She's dazed.

    25. BK

      Look at Dan Marino. Look at Dan Marino.

    26. NA

      Excuse me for just one second.

    27. JR

      (laughs)

    28. NA

      She- she- she's dazed like a cartoon character would be.

    29. JR

      Like, with-

    30. BK

      (laughs)

  5. 1:00:001:11:03

    I don't know. …

    1. NA

    2. JR

      I don't know.

    3. NA

      They're not reacting to the cars, is the, what I'm saying. See-

    4. JR

      Right, but the wolves are just running, right? If they're not used to being around cars, but the cars are reacting to them. That car pulls over to the, to the left to avoid the wolves.

    5. BK

      Yeah, I think that's real, man.

    6. JR

      Watch how the car reacts.

    7. NA

      Here's the other thing I'm looking at. This is the last, uh, that'll be hard to fake, is the headlights from this car should be giving an extra shadow on these wolves coming this way, and it looks like it's only from the streetlight.

    8. JR

      Hmm, interesting.

    9. NA

      See, there's no shadow coming this way.

    10. JR

      Interesting.

    11. BK

      Oh.

    12. NA

      Which means that those cars weren't there when the wolves were there.

    13. JR

      Maybe, sorta, depending upon-

    14. NA

      Maybe, maybe, yeah, I don't know.

    15. JR

      ... where the beams hit.

    16. BK

      It would be an interesting... I mean, it would be an interesting-

    17. JR

      Interesting, yeah.

    18. BK

      ... person that spent their time doing that.

    19. NA

      (laughs)

    20. JR

      Yes, a forensic person analyzing.

    21. BK

      Like, who's a... Yeah, like...

    22. JR

      Hmm.

    23. BK

      I did a, I went to Reddit and did a Reddit, uh, AM, AMA.

    24. JR

      Yeah.

    25. BK

      I've never been on Reddit. I've never been on Reddit. Reddit fucking... Reddit's like a fucking rattlesnake to me. I don't hate it, but I don't get near it. I respect it. I just don't wanna fucking get bit.

    26. JR

      (laughs)

    27. BK

      'Cause I hear, like, like, Mark Normand lives on Reddit (laughs) . Like, he'll, he'll tell you stuff going on with you that you didn't know.

    28. JR

      (laughs)

    29. BK

      He did it last night. He was like-

    30. JR

      Yeah.
