   2. The Joe Rogan Experience.

   3. Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day. (rock music plays)

   4. JRJoe Rogan0:13

      ... (rock music plays) Theo Von, Austin, Texas. What- what a pop you got last night. That was a lot of pressure.

   5. TVTheo Von0:19

      It was a lot of pressure.

   6. JRJoe Rogan0:20

      They went crazy. One of the nice things about these shows that we do is that no one knows who's gonna be on them, these Joe Rogan and Friends shows, so, like, it could be a surprise. You were surprised last night.

   7. TVTheo Von0:31

      Yeah.

   8. JRJoe Rogan0:31

      And, uh, we got a, we got video of it. Is it, uh, on the, uh, Mothergram- Mothership Instagram?

   9. NANarrator0:37

      That's actually a better name. It should be the Mothergram.

   10. JRJoe Rogan0:39

       Yeah, right? (laughs)

   11. TVTheo Von0:40

       Oh, yeah.

   12. JRJoe Rogan0:43

       Look at this. Do they have a pop? All right, here we go.

   13. NANarrator0:49

       Oh, yeah. I love that. Keep it moving and going. For the social media, all the way from Nashville, Tennessee, Theo Von! (cheering)

   14. JRJoe Rogan1:01

       Bro, you got a standing O. What's up? (laughs)

   15. TVTheo Von1:04

       That's crazy, dude.

   16. JRJoe Rogan1:05

       You spent the first 30 seconds of your set high-fiving people. Come on, son. Look at this, look at this.

   17. TVTheo Von1:14

       It was crazy. Some dude threw some semen up at me, I think.

   18. JRJoe Rogan1:18

       Real semen?

   19. TVTheo Von1:18

       Like in that movie, um, Silence of the Lambs. Yeah, I don't know if it was real or not.

   20. JRJoe Rogan1:22

       Miggs.

   21. TVTheo Von1:23

       Yeah. (laughs) Yeah.

   22. JRJoe Rogan1:23

       Yeah, Miggs is a guy locked in the cell.

   23. TVTheo Von1:25

       I mean, yeah, I batted it down. I respected it.

   24. JRJoe Rogan1:27

       (blows raspberries)

   25. TVTheo Von1:29

       But yeah, people... Dude, that was awesome, man. Thank you. Congrats.

   26. JRJoe Rogan1:32

       For sure. My pleasure.

2. 1:33 – 5:19

   Building the club: renovations, “the building feels conscious,” and ghost-hunting stories

   1. TVTheo Von1:33

      Congrats 'cause I remember last time I was here, you just... We went and, you know, you were walk- you walked me through, and you're like, "This is where the light's gonna go when you go on." Like, you had everything to a T.

   2. JRJoe Rogan1:41

      Yeah. How long ago was that?

   3. TVTheo Von1:43

      That was last July.

   4. JRJoe Rogan1:45

      Okay. So last July, there was... Uh, that... We hadn't even raised the floors yet, right?

   5. TVTheo Von1:52

      Y'all were just talking about it.

   6. JRJoe Rogan1:53

      Yeah. That was, that was before we lowered the ceiling and raised the floors. That was... So you got in when it looked like a movie theater. Still looked like the old movie theater, right?

   7. TVTheo Von2:03

      Yeah, I think you were just talking about adjusting the floor heights and doing something like that. Yeah, dude, it was awe- I mean, that was crazy. That was probably... That was a highlight of my, uh, that, I mean, that was a, a highlight of my life, I think.

   8. JRJoe Rogan2:14

      (laughs) I think so too.

   9. TVTheo Von2:17

      'Cause you get to be a surprise. Like, there's not as much surprises anymore in the world, you know?

   10. JRJoe Rogan2:22

       It's true.

   11. TVTheo Von2:23

       So to v- to have a moment where you're, like, part of a surprise, I think, felt really good.

   12. JRJoe Rogan2:27

       Yeah, that's, that's what it looked like.

   13. TVTheo Von2:29

       Yeah.

   14. JRJoe Rogan2:30

       So that... So when you were there, it was all rough and everything was, you know, just beginning. So you were there the early days. It's weird to be in there now because, (sighs) I mean, I don't wanna sound crazy, but I feel like that place has always been there. It's weird.

   15. TVTheo Von2:48

       Like the club has always been there?

   16. JRJoe Rogan2:49

       Yeah, the club. It's like it's, it's like it was waiting for us.

   17. TVTheo Von2:53

       Hmm.

   18. JRJoe Rogan2:54

       Like a Stephen King book. For real. Like that, that, that... I've never been in a building that felt more like it was conscious.

   19. TVTheo Von3:01

       Hmm.

   20. JRJoe Rogan3:02

       The place feels conscious. My daughter's into ghosts and shit, and she has this, uh, this thing that she puts on, this, uh, this headphone that's connected to some, some box, and someone will ask questions, and the, the box will pick up, like, random signals, and you're blindfolded, and you listen to this. And so, uh, they, they do this to test places for ghosts, and she says that place is haunted.

   21. TVTheo Von3:30

       She said the club is?

   22. JRJoe Rogan3:31

       Yeah.

   23. TVTheo Von3:32

       Oh, I believe that. I could see-

   24. JRJoe Rogan3:33

       (laughs)

   25. TVTheo Von3:33

       ... it being haunted probably.

   26. JRJoe Rogan3:34

       She's also 12. (laughs)

   27. TVTheo Von3:37

       Well, I'm older than her-

   28. JRJoe Rogan3:38

       At the time.

   29. TVTheo Von3:38

       ... but I could all, I would agree with her probably. (laughs) I mean, I could see there being... Uh, I will say this. It felt there was some kind of, um... It felt... I, I, I can understand when you say, like, "This feels like it should've been there over time and history." Like, it's already, like, was just supposed to-

   30. JRJoe Rogan3:53

       Yeah.
3. 5:19 – 6:06

   No food at the club: cleanliness, roaches, condiments, and comics’ diet next door

   1. TVTheo Von5:19

      And y'all don't have food, right?

   2. JRJoe Rogan5:20

      Yeah, that's a big one. Oh. Fuck food.

   3. TVTheo Von5:22

      There's... Yeah, all the condiments and all of that just stains everything and gets on everything, I feel like.

   4. JRJoe Rogan5:28

      Not only that, you get roaches and all kinds of other shit, and... Ugh. Roaches love ketchup, I bet.

   5. TVTheo Von5:33

      (laughs) Do they? I would.

   6. JRJoe Rogan5:34

      Everybody loves ketchup.

   7. TVTheo Von5:34

      Yeah, yeah, yeah. (laughs)

   8. JRJoe Rogan5:36

      (laughs) I like ketchup on hot dogs.

   9. TVTheo Von5:37

      Oh, dude, I bet if you could really get it out of a roach, if you fucking tickled him hard enough, he'd tell you he liked it.

   10. JRJoe Rogan5:43

       I like relish.

   11. TVTheo Von5:44

       (laughs)

   12. JRJoe Rogan5:45

       Relish is my favorite.

   13. TVTheo Von5:46

       Yeah, but we got food next door on both sides of us. We got-

   14. JRJoe Rogan5:49

       Yeah, they got everything.

   15. TVTheo Von5:50

       ... shitty Mexican food and shitty pizza.

   16. JRJoe Rogan5:52

       Yeah.

   17. TVTheo Von5:53

       (laughs)

   18. JRJoe Rogan5:53

       Just what comics deserve too. (laughs) We got some good pizza last night, though. They got some good... I'm, I'm not eating it, but, uh, uh, Attell got something from some high-end pizza place, Hoboken something Pizza something.

4. 6:06 – 9:56

   What even is a ghost? From Louisiana stories to legal vs. ‘okay’ age gaps

   1. TVTheo Von6:06

      He's the funniest, man. Yeah, they had, um, a lot of ghost stuff. Like, I grew up in Louisiana, right?

   2. JRJoe Rogan6:13

      Yeah.

   3. TVTheo Von6:13

      And so ghosts and ghosts, uh, and stuff was a big part of the history, you know, uh, especially in the South.

   4. JRJoe Rogan6:20

      Hmm.

   5. TVTheo Von6:21

      You know, I think, um...

   6. JRJoe Rogan6:22

      What do you think a ghost is?

   7. TVTheo Von6:24

      A ghost?... probably just some busy body that just didn't get all their stuff done.

   8. JRJoe Rogan6:30

      Ooh, they were lazy when they were alive, so they hang around a- after li-... You know what it's like? It's like those dudes who would hang around the high school after they already graduated.

   9. TVTheo Von6:39

      Yeah.

   10. JRJoe Rogan6:40

       Like, "What are you doing, loser?"

   11. TVTheo Von6:41

       (laughs)

   12. JRJoe Rogan6:43

       (laughs)

   13. TVTheo Von6:44

       Yeah, look at this ghost over here.

   14. JRJoe Rogan6:45

       Yeah, look at this ghost.

   15. TVTheo Von6:46

       Oh, they had a dude, uh, who would bring, like, uh, who was always dating, like, an underage chick, and he's come-

   16. JRJoe Rogan6:52

       Ugh.

   17. TVTheo Von6:52

       ... and, like, hand them McDonald's over the fence at our school.

   18. JRJoe Rogan6:55

       Oh, God.

   19. TVTheo Von6:56

       Oh, and everybody-

   20. JRJoe Rogan6:56

       How old was he?

   21. TVTheo Von6:57

       Oh, everybody thought he was damn Prince Charles. Everybody thought he was, like, the luckiest guy in the world. But he, yeah, he was older. He just, like, was an adult and-

   22. JRJoe Rogan7:05

       Like, a 20-year-old adult, or, like, a 30-year-old adult? It gets exponentially creepier.

   23. TVTheo Von7:12

       (laughs) Yeah, yeah.

   24. JRJoe Rogan7:12

       Right? And, like, if, if you just graduated, and you're 18, and your girlfriend is 17, that shit is completely normal.

   25. TVTheo Von7:19

       Yeah.

   26. JRJoe Rogan7:19

       You know? But if you're 19, and she's 17, people start to look a little sideways, huh?

   27. TVTheo Von7:24

       Mm-hmm.

   28. JRJoe Rogan7:24

       That extra 12 months makes a big difference. If you're 20, and she's 17, people will get very upset with you, even in places where it's legal, where, where it is legal in a few places, which is kinda weird.

   29. TVTheo Von7:36

       Yeah.

   30. JRJoe Rogan7:36

       Because that's pretty weird.
5. 9:56 – 14:45

   Nature is wild: fawns’ scent debate, horny elk behavior, and selfie stupidity

   1. JRJoe Rogan9:56

      I do not think God had men in mind when he was doing that. No. If there is a God, I think they just wanted to make sure that... A baby's a complicated organ, uh, or complicated, uh, organism, rather. Uh, very complicated, more complicated than any other child of any other animal that's ever been born. Human babies are the weirdest.

   2. TVTheo Von10:14

      Really?

   3. JRJoe Rogan10:14

      Yeah, that's why they come out so vulnerable. Every other animal comes out, and they can move around, for the most part. Although, I did see a deer, uh, just a couple of days ago on my street. I was going for a walk, and the mama, mama deer bounced off a little, and I saw this little tiny, little tiny baby deer squatted down and laid down on the grass, 'cause that's what they do when they're really, really young.

   4. TVTheo Von10:35

      Yeah.

   5. JRJoe Rogan10:35

      'Cause they can't run away from anything, so their best strategy is to kind of blend in and hide. That's why they have those white dots all over their body. The white dots, like, say if they're in grass, the white dots obscure their, their shape.

   6. TVTheo Von10:48

      Hm.

   7. JRJoe Rogan10:49

      So predators might not see. And I think there's something about their smell. Google that. We have, we finally have internet again. Google, uh, what is the smell of newborn fawns? 'Cause I think there's, like, some strategy that nature has with their smell.

   8. TVTheo Von11:07

      Hm.

   9. JRJoe Rogan11:08

      Yeah, the baby deer has no scent.

   10. TVTheo Von11:11

       (gasps)

   11. JRJoe Rogan11:11

       So, predators that may depend on their sense of smell have difficulty finding the young deer. The mother, always close at hand, tends to circle back towards where her baby lies to get the attention of the predator. Yeah, that's what they did with us. So the-

   12. TVTheo Von11:22

       Oh, they're like that deo-... They're like that, um-

   13. JRJoe Rogan11:25

       Oh, it's false. It says it's false. Oh, this one's... Where the fuck is the first one from? The Henderson State University. What a shit fucking university. No, go to the top.

   14. TVTheo Von11:33

       (laughs)

   15. JRJoe Rogan11:33

       Is that where it's from?

   16. NANarrator11:34

       Yeah, yeah, yeah.

   17. JRJoe Rogan11:35

       That's a f-... What a fucking...

   18. TVTheo Von11:36

       (laughs)

   19. JRJoe Rogan11:37

       "Hey, I got my fucking degree from Henderson." Dan Henderson, he's his principal. (laughs)

   20. TVTheo Von11:43

       (laughs)

   21. JRJoe Rogan11:43

       I asked him what baby deer smell like. He goes, "What are you, a fucking douchebag? Smelling deers?" This is false. Oh, fucking pop-up...

   22. TVTheo Von11:51

       (laughs)

   23. JRJoe Rogan11:51

       ... for a fucking outdoor tactical backpack. "This is false. Their unique scent is how their mothers identify them. In fact, they urinate on their tarsal glands daily, even when just a few days old." Interesting.

   24. TVTheo Von12:03

       Oh, they're freaks, man.

   25. JRJoe Rogan12:04

       They're pissing on themselves, going crazy.

   26. TVTheo Von12:06

       Ugh.

   27. JRJoe Rogan12:07

       Elk, elk piss on themselves when they're, when they're horny.

   28. TVTheo Von12:09

       Really?

   29. JRJoe Rogan12:10

       Well, yeah. Their, their dick gets hard, and their dick flops up and down when they scream. They go... Their dick flops-

   30. TVTheo Von12:17

       Oh.
6. 14:45 – 18:46

   Animal revenge and intelligence: monkeys vs. puppies and orcas sinking boats

   1. JRJoe Rogan14:45

      They don't care. Did you hear about the... Was it India where the monkey started, uh, jacking puppies? In India, a dog killed a monkey.

   2. TVTheo Von14:54

      Mm-hmm.

   3. JRJoe Rogan14:54

      So these monkeys went on a rampage and started chucking puppies off roofs.

   4. TVTheo Von14:58

      Oh.

   5. JRJoe Rogan14:59

      They would carry puppies to the top of roofs and like (screeches) fucking chuck them off the roofs.

   6. TVTheo Von15:03

      Hmm. Like a Maltese.

   7. JRJoe Rogan15:05

      Yeah. Monkeys blamed for hundreds of puppy deaths-

   8. TVTheo Von15:08

      Hmm.

   9. JRJoe Rogan15:09

      ... captured in India. So they'd bring them up to the top of a fucking m- building and throw them.

   10. TVTheo Von15:14

       Like a Maltese, though.

   11. JRJoe Rogan15:14

       Villagers claim animals were carrying out revenge killings after dogs killed an infant monkey.

   12. TVTheo Von15:19

       (gasps)

   13. JRJoe Rogan15:20

       Speaking of which, have you seen what's going on with orcas?

   14. TVTheo Von15:23

       Uh-uh.

   15. JRJoe Rogan15:24

       So a female orca, the matriarch, the, the head of this f- female orca pack-

   16. TVTheo Von15:29

       Uh-huh.

   17. JRJoe Rogan15:30

       ... the, the head of this orca pack-

   18. TVTheo Von15:30

       When you say orcas, what are you talking about?

   19. JRJoe Rogan15:33

       Killer whales.

   20. TVTheo Von15:34

       Oh, damn. All right.

   21. JRJoe Rogan15:34

       That's a orca.

   22. TVTheo Von15:35

       My God.

   23. JRJoe Rogan15:36

       So, um, they started sinking boats, and they're teaching each other how to sink boats. Apparently, this boat fucked up one of these oarc... 'Cause sometimes what happens is something will go wrong and a propeller will hit. They, th- they've happened all the time with sharks. It's happened with whales. Propellers will fuck up a dolphin or an orca.

   24. TVTheo Von15:56

       Oh, yeah. My friend Dave got pushed off a boat in his... and he got hit by it. When we went, we went over him. He got pushed off the front-

   25. JRJoe Rogan16:03

       Oh, geez. You got hit by the propeller?

   26. TVTheo Von16:03

       ... and it fucking hit him.

   27. JRJoe Rogan16:04

       Where did it hit him?

   28. TVTheo Von16:05

       Mm, I'm not sure. He wasn't that great to start off with, but he-

   29. JRJoe Rogan16:08

       (laughs)

   30. TVTheo Von16:08

       It didn't help him. But I don't think it harmed him much, you know? (laughs) It was like... (laughs)
7. 18:46 – 29:07

   Pets, enclosures, and ‘mini Jurassic Park’: fish tanks to pit bulls and dog lore

   1. TVTheo Von18:46

      My sister used to have a bass that was in their house, and it was like...... it couldn't even turn around in the tank.

   2. JRJoe Rogan18:53

      Oh, that's fucked up.

   3. TVTheo Von18:54

      I don't think it minded.

   4. JRJoe Rogan18:56

      I bet it did.

   5. TVTheo Von18:57

      I don't know.

   6. JRJoe Rogan18:58

      Of course it did.

   7. TVTheo Von18:59

      It lived there for a long time.

   8. JRJoe Rogan19:00

      That's what they say to guys in solitary, "I don't think he minds." (laughs)

   9. TVTheo Von19:02

      (laughs) Oh yeah, that's true. Huh?

   10. JRJoe Rogan19:04

       He's by himself in there. (laughs) Especially if it's a bass, you can't talk to him. You know, he's probably like, "Get me the fuck outta here. I wanna be in a lake."

   11. TVTheo Von19:11

       (laughs) Yeah.

   12. JRJoe Rogan19:11

       "I wanna be eating frogs, you cunt." (laughs)

   13. TVTheo Von19:13

       He's just watching Cops outta one eye with his sister.

   14. JRJoe Rogan19:16

       (laughs) He's watching 90 Day Fiance.

   15. TVTheo Von19:19

       (laughs)

   16. JRJoe Rogan19:19

       What the fuck is wrong with people? "Keep me in this goddamn bowl. (laughs) I'm a bass."

   17. TVTheo Von19:25

       Stupid fuck.

   18. JRJoe Rogan19:26

       Mm, mm, mm. (laughs)

   19. TVTheo Von19:27

       I used to have piranhas.

   20. JRJoe Rogan19:29

       Oh. (laughs)

   21. TVTheo Von19:29

       Yeah, of course you did, man. Yeah.

   22. JRJoe Rogan19:30

       (laughs) Who- who doesn't think you did? (laughs)

   23. TVTheo Von19:35

       (laughs)

   24. JRJoe Rogan19:35

       I had this, uh, one house that I lived in when I was living by myself. I, uh, there was, like, uh, an indoor courtyard to this house. And, uh, I literally actually consulted construction people. I was gonna create, like, a miniature Jurassic Park in this courtyard. I was gonna seal it off and put crocodile monitors in and have, like, a little hatch where I could release a rabbit.

   25. TVTheo Von19:59

       (Gasps) Yeah.

   26. JRJoe Rogan19:59

       And watch him kill it?

   27. TVTheo Von19:59

       And watch him kill it. Yeah.

   28. JRJoe Rogan20:01

       Yeah.

   29. TVTheo Von20:01

       But then I had, like, a come to Jesus moment, like, "What the fuck is wrong with you?"

   30. JRJoe Rogan20:04

       Yeah.
8. 29:07 – 34:40

   Nostalgia detour: Suzanne Somers, ThighMaster, sitcom negotiations, and MFN clauses

   1. TVTheo Von29:07

      ... or any experience around dogs, you know? I remember first time I ever even met a, uh, indoor dog, it was... I didn't know a dog could even be indoors, right? And I was at my buddy Scott's house and they had a l- a golden retriever.

   2. JRJoe Rogan29:22

      Hmm.

   3. TVTheo Von29:22

      And this bitch came around the corner, dude, and I was like, "Who in the fuck is that?" I mean, it was, like, the most beautiful thing. I mean, it was just, like-

   4. JRJoe Rogan29:29

      Fluffy and gorgeous. (laughs)

   5. TVTheo Von29:32

      Oh, beautiful. (laughs) Fucking long blond hair.

   6. JRJoe Rogan29:34

      And gorgeous dog.

   7. TVTheo Von29:34

      It was like Suzanne Somers who'd just come in-

   8. JRJoe Rogan29:37

      (laughs)

   9. TVTheo Von29:37

      And I was like, "Damn, that thing is fucking fine," you know?

   10. JRJoe Rogan29:40

       Suzanne Somers.

   11. TVTheo Von29:41

       I'd just never seen a dog look like they had, like, gotten a good night's sleep, you know?

   12. JRJoe Rogan29:45

       Remember Suzanne Somers with the ThighMaster?

   13. TVTheo Von29:48

       Yeah.

   14. JRJoe Rogan29:48

       All she had was a, this spring to just tighten up your pussy muscle.

   15. TVTheo Von29:52

       (laughs)

   16. JRJoe Rogan29:52

       'Cause that's what you're doing. Like, there's a lot of... Like, it's not squatting for your butt. It's not lunges. You're just tightening up them pussy muscles, dude.

   17. TVTheo Von30:00

       Oh, dude.

   18. JRJoe Rogan30:00

       You gonna squeeze that dick, squeeze that dick, squeeze that dick.

   19. TVTheo Von30:03

       That thing's gonna gleak by the time you get done with it, dude.

   20. JRJoe Rogan30:06

       S- see if you can find the, the ad for the ThighMaster. A lot of ladies bought that too 'cause they wanted to look like Suzanne Somers. Look, it's just a spring. She's still looking good and she's, like, a thousand years old.

   21. TVTheo Von30:18

       Oh yeah, she's still looks really good in my head.

   22. JRJoe Rogan30:21

       One of the biggest blunders in all of television, though, her and Three's Company.

   23. TVTheo Von30:25

       Three's Company too. That was a great show. What happened to it?

   24. JRJoe Rogan30:27

       Well, uh, she... Crazy negotiations. She wanted more money. She was demanding more money because she had become a giant star, and so they basically relegated her to... She wasn't even on the show anymore. Like, o- there was one episode where she made a phone call and she called them, like she was on vacation, and that was her in the episode. Her in some totally different location, calling them on the phone.

   25. TVTheo Von30:50

       Wow.

   26. JRJoe Rogan30:51

       And then they eventually replaced her.

   27. TVTheo Von30:53

       Yeah, I remember they got a new woman.

   28. JRJoe Rogan30:54

       I think it was, like, you know, she got an aggressive agent. It might have been a husband. One of those deals.

   29. TVTheo Von30:59

       Yeah.

   30. JRJoe Rogan31:00

       And he was like, "I got this. I'm gonna fucking... You deserve more money."
9. 34:40 – 59:39

   Old TV rabbit holes: John Ritter stories, The Man from Atlantis, werewolves, and Swamp Thing

   1. JRJoe Rogan34:40

      He was a real sweet guy. He was real f- Everybody loved him. He was on the set of News Radio for a week, and just a super nice guy. Like, 'cause sometimes you meet people and you hope they're gonna be nice, because they're nice on TV, you know? But they're not.

   2. TVTheo Von34:55

      Yeah.

   3. JRJoe Rogan34:55

      And it's really frustrating. It's weird. Like, they're creepy to you. Or they're shitty to you because you're an actor and you're like, "Oh, wow, you're kind of a cunt." You're a fake. You're faking it for television, but in real life you're like this weird, snipey, sort of shitty, fucking insulting person.

   4. TVTheo Von35:11

      Yeah.

   5. JRJoe Rogan35:11

      And like, I met a few of those too.

   6. TVTheo Von35:12

      Yeah?

   7. JRJoe Rogan35:13

      (sighs) Yeah. It's very frustrating, 'cause you're like, "God, I thought you were nice. I th- I saw you on TV, you were nice." Just trying to say hi, and you're a fucking cunt to me.

   8. TVTheo Von35:21

      Yeah. Yeah, we were supposed to... Michael Landon was supposed to come to our town. Um...

   9. JRJoe Rogan35:26

      Aquaman. No, it wasn't Aquaman. The Man from Atlantis.

   10. TVTheo Von35:29

       Was he?

   11. JRJoe Rogan35:29

       Yeah.

   12. TVTheo Von35:30

       I didn't see that.

   13. JRJoe Rogan35:31

       Maybe... Was he on Little House in the Prairie?

   14. TVTheo Von35:32

       Yeah.

   15. JRJoe Rogan35:33

       I think he was on The Man from Atlantis too, wasn't he?

   16. TVTheo Von35:35

       Good boy. I remember little-

   17. JRJoe Rogan35:37

       Everybody w- would swim like The Man from Atlantis when I was a kid.

   18. TVTheo Von35:39

       Oh, really?

   19. JRJoe Rogan35:40

       Swim like this. 'Cause he swam like almost like a dolphin. He didn't swim like a person.

   20. TVTheo Von35:46

       Well, dude, you have to think. The first people-

   21. JRJoe Rogan35:47

       It wasn't him?

   22. NANarrator35:48

       No.

   23. JRJoe Rogan35:48

       No? Who was it? Who was The Man from Atlantis? Who was the, the main actor?

   24. NANarrator35:54

       He looks more like Patrick Duffy.

   25. JRJoe Rogan35:55

       Patrick Duffy, that's right. I confuse those two.

   26. TVTheo Von35:57

       Well, Joe, you have to think. Probably the first people-

   27. NANarrator35:59

       That guy.

   28. TVTheo Von35:59

       Oh wow, that dude, huh? Look at that pervert.

   29. JRJoe Rogan36:00

       You never saw this? The Man from Atlantis?

   30. TVTheo Von36:02

       Nuh-uh.
10. 59:39 – 1:02:13

    How Joe ‘just talks’ to guests: nervous first-timers, audience pressure, and authenticity

    1. TVTheo Von59:39

       Did you ever interview Willie Nelson? Do you ever interview him?

    2. JRJoe Rogan59:41

       No, I would love to interview Willie Nelson.

    3. TVTheo Von59:43

       Man.

    4. JRJoe Rogan59:43

       I though... I don't think I interview people. I think I just talk to them.

    5. TVTheo Von59:46

       That's a good point. Yeah, sorry. Do you ever just talk to Willie Nelson?

    6. JRJoe Rogan59:48

       No, it's okay. But I mean, people have said that, like about, "I love your interview." And I'm always like, "Ee, I mean, kinda? Sorta?" It's really just a conversation.

    7. TVTheo Von59:56

       Well, some people, I think, if you're curious on information from them-

    8. JRJoe Rogan1:00:00

       Yes.

    9. TVTheo Von1:00:00

       ... then you wanna ask them more things, like about that they know about that you don't know about.

    10. JRJoe Rogan1:00:04

        Oh yeah, for sure. Like, if I'm talking to Michio Kaku or, you know, a quantum physicist or someone like that, I, I ask questions.

    11. TVTheo Von1:00:11

        Yeah.

    12. JRJoe Rogan1:00:11

        I'm es- essentially interviewing them and ... Well, if it's especially it's something that I really have no understanding of.

    13. TVTheo Von1:00:17

        Yeah.

    14. JRJoe Rogan1:00:17

        Yeah. But for the most part, I'm just talking to people.

    15. TVTheo Von1:00:20

        Yeah.

    16. JRJoe Rogan1:00:20

        Which is like ... It takes a lot of pressure off too, 'cause they're like, "What subject do you wanna cover?" I'm like, "I don't know. Let's just talk."

    17. TVTheo Von1:00:26

        Yeah.

    18. JRJoe Rogan1:00:26

        Some people are weirded out by that, you know. Like, you and I, it's like s- we've known each other so long, we don't have to talk about what we're gonna talk about. We just get in here and start rolling.

    19. TVTheo Von1:00:34

        Yeah, it's a little easier too. I think it gets easier too when you've been in here before.

    20. JRJoe Rogan1:00:38

        Yeah. It's weird when you see people for the first time and you see them lock up and they're nervous and I'm ... And I'm always just like, "I'm gonna hold your hand and we- we're gonna get through this. I'm gonna get you 20 minutes in and you're gonna not even know you're here."

    21. TVTheo Von1:00:51

        Have you had people that really locked up?

    22. JRJoe Rogan1:00:53

        Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I've had people get real nervous and you see them breathing funny and they, they can't talk that good because they can't get breath, you know? And ... But it's, it's okay. I always just like, "Let's just, let's just calm this thing down."

    23. TVTheo Von1:01:05

        Yeah.

    24. JRJoe Rogan1:01:06

        "We're gonna be all right."

    25. TVTheo Von1:01:07

        It's pretty normal, I think, some people trying something new.

    26. JRJoe Rogan1:01:10

        But it's just weird, the, the numbers. That's what weirds people out, the numbers of humans. That, that freaks people out. Like, you, you can't ... It's hard to just be yourself in front of millions of people.

    27. TVTheo Von1:01:22

        Yeah.

    28. JRJoe Rogan1:01:23

        ... but you can. And you do it, I do it, we do it.

    29. TVTheo Von1:01:25

        Yeah.

    30. JRJoe Rogan1:01:25

        You can just be yourself. You are the same fucking dude if you and I are going, having dinner somewhere or if we're at a comedy club or if we're here.
11. 1:02:13 – 1:15:44

    Mushroom ‘frequency’ revelation and Theo’s morning discipline (earplugs, prayer, meditation, journaling)

    1. JRJoe Rogan1:02:13

       I had a revelation the other night that I forgot about. I was on mushrooms.

    2. TVTheo Von1:02:17

       Mm-hmm.

    3. JRJoe Rogan1:02:18

       And, um, I closed my eyes and I realized that in certain circumstances, when I'm healthy, when I'm, when everything's going great, I have a very specific frequency. It's a different frequency. And this, this weird revelation that I had while I was high told, showed me this. It was like, it was almost like a lesson that I was learning. And it was like here's you now. You're very healthy. You, you just ... I, I had an IV vitamin drip that day. I'd worked out, I did the cold plunge, did the sauna. No conflicts, no, no problem in my personal life, no problem in my business life. Everything was beautiful and I had this like, whoo. And I, and then it showed me there's times where you don't have that, where you're irritable, where you're, you're tired, where you're sick, where you're hurt. There's all these different-

    4. TVTheo Von1:03:11

       Hmm.

    5. JRJoe Rogan1:03:11

       ... frequencies that you have and it made me realize like you think about your health and you think about like how you feel and whether or not you're present. You think of it as just like, it's better to just be this way. But you don't realize that you're achieving a certain frequency. I was achieving a certain frequency at, at that moment and I realized like this is attainable and this is what I should strive for and that I could stay at this frequency. But one of the things it was telling me is to don't drink.

    6. TVTheo Von1:03:38

       Hmm.

    7. JRJoe Rogan1:03:38

       It was like right when I was there, it was like don't drink. 'Cause if you're drinking right now, you're gonna, you're gonna kill this frequency. It's gonna dull it. Like you might have less inhibitions, but it will dull this frequency.

    8. TVTheo Von1:03:46

       Wow.

    9. JRJoe Rogan1:03:47

       It was very interesting. It was like one of them weird mushroom moments.

    10. TVTheo Von1:03:50

        Yeah.

    11. JRJoe Rogan1:03:51

        Where the mushroom's like, "Hey, I, this is probably something you should think about."

    12. TVTheo Von1:03:54

        Yeah.

    13. JRJoe Rogan1:03:54

        Because I don't think you think about it this way. You just indulgent, you know, you do this, you do that, you have a slice of pizza-

    14. TVTheo Von1:04:00

        Yeah.

    15. JRJoe Rogan1:04:00

        ... you eat a meatball sub, you're fine. What, but what's going on with your, your overall energy when you do that? You really want your energy to be at the m- the best possible state, but you don't think about it that way.

    16. TVTheo Von1:04:12

        Right. But we, yeah, you don't think about it exactly like that way, but we do think about it in ways like, like our attitude. Like we have little words we use to describe-

    17. JRJoe Rogan1:04:21

        Mm-hmm.

    18. TVTheo Von1:04:21

        ... like kind of like elements of it I guess?

    19. JRJoe Rogan1:04:23

        Yeah. Yeah.

    20. TVTheo Von1:04:23

        But I wonder in the future if there will be a way that we can measure whatever that frequency is. Like-

    21. JRJoe Rogan1:04:29

        Hmm.

    22. TVTheo Von1:04:29

        ... sometimes it feels like we're kind of primitive in the understand, in the like the quantifying of, um, like we take our temperature, you know?

    23. JRJoe Rogan1:04:37

        Mm-hmm.

    24. TVTheo Von1:04:37

        Like just in things that we-

    25. JRJoe Rogan1:04:39

        Blood pressure.

    26. TVTheo Von1:04:40

        Yeah, in, in little things that we use to evaluate us. Sometimes, uh, I feel like we're on a plane that feels really old sometimes.

    27. JRJoe Rogan1:04:47

        Hmm.

    28. TVTheo Von1:04:47

        Like there should be like another-

    29. JRJoe Rogan1:04:50

        Yeah.

    30. TVTheo Von1:04:50

        ... plane where we start to m- Like is there a number for what my frequency is today? Because you kind of feel that. It's like where you operate at and-
