2. 0:06 – 2:14

   Comedy club discipline: hecklers, crowd work clips, and audience behavior

   1. CQColin Quinn0:06

      Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day. (rock music) Hello, Hello, Joe. Joe, that was fun last night. Let me just start by saying what a fun time at the club. Um, the green room and everything else. And here's what I was, I was talking to the head of security at the club, here's what I love about the club. I worked the club. I had a great weekend b- about a couple of months ago, is they keep the audience in line. Nobody's heckling without getting booted. Is that not the most important thing in comedy that nobody talks about?

   2. JRJoe Rogan0:41

      It's very important.

   3. CQColin Quinn0:43

      It's unbelievable.

   4. JRJoe Rogan0:44

      And unfortunately, there's so many crowd work, uh, clips that get put out on Instagram-

   5. CQColin Quinn0:50

      Right.

   6. JRJoe Rogan0:50

      ... and like people are now thinking that they wanna be a part of the show.

   7. CQColin Quinn0:55

      Yeah.

   8. JRJoe Rogan0:55

      And so I see people much more often chiming in and yelling things out, and they think they're gonna be a part of things.

   9. CQColin Quinn1:02

      Yeah. And even when you go, when you try to be nice on the first line, you go, "That was okay, sir." Then they try again, you're like, "Listen, you pi- oh my god."

   10. JRJoe Rogan1:10

       Yeah.

   11. CQColin Quinn1:10

       But that's what I love about your club. Everybody there just has the energy like, "We're gonna tell you right now. Another word, you're out." That's how it should be.

   12. JRJoe Rogan1:18

       Yeah.

   13. CQColin Quinn1:18

       'Cause as you know, there's no, nobody heckles once.

   14. JRJoe Rogan1:22

       Right.

   15. CQColin Quinn1:23

       Nobody's ever heckled once.

   16. JRJoe Rogan1:24

       Nobody heckles sober either.

   17. CQColin Quinn1:26

       And nobody heckles sober.

   18. JRJoe Rogan1:27

       (laughs)

   19. CQColin Quinn1:27

       And they just like to start trouble. And the green room was fun, and even though I didn't go on, it was a, I also didn't go on because you have to understand the language where I was like, you're like, "You wanna go on?" I go, "Um, I don't really wanna go on." They go, "Oh, that's cool." But really then you're supposed to say, "The crowd really wants you to go on." And I'm like, "Joe, I don't wanna bump anybody." "No, you wouldn't be bumping anybody. We'll just cut Tony's time down." "Joe, I don't wanna be that guy." You're like, "Don't be ridiculous."

   20. JRJoe Rogan1:52

       Oh, I have to dance with you.

   21. CQColin Quinn1:53

       Go on. (laughs)

   22. JRJoe Rogan1:54

       I didn't know you wanted to dance.

   23. CQColin Quinn1:55

       Yeah. (laughs)

   24. JRJoe Rogan1:56

       If you, you wanna dance tonight?

   25. CQColin Quinn1:57

       No, I gotta leave, um, go to Seattle tonight.

   26. JRJoe Rogan1:59

       What the fuck?

   27. CQColin Quinn2:00

       I gotta go. (laughs) I would love to, yeah.

   28. JRJoe Rogan2:02

       Are you, are you performing tonight in Seattle?

   29. CQColin Quinn2:04

       No, no.

   30. JRJoe Rogan2:05

       Well, maybe I can change my flight, i-... Well, let's see-
3. 2:14 – 3:59

   Austin as a comedy hub: newcomers, flights, and Joe DeRosa’s food influence

   1. CQColin Quinn2:14

      It keeps booming every time I was here. Last time I was here was COVID.

   2. JRJoe Rogan2:16

      Yeah, I don't think it's gonna get too much bigger. I think-

   3. CQColin Quinn2:18

      And, uh-

   4. JRJoe Rogan2:18

      ... we've reached peak.

   5. CQColin Quinn2:19

      You think so?

   6. JRJoe Rogan2:20

      Yeah. Yeah, I think that's about it.

   7. CQColin Quinn2:21

      Do you think Shane Gillis was the last citizen they allowed in?

   8. JRJoe Rogan2:23

      No, there's a few more coming. Joe DeRosa just got a place here.

   9. CQColin Quinn2:27

      He did?

   10. JRJoe Rogan2:27

       Yeah, and Joey Diaz is getting a place here.

   11. CQColin Quinn2:29

       I can't believe the two Joe Dees are gonna be here. Um-

   12. JRJoe Rogan2:32

       Let's go.

   13. CQColin Quinn2:33

       That's great.

   14. JRJoe Rogan2:34

       Joe Diaz and Joe DeRosa is a fierce combination.

   15. CQColin Quinn2:37

       I know, but I spoke to Joe DeRosa yesterday, and I deliberately didn't go to the chicken place because of Joe DeRosa.

   16. JRJoe Rogan2:41

       Really? Why?

   17. CQColin Quinn2:42

       Because when he recommended it, it just bugged me, his, his confidence when he goes, "You gotta try this chicken place." And I was like, "Uh."

   18. JRJoe Rogan2:50

       It's Gus' Fried Chicken-

   19. CQColin Quinn2:51

       I know.

   20. JRJoe Rogan2:52

       ... and it's phenomenal.

   21. CQColin Quinn2:53

       I just don't like that Joe's positioned himself as the new-

   22. JRJoe Rogan2:56

       I understand.

   23. CQColin Quinn2:56

       ... uh, gastronomic expert in comedy.

   24. JRJoe Rogan2:58

       Right, because he owns a sub shop.

   25. CQColin Quinn3:00

       Yeah.

   26. JRJoe Rogan3:00

       By the way, it's a good sub shop though.

   27. CQColin Quinn3:02

       I heard it's amazing.

   28. JRJoe Rogan3:02

       It's fucking great.

   29. CQColin Quinn3:03

       I'm embarrassed I've never been there.

   30. JRJoe Rogan3:04

       It's fucking great. He brought some over when they were doing Moontower. He was in town, he brought some-
4. 3:59 – 6:48

   Green-room culture, ball-busting, and tipping as a social signal

   1. CQColin Quinn3:59

      But, uh, (laughs) what about, uh, yeah. The, um, yeah, before I came down here, I was j-... 'Cause in New York, it's so funny, we were in the green room last night, all I wanna do is bust balls with everybody.

   2. JRJoe Rogan4:13

      Yeah.

   3. CQColin Quinn4:13

      Like, that's the, that's what I live for.

   4. JRJoe Rogan4:15

      It's fun.

   5. CQColin Quinn4:16

      You know? And, uh, when you see Shane Gillis in there, Shane Gillis is just that guy, he's so big, I just want you to f-... I want you to ma-... I want you to lock him in a, in a basement and just feed him, like, red meat-

   6. JRJoe Rogan4:29

      (laughs)

   7. CQColin Quinn4:29

      ... and make him train MMA for, like, two years and just eat mesculin and red meat.

   8. JRJoe Rogan4:33

      Nice.

   9. CQColin Quinn4:33

      And just become a stone cold killer.

   10. JRJoe Rogan4:35

       Wow.

   11. CQColin Quinn4:36

       That's my dream.

   12. JRJoe Rogan4:37

       I got him working out.

   13. CQColin Quinn4:38

       Apprecia-... Yeah, I know.

   14. JRJoe Rogan4:39

       Yeah.

   15. CQColin Quinn4:39

       He looked sore yesterday. He said he really worked out.

   16. JRJoe Rogan4:41

       He was sore. We did two, two hard days this week.

   17. CQColin Quinn4:43

       Look how big he is.

   18. JRJoe Rogan4:44

       He's a big fuck.

   19. CQColin Quinn4:45

       Yeah.

   20. JRJoe Rogan4:45

       Big old football player kid.

   21. CQColin Quinn4:46

       If I was as big as him, I wouldn't be a comic.

   22. JRJoe Rogan4:48

       No?

   23. CQColin Quinn4:49

       I'd be a b-... I'd be an animal.

   24. JRJoe Rogan4:50

       (laughs)

   25. CQColin Quinn4:51

       I'd be working security at the club telling people, "Shut up."

   26. JRJoe Rogan4:54

       (laughs)

   27. CQColin Quinn4:54

       "Tony's trying to do something up there."

   28. JRJoe Rogan4:58

       (laughs)

   29. CQColin Quinn4:59

       Comedy's like, it's got an anger to it, don't you think?

   30. JRJoe Rogan5:02

       A little bit. Yeah.
5. 6:48 – 11:15

   Colin’s new special filmed for psychiatrists + social media’s psychological fallout

   1. CQColin Quinn6:48

      Yeah. Well, everywhere. I mean, um, you know, I just did a special, by the way, about, uh, um, it's releasing tomorrow. It's about, uh, I did it in front of a psychiatrists' convention.

   2. JRJoe Rogan6:59

      Did you really?

   3. CQColin Quinn7:00

      Yeah. Yeah.

   4. JRJoe Rogan7:01

      Wow.

   5. CQColin Quinn7:02

      I just did it. And, um, so I f- I found, I sought out a psychiatrists' convention and went there and said, "Hey, would you guys let me go on and just do my s- shoot my special in front of you?"

   6. JRJoe Rogan7:11

      (laughs)

   7. CQColin Quinn7:11

      And they said sure. So I did a whole thing. And then they analyzed me afterwards and it was funny.

   8. JRJoe Rogan7:16

      What k- What room was it at?

   9. CQColin Quinn7:18

      It was a ballroom, like one of those conven- you know, it was like a Washington DC, some hotel off the beaten path where they were just having a convention.

   10. JRJoe Rogan7:26

       And they did not plan on you being there?

   11. CQColin Quinn7:28

       No.

   12. JRJoe Rogan7:29

       And so you knew they were gonna be there at that time.

   13. CQColin Quinn7:32

       Yeah.

   14. JRJoe Rogan7:32

       And you coordinated with them.

   15. CQColin Quinn7:33

       Yeah.

   16. JRJoe Rogan7:33

       You set up cameras, the whole deal.

   17. CQColin Quinn7:35

       Yeah.

   18. JRJoe Rogan7:35

       Did you inform them before, like the psychiatrists beforehand they were gonna be a part of a comedy special?

   19. CQColin Quinn7:40

       Well, they were, they were welcome to come to the show or not. But yeah, we told them before, you know, "If you come, you might be on film." But yeah, they didn't have to show up. Obviously, half of them probably showed up. But it was, uh, it was, it was-

   20. JRJoe Rogan7:51

       That's a great idea.

   21. CQColin Quinn7:51

       ... interesting. Yeah, I thought it was, uh, because it's about the world, how we're having a psychotic break-

   22. JRJoe Rogan7:56

       Hmm.

   23. CQColin Quinn7:56

       ... when we talk about the planet. So it was kind of, uh, fun for me because, you know, it w- it was interesting from that angle, you know?

   24. JRJoe Rogan8:03

       Well-

   25. CQColin Quinn8:03

       The whole special is built around it.

   26. JRJoe Rogan8:05

       ... it's so much more discussed. The bad news is so much more discussed. People's problems are so much more discussed. Having problems is so much more a thing that people love to talk about now. It makes you more interesting, it gives you something to talk about. And it's just so pervasive. And I think social media has just broken people's brains.

   27. CQColin Quinn8:26

       Social media started as a fun aunt's kitchen where everybody was being positive and saying like, "Hey," you know, "dance between the raindrops." And, and then suddenly somebody was like, "Shut up, bitch. You fat bitch."

   28. JRJoe Rogan8:39

       (laughs)

   29. CQColin Quinn8:39

       "Fuck you and the raindrops." And it re- It just unleashed all of us.

   30. JRJoe Rogan8:42

       Yeah.
6. 11:15 – 14:01

   Standup as the last honest feedback loop (and why sitcom work can dull your act)

   1. JRJoe Rogan11:15

      It's fun though. Don't you still enjoy it?

   2. CQColin Quinn11:16

      It's the best. It's the only honest, uh, reaction you can get in today. There's-

   3. JRJoe Rogan11:23

      Well, it's-

   4. CQColin Quinn11:23

      ... nothing virtual about it.

   5. JRJoe Rogan11:24

      ... the most honest form of entertainment because you write it, you perform it, you, you produce it, you edit it. Like, I was saying, like, how easy doing sitcoms was when I first started doing sitcoms.

   6. CQColin Quinn11:36

      Oh, yeah.

   7. JRJoe Rogan11:37

      I was like-

   8. CQColin Quinn11:37

      That's right.

   9. JRJoe Rogan11:37

      I go, "They're great writers." They write you great jokes. You don't even have to work hard.

   10. CQColin Quinn11:42

       Yeah.

   11. JRJoe Rogan11:42

       And I was talking about how bad my act suffered during those days-

   12. CQColin Quinn11:45

       Yeah.

   13. JRJoe Rogan11:45

       ... 'cause when I was, uh, first on a sitcom in '94, we were working like 12 hours a day on just radio.

   14. CQColin Quinn11:49

       News radio.

   15. JRJoe Rogan11:50

       Like, it was long, long, long days. So by the end of the day, I'm exhausted. So if I did go up, it was just the same old material-

   16. CQColin Quinn11:57

       That's right.

   17. JRJoe Rogan11:57

       ... just reha- I wasn't connected to it anymore. I was like f- flat.

   18. CQColin Quinn12:01

       Yeah.

   19. JRJoe Rogan12:01

       You know? And y- because when they're writing for you, it's so much easier. Like, the jokes are already there.

   20. CQColin Quinn12:07

       Of course.

   21. JRJoe Rogan12:08

       All you have to do is, like, add your little sauce to them.

   22. CQColin Quinn12:10

       It's great.

   23. JRJoe Rogan12:11

       You know, flare them up a little bit.

   24. CQColin Quinn12:13

       I know, I get so jealous of the idea of like the old days comedians would just have writers.

   25. JRJoe Rogan12:18

       Oh, yeah?

   26. CQColin Quinn12:19

       Like, "What do you got for me?" We gotta go out and think of this stuff.

   27. JRJoe Rogan12:21

       A few people still do that, right?

   28. CQColin Quinn12:23

       Yeah, I'm sure they do.

   29. JRJoe Rogan12:23

       A few, few guys do. Like I, I know obviously the guys who host talk shows do.

   30. CQColin Quinn12:27

       Yeah.
7. 14:01 – 16:05

   COVID comedy, Zoom hacks, teleprompters, and performing with imperfect memory

   1. JRJoe Rogan14:01

      How much time did you take off during COVID?

   2. CQColin Quinn14:04

      I, I did a few shows. I mean, I did some shows that were like, on... I did remote shows, which I loved remote comedy.

   3. JRJoe Rogan14:11

      Really?

   4. CQColin Quinn14:11

      I loved it.

   5. JRJoe Rogan14:12

      Like Zoom comedy?

   6. CQColin Quinn14:13

      Zoom comedy. I did about-

   7. JRJoe Rogan14:14

      You loved it?

   8. CQColin Quinn14:15

      I loved it.

   9. JRJoe Rogan14:15

      You're the only guy I've talked to.

   10. CQColin Quinn14:17

       I mean-

   11. JRJoe Rogan14:17

       Everybody else said it was hell.

   12. CQColin Quinn14:19

       Because I just read. They think I'm s- looking at them. I'm reading my act.

   13. JRJoe Rogan14:24

       Ah.

   14. CQColin Quinn14:24

       So any new material was memorized immediately.

   15. JRJoe Rogan14:27

       Oh.

   16. CQColin Quinn14:28

       It was great. Every new joke.

   17. JRJoe Rogan14:30

       Maybe you should get a teleprompter.

   18. CQColin Quinn14:31

       What's that?

   19. JRJoe Rogan14:32

       Maybe you should get a teleprompter.

   20. CQColin Quinn14:32

       I've tried teleprompters, yeah.

   21. JRJoe Rogan14:34

       Yeah?

   22. CQColin Quinn14:34

       I wish I could bring them up all the time, yeah.

   23. JRJoe Rogan14:36

       You try it on stage?

   24. CQColin Quinn14:37

       I love teleprompters.

   25. JRJoe Rogan14:39

       No shit. Mm.

   26. CQColin Quinn14:40

       Yeah.

   27. JRJoe Rogan14:41

       Yeah, it's a good way to make sure you remember your shit.

   28. CQColin Quinn14:43

       Yes. Teleprompter's the greatest.

   29. JRJoe Rogan14:45

       'Cause the worst feeling is when you get back to the green room and you're like, "Fuck that tagline!"

   30. CQColin Quinn14:50

       (laughs)
8. 16:05 – 18:01

   Bruce Lee nostalgia to real-vs-fake martial arts (and the hidden cost of head trauma)

   1. CQColin Quinn16:05

      Yeah, they had the whole, with the whole new glasses. I'll tell you, certain people just look great in sunglasses. The first person I noticed as a kid, your, one of your idols, Bruce Lee.

   2. JRJoe Rogan16:14

      Oh, yeah.

   3. CQColin Quinn16:14

      I go, "That guy looks badass in sunglasses."

   4. JRJoe Rogan16:16

      Oh, yeah.

   5. CQColin Quinn16:16

      And he had like... They weren't completely dark, they were like mixed. I was like-

   6. JRJoe Rogan16:20

      Yeah.

   7. CQColin Quinn16:20

      ... "That looks cool."

   8. JRJoe Rogan16:21

      Yeah. He was a cool motherfucker.

   9. CQColin Quinn16:23

      He was a cool motherfucker.

   10. JRJoe Rogan16:25

       Yeah. That dude changed the world.

   11. CQColin Quinn16:27

       Unbelievable.

   12. JRJoe Rogan16:28

       Nobody thought about doing karate before Bruce Lee. (laughs)

   13. CQColin Quinn16:31

       No.

   14. JRJoe Rogan16:31

       Nobody cared. (laughs)

   15. CQColin Quinn16:32

       Well, even when he was on The Green Hornet, I'm old enough, I was there for The Green Hornet days and you're like, "Yeah, that's kinda cool," but you didn't think about it. But the minute those movies came out, we all saw them when they first came out. I saw Chinese Connection it was called, Fist of Fury.

   16. JRJoe Rogan16:45

       Mm-hmm.

   17. CQColin Quinn16:45

       They changed the titles now, but it was Chinese Connection was the first one, then Fist of Fury, and then Enter the Dragon.

   18. JRJoe Rogan16:51

       Yeah.

   19. CQColin Quinn16:51

       Those are the three big ones and, uh-

   20. JRJoe Rogan16:53

       And it was the first time we ever saw somebody with abs.

   21. CQColin Quinn16:56

       Yes.

   22. JRJoe Rogan16:57

       We're like, "Whoa."

   23. CQColin Quinn16:58

       Yes! (laughs)

   24. JRJoe Rogan16:58

       "How cool does that look?"

   25. CQColin Quinn16:59

       Yes.

   26. JRJoe Rogan16:59

       How cool does it look to be ripped?

   27. CQColin Quinn17:01

       Yeah.

   28. JRJoe Rogan17:02

       Look at that. What? Look at that. Come on.

   29. CQColin Quinn17:03

       I mean, I hate to say it but my profile pic when I was 19, I basically have the same physique. I don't care what anyone says. Um-

   30. JRJoe Rogan17:09

       He kinda looks like a twink today though.
9. 18:01 – 34:39

   Campus protests, ideology, and why moderates lose in a culture built for extremists

   1. JRJoe Rogan18:01

      We're waiting for Kent State to jump off. You seen these fucking protests that are happening in colleges?

   2. CQColin Quinn18:05

      Yeah.

   3. JRJoe Rogan18:05

      First of all, these kids are all wearing masks. They're outside, they're protesting, and they're all wearing masks.

   4. CQColin Quinn18:13

      Mm-hmm.

   5. JRJoe Rogan18:13

      I, I say that it's like the Democrats MAGA hat. That's what the mask is.

   6. CQColin Quinn18:18

      (laughs)

   7. JRJoe Rogan18:18

      Isn't it?

   8. CQColin Quinn18:19

      Nice. Yeah.

   9. JRJoe Rogan18:20

      You're letting everybody know. You're letting everybody know that you're a part of the clan.

   10. CQColin Quinn18:23

       Yeah.

   11. JRJoe Rogan18:23

       That you're on the good side.

   12. CQColin Quinn18:25

       ... yeah.

   13. JRJoe Rogan18:25

       I'm masking, I'm masking for your safety.

   14. CQColin Quinn18:28

       Yeah.

   15. JRJoe Rogan18:28

       They're just bizarre human beings coming out of colleges today.

   16. CQColin Quinn18:31

       Well, I look at it-

   17. JRJoe Rogan18:32

       Fully brainwashed.

   18. CQColin Quinn18:33

       Yeah. Well, it's j- I say it this, this way. It's, it's 20 pe- uh, let's say 20% of them are just, 20% of them are th- are kids that were raised to hate the West. Everything in the West is bad. They're brainwashed, if, which is really the whole curriculum is 20% of that. Then I'd say 20% are kids that are, they're ba- uh, they're the kids that feel like they wanna be, like, like when I was in college. Like when I was in college, remember this is happening during finals week, so 20% of finals protestors where somebody came up to- if somebody came up to me when I was in college and said, "Listen, next week is finals. You know you're gonna fail. How about this? We're gonna give you some money from this George Soros founded," it's a Venmo thing, just, "We're gonna give you money. You stand outside and you block the other..." Not only do you not have to take your finals, you're gonna block the kids that are gonna make you look bad and pass their finals. You're gonna block them from coming to class. I would have said, "Give me the, give me the, give me the scarf. I'll put it on right now."

   19. JRJoe Rogan19:45

       (laughs)

   20. CQColin Quinn19:45

       Then you got 20% kids are gonna be, they're like the ones that are peer pressured by their roommates, 'cause if you're roommates with people in college, they know your schedule. So they go, "Hey, we're gonna go protest genocide." You can't say, "I'm going, I was gonna go to the bar."

   21. JRJoe Rogan20:03

       (laughs)

   22. CQColin Quinn20:03

       So half these kids are like, "Goddammit. Now I gotta go out to the protest or I look bad in front of all my roommates."

   23. JRJoe Rogan20:09

       Have you ever seen when they get interviewed? The Konstantin Kisin from, uh, Trigonometry, he went to the protests and he was just asking them-

   24. CQColin Quinn20:16

       Yeah.

   25. JRJoe Rogan20:16

       ... like, "What, the river to the sea, what does that mean to you?"

   26. CQColin Quinn20:19

       Right.

   27. JRJoe Rogan20:19

       Like, asking questions.

   28. CQColin Quinn20:20

       Yeah.

   29. JRJoe Rogan20:21

       Like, "What do you, what do you think should happen?" Like, uh, "Wh- wha- how, what is, what do you think the history of Palestine is?"

   30. CQColin Quinn20:26

       Right.
10. 34:39 – 43:01

    Dolphins, killer whales, and a high-at-sea consciousness thought experiment

    1. CQColin Quinn34:39

       I bet, I bet dolphins have CTE.

    2. JRJoe Rogan34:41

       I bet they don't. I bet they glide right into that water column.

    3. CQColin Quinn34:44

       Everybody always says how smart they are and I'm like, "Yeah, they seem really intelligent sometimes."

    4. JRJoe Rogan34:48

       You're dismissing the intelligence of dolphins?

    5. CQColin Quinn34:50

       Yeah. When anybody bounces a beach ball on their nose and that's their, they're the valedictorian of the animal kingdom, that's enough for me. (laughs)

    6. JRJoe Rogan34:56

       I think you have to do that if you're trapped in that swimming pool if you want to get fed.

    7. CQColin Quinn35:00

       (laughs)

    8. JRJoe Rogan35:00

       I think you'd put a beach ball in your nose too.

    9. CQColin Quinn35:02

       (laughs) Yeah, right.

    10. JRJoe Rogan35:03

        That's the problem. The problem is we're so evil we'll take intelligent things and lock them in a swimming pool-

    11. CQColin Quinn35:07

        (laughs)

    12. JRJoe Rogan35:07

        ... if we can't understand their language. Like, "What? What?"

    13. CQColin Quinn35:10

        (laughs)

    14. JRJoe Rogan35:10

        "I don't know what you're saying. Do you want a fish or not? Here's the ball, motherfucker." That's what it is.

    15. CQColin Quinn35:19

        (laughs)

    16. JRJoe Rogan35:20

        Out in the wild though, they're awesome.

    17. CQColin Quinn35:21

        Yeah.

    18. JRJoe Rogan35:21

        They play with you. They come hang out.

    19. CQColin Quinn35:23

        They do.

    20. JRJoe Rogan35:23

        They go by your boat. They, they jump and they, they literally want you to see them. They, they play with people. You can swim with them. They'll save you from sharks. If sharks are-

    21. CQColin Quinn35:32

        Oh, I've seen that.

    22. JRJoe Rogan35:33

        ... coming by, they'll fight the sharks off.

    23. CQColin Quinn35:34

        I saw a video of that.

    24. JRJoe Rogan35:35

        Yeah. They save people from sharks-

    25. GUGuest35:36

        It's pretty cool.

    26. JRJoe Rogan35:36

        ... all the time. They have a cerebral cortex that's 40% larger than a human being's.

    27. CQColin Quinn35:41

        What?

    28. JRJoe Rogan35:42

        Yeah. 40%.

    29. CQColin Quinn35:45

        (sighs)

    30. JRJoe Rogan35:45

        They have dialects.
11. 43:01 – 1:26:13

    Old New York, Times Square’s transformation, and the ‘Deep Throat’ era of public porn

    1. JRJoe Rogan43:01

       What a great name for a neighborhood.

    2. CQColin Quinn43:03

       Hell's Kitchen, yeah.

    3. JRJoe Rogan43:04

       What a great name.

    4. CQColin Quinn43:05

       Oh, yeah.

    5. JRJoe Rogan43:05

       I mean, you kinda have t- have to act crazy if you're there.

    6. CQColin Quinn43:08

       And they did. Yeah, they, they... I mean, it's-

    7. JRJoe Rogan43:10

       If you're gonna move to Hell's Kitchen, that's a very specific mindset.

    8. CQColin Quinn43:13

       It... Well, now, of course, it's different, but it was the most... Just imagine a neighborhood in the middle of Times Square when Times Square was Taxi Driver.

    9. JRJoe Rogan43:21

       Mm-hmm.

    10. CQColin Quinn43:22

        So they had to deal with all of that. The theaters, so their... all the stagehands were there.

    11. JRJoe Rogan43:27

        Mm-hmm.

    12. CQColin Quinn43:28

        All the Teamsters were there. There... It was a combination of everything, all the music studio, Lincoln Center on one side, all these pl-... And the... in the middle is all these crazy Irish guys and Puerto Ricans.

    13. JRJoe Rogan43:38

        Yeah. Just so... And so much music and so much stuff came out of that area.

    14. CQColin Quinn43:43

        It's crazy.

    15. JRJoe Rogan43:45

        It really is when you really think about it.

    16. CQColin Quinn43:47

        It... It's a really wild, wild... Eh, the center of the universe, they used to call it.

    17. JRJoe Rogan43:51

        And for how long? Like, 20 years?

    18. CQColin Quinn43:53

        Uh, like 50, 60.

    19. JRJoe Rogan43:54

        50, 60?

    20. CQColin Quinn43:55

        Yeah.

    21. JRJoe Rogan43:55

        Really? It was that hot for that many years? When can-

    22. CQColin Quinn43:59

        Well, hot in what way? I mean, because Times Square-

    23. JRJoe Rogan44:01

        Hot in, like, the interesting aspect of it, like-

    24. CQColin Quinn44:03

        The interesting aspect, I bet-

    25. JRJoe Rogan44:04

        Yeah.

    26. CQColin Quinn44:04

        ... it was four- 40 to 50 years. I would say from 1950 to 2000, 2000.

    27. JRJoe Rogan44:10

        What killed it? Giuliani?

    28. CQColin Quinn44:12

        No, it just became-

    29. JRJoe Rogan44:13

        (laughs)

    30. CQColin Quinn44:13

        Well, it became Times Square. You're talking about Times Square?
