1. 0:00 – 1:21

   Austin studio dreams: podcast space near the Comedy Mothership

   1. NANarrator0:00

      (drum roll) Joe Rogan podcast, check it out. The Joe Rogan Experience. Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night. All day. (rock music)

   2. JRJoe Rogan0:12

      Joe Rogan!

   3. DPDeric Poston0:13

      My brother.

   4. JRJoe Rogan0:14

      That's my man. What's happening?

   5. DPDeric Poston0:15

      Let's get it. (laughs)

   6. JRJoe Rogan0:16

      Let's go.

   7. DPDeric Poston0:16

      Joe Rogan.

   8. JRJoe Rogan0:17

      Bro, we've had a million conversations like this, uh, in the green room.

   9. DPDeric Poston0:21

      Yeah.

   10. JRJoe Rogan0:21

       We've already done like a thousand podcasts.

   11. DPDeric Poston0:23

       Th- This is my every night right here.

   12. JRJoe Rogan0:24

       We need a fucking studio in that club. You know? We need to put a podcast studio in that club. I've been thinking about it, but like, we don't have the space for it.

   13. DPDeric Poston0:32

       Yeah, where would it go?

   14. JRJoe Rogan0:33

       It wouldn't go anywhere. There's no place. There's no ... We have ... We used ... It's like very efficient. We have all the space. I don't know. (dishes clanking)

   15. DPDeric Poston0:40

       Yeah, but you gotta put-

   16. JRJoe Rogan0:41

       I think what we need is a apartment. We need an apartment close, (plate clanks) so we can just go right over.

   17. DPDeric Poston0:47

       Go right over.

   18. JRJoe Rogan0:48

       Like, go ... A apartment that's just set up as a studio. When you get in there it's just all studio.

   19. DPDeric Poston0:53

       That would be nice, Joe.

   20. JRJoe Rogan0:54

       Yeah. 'Cause there's so many apartments that are available in that area, right?

   21. NANarrator0:57

       I just got one.

   22. JRJoe Rogan0:58

       Yeah, Jamie just got one.

   23. DPDeric Poston0:59

       (laughs)

   24. NANarrator1:00

       ... get next door so I don't have a neighbor.

   25. JRJoe Rogan1:02

       Oh, that's not a bad idea.

   26. NANarrator1:04

       Yeah.

   27. JRJoe Rogan1:04

       How far away are you from my club?

   28. NANarrator1:05

       Two blocks.

   29. JRJoe Rogan1:06

       Ooh, let's go. Is the nextdoor neighbor open?

   30. NANarrator1:10

       I think they all are.
2. 1:21 – 2:46

   Downtown LA chaos, donuts, and the pull of comfort neighborhoods

   1. JRJoe Rogan1:21

      ... see the city. I want as ... I was gonna do that in downtown LA.

   2. DPDeric Poston1:25

      Really?

   3. JRJoe Rogan1:25

      Yeah, but then I went to downtown LA.

   4. DPDeric Poston1:27

      (laughs)

   5. JRJoe Rogan1:27

      I'm like, "Oh my God." And I brought my family, and I brought my daughters when they were young, and I was like, "Oh my God, am I gonna have to kill somebody?" Like, this is c- It was crazy. And this is pre-pandemic, man.

   6. DPDeric Poston1:39

      Yeah.

   7. JRJoe Rogan1:39

      This is before the shit hit the fan. I'm like, people were just pissing all over the place.

   8. DPDeric Poston1:43

      (laughs)

   9. JRJoe Rogan1:43

      It smelled terrible. There was a ... There's some really good donut place that's in downtown LA. So we were like, "Let's go get some donuts. Let's get crazy."

   10. DPDeric Poston1:53

       Yeah.

   11. JRJoe Rogan1:53

       "Let's just go find ..." So, uh, we would up going to the one in Pasadena, 'cause there's a ... Or Glendale? There's one, there's one somewhere else. There's one somewhere else that's also like that. And, uh, we wound up with ... Silverlake? Might be Silv- It was a lot of hippies.

   12. DPDeric Poston2:06

       (laughs)

   13. JRJoe Rogan2:06

       Probably Silv- It was like the, uh, total opposite. I'm, "I'll take hippies all day."

   14. DPDeric Poston2:11

       (laughs)

   15. JRJoe Rogan2:11

       I'll take, like, you know, woke people with fucking green hair all day that are homeless.

   16. DPDeric Poston2:15

       All day over I Am Legend? (laughs)

   17. JRJoe Rogan2:17

       Bro, full on I Am Legend.

   18. DPDeric Poston2:18

       I Am Legend?

   19. JRJoe Rogan2:19

       Full on I Am Legend, yeah. Yeah.

   20. DPDeric Poston2:22

       To go down there and get a donut though is ... It's worth it. LA donuts are the best. It's not even fucking close.

   21. JRJoe Rogan2:26

       Really?

   22. DPDeric Poston2:26

       I think so. Kind of like a New York bagel. There's something about certain breads, I feel like, in certain places that hit different.

   23. JRJoe Rogan2:32

       Bro, when Krispy Kreme's coming outta the do- right outta the oven, it is hard to fuck with anything else.

   24. DPDeric Poston2:36

       Nothing.

   25. JRJoe Rogan2:37

       L- Those glazed ones, the maple glazed, when they're coming right out.

   26. DPDeric Poston2:41

       Maple.

   27. JRJoe Rogan2:41

       Oh ...

   28. DPDeric Poston2:42

       Oh, Joe.

   29. JRJoe Rogan2:43

       So good, so good.

3. 2:46 – 4:28

   Carnivore aftermath: bread cravings, donuts as 'diabetes,' and chip loyalty wars

   1. DPDeric Poston2:46

      You fucked me up though. I haven't had bread, Joe ... I haven't really had bread, probably maybe twice since we did the carnivore.

   2. JRJoe Rogan2:51

      Good.

   3. DPDeric Poston2:51

      Maybe twice.

   4. JRJoe Rogan2:52

      Good.

   5. DPDeric Poston2:53

      You fucked it up.

   6. JRJoe Rogan2:53

      Every now and then it's okay. Every now and then it's okay. The real problem is when it becomes a part of your diet, when it's a normal part of your diet. When I eat a piece of pizza my body's like, "Yo, what are you doing? Like, relax. We're having a drink. Have a pizza, come on." And then I, I don't eat for a while.

   7. DPDeric Poston3:09

      Yeah.

   8. JRJoe Rogan3:10

      Let it clear out of my system. Then I go back to eating clean. But if you have that as a normal part of your life, it's just like all these things compound, right?

   9. DPDeric Poston3:18

      Yeah.

   10. JRJoe Rogan3:18

       You know, you smoke too many blunts, that compounds. You, you know, eat too much bad food, that can ... Look at that, right out of the oven.

   11. DPDeric Poston3:28

       (gasps)

   12. JRJoe Rogan3:28

       Jamie, what are you doing?

   13. NANarrator3:30

       (laughs)

   14. JRJoe Rogan3:30

       Did you post this?

   15. NANarrator3:31

       Yeah, a long time ago.

   16. JRJoe Rogan3:31

       Oh my God.

   17. DPDeric Poston3:32

       Look at that.

   18. JRJoe Rogan3:33

       Look at that.

   19. NANarrator3:34

       Look at that. At the time of creation.

   20. JRJoe Rogan3:34

       That is just diabetes in food form.

   21. DPDeric Poston3:37

       (laughs)

   22. JRJoe Rogan3:38

       It just makes me want to feel sick. And, like, I'll take that temporary mouth pleasure for hours of feeling like dog shit.

   23. DPDeric Poston3:44

       Yeah. (laughs)

   24. JRJoe Rogan3:46

       (laughs)

   25. NANarrator3:46

       (laughs)

   26. DPDeric Poston3:47

       Yeah, Joe. Oh, it feels so good. Yeah, I ... The bread thing ... Joe, this was the first time in my life I hadn't had Hot Cheetos every day.

   27. JRJoe Rogan3:57

       (laughs) Would you prefer Hot Cheetos over Takis? 'Cause I know a lot of people are very-

   28. DPDeric Poston4:00

       Yeah, love Takis. I'm a, I'm a, uh ... That's the Black in me I think, 'cause I'm a Hot Cheeto. Mexicans love the Takis.

   29. JRJoe Rogan4:05

       Cheetos Takis.

   30. DPDeric Poston4:05

       They love the Takis.
4. 4:28 – 7:18

   Fritos as firestarter: Alaska trip stories and why junk food feels suspicious

   1. JRJoe Rogan4:28

      That's ridiculous. That's ridiculous. You shouldn't be eating that. You know Fritos, those little corn chips?

   2. DPDeric Poston4:33

      Yeah.

   3. JRJoe Rogan4:34

      We used those to start a fire in Alaska.

   4. DPDeric Poston4:37

      (laughs)

   5. JRJoe Rogan4:38

      When we were camping.

   6. DPDeric Poston4:40

      Wait, what?

   7. JRJoe Rogan4:41

      Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Um, one of the dudes that works for my friend Steve Rinella told us that they're very flammable. And I'm like, "Really?" And so we used that to start a fire. We were in, uh, Prince Edwards Island, which is, um ... Prince of Wales Island? Which one? Prince Edwards? Which one, which one's the one in Alaska? Prince Edwards.

   8. NANarrator5:01

      Prince Edwards Island.

   9. JRJoe Rogan5:01

      Prince of Wales, what is that? I don't even know if that's a real place. Prince Edwards, right?

   10. NANarrator5:05

       Prince Edward Island is a Canadian province.

   11. JRJoe Rogan5:07

       Oh. What's the one in Alaska?

   12. NANarrator5:10

       Might be right next to Alaska though. No, it's not. That's the, like, complete opposite side.

   13. JRJoe Rogan5:16

       What is the one that's in Alaska?

   14. NANarrator5:18

       What was the other one you said?

   15. JRJoe Rogan5:19

       It's not Prince Edwards Island?

   16. NANarrator5:20

       No, that one's near Maine.

   17. JRJoe Rogan5:22

       Really?

   18. NANarrator5:22

       That's what the map said.

   19. JRJoe Rogan5:23

       Fuck. I can't remember the island. Anyway, um, the island in Ala- well, s- g- Google, 'cause it's-

   20. NANarrator5:28

       Yeah.

   21. JRJoe Rogan5:28

       ... one of the most rainy places on Earth. B- Bryan Callen and I did a TV show from there, with, uh, with, with Meat Eater, but it rained for seven, eight days, whatever the fuck we were there for.

   22. DPDeric Poston5:39

       Damn.

   23. JRJoe Rogan5:39

       It rained every day.

   24. NANarrator5:40

       Prince of Wales Island.

   25. JRJoe Rogan5:41

       All day.

   26. NANarrator5:41

       What's a Prince of Wales?

   27. JRJoe Rogan5:42

       What's a ... Prince of Wales. Okay, it is Prince of Wales. It rained every day. And one day it didn't rain for, like, 10 hours, and we're like, "Dude, we're gonna start a fucking fire. We're gonna figure out how to start a fire." And so we got, like, sticks and shit, like, that's under everything else.

   28. DPDeric Poston5:57

       Uh-huh.

   29. JRJoe Rogan5:57

       So everything got rained on. Oh, is there video of it?

   30. NANarrator6:01

       Not you guys, but-
5. 7:18 – 9:03

   Gluttony vs. discipline: pizzas, burgers, and the 'wolf' that wants more

   1. DPDeric Poston7:18

      Yo, how the fuck are you not fat, dog?

   2. JRJoe Rogan7:20

      (laughs)

   3. DPDeric Poston7:20

      You got it in you. You're supposed to be fat as shit.

   4. JRJoe Rogan7:23

      It's just discipline. I get fat ... I've ... I'm pretty lean right now. Now, I'm under 200, for ... which is rare.

   5. DPDeric Poston7:29

      Wow.

   6. JRJoe Rogan7:29

      I'm like 197, which is nice. 'Cause ... But I've just been real clean on the diet the last few weeks. Last few weeks, I just, I started getting a little fat. I started feeling a little bit of this and I started paranoid. My gut starts sticking out. I would get it straight to the gut. 'Cause I have pretty thick abs too.

   7. DPDeric Poston7:45

      Yeah.

   8. JRJoe Rogan7:45

      So any fat that goes on top of this shit right here, it gets-

   9. DPDeric Poston7:48

      It's a barrel.

   10. JRJoe Rogan7:49

       Yeah, it gets gross. And it pokes out right here.

   11. DPDeric Poston7:52

       Yeah.

   12. JRJoe Rogan7:52

       And just starts looking gross. (laughs) I just see weakness.

   13. DPDeric Poston7:56

       (laughs)

   14. JRJoe Rogan7:56

       When I see myself in the mirror, I'm like, "You weak bitch. You weak bitch."

   15. DPDeric Poston8:01

       (laughs)

   16. JRJoe Rogan8:01

       "You can't, you can't stop eating spaghetti." I eat so much food, bro.

   17. DPDeric Poston8:05

       Yeah?

   18. JRJoe Rogan8:05

       I eat so much food. It's crazy how much I eat. I eat ... I'm a glutton, like a real glutton.

   19. DPDeric Poston8:11

       Man, I've seen you put it down, brother.

   20. JRJoe Rogan8:12

       Bro, I'll eat pi- ... I'll eat two pizzas.

   21. DPDeric Poston8:15

       (laughs)

   22. JRJoe Rogan8:15

       I'll eat two pizzas. I'll eat that whole pizza. If there's another one right there and it's warm ... Is it warm? I'll just go right in on that pizza. I'm not hungry. (laughs)

   23. DPDeric Poston8:22

       (laughs)

   24. JRJoe Rogan8:22

       I'm not hungry. It's just gluttony.

   25. DPDeric Poston8:25

       I've seen you take down so many Golden Tiger burgers, dog.

   26. JRJoe Rogan8:28

       Bro.

   27. DPDeric Poston8:28

       When you get going.

   28. JRJoe Rogan8:29

       Bro, that one time we went out, I ate four of them.

   29. DPDeric Poston8:32

       (laughs)

   30. JRJoe Rogan8:32

       I had four double cheeseburgers. (laughs) Gordon Ryan was freaking out. Gordon Ryan was with his ... Like, "How the fuck are you eating that?" I'm like, "Dude, when I get going-"
6. 9:03 – 12:34

   Green room culture and comedy craftsmanship: killer bits and Brian Simpson admiration

   1. JRJoe Rogan9:03

      Bro, who has, who has more fun than us? Who has more fun than us?

   2. DPDeric Poston9:06

      Nobody, bro. Oh, come on.

   3. JRJoe Rogan9:07

      Bro, we're in there dancing. We're dancing, like, all the time.

   4. DPDeric Poston9:10

      (sighs)

   5. JRJoe Rogan9:11

      No, no self-consciousness.

   6. DPDeric Poston9:12

      No.

   7. JRJoe Rogan9:12

      Everybody's just having a good time.

   8. DPDeric Poston9:14

      Oh, it's my favorite.

   9. JRJoe Rogan9:15

      God, it's the best place in the world.

   10. DPDeric Poston9:16

       Oh, the music's going.

   11. JRJoe Rogan9:17

       Yeah.

   12. DPDeric Poston9:18

       Oh, the tunes are going, and everybody's going up. It's just ... And you're coming-

   13. JRJoe Rogan9:21

       Yeah.

   14. DPDeric Poston9:21

       ... in from a set, and like ... And then you're coming and everybody's already dancing and, and shitting on, you know, Brian for saying something crazy.

   15. JRJoe Rogan9:26

       (laughs)

   16. DPDeric Poston9:27

       (laughs) And Tony's just roasting them. And you're dying and you're like, "This is the best night of my life, bro."

   17. JRJoe Rogan9:32

       I love when Brian comes offstage and he walks in the room and he goes, "Woo."

   18. DPDeric Poston9:36

       (laughs)

   19. JRJoe Rogan9:36

       'Cause you know we just laid it down.

   20. DPDeric Poston9:38

       Oh, my God.

   21. JRJoe Rogan9:38

       Woo. Bro, when he was doing that WAP bit, when he was ... when he really tightened up that bit, when it was just a ... That bit was just assassination.

   22. DPDeric Poston9:47

       Yeah.

   23. JRJoe Rogan9:48

       That was a bit ... That bit was one of those bits where I would go out there and just sit and watch it. I watched it like ... Shit, I watched that bit 50 times.

   24. DPDeric Poston9:54

       Yeah.

   25. JRJoe Rogan9:55

       I just wanted to see that bit.

   26. DPDeric Poston9:56

       It was-

   27. JRJoe Rogan9:56

       I w- I would ask him, "You gonna close with WAP? You gonna close with WAP?" And he goes ...

   28. DPDeric Poston9:59

       (laughs) He wouldn't even always close with it.

   29. JRJoe Rogan10:00

       And I wouldn't want ... He goes ... Ah, the bit's like 11 minutes long. I'm like, "Please."

   30. DPDeric Poston10:04

       (laughs)
7. 12:34 – 16:34

   Moving to Austin during lockdown: why it worked and how LA shifted

   1. DPDeric Poston12:34

      Yeah, bro. Also, we feel so like, we were here... The, the just... That we were here, we all came-

   2. JRJoe Rogan12:39

      Yeah.

   3. DPDeric Poston12:39

      ... before it opened. We were here to feel that.

   4. JRJoe Rogan12:42

      Bro, you were an early adopter.

   5. DPDeric Poston12:44

      (laughs) Yo, Joe. I came... I came out-

   6. JRJoe Rogan12:46

      Derek came out here when I wasn't even sure.

   7. DPDeric Poston12:48

      (laughs)

   8. JRJoe Rogan12:48

      I was like, "Damn, Derek just moved here?"

   9. DPDeric Poston12:49

      (laughs)

   10. JRJoe Rogan12:50

       Now, I... There was a lot... I felt like one thing though about this, it's like that's one of the reasons why I felt like I had to do this, 'cause I knew the, all you guys had come out. You guys were coming out here when we were at Vulcan during the lockdown.

   11. DPDeric Poston13:03

       Yep. Thank God for my wife, bro. That was her, her call, dawg. (laughs)

   12. JRJoe Rogan13:06

       Really? That's amazing.

   13. DPDeric Poston13:07

       That was my wife's call. She was look... She saw you guys there. It hadn't even crossed my mind yet. Joe... I was still in pandemic mind of like-

   14. JRJoe Rogan13:13

       Right.

   15. DPDeric Poston13:13

       ... "We're just here."

   16. JRJoe Rogan13:14

       Yeah.

   17. DPDeric Poston13:14

       "This is what it is."

   18. JRJoe Rogan13:14

       That's it.

   19. DPDeric Poston13:14

       And then she said it, she was like, "We're going to Austin, Texas." And I was like, "What?" She's like, "J-... They're up. Everybody's getting up." And I'm like, "Oh." And it right in my... I was like, "What the fuck am I doing?"

   20. JRJoe Rogan13:25

       Yeah.

   21. DPDeric Poston13:25

       "I'm going to Austin, Texas." And moved March 2021.

   22. JRJoe Rogan13:28

       It was crazy because so many people were mad at us. They were mad at us for doing shows. I was like, "Are you out of your fucking mind? Are you gonna just not do shows anymore? You're gonna not talk to people?" Like, what are we doing? Like, how long does this go on? How m... How long does this go on? And in LA, the answer was a year and a half.

   23. DPDeric Poston13:43

       Year and a half, Joe.

   24. JRJoe Rogan13:44

       Out here it was six weeks.

   25. DPDeric Poston13:45

       (laughs)

   26. JRJoe Rogan13:47

       (laughs) They started just shooting guns in the air. "Shut the fuck up." (laughs)

   27. DPDeric Poston13:52

       (laughs)

   28. JRJoe Rogan13:52

       Peop... I saw old people with no masks on out here early on.

   29. DPDeric Poston13:56

       Oh, you could feel it.

   30. JRJoe Rogan13:56

       They were like, "Shut the fuck up."
8. 16:34 – 26:49

   COVID, tribalism, and vaccine injury debates

   1. JRJoe Rogan16:34

      So when I came out here, it was like tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet. I went like, "Okay. What? Is the world gone mad or is just LA gone mad? Is it parts of the world gone mad?" It's like the scary thing about it was, it was an experiment, not for real. Like I, I don't think it was ex... I don't have like this conspiracy theory that they did it on purpose. I think it was a lab leak. I think they-

   2. DPDeric Poston16:53

      Really?

   3. JRJoe Rogan16:53

      Yeah, it was accidental. And I think they, they... There's a lot of funding involved in doing these fucking coronaviruses and there's also probably some, uh, it's probably biological weapon- weapons research too. They probably do 'cause they definitely do create viruses and they, they work on viruses for bioweapons. It's a real thing.

   4. DPDeric Poston17:16

      Yeah.

   5. JRJoe Rogan17:16

      Like, bioweapons is a real thing.

   6. DPDeric Poston17:18

      I believe that.

   7. JRJoe Rogan17:19

      So that sounds terrifying that someone would release a weapon on a city to kill everybody because you're th... But that's real.

   8. DPDeric Poston17:25

      Yeah.

   9. JRJoe Rogan17:26

      They really are. And they, and they... Also China and Russia, they're all do... I mean, they used gas in World War I.

   10. DPDeric Poston17:31

       (laughs)

   11. JRJoe Rogan17:31

       They just blew gas on people.

   12. DPDeric Poston17:32

       Brother, yeah.

   13. JRJoe Rogan17:33

       Yeah.

   14. DPDeric Poston17:33

       I don't watch V for Vendetta and think that's not possible, nigga. That's-

   15. JRJoe Rogan17:36

       Oh.

   16. DPDeric Poston17:36

       That looks real, very real. (laughs)

   17. JRJoe Rogan17:37

       Very real.

   18. DPDeric Poston17:38

       That they would do something like that.

   19. JRJoe Rogan17:39

       Hun... That could happen today again. It could happen again. But the, the point is it's like... I don't even remember my point. My point was like that these kind of... These things when they happen, they reveal how people react to them and people didn't react nearly as good as I'd hoped.

   20. DPDeric Poston17:57

       Yeah.

   21. JRJoe Rogan17:58

       They, they, they've, they've sectioned themselves off in these tribes.

   22. DPDeric Poston18:03

       Yeah.

   23. JRJoe Rogan18:04

       That was what was weird, man. Like-

   24. DPDeric Poston18:06

       That shit broke people, Joe.

   25. JRJoe Rogan18:08

       It broke people.

   26. DPDeric Poston18:09

       It broke people. People still wear a masks, Joe.

   27. JRJoe Rogan18:11

       Oh my God, yeah.

   28. DPDeric Poston18:12

       It changed like who people are... Like, they forgot what... That they used to not wear a mask, you can tell.

   29. JRJoe Rogan18:17

       Some comics from Moon Tower were walking down the street and Ari saw them. Ari saw this dude and he had a fucking giant mask on his face, one of them really fucking...

   30. DPDeric Poston18:27

       (laughs)
9. 26:49 – 30:49

   Comedy boomtown economics: why Austin sets are hotter and opportunities stack

   1. JRJoe Rogan26:49

      You guys are all back to normal life now, except suckier.

   2. DPDeric Poston26:52

      Yeah.

   3. JRJoe Rogan26:52

      Your guys are back in LA. You're back to normal life, but more dangerous, more crime, more sucky. Like-

   4. DPDeric Poston26:58

      Shows are nowhere near as hot. I've been ar- there's no... They are not as close to as hot as these shows in Austin, Texas.

   5. JRJoe Rogan27:04

      No.

   6. DPDeric Poston27:04

      Anywhere you go, Joe, you can... In a three-block span, I can get up six times.

   7. JRJoe Rogan27:08

      Yeah.

   8. DPDeric Poston27:09

      Sold out shows, all hot. Great lineups. Um, i- m- y- that i- that iron sharpens iron feeling-

   9. JRJoe Rogan27:15

      Oh, my God.

   10. DPDeric Poston27:15

       ... of watching, when I got to watch when I was at the store parking cars and-

   11. JRJoe Rogan27:18

       Yeah.

   12. DPDeric Poston27:18

       ... door guy-ing, and I got to see that.

   13. JRJoe Rogan27:20

       Yeah.

   14. DPDeric Poston27:20

       So that's how I know that, oh, this is happening here.

   15. JRJoe Rogan27:22

       Yeah. We set up a destination. It's a destination. For comics, it's like they're gonna go visit Disneyland. And everybody's welcome, so they come all the time.

   16. DPDeric Poston27:29

       Yep.

   17. JRJoe Rogan27:29

       And so, you know, like last week, we had Colin Quinn and Chris Distefano, and Shane's in there all the time, and Schultz when he comes by.

   18. DPDeric Poston27:37

       Yep.

   19. JRJoe Rogan27:37

       And Dave when he's in town, and it's like-

   20. DPDeric Poston27:39

       And then surprised with, like-

   21. JRJoe Rogan27:40

       Ugh.

   22. DPDeric Poston27:40

       ... Howie Mandel or some shit.

   23. JRJoe Rogan27:41

       Yeah.

   24. DPDeric Poston27:41

       You're like, "What the fuck?" Howie doing here?

   25. JRJoe Rogan27:43

       Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ron White's there all the time.

   26. DPDeric Poston27:45

       (sighs)

   27. JRJoe Rogan27:45

       It's amazing. It's amazing. We're lucky as shit, man. But it's almost like the universe wanted this to happen, 'cause all the things that had to be in place for this to, to, to happen-

   28. DPDeric Poston27:55

       Yeah.

   29. JRJoe Rogan27:55

       ... they're all just sorta, like, ev- you know how when you're driving and you just keep hitting green lights?

   30. DPDeric Poston27:59

       (laughs)
10. 30:49 – 40:01

    Tony Hinchcliffe as talent engine: Kill Tony, roasts, and ‘reckless’ comedy

    1. DPDeric Poston30:49

       Changed my... I mean, that- that helped me meet Schulz. I didn't- I didn't know Schulz in LA.

    2. JRJoe Rogan30:53

       Oh, that's right.

    3. DPDeric Poston30:53

       I got here, and then he was coming to San Antonio and Tony... He hit up Tony Hinchcliffe, thank God for Tony, and he hit up Tony and said, "Hey, I need a host for tonight."

    4. JRJoe Rogan31:00

       Ah.

    5. DPDeric Poston31:01

       And Tony said... And I'll never... It's awesome that Tony said this and he showed me this too. He said, "Schulz, I got the perfect guy for you. I think you guys will work well together."

    6. JRJoe Rogan31:07

       Mm.

    7. DPDeric Poston31:08

       He called it. He said, man... And Tony told me, he said, "I have a feeling you guys are gonna be friends."

    8. JRJoe Rogan31:11

       Yeah.

    9. DPDeric Poston31:11

       And now that's my brother. Like, you know, he came to the wedding. I went to his. Like, I love that guy.

    10. JRJoe Rogan31:16

        Tony is one of the unsung best guys for like promoting talent. You know, people don't think about Tony when they think about that, which is kind of crazy because that's what Kill Tony is.

    11. DPDeric Poston31:26

        Yes.

    12. JRJoe Rogan31:27

        He doesn't get the credit that he deserves for like starting careers. Like there's a lot of guys that they started their career with Tony.

    13. DPDeric Poston31:35

        Yep.

    14. JRJoe Rogan31:36

        And he's like really good at promoting people. Like he's like real generous about it.

    15. DPDeric Poston31:40

        Yeah.

    16. JRJoe Rogan31:40

        He's always talking about it.

    17. DPDeric Poston31:42

        On camera and off camera.

    18. JRJoe Rogan31:43

        Mm-hmm.

    19. DPDeric Poston31:43

        He'll do... That's what people don't see.

    20. JRJoe Rogan31:44

        Yeah.

    21. DPDeric Poston31:44

        They think, "Oh, he's doing it on Kill Tony." It's like, no, he's doing that off camera.

    22. JRJoe Rogan31:47

        No, no, no, no, no. He's doing that in the green room. He'll tell us about how someone killed in the green room, about the... Let someone open for him somewhere and they murdered and... Yeah, yeah, no.

    23. DPDeric Poston31:55

        He'll tell you and be like, "Oh, Joe, Joe, look at this door guy." Or, "Watch this door guy." Like I've seen him do it. You know, where it's like, "Man, this..."

    24. JRJoe Rogan31:59

        He does it all the time. Yeah, he... Tony loves comedy. He loves it. He fucking lives it. He breathes it. So having that guy in town too was huge. Like Tony moved real early on too.

    25. DPDeric Poston32:11

        Yeah.

    26. JRJoe Rogan32:11

        You know, but Tony and me, we're best friends.

    27. DPDeric Poston32:13

        Yeah.

    28. JRJoe Rogan32:14

        I mean, we- we've been on the road together like, I don't know, 150 fucking shows somewhere. Somewhere around that range. Probably more than that. Over the years, I mean, I've been doing shows with him for, fuck, at least 10 years. You know, I don't even know when we started doing shows together, but it had to be before 2014. I think I met him at the Icehouse.

    29. DPDeric Poston32:33

        (laughs)

    30. JRJoe Rogan32:33

        Like way back in the day. And so like I've seen that dude like really come together. I've seen that dude like really become like a killer comedian. You know, I watched him on The Roast last night or Saturday night. Goddamn, dude.
11. 40:01 – 47:47

    From the Comedy Store to the Mothership: mentorship, envy, and becoming undeniable

    1. DPDeric Poston40:01

       God, I, my, I thank God for my best friends, but Brian Simpson, every time he, he gets anything, and I mean anything in his career, and you know how big he is.

    2. JRJoe Rogan40:08

       Mm-hmm.

    3. DPDeric Poston40:08

       Every time, the first time he got on your, first time he got on Rogan, first time he got the Netflix thing, he looks right at me every time and goes, "You're next."

    4. JRJoe Rogan40:14

       Yeah.

    5. DPDeric Poston40:15

       "Derek, you're next." He doesn't e-... That's the f- ev- no matter what he gets, he goes, "Derek, you're next."

    6. JRJoe Rogan40:19

       Yeah.

    7. DPDeric Poston40:19

       And it's just, to hear that every time from your guy that you were like, "Man, I want to be like this guy. This guy's"-

    8. JRJoe Rogan40:24

       Yeah.

    9. DPDeric Poston40:24

       "... the best comic I know." Like-

    10. JRJoe Rogan40:25

        Yeah. Yeah, super supportive.

    11. DPDeric Poston40:26

        It means everything.

    12. JRJoe Rogan40:27

        It means everything. And it, that's the, that's the i- when you have that kind of, uh, environment, it feels good for everybody. This is why it's important. The selfish feeling that you want no, you want no one to do better than you and you want to be like number one and then if you see people doing better than you, you get angry, that selfish feeling is s- it, it, it ruins you 'cause it ruins your relationships with other people. You could have the exact same circumstances happen and be super happy for everybody.

    13. DPDeric Poston40:55

        Yeah.

    14. JRJoe Rogan40:56

        For you and for y- there's no tension. There's no need to it. There's no need for it. And if someone makes you feel bad, like if you watch someone and like they're so good they make you feel bad, go to work. Go to work.

    15. DPDeric Poston41:05

        It's a good feeling.

    16. JRJoe Rogan41:06

        Yeah.

    17. DPDeric Poston41:06

        That's a good, that's good.

    18. JRJoe Rogan41:07

        When Attell was in town, I would watch an Attell, be like, "I wanna go home and write. I wanna go home and write." Like this, this fucking guy is like, he's like a zen master up there. He's like effortlessly killing-

    19. DPDeric Poston41:17

        Yes.

    20. JRJoe Rogan41:17

        ... in a way that's like so... and so ridiculous and so unique. I was like, "God, this is so good." But if you're a hater-

    21. DPDeric Poston41:24

        (laughs)

    22. JRJoe Rogan41:24

        ... that's poison. You're watching-

    23. DPDeric Poston41:26

        (laughs)

    24. JRJoe Rogan41:26

        ... you're getting the exact opposite feeling from the same exact scene, the same scene. You're wa- there's guys that will... I've seen guys sitting in the back room, they were watching Chris Rock and they were watching Chris Rock with their arms crossed like this, like wanting him to suck. Wanting him to suck, not wanting him to do well. Not, not just enjoying it.

    25. DPDeric Poston41:46

        Enjoy him. This is, this, it's almost comedy.

    26. JRJoe Rogan41:49

        Why are you doing this shit?

    27. DPDeric Poston41:49

        Yes.

    28. JRJoe Rogan41:49

        Aren't you ok- d- d- aren't you a fan of this?

    29. DPDeric Poston41:52

        (laughs)

    30. JRJoe Rogan41:52

        What, it only has to be you? You're the only one that can be funny? That's crazy. That's crazy. You can't have a good time? So you're missing out on having a good time just so you can be selfish. There's a zero upside.
12. 47:47 – 1:00:04

    Building the club right: location history, meritocracy, and the staff pipeline

    1. JRJoe Rogan47:47

       So when everybody was out here early, you know, I, I had gone through this thing where I had the first club and the, the, the, the deal fell apart, the Cult House.

    2. DPDeric Poston47:57

       The Cult House.

    3. JRJoe Rogan47:57

       Yeah. Goddamn, I'm glad we didn't get that one. That would have ruined everything.

    4. DPDeric Poston48:01

       Yeah, that would not have been as...

    5. JRJoe Rogan48:03

       No.

    6. DPDeric Poston48:03

       'Cause the placement of this one.

    7. JRJoe Rogan48:05

       It's perfect. The fact that it's on that maniac street.

    8. DPDeric Poston48:08

       Yeah.

    9. JRJoe Rogan48:09

       Yeah, that street's alive, dude.

    10. DPDeric Poston48:10

        Yeah.

    11. JRJoe Rogan48:11

        That street's alive.

    12. DPDeric Poston48:11

        When you... Right, I like that, 'cause as an audience member, when you get there-

    13. JRJoe Rogan48:14

        Mm-hmm.

    14. DPDeric Poston48:14

        ... you're like-

    15. JRJoe Rogan48:15

        Yeah.

    16. DPDeric Poston48:15

        ... you're now awake. You don't get to wander in. Like it's not in a mall or some shit. It's like, "No, you're awake now."

    17. JRJoe Rogan48:20

        But when the deal fell through with the Cult place and then we walked into that movie theater, when it was a movie theater still-

    18. DPDeric Poston48:25

        Mm-hmm.

    19. JRJoe Rogan48:25

        ... I remember walking in there going, "Oh, shit." Like, "Okay, so this is it." It was so clear. It was like you hear a sound in the distance of the direction you're supposed to go to. You hear boom. Like, "Okay, here we go." That's how it felt. It really felt like that. It felt like, "Goddamn, man, this place is alive." This place has like... It's got memories baked into it.

    20. DPDeric Poston48:49

        Yes. Stevie Ray Vaughan.

    21. JRJoe Rogan48:51

        Stevie Ray Vaughan. Steve Ray Vaughan was on that stage. Willie Nelson was on that stage.

    22. DPDeric Poston48:54

        S- Willie Nelson was on that stage?

    23. JRJoe Rogan48:55

        Yeah, man. All those dudes in the green room, all those posters are in the green room.

    24. DPDeric Poston48:58

        Yeah.

    25. JRJoe Rogan48:59

        Those are all real shows from the Ritz.... yeah.

    26. DPDeric Poston49:02

        I did not know that.

    27. JRJoe Rogan49:03

        Yeah, man. A lot, a lot of bands played there, a lot of bands. Yeah.

    28. DPDeric Poston49:08

        So you could feel it in the walls.

    29. JRJoe Rogan49:09

        There's a lot of things happen in that place. It used to be a pool hall, it used to be a nudie movie theater at one point in time.

    30. DPDeric Poston49:15

        Oh, there's jizz in there, bro.
13. 1:00:04 – 1:28:00

    Tech/privacy detour: iPhone vs Android, TikTok data, and why blue bubbles win

    1. JRJoe Rogan1:00:04

       Bro, you know why I've been thinking about going to Android? 'Cause Samsung phones, when you, um... if you record your sets-

    2. DPDeric Poston1:00:11

       Yeah.

    3. JRJoe Rogan1:00:11

       ... it transcribes them.

    4. DPDeric Poston1:00:13

       Really?

    5. JRJoe Rogan1:00:14

       Yeah, with AI. And it'll summarize it for you. Crazy.

    6. DPDeric Poston1:00:19

       (laughs) That's fucking-

    7. JRJoe Rogan1:00:19

       Yeah, Brian Simpson's right about that too.

    8. DPDeric Poston1:00:21

       (laughs)

    9. JRJoe Rogan1:00:22

       He's got that fucking Galaxy phone.

    10. DPDeric Poston1:00:23

        He does.

    11. JRJoe Rogan1:00:23

        Tony's always making fun of him, and I'm like, "Tony, do you understand what that phone can do?" That phone can translate... Like, built into the phone, can translate you talking to, uh, a ton of different languages. Like instantaneously translate.

    12. DPDeric Poston1:00:36

        Why are we still on iPhones?

    13. JRJoe Rogan1:00:37

        Because we're trapped.

    14. DPDeric Poston1:00:39

        (laughs)

    15. JRJoe Rogan1:00:39

        Also, it's a safer operating system. That's the thing that I've been really getting into. I've been really, like, researching, like, exploits, and, um, I watched, uh, I- I've watched quite a few videos. But I also, uh, read a story where they were talking about when they were trying to see... They had an iPhone and an Android phone, and they checked to see which one was contacting foreign servers based on the apps.... and it was, like, way more the Android. (slaps table) The Android was contacting foreign servers way more, contacting China and Russia, and the iPhone one was, like, one or two a day. And it's based on ... There's a lot of shit going on that we're not thinking about, right? Y- what you're, what you're interested in is valuable, so if you're scrolling through Google and you're looking at a bunch of different products, you're looking at a bunch of different things, Google gets that information and it inserts those ads into your browser. So that when you go to a website and you say, like, "Oh, I was looking at those shoes."

    16. DPDeric Poston1:01:38

        Yeah.

    17. JRJoe Rogan1:01:38

        "How are those shoes for sale right here?" It's just click here, you know? It tells you the price.

    18. DPDeric Poston1:01:42

        Yeah.

    19. JRJoe Rogan1:01:42

        Like, "Ooh, what a bargain," and you think about it. That's valuable, right? And so that's what they're constantly trying to scoop up. They're trying to scoop up your data. They wanna know what you're doing, what you're listening to, what you're watching. What do you, what do you w-... Well, you got Netflix? What do you... You got this, you got that? Do you got YouTube Premium? What do you got? Do you got money?

    20. DPDeric Poston1:01:59

        (inhales deeply)

    21. JRJoe Rogan1:01:59

        Are you broke? You got a Tesla? Ooh, he's got a Tesla. He got a Tesla app. There's... So there's all this data that your phone carries, and iPhone is pretty good at keeping that data inside your phone.

        They're like a closed system, right? Isn't that what they call themselves?

    23. JRJoe Rogan1:02:12

        Yeah, walled garden. Yeah. Android's not so good at that. Android is the opposite, it seems like. It's, it's got open source, which is really good, so a bunch of different people can make apps. But the problem with that is you could get apps that are malware. You can get apps that will get... That will infect... You're a wild motherfucker just downloading every app that's on the Play Store. I don't think they do as good a job. And I think you can... Can't you side load on Androids as well?

    24. NANarrator1:02:41

        Probably. (clears throat)

    25. JRJoe Rogan1:02:43

        So there's pros and cons, man. There's pros to, like... If you make an Android app, like, you could just say, "You know, why isn't there a fucking app for this?"

    26. DPDeric Poston1:02:50

        Yeah.

    27. JRJoe Rogan1:02:50

        And you could design an app that does it, and then just throw it up on the Play Store, and people could just download it and put it... But you could be a criminal-

    28. DPDeric Poston1:02:57

        (laughs)

    29. JRJoe Rogan1:02:57

        ... and you could put some shit on, on, you know, either side loading or put some shit on, you know, one of these places where you can download apps. And inside that is... Someone could just steal all your credit card information on your phone if you're using, like, you know, Google Pay or what the fuck you use.

    30. DPDeric Poston1:03:12

        Some Goo-... Random Google thing, yeah.
