      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. 15:00 – 30:00

   Yeah. …

   1. JRJoe Rogan15:00

      from them after they would go shopping at the mall in Beverly Hills.

   2. DPDeric Poston15:02

      Yeah.

   3. JRJoe Rogan15:03

      Like nice places in Beverly Hills, nice stores.

   4. DPDeric Poston15:05

      Yeah. West Hollywood people were getting robbed, bro. It was crazy.

   5. JRJoe Rogan15:07

      Bro.

   6. DPDeric Poston15:08

      I was there. I saw it. There's people getting robbed.

   7. JRJoe Rogan15:10

      I saw it. There was a car full of dudes that was parked in front of this gated community and they had no license plate on their car and I was driving in and I remember looking at these dudes and them looking at me. I'm like, "These are not dudes that are up to anything good."

   8. DPDeric Poston15:24

      Yeah.

   9. JRJoe Rogan15:25

      And they have a car with no license plate on and they're outside of this gated community, and they could've been just waiting for the, the thing to go up so they could sneak in behind it, you know?

   10. DPDeric Poston15:35

       Yeah.

   11. JRJoe Rogan15:35

       I don't know what they were doing, but I remember thinking like, "This is going to escalate. You're gonna get more of this." Then I saw a bu... I saw a w... I was passing by this clothing store and I saw these dudes smash the window and run inside. Crazy. In Woodland Hills. In Woodland Hills, it's like the sleepiest, most boring-ass fucking neighborhood.

   12. DPDeric Poston15:55

       That's the... Yeah, that's like where the, the rich... It, it's supposed-

   13. JRJoe Rogan15:57

       Yeah.

   14. DPDeric Poston15:57

       ... to be the nicest.

   15. JRJoe Rogan15:57

       Dr. Dre has a house out there.

   16. DPDeric Poston15:59

       (laughs)

   17. JRJoe Rogan15:59

       Yeah.

   18. DPDeric Poston16:01

       (laughs)

   19. JRJoe Rogan16:03

       It's where Whitney lives.

   20. DPDeric Poston16:04

       (laughs)

   21. JRJoe Rogan16:04

       You know? It's like... Yeah, that's where Schaub lives. It's like that area is nice and they were smashing windows. They lit a dumpster on fire and pushed it in front of the, the front door at Target.

   22. DPDeric Poston16:16

       Yeah.

   23. JRJoe Rogan16:16

       My friend was in there. My friend was in there. They, they yelled out through the, the loudspeaker. They were telling everybody, "Put down everything you have. Just don't, don't go to the cash register. Get out, get out now." And they get outside and someone had lit a fucking dumpster on fire and pushed it up against the door.

   24. DPDeric Poston16:31

       Yeah. Fuck that.

   25. JRJoe Rogan16:32

       Bro.

   26. DPDeric Poston16:33

       I'm so glad we got out of there, Joe.

   27. 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-

   28. DPDeric Poston16:53

       Really?

   29. 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.

   30. DPDeric Poston17:16

       Yeah.
3. 30:00 – 45:00

   Yeah. I mean, I…

   1. DPDeric Poston30:00

   2. JRJoe Rogan30:00

      Yeah. I mean, I talked to him when he was out here, and he's like, "Fuck." I go, "Just move here."

   3. DPDeric Poston30:04

      Oh, they all say that, right when they come. (laughs)

   4. JRJoe Rogan30:05

      It's easy.

   5. DPDeric Poston30:06

      Right when they come.

   6. JRJoe Rogan30:06

      Ugh.

   7. DPDeric Poston30:07

      They all are like, "Oh, man. Oh." You could see it on him.

   8. JRJoe Rogan30:09

      Yeah. He left the club with t- two beautiful ladies. I was like, "Where you going, Bobby?" He's like, "I'll be back."

   9. DPDeric Poston30:14

      (laughs)

   10. JRJoe Rogan30:15

       "I'm famous here."

   11. DPDeric Poston30:17

       (laughs)

   12. JRJoe Rogan30:18

       (laughs)

   13. NANarrator30:19

       (laughs)

   14. DPDeric Poston30:21

       (inhales deeply) (laughs) No, he's- yeah, everybody-

   15. JRJoe Rogan30:24

       Everybody loves him.

   16. DPDeric Poston30:24

       Oh, I- I do remember he said that, though.

   17. JRJoe Rogan30:26

       Yeah, they were scared. They actually-

   18. DPDeric Poston30:27

       "Joe, you made a big mistake." I was like, "Bro, you made... You had collab... We all make mistakes."

   19. NANarrator30:30

       (laughs)

   20. DPDeric Poston30:30

       "Get the fuck out my face, dog."

   21. NANarrator30:32

       (laughs)

   22. DPDeric Poston30:33

       Get the fuck out.

   23. JRJoe Rogan30:33

       Shut the fuck up advice boy. (laughs)

   24. DPDeric Poston30:35

       Yo, like what are you talking about right now, man? (laughs)

   25. JRJoe Rogan30:37

       Who the fuck are you talking to? Who the fuck is that guy?

   26. DPDeric Poston30:40

       Who the fuck? Joe...

   27. JRJoe Rogan30:42

       (laughs)

   28. DPDeric Poston30:42

       Like, oh man, 'cause... I just... I'm so glad I did, man. Just... So glad I did, brother.

   29. JRJoe Rogan30:48

       Yeah, man. I'm glad you did too.

   30. DPDeric Poston30:49

       Changed my... I mean, that- that helped me meet Schulz. I didn't- I didn't know Schulz in LA.
4. 45:00 – 1:00:00

   Man, I, I really…

   1. JRJoe Rogan45:00

      make you listen to tapes. They make you go over your... You go, go through your notebook, you know.

   2. DPDeric Poston45:05

      Man, I, I really appreciate those Comedy Store times. I mean, I think everyone should be... Not a door guy, but man, it just... It's good. I think it's just good for you to just sit and learn. You have no choice. You're there.

   3. JRJoe Rogan45:15

      And what was dope about The Comedy Store too was the fact that, uh, there was a real attitude that everyone was a comic, including the door people.

   4. DPDeric Poston45:23

      Yes.

   5. JRJoe Rogan45:24

      The door people to me were me when I was 23. I was like, "What's up? What's going on, man?"

   6. DPDeric Poston45:28

      Yeah.

   7. JRJoe Rogan45:28

      "Everything cool?" Yeah.

   8. DPDeric Poston45:29

      Met you. Big hug.

   9. JRJoe Rogan45:30

      Yeah.

   10. DPDeric Poston45:30

       First thing you said. "Yo, what's up, new guy?"

   11. JRJoe Rogan45:32

       Always. (laughs)

   12. DPDeric Poston45:32

       (laughs) Like, over here. I remember.

   13. JRJoe Rogan45:34

       Yeah. (laughs)

   14. DPDeric Poston45:34

       (laughs) I remember like it was yesterday, dude. All you guys. Oh, man.

   15. JRJoe Rogan45:37

       Yeah.

   16. DPDeric Poston45:38

       It... Uh, the coolest thing that I, I... One of the coolest things about standup that I learned from you, Joe, it was... So when I got there, you were finishing Triggered. Like you were, you, you were... That was about to come out.

   17. JRJoe Rogan45:46

       Mm-hmm.

   18. DPDeric Poston45:46

       So you were doing the... On the stool bit, the Caitlyn Jenner.

   19. JRJoe Rogan45:49

       Mm-hmm.

   20. DPDeric Poston45:49

       I mean-

   21. JRJoe Rogan45:49

       Yeah.

   22. DPDeric Poston45:49

       ... it was so tight. You were going cr- Standing O's every time you did it. It was nuts. Then The Special came out, and then you start gearing up for Strange Times. And the only person I've ever heard they say would do this was Richard Pryor, where he would come in after he dropped The Special and he would bang out material and you'd see it. For the first time, you're like, "Okay, I kinda see the skeleton." I saw the skeleton of Strange Times.

   23. JRJoe Rogan46:08

       Mm-hmm.

   24. DPDeric Poston46:08

       I'm like, "All right, I guess." And then the next day, you'd see the... A little bit of muscle on it. And then the next... You didn't... You never abandoned it. Even though it wasn't hitting like how the other stuff was hitting, or some nights it wasn't going as well as maybe you wanted it to, you never abandoned it. You never were like, "Oh, I'm gonna do crowd work. Oh, I'm gonna say an old bit and get out of this." No. And then ev- and then I saw Strange Times become Strange Times, and that was amazing to see, Joe.

   25. JRJoe Rogan46:30

       It takes a long time to get a bit going, and if you bail on it when you fir... Every one of my bits, except for a few, sucked in the beginning. There's just... They're clunky.

   26. DPDeric Poston46:40

       Yes.

   27. JRJoe Rogan46:41

       You don't know how to do it right.

   28. DPDeric Poston46:42

       You can see you were trying to find it, y- you know?

   29. JRJoe Rogan46:44

       Oh, it's a terrible process. It's a terrible, it's a terrible process. It really is. It's a terrible process. Brian Simpson did it the smartest way. What Brian did was he had his whole hour laid out, and then before he filmed his hour, he created a new hour. So he started adding material to the set over the course of a year till he had another hour. And so then he films the special and he's got an extra hour. (laughs)

   30. DPDeric Poston47:09

       (laughs)
5. 1:00:00 – 1:05:31

   The moment you do…

   1. JRJoe Rogan1:00:00

      net.

   2. DPDeric Poston1:00:00

      The moment you do the thing where you're like, "Oh," you think of something and are like, "I'm gonna write it down later."

   3. JRJoe Rogan1:00:03

      Yeah.

   4. DPDeric Poston1:00:04

      It's gone.

   5. 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-

   6. DPDeric Poston1:00:11

      Yeah.

   7. JRJoe Rogan1:00:11

      ... it transcribes them.

   8. DPDeric Poston1:00:13

      Really?

   9. JRJoe Rogan1:00:14

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

   10. DPDeric Poston1:00:19

       (laughs) That's fucking-

   11. JRJoe Rogan1:00:19

       Yeah, Brian Simpson's right about that too.

   12. DPDeric Poston1:00:21

       (laughs)

   13. JRJoe Rogan1:00:22

       He's got that fucking Galaxy phone.

   14. DPDeric Poston1:00:23

       He does.

   15. 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.

   16. DPDeric Poston1:00:36

       Why are we still on iPhones?

   17. JRJoe Rogan1:00:37

       Because we're trapped.

   18. DPDeric Poston1:00:39

       (laughs)

   19. 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."

   20. DPDeric Poston1:01:38

       Yeah.

   21. JRJoe Rogan1:01:38

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

   22. DPDeric Poston1:01:42

       Yeah.

   23. 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?

   24. DPDeric Poston1:01:59

       (inhales deeply)

   25. 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.

   26. DPDeric Poston1:02:09

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

   27. 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?

   28. NANarrator1:02:41

       Probably. (clears throat)

   29. 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?"

   30. DPDeric Poston1:02:50

       Yeah.
