    (drumbeats) Joe Rogan podcast,…

    1. JR

      (drumbeats) Joe Rogan podcast, check it out.

    2. NA

      The Joe Rogan Experience.

    3. Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night. All day. (rock music plays) And we're out.

    4. BR

      Wazzup?

    5. JR

      Hey, fella.

    6. BR

      Hey, buddy.

    7. JR

      What's crackalackin'?

    8. BR

      Nothin'.

    9. JR

      Have you been fucking around with the ChatGPT? I saw you brought it.

    10. BR

      Yeah. I got the, uh, I just got the 4.0, the one that they've been showing where you could talk-

    11. JR

      Yeah.

    12. BR

      ... to it naturally and stuff.

    13. JR

      Duncan had it in the green room. We were talking shit to it.

    14. BR

      Yeah.

    15. JR

      About it replacing us.

    16. BR

      Yeah. It, it's pretty c- crazy, you know?

    17. JR

      Yeah.

    18. BR

      Like, like, it, it's weird how AI came out of nowhere and then we're like, "We're ... how long has this been, you know, being worked on?"

    19. JR

      Yeah.

    20. BR

      And then now it's, like, everywhere. Like, my, my, uh, uh, vacuum cleaner has AI now. It's crazy.

    21. JR

      What does it do?

    22. BR

      It, uh, it's one of those robot vacs where it scans your whole house and then, like, it de- detects things using AI. Like, "Oh, that's shit. Don't run over it," or ...

    23. JR

      (laughs)

    24. BR

      (laughs)

    25. JR

      So like if your dog shits on the floor-

    26. BR

      Yeah.

    27. JR

      ... it recognizes dog shit?

    28. BR

      Yeah. And it, and it doesn't do a good job 'cause it, the first thing it did it went right over to this dog shit and just started smearing dog shit through the whole entire kitchen.

    29. JR

      (laughs) Why's your dog shitting in the kitchen?

    30. BR

      'Cause once in a while, you know, dogs, Shih Tzus don't care. They're like, "I, I have to shit. I don't wanna bother anyone."

  2. 15:0030:00

    Right. …

    1. JR

      as good a comic-

    2. BR

      Right.

    3. JR

      ... as them. But, like, what, the way Chris Rock does it, Chris, um, I n- I haven't talked to him personally. I've, I've heard him talk about it and I've talked to people who work with him. So one of the things he gets accused of unfairly, people say that he has writers who write for him. Chris Rock writes his own material. What he has is the writers, he bounces the ide- ideas off them, so they come and watch him do the set, and then they say, "Maybe when you do this, say that first," or, "Maybe expand on this," or, "I got a tag for that." And so... But those guys who are doing that aren't as good a comic as him, so sometimes you just need other ideas, right?

    4. BR

      Yeah, it's like the green room. That's why, you know, green room-

    5. JR

      Right.

    6. BR

      That's what you... "Man, that joke, you should've had this," or, you know...

    7. JR

      Mm-hmm. That happens so... The green room is amazing for that.

    8. BR

      Yeah, yeah.

    9. JR

      There's so many times in the green room that we're all trying to work out a bit, and then, like, Tony will chime in or Brian will chime in. They're like, "Oh, that's it." And then you figure it out. I mean, we rewrote David Lucas' entire fucking act-

    10. BR

      (laughs)

    11. NA

      (laughs)

    12. JR

      ... in that green room. (laughs)

    13. BR

      (laughs)

    14. NA

      (laughs)

    15. JR

      But it's... That's one thing. So, like, if, if ChatGBT just gave you, like, ideas.

    16. BR

      Yeah.

    17. JR

      Just, I just need, like, a framework sometimes. I, I feel like each subject is just a scaffolding, so I get the scaffolding. Now once I have the scaffolding, I have to build a house. And so... But I have to have a fucking location where I can start building. So it ha-... The location is the subject, whatever the idea is, and then I start building. That's how I do it.

    18. BR

      Mm-hmm.

    19. JR

      But I mean, everybody does it different, man. I mean, everybody does it d-... Some people have to write it down on paper. Like, some people, all their stuff, like Colin Quinn's shit's all on paper. A lot of people, they, it's just, they write it down. Like, Christina P, she has this notebook she brings with her, and you look at the note, it's filled with ideas. It's just all wr... She goes, "I have to write it down on paper."

    20. BR

      Marc Normand, like his back pocket-

    21. JR

      Oh.

    22. BR

      ... is like a turtle, you know, of how many-

    23. NA

      Insane.

    24. BR

      (laughs)

    25. NA

      He's the most insane. He's the most insane.

    26. JR

      Yeah.

    27. NA

      'Cause he has a phone.

    28. BR

      He's hilarious.

    29. JR

      He has a phone. He knows his notes-

    30. NA

      (laughs)

  3. 30:0045:00

    (laughs) …

    1. JR

      so genuinely happy and fun.

    2. BR

      (laughs)

    3. JR

      Pe- people don't understand him or they don't know who he is or they just wanna demonize him as this evil right-wing person. He's a sweetheart of a guy. A- and I'm, I'm saying that as someone who's spent hours with him. He's a very nice guy. He's nice to everybody. He's just, he's nice. He's just, he's odd. He's odd. He's an odd guy.

    4. BR

      (laughs) Funny laugh.

    5. JR

      And he was also working in the belly of the beast for like, how many years? He was on CNN and then he goes to, CNN F- to Fox. And now he's a wild boy. Like, now he's online. He's just wild. I- you know, having, interviewing that guy who says he sucked Obama's dick, like that-

    6. BR

      (laughs) Yeah.

    7. JR

      What are you doing? (laughs)

    8. BR

      (laughs)

    9. JR

      I forgot to ask him about that.

    10. BR

      Remember when William just ... Or was it William or Cam just brought that up?

    11. JR

      Yeah, William brought up, "Did that guy really suck Obama's dick?" (laughs)

    12. BR

      (laughs)

    13. JR

      What a nightmare. What a nightmare.

    14. BR

      (laughs)

    15. JR

      Tucker.

    16. BR

      Uh...

    17. JR

      Uh, this... Uh... (laughs)

    18. BR

      William's so fucking funny, and his brother now works at the mothership, and it's like the coolest thing ever. (laughs)

    19. JR

      Yeah, it's amazing. He, William is so funny and he's so confident now. And look, I mean when we first met that guy, he was awkward but kind of funny, but he had to have those goddamn notes.

    20. BR

      Mm-hmm.

    21. JR

      And how many times did we have conversations with him in the green room?

    22. BR

      Oh, like millions.

    23. JR

      Millions. Like, "Dude, you gotta ditch those notes." Because when he would do Kill Tony, when he would engage with the audience, I go, "When you stare at the audience and start talking to them," I go, it makes me nervous, like as a f- a friend of yours-

    24. BR

      (laughs)

    25. JR

      ... you're so wild. But like, I'm in the audience, like, "This guy's crazy." That's better than staring at your notes, man.

    26. BR

      Right.

    27. JR

      Engage them, look at them. You can remember your jokes. And he just had to, like, be convinced that he can re- Now he's doing an hour on stage with no notes, no... And killing, headlining, selling out everywhere. Dude, the Black Keys specifically wanted to see him when he was in town.

    28. BR

      Of course.

    29. JR

      So I had William come up and do the show. I called him, I go like, "Dude, (laughs) the Black Keys wanna beat you."

    30. BR

      Those guys are, by the way, are the coolest guys I've ever met. (laughs)

  4. 45:001:00:00

    Mm-hmm. And Matt McCusker,…

    1. JR

    2. BR

      Mm-hmm. And Matt McCusker, you know? He is.

    3. JR

      Oh, very smart, McCusker.

    4. BR

      Yeah, both of those guys.

    5. JR

      Cool as shit too.

    6. BR

      Yeah, I love those guys.

    7. JR

      So nice that they're here.

    8. BR

      It's so cool.

    9. JR

      Oh.

    10. BR

      That's such a nice bonus. (laughs)

    11. JR

      The whole Philly crew.

    12. BR

      Yeah. (laughs)

    13. JR

      Those guys are great. Tommy, those guys are great.

    14. BR

      Yeah.

    15. JR

      Yeah. Lamer is here now.

    16. BR

      Yep. Joey D- Diaz has been hanging out lately.

    17. JR

      Mm-hmm.

    18. BR

      Which is so great to see Joey. Oh my God, it's been-

    19. JR

      Joey's getting a real estate agent.

    20. BR

      Y- yeah. (laughs) That's fucking awesome.

    21. JR

      Yeah, yeah.

    22. BR

      (laughs)

    23. JR

      He's gonna get a spot on here. It's, you know, once he got here, he's like, "This is what I've been missing, dog. This is what I've been missing." And this is what I told you, Joey. I know you don't want to totally listen to me. He doesn't want to listen.

    24. BR

      Right.

    25. JR

      You know, I tell him, "Joey, you really shouldn't be out there by yourself in New Jersey."

    26. BR

      Yeah. You're in Jersey, man. (laughs)

    27. JR

      Yeah. (laughs) Just-

    28. BR

      That's why you got outta there in the first place. (laughs)

    29. JR

      It's, Jersey's not bad.

    30. BR

      Right.

  5. 1:00:001:11:32

    Find microplastics. …

    1. JR

      way? And you make it-

    2. BR

      Find microplastics.

    3. JR

      ... really convenient to use the plastic.

    4. BR

      Yeah.

    5. JR

      Plastic's everywhere. You make it convenient. And so this dumb animal keeps using the plastic over and over and over again, and as it keeps using the plastic, then its species becomes less and less viable.

    6. BR

      What if the dogs were AI, and they're the ones doing it? (laughs)

    7. JR

      I don't think so.

    8. JV

      Like, at what temperature does this happens at? You know, I'm just starting to think like we-

    9. JR

      140 degrees.

    10. JV

      Don't bring plastic water bottles into the sauna-

    11. BR

      Oh, yeah, definitely.

    12. JV

      ... 'cause you're just like, you're creating more of it.

    13. BR

      Yeah.

    14. JR

      Oh, yeah, definitely, if you're doing it in a sauna. "Especially at temperatures higher than above 140." Yeah, "Bottled water companies follow sa- safety, (laughs) safety standards to minimize risk." Sure they do.

    15. JV

      Yeah, I would say.

    16. JR

      Sure they do. What are your safety standards, bitch?

    17. JV

      Bitch, it's 158. Other things said 200.

    18. JR

      Mm.

    19. JV

      There was a test I was just looking at that they tr- uh, at room temperature, there wasn't a lot of activity they found, but as soon as they put it up to 50 degrees Celsius, they started testing all sorts of stuff for showing up.

    20. JR

      Hmm. What is 50 degrees Celsius in, um... That's pretty hot.

    21. JV

      Uh, I don't know.

    22. BR

      I- it's like 180 or something like that. But-

    23. JV

      100 would be 212.

    24. JR

      100 is 212?

    25. JV

      Boiling point.

    26. TH

      ... it's 50 degrees is 122. And one point of Celsius is a hundred, and Fahrenheit it's 212.

    27. JR

      So, at 122 they start measuring chemicals leaching.

    28. TH

      And that's not even the... It could be-

    29. JR

      That could be so.

    30. TH

      ... outside here.
