    (drum music) Joe Rogan podcast,…

    1. AM

      (drum music) Joe Rogan podcast, check it out. The Joe Rogan Experience.

    2. JR

      Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day. (energetic music)

    3. JV

      Okay, we're up now.

    4. AM

      Oh, yeah.

    5. JR

      So what, what were you guys, um, talking shop about?

    6. JV

      Want to explain.

    7. JR

      What did (laughs) what did you ask?

    8. AM

      Well...

    9. JR

      What was the question you asked Jamie?

    10. AM

      Okay, well Jai- well, yeah. Jamie's gonna fucking...

    11. JR

      (laughs)

    12. AM

      ... run a train on me.

    13. JV

      Ah.

    14. JR

      I felt that there was some controversy.

    15. AM

      There was some tension. There was some-

    16. JR

      There was a little tension in the room.

    17. AM

      We had, when we had a lovely dinner after your show, uh, we, we went at it a little bit. And we had a little disagreement about compression technologies, pre-amps.

    18. JR

      Really?

    19. AM

      Cloudlifters, you know.

    20. JR

      What is your position?

    21. AM

      Well, my position is... Well, okay.

    22. JR

      (laughs)

    23. JV

      Go ahead.

    24. JR

      Hold on. Okay, okay.

    25. JV

      He's coming from a different place, though, also, so go ahead.

    26. JR

      Okay.

    27. AM

      Yeah, very different. Let's just say, financially, we're coming from a different, very different place.

    28. JR

      Okay.

    29. AM

      But I try to use the Shure SM7B. We actually got, uh, for my podcast, uh, Tussisööd, shout out, here we are, um... It's Estonian, you're not gonna... Well, AI maybe.

    30. JR

      What did you just shout out?

  2. 15:0030:00

    Yeah. …

    1. JR

      upset.

    2. AM

      Yeah.

    3. JR

      And- and so it was-

    4. AM

      He was-

    5. JR

      Um, uh, I had, um, Paul Stanley from KISS on the podcast.

    6. AM

      Wow.

    7. JR

      And he's just flat out saying, "Those people are stealing. They're stealing money." And, you know, my position, it was very... I was like, okay, a bomb just went off. And you could either recognize you have a hole in the ship or you can go full steam ahead with the original plan and this motherfucker's gonna sink. Okay?

    8. AM

      It's like the cartoon when Tom and Jerry, when he's trying to- the ship is sinking.

    9. JR

      The moment music becomes a digital piece of information that can be uploaded to a hard drive. The moment that happens, it's over.

    10. AM

      Mm-hmm.

    11. JR

      So if you don't realize that the war has been lost and devise some sort of monetization of streaming platform, make it simpler, quicker-

    12. AM

      (clears throat)

    13. JR

      ... faster than anybody else's, and then get it up there quick... Because (laughs) like, that's, they should have done that the moment Napster came out.

    14. AM

      Mm-hmm.

    15. JR

      They should have hired like the best coders.

    16. AM

      Mm-hmm.

    17. JR

      And said, "Okay, there is no way you're stopping this." Like, we did... The- the- the dam broke, water's coming through, and record sales-

    18. AM

      Build boats.

    19. JR

      ... are gone.

    20. AM

      Build boats. The dam-

    21. JR

      Record sales just went away.

    22. AM

      So quickly.

    23. JR

      Guys were making millions and millions of dollars from record sales, and then they'd go on tour. And they'd make-

    24. AM

      But even live touring was on a down slope because you didn't need to do that that much. Record sales was the bag.

    25. JR

      Right.

    26. AM

      That's why Madonna went back on tour. I mean-

    27. JR

      Yes.

    28. AM

      I don't- I don't know this, but that's probably-

    29. JR

      She probably also wanted to say what's up. (laughs)

    30. AM

      For sure.

  3. 30:0045:00

    Oh, yeah. …

    1. AM

      I go to the administrator, I go, "Hey..." And we're laughing about it. I go, "This fucking old guy..." And then we wait. And he takes like 40 to 50 minutes to come out of that shower. But see, what I think is he's shameful 'cause-

    2. JR

      Oh, yeah.

    3. AM

      And he comes out. Uh, his face is red, he has a hoodie on, and he's just ran out of the gym. Never came back.

    4. JR

      Oh, wow.

    5. AM

      I think he just... That's that post nut-

    6. JR

      Yeah.

    7. AM

      You know?

    8. JR

      Well, he probably is embarrassed that he did it-

    9. AM

      Exactly.

    10. JR

      ... again.

    11. AM

      Mm-hmm.

    12. JR

      You know?

    13. AM

      Mm-hmm.

    14. JR

      It's probably one of those things. He's probably been kicked out of gyms before.

    15. AM

      Yeah.

    16. JR

      Like he's like got a exit strategy.

    17. AM

      Yeah.

    18. JR

      That's what he does. He's a shower jerker.

    19. AM

      Yeah.

    20. JR

      Those exist. That's why I don't like walking around naked. Okay? Like if you were a woman (laughs) and, uh, you have your beautiful vagina, uh, and there are co-ed showers, would you be... really be comfortable washing your butthole and your vagina in front of a bunch of men? No, of course not.

    21. AM

      We, we, we are.

    22. JR

      Right? So gay guys are real.

    23. AM

      Mm-hmm.

    24. JR

      And, uh, if your little booty hole and your little dick is out flopping around in front of them, um...... to me, as a person who d- doesn't want any of that, I would have- I would imagine that I would not enjoy watching someone stare a- at my Johnson...

    25. AM

      Mm-hmm.

    26. JR

      ... who wants a...

    27. AM

      Mm-hmm.

    28. JR

      ... (slurring words) wants to take a piece and suck on it.

    29. AM

      (laughs)

    30. JR

      (laughs) And they, no, you know what I'm saying? Like, okay, that's, uh, we don't need to think about that.

  4. 45:001:00:00

    But it's also like…

    1. JR

      they're used to living in places where there's nothing but ice.

    2. AM

      But it's also like that thing of-

    3. JR

      That's why they thrive.

    4. AM

      ... like, they say that, uh, "Oh, yeah, but if you let him go, he would die." But that's also because you just ... That's the ma-

    5. JR

      Well, you shouldn't have them in the first place.

    6. AM

      That's the Matrix, the real world thing again-

    7. JR

      Yeah.

    8. AM

      ... that animals also will have that thing where they're ... If they're in the wild, I'm sure it's exactly like being in that Matrix, where in the zoo, yeah, you have all your food, all the stimulus. You're alive.

    9. JR

      Yeah.

    10. AM

      But it's that you gotta get that stimulus. You're created-

    11. JR

      Yes.

    12. AM

      ... to struggle, to hunt, to fucking ...

    13. JR

      Right.

    14. AM

      Yeah.

    15. JR

      Which is the d- I mean, there's a lot of similarities in human beings.

    16. AM

      Absolutely.

    17. JR

      There's a lot of people that are zoo animals.

    18. AM

      (inhales deeply) It's like when you go to nature.

    19. JR

      Yeah.

    20. AM

      Like, in Austin, because I do so much comedy, I've, uh, I'm also ... I'm into cycling now. And sometimes I'll cycle out of the city, but every two weeks I, uh, have enough energy to do, like, a long cycle, and when I get to complete ... That's why I love Estonia too, that it's silence in the woods that you have.

    21. JR

      Mm.

    22. AM

      And you just feel (inhales deeply) ... 'Cause that's where for thousands of years, we've been there, you know?

    23. JR

      Yeah.

    24. AM

      That's where we've been, in that silence.

    25. JR

      Yeah.

    26. AM

      With no ... And then you just feel rejuvenated immediately, you know? I love the sea. I love the ocean. I love woods. I've always been a big ... And that's, that's, that's the same feeling you get, you know? It's just, you feel it in your blood.

    27. JR

      Mm.

    28. AM

      You know? Something's fucking ... It's raw.

    29. JR

      Mm. Yeah. You're alive.

    30. AM

      It's uncomfortable, but it's raw.

  5. 1:00:001:10:22

    I don't know. …

    1. AM

      'Cause the Germans were the first ones with a, uh, tank, with a Panzer, right? That was correct, right?

    2. JR

      I don't know.

    3. AM

      I think so.

    4. JR

      I think so. I think the Panzer was the first.

    5. AM

      And I remember always thinking like, imagine like being like a Russian, Russian soldier or something and you're with a, like, a bolt-action rifle in a ditch.

    6. JR

      And you see that fucking tank.

    7. AM

      But you hear a krack, krack, krack. You don't even know what the fuck that is.

    8. JR

      Yeah.

    9. AM

      And you're like, "A car?" But then you s-... And dude, that feel... Clunk. Nothing. Clack, clack. Clunk.

    10. JR

      Oh my god.

    11. AM

      Oh my god.

    12. JR

      Oh my god. A tank.

    13. AM

      A tank.

    14. JR

      What an insane idea.

    15. JV

      It's basically what the scene is from All Quiet on the Western Front. It's pretty-

    16. AM

      Oh.

    17. JV

      Pretty fucking badass.

    18. JR

      Yeah, yeah, yeah.

    19. JV

      It's not a great time to watch it 'cause we're doing a podcast, but...

    20. AM

      Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, exactly.

    21. JR

      Oh, this is the first time they see the tanks.

    22. JV

      Yeah. Oh, fuck. (laughs)

    23. AM

      Look at this. Look at this. Imagine.

    24. JR

      They just do... You can't stop them.

    25. AM

      It's literally like seeing a Transformer right now. Like if you would see...

    26. JR

      They have no idea what to do.

    27. JV

      This is nuts. Yeah.

    28. AM

      And nobody told you.

    29. JR

      Right.

    30. JV

      It's a good movie to watch.
