   3. Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day. (energetic music plays) Hello, Alex. I'm with the Joe.

   4. JRJoe Rogan0:14

      Good to see you, buddy. What's going on?

   5. ASAdam Sandler0:15

      I'm happy to s-... I'm so happy to be here, buddy. Thanks for-

   6. JRJoe Rogan0:17

      I'm happy to have you here.

   7. ASAdam Sandler0:19

      I, uh, I was excited to see you. We know each other a long time. And, uh, and, um, I, I was ex- excited to come to Austin, of course.

   8. JRJoe Rogan0:27

      We were just talking about how Zookeeper was 14 years ago.

   9. ASAdam Sandler0:30

      I, I, it's shocking.

   10. JRJoe Rogan0:31

       Like, how?

   11. ASAdam Sandler0:33

       Yeah.

   12. JRJoe Rogan0:33

       How? (laughs)

   13. ASAdam Sandler0:34

       I, I know. I hate that.

   14. JRJoe Rogan0:35

       Time just fucking flies by, man. (laughs)

   15. ASAdam Sandler0:37

       It's terrible. It's terrible. It's, that, that was a fun time, though. That's k-

   16. JRJoe Rogan0:41

       Oh, yeah.

   17. ASAdam Sandler0:41

       KJ was so excited. That was a-

   18. JRJoe Rogan0:43

       It was very fun.

   19. ASAdam Sandler0:44

       Yeah.

   20. JRJoe Rogan0:44

       That was very fun.

   21. ASAdam Sandler0:45

       I re-

   22. JRJoe Rogan0:45

       Yeah.

   23. ASAdam Sandler0:46

       I, uh, um, you and KJ st-... With Sussie.

   24. JRJoe Rogan0:49

       Yeah.

   25. ASAdam Sandler0:49

       Right?

   26. JRJoe Rogan0:49

       Yeah.

   27. ASAdam Sandler0:50

       That's how you guys, that's, oh, you guys-

   28. JRJoe Rogan0:51

       I've known Kevin for 30 something years.

   29. ASAdam Sandler0:54

       Yeah.

   30. JRJoe Rogan0:54

       I've known him forever.
2. 15:00 – 30:00

   (laughs) …

   1. ASAdam Sandler15:00

      And he fucking grabbed me, twisted me around, had me in some weird hold.

   2. JRJoe Rogan15:03

      (laughs)

   3. ASAdam Sandler15:03

      I said, "Oh, okay. He's just letting me know he can destroy me."

   4. JRJoe Rogan15:07

      (laughs)

   5. ASAdam Sandler15:07

      But, uh... (laughs) But I remember just going, "Yeah that's, that's fucking something I should get into, man." But I just can't... I'm not flexible at all. You f-... You're very flexible, huh?

   6. JRJoe Rogan15:16

      Yeah.

   7. ASAdam Sandler15:16

      That helps.

   8. JRJoe Rogan15:17

      Well, I started stretching before I hit puberty.

   9. ASAdam Sandler15:20

      Mm-hmm.

   10. JRJoe Rogan15:20

       That's the big thing. Or during puberty, really. So it's like while your body's thickening, you know, you're, you're stretching-

   11. ASAdam Sandler15:26

       Keeping it loose.

   12. JRJoe Rogan15:26

       ... and that, that-

   13. ASAdam Sandler15:27

       Yeah.

   14. JRJoe Rogan15:27

       ... makes a giant difference.

   15. ASAdam Sandler15:28

       I never... I... By the way, KJ, with being flexible, is very odd. He can put the hands on.

   16. JRJoe Rogan15:34

       Yeah.

   17. ASAdam Sandler15:34

       He's fucking weirdly-

   18. JRJoe Rogan15:35

       He's a very athletic guy.

   19. ASAdam Sandler15:37

       Goodness, yeah.

   20. JRJoe Rogan15:37

       He just eats like a fucking army.

   21. ASAdam Sandler15:40

       (laughs)

   22. JRJoe Rogan15:40

       (laughs)

   23. ASAdam Sandler15:40

       He does get excited.

   24. JRJoe Rogan15:42

       Yeah.

   25. ASAdam Sandler15:42

       K-... He... I sometimes, when we were young, I'd say, "Tell me your, uh, McDonald's order." And he'd be like, "Okay. Three Quarter Pounders, three Big Macs." Like, whatever the fuck it, it was.

   26. JRJoe Rogan15:52

       Oh, he goes hard.

   27. ASAdam Sandler15:53

       It w-... His McDonald's order is insane.

   28. JRJoe Rogan15:55

       He goes hard.

   29. ASAdam Sandler15:55

       Yeah.

   30. JRJoe Rogan15:55

       Kevin go hard. But he, uh... But like, he also, when he was on-
3. 30:00 – 45:00

   Yeah, it's very exciting.…

   1. GUGuest30:00

      a new joke.

   2. JRJoe Rogan30:01

      Yeah, it's very exciting.

   3. GUGuest30:02

      That's the best if it's working. Usually does work, too, 'cause you're excited.

   4. JRJoe Rogan30:05

      Well, you're enthusiastic about it.

   5. GUGuest30:07

      Yeah, yeah.

   6. JRJoe Rogan30:07

      And if you really...... have thought about it and prepared for it. It's like a new thing for you. So, it's like this exciting new toy.

   7. ASAdam Sandler30:15

      Yeah, yeah. Yes, yes. You can't wait to get to that or open with it or whatever the fuck it is.

   8. JRJoe Rogan30:19

      Yeah. When you do movies, d- do you just come up with a premise first? Like, when you d- decide to do a film-

   9. ASAdam Sandler30:26

      Yeah.

   10. JRJoe Rogan30:26

       ... like if you decide to do Happy Gilmore or-

   11. ASAdam Sandler30:28

       Yeah.

   12. JRJoe Rogan30:28

       How do you, how do you, like, make your movies? How do you start?

   13. ASAdam Sandler30:31

       That's... I mean, that was just lucky premise. Um, Billy Madison. I remember, I thought, "Oh, this could be great." A guy who... A grown-up who does elementary school again. And that's a great idea of being... I get to be goofy, get to bully these little kids, then all of a sudden connect with these kids and have fun growing up again. So, uh, but part of my head was like, "Well, Rodney did Back to School already, so I- everyone's gonna say I just ripped off Back to School. Rodney went back to college. How the fuck do we, kinda do it a l- step away from that?" And then I called my buddy, Herlihy, who I went to college with, and he writes all the movies with me. Or, or h- he's just a, he's just a great, funny man. And, uh, I've written almost everything with him. And, uh, if he goes, "Ooh, that's good," then we usually go from there and, and we try to fill it out after that. Same thing with Happy Gilmore, Wedding Singer, Bobby Boucher, all that shit. We were just like... Came up with a couple of lines of what we thought was a interesting idea, and then see if we can fill it out.

   14. JRJoe Rogan31:40

       It's f- so funny because your films get loved by the public and hated by critics. It's so hilarious.

   15. ASAdam Sandler31:47

       Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

   16. JRJoe Rogan31:47

       Like, you are the lead. Like, whatever the Rotten Tomatoes Critics score is-

   17. ASAdam Sandler31:52

       Yes, yes.

   18. JRJoe Rogan31:53

       ... for your films, means zero. It means nothing.

   19. ASAdam Sandler31:55

       Right.

   20. JRJoe Rogan31:55

       It's only the audience, is what counts.

   21. ASAdam Sandler31:58

       That's all we thought about, yeah, yeah.

   22. JRJoe Rogan32:00

       'Cause your films are all so fun and so silly. And so, uh, in my opinion, so underappreciated.

   23. ASAdam Sandler32:07

       Thank you, man.

   24. JRJoe Rogan32:07

       Because, like, this is one of the things I thought about during COVID. Like, we watched it every night. We w- we watched-

   25. ASAdam Sandler32:13

       That's cool.

   26. JRJoe Rogan32:13

       ... like, every film that you made while everything was locked down.

   27. ASAdam Sandler32:16

       Amazing, I love that. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah, my fucking... I don't know, man. We lucked out. We're, we, we, we worked our asses off like you're working your ass off now. Like this is, this is... Took it very serious.

   28. JRJoe Rogan32:30

       But you caught like a silly groove.

   29. ASAdam Sandler32:33

       Yes, yes.

   30. JRJoe Rogan32:33

       That I don't think anybody else has that silly groove like you do.
4. 45:00 – 1:00:00

   Yeah. …

   1. JRJoe Rogan45:00

      it out yourself, 'cause your way of doing it is different than my way of doing it. My way is different than Kevin's way.

   2. ASAdam Sandler45:04

      Yeah.

   3. JRJoe Rogan45:05

      Kevin's way is different-

   4. ASAdam Sandler45:06

      Yeah.

   5. JRJoe Rogan45:06

      ... than fucking d- d- Seinfeld's way.

   6. ASAdam Sandler45:08

      Yes.

   7. JRJoe Rogan45:08

      Everybody's got a different way of doing it.

   8. ASAdam Sandler45:10

      Absolutely.

   9. JRJoe Rogan45:10

      And nobody can teach you how to do it. You can learn some things.

   10. ASAdam Sandler45:14

       Yes.

   11. JRJoe Rogan45:14

       From watching other people. You can learn some things from-

   12. ASAdam Sandler45:17

       Oh, man, yeah.

   13. JRJoe Rogan45:18

       But-

   14. ASAdam Sandler45:19

       How about when somebody fucking great watches you and says, "Hey, you know what you could say here," and gives you a great line? You're like, "Oh my God, thank you."

   15. JRJoe Rogan45:26

       Yes, no, that's huge.

   16. ASAdam Sandler45:28

       And it ki- That, what a feeling. You just made my okay thing into a fucking one I'm excited to do.

   17. JRJoe Rogan45:32

       Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's been a couple of bits that I've had that, uh, got a tag from a friend, and it just, like, pops it up.

   18. ASAdam Sandler45:38

       Oh, and it, you're like, "How did I ever do it-"

   19. JRJoe Rogan45:39

       Yeah.

   20. ASAdam Sandler45:39

       "... without that fucking line?"

   21. JRJoe Rogan45:41

       Yeah.

   22. ASAdam Sandler45:41

       Yeah, yeah.

   23. JRJoe Rogan45:41

       Sometimes, like, a fresh eye, you know? That's one of the things that I always, uh, admired about how Chris Rock used to do it.

   24. ASAdam Sandler45:47

       Yeah.

   25. JRJoe Rogan45:47

       'Cause Chris Rock would go on stage.

   26. ASAdam Sandler45:49

       Yeah.

   27. JRJoe Rogan45:49

       He'd work his stuff out, and then he'd have a bunch of guys that he would hire-

   28. ASAdam Sandler45:52

       Yes.

   29. JRJoe Rogan45:52

       ... to sit in the back of the room-

   30. ASAdam Sandler45:54

       Yeah.
5. 1:00:00 – 1:04:48

   Of course, yes, yes.…

   1. JRJoe Rogan1:00:00

      like that.

   2. ASAdam Sandler1:00:00

      Of course, yes, yes.

   3. JRJoe Rogan1:00:01

      And they didn't even understand-

   4. ASAdam Sandler1:00:02

      No, yeah, yeah.

   5. JRJoe Rogan1:00:02

      ... that they had been tricked into dressing like a gay biker.

   6. ASAdam Sandler1:00:04

      Yeah, yeah, I love that, man.

   7. JRJoe Rogan1:00:06

      (laughs)

   8. ASAdam Sandler1:00:06

      That's a great one, man. I saw them-

   9. JRJoe Rogan1:00:08

      But he was so cool.

   10. ASAdam Sandler1:00:08

       I saw them at fucking Radio City with Iron Maiden.

   11. JRJoe Rogan1:00:12

       Really?

   12. ASAdam Sandler1:00:12

       That was a biggie.

   13. JRJoe Rogan1:00:13

       Wow.

   14. ASAdam Sandler1:00:14

       I was up in the balcony screaming, screaming, "I wanna dress like you."

   15. JRJoe Rogan1:00:18

       (laughs)

   16. ASAdam Sandler1:00:19

       (laughs) No, that was, that was good.

   17. JRJoe Rogan1:00:21

       Yeah, look at you, man.

   18. ASAdam Sandler1:00:21

       Yeah, the boys. Yeah, yeah.

   19. JRJoe Rogan1:00:22

       I mean, come on, dude.

   20. ASAdam Sandler1:00:23

       Fucking The Hellion. (singing)

   21. JRJoe Rogan1:00:26

       Yeah.

   22. ASAdam Sandler1:00:27

       They were nasty. They were nasty. That's a tough looking guy.

   23. JRJoe Rogan1:00:31

       << You got another thing coming. >>

   24. ASAdam Sandler1:00:32

       Yeah, it was a baby.

   25. JRJoe Rogan1:00:32

       Look at him there with his fucking crazy outfits.

   26. ASAdam Sandler1:00:35

       Yeah, yeah.

   27. JRJoe Rogan1:00:36

       (gasps) It's just so funny all the different styles of bands that existed.

   28. ASAdam Sandler1:00:40

       Oh, man, I had fucking pleather pants. I wore fake leather pants for a bit. I, I didn't know my body wasn't great.

   29. JRJoe Rogan1:00:48

       (laughs)

   30. ASAdam Sandler1:00:49

       So I was like, "You throw that shit on, you look like a rockstar." Then I'd fucking see the pictures (laughs) that my mom took of me after. I'd look back and be like, "How the fuck did you let me out wearing that shit?"
