MSG reunion and the feeling Austin comedy was about to explode
- JRJoe Rogan
(drum roll) Joe Rogan podcast. Check it out.
- NANarrator
The Joe Rogan Experience.
Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day.
- JRJoe Rogan
(rock music plays) Let's go. Let's go, Jelly Roll.
- JRJelly Roll
Yes. I'm back with my bubba. (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
My man. I haven't seen you since, uh, Madison Square Garden. That was crazy.
- JRJelly Roll
Yes. What a great night that was, dude.
- JRJoe Rogan
What an experience. What an experience, man.
- JRJelly Roll
Dude, it was so ... I was thinking about it pulling up here, is that, um, I think y'all just got out of Vulcan and the club had just opened. And I'd came that night to see Ron White, and I went back that Monday to see Kill Tony. And I could feel the Kill Tony thing happening over COVID at Vulcan, so I had to go see it in person, you know?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- JRJelly Roll
And I could remember sitting in there. And you know how, like, you can feel a sh- an energy shift?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- JRJelly Roll
I felt an energy shift in life in that room that night. I was like, "This is fixing to explode."
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- JRJelly Roll
Like, everything associated with this club, everything associated with Tony, everything associated with Joe is fixing to fucking rocket ship. And it felt like, almost like ... I'm getting goosebumps, Joe. I'm not even bullshitting.
- JRJoe Rogan
Woo, I'm getting goosebumps too.
- JRJelly Roll
I'm getting goosebumps.
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- JRJelly Roll
It's almost like ... I swear, dude. It was like feeling the grunge movement in the '90s. Like, when you first heard a little something, you were like, "This is different."
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- JRJelly Roll
And you were like, "This could be something." And then it just turned out to be the explosion. It's like, I felt that happening. So to see Tony at fucking Madison Square Garden, and then to see how y'all showed up for Tony at Madison Square Garden. Every fucking comedian on Earth came to see that dude, to fucking-
- JRJoe Rogan
Two nights we had to be there.
- JRJelly Roll
... kiss him on his fucking cheek. You know what I'm saying?
- 1:34 – 4:46
Tony Hinchcliffe’s evolution into an elite host (and why Kill Tony works)
- JRJoe Rogan
I had to be there. I had to be there. I was there in the beginning. I was there when there was, like, 18 comedians in the crowd.
- JRJelly Roll
Is that not crazy?
- JRJoe Rogan
It was crazy. They were doing it in the Belly Room of the Comedy Store. It was just, like, an afterthought. They couldn't do any of the other rooms 'cause they didn't have an audience, and they would ... And Tony just had this weird idea that he just, like ... Like a little pit bull, just stuck with it.
- JRJelly Roll
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
One minute of comedy, and he, like, honed it over time, and figured out ... And then he became the best host in all of entertainment. There's n- no one better at hosting a comedy show than him. The way he does that show, the f- the speed of his comebacks, the speed of his, like ... The roast lines.
- JRJelly Roll
Yeah. I tell Tony all the time-
- JRJoe Rogan
He's a wizard.
- JRJelly Roll
I say, "Tony, I love you, and that panel is the coolest thing I've ever seen. But you are the show, brother."
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, he's a monster.
- JRJelly Roll
We- we would all tune in if you were sitting up there by yourself.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- JRJelly Roll
Like, you are just so sharp. Y- I relate to it too, Joe. I c- I- I- I compare art forms. It's just something I like to do. I know some people don't. But watching Tony, I feel a kinship to Tony and Andrew Schulz in a certain way, because I feel like we all kind of met each other right before it happened for all of us.
- JRJoe Rogan
Right. Right, right, right.
- JRJelly Roll
Like, I remember me and Schulz doing the Opener Up song at the five, four... You know, he was doing two nights at Zanies, two shows. One show. You know, one show a night. You know what I mean?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- JRJelly Roll
And I was doing a thousand-seat club in the South. You know what I mean? And Tony was still Kill Tony-ing. You know what I mean? Like, and then-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- JRJelly Roll
And we're all fucking old. Like, the fact that it happened for all of us in our late 30s-
- JRJoe Rogan
True.
- JRJelly Roll
... is even cooler.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- JRJelly Roll
So it's this double kinship. Like, when I was nominated for New Artist of the Year at almost 40, that's the first time that had ever happened in CMA history, in country music.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- JRJelly Roll
But, like, this year, most of those kids are 27 and under. Here I was, a 40-year-old fucking man up there.
- JRJoe Rogan
You're a beauty- beautiful example that there's no rules.
- JRJelly Roll
Yes.
- JRJoe Rogan
There's no rules. It's all bullshit. Just be yourself.
- JRJelly Roll
That's it.
- JRJoe Rogan
Just be yourself. Do your best. Find, find whatever it is inside you that you can express.
- JRJelly Roll
That's it.
- 4:46 – 8:05
Ron White, sobriety, and the chain reaction that built Austin’s comedy hub
- JRJoe Rogan
He was the first guy out here, you know. He was the first guy that came. He moved here before the pandemic.
- JRJelly Roll
That's crazy.
- JRJoe Rogan
'Cause he was always with us at the Store, and then one day, I called him up. I go, "Where the fuck you been, man?" He goes, "I moved to Austin." Fuck it.
- JRJelly Roll
Back to Texas.
- JRJoe Rogan
He just ... He said ... He just loved it. He's like, "There's no traffic. Everyone's nice." And I started thinking about it then. He planted, like, the first seeds in, like, 2018. I was like, "Could I live in Austin?" Fuck, I don't know. Because my instinct has always been to move to the mountains. Like, I wanna, I wanna live somewhere where there's no people. Like, very few people.
- JRJelly Roll
Did you ever have a ... Did you have mountains in mind when you, like, romanticized it? Did you ever think of what mountains you would move to if you did it?
- JRJoe Rogan
I really liked the mountains above Boulder.
- JRJelly Roll
Mm.
- JRJoe Rogan
I really ... I lived there for a little while in 2009. But, uh, when, um ... I think about Montana sometimes. I think about just someplace more peaceful. Wyoming. Somewhere just a little more peaceful. Cold as fuck in the winter, but just, like, more real. And that was m- my thought when I was living in LA, but it was, like, a necessity to get the fuck out of there. When, when the COVID stuff was going on, I'm like, "They are not gonna let this go. They are gonna keep us in control for ... " Once they have control of you like they had during the pandemic, wear a mask, gotta get a vaccine, can't go here, can't go there, no businesses, everything shut down, all the restaurants go under, all the comedy clubs go under. When they were doing that, I was like, "They're not gonna let this go. I gotta get the fuck out of here." And when we came to Texas ...... it was wide open.
- JRJelly Roll
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
Like, you know, some places made you wear a mask, but it was a joke. It was like, it was a goof, it was weird. It was like a two- completely different universe. We could go to... W- my kids were young, man. They were 10 and 12, and like, they wanted to go to restaurants. I'm like, "We can go to a restaurant here, sit indoors." Like, for everyone was terrified in LA, and they just weren't here. And the same results, like the same, the same thing happened to everybody, but over here, it was a way more peaceful experience. And Ron, when we were out here, we, we started doing shows at the Vulcan. And one night, the first time Ron had been on stage in like eight months, he just grabbed me by my shoulders, and was like, "Whatever the fuck we have to do, we're gonna keep doing this." He's like, "You gotta open up a club." And I'm like, (sighs) "All right. That's it. We're opening up a club." And the process began.
- JRJelly Roll
God, dude.
- JRJoe Rogan
All because of Ron. Ron l- led me to think about moving here. Ron was already out here, so I knew that if I did move to Austin, at least Ron's here.
- JRJelly Roll
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
You know? And then Tony moved here, and then Brian Simpson moved here, and then the fucking... The, just the train kept a-rollin all night long. It was nuts.
- JRJelly Roll
You know, the cool... I think it was by default, it was kind of a universe thing where there was a little bit of still water that needed to be stirred.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- JRJelly Roll
And when you came, that still water stirred, and it awakened everybody. Like, hold on, there's, there's choices outside of the same routine that we've been... 'Cause like, you know, I mean, I'm sure y'all's life was stores, stores, stores, weekends out, stores, stores, stores.
- JRJoe Rogan
It was improv too. I did the im-
- JRJelly Roll
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
... in the Icehouse.
- JRJelly Roll
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
There was a few clubs we did, like on a regular. We could... You know, 'cause th- the more places to work out, the better. You know, and when we were... There were so many of us too. You know, we'd, we'd have shows where it's like Bill Burr's on, me, Tom Segura, Bert Kreischer. They're crazy shows.
- JRJelly Roll
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Crazy shows, 'cause everybody was in LA. It was a beautiful thing up until th- they shut everything down.
- JRJelly Roll
It's that beautiful here now though, bud.
- JRJoe Rogan
I n- that's what's crazy.
- JRJelly Roll
Man, that's what I'm saying. The, the, the water is complete... I mean, it is...
- 8:05 – 9:29
Sponsor break + the club as a ‘gym’ for comedians
- JRJoe Rogan
This show is sponsored by Better Help. It's a really healthy, good thing to talk about what you're going through with people, the good and the bad. Don't keep it all bottled up.

There's an added element that we bring new people in every weekend. So, every weekend, there's these big national headliners. So, they come in on Tuesday, Wednesday, and we're fucking around all week.
- JRJelly Roll
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
We're just having a great time, hanging out.
- JRJelly Roll
No, no, no. That's what I, that's how I describe your club. I was like, "It's the gym for the greatest comedians in the world Tuesday through Thursday, and then the other greatest comedians in the world come and rent it from Friday (laughs) to Sunday."
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- JRJelly Roll
I was like, "It's crazy, dude." It's like, no matter what day or show-
- JRJoe Rogan
And then you have Kill Tony, that's the anchor.
- JRJelly Roll
Every Monday.
- JRJoe Rogan
Kill Tony, Kill Tony is the anchor of comedy in the known universe.
- JRJelly Roll
Yeah.
- 9:29 – 24:52
Kill Tony’s ‘one minute’ philosophy and the arena-proof chaos
- JRJoe Rogan
It really... That's a grandiose statement, I know. But what Kill Tony shows you is like, every comic wants a reaction. And some comics, unfortunately, if you're in specific areas, like very liberal areas, like Silverlake has a problem with this, like those kind of places, where everyone's like super woke and they want to let everyone else know that they're super woke. It's like a kind of thing you have to do. So, you get ideologically captured, and you, you, you make material that's bullshit. You get clapter. What Kill Tony makes you do is you have one fucking minute. You have one minute, and there's obviously no rules. By the time you get on stage, you've seen Cam go crazy.
- JRJelly Roll
Oh, yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
You've seen Hans Kim say some ridiculous shit. Maybe you've seen William Montgomery or Brian Holtz, but you've seen maniacs on stage killing.
- JRJelly Roll
Oh, yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
And so you got one minute just crack. It's time to crack. So, it sets a tone for comedy. The comedy is just entertaining.
- JRJelly Roll
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
No matter how you put it out, no matter what it is, what your style is, what you like to talk about, whether you're Nate Bargatze or whether you're Shane Gillis.
- JRJelly Roll
Right.
- JRJoe Rogan
It's like there- there's just a different way to do it. Everybody's got their own way to do it, but it's just, just go try to find your way. Don't try any tricks. Don't try to sneak in some fucking ideological bullshit just 'cause you think people are gonna agree with you and like you more, and clap and che- and you're gonna say something profound. Shut up, you got one minute. So, that sets a tone for all the people coming up.
- JRJelly Roll
(laughs) So real. (laughs) I never thought of it that way.
- JRJoe Rogan
It's so real. It's the mo- it's one of the most important things that's ever happened to comedy, yeah.
- JRJelly Roll
Yeah. Nobody's trying to impose their beliefs on you real quick.
- JRJoe Rogan
Exactly.
- JRJelly Roll
They're just trying to make... They got 60 seconds to get a fucking laugh.
- JRJoe Rogan
And you-
- JRJelly Roll
And the Kill Tony crowd will boo you if you don't.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, they'll boo.
- JRJelly Roll
You've got about 30 seconds with them up in-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, they have very little time.
- JRJelly Roll
... in an arena, in an arena. Real dangerous grounds, dude. (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Bro, they were... And especially New Yorkers.
- JRJelly Roll
The first show in New York, dude.
- JRJoe Rogan
They were rough. (laughs) They were rough.
- JRJelly Roll
It was... (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
They were rough. They go hard.
- JRJelly Roll
You know, when I knew the arena thing was gonna be huge for Tony, I flew down here for the first one he did, 'cause we were drunk at the bar that night, and he was like, "I'm gonna play an arena." I was like, "I'm gonna come sing the national anthem." C- and it's a, it was a joke 'cause I don't sing the national anthem.
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- JRJelly Roll
I have a rule, I don't sing the national anthem, (laughs) but I told him I was gonna do it. So, I came down, and we're watching, um, the first comedian this night at the HEB Center, right? The first bucket pull comes up, and you could tell this bitch did not have any idea she was gonna get called or anything to say.
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- JRJelly Roll
This is the first... You're talking about a gift from God for Tony, right?
- 24:52 – 30:10
Storytelling as the oldest entertainment: campfires, drugs, and sacred myths
- JRJoe Rogan
I mean, that's why you love a good movie and it's why you love a good book.
- JRJelly Roll
Yeah, especially when there's somebody that can tell a story that can capture you in a certain way.
- JRJoe Rogan
I think it was probably the oldest form of entertainment.
- JRJelly Roll
Hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
Right? Once people, when they first started learning language, I bet the oldest form of entertainment was probably recreating a thing they saw.
- JRJelly Roll
Right. Hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. It had to be, right?
- JRJelly Roll
Yeah, for sure. I mean, I, well, think about the old, "Let's sit around the campfire, read stories."
- JRJoe Rogan
Sure.
- JRJelly Roll
I mean, that, that-
- JRJoe Rogan
Sure.
- JRJelly Roll
I'm sure they were telling tales. Tall tales is what they used to call 'em. Think about how long we've been hearing these kinda stories of people just telling stories.
- JRJoe Rogan
Also, back then, that was the only time in your day that you got to relax.
- JRJelly Roll
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
When you're sitting around the campfire, that was the only time. It was dark out, there was nothing to do. You found all the food you're gonna find, and you're gonna get up in the morning and go right back at it all day long again, and then eventually find your way back to the campfire.
- JRJelly Roll
Good.
- JRJoe Rogan
So, the campfire was, like, the time where people would sit around and entertain each other.
- JRJelly Roll
Wow.
- JRJoe Rogan
In pre-history.
- JRJelly Roll
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
You know?
- JRJelly Roll
That's deep, 'cause you're thinking about it, like, from a hunting perspective too. They had to go out all day and find the food.
- JRJoe Rogan
Y- yeah, if you were-
- JRJelly Roll
You could only do that when the sun was out.
- JRJoe Rogan
You could only do it when the sun was out, and then at nighttime it's fucking dangerous 'cause there's predators out there.
- JRJelly Roll
Yeah. Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
So, fire is the best thing to keep off the predators, you know, fire, and everybody gathers around the fire 'cause the predators don't wanna come to the fire.
- JRJelly Roll
Yep.
- JRJoe Rogan
Fuck, man. And that's where people learned how to tell stories. That's why we're so attracted to it.
- JRJelly Roll
And they were doing fucking drugs back then too, I'm sure.
- 30:10 – 36:51
Psilocybin: legality, healing experiences, and the ‘mushrooms from space’ theory
- JRJelly Roll
I might do mushrooms today. It's my album release today-
- JRJoe Rogan
Today?
- JRJelly Roll
... I'm thinking about it. I don't know if I wanna do mushrooms-
- JRJoe Rogan
God, they should be legal.
- JRJelly Roll
I know, right? (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
God, they should be legal. They should be legal and regulated, and people should figure out what the fuck they do.
- JRJelly Roll
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Should do a lot of research, figure out what this is. This might be the thing that gets us out of there, just on a micro-dosing nation-
- JRJelly Roll
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
... and connects together.
- JRJelly Roll
I know every time I've went deep, it was life changing for me.... like, I'll do a lot of mushrooms every now and then, just, like, you know, "Woo, let's get..." But any time I was like, "Let's go," it was a life-changing experience every time.
- JRJoe Rogan
It's funny that people wanna reject that as not being imp- that's, what's really important is to keep people from, like, losing their mind and losing their ambition and, and becoming like the hippies were in the 1960s following Timothy Leary.
- JRJelly Roll
Hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
That's what everybody's worried about. Everybody's worried about, like, this collapse of society because people, they give up on capitalism and they, they tune in and drop out, you know?
- JRJelly Roll
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
That, that whole thing? I don't think that's real. (laughs)
- JRJelly Roll
(laughs) Right?
- JRJoe Rogan
I think, I think... I don't think we should be worried about that.
- JRJelly Roll
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
I think those people are always gonna wanna drop out. The people that are, that wanna fuck off are always gonna wanna fuck off and if you give them an excuse, yeah, they're gonna do it. But that's just a style of person. That's not gonna affect most people. Most people would benefit, especially if they're not crazy, if they don't have, like, mental health problems. It'll, you'll probably get something out of it.
- JRJelly Roll
Yeah. I mean, it's, it's helped me in some of my most depressed moments. If I'm really in a dark, dark spot and can't get out of it, my wife will encourage me to go trip. She'll be like, "Why don't you go..." 'Cause we, like, uh, we got this, uh, called the Buffalo River back in Tennessee. It's out- outside of a little town called Hohenwald, Tennessee. Look, old country river, man. I mean, little country creek, river. River, I mean, it's a river but it's kinda shallow. You can see the bottom of it and we'll go... It's called Floating the Buffalo. We'll go out there and just float the buffalo. And every now, about twice a year, me and the buddies will go out there and we'll just take six or seven-
- JRJoe Rogan
Damn.
- JRJelly Roll
... and just float the buffalo.
- JRJoe Rogan
Damn.
- JRJelly Roll
So if I haven't got to do it in a year because of the schedule, my wife will feel that on me and be like-
- JRJoe Rogan
Maybe you need to go.
- JRJelly Roll
... "Yo, you might need to go to the buffalo." You know what I'm saying? (laughs) She's like, she'll, she'll say it really cool. She'll be like, "When's the last time you floated the buffalo?"
- JRJoe Rogan
Hmm.
- JRJelly Roll
And I'll be like, "Man, it's been a year, hadn't it?" She'll be like, "I think you should, you and Scary Larry," who's one of my best friends, and he's, I've known him, we met each other in juvenile hall. He's a, just wild character. She goes, "You and Scary should go float the buffalo."
- JRJoe Rogan
Hmm.
- 36:51 – 43:41
Simulation talk, imposter syndrome, and staring at the sun of success
- JRJelly Roll
(laughs) That's great. (laughs) You know what I tell somebody all the time? My new theory is, 'cause my life turned out in such a way I never dreamed, that this is a simulation. And that there is an overweight, nerdy alien that plays me.
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- JRJelly Roll
And that during my s-... I, I think about this all the time when I'm high. And that my sleeping hours are, like, when he's doing his normal stuff, and my waking hours are his two hours a day.
- JRJoe Rogan
Hmm.
- JRJelly Roll
And I just imagine this, like, kid that's looking back, like, "Mom! You won't believe what I've done with that fat dude the last nine months."
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- JRJelly Roll
"It's fucking crazy! He's one of the most famous artists in the world." And she's like, "You gotta get off." He's like, "But he's going to the Grammys!" (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, it's like a-
- JRJelly Roll
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
... super hype version of Red Dead Redemption.
- JRJelly Roll
You know? (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- JRJelly Roll
My, my, my dude's telling people, like, "Y'all remember that dude we thought wasn't gonna do it? He did it! He, he fucking figured it out!"
- JRJoe Rogan
If it's a simulation, it's a really good one. We're in a good timeline, brother.
- JRJelly Roll
Oh, it couldn't be any better, man.
- JRJoe Rogan
We're in a, we're in a really good episode.
- JRJelly Roll
Oh, dude.
- JRJoe Rogan
We got a-
- JRJelly Roll
Yeah. (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
... fucking good group of writers.
- JRJelly Roll
It couldn't have got any cooler, man. (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
And that's like, if you're on a show and you've got writers like this, like, "Fuck, these writers are amazing."
- JRJelly Roll
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
This fucking show is always entertaining. Every day there's some new drama.
- JRJelly Roll
Yeah. Oh, especially right now. We're in the middle of a drama scene.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh my goodness, there's so much. There is so much, y- you can get overwhelmed just looking at the fucking news every day.
- JRJelly Roll
It's a great time for me to be in the middle of a tour.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yes.
- JRJelly Roll
'Cause I have missed it all. I'm doing-
- JRJoe Rogan
That's good.
- 43:41 – 1:05:13
100-pound weight loss, food addiction patterns, and building healthier routines on tour
- JRJelly Roll
You know what I mean? And, um, it's, it's really inspired me to start focusing on my health too, dude. I'm down 100 pounds now. Officially down 100 fucking pounds.
- JRJoe Rogan
That's amazing. Congratulations. That's really huge.
- JRJelly Roll
Dude, it's-
- JRJoe Rogan
That's a big, massive accomplishment.
- JRJelly Roll
Thank you, brother. It's been all food. I'm working out, I'm walking, but what I've learned is, as I'm losing the weight, it's inspiring me to just-
- JRJoe Rogan
Keep going.
- JRJelly Roll
By nature I want to go walk and do more stuff, because-
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.
- JRJelly Roll
... I'm fucking, I'm lighter.
- JRJoe Rogan
Sure, sure.
- JRJelly Roll
I feel better. So when the army's like, "You want to go play basketball?" We're playing basketball three days a week now.
- JRJoe Rogan
Wow.
- JRJelly Roll
You want to hear the coolest act of love, Joe? I'll, I'll try not to get emotional talking about this, but... My whole band has watched me fight. Cocaine addiction, l- they watched me get off coke, they watched me get off lean. They've watched me figure my life out slowly. And they knew that the last mountain for me was food. So we started putting a real structure around it, I hired a real nutritionist, he's out here with me now. I mean, like, I'm only eating his food. I'm just like super with it, we're getting anything that could, you know, out of the green room, we're just... So I'm working out every day, walking around the arenas. And one day they have a basketball court, because we're fucking playing in a... This is insane, by the way, that I'm playing in fucking NBA arenas.
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- JRJelly Roll
And like, I'm playing where the fucking Orlando Magic... (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- JRJelly Roll
I'm on an Orlando Magic court. Like, what the f- I feel, I'm, I'm like a fucking fat Shaq.
- JRJoe Rogan
Uh.
- JRJelly Roll
But, um, so the first day it's just like me and like three or four dudes. The crew heard. Dude, the next day, 30. The whole crew showed up for me. And they don't, you know, these dudes are just, they're just there because they know it's helping me, kind of. So now three days a week we're renting basketball courts and having full-blown fucking tournaments.
- JRJoe Rogan
Wow.
- JRJelly Roll
And it's been so good for me, because it's like reconnecting to my childhood in this really weird way of like, I grew up in a community where there were basketball courts and we would all go play, you know what I mean? It's like, it's been really like... It's been the best experience ever. And I'm getting to do it in like, back to that weird shit. Not only are you experiencing this with your friends and people you love, and then you're doing it at the San Antonio Spurs court.
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- JRJelly Roll
(laughs) And the San Antonio Spurs coach is out there giving you pointers and fucking being the referee.
- JRJoe Rogan
That's amazing.
- JRJelly Roll
And you're, you're, the Sacramento Kings coach is fucking shooting with you, you know what I mean?
