(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?
- 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.
- 15:00 – 30:00
Dude, you're so at…
- JRJelly Roll
22 on the album, and I had five or six features that I was gonna do for a deluxe next week, and my wife teased one of the songs that's kinda doing good, so I think I'm just gonna drop them all tomorrow, today, technically, anyway, so...
- JRJoe Rogan
Dude, you're so at home on stage, it's crazy. You know, uh, when you did New York, New York at Madison Square Garden, I asked you, I'm like, "How often do you just do this? Just get up there and sing? How often are you doing this?"
- JRJelly Roll
Ah.
- JRJoe Rogan
It's ki- it's a crazy thing 'cause it's, like, just you. You just are you up there.
- JRJelly Roll
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
You know? 15,000 people, 50,000 people, it's just Jelly Roll.
- JRJelly Roll
Yeah, that's it.
- JRJoe Rogan
It's, uh, that's when a guy's, like, you know, you're, you're just so in the zone and so on top of your game, it's just beautiful to watch someone that's in the zone. 'Cause you recognize that, that feeling is a great feeling, when you're just, like, totally in tune with what you're doing.
- JRJelly Roll
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
I love when I see a comic that's in there.
- JRJelly Roll
When you know it's a flow.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- JRJelly Roll
You know what I mean? When you know it's a flow.
- JRJoe Rogan
Last time, uh, Dave Attell was here, it was right before he filmed his special. My God, it was magic.
- JRJelly Roll
Oh, he's so different.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh my God, he's so good right now. If you get a chance to see Dave Attell live, if you're a comedy fan, you have to see him. He's, and now I'm sure he's got a whole bunch of new stuff because the special's out. But God damn, he's in this fucking flow. He's a, like a, like a zen master up there. It's, it's weird.
- JRJelly Roll
It's scary how comfortable he is. I got, so I've never been to the Cellar. It's been a dream of mine. I had a night in New York, I had finished TV, so I went to the Cellar that night. And I had got Dave Attell's number on Bert's tour. I went on Bert's fully, uh, Fully Loaded Tour this year for fun. Did I tell you this story?
- JRJoe Rogan
I think so.
- JRJelly Roll
Just, like, I think I told you, but just, like, to fuck off, I called Bert and was like, "Yo, can I just park my bus and just come fuck off for, like, five or six shows?"
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- JRJelly Roll
And he was like, "What?" I was like, "Yeah." (laughs) He was like, "Will you sing?"
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs) .
- JRJelly Roll
I was like, "Fuck yeah, whatever, I'll come sing a song or two." So I just go up with a guitar every night between comedians, right? (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
That's amazing.
- JRJelly Roll
But me and Dave would hang out every night, me, Dave, Big Jay Oakerson, So- uh, Soder, um, Morril, and we would all just... Bert, work there, I'm just, like, having the cool... I'm just like, I'm rarely quiet as I am back there 'cause I'm just listening, 'cause these dudes are telling the, they're the greatest storytellers ever-
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, yeah.
- JRJelly Roll
... telling old stories.
- JRJoe Rogan
Great guys too.
- JRJelly Roll
Ye- great dudes.
- JRJoe Rogan
Soder, he is the best.
- 30:00 – 45:00
And a lot of…
- JRJelly Roll
or when they have the guys chasing these things with the spears, they're, like, trying to show a story. It's all trying to tell a story, man.
- JRJoe Rogan
And a lot of mushrooms too.
- JRJelly Roll
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
There's a lot of images of them with mushrooms, a lot.
- 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.
- 45:00 – 1:00:00
Uh. …
- JRJelly Roll
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?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. Elon's right. This is a simu-
- JRJelly Roll
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
This is n- this ain't real life.
- JRJelly Roll
No.
- JRJoe Rogan
It can't be.
- JRJelly Roll
It's unreal, dude. Leaving Nationwide Arena. But, uh, I was also, um, telling Brigham, talking about the humility too is that I'm still nervous walking in here, and we're friends. And you know, but you tell us all the time, what you told Brigham, "Nobody's going to tell you, we're just two friends talking." I was like, "I know, with 20 million motherfuckers listening, dog."
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- JRJelly Roll
I fucking, I'm not falling for that. "We're just two buddies talking." That's it. (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Don't look at the sun.
- JRJelly Roll
That's it. You're right.
- JRJoe Rogan
It's the same thing, don't look at the sun.
- JRJelly Roll
No, I, you know how much I needed to hear that?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- JRJelly Roll
Especially like, because I've n- I don't get in my head about stuff, but just this week was the first time the label called and said, "Hey, we don't want to... We want to put this on your radar because it might make you want to promote the record."
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm-hmm.
- JRJelly Roll
"You might have a number one album."
- JRJoe Rogan
Hmm.
- JRJelly Roll
And I was like, "Whoa." Dude, this shit wasn't even in my mind. When I had a number five album last year, you couldn't have told me I didn't have a number one album. You know what I'm saying? (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Right, right.
- JRJelly Roll
I was like, "Fuck you."
- JRJoe Rogan
Crazy.
- 1:00:00 – 1:03:42
Right. …
- JRJelly Roll
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.
- JRJelly Roll
Um...
- JRJoe Rogan
Do you hear it in a different voice? Like...
- JRJelly Roll
Sometimes, sometimes. But sometimes you just know that it's like, I couldn't sing this with a certain amount of conviction. You know, like for me personally. You know, it's not that I couldn't, um, you know, uh... It's... I don't know, I don't know if this is a good comparison, but it'd be like, I could write a song about hating my wife, but I could never sing it, because I don't really hate my wife.
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.
- JRJelly Roll
I could never sing it with conviction. Now as an... As a songwriter, do I have the skillset to write a song about hating my wife? For sure. But would I ever sing one, and, and, and represent myself that way? And it's just not... Just I couldn't sing it with conviction. But there might be a guy in Nashville who just got his heart broke.
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, you know Colter Wall's Kate McCannon?
- JRJelly Roll
Hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
That's the mother of all I hate my wife songs.
- JRJelly Roll
Oh, yeah. Insane.
- JRJoe Rogan
That's a crazy song. When the fact, the fact that dude was 21 when he sang that, you're like, "What?"
- JRJelly Roll
It sounds like he's 58.
- JRJoe Rogan
I believe in reincarnation.
- JRJelly Roll
I'm telling you, man.
- JRJoe Rogan
There's no other way. That doesn't make sense.
- JRJelly Roll
And if his story couldn't get any cooler, it's that he just doesn't give a fuck.
- JRJoe Rogan
Doesn't give a fuck. Won't do podcasts.
- JRJelly Roll
No. For sure.
- JRJoe Rogan
I tried so hard.
- JRJelly Roll
It's crazy. (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- JRJelly Roll
... crazy, dude.
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- JRJelly Roll
He told Post Malone-
- JRJoe Rogan
Ugh.
- JRJelly Roll
Post Malone hit him up, and Post was like, "Hey man, I'd love to work." And pretty much, he was like, "Yeah, if you ever want to come to the ranch, we can- we can maybe write a song or something." (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- JRJelly Roll
He was- he's like... Post is like, "If you want to fly to the middle of Canada-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
