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

   2. JDJeff Dye0:06

      Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day. (rock music) I used to have a dog that had terrible... I mean ju- I don't how to... I'm always traveling and also, like, I'm not real good with discipline of, like, someone else, you know?

   3. JRJoe Rogan0:20

      Right.

   4. JDJeff Dye0:20

      Like, I don't how to train a dog. So I just let him do anything. So I think it was hilarious. He'd be, like, chewing on something and I'm like, "Check that out." They're like, "He shouldn't do that." I was like, "Eh, fuck it. Let him..." Like, I just liked the idea that he was wild.

   5. JRJoe Rogan0:30

      (laughs)

   6. JDJeff Dye0:31

      It made me happy.

   7. JRJoe Rogan0:33

      Yep. It's very bad, though, if, you know, your dog bites somebody.

   8. JDJeff Dye0:36

      Oh, he's always just humping stuff and, like, eating the-

   9. JRJoe Rogan0:38

      What kind of dog?

   10. JDJeff Dye0:38

       He was a Ridgeback.

   11. JRJoe Rogan0:39

       Oh, Rhodesian Ridgeback?

   12. JDJeff Dye0:40

       Yeah.

   13. JRJoe Rogan0:41

       Oh. Those are-

   14. JDJeff Dye0:41

       But in my mind, I'm like, "Well, why do I wanna reign tyranny on this dog and be like, 'he needs to sit, he needs...'"

   15. JRJoe Rogan0:47

       Yeah.

   16. JDJeff Dye0:47

       I kinda liked that he was, like, this little psycho that would hump things and-

   17. JRJoe Rogan0:50

       That's fun, but you gotta be able to control them.

   18. JDJeff Dye0:53

       No, no, I couldn't.

   19. JRJoe Rogan0:54

       Yeah. How old were you back then?

   20. JDJeff Dye0:56

       I was young. Like, 31 or something at the time.

   21. JRJoe Rogan0:58

       (laughs)

   22. JDJeff Dye0:59

       It was, it was, like, but young...

   23. JRJoe Rogan1:01

       It's not that young.

   24. JDJeff Dye1:02

       Young to me, dude. I didn't become an adult for a while.

   25. JRJoe Rogan1:04

       For, like, six months ago. (laughs)

   26. JDJeff Dye1:05

       Yeah, yeah. (laughs) Well, about four years, I think, is when...

   27. JRJoe Rogan1:09

       (laughs)

   28. JDJeff Dye1:09

       No, but I've... That dog, I would open the door, he would just dart. And I was like, "Ah, this dog is unhinged." I let him wolf.

   29. JRJoe Rogan1:13

       You liked it.

   30. JDJeff Dye1:14

       Yeah, I liked it. It was crazy.
2. 15:00 – 30:00

   Yeah. …

   1. JDJeff Dye15:00

   2. JRJoe Rogan15:00

      Yeah.

   3. JDJeff Dye15:00

      Yeah, I've got no governor. Which works good, you know?

   4. JRJoe Rogan15:02

      Yeah.

   5. JDJeff Dye15:02

      It works good for some things.

   6. JRJoe Rogan15:03

      For comedy.

   7. JDJeff Dye15:03

      Like, you know, like I said, when I'm hanging out with a girl, like, I'm best boyfriend ever.

   8. JRJoe Rogan15:07

      Right, right.

   9. JDJeff Dye15:07

      I'm king, you know. But, and then it's gotta be extremely not. (laughs)

   10. JRJoe Rogan15:10

       Right.

   11. JDJeff Dye15:11

       You know, there's kinda these extremes.

   12. JRJoe Rogan15:12

       Yeah, you gotta get to know someone. If you're diving in with someone for 24 hours, 48 hours-

   13. JDJeff Dye15:17

       Yeah.

   14. JRJoe Rogan15:17

       ... and you just met 'em, like the chances of you guys jiving perfectly are not that good.

   15. JDJeff Dye15:22

       It's tough. (laughs)

   16. JRJoe Rogan15:22

       It's like not even 50/50. You get lucky you find the girl of your dreams, and then, hey, we've been together. We, we hung out together for two days in a row, and then, fuck, we were married six months later-

   17. JDJeff Dye15:32

       Yeah.

   18. JRJoe Rogan15:32

       ... and we live happily ever after. That's real.

   19. JDJeff Dye15:35

       For sure.

   20. JRJoe Rogan15:35

       That can hap-... I've met people like that.

   21. JDJeff Dye15:36

       Yeah.

   22. JRJoe Rogan15:36

       It can happen, but generally-

   23. JDJeff Dye15:39

       Right.

   24. JRJoe Rogan15:39

       ... first of all, when you meet someone, you barely meeting them. You're meeting the thing that they put on when they want someone to like them.

   25. JDJeff Dye15:46

       It's performative a little, for sure.

   26. JRJoe Rogan15:48

       I always say to young guys, "Try to become the person you pretend to be when you're trying to get laid."

   27. JDJeff Dye15:54

       Wait, say that again? Try to be...

   28. JRJoe Rogan15:56

       Become the person that you're pretending to be when you're trying to get laid.

   29. JDJeff Dye16:00

       I like that.

   30. JRJoe Rogan16:01

       You just be that person-
3. 30:00 – 45:00

   (laughs) Yeah. …

   1. JRJoe Rogan30:00

      just really mediocre before, like Bruce Jenner. Like, he was the goof of the Kardashian show.

   2. JDJeff Dye30:06

      (laughs) Yeah.

   3. JRJoe Rogan30:06

      First of all, it makes no sense. No one's accomplished shit. This motherfucker was on the cover of Wheaties.

   4. JDJeff Dye30:10

      A star.

   5. JRJoe Rogan30:11

      He was a star.

   6. JDJeff Dye30:12

      Yeah. (laughs)

   7. JRJoe Rogan30:12

      He was a fucking gold medalist-

   8. JDJeff Dye30:14

      Yeah.

   9. JRJoe Rogan30:14

      ... in the decathlon in the goddamn Olympics.

   10. JDJeff Dye30:16

       Yeah. He was a national hero. (laughs)

   11. JRJoe Rogan30:18

       He was a stud.

   12. JDJeff Dye30:20

       (laughs) Yeah.

   13. JRJoe Rogan30:20

       He was a stud.

   14. JDJeff Dye30:20

       Yeah.

   15. JRJoe Rogan30:20

       And meanwhile he's on this show with these influencers.

   16. JDJeff Dye30:23

       (laughs) Mm-hmm.

   17. JRJoe Rogan30:23

       And he's just getting nothing.

   18. JDJeff Dye30:25

       Right.

   19. JRJoe Rogan30:25

       He's just mocked.

   20. JDJeff Dye30:26

       He's like, "I could be a pretty gal." (laughs)

   21. JRJoe Rogan30:28

       Just openly mocked. He becomes a woman, he's Woman of the Year in six months.

   22. JDJeff Dye30:33

       Immediately. (laughs) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

   23. JRJoe Rogan30:34

       In six months he took over the fucking game.

   24. JDJeff Dye30:37

       (clapping) He's a, he's a winner.

   25. JRJoe Rogan30:39

       It's like a Chinese autistic kid coming into your math class-

   26. JDJeff Dye30:42

       Yeah.

   27. JRJoe Rogan30:42

       ... and fucking up the curve.

   28. JDJeff Dye30:43

       How did they get here?

   29. JRJoe Rogan30:44

       Like, "Hey."

   30. JDJeff Dye30:45

       What's going on here? This isn't-
4. 45:00 – 1:00:00

   Right. …

   1. JDJeff Dye45:00

      forces creativity too, 'cause you're like... You know, there's no iPad there. There's no, like-

   2. JRJoe Rogan45:04

      Right.

   3. JDJeff Dye45:04

      ... uh, video. There's no Candy Crush. So you had to be like, "All right, this is our igloo that we're gonna protect." Or, "This is a"-

   4. JRJoe Rogan45:09

      Yeah, I don't know. I wonder if that's good. Everybody wants to, like, look back to the days when everyone was bored and say... And like, romantically, "Yeah, when you make your own fun." Like, huh, I think if I had a video game-

   5. JDJeff Dye45:20

      Yeah.

   6. JRJoe Rogan45:20

      ... it would've been way more fun. (laughs)

   7. JDJeff Dye45:21

      Well, we had both. I had the '90s, so we had both.

   8. JRJoe Rogan45:24

      I didn't.

   9. JDJeff Dye45:24

      Like, when I was a kid, we would play video games all night. But during the day, there was something fun about, uh, wrestling. You know, like-

   10. JRJoe Rogan45:31

       Yeah.

   11. JDJeff Dye45:31

       ... the human part of interact.

   12. JRJoe Rogan45:33

       Oh, yeah, doing stuff.

   13. JDJeff Dye45:33

       So we really were making up things with guns and just-

   14. JRJoe Rogan45:36

       Yeah.

   15. JDJeff Dye45:36

       ... like, shooting each other and yeah.

   16. JRJoe Rogan45:38

       So you had the best of both worlds.

   17. JDJeff Dye45:39

       Yeah, we kinda had both.

   18. JRJoe Rogan45:39

       But that was before online media or online-

   19. JDJeff Dye45:41

       Oh, yes. We weren't-

   20. JRJoe Rogan45:42

       ... like social media.

   21. JDJeff Dye45:42

       ... online playing video games either.

   22. JRJoe Rogan45:43

       Yeah.

   23. JDJeff Dye45:43

       It was just me versus my buddy.

   24. JRJoe Rogan45:45

       I think the social media thing is the craziest part of it. I think kids are just... First of all, they're weirdly connected 'cause they all get on Snapchat, and then they have a Snap Map.

   25. JDJeff Dye45:54

       Mm-hmm.

   26. JRJoe Rogan45:54

       So they know where all their friends are at any given time.

   27. JDJeff Dye45:57

       Yeah.

   28. JRJoe Rogan45:58

       And, and then so that they're, they're constantly like paying attention to that and h-

   29. JDJeff Dye46:01

       Yeah.

   30. JRJoe Rogan46:01

       ... and finding each other, and they go in groups and they go to this party and, "Oh, the, they're at this party. Let's go to that party."
5. 1:00:00 – 1:00:31

   To just say white…

   1. JDJeff Dye1:00:00

   2. JRJoe Rogan1:00:00

      To just say white men, like, "Oh, God."

   3. JDJeff Dye1:00:01

      "Oh, you must be rich 'cause you're white." You're like do you know how many poor white people there are?

   4. JRJoe Rogan1:00:05

      Go to Kentucky.

   5. JDJeff Dye1:00:06

      Most of them are poor.

   6. JRJoe Rogan1:00:07

      Okay. Yeah, go to where the fucking coal mines are.

   7. JDJeff Dye1:00:10

      Right.

   8. JRJoe Rogan1:00:11

      Those coal mining communities where people have just been popping pills-

   9. JDJeff Dye1:00:13

      Yeah.

   10. JRJoe Rogan1:00:14

       ... since the '80s.

   11. JDJeff Dye1:00:15

       Meth?

   12. JRJoe Rogan1:00:15

       Yeah.

   13. JDJeff Dye1:00:16

       You never heard of white trash?

   14. JRJoe Rogan1:00:17

       You ever see-

   15. JDJeff Dye1:00:17

       Like we dominate the poor community.

   16. JRJoe Rogan1:00:18

       Have you ever seen The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia?

   17. JDJeff Dye1:00:21

       Yeah, dude. Jessco White.

   18. JRJoe Rogan1:00:22

       Fucking amazing.

   19. JDJeff Dye1:00:23

       Those dancing skills.

   20. JRJoe Rogan1:00:25

       Didn't Johnny Knoxville produce that?

   21. JDJeff Dye1:00:27

       I, that's how I saw it, was the-

   22. JRJoe Rogan1:00:28

       Yeah.

   23. JDJeff Dye1:00:28

       I don't know if it was Johnny Knoxville, but uh, Jackhole Productions or whatever it was.
