   4. JRJoe Rogan0:13

      Yeah.

   5. SSScott Storch0:13

      ... I probably most iconic, um-

   6. JRJoe Rogan0:16

      So what do you ... What are the ... We're rolling now, so tell me what, what's, like, the most iconic beats you've created in your opinion?

   7. SSScott Storch0:21

      Oh, we're already rolling?

   8. JRJoe Rogan0:22

      We're rolling. Fuck it.

   9. SSScott Storch0:23

      Hey, fuck it. We're doing it.

   10. JRJoe Rogan0:24

       Hey.

   11. SSScott Storch0:24

       How you doing?

   12. JRJoe Rogan0:25

       Hey.

   13. SSScott Storch0:25

       I mean, look. I've got not hundreds, but thousands of songs. I've created.

   14. JRJoe Rogan0:31

       Thousands.

   15. SSScott Storch0:31

       Thousands.

   16. JRJoe Rogan0:31

       For sure.

   17. SSScott Storch0:32

       Thousands of songs. Um, I'm told most often that most iconic or identifiable one is obviously Still Dre. We got ...

   18. JRJoe Rogan0:47

       Give me a little of that real quick.

   19. SSScott Storch0:49

       Let's see. (piano music) Now, if you watch my fingers while I'm playing that, if I was just, like, a fucking sterile, like, just basic motherfucker, I'd be playing. (piano music) But I wanted to do it like ... (piano music) sloppy.

   20. JRJoe Rogan1:21

       Right.

   21. SSScott Storch1:21

       Like that perfect imperfection.

   22. JRJoe Rogan1:23

       Right.

   23. SSScott Storch1:23

       Like, you want ... Sometimes you want a nice sloppy booty or a nice fucking ...

   24. JRJoe Rogan1:27

       (laughs)

   25. SSScott Storch1:27

       You know what I'm saying? You don't want things always, like, perfect. Picture perfect.

   26. JRJoe Rogan1:30

       Right. You like a little grit on your-

   27. SSScott Storch1:32

       I do.

   28. JRJoe Rogan1:32

       ... hardwood floor.

   29. SSScott Storch1:34

       Yeah. (laughs)

   30. JRJoe Rogan1:35

       Yeah. Yeah. No. I-
2. 15:00 – 30:00

   Mm-hmm. …

   1. SSScott Storch15:00

      in your water.

   2. JRJoe Rogan15:00

      Mm-hmm.

   3. SSScott Storch15:01

      And it's like an accelerator of the hydration.

   4. JRJoe Rogan15:02

      Like liquid IV or something like that?

   5. SSScott Storch15:04

      Something, yeah.

   6. JRJoe Rogan15:04

      Yeah.

   7. SSScott Storch15:04

      I don't even know.

   8. JRJoe Rogan15:05

      There's a bunch of those that are really good.

   9. SSScott Storch15:07

      Yeah.

   10. JRJoe Rogan15:07

       But yeah, that's, you know, you could, you could take care of that. Like obviously your fingers are still working, but if you're starting to st- feel, like real discomfort, there's some things you could do.

   11. SSScott Storch15:16

       Yeah.

   12. JRJoe Rogan15:16

       CBD's a big one.

   13. SSScott Storch15:17

       Yeah.

   14. JRJoe Rogan15:17

       CBD helps so much. My friend Dave Foley, uh, he, uh, had arthritis to the point where his hands were like totally crooked and couldn't straighten his hands out.

   15. SSScott Storch15:24

       Yeah.

   16. JRJoe Rogan15:25

       He started taking CBD and it all went away.

   17. SSScott Storch15:27

       That's crazy.

   18. JRJoe Rogan15:27

       Yeah.

   19. SSScott Storch15:28

       The benefits of ... I just can't-

   20. JRJoe Rogan15:29

       And it's incredible. It really is incredible.

   21. SSScott Storch15:31

       Yeah.

   22. JRJoe Rogan15:32

       But the diet is a big one too, so.

   23. SSScott Storch15:33

       I think I'm getting my fair share of, uh, CBD and THC.

   24. JRJoe Rogan15:37

       From the weed.

   25. SSScott Storch15:38

       From, uh, not just that, not from the flower, but I, I like edibles.

   26. JRJoe Rogan15:42

       (clears throat) Yeah.

   27. SSScott Storch15:42

       But not like distillate.

   28. JRJoe Rogan15:44

       I know what you mean.

   29. SSScott Storch15:45

       I'm, I'm into rosin edibles.

   30. JRJoe Rogan15:48

       You, the, the difference is is CBD you can isolate just the CBD.
3. 30:00 – 45:00

   Really? …

   1. SSScott Storch30:00

      insane, man. Like, and those toys, like I was really tapping in.

   2. JRJoe Rogan30:04

      Really?

   3. SSScott Storch30:04

      Yeah, yeah. It was so much fun, but I-

   4. JRJoe Rogan30:07

      I just love those two guys. They're just... And they're so fucking talented, man. We saw them out here at Stubs.

   5. SSScott Storch30:13

      Yeah.

   6. JRJoe Rogan30:14

      Fuck, it was so fun, man.

   7. SSScott Storch30:16

      Yeah, man. And something about Nashville is a great place to make music, man.

   8. JRJoe Rogan30:19

      That... Well, think about how much great music has come out of there-

   9. SSScott Storch30:23

      Mm-hmm.

   10. JRJoe Rogan30:23

       ... and then the memory of that shit is burned into the city.

   11. SSScott Storch30:25

       Yeah.

   12. JRJoe Rogan30:25

       I- I believe in that. I believe that places have memory.

   13. SSScott Storch30:28

       Mm-hmm.

   14. JRJoe Rogan30:29

       You know, I really do.

   15. SSScott Storch30:30

       Yeah, you feel it. You, uh-

   16. JRJoe Rogan30:32

       I think there's a, there's an element-... I mean, it's not everything about a place, but I think places have memory, you know?

   17. SSScott Storch30:39

       Mm-hmm.

   18. JRJoe Rogan30:39

       I, I think that a place like Nashville, I mean ... And also, it's small enough, 'cause it's, 'cause it's kind of a tight community. Everybody kinda knows everybody.

   19. SSScott Storch30:47

       Mm-hmm.

   20. JRJoe Rogan30:48

       There's so many musicians there.

   21. SSScott Storch30:49

       It's a music town.

   22. JRJoe Rogan30:49

       Kid Rock's there. Black Keys are there.

   23. SSScott Storch30:51

       I was just with him.

   24. JRJoe Rogan30:52

       Yeah, Kid Rock ... (laughs)

   25. SSScott Storch30:53

       (laughs) He told me he was ... He went, he ...

   26. JRJoe Rogan30:55

       Yeah, I ran into him at the UFC. Kid Rock's ... My favorite fucking thing of all time was going to his giant tract of land in Nashville, and seeing his fucking White House (laughs) .

   27. SSScott Storch31:05

       I ... Yeah, like, with the rotating dining room and the fucking crazy son of a gun pool-

   28. JRJoe Rogan31:10

       He's, he's out of his mind.

   29. SSScott Storch31:11

       He did well, man.

   30. JRJoe Rogan31:12

       Yeah.
4. 45:00 – 1:00:00

   Mm-hmm. …

   1. JRJoe Rogan45:00

      all the time, like, you build resolve. You're out there freezing. Your hands are numb.

   2. SSScott Storch45:04

      Mm-hmm.

   3. JRJoe Rogan45:04

      You know, we'd play outside in the snow. Your fucking hands would go. Now you come in, you can't feel your feet.

   4. SSScott Storch45:09

      Makes you stronger.

   5. JRJoe Rogan45:10

      It makes you stronger. Scraping the ice off your windshield before you go to work. (imitates ice scraping)

   6. SSScott Storch45:14

      Yeah, salting the fucking, uh, the walk.

   7. JRJoe Rogan45:17

      (laughs) I feel bad for people that don't grow up in those environments, 'cause I really think it gives you a little extra edge.

   8. SSScott Storch45:22

      Yeah, and those changing of seasons is amazing.

   9. JRJoe Rogan45:24

      Yeah.

   10. SSScott Storch45:24

       It's different feelings, different moods, and...

   11. JRJoe Rogan45:26

       All my favorite comedians, for the most... Well, that's not true. I was gonna say that, but then Kenison, he was from Texas.

   12. SSScott Storch45:31

       Sam.

   13. JRJoe Rogan45:32

       Yeah. But that was different. That dude was, that's a different thing.

   14. SSScott Storch45:36

       I, I always think about back to school when I think (laughs) about Sam Kenison.

   15. JRJoe Rogan45:39

       (laughs)

   16. SSScott Storch45:39

       I don't know why, but my mind just goes right there.

   17. JRJoe Rogan45:41

       Was he right? (laughs)

   18. SSScott Storch45:41

       Was he right? I was there. (laughs)

   19. JRJoe Rogan45:45

       (laughs)

   20. SSScott Storch45:46

       Uh, that dude's awesome.

   21. JRJoe Rogan45:48

       Yeah, he was awesome. But-

   22. SSScott Storch45:48

       I have an appreciation for film. I have an appreciation for comedians, like, I, like, I really like... I grew up, like, dude, I was buying like Richard Pryor albums as a kid and Eddie Murphy albums. And, you know, I spent a lot of time, so I became good friends with Mike Epps. I became... A lot of comedians. Comedians are tortured souls, you guys. Like, uh, I think a lot of, like, that whole comedy/tragedy thing is, like, very serious.

   23. JRJoe Rogan46:11

       Well, there's something to that.

   24. SSScott Storch46:12

       For many, for many.

   25. JRJoe Rogan46:13

       Yeah, there's something to that. But it's, um... You just gotta figure out how to balance it, like we were talking about before. For me, uh, I balance it out with exercise.

   26. SSScott Storch46:23

       Yeah.

   27. JRJoe Rogan46:23

       Uh, exercise and saunas and cold plunges and yoga and shit like that. That's how I balance it out.

   28. SSScott Storch46:29

       Yeah.

   29. JRJoe Rogan46:29

       That's how I keep my mind straight.

   30. SSScott Storch46:30

       Yeah.
5. 1:00:00 – 1:11:44

   (laughs) …

   1. SSScott Storch1:00:00

   2. JRJoe Rogan1:00:00

      (laughs)

   3. SSScott Storch1:00:00

      You know what I mean? But I remem- I've had some fucking funny moments, though. Like, I remember having a party, it was like a Super Bowl party, I had like 700 or 800 people at my house, and now, like, everybody's, like, fizzling out. It's now like 9:00 in the morning, 10:00 in the morning. I think Snoop was there, Mike Epps was there, different people were hanging out, lingering, chilling, like family people. Now- now it's, like, friends and shit. And, like, there's a knock on my door at, like, 10:00 AM, and it's Pamela Anderson. And that shit was the funniest shit. In my house, living with me, at that time, was one of my favorite people, and, um, I knew he was upstairs, like, sleeping or whatever, my good friend DMX, God rest his soul. And, um, Pamela was showing up, and I was like, "Yo, Epps, yo, Epps, check this out." I was all geeked out and like so, uh, thinking it's so funny that I got Pamela coming to my house at 10:00 in the morning.

   4. JRJoe Rogan1:00:59

      (laughs)

   5. SSScott Storch1:00:59

      And he comes over the, the, um, the railing of my house, and he's like, looks over, he's like-... Baywatch." And then he just walked back away. (laughs)

   6. JRJoe Rogan1:01:07

      (laughs)

   7. SSScott Storch1:01:07

      Walked back in the fucking thing, okay? X was like-

   8. JRJoe Rogan1:01:12

      Yeah.

   9. SSScott Storch1:01:12

      X was living with me, man. And like, it was like the blind leading the blind. I'm a coke addict-

   10. JRJoe Rogan1:01:17

       Yeah.

   11. SSScott Storch1:01:17

       ... and he was a crack addict, and I'm like trying to help him. I'm like, "Man, you really need to get clean, man."

   12. JRJoe Rogan1:01:23

       (laughs)

   13. SSScott Storch1:01:23

       Like, like, "What the fuck is real?"

   14. JRJoe Rogan1:01:27

       (laughs)

   15. SSScott Storch1:01:27

       Yeah. So I'm like, "Yo, you need to go to rehab." I'm like... Um, so I, I get him. I convince him, like, to avoid, like, a, a jail sentencing for something, a charge that he had, whatever. He went to rehab and, like, was getting his shit together, the, the place that I had gone that didn't really work (laughs) for me. But I had him there. I really did care about him. I wanted him off that shit. Like, whatever that was, like, a worse evil or a faster suicide than I was even on. And, um, he ran out of the place, and I got a call from him. The place was directly across the street from the Hard Rock in Hollywood, Florida, and he's like, calls me. He's like, "Yo, what's up?" I'm like, "How are you calling me? You don't have phone privileges like that." And this guy-

   16. JRJoe Rogan1:02:08

       (laughs)

   17. SSScott Storch1:02:08

       ... he's like, "I'm across the street from the rehab at the Hard Rock with one of the nurses." He... And like-

   18. JRJoe Rogan1:02:14

       (laughs)

   19. SSScott Storch1:02:14

       I'm like, "Oh, my... Are you fucking kidding me?" I was like, "Yo, X-"

   20. JRJoe Rogan1:02:19

       (laughs)

   21. SSScott Storch1:02:20

       "... cover yourself up. Come back to my house. I'm gonna talk to these people, we'll let you back in." And they wouldn't let him back in. It was a real tough motherfucker that owned this place, and he ended up, 'cause it was court ordered, he had to go away.

   22. JRJoe Rogan1:02:32

       Ah.

   23. SSScott Storch1:02:32

       I'm at the Montreon one morning a couple days later, and my security's like, "Yo, Doug, there's 50 federal agents here." Woo, woo, woo. Like, crazy shit, bro. It was like... I couldn't believe it. I felt horrible.

   24. JRJoe Rogan1:02:46

       Wow.

   25. SSScott Storch1:02:46

       And then you flash forward to not so long ago, I was heavily involved in a rehab center in, um, in California, in Studio City, where we used cannabis for healing. And it came to my attention that he was on his last legs. X was in bad shape. So, um, I was able to make a meeting happen. My, uh, partner, Steve LaBelle. I don't know if you know who Steve LaBelle is, um, managed Bone Thugs-N-Harmony and all these people, like real legend. Um, we were partners on this place. And, uh, we had X come in. He had emphysema. He was one rock away from death, like, you know, that kinda thing.

   26. JRJoe Rogan1:03:32

       Yeah.

   27. SSScott Storch1:03:32

       So we convinced him. We put him on a private plane to Washington to do a detox. He went, he went through the whole detox, and his plan was to leave the detox and come to our facility, inpatient, and do rehab. He never made it back on the plane to head back, and we never saw him again.

   28. JRJoe Rogan1:03:55

       Uh.

   29. SSScott Storch1:03:55

       And like, that was me trying to save a man's life that I really loved, man. He was, like, such a special guy, but like-

   30. JRJoe Rogan1:04:02

       Such a special performer.
