Operators, surveillance, and “untraceable” killing methods
- NANarrator
(drumming) Joe Rogan podcast, check it out.
- NANarrator
The Joe Rogan Experience.
- NANarrator
Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day. (rock music)
- JRJoe Rogan
All right, here we go. We're rolling. So you were- you were saying that someone was telling you how to kill someone with coffee?
- RARoger Avary
Okay, so I got to know all these, uh, you were talking about, uh, some-
- JRJoe Rogan
His name's John McFee.
- RARoger Avary
... yeah, some operators.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- RARoger Avary
And, uh, I got to know through a friend, through a billionaire friend who, uh, loaned his plane to the, to Clinton to fly those people out of, uh, I think North Korea. And so from that point on, he was surrounded by these guys. And, uh, one of 'em, uh, this guy Mikey, uh, which isn't his real name. Um, I think he's actually named, they name 'em all after the archangels. So he was, like, Michael, another guy Gabriel.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, Jesus.
- RARoger Avary
And like-
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- RARoger Avary
... they take on these-
- NANarrator
(laughs)
- RARoger Avary
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
There's nothing creeper than an assassin with Biblical names.
- NANarrator
Named after an archangel.
- RARoger Avary
Yeah. And well, you know. And so, um, he, uh, um, you know, we got to know each other because of our mutual friend, and, uh, I think what happened was, uh, um, he and a couple of the other guys, you know, they were placed on me as, like, for surveillance purposes, like, you know, find out what this Avery guy is about maybe.
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.
- RARoger Avary
Or just keep an eye on him or whatever. And they told me right up front, like, "Be nice to your surveillance." You know, like, "Don't try to lose us or anything like that."
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.
- RARoger Avary
'Cause, uh, you know, I heard stories about how, you know, they're surveilling somebody in wherever, Bolivia, and suddenly some gang attacks their surveillance and they step in, kick the shit out of the gang. And so, um, so I got to know these guys, and naturally, you know, I'm a writer and a filmmaker, and so I of course want to talk to them about stuff, and they immediately started volunteering, "Oh yeah, we've learned all these different ways when I became an operator," blah, blah, blah. "I learned how to kill people without... And I was just making a list now of the 10 ways to kill someone without leaving a trace." And I was like, "Well," just like when I told Quentin about this, he's like, "Well, what are those?"
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- NANarrator
(laughs)
- RARoger Avary
"I'd like to hear those." Everybody wants to hear those. And so one of the ones that I think is the best one is, uh, you inject someone with coffee, caffeine, like, uh, just inject coffee into their bloodstream, gives them a heart attack, and it's untraceable. Later on, they do an autopsy and they just discover caffeine in your system.
- JRJoe Rogan
That's it?
- RARoger Avary
That's it. It's-
- JRJoe Rogan
Just right into the blood, coffee can kill you?
- RARoger Avary
Sometimes the simple ways are the best.
- JRJoe Rogan
Like, uh, like, uh, yeah, so just right into the jugular in a, with a syringe?
- 3:30 – 4:18
Modern crime visibility and the ugliness of insurance incentives
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, Jamie and I were just talking. They think they have a photo of the guy who whacked that insurance CEO.
- NANarrator
Oh, yeah, yeah, uh-huh.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, they think they have a photo of his face now.
- NANarrator
Oh, they do, huh?
- RARoger Avary
Well, I would think with the amount of cameras-
- NANarrator
From around the time or they, or they picked it up later?
- JRJoe Rogan
I think, you know, there's cameras everywhere now.
- NANarrator
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
And that's part of the problem with someone... And I don't think this guy was a professional. I think this guy, if I had to guess, some guy who got fucked over. Apparently that company is really bad on denying claims.
- RARoger Avary
30, 34% denial rate, something like that.
- JRJoe Rogan
And normal is like 16.
- RARoger Avary
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. So those guys-
- RARoger Avary
I don't think anybody's gonna, like, be crying too hard over that guy. (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, maybe his family, but that's about it.
- RARoger Avary
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
It's a dirty, dirty business. The business of insurance is fucking gross. It's gross. And especially healthcare insurance, just-
- RARoger Avary
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
... fucking gross.
- 4:18 – 10:27
California wildfires, uninsurable homes, and living on the edge
- RARoger Avary
Well, actually all insurance. I live in California and, uh, all of a sudden, because I live adjacent to any kind of open space, like, nobody will insure my house because of fire.
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.
- RARoger Avary
And so suddenly it's like I have a house that's uninsurable and it, it's not just me, it's everybody.
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm-hmm.
- RARoger Avary
And so it's chaos.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, yeah.
- RARoger Avary
It's chaos.
- JRJoe Rogan
I have a friend that's trying to sell a house in California and they, it turned out it was $125,000 a year just to get fire insurance.
- RARoger Avary
Yeah.
- NANarrator
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Like what?
- RARoger Avary
Yeah, it's insane.
- JRJoe Rogan
It's fucking nuts.
- RARoger Avary
It's insane.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, but you know, I was evacuated three times when I lived there. I used to live in Bell Canyon and-
- RARoger Avary
Mm-hmm, yeah, yeah, uh-huh.
- JRJoe Rogan
... you know, it was fucking, it was rough.
- NANarrator
I've, like, I've been, like, I've been really lucky. I live in, I'm almost afraid to say it, all right, 'cause I've been living in the, the Hollywood Hills and I've never, any of the fire stuff happens, never happened around my house.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, it is just luck, yeah.
- RARoger Avary
I mean, the benefit of your place is you're at least in a helicopter accessible-
- NANarrator
Well, that is-
- RARoger Avary
... they're just gonna dump all that fire retardant right on top of you.
- NANarrator
I literally am kind of, uh, at the top of the hill on a bunch of rock, all right.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- NANarrator
So if the whole-
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, that's nice.
- NANarrator
... fucking place just turns into an inferno, I'm still fucked, all right, you know.
- RARoger Avary
And I think that place has probably been there a while.
- NANarrator
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- RARoger Avary
It's probably withstood all sorts of calamity.
- 10:27 – 15:08
Firefighters, privilege, and the ‘blasé’ mindset around danger
- RARoger Avary
I- I'm always the, I don't want to say the stupid guy, but I'm the guy who, for some reason, always decides I'm gonna stay.
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- RARoger Avary
And like I'm gonna ... And you know ...
- NANarrator
Oh, you're that old guy. All right. (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- RARoger Avary
I live near a fire department. There's a fire hydrant across from my driveway.
- NANarrator
You're the guy on the roof with the flood is happening.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- RARoger Avary
Yeah.
- NANarrator
"Get off my property."
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- RARoger Avary
Yeah, that's me. Like my family went away and I was like, "Well, they're gonna close it out so we can't get back in. Ah, I'm just gonna hang out here until I know that it's ..." And you know, at a certain point there was fire like cresting the- the ridge, and I'm kind of watching it and I ran down to the fire department to see, you know, like, "Hey guys, it's- it's coming! It's r- I can see it from my house!" And they're all there like hanging out and eating sandwiches and like not even worried about it at all. They were like, they kind of looked over at it and said, "Nah, it's- it's okay."
- NANarrator
(laughs)
- RARoger Avary
"It'll be fine. It'll just burn a little."
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, they get a little too blase blase about fire. (laughs)
- RARoger Avary
They're pretty blase.
- NANarrator
(laughs)
- RARoger Avary
They- my- by the way, my spec ops friend, uh, he's like, "Oh fuck those firemen, man. Fuck them! They get so much like credit for like nothing! They barely do anything. They're on these incredible pension plans. Like ah, ah, ah." He like hates firemen.
- JRJoe Rogan
That's ridiculous.
- RARoger Avary
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, that's a- well, it is a great job. But you can't get mad at someone for having a great job.
- RARoger Avary
For having a great job.
- NANarrator
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
There's a buddy of mine that I used to play pool with, Chris Col...
- RARoger Avary
Well, he has to actually hump it into another country and kill somebody, so ... (laughs) Like it's ... He's got a real tough job.
- NANarrator
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
That's- well, the- the thing is he's not- he's not getting enough credit.
- NANarrator
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
That's what it is.
- RARoger Avary
Yeah. Exactly. That's the-
- 15:08 – 24:40
Video Archives origin story: meeting at a video store and the death of rental retail
- JRJoe Rogan
Did you guys work together?
- NANarrator
Yeah.
- RARoger Avary
Yeah, yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
No shit.
- RARoger Avary
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
That's how you guys met?
- NANarrator
Yeah, uh-huh.
- RARoger Avary
That's how we met.
- JRJoe Rogan
Wow!
- RARoger Avary
Video Archives in Manhattan Beach, California.
- JRJoe Rogan
How fucking cool is that story?
- NANarrator
Yeah, that's from like, uh, '84, yeah.
- RARoger Avary
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Wow!
- NANarrator
'84 for about five years.
- RARoger Avary
Yeah. Maybe even a little bit before '84.
- NANarrator
Well, I started officially in '84 because I'm a member-
- RARoger Avary
But you were a customer before then.
- NANarrator
Well, I was a customer for-
- RARoger Avary
Yeah.
- NANarrator
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Wow.
- NANarrator
I was a customer before, yeah.
- RARoger Avary
I, I predated Quinton as, uh, one of the employees, so I was there at-
- JRJoe Rogan
Look at you guys.
- NANarrator
There we are.
- RARoger Avary
Yeah, yeah, actually, yeah, that's, that's us.
- JRJoe Rogan
That's crazy.
- NANarrator
Uh, very unfortunate shirt on my part. (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- 24:40 – 28:27
From movie obsession to making movies: the indie window opens
- QTQuentin Tarantino
So at what point in time while this is all going on do you guys decide, "We need to make our own fucking movies"?
- RARoger Avary
Well, it was always the case.
- NANarrator
Well, we were always thinking-
- RARoger Avary
Really.
- NANarrator
... well, well, well Roger and, and, uh, Roger had another friend that, it, it was a guy that connected me and Roger together. It was a guy named Scott who, who, uh, took his own life at a certain point really young.
- RARoger Avary
His father owned another video store that I worked at as well, and that Quentin used to come into.
- NANarrator
But the thing is though, that while I was just thinking about making movies, Roger and Scott were like, making movies on Super 8. (laughs)
- RARoger Avary
Yeah.
- NANarrator
And they were making little horror films and little zombie movies on, on, on, on Super 8. And then like-
- RARoger Avary
Supernatural thrillers. (laughs)
- NANarrator
And they're sh- and they're, well, Word Turns is a zombie movie.
- RARoger Avary
Yeah. Well, yeah.
- NANarrator
(laughs)
- RARoger Avary
What's it... Yeah, it's kind of an... Yeah, it's kind of a zombie movie. Eh, more of an afterlife film.
- NANarrator
Okay, maybe. Okay.
- RARoger Avary
(laughs)
- NANarrator
And, but, uh, uh, but you're making like legit horror films.
- RARoger Avary
Yeah.
- NANarrator
I'm just thinking about this stuff and these guys are like Sam Raimi-ing it, you know?
- RARoger Avary
Mm.
- NANarrator
Like Sam Raimi. They're making their, their shit in their backyard and they're working on it for like three months and stuff.
- RARoger Avary
Yeah, and um, you know, like I, I was friends with all the punk guys 'cause it was like LA punk. And, um, so they were always in my movies.
- NANarrator
Skater punks. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- RARoger Avary
All the, all the punks were in my movies 'cause they were media literate.
- NANarrator
Mm-hmm.
- RARoger Avary
They loved movies, and so they were easy to pull in and, uh, and to be in the films, so they were always playing like, you know, the gang of punks who beat somebody up or something. (laughs)
- NANarrator
Mm-hmm.
- QTQuentin Tarantino
So it must've been cool working at a video store, though, because it's essentially like you have... It's like an education.
- RARoger Avary
Well, when the time came where we actually wanted to be making movies, where we were talking about making movies, 'cause I can remember when, I think it was, it was around the time of Sex, Lies, and Videotape, or maybe-
- NANarrator
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 28:27 – 39:46
Making ‘Killing Zoe’: writing fast, Paris chaos, and directing under constraints
- RARoger Avary
first film, uh, Killing Zoe, um, you know, it was like I knew it was gonna be a bank robbery because I wrote it around a location. You know, we, we found this while they were scouting for, uh, Reservoir Dogs, Lawrence Bender.
- NANarrator
Uh-huh.
- RARoger Avary
Uh, I, or maybe you also had scouted that location.
- NANarrator
Yeah, yeah.
- RARoger Avary
Found this bank location. And Lawrence called me up and he's like, "Hey, I'm calling all the writers I know. I found this bank location and if you can, if you have a script that takes place in a bank-"
- NANarrator
Mm-hmm.
- RARoger Avary
"... we can kick together a couple hundred thousand dollars and make a movie there. It's like this complete, solid, amazing location." And I said, "Oh my god. Lawrence, this is your lucky day. I, I happen to have a script that takes place in a bank." And then I just quickly wrote one. (laughs)
- NANarrator
(laughs)
- RARoger Avary
Like, based on the location. And as I was writing it, I was thinking, "Okay, um, you know, I know that it's gonna be a bank robbery. It's a bank, and so I know it's gonna be a bank robbery and that's my solid, bankable genre that I'm going to, uh, to stick with." But I knew I wanted to do something more with it, and I had just traveled through Europe and, uh, and I'd been telling Quentin the stories, uh, of traveling through Europe. He's like, "Oh, you should do a movie called Roger Takes a Trip." And, uh-
- NANarrator
I still think it should've been called that. (laughs)
- RARoger Avary
Well, I think it's a different movie.
- NANarrator
Yeah. (laughs)
- RARoger Avary
I think it's a different... I don't think it's a-
- NANarrator
No, you kinda made Roger Takes a Trip.
- RARoger Avary
(laughs)
- NANarrator
Just added bank robbers in it.
- RARoger Avary
I had been-
- NANarrator
But it's still Roger Takes a Trip.
- QTQuentin Tarantino
(laughs)
- RARoger Avary
I had been in Paris, I had bumped into a guy that I knew from Los Angeles who was a French guy, and he was like, "Oh, I show you the real Paris." And I went out with he and his friends, Enric, Jeanne, Claude, all the characters from the movie. I went out with him and his friends and we, uh, you know, he drove me through Paris and next thing I know, he's doing heroin and I'm like... And, and it started-
- QTQuentin Tarantino
With you?
- RARoger Avary
No, not with me. I, I, uh-
- NANarrator
And now we do heroin.
- QTQuentin Tarantino
(laughs)
- RARoger Avary
Yeah, he was like, "Now we do heroin. Hold my arm." I did hold his arm. And like I had never-
- QTQuentin Tarantino
For real?
- RARoger Avary
Yeah, yeah.
- QTQuentin Tarantino
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
- NANarrator
(laughs)
- RARoger Avary
I had never seen anything like that.
- 39:46 – 50:33
Quentin’s wake-up call: comfort as a sedative and the decision to move to Hollywood
- NANarrator
Where you were asking earlier on about, uh, well, w- w- y- you're working at a video store. Did you ever think, you know, when did you start thinking about making your own stuff? Well, I was thinking about making my own stuff for like a long, long, long time, but these guys were actually doing it. Um, but there is a truth. While I thought about it f- like, for a long, long time, and, and always figured I would do that eventually, I did fall asleep for a few years. You know? It wa- uh, uh, because, uh, working at that store, I just got caught up in the little life there. And it was, you know, i- it's interesting, because, um, you know, you spent your 20s going to comedy clubs and, you know, building, building a career. So I'm spending my 20s there, and well, it's one of those things where it's like, "Well, this isn't my dream." (laughs)
- QTQuentin Tarantino
(laughs)
- NANarrator
"This isn't what I wanted to do, working at a video store for years. Uh, I wanted to actually make movies. It's not my dream, what I'm doing, but it's dream-adjacent. It's, it's close to my dream. It's close to my dream. I get to watch movies all fucking day."
- QTQuentin Tarantino
(laughs)
- NANarrator
"I get to talk about movies all fucking day. I don't have to work, uh, at a pizza parlor. I don't have to... I'm not delivering pizzas. I'm not, I'm not a, I'm not busting ass, uh, as a bartender. I'm not busting ass doing menial jobs." I mean, this is the kinda job I, uh, uh, uh, that, you know, I, I'd do if I... I'd, I'd go to this store if I wasn't paid to go to this store.
- QTQuentin Tarantino
Mm.
- NANarrator
You know, so it's like, you know, but, but for a couple years, it did put me to sleep. It did kind of put me to sleep. It, it, it put my ambitions to sleep-
- QTQuentin Tarantino
Mm.
- NANarrator
... for a little bit, because I was happy enough.
- QTQuentin Tarantino
Yeah.
- NANarrator
I was happy, uh, and just thought that one of these days, I'll...
- RARoger Avary
Right, but you didn't have the fire.
- NANarrator
I didn't have the fire. And when I got the fire, when I eventually got the fire back again, and it was a life-changing thing. It was a life-changing day. It was, um, we had a buddy of ours named Steve-O.
- RARoger Avary
Yeah.
- NANarrator
And I, he was one, uh, he, uh, uh, um, we had different living arrangements, and at one point in time, me and Steve-O were living in the same house together, renting a, a, a, in the back of the, towards the back of the store.
- RARoger Avary
The dude house.
- NANarrator
Yeah. (laughs) It was where everyone would hang out. And, um, but now, Steve-O was older than the rest of us, so if like, he was about like, almost five years older than us, but he, he didn't seem like it. He was a young guy, like-
- RARoger Avary
Yeah, like five years younger mentally. (laughs)
- NANarrator
(laughs)
- QTQuentin Tarantino
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.
- RARoger Avary
Or emotionally.
- NANarrator
Yeah, yeah. And, um, but... So he hits 30, and he starts changing.
- RARoger Avary
Yeah.
- NANarrator
He starts changing, like drastically. He's at, I mean, he was like, the f- one of the funniest guys I ever knew.
- RARoger Avary
Yeah.
- NANarrator
And he was this really, really funny stoner dude, and really cool. And all of a sudden, he's like angry about things. And now he's not quite as funny, and now he's got this issue. And so we're, we're roommates, and there's this one night that he's kind of like all, he's kind of disgusted with his life, and he starts ranting. And he, and, and he's describing a situation that was very common if you were a kid growing up without a, you know, without a degree or anything in, in the '80s, especially in California, where it's like you can't get any really good jobs, but like, you can work at l- uh, Licorice Pizza.And if you're an okay employee, you could, like, work at Licorice Pizza for a couple of years and maybe you could even become assistant manager or a manager and maybe they send you to another store and- and maybe you work there for three years and that's really great. But then, you know, all of a sudden, uh, a district manager doesn't like you, you run afoul of somebody, uh, higher up in corporate and all of a sudden, next thing you know, you're fired and you're out on the street.
- NANarrator
Again, it's management.
- NANarrator
Yeah.
- NANarrator
Yeah.
- NANarrator
Okay. And so now you've just spent three years at Licorice Pizza. Now- now you could get a job at TRW or some other place that's like a real job job or, uh, well those are kind of hard to get, but you can work at Warehouse Records and Tapes tomorrow 'cause you just had three years at Licorice Pizza.
- 50:33 – 1:02:00
Comedy parallels: building talent hubs, earning stage time, and the 10-year rule
- JRJoe Rogan
This is exactly what we-
- NANarrator
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
... tried to do when we built the mothership here.
- NANarrator
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
What we've done. We decided when we left LA, like, we need a place where comics have a hub. And when we were all in Austin, we all-
- NANarrator
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
... just moved to Austin because of the pandemic.
- NANarrator
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
And all of a sudden, we were allowed to perform indoors.
- NANarrator
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
It was crazy. In November of 2020, we were doing shows indoors. And you know, you couldn't go on Twitter because they would call you a b- super spreader or-
- NANarrator
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
... a, a fucking monster. But everybody started moving here, and by the, you know, by the time 2020 rolls around, there's like 15, 16 world-class comedians-
- NANarrator
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
... that didn't used to live in Austin that are here now. And we were like, "Let's, let's build a club."
- NANarrator
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
So we bought the Ritz Theatre, uh, where-
- NANarrator
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
... uh, you know, some of your movies have played. (laughs)
- NANarrator
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
It's fucking crazy. And when we put it together, the, the whole idea was like have a place where people can come. We have two nights of open mic nights-
- NANarrator
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
... Monday and T- or, uh, Sunday and Monday night. So there's always a chance to get on stage.
- NANarrator
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
There's always a guy. There's a real t- talen- Igen, is a r- Adam Igen is a real talent coordinator. He's really gonna watch you, he's really gonna give you advice. And you're around the best comics in the world all the time.
- NANarrator
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
And everybody knows it's possible. And everybody treats you the way you would want to be treated if you were starting. So you're just one of us, you just started, but you're not, we're not better than you. We're not, we're not, there's nothing special about us.
- NANarrator
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
We're just telling you. We, we started walking and now we're 15 miles in. You're 15 feet in. Just keep walking.
- NANarrator
Yeah.
- 1:02:00 – 1:14:07
Fame, executives, and keeping your edge: strongest point of view wins
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm, yeah. Yeah, the, the fame thing is no one can teach you how to do that.
- RARoger Avary
Mm-hmm.
- JRJoe Rogan
There, there's someone... There needs to be, like, a group of people to get together with people that are about to get famous and say-
- NANarrator
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
... "Hey, listen."
- RARoger Avary
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
"We're famous already. Let me tell you how fucking weird this is."
- NANarrator
(laughs)
- RARoger Avary
"And I don't know if you're prepared for this." When we were first trying to make True Romance, uh, you know, Quentin had this amazing screenplay, and it was like, uh, we were gonna try to do it Coen brothers style.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, yeah.
- RARoger Avary
We had just seen Blood Simple and we were like, "Okay, I'm gonna produce, Quentin's gonna direct, we're gonna go out and make this." Our first thought was, "Okay, we've got this database of doctors and lawyers-"
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- NANarrator
(laughs)
- RARoger Avary
"... and housewives in Manhattan Beach. We're gonna go to the video store." You know, we ended up not doing that.
- NANarrator
Wow.
- JRJoe Rogan
You gonna ask them for money?
- RARoger Avary
But that was... Well, we never-
- NANarrator
We were gonna go...
- RARoger Avary
We never had the balls to actually ask, ask anybody for money.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah. (laughs)
- NANarrator
(laughs)
- RARoger Avary
Yeah, it was...
- NANarrator
We talked about them.
