    3. Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day. (rock music)

    4. JR

      Big J.

    5. BO

      ... over here, buddy.

    6. JR

      Rock and roll. What's happening?

    7. BO

      Hell yeah.

    8. JR

      You went with the three nose rings now. You're getting crazy.

    9. BO

      Yeah. It's getting carried away. I went to go... I had a cold, and I think I blew my nose, one of them out.

    10. JR

      (laughs)

    11. BO

      So then I went to go get it re-put back in, and then I was like, "Throw another one in there while you're at it."

    12. JR

      Fuck it.

    13. BO

      Um, just me fighting age, I think.

    14. JR

      Is that what it is?

    15. BO

      Yeah, yeah, yeah.

    16. JR

      There's something weird when you're fighting age. Like, you know you're doing it, but you can't help it. (laughs)

    17. BO

      Oh, yeah. Absolutely. Like, when people make fun of m- just the way I dress or whatever, coloring my hair, my piercings, t- And they're always like, it's like, "Is it gonna change at some point?" And I am hitting an age where I'm like, I can't just do a (laughs) hard shift one day. But it is funny to think, like, I can't see myself at 65-

    18. JR

      With painted nails.

    19. BO

      ... doing some of this stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

    20. JR

      (laughs)

    21. BO

      I don't know.

    22. JR

      Why not? Who gives a shit?

    23. BO

      You can't, but it's also like, I feel if I saw it, I'd have a million and one jokes about it.

    24. JR

      Right.

    25. BO

      But it's still, at the end of the day, you're like... You know, I'd walk out, I'd go, "Oh, I forgot my pocket scarf. I gotta go back upstairs."

    26. JR

      (laughs)

    27. BO

      (laughs) I forgot my Gouachemals.

    28. JR

      As long as you're still funny, you can pull it off. But when you're bombing with red hair and three nose rings-

    29. BO

      Shit. That's true.

    30. JR

      ... it becomes an issue.

  2. 15:0030:00

    (laughs) …

    1. JR

    2. BO

      (laughs)

    3. JR

      So crazy. You could make a movie like that. Uh-

    4. BO

      I think it'd still be that kind of inflammatory. They'd go for it. It's the... Have you m-

    5. JR

      That's-

    6. BO

      I just watched that Adolescence thing, which I thought was a-

    7. JR

      What is Adolescence?

    8. BO

      It's this, uh, new... It's a four-part, like, miniseries on Netflix. It's British. I'm like... I watch things so open-minded and just looking to be entertained that I miss messages a lot. But by the third episode, I realized w-... It's about a little boy gets immediately accused of, uh, that's how it starts, of killing a classmate and he's getting arrested. Each episode is one shot. To me it's like a play and the acting is unbelievable. But the... what it whittles down to, it's apparently like a, uh... from the, the videos I watched beyond, like, this show explained, 'cause I look at all those, and it was like an anti, like, toxic masculinity, like, message.

    9. JR

      Oh.

    10. BO

      And the idea was just, like, the kid's watched porn and his dad's a tough guy, so that's why-

    11. JR

      So he thought about it-

    12. BO

      ... he thought he can kill a woman or why he can kill a girl.

    13. JR

      Wow.

    14. BO

      And they shout out, uh... And, again, this... I don't know a lot of this guy's stuff other than the basic idea, but they shout out Andrew Tate in it. When I heard that name, I was like, "Oh, that's what this is." This is going back there.

    15. JR

      But here's the thing. There is... That could be a real guy. Like, that's less preposterous than the white power group on campus.

    16. BO

      Oh, yeah, yeah, no doubt.

    17. JR

      Like, like, there's kids that get radicalized. They get a, uh, an evil parent who, you know, who fucking-

    18. BO

      But they, they didn't really make it that the dad was evil. They were making it more like the porn and, like, the idea that, like-

    19. JR

      Well, that too.

    20. BO

      ... that mom should be in line and cooking.

    21. JR

      There's these guys who grow up without a mom. Those guys can def-... If they have a shitty dad and no mom, those guys could definitely be s-... And if you have psycho in your DNA.

    22. BO

      I had too much mom. (laughs)

    23. JR

      (laughs) No, you didn't. No, you had the perfect amount to make you.

    24. BO

      (laughs)

    25. JR

    26. BO

      I had a... I had little dad, lots of mom, just tendencies when I... And my step-pop, man, he swooped in and saved my ass from really being as, as twirly as possible without being into cocks.

    27. JR

      (laughs)

    28. BO

      (laughs) I mean, I was right-

    29. JR

      That's hilarious.

    30. BO

      ... there primed for the take and I'm sitting there laying on my tummy as a kid watching Falcon Crest in Dallas with my mom.

  3. 30:0045:00

    I, I think that…

    1. BO

      are you a cop?" He's like, "Shit, man. Yeah."

    2. JR

      I, I think that was like a-

    3. BO

      "You were at my kid's christening."

    4. JR

      (laughs)

    5. BO

      "Ah, I know, man. You never asked. I swore at this point, I thought you were never gonna ask."

    6. JR

      I think that was, like, a dumb thing they made up for TV shows.

    7. BO

      (laughs)

    8. JR

      You know? And then everybody thought it was real.

    9. BO

      Yeah.

    10. JR

      It was, like, some dumb plot point. (laughs)

    11. BO

      "Are you a cop?" "No." "Yeah, you... Of course you could say no."

    12. JR

      Right, because the good guy who was the cop always had to be honest.

    13. BO

      Yeah, ex- which-

    14. JR

      He would never lie. This guy, he, this... He was telling me about w- he had to do cocaine with these people, they had to beat people up. And he's like, "If shit went down, man, I had to be a part of it." I was like-

    15. BO

      The prostitute stings they would do on cops were always, they'd get in the car and they'd be like, "Are you a cop?" And he'd go, "Come on. Do I look like a cop?"

    16. JR

      Bro, this guy got busted wearing a wire and got away with it.

    17. BO

      Really?

    18. JR

      They didn't find the wire.

    19. BO

      No shit.

    20. JR

      They came that close. He said they were inches away. They were rubbing his clothes, like checking all his clothes. He said they were inches away, but he was like arguing with them, "I can't fucking believe you guys," like that kinda shit. And then-

    21. BO

      After I, after I mysteriously showed up three weeks ago-

    22. JR

      (laughs)

    23. BO

      ... and now I'm working my way through the ranks.

    24. JR

      (laughs)

    25. BO

      Now you're gonna start patting me down. All right.

    26. JR

      And I'm helping you run guns and drugs to Mexico.

    27. BO

      You guys, I bought donuts yesterday morning.

    28. JR

      Come on, guys.

    29. BO

      I'm the, I'm that guy.

    30. JR

      I'm that guy.

  4. 45:001:00:00

    Oh, no. …

    1. BO

      walk into the diner next door, and I go, "This might be our chance." I... We just are loosely connected and, you know, maybe I can get him to remember. And we go in there. It's my best interaction with him ever. I, I go up, I go, "Hey, Rob." I go, "Jay Oakerson." I go, "We met through Tom Papa before and blah, blah, blah." And he's like, "Oh, yeah." And he shoots the shit with us for, like, five minutes. And then I go, "Well, anyway, man, I'm really excited for the movie. I hope we get in. You know, we're, like, super far back in line." He goes, "You'll be fine." (laughs) Just so-

    2. JR

      Oh, no.

    3. BO

      And then we... And we did not get in. (laughs)

    4. JR

      (laughs)

    5. BO

      We rode a hot subway home together, staring at Nate.

    6. JR

      Oh, no. "You'll be fine."

    7. BO

      Yeah. He goes-

    8. JR

      Yikes.

    9. BO

      ... "Nah, you'll be fine." (laughs)

    10. JR

      "You'll be fine" as "I'm not gonna help you."

    11. BO

      Yeah, it really was-

    12. JR

      "You'll be fine."

    13. BO

      ... flat out, he goes, "This has been great, but leave me alone now." (laughs)

    14. JR

      The thing about it, though, is, like, does he save tickets? Like, does he have a block of tickets saved? You know what I mean?

    15. BO

      For sure.

    16. JR

      (laughs)

    17. BO

      For sure.

    18. JR

      Not for the guy at the diner, though.

    19. BO

      There's some people you just don't resonate with in the world, I think-

    20. JR

      Well-

    21. BO

      ... at that time. I don't know. Dave Chappelle's another one. Uh, Dave Chappelle, I've met over the last 25 years a dozen times. I did some punch-ups on season one of, uh, Chappelle's Show. He bumped me and Kurt Metzger off a weekend, uh, in the thing, and we... But we were there, and we hung out with him there. And every time I see him still, it's just completely unfamiliar.

    22. JR

      (laughs)

    23. BO

      Chris Rock, same thing. I do not make an impression with these people.

    24. JR

      (laughs) That's so weird.

    25. BO

      I also shut down around celebrity.

    26. JR

      Oh, maybe that's it. Maybe you need to-

    27. BO

      So I don't... I'm not a... I, I can't inject, uh, my personality out of the gates, uh, in a situation where I'm, like, intimidated by, like, someone. I'm like, I'm like... Where I go... Not intimidated, but I go, "Man, I really want them to like me."

    28. JR

      Is... Uh, isn't that weird? Because you know so many famous people.

    29. BO

      But, uh... But you know what I mean by, "Want them to li- not like me," but I go-

    30. JR

      I know.

  5. 1:00:001:06:50

    Sure. …

    1. JR

      kinda celebrating pimps and prostitutes. Like, do you remember Pimps Up, Hoes Down?

    2. BO

      Sure.

    3. JR

      Yeah, I mean, that was, like, a famous documentary.

    4. BO

      Mr. White Folks.

    5. JR

      Mr. White Folks, yeah.

    6. BO

      He was the best. Yeah, I watched all those. Um-

    7. JR

      But they were, like, celebrated. Like, people liked ... And then there was American Pimp. Remember that film?

    8. BO

      Mm-hmm. Yeah.

    9. JR

      Yeah.

    10. BO

      No, it was-

    11. JR

      It's weird.

    12. BO

      ... it wa- Well, that was like the, the small window of like pro-sexuality and go be whores, girls. And then it immediately became Me Too. That's wh-

    13. JR

      But it was weird.

    14. BO

      What happened to me immediately.

    15. JR

      It was weird though because it was the exploiters of those women. It wasn't like it's okay to be a prostitute. It was it's cool to be the man who exploits all these women and gets them to go be prostitutes for him.

    16. BO

      Well, I think it took 20 some years for people to realize that Joe Francis was a terrible guy. You know what I mean?

    17. JR

      (laughs)

    18. BO

      He was celebrated as, as hell. I just heard a Howard Stern clip the other day where he had Joe Francis on. I'm sure if you ask him about-

    19. JR

      Wow.

    20. BO

      ... Joe Francis now, he'd be like, "What a terrible piece of shit."

    21. JR

      Yeah. Y-

    22. BO

      But when Girls Gone Wild was a thing, everyone was just like, "Who cares how it gets done?"

    23. JR

      (laughs) Yeah, that's crazy, right? Like, Girls Gone W- That's how the i- When the internet wasn't around, you could buy tapes of drunk girls at the bar flashing their boobs.

    24. BO

      Yeah.

    25. JR

      And you'd pay for it.

    26. BO

      Yep.

    27. JR

      You'd pay for it.

    28. BO

      Yeah.

    29. JR

      And it had, like, a production value.

    30. BO

      Oh. No, you'd pay, you'd pay for it, and then you were part of a subscription service (laughs) that-
