    (drum roll) Joe Rogan podcast,…

    1. JR

      (drum roll) Joe Rogan podcast, check it out.

    2. NA

      The Joe Rogan Experience.

    3. JR

      (drums) Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day. (rock music) Hello?

    4. TD

      Hey, Tim Dillon.

    5. JR

      How are you?

    6. TD

      I'm much better now that the ladies are back from space. I was worried sick.

    7. JR

      Thank you for having me. What were they up there, 10 minutes?

    8. TD

      Well, it was very profound. I don't know-

    9. JR

      Yeah.

    10. TD

      ... if you've seen Katy Perry talk about it, but she's basically a guru now.

    11. JR

      Yeah. What were her findings? That's my question.

    12. TD

      Well, she brought a daisy-

    13. JR

      What did she learn? Right. (laughs)

    14. TD

      ... which is super important. Shows you how quick the flight was.

    15. JR

      Yeah.

    16. TD

      The dead daisy that's, like, snipped from its life source was still, still alive-

    17. JR

      (laughs)

    18. TD

      ... or still vibrant.

    19. JR

      Yeah. And it's so, it's so-

    20. TD

      Look at her.

    21. JR

      ... this.

    22. TD

      Yeah. << Shut it, Daisy. >>

    23. JR

      Wow.

    24. TD

      Look at her nails, so pretty.

    25. JR

      Now, so they go up there, and they float for, like, 10 minutes?

    26. TD

      Mm, at least.

    27. JR

      And then they come down.

    28. TD

      Let's not minimize this.

    29. JR

      No, I, I know.

    30. TD

      Let's, uh-

  2. 15:0030:00

    That's what I heard.…

    1. JR

    2. TD

      That's what I heard. There's a woke right now.

    3. JR

      Yes, and they're-

    4. TD

      Fascinating.

    5. JR

      ... they're, they're co-opting.

    6. TD

      I still haven't accepted the fact that I've left the left.

    7. JR

      I did a CNN interview for an hour because I'm promoting my special, and then-

    8. TD

      Oh, my God. Did you really?

    9. JR

      ... I... Yeah, and they asked me-

    10. TD

      Who'd you talk to?

    11. JR

      This girl, Elle Reeves.

    12. TD

      Was she cool?

    13. JR

      Elle, she was cool. She does all the... You know when you see the Vice documentaries where she talks to the Nazis and the incels?

    14. TD

      Oh, Jesus, she does that?

    15. JR

      It was that chick.

    16. TD

      Oh, whoa.

    17. JR

      And they sent her in. I-

    18. TD

      Oh, that's a good move for them.

    19. JR

      I was like, "This is hilarious." So I'm sitting there and she sits down, she's like, "Are there any left-wing comedians?" And I name 10 of them that are all in arenas. And she goes, "Oh." 'Cause their whole thing now is that podcasters are the most powerful people in the world. And she goes, "Do you think your friends are the new establishment?" I said, "Well, there's 22 intelligence agencies and it's hard to legace media. There's lots of Ivy League schools. There's this, there's that. Do I think Theo Von's the new establishment? No."

    20. TD

      (laughs)

    21. JR

      "I don't think so. I think, (laughs) I think you ran a really unpopular candidate. I don't think Americans like child sex changes."

    22. TD

      Yeah.

    23. JR

      "And I don't think they want an open border. And I think if you'd, you know, co-opted some of those issues, you might've won." They said to me at CNN, they're like, "We're editing the interview." I said, "Put the hour out." I sat there for an hour and, and we had a nice conversation, but, you know, we talked for one hour. And I was like, "Put it out." I'm like, "I understand if you can't put it out." Uh, and then she goes like this, she goes, um, "I can't believe you'd show up. Um, people have said that they can't come on here because Joe Rogan would get mad at them." I said, "That's absolutely ridiculous."

    24. TD

      Why would I care?

    25. JR

      I said, "He doesn't care. He would never care." I said-

    26. TD

      Oh, that's so silly.

    27. JR

      "It's the silliest thing ever."

    28. TD

      They think we're at war.

    29. JR

      I just said, "Put out the thing. Put out the hour online. If you can only put out a few minutes on, on network, fine. But it's wrong to have someone come in and talk for an hour-"

    30. TD

      Right, and then-

  3. 30:0045:00

    Right. …

    1. TD

      the amount of, uh, bedrooms that were in a place.

    2. JR

      Right.

    3. TD

      Because if it's four bedrooms, you get one tax rate. If it's five, it's more-

    4. JR

      Right.

    5. TD

      So she lied. It was a five, and she said it was a four.

    6. JR

      Right. Well, this is what they all do. So I think, really, the funny thing about all the cases that they brought against Trump, a lot of those cases were rooted in a, uh, just politicized version of something that's pretty standard that a lot of people have done.

    7. TD

      Yeah, they always overvalue their properties.

    8. JR

      Always overvalue properties, and people get away with it. And it's not, uh, you know-

    9. TD

      It's not a crime, but here's the thing about the Trump thing.

    10. JR

      It's not, it's not something that... Yeah.

    11. TD

      Is that all the people had been paid. So, not only was it profitable for the banks. He paid everything on time.

    12. JR

      Yeah.

    13. TD

      The loan... There's n- There was no criminal, like, there's no crime. No one got victimized. Nothing, nothing happened.

    14. JR

      Right.

    15. TD

      They profited.

    16. JR

      Right.

    17. TD

      ... and then this crazy lady, with a terrible past, thought that she was gonna be able to pull this off because she was on the team that she thought was gonna win.

    18. JR

      Yeah.

    19. TD

      Like, you talk about putting all your eggs in one basket. Like they got-

    20. JR

      Well, yeah.

    21. TD

      ... a bunch of morons-

    22. JR

      It feels-

    23. TD

      ... to sign in on these things.

    24. JR

      It feels like you have ... There's some- we're in some kind of cold war between two factions in American politics that are using courts and lawyers to go at each other.

    25. TD

      Yeah.

    26. JR

      It's not a hot war. People aren't fighting in the streets, but it does seem to be ... These parties seem to no longer view each other as different sides of the same coin. There seems to be, especially when it comes to Trump, it seems to be like they cannot, you know, see him as anything other than an existential threat that has to be vanquished at any cost.

    27. TD

      Right. And the problem with that is when you deny good things and only highlight bad things, everybody knows it. Well, now you're playing a game, and your game is I never tell the truth, I tell you parts of the truth that I like.

    28. JR

      Yeah. And you gotta win that game.

    29. TD

      Yeah.

    30. JR

      If you're playing that game, you gotta win.

  4. 45:001:00:00

    W- one of the…

    1. TD

      Christian.

    2. JR

      W- one of the big things in America-

    3. TD

      I'm telling you, got kooky on that.

    4. JR

      Yeah, of course.

    5. TD

      The meth got him.

    6. JR

      Yes. Listen, there are a lot of people qu- question World War II for not good reasons, of course.

    7. TD

      Right.

    8. JR

      It's like people that bring up the age of consent. And you go-

    9. TD

      Right.

    10. JR

      ... "Wait a minute."

    11. TD

      Yeah, "Hey."

    12. JR

      You know? "What's going on?"

    13. TD

      "What are you doing?" (laughs)

    14. JR

      There are pe- (laughs) There are people, I think, that do launder, uh, a- not great reasons for que- for questioning World War II through whatever. However-

    15. TD

      No doubt. No doubt.

    16. JR

      No doubt. There is a very interesting... The, the teeth really come out, the gnashing of teeth come out in this country when you question at all the American war machine.

    17. TD

      Yes.

    18. JR

      And the pageantry, uh, of war and the, um, you know, iconography of the state and of war and of how important it is and how just it always is, and how we're always on the right side of it-

    19. TD

      Yeah.

    20. JR

      ... and we're always doing the right thing. In World War II, I, we 100% were, but there are a lot of other times when we've made grave errors-

    21. TD

      Mm-hmm.

    22. JR

      ... with our military.

    23. TD

      Yes.

    24. JR

      And I feel like it's not good enough for... You can't just point to World War II, which is again, we were correct.

    25. TD

      Yes.

    26. JR

      But I think there is this idea that if you... You do... It's, it's not an accident there's a million movies made about World War II.

    27. TD

      Yeah.

    28. JR

      It's not an accident that there is a lot of pageantry surrounding World War II.

    29. TD

      Well, also that the World-

    30. JR

      Yeah.

  5. 1:00:001:09:23

    Right. …

    1. JR

      deal with driverless cars where if- the entire road is automated?

    2. TD

      Right.

    3. JR

      How do you deal with that? I think that fills people with an anxiety where they go, "What is the plan?" And a lot of these tech guys are like, "Well, we gotta get off the planet." And I think people start going like, "Wait a minute." (laughs) You know, like...

    4. TD

      That's Weinstein. Eric Weinstein says-

    5. JR

      Well, it's a lot of people.

    6. TD

      ... we gotta get off the planet.

    7. JR

      There's a lot of people saying that.

    8. TD

      I'm just saying. I don't know what you're saying.

    9. JR

      There's a lot of people.

    10. TD

      There's no air on Mars. Like, let's not go there.

    11. JR

      Yeah. Oh, well, for sure.

    12. TD

      Yeah.

    13. JR

      For sure. Do you think Trump and Moscow will have a falling out eventually?

    14. TD

      I don't know. It's a good question. The media keeps trying to push that they are.

    15. JR

      It feels like they're just big personalities in that there's an inevitability when you have two guys that are incredibly, you know-

    16. TD

      Perhaps.

    17. JR

      ... alpha.

    18. TD

      But Elon is very smart. And you see he's always very deferential.

    19. JR

      Yeah.

    20. TD

      And- and he's always very respectful. "Mr.President," it's always that.

    21. JR

      Well, of course. I mean, yeah.

    22. TD

      I call him sir. That's how I- I treat him. I always call him sir.

    23. JR

      Yeah.

    24. TD

      It- it's D- it's Donald Trump. Yeah, I get it. You're fired. I get it.

    25. JR

      Right.

    26. TD

      But he's also the-

    27. JR

      The president, for sure.

    28. TD

      ... president of the United States. I call him sir. But I call everybody sir.

    29. JR

      Yeah.

    30. TD

      I call everybody sir.
