    (drum roll) Joe Rogan podcast,…

    1. NA

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

    2. TS

      The Joe Rogan Experience. Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day. (instrumental music plays)

    3. JR

      (laughs) What's wrong with you?

    4. TS

      (laughs)

    5. JR

      How? First of all, how did Netflix let you make this show?

    6. TS

      Well, they wouldn't have-

    7. JR

      (laughs)

    8. TS

      ... let me make it if I just pitched it to them. (laughs)

    9. JR

      (laughs) What did you do?

    10. TS

      I made a few- (laughs)

    11. JR

      (laughs)

    12. TS

      I made a few and showed it to them.

    13. JR

      Oh my God.

    14. TS

      'Cause I, I knew. I knew that I, like-

    15. JR

      Dude.

    16. TS

      ... that if, like-

    17. JR

      You can't give anybody, like, the script.

    18. TS

      No.

    19. JR

      No.

    20. TS

      The script won't work. The script won't work.

    21. JR

      (sighs)

    22. TS

      I mean, that's just-

    23. JR

      (laughs)

    24. TS

      (laughs) That's the thing is, like-

    25. JR

      That's very funny. Very funny.

    26. TS

      Thanks, man. It's, um-

    27. JR

      So ridiculous.

    28. TS

      It's pretty ridiculous. You know, it was a few years ago that I made the, like, the initial one. It was, um, I was on that crazy tour, that real crazy tour-

    29. JR

      Mm-hmm.

    30. TS

      ... where it was, like, you know, fucking 10 shows a week, and I had a break coming up. And so, I've always liked movies, like, features, right? But it's, it's a lot, it's a huge undertaking to get a feature made, but I liked short films 'cause it feels like you're making a movie, you know, like, a mini-movie, right?

  2. 15:0030:00

    Mm-hmm. …

    1. TS

      myself sometimes, if I remember, that I'm best onstage if I'm going onstage in a silly mindset.

    2. JR

      Mm-hmm.

    3. TS

      If I'm goofing off backstage-

    4. JR

      Yes.

    5. TS

      ... fucking around, you know-

    6. JR

      Yes.

    7. TS

      ... making fun of somebody that's, like, in my crew or some-... I don't know, you know, like-

    8. JR

      Oh, for sure.

    9. TS

      ... dancing in the green room.

    10. JR

      Mm-hmm.

    11. TS

      Like, just silly. That- that mindset walking up onstage is like the best one to go onstage with.

    12. JR

      That's why I used to l- love working with Joey so much.

    13. TS

      Yeah.

    14. JR

      Because all... two things. One, Joey would make me laugh, like, while he was onstage. I'd be waiting to go onstage. Instead of thinking about my material and going over everything-

    15. TS

      Yeah.

    16. JR

      ... with a fine-toothed comb, I'd just be laughing.

    17. TS

      Mm-hmm.

    18. JR

      And then I'd go onstage laughing.

    19. TS

      And that's, that- that's the thing is that's an unspoken thing.

    20. JR

      Mm-hmm.

    21. TS

      But the audience goes, like, "There's joy coming from this person."

    22. JR

      Yes.

    23. TS

      You know? They feel the joy.

    24. JR

      Legit.

    25. TS

      Yeah.

    26. JR

      Yeah, legit.

    27. TS

      They really do.

    28. JR

      'Cause, like, there's nothing grosser than fake laughs.

    29. TS

      Yeah.

    30. JR

      When a comedian does the fake laugh thing-

  3. 30:0045:00

    Yeah, he's just trapped,…

    1. TS

    2. JR

      Yeah, he's just trapped, trapped in booze.

    3. TS

      Mm.

    4. JR

      But it's also made him very rich, so-

    5. TS

      Yeah.

    6. JR

      ... I don't know what to say.

    7. TS

      Yeah. (laughs) Working out.

    8. JR

      That just, like... I love him.

    9. TS

      Yeah.

    10. JR

      You know, I don't want him to change, but I do. I mean, I want him to be healthy. But, like, like, when we first started doing Sober October, it was essentially just 'cause we were worried Bert was gonna die.

    11. TS

      Yeah.

    12. JR

      You know?

    13. TS

      Yeah. Well, he's still here.

    14. JR

      I mean, the first one was the weight loss thing.

    15. TS

      Blood work's perfect.

    16. JR

      You know?

    17. TS

      Yeah. (laughs)

    18. JR

      It's nuts.

    19. TS

      What's that, what type of resistance is that?

    20. JR

      Um, I don't know. I think it's like 100 and something.

    21. TS

      100 and something?

    22. JR

      Yeah.

    23. TS

      Ooh.

    24. JR

      ... yeah.

    25. TS

      Yeah.

    26. JR

      Yeah. I'm obsessed with, you know that squeeze machine?

    27. TS

      Yeah.

    28. JR

      You know the thing?

    29. TS

      Oh, yeah, it measures your grip?

    30. JR

      Yeah. I got 161 and I wanna get 190.

  4. 45:001:00:00

    That's- …

    1. JR

    2. TS

      That's-

    3. JR

      It's tough to beat Italian food.

    4. TS

      It really is.

    5. JR

      It really is. It's tough to beat it, just for f- pure uh.

    6. TS

      Mm-hmm.

    7. JR

      That pleasure of uh.

    8. TS

      Oh yeah.

    9. JR

      Just overstuffing yourself. (laughs)

    10. TS

      We, we were there for last summer. It was, like, every day.

    11. JR

      Yeah.

    12. TS

      You know? And the thing is, I didn't, like, blow up.

    13. JR

      No?

    14. TS

      No. I thought I would. I mean, I'm sure I gained a few, but I, I thought, I was like, "Oh, this is gonna be fucking terrible." But it was ... I think a big thing there versus here is portion sizes.

    15. JR

      Hmm.

    16. TS

      You know, like, there's no such thing as, they don't go, "Here's your pasta. Here's a fucking bowl." Like this, you know?

    17. JR

      Right, right.

    18. TS

      It's like, it's-

    19. JR

      Well, I think in, in Italy, the real thing is the food's different.

    20. TS

      Yeah.

    21. JR

      I think our food is poison.

    22. TS

      It's so bad, right? I mean-

    23. JR

      Oh.

    24. TS

      ... I saw, oh my God, I saw this lady on your show, I saw a clip talking about all these health epidemics, like the full run of stats, where she was like, "One in two for cancer," and this and that, for the-

    25. JR

      Was it Calimines?

    26. TS

      She was a ... That, I think she was a doctor, right? Is she a doctor?

    27. JR

      Yeah. Well, I don't think she finished her doctorate or, or her m- medical school training, because I think she got to the position where she realized that most metabolic diseases are being caused by food.

    28. TS

      But that's the thing is, like-

    29. JR

      Yeah.

    30. TS

      ... that's the big takeaway, I think, from that, is like, you had this conversation with, you know, I had it with people all the time who travel abroad, and you're just like, "Everything in Japan was fucking amazing."

  5. 1:00:001:09:42

    It, I k- it…

    1. JR

      it work?

    2. TS

      It, I k- it can't. I'm imagining it, but it can't. But like, you know, I always-

    3. JR

      (laughs)

    4. TS

      ... um, think about the fact with AI, how we're in, we're in, like, version one.

    5. JR

      Right.

    6. TS

      And we're all blown away by it already, right?

    7. JR

      Right, right.

    8. TS

      And it was, uh, there was a watch guy online who was like, "I have two, like, Daytonas."

    9. JR

      Oh, yeah.

    10. TS

      And he was like, "Dude." He goes, "This is the best one I've ever seen."

    11. JR

      Fakes, yeah.

    12. TS

      The fake, he had to-

    13. JR

      Perfect.

    14. TS

      ... he had to take it apart and to look at parts that were inside.

    15. JR

      Yeah.

    16. TS

      Like a spin wheel. He goes, "Oh, this is missing the logo."

    17. JR

      So which begs the question, like, what is it? Like, what are you buying? Do you want it from this company only or do you want a Rolex Daytona? Like, what do you want?

    18. TS

      Well, y- I mean, I think if... In, in the case of that, you know that the...... the, the movements, the, the actual inner workings of the real one are far superior.

    19. JR

      Are they, though?

    20. TS

      I think so, yeah.

    21. JR

      Why?

    22. TS

      Yeah.

    23. JR

      Well, I assume that. What if the other one has a 72-hour battery, or a-

    24. TS

      I mean-

    25. JR

      ... a power supply too?

    26. TS

      I-

    27. JR

      What if, what if you 3D print every single aspect of the watch?

    28. TS

      I bet-

    29. JR

      Then it's the same thing.

    30. TS

      ... with no ... Pretty close, I guess.
