    4. AS

      You ready? Joe Rogan, I'll play something for you. Have you been getting into AI music at all?

    5. JR

      Uh, music, a little, a little, a little.

    6. AS

      (coughing) Listen to this.

    7. JR

      Yeah.

    8. AS

      They're taking 50 Cent songs-

    9. JR

      I knew we were gonna put... That I heard.

    10. AS

      ... and turning them. You've heard Many Men, right?

    11. JR

      Yeah, it's incredible.

    12. AS

      Have you heard What Up Gangsta?

    13. JR

      No, not let me hear it.

    14. AS

      No, you haven't.

    15. JR

      The Many Men one is fantastic.

    16. AS

      The Many Men's amazing.

    17. JR

      Yeah.

    18. AS

      Hold up, hold, hold up, before you... Hold up, he's not on.

    19. NA

      How do you...

    20. JR

      Oh, my bad, my bad.

    21. AS

      What's this? You gotta hear this, you gotta hear this.

    22. NA

      What up, blood? What? What up, cuz? What? What up, blood? What? What up, gangsta?

    23. AS

      Wait til you hear this flow.

    24. NA

      What up, blood? What? What up, cuz? What? What up, blood?

    25. JR

      Woo.

    26. AS

      Woo!

    27. NA

      What up, gangsta?

    28. JR

      Here we go.

    29. NA

      They say I stroll around like I got a crest on my chest. Nah, that's a semi and a vest sitting tight on my chest. I try not to speak much. Guys love to play court. But I hunt a duck, nickle down, treat it like sport. Front on me, I cut you.

    30. JR

      (laughs)

  2. 15:0030:00

    And now they're calling…

    1. JR

      funny, 'cause like he's trying to be reasonable right now. He's like trying to have like-

    2. AS

      And now they're calling him a right-winger. (laughs)

    3. JR

      I, and, and I keep, and I keep hitting him up, and I'm like, "Bro, you're doing the right thing when-"

    4. AS

      Yeah.

    5. JR

      "... when there are groups that like hate you, because you're actually trying to like win an election."

    6. AS

      (sighs)

    7. JR

      "You're trying to be reasonable." He had this whole thing about like, "Hey, the reason why they can build a lot of buildings in Texas and why we can't in Los Angeles is because there are restrictive laws." And people were like, "This guy's an animal."

    8. AS

      (laughs)

    9. JR

      And I was just (laughs) like, like, "All right, buddy. I don't know what to tell..." So I understand that frustration.

    10. AS

      (clears throat)

    11. JR

      Shit, I've felt it a, a million different times.

    12. AS

      Yeah.

    13. JR

      Like you try to be nuanced and reasonable, there's really no place on the internet for it-

    14. AS

      Right.

    15. JR

      ... because why would the algorithm reward anything nuanced and reasonable? That's not entertaining. I wanna see Nick Fuentes talk shit.

    16. AS

      Right.

    17. JR

      Do you know what I mean? (laughs)

    18. AS

      Right.

    19. JR

      I don't wanna see like a thoughtful take from some-

    20. AS

      Right.

    21. JR

      ... like TV host.

    22. AS

      You want Sam Hyde.

    23. JR

      I'm, get wild, Sam. (slams desk)

    24. AS

      Yeah.

    25. JR

      You know what I mean?

    26. AS

      Get wild.

    27. JR

      Like, I, it, now, does it mean that I agree with these things?

    28. AS

      No.

    29. JR

      No. But the algorithm doesn't know what you agree with or not. They just know what you click on, share.

    30. AS

      It's part of the fun of the internet in general, is that it's not regulated. So when wild people break through and everybody goes, "Ah."

  3. 30:0045:00

    Yep. …

    1. JR

      LA.

    2. AS

      Yep.

    3. JR

      And a lot of them have moved outta LA. They've moved to, like, San Diego. Like my boy, Nick, who's AD, he's like, "Yeah, there's just no work in LA right now, so, we'll travel for the job, and then I just live the rest of my time in San Diego." That's a problem. Netflix just built this, like, billion dollar fucking studio in Jersey. Did you see this?

    4. AS

      No.

    5. JR

      So, like, they're gonna start taking production over there. I'm just saying, like, you have the industry that everybody knows Los Angeles for. What other thing do we know LA for?

    6. AS

      That's it. It's being famous. Music, movies.... yeah. It's all LA. That's all LA is.

    7. JR

      I don't even know what music is coming out of there anymore. Like, when we were kids, you think about, like, what those, those iconic, like, rock and roll venues.

    8. AS

      Right. Well, it's also a town of lost children, right? Like, the, one of the problems with LA is, like, if you wanted to talk about a town that doesn't have, like, an emotional base that's healthy. (laughs)

    9. JR

      Right.

    10. AS

      Like, the, the main motivation-

    11. JR

      Bro.

    12. AS

      ... of a, a good percentage of the people that came out there is to just to get attention to make up for a shitty childhood. Like, that's the main, the m-

    13. JR

      Yeah. (laughs)

    14. AS

      ... the, the main population.

    15. JR

      LA is, is attention to make up for a shitty childhood. New York is money to make up for a shitty childhood.

    16. AS

      Yes.

    17. JR

      That's really what it is.

    18. AS

      Yes.

    19. JR

      It's like, New York is the hedge funds and the banks 'cause it's like, "Okay-

    20. AS

      Yes.

    21. JR

      ... my dad wasn't around, my mom hated me, but I'm gonna make a billion dollars and that, I think, that'll make up-"

    22. AS

      Yeah, my mom was on pills and barely there and, you know, yeah.

    23. JR

      And I've developed enough sociopathy where I could-

    24. AS

      Yeah, dad's a sociopath. Yeah.

    25. JR

      ... I could be this fucking hedge fund guy that's gonna take over the world. That's what they believe. And then LA is the same thing, but it's just pats on the back.

    26. AS

      Yeah.

    27. JR

      I want people to love me.

    28. AS

      Yeah, yeah. It's both two different versions of American Psycho.

    29. JR

      (laughs) Yeah.

    30. AS

      (laughs)

  4. 45:001:00:00

    Like your buddy who…

    1. AS

    2. JR

      Like your buddy who goes in to kinda like-

    3. AS

      Uh-huh.

    4. JR

      ... scope it out talks about you.

    5. AS

      He gambles high. Yeah.

    6. JR

      Yeah.

    7. AS

      He's, he's wild, but he g- loses a lot, but he's not, he's not scared to gamble.

    8. JR

      Yeah.

    9. AS

      And everybody loves to hear that kind of stupid talk.

    10. JR

      Yeah.

    11. AS

      Do you know who Efren Reyes is?

    12. JR

      Yo, you told me about this guy and then I started looking him up.

    13. AS

      Bro.

    14. JR

      But what was his other name?

    15. AS

      Cesar Morales.

    16. JR

      Yes, yes, yes.

    17. AS

      He came here from the Philippines.

    18. JR

      Yeah, yeah, yeah.

    19. AS

      This is how strong he was.

    20. JR

      (laughs) Yeah.

    21. AS

      From another country, he had to change his name. (laughs)

    22. JR

      His name. (laughs)

    23. AS

      This is before Google, before Wikipedia.

    24. JR

      Before Google.

    25. AS

      He's like, "Does anybody here know-"

    26. JR

      There was a black-and-white photo. There's a black-and-white photo that I have a T-shirt of with, like, "Morales stuns the field at Reds."

    27. AS

      That's funny.

    28. JR

      He came over from the Philippines and robbed everybody.

    29. AS

      That is funny.

    30. JR

      Robbed the best pool players in America.

  5. 1:00:001:04:54

    Yeah. …

    1. JR

      love and maybe make a champion out of them. But some of them don't. And I think that you could break a kid like that too.

    2. AS

      Yeah.

    3. JR

      That's the tricky thing I always think with, with, you know, my daughter is like, and any future kids is, I don't, I don't know if I, I don't, I don't have that, at this point in my life, I don't have that "I need to make you into something."

    4. AS

      You shouldn't.

    5. JR

      I, I, I just kind of like-

    6. AS

      You gotta let them be themselves.

    7. JR

      Yeah.

    8. AS

      'Cause they all are gonna have... The, the worst thing is like say if you have a kid and you love baseball and you force your fucking kid to play baseball. "You gotta go to baseball practice." And you force your kid to play professionally.

    9. JR

      Yup.

    10. AS

      You know.

    11. JR

      I was lucky I was ambitious, and my parents had just supported the things that I was ambitious about. So if I wanted to hoop, they were like, "All right. Let's go play basketball." My dad was like, "Let's go every single day. Whatever you wanna do, like let's go."

    12. AS

      Hmm.

    13. JR

      But I never felt this like, this stage mom or dad presence where they were, they were going, "Hey, you missed four shots today. Let's review those shots that you missed, and let's figure out ways that you can't do it."

    14. AS

      Right.

    15. JR

      Like kinda let me have that on my own.

    16. AS

      Yeah.

    17. JR

      I don't need you to insert your ambition into me. I feel like that's kind of selfish in a lot of ways.

    18. AS

      It is, and it's also, it's like you gotta know when the line is. Like maybe they do want advice. Like maybe they are trying to get better at this thing. But you have to have the kind of communication with your kid, be like, "Do you, do you want some help? Want me to help you?"

    19. JR

      Yeah.

    20. AS

      You know, like, like, "I can, I can give you some information."

    21. JR

      Yeah.

    22. AS

      Like say if your kid wanted to do, like if your kid wanted to do standup.

    23. JR

      Yeah.

    24. AS

      And your kids started doing standup, and you know, they're bombing. And you're like, "Um..."... do you want me to talk to you?

    25. JR

      Yeah.

    26. AS

      Do you wanna talk... Do you wanna just work this out on your own? Like, you have to have that kind of open level of communication with your kids where they can tell you, like-

    27. JR

      Yeah.

    28. AS

      ... "Hey, just leave me the fuck alone right now." Like, "Okay."

    29. JR

      Yeah.

    30. AS

      "Okay. Just, I know you bombed. You know, it sucks."
