   4. CTColum Tyrrell0:12

      What's the story?

   5. JRJoe Rogan0:12

      Good to see you, brother. What's happening?

   6. CTColum Tyrrell0:14

      I'm great, man.

   7. JRJoe Rogan0:15

      Thanks for doing this, man.

   8. CTColum Tyrrell0:16

      Thanks for having me.

   9. JRJoe Rogan0:17

      My pleasure. I'm excited to talk to you.

   10. CTColum Tyrrell0:19

       Yeah. So I, I, I was so nervous about my special these last couple of weeks, that I don't even think I was really even thinking about this at all, so it probably kind of worked as a nice distraction.

   11. JRJoe Rogan0:29

       [laughs]

   12. CTColum Tyrrell0:29

       'Cause if I didn't have anything else going on, this would've just been over in my head all the time.

   13. JRJoe Rogan0:33

       Oh, yeah. I know. It fucks people up the first time they do it.

   14. CTColum Tyrrell0:36

       Yeah.

   15. JRJoe Rogan0:37

       After you do it a couple times, you're like, "Ugh, it's just, we're just hanging out."

   16. CTColum Tyrrell0:39

       Yeah, yeah, yeah.

   17. JRJoe Rogan0:40

       But in the beginning-

   18. CTColum Tyrrell0:41

       But this is-

   19. JRJoe Rogan0:41

       ... it's a mind fuck

   20. CTColum Tyrrell0:42

       ... this is a global scale for me.

   21. JRJoe Rogan0:43

       It's-

   22. CTColum Tyrrell0:43

       This is-

   23. JRJoe Rogan0:44

       Me too. I try not to think about it. [laughs]

   24. CTColum Tyrrell0:47

       [laughs] Yeah, 'cause all I'm thinking now is, like, we'll say something about fucking-

   25. JRJoe Rogan0:50

       100%

   26. CTColum Tyrrell0:50

       ... Sydney Sweeney's tits.

   27. JRJoe Rogan0:51

       [laughs]

   28. CTColum Tyrrell0:53

       And then I gotta get a phone call off my mother. [laughs] I go, "What the-"

3. 0:56 – 3:32

   Sydney Sweeney, beauty politics, and why people react to “power”

   1. JRJoe Rogan0:56

      Did you see how those women that... They interviewed these women and they, uh, asked them what was, uh, a worse impact on women in society, whether it was Lindy Clancy or Sydney Sweeney, what was worse for women? And they almost like... I mean, I don't know where they went. Obviously, it's a biased sampling group, but all these women were saying Sydney Sweeney.

   2. CTColum Tyrrell1:15

      Yeah. Really?

   3. JRJoe Rogan1:16

      Yeah.

   4. CTColum Tyrrell1:16

      Mm. They, they just wanna cluck each... They wanna just peck each other to death. Is that-

   5. JRJoe Rogan1:20

      Exactly. That's what it is.

   6. CTColum Tyrrell1:21

      Yeah, 'cause she really made it out of the swamp.

   7. JRJoe Rogan1:22

      [laughs]

   8. CTColum Tyrrell1:23

      She made it out of the swamp.

   9. JRJoe Rogan1:25

      Right.

   10. CTColum Tyrrell1:26

       She's, like, as famous as you could possibly be j- just mostly because of her tits, really.

   11. JRJoe Rogan1:31

       Yeah.

   12. CTColum Tyrrell1:32

       It, it-

   13. JRJoe Rogan1:32

       You know what I'm saying?

   14. CTColum Tyrrell1:32

       Actually, you know what? I, I always thought she was a good actor in, um-

   15. JRJoe Rogan1:35

       She is good

   16. CTColum Tyrrell1:35

       ... a couple other things.

   17. JRJoe Rogan1:36

       Yeah.

   18. CTColum Tyrrell1:36

       Uh, Euphoria and stuff.

   19. JRJoe Rogan1:37

       Uh-huh.

   20. CTColum Tyrrell1:38

       Yeah, yeah.

   21. JRJoe Rogan1:38

       She's just too hot. They don't like it.

   22. CTColum Tyrrell1:41

       Yeah. But she's also kinda not, like, crazy strikingly beautiful, so there's something that makes her even more popular, you know?

   23. JRJoe Rogan1:48

       Really? You think so?

   24. CTColum Tyrrell1:49

       I think... I don't think she's, like, a catwalk model. She's not like a Victoria's Secret model. She, her face is a little-

   25. JRJoe Rogan1:54

       Let's take a look at her face.

   26. CTColum Tyrrell1:55

       Well, I-

   27. JRJoe Rogan1:55

       [laughs]

   28. CTColum Tyrrell1:56

       Honestly, I'm not... This is horrible, but I'm not-

   29. JRJoe Rogan1:57

       [laughs] You're getting rude.

   30. CTColum Tyrrell1:59

       I'm not into this. [laughs]
4. 3:32 – 9:45

   Gambling ads, phones, and the nanny-state argument

   1. JRJoe Rogan3:32

      Well, I think she's probably working with one. Boy, if there's anything that's, like, the most controversial thing in, i- one of the most p- controversial things today is gambling ads and whether or not gambling should be legal. Pe- some people are, like, fully against gambling being legal, and I'm like, boy, I don't understand that.

   2. CTColum Tyrrell3:50

      The, uh, I grew up with gam- uh, gambling's legal in Ireland. It always was.

   3. JRJoe Rogan3:55

      Hmm.

   4. CTColum Tyrrell3:55

      But then we had a, like, a, a bookies which was, like, attached to the pub nearly everywhere you'd go. So you'd have to physically go in there and write out-

   5. JRJoe Rogan4:02

      Mm-hmm

   6. CTColum Tyrrell4:02

      ... a slip, and you could bet on the horses and stuff like that.

   7. JRJoe Rogan4:04

      Yeah.

   8. CTColum Tyrrell4:05

      And it seemed to be relatively managed well, but I think, first of all, the phones are a disaster.

   9. JRJoe Rogan4:11

      Yeah.

   10. CTColum Tyrrell4:11

       And then you add gambling to the phones.

   11. JRJoe Rogan4:14

       Yeah.

   12. CTColum Tyrrell4:15

       I've heard a lot of stories of people, like, throwing shit away, because, because the phones are addictive no matter what, and then they pl-

   13. JRJoe Rogan4:20

       Mm-hmm.

   14. CTColum Tyrrell4:20

       You'll be putting a bet on basketball, and it'll go, "Bling! You just won a free, uh, blackjack. Why don't you play blackjack?" And then you'll be there for an hour, and you've lost $500. And-

   15. JRJoe Rogan4:29

       Right. Or don't do that.

   16. CTColum Tyrrell4:31

       Yeah.

   17. JRJoe Rogan4:31

       That's the thing. It's like, uh, shouldn't you be able to have a balanced life and also bet 500 bucks on a game that you care about?

   18. CTColum Tyrrell4:38

       Yes.

   19. JRJoe Rogan4:39

       If you're a regular person with a regular job, and you're not insane-

   20. CTColum Tyrrell4:42

       Yeah

   21. JRJoe Rogan4:42

       ... and you go, "Oh, shit, the Knicks are playing tonight. I think they're gonna fucking take it. Let's go."

   22. CTColum Tyrrell4:47

       Yeah.

   23. JRJoe Rogan4:47

       And you throw a $500 bet on it, and it makes it exciting for you.

   24. CTColum Tyrrell4:50

       Sure.

   25. JRJoe Rogan4:50

       You got something riding on it. Come on, fuck yeah!

   26. CTColum Tyrrell4:52

       Yeah.

   27. JRJoe Rogan4:53

       Woo! People like that. I don't know why we're supposed to take that away because some people can't control it. And you... Look, I've said this many times.

   28. CTColum Tyrrell5:02

       It's-

   29. JRJoe Rogan5:02

       I've talked about this a ton. I, I s- from the time I was 23 till I was, like, 25, I lived in a pool hall.

   30. CTColum Tyrrell5:09

       Yeah.
5. 9:45 – 14:38

   Blue laws and bizarre restrictions: booze rules, Sundays, and weird lists

   1. JRJoe Rogan9:45

      Uh, what remains today, the main surviving Texas blue law restrictions concern alcohol sales and motor vehicle sales. Liquor stores close on Sundays, and car dealers cannot sell vehicles on both Saturday and Sunday of the same weekend. What?

   2. SPSpeaker9:58

      Why? That's why we brought it up.

   3. JRJoe Rogan10:00

      Saturday and Sunday-

   4. SPSpeaker10:01

      Such a weird rule

   5. JRJoe Rogan10:02

      ... of the same weekend.

   6. SPSpeaker10:04

      Uh, so those are the only ones that last. There was a... I got into this, 'cause there was a long list of 42 very specific items that weren't allowed to be sold, and it was repealed in, like, the '60s or '80s or something.

   7. JRJoe Rogan10:16

      This is for Texas?

   8. SPSpeaker10:17

      This was for Texas. I don't know about for every other state.

   9. JRJoe Rogan10:19

      [laughs]

   10. SPSpeaker10:20

       It's just, it's also a very strange list of stuff. Electronics.

   11. JRJoe Rogan10:24

       So what are the categories removed? These are things you couldn't sell?

   12. SPSpeaker10:27

       Yeah, you couldn't-

   13. JRJoe Rogan10:28

       You couldn't sell electronics on Sunday?

   14. SPSpeaker10:30

       It was repealed in 1985.

   15. JRJoe Rogan10:33

       How weird is that? Electronics, that's the devil's work.

   16. SPSpeaker10:36

       Clothing, furniture, kitchen utensils.

   17. JRJoe Rogan10:38

       Footwear.

   18. SPSpeaker10:39

       Appliance.

   19. JRJoe Rogan10:39

       You can't buy shoes on Sunday.

   20. SPSpeaker10:40

       So you couldn't go shopping, basically.

   21. JRJoe Rogan10:42

       Oh.

   22. SPSpeaker10:42

       Or you couldn't buy... I mean, you could go shopping, you couldn't buy any things.

   23. CTColum Tyrrell10:44

       This is, these are old, these are old Texas laws?

   24. JRJoe Rogan10:46

       The Jesus laws, son.

   25. CTColum Tyrrell10:48

       Yeah, got it.

   26. JRJoe Rogan10:48

       Jesus wants you to not sell guitars on a Sunday.

   27. CTColum Tyrrell10:51

       [laughs]

   28. JRJoe Rogan10:52

       There was medic- uh, the, put, put that back up, that list. It's crazy. Musical instruments, recordings, and toys. If your kid wants a fucking toy-

   29. CTColum Tyrrell11:00

       Sorry

   30. JRJoe Rogan11:00

       ... you can't make your kid happy on a Sunday? They should be happy with Jesus.
6. 14:38 – 18:03

   Comedy in Ireland vs. New York: tough crowds and small scenes

   1. JRJoe Rogan14:38

      Yeah, yeah, yeah. How long have you been over here for, in America?

   2. CTColum Tyrrell14:41

      I've been here since 2014, so.

   3. JRJoe Rogan14:45

      Did you start comedy in Ireland?

   4. CTColum Tyrrell14:46

      Yeah, I, I was doing comedy for like two years out there.

   5. JRJoe Rogan14:49

      What's it like out there? What's the scene?

   6. CTColum Tyrrell14:50

      Small. Not many people out there. So it's like a small... It's like not that easy to make a living. But-

   7. JRJoe Rogan14:55

      Is, uh, is there clubs, or is it open mics?

   8. CTColum Tyrrell14:58

      There is only really a couple of purposely built clubs. Most rooms are just like a, a, a room above a bar that's been converted, and great.

   9. JRJoe Rogan15:06

      Mm-hmm.

   10. CTColum Tyrrell15:06

       And the cl- the crowds are incredible in Ireland. They're small, uh, and they, they're almost like d- doing a black room. 'Cause if you crush, you feel like a king, and if you bomb-

   11. JRJoe Rogan15:16

       [laughs]

   12. CTColum Tyrrell15:16

       ... you will regret everything that ever led to that. The Irish will, you will bomb at the Irish, and then just quickly someone goes, "Not funny." And then you got 15 more minutes going, "Fuck." And he gets a big laugh, and you go-

   13. JRJoe Rogan15:28

       Oh

   14. CTColum Tyrrell15:28

       ... "Oh, what about this other thing I saw?" You know?

   15. JRJoe Rogan15:30

       Yeah.

   16. CTColum Tyrrell15:31

       But if you're going well, they love you. Yeah. Yeah.

   17. JRJoe Rogan15:34

       And is, is there a lot of good comics over there?

   18. CTColum Tyrrell15:36

       There's some great comics, yeah. A lot of them don't move out too much. They don't really get out of there.

   19. JRJoe Rogan15:41

       That's a problem.

   20. CTColum Tyrrell15:42

       We got a couple of great guys. Well, there was a-

   21. JRJoe Rogan15:43

       Really?

   22. CTColum Tyrrell15:44

       Our biggest guy ever is probably Tommy Tiernan.

   23. JRJoe Rogan15:46

       I've heard of him.

   24. CTColum Tyrrell15:47

       Tommy was massive, and he used to go all over, and then I think he got rocked for saying... He got, like, one of the first canceled guys back in 2006. He made a joke about, um, if, about Hitler didn't have enough ambition. [laughs]

   25. JRJoe Rogan16:01

       [laughs]

   26. CTColum Tyrrell16:01

       And that six million wasn't enough. And then he-

   27. JRJoe Rogan16:03

       Oh

   28. CTColum Tyrrell16:03

       ... but he said it, like, casually on stage as a joke, and then someone wrote a huge article about it, and then that kind of fucked his whole touring over here. His agents, his managers-

   29. JRJoe Rogan16:11

       [laughs]

   30. CTColum Tyrrell16:11

       ... everyone dropped him. And then he just goes, "Fuck it, I'll stay in Dublin. I'll stay in Ireland because, uh, I got a fan base here, my family." So Tommy's the best.
7. 18:03 – 29:30

   Tommy Tiernan, cancellation stories, and sliding into Kanye territory

   1. JRJoe Rogan18:03

      So it's interesting. So he just said, "Fuck it, I'm gonna stay in Ireland"?

   2. CTColum Tyrrell18:06

      I think so, yeah, yeah.

   3. JRJoe Rogan18:06

      And he was touring all over the world before that?

   4. CTColum Tyrrell18:08

      He had, yeah, he had like, he was huge. He, big, huge in Canada, big in Australia. He, he was doing the tours in America, had a Comedy Central hour at the time. And then I think it was, like, a post-show live interview type of thing where someone-

   5. JRJoe Rogan18:22

      Just one thing fucking around

   6. CTColum Tyrrell18:23

      ... someone actually asked the question, it was like, "Can you go too far as a joke?" And he said, "No." And then I think he used that as an example, and some journalist-

   7. JRJoe Rogan18:30

      Hmm

   8. CTColum Tyrrell18:30

      ... just Cherry picked that and said, "Anti-Semitic," whatever

   9. JRJoe Rogan18:34

      Oh, what a cunt

   10. CTColum Tyrrell18:34

       Which is funny, because if he did it today, he'd be a fucking king.

   11. JRJoe Rogan18:37

       Right

   12. CTColum Tyrrell18:37

       Because the anti-Semitism's kind of in-

   13. JRJoe Rogan18:39

       [laughs]

   14. CTColum Tyrrell18:39

       ... kind of cool. [laughs]

   15. JRJoe Rogan18:40

       It's in vogue.

   16. CTColum Tyrrell18:41

       It's kind of cool.

   17. JRJoe Rogan18:42

       Yeah, it made a comeback.

   18. CTColum Tyrrell18:43

       It really did, yeah.

   19. JRJoe Rogan18:45

       As soon as Kanye started selling out stadiums again, everybody was like, "Wow."

   20. CTColum Tyrrell18:49

       Yeah.

   21. JRJoe Rogan18:49

       That dude had a diamond-encrusted swastika made. By the way, where do you think he got the diamonds?

   22. CTColum Tyrrell18:55

       [laughs] Money, money Joe

   23. JRJoe Rogan18:58

       Think he got them from the Albanians.

   24. CTColum Tyrrell18:59

       [laughs] He goes, "You what?"

   25. JRJoe Rogan19:02

       Think he got them from the Italians.

   26. CTColum Tyrrell19:03

       There's gonna be an upcharge on the, on the swastika. [laughs]

   27. JRJoe Rogan19:06

       We can make a deal.

   28. CTColum Tyrrell19:07

       Yeah.

   29. JRJoe Rogan19:08

       But we have to work something out. Gotta go in through the back door.

   30. CTColum Tyrrell19:12

       Yeah. So yeah-
8. 29:30 – 31:39

   Cosmetic procedures, aging, and body modifications that backfire

   1. CTColum Tyrrell29:30

      Mm-hmm. That would be my biggest fear probably, to go under the knife trying to be more handsome. And then you come out with, like, a fucking, like a fucked up lip or something

   2. JRJoe Rogan29:40

      Right

   3. CTColum Tyrrell29:40

      You know?

   4. JRJoe Rogan29:41

      And your face doesn't move. So every time you... You might look okay when you're staring at the mirror, but then as soon as you start talking, your face looks like-

   5. CTColum Tyrrell29:47

      Yeah

   6. JRJoe Rogan29:47

      ... it's made out of rubber

   7. CTColum Tyrrell29:49

      What's gonna look, what, what are all these, like, young 20-year-olds who are getting Botox gonna look like when they're 40? Are they just gonna have a fucking mask on? Like just-

   8. JRJoe Rogan29:56

      Well, it's the fillers. The fillers are the real problem. Botox is not great, but it, it's, you're basically putting botulism in your skin, and it can also cause a bunch of other side effects. But I think the real problem is those fillers. Like, some people have to get their face removed and scrape the fillers out

   9. CTColum Tyrrell30:14

      What?

   10. JRJoe Rogan30:14

       Yeah, man. Some, some-

   11. CTColum Tyrrell30:16

       What do you, what do you mean get their face removed? [laughs]

   12. JRJoe Rogan30:17

       Yeah, you, they literally have to, like, fucking open your face up and remove the fillers. Like, some ladies went a little too far-

   13. CTColum Tyrrell30:23

       Like Peel it back like Terminator?

   14. JRJoe Rogan30:24

       I don't, I don't know the procedure, but I know that they have to get something in your skin underneath there and suck it all out

   15. CTColum Tyrrell30:32

       Yeah. Oh

   16. JRJoe Rogan30:34

       Depending on the fillers

   17. CTColum Tyrrell30:35

       Some of them look good, though

   18. JRJoe Rogan30:36

       With the fillers?

   19. CTColum Tyrrell30:37

       Well, just with the work

   20. JRJoe Rogan30:38

       Like with that beast done look?

   21. CTColum Tyrrell30:40

       No, I'm talking, like, what's, what's the oldest Kardashian? The, the queen. The queen of the Kardashians

   22. JRJoe Rogan30:44

       Oh, yeah

   23. CTColum Tyrrell30:45

       Not the kids. The, the older lady

   24. JRJoe Rogan30:46

       Yeah, yeah. What is her name?

   25. CTColum Tyrrell30:48

       Chris

   26. JRJoe Rogan30:48

       Chris, yeah

   27. CTColum Tyrrell30:49

       'Cause sh- I don't know who she's working with, but she must have-

   28. JRJoe Rogan30:52

       Some wizard

   29. CTColum Tyrrell30:52

       ... she must have a wizard. She has a squad.

   30. JRJoe Rogan30:54

       Tommy Tiernan.
9. 31:39 – 37:08

   Trans identity, “perverts,” and policy loopholes around spaces and prisons

   1. JRJoe Rogan31:39

      Well, I think once you've given up on sex, and then you've kinda... It's also, it's like did Caitlyn Jenner have the, excuse me, bottom surgery? [laughs]

   2. CTColum Tyrrell31:51

      I don't think so

   3. JRJoe Rogan31:51

      Has that been confirmed?

   4. CTColum Tyrrell31:52

      I don't think so

   5. JRJoe Rogan31:53

      I think she did

   6. CTColum Tyrrell31:54

      She walks like she has a cock.

   7. JRJoe Rogan31:56

      Yeah, well she used to.

   8. CTColum Tyrrell31:56

      [laughs] Yeah, yeah

   9. JRJoe Rogan31:57

      I think

   10. CTColum Tyrrell31:58

       ... you, I guess you don't, uh, adjust. That, that must-

   11. JRJoe Rogan31:59

       You probably keep the same strut

   12. CTColum Tyrrell32:01

       That must be hard to adjust to not having a cock.

   13. SPSpeaker32:03

       Yeah, a long time ago

   14. CTColum Tyrrell32:04

       Like you ever get a tooth taken out?

   15. JRJoe Rogan32:05

       Long time ago had the surgery?

   16. SPSpeaker32:07

       Yeah. According to her memoir

   17. CTColum Tyrrell32:09

       Yikes. But do you ever get like a tooth taken out or something and like-

   18. JRJoe Rogan32:11

       Mm-hmm

   19. CTColum Tyrrell32:12

       ... you, it's like weird to adjust to it for a while?

   20. JRJoe Rogan32:13

       Mm-hmm. It feels weird

   21. CTColum Tyrrell32:14

       Not having a penis must be fucking... [laughs]

   22. JRJoe Rogan32:16

       But now you don't-

   23. CTColum Tyrrell32:17

       Might take, take a while

   24. JRJoe Rogan32:17

       ... but now you have a tube. You have a hole that you have to keep dilated with a rubber dick

   25. CTColum Tyrrell32:22

       It comes with instructions on how to clean it properly and shit.

   26. JRJoe Rogan32:24

       Ah.

   27. CTColum Tyrrell32:25

       Do you ever clean a pocket pussy? It's the most disgusting thing I've ever done in my life. [laughs]

   28. JRJoe Rogan32:28

       We used to have a sponsorship with a Fleshlight.

   29. CTColum Tyrrell32:30

       Yeah, and but that's the problem is it's all fun and games until you gotta wash it. [laughs]

   30. JRJoe Rogan32:35

       [laughs]
10. 37:08 – 39:14

    Losing the accent, being called a fraud, and touring back home

    1. CTColum Tyrrell37:08

       Well, my, my accent's barely Irish anymore. My accent... Everyone, I k- I know for a fact everyone in Ireland is gonna be watching this going, "Fucking stupid American accent. What's he doing?"

    2. JRJoe Rogan37:16

       That's crazy.

    3. CTColum Tyrrell37:16

       'Cause it's soft as shit. And it is real soft, 'cause all my friends are Irish, my wife's Irish. Uh, sorry, all my friends are American, my wife's American. I just sort of talk around them. And I podcast so much that you hear the, the accent.

    4. JRJoe Rogan37:27

       Yeah, but you've got the, the der. Der, there's a der.

    5. CTColum Tyrrell37:30

       Yeah, there's a

    6. JRJoe Rogan37:30

       Taking the der-

    7. CTColum Tyrrell37:31

       ... stupid shit.

    8. JRJoe Rogan37:31

       There's a way that Irish people talk-

    9. CTColum Tyrrell37:34

       Yeah, sure

    10. JRJoe Rogan37:34

        ... that differentiates them from other people with-

    11. CTColum Tyrrell37:36

        And, yeah. And then when I go home I s- I, I, I suck it in. Everyone I'm listening to-

    12. JRJoe Rogan37:40

        Mm

    13. CTColum Tyrrell37:40

        ... I get it back, it's thick as shit, and then I come back here and no one understands me for a week, and then it just sort of disappears, it floats away.

    14. JRJoe Rogan37:46

        See, to me you sound very Irish.

    15. CTColum Tyrrell37:48

        Yeah.

    16. JRJoe Rogan37:48

        Yeah.

    17. CTColum Tyrrell37:49

        But to them I sound like a prick. [laughs]

    18. JRJoe Rogan37:50

        Really?

    19. CTColum Tyrrell37:51

        Really. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

    20. JRJoe Rogan37:51

        Like you've softened up.

    21. CTColum Tyrrell37:52

        Softened up a lot.

    22. JRJoe Rogan37:53

        Mm.

    23. CTColum Tyrrell37:54

        There's old clips of me on YouTube and stuff where my accent's thick as shit. Conor McGregor style fucking, "What's the story? How's everybody doing?"

    24. JRJoe Rogan38:01

        Wow.

    25. CTColum Tyrrell38:01

        And now, now I'm like, "Going to d- put the trash, put the trash out," or whatever.

    26. JRJoe Rogan38:06

        But even when you're saying, "Put the trash."

    27. CTColum Tyrrell38:08

        Yeah, I guess there's little things in there.

    28. JRJoe Rogan38:09

        Yeah.

    29. CTColum Tyrrell38:10

        Yeah.

    30. JRJoe Rogan38:10

        Little, right there.
11. 39:14 – 44:04

    “Raging Aiden”: Colum’s dad, work stress, and quiet desperation

    1. CTColum Tyrrell39:14

       No. Well, it's, it changes. The place changes so much, I don't know. I have stuff about my dad I talk about a lot. I'll talk about my dad a lot. Like, my dad, he's very Irish dad, you know what I mean? And, uh, just like a, he's just like a i- interesting guy. He used to be really angry my whole life, and then one day I think he stopped working, and now he's the nicest guy.

    2. JRJoe Rogan39:30

       [laughs]

    3. CTColum Tyrrell39:31

       You know? I think there's something about your, uh, someday your... I think your dad is a mean prick until one day when you're like a, a grownup, and then they just go, "Ah, you're all right," like, they ease, ease off, you know?

    4. JRJoe Rogan39:43

       Well, one thing that happens, you get out of their house, so they don't have to take care of you anymore.

    5. CTColum Tyrrell39:47

       They start fucking-

    6. JRJoe Rogan39:48

       That changes a lot

    7. CTColum Tyrrell39:49

       ... they start riding, start riding again.

    8. JRJoe Rogan39:49

       Yeah.

    9. CTColum Tyrrell39:49

       They get the fuck out of the house.

    10. JRJoe Rogan39:50

        Yeah. They, you get out of their house, and you're not their responsibility anymore, and then they can relax when they're around you.

    11. CTColum Tyrrell39:55

        Yeah.

    12. JRJoe Rogan39:56

        And then if you're doing all right with your life, you've developed a career or what have you-

    13. CTColum Tyrrell40:00

        Yeah

    14. JRJoe Rogan40:00

        ... then they're all right when they're around you.

    15. CTColum Tyrrell40:02

        But my, my d- my friends used to call my... My dad's name is Aiden. My friends used to have a nickname for him called Raging Aiden-

    16. JRJoe Rogan40:07

        [laughs]

    17. CTColum Tyrrell40:07

        ... 'cause he was just n- such a notorious shithead. And one time we were, we were 18 or 17, we're going to a concert, and two of my friends were in the house. We're just drinking, pre-drinking, and he came home from work or whatever, and he's like, "How's it going?" And he's like raging, and he's like mad, and then he's just... At one point someone made a joke, and he goes, "Get the fuck out of my house, all of yous, get the fuck out of my house." And he grabbed the beers and threw them out into the street. He goes, "Get the fuck out of here." And my friend Bill, he walked off down the road, and then my dad comes out and goes, "Bill, come here. Get back here. Get back here." And he walks all the way up, and he goes, "Get the fuck out of my face."

    18. JRJoe Rogan40:36

        [laughs]

    19. CTColum Tyrrell40:38

        [laughs] He just saw red. And that-

    20. JRJoe Rogan40:41

        Did he just hate his job?

    21. CTColum Tyrrell40:42

        I don't know. Yeah, he used to work as a plumber, so I think he just hated his job. I think he was just stressed about financial shit and everything.

    22. JRJoe Rogan40:48

        Yeah.

    23. CTColum Tyrrell40:48

        And now he's, like, retired, and he gardens, and he's this sweet little old pathetic man.

    24. JRJoe Rogan40:52

        [laughs]

    25. CTColum Tyrrell40:53

        It's not, he's like a, he's like my, my, my nieces have the best version of him ever.

    26. JRJoe Rogan40:58

        Wow.

    27. CTColum Tyrrell40:59

        He's just in the garden all day, just planting, and he'll send me photos of flowers. That's like, I'm like-

    28. JRJoe Rogan41:02

        Wow

    29. CTColum Tyrrell41:03

        ... "Who is this guy? What happened?"

    30. JRJoe Rogan41:04

        Wow.
12. 44:04 – 54:36

    Irish drinking culture, Guinness stories, and famine memory

    1. CTColum Tyrrell44:04

       But, you know, I grew up in Ireland, fistfights all the time.

    2. JRJoe Rogan44:08

       Mm-hmm.

    3. CTColum Tyrrell44:08

       So when w- w- the nightclubs used to end at 4:00 in the morning in Dublin City Center, and everyone stayed out till 4:00. It was like, it, it, it was, wasn't even an option to go home before the bar closed, if that makes sense. Though I've never in my life heard of someone going, "Ah, it's 2:00. I better go." And you go, "No, there's two more hours of drinking. We're here-"

    4. JRJoe Rogan44:28

       [laughs]

    5. CTColum Tyrrell44:29

       That's, that's just the way it worked. I don't know why. We just love it so much. And we drink-

    6. JRJoe Rogan44:34

       What is... Why is that?

    7. CTColum Tyrrell44:35

       I, I think, well, apparently the Vikings used to have to drink a lot of alcohol because that would kill the bacteria in the water. So there's-

    8. JRJoe Rogan44:44

       Mm

    9. CTColum Tyrrell44:44

       ... I think there's probably some sort of a thing that was just passed down through generations of... Eh, I also think it's probably a whole lot of, uh, repressed fucking trauma over the years that we can only let out w- when we get blackout drunk and puke. [laughs]

    10. JRJoe Rogan44:58

        That's-

    11. CTColum Tyrrell44:58

        Uh, that's our therapy, you know?

    12. JRJoe Rogan44:59

        There are a lot of stories in ancient days of people who drank nothing but beer.

    13. CTColum Tyrrell45:04

        Yeah.

    14. JRJoe Rogan45:04

        They just drank beer. That was what they're out- so everyone was drunk all the time.

    15. CTColum Tyrrell45:09

        Yeah.

    16. JRJoe Rogan45:09

        Which is really crazy if you think about it.

    17. CTColum Tyrrell45:11

        But like, you, you get to a point where you're kind of, you're not dr- drunk drunk, but you're kind of buzzed-

    18. JRJoe Rogan45:16

        Right

    19. CTColum Tyrrell45:17

        ... all day, every day. You're just a little bit horny.

    20. JRJoe Rogan45:19

        [laughs] Yeah.

    21. CTColum Tyrrell45:20

        Just a little bit.

    22. JRJoe Rogan45:21

        And also, like, the, just the liver poisoning. Like-

    23. CTColum Tyrrell45:25

        Yeah, but you're p- probably dying in your 60s back then anyway.

    24. JRJoe Rogan45:28

        Probably killed by a sword before-

    25. CTColum Tyrrell45:30

        Fucking the honorable way to go

    26. JRJoe Rogan45:31

        ... yeah, before you're ever getting liver-

    27. CTColum Tyrrell45:33

        Nice

    28. JRJoe Rogan45:33

        ... disease.

    29. CTColum Tyrrell45:34

        But they did that at the Guinness Brewery in Dublin too. W- all these guys would, the old coopers would make the, the barrels, and they'd make millions of these per year. And they had a free supply of Guinness to drink all day. So these guys would go to work, and they would drink 12 pints of Guinness all day while they're fucking working. And then after work, they'd go down to the Guinness bar, the pub, and spend their-

    30. JRJoe Rogan45:55

        Oh, my
13. 54:36 – 1:05:44

    Israel-Gaza overwhelm, elections, and doomscroll fatigue

    1. CTColum Tyrrell54:36

       I don't think it was great either.

    2. JRJoe Rogan54:38

       Well, it doesn't seem like it was.

    3. CTColum Tyrrell54:39

       It was great before the English showed up, and then they kind of pushed us off Ireland-

    4. JRJoe Rogan54:42

       Yeah

    5. CTColum Tyrrell54:42

       ... and everything, but. That's why the Irish love Palestine so much, because they just built in our system or built in our culture of supporting the underdog, I guess.

    6. JRJoe Rogan54:52

       Sure.

    7. CTColum Tyrrell54:52

       You know? Um, no matter what the,'s going on, I think we just will naturally side towards the people who are Getting genocided rather than the other people. That's kind of-

    8. JRJoe Rogan55:02

       Well, I mean, that's kind of across the whole world now.

    9. CTColum Tyrrell55:06

       Now it is. Now, yeah.

    10. JRJoe Rogan55:07

        You know, the, the, that's the weird thing about Jewish people in America. That's their... No, there's a lot of people that I know, uh, I love them to death, but they have a blind spot, and that blind spot is their Jewish identity in Israel.

    11. CTColum Tyrrell55:20

        Yeah.

    12. JRJoe Rogan55:20

        And they refuse to say it's a, it's a genocide. They refuse to condemn it.

    13. CTColum Tyrrell55:24

        Yeah.

    14. JRJoe Rogan55:24

        And they, they come up with reasons why they had to bomb those buildings.

    15. CTColum Tyrrell55:27

        Of course.

    16. JRJoe Rogan55:28

        And Hamas did this, and Hamas did that, and October 7th this, and-

    17. CTColum Tyrrell55:31

        Yeah. I'm kind of over it now, though. I kind of wish Israel would just kind of hurry up, wipe them off, so we can move on.

    18. JRJoe Rogan55:35

        [snorts]

    19. CTColum Tyrrell55:36

        But I don't think it's... I think it's just, it's going on a little long now, Joe, and I don't think they're gonna change anything, so wipe them out. Wipe out West Bank, and then... Like, why is Macklemore back in my timeline? Because of Israel.

    20. JRJoe Rogan55:49

        Yeah.

    21. CTColum Tyrrell55:50

        So.

    22. JRJoe Rogan55:50

        Well, because he made that stance.

    23. CTColum Tyrrell55:52

        Sure.

    24. JRJoe Rogan55:52

        And said, "Free Palestine."

    25. CTColum Tyrrell55:53

        But there wouldn't have been a stance to make if Israel would just hurry up and wipe them out.

    26. JRJoe Rogan55:56

        Jesus.

    27. CTColum Tyrrell55:56

        'Cause they're not gonna stop. They're not gonna stop. It's gonna just keep going.

    28. JRJoe Rogan55:58

        Jesus Christ, Colum.

    29. CTColum Tyrrell55:59

        Don't you think? It's got... Like, do you see a, do you see a solution?

    30. JRJoe Rogan56:02

        Settle down, lad. Are you trying to be the 2026 Tommy Tiernan?
14. 1:05:44 – 1:17:09

    Surveillance tech, mainstream news distrust, and pharma ad incentives

    1. JRJoe Rogan1:05:44

       ... toying with the idea of moving away from a smartphone.

    2. SPSpeaker1:05:47

       Have you seen the stuff about the TVs going on recently?

    3. JRJoe Rogan1:05:50

       Yes.

    4. CTColum Tyrrell1:05:50

       They call it a dumb phone, right?

    5. JRJoe Rogan1:05:51

       Yeah. Smart, Samsung TVs might use the mics of connected devices to listen to you.

    6. CTColum Tyrrell1:05:57

       They, they, they're definitely listening. 100%.

    7. JRJoe Rogan1:05:59

       So people always think it's the phone listening-

    8. CTColum Tyrrell1:06:01

       They have to

    9. JRJoe Rogan1:06:01

       ... but it's every other device around you listening and then-

    10. CTColum Tyrrell1:06:04

        Yeah

    11. JRJoe Rogan1:06:04

        ... sending it to an ad company.

    12. CTColum Tyrrell1:06:06

        Yeah.

    13. JRJoe Rogan1:06:06

        That's the thing, is, like, there's, there's terms of services, like, that you sign up for when you, uh, click accept.

    14. CTColum Tyrrell1:06:14

        Mm-hmm.

    15. JRJoe Rogan1:06:14

        And you don't even read those fucking things. And some of them, like the TikTok one, is insane.

    16. CTColum Tyrrell1:06:19

        Yeah.

    17. JRJoe Rogan1:06:19

        I don't know if it is insane now, but the old TikTok one was TikTok, if you had a phone and that phone had TikTok on it, TikTok was allowed to have access to the other computers that are on the network that don't have TikTok on them.

    18. CTColum Tyrrell1:06:37

        Yeah.

    19. JRJoe Rogan1:06:37

        So you're essentially allowing whatever that program is, whatever the software is-

    20. CTColum Tyrrell1:06:43

        Mm-hmm

    21. JRJoe Rogan1:06:43

        ... to access passwords, keystrokes, your microphone, all kinds of wild shit.

    22. CTColum Tyrrell1:06:49

        Yeah.

    23. JRJoe Rogan1:06:50

        It's like some security expert looked at it and said it is one of the worst pieces of software I've ever read, or ever looked into.

    24. CTColum Tyrrell1:06:57

        This was, these are the new guys who bought it, and then they s- is it?

    25. JRJoe Rogan1:07:00

        No, this was before.

    26. CTColum Tyrrell1:07:01

        This is the old guys-

    27. JRJoe Rogan1:07:02

        This was before

    28. CTColum Tyrrell1:07:02

        ... who had, who was forced to sell it.

    29. JRJoe Rogan1:07:03

        And now it's owned by-

    30. CTColum Tyrrell1:07:04

        The old Chinese guys or whatever.
15. 1:17:09 – 1:44:53

    Bigfoot maps to solo hikes: chasing the wild and why nature feels like therapy

    1. JRJoe Rogan1:17:09

       Okay? W- [laughs] Do you have a, is that a Bigfoot T-shirt?

    2. CTColum Tyrrell1:17:11

       It's a Sasquatch fucking shirt.

    3. JRJoe Rogan1:17:13

       Oh.

    4. CTColum Tyrrell1:17:13

       I went to Mount Rushmore. I, I, buddy, I'm the ultimate tourist. I'll do it all.

    5. JRJoe Rogan1:17:18

       Yeah?

    6. CTColum Tyrrell1:17:19

       I love it. I love going to fucking Buc-ee's and, and to getting a photo with the mascot. I went to Mount Rushmore. I did a b- and one of the best trips of my life last summer. I, I, I, I r- I heard about how beautiful Montana is and everything, so I fucking worked with my agent to g- like, we went Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Idaho, which is probably the most beautiful place in fucking America.

    7. JRJoe Rogan1:17:40

       Pretty gorgeous out there.

    8. CTColum Tyrrell1:17:41

       All up there. And now I've got the b- so we went everywhere, but over there, which is, like, I think Rapid City? Is it closest to... Rapid City's nice, but then they've got the, like, the Black Mountains, um, out there.

    9. JRJoe Rogan1:17:51

       Mm.

    10. CTColum Tyrrell1:17:51

        The Black Forest Mountains. It's just beautiful out there. Beautiful. So that's all I wanna do now.

    11. JRJoe Rogan1:17:56

        Is there supposedly Bigfoot sightings near Mount Rushmore?

    12. CTColum Tyrrell1:17:59

        I don't think there is.

    13. JRJoe Rogan1:18:00

        [laughs]

    14. CTColum Tyrrell1:18:00

        That's the funny thing about it. I think I just, it was the, the only thing that didn't say, like, "I heart fucking Mount Rushmore," so I was, I wanted a shirt, and I was like, "This'll kinda do," a Sasquatch type of a Mount Rushmore shirt, but.

    15. JRJoe Rogan1:18:11

        That's a special kind of person, the person who really loves Bigfoot.

    16. CTColum Tyrrell1:18:14

        I'd love to go to these places and do a little hunting.

    17. JRJoe Rogan1:18:17

        Duncan and I did it.

    18. CTColum Tyrrell1:18:18

        You went looking for it, the guys?

    19. JRJoe Rogan1:18:19

        Yeah, Duncan Trussell and I. I had a show back in 2011 or '12 called Joe Rogan Questions Everything.

    20. CTColum Tyrrell1:18:26

        Yeah.

    21. JRJoe Rogan1:18:26

        And one of the things we, we, like, let's do a deep dive on s- chemtrails. Let's do a deep dive on UFOs. Let's do a deep dive... And so we did a deep dive on, uh, Bigfoot hunters. So we went and met people that met Bigfoot. We took, a lot of it is in the Pacific Northwest.

    22. CTColum Tyrrell1:18:40

        Yeah, that's the hot, that's the hotbed.

    23. JRJoe Rogan1:18:42

        Yeah. Also, a lot of meth.

    24. CTColum Tyrrell1:18:43

        [laughs]

    25. JRJoe Rogan1:18:43

        A lot of meth, a lot of Sasquatch. [laughs]

    26. CTColum Tyrrell1:18:47

        [laughs]

    27. JRJoe Rogan1:18:47

        A lot of heroin, a lot of Sasquatch.

    28. CTColum Tyrrell1:18:49

        There is a car.

    29. JRJoe Rogan1:18:49

        Are these the Bigfoot sightings?

    30. SPSpeaker1:18:50

        Yeah, look where the big clump is here.
16. 1:44:53 – 1:53:12

    Stars, Big Bend LSD, YMCA in the tent, and the Trump pop-culture pipeline

    1. CTColum Tyrrell1:44:53

       You guys, we, we, me and a few comics last week went out to Big Bend, one of the most fun things we've ever done.

    2. JRJoe Rogan1:44:58

       In Oregon?

    3. CTColum Tyrrell1:44:59

       Uh, no.

    4. JRJoe Rogan1:45:00

       Sorry.

    5. CTColum Tyrrell1:45:01

       Uh, no, Big Bend.

    6. JRJoe Rogan1:45:02

       Where's that?

    7. CTColum Tyrrell1:45:02

       Here.

    8. JRJoe Rogan1:45:03

       Oh, Big Bend?

    9. CTColum Tyrrell1:45:04

       Big Bend National Park.

    10. JRJoe Rogan1:45:05

        Oh, okay.

    11. CTColum Tyrrell1:45:05

        It's in South Texas. It's the, it's like the darkest region of-

    12. JRJoe Rogan1:45:08

        Oh

    13. CTColum Tyrrell1:45:09

        ... um-

    14. JRJoe Rogan1:45:09

        That's the darkest region? South Texas?

    15. CTColum Tyrrell1:45:11

        One of, one of them. Yeah, down there.

    16. JRJoe Rogan1:45:12

        Yeah.

    17. CTColum Tyrrell1:45:12

        So it's a designated night place, so all the lights go off.

    18. JRJoe Rogan1:45:16

        Oh.

    19. CTColum Tyrrell1:45:16

        But we went out there. Yeah, that's exactly where we stayed, at the Chisos Mountains.

    20. JRJoe Rogan1:45:20

        Fuck, look how beautiful that is.

    21. CTColum Tyrrell1:45:21

        It's fucking insane how nice it is out there, and there was tarantulas walking around and shit-

    22. JRJoe Rogan1:45:25

        Ooh

    23. CTColum Tyrrell1:45:25

        ... 'cause it's mating season. They came over. They were climbing on our shit and stuff.

    24. JRJoe Rogan1:45:29

        Oh, mating season.

    25. CTColum Tyrrell1:45:29

        Nah, it's so cool. It was fucking cool. But I lo- so we sat out at night. The sunset would go down, and we would watch the, the, the stars come out, and we would sit there for seven hours just staring at back, leaning back in our Tommy Bahama chairs.

    26. JRJoe Rogan1:45:44

        Wow.

    27. CTColum Tyrrell1:45:44

        We did a little LSD-

    28. JRJoe Rogan1:45:46

        Mm

    29. CTColum Tyrrell1:45:46

        ... and then just looked at the stars all night. It was one of the most insane things I've ever done. But I've ne- I'd, after that, I feel like I'd, I'd never seen the sky truly until I went out there.

    30. JRJoe Rogan1:45:57

        Right.
17. 1:53:12 – 2:17:44

    Trump’s Bill Maher screed, meme coins, and how “legal” can still feel corrupt

    1. CTColum Tyrrell1:53:12

       Nice.

    2. JRJoe Rogan1:53:12

       And we're back. Where were we? YMCA.

    3. CTColum Tyrrell1:53:16

       Wow, wow, wow, wow.

    4. JRJoe Rogan1:53:17

       Nicki Minaj's ass. Let me see that. Can we see the video?

    5. CTColum Tyrrell1:53:19

       Pull up Nicki's ass, Dave. [laughs]

    6. JRJoe Rogan1:53:21

       Did you see the breakup letter he wrote to Bill Maher?

    7. CTColum Tyrrell1:53:24

       No.

    8. JRJoe Rogan1:53:25

       [laughs]

    9. CTColum Tyrrell1:53:26

       Trump did? Trump penned a letter?

    10. JRJoe Rogan1:53:28

        It's a breakup letter. [laughs] It's like, uh, a girl who got dumped, who's like, "Fuck him," and, "He's always a loser," and, like, that kind of thing.

    11. CTColum Tyrrell1:53:35

        [laughs]

    12. JRJoe Rogan1:53:36

        It was really crazy.

    13. CTColum Tyrrell1:53:37

        But Bill Maher was, like, anti-Trump, and then he fucking had dinner with him, and then he's like-

    14. JRJoe Rogan1:53:40

        A couple times

    15. CTColum Tyrrell1:53:41

        ... great guy.

    16. JRJoe Rogan1:53:41

        And had dinner with him recently, and then went on his show. And I guess he said some things about how Trump is losing support in the polls or whatever it was. And Trump wrote this long fucking screed, this scroll that he put on Truth Social about, uh, Bill Maher's a fucking loser, and he was like, he was drunk at the White House. He needed a drink.

    17. CTColum Tyrrell1:54:05

        Yeah.

    18. JRJoe Rogan1:54:05

        Like, it's...

    19. CTColum Tyrrell1:54:07

        It's just, and he, he, he-

    20. JRJoe Rogan1:54:09

        Whew

    21. CTColum Tyrrell1:54:09

        ... he is a gift that does not stop giving-

    22. JRJoe Rogan1:54:12

        Yeah, he does

    23. CTColum Tyrrell1:54:12

        ... even if you don't want the gift, you know?

    24. JRJoe Rogan1:54:14

        [laughs]

    25. SPSpeaker1:54:14

        Well, there s- there seems to be two things. This doesn't have her in it, but this is definitely a quote he said-

    26. JRJoe Rogan1:54:18

        Okay

    27. SPSpeaker1:54:19

        ... about her from the-

    28. JRJoe Rogan1:54:19

        Is it, is it her?

    29. CTColum Tyrrell1:54:21

        I'm studying him, and then I made the mistake. I told, in fun, I said, "I looked at his ass," and I've never done that with a man before. It's true. [laughs] Off the record, women yes, men no, okay?

    30. CTColum Tyrrell1:54:36

        [laughs]
