Joe Rogan Experience #1522 - Rob Lowe

Oh. Oh, Rob Lowe. Here we go.

Here we are.

What's up, man?

It's good to be ... I was just saying, it's good to be in, like, a proper studio and, uh ...

Have you been completely locked down the entire time?

Completely.

It's outrageous. We're five months in now.

Uh, when does it-

Who would have ever thought this?

It r- and, and it, if you'd have said this is what 2020's gonna have, I mean, you wouldn't have left the New Year's party.

You would've never believed it.

No.

You would've gone, "How does this happen? Like, is there a war? Like, what, what happens? What takes place?"

And it's funny how easily, not easily, but like, that it's just, "Yeah, no, this is what we're dealing with." I mean, I guess everybody, y- one has to adapt, so that's the good news, I guess.

Have you been going to restaurants at all?

Um, I've been to probab- I've gone out to a restaurant maybe three times.

It's, have you gone to the ones where they wear the mask and then the shield over their face as well?

Yeah, it's like they're gonna do welding in the kitchen.

(laughs) It's so strange.

It's ...

But it's better than nothing, so you just sort of adapt.

I know. I mean, uh, I, who knows when it'll ... I mean, at least some people feel like they're going back to work. I mean ...

Yes.

I think we're gonna go back on my show, on, on 9-1-1 Lone Star, pre-production in, on the 17th.

Now, how will they do that?

Well, that's the thing, is that's a big show. I mean, it's n- it's not, you know, a game show.

Right.

It's like, you know, it's adventurers and rescues and pyrotechnics and stunt people. It's just huge in scope, so it, it really is the thing, if we can pull that off, that'll be, that'll be good. But I think the plan is ... Well, one thing that's interesting is just how you run a set is gonna change, they tell me. So you'll come in in the morning. Everybody will get tested. And then everybody's segregated, so i- you go to the set, and the director and the actors will rehearse. That's it, nobody else there. Then they leave, have to leave, and then the, the lighting crew will come in, and they light alone, just the lighting crew, and then they leave. And then the sort of, uh, you know, the, the w- all the production teams get their moment to do what they need to do, but they're doing it alone.

Well, they have a test now that the White House is using, and, uh, it takes 20 minutes. It's an actual test. You go there, so you, you could find instantaneously. See, what ... We're, we're doing one here, the one that you got, is an antibody test. That takes 10 minutes, and it shows active antibodies, which means you got the disease five, six days ago or whatever, and your body's fighting it off. It's currently in your system. And it also shows another indicator whether or not you've fought it off a long time ago.
