In this episode of the Joe Rogan Experience Podcast, the boys talk about the recent car crash that killed a man on a mountain road in California, and how stupid people are for being on their phones while driving. They also talk about what it's like to drive a Lamborghini and how much money it takes to buy a car like that. Joe also talks about how he almost died in a car accident and how he got rid of a car that cost him a quarter of a million dollars and is now worth a lot more than he ever thought he'd be able to afford, and why he doesn't want to get another one. They also get into the subject of texting and driving, and what happens when you ve got your phone in your ear and you ve lost your peripheral vision and you can't see anything but your hands on the steering wheel. The boys also discuss the recent death of a man who was on his phone while driving in Malibu, California and how it could have been a lot worse than it actually was, and the tragic story of a woman who died after being on her phone on the side of the road and being distracted by a passing car. Joe and the guys talk about cars and cars and other stuff like that and much more. It's a good one. Enjoy! Logo by Courtney DeKorte. Theme by Mavus White. Music by PSOVOD and tyops. Art by Skynyrd.

00:01:12.000I say it by myself when I'm in the car.
00:01:14.000When I see dudes on the phone, get off the phone, son.
00:01:16.000And they get the phone up to their ear, which is illegal under California law.
00:01:20.000I wonder how many fucking people have died directly as a result of idiots being on their phone texting and driving and talking on the phone by their ear and losing out the peripheral vision.
00:01:32.000It's a lot worse than I thought it was.
00:01:33.000You know, at first I was like, oh, it's probably the worst as, like, eating or doing other things in the car, but no, there's so many times you're just at the stop, like, really, stop Facebooking, it's a green light, you know?
00:01:42.000Yeah, there's a lot of people that just won't let that shit drop.
00:01:45.000Yeah, I have to make a point that I was trying to send a tweet on the way here, I'm like, you know, you're winding mountain road, almost, you know, dying, just a tweet, hey!
00:01:53.000Isn't that how they thought that Paris Hilton...
00:01:56.000Was it Paris Hilton's plastic surgeon?
00:01:58.000Yeah, they thought he did it, but it was just a lie.
00:02:23.000Unless you think you're in a goddamn Porsche commercial and you're going sideways around corners, there's this video that made me want to get a GT3. Before I got one, there's a video of a Porsche on a mountain road.
00:02:34.000It's a GT3 on a mountain road, and it's some badass fucking rally driver, and he's on a mountain road, and it's like turning left and right, and he's going sideways around every corner.
00:02:54.000Well, you never drove it, just went out for shows all the time.
00:02:56.000Well, I never drove it, and it went out for shows for the first six months that I had it, and then it almost killed me.
00:03:00.000I've talked about this many times on the show, so in the interest of brevity, when I got home one day, the suspension fell off in the driveway.
00:03:09.000The suspension detached from the frame.
00:03:43.000I give everybody a hundred bucks to watch it.
00:03:45.000And then one of the dudes that I gave a hundred bucks now is one of the cameramen for TMZ. So he comes down to the improv, and I'm like, what's up, dude?
00:03:54.000And he's like, hey, remember you used to make me grow your car for a hundred dollars?
00:04:40.000I was there for like a month, and then I moved into Caliendo's house, and then those guys later on, you know, they think the banks were closing.
00:07:20.000He'll tell you things like, Nigga, when I was studying at Harvard and before Yale, but after Oxford and before Johns Hopkins, I said to myself, Eddie, I'm going to do some comedy.
00:07:30.000It was like, the thing is, he was like a He's a liar movie star.
00:08:15.000One thing I liked Yeah, like he just inundated you with an Avalanche of intellects.
00:08:36.000Like, oh my god, let me come up from all this.
00:08:39.000We're exposed to, by being comics and by being comics in the pressure cooker that is Hollywood, you're exposed to psychological lessons that the average person just never gets to deal with.
00:08:50.000You know, you get to watch someone become crazy.
00:08:53.000You get to watch someone lose their shit when they get a little bit of fame.
00:12:50.000For years, I've been trying to be so fucking nice to him because of that.
00:12:55.000So every opportunity to shit on him or to fuck with him, I've avoided and ducked because I felt like I owed him for something that happened when we were really young.
00:13:06.000And so, you know, that's why I did his podcast, even though he'd said some stupid shit about me.
00:13:30.000his rationale was that in doing fear factor i had taken work away from stand-up comics who also worked as writers so the idea is that in me being a stand-up comic who also has a side job of hosting somehow or another these other stand-up comics their side job of writing sitcoms outside of stand-up comedy their side job is somehow or another more valid that it's still it's still not comedy it It's still not stand-up comedy.
00:13:56.000You're talking about a guy who's a massive plagiarist who just ruined comics lives.
00:14:02.000And you're comparing them to me because I hosted a game show.
00:14:05.000But watching this, listening to this keynote, now I understand a little bit better.
00:14:11.000Because three years ago, he was talking about how he was so depressed.
00:15:53.000But Marin has this thing, because he was so unsuccessful, he looks for reasons why other people's success is either invalid or negative or bad, but this fucking festering personality of constantly obsessing about his career and negativity, it was a fascinating keynote.
00:16:11.000One of the things he said, he joked around, it was a really funny joke, I'm the guy who thought Louie's TV show should have been called Fuck You, Marc Maron.
00:16:21.000You know, because they started out together, you know, so he's got some fucking crazy jealousy about Louie.
00:16:25.000Did you know him in Boston or in New York?
00:16:28.000Yeah, I knew him in Boston when I was an open mic.
00:16:30.000You know, he was, I'd say him kind of with me, too.
00:17:02.000I don't know what happened or who, this is just the stories that I'm getting, but I know that he gave Ari unsolicited criticism and I know he fucks with Kilstein.
00:17:10.000Brian, are you fucking with the levels constantly?
00:17:39.000So, it's like, this career that he's had for all these years, 25 plus years, it's, you know, he's obviously done a lot of shit wrong until he did this podcast.
00:17:49.000And this podcast, he's just nailing it.
00:18:32.000This negative, festering fucking kind of thinking is exactly what we're talking about where people don't have shit outside of their career.
00:18:41.000They don't have a bunch of other things.
00:18:43.000Yeah, if you have something going on, I could care less about what's going on with others.
00:19:15.000And it's that crazy sort of fucking dysfunctional thinking, that thinking that disconnected is what it is.
00:19:24.000You're disconnected from other people, and you want it all.
00:19:27.000You want all the adulation, you want all the love, and if you're not getting what you need, fuck everybody else.
00:19:32.000Then negativity starts, you start throwing your negativity at other people.
00:19:36.000And the only way you can truly be positive at all is if you feel like you're getting enough positivity to be, okay, I got a good level here.
00:19:49.000It's a fascinating psychological study to watch all these guys, to watch these Marc Maron guys that were like literally on the brink of suicide, you know?
00:20:02.000But it's like, man, I have a hard time seeing all that.
00:20:04.000I want to just throttle a guy like that and go, look, let's sit down and write down what the fuck is wrong with you and just work it out for once and for all.
00:20:13.000Let's not deal with this for 25 fucking more years.
00:20:57.000He's a cunt of a human, but it's the same thing.
00:21:00.000It's like, here's a guy who doesn't feel like there's enough positivity out there, and if he hasn't stockpiled a big stash of it, then it's, oh, these fucking kids, they think they're funny, and all you do is talk dirty, and all you do is this, and all you do is that.
00:21:31.000So I go on stage, I go, first of all, dude, before I address any of what you just said, so I just start talking to him as he's walking through the crowd.
00:22:55.000But those guys who can find all these things wrong, whether it's the club booker or whatever, like, especially at the comedy store, you'll find guys that's like, I'll always say them, what other club is putting you on?
00:23:10.000But they've snuck into that system back in the 1970s and stuck there.
00:23:14.000You can go there any given night, on a Monday or a Tuesday, and you'll see three or four comics you can't fucking believe are professional comedians.
00:23:39.000You would look at the lineup, you would see Freddie Lockhart, and then you'd look at before you, and you'd just go...
00:23:43.000Dude, I remember when I worked the cover booth, and I turned my shirt inside out because I was embarrassed to work there because I'd have to answer to the likes of why there's a Guglia Rossi on stage, or a Dave Pierre, or whoever they were putting on, giving eulogies as they do.
00:23:56.000And I remember you drove that NSX, and I remember it was like, if I saw that NSX pulling up, you were like the Calvary.
00:24:02.000A legitimate, bonafide comedian, a real comedian that I can show all these people that I had to look in a straight face in charge of $20 to see the likes of Dave Pierre up there telling, why doesn't my cell phone work with the antenna down, but up, it works.
00:28:11.000When I was there, there was like five or six people working for him, manning the video cameras and working the phones and all this different shit.
00:28:18.000And then he's got this back area where he keeps his cars, where he also has carpentry equipment.
00:28:23.000He's like building fucking cabinets and shit.
