On this week's episode of the Joe Rogan Experience, the boys talk about pot. They discuss the pros and cons of using it, what it does to your brain, and what it doesn't do to your mind. They also discuss the benefits and negatives of marijuana, and how it can make you more alert and alert to the world around you. They also talk about how much better it is to be a stand-up comedian than being a talk show host, and why it's better than being on a TV show where you don't have to do anything other than talk to people and have them pay attention to what you're doing. The boys also discuss what it's like being a standup comedian and how you should approach it in order to get the most out of your time on the job. And of course, there's a special guest appearance from their good friend Ryan from Conan!

00:02:08.000you know I didn't have interesting people over and talk right I mean what times you done what's my brother I'm just they're all blaming me yeah right here you run another I rate Ryan on this in the Conan situation time to be done like a talk show and it's like you prepare for it's like a big deal and then you you know sit down and talk to someone for like seven And you're like, I didn't even say anything.
00:02:32.000We didn't even get to talk about anything.
00:02:33.000I mean, I had a few topics that kind of got out of the way a little bit, but barely said anything.
00:02:38.000And every one of those shows are set up for that reason, that it's just nothing.
00:02:42.000You just leave there going, that was nothing.
00:03:27.000You have to get them because you're doing a numbers game.
00:03:30.000But then again, how many times have you seen a YouTube clip and you start to open it up and you see nine and a half minutes and you're like, fuck it, I don't even want to start.
00:03:38.000Yeah, but a YouTube clip is totally different than something like this.
00:03:42.000This is cool because you can throw this on at work and you're doing some boring fucking thing at work You can throw this on and watch it while you do it and just enjoy a bunch of people hanging around talking.
00:04:35.000Tattooed his neck, his arms, his chest, everything.
00:04:38.000In every video that I watch, he's talking shit, dancing, and freestyle rapping, talking about haters, talking about all the girls he's fucking, talking about how much money he has, and how pretty he is.
00:06:25.000I think that's what desensitize people to it so much in the last few years.
00:06:28.000Well, they say girls are taken in the ass all the time now.
00:06:30.000Well, I saw on one of the porn sites, they had like a comments section underneath the thing.
00:06:36.000So, where people are complaining about, oh, that girl looks beat on that girl, and maybe because I'm older, like, whatever happened just being excited, you're seeing porn.
00:06:45.000Now we're so desensitized, I'm going to judge that chick.
00:09:37.000He'd go to the front desk girl, he'd walk out that girl.
00:09:40.000Whoever was there, he would stop, so that girl would talk to that person, so there was one other person that, see, she didn't run out all disheveled, like, what just happened to me?
00:09:51.000Because you honestly just want to go to bed and be like, see you later.
00:09:54.000Yeah, but you don't know that girl, so you always have to...
00:09:56.000Well, I think, you know, to a lot of people, people that are, like, famous, like some famous rock star or something like that, that person is, like, they're so unfair.
00:12:00.000The TMZ, I saw one of the guys who works on TMZ, one of the guys, said, we saw so-and-so at the airport, and I wanted to go up to him so bad with a camera and just stick it in his face and ask some dumb questions.
00:12:11.000I probably could have sold that back to TMZ. That's one of the things I wanted to do as a sketch.
00:12:25.000It's evil because those guys are making fun of people that are on TV yet every one of them wants to be so famous and is enjoying all the fame they're getting from being on the show.
00:12:36.000But that's legitimate too because some people like the way they're bitchy.
00:12:40.000They wish they could be that bitchy, and they like watching them.
00:13:56.000Some dude just got obsessed with her, found out where she lived.
00:13:58.000She opened the door and shot her in the chest.
00:14:01.000People don't understand how scary stalkers are.
00:14:03.000When I used to do radio in Detroit, this girl was in 15, 16 page letters, not one piece of white left on the paper.
00:14:11.000So it was written sideways anyway about...
00:14:15.000I had fun going out with you, looking for houses, shit that never happened, you know?
00:14:19.000I heard about your secret messages, da-da-da, and then she went away, and then she came back, and every time I'd be in Detroit, she would leave these letters, when your wife's gone, and it's just us, you know, crazy stuff, so I went to go get a restraining order against her, because she was showing up at my shows, and would find out where I would be, and the judge wouldn't- Did you fuck her?
00:16:32.000I've been doing a tour of all the talk shows and I got to catch it today on the Today Show.
00:16:37.000It's how fucked up, your daughter just died and they're just sitting there for no reason, not promoting anything.
00:16:43.000We're not trying to do anything, but I've seen them on four different talk shows in the last week.
00:16:49.000It's weird, but they do it for money and they do it just to like the people's attention or whatever or say something about their daughter.
00:16:54.000The worst is like, coming up we have Brittany Murphy's mom and Brittany Murphy's mom just sitting there and she knows the camera's on and she goes, And it was...
00:18:55.000Yeah, but any time a young actress dies and there's medication around and there's a lot of money involved, they will automatically do it, no matter what.
00:19:04.000Whenever somebody says don't, yeah, or won't answer your questions.
00:19:07.000If I die, they'll be like, eh, don't waste the money.
00:19:10.000People are like, come on, this is depressing.
00:23:40.000He went on Sunday, though, because it was open night, and he did about 50 to 55 minutes, and it was maybe one of the best sets I've ever seen.
00:23:47.000Stan Hope was there watching, and Stan Hope said, I disagree with 95% of this, but it's so fucking goddamn good.
00:25:38.000It's right after the Minding the Store came out.
00:25:43.000It was like he all of a sudden was running the Comedy Store.
00:25:47.000It was all of a sudden, you know, it wasn't like just a TV show anymore.
00:25:51.000Now, because the comedy store, we've always done for free.
00:25:54.000You know, I always, not only did I work there for free, but I donated all the, when they were giving me checks, they gave me like thousands of dollars worth of checks and I never cashed them.
00:26:03.000Because I always knew they were hurting for cash.
00:26:05.000So, when it came time to do their taxes, I had to donate all that money back to them.
00:26:22.000I went and got the top-of-the-line CD recorder so dudes could make CDs, and I put it all in there out of my own money, just for love of the club.
00:26:32.000And then all of a sudden, Paulie's running it, and I'm like, man, I ain't working for free for you.
00:26:36.000You know, I'll do it all for your mom, but for you?
00:28:43.000I think it's much more likely that he's just completely fucked up and was molested when he was a kid and abused and he grew up in the public eye and he grew up as a baby and like being famous.
00:35:17.000The pleasure and the adventure and the experience that I've gotten from this is way, way, way better than the, whatever, 15 minutes of pleasure that I would get.
00:35:44.000I'll tell you about some other adjustments in a second.
00:35:46.000All of these adjustments though, they just add to the excitement for me because it's just another reminder and it's part of the odyssey of all of this.
00:35:55.000I was sitting down to pee for a long time.
00:35:57.000Well, then the size got to be that when I would sit down, I'd get wet.
00:36:03.000It would get dunked into the water in a lot of toilets, including my own here.
00:36:10.000And so I would sort of squat over the ball, you know?
00:36:15.000I think that just the fact that people look at me and either wonder, what's going on?
00:40:43.000I don't like when dudes touch me because if dudes are thinking about fucking me, I know how I am when I think about fucking girls, and I don't want anybody thinking about me like that.
00:40:51.000Because, you know, if you want to fuck somebody, you're like, you're into them.
00:44:26.000Oh, I went to my high school and then I remember him, how old was I? Yeah.
00:44:29.000Like 17, 18. And then when I wrestled in high school, then he, this recruit, I don't forget, saw our heavyweight and goes, yeah, I was looking for John Heffern.
00:45:30.000No, it's active duty, and they split families up, and it's rough.
00:45:34.000Well, even if you look at Rambo, remember it was all National Guard guys who went after Rambo, and the whole movie was making fun of these National Guard guys.
00:45:41.000Like, they don't know how to do anything.
00:47:10.000One, they would, like, say, I joined at, you know, 40. They'd give me a job and take a 19-year-old out of that job and throw that 19-year-old on the line.
00:48:13.000You're never going to go to war again.
00:48:14.000And then when I was like 21 was the first Gulf War, me and my buddy Jimmy Dottilio, we had an apartment together in Waltham, Massachusetts.
00:49:08.000I remember when the first Gulf War happened, we were practicing in basketball, and it was the opening night of some play, some high school play, and somebody came in like, the play bomb, the play...
00:49:17.000The planes bombed, but I just caught things on the plane bombed.
00:50:06.000All of a sudden, this team you're on is under attack.
00:50:10.000It's not you, but we're all in this team together.
00:50:13.000You don't think about that through your day-to-day life.
00:50:16.000You can say you're happy to be an American, and you believe in democracy, and I'm a Republican, but you don't really realize you're on some team until the team's attacked.
00:50:26.000And then you're like, so dudes that did nothing, dudes who didn't know these dudes, came over and killed them just because they were living on this part?
00:50:46.000When you go through a tour, if you sign up for the military, Dick Cheney instituted some new situation where they can just kind of keep bringing you back.
00:50:55.000Well, he's still on active reserve, so he knew he was eventually getting called up again.
00:50:59.000But when they were in a situation where people had done their tours and they were bringing them back.
00:52:49.000You know, why is that guy still on TV? He's like fucking spidey.
00:52:53.000But now he's on TV because he's a douchebag and because people are looking for him to do something wrong.
00:52:58.000His reason for being on TV has evolved.
00:53:00.000It used to be like, here's this young artist.
00:53:03.000Now it's like, this guy's such a cock.
00:53:04.000Like, have him close to the camera and he'll probably do something stupid and everybody will hate him and it'll get you a million hits on YouTube.
00:53:10.000You know, like when he took that microphone away from that girl, he'll be hated forever.
00:57:13.000And I remember the big climax at the end was like, Because some teacher taught them in a clear move to the rest of the movie that he sounded like he was being real, but he really wasn't.
00:57:23.000And then later was like, were you serious about that?
00:57:47.000I think he's fighting it with every fiber of his being, trying to stay in the straight and narrow, and like girls, and meanwhile, he just wants fucking...
00:58:41.000Even if you're not getting a concussion, you're getting fucking rattled.
00:58:45.000Even if you get up and you get back up, when you get smashed into by some giant dude who's running a full clip, even if you don't go out, and even if you don't have a concussion where your pupils are dilated, you got some brain damage, son.
01:04:01.000The most you'll get is bruises all over your fucking...
01:04:04.000Well, when you spar somebody, especially if I find a place where I'm performing, that's a better story for them, is being knocked out the comic that was.
01:04:12.000That's a way better story than, hey, I want to work on getting inside.
01:04:15.000Do you mind if I... But then again, there's some places that you go to where people don't try to do that at all.
01:04:19.000Like when I went to Amal Easton's place in Boulder, when I moved there and I started training there, people couldn't have been nicer.
01:05:34.000I just get so mad at myself, like I'll go, you learn some stuff and then you come back and you just hold somebody going, I used to remember something.
01:06:48.000Yeah, the Japanese necktie is sort of like a darse, but you grab it with a gable grip and you turn the guy's head up towards his chest and you have your chest pinned on him.
01:07:04.000People are in this position all the time, they're trying to get the darse choke, but really there's an even better choke that's right there.
01:07:10.000As soon as you lock up that gable grip and you get on top of the guy, you tuck it under and you're bending his fucking neck towards his chest.
01:07:21.000Whenever we do those drills and it's those cranks, I always pretend like we have an odd number of people in the class if I don't have a partner.
