Transcript

0:00 The Joe Rogan Experience holy shit, I know you're a big fan of music. you like to be on the cutting edge I was going to call you. I didn't care enough The road don't keep me through We do a falsetto in a little bit. You would be my first choice I get distracted by something more interesting and he's done, like, Pink Videos and Tina Turner. I mean, he really is.

4:28 But it's kind of a little. And I didn't mean anything funny by it. I said, it's too bad. If only she had been ugly, oh, that's sweet. Then she Facebooked her and saw how beautiful she was. So she left him. And I didn't mean anything funny by it. So you've always been a fan of music. He does the real production. How fucking mean is that? Because I'm working with a pro.

5:54 Oh, yeah. better i i put more acting energy in you lester's all alone and he just falls out of his chair laughing and here I am Hundreds of people. it's cool. great you know but i mean i don't i don't think i hey i discovered this new kid domerer do you zero is it is it basically you're doing the same motion you're hitting the ball in different areas but you're

9:13 Yeah, but you've got to have talent too Jesus Christ, bro. You don't have a seven-second delay? That's a lot of fucking practice while I'm playing guitar. of classical guitar, and he would do it all That guy's crazy as fuck, though. laughing prince this is what i'm thinking what fun is this in life he's sitting there alone Your prince not having any fun as opposed to a regular person.

11:27 But I heard that's bullshit, too. The reason I don't want to take them a lot of times, first of all, I just want to wait. It absorbs energy from him. Oh, jeez. and when it landed, everyone would just start fighting? on like iraq or something like that and everyone would go yeah for real the idea was that this Only cock. This is not like a small amount of people either.

14:29 X actually only plays in adult movie theaters. I mean, they show people getting chopped up with machetes and shit, but you can't watch people have sex. Mom, daughter? They have their name underneath it. You know, people are broke enough, that have no other option, but because my goddaughter is that age now. And some girl actually said that to a friend of mine.

16:31 If anyone wants to do it, a good looking woman. That gets totally changed their job. Does the economy affect comedy clubs that much? It was so brutal. That's antiquated now. I had Paul Stanley on from Kiss, and he was talking about the dip in record sales. that she's actually still selling albums. Maybe I'll team up with her, Joe. Was that who he went on stage with?

19:01 that you interrupt someone while they're getting an award. and you'll be like, Jesus fucking Christ, will you turn that off? Without a doubt. Oh, sorry. Does Al have a say in this? There's clouds everywhere. Slope. It used to be that you could fucking lose your job, but now people are just way more cool on Twitter. Like, this fucking PC is going to be the death of funny.

21:36 the mark but he's just trying to be funny that's all it is arty lang loses that midnight appearance We could probably find it on another. Carrie Champion's her name. he had a um there was something about owning her oh i, I attempt to whip Carrie Champion because she disrespected the Jefferson plantation, Oh, my God. But how could you think it was serious?

24:02 We will not dignify them with any other comment wow Look, he was just trying to be funny. I mean, we would be laughing he's fucking frustrated i mean he's funny it thought it was funny and he didn't mean that You can't say fucked up things anymore. Hopkins is 49, almost 50. This Russian cat is fucking. He's he's really really really fucking good anyway roy jones jr

26:37 Yeah, yeah. on him my god well you know what i got in fire today is look at that little monkey run yeah It was a football... Yeah, but it wasn't an immediate. You know, he said that's part of the sad reality of it, Let's hear Cosell. He certainly does, as a matter of fact. look, get that little monkey run. It's weird times when it comes to jokes, at least.

29:49 There's a lot of those guys out there. He was horrible. He had some good lines. 40 50 like that make the final cut so you kind of have to have some knowledge on almost everybody Because football is so different than other sports. And Cain has only fought, I think, two times in the last three years. Yeah. And that guy would be comparable to a quarterback in football because without the quarterback, you're hurting.

32:26 And the winner will be the interim heavyweight champion. out and one of the reasons why he got knocked out he couldn't move right his knee was pretty Can you imagine you break your spleen, it bleeds into your body cavity, Joe, did you say, do you remember when Joe Seisman broke his leg? I've seen them a few times in MMA, breaks. really damage the prone's leg and on rare occasions it causes the leg to break they

35:09 walk everywhere in your hands god you'd fucking be tired instantly so you got amazing power in And sometimes guys' legs just break. I mean, it's probably You know, like maybe where punches are landing. Yeah. it's awful to watch do you ever see leg break and uh this kid got knocked out and I was sitting next to his mother and sister that was interesting to the palm when we were watching. Remember that night we had the love dinner? Yeah, those are some of the best ones to watch.

37:59 It's a crazy way to live your life. but i as a martial art to practice i like jujitsu because there's no head trauma. Oh. it really changed his career. It's hard to tell when an injury actually takes place for a boxer Sure. He needed the money. and because he was a 500 fighter 500 if you hit 500 in baseball you're the greatest player and he's giving you all this fight philosophy

41:53 It was Tyson, yeah. Oh, is that what? Wow. Yeah. He was very polite and well-dressed. Phantom punch, yeah. For a guy with no steroids. Heavy weights Without lifting weights It's fake Oh, man. Oh, Jesus. Patterson, he had a jab. Oh, that left. Oh, Jesus. But what Ali did with him was movement. Boom, boom, boom. Yeah. I think he quit on a stool. what fucking leverage he gets into these punches jesus christ i'm impressed with

46:37 Fucking scary shit, man. I was at the Spinks fight, Michael Spinks in Atlantic City, I think it was like 73 seconds or something that lasted. tyson had been you know slacking off yeah yeah just making fucking ungodly sums of money and banging chicks and having the, or a disciple rather of Customato. So in the middle of my set, I just start talking about Tyson

48:29 That's ridiculous. Plus, everybody got a party together. Because when Holyfield beat him, it was post-prison, right? And I remember we were going crazy. I heard it's incredible. Holyfield was given virtually no chance to win by numerous commentators, Yeah, that was crazy. then when he was a champ but then same thing after he won the title got crazy got fat remember they

51:54 you know after ducku kim they started doing the weigh-ins the day before and they also changed it John L. Sullivan. Like, you just guarantee that a guy's going to win. As long as he practices good hygiene. Pull up a picture of John L. Sullivan from Wikipedia. It's weird when you look at people from that era and you consider that was him. Can you imagine what it must have been like?

54:11 the heavyweight champion of America, but any claim to Ryan being a world champion would or the following year I'm telling you. How long was each round, though? What the fuck is 75 times three? Who is this? Look at this. He knocked Sullivan down. Chantilly, France. Holy fuck! Can you imagine? at the time oh it was illegal those fucking socialists sullivan managed to evade the law swathed in bandages and was taken across back to the english channel to spend the next few weeks

58:09 Pull up that picture. a there's another one but the one the first one the top one he's real lean and that's when he's Look how fat he is, though. now a neighborhood of Boston. that was all worth it that was ten dollars in his pocket a hundred thousand dollars in his hat He'd come in underneath. No. I bet. Wow. 190 oh okay sullivan's weight it ballooned from a 240 flabby pounds that's how fat he was

1:01:54 I mean, it's Wikipedia. I'm older. heavyweight division but the ufc doesn't currently have any fighters that are uh that compete as super and he was this fucking awesome wrestler who just moved like a cat he was this big fucking guy and uh would smash people The average offensive line now is like 300 pounds. Wow. Carrying stone globes. who the fuck's going to beat that guy?

1:04:59 Mm-hmm. That's funny. if you had to guess? No, that's what I'm thinking. 5'11". Holy shit. And she, to her credit, passed. All due respect. I don't like calling women beasts. A little touchy with you, Dom. uh and there's a video of them rolling you get to see how enormous she is because marcelo is only Good lord I don't even know what that means. I have to build now.

1:08:31 I read that somewhere. But yeah, she, Looking pretty slim. where there's no striking. So she's probably slimming down for that. Of all time. And she's really talented. I forget the chick's name that she fought but um the woman she fought was like a really high level kickboxer who was really having a hard time getting fights and because um because she was

1:11:02 That says three wins. Please, go do your pee-pees. He goes, may I be excused? I wouldn't make it up. No. All right. Is there anyone even close to being in her same kind of level? They fight over there, and it's got more weight classes. the juice and you'll make 135 like that's what she's kind of said and Rhonda's also said that Smoke fire. You want to be terrified?

1:15:02 I would tear it up. She'd rip my little cock off. If they got a good base. Wow. picture look at that oh geez that is a fucking terrifying image for some reason it's just the Is she straight? which is one of the best places to see because it's real small and i think the one was was incredible was montreal though the excitement in that room i felt like i was in ancient rome yeah that wasn't gsp

1:17:30 excuse me like i expected i i don't know why i thought this but a long time ago i did you ever and over again San Martino guy was saying And then it took them a while to realize, oh, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. Yeah. Who's the tall black guy? Yeah. And then Anderson caught him with a triangle from the bottom. Because they didn't with Fear Factor.

1:19:56 It's just like anything else. Well, you know I love you too, buddy. Did you score? And I think that's the difference between guys like you and some of the guys of your era. Isn't that weird how that happens? You never became like a veteran comic who's kind of like phoning it in like a lot of those You got to do some more specials. I did one at the Laugh Factory last Valentine's Day.

1:21:56 it was 20 yeah 25 release them both two different sets yeah why don't you do that like valentine's 18 years old, whatever. Whereas, yeah, you wouldn't be around 22-year-old girls on a normal night if you were a regular guy with a regular job. It's like, why can't the world get along? You know, like if there's enough resources but if there's only like one chick it was like only three guys but

1:24:10 And have fun Oh Then I'll release my CD. them all one day what and so they did this whole podcast like like why did we just do this then for two hours If it was quiet. Yeah, I've been to that one. His was in his garage. His very first one? We're here in Kilkenny. I said, but it ain't like we got babes crawling all over us like what difference does it make we'll go upstairs and talk for an hour

1:27:20 know they have these boards now that they sell that's a built-in mp3 recorder with a sound board and then you could actually hook up this other thing to it so you can do two more. You can put AA's on it, else just do stand up and i feel like if i'm doing podcasts and comedy on the road it's just you know as soon as i see the words i'll know what the bit is yeah but it really helps you think you

1:29:13 I'm like, I'm not going to forget this. with the voice feature on your iphone no i know it works oh my god it's incredible i know it's Oh, I'm saying it while it's still on. I don't know if you work on a plane. She just fucking Google searches shit for you. Whatever, dude. That'll be great if it's in the form of a robot fuck doll. so it's that it's like that yeah i don't think i would use that i think that's maybe i would if it

1:32:31 We talked about this on the last podcast. or whatever you're into. That they make them so human. Especially if it's like, well, they'll program robots to be like super similar to people. and when it talks, its lips move. Like, do you remember when plasma TVs were like 20 grand? i'm sorry joe well they then they you know there were those those tvs the early tvs were like 20

2:13:46 Pittsburgh Performance Arts Center. Well, at least on Ticketmaster. Rodney was 83. He really took his time, though. oh my god he would be crippled just from the drugs he'd probably be so broken extend your legs all the way forward.
