Now I'm excited for this episode of the JRE review because I will be reviewing the conversation between Joe Rogan and Theo Vaughn in episode 1225. Theo is one of my favorite comedians and over the last few years it's just been

blowing up and not just that his comedy has improved so much as well. I mean he is just another level of silliness. This conversation really shows that there's so many hilarious parts. I mean when it comes to a funny guest on the Rogan podcast, I don't know if there's anyone else that really pulls it out of Joe. These two are just absolutely hilarious. I mean of course Diaz is very funny when he's on and Tom and Bert Krecher and Ari and but you know this is just something so random and so silly about Theo. Absolutely love it and yeah let's get to reviewing. Welcome to the Joe Rogan Experience Review! Where each week I review every single episode of the Joe Rogan experience.

What more do you want? So in this episode we're talking about Joe Rogan's conversation with Theo Vaughn. Theo is one of the funniest stand-up comedians around today. I truly believe it. He's absolutely superb. Has been improving greatly over the last three, four years, especially in the last two years. Has a Netflix special out, definitely worth watching, and a fantastic podcast as well, where he has pretty legit guests. He's had Jordan Peterson on and even though Theo is kind of a silly person, he really does ask some good questions and has for a very entertaining show definitely. And anytime Theo is on with Joe, it's absolutely hilarious for

sure. He's really is such a great dude. He gets off to a great start talking about how he wants 8 an hour, which Joe may have reminded him might be a legal, which then Fio kind of denies, but carries on with the silliness just saying that it doesn't have any meat on it. He found it quite funny. He said you'd never feed a family of four with awl meat. I don't know. Is anyone eat an owl? Is that a thing? People eat owl? Seems like a lot of work to even catch an owl. I don't know how serious he was about that, but I'm pretty sure he's from either like Alabama, Louisiana or something like that. So, I don't know too much about those areas, but there's a good chance that you'd have

to eat our, is my gross generalization of that. Joe talks a lot about his early days of comedy. I mean, that's really a theme with the podcast too, and it's really cool to hear other comedians, younger comedians like Theo, I think Theo's like 38, and their perspective of what it's like to work through the comedy world today. I mean, Theo's obviously coming at it, you know, 15 plus years later than Joe, maybe 20 years later than Joe, and it has a bit of a different

perspective of club owners performing and being on the road. Their paths have been slightly different, but at the same time it's so incredibly hard. And to hear both their take on it and how they got kind of where they are and how they work through their challenges is really inspiring. Not just if you're into comedy and you want to be a stand up, but if you're into anything that's very difficult, these types of stories are the things that you'll want to grab onto and find parallels in so you can apply it to the challenges that you're doing. They do talk about what it takes to be liked in the standout world and being that it's a very kind of selective community,

really what you have to be is funny and fun to be around. I mean obviously you have to be funny because you're a stand-up and no one's going gonna put up with that. And fun to be around is a big part of just kind of any social group. I think that through the years stand up comedy's been a little cutthroat. So nowadays it's really looked down on if you come in with a negative attitude and you want to kind of crush other people. It works out much better if everyone's kind of on the same page helping each other and just making for a really fun environment. Which is what these guys talk a lot about at the Comedy Store.

Is that camaraderie and how it's just, you know, that much fun to kind of hang out over there. It's a very accepting environment too. So, again, as long as you meet that criteria, you can be any kind of person and they're gonna take you on. Theo talks a little bit about dating apps with Joe, gets into that. I don't think he's dating too much. He says he doesn't like dating apps. What do you guys think of dating apps? Dating apps are a bit of a nightmare. He's 38 so he's probably looking to kind of settle

down a little bit. Maybe not, but I mean he is somewhat famous so maybe Maybe he wants to play the field a little bit More hard to say, but he struggled with dating apps like many people have. I'm sure in his position You know being a stand-up that gets a lot of notoriety He's probably not maybe attracting the right people and he struggles with that. But then he was also saying that it doesn't seem to come a lot either.

I didn't really get what I had to do with anything, but it was funny as hell. And then Joe starts talking about how, just imagine if any animal could get any other animal pregnant. And that is like one of the weirdest things I've ever heard somebody say, but it was interesting to think of, right? Imagine if like, you know, humans could get pigs, pregnant a cow and a pig, a bear and a lion. I mean, if every type of sperm could just create a new species, and then they just go into this

for a while and you can imagine those two are just riffing on some nonsense. They even talk about ari shafiya, maybe getting a certain type of pre-e-fish pregnant and it's like half ari, half fish, which is a very funny thing to think about. Then after Fiya went on for a bit, Joe said, you know what, I'd really like to see the world through your eyes. And what Joe was getting out there is just that Theo is so silly and so odd. That to be able to see the world as Theo does and just kind of point out these really bizarre off-the-cuff observations would kind of be fun but then Joe suggested that he might have to send the order of a hospital of which Theo jumped back at Joe saying that he's far more extraterrestrial and it was just a funny little exchange. Those guys are silly throughout this whole podcast which makes it so fun to listen to. And then the conversation stays silly but kind of gets into something,

it has a bit more meat to it. They talk a little bit about what to do if you come across a sexual predator. So say you were kind of jogging in the park and someone's in there doing something, joking off or whatever. What do you do? Do you just run on? Do you ignore it? That's a question you used to think about. It could happen, right? Do you just leave it to the next person who's there? Or do you say something? You know, do you get another guy's attention and say, Hey, we can't have this dude doing this. What happens if some kids walk along? And then you call the cops and do whatever you need to do that. It's a weird question. I never thought about it. I don't know what to do. I guess I guess

that same thing. You can't just allow that to go on. They finish up the podcast with a couple of points which are really quite good and something that goes into universal basic income. If you have listened to Rogan's podcast before you know, some what about it, Rogan's kind of into it. He's actually having an economist on soon to talk about it. We get more into it. But it's called a here Theo and Joe's kind of take on it and Theo obviously hasn't heard a lot about it. So he's coming at it from a real layman perspective. But at the same time, it's maybe how a lot of people will understand that issue when it comes up.

And lastly, they finish just talking about the legends of comedy, people like Lenny Bruce and George Carlin, who both went to jail for their stand-up for cussing and basically fighting for what they believe in. They went through a lot and paved the way for Joe and Theo to be the types of stand-ups that they are today. And then for whatever reason, Theo just starts talking about cheers again and how much people can cheers because that's Theo and he's a lunatic.

But it's a great podcast. It really is. It's a lot of fun. Check it out. And guys, really appreciate it. Thanks for listening. Thanks again for listening and this review was brought to you by Inca Booch Can Boocher. Go to Incabooch.com to order your drinks today!
