Starting point is 00:00:00 You're listening to the Joe Rogan Experience Review. What a bizarre thing we've created. Now with your host, Adam Thorne. This might either be the worst podcast, for the best one a long time. One, go. Enjoy the show. Hey, guys, and welcome to another episode of the J.R.E. Review. I'm Adam, joined, as always, by Brandon.
Starting point is 00:00:21 Thank you for being here, buddy. Great to be here on the Day of the Rapture. Yeah. Is it today? it's today yeah oh shit i was not aware i wasn't on my calendar yeah i'm afraid that we're gonna lose rogan because he's been going to church we might have to turn this into like that theo vaughn podcast review or something oh yeah yeah theo's gonna hang out with us us heathens for a while or we can do the church of what's happening now review because that's not gonna do it's joey's not allowed to go to heaven
Starting point is 00:00:57 he just has to float around in between no man's land this week we are reviewing good old caratop also known as scott thompson um scott thompson i see why he's changed his name to caratop that's not a very exciting celebrity name but uh veteran prop com comedian he's like the prop comedian right i mean there's no others unless you count the puppet people yeah he is like the guy. I don't think there's, I really can't even think of another prop comic. But they used to be tons. Like in the 80s, there were tons of prop comics. And, you know, he's been to Las Vegas headliner for 16 years, resident performer at the Luxor Hotel and Casino. He's like a high energy, roided up, looking jacked redhead. And honestly,
Starting point is 00:01:55 he's underrated. Like he's been made fun of in the comedy world for a long time. He's funny, dude. Give him a chance. I mean, the people that I know that have gone to his shows really enjoyed it.
Starting point is 00:02:07 He seems like a nice guy. Second time he's been on Rogan and I'm a fan. I like his energy. He was funny on Kill Tony too. Did you see that? I did, yeah. And it worked really well
Starting point is 00:02:19 with the props and just him talking. And I know on Rogan he was talking about. I don't know. I don't want to bring the props up here, but Tony's like, you have to. And I'm glad he did. Because they're good. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:30 They're good, man. Really good. Yeah. Anyway, he's excellent. Yeah, let's talk about Patreon. Right. And what we got going on over there. So, yeah, we've been adding a lot on Patreon.
Starting point is 00:02:44 So if you don't know what our Patreon looks like, what we do is we record these podcast episodes on Zoom, which is what we're doing right now. so if you want to see the video form of this podcast you can go on patreon you can get these episodes and you can watch them there's no ads you get them the second we're done recording to so early access it really helps support the podcast we're also going to plan to do a lot more a lot of exclusive content we talked about some q&As potentially before we started recording this we have a lot plan so go and check it out right now you can become a free member and we have tears you can check out as well but we'd appreciate it and uh and in general thank you so much for listening to the
Starting point is 00:03:37 podcast wherever you're listening because it does mean a lot yeah and uh who's that who's that guy elephant what elephant elephant graveyard yeah who did yeah legend yes who did a critique on the rogan sphere And we've talked about maybe doing a review on that video. So that's something. Yeah, I mean, listen, I'm sure Rogan has some level of beef with him because he also gave quite a scathing review of Rogan's last comedy special. However, I believe that Rogan has a good sense of humor. And he's also humble enough to see a solid, you know, even.
Starting point is 00:04:22 harsh critique and learn from it and you know elephant just i don't know where he gets his dialogue how he narrates that whole thing with such kind of there's like this poetic beauty to it but i would love to go through it and uh and yeah cover someone what's going on i mean there's there's some real rogan sphere frustration and hate right now and you know it needs to be addressed and we're going do some videos on that for sure yeah and it's not even in the youtube commentary community it's like there's people in the like new york comedy scene right now who are being vocal about it people in l a so it's something definitely worth looking at and even rogan kind of addressed the uh elephant graveyard video in the episode he did with jordan like he kind of did he kind of didn't he did reference
Starting point is 00:05:21 he did see a video critiquing the Rogan's fear so um hopefully we get some more reactionary commentary from his point of view because i would love i would love to hear what he thinks about it because i know duncan trussle right now is getting a ton of hate from it um unreal and uh duncan elephant yeah elephant graveyard put out a statement saying hey uh please don't fucking send this guy death threats because that's what he's getting right now because of the whole peter teal thing and it's it is crazy man like a lot of the drama right now in the rogan sphere is just insane so there's a lot to talk about yeah yeah it is wild and you know it's just the reality of it i mean what are we here to do other than review what's going on on the show and in his world um you know it's just we got to cover some
Starting point is 00:06:20 things but anyway let's jump into let's jump into carrots up do you know that his net worth is calculated to be around 70 million that's fucking insane man
Starting point is 00:06:32 I can see no wonder people are hating on him dude no wonder people hate on him if I found out that I was I don't know Anthony Jezzanek or you know one of these guys
Starting point is 00:06:45 and you're just like you're a crisp clean excellent joke writer and you know you just crush always you're well regarded by other comedians and then you find out the guy that just pulls out freaking dildos from his box and makes jokes about it is worth 70 million yeah i mean yeah the guy who was a purse that measures dicks you know a dumb amount of money it's crazy and that's why a lot of people hate them you know i like honestly it's really not to see his redemption arc to see him actually like get to the point where he's like yeah it's just
Starting point is 00:07:25 nice that people don't fucking hate me and that like I'm actually being accepted by comics yeah and I think a lot of people you know at least the Rogan fans in the Rogan sphere have been going with shows you know that's like a destination now when you get to Vegas I would I would go watch him for sure same I would love to and same yeah good for him but however even with all the hate that he had been getting he still had that residency he still was making this money you know it was like he was even during the bad times was surviving in an interesting way and getting jacked guy's huge yeah and he didn't even mean to he just had so much time off he so he just started working out and then oh shit i'm a fucking bodybuilder whoops i didn't i didn't mean to take these
Starting point is 00:08:15 steroids but i don't blame like it makes sense because listen if i'm like shit face in bagas you know i just got blown by a prostitute i'm having the best time of my life i sit down i'm hammered some wacky guy goes on stage and he's bringing out all these pop like these props and crazy things i'm gonna have the best time my life you know so why not yeah why not it's like the perfect thing to go see when you've taken too much cocaine i would imagine yeah pro pro the perfect thing yeah to take cocaine too watch carrot top just like fucking rail some lines well didn't he say that he was on like um when they had him in the hangover movie um they they were just all hanging out and he was like this seems
Starting point is 00:09:03 boring we should be doing drugs which is ironic because he doesn't which really is what made that scene so fun because i knew he was like sober so it's like fun when a celebrity can make fun of themselves. Like, the same as Tyson did in that movie, right? They made him out to seem like an absolute lunatic. And maybe he is, but he isn't the guy in that movie. And that's kind of, that's fun that they did that for sure. Territop does look like someone who would like do so much coke. So I didn't even know he was sober. So like, I looked at him and I'm like, oh, he must have tried everything, but no. I think he, I think he had tried everything, but he, he, he, I think he slowed down.

Starting point is 00:10:56 It is interesting, though, like when you think of what it takes to get, like a residency in Vegas, they have a particular style, right? It's like cabaret stuff. It's got to be very flamboyant or performative. It's got to be a huge dance. even the singers that have been there you know think Elvis think it's like he was he was more than just
Starting point is 00:11:23 his songs right he was a show he'd wear like I don't what do you even call the suits he would wear it's like astronaut yeah just not a legend suits like yeah yes futuristic space suit I've always thought that like the best Vegas acts are the ones that like make the judges on America's Got Talent like come their pants because that's all that show pretty much is
Starting point is 00:11:50 like recruiting for Vegas and that's and you know America's got talent it's like all those crazy acts you get like like you know maybe not props but like a lot of like magic a lot of dancing
Starting point is 00:12:06 a lot of stuff that you would typically see in Vegas if carrot top you know like what got on america's got talent and no one knew who he was he would fucking destroy you know oh yeah because he's made for for a crowd like that you know like like the most general audience kind of show you can imagine um but it's cool that he has also kind of a darker side and he's he's willing to explore that um the dick cheney story he was telling on the podcast shows that and i honestly i think i prefer like dark carrot top more than like is his more family friendly side yeah yeah i know well i mean let's swear but but well he did say he swore that's why prince can go to his show oh yeah wasn't that yeah you're right you're
Starting point is 00:13:03 right but he doesn't typically like swear all the time right yeah i think he just wasn't he wasn't willing to like change his act too much i think there's like some x-rated is stuff you know that is making some jokes that are a bit you know uh risque it's it's yeah i guess in the you know when you put everything in retrospective because compared to like you know when you when we're talking about the rogan sphere like carrot tops a fucking like g rated act compared to everyone else we're talking about but yeah like you know i guess you're right there is swearing and like there is the whole dick measuring purse he has um like there there are some like dirty props but they're but they're not like
Starting point is 00:13:51 two on the nose it's not like there's like crazy ass really really edgy props like it's a it's a fine line yeah yeah he he knows what he's doing i mean he's uh he's done the same act or close to it for a long time. Like, it's crisp. It's clean. He knows what he's doing. And I'm sure those guys out there in Vegas, they, like, have you perform a lot. I don't know what those contracts entail, but it's, it's got to be five days a week type of thing. I mean, he's hammering it hours at a time. For the money, though, you know, sign me up. I do not care. I mean, listen, dude, as a stand-up, this is why when people are like Stavros recently, was getting mad at all the comedians
Starting point is 00:14:39 for going to like Saudi and doing stand up and being like you're all sellouts and they're all getting paid like 300, 400 grand each and it's like relax dude it's a fucking hard job to make money
Starting point is 00:14:55 in stand up it's like yeah maybe if you went to North Korea and you were doing stand up in front of like some of their concentration camps that would be pretty ugly but like Saudi buys a lot
Starting point is 00:15:11 of oil from the United States they're not people aren't mad at that they're not like oh America sucks it's like yeah we need oil they got stuff it is really crazy though that Bill Burr is doing it of all people who's like definitely the most like
Starting point is 00:15:27 liberal out of all of them and would be the they're probably paying him a million dollars for an hour's worth of work insane. Dude, it's so much that he's like, fucking whatever. Fuck my politics. Yeah, but also, who knows?
Starting point is 00:15:44 Dude, knowing Bill, he probably goes over there and just roast them. Yeah, he just roast them the whole time. That would, that's if he wants to one up the Philly rant, that's what he has to do. That would be one of the most legendary things. He would get beheaded soon after or thrown off.
Starting point is 00:16:00 Dude, I wouldn't put it past him. I mean, Tim Dillon's going over that and they freaking stone gay people to death. Dude, he just got dropped like yesterday oh he did why fired yeah because he said something on his podcast he was like critiquing them he's he was like he said something like uh he's like they have the best slaves over there you know if you do have slaves they have the best ones he said something like that and his and his manager like called him panicking he's like dude you can't say that i think they're going to drop us and he got dropped no shit yeah no more yeah tim dillon you know well
Starting point is 00:16:34 I mean, it is interesting. I mean, a few Jewish comedians are going over there, which is interesting. I mean, I don't know what to think about that. It's like, all right, I guess. You know who's going over there? Pete Davidson. Is he really? That's interesting.
Starting point is 00:16:51 His dad died on 9-11. You think out of everybody. He did so. Well, the Saudis only allegedly did it. Yeah. And if, you know, it's only allegedly if you get paid a good amount of money. Oh, no way, they did. It was Israel again.
Starting point is 00:17:13 Should we actually put that in our intro music? Just start with the word, all of this is allegedly, just so we get out of all trouble of anything that we say during the podcast. Because we can just point back to that and be like, well, we said allegedly. I think that would be a great thing. then we can say whatever we want you know it's like yeah imagine if it was that easy i know right even rogan's like i'm a comic my my things on here shouldn't even you know be taken into fact where it's like oh they use that against them yeah we should get the the like you know that but times too yeah because we're talking about rogan's way less important
Starting point is 00:17:55 yeah and we're even stupider than here so we're doing our best just that we're just like two fucking apes get stone talking about rogan so but that's crazy wondering what's going on on the world yeah yeah it is it is and also it's like you know what maybe it's their effort to like kind of join a bit of the like western world it's like get some comedians out there i know the king or prince or one of the guys is like started to have raves out there and big concerts and things they never used to do that you know it's like hey come back and join I mean, you know, don't worry about all these strict rules. Like, come back and start having some fun.
Starting point is 00:18:37 You got loads of money. Like, why not just start having a blast? And then we can all just chill out a little bit. It just seems like interesting time to do that. It does. I think maybe we should go out there and, like, do some open mics or something. We can bark for the festival. Yeah, good luck, mate.
Starting point is 00:18:59 You can do it. Yeah. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not even going to try. So I just want to say this, you know, to bring this back to Carrot Top. He's a great hang. He's someone I would totally, totally, like, love to hang out with. He just seems so chill. Just such a cool, you know. He seems very humble, doesn't he? Yeah, he does, you know?
Starting point is 00:19:25 Yeah. He doesn't seem to take himself too seriously. Mm-hmm. maybe share a beer with him you know it just seems like the perfect drinking guy I know I I I can fantasize you know
Starting point is 00:19:41 I'd just be mean you getting drunk and he can sit there so showing us his props but yeah he just he doesn't seem like an asshole he definitely doesn't seem like overly bitter about the hate that he's got
Starting point is 00:19:56 obviously he's done very well for himself And I think he really appreciates, you know, just Joe wanted to hang with him. He was, like, super thankful that he's back on the pod. And those things are great, man. It's solid stuff. Yeah, it was cool hearing him just, like, talk about his dad who like... Oh, working for NASA? Yeah, like, that was really cool.
Starting point is 00:20:26 Yeah. Well, he, one of the best lines. was if my dad was still alive, he'd punch you when talking to Rogan about not getting the space. And I love how Rogan, even though that was a hypothetical and Carrot Top's dad was dead, Rogan still had to defend it with like, oh, I'd move, I'd dodge it. And it's like, okay. It's like, all right. You know, maybe you never know, maybe. We got you. Maybe maybe Caratop's dad like studied martial arts on the side like you don't know joe well i would say zero chance if i had to without even knowing anything about caratops dad i mean one you work in nassar you're a
Starting point is 00:21:12 nerd two good luck fucking being broken up like no just no dude he is like he studied so many um jihitsu uh m manta yeah there it's it's it's kickboxing it keeps going there's there's no way you'll have to call in rambo or something yeah yeah i mean people on reddit with calling it jealousy like from rogan almost like he's jealous that that guy worked for nassas and believes in the whole thing it's like but you know what red it's like dude it just it's just a cesspool of it is it's a cesspool but i'm glad it exists because it's so fun it is fun the kill tony reddit is the best like that is just a pure bloodbath but rogan you
Starting point is 00:22:06 is it really oh my god dude if if you want to just see the most critical angry miserable people they just hate kill tony or what yeah they hate it they're like the show fell off uh five years ago i watch every week all the regulars suck like it's so funny because it's like these people hate the show so much that they just watch it all the time and they have so much to say it's like do you really hate the show at that right um well i mean it was like the like the um fighter and the kid stuff they what they call them the angry cats i mean they just got to a point with with um brandon and it was just brutal dude you know i mean honestly just like elephant graveyard we should do we should do a few videos on patreon about like the the um uh brandon hate online like
Starting point is 00:23:06 brandon job is dude people are so mad at him we're if we do that so mad dude we're gonna have to make like an eight hour documentary like that's a that's an insane feat that the amount of hate i don't think there's a single comedian he is the modern day caratop there is not a well rogan brought it up dude when uh i can't remember who was on who was who was that female comedian god i should remember this was it jordan uh Whitney Whitney was on Cummings yeah and um and she was trying to say something about if you've seen this guy who's the most hated guy on the internet right now i do i don't know who she was talking about like maybe
Starting point is 00:23:54 Andrew Tate or someone and then he goes he goes who he goes she said the name and then Rogan was like oh Brendan Shalb just went whew
Starting point is 00:24:04 and then they just crack out laughing and I mean just the fact and they both laugh so hard so everyone's aware of it but the fact that Rogan's even willing to kind of bring that up
Starting point is 00:24:17 is like he's keeping some sense of humor I mean look he's still protecting his friend but i just don't understand the energy behind it like the energy is so hard behind brendan sharp hate that the videos that they make about him get 10 times as many views as anything he himself puts out and they still can't stop yeah they still can't stop crushing him dude it's it's so funny it's almost comical the amount of just like blind hate he gets and it's the same
Starting point is 00:24:52 that are just like driven like it's not like every video is like I feel like this isn't been brought up so I'm going to talk about this it is the same fucking points of this guy's a hack he sucks his his material is terrible like it's all the same stuff
Starting point is 00:25:09 it's really like just funny because it's just it's so just insane it's so absurd it goes with it he made millions of dollars of social media millions still does because his instagram's big even though nobody watches this podcast it's it's like just like carrot top faced he's made a lot of money too but you put yourself out there
Starting point is 00:25:37 you get big enough and then you do some things that people don't care for you're going to take some shit for it it's part of the show and you got to take the ups with the downs i mean It's all about the type of exposure you want to give yourself. Me personally, I'm not willing to do it. I'm not going to get close. I mean, I will never be as popular as them. Though, to be fair, our podcast was bigger than Fighter and the Kid for a long time. I just could never do the video in that way.
Starting point is 00:26:14 And, yeah, for good reason, dude. I don't want a Reddit thread. You know what I mean? it's like no I don't even if I don't look at it it still exists in the universe I just don't want to make anyone
Starting point is 00:26:30 that mad yeah too much work dude I welcome it I get hate all the time from who's who's hating on my neighbors you know my doctor it never ends
Starting point is 00:26:43 just bullshit my family you're dermatologist yeah I feel like my family has like their own subreddit about me you know just like just get out of my house um working on it here's the thing though man with with carrot top and like you know the comparison with shop is that people hated carrot top because of the props not like the thing
Starting point is 00:27:13 is it's hard for shop because he's a stand up it's not that the art form is hack that was the issue in the 80s and shit it was like oh is his his whole stick is a as a hack where people have come around be like you know what he actually like puts a lot of thought in these props and they're really funny uh but job it's like you know the people he's competing with it's a it's a hard fucking game you know and i think if he if he really wants to prove himself he should be cutting his fucking teeth he should be really right and he should be yeah running bits by people all the time he should be like popping up in rooms doing guest spots to try material he should be putting the fucking you know acts of the grind like really going for it that's what you have to do
Starting point is 00:27:59 you know and he can't be doing what rogan's doing a rogan talks about on this episode where he's like yeah i hate touring i just do my club you know which hey at that point you know you have a shit ton of money do whatever the fuck you want you know fair enough but rogan doesn't have anything to prove but i also i don't think it's going to make his future specials better than if he faces those audiences that are like boo you're dumb i mean look i'm sure he hasn't had those for a while he's been popular for a long time but his club is a very safe place right and he's always talked about like hitting the road going to the places that are ugly and you know i Just look, like, it's not even my critique of it, but like, look at the reviews on its last special.
Starting point is 00:28:52 I mean, you know, and many of the people that I spoke to that I was like, did you, often they, they didn't even get through the whole thing. And they're Rogan fans. It's like, that's saying something. Especially because he was doubling down. He was like, oh, I had it all through COVID. It's like my cleanest, crispest stuff. Yeah. He's like, I've been working on this for six years.
Starting point is 00:29:18 And then he repeats a bit. In my opinion, it was, yeah, he repeats a bit. He does a bit that, like, Brendan actually did about having gay friends or, like, wishing he was just gay and hanging out with his boys. And it just, I don't know. It just honestly didn't even seem like Rogan. I've seen him so many times live at the comedy store. I used to go to stand up on the spot all the time.
Starting point is 00:29:43 I used to love throwing out topics when Rogan was up there, and he would just, he is good at stand-up. I know people have their own opinions, they don't care for his specials, like that, you know, if they're being haters or they're just whatever. But I'm telling you, he's good at this. I've seen a lot of comics do work. I studied it. I really enjoyed it. He is good. And, you know, that last special just was not his strongest work.
Starting point is 00:30:11 I have a friend in L.A. and she was passed at the store and her best friend actually dated Rogan when when Rogan is at the store and she was telling me she was like Rogan was a fucking murderer like at the store he like when he was on
Starting point is 00:30:31 he would fucking bring the house down and it's like a part of me is like it sucks that I miss that because I don't see that when I watch this special. Yeah. Dude, I've seen it so many times on stand-up on the spot. And when he's been working on his, like, hour with those 25-minute slots that they give you at the comedy store, it's like in the main room. Yeah, he's like up there. He's doing great. It's like his stuff. He's good, right? He holds his own for sure amongst like some of the best. And Bill Burke could be on that card, Joey Diaz, Chris the Leah back in the day before, you know, he was a rapist. or crushing it in their own right. You know, Tom's a girl would go up.
Starting point is 00:31:16 It was just like a night of honestly killers. And but when we used to get to stand up on the spot, Jeremiah Watkins show, we'd go up there. Brian would often get me in because they would sell out or I'd forget to buy my tickets. They were always cool with me getting there. And, you know, it's like the improv showed up. And almost no one ever stood out like Rogan did.
Starting point is 00:31:40 I mean that was a brave show to do he didn't need to do that shit he didn't need to put himself up there few major comics did that show and definitely didn't do it consistently Rogan did it every time it was on and yeah there were just some gems that never made his act
Starting point is 00:32:00 they were you know jokes that he told one time and that's it and he would just he'd find a story for it man he just didn't let anything get in his way with it it was very cool what do you think happened who knows i mean it was well think about it was covid so he wasn't performing took a long break off um even though he had the act for a long time um COVID made him pretty salty over the whole LA thing over the whole transition he went through that CNN
Starting point is 00:32:39 thing with ivermectin i mean there was some real challenges for him and he had to move there was a lot going on in his life and also he's getting bigger and bigger like he's going through the freaking you know stratosphere with fame so that probably does something in its own way and then he's at his club and it's everyone just kind of on a pilgrimage you know kissing his ass in that sense and you know and it's still a legit club i i don't mean that he's not training while he's out there and doing work and like yeah it's amazing and if he if he does if he tells a joke that sucks like the audience won't laugh i mean you still got to work at it but there is something different that's like playing home field advantage, I mean, for sure.
Starting point is 00:33:35 And on top of that, I think the big thing was it was like one of the first live performances, if you remember, for Netflix. So it was like at some place in Houston, it was a live performance. So it wasn't usually what they do is two or three nights and they splice them together. And they pick the best bits and the best jokes. and that night he just had to go straight through it and who knows
Starting point is 00:34:04 maybe it just wasn't quite as night I mean it's hard to say dude there's so much going on with stand-up there's so much pressure there is it almost feels unfair
Starting point is 00:34:15 to like critique it because I know how hard it is but there's also a reality to it as well it's like hey when you go to watch Michael Jordan player
Starting point is 00:34:25 you want the best dunks and the best plays like I don't care that you had a tough week with your bookie right it's like show up perform make it happen well you know he always had this like bill hicks thing going on when he was in l a of this like conspiracy theory the like like constantly punching up where now he's like working with trump he's like in the government he has the biggest podcast ever
Starting point is 00:35:00 he's almost in his own version of a Hollywood bubble at this point with a lot of his guests he's hanging out with and then the same comics and stand-up comes from like real-life experiences you know and unfortunately you can't really get a ton of those because of the amount of bodyguards he has
Starting point is 00:35:19 he really has to be careful anything he does everything that he plans to do is kind of in a controlled environment but it's like I kind of do wish he really like talked more about himself like dealing with that talking about hunting maybe like a joke about the podcast because there's so many like other experiences he's had in life but I don't know man it's like I could never picture myself in that position it's so unique and he he doesn't yeah I mean dude he can he can he can fucking text a monk Zuckerberg
Starting point is 00:35:56 like straight up if there's like an Instagram issue he has he can text it and Mark is like I'll figure this out yeah I know this to be true I know people that know
Starting point is 00:36:12 Rogan that have had issues with IG and they have sent me the fucking thread dude and then their accounts were reinstated like imagine that
Starting point is 00:36:25 He can also just be like Elon what's going on with these aliens like he can the access that he has is unbelievable and I think what's going to happen very soon even though Spotify is not figured this out yet
Starting point is 00:36:41 they're about to like figure out perfect AI translation so it matches what he's saying his tone everything and it sounds like Rogan but it's in a different language imagine how that's going to open up for
Starting point is 00:36:58 I mean there's there's bros the world over he might be the most popular person in Russia in like five years I feel like that place is full of pros smelling salt sales will go through the roof yeah like it's it's crazy to think about that are you saying we're investing in smelling salts
Starting point is 00:37:20 I think we need to let's put all our money in there let's get in early it's like our bitcoin let's get in real early the smelly the salts the better smelling salt coin let's do it yeah i think it but i think it's true i think that people are going to be really interested the world over and right now it is reasonable to say it's limited to people to speak english but there is a reason he picks up so much um momentum with especially men in this country It speaks to us all men.
Starting point is 00:37:58 Yeah. You know, for whatever it is, doesn't make it fun hanged. Yeah. If you got no bros, one of the best things you can do is just, you know, listen to a Rogan. Then you feel like you got some bros. King bro. King bro, you know. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:15 He's a king bro, dude. Like, I also want to say, you know, connecting to your point about, like, who, like, you know, how he could just, like, hit up anybody. He was talking about on an episode where he's like, yeah, I think I'm going to talk to the big guy about like getting weed legal everywhere. Who the fuck? What's fucking celebrity ever had that power of like, yeah, I'm going to go hit up the president. And because this is just, it's annoying having weed illegal here.
Starting point is 00:38:40 So I'm just going to hit him up. Kanye had it before Rogan. Yeah. Kanye and Trump would tell you. That is true. That is true. So Kanye went full. Well, listen to his last album.
Starting point is 00:38:52 Yeah. it's a little controversial i've heard but it's it's something else um but you're right when does that leave us you know but but in terms of like um someone who is like Trump might listen to like a media guy like a news like a modern news guy like it's just crazy it really is because that's like you know didn't what's that like Elvis hung out with Nixon or whatever Like, it's happy with musicians, but this is like, you know, a personal relationship with someone like Rogan is insane. Imagine if the one thing that he says he wants to do moving forward is federally legalized weed. That's like, it's only platform.
Starting point is 00:39:41 He's just like, I'm still going to do the show, but I've got this one agenda and I want to make this a reality and gets it done. This, I mean, oh, my. And goodness, that is a wild achievement, you know. I mean, literally when he was born, it was like massively illegal. And slowly over time, just doing a stoner podcast, if anyone had said, like, imagine traveling back in time, 2009, the podcast is brand new. You go to see Rogan and you'll just like, hey, real quick, this silly thing you do at your house, will not only make you one of the most famous people that
Starting point is 00:40:26 ever lived, you will elect presidents with it, and you will get weed legalized. Like, what? I'd be like, yeah, whatever, fucking pass me that joint, all right? Yeah, I wouldn't believe it for a second. You'd be like, I'm too stone for this. I'm way too stone for this.
Starting point is 00:40:45 Yeah, I want to believe it for a second. But I think if Trump makes weed legal, that's the win he needs. The Epstein files, the whole, did you see the whole thing where Tylenol causes autism, which you know, I did look in the cabinet this morning and I do have Tylenol so fuck, I guess it does explain
Starting point is 00:41:02 a lot. That explains it. That explains why I know every Godzilla movie. It's like, yeah, he needs a win. Make, why I can draw the entire city of Manhattan just from my memory with pencil.
Starting point is 00:41:17 It's like, yeah, fully autistic. Yeah. It took a lot of time. check check that fucking medicine cabinet dude i don't even know what to think anymore man well hey how many minutes how many minutes we in on this bitch um i think uh we are about time to wrap up i think we we got like a couple more minutes i just want to say nice that uh just want to like we we talked about this off air but we have We have to talk about this, dude. The soulful AI version of the 50 Cent Many Men song.
Starting point is 00:42:04 Oh, shit, yeah. How do we forget this? Amazing. Like, insane, man. And I've seen it. Where do you find that song? Do you know where it is? I cannot find it.
Starting point is 00:42:16 It's not on YouTube? It should be on YouTube. I don't know. I swore I found it on YouTube. I shazammed it with... No, it should be on YouTube. All that AI stuff is... Dude, there's some great country ones.
Starting point is 00:42:35 There's like... There's like Marty Robbins, that like 50s country singer, like singing straight out of Compton. Like, there's just some really, really funny stuff. Like, Johnny Cash doing Baby Got Back. Love it. see if you can find the link to that
Starting point is 00:42:55 and put it in the bio for this episode just so people can enjoy it because I will you know if you can I mean don't work too hard people can look it up themselves but it was so good dude
Starting point is 00:43:10 it really is one of like the best songs I'm like oh my god I think artists could go back and do I mean I feel like you could do some incredible Nirvana songs with like a different style you know from the past right
Starting point is 00:43:27 it's just like there's so dude if you like I've gone down this rabbit hole there is so much amazing crazy AI blending out there like this is just the tip of the iceberg there's like yeah death metal songs that they they make sound like it's duop like it is insane
Starting point is 00:43:49 hilarious it yeah it's it's so funny but it like works and this is like a great example of like damn like I feel like with some of these rappers when they get older I'd love for them to like go in this direction because it works so well like a soul rendition of their stuff it's like listen if you can't walk anymore and you're just like fucking
Starting point is 00:44:11 old and you don't want to rap and you're more just soul music and jazz now it's like fuck it combine the two this is I would love to see this actually done uh the problem is that uh some of these AI renders especially when you're doing soulful stuff i feel like you lose that element of feel because it is a fucking robot putting this together but just great just like really awesome stuff it was so cool to hear that i was like oh damn i couldn't believe how good it was dude the video is amazing as well it'd be interesting to see you know what this turns into i mean i would like to believe that forget netflix forget
Starting point is 00:44:55 any sort of uh streaming platform you just basically have a prompt and it's like what type of movie would you like to watch and you go right i would like to do predator um combined with terminator um but i would like the rock in it and i would like lean out of decaprio and somehow put like a Titanic element in there but I want like a hardcore techno remix soundtrack and Jim carries the mask yeah of course
Starting point is 00:45:27 well of course it just like puts it all together and it just like somehow works and then it just keeps learning what gets you pumped because it's like tied into your Fitbit or your smart watch
Starting point is 00:45:40 and it just knows like how into the movie you are based on the different bits that it's done so it just makes even more perfect shit while robots do all the work for us and let me just sit on the couch forever now that is that's the future that is the complete
Starting point is 00:46:00 the only like I love art you know I love seeing what people make I will never argue that when it comes to porn though I think that's a great idea I think that needs to be worked on but that is just the future of put your headset on and just let us just run dopamine through you for 24 hours you know
Starting point is 00:46:22 but that's where we're going you just you just keep pushing a button until your finger falls off you just all oh it's amazing you don't even know why you're happy just give me 10 sequels of the mask you know and I'll sit here forever I love it well hey that was a great episode with a carrot top who looked like Tiger King I actually thought the Tiger King was on this episode when I saw the thumbnail, but it was good stuff.
