                                        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,
                                         
    
                                        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.
                                         
    
                                        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
                                         
    
                                        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.

                                        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.
                                         
    
                                        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

                                        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
                                         
    
                                        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.
                                         
    
                                        Yeah, he got his fill, you know.

                                        even the singers that have been there you know think Elvis think it's like he was he was more than just
                                         
    
                                        his songs right he was a show he'd wear like I don't what do you even call the suits he would

                                        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
                                         
    
                                        like recruiting for Vegas
                                         
                                        and that's
                                         
                                        and you know America's got talent

                                        a lot of dancing
                                         
    
                                        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
                                         
    
                                        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 he really?
                                         
                                        That's interesting.
                                         
    
                                        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.
                                         
    
                                        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

                                        the like you know that but times too yeah because we're talking about rogan's way less important
                                         
    
                                        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

                                        I mean, you know, don't worry about all these strict rules.
                                         
                                        Like, come back and start having some fun.
                                         
    
                                        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.
                                         
    
                                        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?
                                         
    
                                        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
                                         
    
                                        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
                                         
    
                                        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.
                                         
    
                                        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

                                        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

                                        it's like just like carrot top faced he's made a lot of money too but you put yourself out there
                                         
    
                                        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.
                                         
    
                                        And, yeah, for good reason, dude.
                                         
                                        I don't want a Reddit thread.

                                        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
                                         
    
                                        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.
                                         
    
                                        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.
                                         
    
                                        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.
                                         
    
                                        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.
                                         
    
                                        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
                                         
    
                                        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.
                                         
    
                                        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.
                                         
    
                                        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
                                         
    
                                        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
                                         
    
                                        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.
                                         
    
                                        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
                                         
    
                                        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
                                         
    
                                        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

                                        of a Hollywood bubble at this point

                                        because of the amount of bodyguards he has
                                         
    
                                        he really has to be careful anything he does
                                         
                                        everything that he plans to do

                                        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

                                        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
                                         
    
                                        I think we need to
                                         
                                        let's put all our money in there
                                         
                                        let's get in early

                                        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.
                                         
    
                                        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.

                                        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?

                                        And because this is just, it's annoying having weed illegal here.
                                         
    
                                        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.
                                         
    
                                        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.
                                         
    
                                        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
                                         
    
                                        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.

                                        techno remix soundtrack
                                         
                                        and Jim carries the mask
                                         
                                        yeah of course
                                         
    
                                        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
                                         
    
                                        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
                                         
    
                                        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
                                         
    
                                        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.
