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 Thorn. This might be the worst podcast for the best one a long time. One. Go. Enjoy the show. Hey, guys, welcome to another episode of the J.R.E. Review.
Starting point is 00:00:18 My name is Adam, joined as always by Brandon. What's going on, buddy? Nothing much, man. Had maybe one too many to drink last night. Played a lot of pool. as a you know one of one of rogan's favorite sports yeah yeah if you know he's one of the i'm all right i'm all right you know give me give me a couple vodka crayons and i can sink a couple in it's a fun game dude and you know it's it's a bit like stand up in that way it's like there's kind
Starting point is 00:00:48 of nothing better than just having that one game that just runs the table even though you know your next nine you just completely sink It's just something very satisfying about being in that zone, I think. Yeah, and it's like stand up because, like, you know, you get on a good streak. And then, you know, the guy at the bar with the ripped t-shirt, you know, calls next game and just fucking wipes the floor with you. And then you are quitting. I'm never doing this again.
Starting point is 00:01:17 I'm never coming back. And then you turn to drugs. Exactly. And here we are. There we go. Well, didn't Rogan, say that a lot of those pull guys did a bunch of speed
Starting point is 00:01:32 that was like the thing I think it was before Adderall so it was like uppers like you had to do and then he had some friends that did heroin and we'll get a pull and he's like huh everyone has the worst style
Starting point is 00:01:46 I guess yeah it doesn't make sense feel like fall asleep anyway this week we are reviewing Andrew Santino episode September the 23rd came out.
Starting point is 00:02:00 So everyone knows, Andrew. He's been on like seven times. 42 years old. Chicago born. You know, he's an actor, a podcaster. He's sharp. I like him. He's kind of deadpaned too, a little bit.
Starting point is 00:02:17 Like, he's hard to break. I've seen him perform dozens of times at the comedy store. and always good but he always could hold his own with the top brass and I mean to be fair when I was watching him
Starting point is 00:02:35 this was 2018 2019 he wasn't anywhere as big as he is today like he he would you know
Starting point is 00:02:47 he was at the comedy store that's something he don't think he had a podcast that was viable and Yeah, on kind of the level of things Like Chris Lear was here So was Tom
Starting point is 00:03:02 And the rest of the bigger players He seemed like Dare I say a bit of a middle act But he never was that He always was funny enough to be there It just It just takes time to get popular You know
Starting point is 00:03:16 It really does And then with Bobby Lee Bad Friends And the Whiskey Ginger And all those I mean He's shot right to the front front i mean i i'm not exactly sure how big that podcast is but it's it's worth millions of dollars
Starting point is 00:03:33 for sure yeah it's huge it's it's real huge and like bad friends is excellent um santino's been on rogan a couple times a few times i'm not sure the exact amount but was maybe one of those ogy comics who got like that like initial rogan bump you know yeah like like like so he is kind of like you know he was in the rogan sphere for a little bit he's kind of like he does back off but he does dabble in it he'll be on joe's podcast and you know anytime he has to for example he does have a new special coming out and that's why he came to austin to be on well look i i think people like rogan they just also know you can kind of be typecast you know it's like being being James Bond you're just James Bond that after that right it's a little bit like that in that
Starting point is 00:04:34 like once you move to Austin and you're only at the mothership it just is kind of getting that reputation I'm not saying that actually happens but you're seeing these comedians be more and more cautious that are all very close to roving Tim Dylan Gillis you know like Theo never got out there fully like everybody is and i kind of feel like hey don't don't just go to one place yeah it's a great club but there's always go back to new york you know always go back to boston always go back to la that's how you stay really on top of your game is you've got to you got to test all of those flavors i agree i really do agree and that brings us to uh this this point here that i want to promote that we're doing the elephant graveyard review after we record this podcast on
Starting point is 00:05:31 Patreon so you can go check that out I believe we have mentioned that we're planning that but we're doing it it'll be on today that is uh Tuesday so I'm excited to talk about that and that point exactly is what we'll expand upon because like the Rogan sphere everything connected with that the drama going on with that scene right now. There's a lot to talk about. There's quite a lot. So we'll definitely dive into that in the next episode on Patreon, the Elephant Graveyard Review. So check that out. But exactly, man. It's like you can't just stay in a bubble like that. You have to just jump around. And that's what Santino's doing. You know, he's in a, where is he right now? I think he's in Saudi Arabia.
Starting point is 00:06:20 I think he's in L.A. Oh, it currently in Saudi. Yeah, maybe. was he on that he went over that too yeah him and bobby lee both i think they're doing like literally like a live bad friends get the fuck out of yeah that's crazy i yeah what is the list of the saudi team um
Starting point is 00:06:43 Kevin Hart Louis CK Bill Burr Pete Davidson um Chappelle went, I think Oh yeah Yeah, he did Yeah, he did
Starting point is 00:06:57 He did Yeah, did you see what he said recently Can you imagine what they paid Chappelle I mean they paid Um God, I'm gonna sound so dumb I forget that football Players name
Starting point is 00:07:14 Who's the quarterback? Tom Brady They paid him $75 million to play Flag football think about that it's like you want Dave Chappelle who is like really known as the goat the number is just infinite and when they kept doubling it for Shane Gillis I can't imagine he actually supposedly said please stop because eventually you'll get to a number I have to say yes to and what an interesting negotiation strategy
Starting point is 00:07:50 strategy that is to be like no well look he's not going to be broke but it's an interesting position like do you think ultimately he sleeps better at night or ultimately it will pay off just in fan loyalty because i think that that that that does have a lot of power as well definitely definitely and it's like you look at someone like kevin heart and it's like Do you really fucking need this paycheck, dude? You're doing like ads for banks and like gambling sites. Like, do you have you not sold your soul enough? It's like, it's crazy.
Starting point is 00:08:32 It really is crazy to see that shit. Well, you know, I say we get into some of the fan reception of this Santino episode because it was all over the place. And that's what drew me to talk about this. Not only was it one of the most popular episodes. I believe it was actually the most popular episode for the week, but the fan reception was all over the place. Now, the top comment on YouTube for the Santino episode was,
Starting point is 00:09:04 it was really cool of Santino to watch Joe talk for three hours. That I enjoy it because as soon as I read it, I was like, yep, kind of. this is my favorite one this is my favorite one this episode was definitely the joe rogan experience right it did feel like an experience you know just like hearing him just like it was literally joe like lecturing santino and then santino would bring up a point and then joe goes oh that reminds me of this thing and then would totally go off on this whole other point you know Big moments deserve less stress and more confidence.

Prescription required. see website for details restrictions and important safety information what's interesting is i think that what's happening is i mean look joe's show is still genomes the the joe rogan experience is huge it's like way out in the lead for downloads for the length of time i know there's been some other shows that do much shorter episodes and they release like five times a week that have managed to kind
Starting point is 00:11:11 catch up and you know that's more of a numbers game and there's there's some skewiness to that look people eventually will overtake rogan for sure but what's happening is rogan is saying that even in the world of podcasting and stand up some people are getting like you know escape velocity energy Shane gillis for sure i mean he doesn't need to go on rogan if he got a upset with Rogan and had like an actual real blowup like he do fine he's not gonna i don't think it's his style you know um but in the same way Andrew is like yeah i'll come on your show i like you joe i loved hanging out with you when we were at the comedy store and all the rest of it also i have marron on and maron can talk a bunch of shit about the rogan's fear and what's going on
Starting point is 00:12:08 the comedy mothership and i'll laugh of that it's like there there is this thing that is what they call the pure comedian and i think i i think if you struggle to understand what that means just start watching norm mcdonald a lot and then you'll know it's someone that yes could have got a lot more if they wanted to financially and otherwise but stayed true to like this comedic path which is in some ways like mildly self-destructive i think it's i think it's all mixed in with like its own kind of mental illness uh what draws people to this thing in the first place but there's some beauty to that it's like we're the you know stand-up comedians are jesters right they're willing to let insult the king and then have the king cut their head off and if you
Starting point is 00:13:14 start kissing the ass of the king you're not really the jester anymore you know you're just like hey peter teal you're cool can i hang out with you yeah and unfortunately we're seeing a bit of that and it's also tough when the king is a jester and you know kissing up to that jester gives you gesturing gigs if that makes sense uh yeah that's a good point we're seeing some of that with some of these comics who are like really like instead of like engaging with rogan and having like a conversation with him of like pushing back and like really like going back and forth and like sharing their actual view on things some of these guest feel a little more like yes men than anything you know and i have an issue with that it's like
Starting point is 00:14:04 it's the same thing with how it's the other end of the spectrum where joe is kind of being nice to the like the tech guys we see the comics doing the same thing to joe where they're not really pushing back they're just kind of nodding their head sure of course like rogan's like bros like his buddies will come on and those are like the best because it's it's friends shooting the shit you know yeah um but if it's like someone some guy who's like a headliner now in new york and joe list just got him like uh hey my buddy rogan i hit him up uh you should do a pod with him you know you have a new special coming out that he's not gonna fucking whatever joe you know joke talk about charlie kirk jimmy fallin all he wants i'll just nod my head you know and uh and i'm not
Starting point is 00:14:55 saying that's what happened with Santino but that's what we're seeing a lot nowadays um but anyway like what were your takeaways with this episode with Santino like after you listen to the whole thing like what are your general thoughts on it well i like that you know he kind of started off just breaking down that podcasting is still relevant it's still real it's still relevant it's still not controlled even though like you're saying there are these elements that are coming in because it's so powerful that billionaires will get on there or whatever but it's like there's no FCC no one can tell them to stop saying whatever you know words that they want and it's really down to just like it's still a bit of the wild west it's been really difficult for everybody to regulate
Starting point is 00:15:53 So much so that, at least with comedians, they don't even need to go on late at night TV or try and get pilots or get that like TV show and deal with any of the Hollywood bullshit. They can just be popular at podcasting and they're going to sell out their shows, which is what they were trying to do the whole time. But now they get to do it without selling out. at all you know you're telling me tim the tall man taylor even though he made a shitload of money didn't sell out doing that show you know and i love that show growing up i liked it you know it was out in the 90s it was fun he was like uh-huh you know just doing his shit but you look at his stand-up and it's just like dude give that fucking guy a podcast just give him a podcast then he can stay almost exactly like his act and just talk shit about whatever he wants i just think it's a better
Starting point is 00:16:59 path for them i think it changes them a little bit like they say that about leno lena was a fun comedian for a while he would get into it he had some wild stories and then he became very carefully pc i'm pretty sure that this is the story with lena don't fact check me but I'm pretty sure that was it. And he just kind of became the late night guy. Yeah. Like you sold out. I don't blame him.
Starting point is 00:17:29 Well, not really. I mean, I guess, but it's like 30 million a year, dude. You're telling me you don't have a price? Like, my price is like 500 bucks at this point. Like,
Starting point is 00:17:42 I'll say this about Leto, you know, great comic, you know, one of the best. Even like Norm McDonald would say, yeah like j leno was is like one of the greats oh dude every a lot of people like leno they in the world of comedy they really respected leno for sure it's it's just the late night
Starting point is 00:18:02 thing where he's like hiding in the closet to listen to the the execs talk about the show how he like kind of fucked over conan like there's a there's a lot to unpack where it's like people are like yeah fuck this guy because he didn't become the comic he like left being a comic and became this like late night host but he was still doing comedy you know but but i think this is the point yeah it just that they get thrown into this world the hollywood or new york s and l world you know and i'm not saying s and l's bad i think that that's still a good route for people but but you know they get thrown into this different world whereas if you were just giving j lena a fucking car podcast where he made jokes and talked and
Starting point is 00:18:50 talked about cars, he wouldn't have needed a late night at all and he would have done stand-up, right? Yeah. It's like, if you watch Jay Leno's car show that he did it after his late night, it's fucking fantastic. He loves it. He's so passionate about all these wild automobiles that he owns or ones that he wants to see.
Starting point is 00:19:13 And he's hilarious the whole time. And the interviews he's doing, he actually wants to do him. And he never wanted to do, like, 90% of the ones that he did on that show. He's like, who is this idiot? Yeah, yeah, Bill Hicks has a great bit about that. But, well, look at it this way. You know, yeah, he could have had a car podcast. But how many people would have been interested in that?
Starting point is 00:19:37 Like, Jay's whole thing was to get his, like, that's, that is the cream of the crop. If you want to be popular, that's it. If you look at it back then, there were only like, it's like, it's like, This is a bit of a flawed analogy, but it's like if there were only like four podcasts, and he had one of them.

Like, with the amount of late shows there were, you know, like how big late shows were back in the day, like taking over for Carson. Like the impact Johnny Carson had, everyone knew who he was. Oh, yeah. You know, the interviews.
Starting point is 00:21:16 Like it's, so it's like taking that mantle. was insane because we it wasn't like today where you have a million options and then you can kind of rise you didn't have a choice you're right and i'm not saying he should have done one back then because they didn't even have podcasts and the closest thing would have been a radio show and they didn't even barely have talk radio none of it would have made sense what he did was what he had to do but if you look at today's comedians they just have a different route and it doesn't come with its own problems as well i mean you know some of these podcast and comedians have got hyper inflated to where it doesn't really represent their level
Starting point is 00:22:03 of standout yeah right where before it was always like the cream rises to the top in standout comedy you're either that good and you stand out or you don't well Well, it's not always true when it comes to podcast, because we've seen some guys get real popular podcasting that also did stand up. And it's like, you shouldn't, you shouldn't be having a special right now. You shouldn't be bombing a Netflix special right now, you know? It's like. I was thinking, showtime. It's like, yeah, there's shit like that.
Starting point is 00:22:46 there's so many comics who like it's like dude you're a podcaster it's like you're doing arenas now and it's like you should be you're you're on a your your skill set is at a club level and you're doing these massive arenas you know you have you definitely have an overlay for sure like shang gillis for example where his status is the same gillis is an arena killer comedian for sure also world class
Starting point is 00:23:18 podcaster also fucking great and making shows and skits tires um what is it gillison key
Starting point is 00:23:30 what's the keves keves yeah that some of those skits were brilliant I mean Shane Shane is a different beast he's someone
Starting point is 00:23:41 that even Chappelle is like, oh, that's, that's going to be, that's the goat. Like, he's something else. And, you know, the fallout of that is he's going to drag a few people along, just like Rogan did, that ultimately might be duds. But I feel like Shane is better at selecting him. Because if you look at tires, he's only putting the legends in there. And, you know, I'm not saying like Andrew Santino is, but, like, he is very good. good at stand up you know who's the what's his name um stavros stavvy got him in there dude that guy is brilliant dude i'm not sure yeah i'm not sure
Starting point is 00:24:27 if you're a fan of comtown i i am obsessed with that podcast uh nick mullin so good dude yeah stavi's great he's really the biggest one to come out of that like trio those three guys like Adam Friedland, too. Like Adam Friedland went on to make the Adam Friedland show. You know, Stavi is now working with Shane Gillis. He's doing Netflix specials. He's like, you know, doing these big arenas. I think they're more big actors, but, but, you know,
Starting point is 00:25:01 and then Nick Mullins like, you know, sitting in someone's basement playing like Metroid 3 or something, you know, it's who's the best out of all three, which is crazy. he's the one not doing anything he put out i'm not sure if you saw um uh his special um you're the dragon i believe or what was it a different yeah it's dude it's one of the best fucking specials like i've seen like it is so no shit really yeah i'll send you i'll send you i'll send you a link i need to see after the episode yeah it's great man nick mullin is like just such a fucking amazing comic one of the best podcasters i've ever heard in my life he's just so naturally
Starting point is 00:25:46 funny um but yeah cum town's great and it's just like yeah stavi like well-reserved the exposure he's getting and everything he's doing uh adam friedland's killing it like it's cool it's like podcasting is also a way for these really funny comics like nick mullen to like get a lot of exposure and for people to be like oh this guy's like yeah hilarious what are we doing you know so so it's like it's so interesting because it could help as much as it can hurt you know well look i think that i think it's just another avenue like some of the funniest people i knew ever would be terrible on a podcast they would kind of terrible in our group hacks they were just great writers and they could they could perform their jokes and they were super disciplined
Starting point is 00:26:37 yet there were these wacky sloppy comedians that didn't write anything down they just were confident enough to keep throwing themselves on stage and just hitting the same joke and adjusting a few pieces and asking those questions and you know those guys you put on podcasts or gals and they were really good at like finding the comedy right especially when you've got like an hour to talk because you only need to hit like three good jokes in a podcast. with some relatively interesting stuff between it. And it's surprisingly entertaining. And then that just gives them more confidence to be like, oh, yeah, I'm going out and doing some more stand-up tonight. Or, wow, shit, I made some money on this podcast. I mean, you know, it didn't take long for people to start making like minimum 500 bucks on podcasts. If you're doing these comedy podcasts, right?
Starting point is 00:27:35 And for stand-ups that I knew in 2016 in Santa Monica, that's an absolute game-changer. The amount of people that I knew lived in their car, right? And still did stand-up. 500 a week would have changed their whole world. It's true, though. It's true. And that would improve your open mics and your stand-up.
Starting point is 00:28:00 Oh, it would change everything. It's your motivation. Dude, I swear to God, I want to say, realistically 50% of the comics like the open micers in Austin, Texas are living out of their car like so many fucking comics were living out of their car
Starting point is 00:28:18 it was crazy like I heard that in L.A like yeah people would live out of the car you got to do it you got to do but this was like it was like crazy to be like oh my you have your own place you know like you live somewhere you're not homeless oh my God
Starting point is 00:28:34 like it was it's it's like it's just crazy yeah and podcasting has been a way for a lot of these open micers you know just buy a pod track buy a little mixer and if you're funny if you get the ball rolling boom you're out of that rut and now you have you're you know you're living in a a shithole but it's a start and then that podcast starts getting traction you can get a better place you're now a feature act you know it's it's a gray avenue it's like you now could be in radio without having to like you know go to school for it you can just do it it's great yeah yeah it's really cool it's a beautiful gift and you know and people knew it back in 2016 when i was doing open mics in santa monica i got pulled into podcasting kind of like
Starting point is 00:29:29 last like all the open micers were doing shows and they were way more creative way funnier had way better ideas way better names way better logos way better music with it and they were really hitting the ground running with their podcast and i did a couple of them and i'm like god i wish i was more talented than i'm not so i'm just gonna i was listening to rogan one day and he was like just start a podcast talk about anything that you want that you find interesting and i was like well I find this show interesting so as dumb as that idea was I just did that and random as fuck it just blew up and basically all the other people that I knew at least in my group that they didn't get any traction and the worst part was they were putting so much time in like I was not
Starting point is 00:30:21 putting much time into my show um but it was it was just that idea like they were correct it didn't do a lot for them, they were correct about their pursuit. It was definitely the direction to follow for a lot of people, especially stand-ups. Maybe we can- It's made for that world. It's the true free speech-type environment. If that's not for, like, it's either for conspiracy theorists, racist, or stand-up comedians. And that's the problem with some types of podcasting.
Starting point is 00:31:00 but on the positive end of that the comedians are that's the direction they should go exactly and maybe we can get this podcast to a point where santino can hear us talk for three hours you know i think that's the goal like have him on and just like hear us talk about jimmy kimmel charlie kirk yeah you know yeah we just interrupt him and tell him our thoughts and he's like I'm not coming back on. And we never mentioned golf once. So we get really upset. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:39 That was never mentioned, right? No, no. They didn't talk about golf one time. I would have thought that he would have, Santina would at least talk to Jamie about golf. You know, if anything, just to plug his, you know, podcast with the golf podcast or the golf show. he has i mean look rogan doesn't mind his friends or people like plug in their shit i don't i just don't think santino gives a fuck and i think that they needed to get together because i think both of them were unsure about how each of them felt after the marron episode on bad friends
Starting point is 00:32:22 and merrin was name dropped i'm not sure i remember that it was very like subtly kind of just throwaway thing but I think that was kind of Joe just being like yeah I know like I yeah he's like I talk to him for a minute and then we're hugging it out Mark Marin
Starting point is 00:32:43 like which I which I think is but I think that that would be real even if Marin was like fuck these guys still you know I just don't think that he's like he you know he's a bit bitter
Starting point is 00:32:58 in his comedy and sometimes in other things but he's not a bad guy you can't say Mark Marin it sucks like no way one funny as hell OG and also yeah I think if he's
Starting point is 00:33:14 chatting with Rogan about stuff and he's just like look dude I think this is bullshit and this is bullshit but anyway let's both have a whiskey by the end of it Marin's gonna be like it's cool yeah he's had beef
Starting point is 00:33:27 with maybe every single comedian on the planet like louis k for example like they and then louis came on the podcast and they figured it out what was he what was he mad at louis for it was some bullshit like he wasn't answering emails something i can't even remember it was so like it was so like passive aggressive like oh you didn't like answer me so i thought this and then the assumptions turned into that it was it was like so convoluted but that's just who merit is do you remember when CK had Dane Cook on his show to literally talk about joke stealing directly about a joke that he felt like Dane stole from him that was such a great episode I I really wasn't it and like
Starting point is 00:34:21 honestly fair play to Dane for coming on to cover that it's like you you know it's pretty fucking clear that he took that joke like that's such an kind of unusual premise it was about the name remember like naming your kid like chubach but like the chubaka sound or like like only use vowels and shit yeah yeah yeah yeah and but at the same time it's like maybe he honestly was just like fuck i guess i did but i got so much traction from this thing and i just followed it and and i don't know being humble enough to just kind of be like yeah i fucked that up yeah and dude like louis has had some of the best guest stars on that show like Doug stanhope one of the best performances i've i've seen from like a comedic actor even though it wasn't
Starting point is 00:35:16 really a comedy monologue it was like oh that was so great and then robin williams was on an episode i'm not sure if you remember that there's like if you go back and watch that show. There's so many amazing guest stars on that. And they all play just such a great role. Like Dan Cook, for example, like that shit was so memorable. It was like, whoa. Like if I watched that when that came out and like Doug Stanhope, Robin Williams, all these other guest stars too, it's like and Jim Norton, who I wouldn't even call a guest star on that show, but like a reoccurring character. Just like It's so good. Like, Louis knows how to, like, cast people.
Starting point is 00:35:57 Because wouldn't they all play poker? They'd be playing poker, right? Yeah, with, like, Robert Kelly and shit. Yeah. And then, like, Sarah Silvman was on the table. And, yeah, a bunch of New York comics. I mean, but, you know, this explains, like, Gillis is definitely in the same world as CK.
Starting point is 00:36:18 It's like they're seeing something different. They're able to do. more things than just like their genius comedy and it's like it's like anything man there's levels to all of it right yeah you know
Starting point is 00:36:33 even if we're talking like the Gordon Ryan of jiu jitsu literally a man that can write down the submission and be the best people in the world you don't think they have this in stand up you don't think they have this in basket weaving
Starting point is 00:36:49 like there's always a best right And they have it in pool. No doubt. Yeah. Who is it? That Russian guy, right? He's badass.
Starting point is 00:37:01 Wasn't it? Yeah, the Russian guy. I think it was like a, there's this like Puerto Rican guy who's like really famous. And it's like a guy like, he's like Malaysian. Malaysian. Yeah. Yeah. Dude, the Malaysians, I think.
Starting point is 00:37:15 Or is it like the Philippines? They're fucking so good at pool, dude. Yeah. They're like outside playing pool and there's like chickens around. and around like no shit no no shit that's not like a tony hinchcliff joke yeah yeah they have outside tables you know and they just they play so much that they are completely unstoppable it's just like a pool table in a backyard you know and they're just like they're just sinking the shit in like dude they've been hitting those angles since before they even knew how to spell
Starting point is 00:37:51 angle so it's just it's just like so coded in their brain that when you and i go up to a pool table and we're trying to figure out which way to go they've seen it a million times it's like yeah like fuck and watch this ban like it turns it's a matrix code you know like they see the grid that it's like it's fucking crazy man yeah yeah imagine that if you just saw the lines and it's just bounce this right into the pocket you just turn it remember those like shitty golf games back of the day like oh i'm gonna hit it this way yeah yeah you're like the power-ups are just like you know speed and shit you just hit it yeah well fuck it let's turn this podcast and do like a pool podcast from now on it's the only way to go it's the only way to go we just playing pool while doing the
Starting point is 00:38:48 it's like um on like the iPhone there's like you can like share pool games and like go back and forth and play we should do like a um like an online pool game as we uh talk rober well yeah that would be so fitting actually imagine that we like that actually makes a lot sense while talking about rogan like that's so that's even more jo rogan than what we're doing now and then the people to listen to the show can bet on the game as it's going. Yeah. And then we just have like a running tally of who's going to win in the stupid pool game. That'd be great.
Starting point is 00:39:27 Do you know the story how real quick when Shane Gillis bombed on Rogan? And that's how Shane Gillis says. Oh, yeah, yeah. He says he bombed on Rogan. And then after he's like, the worst part was playing pool with Rogan, where you're just sitting there with that bomb and just Rogan ruining you at pool you know i'm like that sucks it did yeah it does well but he was like just weirdly nervous you know he made that like goofy joke where he was like i don't even care if i get fired from s and i'll just immediately just go on rogan and and rogan was
Starting point is 00:40:07 like in such interviewer mode i mean rogan didn't help to be honest he was in such interviewer mode he was not looking to like connect on a comedic level for whatever reason so it just it kind of left in dead i mean that's like a tough crowd i mean she knows how to hang out with it was pretty funny dude it was clearly a joke too and rob was like huh what like literally left in dead like in the worst way possible and he's like well i was telling a joke and he's like yeah i guess it could have been funny like the worst thing you would want to hear from someone after like telling a joke yeah but yeah good shit man good shit well yeah look santino legend i love what he's doing um he just the podcasts are great stand-up's great he's he's a real true stand-up in my opinion
Starting point is 00:41:06 i love just kind of what he's doing he's he's he's he's a real true stand-up in my opinion i love just kind of what he's doing he's He's one of the ones that's not going to burn out. You know, you're not going to get bored of him, and he's doing great things. So I'm glad that him and Rogan is still tight. Yeah. And he's back on the show here. And yeah, I look forward to seeing what he's up to next. He even said on bad friends.
Starting point is 00:41:30 He's like, I'm so glad we never kept this podcast political. We never went political with this podcast. And that's cool. I feel like that suits them, you know, but it was so funny seeing him on this. and only talk politics. Well, yeah, Santino's... Well, he's got to get out of his system. Yeah, just get it all out, you know,
