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.
One, one of the best one of all time.
Two, one.
Enjoy the show.
Hey, guys, and welcome to another episode of the Joe Rogan Experience Review.
Brandon and I, uh, well, we're going to break down some episodes.
And this week, we got Russell Crowe.
The man.
Russell Crowe, episode 24-0-0-6.
Can you believe he's done 2,400 episodes of this?
Dude, it's like he's becoming a regular of this podcast.
Right.
Who would think Russell Crow out of everybody?
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
I mean, they definitely seem to become becoming friends.
Yeah, Russell Crow.
So he's done Nuremberg.
And also, what was he saying?
Like five movies?
And he's getting exhausted.
He's worn out.
I looked at his letterbox, and yeah, there's like five movies that are yet to be released that he's done.
Like, that's a hell of a paycheck, man.
Like, he could probably take, like, a decade off after this.
For sure.
For sure.
And also, like, he's not a spring chicken.
Exactly.
He's not that young.
So he might be overdoing it.
Yeah, like burnout is definitely a real thing in acting.
And if you're playing like a Nazi, probably doesn't help.
I do like the idea of him coming back for the new Highlander, though.
I like that he's playing Sean Connery's old role.
I mean, that's big shoes to fill.
If there's anyone who could do it, man, it's Russell Crow.
Like, he's such a solid actor.
He is so experienced.
You look at his calendar.
he's been acting his ass off it's something where he's so seasoned in it he's been doing it so much
I think he's ready it's not like he kind of has to grease up the gears again all right
I got to get back into acting he is in it he is doing so much acting right now where I think
now is the time strike the anvil wild taught so that's it yeah I love this episode man I thought
it was great I love Russell Crow and honestly like when it comes to a lot of the
feedback and, like, reaction to this on Reddit, X, Instagram, the comments, Spotify.
Everyone seems to agree this was a great episode. Also, just Russell Crow has such a good speaking
voice. It's like, ah, I wish he did, like, read an audio book or something. Yeah. I don't
care what book it is, man, just to hear his voice. Well, just do documentaries or something,
right? Yeah. He's so good. So good. There's just something very.
powerful and like manly about him in general yeah yeah and he has a really nice accent too it's like
it's it's a bit americanized at this point sure but it's it's really nice i i think just his his age
the accent he has this like gravel to his voice too it's so so amazing yeah he's a badass
he's a badass for sure the man even like you know when it comes to a lot of the fan feedback
here. A lot of people also agree they, they like to Joe's commentary as well. That's like a big
criticism I see recently with some of these episodes where there's that Joe Rogan bingo card
of AI, you know, and all these other things he talks about all the time. Like, you know, I wouldn't
have been surprised if he was like, Jamie, use perplexity to generate Russell Crow's speech from
Gladiator, but performed by 50s soul artist. I was waiting for that to happen. You know, I'm
so glad 50 cent didn't make an appearance as well um but yeah it was just a great conversation man yeah
i felt like i was in the room i kind of wanted to like drink some scotch during this episode right
yeah yeah what was the name of his liquor company uh muff diving yeah muff licking
the muff liquors i think so great name brilliant yeah god bless him and who was who was it jimmy
It's like an unusual crowd.
Ed Shearing, Jimmy, Carr, and him.
Yeah.
I wouldn't put that trio together, but I'm glad they exist.
That is a conversation I would just love to be a fly on the wall for.
Oh, dude.
Could you imagine just bumping into those three at dinner?
You just hit shuffle on celebrities.
It's like, why are the three of you talking?
It just makes no sense.
You hit shuffle on three of my favorite, random ones.
and being like, there's no way you three have anything in common.
And then they're like, we own the muff diving liquor.
Exactly.
Company and the stocks or something.
Let's get drunk.
Let's get fucked up, man.
What's so awesome, like imagine being a regular at the comedy mothership and just having
all these celebrities come in, like just being like someone like Lucas McQuary who's
like, you know, someone who's in their 20s, a comic who's doing a lot of spot.
there you look in the crowd you're doing crowd work holy fuck there's russell crow it's one of those
clubs where it's like so many celebrities stop into austin to hang out with joe rogan and to be on
his podcast where it really dawned on me in this episode where it's like wow that comedy club
must have so many fucking celebrities in and out of there oh yeah yeah it's an unusual place for that
i mean listen the comedy store gets big share of them but really
In a different way, anyone rolling through Austin, a lot of times it's people going on Rogan's show.
And then he gives them the invite out to his club.
Therefore, they're the kind of people that wouldn't even potentially go to a comedy club at all.
Tucker Carlson.
Exactly.
And then they have this like exclusive VIP little.
package they get to enjoy it of course they have fun because comedy clubs are fun for everybody
and it just kind of opens up this whole new world and yeah yeah what what exactly great
opportunity for people i know right well there were a lot of cool topics on this podcast i had no
idea like russell crow has such history with like gambling and his family that story he told
about his great-grandfather
being like a professional gambler
and then going home being like,
yeah, so this isn't our house anymore.
And then two generations...
Could you imagine that shit?
Could you fucking imagine that shit, though?
Yeah.
I mean, I was thinking about that
while listening to it
and it's like, you know, in today's world,
number one, and you and I are in the same boat.
It's like, it's hard to buy a house today.
Housing prices are through the route.
You're a younger guy.
I'm not anywhere as young as you, but I didn't buy property young.
So in a similar way, it's still hard to buy.
It's like you needed to have got on the latter 10, 15 years ago.
Otherwise, kind of good luck, unless you live in a shed.
It's a different world for property.
Right.
And, you know, I was thinking of my family, and I'm like,
finally get into that point where we own something and then having this thought where you would be
and I almost don't want to say dumb enough because because I you know I do believe it's like
it's a bad decision it's a poor decision but it's also an addiction I know that's real as well
it's a compulsion it's like maybe something some people just cannot stop but to be in
that place.
I mean, the shame of having to tell your family you lost your house, what, where do you go from
that?
He said it made his family poor for two generations.
How fucking crazy is that.
Imagine being that shitty of a family member where you just fuck over your family for two
generations.
That's insane to me.
Well, you imagine there's some land that would go with it, right?
It's not just the house, a bit of land.
yeah but it's the adrenaline you know it's like artie lang talks about this on like stern when he goes
into his gambling addiction where he's like yeah dude it's just it's that fucking adrenaline and you can't
find it anywhere else he he was doing heroin he was doing all these drugs but he's like gambling
is another animal completely him and norm used to do a ton of gambling and it's something that i just
i can't understand it's just not in my blood you know joe also is talking about that on the podcast
like being in pool halls and being around a lot of gamblers
where he's like, I just can't fathom risking that much.
Like, that's the whole thing where he's like,
yeah, I have friends who like, you know,
will bet $3 million.
Even if you have a ton of money,
like if you lose that 3 mil,
like I wouldn't be able to sleep for like weeks.
That's so much money.
It's just such, the risk reward just isn't there for me, truly.
Well, I mean, you know, Rogan Dana, Dana was.
bets a lot. And that's a good friend of Joe's, of course, and he's seen it. He's seen that
happen a bunch. He's known Dana to lose like a million dollars in a night. Dealing with my finances
feels so impossible and it feels so annoying trying to keep track of everything, especially with
all the Joe Rogan kettlebells I've been buying. I just wish there was a way to save money and

And Rogan has a lot of money.
and that's still like what the heck yeah you know it's like you can't even contemplate that type of thing
and you know i think it's a good perspective to have like i don't recommend anyone should get in a
place where you think losing a million in a night is a is a good move um also what i was
thinking about which was interesting is you know rogan has made uh if you think about the over and under
of gambling very few gamblers are in the plus right it's not really designed for you to win even if you're
like a lifelong gambler and you think you're good chances are you've lost more than you've made
even if you've won some big things however
if you've been sponsored by gambling companies like we have with Draft Kings.
Here's truly, yes.
And Rogan has to probably definitely a much higher degree than we have been.
Then it's safe to assume, since I'm not really much of a gambler at all,
I've maybe lost like $80 in my entire life gambling.
we're in the plus so it's like we're in you know we're outliers like in the very rare
spaces of people that have made money from gambling since joe was i was wondering if he would
somehow defend it kind of and he kind of did he kind of did he kind of was like well
it's just a bad choice and is you'll blah blah and you know yeah he was on the fence like on it
a little bit too like he was saying i get it but like also at the same time i can't comprehend it
you know and to your point there's that saying the house always wins for a reason
like it's just it's not it's a losing battle it really is for i just i'm i'm not a gambler
at all. I have friends who do it and they've lost so much
fucking money. Sports betting is huge right now. He brought it up though
with the Twinkie thing. He's like yeah, I know Twinkie's a dog shit
but I think they should exist. I think you should have the right
to have that. Now honestly I think gambling should exist
more than Twinkies and hear me out.
gambling with education and at least like some stopgaps it's like yeah we like there should be an opportunity for some people to bet on some things
for a food product to be clearly so nasty that it's not even food then i don't know i don't know if it should
now if you want something to just be that delicious
find a way to make it that delicious with actual food
then i will allow it because because we can do that
we for sure can't my grandma used to make this pudding
there was like a sticky toffee pudding
it's like old british you know type of cake with toffee on
that shit was made of real ingredients
old school grandma stuff British old lady amazing it was better than a twinkie so it can be done
you don't need to poison yourself you know what I mean so there's like it's a bit of a
difference however the freedom that Joe was talking about and the choice it's like yeah
you should be able to get something you enjoy that much however
the part of it that destroys your life,
we might need to have some controls over.
Like maybe you don't get to lose your house.
Maybe you don't get to instantly get cancer from whatever the food product is.
It has to be regulated for sure because you look at the Twinkie company and you look at the house.
They're not in it for quality of life.
They're in it to make as much fucking money as possible.
And they don't care what happens to you, right?
Yeah. Yep. And the Twinkies are cardboard goo. And yeah, you can lose your house. You can lose everything. Like, and the thing is like you can't ban it because gambling is something people do all the time even like illegally. If all of gambling was banned, like people still do it. I go to bars all the time where people play poker in the corner for money. And I know it's not the most legal thing, but people will still do it.
it just goes to show it's not going anywhere you can't get rid of it so since it's going to stay
i think it needs to be regulated and i'm not saying like you know uh strict regulations but exactly
what you're saying you can't lose your house you can't like lose your kid to uh another country i don't
know okay we're all in agreement you can't bet your house you can't give away your kid to other
countries. Exactly. And maybe a few other rules. Yeah. Yeah. That seems reasonable. I think that's
fair. You're not allowed to bet your organs. I don't know. You know, we don't. I guess you do
have two kidneys. That is true. Do you need both of them? You do have two kidneys. Yeah, but I feel like
there would be a nasty betting black market kidney thing going on if you could. Yeah. You got to be
I mean, there are some real gullible people out there, dude.
You can't start allowing that.
Yeah, people get their kidneys hustled, you know?
Also, we are not sponsored by Draft Kings again until the 25th of this month.
So feel free to talk about gambling as freely as you need to until that episode.
Then we may need to moderate.
great timing yeah yeah wasn't there a draft king's ad during the russell crow episode
i think uh was there really i think so yeah that would be hilarious it was very poetic and
beautiful yeah also i'll be honest those are those are done regionally though so got it um i listened
to it in bozman i didn't hear one you're listening in boston so maybe maybe you go
more gamblers up. A ton of gamblers in Boston. A lot of people running books here, too. I'll be honest,
man, after listening to this episode, I think I want to play cricket. He made it seem so a good game.
Yeah. Cricket's a good game. You know, it's like when I hear this, though, remember, I'm coming from,
you know, I grew up in England. And my grandfather was a huge cricketer. He loved it. My dad loved it.
I played it with my grandfather in the garden.
Every weekend we go up there.
Well, he had a little patch.
We used to have,
have you ever seen those things that kind of roll the lawn.
They're like a big,
they're like a big steel wheel.
Yes.
It's kind of similar to the things that roll the roads with
when they make the roads on the machines,
but you drag it across the lawn.
And it's the flatten out the bit that you bowl on.
He had one of those, so you'd roll it up and down what they call the wicket, make it nice and flat, set the stumps up, and we would play every Sunday.
So when I hear the like the, you know, the minutia about the game and like the elements of it, it's like I don't even know what is going on in baseball.
So of course I understand cricket.
When Joe asked you have the equivalent of a home run, I'm like, yeah, well, of course I know what that is.
To me, it's just, you're already talking my language.
Yeah, where I'm on Joe's side, where I just don't really know much about it.
But the conversation just made it seem so appealing.
I'm like, fuck, I think I got to try it.
It's a good game.
It's cool to hear that Russell's cousins was some of the best players.
And one of them is one of the best players of all time.
Good for him.
How insane is that?
There's a lot of interesting coincidences in Russell's life, like even Henry Cavill, dude.
Dude, relax, relax.
Did you watch Gladiator?
I watched it two days ago, out of respect for this episode.
Now, it's easy to do because just like Predator is one of my favorite movies, which you should be.
Predator.
And I was once again just riveted and blown away by it.
Like my brain, even though I know every bit that's about to happen, I am as captivated by it.
as I would be if I'd never seen it before.
I got to revisit it.
Dude, I was just locked in like I always am.
Every line, every bit.
I'm just like, this is amazing.
Joaquin Phoenix is just brilliant in it too.
He's such a snake piece of shit, but he's amazing.
And the, oh, dude, the fight scenes, the loyalty, like just all the people.
You look at who he is amongst all those legends, like tough guys.
It's like, yeah, of course he has world-class sportsmen that are genetically related to him.
Like, you don't just randomly get some guy from Australia who's just like, oh, he's just a good actor.
No.
You get like a Liam Hensworth, you know?
You get like specimens, dude.
Yeah, dude, it's so funny.
I don't want to get all like bro love here over Russell, but like he's, he's a legend.
If we're talking about Gladiator, dude, you have to, you have to fucking legend.
It's so funny.
I think it was on a prior episode where he was on where he was talking about how when he goes to Rome, they treat him like Maximus.
Like they treat him like fucking royalty.
Holy fuck, there you are.
Like it was like a biopic or like it actually happened.
well he so on the last that the last time he came in rogan he said he went in a store
he went to buy a nice watch he likes watches right so it was like a brightling or some nice
watch and he comes out and he's got like his shopping bags or watches so he's not feeling
like very masculine because to be fair if you've got little watch bags you know and you've been
shopping for watches it's not exactly like the toughest thing you do and they're
the streets were lined
so he stood out there thinking
it was like a parade
as you would
you would you'd be like what's the parade
and then everyone just starts going
maximus max
he's like
oh shit my life
is not the same
dude
I don't know what that
love to have been there
I would have joined then
I would have probably started the chant
dude what does that do to someone
though if I was in that role
and that happened to me,
I would go right into the character, I think.
I think I would embody that.
The energy of that, the power,
like, what does that do to someone?
Well, I would throw,
I would immediately throw the watches
because who even needs to know the time.
That's a timeless moment.
I would look around
and hopefully somebody could throw me a sword.
And then I would hold the sword up in the air like he, man.
I mean, I'm from the 80s,
so that, like, that's, I would do that.
yeah i would just march down the road like i'm in charge of rome yeah or i would just like pull
a sword out cut someone's head off have the hold it above my head have the blood drip down on me
you know too far embody the character you went you went too far there you went immediately to
you don't you don't think people well look who it is don't you think russell crow gets a pass
especially in a moment like this he's yeah at the
peak of his. Are you not entertained, Adam? At the peak of his fame, right after an Oscar,
he's allowed to kill one person in Rome. And they just, they just allow it. They're like,
fine. That guy was a farmer. We're not even worried about it. He's too badass for laws.
You know, just just have them have one, you know. It must have, I mean, had a very strange effect.
And to be fair, I mean, he's had some great movies. Some.
I mean, a bunch of movies
have been really big that he's been in.
Nothing touched the gladiator, though.
Cinderella man was great.
Timeless pieces, dude.
Yeah.
The Nice Guys was a newer one.
That was really good, too.
I'm not sure if we saw that.
Galsland?
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, that was great.
Yeah, that was a good one.
He's still putting out bangers.
And that's like a really high-rated movie in his career.
Well, think about it.
Think about how difficult it is.
to hold the space next to Ryan Goslin.
Like, Ryan, for one, he's a powerful actor,
very good looking, great style, you know,
he's got an unbelievable presence.
He's acted with the best of the best.
You've got Russell in there.
To be fair, he's like, what, in his 50s,
he's overweight, he's just looking a bit sloppy,
with all due respect.
And he just holds,
his own so hard in that movie
that it was almost shocking
how well he did it.
Right. It was effortless.
It was almost like you just see him in that movie
and you're like, oh, 20 years ago,
you know he was cooler than Ryan.
Yeah. Right?
And it transfers over, I think,
also the chemistry between both actors,
I thought was great.
Like he's, that's like an underrated element
I think of Russell Crow is like he has such great chemistry with other actors and like bouncing
energy off it's so good like he's such an amazing actor man and this podcast and then like going
back and watching some scenes from like prior movies he was in because like a lot of these movies
I saw in college and college is a bit of a blur you know I've seen a lot of his movies and I got
to revisit a lot of them but really just such a legendary actor
one of them. Right. And just like
you were saying, and I interrupted you earlier, but
like, let's go back to the story
of him meeting
Cavill. Yeah.
How nuts is that?
Some crazy
coincidences in this guy's life. It almost didn't seem
real. When he was telling that, I was
like, that's bullshit.
Yeah. The Kingmaker.
Dude. So he bumps into him when
he's a kid. And then, of
course, Russell, like, Quebec,
I barely remember it.
But, you know, with Henry, it, like, stuck with him like you couldn't imagine.
And remember, this is Superman, right?
Mr. Handsome, Mr. Swave, like, easily could be James Bond.
The whole time is looking up to this character.
Like, that's who Russell is, dude.
Fucking Superman looks up to him.
Picked him to be the dad in the movie.
Like, no doubt.
Has to be him.
He said that he had that signs picture with him everywhere.
Any apartment he moved to wherever he was, he had the signed photo.
And now they're back.
I think that's why Highland is going to be that much better because, again,
when you talk about that on-screen chemistry,
I mean, it's going to make that movie powerful.
And I think, honestly, that's why that original Highlander was so powerful.
I don't know necessarily if it was that.
main actor. I really do think that it was Connery's. It's just like any time Connery was in a movie,
he was such a dominating force that it just spread everywhere. Yeah. Dude, I'm for. No, I'm a bit
biased. I love Connery. Like me too, man. And I think this is going to be its own thing. But the fact
that it's such a full circle for like, you know, Henry Cavill and like the story behind it,
I think this is going to be some great acting here.
And like, we got some heavyweights in this movie.
It's not like it's just, yeah, it's a reboot.
We're throwing Will Ferrell in there.
We're going to have just a couple.
It's a real.
Will Ferrell's in it?
No, no.
Who's going to be the, like, the really scary bad guy?
Because that guy was a legendary.
That's a great.
move that's another great actor too
RIP
you know I did see recently
Dragon Heart have you seen that
no it's that
it's got a minute it's really he plays a dragon
a talking dragon it's like one of the
um
first ever like
CGI movies were like they make a main
character fully CGI
they use the same render as the
T-Rex in Jurassic Park
because it's like there was like literally one
cg i company and it was like in the 90s and they're like all right we're going to do a movie
about talking dragons and we're just going to do full cgion dragons it looks like the whole
movie looks like a ps2 game but it's like dennis uh what's the guy's name quade or something yes yes
the actor yeah it's a weird ass movie next time you're like doing edel oh there's it you know what
i know it there's a great line in there he's like i am he's a i am the lost one
one. Yes. Yes. That's it. That's it. It's a beggar movie. It's basically the same line is
Highlander, which is, that can be only one. Oh, yeah. I think that's a reference that.
Probably a rip off. A rip off, you think? Well, he's ripping himself off. He's allowed
fucking Sean Connery. Do what he wants to steal from yourself, you know? Yeah. There's no stealing when
it's Connery.
You know, it's funny.
That was a good movie.
It is a good movie.
That's funny how that's like the most memorable quote from the film.
But think about it.
Think about how amazing Connery was that you don't even have to see him to know how cool he is.
Yeah.
Like just that voice.
One of those iconic like voices of any actor.
Legend.
Top five.
Absolutely legend.
Top five.
Yeah, I'm looking at the new Highlander.
I think that it's like.
just on hold enough they don't even have they don't even have um russell crow listed on the
i and db batista's in it maybe he's the bad guy i don't know he got skinny though didn't he get
weirdly skinny he did yeah he lost um i don't know who the bad guy would be henry's in it um
we'd have to i'm looking on letterbox it seems like russell crow has
seven unreleased movies right now.
Wow.
Fucking insane.
That's a workaholic right there.
Get them done.
Yeah.
Get them done.
Well, you know what?
I do want to say also with this episode,
I was really stunned about the cane toads.
I know it's kind of random and off topic from like acting and everything,
but.
Oh, those giant,
the giant ass toad.
Like, dog-sized frogs?
What were they saying?
They were using, like, cricket paddles or something?
They're just killing them.
Oh, yeah.
Smash them.
Going, like, to and from the pub.
Like, that's fucking awesome.
Just like all these.
And apparently, there's 200 million in Australia.
Oh, you're fucked.
You're done.
It's over.
They live there now.
Well, unless you find a really good recipe for them.
you're in big trouble so i would recommend bringing in some of the best chefs because you know
when when they were saying oh we can't introduce something else to eat them because that
of fuck up the whole ecosystem i'm like of course bad idea so i was like racking my brains i was in
the sauna sweating away you know respected joe doing my 20 minutes and i was like in there like
well, what could you do then?
You're kind of fucked.
However, I was like, well, you know, humans are really good at hunting, generally,
but what is the motivation of hunting?
Well, mostly back of the day, it was like fur or fur or meat.
So, and nowadays it's mostly for meat, because we don't really care about fur,
little skins.
So if they could find a dish that was that delicious.
And since it's frogs, you need the French.
So you've got to bring in some Michelin Star French chefs to find the dish that is just so good.
Make it cheap, a little bit of, you know, subsidized by the Australian government.
you know and then everyone's eating these lavish dishes of those type of toads or frogs or
whatever they are boom done well you know what the dish would be right like the best part of the
frog is the the legs uh yeah maybe not the most like a small bit of it yeah but that would
that would sort it out dude the if you were to eat the frog legs of the one that showed off
That's like a fucking turkey lake.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's huge.
Yeah.
It's like a fucking chicken wing or something.
That's it.
That would keep you going.
Yeah.
They keep going.
So that was my idea.
Unless, you know, anyone out there listening, if you have a better idea, we'd love to hear it.
In fact, we might have a competition.
If anyone has a better idea than my idea, and I hope you do, because mine was off the cuff and a bit
quick during that moment sweating in the sauna.
We'd love to hear it, and we will pass it along to the Australian government in the hopes that maybe we could help.
Maybe if there's anything we could do in 2025 that is positive from this podcast, we could help the Australian people and their Toad Frog problem.
So to celebrate his new movie, Russell Crow's new movie about Nuremberg,
Figure out a way to genocide the cane toad frogs and think of some suggestions or just the cane toads, not frogs, toads, a whole different thing.
But figure out a way to genocide them, send us an email and the winner will get a, I don't know, we'll probably be on the Nuremberg trial because crimes is.
Yeah, I will, I will, I do have to say, I don't, I don't really care for how you title that together.
I'm not going to lie.
I'm not going to lie.
I mean, I think we could have not tied all that together.
But since you did bring it up, let's talk about that movie a little bit.
What I've heard about it, and I read an article that was like pretty good, actually, and quite fair.
They were saying that Russell Crow, like, easily is in Oscar contention again for his role.
Like, it's that good.
problem is the rest of the movie isn't that strong like the script isn't that good but his acting
is like easily there so it's a bit of a bummer that it doesn't really stand up it almost
you know it's kind of one of those things that needed like of a christopher nolan character
behind it but russell was there you know what i mean he's like bringing his energy back
And what that tells me, and gives me some hope and some faith, is he starts to jump on with, instead of knocking out five movies a year that are barely getting released, jump on with the biggest named directors, pull your heart into the role and, you know, bash out that next Oscar.
You know what I mean?
yeah i do and he was talking about how this new movie's going to have like unreleased footage
of the trials and you know hearing what you're saying i'm kind of afraid it's going to be like
you know those shitty history documentaries or those history documentaries that have like those
shitty acting sections because there's no footage of what they're talking about in history
so they get some like z list actors to like act out the parts i'm afraid it's going to be one of
those, but just with one of the greatest actors of all time. Uh-huh. You know, so I don't know. I think
it'll be cool because I do like World War II history and to just like see unreleased footage
will be cool. And I think it will be more of a historical curiosity for me than like, oh, I can't
wait to see this masterpiece. Right. But I don't know. To seem as a Nazi will be interesting because
that's quite a that's a hard role it is yeah it is would you ever play a nazi in a movie
sure i mean after your recent comment i'm
listen listen there's there are there are literally condoms called spermicide condoms
last time i checked they're not coming from germany you know so it is a it is a term it was a
turn before uh before the rike yeah that's true unfortunately where are those ones made
israel sorry we we just have to we'll have to edit that out yeah no i i mean who knows where they
come from but you know at the end of the day these are words and this is silly and we're all having
a good time but well yeah exactly and that's the thing like if you kill a whole frog population you
have to live with
well that is a genocide
that is a genocide it is I mean when is it not
is it how you did it or is it just
the fact you did it to all of them
I'm pretty sure if you do it to
all of them what happens if you
did it to all of them really
nicely and they all
agreed it would still
be a bit of a genocide
right biggest suicide pact of all
time yeah you got rid of them
I mean I don't know what
the rules are if if you
kill half of the cane toad population, that's a hundred million. I feel like if there's a word
for something bigger than a genocide, it's probably what we would use because a hundred million
is. That's a lot of frogs. It's a hell of a lot of frog legs, yeah. Yeah. Make me hungry.
Delicious. Yeah. I'd be down. It'd be the most delicious. You're a French. If you're a French chef
out there and
you know
want to tackle some
giant legs put it
in a dish and
open it up to the people out there
you might be able to save it
and maybe if you want to
take a
hit at the getting
rid of that cane toad population
then Russell Crow
might play you in a movie in the future
ooh
the cane to
trials. That's when he wins
his Oscar.
He just
he wins
it. He's just the
chef like licking his fingers.
This is the one
that is the most delicious.
Oh, yes.
I'm seeing that movie in a second.
I am seeing that movie in a second.
Dude, I want to write it.
We're going to write.
All right. We're going to shoot this movie. It'll be on
Patreon. So
a couple of weeks.
It won't take us long.
Won't take us long.
Well, yeah, let's finish that.
And, yeah, we're going to get the, we're going to, we've been saying it, but we are going to do it.
We're going to get the Mark Marin out, Rogan's this week, right, out this week.
