So I take a look at all the episodes that I enjoyed the most once they released it out and do a podcast where I talk about just some of the like main points in a sense kind of like bullet point it and often I have guests on that are fans of Rogan and and enjoyed particular parts a specific podcast and we'll talk about it and get into other things on a bigger scale like how

this podcast over the years is helped possibly improve their lives or motivate them in some way. I have no affiliation with the Joe Rogan podcast at all. I, in a sense, like, what the news is to events. So, the news has no affiliation with events. They just report on that as best they can. And hopefully they don't suck out like a lot of news organizations do. But, you know, I get better at this. So thank you for listening.

I really appreciate it. And yeah, without further ado, podcast this week, 11.99 Tom Sigerra and Sean Anders. It's always amazing to have Tom on. He's such a hilarious comedian. Sean Anders is a movie director and a writer. He was on Rogan because he cast Tom in a movie, about adoption, called Instant Family, which is now available and Really cool story and they get into that in in pretty

Big detail most of the focus of the podcast is on show on Tom does chime in every now and again And he's proud of being in this movie, but mostly it's about Sean Anders So really get a chance to know him He talks a little bit about after he started making movies. He took some sort of a media class, like a media course, and it was kind of interesting to Joe because it basically told him how to handle the press. You know, reporters might be nice for a minute, but then they like twist things around and change things, and obviously Joe Rogan has had experience with that and Tom Segura has as well. They talk a little bit about how you can sit there, talk with a reporter

that's really nice, and then just say a couple of off-the-cuff remarks and then that's suddenly the point of the whole article and that everything kind of becomes a clickbait-y issue. They almost don't have a choice but to make it dramatized and seen crazy than it is just to keep people focused on what it is. So yeah, it's a funny thing. Reporters like to twist things around. Sean gets into the adoption of his kids like the process that they make says they do obviously pretty extensive background check and then you have to wait you're on a waiting list and then they make a match and you know this was

part of the motivation to to make this movie about adoption and just a process they went to they had this funny moment where he was shown pictures of the kids and he said they weren't like the most flattering and made like the six year old look like he was a bit like 11 year old and hardened and it's quite funny to think that you'd wanna see pictures on but you are adopting those kids. They ended up I believe adopting three.

And as they're growing up too, he was talking to Joe a little bit about advice on, you know, not so much raising kids, but just like what sports and things they should get into. Joe immediately jumped on the bandwagon about saying, look, get them out of football. Sean said that they played lacrosse, so he was like, you need to get them out of that. That's full of head injuries. Sean's on a, I mean, Joe's on a big kick right now with CTE and a huge head trauma Which is a real problem and Joe does know a lot about it from all this time commenting on in the UFC so he had a little bit to say about it. He also talked about

Tom and and how Tom speaks Spanish To say about it. He also talked about Tom and how Tom speaks Spanish So those of you that are fans of Tom Seguir, it might not know that he speaks Spanish fluently And it's always a bit of a shock because he looks like just such a chubby white guy Joe laughs about that quite a bit and Tom was saying that he speaks a Peruvian Spanish. So You know, he can speak it and it's kind of different, but he doesn't do any of his stand-up in Spanish. Not like Joey Diaz, Joey would go to the Cuban pots Florida and do some like, spanglish type shows where he just crushed it.

Joe talked about how that was impossible to follow. Like back then, anyone that knows Joey Diaz knows that he's a powerhouse of comedy. If you're a fan of him, as you've seen it. He does crush. He builds such incredible momentum. But when you start speaking like Spanish English with like a Cuban crowd, any white guy that goes on after that is going to lose him completely. They talk some more about their stand-up and how putting the cell phones in bags. It sounds like a good idea because people like to film the sets. So if you've ever

got to stand up comedy, some comedians now require you to put your phone in a bag that has a lock on it almost, and you have to leave the auditorium, get it unlocked in order to use it. The issue is, there's problems both ways. One, you need a service that can come and do that for you. People really hate it, like they absolutely hate it. And people are still like coming and going a lot. So even though Joe did this for a while, he's kind of dropped that idea. I don't know if Tom uses it.

But people just want to check their phones and they want to, they want to film everything. It's just kind of how it goes. Dave Chappelle, I know, uses this service a lot. He's a big fan of it and it kind of makes sense because Dave is an incredible comedian and such a like free spirit, I guess you would say, when it comes to his stand-up, that he does not want you to be able to get footage of some of the outrageous things that he says because you know that you can take soundbikes, take it out of context and use it however you want and when he's trying jokes on

stage I mean in a way that's his church right he should be allowed to be as free as he can in order to get the comedy he's not really trying to insult anybody but again things get taken out of context and also filming everything to be as free as he can in order to get the comedy. He's not really trying to insult anybody, but again, things get taken out of context. And also filming everything. It's like that's all anyone wants to do. Like you become like your own little TMZ person where you're just filming every type of every type of event that's happening in your life. It's, it gets annoying for these comedians that are trying to make a show out of it and it really does throw them off.

I really don't know. I've been to some places I went to Colorado, watched comedy there, and they required you to put the phone in the bag. It was a bit of a pain in the ass because I wanted to leave the show kind of early. So I got past everybody, got outside and there was no one there to like unhook my phone. So it just became a bit of an issue. So I don't know how I feel about it, but I do appreciate when performers don't want that sort of thing being shown.

Anyway, back to Sean's new movie, which is called Instant Family, it sounds like a real tear jerk because it changes these kids' lives adoption. I don't have any experience with it, but I can imagine if you were brought up in the foster care or adoption type world, that's, you know, what are your connections for love and family and just even the understanding for anyone

caring about you at all. So to be able to come into that line, but have everything just change around and people be, you know, caring about you and seeing them as your parents. It's so important and it's such a shame that so many kids don't get this opportunity. One of the things that Joe talked about which I thought was a really nice thing to go back on is on his Instagram and if you follow Joe on Instagram, if you don't follow him, he has a great Instagram, but he shows this little girl And she's just sat there and she has like a box in front of her like a present

Parents, well these two people that to either side of it. You don't really know they are and she opens it up And it just says you're getting adopted and she reads it and she wants it so bad She just starts bull like crying and a parents are crying or I guess I assume to be a doctor parents are crying. And it's just such a wonderful moment. It's not an exploitative moment. They're not using this for a lot of attention, but they're just, I mean, the instant change in this girl's demeanor just shows how powerful it was

for her, just even in her young mind to know how important this is and what a great opportunity it will be for her life and and how much it means to her and it's really beautiful. Look through Joe Rogan's Instagram, you probably find it it's still gonna be on there somewhere but good podcast, moving, you know, it really is. And definitely try and check out the movie instead of family, if you can. I mean, support Tom Segura and listen to the podcast and enjoy. Thanks guys, appreciate it.
