Check it out.

The Joe Rogan experience.

Train by day.

Joe Rogan podcast by night.

All day. What? You dirty freak. Listen, we had an issue. We had a little sound issue. We wanted to make sure that everything was clean and smooth since you guys are here and this is. Sound is a very important part of what you do. I don't have to tell you this. It is a key to your lifestyle.

So.

So. Hey, what's up, fuckers? What are you doing?

You know, we're chilling. We're so excited to be in California.

Yeah. What happened? Nashville lost its charm.

Well, it was snowing when we left, let's put it that way.

Was it really?

Yeah, it was snowing. And it's really interesting because the whole city really shuts down. Schools close and I'm talking like a mild dusting, just like they just don't.

Know what to do with it.

Well, it's like rain out here, rains here. People freak out.

Well, worse though, right?

The freak out.

You mean like Joey? Yeah, Joey. Was it Tom Segura? Joey was with. I forget who he was with in Oregon. They were up in Oregon doing shows and a freak snowstorm blanketed the city and then it got icy rain below it. Yeah, so it was snow on top of icy rain. It was just. The whole city just shut down if.

They don't have the salt trucks and all that stuff. And if people don't know how to drive it, they really shouldn't. But it's really interesting. They closed school for like three days and the roads were really.

It's just.

It was amazing.

What do you guys think about Nashville? Has the charm worn off? Are you bored with it, man?

Well, we just talked and we came back the other night. We got into LA yesterday and walked into this bar and all these people that I knew were there and all these friends and it just felt good, man. And there's really. Nashville is interesting because when you first get there, it's such an open community and people welcome you in and everyone's sweet and you have friends and all of a sudden you go out to bar and you know people. But there's a difference. When you see people you've been with for eight years, ten years, it just feels good, right? So coming back, I don't know.

Goddamn beautiful.

Got kind of wistful.

Do you miss the largeness of the city or is it the people? The attitude? Did you feel different? Like a different vibe? I've never lived in Nashville, but did you get a different vibe from the people?

Yeah, well, first of all, you can drive around the whole city in minutes. The days feel longer because you're not stuck in your car trying to get here to there like you do in LA. Everything is really accessible, which was great because as far as our productivity and working on the record, which is kind of why we went there to write and have all this space.

And then we just kept.

Still not done.

We didn't do it there. We keep coming back here to work on it.

Yeah, it's true. So it's really interesting. There's a number of reasons why it's a much more affordable town and all that stuff, but when I come to California now, I really feel this intense energy. Like you're like vibrating. It's so. You know, you kind of feel like. It's like this shock of you're just awake and there's all this stuff happening. There's so many fucking people.

Right.

And Nashville is great. It's just like really chill.

Is that good?

Sometimes. But when you have it for a long time, you kind of get a little stir crazy.

It just doesn't have crazy eyes.

What are you going to do next?

The diversity?

Well, here it's a completely different game in terms of that. There's this really interesting smoosh going on of like Bible belt conservatism and freaky people. There's kind of the freaky people area, but that's spreading.

Freaky people are spreading. We're weirdos. Yeah, weirdos always win. We always win. It's more fun to be a weirdo. That Bible belt shit. Once you catch a few of them fucking kids and doing weird shit. We're supposed to be all highfalutin.

That's kind of game over there.

Yeah, it's game over. They start losing credibility.

I definitely feel a little more self aware in Nashville as far as my fucking potty mouth and just being loud and know, because there's a lot more. I feel like, no, I am. I'm pretty.

Liquored up.

You picked it up.

But I think people are a little more reserved there.

Of course, yeah. I genuinely really enjoy playing there. I think it's one of my favorite places to play. I love the people there. I love the small town thing about it, too. I just think people are super friendly there. But I wonder if I would go crazy if I lived there. The Bible belt thing would probably drive.

Me, but you can avoid it. And honestly, it seems fairly segregated. It's like you just don't walk down that street.

That's hilarious. That street. Amazing people believe in dinosaurs? This street, not so much, really. Somebody tweeted me something with some know that was talking about that dinosaurs must have probably drowned. And she wasn't trolling that. Noah didn't have room for them on the ark, so they probably all drowned.

They would have eaten.

It was on her Facebook page. And someone sent me a tweet. Can you believe this silly bitch? And it was to her Facebook page because it was so ridiculous that random people that didn't even know her were going to her Facebook page and be like, bitch, are you fucking crazy? Dinosaurs drowned. It's fucking Russell Crowe's fault. He decided to do this goddamn Noah movie, and the whole thing gets stirred up again.

Russell.

I haven't seen anything about that.

He's Noah. It's a Darren Arfonlonsky, whatever his name is. Arfansky. Arnovsky. Yeah. Who is apparently a bad motherfucker. He's done a lot of pretty badass movies, right? Yeah. What else has he done?

Oh, God. Did he do gladiator? You know what? I don't want to out myself as Darren.

I don't know who that is.

Have you seen the ads for Noah?

Nope.

Looks pretty exciting. Damn, it looks exciting.

I would love to give him a french braid.

Would you really?

Sure.

Like rocket Jamaica style. Look, he's checking. What's that?

He's like the Denzel of white people. Yeah, no. Kind of does disagree.

Denzel never got fat.

When does Russell get fat?

He's fat right now.

That's muscle.

He just looks warm.

Corrupt this world.

Whoa.

Filled it with violence. That guy's on cardio, so we must be destroyed. Movie didn't really work. It's terrible. Piece of shit. But it was good. Like, halfway into it, I was like, it's still pretty good. And then the new Conan is the guy from Game of Thrones who played the barbarian dude that was banging Khaleesi.

Love that guy.

Bet you do. Bet your eggs love him too. I bet that dude. He's a very nice guy, too. Big, giant, handsome bastard. And he was the perfect Conan.

Isn't he married to, like, Lenny Kravitz's daughter or something?

Could they? I don't know.

The guy's pimping.

That'll work. That'll last. Sorry.

Way to be optimistic.

He's awesome. I mean, he's just too handsome to be running around there married to anybody. But the movie was like, it held promise. It looked like it was going to be good, but like all these fucking movies, it eventually falls apart. Unfortunately, but I gave it a shot.

I didn't remember that coming out. Did it get good reviews or did.

Nope.

Dog shit reviews. It just wasn't that good. But he's the perfect Conan. If they had a good writer, like, if you got James Cameron involved and he put together, like, some avatar type Conan movie, it would be the shit because the guy's the perfect he guy can act his ass off. He's good. He really would have been Conan, but they gave him a dog shit movie.

That's a bummer.

It is.

Yeah. And you can't turn that role. It's a huge know. You can't turn it down. And then everything else falls through.

Well, nobody remembers anyway. You guys didn't remember? Nobody remembers.

Yeah. I had no idea.

I think making movies must be hard.

Fuck, yeah.

That's the sense I get.

It's impossible. So, yeah, you do it at home. It's so many people involved. There's too many people. The beautiful thing about what you guys do is who do you fucking talk amongst yourselves? You say you want more of this, and he says he wants more of that. And together you find some sort of a happy medium, and you create your shit. Could you imagine if you have money, people? Well, I'm not saying it's easy at all, but different type of pressure, less intervention than you making a movie, man. You got hundreds of people that have their say. You have so many people that you.

Have to it depends on what kind of movie you're making. If you're making an independent movie, right? You have your even then independent, you.

Guys still have to deal with actors, 15 people.

Some actor wants to do a fucking monologue in the middle of the scene. You're like, bro, that's not the part. The part is not he doesn't do a monologue, man. I'll do it if I could do a monologue. Well, it's a different movie then ad libbing. The guy's deaf. He can't talk. Well. I just feel like he could be like, the end. Psych. Here's what I had to say.

Psych.

Always about making choices. Just a choice. When you deal with a lot of people, it's very difficult to have a creative vision that goes through. Do you guys have any does your manager ever say, look, you need more jokes or more songs about this or.

More songs about we've had stuff like that before.

Gross. Yeah.

Well, I mean, at the end of the day, it's like, if you have we really.

Well.

I think we're too difficult to work with like that right now. We don't have a manager right now.

Maybe that's what happened. I met your manager. It all fell. Did I meet your agent or your manager?

He was our manager. Then he became an agent.

Yeah, and that was an amicable thing. But just, I don't know, kind of like the.

I don't like you, you don't like me. Let's get out of here. That's like amicable divorces. When people say amicable divorces, like, well, it's amicable. No, it's not amicable. You got so sick of each other that you went to court. Okay, don't tell me it's amicable. You
