Joe Rogan Experience #2317 - Cody Tucker

I
The Joe Rogan experience
What are the odds that I contact you on Instagram and the fucking day you're
here is the day your book comes out it's
Pretty unlike kind of crazy a little bit right, you know, it's kind of like the
universe smiled upon us
You know what I mean? It's like it. Yeah
Synchronicity if you want to believe in the simulation sometimes I do
I'm with you. I
Sometimes you just see something you're like this is this is a simulation,
right? Right not in the real
Yeah, there's there's a second and a third and a fourth and so on sometimes
just things seem like God is
Showing you satire like that like there's so just a little fun thrown in there
And a lot of it is on your Instagram page. I have to tell you dude. I have
wasted so much fucking time
So much time watching your videos. Yeah, what the fuck is that real?
Yeah, so many things I've learned from it. It's actually it's very educational,
but it's also very fun
Cody Tucker your book is called and now, you know, and
You know, I didn't even know you had a book when I reached out to you
I just said this guy's got to be interesting like yeah, I mean that remains to
be seen
But we'll find out you are on Instagram
How did you get started doing that type of a page because it's very specific I
mean, I've always been interested in like random facts like, you know
Origin stories of words like movies all these different things like the dark
side of history, right?
And I like telling people those stories and they seem to enjoy it whenever I
tell them so I was like why don't I just like make little videos and
Clip them, you know clip them up make them look all right. What were you doing
before you're doing that?
I mean, I've always had a podcast
No one watches this thing
It's all right. We'll bump that bitch up now. Oh, yeah, I might change now, but
um, yeah
I mean, I wouldn't necessarily recommend watching the podcast, but it is it
exists
Yeah, it's by the way so much better than please watch my podcast like and
subscribe
Whenever a video gets interrupted by like and subscribe the last thing I want
to do is like and subscribe
Like come on I mean, I'd rather you just if you watch it and like it. Well,
thank you if you don't
Get it you get in line. Well, there's that's how podcasts get good. Yeah. Yeah,
that's that's what I started out doing with this
I never advertised this thing once. Yeah, this this thing got where it is a
hundred percent word-of-mouth
Yeah, that's it. Yeah, so I started watching pretty early and it was but it
still had like a pretty decent following
Then but I know like you started like we started in 2009
Yeah, so this would have been like year a couple years after that even but when
I started
You know me and my friend Brian when we started we weren't even thinking it was
a podcast
We we had already done these things where we'd stream live from the green room
at comedy clubs back when it was on
Justin TV which became what Jamie?
Twitch so we would just be you know like Joey would be talking shit in the
green room and we'd be having fun and you know
We'd just film it just for fun. Gotcha. And then
I had a few friends that started doing internet shows Tom Green was the big one
because Tom Green had it all set up at his house
He's incredible. Oh, he's the best. He's such a sweetheart, too
It's like such as everything you would hope he'd be that's who he is great
great fucking guy. Yeah
And you know like really
He forward thinker early on he was like I think I could just do this from my
house
Why don't I just do but it was too early like this is 2007 and the internet
sucked it wasn't ready yet
You know no one had smartphones yet. It was like but he was patient zero
I think got him and then there was this opian Anthony show that they used to do.
Oh, they were amazing
They're amazing and but Anthony kumia started doing this thing live from the
compound in his basement where he would do
Karaoke with a green screen holding a machine gun
And he had like yeah beers on tap so they'd be getting hammered he's playing
video games
He's a maniac and I was like that looks like so much fun. I was like he just
has a studio that he set up in his basement
Yeah, and so we just started fucking around with the most bare of equipment. It
was a fucking laptop webcam
And we had like a USB mic
Yeah, we're one of them blue mics. Yeah the blue
Silver ones we have one of those 30 bucks at Walmart. Yeah. Yeah, that's how we
started and then you know
We just kept doing it, but it's telling people not to go to your podcast is
classic. That's very fun
Yeah, I mean that's yeah
That's using my thing because if there are people that do watch it and I think
they like it and I like those people
I'm glad those people are around but it's not for it's not something that
should ever become popular
Well, you know, there's two schools of thought today with the youngins like
yourself. It's like just get famous
At any cost
Get on tick-tock show your dick and only fans whatever you have to do or not
Right or fuck that and that you're in the fuck that category. Yeah, I could
care less about being
Having anyone know who the fuck I am which granted here. I am. I know it's not
but that's the but that's also why you're here, right?
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, it's also why your book came out today. It's like there's a synchronicity
going on something
there's something happening things are crossing over the I
Didn't so you just you did your podcast and in those stories that you would
tell on the podcast where you would drop some crazy information
Yeah, he decided to start clipping them up exactly so that I would end it with
just like oh
Here's some like half-ass history, which is what I called like the segment and
then I was like, oh
Here's like a half-ass a half-ass history segment and just ramble about some
bullshit from like Napoleon or something
I binged them today and what cuz you know, I was getting ready for you to come
in. It's fun. No, it's fun
It's fun. You really freaked me out with the whole outlaw Josie Wales thing
like I loved that movie and now I'm like, oh, no
Yeah, I can't watch it anymore. Oh, no
I wrote the book that turned into the I mean tell the story because it's so
crazy
so
Yeah, there was a fellow named Asa Carter. So Asa Carter is this massive white
supremacist like he was in the KKK and then left
The KKK because they weren't racist enough
He was like y'all don't hate people way more like y'all should be hating these
people way more than you should
So he made his own version like a splinter group of the KKK and I mean he was
part of like
He would show up to like Nat King Cole concerts try to drag them off the stage,
you know
Oh my god, and he became a speechwriter for George Wallace not the comic, but
you know
The governor of Alabama George Wallace who was you know the segregation now
segregation forever
He was as you said a massive piece of shit mess in the video horrible human
being. I mean
Yeah, just an all-around
So he's a speechwriter for that guy who helped write that speech the
Segregation now segregation forever. He was a co-writer of that speech then
Things kind of fell apart from him George Wallace was like you're too racist
for me, but like I just don't want him to go to
School with my kids like I don't want them to not exist. Oh my god, and uh,
yeah, so he
Moved to Florida changed his name kind of I think to Forrest Carter. I think he
changed his name to start writing books
One of them was the rebel outlaw Josie Wales, which you know, Clint Eastwood
turned into
I guess back then there was no Google. So you a guy could do something like
that
You would never know how would you know like like Stephen King had Richard Bachman
remember exactly they wrote um
Running man. Yeah, we're a running man is Richard by no. Yeah, thanks, too
But yeah, what is it was it the dark half is it the other one that I really
liked is that Richard?
Is that I don't know if that was a but I think that was a box houseman. I had a
bunch of them that were great
Yes, I was so cocaine worked so well for him. Oh
You know what I'm saying? I mean if there's ever a dude and I know he's clean
sober now and God bless him
And I feel terrible that the guy got hit by a fucking van like the whole rail.
It's crazy. Yeah
Is that the dark half Stephen King adaptation? Oh, so what's Stephen King it
wasn't Bachman?
What? Oh, he did another suit in a different Jesus Christ. I didn't that's how
prolific that guy was
I had no idea. He's so prolific. He has extra pseudonyms. There's a pseudonym
for a pseudonym, bro
There's not a guy who has ever lived who has made more bangers more just
Follows that Beaumont a writer who achieves fame. So that's about that. That's
the student
Oh
Because if you look on the
So is it purely Stephen King's name?
I think it's just the Google that they I get right, but I think that's the
actual us
That's is that the trailer for the film or the poster for the film a writer who
to George Romero made the movie
Yeah, is that what that image is though or is that the image from the book
Timothy Hutton plays right dark?
So no, no, I know that but is that image is that from the book?
For the movie some movies George A Romero. Yeah
That's why it says Stephen King because they're selling it you'd have to find a
picture of the book and see if like the book says
but
bottom line is and they all say they're all saying well, why would you change
it now? It's like
See even though see if the one that he wrote us Bachman for sure
Like what did he write as Bachman for sure? Well running man was for sure
Richard Bachman. Okay. Let's see if running man says Stephen King
And I think
talisman
I think that was one that also
He had a fake picture and everything?
That's amazing. That's so wild!
I wonder who that guy is
Actually, that looks-
Manuel a builder and friend of Stephen King's literary agent
That's incredible. He's just a regular guy. Just a guy. Just some dude and
Stephen King's like hey bro
I'm gonna make you famous
That's kind of crazy. Oh, he wrote thinner too. When he inspired it by Bachman
Turner Overdrive
Which is amazing. That's hilarious. BTO one of the greatest bands of all time.
So he did write the dark half
The surname Stark was later used in a king. Oh, no. No, no. Okay. Hold on
Richard Stark is another one?
No, no, no. Richard is a tribute. Richard is a tribute to author. Got it. Yeah,
so did he write Ben S. Bachman? He did. There should be like a
bibliography, I wonder. At the last moment he changed it. At the last moment he
changed it to Richard Bachman. But thinner was. Gus Pillsbury was a different
one he was going to use. Oh my god
That's hilarious. At the last moment he changed it to Bachman. So Bachman was
the dark half. If I was a porn star
My name would be Gus Pillsbury. Or was it the dark half? It says thinner. Well,
see, they're bringing up the dark half
So it has to be there. Stark was later used a surname Stark. I don't know.
Either way, this Stephen King. Let's forget about it
But I think Running Man, I'm pretty sure Running Man is one of them, so
He wrote so many good books that it's like I'm giving these people too many
books
Let me write some under a fake name mom the biggest book selling fiction guy in
the world
It's insane. Have you ever looked at just like the first five books? Maybe that's
what the dark half is about
It's like about his using of a student and maybe that's why you're thinking. Oh,
interesting
Oh, well, that makes sense. The dark half. That does make sense
But see, at the top it said Running Man. Yeah
The dark half book is great. I've never read that one
Well, it's so funny that King was able to pull this off because how many of his
fucking stories about a writer who lives in Maine?
It's so crazy. The guy just picks his home state. A writer picks his profession
and then
Insanity ensues, you know, like it's all like a writer in Maine
Well, and they're all based on just things that are happening to him like
I can't reme
