Joe Rogan podcast, check it out.
The Joe Rogan Experience.
Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day.
So we were just looking at a son in the security cameras in the fucking gym
with his stupid haircut.
Why is he looking?
He looks so crazy.
Hilarious dude.
One of the best.
One of the best.
He's fantastic.
And getting better, man.
All the time.
He's a guy who's always working.
Nobody writes more new stuff.
He writes a lot.
That guy puts me on my ass.
Because we've been best friends for the last 12 years, so I've been watching
them this whole time.
And since we met, him and Brian Simpson, they put you to work.
Yeah, that's important.
Because if your friends are slacking, you're like, I can slack off too.
Yeah, or you feel like, oh man, I'm better than my friends.
But when your friends are like, every time I see them, I'm like, dude, I saw
you yesterday.
You have two new bits?
And they're good?
Yeah.
How the fuck?
But one of his bits is his fucking hair.
It's Hinchcliffe's fault.
Hinchcliffe fucking keeps encouraging, like, keep it going, keep it going.
He does encourage it.
And I told you, he's getting mad pussy with the hair.
Shh, don't say that.
Oh, he's thinking of the fuck up his pussy.
No, you're right, you're right.
I heard you say you're getting mad pussy.
Really?
I thought we were having a wonderful...
There's nothing funnier than when your friends pull you aside to complain about
a girl that's like putting the cuffs on them.
It's the best.
Why don't you do things?
Why don't you...
I heard the haircut.
Why don't you cut your hair better so you don't get mad pussy?
You take comedy serious, you don't take me serious.
Look at him.
Oh, my God.
He's the man.
Look how smooth he looks, though.
He looks dressed nice.
He's headlining La Jolla this weekend with you, right?
Yeah, yeah.
We're doing it next week, next Thursday.
Oh, next week.
Next Thursday, yeah.
Going back.
And then we're doing the belly room, too.
Headlining the belly room next night.
Nice.
Fucking La Jolla is one of the best rooms in the world.
Yeah.
That La Jolla room is fire.
If you get it crushing in there, it's a box.
It's a literal box.
It's a kill box.
And he's cheating with his hair.
He's cheating.
He's cheating.
I want to say the jokes, but these hair jokes are just too good.
Well, people lose their mind.
They lose their mind.
It's unfortunate because they think he looks way better with his head shaved.
He's a good-looking guy.
He's a good-looking guy.
And since you got him in the gym, his chest is filled out, his back's straighter.
I love when I come here and you two guys are in the gym, and you're by
yourselves.
No one's pushing you.
I love it.
I love it.
The only thing, because we do every single thing that we did back when we were
working out,
but other than some days, we look at that cold punch, and we're like,
Joe, you're a fucking psycho.
Get the fuck out of here, dude.
Not getting in cold water for you today, dude.
I'm down to work out tomorrow if you guys want to do it.
Of course.
All right, let's do it.
Hell yeah, we'll get a good old-school one in.
Yeah, we'll get an old-school one.
I'll get in the cold punch.
If we're all doing it, I need we all to be doing it.
So my friend Sean, who trained Alex Jones, is now training Shane.
He's going to start training Shane.
I heard about it.
He puts him through the gauntlets.
I told Shane, don't let him kill you.
Don't let him kill you.
Makes you back him off a little in the beginning.
These fucking psychopaths.
Yeah, I remember when Ahsan did it with him the first time, Sean, he got him to
do it.
I was out of town with Schultz, and Ahsan called me and goes, bro, I threw up
twice.
And I go, at the end, he goes, no, at the beginning.
I was like, bro, get the fuck out of here.
You've got to build up to that kind of stuff.
That's the thing.
Like, Sean's in great shape.
You know, if you're used to, like, coaching Navy SEALs, and you're like, come
on, pussy.
We've got to go.
You know, like, carry the fucking log.
Who's going to carry the boats?
That's one thing.
But when you're a guy like Shane, and you're on a workout on again, off again,
on again, off again, like, you can't hurt the guy.
Like, you've got to, like, start slow.
Yeah.
Like, when we started working out, what did we do?
Start slow.
Real slow.
I mean, you were teaching us how to use the kettlebells, let alone going super
hard at it.
Whereas now, you know, me and Ahsan have upped our weight, because now we've
done it so many, like, the rhythm of kettlebells.
Oh, it's going to be fun.
Oh, dude, I'm excited for tomorrow.
Yeah.
But I was going to tell you this about Ahsan's hair.
Let's back to it.
We're seeing him on the security camera.
We're going, what the fuck are you doing?
I was like, he looks like a fucking psycho.
I can't believe it.
People love it.
I'll never forget this.
One night, I'm working the back door of the comedy store, and this is when Theo
Vaughn had just, he went from a guy we all knew to he's now Theo Vaughn.
And I'm sitting back there, and he pulled in, and we're just kind of hanging at
the back door, and he goes, Derek, let me tell you something, man.
He goes, I was getting $2,000 a weekend before this hair.
Since this mullet, I get about $40,000 a weekend and walked off.
And I was like, man, am I supposed to get a, I literally was like, I don't know
what I'm supposed to do.
You know what, though?
It's true, but it's not true.
So it's true that when the haircut came, he got more money on the weekend, but
it's also like the haircut freed him to be Theo Vaughn.
I agree.
Do you remember when the, I remember very clearly the first time I ever saw
Theo, and he was doing a bit about being, not even a bit, he was telling a
story, a true story, about when he was, when he was young, his father was
really old.
Like his father had it when he was like 70.
Yes.
Yeah.
Something crazy.
And he said, he remembers being on acid, lying next to his father, and realized
his father's just dying.
You know what I mean?
That's funny.
Have you ever been around someone who's like 100 years old?
Oh, yeah.
They feel like there's no life force in them.
Yeah.
And they're almost trapped in their mind.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And he's on acid, lying next to him.
I was like, whoa, this guy's weird.
Like, what a weird set.
And then, you know, he was talking about all kinds of other stuff, too, but it
was really fun, but it was interesting, you know?
And then I remember seeing him about a year, a year and a half later, and I
couldn't fucking breathe.
I was just crying, laughing.
My cousin got bit by a gay guy, so we'll see.
I was just like, what the fuck are you saying?
What the fuck are you saying?
And it was the timing and just the materials, like, all over the place in this
weird way.
I love a guy like that.
Yeah.
I agree.
You're right.
It wasn't, the mullet might have just been the little touch, but he was already
your favorite to watch.
Sometimes you need something like that to make you feel different, you know?
Like some dudes, I think, like dressing nice on stage because they feel
different.
Or Burt likes to take his shirt off because he feels different.
Burt could do the same set with a tuxedo on.
It would be the same fun.
Yeah, it would be the same fun.
It just makes him feel free to let that fucking gut hang out and show everybody
he's willing to drink himself to death for you.
Like he's a fucking gladiator, dude.
But they love it.
But I do get that feeling of, like, being free on stage and truly, you know,
because that does separate yourself, too, of like,
oh, this is how I am.
Yeah, you got to learn how to do that some way, right?
And some people it's alcohol, and some people it's the way they dress, and some
people it's weed,
and some people it's, you know, they have to run, they have to jog before they
do a set.
Yeah.
I remember seeing Eleanor, she would do dips.
You'll catch her in the back of the hole, and she's just cranking out dips.
And then she goes up, but then you see when she's up, it's like, oh, that
energy had to just, it was just coming out of her.
Yeah, it's coming out of you, and also you want to get your heart rate up a
little bit so your body is, like, and your mind is, like, things are flowing
really good.
You don't want to be, like, sleepy and then go on stage, right?
Yeah.
That's the worst thing in the world.
Or a full meal.
Yeah.
And go on stage, you want to be, you want to be up a little.
I heard Bill Burr say something, but he's just one of the greatest to ever do
it, but it always made me go, damn, because I always felt that way.
Like, no, I wouldn't eat before a meal, I'm eating before a show, I wouldn't
eat.
And then I heard him say once, he was like, oh, I used to not eat before shows.
And then I got older, and I'd fucking have a Thanksgiving dinner before a show
and go up and talk the whole set about how I had a Thanksgiving dinner.
And how fucking fat I am and how gross we all are in America.
And it was just, like, that freedom of, like, wow, he really doesn't give a
fuck, this guy.
Well, Bill is also amazing at being Bill.
Like, you know, like, he has his opinions, what he thinks is stupid about
something, and he's just, like, locked in.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Like, there's no, like, some comics, like, you'll see one of their hours, and
it's kind of, like, one kind of energy.
And then the other hour, it's, like, kind of a different kind of energy.
Well, Bill Burr, it's Bill Burr.
I'm Bill Burr.
I'm Bill Burr.
He knows how to be Bill Burr.
He's professionally Bill Burr.
That's a great point.
You know what I mean?
Like, a lot of people couldn't even do his material.
It would just, like, wouldn't work.
No, and it would sound, like, hateful.
Like, this guy fucking hates the world, dude.
But that's just the magic of becoming, you know, you, right?
Like, there's a few, like, a tell is the absolute best at it.
Yeah.
A tell has a timing and a presence, and then the material, the way it's written.
Like, a lot of it on paper, you'd be like, what is this?
I don't understand how this would be funny.
But you see him do it in real life, you're like, oh, my God.
You're just crying.
Yeah.
And when the crowd is more ruckus, he's better.
He's in on the corniness of some of the stuff, too, which makes it even more
fun.
It's like there's many layers to it, and, you know, some of it is just, like,
just brilliant observations on things.
Some of them, it is completely ridiculous.
You know?
Yeah.
It's just all, but it's woven into Dave Attell.
And he'll pull out a fucking recorder.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He starts to play the flute.
It's crazy.
Bro, when we saw him live, I was so fucking impressed.
At the mothership.
At the mothership.
I was so impressed.
I was like, that is so good.
You know who's another one like that?
Colin Quinn.
Man, when he was here.
Bro.
You see him live, you're like, wow, that was so good.
Just so fun.
You forget how good he is.
Yeah, and then you're learning shit.
You're like, I didn't know this.
Yeah, he's like a history wizard.
I remember we did Tough Crowd once, and Colin used to do stand-up to the crowd
before the show would start, before we'd sit down and do Tough Crowd.
He was doing the warm-up for his own show.
Yeah, he was doing the warm-up for his own show.
This one time.
I don't know if he did it all the time, but he was murdering.
Murdering.
And I was watching this, and I was like, people don't know how good he is.
Like, this is crazy.
Because, like, there's some guys that warm up for their show, and it's like a
monologue.
They're doing a few jokes.
It's like, it's okay.
It's okay.
But I'm not in it.
I'm not really feeling it.
With him, it was like I was at a club.
I was, like, dying laughing like I was at a comedy club.
I was like, people don't know.
This is, like, there's a few of these guys that just never got good at
promoting, you know?
And they're really good.
Yeah.
And the interesting thing is the really good ones are not bitter.
They're not as famou
