Joe Rogan podcast, check it out.
The Joe Rogan experience.
Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day.
Thank you for doing this.
This is a huge honor for me.
I'm a giant fan, forever.
Like, since I was a kid, so.
Well, are we going?
Yeah, we're live.
So for me, there's certain people I meet where it's like, whoa, okay.
And you're those, you're one of those.
Well, I have a very different experience.
I only know about you what I've heard.
I've never heard your show.
I had to ask you, are you, Joe?
Perfect.
Somehow I knew you were like in the fitness, and everyone out there seems to be
a weightlifter.
And you're out, even Danielle seems like she did lower body today.
But it's, so it's nice to meet you.
And people are, you know, some people are very, very excited that I've gotten
to come down here
to be on your show, so.
Well, you're an interesting guy.
Other people are concerned for me.
Oh, really?
Are they?
Legitimately?
I don't know.
I don't know if it's the, I don't know why.
It's the weightlifter thing, because I have no, I have no predisposed, I have
no premonitions.
But when I walk in here and I see, I got to look at that.
What is that green neon?
Oh, that's the local racetrack.
That's the Circuit of the Americas where Formula One races.
That's my friend's place.
So he gave me that.
Okay.
Yeah, I walked in, I saw all these Hunter Thompson things.
I felt automatically like, okay, well, this guy can't be a complete disaster.
And then I walked down the hall, and there's Hunter wearing a hat that I gave
him.
Oh, that hat with the gun?
Yeah.
The one where he's in a cockpit, it looks like.
Yeah.
That's a dog hair hat.
That's dog hair.
It's made out of dog hair?
Yeah.
And he got such a kick out of it, because when it rains on you or snows on you,
like it would
in Woody Creek, you come in the house and you smell like a wet dog.
And he loved doing that to people.
The people go, what in the hell?
And they're like, oh, my dog.
That's the dog right there.
Yeah.
Oh, so this is, are you filming this too?
This is whatever you do?
Yeah.
Yeah.
So, yeah, there he is.
There's that dog.
It's got, it had like big, like tie things.
You could tie it under your chin.
What year was this?
This is, oh, wow, look at that one.
Oof.
Lawyers, guns, and money?
Jesus.
Those are later ones.
Yeah.
He didn't make scopes for a long time.
That was, he had hearing protection then too.
He was learning.
86?
Well, we're all learning something about.
Maybe.
What, that one there?
Is it 86?
With the dog?
Yeah.
Yeah, that's probably, yeah, it was earlier.
Blind bat.
Blind bat.
Where's that?
That's funny.
It's a historic piece, I guess.
It's a historic piece, I guess.
When did you meet him?
I met him, let me drink your magic coffee here.
Whose coffee is this?
Laird Hamilton's.
Laird Hamilton's Superfoods.
I met him, it was one of those years, maybe it was after my first real year on
Saturday Night Live, maybe it was 1977, like the spring, summer of 77.
I was asked by Lorne Michaels, the producer of Saturday Night Live, if I would,
I had to go to, our season was head ended, I'd gone to California.
And he asked if I would drive his Volkswagen convertible bug back cross-country
for him.
I'm like, yeah, sure.
Well, you know, a week or two later, he was like, where's my car?
I'm like, you didn't give me a time limit, you know.
So I visited people on the way.
So I made some stops.
I never, I visited my friend John Thompson in Reno, biggest little city in the
world.
And we were, you know, threw our cups out the roof and stuff like that.
Had a really nice time there.
And then I wanted to go to Aspen.
I'd never been to Aspen before.
And so I went to Aspen and stayed at the Jerome Hotel.
I can talk like this because this show is like endless, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So went to the Jerome Hotel, which was like the place to go back then.
And it was off season, which is the best time of year to go to any resort town.
It's like when all the tourists are gone and the citizens regain control of
their town for a while.
Yeah.
So the Jerome Hotel, which would have been full of like knucklehead skiers from
anywhere, was only full of like the people that worked the town and lived in
the town.
And they took over the bar and they took over the swimming pool, which was
outside.
So that's I was there and it was just I remember being there and they were like
beautiful girls and this really funny guy.
And I didn't know who he was.
And we just had the most fun, you know, making girls laugh.
That's kind of what, you know, may or may not have been the reason I was
brought here.
But, you know, that's so we just had the most fun doing it.
And then we had this sort of episode where, you know, we we did an escape act
and it was that had, you know, consequences.
You may have.
I started talking about an escape act, underwater escape act, and I felt like I
could do it.
You really think you could escape underwater?
Oh, no.
And I said, yeah, I think I could do it.
I think I could do it because you just.
So we agreed to I agreed to be a subject and you have to know, I did not know
who this guy was.
I just thought he was like a funny guy.
So and we were like showing off for girls and stuff and being stupid.
And it was fun.
We were just having fun.
So I was tied with socks to a lawn chair and and lowered into the pool.
But just before I went, I said, hey, just in case I want to take a breath while
I'm untying my sock knots, move me over here to where it's like six feet, you
know.
So if I have to stand up, you know, I can take a breath and go back down and
continue my untying, you know.
So I went in and, you know, I was untying and I could tie some knots, you know,
even with socks.
So after a little bit, I thought earlier, you know, maybe I'll just take a
quick breath and go back down.
Well, I stood up.
Well, try it, Joe, try and lash yourself to a chair and try to stand up.
Yeah, it's hard.
Well, I'm a little over six feet.
But if you're tied to a chair, you don't get to fully extend your calves any
more than that.
So tied to a chair, I'm only like five.
You couldn't get five, eight or something like that.
And I just, it was funny to see like that camera shot of like, there are people
up there and I can't reach them or speak to them because I'm still underwater.
So that's when I started to work more feverishly on the knots.
And I kind of was going, hey, hey, you know, this is, you know, I'm kind of
leaning with my head, like push me down to five feet instead of six feet, you
know.
So, but he was strong enough and because I was buoyant in the water, he just
picked up the chair out of the water.
So I lived through it.
But it was, it was a funny way to meet someone.
And the next day I found out that this was Hunter S. Thompson.
He never asked him his name?
No.
He never asked me my name.
I don't know that he knew who I was either.
You know, I think he thought I was just a funny guy and we were kind of like
holding court and being funny.

Well, that must be fun for you, though.
Like, I enjoy when people don't know who I am.
Like, it's very rare for you.
Yeah, it's preferable.
Yeah, it's not.
But you have figured out this way of navigating life where, like, you're not a
cell phone guy.
You probably don't even have email, do you?
No, I have them.
I have these things now.
But if you have children, you have to have a, you have to get a cell phone.
Right.
Because they will not answer a telephone, but they will answer a text.
So that's, I had a breakdown.
Yeah.
But you've managed to stay blissfully detached in some sort of a way.
Yeah, my email is AOL.com.
Is it really?
Yeah.
So that's, that's, that was my concession to it.
One of my favorite things you did with Hunter was when, um, it was a feeling of
some sort
of a documentary or something, or is in a documentary, the footage is, and you're
going around trying
to convince people that Nixon got a bad rap?
Yeah, yeah, that was good.
We were trying to, we were trying to write something funny.
I was with my friend Dick Blasucci on that one.
And I can't remember, there were like two or three of us that were trying to
write this
thing.
And we rented a, like a Klieg light, uh, you know, like a big Hollywood
premiere, kind
of one of those giant lights that they flash up in the sky.
You know, you don't even see them very much anymore, but, and we were just
outside the
Chateau Marmont where Hunter had a room at that moment.
And, and we were doing, um, we were excited because Nixon's back, you know, and
we were
interviewing alleged people on the street, men on the street saying, what do
you think
about this?
Because it was after Watergate and Nixon had basically burrowed down and, and,
uh, Hunter
had a, like a powerful hatred of, of Nixon, really didn't like Nixon, of course.
But I just remember Dick Blasucci saying, uh, I'm excited.
And, uh, he's tanned, he's rested and he's ready.
I still, I still say it all the time.
I just, I say it about myself all the time because I think it's funny.
How are you, Bill?
I'm tanned, I'm rested and I'm ready.
But saying it about Richard Nixon, I thought it was a really brilliant thing to
say.
Well, anyway, it became a common phrase.
Yeah.
Like people use it all the time to this day, probably not even knowing the
origin.
That's right.
Yeah.
And it's Dick Blasucci who did it.
And, uh, and we, we, we weren't there for like 45 minutes before, like, I work
in the
industry and I know you have to have a permit to have that light on.
I mean, there were people, they came at us.
We were, we were going concerned for about one hour tops.
And that was with like professional argumentative people like Hunter, myself
going, that is a
fabulous, uh, watch you're wearing.
Where'd you get that?
You know, just anything to keep this thing going and to keep the cameras
rolling on our
super stuff, but, and demands.
But, uh, yeah, that's, that was one of the things I had a lot of fun with the
guy.
Really?
He, he really was a lot of fun.
He really could make a lot of fun.
I really wish I met him.
He's one of those people that just really wish I met him.
Well, you can still read it.
Oh yeah.
There's still so much more stuff that I didn't, hadn't even read then.
It just keeps appearing.
There are things that are so beautiful that he wrote that, that are good.
And, uh, you know, people text me things and say, you know, about what, what's
going on,
how sort of prescient he was about things a long time ago.
Yeah.
Dead on about so many things.
I mean, you could take a lot of his commentary on politics from 1976 and apply
it easily to
today.
You know, fear and loathing on the campaign trail is one of the best books ever
on the American
political system.
Just like what it's like when people are running for office.
Yeah.
It's a, to me, it's a better book than fear and loathing in Las Vegas, which is
really fun.
But yeah, the campaign trail book is so insightful about America and, and about
Americans.
Yeah.
It's grea
