Joe Rogan Experience #2240 - Roger Avary & Quentin Tarantino

So
So yours you're saying that someone was telling you how to kill someone with
coffee
Okay, so I got to know all these you were talking about a some his name's John
McPhee some operators and I
got to know through a friend through a
billionaire friend who
Loaned his plane to the Clinton to fly those people out of I think North Korea
and so from that point on he was surrounded by these guys and
one of them
This guy Mikey, which isn't his real name
I think he's actually named they name them all after the archangels. So he was
like Michael Gabriel
Archangel yeah
and well, you know
and
so um, he
You know, we got to know each other because of our mutual friend and I think
what happened was
He and a couple of the guys
You know, they were placed on me as like for surveillance purposes like, you
know
Find out what the savory guys about maybe or just keep an eye on him or
whatever and they told me right up front
Like be nice to your surveillance
You know, like don't try to lose us or anything like right because and you know,
I heard stories about how you know, they're surveilling somebody and
wherever
Bolivia and
Suddenly some gang attacks their surveillance and they step in kick the shit
out of the gang
and so
so I got to know these guys and naturally, you know, I'm a writer and
Filmmaker and so I of course want to talk to them about stuff and they
immediately start volunteering
Oh, yeah, we've learned all these different ways when I became an operator blah
blah blah
I learned how to kill people without and I was just making a list now of the
ten ways to kill someone without
leaving a trace and I was like well
Just like when I told Quentin about this, he's like well, what are those?
I'd like to hear those everybody wants to hear those and so one of the ones
that I think is the best one is
You inject someone with coffee caffeine like just inject coffee into their
bloodstream
Gives them a heart attack and it's untraceable later on they do an autopsy and
they just discover caffeine in your system. That's it
That's it. Is this just right in the blood coffee? It can kill you sometimes
the simple way like it like
It's right into the juggler in it with a syringe. Yes
Jesus after extracting whatever information you need to get out of him, but he
was much coffee will kill you like that
I don't know it. You know, is it the Turkish kind or is it Folgers?
Cuban espresso. Yeah, but he was a he was a medic, you know during during the
war
the war and he was a medic and
So he you know was kind of identified as somebody who knew how to kill somebody
very easily
Because you know
What will work? Yeah, because you're a medic and so
I would hear every now and then I would say I'd kill some guy and some diplomat
or something in the Philippines and I'd hit him with my car and
I'd look in my rearview mirror and make a determination a medical determination
of you know, is the guy
still alive or
I'm better finish him off and put him in reverse and drive him over again a
couple of times and then take off and he's doing that all the time
All the time they're doing it well Jamie and I were just talking they think
they have a photo of the guy who whacked that insurance CEO
Oh, yeah, yeah, uh-huh. Yeah, they think they have a photo of his face now. Oh,
they do, huh?
Well, I would think with the amount of time or they picked it up later
I think you know there's cameras everywhere. Yeah, and that's part of the
problem with someone and I don't think this guy was a professional
I think this guy if I had a guess some guy who got fucked over apparently that
company is really bad on
Denying claims 30s 34 percent denial rate so normal like 16. Yeah. Yeah, so
Those guys I don't think anybody's gonna like be crying too hard over that
Maybe his family, but that's about it. Yeah, it's a dirty dirty business. The
business of insurance is fucking gross
It's gross and especially healthcare insurance. Just fucking gross. Well,
actually all insurance. I live in California and
All of a sudden because I live adjacent to any kind of open space like nobody
will insure my house because of fire
Right. And so suddenly it's like I have a house. It's uninsurable and it's not
just me. It's everybody. Mm-hmm
And so it's chaos. Yeah
Yeah, I have a friend who's trying to sell a house in California and they
turned out it was a hundred and twenty five thousand dollars a year just
To get fire insurance. Yeah, yeah, like what?
Yeah, it's insane. It's fucking nuts. It's insane. Yeah, but you know, I was
evacuated three times when I lived there
I used to live in Bell Canyon and you know, it was fucking it was rough
I look I've been like I've been really lucky I'd live in I'm almost afraid to
say it
All right, because I've been living in the Hollywood Hills that I've never any
of the fire stuff happens never happened around
Yeah, it is just luck. Yeah. I mean the benefit of your place is you're at
least in a helicopter accessible
Well, they're just gonna dump all that fire retardant right on top of you
I literally am kind of at the top of the hill on a bunch of rock
All right, so if the whole fucking place is it turns into an inferno. I'm still
fucked
And I think that place has probably been there a while. It's probably withstood
all sorts of calamity
Yeah, when I was filming Fear Factor, I talked to this guy was a fire guy
For the fire department. He said it's just gonna be a matter of time
There's gonna be one day or a fire hits LA and the wind is the right way and we're
not gonna be able to stop it
It's just gonna burn right through to the ocean. He goes. It's just a matter of
time. We all know it
I was like what the fuck dude. I go the whole city goes the whole city
He goes when those big fires get going. Yeah, there's not a damn thing like
what happened in Malibu a few years back
Like those are ins. I always thought Malibu those rich people that was the
closest yeah
That was that was like around 93 that actually happened while we were shooting
pulp fiction
Really? Yeah. Well, there was a there was a big Malibu fire the big Malibu fire
happened while we were shooting pulp fiction
So we actually set up a TV on the set because Bruce Willis
was gonna work maybe lose his house and
So he was like actually
So we have a little TV area so we could like so in between takes we can watch
what's going on with the fire and they're like
uh, and there was all these reports that no Bruce Willis and his family are on
top of the house with the
water with their water hose
No, he's not. He's right here
Well, the thing is fires were normal like it used to be when I was young
You know, I grew up in California
And so when I was young fires would burn through Malibu constantly
But now they put all those houses in there where there never were houses
because the fire is a natural process it kind of clears land cleans the land
and
It's it's normal actually, but you know when you put all that kindling in there
suddenly we end up with these like super storms of fire
Yeah, it's I think it's over development, which is the cause of these
insane
Kind of fires that we're getting

Yeah, it's just it's just fucked up when it happens like oh my god
Yeah, I drove home once we were filming fear factor
We had to stop the set early because the fire were so bad. This was like 2003
or something like four and
Driving home it took me 55 minutes on the five to get home and the entire time
the right side of the highway was on fire for 55 minutes
Everything like Lord of the Rings style like so three different times you got
evacuated from there
Yeah, so what is like, okay, so you decide what what you're gonna take with you
kind of yeah
Yeah, last time the last time was the last time it was like
you know
The last big fire in LA and I came home from the comedy store at like one o'clock
in the morning and my wife and I are looking out
The window and the fires like maybe five or six hundred yards away and it's
coming over the hill and we were looking at each other
I said, let's just get the fuck out of here. Yeah, right on
Let's just get out of here now just so we grabbed the kids got a laptop took
some clothes
I didn't even have underwear. I just I said we could just buy stuff who gives a
fuck
You know, who cares if you have your life. Yeah, I'm always the I don't want to
say the stupid guy
But I'm the guy who for some reason always decides I'm gonna stay
There's a fire hydrant across from my driveway
The roof with the flood is happening
Yeah, that's me like my family went away and I was like, well, they're gonna
close it out. So we can't get back in
I'm just gonna hang out here until I know that it's and you know at a certain
point there was fire like cresting the the ridge and I'm kind of watching it
I ran down to the fire department to see, you know, like hey guys, it's it's
coming
It's I can see it from my house and they're all there like hanging out eating
sandwiches and like not even worried about it all
They're like they kind of looked over at it. Yeah, it's okay. It'll be fine
It'll just burn a little you know a little too blase blase about fire
By the way my spec ops friend
He's like a fuck those firemen man fuck them. They get so much like credit for
like nothing. They have barely do anything
They're on these incredible pension plans like he like hates firemen. That's
ridiculous
Well, that's a it is a great job
But you can't get mad at someone for having a great for having a great job
There's a buddy of mine that I used to play pool with
Well, he's actually hump it into another country and kill somebody
So that's the reality of our world today those people don't get enough credit
but firemen, you know, it is a great fucking
But I like the way he brings it
fuck those guys
It's like these huge pensions and everybody thinks they're heroes. T
