The Joe Rogan experience. I got sued. I mean it's it's like it's why I have E&O
insurance because I got fucking
Sued for half a million dollars
It was that it was that fucking for defamation because I shit on that lawyer on
the air when he called in
He was like the guy's right activist and he called up and I insulted him for an
hour
And I implied that he fuck chickens like it was funny
And he I remember saying like he sued me for defamation and I remember saying
this guy wants to kill me
But he can't so he's getting me legally because we met once he thought I wanted
to settle with him because he amended his complaint
He said that I was having people send him anthrax or white powder implying it
was anthrax. It was fucking crazy
So I had to meet in my lawyer's office just to tell him like dude. I like that's
insane
I thought like his two people right, but he thought I was gonna settle
So we shook hands and met he was just like a little fishy weird guy
And then he just continued to sue me and it finally went
Away, I had a great lawyer and in court eight months later or nine months later
Um the judge didn't like him and my attorney started reading things
I said to him on the air and all the other lawyers in the court started
laughing and all those people laughing at him
Um got him to go. Oh, your honor we can settle this
So but they went in the back and that was it. No money was paid. It was just
dropped
Oh, he just didn't want to be mocked and that he didn't want to be mocked and
he wrote like this manifesto and he mentioned me in it
um, and that guy over the fucking pandemic
Uh dressed up like a fedex worker and went to a judge's house and shot her son
And killed him that was the guy that's the same guy roy royden hollander and he
that was the guy that's the guy that sued me
Shit, and he went to uh, he was gonna I think murder sonia sotomayor
I think her name is the supreme court justice and they said he might have
killed somebody else in la they don't know
But yeah, he was going to uh, shoot her and her son answered the door
Holy shit. Yeah, but I knew that guy
It was more than a lawsuit because he had challenged me to a duel
I didn't say he challenged on the air
He goes do you want to go to south america and have a duel?
Like it was really bizarre that uh, he chose those 10 paces things. Yes, like
it was so nuts
Um, and then he started wanting to come back in studio and fight us
He's like it'll just be me against the three hosts fighting all these crazy
messages. Oh my god, um
But I knew he didn't believe that was the guy I never knew that that's the guy
Yeah, so that like when that type of shit happens
It's like it does change you a little bit. You're like wow that guy was right
that guy literally wanted to murder me
It wasn't me being crazy or paranoid
um
And most people from what I heard he had cancer like they said he had like uh
incurable stage four cancer
And then he wound up doing that and then he just blew his brains out shot
himself. Oh wow. Yeah
So they never got him. He he did it to himself. He killed himself
Yeah, I think the cops were coming to get him and he and he uh, he killed
himself
So yeah, that could have been a lot worse
um
Boy, and I and I look back on that and I also feel good about myself like hey
you read this guy, right?
Like I read what type of person he was like, you know
You get pretty good instincts like if somebody's heckling you you understand is
this guy having fun?
Or is this guy trying to be a piece of shit because he resents me you you learn
pretty quickly to read motives. Yeah
And I just it was just maybe it's just an animal gut instinct, but I'm like
this guy's a fucking problem
um, so yeah, I got very lucky with that that we we never uh
It never got to that. I wonder how much you having him humiliated
Ramped up all of his anger and led to him murdering people
You know, I don't know because it was years later and it was also he had this
thing with women like
Well, I originally we're gonna we're gonna interview him because he was suing
colombia because of their guys studies or women's studies
Sorry, and so I was like look, I don't like anything that's progressive and
exclusive by nature
Like you know, I mean like hey, how come they're not doing guys?
So i'm like, let's see what but then it became apparent. He just sues women. So
then we started to make fun of him
Um, because it's like it wasn't the principle of colombia doing this
It was like you just have a fucking hard-on and want to sue women. So then we
kind of made fun of him
Um, and it got ugly and I was just being a dick like I was on the air
Um, and that's what really but I don't think I think he had so many of these
problems
It was much more about women than anything I said to him like my humiliation of
him was years earlier
But I do think I humiliated him and he really wanted to because my attorney at
the time
Uh, his name was tom ferber. He was a great lawyer
And he they my law firm hated him so much they retroactively knocked down what
they were charging me
They go this guy's such a bad guy
That we're gonna charge you less and we're gonna make it retroactive like they
were so offended by what he was doing as an attorney
So I I got lucky with really good people and they really took good care of me.
You also got lucky that you caught him before the cancer
Yes, 100 100 because
Again, do I think he would have hunted me down and kill?
No, I I think the judge for him was a bigger one
But I mean, I'm sure it would have felt good for him if he could have
Especially he was on a run. So let me stop by the radio station. Yeah, and
oddly enough it happened in the town
I grew up in which was again a pure coincidence, but it happened in north brunswick
Um, he went to kill her and just unfortunately her son answered the door. Oh
boy
Yeah, you get like i've gotten so many threats
Um over the years like and like legit, you know radio podcasting you don't see
who it's not like live stand-up
Like there's a lot of people that you don't see
Um, and I used to answer them. I have I have hundreds of fucking hate mail
messages
And I used to go back and forth with people
Um, and I eventually stopped
Because then people like I had a couple people talking about you better watch
your back or talk about getting shot
And they were using their real names i'm like all right if this guy's using his
real name
He's a fucking there's something wrong with him right and I don't know what he
looks like and he knows what I look like
