The Joe Rogan Experience
I can never do what Chris Rock did with the live shit. I would be fucking dead
in the water
The live ones an interesting choice because Louie did a similar thing. Louie
did it live on his website
And then he's gonna release a full edited version of the set and then I guess
that's exactly what Chris is doing
He released it in the full edit the shit about Will Smith was
Yes, yeah
Ruthless
it's just like
Imagine you know in life you play chess you move pieces around you say I do
this and the counter would be that
and like
Imagine the thought like I'm just gonna slap Chris Rock
One of the greatest stand-up comedians of all time. It's not like he's gonna
tear my
Very vulnerable life apart after I smack him with some of the best comedy that
anybody's ever
Written and he's gonna hone it over a year before he releases it. Yeah, like
what a terrible
Unprovoked attack
What a dumb thing to do to do to like be that person who's like publicly loved
You know like Will Smith was until that moment. I mean until that moment
Nobody really had a bad thing to say about maybe didn't like one movie or maybe
you thought the superhero movie was dumb
Or but everybody loved that guy. I love this everybody loved I loved will I
love will I still love will but those two
Keep my wife's name out your fucking mouth
Those two are what sunk him if he just slapped Chris Rock and then sat down and
didn't say anything
People would think it was a joke. They wouldn't know what to do. Yeah
It would kind of drift off and people would forget about they would think and
they would say to Chris was that on purpose did you guys plan that?
Then he would have but he would have skated
But we got I'm so I'm not happy that it happened, but I'm happy the way it
happened because
when I was trying to explain to someone who's not involved in show business how
bizarre the the industry is and how like
Untethered those people are to either morals or ethics or
The just the reality of human nature. Yeah, they are completely
Connected to the the zeitgeist in terms of what's popular and what's
Friendee and what's accepted by our group and what's rejected by our group that
no one has
I mean not no one but in general the the mindset of the people in Hollywood
There's no there's very little independent thought it's all group think so when
Will Smith after smacking Chris Rock and all that other craziness goes on stage
and wins the Academy Award and gets a fucking standing ovation
That was like that's those people that's that's this they don't know what to do
They don't have the ability to say hey, that's not right. I don't care if you're
famous
I don't care if you just won the Oscar you can't assault people what you did is
ridiculous the way you're behaving is crazy
It didn't even make sense. It wasn't even proportionate to what he said
It wasn't like you you overreacted in such a strange way. I have to wonder are
you okay?
Like what the fuck is wrong with you?
Yeah, no one did that they all like yes, it was amazing. They went to the
vanity fair party. He was dancing
It was almost like it all went away until the rest of the world was like are
you out of your fucking mind?
What is wrong with you that is crazy that that it did not get it did not get
acknowledged at all?
And then and then I guess do you think that's a testament to the internet
because the internet was like what the fuck?
Yes
It definitely is a testament to the internet because he but the internet is
just representative of most people
There's some people that thought that Chris deserved it, you know, don't talk
about someone's wife
There's a lot of goofy people
