The Joe Rogan Experience.
Train by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day.
How'd you make it back?
So we were doing some stupid TikTok stuff during the pandemic,
and we were all challenging each other to do stupid stuff.
And for some reason, I thought it was a great idea
to try to jump off of a second story balcony onto a beanbag.
But I missed the beanbag.
Missed the beanbag completely.
Oh, no.
Yeah.
And you broke your back?
Yeah.
I did it a couple times the previous week,
and I was like, I got this.
This is going to be fine.
And then I missed the beanbag.
And so, you know, I think I only fractured a couple bones there.
Only a couple.
It definitely took me out for a while.
That's a real problem, though.
Yeah.
Is this your...
Oh, jeez.
Oh, please, God.
It's gruesome if you actually see it.
So what did you have to get...
Oh, Jesus.
So did you have to get surgery?
Um, I didn't have to get surgery, but I was in a back brace for, like, six
months.
Whoa.
So that was really bad.
Do you ever wonder that, like, you guys are in all these fucking haunted places.
Mm-hmm.
Do you ever wonder if you're carrying any of that shit around with you?
Well, definitely.
What was crazy is a lot of people think that the sign of something being with
you is, like, back pain.
But now that I've broken my back, I'm like, I can't.
I can't make that connection right there.
That's a real back pain.
Not like, well, there's back pain where people just, like, there's psychosomatic
back pain.
Like, there's a guy named John...
Wasn't it John Sarnos?
Is that his name?
He had this weird theory about back pain that applied to some people.
Not people with actual real injuries, but some people.
That it's all in your head.
That it's people that are, like, deeply stressed out and fucked up, and it
manifests itself as back pain.
And somehow or another, through his teaching, a lot of people, including Howard
Stern.
Didn't Howard Stern have a thing with his back where John Sarnos fixed it?
There's a picture of him.
Yeah, America's most famous back pain doctor said, pain is in your head.
Thousands think he's right.
Well, millions think he's wrong, though.
Well, then that doesn't work.
He's not right.
Like, sometimes you have fucking real back pain.
You've got to get that fixed.
But for crazy people, for some people, like, you know, you just have something
in your head, and it's like, my back.
But it's really your psychology.
Exactly.
You're carrying it around with you.
No, speaking of carrying things around, a lot of people warn us that, like,
because we go into so many haunted places, they're like, guys, you should be
careful.
Like, aren't you worried about bringing this home or bringing this to other
people?
Yeah.
I mean, we walked in here, obviously, it's probably just a coincidence.
We walked here, and immediately, you know, your curtain fell over.
And not, yeah, not saying that's, like, paranormal.
No, a curtain has been up for two years, never had a problem, and then Jamie
asked you a question.
Do you guys ever investigate anything that's bullshit?
And you're like, yeah, definitely.
And then, boom, the curtain falls.
Yeah, exactly.
Like, it's rigged.
Like, they're listening.
It's terrifying.
That's what I'm wondering.
Jamie, was that something you set up, you know?
Definitely isn't.
I know Jamie.
I've been here for an hour.
He's 100% anti-bullshit.
Do you feel like that's possible, that you could carry something like that with
you?
We have a lot of people that tell us that.
We don't necessarily buy into it all that much.
Like, there's definitely things that reoccur place to place, and it's not, like,
you know,
the same—it's not supposed to be the same haunting or whatever, but we get
the same thing
that we think has been following us from multiple places.
Do we 100% buy that?
I don't know.
But what's really weird is when people will look you dead in the eye, and they'll
be like,
there is someone behind you.
And I've seen them there for, like, an hour.
And I'm like, I can't see that, but I'm also not going to, like, brush that off
my shoulder
and saying that's, like, not there.
So someone has said there's someone behind you, but there's no one behind you.
So who are these people that said there's someone behind you?
Well, I mean, a bunch of different people.
Like, for us, we talk to a lot of people that are, like, mediums, or, like,
they, like,
do tours or ghost hunts or anything like this, but obviously—
Sketchy people.
Sketchy people.
A little sketchy.
Potentially.
We can't see these types of things, so we've got to take other people's word
for it.
We're not seeing these people.
Part of the problem is there's, like, an incentive to sense things and feel
things.
I'm not anti-ghost by any stretch of the imagination.
I am open-minded.
But I know that there's a lot of people that like to pretend.
They like to pretend they have psychic powers.
Oh, for sure.
They like to pretend they know things.
They like to pretend they've experienced things.
Like, I've talked to so many people that have experienced, like, UFOs.
And I've talked to Bigfoot people that believe that they've met Bigfoot.
Like, it's—there's people that pretend.
But then there's also—the thing that freaks me out about ghosts is that it's
been a reoccurring theme throughout human history.
And it's always—it seems to be connected to some horrific death.
Like, whenever there's a horrific death, it's almost like that horrible moment,
like, burns space and time and leaves a residue.
A lot of people think that's, like, trauma, like, built into the place or, like,
energy's there.
Right.
To your point, though, what's crazy about it is everybody, like, has had
experiences over time.
Like, you walk into any room.
And whether people believe or whether people don't, someone's got a story.
Someone's like, okay, I don't know if I believe, but there's one time this
happened.
And so the fact that, like, everyone, like, pretty much no matter where you go,
like, has some sort of story, even if they're skeptical, it makes you wonder,
like, what if?
What else is out there?
Yeah, there's been countless of times where we'll go to these spots and, like,
maybe we—after hearing the story, we don't think it's going to be, like,
special at all.
But the person who owns the spot is, like, I levitated last week, just staring
us straight in the eyes, no hesitation, like, about it.
And, like, obviously we've never experienced something that intense with the
paranormal, but having dozens of people, like, every place we go to say that,
it's like, how do you—
When someone says they levitate, just say, hey, next time, set up your iPhone.
Yeah, get that on camera.
How about film yourself levitating?
Exactly.
That's what I'm saying.
Exactly.
You always look at them and be like, are you sure?
Like, how?
Yeah, what kind of meds are you on while you're levitating?
Yeah.
Right, 100%.
Have you guys ever been to the comedy store?
No, but we were trying to.
Yeah, listen, I can set that up.
The comedy store is, without a doubt, haunted.
We went there for a show.
If there's a place that's haunted in the world, it's the comedy store.
Because it used to be a mob nightclub, and they've murdered people there.
100%.
That was Bugsy Siegel's nightclub.
It was called Ciro's.
And in the 1950s—was it the 50s and the 60s?
Is that what it was?
It started in the 40s, actually.
In the 40s?
Yeah.
But it's a famous old mob-run nightclub that Mitzi Shore took over in the 1970s.
So the place has this feel to it.
Like, it's been run, you know, as an entertainment venue for, you know, 70
years or something crazy like that.
Isn't there a bunch of, like, underground passageways around there, too?
There's supposedly—there was actually an article about this house on Crest
Hill.
Here, Whitney Cummings sent it to me, so I'll send it to you, Jamie.
But I almost bought this house in the 1990s.
In the 1990s, they were selling this house that the comedy store owned right
above the club.
Is it this one?
Yeah, that's it.
And that's the one that's connected to the comedy store?
There's supposedly a tunnel, because that's right above and to the left of the
comedy club.
And that was also owned by Bugsy Siegel.
Stories from the comedians who inhabited Crest Hill, the house above the comedy
store.
So that house was for sale—the comedy store was selling it.
Mitzi was going to sell it.
But the problem was, if you go back to that photo, it's got, like, this tiny
little bullshit yard.
Like, that's the yard.
And I have a dog.
I had a dog back then, too.
And I was like, I don't want to leave my dog in this bullshit yard.
Like, he needs a fucking yard.
Yeah, my dog needed a yard.
And also, it's just too weird to be that close to the comedy store.
There were so many stalkers and freaks and have people just, you know, showing
up at your house.
It's just right on the boulevard, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So the Crest Hill's right off the boulevard, but it's right there.
It's a two-minute walk from Sunset.
I've heard, like, comedians like Bobby Lee in the past say that they've had
issues there.
Like, people won't even work with them just based on the fact that he's worked
there for so long.
Really?
Obviously, I don't know, like, too much about that, but he's talked about that
in other podcasts and stuff.
That's haunted?
Yeah, where he says it's very haunted.
And, like, people don't want to work with him because he works there.
Really?
It's like everybody, like, that works there.
That might be an excuse for why they don't want to work with Bobby.
Bobby, it might be you.
I've never heard anybody say that before.
I can't work with you because you work at that haunted place.
Yeah, yeah.
They just don't want to be, like, around that stuff.
Well, there are 100% are people that have stories, including multiple comedians,
multiple managers of the place, waitresses of the place.
There's a lot of people that had stories of, like, seeing weird things and
meeting people that weren't there.
Have you ever had experience like that?
No, I tried.
I went down in the basement one day by myself.
Yeah.
I walked into the main room by myself.
Carl LeBeau, who recently passed away, Carl had the weirdest story.
He got kicked out of his house.
He got in a fight with his wife, and he got kicked out of his house, and he
went to the comedy store and decided he was going to sleep on the stage in the
main room.
And he's like, man, you know, I'm going to fucking make it.
I'm going to, I'm sleeping on this stage.
She's going to kick me out of the house, but one day I'll fucking show you.
And so, like, he's drunk, and he lays down on the stage, and then he hears a
door shut.
And the comedy store main room is pitch black, right?
So this is what it looks like.
But that's only when the lights are on.
So he's laying down, and he hears a door shut.
And he goes, hey, it's Carl, it's me, Carl, who is that?
And then he doesn't hear shit, and then he hears chairs moving, and he hears,
like, clink, clink, clink, clink.
Oh, God.
And he's sitting there, he's going, what the fuck is going on?
And something grabs his ankle and pulls him off the stage and onto the floor.
And then he hears chairs moving again, and bam, the door shuts and slams, and
nothing else.
There was no one in the room, he has no idea what the fuck happened, but he
told that story on stage one night.
It's like, he set the tone, this, like, spooky lighting, and it was really cool.
Wait, so he got pulled by his ankle off of the stage?
Off the stage.
Multiple feet away.
Yeah, something grabbed him, he didn't see anyone, but something grabbed his
ankle and pulled him off the stage and onto the floor.
That's when you want security footage, you know what I'm saying?
Yeah, where's the cameras at?
There's no cameras in that place.
Maybe there is now, but there definitely wasn't back then.
Yeah.
When did you, so you guys started out, you weren't exploring haunted things.
You just started out, like, do
