The Joe Rogan Experience. Hey, hold it up. Did I move you out here at a bad
time?
Do you think? I mean, we considered suing you. I was sitting there going, "Can
I take
legal action against him?" Like, I called a lawyer and apparently I cannot.
Listen,
I'll give you free meals every time we go out forever. We were, I mean, I was
on a
bread line two days ago. My opener flies into town. We're gonna fly out for
shows.
All the flights grounded. We can't go anywhere. I mean, we're waiting outside
of
a supermarket for an hour and then we're eating fish sticks in the dark of my
house with no power. And I'm like, you know, Joe fucking Rogan, man, this was a
real fucking leap of faith, but it's looking better today. It'll be fine.
It'll be fine. It was a once in, they're calling it a once in 120 year storm.
But I
think what that means is like ever recorded, like you go back to 1800. So what
we're talking about or 1900 rather, like when, what was the,
what kind of fucking instruments were they using? What were they, what were
they
jotting down?
How did that work? Cause that fucking thing was apparently kind of accurate. It's
kind of witchcrafty. It's crazy. Yeah. They would predict like next year's
winter cycles.
Yeah. And harvests and things like that. Yeah. What did they do? How, how did
it work? Well,
it was just wild driving around Texas and seeing nothing but snow and you, it
looked like Vermont.
It looked like you were in the Northeast, but it didn't, it was like wild to be
in Texas driving around and nothing was open.
Yeah. So like gas stations weren't open. Uh, fast food wasn't open. Nothing was
open.
No. You know, tell you what was open the Houston airport. My boy, Ted Cruz is
like, yeah, he was out.
And by the way, isn't it sad that like he couldn't get away with it. It's like,
here's the thing about the Bush family.
Say what you want about them. Maybe whacked Kennedy bygones. But I mean, now
our leaders can't even get caught
taking a commercial flight to Cancun. Like that's pretty sad, but here's the
thing. Like, what can he do?
What is the, what is the reason for him staying?
Yeah. Well, I think it's just the optics of how it looks. Yeah. But of course,
no, he doesn't have any of, can he make it warm out?
No, I don't think he has any power to do anything good.
Maybe he should be there with blankets.
He should be there with blankets.
Yeah. Well, it's funny. It's like the people that hate him the most are the
ones that are like, he should be there.
And it's like doing what? Well, here's, you know, here's the thing though.
Yeah. He was one of the vocal critics of mayor Adler, who's a Democrat. Right.
Who went to Cancun as well. Right. Everybody goes to Cancun.
I think he was in Cancun. Was he in Cancun or was he in, uh, one of those thing
at the house?
Yes. But it was in Cancun or was it Puerto Vallarta?
Well, it was one of those nice places in Mexico. Yeah. And he wanted, and he's
the mayor of Austin.
Yes. Yeah. He went down there and he was saying, now is not the time to relax.
Yeah. Cabo. Cabo. Cabo. Yeah. So he went down there. I mean, that's the place
to relax.
Yeah. I mean, fucking Sammy Hagar has got a song about it.
I mean, it's crazy to watch. It's also crazy that he got caught and then he
came back.
Well, he said, I was always coming back. I was being a good father.
Yeah. So you had to put a spin on it. Yeah. I was dropping my face. I feel
because Ted Cruz
is the face of the guy that always is caught. Like he looks like the kid at
school who gets
in on the prank too late and then the teacher catches him. Like he just looks
like he gets
caught. He's not, he's not one of those guys who gets away with it. No matter
what happens,
he doesn't get away with it. No. He's, he's, um, did you ever see those videos
that they made
where it was, I don't know who released the full video, the videos that they
made where
he was running for president and he sat down with his mom and he was talking
about, you
know, I go to church every day. And she's like, every day. Right. His mom threw
him under the
bus. Yeah. Every day. Yeah. Yeah. I was like, bitch. You don't go to fucking
church every
day. And it was like, they had a retake scenes and it was, oh, the whole thing's
a nightmare.
You showed it. How about somebody from the wife's group text leaked? Cause they
were inviting
neighbors going, come to fucking Cabo or wherever the hell, come to Cancun. And
somebody leaked
it to the New York times going, here's the group text proving they were
inviting us all.
I wonder how many moms were in that group text. Too many. Yeah. There, there's,
these are the
videos. Oh, this is great. But these things are always gross, man. Those like
sit down with
your mom. Let's pretend the camera's not here. Right. Right. Tell everyone how
good I am. I'm a
good person. Right. I'm a God fearing Christian. Tell everyone what a good
person your son is.
Yeah. He was very good though. I have to give him props. Cause there was this
one situation where,
what, what was it? It was a tech thing where he was fuck. I don't remember. God
damn it. We talked
about it on the podcast. Jamie, do you remember what it was where he was, uh,
calling them out
for God, it's escaping me, but I was actually kind of platforming people or
privacy. Yes.
It was like, here is a video of him from the summer. He's like, who the hell
are, who was
he? Who is he critiquing though? Who's he criticizing? Google. Yes. And it says
Ted Cruz on Google
and big tech censorship. Yeah. There was a, who the hell are you to decide who
can speak?
There was, he was catching them in some hypocrisies and some lies and it was
like,
it was very good the way he was doing it and well phrased. Like you gotta, you
gotta give a little,
if you're gonna shit on the guy.
