the Joe Rogan experience kids in LA there's here being famous doesn't seem
like a viable option in LA it seemed like the most viable option like the
most primary option oh you mean like there's a there's a community of people
that are focused around the Kardashians and the the you know the athletes and
the musicians and the this and the that and their whole ideas you know this
obviously sounds hypocritical is coming from someone who happens to be famous
but I think that it's it's a empty pursuit it's you know you can you can get
famous doing a thing that you love or you can try to be famous and they're two
very different things and I think there's been many times in my life where I
was
trying to get famous because it seemed like it was impossible right like when I
was young and first getting on television first doing comedy because just
seemed
like impossible like how someone get famous how does it I could see other
people famous like how are they famous this is great it seemed nuts yeah but be
careful what you wish for you think you think fame changed you like are you
able
to like be cognizant of ways in which the fact that this podcast is the biggest
podcast in the world and just all of that how that's changing your mind I mean
that
that's I think about that with power that you might not be cognizant of the way
that power is changing
you that's why I find Putin fascinating so what mmm like do you look in the
mirror and see like
you're not the man used to be in some dimension like this is a different human
because you're so
fucking famous
uh believe it or not I think about that very little and I think I see my
success I think so I see that
legitimately I don't think I think just interacting you offline in general I
don't think you it doesn't
look at you acknowledge yourself that you're famous like you don't you're not
living with that truth you're not like lingering it you're still pursuing the
things that make you happy that yeah I I I tend to believe that you can do the
same with power
like I tend to believe a president could do that same kind of thing that's what
we would hope right you would hope that some president gets to a position of
power not because they crave it but because they have solutions to problems and
they generally think that they can help the world
not not saying that I'm not equating my like I'm not um yeah favorably
comparing myself to a president or something like that but I um I think I got a
slow drip of fame and that's one of the things that helped me
you know I started I got on television for the first time in like the early 90s
with doing stand-up comedy and then it led to a sitcom that led to fear
factor in the UFC and all these different things and then ultimately it
accidentally led to the biggest thing that I ever did which was this is the
biggest thing you ever did this this podcast oh by far yeah by by magnitudes
but yeah massive giant numbers of magnitudes different than anything I've ever
