Joe Rogan Experience #1372 - Kevin Smith

headphones do i need them i like them i mean just to gauge my own voice uh you
don't need
them only we're not having call-ins right no no no we don't need them uh i like
how you're mocking
me with that marijuana come on man open i it's your sober october yes i know
man it's my unsober
lifetime how when was the last time you were sober how many days have you ever
done it what
a great question um let me see when was the last time there's somewhere i was
on the road
i couldn't get my hands on weed probably when i was in london or something like
that that's
usually an overseas thing right um and i went like two days and you know it's
like i did my time man
i felt like oh i i get it and i remember what this was like right but like why
bother like you know
post heart attack i feel like i'm living on borrowed time anyway so i'm like
well i'm gonna spend that
time as well as i possibly can and generally in a thc uh drenched condition
this is not a brag and
i'm not like kids you should try this at home but like i only am not ingesting
when i sleep so like
i wake really yeah all day yeah is there anything is that don't say it like
that the way you're like
all day like judgy i mean just because it's sober october i'm you'd be joining
me right yes i would but i'm
always like smoke this member november i'm always in awe of people who do go 24
7. i think really
because i only do it because i thought you did do you need to i was trying to
impress you what am i
out here alone i always had the i was under the impression you too i know you
do a lot more and
shit well let's talk about that real okay i get to interview you for sure sure
sure you know i i've
been in here in jumps and spurts right and in those jumps and spurts you have
become like the most
powerful fucking broadcaster on the planet like crazy popular everywhere then
you can crack a smile
you know i'm writing well it's don't don't go hard on me no it's weird why
because it's well can't you
enjoy it come on i wanted to like my whole life i wanted to be at the top of
something really you are
at it i was at the top of podcast for like a minute back when we started and
shit back in the old
fleshlight days but like you are now beyond you've transcended the fucking
medium you gotta tell me
don't wince you gotta tell me it feels good otherwise what am i striving for in
my career
and to be honest i don't really strive if you've seen the i do but like there
is an idea of like
you know oh man at the top it must be amazing and like no you're absolutely the
top you had snowed in on your podcast dude um everything feels exactly the same
but different
explain um it's still fun i still enjoy talking to people like you and i had my
friend kyle kalinski on
earlier i've had some really interesting people on i love i've always enjoyed
talking to interesting
people so that's the same everything's the same in that regard it's different
in that it's uh it's
very obvious when i go places that it's having more of an impact because you're
the same person
right but the world changes like the impact you put out the signal and the
world sort of changes and
shifts more lovers more haters more this more that just it's um everything just
increases it becomes
more yeah it becomes more it becomes it becomes weird people want to interview
you people want to
do things and i don't do any of those things let me tell can i tell a quick
story yeah because i don't
want i never want to cut you off because you i could listen to you you're just
a shame and you're a
guru i love coming here and i have loved coming here but now there's this
different onus to it
because it's like i better use my time wisely bernie sanders is next you know
what i'm saying like
it's it's it's it's nice but this is how authentic rogan is so we're making jay
and silent bob reboot
and i reach out to like everybody i know about being in the movie and you know
even the people
that are like oh man i don't want to go to new orleans that's far i'm like you
do remember i almost
died of a heart attack like all right i'm coming i guilted like everybody into
coming so jordan who's
our producer jason muses wife she runs our company um she's like i i reached
out to joe's manager and
then he said he's not interested i was like he you know what let me handle this
like i'll reach out to
joe i got i got joe on direct i don't need a manager man some 10 percent are
getting between
me and my boy and so i emailed or texted joe and i was like hey man we're
making reboot do you want to
come play and just flat out on front street as true as it could be he goes i
hate that acting
that's what you wrote and you were like i'm flatter but i don't want to do that
he's like i'll talk to
you about it when it's done i was like all right that's how authentic you are
that's you know you're
in a place right now where you're like you can't ruin my credibility with
shit like it's not it's not a ruin the credibility what is it i don't like
doing it it takes too much
time i don't have and that's not critical that is not and that was not me going
look what i i thought
it was a fantastic i thought it was adorable honestly i was like trying to do
less so on brands
yeah why tell me why because i do too much i'm do you know between all the
podcasts that i do doing
commentary for the ufc doing stand-up comedy there's a lot of things those
three things you've been
doing for the last decade bro there's a lot of things i mean they've all
increased perhaps like
i don't i'm not in the fighting world so i don't know if your your jobs there
have exponentially
increased i knew you were no i've actually cut that back a lot and the more i've
cut that back the more
i cut things back the happier i am and then stand-up has that stand-up is not
cut back at all so this
has increased this has increased quite a bit yeah and so the idea like i'm
doing six podcasts this week
and then i'm flying to new york on thursday and then i'm doing arty lang on friday
in new york so
that would be a seventh podcast we're going to carry that one over to the next
week right but
assist that does not leave any room for trips to new orleans to do a movie it
doesn't leave any room
to do anything this i get all these weird requests to do things that just are
not interesting i don't
want i don't want to do them and yours is one of the most interesting things i
know and believe me i'm
not putting on your spot going like why didn't you come i don't have time it
was the most on-brand
fucking response and it was also a lesson in like let me let me reach out this
manager knows nothing
and the manager exactly my manager is a rare thing she knows exactly how i feel
about everything so he
doesn't you know i just i say no to everything man i don't want to do anything
you and i started
podcasting roughly around the same time and it never occurred to me when i
started and i wonder if it
occurred to you to do seasons no right like once you just turned on the machine
the machine just kept
going and there's this there's an a gaping maw like how do you tell an audience
that's used to
access all the time like um we're gonna do it in a clip and then take a bunch
of time off and stuff
right no like a television show has seasons yeah and they they seem to do that
like i remember when
serial had like hey we're this many and we're done i'm like oh i never thought
of that yeah that's
a novel but that's a corporate approach right i mean explain well it's like the
same type of people
that would put together a television show i mean the the that's their approach
as the approach that
someone who was doing something along those lines and then transitioned into
podcasting that's how they
would approach it the way they would approach a netflix show or an hbo show or
whatever it is
have you encountered a bunch of that again you've been in the space for quite a
some time now podcast
of course it's crazy crowded everybody does it but the business my industry or
the industry that i
sometimes work in um use podcasting like uh proof of concept now so you go into
some place with a pitch
for a tv show and they're like hmm maybe why don't you try it out as a podcast
and hit us back that's
what's happening a lot that's interesting i met somebody who was a friend of
mine who like uh worked
at miramax with me back in the day uh she's gone on like she's producing like a
she put together a
podcast package where she took it to a tv network and the tv network wasn't
interested and she was like
this is a good concept man i'm gonna sell it and i think they sold it to like iheart
or something like
that six figure thing it was like 100 grand i'm like they're paying 100 grand
for podcast now and
they're like no no that's just what that person got paid to bring in that show
it's a big big crazy
industry and so i've been looking for like the last year and going like well
clearly he must be
approached on the regular to do this for somebody and clearly every time you're
like why would i bother
like i could do exactly what i want i've definitely been approached a few times
had to be like as i've
watched the star rise and rise i'm like oh my god like nobody's snatched him up
yet and then i realized
of course you've been there have been overtures but of course like you kind of
you've for those who've
never been in this place it's like why would you slap a logo on it it's your
own you built your own
fucking thing from scratch yeah well i'm pretty outside of the hollywood thing
now you know i don't
really but there's but there's a market for outside of the hollywood thing like
there is some company that
would be like we will pay you and i i suspect you've been offered crazy fucking
money and had
the integrity to be like no i still like what i'm doing i like this exactly i'm
not changing
shit the deal i mean it would have to be make me cry but i don't have to that's
so punk rock that's
so indie film that's so like like you get it a lot of people like built their
ships and then then
instantly tried to sell them and like this was one thing that like you and i
get emotional about
this you and i like we're there for the beginning of something yeah we weren't
there for the beginning
stand up you're great at it you weren't there we'll maybe be there for the
beginning of usc and
shit but like podcasting was something like you were there for the beginning of
i was there for
the beginning of and now it's saturated we were first wave there was a couple
guys before me like
corolla was before me i was mcmarin was before me you were before maren and
adam curry uh adam curry
is the absolute first he's yes he's the number one he creates it yeah and uh
have you had him on
here no i have not i don't know him i know but where does he live i have no
idea i think he's
like think about it like podcasting changed your life talk to the guy who was
the first guy that
was like yeah i think this is a good idea he named it you well last time i was
talking to you i was
like you got to get macaulay culkin on and you did he was great wasn't he
fantastic he's such a trip
i got another catch for you okay it's good and it's gonna sound promotional but
it kind of is but at
the same time it isn't but i want to tell this dude's stories but like uh there's
a company called
caviar gold makes weed i know it's sober october uh they make our weed so well
i only have a couple more
days uh oh you're gonna i'm gonna leave you with this and you're gonna be in
heaven
