Joe Rogan Experience #1278 - Kevin Hart

here we go in five four three two one
yes and all the fucking people that make me feel lazy in this world there's two
okay make me feel
you and the rock you fuckers don't look like you ever sleep no no no no days
off that's why i love
his unattractive ass he's uh he's uh he's a person that that motivates me
inspires me and the fact
that we're we're co-workers we're friends um i think it's a i think it's like a
it's a blessing
it's a blessing to be around that yeah because it truly it's it's uplifting you
know it makes you
it just makes you weed out the circle when you're around people that truly give
you like uh give you
some good serve a good value to you in your life you then look at those that
don't and you can you
can then push away so i'm big on i'm big on personality i'm big on energy i'm
big on will
and wants uh i believe that it's contagious so if you have a a bunch of laziness
and a bunch of
bullshit around you naturally it's going to feed off you're going to find
yourself becoming what's
in your environment so i feel the exact same way and when i see a guy like him
i see that in you i see
that in you that's right i feel like that scene in avatar i see you i see you
yeah but a guy like
that like i always wonder like how much of that is like i've had sleep experts
on the podcast to tell
you like like there's real problems if you don't get enough sleep like you
could you have a much
higher risk of alzheimer's all these other serious issues but i see a guy like
the rock i'm like how the
does he sleep well where's the room for sleep you know that that's true i can't
say that i'm
that i've witnessed the sleep patterns but he's he's a late ass so he does i
know he's sleeping at
some point because like what are we waiting on what are we waiting on dj god
damn it he's he's probably
getting his rest which is well deserved um but you know when you when you say
you had these sleep
experts and stuff on it's always a thing that i go back and forth about because
what is enough sleep
like i'm a person i function high off of six to seven hours yeah six seven
hours i'm i'm functioning
yeah five hours i'm great do i do the five hour thing all the time no but if i
have to i'm fine um i
don't need the eight and the nine i feel like that's too much for me like i'm i'm
i'm an early
riser and now that i'm getting older you know if i can get in that bed by 9 30
or 10 on an off work
day i'm very happy with that but then i'm up at 5 30. right i'm up at five so
what is enough sleep
what do they tell you it really depends on the person there are people that
have a gene where they
can just sleep four hours a night i got that you might go i got that is that a
disease what is that
does that mean my blood is gold what is that what is this means you got special
genes god damn right
i'm alien i got some shit well there are there are people that just don't need
as much they can they
can go a long time without sleep diagnose me i'm one of those people you might
be i bet a lot of
high functioning people are because your body tends to you get more efficient
you know like you're
always going you're always burning and hard so your body's like when it's time
to shut down it's like
shut down get that five six hours in all right back to work let's go i will i
will confess this i am
an amazing catnapper yeah i'm i'm one of those guys that's a good move if you
stop talking to me
long enough i'm i'm gonna fall asleep right here it's something about silence
really and just not doing
anything and i just well that's probably you're probably going on momentum all
the time you probably
you're probably going on motivation and momentum okay and when your body has
this break your body's
like we can use a little sleep right here that's just that's 100 right yeah i'm
serious that's i know
for sure that that's accurate because i'm i'll catnap in heartbeat do you feel
like you've hit a good
balance so this is what i always wonder about with guys like you or guys like
the rock when i look at
your instagram your social media and you're just constantly going like god damn
do you ever feel like you do too much like maybe i just need to take a little
break here do you ever
feel like that i think the perception definitely perceives reality you know uh
what looks like so
much isn't always so much because you have a schedule and you know within that
schedule there's the
things that mean the most that come and act as downtime you know me and my
house is downtime even though
it's still active and i gotta be dad and i'm with the kids and the wife and
this conversation and i'm
running around and i'm back and forth that still acts as downtime for me like i'm
shutting the work
off so the phone is in the office i'm not going back to get in until the
morning and it's all conversation
it's all tv it's all taco tuesdays it's couch and cuddling uh you know baby
time whatever that's my
downtime because i'm i've taken a step outside of the other shit that's wise
that's that's what i think i do
very well i can step outside the other shit i can separate it so i think when
you're able to do that
then you're you're managing your mental you know i mean like if it's if it's
always one thing all the
time that's how you fucking drive yourself crazy because you're never you're
never shutting it off
yeah and i think i do a good job of shutting shutting this off and focusing on
this like when i'm with my
family i'm with my family nothing is nothing interjects or comes in between
that's
fantastic that's so important it's 100 that's beautiful i figured that out that's
gigantic
i think i figured it out that's it man i think i figured it out i mean you've
got so much success
it's not you have to be with that fucking phone all the time that's that that's
the phone is the
big one right the phone the phone is is the gift and the curse you know i think
that we we shot out the
gate and saw the gift oh my god it's it's it's community it's connecting us we're
able to share
we're able to meet new people we're we're able to stay in communication with
with old people find new
people as entertainer i can engage with my fans and this is so dope and then
after that you get hit with
the the curse and the curse is there's a there's a high level of negativity
that's out there that's on
that shit you know there's there's a lot of people that are you know not happy
or or going through
things and they interject a certain amount of negativity and hatred through
these devices
these devices are the easiest way to touch everybody so when you're just
consumed on that
shit all day you start to see yourself being a part of the negative shit yeah
so what i've learned to do
is go i don't i don't need to see that i don't need to see that shit i don't i
don't pay that any mind
i don't read that shit for what it's not it's not helping me it's not making me
better it's not
it's not uh pushing me to new limits if anything is taking up just creative
space by me literally
spending time going and and navigating through what i think is is a bunch of
bullshit yeah so i don't
let the device beat me and at one point i definitely did at one point it was
everything
it was everything it was you know now i separated i know how'd you break clear
of it what what
when you realize what it is when you see when you see the bad you know when you
see the bad side of it
i thought the other day this is some real shit and it really made me think my
phone died my phone died and
i'm driving and i was using the fucking maps and i was like oh shit what the
fuck how am i get to where
i don't know where i'm going and i sat and i was like yo how did we how did we
get from point a to
point b before the map shit what what are we doing that i used to print out
directions from google maps i
remember that but then before that how did you get to the places where you were
going that you didn't
know how to get to i don't even remember do you remember thomas guides do you
ever have a thomas guide
i did have a thomas guide when i first moved to la i had to get one i did have
a thomas guide
giant ass 100 bill burr had one until like three years ago bill probably still
uses it shout out to
bill burr but it really fucked me up because i was like how do we don't even
know how how to do the
common yeah the the norm anymore because the device has made everything
available and i literally had to
drive to a store where i could buy a charger charge up my phone to get back and
use the map to get to
where the fuck i was going because i had no idea how to get there i had no i
didn't know no numbers
by heart i didn't know who i was gonna call what what phone like yo this was
the moment where i was
like what level of success have i reached i just pulled over and i sat there
and i was like how the
fuck am i gonna get to where you have a spare phone man i don't know what it
was a backup phone it
felt like the end of the world it felt like it felt like it was over i was like
shit isn't that crazy
how dependent you are but that's when the light bulb started to click yeah it
started to click like how
how do we function without i want to go backwards a little bit yeah it's still
there i still need it
i still think it's dope with all of the things that we can do on it but i still
want to be able to put it
down and and step away from it i want my kids to be able to step away from it
that's why when i come
in the house my phone is up because i can't i can't complain at y'all about
being on your phone
if you see me doing the same thing right right so that time those conversations
me wanting to know
about your day you talking to me about your day your friends who you like who
don't you like
my daughter you what boy who what huh no all right god my son yeah i like
somebody who oh jesus here it
comes it's it's it's a great thing and i want to be able to have those moments
and you know i think
it's it's it's big to make sure that you prioritize that are you worried about
what comes next 100 i'm
worried that something's gonna be way more intrusive than that it's it's what
do you mean it's already
happening yeah the biggest scare happened already with the the the facetime
that happened where what
happened well apple uh on the iphones it was like people could listen in to
your oh yeah if you didn't
even pick up yeah they could just listen in to it yeah and you know that was
the scariest ever
because it's if it's that easy to have a bug like that what's the thing that's
not a bug
that's there that you just don't know about oh there's definitely government
listening to us 100
yeah recording everything everybody says and then in case one day you do
something wrong they go back
you aside mr hart i would like you to sit down for a minute we're gonna play
you something 100 yeah so
the fear is the next level of immersion intrusive you know yeah i think
everything has become
intrusive now like the toughest thing for me is that there is no there is no
privacy outside
my home right you know the the amount of money that you have to now spend just
on security on you know
people to to be with me security to be on my home you know it's like there
there literally is no privacy
and it's not that i bitch and complain about it because without the fans
without the people that
support me i wouldn't be where i am but there's no middle ground right you know
there is no handshakes
anymore it's it's how you doing right right yeah handshake is so much better
right to get a moment
like i'm we can talk if that's what you want no no yo say it now it's it's kind
of weird because you
you're doing this to me it's kind of weird to have a conversation so you're
just starting to see yourself
become a little older and wiser and uh just really see the times for what they
are and see the direction
that we're going in as people and just hope and pray that we find a middle
ground because i think
right now there isn't one yeah that's what i'm feeling now no i feel it too and
i especially i
mea
