Joe Rogan Experience #1249 - Donnell Rawlings

oh shit i think fall off those pieces of shit see this one you're too fancy bro
yeah they get too
fancy yeah whatever this one we got another one oh we're live already i hate
when you said go
whoops sorry uh cheers sir thank you my pleasure my pleasure don't know we were
talking about uh
the different kinds of comedians that there really are like meme comedians they're
they're comedians
they have a special skill set it's a different thing they have they have a
special skill set in
fact one of my closest friends bearded humor he's like um i would say if he was
a stand-up comic
he would probably be be in my top five in terms of creativity in terms of uh uh
talking about things
in the moment and just all out funny you know the skill set for stand-up then
it used to be i started
25 years ago used to be the only way you proved yourself as a person with any
type of comedic
integrity while i was on stage standing flat-footed in front of an audience
that you probably don't want
you to be funny or no have have no idea you're gonna be funny but these mean
these mean people
photoshop especially because our attention is so quick and so drawn to social
media people i don't
you know if people are as excited about stand-up as they used to be and now it's
excited about what's
going to be the newest thing what's going to be the what's going to be the
hottest photo the photoshop
most can be the hottest image well that's the easiest to get right it's easier
to get it on
your phone you get those images the photoshops and the memes that are funny
that hit you immediately
but i think right now i mean especially when you go to the store don't you
think there's like
more people interested in stand-up now than ever yeah but it's so we we're in a
we're in a tricky
place now people are interested in it but people are so they're more critical
of stand-up now more
than ever ever used to be a time when you could just say uh what you wanted and
people say that
that person was outspoken outrageous but they were themselves but now you tell
one joke uh one blogger
one troller dissects your jokes and prints your jokes don't do the setup don't
do the callback
don't do the tag and next thing you know you offended somebody yeah but i think
with a lot of events
that happen today uh that are happening now comedy is going to start taking a
shift back to
people with honest voices i think so too i think there's a direct backlash to
like political
correct thinking and the the type of uh policing that you're seeing you see you've
been police i
mean you i understand policing stuff in the catholic church police police and
stuff in a regular church
but you go to a comedy club to police you're in the wrong place and nine times
out of ten people that
go to a comedy show they'll walk out and protest their mindset was to protest
before they even went
there yeah they're just waiting for the trigger word just like well i never and
they'll leave
well it's a way to get a lot of attention you know being outraged at something
especially if you kind
of have a point like if you could you could articulate that point right it's a
great way to get attention
with the people that the trollers and the people that yeah i mean there's a
there's a giant market
for that like if you think of like uh if you're a comic and you're a famous
comic and you're outspoken
you know and someone could take your bit and and take it apart like they've
done with chappelle
many times right but chappelle owns it so much he owns it i was just with him
and you i've never seen
a guy that flips our sets over like he's just writing another five minute bit
that's weird right
but the thing but the thing is now i've watched some of his new stuff and
things he's doing now
he's going to lead to charge for comedians having a voice i did a show with him
at the store recently
and at the end of it he said comedians now more than ever you need to grab your
balls because it's
our job to talk about the things that are bad in this world yeah and we are the
best people for it
well it's the last line of free speech it's the last real line of free speech
because you don't have
a real boss right like when you go on stage it's no one's no one gives you a
single word of direction
right you know that's that's a very unusual place to be in in terms of
entertainment and something
that reaches especially with someone like dave millions and millions and
millions of people
every time he does a netflix special every time somebody he does anything that's
filmed it's
gonna hit millions of people to have no one telling you what to do no one no
one giving you and then
when they try to tell you what to do you you resisted it and you do what you
want to do he's a real
comic he's a real but you have that i've been following you for a while i've
been a comedy store
for years i'm always in the cut and i've seen you do some material like how the
does he get away with
this you know i know how because he owns it and i really believe what i'm
saying in a lot of ways
like in other things it's obvious that i don't really believe it but i'm saying
it because i
think it's funny and i think you know what i think comedy is for us as much as
people are like oh i need
that i think for comedians it's therapeutic for us too yeah there's a hundred
percent can you imagine
the situation you have an argument with your wife or somebody and you can't go
on stage that night just
to talk about how pissed off she made you yeah that's our outlet yeah so as
much as people get stuff out
of us when you come to a show we get now our psychiatric exam right on the spot
yeah also like
you could complain about some right you can complain about someone saying
something or something
how or you could turn it into a bit and you can get hundreds of people just
dying laughing all right
i've had some i had some conflicts online one of them with a bunch of vegans
they conflict so you
entertain somebody you try to be you're like i don't got time for that i'm not
going to entertain but
every once in a while you just want to punch a troll in the face just i would
read the comments that's
the problem is that occasionally you read the comments like holy like people
just want you dead
because you know anyway i had this whole uh thing in my act about uh chasing
down the hashtag vegan cat
somebody wrote some mean to me and this hashtag vegan cat i was like what the
is that i went
there and there's a whole community of people feeding their cats vegetables and
but but in in doing this
and like tracking this down and chase and like it makes you realize like okay i
gotta write a bit
about this because i could just get mad it's easy it writes itself yeah it
writes itself i could just
get mad and be upset that someone's being mean to me or i can turn this into
fuel or you could just go
fucking just destroy the whole vegan community there's nothing it's not the v
it's nothing wrong with
vegans i don't really know too many vegans that aren't assholes bro i know some
vegans that aren't
assholes i don't know rich roll he's a great guy john joseph he's a great guy
neil brennan he's a
vegan he's an asshole he's a little bit oh man neil brennan is a prick what are
you talking about man
you can tell when people are turning to s when they the is embodying him yeah
especially people
wear glasses because they work they have like million different frames that's
when you're at
the next level of being an asshole when you switch your glasses up but neil brennan
is a vegan he's
one of those i don't think vegans should be allowed to go to a barbecue and
complain and complain they
all come to a barbecue they got their patties they're upset if you've been
cooking meat on a grill that was
designed to cook dead animals yeah that's what they get up and they get upset
so all vegans are assholes
i'm sorry it's not all of them but i see what you're saying all the ones that i
know and then because
because when they make when they make their transition they can't just become
vegans they gotta they just
gotta let you know i'm vegan now they can't wait you say dinner is it vegan
options it's vegan vegan they
just can't do it they got to make an announcement and they gotta let everybody
know that i'm a vegan
and now and i'm an they think they're saving the world yep and the worst is a
vegan that always gets
colds yo whenever i see neil brennan coughing whenever i see him calling i say
so how's that vegan
life calling you flu-having ass i always say that to ian edwards i'm like dude
you look tired you look
exhausted i take pictures of ian every time we fly together and he falls asleep
i take
pictures of ian just sitting there i'm like look at ian motherfucking protein
get some goddamn b12 in
your diet get a steak in your motherfucking diet he said he would eat meat but
he would only eat elk
that i killed he said he would eat some uh some elk meats i'm gonna cook him
some elk meat we're gonna
we should film it he'll probably like bounce around like super person like he's
been eating nothing but
lentils for the last 20 years elk how to where does one go to even shoot an elk
utah um colorado has a lot of them
there's some of them in california how do you transport is there a loss can you
transport
your kill or you have to break it down wherever wherever you kill it you uh you
have to have uh
first of all you have a tag and then when you when you have a tag you're
allowed to get a certain kind
of animal so say if it's like uh you have a buck deer tag that means you can
kill a male deer and then
once you kill it then you break it down and you either bring it to a butcher
shop and they turn it
into cuts for you or you could do it yourself and wrap it up but you have to
have a tag you have to
register that you killed that animal and you have to keep that that that with
you that paperwork with you
so if you transport the the meat across state lines and some game warden pulled
you over and said you
have a deer in your car and you said do sir he's got to see that you have the
paperwork for it
i don't want to sound um racist at all but i don't know a black person that
could tell that story that
you just told about killing butchering up and transporting a dead animal yeah
that's what you
have to do that's how you do it you got to put them on ice i mean you have to
you have an obligation
to try to save the meat you know you when you uh have an animal and it's down
you want to get it into
like a packaged form as quick as possible you want to break it down sometimes
dude sometimes people hang
things they hang things in their garage and the cold too so you when you
mentioned the word hanging
all i think about is jesse some i'm gonna let oh my god talk about setting a
whole bunch of people back
in one interview crazy story interesting such a mess it's a mess and i think
was really awful about it because
his story it was it was like good and bad of it the good of it was when people
thought that
he was violated and he was a victim of a hate crime it wasn't just gay people
that was uh
rushing to support him it was like thug dudes you know what i'm saying it was
like
some real that was like i mean i saw exhibit make a comment it was a community
of people away
from the lbg community that thought it was really up yeah and that's that was
the beauty of the incident
because it kind of brought people together and but the thing about it it was
just a lie and it's so
unfortunate it's so unfortunate somebody would play on people's emotions yeah
for or to benefit
themselves it's it's awful well there's a certain narcissism that exists in
show business that i
think you and i both know very well you know we've all seen it and thankfully
the people that seem to
be the best for whatever reason they have the some of the best handles on it
like dave doesn't show
any of that right but there's some people that do and that narcissism is weird
that that wanting it
to be all about them and they'll do sneaky shit like f
