Joe Rogan Experience #1078 - Jimmy Dore

Three, two, Jamie with the quick count, Jimmy Dore, we're live.
Oh, fantastic.
Do you use headsets or no?
Oh, should I wear a headset?
I wear a headset, sure.
It's up to you.
I just feel lonely if I'm the only guy with headsets.
Oh, okay.
Is that better?
Oh, I got some notes.
I got the private gear going, hey, what time is it?
It's 1101, one minute after 11, 59 minutes from the top of 12 hours.
Did you ever do that?
Did you ever do like a regular radio show?
I had, in college, I had a radio show, but it wasn't real.
It was, it just broadcast to no one, actually, it turned out.
To the campus?
Yeah.
Was it just to the campus?
It was supposed to be going out to the campus, and then we found out about
three months in
it wasn't going out to anybody.
I always had dreams of doing a radio show, but I always knew that I would fuck
it up.
You know, I'm like, I'd get fired or something.
I never, and I never thought anybody would hire me.
I got in trouble at that station for playing the same song three times in a row.
Because it was so good?
Yeah, I liked it.
What was the song?
I don't even remember.
It was like some off-brand, I never heard of them, like the Rabbini Brothers.
I was like, that's a fun song.
They fired you from a college station for that?
They didn't fire me.
They came in and they yelled at me, and I was like, this isn't even going out
to anyone.
And if it was a nice day, and I had to do my radio shift, I would just come in
and simulcast
with the FM, because I was on AM, and simulcast with the FM station, because I
wanted to go
out in the quad.
I wanted to sit in that studio.
It was a nice day.
I wonder if anybody has done this.
I mean, I don't think you could do it and put ads on it, but you could do it as
just a
fun project.
Have your own radio show on a podcast where you just play songs.
Could you do that, Jamie?
No, I think because you can't give people, if you give people a download of a
song, that's
illegal.
Oh, right.
Okay.
Yeah.
That's why, yeah.
So you could stream it, though, maybe?
Like, stream it on YouTube?
Maybe.
Maybe, but not.
Probably not.
But you'd still have to pay some kind of royalties for those songs.
I don't know what.
Even if you weren't making any money off of it, you'd have to pay?
I think so.
So if someone's streaming your jokes, they have to pay.
Yeah, but the thing is, nobody wants to hear your jokes more than once.
That's the problem with jokes.
That's not true, Joe.
Really?
All right.
First of all, let me blow smoke up your ass a little bit.
I'm not actually.
It's just sincere.
So I've seen you do comedy before.
I saw you.
We did the 2004, I think it was the Aspen Festival.
We were on the opening night show at the Wheeler Opera House.
And then I saw you do sets at the Improv.
And I always thought you were funny, you know, but I never remembered any of
your jokes.
And then I saw you at the Comedy Store a couple weeks ago, and I've been doing
your act ever since.
I've been telling your jokes everywhere I go to anybody who will listen, and
everybody falls down laughing.
Those jokes that you have, first of all, the joke about Weinstein is just so
goddamn funny.
And then the joke about the wrestling, goddammit.
Thanks, man.
And it's hard for me to not say them right in your face right now.
I know that would be not good if I did your jokes right to you, but I can't not
do it.
Those are some of the funniest jokes I've heard in a long time.
And I know people are going to be saying, oh, he's such a kiss-ass.
I'm not kidding.
I love comedy, and I love jokes, and I can remember jokes that I like.
And Harvey Weinstein, that's so goddamn funny.
I'm going to rush to get that onto a Netflix special because I'm worried it's
going to get old.
Yeah, right.
Because right now, you know, it's like it happened a couple of months ago.
It's still okay.
And I'm recording in April.
And I'm like, boy, April is like the wire.
That's like under the wire.
Yeah.
I think it'll be okay because there's not going to be a bigger raper or
whatever than Harvey Weinstein could come.
He's the pinnacle, right?
Right.
Like if you had a Cosby joke today, it's still okay because he's such a raper.
That's right.
I forgot Cosby.
How could you forget?
Did you see the recent shit where Cosby was at a barbershop?
There's videos of him hanging out at the barbershop talking about jazz trivia
with all the barbershop guys in Philly.
No.
Yeah.
He actually performed recently at a jazz club.
Yeah.
He showed up at this jazz club and performed and then announced that he was
going to perform at another place.
He's like he's back while he's in between trials.
Wow.
So, see, that's the weird thing.
I always wondered, like, he was still selling tickets.
Yeah.
Like, people will still show up to see him.
Well, before no one, before anyone knew for sure what was going on, there was a
couple of accusations and everybody was like, what is this?
Like, what is this really?
Is this real?
Is this someone doing a shakedown?
And then they started, just the fucking tsunami of accusations started piling
in, which is really incredible when you think about how many years that guy was
doing that.
It's unbelievable how he could get away with that for so long.
It's terrifying.
And then something, and then now it's like you just go on a bad date and you're,
you get in trouble.
Like Aziz Ansari?
Yes.
That's horrible, right?
Yeah.
Now, well, it's the pendulum swings.
You know, I think it's, it's, it's kind of open season on men right now.
And it'll swing back around and it'll be normal again.
And, you know, it makes sense.
I mean, there's so many of these accusations that happen, you know, after a
while they pile up and then there's just like anti-male resentment.
And then it'll swing back and it'll normalize.
And people are sort of reacting to the Aziz thing.
And they say, well, that went a little too far.
And then the woman who was in charge of the California woman, who was a big Me
Too supporter, she got busted.
Did you see that?
Oh, no.
Yeah.
She was grabbing some dude's dick and grabbing his ass.
And she was drunk.
And she's, she's a congresswoman.
No kidding.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You ever, you ever, you ever, you ever, you ever, you ever, you ever do that to
you?
Yeah, I've been grabbed.
You know, like Bill Burr said this famously, and he's 100% correct.
It's after shows, drunk women in their 40s, they get a little liquored up, they
get crazy.
And they just, they'll go for it.
They get a little grabby.
They grab that ass.
They'll go for it.
And, you know, did you, did you feel violent?
No.
You know, it's, it's, anybody who says it's not different from men is just a
liar.
It's not physically scary.
It's like if my daughter comes and punches me and kicks me, you know, like she'll
do that for fun, just as a joke.
It's not threatening.
Right?
It's fun.
It's silly.
But if you did it, I'd be like, hey man, don't fucking hit me.
Like a man hits you.
It's different.
Like if a man is trying to grab a woman's ass, you're talking about someone
larger grabbing someone smaller.
It's scary.
It's dangerous.
The real threat of rape is actually there.
No 40-year-old lady's going to rape me.
You know?
It's not going to happen, unless I want it to.
It's just not, it's not going to go down that way.
Like I'd have to be really sick.
I'd have to be something really wrong with me.
Well, there was this guy, and see, this is how I like remembering jokes.
I haven't seen this guy probably tell jokes for 25 years.
His name is Paul Kelly.
And it was right in the 80s, or at the end of the 80s, when women were in the
workforce, and that was like one day at a time.
Remember that show?
It was all about women.
Right, sure.
And so things were weird in the workplace.
Men didn't know how to talk to women and how to act.
And then they would go, oh, she's just like one of the guys.
Remember that?
They would say that.
Yeah.
That was the highest compliment you could give a woman.
She's like one of the guys.
We don't have to act weird around her.
And this guy, Paul Kelly, that's when people started to talk about sexual
harassment.
And he said, see, men, we don't understand what that is.
It's like, oh, wait a minute.
You mean you're going to touch my dick while I type and I get insurance?
Well, we say that, but my friend TJ, do you know the amazing atheist?
Do you know who he is?
Oh, I do know who he is.
I've seen his show on YouTube.
Very funny guy.
He told me, and he's kind of an introvert, he told me that he was working in an
office once,
and a woman who was his boss was sexually harassing him.
And it was completely unwanted, and she would grab him, and he would lock up,
he'd freeze and be uncomfortable, and it was gross.
You know, he said he was real, but he's a big guy.
I mean, he wasn't physically in danger.
I'm sure it felt super uncomfortable, but it's always going to be a notch,
several notches, less scary.
Well, because she can't take out her dick and stick it in you.
There you go.
That's a big difference.
That's right.
The thing is the violation.
Yeah.
That's like the fact that someone could physically hold you against your will
and just stick something in you.
And penetrate you.
Yeah.
Take, yeah, get into your body.
Yes, inside of you.
Yeah.
Like a woman literally can't do that.
She can engulf you.
That could be scary.
Someone engulfing you.
Oh, Jesus.
Engulfing you.
It just doesn't seem as scary, though.
It's just not the same violation.
What happened, officer?
Well, he said he was engulfed.
He engulfed my dick with his ass.
He just took it over.
Just tell your Weinstein joke.
Just tell it.
No.
Can't do it.
It'll be on.
I'm recording in April, so it's close.
We're only two months away.
Have you done that wrestling joke on a special?
No.
No, all the stuff's new.
All the stuff is from my last special, which was last year, to now.
Well, you know, I have been, what it was, what makes, I think, that set stick
in my mind also
is that it made me jealous, right?
Like, you know, I don't know if you get jealous.
I still get jealous when I see someone doing something better than me.
I want to do it.
And I'm like, God damn it.
It made me want to get out and calm because I haven't been doing comedy as much.
And, you know, it's like a muscle.
I think Jerry Seinfeld said, if I don't do comedy for about four days, I notice
a difference.
And if I don't do comedy for five days, they can notice.
So I haven't been, since I started my YouTube show, it's, I haven't been doing
stand-up
as much as I should.
And I stopped touring like I should.
And I miss it.
I want to do another special.
And watching, and that night of comedy at the comedy store made me go, God damn
it.
I got to get out here and start, what the fuck am I doing?
That's the highest compliment you can pay a comic.
God damn it.
I felt that many times.
You know, that feeling of just being inspired.
I just want to go home and write.
Yeah, and I was, you know, I mean, my set went fine, but it wasn't, I'm not on
my game
right now.
You know, I have to really start working it again, which I have started.
And I'm going out and it's, it's my, I forgot.
It's like, this is all I ever wanted to do in my life was stand-up comedy.
And like being a stand-up comic to me was like being Ray Liotta in Goodfellas.
Like, you know, I didn't wait in line.
I fucking wanted something.
I took it.
I, you know, I don't fucking follow rules or listen to your bullshit.
I fucking do what I want.
I say what I want and they pay me for it.
And that's, I just fucking love that shit.
And it, and then I started doing the YouTube show and I, it becomes a job,
right, for me.
And it's a grind in a sense and doing comedy.
I so miss sleeping till noon and then getting up, working out, having, all you
had to do
is figure out who am I going to have lunch with today?
That was my big decision.
Right.
Who am I going to have lunch with?
Then I go home after the lunch.
I have a nap.
Then I go out and do a show.
It's fucking, it was the greatest life in
