Joe Rogan Experience #1051 - Duncan Trussell & Christopher Ryan

live with that goodbye yellow brick road yeah that's some good song oh yeah
dude
the is back oh and we're live ladies and gentlemen shrimp parade powerful duncan
trussell's in the
house yeah i'm back dr chris ryan looking like you're fresh off of vacation
like we just pulled
you pulled you out of someone's sailboat i was on a fishing trip perfect right
yeah yeah the endless
vacation we were talking about uh elton john right before we started and i i
think there's
some elton john songs that are just all-time classics you know yeah what are
your favorites top three
boy um man do you like daniel that's the best daniel's a great song rocket man
is one of my
favorites rocket man's great rocket man what do you think that's about i don't
know i never i never
thought about that let me let me go over the lyrics you know that's one of
those songs you just the
lyrics almost become inconsequential because the lyrics are oh this is the
sound that song makes
i remember that song that song has this feeling it's like listening to a song
in a different language
right right the voice is just an instrument it's weird when you find out what a
song's about and it's
the opposite oh what does it say what it is no this is just the lyrics yeah it's
it's it's about an
astronaut they're uh no lyrics i don't think it is i think it's about like snorting
ketamine is that
what it is it's about i think it's about like getting blasted i miss my wife i
miss the earth so much yeah
are you just guessing duncan well i mean i we all get to interpret music in our
own way but for sure
that's elton john he's in some hotel room he's laid out some lines of ketamine
he's about
what it says here it says uh during the drug era given that it was penned
during the 1970s drug era
people can still see that it serves as an extended metaphor comparing fame to
space travel
wow that makes that makes a ton of sense but it also i bet it also was about
rocket travel
because bernie tomp and wrote it right yeah he wrote it he wrote him on yeah
what a great combination
yeah the two of those guys it's like you and young jamie well very similar
nobody ever hears about
young jamie last time i was here i tried to get him on my podcast he's he's eluding
me yeah really
he's smart i remember that sorry doesn't want to be on your crazy podcast out
in the woods
come in the van jamie hey um saturday night that's a great one all right for
fight yeah
that's a great one that's a great workout that's a real kind of like treadmill
yeah yeah yeah it's
like a punk british yeah saturday night daniel's the first time i really
thought about spain it's
about daniel my brother he's heading out on the plane i can see the red tail
lights heading for spain
now that's about his friend dying for sure he's blind no oh it's about his
blind brother i'm
misinterpreting all these you must have that experience a lot i like him less i
don't like
what his songs are about well you know what's interesting about this
conversation is trying
to interpret what songs are is the very actual thing that happened when people
were trying to
interpret the stories from the bible but it's basically the same thing we're
trying to figure
out no he meant this no he meant that these parables and some of the stories
that are in
the bible yeah you know if you go to the john marco allegro definition what
does it say a song was
written from his younger brother's perspective hmm a story about a guy who went
back to a small town
in texas returning from the vietnam war wow okay that's daniel and he was blind
right your eyes have
died but you see more than i oh wow yeah huh do you still feel the pain of the
scars that won't heal
have you guys heard you know that song summer of 69 jamie maybe you can bring
this brian adams one and
that's about like actually 60 69ing oh really yeah that's what i'm not getting
like every single one
of my interpretations is completely wrong but look it up because i think the
summer of 69 is like one
interpretation is that's like a a fuck summer he had where he was like 69ing
all summer is that is that
true yes is it true ding ding here we go i had my first real six string uh brian
adams fourth album
reckless summer 69 in many meetings although one of them including life in 1969
while another includes
making love with someone hence using the number 69 as a reference boy that's
not accurate the way
they said that this is like the internet interpretation sorry um what i meant
was it's like you would never
say that that wouldn't be how you convey your feelings like if you're writing
that song like the summer of 69
and this say hold on go back to that please it says while another includes
making love with someone
that is just that's not an accurate way i don't know man you're talking about
69ing i mean yeah
you're making love but you're getting crazy it's like there's more to it than
that that's like the same
thing is like trying to interpret stories from a bible or something like that
like you're boiling them
down like you're trying to figure out what was this guy actually saying yeah
you know like literary
interpretation yeah yeah it's all poetry right my favorite example of a song
that sort of misleads
you i mean i really like songs where the cover's better than the original
because the person doing
the cover gets what the song's about better than the original artist does i
mean all along the watchtower
hendrix's version is way better than dylan's right dylan actually said that but
my favorite example in
recent music is um uh hey yeah by outcast oh okay you know shake it like a polaroid
picture hey my baby
don't mess around because she loves me so yeah you know it's real upbeat listen
to the words but does
she really want to but can't stand to see me walk out the door don't try to
stop the feeling because
the thought alone is killing me right now thank god for mom and dad for
sticking two together because we
don't know how it's all about how we don't know how to love each other wow yeah
hey fellas what's cooler
than being cool ice cold if what they say is nothing lasts forever than what
makes love the exception
oh why oh why are we so in denial when we know we're not happy here wow it's a
really sad song super
sad yeah there's a dude who did a cover of it obadiah parker see the thing that
i really like
about he gets it he gets the sadness of it play some of that
i can't stand to fight the feeling because the thought alone is killing me
right now
holy it's depressing thank god she's really good mom and dad for sticking two
together because we don't know
wow
this is fucking great
there's people right now screaming at their phone
you're retarded joe rogan you don't know what great is
i'm so fucking sick of your music tastes it's so bad bro your music tastes are
so bad i get more
tweets about how bad my taste is in music and movies and television blame it on
me
and that cut chris ryan yeah i was i was looking at something the other day
some something on some video yours the comments or something and it occurred to
me
how you have your audience is first of all so large and also so mixed because
you've got your
fingers in all these different worlds that you must get a lot more hostility
than someone like
duncan or me because our audience is more sort of homogeneous i would think i'm
the bridge between
the meatheads and the potheads exactly so there's conflict no matter which way
you go there's a little
but the meatheads kind of get that like the like if you want to go to the far
end of the extreme is
like the ufc fans but the ufc fans know like i'm a i'm a representative like i'm
i'm doing my best
like they know i'm 100 into this this is not like i'm not like some actor that
they hired right to
promote this so i but then you got all the way to the far left which is the
psychedelic people and i
got a ton of vegan followers and people that are really into yoga and it's like
all of them together
it's like the weirdest fucking house party when you see them sometimes in the
comments well no man
this is like this ramdas retreat that i just went to one of the one of the
people who runs the retreat
wanted me to tell to thank you because he's like you know your podcast brings a
lot of people to these ramdas
retreats which is to me it was such a strange thing to think man that you're
like magnetizing people
and and bringing them down a slippery slope where they land in maui hanging out
with like buddhist and
like yeah hindu teachers it's really crazy man it's a very odd thing how many
like how many
tentacles you have fucking burning man jesus christ burning man everybody wants
you to go man you've
got to go you gotta go when is it again it's like it's during elk hunting
season it's late august
you can't you can't bring some elk's to burning man what do you i can't
interact with that many
people i can't do that anymore those days are done but you know what what has
changed like a big one
of the biggest thing that's ever changed because of this podcast the float
industry yeah float industry
has taken off i get like residual gratitude from float places like i know you
know joe rogan you can
float for free wow that's amazing yeah well the thing is it just didn't make
any sense to me that
before i was talking about it no one was talking about it this was something
that was invented by
lily in what 1960 something yeah the first one where you were vertical you know
he had one where you
would wear a helmet and you had a harness and the helmet would float you you
know and then he figured
out the salt thing and um i mean the fact that this was not a popular thing was
blowing me away well it
was but then it died because of the aids thing yeah i don't think it was ever
this popular no no but
it was much it was higher then it dropped a lot the aids thing killed it yeah
because nobody knew how
he sort of brought it back in yeah but with john lily you know what's
interesting about him people
leave out about him a lot is that he was talking to aliens and it's an
interesting thing that people
just kind of push all that shit aside they know him as the float guy invented
float tanks and the dolphin
guy and the dolphin guy but also they completely leave out that he was going
into those tanks and claiming
some kind of communication with something called the ecc or something ecco you
know about that yeah the
earth coincidence control office or something you know about that is that in
the center of the cyclone
yeah center of the cyclone but he was going way out talking about some kind of
like invisible i guess network that produces coincidences i don't understand it
at all but
people just completely leave that out that the guy who created float tanks was
using them
to communicate with entities and he was using a lot of ketamine a lot of ketamine
yeah or
maybe they they're leaving out that the guy who invented float tanks lost his
shit there toward
the end well maybe but i think that i don't know what's happening when you're
doing psychedelics
but there are certain psychedelics where it absolutely feels like you're
experiencing another
life form communicating with you for sure for sure right now if that's the case
with ketamine as well
ketamine seems to be like me personally my personal bias i sort of dismiss it
because i think of it as some
sort of uh chemical compound thing some sort of a synthetic thing that man's
created like ketamine
like what it's something more reliable but i think that's just my own ignorance
i think really it we're
just talking about chemicals right and how chemicals that exist in nature it's
like when someone says it's
it's an artificial chemical well that's not real because everything is natural
everything's here
like it might have been concocted and put together and baked and cooked and
synthesized by a person
but of course it's all natural everything that's exists is a part of nature semantics
though because
it is and it isn't in that these chemicals most likely have some
