Joe Rogan Experience #973 - Wheeler Walker, Jr.

boom that's it we're live we're on now fuck yeah joe rogan my man thanks so
much for having me
back thanks for coming back there's a lot of everywhere i this is the fucking
tonight show
man before i go man i heard you on joe rogan heard you on joe rogan it's been
the last year
in my life so um i can stop stop fucking answering them when i'm gonna be back
i'm back right now
you are back right now yeah it feels weird it feels like it feels like i was
here like two days ago
that's a problem maybe you were drinking too much on the road i definitely was
drinking too much i'm i
i uh i went to my the last tour i ended up uh in uh i don't want to make it
sound too bad i ended up in
emergency room in the last tour with the with the ivs with the fucking really
and shit yeah
i went a little too i don't know i don't they said it was kind of just
exhaustion and you know whatever
and not you know the normal i think they wouldn't the people at the emergency
room wouldn't believe
me that i wasn't you know on hardcore drugs because because they come in and i'm
just i'm
fucking out of it and i um they're like what you know where you've been i've
been out on tour and
they're like oh shit we know what's up and they of course did all my blood work
and there was no
shit in there and nothing at all no i think i think it was honestly kind of
just
i mean it what they they did find some kind of like vibe like a bug you know
some kind of whatever
just bug that i had been on that probably was more of it than i thought but i
really do think it was just
um kind of non-stop every night rocking out and you know pushing it a little
too hard so you
really did wind up in the emergency room yeah yeah it was i mean the official
diagnosis was just
exhaustion what were you worried about like what did you think you didn't think
you could just go to
sleep like how does one go to the emergency room what happened what happened
what happened was i um
i was off the tour and i had a meeting with some managers and shit and in the
meeting i
fucking barfed like in a in a nice building we're in a nice building talking
about shit we're actually
talking about the shit that rick is over here doing it was like guys in suits
and i fucking threw up on
myself whoa and they go are you okay and i go i think i am and then they hand
me a banana to get some
food in me and i couldn't peel the banana so then i just i drove myself to the
emergency room you
couldn't peel the banana i didn't have the strength to open a banana really
yeah um
but i do now um and then i um i drove myself to the emergency room and they
hooked me up to ivs like
put me on fluids and everything just to give you an example i i so they when
they finally said i was
good to go i went back out and i couldn't find my car and i just i checked my
parking ticket i was like
where's this lot and i called the guy in the lot he's like yeah your car's in
here it's the windows are
down and it's running i apparently i just drove myself to the emergency room
and
and closed the doors and walked in the emergency room and said help me
wow um so yeah and i actually you know who was we talked about last time a guy
who was a big help to
me then i was just like i reached out to search i was just like you know do you
ever get like
just because at the time i just i didn't know i had a bug i thought it was just
you know pure
exhaustion which again doesn't that sound like the old rock you know the rock
star like heroin excuse
like he's exhausted he has to cancel a tour and i reached out to sturgill he's
just like yeah man
you gotta you know take care of yourself out there just you know it's mental
physical everything
fatiguing you know i think i need to figure out a way it's funny i don't forget
who you were talking
to a few weeks ago talking about um you're talking some serious about like
suicide and stuff and about
how exercise is such an important part of that and i've been on a pretty like
vigorous i've been
you can't tell but i've been running a ton which you've been running too yeah
and um i was talking
to a doctor recently and he was like um uh he's talking about a study they did
with um with like 200
depressed he told me it was like a couple maybe 200 depressed people and they
the study was half of
them they gave prozac the other half they put on a strict like running regimen
he said there was no
difference between the two it's like they both they were both helped a ton and
the the running i don't
want to give out you know medical information but that's you know yeah the
woman i had on kelly brogan
she's a psychiatrist she said that it's more effective that exercise is
actually more effective than psych meds i'm
i'm wondering if that just the fact that a doctor told me that makes me think
that he was airing you
know he still wants to sell the drugs but i'm just wondering if like um because
i started when i
run i feel great i mean i can't do it in cowboy boots and shit but you know it's
hard to do it
it's hard to wake when you aren't when you do the tours too it's just hard to
wake up before a show and
just yeah it's very hard but you got to do it you got to do it like it's
brushing your teeth like it's
you know it's just something that it's if you give yourself the possibility
that you won't do it
then you won't do it exactly and i think in my back of my head i'm like well
this is a tour this is a
little vacation a little break and that's just that's what i need it the most
so i got to start
when you think about it as a tour is that what you think about i think about it
as work i think about
it as work but i think about it as like that's my excuse for not oh okay oh
yeah it's definitely it's
definitely more work than anything yeah the human brain seeks comfort man we
like to
ourselves up by trying to take those little naps that you don't really need and
blow things off
that you really should do it's a weird thing we just got back from new york
city and i i fell asleep
on the couch for what you know i just woke up from i just slept for 12 hours
wow and i feel i mean i feel
great now but i bet it would help you with this touring i bet if you like
really got hardcore into shape and
started eating right i bet it would definitely help oh totally yeah well i'm
not gonna we got a tour
lined up for i think mid july and i'm not i'm not going if i don't do like if i
don't get up and
if i don't make sure there's someone there making me do all that i'm not going
to do the tour because
i've been looking at your tour online i've been looking at some of the photos
and videos from your
shows they're insane yeah it's been pretty crazy you know you're doing giant
places i don't know about
giant but you know uh hoping it gets bigger but um it's been it's been fun it's
a it's a
it's been a blast you know it one to me one thing i don't i hate to change the
subject but it's just
like um you know i got the new record out here pointing out and um still making
records
yeah this i think this one's better but jamie what do you think that's not what
i mean i mean like
actual physical copies yeah i know it's the only thing i could bring i can't
like bring it like a
link to spotify i should have just yeah um it's almost like these are kind of
silly now yeah because
i gave it to one guy he's like my you know you give it to somebody like their
desktop i mean their
laptop doesn't even have a cd player like like thanks for the cd i'll throw it
in the back of the car
and yeah we could listen to it in the car most cars still have a cd player for
now i'll bet they'll stop
pretty soon oh yeah for sure i used to have an acura nsx and had a cassette
player in it still
the cell phone holders that's where they're putting the thing to hold them now
instead of put it in
your air your air filter thing or the where the ac comes out to clip on that
there's like a little
thing that spreads out and just fits in the cd slot ah it's taking up space i
don't know about you but
my new thing is everywhere i go you know i rent i rent a car i'll get to the
airport and i'll rent a car
right and the first 20 minutes is me sitting in that car trying to figure out
the bluetooth
and it every you find that it's just like every one they make it so impossible
yeah i love cadillacs but
god damn that escalate infotainment system is a piece of it's so bad it's so
hard to work
apparently they switched it now and they're going to do apple carplay which is
infinitely better yeah
my uber driver had that the other day i i asked him finally had something to
talk about with my uber
driver he was telling explain it to me it looked like the whole interface was
just on the yeah it's
like a phone yeah it's not the whole interface because you know you can't get
most of your apps but
you get things like messages podcasts things along those lines yeah i mean the
good i mean what i was
kind of getting to before is you know we're talking about the crowds and which
was when i first put
out these crazy records of mine um you know the the assumption was um you know
there's nowhere there's
nowhere to go rate terrestrial radio won't play me right i ain't doing foul and
all that but
i don't want to kiss your ass too much you know you know that but it was kind
of finding this kind of like
this is all everything's equal now it's like it was that was kind of the big
breakthrough for me was
like
and i did a few weeks ago did joey coco diaz who's my new favorite dude he's
the best
ever and i'm now i'm now in the rogan world i did that in burt kreischer it's
like oh
this is it's like it's like doing the tonight show then like colbert it's and i'm
telling you these
things and i've got numbers to prove it it's there is no mainstream media it's
it's like if you go to the
back door and do all this it's it's bigger than that well mainstream media if
you know if you know
the actual numbers that they get it's it's not even close like a good show on cnn
you know might get
a million a million and a half views if we got a million and a half downloads
we'd be pretty bummed
out yeah it's crazy because the week i came in here i never even told you this
so that week i came in here
another someone told i someone has access to these numbers i don't have them
but they said
i sold more albums from being on here than the artist that week did on snl
so this is that makes sense like what does snl get what kind of views does snl
get
on a good episode we'll get 10 million downloads that's fucking crazy i mean
also too you know here
it's you know it's me talking to you on snl it's like do they make it to the
music probably not
they're just there to watch some funny well not only that they don't watch the
whole thing because snl
i love snl sometimes snl is one of those things though they fuck you like 70 of
the time
yeah i got really pissed about 8.7 million views oh with the rock yeah that's a
big one oh the finale
okay so that's their big one of the year so their big one is is smaller than
yours yeah a normal one
okay melissa mccarthy was 10 million that's even bigger oh the top two okay so
our top one for
the year was alex jones which is what 15 million and then number two would be
neil i think and then
alex jones got to put out a country record he should he probably should reptilians
and black
helicopters and he could do it too that's from texas that would sell yeah i
fucking would if alex
jones to just went into country music country new world order music i'll
fucking i'll reach out i'll
produce that shit you should go on a show you should go on a show and just
start talking crazy
shit about sturgill again yeah oh by the way and this is not for lawyer reasons
but um sturgill simpson is
not affiliated with the cia nor is he a trained cia assassin i want to get that
on the record
last time it's possible i may have mentioned that i think you did i think you
said he worked for james
comey and he was uh yeah he has no affiliation with the cia he's doing some
weird gigs in europe this
this year tha
