Joe Rogan Experience #789 - Dan Auerbach

And we're live and you have come bringing the future this is it's what we've
all hoped for we had all heard about this when
We were kids dude, they're gonna sell weed like cigarettes in a carton
And they're gonna be pre-rolled and you're gonna be buying it just like you buy
a Marlboro
And you've come bringing this this is real sir. Yeah, it's it's a real thing
now. Where'd you get those?
I got them in Seattle when we just played there this company brought us a whole
Gift bag and how does it work with transport with things like that?
Well, I guess if I told you would screw up our transport. Yeah, definitely
I'm not a traveler with I'm a choir when you get there kind of a guy sure I
think it's usually the best move
It's just it is the best move, but do they even bother checking people in the
Seattle Airport anymore?
You know, we're on a bus. It's totally different. Yeah, of course
So except if you go to Texas, I would never I would never take it on a plane
No, not a good move not a good move, but when they arrested Willie Nelson in
Texas and like wow
That's how much they don't make exceptions. Yeah, that was weird fucking Willie
Nelson. That was stupid. It's ridiculous. I mean
It hurts my feelings. It's like really this is what you're doing. You're trying
to solve crime
Arresting
What is he 80 now? Well, he's got to be close to 80
I mean, he's got to be in the top 10 of like people who have done more for the
state of Texas than anyone, right? Yeah, I mean
Come on
Not only that he's undeniably awesome. I mean enough. I was a great guy. Yeah,
like why would you want to arrest that guy?
That's no can you imagine Willie? He was probably like really? Yeah serious. It's
sad
It's sad the cops must have felt kind of embarrassed. I bet yeah
And we were talking today because today this is this is a historic day for
music because of Prince. I mean this is a
It's very strange when a guy that's that powerful
especially when I was a kid and during my teen years mean that was when
He was you know really emerging and that's when people were really finding out
about him
I remember thinking like wow this guy is so interesting. He's such a
combination of different things like it was he was there was no one
That was like him before I mean David Bowie was sort of androgynous before but
he took it into a different new place and it was
Mysterious and had some great with David Bowie for me it always felt more like
theater hmm with Prince
It felt more like that's Prince. Yeah, that's really him, you know
Yeah, purple rain and then did the movie because he just started that way. Yeah,
Bowie kind of transformed into that androgyny
Prince was like that to begin with right yeah, I
Remember the first time Pat and I played the first Avenue in Minneapolis. That's
where they shot
I think some parts from purple rain maybe the live is that right the live
segments from from that movie and
That was the big thing, you know, yeah just to be there right well
He kind of owned Minneapolis right he put Minneapolis on the map and he stayed
there
Yeah, and you thought of mini I like you thought of Prince you thought of
Minneapolis
That was like part of the thing is that he was just this wizard that lived in
this frozen land and you know produced all this crazy music
Because they never would have arrested Prince for weed no in Minneapolis. No,
no he gets a hall pass
No, yeah, he was the man in Minneapolis. I mean everybody he was he's a god
there
I wonder what it was that got him, you know, it's it's 57 years old. I mean, he's
a thin guy. He looked like he's healthy
He looked very healthy. He looked like he could have been mistaken for Pharrell.
I mean he was yeah
Those two guys are like ageless, you know, and he did a show just a couple
nights ago. Yeah, yeah, he was on tour
I don't know. It's just so wild. Well, it's so hard when something like that
happens
You can only speculate you don't no one really knows until you hear it's just
Just reinforces this idea that we're so fragile
This it all can go away. Absolutely. Yeah, like like I said, it's like it doesn't
matter how much money you have
You can have the best doctors in the world and it's just
You have to be thankful for what you have. Yeah, you got to be a good human
because it can just all go away so quickly
And eventually it's all gonna go away for all of us
Yeah, very soon 100% life is very short. Yeah, it's a hundred percent not gonna
last
100% it's not gonna last nobody gets out alive, right?
No one and still it's a people run through life
accumulating shit yeah, and and missing missing opportunities to just
Take it all in and enjoy it and when a guy like Prince one of the undeniable
things that he left was
I mean you always have his catalog of work to make people happy like he left an
undeniable impact on people
You know to this day, I will pull out
I want to be your lover because I was like the first big hit and like that's
still to this day a fucking badass song
Absolutely, you know what what really kills me though is when you get an artist
who?
People just weren't ready for and they're only
They're only showing love after they die. Yeah, you know what I mean? Yeah
That kind of kills me. That's gonna be the case here
You know for sure he's gonna get what he was always showing love but he'll be
shown a lot more love people appreciate him now that they know it's ended
What you gonna do? I mean that's what happened to Michael Jackson, you know
Michael Jackson before he died
People weren't nearly as interested in him as he was like once he died like
once he died then his catalog went through the roof and everybody wanted to
Buy the old stuff up and all the print stuff is like charting now, you know
Man, I was thinking about Bill Hicks the other day and how he died
Yeah at his mom's in Arkansas
He what you know, you know, it was going down for a while he had pancreatic
cancer and it was
It's a particularly brutal kind of cancer apparently especially in the 90s when
Bill died of it
Mm-hmm and he he knew and just went to his mom's place to die but just thinking
about that like you just sort of
never made it made it he know what I mean? Yeah, and then he dies and then all
of a sudden everybody says oh
He was the best he was one of the best comics all time, you know
He was certainly one of the most influential no doubt about it
He he changed so many people's perception of like what comedy could be he like
opened up a whole new way
He's like well comedy could do that too and everybody was like ooh
Nobody did that before yeah
He had a like a consciousness to his comedy or like an elevation sort of thing
to his comedy
We're trying to change your thought process along with make you laugh. Yeah,
very different thing
It's hard. It's hard to get to that place
That's the place you always want to get to some people are just born there
You know what I mean like mm-hmm like we're talking about Prince
He was Prince when he started he had the third eye when he started you know
what I mean?
I think it takes some people some time on stage to
Figure themselves out takes a few years of like making mistakes
Listening to too many people. Yeah, yeah
You could definitely get off on bad paths and you got to recorrect come back
you have to I mean
There's a you know, there's learning process to everything. That's what's so
difficult with cell phones nowadays
It's like you can't learn in private, you know
You used to be able to go on stage and like practice kind of in front of people
which is the best practice, you know
But now everything's filmed. Yeah, even your shit that you're trying to work
out. Mm-hmm. You can't like just
Be so free do you know what I mean the big with big deal with stand-up?
That's a big deal with stand-up because the bits if you hear them and then you
hear the finished product it will if you hear though
like the starting you like you should ideally heal it hear it for the first
time in
In a full form and completed form but a lot of people along the way
Well people enjoy that process though like coming to the comedy store and
watching people stumble through an idea that they're not exactly sure
And then they'll see that bit maybe six months later on a television special or
something. Oh, I figured it out
But um, yeah, it's but he could also choose as a fan to not seek that stuff out
I think people do yeah, you know it it stops me from wanting to play songs
I don't really know wow absolutely because you worry that like a video of it
getting out there of being kind of in the halfway
Hacking my way through a new song. Yeah, I wouldn't do it fuck
Absolutely
Well, I think it's really stifled stifled some modern performing. Have you seen
some of those things that Chappelle's done and
Hannibal Baras has done they take these bags and you put your cell phone in it
when you go in and it's sealed and when you're in the room
You literally can't open the bag and then if you leave the room somehow the
some sensor and it allows you to open the bag
It seems like a ridiculous idea, but the more I think about it. It seems like
It's the kind of thing that people may fight, but then thank you for afterwards
yes
Yeah, yeah, yeah for the experience themselves. They're like holy shit
I haven't really paid attention anything for an hour and a half two hours for
years, right? You know what I mean?
Well, if you go to a concert now all you see is phones up and people watching
the concert through phones
Yeah, I mean you see this you see people doing this all the time like you'll
you'll see a sea of cell phones at these arenas and it's weird
They used to reach out try to touch me now. They have to reach out their cell
To try to take a picture. Did you notice a shift that's slowly like you almost
like people were infected by phones like the tics man?
I mean when we started I was a flip phone generation, baby. Yeah
I know those are too problematic. It's too hard to take a picture with yeah
Some people were into it, but most people left them in their pockets
Yeah, no cuz the pictures sucked. I mean, it's not something you want to brag
about now
Everybody's like the best photographer ever. Yeah with the iPhone. Yeah, they're
so good now
And they're getting better all the time and they're also putting those little
lenses on them
They make it even better. They slide a little lens over the top of it
You see a lot of that but people aren't experiencing it in a pure way
You know, you're not going to it and just sitting there and taking in the show
instead
You're going into it and you're aware that you're recording it
You want to make sure you get it in frame and you make sure you got a good part
That's gonna look good on your Facebook or wherever the fuck you're gonna put
it you missing
You'll you'll you're not giving into the experience of the music or the show or
whatever you're going to say 100%
Yeah
Life is not as good with cell phones. I think but I have it in my hand all day
long
I
Don't I wouldn't say that life is not as good
It's more challenging because it doesn't prevent you from putting it away
But it makes it very addictive. It's very hard to put it away
But you could I think it's the kind of I think it's the kind of thing where
like
Your life would be better if you didn't have it you would be able to experience
life more
You'd pay more attention to your kids and you'd have more real true love
You know, you wouldn't be taking fucking selfies to post you'd actually be
hugging them genuinely. Do you know what I mean?
I think can't do both I
Don't think so. I've not met that person
Yeah, I don't know man. I love the data though. I love all the
Information I love that why come I'm addicted to it. Yeah
Well, it's interesting. I mean, there's always something new. There's always
some new story that's out there's some new
Revelation scientific invention experiment that was done that some there's some
new shit always constantly
It's like the amount of data that we're getting now is but is it mak
