Joe Rogan Experience #711 - Brian Redban

Do-do-do-do-do-do-do! We are live!
Hello, Brian Redband.
Hey, Joe!
What's going on, fella?
Not much. Crazy week.
Very crazy week.
Yeah.
Murder at the Comedy Store.
Ugh, that's insane.
I was supposed to go down there that night, too.
Me too. A lot of us.
I decided the day of, I had too much shit to do that day and in the morning,
and I said, you know what, I don't need to do a set tonight.
I was going to do the Stand Up on the Spot show, which was on before the Roast
Battle show.
And I guess there was a show going on in the main room.
It was one of those air quotes, urban air quote.
Yeah.
They scratch records, and they have more melanin, and some shit went down.
And not that it matters that it was a black show.
Obviously, it could have been a white show.
It was, I don't believe it was anybody in the show.
I think it was just people in the audience.
There was a guy on a patio, and obviously, I have like 15th hand information.
But the story is that this guy just walked right up to this guy and just shot
him a bunch of times.
Yeah.
It's weird how, essentially, Chyna did one of those reenactments of it.
Oh, those commercials?
CGI's, rather.
CGI's.
And it's really ridiculous how they show it.
And so I've been showing it around, because a lot of us are always there
Tuesday nights.
And Rose, the bartender, was standing right there.
She, you know, she helped afterwards by putting, you know, towels and stuff on
the guy.
A lot of people at Francisco Ramos, which was standing right next to him.
Matt Edgar.
A lot of our friends were hanging out on the patio, because roast battle was
going on.
And it's so, you know, crowded for roast battle that a lot of us just sit in
the front patio and watch it.
Let's watch the Chinese reenactment.
First of all, note how everyone's white.
Except that guy.
Yeah.
So was it from there?
Wow, it does look like the Comedy Store.
Is that where it happened from?
You know, they're saying that, what Rose is saying, that this is not the side
that it came on.
It was more right in the middle, you know, the entrance.
And was he that far away?
They're also saying he ran across the street, which is another thing.
A lot of people say that he got into a car and the car went down the street.
Other people are saying he didn't get in a car.
And it's interesting because there's so many people there, but yet they haven't
released anything about the shooter, except that he had a hoodie on.
Not like color of hoodie, height, nothing, which was odd, you know.
But it happened so fast, they say.
I don't know how those things usually work.
I don't know if they give up all the information, like about the suspect.
The problem is, if you tell people what it was, like, there's a really weird
thing that happens when people see stuff.
People see things, and then their recollection of what they actually saw,
oftentimes, is way off.
Like, they've done these experiments with people, where they've put them in
stressful situations, like a fake bank robbery.
And then they ask them to describe what happened.
And people, they get it so wrong.
And they think in their head that it's right.
I mean, I'm sure I've got some memories in my head like that, that are all
fucked up.
And I'm sure you have some in your head.
I just think, I think our memory, we would like to think it's like some stuff
written down on paper or a video that you can watch and review, but it's not.
It's fucking very, very strange.
Especially when it comes to something like a murder, where someone steps out
and, boom, just shoots somebody.
So if you say, we're looking for a 5'10 black male with a red hoodie, people
are going to find that guy.
They're going to see it.
They're going to think it.
But if you say, we're looking for a 5'11 thin white male with a British accent,
then they'll say, I saw that guy.
I know it was him.
There's going to be a certain amount of people that will tell you.
Even though they saw a black guy in their head, they'll see that 5'11 English
guy and they'll go, yes, he was.
I did think he was English.
Like in their head, especially with like trauma and the fear of the instance,
they're notoriously unreliable.
That's why like when scientists talk about anecdotal evidence and evidence of
people's experiences, when you're trying to talk about like paranormal shit,
especially.
So people say, dude, you can't tell me what I saw.
I know what I saw.
Do you really?
Do you really know what you saw?
Because I don't know what I saw a lot of times.
Like if you looked at my memory just from like yesterday, it's a blur of some
snapshots, you know, and I had a great day.
I wasn't drunk, hanging out with the family, picked out some pumpkins, saw a
fucking pig race, went to this farm place where they, you know, let you pick
out your own pumpkin.
It was fun.
A bunch of kids.
It was cute.
We had a good time.
Went in a corn maze.
You know, but my memory, my important thing is like totally sober, having a
great time, lots of laughs.
But my memory is like, oh, yeah, then we did that.
And then we did.
Oh, yeah, we did that, too.
I had some that.
Yeah, I had a sandwich.
And these like, this idea that, you know, we have this infallible memory.
I think when you start putting out information, like this is what the guy
definitely looked like.
Based on who?
Based on whose head?
Whose head that looks like that?
The people that saw the shooting?
Hmm.
Okay.
If you don't have a photo, you better be real careful what you say.
Because these people that saw the shooting, man, boy.
I mean, some of them might be good at it.
But we all know somebody fucking sucks at remembering stories.
You know, we all have that one person that is terrible at it.
Especially in a time of panic.
I know when I got robbed, I remember he had a fake beard, but that's about it.
Like, I had some kind of coat, but I don't remember, like, I was staring at him.
I should be able to know, like, oh, yeah, he had a purple shirt on, he had, you
know.
Isn't it funny that fake beards are not allowed, but if you are a man and you
wear a toupee, you can go through TSA with it.
Oh, yeah.
That's weird.
They'll leave that stupid fake hair glued to your head.
Like, that's so strange.
But if you try to go through TSA with a fake mustache, you'd be like, what the
fuck are you trying to pull?
Like, you can go in there with a mop of hair.
I wonder how long your fake hair can be before they go, listen, you fuck, take
that thing off.
What?
Could you go in there with, like, a giant lion's mane?
Like, if you went in there with some crazy, if you were just stone-cold bald,
and you went in there with a glued-on Fabio wig, like a full Fabio that goes
all the way down to your ass, or even crazier.
Like, there was a dude that I was, I was at the House of Blues in Houston a
couple weeks ago, and it was great.
It was awesome.
Me and Ian Edwards.
And there was a dude who's been growing his hair for 14 years that works there.
I got a picture of homeboy.
Oh.
Does he have a long ponytail?
Is that, like, super long?
No, he went the dreadlock route.
Ah.
Ah.
Yeah, it just takes one guy to have, like, try to put a bomb in his hair piece
till we have, like, a line where everyone has to get their, like, toupees, like,
you know, shoveled off or scraped off.
Well, there's not enough people that have big hair like that where you would
have to, like, look into it.
But, yeah, if people, if there was a lot of people running around with hair
like that, they would start searching your hair.
Definitely.
100%.
But those radio wave things that they go through, here's homeboy.
You see his hair?
Holy shit.
Yeah.
It goes all the way down to his ass.
Like snakes.
Past his ass.
Excuse me.
Almost down to his knees.
That shit's got its smell.
It probably smells great.
It's got pockets of nest in there.
There's all kinds of living art forms in there.
Yeah.
Ebola.
It's beautiful.
But the, um, what was I going to say?
Oh, but you could, if that was fake, like, there's no way you could wear hair
that long that's fake.
Because now you're wearing, like, some crazy costume or something.
Like, it has to be within the cultural norm.
It has to be, like, culturally acceptable length hair.
You know?
Like, do you remember when that guy Phil Spector was on trial for murder?
Yeah.
That really crazy fuck?
Phil Spector, who, uh, Jamie probably knows who he is more than both of us.
Because he was, he had that thing, the wall of sound, that he had kind of
created.
He kind of created a new way of, um, of producing music.
Is that correct?
Is that the best way to describe it?
Yeah, you're pretty young.
That's good.
Yeah.
But apparently he loved putting guns in people's faces.
He was just a fucking nut.
And he showed up for trial.
Like, look at the one, look at that wig.
Like, he showed up for trial wearing the different wigs, right?
Didn't he wear a couple different kinds?
He wore, just that one?
No, what about that one?
So he's got two different wigs at least.
What ended up happening to him?
Oh, yeah.
He's in jail.
He might be dead.
He might be dead now.
Look how-
Yeah, look how, uh, horrific he looks.
Yeah.
He just looks so creepy.
Is that him there, smiling too?
Wow, he looks like a totally different person when he smiles.
Ew.
That's so odd.
Oof.
He's a creepy dude.
Yeah.
Well, so he, um, he put a gun in some girl's mouth.
You know, he was into that kind of shit.
Like, bitch, I'll fucking kill you.
And he actually did kill her.
Wow.
And she was like a, just a young lady.
I think that's her up there, Lana Clarkson.
That's her, right?
She was really pretty.
Oh, shit.
She had done some acting and stuff and she met him.
What's amazing to me was not just that he shot her and this crazy fuck,
but that an ugly dude like that can bang a chick that looks that hot.
Like, how did he get her?
Maybe he, maybe she wouldn't have sex with him.
Maybe that's why he shot her in the mouth.
Well, he's also a millionaire.
I think at that point, you know.
Yeah.
No, that definitely has got to help.
I mean, it's, but isn't it amazing that it helps that much?
I mean, look how scary he is.
Is that Al Pacino?
Did Al Pacino play him in a movie?
Yeah, they did a HBO movie, I think.
Really?
Yeah.
What was it called?
A couple years ago.
No shit.
I didn't know about that.
I didn't know that either.
There's too many movies.
Oh, it's just called Phil Spector.
Do you know I had a revelation the other day when it came to movies?
I went to see The Martian.
It was pretty good.
Interesting.
But the problem is, the problem with that movie is, you know he's going to live.
You know he's going to make it.
So it's like someone gave you a spoiler alert before you even got to the movie.
It's like, oh, is he going to die on Mars?
Am I paying money to watch two hours of him and he's going to die on Mars?
Get the fuck out of here.
Everybody knows he's not going to die on Mars.
But the revelation was, there's too many movies.
And like even really awesome movies like Sicario is supposed to be pretty
badass.
Which one's that?
That's the new Benicio del Toro movie.
It's supposed to be pretty badass, but we couldn't get a ticket to that one.
In time, it was sold out.
So we went with The Martian.
But the point is, these movies never stop.
Every week there's new ones.
And they don't go away.
Like the old ones don't stop being around.
Like you can go watch them too.
It's like there's too many of them.
Like I was thinking about all the different movies just on iTunes and Netflix.
And I was scrolling through them and I started thinking like this is a never-ending
equation.
Like it just keeps getting tacked onto it.
We live in the epicenter of where it's created.
It's all around here.
And it's very strange because the body of work just never stops.
Like it used to be when I was a kid, when a good movie came out, you would go
to see that fucking movie like Star Wars.
I saw Star Wars 13 times and I was nothing compared to the real geeks.
Like it was a big deal back then to see how many times you could
