Joe Rogan Experience #684 - Brian Redban

Ah, freaks and freakettes, we're back.
We're back with lots of stories
because the internet is filled with pleasurable news items.
It's been a fun weekend, right?
It's been a fun weekend for you.
Brian loves a cause.
Brian is sometimes a bit aimless,
and when he finds a cause, boy, does he get excited.
And his cause was this gentleman who calls himself
the fat Jewish or fat Jew, depending on who you ask.
And, you know, what's really fucked up,
I was telling people to check out his Instagram
because, like, guys always get some funny stuff on there.
I didn't even think about where it came from
because, to me, as a comic, I guess it's like a self-centered thing.
Like, I think of, like, stealing jokes
is like stealing, like, someone does stand-up,
and they do jokes.
I never thought of, like, memes as jokes,
but they really are, and a lot of them are
from, like, an individual page.
Like, there's just a girl that he stole from
that's really funny, and I went to her page,
and it's all her own shit, and she's...
What is her name?
Which one are you talking about?
I've actually gone through the last 24 hours
and have checked over almost 100 different people
I've been researching.
Well, there's one of the ones that you retweeted.
One of the ones that I retweeted that you put up,
it was a girl, an attractive young lady
with dark brown hair.
Let's see.
I'll find it real quick.
But point being, these people, they, you know,
before Brian was a stand-up comic,
when I met Brian, Brian used to do, like,
really funny videos, and there was a time
where you...
What is her name?
God damn it.
Princess of Wi-Fi.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, hilarious.
Yeah, and it's super funny
because I never even realized it.
It's a smart one
where she posts a bunch of emojis,
and it says,
shout out to the snail for facing the other way,
and because the one emoji animal
that's not facing the same way is the snail.
Yeah.
And so he pretty much just copied
every single thing she did
and put it on his thing
and didn't credit her.
Yeah.
It's time-stamped,
and that's another thing nowadays.
Everything's time-stamped,
and so when I've been researching all these,
a lot of people have already researched this guy
because he's been doing this for a while.
It's just never caught fire so fast
as it did this weekend.
Well, we were talking about you,
before I met you,
you were kind of like a comedian on the internet.
Before the internet was, like, that popular.
Like, you'd make funny videos.
Right.
And that's how we became friends.
But, like, that thing,
people don't think of that as being a comedian.
Like, you think of a comedian who has to go on stage.
Not really,
because if you're this girl
or this guy right here, Davin Magwood.
That's actually not the original person I found out.
This has been reported as Davin Magwood
being the one that originally wrote this lion tweet,
which is going to start dressing like a lion
so the cops know that if they kill me,
white people will avenge me.
That was actually written by somebody completely different,
and that person's R-Gay on Twitter, Roxane Gay.
And I retweeted it.
So this guy stole it from her?
Stole it from her.
But he was complaining that he wasn't getting credit.
Yeah.
No.
Really?
I mean, this just happened.
We don't know, though.
We don't know.
Is that true?
Well, the timestamp on R-Gay is July 29th, 2015,
and Davin's is July 29th.
Oh, wait.
9.05 p.m. is his,
and 11.44 a.m. is hers.
Oh, so he saw it that day and stole it.
Yeah.
Allegedly.
Unless.
Unless she reads minds.
Well, unless.
Maybe she's, like, time traveling.
No, or, that's what I was going to say,
or she, like, lives in Japan and he lives in Hawaii or something.
Does the timestamp work locally, though?
Doesn't it work locally?
Doesn't it work in, yeah, it does.
Yeah.
Doesn't work like that.
Yeah.
I'm just kidding.
Yeah.
Well, that's fucked up,
that people are claiming they got stolen from,
and they, how do people not know that this is going to get out?
Well, the thing, I've heard of Fat Jew for a bit,
and he's been thrown on TMZ a lot.
He's been thrown on all these shows.
He's one of those guys that I've always got,
like, how is this guy here?
Like, whose mom and dad is, you know, this guy?
But then, then somebody, he got signed to CAA,
which is one of the biggest talent agencies here in Los Angeles,
and that immediately, all the comedians came out of the woodwork.
Like, wait a second.
I can't even pay my rent,
and this guy's just got signed a Comedy Central deal,
a book, a music deal with Apple.
He has his own show on Apple Beats 1,
which is their new radio station.
So they have a DJ who's just a plagiarist
on their brand-new, fresh station.
Yeah.
So, there's actually been so many reports,
like, from, like, you know, the New York News,
Washington Post, all these places have actually reported
about him being a plagiarist for a while.
Really?
But it's been one of those things where everyone kind of knew,
but it never, the Internet never caught on.
And so, this is amazing, because, like, there's one report,
which is, you have to check out this website.
I sent it to you.
It's on Storify.
It's Top 50 Jokes the Fat Jewish Bogarted from the Internet.
And this is written, I mean, it's just 50 jokes.
Now, again, there's...
This is 19 hours ago, so this is new.
This is new, too.
This is all coming out while this is all going down.
Yeah.
And now, the first one's obviously wrong that they have on there.
And this is one thing that I've been doing the last couple days.
I've actually been taking these...
If you just put this much energy in your own life,
you would be so much healthier.
Everything would be great.
You would be totally off-smoking.
You'd be going to the gym on a regular basis.
You're right.
Drinking water.
You're right.
But, you know, with the Carlos Mencia video,
I did that overnight when that happened.
And it's an obsession when it's something that's unique
and I feel like people need to know about.
And this, to me, is something that I can't believe
has been going on for so long.
And I went to the comedy store last night,
and everyone goes, oh, yeah, I know about that guy.
Yeah, he sucks.
And I'm like, wait, you haven't heard what's been going on lately?
Sandy Danto, who's a comedian at a comedy store comic,
paid regular, he actually had a bit of his,
his stand-up bit that he had taken and made it a meme,
and then he called him out on it in the comments,
and like a couple hours later, he deleted it.
And the same thing happened to Amir Kay,
who is another comedian.
So it's a lot of comics know about this.
Well, he does have a bunch of interns, all right,
or a bunch of employees.
Well, that's what he's been claiming for about the last,
I think, five years.
He's been claiming that he has employees
and all these people working on his website.
But, you know, that excuse might happen once or twice.
But, you know, not, look, this is, here is 50 of them.
And I've already found that.
Well, it could happen.
It really could happen more than that.
The thing about saying it once or twice is like,
I'm not trying to stick up for this guy,
but the reality of, like, sitcom writers,
like, Seinfeld stole, not Seinfeld the man,
but the show, stole one of Kevin James' bits
and did it on their episode.
And this is when Kevin James was not known.
Kevin was a friend of mine, still is,
but it was back then.
And Kevin hadn't made it yet.
He hadn't, it wasn't, he hadn't done King of Queens.
He'd won Star Search, you know,
and he'd been, like, on a couple different TV shows.
And he had a big deal with NBC,
like a development deal, do his own sitcom.
So I was there, I went with him.
He did this showcase for all these NBC writers.
So what these showcases are,
like, they do these sitcom things
where they would sit down
and they would bring, you know,
all the showrunners from various shows
that have deals with them.
And they say, hey, we got this guy,
his name's Kevin James, we just signed him,
he's really funny.
We want you guys to watch him do stand-up
and tell us what you think.
So they watched him do stand-up
and then they stole his bit
and used it as an episode of Seinfeld,
the bit about muffin tops.
Oh, yeah.
Like, Kevin James,
it was one of his signature bits.
And this was a long-ass time ago
and it was before the show.
And it's not the first time that happened.
That happened a gang of times.
It happened a bunch of times
with a bunch of different comics
and a bunch of different shows.
They would have their signature bits
turned into, like, plot lines on sitcoms
or gags on In Living Color was a big one.
Like, a lot of guys claimed
that some of the writers from In Living Color
would come down to the comedy store,
watch guys do stand-up.
Like, Handyman, someone said that Handyman
was something that they had stolen from,
not that Damon had stolen it,
but some writer had stolen it.
I don't know if that's true or not.
But there's a lot of those things
that happen when they think
they can get away with it,
especially if they can go down
to the comedy store on open mic night.
Yeah, that's what a lot of people,
there's so many random people
that come to these open mic places
that just sit there with their notepads
just writing everything down
or writing notes.
Yeah, you should be smacked.
If you want to sit in the back
of the comedy store,
I mean, look, they could always record it.
You know, people do that
on their phones anyway.
They're always going to record sets.
You just got to, in this day and age,
you got to assume.
I mean, when I was first starting out,
you have to have a fucking actual tape recorder.
You couldn't just sit in your pocket.
Like, you could have your phone
in your jacket pocket
and no one would know
and it could be recording.
As long as the mic is up,
it comes out crystal clear.
I've done it in my back pocket.
Like, I've done sets
and just recorded it
and stuffed it in my back pocket
to see what it would sound like.
I could hear everything.
Did anyone ever used to take
the old, like, Radio Shack box interview
private investigator tape recorder,
like, you know, the huge microphone
and just sit it on the stool?
Oh, yeah, yeah.
I definitely saw people do that.
I actually used to have one
that was a mini disc recorder.
Who the fuck taught me how to do that?
Somebody taught me about it.
He had it clipped to his belt.
I'll try to remember who the dude is
and give him credit,
but he had a mini disc recorder
clipped to his belt
and then he had a line
that ran up to, like,
a little lapel mic
and he would do all the sets like that
and then store them all on mini discs.
So I had a mini disc recorder
installed in the comedy store
so I could just record the sets
and listen to them on mini disc
and then we switched it over to dat
and then we switched it over to CD
when you could burn CDs.
And now, I don't even know
if that's still there.
Do they still have that CD set up
where you could burn your copy of?
I don't even know anymore.
Is it even necessary at all anymore?
Nah, nah.
Phones are just as good.
I mean, unless you want to get
something that's the quality
that you could release as an album
because you could definitely have it set up.
If you just have the microphone,
some parts of the audience mic'd,
like, a couple spots mic'd.
But, um, what was my point?
Point being, how the fuck did we get here?
Oh, about how, uh, Kevin James...
Oh.
So they steal...
So if he had employees,
if the fat Jew had...
I feel weird calling him that.
I actually enjoy it in this particular, uh,
you know, because I like...
It's the only time you're allowed
to say the fat Jew,
but I feel like, man,
someone's gonna take this shit out of context.
It's kind of a hack, though.
I'm just gonna call him the fat Jewish.
It seems like less, uh,
an overall statement.
Um, it seems like a superhero,
the fat Jewish.
But, uh, he could easily have employees,
but has it even been proven
that he has any employees?
And where's this guy getting the money
to hire employees?
The other
