What do you think about the Joe Rogan deal?
There I am right there in that garage in Merceda.
Man, I rolled in.
Her and her husband do it.
That's so goddamn funny.
It was pretty good over there.
I gave her a nice tip, I felt like.
Her husband has two kids.
He's divorced, but he has two kids that move to the town I'm from, actually, in
Louisiana.
And they're living over there.
How old are they?
Like adults?
They're not of age, no.
I mean, the daughter sounded hot, but she's young.
But that's what the lady said.
I didn't say that.
I didn't even ask.
Rogan, I think it's fucking awesome.
I think it's.
What do you think it's going to do?
What do you think it's going to do?
Well, we talked about this on the phone.
I don't think it's going to do much.
I think it's good.
I think it's unequivocally good.
Because when Howard Stern went from radio to satellite, it was almost like he
left popular culture.
Whereas Joe, podcast is already not, it's already like off the beaten path.
So I think he's not going to be reduced culturally at all.
Right.
Like there's not, he's not going to miss.
I don't, I don't know how much that means to him anyway, but I don't, he's not
going to be any less relevant culturally.
And, uh, it sounds like a lot of money.
And with very little downside.
It's like his listeners have to listen to ads.
I think there's a, there'll be a subscription if you don't want to listen to
ads.
Yeah.
Same as YouTube.
Right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Kind of.
Um, it seems like he, I mean, he's like the guy to do it.
Cause he got, like you said, he got everything he wanted.
He's licensed it.
So he's not giving up IP.
Uh, he can still put out YouTube clips, which is like his biggest growth.
More people watch his clips than his full episodes on YouTube anyways.
Um, yeah, I don't see, I don't see the downside.
People are like, Oh, Spotify might be able to control him.
A, I think that's why they don't want to control him.
I mean, he's the reason he's popular is cause he talks about 10 things.
Like, you know what I mean?
I don't think they're going to be like, could you just focus on UFOs?
Yeah.
Like I, it's just, they're not going to.
And also once, if he feels like if he even sniffs, like they're trying to
control him,
he'll just go fuck this.
Fuck this.
I think that's why he said fuck this to YouTube.
Cause they are doing some of that slightly censorship thing.
I don't think.
Oh, are they really?
Yeah.
I mean, just like if you talk about Corona, uh, they'll demonetize you.
Uh, yeah.
And I think that kind of stuff could just be getting stronger, you know, as we
go along.
It definitely seems like on Twitter, it's like extremely, it's a very liberal
app.
It seems like, you know, like, um, so I think that, you know, I think that I
could see some
of the other, you know, the giants, some of the other social media giants and
YouTube's
almost, it's really kind of like social media in a way.
I mean, it's, but I'm curious to see what Spotify's new interface is going to
look like.
Cause if they're going to start video and they're going to have his full
episodes and
then, are they going to buy other stuff to supplement it?
Because you can't just go there.
I promise you, they're going to ask you Schultz, uh, Santino.
I'm sure they've already asked Burr.
Obama.
Does Obama have a deal at Spotify?
That's a rumor that I heard.
Yeah.
There you go.
Spotify.
Yeah.
That was back in June already.
Yeah.
Um, so yeah, like I'm sure they've already asked Burr.
I'm sure they've already asked like the, I mean, they, Bill Simmons, they gave
him a hundred
million.
Like they gave him a hundred million.
I think it was a hundred.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think 150, but the difference there, they bought the ringer actually.
Right.
Joe Rogan just licensed it.
Right.
Um, but, uh, they also pay Amy Schumer.
Uh, she has a doing video show Joe Budden.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Joe Budden.
So like they'll, they'll, you know, I think they'd rather have more than less.
There's no downside.
I mean, I, but like a lot of my podcast is streams on Spotify.
Like I don't, Joe wouldn't give it to them.
I think.
Right.
And yeah, I don't think, I mean, and they're going to license, I guess at a
certain point
he'll be able to get it all back.
Yeah.
Will they, will they take everything he has on YouTube and put it on to Spotify?
The full episode.
Yes.
And it's going to be like a slow transition.
Okay.
So it's been, yeah.
So he's got a huge library.
He's got 6,000 hours, I would guess.
Wow.
He's done maybe not 6,000, but definitely 3,000.
Yeah.
So I don't, I think it's good for both of them.
Honestly, their stock went up 10%.
Yeah.
Like the, on the announcement, like they're, it's good.
That's all they wanted.
I wonder what their platform is going to be like.
Are people, I mean, it is time for YouTube to have a competitor for sure.
Yeah.
And I don't know if that's the, that's YouTube is going to be hard to compete
with because
they have a 15 year lead and they're owned by Google and like, they just have a
lot of
shit going for them.
Yeah.
But yeah, that's the, that's the, I'm, I'm happy for Joe and it seems like,
seems like there's no downside.
Uh, I'm in, I, that if that's a smart investment on their part, I said, I think
I said to you
on the phone, the fact that comedy central or a network never got a bunch of
podcasts,
video podcasts, and just put them on comedy central at 10 30, the way he used
to put Howard
Stern on is bad.
It's still baffling to me.
It's still, because you look at the amount of hits that we get, you'd be like,
those are
better numbers than comedy central numbers.
Yeah.
So why would you guys, and I think it's cause they didn't feel like they did it.
Yeah.
Like love line at night.
And I remember even having love line on that was like having a podcast,
basically just sitting
there.
And that was, that was kind of a pop.
That was a popular show.
Yes.
But love line was the, like a produced version of the radio show.
I don't even think they needed to do all that.
Yeah.
They could have, what people didn't realize is this is enough.
Yeah.
This is enough.
They used to, I mean, Howard Stern used to show it and then they acted like,
well, that
didn't happen.
And then I guess I missed it on, he used to be on MSNBC.
It's going to be, I mean, it's definitely, it's definitely going to be
interesting.
I, yeah, I think for, for Joe, it's really a no lose.
He does licenses, you know, you know, he can have it back.
I'm guessing whenever he leaves.
Um, the thing about Joe is he doesn't seem rich, right?
Even though he's, he's been rich and now he's, now he's like getting to like
wealthy.
Yeah.
Uh, he doesn't see, he just doesn't, hasn't really changed.
He hasn't, he looks, he looks like he'd look if he worked construction.
Yeah.
Almost to the outfit.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like I saw nothing's different, which is part of his appeal.
He just doesn't, that's his sensibility.
He's like t-shirts and jeans and yeah.
And a pocket full of fresh Hawk meat.
Good evening.
Good afternoon.
And other times.
Thanks for watching that video you just saw.
I mean, it was okay, but the next video you could watch could be way better.
What if you watch a video right now that changes your life?
Well, you could watch this one or watch this one.
Watch this one.
Watch this one.
Watch this one.
Ah.
