Hello, Hannibal.

Hannibal Buress (0:11)

What's up, man?

Joe Rogan (0:11)

How are you, sir?

Hannibal Buress (0:12)

I'm good. Good to see you. Good to see you, too.

Joe Rogan (0:14)

You have notes.

Hannibal Buress (0:15)

Yeah, I wanted to... What's going on, man? I had notes, I just wanted to be prepared.

I've had notes other times, but I just didn't have them written down.

Joe Rogan (0:25)

Oh, you had them, like, in your head?

Hannibal Buress (0:26)

I had them in my head, but I'm an older man now.

Joe Rogan (0:30)

Is your mind starting to slip away?

Hannibal Buress (0:32)

My mind's starting to slip away, so I had some notes.

Joe Rogan (0:34)

You're drinking Alphabrain and you've got notes? Dude, you're ready.

What's the notes? What do you want to talk about? What's going on?

Hannibal Buress (0:42)

Oh, we don't have to get right into it. We can just flow naturally. It was just more for, like, you know, sometimes if stuff lag or something, or if I feel like I don't have something right away, and then I'll, like, peek at it real quick.

Joe Rogan (0:58)

Right.

Hannibal Buress (0:59)

But right now, we're fresh.

Joe Rogan (1:01)

Oh, we're fresh. Good to see you. Good to see you too, man.

Hannibal Buress (1:03)

Yeah. Sorry about Monday.

Joe Rogan (1:05)

Oh, no worries, man. No, shit happens.

Hannibal Buress (1:07)

I just did not.

I was still in New York. I had booked my flight in the morning, and I just could not go.

Joe Rogan (1:15)

You just couldn't do it? You were too tired?

Hannibal Buress (1:18)

It wasn't just a tired. It was just more of a...

Joe Rogan (1:21)

Just didn't feel like going?

Hannibal Buress (1:24)

It was the five-hour thing, and I did it today, actually. I flew in today.

But it was just that...

Joe Rogan (1:30)

Sometimes you just don't want to do it.

Hannibal Buress (1:31)

It was just that flight. I was like, I don't know if I can...

Joe Rogan (1:34)

That's the beautiful thing about being a young, successful single man. You could do whatever the fuck you want to do.

Hannibal Buress (1:40)

It was... Yeah.

Joe Rogan (1:42)

Yeah.

Hannibal Buress (1:43)

But I'm excited to be back. Got weird last time.

Joe Rogan (1:48)

Yeah. Well, the last time was the Sam Harris one, right?

Hannibal Buress (1:51)

Yeah, that's been a year.

Joe Rogan (1:52)

Oh, yeah. That's right. Yeah, that did get a little weird.

Alcohol is a motherfucker. It's amazing. It's legal.

Hannibal Buress (2:00)

It is.

It's amazing. It's legal. Well, also, it was just... Yeah, I should have... I should have went to the comedy store, which I still did do.

Joe Rogan (2:10)

Yeah.

Hannibal Buress (2:11)

Did a terrible set.

Joe Rogan (2:12)

Did you?

SPEAKER_3 (2:13)

A terrible set. Well, we got drunk.

Joe Rogan (2:16)

We did a podcast and got drunk, and then you hung around for the second podcast.

Hannibal Buress (2:21)

Yeah. Well, you said, sit in.

Sit in.

Joe Rogan (2:25)

Yeah. It was Sam Harrison. Who else was it?

Hannibal Buress (2:27)

It was the guy whose podcast it is.

Joe Rogan (2:31)

Oh, Josh Zepps.

Hannibal Buress (2:32)

Josh Zepps.

Joe Rogan (2:33)

He fucking loved it.

Hannibal Buress (2:35)

Of course. He got crazy buzz.

Joe Rogan (2:36)

Yeah. He loved the controversy. But you could see, it was kind of gross. Even though I loved Josh, you could see it while it was going on that he loved it. Yes, yes, yes.

Hannibal Buress (2:44)

Yes. He was, yeah.

Joe Rogan (2:45)

He enjoyed it.

Hannibal Buress (2:46)

Well, you were teasing it out, too. Because I started getting messages, what is this crazy Hannibal, Sam Harris? And so I'm like, what the fuck is going on? Because I knew once I left, I was like, yeah, that's going to be some weird shit. And then I was fine with it.

But then I kept on getting messages like, what is this? When is that coming out?

Joe Rogan (3:03)

Well, everybody saw it live, didn't they? No, they didn't.

Hannibal Buress (3:05)

It was not a live thing.

Joe Rogan (3:06)

That's right. Because it was Josh Zep's podcast.

Oh, that's right. Yeah. Fun times.

Hannibal Buress (3:13)

Yeah. It was a fun time.

Joe Rogan (3:15)

Well, last time Zep's was here, he was talking about killing babies.

Hannibal Buress (3:18)

Really?

Joe Rogan (3:19)

Remember that?

Yeah. He was talking about maybe you should be able to abort a baby six months after it's born. I was like, what the fuck are you talking about, man?
