#1025 - Greg Fitzsimmons

Joe Rogan (0:06)

Is it working?

Is it live? It says it's live. Gregory, we're live.

Greg Fitzsimmons (0:12)

This is it.

Joe Rogan (0:13)

This is it. There's definitely more of an echo in this room. We're gonna have to do some tweaking, ladies and gentlemen. This is episode number one in the new spot. Uh-oh, Jamie's fucking up already. Jesus.

There's extra mics on?

Jamie (0:29)

I had all the mics on.

Joe Rogan (0:30)

Oh, the back mics?

Jamie (0:31)

Those are off now.

Joe Rogan (0:32)

Oh.

Greg Fitzsimmons (0:32)

That sounds better.

Joe Rogan (0:33)

Yeah, it changed everything.

Jesus, you're a wizard. How'd you notice? You could feel it. You could sense it in the room.

Greg Fitzsimmons (0:41)

He should be behind a curtain like the Wizard of Oz.

Joe Rogan (0:43)

Yeah, what color was the Wizard of Oz's curtain? It was green, right?

SPEAKER_4 (0:47)

I don't know.

Joe Rogan (0:48)

Yeah, green.

SPEAKER_4 (0:49)

Wasn't it?

Greg Fitzsimmons (0:49)

Amarold City, right?

Joe Rogan (0:50)

Yes.

Greg Fitzsimmons (0:50)

Yeah, right?

Joe Rogan (0:51)

Right, Amarold City. Gregory, welcome.

Greg Fitzsimmons (0:55)

I feel so happy to be here on the first episode.

Joe Rogan (0:57)

Dude, I'm honored. I'm honored that you're number one.

Greg Fitzsimmons (0:59)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (1:00)

Seems perfect.

Greg Fitzsimmons (1:01)

Yeah, this is perfect.

Joe Rogan (1:02)

Fuck, it's crazy, right?

Greg Fitzsimmons (1:04)

He just gave me a tour of this place, and it's like, I saw the first half, and was like, what the fuck's he gonna do with all this space? The back half is bigger than the first half.

Joe Rogan (1:14)

Well, it's gonna be a gym. Yeah. An actual full gym. I don't like going places.

Do it all right here.

Greg Fitzsimmons (1:22)

Got your tank, your sauna.

Joe Rogan (1:25)

There's a 47-yard indoor archery range in here.

Greg Fitzsimmons (1:28)

Yeah, yeah, that's gonna be badass.

Joe Rogan (1:31)

Yeah, why not, fuck it.

But the big thing is to set up the studio and to have it as close to the old one as possible. I mean, basically we built it sort of, the only difference is the sky, thanks to octo lights, now we have clouds in the sky instead of stars. Decided to mix it up a little bit, change the curtain collar.

Greg Fitzsimmons (1:53)

I love that it feels the same as the other one though.

Joe Rogan (1:55)

Pretty fucking similar.

Greg Fitzsimmons (1:56)

I mean, the dimensions are, are they exact? The dimensions?

Joe Rogan (1:58)

Very close, very close. And this is, this is a stand alone, I mean, this was built.

So it was built to the same size. I mean, this was, this did not exist. So this is all like constructed.

Basically, we just, I had all these ideas like, well, I'll do it this way and I'll do it this way and I'll make a table that's different. And then, and then as time went on and I started doing the planning and everything, I said, you know what? I don't, I don't think I want to change much at all. Like this table first of all is giant. Like I love this table and it's got all this weird history to it.

Greg Fitzsimmons (2:30)

It's got a little bend to it.

Joe Rogan (2:32)

Yeah, well, when we got it, the wood hadn't been kiln dried, yeah.

So when wood sits out or it goes anywhere, it gets damp. And then when it dries out, it starts to warp a little bit and change and shift. So it's got a little warp to it, but I like it. This desk got history.

Greg Fitzsimmons (2:52)

It's got history and the red brick wall looks exactly the same.

Joe Rogan (2:57)

Yeah, pretty close. Pretty close.

We're rolling.

Greg Fitzsimmons (3:01)

Jamie's over there in his spot.

Joe Rogan (3:04)

It's pretty close. I mean, it's like, it doesn't, I have to remind myself that we're in a new spot. That's perfect.

Greg Fitzsimmons (3:09)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (3:10)

I mean, after we do a few episodes here, we'll be like, oh, this is the spot.

Jamie (3:15)

After a fight companion.

Joe Rogan (3:16)

Yeah, yeah. Especially once the boozing starts again.

Once the boozing and the weed starts again in November.

Greg Fitzsimmons (3:22)

How hard has that been for you?

SPEAKER_5 (3:24)

Easy. Really? Super easy.

Joe Rogan (3:25)

Super easy. The other day, we went to Mexican food and I wanted a margarita and I went, ah, damn, I can't have a margarita. That's it. That's literally my only craving.

People talk to you about, because the initial thing wasn't quitting weed, right? The initial thing was just getting Bert Kreischer to not die. So our idea was like, so let's see if we can get him to go sober for a month. And he was like, I can run a marathon. I'm like, stop.
