Joe Rogan (0:16)

Feeling it in here?

Brian Redban (0:17)

I'm great.

All right. I love this new studio. It's so amazing. It's crazy how much stuff you're going to have in here.

Joe Rogan (0:24)

It's going to be badass.

Brian Redban (0:25)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (0:25)

We're working on it. We're making it happen. Before we do this, I have to apologize. I have to apologize for something I said last week, last Tuesday, in passing. We were watching a Corey Feldman clip, and Corey Feldman was doing this crazy dance, and Greg Fitzsimmons was in, and Corey Feldman had some little tight jacket on. It's this weird song he was singing. And I said that jacket, was he wearing that jacket when he was young and he got diddled?

I was trying to make Greg laugh, right? You're trying to say fucked up things to make comedians laugh, which is what we do when we get together. We say the most heinous shit. But I felt terrible after somebody pointed it out. Like, I didn't even remember saying it. Someone pointed it out, and then Saturday, I watched it.

And I felt so terrible because the clip, especially like out of context, like it's just me laughing about him getting diddled.

Brian Redban (1:21)

Right.

Joe Rogan (1:21)

And it just, it's horrible.

Brian Redban (1:24)

Anything that's taken out of context like that's going to make you feel weird if you don't see that.

Joe Rogan (1:28)

Yes, but there's no excuse like what it is, it was.

You swing at a lot of pitches when you're doing live podcasts, and sometimes you hit yourself in the dick with a bat. And that's what I did. It was it was totally wrong. It wasn't it wasn't funny. I took a swing. It was it was the wrong thing to do. It was what the best way to describe it is it was thoughtless.

Because I really didn't think I was just trying to say something fucked up to make Greg laugh. I wasn't thinking like this is a real person. And I watched him the other day in a movie, man. I saw him in Gremlins. I was watching Gremlins with my kids after actually did we did the podcast before I watched the clip, though, because I didn't I hadn't seen, you know, I do it and then I'm done with it.

But I didn't think about it. I said, you know, first of all, he was doing the Michael Jackson thing. You know, he wears a Michael Jackson jacket and he danced like Michael Jackson. He didn't he said Michael Jackson didn't even do anything to him. So it didn't even make sense. It was just a stupid line to say, but I felt terrible. I couldn't sleep Saturday night. I felt really bad. I felt really bad. I felt bad for a bunch of reasons. One, I felt bad because it's a mean thing to say.

And I didn't I didn't mean it to be, even though it was, it's just I was just trying to be funny. You know, Patrice O'Neill said something once when he was defending Opie and Anthony. He was saying when someone says something really funny or the same person says something really fucked up, it all comes from the same place, like they're trying to do the same thing. They just miss, you know, but that was without a doubt the worst miss, the most embarrassing to me, the most depressing, the most what's the best way to describe it.

Just so disappointed that I did that because he's a he was a kid, you know, I don't even think he actually got molested. I think he was actually saying that Corey Haim got molested and he didn't.

Brian Redban (3:27)

Well, that would make sense why Corey Haim did so much drugs, you know, if he did get molested.

Joe Rogan (3:31)

But well, I started looking into this shit more and more recently, like Hollywood molestation with children. It's it's no joke, man, like just as it's no joke with sexual harassment and assault with women, what you see with this Harvey Weinstein thing, and these other directors now are getting in trouble for the same thing. The same kind of shit happened to a lot of kids that were involved in these child movies. You don't think about that when you're just trying to crack a joke. And I just want everybody to know if if you were disappointed, there's no if you were disappointed in me, there's no way you were more disappointed in me than I'm disappointed in me. I didn't sleep Saturday. I had a hard time sleeping last night. I felt bad about it all day. I felt terrible. And I went to Underwood Farms. You know what Underwood Farms is?
