#1046 - Owen Smith

Joe Rogan (0:04)

Boom, and we're live. Owen, you going to Australia? Are you moving there?

Owen Smith (0:10)

I never been, B. I never been.

Joe Rogan (0:12)

You never been. You would love it.

Owen Smith (0:14)

That's what they say, man. I get a lot of Australians come to the store, and when I perform at the cellar, a lot of Australians.

Joe Rogan (0:20)

They fly over here to see comedy.

Owen Smith (0:23)

It's crazy.

Joe Rogan (0:23)

Yeah.

Owen Smith (0:24)

It's crazy.

Joe Rogan (0:24)

They take comedy vacations. It's super common.

Owen Smith (0:27)

You ever see a hot dog spot, and it says world-famous hot dog? I feel like when I talk to an Australian, I can say I'm world-famous, but I've never been over there.

Joe Rogan (0:37)

Well, I think a lot of them come over here just to like, oh, fuck it, mate. Let's go to Australia and fucking fly over to Los Angeles and see what it's like over there. They've got more people in their state than we have in our entire country.

There's more people in the greater LA area.

Owen Smith (0:52)

Than in all of Australia?

Joe Rogan (0:53)

Than the entirety.

Owen Smith (0:55)

What's that feel like?

Joe Rogan (0:56)

You know, and they're as big as the United States.

Owen Smith (0:58)

Yeah, it's huge.

Joe Rogan (0:59)

Yeah, it's huge.

So it's the size of the contiguous United States, I think the lower 48 I don't think it's Alaska included, but it has less people than Los Angeles.

Owen Smith (1:09)

I learned that lower 48 term when I was in Alaska. I didn't even know that.

Joe Rogan (1:13)

Yeah, they barely are American.

Owen Smith (1:15)

Yeah, it was crazy.

Joe Rogan (1:16)

You look at it, you're like, what? How is this up here?

This is America too?

SPEAKER_4 (1:23)

How y'all get in?

Joe Rogan (1:26)

I used to have a joke about Sarah Pail, and I'm like, that's a frozen Puerto Rico.

SPEAKER_3 (1:30)

That's what that is.

Joe Rogan (1:32)

It's so not America. That's barely America.

Owen Smith (1:35)

That's hilarious.

Joe Rogan (1:36)

Those people are cool as fuck, though.

SPEAKER_3 (1:37)

Yeah, man.

Owen Smith (1:38)

I loved it. Everything was rustic. That was the new word for like, it was a booger on my spoon, man. It was rustic.

Joe Rogan (1:45)

I was in Fairbanks.

Owen Smith (1:47)

I became a nerd too. I saw like the Aurora Borealis. I saw moose up close and whales like, breaching, you know, and Resurrection Bay, I think, is where I went. It was fantastic.

I loved it. I went in April, so it wasn't too cold, but it was still cold as shit, you know?

Joe Rogan (2:04)

Yeah, it's weird up there because the people are just, they're so accustomed to like the trials and tribulations of nature. They feel like they're heartier folk.

Owen Smith (2:12)

Oh yeah, definitely.

Definitely. They're not consumed with like the stuff that we are bothered with. Everybody has a plane. Like every other person had a plane in their backyard.

Joe Rogan (2:21)

Like a bush plane.

Owen Smith (2:22)

It's kind of cool.

Joe Rogan (2:24)

Dude, this place is going crazy. We lost Garrison Keillor and Matt Lauer today. Both of them went down.

Owen Smith (2:31)

That's what they get.

SPEAKER_4 (2:32)

Crazy. Garrison Keillor.

Owen Smith (2:35)

Look, man, them low-talking dudes, those slow-talking.

SPEAKER_3 (2:39)

Welcome to Lake Mobergun.

Owen Smith (2:41)

He's looking sour. Yeah, the whispery dudes.

Joe Rogan (2:45)

Public broadcast radio could use your donations. We love bringing you quality content, but it comes at a price.

Yeah, the first guy to go down was that John Gomeshi guy.

Owen Smith (2:55)

Who was that?

SPEAKER_5 (2:56)

Is that the NPR president?

Joe Rogan (2:56)

He was the guy from Canada, the CBC guy that was choking bitches.

SPEAKER_3 (3:00)

Oh, no. Who was the Montreal?

Joe Rogan (3:05)

That's the dude.

SPEAKER_5 (3:07)

That's the Montreal dude?

Joe Rogan (3:08)

He was like Mr. Calm and Quiet and Progressive, and I'm a feminist.

Owen Smith (3:13)

I trust it.

Joe Rogan (3:14)

I call myself a feminist. Ladies, listen.

Owen Smith (3:17)

You cannot trust.

Joe Rogan (3:18)

I'm not the best human being in the world, but I swear to God, what you see is what you get.

All right? You got to be careful with these fucking male feminists. That is just, that is a sneaky ploy to get pussy. What was that one, who was it? Was it Eric Weinstein that was telling us about a particular type of cuttlefish that pretends to be a female so that he can get in close with the males?
