#1067 - Whitney Cummings

Joe Rogan (0:01)

I think what you said is dead-on, that you gotta go straight, he's gotta go straight African American, because white people are just not, hey, and we're live.

This is what I think. We need to recognize the return of Dr. Cosby, and send a shout out to him, and all the folks at the barber shop.

Whitney Cummings (0:16)

I can't do this, no, I can't do this. I'm triggered, I'm triggered.

Joe Rogan (0:20)

You were saying before the show, like, what do you do if you're at a comedy club and Bill Cosby walks, because apparently Bill Cosby's doing stand-up again. And like, what do you do?

Whitney Cummings (0:31)

Why isn't he in jail?

I'm not even trying, like, I'm not trying to be funny. Why isn't this guy in jail?

Joe Rogan (0:36)

Well, because the first trial was, was it a mistrial? Yeah, it was a mistrial.

They couldn't agree, which is hilarious. Like, I mean, how many people have to say, that guy fucking drugged me and raped me? How many people, like, is there some sort of, can you imagine there's like 80 people that are telling the same story of you drugging them and raping them?

SPEAKER_3 (0:59)

And people are like, So, and look, and here's what I'll say, like, Get this sucker up to here.

Whitney Cummings (1:04)

You know, I'm sorry. I just, I don't want anything black and valiant in here right now. We're talking about Bill Cosby. This is too soon for this.

I guess I just, you know, and it's interesting that this happened after this weekend was the Women's March, and I know, like, a lot of people wanna roll their eyes, and I was getting a lot of shit on Instagram for, like, the Women's March, you guys have it. This is exactly the kind of thing that I'm terrified of, is that this guy is now not in jail, and he's just, like, back to doing stand-up.

Because I don't know if we got desensitized or if we just forgot about him, or we just got sick of talking about it. Like, I just don't understand how people in that club.

Joe Rogan (1:37)

Nobody saw it coming.

I think he's, first of all, he has an enormous ego, and he's a psychopath.

And I think that he is, he's just, he has enough fans, and enough people in his community still love him, where he can go places, in small places, and they accept him, and then he's advertising it.

Whitney Cummings (1:57)

And what is that? He's putting it on his Twitter page. Is that the people that accept him with this, is it people who have their own skeletons in the closet, and they see him coming back, it's like they get redemption in some way, or maybe it makes them not be incorrigible people, or is it like a herd mentality, or is it just starfucking? Like, how do you rationalize that in your head?

Joe Rogan (2:14)

Little bit of starfucking, little bit of dumb people.

Whitney Cummings (2:16)

The fact that he's famous eclipses the fact that he's a psychopathic.

Joe Rogan (2:19)

But then there's also, do you remember how it was right after OJ got innocent?

There was a guy, and I want to say his name because I respect him. He's a comic, and he went on stage. He said, no, he's a black guy. He goes, my blackness will not allow me to think that OJ did it. And I was... Interesting.

I was like, what, did I, what, the fuck did I just hear? Like, God, it's insane. Okay, all black people are innocent? What if a black person comes in and kills your family? Will your blackness exonerate that person? Like, how are you gonna handle it then?

Whitney Cummings (2:54)

And I don't know what the, I mean, what were, do you know who was in that job? Was it all black people? I don't know anything about it. I can't read it. Like, I'm just, I'm sick to my stomach.

Joe Rogan (3:03)

I don't know if it's a, I don't know if it's a black or white thing, but I think it's a culture.

Whitney Cummings (3:08)

When rapists are on stage performing, and there's not like a complete melee of disapproval, that's really scary to me.

Joe Rogan (3:15)

It is scary. It's scary. It's scary, but I think that there's a certain amount of people that get overwhelmed by celebrity. That he shows up like, I can't believe he's here. They don't want to say anything.

Whitney Cummings (3:24)

But like if Charles Manson goes up at a jazz club, it's like he's a celebrity, but he's also a monster.
