#1098 - Eddie Bravo

Joe Rogan (0:05)

No headphones?

Eddie Bravo (0:07)

I'd rather not have headphones. No, because I learned that, I learned that hearing my own voice in my head makes me focus on it, and I don't want to focus on the sound of my voice.

Joe Rogan (0:17)

I want to focus on the thought.

Eddie Bravo (0:19)

I'm focusing on, ooh, it's like blowing out in my head and all this shit's going on.

Joe Rogan (0:23)

That's smart. Tell me one.

What's up? Oh, we're talking about whether or not you should have headphones on or not have headphones on. Are we up? No?

If you're hearing the audio recording this, what's happening is we switched to a new TriCaster. We were having problems with our old one. The TriCaster is the machine that allows Jamie to switch cameras and put everything up on the internet and hopefully include Skype so we could get some people from like-

Jamie (0:53)

It's getting signal, but there's no video showing.

Joe Rogan (0:56)

Are we gonna restart?

Jamie (0:58)

I don't know.

I'm trying to make sure that that's actually true. Sorry.

Joe Rogan (1:01)

It's okay. We might have to restart, folks. We're trying live while we're going live with some new shit. But I want people on YouTube. Is it?

Audio, but no video.

Jamie (1:13)

I don't know why.

Joe Rogan (1:15)

Ladies and gentlemen, if you are just staring at a blank screen, would you have to shut this show down to get the video back up?

Jamie (1:21)

It should work, but-

Joe Rogan (1:22)

All right, just do a double camera, a two shot.

Jamie (1:25)

I think it's gonna be okay now.

Joe Rogan (1:27)

Is it live now? Tech motherfucking-

Eddie Bravo (1:31)

It would suck. It would suck if we did like a half an hour. It turns out none of it got picked up or we did a whole show.

Joe Rogan (1:38)

We're recording.

And it's going on YouTube right now for sure. They don't see us right now. He's trying to fix that.

Tech motherfuckingology. We were having problems with our old Tricaster crashing a lot, so we got a new Tricaster. But it turns out that, what is it that doesn't match up? What part is wrong? The control panel?

Jamie (2:00)

There it goes, there it goes, yeah, I see the video now. So it should be okay.

Joe Rogan (2:03)

Hey everybody. Oh shit. Oh shit.

What were we just talking about?

We're talking about material. Headphones. Headphones, oh, listen to yourself in the headphones. What I think of is though, it makes me like, I close out the outside world totally, and I just lock in on the conversation.

Eddie Bravo (2:19)

Yeah, it's so psychological. But if you were watching, if he puts up a video, it would be nice to hear it, then you put your headphones on.

Joe Rogan (2:25)

Right, then you have to put the headphones on. I just feel like when that's on, it's just like I pay more attention to not talking over people, too.

Eddie Bravo (2:33)

I can't stand the sound of my voice, so hearing it in my-

Thank you, thank you. But I can't stand the sound of it. And I hear it enough, I don't need it blasting in my ears as I talk, then I focus on it, and then-

Joe Rogan (2:44)

I think that's a good quality.

Eddie Bravo (2:46)

I get depressed.

Joe Rogan (2:46)

It's a good quality to hate your own voice. Because if you love your own voice, you would listen to it all the time, like ugh.

Eddie Bravo (2:53)

You know how hard it is to listen to my standup?

SPEAKER_4 (2:55)

That's very hard.

Joe Rogan (2:56)

For everybody.

Eddie Bravo (2:56)

It's death, it kills me, but I always hear your voice. You gotta listen to your shit. You gotta go back and edit. You gotta edit your shit. And I'm like, I don't wanna listen to myself. I just, I wanna put every time I go up on stage behind me. I don't wanna go back. But I know that's not the right thing to do.

Joe Rogan (3:13)

You get a, you take a lot of time out of the development of a joke process, if you just listen to the previous versions of it. Because I have this new bit that I'm doing right now. And I have like three different versions of it. And it's not, right now, it's very shaky. It's very shaky. It goes one way, it goes the other way. Sometimes it gets big laughs. Sometimes it's just clunky.

And I've gotta figure out which one's the right formula. So the only way to do that really is to listen to how I did it right. And then play it back and then write it out. I'll listen to how I said it and then I'll write it out. And then I'll think about like what I would be thinking if I was sitting there listening to this, if someone was saying this.
