Joe Rogan (0:00)

Four, three, two, one, boom.

Steven Tyler (0:05)

Ow!

Joe Rogan (0:05)

We've done a thousand what? How many podcasts? 1,116. Steven Tyler was the only man to bring a crystal ball.

You're the first.

Steven Tyler (0:16)

Cause you got to bring it with you when you come.

Joe Rogan (0:19)

Do you bring that everywhere?

Steven Tyler (0:22)

Yeah. Yeah, I'll bring it with me to Maui, I'll bring it with me to Europe.

Joe Rogan (0:27)

Yeah.

Steven Tyler (0:27)

What is the deal?

Joe Rogan (0:29)

What is it?

Steven Tyler (0:30)

It's just, I'm into crystals.

Joe Rogan (0:32)

It's pretty.

Steven Tyler (0:33)

It's got beautiful occlusion, and when you get the light just right on it, just like me on stage at night when the light is just right. You know what I'm saying?

Joe Rogan (0:41)

Dude, you look fucking fantastic for 70 Can I just tell you? I thought you were 70 I was like, holy shit, you look really good. And your skin looks amazing.

Steven Tyler (0:49)

Why, thank you.

Joe Rogan (0:50)

It really does.

Steven Tyler (0:50)

Thanks. And I walk around like this and wonder why everybody's fucking taking pictures and busting my chops, walking through the airport. I actually have a T-shirt that says, go fuck your selfie.

Cause you're walking with the dogs, you're walking with the girl, and they come over and want to stop and take a selfie or something. Thank you, thank you for that. It's good living.

Well, I don't know. I spent 30 years of it on drugs and drunk, so.

Joe Rogan (1:15)

Maybe the crystal helped you.

Steven Tyler (1:16)

I think so.

Joe Rogan (1:17)

Might have done something.

Steven Tyler (1:18)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (1:19)

How long have you been carrying that thing around?

Steven Tyler (1:21)

I don't. It lives at my house. I have one I do keep in my pocket, which is not here today.

Oh.

Joe Rogan (1:29)

What is that? You bring switchblades?

Yeah. Jesus Christ.

Steven Tyler (1:34)

Joe Perry and I got a thing.

Joe Rogan (1:35)

Bone-breaking switchblades?

Steven Tyler (1:37)

We just collect knives, man. We just, you know. I'm such a country boy. And when I did Idol every night, when I walked out on stage and it went, bitty, bitty, bitty, bitty, bitty. And I'm walking next to JLo and Randy, my knife was right in my pocket.

Said one thing. No, open my fan mail.

Joe Rogan (1:54)

Oh, okay. Switchblade to open fan mail.

Steven Tyler (1:58)

It's fun.

It's a cool thing. It's fun. I don't often carry it, but I thought because I think you're so fucking cool that I would bring a couple of cool things from my house. You know, I'm just like that.

Joe Rogan (2:08)

Oh, thank you.

Steven Tyler (2:08)

I'm one of those guys that want to leave the house. I say goodbye house.

Remember, I got a son and three daughters.

Joe Rogan (2:14)

Right.

Steven Tyler (2:15)

So, and I know after watching, what was your last?

Triggered. That you got a bunch of kids too. And it starts wearing off on you. And I think it's a beautiful thing.

Joe Rogan (2:26)

I think it's a beautiful thing too.

Steven Tyler (2:27)

You have three girls, your wife and two girls.

Joe Rogan (2:30)

I have three girls, three daughters.

Steven Tyler (2:32)

It will happen to you. I do too.

Joe Rogan (2:34)

Oh yeah.

You're a legit eccentric. Like there's some people that pretend to be eccentric. You're like a legit one.

Steven Tyler (2:40)

I am, and I love it. In fact, I love me.

Joe Rogan (2:44)

It's good to love you.

Steven Tyler (2:44)

More than that, I love us.

Joe Rogan (2:46)

I love us too.

Steven Tyler (2:47)

I love us. I say that all the time.

Joe Rogan (2:48)

I'm super happy about this.

Steven Tyler (2:50)

I'm so fucking excited. Seriously, I gotta ask you, what the fuck do you eat for breakfast?

How did you get so fucking smart?

Joe Rogan (2:58)

Oh, I'm not that smart. I just remember things.

Steven Tyler (3:01)

Okay, cause I-

Joe Rogan (3:01)

There's a difference. There's a difference between being smart and just remembering a lot of shit.

Steven Tyler (3:06)

You remember things.

Joe Rogan (3:06)

Yeah, I'm not that smart.

Steven Tyler (3:08)

Well, remembering things is huge.

Joe Rogan (3:10)

It helps. It certainly helps. Yeah, but what is smart, right?

Smart is like, can you solve equations? Can you figure things out that other people can't figure out? Do you know things other people don't know?
