#1123 - Kevin Smith

Joe Rogan (0:08)

Biatch!

We're live. Dude, we always say, we're gonna do these regularly. Every like two or three years, we pledge that we will do these regularly.

Kevin Smith (0:19)

And then a decade goes by, and then we don't see each other. But I hope that in your heart, just like mine, that it's not like, oh, I've had enough of that fuck. No, no, no, it's life. I know how, I see how busy you are. You're one of the few people I follow on Instagram.

And I've said it on the previous show.

I just love to look at your life, because I'm like, fuck, he's doing everything he wants, and nothing I'd ever want to do, but fuck, he goes to the hill. And not in a judgy way of like, he shouldn't be doing that, but just like, you know, I've said it, you live a man's life. I live a boy's life as a 47-year-old man.

So you do things like, you got a float tank, you hunt, you know how to handle a bow and arrow. I'm the guy that writes about people that shoot bow and arrows to stop crimes. They usually have boxing gloves at the end of them and shit like that.

Joe Rogan (1:05)

Yeah, but that's good too.

Kevin Smith (1:07)

Oh, believe me, I ain't shit on it. But I do, I guess the point is, I know you're busy as fuck, and I know sometimes I get very busy as fuck, but I think we only don't do this because of how busy we are.

Joe Rogan (1:20)

Yeah, that's all it is.

Kevin Smith (1:20)

My, that's very kind of you. So you're like, that's, yes, yeah, I'll buy that.

Joe Rogan (1:24)

No, no, that's all it is for me for sure.

Kevin Smith (1:26)

For me, I'm like, fuck, I could do that once a week because I'd walk away, I always walk away with a real like, I've never done cocaine, but I imagine it's what it's like to do a line of cocaine off, I don't know, somebody beautiful or something like that. I always walk away with wisdom. And it's wisdom that even though it's on a podcast and recorded and there's a record of like, well, that's where you learned those things, I still go out into the world, present them as my own.

Like I'm a smart, well-read person.

Joe Rogan (1:51)

Out there, there's dudes that have done a line of cocaine off someone and they're like, what the fuck is he talking about? I've never learned anything from that.

Kevin Smith (1:57)

Except how to do it better, where the cocaine doesn't quite fall into the ass crack.

Joe Rogan (2:01)

Or where all my money go. I've got to think that through.

Kevin Smith (2:04)

That was never my poison, man. I still have never in this lifetime knowingly done cocaine. Somebody might have slipped it to me.

Joe Rogan (2:11)

You and I both.

Kevin Smith (2:12)

Really?

Joe Rogan (2:12)

Yeah, I never touched it. Come on, man.

Kevin Smith (2:14)

That's fucking, you know what I'm saying?

Joe Rogan (2:16)

In Hollywood, we're rare.

Kevin Smith (2:18)

Yeah, and also just like as entertainers, we're rare as well. Does it ever make you feel less than? When you read about those of us who try to be funny in this business, and those who have been insanely successful and become icons, they always have, and then they did blow for hours and blah, blah, blah. Do you ever feel like, oh, that's not part of my matrix, hence I must not be one of the greats?

Joe Rogan (2:42)

No, I'm very lucky that I don't.

Kevin Smith (2:44)

That you don't feel that?

Joe Rogan (2:44)

That I don't feel that. Because I think I'd have a real problem with speed and amphetamines and coke. I think I'd have a real problem.

Kevin Smith (2:50)

That's what draws your eye from a distance?

Joe Rogan (2:51)

I think I would enjoy it.

Kevin Smith (2:52)

Really?

Joe Rogan (2:54)

And I think it's the worst thing for someone like me, who's a probably overconfident person to begin with, which has served me well. But that stuff makes you crazy overconfident.

Kevin Smith (3:06)

I only giggle not because it's not facetious. If you walked into the facility that I just walked into and had the grand tour that you were given, a gentle listener and watcher at home, I was saying to Joe before we went, he's got this new, new to me, I don't know how long you've been here since October, you said.

But it's a paradise. It's a, fuck the term man cave. This is like man empire. You walk in and it's like walking into Joe's head, it's everything he loves under one fucking roof. And I said it to him before, like you did this with your mouth. Like you talked yourself into this.
