Joe Rogan (0:00)

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Four, three, two, one.

Oh, in the sweet, sweet sound of amplified voices and my man, Shooter Jennings.

Shooter Jennings (0:11)

Ha ha, hey man.

Joe Rogan (0:13)

You look like you're supposed to wear sunglasses. Some dudes wear sunglasses, and you're like, bitch, get those sunglasses off.

But you, you look like you're supposed to be wearing sunglasses.

Shooter Jennings (0:22)

There was a point in time when I moved here, I remember, well, for a while there were prescriptions, so I had an excuse for a long time, but I went back to Contacts. But there was a point in time when I remember turning to my friend, I was like 21, and I was like, I think I'm just gonna keep them on all the time, and then it'll just be a thing, and that way I can just, if I have to close my eyes, nobody will notice, or if I'm stoned, nobody will notice.

Joe Rogan (0:47)

When people get super famous, like Jay-Z famous, they wear them inside everywhere, just so people don't catch a glimpse of their eyes and hand them a demo tape.

Shooter Jennings (0:56)

See, if you start out like a scrub wearing them, then it's weird if you take them off, you know?

Joe Rogan (1:01)

Well, it's a different thing in the black community, too.

Like a real cool black artist is just allowed. They're just allowed, they can just do it.

Shooter Jennings (1:09)

Right, right. I mean, I'd be disappointed if like, I saw Bob Dylan out somewhere and he wasn't wearing them. Like, Kristofferson wears them all the time. He has a good fade, too. It's like black, brown, white, kinda.

Joe Rogan (1:20)

Yeah, he fits right the fucking, Conor McGregor, he can wear them indoors. Some dudes can wear them indoors. If I wore them indoors, I'd be a douchebag.

Plus, the kind I wear. I wear, like, you know, fucking sport ones. I have a couple pairs of those that look cool, like, cool-ass aviator type ones.

Shooter Jennings (1:36)

These are Porsches. My dad used to wear Porsches, and at one point, I ran across their purple ones, and I was like, I bought, like, four pairs, and I keep breaking them, and this is my last one.

Joe Rogan (1:44)

Those are very dope. Those are Porsche design. They make some dope shit.

Shooter Jennings (1:48)

They do.

Joe Rogan (1:48)

I just used to think that they only made cars, and then I found they make phones. Did you know they make a phone?

Shooter Jennings (1:54)

Oh, yeah, I saw it.

Didn't they make a Blackberry for a minute? I think Porsche made a Blackberry, and I think they made another phone recently. I would love to get one of those, but.

Joe Rogan (2:05)

It's a weird little design chop they have.

Shooter Jennings (2:07)

It is.

Joe Rogan (2:08)

They have a Huawei phone. I'm saying it wrong, apparently. People corrected me. Huawei. Huawei. What's that? Huawei is a Chinese company that actually just got busted because their newest advertisement, it shows them taking selfies, but they aren't really taking selfies. They're using a super high-end DSLR camera to take the photo and they're passing it off as if these people are just holding up, taking selfies. It's on a fucking tripod, the whole deal.

Did you get a photo of that? Look at that, look, look, look. Guy's holding it up as if he's taking a selfie, but meanwhile, there's a fucking professional dude with a tripod, but he's making it look like he took that picture.

Shooter Jennings (2:49)

Who busted them?

Joe Rogan (2:50)

I think the woman in the photo busted them because I think she took pictures or had someone take pictures of the photo shoot. Yeah.

Shooter Jennings (2:59)

She got a look on her face like that too. Like, really?

Joe Rogan (3:01)

Yeah, she's like, bitch, come on.

Shooter Jennings (3:03)

Wow way.

Joe Rogan (3:04)

But meanwhile, here's what's stupid about that. They don't have to do that. Those goddamn things take amazing selfies. That's a great phone.

Like the newest, latest smartphones, they take incredible selfies.

Shooter Jennings (3:15)

I know, I know.

Joe Rogan (3:16)

But people never satisfy with the truth.

That's why people, gorgeous women, will put those fucking crazy cartoons, those selfie filters on. They're beautiful. And then they'll turn themselves into a cartoon. Like you don't get it. Like you're supposed to have pores.

We don't mind pores. I don't mind the wrinkles on your skin when you smile. I don't mind the bubbles of saliva on your teeth, okay? People are getting in this weird state of mind where they think there's a, you know, they said there's an epidemic of girls, like Insta models, that are actually getting surgery to try to look like they look in their selfies.
