Joe Rogan (0:03)

Five, four, three, two, one. Live, and we're live.

Mr. Carmichael.

Jerrod Carmichael (0:11)

Hello, my friend.

Joe Rogan (0:12)

Mr. Neighbors.

Jamar Neighbors (0:13)

Hello, Joe.

Joe Rogan (0:14)

Jamar. I know.

Jamar, welcome.

Jamar Neighbors (0:17)

Thank you, man.

Joe Rogan (0:18)

Didn't know you were coming, but glad to see you.

Jamar Neighbors (0:19)

Me neither, man. He made me come.

Jerrod Carmichael (0:22)

He just came by. I was like, I'm going to Joe Rogan.

And he was like, I'm going to come.

Joe Rogan (0:30)

Perfect. Perfect.

What the fuck is going on, man? What are you up to?

Jerrod Carmichael (0:34)

I just got in from New York, like, two hours ago.

And now I'm here. I feel real, I don't know, I feel like a, you know, you ever see like a homeless man smoking a cigarette?

Joe Rogan (0:45)

Yeah.

Jerrod Carmichael (0:46)

And he just feels like real zen, and this is his, that's how I feel emotionally right now. Really? Yeah, really.

Joe Rogan (0:53)

Like a homeless dude smoking a cigarette. What a weird analogy.

Jerrod Carmichael (0:55)

I feel, it's great. It's really great.

Joe Rogan (0:59)

Trying to figure that out, that feeling.

Jerrod Carmichael (1:01)

It's like I have everything that I need right now.

Joe Rogan (1:04)

In your life.

Jerrod Carmichael (1:04)

I have everything that I need.

Joe Rogan (1:06)

Yeah. Well, you've been killing it for a long time, man. You know, you were killing it when I wasn't at the store. I had heard about you when I was gone. I had heard about you. I think Ari is the one who told me about you.

Jerrod Carmichael (1:16)

Oh, yeah.

Joe Rogan (1:17)

You know, and then I found out that Spike Lee directed your specials. I was like, what? Like, what the fuck is happening over at the comedy store?

You know, Spike Lee's directing comedy specials?

Jerrod Carmichael (1:28)

That was a fun one, because it was like just such an immediate, like I was like, it has to be in the OR, nobody filmed in the OR. And so like, you know, get in everybody to agree to that.

Joe Rogan (1:39)

Yeah.

Jerrod Carmichael (1:39)

And then like, because even Spike was like, but the main room's right here.

So big. And it's like, but I don't do the main room.

Joe Rogan (1:49)

Yeah. The main room's pretty good too.

I used to be prejudiced against the main room. I'd be like, ah, it's too big. It's too showy.

Jerrod Carmichael (1:56)

It depends on...

Joe Rogan (1:57)

OR's dirty and grimy.

Jerrod Carmichael (1:58)

It depends on like, you know, the sides are full or open and what the... The room can change depending on like so many factors of like seating and whatever, just the sound of it.

Joe Rogan (2:11)

Well, the room really changes when it gets empty late at night. Like that's a strange room. Where like Brody's doing those midnight spots.

Jerrod Carmichael (2:18)

Those have been some fun spots to watch just when Brody's just...

That was like, I used to, Tommy used to make me follow Brody like all the time. It's a, that's such a fun, interesting thing to do. So like, because what else is left at that point? You know what I mean?

Joe Rogan (2:36)

The audience is head space.

Jerrod Carmichael (2:38)

Yeah, it's in there in such a different place that it's just fun to piece it back together and figure it out.

Joe Rogan (2:45)

But Jamar, you get a lot of those freaky spots.

Jamar Neighbors (2:47)

Yeah, man, you ever had to follow Brian Holtzman?

Joe Rogan (2:51)

Many times.

Well, he's just so crazy. He'll say so much crazy shit that the audience is just like stunned.

Jamar Neighbors (3:02)

Yeah, it's like Brody times 20

Jerrod Carmichael (3:06)

Really?

Joe Rogan (3:06)

You never see Holtzman?

Jamar Neighbors (3:08)

Funny as fuck.

Jerrod Carmichael (3:09)

Yeah, I don't think I have yet.

Joe Rogan (3:10)

Oh my God. Dude, Holtzman said some of the darkest shit I've ever seen anybody say on stage. He went on stage, do you remember Susan Smith, that lady that drowned her kids?

She was a lady that, she drowned her kids. I forget what the context of it was. Holtzman went on stage like two days later, he was like, I heard those were bad kids.

I heard they sat that close to the TV, they never put away their blocks, they fucking spilt their milk. Those kids would not be missed.

Jerrod Carmichael (3:42)

When you say that, maybe I have heard Brian Holtzman.

Joe Rogan (3:45)
