#1288 - Jon Reep

Joe Rogan (0:03)

Do you drink? Do you want a zero alcohol Anakin?

Jon Reep (0:07)

Sure, if you haven't one.

Joe Rogan (0:08)

Yeah, there you go, fella. Zero alcohol. Let's get crazy.

Jon Reep (0:11)

Well, let's pace ourselves. I'm gonna chug this.

Joe Rogan (0:15)

Whoa, don't do that. Dude, are we dangerous?

Jon Reep (0:17)

Zero alcohol? How many calories, though?

Joe Rogan (0:20)

What, you scared of calories, bro? I'll tell you, stay alive.

Jon Reep (0:23)

That's true. I mean, I got plenty of calories already.

Joe Rogan (0:26)

I have to ask you, did you drive in in a Hemi?

Jon Reep (0:29)

No, I didn't. I got dropped off in a Chevy.

Joe Rogan (0:32)

Oh my God, this is outrageous.

Jon Reep (0:35)

I had one for a little while.

Joe Rogan (0:36)

Just a little while? I figure like you would have to have one for quite a long time.

Jon Reep (0:40)

It was fun. Well, okay, I'm gonna backtrack a little bit. So first commercial, right? That thing gotta hit me. I did six of these things.

And around commercial three, I was talking to my agent. I said, man, you know, if they ask to do another one, oh, shit, here we go.

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (1:01)

Is that a hammy?

Jon Reep (1:02)

That's the worst I've ever looked at in my life.

I really felt like I was sitting in a desert, like no one's ever gonna see these commercials. No one's gonna know what a hammy is.

Joe Rogan (1:09)

Incorrect.

Jon Reep (1:09)

And I could not have been more wrong.

Yeah. Yeah. There it is. Look at that badass.

Joe Rogan (1:16)

Did they give you one or did you just go out and buy one?

Jon Reep (1:18)

Well, I said, listen, if they want me to do another commercial, see if you can get a vehicle out of them.

And my agent was like, you know, make it their problem. He calls them up, he goes, hey, I don't know if you know this, but your Hemi guy, your spokesman is driving around Los Angeles right now on a Suzuki Sidekick.

Joe Rogan (1:35)

Oh.

Jon Reep (1:35)

And they're like, what?

Joe Rogan (1:36)

Wait a minute, Suzuki Sidekick?

Jon Reep (1:37)

That's what I had.

Joe Rogan (1:38)

Isn't that the fucking T-Mobile device?

Jon Reep (1:40)

It's a box kite.

Joe Rogan (1:42)

Is that the same thing?

Jon Reep (1:43)

It's the lightest.

It's a box kite. If you could put a string to it and float it in the air.

Joe Rogan (1:48)

Was that that shitty looking Jeep thing?

Jon Reep (1:50)

Yes.

Joe Rogan (1:50)

Oh, wow. You had one of those?

Jon Reep (1:51)

I did. Yeah. Red.

I don't know why. For some reason, I like that thing. I got it in college, and then...

Joe Rogan (1:57)

That's probably why you like it.

Jon Reep (1:58)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (1:59)

Nostalgia.

Jon Reep (1:59)

It was cool for tailgating and shit.

Joe Rogan (2:01)

There it is.

Jon Reep (2:02)

Yeah. Look at that.

That's the LL Cool J version. I didn't have that one.

Joe Rogan (2:07)

Well, it's the LL Cool J version.

Jon Reep (2:08)

I don't know. I think I saw that in a video one time. Because that's the one I had right there.

Joe Rogan (2:12)

You had that?

Jon Reep (2:12)

Hard top.

Yeah. I totaled that thing in North Dakota one time. Hit black ice.

I mean, a gust of wind just knocked me off the road, and I was in a ditch. But it was, you know how people on motorcycles, they'll see another motorcycle, and they'll wave? And it's like a little club that you're in, and jeeps do it too. And I started doing that to other Suzuki Sidekicks, and for whatever reason, I'd wave to them. Nine times out of ten, it's like an overweight black lady. And I just wave it out, and they're like, what is he doing? And I was like, we're in the club, man. So, but yeah.

Joe Rogan (2:46)

People love to do that with nice cars.

Jon Reep (2:48)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (2:48)

But to do that with shitty cars too.

Jon Reep (2:49)

Yeah. That's the thing.

Joe Rogan (2:51)

That's next level.

Jon Reep (2:51)

That's more fun. Yeah. Yeah.

Like, I see you.

Joe Rogan (2:54)

So, what did they give you when they gave you a Heming?

Jon Reep (2:56)

It was a 1500 Dodge Ram quad cab, black, a lot of chrome.

Joe Rogan (3:02)

I feel comfortable in that thing.

Jon Reep (3:03)

I loved it. I loved it when I first got it.
