, two, one. Jessimae.

Jessimae Peluso (0:03)

Rogan.

Joe Rogan (0:04)

Good to see you.

Jessimae Peluso (0:05)

Joseph. Do people call you Joseph?

Joe Rogan (0:07)

My mom does.

Jessimae Peluso (0:08)

Oh, that's sweet. What's your middle name?

Joe Rogan (0:10)

James.

Jessimae Peluso (0:11)

Joseph James. Sounds like an author.

Joe Rogan (0:13)

Maybe I should write books.

Jessimae Peluso (0:14)

I can't believe you haven't written a book.

Joe Rogan (0:16)

I tried. Started doing one a long time ago. I had a deal for a book, like 12 years ago, and the dealing with the editors was so gross.

They basically wanted me to just transcribe Stand Up, and I wanted to write a bunch of weird shit.

Jessimae Peluso (0:31)

Didn't Judy Carter already do that? You remember the Judy...

Joe Rogan (0:36)

Is that the worst genre ever? Books on how to do Stand Up? They might be the most piss poor books ever. Belzer had a pretty good one. Belzer had a decent one.

I think it was... He had a couple of them. He had one on Stand Up, and he had one on UFOs, Bigfoot, and JFK. Belzer is a great...

Jessimae Peluso (0:53)

Those all go together.

Joe Rogan (0:54)

Do you know him, Richard Belzer?

Jessimae Peluso (0:55)

I don't know him personally, but he's a legend, for sure.

Joe Rogan (0:58)

He's a crazy conspiracy theorist, like off the deep end.

Jessimae Peluso (1:03)

Is he like...

Rate him with Sam Tripoli? Is it just as crazy?

Joe Rogan (1:07)

No, maybe more.

Jessimae Peluso (1:08)

Wow.

Joe Rogan (1:08)

Yeah, he's... I don't know if they believe in the same things. Because it's funny, there's like classifications of conspiracy theorists. Some conspiracy theorists are balls deep in like JFK. You try to bring up 5G, and they're like, get the fuck out of here with your 5G.

Jamie (1:23)

Yeah.

Jessimae Peluso (1:24)

Balls deep in JFK?

Joe Rogan (1:25)

Oh, yeah.

Jessimae Peluso (1:26)

It was a little sex joke. I mean, well, I guess he was balls deep in her.

Joe Rogan (1:29)

Allegedly.

Jessimae Peluso (1:29)

But I mean, who knows? Who knows what they were into behind closed doors? She could have strapped one.

Joe Rogan (1:33)

That's a good conspiracy theory too. Do you think they killed her?

Jessimae Peluso (1:36)

Oh, yeah.

Absolutely. Snitches, bitches get snitches.

Joe Rogan (1:40)

Yeah, something happens.

Jessimae Peluso (1:40)

Is that what it is? There's stitches that happen with bitches.

Joe Rogan (1:42)

Snitches get stitches.

Jessimae Peluso (1:44)

Bitches who are snitches get stitches.

Joe Rogan (1:45)

Yeah, or no stitches, because you're just dead.

Jessimae Peluso (1:47)

Yeah, you're dead. You get the ultimate stitch of life, which is just done.

Joe Rogan (1:52)

For sure, they killed her.

Jessimae Peluso (1:53)

So if you were going to write a book today, what would it be about?

Joe Rogan (1:55)

Oh, I don't know if I would do it today. I don't know.

Maybe this is what I should be doing right now during this COVID time, but I'm using it as an excuse to, I don't know, I'm not working on stand up at all. Wow. This is the first time in forever. No writing. I haven't written anything.

Jessimae Peluso (2:13)

Do you feel like it's relaxing, or do you feel any anxiety about having that detach from your day-to-day routine?

Joe Rogan (2:20)

That's not the anxiety. The anxiety is the world. The anxiety is what's happening right now.

Jessimae Peluso (2:25)

General existentialism?

Joe Rogan (2:26)

Well, just the fact that the economy has come to a complete screeching halt, and all these people are losing their jobs, and all these people are losing their businesses, and we're not exactly sure what to do. Because there's the hardcore people that are like, fuck it, open it up, keep the women and the old people safe.

Jessimae Peluso (2:44)

We're fucking fine. First of all, stop making us so weak.

Why are we grouped into old haggard people?

Joe Rogan (2:51)

I made that up.

Jessimae Peluso (2:52)

No, but you're right. It is a thing.

Joe Rogan (2:54)

Well, you know, women and children first.

Jessimae Peluso (2:55)

Yeah, which we should be, for sure.

Joe Rogan (2:57)

Well, on the Titanic, you were.

Jessimae Peluso (2:58)

Yeah, on the Titanic, we were.

Joe Rogan (3:00)

That's why everybody loves Leonardo DiCaprio, because he died for her.

Jessimae Peluso (3:02)

Paint me like your little French girl.

Joe Rogan (3:04)

Yeah, but meanwhile, I'm like, can you both get on that fucking raft?

Jessimae Peluso (3:06)

I know.

Joe Rogan (3:07)

It's not that. It's lying on top of each other. You're already making out.
