Joe Rogan (0:00)

Once again, no better person to be ere at the end of the world than you, Reggie Watts. No finer human being to iesure this spectacular, chaotic time.

Thanks for being here, brother.

Reggie Watts (0:11)

Thanks you, man.

Joe Rogan (0:12)

My pleasure.

Reggie Watts (0:12)

Thank you for having me, I'm glad I made it.

Joe Rogan (0:14)

You were saying, Let's do all blog things, let's do the pandemic. Yeah. Let's the riots, everything is happening at the same time.

We're going to space.

Reggie Watts (0:22)

We are in space, we made ih to space. We just need some kind of a meteor, like a meteor that's gonna be here in a month, but we have to decide what to do.

Joe Rogan (0:33)

Well, it would be, riding would be out of control.

Reggie Watts (0:36)

Yes.

Joe Rogan (0:37)

Apparently, according to Nick Swartz, and there's some crazy UFO sightings over Idaho.

Reggie Watts (0:41)

What?

Joe Rogan (0:42)

I haven't heard anything about this, but he said there's some nutty UFO sightings over Idaho. They might be coming in to end this experiment.

They might be like, you fucking crazy chimp. We tried, we tried to let you guys sort it out, but you're not sorting out shit. You guys are getting worse.

Reggie Watts (1:00)

I know, I remember I was asked a question, what do you think humanity will have, if there was on a gravestone, what would humanity say on humanity's gravestone? And I said, well, we tried.

Joe Rogan (1:13)

We gave the old college try.

Reggie Watts (1:17)

We gave it a shot. We tried, we really tried.

Joe Rogan (1:20)

It's such a strange time, man, and it keeps getting stranger. It's like, did you see that in India, the monkey stole the coronavirus samples from the lab?

Reggie Watts (1:30)

Yes, totally, a gang of monkeys that were like, give me that, and they gave it to them. But the funny thing is they didn't get into it, so they actually were able to keep the specimens intact, which I thought was kind of crazy, yeah.

Joe Rogan (1:43)

Oh, I wonder what the monkeys thought it was.

Reggie Watts (1:45)

I don't know, they were probably just like, well, the way they're holding it looks important, I better take it.

Joe Rogan (1:49)

Yeah, well, they do that, apparently, and then you can give them food and they'll give it back to you.

They'll make deals. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Reggie Watts (1:56)

Oh, they'll barter?

Joe Rogan (1:56)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, they make deals, depending on the monkeys, depending on the territory. But if they're used to deals with people. That's so amazing. Oh, they're so smart, man.

They're like really dumb people.

Reggie Watts (2:06)

Yeah, yeah, which is saying a lot.

Joe Rogan (2:08)

It's crazy.

Reggie Watts (2:09)

Of like dumb people.

Joe Rogan (2:10)

Because they'll fucking, did you see the one where the monkey ran, used the motorcycle and rode up to the baby and stole the baby?

Reggie Watts (2:18)

What?

Joe Rogan (2:18)

Oh my goodness. Are you serious?

Must pull this one up. Bro, it is the crazy, I don't, I think it was in there. I don't wanna say Indonesia.

Jamie (2:26)

It was also on a leash. I don't know if you noticed that.

Joe Rogan (2:28)

The monkey was on a leash?

Jamie (2:29)

Yeah, somebody had him like by, that's why it came back so fast.

Reggie Watts (2:33)

Oh.

But it was, I don't really know what was going on. It was throttling though. It was like, crazy.

Joe Rogan (2:38)

Yeah, the monkey rode a motorcycle down this alley to these people that were sitting there, grabs a baby and starts dragging the baby away. Watch this, here he goes. See, here's the monkey on the motorcycle.

Hold on, do it from the beginning. I did, I did.

Reggie Watts (2:53)

He rode up on a motorcycle?

Joe Rogan (2:55)

But do it from the beginning so he can see it.

Watch this, see? On the motorcycle, ah, pulls up, jumps off, grabs that baby, just grabs him and pulling the baby away. First of all, how fucking strong are monkeys?

Reggie Watts (3:09)

Yeah, they're really strong. I like how casual the dude is though. The guy is like, hey, try not to have your monkey take my baby away.

Joe Rogan (3:16)

Jamie, where do you see this leash?

Jamie (3:18)

You see how it's getting dragged away?

Joe Rogan (3:20)

No.

Jamie (3:20)

The monkey's getting dragged away. It's not walking away.

Watch the monkey, it's getting dragged too.

Reggie Watts (3:26)

Oh, it's just holding, he's holding on to the baby and he's being dragged.
