Post Malone (0:00)

give you my dog's surprise.

Joe Rogan (0:06)

That's my Everybody's Too High song.

SPEAKER_3 (0:08)

Doo doo.

Joe Rogan (0:14)

When it's like, oh no.

SPEAKER_4 (0:16)

This guy's fucking high.

Joe Rogan (0:18)

Yeah, hang on.

And we're rolling. What's up, brother? How's it going?

Post Malone (0:25)

How are you?

Joe Rogan (0:26)

Got you in here, man.

Post Malone (0:27)

Yeah, I'm finally here.

Joe Rogan (0:30)

Bud Light, huh? This is your shit?

SPEAKER_3 (0:31)

Yeah, come on.

Post Malone (0:32)

Cheers, sir.

Joe Rogan (0:33)

Cheers, sir.

SPEAKER_3 (0:34)

Why not?

Joe Rogan (0:34)

Pleasure.

Post Malone (0:36)

Also, precursor, I haven't slept.

Joe Rogan (0:38)

I know. We haven't slept. We're on mushrooms.

And let's roll.

Post Malone (0:44)

Yeah, fuck it. We'll do it live. Let's do it live.

Fuck it.

Joe Rogan (0:51)

Why Utah, man? Why you live in Utah? What's that about?

Post Malone (0:53)

I have no idea.

Joe Rogan (0:55)

Are you from there?

Post Malone (0:57)

No, sir.

I was born in Syracuse, New York. It's beautiful there. It is absolutely something special.

Joe Rogan (1:02)

I really love it. It's got a good vibe, too, because it's almost like Utah is a secret because everybody's scared of the Mormons, so they don't go there.

Post Malone (1:11)

Right.

Joe Rogan (1:11)

But then you get there, and you're like, Jesus Christ, it's beautiful, and these Mormons are so nice.

Post Malone (1:15)

Everybody's so nice.

Everybody's so nice in Utah. And, you know, I did... So I don't remember what tour it was exactly, but there were supposed to be 5,000 people to show up. And then we end up getting to the show, and there's 17,000 people. So we had to move it outside of the venue, right on the salt flats.

Joe Rogan (1:36)

Oh, wow.

Post Malone (1:36)

And I was just like, if this isn't a sign from God or...

Joe Rogan (1:43)

The aliens.

Post Malone (1:44)

You know, the aliens, then I don't know what is. So I looked at houses on Zillow, and I found one and fixed it all up.

Joe Rogan (1:53)

That's awesome.

Post Malone (1:54)

I've been there two years just about.

Joe Rogan (1:57)

It's a good spot for a guy like you too, because it's chill in comparison to the rest of your life, which is so crazy.

Post Malone (2:02)

Yeah, well, that's the whole shit. I couldn't do LA. I couldn't do LA. I moved, like I said, from Syracuse to Dallas, and then Dallas to LA when I was 18

It's a lot for me, and I couldn't focus the way that I needed to.

Before COVID, there's always something going on. Right. Like, 24-7. It could be 8 in the morning. It could be, what time is it right now, 2 o'clock something? And then you gotta go do a podcast, or you gotta go to a rooftop pool party or something. And, you know, being in Utah, it's so peaceful, like you said, and you get to focus on the music and wake up to the mountain.

Joe Rogan (2:57)

Yeah.

Post Malone (2:58)

And the sun sets at 10 p.m. which is bizarre right around this time. Yeah.

SPEAKER_5 (3:04)

It's just nuts, you know?

Joe Rogan (3:05)

It is bizarre, right? Like, now, it's especially bizarre.

Utah's always got a weird vibe, man. Like, Zion National Park, you go out there to the rocks and shit.

Post Malone (3:16)

Skinwalker Ranch.

Joe Rogan (3:17)

I've been there.

Post Malone (3:18)

Have you?

Joe Rogan (3:18)

Yeah, nothing happened, though. We went there for a TV show. We were like, come on, aliens.

SPEAKER_5 (3:22)

Where are you, you fucks?

Joe Rogan (3:24)

They weren't buying it.

Post Malone (3:25)

You don't know Tyler.

Joe Rogan (3:26)

Tyler...

Post Malone (3:27)

The alien.

Joe Rogan (3:28)

Oh, no.

Post Malone (3:29)

Yeah, that's my dog.

Joe Rogan (3:30)

You were telling me you have an alien friend named Tyler.

Post Malone (3:32)

Yeah, his best friend's name is Ziggy.

Joe Rogan (3:34)

Do they visit you in the middle of the night?

Post Malone (3:36)

No, they don't.

They just visit me during the day. We just play beer pong.

Joe Rogan (3:40)

Damn.

If you do the right drugs, you can meet the aliens. We were talking about that in the green room. If you do the right amount of mushrooms in a tank, get in a flow tank, you can meet aliens.

Post Malone (3:51)

Well, that's whenever you're most vulnerable. Like you said, most vulnerable, most susceptible, too.

Joe Rogan (3:57)

That's why I like weed. We were talking about weed makes you vulnerable. And I think for someone like me, that's a good thing, to think that way, to think. Just look at all the vulnerabilities and just the reality of life and the temporary nature of it, which makes me more appreciative. The fear actually makes me more appreciative.
