#1529 - Whitney Cummings & Annie Lederman

Joe Rogan (0:00)

First of all, how do you two not have a show together? Hanging with you guys the other night at the store, first of all, how much fun was that?

Whitney Cummings (0:08)

The best.

Annie Lederman (0:09)

It was so much fun. But is that what it, I can't remember because it's been so long, it's been like six months now. Was that what every night was like?

Joe Rogan (0:15)

A lot of nights were like that.

Annie Lederman (0:16)

We just had the craziest, like a circus freak night.

Joe Rogan (0:19)

Just fun, just laughing constantly. We used to go to the back bar and crack each other up. That was the constant thing. It was either in the back bar or the back smoking area and everybody was laughing.

And you get like a low grade depression when you're not around it and you forget. You forget for months and months and months. And then we had one night where we're all like, ah! We were just shooting up and saying ridiculous shit.

Annie Lederman (0:41)

I do feel like I had like a crush on the night. Like I kept thinking about it like we'd fucked for the first time. I was like, I fucked that night. And I, is he thinking about me too? And I was like texting with you guys.

SPEAKER_4 (0:51)

We spent three days replaying the night. I remember when you said this, that was so funny.

Joe Rogan (0:57)

I got so emotional when I pulled up and then I walked into the store, I almost cried. I was like, I can't believe I'm here. Like it's just, and then it just, there's this, it's not like any of, like if I had been away for five months and I came back and be like, I can't believe I'm here, it'd be great.

But I was like, ooh, is here gonna ever be here again? Is it ever gonna be what it used to be? Cause it didn't, like, there's no reason why it shouldn't be if we could do it the other night. I mean, the way we did it the other night, everybody gets tested, you go and hang out and it's fun. And we had a great time.

Annie Lederman (1:24)

We did some PD tests, but we do all have COVID, unfortunately.

Whitney Cummings (1:27)

My chlamydia killed my COVID, so I'm good.

Joe Rogan (1:30)

Well, COVID goes away.

Annie Lederman (1:35)

We fingers crossed.

Joe Rogan (1:36)

Yeah, we don't know, right? What if it's an annual thing? It keeps coming back. I have a friend who got malaria, and then he got malaria again when he got sick. So it had been dormant inside of his system. My friend Justin Wren, he runs Fight For The Forgotten. He does charities in the Congo. He builds wells for the Pygmies. And he's there all, he got malaria three fucking times. And so he goes over there, he gets malaria like deathly ill, comes back, and then he beats it, does all the medication, and then a long time later, he gets really sick. And when he gets sick, the malaria kicks back in again. And he wasn't even in the Congo.

Annie Lederman (2:07)

The malaria is like not to be forgotten. This is a charity for me.

Joe Rogan (2:11)

Malaria has killed more people than anything.

Whitney Cummings (2:14)

That's right.

Joe Rogan (2:14)

Like anything ever.

Whitney Cummings (2:15)

More than wars, I think.

Annie Lederman (2:16)

My dad had malaria. He was born in Panama because his dad was stationed there, and he got malaria when he was a baby, but it never came up again.

Joe Rogan (2:24)

I think, Jamie, didn't we look this up? Didn't they say that, no, I fucked this up, that malaria has killed half the people who have ever died ever.

Whitney Cummings (2:31)

Whoa!

Joe Rogan (2:33)

Something.

Whitney Cummings (2:33)

That's wild.

Joe Rogan (2:35)

When we looked it up, it's been exaggerated a little bit, but it's definitely killed a lot of people. Let's say a quarter. If we say a quarter, it's probably pretty, imagine that. Just let's say 25% of all the people who have ever died ever been killed by malaria.

So I just put this on my Twitter or my Instagram that they released, or they're about to release some fucking untold hundreds of millions of genetically modified mosquitoes in the Everglades. I saw that. In the Everglades or in the Florida Keys? I feel Florida Keys.

Whitney Cummings (3:02)

Florida, I think.

Joe Rogan (3:02)

Who the fuck knows?

Whitney Cummings (3:03)

And what is it supposed to do?

Joe Rogan (3:04)
