Joe Rogan Podcast, check it out!

Fahim Anwar (0:16)

Oh, Fahim Anwar Dance Hour.

Joe Rogan (0:18)

Oh, The Dance Hour.

Fahim Anwar (0:19)

The Dance Hour, man.

Joe Rogan (0:20)

Why is it The Dance Hour?

Fahim Anwar (0:21)

It's a loose term, like, it's a comedy podcast, but I kind of haven't a feel, I love dance music and like, dancing.

Joe Rogan (0:27)

Remember I accidentally posted that thing because I really thought it was you? Yeah, yeah. I was like, damn, Fahim can fucking move.

Fahim Anwar (0:32)

That was the long boarding video.

Joe Rogan (0:34)

Yeah, the guy on the board, yeah, dancing. He was dancing on the board.

Fahim Anwar (0:37)

I thought someone, sometimes people, this thing will happen on Instagram where people keep on sending me pictures or videos of people who kind of look like me.

Joe Rogan (0:45)

That guy kind of looked like you. Yeah, but I thought it was you.

Fahim Anwar (0:47)

Okay, well, I just thought it was so funny. I go, is there anything I can't do? And I posted it on my Instagram.

And it's this guy, like, his name is Loti for, we became friends because you did this.

Joe Rogan (0:57)

Oh, that's hilarious.

Fahim Anwar (0:58)

Just via Instagram.

And it's this guy, I think he's in France, and he's just killing it on a longboard. Go to his page, he's amazing.

Joe Rogan (1:05)

Because you could dance so well. I thought you could do that too.

Fahim Anwar (1:08)

Well, it's flattering. So for you to be like, just throwing a longboard? Yeah, he's great.

So I posted that, or one of these, and I go, is there anything I can't do?

Joe Rogan (1:18)

That's not that one, because I would be like, well, that's not Fahim. Yeah. That's the guy. Look at him, handsome bastard.

Look at him out there, longboarding. That is a skill that is very impressive, but highly impractical.

Fahim Anwar (1:33)

It's working for him, man.

Joe Rogan (1:34)

Yeah, very impressive to learn how to do that.

Fahim Anwar (1:38)

But I remember I posted it, and then I go about my day at my house, and then I check my Instagram, and I'm getting all these followers and shit, and I don't know why. I go, well, so I have to reverse engineer what's going on.

And then I look at your, I was like tagged by Joe Rogan, I look at it, and my heart sank. I go, oh no. Because I felt bad. Like I'm getting all this stuff from something just like a dumb joke with my friends on Insta.

Joe Rogan (2:04)

I tagged that guy.

Fahim Anwar (2:05)

No, no, you did after, because I texted you.

Joe Rogan (2:07)

Oh, I did.

Fahim Anwar (2:08)

I go, no, dude.

Joe Rogan (2:10)

I said it's not you, but did I definitely tag the guy as well?

Fahim Anwar (2:12)

Eventually, once we cleared it up.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then I go, that was a joke, and then you did give him credit.

Joe Rogan (2:17)

You know what's the worst? When someone sends you a really funny meme, and you're like, fuck, I don't know who made this. I need to find who made this. Because I want to put it up, but I don't want to not have that person get credit for it.

Fahim Anwar (2:31)

That's the trouble with meme comedy. It's almost like, it's like Linux. It's open source.

Joe Rogan (2:35)

Yes, sort of.

Here he is. Yeah, this is you. I thought it was you, dude.

Fahim Anwar (2:43)

With the shirt open?

Joe Rogan (2:45)

So I didn't fucking tag the guy.

Fahim Anwar (2:48)

You did it?

Joe Rogan (2:49)

No, dude, I did not tag that guy.

Fahim Anwar (2:51)

Oh, fuck.

Joe Rogan (2:52)

I said, whoever the fuck he is.

Fahim Anwar (2:53)

Well, tell him now.

Joe Rogan (2:55)

Yeah. Well, now we know.

I thought that was you. I'm looking at this. I'm like, dang, look at Fahim go.

Fahim Anwar (2:59)

I guess I just thought it was so beyond my skillset that people would know that it's not me.

Joe Rogan (3:04)

Well, I don't know what your skillset is. There's a lot of people that can do wild shit that you don't know. Like, a lot of comics are good at other stuff, and you don't know about it until you get close to them. You're like, what? You can do that?

There's a lady that I posted on my Instagram. I didn't know it was her. I think I posted it. I think it was Willie D posted it, and I reposted it.
