The Joe Rogan Experience.

Jim Breuer (0:17)

Oh, it just started?

Joe Rogan (0:18)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, we're rolling. Good to see you, brother.

Jim Breuer (0:20)

Good to see you, too.

Joe Rogan (0:21)

Dude, you're like one of my longest-term comedy friends. Like we've known each other since the early years, man.

Jim Breuer (0:28)

I want to say like 91

Joe Rogan (0:30)

Yeah, I think it's around 91

Jim Breuer (0:32)

And what a lot of people probably don't even know is like the way your TV career, your hardball.

Joe Rogan (0:40)

Yeah, you were on hardball. So Jim and I did a pilot for a sitcom that was on Fox in like 93

Jamie (0:48)

Yep.

Joe Rogan (0:49)

Right? Like 93?

Jamie (0:50)

Yep.

Joe Rogan (0:50)

And Jim was the mascot for the opposing team.

Jamie (0:56)

Right.

Joe Rogan (0:56)

And it was fucking hilarious. God damn, we had fun. I have a photo of you and I. We look like babies. I got to find it. We look like babies.

Jamie (1:05)

I would love to see that photo.

Joe Rogan (1:06)

Yeah, we were both like 26 And we were a little cute face, little babies.

Jim Breuer (1:11)

And I remember watching the show, so excited for you. And then after Hardball, because I'd always follow you, you then, was it news radio?

Joe Rogan (1:22)

Yeah.

SPEAKER_6 (1:23)

And I'm like, Joe's on news radio.

Jim Breuer (1:25)

And I'd tell my wife and we'd watch like, we're so excited for Joe. And then just watching you just constantly grow and grow.

And then, and then when you started doing the UFC, I would tell my friends, like, that's the real Joe, like that's Joe's, and when you start doing this, I went, that's, that's Joe Rogan, man, meaning this is, this is how I've known you forever. It's not like we've hung out all the time, but I, I remember just being in LA, just hanging out, talking to you, and I, and I, I couldn't relate to a lot of, you know, I was, I wanted leather pants and a fucking white tiger walking down, I was chasing it all, whatever, like, start them that way.

Joe Rogan (2:17)

What did you want?

Jim Breuer (2:18)

Dude, the first time I went to LA, I went into a place, and I bought, like, satin blue clothes, I wanted, I wanted Eddie Murphy leather pants with, with, with like a tiger, I wanted to walk down Melrose with a tiger just so people could go, fuckers, successful.

Joe Rogan (2:42)

So you had some, like, high school boy, like, the posters on the wall, like, these kind of thoughts about success, MTV showed me, I wanted to be a Judas Priest, I wanted to, I didn't know the guy was wearing an S&M outfit. Nobody did.

Jim Breuer (3:02)

So many guys came out with a bullwhip.

Joe Rogan (3:05)

When he came out as gay, a lot of guys like, hey, wait a minute.

I mean, look, go to give me a photo of Rob Halford. I met Rob Halford. He's a really nice guy. I did this VH1 show that I hosted once, and he was one of the guests on it. Super cool guy.

Jim Breuer (3:23)

Great guy.

SPEAKER_6 (3:24)

You got another thing coming.

Jim Breuer (3:27)

And I would argue with people. They go, Breuer, you know this guy's gay. I'm like, no, he's not.

Joe Rogan (3:35)

Look at the chaps. You don't even see the chaps in that picture. You just see the top of him.

Jim Breuer (3:38)

He's got a bullwhip. He's wearing an S&M outfit.

Joe Rogan (3:43)

Go to that one with an open shirt.

Jim Breuer (3:44)

Right there. He's screaming, I'm gay. And I'm yelling at people going, no, he's not. He's metal, you moron.

And the reason why I would argue is because I'd say, he doesn't have an earring in his right ear, because that's what defined what was gay. I had dangling cross earring. So everyone that was gay knew Breuer is not gay. He's got it on the left side.

But if you had it on the right ear, you're like, oh, this guy. Do I remember that? Of course I do.

Joe Rogan (4:16)

I remember if you were a rock and roll guy, you were allowed to have one in two years.

Jim Breuer (4:19)

Yeah, it still was a little sketch. For me, it was a little sketch.

If you had it in your right ear.

Joe Rogan (4:26)

And if you had hoops, they couldn't be too big. I remember I got a hoop on my left ear, and it was a little too big. And I looked at myself in the mirror, I was like, I don't know about that hoop.
