#1648 - Reggie Watts

SPEAKER_2 (0:04)

The Joe Rogan Experience.

Joe Rogan (0:15)

Of course. Imagine what a black hole sounds like. What do you think it sounds like?

Reggie Watts (0:19)

I think, didn't someone, they simulated it or something, some physicists simulated it or something? Yeah, it's like, it does make a sound.

Jamie (0:28)

I think that's the best part of Interstellar. I mean, my favorite part of it.

Reggie Watts (0:31)

Oh man.

Jamie (0:32)

Chinese theater, it was so loud and fucking awesome.

Joe Rogan (0:34)

Oh, you want to see it there?

Jamie (0:35)

I wanna see it again there, so bad.

Joe Rogan (0:38)

IMAX is the place to see it, right?

Jamie (0:39)

It was the IMAX theater he made it at. He was testing it there to make sure it was two par and it was that way.

Joe Rogan (0:46)

That's a bold movie, man. Very bold movie.

Reggie Watts (0:48)

Oh yeah, super sick, too.

Joe Rogan (0:50)

Just think of all the elements of people have to follow along, especially the ending.

Spoiler alert. Oh yeah, totally. And he's looking at himself through, like what is happening there? You gotta, if you take a kid there, he's like, Dad, what is going on here?

Reggie Watts (1:07)

You're like, I don't know, man. We're in the same spot.

SPEAKER_2 (1:09)

I can't really explain it, son.

Reggie Watts (1:11)

We'll talk about it later. We're in the same spot.

Joe Rogan (1:15)

Does it have the sound of it?

Reggie Watts (1:17)

That robot was so dope.

Jamie (1:20)

It's just translating as great movie sound, but it's just a rocket.

Joe Rogan (1:29)

Yeah, this isn't working. I would imagine without the rocket, it sounds like stars getting smushed.

Reggie Watts (1:36)

Yeah, it's just like, I think it was like they were saying, like, you know, that type of a thing.

Joe Rogan (1:41)

Just the fact that that's a real thing, that in the center of every galaxy is this giant mass that's eating stars.

Reggie Watts (1:48)

Star eaters.

Joe Rogan (1:48)

Just sucking them into who knows what on the other end.

Reggie Watts (1:54)

You know, it's great. I love reading about it. I mean, I haven't read about Black Holes in a really long time since I think a Michio Kaku book that I had, but that was a while, a while ago. But I mean, it's so fascinating, that weird, like, you know, that point, it's like the event horizon. It's like theoretically, it wouldn't work like this, but theoretically, there's just like a membrane, and you're just close, close, you're fine, you're fine, you're fine.

You just get sucked in and just stretched and broken, just crushed to bits.

And then, I guess, just reconstituted as pure energy on the other side. Because it definitely doesn't get destroyed, it gets redistributed. They're redistributors.

Joe Rogan (2:29)

We're just so concerned about the finite life that we live. Like, we're so concerned of preserving this very fragile existence, that the idea of getting reconstituted into pure energy in another dimension is, like, horrific.

But that's why we're here.

SPEAKER_5 (2:45)

We're here, right?

Joe Rogan (2:46)

We're here because a star exploded.

Reggie Watts (2:48)

Yeah, we're made of stars.

Joe Rogan (2:50)

What's that old song?

SPEAKER_5 (2:51)

We are stardust, we are golden, we are a billion-year-old comet.

Reggie Watts (2:57)

Is that from the 60s?

SPEAKER_5 (2:58)

And we got to get ourselves back to the god.

Reggie Watts (3:03)

It's like the Strawberry Alarm Clock or something.

Joe Rogan (3:07)

Joni Mitchell did a version of it, but I don't think she was the origin... Well, maybe she was original.

Maybe she wrote it, I don't know.

Reggie Watts (3:14)

Joni Mitchell, artist, Message to Love, Crosby... Oh, it's probably Crosby Stills in it, definitely.

SPEAKER_2 (3:20)

When you were singing it, the way you were singing it.

Joe Rogan (3:23)

Can you give us a little bit before we get in trouble?

Give me a little taste. Give me a little taste.

Reggie Watts (3:27)

Give us 2.6 seconds.

Joe Rogan (3:28)

Give me a little taste of, like, 1970s acid. 1970s acid and marijuana grown in that Mendocino range where that Hulu series the sasquatch was made.

Reggie Watts (3:44)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (3:45)

There it is.

I haven't heard this. You never heard this? Oh my goodness. This is classic.

Reggie Watts (4:00)

I got to get into them.

Joe Rogan (4:08)

Keep it going. Fuck it. Let's test Spotify's algorithms out.

It's pretty fucking good, man, especially when you're high. There's something about being high, that old music just resonates, man. There's some like Almond Brothers songs that are different when you're high. You listen to them when you're like Midnight Rider.
