Dan Soder (0:04)

The Joe Rogan Experience.

Joe Rogan (0:13)

All good, Dan Soder, all good, we're up and running. What's happening, brother, how are you?

Dan Soder (0:17)

What's up, Joe Rogan?

Joe Rogan (0:18)

Very nice to meet you, officially.

Dan Soder (0:20)

Very nice to officially meet you.

Joe Rogan (0:21)

I've enjoyed your comedy online.

Dan Soder (0:23)

Thanks, man.

Joe Rogan (0:23)

Nice to see you in person.

Dan Soder (0:25)

Friend of a friend, of multiple friends.

Joe Rogan (0:27)

You're in the tight group of excellent people.

Dan Soder (0:29)

Yeah, thanks.

Joe Rogan (0:30)

You're respected.

Dan Soder (0:31)

Yeah, I got a lot of funny friends that are also fucking weirdos.

Joe Rogan (0:34)

Yeah, well, I don't know a funny one that's not a weirdo.

Dan Soder (0:37)

Yeah, show me someone that's funny and they're not gonna be, you know, they can be quiet, but they're weird.

Joe Rogan (0:42)

Everyone who tells jokes for a living is fucking weird.

Dan Soder (0:46)

Psychos and phonies. I said that to Santino.

We're all either psychos or phonies.

Joe Rogan (0:51)

Is there any phonies that are good, though?

Dan Soder (0:53)

They get found out.

No, the phonies, they can trick you for a little. Because you gotta have a little sweetness in it. And then they whip it into, you know what it is? It's a Oz. The phonies are Oz. They have the big, booming voice, and everyone's like, oh! And then you just a guy behind a curtain, and you're like, fuck.

Joe Rogan (1:15)

The scary for the phonies must be when they get caught stealing jokes. Because then they have to write all their own jokes afterwards, and they don't really know how to do that.

Dan Soder (1:22)

That's hard.

Joe Rogan (1:23)

It's the hardest.

Dan Soder (1:23)

To write in jokes.

Joe Rogan (1:24)

It's the hardest. Coming up with premises, fleshing them out, trying to figure out the right way to do them.

Dan Soder (1:29)

Seeing people with better jokes.

There's nothing more of a dick pusher in than seeing someone with a great bit. And you're like, oh, fuck, that's so good.

Joe Rogan (1:38)

Especially on a subject that maybe you were thinking about talking about. And then this guy has this fucking perfect bit about it. You're like, oh my God, I missed it.

Dan Soder (1:45)

I was just in Nashville, and I saw Chris Porter do this bit about people that are worried about being chipped. I'm not gonna give away the bit, but I watched it, and I watched the angles, and he got off stage, and I was like, I was mad at you by the third tag.

By the third tag, I was like, who the fuck is this guy writing a damn near perfect, where the thought, it's not where you thought I was gonna go, but it makes the most sense. You're like, fuck dude, god damn it. Now you gotta go back to your hotel room and hate your act. I gotta hate my act for a week.

Joe Rogan (2:13)

There was a fucking company in Europe that was chipping their employees, and for normal shit, getting into a door and buying something in the commissary.

Dan Soder (2:23)

But that European attitude, they're like, oh, it's fine, I just chipped in as the door opens.

Jamie (2:29)

And the door opens, it's no problem.

Dan Soder (2:31)

I go get my little espresso and I come outside. I'm chipped, yeah, don't.

It's always that European attitude that makes me feel like, are we, as Americans, overly paranoid, or are we right?

Joe Rogan (2:42)

That's why when that Klaus Schwab guy talks.

Dan Soder (2:45)

Yeah, I don't even know who that is. You could have made that name up.

That sounds like a made up name.

Joe Rogan (2:49)

Oh my God, he's the head of the World Economic Forum, and he dresses like a bad guy in a comic book. I'm not kidding.

Dan Soder (2:59)

If you have that, I'm telling you, if you're that kind of power, do that.

Joe Rogan (3:02)

Why not?

Dan Soder (3:03)

Do that.

Honestly, I think you should lean into, you should start advertising yourself as a Bond villain.

Think about it, dude. You got the compound in Texas. You know karate. You're already a Bond villain, dude. And then you can just sit in a chair and be like, Jamie, pull it up. The world must pay me. Do it, dude.

Joe Rogan (3:23)

Yeah, I wish that was a real thing. But this guy is a real thing.

Dan Soder (3:27)

Dude, I can't wait to see this guy.
