#1826 - Fahim Anwar

Joe Rogan (0:04)

The Joe Rogan Experience.

Fahim Anwar (0:12)

Cheers, sir.

Joe Rogan (0:14)

Good to see you, my friend.

Fahim Anwar (0:15)

Likewise, thanks for having me. I was commenting the round ice, I'm a fan.

Joe Rogan (0:20)

Yeah, I like the round ice. It makes you feel fancy.

You're a fancy person drinking bourbon on round ice.

Fahim Anwar (0:26)

Yeah, when in real, like, can we do this again?

Joe Rogan (0:29)

Yeah, you don't ever smoke cigars and drink whiskey unless you're with me?

Fahim Anwar (0:34)

No, I do other people, but like, yeah, this is like the thing to do.

You know what I mean? Last time was fun, we did it.

Joe Rogan (0:40)

Yeah, we're conversating. I like that word, too.

Fahim Anwar (0:43)

Yeah, conversating.

Joe Rogan (0:44)

Conversating, doesn't seem like it's a real word, but I think it is.

Fahim Anwar (0:47)

I think so.

Joe Rogan (0:50)

Yeah, good to see you, buddy.

Fahim Anwar (0:52)

Likewise.

Joe Rogan (0:52)

It was fun hanging out last night.

Fahim Anwar (0:54)

Yeah, I mean, I was here when things were shut down in LA with the pandemic, and I thought it was great then, like the way Vulcan was set up. And then last night, it's like even more people and they keep on like elevating.

Yeah. Yeah, it was a fun show.

Joe Rogan (1:07)

Well, you know, the scene here right now is just on fire. It's hopping. There's so many comics here. It's really fun.

Fahim Anwar (1:16)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (1:16)

It's a good time. Like on any given night at Vulcan, we'll have Ron White, Tony Hinchcliffe, Tim Dillon stops in sometimes, Tom Segura when he's not on the road, Christina Positzky stops in. There's so many comics here. Derrick Poston's here. David Lucas is here all the time. Hans Kim, William Montgomery. I mean, it's fucking hopping.

Fahim Anwar (1:36)

Yeah. I think that's part of the charm of that place, too. It was just people don't know who's gonna pop in.

Joe Rogan (1:41)

Yeah.

Fahim Anwar (1:42)

And even when I was here, I was here for like three months during the pandemic, it was cool. It almost felt like a festival city because it's that midpoint between New York and LA. So I would see like Yannis, I would see, guys I just wouldn't see unless I was doing Montreal or something.

Joe Rogan (1:55)

Yeah.

Fahim Anwar (1:55)

So it's this organic midpoint.

Joe Rogan (1:57)

Yeah, and there's also like other clubs, right? Like there's, with the other day we went over to see Ari, he was at the Creek in the Cave running his new hour special that he's gonna film July, I think it's 11th and 10th and 11th or 11th and 12th? 11th and 12th?

I think one of them might have some tickets available. The 11th is sold out, but I think there might be a few tickets left for the 12th. Don't sleep, because it's fucking good. His new special is called Jew.

Fahim Anwar (2:24)

I was going to name mine that as well.

Joe Rogan (2:26)

You should.

Fahim Anwar (2:27)

Yeah, I'm like, he's doing it.

Joe Rogan (2:28)

Get it out first. Yours is about to release. You should just change the name of yours.

Fahim Anwar (2:32)

Mine's out now.

Joe Rogan (2:32)

To Ari Shafir Jew.

Fahim Anwar (2:33)

Just rename everything?

Joe Rogan (2:35)

Just call it Ari Shafir Jew.

Fahim Anwar (2:36)

That has nothing to do with him whatsoever. I just beat him to the title.

Joe Rogan (2:41)

That would be funny if we just start naming our specials after our friends. You know, you just name a special, call it Neil Brennan.

Fahim Anwar (2:47)

He's like, hey man, why are you doing that?

Joe Rogan (2:50)

I like you, come on man.

Fahim Anwar (2:52)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (2:53)

That has nothing to do with me.

Fahim Anwar (2:54)

Do you know where he's gonna put his? Ari's?

Joe Rogan (2:58)

I think he's gonna do the YouTube route. We were talking about that last night. I honestly think that most of us are gonna wind up doing that. I mean, I think there's a lot of money in Netflix, right?

And Netflix is great, but for the widest possible distribution, I think you should put it everywhere and put it out for free.

Fahim Anwar (3:17)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (3:17)

Put it everywhere. Cause that's what you're doing. When you're doing a special, you're essentially saying, hey, this is like an advertisement to come see me live, which is, it's way better live anyway. Like I always say that coming to see someone in a club or in a theater or what have you is probably, it's at least 30 or 40% better than watching on TV.
