All day.

**Joe Rogan** (0:15)
How I got back into UFOs. If it wasn't for that awesome documentary on Bob Lazar, you got me, buddy.

**Jeremy Corbell** (0:23)
You know, I want to weaponize your curiosity, Joe. Dave Foley got you back in.

**Joe Rogan** (0:28)
No, he didn't. No, no.
Dave Foley, I was excited to hear that he had become obsessed with UFOs, but he didn't really get me back in. It was the documentary.
The documentary was so compelling. It's really good. And folks, if you haven't seen it, it's called Area 51 & Flying Saucers. Bob Lazar, Area 51 & Flying Saucers.

**Jeremy Corbell** (0:46)
Nailed it.

**Joe Rogan** (0:47)
Yeah, it's really good.

**Jeremy Corbell** (0:48)
Thanks, man.
That documentary, for me, was the reason why I started making films. I picked up a camera. I just wanted to know if that guy was telling the truth. I was not a filmmaker. I was highly unqualified, like a lot of things that I knew in my life that I ended up loving. So that movie, the story, is what made me interested, too.

**Joe Rogan** (1:06)
How'd you get Mickey Rourke?

**Jeremy Corbell** (1:08)
Well that's a fucking weird story.
There's a tattoo shop called Mark Mahoney's Shamrock Social Club. Do you know about this?

**Joe Rogan** (1:16)
Yeah, I've heard of that place before.

**Jeremy Corbell** (1:17)
Okay. So Mark's been a good friend of mine, or I've been a friend of his since I was probably too young to be getting tattoos. And he let me come in and film for a couple of years right before that movie. And he doesn't let a lot of people in there to film.
And Mickey came in one day, and Mark's like, oh, you know, Jeremy's filming, can you want to talk to him about UFOs? And Mickey's like looking at me like, you know, what the fuck's this guy?
Somehow he ends up taking this stiletto and trying to like stick me in the ribs with it, you know, like just kind of joking.
But you got Mickey Rourke with a stiletto just getting a tattoo kind of jabbing you with this, you know, that so that kind of bonded us kind of. He thought I was trying to stab you. He was poking me. Yeah, he was he was poking me in the ribs. So that was my introduction to Mickey. But he's got this voice that's like a fucking Tibetan monk, you know, like gravelly. And I know because I had to take his audio and listen to it. It's just it's so bizarre. And I thought, who better to do this like controversial story than the controversial Mickey fucking Rourke talking poetry, you know, through the films. He was kind of that voice of our curiosity in the film. So that's how I got him. But basically, I just sent an offer and he never responded. So I went back to the tattoo shop randomly one day to see Mark in walks Mickey and I made a joke. It's like, oh, you just like to poke me with a stiletto, but you don't take my movie offer seriously. And he goes, what offer?
And I'm like, I need a narrator like in the next seven days, I have to deliver the film. And he goes, I never got the offer. The next fucking day, he came in because I know Mark was telling him, oh, no, help the kid out, you know, he came in and he fucking recorded with me. He saved my ass, man. Otherwise, they'd have to hear my voice in the movie because I didn't have anybody.

**Joe Rogan** (3:05)
Well, your voice would have been fine, but it was cool to have his voice.

**Jeremy Corbell** (3:08)
Thank you. I love that shit, man. People say his mouth sounds like he's got marbles in it.

**Joe Rogan** (3:14)
That guy's lived a weird life, you know?

**Jeremy Corbell** (3:16)
Yeah. But you know, he's...
I think people like that sometimes are misunderstood. I've seen this incredible side of him in that he's like a gentle person, you know?

**Joe Rogan** (3:29)
Is he fascinated with UFOs?

**Jeremy Corbell** (3:32)
He told me his UFO experience, and... He did. He did, and he let me record it with him.
And, I think like anybody, he's interested in this topic. I think once you see something that you can't explain, it gets worse, you know? You get a little more frustrated about it, because you want to learn, what did I just see? So I think he, like most of us, are interested in it.

**Joe Rogan** (3:59)
Yeah.
Well, let's just get into it, because there's been a lot going on lately. There's, obviously, there's been a shit ton of sightings, and there's been a lot of discussion with high level people about what these things are, what's the latest and greatest in UFO information?
