The Joe Rogan Experience.

Andrew Santino (0:15)

Hello, Mr. Joseph Rogan, how are you, sir?

Joe Rogan (0:17)

Good, brother, what's crack-a-lacking?

Andrew Santino (0:18)

Nothing, man, had so much fun last night. Thank you, appreciate it, had a fun show.

Joe Rogan (0:23)

Welcome to God's Country.

Andrew Santino (0:24)

It was wonderful, me, you, Brian Simpson, Tony.

Joe Rogan (0:28)

Fun times.

Andrew Santino (0:29)

So fun, dude. Cheers, brother.

Joe Rogan (0:30)

Cheers.

Andrew Santino (0:30)

Cheers to you.

Joe Rogan (0:31)

Hans Kim.

Andrew Santino (0:32)

Yeah, Hans Kim. That's the first time I've seen him live.

Joe Rogan (0:35)

He's a funny motherfucker.

Andrew Santino (0:36)

Dude, I thought when he walked in there, a little bit of balconies, when he walked in the room, he took off his helmet and he had a jacket on, and I was like, this dude bought a bike, huh? I was like, what kind of bike do you have? He's like, it's a scooter. I was like, oh.

Joe Rogan (0:51)

He goes, but he's very fuel efficient.

Andrew Santino (0:54)

Dude, he's got the get-up though. He has the helmet, the jacket, matched his shoes.

SPEAKER_6 (0:58)

He needs to get him a motorcycle.

Andrew Santino (1:00)

He's got to get a bike. Well, there was a bike out back, and I was like, oh, is that Hans' bike? That's a nice bike. You know what?

Joe Rogan (1:04)

He should have a Harley. Hans should have a Harley.

Jamie (1:07)

Those big handlebars.

Joe Rogan (1:10)

No, those are stupid.

You can't steer. Why would you drive around in a bike that's very important to get the fuck out of way of stuff, and your arms are up like this? You do not have good leverage.

Andrew Santino (1:22)

Although if you're lanky, it looks cool.

Lanky dudes, it's kind of like a vibe for them. You know what I mean? It's like a style choice.

Joe Rogan (1:28)

I have a real problem with those handlebars.

Andrew Santino (1:32)

You're not the tallest guy. That's true too.

Joe Rogan (1:35)

But even if I was, even if you made it to my body, like here, it's still stupid.

Andrew Santino (1:40)

It still looks dumb.

Joe Rogan (1:42)

Like this.

You could steer right there. The race car, the racing bike guys, why do they have their handlebars down there? Why? Because that's the best way to steer.

Andrew Santino (1:50)

It's efficient.

Joe Rogan (1:51)

Look at that.

Come on, son. That's fucking preposterous.

Andrew Santino (1:56)

Yeah, but dude, the style is... Like there's something about it that makes me go, that's fucking wild.

Joe Rogan (2:00)

There's something about... Well, that's not terrible.

What that guy's got in that fucking... The front of that thing is sick. That is sick.

Jamie (2:07)

Hans on that, that'd be sweet.

Joe Rogan (2:08)

Oh, Hans on one with a skull. And look at the back end of it. Look at all that metal and shit.

Andrew Santino (2:13)

Look, I like Hans. He's putting that thing down in three hours.

Joe Rogan (2:15)

No, Hans can handle things. Hans is a black belt in Taekwondo.

Is he? Yeah. What is that skull one?

Jamie (2:20)

As a kid, I think, well.

Joe Rogan (2:22)

Show me that skull one. That is wild.

They do some wild shit with bikes.

Jamie (2:26)

Yeah, that's right.

Joe Rogan (2:27)

I went for a period of time where I took motorcycle classes, and I was ready to ride a bike. But then a dude that I worked with on Fear Factor crashed and fucked up his shoulder.

And then Frank Meir, who worked for the UFC, he got hit by a car and broke his leg and took him out of action for like, he was really never the same again. He was like one of the best in the world. Well, he was one of the best in the world for a long time, even after that, but that was like in the prime of his life. He got his femur shattered to the point where they, I mean, when you get your femur shattered, it's touch and go whether or not you lose your leg.

And he wasn't the same guy after that, like fighting. It took a long time before he really got his groove back.

Andrew Santino (3:05)

Did you have a bike? Did you ever own a bike?

Joe Rogan (3:07)

So then that happened, and then a friend of mine saw somebody get hit on a bike all within like two weeks while I was taking classes.

And I was like, fuck this. And a bunch of the guys that I worked with on Fear Factor, we all went to the classes together. And then a couple of guys that worked in production, one of the guys was a stunt guy, and we all were like, hey, let's get bikes.
