Shane Gillis (0:14)

Yes.

Joe Rogan (0:15)

What's up, boys? What's happening?

I'm bored.

Matt McCusker (0:18)

I'm all strapped in.

Joe Rogan (0:20)

You got your paper in front of you, you're ready to go.

Matt McCusker (0:22)

Yeah, this was just here.

Shane Gillis (0:23)

Just hit the blunt. You're ready to fucking take some notes, dude.

Matt McCusker (0:25)

Exactly.

Joe Rogan (0:26)

You seem like a guy ready to take notes.

Matt McCusker (0:28)

That's pretty accurate.

Shane Gillis (0:29)

Hold you out some notes.

Matt McCusker (0:30)

Counterpoints? Actually.

Shane Gillis (0:32)

You'll see some notes.

Joe Rogan (0:34)

You guys started out together?

Shane Gillis (0:35)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (0:35)

Nice.

Shane Gillis (0:36)

Lived together. Lived together. I was his best man at his wedding. Oh shit. He was my guy.

Matt McCusker (0:42)

Gave a speech.

Shane Gillis (0:43)

Wow.

SPEAKER_4 (0:43)

His speech was nice.

Shane Gillis (0:45)

I was fucked up.

Jamie (0:47)

Were you?

Matt McCusker (0:47)

Unbelievable.

Shane Gillis (0:48)

I was like.

Jamie (0:49)

Bud lights?

Shane Gillis (0:50)

Yeah.

Jamie (0:51)

How many?

Shane Gillis (0:52)

I have no idea.

A wedding? Dude, you think it would protect our parks or something?

Matt McCusker (0:56)

Yeah. It came in abstract.

Shane Gillis (0:58)

A wedding, I like wet my pants. I was like, shit, I gotta give a speech. I was like, I'll be all right. I'm used to giving speeches. I got up there, I was like, Matt's wife, you're crazy. Matt, you're fucking nuts. This thing might be crazy enough to work, folks.

Joe Rogan (1:15)

This thing might be crazy enough to work. Isn't it wild that so many people get married, but half of them fail?

Yeah. You would think that more people would be like, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Matt McCusker (1:25)

I'm divorced, this is my second time around. Really? I got married relatively young, though.

Joe Rogan (1:29)

But I think then it's like a practice run.

Like you learn, like, oh, I can fix this. Let me try this again.

Matt McCusker (1:36)

Yeah. I mean, girlfriends, that was just like, that was like free play mode. That didn't even count.

Getting married is fucked up. When like you're like, I just, I got married the first time because it was like, I was like, yeah, I'll get married, I guess. That was all I thought. I was like, cool.

Joe Rogan (1:49)

When you got divorced, was it a big, was it a pain in the ass? Like, was it a big one?

Matt McCusker (1:54)

I mean, yeah.

Joe Rogan (1:54)

Or was it fairly?

Matt McCusker (1:55)

I mean, it wasn't like, you know, we didn't have kids, so it wasn't like, you know, like.

Joe Rogan (1:58)

But did you have to go through financial bullshit?

Matt McCusker (2:00)

No, I didn't have any money.

Joe Rogan (2:01)

That's good.

Matt McCusker (2:02)

Yeah, I had absolutely nothing.

Joe Rogan (2:04)

But watching people get drained, watching like rich dudes get drained, and you see them going from not having to worry about anything to like, oh shit.

SPEAKER_7 (2:12)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (2:13)

Like, how am I gonna cover my bills?

SPEAKER_7 (2:15)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (2:16)

I've seen that. I've seen that multiple times, man. I've seen guys get, they get divorces, just like Leon Edwards in the head.

Shane Gillis (2:25)

It's a slap.

Joe Rogan (2:25)

Just get stiffened up.

Matt McCusker (2:28)

It's miserable in death, it sucks. Even if you're not losing money, it's pretty shitty.

Shane Gillis (2:32)

That's when me and Matt met. I was like, we started hanging out and then he started getting a divorce and I was right there for it. It was nice.

Matt McCusker (2:39)

I moved from a marriage into a house of like five comedians.

We all just. Nice. Yeah, I was fucking sick. On an air mattress.

Joe Rogan (2:47)

Nice.

Matt McCusker (2:47)

Did two years on an air mattress.

Joe Rogan (2:49)

That's nice.

Matt McCusker (2:50)

My air mattress would deflate and I'd take it back to Walmart in the box, return it, get a new one.

Joe Rogan (2:54)

Bro, if my wife ever leaves me, I'm buying a ranch and I'm inviting everybody to live there.

Shane Gillis (2:58)

Usually women.

Joe Rogan (3:00)

I'm just coming up, build you some houses.

Matt McCusker (3:03)

Women to initiate.

Joe Rogan (3:04)

Giant chunk of land and I'll build everybody a house. Let's go.

Shane Gillis (3:10)

It'd be like Stanhope's though. There'd be a fire eventually. Yeah, eventually.

Joe Rogan (3:14)

Yeah, Stanhope's roof, it's ceiling caught on fire.

Shane Gillis (3:16)

It was in his attic.
