#1969 - Sam Tallent

Joe Rogan (0:04)

The Joe Rogan Experience.

I've been running Sam Tallent with them headphones, enjoying the fucking party. Get the microphone up about like a fist from your face.

Sam Tallent (0:21)

Jamie, how's this?

Do I sound powerful and elegant? Thank you.

Joe Rogan (0:26)

Bro, you are powerful and elegant.

Sam Tallent (0:28)

Thanks, man.

Joe Rogan (0:29)

You are enough.

Sam Tallent (0:30)

I appreciate that. I'm good enough.

Joe Rogan (0:32)

I had a friend of mine, and she was asking me something just about comedy. And I go, I just, you know, no one, I don't like my stuff. Like, no one likes their stuff. Like, you see it too much. It just like, it gets in your head.

And you're like, ugh. You like gotta, I look at it like a hater. And she goes, I just want you to know, no matter what, that you are enough. I go, what?

I go, no, no, no, that's not what I'm saying. I'm not saying like, like, I don't like my stuff. Like, I have a problem, like, I'm a crazy person. No, I'm just like, that's just the process.

Sam Tallent (1:02)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (1:02)

Like, I feel good.

Sam Tallent (1:03)

Right.

Joe Rogan (1:03)

Like, but that thing that people say to people, you are enough. I just want you to know that you are enough.

Sam Tallent (1:09)

Look, I don't need validation from you, lady.

Joe Rogan (1:11)

She's a nice lady.

Sam Tallent (1:13)

I'm sure she's a nice lady.

Joe Rogan (1:14)

She's a very nice lady.

Sam Tallent (1:14)

But I don't think you're going to her to be like, can you hold my hand through this difficult period?

Joe Rogan (1:18)

I think some people do do that to people, and they go fishing for that kind of response.

Sam Tallent (1:21)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (1:22)

That you are enough. I'm like, no, no, I'm okay.

Sam Tallent (1:24)

It's like, look, I know. Look around, lady.

I kind of made Austin a thing. Yeah, I know I'm okay. I mean, it's sweet of her, but.

Joe Rogan (1:32)

No, she's awesome.

Sam Tallent (1:33)

I also hate watching my shit, dude.

That'd be my Guantanamo. That making me watch all my old specials? Yuck.

Joe Rogan (1:40)

God damn it.

Sam Tallent (1:41)

Or like a YouTube clip from like 2007?

Joe Rogan (1:43)

That's the thing that you have to do too. Like when working on new material, I either watch or listen to it.

Have to listen to it. Just have to. I gotta know like what makes me groan. What makes me go yuck?

Sam Tallent (1:55)

What's the cringe in there?

Joe Rogan (1:56)

Yeah, what's the yuck? How do I cut the yuck out of that?

Sam Tallent (1:58)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (1:59)

It's just like, you're gonna have that. You gotta look at your act like you're a hater.

Sam Tallent (2:02)

Oh, for sure. I do. Luckily, I never have any moments where I'm like, oh, this is working out. I watch and I'm like, why is your leg like that? I can barely hear the joke. I'm like, Jesus Christ, look at your hair. When did that leave?

Look how far that's receding. Jesus.

Have you always, how long have you been shaving your head?

Joe Rogan (2:23)

12 years.

Sam Tallent (2:24)

Yeah. I'm going there, man.

Joe Rogan (2:26)

Yeah, it's way better.

Sam Tallent (2:27)

Yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Joe Rogan (2:28)

You don't think about it anymore. It's like, oh, it's like one less thing to think about.

If you have a good shaped head.

Sam Tallent (2:33)

I don't.

Joe Rogan (2:34)

Some people have flat heads, like their head's flat, but now you got a new joke about having a flat head.

Sam Tallent (2:37)

Yeah, then I have to turn around or have a mirror behind me.

Joe Rogan (2:39)

That's fine.

Sam Tallent (2:40)

Yeah, it's all right.

Joe Rogan (2:41)

Give me a little fucking.

Sam Tallent (2:41)

I'm gonna get into props.

Yeah. No, I don't have a good head. It's bumpy. I think if I shaved my head, I would go mutton chops. I would leave the chops.

Joe Rogan (2:49)

Why don't you go fucking full Sufi beard?

Yeah, just lower. Just the lower beard like daggers.

Sam Tallent (2:57)

Yeah, right.

Joe Rogan (2:58)

Yeah. Amish go underneath the chin.

Sam Tallent (3:00)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (3:00)

The apple butter underneath. Right.

Sam Tallent (3:02)

I think there's some kind of like recessive allele where they're not like God keeps them from having any hair on their cheeks.

Joe Rogan (3:08)

There's so many Muslims who fight in the UFC who have shaved heads and they grow a full ass beard. There's the Amish one. That's ridiculous.
