SPEAKER_4 (0:19)

You're not taking it?

Joe Rogan (0:20)

That's Joey Diaz, laughing gas week.

Shane Gillis (0:21)

Oh my God, dude.

Joe Rogan (0:22)

You both pussied out. You called him a pussy, and then you passed it.

Shane Gillis (0:25)

Yeah, I was joking. I was never gonna smoke that.

Mark Normand (0:27)

Yeah, let's smoke. I'll be under the table.

SPEAKER_8 (0:31)

I'll be under the table, you coward.

Shane Gillis (0:32)

I was already smoking it.

Ari Shaffir (0:33)

You can't bully me when I'm already doing it.

SPEAKER_9 (0:34)

He's bullying and he's not doing it. He bullied him and he didn't do it.

SPEAKER_4 (0:38)

Shane is the king of that.

Ari Shaffir (0:41)

Here's my only impression of Shane. You won't.

Shane Gillis (0:44)

Yeah, you won't do that.

Ari Shaffir (0:46)

Whatever's brought up, you won't.

Joe Rogan (0:48)

You have my favorite childish humor.

Shane Gillis (0:50)

It's so fun.

Mark Normand (0:51)

And it works, too.

Shane Gillis (0:52)

Grab your friend and you go, yeah, do that, dude. And then he's dumb.

SPEAKER_8 (0:58)

He's like, give me that shit, I'll do it right now.

Ari Shaffir (1:02)

I'll cut myself.

Joe Rogan (1:02)

Well, he's jet lagged. He came from another country.

SPEAKER_4 (1:05)

Oh, I can't believe you're doing this.

Mark Normand (1:06)

He had a day to rest.

Ari Shaffir (1:07)

Yeah, I had Athens for a fuckin five hours.

Joe Rogan (1:10)

Did you go see the Acropolis?

Ari Shaffir (1:12)

I did. It's so cool.

Mark Normand (1:15)

What's Acropolis?

Shane Gillis (1:16)

It's like a bunch of fuckin rubble.

Mark Normand (1:19)

Oh.

SPEAKER_8 (1:20)

Yeah, it's just shit that's spilled out.

Joe Rogan (1:21)

The Acropolis is the base, the Parthenon is the building, correct?

Shane Gillis (1:24)

Yes.

Ari Shaffir (1:25)

Dude, I tell ya, I looked up that a bunch of times when I was there and I still don't know.

Joe Rogan (1:29)

Nobody knows.

Ari Shaffir (1:30)

Yeah.

Mark Normand (1:31)

No idea.

Joe Rogan (1:31)

Yeah, the Acropolis is the building, the Parthenon is what it's built on.

Ari Shaffir (1:36)

Ah, interesting.

Mark Normand (1:37)

The Greeks were gay.

Ari Shaffir (1:38)

Greeks were gay.

Joe Rogan (1:41)

Okay, the Acropolis of Athens is an ancient citadel located on a rocky outcrop. Wait a minute, which one is the Acropolis and which one is the Parthenon?

Ari Shaffir (1:50)

I think that... Oh yeah, I don't know.

Joe Rogan (1:53)

I think the Acropolis is the building and the Parthenon is what it's built on.

Shane Gillis (1:58)

The Acropolis is, I think, the entire thing and the Parthenon is one of the buildings as a part of it.

Joe Rogan (2:02)

But what's the structure that it sits on? What's the Parthenon? Yeah, Google that. I'm pretty sure the Par...

One of them...

Ari Shaffir (2:08)

That's that one. That's under construction.

Joe Rogan (2:10)

So the Parthenon is the building, the Acropolis...

Ari Shaffir (2:13)

They built it back up, they realized it was the finish. There's scaffolding everywhere.

Shane Gillis (2:17)

The roof fell off.

Mark Normand (2:19)

How about that stamos?

Joe Rogan (2:20)

The centerpiece.

Ari Shaffir (2:20)

The fixer upper for sure.

Joe Rogan (2:23)

So, okay. The Parthenon is a former temple of the Athenian Acropolis, Greece, that was dedicated to the goddess Athena during the 5th century BC.

All those people were tripping balls, you know.

Mark Normand (2:33)

Goddess of Beauty.

Joe Rogan (2:34)

Yeah, there's a great book on it.

The Immortality Key by this guy Brian Murorescu. It actually opened up a field of study at Harvard. This guy wrote a book about how they did... They always suspected that their wine was laced with something, but then they got definitive proof because they found old vessels and they tested these vessels and they found ergot in them, which is a fungus that has LSD-like effects.

Ari Shaffir (3:01)

So they made up that they were gods?

Shane Gillis (3:02)

Dude, that must have fucked them up.

SPEAKER_9 (3:03)

That's where they came up with everything.

Joe Rogan (3:05)

That's where they came up with democracy. They came up with so much from tripping balls. They had this...

Ari Shaffir (3:09)

That makes sense. Like, he hit this rock and it became a spring, and then to fight him, he hit a rock and it became a tree.

Joe Rogan (3:15)

All those old people were tripping balls, and what they were doing was hiding it from the Romans, and they had to move away. Like, they started going into other countries when they got kicked out of Greece.
