Joe Rogan (0:04)

The Joe Rogan Experience.

Mike Baker (0:15)

That's really nice.

Joe Rogan (0:16)

Foundation Cigars, shout out to them. What's up, Mike Baker, how are you?

Mike Baker (0:19)

I'm doing well, thank you.

Joe Rogan (0:20)

What do you got in those pieces of paper to scare the shit out of me with?

Mike Baker (0:23)

Yeah, you know what? This.

Joe Rogan (0:24)

You got notes.

Mike Baker (0:26)

I got notes, because you know why, because I'm always being accused of wandering, not being as organized as I should be.

Joe Rogan (0:33)

That's just this podcast does that to people.

Mike Baker (0:35)

Yeah, maybe so, but I said to myself, fuck it, I'm gonna write some things down. Because there's so much that's happened since the last time we sat down.

And so, I made a list. I'm gonna run through that if you don't mind. Since last show, see, I even headlined it. Chinese Spy Balloon, failed mutiny in Russia, four indictments of Trump now, last night was the fourth.

Bank account records showing the Biden family took over $20 million. Pee-wee Herman died. I'm glad you got that in your notes. I got that, I actually, yeah, it's right there. And it's right before the two-year anniversary of the Afghan withdrawal. I probably should have put that above Pee-wee Herman.

Joe Rogan (1:15)

Why did you put Pee-wee Herman in there?

Mike Baker (1:17)

You know what? Because when I found out that Paul Rubens died, I was sad. I mean, it was like, I'm old enough, I actually went to a show that Paul did when he was kind of working out his Pee-wee character, right?

And it was fantastic. What was this? This was, oh, fuck, it was years ago. So it would have been, before, it was probably like 80, shit, 82, 83, 81? Somewhere in that timeframe, right? It was a long time ago. It was at Georgetown University in DC.

And it was a great show. Anyway, point thing. And then, and I always thought, like, he didn't get enough credit for, like, Pee-wee's Playhouse. And I know that people are like, what the fuck is he talking about? But he was really, he was a good guy. He kinda got, he got off the rails with a little bit for a period of time with that.

He was wanking in a porn theater.

Joe Rogan (2:12)

Yeah, but isn't that what they do in those things? Especially a gay porn theater?

Mike Baker (2:16)

I guess, yeah. It's gotta sound weird, right? The kids, though?

Joe Rogan (2:19)

Yeah.

Mike Baker (2:19)

Like, porn theater. What?

Joe Rogan (2:20)

I know.

Yeah. That's, they used to have to go to places.

Mike Baker (2:24)

You had to, I don't, yeah.

Joe Rogan (2:25)

I don't know if you had to. Back when he was doing it, I don't think there was a law, but I think back when he was doing it, there were still, VHS tapes were out.

I think DVDs were out back then, too, cause this was like, I wanna say he got busted in like 90 something?

Mike Baker (2:41)

Yeah, yeah, it was easily.

Joe Rogan (2:43)

91

Mike Baker (2:43)

91, okay, yeah.

Joe Rogan (2:45)

So definitely VHS tapes were, that was back when you had to go through the curtains.

Mike Baker (2:48)

Or laser disks or something.

Joe Rogan (2:49)

Remember, like, those beads?

Mike Baker (2:51)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (2:51)

These kids today, they don't know jack shit. They're getting their porn off of a phone.

Mike Baker (2:55)

Well, that's just it. I don't think, they don't have an appreciation for how hard you had to work back in, certainly in the 70s and 80s. I mean, it got easier by the time the 1990s rolled around, but it was, you had to go on like a quest or something.

Joe Rogan (3:07)

Yeah, and you had to be shamed.

Mike Baker (3:10)

What is it that you seek?

Joe Rogan (3:11)

Simple facts of what happened Friday night in Ruben's hometown of Sarasota, Florida, are familiar by now. According to the County Sheriff's Office, three detectives, they said it, three guys, they catch people jerking off at the XXX South Trail Cinema to watch the audience that was watching a triple bill of Catalina 5-0 Tiger Shark, Nurse Nancy, and turn up the heat. After the sting operation had hauled in three men on charges of violating Florida State Statute 800.03, exposure of sexual organs, Detective William Walters allegedly saw a man masturbate, in quotes. That's how the rap sheet spells it, spells it wrong.

Instead of er, it says e. In the Darkin Theater at 8:25 p.m. and again at 8.35, twice, caught him twice.
