SPEAKER_1 (0:04)

The Joe Rogan Experience.

Tim Dillon (0:14)

How are you, sir?

Joe Rogan (0:14)

I'm good now, looking at that coat.

Tim Dillon (0:16)

Thank you for having me, it's Raccoon.

I went to a furrier in New York, and two little old Jewish guys, and they go, we don't have anything in your size, like a sable or chinchilla or any of the high end, but then one of the little guys goes, we may have a raccoon in the back.

And he came out with this, and this is a raccoon, but he was explaining it's from Finland, like these raccoons are Finnish.

Joe Rogan (0:49)

Is that the actual color of their fur, did they dye that?

Tim Dillon (0:56)

I think the raccoons in Finland have different colors, perhaps.

Joe Rogan (1:01)

Let's Google that. What does a raccoon look like in Finland? Is that a different animal?

What do they call them? They call them dumpster dogs or something like that? Trash pandas.

Tim Dillon (1:14)

I like a raccoon too, but I also like fur. I think people should be allowed to wear fur.

Joe Rogan (1:19)

Well, it is weird that you're allowed to kill animals and eat them.

Jamie (1:22)

Why do they call it a raccoon dog?

Tim Dillon (1:25)

Oh, so it is kind of similar to the coat I have.

Jamie (1:29)

I typed in Finland raccoon and it just keeps saying raccoon dog.

Joe Rogan (1:33)

Raccoon dog.

Tim Dillon (1:34)

See, in Finland they seem to be more tan.

Joe Rogan (1:37)

Yeah, that looks like your coat.

That doesn't look like a raccoon. If I saw that, I wouldn't say that's a raccoon. I'd be like, what is that?

Tim Dillon (1:44)

Yeah, I don't know what it is.

Joe Rogan (1:45)

It's kind of got a raccoon-y face. Scroll back up to those images.

That picture up there, that's a raccoon-y face, this cute creature. That's a raccoon-y face. But the color of it, I'd be like, what is that?

Jamie (1:58)

That one looks a little weird.

Joe Rogan (1:59)

That's weird. So they call them a raccoon dog?

Jamie (2:04)

I just typed in...

Joe Rogan (2:05)

Bro, you got a dog coat on.

Tim Dillon (2:07)

That's rough. I think I've got taken advantage of.

This was it. They kind of looked at each other a few times.

And this one didn't even have the liner in. They put the liner in. It's a very cheap liner.

They put the liner in. I just went in because I was curious about... I don't understand it. I get curious about different things. So these furriers in New York City, a lot of them will kick you out if you don't have an appointment. So one of them just said, we can't deal with you. You don't have an appointment, go. But then these two guys were nice enough to talk to me a little bit. I was just asking questions. I'm like, what's the deal? They're like, well, Sable is the top thing. And then they're like, obviously, Mink and Chinchilla and Fox.

Joe Rogan (2:55)

Could they make you a custom one?

Tim Dillon (2:59)

They could absolutely make a custom one. But I wanted something fun to come on here with. So I said, I don't really even want one of these.

So I just want to do like an impulse buy. Just give me something to buy.

Joe Rogan (3:10)

I don't want to think about this.

Tim Dillon (3:12)

And then the guy goes, we have a raccoon. I don't know what it is. It could be a costume.

Joe Rogan (3:16)

It might have been what the Patterson guy wore in the Bigfoot footage.

Tim Dillon (3:21)

I have no idea what it is, but it is a fun and it's got that hood. It's got a hood like if you were a rapper or something like this.

Joe Rogan (3:31)

Do you know Bill Blumenreit from Boston?

Bill had a mink coat once. He let me try it on. I was like, oh my God, it's so warm.

Tim Dillon (3:43)

It's amazing.

Joe Rogan (3:43)

There's a reason why people like them.

Tim Dillon (3:45)

But people get real mad.

Joe Rogan (3:47)

They don't like it.

You're allowed to wear leather. What is leather?

Tim Dillon (3:55)

Leather is everywhere.

Joe Rogan (3:56)

Everybody wears leather. Leather is just the fur removed.

Tim Dillon (4:00)

That's all it is. Crocodile scales.

Joe Rogan (4:03)

There's a company called Origin. One of the elk that I shot, we took the hide and had the hide shipped to them to turn into boots.
