Joe Rogan (0:14)

Good to see ya.

Colion Noir (0:14)

Good to be back.

Joe Rogan (0:15)

We had a full Texas day today. Full Texas.

Colion Noir (0:18)

Doesn't get more Texas than that.

Joe Rogan (0:20)

Shotguns, ate barbecue.

Went to a staccato range. How sick is that place?

Colion Noir (0:24)

Damn, dude, you should've, like... I remember when I first went there— like, I called it The Ghetto, We're at the ghetto, because that's what we do, but there was nothing there.

Joe Rogan (0:31)

Just dirt.

Colion Noir (0:32)

Just dirt, and they had some bays and stuff like that, too. And me and my videographer, we did some shooting out there, and we filmed, but it was nothing like it is now. Now it looks like an entire little village of guns.

Joe Rogan (0:43)

They're dumping a ton of money to that place.

Colion Noir (0:46)

Dude, when we were going around, he was showing us the whole property. I don't know if you saw my face, I was like, what the fuck?

Joe Rogan (0:54)

I know, it must be a lot of money and selling really good guns.

Colion Noir (0:56)

Yeah, yeah, to say the least.

Joe Rogan (0:59)

Like the lake? Like you guys have a lake?

Why'd you build a lake? He's like, we're gonna have a lake.

Colion Noir (1:04)

I'm not gonna lie, there's something about water. If I ever bought property, like if I just get over this whole I have to be in the city shit, like I bought property, I'd want some body of water.

Joe Rogan (1:15)

Explain to me the I have to be in the city.

Colion Noir (1:18)

I'm just a city rat. I like-

Joe Rogan (1:20)

You just always like it.

Colion Noir (1:21)

Yeah, just the buzz and the energy of the city is something that I just, it's in me. So it's like, I can still, like every year I'll go out to Utah and go and do all of the eat, love, pray shit. And then-

Yeah, I gotta come back to the streets.

Joe Rogan (1:38)

That's crazy. I like staying in cities. When I stay in New York City, I'm there for a weekend. But by the time Sunday rolls around, I'm like, all right, get me the fuck out of here. I don't like it. I've never liked it. Even when I lived in New York, I didn't live in the city. I lived in the suburbs.

But that was because I couldn't afford it. I couldn't afford an apartment that had parking in New York City.

And I have to do the road. I travel a lot to do stand up. I have to be able to drive to gigs. So I was driving to Connecticut and New Jersey. And just to get a parking spot, I forget how much it cost back then. This is the 90s, but it was out of my budget.

Colion Noir (2:13)

I'm honestly like, I love cities. So anytime I go to a city, if I travel to a different state I've never been to before, I always want to stay in the city and I always go to their downtowns.

New York is one of the places that I genuinely do not like. Really? No, I don't know what it is. I genuinely did not like it, which is weird because I like big cities. But for something about New York, I was just kind of like, meh.

Joe Rogan (2:37)

Really?

Colion Noir (2:37)

I don't, dude.

Joe Rogan (2:38)

That doesn't make any sense because it's the most city city.

Colion Noir (2:41)

I wish I could articulate it.

Joe Rogan (2:42)

But just the feeling is not interesting.

Colion Noir (2:45)

And it wasn't even like during a weird time. Like I didn't go like during COVID or anything like that. It was pretty normal time.

Joe Rogan (2:52)

During COVID, they made some weird law in New York City where you're allowed to eat outside.

So they built indoor places outside. So they basically built like these like, there were like little trailers that they set up outside and they put, you know, dining tables in and nice lighting and shit.

Colion Noir (3:10)

I've seen this one.

Joe Rogan (3:12)

Yeah, New York City drivers will have to pay $15 to ride through Manhattan. Yeah.

Colion Noir (3:18)

I did not know that.

Joe Rogan (3:19)

You have to pay money to drive to the city.

Colion Noir (3:22)

Oh, this is new. Yeah.

Joe Rogan (3:24)

They're out of money.

Colion Noir (3:25)

Yeah, well, yeah. This is what happens when you make stupid policy decisions.
