#2112 - Dan Soder

Joe Rogan (0:15)

I forgot how good a weed you have.

Dan Soder (0:18)

This is Cal Williams weed.

Joe Rogan (0:19)

Is that really? Oh shit, I'm gonna start talking shit on everyone in the business.

SPEAKER_3 (0:23)

And that ain't never been a day that Shane Gillis ain't never texted me, you're gay, always calling me gay.

Dan Soder (0:31)

Oh, we had Cat Williams ride the racing simulator, and I filmed it and put some of it up on Instagram, but he's like, this is how he drives.

SPEAKER_3 (0:40)

This is a normal thing. He does this because he does this in real life.

Joe Rogan (0:44)

Yeah, I would love for Cat Williams to be the voice of my self-hate.

SPEAKER_3 (0:48)

He's like, you ain't never gonna be nothing, baby. You suck.

Joe Rogan (0:52)

It's like I know Cat.

Dan Soder (0:53)

Just to wake you up every day and get you to go to work.

Joe Rogan (0:57)

Yeah, he's the new David Goggins. He's like, pain is good.

SPEAKER_3 (1:01)

Feel everything bad, Pimpin. I'm out here golfing in $5,000 sneakers.

Joe Rogan (1:06)

Dude, the books thing is still the funniest shit in the world.

Dan Soder (1:09)

Bro, he doubled down and then some.

Joe Rogan (1:11)

Respect. Doubling down on a crazy shit is fucking hilarious.

Dan Soder (1:15)

He was saying, I went to the library, and I got 20 books at a time, because that's all they would let you get, and I would be there three times a week.

Oftentimes, I'd be reading eight books simultaneously, because I have the original book, and then I have books annotated. I love it.

Joe Rogan (1:32)

The idea that a librarian sees him coming and gets nervous.

They're like, no, no. Lock the doors here.

Dan Soder (1:39)

Only 20

Joe Rogan (1:40)

Only 20

Dan Soder (1:40)

Only 20 books at a time.

SPEAKER_3 (1:41)

I need to read 30 books today.

Joe Rogan (1:43)

What was he saying? A week? How many?

Dan Soder (1:46)

I don't give a fuck what he said. He's a gem. That guy's a gem. I love him.

I was so happy that I got him to come on the podcast, because he was like, Joe Rogan don't want me on this podcast. I do, though.

I fucking love that guy. I've always sung his praises.

Joe Rogan (2:00)

When you heard him say that, did you talk back to the interviewer? You were like, but I do want you on.

Dan Soder (2:05)

No, I immediately went on Twitter. I immediately went on Twitter, and I said, dude, I love that guy.

Let's go.

SPEAKER_3 (2:12)

I just never met him.

Dan Soder (2:14)

I never met him until yesterday.

Joe Rogan (2:15)

I've never met him.

Dan Soder (2:16)

So it's just like we passed each other in the night at the store. I just never was there when he was there. And he was already a big giant theater act by then. And now he's an arena act. I just never met him. That's all it was. It's hard to meet arena acts.

Unless it's Chappelle, who still goes to the clubs.

I asked him to do the club. You want to do a spot at the club? He goes, I'm an arena act.

Joe Rogan (2:42)

Just to clarify, with someone like that.

Dan Soder (2:44)

I do arenas too. The club is amazing.

SPEAKER_3 (2:48)

Can't. Not enough people.

Dan Soder (2:51)

I think he genuinely doesn't enjoy being in tight crowds like that. I think he's uncomfortable. And I told him, you got too famous.

And he was like, you got too famous.

Joe Rogan (3:02)

I mean, he's been doing arenas for over 10 years now, probably. And then theaters the whole time.

Dan Soder (3:08)

Well, Pimp Chronicles was when? When was Pimp Chronicles?

Joe Rogan (3:11)

I'm going to guess. I mean, I know Jamie's going to look it up. I'm going to guess 02, 3

Dan Soder (3:16)

Somewhere around then. I watched that in the gym yesterday before I came to do the podcast.

Joe Rogan (3:21)

It's one of the greatest stand up specials of all time.

Dan Soder (3:23)

It's fucking amazing.

Joe Rogan (3:25)

The amount of...

Dan Soder (3:26)

The energy he has.

Joe Rogan (3:27)

It's like up there with the energy of Chris Rock, Bring The Pain, where it's like yell laughter.

Dan Soder (3:34)

But it's his own flavor.

Joe Rogan (3:36)

He's the best, dude.

Dan Soder (3:36)

It's his own flavor of comedy. Like his flavor of comedy is uniquely Cat Williams. Like the way he can repeat things and they become funnier. Who can fucking repeat a line and it becomes funnier?
