Joe Rogan (0:04)

The Joe Rogan Experience. Trained by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day.

Ari Shaffir (0:16)

So much shit to talk about. You see that wild shit that's going on in Scotland, where they're targeting comedians for hate crime laws?

He got in trouble for making his dog do a Hitler.

Mark Normand (0:36)

He trained his dog to go holler, then he would just do it to fuck with his girlfriend.

Shane Gillis (0:39)

German Shepherd.

SPEAKER_6 (0:40)

You got in trouble for that?

Ari Shaffir (0:41)

No, it was a little pug. It was a cute little pug.

Shane Gillis (0:44)

Pull it up.

Ari Shaffir (0:45)

I think he got arrested.

SPEAKER_6 (0:45)

I've done that one in my whole life.

Joe Rogan (0:47)

They brought him to fucking jail.

SPEAKER_5 (0:49)

You get in trouble for that? I do that every time I see a dog.

Mark Normand (0:51)

I did it with my friend's kid.

SPEAKER_5 (0:53)

Push his elbow and he does it.

Ari Shaffir (0:54)

Oh, really? Please, Scotland, we won't target comedians under new hate crime law. That's what you say now. But stand-up shows still come under its scope.

Jesus Christ, Scotland, you have one of the biggest fucking comedy festivals on earth every year. It's a huge comedy festival.

Shane Gillis (1:13)

But they're pretty queefy over there. They will be.

Mark Normand (1:15)

They'll just queef it up.

Ari Shaffir (1:16)

But this is so queefy.

Mark Normand (1:17)

Hate crime?

SPEAKER_5 (1:18)

Age, disability, religion, sexual orientation. Fuck my whole life.

Joe Rogan (1:21)

Yeah, everyone's whole life.

Ari Shaffir (1:23)

Yeah, I was gonna say Marat's whole life.

Mark Normand (1:24)

Storing up hatred on certain grounds.

Ari Shaffir (1:26)

It's everybody's act.

Mark Normand (1:28)

Sexual orientation, yeah.

Shane Gillis (1:29)

What?

These are just things that exist. You gotta talk about age.

Ari Shaffir (1:36)

This is so ridiculous.

Shane Gillis (1:40)

Wow, Scotland got weird.

Mark Normand (1:41)

Is that a real thing? No way.

Ari Shaffir (1:42)

The training material is based on Scottish government's explanatory notes which accompany the legislation. This included examples of a range of scenarios where offenses might take place, but this does not mean officers have been told to target these situations or locations.

Mark Normand (1:58)

But they can if they want.

Ari Shaffir (1:59)

Yeah, but if they can't if they want.

Mark Normand (2:00)

Dude, the mug shots from this are going to be hilarious. Yeah, every comic handing it up, getting arrested for an AIDS joke.

Ari Shaffir (2:08)

What's been explained to me by my friends in the UK, specifically Francis Foster from Trigonometry, he's awesome. He was telling me that this government is on the way out and that they're out of their fucking minds.

And so it's like every fucking generation goes this way and then that way. This way and they go too far left and they go too far right.

And so these fucking kooks have decided they're gonna target people and put them in jail. Did you hear what happened in Belgium? The dude got a year in jail for memes that were shared. Memes that they shared in a private chat.

Mark Normand (2:46)

No, what?

Ari Shaffir (2:48)

Yes, they gave him a year.

SPEAKER_7 (2:51)

We saw the memes.

Ari Shaffir (2:52)

The memes are nothing.

Mark Normand (2:53)

Wait, we saw the memes?

Ari Shaffir (2:54)

Yeah, you can see the memes. The memes are online.

Mark Normand (2:57)

They're not that funny?

Ari Shaffir (2:58)

No, one of them was like a Hitler one that was like anti-Hitler. It was like an anti-Nazi meme.

And this is one of the ones that was cited as being one of the offenses. It's in a fucking private chat.

SPEAKER_7 (3:12)

Imagine if our protectors are.

Mark Normand (3:13)

How did they get in? Before the show started, the conversation's cut out.

Ari Shaffir (3:17)

We should delete our data right now.

SPEAKER_5 (3:19)

I think we should have a mass delete.

Mark Normand (3:22)

Three, two, one, go.

SPEAKER_6 (3:25)

Turn the keys.

Ari Shaffir (3:27)

Yeah.

Shane Gillis (3:28)

Oh man.

Ari Shaffir (3:29)

The podcast alone.

SPEAKER_5 (3:30)

Yeah, this is worse than the group chat. By the end of this episode, it'll be worse than.

Shane Gillis (3:34)

You think?

SPEAKER_6 (3:34)

That's how it always goes.

Ari Shaffir (3:35)

You gotta see this.

Mark Normand (3:37)

The group chat is like, look at this kid falling.

Shane Gillis (3:39)

I don't remember most of the back half.

Ari Shaffir (3:40)

You gotta see this Belgium story and realize this fucking dumb shit is happening in 2024 with the internet. 2024
