Jamie (0:13)

What's up, Sal?

Sal Vulcano (0:14)

What's up, brother? How you doing?

Joe Rogan (0:15)

What's cracking?

Sal Vulcano (0:16)

Nothing. Thanks for having me, man.

Joe Rogan (0:17)

My pleasure. What are you doing out here, man? What are you doing in Austin, Texas?

Sal Vulcano (0:21)

I got a... my special comes out today, actually. Yeah, special called Terrified.

Joe Rogan (0:26)

What's it on?

Sal Vulcano (0:27)

YouTube.

Joe Rogan (0:27)

That's the move.

Sal Vulcano (0:28)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (0:29)

Yeah, I'm very happy when guys do that. It makes it easily accessible. It's the best thing for distributing your stuff.

People share it easy.

Sal Vulcano (0:37)

It's nice that that's a good option now, because when everybody turns you down...

Joe Rogan (0:43)

It's a great option.

Sal Vulcano (0:44)

It's still like, well, I've still got a good option.

Joe Rogan (0:46)

I would think about it even if I had other options. At this point, right? Because I think it's like the best distribution plot, as long as they don't fucking censor you, which is a little bit of an issue.

They're owned by Google, and it's just like whenever you're dealing with these giant corporations and there's all these fucking woke kids working for them, it's a lot of sketchy things happen.

Sal Vulcano (1:05)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (1:05)

But as far as a platform, it's the best.

Sal Vulcano (1:07)

It's great, right?

Joe Rogan (1:08)

Oh, it's so good.

Sal Vulcano (1:10)

I don't really like, I'm not edgy like that, so I don't really have anything. My edgiest stuff is not that edgy.

Joe Rogan (1:14)

That's good.

Sal Vulcano (1:15)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (1:15)

Yeah, that's lucky. Yeah, because Ari Shaffir, when he was putting his out, I was like, sure.

Sal Vulcano (1:21)

He executive produced it.

Joe Rogan (1:22)

Oh, he executive produced yours?

Sal Vulcano (1:23)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (1:24)

Oh, that's nice.

Sal Vulcano (1:24)

Yeah, he's a really tight.

Joe Rogan (1:26)

Yeah, someone we were just talking about, someone gave him shit for releasing his on YouTube. I'm like, you're so short-sighted. That's so stupid.

Sal Vulcano (1:32)

I look at it now.

Joe Rogan (1:33)

Yeah, it's fucking huge. What does it have, like seven million downloads or something like that? Yeah, people are stupid, man. They just have this silly idea of like these gatekeepers, these fucking institutions, which, you know, look, you got a Netflix special. It's great. Like the Tom Brody roast, great. I'm happy Netflix is doing cool shit like that. It's awesome.

Sal Vulcano (1:51)

But you watch it through three hours?

Joe Rogan (1:53)

No.

I watched Tony Hinchcliffe's set and Andrew Schultz's set. That's it.

Sal Vulcano (1:56)

See Nicky's?

Joe Rogan (1:57)

I heard Nicky's was awesome. I heard Nicky killed it.

Sal Vulcano (2:00)

Yeah, she killed it.

Joe Rogan (2:01)

She goes hard.

Sal Vulcano (2:02)

Yeah, Tony, she does it. She kills those roasts, man. She kills those roasts.

Joe Rogan (2:07)

She's really good at roasts. She's strong. She's got strong delivery, you know, she's got, and even like when she was shitting on Jeff Ross, I did see that part when she was apologizing to him while she was shitting on him, which is so Nicky Grazer.

She's so sweet.

Sal Vulcano (2:24)

That Hengshilfe one with the liver king, you look like the, I don't want to fuck it up, but the liver king and the tiger king had a baby that looked like Martin Luther King. Got beat up by Rodney King. And bit by Lion King and some shit like that.

It was a ride.

Joe Rogan (2:46)

It was such a ride.

Sal Vulcano (2:48)

By the time he finished it, it was just like, by the time, if he was one king shorter, I didn't think it would hit as well. But that king was the perfect, it was five kings, I think.

Joe Rogan (2:56)

It was a monster bit. And then the other one with Jeff is so Jewish, he only watches football for the coin toss. I fucking love a roast. I love a good roast joke.

Sal Vulcano (3:09)

You know what's so funny? It's like, you know, the Jewish, it's like, you know, where you go with Jeff or, you know, or Jewish or whatever, but it's like, you still, it's still like, I still find a new way to be like, you watch it over the coin toss. You know what I mean? It's like, you can tell that joke a million ways, but you still, I'm still like, oh my God, that's such a good way to tell it.

Joe Rogan (3:26)

It's just, it's, I think people have relaxed more with comedy over the last year or so for whatever reason, culturally.
