The Joe Rogan Experience.

Joe Rogan (0:06)

Trained by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day. Mike Baker, what a good time to talk to you. What a fine time to have you in.

Mike Baker (0:17)

What a fine time.

Joe Rogan (0:18)

There's so much chaos. There's so much madness.

Mike Baker (0:21)

Oh my God.

Joe Rogan (0:22)

Did you see the South Park episode?

Mike Baker (0:24)

Which one?

Joe Rogan (0:25)

They did a Donald Trump one with Satan.

Mike Baker (0:28)

No.

Joe Rogan (0:29)

It's fucking hilarious.

Mike Baker (0:31)

I got it. I love the show. It's fantastic. I raised my three boys on that show, much to my wife's horror. But it's a great show, but I haven't seen that episode.

Joe Rogan (0:41)

When you think, like Bridget Phetasy had a funny quote, like when you think that they have reached the bottom of the highest level of not giving a fuck, they reach unseen levels. The whole Epstein thing is so crazy. And him saying, what do you care? Why does everybody care about Epstein?

Mike Baker (1:00)

Like, what? Well, that's it. Yeah, but it is, although again, going back to South Park, yeah, once they did the Woodland Creatures episode all those years ago, you thought, okay, that's gotta be the worst they can get.

Joe Rogan (1:11)

Which one was the Woodland Creatures one?

Mike Baker (1:13)

Oh my God, you gotta look it up. It's fantastic. I'm not gonna do it justice if I try to explain what it's about.

Joe Rogan (1:19)

Well, remember when they did the Gay Teacher where you had a whore off with Paris Hilton, and they stuffed her up his ass?

SPEAKER_5 (1:26)

This was the only one.

Joe Rogan (1:27)

The Woodland Creatures, they're all cussing and- Oh, that's right. Oh, I forgot about that one.

Mike Baker (1:31)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (1:32)

That was 17 years ago.

Mike Baker (1:34)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (1:34)

They don't give a fuck, dude.

Mike Baker (1:35)

No.

Joe Rogan (1:36)

They haven't given a fuck since the beginning, and it's the greatest show of all time.

Mike Baker (1:39)

Yeah. Honestly, if you said, what would be the best job that you could have imagined it would be being one of those two guys working on this show?

Joe Rogan (1:46)

Yeah, they're killing it.

Mike Baker (1:47)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (1:47)

And the thing is, like, it's so beautiful because they have cartoons, and you could do things with cartoons you could never do with real people. You can kill them, they can fuck each other, they could stick things up their ass.

Mike Baker (1:57)

Yep, cartoon gets that alien probe.

Joe Rogan (1:59)

Anything can happen, because, and it's also, they're not realistic cartoons, so it's like you're somehow or another detached from it.

Mike Baker (2:06)

Yep. No, they, and if they did a documentary one time, I don't know if you saw that, where they tracked the six days it takes them to make the show fit home. Okay.

Joe Rogan (2:15)

This Trump had been with Satan, Satan's back. Satan's upset at Trump, it's very funny.

Mike Baker (2:22)

Well, you remember the Satan and Diddy episode, all those, that was fantastic.

Joe Rogan (2:25)

I didn't see that one.

Mike Baker (2:26)

Oh, the Satan Diddy episode, and then they had the, the, they had the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, What was that? Mass murderers, and, no, this was, this was a few years back too. It was a Diddy party, and he, he wanted to, it's a long story, he wanted a Lamborghini cake, but, you know, it was like the devil wanted it, and they said, no, Diddy did it already, and it's, it's fantastic.

Joe Rogan (2:44)

Remember when they had the movie with Saddam Hussein? Saddam Hussein was in a gay relationship with Saddam Hussein? Oh, God.

Mike Baker (2:52)

We could spend the entire time, people are like, oh, they're gonna talk about this the whole time?

Joe Rogan (2:55)

But, yeah.

Joe Rogan (2:57)

The Epstein stuff is so crazy, because when Cash Patel was on here, and he was like, there's no, there's nothing, and I was like, what are you talking?

Mike Baker (3:05)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (3:05)

I didn't even know what to say. My thought was, and people are like, why didn't you push back more? My thought was like, I'm just gonna put this out there and let the internet do its work, because there's nothing I can, the guy's saying there's no tapes, there's no video, that doesn't make any sense. Everyone knows it doesn't make any sense. Let's just, and then he didn't know about the Michael Badden stuff, the autopsy stuff, where it showed that he had three broken bones in his neck, which never happens when you hang yourself. Even when you like leap from somewhere with a rope around your neck and it snaps your neck, you never have three broken bones.
