The Joe Rogan Experience. Shred my day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day.

Fuck it. It's working so far.

Joe Rogan (0:17)

Right?

Billy Bob Thornton (0:18)

Right?

Joe Rogan (0:18)

I told my wife the other day, I said, if I live to 85, I'm going to go to Long John Silver's every day for lunch. I'm just going to eat shit that like everything that I dream of right now that I can't eat. I'm going to eat all of it. I'm going to drink whiskey all day long and just eat everything I want.

Billy Bob Thornton (0:36)

Yeah. Fuck it. You're at the end of the ride.

Joe Rogan (0:38)

Yeah.

Billy Bob Thornton (0:38)

Unless that's the problem is like on your deathbed, they come up with some new shit that fixes everything.

Joe Rogan (0:44)

Oh, I know. Right? That'll be my luck.

Billy Bob Thornton (0:46)

New stem cell stuff that regenerates every cell in your body to a 25-year-old like, oh.

Joe Rogan (0:52)

Exactly. I know.

Billy Bob Thornton (0:54)

That'd be a real problem. Like a 70-year-old brain and a 25-year-old body. Like, you would have a lot of knowledge.

Joe Rogan (0:59)

For sure.

Billy Bob Thornton (0:59)

You'd have a giant advantage.

Joe Rogan (1:01)

Oh, yeah. I fantasize about stuff like that. I fantasize about being able to, like I imagine, you know, like my version of heaven. It would be like, if I could go back to when I'm 12 years old, live through junior high and high school again.

Billy Bob Thornton (1:19)

Oh, you'd be the king.

Joe Rogan (1:20)

And have the knowledge I have now and just I would know exactly how to navigate everything. Yeah.

Billy Bob Thornton (1:28)

Yeah. It's but that's the fun of growing up and the not so fun of growing up.

Joe Rogan (1:35)

Sure.

Billy Bob Thornton (1:35)

Because you don't know what the fuck is going on and you're so confused and then you get older and you go, man, if I could just go back, I'd fucking kill it.

Joe Rogan (1:43)

I think about it all the time.

Billy Bob Thornton (1:44)

You know, your lovely coma host, co-star rather, Demi Moore, that movie that she did, The Substance, is fucking crazy. That's a great piece on this whole fear of aging thing.

Joe Rogan (1:59)

Right.

Billy Bob Thornton (2:00)

That movie is wild.

Joe Rogan (2:02)

Oh, yeah.

Billy Bob Thornton (2:03)

It's so crazy. But it's like, you know how many women would agree to that deal? If it was a real, it was realistic enough, where you're watching, like, I know a lot of ladies who would agree to that. I know a lot of ladies.

Joe Rogan (2:18)

Have you seen that South Park episode where they, it was about that type of thing, but it was about how they have all these apps that you can make yourself look better in? You know, I mean, it's like, it can make you look, filters that make you look younger and all this kind of stuff. And they have this episode about that where like all these girls who aren't like the hot girls, but their Instagram stuff, they are. And they actually start to think. And so all the guys start going for these girls, even though when they're in front of them, they're not like that, but that's what they look like on there. And yeah, it's pretty crazy.

Billy Bob Thornton (3:02)

It's probably accurate too. As long as a couple people start doing it, a couple of guys start going for those girls, then everybody else will as well, which is most of our world. Most of our world is some fucking idiot decides bell bottoms look good. And then we're all like, shit, I gotta get bell bottoms. I wanna get laid. I wanna be cool.

Joe Rogan (3:24)

I had bell bottoms when I, because I was playing in bands and stuff, so whatever was trendy, we wore that stuff. I can remember those bell bottoms that were so big, you couldn't see your shoes. It just looked like a pair of jeans walking down the street.

It was so dumb looking.

Billy Bob Thornton (3:45)

It's a crazy thing that lasted for a little while to regular jeans. So many invented that shit like the 1800s. Everybody's like, yeah, you nailed it.

Joe Rogan (3:55)

Yeah.

Billy Bob Thornton (3:55)

It's like a Jeep. A Jeep still looks like a Jeep. They made a Jeep in like the 1950s.

They made a Jeep in 2026 You can see the difference. It's like, it's a little bit more advanced, but that's a Jeep.
