Joe Rogan Podcast, checking in.

The Joe Rogan Experience.

**Joe Rogan** (0:06)
Shrain by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day.

**Joe Rogan** (0:14)
He's having a good old time, I'm sure. He loves doing that. Just fucking...

**Shane Gillis** (0:18)
Which didn't piss me off.

**Joe Rogan** (0:20)
It pisses you off that he just checks out? What pisses you off?

**SPEAKER_6** (0:23)
I don't know.

**Joe Rogan** (0:25)
I love it. I love that he does it.

**Shane Gillis** (0:27)
No, it's just art. It's fun to...

**Joe Rogan** (0:28)
But the more successful he gets, the more dangerous it is. People know who you are, dude. You've been seen by millions of people. You can't pretend you're this anonymous backpacker anymore. You're fucking weirdo.

**Shane Gillis** (0:41)
He comes back. My favorite was a couple years ago, when he came back from Peru, we were doing Legion of Skanks, and he was in the crowd and thought it was going to be a big surprise that he's back. He came back and we were like, Oh, what's up? R is here.

**Joe Rogan** (0:54)
What are you talking about?

**Shane Gillis** (0:55)
He was like, you haven't seen me in so long. I don't see any of my friends.

**Joe Rogan** (0:57)
Yeah, you were saying I see everybody every six months.

**Shane Gillis** (1:00)
I forgot you left.

**Joe Rogan** (1:01)
Right. I only see Norman every six months, maybe a little more when we get popping with Protect Our Parks.

**Shane Gillis** (1:09)
It's not the same without them.

**Joe Rogan** (1:10)
I know it's not.

**Shane Gillis** (1:13)
I'm still going to get drunk, but.

**Joe Rogan** (1:14)
It's a little sad, though.

**SPEAKER_6** (1:16)
It's a little more pathetic.

**Shane Gillis** (1:17)
I'm drinking by myself.

**Joe Rogan** (1:21)
It's a little more sad. I've had a few drinks. I had a whiskey before a show recently. I had a couple of glasses of wine with dinner the other day, but it's the most I've had is two. But the days of like drinking at night.

**Shane Gillis** (1:35)
I thought I had you last time we had the mothership.

**Joe Rogan** (1:37)
The problem is health. I'm too interested in health. I know that's the problem. It's like the price you pay is legitimate.

**Shane Gillis** (1:47)
Yeah.

**Joe Rogan** (1:47)
And I'm too interested in health. You know, I do too much to stay healthy.

**Shane Gillis** (1:53)
You work too hard, dude.

**SPEAKER_8** (1:54)
I'm getting old, dude, right?

**Joe Rogan** (1:56)
I'm 58 The reality is, like, when was the last time you saw a really fit 78-year-old guy? 78 years, for me, is not that far.

**Shane Gillis** (2:07)
Trump's jacked.

**Joe Rogan** (2:09)
Bro, that's 2005, okay? 2005, when I was still doing Fear Factor. That's 20 years ago. That's nothing. That's like that. Time just flies by. All of a sudden, you're 78

**SPEAKER_6** (2:22)
Yeah.

**Joe Rogan** (2:24)
Exactly.

**SPEAKER_6** (2:24)
Damn.

**Joe Rogan** (2:25)
Yeah, exactly. How old are you now?

**Shane Gillis** (2:28)
I just turned 38

**Joe Rogan** (2:29)
Yeah, see? So think of that.

**SPEAKER_2** (2:31)
Yeah.

**Joe Rogan** (2:32)
That's 20 years difference. You to me is 20 years. But me to like a dead guy is 20 years. 78 year old guy is a dead guy.

**SPEAKER_6** (2:41)
Yeah, there's the difference.

**Joe Rogan** (2:42)
So I've been consciously thinking about that, like don't let it get away from you. That's the thing. Don't let it get away from you. Like look at Jelly Roll.

**SPEAKER_9** (2:54)
Yeah.

**Joe Rogan** (2:55)
Fucking insane. Incredible.

**SPEAKER_9** (2:57)
Yeah.

**Joe Rogan** (2:58)
That dude just added decades onto his life.

**SPEAKER_9** (3:00)
Oh, for sure.

**Joe Rogan** (3:01)
Decades. He was on his way out.

**Shane Gillis** (3:02)
He was close.

**Joe Rogan** (3:04)
He was on his way out.

**Shane Gillis** (3:04)
Yeah.

**Joe Rogan** (3:05)
40, 500

**Shane Gillis** (3:06)
Same talent?

**Joe Rogan** (3:06)
40 pounds. Yeah.

**Shane Gillis** (3:07)
Same talent. Dropped it too.

**Joe Rogan** (3:09)
Did he?

**Shane Gillis** (3:09)
Yeah.

**Joe Rogan** (3:10)
How much did he drop?

**Shane Gillis** (3:10)
Fucking ton. Oh, no shit. I haven't seen him. Well, I think he did. I don't want to speak for him. I think he took one of the things. Like it was everything.

**SPEAKER_8** (3:17)
Fine, man.

**Shane Gillis** (3:18)
And I was like, man.

**SPEAKER_8** (3:18)
And whatever you need to do, just what are you doing?

**Shane Gillis** (3:21)
And he was like, I was going to die. I was like, all right, fair.

**SPEAKER_8** (3:24)
Yeah.

**Joe Rogan** (3:25)
You get too big and then he probably has sleep apnea, so he ain't getting any sleep. So at night he's choking, you know, and you're lying in bed in these weird hotel rooms.
