The Joe Rogan Experience.

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

**Whitney Cummings** (0:12)
So that's just for dice to hold?

**Joe Rogan** (0:15)
Yeah, he just holds on to them. Oh! And he holds on to them, and then he swaps them out for a new one.

**Whitney Cummings** (0:22)
Was the unlit cigarette like the original fidget spinner?

**Joe Rogan** (0:28)
Well, most people don't do it, because most people, when they have a cigarette in their hand, they want to light it. But dice has got the ability to just hold on to the cigarette.

**Whitney Cummings** (0:38)
Do you remember when candy cigarettes were a toy for kids?

**Joe Rogan** (0:41)
Yeah, I had those. Oh, yeah, they were priming you.

**Whitney Cummings** (0:45)
Totally, and they would poof, like sugar would come out.

**Joe Rogan** (0:48)
No, I don't remember that.

**Whitney Cummings** (0:49)
Oh, yeah, you'd go, and like powder sugar would come out. Really? Yeah. Am I right, Jamie? Am I making that up?

**Joe Rogan** (0:54)
I remember them just being like a candy that you suck on.

**Whitney Cummings** (0:56)
Or was that just the cocaine my parents put on it?

**Joe Rogan** (0:58)
Yeah, it was just a candy stick. Nasty chalk stick. Maybe there was a different one. Maybe there's more than one kind of candy cigarette.

**Whitney Cummings** (1:05)
Couldn't you, there was like gummy cigars, I remember, and then the candy cigarettes. That must have been them just trying to get you addicted to just like the motion of it, or like participate with your parents or something.

**Joe Rogan** (1:17)
Yeah, it was just a way to sell candy, but probably also engineered by the tobacco companies. That was back when they were lying about cigarettes being addictive too and causing cancer.

**Whitney Cummings** (1:27)
Well, they used to prescribe it to pregnant women, right?

**Joe Rogan** (1:29)
They used to prescribe it for kids with asthma. Yeah, you need to strengthen those lungs, that fella.

**Whitney Cummings** (1:36)
And this is my favorite thing. Did they know? They already knew.

**Jamie** (1:41)
Yeah, they already knew.

**Whitney Cummings** (1:41)
They already knew.

**Joe Rogan** (1:43)
Everybody had to know. You smoke cigarettes for a while, you start coughing up black shit, you feel terrible.

**Jamie** (1:47)
According to the internet, this pack did have some sort of would blow smoke according to this person on Facebook. But I didn't remember a play lighter or a lighter battery, so.

**Joe Rogan** (1:59)
A battery?

**Whitney Cummings** (2:00)
I don't know what that is. Smoke that would suck on this battery.

**Joe Rogan** (2:03)
What the fuck?

**Whitney Cummings** (2:05)
As kids, we would suck on actual batteries.

**Joe Rogan** (2:07)
Oh yeah, remember when you lick them?

**Joe Rogan** (2:08)
Dude, we would just try to like, just the square one.

**Joe Rogan** (2:12)
Yeah, the nine volts.

**Whitney Cummings** (2:13)
We'd be at school just like lick it, lick it, lick it.

**Joe Rogan** (2:15)
Yeah, we would lick it just to get a jolt in your tongue.

**Whitney Cummings** (2:18)
It is wild how like, yes, the phones are obviously very bad for kids, but when you think about the stuff we did as kids, I was just like, I would just hang out with a light socket for like two hours. It's all I needed, a paper clip, light socket. Like, it's a mirror.

**Joe Rogan** (2:30)
Light socket.

**Whitney Cummings** (2:31)
Or like a, yeah, the, the, the.

**Joe Rogan** (2:33)
Electric socket?

**Whitney Cummings** (2:34)
Electric socket.

**Joe Rogan** (2:35)
You would go into an electric socket with a paper clip?

**Whitney Cummings** (2:38)
Did no one else do this?

**Joe Rogan** (2:40)
That's really bad.

**Whitney Cummings** (2:41)
Did you inhale glue or no?

**Joe Rogan** (2:43)
Oh, I sniffed it.

**Whitney Cummings** (2:43)
Rubber cement? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm like, okay.

**Joe Rogan** (2:45)
Oh, I used to love making models. I used to make like Godzilla models. Remember those models? Oh, with glue? Yeah. You had rubber cement glue? Yeah.

**Whitney Cummings** (2:53)
Yeah, yeah.
In Elmer's too. You could peel it off your skin. We just put it on our skin and just peel it off.

**Jamie** (2:58)
Oh, yeah.

**Whitney Cummings** (2:59)
Just like a leprosy fetish or something?

**Jamie** (3:01)
Yeah.

**Joe Rogan** (3:02)
Well, the rubber cement glue was a big one though. A lot of people sniff glue.

**Whitney Cummings** (3:07)
We used to have a glue gun. My mom had a glue gun.

**Joe Rogan** (3:10)
For what?

**Whitney Cummings** (3:11)
It's like a hot glue gun to crafts, arts, crafts. Okay. Kill men. I don't know. When you look back at shit your parents did, you're like, what was that?
