The Joe Rogan Experience.

Harland Williams (0:06)

Trained by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day.

Joe Rogan (0:13)

Dmitri was here when Donald Trump was here.

SPEAKER_3 (0:16)

Wow, that made my day.

Joe Rogan (0:17)

It was important. Doesn't matter what side.

SPEAKER_3 (0:19)

It doesn't?

Joe Rogan (0:20)

No.

SPEAKER_3 (0:21)

There we go. Wow, these are nice.

Joe Rogan (0:24)

Dmitri the snake.

SPEAKER_3 (0:26)

Yeah, tapeworm.

Joe Rogan (0:26)

There he is. Oh, that's right.

SPEAKER_3 (0:28)

Tapeworm, yeah.

Joe Rogan (0:29)

What's going on with your face? What are you doing?

SPEAKER_3 (0:32)

Ah, this is a tight one for me today, guy.

Joe Rogan (0:38)

What?

SPEAKER_3 (0:41)

I'm feeling ripe.

Joe Rogan (0:43)

What is that?

SPEAKER_3 (0:44)

It's a...

Joe Rogan (0:44)

Does it say, it says Betty?

SPEAKER_3 (0:46)

Billy.

Joe Rogan (0:47)

Billy. Oh, B-I.

SPEAKER_3 (0:49)

L-L-Y. Oh, okay. It's a, whew. It's a memorial tattoo. I don't know if you knew this or not, but.

My kid got hit by a truck.

Joe Rogan (1:10)

When did you have a kid?

SPEAKER_3 (1:12)

About two years ago. I haven't told anyone. I was ashamed. It was a one-night stand.

Kid.

Joe Rogan (1:25)

Is it a human kid?

SPEAKER_3 (1:26)

Yeah. Billy.

Joe Rogan (1:33)

You get hit by a truck?

SPEAKER_3 (1:34)

Got hit by a truck.

Joe Rogan (1:36)

Was he just walking?

SPEAKER_3 (1:37)

Well, someone, and I won't say who, left the gate open and he wandered out into the street. And boom, like hit by an 18-wheeler.

And this is like a memorial.

Joe Rogan (1:54)

So you got Billy tattooed on your forehead.

SPEAKER_3 (1:57)

I have two tattoos. I got Billy on my forehead and I got a tattoo of his little face over my heart.

Joe Rogan (2:03)

Let me see it.

SPEAKER_3 (2:05)

Really?

Joe Rogan (2:05)

Yeah.

SPEAKER_3 (2:07)

God.

Joe Rogan (2:09)

First of all, what happened to the one when you were attacked by the bear?

SPEAKER_3 (2:13)

That healed up. This is Billy.

Joe Rogan (2:18)

Billy Goat.

SPEAKER_3 (2:19)

He's a kid.

Joe Rogan (2:20)

Billy the Kid?

SPEAKER_3 (2:21)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (2:21)

Yeah.

SPEAKER_3 (2:23)

Poor little guy.

Joe Rogan (2:24)

Poor little guy.

SPEAKER_3 (2:25)

He was a service animal.

Joe Rogan (2:27)

I thought he was your son.

SPEAKER_3 (2:29)

Well he was my boy. He was a kid.

Joe Rogan (2:32)

But you said he got him out of a one night stand.

SPEAKER_3 (2:33)

Well the girl sold him to me. He was a service animal.

Yeah. It sucks, dude. And you know what sucks? He was hit by a truck that was hauling medical supplies. Okay.

Joe Rogan (2:49)

How ironic.

SPEAKER_3 (2:50)

Right. He's laying there. And to watch your kid bleat to death, he's just laying on the pavement like just bleeding to death.

Joe Rogan (3:05)

Amazing. He was still alive.

SPEAKER_3 (3:06)

Well, I couldn't believe it. He was alive and a respirator rolled out of the back of the truck, a life-saving device, and crushed his head.

Joe Rogan (3:17)

So he was killed not by the truck, but by the final blow of the respirator landing on him?

SPEAKER_3 (3:22)

Right. So the irony...

Joe Rogan (3:23)

What are the odds?

SPEAKER_3 (3:24)

Well, this is the irony in life, Joe. Like he got hit by the truck, might have survived. A respirator rolled out of the back. These things weigh a good half ton.

Lands on the kid's face and gone.

Joe Rogan (3:41)

Poor Billy.

SPEAKER_3 (3:42)

So memorial tattoos.

Joe Rogan (3:44)

Well, you're a good guy.

SPEAKER_3 (3:47)

I would have ate him. Is that right?

Joe Rogan (3:49)

Yeah.

SPEAKER_3 (3:50)

How does goat taste? I haven't had it.

Joe Rogan (3:52)

It's pretty good.

SPEAKER_3 (3:52)

Wait. You have?

Harland Williams (3:54)

Sure.

Joe Rogan (3:55)

First time I ever had it was in LA at a Mexican spot. They were selling goat tacos. They were delicious.

SPEAKER_3 (4:00)

Oh, my God.

Harland Williams (4:01)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (4:01)

And then I had a neighbor. Well, not a neighbor. He's a landscaper.

There was a friend of mine that would he would fight chickens. They do chicken fights.

SPEAKER_3 (4:10)

Cock fights.

Joe Rogan (4:11)

Yeah. Yeah, I've had those trying to be polite, cleaning up for the viewers.

Chicken, chicken fights.

SPEAKER_3 (4:17)

Cock is kind of the technical names wrong. Yeah.

Joe Rogan (4:21)

And you're saying that.

SPEAKER_3 (4:23)

Have you ever?

Joe Rogan (4:24)

I don't like how you're saying it. But anyway, they would roast a goat. He told me whenever they would do a cock fight.
