**Joe Rogan** (0:03)
The Joe Rogan Experience.

**Tim Dillon** (0:06)
Trained by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day. I was smoking, my father said that to me, he goes, you know what's a good thing about you? You never smoked them down to the filter.

**Joe Rogan** (0:16)
What a good kid.

**Tim Dillon** (0:18)
What a great family. What a great family.

**Joe Rogan** (0:22)
My sister smoked when we were in high school. I was like, God, why are you smoking? It's so stupid. Yeah. Then I had to do a play once with Adam Ferrara and a couple of people.
I was supposed to play this, something that a bunch of comics wrote, funny little sketch thing. I was supposed to play this tortured liberal arts student, and I was smoking cigarettes. They wanted me to smoke cigarettes while I was doing it. So I smoked like 15 fucking cigarettes while we were doing it. I threw up, I had a fucking horrible headache. I was like, Oh my God, I'm so high.

**Tim Dillon** (0:50)
Wow.

**Joe Rogan** (0:51)
My arms don't move right. If you've never smoked cigarettes at all and you just smoked 15 in a row, were you like an athlete too? Oh, yeah.

**Tim Dillon** (0:58)
Oh, so that totally fucked you up?

**Joe Rogan** (0:59)
Oh, completely me up. Yeah.

**Tim Dillon** (1:01)
No, the first time I had a cigarette, it's so terrible, but I was like, this is great. My body responded. I don't know what you had is the very normal experience.

**Joe Rogan** (1:12)
It was just too much. One cigarette I actually liked. I was like, what a head rush. This is kind of cool. I go, now I kind of get it. I get why you guys like this.

**Tim Dillon** (1:20)
Interesting.

**Joe Rogan** (1:20)
But we were doing this thing and I had to always be smoking. So we had a rehearse, we were doing it all day and I wanted to try to feel normal with a cigarette in my hand. So I kept smoking them and then I liked them. So I kept smoking them.

**Tim Dillon** (1:32)
Yeah.
It's a tough thing because the thing about, and I've been sober 15 years from alcohol and drugs and I look at people that are really drunk. It doesn't look appealing. It doesn't look good. But when you see somebody with a cigarette, it always looks good.

**Joe Rogan** (1:47)
It looks like, ah.

**Tim Dillon** (1:48)
It always looks good. You never say to yourself, like, that person is going to lose. Maybe you'll get sick and die. But you never go, they're going to lose control of their life. So you look at somebody with a cigarette, and you go, oh, yeah, they're having one. They're cool.

**Joe Rogan** (2:03)
It's fine. They're using it to help hang on.

**Tim Dillon** (2:05)
Yeah, I never look cool with it. It's like you look at an actor doing it, or someone at like the Cannes Film Festival. Sean Penn. Yeah, someone like that.
Timothee Chalamet has one. He's the size of one, and he has one. And I go, that looks fine. Does he smoke? Probably in France or something. You know what I mean? We'll do shit like that. So you'll see that.

**Joe Rogan** (2:24)
You should get a cigarette holder to go with your sunglasses.

**Tim Dillon** (2:26)
Yeah.

**Joe Rogan** (2:26)
Those Hunter Thompson cigarette holders.

**Tim Dillon** (2:28)
Yeah.

**Joe Rogan** (2:29)
That's your next move.

**Tim Dillon** (2:30)
I just got a...

**Joe Rogan** (2:30)
Long stems with the cigarette at the end of it.

**Tim Dillon** (2:33)
Like 1920s.

**Joe Rogan** (2:34)
Yeah.

**Tim Dillon** (2:35)
Like 1920s.

**Joe Rogan** (2:37)
Yeah.

**Tim Dillon** (2:37)
No, and it's the worst thing because the smell is terrible.

**Joe Rogan** (2:41)
Right.

**Tim Dillon** (2:41)
And it destroys your clothes. And it's very bad for your health, obviously.

**Joe Rogan** (2:46)
Yeah.

**Tim Dillon** (2:46)
But it is one of those things that is just such a good product. What other product could they tell you it kills you and we're raising the price every year?

**Joe Rogan** (2:56)
How about in England where they smoke like crazy of actual cancer on the fucking cartons?

**Tim Dillon** (3:00)
When you buy them, I was in London and you bought one, there was like a dead baby on one of them.

**Joe Rogan** (3:04)
A photo of them.

**Tim Dillon** (3:05)
They were like low birth weight.

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

**Tim Dillon** (3:07)
I was like, this is terrible.

**Joe Rogan** (3:09)
And no one cares. They smoke more over there than anywhere.
