Joe Rogan Podcast, checking in.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:25)
The Joe Rogan Experience. Shrain by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day.
Christopher. Hi. Good to see you.

**Joe Rogan** (1:35)
Thank you very much for the book. This is very cool of you. Ladies and gentlemen, Chris just gifted me, ladies and gentlemen, Lenny Bruce, which is a fucking amazing book. And it's inscripted, inscription inside to Yoko Ono, who knows well what the jazz life entails.
And it's Albert Goldman. And you were just telling me that Albert Goldman, this was his way of weaving into the Yoko Ono, John Leno, John Lennon camp.

**SPEAKER_4** (2:05)
Exactly. Yeah. And then he goes and writes a book that blows them up. I've just exploded a kind of new tonic all over my crotch as well. Jamie, have you got a napkin?

**Joe Rogan** (2:13)
A towel somewhere?

**SPEAKER_4** (2:14)
Apologies. We don't?

**SPEAKER_3** (2:15)
We must be gone. We'll go get some.

**SPEAKER_4** (2:17)
That's all right. Premature.
We have tissues. No.

**Joe Rogan** (2:21)
No?

**SPEAKER_4** (2:21)
All right.

**Joe Rogan** (2:22)
He says no.

**SPEAKER_4** (2:23)
Jamie says no.
Yeah. So he writes that book and then gifts it to Yoko Ono. And by giving it to her, I think is the beginning of him working his way into that camp. And then he goes on to write the book, The Lives of John Lennon, which after he's dead kind of explodes a lot of what was going on personally, whether it was true or not. There's a lot of drama and furor around it, but I knew that it was your favorite book and we were supposed to record last week.

**Joe Rogan** (2:46)
Well, thank you. That's very cool of you. I did not know about that, that he wrote the John Lennon book as well. It's really interesting because the John Lennon book, it's, God, it's so weird to write a book like that after a guy's dead and he can't respond to it.

**SPEAKER_4** (2:59)
Yeah.

**Joe Rogan** (2:59)
Where you're accusing it. Was it ex-wives that accused him of domestic violence?
Who accused him?

**SPEAKER_4** (3:07)
I don't know. I think that whole furore was just a mess. And obviously when someone's dead, what are they going to do? How are they going to be able to come back from that?

**Joe Rogan** (3:17)
They can't.

**SPEAKER_4** (3:17)
Yeah. Exactly.

**Joe Rogan** (3:19)
Well, it's just weird that you're allowed to do that.
You're allowed to say this happened, that happened. The guy can't say, no, no. And I can prove it. He can't say anything. And it's also like the give piece a chance guy. The give piece a chance guy who's beaten his wife.
Boy, you know, it's not that surprising giving like human contradiction. You know, it's like male feminists that turn out to be sexual predators. There's a lot of them, right? There's a lot of that weird stuff going on where people pretend to be one thing and they're actually another thing.

**SPEAKER_4** (3:48)
Sneaky.

**Joe Rogan** (3:49)
Yeah, sneaky fuckers. The give piece a chance guy beating his wife, though. It's like, I can't believe that. I have a really hard time believing that. But I've been fooled before, right? Like he seems like the most peaceful, nonviolent guy of all time. That guy's.
But I had read a bunch of stuff about him being a cunt.
Goldman portrayed Lennon as having numerous sexual relationships outside his marriages. His accounts include well-known relationship with Mei Pang. Like the Asians, huh?
