Joe Rogan Podcast, checking in.

Joe Rogan (2:06)

The Joe Rogan Experience. Shredding by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day. What's happening, baby?

Yakov Smirnoff (2:17)

How are you? I'm doing good.

Joe Rogan (2:18)

Good to see you.

Yakov Smirnoff (2:19)

Nice to see you.

Joe Rogan (2:20)

I know, Jamie's snucking up on us. Bam! Just turn on. Bam!

That way you don't have a chance to freak out.

Yakov Smirnoff (2:27)

Thank you.

Joe Rogan (2:28)

What's in the bag?

Yakov Smirnoff (2:29)

Oh, okay. So there are a couple of things. Oh, a couple of things.

One is, it's a mural, piece of the mural that I painted at the ground zero. And I thought it would be interesting for you to have.

Joe Rogan (2:44)

You painted a mural at ground zero? Yeah.

Yakov Smirnoff (2:47)

Oh, wow.

So that was something. And I actually sent them a poll. Harvey did the rest of the story about that. And I sent them a video if they wanted to. Yeah.

Joe Rogan (3:00)

I don't know if we can play that, unfortunately. I think it's got like a copyright to it.

Yakov Smirnoff (3:05)

Actually, we were told.

Joe Rogan (3:07)

Jamie, isn't that what they said? Yeah.

Yakov Smirnoff (3:10)

Right.

Joe Rogan (3:11)

So there's the mural. There's a photo of the mural.

Yakov Smirnoff (3:14)

Right. Right.

And it was, I was in touch with Paul Harvey, Jr., asking if that would be okay. And they said, it's fine. And they'll send it. Yeah.

Joe Rogan (3:24)

But I don't think they own it. You know what I'm saying?

Yakov Smirnoff (3:27)

They own his voice. So...

Joe Rogan (3:30)

Right. But it's probably, if it's on Paul Harvey's television show, right?

Yakov Smirnoff (3:34)

No, no, no. It was a radio. Right.

Joe Rogan (3:36)

If it's on Paul Harvey's radio show, it's probably copywritten. Did we have a problem when we played the Taylor Sheridan one? Remember we played that whole thing?

It's just an issue?

Yakov Smirnoff (3:47)

It's an issue. It's an issue. Don't sweat it.

Joe Rogan (3:49)

So anyway, you had a mural.

Yakov Smirnoff (3:51)

Yeah.

That's... There was a couple of other little...

Joe Rogan (3:56)

You got to talk into the microphone.

Yakov Smirnoff (3:57)

Sorry.

Joe Rogan (3:58)

That's all right. You wear headphones if you want. That way you can hear yourself.

Yakov Smirnoff (4:01)

Yes.

Joe Rogan (4:02)

You don't have to.

Yakov Smirnoff (4:03)

This is real.

Joe Rogan (4:05)

This is real.

Yakov Smirnoff (4:05)

What do you mean? No. Like, I watch you and I'm in such an awe of what you were able to, your career, your trajectory, how you were able to sustain that longevity and then transition to this amazing voice.

It's just... It's been an honor to know you and be here. So I'm a little nervous.
