#796 - Josh Zepps

Joe Rogan (0:00)

Ah, Josh Zepps, we're live.

Josh Zepps (0:01)

Hello, mate.

Joe Rogan (0:02)

What's up, brother? How you doing?

Josh Zepps (0:04)

Ah, I'm good. I've been all over the place.

Joe Rogan (0:06)

You have been all over the place.

Josh Zepps (0:07)

I've been wandering. I'm not even on the HuffPost LIVE anymore.

Joe Rogan (0:09)

I know, you're wandering.

Josh Zepps (0:10)

I'm a wanderer.

Joe Rogan (0:11)

You're WeThePeople now.

Josh Zepps (0:12)

I'm all WeThePeople all the way. I like calling myself unemployed. I think it's just more, I think there's more, it takes more cojones to just say that you're unemployed than to be like, well, I've got a lot of projects going on. Like, I've got a lot of fingers, a lot of pies, and I'm like, I'm freelance now.

Joe Rogan (0:24)

But aren't you self-employed?

Josh Zepps (0:25)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (0:26)

So that's not unemployed.

Josh Zepps (0:27)

No, but I like fucking with people.

Joe Rogan (0:29)

Oh, you make them feel sad for you.

Josh Zepps (0:31)

Yeah, and make them feel, because people want you to immediately say like that you're doing okay, and unemployed makes you sound like a bum. So I like starting from the lowest possible position.

Joe Rogan (0:40)

You should tell people that you're going to get a trailer and you're going to travel across the country, get one of those things you drag behind your car, you're just going to live out of it. And the national parks.

Josh Zepps (0:50)

The more weeks I don't have a full-time job, the stronger my accent's going to get until I'm just down in a little ing, ing, ing, ing, here's me and my trailer. I haven't had a job in 15 years.

Joe Rogan (0:59)

You can't go from Australian accent to American Southern.

Josh Zepps (1:04)

I just did it.

Joe Rogan (1:05)

We don't allow that.

Josh Zepps (1:06)

Many people say that things are impossible, Joe Rogan, but I'm here to prove them wrong.

Joe Rogan (1:09)

Isn't it interesting how if you move to a place you're not allowed to adopt the accent? Like if an American moves to England, like remember when Madonna, she was only there for like six months, she started talking like this, and everybody's like, bitch, fuck out of here.

Like, we know that people talk like that, and we know it's a style of, it's an affectation. You decide to talk like that. You don't have to talk like that. You could, obviously when you watch British actors play Americans and do such a brilliant job of talking in an American accent, like the Walking Dead people, when people find out that Rick is a fucking, that he's from England, they're all from England. The girl, Maggie, she's from England, everybody's from fucking England.

Josh Zepps (1:46)

Yeah, and I mean, a lot of people don't know that Aussies are Aussies as well, if they're doing all the American accents. I mean, how often does Russell Crowe not have an American accent in a movie?

Joe Rogan (1:54)

True. And what's his face? Fucking Batman.

Christian Bale? He's Australian, too.

Josh Zepps (1:58)

No, he's English.

Joe Rogan (1:59)

Ah, same shit.

Josh Zepps (2:02)

Don't get me started on the differences between New Zealanders and Australians as well. There's this whole thing about who...

Fuck you.

Joe Rogan (2:08)

It's the same spot, right?

Josh Zepps (2:09)

Kinda, kinda. It's about as different as Canada and America. Not really.

Joe Rogan (2:13)

Barely, barely different. Close enough.

Josh Zepps (2:15)

There's a lot of dispute between the two countries about which one has to cop Mel Gibson. Because Mel was, I think, born in...

Was he born in New Zealand or something? There's some bullshit about whether he's American, Australian, or New Zealand. You can have him. As long as he's not Australian.

Joe Rogan (2:28)

Everybody loved him for a while.

Josh Zepps (2:29)

He was so good.

Joe Rogan (2:30)

He was awesome. Just couldn't keep it together.

Josh Zepps (2:33)

No. Well, being a wildly anti-Semitic, racist, religious nutjob doesn't help.

Joe Rogan (2:39)

Do you think he's a crazy person, though?

Josh Zepps (2:40)

I don't know whether that means anything when you're that famous.

Joe Rogan (2:44)

Of course it does. It always means something. I mean, being that famous doesn't discount certain biological realities of brain function. I think people have bad livers, their livers go bad, people get lung cancer. People without a doubt develop brain diseases.

Whether or not it's a psychological disease, meaning it's a disease of thought processes and taking you down bad roads, those bad thought processes become ingrained, and you continue them over and over again out of habit, or whether or not, he's obviously an alcoholic, right? So that's a real issue.
