Duncan Trussell (0:12)

Feels ive, too.

Joe Rogan (0:14)

How do you know it went ive?

Duncan Trussell (0:17)

I trust this guy.

Joe Rogan (0:18)

You just sense it when it happens?

Duncan Trussell (0:20)

He tells me. He gives me a countdown.

He gives me a countdown, and then he does this.

Joe Rogan (0:26)

Oh, that's cool.

Duncan Trussell (0:27)

I'm trying to bring that back. When you see people and you like them, you give them the double guns.

It's a hard sell these days.

Joe Rogan (0:35)

Why?

Duncan Trussell (0:35)

Everybody's scared of guns.

Joe Rogan (0:37)

Oh, you're saying guns?

Duncan Trussell (0:39)

People don't think it's funny. You know, like, if... The odds of you doing it, you have to do it within a certain amount of time from a mass shooting.

Like, you couldn't do it the day of. It couldn't be like a Columbine. You're like, Duncan! People are like, wow, he's so morose.

What a fucked up sense of humor that guy's got. He's making fun day of.

Joe Rogan (1:01)

How could you?

Duncan Trussell (1:02)

Why is that funny to him?

Joe Rogan (1:03)

That is not funny. I can't believe you're fucking doing those signs.

Can I sit down and talk to you for a second?

Duncan Trussell (1:09)

Bro, don't you think it's time?

Joe Rogan (1:10)

It's time to really talk about using these gun gestures, because honestly, I know it's not really hurting anybody, but we have to pay respect to the people who have lost their lives from these terrible weapons, and I just think we should remove it for reals. You just showed me the replacement emoji.

Duncan Trussell (1:28)

Apple has a new emoji.

Joe Rogan (1:29)

Thank God.

Duncan Trussell (1:30)

They got rid of the pistol and they turned it into a water gun.

Joe Rogan (1:33)

I'll tell you man every time I ���ed at that old pistol emoji, and this is no joke, when I used to plug a nd look at it, it just filled me with a desire to go shoot up a shopping mall that emoji. So I'm glad they got rid of it.

Duncan Trussell (1:45)

Me, it made me want to go back to the Old West. I wanted to be like a cowboy.

Joe Rogan (1:50)

Maybe if they had shopping mall...

Duncan Trussell (1:53)

Wait wait.

Apple adds more gender diverse emojis in iOS 10 Duncan, please explain.

Jamie (2:01)

I just Googled, new emoji, to find the water piston.

Duncan Trussell (2:03)

And this is what came up first? How dare you? How dare you bring this up? 100 new and redesigned emoji characters, including no more guns.

Female athletes, okay, that's cool.

Joe Rogan (2:16)

That's cool.

Duncan Trussell (2:17)

Oh, so, okay, gender diverse, all right.

I'm a little too high for the show. I was thinking gender neutral.

Joe Rogan (2:25)

There we go, look at those buttes. Those are some sweet new emojis.

Duncan Trussell (2:29)

That's actually cool. Nothing wrong with that.

Emojis are weird. It's weird when friends start sending you emojis. Because for the longest time, guys never sent emojis.

Joe Rogan (2:39)

No way.

Duncan Trussell (2:40)

And now it's happening.

Joe Rogan (2:41)

I love them, man. What a useful fucking thing.

The animated GIFs and the emojis, praise God in heaven.

It's so great. It saves so much time. It gets across so much more. Language is so limited, man. We have to like, it really is.

Duncan Trussell (2:55)

I think we're going to hieroglyphs.

Joe Rogan (2:58)

What do you mean? Eventually, yeah.

Duncan Trussell (2:59)

I think that's what these emojis are.

Joe Rogan (3:01)

Yeah, right.

Duncan Trussell (3:02)

I think they are a modern version of hieroglyphs.

Joe Rogan (3:05)

That's right. Yeah. They articulate so much, you know, it's like a very efficient form of language. It just needs to get a little deeper so that the emojis are animated a little bit so that you can sort of tune in the emoji to the specific thing you're trying to convey to somebody instead of just the smiley face, which they have in the Apple Watch.

You can control it a little bit, the smiley face emoji. You just need to be able to dial it in a little bit more.

Duncan Trussell (3:34)

Do you think by limiting, by keeping it more open-ended, right?

Like instead of having a bunch of descriptives, nouns and verbs and things like that, instead of that, having more of an open-ended idea, like a smiley face. Like a smiley face and then knuckles, which is like, yo, give me some knuckles, I'll see you later. You know what I mean? Like you can kind of keep it in this weird, non-defined state. Like we both know what it is, but it's not written anywhere.
