been three years since he texted back.

Joe Rogan (0:02)

We are live right now, and our brother Joey Coco Diaz is in Chicago tonight. If you are lucky to get tickets to his show at Zany's in Rosemont, Illinois. It's not technically Chicago, right? How far away is that?

Russell Peters (0:15)

Rosemont is like 20 minutes, 20 minutes, just outside.

Joe Rogan (0:18)

That's where Joey is, and he's filming tonight for CISO. CISO is some, yeah, exactly, some new thing that Doug Stanhope has a special on CISO.

Now, Joey has a special on CISO, and apparently, it's like NBC is doing something, something that NBC is doing.

Russell Peters (0:35)

Well, Netflix is giving apparently $40 million to Chris Rocks. What? Did you hear that?

What? $40 million for two specials.

Joe Rogan (0:43)

Jesus.

Russell Peters (0:44)

That's fucking insane.

Jesus. That's $20 million a special.

Joe Rogan (0:50)

That's a record.

Russell Peters (0:51)

Yeah, I would say. They got into a bidding war with HBO apparently for like, HBO went up to $30 million and Netflix said fuck you, here's $40 million.

Joe Rogan (0:59)

Holy shit, Netflix is balling.

Russell Peters (1:01)

Yeah, but now I feel gypped.

Joe Rogan (1:05)

Netflix is out of control right now, but so is HBO. I've been watching Westworld. Have you watched Westworld?

Russell Peters (1:10)

Is that on HBO?

Joe Rogan (1:11)

Yeah.

Russell Peters (1:11)

Holy shit.

Joe Rogan (1:12)

It's good.

Russell Peters (1:13)

I've heard about it, but I thought it was like on CBS or something.

Joe Rogan (1:16)

Good.

Russell Peters (1:17)

Yeah?

Joe Rogan (1:17)

It's good.

Russell Peters (1:18)

That's where they go into that weird, like a fake world and robots and shit.

Joe Rogan (1:23)

Yeah, it's like it's based on that 1973 movie with Yule Brenner, Westworld.

Russell Peters (1:28)

Good old Yule.

Joe Rogan (1:29)

Yeah, which was basically the same kind of movie. It was basically the same as the show. How many times I say basically in the first five minutes?

But what it was is it's, you know, so people can go and have like a fantasy and live in the wild west. But obviously, the robots don't play and they start malfunctioning. And that's where I'm in episode two.

Russell Peters (1:48)

Shit started to get weird. Like Cowboy Logan's Run?

Joe Rogan (1:52)

Logan's Run?

SPEAKER_3 (1:53)

Wow, I don't even remember that.

Russell Peters (1:54)

Really? You don't remember Logan's Run?

Joe Rogan (1:55)

I barely remember it.

SPEAKER_3 (1:56)

I was trying to remember it.

Russell Peters (1:57)

I loved Logan's Run when I was a kid.

Joe Rogan (1:58)

What was Logan's Run? Was it a series or was it a movie?

Russell Peters (2:02)

I think it was a movie and then it became a series. Yeah, there it is.

Joe Rogan (2:07)

Oh, wow. I remember the poster. Welcome to the 23rd century.

Russell Peters (2:12)

Isn't that weird? That is weird.

Joe Rogan (2:14)

It's so weird what they thought we were going to be living like. Do you remember Space, 1999?

Russell Peters (2:20)

I remember everything was... I remember when I was breakdancing in 1984, there was a move called the 1990 where you jumped on... You remember that move? You jumped on one hand. You flipped up upside down on one hand and spun. The move that Cuba Gooding Jr. did in...

Joe Rogan (2:33)

Go back. Go back to those pictures. Go back to the first one you went to. Look at that. They got one thing right. People are going to be wearing pre-ripped pants like assholes, and girls are going to be showing their vaginas.

They got both of those things right.

Russell Peters (2:47)

And not hairstyles back.

Joe Rogan (2:49)

Both hairstyles are back. Chicks are wearing hairstyles like that too.

So what was the move? The 1990?

Russell Peters (2:56)

It was called the 1990 That's good stuff.

Joe Rogan (2:58)

Is that real?

Russell Peters (2:59)

That's cosplay.

Joe Rogan (3:01)

Keep cosying, girl. Whatever you're doing, I like it.

See, I'm so happy that girls still dress like that. All this crazy talk of women not dressing sexy or alluring like that is just disturbing to me, Russell Peters. I don't want that to change.

Russell Peters (3:19)

I mean, you know, it depends on when and where they're doing it, right?

Joe Rogan (3:22)

No. Do it whenever you want. Give them the green light.

Office buildings, everything.

Russell Peters (3:27)

Office buildings would be great.

Joe Rogan (3:28)

Fuck yeah.

Russell Peters (3:29)

I remember going into office buildings just getting a hard-on looking at the secretaries and the heels.
