#924 - Rory Albanese

Joe Rogan (0:06)

Now we're live?

I, for one, want to express outrage at that Kellyanne Conway woman, not just putting her feet up on that couch, but being the only woman in the room having her feet up on the couch. Do you think this is a sexual posturing thing?

Rory Albanese (0:19)

I don't know, you know, there's a lot of men in the room. A lot of men in the room.

Joe Rogan (0:23)

Look at me, I'm in a weird position.

Rory Albanese (0:26)

It could just be instinct.

Joe Rogan (0:27)

Yeah, look at her, look at her. All those dudes, there's a lot of black dudes. Is that the Black Caucus, black college, leaders of the black?

Jamie (0:36)

Yeah, historically, black colleges and universities.

Joe Rogan (0:39)

Oh, and look at her. Do you think that that's what's going on there?

I feel that's very sexual.

Rory Albanese (0:45)

Yeah, I mean, it looks sexual.

Joe Rogan (0:46)

Dude, she's got the vagina curtain thing going on. She's got her legs spread.

Rory Albanese (0:50)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (0:51)

She's looking at her phone, maybe pictures of dicks. Hmm, another dick.

Rory Albanese (0:55)

She's actually on Tinder, which is weird, yeah.

Joe Rogan (0:59)

Yeah, she's swiping everyone right, yes. Come get some.

There's so many great memes about this. Like, I saw one of them that was in quotes, what is a train, question mark.

Rory Albanese (1:13)

Fantastic, that's fantastic.

Joe Rogan (1:16)

We live in a fucking dream, man. We really do. This is so, to see Donald Trump smiling, like if you knocked me over the head 10 years ago and put me in a coma, and then woke me up today, and then I was like, well, what's going on? Who's the president? And you're like, well, check this out.

SPEAKER_4 (1:33)

I'm like, get the fuck out of here.

Rory Albanese (1:35)

Oh yeah, yeah, it's like, you remember that scene in Back to the Future when he's like, who's the president in 1985? Ronald Reagan, the actor, you know? That's exactly what it's like.

Joe Rogan (1:44)

It's crazy.

Rory Albanese (1:45)

Yeah, it's crazy.

Joe Rogan (1:46)

That picture, put that picture back up.

There's so much going on there. No one's ever done that before.

Rory Albanese (1:50)

And you know, like, before this, he's like, we gotta do a photo with the blacks, you know, like he said, those are the kind of things he says. We gotta get more images of the blacks out with me. Because every time he takes a photo into the Oval Office, it's like, you know, 12 white guys.

SPEAKER_4 (2:06)

I wish I could do an impression of him.

Rory Albanese (2:09)

I mean, yeah, there's a lot. Yeah, to me, it's just talk like a...

Joe Rogan (2:13)

I can't though. My voice doesn't make that noise, like whatever noise his voice makes.

Rory Albanese (2:18)

It's very like, it's kind of gravelly or something. I don't know what it is, yeah.

SPEAKER_4 (2:22)

Very bad things, bad things.

Rory Albanese (2:23)

Bad things, sad.

Joe Rogan (2:25)

Very bad.

Rory Albanese (2:25)

Sad.

Joe Rogan (2:26)

That sad thing, it's hilarious, the word sad after tweets, because fucking everybody's doing it now.

Rory Albanese (2:31)

It's so funny though. The internet is funny, man.

Like internet, the internet, you have to, like I always look at comedy like music, you know, and I always say like, like I know how to do, I know how to play acoustic guitar, which is like stand up, you know what I mean? And I know how to like write. I've written for TV shows that's like playing the piano.

Instagram, Twitter, like it's like, that's like the saxophone, man. And I'm like, I'm trying to learn the music, but it's funny, man. Like people-

Joe Rogan (2:54)

It's a new kind of comedy.

Rory Albanese (2:55)

Yeah, and people are good at it. Like some people are just good at it. And like you said, you see a meme every now and then. Like my girlfriend sometimes will be in the, you know, like whatever it's, you know, in the bedroom or something. And I'm here, hysterically laughing.

And I come in and she just shows me, and I'm like, you know what, that's pretty funny. And it's just a still image with three words on it. And it just works.

Joe Rogan (3:14)

Well, memes are a new form of comedy. Like these images with text attached to the image, that's just so perfect.

Rory Albanese (3:21)

Totally, and there's a way to do it.

And there's a way not to do it. Because you can't be meta about it. You can't be like, oh, you have to like embrace it. You can't think you're above it. Like you can't go like, oh, here's my meme. My meme's about how memes are stupid. It's like, nah, fuck you, everybody hates you.
