going to drink rosé, because then we won't get shit-faced.

Ben Jaffe (0:02)

No, I told Joe, and also it occurred to me, Joe probably has all this other shit. He's not going to have rosé.

Suzanne Santo (0:08)

So we should show up with rosé.

Joe Rogan (0:08)

I definitely wouldn't have rosé. We're live.

Rosé is not my thing, but I'm not an anti-rosé person. I'll drink a fucking peanut colada after the moment presents itself.

Ben Jaffe (0:17)

How'd it go in there? You just enjoyed it, right?

Joe Rogan (0:19)

Yeah, it was good. I like your rosé. It was a good glass.

Suzanne Santo (0:21)

It's a good summertime beverage.

Joe Rogan (0:22)

Would everybody like some Jack Daniels? It's single malt.

Suzanne Santo (0:25)

Hold on, let me chug this rosé first.

Joe Rogan (0:27)

Single barrel. What does that even mean?

Ben Jaffe (0:29)

It's just in one of those barrels. It's in one barrel.

Joe Rogan (0:31)

Oh, one barrel.

Ben Jaffe (0:32)

One barrel.

Joe Rogan (0:32)

Supposed to what? You move it around a bunch of barrels?

Ben Jaffe (0:34)

Yeah, you re-barrel that shit.

Joe Rogan (0:35)

Like a fucking shotgun. Oh my God. I've listened to Jimi Hendrix live, Machine Gun. You know that song?

God damn. That's one of those songs where sometimes you hear it and you just go, oh wow. Like I've maybe been missing out on how good this fucking song is.

Ben Jaffe (0:55)

Yeah. He was conjuring shit up.

Joe Rogan (1:01)

It's just so good.

Ben Jaffe (1:02)

Is it off that Band of Gypsies record?

Joe Rogan (1:04)

Exactly. Yeah, it's all live.

Ben Jaffe (1:06)

I almost just stopped myself from saying fuck and then I realized where we were.

Suzanne Santo (1:13)

Have we ever fucked that one up on the real radio, on the censored radio?

Ben Jaffe (1:18)

I don't know.

But there's this song called The Power of Love, sorry, I just want to keep talking about Jimi Hendrix. It's the fourth track that's fucking insane. I mean, all this stuff's insane, but there's this tone that he hits that just like carves a piece out of your soul.

Joe Rogan (1:34)

When I used to work with Phil Hartman, he told me a story about when he was at the whiskey, and I think he was a teenager still. I think Phil was like 18 or 19 or something, and he was working as like a stagehand.

And his job was to hold up the speaker while Jimi Hendrix was on stage because the stage was so small and the speaker was kind of rocking, so he had to stand there, stand there and hold up the speaker. And he said Jimi Hendrix was five feet in front of me. He said it was fucking incredible, and this is when Hendrix was just sort of becoming Hendrix.

SPEAKER_5 (2:09)

So early?

Ben Jaffe (2:10)

1966, that'd be like 1966

Joe Rogan (2:12)

We could go back over when he died and when he would have been like 18 or 19, but I don't remember the exact age.

SPEAKER_5 (2:17)

He died in the 70s.

Ben Jaffe (2:18)

He died in 1970

Suzanne Santo (2:20)

Really?

Ben Jaffe (2:20)

Yeah, pretty sure.

Joe Rogan (2:21)

Yeah.

Suzanne Santo (2:21)

Damn, look at you. Encyclopedia, Ben.

Ventanica.

Joe Rogan (2:25)

Hartman died in like, I think, 98

So whatever that was those 20 years before that, so it would have been like in the early 70s, I guess. Yeah. That doesn't make sense, actually.

Suzanne Santo (2:36)

I wish we could go back in time and experience music, like in the 60s and 70s, when it was just like everything was new. You'd never heard anything like that before.

Joe Rogan (2:46)

Yeah, right? It was the first time they got real drugs.

Suzanne Santo (2:49)

Wait, what were the demonic chords, Ben? We were talking about this the other day, like back in like the Renaissance time.

Ben Jaffe (2:55)

That was like the 1600s.

Joe Rogan (2:57)

There was chords they thought to be demonic.

Suzanne Santo (2:59)

Yeah, they were evil. Like if they heard the shit we played today, it would be like you'd be burned at the stake.

SPEAKER_4 (3:08)

Oh yeah, fuck that.

Suzanne Santo (3:09)

He would have been toast.

Joe Rogan (3:10)

Well, just the beginning of Voodoo Child.

Suzanne Santo (3:12)

Right.

Joe Rogan (3:13)

You know? You hear that?

Suzanne Santo (3:14)

I never get sick of that.

Joe Rogan (3:17)

Well, you really stop and think about it. There was a clear evolution, right? There was a bunch of shit going on. There was Chuck Berry, and there was Little Richard, and then there was Elvis, and there was all these rock and roll guys, and then all of a sudden, there's this eruption out of that, and it's Led Zeppelin, and it's The Who, and it's Hendrix, and it's like people that were just on a completely different level.
