#992 - Ian Edwards

Joe Rogan (0:05)

Oh, shit.

SPEAKER_2 (0:06)

Here we go, Ian Edwards, back from Montreal. Back from another country.

Ian Edwards (0:12)

What up, man?

SPEAKER_2 (0:13)

What's up, brother? Good to see you, man.

Ian Edwards (0:14)

Good to see you, man.

SPEAKER_2 (0:16)

Yeah, man.

Ian Edwards (0:17)

Was in Montreal at the Comedy Festival.

First of all, Canada is right there. Yeah. But it's such a hard country to get into.

Joe Rogan (0:27)

It's very hard to get into.

Ian Edwards (0:28)

It's crazy.

Joe Rogan (0:29)

Yeah, they don't want any douchebags. They have a zero-douchebag policy.

Ian Edwards (0:33)

But listen, I saw the ex-mayor of Montreal, right, in Walking Down Sunset in front of the Comedy Store, the one that was on crack, right?

Joe Rogan (0:46)

Is that the Toronto guy?

Ian Edwards (0:47)

The Toronto guy.

Joe Rogan (0:47)

Rob Ford, you saw that guy?

Ian Edwards (0:48)

Yeah, I saw that guy one day walking by the Comedy Store, and everybody took pictures with him, and he was the mayor, and he did crack. There's tape of it, right? So how the fuck did he get here?

But Canada won't even take a drunk driver from us.

Joe Rogan (1:05)

That's true. Well, I think crack, you're probably a better driver when you're on crack.

You're just more expeditious. You get things done. Yeah, that's a...

Ian Edwards (1:15)

If you commit a crime, you can't get into Canada. If you have a DUI, like Patrice had a DUI on... Well, not Patrice, but I know people that have DUIs that can get into Canada.

Joe Rogan (1:27)

Oh yeah, it's super common.

Ian Edwards (1:29)

It can't work there. You can't work there, you can't get in there.

Joe Rogan (1:32)

Diaz can't get up there.

Ian Edwards (1:33)

Say again? Joey Diaz.

Joe Rogan (1:34)

He can't get up there.

Ian Edwards (1:35)

Right.

SPEAKER_4 (1:36)

But he's got some real shit.

Ian Edwards (1:38)

Right, he's got some real shit.

Joe Rogan (1:39)

Armed kidnapping.

Ian Edwards (1:39)

But that's why I say DUI, because even though DUIs are serious, the ones where you get convicted, but you do your probation period, and you get your license back.

Even when you get your license back, you can't get into Canada. But somebody who was the mayor and soul cracker, and I know other Canadians that probably committed crimes, can be in here. Why the fuck is it so tough for me to get into Canada? When I got to the airport, I've been to Canada before. So when I got to the airport, they had me try to fill out some immigration form.

And it's three hours, I was like two and a half hours early, thank God. Then they want me to fill out this form on my phone online. It's like 40-something questions.

Joe Rogan (2:24)

Online?

Ian Edwards (2:25)

Online.

Joe Rogan (2:26)

It's the new way to do it?

Ian Edwards (2:26)

It's the new way to do it. Well, again, I got a British passport, so everybody that had a straight American passport went in.

Joe Rogan (2:35)

How does that work? You have a Jamaica passport, is that what it is?

Ian Edwards (2:37)

No, I got a British one.

Joe Rogan (2:39)

From England?

Ian Edwards (2:39)

From England, yeah.

Joe Rogan (2:40)

And so now when you're in America from England, how does it work? They give you a...

SPEAKER_4 (2:45)

I have a green card.

Joe Rogan (2:47)

So you're not a full American citizen?

Ian Edwards (2:49)

No, I'm a permanent resident.

Joe Rogan (2:50)

So I can't talk about certain shit with you.

Ian Edwards (2:52)

Why not?

Joe Rogan (2:52)

Because then it's like treasonous. I gotta be careful.

I gotta be careful. You're from another land. You're from another nation.

Ian Edwards (2:59)

No, man, I'm here.

Joe Rogan (3:00)

Isn't that odd?

I mean, that's really odd. Like here's a perfect example. Perfect example. I didn't know that you were born in England. If you told me, I forgot.

Ian Edwards (3:09)

Right. You probably forgot.

Joe Rogan (3:10)

I probably forgot.

Ian Edwards (3:11)

And people forget. We forget facts about each other.

Joe Rogan (3:13)

Well, especially that kind of fact, because it doesn't mean anything. It doesn't mean anything. But like automatically, like in the grand scheme of things, I'm supposed to look at you like, oh, you're on the other team.

You're over here. You could be one of those embedded people. I just read about these Russians, man.

These Russians in New Jersey. Did you hear about this?

Ian Edwards (3:31)

I'm not Russian anymore.

Joe Rogan (3:32)
