#997 - Pauly Shore

Joe Rogan (0:09)

Boom, and we're live. Dude, you survived. What's up, buddy?

You survived The Joey Diaz Experience.

Pauly Shore (0:16)

You know, I got a text from Tom Segura. Tom, right? Yeah. Because he asked me, we were backstage, about to go on stage at the Main Room, and he's like, I want you to do my podcast, blah, blah, blah, and I'm like, awesome.

And then we were texting just about my schedule with him, and then I'm like, okay, I'm going to go see Joey Diaz, da, da, da, da, and he's like, dude, fucking gummy bears, watch out. And I'm like, what are you talking about? I didn't understand what he was talking about. Like I didn't, you know what I mean? I honestly didn't, like I was like, whatever, I don't know what you're talking about. And then once I got there, I smoke weed sometimes. I don't smoke all the time, but I like to smoke weed sometimes. But as far as the edibles, like Dean Gelber has given me some pot stuff, but like cookies and shit. But then he was eating these gummy bears, and they're in a bag.

And I was like going, fuck, okay. And he gave me just like an ear or some shit.

And that was it. And then I was just like talking nd then like literally, I couldn't talk anymore. I couldn't talk.

Joe Rogan (1:22)

So you only ate a part of it, right?

Pauly Shore (1:23)

I only ate a half of one.

Joe Rogan (1:25)

And I had to leave. He's got some that are like 500 milligrams, which is just insane.

So you probably had half of that, which is like 250, which is fucking insane. That's an insane amount of weed. Unless you're an OG.

Pauly Shore (1:40)

Yeah, but I had done mushrooms once before, when I was younger, and it felt like that.

Joe Rogan (1:46)

Yeah, well, that's...

To the risk of repeating myself over and over again, which I do all the time, but when you eat marijuana, it's processed by your liver and it produces something called 11-hydroxy metabolite. It's a totally different psychoactive substance. That's four to five times more psychoactive than THC. So that's why it hits you like that. And that's why people think they got dosed, because when you smug pot, it's not psychoactive.

But when you eat it, it's processed by your liver. It's something called the one pass. And that's how it produces that.

Pauly Shore (2:20)

Yeah, and I can't believe he let me drive home.

Like, seriously. I mean, I could have... Like, because when I was driving home, I was like, dude, I got to go. Like, I stopped. I go, I can't answer your questions.

And I said, I have to go. And I left, and I drove out, and he let me drive.

Joe Rogan (2:35)

You got to understand, Joey Diaz found his mother dead on the kitchen floor when he was on acid when he was 13

He would let you fly a fucking plane on those things. He doesn't give a shit. He's just like, you'll figure it out, cocksucker.

Pauly Shore (2:50)

But anyways...

Joe Rogan (2:51)

So when did it hit you? Like, you did a podcast. Like, how deep into it?

Pauly Shore (2:55)

Probably 15 minutes into it.

And I couldn't speak. I had to stop. Like, I couldn't speak.

Joe Rogan (3:02)

Did he ever release the podcast?

Pauly Shore (3:04)

I don't know. I think he did the audio, but not the video.

I told him not to do the video, because I couldn't answer any questions.

Joe Rogan (3:11)

Yeah, but wouldn't that be funny?

Pauly Shore (3:13)

Yeah, I guess. I don't know.

Joe Rogan (3:14)

I would like to see myself that fucked up, where I can't even talk.

Yeah, those edibles are fucking terrifying. They're goddamn terrifying.

Pauly Shore (3:23)

He was eating them like, they were like, you know, the eddles are some shit.

Joe Rogan (3:28)

He's a different type of human. Well, there's a lot of those people now, because edibles and marijuana has been legal for so long. There's so many medical patients in California that you get these people that have insane tolerances.

And they're just doing dabs and eating cookies and just like, Jesus. They go down a hole.

Pauly Shore (3:47)

You know, the whole marijuana movement and that whole thing is so much different than when I was growing up. You know, when I grew up, we'd still like, you know, smoke it. We'd go to the beach, and we'd put a towel over us. We'd hide it.

Now, like last night, I was at the Funnier Die Party, and it was the 10th anniversary, and I was just walking around. It just smells like weed everywhere. It's just very normal now. Like, you know, that like, I don't know, that's just the way.
