The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
Bro, I used to live in Los Angeles. I used to go to Jerry's Famous Deli and get their chicken noodle soup. They had the best. Oh, my God. Their chicken noodle soup.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
If you think about how cold Rush is, of course they make a good soup. Yeah. Anywhere that's cold is going to make a good soup. Yeah. You don't hear, like, soup from Texas. No. Right? You hear chili. Yeah. You don't hear soup. You don't hear about their soup. Queso.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
It's basically vegetable juice. That's where you're drinking hot vegetable juice. Of course it's good for you.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
Right. Oh, that kind of stuff where they make the little white swirls on the top like it's a latte? Yeah. Fancy.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
Those are the three I probably have most iconic... So what are the... we're rolling now, so tell me what's like the most iconic beats you've created. Oh, we're already rolling? We're rolling. Hey, fuck it. How you doing?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
Isn't it funny that that fear of, like, the Pete Best type thing, that's such a real thing? In the beginning, you don't have any idea what your future's going to be.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
But there's just a handful of dudes like you out there in the world that I call, like, musical magicians. You know, there's people that people call upon. You know, like, you gotta get Storch. I'm a producer-producer. Right, but what is that? Like, what separates you from other musicians that makes you this savant? Do you think about it, or would that take away the magic?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
But... I just love those two guys. They're just... And they're so fucking talented, man. We saw them out here at Stubbs. Yeah. Fuck, it was so fun, man. Yeah, man. And something about Nashville is a great place to make music, man. Well, think about how much great music has come out of there, and then the memory of that shit is burned into the city. I believe in that.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
I believe that places have memory. You know, I really do. Yeah, you feel it. I think there's an element. I mean, it's not everything about a place, but I think places have memory.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
you know i i think that a place like nashville i mean and also it's small enough because it's because it's kind of a tight community everybody kind of knows everybody there's so many musicians there kid rock's there black keys yeah kid rock he told me he was yeah i read it with the ufc this kid rocks my favorite thing of all time is going to his giant track of land in nashville and seeing his white house
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
Yeah, he's always at the UFC with Trump. It's hilarious because Trump comes into American Badass. The crowd goes nuts when they know he's there. And then Kid Rock's behind him. It's like the Republican Avengers.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
It was cool, man. Jeff Dye was telling me he's done stand-up at Mar-a-Lago. How crazy is that? Yeah, that's a fucking – he's a genius.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
I need to check it out. We thought about doing a – we do this podcast called Protect Our Parks with Shane Gillis, Ari Shaffir, and Mark Normans. It's a crazy podcast. We get hammered and drink beer out of, like, this giant Freedom Bong. It's like an eagle's asshole. You're drinking the beer out of it. And we talked about doing one from Mar-a-Lago. We might do that still.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
That would be badass. What did they wear? What's a Roaring Twenties outfit? Zoot suit. I would imagine that's like... Double-breasted... Yeah, like the Peaky Blinders, what those dudes wore. What did they wear in the 20s? The Shelbys. Zoot suits, man. What did they wear? Roaring 20s men. Oh, yeah. Oh, that looks slick. Those hats. Look at that. They all wore hats. Isn't that crazy?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
Lucky Luciano shit going on. Isn't that crazy that, like, nice hats just went away? We were talking about that the other day. We were watching an old school fight with Jack Johnson. And every man on the street, like, waiting in line for the fight, all the people in the audience for the fight, all of them had fancy hats on. Men used to just wear fancy hats. Something happened.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
Fancy hats just fell apart. Like if you were in the fancy hat business in 1920, you'd be like, bro, we got it forever. Fancy hats ain't going away. But fancy hats completely fucking went.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
I'm sure there's companies, but it's not like they everybody's like baseball hats. Everybody buys baseball hats, you know, but fancy hats. They just went away. If you would ask those fancy hat people, do you think one day the president will be wearing a baseball hat or a fancy hat? They'd be like, a fancy hat. He's the fucking president. Nope. Make America great again. Baseball hat with a suit on.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
That's crazy. You know what? Fancy hats just fell out of style.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
It's all bullshit. It's nice to dress up sometimes. Sometimes. It's fun. It's a pain in the ass sometimes.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
How old are you now? I'm 50. Okay, seven years different than me.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
Well, look at Elon Musk. Dude wears Occupy Mars t-shirts. Doesn't even have a watch. Just hanging.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
I think what happens is in the beginning you want everybody to know you're doing well, so you have all your stuff on. You dress real nice. You're like, wow, Scott looks good. He looks sharp. But then when you're undeniable, you reach a point in your life where you're just like, who am I doing this for? This is stupid.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
But look, you're still here. Yay. I had fun. I had tons of fun. I bet you had a good time. I bet you had a good time.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
That's a negative feedback loop. Because that doesn't feed into art either. It's the opposite. It doesn't. I had to get rid of all of that.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
I appreciate both things. I appreciate people who dress real nice, and I appreciate people who don't give a fuck. I think there's a place for everybody. There's a happy medium. Yeah. And then the stuff, stuff is not life. Life is not your stuff. No. But some stuff is fucking cool. Hell yeah.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
Like, Cat Williams, when he was here, he wasn't even living here or staying here, and somehow or another he got an electric Rolls Royce. So he's here. He's here for a day to do a show. Wasn't he doing a show somewhere else or something? Like an arena somewhere? Yeah. But one of the things he said, he said, when you're sitting in this car, you know where you spent your money. Yeah.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
Because it's like, you go, oh, I know why this is $600,000. Look how fucking amazing this thing is. Lights on the ceiling. I love nice things.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
Right. You don't like them for showing off. You like them because you like them because they're awesome. There's nothing wrong with luxury. Yes. There's nothing wrong with luxury. If you work hard. The problem is you trying to show everybody your luxury instead of just enjoying it. Like, look at my car.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
Before anything. Before anything. Before food. It shouldn't come before anything. It should be just a fun thing. And when you get to a level of success that you're at, if you don't figure that out, that's when it's the saddest. When someone makes a ton of money and doesn't go, oh, it's not about the things. It's about the relationships that I have. It's about my friends.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
It's about my loved ones, my family. It's about the people that I work with. It's about everybody having a good time. It's about let's all get together and break bread and eat and hug each other and tell each other we love each other and do great work and have a good time and just enjoy this life experience. That's the thing. That's the thing. The car is just like, look, that's cool, dude.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
Yeah, you pull up in a cool car, I'm like, check it out.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
Well, you know, the problem is that's seemingly the most unattainable thing. When you're broke and you see some guy who pulls up in a brand new 911, you're like, what the fuck? This is yours? It's mind-blowing. I had Bugattis and all kinds of shit.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
Right? That is not America. That's a new thing. That's a new thing. Miami's wild.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
Yeah. But, yeah, you're outside. That's what I think. Attack it from the outside.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
And you think moving an hour outside Miami was a big part of that?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
Yeah, balance myself. You need balance, man. You need to be able to go hard, but you need to be able to recover, relax, and focus. You need privacy. You need solitude so you can think. Everybody needs that. You need balance in your life. If you don't, you lean in one direction. It's like your body. You only work out your biceps, your hips are going to go. Something's going to go wrong.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
You're going to fuck your body up with imbalance. You're going to fuck your life up with imbalance. Everything needs some sort of a balance, and everybody's balance is different. Now, for a guy like you who goes hard, you probably should get the fuck out of Miami. You probably should be living in Boca. Right. With all the quiet people. Yep.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
One hour. Fuck it. How hard is that? I love Florida. This is a fucking crazy ass place. It is. Crazy ass place filled with reptiles. Yeah, right? And they literally were walking around on your dock.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
Giant iguanas falling out of trees when it gets cold out. It's funny as shit. It's just such a fucked up place. But it's so fun. There's so many good things. And during the pandemic, I think people started to really appreciate Florida. Like so many people moved down there. They're like, hey, you can just live here. You don't have to just be under the tyrannical control of the government.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
Bro, I grew up in Boston, and it's cold as fuck in the winter. When I was a kid, we made money by shoveling snow. And that's back-breaking fucking work, shoveling long, steep driveways and shit for $100. But if you could do that and do that all the time, you build resolve. You're out there freezing. Your hands are numb. We'd play outside in the snow. Your fucking hands would go numb.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
You'd come in. You can't feel your feet. Makes you stronger. It makes you stronger. Scraping the ice off your windshield before you go to work. Salting the fucking walk. I feel bad for people that don't grow up in those environments because I really think it gives you a little extra edge. And those changing of seasons is amazing. Different feelings, different moods.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
All my favorite comedians for the most, well, that's not true. I was going to say that, but then Kennison. He was from Texas. Sam. Yeah. But that was different. That dude was, that's a different thing. I always think about back to school. I think about Sam Kennison.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
For many. Yeah, there's something to that. But it's... You just got to figure out how to balance it like we were talking about before. For me, I balance it out with exercise. Exercise and saunas and cold plunges and yoga and shit like that. That's how I balance it out. That's how I keep my mind straight. But if I didn't, I would be spiraling just like all of them.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
I think you need something in your life that's more difficult than your life. Something that you do that you choose to do that's more difficult than regular life. Because then it makes regular life way more manageable.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
But there's something, you're exchanging something as human beings, right? You're with that person. You're experiencing them. They're experiencing you, the music, the song, everything together, the lyrics. That's a human experience. That's why I refuse to do Zoom podcasts. Like some people in other countries, they wanted to be on a screen and just sit in their living room.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
We were just listening to Neighbors in the green room last night. We were all going, motherfucker, I am.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
Well, you're also a guy that you find out you're working with Scott Storch that day, everybody gets fired up. Because you've had so much success that there's this excitement about you. And you're in the room, and that creates additional inspiration.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
Not every time, but almost every time. But when you're dealing with something that involves creativity, it can't be every day. It's not possible. You're asking too much of the muse.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
But that's also the problem with being a workaholic. You're going hard all the time. You're constantly working, and you're gonna have your hits, and you're gonna have your misses, and that's just a part of the process. Yeah.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
A good friend of mine, we were talking about a buddy of ours that died. He died from pills. And he was super clean. He was a professional pool player. like a really like world-class pool player, super clean, never did anything, never drank, never smoked, got in a car accident, fucked his back up, started getting on pills and pain pills to him.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
He chased the pain pills the way he chased being the best in the world at pool. The same thing that got him to be a wizard at playing pool, that same obsession, that same obsession got wrapped up in the pills and he died. He died young. And we were talking about them like that is what it is. That's where obsession and addiction cross paths. One can serve you, one can ruin you.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
And they're the same energy. It's just how you channel the fire. You can channel the fire to wood and cook your food or you can channel it to your house and now you're fucked. Like, where do you put the fire? How do you direct it? And if you direct it the right way, you can have an amazing life and do all kinds of cool shit and have a great time and meet cool people and have a fun life.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
Or you can do it the wrong way and just be on skid row. Yeah. Covered in scabs.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
And like, I gained a lot of respect for her when she started working for criminal and prison reform. Yeah. That's just shows like she's, that's, it's from the heart to advocacy for people that are wrongfully accused. Yeah, man. She's done a lot of good things. She's that lady has gotten a lot of people out of jail.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
Well, sometimes it's the handlers that fuck things up. The handlers. I've seen people that they give themselves extra importance by saying, if you want to talk to her, you have to talk to me first. Yeah, like creating a role for themselves. And creating a little bit of insecurity on your part, too. Don't address Miss Jackson correctly. Right. Address me. Yeah. I'll address Mrs. Johnson.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
That's exactly it. And probably she might not even know about all that.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
It's just... So much regret for things like that. When you have so much money and you have power and fame, it's like you have too much possibility.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
There's too many things that can entice you. And if you're doing blow and going to strip clubs all the time, it's just like, more titties in my face, please. Like, let's keep doing it. Let's keep partying. Let's stay up. It's selfish.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
It's imbalanced. It's true. It's imbalanced. It's like what we're talking about. You need a balance.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
Oh, without a doubt. Without a doubt. The power that that guy had in his voice. It was amazing. But wild people make wild shit. I'm one of them. Sometimes you can't control it. You can't calculate or... Yeah, I mean, going back to Kennison, I mean, that just did him in. I mean, he died in a car accident, but he was falling apart because it was all cocaine. Cocaine and drinking.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
And the wildest of the wilds all get caught up in that life because you escape yourself.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
The difference between enjoying yourself and an escape.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
Well, you're closing in on death. That's the reality. You do two days. People don't like to think that, but if you're up for two days, you're about four days away from death. You keep that up for four days, you're going to die. You'll stroke out. You'll have a heart attack. Something will go wrong. You'll pop. Something will go off. Yeah, you'll get emphysema or you'll get pneumonia.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
You'll get something horrible because your immune system is destroyed. But it's like wild people make wild shit. And do you get a DMX without drugs?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
I don't know if you get those people. I don't know if you get Hendrix without acid. I don't know if you get it. I don't know if you get it. I don't know if you get it without heroin. I don't know.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
Oh, bro, you made it through. Yeah, I made it through. You made it through. You're alive. You're healthy. You're lucky. You're blessed.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
Lucky as shit. And it's just, like, that's the dance, man. The dance is how much wild do you let in your life? And if you don't let any in... You might be boring as fuck. Your art might suck.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
All my favorite artists are a little off the rails and always have been. From my favorite writers to my favorite musicians. I mean, so many of my favorite musicians died young. Hendrix is probably one of my all-time favorites, but that's a great example. You know, Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, all these people died young, man.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
Kurt Cobain died young because they went too fucking hard, too wild, too wild out of the gate. Amy Winehouse, too wild. You start dealing with stuff that, like...
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
Yeah, it takes over. And again, if you live in that, there you go. If you live in that wildlife, it's like there's no one telling you to stop. There's no one telling you to slow down. You have all the money in the world. Like what? Who the fuck are you? Why are you telling me to slow down? Fuck out of here. I just did the Star Spangled Banner with my teeth. Get the fuck off the stage.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
You ever see him do that? Ever see Hendrix do the Star Spangled Banner with his teeth? Bro. That motherfucker.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
It always bums me out that there's so many people out there like that that do have – they have intelligence and ability, but the system just wants them to plug into normal jobs. You don't realize, like, hey, there's other jobs out there. There's other things that you can do. It's not conventional. The path's not clear. You want to get into music? You really fucking love music? Yeah.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
Well, that doesn't sell. What sells is you're the worst piece of shit of all time. Oh, my God, let me read about this piece of shit. That's a horrible thing that journalists do for money. They make these pieces where they completely distort a person's essence and they only do it for money. They're just like emotional hit people. Let's not talk about everything.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
I left my footprint in the fucking world. But at any rate. Yeah, right. Let's just talk about negative things and only from a very distorted perspective. Life is nuanced and it's weird. Life is fucking crazy. And sometimes people make mistakes, but it's not their whole being. Yeah. And to try to like condense a person down to like tabloid headlines, like that's the essence of the person.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
That's crazy. That's like the least compassionate, the least kind way of looking at human beings. That's not how human beings are. We're complicated. That's why those little hit pieces, they're gross and they don't really work. Because people know that. This is probably a lot more to this. Why is this so negative? This is not a balanced version of who that person is.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
Of course you are. You're an artist. Every artist is complex. I've never met one that isn't.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
Do you have any say in, like, because one of the things that drives me nuts is when there's a movie and no one was there. And you see, like, this historical figure say some things. And you're like, well, how do I? He didn't really say that. Some fucking writer wrote that shit. This is not a real conversation that this person had with somebody.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
But it's weird when someone's alive and someone's playing that person who's alive. And you know, like, oh, that's not really Scott Storch. You know what I mean? It's weird. It's like a movie about you. You remember when Michael Jai White played Mike Tyson? Mm-hmm. You know, and Mike Tyson was, I mean, they were friends. They were cool with each other. But, like, that had to be weird.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
Get into music. Yeah. Get into music. And nobody tells you that, man.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
You're playing a dude who's still alive. Mike Tyson's a special guy. He's a very special guy. He's a very good friend of mine. I'm glad he got through that fight and didn't get hurt. Yeah. That's what I was hoping he would knock Jake Paul out. Just because that's the Cinderella story. I don't have anything against Jake Paul. I like Jake Paul. I think what he's doing is genius.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
I think what he's doing is, like, I mean, he's making insane amounts of money. He's having a great fucking time. He's a legit boxer. He's absolutely a legit boxer. Yeah, you can't hate on somebody that works that hard. You cannot. You can't. I would never hate on... If you do, you're an idiot. No, I was like, you know what?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
So they were YouTubers or they were on Disney Channel. Who cares? What you do with it? But the reality is... Mike is 58 years old, and I was worried. I love that guy, and he was a hero of mine when I was a kid. So to see him, 58 years old, fighting, part of me was like, fuck.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
He really is, man, for a guy who was the most terrifying fighter of all time. He's a really nice guy to be around.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
Vegas is a great example of a place where you have to have balance in. It's like living in Miami to me. You live in Vegas, you should probably live in Henderson. Yeah, right. Live out there. Celine Dion. Yeah, exactly. Live close to the mountains out there. Don't be right in the middle of all that. Attack it from the outside. That's what I did in L.A.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
When I lived in L.A., I lived like an hour outside L.A. I never lived. I did when I first moved there, and then I slowly started moving further and further away until I got about an hour outside.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
Yeah, it's crazy. It's like what they've done to that city in a short amount of time is shocking. I never thought it would go that bad that fast. And it's the way it is now is bizarre. Yeah. I always say that it's like a girl that used to date. She was really cute. But now she does meth and she works for the cartel. What happened to you? The pandemic happened.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
You just remember her from when she was so sweet and cool. Yeah. Well, the pandemic was the reason why the government was able to fuck up that city. The pandemic was just, that was their way to fuck up the city. Dude, there were stacks of bricks on the street. Yeah, stacks of bricks.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
Stacks of bricks that somebody left there hoping someone would throw through windows. Starting riots.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
It's spooky and scary. It's spooky. I don't like to go full Batman on this, but it's like there's evil villains out there that are pulling the strings of the world. And that's real. Those fucking protests are organized, man. People spend a lot of money to organize those things and then put bricks out. The whole thing was designed to disrupt society.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
And then the defund the police bullshit, how anybody bought into that is so crazy. Reform the police, yeah. Train the police better, yeah. But defund them? Are you fucking crazy? Yeah, let's just all not be safe. Are you out of your fucking mind? Do you not know the law of the jungle? Do you not know the real streets? Let me know when your house gets robbed.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
But what makes talent? What do you think it is? Passion.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
I have had so many friends that completely flipped a 180 after they got robbed. 180. They're Trump supporters now. It's crazy. People that were like full-on liberals, and then they get a gun pointed in their face, and all of a sudden they're like, oh, this is what we signed up for? You're just letting these people out? You arrest these people and let them out? And then they just do it again?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
And they get arrested? What the fuck? The assistant to the DA in New York just got attacked, just got by some guy who had been – see if you can find this. He got robbed by some guy who had been arrested some insane amount of times since 2023. I was looking at the story online. I was like, this is so crazy that this person just keeps getting out and keeps robbing people.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
And they just robbed the assistant to the DA. Alvin Bragg. R-O-R-D-L. Suspected gang member accused of exposing himself robbing Manhattan District. Exposing himself. He pulled his dick out and he robbed him. Exposing himself is funny. Go to the headline. Exposing himself is first. The robbing part, that second. But he showed him his penis. That is unbelievable. Unbelievable.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
Brandon Samosa confronted the 38-year-old victim in the hallway of her building on West 44th Street around 2 a.m. Authorities say he grabbed the victim's purse, cell phone, and bank card before exposing himself. He pulled his dick out after he robbed her. He robbed her first, but they put it exposing himself for the most horrible thing that he did.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
Police were able to track the phone and eventually arrest him near a hotel on West 45th Street, 8th Avenue on Tuesday, leading authorities to believe the suspect is a migrant. Possession of drugs. No, they know who the guy is, Jamie. They caught the guy. See if you can find a more updated version of it. Because he was arrested a ton of times since 2023.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
Jesus Christ. That's the world we're living in now, and that's L.A., and that's New York, and that's a lot of places that got fucked up by incompetent people.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
What I don't feel safer is right now they're launching missiles into Russia. How are you allowed to do that when you're on the way out? The people don't want you to be there anymore. This should be some sort of a pause for significant actions that could potentially start World War III. Maybe that would be a good thing that we would like to avoid from a dying former president.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
Zelensky says Putin is terrified. Fuck you, man. Fuck you people. You fucking people are about to start World War III.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
I feel like they fired an intercontinental ballistic missile for the first time ever. It's the first time one of those has ever been used. It's insanity. It's fucking insanity because those intercontinental ballistic missiles can have nukes on them. This one didn't.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
But if it does, the whole world changes and it changes because the military industrial complex and it changes because the money that's going to Ukraine and it changes because the outgoing president or whoever the fuck is actually running the country has decided to do something fucking insane. Fucking insane. And we're all sitting there watching it and people are cheering it on.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
CNN was saying, like, finally. See what their headline was about Zelensky using, about Biden giving Zelensky the ability to use long-range missiles. U.S. made long-range. It's not like nobody knows where they came from. It's not like nobody knows we've been funding this. It's a proxy war. The whole thing is fucking insane. It's insane. Right. Come to the negotiation table. Sit down. Work this out.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
Stop killing everybody. U.S. allows Ukraine to use long-range missiles. So what did they say? Someone had said that, like, CNN was saying that it was a good thing, which I think is how. How has the left gone so far crazy that they think it's a good thing to launch missiles?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
That's what's scary about life is you don't want to pay attention to that shit. You just want to live your life. You want to just be carefree and have fun and do the thing that you're passionate about. And meanwhile, the world is burning. And you're just hoping it doesn't get you.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
Well, we can. We voted Trump in and his idea is to stop all this shit and hopefully he can do that. Yeah. But, you know, man, fuck. It's scary.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
Well, as soon as he got elected, the Taliban said, let's form a truce. Hamas is saying, let's cease fire. Everybody is saying these things right away. China was saying, we'd like to do business with America. Russia was saying that. Let's fucking calm everybody down and stop being so fucking tribal.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
You're so crazy that you think that everything the left is doing is right because you're on the left. This is insanity. And for anybody that's a left-wing progressive person to think that somehow or another missiles are a good thing, God damn it. God damn it, you people are out of your fucking minds. How can you think that's the answer? It's never the answer.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
This is craziness, especially with Russia. God damn. Yep. But anyways. That's the shit that keeps me up at night, man. Oh, I know. When I get paranoid late at night when everyone's asleep, that's the thing that gets me. World War. Yeah. The war just, because it's happened before, man. The world has been at peace before and then all of a sudden chaos. And to think that that can never happen again.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
You're wrong. It's happening right now. It's just not happening here. And we don't feel it here. So it doesn't affect our thinking process. And we support things that could lead to it happening here. And we don't even realize we're doing it while we're doing it.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
And by the way, everybody wants peace. Everybody wants their children to be happy. Everybody wants to be well fed and healthy. Everybody wants that. Just figure out a way to fucking balance it all out.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
Jesus Christ. We got 60 more days until Trump gets in or whatever it is. How many days is it, Jamie? But who knows? Maybe once he gets in, they'll ramp it up. Who knows? Maybe they'll sabotage his administration. That's what's even more scary. People don't want him in power. And the people that are in power don't want to leave power, and they'll try every way they can to keep it.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
When it came time to make a website, there was no question that we would power it with Squarespace from the intuitive design intelligence that helps to create a bespoke digital identity to the seamless payment options that can help give your customers more ways to pay or the fact that you can measure your end-to-end online performance with powerful website and seller analytics.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
60 days. Keep your fingers crossed. Yeah. Just hope Putin understands what's going on as well. And Zelensky doesn't do anything stupid. But saying that Putin's terrified. God damn it.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
Also, Zelensky, can I get a drug test? Can we just get one drug test before we send you any more money? Like, what are you doing? Are you doing a lot of blow over there? Because this is like blow-like behavior. I'm not responsible for him. I wasn't there. But you know what I'm saying? This is like cocaine-like behavior. Putin's fucking scared, man. Yeah. Putin's terrified. Jacked up. We got him.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
We got him, man. We got him. Like, what are you talking about? He has nuclear missiles, you fucking monkeys. Jesus Christ. It's my chance right now. Jesus Christ. Cause destruction. Yeah. Putin should not have invaded Ukraine. Yes. 100%. But don't start World War III. There's got to be a way to settle this. There must be.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
I've got to put some of this into my music, these feelings and even the conversations we're having. One of my best, my favorite anti-war songs is Ghetto Boys. Fuck a War, Bushwick Bill. Willie D told me he wrote that in 40 minutes.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
Yeah. Kool G. The L Street Blues. Yeah. No, I love Kool G Rap.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
He had a great flow, too. Yeah. Yeah, he had a great flow. Yeah. Yeah, Kool G Rap was awesome.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
I heard he's like a, someone's told me he's a devout religious man now. Really? See if that's true. I always wondered what happened to that dude. That was a guy that I felt like didn't get his due on the world stage. People don't respect him for as good as he really was. Because I would tell some young guys about Coogee Rap, but they don't even know who he is. And I play music in the green room.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
You ever hear the brand new heavies? Like the jazz band when they linked up with a bunch of rappers? The Heavy Rhyme Experience? Have you ever heard that album? Of course. Coogee Rap's Death Threat is the best track ever. On that. I played that shit in the green room of the mothership, and everyone's like, what is this, man? Yeah, he's saying some shit.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
Yes, he's saying some shit, and it's with the brand new Heavies playing the music. That funky, yes. Fucking tremendous. Jazz. Tremendous. They did a great thing with Gangstar, too.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
They have a great song with Gangstar, too, that's on that.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
That's one of my favorite eras. Nas, you know, Illmatic, Godson.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
Yeah, man. Oh, my God. And how old was he when he made that?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
Really young. One love. Yeah. Genius. How about Rewind? Yeah. Rewind is one of the most genius rap songs of all time. It tells a story backwards.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
Insane. And it's genius. And it's fun. And the flow's great. Mind-melting shit, bro. I think Nas is my all-time favorite lyricist. It's like Nas and then everybody else is like, I mean, I love them all, but to me, Nas is a special lyricist. His lyrics are special. He's got so many oh moments where you're listening to me and you're like, oh, oh.

The way he hits things. You can paint a picture of it. He paints a picture. But the way he chooses his words. Like, we were listening to Get Down last night. Oh, my God. God damn, that's good. That word choice.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
My workout music is Wu-Tang Clan. That's my workout music. Gravel Pit, when you're hitting the bag. And whenever we do shows, we have like a ritual. Like when we're driving to the arena, especially if we're getting a police escort, which is the craziest shit of all time. You're going to do a show and you got a police escort. And we always listen to Protect Your Neck. Like, oh, we got to play it.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
We're on our way to the arena. And then once we get in the door, I'm your boogeyman. KC and the Sunshine Band.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
I'm your boogeyman. Yeah, like just to get everything going. Like, let's go. KC.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
I think you're wasting money because them flowers are going to die. Right. And I got a Bugatti. So to each his own. Bizarre quotes. That doesn't even make any sense. You're getting robbed. Okay. You're getting robbed. Your florist is a piece of shit. Hey, everybody's got their own thing. I know, but you're getting robbed.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
If you're spending that much money on your flowers, you are getting fucking robbed, sir.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
But that's a crazy flex. It's also a weird way to introduce yourself to somebody. Yeah, I had just met him. But isn't that one of those things where you used to be on top and you want to show everybody you're still on top? Just like you were talking about, like wearing the diamonds and the jewelry. Go up to the guy who's hot right now and say, yeah, I saw your MTV Cribs, but guess what?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
Receiving satellite is a great way to put it. Because that's what it feels like. I always say that sometimes I write things. I'm like, I didn't really write that. You blacked out and it got written. Yeah, that came from somewhere else. I didn't have any effort involved in this. It just came to me, like a gift from the gods. That's why they always call it the muse.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
It's a great American story. That's the great American story. Coming from nothing, chasing your dream, making your dream, fucking up your life along the way, but still alive to tell the story.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
Did you ever have a communication with that guy who called you the white devil? No. That was it? That was it. You ever talked to him after that?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
That's a terrible way to think. It's such a terrible way to think that someone, just because of the color of their skin, even though they work with you and you're cool together, that you could just out that person.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
The white devil sells headlines. The white devil gets people feeling better about themselves. I moved to L.A.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
Well, you know the expression. Game recognizes game. Yeah, right? Yeah, that's what it is. People see you, and they hear you, and they see, like, oh, this guy's a wizard. Like, what's going on? Okay. You're staying here for a long time, Scott.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
Because the people that were Shakespeare and those people, they really did kind of feel like it was being given to them.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
Yeah. Well, that's probably good for you too. Yeah. When you disappoint people that you respect and care for. Yeah. That's like – that's a real emotional rock bottom. You know? And that's – sometimes people need that to course correct. If everything is going great, you have no reason to stop doing blow and partying all night. If everything is perfect –
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
And there's a lot of people that will enable you to keep that life going because they're feeding off of you. Misery loves company. There's that. But then there's also people that, like, all they want to do is keep you happy because they make a living off of you. And so they don't want to rock the boat. Right.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
We all do though, right? But doesn't everybody kind of say that when they're being honest? Like anybody who writes anything, whether they write literature, whether they write music, comedy, whatever.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
Right. I mean, I've never done coke, but everybody that I know does coke says you can't perform on it. It fucks you up. You don't feel right.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
So, yeah, there's no real good Coke stories. Not recommended for anybody. Not anybody who's got like a great Coke story. No. Maybe one night. But most Coke stories lead to my life fell apart. No happy ending. No. No happy ending. No, there's no like Coke advocates. There's a lot of marijuana advocates. They'll tell you, marijuana changed my life. Marijuana made me more compassionate. That's me.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
Marijuana made me a kinder person, more sensitive, more into community, more into love. Nobody says that. There's no cocaine fixed my life. My life is kind of a mess. Then I started doing blow. Then, man, it all just came together. I realized that's what I need. I think I'm a little imbalanced. I just need cocaine every day.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
So he was telling you he just had a heart attack, but cocaine is awesome.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
And he's super smart, which is even scarier because you can convince yourself that you're right.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
You can't do anything. That's good. That's good. Hey, man, six months is great. Yeah. Six days is great. The whole thing is just you're going to fall. And if you fall, get up. Get up. It's okay. You're a human being. Human beings fuck up. They make mistakes, especially when you're dealing with something like addiction. And most people think that could never be me. That could never be.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
You're just in that zone. Yeah, downloading satellite. And it's... The thing about it is it's so hard to control. It's just... It comes, it goes, it's there, it's not... What's that water you're drinking? What is this crazy? You know what?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
Well, it seems like you're in a good place. That's great. I'm in a great place, man. That's awesome. That's awesome. Well, I think it's so important for people like you to tell your story raw and unedited like you do. Because I think people want to see a person that's been very successful, and they want to have this rosy face.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
People don't like when someone's talented. And they don't like when someone's successful. Because everybody compares themselves to other people. That's the real problem. Comparison is the thief of joy. Is that Thoreau? Is that who it was? Thomas Jefferson? Yeah, Thoreau is most men lead lives of quiet desperation. But comparison is the thief of joy. That's a real thing, man.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
And if you're a person that's looking at someone else's success and somehow or another wanting to diminish that, you're doing it to yourself. Whether you realize it or not, you are wasting your own – precious life energy on hating on a person. And that will take away your gift. It'll take away your creativity. It'll take away your ability to be present.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
That's why they do it in the first place. Job security. It's a foolish venture. And even if it works, even if it works, you're doing yourself into it because you know you're a piece of shit. You know that you've done that to a person. You know you've distorted who that person is just because you want to feel better about your own life.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
You want someone to falter so that you don't feel, when you're comparing yourself to them, you don't feel inadequate. And that's the reason. It's just pettiness. It's just human weakness. And it's one of its grossest forms. And it's not called out enough. It's a disgusting behavior pattern that's bad for humanity.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
don't like look at it like that because they're selfish but it's haters but that's a good thing and you could say that that's selfish in a way because when you help people and when you're inspired by other people's success and when you enjoy other people's success you are experiencing a positive thing and that positive thing is one of the most important aspects of life like
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
To deny yourself that because you can't control your emotions and you can't control your jealousy and your feelings and to, like, hate on someone, you're denying yourself an opportunity to feel good. And you could genuinely feel happy for everyone's success and still be successful. It doesn't take away your success at all. It's just a mental trap, and people need to understand that trap. Yeah.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
It is insecurity. But it's also a lack of understanding of how your mind works. How the human mind can play little tricks on you and lay traps for you and how jealousy can rear its ugly head and distort your views.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
Someone was saying that like energy, like people's energy is as infectious as diseases. And when you're around someone that has a great personality and very positive, you get infected by that positivity.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
And when you're around shitheads, like fucking dumbasses who are just thinking a stupid fucking way, you start thinking that way. It's contagious. There's something to it.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
It's the most important thing. It's the most important thing is your community, right? Your family, your friends, your community, the people that you associate with. And if you're associating with shitheads, you're going to have a fucked up experience.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
Yeah. And, like... The anxiety, everything. All the weirdness of people comparing with each other. Who's got the better watch? Who's wearing the nicer shoes? Like, what the fuck are we doing? All over that. It's stupid. It's stupid. That's good. You're smart. You're wiser. Yep.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
But better late than never. Yeah, but you still have the art. You still have the desire for the art.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
That's the American success story. And wouldn't you rather that than at the height of your fame with the party and the drugs and the fucking chaos and the falling apart? It's better to just embrace the art.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
Yeah, I just have the song. I can Google it or something. No, it's all good.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
So when you say you're getting inflammation in your hands, like carpal tunnel type?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
It's different. No, not different. Not like she's copying Amy Winehouse, but like that vibe of authenticity. Yeah.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
Do you ever use CBD? Huh? Do you ever use CBD or turmeric?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
I love that that's happening today. Yeah. They've kind of taken the gatekeeper. The gatekeeper is out of the equation now. Yeah. All something has to do is be good and get it online.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
I want to get a hold of Drake and talk to him about his fight picks. That motherfucker loses more money on fights.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
Wasn't Jon Jones a 600-to-1 favorite? I mean, well, he had it by KO. It wasn't just a win, but yeah. Well, that's what I would have said anyway. I would not have thought Jon would have. I mean, that's an easy bet.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
So, yeah, it haunts me. You're meeting someone you respect. If I only didn't hook up with that earring. You want to make a good impression and you get her ear ripped off. Yeah. Yeah.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
Yeah. So your favorite thing seems to be breaking new people then. Is it because you get to show the world new talent? Does it remind you of you when you were getting your breaks?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
Oh, the Sun Life place in California. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, I do.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
That's beautiful. Scott, it's been great talking to you, man. I really appreciate it. I appreciate you coming down here. It's been a lot of fun. Thanks, man. Wow, we did three hours already. It's close, like two and a half hours now. That's crazy. I could talk, right? Yeah, man. Well, you got good stories. You got a good story, and you have a good story. Your story is a good story.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
And like I said, I think it's a great story for people to hear. That's why people like biographies. People like to find out, was it easy for you? Why am I struggling? What is this struggle like? Is it the same for everybody? When you're struggling yourself, you think you're alone. And when you have a dream and you don't know if it's going to come true, you go, was everybody like this?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
Nothing. Nothing. Thank you for having me. My pleasure, brother. Pleasure to meet you. Pleasure to hang with you. My man. Appreciate you very much. Sure. All right. Bye, everybody. Bye.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
That's great. I've graduated. I was trying to tell you about your hands. If you're getting inflammation and you're taking hydrogen water, hydrogen water would be great. But if you really want to cut it down, what we were talking about earlier is the way to cut it down. Stop eating things that give you inflammation. That's the big one. That'll change everything.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
Cut out all the sugar in the bread, and you'll be amazed at how well you feel. Bread.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
I love watermelon and apples. Do you take any sort of electrolytes?
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
Gatorade. I'm just trying to help you with your hands.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
Like liquid IV or something like that? Something, yeah. I don't even know. There's a bunch of those that are really good. But, yeah, that's, you know, you could take care of that. Like, obviously, your fingers are still working. But if you're starting to feel, like, real discomfort, there's some things you could do. CBD is a big one. CBD helps so much.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
My friend Dave Foley, he had arthritis to the point where his hands were, like, totally curled. Couldn't straighten his hands out. He started taking CBD, and it all went away. That's crazy. Yeah. The benefits of... And it's incredible. It really is incredible. The diet is a big one, too.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
The difference is the CBD, you can isolate just the CBD and they can make it in much higher concentrates. Oh, really? Yeah. I love this shit. When I have muscle soreness, there's a CBD. No affiliation. CBDMD has this product called Freeze. It's 3,000 milligrams CBD. It's a roll-on. It's a roll-on.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
gummies and oils and cbd is fantastic anytime you can eliminate inflammation in your life that's good yeah whether it's your personal life or your body just eliminate all the so many people tell me this wave of like sea moss sea moss yeah like people like there's the benefits of are you hearing about sea moss jamie i've heard of it yeah you're hearing about people eating it uh i don't know Yeah.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
You like a little grit on your hardwood floor. Yeah. Yeah, no.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
I don't know. I haven't tried it. I'm a big believer in ribeyes.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
Medium rare. I love that. Butterfly with a char. Yeah, I'm not really into your sea moss. I've never tried the shit, but everybody's like, you should do sea moss. Most of that shit is starvation food. Really? Yeah. Yeah, people eat it when they couldn't find fish. If you could find fish, you ate a fucking fish. Why would you eat that stupid moss? I think that's what most vegetables are.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
Most vegetables are starvation food. Yeah. I fuck with salads.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
I just like oil and vinegar. Olive oil and vinegar is all I like on salads. But I like salads. I eat salads. I'm not religious about it, but I know that when I'm only eating meat and steak and eggs, I feel way better. It's just like everything feels like it's in tune. My brain works better. My body feels more relaxed. It's it's a tangible thing. When I eat a lot of bullshit, I feel it.
The Joe Rogan Experience
#2233 - Scott Storch
How did you get started? Huh? How did you get started making beats?
