The Joe Rogan Experience.
Train by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day. Yes, sir, Michael. Good to see you, my friend.
Thanks for having me and really appreciate you showing me around. Wow, what a space you've created, man. Thank you. That's so cool. Keeps going. I was excited to show you the picture of my sauna. Yeah. And then you show me you got an archery. It's so cool, man.
Thank you. That's so cool. It's fun. We were just singing Jon Stewart's praises before this started. But I'm so happy he's back at The Daily Show. And I'm so happy he makes fun of everything. And I'm so happy he still makes dick jokes.
Yeah.
You know, it's fun. It's like the Daily Show seems like the Daily Show again. Like, that guy's a very unique dude. Very unique person. And one of the most important, like, pieces to, like, unify everybody. He's reasonable. Like, he gets the whole big picture. Like, let's stop being so fucking ridiculously tribal.
In the morning meeting, he'll come in and we're all sitting there, the writers, and he just kind of shuts the door behind him and we start talking. But it's like a conversation with a college professor, but he's in charge. And it's beautiful. All sides. This. I disagree with that. What about this? And it's like, oh, wow, it's really fun to be a part of.
And then someone will yell out a dick joke, and then that joke will make it to the show, too. It's like smart things and dumb things. That's beautiful.
Well, he's never abandoned being a real comic. Correct. Which is what got him to the dance in the first place. So he always has those instincts. And he's the very best... at holding a line and making something even more preposterous just with a facial expression and pointing out these fucking unbelievably ridiculous in-your-face hypocrisies that we see every day from both sides.
