Joe Rogan - Hilarious Jamie Foxx Story!

I mean I've had so many... I wish I knew who told me about you. I wish I could remember. It might have been Tom. Tom? Yeah, Tom probably was Tom. He was pretty... It was a comic. Pretty sure it was a comic. It might have been Tom. He was the first one to re-post one of mine, I think. Maybe that's what it was. I did this show. Oh, I won't come into it. What? I have so many disasters to it where I thought I was like, get ready for the rocket ship Kyle. You better go mansion shopping because things are about to take off and just always something. I did this Jamie Foxx sketch show pilot. And to get a part on a network show, it's a lot of auditions. You climb a mountain to get the role. And I was feeling like this is my last shot and everything and I got there and we couldn't... We weren't allowed to write for ourselves. What? It was a WGA rules or something. And you have a character, no one else can really write for it. And the people that were writing, two of them just got out of prison and they were not comedy writers. Like Jamie Foxx, he has a huge career. He didn't really... I think he just was like, let me give my friends this because I got all this other stuff going. He just didn't give a fuck. He didn't need it. No, you would show up like once a week. No. Yeah. Really? Yeah, he's busy and you come in with glasses, like Shay. And we'd go and we'd read the script and there'd be no ending or seemingly point. And then one time he threw the script in the air. He was like, fuck the script. Do you. You do you. You know, when he walked out and the executives were like, no, you can't do it. You took the script. It was like that. It was like you climb this mountain, there's an Arby's at the top. Just like, I think that's going to be... These writers called me into their office once and they were like, you know, this idea for these guys who never wrote a sketch before. And they're like, this idea that you're Jimmy Bond, you're James Bond. You're Jimmy Bond. All right. And you're in an airplane, right? And like to take it, take it. And the next day I'd be like, yeah. And you order like a soda, like a like a Coca Cola or a Sprite or like a any point like a Mountain Dew, a Mountain Dew or Dicoh. And I'm like, uh-huh. And then that was it. And then I just was sitting there in a dead silence. What? And then we had like the show, which came out very mediocre. When was this sketch show? When was this sketch show? It was what was it called? It was called In Da Flow. It got changed to like something else. And it just became like it was Afion Crockett's show. I was like a cast member or whatever. And then at the end, you know, Fox pays all this millions of dollars. And Afion's going, all Fox cares about is their wallets. But we showed them not realizing we had to wait for a pickup. And I'm just standing on stage thinking this is my last shot to have anything because I was already like 40 and I just was like. Then we go to the wrap party and that whole thing was just. What happened to the wrap? Well, me and Eric Andre is on too. Oh, OK. So we just were like, what's happening? And we go late to the wrap party and we walk in this nice restaurant and Jamie Foxx is standing up and there's a whole big table and he's going down. What's your favorite animal? What's your favorite animal? Everyone's like goose. I mean a rabbit. Like everyone's just scared. And it goes with your second favorite animal. What's your second favorite animal? Oh, my God. Everyone's just terrified. What the fuck? Yeah. And then he goes, he goes, the first animals who you think you are, the second animals who you really are. I told Tom Cruise that and he said it was awesome. Anyway, it's Instagram. Ah, ah, yeah, I have. I'm going to write a book one day just called Humiliated. A long career of ground balls. I've had so many like where I really was going shopping for houses. It had to stop really several like I had this pizza campaign, which was like get ready to like open up several bank accounts. And it was like the big New Yorker pizza. And you know, there's an explosion of flavors as we're shooting. 9.0. This is a campaign of videos. 9-11 happened. As as we're shooting, the explosion. And it was like it was just the wrong vibe to be like, hey, New York, a big explosion of flavors. This whole thing. So they canceled the whole thing. They played like, I don't know, it's like a month. They played a few and then they like dropped it. But it was like, you know, it was I shot four. I got paid like pretty well, but but we're going to do six more. It was going to be like one of those flow from you guys. I was a guy of subway. Yeah. For Pizza Hut. Yeah.
