Joe Rogan - Macaulay Culkin "I'm Very Lucky!"

What were you doing? So what was this movie in Thailand? It was my buddy Seth Green. He wrote and directed a movie. And so he asked me to do something in it. And you know, like I don't really pursue acting at all kind of thing. And I'm not saying it was a favor or anything like that. But at the same time it was like, yeah, it sounds like fun. So it's a cool cast. It's like him. He's in it. Breckenmayer's in it. Brenton Song. Me. So do you just like do whatever you want these days and just occasionally act when it comes up? Yeah, if it comes up, like, you know, if it's a cool, like neat little gig or something like that, like, yeah, sure. But like I said, I don't pursue it in any kind of like, any way. Like I don't have agents anymore and things like that. Is that because you're just not interested or? Yeah, kind of not interested. I don't really like the pursuit of it. You know, like, yeah, like what it takes to- The whole process, auditions, meetings. Exactly. I don't like being on the circuit kind of thing. I'm looking at it. So, but yeah, no, I, you know, I write a lot. I paint a lot. Like I just kind of always have like some kind of projects. And then also, like I said, we've got the website, bunnyears.com kind of thing. And what is that? That is a, it's a comedy website. It's pretty much like, like, you know, how all these celebrities, especially like ladies, they have those lifestyle websites. All of them? Well, a lot of them do, you know, like, yeah, like Goop, you know, is one of them. Yeah, that's the one that I know of. Is there other ones? Oh, yeah, yeah. No, it's like, yeah, it's- The Goop one's the most egregious though. Yeah, that's the, well, that's the thing is that, so this is, this is like Goop meets the onion. Uh, so- Goop is like Goop meets the onion. Yeah, I know. Well, yeah, but accidentally, you know, yeah. They're telling you to put jade balls up your vagina. I know. Believe me, we had a- I have sex on a beach in a hot, wait, hold on. What is that? Does it just do that thing? Oh, annoying. Yeah, yeah. I'd have sex on a beach in a hot tub and other things that seemed fun as a virgin. Mm-hmm. It's Hannah Michaels. She's a, or Hannah, she's a fantastic writer. You have a little scroll and things like that. So you have a podcast as well? Yeah, we do a podcast also. And we're revving up some more like video content and things. But, yeah- So this is just a fun project for you? Yeah, it's got a lot of really great writers, like comedy writers and stuff. And, you know, it's kind of just like, oh, like there's an article about a jade egg. Like, oh, I put a jade egg up by vagina and I catch a jade bird, you know, like that kind of thing. And then like, you know, what to do about your bird living in your vagina now. It's like, you know what I mean? We're kind of like taking the piss out of like, you know, some of these kind of like lifestyle-y websites. Right. You know, it's like, you know, they'll have articles like on Goop about like, oh, the best Cabernet's like for like $200 or something like that. And it's like ours is like the best bourbon's under, you know, $20. But then like it turns, the spelling gets worse and worse. And then it turns into a rant about your ex-girlfriend, you know, like, things like that. It's some really good stuff. Like I said, we have a really, really great team of people. And yeah, it's kind of like I said, taking the piss out of things. Right. So you just decided to do this just for fun. Yeah, I kind of had this idea with kind of like kicking it around and so forth. And then I felt like I kind of accumulated enough ideas. And then, yeah, then I started kind of vault-roning it, like just grabbing this, assembling, you know, like this, this, this, you know, this, this project, this giant, giant robot, you know, yeah. So there you go. It's a lot of fun. And it's, it is funny. Like we have, like I said, there's actually, look, those articles are really well written. Like we have one about, do you see Infinity War? The Avengers? Yeah, the Avengers one. No, I didn't see it. Okay. Yeah. Good. Oh, it's fantastic. It's fantastic. But we made our own Infinity Gauntlet. And what happens, spoiler alert, is like a lot of the people kind of just vanish, like they kind of just die, like, you know, they turn into dust in the movie, in the movie at the end. So like when you start reading the article, all of a sudden, just all the words just start vanishing. And then like, you know, and then you have to go back and like, it's like, even like the letters, like we actually had a, we did one where it was a ransom letter. One of our writers, she, her father is actually the therapist for Goop, like the actual like psychiatrist, the official one. So we do pass their own therapist. Yeah, you know, yes. But is it like a weekly advice therapist? Or is it just like therapy just for being on Goop? Like, I know you're here because you're a mess. So here, just read this, read this. It's okay. So we're here for you. So we got pictures of him bounding gagged. And it's like, dear Goop, like we, we kidnapped your therapist. You can only get him back if you give us your seven hot tips for, you know, yeah, like, for facial washes for this summer. Like, and you know what, they actually good on them. They responded and they actually like sent us over like a list of like, here the hot like kind of like, I was like, you know, good for them. Like they had a sense of humor about the whole thing. Like, I think they have to they're called Goop. Yeah, we almost we thought about naming ours pug. Probably Sue. Yeah, I know. I was like, no, no, no. So, um, so you're basically financially set from all those movies. So I do okay for myself. But do you just put that money away and just live off the interest? Pretty much. Pretty much. And yeah, I'm able to kind of live the life that you know, like that, that my circumstances afforded me. I'm like I said, I'm very, very, very lucky. You know, lots of weird things happen to kids all the time, all around the world every day. You know, I have something to show for it. You know, like, yeah, like, you know, so it's nice. I can live. It's a my buddy, Jackie, goes, yeah, that's a weird way to describe a movie career. Yeah, pretty much weird things happen to kids. Yeah, man. I got some money out of it. Look, I'm not working like the diamond mines. I'm not a child soldier. You know what I mean? Like, you know, I got like, I came up the other end. And I have something to show for it. And I'm very like, I do feel blessed every morning kind of thing. So you're happy that it all worked out that way. Yeah. Yeah. You can go back and do it again when you do it the same way. Knowing what I know now. I mean, probably, you know, I probably, yeah, I probably be even more charming. I do it just better. Of course you would, right? Yeah, exactly. Do it now. Yeah. Imagine if you just have your brain and a little kid's body. Yeah, I know. I would kill it grade school. I would so kill it like in school. Like, oh, psychological warfare. They wouldn't know what's coming. Yeah. Those little fucks. Yeah. I was, I was still a little brains up in knots. Oh, exactly. No, it would, that would be great. I'm pretty sure that's what a 30 going on 13 was. Right. And then goes that Jennifer Gardner movie. Yeah. I have no idea what any Jennifer Gardner movies are. Well, you know, now you do. Yeah. Like a brain swap one. Kind of. Yes. But like, but she like, yeah, her, her, her adult brain goes into her. When she's 13, freaky Friday. So it's kind of a freaky Friday with some time travel, I guess. Uh-huh. So yeah. So you're gonna, you're gonna, you're gonna Netflix it tonight, aren't you? Nope. I could tell. I could, I could see it. I, I, I, you've been thoroughly charmed by, uh, Jennifer Gardner. That's an interesting life you have then. You, so you just kind of do whatever you want. Yeah. My friend Jack says I'm a man of leisure. That's the way he describes like my life and lifestyle. That's a good way to describe it. Yeah, it's true. And like, I kind of like, yeah, kind of, um, you know, spend some time just like jumping around like Europe or something like that, like, you know, and just like, yeah. Yeah. Well, you lived in Paris you were saying? Yeah. Yeah. Lived there for a number of years. I mean, I still have, I still have my place there, but, uh, since like, like 2013, something like that, it's only in the last year I've been kind of spending more time in the States. What was it that brought you to Paris? Well, the food sucks, the wine's terrible, and the women are ugly, but, uh, but otherwise it's, it's fantastic. Yeah. No, it's okay. It was an agreeable lifestyle. I had a bunch of friends out there. There was always asking me, uh, when are you going to move to Paris and when are you going to learn French? What are your friends in Paris? Yeah. Yeah. And, uh, I was there just kind of like, I was just kind of jumping around a little bit. And so, um, I thought about it for a second and I went, you know what? How's next week? So I said, I'm going to leave my bags here. I'm going to fly back to New York. I'm going to going, you know, I'll, uh, put my affairs in order. And I said, I'll be back next week. I said, I'll, I'm ready to live here. I mean, I realized that if I could pick up and just move to France on a whim, um, and it wouldn't affect like, you know, like anyone's life or it wouldn't hurt anybody or anything, I'd be remiss if I didn't. Like, you know what I mean? Like, yeah, like how many times am I like, I couldn't do that now, but I could do it back then kind of thing. So I was like, yeah, like, no, I should just fuck it. Like I'm, I'm good. I'm going to live in Paris now. And it was, it was great. It was a lot of people have done that. Johnny Depp lived there for a little while. I know Richard Bells lived there for a while. No, it's, it's a special place. I mean, what's special about it? Um, I mean, again, food and wine is fantastic. Like the girls are pretty, like it's the leisurely kind of like lifestyle a little bit. Like I like, I like their eating habits. You know, like it's like a light breakfast and it kind of gets heavier as you kind of go along in the day. You kind of eat later, which is kind of like, you know, like, like, oh, you're American, you must want to eat dinner at like eight. What time are they? Like 10, you know, like 10 p.m. Yeah, about 10 p.m. is like, you know, kind of a, you know, an ideal like dinner kind of time. They don't like to work hard either, right? I mean, no, I mean, they, I mean, they work. I mean, I think, you know, but they like to take their time and yeah, everything is like, yeah, it's like, you know, I'll set up a card game for like 330, like in 330 means like five, you know, that's just the way like everyone's kind of always late, but it's no big deal. That's the thing is, I remember one time kind of like, oh gosh, like, you know, just like, where are they kind of, and then I realized, I'm like, wait, what is the hurry? Like for real, like, what is the hurry? Like, it's like I have other plans. My plan is to hang out like, you know, with you guys. And so, and all of a sudden, like stress would just kind of just melt away. I'm like, yeah, like, look, you can just be more leisurely and stuff about things out there. And everyone's like, yeah, like I said, it's really cool. They like Americans out there. That's a misconception that they don't like. They don't like the loud obnoxious Americans with the, you know, Mickey Mouse t-shirt and the fanny packs and stuff. Yeah, no, you do. Did you say fanny packs? How dare you? I did.
