Joe Rogan & Macaulay Culkin on Johnny Depp

Like, you know, I wish you with that. Yeah. Oh, no, I don't have to wear a backpack, though. That's why it's weird. What's this? Mickey Rourke? Oh, we have a Tom Perk. Yeah, he's got what are those called? Clutch. Yeah, yeah, that looks more like a clutch. Yeah, but he's so eccentric. I met him this past weekend. He had a crazy cowboy. We're looking at a picture of Mickey Rourke. He had a crazy cowboy hat on and he's just. Yeah, he's he seems like a cook. I mean, you can see that picture, like that belt buckle like boy, like that was, you know, that's something like, you know, like. Yeah. And he's just an odd duck all around. Yeah. What did I? So it reminds me, it was an old Onion article and it's one of my favorite headlines and it was Johnny Jep found to be 90 percent scarfs. Yeah, he got like way scarfy after the whole pirate movie. Yeah, yeah, he went straight scarf like one of the rest of his life kind of thing. He's like, yeah, he really he really committed to that scarf thing. When you're a beautiful man like that, it's an odd transition to being like a 55 year old. I think it's like what's up with Johnny Jep lately? Not good things. I know. It's really strange. Actually, they just this morning, they delayed or like actually like or canceled. He has a notorious B.I.G. movie coming out that he's in with Forest Whitaker and it was supposed to come out next month and they just pulled it from the schedule and they haven't like even said that it's ever going to come out or something. And it's like and even just looking at pictures of him, like it kind of just like there's something off about him. Like hanging out with Doug Stanhope. He used to be really great. He used to be. Would you do to him, you fuck? I don't even know who that is. Doug Stanhope, one of the best standup comedians ever. There you go. He's more of a Stephen Wright fan myself. Me too. Yeah, yeah. No, that's even right. But I think I think Johnny's just he hit that weird spot where you're just too fucking famous. You can't go anywhere. Where you were when you were little, I'm sure. Yeah. But you can coast now, right? You can go places. Yeah, like how how rich is rich enough? Like, dude, like, like, yeah, that's what I mean. It's not just that, but he spends. He owns 14 houses. He owns an island. Millions and millions of dollars. Didn't he spend like five billion dollars shooting Hunter S. Thompson's ashes out of the cannon? Yeah. They asked him, didn't you spend a million dollars? No, of course not. I spent three million dollars. That's what they asked him about his wine habit. They said your attorney said that your wine habit is $30,000 a month. And he goes, that's an insult. It's far more than that. Far, far more than that. No, that's what I mean. Like, how like, you know, like, all right, cool. Like, I guess he has to maintain, you know, that lifestyle. Well, that's what he wants for himself. That's what he's doing. That's his life. His life is spending all that money. Yeah. Like his whole life is doing movie. That's what he's earning. You know, people, though, also when they're involved in laborious projects that they're not really interested in, you know, when you're when you're doing something all day and I say this is a guy who hosted Fear Factor. Oh, yeah, that you don't really enjoy doing while you're doing it. You're like, OK, time to go to work. I mean, I was very thankful to have the job. Don't get me wrong. But the reality is it was not enjoyed. It wasn't a fruitful endeavor. It wasn't like working for the UFC or doing stand up comedy or even doing a podcast. Yeah, it wasn't a passion project. Exactly. So when you do something like that, like people on bad sitcoms in particular, they spend all their fucking money. They go crazy. Yeah. Because the only thing that they look forward to is what am I going to do with this money? What's the reward in a biophorari? Yeah. I'm going to buy a mansion. I'm going to buy an island. And that's I think that's what Johnny got into. Yeah, I couldn't see myself like doing a sitcom or television show kind of thing. Like, what about a good sitcom? A good one. I do. Like News Radio is a fantastic show. Like that must have been that. That must have been like a fruitful endeavor. The reason why I never did another one. Yeah, exactly. You don't want to ruin that experience. Every other one that came along was like, this is shit. Well, they pursued me for me for Big Bang Theory. Oh, Christ. You got lucky. Skip that. And I said like, no, I said like that because it was kind of like the way the pitch was was kind of just like, all right, these two like astrophysicist nerds. And then a pretty girl lives with them. You winks like, you know, and like that was that was the pitch. And it was like, yeah, it was like, and they're like, oh, we're going to get some real like physicists to like, you know, do the math. And I said, like, yeah, no, I said, I'm cool. Like, thanks. And then they came back at me again and I said, no, no, like, I'm like again, flattered, but like, no. And then like then they came back at me again. And like even my manager was like twisting my arm. And I was like, come on, I want the piece of this Macaulay. Listen, I'd have hundreds of millions of dollars right now. Like if I did that gig at the same time, I'd be bashing my head against the wall. That's the thing. I think that's what Johnny Depp's doing. And he can't really be into those pirate movies. Yeah, no, he's just he's interested. And that's the thing is that like he wasn't always like that. Like he was like right now, it's like all about the money right now. This is a thing I read an article with an interview with him. It was about two decades ago. And he was talking about, you know, he was in his 30s and he was doing a lot of weird, obscure movies like he was that movie Dead Man, that black and white. Yeah, the search. Yeah. Yeah. He did a lot of weird shit. And he said, this is kind of what I really like. And I don't I'm not blockbuster boy, which is what he said. No, it's just so ironic. It's just so ironic. Now he's fucking blockbuster boy. Yeah. No, he goes, yeah. Like if you're if I'm ever part of a franchise, like just shoot me or something. Oh, right. Just like, yeah, they're pulled up these weird like old quotes. Yeah, it was a it's like the George Lucas, like when he he testified before Congress about the colorization of movies and talking about how movies are are part of our heritage. And, you know, they shouldn't be tampered with. And then he goes back to like 25 years later, he's going back and redoing his movies. It's like, you know, like once you put art out there, like leave it alone. Leave it alone. It's not yours anymore. Yeah. Like that's the thing. Like once you show like your paintings, like that's not yours anymore. That's the world's. That's an interesting way of looking at it. I mean, don't think it's theirs anymore. Imagine imagine you really are eventually like, like just all of a sudden came back into existence right now and he wants to change the Mona Lisa. She's fat. Yeah. I kind of didn't get the you know, I didn't I didn't get the smile right. I don't like her eyes. Exactly. Look at her hair. It's all pulled back and shit. I want to see it. So should he be able to change it? I want to give her some fucking jewelry. Yeah. Well, I never finish the eyebrows. I want to give a big tits. I want to push them together. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. It's my fucking painting. Yeah, exactly. I met Leonardo da Vinci as a modern Italian. Yeah, I know. I love it. It's like, come on. I want big tits with fucking glitter. It's like he's like he's living on like Mulberry Street and like in Italy. Hey, pizza. Yeah, like a fake lips. That's what I want. Give me some claims. Casino. Hey, hey, hey, this fucking broad. Look at her.
