Joe Rogan on What It's Like to Tour with Dave Chappelle

Yeah, I've ate some weird stuff. Yes, yes, yes, yeah. That's fair. Yeah. I don't know if I buy it. I investigate everything I eat. No, never. Dave Chappelle gave me some edibles the other day. I don't know where the fuck they came from. If he's eating it, I mean it, bro. I'm in a bag. He probably made it himself. I'm pretty sure he ate mushrooms from a fan the other day. That's so gangster. That's so hardcore. We went to see Once Upon a Time in America at one o'clock in the morning. Dave rented out the entire movie theater. We do this fucking sold out show in the Tacoma Dome. We break the all time attendance record for the Tacoma Dome. 25,000 people. It was madness, right? We're flying high. It's insane. It was an insane show. Who opens for you guys? Well, it's Ashley Barnhill. She goes on. She does 10 minutes. And then Ian Edwards goes on. Monster. Murders it. And then I go on, murdered it. It was a fucking crazy intermission. There's a DJ. He's got a hype man. Chooka, chooka, chooka, chooka. People get drinking fucking lights and everything. It's madness. OK, then Donnell Rawlings goes on. Murders. Murders. Then Dave goes on, lights the place on fire, pisses gasoline on the flames. Then afterwards he and I go on stage together. And we take Q&A with the crowd. Donnell's got a microphone. He's going to the crowd with 20 fucking 5,000 people. People are rushing the stage. It's madness. I mean, madness. What questions did you get? I was so... Random. Everyone's drunk. I'm sure Dave hates that. The show is five hours old by the time this is happening. Wow. I'm not exaggerating. We go on stage. The show's supposed to start at eight. It probably starts at 8.30. 9, 10, 11, 12. The show is at least three and a half, four hours old by the time it was over. So the show ends like 12.30ish. We go immediately from the arena straight to a movie theater that Dave had rented out. We have a private screening of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood at one o'clock in the morning with daisy mushrooms that some fucking guy gave him in the crowd. Did you eat them too? No. Too smart for that man. No. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Is that us up there? Yeah. Wow. Bro, it was nuts. It was nuts. Did you like the movie? Long. Long at one in the morning though. We got out of there 4.30 in the morning. Then we get on a jet in the morning. At 10 we fly to Salt Lake City and immediately everybody gets an IV vitamin drip. That Dave set up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. B12 shots. These motherfuckers go rock style. Professional. Rock star style. Professional. Dave's got sunglasses on the entire time. The whole crew has a posse with him. He brings his own photographer. It was madness. Legend. I was like, okay, I see how you guys are doing it. Oh, by the way, we get picked up at the airport in a tour bus. It takes a tour bus, 10 minutes in a tour bus to the airport or from the airport to the hotel. And you're flying privately. I assume. Why drive around an SUV? We could drive in a fucking tour bus. That's for fucking. It's hilarious. Wow. So much fun. How did this go? But this was what I was wondering. So were you and Dave at the store and Dave was like, who asked who? Like you're both Titans. Dave called up my, well he called up his agent and I want to do a show with Joe Rogan. And then his agent calls up my agent and they call me and I go, I'm in. Let's do it. And then did you guys text that like, yo, it's going down. No, we didn't even tell business. It's all business. Just met at the arena. Well, look, I love that guy. So you guys know each other and you see each other. So he says, you know, when they say it, I'm like, yeah, let's do it. It sounds like an awesome idea. And I'm free that weekend. Great idea. It was only like five weeks out. The show sells out in 24 hours. He doesn't have social media. No. Because the thing is that since he doesn't have social media and I do, it like magnifies everything because with all the fucking people that I have, seven million on Instagram and five million on Twitter and two million on Facebook, it's like, oh, that shit. And then the, I don't think I mentioned it on the podcast. We didn't think I heard it. I don't think we had to. You didn't have to. It's so that secret shows that sell out in like 30 seconds. Exactly. Well, he does a lot of clubs and theaters and does whatever he wants. He said he's a free bird. You know what I'm saying? He's free. He just does whatever he wants. He wears his own clothes too. He does. You notice that? He's on his show. Isn't that great? Oh, I love it, man. I fucking love it. He's living wild, man. It's beautiful. Are you guys going to do more together? Fuck yeah. Where are you scheduling them? I can't say anything because they're not so cool. We had a great goddamn time. Can I tell you what drives me nuts? And this for any artists out there, your guys is art. And I, I text you this. You two take this everyone. You two are fucking legends, man. For you two to get together and do shows is insane. And to use like a shit that me or Callen used to promote the shows drove me nuts. That's nonsense. It's not though, Joe. For the fans, if you get a dope fucking artist to do something like you and Dave Chappelle, it's not for you. I'm sure we will. In the future, we will. Any artists, please, man. They ran off some t-shirts in Salt Lake City. Just a small batch for the fuck of it. There's one I sent to Jamie. It's Jay-Z and Eminem in New York. Like two tints come together. Oh man. When I saw what you guys were posting, I was like, Oh, motherfucker. Yeah, you worry about that too much. I don't though. I don't. I'm a fan. And that thing's that that's a history. Well, we'll iron that out because we're going to do a gang more of these. So we'll iron all that shit out. I'm sure Dave cares about it. He don't have social media. No, he doesn't get a funny social media. He doesn't even pay attention. He's the freest guy I've ever met in terms of not being locked into his phone. He didn't even look at his phone. He didn't even have it on him. That's beautiful. I mean, he's got a phone, but he don't look at it. He doesn't fuck with it. He doesn't care. He makes phone calls. You know, it's like he FaceTime people and shit. He's not checking social media at all. Did you learn anything from him just being around him? Well, that is interesting. Well, this is what I learned. There's levels to everything. And he's on this like super celebrity rock star level that's really weird. But he's so nice. He's so like he's so fun to be around. Like part of why Dave is so funny is because he's fun. Like when you're around him, it's not like he's serious. And then he goes on stage and then he's funny. Yeah. No, all day long. It's all day long. It's like legs slapping and looking in the eyes and fucking cracking and high fiving. It's fun, man. He's a fun dude. But he's also, he's very wise. He's wise in his approach. Like for instance, he lives in the middle of Ohio on a fucking farm. And that's by design. Because he doesn't- Get away from all the noise. Yes, to get away from all the fucking noise, man. He wants, you know, he wants peace and quiet mixed in with these intermittent bouts of madness.
