Joe Rogan Riffs on English and Irish Accents

When I heard that Adam and Eve story I was like, yeah right, maybe Adam was a bitch. Maybe he blamed it on Eve and he wrote, he was the guy who could write, so he wrote things down. He's like, Eve ate the apple, I didn't do shit. I listened. I'm a good listener. He probably ate the apple first. He probably gave it to Eve. You know, history's written by the winners. This is correct. And a lot of women just, they let that shit go. Just like, let them talk. Yeah, write down that I ate the apple. Fuck you. And he's like, fuck you. Yep. Adam and Eve. I don't see Adam and Eve having that New York accent. Where the hell did he get it? New York wasn't there yet. I feel like Adam and Eve would talk like British people. Because anytime they have a movie where people talk like old timey, whether it's Gladiator or whatever, everyone talks with an English accent. You ever notice that? If we have to, right? If we have to, there's like the suspension of disbelief. Like we don't know Latin. They're talking Latin. Who the fuck knows what that sounded like, right? So when you watch some old ass movie about people talking Latin, they'll speak English. But they'll speak it with an English accent. Right? They'll only speak proper. They always have some weird old timey way. They're not going to watch the movie. You never watch the movie otherwise. Right. But you're right. But why is that? Because it's got to make it watchable. That's why they ruin stories anyway. But to English people, is that played out like Eleanor's are played out to him? Do you know what I'm saying? Like to English people, they hear that accent every day. That's a normal accent. But to us, it's like, oh, this is like an old timey language. And English people are like, why is Russell Crowe talking like he's from fucking London? This is bullshit. Yeah, I got a friend of mine, Big Chris, and he likes to say, well, we invented the English language. And I'm like, yeah, and he fucked it up. Yeah, you guys made it so that people don't understand it. That's stupid. That's not smart. We made it better. We really did. I need to say that. My rebuttal to him was like, oh, yeah. Well, somebody from your town still trying to be a rapper. In their defense, though, they will always say to you like, yeah, but listen, you guys respect our language more than you respect yours. And it's true. Like American English is not as respectable as English English, because that's why they use those English people to sell like late night mops and shit. Right. Oh, they do. Don't they do fucking nonstick frying pans. It's always a man with a proper accent. Look at this. I can just fry these eggs and they slide right onto the plate. I'm amazing. Unbelievable. And look, I'm going to throw a bag of nickels in there and scratch it up. No, not a scratch. If that was a guy from Jersey that was selling you that, you'd be like, look at this asshole trying to lie to me about his bullshit frying pan. Right. And his fucking shitty mop. But something about like English accents get us for sure. They have a better. They have a more respectable version of our language, but ours sounds better. You could say it easier. I understand it. They understand us. We don't always understand them. I was literally just on a phone call with a lady in Europe before I got in here and I couldn't understand the word she was saying. The thing is, though, here's where I'm wrong. Here's where I'm wrong. They understand each other. They fucking they'll start. I was in Belfast, Northern Ireland, which is you might as well be in the Cantina scene and Star Wars. These motherfuckers, they barely speak English. They speak English for sure. They understand each other 100 percent. But to me, I was talking to this guy and he was drunk out of his fucking mind. We were drinking dark beer. Just me and this dude. This is like early 2003, early UFC, UFC in Dublin. I remember this guy saying, I'll fight any man who's hammered. I'll fight any man. I'm telling you, Joe, how to fucking show them how show them right now. He said to him, he was making perfect sense. All I caught was I'll fight any man. This motherfucker might have said that a hundred times. We just kept buying drinks, hammered with me and some dude from with Belfast. We understood like 20 percent of what each other was saying. You got to use the translate thing on your phone. It wouldn't work. I'd fight any man. Oh, what is this called? This guy. Play on the Internet. The machine is down on this Internet shit. The computers. You're saying how you want to skip the kill. This guy's so good to fight me. The only kill same you be skipping is the kill to the hospital. If you put all the other pisses aside to see to you and get a finished with it, if you come out and fight me, you know, now imagine being hammered post UFC event, trying to mingle with the locals. We're drinking dark beer and whiskey. There's maybe 30 people around me that are yelling like that. And I'm talking this dude. So all the people around me who are fucking drunk, no one knew. No one knew what anybody next time was saying. Everybody's loud and hammered. And this guy is fucked up. And he's telling me this. How to fight honey, man. And I'm like, okay, you go fight him. What's up? Funny. We've we've pulled up this video before that exact guy. I had an old video a long time ago. What is this one? This is really old. You talking about this? Oh, me tell me about this guy. That's hilarious. Here he is right here. That's like fucking eight years ago or some shit. What is that from? You got two things playing at the same time. I don't know. That's from an old desk. There's something going on in the background. Did you hear it? Yeah. Oh, there's a damn I had a beard back then. That's the same guy. That's hilarious. Now that's like pikey language, right? Yeah, I guess. I mean, it says the first video I pulled up said he was from, I think I typed in Belfast or something. But here's the thing. Here's where I'm wrong. They fucking understand each other 100%. They understand every word they say. So I'm wrong. I just, I'm just not in that environment. Watch you hang out and you'll get it. It's got a flavor though. They have a flavor that we don't have. Right. That's a dark old world flavor. Hi, listen, mate. That's a fucking dude who just came over on a boat and he's shooting arrows at people. They kept that same language. And they're always looking to fight.
