Joe Rogan - Was JR Smith High During NBA Finals Mistake?

Things I don't like comics that go on stage drunk. I don't like how they they need this alcohol or people that think weed Like you know people that think weed like I don't not saying weed makes you lazy But lazy people shouldn't smoke weed right? I know what you're saying Well as a person who smokes weed it really bothers me because I'm not lazy at all And I just I hate that connection between lazy people and weeds. I don't think that's I don't think that's what makes you lazy No, no, I'm not saying I'm not I agree. That's why I'm saying I'm not saying it makes you lazy No, but if you're already lazy, and then you do this it's not gonna be a winning combination It's not just that it just looks bad and you blame it on the we look at J.R. Smith I think I think that was a weed situation. It's Jared Smith from the from the car You know he don't even know jumps in to press the microphone I know what we're talking about That's the game He did something really stupid it was like two it was like three four seconds left their their tie ball game Right one of their other guys that the free throw line he misses the free throw J.R. Smith grabs the ball instead of putting it up to win the game He dribbles out because he thought that they were up And the look on his face was like that kind of like I've seen this high look I'm not saying he was on weed But I've heard stories that he smokes a lot of weed So and I'm saying like those weed people out there like there's an example of it There are brilliant people that smoke weed there are successful First of all how Jack is LeBron look at those fucking shoulders six nine 250 probably six percent body fat the shoulders on that thirty three years old too, and he's getting better Yes, it's unbelievable shoulders are fucking epic. Yeah, man There's another picture of him like straight on where he literally looks like an Avenger like he could be like some sort of like keep him The fuck away from Jeff Novitski you know look at their picture look at that picture of them right there that one where Josh method smiling dude Weed look on his face. Oh, yeah, he's high as fuck 100% oh, that's a high guy And I think donors understand other stoners I think that he got like he had a little bling a brain slip I guarantee you did you know But when we're paying you 17 million dollars or they paid him off to try to drag it into seven games That's boom that's him yeah, but there's plenty of pictures of me that look like that to where I'm sober They catch you you could just look at Lincoln. You could just look up Jarrus myth high and I'm sure there's a website so he smokes a lot of weed Smoker well there you go well doesn't doesn't it like one of those things the NBA has it in their contract They do test but it's not as stringent as everywhere all the tests for weed But these guys are all getting high For pool for what you know I told you I play pool pool Marijuana is a performance enhancing drug hundred percent. It makes my game I don't believe you you don't have to I'm telling you Well, he does not make your game better it does it makes you more sensitive trust me Oh the reason why basketball players find it better, too It puts them into some sort of a zone now. Are you saying that LeBron James knees weed? No, look there's a lot of pro pool players who are top of the food chain who don't do anything right? But a lot of guys who like it say that weed bumps their game up quite a bit, and I'm one of them It makes me play better. I'm telling you you don't know because you don't smoke weed cool You I didn't you did experiment okay? I want to experiment I want you to play you know you were you gonna play pool you play no you're gonna play pool sober Okay, okay, and then you gonna see your results And then see the problem is if I put a purse over and then I smoke high I smoke pot and get high I will have been warmed up for the playing pool sober, and I'll definitely play better high separate Separate days, but the problem with separate days is Have to your body has to be like perfectly in tune in order to get real accurate results because one day I could have lifted weights which fucks up your pool game like nothing here We go telling you do this honest with you just pick two my best games I was medicated Matt Barnes on his game day use of marijuana Matt Barnes who will not be in the Hall of Fame who? Do you the player he's alright? He's just alright? He's a role player I want I want Michael Jordan to come out and say that then I'm gonna be like oh wow Yeah, I want someone like that. I don't know no don't tell us the role players Well see you're saying this though as a guy who doesn't smoke pot Telling you limit for jiu-jitsu for jiu-jitsu It's a huge part of the jiu-jitsu world a lot of people get high and and then to jiu-jitsu And they say it makes their game better. What's the practical use of jiu-jitsu? Well if you and I were in a fight that would kill you that Think you would that's practical you would kill me anyway. Yeah, but that would be the practical okay? So it's just for that moment, but it's not the other time No, no, it's not just would you want to be high if you were like walking to your car late at night? And then three guys came at you and you would would you want to let me ask you? What's the perfect circumstance then your it's late at night. You're headed to your car. I don't think you understand marijuana I want to I'm just saying would you want to? Would you prefer to be sober or high it would be the one we find yeah fine with either one Yeah, okay good then depends. I mean I'm not gonna be able to do anything different if I'm sober or high I'm fit, but we're not talking about drunk now if you said would I want to be drunk or sober fuck you? I'd want to be sober. Oh, no. I'm not I don't know I get it if I'm worried about getting hit and I'm not sure about reaction time or One of the things about pot is it makes you a little bit paranoid so it puts you on edge I'm sure you're aware of shit. Okay. The other thing is it focuses you like very cleanly on what you're doing Oh, there's a lot of hotheads out here. Just really wrong there. I didn't know I like it If you're drawing or music or something along those lines We're really trying to focus a lot of like writing a lot of people really like it for those things Because it makes you really focus on what you're doing, but then I don't know vision But then I think what happens then is that that's whatever they were doing on that They don't apply it to because I have a lot of we have a lot we both have a lot of pothead comedian friends Yeah, but and there's some of them. I know that when I started with them I know that they're not doing what they're doing now, and they're not they didn't Keep going exceed their expectations big and I know part of it was because of the pot I don't think it is I think the pot is just common denominator uses an excuse It's not the common denominator is no work ethic Agree my denominator is it did it didn't help the work ethic. I don't think it hurts or helps I think it's just no it's a factor study on this Yeah I mean the study would be skewed because a lot of failures that get high all the time would be in the study But a lot of winners that get high on the time don't want to talk about it. I like that and I By the way, I'm with you 100% on this I what I hate is that the people that don't have any work ethic they look at somebody with a work ethic That smokes weed and then say well look they made it cuz they smoke weed and I'm like no They would have made it without the weed. Yeah, they would have made it without the weed. That's what I'm saying Before I ever smoked weed. I was already on television. Yeah, you had a Warner Brothers CD as No, I didn't start smoking weed until like 2000 I'm not I'm not listen. I'm not anti weed, but I just think that with anything there should be moderation Yes, no, I agree Like one of the best things I did last year was Ari and Tom Segura and Burke Kreisscher and I we did this sober October thing Where for a whole month? No booze no pot and we had to do 15 hot yoga classes in the month and I learned a lot in that month I really did are you different are you different person because of it? No, it was good. You gotta get out of here Yeah, no, I have another really yeah, Jesus already 220 bro. Yeah, I'm doing another one I'm going I'm going I'm going to see Barry cats if you can believe that Barry cats is a podcast that's gonna be a interesting day for me Just oh about the pot but I forget what I was gonna say Stoner thought no, it's not uh-huh. It's not whether or not you smoke pot It's whether or not you get things done and whether or not you write out what you're supposed to do whether or not you you actually Try to achieve goals whether or not you're you're actively trying to improve Whatever you're doing whether you build cars or make carpet cabinetry It's just about whether or not you're working towards Succeeding and improving and I agree. Listen, I agree that I'm not anti pot. I'm not I should but I agree with you And I'm based on evidence of the people that are around a lot of us. We should be anti pot I should be anti pot dude I know a lot of people that were they were made me sad Like I'd run into him at the comedy store and they're like, bro, you got any weed on you, man? Yeah, yeah, and I'd be like you're not doing anything Yeah, not doing anything with your life and you want some weed go get a job. Those are the money get some weed Yeah, but then you also see guys like Ari who get high all the time and they're constantly working or our Doug Benson Who's like the most functional pothead I've ever met in my life. I all day Weird one or Snoop Dogg. Yeah, so there are people but these are people that are they're the exceptions not the rule I wonder there's a lot of people on Wall Street that get high there's a lot of people that are involved in like the tech world that get high a lot and what what people think about it is That look, it's like everything else man. It can be good for you or it could fuck your world up, you know I mean moderation. I think there's some benefit to it. And what the benefit is Vulnerability creativity makes you feel vulnerable and makes you reexamine things makes you look at me people call it paranoia I just think it broadens your your awareness I think it's a stand-up you already have a level of vulnerability just going on stage and talking about things for sure So that's like my sure there's some of that. I just thought that's my drug. There's a good drug I mean, it's it's definitely not one that's gonna ruin your life. Hopefully. Yeah, unless you tell a bad planet of the Apes joke On that area
