I am fucking nervous Why? For real? Yeah Why? It's a good thing I haven't left my fucking house in a year You've been totally locked up Well, I mean, I go to the grocery store How did you avoid getting it? You didn't get it at all, right? The cooties? No Because everyone I know is a shut-in too And I fucking loved it It's like I left a day after my year anniversary I packed a week before coming here So all you've done is go to the food store? Yep Wow I went up to Phoenix for New Year's To see, it's a long story To see a dog that I almost kept But I gave away Anyway, so yes, basically, no I have not left fucking Bisbee, Arizona in a year Wow And I didn't think it affected me until I left It's like if you stayed in bed for a year going I don't need to walk I know how to walk And then after a year you're like Fuck my legs What feels the weirdest? Just figuring out how to pack for the road I packed everything I drove and I left Sunday to be here Wednesday It's a 13-hour drive I could have done it in one shot But I was so excited I'm gonna leave on Sunday And just take the back roads And like I practiced talking on the phone before I came here An hour and a half before I'm just calling people Like I don't talk to anyone on the phone The only time I use the phone is to figure out where to meet you to talk I don't socialize on the phone You and I talk maybe twice a year tops And when I see it's you I go Do I have an hour? Okay, I'll make an hour Because we don't But otherwise So I was like I haven't talked to people other than Do you have a room available For three days Three and a half days So I was calling, you know, Bingo and Brian Hennigan Just talk to me You know, I packed what I thought was a carload of shit I forgot vodka Which is my go-to drink And a shirt I only had the t-shirt that I was wearing That after three days started to stink And I went Fuck, I didn't pack another shirt Did you go shirt shopping then? Yeah, I went to the thrift store Oh, thrift store Yeah, of course Yes You notice I'm fucking Like I brought two different suits Like goofy suits I've been wearing pajamas for a year I think it would be even more awkward If I was wearing a suit Especially with stupid hair When did the goofy suits become a thing with you? Like what year did you think that? 1989 it started in telemarketing Because my mother would send me goofy suits like that Because they had just gone out of style Like in that earlier, that decade So they're, you know, fucking It's like buying acid wash jeans now They're a fucking nickel a pair at the thrift store I think Jamie has a few pairs Acid wash sweatpants Oh yeah, that's right Sweatpants Yeah, but that's your signature shit now The goofy suit Yeah, and I go I don't think I'm ready to put on a goofy suit I don't know if it would clash with the goofy hair Because people will show up at my shows in goofy suits But they'll have like plaid on plaid And you go, no, that doesn't work Like I I accessorize perfectly in a goofy suit But I go, I have the goofy hair now Is that like polka dots on plaid? I don't know Right, have you gone too far? Yeah, I want to be comfortable here So I'm wearing pajamas like I have for the last year Why don't you just wear pajamas? That's what I'm wearing Pajama pants Are those pajama pants? Yeah Okay, there you go And this was my old travel shirt I wore this anytime I traveled But yeah, I want to be comfortable I don't want to be fucking You've stayed within your means And you had to worry about finances Like you've dialed that in early Yeah You never fell into the trap a lot of people do Whether they like buy a bigger house Or buy a bigger car Yeah, my shit's paid for After a year of not working I go, ooh, I always bragged about how much fucking I don't need to work And then I go, alright, now I'm starting to worry About this dumb plastic shit from Amazon or not When do you think you're going to start working again? Are you going to get the vaccine? I got my first shot Which one, the Pfizer or the Moderna? No, Moderna, I got my first shot About two weeks ago Two weeks ago, tomorrow Why is it funny? Because I just realized I still have the fucking bandaid When I took a bath at Stankt I'm such a fucking slothful pig It comes to bathing That's hilarious And it's still there I didn't wash that hard that it came off even last night They're resilient, those bandaids They'll stick around for a while for a little Well, I'm going to get my follow-up shot two weeks from now From the same lady And I wanted to see the same dirty bandage and make her pick it off I know that's rude But I think it's funny On Spotify, including clips, easily, seamlessly switch between video and audio experience On Spotify, you can listen to the JRE in the background while using other apps And can download episodes to save on data costs, all for free Spotify is absolutely free You don't have to have a premium account to watch new JRE episodes You just need to search for the JRE on your Spotify app Go to Spotify now to get this full episode of the Joe Rogan Experience
