Where Does Joe Rogan Draw the Line for Privacy?

After a while, everyone's just going to watch everybody do everything. I really think within 100 years that's going to be the case. That's the case now, man. I think it's kind of vloggers and like, you know, I'm on YouTube, you know how that goes. Like, everyone wants to see, oh, what are you doing now? What are you doing now? I didn't get a video last week. What's going on? What are you doing now? Yeah. You know? But what we accept is way different than what our parents accepted or what their parents accepted. And I think what our children accept is going to be way different. And then what their children accepts can be, we're like two, three generations from it just being ridiculous where there's no privacy. How do you distance yourself? Because you're a public figure, right? How do you distance yourself? Like, where do you draw the line for privacy? I guess you could say. The real problem was when you're eating, man. When people like come up to you while you have, like, I'll have a kid in my lap and I'll be eating food and talking to the kid and someone will literally come up to me and try to take a picture. Really? Ask me to take a picture with me. I'm like, come on, man. We're all out eating at a restaurant. This is like, you know, just say hi. Just say hi, man. And I always tell people when I'm done and I'm leaving, I'll take a picture with you. But you can't just interrupt dinner. But it's just people think like if they don't get a picture with you right now, I've got to get it right now. Now, now, now. Fuck it. I don't care. I'm going in. I'm going to ask them. And they don't care. I mean, and then they'll say, hey, that's the price you pay for being famous. Well, no. It's like, no. Come on, guys. That's not true. That's crazy. Look, this is the deal. This is something that you enjoy, whether it's stand up or a thing. And I appreciate that you enjoy it. But that's our exchange. All the other stuff. I don't know about anything else. It's like meeting me at a restaurant and shit when I'm eating with my kid. Like, come on, man. That's the you're asking for too much. This is ridiculous. Well, here's another question for you. What kind of restaurants do you eat at where people feel need to come up to you? Do you like a regular restaurant? Either a high-end or like Applebee's and stuff or like a low-end stuff. High-end. High-end. Yeah, that's right. I eat at regular places. It's like normal spots. It's not normal that someone does that. Most people are super respectful. But all it takes is one out of 100. True. And the night just gets weird. And most people don't. Most people are cool. But every now and then, people just have this idea that somehow or another, if you're a famous person, you have to abandon everything. That's the other thing, that you're not a person anymore. You're like a famous person. It's like regular rules of meeting someone don't apply. You would never just barge in on a regular person that you didn't know. But if it's a regular famous person, people, they don't give a fuck if you're... Like, oh, this is fine. Whatever. This is life. You could be having a conversation where you and your friend are both crying and talking about someone that died. People don't give a fuck. Hey, man, I'm sorry to interrupt, bro. Did I get that picture? Yeah. Did I get that picture, bro? Damn. Did I get that picture, bro? So what's the weirdest interaction you've had with someone? It's mostly just that kind of stuff. Really? Just like restaurants and stuff. The weirdest shit is like people that tell me that they're going to give me secrets. Like UFO-type stuff. Yeah. Bigfoot and I know where the bases are. Really? Those motherfuckers, yeah, skitzos. Yeah. I've had a few of those. And restaurants? We're just walking on the street. No, I'm just usually at comedy shows. Yeah. Yeah. Usually at comedy shows. Do you ever walk down the street? That's a weird thing I just asked you. Yeah. I mean, because like when you're always either driving, you're going somewhere. You ever go for a casual walk? Like, how does that work? Not around... Well, I do. I walk my dog. Right. But no, I don't walk around L.A. Nobody does. Nobody walks in L.A. Okay.
