You work hard, dude. You're not just lucky. You work hard. You work real hard. You're always touring. You're always doing things. You're always putting together new shit. You're always working.
You're always hustling. Like, it's not just luck. It's luck plus, you know, you love to party, but... You also have a great work ethic, and that's very, very important, man. It's like you can't just be lucky. Lucky's huge. You've got to get lucky. But also, if you work really hard, you tend to get luckier, especially if you're smart and if you're willing to take risks.
For you, the Travel Channel thing, that was a risk. You had to listen to your friends, and you had to go, you know what? They're fucking right. Everybody else is cooking right now, and my stand-up's kind of stalled out because I'm doing this TV show. And again, it's coming from someone who was there.
And I'm telling you that if you're making millions and you still feel that way versus if you're making thousands and you still feel that way, you got to trust me. There's another way to get through this. And the other way we found. We got, you know, we were right.
Yeah.
Look, we fucking saw light at the end of the tunnel. We're like, this is the way to go.
And we were right. I remember you telling all of us, you guys need a podcast. And I remember saying to Tom, he's out of his mind. Why don't we just do his?

It's fucking good, dude. I think, what's his name's in this?
Oh, shit. We have a friend in this.
Who's your friend?
No, me and you. I think it's our friend. I don't know who it is, though. I forget.
Okay. Jamie, go to the cast. Who's in that? God, Ben Foster's so fucking good. That guy's so good. You know what that guy was in that super underrated one of his performances because it's such a wacky movie? 30 Days of Night. Did you ever see 30 Days of Night?

Chapter 3: What insights does Joe Rogan share about the podcasting industry?
Scattered like the map of the bodies where they show where the known dead bodies on Mount Everest are it's terrifying Do you want to know the craziest one sure so the first dude to ever attempt the summit?
I think his name was Mallory right yeah, and Hillary is one got there so he they said They found his body probably five years after, 10 years after, and they said he had a broken leg, a fractured skull, and his pic, and that's how they could figure out it was him, because his initials were in his pic.
And they said he always carried a picture of his wife, because he was gonna put the picture of his wife on the top of Mount Everest, and it wasn't in his pocket. So they're like, was he in fact the first person to get there?
Oh, probably.
And then he left it there and then died coming down.
Probably.
The other thing that I think is wild Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay made a deal that they would reach the summit at the same time. Because it was like, who gets to the summit first? I mean, when you think about it, especially with racism back then, Edmund Hillary was a Kiwi. He must have been like, hey, brown guy, just carry the bags.
I'm going to get up there and you come up, get a picture of me, and then we'll do one together and then we'll head down. But they made a deal to go up together because they needed him that much.
Well, you definitely need those Sherpas can go all the way up there with no oxygen.
