Hello and welcome to another episode of the JRE review. For those of you that are new and I've been saying this on almost every podcast, but there's a lot of new guys. So to those of you that are new, this is a podcast that pays respects to the Joe Rogan experience and reviews the best, the most interesting highlighted parts of each podcast. I don't know about you, but if you're a fan of Rogan and you've listened to his show for a long time, parts of these podcasts are going to inspire you. You're going to have other questions. And my idea with this is to bring up some of those questions you know continue the dialogue and also occasionally have guests on that are fans of Rogan to give their perspective and give a voice and you know just

kind of show appreciation for all the inspiration. So this week we have our Nick Kroll on podcast 1178. Nick Kroll is a fascinating guy, very funny. He was a mainstay on the show The League, which is a fantastic show. He was on in all the seasons of that show. And he's been doing another show with John Leney, kind of like Broadway type comedy that was pretty hilarious also on Netflix. And now has an animated show called Big Mouth on Netflix. And Big Mouth is brilliant. It is so funny. It is so ridiculous.

And very, very clever. It's so fun to watch that. I absolutely love that show. Great conversation between the two. They started off with obviously this whole podcast with Silly and a lot of fun. They started off with talking about shitty old technology. Joe Rogan was talking about this Apple camera that he bought. That was like one megapixel or something and it cost a fuck ton of money and was just a huge block Absolutely like the size of a shoe box Just hilarious. I kind of feel like it's very funny to hear those stories You don't even mean like people that will really wealthy between like

I don't know, 97 and, no, okay, more like 2000 and 2008. The technology swing then, if you really look at it and I'm no expert, but like, it seems like that's when we went from those big ass projectors shitty TVs that were like 4 feet thick and took up half your living room to like you know laser crystal plasma and cameras that went from being giant blocks of digital shit to like on a cell phone. I mean the technology

expansion during that time was off the chain and I'm sure if you had money during that time and you were buying all the latest stuff you spent so much of your cash on a bunch of crap that is now absolutely useless like laser disc and the one Xbox that had a high death. You remember they had Blu-ray and then high death, some sort of high death thing and that just went under so much technology that's like utterly useless. You know, I'm not saying that like, technology now is not slowed down, but it's more, you know, you don't think about buying something

and then, and then next year, having it be completely obsolete. Not now. I mean, I don't know, maybe that'll continue, but they started with that and it was fucking just hilarious to think of. And, you know know it really does bring up all the crap that you've spent on these things. In the show Bigmouth, which is a fantastic show, Nick Crowder's a lot of voices and my favorite

one and one they talk about is the is the Homo monster. And the Homo monster on that show is like, just a monster that they've created, they're kind of like, is the imaginary friend of one of the teenage kids, and it just constantly talks about masturbation, really. Sex and masturbation, which, again, in the context of that show is hilarious. Nick Crow has done other

voices for shows. I guess he did one back in the day for Family Guy. He did Andy Dick. It was quite funny. That's a pretty good episode. Andy Dick's like superhuman and just chasing down the family guys all the time. Nick started standout when he was 24, which is pretty close to what Joe was. And obviously first and foremost, Nick Crow is standout comedian and then went into television and other things. And still looks to do standout. But you know, it's difficult with all these other things going on, but it seems like that's a really good age to start, like mid-twenties. You know, he recently with the Burning Man and had a really fascinating time. I like hearing about people that do Burning

Man. He has some fascinating things about just the concept. I've never been, but he describes his combination between Mad Max, Game of Thrones and Tron, which I thought was hilarious. Then he talks about having a wealthy people there. They're just kind of like, you know, they're there to be amongst the mess, but like they're very protected in their, you know, really nice camper vans and all the rest of it. It's almost like the rich are there to collect their spoils which I thought was a very funny way that he kind of described that. He did some acid there He likes mushrooms, but this time he decided on doing some LSD Joe brought up an interesting thing the creator of LSD was actually synthesizing it to find a drug that helped induce labor.

And I guess it sunk into a skin and he rode home on his bike, started tripping balls, and that's where LSD came from. And that was a really cool story. I've never heard that before. They go back then to talking about his show, Big Mouth, on Netflix, and how really with Netflix you get a lot more freedom with writing. It just gives you the freedom to kind of do really whatever you want to do and I mean when he's worked on like network shows you know he knew the limitations so I think that that kind of scared him away and he just said you know what Netflix is the way to be Joe brings up Something interesting that news radio their show that they were on was kind of like that with freedom like the writers

We're really willing to listen to the cast members and just find the best comedy for the day instead of a lot of ego You know, and a lot of times it is a ego that gets in the way and these things And that's kind of just something. They move on to like other comics that have really inspired them. Robin Williams came up. Now Robin Williams obviously a legend in comedy, very animated. Joe talks about how one time Robin Williams waited in line at one of Joe's shows just to say hey your bit was great and thank you and you know you're a good comic but he didn't identify himself as Robin Williams and Joe didn't say anything see them

one of my barrisome but yeah it was kind of like in disguise and that's that's a cool compliment I think. He started to end up with Scientology just because I think Nick Crawl finds that pretty funny and Joe loves to jump on it but they talk about how Tom Cruise is yeah you might be crazy but he makes some fucking great movies and if you have not seen the latest mission impossible you have to. It's off the chain. Then they make von of him by looking at some videos from Scientology where he won his gold medal and then Joe talks about how he got that medal for being the most awesomest person in the universe, which is fucking fantastic. I don't know, it's a good podcast, I love those guys and Nick Croll is a legend. It's just it's so good to hear

that he's doing so many awesome things and yeah really fantastic podcast. Check it out. Thank you for listening. You guys fantastic. Take it easy.
