the jurogan experience the worst thing that can happen to a comic because you get real soft because everybody loves you and they go to see you and they laugh at anything you say that's one of the reasons why steve martin said he stopped touring right because steve martin when i was a kid let's get small was out and he would come out with the bunny ears on and like play the banjo [ __ ] he was so good these kids today these [ __ ] kids today they don't know steve martin was a monster no they don't know about that but they know they're doing hell rooms nobody just shows up what i mean oh i mean they don't know how good steve martin was like people forgot when steve martin was doing a ring he wasn't doing i don't know if he was doing no he did he did like nassau call us he got that big but he was doing his albums like they were so silly and so fun and so different like he had a his own unique style you know and when he just felt like anything he did they laughed at and he lost track of whether or not it was good or not and he just stopped doing it and i remember thinking when i was first starting doing comedy i can't imagine a that that could ever happen or b that you can't there's not a work around steve you're the [ __ ] man i think it really was he also had all these ideas for film and all the stuff that he did yeah um but you know it's kind of interesting like where he is where what he used to say about uh like i was such a serious time that he was coming out of oh like you know the previous decade all the assassinations the vietnam war the gas crisis and all that and all these comics were talking about all this heavy [ __ ] and he was just super silly they just was like a mental break um somebody came to us uh with a um a pilot idea for something and it was over the top like absurd and silly and like that was my reference i'm going to this is like the steve martin bunny ear thing everybody's
like going with trump and and the virus and i don't know and it's like this thing is just silly there's no there's no me to cancel call there's nothing in here you can just sit down like that dumb and dumber type of thing that yeah that i love look at him [Laughter] do i tell you people people today it's hard to appreciate how big he was and i was a kid right so that when when steve martin was huge i mean what year was this late 74 but yeah this is probably before that too yeah was he still doing comic comedy in 84 i thought he i found a video that said it was a stand-up performance from 84. that's probably right around the time when he stopped but i thought he stopped before that but when i was in high school was when steve martin was just born standing up he's got a great book that's the book born standing up you know what kills me as i loaned that to somebody gave it up in 80. i never got it back 81. so he gave it up when i was a freshman in high school the book is great red band gave me the book for uh christmas one year it's really good it's it's really interesting too because like i said i don't i think when you talk about like great comics of all all these generations for whatever reason people just think of him as a great movie star they think the jerk which is unbelievably funny movie and all those amazing movies that he did yeah it was a great movie doesn't like these kids he was so good he was so silly what was the mafia movie he played what was that one when he the guy oh yeah yeah yeah and he goes into the supermarket and he just he gets the price gun and everything's like 99 cents he's kind of standing there he's scanning all this filet mignons and everything what was that yeah yeah rick rick miranda that was a great [ __ ] that bit that you did on side art live about rick miranda's getting punched in the face i was [ __ ] howling you know
i thought that if anything i thought because everybody loves rick which i do too of course i was just you know was the place that's a joke catch new episodes of the joe rogan experience for free only on spotify watch back catalog jre videos 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 cost 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
