Hello there and welcome to the JRE Review for episode 1256 with David Lee Roth.

Now this conversation between Joe and David was cool because obviously Joe Rogan's a big fan of Van Halen

and he loves getting these rock stars on whether it be like Steven Tyler or whoever he gets on.

And I think over these like three hour long periods you really do get a good sense and a really unique perspective of like who these, what it's like kind of to be a rock star at that level.

I mean it's a very bizarre life, it's very different and Rogan's talked about it before he thinks that it's one of the most extreme types of lifestyles

because massive rock stars can do whatever they want and you know they're quirky, quirky people.

And this podcast was an example of that so anyway let's start the review.

Welcome to the Joe Rogan Experience Review where each week I review every single episode of the Joe Rogan Experience. What more do you want?

So yeah Van Halen is one of those bands I mean they're so massive there's really nobody that doesn't know who they are.

You know what I mean they're up there they're like Rolling Stones big and this guy's lived a life.

I mean just been famous and the top of his game for how long it's crazy you know it's crazy that there's almost any normalcy with these guys.

Think back to the Steven Tyler Erasmith podcast with Joe and you know Steven was kind of just like almost losing the conversation you know and just kind of going off on like this singing and his stories which is kind of trail and I mean it was you know he's a little nuts for sure but again he's so super famous.

You know nobody ever tells him to shut up nobody ever says your stories are boring. He just goes and everyone sits and quietly listens and I think in the same way you've got that with David though David Leeberoff does some interesting things to keep himself grounded.

At least I assume that's kind of why he's doing it and he's also he was telling Joe that you know he takes on these other experiences to kind of rich in his his experience through life it helps him you know writing songs understand people better and just kind of have you know more fulfilled time one cool thing he did.

For a while was he was an EMT and he talks about that with Joe and so he trained to be an EMT was like a year of something you know college basically and then that was it he was like cleaning out the trucks and traveling around New York and he show up and you know to an emergency and it would be David Leeberth just that idea is really interesting and it's also it is eccentric right.

I mean he doesn't need to be doing now what is he doing that for its it's dangerous it takes time he could be doing anything but you know there's elements he wants to kind of give back.

It is what it was coming across but also he just wants those experiences he wants something new and different it's not like he needs the money he he needs the the adventure.

Well something that was really cool in the conversation is just kind of how active David is he I guess he now doesn't own a car so he just rides around on his bike and loves doing that and he kind of show up to events with you know like an outfit over his suit if he's going to dinner so he can just in the rain take it off and head into the event like he you know show up and he's going to do it.

He you know showed up in a limo and no one's the wiser and I guess that's just kind of how he likes to get around it it's an interesting thing to do I mean I I almost couldn't understand what he's trying to get out there I mean it's one thing to be like physically active but then why would you want to show up to an event like that you could get a cab or you get a limo I mean you're very rich if you're doing it just because you're making a point of being eccentric that's one thing.

But but I think it's just that you know when you're riding a bike through the streets or whatever especially in bad weather like you're really tuned in towards happening you're there in the moment right if you're getting show for somewhere maybe you're just staring your phone and kind of zoning off into space so so maybe it's just an example of him wanting to stay very present.

I was trying to figure it out through the conversation and and when you listen to the podcast you know ask yourself that question and see what he's trying to do with it but it's it's what it seemed like he just wants to stay very present with all of his experiences whether they're him kayaking down one of the rivers in New York City legally or rock climbing or you know just all these sorts of experiences it's not just that there's like an element of danger.

But there's an element of present presentness like you can't just zone out when you're doing these things and maybe maybe that's kind of along that line he was saying that he doesn't use a smartphone I guess he does have one but generally he's just not messing with phones all the time because he doesn't like the entrapment of apps and so on and you hear that more and more Joe definitely has been talking about it.
