Joe Rogan on Ricky Gervais' Golden Globes Monologue

The Joe Rogan Experience The idea that a guy actually had a **** island. I mean, that's what Ricky Gervais was joking about last night. Did you watch that? Of course he was. No, but I did see the one clip that somebody put on the internet about him saying, don't virtue signal. Just come on here and get your little prize. Go **** off. Because nobody cares about your opinion. I was like, thank you. Thank you, Ricky. Thank you. Thank God. That guy swings. He's out there swinging from the hip, chin up, doesn't give a ****, telling it like it is. I love it. He went after Apple in front of Tim Cook and they showed Tim Cook's face. How crazy was that shit? He went after Apple. Then he said, if ISIS opened up a studio, y'all be sending your resumes. Is that what he said? Something along those lines? Yeah, you'd all be like, yeah, streaming service, y'all be contacting your agents or something. Yeah, that's what he said. Like, ****, man. Good for him. So those were all pre-written, right? Because they had to have those cuts ready to go. I don't know, man. He's so badass. He might be able to do whatever the **** he wants. He's Ricky Gervais. He's got the ability to probably say, oh, I'll do it, but I'll do it this way and only this way. And they're like, okay, Ricky, we love you. We love you. We know you wouldn't do anything to jeopardize our amazing organization. We all love working with you here at the Golden Globes. And it's fun. I mean, you stir people up and everybody knows you're a good guy. And then he goes and hits them with genocide talk. They're like, hey, hey, hey! Apple must have been so pissed we were just getting away with using all that slave labor and nobody even noticed. That's, I mean, it's another thing, like this murder, right? It's like, that's just how everything was done. That's just how everything was done. That's how they whacked everybody. And that was how you got things built cheap, they used slave labor. But nobody knew. Nobody really understood until you saw things like Foxconn. You're like, wait a minute, this is a good setup? You guys are working 16 hours a day, you sleep in the building? This is a good place? This is good? The stories of Amazon workers like running around and peeing themselves. Oh, yeah. Yeah. They have some crazy countdown thing that goes when they get an order and they have to run to go get it. Probably a fun job if you're into losing weight, put on some ankle weights and shit, maybe a weight vest and just run around that thing. You'd get a ******* vicious workout. That's making lemonades out of lemons. That's right, Joe. Everything's a workout. You could be working as a waiter at Applebee's and that's a workout. That's right. Think about it, man. Just with heavy weights around your waist that no one would notice, you could have a good workout while you're working. The Apple thing, that had to sting. Well, he was standing right, sitting right there, too, and they showed him right before he started saying it. But he did throw in the Amazon. What exactly did he say? Something about using sweatshops and stuff like that, right in front of him. But I mean, Foxconn, it's a sweatshop, but it's probably the best version of a sweatshop. It's a real company. The best version of a sweatshop is hilarious, though. I mean, Foxconn works in the United States now, don't they? Right. Do they? Yeah, I think they actually have, or they're about to have companies here in the United States. I remember, this is something that Trump had talked about, right? On top of the annual, Gervais ended his monologue by telling the nominees, so if you do win an award tonight, don't use it as a political platform to make a political speech. You're in no position to lecture the public about anything. You know nothing about the real world. Most of you spent less time in school than Greta Thunberg. So if you win, come up, accept your little award, thank your agent and your God, and **** off, okay? The swear was beeped out by NBC. He was also beat for his use of profanity in two other jokes. One where he called Katz, James Corden, a fat pussy, and another where he discussed the same films, Judi Dench licking her ass. Wow. The comedian, however, also peppered the monologue with references to Me Too and contemporary issues. He started off by noting that it was his fifth time hosting and therefore he didn't care what flack he would take. Then he punched in with a nod to last year's college admission scandal, I came here in a limo tonight and the license plate was made by Felicity Huffman. He said, good for him. He's a real comic. He doesn't have the Apple quote. He's a real comic. That's a, look, there, right down, it said a little lower than that, it said Apple, yeah. While discussing the addition of Apple TV Plus to the room, Gervais noted the irony of a Me Too-themed show like The Morning Show being made by a company that runs sweatshops in China. You say you're woke, but if ICE had started a streaming service, you'd call your agent. We're gonna get this right, folks. I really believe this. Good for you. This is what we were talking about earlier, about everything being bad. I don't think it is. I think it's just a lot of noise. There's a lot of noise. A lot of people yelling. It's swinging back around already. It's swinging back around. We're human. Yeah. You know, we have weird things. Everything's changed. It's all changed now. Everything's changed. Okay. Relax. We're okay. We're gonna be alright. The world's fucked. We're fucked. It's all ending.
