No doubt at one point in my life I was disappointed when I opened my eyes from sleeping. The struggle is real and reality is a struggle!!!!! B strong brotha
100% relate to this. I've been in this scenario for quite some time. Every now and then I find something to believe in, something to live for, and I start to get better and live better, but then it dissipates and I'm left with just myself, which has always been my biggest problem, myself. Anyway I wish you both the best, hopefully yous are doing well and enjoying life now
Stories is exactly what they are.i hope you know that dude.i mean I'm sure there's some truth in them but he exaggerates them to crazy heights.he can't help it.hes been paid to lie, exaggurate ,and tell stories almost his whole life.
@@TheStupidNerdz no sir,I wasn't.i never said they didn't happen.im saying he's exaggerating way over the top and it's very easy to tell.i know that i was trained to pick up on these things but anyone should be able to pick up on it too,as he's so very loud about it. its what he does man.thats what he got taught and paid to do his whole life.its good shit.its funny as hell .im not hating on him for it,im just pointing out the fact.and hey,im far from perfect and i could be wrong.like you said,I wasn't there,but be gives all the signs of being deceptive ,and i say, really exaggerating the truth as I believe he did go through these things but not like he tells them. He's like that loud kid at school ,who had no shame,and tells all of these crazy stories while everyone knows he's lying or exaggerating like crazy but no-one calls him out on it bevause it's funny as hell and u just can't wait until the next day to hear more.lol
“I’m not saying they didn’t happen, I’m saying he’s exaggerating way over the top” That’s like saying “he’s not lying, he’s just not telling the truth” You’re obviously clueless. Stop desperately reaching and do something more productive with your time you fool
I'm here from listening to the "Macho Man snake story." I was skeptical, not knowing much about Jake but now I gotta agree. He's an awesome story teller, great timing, great delivery, great voice, great impressions, great material. @@jasonmusser7561 What part is exaggerated about, lets say, the snake story? There's video evidence of the unbelievable part of that story. 6:38 Is this exaggerated? I almost spit my drink out on his delivery of "I don't WEAR clothes." I'd MUCH rather listen to an interesting exaggerated story, than a dull true one. After hearing the snake story and coming here, if Jake started this interview saying "Everything I'm about to say is a lie." I'd still watch it. I'm curious, though: 1.) Do you only watch documentaries and read non-fiction books? 2.) Are you the type of guy that if Snake said "We packed 35,000 seats at the blah blah arena" and you chime in "Excuse me, Mr. Snake, that arena only has 33,852 seats!"? 3.) Do you believe everyone is always lying or do you ever give people the benefit of the doubt? Like; I believe you were trained to pick up on those things. I prefer giving people the benefit of the doubt.
He has a knack for entertainment. You'll see him talk a little more when he has less entertaining guests to try and make the cast as entertaining as possible.
Joe isnt really a wrestling guy. Hinchcliff bein there allows the conversation to expand more i think. Best part about his podcasts he doesnt interveiw he converses
It's hard to put into words how much listening to Jakes stories of his past and how he turned it all around helped me do the same. Thanks Jake and thanks Joe for having him on.
That was the quickest 2 hours + show I've ever listened to. I think I could listen to Jake Roberts talk for 5 hours and still want to hear more. What a captivating person, if current wrestlers had 5% of whatever it is he's captured professional wrestling would be booming again.
I am a 47 year old woman... I used to go to the wrestling matches with my Daddy. I love Joe's pod-casts but I usually skip over the mostly sports ones... Geez....I got caught up listening to this one while I was doing some data entry at work. SOOOO interesting! I really enjoyed it. I remember Jake the Snake from the matches that I went to with my Dad (I remember so many other wrestlers that Jake mentioned today). What a legend! I hope that he finds every happiness! Great show!
DomesticGarlic couldn’t agree more, I always find the stories behind the curtains interesting to listen to, especially growing up not knowing what was going on after the show

@@chiefcuningcoyote4906 Dude if you remember the guy named Brother Love from the early 90's he was Vince Mcmahon's right hand man for over 20 years and he has a podcast talking about everything behind the scenes with WWF/WWE and its great. Its called "Something to Wrestle with Bruce Pritchard" its funny af too.
I read your comment just as I started this podcast and thought to myself that your just being hyperbolic and stupid. Here I am 3 hours later and I laughed and cried. You were point on.
@@brianwestmoreland3836 thats how society is now days, people are so soft. I miss the days when nobody gave a fuck about your feelings. It was up to the individual to take responsibility for thier own actions.
@the truth its not so much of the crash and burn stories people like from wrestlers. I think its the backstage stories that everyone loves especially since everything was kept under wraps tight back then.
@the truth I have so much more respect for these wrestlers after finding out their struggles. After viewing them as super heroes/villains during my early life, knowing they have weaknesses connects them to us so much more. They are human beings given responsibilities to be a hero. Escapism is amazing.
I have never been a fan of wrestling, and I still am not. However. Coming from a family history of addiction and abuse, this is one of the truest, honest, most heart felt podcasts I have ever seen in my life. Congrats Jake for becoming the person you have. And good on you Joe. This is one of your best. Cheers Fuckers.
Watch being the elite on here that will make you a fan of non wwe wrestling the indies and places like new japan,ring of honor, and chikara, and pro wrestling guerilla are amazing
@@themmaboom8045 well, I'd say that's the great thing about both of them. some of their stories sound too ridiculous to be real but then again, these guys have been through a lot of shit (I mean, snake escaping and swimming through the piping of the hotel to the room of the one japanese guy who's afraid of snakes... ^^ who knows )
Sean Sullivan: your mocking somebody that is either, really in need of help and could use some encouragement because soft drugs, booze or ..... or your mocking someone that is in just as punch pain and suffering without the substance abuse!!! Either way, I HOPE YOU GOT WHATEVER SICK PLEASURE U WERE STRIVING FOR, BY MOCKING SOMEONE THAT IS SUFFERING AND HOPED HE COULD BE VULNERABLE HERE AND GRT SOME HELP. Sean SULLIVAN YOURE A SCHOLL YARD BULLY THAT NEVER GREW UP!! I hope if you reach out for compassion someday, that a PSYCHOPATH LIKE YOURSELF DOESNT FEEL INCLINED TO KCIK U WHIKE UR DOWN!!!,!
I was around Jake a little while in 2008 trying to make it on the indies. I liked him a lot but he was unpredictable and when he got sauced and he scared me in those situations. I thought he'd be dead any day. I'm so THRILLED to see him sober and doing so well and reconnecting with his family especially. God Bless You brother man.
Why would someone lie about being happy to see someone sober?? You guys are sad. You DO realise indie wrestling exists ands its totally common for the likes of Jake Roberts to be around from time to time? Right? Get your heads out of your asses :)
Snake is such a REAL human, the fact that he had a superstitious fear of becoming his father by holding his kids, is a fear SO insanely accurate in the minds people who were sexually abused by a family member as kids, its so astonishing and awesome that someone of his stature and age is SO open and honest, and IN TOUCH, many people for many generations, because of THE SNAKE, will no longer feel alone in their feelings and fears from those horrible experiences, so thank you snake :)
Thank DDP for masterminding this whole thing with Snake And Scott Hall! I’m sure through Jakes and Scott’s testimonies; they’ve saved dozens and dozens of lives!
As a survivor of childhood sexual abuse, I can't say how refreshing it is to see a prominent male figure speak openly about his experience. Every experience is different, but I certainly could relate to a lot of what he had to say.
@@stza16 This was my dad's first JRE Podcast and he kept asking me "Is this Tony guy always on the podcast?" haha, he couldn't stand his voice and adding his irrelevant bits.
Even back in the day in the (then) WWF, his promos were an exceptional part of his character. A good indication of the change between then and now (at least on screen) is the Legends of Wrestling show back in 2000. His fall from 1996 was just sheer vertical.
Yeah I remember I went to one of Piper's comedy shows and his story telling skills were just as amazing. Back in the day when charisma mattered in wrestling.
That part about the kid writing Jake a letter about his father coming home thanks to him instantly brought me to tears!!😟😟 Jake you have earned a place in heaven, live with ease!!!
This was easily one of the best podcasts I've watched to date..full of laughter, darkness and raw emotion. Glad Jake is clean and healthy. I don't watch WWE anymore but he will always be one of my faves. 🐍
Jake is a fantastic talker. His promos were some of the best in the business. The way he never raised his voice, his tone, how dark and eloquent his promos were. He didn't have to yell to make a point, he didn't have Macho Man's energy and raw emotion or Hogan's sheer size and capacity to grandstand, he was just the devil in your ear, making you question yourself, using that almost whisper like voice and almost always making a good point somewhere. He's a seriously unrated talker because how underused he was and because how bad his personal problems got but it's good to see him recover and get back up after decades of drugs destroying him.
Very well said my friend. Recovery if people make it is a joy and a blessing to himself and many many around him. Recovery touches so many and not just the person in recovery.
You know what's amazing about him. Is that his voice is clearly damaged from drug use and smoking, his brain also has to be significantly damaged.....but after all that, and even at 63, he is still compelling and can hold his own on JRE
This has got to be one of the best podcasts I’ve ever watched/listened to! Love you Jake the Snake♥️ glad you’re still here...you’re one of my favorites.
Jake Roberts is such a fabulous storyteller. This was without any doubt one of the most entertaining guests I have ever listened on Joes show. Jake is pure entertainment. I could listen to this man all day long.
nah there are better ones look up "patrice oneal opie and anthony", the hollywood/hollyweird rant is a good one and the conspiracy theories with patrice is a good one too, theres many others as well
maaaaan,jake the muthafukin snake roberts!!! this dude and all the other 80's 90s wrestlers were a huge parts of me and my bros childhood,always watching them as we wrestled in the living room,lots of love for him and all the guys of past wwf and wcw.Long live the old school wrestlers!!
Yep, I had the same childhood with my brothers. We had belts and everything haha. We had all the heavy rubber WWF figures, and all the little plastic spring loaded action figures. It was a better time. But WCW was the rival in our house.
lol yeah ok he's a gentleman lol. He keeps calling young Jamie knob slobberer but ok he's a gentleman lol wtf. the guy is great but cmon... "i aint letting no bitch yell at me unless im sleeping with her" lol
@@ETAisNOW-wn8wx haha! Yea he's no Saint but as I said compared to the man he was ten years ago he's a gentleman . Do a little research orwatch some vids on how he was at the height of his addiction/downfall ,done some fowl shit. hes turned it around big style. So compared to who he was , he's a gentleman
I haven’t watched a podcast over 1 hour in its entirety in over 5 years. I was literally glued to my computer screen listening to Jake. This man is amazing
Probably the very best interview ever on Rogan. I'm like you - can often only listen to about 40 mins of a podcast (or in chunks) but this..... Start to finish and could not take my hears away. Fair fucks to Jake and ALL hail DDP. The man is literally a verifiable life saver
Watch The 🐍's Documentary, it's even better. DDP is a Godsend. He saved Jake and Razor Ramon from certain death. You will cry, I garentee it, happy tears tho. I give it 12 out of 10 🌟's.
These interviews and out-of-ring stories from old school WWF superstars are great. But, this interview was FANTASTIC ..... the open dialogue, the honesty, the courage, etc. I was a fan of Jake the Snake before ........ but NOW? ..... MAD RESPECT!!!!!
Yes, he was so annoying. And I had a difficult time believing that he was old enough to have seen Jake wrestle at that time. Perhaps it is a cross over to generations attempt to introduce Jake to much younger people. Which I would appreciate.
Jaker gave him so much shit throughout the chat too it was cringe. Just little things he'd add in about gayness and shit it's hilarious listening to this little woman trying to man up and contribute
When I was 7 or 8, Jake the Snake was my favorite wrestler by far. I wrote to WWF magazine saying, "I think Jake the Snake is the most scientific wrestler." I found out that letter was published when the guy who owned the corner store showed me the magazine and my little one sentence contribution. It was one of the most exciting moments of my childhood. He then put four quarters in the Contra arcade machine that lived near the door in that place and I floated on cloud nine until my lives ran out. I didn't beat Contra that day, but I did later on, and for anyone trying to accomplish the same thing, stick with that spread gun, she's all you need.
He was also my favorite wrestler when I was that age. My dad took me to see him in Chicago back in the 80s. He walked down the aisle just a few feet in front of us. I was completely starstruck! If I'm remembering correctly, the extra lives code for Contra on the NES was: up up down down left right left right A B A start. That was over 30 years ago. Yet, I can't remember what I had for lunch 2 days ago.
One of the best Rogan podcasts I've ever seen. Jake is amazing, as I'm seeing a guy I loved to watch as a kid and know about his massive struggles with "life". He can get me laughing out loud and then put into words things that I've struggled with about self esteem and addiction. It's very encouraging to see a healthy Jake the Snake who hasn't skipped a beat being sober. It should make many people want to be better models of themselves.
Poor Jake...tortured youth including abuse, guilt and shame....glad he got the help from Diamond Dallas Page and others to get his life in order and back again! Enjoyed his great stories too... Now he’s helping others worse off...way to go Jake! Your my hero man and one of the best Heel Wrestlers ever and a personal favourite!
This is the first time I've ever heard someone be so frank about the deep hole of addiction to the point I've had to stop the video and think to myself for a moment. Jake would be very successful talking on the university with a talk exactly like this one. Best episode of JRE and it's not close.
God bless you, Jake. You were one of my favorite wrestlers. I had no idea of the hell you were made to go through as a kid. It made me think of my childhood and the reasons I was on drugs and drinking so much. I'm glad you have found peace at last.
"The disease will let you sit a place for 3 or 4 months and not even touch you... But it's over there doing push-ups in the corner" Holy shit, he really understands addiction; I can relate
Tezza Bhoy when Dallas page was on the podcast Joe said he wants him on and Dallas said he can set that up no problem so I’m guessing that’ll happen eventually
Yeah, I hope Joe gets more wrestlers on the show. Would be fun to have guys like Stone Cold Steve Austin, Hulk Hogan, Scott Hall, Shawn Michaels etc. come on and tell some stories. All pro wrestlers got a ton of great stories.
Jesus. I was laughing till I cried and then crying some more. His story is inspirational on a level that I've not heard on a long time. Watching him as an absolutely terrifying heel in wrestling as a child, having seen him in so many videos being completely fucked up, to seeing him clear eyed and sober is so incredible. Hearing about how he's had so many people step in and step up for him, and him acknowledging every slip he's had and hold himself accountable... That's a fucking man there. It's heartbreaking, but not. He's amazing.
Greatest wrestler of all time, in my opinion. He’s sadly missed. It’s a shame he became such a recluse towards the end of his life. Macho Man really lived his gimmick. He would have had so many cool stories to tell, not to mention all the knowledge he could have imparted on the younger generation of wrestlers. I’m glad he spent the last year of his life in happiness with his childhood sweetheart, though. Just wish it could’ve lasted longer for them.
I like Jake's voice and how it always trails off into a whisper. It’s kind of soothing. The voice of a man who has lived and experienced beyond his years.
People like jake are real deal. They make everyone seem like they've never lived at all. Jake used to live 40 miles from my hometown in Nebraska. He was doing real bad. I saw him a few times. I'm really glad to see he got better and hear his stories. Amazing guy with a huge heart.
Most 40 year old guys like myself grew up with "the snake" in our houses every weekend. Nice too see something good happen to a person that brought us a lot of joy. Lets get a SNAKE PODCAST!!! First guest, The Mangina
Jake has that old truck driver humor and Joe is more new slightly hipster humor. Joe is a fairly liberal progressive type of man and Jake is a testosterone fuel man's man lol.
cory eck lol Joe has just as much testosterone and is just as much a manly man as Jake is. The only dif is that Jake is older, had more life experiences , and due to that is able to really have “I’m gonna do me and if you don’t like it then fuck off” attitude. Both super cool dudes that I would love to have a beer with, or take a hunting trip with.
This is the greatest interview I've ever seen, hands down. No sports BS about being famous or rich, just a man trying to makeup for stuff done to him and he's done. Thank you for this one
I don’t usually comment on Rogans podcasts, but this was one of the best shows every. Those wrestlers went through hell and back. The stories this man has is crazy. His past Jesus Christ. Great show.
powerful chat.... At times, after my second heart attack before 40yo and back on the grog and weed, I also was angry that I woke up some mornings.. great example of a dude turning it around and not costing his loved ones the sadness that his death would have provoked..
It's amazing how Jake can be talking about dark disturbing real shit one second, then has me dying laughing the next. What a compelling storyteller. Get this man a fn podcast!
Being an survivor of addiction it’s showed me my path is still positive I love seeing this. I hope I can talk about my dark past as honestly as he does one day.

Hands down one of the saddest, happiest, funniest most entertaining interviews JR ever did. I could listen to Jake tell his stories all day long.
Amen to that I will second that
Honestly, I'd like to see Jake on the podcast again. He's funny, and filled with stories.
but without the third guy, he is so annoying
Tony was completely unnecessary
I really liked how Joe just let Jake talk. No interrupting, just let the man tell his tales. I hate when interviewers do that
I agree, Joe has good interviewing skills.
Joe gets better and better. Other interviews like on 60 minutes or something are just no good anymore. Joe changed the art of the interview

Keep on rocking👍💪👍💪👍💪
Jake's Macho Man impression is the best I've ever heard.
I dunno bro. Brother Love does a pretty God damn great Macho Man over on Something to Wrestle with Bruce Prichard.
THINKIN THINKIN BROTHER OOOOH YEAH
One of the best that is certain.
Nah Jay lethal does a perfect imitation
Jake's is fantastic, but I've got to nominate stand up comic Dan Soder's impression as the best
I forgot about Jay Lethal. Sheeeeeit. Tbf though anyone can do a passable Randy Savage with a bit of practice

Current wrestlers do, they're literally neutered by politics and poor writing. Just let the guys do what they do best and magic will happen
I was thinking the exact same thing. Jake has gone into hell and come back and it was captivating just listening to him pouring his heart out.
TheJeffreyJJones Agreed!
I thought the same, i cycle 90 mins to work and this was the quickest ride ever. What a guy.

Joe this was your best interview ever. Get some more of these old school wrestlers on here. They're such good story tellers.
Jim cornette would be an amazing interview. He's worked with every major wrestling promotion and has created some of wrestling biggest stars.
Thats why they were good wrestlers they were amazing at telling and selling the story.

Either way, I HOPE YOU GOT WHATEVER SICK PLEASURE U WERE STRIVING FOR, BY MOCKING SOMEONE THAT IS SUFFERING AND HOPED HE COULD BE VULNERABLE HERE AND GRT SOME HELP. Sean SULLIVAN YOURE A SCHOLL YARD BULLY THAT NEVER GREW UP!! I hope if you reach out for compassion someday, that a PSYCHOPATH LIKE YOURSELF DOESNT FEEL INCLINED TO KCIK U WHIKE UR DOWN!!!,!
I dont think I've rewatched a podcast more times than this one. Powerful story. Thank you Jake
One of the best Joe Rogan podcasts I've heard. Amazing listen.....
Jake Roberts = Legend
Endlessly fascinating. Jake was probably the most interesting character I watched while growing up. This is such a great interview.
His impersonation of Macho man had me rolling!!
Kody Arocho he already sounds like him
And Jake was just in the locker room behaving himself smh
MAybe it has and maybe it hasnt
I was around Jake a little while in 2008 trying to make it on the indies. I liked him a lot but he was unpredictable and when he got sauced and he scared me in those situations. I thought he'd be dead any day. I'm so THRILLED to see him sober and doing so well and reconnecting with his family especially. God Bless You brother man.
never happened.
Why would someone lie about being happy to see someone sober?? You guys are sad. You DO realise indie wrestling exists ands its totally common for the likes of Jake Roberts to be around from time to time? Right?
Get your heads out of your asses :)
Snake is such a REAL human, the fact that he had a superstitious fear of becoming his father by holding his kids, is a fear SO insanely accurate in the minds people who were sexually abused by a family member as kids, its so astonishing and awesome that someone of his stature and age is SO open and honest, and IN TOUCH, many people for many generations, because of THE SNAKE, will no longer feel alone in their feelings and fears from those horrible experiences, so thank you snake :)
Thank DDP for masterminding this whole thing with Snake And Scott Hall! I’m sure through Jakes and Scott’s testimonies; they’ve saved dozens and dozens of lives!
As a survivor of childhood sexual abuse, I can't say how refreshing it is to see a prominent male figure speak openly about his experience.
Every experience is different, but I certainly could relate to a lot of what he had to say.
Thats hot
@@allanmoore3610 Wow so edgy
When did you finally tell someone? I told my mom at 23, happened whrn I was 7.
I was between 5 and 7 when it happened. Told the first person at 18.
Same I got molested but my best friend at the time it's one of those memories I try to forget about
This is definitely a top 10 Joe Rogan podcast of all time ...
Mπ. $€£F De§t®ü©T for a fact
Tony Hinchcliffe ruins it.
@@stza16 This was my dad's first JRE Podcast and he kept asking me "Is this Tony guy always on the podcast?" haha, he couldn't stand his voice and adding his irrelevant bits.
@@erickolson6529 I was like, "wait who is this random gay guy lurking in the shadows?"
This was intense man, almost had me in tears a couple times. Respect,, that's for sure
Best Macho Man Randy Savage impression ever.
The best lmao
Bruce Pritchard does a pretty amazy one too
You trying to get my intercontinental heavyweight championship?
Dan Soder does the best impressions of Macho
Jake sounds more macho man than macho man did lol...
My God that's got to be one of the best Macho Man Impressions I've ever heard lol. Awesome to see Jake so full of life.
It's a toss up between him and Dan Soder. 🙌 Crackle crackle!
I could listen to Jake tell stories all day long. An incredible story by master story teller.
Even back in the day in the (then) WWF, his promos were an exceptional part of his character. A good indication of the change between then and now (at least on screen) is the Legends of Wrestling show back in 2000. His fall from 1996 was just sheer vertical.
Yeah I remember I went to one of Piper's comedy shows and his story telling skills were just as amazing. Back in the day when charisma mattered in wrestling.
That part about the kid writing Jake a letter about his father coming home thanks to him instantly brought me to tears!!😟😟 Jake you have earned a place in heaven, live with ease!!!
This was brutal listening to all that he's been through. I'm grateful to hear this tale.
This was easily one of the best podcasts I've watched to date..full of laughter, darkness and raw emotion.
Glad Jake is clean and healthy. I don't watch WWE anymore but he will always be one of my faves. 🐍
It was good cause Joe Rogan actually let the guest talk.
@@jonw8697 Gave Jake all the time in the world to tell his life story which was ace
Jake is a fantastic talker. His promos were some of the best in the business. The way he never raised his voice, his tone, how dark and eloquent his promos were. He didn't have to yell to make a point, he didn't have Macho Man's energy and raw emotion or Hogan's sheer size and capacity to grandstand, he was just the devil in your ear, making you question yourself, using that almost whisper like voice and almost always making a good point somewhere. He's a seriously unrated talker because how underused he was and because how bad his personal problems got but it's good to see him recover and get back up after decades of drugs destroying him.
Yes, his promo and in ring psychology is 2nd to none.
Very well said my friend. Recovery if people make it is a joy and a blessing to himself and many many around him. Recovery touches so many and not just the person in recovery.
Imo, the best promo was his because it was poetic, highly intriguing and believable.
You know what's amazing about him. Is that his voice is clearly damaged from drug use and smoking, his brain also has to be significantly damaged.....but after all that, and even at 63, he is still compelling and can hold his own on JRE
So powerful - thanks Joe for sitting back and just letting Jake flow.
This has got to be one of the best podcasts I’ve ever watched/listened to! Love you Jake the Snake♥️ glad you’re still here...you’re one of my favorites.
Jake Roberts is such a fabulous storyteller. This was without any doubt one of the most entertaining guests I have ever listened on Joes show. Jake is pure entertainment. I could listen to this man all day long.
The best podcast I’ve ever seen hands down.
nah there are better ones look up "patrice oneal opie and anthony", the hollywood/hollyweird rant is a good one and the conspiracy theories with patrice is a good one too, theres many others as well
Elon musk for me was best
on par with DDP one
There are tons of awesome podcasts from Joe, But this is riveting.
@@jeff7728 100%
maaaaan,jake the muthafukin snake roberts!!! this dude and all the other 80's 90s wrestlers were a huge parts of me and my bros childhood,always watching them as we wrestled in the living room,lots of love for him and all the guys of past wwf and wcw.Long live the old school wrestlers!!
Living The Humboldt Life The Best Part About It Is They’re All Immortalized Forever To All Wrestling And Even Non Wrestling Fans. Respect!!!..
Yep, I had the same childhood with my brothers. We had belts and everything haha.
We had all the heavy rubber WWF figures, and all the little plastic spring loaded action figures.
It was a better time.
But WCW was the rival in our house.
hell yeah same here,all the toys and posters bed sets etc,damn right it was a way better time
currently in eureka but lived in sohum, mack and fortuna,all over the Hum
30 years of cocaine, being molested and beaten as a child to a recovered Yogi. Damn you are a true inspiration Jake the snake 🐍
This is one of the best JREs of all time. Jake is legit hilarious. Such a charismatic and fascinating dude.
Please stay sober Jake , your an inspiration and a gentleman . Much love and respect to you sir
I agree. Much respect, but I’m not sure about the gentleman bit, I reckon Joe filled that role.
@@susantjfl3147 he's a gentleman compared to the man he was ten years ago say . Completely different person, so I'll still stand by that
Pj M fair enough, he’s got my respect that’s for sure.
lol yeah ok he's a gentleman lol. He keeps calling young Jamie knob slobberer but ok he's a gentleman lol wtf. the guy is great but cmon... "i aint letting no bitch yell at me unless im sleeping with her" lol
@@ETAisNOW-wn8wx haha! Yea he's no Saint but as I said compared to the man he was ten years ago he's a gentleman . Do a little research orwatch some vids on how he was at the height of his addiction/downfall ,done some fowl shit. hes turned it around big style. So compared to who he was , he's a gentleman
The day has finally arrived when The snake shows up....Thank you DDP that you enlighted Rogan about theese former wrestling legends
Jake "The Snake" Roberts is a legend, epic stories. This was one of the best episode on JRE! 👏
I haven’t watched a podcast over 1 hour in its entirety in over 5 years. I was literally glued to my computer screen listening to Jake. This man is amazing
Agreed
Bro just use your phone and play the podcast while doing something productive. Taking notes... washing dishes... jogging on a treadmill...
Agreed
Probably the very best interview ever on Rogan. I'm like you - can often only listen to about 40 mins of a podcast (or in chunks) but this..... Start to finish and could not take my hears away. Fair fucks to Jake and ALL hail DDP. The man is literally a verifiable life saver
I have no words to describe this podcast. This is motivating me to do better and be better. Thanks for this podcast
Just thinking the same thing.
Pardon the pun..but yep..its top shelf
Genuinely one of my absolute favorite interviews in recent memory! That was pure entertainment!
Watch The 🐍's Documentary, it's even better. DDP is a Godsend. He saved Jake and Razor Ramon from certain death. You will cry, I garentee it, happy tears tho. I give it 12 out of 10 🌟's.
Christopher Price he definitely reads comments lol
These interviews and out-of-ring stories from old school WWF superstars are great.
But, this interview was FANTASTIC ..... the open dialogue, the honesty, the courage, etc.
I was a fan of Jake the Snake before ........ but NOW? ..... MAD RESPECT!!!!!
Tony is like a little kid sitting in on an adult conversation 😂😂
Yes, he was so annoying. And I had a difficult time believing that he was old enough to have seen Jake wrestle at that time. Perhaps it is a cross over to generations attempt to introduce Jake to much younger people. Which I would appreciate.
Why is he even in this podcast? what's the reason behind having him there?? because he's a fan?
Jaker gave him so much shit throughout the chat too it was cringe. Just little things he'd add in about gayness and shit it's hilarious listening to this little woman trying to man up and contribute
When The Snake speaks, you better fucking sit and listen, kids.
@@ethanallen223 what so guys can't be feminine, fuck off, some of the campiest motherfuckers ever are legends
When I was 7 or 8, Jake the Snake was my favorite wrestler by far. I wrote to WWF magazine saying, "I think Jake the Snake is the most scientific wrestler." I found out that letter was published when the guy who owned the corner store showed me the magazine and my little one sentence contribution. It was one of the most exciting moments of my childhood. He then put four quarters in the Contra arcade machine that lived near the door in that place and I floated on cloud nine until my lives ran out. I didn't beat Contra that day, but I did later on, and for anyone trying to accomplish the same thing, stick with that spread gun, she's all you need.
He was also my favorite wrestler when I was that age. My dad took me to see him in Chicago back in the 80s. He walked down the aisle just a few feet in front of us. I was completely starstruck!
If I'm remembering correctly, the extra lives code for Contra on the NES was:
up up down down left right left right A B A start. That was over 30 years ago. Yet, I can't remember what I had for lunch 2 days ago.
Idk if you just messing with us or what but that was fucking eloquent
What year and what's your name?
Not likely that you write so well AND telling the truth, but, good story bro.
That's the stuff nostalgia aspires to be!
One of the best Rogan podcasts I've ever seen. Jake is amazing, as I'm seeing a guy I loved to watch as a kid and know about his massive struggles with "life". He can get me laughing out loud and then put into words things that I've struggled with about self esteem and addiction. It's very encouraging to see a healthy Jake the Snake who hasn't skipped a beat being sober. It should make many people want to be better models of themselves.
Poor Jake...tortured youth including abuse, guilt and shame....glad he got the help from Diamond Dallas Page and others to get his life in order and back again! Enjoyed his great stories too... Now he’s helping others worse off...way to go Jake! Your my hero man and one of the best Heel Wrestlers ever and a personal favourite!
This is the first time I've ever heard someone be so frank about the deep hole of addiction to the point I've had to stop the video and think to myself for a moment. Jake would be very successful talking on the university with a talk exactly like this one. Best episode of JRE and it's not close.
I agree, his take on addiction is true
I love how joe is respectful not drinking or smoking during this podcast for jake
"I'm in the locker room behaving myself" is the best opener I've ever heard lmao
Yeah just washing the blackboard
God bless you, Jake. You were one of my favorite wrestlers. I had no idea of the hell you were made to go through as a kid. It made me think of my childhood and the reasons I was on drugs and drinking so much. I'm glad you have found peace at last.
"The disease will let you sit a place for 3 or 4 months and not even touch you... But it's over there doing push-ups in the corner"
Holy shit, he really understands addiction; I can relate
If that ain't that damned truth!
Damn truth
Stone cold
Ya right when ur a junky ubhave no clean months fuck outa here
Going on 5 years clean(ish)
I'm so happy Jake turned his life around. He seems genuinely happy.
And if he can do it, anyone can! Jake is an inspiration.
Unfortunately thats the beaviour of someone depressed
Arona Ricardo I love your positivity 🤡
He tamed that dope demon just like one of them ol’ snakes! 🐍
Yeah, truly amazing.
highly suggest getting Mick Foley on at some point Joe, jamie.
great podcast!
No way he's so boring just talking about how much money he saved in his career.
I rather listen to cactus jack or mankind
Tezza Bhoy when Dallas page was on the podcast Joe said he wants him on and Dallas said he can set that up no problem so I’m guessing that’ll happen eventually
Yes please
This is honestly the best podcast episode I’ve heard yet
"I'm in the locker room behaving myself."
Not minding a soul😂😂
32:27
One of the best podcast in a long time joe
apart from when you're reminded hinchcliffe is there
@@hustler666100 seriously, what an annoying voice he has.
@@WillisAmak right. Hes awful. How is he famous
Vinnie Paz was a good one also.
Hinchcliff ruins it tho
Pro wrestlers have the best stories!
They are also some of the best story tellers too. Every story he told had me drawn in
Yeah, I hope Joe gets more wrestlers on the show. Would be fun to have guys like Stone Cold Steve Austin, Hulk Hogan, Scott Hall, Shawn Michaels etc. come on and tell some stories. All pro wrestlers got a ton of great stories.
Jake's imitation of Macho Man is one of the most hilarious things I've heard in a long time.. I just lost it in laughter.
Whenever I start feeling like my life is tough, I'm going to listen to this show. God damn this guy went through some heavy shit!
Jesus. I was laughing till I cried and then crying some more. His story is inspirational on a level that I've not heard on a long time. Watching him as an absolutely terrifying heel in wrestling as a child, having seen him in so many videos being completely fucked up, to seeing him clear eyed and sober is so incredible. Hearing about how he's had so many people step in and step up for him, and him acknowledging every slip he's had and hold himself accountable... That's a fucking man there. It's heartbreaking, but not. He's amazing.
Chewing on your girlfriends box and your teeth fall onto her bellybutton lmfao dear god jake 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
hey man sometime being in the trenches is hard stuff
Lol! I would pay good money to see that 😂
😂
I love that Tony and Joe knew to just let Jake go, he's got some crazy life experience and wisdom and stories. One of my favorite podcasts ever
Get Rob Van Dam on the show. You guys can talk about weed and conspiracy theories...
RVD does have his own brand of THC delicacies... I’d love to see him and Joe getting ripped together! Just no Ari! He’d do some dumb shit.
And eddie bravo !
@@RK-hx1jr yup eddie has to be there too
And weed
I’d listen to Jake the Snake podcast
I’d listen to Jake recite pages out of the phone book, man. His voice was always captivating, one of the best promo guys in wrestling of all time.
5/20/2019 we lost Macho Man Randy Savage 8 years ago today. I had to come back and listen to this to get that story.
He elbow dropped the four horsemen and saved the world from the rapture that was supposed to happen in 2011
Greatest wrestler of all time, in my opinion. He’s sadly missed. It’s a shame he became such a recluse towards the end of his life. Macho Man really lived his gimmick. He would have had so many cool stories to tell, not to mention all the knowledge he could have imparted on the younger generation of wrestlers. I’m glad he spent the last year of his life in happiness with his childhood sweetheart, though. Just wish it could’ve lasted longer for them.
I am proud to share his name :)
@@thishandleisntavailable861 hee tee
@@thishandleisntavailable861 enjoy bro. Or rather, hope you enjoed. ✌
I like Jake's voice and how it always trails off into a whisper.
It’s kind of soothing.
The voice of a man who has lived and experienced beyond his years.
You took the words outta my mouth my friend! Thanks!
This is my all time favorite podcast from joe Rogan. Ive watched over 20 times.
Mr Rogen Mr Roberts, thank you. This is the best podcast I have ever seen. It was a journey, a redemption story. Thank you.
stephen logan absolutely agree with you peace from Australia
By having Jake the snake Robert's on his show..They dont realize how many of us are now going to use the term "paint brush that Mother Fucker..🤣
Shit had me giggling lol
One of many wrestling terms. Shit is cool as hell. And thats a straight up shoot lol.
I've been saying this for years just like I say glock knock instead of pistol whip
Snake's transformation is miraculous. Not just that he got clean but how emotionally intelligent he is now and how much he wants to help.
He's not clean..its all for show.
@Vince Williams let me guess, Jordan Peterson fan?
"Shame is something you put on yourself". I felt that. God bless you, Jake!
People like jake are real deal. They make everyone seem like they've never lived at all. Jake used to live 40 miles from my hometown in Nebraska. He was doing real bad. I saw him a few times. I'm really glad to see he got better and hear his stories. Amazing guy with a huge heart.
Most 40 year old guys like myself grew up with "the snake" in our houses every weekend. Nice too see something good happen to a person that brought us a lot of joy. Lets get a SNAKE PODCAST!!! First guest, The Mangina
Snakes dirty humour is absolutely hilarious hahahaha tough crowd though...
I don't think he's funny. Just stick to your junkie stories, man!
Jake has that old truck driver humor and Joe is more new slightly hipster humor. Joe is a fairly liberal progressive type of man and Jake is a testosterone fuel man's man lol.
@@eadracing he went through it man, say congratulations.
hellghillies.bandcamp.com/track/high-on-drugs
cory eck lol Joe has just as much testosterone and is just as much a manly man as Jake is. The only dif is that Jake is older, had more life experiences , and due to that is able to really have “I’m gonna do me and if you don’t like it then fuck off” attitude. Both super cool dudes that I would love to have a beer with, or take a hunting trip with.
God it was heart breaking hearing him talk about not wanting to have his daughter sit on his lap because he was afraid he be like his father
Hope one day he gets Taker or Stone Cold on the show 🤞🤞
Undertaker is dead
@@marshalledmundson4851 fuk you in the hole you came from
Stone cold will be a good choice, though undertaker might not be as easy
If he got Taker I’d pay to see it
Watch hot ones with stone cold
One of the most entertaining guy's without even trying to be
This is probably my favorite Joe Rogan podcast I've heard, extremely entertaining from beginning to end
Bradley Woodard I agree
"Machos dead, snakes the champ."
What great booking that would have been.
This is the greatest interview I've ever seen, hands down. No sports BS about being famous or rich, just a man trying to makeup for stuff done to him and he's done. Thank you for this one
Great mix of funny and heavy hearted show.... One of my all times best and funniest show
I don’t usually comment on Rogans podcasts, but this was one of the best shows every. Those wrestlers went through hell and back. The stories this man has is crazy. His past Jesus Christ. Great show.
I would love your context, without spelling and syntax errors. )()( l(ike so without spellng or syntax eeros))... slow down byatch.
powerful chat.... At times, after my second heart attack before 40yo and back on the grog and weed, I also was angry that I woke up some mornings.. great example of a dude turning it around and not costing his loved ones the sadness that his death would have provoked..
Every time Jake whispered I would lean in to pay attention...
just like when I was a kid listening to Jake the Snakes 🐍 great WWF Promos
Earthdog BIG BROTHER FAN great storytelling
One of these days YJ is going to turn the JRE into a screamer/jumpscare 2 hours in
Jake's promos were the best
Earthdog BIG BROTHER FAN made me go back and watch his promos
Omg same here he draws you in
Joe please get Scott Hall on, he’s got stories for days just like Jakes, these guys are truely inspirational!
Him and Nash, they're great together, you can tell they've been homies.
Scotty hall 4life!!!! Hey yo!
The story about Macho Man Savage was probably one of the funniest ever on Joe's podcast.
Can't wait for the cartoon. You know it's coming.
@@shieldss5150
That Randy Savage impression really enhances it.
Andre: Slam me!
Jake: No way... -.-
Andre: SLAM ME!!
!
Jake: Yesss sir! XD
It's amazing how Jake can be talking about dark disturbing real shit one second, then has me dying laughing the next. What a compelling storyteller. Get this man a fn podcast!
It's why he was such a great wrestler, such a compelling talker.
That's why he's one of the best minds in the history of the business. He knows how to tell a compelling story; with or without words.
Facts
Has a cool comedy show tour.
Jake was always one of my favorites. Hearing his stories now is very entertaining and his recovery is inspirational. Great pods, Joe!
Let's get joey diaz and Jake the snake in the same room. Let's just see what happens
i don't think the universe can handle that
Pull it up Brian!
POWERFULL
I can’t handle this 😂
Buying stock in Paulytoon LLC just in case
Being an survivor of addiction it’s showed me my path is still positive I love seeing this. I hope I can talk about my dark past as honestly as he does one day.
