Joe Rogan Experience #1924 - Andrew Santino

Andrew Santino joins Joe Rogan for a loose, wide-ranging three-hour hang the night after performing together in Austin. They drift from the dangers of motorcycles and the precision of pro pool and golf to cults, the Vatican's abuse scandals, UFOs and historical torture methods. Much of the episode is the two trading stories and reacting to videos Jamie pulls up, from wingsuit flights to a Tibetan sky burial and a family exhuming their grandmother. Santino also promotes his new Netflix special Cheeseburger, the third season of Dave, and the House Party remake, while teasing his upcoming move to New York.
