My favorite Eddie izzard joke: they're not women's clothes, I bought them

There are only two genders: Cake or death.

Favorite Eddie line: "(like a boy) I liked climbing trees, I just liked putting on make up when I got up there." I'm paraphrasing.

I have a feeling the word Eddie was looking for was “tolerant”

This comment section is gonna be lit

The thing about Eddie Izzard is Eddie Izzard is Eddie Izzard.

“If there is a god, his plan is very similar to someone not having a plan”

"Eddie Izzard on being transgender" *clicks video* "Yeah it's tragic."

he is like a masculine transgender David Bowie XD

He ran 27 marathons (26 miles a day) in 27 days back to back, he is an incredible athlete

"You've just got to fail a lot" Fucking hero

Absolutely agree that people of lesser character are the ones that bully 'unusual' people. You can tell the ones that have their shit together, because their character has the mitigating features that stop them from bullying people. That's not to say that people who aren't bullies have their shit together. Bullies have inappropriately high levels of self-confidence.

Eddie is so perfectly comfortable with himself and strong in character. Obviously he has found all things "male or female" fascinating and that makes perfect sense.

I don’t understand where he’s coming from because it is foreign to me. But I have such admiration for Eddie. He’s such an interesting, intelligent and well spoken, and beautiful person. What a great person to have Joe!

I love Eddie. He's a perfect example of how you just live your life how you want, don't be a piece of shit, and people will be ok with you. Be more like Eddie.

Always had respect for Eddie and the way Eddie is. I might not fully understand it - but I suppose we don't need to.

Joe' I'm thinking about being trans' Rogan.

There seems to be confusion between transgender and cross-dresser

Nothing wrong with enjoying life and embracing your feminine or masculine side depending on your internal “wiring”. Keep doing your thing Eddie! Keep fighting and performing!

Eddie "I want to talk to your manager" izzard

Hello to you who are scrolling down the comments.

Eddie is one of the strongest human beings. Not afraid to be who he is, 27 b2b marathons, standing up for himself, standing up for others, and still being funny and genuine without a shred of bitterness. Inspiring person

The weirdest part about this interview was hearing eddie say "soccer".

Me- Takes a deep breath before reading the comments.

Eddie has the jawline of a cartoon super hero. Sh*male by day, crimson chin by night.

I’ve seen Eddie’s show..dressed to the 9’s..the show is so fabulous..he draws you in, you don’t even think about what he’s wearing.

You know, if I sit down and think about it, I must be transgender. I'm a woman who is a crazed fan of both genders, identifying with men and women at different times for different reasons. I felt this way so often and so strongly when I was younger I thought of myself as a third sex. Now I just think of myself as a well rounded woman. Isn't that the goal though? The goal of life? Empathy and fandom?

My username is from an Eddie stand up, this man has greatly influenced my life - most notably to not be afraid of who you are. For those who are just discovering Eddie for the first time because of Rogan and are fans of stand up - Dressed to Kill is one of the all time greats and my favorite!

4:35-4:40 the word he was searching for is Tolerant.

4:35 I think the word he was looking for is 'tolerant'

Eddie always used to say "I'm just a bloke who likes wearing dresses". Can't see anything's changed.

The thing is - if you watch his comedy specials new/old - you stop caring, and focus on his comedy which is great. which truly defines him. his great sense of comedy and sarcasm.

I would pay good money to see a calm, friendly discussion between Eddie and Jordan Peterson about modern trans issues. I suspect they have more common ground than one might initially expect.

Love Eddie Izzard. Absolutely legendary stand up, and he was terrifying in Hannibal.

Eddie Izzard taught me, and one of my kids taught me, that what matters to me is how well the work gets done and how we connect, not what they wear.

Eddie look like he’s about to destroy your manager 😂

Respect for Eddie I don’t particularly understand this lifestyle myself, but I can appreciate how real the struggle must be. Props for putting yourself out there unfiltered with confidence. The world needs more of that.

The word you were searching for was "Tolerant", Eddie Izzard. 4:35

Seen Eddie live before and he was insanely good. My face hurt from laughing so hard.

“How much surgery do they need before I’m not gay for doing it?” -Doug Stanhope

Joe Rogan: If you were just talking...if you didn’t have makeup on or the heels and nails you just seem male. Eddie: Yeah... I just think it’s genetically inbuilt. Science: I concur.

It's the way Eddie tells a story. He plays characters in every joke. You could listen for hours. Most versatile actor/comedian of our time. I remember watching his specials on VHS in an unmarked box.

If you cause no harm, loss or distress to others I don't give a fook what you do in your own life. Keep on keeping on brother

Is he with the autobots or decepticons?

Joe is a respectful, cool dude. BUT he can also be a savage and I love it lol

Want to see the end conversation play out! Love it.

Joes faces in his thumbnails are hilarious to me😂

He lost me when he mentioned male and female soccer being the same

I was under the impression he's was a cross dresser. Slightly different thing

Building muscle mass is the only thing specifically masculine or feminine?! Ummmm giving birth is pretty specifically female. I can think of others, but that hits you in the face.

It’s wonderful to see Rogan host diverse voices like Izzard’s.

Joe "I flip flop according to who I'm interviewing" Rogan

This “man” is much more of an alpha male than Adam will ever be😂

Eddie, you are freaking amazing and unique. I discovered you recently which is crazy. You are now my number one favorite stand up comedian!! You're incredibly funny on stage and now, hearing you being so honest in an interview... Lovng it.

I just realized (based solely on their voice alone) that eddie is the first coat villain from mystery men 😳

This guy is refreshing. Not about sticking it in your face, depicts multiple ideologies very accurately. And doesn’t bunch people up as if the world is against him

Still funnier than Amy Schumer

I’m a transgender woman. I’m not confused and I transitioned 8 years ago and haven’t looked back since. Some people see the world in black and white and choose to remain ignorant on science and factual information. I don’t blame them tho, “ignorance is bliss” as they say. I would just say, don’t be an asshole. Do your best to treat others as you would like to be treated. P.s. Check out my Instagram and follow me if you have time. ^_^ P.s.s. I use to do acting in LA and actually being trans is quite a hot topic and commodity in LA. I had a good amount of casting calls....or at least I think I did 😅 Www.instagram.com/latinakamilla

"Tolerant" is the t word he was looking for.

For the record, Eddie used to claim he was a cross dresser who “fancied” females. Is that still the case? So confused.

This doesn't have a negative impact on my life. Therefore I have no issue with it.

I've loved Eddie since I was... I must've been 18. I remember it was 2000, I was watching TV, flipping through the channels, saw a stand-up comedian and flipped back to see if he was funny. Turned out to be "Dress to Kill," on HBO. I had a VCR and spare tapes I would record things on so I quickly threw in a blank one and started recording. Luckily it was very near the beginning, and later it came on again and I was able to record the parts I missed for the full show. The first couple times I watched it, I was crying with laughter. I had never seen anyone that funny. I loved his style, the Britishness, the take from being an "executive transvestite," the stream-of-consciousness type of speaking. I loved it. I eventually bought "Glorious," and then when I moved up to a DVD player I got "Unrepeatable," and "Definite Article," then "Circle." I still have yet to get his more recent stuff. This interview really explained a bit more about transgenderism, as I came down to the comments to understand why he was now referring to himself as transgender after all those years of "executive transvestite," and "action transvestite." I have tried to be very understanding, accepting, and supportive of LGBTQ, and I think I'm still figuring this part out, but it seems Eddie has always been Transgender but from what I read after hearing this interview, he identifies as both male and female, which I didn't even think about but makes sense. So I guess for years he was using the best word to describe himself, either the word that he needed and found a better one with transgender, or the word the audience would understand better until we embraced the word transgender. I don't know the history of the words and politics. But yeah, so I've learned today how Eddie really identifies and honestly, even though I know better now and have learned something, and it will stick with me... I feel like nothing really changed. His identification of himself, all that, hasn't changed really how I feel about him. I've always been "ah, good on him," for his personal stuff, but mostly I just respect him as one of my favorite comedians ever and I love him for having entertained me for so many years. Thank you, Eddie. And if any of you have read this whole comment, and are curious... My absolute favorite quote from any of his specials, that I have quoted myself many times with absolutely no reactions (no one ever gets it.) is, "Holy Ghost, this is not an episode of Scooby-Doo..."

"WW2 is very clear and after that every other war is pretty hazy" Preach

Gotta love Joe Rogans audience. Just lovely, compassionate people.

This podcast made me realise what a waste of space Adam Conover is. This was a way better insight than he provided with "I know people that..."

He used to do street performances in Covent Garden, London, way back in the 80s and come to my coffeeshop to change in notes all the pound coins he'd get (he was minting it!) And he was pretty straight forward full blown male then.

"Tolerant" of other peoples differences was the word you were looking for.

Eddie called himself a transgender dude. I can almost feel the SJWs reeeing in the background

“You have to give me a ride in your car” is one of the strangest heckles I’ve ever heard.

I wonder if he meant, tolerant. It's sad that people can't be who and what they want. Today's time - If you don't conform you're the strange one. I always thought it was the other way around.

This is my confusion: -'There's no basic difference between men and women' -'I wanted to embrace my feminine side' That's a contradiction; there's a basic difference, the role in reproduction.

I remember watching a show back in the UK where Eddie ran a marathon every day for like a month...no prior training etc. Doctors thought it wasn't the best idea but he smashed it! Seriously inspirational.

"Disco is NOT Dead, Disco is Life!' ~Tony P. 1999AD.

I really love Eddie. I'd call him gender fluid. He refers to himself as a Male, but likes make up and such. Eddie is his own person and I love whatever it is

“Girl mode” sir you’re a senior citizen be serious 😭 calling wearing heels girl mode, that brain is rotten

Eddie is very unique among transgenders in that, he's not trying to convince himself that he is actually a girl, but rather wants to express all sides of himself. I have always had respect for that, and more trans should work towards that deeper understanding of themselves.

Never thought I'd see the day.....Narcis Prince from Super Punch Out is on the JRE...

yes i love this ... we are human , gender does not have to be an issue when a tiger is attacking who cares what gender it is

He's gorgeous, he's funny, he's intelligent, he's DELIGHTFUL!

I've loved Eddie Izzard every since I was a child. Hilarious and intelligent. One of my favorite comedians of all time to this day.

Eddie Izzard in "boy mode" could be James Bond or a Bond villain.

He didn't come out as transgender 34 years ago. He came out as an action transvestite.

Took some balls for Eddie to speak so openly on JRE.

Remember, Jamie got an ‘A’ in physics

The word you're looking for Eddie is tolerant

Why cant i watch the full podcast?

Haven't watched the whole interview but feel like this was the most touching part.

He seems like a very nice person, but I’m not sure that the only difference between men and women is that men have more muscles. We can all accept each other’s differences but let’s not pretend like science and reality doesn’t exist. It creates more pushback.

Did Rogan get around to asking him about the trans athlete controversy?

We do realize that a woman created all of us and a man cannot do that. So men and women are not the same!!

I remember seeing Eddie when I was super young in the late 90’s before i was even 10 on some show on Comedy Central. (I was the problem child) All i thought back then was, cool a dude who likes to wear make up. Now I see Eddie as one of the funniest yet most bad ass intelligent people who ever lived. Rock on Eddie, rock on.

I respect this ”guy” more than Adam

Joe "I agree with my guests" Rogan

*Eddie literally explains for minutes that they're into boy things and girl things* Joe: "So you're gravitating more towards girl things?" o_O

Funniest guy ever, great story teller, laughed my butt off!! Need a new live concert

he reminds me of Robert Palmer, his speech and mannerisms

Thanks @Joe Rogan. This interview helped me look at Transgender People as People instead of the Label Transgender. The labels we attach to each other are constantly keeping us separated instead of seeking understanding. Great Show! ✊🏿💪🏿🙏🏿

Sad the amount of people who probably didn't even watch this clip and instant disliked. People are ignorant to the point of being cowards (by completely dismissing anything new/challenging). Also Eddie is more "manly" than so many men lmfao. Strong physically and character

The element of surprise. "Because we all know one of the main factors of war is the element of surprise. And what could be more surprising than the First Batallion Transvestite Brigade Airborne Wing"
