1st rule of Brownie Heating Pad Club is YOU-DO-NOT-TALK-ABOUT-BROWNIE-HEATING-PAD-CLUB.

Most underrated JRE interview by FAR

That story Rogan told about his daughter was probably the purest piece of comedy, in terms of content, that I've ever heard him tell. He never would've brought that up or used it if it wasn't for Palahniuk effectively doing exactly what he just described and creating an environment when it's okay for people to tell stories they normally wouldn't.

He's sitting in his chair backwards like us! Let's hear what he has to say!

I recently discovered Chuck Palahniuk and looked up a few interviews. One, here on KZfaq, showed him at a book signing event and he was hand-drawing a picture for a young disabled fan. He was so cool to the kid that I instantly became a fan. The dude is genuinely nice.

You know something is brilliantly honest and shockingly revolutionary when you can't find it anywhere, anymore.

As a fan of Chuck's I started laughing when he said people would leave the room and weep while reading his stories...

Chuck's short stories, true and fiction, are mental. Stories you can no unread.

That heating pad story is chilling. This happens too often. My day job is to fix the emotional and intimacy repression created by parents, churches, busy body aunties. God bless Joe for not warping his daughter's mind.

Chuck Palahniuk came up to me in an alley one time and asked "Hey kid you want some fucked up archetypes?" He opened his trench coat and handed me Fight Club I thanked him and told him he shouldn't flash people

Bring him back on ! He's a phenomenal writer, and a great story teller. You know he's ready to make feel something, he has these stories locked and loaded!

I personally love books/films that leave you with more questions than answers!

I feel so bad for that woman who got hit by her mom.

This is some top level stuff. Thanks for having Chuck on the show!!

I love your work, Chuck. Thank you for writing such crazy, interesting, and perverse things. Been a fan for a long time. I buy your books (hard copy) the instant they come out. You are my drug...

Palahniuk is a crazy-fantastic guy. Best interview JR has ever done that I've seen. JR and Chuck are clearly on the same page and it is feeding my soul. If you can't go into the dark (meaning your own dark places) you are still an "infant". I always hope for people to grow up - but they usually don't.

I feel like a discussion between Jordan Peterson and chuck palahniuk would be interesting

I think Joe was really excited to have chuck on. This was a great podcast, very entertaining

True storytelling at its finest most beautifully disturbing honesty

I'm emarrassed I'd never heard of this guy. What a horrible bastard...I love it!....

Sucks that this podcast was removed. I really wanted to watch it.

Man i wish Joe calls him again soon! I could just keep listening to Chuck!!

Thank you for creating a space for people to share the most intimate moments. 🙏❤️🙏

What a great Podcast!

Chuck *after the heating pad story*: See, that's what I'm trying to do. Joe: *Tells the story about his daughter* Chuck: That's what I'm trying to do.

"How much can you know about yourself if you've never been in a fight" Chuck Palahniuk - Fight Club

I'm involved in self publishing and have participated in a few writers circles over the years, and man Chuck Palahniuk knows what he's talking about... "So is your character--like--a misogynist?" "Does this scene have to be so violent?" "Did you write a woman into the story just to die? WHY NOT STUFF HER INTO A REFRIGERATOR WHILE YOU'RE AT IT!" Men aren't reading anymore, we're too distracted by the high stimulus instant gratification of our new gaming and media platforms. This is BAD because it truncates possible creativity and boxes it into other mediums that are less cerebral in nature... It's gotten to the point where I have to stop myself from envisioning a scene from playing out as if it WERE a video game.

This podcast is incredible.

The comments are a good representation of the emotional weakness of people. The issue is that when we don't talk at all about things, especially in respect to development, that create trauma that goes unchanged. Theres complications to it as with all things. But the key is balance not total taboo or total carelessness.

I personally don't watch graphic/disturbing/horrifying movies. But give me a book and I will read the crap out of it.

great interview

Chuck's process is the same as mine! there is just something better about committing my writing to paper, practically etching my thoughts, ideas & lyrics onto the actual page versus merely typing it all out, using spellcheck, deleting mistakes instead of crossing them out etc i enjoy seeing the evolution play out on paper, the notes & arrows etc.....

I love this interaction. Joe is learning multitudes from a person of multitudes.

Chuck is a genius!!

8:36 I feel the same way about drawing. Pencil and paper feels more natural as an artist.

Joe needs to have more novelists on his show. I wanna see Paul Beatty on there. That’s a conversation I wanna hear

17:38 Joe face expression is priceless

Best episode ever

Further proof that everyone's personality and character are determined by experiences they've had when they were younger and even the smallest thing in someone's mind could throw someone else completely off the rails. Be nice to everyone because you never know what they've been through. Be kind to children and teach them to be genuinely kind to everyone else. Uplift each other and offer help to those not as well off as yourself and teach them to be able to help themselves so they can help others and heal this world. It all starts with us.

Fantastic stories!! I’ve watched 6 or 7 KZfaq clips and I’ll probably still listen to the whole podcast episode!! Did anyone else giggle at him NOT enjoying the bidet ?? Lol tickled me 🤷🏽‍♂️

thank you for existing, joe rogan. and chuck palahniuk

I am in shock. I remember the pool story. I don't remember when or where I read it and didn't even know he wrote it. But I remember that story vividly. Gosh.

17:38 LMAO the cut to Joe.

Why is the full version private? i just came here to rewatch the best JRE episode and all i can found are this clips.

I dont know how many times ive seen this interview

BEST GUEST

This went different than I expected...

Not only do I think that movies are a great medium, but I think that music videos are becoming short films with really rewarding ideas. One band that struck me with those kind of music videos is Girl Band; be warned though, one video that REALLY goes into a dark place is their music video for their song "Paul".

Heating pad!!! Chuck made me the man I am today with that same philosophy. Read FC at 19 and started owning my shame. God damn, it works.

I see Chuck as the kind of guy who always has a tonne on his mind. Thinking about things he's done and hasn't done, maybe regretting them. Regretting them purely from how they affected other people. He seems to always have other people's feelings at the front of his thoughts, and in his work he expresses that from, what I see as, his own perspective. From what I've seen, and read, I think he's a really nice guy, but I'd assume he's a nice guy that doesn't believe he's nice. I'd want him to know that.

The (mother's behavior in the) heating pad story was horrifying.

I bet "the other writers in the Workshop" never got as far as Chick in their writing. Milk Toast stories don't sell. Love Chucks books and his artistic bravery.

My god i love the darkness in this guy

Nice insights into writing, how to do it.

love how they show Joe's reaction for a sec @ 17:38

I was in grade school when the horror move, PSYCHO, was released for viewing and it was different than any monster movie we had going at the time.... it was about human nature and very psychological. It did make us look at people differently. I guess that was the beginning of such transparency? Today we are constantly aware that someone could be watching us and like the song says... paranoia runs deep.... into your life it will creep. We were always told not to talk to strangers though even before the news made it seem common for bad things to happen. Children still played outside with their friends.... but, some kids were kept indoors all the time. Halloween we went door to door for instance but, then stories spread about people putting razor blades in apples, etc. and parents checked whatever goodies their kids brought home. It has been many years since I have seen any trick or treaters where I live. I always buy candy just in case but, end up eating it myself. Probably, just give the kids money? A nickel or a quarter I suppose. This year I don't care.... I'm giving strawberry twizzlers and they aren't individually wrapped. Hey, if you don't trust other people then don't let your kids go trick or treating. LOL

WOW! Podcast with Chuck P!? Hes my favorite author this dude is badass! Everyone go read his short story called 'GUTS'!!!

I dig the authors Get Irvine Welsh

Powerful Rogan doing NDT right after this. Beast mode Wednesday

Joe Rogan said it best.. Holy shit.

What is the best version of the fightclub audiobook on yt? Please gimme a link

Chuck has written some of the darkest stories of all time and hes afraid of a bidet lmao.

Chuck! If you can hear me, books are still great, it’s just harder to find a reliable author like yourself. I loved reading House of Leaves, but due to the ending, I couldn’t rely on the writer anymore. I love all you books but wasn’t huge on the one with the girl in hell, but I read everything up to that point. Rant is tattoo’s on my chest and Haunted is what got me into reading ( I started reading it because of a girl but still). I know you’ve heard this a million times but I’m going to say it one millionth more time, can we please get the sequel to Rant! Pleeeease

This is why I love Palahniuk. Of you're not sharing the stuff that makes your own skin crawl, what's the point?

This is a profound clip. I still remembered it, came back last night and it has helped me on a deep level. One example of the kind of stories Chuck makes space for are the experiences of transgender people, as well as detransitioners who suffered damage from false diagnosis and treatment. I am a man with this disorder (Female-to-Male). That whole area of topic is one of the hardest for humanity to struggle with right now. If people can speak bluntly about their actual experience without being called mentally ill, pathological, mutants or immoral monsters then maybe we will actually liberate ourselves and each other.

I’ll be his social outlet no problem 🙌🙌🙌

Snuff was a good one.

Can´t find the whole episode nowhere, not even on rumble. What´s up with that?

Chuck needs to write a video game !

Yup

this comment is for my self as a reminder timeline bookmark. this is the writing part start to begin 7:45

Some people still enjoy reading a book as much as he enjoys writing one. And later when it's turned into a movie, if the director does a good enough job bringing the book to the screen, alot more people want to read the book. We all know the book is always better. (Except if Stanley Kubrick was the director.)

Chuck is a genius and a national treasure.

2:54 How many people are in theze warchopz...

I'm trying to find this episode to listen to it again, does anybody know what happened or if JRE took it down?

I like Chuck’s opinion of the difference between “writing” and “typing”, is like oil painting vs. using photoshop. Huge difference, and creative experience.

To why'd they private the video?

9:14 I agree with Chuck.

Where's the full podcast

🖤

th writer always knows who their audience is(or shld be).. so thats 2people already involved before th subject is introduced

Joe's expression at 17:38

15:26

cool interview! GOD rules ALL praise HIM i love JESUS CHRIST HE loves you all.

17:38 his face haha 🤣

Layers of Fear

17:30 Whelp, that got me hard. I can hear the police sirens already...

i laughed when chuck called reading a sedative and kept insisting on it hahaha

I've never heard of this author. What do you recommend as a book to start with?

I don't want to be comforted by books.

I am a writer and I WILL one day be in Chuck's position, talking to Joe in a similar way. Watch me.

His shirt is appropiate (joe’s)

sad how folks think that reading is too hard

So let me get this straight. Full episode was removed, right? Whos fault is that? Spotify or Google?

I read in one of his bios, many years ago, that he used to be an amateur bodybuilder. Old age is a bitch...

Joe "That Bathroom You Can Lock" Rogan

1st rule of Fight Club is...you do not talk about Fight Club...

Chuck came in just to get tips from Jamie. It all makes sense now.

Bidets hurt me. Pretty severely in fact. And I'm jealous of that heating pad woman. I don't think I've ever really orgasmed from masturbating. I don't do it to feel good, I do it to clear my mind for a few hours so I can do something other than slowly grow more and more aroused and frustrated.

This dude is interesting.
