APE MAN I own ‘Naked Lunch’ it’s hard to comprehend and therefore a struggle to get through. I have read ‘Junky’ by William S Burroughs which is much easier and own his novel ‘Queer’ as well.
One of the funniest jokes I heard was Joann Rivers about her husband who committed suicide. It was a real life situation with her daughter at a restaurant. Her daughter had basically withdrawn and wouldn’t speak to anybody including her mum. They were out at a restaurant and they were looking at the menu, and nobody was saying anything, then Joann said’ it’s good job daddy ain’t here, otherwise with these prices he’d kill himself all over again. And they both hysterically laughed. She then started telling that joke on stage. Brilliant.

Benjamin Jenssen what do you look like? She’s not ugly. You are just a piece of shit, so the steaming stench coming off you, you may mistaken as someone else’s stench.
All the men disturbed that he described the dead boy’s body as perfect (to mean undamaged) is a little suspect... my mind didn’t even think of it as sexual.. y’all projecting much?
I no exactly what he meant brother just like he didn't look as if he should be dead he was perfect and unscathed doesn't mean he likes naked boys people are just fucked up as u say nothing we can do about that brother 🙏
No its just most people don't hear the word "perfect" used in that context. Like you'd say the woman you married is perfect, thanks for making that more clear.
The disassociation he describes in the story about the kid being autopsied is part of what people in that profession have to be able to do in order to survive. Humans, at least some of us, have a fascinating ability to compartmentalize.
Almost seems like compensating for an insecurity. I think I could just do the job without any mental disturbance or comment or emotional disturbance, from what I know of myself. But then again I haven't been there on a daily basis.
@@mikuspalmis whatever it is, its being able to do it that count imo. On one of his talk, jordan peterson was talking about how human are creative about hurting people because they know what would hurt them. I forgot the complete context, but at some point he was saying that(paraphrasing) how some people will say that they dont have it in them to hurt others horribly or that you have to be insane to do it, when actually its not, there is only a few mental acrobatics you need to go through to reach that point. Which shows that, no matter the action, you can actually rationalise the idea behind it, and its easier than you think
You nailed this perfectly. I work in the operating room and see things daily that would make other people throw up. How do we do it? We have to compartmentalize.
He's truly correct. His form of literature is restricted in prison. I've had literature from Robert Greene and Sun Tzu confiscated but they allowed books that portrayed drugs, prostitution, violence as apart of an acceptable culture, to be read and ordered into the prison.
@@TheDirector_ of course. And pray and control and creating the biggest divide possible between the have and the have nots, the gap keeps getting wider and wider....

Chuck Palahniuk's nightmares must be interesting, a buddy of mine works as a mortician and he tells me his nightmares are super bizarre, like he once told me he dreamt himself walking a path where he knew he would be killed at the end destination but he couldn't stop himself from getting there because there was nowhere else to go, but he wasn't even scared, in the dream he was all meh about it, it's not until he woke up that he got scared, like, he has seen so many dead bodies and so much fucked up shit his subconscious doesn't even bother with being symbolic anymore.
Uh.... that seems like a pretty symbolic dream, the path being life itself, you can not do anything but progress down the path and death is the end of it.
When I was in college,pre-med,UofA (Bear Down Cats) we went to go watch a autopsy. The corpse was laying on the stainless steel table and suddenly it raised its body up from his waist about 25-30 degrees and let out a huge burp. Man people flipped the fuck out. 2 chicks fainted,I mean turned white after screaming and were out. Dudes next to them caught them and they came to pretty quickly but wanted out of there. The corpse also farted and that was the worst thing I have ever smelled in my life. They later told us that this happens more than you think. Gases built up and they get released. I will never forget that for as long as I live.
He’s a writer, he’s describing the scene of the dead boy in the room as an aesthetic phenomenon; if you develop fucked up thoughts from it that’s on you, a writers job is to paint a scene for us and as far as I’m concerned he did it really elegantly. As someone in the comments said, the world is fucked up, not the lens
His story about Americans loathing natural beauty over manufactured beauty makes me think of someone such as Kylie Jenner and the fortune she has made just off of her transformation from very milquetoast to the “pinnacle” of sexiness. There are so many other examples as well. Very well thought out observation.
Now that the standard is becoming impossible, surgically constructed, few women will be able to meet the standard. Wait until the people who grew up on the anime beauty type grow up. THEN you'll see some surgeries.
4:31 I was just drawing until I hear that and immediatly stopped what I was doing; not by frustration, not by grief, but just freezing... and that's why I love that story. It's so goddamned powerful!
I have a few thoughts here. First, to the people criticizing the content of his writing, that’s ridiculous to me. People who write for shows like CSI, Law & Order, X-Files etc. write scripts like this with the same type of content and people eat it like candy. What’s the difference? Also in regard to him describing the boy as “perfect,” I didn’t interpret it as perverted. By “perfect” I thought he meant undamaged because he had only hit his head and their was no visible wounds which makes it surreal. Funny how other people read into things so differently. Just my thoughts. He’s a great author and keeps it real. Loved that he referenced Tropic Of Cancer- same wavelength.
My father was a practicing pathologist. My aunt wanted to see an autopsy. According to her, he was talking about real estate the whole time. Handling and weighting the deceased body parts.
I'm pretty sure by perfect he means unharmed as in it was a trauma that left no Mark's on the child, and his body was left perfectly healthy despite a head injury killing him
Pretty sure he means perfect as in wasnt damaged by the accident. Also you can tell hes told this story before, when hes responding to Joe after he asks a question, hes slightly less composed in the way he speaks. His use of the word perfect is probably to illustrate the idea of a wholesome and pure child, which makes the listener feel even worse when he describes the act of peeling the face off of the child in the autopsy.
First time hearing Palahniuk talk about stories he's been told? You think that one's bad, try Guts; several people outright fainted hearing it being spoken live.
What makes really great comedy is the raw, naked, visceral TRUTH of life. Laughing at reality is the most healthy way do deal with the dark, oppressive realities of every day life. Things that everyone (whether they admit it out loud) has experienced. It's a release. A way to realize, "hey, I'm not the only one", and to let it go...
Chuck is great by himself but him and Joe together are perfect! Can't believe I missed that they had a podcast but at least I have a good excuse considering the day it aired.
@4:31 I am so dark humored, I genuinely laughed when I heard it. Anything can be funny, it’s just a matter of delivery and perspective. The perfect shade of red.
I read several of his books while incarcerated. The libraries won’t carry them but you can order them from an approved vendor. He’s a good writer to pass the time with. I traded his books throughout the block.
The people that are looking at the girl in the wheelchair are not concerned at whatsoever about the girl in the wheelchair, it's much more selfish than that. They're concerned about what everybody else would think about them if they laughed at the joke. It's about how they can say that they're morally Superior to someone that did laugh.

I have read quite a few of his books in prison in Indiana. They were library books. I had read Lullaby, Choke, and Rant at one prison, then at a higher security prison I read Damned, Doomed, Pygmy maybe few more. I am certain If administration knew the content they would not be allowed there. There.was a bunch of Richard Laymon books too. Those are..I don't even know how to describe Laymons books..

I laughed, says a lot about me.
Great Content ! I've Subscribed. Greetings from the French Alps. 💖🐕
Awesome interview!
I read many of Chuck's books while in prison in Oregon and California.
I’m mad at whoever pointed out the reverse chair sit... can’t take this guy serious now
What does someones comfort have to do with the knowledge they are passing on, be it relevant or irrelevant ?
shan Matama calm down there, Shawn.
@@bullets1085 hahaha, i was and am still calm. But I doubt you also think it's right to judge someone by the way they sit. More over that's a laid back talk show, it's not a presidential debate. It's not fair🙂
@@willami2957 all good, proves the ignorance of some people goodjob
I have loved that Sam Kinison bit forever!! And for a really long time no one ever heard it. So to hear Joe bring that up is so cool. Thanks Joe!
Reversed the chair. The ultimate act of dominace
I read his books in prison. Invisible monsters
Lmao as he said u can’t get it there 😂😂😂
Didn't Fight Club have a formula for making some kind of explosive in it? I could see why you'd want to keep that out of a prison.
Pain is funny. Your pain makes you laugh. And if it’s someone you really care about, it’s even more funny
Thank you
He explained college campuses so well. If you're in college listen and understand this is the truth for a lot of people.
Ooooh I love that beauty story. So true too
Well put. Totally agree.
What an incredible casual impression of Sam!
I read all of chucks books in prison
damon2772nomad me too
I read them all twice
You're not allowed to hang out if you're on parole ;)
Are they good books?
Edit: whats the best one
@@robotrobot4430 each one is its own delight...rant, choke,...all of them really. They will put you in a forced perspective of uncomfortable self awareness.
9:48 Nicely put. I'm definitely gonna use "recreational outrage" on fb
i f*cking love this guy. fight club is one of my favourite movies. hes brilliant and great choice as fincher as a director. much love chuck.
So True good people save everyone...
Sam Kinison is one of the best ever! It was great hearing 2 of my favorite Sam bits again!
I loved the book "Damned", guess I could relate to the dead girl and the end was so weird I went searching for more of Chuck's work. His writing is really good, so different from of other authors.
I couldn't buy your books in Prison order order them through the library. Your mind is amazing thank you for your ability to see beyond the grey
People aren’t censoring it because it offends THEM... they censor it because it’ll offend someone they KNOW! Thats perfect
I have read quite a few of his books in prison in Indiana. They were library books. I had read Lullaby, Choke, and Rant at one prison, then at a higher security prison I read Damned, Doomed, Pygmy maybe few more. I am certain If administration knew the content they would not be allowed there. There.was a bunch of Richard Laymon books too. Those are..I don't even know how to describe Laymons books..
one of my favorite authors. i live in PA and i know the book Snuff wasnt allowed in certain jails....im an avid JRE listener and never thought about Chuck being on. good choice Joe!!! for those of you that like his stories i recommend reading his non fiction work Stranger than Fiction...
I spent 18 months in cambria county prison and read some of his stuff
Joe nailed that "don't worry, be happy"
Joe's response to the Sarah Jessica Parker story reminds me of watching Van Wilder. Being the only one laughing until Taj explains the joke...
Did time in Texas and had Invisible Monsters, Snuff, and Damned BUT wasn't allowed Fight Club, Lullaby, and Survivor.
So glad no one took “ perfect naked 12 yo boy “ out of context.
Both are amazing listeners and Chuck might be the best writer of my time. In my opinion. This might be my favorite out of all the Rogan's.
I wish there were links in the description to books, videos, and podcasts mentioned.
I get the feeling he is the Dexter of writers and may or may not be a serial killer
I was reading some Bukowski this afternoon...That shit would not fly today.
Maybe you would love
TROPIC of CANCER and LAKED LUNCH
APE MAN i probably would, thanks. ill keep that in mind
Bukowski was a genius.
Niche markets have more value now that they're more oppressed. Supply and demand, you just need to source the forum.
Post office is still funny
One of the authors that got me into reading when I was younger. My older sister gave me her copy of fight club and a week later I was at the library for choke qnd lullaby
Wow Chuck thanks for the tales.
