Joe Rogan Experience #1981 - Pauly Shore

Summer 2001, I'm a technician on tour with two actors. They want to visit the Comedy Store, which I had never heard of and thought it was a literal store to buy comedy things. They were losing their minds being in front of comedy holy land. So because we wanted tickets and I was the only one calm enough, I entered the side back door which was open. As I walked down this little hallway past pictures of celebs on the wall, from the end of this hallway I hear a guy yelling at his mother, "Mom what the fuck" and out of a door pops out Paulie. His instant question was, "what are you doing here man?". So I explained the situation, and he stopped me and asked "...wait, you've never heard of this place?" After saying no, he gave me a 10 min personal tour of the place. Amazing. He then either gives me 3 tickets or tells me he'll remember me, I don't remember, but either way there's a catch: I can't tell my two actors about meeting him or the tour! He would be at the entrance greeting people, if we show up tonight and they still don't know, we get front row seats. If they thank him, back row. I didn't say shit. We get there and upon seeing Paulie, they, again, loose their minds. I'm last behind them. After they say whatever fans say, my turn passing him we simply fist bumped and he told me, "Nice job dude". Thanks Paulie, my best side story ever. They still don't know! Andrew Dice Clay ripped into us because when he asked "So, is anyone from outta town?" my actress yelled "WE'RE FROM CANADA!". Great night.

Paulie is an odd fellow but I really enjoy seeing behind the scenes in his eyes. The way he lifts everyone up sincerely is commendable. I think more of him now after this interview and a few others than I ever have.

Joe Rogan podcast is therapy. Providing this for us all is a gift.

Pauly shore knows everyone and has stories for days. The comedy store is legendary.

Bio dome was a life changing movie for me lol love Pauly and Steven Baldwin together 😂😂.

Paulie is smart as hell,his memory is amazing

Long time fan of Mr.Shore iv watched son in law and in the army now like 100 times plus many others you've been in. Happy to see that you're still in the game maybe one day I'll be able to afford to come see u live. Love talent Paulie

After seeing Paulie in soo many podcasts this year , I would have to say that this is the most normal , awake , and alert that I have seen him so far.

Good for Pauly showing his dad some love and defending him. He loves his mom but she abused his father, among others.

Love Pauly, I was so excited to see this episode
