Scott Horton· Guest0:19
Yeah, my right ear hurts a lot from- Oh ... years of this.
Joe Rogan· Host0:22
There's a volume- And so I usually just leave it off. There's a volume adjuster thing too, so if, if it's too loud- Oh, is there? ... you can turn it up or turn it down.

You sound good.
Joe Rogan· Host0:28
No, it's- But no, it's just, I have a pain in my right ear, so I try not to antagonize it. And thank you very much for the gift, ladies and gentlemen. Scott Horton gave me a professorial pipe. And, uh, like I was saying- Awesome ... Metzger uses a pipe now because of you.

Joe Rogan· Host1:15
Just seems like everything's so calm and peaceful.
Scott Horton· Guest1:15
We'll just have to go back over Vietnam or something, you know?
Joe Rogan· Host1:18
Yeah, yeah, some- the old stuff, back when we didn't know any better.
