Joey Diaz - No Susquehanna (from Joe Rogan Experience #128)

Episode Summary

Main Topics Discussed

This segment of the podcast is overwhelmingly dominated by a heated, yet comedic, argument between Joe Rogan and Joey Diaz about the quality of cannabis provided by Joe. Joey vehemently complains that the weed, which he dubs "Susquehanna weed," is subpar and does not get him high, despite having smoked a significant amount. Joe, in turn, defends the weed, suggests Joey's high tolerance or physical size is the issue, and expresses increasing frustration with Joey's persistent complaints, especially given the live podcast setting. Joe's attempts to shift the conversation to his weekend in Philadelphia for the UFC are continuously thwarted by Joey's singular focus on the inadequate weed.
