Interviewer
Foreign. First of all, man, thanks for coming on. And I. I am a guy who likes smartassery, and I think you, at your age, are Mozart and smartassery. You're very intelligent, dude. You have a lot of quick wit. And you tend to get people. Do they. Do you think they underestimate your intelligence because you're a young guy and you got. You're showing off your healthy hair. Do you think sometimes people make that mistake? Like, oh, he's just like a kid. And then you. As soon as you get in the conversation, you have them backpedaling. Has it always been like that for you?
Matan Evans
No. You know, I think actually a lot of people are pretty precautious with me. Even on my show, a lot of people, they always say no, they don't want to do it. So I'm actually trying out something new. I don't know if it shows here for the audience watching or for you, but I'm trying to become Joe Rogan.
Interviewer
Oh, well, you're not. You know what? We're getting close.
Matan Evans
I would like to go to his house in Austin and then pretend to be him, get rid of him, put his skin on my face, and then look like him. And then I will become Joe Rogan.
Interviewer
That's going to be tough. If I could give you a couple of hints. If you want to be Joe, I think that's fine. I think you want to, but you're gonna have to shave your head. I don't know if you're okay with that, because even if you're gonna wear mine, but even so, if you're gonna put skin over that hair, at least respect. I mean, you have a lion's mane. That's a powerful thing. Men. Men spend millions of dollars and scientists all over the world to have hair like yours. So I think if you're gonna wear a human skin, Ma, you gotta at least make it easier for yourself.
Matan Evans
Maybe just keep my guess, my hair healthy. I can put some sort of silk thing over it.
Interviewer
Maybe some fruits and berries perhaps, you know. Yeah.
Matan Evans
But to be honest, I don't really care about my hair once I've transcended to that point, because it's not like a thing where at night I'm Joe, or in the day I'm Joe Rogan, and at night I'm not. I would like to fool his family into thinking I'm him. I don't want anybody to know it. I want to be Joe Rogan and go to the store. And I want to become Joe Rogan in every single Way imaginable.
Interviewer
Okay.
Matan Evans
Nobody has any idea, not even Joe Rogan.
Interviewer
Oh, okay. Well, if we're gonna do this, we gotta work on the voice. What's your best?
Matan Evans
Hopefully that will come when I start injecting his veins. You know, maybe I'll go to some high level Ukrainian doctor who can take his blood vessels and connect them to mine, and then maybe that will have some natural effect.
Interviewer
So if you get Joe Rogan's DNA, you preferably. Are you gonna ask for it, or is this just because, you know, Joe, from what I understand, is pretty good with his hands in his somehow.
Matan Evans
I need to get a hold of him.
Interviewer
You got to lure him in.
Matan Evans
I just have to get a hold. I'm not threatening him. I love Joe Rogan, which is why I want to become him. You know, I'm a little bit younger, and things are going well for me for the most part, but it's like a progressive thing, and I don't really have time for this anymore because.
Interviewer
Well, what if. Well, if you're going to be. If you're going to be Joe and based off your numbers and social media platform and stuff, then can I be you? Because your platform, I'm thinking in five years. But in five years, I think you're going to be bigger than. Than Joe.
Matan Evans
Yeah, but I don't have time for five years. That's what I'm saying. One year. Five years. I want to just steal his skin, tape it to my body, and then have his children think I'm him when I'm eating breakfast with them.
Interviewer
Yeah, I don't. I don't think this is a good plan.
Matan Evans
I think it's a fantastic plan. The only thing stopping me is Joe Rogan, who is me.
Interviewer
Well, Joe Rogan, common sense, the Austin Police Department, the FBI.
Matan Evans
But they're gonna ask. They're gonna come to my house, Joe Rogan's house. My house. I'm just trying to get into it a little bit. They're gonna come to my house and they're gonna say, is everything okay? And I'm gonna say, yeah, leave my house. Do you have a warrant? They're gonna say no, and then they're gonna leave.
Interviewer
Well, are you gonna clear this through the liver King? Because wasn't that his plan didn't work out well for him?
Matan Evans
I think he just wanted to kill and eat him. I didn't think he was trying to become him. I think he just wanted to kill and eat him.
Interviewer
Well, I think if you. In terms of energies, I think when you consume Something. It becomes you is that. I think that's. I think that was the plan. So it's okay. Your. Your plan is better because he was just going to eat them, just to eat them for kicks and gigs, whereas you're not going to eat them. You would never disrespect him like that. You just want to wear his skin to.
Matan Evans
Well, if the Liver King, if you are what you eat in the Liver King, ate him and became him, that would be good for the Liver King. However, I don't think his brain was thinking that far. It was more of a primal thing. That would have just been an added bonus on top. He really just wanted to eat him.
Interviewer
Okay, so once you. Okay, let's say this plan works out. So you're happily living as Joe Rogan's life and you're getting all these bookings for Matan is how are you going to live? So you're going to lose. You're going to let it all go. You're going to. You're going to leave all this success
Matan Evans
at your age, my family or friends again. I will live in Austin and I will take care of his children.
Interviewer
You're willing. You're willing to be that committed. You're gonna give it all up because you are a popular guy.
Matan Evans
He's more popular and he's more successful than me. And as I said, even if it's true that in five years I'll be more successful than him, I don't have five years. I want to live in this life.
Interviewer
My producer just said it was more like two and a half. He said you're fast tracking another week. Okay, so where are we at with the plan? Do you have a contact number? Do not release it, obviously, everything. But do you have a number? Do you have a plan? Or do we need to break this down from the beginning? Because we got to figure out where.
Matan Evans
I don't really have a plan, to be honest. I'm kind of. I kind of just act on instincts.
Interviewer
Just like a dog chasing a tire, sort of.
Matan Evans
Yeah. So I'm just going to end up booking a flight to Austin.
Interviewer
Okay.
Matan Evans
Shortly after this interview. And then I'm going to arrive there. And luckily, I am a little bit famous, maybe a little well known.
Interviewer
A little well known. Yeah.
Matan Evans
So hopefully somebody knows me there. They say, hey, why are you here? And I say, do you know where Joe Rogan lives? I'm going to steal his skin and become him.
Interviewer
Not hopefully. I like what. I liked your plan.
Matan Evans
Maybe I can ask that to somebody at the airport.
Interviewer
You're divulging when they ask you why you're here, and I think it's good you say, here to see Joe, and just say you guys have a meeting. I think if you go into.
Matan Evans
That would be a lie. Don't have a meeting.
Interviewer
You're not going to get close to him. If the first person you see at the airport and you say, I'm here for his skin, I don't think that's going to go well.
Matan Evans
I'm an honest guy. I'm a truth. I'm a truth person.
Interviewer
A little white lie for the greater good. We've got to get this done. Okay, well, I. I have. I see some holes there. There's going to be some issues unless you find the right guy.
Matan Evans
What if I tell the truth to the right guy and it happens to be a TSA person at the airport who has clearance? They end up showing up at his house with me, and then maybe he's
Interviewer
a metal detector, and we can both
Matan Evans
pretend to be Joe Rogan.
Interviewer
Okay, so TSA agent who has the ability to help you. I. I like. I like that. What would be. Let's see your heart if. Let's pretend I was the TSA agent. I would love to hear your pitch. So I'm like, hey, what are you. Why are you. Hey, you're. I know who you are. You're that guy. What. What brings you to Austin, good sir?
Matan Evans
I'm gonna find Joe Rogan at his house, and I'm gonna become him, and I'm gonna fool his family and his friends, and I'm gonna steal his money and his life.
Interviewer
Wow. That's amazing. Hey, man, you know what? I have a lunch break in 15 minutes. Do you need help?
Matan Evans
You're on to me. You're gonna call the police. I'm gonna kill you.
Interviewer
No, no, I have clearance. If there's my.
Matan Evans
I'm gonna come back to the airport.
Interviewer
Wait a minute. Excuse me, sir. Is that a bottle of water?
Matan Evans
That's a gun.
Interviewer
No, that's a bottle of water. And you're not allowed to have water at the tsa. So guess what? You're not coming in. And you know what? You're banned from Austin.
Matan Evans
I'm already in Austin. I want to leave. It's just a guy.
Interviewer
You're now going back on Spirit Airlines. You're out. You're banned from the Austin airline.
Matan Evans
I don't book any other airline. I don't. I'm not, like, a big spender when it comes to the airline. I'm at the back of the spirit plane.
Interviewer
So thank you. I assumed that you were fiscally responsible, sir, but that does not change the fact you just threatened a TSA agent. So therefore, you are no longer going to be allowed to leave the airport. You know who I am?
Matan Evans
I'm Joe Rogan.
Interviewer
No, you're Mata Evans, and I was going to commentator of the ufc. Well, you know what? You don't have Joe Rogan's skin on right now, so obviously you're not Joe.
Matan Evans
Joe Rogan, he's going to come back here in a couple of days, and he's going to shame you.
Interviewer
Well, I. I will be waiting with bells on for my shaming, sir. But until then, you shall not pass.
Matan Evans
Well, you'll be ashamed. Then I'll go.
Interviewer
I'm ashamed. I'm three times divorced. I had all my children only answer to my brother, sir. I have been ashamed for a long time. I am a TSA agent. This was not my plan. My plan was I wanted to be Arnold Schwarzenegger, and I was going to take his skin and I was going to do Terminator. But no, I had to get married. And then I had my wife run out on me, leave me with the kids, and I had to go to work. I had skin dreams, too.
Matan Evans
Fired by him. You just wanted to be like him.
Interviewer
No, I wanted to be better. I could have. Because I wouldn't have had that.
Matan Evans
Better than him. I'm not trying to be like. I'm not trying to be like Joe Rogan. I am Joe Rogan.
Interviewer
I was going to be Arnold Schwarzenegger. I was so going to be.
Matan Evans
That's a contradiction. You just said you were going to be better. You're just a guy who has. I'm.
Interviewer
Of course it's better because nobody knows him better than I did.
Matan Evans
Security guard at the airport. You are not Arnold Schwartz. N word. You are a bomb at the airport. Let me tell you. I am.
Interviewer
You know what, sir? You know what, sir? That's your faucet.
Matan Evans
For many years before, I hosted the UFC for free because I was a fan of the sport.
Interviewer
That's. I'm. I'm. Be honest with you. That stung. I understand that. I'm a TSA agent, okay? You think I don't know? You think I put this uniform on every morning when I leave?
Matan Evans
Sounds like a schizophrenic. I can't even believe you have this job.
Interviewer
You're crying to Joe Rogan, celebrity.
Matan Evans
I am. I don't have time to hear random agents at the airport cry.
Interviewer
You Know what, sir? It's my lunch break, so I'm going to head out. Good. Best of luck to you and your skin endeavors.
Matan Evans
Okay, great. Well, now that he left, I'm just going to go back to the TSA without the water bottle or whatever.
Interviewer
That is a wise plan, but you just ruined. But that guy's a potential witness. He might have to go. That guy's crazy.
Matan Evans
I don't need to tell him that guy's insane. I mean, that guy, he thinks he's Arnold Schwarzenegger. And the reality is, is that he doesn't think he's him. Like, I think I'm Rogan. He wants to be him. He has that same stupid talk that you could come across any guy walking down the street. They go, I want to be like this guy. I want to be like that guy. The difference is, is that not everybody is a great person. And I've come to that realization and acceptance of myself, which is why I'm Joe Rogan now. I am no longer trying to be like him. I am him.
Interviewer
So you. You told yourself to yourself that you're a great person?
Matan Evans
No, I realized that I'm not a great person. I'm just like everybody else. I'm not one of the great Rogans.
Interviewer
Don't sell yourself short. I think. I think you can move yourself up to at least serial killer level, because that's. You know, that was. That was a Hannibal Lecter thing, wasn't it? He wanted to wear everybody's face. Was that his thing? Actually, that. Actually, that plan worked very well in Silence of Lambs, because that's how he got. But the difference was, he was pretending. He didn't. He wasn't the guard. He was pretending, which is because you're not there to pretend. You are Joe Rogan. Okay, so let's say this plan happens as Joe Rogan. What will be your first act? Will it be. Will it be a new podcast? Are you going to go a different direction? Or. It'll be business as usual to where nobody will even know what happened because you're.
Matan Evans
Well, yeah, I don't want to change his life. You're not understanding. I'm not trying to become Joe Rogan and then improve Joe Rogan's life and make it my own goals. I want to become him. I want to go and sleep in his bed and then wake up and eat what he eats, whatever disgusting raw liver that makes you vomit all over the place, and then take it. Take his kids, take my kids to school, and then go do a Show whatever he does. I would like to. Ideally, I would like to replace my brain with his, and I won't even know anymore that what I've done.
Interviewer
None of us will know. It'll just happen. So we have no idea. This is the perfect plan. You know what? I had some issues with this in the beginning, but this is the perfect plan because none of us will know. If it had, this already could have happened.
Matan Evans
Yeah, well, this could be a recorded
Interviewer
thing that I'm reacting to because you're so clever. You could have been Joe for months now, and none of us will know.
Matan Evans
No, but you're. I can't, because you're seeing me here.
Interviewer
It could be an illusion. How do I know you or you don't? You have.
Matan Evans
Production is not real. The only thing real. I mean, it's. It's very clear how that couldn't happen. There's no way that I could do illusions. I guess this could be fake because we're over video. But it's also very clear that. Yeah, well, AI hasn't reached that level yet, at least in access to the public.
Interviewer
Normal people. But you're kind of a genius.
Matan Evans
That's true. Yeah. I appreciate it. I am Logan. I am extremely successful, former host of Fear Factor and UFC commentator.
Interviewer
Yes. And you know what? Thank you for coming on. I was scheduled to talk to another guy. But you know what, Joe? It's a real honor to have you on. And what's. You know, one of the things that I've always admired about you, Joe, is your ability, your workout abilities. Can you take us through an average workout for you? Like what? Your what? When you wake up in the morning and train, what's it like for Joe? What's a morning like for Joe?
Matan Evans
Yeah, you know, it's really just about playing some good music and getting in that spirit. Have you heard the new AI 50 Cent?
Interviewer
No, because I'm not Joe Rogan.
Matan Evans
Oh, it's amazing.
Interviewer
Oh, man.
Matan Evans
Can somebody pull that up for him? The AI 50 Cent Joe Rogan song.
Interviewer
Somebody. Anyone. This is so embarrassing. I'm sorry. My team is not. You know, it's Fox. You know what I'm gonna do? They said they'd get back to me.
Matan Evans
Okay.
Interviewer
Oh, no. They're giving me the one minute, but. I'm so sorry, miss. I'm so sorry, Mr. Rogan. They said it's coming. We'll. We'll get back to that. So your number one podcast show did it. How did it bother you that they didn't give you podcast of the Year. I thought it was an outrage.
Matan Evans
No, they wanted me to pay $50 to be nominated, and I just wasn't interested in doing that. I mean, I haven't had. I've had this top show for what, seven, ten years? At this point, I need to pay them $50. Go F yourself.
Interviewer
That is bullshit. That is absolutely studying all of the
Matan Evans
things he's been saying. I know you probably thought I was kidding, but you just asked me something and I knew verbatim what his answer was. This isn't a joke to me.
Interviewer
I'm sorry, Joe, you're confusing me right now. Sir, I. Why would I not ask you a question about you?
Matan Evans
Well, are we like, playing pretend?
Interviewer
I mean, clearly, I'm a grown ass man. How dare you. I don't pretend anyone. I don't anyone.
Matan Evans
I'm a real. I'm a real, like down to business, straightforward. No games, guys.
Interviewer
Sorry. You know what, Joe? I thought it was going to be different interviewing you, you know, and I thought you would respect us because I'm be honest with you. I didn't even at school. I never even went outside at recess or lunch because I don't play. So if we could just stick. I know I promised your producers that I'd be respectful, but, Joe, you need to answer these questions. I'm asking you hardline question, Joe, were you emotionally affected by not getting that award for your podcast? I personally think you do, and that's why you're becoming aggressive right now. So just answer the question, please, Joe.
Matan Evans
No, I wasn't. They asked me to pay $50 and I told them no, I don't need to pay you. I've had the top show because somebody gives the award to somebody else. I don't.
Interviewer
Can I get you on the record, Joe is saying that that award is now a participation award?
Matan Evans
Sort of, yeah. You can get me on record for that?
Interviewer
Yeah. Because if it's not your. The numbers don't lie.
Matan Evans
You can also give me on record all I eat is like a bunch of molded, like carcasses of animals that have been injected with extra blood in it. Because I think that will make me healthy. And I believe in those flying spaceships from the underground in Agartha.
Interviewer
Well, speaking of Agartha and I believe. Did you purchase the rights to that because you are an extraordinary businessman. You've got the UFC thing, you have your personal fitness thing, and you're always selling products. Do you actually. You know what? Do you have any products for us this month that some of the young go hards in my production team could use because they're all puny and they need to be jacked like you and train like you and eat cow liver, but they don't have the courage. Is there anything that you could. A product or even some words of encouragement? You know, some classic Joe Rogan stuff?
Matan Evans
No.
Interviewer
Wow. Joe said no. You know what? That makes sense to me.
Matan Evans
Are you talking to somebody there?
Interviewer
Who.
Matan Evans
Who is that? You keep looking to the side, but your thing is kind of like a wrecked vertical.
Interviewer
Once. Once, everybody. Once everyone was aware that Joe Rogan was on the podcast. Today, I have like 15 to 20 people now coming in the studio just trying to get a selfie with you.
Matan Evans
Right. I'm on a video here.
Interviewer
Right. Apparently they're willing to stand next to the screen.
Matan Evans
Yeah. That's sort of embarrassing. And these people work for Fox.
Interviewer
Huge Joe Rogan fans. That's why the outrage over you not getting the award. It's hurt a lot of people. You know, a lot of people dream and aspire to be a great person like Joe Rogan. And the things that you've done and accomplished, what you've done on Spotify, what you've done as the voice over.
Matan Evans
75% of employees at Fox have internal bleeding inside of their head.
Interviewer
Yeah, I think that's just everywhere. But. But I obviously would obviously have it, too.
Matan Evans
Maybe it's at other places, but it's something to do with their brains. Blood is coming out of their ears, but it's not just blood, like normal blood that would come out of your arm. It's a type of blood that kind of has some of the brain in it. It's like you can't tell because it's kind of lifting fiber.
Interviewer
Plasma, perhaps?
Matan Evans
Sort of. Yeah.
Interviewer
It's already coagulated. So it's like the clumpy stuff.
Matan Evans
Yeah, clumpy blood with brain in it. Can you ask for that?
Interviewer
That might be caused by the elevation of being. Of having such high ratings and being number. When you're in the stratosphere above, sometimes I'm number one.
Matan Evans
My show is bigger than the mainstream fake news media. I'm Joe Rogan.
Interviewer
Your show is number one in the streaming platforms, but as far as the little box that everyone likes to sit in front of, we reign supreme.
Matan Evans
Oh, nobody's watching that anymore. They're turning it off.
Interviewer
Oh, well, you just wasted your day, sir. You just. Joe Rogan, you. You just did a show that no one's going to watch.
Matan Evans
No.
Interviewer
Are we sure this guy's Joe? I mean, he looks like Joe. Acting like Joe. But that was some dumbass. That was a dumbass, non Joe answer. I'm confused. I'm confused.
Matan Evans
Maybe, maybe since now I'm Joe Rogan, I can gather and collect all my resources. And since I'm an extremely strong and physically capable person, I can show up to the Fox building and start a brawl with the employees there.
Interviewer
But, Joe, you still have. You're still at the same height, right?
Matan Evans
Yeah, I am.
Interviewer
I'll get you an invitation. No problem. Real quick, I have. Before I let you go, Joe, first of all, thank you. Because now, obviously my numbers are going to go through the roof. So I appreciate. I appreciate the support. I do have a couple guys on the team that are real excited that you're going to be here today. And those are the guys that are there. They keep banging on the glass. If. Would it be okay if they asked you a couple questions? It would be tremendous for their career.
Matan Evans
Yeah, that would be great.
Interviewer
All right, cool. If you could just. If you could just hold for about 10 seconds while we give back.
Matan Evans
I remember when I was a young comic and I had to come up
Interviewer
and you know what, Joe? Thank you so much for being humble, because you know what? You know how rare that is to give back. And, you know, hopefully these young men one day will pay it forward. If not, they're gonna have to answer to Joe Rogan, so. And he's not afraid to eat liver, whether it's a cow or a human being, let's be honest. So come on in, fellas. Let's go. Man up. It's a big opportunity. Do not disappoint.
Matan Evans
I wonder who this is going to be.
Co-host 1
Go ahead, Harry. Ask Joe a question.
Co-host 2
If you are Joe and Tyrus is you, can I become Tyrus and then Ryan can become me?
Matan Evans
I don't know what you're talking about. I'm just Joe Rogan.
Co-host 2
Yeah, I'm just tired.
Co-host 1
What kind of question was that? You have Joe Rogan.
Matan Evans
Hold on.
Co-host 2
The stupid question was when you asked. Oh, so you guys are replacing Tyrus? Yes, I am Tyrus.
Matan Evans
I'm Tyrus. And you're not Joe Rogan.
Co-host 2
And you're not Joe Rogan.
Co-host 1
You look like Sam Bakeman Freed.
Co-host 2
If you're Joe Rogan, how do you properly escape an uma plata? You're a black belt in Brazilian jiu jitsu.
Matan Evans
A magician never reveals their secrets. I don't explain it unless that's not true.
Co-host 2
There are instructionals all over YouTube. You can learn to escape and, uma, Plata properly. Joe Rogan would know how.
Matan Evans
You can learn how to do magic on YouTube, too. But any true magician or any true Mo Plato person will never reveal it to you. That's the thing. Magic is not real, too, but it will never tell you. I mean, it will tell you, but a real magician won't.
Co-host 1
Joe, why are you such a big fan of Ivermectin?
Matan Evans
Yeah, it tastes great.
Co-host 2
I didn't say anything.
Co-host 1
Why. Why are you such a big fan of Ivermectin?
Matan Evans
It tastes great. Now let me ask you. I just said that. You just asked that. Then your other co host there, the one sitting in Tyrese's seat, looked extremely anxious. Looked over to the side. He said, I didn't say anything. What was that about?
Co-host 2
I had to go to the bathroom. Continue.
Matan Evans
You have to go to the bathroom. You said, I had to.
Interviewer
I had to.
Co-host 2
I had to. I just went. It's over.
Matan Evans
No, you didn't say anything about a bathroom. You said, I didn't say anything.
Co-host 2
Yes, that was about the bathroom.
Matan Evans
What? Doesn't even make any sense.
Co-host 2
For some people. It might not continue.
Co-host 1
Joe, what's your favorite food? I've always wanted to know this about you.
Matan Evans
Ivermectin.
Co-host 1
That's a great answer. That's a great. That's a great answer.
Co-host 2
Do you have a middle name?
Matan Evans
Because it makes you yellow and it gives you a nice tan.
Co-host 2
Do you have a middle name?
Matan Evans
Oops, maybe I forgot. That's a good point.
Interviewer
Mmm.
Co-host 1
What was your favorite thing, Joe? Interviewing Tyrus.
Co-host 2
Oh, you got a hole in the. You got a hole behind you there.
Co-host 1
Oh, what holding cell you in?
Matan Evans
Well done. Yeah. My name. My name. My middle name is James.
Co-host 2
James. Joe James Rogan.
Co-host 1
That's right. That's right.
Matan Evans
Joseph James Rogan.
Co-host 1
What was your favorite part about interviewing Tyrus?
Matan Evans
Oh, he was interviewing me. Really, though? Where did he go? Did you guys. Is this, like, not being filmed in New York? Is this being filmed, like, 400 years ago? He, like, you guys had enough of him and you sent him back to work? Like, seriously, what's going on? This is. I don't know if you guys noticed, but right in the back, it says planet Tyrus.
Co-host 1
We're the B team.
Matan Evans
Yeah, but why did you replace him? Why did. Why did it get replaced with the B team?
Co-host 1
Because Tyrus really likes us, and he wants to give us an opportunity. Just like how you had your opportunity as Joe Rogan.
Matan Evans
That doesn't make any sense. Do you understand why that doesn't make any sense or no, no.
Co-host 1
I'm not smart enough like you.
Interviewer
Okay.
Matan Evans
You said Tyrus wants to give you guys the opportunity. Like, I'm Joe Rogan. I have the opportunity, but nobody gave me that opportunity. You guys are being given the opportunity by Tyrus. Inherently. This is a completely different situation.
Co-host 2
So you're taking the opportunity to become Joe Rogan? Is that what you're saying?
Matan Evans
I am Joe Rogan. I was born as Joe Rogan About 57 years ago. 58 years ago.
Co-host 1
Is that because Dana White didn't help you?
Matan Evans
Some people get us confused as the same person, but we're actually two entirely different people, me and Dana White.
Co-host 2
What is your dream?
Matan Evans
That guy must be Italian, right? The guy with the white hair. He kind of looks like that comedian Sebastian.
Co-host 2
Yeah, he's super Italian. Yeah.
Co-host 1
I have no idea who.
Matan Evans
Not you?
Co-host 1
No, not me.
Co-host 2
Him. He looks Italian.
Co-host 1
I look Italian.
Matan Evans
Are you Italian?
Co-host 1
I am.
Co-host 2
Are you Italian? What am I?
Matan Evans
You just look white, to be honest. Maybe, like, Norwegian. I really don't know for you, but. Well, this is a really interesting setup. I've never done a show that's as open as I am about their level of political views, I would say, I
Co-host 1
guess I don't think anyone talked about our political views here. We just wanted to get to know you.
Co-host 2
You've done most of it, right.
Matan Evans
It's not politics. It's common sense.
Co-host 1
Well, I mean. Harry, go speak. I mean, this guy is just making fun of us.
Co-host 2
I could be Norwegian. I like that.
Interviewer
Yeah.
Matan Evans
I'm not making fun of you at all. I just don't understand why you replaced Iris.
Co-host 1
Oh, your connection's so bad.
Matan Evans
My connection?
Co-host 2
Yeah. We lost you. Can you repeat that?
Matan Evans
Yeah, I just. I was just saying I don't know why you guys replaced Iris.
Co-host 2
I don't know why you replaced Joe Rogan. You said you were born in his.
Matan Evans
I am Joe Rogan.
Co-host 2
Do you have your driver's license?
Co-host 1
Filming this from.
Co-host 2
Do you have a driver's license?
Matan Evans
Yeah. Yeah, I do. And I have a tank.
Co-host 2
A tank?
Matan Evans
Yeah.
Co-host 2
What do you do with the tank?
Matan Evans
I go around with my gun and I shoot birds and deers.
Co-host 1
Okay. That's pretty. I mean, that's pretty cool.
Co-host 2
That checks out. It's better than id.
Co-host 1
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's. That's awesome. You seem like a pretty cool guy.
Co-host 2
Joe, Joe, Joe. It seems like that's. That's all that we have for you today. It's actually a pleasure to have you on. It's pleasure to meet you.
Interviewer
Yeah.
Co-host 1
I've always wanted to meet Joe Rogan.
Co-host 2
Do you have any questions to wrap up or anything you'd like to promote or anything that you'd like?
Co-host 1
Oh, my God. Wait, he just put his hair back. You're Matan. Dude, that's who he is. He's Matan.
Interviewer
Evan.
Co-host 2
It's Yvonne.
Co-host 1
Yvonne.
Co-host 2
I always thought it was Matt Nevin.
Matan Evans
As you can see my name here, it says Joe Rogan.
Co-host 2
I can't see your name. What are you talking about? Hey, yeah, no, we. Yeah, we wanted to talk to Rogan, not Matan. So we're done. But thank you.
Interviewer
Yeah, it was cool to meet you.
Co-host 1
Whatever, weirdo.
Co-host 2
Thanks, man.
Matan Evans
Are you bringing back the actual host morons?
Interviewer
Thank you very much for coming on, brother. That was awesome. Thank you.
Matan Evans
All right, nice to meet you. Have a good one.
Interviewer
You too, man. Keep being you.
Podcast: Planet Tyrus
Host: Outkick (Tyrus)
Guest: Matan Even
Date: February 26, 2026
This episode of Planet Tyrus delivers a raucous, oddball, and satirical conversation as Tyrus hosts internet personality Matan Even. Together, they riff on identity, ambition, and the absurdity of influencer culture—especially through a recurring, tongue-in-cheek bit where Matan details his "plan" to become Joe Rogan, down to replacing his skin and fooling Rogan’s family. The show’s signature irreverence is on full display, brimming with sharp wit, subversive humor, and meta-comedic exchanges about fame, legacy, and authenticity. The conversation bounces from surreal improvisations to clever jabs at celebrity obsession. Co-hosts join later for more absurd roleplay and rapid-fire banter.
"I would like to go to his house in Austin and then pretend to be him, get rid of him, put his skin on my face, and then I will become Joe Rogan." (01:04, Matan Even)
"They wanted me to pay $50 to be nominated, and I just wasn't interested in doing that... Go F yourself." (14:04, Matan Even as Joe Rogan)
"75% of employees at Fox have internal bleeding inside of their head." (17:18, Matan Even as Joe Rogan)
"A magician never reveals their secrets. I don't explain it unless that's not true." (20:38, Matan Even as Joe Rogan) "Ivermectin. Because it makes you yellow and it gives you a nice tan." (21:45, Matan Even as Joe Rogan)
"Wait, he just put his hair back. You're Matan. Dude, that's who he is. He's Matan." (25:33, Co-host 1)
"As you can see my name here, it says Joe Rogan." (25:43, Matan Even)
"Yeah, but I don't have time for five years. That's what I'm saying. One year. Five years. I want to just steal his skin, tape it to my body, and then have his children think I'm him when I'm eating breakfast with them." (03:21, Matan Even)
"What if I tell the truth to the right guy and it happens to be a TSA person at the airport who has clearance?" (06:37, Matan Even)
"No, they wanted me to pay $50 to be nominated, and I just wasn't interested in doing that. ... Go F yourself." (14:04, as above)
"75% of employees at Fox have internal bleeding inside of their head." (17:18, Matan Even)
"I am Joe Rogan. I was born as Joe Rogan about 57 years ago. 58 years ago." (23:19, Matan Even)
"Ivermectin. Because it makes you yellow and it gives you a nice tan." (21:45, Matan Even)
Memorable closing moment:
"Are you bringing back the actual host morons?" (26:01, Matan Even, breaking character)
The episode is a tongue-in-cheek exploration of fame and online personas disguised as a wild, improvised plot to “become” Joe Rogan. Matan Even and Tyrus volley sharp wit, inside jokes, and satirical jabs at celebrity, podcasting, and the business of public personas, all while never letting the listener forget that it’s all an absurd and subversive act.
