Joe Rogan: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to another episode of the Joe Rogan Experience. My guest today is the co-creator of Rick and Morty, Justin Roiland. Justin, how are you doing today?
Justin Roiland: Hey Joe, I'm good. Thanks for having me on.
Joe Rogan: So, let's get right to it. I'm sure a lot of people want to know about the recent news regarding the domestic abuse charges that were dropped against you. What can you tell us about that?
Justin Roiland: Yeah, it was a tough time for me and my family, but I'm just glad it's all over now. The charges were dropped due to lack of evidence, and I'm just happy to put it all behind me.
Joe Rogan: Alright, fair enough. But, I gotta bring up something else that's been circulating lately. There are some pretty incriminating text messages that have come out where you were engaging in inappropriate conversations with minors. What's your explanation for that?
Justin Roiland: Oh man, here we go again. Look, I was just joking around, you know? Just messing with them.
Joe Rogan: Look, I'll give you some texts for you to read and then you'll tell me if was a correct thing to say. Here.Justin Roiland: "Why are you such jailbait? What's wrong with you in that regard? You should grow older you dumb biiiiitch"
Joe Rogan: I mean...
Justin Roiland: Oh, come on Joe, you know me. I'm just a quirky guy. I was just messing around and trying to be funny. It was all a big joke.
Joe Rogan: Alright, here, read another one.
Justin Roiland: "Ohh school tomoLLow? Ohhh noooooo! You should just run away from home and go into sex slavery YOU FUCKING STUPID FAGGOT BITCH!!! Haha, just kidding"
Joe Rogan: Look. I don't think that's going to fly with a lot of people, Justin. You can't just joke around about that kind of stuff.
Justin Roiland: Joe, I'm a genius. I'm the co-creator of one of the greatest animated shows of all time. Can't people just overlook a little thing like this?
Joe Rogan: Well, I don't know if it quite works like that. You gotta take responsibility for your actions. Last one, here.
Justin Roiland: "Is it cool being jailbait? Does the FBI follow you around arresting all the men you sleep with?"
Joe Rogan: (silence)
Justin Roiland: Yeah, I know. I messed up. But come on, Joe, you have to admit that some of those texts were pretty hilarious.
Joe Rogan: I can't say that I agree with you there, Justin. It's a serious matter.Justin Roiland: But Joe, it's just harmless fun. And besides, if I get in trouble for this, there won't be any more Rick and Morty. Think about the fans, man.
Joe Rogan: I don't think anyone would argue with that. But you can't just dismiss this as a joke.
Justin Roiland: I hear you, Joe. But can't we just focus on the good things I've done? Like creating Rick and Morty, or that time I voiced a character in Gravity Falls?
Joe Rogan: Those are great accomplishments, Justin. But you can't just ignore the bad things you've done. It's time to face the music and make things right.
Justin Roiland: Alright, I'll do my best. But if the fans don't get more Rick and Morty because of this, it's on you, you stupid bitch. Just kidding, man. But seriously, I'll make things right.
Joe Rogan: I hear you, man. You gotta own up to your mistakes and move forward.
Justin Roiland: Thanks for understanding, Joe. I'm Atlanta drunk.
Joe Rogan: What? Anyway, time to end this. Thanks for coming on the show.
Justin Roiland: Thanks for having me, Joe.
