On the podcast, Smith, who had a at age 47 in Feb. 2018, shares a story about how he unabashedly used his heart attack to guilt celebrities into making cameos in Jay and Silent Bob Reboot.
I reached out to like everyone I know about being in the movie. Even the people who are like, Ah, I dont want to go to New Orleans. Thats far,' Smith says on the podcast. I [was] like, You do remember I almost died of a fucking heart attack. And they were like, Alright, Im coming. I guilted like everyone into coming.

But one person the tactic didnt work on was Rogan himself. Using the story as proof of Rogans authenticity amid his fame, Smith says he asked the podcast host to appear in the film rebootbut Rogan had only five words for him.
I fucking email or texted Joe and I said, Hey man, were making Reboot. Do you want to come play?' Smith says on the podcast, as Rogan listens on. And just flat out on Front Street, as true as he can be, [Joe] goes, I hate that acting shit. Thats what you wrote.
Rogan then shared his busy schedule keeps his priorities minimal, adding that he has to say no to everything. But theres no hard feelings, with Smith saying the response was adorable and on-brand for Rogan.
Though Rogan isnt a film buff like Smith, the two still have a lot in commonincluding a love for marijuana. On the podcast, Smith also shares how deep his relationship with cannabis is, especially after his heart attack. The filmmaker tells Rogan that he is high every waking moment, only taking breaks from marijuana consumption when he cant access the drug overseas.
Post-heart attack, I feel like Im living on borrowed time anyway, Smith tells Rogan. So, Im going to spend that time as well as I possibly canand generally in a THC-drenched condition.

In fact, Smith brought along the new , created in partnership with cannabis brand Caviar Gold, to gift Roganfor use after , of course. The pair of comedians also discussed killing it (and bombing it) at shows, intermittent fasting, and UFOs and exterrestrial life.
At the end of the podcast, Smith shared that he started filming the Jay and Silent Bob Reboot one year to the day of his heart attack as a big fuck you to the health scare. And it certainly seems like hes thriving in the aftermath.
