You can scroll back to the beginning to watch that whole 12-minute clip. I actually listened to the entire 3+ hours of the podcast on Spotify. Roth is such a motor mouth, but it's all pretty interesting. He did leave Rogan in the dust, though. The main thing Roth got across — if you take the 3 hours as a whole — is that he's internalized the lesson his father taught by asking — every night at the dinner table — what did you contribute?
In case you're wondering, Roth will be getting a new tooth. I forget how he said he got that one knocked out.
Speaking of Spotify, I like that — at the age of 70 — I've been able to hear something new now and then and genuinely adopt it as a personal favorite. When I was a teenager, it was so easy to accept new musical artists and really love them — internalize them. Now, it's an amazing delight when something leaps into the place in my head that was so open when I was young. Yesterday, I clicked on this and immediately took it to heart:

Yes! I think I was drawn to them a few years ago when I saw the movie "Nebraska" and was taken by the soundtrack, which, as it turns out, was composed by Mark Orton, and had accompaniment from members of the Tin Hat Trio. I had listened to Mark Orton over the years, but did not know of Tin Hat Trio. So, this became a good find for me. They are a part of my regular playlists. I had listened to Mark Orton over the years as he appeared in various formats (and soundtracks).
Another one that back-doored into my life from a soundtrack is Sun Kil Moon (who is in fact, Mark Kozelek). I think I first heard, or noticed that I heard his music at the end of a show or bad movie and I can't recall which show or bad movie. The song was "Ceiling Gazing" and looking it up turned me into this music as both Mark Kozelek and Sun Kil Moon. Apparently he's kind of an asshole, or attracts other people who make him react like an asshole, but I love his music.
Over the last decade I've been turned onto more music from soundtracks to good shows (like Max Richter from The Leftovers) than from actually listening to Spotify, which I don't do. Soundtracks have always had the ability to supercharge the mood or image in a movie or show.

"I knew immediately that was Mark Orton-involved. He did, I believe most notably—at least for me—the “Nebraska” soundtrack, which is a delight. Name-dropping story: I have a good friend who’s a TV writer and he was the head writer for “Last Man on Earth” starring Will Forte. I was in California once and Andy invited me to the set. Which happened to be a beach in Malibu for this episode. It was also 2 AM! In between shots, Andy introduced me to Will. I suddenly found myself alone with him at the craft services table. Will turned to me and asked how I knew Andy, etc. I took the opportunity to ask him about “Nebraska” because I had just seen it, loved it and was really touched by Forte’s performance. He remarked that he thought Orton’s soundtrack really made the movie."
