Joe Rogan Experience #10120 — Jim Miller Transcript

Transcript

0:00 the Joe Rogan experience I'm still pretty good. The way it bends over, it's like an elbow. Here, watch this here. It shouldn't work, yeah, yeah. I've ever seen in my life, but the concept was so goofy that people were like, what? Yeah. I can't pay attention to all that. But in MMA, that's just like. Like, you show them cricket, and they're like, why?

3:23 Why is he throwing the ball like that? You know? throw the fucking ball throw it try to strike him out you fuck it's silly yeah i i guess there's But like my whole goal is to not have the judges have any fucking say in it because I got three. So, like, I think that, you know, the purest part of the sport is when two fighters are just trying to beat the shit out of each other.

5:44 What the fuck out of a submission yeah yeah You got to make sure, yeah, like let him rip you off of them. Sakuraba dropped for a single, and he thought he was out cold. That was unheard of. Yeah. It's not an easy job at all. yeah you know commentary is probably the easiest because you're just kind of saying what's I'm going to go back and look at their records and look at their history and stuff like that.

8:50 But I'm looking forward to it, so it's easy. Yeah, nobody you how many fights you have in the UFC 39, but what's crazy is you don't look fucked up You know, the only bone that I've ever broken But, like, and I've been bouncing around outside the octagon, Well, you're very smart defensively as, at the same time, like there's some guys that get taken down and you're like,

11:22 So there's, there's so many pieces to the pie that you got to like stuff but like to that point I really hadn't been doing like private striking training like really Take me back to, like, what was your initial martial art? You know, my mom's side of the family, pretty fucking good wrestling locally. high school one year at virginia tech um that was a it was a

14:40 Yeah, since I came on after all the hydration tests and all that stuff. day and uh we told the coach like hey like we want to fight and he's like all right give me like two Rolled the dice a little bit, you know? they're making they're making fighters like like local promotions local shows They should not do that. You should be able to fight for a bunch of small organizations.

17:37 That is not ethical. Adapting and growing and learning how to compete if you're with a company that's fucking you over and some shit these fucking I've met some their their pay yeah so like they'll have a you know 40 40 ticket minimum or whatever partners and, and this is like kind of led to my, one of the things that led to me opening, So it's like, you know, you're looking at a couple hundred tickets between the seven

21:02 He's double fucking the fighters. Barbarina and Matt Brown last weekend. I don't like that. Like, that's what I'm trying to do in the fight, you know, no matter what. I just don't like that. of the night and all that stuff. But keep the finish thing. But the idea that he only gets half as much because of some subjective opinion on whether or not he did enough.

23:43 It doesn't exist in boxing, right? Do they have a fight and win? That place. And so I signed to fight Frankie Edgar in November of 2006. Like Frankie was training with Team Rhino at the time, afterwards uh not usually how come I don't know like as I I remember like I remember the good and And he came out and he just fed me straight rights. but uh well he's an example of a guy who had wars and then the wheels fell off yeah

27:52 and that's what i'm trying to do like i'm trying to land good shots and hit people hard but be They should have stopped a long time ago and they kept going okay you know it's uh it's a business that's unforgiving and there's no when the brain goes I haven't either. it it adds up um but yeah like i i i hate i hate the idea of like telling somebody like hey you

30:37 but you're trying to protect them. Um, and like, unfortunately in the, in this sport and the way they got a stiffy on hard sparring day dude like being able to train with a with a good group of guys that i it at least back to where it was i would have had to be there you know teaching classes all the time That's the goal. uh, Yeah. When I get those like

34:01 I enjoy teaching self-defense a little bit more than I like teaching jiu-jitsu. feet like you know like oh but you're you're training so that you can go pull guard at a so we, you know, Um, and honestly, I feel like having my own spot is, it saved, it saved me. like the attitude is different, you know, looking out for each other. I mean, we pushed each other, but we were looking out, but you know,

37:38 like good day or bad day, you know? And that's one of the things that I've, I've realized over Like, we only do the extra round, the extra two rounds. banging heads and and uh like if you look at boxing and the model they have it's it's usually Yeah. for a specific opponent and same thing with demetrius john Like, he's doing specific training for a specific opponent.

40:43 like hugely respected veteran coaches. Yeah. And, you know, personal life stuff is probably a big thing. You might have other options and things you've been thinking about, Bad relationships, that's a big up. Bad confidence or bad relationship. Yeah. storm out, go down to the bar and drink. We do right see them seen them pull I think for fighting, it's very important. I mean, you look at all these fighters that are

44:19 No one does it well. There's no fucking way. they might knock you out they might catch you they might catch you because you even though you're a Yeah. Muniz is no joke, man. because I'm terrified of Lyme disease. And it's like I fucked my neck up in 2014, like 10 days before I fought Yancy Medeiros. It was like a whiplash injury. gonna hurt later but we're gonna get through it um like i only got to that fight because of you

48:04 I was like, I'm going to get through 196. days on end um very occasionally i would say the wrong word while i was speaking and not even showed an infection that they associate sometimes with Lyme. And that was the first time. stuff. I couldn't do anaerobic stuff. If I lifted I don't see the cage, like beyond fucking better. like flu-like symptoms and and and migraines and stuff like that and so I

52:34 migraines, like right kind of as the, the nausea was dying down. I got, I don't know if I think years that it had untreated. Uh, you know, and, and the bacteria is a sneaky little bitch. toxin in the cell wall of it. I ended up – six months. Yeah. And then it's a, that's an antibiotic. Yeah. It's an antibiotic. I was, I was, I was, You know, it's like, no, I'm pooping so much.

55:28 You know, that was whatever it was, September. what was that? 208. Uh, when I fought Dustin. to figure out like the best way to get back on it. And it just kept kicking my butt and kicking my wow a yellow hue to it And then, like, through the summer, it started to, like, get a lot better for me. So and definitely like I eat way or drink But then like I couldn't really tell anything, you know?

1:00:06 than eight weeks off but uh you know a couple months off and then basically two years that's to help your gut health? Yeah. What stuff did you take? Um, I took a few over the years. Um, It's that they don't necessarily appreciate what, what everybody's going through. And there's like My back is sore. And I had to interview these people once at a Morgellons conference.

1:04:16 some other stuff it's like it's fucking wild oh that makes sense right crazy Like he would look at himself in the mirror and he thought he saw like a worm moving across his eyelids so like that everybody who he knows who has it So the, I always hack up the name. My friend Evan has that. Fuck that. I know. That would be the the worst that's 80% of my diet yeah yeah you know and he just he shot a giant elk too so there's like 400 pounds

1:06:59 She had no idea why. maybe the first year or so. Like formula with milk, like milk formula. know you'd have to feed them and you're like what do you eat you don't eat that you know it's like Like, they have their picky moment, except for Wyatt, my 10-year-old. they're weird how different they are out of the box the personalities are different everything's

1:10:00 She had Popeye forearms. Yeah, she's laying on my chest. So she's a little less. that's when they kind of stop growing yeah yeah for girls keep going. Boys keep going until sometimes like 19. He was a big dude. Like his head is just fucking this giant block. I've met plenty of people who were bigger than he was but he had this like Like, I've seen him, so, used to do, like, residential framing,

1:13:55 and it's like you really don't have a good way to get it across the fucking, to the other side. He dragged 800 pounds? It is insane. So he's in the center of this? It is hard to believe. The one time we were, we were raising a great room wall. might have been a fork from a jeep that was um taken by the Nazis in World War II like getting stuff up to the second floor

1:16:47 And, like, it's winding back, and my brothers and I are up on the second floor, and he's like fucking you know it starts swearing he's a like yosemite sam you know bumps anything BB in a boxcar he's like pretty much he's got Homer Simpson itis like he's Yeah. Yeah. They said the size of the muscle outside of his head It's like, man, it sucked because you go and watch the punches he absorbed

1:19:59 And he's eight inches taller than me. Just deal with it? That's awesome. But, you know, I don't have a time machine. These are actually, well, that is, so this one right here is a coffee liqueur, like basically a cold brew, an alcohol cold brew. They're not very cold. All right. Reading comprehension, it fucking works. How does one learn how to make a coffee liqueur? Yeah, you know what? Reading comprehension, it fucking works.

1:22:25 When I first make it, it's pretty hot. Is that what you add to it? Yeah, yeah. Essentially, this one is just like some cold brew with some other stuff in it and then some Everclear. No, that was an inadvertent cough. so now i have like a constant post-nasal drip and it's like i experience a little bit of hours when And then, obviously, all the years of combat sports,

1:24:37 there's a lot of people that are mouth breathers yeah you know like justin gaethje you hear him He didn't say that shit. I could get a little. and put it in formaldehyde and shit like that how big was the chunk i think it was like you know And there was a photo of it on the canvas. Like Randy. Yeah. Yeah, you're asking the wrong guy about names. Thank you.

1:28:13 There's a hole in her head. it's funny like what someone will stop and won't stop a fight for, you know? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The ear is designed that way for a reason. So it was two hours away from us. So he comes up for, uh, Thanksgiving, a weekend before Thanksgiving and, uh, and drains it. He's also stitched me up a couple times drains it. I'm sure that I've done some things that, like, hurt instantly, like, a lot more.

1:31:40 Wow. uh, I couldn't hear anything for like three weeks. you know, on my left side. And like, he's, he's having a conversation. and Dan be talking and all I could hear was the speaker, but I've never like your equilibrium gets all fucked up too It was that loud. There are a lot of guys that are hunters that have fucked up ears if i if i have to shoot uh or i decide not have to shoot i haven't had to shoot

1:34:37 just the other day i was shooting with uh my son and i'm so i've got a 308 uh bolt gun and i had him like you know laying and prone and we were No hearing now. Yeah. of your mma career uh i'm i'm not totally like like i'm not committed to anything just yet you I want to diversify. know, like, like that. So I'm trying to figure out what's going to give me

1:38:26 I love sharing fucking food or, you know, any of the stupid booze that I make, you know, the homebrew. and it's as easy as pulling out your phone can go from there and and uh, you know, back in the, if it's natural like because if it's like hey if we have a relationship and we're friends like it's who i am then you don't but like yeah it's uh it's it's it's it's tough. The whole transitioning thing, going back to that.

1:42:54 thing that gets thrown out all the time right i'm not loyal to people i'm loyal to to principles If you're involved in like, imagine if you're involved, Yeah. To be able to go to bed with peace of mind, knowing I'm doing my best, I'm doing the right thing, I'm being ethical, I'm being a good person. because i didn't i don't want to have an anchor in new jersey you know um like i got i got a lot

1:45:22 all the things I like to do in California. Right. But yeah, you deal with all the bullshit, The Florida is first through third. It's an adult telling a child what they can do that feels good. And they saw that corkscrew-looking thing dragging off the ground after he was on top of one of the other ducks. So we've had conversations. And it's like 12 inches long.

1:49:01 It doesn't have a lot of girth. that are teaching children all kinds of things that probably that's not their field of study Yeah. not their job to it's like I think it's their job to educate children in all conversation like like is it a skilled conversation they know what they're if she, If it's the, But then it's also, like, you need to have the other side of that where life begins.

1:53:03 A lot of parents are very sensitive about people teaching their children about these things. And there's a lot of teachers that feel like they're saving the child because they are allowing the child to explore subjects that the parents don't explore at home. Right. Because, listen, we all know that some teachers suck. And how is this conversation being handled?

1:54:58 about things that aren't even your field of study yeah i mean I mean- Yeah, why? Why is it a- It seems super complex. the place for that. friends and you're just supposed to be educating them. That person maybe shouldn't have the influence on how the school curriculum is run. ever be breached with kids it's like who's doing this and how good are you at this and i'm not

1:58:01 Oftentimes they're not good at it yeah it's there's oftentimes they're not good at it and i mean not that listen not He forced like 13 boys to watch him masturbate. That's the weird one. Yeah. It's, but so that's, so New Jersey, you're thinking about. How old are your kids now? It's like everybody grew up with everybody, and I come in, I'm the new kid.

2:00:31 North Carolina is nice, too. not rough it was fun i was i have a 95 land cruiser it's like all built out and so i was like One, you knew this was coming, and it's like, two, you should be used to this by now. Yeah, in a few years or whatever the hell it is. all the time okay well why aren't you supposed to? But I think it was a liability thing. No, I think like Oregon is the only other state I believe that they have.

2:03:09 And it's like, you know, but PA has pretty fucking high, like their gas tax is high. They just want to stay in their car? I wonder if they had self-serve gas back then, Oh yeah, yeah, pop the hood. and he had this bucket of water Also, you see, I saw a guy the other day that was just standing there with a bucket. money yeah just ask for it yeah which is tricky it is tricky um so you'll go somewhere else and

2:05:34 I haven't gotten one yet. I really want my kids to hear that like We know there's talk about that. They're buying up land, and they're reintroducing all sorts of bison, pronghorn, all sorts of it. and reintroduce all the kind of animals that lived here stay where you want them to stay to bring the wolves in they generally agree that there's a number that those wolves will get to.

2:08:39 proposed hunting seasons. And they do that all the time. That's a giant issue. That's the thing they need to understand. You'd have to ask someone like Steve Rinella. population of black bears per capita yeah in the united states yeah in the fucking world as soon as they hear the first bang bang We got a decent amount. when they come to a bear call.

2:11:50 get busted into garages and stuff like that is because they're not the big bear. Like the big So they're more willing to deal with us You really shouldn't see them, like, in your yard. It's a fucking residential suburban neighborhood, They almost killed it last year, People grew up with teddy bears, right? No, I fucking eat bear. It tastes like a deer fucked a pig.

2:14:15 But like I've prepared them. I think we are one 37. hit them on the grill real quick. But also freezing kills the trichinosis. but I'm 99% sure I am because this is something Freezing pork, yeah, but I guess it's similar. Yeah. what i've read you have to do it over a long period of time i think and i don't think it's Yeah, that's what I've heard. I was like, I wouldn't have eaten that.

2:17:44 Well, go ahead. And just to maintain health. It changed my life. hopefully because uh when i heard that they like fought to like keep child porn on Otherwise, we're going to have to edit that out. And let's see what the actual case said. he did the suit claims eventually doe blocked the traffickers and stopped harassing them reports, he followed the complaint with Twitter saying there were two tweets depicting child

2:21:30 Finally, on January Disgusting. I haven't deleted my thing, but I don't want to go on there. Um, the guy like hits an arm bar and his toe got caught in the cage. no he didn't use it like it was just fucking happenstance and you fucking dumb asses are Listen, brother, I'm a fan. Thank you.
