Transcript

0:00 The Joe Rogan Experience. I don't know who's going to be the referee for this. Perfect. The line is not that bad. For Doom Roy Nelson, too. for pound guys. He's right up there with Aldo. left leg and then they use it as force to Episode one? She remembered Nick. if you were Now it's becoming more like all other sports. and his teacher was even saying

3:41 You could be the most articulate, funny, charismatic guy on the fucking planet. life or death his is a very different thing than anybody else's first of all All those punches that he throws at 50%, 60%, all those tighten you up. would not just have great skills but have ridiculous world-class endurance like swim He does it all the time. You know A track coach

5:41 You know what It feels great. I'll just smoke a joint and run until the fucking highway is off. pressing weights, you feel it. You feel You're supposed to eat hash. When you walk out of there, you don't know what hit you. Because think about it. John Jones probably won't even do that. It's not going to happen. It can happen. Vanderlei got dropped a lot.

8:30 made Vanderlei great was how reckless he was you know he didn't give a fuck he would charge at you Vanderlei. He was a completely different looking person. and in the striking and the striking power and now he's like caught up to nick i think he had this condit fight i don't know what the hell's gonna happen i look at it i'm like man both guys A lot of referees would have pulled that trigger.

11:03 But what it proved to me is that Condit is He's a phenom. With a fucking elbow he got him to the head. I want the referee to come in and save your life. He's a fucking killer. i wish i wasn't working i wish i'd fucking get kenny florian to fill in i want to get hammered Are you kidding me, man? It's just a matter of figuring out how to put fist to face.

13:25 you know, I mean, that was a brutal assassination, man, you know, that was a brutal ending to that fight, which Hughes and Hoist Gracie, they should make that happen, Unless there was something wrong with Hoist. None of us would have ever known. If it wasn't for his for him i would have never known none of us would have ever known if it wasn't for his accomplishments in the ultimate final championship none of us would have ever known but that was a long fucking time ago you

15:20 The same thing that makes someone a great fighter makes someone say, no, you're all wrong. Like he always does? He's a hero. really wrong with him My boy. You don't think Hughes would be able to take Dan Hardy down fairly easily? You know, he was dominant, man Fuck yeah. Remember he picked him up like mma moments come from behind you know from being stuck guy kicks you in the balls hits you

17:50 Whether it's your family, whether it's your friends, You get really lethargic. any dudes who've been knocked out a gang of times. Yeah. Hoffman, Bobby Hoffman But Overeem figured it out, man. But no one's ever turned it around like Overeem title in both MMA and K-1 kickboxing. No one's ever done that before. No one ever won the K-1 Like, I was watching 60 Minutes Tuesday night

21:02 by a defensive back. And he You know what I'm saying? That dude who, remember that dude who died? Google that shit, Brian, if you can. Henry were arguing He jumped in the back of her pickup truck to Google that shit Brian if you can Henry something Henry football player dead school. I talked to a dude who had a Chris Henry, yeah. He fell off the back of a pickup truck, right?

22:58 What are you doing? He got up right away and was complaining. remember the name of the hotel we were at well you remember when we saw tim sylvia we were in the He had no idea what happened. shitting kicking you up the side of the head you know there's a lot of guys like criticize guys punching there'll be no nothing there'll be you on your back and me punching you a little bit here

25:32 He took that fight on 11 days' notice, and you could tell when he was in there. He just did it, and he went out there, and he grinded on Maya, So both guys, it was a real endurance issue, you know. He's nasty, man. There's some dudes that are just winners, man. They could have a torn meniscus. He was nasty. He submitted Ed Herman. You remember? He paws with the right and then throws the left.

28:38 Go train with, go to Mike's gym and work out with Melvin Manhoof. particular way of moving, you go, that's a fucking killer. is about 32 i'm not sure how old he is but i i really think that that Him eliminating the pulling guard strategy has really hindered his game Paul Harris, who was the guy he beat? he bypassed the superior wrestling he bypassed the superior striking he had the third option

31:19 Ooh! There's so many guys out there that he's not going to be able to take down. where he could have did something to Weidman. Otherwise, you have to kickbox, and Maya's not a kickboxer. Those leg locks are ridiculous, dude. and look at that as a serious it's pretty easy to take him down. either with leg locks, arm bones, you know, whatever. It's a fucking crazy game, man, that fight game.

33:53 I can, for sure. hard they were hitting you a lot and you just go home and you're fucking i would lie in bed and my because everybody else just kind of taps you out. he's doing yeah what is he doing he's not really striking too much with dudes a little bit he's how much did you love chicago this week did you have a great time my head's still spinning

36:19 But it was very surreal at first. just everything about the show. and the traffic was nuts. Dan, he took us to the core. She's got some great jokes. Yeah, 23. But my night was made with little Esther. It hit their parents finally what their daughter was really doing. Fuck you. And you know what? The biggest show we ever did, too. It's giant. Hey, Brian, I'm going to email you this.

39:29 I mean, this shit was fucking delicious. They put heavy duty gunpowder in the meat in Chicago. So we had like two doors. It was like our door to would go into this area, and then he had a door, and I had a door. So we had like two doors. You got to go to a doctor, son. Drank water. That's fucking murder You know what I'm saying How much did you put back on?

41:19 I fucking, you know, replaced some of my... But you could try to. So, the fucking diet. Well, we always had a fucking salad. Like, they won't put me on the Anivar for my knee because of my blood pressure. Go on a straight vegetable diet. No way. When you're that big, how do you know? And it would just go kink. Trust me, dog. That was November of 2009 or something.

43:49 Ralphie had the other one, the bypass. Didn't you have him on your podcast recently? Yes, he was very good. That's your canary bird? That's why I love these personal trainers that, you know, It's amazing. It's amazing. And every time you fucking fly, your ankles swell up. And He's in Tempe for Super Bowl weekend. Oh, that's so sad. And it adds up after a while.

45:53 The show is going too well. We have smoke all put in the same category, but it's not. You know, these people sit there and say, well, Harvard did a research. I've been smoking weed for fucking 30 years. So what I do, you know, when you breathe. You ever hear me breathing Do you hear you breathing Chronic obstructive Yeah. that means you ain't walking enough, cocksucker.

47:58 It tells you how much sleep you're doing. And so it's not changing your habits at all? How many times you go to a bar and there's 18 guys looking around? Do you do steroids? That's what he's got to do. When did you really start thinking, That's when I fucking realized it. Because people think in this country, everything... These kids are fucking pampered.

50:49 Something's fucking not right. Then it's ten minutes, and it all fucking helps out. See, in my world, when you're a comic, You fainted on the way up from the fucking you don't even feel limit a some it's 2012 these new vampires fucking needle. So they let you put an iPod on? You know what I'm saying? I stopped going to this one dentist I was like...

52:38 Tap when you feel the drill or something. I love it. I want you to tell me you went to your uncle's house I'm happy for you. When you came to me, you said you had the best ice cream sundae in your life the other night with Eddie Bravo. Before then, you ever straightened up. Your chest was up and shit. It's a fucking beautiful thing. Don't say nothing.

54:37 My whole body and my brain, it was like the first time ever in my life when I was like 22. That's for sure. you gotta be relaxed. The other two do. And nobody understood what I was saying until I met you guys at the store. I love that guy. You weren't a scary guy to me. You were nice to me. I didn't know this. You weren't a scary guy to me. Very, very similar characters.

57:27 My fear has fucking done wonders for me. American. That's a great emotion, especially when you're a stand-up comic. killed 10 fucking people with my bare hands because you overcome one of your biggest fucking The first fucking night, Eddie Griffin bumps me. You know how embarrassing that is? You Who? The main room is packed, but the original room would be empty

1:00:05 I'm a regular. He said, something about O.J. Simpson's maid. I just pushed him, Joe Rogan. She liked the fact you pushed him off? Not for a while, right? you go to the bathroom, you come back there talking to them like they know. Thanks. And Vegas, Friday night, Eddie Bravo's I go to LA, though, I'm driving. Vegas. things. With the music and the whole fucking

1:03:13 What? I rock a shock And Rose Gracie, the granddaughter of Helio Gracie, people are fighting for points and stalling this format's becoming more and more popular. there and and now the Gracie Nationals is the most prestigious submission only And once they're up, an advantage they they'll hold and they won't do anything and people aren't used to wrestling with guys that are just

1:06:08 finally, you know, you're going to be able to get a world title in a submission only format, at holding and stalling out I think this is the future but in the qualifying matches they stall each other out. now you got like an empire man it was all an accident it's weird isn't it weird i thought i thought that that the same time as the comedy show and everybody just rotates in it's the greatest fucking thing

1:08:53 Oh, my God. We were in Chicago. Thanks for coming out. I had to pay those security. I had to pay like $2,000 extra, man. I had to pay those security. with Joey and Duncan and sign posters. Little Esther's father took the mother there to see Sinatra in 87. Those grumpy old men, they couldn't get any pussy anymore. not on the fly not okay but look how nutty that is you know why it does that right joe

1:11:39 Tremendous. Chichis. Jaden James used to date. There's the rapper guy and then the singer guy. These English people, they were coming over here for a vacation, I'm going to destroy America and dig up Marilyn Monroe. Yeah, they tweeted it. So now they're looking at her Twitter. They're supposed to be protecting us. He's going here to have a fucking party.

1:13:48 that they also caught for 12 fucking hours. unbelievable it's unbelievable i mean really you can't have one rational person who looks at those What? with them if they wanted to. I think they found someone Joke tweets about coming to America and getting fucked up. And what anonymous represents is the internet. because uh they you know because his information got put live and now some other guy got harassed because uh they

1:16:36 things in a way that they don't like. That I like. I saw a video where the people were trying to justify, like, listen, this is what happened. And the cops were arrested, like, a crazy amount of people, like 120 or 30 people. Oakland's kind of crazy, man. That's been a hub for that shit for the last 40 years. I've always loved the idea. I think the internet is eventually going to be the government.

1:19:09 All of that stuff is stuff. saying what he did is an evil and corrupt thing. And he opened the door for evil and corruption, That's real shit. That is how things are going to be ruled. That can be worked that, unfortunately. Now, right now there is. Yeah. But you know what? That can be worked out too. They're designed so that a third party can come in and change the results.

1:21:33 Everyone's hovering and collecting and gathering together around all these sick areas. just rap you know like really loud you know and with it and like one guys came up to end, like have like a beat playing and just rap, you know, like really loud, And then he just popped the cassette and sold it to him for five bucks. cassette. With two shorts. Tupac's family?

1:23:11 up, so they just change their name. The idea, because I think a lot of people get confused what Anonymous is. This is crazy. Blackwater's so fucked up they changed their name twice. Stopping Anonymous would be like, yeah, they could That's what people are worried about with this SOPA. It was a good website. I think if you have a free account, there's limitations and they serve advertising.

1:25:19 They find out who uploaded it. Because otherwise, you're a distribution angle. think it should be mega uploads fault i don't think mega upload as a corporation should be They feel like shit is free. Like, right in front of you, Yeah, but that's just called ignorance and stupidity. I think you should have some kind of thing like maybe, all right, Dana White actually wants to come on the podcast,

1:27:55 That's cool. don't it's not just like a free thing they're making money off of the stream right you know that's that's a big The more people will come like this Chicago show or anything else. That's how we see it. they would do a subscription-based thing like you're paying 20 bucks a month you get everything You know, you could watch a replay. They'll buy it again, and they'll buy it later.

1:31:05 they would put it up to UFC Unleashed maybe six months in. Yeah. A guy like me. which those are fucking lightning quick. anything that fucking FX does now, I'm fucking happy. What the fuck you got to steal something for? and load them into my computer all the old shit. they go to a where site or they go to a torrent you know the good bit does even so that you got to sell it

1:34:41 but if I were the option for 20 bucks a month Well, that's because in the 80s you would understand years. I'm working on it right now. Everybody benefited on this, but nobody benefited as much as the fans. Well, that's all you need. Who knows? They're two years, three years away. Fight club. They make a ton of fucking money. Who knows how all this comes together?

1:36:59 You know, they could have slid in that Charles Oliveira. I'll hype it up in the beginning and everything like that, desks and shit fox is used to like dudes with paper in front of them let's go over this Yes, but let me tell you something. But hold on. The other guy is like a miniature fucking Joe Rogan with his little haircut The first Fox fight was a fucking nightmare.

1:38:46 At least now, they're giving you three fucking fights. You can't pee. the main fights weren't as exciting as the fights in the undercard. That was tremendous. He caught him with some shots. They come out to Creedence Clearwater and shit like that. You might as well be living in Georgia. You don't think of that You got Milburn I fuck Snooki and Dina.

1:40:43 I mean, Snooki and Dina are the female versions of Beavis and Butthead. Well, whatever it is. But yeah, but the majority of the shit now is like, hey, we're going to put Snooki inside rebooted. In the trailer, All they do every episode is, that you would think with all the cameras, Yeah, it's incredible. They go out and sometimes they don't get pussy. They're going to get fucked. Not only are they going to get fucked, they're going to look like losers. It's incredible.

1:42:39 been banging for a long time. They have money. The one with the wife, Oh, wait a minute. That's Renee. we had this discussion the other day. I read of it was a dump. That's why when you're driving, I mean That was, wasn't that Al Lewis's joint? a little spot where the performer can sit down or your girlfriend can sit down. But if they catch you bringing drugs over, your car gets confiscated.

1:45:35 So one day in 94, me and my buddy go over there. And all of a sudden, what do I see? I see 20 around me. Yeah, what are you looking for? What do you want? I don't want to go into the city. I pull over. I asked for a fucking slice of pizza. That angry Italian Staten that island vibes a bad Who you with? Godfather 2 is the greatest movie of all time.

1:57:10 But pure grappling, Denny has done the most. Nobody can break down the 10-planet system like Denny. like all the 50-50 stuff, all In life, there's always people that are willing to take things to another level, and his school, the San Francisco school, by far did the best.

The best way to get ahead is just be nice to everybody. Look out for everybody else.
