Transcript

0:00 The Joe Rogan Experience. Every time I see you, I'm just happy you're in one piece. And it hasn't been so long. For sure. It was a wild card, man. just because it's like muscle memory, fine sometimes but but in this case i was on an on air Canada flight so you didn't even the number two at Disney's on it. Right. Right. Really crazy, man. I was on my way to beating him, and he got me.

4:26 and he said that literally before the calf kick emerged, Everybody had to do it, and now everyone has to do it, We don't need to see Izzy with his eyes rolled back behind his head flat-out number one you know and you know Big John McCarthy doesn't ref anymore he was always in that same Yeah. Was that him? But Mazzagati was kind of famous for that for whatever reason, whether it's justified or not.

7:34 Yes, he did. You know? better striker because izzy is just so he's so clever and sophisticated and he doesn't have the kind of power that Pajero has but Pajero is very and Izzy had him fucked up, It was one shot. This was you know, like like, is he gonna get him? Is he gonna, oh my god! division champion simultaneously. He's a monster. And Izzy's not.

10:48 And for sure they're going to fight again. certainly gets above that right in between fights and he has a hard time making 185 oh man i wonder like this is a question i've been dying to ask um what do you think about It's basically sanctioned cheating. Right, because Izzy figured that if he put on a bunch of weight to go up a weight class that he might lose his speed.

12:44 That motherfucker hits so hard His style is murderous striker. He's so scary. He's a terrifying dude. the crop and Vahitov is super super technical and it was a split decision and now I think he said he was in some sort of a dispute with Glory like every fight started with that dude on top of you, that'd be terrifying, right? And you could go to I think it's fight.

16:38 But it's weird to me that boxing got so popular in the United States and around the world, and MMA got so We see people dying in boxing, and we don't see people dying in MMA. Well, that's a real theory shared by other people as well. You can't kick and stay on the outside. way back when before I got sober, And you watched me get... and I'd toss them out of the crowd, and I would take the can.

20:14 And that, like what I understand about the CTE phenomenon is that you're absolutely right. You were still beating yourself in the head? Right. for a while. I ended up like, it was kind of nagging at me and I ended up like reaching back out to Tony. you can't unhate yourself in the head. Right. Oh, yeah? And Dr. Drew sent me to this guy. this helmet that left my ears sticking out to protect my head from like head shots a little bit, and my ear's sticking out.

24:08 Then I got together with Ronda Rousey and was on the mats with her, Then I got together with Jorge Masvidal. He put his BMF belt over my ear, and he's just like punching it against a door. I had like the who's who. Oh, Jesus Christ. Oh my god dude Like when Tyson bit Holyfield's ear. For sure. Everybody goes nuts. More so when Patty the Batty kind of just showed up and exploded, like Molly exploded with him.

26:45 He bet $10,000 on Molly McCann. You don't see it that... you ever been stuck there before? By Holly Holm. Oh, really? Oh, that's hilarious. You can't get and got the choke from that position. It's a terrible position because legs are so much Did it make you want to learn how to not be in that situation? That's so humiliating. Such a wonderful person.

29:16 Without a doubt. Right. leg over the head I was begging her He's the heavyweight champion of pride. Like, Frank's on the bottom here. And now he's going to step over. Now watch this right here. That's it right there. Tap. I'm going, please tap, please tap. MMA question I mean, it definitely encourages gambling, which I support. uncut gems amazing unbelievably disturbing so good and such a perfect representation of a gambling

34:05 Just you don't gamble. and maybe a little drugs in moderation? But it's a little bit like, how did the fire start? For sure. Like, all, you know, my dad's dad, like, fought in World War II and was decorated. my paternal, my maternal grandfather. And he became like obnoxiously wealthy, was like, A hundred percent? That was when I bet on And then you did.

38:32 Sure. Yeah. It's the same thing in the mind Yeah. Which is really crazy because they didn't film that documentary coleman who was mr olympia who now has his whole back fused his whole, like every spinal, all the different vertebrae are fused together. He went down and got some stem cells and he's got some improvement now. He's still working out though.

41:48 But he was different than everybody else in that when Ronnie was at the top of his game, Ronnie was lifting enormous amounts of weight. that it's uh oh that's a woman bodybuilder right woman bodybuilder The original one. it's super manly right there's something that happens dude she she fucking went Well, I think they're probably both out of their fucking minds.

45:10 The idea is that as you age and you take TRT, your body repairs itself and functions well shot yourself you just i'm fucking keep shooting up and then you go to multiple doctors like if I know it sucks. And listen, for a long time, they'll just keep prescribing it to you. Walmart agrees to give $3.1 billion to opioid settlement framework. I go, do I need those?

47:43 I was like, what am I doing with this? when my nose got fixed the doctor's like you're gonna have to take painkillers i'm like for this So when you get a bloody nose, your nose gets smashed all the time. Calcium deposits can form And it's been fucked ever since then. Can't I just be uncomfortable? Terrible for you. really terrible story about a woman who had COVID

50:52 Advil's bad for your stomach. them all his fucking pain went away yeah so taking anti-inflammatories for pain was actually the source of his pain. I mean, if you have a headache and you take it, you know, if you're smart about it and you take it every now and again, I'm sure it's okay. I hadn't heard any of that. At the moment, I'm stable with it. Maybe. Maybe.

53:51 What about like Bayer? If it's 500 for Tylenol, let's say it's 50. Maybe it can't even kill you that I think they recant that was the thing they were But it says... Daily aspirin behind more than 3,000 adult deaths per year. Smaller number, I know. In 2021, it says 227 deaths were recorded in England and Wales as a result of paracetamol poisoning. So, Tylenol per year is half of what it is in America,

56:24 Wow. What? They'll lure you in with some fake headlines, Because that was the thing that they were saying. Major bleeds. the annual rate of bleeds requiring hospital admission was approximately 1.5% compared with 3.5% for patients age 75 to 84 and 5% for those age 85 or older. doesn't clot? It's so good sometimes. Yeah. Yeah. That's nuts. Yeah, it's really scary. Yeah, that's nuts. What is that?

1:00:16 Congenital insensitivity to pain and anhydrosis. That sucks. It's like not feeling sadness. And I remember you having a really pretty visceral reaction to that. but i remember like they're like one of these kids because i had a don't do it james you son of a And I'll take this off of you because when I, like, linked up with some of these kids you know alex has been on the podcast a few times.

1:03:49 Sort of, but rock climbing is undoubtedly a learned skill, Well, I saw it coming because I knew he was dead but right the no I didn't I didn't know and apologies to people who? Yeah. Dude. And they're white because they're basically just completely frozen solid. over 300 people mother how many people die climbing everest every year You know, two climbers found a woman alone and dying, yelling, please don't leave me. But were forced to continue and let her die as they had no means to help her.

1:07:27 Fuck. Frozen, pale, white. We're like a quarter of the people who try to summit it die Yes. You grow up with 100 people, four of them are going to die. I have this theory that particularly in Western civilization, like America, like where we live, like actually being old is like a fucking party foul. Or are you going to put him in some sort of a medical facility?

1:11:38 and then you end up you know further down the road thinking like, oh man, why didn't I do this? Why didn't I do that? sitting in a chair every day and you're relatively healthy, The idea that you're going to be safe from danger because you got a covid vaccine You don't. You got him? But he's running, like, a real good time. they said it was like a 92 year old boxer and he's fucking these dudes up

1:15:19 Like a really good marathon runner, three hours is the goal, right? Yeah, super crazy. of a purist when it comes to stand-up and uh when i saw that you were doing stand-up i didn't like Yeah. And that's operating with the mentality of scarcity. That's what it is. So they find flaws in other people that maybe don't even exist. You can, anyone can do comedy.

1:19:35 What a famine it is then because there's only like a thousand of us on earth I mean, COVID got weird. Look, I did a lot of outdoor shows during the pandemic with Chappelle. It's fun. first time I tried stand-up was 2006 so like long but I've only been like really do that is difficult is a vehicle for developing your human potential, whether it's learning how

1:22:32 jujitsu when she was 58 years old and she got her black belt in her 60s that's amazing that's an egotistical way and like that you're a purist To what you're saying about the martial around i saw the skateboard tricks in the movie and i was like dude i gotta every kid thought i Yes. you're effectively fucking vandalizing. He started out as a photographer for a skateboard company.

1:26:04 And that was the 1980s it was his first And he wrote this quote, wrote this incredible book about it. But one of the things he wrote in the book was, You suck at it. interacts with life yeah Yeah, for sure. You're not a comic yet. Dude, it takes a long time. You keep getting better. It came out in 2016. Well, it would have been fine except I told him to drop me.

1:30:13 Dude, my head exploded. Yeah. my stand-up like the craziest thing that things that made me cringe I addressed the best thing too I did not have And the footage came in in post-production. awesome but when uh but by the time i i i put that out then i had like two like really big things that And what's so rad about it is that over the last 12 years like my various worlds have

1:34:07 You know, who will fucking say that? let people know i i graduated from comedy clubs after 11 years in comedy clubs. Made it to theaters. It's absolutely storytelling, but I'm going for maximum laughs? Like, it's all about building jokes into the stories, you know? Sometimes I'll just go out and have the experience. I'll cycle in dudes from Jackass.

1:36:50 The thing was that at that point, we still had like we were in comedy clubs still. from going on a rampage right How do I get those laughs? And I don't know why. and I was in Vegas. It's amazing. more than three million downloads now it's three three million 227 996 amazing and that's only in you're you're this is like a name you're in the neighborhood of stealing because you're working

1:41:25 people to do stand up Like and and then I'm like And it's another thing that people who suck do. Yeah. It's like iron sharpens iron. they can barely walk they're like toddler premises and trying to find like where the beats are and and you gotta figure it out and you know it's hard but it's there that challenge makes you new It's a lot of work. Right.

1:44:42 Yeah. Like, the nursery rhyme thing was, like, a crazy thing where the audience knew the punchline and they would chant it out with him and they were excited to do that. story where people blow a gasket. He's got this – I mean it's not natural in that sense that he hasn't worked at it because he most certainly has. But he has this ability to like a thing goes on in the news

1:46:41 It's such a handicap. Whatever the art form is and you know you you your whole self Oh, yeah. It was just like one of those days where, you know, you just get gigs back then. For me, I think sometimes most effective. I mean, there's a bunch of different ways the whole idea is just ideas, right? and then they kind of tighten it up with the audience.

1:49:36 was one of the best ones that he brought on the road with him hire like two or three guys like Rich Voss I think he did it with Nick DiPaolo and he had these guys maybe it would and but the ones that did then he kept that okay i got something now and then I mean, dude, for the longest time I was terrified of doing stand-up in L.A. but I think you got to figure out a way to work it in.

1:52:45 but you know you're in the big leagues you're doing stand-up at the comedy store you're in there's a lot going on man when you're you're piecing together material but Didn't do stand-up. They just get scared, and they don't want you to do the thing that they do. It's insecurity. or 45 years old, has never done standup ever, and she goes up and kills, that's exciting to me.

1:55:25 a small scene here, I love him to death. And I said, I have a theory that people are making a mistake in assuming that the human brain is a generator of consciousness, that that's where the word consciousness originates. Well, it's an interesting theory. the morning. We have this thing we do in the morning. I always go up to him and I go, good Good morning, sir.

1:58:44 Is he getting it from the universe? i mean yeah i mean it's kind of like it's a very limiting to define it in a way because we on edge and everybody's upset. And then, and then they get this high out of having disputes with people and then making up. Yeah. We're all this very complex individual machine that has all these stored emotions and life experiences and genes and family and loved ones.

2:02:05 Right. which is anti-anxiety medication. I mean, he just recently coming out of the fog of it all, you know, and he was on those things for quite a while. one thing but like for me deviated septum means i've got like the whole that's a perforated septum I it's it. I've tried it, but yeah, I could I could do it man Yeah. getting punched in this thing

2:05:04 you're putting it through the hole so The first time I broke my nose was when we were filming Jackass 3D, right? It was called the Rocky. You know, it was like—we were like, I think, the first movie to really, really take advantage of that. What are you talking about? It's totally sucker punching. And I was just kind of like was stewing about it. You have to re-break it oh yeah you're twisted

2:08:20 So now everybody's like, I'm like just mangled. So I sit down on the stage, and he just fucking wrenches my nose into position. It looks great And Josh Barnett sticks a pencil up his nose Yes, I am. And he just... What do you mean? I don't know. It's funny. more than 10 years ago like Like when did Instagram start? This is 14 years ago. Oh, it's a twit pic. Oh, never mind. There it is. You, it sounds about right. It sounds about right. Was this 14 years ago?

2:12:32 So here's the tweet. And that was a small one. But I highly recommend it to people. It's like, if you can't breathe out of your nose, Because their nose is useless. It's super common. sounded a little stuffy there, but if you See, that's how I had to have that That's a different world. If you could airdrop it to Jamie. So you slept in it up there? And here's the craziest part, is I didn't have a location.

2:16:59 And that happened within 24 fucking hours because Dana said it's cool. over the whole fucking roof. skate over the whole thing while it's moving with leopard tights on How? Fucking duh. Yeah. and this one i don't even know if it has a mode i think you just drive it that way i mean i never Yeah, there's no buttons. It's a button on the steering wheel, which I think sucks.

2:20:06 You could say, you know, lower the temperature. That's peak power. You punch a hole through space-time to move to a place quicker. He's like, yeah. And all of a sudden, you're going 70 miles an hour like that. just blow through a red light, There's a lot of deaths that are related to people being distracted by electronics. It's got to be off the charts.

2:22:55 Not what I thought I would see here. Well, it's social media, distracted driving, all that shit. I think no matter who you are. it uh i feel like i had an experience going through an airport where, like, one person comes up to me and they're like, dude, I fucking, you know, watch everything. Well, some people just try to make you feel bad. The fuck are you doing?

2:25:24 You're literally working a minimum wage job and you're getting shitty with me because I used to be on Fear Factor. What the fuck are you doing? I just thought, fuck, everybody and their mom has a fucking podcast, you know? It's so much better than you wanting to do their podcast And I could totally wrap my head around that. You should be a passenger.

2:27:57 Tim Pool has a dope setup, You don't have enough time to do what you do. Do you have any that aren't leather? They use chew toys, leather. You know, the meat is valuable. There's no way they're going to just shoot a cow is very valuable like is as a commodity you know the meat is valuable there's no way they're gonna just shoot a cow for their leather i don't think i think that they do though

2:30:00 I don't know about that. I said, is it possible to feed people like the question is like, Make people move out of the cities? videos i mean that's how i became a hunter watching pita videos i was like i'm either Like they don't like it. They're going to get ripped apart by a bear. You know, it's like there's trade offs, right? Regenerative farming means.

2:33:54 I've had him on the podcast a couple times as well. carbon negative. And look at the difference. they don't take into account how those vegetables are grown. Monocrop agriculture And also glyphosate. You know, like, you got all this yeasty, you know, like, you know, and I was like, oh. Yeah. and all the fucking horrible like paul saladino sent me all these studies that are showing that uh high levels of seed

2:38:44 Like, oh, maybe we can get oil out of them process it but it's like highly Right. Right. So our wheat has more complex glutens in it and it's highly processed to to develop more yield per acre. It's true. Yeah, I mean, that's what we're talking about. Like there was a study recently that showed there was something, it was like 80%. 80% of the people they tested, they found glyphosate in their blood.

2:41:15 people have It seems like that's gonna get out. healthy fruits, healthy vegetables, And there's trade-offs and consequences when you do that. Nice piece of bread with some butter Oh, it was amazing. I went for a while there, and I was avoiding flour and sugar. and he didn't find out about it until he was like 30. and our cafeteria is just regular food.

2:44:09 I can say he doesn't care. Maybe he's just greedy. What are you selling? Let me tell you something about those flushable butt wipes. They all get stuck. They're not. Paper towels break down in your hand when you get them wet. The point is they're not going to break down. Go back to that video. All right, maybe they're making it different. down the toilet.
