Joe Rogan Podcast, check it out!
The Joe Rogan Experience.
Train by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day.
joe rogan
Okay.
matt serra
I'm ready when you want.
joe rogan
Matt's already on the roll.
din thomas
Yeah, he's on the roll, man.
We gotta get it going.
joe rogan
I feel like we missed it already.
Yeah, we missed the joy that it's Matt Serra.
We need a name for this order of unruly gentlemen.
We need a name for us.
din thomas
Matt?
matt serra
I want to think about it.
joe rogan
This is Matt's first zen, by the way.
And it's a six milligram.
That's a heavy dose.
matt serra
But I'm not a...
I'm a caffeine guy.
I love caffeine.
joe rogan
That's a lot like caffeine, but even more.
matt serra
Really?
joe rogan
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
matt serra
I've seen it at 7-Eleven.
I know Tucker Carlson takes it.
joe rogan
He loves them.
He got so excited that I had one, he's like, well, you have them too.
matt serra
It's not a dip, though.
joe rogan
No, it's just a little pouch.
It's not actual tobacco.
It's just the nicotine chemical.
Nicotine is a chemical is neuroprotective.
There's been studies that have done that show some sort of a connection with helping ward off Alzheimer's, I believe.
Find out if that's true.
I might have made that up.
matt serra
Nicotine?
joe rogan
I might have made that up.
matt serra
You said it's good for you.
joe rogan
Cat Williams weed is strong.
din thomas
Yes.
joe rogan
Nicotine as a chemical is not bad for you.
What's bad for you is the delivery system of cigarettes.
Oh.
Particularly cigarettes if you buy, like, cigarettes with chemicals in them.
So there's like, there's those, what are those, American spirits?
john rallo
Yeah, whatever they're called.
joe rogan
American something.
jamie vernon
That's like a marketing, I don't think that's true.
joe rogan
They have shit in them too?
Of course, they're cigarettes.
Interesting.
john rallo
I thought they were just supposed to be a paper and a tobacco.
joe rogan
Yeah, I don't think it is.
Oh, those liars.
Okay, nicotine for Alzheimer's disease.
There's no evidence from randomized controlled trials to support the use of nicotine as a treatment for Alzheimer's disease.
So what was the thing that, wasn't there something about a connection between the way nicotine works?
And some sort of...
there's something I read.
matt serra
My thing is, if I start with the nicotine...
joe rogan
Go back to that please, Jamie.
It says, while nicotine itself doesn't cause dementia, the act of smoking cigarettes may be linked to an increased risk of developing dementia as you age.
The harmful substances in cigarette smokes can lead to inflammation factors linked to the onset of Alzheimer's disease.
I know that nicotine is a medication they use sometimes for heart patients.
So find out what that is.
What the fuck that is.
The whole thing is the cigarettes- The whole thing is the cigarettes- Did you ever see that movie with Russell Crowe, The Insider?
john rallo
Yes.
matt serra
I know.
joe rogan
It's about the dude who works for the cigarette companies.
He's a chemist, and he's talking about all the shit they throw in the cigarettes to make them super hyper-addictive.
matt serra
Oh, it sounds action-packed.
din thomas
So it's actually not the nicotine that makes it addictive?
joe rogan
Well, nicotine's addictive as well.
din thomas
Right.
joe rogan
Nicotine is addictive as well.
matt serra
That's my question.
joe rogan
And then they just super juice it up, according to this movie.
matt serra
Before you get me addicted to these things- If I put this in my mouth...
joe rogan
What are you going to be, scratching my fucking Tyrone?
matt serra
If I start it and I'm going to...
If I'm an everyday...
What is this called again?
joe rogan
Zin.
matt serra
If I'm an everyday Zin guy, if I stop it, am I going to be like...
joe rogan
No, I stopped it the other day for two days.
I said, I want to see what it's like.
matt serra
And?
joe rogan
Nothing.
matt serra
Did you wait three days?
What about four days?
joe rogan
I didn't have an itch, no.
john rallo
I would think you would have got it earlier instead of later.
joe rogan
I like them.
matt serra
Are you an everyday zinner?
joe rogan
Yeah, not every day.
I take days off.
But the thing is, I don't know if that's my biology.
I can just do things and stop doing them.
I can't.
matt serra
There's a reason why I never tried fucking cocaine or anything.
joe rogan
I haven't either.
matt serra
I had these two pizzeria bosses, and one of them just last week had to get a new spine, and now he's on a ventilator.
I don't want to get emotional now, but anyway.
I think he might be dead by now, but it's very depressing.
But anyway.
I was 17 years old, and I used to deliver pizzas for these guys, Nicky and Louie, and they were funny.
They remind me a little bit of a Joey Diaz.
They were just smoking cigarettes.
They were very funny.
But they told me, they go, if you try it once.
They used to have a cocaine problem, but they cleaned up.
unidentified
And he goes, Matt, you try it once, and you're fucked.
matt serra
And wait, dude.
unidentified
Sold!
matt serra
And I got scared.
I got fucking scared.
I'm scared.
And I knew that.
And I've been in situations, obviously, I mean, we all have, like, where it's like, talk about pure pressure, man.
I was like, fuck it.
And it's like, you know, you got to be that guy.
It'll be like, uh...
joe rogan
I got real lucky when I was growing up that I had friends that liked it, that were good friends that told me to never do it.
And then I also had a friend whose cousin sold it.
And when he sold it, he went from being this like regular dude to being like a vampire.
And he just stayed in the attic.
He had an attic apartment with his girlfriend and they just did coke and watched movies and sold coke.
And he lost a ton of weight.
He started getting real, like, gaunt and skinny looking.
And I was like, yo, it's like they got bit by a vampire.
It's like they got bit by a vampire.
It's like you're not the same person again.
Now your whole mission in his life is getting coke.
din thomas
That's your whole mission.
joe rogan
Everything else is out the window.
All that success and love and family and friendship and dinners with friends.
Fuck all that.
You gotta get coke.
din thomas
Nah, that's not the way it is.
matt serra
You just throw this thing in your mouth like that?
joe rogan
I just stick it between my cheek and my gum.
john rallo
That's it.
matt serra
I'm in!
joe rogan
But you know what else I found that I really like?
I should kind of not be talking about this because these motherfuckers took the name that we use for our nootropic, which is Alpha Brain.
But these are like a nootropic pouch.
So this doesn't have any nicotine in it.
It's a bunch of nootropics, which I really like nootropics.
Maybe they didn't steal our name, but it's kind of funny.
Alpha Brain is the same.
Alpha Brain is one of the first ones.
The first one that I ever found out was Neuro 1. Remember that guy, Romanowski?
Yeah, Romanowski, who was a football player, obviously got a lot of head impacts, and he was having problems with his memory, so he devised a supplement.
It's really good.
That was the first one I ever found out about.
matt serra
And, I'm sorry, what did you say is in that again?
joe rogan
This one?
It's got a bunch of different nootropics.
matt serra
No, the word you just said.
unidentified
Nootropics.
matt serra
No, not for the people at home.
Not me.
joe rogan
What exactly is that nootropic?
It's the building block for human neurochemistry.
So it's things like acetylcholine.
There's a bunch of different ones.
If you can, like, show the ingredients for alpha brain, if you could.
There's lutein.
There's a bunch of different things that have been shown to increase cognitive performance.
So we actually did randomized controlled trials at the Boston Center for Memory for Alpha Brain.
We sponsored two of them.
And it showed an increase in verbal memory, your ability to retain words, which I really find.
Like, I take it every time I do a UFC, I take Alpha Brain.
Always.
Helps my memory.
I'm talking about fights from...
din thomas
I've watched 2,000 fights.
Yeah, you've been bringing up zingers that everybody forgot about.
unidentified
I've got some Pete Spratt information for you.
joe rogan
But it does help.
Okay, so...
Alpha-GPC, Harpersea, Vitamin B6. Theanine is a really good one, too.
Theanine is also in another thing I really like, which is NeuroGum.
john rallo
Yeah, I actually use that.
joe rogan
Yep, I have these right here, NeuroMints.
I like these.
Not a sponsor, just good, good product.
Vitamin B6, obviously good for you.
So all these things, what it's shown is, if you take these things, it's just like, we know that there's certain nutrients that your body needs.
We know we need Vitamin D. And if you're not getting it from the sun, you can supplement it.
There's a bunch of different things you can supplement, but you can supplement the things that your brain needs to work at the best level.
john rallo
Speaking of men, you saw the amount of supplements I take, you would go crazy.
din thomas
Oh, I would not.
unidentified
What the fuck are you talking about?
joe rogan
If there was one dude in this room that I would come to, who's got the supplements?
John Rolo knows about some supplements.
din thomas
What is that?
matt serra
Some Jocko Mulk or some shit?
What do you want?
joe rogan
What kind of protein do you do?
john rallo
I do have some Jocko's Mulk at the house.
Oh, bro.
joe rogan
I buy that shit by the case.
I have the new one.
john rallo
Sweet Cream?
joe rogan
Yeah, Marbell's so great.
The steak shake?
john rallo
I love that shit.
That's what I've been hitting lately.
joe rogan
But what I like about the Jocos is they're already made.
I'm lazy.
john rallo
I gotta run out the door.
I grab two of those bitches.
joe rogan
I got two of those bitches.
I got 60 grams of protein.
Bam!
din thomas
So you don't get the pre-made ones.
john rallo
You gotta make them?
No, I get the powder.
And the main reason, too, is because I like to put it in my oatmeal, too.
So I'll mix it up like that.
joe rogan
Well, I'm not a goat, so I don't be eating oatmeal.
Like a fucking goat.
I'm eating bacon and eggs.
What are you eating?
matt serra
I'm fucking back on.
I'm back to being gluten free now.
joe rogan
Isn't it funny that when people choke, people used to eat oatmeal if they were starving.
Those are people that were like poor people that were just starving to death working in the fields.
And now we're like, ooh, a granola.
Eat some bacon, you fucking idiot.
Get some eggs.
Just eat a dozen eggs and some bacon.
john rallo
You feel like you're alive.
I hope you don't think I miss many meals.
joe rogan
Nah, you ain't missing any meals.
matt serra
You mind if I grab some coffee?
Get in there, it's for you.
I've seen a, since the last time we spoke, remember the last time we were talking about my ass not to get anything fucked up?
I don't want to leave everybody on a cliffhanger.
The last we spoke, I was supposed to take a shit in a box to go to the lab.
And I had a...
It was...
I don't know what it was.
I just never did it.
And then I finally was like, you know what?
Fuck it.
I'm doing it.
And then I changed insurance so I had to get a different doctor.
So I had to...
Anyway.
I seen a holistic doctor, right?
So I ended up doing it.
joe rogan
Like a witch doctor?
matt serra
Dude, now listen.
I was a little nervous too.
What is a holistic doctor?
Should I be...
joe rogan
Is that a real thing?
Is that a real thing?
matt serra
Well, listen.
I'm going to find out.
Thank you, brother.
It's Mike G. It's...
From Huntington, right?
Somebody recommended him.
I know what you're thinking.
I was thinking the same thing.
It's going to be...
Do you have any sweetness?
joe rogan
We don't.
matt serra
Nah, I'm a...
Look at me.
Prima Donna.
joe rogan
Do we have any out there?
matt serra
No, I don't want to be that guy.
Jamie, sit down, please.
joe rogan
We got a guy.
What do you want?
Like Splenda?
matt serra
Yeah, Splenda, Stevia.
He's like, I don't want to be that guy.
unidentified
Splenda, Stevia, Stevia.
matt serra
You have any of that mint cream?
john rallo
Jamie, sit down.
There's Stevia.
unidentified
Yeah.
matt serra
Listen, first of all, it's hard to get an appointment with a lot of these fucking doctors, you know?
john rallo
Especially the holistic ones.
matt serra
They're all doing voodoo.
joe rogan
A lot of ceremonies.
matt serra
My wife started by trying to book these doctors and couldn't get it.
So then somebody recommended this guy.
So I was expecting a fucking half a hippie sipping wheatgrass.
I didn't know what to expect.
It was a guy who looked like John Rollo, 59. Strong guy.
Nice guy.
He was telling me that a lot of these, they just want to put you on meds.
They don't look at what caused the problem.
They just want to treat the problem.
They want to treat the problem.
He's like, I want to turn back time with you and shit like that.
I don't know.
Nice guy.
joe rogan
Like a Cher song.
matt serra
Like a Cher song.
I thought you said it.
I thought you said it.
unidentified
Turn back down.
matt serra
She was pretty, but she had no ass.
joe rogan
She didn't have to have an ass back then.
She snuck in under the wire.
din thomas
She's still kind of hot.
I'd smash.
joe rogan
Back in the day she was gorgeous.
She looks pretty good today.
din thomas
That's what I'm saying.
joe rogan
Right now.
The Sonny animal.
matt serra
The Sonny and Cher days.
The Sonny and Cher days.
joe rogan
She was hot.
That's wild that he went on.
What did he become?
A senator?
john rallo
I think he was the mayor of whatever city he lived in.
joe rogan
Clint Eastwood became the mayor of Carmel, California.
john rallo
I do remember that.
joe rogan
But I think Sonny Bono was like a senator or something.
Wasn't he, Jimmy?
Was he a congressman?
I knew he got in politics, for sure.
But, like, heavy duty into politics.
And then he died skiing.
din thomas
Boom!
He ran into a tree.
john rallo
Man, that's a motherfucker.
I know how Kennedy died, too, though.
joe rogan
Yeah, one of the Kennedys died the same way, and in, like, real close proximity to each other.
matt serra
I used to love skiing, man.
joe rogan
16th mayor of Palm Springs, California, from 88 to 92. He was a representative.
And served as the U.S. Representative for California's 44th District from 1995 to his death in 1998. He was both.
john rallo
He was the mayor, too.
matt serra
Let me ask you.
john rallo
That's pretty crazy.
joe rogan
And he's a Republican.
I got you, babe.
The hippie movement?
john rallo
Right.
joe rogan
With the fucking bell bottoms and shit?
matt serra
My thing is this.
From Ronald Reagan to Sonny Bono.
Do people like the policies or are they just liking the fucking guy?
I was just watching Idiocracy the other day.
john rallo
Oh my lord, it's so good.
matt serra
That is the thing.
Oh wait, hold on.
john rallo
That's fucking great.
joe rogan
So good.
It holds up so well.
matt serra
You like the white Terry Crews.
He's seeing the council.
He's like, yeah, my first wife was tauted.
She's a pilot now.
No, that movie is fucking great.
joe rogan
It's a great movie, man.
matt serra
It's not exactly politically correct, but it's fucking good.
joe rogan
It's not at all, but it holds up.
You almost couldn't make it today.
john rallo
You can't make any of these.
Tropic Thunder.
joe rogan
Tropic Thunder would be impossible today.
unidentified
No, you couldn't make that.
din thomas
I gotta watch that again.
joe rogan
Impossible today.
matt serra
I haven't watched that in ages.
joe rogan
Bro.
john rallo
Great movie.
joe rogan
That's a great movie, man.
john rallo
Great movie.
joe rogan
That's a great move.
john rallo
Robert Downey Jr., not only was he in blackface, but he was in yellowface.
Remember, he came out talking to them about catching Jack Black in the rice paddies and shit.
unidentified
He was hilarious.
matt serra
Easy there, Shane Gillis.
unidentified
I think they're going to be marching on ground control.
joe rogan
Listen, man.
Asian people take it better than anybody.
You know who I know?
Emojis.
Emojis are all yellow and there's no complaints.
Not a single complaint.
din thomas
Not a single complaint.
Yup, you're right.
matt serra
Not a single complaint.
joe rogan
Asian people just keep working.
din thomas
That's true.
They never have a problem.
joe rogan
That's what they say.
There was legit Asian hate, though, after COVID came out.
There was a lot of really dumb people that were just running up to Asian people, hitting them.
matt serra
Yeah, no, I see that a lot.
joe rogan
Hitting them, screaming at them.
matt serra
Especially when you look a lot on the subways.
joe rogan
Crazy.
That's crazy.
matt serra
That's where they need people to step up.
joe rogan
But that's real.
din thomas
Yeah, that was like violence, right?
That wasn't just, you know, talking.
joe rogan
Yeah, it wasn't just like yellow face.
You can get away with yellow face.
din thomas
Nobody fucking does shit.
joe rogan
You can dress up like a bumblebee.
Nobody will freak out.
When they got that kid, there was a kid who turned out to actually be Native American who had half of his face.
john rallo
Oh, the Chiefs game.
So brilliant.
joe rogan
He had literally put on war paint, I think, of the tribe that he's from.
matt serra
Yeah.
joe rogan
Right?
john rallo
Yeah, I'm pretty sure.
joe rogan
I think it's from the tribe that he's from.
One of those websites tried to label it as a fan, a racist fan in blackness.
So they only showed this side of his face, where it was dark, and the other side of his face was white, which was like this war paint.
din thomas
Oh no.
john rallo
And the kid turned out to be Indian.
din thomas
Oh no.
john rallo
So they got the double.
They were wrong twice.
joe rogan
People are just so quick to jump the gun.
matt serra
I'm sick of this woke shit.
Let me tell you.
Let me tell you loud and clear.
I am sick of what they did to fucking Star Wars.
john rallo
They took a shit all over it.
I'm a huge Marvel fan.
matt serra
I love everybody.
I love everybody.
I have three daughters.
I love strong female characters.
Vasquez from fucking Aliens.
Oh, she was badass.
joe rogan
Sigourney Weaver.
matt serra
Linda Hamilton.
joe rogan
I'll go on.
Terminator.
matt serra
How about this?
There's nothing wrong with making everybody badass.
Now, I'm facing the wrong guys.
Did you guys see Ahsoka?
din thomas
I did.
joe rogan
What's Ahsoka?
matt serra
It's a Disney Plus show.
It's about a Jedi.
There she is!
din thomas
Yeah, with Rosario Dawson.
john rallo
Yeah, she's hot.
matt serra
Not to get too geeky on you, but listen.
john rallo
It's too late for that.
joe rogan
That ship has sailed.
matt serra
I gotta listen.
I gotta go.
This is the deal.
With Ahsoka...
It's based basically off of another show, which was an animated show.
Not to get too nerdy on you.
First of all, before you pick on me, George St. Pierre watches these same fucking shows.
I talk to George about this, and we geek the fuck.
I go, George, how do we have a fight?
He knows more than me about all this shit.
He reads the books.
But anyway, this show is a cool show.
This show Rebels, right?
And it's about this young Jedi...
Ezra, right?
So now they're doing a live...
Guys, stay with me for two seconds.
So now the live action comes out, right?
And Ezra, at the end of the series, Ezra fights this guy Thrawn and he goes through another dimension and he leaves a fucking hero.
And now the next appearance is him live action in this series years later, right?
They make him the biggest cuck in the universe, right?
This guy was a fucking Jedi.
Badass in the cartoon.
I'll give you a couple instances, right?
They find him.
They're on the planet.
His friend finds him.
I forgot her name, but she gives him a fucking...
She's like a Mandalorian.
She gives him his lightsaber.
Do your thing.
Now, look.
They can't make him look too cool because he's a dude.
They go, hey.
He goes, listen, I don't need the lightsaber.
The Force is my weapon.
So already, boo, right there.
Big boo.
Really?
He's surrounded right now, so he's like doing some fucking hippie shit.
It's whatever.
Next!
This gets me now.
You'll relate, Dean.
You'll relate to this.
din thomas
I'm with you.
matt serra
Listen, now, they have two of these.
He's been on this planet.
They find them on.
They have two of these horses, these alien horses.
It's Ahsoka, the Mandalorian chick, and Ezra.
So there's three of them riding.
On a motorcycle, when there's two guys riding, now the guy in the back, it's called riding bitch.
Who's riding bitch?
Ezra!
Now is that just because, you know, it just happens to be?
No.
It's like that on purpose.
din thomas
I get it.
joe rogan
You can have both.
You can have a strong woman character and a strong man character.
Yes!
Conan, the barbarian, could be riding on the back of a horse with a chick at the reins and no one would question shit.
din thomas
Right.
matt serra
Well, unless that's...
Wait, hold on.
joe rogan
Conan would never get on the back of a horse.
Fuck that.
unidentified
Unless it's Red Sonja.
joe rogan
He thinks she's so badass, he lets her...
Yeah, Red Sonja.
john rallo
There you go.
joe rogan
He's gotta be humping the chick.
He was banging?
john rallo
He's gotta be humping the chick to get on the back.
joe rogan
Yeah, she was like the warrior lady.
matt serra
Hold on.
I disagree.
I don't think he's riding a bitch.
joe rogan
Me either.
I don't think he would either.
As I was saying it, I was like, I can't defend this.
john rallo
I went too deep too fast.
matt serra
I went too fast!
din thomas
Yeah, you didn't take that out all the way!
joe rogan
This is fucking good!
Okay, maybe John Wick on the back of a motorcycle killing people while his girl drives.
din thomas
Possibly.
matt serra
You know what, man?
joe rogan
You wouldn't say John Wick's a pussy.
john rallo
Well, you know.
matt serra
You know what?
joe rogan
He's a very polite guy.
He's undeniable.
He cannot be a cuck.
Definitely not.
matt serra
There's a big fucking...
din thomas
But this guy was...
But the guy that he's talking about surely was.
I mean, I didn't even think he was a badass in the show.
matt serra
But he was a badass in the cartoon.
din thomas
Yeah.
matt serra
So it's like...
joe rogan
Wait a minute, but it's all, who wrote it though?
Here's the thing, it's not really Star Wars.
It's just this new thing that they use in Star Wars, the Star Wars universe.
Star Wars is Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader and that's it.
It's Obi-Wan Kenobi, it's C-3PO, everything else you're just stealing my money.
unidentified
That's pretty much what I think.
matt serra
Listen, right now, Han Solo would be toxic.
Han Solo was the fucking PIMP. How about when Han Solo's about to go with the fucking carbonite?
As a kid watching this, as a kid, it's emotional.
He's getting lowered into the fucking carbonite.
You don't know if he's gonna survive this thing.
Chewie's sitting there upset, fucking Lando's being a bit of a, you know, we're unsure about Lando.
And Leia!
din thomas
Wait a minute.
matt serra
I love Leia, though.
He's a badass.
But Leia goes to him, I love you.
What the fuck does he say back?
din thomas
Watch this.
matt serra
What does he say back?
Could you play it or no?
Watch this.
joe rogan
He says, I know.
Right?
matt serra
Spoilers, Rogan.
unidentified
Watch this.
din thomas
Watch this.
matt serra
Look at that, first of all.
unidentified
Yeah.
matt serra
Watch this.
unidentified
I love you.
I know.
joe rogan
Yes!
john rallo
Gangster!
matt serra
That's my fucking Star Wars!
He doesn't know if he's gonna live!
He doesn't, and he does love her, he does.
He's the fucking man.
din thomas
I love him so well.
Hey, Ezra, Ezra, take notes!
joe rogan
Matt Serra, former UFC welterweight champion, is also a nerd.
unidentified
A real, full-on, 100%, full-on nerd.
matt serra
First of all, can I thank you now?
Because listen, this show doesn't come without perks.
Listen.
I was only geeking about VR last time.
So all of a sudden, I love that Pop one.
I still do.
I was just playing it before I got here.
Another guy contacted me from Caveman Studios.
This guy, Lon.
He goes, look, I love how enthusiastic you are.
Try this game in beta testing.
So it's not even out yet.
It's coming out at the end of the month.
Contractors Showdown.
Fucking money!
I don't play anything but Pop 1. Am I getting off the subject?
We should talk about MMA. We haven't even got to MMA. Listen, holy shit.
It's like Warzone.
It's like Call of Duty Warzone.
I love the Battle Royale format where it's like a squad and then everybody gets brought in together and you gotta take each other out.
That's cool.
That's Pop 1. Technically it's Fortnite, not to sound like a nerd.
This shit!
Contractor Showdown!
Fucking nerdgasm.
I love it.
It's so much fun.
joe rogan
You're parachuting in?
matt serra
No, listen.
This is the deal.
You parachute out.
Now, when you go, you loot up, right?
You get money.
You get shit.
din thomas
You wrap your hands?
What the fuck?
matt serra
Well, he must have had some damage.
He had to heal up a little bit.
joe rogan
So you're fixing to go to war.
You got money.
matt serra
Yeah, you get your boys, and then you're like, look.
I don't know about that nerd, but look.
Look, now that you see the perimeter, dude, everybody gets brought in, you get scopes, you put it on, you get money, you can buy stuff, put it on, and you're taking these guys out, you're sniping them.
joe rogan
And this is all in virtual reality.
matt serra
It's in virtual reality.
It's fucking cool, dude.
That guy likes it, though!
john rallo
You should get a new job reviewing VR games.
joe rogan
That's not a bad idea, actually.
matt serra
It's so much fun.
joe rogan
Imagine if you had a YouTube channel?
john rallo
People would love watching him review a game.
joe rogan
That's actually a great idea.
din thomas
He wouldn't do it, though.
john rallo
Just video him playing the game.
joe rogan
Just get someone to film him.
He probably won't do it, but get someone to do it.
matt serra
That's a fun game.
joe rogan
You should get the UFC to do that.
Do you still do the thing with Jimmy?
matt serra
Yeah, man!
Me and Jimmy, twice a week.
joe rogan
UFC unfiltered Why don't you get the UFC to just film you doing that too as well - I don't know.
matt serra
Dana, are you listening, motherfucker?
joe rogan
Dude, it's a no-miss.
You'd be fucking awesome at that.
unidentified
You really love these things, your character.
din thomas
I mean, look how enthusiastic he is about it anyway.
joe rogan
Yeah, you should 100% be reviewing games.
matt serra
It's so funny, because that could be very sad normally when a 50-year-old's fucking...
I'm going to be 50 this year.
Last time I was on here, they did a thing called My Dad is a Gamer, and they had me on there fucking being sick.
My daughter's watched!
I love that shit.
It's fun.
It's harmless.
john rallo
Since I've known you, you've been on it.
joe rogan
It's harmless if you can control it.
But they're so fun, you'll wind up wasting your whole life playing video games.
matt serra
My thing is, everything's about balance, like passing the guard, you know?
I feel like I deserve it at the end of the day.
If I go, I do a 7 a.m.
class.
I fucking do my podcast.
I go back.
I'm rolling with my wife.
I had a full day.
You know what?
I deserve two hours.
No, an hour.
A couple games.
din thomas
Three hours.
joe rogan
Yeah, no, you definitely do.
But you're a disciplined man.
matt serra
Well, it's fun.
joe rogan
But you're a disciplined man.
din thomas
Most people don't have that type of discipline.
joe rogan
Yeah, but you're an accomplished martial artist.
You run a business.
You have a family.
So much fun.
You're a disciplined man.
If you're just a fucking dorky kid who just has a job and that's all you fucking do.
matt serra
It's the same thing with the reefer.
If you're a guy doing stuff every day and you're smoking, it could help you.
But if you're in that commercial when they're blowing the shit out the window, Hey Ma, the guy's gonna call me back.
I left a message for the job.
That's a problem.
Like, you know what I mean?
If you're 30 years old, you're living at home, you're fucking...
But, you know, everything is how you use it.
Back to...
What is that?
unidentified
There's a Star Wars mod for contractors.
joe rogan
And women always win.
You gotta be a woman character.
matt serra
- What is Contractors?
unidentified
- I know.
matt serra
- What is it now?
- He said you gotta be a woman character. - 'Cause the women always win. - Contractors is a game that's all been out forever.
I'm not really into it, but the Contractors Showdown is coming out at the end of the month, and that's the Battle Royale version.
Nerd.
My wife hears me talking about this online, and she's like, you fucking have no idea.
You know, she loves me, but it could be a turn-off, I'm sure.
joe rogan
Yeah, I don't think it turns them on.
matt serra
It's not a panty dropper.
joe rogan
It's not the ultimate panty dropper.
unidentified
You know what fuck it is?
matt serra
Hold on.
joe rogan
Oh, here it is.
Look at the abs, son.
matt serra
I'm back to gluten-free.
I think the Zen thing is making me crazy.
joe rogan
It's making you crazy.
It's hyping you up.
matt serra
That's great.
joe rogan
It's good.
I'm going to give you another one in five minutes.
matt serra
No, don't do that.
The problem is this.
I start the day.
Me and him went out to eat last night.
We went to the Brazilian joint.
And I didn't eat since, because I've got to clear out, because I've got issues.
So I woke up, and I had the water, and I had a double shot of espresso.
And I was a little down last night, because I had too much, whatever, edible.
So I was a little like, I hope I'm not like this tomorrow.
So I had a five hour energy.
And now I had that and the coffee, so this is what you get.
joe rogan
And it's on.
matt serra
I'm having fun.
You were talking about coming up with a name for us.
joe rogan
Yeah, we need a name.
We need a name.
din thomas
A cool Star Wars name.
john rallo
Nerdgasm.
unidentified
How about we just call it Cucks?
joe rogan
Just so no one can say shit about us.
matt serra
That's not bad.
joe rogan
That's not bad.
Cucks.
That's actually kind of funny.
matt serra
I was going to say like the OGs, but that's too serious.
joe rogan
That's too serious.
Cucks might actually work.
din thomas
I like cucks.
unidentified
Cucks?
matt serra
It's not bad.
joe rogan
It's not bad.
matt serra
It is ridiculous.
joe rogan
Yeah.
matt serra
You know?
You want to be cucks?
joe rogan
I kind of like it.
matt serra
I don't want to be a cuck.
joe rogan
I think I'm kind of enjoying that.
Let's placeholder it.
Put it aside.
Put a bookmark on it.
Come back to it later in the day.
See how we feel in an hour.
matt serra
Should we take a poll?
joe rogan
No, you don't want to let the people be involved.
They're going to hijack that shit.
We're going to be cucks for sure.
unidentified
That will not be a fair vote.
joe rogan
They would try to get us.
matt serra
Johnny, you had one first.
You were like the four horsemen?
john rallo
Oh, Jesus.
That was a long time ago.
matt serra
I have a weird memory.
I remember weird shit.
john rallo
Yeah, that was...
matt serra
Because I remember I'm the furthest thing from a horseman.
I'm not exactly a fucking...
john rallo
You need help getting a horse.
matt serra
You know what the problem is?
You'll be on a stallion and me and Joe will be on like ponies and shit.
john rallo
You'll be on a mini horse.
joe rogan
I want to be on a sturdy mule.
matt serra
I was watching a mule biting a fucking hyena.
unidentified
They use them to bite wolves and coyotes and shit.
joe rogan
Mules are mean, man.
They're fucking mean.
They're smart.
john rallo
Mules.
Mules.
They'll use them to protect the herd and shit.
joe rogan
What?
Mules are so much smarter than horses.
People like them when they travel through the mountains because a mule won't go anywhere where it's not safe.
A mule will go, uh-uh, bitch.
din thomas
I know better.
joe rogan
I'm not going over there.
That edge is too steep.
We're falling.
That makes sense.
A horse is just like...
Horses just go right off the edge, man.
They just listen.
matt serra
You gotta not stand behind those motherfuckers, though.
unidentified
Horses?
matt serra
Whip!
Either one of them.
din thomas
A mule?
joe rogan
Either one.
Horse kick you?
Oh my god.
I watched a horse kill another horse.
din thomas
No.
joe rogan
Yeah, in a video.
Online.
din thomas
That's what I'm talking about!
joe rogan
That's crazy.
matt serra
I'll spit up my coffee.
joe rogan
That's a donkey.
matt serra
What'd I say?
john rallo
They don't fuck around.
matt serra
A mule.
joe rogan
A mule is a cross.
din thomas
What's the difference?
joe rogan
A mule is a cross between a horse and a donkey.
matt serra
Look at this.
b-real
And they're not viable.
matt serra
Yeah, but wouldn't you think that the hyena would fuck this thing up?
unidentified
Really?
joe rogan
Yeah.
Yeah, you would think so, but it looks like that hyena is fucking tranquilized.
unidentified
Something.
joe rogan
Because they're videotaping this.
unidentified
It almost looks like they're playing.
joe rogan
Yeah, maybe it does look like they're playing.
That doesn't seem very playful.
That seems pretty violent on the donkey's part.
unidentified
It's like Hawaii playing, but he's not...
joe rogan
I don't know, man.
I don't think they play like that.
I think it recognizes that that's a predator and it wants it to fuck away from it.
Yeah, that's what I think it is, man.
And that thing's trying to bite it.
Like, what is going on here?
It's three and a half, four minutes of it.
Bro, this is some gay shit.
din thomas
I know, right?
joe rogan
They're sniffing assholes.
Maybe they're our friends.
Maybe I'm out of line.
Maybe they're friends.
Maybe the hyena and the donkey will get along, but probably not.
They're fucking predator and prey animals.
din thomas
Yeah, right.
joe rogan
But if they kick you, man, so there's a video of these beautiful horses, man, and they're in this corral, and this one horse just starts kicking, and he just kicks the other horse in the head, and the head- And it dies?
din thomas
Like it dies right then and there?
joe rogan
It dies like it got shot, like plop!
john rallo
That's crazy.
joe rogan
Just falls down, legs stiff.
matt serra
Killed it.
There's times I'm in the fucking bathroom like an hour at a clip in the middle of the night.
All I do is watch those fucking Animals on Animals fucking...
Nature's Metal.
You know all the Facebook videos?
I'm either watching like the world-style hip-hop fights.
I watch that more than regular fights.
unidentified
I don't know why.
din thomas
Because they're more fun.
joe rogan
I saw one today.
I don't think we could play it.
It probably violates rules.
But this dude is on the ground and he's basically like fighting this guy.
He's got a helmet on.
It looks like there was some sort of a traffic altercation.
And the guy who's on the ground has a dude and he's like setting up a heel hook.
And the guy's trying to attack him.
And then the other guy comes over and punches him and then they separate him.
And when they separated him, the dude who's on the ground, who's like holding the guy like he's gonna set up a heel hook, pulls a gun out and shoots him in the dick.
john rallo
Oh my god!
unidentified
Yes.
joe rogan
Just like this.
Boom!
Shoots him in the dick.
unidentified
Oh!
john rallo
What the fuck?
joe rogan
Bro, it's rough.
Wanna watch it?
unidentified
Absolutely!
joe rogan
100%, right?
matt serra
There's some things you can't unsee.
din thomas
Yeah, but you never ask.
joe rogan
Yeah, but you gotta see this.
matt serra
It's so funny, man.
joe rogan
You gotta see it because I had to watch it because it's an Instagram reel.
I had to watch it a couple of times just to try to figure out what exactly was going on.
matt serra
I always like to see what's going on out there, you know?
I always like to...
joe rogan
No, no.
Hold on a second.
matt serra
Oh, good.
Get us, get us score with some other shit, Jamie.
din thomas
Yeah.
unidentified
Hold on a second.
Was this chick up there last time or am I fucking crazy?
joe rogan
Yeah, she's always on.
Okay, I sent it to you.
Okay, this is the horse.
Watch this.
So this horse, it just kicks that horse's head.
Boom.
unidentified
Dead.
matt serra
Is it dead?
joe rogan
Yep, dead.
Look at his legs.
john rallo
Good lord.
joe rogan
It died.
Look at his legs.
unidentified
Oh!
matt serra
Wow!
joe rogan
Yep.
Bro, you get hit by one of those, you might as well get shot.
That's a hoof at the end of an 800-pounder beast.
Okay, now show the guy getting shot in the dick.
matt serra
Did you ever try horse meat, by the way?
din thomas
Is it good?
joe rogan
It tastes like wild game.
I tried it in Montreal.
There's this amazing restaurant in Montreal called Joe Beef.
And me and Duncan and Ari ate there.
And they served you...
They had horse tartare.
So it's essentially raw horse.
And then they had, like, a horse filet.
They served us horse filet.
I was like, wow, this is weird.
din thomas
You know who used to eat horse meat?
Patrick Cote.
Remember when he was in the house?
Yeah, we used to get a list of what we could put on there, what we wanted, and he put horse meat on his list, and we was like, what the fuck?
john rallo
Smart.
He knew nobody would fuck with it.
joe rogan
That's all those dudes up north in Canada, you know?
He's a Montreal guy.
matt serra
I almost don't want to see this, bro.
joe rogan
Yeah, you do.
unidentified
Yeah, you do.
joe rogan
So watch this.
unidentified
Why are you saying that?
joe rogan
So this guy...
din thomas
This has got to be Brazil.
joe rogan
I don't know, but look.
See, the other guy comes over and kicks him.
They push him away.
Now watch this.
Keep an eye on the guy on the bottom.
matt serra
He's got a gun?
joe rogan
Yep, watch here.
matt serra
Come on, man.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
unidentified
Oh, fuck.
joe rogan
Yeah.
matt serra
Wait, is he still fighting?
joe rogan
No, no, no.
Whoa.
matt serra
Whoa.
joe rogan
I mean, whoa.
matt serra
He's a eunuch.
unidentified
Whoa.
matt serra
And the best is, it looks like they're doing a little, alright.
That's definitely Brazil.
That guy's got a stripe or two on his back.
joe rogan
But I don't think that could be just...
matt serra
Oh, fuck!
Come on, man!
joe rogan
Bro, bro, bro, bro.
matt serra
Dude, keep that shit between you and Tom Segura.
I don't need to see that shit.
I don't want to be part of that fucking text.
din thomas
Oh, man, that shit hurt me.
It hurt me just to watch it.
unidentified
Fuck.
din thomas
Oh, no.
john rallo
You gotta wonder what other damage that did.
joe rogan
Oh, it's over.
matt serra
Oh, what other damage?
You lost his dick, Raul.
john rallo
I think he lost everything.
joe rogan
He lost a lot.
That bullet probably blew his hip apart.
matt serra
You gotta really try to avoid everything in the street.
joe rogan
Everything.
Everything.
matt serra
That's what I always tell Dean Thomas, the troublemaker.
din thomas
What?
unidentified
I always gotta stop him from fighting.
That's not true.
matt serra
Dean does mellow me out, though.
din thomas
Yeah, I gotta stop him.
Every time we do a show, he almost gets in a fight.
matt serra
First of all, first of all, not true.
But second of all, we did that fucking cold plunge.
Let me ask you something about the degrees of that, because I'm thinking about adding this into my routine.
din thomas
The cold punch?
matt serra
I swear, man, because I start my day with a steam.
I'm thinking about putting a small one in my locker room upstairs in my thing.
But it was fucking brutal, is what it was.
When we did it, it was 32 degrees?
34. Okay, I'm trying to make it worse.
unidentified
34 for three minutes.
matt serra
Is that pussy shit?
joe rogan
No, that's normal.
Yeah, that's what I do every day.
34?
34. Three minutes every day.
matt serra
That was fucking...
joe rogan
I do it before my workout.
matt serra
But did you...
Alright, next question is, did you build up to that?
joe rogan
Yes.
unidentified
Wow.
matt serra
Two days?
din thomas
Two days to build up to that?
joe rogan
The third day I did 20 minutes.
din thomas
Stop.
joe rogan
No, I did.
I filmed it.
At 34?
din thomas
At 34 degrees.
joe rogan
Yeah, I wanted to see how long it could go.
matt serra
That's pretty crazy.
Well, look.
joe rogan
You know somebody watch?
All I know is, no, nobody's watching.
matt serra
We handled it differently.
din thomas
Yeah, we sure did.
matt serra
He was quiet and then once in a while you hear like a Goggins come out of him like I can handle this Fucking I just wouldn't shut the fuck up He wouldn't shut the fuck up.
din thomas
I was thinking to myself, he shut the fuck up, I can't concentrate in this.
matt serra
I had to keep myself, I wanted to jump the fuck out.
And Dana was right there.
joe rogan
Did he do it?
matt serra
He did it.
john rallo
How long?
din thomas
But he does it every day.
john rallo
That's right.
matt serra
I'm pretty sure he told me he does it at like 50 degrees.
unidentified
Yeah.
john rallo
Alright.
matt serra
What the fuck is happening?
din thomas
Is it okay to do it at 50 degrees?
joe rogan
Yeah, it's okay.
Look, it's still cold.
I don't think it has the same amount of an effect, probably, but I'm just guessing.
It might be the same thing.
If you did like 50 degrees for like five minutes, maybe that's the same as like 34 degrees for three minutes or two minutes.
I don't know.
matt serra
Well, then I'll do that.
joe rogan
Maybe.
It was brutal.
I like the part where I don't want to do it and then I do it.
I like that.
din thomas
Yeah, and you do it in the morning?
joe rogan
First time.
din thomas
Like, how do you do that in the morning?
Like, that's the last thing that I want to do when I wake up.
john rallo
Probably the best time.
joe rogan
Exactly.
That's why you do it.
You do it.
It's easy.
It's an easy win.
It's over and done.
It's an easy win.
john rallo
Imagine if all day you were thinking about, oh, I got to do it.
I got to get it in and get it done.
joe rogan
It's also, you know you don't want to do it, and yet you did it.
So it's an easy win.
din thomas
Well, I felt like that after we finished.
So I bought one, but I purposely didn't put it together yet.
Just so I didn't have to do it.
unidentified
Just got it.
Just so I had to look at that motherfucker and make myself look like a bitch.
That's awesome.
matt serra
I think it's an easy thing to add to my morning routine.
Because I have a nice routine as it is.
I start at 7 a.m.
I do that class.
I get up at 5. I get there early.
I get my head straight and I get in the steam.
That nice steam after that.
So I don't...
You know...
I like getting my head straight, but I don't like smelling bad, so I like to, like, afterwards.
I'm just, I'm in this, I'm zen mode, man.
And I'm caffeined up.
john rallo
Now you're in zen mode.
din thomas
I see what you did there.
matt serra
I like that.
I might get into that shit.
I like it.
As long as I'm not fucking craving, like, Marlboros if I get off this shit or something.
I'm not going to want to fucking want nicotine, am I? Or need it?
joe rogan
Well, just don't get it.
matt serra
What?
joe rogan
Don't get more of it.
matt serra
I'm saying if I stop the zit, am I going to want more of it?
joe rogan
Well, I don't know how your body works, but a lot of people get addicted to it.
matt serra
Well, thanks for turning me on to it, you fucking crack pusher.
din thomas
Thank you.
joe rogan
It's good for you.
matt serra
Is it good for you, though?
joe rogan
I think it's good for your brain.
matt serra
Well, then there you go.
unidentified
I'm on it.
joe rogan
Yeah.
But I think, you know, you got to be careful if you're one of those guys.
matt serra
Well, I mean, how many of them do you take a day?
Yeah, talk to me, Jamie.
din thomas
Look out for me.
joe rogan
Nicotine prevents the formation in the test tube of protein clumps linked to Alzheimer's disease, scientists announced at a press conference today.
The finding may provide a useful starting point for developing drugs that delay or prevent the disease.
Research is quick to caution, however, that harmful effects of smoking, strengthened by a report in science last week, linking a carcinogen byproduct of cigarette smoke to a specific kind of lung tumor, far outweigh any possible benefit from nicotine and tobacco.
But what they're saying is, don't smoke.
matt serra
But the nicotine itself?
joe rogan
Yeah.
I think nicotine itself...
Nicotine definitely is a nootropic, right?
Like, if you can Google that.
So it's a substance that's been shown to enhance cognitive function.
It's one of the things that, like, Stephen King said when he stopped smoking.
He said that was one of the hardest things for his writing.
He said, like, his synapses didn't fire as fast.
matt serra
Oh, what does this say?
joe rogan
Nicotine's cognitive effects have gained significant attention in recent decades, and some non-smokers have even started using nicotine gum or patches as a nootropic.
Research has shown that nicotine can speed up reaction time, improve working memory, and enhance focus and attention.
din thomas
What?
matt serra
Dude?
joe rogan
Yeah.
matt serra
You got me!
din thomas
I know!
You got me!
matt serra
Watch me in VR now!
john rallo
I'm gonna fucking kill everybody!
Let's get ready to say, take it before you play.
matt serra
That's nice, man.
I might fuck around with that.
joe rogan
Interesting, right?
Interesting.
matt serra
Yeah, man, as long as it's...
din thomas
I think I'm going to go up with the alpha brain.
joe rogan
That's great.
I'm interested in anything that gives you a positive effect on your brain.
matt serra
Or also, what about dick pills?
Anything that has a positive effect on your life.
You know?
It's fun to party.
din thomas
Yeah, I used to take the Alpha Brain all the time.
Then I ran out and forgot.
joe rogan
Oh, we'll get you some.
We'll get you some.
I'll get some sent to you.
But all those other ones are really good, too.
That Neuro One shit, that stuff's great.
You can put it in a protein shake.
Or you can just drink by itself, taste good.
There's a bunch of them.
matt serra
How many of the Zen things would you do a day?
Like one?
joe rogan
It takes me a few days to go through one packet.
I don't know how many is in a packet.
matt serra
Oh, so would you take more than one a day?
joe rogan
Yeah, I'll take one, two, three a day, four a day if I feel like it, yeah.
matt serra
And you feel a difference?
joe rogan
Yeah, but I do like to know that I can take days off.
I take days off, I'm like, how do I feel?
I feel fine.
matt serra
You do feel fine?
joe rogan
I don't feel weird.
john rallo
Do you use it before a podcast or before you do a show?
joe rogan
I like it during podcasts.
john rallo
So you see, it has to have a purpose.
joe rogan
This is also the same reason why I drink coffee a lot.
I'm trying to keep my brain going if I'm talking to really smart people.
matt serra
I was happy when I saw that guy and he was telling me what I should...
Because I got my...
Did I tell you?
So I took the shit in the box.
din thomas
Oh yeah, the shit in the box.
john rallo
Stop that story.
matt serra
Oh, I'm sorry.
din thomas
Get back to the shit in the box.
matt serra
I'm sorry.
So after I saw the guy and he gave me the sample, I go, all right, listen, I'm going to knock this thing out.
It took me a while.
It was months before I did it.
But then I find...
john rallo
Now, real quick, does the shit in the box go to a doctor or to a holistic doctor?
matt serra
No, they come and pick it up and then they go to a lab and then he gets the results.
john rallo
Is this for a doctor's doctor?
matt serra
So he gets the results from it.

We wanted to find out what's the definition of holistic.
The problem might be in just that people have co-opted that term and use that term holistic for a bunch of hippie shit.
But a holistic doctor...
matt serra
I'm telling you.
john rallo
Holistic approach.
joe rogan
What is the exact definition of holistic?
matt serra
And I said, I can smell bullshit.
You know, when I met the guy, I'm like, again, I was expecting half a hippie, and he seemed...
joe rogan
Okay.
Characterized by the belief that the parts of something are interconnected and can be explained only by reference to the whole.
Well, that's logical.
john rallo
Here's a medicine definition.
joe rogan
Characterized as a treatment of the whole person, taking into account mental and social factors rather than just the symptoms of an illness.
unidentified
Okay.
joe rogan
Many people conclude that holistic medicines are beneficial.
So, the problem is not...
Like, when I hear that word, holistic, I think bullshit art.
matt serra
Already, just hippies, fucking...
joe rogan
But if you're talking about medicine, it totally makes sense.
john rallo
I agree.
joe rogan
It's just, it's been co-opted.
din thomas
Right.
joe rogan
It's a good word.
matt serra
We were doing a Zoom thing with me...
Him and my wife, you know, because he wanted her there because, you know, I'm like a bad kid.
I don't want to eat vegetables.
And I don't know what he's going to tell me to eat and shit.
I don't like eating bad...
You know, I'm picky my eating.
din thomas
Right.
matt serra
So I was afraid what he was going to tell me.
So when we went on there, he was showing me all the stuff that...
Well first, let me tell you how I took the shit first.
So I was afraid of taking the shit because you never know how it comes out and I was really like, I didn't know where to do it.
So I went to my...
You guys don't have to hear about it.
john rallo
You're in now.
matt serra
So I go to my school.
I like to keep stuff somewhat spicy with me and my wife, so I don't want to do that.
My house guy forbid it goes all over.
So I go to my shower at my school, right?
And I'm basically...
Thank goodness it wasn't all over the place.
And I was doing more of like a standing...
I was almost like a rodeo rider.
joe rogan
So you're catching it?
You really gotta make sure your wrist stays parallel.
din thomas
Yeah, could you imagine?
john rallo
For real.
joe rogan
If you get a little accidental dip in your shit, then you gotta scoop that back off the tile.
matt serra
You know what's bad about it?
unidentified
Everything.
Everything.
matt serra
There's nothing good about it.
But I have to know what's going on with my gut.
So after I took the shit, you gotta, it's almost like, and it really ruined my love of Nutella, because I used to always like the fucking little scoops with the, because you gotta take a little spoon, In your shit, and he goes, make sure you get different signs of it.
There's a watery part of this.
So I'm in there, and you gotta put it in a little vial.
And gossip is...
unidentified
You guys wanted to hear about it.
matt serra
So after that, you take it, you shake it off.
And then you put it in an envelope and you ship it off.
So that was the story of that.
And then when they seen the stuff that was highlighted in the red zone, like what is going to be affecting my gut?
I think he said there was like a parasite thing in there.
john rallo
You had spaghetti.
unidentified
There was like a parasite.
matt serra
I don't know what the fuck.
He goes, do you have animals?
I'm like, no, I don't fucking have animals.
I don't know what the fuck.
But there was also like a big bacteria in there, you know?
So the clear of that bacteria, I'm drinking a shake, this thorn-type shake.
I don't know if it's called thorn, but it's that.
And I'm on different supplements from...
I don't eat vegetables, so there's these...
I got these four green pills.
You got me on supplements and...
We'll see how it goes.
It's fresh.
It's only like a weekend.
Because it took me forever to do that shit in the box.
So I'll let you know how it works.
I don't know how it is yet.
joe rogan
Ari Shafir was on Legion of Skanks, this podcast they do.
So they film it live in front of an audience.
And Ari had taken a shit in a Tupperware.
And brought it on stage.
Who'd he give it to?
Luis Gomez?
unidentified
No, why?
joe rogan
Who'd he give it to?
Big J? Yeah, birthday surprise.
It was a birthday surprise.
unidentified
Oh, no.
john rallo
Ari is out of his fucking mind, dude.
joe rogan
So, he opens up.
They open up this Tupperware, and the smell is just...
matt serra
No, come on.
Oh, man.
unidentified
People start running out of the room.
john rallo
Good Lord.
joe rogan
Is there a video of that?
matt serra
There's nothing worse than the smell of human shit.
joe rogan
I don't know if that'd be it.
john rallo
In a Tupperware for days.
din thomas
Yours is bad enough.
joe rogan
Mine's bad enough.
Like, when you take a horrific shit, and then someone in your family goes in there after you, and you're like, I'm so sorry.
john rallo
I'm sorry, Menas, but I'm gonna do it.
You met my boy Menas.
joe rogan
Yeah, yeah.
john rallo
We were in California.
We were hanging out.
We hit one of them Del Tacos.
So the food was fucking alright.
He's got to take a shit.
He comes out of the fucking bathroom, dry heaving, his eyes watering from his own shit.
That was the fucking...
You know me too.
That amazed me.
din thomas
That's insane.
john rallo
This motherfucker come out.
I'm talking.
He was like...
His eyes are watering.
It was his own shit, man.
What's the name of his diner?
Valentino's.
joe rogan
Love it.
Bro, that is hilarious.
Your own shit is so bad, you're dry heaving.
Oh, come on!
This is it!
matt serra
Oh, no!
joe rogan
Wait, go from the beginning.
Go from the beginning.
unidentified
I don't think you'll see it.
Oh, Jesus.
joe rogan
Look at his smile.
matt serra
Is that Mickey Gall?
joe rogan
Bro, I'm gagging just looking at that.
din thomas
That's disgusting.
matt serra
That's Mickey Gall right there.
din thomas
It looks like Mickey Gall.
joe rogan
I think it is Mickey.
I think it is Mickey.
Dude I legit almost threw up.
Did you see that Jamie?
I legit almost threw up.
I can't look at that.
Get that off the screen and it will throw up.
matt serra
How about Ari not able to look away from it?
unidentified
I know, right?
din thomas
He looks like a proud dad.
joe rogan
He's fucking smiling Like a brown dad Oh my god Look at him It is funny though He's a psycho He's the best Ari is the best.
He's such a psycho.
john rallo
He's crazy.
matt serra
Is he still training?
joe rogan
Nah, he fucked his knee up.
Fucked his knee up then quit.
He trained for a little bit though.
matt serra
Got a brand new knee.
Everybody's tapping out now.
They got their fucking knees.
din thomas
Me too.
joe rogan
Well, you're still rolling, even with the new knee, right?
matt serra
I am, but I'm a little more choosy.
joe rogan
Does it have the same stability?
matt serra
I lost you for a second.
What's that?
joe rogan
Does it have the same stability?
Like, what is it like?
matt serra
The problem is, I was rolling with one of my buddies Abe, my black belt Abe, and I'd always meet up with him because we have nice training sessions.
And it's not, I don't think it's my knee as much.
Remember I told you I tore my quad in the rehab?
Like I was stepping down too high and I tore that shit, so it's a little deformed.
And I went to butterfly sweep them.
And when I went to butterfly sweep them, something popped on the outside.
Like if I show you my leg, it's something on that knee.
And I don't know what I strained or what I pulled.
I don't know what MCLs I have left.
I don't know what the fuck's there.
But it felt weak for a bit after that.
So I haven't rolled super hard since.
And that was over a month ago.
joe rogan
Do you do any of that like knees over toes stuff?
I heard about that, man.
din thomas
I've seen guys do it and it seems like it works.
joe rogan
It does work.
There's a guy, Knees over toes guy on Instagram, and this dude had gone through a bunch of knee surgeries and, you know, like real problems and realized that part of the problem was he wasn't strengthening all the stabilizing muscles all in and around his knee.
With like tibia raises and with those step downs and walking backwards on a treadmill.
john rallo
Backwards with a sled too.
joe rogan
Yeah, and Nordic curls when you're lying on your chest and you bring your body up only with your legs.
unidentified
Hamstrings.
matt serra
Crazy.
joe rogan
Yeah, with your hamstrings.
I do those every day.
I do those too on a slant board.
john rallo
Yeah, I have a slant board.
joe rogan
But those Nordic curls are so fucking hard to do.
Like when you first do it, you're like, oh my god, this is crazy.
john rallo
Dude, they're super hard to do.
joe rogan
So the whole idea is about strengthening all the muscles that stabilize the knee, and most people are just using the leg, and they're hoping that all that work gets done.
But if you really want to make your legs really strong, where the knees are really stable, you really want to do things that stabilize that.
I mean, think about how much of a knee injury puts you out.
Every elite athlete should be doing this kind of shit.
unidentified
Yeah.
john rallo
Like, I have pretty bad patella tendinitis in my left knee, and it's helped pretty much eliminate it.
joe rogan
Yeah, it's pretty impressive stuff, and this guy gives it all away for free because his philosophy was, look, if I was an 11-year-old that had a knee injury, I would want this available to me.
And so he's a fucking awesome guy.
He's been on the podcast before.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
joe rogan
I gotta start doing that shit.
But his stuff is rock solid, man.
I mean, my knees feel so much better when doing that.
Yeah.
Split squats.
Slant board, body weight squats.
I do a hundred of those every day.
I do the Nordic curls.
I do all that shit.
john rallo
That's where I got to get on that slant board and step off and touch your heel to the floor, too.
joe rogan
Yeah, that's great.
matt serra
I got to be more disciplined with that shit.
joe rogan
You use the sled, the backwards, walking backwards with the sled?
john rallo
I'll do it for like 10 minutes.
unidentified
Amazing.
john rallo
Throw a couple plates on and just...
joe rogan
Back and forth, back and forth.
din thomas
So that worked, because I got no meniscus in my left knee.
And I just always feel the bone grinding.
joe rogan
We were talking about the cadaver meniscus.
They do do that now.
john rallo
You looked in any like Gel 1 or Synvisc 2, like sometimes you can get a shot that'll help with some of that.
It only lasts four to six months, but it's better than having your knee grind.
joe rogan
I got one of those once and it didn't really seem to help me.
john rallo
Didn't help you?
joe rogan
No.
john rallo
Yeah, mine I liked and then I got the stem cells.
joe rogan
But I've talked to people that had no meniscus at all and they got one of those things and I was like my knee was brand new again for months.
john rallo
I had a guy, he's a firefighter, my buddy Carl, his knee was jacked and he's the one that told me about the gel one and all and he was doing it and it allowed him to come back and train and everything and eventually insurance wouldn't pay for the shot but they would pay for his knee replacement.
It's so crazy.
Instead of a $1,500 shot, they'll play 50 Gs.
joe rogan
It's a scam.
john rallo
Such a joke.
matt serra
The thing with those knees, though, me and you last night, I'm not doing that without my new knee.
Walking around town, I'm not doing that.
I'd go to Tropicana for a fight, and I'd be with my buddy, and we'd have to stop every...
How many feet?
I'm like, y'all, we gotta chill.
He's like, dude, it's time.
john rallo
I couldn't walk.
matt serra
So now, I'm back.
That's why I'm not getting the other one done until I have to.
joe rogan
My problem was anytime I would injure something, I would not give it enough time.
I would get stem cells.
I think that's everybody's.
I would not give it enough time.
And I'd be like, it's good enough.
And then it would get aggravated again.
It's like, goddammit, now it's chronic.
matt serra
See, I don't like to do all those exercises and shit.
I think I'm scarred from all that.
The only way I like to stay in shape...
Get some training camp.
Training camp.
Longo had some old school shit.
I did so many.
joe rogan
Longo's the best.
john rallo
I love Ray Longo.
unidentified
You two would be the greatest reality show of all time.
Oh my god.
joe rogan
You ain't kidding.
I love Longo.
What am I, UFC producer?
Here's another one.
You two.
Imagine that.
matt serra
Longo's one of a kind, Longo.
john rallo
He's one of my favorite people.
matt serra
Longo's just an old school guy.
Never had a contract with anybody.
Just always is there helping people for the right reasons.
Not just to get his face in there.
Nowadays, there's a bunch of fucking whores out there.
joe rogan
He's just a real man.
din thomas
He's a real man.
joe rogan
I fucking love that guy.
But I love the two of you together.
When you guys were in the corner, it's fucking amazing.
din thomas
There's no corner in MMA like that one.
joe rogan
It's so fun.
But it's also rock-solid information.
matt serra
We keep it very simple.
And it's just crazy nowadays.
It's a little weird now with the whole team, man.
Times change and stuff, but everybody's out in Vegas now.
The whole team's like...
I mean, everybody's doing well, so we're all happy for everybody, but like...
john rallo
Vegas is very tempting for young fighters and it's and I don't blame them like well the facility really I think is gonna pull people out the PI all your food is taken care of and you have the most sophisticated training environment Available on earth and if there's something better they're gonna get it whatever the fuck it is and they say I mean it's a beautiful thing I think it's fantastic the only thing I think it sucks for is that you have these guys who are coming up and Yeah,
I think...
And it's not his fault either.
He just is there, and it just makes sense.
joe rogan
But I think in a perfect world, they collaborate.
And then they're both there.
I think in a perfect world, that's how you do it, right?
I mean, that's what Greg Jackson and Farah Sahabi and all those guys did when they were trading fighters back and forth, and they all trained together.
That's the way to do it.
But you never leave your original team if they're good.
If it works out and you have a relationship with them, you figure it out together.
Unless you're trapped in a too small of an environment and your coach is just not able to fit the needs of like, you know, there's some guys that are just super talented, but they start out in the middle of nowhere.
And, you know, they don't have a real good gym.
The guy doesn't really know the high level shit.
john rallo
I think that's the best thing ever for the fighters.
unidentified
It's sick.
din thomas
Yeah, I'm in Vegas all the time, and I'm working with all kind of fighters, and I would never ask anybody to leave their team.
In fact, I'm like, listen, I'll give you any information you want, but you can't leave your team.
You know what I'm saying?
I'm not taking you.
I don't want you.
joe rogan
Good.
Beautiful.
matt serra
Also, taxes.
They save money with taxes out there.
It's very designed.
joe rogan
But it also creates a conflict where the conflict's not necessary, right?
It's because he's for sure getting new information.
Guys are getting new information from Nixick.
Getting new information from training with everybody.
You're on a path, but you're on a path with the people that you started the path with.
din thomas
Right, yeah.
joe rogan
Even if you're in this new place, maybe you're enhancing your education, you're getting better at fighting.
You're still...
Those are your people.
matt serra
And you want what's best for them if you really care for them.
But at the same time...
What did you sign up for?
What did I sign up for?
Like, I'm not gonna be in a corner with somebody, and I could like them, but, you know, me and Longo, what we did is with me and Longo, some local kids, there's a time when it's like, alright, Al's from Wantor, Weidman's from Baldwin, they're all local kids.
Who's fighting?
This one's taking out the best of Brazil, this one's, we're going to Australia, Al's fucking up this guy in London.
This is what I'm a part of.
Me and Longo taking our guys to the flagpole.
And then who's with us?
Aljo, or Al is our third guy.
I didn't sign on for anything else.
In other words, I want to make these guys the best they can, but once it gets to a certain degree now where it's like, alright man, this guy's going to be in the corner, and this...
Alright, well now that you guys are calling the shots...
You don't need me no more, because I'm not going to be fucking in there.
Okay, is it my turn to take the towel in?
unidentified
Fuck everybody!
joe rogan
I'm out!
matt serra
Who wants to go in this town?
Nick Sick, John Wood, who wants to?
And I love those guys.
They're good guys.
I like them.
They're good.
I'm friendly with them.
But I'm not a part of that.
I want the best for my fucking guys.
I love those guys.
Fucking Marab is going to be the next champ.
unidentified
But Marab is unstoppable.
joe rogan
When he was carrying Henry Cejudo with his tongue out.
unidentified
He's got his tongue out.
din thomas
And he's like a savage moment.
joe rogan
What a savage moment.
Walking over to Mark Zuckerberg.
Holding Henry fucking Cejudo.
unidentified
Two division world champion.
Embarrassing.
joe rogan
Look at that.
That's insane.
matt serra
Marab, the thing is with Marab, I've never seen, in all my years, I've never seen a gas tank like that.
I never have.
joe rogan
It's incredible.
Because it's not like he's slow.
You generally associate really high-level endurance with guys that maybe don't have the kind of power he has.
matt serra
But he's also durable.
If you watched his fight with Marlon Morales...
Not only did he get dropped, it was almost about to get stopped.
But then it was almost, by the end of the round, not only did he recover, he was beating the shit out of him.
Like, just beating, it almost ended in the other way.
He might have won back that round.
I never see, I'm like, holy fuck.
joe rogan
He's an animal.
john rallo
Dude, his social media is getting funny, too.
din thomas
He's great on social media.
john rallo
He's the best.
joe rogan
He's the best.
He's an animal.
matt serra
And I'm happy that him and Aljo never fought.
They never, you know what I mean?
That's a beautiful thing.
joe rogan
Did Aljo have to go up?
unidentified
No.
joe rogan
Is he, like, really struggling?
Why did he decide to go up?
matt serra
Well, I think it's time.
I mean, you'd have to ask him, but...
It was hard for him to get down to that weight.
I mean, he's done it.
He's a pro.
joe rogan
He's so good at that weight, though.
matt serra
Yeah, but, man, he'll strangle guys the size of Rallo.
I've seen him.
joe rogan
Oh, I'm sure he can.
But I always felt that he had really good endurance for a guy who cuts that much weight.
And he could push a pace.
And his size and the grappling advantage.
When he strangled Corey Sanhagen, I was like, holy shit.
john rallo
That was impressive.
unidentified
Holy shit!
din thomas
But I think he's gonna be better now.
So I've been working with him a little bit, just talking to him.
joe rogan
So he's healthier?
din thomas
Yeah, he's healthier now.
He's not concerned about his weight.
And that was a big part for him at 35. Half of his camp was just making weight.
joe rogan
And as he puts it, do you think there should be more weight classes?
din thomas
I think so.
joe rogan
I think so.
matt serra
I think they should have been back in fucking 2001. I was a fucking tweeter, man.
155 was fucking hard for me, man.
But I was like Gollum on that fucking scale.
But 170, imagine me now at 170 with fucking MVPs and all these motherfuckers.
I'll be up to the dick.
unidentified
That's true.
matt serra
And I, first of all, people are shitting on that guy.
joe rogan
How does MVP make 170?
din thomas
I had no idea.
matt serra
Hey, what did you think of his, I liked his, everybody's shitting on him.
john rallo
I liked his appearance.
joe rogan
Listen, that's what he, that's what I always was saying, telling people.
john rallo
He handled Kevin Holland easily.
joe rogan
I was telling people those point fighters, the guys who are elite at that skill of blitzing in, that's a very specific skill and it's hard to handle.
And if you're just used to guys Muay Thai-ing you, and then some guy is doing that, it's wild, wild to deal with.
din thomas
No, when I trained Tyron for Wonderboy, we brought in karate people.
We went to karate schools looking for the best karate guys.
Just to be able to deal with that aspect of the fight.
matt serra
Yeah, well, I still think Wonderboy won, so what do you think about that?
joe rogan
I think Tyron handled Wonderboy better than anybody in Wonderboy's prime.
I think he handled him better than anybody because he just waited on him.
He did a lot of waiting on him, but he fucked him up.
Like, he rocked him twice.
din thomas
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
matt serra
Like, bad.
joe rogan
And, you know, Wonderboy was the guy thought to be the striker.
matt serra
I never really watched.
I saw some highlights of Michael Page, Michael Venom Page from Bella Tar, but I never really watched.
I just don't know when they're on, to be honest.
joe rogan
He's sensational.
unidentified
He is.
matt serra
People were shitting on his appearance.
I thought it was great.
joe rogan
Listen, he fought Kevin Howard.
In his first fight in the UFC, he jumped into the deep end of the pool with a real dangerous guy who's got one-punch knockout power from his fucking back.
din thomas
I know.
joe rogan
Remember that shit when he knocked down Jacare from his back?
matt serra
Hey, it's the first guy in there, whoever fucking Kevin Holland, Kevin Holland.
You understand?
Like, Kevin Holland's usually talking shit, winning or losing.
You know, he's on the bottom of the ice.
Like, hey, you're stronger than I thought.
joe rogan
Yeah.
matt serra
He had him, you know, a little fucking...
joe rogan
Perplexed.
matt serra
Yeah, I like to hear a lot of times when they go back to the corner...
john rallo
Dude, he was mentally beat after the first round, it really sounded like.
joe rogan
You can't hit that guy, and when you get close, he's so creative.
Those spinning elbows he kept hitting him with.
din thomas
Oh, I know.
unidentified
He's like, he's faster than we thought.
john rallo
And they go, you gotta cut him off.
He goes, he's not there.
joe rogan
It's a different thing.
He's doing that point karate type movement.
And he trained it over and over again.
unidentified
Come on, man.
joe rogan
It's that that ability to move in and out in his footwork is so sensational It's like that is a different thing to deal with It's like wrestlers if you're if you're used to grappling on your knees only and then all of a sudden you have to wrestle Big difference.
It's kind of like that these guys their their ability to close distance in that sideways stance Machida heads Wonderboy did it the best UFC. Yeah Wonderboy did some wild shit in the UFC It's such a different style.
matt serra
And my little Jimmy Bird is always like, they keep their hands down.
I got your Jimmy.
It's a fucking thing.
joe rogan
Remember Wonder Boy, Jake Ellenberger?
din thomas
Oh, that's the kick.
joe rogan
The wheel kick.
And this was like after Jake Ellenberger had said, he's not going to hit me with any of that fancy spinning shit.
matt serra
Oh, no, he laughed.
He goes, I don't cry.
He goes, that's cute.
Something like that.
din thomas
Yeah.
And he got embarrassed.
joe rogan
I think Wonderboy has the perfect con.
Here's the perfect con.
He's genuinely the nicest guy in the world.
He's handsome and wholesome, and he's just a sweet, sweet guy.
And so that's like a mask that a killer wears.
unidentified
And then he's fucking piecing you up and you're like, oh no!
john rallo
What about the Jeff Neal fight?
din thomas
What he did with Jeff Neal was he pretended to be his friend.
john rallo
In the little cage.
joe rogan
You get real confused.
Back up a little bit so you can see before it.
You get real confused with this dude.
And you get confused by the way he looks and how nice he talks.
He's a fucking karate assassin.
matt serra
He's so good.
joe rogan
Probably the greatest karate fighter that's ever fought in MMA. He's so good.
I mean, there's Raymond Daniels.
He was another guy that was like an elite point fighting guy that's also a kickboxer that fought in Glory.
din thomas
Yeah, Raymond Daniels is good.
joe rogan
He's the guy that has that 720 degree punch.
din thomas
Yeah.
joe rogan
He spins in the air and KOs the guy with one punch.
It's the craziest thing you've ever seen.
If you saw it in a movie.
din thomas
You think a kick is coming and then he just goes whack.
joe rogan
What is it if you saw it in a movie?
He's a California guy.
Or that's where his gym is, I believe.
john rallo
Raymond Daniels sees another one.
joe rogan
Oh, he's so dangerous, dude.
Raymond Daniels, watch this.
unidentified
Boom!
joe rogan
I mean, come on, son.
That is crazy.
That's a crazy thing to watch.
john rallo
How do you prepare for that?
din thomas
How do you prepare?
joe rogan
And in Bellator, he has one of the wildest knockouts.
Excuse me, not Bellator.
In Glory, in Glory Kickboxing, he has this touch side kick, jump spinning back kick to the face KO. You know, high level kickboxing match, man.
But the way he set it up, watch this.
This is a thing of beauty.
Watch this here.
unidentified
Boom!
din thomas
Oh, man.
unidentified
What?
joe rogan
What?
What the fuck is that?
din thomas
Damn.
joe rogan
Show that again.
Show that again.
Look at that, dude.
Are you fucking kidding me?
john rallo
I don't even know.
I think he kicked him in his neck.
din thomas
But he's still fighting.
He's fighting in karate combat.
That's why he has a shirt on.
joe rogan
Bro, Raymond Daniels.
Raymond Daniels, dude.
Raymond Daniels.
And Raymond Daniels and Michael Venom Page fought, I believe, back in the day in a point-fighting match.
So those guys that can cover distance like that, that's a different thing, man.
It's a different thing.
matt serra
I like that he's part of the UFC because there's so many nice matchups.
At first, I was liking maybe him versus Wonderboy.
Then I was thinking about it more, and I'm like, wait a minute.
It might just be that.
But there's a lot of nice matchups.
He didn't look like he had those UFC jetties.
joe rogan
Not at all.
No, he looked like he was enjoying himself.
john rallo
Yeah, I was impressed.
joe rogan
He's really dangerous, man.
He's so tall and such a sniper.
And just that movement.
Good luck finding anybody to emulate that shit in camp.
matt serra
Good luck.
din thomas
I mean, you gotta get Raymond Daniels.
joe rogan
Also, if your whole life is spent fighting at a certain pace and a certain distance, and all of a sudden this guy moves it by 30%.
din thomas
Yeah.
joe rogan
30% is crazy.
He's way back here.
unidentified
He's way back here, and he's standing in front of you, and he's moving around.
din thomas
And you try to close the distance, and they're just so fast.
They beat you to it.
joe rogan
You remember when Lyoto Machida knocked out Ryan Bader?
Ryan Bader's trying to close the distance, and we were just planting a left hand on him.
It's like, whoa!
It was like that style is very hard to deal with if someone's really good at it and they can do the other shit too.
din thomas
Yeah.
unidentified
If they can defend a takedown, they'll get it.
joe rogan
I'm so interested in Jamal Hill and Pineda.
I'm so interested in that fight.
matt serra
I know.
joe rogan
I am so interested in that fight.
john rallo
Do you think his Achilles is straight?
joe rogan
Dude, I don't know.
I mean, I would assume it is, otherwise he wouldn't be jumping back in.
I know it was more than eight months.
din thomas
Is that what they say it takes?
joe rogan
How many months ago did Jamal Hill injure his Achilles?
din thomas
I was there at the game he was playing, too.
They was all playing a basketball game.
matt serra
It's always something stupid.
din thomas
He can hoop, though.
Jamal Hooker play.
unidentified
Nice.
din thomas
And he somehow...
matt serra
You could also fucking...
unidentified
Yeah.
matt serra
God, you could also strike.
joe rogan
Okay, so this was in July.
So August, September, October, November, December, January, February, March.
unidentified
Eight.
Eight.
Ooh.
din thomas
I'd like to have more...
john rallo
It's right on the limit.
joe rogan
I'd like to have a little more.
john rallo
I would assume he's had to be on the BPCs.
joe rogan
No, you can't.
john rallo
Even as an injury?
joe rogan
No, you can't.
john rallo
So they can't even get permission to use that?
joe rogan
No, you can do stem cells.
They can do PRP. They can do a lot of things.
It's so silly.
He assures Achilles injury fully healed ahead of UFC 300. It's not a problem at all.
matt serra
Hey, man, I don't think he gets enough props, first of all.
I think he's a fucking beast.
joe rogan
Jamal Hill's fucking dangerous.
Watch the fight with Glover.
Yeah, watch the fight with Glover.
He pieced Glover up.
And Glover is fucking good.
To piece him up like that on the feed?
matt serra
Taking away his singles real quick.
joe rogan
People underestimate him for some strange reason.
And I don't understand it.
I've heard people talk about his power.
Watch that Johnny Walker fight.
He hit him in the forehead.
It was hit by a sniper.
din thomas
The OSP fight?
Yeah, man.
joe rogan
He's good, man.
He's good.
He's fucking dangerous.
matt serra
Show me somebody that did something to him standing up.
Because I'm not finding it.
joe rogan
That's what I'm saying.
matt serra
I think Alex is going to be so confident You know, shit happens.
But I think Alex is going to be so confident because of all his kickboxing and everything else that with these little gloves, I think Jamal's going to surprise him.
He's going to fucking sharpshoot him.
joe rogan
Jamal's a one-punch knockout striker at light heavyweight for sure, and he's a big, tall dude, and he knows movement.
He's fucking dangerous, man.
john rallo
He's good at keeping his range.
joe rogan
Bro, he's fucking dangerous.
Jamal's dangerous.
I mean, a lot of people are picking Pajeda to run him over.
matt serra
Really?
joe rogan
Which I think is interesting.
john rallo
Yeah, I'm not sure about that.
joe rogan
I'm not sure about that, man.
Dude, I think this is going to be a great fight.
matt serra
Oh, yeah.
joe rogan
The thing about Behata, though, is he's ultra high-level.
Like, people just think about only his power, and you only think about, like, because he's got the most insane touch of death.
It's insane.
He just sleeps people with everything.
b-real
But when you see his movement and that sneaky shit he does where he gets that calf kick off, you don't see...
john rallo
Yeah, you don't even see it coming.
joe rogan
You don't see shit, man.
You don't see shit.
And when he checks his kicks, he doesn't check them.
He gets his foot like a hacky sack position.
din thomas
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
joe rogan
He lifts his shin up so you're just sliding under it.
You ain't getting shit.
And he's coming down with a right hand every time.
din thomas
He's good, man.
joe rogan
He's fucking good.
din thomas
I think the speed of Jamal Hill is going to be the difference.
As long as he has it and that Achilles doesn't hinder him.
joe rogan
Yeah, well, goddamn it would suck if he came in at 70%.
Yeah.
Not 100%.
din thomas
He's going to need to be 100%.
joe rogan
Because the thing is, there's got to be a lot of pressure to be UFC 300. And you might be, I can do it, I can do it.
I don't know.
I'm hoping it's 100%.
I just hope they for sure got him some stem cells.
And I would imagine, you know, he's an elite UFC world championship caliber athlete.
He's the world champ.
He just relinquished his title.
I mean, he's fighting for his title, essentially, right?
Because he didn't lose.
john rallo
He gave it up.
joe rogan
He got injured.
I bet he only gave it up because Uri gave it up, too.
john rallo
I mean, it's basic what he said when he gave it up.
din thomas
That's honorable, right?
john rallo
Said Uri got out of the way, I'm going to get out of the way, I'm not going to hold up.
din thomas
And that's why I like them guys, because what other division would do that?
I don't think anybody else would do that.
joe rogan
Well, those guys are warriors.
That is a warrior division.
Even Uri, who thought the fight was prematurely stopped, he wouldn't say it inside the octagon.
din thomas
Right, he was just like, yeah, I like that.
matt serra
I hate when guys are bitching right afterwards, or they start talking about the injuries they had and everything.
joe rogan
That one was a close one, though.
When you watch that one, you're like, ooh, you could have one or two more seconds.
john rallo
I thought he was a...
I mean...
Close, but I thought it was a fair stoppage, too.
joe rogan
Yes, I thought fair stoppage, too.
Same Dr. Aaron Rodgers had.
Oh, okay.
john rallo
Went to the right guy.
joe rogan
I bet Jamal got all the good stuff.
Yeah.
Well, that's good, then.
unidentified
Hopefully.
din thomas
He's going to need it.
joe rogan
Yeah, Aaron Rodgers, he was practicing quite a bit.
john rallo
It was like five months in already, out there throwing and shit.
joe rogan
He said his strength of the leg wasn't the same, his ability to push off it wasn't the same, but he said it was getting a lot better.
I just don't want Jamal to be compromised in any way in that fight.
It's such a big fight.
din thomas
Yeah, but like I said, man, his speed and his instincts and his vision, it's just different.
john rallo
And he's got that boxing punching set where he throws straight, where, you know, Pajeda's a little loopier.
joe rogan
Well, Pajeda does fight with his hands way low, too, and he kind of like lures guys into these slugfests because he's got such insane counterpower.
matt serra
His one loss, Jamal Hill, is from that fucking armlock triangle from Paul Craig.
That could happen to anybody.
joe rogan
Paul Craig has one of the most dangerous guards in any fucking division.
I love it.
unidentified
I love it.
Period.
joe rogan
Period.
Full stop.
din thomas
I know.
joe rogan
Remember he caught Ankalaya?
One second to go in the fight.
One second to go.
He catches him in a triangle.
din thomas
How does he got wins over Jamal Hill and Ankoliyev?
joe rogan
That's how good his guard is.
His guard is sensational.
His guard is what everybody's guard should strive to be.
din thomas
Exactly.
matt serra
That's what I love and it'll never go out of style no matter what happens with jiu-jitsu.
At my school I have everybody doing the latest fucking leg locks to this and that.
joe rogan
This is a horrible one because he broke his arm too.
unidentified
His arm is completely flopping around.
joe rogan
It's already broken by this point.
matt serra
He's still trying to fight, though.
That's the fucking...
joe rogan
Oh, Jamal's an animal.
matt serra
Look at this.
He's still not...
joe rogan
He's such a warrior, dude.
They stopped the fight.
He wasn't quitting.
din thomas
He's a beast.
joe rogan
His arm is fucked.
din thomas
He just looks at it.
joe rogan
Yeah.
matt serra
He's fucked, dude.
joe rogan
You remember what it looked like when it was going backwards?
It was horrific, man.
din thomas
Yeah, yeah.
joe rogan
It was horrific.
matt serra
I think he's winning the fight, to be honest with you.
I do.
And I like Alex.
joe rogan
Really?
matt serra
I swear, I think he's winning.
joe rogan
Listen, I think it's a very interesting fight.
john rallo
Dude, the odds are real close on it.
joe rogan
It should be.
I think it's a pick-em fight.
Me too.
I can see a bunch of scenarios going both ways.
john rallo
I think people underestimate Jamal.
joe rogan
The thing is, though, Jamal does...
Stand with like almost like a boxing stance sometimes.
I wonder how good he's gonna be of getting away from the calf kick.
That is such a primary weapon in Pajeras because he's so fucking sneaky with it.
And even though everybody knows that he's sneaky with it, it's still hard.
din thomas
You can't defend it.
The one thing about Jamal, he's smart though.
Jamal is a very intelligent fighter.
For a young guy, he's very cerebral and I think he understands that that might be a problem.
So he should have an answer for it early.
joe rogan
Yeah, you gotta have an answer for that.
He's got all these combinations that he sets up that are based on your reaction to certain movements.
And he repeats these patterns in fights and it's always surprising.
The way he's able to land those things is so surprising.
And he's just got this very specific strategy.
I'm gonna kill that leg.
And then you're fucked and I hit really hard and you're not gonna be able to get out of the way.
matt serra
Did you ever get hit with one of those calf kicks?
joe rogan
No.
matt serra
Me neither.
I'm happy I didn't know.
I'm happy that shit was out.
din thomas
I thought people play it.
joe rogan
Just play kick me?
And it hurts like hell.
din thomas
I did before they were a thing, and I think it was my fight against Josh Near.
joe rogan
He seemed like the dude who would use a calf kick.
But they weren't a thing.
din thomas
I think it was an accident, and he kicked me in a calf, and I swear I thought my leg was broke.
matt serra
Wow.
din thomas
I was like, I couldn't walk.
I thought my leg was broke.
joe rogan
Now, imagine Pajeda.
din thomas
Yeah, I know.
I don't know how to deal with that.
joe rogan
He fucked up Jan Bajovic's shit.
Jan Bajovic is literally made out of rocks.
That dude is made out of rocks!
I guarantee you, if they do some bone density, he's got some fucking Viking rock bones.
He's a beast.
That dude hits so goddamn hard.
din thomas
Hey, but what about the BMF? I'm interested in that too.
You're not really interested in that one?
joe rogan
I am interested in that.
You know why I'm interested in that?
Because people are counting Max out.
matt serra
I'm not.
din thomas
I think Max might win.
john rallo
Max is one of my favorites.
joe rogan
Max has had a lot of time to prepare.
Justin's a 230 favorite.
din thomas
I would not take that.
matt serra
Can I just say that they were basing a lot of that shit on his fight versus Dustin Poirier.
And if you hear Max talk about it, he had only six weeks to prepare for that thing.
And he was doing this for like 10 or so weeks.
And I don't know, man.
Max is an intelligent guy.
I was there, we were there live, when he fought Calvin Cater.
And he's looking away, I'm the best boxer!
And he moves his head and he fucking hits him.
din thomas
And you remember where Dana was doing?
Dana was like, somebody need to stop this.
Dana was like scared for Calvin Cater's life.
john rallo
He probably could have stopped.
joe rogan
He put a real beating on Calvin that takes a long time to recover from.
I mean, the amount of punches that he landed on Calvin were insane.
john rallo
My thing with the Dustin and Max fight was I thought Dustin just physically bullied him around the ring.
It looked like there was a strength advantage there, and I think that's going to be a problem.
If my perception's right, then that would be a problem because I think Justin's stronger and more of a bully, and his leg kicks, which Max never seems to check.
I think his leg kicks could present a problem.
That could be a real problem.
joe rogan
Because he had a problem with that with Volkanovski.
And the thing about Gaethje is Gaethje lands them in the clinch.
john rallo
He can be standing like...
joe rogan
It's insane.
din thomas
I know.
His distance for that...
joe rogan
His flexibility is insane.
It's insane.
john rallo
This was such a beating.
joe rogan
This was a beating, man.
matt serra
This was wild, man.
This is wild live because it was during the...
joe rogan
And Calvin Cater, I mean, he's a fucking dangerous dude.
He's got real good boxing.
And he just couldn't touch Max.
matt serra
I see a single for Aljo.
john rallo
I told you, old Binky Jones-type cater back in the day.
That was his first loss.
din thomas
Binky Jones?
john rallo
Yeah, one of my guys.
James Binky Jones.
joe rogan
One of the reasons why I'm interested in this is because I think Max is going to go into this fight with a tremendous amount of Anticipation.
This is not a fight that you don't get real scared about.
This is a fight you gotta really fucking prepare.
And when Max gets pushed, you see the best Max.
What is he, 33?
john rallo
He's one of my favorites.
unidentified
Yeah, he's young.
din thomas
Yeah, Max is not out of his prime.
john rallo
When he started, he was, what, 19?
joe rogan
We really kind of put aside when a guy loses the title that maybe they're not as good as they used to be.
But Max keeps getting better.
matt serra
Not to mention his nuts.
I mean, let's think about when he was going to fight Habib on 24 hours notice or whatever it was.
john rallo
He's one of my favorite guys, without a doubt.
One of my favorite fighters.
joe rogan
He's a beast, and he's a sweetheart of a guy.
Yeah, right?
The nicest guys.
din thomas
Yeah, no doubt.
joe rogan
The nicest guys.
And he talked openly about why guys like Conor, why those guys gas out.
Guys like Aldo.
He was like, they got too much power, man!
unidentified
And he's like, they don't have that kind of power!
matt serra
Did you see Roadhouse?
joe rogan
I did not see Roadhouse.
matt serra
Is it good?
I've seen Roadhouse.
joe rogan
On a 1 to 10, how high were you?
matt serra
Oh, you know.
unidentified
Compared to what?
matt serra
Like normally?
No, no.
It's fun.
It's like an 80s type movie.
It's a little silly in a way.
It's not too serious in a sense.
But it's fun.
I like Jake.
He's likable.
din thomas
Yeah, Jake carried the movie.
matt serra
And let me tell you, Connor, what an actor.
john rallo
He did himself.
matt serra
People are like, yo, what an actor.
He's going to take the Hollywood by storm.
He's playing himself, basically.
joe rogan
Couldn't he play himself in a bunch of movies?
I bet Guy Ritchie's on speed dial with him right now.
din thomas
I mean, but all he had was a lot of one-liners, so it's easy to deliver one-liners, right?
joe rogan
Conor McGregor could be a movie star.
din thomas
Easy.
matt serra
100%.
joe rogan
If The Rock can do it, you don't think Conor McGregor could do it?
din thomas
For sure.
He got the discipline to do it.
joe rogan
100% he could do it.
And he's a character, man.
matt serra
Look at him.
joe rogan
He's a fucking character, dude.
matt serra
I like the part in the movie when he takes the trolley and he throws it into the...
Oh, no, that's a different...
That happened in real life.
unidentified
He's a fucking...
din thomas
He's a fucking...
matt serra
Listen, I liked him in the movie, though.
He wasn't...
He didn't take you out of the movie.
john rallo
Yeah, I thought the movie was cool.
matt serra
You know?
joe rogan
Well, I will definitely watch it.
matt serra
It's like a fun...
joe rogan
It's not the original one to ten.
I'll get to about nine.
din thomas
Yeah, get to about nine...
It's a bit corny, but...
joe rogan
I like a corny movie.
din thomas
Yeah, if you like corny movies and just want to be entertained, it's the perfect movie.
joe rogan
I love the first Rhode Island.
john rallo
There was no Sam Elliott in this one.
joe rogan
Why didn't they have a Sam Elliott character?
matt serra
That's true.
joe rogan
Why wouldn't they have a Sam Elliott?
They should get that guy from Yellowstone.
That old dude with the mustache from Yellowstone, right?
What's that guy's name?
john rallo
He's a real cowboy.
joe rogan
Yeah, that's a real cowboy.
unidentified
No, not Rip, but Rip is too tough.
john rallo
The other dude, the older guy.
He looks like Sam Elliott.
joe rogan
Yeah, he would be perfect.
I have a Sam Elliott.
matt serra
I'm on the last season of Yellowstone.
john rallo
Tell me, man.
joe rogan
Why didn't they just get fucking actual Sam Elliott?
matt serra
I like Yellowstone.
Yeah, right?
joe rogan
Yeah, have Sam Elliott come.
Patrick Swayze's dead, but have actual Sam Elliott come back?
john rallo
Come on, mijo.
joe rogan
Who's a handsome fellow back then with that salt and pepper hair?
john rallo
He's a real Marlboro man.
For sure, son.
joe rogan
What a voice that guy's got.
This is such a dumb movie.
unidentified
It is.
john rallo
Dumb as shit.
joe rogan
It's so dumb.
john rallo
It's cult classic.
din thomas
It's so dumb, but it's great.
john rallo
It's like the Warriors.
Remember the old movie, the Warriors?
Warriors can come out and play.
matt serra
Yeah, my favorite was the baseball crew.
john rallo
Baseball furies.
matt serra
Listen, we talked about Star Wars a little bit.
Fuck Star Wars ever since...
What's that chick?
john rallo
Kathleen Kennedy.
matt serra
Yeah, I love the South Park thing.
Put a chicken in and make a gay and leave.
That's exactly what the fuck they're doing.
Cartman hit the nail on the head.
But fuck all that shit.
The new Star Wars.
Fuck all that.
And it's pre-Star Wars.
Did you see Dune and Dune Part 2?
john rallo
No.
matt serra
Man, you got it.
Joe...
Did you see it?
din thomas
I saw part one.
I fell asleep.
matt serra
You fucking idiot.
din thomas
I couldn't help it.
unidentified
I'm sorry.
din thomas
Wow.
That was kind of mean.
matt serra
Sometimes people get tired.
I get tired, man.
din thomas
I work all day.
matt serra
Listen to me.
Joe, these movies are so fucking good.
din thomas
Really?
joe rogan
Okay, I'm excited.
I see them.
matt serra
I'm telling you right now, Josh Brolin's, first of all, I don't think Josh, from Goonies to that, he's never in anything bad, Josh Brolin.
He's fucking awesome.
john rallo
Yeah, he's in that.
Momoa was in it.
matt serra
I like the, you know, he could do a couple push-ups, but I like the Timothy Chamele.
unidentified
Chamele?
din thomas
Yeah.
matt serra
No, he is.
He's in Wonka.
He's good.
But these movies are so good.
The director, he's a French guy.
He also did Blade Runner, the new Blade Runner, which is another very underrated movie.
These aren't underrated.
These are popular, but Blade Runner is underrated, the new one.
He's fucking awesome, man.
This guy, what's his name?
Yeah.
He's fucking phenomenal.
unidentified
Sicario.
But Dune 1 and Dune Part 2. Oh, he did Arrival, too.
matt serra
Dune, I'll tell you.
joe rogan
Did you see Arrival?
matt serra
Yeah, but I think I forgot about it.
joe rogan
Arrival's the one where the alien ships show up.
din thomas
Oh, yeah.
That was good.
joe rogan
They speak with weird...
matt serra
Oh, yeah, that's right.
joe rogan
Yeah, they show images.
It's fucking dope, dude.
matt serra
But Dune, the characters, the fucking...
It's so good.
john rallo
Yeah, I haven't seen the second one yet.
matt serra
And it's so funny.
In the first one, I don't want to give it away, but the guy he fights at the end of it is a guy I had a jujitsu match versus this Babs.
I swear to God!
I did a drop Sayanagi on him.
john rallo
Well, that was your move back in the day.
matt serra
Yeah, man!
If you put in Matt versus Babs, you see me throw the fucking guy.
He's actually great in the movie.
He's great in it.
He plays Jamis, part of the Freeman.
The Freeman.
The Freeman's on Arrakis, and they're on these desert planets, and these big giant worms.
din thomas
Such a nerd.
john rallo
Another nerd guy.
matt serra
Joe, you look like, when I say all this shit, you're looking at me like you want to unfriend me.
unidentified
No!
joe rogan
You're looking at me like this is a mistake.
I'm fascinated.
There he is!
din thomas
This dude?
matt serra
Yeah, he's good!
I went versus him in a jiu-jitsu match, and Minotaur was the ref.
Wow.
Was that at NAGA? Yeah, it's NAGA in 1996. If you put in Matt versus Babs, you don't have to.
I don't give a fuck.
It's not about me, but that guy.
joe rogan
Don't get the HD version.
din thomas
Get the HD version.
unidentified
Watch his throat.
john rallo
And don't share that video.
matt serra
But I was so happy when I seen him.
Well, first of all, look at those abs.
But yeah, I mean, you can fold it a little bit.
Yeah, you can fold it a little bit.
After I mount him and he gets up, this is back in the day, yo.
This is like a Minotauros the ref.
But yeah, you can fold it a tiny bit.
After I mount him and I get off mount.
But yeah, look at that.
This is old school.
But once I get off mount and he...
Right now you can pull it.
Right after I miss the armbar.
But now this is for Paul Atreides.
Sorry, if you know it, if you see the movie.
Ready?
joe rogan
Damn, you almost had that armbar.
matt serra
I did almost have that, but Henzo got happy for this because he worked on me with this fucking throw.
That's two points.
din thomas
Hey, what belt was this?
matt serra
This was when I was a brown belt and he was a purple.
Watch one more second because I do a nice back take.
unidentified
No, I want Joe to see it, because Joe likes Jiu Jitsu.
matt serra
Look, this was our team versus the Alliance team back in the day.
I said the same thing on Gomi, but it looks cool.
din thomas
Oh, yeah.
matt serra
Because what happens is, you go first, and it's almost like a second later for him to go, so it looks cool.
joe rogan
I love that one.
I love that back shake.
matt serra
Enough of me, I feel like a brat.
din thomas
That's a fun back tip.
matt serra
It's dramatic.
It's dramatic.
joe rogan
It's also kind of humbling.
Your feet are up in the air.
matt serra
Everybody's watching!
But back to the movies, you're gonna love these movies, man.
They're good.
They got good characters.
They're deep.
And the action is fucking good.
I mean, yeah.
joe rogan
I believe you.
unidentified
It's good.
matt serra
Give it a chance.
joe rogan
But I don't believe Timothee Chalamet has beaten this guy in anything other than checkers.
I need you to stop right there.
He needs to have some kind of superpower.
unidentified
I'm not buying none of what I was just seeing.
matt serra
You know how in Star Wars, like The Force and all that stuff, Dune by Frank Herbert.
Stop looking at me, John Rollins.
John Rollins like, I want to throw you in a locker.
unidentified
Shut up, Rollins.
matt serra
It's just not happening.
It's fucking not happening.
So listen, these books came out in the 70s, and George Lucas took a lot from this.
They used something called The Voice, that they control people instead of The Force and shit like that.
But very cool.
Josh Brolin for the win.
joe rogan
I gotta be honest, I like The Force a lot more than The Voice.
din thomas
Yeah.
unidentified
Well, you're thinking of The Voice with that synergy with you.
din thomas
You don't seem like a movie guy.
joe rogan
I like a few movies.
din thomas
But you seem like the type of guy that likes to be outside and hunting and catching shit with your hands.
Like a good old white boy just out there.
joe rogan
I like doing things.
If you spend too much time watching movies, it's like time you can't be actually doing actual things.
I think of it as a reward.
If I'm going to watch a movie, it's like, I busted my ass all week.
I can watch a movie.
matt serra
To kill boredom, my family went to Texas recently, Dallas, to go visit my sister-in-law, and I was by myself.
You know the deal, Joe.
When you have three kids and a wife, and you've got a routine, It's different when there's nobody home and shit.
So I'm like, I'm just sitting there.
There's only so much VR you can play.
You know what I mean?
So I go to the movies by yourself.
When you go to the movies by yourself in Long Island, it feels different than the city.
Yeah, you feel like a pervert.
unidentified
It's like some fucking creeper rubbing his dick in the middle of a Goonies movie.
matt serra
So I'm in there by myself watching Frozen.
unidentified
Let it go.
joe rogan
Let it go.
matt serra
Disney movies suck, man.
So I watched the fucking movie twice.
joe rogan
Wow.
din thomas
Dune twice by yourself?
matt serra
Three hour movies.
Don't say I don't have a life.
I have a nice life.
joe rogan
That's incredible.
matt serra
Listen, you know what I could do?
I could be out getting in trouble.
My VR! My nerdiness!
joe rogan
No bar fights.
Yeah, just VR. You're much better off doing what you're doing.
matt serra
I could have went another route.
My wife really...
And let me tell you, I didn't tell you this last time, Joe.
And he knows.
My wife, at 40 years old, had an MMA fight.
joe rogan
I saw it.
din thomas
I saw it online.
matt serra
It was fucking phenomenal, dude.
joe rogan
It was crazy.
I was like, what is Matt Sarah doing in his house?
john rallo
I know, right?
joe rogan
It's funny that at a later age, as a mother...
A husband of a guy who was a world champion decides to just start fighting?
Fuck it, let's go!
matt serra
You know, but she never threw a punch when I won the title.
She never threw a punch.
She was like Adrian.
john rallo
I said, it's like the opposite of her personality, man.
matt serra
It wasn't.
It's pretty crazy.
And then she'd do the kickboxing between each daughter to lose weight.
And then she took a kickboxing match under Lou Neglia, our buddy, who I used to fight on there, you know?
And she was...
Didn't she become three?
This is my wife's fight!
Look at this!
This is me and her before.
din thomas
Is that you with the blue shirt?
matt serra
You're a son of a bitch!
That was a...
unidentified
That's the old man.
That's awesome.
You know what?
matt serra
Before gluten-free, that wasn't it.
That's when Dana used to say, oh, it looks like you ate Matzara, you fuck.
But yeah, that was me.
But I was so proud of her, man.
joe rogan
That's amazing.
matt serra
She got out of the cage.
Longo's the one who greeted her at the fucking thing.
Because, I mean, look, she's fighting a purple belt from Virginia here.
And again, she never did any kind of sports in high school.
I mean, if you see her standing up, she's like doing a fucking clinic, man.
She snaps down, she takes the back, and you know, she's a blue belt, she fought a purple belt, it was always that last, that chance of the girl...
You know, doing something.
And you never know how these things go.
So she's one and done.
I'm happy she's done with it.
joe rogan
She did it.
unidentified
That's awesome.
matt serra
It's nice for my daughters to see.
joe rogan
Yeah.
matt serra
And now I'm saving myself from all the shit I said earlier about the fucking girls with the fucking...
No, I'm only kidding.
No, my wife...
No, I'm just really proud of her.
It was really nice.
joe rogan
It was cool.
That's amazing.
What a crazy aspiration at that age just to decide, fuck it.
matt serra
Yeah.
It's fucking crazy.
din thomas
But I saw clips of your daughter helping her train.
What a cool environment to be in.
john rallo
The whole setup with the school and all.
His family's part of it now.
And it happened naturally.
matt serra
Organically.
john rallo
Yeah, he didn't drag them in and say, I'll do this.
His girls were dancing and shit.
matt serra
My oldest just left dance to pursue it full time.
And now she's got a jujitsu max next month at the same place with my wife for it.
It's cool.
And she's on the Lou Negley having an event.
unidentified
Nice.
matt serra
It's cool.
And again, what I found with having a kid is you can't make them love it, but you can make them hate it.
I never tried to be like...
I used to always just play with them, play with them, but now they're living at the school.
It's so cool.
john rallo
That's awesome.
matt serra
Family business, you know?
Do you have any new kids lately?
unidentified
No.
din thomas
Ah, no kids for me.
I got one.
matt serra
Yeah, he's doing good though.
din thomas
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
College kid.
Shout out, Ethan.
joe rogan
So what are the other interesting fights on 300?
john rallo
Pull that shit up.
joe rogan
BMF. You get the BMF fight.
You got Zhang Wei Li versus Yan Xiaonan.
That should be what?
Zhang Wei Li is a monster.
din thomas
Every time I'm at the PI, she's always there.
She's never not training when I'm there.
joe rogan
This is the dark horse.
Oliveira and Saryukian.
matt serra
Let's talk about that.
What do you think about that?
joe rogan
That Saryukian dude is a dangerous motherfucker, but so is Oliveira.
Oliveira is the wildest turnaround of any fighter of all time.
At one point in time, he would fall short a lot.
din thomas
He taps the strikes to Paul Felder, and then comes back and just knocks everybody out.
joe rogan
And just annihilates everyone.
And has no fear.
A different human being was reborn inside of his body.
matt serra
Because he was known, not known for it, but he was known to be able to break.
If that's in him, it stays in him.
It hasn't been in him for a while.
joe rogan
He's been smashing everybody.
He smashed Gaethje.
Did he fight Gaethje?
Yes.
He beat Gaethje.
Who else did he beat?
john rallo
Chandler.
joe rogan
Chandler.
That Chandler one was crazy, too, because he got hurt real bad in the first round.
It's just also the power that he has is very unusual.
He loses to Makachev.
That's right, he beat Poirier.
I mean, come on, son.
Beat Chandler, Poirier, and Gaethje in a row.
I mean, that's wild.
matt serra
I fell for Benio on that fight, man, because Benio was doing so...
Like, Benio wasn't afraid to face him down there.
A lot of guys are afraid to go down there with him to the floor.
unidentified
Yeah.
matt serra
And, you know, rightfully so, because I just watched recently his fight with Kevin Lee again.
joe rogan
Yeah.
matt serra
And Kevin Lee thought he'd be okay down there, and fuck, man, you're fighting to get out of an arm, he's on your neck, out of the neck, he's on your leg.
joe rogan
That was the one when Kevin didn't realize he went out.
matt serra
Oh, right.
joe rogan
And he tapped.
He didn't realize he tapped.
matt serra
I'm feeling...
I think...
I think he will take him down and I wonder how that's going to go.
john rallo
That's what I'm waiting to see.
joe rogan
Very interesting fight.
john rallo
If Charles is able to get on top of him like Gamrot was able to control him on the ground.
But then look what he just did to Dariush.
joe rogan
Look what Armand just did to Benil.
john rallo
Charles kind of whacked Benil too in the first round.
joe rogan
He did too.
Yeah, that's an interesting fight.
Isn't it crazy that you got Bo Nickel, who's only had how many MMA fights?
din thomas
Four?
Five?
joe rogan
And he's on the main card.
din thomas
I mean, here's my thing with him, man.
I think he's going to be great.
I think he's going to be a great fighter.
joe rogan
For sure.
din thomas
I don't like how he talks about already accomplished fighters who've been through it.
matt serra
What does he say?
din thomas
Like, I mean, he's always talking about, oh, me and Kamzat will be an easy fight, and this, that, and the third.
I'm like, yo, dude, like, you got four fights, and you got help with those fights.
john rallo
And we haven't seen you get stuck on your feet.
din thomas
I mean, yeah, I mean, but the thing is, like, even his opponents, like, you know, Jamie Pickett, like, even Cody Brunches, Cody Brunches is known to fold in fights.
Like, he's fighting guys that are folding.
unidentified
Right.
matt serra
Yeah, well, maybe they see a future champion.
din thomas
I get it, but what I'm saying is...
john rallo
I think they're trying to bring him along.
din thomas
I mean, you could bring him along, but if you're in that position, don't talk about guys that had to go through it.
john rallo
I hear you.
joe rogan
But isn't it interesting that some fighters, they decide to bring along?
din thomas
Yeah.
john rallo
And others are victims that are success.
joe rogan
Look what's on the undercard.
Oh, Holly Holm.
Calvin, look at this.
This is the undercard.
Prohaska versus Ray Cage.
matt serra
That's wild as it is.
joe rogan
Wild.
Wild fight.
Calvin Cater and Aljo.
Holly Holm and Kayla Harrison.
matt serra
Let's talk about that.
What do you think of that?
joe rogan
I don't know.
Can she make the weight?
john rallo
I like Holly.
matt serra
What was she fighting at?
din thomas
155. There's no way she doesn't make the way she's a complete professional, but how she performs is going to be tough.
joe rogan
I just think Diego Lopez, bro.
din thomas
That dude is a killer.
joe rogan
He's a killer.
That's a future world champion caliber fighter.
din thomas
No doubt about that.
joe rogan
He's a straight-up killer.
john rallo
He's fought for me back in the day on Shogun.
joe rogan
Excellent.
That's a good fight.
Jalen Turner and Hanato Mocano.
Look at all these other fights that aren't on the main card.
matt serra
Jim Miller!
Listen to Jim Miller!
joe rogan
Jim Miller on UFC 300, right?
Davison Figueredo with Cody Garbrandt, that opens up the fights.
din thomas
That's crazy to think about, right?
That is the craziest card of all time.
joe rogan
That is the craziest card of all time in human history.
john rallo
I was shocked when I saw that was the first prelim fight.
joe rogan
This fucking card is bananas, man.
Scroll up a little bit more, Jamie.
That is wild, dude.
That is a wild undercard.
You think Holly's going to be able to deal with that grappling and the physical strength?
Kayla is a monster.
john rallo
I mean, we already saw her do it with Rhonda, not that she's big.
I think Ronda's a better grappler than Kayla on the ground, transitioning to submissions and things.
I just watched Kayla fight Aspen Ladd and look like dog shit, personally.
That's one of my guys on the PFL card, and she struggled.
She got swept against that girl and stuff, so I don't think Holly can grapple with her for sure.
But I don't think Holly's going to be so easy to take down because she requires the clinch to get her down.
And Holly's a big, strong chick.
I mean, I know she's 42 now, so maybe the age becomes a factor.
But if she can just keep range, she's going to win on her feet.
So I mean, I have to see Kayla take her down.
I just don't think it's going to be so easy.
joe rogan
And if Holly doesn't feel a threat on her feet, Holly might start lighting her up.
john rallo
You know what I mean?
matt serra
I've seen Kayla fight...
I don't know who the girl was, but I don't think she...
john rallo
The Brazilian girl shot her down.
matt serra
That's what I'm saying.
A Brazilian, that's who it was.
She didn't do shit with her.
On the floor, she didn't do shit with her.
joe rogan
Yeah.
matt serra
And right here, she's fighting a soccer mom.
joe rogan
If you back up before that...
matt serra
Oh, it's Aspen Ladd?
I'm sorry, Aspen Ladd.
unidentified
I didn't know it was Aspen Ladd.
matt serra
I'm sorry, I didn't know it was Aspen Ladd.
joe rogan
But if you look at the way she's throwing punches on her feet...
matt serra
She took a German Shepherd's Army.
john rallo
It's not good.
joe rogan
She's not a striker.
She wants this.
But in these grappling exchanges, she's going to be a fucking handful.
john rallo
But we don't know how to wait.
din thomas
It's going to affect her.
joe rogan
Well, if she did it right, it might actually help.
You know, probably help her gas tank tremendously.
john rallo
Like, in this fight, she never put her in danger.
Never put her in danger.
joe rogan
It really just depends on how much muscle she loses, you know?
And how much strength training she continues to do.
Like, you don't get that big without a lot of strength training.
john rallo
You know, Holly's got a lot of experience.
joe rogan
I mean, a lot of it is, of course, judo, right?
A lot of the throwing around.
matt serra
Bigger arms than Rollo.
joe rogan
She's a tank.
But that comes at a requirement.
There's a lot of oxygen to get sucked up by those.
That's what's interesting when you watch guys that get older and they get more economical, like Yoel.
Got way more economical about how and when to move, but put guys to sleep because they forgot that he could just explode on you at any moment.
Like the Wyman, the flying knee.
He would just jump on dudes and you didn't expect it coming.
din thomas
He would chill and just sit back, sit back, sit back.
joe rogan
And be so relaxed!
matt serra
I love you!
din thomas
I love you!
matt serra
That's funny.
Not to bring that up, but they really fucked Tim Kennedy back in the day for that.
Tim Kennedy won that.
That was fucked up.
joe rogan
That was crazy.
matt serra
That was fucked up.
joe rogan
That was crazy.
There was like an extra...
How many seconds?
din thomas
My man was on that.
joe rogan
39 seconds?
unidentified
He stayed on that stool for like a whole round.
joe rogan
Tim had him.
Tim had him.
matt serra
That's a...
joe rogan
And then there's the mental break that comes from thinking that you won, because the guy's not getting off the stool, and then you gotta fight again.
din thomas
Oh, yeah, yeah.
joe rogan
And then Yoel caught him.
And the thing about Yoel is he can catch anybody.
john rallo
Yeah, definitely.
joe rogan
He can catch anybody.
Remember when he caught Machida?
unidentified
Whoosh!
joe rogan
The Machida knockout was terrifying.
unidentified
Oh, yeah, yeah.
john rallo
Like a superhero.
joe rogan
Bro, it's like everybody else is a child.
Yeah, when he gets going.
Yeah, everybody else is like a child.
Is this the end of the fight?
matt serra
I wanted to see when Tim was winning.
joe rogan
Come on, man.
matt serra
This is some bullshit.
joe rogan
So this is it right here.
So Tim can actually...
He's got him hurt there.
Boom.
He's got him hurt.
Bad.
And then the bell rings.
So he goes back.
I mean, Yoel's on the verge of going out.
Like, look, he goes back, but they gave him all this extra time.
The round was supposed to start.
He's still sitting on the stool.
john rallo
What is Big John doing?
joe rogan
They covered him with water or ice, and they have too much Vaseline on his face.
There's a bunch of different things, and he just laid there.
But then he eventually caught Tim.
matt serra
That's rough, man.
Man, that's some bullshit.
joe rogan
Well, it sucks.
That's for sure.
It sucks for Tim.
Because in all fairness, I think when the bell starts, if you're not willing or able to get up...
din thomas
That should be it.
Yeah, no doubt about that.
joe rogan
If you're not able to answer the bell...
But I think there was something else going on.
He was covered in something.
They had to wipe him off.
There was some shenanigans.
din thomas
And there was ice on the ground, too.
joe rogan
I think they did all that shit on purpose.
All that shit on purpose.
Old school shit.
Angelo did that.
Angelo Dundee did that with Muhammad Ali back when he was Cassius Clay.
And he fought this dude in London.
No, he fought this...
I don't know if it was in London.
It was Henry Cooper.
Henry Cooper was this badass British dude who had a nasty left hook.
And he caught Cassius Clay with a perfect left hook.
Just bang!
Dropped him.
And it was at the end of the round.
And they cut his gloves in between rounds.
They had to give him new gloves.
They gave him plenty of time.
So this was after the fight.
They're yelling at each other.
Well, Tim was yelling at him.
unidentified
King!
What the f***?
That's good.
If you can't get off the stool, if you can't get off the stool, that's the end of the fight.
You can't stand there for another minute.
You can't stand there for another minute.
john rallo
Laborio is such a nice guy, too.
joe rogan
He's right, though.
He's right.
john rallo
He's 100% right.
joe rogan
He's right.
But I think, like I said, I think there's a bunch of shenanigans that are involved.
I think there's too much Vaseline on him.
I think there was water all over him.
But there's a bunch of shit where they did a bunch of things to make sure that the round got extended.
How is the dirty business?
matt serra
Speaking of dirty business, now that you saw this gone, how is this new testing thing?
joe rogan
Well, Walt Harris just got popped, right?
matt serra
Yeah, four years.
din thomas
That's a death sentence right there.
john rallo
Yeah, you're done.
joe rogan
Yeah, Walt's already 40. Yeah, that's it.
And he got popped, allegedly, I should say, from what the report was that I read on one of the websites.
It was like three different things, three different times.
matt serra
Yo, when you're 40, shit doesn't work so good.
din thomas
Right, you kind of need it.
joe rogan
Yeah, it's kind of weird.
Like, we know this stuff really works, but you're not allowed to use it.
48 months sanction for two separate violations of the UFC anti-doping policy.
First tested positive.
What is that?
Tell me what that is.
No, Rollo.
Rollo knows what it is.
john rallo
Where is it?
joe rogan
Draw standalone.
What is that?
john rallo
Fuck all you guys.
joe rogan
I just think you're good at those words.
Metabolite 3A, hydroxy 2A, methyl 5A, androstan 17-on, and testosterone of exogenous origin.
And samples collected on June 24, 2023, July 12, 2023. Harris was notified of the first adverse finding on July 11th of 2020. So they told him that he got popped the first time and then he tested positive the next day.
john rallo
Yeah.
joe rogan
Subsequently, after he was notified of the adverse finding, he provided urine and blood samples on August 6, 2023. Urine samples tested positive for the presence of anastrozolone, a prohibitive substance that was not present in any of the previous samples, as well as drostanolone and its metabolite.
His blood samples tested positive for the presence of exogenous testosterone.
Which based on its values was determined as a new administration since the notification of his first adverse findings on July 11th.
So I wasn't taking the test that day.
Wow.
john rallo
Four years, that's a life sentence.
matt serra
And how old is he now?
jamie vernon
40. He was supposed to fight like four days after that.
joe rogan
It seems kind of crazy that he would just take all that stuff knowing that they were going to catch him.
john rallo
Have you ever asked Nowitzki why they made BPC-157 illegal?
Like, it's not a performance enhancer.
joe rogan
Because some state regulators, like, you know, athletic commissions, they have it illegal.
john rallo
Ah, alright, alright.
joe rogan
So if the UFC allows something that the athletic commissions don't allow, it really should be allowed by the athletic commissions.
john rallo
100%.
joe rogan
It's all it's doing is helping people heal from injuries.
That's all it is?
john rallo
So it's that the states are...
joe rogan
And it's a naturally occurring compound in the human body.
john rallo
It's an amino acid.
joe rogan
Yeah.
So it's something that should be legal, and I think the FDA is trying to stop its use now, too, which is crazy.
john rallo
Of course.
Anything that works.
din thomas
Yeah, right.
joe rogan
Well, listen, you fuckheads, just sell it to us.
Just fucking sell it.
Don't be stupid.
There's a lot of money to be made.
I'll help you.
Just fucking make it legal and sell it.
It's good.
It's really good for injuries.
Really good for injuries, man.
Yeah, there's a bunch of stuff like that that should be legal.
The testosterone one, those boys went wild, and they fucked it up for everybody.
The TRT Vitor era.
din thomas
Oh, yeah!
Those boys went wild!
joe rogan
Those boys went wild.
When you just take testosterone replacement, everybody's like, oh, I definitely have low testosterone.
Hook it up.
john rallo
Eric Silva, he was another one that really noticeably changed.
joe rogan
Oh, a lot of dudes did.
Bro, we had guys that were 25 years old that were signing up for testosterone use exemptions.
matt serra
That's gonna fuck them up when they're older though, no?
joe rogan
100%, but that was the thing.
A lot of those guys were already fucked up, because they did juice.
So if you're a young guy and you do like a bunch of cycles of juice and you get Gigantor, that is gonna jack up your system.
It takes a long time to recover.
din thomas
Damn.
joe rogan
Yeah, so there's dudes that are like 25 years old that have wrecked their endocrine system, and they probably can't have kids.
matt serra
Really?
joe rogan
Yeah.
Yeah, they have low sperm count.
Yeah, it can fuck you up.
When you see these social media kids that are like 18, 19 years old, and then all of a sudden when they're 22, they've gained 80 pounds of muscle, and they have zits all over their back, and they're fucking huge, and they're getting all this attention because they're massive.
And there's quite a few of these kids.
They're gonna ruin their body.
They're gonna ruin their endocrine system.
You're shocking your system at a very, very young age.
matt serra
When you're on TRT, it's like fucking birth control for men.
I have been pulled out in years, son!
And I was able to...
I was able to...
I could have a kid.
When I want to have a kid, I don't know if it's because I go Commando forever, I'd have a kid.
My wife, I want to get pregnant.
I'm like, all right.
joe rogan
It worked.
matt serra
So I know we were good to go, but ever since I'm on TRT... Isn't it funny?
joe rogan
Because the other idea for male birth control is the opposite.
There's a male birth control pill that came out that radically lowers testosterone levels.
matt serra
Oh, fuck that.
joe rogan
But how many...
din thomas
Hold on, why would you take that?
joe rogan
How many...
unidentified
How many dominant women...
joe rogan
Who have cucked men are going to force them to take that stuff.
john rallo
Slipping that shit in their oatmeal.
joe rogan
No, no, no.
Force them.
Force them to take it.
john rallo
Force them.
None of that.
din thomas
Why would anybody take that?
matt serra
Because they don't want that as the wife.
They want the alpha.
joe rogan
Yeah, but they want to do that to the guy.
Some women like doing that.
They like doing that.
matt serra
To curb them?
joe rogan
Yeah.
They'll turn you trans.
They'll do whatever they want to you.
They'll drain your bank account.
Leave you broken.
Bye!
john rallo
Turn your trends.
unidentified
Screw that.
joe rogan
Yeah, they'll make you.
It's just as there's certain people.
john rallo
It's like your Kardashian skit.
joe rogan
Yeah, you gotta wonder, man.
Trying to be like a young kid in this day and age with social media, trying to be an 18, 19-year-old kid trying to fan your way through life, seeing these juiced-up, gigantic dudes getting attention, and girls with lip fillers at 18 years old, and everybody's got a Ferrari.
din thomas
I think it's harder for them than it was for us, right?
Because of social media?
joe rogan
Way harder.
It's way harder because there's so much...
Chaos out there, like the guy getting shot in the dick.
You see things all the time that was really hard to see when we were kids.
din thomas
Because I only knew motherfuckers in my neighborhood.
joe rogan
They got shot in the dick?
unidentified
No, no, no.
joe rogan
I'm talking about just in general.
din thomas
You only hung out with people in your neighborhood.
That was it.
joe rogan
And if you saw someone on TV that was like in a MTV music video or something like that, like that, okay.
But that's not even real world.
unidentified
Right.
joe rogan
That's not the real world.
Right.
But if it's like some guy you know from your school now has a million followers on TikTok, like what?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
You made $100,000.
What the fuck are you talking about?
john rallo
How?
joe rogan
What are you doing?
matt serra
I don't know, man.
Maybe because I got my kids homeschooled ever since the pandemic because we didn't want them wearing masks and all that shit.
My wife's lucky enough that, you know, we're lucky enough she gets to be a stay-at-home mom and whatnot.
Oh, I got ADD. What were we just...
joe rogan
Kids shooting people in the dicks.
People being able to see things that they never could see when we were kids.
john rallo
And your kids are homeschooled.
matt serra
Oh, yeah, this is what...
Sorry, I'm back.
It was...
The Zin's kicking in.
It was...
You know, we keep them close.
Like, nowadays, if they go to school all day, one, What the fuck are they telling these kids?
It's weird enough.
My friend's kid came home the other day and he's like, oh man, he's 10 years old.
He's like, oh dad, so when I grow up I could be a boy or a girl?
It's fucking...
My buddy's like a religious guy.
He's like, ah, fuck!
The guy moved to South Carolina.
He got the fuck out of New Long Island.
So I don't know where it is in different school systems, but I didn't like stuff like that.
It's not like when we were kids at school.
joe rogan
That stuff is so weird.
matt serra
It's fucking strange.
joe rogan
But it just shows you that whatever is socially popular, people will gravitate to and that people will change their behavior based on what gets them more attention.
matt serra
That's why I'm saying like...
joe rogan
Some of them are definitely trans.
Let's be...
That shit's existed since the beginning of time.
Men who feel like they were born in a woman's body.
But some of them are getting sucked into a social contagion.
unidentified
The majority of them.
matt serra
They think it's cool to be bi.
What are you?
Dude, it's just fucking weird.
joe rogan
If you want street cred, you've got to suck a dick.
Whether it's a transgender dick or a regular dick, you've got to experiment and suck a dick if you want some street cred.
din thomas
No, I don't want a street cred.
No street cred to me.
joe rogan
That's what I think.
Today, they've gone to places where 50% of the kids identify as LGBTQA. 50%!
din thomas
Really?
joe rogan
50%?
john rallo
That's a joke.
If they're not being indoctrinated, then this never happens.
joe rogan
Well, it's just fascinating that it's working.
That's what's fascinating.
And when you look at the people, like, look, if you're going to pay someone 35 grand a year to take care of your kids, they're not going to be good people that are like dominant in their field and really on the ball.
You're going to get wacky people teaching kids.
And a lot of these people that are teaching kids in public schools that you see making these TikTok videos, they're wacky people that just happen to be in the position where they're running a school.
matt serra
As a parent, though, I think you should just keep them close and just talk to them every day.
joe rogan
Yeah, you definitely need to talk to them, but, you know, they're gonna have to talk to other people, too.
And there's something about, like, running into really cuckoo people when you're young that's probably good for you, just so you know that they exist.
The problem is if they have too much influence over your kid and your kid starts believing things that they're saying and they indoctrinate you into some weird way of thinking that maybe you don't align with in your home and you don't want your child being raised that way, which is your prerogative as a person.
But also the kids should be exposed to a lot of weird shit.
It's good for them to see kooky people.
din thomas
I think that's where me and Matt have a benefit because we're the kooky people that our kids see.
joe rogan
Yeah, we all are, right?
There's no way to avoid that.
unidentified
If you're interested in what we're interested in.
din thomas
That's true, right?
joe rogan
I always preface things when people ask me my opinions.
I'm like, listen, I'm a dirty comedian and a cage fighting commentator.
With that said, this is my dumbass perspective.
But understand who the fuck you're talking to.
Loosely educated at best.
din thomas
Think about that.
Dirty comedian and you commentate fights.
Yeah, that's a perspective to...
joe rogan
Yeah, that's a person of questionable judgment.
Highly unnormal.
matt serra
Communication's everything, though.
I don't remember my parents talking to me.
My kid's 15 now.
Dude, when I was 15, I'm sleeping over Jimmy's house.
I'd be walking the fucking streets, fighting and doing stuff.
I'm 15!
I can't think of it, my kid.
I never not know where she is.
joe rogan
I think it was a different time, Matt.
And I think their parents raised them in a different way.
It takes a while to understand why your parents raised you the way they raised you.
But it's because the way they were raised.
Look, my grandparents were straight up immigrants from Italy and from Ireland.
They're all people from the boat.
And those were wild people.
Those people that took a chance and got on that fucking boat and made it across the ocean.
Yeah, a bunch of wild people.
And they didn't have a whole lot of time for parenting.
You know, and then their kids grew up and had kids and then their kids had kids.
It's like it takes a while for everybody to settle down.
I think people are...
We have way more information today than ever before, which is probably good for kids.
It's good to be aware of all the different types of humans and all the different possibilities of good and bad things that can happen in the world.
But also, it's got to be overwhelming, man.
It's got to be overwhelming to be a kid and to think you've got to worry about climate change and Ukraine and Russia and fucking Mexicans.
It's just every day it's something new.
john rallo
That's the thing.
The phone puts it in their face all day every day.
joe rogan
Every day it's something new.
john rallo
We didn't have any of that shit.
unidentified
Biden falling down the flight stairs, Trump calling somebody a pussy.
It's every day.
din thomas
It's like this is crazy.
Yeah, life is fun now.
joe rogan
It is definitely fun if you're an adult.
If you're an adult and you're not being affected negatively by it.
din thomas
Well, because we, like you said, we come up from a different generation where we didn't grow up doing that.
joe rogan
Right.
din thomas
So we can live without it.
joe rogan
We're also, all of us are in wild businesses.
din thomas
Yeah.
joe rogan
This is a wild business.
You're in the business of people beating the shit out of each other.
You know, this is a wild business.
It's a wild business.
matt serra
It's funny that it is where it is now.
Like, I remember coming up, we were talking about before being OGs, like, I remember each fight thinking, alright, this might be the last one, and it's gonna be done.
You know what I mean?
So now it's just such a mainstream thing.
din thomas
It's crazy.
joe rogan
I remember very clearly Eddie Bravo and I were having a conversation, and it's almost like we manifested this.
We said, dude, we know MMA is awesome.
Wouldn't it be crazy if just some fucking billionaire dudes who were fans of the sport just dumped a bunch of money in it just to show everybody, and then it would just catch on.
I was like, if somebody just came along, that would work, man.
That's the only way it would work.
Somebody would have to lose tons and tons of money just to get it out there.
And that's what they did.
It's literally like it was manifested.
matt serra
Lorenzo and Frank Fatida.
It's amazing.
And they just really loved it.
joe rogan
They loved it.
They trained.
They were tough guys.
They loved it.
john rallo
They lost like 50, 60 million before they made money.
That's how much they loved it.
joe rogan
They were down more than 40 million when the first Ultimate Fighter came around.
And they funded that whole thing.
They funded the whole thing.
They just rolled the dice and came up double six.
john rallo
For real?
din thomas
Yeah, when you think about the chain of events that had to have to happen.
That made it.
The Fertittas, then the Forrest fight, and then just everything that happened.
joe rogan
And you have to have a guy like Dana.
You have to have a complete maniac running the show.
You have to have a guy like that.
din thomas
People don't understand how much of a maniac he is.
Like in cycle in terms of like his work ethic.
joe rogan
Oh, he's a maniac.
john rallo
I mean, that's pretty obvious.
joe rogan
The guy works constantly.
He loves it.
He loves setting fights up.
We'll talk at two o'clock in the morning for like hours just about match-ups and shit.
matt serra
Did you see the other day on the podcast when the girls...
She's interviewing them, right?
And she's like, tell me, what does Joe Rogan think of whatever it was?
And he's like, what does Joe Rogan think?
She goes, Dana White.
He goes, wait, you think I'm Joe Rogan?
He goes, I came in through this podcast.
You know that UFC events, like the weeks of the events or when I'm doing a looking for a fight.
You've been there.
din thomas
Oh, man.
matt serra
I have a picture of this and that.
I'm like, oh, well.
All right.
And, you know, thanks a lot, Mr. Waido.
joe rogan
Thanks a lot.
unidentified
They always think he's either Joe or Dana.
joe rogan
People call me Dana.
I've been called Dana before, so I'm doing, it's all Dana!
I go, no, I'm the other dude.
john rallo
What the hell is this?
joe rogan
It happens all the time.
But I think she just made a mental fluff.
john rallo
Are they trying to say all bald white guys look alike?
joe rogan
When you're doing a podcast and you're interviewing someone, especially if you haven't done a lot of them and it's like a high profile thing, you're doing Dana White, you're always thinking of what to say.
Even the question is like, what's your dream?
That's a crazy question.
That's like, I don't know what to ask you.
din thomas
What's your dream?
joe rogan
So she's probably floundering a little bit there and doesn't know what to say.
It's fucking weird having a conversation with someone live.
din thomas
But I think he handled it the right way, right?
By making fun of it.
joe rogan
Yeah, and she handled it the right way, too.
She kept it in there.
din thomas
She edited it out.
joe rogan
It's funny.
matt serra
It is funny.
joe rogan
It's just a flub.
I've done it all the time.
It happens.
matt serra
People fucked up.
It wouldn't have been funny if they called fucking Dean Thomas Pete Spratt or something.
din thomas
That would be fucking racist.
matt serra
I wouldn't laugh at that shit.
joe rogan
Somebody called you Pete Spratt?
din thomas
No, no, they used to always do that.
joe rogan
Oh, just for fun.
din thomas
Yeah, just for fun.
joe rogan
Just for fun.
matt serra
How about the fuck I took a picture where you thought you were Eve Edwards?
din thomas
Don't say that was just for fun.
Or the one time on Looking for a Fight, Habib really thought I was Eve.
unidentified
He was like, you knocked out my teammate.
din thomas
I'm like, what are you talking about?
He's like, Josh Thompson.
I was like, no, man, that was Eve.
matt serra
That's what it was.
joe rogan
Isn't it wild how Khabib just said, nope, done.
See ya.
Bye.
Promise my mom, I'm done.
din thomas
I mean, when you're that good, and your life is...
joe rogan
Pretty incredible, though.
What a legacy, right?
Undefeated.
Only one fight was kind of close.
The Gleason-Tebow fight.
Go back and watch that one.
din thomas
I thought Gleason might have won that one.
joe rogan
It was arguable.
If they gave it to him, nobody would protest.
It was close.
unidentified
Pre-USADA. Pre-USADA. That's true.
joe rogan
My man, Gleason, was built like a fucking superhero.
matt serra
Like a fucking Teletubby on steroids.
joe rogan
That was those Sean Shirk days, son.
din thomas
Yeah.
john rallo
The muscle shark.
The muscle shark.
joe rogan
Remember Shirk?
Shirk was a little fucking demon.
john rallo
He was a little fireplug.
joe rogan
Demon.
Shirk was one of the first guys that had preposterous strength and conditioning.
din thomas
Yeah, yeah.
joe rogan
His strength and conditioning.
Him and Rich Franklin.
They would do these strength.
din thomas
Look at Glaeson.
matt serra
He's a Brazilian hero.
joe rogan
Look at his biceps.
Jesus Christ.
The thing about Glaeson that always used to freak me out was the fact that he could make 155. I know.
I was like, how?
Because I would stand next to him.
I'm like, how are you?
You're so much bigger than me.
How the fuck are you 155?
It doesn't make any sense.
matt serra
And Glaeson got him down in this one, didn't he?
din thomas
A couple times.
joe rogan
Glaeson, he hurt him on the feet.
Glaeson was a dangerous fighter, man.
matt serra
Whatever happened to Glaeson?
joe rogan
Well, you know, he got older, had a lot of wars, you know.
Didn't Islam KO him?
din thomas
Islam KO'd him, yeah.
joe rogan
Yeah, Islam KO'd him bad.
It was a bad one.
He's had a few KO losses.
He's a tough dude, though.
unidentified
Yeah, and he fought, I think, a few times in PFL or something.
joe rogan
But they're going to war.
unidentified
Wow.
joe rogan
Gleason was a house, though.
matt serra
The thing is, Khabib looks natural and he looks fucking...
joe rogan
But look, he can't take Gleason down, which is crazy.
That's how strong Gleason was.
matt serra
Yeah.
joe rogan
I mean, Khabib takes everybody down.
But Khabib looks smaller then.
din thomas
Yeah, he does, doesn't he?
joe rogan
Physically?
din thomas
No doubt about it.
joe rogan
He's much smaller.
You look at him and now look at him against Conor.
Let's just look at this right now.
Pause this.
Now go to Khabib versus Conor.
matt serra
How old was he here?
din thomas
He looks young.
joe rogan
Well, he's young, one of the first fights in the UFC, but made a marked improvement in that department.
Because he looked way stronger later in his career.
Like when he fought Gaethje, he looked way stronger.
din thomas
Yeah.
joe rogan
Way stronger.
matt serra
Developed that man strength.
joe rogan
Yeah.
unidentified
Six years later, too.
matt serra
Six years later, that's a big thing.
joe rogan
Yeah, look at him there.
unidentified
Come on, bro.
joe rogan
That's a different dude.
Look at the difference, man.
matt serra
Oh, 100%.
joe rogan
Go back to that picture again.
Yeah, he's all smooth here.
Now go to another one.
The other one that you just showed me.
Look at him, bro.
matt serra
That's that man's strength there.
joe rogan
That's also I want to kill you motivation.
unidentified
Yeah, it is.
joe rogan
I mean, he got in fucking shape for Conor.
When he's standing on top of him, punching him, let's talk now.
din thomas
Let's talk now.
You know what?
I was surprised Conor didn't quit at that moment because he was getting his ass whooped.
joe rogan
I don't think Conor's ever going to do that.
matt serra
Well, Conor did say to him, you know, it's just business or something.
And then he said something like, no, I didn't say that.
joe rogan
He definitely did.
matt serra
He gets a lot of fucking...
joe rogan
He was probably a little rattled.
I mean, it wasn't going his way.
He did win a round, but it seemed like it was a round that Khabib took off.
din thomas
Yeah.
joe rogan
Khabib kind of coasted for a round and then got back on him again.
Khabib just knew how to wear you out, man.
That thousand-yard stare that dudes would have when he'd grab ahold of him.
Look, Edson Barboza, that's the best one.
Look at his eyes.
din thomas
Yeah, Edson or Michael Johnson.
joe rogan
I was going, please tap.
I was anticipating that spiral fracture that guys get when they don't tap to the Kimura.
matt serra
I don't like that.
Kimura's an ugly break.
Minotauro vs.
Frank Mee is the ugliest example of that.
Don't be stubborn with that, man.
joe rogan
I saw it in a jiu-jitsu tournament.
matt serra
I don't like that.
joe rogan
Recently online.
Some kid snapped.
His arm just goes limp.
matt serra
It's horrible.
joe rogan
It's horrible.
And it happened quick, too, man.
The guy just turned it.
He turned the corner.
It just popped right in his arm.
And he goes like this and backs up.
Oh, it's awful.
matt serra
I had a guy the other day.
Listen, people fall asleep all the time.
You know what happens?
Our goal is to, you know, put someone to sleep or get a limb.
So sometimes if the guy's a little stubborn, you know, an arm lock or, you know, usually it's like, ah, you know, and they'll stop, if anything.
But with the choke, sometimes you don't know.
So the bread cutter, you know the bread cutter?
Fucking when the arm's down like this?
I love that fucking one.
It's so good.
One of my black belts, Gord, he went with this other guy.
Now this other guy, Syed's a strong fucking...
Like, Middle Eastern guy.
And he's...
Dude, he's not in that quick tap club.
And it's not good.
See, this is the second time he went out.
But this time when he goes out, I go over.
Like, you know, you pick up the legs.
So I go over to him.
And I always usually make a joke.
And like, you know, because they usually come right back.
So I'm like, hey, look, I'm in your bedroom.
Hey, remember I slept over.
You know what I'm thinking?
And he's looking at me.
Dude, in 30 years, I've never seen one like this.
Because I don't know how long this guy had him out.
His eyes were open.
He looked like a fucking zombie.
He's got my wrist.
unidentified
He's going...
matt serra
I'm like, whoa!
unidentified
And I go, say it!
matt serra
And he's like, oh!
His eyes will, like he was out but not.
joe rogan
He might have been out for a while.
matt serra
And he had my wrist.
I thought it was you fucking grabbing me.
I go, hey, dude.
I had a neon belly on him.
I'm like, don't let go of his legs.
I didn't want him to move.
It actually was starting to scare me a little bit.
joe rogan
How long did it take before he came back?
matt serra
It felt like fucking eternity.
It was a few seconds.
And his eyes would just open the whole time.
I'm like, dude, is this fucking...
What am I dealing with here?
And then he started to...
The whole time he's clenching his...
He's got my wrist.
And I go, dude, are you back?
Did you sign a waiver?
unidentified
No, I didn't say...
matt serra
I go, uh...
He was okay.
He was alright.
And then the best was...
That guy Gord's a big, sweetheart of a guy.
He's like a half a hippie, you know?
He looks like Kung Fu Panda.
He's been calling me later.
He goes, you know, I haven't seen Syed since.
Is he alright?
He goes, come to think of it, nobody's seen this motherfucker.
I go, Sue, check up on this guy.
My girl, check up on him.
He came back the next day.
He was fucking fine.
Nobody's seen him.
joe rogan
He might have been a little embarrassed.
matt serra
Nah, he's a nice guy.
unidentified
I go, listen.
matt serra
Then I found out, it was like the second time he went out.
I go, dude, you can't.
joe rogan
I go, this is a tap.
matt serra
You gotta tap.
I go, and I go, Henzo, because listen, it happens once in a while.
It happened to me once.
I don't know if it ever happened to you guys.
You ever get put to sleep?
joe rogan
I never got put to sleep.
matt serra
I was a purple belt in the city, and I was going with this other purple belt.
I didn't even like this guy.
This guy's a little prick.
I'll tell you his name of the ass.
I don't want to give him any street cred, right?
He was a purple from Pennsylvania.
Never liked him.
I would always best him.
But he was just like a dicky dude.
So he was trying to fucking...
And he was not bad at jiu-jitsu.
So he's in my guard trying to strangle me.
Amateur move, you know, feet and hips, flipped them over, mounted them, fell asleep.
Motherfucker had it on still, you know?
So I'm like, what the fuck?
Henzo like woke me up.
He didn't want to make a scene.
He goes, nah, nah, he's okay.
So then the guy went back after me, and I woke up like during it.
I'm like, what the fuck?
And then I kind of, then I realized what's going on.
I fucked him up.
But I remember afterwards...
joe rogan
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
So they didn't stop the match?
matt serra
No, it was during the whole night of rolling.
No, it wasn't a match.
It was us just training on a whatever night.
It was back to the Gracie Kukuk days.
joe rogan
Craig Kukuk days.
He's the guy that had those videotapes, right?
din thomas
I learned jiu-jitsu from him.
joe rogan
I learned a solid amount of skating in that.
matt serra
He was my first instructor.
I got my blue belt under Craig.
Craig came to New Jersey first, and Henzo came two years later.
And then later on, they ended up having a split, and Henzo came to me.
You know the story.
joe rogan
Where'd that Ku Klux guy go?
matt serra
Idaho or something.
john rallo
Yeah, I think he is in Idaho.
matt serra
He was a very good instructor.
He was under Horion and Hoyce, and then they disowned him for some business reasons, you know?
How weird.
When I seen shit like that, I had like a newsletter of the Gracie newsletter.
I was like a 17-year-old.
Because my father was a martial artist.
This is before Black Belt magazine days.
So I'm like, wait.
So then I found out they did something at Black Belt where he was going to be in a...
New Jersey doing one day a week in Manhattan at Oishi's Judo Club down in the village over there.
So I go, I gotta take advantage of this.
I knew they kicked him out, but I knew they already awarded him, so there he is!
Big German guy.
He was a very good teacher.
So my foundation is like...
joe rogan
How long ago was this, Jamie?
Does it say down there when it was uploaded?
matt serra
This is probably 90s.
joe rogan
11 years early 90s.
This is from the 92, though.
Oh, the video's from 92?
jamie vernon
The video was re-uploaded and remastered 11 years ago.
matt serra
This is very old, though.
joe rogan
It was a DVD, so it wouldn't be a video.
Oh, interesting.
matt serra
And it's funny, because when he started training, he didn't like the gi.
He's like, I don't even own a gi.
He's that guy.
But he was a very good teacher.
He learned how to whore in on hoist.
But the problem was he wasn't a very personable guy.
Like he was...
Like you could never get too close to the guy.
And him and Henzo had like a falling out business-wise.
And I was almost...
I felt...
I was a young kid at the time.
So I remember Henzo took me out to eat afterwards.
And he goes, look, one day after training...
And he told me.
He goes, look...
Now that I got my green card, I'm getting away from this motherfucker.
And he goes, if you go with him...
john rallo
So that guy tried to kind of cockblock his green card.
matt serra
Yeah, it wasn't as good.
And then I remember Henzo going, if you go with him, some guys will go just because of you.
Nobody likes this motherfucker.
Henzo goes, if you go with him...
He goes, but I want you to come with me, and this and that.
It wasn't even a choice.
Because Henzo was like family.
And I'm a loyal guy.
I felt like parents were breaking up a little bit.
But like...
unidentified
But Henzo is a gem.
din thomas
I want him to run for president.
I want him to run for president.
unidentified
You can't have Brazilian citizens run for president in America, unfortunately.
matt serra
He's a great human being.
joe rogan
Isn't that kind of weird?
You could live here, but you can't run it.
We just want to make sure we don't get some foreign infiltrators.
It's like some old-school espionage shit.
Someone takes their child, this is going to be the next president to destroy the world.
john rallo
He's the best.
matt serra
No, I mean, Enzo, he's such a great human being.
He's done so much for me.
He's the best.
Everybody loves Enzo.
joe rogan
I've never met anybody who doesn't.
john rallo
It's true.
matt serra
And the thing about Henzo is the nicest fucking guy there is.
joe rogan
Yeah.
No, he's the best.
matt serra
He'll switch it in a heartbeat.
john rallo
In a half a second.
matt serra
In a fucking half a second.
Listen, he was in a...
Really quick.
He was with his son, Huron, who's a sweet kid.
And he told this story on my podcast, but I'll try to do it justice.
He's the best storyteller.
They pulled into a gas station, right?
And he was in a little sports car that he was giving to his son, Huron.
And then somebody, there was some guys, some street guys going, you know, that's a chick's car, something like that, right?
And he saw his son's face get a little sad.
So he gets out, he goes, hey, come, see the size of my vagina!
unidentified
He goes, come on!
Let's see.
matt serra
And he goes, oh!
He don't got no...
Hanzo's a fucking nut.
unidentified
Come on, man.
He's fucking nuts.
john rallo
I always get into drama, too.
matt serra
Yeah, Hanzo don't give a fuck, man.
unidentified
Hanzo...
matt serra
Like, my first shoot-fighting match...
Like, I... My first time ever fighting in a cage.
It was at Big Dan.
You know Big Dan, the ref?
He used to have shoot-fighting matches.
john rallo
I remember.
matt serra
At his school in Elizabeth, New Jersey.
john rallo
It was like Bama Fight Nights or something like that.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah.
matt serra
So, my first time ever as a Purple Belt...
First time ever doing any kind of combat.
I did a jiu-jitsu tournament, but I never fought before.
So he came, and it was like a three-week notice thing, but I was always in shape.
So I asked Henzel, you know, what do you do like the day of the fight?
I was a little nervous, you know, and I'm thinking the crazies with their diet and this and that.
He goes, this is what you do.
unidentified
You go to GNC, you get the Rippin Fuel.
matt serra
Get one of those, you feel good all day.
unidentified
So back then, there's the Fedra back then.
matt serra
So I'm like, all right, Rippin Fuel, right?
Again, I took one on backstage and stuff going on.
I'm a little nervous.
I took another one.
Oh no.
Let me do one more.
I'm fucking, I don't know what this stuff is.
unidentified
Henzo's.
matt serra
So I took like fucking three.
So I fought some kid from Virginia who was like a blue belt level or something.
And this was with rope escapes.
So I went out there fucking, kind of like I am now.
So I fucking like all hyped up.
unidentified
Boom.
matt serra
Took him down.
unidentified
Bah.
matt serra
Rear naked choke.
He grabs the rope.
So I get him in two seconds, he gets out, so I get a point, but then they started on, so I started over, I take him down again, he starts clamming up, there's no striking on the floor in the face.
So it goes the distance, because I'm exhausted, I got exhausted because of the fucking, my heart wouldn't stop.
Afterwards, I couldn't even walk back, I'm like, dude, this fighting is exhausting, meanwhile it's the fucking Ephedra.
After the fight, Bart Vow.
You know who Bart Vow is?
He was one of the refs.
Somehow he knew Dan through the shoot fighting.
Him and Henzo were supposed to fight.
unidentified
I remember that, yeah.
matt serra
One and done event.
It was like a UFC wannabe, but Henzo fought three times in one night.
And that guy fought for some Hawaiian guy, and they both got injured.
He got out.
But he was a big...
He looked like a big fucking...
din thomas
He gave me my first cauliflower ear.
joe rogan
He's got a nice mullet.
matt serra
It's like Rollo with a mullet.
joe rogan
Didn't he have a crazy mustache?
din thomas
Yeah, he had a crazy mustache.
joe rogan
I saw Bart Vale.
matt serra
Henzo was in my corner, so afterwards...
joe rogan
He's a big dude.
john rallo
He's like 50 or so.
matt serra
Henzo, so afterwards, he saw...
Even though we went the distance, I won because I got the choke.
So Bart Vale was going like that.
Enzo jumps up on the...
There he is.
Enzo thought he was going, me and you?
Enzo thought he was calling Enzo.
Enzo went over there to fucking go jump on.
unidentified
Really?
matt serra
Yeah, yeah, fuck yeah!
din thomas
I mean, he was a big dude, man.
joe rogan
Oh, he was a massive dude.
And he was in the early, early days of bare-knuckle MMA. It was like something out of Fraga Rock or something.
din thomas
I remember that event.
That's like Eric Paulson and Matt Hume.
matt serra
Yeah.
din thomas
James Waring.
unidentified
Eric Paulson is a very good fighter.
john rallo
But I mean, it was the same time frame.
matt serra
James Waring...
Fucking schoolyard.
He fucking wrapped his hair around.
He's a boxer.
john rallo
Yeah, I remember.
matt serra
And Eric Paulson's a very complete fighter.
He's a very well-rounded Jikuno guy.
unidentified
Yeah, he cheated.
matt serra
He'd fight over in Shudo.
Well, I don't think they would know you're allowed to go back then.
john rallo
I mean, he tried to go through the striking side with his grappling experience, Paulson.
matt serra
What does that mean?
john rallo
Like, they had two divisions.
It was grapplers and strikers.
Oh, that's interesting.
And then the end of it was the guy who won the striking side fought the guy who won the grappling side.
matt serra
That's not right, though, because Henzo fought a Judica.
john rallo
I mean, they were still fighting, but they had rules on how long you could be on the ground, all that shit.
Like, I remember.
unidentified
Really?
john rallo
He's cool, Mr. Waring, actually.
I met him down in Florida.
din thomas
Yeah, he's a...
john rallo
Nice guy.
He's on the athletic commission.
joe rogan
You ever see when Matt Hume fought Pat Militech?
matt serra
Oh, that was a good fight.
joe rogan
I didn't realize how good Matt Hume was.
din thomas
Matt Hume was good, good.
joe rogan
He was very good.
din thomas
Yeah, I remember I trained with him in Japan the first time I fought Uno, and he beat the shit out of me.
I was like, man, I shouldn't even be here.
joe rogan
Mighty Mouse says he still beats his ass.
din thomas
I'm sure.
And he's like 50. Yeah, I'm sure.
matt serra
He's got to be older than 50, man.
unidentified
He's got to be older than 50. I'm about to be 50. He might be 60. Matt Hume was good.
joe rogan
He was very good.
din thomas
Yeah.
joe rogan
I was always fascinated that he didn't continue to fight.
john rallo
Remember he did contenders too where they had to grapple like the wrestlers.
joe rogan
Didn't he?
Was it Kenny Monday?
Yeah.
john rallo
Kenny Monday tried to go for his legs.
din thomas
Yeah.
joe rogan
Whatever like that.
And that was when Frank Shamrock...
din thomas
Kevin Jackson?
joe rogan
No, no, no.
Kevin Jackson was in the UFC. Oh, that was in the UFC. That was Dan Henderson.
din thomas
Was it Dan Henderson?
joe rogan
Yeah, he got Dan Henderson.
He caught him in like an ankle lock.
john rallo
Was that when Bustamante fought Erickson?
matt serra
No.
john rallo
Or was that a different event?
matt serra
Different event.
joe rogan
That was a different event.
That was an MMA event.
matt serra
That was Mars.
din thomas
Yeah, Mars.
joe rogan
Yeah, 30 minute time limit.
matt serra
He fought Tom Erickson for 45 minutes.
Murillo Bustamante and Fabio Gagello are two of my all-time favorite Jiu-Jitsu fans.
joe rogan
Me too.
din thomas
I'm with you.
I remember that.
joe rogan
Because he tapped him out and Big John stopped the fight.
john rallo
I thought Bustamante beat Chuck Liddell in that fight too.
din thomas
Me too!
john rallo
I thought he outstruck him.
I thought he won that fight.
joe rogan
Boy, I'd have to go back and watch that again.
matt serra
You know what it was?
din thomas
Me too.
matt serra
He was a beast.
He was so comfortable on the back.
Sometimes Chuck would do a punch and he'd go back with it.
The optics were a little weird.
But I think that guy...
What I love about those guys is that if you've seen those guys in Abu Dhabi, you've seen them in a jiu-jitsu tournament, you've seen them in MMA, their jiu-jitsu transitions...
That's like, who did I just say earlier?
The young kid.
Not young kid, he's younger than me, I guess.
unidentified
Lovato.
john rallo
Here's Bustamante and Chuck.
joe rogan
Here's Bustamante and Chuck right here.
And Bustamante was an 85er, right?
john rallo
Yeah.
joe rogan
This is a crazy fight, if you think about it.
How many times did Bustamante fight 205?
john rallo
He was pretty...
I mean, for a jujitsu guy, he was pretty well-rounded, especially for that time.
din thomas
For that time, for sure he was.
john rallo
None of the guys would be on their feet.
matt serra
He was awesome, real Bustamante.
john rallo
And people sleep on Chuck.
They didn't realize Chuck was a wrestler.
joe rogan
That was a good right hand by Chuck, though.
Chuck got the touch of death don't you that's what like but Chuck when he hung in there too long like I like when the guys What we just talk about it's unfortunate that they don't have a fucking exit strategy, you know And then also, if you've had a bunch of wars, you're probably not thinking so good anymore.
It's hard to muster up the mental energy to create a new career.
din thomas
It's hard to accept the fact that you ain't as good as you used to be.
unidentified
Very hard.
din thomas
They don't accept it.
joe rogan
Very hard.
matt serra
When you're young, you don't think you're ever going to be old.
joe rogan
Isn't that kind of wild at all?
Is Fedor still throwing?
matt serra
Is he really?
joe rogan
Did he retire finally in the Ryan Bader fight when he got knocked out the second time?
john rallo
I thought he retired, but then I saw him talking about trying to do a boxing match with Tyson or one of those guys.
joe rogan
That's what, man.
That dude in his prime was something different.
matt serra
Fedor, for sure.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
joe rogan
We have to look at him in the context of what came before him.
And there was nobody...
din thomas
Yeah, there was nothing like him before him, for sure.
joe rogan
The fact that he could both knock you out and hit submissions from everywhere.
From everywhere.
Off his back.
I mean...
When Randleman threw him, remember that?
matt serra
Yeah, yeah.
joe rogan
Spiked him on his head and his expression never changed.
din thomas
His variety of just being able to do so many different things.
joe rogan
So many different things.
unidentified
So tough.
matt serra
And his personality.
How are you starting a podcast?
john rallo
There's something about that heavyweight when he could have fought at 205 forever.
joe rogan
He could have fought at 85. How about that?
What was he about 230 with that belly?
matt serra
He always looked chubby.
unidentified
Very active.
matt serra
Accurate man.
john rallo
His hand speed was pretty good.
joe rogan
Phenomenal.
din thomas
Yeah, I was with Jeff Munson in Russia when he fought Jeff.
And man, I've never seen a beating like that.
And when Jeff was walking out, he really looked like he was going to his death.
I mean, it was bad.
unidentified
That was Fedor when he was really Fedor.
joe rogan
Remember when he walked down Krokop?
unidentified
Most of that fight was beating him up.
joe rogan
Okay, Ryan Bader, he said he suffered a TKO in the first round, retiring from MMA after the bout.
So he says, but that was real recent.
That was February.
Yeah, a year ago.
Yeah, I don't know.
I mean, I think you could talk some of those guys.
I just think they just don't like not doing it.
din thomas
Yeah.
joe rogan
The thrill of getting...
It just gives them a purpose.
And as they get older, it gets more and more dangerous.
You get KO'd more often.
john rallo
You would think Putin would make him the minister or something like he did with Corolla and stuff.
You know, give him a job.
matt serra
The problem is when you compete that long...
I know the weirdest feeling for me, I don't know how it was for you or any of you guys, you all competed...
After the three month to the six month mark of not getting another thing coming up, it's a fucking weird feeling.
It's like, shouldn't I be calling Joe Silva now and getting another fucking fight?
What am I... Your purpose.
Yeah, yeah.
It felt weird.
It felt weird in the beginning.
joe rogan
For a lot of people, they just can't accept.
And then if they go and do other stuff and they don't find success in that other thing, then they get it all.
I could have just made $30,000 for a fight.
I could have done this.
I could have done that.
din thomas
And then you're watching other dudes make all this money and you're thinking, damn, man.
Still hang with them, right?
joe rogan
I still got it and then you got to get a real job There's also the difference between someone who's absolutely obsessed at being the best in the world and someone who's thinking I could probably fight and make money Yeah, it's just not gonna train you're not gonna focus you're not gonna have the same intensity enthusiasm That's the same everything it's you're not gonna.
You're not gonna be the same guy So even if you used to be that guy when you were younger when you're 20 If you're 27 and you're just doing it for money and you think you're still that guy that you were when you were 20 when you were obsessed with it, you're going to get fucked up.
You're going to get fucked up.
matt serra
Things can go south so quickly, too.
You could be on a tear.
Next thing you know, you're down two.
You're down three.
Now what do you got?
joe rogan
Look at Volkanovski.
Volkanovski before the rematch with Islam Makachev is in dispute as the best pound-for-pound fighter alive, right?
He almost won that fight, a very close fight.
Some people thought he could have won, some people thought Islam could have won, but either way, he went up, fought the best fighter in the 155-pound division, and...
Got to a standstill with him.
So at that point, you're looking at him, this motherfucker is one of the greatest of all time, probably the best pound-for-pound fighter alive, and then he gets KO'd in the rematch he takes with 10 days notice, which is crazy to take a fight like that with 10 days notice.
And then he gets KO'd in the fight with Toporia.
And in two fights over the course of, what was it, seven months, eight months?
Everything's different.
john rallo
Do you think his team did him a disservice running him out there right after?
Like, that was too soon after Makachev, in my opinion.
And if they let him run out there again in three or four months, I think they're really doing him a disservice because the light's been turned off twice, and they've got to give him his brain time.
din thomas
Yeah, but is that really his team, or that's just him?
john rallo
I mean, I guess you do have the final say.
joe rogan
You do have the final say, and fighters always think they can do anything.
They always think they can do it.
They always think they can pull it off.
john rallo
Because like you said, he pretty much, at that weight, might have been the best guy ever.
joe rogan
When Manny Pacquiao got knocked out by Marquez, Freddie Roach said, one year.
You only take a whole year off if you're not doing anything for a year.
It was one of the best one-punch knockouts in the history of the sport.
john rallo
And Manny was piecing him up until that point, too.
joe rogan
And the consequences of the fight, you know?
Their third fight.
matt serra
Hindsight's 20-20, though.
I mean, he could have went in there and fucking knocked him out.
I mean, what if he got that head kick?
john rallo
I mean, he 100% could have, but you're compromised.
joe rogan
You're not going to be able to compete against a guy like Makachev with no camp.
You're not gonna be the same guy.
This is my argument like with Kamaru Usman and Hamzat.
And everyone's like, Hamzat beat Kamaru.
I'm like, sort of.
Sort of.
Kind of.
Ten days notice.
john rallo
Kamaru wins.
joe rogan
Yeah, because Kamaru was winning in the third.
Also, Kamaru didn't have time to prepare.
He doesn't know, he can't trust his gas tank.
john rallo
Fighting up a weight class.
joe rogan
Fighting up a weight class, but Hamzat was really legit 170 if he could make the weight.
At 170, Hamzat's the most terrifying guy on the planet.
din thomas
Right.
joe rogan
Because he's fucking horrific.
He knocks you out with one punch.
He's got crazy...
Crazy speed.
din thomas
Yeah, I was about to say his speed is what is underrated.
matt serra
Could you trust him to make the weight though?
joe rogan
No.
din thomas
Can't trust him to do shit.
Can't trust him to show up.
joe rogan
The thing about that one weight cut that he missed by eight pounds though, that's New York.
And they stopped him from cutting the weight.
You know how they do it.
matt serra
Fucking New Yorkers.
joe rogan
No, some athletic commissions, they intervene a little.
They get it and they go, oh, he's not going to make it.
Listen, they can make it.
It ain't gonna look good, but they can make it.
john rallo
How do they get their two cents in?
joe rogan
They did that with, that's why Al had to fight Khabib, right?
Because they didn't think Max Holloway was cutting, they didn't want him cutting any more weight.
Because Max was cutting the weight, and they were like, uh-uh.
So 24 hours notice, Al steps in.
matt serra
And he stepped in like a stud.
Raging ally.
john rallo
He didn't take him down after the second round.
matt serra
He was supposed to fight Paul Felder.
A totally different fight.
joe rogan
For three rounds.
Kickboxer.
matt serra
He got taken down right away.
He went with him five rounds and he was in there.
He was in there and that was without a camp for that.
He was fighting a three round.
He wasn't even getting ready for five rounds.
john rallo
Personally, that fight to me I thought kind of exposed Khabib a little bit.
Obviously he's undefeated and all that stuff, but What if he would ever got in there with a dude that had a skill set like George?
Who could strike, who could defend and take down, who could wrestle with him.
joe rogan
He did.
He fought Justin Gaethje.
Justin Gaethje's a dangerous motherfucker.
john rallo
I don't think his wrestling's the same.
joe rogan
No, he doesn't use his wrestling.
He doesn't use it to attack.
But he's hard to take down.
Justin's very hard to take down.
And Khabib dominated him in grappling exchanges.
The thing about George is he's just much bigger.
George is a big guy.
George fought 85, beat Michael Bisping, right?
I know he's not really an 85-er, but George at 170 is a big, strong 170. Oh, 100%.
And it could be the same kind of deal where, like, when Izzy went up and fought Jan Bohovic.
It's like you got the 185 pound champ who's a virtuoso, but he's fighting a guy that's just a lot bigger than him.
din thomas
Yeah.
joe rogan
He's a lot bigger.
If you're not going to have the time to prepare and get your body into a position where you're in somewhat similar range and far of strength.
You know, if you're in these crazy grappling exchanges.
din thomas
That's what I say.
Plus, Izzy just sucks on the ground.
joe rogan
He's not the best on the ground.
din thomas
Yeah.
joe rogan
It's a fact.
din thomas
Yeah.
joe rogan
Yeah, he's not.
You know, I mean, which was surprising the first fight with Pajeda when he gets him down.
You know, crazy, and he had his back.
din thomas
Yeah, I mean, he could have did a lot more with that.
He could have did a lot more with that, yeah.
joe rogan
Yeah, Alex's level on the ground is not good either.
You know, but the thing is, he's getting better at defending.
He's getting a lot better at defending once he gets taken down, and when he's on his feet, he's just a motherfucker to deal with.
Especially as you slow down a little bit.
matt serra
I don't think either of those guys are going for a takedown, to be honest.
Jamal Hill or Alex?
joe rogan
But Jamal would be more capable of taking Alex down and doing well on the ground.
Jamal's not lost on the ground.
He just is such a good striker.
He prefers to stand up.
It's a fucking fun fight.
unidentified
I know.
joe rogan
It's a fun fight.
I'm gonna have goose bumps before that one starts.
Here we go!
din thomas
That's why I don't understand why people were upset about that being the main event.
joe rogan
Oh my god, they're crazy.
That's just dorks.
din thomas
What the hell did you expect?
What did you want?
joe rogan
Where's Connor?
Do you guys think Connor will fight this year?
matt serra
I think so.
joe rogan
They keep saying he's going to fight.
They keep saying he's going to fight.
john rallo
Keep pushing it back, pushing it back.
din thomas
I think so.
I think after doing that movie and how much he had to put into that movie, I think he's going to want to come back to do something like fighting, something that he loves to do.
joe rogan
There's the movie curse.
The Tommy Morrison curse.
When he became a movie star.
I remember Tommy Morrison was like the man in boxing.
He was the Duke.
He was John Wayne's grandson.
Your nephew?
john rallo
I think he was a nephew or something.
joe rogan
Nephew or some shit?
So they would call him the Duke, you know, and everybody thought he was going to be the man.
And then he did Rocky, and then after Rocky he fought Ray motherfucking Mercer.
john rallo
That was a horrible knockout.
din thomas
That might be one of the worst knockouts in the history of the worst knockouts.
joe rogan
And he's out already, and Mercer's keeping him up with punches.
He's tangled up in the ropes and Mercer's just teeing off with bombs.
matt serra
Not to mention Ray Mercer knocked out Tim Sylvia.
joe rogan
That was when they had agreed to beat boxing only and Sylvia opened up with an inside leg kick and Ray Mercer looks up.
unidentified
He was like 46 at the time.
john rallo
What about Mercer when he fought in Japan?
Who head kicked him and he just said...
unidentified
I'm trying to remember who that was.
din thomas
Ray Mercer came to the American Top Team when I was with them.
He came there a few times just to kind of see what MMA was like, yeah.
joe rogan
There was a few boxers that gave it a go in kickboxing.
john rallo
Both Vince Phillips.
joe rogan
Vince Phillips fought Masato.
din thomas
He got his legs kicked, and he was like, nah, I'm straight.
joe rogan
No, they fought a while.
He fought a while.
He got really lit up in the legs, though.
Real bad.
Masato was so good, too.
matt serra
Butterbean versus Genki Sudo.
unidentified
Oh yeah, Genki Tsudo, heel hooked him, right?
john rallo
Genki Tsudo was a stud.
joe rogan
Oh fuck yeah, he was.
john rallo
He was a good guy.
matt serra
He was great.
john rallo
You had Abu Dhabi, didn't you?
matt serra
No, no.
I had a training session with all the Japanese guys that were going to Abu Dhabi one year.
I was in Japan with Henzo, and Henzo was fighting in Pride, so he wanted me and Ricardo Ameda to go with everybody, all the Japanese guys.
They were filming it.
They were going over...
They were all getting together, all the Abu Dhabi team together, grappling session.
They were gonna film stuff.
So he goes, I want you and Hikaru to go down there.
It'll be good for you.
And meanwhile, it was my first time in Japan.
I'm like, I don't wanna do shit, man.
I just wanna fucking...
But I'm like, all right, fine.
You know, Henzo makes us, you know, makes you go.
So the day before, Heian did something to fucking Ricardo's legs, so Ricardo couldn't do nothing.
Heian's a wild man.
So I had to go down.
So it was just me, you know.
So they were with me, but...
So I went with Genki Sudo at one point.
I went with a lot of the guys.
And it was like four-minute matches from, like, the feet.
So at one point, like, I jumped guard, and he went down, he stood up, and he started going around in a circle, like, ah!
And they're all going, oh!
unidentified
And I'm like, ah!
matt serra
I open up and he goes for a leg lock.
unidentified
I got out of it, but it's fucking weird.
matt serra
But they all did the voice.
joe rogan
He was wild.
matt serra
He was a wild guy, man.
unidentified
Genki was supposed to be my first fight in the UFC. Oh, Remy Bonjowski.
matt serra
Oh, he's not used to that.
joe rogan
Yeah, he got head kicked.
john rallo
He said, that's alright.
joe rogan
Well, Rami Bonjoski was amazing.
Yeah, he was.
And he had such an interesting style.
john rallo
Crazy knees.
joe rogan
Yeah.
Hey, man, we just lost Rob Kamen.
That sucks.
matt serra
That really sucks.
joe rogan
That was hard.
matt serra
Nice guy.
joe rogan
I worked out with that guy a lot.
I trained with that guy for like an eight-week period.
It was amazing.
He was awesome.
matt serra
Those Dutch guys are cool, man.
joe rogan
He's the coolest.
He was the coolest.
john rallo
He's super cool.
matt serra
I did a joint seminar with him in Canada one time.
He's just a cool guy.
joe rogan
Head kick.
Check, please.
unidentified
Thank you.
I'm done.
joe rogan
I don't enjoy that.
Franz Botha, he did well in kickboxing, remember?
Yeah, he figured out how to do it a little bit and started fucking people up.
Well, his hands were so good.
If you could have elite hands and you could figure out the kicks, you had a little bit of an advantage because some of those guys, their boxing was not the best.
Right, right, right.
din thomas
If you could just stay in close.
matt serra
Did Genki Sudo get Raymond Decker also?
Raymond Decker got submitted.
din thomas
I think he did.
matt serra
I remember him because I think Genki got hit.
joe rogan
I think that was his only MMA fight.
matt serra
I remember that guy because Longo used to always point that guy out and be like, this fucking guy!
joe rogan
Decker's in his prime as the wildest highlight reel of any fighter ever.
He was an assassin.
He had his ankle fused.
His ankle had broken so many times that his doctor, he couldn't bend his ankle.
And his doctor was like, look, if you keep kicking with that thing, we might have to remove it.
Fuck you, wrap it back up, kicking people too.
He just, once we got in there, he just smashed.
He kicked through everything.
He kicked through your arms, he kicked through your elbows.
Ramon Deckers was a fucking machine, man, and he was a small guy, so he's fighting the elite ties that were all his weight and just piecing people up.
din thomas
He was mean, too.
joe rogan
Oh, he was ferocious.
Put on a Ramon Decker highlight.
He was ferocious, man.
He was the combinations.
He was the first guy that perfected the duchy.
Ernesto Hoos used to always do that left hook to the body, right low kick.
He would hit that thing.
It was a fucking thing of beauty.
And he was just such a fucking killer.
Such a killer.
Like, just mean.
Everything was hard.
Everything was hard.
Every fucking strike was full power.
And this motherfucker just put people away.
matt serra
It's a little bit like Nate Landar.
joe rogan
A little bit, bro.
Ramon Deckers was the fucking man.
And his hands were so powerful, too.
The thing that he had above a lot of those guys was his punching power in his hands.
Oh, man.
unidentified
Bro.
john rallo
He's trying to hit him on the way down.
joe rogan
As he's on the way down, he's still trying to tee off on him.
Ramon Deckers, bro.
Come on, son.
matt serra
Let's see his hand in MMA after this.
joe rogan
He's a guy, he died young, too.
matt serra
That's what I love about Jiu-Jitsu.
joe rogan
He died young, too.
He died.
unidentified
Did he?
joe rogan
Yeah, I think he died.
He had like a heart attack while he's riding his bike or something crazy.
matt serra
What the fuck is that?
joe rogan
He probably rode his bike like a fucking savage.
din thomas
Yeah, he probably did everything hard.
joe rogan
He had a fucking heart attack.
He was a monster, man.
Imagine being stuck in the fucking ring with this guy.
I mean, and back then, there was nobody like him.
I mean, he was just fucking everybody up, and he was so mean.
john rallo
Holding motherfuckers up and knee him.
din thomas
Yeah, holding him up to knee him.
joe rogan
Look at this.
Kicking him through the ropes.
Like, you gotta stop him.
You gotta pull him off you.
Look, dude's going down, head kicks him.
Bro, Ramon Deckers.
matt serra
Bring on Genki!
unidentified
He would do that.
joe rogan
That was the thing that Rob Cameron was great at too.
The low kick across the front of the legs.
He would step off to the left and throw that right low kick across both thighs.
unidentified
Ooh!
joe rogan
That's a thudder.
Bro, Ramon Deckers.
I mean, what a highlight reel.
Whose fucking highlight reel is everybody getting smoked?
It's all everyone just getting pieced up.
And the power that motherfucker had with his kicks, with his punches, everything.
He just destroyed people.
But he destroyed his own body, too.
I mean, his ankle was completely fucked by the time his career was over.
john rallo
I wonder if Steven Seagal showed him that...
unidentified
Bro, the Brazilians love Steven Seagal.
What is he, pay those guys to hang out with them?
joe rogan
No, I think Anderson had a great sense of humor.
And I think Anderson loved those movies when he was a kid.
When I met Chuck Norris, I was like, oh my god, I'm meeting Chuck Norris.
I hug Chuck Norris.
unidentified
Wow!
So for Anderson, it might have been like...
joe rogan
Same thing.
The fucking...
The first one?
What was the first one?
Above the Law?
unidentified
Above the Law.
joe rogan
Bro, that was a good movie!
john rallo
Everybody liked that one.
joe rogan
That was a good fucking movie!
john rallo
Yeah, everybody liked that one.
joe rogan
That movie was legit!
So if Anderson fell in love with that Steven Segar, it would make sense.
matt serra
What about Alpha Justice?
joe rogan
Alpha Justice wasn't bad.
matt serra
Anybody seen Bobby Lupo?
It was horrible.
It was fucking horrible.
joe rogan
That's the one where he was in Brooklyn.
matt serra
He pretended to be a gangster.
john rallo
He wanted to be Italian in the worst one.
joe rogan
So bad.
Well, that was when the mob was allegedly sponsoring his movies.
He had like a mix-up with the mob.
The mom was involved in financing his move.
He's like, Stephen, I don't think you understand here.
matt serra
He should do something.
joe rogan
Showing him how to grab him by the nose.
This is what you do.
Just grab him by the nose.
Imagine telling Anderson Silva, when you get in the clinch, just grab him by the nose.
Watch this.
Take him down.
Grab his nose.
What the fuck are you saying?
He's giving him coaching.
It's adorable.
And Anderson's listening.
But the thing is, like, Anderson might be able to take something from some of this wacky shit.
din thomas
That's true.
Because he's a creative, right?
joe rogan
Remember when he hit Tony Fricklin with that step-in upward elbow?
Did you know that he had to train that away from his coaches?
Because his coaches told him to stop drilling that.
You're not going to use that.
din thomas
Really?
joe rogan
And so he made his wife hold pillows.
So his wife would hold pillows.
He would step in and throw that elbow.
din thomas
No kidding.
Yeah.
joe rogan
Bang!
And then he did it on purpose just to show them.
Fuck you.
din thomas
Yeah.
joe rogan
I can do this shit.
And this was when Anderson, before he came over to the UFC, look at this.
din thomas
Boom!
john rallo
Is that when he got his head split?
joe rogan
Bro, come on.
No, he just KO'd him.
unidentified
Jesus.
joe rogan
But bro, Anderson in those days when he was fighting in England, that's when he became Anderson.
So when he came over to the UFC to fight Chris Lieben, I was like, everybody hang on.
din thomas
Yeah, I remember that.
joe rogan
Because this is the motherfucker.
matt serra
Me and Dean Thomas fought on that card.
It was the tough four finale.
Chris Liebman didn't get close to him, man.
joe rogan
Bro, that was a clinic.
john rallo
That and Rich Franklin.
joe rogan
Yeah, both Rich Franklin fights.
Brutalized those guys.
But that was when Anderson became Anderson.
You know, like when we fought Rio Chonan in pride and Rio Chonan flying scissored him into a heel hook.
john rallo
I remember that too.
joe rogan
He wasn't as good back then.
unidentified
Right.
joe rogan
There was something missing.
And then he goes to England and then he finds himself.
And then he starts fucking everybody up.
Jorge Rivera.
din thomas
Yeah, for sure.
joe rogan
Remember when Jorge stood right in front of him, let him punch him in the face?
unidentified
Mm-hmm.
joe rogan
I mean, it's like Anderson was on another planet.
din thomas
I know.
joe rogan
He was on another planet back then.
din thomas
Lee Murray?
Yeah, Lee Murray.
joe rogan
Lee Murray peaced up Lee Murray.
He was dangerous back then.
unidentified
Dangerous.
matt serra
I was at the club that night that Lee Murray got into that fight with Tito.
unidentified
You were really?
din thomas
You were there?
unidentified
I was.
Did you see it?
matt serra
It was in London.
joe rogan
Did you see the fight?
matt serra
It was in London or Manchester?
No, it was that.
Where the fuck was that?
It was London, it was London.
din thomas
Cause he beat up Tito and Tito said he had shoes on.
matt serra
I remember he came up to me.
Slippery shoes.
din thomas
Yeah, slippery shoes.
matt serra
First of all, when you look in the dude's eyes, you know, cause he was talking to me in the club, He's like, yeah, you like the jiu-jitsu?
I can't do the accent.
But he's like, yeah.
He's asking me about my...
He says, yeah, you like the jiu-jitsu?
I like to knock people out.
I thought he was just like a crazy knucklehead.
So I was just talking to him like, ah, yeah, cool.
And then when I left later that night, I heard he fucking knocked out Tito.
Dropped Tito.
He was a real gangster.
john rallo
Obviously.
din thomas
A real gangster.
joe rogan
Imagine a guy that's that good at MMA and fighting is actually a real bank robber.
john rallo
I know.
joe rogan
Because he fucked a lot of people up, man.
john rallo
They did like a little mini documentary on that.
I don't know if it's Showtime or HBO or who it was.
Could have been on Netflix.
joe rogan
Wasn't Guy Ritchie going to do a film about that heist?
din thomas
That's what I'm wondering.
john rallo
You would think by now he would have.
joe rogan
That heist is crazy.
din thomas
Yeah, they should have did that movie.
joe rogan
A bunch of fighters put on tactical gear and robbed $50 million.
john rallo
Had to love his mural in his house in Morocco.
unidentified
He had a mural in his house of submitting Corny Rivera.
joe rogan
Oh.
That's it.
john rallo
Catch and Lightning.
joe rogan
It was last year?
It came out?
john rallo
It just came out.
joe rogan
Oh, it's a miniseries.
john rallo
Not just, but a year or so ago.
Oh, so someone plays him?
joe rogan
Was this Guy Ritchie?
john rallo
I don't know.
joe rogan
Oh, it says Guy Ritchie's making a movie.
unidentified
No, no.
joe rogan
It says he's not?
Does it say he is?
It does not say he is.
It says he's not?
john rallo
Yeah, this Catch and Lightning thing is more like documentary.
joe rogan
Guy Ritchie's got to do it.
john rallo
It's like his coach and people like that.
People that were around when the heist happened and all that stuff.
joe rogan
So, but if you click on it, it said Guy Ritchie's making a movie that someone's responding to that, but is that just rumor?
jamie vernon
Yes, someone said you said something about it.
joe rogan
I'm probably lying again.
I'm probably spreading more misinformation.
unidentified
God damn it.
It would probably say Guy Ritchie's name right on it.
joe rogan
Oh, so this is a documentary?
Documentary.
Oh, it's a documentary series.
Oh, well, that's got to be really interesting.
That's what I want to see.
I want to see the real thing.
john rallo
This is actually good.
joe rogan
Oh, beautiful.
So that was out April 7th?
john rallo
Yeah, check it out.
joe rogan
It's out right now?
unidentified
Last year.
joe rogan
Oh, okay.
And it's called Catching Lightning.
john rallo
Yep.
joe rogan
So I will check that out for sure.
It's a crazy story, man.
But he was a real elite fighter.
He was a dangerous knockout striker.
din thomas
Yeah.
That's on Showtime?
john rallo
Yeah, yeah.
My wife is the one that showed me that it was on.
We watched it.
It was good.
joe rogan
I saw him fight live, well obviously in the Jorge Rivera fight, but I saw him fight live against Amir Ranavardi.
Bro, he was a fucking killer, dude.
He was a killer.
Lee Murray was a dangerous dude.
unidentified
Yeah, he could fight.
din thomas
He could box.
Dangerous.
Yeah, good hands.
joe rogan
Dangerous puncher.
matt serra
I mean, shit, that was when I seen him at that club.
I mean, when was that?
Early 2000s?
And I seen something in his eyes.
joe rogan
Do you remember when he got stabbed in a knife fight and then was in the hospital almost dead and then hit and pad six weeks later?
din thomas
Oh my god.
joe rogan
Yeah, show Lee Murray.
I think it's like, I legitimately think it was like six to eight weeks after getting stabbed, if I remember it correctly.
He was hitting mitts.
And I was like, this is the most insane thing I've ever seen in my life.
See if you can find that.
Because it was a video that got released.
It wasn't like that he was tearing the mitts up, but he was hitting mitts after getting stabbed in the heart.
din thomas
In the heart?
joe rogan
In the heart!
Bro, I mean he got stabbed a bunch of times.
din thomas
That's crazy.
joe rogan
He should have died and lived and then next thing he's hitting mitts and then after that he's planning a bank robbery.
john rallo
You'll see on the documentary like they kind of show they kind of say he's not you know he ain't the mastermind they like set him up to be that guy.
joe rogan
Oh the master I wouldn't think he's the mastermind of the organization.
din thomas
Just the fact that he was there.
joe rogan
Well that's the kind of guy if you want to rob a bank.
john rallo
They were in on it it's I mean it's pretty crazy and it wasn't it the largest amount of money like in stolen in British history or something like that.
joe rogan
How did they catch him?
How do they know who did it?
john rallo
I mean, I'm going to ruin the documentary for you.
din thomas
Okay, don't, don't.
joe rogan
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Is there a video of him hitting the pads after being stabbed in the heart?
See if you can find that.
It's so crazy.
It was on YouTube, I believe.
matt serra
Does this thing dissolve or am I spitting this thing out?
joe rogan
You spit it out.
unidentified
Oh, okay.
matt serra
I didn't know.
I'm chewing it like a gum.
joe rogan
Yeah, it gets a little chewy.
matt serra
Can I have another one?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Get in there, sir.
matt serra
Thank you.
joe rogan
Junkie.
matt serra
Now, where's that Cat Williams shit?
Let's go!
unidentified
Uh-oh.
matt serra
No, no, I'm only kidding.
My kids are watching.
joe rogan
Hold on.
matt serra
Steve Thomas.
unidentified
Dude.
matt serra
Let's fucking go.
joe rogan
Cat Williams stuff is not for amateurs.
Give me a zin.
matt serra
Give me a zin.
Thank you, bro.
Let's go.
joe rogan
Let's go.
Ready to revive for round three.
Do you remember when Panama Lewis gave Aaron Pryor the green one?
din thomas
Not that one, yeah, the other one I mixed, yeah.
joe rogan
And then he came out, woo!
matt serra
Do you guys remember when Greg Hardy wanted somebody to give him a fucking...
Never mind.
joe rogan
What?
Greg Hardy the wrestler?
din thomas
No.
unidentified
Everybody forgot I shouldn't bring it up.
matt serra
Greg Hardy was fighting and he goes, man, I need my inhaler.
So his corner guy, he must have been new to the UFC. He goes, alright.
It was Dean Thompson.
Dean, I'm sorry.
joe rogan
Oh, you were fighting Greg Hardy?
matt serra
No.
Greg Hardy was fighting, Dean was cornering him.
joe rogan
Oh, Greg Hardy, the heavyweight guy.
Oh, Jesus Christ.
matt serra
Usada approved.
din thomas
I asked the dude and he said yeah.
joe rogan
Is that not Usada approved?
matt serra
Who handed it to him?
din thomas
I handed it to him.
joe rogan
Is that not Usada approved?
din thomas
No, it's not.
joe rogan
Oh, boy, and they did it on camera?
john rallo
In reality, if a dude fights with asthma, you would think he'd be cleared to use his fucking inhaler.
joe rogan
Right, but what does the inhaler do for you?
john rallo
It opens your lungs up.
joe rogan
Would it be beneficial for someone who doesn't have asthma?
john rallo
Yeah, 100%.
joe rogan
Yeah, then you can't use it.
din thomas
No, but he has asthma, and he got cleared to have it in the back.
And he thought he was able to have it in the corner.
So when I asked the guy, I said, can he have this?
He said, yeah, I think so.
So I gave it to him.
matt serra
Well, sorry to bring that up.
unidentified
I mean, Dana threw me under the bus.
He was like, yo, that damn Dean Thomas, how could he do this?
joe rogan
You know, it's complicated, too, because the rules keep shifting a little bit.
din thomas
Right.
john rallo
I mean, state to state, it's 100% different.
joe rogan
But the testosterone rule was the craziest rule.
Of all the rules that have ever existed in the UFC, when they started giving people testosterone, that was the craziest rule.
din thomas
I know, that was the craziest rule.
joe rogan
That was the craziest rule.
There were Wild West days, where people could take whatever they wanted.
din thomas
What years was that, where they were just allowed the guys...
joe rogan
That's a good question.
I want to say it's like 2010-ish.
What year did Luke Rockhold fight Vitor?
din thomas
Vitor came back a different man.
joe rogan
A different man.
Luke different.
john rallo
Way different.
din thomas
That was when he spin kicked Luke in the head.
Remember?
joe rogan
Luke Rockhold said, I was looking at this guy at the weigh-ins going, what the fuck is he on?
Because Vitor is just like a fucking silverback.
din thomas
Just...
john rallo
I mean, dude, when he first came on the scene, he was like 220, had traps up to his ears.
joe rogan
When he first came on the scene, I was there for his first fight, UFC 12, in Dothan, Alabama.
And no one knew what to expect, because everybody thought that Vitor was a Carlson Gracie black belt, so they expected him to just be a jiu-jitsu guy.
But he came out with them Brazilian fucking model shorts on, and the MMA gloves, and just tuned up Trey Taylor.
john rallo
They called Victor Grappler.
joe rogan
Victor Gracie.
Yeah, that's what we called him back then.
We called him Victor.
I was at his school when he was training back then.
I was at Carlson Gracie's in 97. That's part of how the reason I got this gig.
din thomas
You know, it's funny.
I interviewed him once and he mentioned that you used to train there.
joe rogan
Yeah, I trained there in 96. That's when I started training there.
john rallo
Dude, when he killed Vanderlei in that fight.
joe rogan
Oh, yeah, man.
john rallo
Vanderlei was a savage, too, back then.
Just people didn't know yet.
joe rogan
He came out with wrestling shoes on.
john rallo
Yeah.
He came out, like, remember, he was, like, almost like he was freezing him.
He was in, like, Vanderlei was in waiting.
Avaro Romano, you know, the guy at Gymnastica Natural.
joe rogan
Yep, yep, yep.
john rallo
He used to be, like, I guess, part of the Carlson team.
And he said, like, Vanderlei was pissed because he thought Vitor was in the back trying to freeze him out.
And what Alvaro said was that Veeder was petrified, said he was in the back, was crying, and they had to make him go out there.
And then he went out there and machine-gunned Vanderlei across the cage like so crazy.
joe rogan
Vanderlei was terrifying.
din thomas
I heard that story, right?
So I had to, as a...
A journalist with integrity.
I had to ask him about it.
He said that he had stomach problems.
john rallo
Is he going to admit?
din thomas
That's the same thing I thought.
That's the same thing I thought.
But I had to ask him about it.
joe rogan
2013. So it was 2013. So it was 11 years ago.
They were juicing.
din thomas
Yeah.
That's crazy.
john rallo
We know something happened because he made an excuse.
din thomas
He had stomach problems.
joe rogan
How many years they had TRT for?
When did it start?
That's a question for Nowitzki, right?
matt serra
Dan Henderson was on that shit, right?
joe rogan
Yeah, but not for a while.
He was on later.
He was on a low dose of it.
When he got off it, he's one of the few guys that was basically the same guy when he got off of it.
He couldn't train as hard, I think he said, but he knocked out Hector Lombard after he got off of it.
That was post-TRT days.
He was still fucking people up.
Remember when he knocked out Fedor?
din thomas
Oh yeah!
joe rogan
Dan Henderson knocked out Fedor.
He ducked under, he snuck out the back door and hit him with an uppercut.
Boom!
Because Fedor had him rocked and he went down.
He was on his back and Fedor jumped on him.
He grabbed ahold of a single, snuck out the back.
din thomas
Boom!
joe rogan
And then just hammered him with that fucking Hendo right hand.
john rallo
The Bisping knockout was the craziest.
The craziest.
joe rogan
The craziest.
The flying punch, and that became his logo.
din thomas
I know.
john rallo
After watching Tuff and Bisping, you know, he's a...
Look, I like Michael Bisping, and he's an instigating motherfucker, and he was on him the whole time, so you almost were...
You know, at that point that Dan got his revenge.
joe rogan
Dan's an animal.
din thomas
But now I work with Bisping, man.
I like him a lot, man.
joe rogan
I love him.
din thomas
And I hate watching that clip, man, because I like him so much.
john rallo
Well, you don't want to see your boy get hurt.
joe rogan
It's rough watching a guy get hammered in the face after he's out cold, too.
That's a rough one.
john rallo
Yeah, that guy's...
I mean, I liked Bisping when he was on tough.
Like, when he came up, he was obviously a talented guy and wound up becoming a world champ.
matt serra
He's a solid guy.
joe rogan
Very solid guy.
matt serra
We should mention that he won that rematch.
I got fucking hiccups.
unidentified
He won the rematch versus Dan Anderson.
joe rogan
For the title.
When he was a champion.
matt serra
Did he have one eye at that point?
joe rogan
Yep, he had one eye at that point.
Well, how about the craziest one was when he beat Anderson and then he gets his mouthpiece knocked out.
He's pointing to the referee to get his mouthpiece back and Anderson hits him with a flying Was it Herb or was it John?
john rallo
At that point, it might have been her.
matt serra
I think it was her, but I think the fight wasn't over.
They had another round.
joe rogan
The fight was not over because Anderson thought he KO'd him.
He hit him with that flying knee and dropped him and walked away like it was a walkaway KO. And then the fight kept going.
matt serra
And he jumped on the cage.
joe rogan
Yes, that's right.
He thought it was over.
But meanwhile, Bisping was blind in one eye.
So Bisping, when he's pointing, To see where the fucking mouthpiece is.
He probably couldn't even fucking see it coming.
john rallo
He's probably looking for his goddamn eye.
joe rogan
Jesus, Rollo.
john rallo
How many fights?
He said he fought how many times with one eye?
joe rogan
And then he walks away And then he goes what the fuck?
I think he just said, what the fuck.
john rallo
Man, mentally too.
How do you come from that adrenaline dump?
joe rogan
Meanwhile, Bisping survived.
How tough is this motherfucker?
One eye and survives.
john rallo
He's a savage.
joe rogan
Crazy, right?
And by the way, that left eye that's fucked up, that's the good eye.
din thomas
That's the good eye.
joe rogan
That's the good eye.
That's the eye he can see out of.
And he comes back and he wins the fifth round, which is bananas, man.
Just fucking bananas.
matt serra
Even to win the title, Bisping had to beat Luke Rockhold.
And Luke Rockhold took him out the first time.
joe rogan
And he beat him on short notice.
There was another very short notice fight.
matt serra
One of my favorite moments is right before they were going to fight, Luke was going to him.
And he's like, what's that, buddy?
And he goes, like, he doesn't want to touch hands.
He's like, ah, touch you in a minute, motherfucker!
Okay.
Yeah, I'll touch you in a minute, motherfucker.
unidentified
He's hilarious.
john rallo
He's funny as shit.
matt serra
It was great.
john rallo
That was a wild victory.
He's entertaining.
joe rogan
He's a fun guy.
He's got an interesting perspective about this Mike Tyson, Jake Paul thing.
Because even though Bisping only has one eye, he's been trying to get Jake Paul to fight him, which is kind of crazy.
matt serra
It's a nice paycheck.
joe rogan
Would they allow that?
A guy with one eye to fight?
din thomas
I don't think so.
john rallo
They're allowing a 60-year-old guy to fight.
joe rogan
What do you think about this Mike Tyson, Jake Paul thing?
Do you think it's crazy?
john rallo
It's always hard to say because you know he has the ability to drop him on his ass at any time, but...
Look, I think all the rules are to his favor.
joe rogan
Are we getting tricked by watching pad work?
din thomas
We're getting tricked.
john rallo
I mean, that's a fact.
din thomas
But if you look at the pad work, it's little three to five second bursts.
joe rogan
Right.
din thomas
It's not one round.
If he was doing that in all one round, I'd go, oh.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah.
din thomas
But I mean, anybody could put that together.
joe rogan
Right, but also, he's just starting to train again.
But still.
But he's like day one, day two.
Those videos, he's literally saying day one.
matt serra
Here's the question.
How was this fight with Roy Jones?
I didn't see it.
How was it?
john rallo
I think they had an agreement.
joe rogan
Not to punch the head.
john rallo
Exactly.
He was told Roy would not fight him.
He wasn't trying to get hit in his head.
So they had a prearranged thing where he wasn't going to knock him out.
joe rogan
It looked like Mike was not trying to knock him out.
That's what it looked like.
The fight will be an exhibition, but it'll be real fight rules.
I think this is when he was on Hannity.
16-ounce gloves and only two minute rounds.
john rallo
That's to Mike's favor.
Two minute rounds for sure.
Because that was my biggest thing.
If he doesn't get him in the first couple rounds, what kind of gas is he going to have at his age?
joe rogan
I don't know.
See, here's the thing.
It's at his age with a lot of supplements.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah.
john rallo
Hey, look, I hope he wins.
God forbid.
joe rogan
I don't...
If it was just a regular 57-year-old dude with not modern hormone replacement and all that jazz, I'd go, he doesn't have a chance.
But 57 years old with just juice to the tits.
I don't know, man.
What are the rules?
What are the rules?
What are you allowed to do?
Because if you just allow him to do whatever he wants to do, it changes everything.
john rallo
I guess if it's an exhibition, no drug testing.
jamie vernon
Email response from the Texas Licensing Commission.
joe rogan
The promoter is requested to have an event that day.
We've not received any proposed cards and thus have no details of what they're planning.
And that will affect the possible rules.
All ballots are subject to review and approval by TDLR. Please let me know if you need any other information.
Okay.
So it's not necessarily carved in stone yet.
They might not approve it.
unidentified
Interesting.
joe rogan
If a lot of people protest, maybe they won't approve it.
john rallo
Are they doing it in Texas?
din thomas
I mean, they were trying to do it at AT&T Stadium.
Like, that's crazy.
joe rogan
If Tyson dies.
unidentified
Right.
Oh, my God.
joe rogan
Yeah, see, if you have something like that, if you have...
Look, if this...
john rallo
That'd be the end of the...
joe rogan
Right.
Let's imagine it in a different way, right?
Let's not imagine that Mike Tyson is fighting Jake Paul.
Let's imagine Mike Tyson is fighting some young, really powerful knockout artist who's a contender.
Well, guess what?
Jake Paul could be that guy if we didn't think of him as Jake Paul.
If you look at the people he knocks dead, when he knocked dead Tyron Woodley with one punch, that dude did fucking crack.
din thomas
Yeah, I mean, honestly, I'm saying exactly what you're saying.
We don't want to give him credit because it's Jake Paul.
joe rogan
Exactly.
din thomas
But we've got to wake up and realize that he's still 27, young, and for the last four, five, six, seven years, he's had the best coaches working with him one-on-one.
Now, we wouldn't be thinking that if it wasn't Jake Paul, that he couldn't do it.
joe rogan
Right.
din thomas
So you're right about that.
joe rogan
And he's dedicated.
din thomas
And he's dedicated.
joe rogan
And if he was just some wild young dude coming up, knocking people out, knocking out former MMA champions like Tyron, we would go, whoa, keep an eye on this kid.
This guy might be something someday.
Like, he's on the way up.
matt serra
Yeah, Tyson grew up in this sport, though.
joe rogan
100%, but he's also 57. And I think he's going to be 58. Yeah, he'll be 58 at the time he fights.
john rallo
Which is my question, too, is how do you think...
Jake Paul, all the guys he's fought are much smaller than him, whether people want to say so or not.
Ben Askren fought his whole life at 70.
Nate's 55 and 70 pounder.
Tyron's 70 pounder.
So this guy's walking around well over 200, cutting to 85 for these fights.
This is finally a dude...
Like, he didn't hurt, like, the Tommy Fury dude.
He didn't hurt Nate, really, during the fight.
I thought Nate's inactivity.
Like, he didn't really get busy in there.
joe rogan
Nate apparently had a fucked up shoulder going into the fight.
unidentified
All right.
john rallo
Well, then that would make sense, because he didn't really throw.
joe rogan
That's what I heard.
That might not be true.
john rallo
You know, so how's he going to handle, again, the age is the factor, but, you know, a big, strong...
matt serra
Two-minute rounds ain't bad.
john rallo
I'm saying.
joe rogan
Two-minute rounds aren't bad, and like I said, if they got him on the right fucking mixture...
din thomas
They're going to have to.
Even if he's just counting.
Or else they're going to be competitive, and they don't.
joe rogan
But if they do have him on the right mixture, how do you pass drug tests?
How does that work?
john rallo
I mean, is there a drug test on an exhibition?
joe rogan
I don't know.
That's a good question.
Because if there's not, ye fucking haw.
din thomas
Yeah, I know, right?
That's the only way.
Drugs is the only way I think he's competitive.
unidentified
Right.
joe rogan
Well, I mean, that's obvious.
If you just look at him, though, he has to be on some kind of hormone replacement.
john rallo
Yeah, Hunter.
He looks pretty yoked up right now, too.
joe rogan
He looks pretty yoked.
matt serra
What a comeback since The Hangover, huh?
I mean, right?
joe rogan
He got big for a while.
john rallo
Oh, yeah, yeah, when he was doing the one-man show and all.
matt serra
It sucks when you're fat.
You guys never really got fat.
joe rogan
Both Tysons on the podcast.
I had Tyson when he was big, when he wasn't training at all.
And I said to him, you don't work out at all.
He goes, I'm afraid I'll ignite my ego.
din thomas
Oh, man.
joe rogan
That's terrifying.
And that's what happened.
It ignited that thing inside of him.
john rallo
When he came back for the Roy...
It was two different interviews.
joe rogan
Two different humans.
john rallo
Yeah, 100%.
I agree with you.
joe rogan
Jamie was the first one to say it.
It's like a totally different person.
john rallo
Yeah, he was way more intense.
unidentified
Way more.
john rallo
You know what I mean?
joe rogan
Terrifying.
Probably.
john rallo
And you can imagine he's going to be in that mindset.
joe rogan
With all those Anastron's, dollar scenes.
din thomas
How do you say them again?
unidentified
Anastron.
matt serra
You got to be in that mindset, though, when you're getting ready to fight, though.
You're in a different mindset.
joe rogan
The thing is, if he's physically capable of recapturing 70% of what he used to do, just dealing with that, just dealing with that with probably 90% of the power...
70% of the physical ability and 90% of the power, because the power is not gone.
You see it when he hits a bag.
din thomas
Yeah, he's still got the power.
joe rogan
The power is there, 100%.
But he's had a bunch of back issues.
He had real bad sciatica.
john rallo
He had problems walking and stuff.
He's walking with a cane.
joe rogan
But who knows what they've done, stem cells.
I'm sure he's with the right people.
Even at 57, you can make a lot of money if Mike Tyson's fit and in shape, which is so crazy to say.
It's just weird that we're even talking about it.
john rallo
A hundred percent.
joe rogan
That the fucking guy from Disney is going to fight Mike Tyson, the YouTube kid.
din thomas
Yeah, I know.
john rallo
And the path to beat Mike always was long dudes that had a good jab later in his career when he wasn't moving his head anymore.
So I don't know if Jake can keep Mike off with his jab.
joe rogan
We're going to see.
din thomas
But Jake will grab him and wrangle him.
I mean, that's what he does good.
john rallo
He wrangles guys.
Tyson's people are going to be in the back saying, don't let him wrestle us.
matt serra
He'll be wrenching those fucking arms the way he used to.
He'll have to do some jujitsu in it.
joe rogan
If Tyson can have a flashback, To the glory days.
If there's just like a moment where he just sees a combination and empties it on him, that would be wild to watch.
din thomas
Yeah.
matt serra
For Jake to hurt him, he's got to be there to get hurt.
I know he's not exactly Muhammad Ali, you know?
Exactly.
joe rogan
And if Tyson can still move his head like he used to move his head.
Now, the thing about lower backs, though, if you've got a lower back problem, you've got to kind of save that movement.
You can only do it so many times before it's painful.
It all depends on the condition of his lower back.
Because you've got to think, Mike Tyson in his prime, go back and watch some of those early days.
He's just coming at you.
He's just moving.
There's just so much to calculate and bombs are coming your way and you're trying to hit him with jabs.
john rallo
The custom auto Tyson was the whole problem.
joe rogan
The head movement.
People forgot how hard he was to hit.
john rallo
His head movement was sick.
That's what stopped later in his career.
I mean, really, that was a big difference.
joe rogan
Exactly, and I think that coincided with back problems.
I just, and he also had neck problems.
I believe he had a neck surgery because, you know, he used to do a lot of those wrestler's bridges.
unidentified
Man, that guy's neck, dude.
joe rogan
Oh, my God.
And you've got to think of how many dudes like Lennox Lewis just teed off on his noggin.
Evander Holyfield just teeing off on his noggin.
What is that doing to your neck?
That can't be good.
din thomas
But my whole thing is this, man, like if what we saw with Vitor Belfort and Evander Holyfield, if that's any indication, and Vitor was 45. Right.
joe rogan
I know.
din thomas
So is Jake.
joe rogan
Yeah.
You think Jake is?
din thomas
Maybe.
joe rogan
Maybe.
din thomas
I mean, why wouldn't he be?
joe rogan
But he's also young.
din thomas
And he's still 27, right.
So maybe he's not, but either way.
joe rogan
He's got natural testosterone.
Yeah.
matt serra
Weren't you just shooting a movie?
joe rogan
What?
din thomas
That's right.
joe rogan
What'd you do?
din thomas
I'm shooting a movie.
joe rogan
With Denzel?
din thomas
No!
unidentified
What?
din thomas
I call him Denzel.
matt serra
What the fuck is that Denzel?
din thomas
Did you say Denzel?
No, I call myself Denzel.
Get my Denzel on.
That's an independent film I'm doing in LA right now.
joe rogan
Nice.
Don't get stabbed by any homeless people.
din thomas
Nah, man.
LA, I don't like LA. It's weird.
Yeah.
joe rogan
It's weird now.
din thomas
There's no optimism left in the city.
joe rogan
No, it's a city that's abandoned.
din thomas
Yeah.
john rallo
San Francisco.
joe rogan
It's a weird place.
Oh, they're all fucked.
And it happened so quick.
It makes me wonder, like, what is that going to be like in five years?
din thomas
Everybody got out of there, huh?
john rallo
Look how quick San Francisco got cleaned up.
joe rogan
When Xi Jinping came into town.
john rallo
When Xi Jinping showed up.
unidentified
Isn't it amazing?
john rallo
And then, bam, right back to it.
joe rogan
I was saying, if I was the mayor of San Francisco, I'd just buy that dude a condo.
Like, come stay.
Whenever you're here, they're going to clean the streets.
john rallo
All the problems are fixed, right.
joe rogan
This is going to fucking take care of them.
When he came into town for a conference, they cleaned up the streets.
john rallo
Everything.
joe rogan
Everything.
john rallo
They got rid of all the homeless people.
They put barriers up so they couldn't get up on there.
unidentified
Really?
joe rogan
Yeah, yeah.
Where they put the people.
Exactly.
What Gavin Newsom said that was so hilarious, he said, well, when guests come over, you clean up your house.
Like, bitch, keep your house clean.
unidentified
You got human shit all over the floor of your house.
joe rogan
This is crazy.
john rallo
He's a psychopath.
He can lie to your face without even blinking an eye.
joe rogan
It's so weird to watch him do it, too.
It's like 1980s Roadhouse Lion.
john rallo
For real.
joe rogan
You know, it's not even good.
matt serra
He's the one that got caught eating out.
unidentified
Yeah.
matt serra
He's like, well, I've been bad.
You got me or something like that.
He was like, you shouldn't really do that.
And I was, you know, my bad.
It's like, dude, you fucking slime.
joe rogan
He's so slick and he looks like a guy who could be president.
And we're dumb.
We're like, hey, I think he talks good.
john rallo
He looks like Christian Bale, an American psycho.
unidentified
He does.
joe rogan
He does.
But it's like, you know, if he says the right things and he talks the right way, look, Biden won.
john rallo
Say it with a smile and you're good.
joe rogan
Biden won and he's barely alive.
din thomas
So there you go.
joe rogan
And they're running him again.
matt serra
I'd rather have Terry Crews from Idiocracy.
joe rogan
Terry Crews could win right now if you ran with that wig on.
If you ran with that wig on, Terry Crews, everybody loves Terry Crews.
john rallo
They were watering their plants with Gatorade or whatever the drink was.
joe rogan
Bro, you want to know the wildest shit?
The Rock told me.
He told it on the podcast that they called him and contacted him about running for president?
john rallo
Yeah, I think so.
joe rogan
Wasn't it on the podcast?
Yeah, they contacted him and asked him if he wanted to run.
The Rock.
unidentified
What?
matt serra
That's idiocracy.
din thomas
I mean, for sure.
joe rogan
How about he could win?
din thomas
I know.
I would probably vote for him.
joe rogan
I would probably vote for him.
I mean, the dude is disciplined.
He's a good guy.
Jacked.
I want a jack president.
unidentified
I want a president where every other president has to step aside.
joe rogan
Bitch, The Rock is here.
The Rock Johnson details how a political party asked him to run for president.
Yeah, on my podcast.
It's hilarious.
Yeah.
Isn't that wild, dude?
Asked him to run for president.
You know it's for the Democrats, for sure.
din thomas
Yeah.
joe rogan
And if he did, where?
john rallo
I mean, he didn't first buy it before the last election.
There we go.
That is the president.
joe rogan
Come on, son.
If The Rock won and then came out like that.
john rallo
That was the name of it.
joe rogan
Imagine if The Rock won and came out with that outfit on.
matt serra
Can I just say, if anybody out there has not seen Idiocracy, they should watch that fucking movie.
joe rogan
Oh my God, it's so good.
It holds up.
matt serra
Mike Judge, though.
john rallo
He's a genius.
joe rogan
He's got animals in this.
Beavis and Butthead, everything.
Mike Judge is the man.
Office Space, King of the Hill.
He's the man.
Mike Judge is the man.
He's a great guy, too.
He lives out here.
matt serra
That's wild.
We had him on Unfiltered once, and the fact that he knew one of my fights, I get weird when people know, because I don't think anybody watches anything.
I don't get impressed with guys in Hollywood and stuff, but I fucking love Office Space.
unidentified
Yeah.
matt serra
And all this shit.
When I like somebody's work, I'm like, whoa.
joe rogan
No, he's just a regular dude.
He's a real cool guy.
He's a fan, like a real fan of MMA. He loves fights.
I met him years ago, too.
He's been coming to the fights for a long fucking time.
din thomas
And he comes to the fights, too?
joe rogan
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I met him at the fights.
The first time I ever met him.
john rallo
Was he a comedian as well, or was he just a writer?
joe rogan
I don't think he did stand-up.
I might be mistaken.
john rallo
He's pretty fucking funny.
joe rogan
I don't know.
He's a hilarious dude, though.
matt serra
And what's upsetting is these movies...
They become like cult classics.
I don't think Idiocracy or Office Space.
I might be wrong, but I don't think they made a lot of money.
But they are fucking classics if you see those movies.
joe rogan
Oh, I bet those movies made money.
matt serra
Do you think they made money?
joe rogan
I bet Office Space made money.
Yeah, I don't know about that.
Office Space was pretty big.
And then you've got to think about all the DVD sales and all the streaming sales.
john rallo
Well, that's the difference.
matt serra
I don't think it's made like a...
joe rogan
A big theatrical thing.
matt serra
I'm not sure.
I don't think it did.
I think it might have made it up on...
joe rogan
Damn, that's a funny movie.
john rallo
It is pretty funny.
joe rogan
That is such a good movie.
But those movies, you can't get them today.
They don't make them anymore.
They don't make those wild, insane, funny, something about Mary type movies.
din thomas
You can't.
joe rogan
No.
din thomas
Somebody's always going to get offended.
joe rogan
Something about Mary was...
Bro, I remember...
john rallo
Ben Stiller's put out quite a few of them.
Oh, yeah.
Dodgeball.
joe rogan
Tropic Thunder is one of the all-time great comics.
john rallo
I'm telling you.
joe rogan
Could not make it today.
matt serra
A lot of the humor was different back then.
You were allowed.
john rallo
You were allowed to joke about it.
joe rogan
You were allowed to actually be funny.
john rallo
It's about Ricky Bobby.
joe rogan
Yeah, man.
Goddamn it.
john rallo
Tom Cruise, use your witchcraft!
din thomas
They don't even make funny movies anymore.
joe rogan
It's such a judgmental world that we live in now.
Everybody's trying to attack things and take people down.
It's just so stupid.
matt serra
In the beginning of Hangover, your friends are so immature.
joe rogan
Ready?
matt serra
Paging Dr. Faggot.
He's sitting there like...
It's silly.
It's just silliness.
joe rogan
People need more silliness.
They do.
We all do.
That's why this is fun.
john rallo
That shit was great.
joe rogan
That's why the four of us get together.
So we need a name.
matt serra
Is the cuck sticking around at all?
john rallo
Is that gonna be it?
I have to be a cuck?
joe rogan
I think we can take that name.
matt serra
I think we're the fucking cucks.
joe rogan
Why not?
It's a funny thing to call yourself.
Just take that name.
matt serra
You know why?
Because you'd think we would come up with something toxic.
joe rogan
Yeah, like the Four Horsemen.
matt serra
But no, the Four Horsemen.
john rallo
Fuck you, Rugen.
unidentified
When you wrote that in the group text, I go, I'm going to wait until he says that in the studio.
joe rogan
The Bulldogs.
Yeah, what are we?
matt serra
I think the Cucks is a perfect...
joe rogan
Cucks is funny.
It's funny.
matt serra
It's like calling me tall or something.
joe rogan
Talking shit.
We're talking shit right from the jump.
You can't take a show seriously that's called Cucks.
unidentified
Yeah, right.
john rallo
Definitely not.
joe rogan
So I want to see that.
On an episode of the Joe Rogan Experience called Cucks.
din thomas
Yeah.
john rallo
What the fuck?
matt serra
You got the protect your parks, then you got the cucks.
joe rogan
I like it.
I like it.
So that's it for now.
We'll put a bookmark on it.
We'll have to think about it.
You might get home, wake up in the middle of the night and go, I can't be a cuck.
din thomas
No, no.
joe rogan
John Rollo's going to be the one texting us.
unidentified
Boys, let's rethink this.
joe rogan
The Four Horsemen has a ring to it.
din thomas
For the record, I'm all in on Cucks, for the record.
joe rogan
I feel like Cucks is it.
It came to me in a dream.
john rallo
Peer pressure.
matt serra
If it stays in here, it's fine.
At my school, if somebody goes, hey, Professor Cuck, I'm going to fuck you up.
unidentified
Somebody gets strangled.
din thomas
Somebody gets strangled.
unidentified
That's a fact.
matt serra
It's not happening.
But I like it, you know?
john rallo
That's good.

It's worth it.
matt serra
I'm going to watch it.
I watch the Yellowstone, but they get too much into the...
It's a good show.
john rallo
I like it.
matt serra
But then they do stuff just for the Midwestern people.
I don't give a fuck about that.
They play the hee-haw music, and they're like...
joe rogan
You want to watch the Yellowstone?
matt serra
I'm folding that shit.
1883. I watched it.
Oh, I watched that.
I watched 1883 and I watched 1923. They were both great.
I'm waiting for the next 1923 to come out.
You seen it?
unidentified
When the one gets back from Africa?
john rallo
Which one was the one?
joe rogan
It's really good.
john rallo
I mean, they're both good.
I thought that one was...
I like that one.
joe rogan
They're both great.
1883 is fucking amazing, too, but it's over when it's over.
john rallo
Taylor Sheridan?
joe rogan
Oh, yeah.
He's a great guy, too.
john rallo
Dude, Sicario is maybe one of the sickest movies of all time.
unidentified
That was depressing, though, the 1883. Yeah, but that's what life was like back then, man.
joe rogan
That was a brutal existence.
matt serra
Even in 1923, I like when they just start coming up with the refrigerator and shit.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Even the ones that are resisting it, they're like, well, I'm going to have to get one of those washing machines or something.
It's like just coming out.
They're like, look, I want to keep it to our traditions, but listen, I got to get that dishwasher.
It's like weird.
It's like when it's just coming out.
It's very cool.
joe rogan
Good shit.
