Speaker Time Text
joe rogan
Are we live?
unidentified
Boom.
joe rogan
Beautiful.
We don't need no fucking stinking music.
We don't need it, man.
bryan callen
We got us.
joe rogan
We got us.
bryan callen
Yeah.
joe rogan
We were just discussing referees letting guys get choked unconscious.
brendan schaub
So we need you to educate that dude from this previous weekend.
joe rogan
Yeah, I think some guys have never been choked out.
I think that's one thing.
Even if you don't have a martial arts background, you can be a referee.
You're aware of that, right?
bryan callen
You can be.
joe rogan
Yes, you can be a referee.
All you have to do is understand what's going on.
You take referee classes and you learn.
You can start out taking referee classes as a complete, total novice.
bryan callen
I think as a ref, you should have at least been choked out once and been knocked out once.
I mean, Herb Dean had a pro fight, I think.
joe rogan
Oh, he had several pro fights.
brendan schaub
Yeah, a couple.
joe rogan
And Herb Dean rolls all the time.
Herb Dean's a real martial artist.
bryan callen
So is Mario...
joe rogan
Yamasaki's a black belt.
So is John McCarthy.
He's a black belt in jiu-jitsu.
All those guys that we think.
So is Josh, who's in jail right now.
bryan callen
Josh is out.
unidentified
He's out.
brendan schaub
Pretty sure he's out.
joe rogan
Josh has a very high level brown belt.
brendan schaub
Even if you're a one-stripe white belt, you know what the hell's going on.
joe rogan
A little bit.
What are you doing?
brendan schaub
Especially on a rear naked choke.
It's not like it was a dars or something hidden you can't see.
joe rogan
Well, he was face up, too.
It was a rear naked face up.
So it wasn't like, you know...
Like, sometimes guys get choked out, and the guy's on top of them, and they have their back, and they got their belly down, and you can't see the guy's face.
But when the guy's face up, and you're looking at his eyes behind his head...
brendan schaub
What are you doing?
joe rogan
Yeah, he cues out for a couple seconds.
You know, sometimes people just don't make good decisions.
You know, they just...
They err.
It's not that they're bad people.
It's just they err.
It doesn't work.
And in that case...
Look, if I fuck up...
It's not good because a bunch of people are listening.
They want the show to be smooth and entertaining.
But if I fuck up, it's not that big a deal.
No one's getting hurt.
If this guy fucks up, someone's going to get choked to sleep that wouldn't get choked to sleep or someone's going to get beaten a few extra times.
bryan callen
Which can make a huge difference.
joe rogan
The beatings for sure.
brendan schaub
Well, good thing it was in a joint manipulation submission because then you're talking about someone's arm being broken instead of just getting choked out.
joe rogan
Well, in that situation, though, don't you let the guy fight out of it?
Like, I let a guy fight out of a full arm bar.
Because the way I would feel is that if his arm pops, that's on him.
And guys have gotten their arms popped in one fight to four.
Jon Jones got his fucking arm popped against Vitor.
Did he really?
Yes, he did.
Fuck yeah, he did.
He got his arm completely hyperextended.
bryan callen
Yeah, but then Vitor's whole body...
joe rogan
Dude, it was bad.
There's probably, well, if we play the video, there might be a picture of it, you can find an image of it, but at full extension.
It was completely hyperextended the other way.
And John's elbow was fucked up for a long time after that, because I remember he had to coach the ultimate fighter, and that's one of the things they said, like, well, this is good anyway, because he can't really train right now, because his elbow's fucked up from the Vitor fight.
So he went and tapped.
brendan schaub
That's probably the closest he's been to losing, huh?
Besides the decision with Alexander, but that's definitely the closest.
Most trouble he's been in.
joe rogan
For sure, for sure.
That was a bad, bad, bad, bad spot.
Vitor's a nasty dude.
You know, a lot of people are taking him for granted versus Weidman because of the whole TRT thing.
I don't fucking buy it, man.
I don't buy it for a second.
brendan schaub
He looks good in his pictures.
joe rogan
He looks way better than he used to.
Like, there was a period after he got off TRT where he deflated.
brendan schaub
When we saw him at the Zwaynes, he looked like a straight...
Welter weight.
joe rogan
Yeah, but it looks he looks a lot thicker now.
brendan schaub
Yeah, he looks way better.
joe rogan
So I know he's been doing a lot of They say that the way you have to jump start your system one of the big ways you do a lot of compound exercises like cleans and presses Because it forces your body to produce as testosterone and estrogen Yeah, yeah big big things like he was doing searcher squats Which is where you know you like it's almost like you do you put your hands together like you and make your arms like you're curling you put the bar and You hang it from your arms and you do your squats like that.
brendan schaub
They're tough, man, on your core?
joe rogan
Yes.
bryan callen
Yeah, I do them too.
joe rogan
So he's doing all that kind of crazy shit.
bryan callen
I don't.
joe rogan
So, you know, I'm hoping this is how it, uh, how he, this is one example of it.
bryan callen
But this gives you an idea how strong Jones is.
He's just so weird strong.
joe rogan
He's ridiculously strong.
bryan callen
Right.
joe rogan
But Vitor caught it at a perfect spot.
You know, he might have been able to win the fight if he didn't let up on it, but I think he let up on it when it popped.
He said he let up on it, and I believe him.
And then he got submitted.
Yep, he got Kimura'd.
John Kimura'd him.
I mean, after his arm got all fucked up.
So his right arm's all blown out, and he still uses it to Kimura him later on in the fight.
And then he's fucked up for a while after that fight.
That was one of the reasons why he coached The Ultimate Fighter.
Right there.
bryan callen
Well, Chael said he just wasn't training.
He'd walk by and Chael would be training twice a day, all full of sweat, and John would walk by crisp as clean, just nice and showered.
He's like, what is he training?
Maybe he wasn't.
joe rogan
He wasn't.
brendan schaub
He wasn't.
Yeah, Chael said that's when he realized that he's just not as good as John.
bryan callen
He said he got in there.
Yeah, he said 30 seconds in, he goes, I wanted to get out of that ring so fast.
He goes, I just couldn't believe how strong he was.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
John Jones is no goddamn joke.
brendan schaub
No.
joe rogan
Now think about him and then think about what Anthony Rumble Johnson versus him is going to be like.
Like that's going to be the most chaotic goddamn fight.
unidentified
Insane.
joe rogan
That's my number one fight all time.
unidentified
Really?
brendan schaub
All time?
joe rogan
Yep.
brendan schaub
Dang.
That really escalated.
bryan callen
You think why?
Because he's got such knockout power and if John makes a mistake?
joe rogan
Uh-huh.
And because I've been thinking about it.
I've been thinking about all the great matchups.
There's been some great matchups, you know, for sure.
Like BJ Penn versus George St. Pierre when it first happened.
God damn, that was a big build-up.
Big matchup.
Chuck Liddell vs.
unidentified
Tito.
joe rogan
But those, I had a pretty good sense of what was going to happen.
I had a pretty good sense that GSP was too big.
I think GSP was too big.
He was too hot.
His wrestling was too good.
And I knew that BJ just didn't...
That was before the Marinovichs.
He didn't have that work ethic that he had.
For a very short period of time, when BJ was in just insane shape, like the Sean Shirk fight, he was in insane shape.
That was actually before that.
But he was in insane shape for that fight.
The Diego Sanchez fight, he was a destroyer.
Kenny Floyd, yeah.
Who else?
There was a couple other fights that he had.
One, he was in the best shape ever as a lightweight.
You know, but when he fought George, I was like, George is just too big.
This is just not the right fight.
brendan schaub
So this is, for you, this is the biggest fight ever.
joe rogan
To me, this is the one where I don't know what the fuck...
First of all, I think John is the greatest light heavyweight champ of all time.
brendan schaub
Ever.
Yes, I agree.
joe rogan
And I think he's also still growing and getting better.
brendan schaub
That's what's scary.
joe rogan
Spectacular talent.
brendan schaub
Because he just moved his entire...
Camp to Albuquerque because he used to live in New York.
Now he bought a place in Albuquerque and he's training full time now.
He was just going to Albuquerque for camps.
unidentified
Huh?
brendan schaub
Think how crazy that's going to be.
joe rogan
Yeah, it's incredible.
bryan callen
The question becomes after he beats Anthony Rumble Johnson.
brendan schaub
Kane.
joe rogan
That's where he's going to go, right?
The question is if.
It's not after.
Because I don't know what the fuck is going to happen when Anthony Rumble Johnson puts mitts on you.
I don't know who's going to be able to withstand that.
brendan schaub
See, the problem is John is so much longer, and the reach is a factor.
Listen, I thought Glover was going to be an issue for him boxing.
Offered nothing.
Because of that length, it's tough to deal with, man.
joe rogan
Glover is very good.
I think Glover is like at a possible stand-up challengers.
When I was looking at him coming in against John, I was like, he's got really heavy hands.
Especially at the time.
Especially at the time.
Well, he took a step back.
He's not training with...
He wasn't training with Hackleman for this last fight.
He did it all in Connecticut.
brendan schaub
Yeah, in his own camp.
joe rogan
Yeah, he had his own camp that he did down there.
A lot of people thought maybe he wasn't prepared as well.
brendan schaub
When he fought John, though, there was a ton of hype in the UFC. I'm like, this is the guy.
Chuck Liddell signed off on it.
Dana White.
joe rogan
I felt like it.
I feel like guys are as good as they are in their best performances.
If you look at him, his best performance, he gets clipped by Ryan Bader and seconds later he puts Bader away.
brendan schaub
Yeah.
joe rogan
You know, you look at the way he beat up Kyle Kingsbury.
That was a scary goddamn fight.
The Kyle Kingsbury fight was scary.
He just came out and he shows you what the fuck he could do.
brendan schaub
True.
joe rogan
And you're like, whoa.
And you know that Kyle Kingsbury, who's a very good athlete and a really cool guy, wasn't at the best of the best.
He wasn't at that level, right?
You know, he was dominated by...
brendan schaub
Pat Cummins.
joe rogan
Pat Cummins recently.
Recently, yeah.
So, you know, there's levels.
And then, you know, Rumble Johnson has bad times at 170, but you've got to think that a lot of that had to do with him starving himself.
bryan callen
I'm sure.
joe rogan
And when you're looking at him as a light heavyweight, you know, the way he fucking destroyed Nogueira, I was just like, Jesus.
And then taking out Gustafson like that in the first round.
bryan callen
Although I wonder, because he did headbutt Gustafson and Gustafson fell to his knees.
It makes you wonder at that point, because...
I mean, Gustav's still a killer.
And I don't know.
We just didn't get a chance to really see it.
joe rogan
Definitely a factor.
But it should be a factor for both men, right?
I mean, they're hitting each other with their heads.
brendan schaub
But I feel like every time John has a new opponent, it's like, oh, this is it.
This is the one.
Look at DC. I legitimately thought DC was probably going to beat him in a decision.
Three to two.
I thought he had the perfect setup, the perfect pedigree to beat John Jones.
And then, I mean, John destroyed.
joe rogan
He picked him up by the hips.
brendan schaub
It really wasn't that close of a fight.
So then now it's like, oh, here's Anthony Johnson.
And I love Anthony.
He's a monster.
But I feel like we go through this every time.
joe rogan
Well, we do.
brendan schaub
Until he fights Kane, I think once he does, and that's going to happen, I bet.
When he fights Kane, now we're talking.
joe rogan
Well, I think Kane has to stay healthy.
I think he beats Kane.
Really?
He might.
You never know, man.
Look, he might very well beat Johnson.
It might be very well one of those things you look back on it in hindsight.
And you say, well, you know, maybe I should have figured that this could have happened or that John would have an advantage here.
But...
Dude, when I watch that dude lay mitts on people, I'm telling you.
brendan schaub
He's the hardest hitter at 205. Hands down.
joe rogan
A lot of shit can happen when that guy's hitting you.
brendan schaub
I agree.
bryan callen
I don't think that John Jones is hearing a peep out of him wrestling-wise, though.
I think John Jones will dominate.
I mean, if he grabs him, holds on to him, he seems to dominate everybody.
joe rogan
This is why you should shut the fuck up.
Did you see him fight Phil Davis?
The sprawls he hit Phil Davis with, ferocious sprawls.
unidentified
Did you see what he did to a two-time Olympian?
joe rogan
Phil Davis is a very high-level wrestler.
bryan callen
Not like Daniel Cormier.
Daniel Cormier is a two-time Olympian.
That's true, but fitness-wise.
Sure, but Jones literally, I couldn't believe, he picked him up by the hips.
Boom!
Dumped him.
Dumped him again.
Just out-wrestled him.
And Cormier said, this guy is so much bigger than you think when he's hanging on you.
Whether it's leverage or whatever.
And Daniel Cormier is a guy who picks up heavyweights and throws them on their head like, what's his name?
brendan schaub
Josh Barnett.
joe rogan
No doubt.
Look, Cormier wasn't a good matchup for him.
Jon figured out right away that he could take him down.
Once he took him down in the first round, I was like, holy shit.
brendan schaub
Yeah, once that happened with the other guy.
joe rogan
Yeah, holy shit.
unidentified
Jesus.
joe rogan
Yeah, that's a goddamn wake-up problem.
bryan callen
All anybody who knew a lot about wrestling said is, there's no question that Jones is going to be on his back when Cormier grabs him.
joe rogan
Guess what?
You know what?
When you got a guy who's super fucking talented and his big derailment is a family.
I mean, that's what happened.
He had a kid and then we got out of competitive wrestling because he had to feed his family.
But if he had gone on...
unidentified
What I'm seeing out of this guy, like, wrestling with people, he would have been a very...
brendan schaub
He was a JUCO national champion.
joe rogan
JUCO national champion.
brendan schaub
Which is no punk, man.
joe rogan
No, not at all.
What is JUCO? Junior college national champion.
But I think, like, he would have given people fits as a wrestler.
I mean, anybody in the world, he would have given them fits.
Oh, yeah.
I think it would have all been dedicated, or how much time he dedicated to it, how much energy he did.
But if he was in a situation where he could train 100% enough to support his family, he would have been a seriously world-class amateur wrestler.
brendan schaub
If not the best, especially in his weight class.
You look at what he's doing in the UFC. If he decided to focus on wrestling, he would be the best.
joe rogan
He's a fucking stud.
brendan schaub
With his mentality, man.
joe rogan
And then, you know, you look at what Johnson's been able to do when he hits people, man.
John doesn't do that.
There's a difference between the way John hits people.
John fucks people up, make no mistake about it.
brendan schaub
John's fought tougher guys, though.
joe rogan
Fuck yeah, he has.
At 205. 100% he has.
John's fought everybody.
brendan schaub
Jon fought everyone.
Jon fights a little nog.
It's not going to be pretty.
joe rogan
No, it'll be ugly as fuck, especially now.
He'll be so confident coming into it now.
But, you know, if you fought him back when Noguera gave, like, let's think about his best performance in the Octagon.
unidentified
Brills?
brendan schaub
Maybe.
joe rogan
Brills.
brendan schaub
Rashad?
joe rogan
Rashad was a good one.
Rashad was a good one because he shut him down with his boxing.
And Rashad was tentative, afraid to commit.
People don't realize Little Nog was a national champion in Brazil.
He medaled as an amateur boxer.
bryan callen
Wow.
joe rogan
Yeah, he medaled in like the Pan Am games or something like that.
No, he's legit.
brendan schaub
Super legit, Boston.
joe rogan
But Rumble at that stage, like Rumble's coming up, Little Nog is getting older.
brendan schaub
I was in the dressing room while Little Nog was warm up because I was corning Pat Cummings against Kingsbury in Sacramento, I think.
San Francisco.
Anyways, Little Nog was warming up and I'm telling you, man, I was like, oh no.
Someone should stop him from going out there.
He couldn't even hit the mitts.
He couldn't hit the mitts.
He was so stiff.
bryan callen
Jesus.
brendan schaub
He just sat there until Burt said his name and then he started going.
joe rogan
A lot of those guys, by the time they get to a certain age, their bodies have gone through so much trauma, so much physical trauma, so much damage, so many kicks, so many punches, so many takedowns.
There's just micro injuries everywhere.
brendan schaub
And they're not that old.
joe rogan
No.
brendan schaub
Him and his brother are not that old.
joe rogan
They had ferocious, especially his brother, had ferocious wars.
bryan callen
Brother, that fight with Bob Sapp.
Oh, my God.
joe rogan
He was never the same after that fight.
His neck was always fucked up after that fight.
If you watch that fight, it's hard to believe he got through that.
unidentified
I know.
joe rogan
He got pile-drived by a 300-plus pound gigantic super athlete.
brendan schaub
They offered him the fight again.
He was like, no, I beat him.
joe rogan
Again?
brendan schaub
Yeah, and he was like, it doesn't make sense.
I'd never fight a guy that big again.
joe rogan
He'd break his back, man.
He could have broken his back.
Dude, he pile-drived him.
I mean...
brendan schaub
Just an all-natural Bob Sapp.
Just fresh off those ears.
Are you being sarcastic?
joe rogan
Dude, you're gonna get us written up in MMA magazines again.
This would be the number one story.
Come on!
Brendan Schaub says Bob Sapp was on steroids.
bryan callen
That's an outrage?
joe rogan
That's ridiculous.
This is outrageous.
I should probably address this Fedor thing because people keep bringing it up.
First of all, I think it's weird that every time we have a podcast and we just talk shit, it becomes like stories.
brendan schaub
We get in trouble.
joe rogan
Yeah, it's hilarious.
They're stories.
And one of them was that I said that it was highly possible that Fedor could have been on performance-enhancing drugs.
I'm not saying that because he was cheating and everybody else wasn't.
When I say that, I'm just saying it only based on the environment that guy was competing in.
Where you looked at the contracts and said specifically, we do not test for steroids.
Does that mean that anybody's on steroids?
No, it absolutely doesn't mean it.
But it doesn't mean the possibility is there.
If Fedor comes out and he says, I never took steroids, this is a fact, I have no reason to disbelieve him.
But we look at the environment that that guy was competing in, and there's no doubt about it.
We just brought up Bob Sapp.
He's the major one.
He's the number one major one.
There's the best evidence you ever need that no one's testing anybody.
brendan schaub
Come on!
joe rogan
Not even a human.
375. 375 with abs.
brendan schaub
6% body fat or something like that.
joe rogan
Ridiculous, silly jack.
Beat Ernesto Hoos that way.
One of the greatest kickboxers of all time.
bryan callen
Those uppercuts jumping in the air.
joe rogan
Just smashing with muscle and just test and D-ball and whatever the fuck else was in his veins.
It's like, there was a lot of guys that were doing stuff back then.
If you talk to the people that competed, even people that are clean, they'll tell you, man, I saw dudes that I know for a fact were doing shit.
I know a good percentage of what we're doing.
It might not have been Fedor.
unidentified
It's very possible.
brendan schaub
Yeah, but it's not crazy to assume that.
It's not ridiculous to assume that.
joe rogan
So, first of all, the big important point, it wasn't even cheating.
It's only cheating by our laws.
We're calling cheating by United States laws.
They didn't even have it in their contract.
Like, it said in the contract, we're not going to test for steroids.
They're telling you you can do whatever you want.
bryan callen
Which basically says, yeah.
joe rogan
So it's like, let's put it in perspective with this whole Tour de France thing.
The big argument, Bill Burr had a hilarious segment on Conan talking about it, is like, everybody was on Juice.
That it's a dirty sport.
That our psychopaths beat your psychopaths.
But everyone's cheating.
And he's right.
He's right.
If everyone just admitted what they were doing, then we would just be able to deal with it on the fact, well, to do that bike race, you need to have all this shit in your system.
That's the only way these guys could do it.
We could tell kids that.
Don't feel inadequate next to this fuck guy.
bryan callen
He's got scientists working for him.
joe rogan
Because this fuck guy's got EPO in his veins, and we should tell people this is the only way they can do this and compete.
But we make sure that their levels don't get above a safe amount, and then you let them compete that way.
There's a lot of people that feel like that.
You have such a dirty sport.
Whereas when Armstrong had to give his shit back, and they'd go back to people.
unidentified
15th place.
joe rogan
Yeah, it was like 15th place, the guy who didn't test positive for something.
brendan schaub
So it's basically a level playing field.
joe rogan
It's basically a level playing field.
Exactly.
They're all cheating.
It's just who's better at hiding than cheating?
Who's got a better team behind them?
I don't think that's necessarily the case with fighting.
Like I've said, I would bet a million dollars if BJ Penn never took shit.
I bet a million dollars.
unidentified
I agree.
joe rogan
He's the guy.
There's a lot of other guys I think if they got injured, like this is Anderson's thing.
He's saying that he took it because he was injured and he was trying to heal his leg.
You still can't do it because it's illegal.
Like, you can't.
It's not in the rules because, first of all, they've shown that if you do take it, I believe that you're only taking it to heal your leg.
Don't get me wrong.
But if you allow people that sort of loophole, there's certain steroids that you can take that they alter your body permanently.
Like you're gonna take steroids that they've done tests on these and it might be a small amount and that small amount might be Not even close to like the advantage that someone like has John like John Jones has over someone like Eddie Brill You know what I mean?
Like just insane genetics, insane athleticism Like even if you do take steroids and you keep a little bit of it, bitch, you're still not as...
He's naturally stronger than you.
Like you're fucksville with nothing.
With no drugs, he's way stronger than you.
So you're fucked.
But you can't let that be something that everybody does.
bryan callen
Because you'd have to define what an injury is now.
Suddenly people would all have injuries.
joe rogan
Well, not only that, people would do it in the offseason and put on crazy strength.
brendan schaub
And Americans would hate you.
The world would hate the sport if they knew everyone was We're cheating and roided to the gills.
It's just not pure.
People won't assume their heroes and the guys they see on TV, or gals, are supplement-free.
joe rogan
Yeah, and if we got to a point where everyone is doing...
It's all obvious they do it.
It's listed in their stats.
He takes 15 milliliters of this fucking chemical.
Can you imagine?
Dioxymacathate.
And he tells the whole stack that he's on.
And it's all about getting the right stack.
bryan callen
But it raises a very important question, which is, as we are pushing way beyond our biology, and it's becoming exponential, and so you're going to have high school kids, like Ray Kurzweil says, who can inject themselves with tiny little robots, like red blood cells, that basically oxygenate your blood.
They can sprint for an hour.
brendan schaub
Robots.
Brian told me the other day that they have technology to create bulletproof flying dragons.
bryan callen
No, I was just saying synthetic biology.
joe rogan
They probably do.
We're all fucked, man.
I mean, we're probably 100 years away from them being able to create organisms.
bryan callen
Whatever you can come up with.
Craig Venter says 25 years.
joe rogan
He's probably smarter than me, so I'll go with what that guy says.
bryan callen
The point is that you're getting to a point where biology and technology is just getting to a...
How do you deny it?
You're going to gene dope and do all this stuff.
So then what does that mean?
When you're competing against another guy, is it actually like race cars?
Race cars have a whole team of mechanics that work on that engine.
joe rogan
But like race cars, you have a very specific amount of cubic inches you're allowed to have.
unidentified
That's true.
joe rogan
There's a limit to it.
There's a limit to horsepower.
That's very true.
So it's all about the skill of the driver.
Like the sophistication of the team that puts it together.
I mean, they have to adjust the suspension, calibrate the dampers, make sure that everything's correct as far as the weight balance and all this other jazz, and they build a solid engine.
But the engine has to be like, you know, whatever it is, 500 horsepower.
You can't...
brendan schaub
And here's a little news flash for you.
If every girl in the division at 135 took steroids, they're still not beating Ronda.
You could be juiced to the gills and you're not beating Ronda.
Guys at 205, juice all you want.
You're not beating Jon Jones.
It's just not going to happen, man.
joe rogan
Right?
Isn't that strange?
There's guys that, and by the way, that might have been Fedor.
It's very possible.
True.
And when I say this, I have a few all-time favorite fighters.
Brendan Schaub, of course, because he's my friend.
Yes.
bryan callen
You never saw me do time.
I don't know.
joe rogan
Well, I did some video, I guess.
bryan callen
Okay, we'll show you.
We'll get to that.
joe rogan
But the top two, there's maybe like three or four that are interchangeable.
And one of them is Vandalay, just because every fight was chaos.
I'll be a Vandalay Silva fan to the day I died.
That motherfucker was a maniac.
In Pride, when he fought Rampage, and he's standing in front of him, like bobbing his head back and forth, a fucking stare down.
Do this fucking thing.
bryan callen
Axe murder.
joe rogan
The wiggle, the gloves.
Dude, I can very clearly remember Eddie Bravo and I sitting in my living room, cross-legged on the couch, hands sweaty, when Vandelay was about to fight Rampage.
It was a fight, son, man.
bryan callen
It was a fucking war!
Couple of balls of estrogen.
joe rogan
It was war!
Goddamn, he was good.
Goddamn, he was chaotic.
He was just so ferocious.
So he will always have a special place in my heart.
But then when it comes to technicians, there's two guys that are interchangeable.
It's Anderson and Fedor.
Those are my two favorite technicians.
brendan schaub
Anderson fell out of my top because of the steroids.
joe rogan
I give him a break.
You give him a break.
I give him a break on his past performances.
I give him a break on the spectacular knockouts like the Vitor Belfort front kick to the face, choking out Dan Henderson when Dan was dropping bombs out people.
I give him a break.
You know, before his chin went.
Before the Weidman fight, when Weidman caught him, Weidman fucking hurt him, dude.
He hurt him bad.
And if you watch that second fight, it just does not look like he takes the same punch that he did in the first fight.
During the clinch, he gets clipped and he goes down.
And I look at him, I go, man, here's a guy who's struggling.
Like, this is the end of the career.
He's 39. This is how we look at athletes.
You know, I mean, there's the reality, if you're gonna be natural, there's the reality of athletes.
They get to a certain point, especially after a few knockouts, and they're 39 years old.
Like, that's what you're looking at, man.
You're looking at the deterioration of the master.
And at one point in time, Anderson was the fucking master, to say anything else.
brendan schaub
The best I've ever seen.
unidentified
Just ridiculous.
joe rogan
He's the best.
bryan callen
Finished everybody.
joe rogan
As far as performances, I look at the way he put guys away too, like the Stefan Bonner fight.
Like, Jesus fucking Christ.
He did it like he's a magician.
He's standing with his back up against a cage.
bryan callen
Waved him over.
joe rogan
Waved him over.
And then when he decides it's time to attack, crushes him with one knee to the solar plexus.
brendan schaub
Imagine the confidence you have to have to do that.
bryan callen
Bonner's huge too.
joe rogan
Bonner's 6'4", 235. Was on Juice.
Bonner tested positive.
brendan schaub
Yeah, he tested positive.
joe rogan
I mean, obviously Bonner's not the best example.
I mean, he's not the best fighter that Anderson, no disrespect, he's not the best fighter that Anderson's faced.
But you look at what he did to Rich Franklin.
Rich Franklin's a tough motherfucker, man.
Look at Rich Franklin with Chuck Liddell.
bryan callen
How about Forrest Griffith?
joe rogan
But do you think the Rich Franklin that fought Chuck Liddell was better than the Rich Franklin that fought Anderson?
Because I don't.
brendan schaub
No.
There's no way.
joe rogan
No.
So the Anderson that fought Rich Franklin, he fought the best Rich Franklin ever and just ran through him.
Stood in front of him, dropped his hands, and let him throw kicks at him.
In a fucking championship fight!
unidentified
In a world championship fight, his hands are down, the guy's throwing kicks at his head.
joe rogan
And he's bobbing and weaving like it's not even happening.
brendan schaub
So you got Anderson over Fedor.
joe rogan
I got Anderson overall.
I have Anderson over everyone.
Always.
brendan schaub
He's your favorite.
joe rogan
He's my number one.
Anderson's my favorite.
bryan callen
Has to be.
brendan schaub
He doesn't have to be.
bryan callen
Who's your favorite?
joe rogan
Well, this is just my opinion.
This is my opinion.
And in that mix, in that mix of those great guys is Anderson and in Fedor.
I say Anderson overall, but I've had some fantastic enjoyment watching Fedor fights.
Like what I'm saying and what I said about it being Possible that someone might have done performance enhancing drugs.
It's not an accusation I'm just highlighting the reality of the environment that they were competing in That's it as far as my respect for him as an athlete as a fighter.
I'm a huge huge fan of that guy.
I've always been a huge fan There's a video of me on YouTube with that huge UFC hated because I was talking about what a bad motherfucker He is this what he's fighting for the other organization It's a highlight video of me just ranting about what a bad motherfucker he is.
Like, I've always thought he was amazing.
unidentified
But I have to be honest.
joe rogan
I'm honest about everything.
And even if it could be possibly perceived to be disrespectful, it's not my intention.
My intention is to look at the reality.
I don't know whether or not someone took a performance-enhancing drug.
I don't know.
I have no idea.
I could take a wild guess.
But it's all bullshit.
Unless I see it or unless we know for sure because someone tested positive.
bryan callen
Or his traps are ridiculously large.
joe rogan
Well, even then.
There's some dudes that are just built a certain way.
brendan schaub
To assume that, though, it's not crazy.
No one should write a story about you assuming that.
unidentified
Exactly.
brendan schaub
That's like assuming I'm the only one that tans in here.
I'm brown as shit.
You guys are white.
joe rogan
You know what I'm saying?
brendan schaub
It's not ridiculous to assume I tan.
joe rogan
You know Dimitri.
Yeah.
Dimitri's Ukrainian.
Yep.
And he's built like a brick fucking shithouse.
unidentified
He really is.
joe rogan
This dude and I have been friends since we were like 15. We competed together.
We were in the same taekwondo team.
We tried.
He was the heavyweight.
I sparted that dude all the time.
brendan schaub
You probably know him, Brian.
joe rogan
You're on the same I didn't I couldn't actually I like missed a national tournament once because he kicked my shin and snapped my fucking not the tibia the fit which the fibula or the tibia tibia is the fat one the fibula yeah the painful one he was a he's a my point is he's a stone that motherfucker never did anything I know he never did anything we're friends we're friends back when he's competing I mean they didn't test anybody back then like they tested you if you got to the Olympics in Taekwondo you would know I don't know if he was on something.
He wasn't on shit.
I know he wasn't on shit.
unidentified
But if you looked at him, you would have got guys juicing the tits.
brendan schaub
You can't do that.
And I wish the public could meet certain athletes where it's like, no, these people are actually born different than you.
You meet Tim Tebow.
You see Tim, and it's just like, he won't take protein powder he's worried about.
Ronda Rousey, you hang out with Ronda?
No.
She does nothing.
And she's just built different than us.
She's just a freak.
joe rogan
Brock was at the UFC this weekend, and I shook his hands, and he picked me up in the air with a handshake.
bryan callen
What do you mean?
joe rogan
And I'm not bullshitting, dude.
He picked me up in the air with a fucking handshake.
I go, what's up, big man?
I clapped hands with him, and all of a sudden I was in the air.
bryan callen
Come on!
joe rogan
Dude, I'm not fucking around.
He's a monster.
He's a monster.
I mean, he kind of touched me with his left hand while he picked me up, but most of it was just him sack of potato in me.
bryan callen
Just a giant hand.
joe rogan
Just giant.
My hand disappeared.
It was like a laptop.
It was like shaking hands with a laptop.
bryan callen
That's like Shane Carlin who picked me up and started to squeeze me.
You were there.
And I was like, oh, I was tapping.
And he goes, I just hear in my ear, that's 20%, bro.
brendan schaub
Dude, Shane.
bryan callen
He squeezed my body.
brendan schaub
Shane, we'd be on his boat.
His hand's so big, we'd be on his boat.
And I'd be like, hey, Shane, you need any other berries?
He's like, I got one, brother.
Peel his hand back.
I'm like, damn, bro.
joe rogan
You can't fuck with that kind of genetics.
You just can't fuck with that kind of genetics.
It's just guys that are just too big.
brendan schaub
And I wish people could hang around with athletes of this caliber.
It's like, no, I'm telling you, they're just built different.
No matter what you ever do, you're never going to be on the same plane.
bryan callen
Make sure ain't equal.
joe rogan
Mike Tyson in his prime.
I mean, just get the fuck out of here.
He didn't even do shit.
All he was doing was working out.
He was getting out.
I run at 530 in the morning because it's dark out and I always assume that my opponent's still sleeping and that gives me extra strength.
I feel confident.
He's fucking running.
Just fucking diesel.
unidentified
Diesel, square-headed, destroying machine.
bryan callen
Incredible.
joe rogan
Fast twitch muscle, fiber, and angst.
And finally in his life, he's become special after years of neglect.
And that special talent is knocking motherfuckers out.
brendan schaub
And a hundred mil in the bank.
Can you imagine him in his heyday?
bryan callen
He had four hundred mil, I believe.
joe rogan
God, Jesus.
bryan callen
At one point, then lost it all.
joe rogan
Well, I don't think he all had it all at one point.
unidentified
No.
joe rogan
I don't think he had 400 million in the back.
I think that's like his total that he pissed away over his life.
bryan callen
That's a lot of money.
joe rogan
Oh, yeah.
He had tigers.
Charlie Murphy was on my podcast and told a story about Mike Tyson and a fucking tiger.
There's a video of it.
Pull the video of it.
Somebody made a video.
Find out who the video was made by.
Some fan did it.
He did an animation of Mike Tyson and his fucking tiger.
bryan callen
He's got tigers.
joe rogan
Charlie Murphy pulls up and no one wants to get out of the limousine.
They're all sitting there.
unidentified
Mike Tyson's house.
joe rogan
This is when his brother Eddie Murphy was fucking gigantic.
You know, he still is.
But when Charlie, people didn't know who Charlie was.
Charlie was hanging out with his brother, who was friends with Mike.
bryan callen
Are they close?
They're pretty close those two?
joe rogan
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They're close.
I ran into them just totally randomly in Maui.
Really?
It was the coolest shit ever.
unidentified
Both of them?
joe rogan
Yeah.
I was at the counter checking into a hotel, and his cousin Rich was there.
I was like, what's up, Rich?
What are you doing, man?
Because we went on that tour together, the Maxim-Condy tour.
bryan callen
Right.
joe rogan
He goes, oh, shit, man.
What's up?
bryan callen
Charlie's here.
Eddie's here.
joe rogan
I go, no way.
So I went and hung out with Charlie, and I sat down with Eddie Murphy.
I was sitting down with Eddie Murphy having lunch.
Cool, dude.
unidentified
It's pretty cool, man.
Funny dude.
joe rogan
He's the nicest guy.
He's a good guy, man.
He's so nice.
brendan schaub
Charlie's a stand-up guy, right?
joe rogan
Charlie is a fucking prince of a human being.
bryan callen
Really?
joe rogan
He's a gem.
I love that guy.
bryan callen
That's good to hear, man.
joe rogan
He's such a good dude.
I hung out with that dude.
We did 22 shows together, and I liked him more every night.
bryan callen
Wow.
joe rogan
He's just a solid stand-up dude.
Charlie Murphy is a great guy.
bryan callen
Where are they from, those two?
joe rogan
New York.
Charlie Murphy's a legit martial artist, too.
brendan schaub
Oh, really?
joe rogan
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
He's a legit black belt in karate.
Yeah.
Yeah, he fought in, like, points tournaments and shit back in the day, but he's well immersed in martial arts.
Like, you talk to him about martial arts.
brendan schaub
He just recently got pretty popular, right?
Well, not recently, but because of the Dave Chappelle show, he was on there.
But before then, it's like, oh, cool, Charlie Murphy.
You know what I'm saying?
bryan callen
I think his dad was a boxer, and Eddie Murphy works out.
He boxes.
I don't know if he spars.
joe rogan
Does he?
bryan callen
Yeah, but his dad was like, I don't think he was a pro, but I think his dad was pretty close.
joe rogan
Well, I don't know, but I know that Charlie's been doing martial arts since he was young.
We had some great conversations about it, but just about everything, man.
He's just one of those dudes that you listen to him, like you want to hear him talk.
brendan schaub
He has great stories, man.
Could there be anyone bigger than Eddie Murphy at the time in his heyday?
Eddie Murphy was so big.
bryan callen
Yeah, that donkey on, what is it, is it Shrek?
I think he made, well, the movie made.
He's done a lot.
brendan schaub
He's done a lot.
bryan callen
He's done fucking Shrek?
joe rogan
Coming to America?
unidentified
The voice of Shrek?
brendan schaub
Are you a terrorist?
bryan callen
No, he's the Shrek.
He's the donkey.
unidentified
Who are you?
bryan callen
He's the donkey.
joe rogan
Were you living in Saudi Arabia when all this shit was going on?
bryan callen
No, I know who he is.
brendan schaub
Coming to America?
joe rogan
You know who he is?
No, he's huge.
bryan callen
He's huge.
I'm saying Shrek the donkey is where he made a ton.
He made $13 million in a day or something.
joe rogan
Yeah, I need to hit the brakes real quick.
Can you name me one of Eddie Murphy's stand-up comedy specials?
bryan callen
Raw, which I saw live.
You saw live?
joe rogan
You were in the audience?
bryan callen
Get the fuck out of here.
joe rogan
It was incredible.
brendan schaub
Whoa.
bryan callen
I know.
joe rogan
That's amazing.
bryan callen
How'd you get tickets?
My friend bought them for us.
It was a surprise for her brother's birthday.
God.
And it was incredible.
Greg Belasco and his sister Amy.
And we went there, and I was so...
I was probably, what, 18, 19?
unidentified
Wow.
bryan callen
And he comes out in his leather suit.
joe rogan
Oh, my God.
bryan callen
And these are seminal moments, because you could see him on the screen, too, and his acting and the things he did.
It was shocking how good he was.
Shocking.
And they were all going crazy, and he went to one side of the room, and he put his hand to his ear, then the next hand to his ear, and I was just like, well, that's the coolest dude on the planet.
And the idea that I do that in a small way that I'm a comic is still incredible to me.
brendan schaub
Yeah, but for sure his highlight of his career is not Shrek being the donkey.
unidentified
No, no.
joe rogan
How dare you.
bryan callen
You fucked up.
You didn't let me finish.
What I was saying was they were talking about how much he made for Universal.
joe rogan
But you definitely fucked up, right?
unidentified
No, man.
joe rogan
Guys, hold on.
You went with Shrek and you don't think you fucked up?
bryan callen
Guys, hold on.
joe rogan
I'm sure you made a lot of money, but guess what?
He was already rich as fuck.
If a guy like Eddie Murphy...
What?
Come on, son.
If a guy like Eddie Murphy...
bryan callen
Beverly had a dry spell for a while, though, didn't he?
joe rogan
Listen, dude, settle down.
What is dry spell?
What are you sitting back counting?
You found out how much money he had.
He got done.
He probably counted about $1,000 a day, and he got bored after a while.
And then he said, ah, let me start doing movies again.
And he did that movie with Steve Martin.
Everybody goes, oh, shit.
I forgot.
Eddie Murphy's one of the funniest guys ever.
Ever.
bryan callen
He's amazing.
joe rogan
And Brian's like, the donkey.
brendan schaub
What'd you say, Jamie?
A little Yeah, Dr. Doolittle?
bryan callen
No, no, the donkey.
joe rogan
Those are like little kids movies.
I gotta go back to like trading places.
bryan callen
You know?
48 Hours?
joe rogan
48 Hours.
Yeah, 48 Hours is the big one, right?
brendan schaub
Beverly Hills Cop is huge.
unidentified
Beverly Hills Cop.
brendan schaub
One, two, three, son.
joe rogan
But Nick Nolte?
Come on, him and Nick Nolte.
brendan schaub
You fucking said Shrek, man.
joe rogan
You said Shrek!
bryan callen
You didn't let me finish!
joe rogan
No, you said a cartoon voice.
It wasn't even him.
bryan callen
I was saying, he effortlessly made some insane amount of money just being a donkey.
joe rogan
I'm telling you, he got $13 million.
He didn't need it.
bryan callen
I know.
joe rogan
That 13 million, it was chic.
It went in a pile somewhere.
bryan callen
Right.
joe rogan
He doesn't even feel that.
brendan schaub
Have you seen his girl lately?
joe rogan
No.
brendan schaub
Have you seen his girl lately?
bryan callen
She's the best looking woman on the planet.
unidentified
I'm sure.
joe rogan
He's still beautiful.
I saw him at the beach.
He looks great.
He doesn't look like whatever old he is.
unidentified
He's older than me.
joe rogan
But I look older than him, probably.
bryan callen
He is also a germaphobe.
He'll use a bar of soap once, throw it away.
joe rogan
Well, he's just rich.
Charlie does that with sneakers.
Charlie gets sneakers, they're in a box before a show, puts them on, throws those bitches to the side.
brendan schaub
Yeah, I'm not even rich.
I only wear socks once, son.
I'm not rich.
I don't wear socks twice.
joe rogan
Play the video of Charlie at Mike Tyson's house, because this is how fucking goddamn funny Charlie Murphy is.
brendan schaub
I bet he has such good stories.
joe rogan
Oh, he's a gem.
I've never seen that Tyson documentary.
Is it just called Tyson?
What is it called?
unidentified
I think it's extremely powerful.
You see a man cry.
joe rogan
It is fucking incredible.
unidentified
Cry when he reflects on parts of his life.
A strong man like that.
You have to realize that whatever was on him was no joke.
joe rogan
Yeah, it's incredible.
unidentified
That's a man who one time I went to his house.
And it was six limos and nobody would get out the limo.
And I said, how come nobody's getting out the car?
They said, you don't see that line standing over there?
Mike Tyson had a line in his front yard.
Like hangover style.
That's the only man in his house I ever went over.
There was a line in the front yard, loose.
He was on the steps like this with a heavyweight belt.
I was like, no, man, no, that's not a cat.
That's a lion.
joe rogan
That's fucking real.
unidentified
Mike Tyson had a lion.
joe rogan
A male lion or a female lion?
unidentified
With a mane, a lion in his front yard.
Loose.
It was off the leash, man.
It was not in the cage.
It was in the yard.
joe rogan
Oh, my God.
unidentified
Then he came out and started wrestling with him.
joe rogan
Oh, my God.
Damn, he wrestled?
How big was the lion?
unidentified
It was big, man.
It was a lion, man.
bryan callen
He was wrestling with a lion.
unidentified
Came over there and grabbed him and started tussling with him and all.
Jesus.
And everybody was in the limousine.
So the lion could come up to a limousine and bust the window open and come in there.
I'm sorry.
Easy.
He could just go like this booth and come right in there.
So everybody was in the car.
He couldn't back out because it was all like five limos.
So everybody's in the car horrified, thinking that Mike's getting ready to be eaten.
He plays with him and he takes him in the back and comes back out and I was like, you know what?
I'm never going to be around another man in life that's going to do that in front of you.
You know what I'm saying?
bryan callen
That's incredible.
joe rogan
Who's the animation?
That's one of the funniest things I've ever seen.
Slain at Telepathoid.
That's the dude who put it together.
bryan callen
Walking the lion back.
joe rogan
S-L-A-I-N at, what is it again?
I just want to give this guy's credit.
What is it?
What did it say at the very end there?
I just want to give the guy because it's really cool.
It's funny animation too.
Telepathoid?
So slain at telepathoid?
unidentified
Okay.
joe rogan
Thanks, buddy.
Thanks for making that.
bryan callen
But yeah, how funny is he?
I said, boof.
unidentified
Boof.
bryan callen
I've never heard anybody use that expression.
unidentified
A lion.
joe rogan
I'll be a lion.
unidentified
Heavyweight belt.
brendan schaub
Heavyweight belt.
bryan callen
Could you imagine?
It's the first time I've never seen something like this again in my life.
joe rogan
Imagine seeing him sitting there with a heavyweight belt.
brendan schaub
Imagine the experiences Mike Tyson had in his heyday and Eddie Murphy had in his heyday.
joe rogan
God damn it.
bryan callen
Yeah, excess.
Insanity.
joe rogan
Goddamn.
Yeah.
bryan callen
That kind of celebrity brings out the aphrodisiac.
joe rogan
Damn.
unidentified
Oops.
joe rogan
There's so many crazy fucking dudes in this world that have competed in MMA. So many crazy dudes that have fought in boxing.
They're a whole life story.
If you had to, like, accumulate the wildness of, like, a Roberto Duran's life story.
unidentified
Oh, my God.
brendan schaub
Johnny Tapia?
You ever seen the Johnny Tapia series?
joe rogan
Oh, my God.
brendan schaub
Watch the documentary on Johnny Tapia.
Really?
joe rogan
Oh, my God.
unidentified
It's insane.
joe rogan
Mirita loca.
brendan schaub
Drug addict, fight world champion.
bryan callen
Aaron Pryor, same thing, just below.
joe rogan
So many of these great fighters, just crazy wild lives, so much nuts, chaos.
bryan callen
Lending sometimes like Arturo Gatti getting shot and killed.
joe rogan
No, he strangled his fucking girl.
His girl killed him.
He got off in Brazil.
It was all in Brazil.
bryan callen
Set him up for the insurance, right?
joe rogan
Apparently he was hit on the head and choked.
Yeah, and they're saying he did it to himself.
brendan schaub
Come on.
joe rogan
His family thinks she fucking killed him.
They got a picture of her getting out of jail.
She's laughing and smiling.
That's not how you feel.
If that is really your husband and you miss him and he's gone, first of all, you feel horrible that someone put you in jail for that when you miss him so much and killed himself.
And second of all, when you come out, you're not smiling.
bryan callen
It's like a celebration for her.
joe rogan
Yeah, this ain't a celebration.
You're still depressed because your husband's dead, because he killed himself, and you were just accused of doing it, and people still suspect you of it.
You should be depressed.
You should feel terrible.
You should feel terrible that the whole world is calling bullshit on you and saying that you killed him.
You should be under pressure.
She doesn't look like she's under pressure at all.
brendan schaub
I saw a statistic today that said in Mexico, if you commit a murder, there's less than 5% chance that you'll do any jail time.
joe rogan
Oh my gosh.
bryan callen
How insane is that?
The people doing the murder are a lot of times so well connected.
You're talking about cartel violence now.
Where the cops are involved and everything.
brendan schaub
That's why I keep my ass in America.
joe rogan
Yeah, you know what, man?
I have a real terrible feeling about the way our world is connected with these borders of countries.
We won't let people in and we keep people out.
In some sense, I kind of understand what people are trying to do, trying to manage what we can with our own space.
But if you're not managing your fucking next door neighbor, if you're not helping...
Say if you live next to a crazy broken down trailer and you can't move.
You have a permanent house.
This is your neighbor, man.
What are you going to do?
Are you going to help them out?
You know, his kids need some food.
Maybe he needs a little money for gas.
Like, yeah, you're doing a lot better than him.
Just give him a little every now and then just to sue this motherfucker's life.
bryan callen
Just sue this motherfucker's shitty life.
Mexico's issue is not that.
Mexico's issue, though, is institutions and the integrity of those institutions.
joe rogan
Professor Callan, at it again.
bryan callen
It's really true, though.
joe rogan
Okay, but I was making a point, you fuck.
No, but what I was trying to say is, these people, they shouldn't be like another country.
They're right there.
They should be people that we consider, you know, to be in a bad situation and try to help them.
Whether it's help them politically, help them financially.
brendan schaub
Yeah, they're struggling, man.
joe rogan
But the idea that we're just, we're separate from them.
Like, there should be like a lot of emphasis on trying to fix Mexico.
And a less emphasis on fucking with countries that are on the other side of the planet.
brendan schaub
Well, you want to fix illegalized marijuana overall in the United States, because the cartel drug war is what's feeding all this chaos.
joe rogan
That's a big part of it.
That's a big part of it, for sure.
And there's a big part of it is probably going to be a lot of the corruption that you're seeing.
Probably a lot of that's going to go away when things become more and more transparent because of the internet.
It's going to be harder and harder for people to pull off the kind of shit they're doing in Russia right now, where you see Putin's number one enemy just got whacked.
bryan callen
Unbelievable.
Shot right in the public.
joe rogan
Dude!
With his hot, hot girlfriend.
brendan schaub
Good lord!
joe rogan
Really?
Good lord, sir!
Good lord!
Lord have mercy!
And he's got this smoking Russian girlfriend.
She's 23. He's been with her for three years.
Hello.
brendan schaub
So it's love.
joe rogan
So he's walking down.
It's totally love.
They're very compatible.
He's walking down the street with her and a fucking car pulls up and just unloads on him.
brendan schaub
Kills her too or no?
joe rogan
I think no.
Didn't even shoot her.
I think more than one guy shot her.
Shot him rather.
It was a hit.
And she's just standing there while they just shoot him in front of her.
unidentified
Like bang, bang, bang, bang.
bryan callen
That's horrifying.
joe rogan
The dude's dead.
And now they just let her leave and go back to her country.
They allowed her to leave.
brendan schaub
You think she cried or she's like, damn.
joe rogan
She's probably freaked out.
bryan callen
That's a terrible thing to see.
joe rogan
She's probably completely freaked out.
Could you imagine?
You're dating this dude and he gets assassinated because...
bryan callen
She probably loved him.
He was a really charismatic, awesome guy.
He was all about reforms.
He was a big critic of the Gremlins.
brendan schaub
I'm sure that's why she was with him.
joe rogan
Well, it's cultural.
Everybody's got a different way of looking at things.
Police question girlfriend.
What are you doing, Jimmy?
bryan callen
She is...
joe rogan
That's what I'm saying.
bryan callen
That's as crazy as I've ever seen.
brendan schaub
It just hit red hot.
joe rogan
Murdered Putin critic.
That's the murdered Putin critic.
Imagine if that was your title after you're dead.
You're the murdered Putin critic.
Because that's all people are going to remember about that cat.
brendan schaub
Well, on CNN, it's tough.
When I was doing the Ice Bucket Challenge, I did it benching 315 pounds, right?
joe rogan
You did the Ice Bucket Challenge while benching 315 pounds?
brendan schaub
Yeah, and I had Calen pour the water on me.
And the only thing I was concerned with is, I said, if it slips, like it falls off and hits me in the neck and I die, will it be on CNN? Will it be like, guy tries Ice Bucket Challenge, dies?
That's the only thing I was worried about.
joe rogan
You're not going to die for 315 pounds.
brendan schaub
Drop it on my face?
joe rogan
I'm not going to totally drop it.
Your arm's going to stop working.
brendan schaub
Well, with the water, let's say it slips off.
Have you seen the USC football player?
joe rogan
Yeah, I've seen the guy.
brendan schaub
It's not going to be good either way.
joe rogan
Yeah, that guy was benching some stupid amount of weight, like 600 plus pounds, right?
Wasn't he?
brendan schaub
No, this dude, the homeboy had I think maybe 400, 300 something and it slipped because the way they would do it, they wouldn't wrap their fingers around the bar.
They're just like this.
joe rogan
Oh God.
And his arms failed and it fell?
brendan schaub
It just slipped off.
joe rogan
Oh no.
And he died?
brendan schaub
He takes it off the bar.
No, he's supposed to be a pretty high draft pick.
unidentified
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Fell on him.
Obviously he can't do anything.
He just jacked him up, man.
He can't talk anymore.
Broke his neck, trachea, everything.
Can't speak.
joe rogan
Oh, fuck.
I saw a different one.
I saw it was a white guy.
It was a power lifter dude.
brendan schaub
Oh, I've seen that.
He was so fat that I think he's good.
Let's be real, bro.
unidentified
He's so fat, I think he's good.
brendan schaub
I think he's good.
There's an advantage to being that thick, man.
joe rogan
Well, a lot of guys get punched in the belly when they're fat, and the punch never even reaches them.
I mean, they've got fucking five inches of layer.
unidentified
That's crazy.
joe rogan
Like, if somebody punches you legitimately, if somebody...
Like, you could fuck somebody up with one of those Taekwondo body protectors on.
You know, I've seen people get kicked and go to the hospital to the body.
But if you're a fat guy, you're walking around through life with a Taekwondo...
brendan schaub
You ain't dropping Roy Nelson with a liver shot.
I'll tell you that right now.
Roy's gonna laugh if you hit him to the body.
joe rogan
Yeah, well, especially to the front of the body.
Keep him to the front.
Roundhouse kicked that dude in the stomach and really fucked him up.
bryan callen
He's the biggest mystery to me.
brendan schaub
He fights over him next.
That's a good fight, son.
joe rogan
That's in Dallas.
brendan schaub
Dallas.
joe rogan
That's a big card.
brendan schaub
That's a good card.
joe rogan
What are you doing that weekend?
You around?
bryan callen
What weekend is it?
joe rogan
March 13th and 14th?
bryan callen
I will be in Chicago at the Schaumburg Improv.
And this weekend...
joe rogan
Sucks for you, buddy.
bryan callen
Where will I be this weekend?
joe rogan
I don't know.
You tell me.
bryan callen
Come on, man.
You're supposed to do my advertisement.
Lexington, Kentucky.
Brian Callen.
Off-Broadway comedy.
joe rogan
Oh, is that the name of the place?
bryan callen
Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
brendan schaub
Off Broadway in Kentucky.
bryan callen
Ryan Callen!
joe rogan
It's really off Broadway.
bryan callen
It's way off.
It's very off Broadway.
It's in Kentucky.
brendan schaub
Far as shit away from Broadway.
joe rogan
You don't want to do comedy on Broadway unless it's only you and you open with the exact same shit every night and you do it as a performance piece.
bryan callen
Yeah.
joe rogan
You'd have to do a performance art piece.
bryan callen
With a box of wigs?
joe rogan
Yeah.
For them, it's very important if you're going to do a one-man show performance piece.
Like, guys do stand-up.
There's guys that have made a career off of doing stand-up as a one-man show.
Like that Defending the Caveman guy.
bryan callen
He's made a fortune.
joe rogan
Fuckload of money.
brendan schaub
Also, he might be a redneck.
He did the same thing over and over, right?
Over and over.
Yeah, one-man show.
joe rogan
I didn't know he did that.
bryan callen
You talking about Larry the Cable Guy?
joe rogan
No, it's not Larry the Cable Guy.
Jeff Foxworthy.
Oh, you didn't even know your goddamn film?
bryan callen
No, he was always just a stand-up, I think, wasn't he, Foxworthy?
He had that show for a while.
joe rogan
He's still a stand-up.
He was part of the Blue Collar Comedy Tour.
brendan schaub
Is he still doing stand-up?
joe rogan
Fuck yeah.
brendan schaub
Killing it still.
bryan callen
You'll never stop.
I'll never stop.
joe rogan
Dude, well, fucking Larry the Cable Guy killed...
Nobody talks about Larry the Cable Guy.
He flies under the weather.
Under the weather?
Under the radar?
bryan callen
Under the radar.
joe rogan
He's got a fucking...
There's a picture that Josh Wolfe showed me.
Josh Wolfe and him did a tour together and they did a goddamn football arena.
And it's him standing on stage.
Josh Wolfe took a selfie of him standing on stage in front of 100,000 fucking people.
Or whatever the fuck it was.
What is one of those football things?
brendan schaub
90% mullet.
joe rogan
50,000.
Let's say it's 50,000.
How many did they get in one of those things?
bryan callen
100,000.
joe rogan
Okay.
bryan callen
Failed!
joe rogan
For Larry the Cable Guy.
What?
Failed.
brendan schaub
Is it 2004?
bryan callen
Look at that.
joe rogan
Look at that.
Look what you're looking at.
bryan callen
That's the craziest thing I've ever seen.
brendan schaub
That's Nebraska.
That's a big-ass stadium, bro.
joe rogan
Are you shitting me?
brendan schaub
The big red?
joe rogan
Look at the size of that fucking crowd.
Is that from Josh Wolfe's Twitter feed or something?
Okay.
brendan schaub
Dude, that's insane.
joe rogan
Look at that.
Dude, that's a sea of humans.
That's an army.
He could start a war.
He could take those Larry the Cable Guy-ets and send them overseas.
They could conquer countries.
One of his crowds.
brendan schaub
I didn't know.
I gotta be honest.
I thought he was dead.
joe rogan
Yo, that's the entire population of Boulder, Colorado.
bryan callen
Yeah.
joe rogan
That is.
brendan schaub
For reals, man.
He's killing it.
I didn't even know.
Honestly, I didn't know he's still doing stand-up.
joe rogan
Dude, he does that all the time.
He does that all over the country.
Yep.
He doesn't do that like once a year.
That's not like the once a year Larry the Cable guy.
No, he's...
unidentified
Dude.
brendan schaub
You think he's that redneck when you just hang out with him?
joe rogan
No, it's not even who he is.
His name is Dan Whitney.
Look, pull the video.
There's a video of him doing stand-up, and you have to watch it.
It's him before he did the Larry the King.
First of all, he's a great guy.
Not dissing him at all.
He's a super nice guy.
Always cool.
Very down-to-earth.
Always has been.
I met him, like, way back in the day in Montreal, before he was ever famous.
He was cool as fuck back then.
bryan callen
I've heard that.
joe rogan
We had some drinks together, hung out at the Comedy Works.
unidentified
Just...
joe rogan
Very, very cool guy.
brendan schaub
He might have a line at his front door.
joe rogan
But he had a...
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
brendan schaub
He's killing the game.
joe rogan
He's married and, you know, he's having family and all that shit now.
But if he wanted to, yeah, he could.
But my point being is that this guy, like, created a character and was doing it on the radio.
And then that character became super successful.
And that's just, like, who people think of him as now.
But this is him.
This is him doing stand-up.
unidentified
Good to be here, I'll tell you what.
You know, my...
I just went to visit for a...
Grandma, she's got Alzheimer's disease.
Try to put her in a home.
It's a nice place.
bryan callen
It's called, huh?
unidentified
I'm kidding.
She laughed when I thought of that.
brendan schaub
Wow, man.
So I thought I was just born a pure redneck.
joe rogan
No.
It's not fair to him to play this old material, so let's just cut it right there.
brendan schaub
We got the point, but still, man.
joe rogan
Nobody wants to see anybody's material from 1987. Old school?
No, still doing comedy today when you started out like two years in and you're on some terrible TV show.
brendan schaub
Think about when he's having a bad day.
And just has to play a redneck.
He's like, can I rip the fucking sleeves off?
Give me this mullet.
joe rogan
Listen, that dude's having fun.
He's having fun.
brendan schaub
You don't think he gets sick of playing a redneck?
joe rogan
No.
Because he's...
He's performing.
He's a character.
It's a really funny character.
brendan schaub
Super funny.
joe rogan
And he's got good jokes.
bryan callen
He's always writing new stuff for it.
brendan schaub
I can't believe he's selling out Nebraska Stadium.
unidentified
Ha ha ha!
bryan callen
Dude, he makes over $20 million a year easy.
joe rogan
Yeah, he's gigantic.
brendan schaub
For sure.
joe rogan
He's gigantic.
Just doing stand-up.
And, you know, he's his own boss.
He does whatever he wants.
brendan schaub
I think the goal now is to get a lion in my front yard.
unidentified
That's right.
brendan schaub
Callan, you want to go in on one?
bryan callen
Yep, I do.
joe rogan
Go in on a lion.
unidentified
Yes, I do.
joe rogan
You can't go halfsies on an apex predator.
brendan schaub
Yeah, I'll have it Monday through Friday.
You get it Saturday, Sunday.
bryan callen
All right, get around the kids.
joe rogan
No, the cat's going to have some fucking problems.
It's going to feel weird not know where its real house is.
bryan callen
There's a guy in New York City.
joe rogan
Cats can't have two dens.
unidentified
That's true.
bryan callen
No, the dude in New York City who had a tiger in his apartment?
joe rogan
He had a crocodile too.
bryan callen
Did he?
joe rogan
This guy's awesome.
Motherfucker had like alligators and shit.
bryan callen
Feeding it whole chickens.
brendan schaub
What the fuck did you think was going to happen?
What was the best case scenario with this giant alligator in your tub?
bryan callen
You might want to plan.
You might want to plan for it.
brendan schaub
You had to call the cops.
You had to call the cops, man.
joe rogan
Well, the tiger fucked him up.
The tiger scratched him.
Yeah, the tiger was like, bitch, I'm living in a fucking apartment.
I need some exercise.
bryan callen
It was being a tiger.
joe rogan
Yeah.
You can't have a tiger in your goddamn apartment in Harlem.
bryan callen
No.
brendan schaub
In his one-bedroom studio.
Yeah, the lion, the tiger freaked out, son.
joe rogan
You can see some crazy dude who thinks he's Neo in the Matrix, and he's got some long coat on, and he doesn't want anybody to know.
He's got extra bolts on his door, and you go inside, and he's got a menagerie of fucking animals in there, tigers and lions and shit, in his apartment.
I told you I got a tiger in my house.
You're like, this motherfucker really has a tiger in an apartment?
bryan callen
His thought clad over his head is constantly, I win.
Nobody knows, but I win.
I have the best pet.
I have the strongest pet.
joe rogan
Not even that.
He's like the fucking neighborhood mystery.
You know, nobody wants a pet.
brendan schaub
He has zero friends.
If you have an alligator in your bathtub and your best friend's a tiger, a pet tiger, you have zero friends.
joe rogan
Okay, but let me look at it from his point of view.
What would you rather have?
An alarm system that you know no one's gonna give a fuck because the cops are never gonna answer it anyway.
Like, they kick in your door, your alarm goes off, whatever.
By the time the cops don't give a fuck.
You're dead as fuck, okay?
If someone's gonna try to harm you and you're in the Harlem, the cops are gonna stand outside until the dust settles and then move in.
They're not there for crime prevention.
unidentified
True.
joe rogan
They're there to write tickets and shit.
Okay, so would you want an alarm system that everybody knows is bullshit or a fucking tiger in your house?
How confident are you with a pistol that you're gonna walk out with a stereo while you're holding off a tiger?
Bitch!
brendan schaub
Bro, but that tiger, it's not like he was trained.
It's like, alright, someone's breaking, I better let this tiger out.
That tiger's fucking the robber up and you.
No one's getting out alive.
joe rogan
Well, probably once it realizes how fun it is to fuck the robber up, it'll just want to fuck you up too.
brendan schaub
Yeah, man.
joe rogan
You know, be like, why don't I wait for this motherfucker to crack open a can of Hannah for me?
bryan callen
They just decide.
joe rogan
Fuck him up right now.
I don't want you stupid chicken.
brendan schaub
Eat that face off.
bryan callen
They just decide.
joe rogan
Well, they want to kill things.
That's what we ignore when we put them in zoos.
The most torturous aspect of zoos.
It's like taking a man in his prime when he's just unbelievably attracted to women, right?
And then putting him in like a glass zoo enclosure and parading naked women around him back and forth.
Some people say that's an unfair example, but it's not.
Because nature has reward systems.
And the cats are the clean-up crew.
When you get a limp, your design didn't work well.
Guess what?
People with thicker anchors, they survive.
But thicker-ankled people survive, you thin-ankled motherfuckers gotta go.
Okay?
Thinning the herd.
Thick, fucking Samoan babies that can run fast.
That's what's gonna survive if tigers are everywhere.
bryan callen
In the San Diego Zoo, there was a jaguar, and the woman who tends to the cats was there.
And I said, if I walked in that cage, would that thing attack me?
And she said, it would kill you.
And I said, you didn't seem to hesitate.
She goes, nope, it's a predator.
It will kill you.
And I said, what are the chances you think of a human fighting something like that?
She goes, well, she said, what it would do is it would bite you, and it would keep adjusting its grip because its canines, whatever you call them, have nerves where they can sense where the juggler is.
So it would just keep adjusting and then get on your juggler.
brendan schaub
My boy Cody Donovan worked at the morgue in the hospital where they put the bodies in.
And at the Denver Zoo, the lady at night who would feed the tigers and all that shit, she didn't lock it good enough.
She threw in the fucking T-bones in order that they give them, and then she thought it would automatically lock, and it didn't.
Messed up the door from closing.
So she's wheeling the cart.
This fucking Jaguar sneaks out from behind.
Boom!
And they said she died instantly because it's big ass canine.
Went all the way through her skull through the back of her neck.
joe rogan
Boom!
brendan schaub
And Cody had to get the body and he said they had to look.
And it was just like this giant hole from the cat's canine.
Straight through.
joe rogan
Jaguar, too.
I mean, that's not even a particularly...
Well, they're pretty big.
They're a couple hundred pounds.
They're not huge, though.
They're not like a tiger.
bryan callen
They're bigger than leopards, and they're very powerful.
joe rogan
Well, they think that, yeah, jaguars are way bigger.
And they're in South America, too.
They're going to creep up here.
brendan schaub
What do you know about a liger, son?
bryan callen
I think they say they're the most pound-for-pound.
I believe a jaguar is the most powerful cat.
joe rogan
I think the most powerful cat, pound-for-pound, is a house cat.
I think they said if house cats were big, if they were big like a lion or tiger, we would be fucked.
bryan callen
Yes.
brendan schaub
Are you serious?
unidentified
Yes.
bryan callen
You tame them.
You never domesticate them.
They still have all the same traits as a jungle cat.
They're just smaller.
joe rogan
They're very powerful.
Like when you see how far a house cat can leap for its body size.
unidentified
It's crazy.
joe rogan
Well, have you ever seen that video of the tiger that jumps like 12 feet in the air to get a piece of meat?
There's a video of them holding this meat like above this truck for this tiger.
This tiger just leaps through the air to get the meat.
bryan callen
Well, look at how high the wall was in San Francisco when those kids were shooting at Tiger with wrist rockets.
joe rogan
No, they were throwing pine cones at it.
bryan callen
Is that what it was?
And Tiger was like, I'm gonna...
I thought they were shooting with wrist rockets.
joe rogan
No, they were throwing pine cones at it, supposedly.
bryan callen
Yeah.
joe rogan
I mean, it was a bit from my act.
brendan schaub
And he got out.
joe rogan
Remember I had that bit about it?
About the tiger getting out and the look in the guy's face when the paws at the top of the glass.
I don't care who you are.
I don't care who you are.
I don't care who the fuck you are.
I would have loved to have seen that guy's face because no one can pretend that.
Killed one guy and fucked up another one.
I don't know if the guy tried to help his friend or what happened, but the second guy got killed, not the first guy that got attacked.
brendan schaub
And these were the guys throwing the pine cones at them?
joe rogan
Mm-hmm.
Damn.
The thing jumped the fence.
Apparently they can jump 14 feet, but this fence was only 12 feet.
And there was a big lawsuit, or threatened a big lawsuit.
I don't know if it was settled.
But because their fucking fence was too short, man.
The tiger just had never jumped before.
He'd never given a shot.
brendan schaub
For sure someone needs to map that out better.
joe rogan
Well, my bit was if you got a monster in a box in the middle of the city, put a top to the box.
You went through all this trouble to build all this shit this way, and you're like, is that high enough?
Yeah, let's get out of here.
Someone decided the 12th, why don't I put a fucking top on it?
You got fake rocks.
You got a fucking pool in there for them.
How about a roof?
You fuckheads.
Why make it so it could jump out?
That's so ridiculous.
That's the dumbest fucking thing ever.
brendan schaub
Zoos are lame in general, though, man.
When's the last time I went to the zoo?
I went to the San Diego Zoo.
That line was...
Pissing on everybody.
Pissing, man.
Walking back and forth.
bryan callen
That's as good a zoo as a zoo can get, but I don't like zoos.
brendan schaub
That was the most exciting part, by far.
Zoos suck, man.
joe rogan
It's good for little kids.
I take my kids.
brendan schaub
That makes sense.
joe rogan
They like to look at the animals, but it's depressing.
If you go...
brendan schaub
Bums me out, man.
joe rogan
Especially the primates.
It's very depressing.
bryan callen
I was surprised at how poorly they actually eat, especially the primates.
They're not fed the kind of food.
It's very hard to feed them their natural diet, especially in certain ratios.
joe rogan
I don't think they feed the chimps.
First of all, they give them mostly vegetables, right?
bryan callen
A lot of them develop diabetes in captivity because there's no real set standard for how to feed a chimp as far as National Zoo.
brendan schaub
What do they eat in the wild?
bryan callen
These chimps.
It was not good food.
It was not.
joe rogan
You know what they really like to eat, man?
They really love to eat monkeys.
bryan callen
That's right.
brendan schaub
Other monkeys?
joe rogan
Dude, it's hard to watch.
You know, they didn't know it until the 1990s, I think.
There was that guy, David Attenborough.
Is that who it was?
Yep.
We did a nature documentary in the Congo or some shit.
bryan callen
Yeah.
joe rogan
And they followed these chimps and they had this hunting party.
They took down this monkey and they're ripping the monkey apart and eating it alive.
Little colobus monkey.
They see the thing screaming, the look on its face while it's eating it like ass first.
It's chewing on this thing.
Pulling it apart.
And the monkey's screaming like you can't believe it's getting eaten apart.
It's one of the most fucked up, disturbing videos I've ever seen.
bryan callen
You see them looking up in the trees.
The main one looking up in the trees and they're mapping where these monkeys are going and they cut off.
As a group, they cut them off.
joe rogan
They funnel them, they beat the trees, and they get them to go in a certain direction, and then they box them in.
brendan schaub
Like West Side Story.
joe rogan
And then they just tear them apart.
bryan callen
They also found that young male chimps will band together and go kill other chimps from other groups.
brendan schaub
I didn't know this.
joe rogan
They'll even occasionally cannibalize.
They'll cannibalize chimps from other tribes.
unidentified
Yeah, our ancestors are assholes.
bryan callen
So are people a lot of times.
They do a lot worse.
joe rogan
Well, of course.
bryan callen
Or a bipolar ape.
brendan schaub
We're not killing eating people, though, really.
bryan callen
Well, we are, but it's so rare.
joe rogan
We certainly are.
But if you look at the numbers, see how many fucking chimps there are in the wild, and they're doing this fucked up shit to monkeys, and then look at how many people there are.
If there was as many people or chimps as there were people, it would be cannibalized.
Chaos.
You wouldn't be able to leave your house.
If there was as many chimps as there were people, you would never be able to get to your car.
They would mug you every chance they got.
They would rip your fucking feet off and fuck your ass.
They would do whatever they wanted to.
Rip your feet off.
bryan callen
I think that would be the one animal actually you definitely don't want To have an encounter.
You may as well choose a croc because they'll kill you right away.
A chimp will just take your face off and your genitals off.
joe rogan
Gorillas are less likely to attack you.
Gorillas will fake you.
They'll fake charge you.
And you have to stay on the ground.
brendan schaub
Just to scare you, right?
bryan callen
It's a mock charge.
joe rogan
They want you to get the fuck out of here.
Just get the fuck out of here.
You're staring at me, you crazy asshole.
brendan schaub
And the chimp's going to rip your dick and face off.
joe rogan
But we're so soft, we think it's okay to look at a wild animal in its eyes.
That's how stupid we are.
Hi.
bryan callen
It's a challenge.
unidentified
Hey, we're cool.
joe rogan
We're cool, man.
We're from National Geographic Society.
We just come to make sure your baby's okay.
Fucking crazy 800-pound silverback.
What's wrong with people?
It's right in your face.
He's got fangs and he only eats vegetables.
unidentified
I know.
brendan schaub
Shredded.
joe rogan
And the fangs are only designed to fuck you up.
And you can't even imagine what an 800-pound gorilla's strength is like, because you would think of it as like an 800-pound man.
But it would really be more like a 3,000-pound man.
brendan schaub
It would twist your head off like this, man.
joe rogan
Like, just rip you to pieces.
Probably more than 3,000.
Probably like a 5,000-pound man.
unidentified
For sure.
joe rogan
Some ridiculous number.
bryan callen
Look at the muscles on a 200-pound chimp, man, when they lose their hair.
joe rogan
Oh, they're disgusting.
unidentified
Oh, crap.
joe rogan
Troll-looking, fucking horrible-looking beast.
bryan callen
Stared at those muscles forever.
joe rogan
If we had as many chimps as there were people, everybody's always down for chimps.
Look, I'm not saying we should exterminate the chimps.
Don't get me wrong.
But let's just be realistic.
If chimps were everywhere and they had full freedom the way people do, we'd have a fucking serious problem!
bryan callen
Yes!
brendan schaub
Yeah.
Well, the first problem was someone said that was okay for those chimps to fucking hang out with us, man.
joe rogan
And if you don't think chimps will steal babies and eat them, you haven't been paying attention to the literature.
bryan callen
That's right, sir.
brendan schaub
I haven't been paying attention because I'm terrified.
joe rogan
They will steal babies.
Baboons will steal babies for fun.
brendan schaub
From each other.
Baboons I knew.
Baboons are wild as fuck.
joe rogan
Evil fucking cunts.
bryan callen
Yeah, baboons are bad.
joe rogan
Evil, evil cunts, baboons.
bryan callen
When you carry a baby on your back, it's not a good idea.
joe rogan
Baboons are creepy dog fucking monkey things.
Nobody's got a pet baboon in New York City.
bryan callen
Some people do.
joe rogan
Do they?
bryan callen
Yes, they do.
I don't know about New York City.
joe rogan
Well, they do in Africa, I know.
There's like baboons with fucking masks on them.
brendan schaub
I feel like every time I'm in here, I'm terrified, man.
unidentified
I know.
brendan schaub
Every time.
Last time I left, there was volcanoes.
I was like, you're going to die any minute, bro.
joe rogan
Listen, this is what you do.
Keep away from volcanoes.
Don't run for office in Russia.
Make sure...
bryan callen
Don't get a baboon because it will challenge you eventually.
joe rogan
We keep the chimp population to a minimum.
Everybody was down for chimps.
If chimps were like squirrels, you'd be fucked!
You would be fucked if chimps were running through the fucking car.
bryan callen
Look at the muscles, look.
Oh, good, googly moogly!
Look at that thing!
Look at the muscles!
joe rogan
They're so strong.
bryan callen
There's a male.
Look at that.
joe rogan
That's the same chimp, I think.
bryan callen
But what's really fucked is...
He's got some balls and no dick.
joe rogan
That's what they all look like.
We just usually see them covered in hair and we don't realize it.
bryan callen
That's right.
He's got some thick wrists on that guy.
And those hands, built for brutality.
joe rogan
Look at his nuts.
bryan callen
Built to pull your eyes out of your head.
brendan schaub
With no dick.
joe rogan
No wonder he's ferocious.
He has a dick.
He's probably playing with it, man.
He's probably holding it up with his extra long fingers.
bryan callen
You're not putting him in a rear You're not doing anything to him.
joe rogan
Oh my god, he would laugh at you.
bryan callen
Bro, look at that gorilla down there.
joe rogan
What?
Oh my God!
Jesus fucking Christ!
He's so big!
Oh my God, that thing's so big!
bryan callen
Six foot, six hundred pounds.
brendan schaub
Again, not messing with a very big piece though.
joe rogan
Oh no, they have tiny dicks, as a matter of fact.
There's a difference.
And notice how he has tiny balls, too.
Here's what's interesting, give you a little science.
With primates, there's a direct relationship with the size of the testicles and the promiscuousness of the surrounding women.
So the more the women are just fucking everything, buck wild up in here, the more the dude's balls get big.
And that exists in cultures as well.
unidentified
For sure.
joe rogan
- Sure, I live in LA, my bones are huge. - Humans have the largest dicks though of all the primates per capita, per size, per measurement.
brendan schaub
Wow, I didn't know that.
joe rogan
Yeah, if you measure this pound for pound, our dicks are the biggest, because we're the biggest hoes.
bryan callen
Yep.
joe rogan
Not necessarily, like us and bonobos.
bryan callen
Bonobos fuck a lot, huh?
joe rogan
But our dicks are bigger.
The thing about gorilla's dicks and balls is that the gorillas are so fucking unchallengeable, they could have little tiny puds and they still get all the pussy.
brendan schaub
Makes sense.
joe rogan
There's no one coming along.
There's no giant gorilla just stroking it, sitting by the side of the fucking pond, eating bamboo shoots with a giant shillelagh.
Just letting all the other gorillas know.
bryan callen
With a Shiva-like lingam.
joe rogan
Get over.
Fuck this one-inch killer you've been fucking with.
Because gorillas have one-inch dicks.
bryan callen
That's so disappointing.
joe rogan
But, if you look at it in a gorilla's way, a big dick is a big target.
You want to get your dick bit by a snake.
Might be the difference between survival and death when you're out there living in the fucking jungle.
You want a tiny dick with a pee hole so small that one of those little ball-eating fish can't swim up there and eat your ball sack out from the inside like they're known to do.
brendan schaub
I heard back in the day, like in the Roman times, a big dick you were made fun of is like licked down upon.
Is that true?
bryan callen
No.
joe rogan
It's the same today.
It's like the internet.
The Roman days were like Twitter.
If you have a big dick on Twitter, yeah, but you fucking, the blood goes to it, you become a retard.
It's been proven the body can't support a dick that big.
bryan callen
The Roman statues, the aesthetic was to keep the penis small because it took away from the body and how hard it was to chisel like a realistic body and foot and all that out of the marble.
So you kept that area.
joe rogan
That's the story.
I bet there's a bunch of dudes jacking off on a statue of a giant cock.
They probably took the cock and they were buttfucking the statue in the middle of the square, backing each other up on the statue of this giant cock.
brendan schaub
I just heard back in the day if you had a big ol' dick in the Roman times, they made fun of you.
Like you're an outcast.
bryan callen
No.
joe rogan
That's hilarious.
bryan callen
I don't think so.
joe rogan
Make fun, boys.
Go ahead.
unidentified
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Real funny, fellas.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Real funny, man.
bryan callen
Sorry about my heavy dick.
Could you imagine?
joe rogan
That's the one group of humans that will never get sympathy if you mock them.
Dudes are big dicks.
No matter what.
bryan callen
No matter what.
joe rogan
I mean, just different races, different nationalities, different genders.
There's all sorts of categories where you're not allowed to mock people because it's rude.
Even white people.
There's people get mad that you're mocking white people.
Like, man, why don't you fucking leave us white people alone?
You know, all the privilege that white people have, it's still not enough for you to be able to mock them.
bryan callen
Take your four pound dick and get out of here.
joe rogan
Dudes with giant dicks, you got a green light.
If you can find something about that guy that you can make fun of, if you can make fun of that dude, nobody's going to back him up.
Nobody's going to come along and say, hey dude with the big giant dick, you know man, I feel your pain.
It's the bullshit they're mocking your giant super fucking alpha hog, that giant dick that all the women want, that huge veiny monster of destruction that you're swinging.
The one thing that a dude cannot own up to.
I mean, we just can't.
No matter what you do, you make all the money in the world, that guy's got a giant dick.
And if he bangs her, she's going to remember.
She's going to remember that giant thing.
brendan schaub
And you can't pay for it either.
unidentified
How about Love Line?
bryan callen
We did Love Line and the open forum was Does Size Matter?
Literally every girl but one was like, absolutely.
joe rogan
Dudes will tell you it doesn't matter.
It's wishful thinking, bitches.
bryan callen
Dr. Drew was like, no, it doesn't matter.
joe rogan
Silly boy!
bryan callen
We're like, well.
brendan schaub
Silly boy.
No, he said it does matter, I thought.
bryan callen
Well, he's got a piece on him, apparently.
brendan schaub
Well, that's what they told us.
bryan callen
But at the end of the day, it was funny.
unidentified
I need proof.
brendan schaub
I need a dick big.
joe rogan
What's a piece?
Yeah.
It was like, guys, I took karate in high school.
brendan schaub
Okay.
joe rogan
How much karate did you really do?
Well, I've been doing martial arts since I was a kid.
What'd you do?
You and your brother hit a brick with a fucking flashlight in your backyard?
bryan callen
Every guy exaggerates how much they bench and how fast a runner they were.
I ran a 4 or 540. Hmm.
Well, the NFL... How about your friend?
brendan schaub
He goes, yeah, I ran a 4-6 in the 4-day.
I went, well, no, you didn't.
He goes, oh, I benched 385, though, three times in high school.
joe rogan
Oh, though?
Why would he say that, though?
I don't know.
He's admitting the first one was a lie.
Listen, that was bullshit, but I'm an Eagle Scout.
bryan callen
I'm an Eagle Scout.
joe rogan
I made that shit.
unidentified
I did make Eagle Scout.
joe rogan
I got a badge.
bryan callen
I saw a grown man who was an Eagle Scout at the airport, and he was pushing 45, and he was an Eagle Scout.
brendan schaub
He was in the full getup?
unidentified
Sure was.
brendan schaub
Oh, he's molesting kids 100%.
unidentified
Yes, he is.
joe rogan
Well, he's a Scoutmaster.
bryan callen
Is that what it is?
joe rogan
Yeah, I mean, he might have earned the rank of Eagle Scout, but he's not in the Boy Scouts anymore.
He's, like, running these Scout trips.
bryan callen
He can make a...
brendan schaub
That's some shady shit.
joe rogan
Oh dude, weird guys.
bryan callen
Join the military.
joe rogan
I remember I was a kid.
I was a kid and I was in the Boy Scouts.
I was probably like between...
I guess it was between...
So when I was living in Boston, so I think I was probably like 13. That was when I was in the Boy Scouts.
I was only in it for like one year.
Whatever it was, 13 or 14. I was living in Jamaica Plain.
And my mom took me to the Boy Scout thing and this fucking dude who was a Scoutmaster was hitting on my mom.
Like hard and my mom was like blushing and she was trying to be polite about it But I remember like this is creepy this dude's hitting on my mom in front of me And I gotta go camping with this asshole and he was like hey, what's up with your mom like she's married my dad You're getting extra marshmallows and shit.
I didn't get any extra marshmallows I went to camp with a bunch of fucking hoodlums.
It was a scary camp.
unidentified
Really?
joe rogan
I didn't do any of the shit we're supposed to do I hid During the day, like, we're supposed to do all these different activities.
Took my fishing rod, went down to the lake.
I checked out early.
bryan callen
Joe, the individual?
joe rogan
I checked out right away.
brendan schaub
Doesn't play well with us.
joe rogan
No, no, no.
Dude, there was ricochets, okay?
Dudes were, he gave kids.22s, and they were shooting at rocks.
And we're hanging out there, but there was, like, an archery range.
And while we're hanging out by the archery range, I hear...
And I go, what the fuck is that?
And someone goes, it's a ricochet.
I go, what do you mean it's a ricochet?
They're like, someone over by the rifle range probably hit a rock.
I go, it goes all the way the fuck over here?
Like, what are you talking about, man?
brendan schaub
Yeah, just keep fishing, bro.
joe rogan
This is the Boy Scouts in New Hampshire, okay?
Listen, survival of the fittest.
They would take kids, pull them out of their cots, like pick their cots up, and tie them up and leave them in the middle of the woods.
And it was pitch dark.
You couldn't see your hand.
bryan callen
I went to camp out there.
I got molested.
joe rogan
Did you?
bryan callen
Yes.
joe rogan
What happened?
Oh, you talked about this.
bryan callen
I know, it doesn't matter.
joe rogan
You didn't tell this story on the podcast?
bryan callen
I don't know.
It doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter.
joe rogan
What are you, a girl?
You're going to tell us a story?
brendan schaub
Yeah, dude.
joe rogan
Oh, it doesn't matter.
brendan schaub
Tell the story, though.
Didn't Officer Greg suck your dick or something?
bryan callen
Well, no.
Someone sucked your dick?
With Dan, his name was Fistful of my dong, and I had a morning boy hard on, and I was like, what's going on?
And he was doing this, and I was like, I do this usually, why is he doing this?
I remember going, I do this, why is he doing this?
So I go to my buddy Donnie, and I go...
Uh, probably 11. And I go, I go to my buddy Don, I go, hey man, this guy, you know me, I'm like, this guy Dan was playing with my dick!
And my buddy John goes, he's playing with my dick too!
And Donnie goes, he sucked mine!
And I go...
I'm telling my mom!
So I waited like a little tiger in the tall grass.
joe rogan
He sucked mine.
bryan callen
Yep.
brendan schaub
Donnie got his dick sucked.
He was getting it done repeatedly.
bryan callen
He wasn't like a violent...
brendan schaub
Real quick, Callan got molested as a kid.
bryan callen
Sure did.
He wasn't a violent guy.
He was probably a guy who...
He had a beard, I remember, with a bald head, terribly non-athletic at all.
I threw a ball at him and he clapped like he was clapping at a bug.
And then he just loved boys.
And I went and told my mom.
brendan schaub
What did you tell your mom?
How did you tell your mom?
bryan callen
Well, my mom wasn't there, so she didn't come for about two weeks, and he kept asking me why I wasn't going on more trips, because I was just taken.
I was, like, not signed up for any more canoe trips.
brendan schaub
Was it just that one time?
Because you were there for two weeks.
Did you get your dick sucked by Greg?
bryan callen
No, I was there for longer than that.
I was in camp for two months, I believe.
joe rogan
Did he suck your dick?
bryan callen
No, he never sucked my dick.
joe rogan
How close did he get to it?
bryan callen
He just had it.
joe rogan
It was hard.
bryan callen
We were all in the tent.
It was probably me and a couple of guys, and he had his hand in my...
In my sleeping bag, playing with my little wiener.
joe rogan
So, give me like a jujitsu position.
Does he have you in side control?
bryan callen
Nope, I'm lying next to him.
joe rogan
Is he ski-polling?
bryan callen
And he's looking...
joe rogan
He's ski-polling.
brendan schaub
Tents are small, bro.
There's three kids.
He's probably like this.
Two fistfuls, sucking Donnie off.
bryan callen
Well, I know that I was looking...
joe rogan
You were in a threesome with Donnie.
bryan callen
I was looking...
I had woken up like this.
I wasn't a threesome, probably.
Probably.
And...
brendan schaub
This explains so much.
bryan callen
I know.
unidentified
I know.
joe rogan
Why are you fucking rubbing your head?
That's gotta be an internet meme.
unidentified
I know.
joe rogan
This explains so much.
bryan callen
So much.
unidentified
Calvin was molested.
bryan callen
I was molested.
unidentified
I don't know.
brendan schaub
It's fucked up to laugh, man.
joe rogan
Why are you laughing at that?
unidentified
That's so rude.
bryan callen
There's a big difference between being molested and then being fucked.
And so, you know, for me, and I knew that.
joe rogan
He was minorly molested.
brendan schaub
You're crazy if you don't think Donnie was fucking him, too.
bryan callen
No, I think Donnie...
Donnie didn't want me to tell anybody.
And I was like, I'm telling my mom!
joe rogan
I almost got molested by a guy.
Came real close.
Didn't realize that the guy was creeping on me until the very end.
bryan callen
Neither did I. I thought he was nice.
joe rogan
I thought he was nice, but he was getting weird.
He was getting weird and he was showing up drunk.
brendan schaub
How'd you know him?
joe rogan
I used to go fishing near this place called Jamaica Pond.
And Jamaica Pond was this place in Jamaica Plain, where I lived, that had really good fishing.
Like, I could walk to it.
Seems weird, but that's, you know, Boston, it rains a lot.
You know, you have, like, ponds and lakes and shit.
Like, sometimes near cities.
And this was a real legitimate trout pond.
And we would go fishing there all the time.
You'd catch bass there, trout.
But they would stock it with rainbow trout.
And I loved fishing back then.
I'd fish all the time.
I'd fish every day after school.
So much fun.
It was just peaceful.
And it's fun catching fish.
You know, it's like one of those things kids love it.
When I caught my first trout, I was like, holy shit!
I brought it in and I picked it up and I took it home and I cooked it.
I couldn't believe I caught a fucking trout.
It was very exciting to me.
Anyway, this dude used to jog by and he used to talk to me and my friend Josh.
unidentified
I love how Brendan can't stop laughing.
joe rogan
We used to go fishing at this place all the time.
Dude's probably dead now.
Because I was...
It was before I moved to Newton.
I moved to Newton when I was 14. So I was living in Jamaica Plain.
I was probably 13-ish.
Somewhere around that.
And he's probably in his late 50s.
So he comes around and he'd ask us about fishing.
Like, what do you catch?
Like, sit down with us for a little bit and talk with us.
Very friendly.
And then he'd take off.
And he kept doing it.
Like, over and over again.
Come by.
Very friendly.
bryan callen
Softening you up.
unidentified
Yep.
joe rogan
Softening us up.
bryan callen
Feelers.
joe rogan
He would offer us some food.
He would give us some food, like a cake or something.
He would probably rub his balls off.
I have no idea, right?
Probably give you like a cookie that he just had deep in his ass.
I had no idea.
bryan callen
I ran it over my crack.
joe rogan
Who knows what he did, right?
But I didn't know any better, man.
I was 13. I just didn't know any better.
I had one experience when I was younger, when I was like seven years old.
I was at a library in San Francisco.
And I was looking at these books, and I was looking at these monster books, and this guy came up to me like, you like monster books?
And I go, yeah.
And he goes, I got monster books out in my car.
I go, oh, really?
And I start going out to this guy's car.
And the lady, who's the librarian, screams out, Joseph, you get away from that man.
bryan callen
Damn, dude.
joe rogan
That man just got out of jail.
So I run away.
I'm crying.
unidentified
Damn, dude.
brendan schaub
He's probably going to...
joe rogan
Who knows?
Who the fuck knows?
unidentified
Fuck, man.
joe rogan
Most likely molest me.
brendan schaub
I dodged.
If it's a good...
bryan callen
Or kill you.
joe rogan
Could be killed me.
Dang, man.
I'm like seven.
At the most, I'm eight.
brendan schaub
I'm not laughing anymore.
joe rogan
Scary shit.
So I had that in my past, like I remembered that, that I dodged that bullet.
So this dude, man, so stupid, man.
I had lunch over this guy's house before, just me and him.
This is where it started getting weird.
I peed in his bathroom, and one of the things he said to me, he goes, you're very developed.
And I said, what?
And he goes, your penis.
Your penis is very developed for a boy your age.
That's a very good thing.
I was like, oh, okay.
But he didn't get creepy with me.
I mean, I was over the dude's house.
unidentified
Well, that's creepy.
joe rogan
It was creepy, but you know what I'm saying?
brendan schaub
That's creepy as fuck.
joe rogan
He didn't try to fuck me.
He probably loved you.
bryan callen
He just said that.
joe rogan
Dude, whatever it was.
It got real weird after that.
So that was probably the beginning of the weirdness.
unidentified
Hell yeah.
joe rogan
So I definitely told Josh.
I was like, dude, he said that my dick was developed.
He's looking at my dick and Josh was like, whoa.
And Josh was an interesting character too.
That kid knew a lot of shit.
He knew about weird sexual shit way early because his mom My mom was a lesbian.
I lived with this woman who looked like a truck driver.
It was hilarious.
He knew some shit.
He was a sharp kid.
He's like, dude, he's trying to fuck you.
This is going to get ugly.
We were talking about it.
Do you think he's a pedophile?
It was some weird shit.
So anyway, I started avoiding the dude.
And then one time I'm fishing, and there was two areas.
There was one area where Jamaica Pond was, was the big area, and then there was this other smaller pond that was off, like, you know, like a few blocks to the left.
Sometimes we would go to that pond, because no one ever went there, and it did have some good fish in there, and every now and then, like, it had different kind of fish.
It had, like, pickerel and all these different kind of fish.
So he shows up.
It's just me and him.
And this is kind of an isolated area.
There's a lot of trees and shit.
It's not like Jamaica Pond, which has this big running track.
brendan schaub
Is he in sweats?
joe rogan
This is a sketch.
This is a sketch.
And he tells me that he loves me.
unidentified
What?
joe rogan
Yeah, yeah.
And I don't know what to do.
I'm sitting there fishing.
And I'm like, okay, well, yeah, I like you too, man.
And he goes, no, no, I love you.
And there cannot be no true love.
There can be no true love without sex.
Holy shnikes.
No, I remember him saying that.
And I remember going, what?
And I remember I had a knife.
I had a Swiss Army knife, one of those little red plastic handle Swiss Army knives, and I had it in my pocket, and I put my hand on the knife.
And I didn't want to pull it out, but I wanted to have it on me.
And I remember thinking, I might have to fucking stab this guy.
brendan schaub
Chop that dick up.
joe rogan
I don't know.
I mean, first of all, I'm probably going to get killed.
I'm 13. I didn't know how to fight back then.
brendan schaub
And he's a big dude.
joe rogan
I wasn't big.
He was bigger than me.
He was an old guy.
brendan schaub
Yeah, a grown ass man.
joe rogan
He's a grown ass man.
And if he knew how to fight at all, I was fucked.
I didn't have any martial arts experience back then.
It's one of the reasons why I started getting into martial arts is after this.
I figured I have to know something.
If this guy beats me up and fucking kills me and stabs me, no one's going to hear me.
I'm in this really kind of wooded area.
And so I told him, you better fucking leave me alone or something like that.
Whatever words I was able to muster being scared out of my mind at 13. And then years later, after I had moved, this is where it got really creepy.
He sent a letter to my house when I was like 16 or 17 or something like that.
unidentified
Relentless.
joe rogan
Yeah, he sent a letter to my house many, many years later.
He found out where I moved to, found out where my house was.
I had never told him my house in the first place.
And this guy sent me a letter.
It was really creepy, man.
I read this long, it was almost like a love letter to me.
It was really creepy.
unidentified
And I'm just thinking, if I see this guy, Jesus Christ.
bryan callen
He was truly in love.
joe rogan
Right alert.
bryan callen
Me and my buddy Michael in Saudi Arabia.
brendan schaub
He fell in love with that dick.
Let's be honest.
joe rogan
He saw my juicy dick...
That's what it was.
And that's the turning point.
brendan schaub
That's an insane story though.
bryan callen
One of the most traumatic experiences for me, I was in Saudi Arabia with my buddy Michael and in Saudi there was nowhere to play so you would just go play in these like abandoned lots and you know whatever we'd find cars that were old but you'd break them up as you're doing what 13 year olds do, 14, 13 and I'll never forget I see a guy I couldn't understand what the guy was doing at the trunk of his car.
I was like, what is that guy doing?
And I realized I got closer.
It was the most bizarre thing.
There is a guy in the trunk of the car with his ass out of the car.
So he had his ass sticking out of the trunk of the car, this giant hairy ass.
And another guy had his robe lifted up and he was standing there.
joe rogan
In Saudi Arabia?
bryan callen
Fucking, yeah, fucking the guy in his ass.
So I couldn't, I could just see an ass sticking out of a trunk.
And he had his, I was 13, me and my friend Michael, and he was jamming, he was fucking standing up, and I was like, and I go, I remember, I go, I was kind of the leader of us two, and I go, I see it, he looks at me, and he didn't say anything, he just looks at me with a blank expression as he's just drilling some poor gimp in some Cadillac.
And I go, Michael, let's run away!
I've never run faster.
You know when you can't feel your legs?
I was just like...
brendan schaub
Scared, man.
bryan callen
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Dude, I don't have any molest stories.
bryan callen
I do.
I have another one.
joe rogan
That's a crazy one, though.
So that guy, what did he do when he saw you running away from him?
unidentified
Nothing.
joe rogan
Did he try to finish real fast?
Did he continue?
bryan callen
Just looked at me with heavy eyes.
joe rogan
And kept banging the dude?
bryan callen
Uh-huh.
Kept thrusting.
joe rogan
What do you think would happen if he just stood there unimpressed?
That's what you should have done, like rap style.
You just stood him down.
bryan callen
Let me know when you're done.
I'll show you how it's done.
Let me know when you're finished.
joe rogan
The worst audience member ever at a comedy club.
You know these guys?
That's the last thing you'd ever want to see.
Imagine that.
Are you doing that to him while he's fucking a guy in the ass in a truck?
bryan callen
Seemed better.
brendan schaub
You got molested again, though, Callum?
joe rogan
Weak strokes.
bryan callen
Well, no, I remember I met an older dude, and he was a cool guy.
We hung out.
joe rogan
That's how it starts.
bryan callen
It always starts with an older dude.
We were in Wisconsin.
brendan schaub
In a sweatsuit.
bryan callen
We're in Wisconsin.
The Northwoods of Wisconsin.
Summertimes.
And I remember I meet this guy, and there was this girl there, two girls, older.
joe rogan
How old are they?
bryan callen
I don't know.
Who cares?
Let's say...
joe rogan
Forties?
bryan callen
Thirteen or something like that.
unidentified
Oh, Jesus.
bryan callen
Fourteen.
It was so hot.
How old were you?
Eleven, ten, something younger.
brendan schaub
Oh, they're not that old.
bryan callen
Even younger.
Younger.
Because I'll tell you why I know I was younger.
So, I'm hanging out with this guy.
How old is he?
I was such a little pervert.
How old is he?
He's a grown man?
I don't know, but I'm going to tell you how I know he was a lot older.
This is the point.
I actually say we should try to have sex with those girls.
I'm trying to conspire.
I don't know how old I was.
Or at least I was like, we should try to see their Boobs.
I don't know what I was saying to him.
He goes, yes, that's a great plan.
So we're talking.
He goes, come, we have to go to the woods and come up with a plan.
joe rogan
Oh, no.
bryan callen
Yeah, so I'm like, all right.
So we go to the woods.
brendan schaub
God damn it.
No wonder you've been molested several times.
bryan callen
The next thing I know, this is coming to me now.
The next thing I know, he pulls his pants down, and I notice how hairy his ass is.
So I go, that's weird.
There's his dick and his ass.
And he lies down and he goes, do you want to rub on top of me or no?
unidentified
And I go, I don't think so.
Do you want to rub on top of me or no?
bryan callen
I was young enough to have to think about it.
joe rogan
Imagine if that's his fucking go-to line.
bryan callen
I swear to God!
joe rogan
How do you get these kids to fuck you?
Dude, this is all you have to do.
You lie down and you go, do you want to rub on top of me or no?
And they always just start fucking you.
brendan schaub
And then a couple of kids go...
bryan callen
Yeah, sure.
benjamin jaffe
Spit on your asshole and start pounding away.
joe rogan
They all do it.
It's like hypnosis.
bryan callen
But he laid down with his legs straight.
It wasn't like he was bending legs straight.
You want to rub up the top of me or no?
And I go, I don't think...
I looked at his hairy ass.
Yeah.
I saw the crack and I was like, do I say yes?
I was like, this is vaguely sexual.
And I go, no, I don't think so.
So then he gets up and he goes, all right, well, just hold on for a second.
And he starts, I'm going to show you something.
And I go, all right.
And he starts jerking off.
unidentified
Oh.
bryan callen
And I go, I tickle my 2-2-2.
I used to rub it on the bed.
brendan schaub
Tickle my 2-2?
bryan callen
Yeah, that's what my mother called it.
So I go, so he's wanking off.
And that was the first time he goes, hold on, ready?
Ready?
And I go, yeah.
And he comes.
joe rogan
On you?
brendan schaub
He busted in your face?
bryan callen
No, not in my face.
He just shoots.
And I go, what the fuck?
I go, what's that white?
I couldn't believe seeing white stuff.
It was the first time I saw somebody ejaculate.
brendan schaub
Bro, hold on.
You were watching this dude jack off in the woods for a solid four minutes.
bryan callen
Hey man, it just came to me.
joe rogan
What were you saying to him?
bryan callen
I don't remember.
It was so long ago.
Yeah, Jim.
Hold on, hold on.
joe rogan
What do you call this, mister?
bryan callen
Yeah, hold on.
He was like, watch this.
Wait for it.
Wait a minute.
Hold on.
Wait for it.
What's going to happen?
And then we went.
Then we left and we went and spied on those girls.
brendan schaub
You hung out with him after that.
bryan callen
I did, I sure did.
brendan schaub
You watched a grown man jack off, bust near you, not on your face, then you went to go find chicks with him.
bryan callen
That's right.
joe rogan
So you know what, man?
When you're 11 years old, weird shit can happen to you.
brendan schaub
Not to this 11 year old.
joe rogan
You got lucky.
brendan schaub
Hell no.
joe rogan
You got lucky, but I'm not saying that would have happened.
You would have stood around while the guy jerked off, but I am saying it's possible that a guy, when you were 11, could have lied down and say, hey, you want to rub on top of me or no?
And you would have been like, what the What the fuck?
You would have said no, 100% no.
unidentified
I didn't say 100% no, for sure.
joe rogan
No, I don't.
bryan callen
I thought about it, because I thought that looks like...
joe rogan
The guy would be down there, you might be surprised.
bryan callen
Right.
joe rogan
I would not be surprised.
bryan callen
I just thought I could pretend that's a girl.
I could rub against that and pretend it's a girl.
joe rogan
You can pretend it's a girl.
What?
Wait, hold on.
Where the fu- Are you revealing- Is this a confession thing?
He wanted to let a little bit of it out, and we were talking about funny shit?
You're like, no, no, no, I still have to add some stuff that I did that was- I was thinking about him being a girl.
brendan schaub
There's just a couple million people listening.
Biggest podcast ever.
bryan callen
This was last week, guys.
unidentified
What?
joe rogan
This guy looks like the Iron Sheik in his prime.
Thick as fuck.
brendan schaub
Jacked off a gallon mustache.
joe rogan
Monster, hairy asshole.
bryan callen
Smells like wood leather.
brendan schaub
I'll tell you what bothers me about the story is you watched him for several minutes jack off and ejaculated.
bryan callen
Sure did.
I just didn't know what was going to happen.
joe rogan
We found a video of the guy.
We have the guy.
Pull up that video on my Twitter feed of the Russian dude doing kettlebells in the snow with no shirt on.
unidentified
What?
joe rogan
This is why you shouldn't fuck with Russians.
They're a different kind of human.
And everybody's freaking out about this Putin stuff, like Putin assassinated, or allegedly.
Putin's actually investigating it, and he's quite upset that this happened.
bryan callen
He's very upset.
He wrote a letter to the guy's mother.
joe rogan
So, anyway, bottom line is, Russia is a different fucking, it's a different beast.
bryan callen
He's still stuck on the jacking off.
joe rogan
Look at this video of this dude.
There's a video of this dude.
He's in the fucking snow in Russia, and he's doing the man-maker.
It's on the Keith Weber kettlebell cardio workout series.
He does the entire man-maker.
No fucking shirt on in the winter.
Hard to tell how much that kettlebell weighs.
It depends on the construction of it.
It's either 35 pounds or 50 pounds.
brendan schaub
Is that an on it, Bill?
joe rogan
No, no.
This is the motherland.
They don't want on it up there.
Probably looks about 50 pounds, right?
brendan schaub
That dude's in shape, too.
joe rogan
Yeah.
Oh, fuck yeah, he is.
Watch him do this shit, man.
The dude's stacked.
He does this with no shirt on in fucking Russia in the winter, and he talks Russian to his dog who waits for him.
You know why?
brendan schaub
It's just a different breed, man.
joe rogan
Because this guy's throwing this fucking 50 pound kettlebell around like it ain't shit.
And he's doing it over and over again.
Switch hands, neck size.
bryan callen
If you survived Russian history, that was a distillation process.
joe rogan
This is some warrior genetics you're looking at here.
This guy's all fucking stud.
Oh, by the way, he might be 70. Oh, and both of you are lucky.
brendan schaub
This isn't the guy who's trying to fuck both of you as kids.
bryan callen
By the way, you're damn right about that.
joe rogan
Well, this looks like a tall fella.
He's not a very big fella.
brendan schaub
No, he's short, for sure.
joe rogan
But this guy's a tank.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Because he's rattling these fucking...
I mean, I don't know how much that weighs.
It might only be 35 pounds.
Dude, that looks pretty.
That looks heavier than 35. I think that's heavier, Joe.
It looks like a 50 to me.
bryan callen
It looks like a 75-er.
joe rogan
No, it would be 72, I think.
70 or 72. That looks heavy, Joe.
I don't know.
It might be.
bryan callen
It's the size of his head!
joe rogan
Yeah, but there's some ones that they make that are really light.
They look like that, but they're really light.
bryan callen
I've used them before.
I've used them before.
joe rogan
If you see those colored ones, you ever see the ones that are colored?
brendan schaub
Yeah.
joe rogan
Those are light as fuck.
brendan schaub
And they're big.
joe rogan
Big.
They look like you're using superhuman strength and it's like 30 pounds.
bryan callen
But that thing is as big as his Russian head.
He's got a big Russian head.
joe rogan
That looks like a real Dragon Door style or one of the Onnit ones.
It's all cast iron.
If that's the case, that's probably 50 pounds.
brendan schaub
That dude's just way tougher than me.
joe rogan
Yeah, look at this motherfucker.
He's just switching hands.
Clean press.
The entire time we've been talking, this guy has never taken a break.
He's just throwing around this 50-pound kettlebell.
bryan callen
Kind of awesome.
I gotta take my kettlebell workouts way more seriously.
brendan schaub
Are those ankle weights he's wearing, though?
That's the only thing I question.
joe rogan
No, those are fucking Let's Get Physical socks.
Look at the people behind them freezing, covered up like they're Bedouins.
bryan callen
That's a good time to live there, huh?
joe rogan
This guy's an animal.
This is the best way to stay warm in the winter.
Just keep doing this.
Maybe this is a strategy.
You know how you go to those cryotherapy places and they keep the inflammation down?
Maybe if you do fucking heavy workouts like this while you're in the middle of a snowstorm, it might actually aid your performance.
brendan schaub
Bad idea.
joe rogan
You know what I'm saying?
Because, like, you think about what this guy's doing.
This is all about the burnout.
These are all, like, high rep exercises he's doing.
brendan schaub
The blood's flowing.
joe rogan
Yeah, blood's flowing.
It's cold.
brendan schaub
Pushing the inflammation out.
joe rogan
He's doing one-arm presses and then full deep squats.
So this guy, in the course of us watching him, we're assuming that's about 50 pounds, has probably done, like, what, 30 or 40 deep squats with that 50-pound kettlebell over his head, and he continues to do it.
He's an animal!
bryan callen
Yeah, he's an animal.
joe rogan
Look at him.
But doing it like this while it's freezing out with no shirt on, it also makes you keep the pace up.
You don't want to get cold.
brendan schaub
That's a chow.
bryan callen
That's a chow.
The dog is a chow, ladies and gentlemen.
joe rogan
Socks are perfect.
He's got Olivia Newton-John blaring in his Russian-built car.
bryan callen
I think they're ankles.
joe rogan
This motherfucker's doing windmills, son.
Windmills after all this with that 50 pounds.
That shit is not easy.
brendan schaub
I guess that's a chow.
That's one of those...
joe rogan
Yeah, that's a weird Russian dog.
bryan callen
No, it's a chow.
brendan schaub
Nah.
bryan callen
It's 100% chow.
100% chow, by the way.
brendan schaub
Are they Russian descent?
bryan callen
No, they are Chinese.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Which is right next to Russia.
brendan schaub
Good point.
bryan callen
Well, alright.
joe rogan
Motherfucker.
That thing wandered into his yard one day.
Come with me, your friend, comrade.
unidentified
Comrade.
joe rogan
You, live with me.
I give you scraps.
unidentified
You bark when people come to me and I kill.
joe rogan
I kill and I feed you people.
brendan schaub
He's struggling a little bit on this side.
unidentified
Yes, he is.
joe rogan
This motherfucker's working hard.
brendan schaub
That's a hundred reps deep, though.
joe rogan
Yeah, he's working hard, man.
bryan callen
Yeah, he's a stout little man.
joe rogan
This is a savage fucking workout for a no-shirted man in the middle of snow.
brendan schaub
That dude wants to rape kids.
We're all fucked.
joe rogan
That dog doesn't give a fuck about the cold, by the way.
unidentified
Look at him.
brendan schaub
Look how much hair he has on, man.
joe rogan
It's pretty dope to be a dog like that and live in a place like that.
Everybody else is suffering.
brendan schaub
Oh, this is what I was thinking.
Do you think homeless dogs have just the best lives of any dog?
Because they're outside all the time, and they do feed them.
You know what I'm saying?
bryan callen
Dogs are pack animals, so as long as they have a pack to be with, yes.
If they're alone, no.
unidentified
No, no, no.
brendan schaub
I'm saying they have an owner, but he's homeless.
joe rogan
This Russian motherfucker has not stopped.
Somebody needs to dub us talking about this guy over his video and send it to him.
Respect, comrade.
Respect, we give to you respect.
bryan callen
It's true.
He's a badass.
joe rogan
He's a fucking savage.
Look at him.
He's still going.
unidentified
God.
joe rogan
He's still going.
That guy, that's a lot of goddamn reps this guy's done in five minutes.
He's in really good shape.
bryan callen
He's a crossfitter.
joe rogan
Please.
Don't insult, please, from Motherland.
These are kettlebells.
bryan callen
Then I drink vodka.
joe rogan
This is Russia.
bryan callen
I drink vodka all night.
joe rogan
Have you ever seen that picture of young Fedor in front of kettlebells?
bryan callen
No.
joe rogan
Maybe one of the best pictures ever of a fucking post-training session.
bryan callen
Oh, I need to see that.
joe rogan
Yeah.
Post-training session, great super athlete.
Because the kettlebells being a Russian invention, you know, like you see Fedor with all these kettlebells around him, it sort of signifies like this was a different motherfucker.
bryan callen
A man made from iron.
joe rogan
Russian Sambo champion.
Look at that fucking photo.
God damn, son.
bryan callen
And he was thin.
joe rogan
Well, he had very little body fat, but he was very thick, muscled back then.
bryan callen
Look at the back on that guy.
joe rogan
He had less body fat back then, but more muscle.
He was a big fucker.
But that's also, he's pumped.
Like, he's probably just worked out, in which you get real thick, because you're all pumped up in blood.
bryan callen
You don't get more masculine.
joe rogan
Than that, dude?
bryan callen
No.
joe rogan
How about the fact that he never gave a fuck about his gut?
bryan callen
He's just sad.
joe rogan
He didn't give a fuck.
bryan callen
He's Russian!
joe rogan
He didn't give a fuck.
Just went in there dropping bombs on people.
brendan schaub
Is he married?
joe rogan
Yeah, he's been married and divorced a couple times.
brendan schaub
He does paintings and shit, too.
bryan callen
He does?
joe rogan
He does art.
Yeah, he does drawings and shit.
brendan schaub
It's not the best shit you've ever seen.
joe rogan
Well, it's not bad.
It does cartoons.
It's weird.
It's weird.
It's like the shit a real serial killer thinks of when they're out there smashing people's heads.
bryan callen
Well, his brother's a fighter and spent a lot of time in jail, I think, right?
joe rogan
His brother's a maniac.
brendan schaub
His brother's a different level.
joe rogan
He's covered with prison tattoos.
On his back, there's a picture of the angel of death holding a baby.
bryan callen
Well, that's not gangster shit.
joe rogan
Yeah, it's all prison tattoo shit.
You've never seen it?
Pull that up.
Alexander Melianenko's tattoos.
He's in jail right now for rape.
bryan callen
Oh, no.
joe rogan
Really bad guy.
I don't know whether or not he did it, but he's definitely an alcoholic.
He definitely gets drunk.
He's very different than Fedor, whereas Fedor is completely composed, very disciplined.
Alexander also had some significant losses.
He lost in pride to Mirko.
Mirko head-kicked him.
Yeah, but this is like, look at his back.
It's like the angel of death holding a baby.
It's weird.
Yeah, he's got weird, like, he had these ones on his shoulders, but he had them taken off.
It was like they had these gang tattoos on his shoulders, but he had them removed and changed to some sort of pattern.
bryan callen
He's a...
brendan schaub
You think anyone's fucking with that guy in prison?
bryan callen
Nah.
joe rogan
Jesus Christ, not a good idea.
That guy knocked James Thompson out in about 15 seconds.
brendan schaub
Oh, that's right.
joe rogan
Yeah, he's a beast, dude.
Alexander Emelianenko is a beast.
You know, I mean, he got knocked out by Krokop, but he fought Krokop when Krokop was just on fire.
Do you think that there's dudes that just like they hit this like BJ Penn level like BJ Penn when he beat Sanchez BJ Penn when you know he was like at his very best like this is only like a couple of years You can keep that intensity.
brendan schaub
I think it's only a couple fights.
I don't think it's years really.
joe rogan
Yeah Do you think that maybe that's where Kane is right now?
That's why he's getting all these injuries that yes fucking junior dos Santos wars were just so insanely I think junior junior is not the same after those wars either I No, I don't think so either.
brendan schaub
But you've got to remember too, back in those pride days, those guys were fighting a lot more frequent.
So we got to see the very best when they were at their prime.
And now in the UFC, you fight, if you're a star, two times a year, maybe three.
Grant did people say, oh, cowboy.
I'm talking about a superstar.
He's fighting maybe twice a year.
Now think of us back in the day, we'd see him three, four times.
joe rogan
And you remember when they used to make these fights?
They put the fight together within, like, three or four weeks of the fight?
brendan schaub
Yeah.
joe rogan
Like, what happens in the UFC when there's a fallout would happen in Pride all the time.
All the time.
Instead of, like, you having, like, eight weeks to prepare, like, they would tell you, like, a couple weeks out.
Like, occasionally there would be, like, a long wait, you knew.
Like, when the...
Open weight Grand Prix tournament pretty much we knew who it was but then last minute like guys were getting added Josh Barnett I think was one of the later editions I might be wrong about that though, but I mean you look at that lineup Barnett, Noguera, Crow Cop, Hunt Jesus fucking Christ Those days man.
Toughest motherfuckers on the planet Yeah, it's interesting when you think about that time, the Wild West days of Pride, you know, head stomps and soccer kicks on the ground when Vanderlei fought Tamora and he was holding off the rope and stomping on his face.
brendan schaub
Bro, when Crow Cop fought Ron Waterman and soccer kicked him in the face?
joe rogan
Oh yeah, man.
Oof, I forgot about that fight.
Yeah, and Ron Waterman ate it too.
He ate a couple of those.
brendan schaub
Waterman was one of my first training partners.
He tapped me out with his titties.
Got in my guard and just smothered me with his titties.
That strong, man.
Almost broke my nose.
unidentified
Jesus.
brendan schaub
I knew nothing at the time.
My training partner was Ron Waterman and Shane Carlin, my first two training partners.
They were just rotating on me and just dismantled me.
joe rogan
That's a terrible idea.
I wish I was your friend back then.
brendan schaub
That'd be nice.
bryan callen
Did you have to talk shit?
brendan schaub
No one said shit.
Shane was like, nah, this is making you tough, man.
I'm like, I know, man, but he tapped me out with his titties, and it's super embarrassing.
joe rogan
Okay, the tapping you out with the titties is the least of your concerns.
That is the least of your concerns.
brendan schaub
We didn't spar.
joe rogan
Oh, thank God.
brendan schaub
But you know what?
Ron used to whoop my ass, and then four years down the road, B-Shop was working on stand-up, and he comes in to spar, and I'm like, yes.
Oh, me and Shane put it on him.
joe rogan
Well, he was a big guy, but he didn't move that good.
brendan schaub
No, he's real stiff, but so strong.
joe rogan
Oh, yeah.
brendan schaub
Crazy strong.
joe rogan
Do you remember Dan Bobish?
No.
Goddamn!
Dan Bobish was a dude who was in the...
He lost to Mark Kerr in the UFC where Kerr got on top of him and stuck his chin in his eye socket.
You used to be allowed to stick your chin in someone's eye socket.
So dudes would get a hold of your head, they would shove their chin, like get the mount or something like that.
You know, any position where they get on top of you, they can balance out.
And they would get their hand behind your head and then get your fucking chin right in your eyeball and just squeeze.
And, you know, your eye's on fire.
You get blowout fractures in your eyes.
Guys are seeing sparks and shit.
brendan schaub
Some meathead shit.
joe rogan
You got a giant man like Mark Kerr.
bryan callen
I never even thought of that.
joe rogan
That's so vicious.
See if you can find that.
Mark Kerr taps Dan Bobish with his chin.
Yeah, I was there, dude.
I interviewed him afterwards.
It was the glory days.
brendan schaub
Was his eye jacked up?
joe rogan
Oh, yeah, he had a tap, man.
bryan callen
Still may have the best body.
Still may have the best body in those American flag shorts of any...
joe rogan
Super nice guy, too.
bryan callen
Yeah, great guy.
joe rogan
Steve Kerr?
Yeah, Mark Kerr.
bryan callen
Super, super nice guy.
260?
About 260?
joe rogan
Always a very, very cool dude.
Regardless of what was going on in his life, if you saw Mark Kerr, he was always...
brendan schaub
Your boy Ken Shamrock's fighting again.
joe rogan
Yeah, he's fighting Kimbo.
brendan schaub
Crazy.
bryan callen
He's fighting your boy Kimbo.
joe rogan
Yeah, and you know what I said?
I liked about what he said.
He goes, I've earned the right to fight for fun.
He goes, yeah, I'm doing it for money.
I'm a professional, but I've earned the right to fight for fun.
He goes, I don't want to go play golf.
He goes, I don't want to go hiking.
I don't want to go hunting.
I don't want to go fishing.
He goes, I like fighting.
He goes, I like the camaraderie that comes.
We're preparing for a big fight.
I enjoy it.
But I love the way he said it.
You know, it's like very honest and refreshing.
And it's true.
He has earned it.
Ken Shamrock's goddamn all-time great.
He's a legend.
Hall of Famer.
And he had some fucking great technique back in the day, man.
Ken Shamrock, man.
Go to the early UFC when he tapped Pat Smith and fucked his leg up with that heel hook.
brendan schaub
Ken Shamrock's a monster.
joe rogan
Dropped down for that heel hook.
Pat Smith had no idea what the fuck was going on.
bryan callen
He was fighting in Japan, right?
Way before.
joe rogan
Fought in Pancreas.
Yeah, he fought a bunch of...
We fought in Pride for a while.
He had some good fights in Pride, man.
Ken Shamrock had some...
He was developing some pretty decent stand-up.
Remember that fight where the PD, my heart, he had something going on with his heart.
His heart was beating too fast in one of his fights.
Remember that?
He stopped the fight.
I think it was Fujita.
But he was putting it on him before that.
I was really impressed with his striking.
Like, Ken Shamrock doesn't get enough credit because he fought Tito Ortiz when he was already, you know, past his prime and his knee was fucked up when he fought Tito.
The first time he fought Tito, he basically didn't have an ACL. Wow.
Like, he was fucked up.
bryan callen
I was at that fight with you.
joe rogan
And Eddie.
After the fight, it was crazy.
Like, you know, Tito was still mad at him and Ken said to him, he was just real honest about it.
He goes, hey, man, we made some money.
You know, we made some money.
Let's let it go.
You won.
Congratulations.
And he gave him a hug and, like, you could see Tito, like, noticeably calmed down.
You know, Tito was still mad even after he kicked his ass because of all the trash talking.
Ken's like, but look, look what happened.
It's like, all this trash talk, we both made a lot of money.
It's over, you won.
Yeah, but then it rekindled.
That's very mellow about it.
bryan callen
Then it rekindled, though, the second time.
joe rogan
There's more money!
unidentified
More money!
joe rogan
Get some more money!
Come on!
bryan callen
Yeah, you're right.
joe rogan
Get this money, son.
bryan callen
I remember you and I, we talked to Tito after that fight.
Remember that?
A long time ago.
We went there.
joe rogan
Well, I ran into Ken at a diner at like 1 o'clock in the morning the night of the fight.
He was eating.
bryan callen
Night of the fight after?
joe rogan
I'm like, how do you do it?
Before it.
You know, it was into the morning.
It's 1 o'clock in the morning.
He's going to fight the next day.
And he's out at a diner.
And he was real.
He had been through so much.
He'd fought so many times.
bryan callen
20 days.
joe rogan
He goes, hey, man.
He goes, it only hurts after it's over.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
That's great.
And he's like laughing about it.
He's like, so I'm going to go fight tomorrow.
Like, that was his attitude about it.
This is Mark Kerr and Dan Bobish.
Let's see if we can see the video of him putting his fucking cheek in his eye.
See, he got him in side control.
Beautiful back.
Look at the sides of this guy.
bryan callen
He certainly did.
joe rogan
And Dan Bobish is goddamn enormous.
bryan callen
Look at Bobish's legs.
joe rogan
So see the way he's grabbing his head with his arm?
So he gets on side control, and he gets on top of him.
Can you see it?
Did they have a good angle?
Poor production team back then.
Full mount.
Chin in the eyeball.
You can't see it in that angle, man.
Can't see it, I don't think.
I don't think they have a...
brendan schaub
Well, if he goes to Mount here, we'll be able to see it.
joe rogan
That was it.
That was the tap.
It's over.
But this is the full sequence.
Let's see it.
Look how strong he is.
He's like, bitch, you ain't going nowhere.
Mark Kerr back in the day.
bryan callen
I think Mark Kerr wrestled at 188 in college, too, by the way.
joe rogan
Well, you know what, man?
He had a lot of creatine in his diet.
He certainly did.
He fought in pride, and he definitely didn't take steroids then, right?
brendan schaub
Nope.
It'd be crazy to assume that.
bryan callen
I know.
joe rogan
Well, you know what, man?
That documentary was super brave.
bryan callen
Smashing machines?
joe rogan
Super brave of him.
I mean, he basically let them document his ascension into drug addiction.
And a lot of that came from fighting, like painkillers and shit he got addicted to.
It was everything.
Steroids, painkillers, like...
bryan callen
He's a great guy.
brendan schaub
I haven't seen that documentary.
It's good, huh?
joe rogan
Yeah, it's pretty good.
This is actually pretty fucking good technique here.
For the day.
brendan schaub
For passing?
joe rogan
Yeah, hell yeah.
bryan callen
Kurt was a hell of a wrestler.
Big collegiate wrestler.
joe rogan
See, you can't really see it here, but he's got his chin in his fucking eyeball.
Look at him grab his eye.
Look at him grab his eye.
unidentified
Damn.
joe rogan
Look at him, see?
unidentified
Jesus.
joe rogan
Yeah, I remember that, man.
That was back in...
Look at the size of that motherfucker, Jesus Christ!
Jesus Christ!
God damn, that's a big man.
bryan callen
Yeah, because I said, you wrestled at 188?
He goes, yeah, I put a little Miracle-Gro on my cereal.
Really?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Yeah, it was a different animal.
brendan schaub
How's he doing now?
joe rogan
Not so good.
No?
He was selling cars for a while.
Lost a shit ton of weight.
He fought...
A few times since they got knocked out by King Mo, and he looked like really out of shit.
brendan schaub
Oh, that's right.
unidentified
Remember that?
Yeah.
joe rogan
King Mo smashed him in the first round.
unidentified
Destroyed him.
joe rogan
It was really not fun to watch.
It looked bad.
He went to sleep.
And you could tell he was in a bad spot.
And then he wound up retiring from MMA, sold some cars.
I don't know what he's doing now.
bryan callen
I hope he's doing well.
joe rogan
I hope so, too.
He's a good dude.
He's always a good dude, but he definitely had his demons, man.
Like, a lot of those dudes.
I mean, you were talking about it.
You know, it hit you for a few months.
Those goddamn pain pills, man.
You can get...
Those demons can fucking haunt you.
You can get sucked in.
brendan schaub
Dude, pain pills are the most dangerous drug in the world.
Hands down.
There's nothing more dangerous than prescription pills.
joe rogan
They're trying to slow that down.
They're trying to cut back in America.
I mean, they're starting to pass new legislation.
brendan schaub
Too much money to be made.
bryan callen
When you say pain kills, you're talking about codeine, oxytocin, what?
joe rogan
All that.
unidentified
Oxycontin.
bryan callen
Oxycontin, oxytocin.
joe rogan
But the thing being, there's still so much profit, even if they cut back.
Yeah.
There's still overprescribing.
brendan schaub
Too much money in them, man.
joe rogan
There's just too many.
I mean, I get the idea.
Like, what would you rather do if you had, like, severe pain all the time?
Would you rather be addicted to opiates and just deal with that pain and be fine?
Or would you rather be absolutely miserable and sober all day long?
And I think you have the right as an adult to choose to be fucked up on opiates.
brendan schaub
Yeah, but there are Addicting.
You have to depend on them.
And then you also got to realize when you take painkillers, it sends a message to your body that says, oh, we're doing fine.
It's healed.
We don't need to send those receptors to heal the muscle or bone, whatever it is.
So you're fucked, man.
Or you could smoke marijuana.
joe rogan
Goddamn, dude.
Damn.
Or you can eat marijuana.
You don't even have to smoke it.
unidentified
Yeah, whichever.
joe rogan
You can get that CBD oil that people are using to help tumors.
brendan schaub
But it's crazy addictive, man.
Help inflammation.
Painkillers, you get stuck on them, you're in trouble.
unidentified
You're in trouble.
joe rogan
Yeah.
They're going to come up with a way to heal injuries that they don't have today.
And we're going to look back at these days like it was the dark ages.
Like, you know how we look back at using leeches and shit?
unidentified
Yeah, yeah.
joe rogan
You know, when they had to saw people's legs off and they broke.
They didn't have to put rods inside your bone.
Like Anderson Silva's leg.
Guess what, son?
We're going to have to take that sucker off.
They would do back then.
It would fester and rot.
They wouldn't know what to do with it.
bryan callen
You'd die most of the time for antibiotics?
joe rogan
They probably braced it and some people survived.
What are the odds of you getting both legs connected perfectly?
Both bones, rather.
His leg snapped in half.
bryan callen
I had an orthopedic surgeon tell me that if you're in the wilderness, somebody gets a compound fracture, I said, what are you doing?
He said, pull.
I said, what do you mean?
He said, Your bone wants to go back in place.
Take that ankle.
Pull it out.
Pull it out.
And the bone will reconnect.
And then splint it.
brendan schaub
So you're just supposed to line it back up?
bryan callen
Yep.
He said, pull that fucker right out.
And I went, oh!
And that's exactly what they do to you.
They will pull.
brendan schaub
Really?
bryan callen
Do you ever see somebody, a doctor reset a shoulder when it comes out of the socket?
joe rogan
No, but I had a pretty significant break of my arm when I was a little kid.
unidentified
Oof.
joe rogan
I remember them setting.
It would freak me the fuck out.
My arm went like that.
Like it was like bent up.
Like that.
I fell on the monkey bars and I tried to block myself with my hand and my forearm just snapped.
It just went crack.
Oof.
Yeah, it happens a lot.
It happened to my daughter.
brendan schaub
It happens a lot to kids.
joe rogan
A lot of kids.
My friend's daughter, it happened to.
Another kid that they're friends with happened to.
brendan schaub
But when you're a kid, it's all good, right?
Because they're so young.
joe rogan
They heal so quick, it's amazing.
Their bones just go.
They just fuse up.
They take the cast off in three weeks.
bryan callen
They're soft.
joe rogan
Dude, they grow like wolves.
The thing is, with little kids, one of the big issues is not even the bone healing that quickly because it heals so quickly.
As long as it's set correctly, it heals very quickly.
But it's the stiffness.
You don't want to lose the range of motion.
So that's what my daughter had issues with.
She had to go through some range of motion stuff that takes a couple weeks before the motion comes back.
But you compare it to the way you would be if you broke your arm at 48. It would take a long fucking time.
It's rough, especially if you don't use help.
Which is one of the reasons why I was willing to forgive Anderson.
And I'm not forgiving Anderson.
He doesn't need my forgiveness.
I'm just saying one of the reasons why I go, look, man, I'm judging the dude before he fought Chris Weidman.
I'm judging him up to this point when he's 38 years old and he gets knocked dead by this young stud.
brendan schaub
I agree.
joe rogan
I go, that guy before that is the best ever.
brendan schaub
And this guy is unfortunate.
The post-fail test is what sucks.
joe rogan
I can't.
I can't speak about this because I know some shit that I'm not supposed to know or that's not out there yet.
And once it does get out there, then we can talk about it.
brendan schaub
Cool.
joe rogan
But the person who told me about it...
brendan schaub
Legit.
joe rogan
Legit.
And...
brendan schaub
We don't have time.
We just move on.
joe rogan
This is one thing for sure.
For sure he took some shit he wasn't supposed to take to make his leg healed.
For sure.
Can't explain...
There's a really goofy explanation.
I'll explain after the show.
unidentified
Cool.
joe rogan
But it'll all come out eventually.
brendan schaub
Moving on.
How about Burt Watson?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
That sucks, man.
I don't know what happened there, man.
I heard a couple different stories.
brendan schaub
I've heard a story, but I'm just saying, we don't have to talk details.
It just sucks he's gone, man.
joe rogan
Yeah, he quit, apparently.
That's the word is that he quit.
He got in an altercation with someone or something.
I don't know what happened.
Or he'd just get tired of it, man.
The guy was traveling to fucking China and traveling to this place and that place in Brazil.
brendan schaub
He was the manager of Joe Frazier.
joe rogan
Yeah, he's been around a long time.
brendan schaub
Crazy, right?
joe rogan
And he's the nicest guy.
brendan schaub
One of the best human beings you've ever met in your entire life.
joe rogan
One of the nicest guys ever.
I don't know what happened.
brendan schaub
They don't make two Burt Watsons, ever.
joe rogan
I agree.
brendan schaub
Irreplaceable.
joe rogan
I gave him that nickname, Babyshit to the Stars.
brendan schaub
Oh, really?
joe rogan
Yeah, that was my nickname.
I used to say it when he got on stage, when he would get on stage.
unidentified
Oh, that's right.
joe rogan
He would say, Burt Watson, babysit to the stars.
Because that's what he does.
He babysits everybody.
He makes everybody's experience at the UFC smooth and easy.
He takes care of all your shit.
And so that when these fighters would fight, they would have this welcome feeling of being at home because Burt Watson was there to take care of everything.
bryan callen
You were talking about that.
When you'd see him, everything would be okay.
brendan schaub
Yeah, I mean, when you're going to fight these monsters and you check into the fighter hotel and it's like chaos, there's fans, and then you see Burt and he's just like, what's up, baby?
Everything's smooth, makes you feel calm.
Even in the back of the locker room, don't leave it to the judges.
Like, before I fought Travis Brown, remember that?
Don't leave it to the judges, boss.
Don't leave it to the judges.
They made you cry last time, I told you.
And he talks to you, and there's this comfort level where...
I don't know if anyone else in the world could do it, man.
And he was so damn good at it.
joe rogan
He's a genuinely really nice guy.
brendan schaub
Great human being.
joe rogan
So when he's doing that, you know, he's pumping everybody up.
That's his nature.
His nature is to pump you up to make you feel good.
He wants you to feel good when you see Bert Kreischer.
There's not a time that I saw that guy that I didn't give him a big giant hug.
bryan callen
Burt Kreischer are you talking about?
joe rogan
No.
Burt Watson.
Burt Watson.
Who said Kreischer?
bryan callen
Did I say Kreischer?
Did I? I was like, yeah.
joe rogan
Well, he's another one I love.
brendan schaub
I was like, that's probably a good guy, too.
joe rogan
He's going to be here tomorrow.
He's a great guy.
brendan schaub
Nice.
joe rogan
But Burt Watson.
Sorry.
brendan schaub
Burt Watson.
Burt Watson was the guy who...
He would make guys on the undercard feel like they were the main event.
You felt like you were literally the only guy fighting that night.
Like, he was just amazing.
joe rogan
But every time you would see him, you would hug him.
Just like, that's what...
bryan callen
He was just such a sweet guy.
unidentified
Those intangibles.
bryan callen
Those intangibles.
Some people just have that...
That quality, that sort of...
joe rogan
Well, you know what the problem is, man?
It seems like a job that other people could do.
So it says, like, you know, maybe sometimes people don't appreciate...
I think you'd be surprised.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
It seems like it.
When you look at it.
Like, what's he doing that's so important?
You know, like, why is this guy...
Why is he getting all this attention?
brendan schaub
You can't write it down on paper.
unidentified
Like, some people would look at it that way.
joe rogan
No, you can't.
brendan schaub
What he does, you can't, like...
There's not a job description.
Okay, oh, you deal with divas and you deal with some of the toughest guys on the planet, and you make sure their week is smooth.
I get it.
Yeah, I can do that.
I'm telling you, man, it's gonna be a beast.
joe rogan
Yeah, I mean, I think other people probably could do it, but no one's gonna replace him.
He is his own unique individual, and he's a beautiful guy to be around.
I just think that's worth something.
I don't know.
I would've never let the guy quit.
bryan callen
Some people have a weird...
This guy, we used to train American Bulldogs for attack training.
And he had this dog on a leash called Axe, and we went and saw all those dogs because at the time I was thinking about buying an American Bulldog.
And he said, you can't go near that dog over there.
I said, okay.
He goes, yeah, he's by train.
He's a mean boy and everything.
And then they were talking about how there was a guy who just could walk up to every single dog he had in that whole lot, and he had a bunch of them.
And at one point, Axe was just the only person that Axe lets near him is this dude.
And they didn't tell him not to go up to Axe.
And he walked up to Axe.
And the next thing you know, he saw the guy get down on his knees and open his arms and hug Axe.
And Axe was wagging.
brendan schaub
Axe didn't rip his throat.
bryan callen
He just had a thing with dogs.
joe rogan
That's Bird, man.
bryan callen
Yeah, same thing.
Some people just have a...
I wonder if it's a...
joe rogan
They're retarded.
The dog recognizes they're too stupid to know any better.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
So the dog doesn't bite their face off.
bryan callen
God, man.
Who knows?
When I was going to do a movie a long time ago, I can't remember the name of the movie.
It actually got released.
And it was about a French soldier in the desert who meets a leopard.
And they have...
Defected by a woman named Lavinia Currier.
And I had a meeting with her and she said, well, we're looking for an actor.
The only issue is that the leopard will either like you or it won't like you.
If it doesn't like you, it'll never like you.
If it likes you, you'll be fine.
And that was a huge part of getting cast in the role.
And I said, what is it?
What is it?
How does it know?
How does it know?
And she said, we don't know.
It's maybe a scent or however you move, but it likes you.
You get the part.
Yeah, so getting the part's one thing, and then you have to go through the leopard test.
joe rogan
Oh, fucking Christ.
bryan callen
I was like, very interesting.
brendan schaub
Did you go through the leopard test?
bryan callen
No, I sure didn't.
I didn't get the part.
Not that good in acting.
joe rogan
So what were you thinking when he gets on his knees in front of the dog?
bryan callen
I'm sorry?
I didn't see that.
I didn't see it.
I was just told the story.
joe rogan
I don't like those stories that you weren't there for.
Don't tell those.
bryan callen
Yeah, I know.
brendan schaub
Tell another guy's story.
joe rogan
Yeah, those are not good.
You know why?
Because they might be bullshit.
bryan callen
I know.
unidentified
I hate those stories.
bryan callen
No, because somebody else was there.
You're freaking me out, man.
joe rogan
Yeah, but it might have been exaggerated.
The dog might have been super friendly.
bryan callen
I saw a video.
brendan schaub
It was a wiener dog, so there's no threat at all.
joe rogan
I went over my friend's house, and they're like, yeah, everybody's like, oh, his dog's scary.
I'm like, why, because it's a German Shepherd.
It's a friendly dog.
Comes over, wagging his tail.
brendan schaub
Everyone thinks Pitbull's a scary dog.
bryan callen
Well, you and I were talking about the difference between a liar and an exaggerator, right?
joe rogan
Yeah, you just took me down a journey where you don't know if you have no veracity.
brendan schaub
You're Brian Williams of the podcast.
unidentified
Damn it!
joe rogan
Do you see the meme of Brian Williams saying he escaped one of Ronda Rouse's arm bars?
unidentified
Oh, really?
joe rogan
That guy's fucked, huh?
brendan schaub
He's only out six months, man.
joe rogan
What the fuck ever?
bryan callen
It doesn't matter.
joe rogan
Dude, it's over, son.
You think?
unidentified
Fuck!
bryan callen
Fuck yes!
brendan schaub
You guys are crazy.
America, forget them.
Don't do a press conference.
joe rogan
Yeah, because no one can do that.
Listen, if I wanted to be a fucking newscaster tomorrow, if it wasn't for my checkered past, if I wanted to do it tomorrow.
unidentified
You ain't doing it.
joe rogan
Tomorrow.
brendan schaub
This is a clean record.
joe rogan
There's way too many endorsements of illegal drugs of mine online.
bryan callen
Also, you and I are friends.
We're friends.
If you found out I told a major lie like that.
brendan schaub
Like that dog story of the Taekwondo.
joe rogan
Which one?
bryan callen
I mean, I've told a lot of stories.
But if you...
If you found out that I was just a liar, there's a big difference, man.
That's where you go.
I've got to reassess everything now.
brendan schaub
Brian Williams is doing it for ratings.
There's a lot of competition out there, and he went, yeah, I was in this helicopter.
He heard of a helicopter crash, and he just put himself on.
bryan callen
He didn't need the ratings.
He didn't need ratings.
joe rogan
I think you're giving him too much credit.
I think you're saying that he's like, this is a calculated move.
But that's stupid.
You know why?
Because the true story is still awesome.
bryan callen
I agree.
joe rogan
Here's the true story.
The true story, he's in a helicopter.
There's a helicopter convoy of three helicopters.
The one in front of him gets hit with an RPG. They have to force land in a fucking sandstorm, and they're stuck in the sandstorm for two days.
That story's awesome, and that story's true.
That's a true story.
brendan schaub
No, it's not, though.
What you're missing is...
Is he was three and a half hours behind the one they hit with RPGs.
joe rogan
But this is what the pilot said.
The pilot said that's not the case.
The pilot said they landed an hour late because they had to get rid of their cargo.
They had a full load of cargo.
They landed, they got rid of their cargo, and then they met up with the other helicopter that got hit by the RPG. That's why they were an hour behind it.
brendan schaub
That's a dope story then.
joe rogan
But this is what the guy says.
They were all in a convoy.
And the helicopter pilot even said that the helicopter that Brian Williams was on took small arms fire.
Okay?
Then when he landed, or then when he told his story, two other people came out and said, no, they were the guys that were flying Brian Williams around, and he didn't fly him around.
And so he's like, you know what?
I don't even know anymore.
He said, I have suppressed this so much, and this is a guy who's a totally legit guy, and he said, I'm starting to get nightmares again, and I had already put this behind me.
Now you're making me relive this experience from 12 years ago, and I'm starting to question my own memory.
Which is super common in traumatic situations.
Like, for Brian Williams, let's be real.
I don't know that dude, but I guarantee you he's a pussy.
I guarantee you...
brendan schaub
100%.
He's never been in a fight in his life.
joe rogan
The way he apologized, the way...
I mean, this...
I mistakenly told...
bryan callen
I conflated the two stories.
joe rogan
Maybe you did, maybe you didn't.
That's not the way a goddamn man apologizes for fucking up.
What he should have done was instead of doing it that way where you're in some constricted time of 15 seconds they allot you to try to clear your name, you should do it on a YouTube video.
You should put a goddamn camera in front of you and as long as it takes to get your full thoughts out about how this possibly could have happened or that you did lie or what it was or that you got caught up in it and somebody repeated it and you almost forgot because you kept telling the story.
Whatever the fuck it is.
The actual story is pretty goddamn good.
bryan callen
Yeah.
joe rogan
At least according to the helicopter pilot.
The helicopter pilot said that his...
And then the helicopter pilot came out the next day and said he's not even sure of his own memory.
And so he doesn't want to talk about it anymore.
Which is that guy's fucking prerogative, right?
brendan schaub
So what do you think should happen to Brian Williams?
You don't think he should...
unidentified
Never!
joe rogan
It's over!
unidentified
No!
joe rogan
Get out of here with your news!
You're not telling me the news.
You're a bullshit artist.
bryan callen
You lied.
joe rogan
Yes, do something else, man.
unidentified
You lied.
joe rogan
Go host a talk show.
Go host a talk show.
brendan schaub
You think he's the first one ever to lie?
joe rogan
No, but you can't get caught.
You can't get caught as a news liar.
You know what I mean?
bryan callen
He's the face of NBC News!
joe rogan
Okay, how about this?
What if you found out that a dude was pitching for the World Series and he got paid off by some gambling organization to throw the game?
Would you ever trust that guy to fucking pitch a legit game again?
Would you ever?
brendan schaub
No, but Anderson Silva told me he didn't take steroids.
He's still your number one guy.
But Brian Williams can't tell the news these days?
bryan callen
I think it's fundamentally different.
joe rogan
Anderson Silva, at the end of his career, definitely did take steroids.
It's also different, though.
It was when he had a broken leg, and he's 39 years old.
bryan callen
Yeah.
joe rogan
You heal slow as fuck, and I'm with you.
I get it, man.
You shouldn't do it.
It's totally illegal.
I'm with you.
What I'm saying is, when I say Anderson's the best of all time, I'm not taking away his previous accomplishments because he fucked up when he was 39 years old.
What I'm saying is, if I look at him in his prime, from Chris Lieben all the way to Vitor Belfort to fucking Stefan Bonner, if I look at his fights, Dan Henderson...
brendan schaub
And we assume he's clean.
joe rogan
We assume he's clean.
We do not know.
We obviously don't know.
brendan schaub
We do not know.
I'm not saying he did anything.
joe rogan
If he really was clean, I give him the benefit of the doubt.
He never failed a test.
And I say that he was the best ever.
So Brian Williams had this one mess up.
I also give Fedor the benefit of the doubt.
But Fedor has more benefit because Fedor never tested positive.
unidentified
True.
joe rogan
Even though he was in a dirty league.
I mean, we could call it a dirty league, right?
brendan schaub
Pride.
100%.
joe rogan
100%, right?
Amazing fighters.
When we say dirty, we don't mean it disrespectfully.
It was the environment that they were competing in.
I say awesome.
So Fedor has way more benefit than doubt because he never tested positive, but yet wasn't even tested until he came to Strikeforce.
brendan schaub
Bro, all I'm saying is, so Brian Williams basically tested positive for this one time.
bryan callen
No, hold on.
brendan schaub
So we're just going to assume all of it's bullshit?
bryan callen
No, it's not that.
You trust Brian Williams to deliver information.
He is a journalist.
joe rogan
People tell him to deliver.
bryan callen
A journalist's credibility and an organization's credibility is everything when it comes to the news.
When you're a journalist and you have a story, you have to have, I think, depending on where you're at, they cross-check your You've got to get very, very good sources, and I think an editorial board has to okay it.
That's why we trust the news.
In my opinion, when someone like Brian Williams lies, and he blatantly lied, and it was a self-aggrandizement.
It was about making himself look not only like a sympathetic character, but a grandiose character.
joe rogan
He exaggerated.
bryan callen
It's more than an exaggeration.
It's a lie.
It's an absolute blatant lie.
And everybody uses these euphemisms.
And like, well, he wasn't forthcoming.
No, it's okay that you lied.
I forgive you as a lie.
joe rogan
What if he's dumb as fuck and he really thought that he was in the helicopter that got hit by the grenade?
brendan schaub
He might have been like, oh shit.
bryan callen
Too bad though, right?
joe rogan
Right, right.
But what if it's like the O.J. Simpson thing?
People thought that O.J. Simpson literally believed at the end of his time as a free man that he hadn't killed his wife.
There's people that knew him that had said this in interviews.
They said, I really believe that he doesn't believe he killed her.
Like, he got it in his head.
Like, he twisted his brain up.
brendan schaub
Technically, he didn't, though.
bryan callen
Who knows?
joe rogan
But not civilly.
The civil lawsuit...
brendan schaub
That's true.
bryan callen
But the courts have recognized that too, right?
They recognize that's the degree of mental delusion or whatever it is.
brendan schaub
All I'm saying, Brian Williams shouldn't be out of a job for lying.
bryan callen
I don't want to hurt the guy.
I don't think he should be banned for news.
joe rogan
Let's be honest about this.
First of all, he made a dossier of Brian Williams' lies, investigating his suspense accounts.
Okay, there you go.
He's done.
If they're doing that, what's the date on that again?
brendan schaub
Last month.
Wait, so he's lied more than once?
Then he's screwed.
joe rogan
But that's how it always is.
That's how it always is.
brendan schaub
I thought maybe you just exaggerated this one time.
bryan callen
People don't do it that way.
That's not human behavior.
When somebody steals money from you, they go in and they take money.
I promise you, they got a history of it.
brendan schaub
I disagree.
You don't know the situation.
You don't know if they're stealing money.
bryan callen
You're right.
Sometimes there can be an exception.
brendan schaub
We don't know his situation.
bryan callen
If he's desperate for money, I can understand that.
I'm just saying that typically when people behave a certain way and they get caught, they've probably done something like that in the past.
brendan schaub
I disagree.
I don't think you know the situation.
joe rogan
It's very possible that he hasn't.
But if they do have a dossier of lies on him, then your suspicions have kind of been confirmed.
brendan schaub
Yeah, he's screwed.
joe rogan
Yeah, he's fucked.
But it's also, it doesn't mean that he can't work.
And by the way, he was making $10 million a year.
bryan callen
He's just fine.
joe rogan
He's making a lot of fucking money.
That guy's going to be fine.
brendan schaub
I really don't give a shit if my newscasters are crystal clean.
joe rogan
Oh, you're crazy, man.
I don't want that to bully.
It's going to make you angry.
You're going to watch this puppet, this fucking state-run puppet.
brendan schaub
All of them are puppets.
joe rogan
But they're not.
They're not all puppets.
bryan callen
Dude.
brendan schaub
I'm not.
bryan callen
Brennan, he makes $10 million because you trust him.
Because he's a face of credibility.
The reason Brian Williams made $10 million a year is because he was the face of NBC News.
And when you brought him into your living room, like everybody did, what happened was you do that because when you get news from him, you believe it.
brendan schaub
That's why you're watching the news.
bryan callen
You're not watching fiction.
brendan schaub
I didn't trust him from the get-go.
I don't assume these are world-class, great Americans deliver us to the news.
You're a dummy for basically a corporation.
We're telling you what to say.
You exaggerate.
bryan callen
That's not how the news is.
You're also being simplistic about this.
joe rogan
Okay, but he's not really.
Because all Brian Williams' credentials...
I mean, what does he need to be able to do that you can't do?
Or that you can't do?
Or that I can't do?
I'm not good at reading off telepompters.
There's evidence online.
bryan callen
I know what you mean.
joe rogan
But that's all he has to do.
bryan callen
He's telegenic, right?
joe rogan
You get used to doing that.
He looks like someone's dad.
He's a good height.
He's got good facial structure.
brendan schaub
There's a reason for that.
That's what they hire.
joe rogan
Yeah.
His speech.
But he's not particularly a brilliant guy.
I had a conversation off the record once.
I won't say the guy's name, but he's one of those news guys.
And I was shocked at how dumb he seemed.
Like, we were having a conversation about, and I questioned him on a couple of things.
We were just, like, throwing some, you know, just shooting the shit back and forth.
And I forget what came up or what the subject was, but I remember thinking, this guy, he's not that bright.
bryan callen
What was he?
Was he hesitant, or what was it?
joe rogan
Clumsy.
Clumsy.
Like, clumsy in his thinking.
I can't really tell you what it is, because then you'll know who the fuck I'm talking about.
He's not a bad guy.
brendan schaub
My favorite is Anderson Cooper.
joe rogan
He's good.
But, you know, look.
Anderson Cooper is another one.
He's on television.
bryan callen
Well, Williamson was considered by people, I've only read this, I don't know, and I can't give you examples.
He was recognized by a lot of people who wrote about this afterwards as a pretty good journalist that got him to where he was, got him to be an anchor of NBC. He was a credible journalist who did good work, who wrote good articles and did good investigation.
And that's why it was such a bummer for so many people.
joe rogan
By a lot of accounts, I don't give a shit.
That's not true.
Other accounts, it's not true.
There's other people that said he was an asshole, that he was pretentious.
I mean, who the fuck knows?
Whenever something like this happens, you're going to get bullshit on both directions.
But all I know is...
We don't really need those guys.
We don't need someone that's a credible voice.
brendan schaub
I agree.
joe rogan
We need information.
That's what we need.
And it's almost worse when it comes from a personality, especially if we think that personality could potentially be manipulated.
It's that charismatic father figure that's reading you the news.
brendan schaub
Exactly.
joe rogan
It's kind of creepy in a way.
bryan callen
But a free, honest, and open press and knowing that you can trust the information you get, say, from the New York Times because they work very hard at making sure at least that the stories or the information, not the stories or the slant, but the information presented.
So, for example, somebody gets shot, a 12-year-old gets shot.
We know that's true.
We're not going to say they're making that up.
There has to be a certain amount of...
Non-cynical trust in a society where we just give people the benefit of the doubt.
brendan schaub
But you can't go through life believing that CNN and Dateline is the best source of news and they have no hidden motivation.
joe rogan
Well, they certainly do.
But here's the other part of the problem.
The format is incredibly flawed and antiquated.
The format of getting the entire world's news in an hour with 18 minutes of commercials is ridiculous.
You can't get it that way.
Because they're going to pick and choose the things that are exciting.
It's an entertainment show about events.
That's what it really is.
It's an entertaining show about events.
And that's why you have this asshole with a tie who speaks like your girlfriend's father.
Like, oh, this fucking guy again.
You know what I mean?
Like, this is who he is.
brendan schaub
And there's a reason Kim Kardashian posting a selfie, signing a deal for $100 million is the start of the news.
That's the catcher.
joe rogan
If it bleeds, it leads.
You know?
That's what they say.
bryan callen
And there's no doubt that political leanings by journalists bleed into the news.
brendan schaub
I think we give them too much credit.
I don't assume they're good people.
joe rogan
It's a shitty way to get information.
That's not how any of us should get information.
They shouldn't have it anymore.
It was important back in the day when they didn't have fucking reading.
They would get on TV and you'd read your newspaper in the morning and then in the afternoon you would listen to the news or you would watch the news.
It became on television.
We are at war with Japan.
unidentified
What?
joe rogan
Did you hear on the news?
We're in Japan.
Now you would get Twitter alerts like way before that shit would happen.
bryan callen
When you see Walter Cronkite back in the day, it was just very matter-of-fact.
He got on and read the news.
And one of the things, there's a famous story I think about, the guy who ran 60 Minutes.
And he came in and he said, good news and bad news.
Good news is, got very high ratings last night.
Bad news is, we got very high ratings last night.
And the news will never be the same.
So in other words, we now have a lot of pressure to get ratings.
What does that mean?
Sensationalize things.
What does that mean?
Focus on what's wrong, not what's right, self-fear, all these things.
joe rogan
Well, not only that, it's a disproportionate and non-accurate view of the world.
Because by only focusing on these negative things and not focusing on the Fucking hundreds of millions of positive things that are happening all the time all over the world.
You're getting this distorted version of reality that threatens people and makes people alert and react to stress.
You're reacting to danger.
brendan schaub
A sense of fear all the time.
I feel like ISIS lives next door.
bryan callen
And more importantly, let the guy fucking rant about ISIS. Jesus Christ, you just can't stop.
joe rogan
He's trying!
He's trying to do some comedy here, and you're just tripping all over like you're not listening.
brendan schaub
No, you got this, man.
Carry on.
joe rogan
What's going on about ISIS in fucking Marina del Rey?
You're like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, about my uncle.
bryan callen
No, I was going to say that what I think the damage done is that you don't get any real information.
I was having a conversation with somebody who really knows the Middle East, and they were like, nobody ever talks about the biggest problem with two things.
First of all, the Middle East is the Sunni-Shia schism, the idea that you start there.
We don't even know where to start with the debate.
We start talking about ISIS. We start talking about the problems that bother us, and we don't actually really know where the source of the problem is.
We don't know how it started, because you don't get it from what you were saying.
brendan schaub
Well, you get it from CNN and Dateline, and you assume this guy's the...
joe rogan
You're not supposed to.
It used to be you had to wait for the news to come out.
You had to get a newspaper, and then you got alerted to the important stories in the radio or on the news on television.
We don't need that anymore.
It's just antiquated.
And it's dangerous because it gives you a version of the world that's not entirely accurate.
It's very slanted because that's what you're scared of, so that's what you'll tune into, so that's what they can sell.
Advertising, hey, we scared the fuck out of 100 people.
Did you see Nightcrawler?
brendan schaub
Yes.
joe rogan
It's fucking excellent.
brendan schaub
No, so dope.
joe rogan
It's excellent.
And it's all about this.
Nightcrawler is all about this.
First of all, Jake Gyllenhaal is a bad motherfucker.
brendan schaub
How did he not win a...
He should have won an award.
He's a beast.
I think awards are stupid.
I agree.
joe rogan
He's just excellent.
It's an excellent move.
It's really, really, really, really well done.
brendan schaub
And a dope-ass Dodge Challenger makes an appearance.
joe rogan
Isn't that sweet?
Yeah, it's not even Hellcats.
brendan schaub
When he starts balling.
joe rogan
It's SRT. Yeah.
bryan callen
What is that?
joe rogan
Once he starts balling, he gets a nice red Challenger with black stripes.
brendan schaub
To get there faster?
Dude.
I love how he talks to his sidekick.
joe rogan
Yeah.
It's amazing.
brendan schaub
He's like, Jeremy, if you want...
joe rogan
Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't spoil it.
He's never gonna see it.
bryan callen
He's never gonna see it.
joe rogan
But folks that are listening, there's people listening.
brendan schaub
Oh, my bad.
joe rogan
Oh, I'm a spoiler alert.
brendan schaub
And I see every movie.
bryan callen
He ruined my...
brendan schaub
I ruin shit for people.
bryan callen
Yeah, you ruined my time when I go, don't tell me about the fights.
Whatever you do, don't tell me about the fights.
brendan schaub
I'm just disappointed.
joe rogan
14 seconds, that's all I'm gonna say.
brendan schaub
It pisses me off when he misses the fight, so I text him all the results.
bryan callen
He's actually an asshole.
joe rogan
You know, that's part of your job, is to pay attention to MMA. I'm aware of that.
brendan schaub
And when he doesn't see it, I'm like, fuck that noise.
bryan callen
I'm aware of that.
unidentified
I tape it.
bryan callen
I tape it.
joe rogan
I'm taping his defensive stance.
bryan callen
I'm aware of it.
brendan schaub
He's a fucking cobra.
unidentified
He's bracing for impact.
bryan callen
Because I get mad.
I'm like, Brennan, don't tell me anything.
We're on our way to play volleyball.
I go, don't tell me anything.
He goes, Cain Velasquez ends up winning.
He punches him in the face.
brendan schaub
I got to discipline you, man.
I got to teach you.
bryan callen
He runs through the whole thing.
joe rogan
How do you not know?
What are you doing?
You're out there in the wild?
bryan callen
Yeah, dude, my workouts are at night a lot of times.
unidentified
Whoa, what do you do?
joe rogan
You run the beach?
Think about death?
bryan callen
No, I do the Alexander Emelyenko workout, not the Fedor one.
joe rogan
What's the difference?
bryan callen
Just a lot of back work and crime.
joe rogan
A lot of back work.
Chin ups and crime.
bryan callen
Just crime.
Just do crime.
joe rogan
Damn you!
That's hilarious.
bryan callen
Yeah.
How about Brendan's part?
joe rogan
It's beautiful.
It's got a goddamn full head of hair.
If I had that much hair, I'd do weird shit with it, too.
brendan schaub
You know what, man?
Because I've been taking a break from training, and I haven't grown my hair out since I was in...
I don't know, man.
So for me to be able to grow it out...
unidentified
It's a cutie pie, huh?
brendan schaub
Because you can't have a really hairstyle and train a ton.
Putting gel in your hair would feel like a...
joe rogan
Dude, I know you had a neck injury for a while.
This dude does rolfing, and he's got this fucking crazy metal piece that's wrapped in a soft plastic, like a thin sheet of plastic around it.
So it's semi-soft on the outside, but underneath it's iron, steel, whatever the fuck it is.
And he breaks up scar tissue.
unidentified
Woo!
brendan schaub
That shit hurts.
joe rogan
Doggy!
bryan callen
Okay, so now here's my question.
brendan schaub
You're a beast if you can sit through that.
I had it done on my hamstring once.
joe rogan
I get it done once a month.
Or once a week, rather.
brendan schaub
Dang, you're a gangster.
joe rogan
Not once a month.
brendan schaub
Once a week.
You know what's weird?
Is people be like, oh, Shab, your neck hurts, and I'll...
This is my fault.
I'll have random people like, let me see it.
And I'll just sit down.
joe rogan
And they start cracking it.
brendan schaub
This random girl was grabbing my neck.
She's like, your ribs out.
Your ribs out.
I'm sitting there.
Her weight's on my shoulder, pushing on my head.
I'm thinking, I don't know this woman.
I let her do it.
joe rogan
You can't do that.
You can't do that.
brendan schaub
I know, man.
bryan callen
But what do we know?
You know a lot about this stuff.
What do we know about, like, so my lower back hurts.
Is that a function of inflammation?
joe rogan
Well, here's the deal.
You don't know until you get an MRI. You need to get an MRI. Okay.
I got an MRI recently because I wanted to get a look at my back, know exactly what's going on, and everything's cool.
Just some disc degeneration, minor disc degeneration, a little bit of soreness and inflammation.
brendan schaub
There's really nothing you can do for that, though.
joe rogan
No, not much you can do.
So it's all fine.
Like, it's fine to push myself.
But you've got to know that you're fine to push yourself.
bryan callen
Yeah.
brendan schaub
But I mean, how bad's your back?
bryan callen
No, I'm fine.
joe rogan
But if you don't, you say that, but if you don't know, it's just guessing.
Like, people that have sciatica, they keep going, oh, my sciatic nerve.
Well, do you know what that is?
That's a...
Bulging disc that's pushing on your nerve.
You're making it look like your nerve is acting weird.
No, your nerve is being squashed by your fucking, the soft shit in between your bones and your spine is pushing against your fucking nerve.
Like, that's serious shit.
And people that ignore that or try to work through it, like, you can fuck yourself up.
I know three dudes that have had significant neck surgery because of impinged nerves where it was causing atrophy to their muscles.
Three dudes very close.
Guys from my gym.
I know one dude that can't do jujitsu anymore.
Can't roll, can't do anything.
brendan schaub
It's a fine line though.
Like a lot of guys, they'll be messed up and like, nah, I'm not going to see a doctor.
And then now, you know, with the UFC insurance policy, I'm like, damn, my wrist hurts.
I get an x-ray.
I'm like, damn, my nose hurts.
I get an x-ray.
joe rogan
You should do that.
You're a fucking professional fighter, man.
brendan schaub
The people at the UFC must be like, fucking shop, man.
What's wrong with me?
He jammed his thumb.
joe rogan
Hey, look, man.
You're not the only one.
A lot of dudes are doing that, and they should.
They should.
That is a giant part of what you do for a living.
brendan schaub
They probably have awards.
joe rogan
You gotta know.
brendan schaub
Behind our backs.
bryan callen
You gotta know whether or not it's serious or not.
brendan schaub
Biggest pussy of the year.
joe rogan
Big Brown.
They're silly.
That's silly.
Look, this is what you do.
That's antagonistic sort of relationship with people when they have injuries.
Yeah.
That's a very fucking tricky thing to be.
brendan schaub
It's weird though, man, because back in the day, it's like, oh, I want to be tough.
And it's my own ego.
When I have to call my manager and be like, dude, I gotta get MRI or I gotta get my neck checked out.
It takes usually three or four weeks for me to talk myself into...
Getting the doctor.
Because it's like this ego thing where you're like, God, I want to be a bitch, man.
Like, like, like, like Mitch Rowe was in town.
He's like, you want to train?
I really can't go real hard wrestling right now.
I want to with him and Barnett.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
I just can't.
And so I was like, I'm busy, man.
joe rogan
Well, that's smart, man.
When dudes try to ignore pain.
unidentified
I know.
joe rogan
There's a lot of dudes that try to ignore pain.
Their bodies wind up falling apart.
unidentified
True.
joe rogan
We had John Wayne Parr on and he was talking about Ramone Deckers.
Ramone Deckers, they got him to a point where they fused his fucking ankle to his shin bone because he had broken it so many times.
Just full power kicks.
He would kick so fucking hard and smash into Elbows and knees and shins.
And he shattered his ankle so many times from his right kick that they had to fuse it.
So he would hobble when he walked and he would tape that fucker up and get in there.
And they told him, they're like, you can't kick with this or we're going to have to fucking amputate your leg if you break it again.
And he would wait a little while fighting in the southpaw and he'd say, you know what?
Fuck it.
Switch stances and ha!
unidentified
Ha!
joe rogan
Just start attacking with it again.
Dude, fused!
bryan callen
That's a bad motherfucker right there.
joe rogan
His fucking ankle didn't bend.
unidentified
He's still ha!
bryan callen
Ha!
unidentified
Just fucking kicking him.
brendan schaub
Yeah, he passed away, right?
bryan callen
At 43. Oh, no.
joe rogan
Died of a heart attack at 43. Oh, boy.
Riding a bike, apparently.
He was one of the all-time great kickboxers.
brendan schaub
Oh, phenomenal.
If you don't know who he is, research.
bryan callen
That's a compromise against your arteries.
joe rogan
Ramon Deckers.
unidentified
Woo!
joe rogan
He was good.
Woo!
bryan callen
Dude, Ramon Dagger.
joe rogan
Just savage.
So aggressive.
And he was a Dutch guy, but the Dutch people were very big.
The average height for a Dutch man is six feet tall.
bryan callen
Tallest people in Europe.
joe rogan
Yeah, the tallest people in Europe.
And a lot of big...
And he was little.
So he had to be tough.
And he was one of the first guys to go over to Thailand and beat the Thais in Thai boxing.
brendan schaub
Think about how tough he is.
Your ankles fuse to your fucking leg, man.
joe rogan
Your ankle.
Yeah, your foot and your knee and your ankle.
All the way down is one piece.
bryan callen
Yeah, that's not good.
brendan schaub
Don't use it.
Don't use it and then gets in a fight and fucking uses it.
bryan callen
It's definitely a guy who doesn't know what to do with his time.
He's just not going to quit.
joe rogan
He might have to amputate your leg because you've shattered your bones so many times.
I've got to be honest, I'm just not that tough.
brendan schaub
I'm like, ah, cool, man.
bryan callen
Ha!
brendan schaub
Ha!
bryan callen
It's kind of how I feel about Madonna at 56 showing her ass off, like an old fighter who won't quit.
Just take a look at this!
joe rogan
I won't give up!
How dare you make that comparison?
brendan schaub
He fucked the whole thing up with the Eddie Murphy Shrek thing.
joe rogan
Yeah, but this might be just as bad.
Madonna's an oddity at this point.
bryan callen
I think so.
joe rogan
When people go to see her, it's an oddity.
She's a 60-year-old woman in her underwear who's dancing around with a bunch of gay guys following her everywhere she goes and hanging on her every word.
brendan schaub
She got yanked off stage the other day.
Why I know that, I don't know.
I think fucking Brian Williams told me.
joe rogan
What happened?
brendan schaub
She was dancing.
The thing was supposed to yank the cape off, but it got her neck.
It yanks this bitch right off the stage.
joe rogan
Is there a video of that?
brendan schaub
Oh, yeah.
joe rogan
Oh, we've got to see that.
Play it for us.
Play it again, Jamie.
brendan schaub
She gets decapitated.
bryan callen
She'll be 80 showing her body off.
brendan schaub
You best believe that dude got fired.
Whoever made that cape, fired.
bryan callen
He's probably dead.
brendan schaub
Yeah, he's probably dead.
joe rogan
He's probably dead.
She probably beat him to death.
Remember when Madonna beat someone to death with a hammer, and you see the body just scooting out the back.
It was like the 1930s.
brendan schaub
Just a little hammer.
joe rogan
It was the 1930s.
unidentified
Oh, no.
joe rogan
She just had a carpenter's hammer.
Just fucking impaled her.
bryan callen
Oh, that's not good.
joe rogan
Oh, shit.
Let me see that again.
One more time, please.
Oh.
brendan schaub
Look at this.
unidentified
Bitch.
Yeah.
Oh.
joe rogan
Oh, my God.
She's old, dude.
When you fall like that and you're old, you could break a hip.
brendan schaub
She got up, though.
joe rogan
She's walking up like a champ.
Oh my god, that's crazy.
bryan callen
Where was that?
joe rogan
She handled that really well.
By the way, she fell really well.
unidentified
She's a professional.
brendan schaub
She really did.
joe rogan
She could have got hurt.
brendan schaub
Fuck that tailbone up because she has zero ass.
joe rogan
She could have got hurt.
bryan callen
She's got some muscle on her ass.
joe rogan
I was filming this movie with Kevin James, Zookeeper, in Boston.
We had a bike chasing scene.
We had a bike chasing scene.
And I kept hitting the front brakes on the bike because the front brakes were my left hand and the back brakes were my right hand.
And I'm riding this bike and I'm hitting him with this thing.
And I hit the front brakes and go flying over the handlebars on the concrete, like tumble into the grass.
I did it like three times.
bryan callen
So you did your own stunt in other words?
joe rogan
Yeah, I did all of it.
Well, there's one where a guy made a bike jump where it was a stuntman.
Where he had to ride down this hill and then hit this ramp and jump over this flight of stairs and land on the ground.
And he did that.
He was like a stunt jumper.
But all the other shit I did.
And they wanted to have a stunt guy Do the fall, because that's what would eventually happen.
He was supposed to jam his flag into my wheel, and then I go flying, and then he takes off.
But I fell so spectacularly that they used my actual fall in the actual movie.
bryan callen
Look at the body!
Let's see this!
Did you do a judo roll, or what happened?
Yeah, I just rolled.
Look at you!
brendan schaub
Sick, man.
joe rogan
I think I rolled in one of them and one of them maybe.
I fell a bunch of times.
One of them was cool because I landed in the grass, like I hit the curb and went flying.
bryan callen
I got to see this movie.
brendan schaub
I can't believe I haven't seen you.
Kevin James is a good dude, huh?
joe rogan
He's a very good dude.
bryan callen
He's a very, very, very good guy.
brendan schaub
Dude, how about stuntmen?
They're fucking crazy, man.
Stuntmen are crazy.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
brendan schaub
I have people tell me all the time.
I'd probably say once a week, dude, you should get into some stunt work.
unidentified
No.
brendan schaub
What are you fucking crazy?
joe rogan
Well, that's how boss hurt his neck.
One of the things I was going to get to is Boss, when he was on, I think, Sons of Anarchy, one of those shows, he did a stunt, and he's doing his own stunt work, and they landed him on his head.
And bang!
And he just fucked his neck up, and then he had to get his discs fused.
brendan schaub
Didn't you have a friend who does stunt work, and he was in a coma for a grip, can't taste food anymore?
bryan callen
Yeah, he hit the back of his head and lost his sense of taste and smell and has never come back.
And his testosterone went vroom, so he had to go on...
But I was doing the Goldbergs, and this girl had to fall down on her, just fall on her back.
And I thought, and I said, she was a girl, and it was on a linoleum floor, like a real cafeteria floor.
And I said, how are you going to do that?
And she goes, just fall.
And I said, I know, but, and she just, boom, just hit.
And she did it five times.
No, she was a stuntwoman.
Five times.
And I said, how are you doing?
She goes, I'll be sore tomorrow.
She was falling.
I remember when I did Death Valley and I had to judo flip this giant guy, Joe Arnaz.
This guy, Joe Arnaz, who is...
Well, this was crazy.
This guy, Joe Arnaz, who's a giant stuntman on Death Valley.
And awesome.
Works all the time.
Just big, big judo guy.
And we had this...
Desk!
Like this thing, and he's a vampire.
He jumps on me, and I had to flip him over.
And I thought it was going to break away furniture.
It really wasn't break away furniture.
It was as hard as it gets.
And I just would throw him, and he would flip over me and throw him something and fall on his back.
He did it over and over.
Do they get paid well?
joe rogan
They get paid well, but not well enough.
brendan schaub
I would never do that.
joe rogan
It depends on what you have to do.
I mean, if you have to do something like that, it's definitely not well enough.
Oftentimes they wear padding, and they do their best, but look, they're taking bumps no matter what, and their head's getting jostled around.
brendan schaub
They're getting concussed.
bryan callen
Being dragged by a horse, they say, is the most dangerous.
joe rogan
Dude, fuck that!
And they have to do that for some fucking movies, man.
There's not much you can do about that.
bryan callen
You get dragged by a horse.
You've got to do it very specifically.
You've got to be really careful because they can't really stop the horse.
How do you control the horse?
You control it with another horse.
But you've got to let that horse go for a while.
And they spook the horse, the horse is trying to run, and you get dragged.
And that is they consider the most dangerous.
joe rogan
How about car shit?
When they're doing car chases and shit?
brendan schaub
Can't be.
bryan callen
Guy in The Hangover 2 was never the same.
joe rogan
Someone was in a movie.
Oh, Jake Lillenhall.
They were saying that that fucking movie that was not CGI, when they did those car accidents in that movie, all the car accidents in Nightcrawler, I'm pretty sure it was him.
See, please Google that.
brendan schaub
He was in too much crazy accidents.
joe rogan
What about the fucking high-speed chase?
I don't want to say anything more.
I'll say that one time, there was some serious shit.
Enough so that you're like, get the fuck out of here.
This is real?
This is not CGI? Apparently, that was one of the things that the director wanted to do.
I'm pretty sure that's the case in that movie.
brendan schaub
I know people clown on Tom Cruise for kind of being a sissy, but he did all his own stunts in Mission Impossible, I heard.
When he hung from that building, that's pretty gangster.
joe rogan
He does his own driving stunts, too.
bryan callen
And running.
He's a powerful kid.
joe rogan
He did whatever the fuck that movie was that he did with Cameron Diaz.
He had some crazy movie with Cameron Diaz.
brendan schaub
Oh, yeah.
bryan callen
I like that movie.
End of Days?
No, no, no.
brendan schaub
That's a great movie.
bryan callen
That's a great movie, too.
joe rogan
No, Edge of Tomorrow.
brendan schaub
Yes.
That's very underrated.
bryan callen
That is a good movie.
joe rogan
That's a movie that almost suffers from him being too wacky.
brendan schaub
I agree, man.
That's a beast of a movie.
joe rogan
Yeah, like if that movie was like someone else, like Will Smith, Will Smith's a little wacky too.
bryan callen
The Cameron Diaz one was Night and Day, right?
brendan schaub
Yeah, Night and Day.
bryan callen
Good movie.
joe rogan
Yeah, if you, if like, who would have been, who would have, like, Tom Cruise killed it in that movie, by the way, Edge of Tomorrow.
He killed it.
brendan schaub
Oh, he's so good.
joe rogan
Killed it.
bryan callen
Oh, yeah.
joe rogan
But if someone else did an equal job of killing it.
brendan schaub
John Travolta.
joe rogan
Daniel Day-Lewis.
If Daniel Day-Lewis was in that movie.
brendan schaub
He's too serious, though.
joe rogan
Too serious?
brendan schaub
Way too serious.
joe rogan
For a fucking sci-fi, crazy movie.
That was a realistic sci-fi movie, though.
brendan schaub
Yeah, it was good.
joe rogan
You know, I mean, it wasn't, like, so stupid.
brendan schaub
You put that heartthrob from Thor in there.
That thing's going to do well.
That boy's a beast.
bryan callen
But I'll tell you what, man.
Tom Cruise, I did a reading with him, and I took his body in.
I spent a good four hours with him.
brendan schaub
Tom Cruise?
joe rogan
Just tiny.
bryan callen
I spent a good four hours with him.
joe rogan
Well, he'll tell you he was there.
bryan callen
We talked wrestling.
joe rogan
How tiny is he?
bryan callen
He's not as tall as I am, but he's very stout.
He's got wide center of gravity, thick hips, thick shoulders.
What's his dick taste like?
I'm glad you asked.
I would make out with him.
joe rogan
Would you make out with him?
If it all went down.
If you were like on a canopy, like under a canopy.
bryan callen
You gotta push me.
You gotta get me in the corner, don't you?
brendan schaub
You drink wine together.
bryan callen
You gotta put me in a corner, don't you?
joe rogan
And you're playing a gay lover in a movie.
But in the movie, you don't ever make out.
But he wants to make out with you just one time, just so you could pretend.
Look, we're together.
We're gay lovers.
This is our movie.
bryan callen
After I did the reading, I see him six months later at this big hoity-toity party.
I talk to him for a Good hour?
Maybe an hour and a half?
joe rogan
Did you wake up when you passed down?
brendan schaub
That means ten minutes.
bryan callen
I remember saying to myself...
An hour and a half?
brendan schaub
That means five minutes?
joe rogan
That means he went...
brendan schaub
Yeah, right?
Tom Cruise is like, get the fuck out of here.
joe rogan
He wants to have an hour and a half by himself.
unidentified
Who's talking to Brian one-on-one for an hour and a half at a party?
brendan schaub
For an hour and a half?
bryan callen
Oh, I kept him there.
unidentified
You know how long that is?
bryan callen
Dude, I kept him there.
brendan schaub
Are you lying a little bit, though?
bryan callen
I got a witness.
joe rogan
An hour and a half?
bryan callen
We'll ask Jeremy Piven, you tell him.
Anyway, he's got a funny story about it.
Doesn't matter.
Okay.
But we're sitting there talking for 15 minutes, and I remember looking at him going, and he was complimenting on my job I did in the reading.
And Jeremy goes, he said, you did a good job 13 times.
I said, 13?
He goes, yes.
I said, good.
So we talked for a long time.
We talked about kids, everything else.
And I remember thinking to myself, this is so lame.
And I was a grown man.
And I remember thinking to myself, I go...
I just really want to be his friend.
I hope he says, let's hang out again.
I remember saying, I would love to just...
I was so starstruck and I really liked him.
He was so nice.
And I figured, you know what?
brendan schaub
We're friends.
bryan callen
We're kind of friends now.
I kind of know him, kind of.
That didn't happen.
And I remember I said to him...
unidentified
So you thought it was going to happen?
bryan callen
I looked at him and I go...
You thought it was going to happen?
This is what I said to him.
I go, so how you been?
What's it like just to be the king?
Is it just generally boring or a lot of fun?
He just looked down and he went, it's, you know, it is what it is.
And...
And we started talking.
I tried to make him laugh, and I did.
brendan schaub
I've seen him in person.
He's the first time I've ever been like...
I was at this party.
Everyone was there.
Athletes.
And I was going to the bathroom.
I wasn't expecting him.
And I saw him.
I just went...
First time.
Everyone went, oh shit, Tom Cruise.
And he was tiny.
Tiny.
Like 5'6"?
Yeah, 5'6".
unidentified
160?
brendan schaub
Yeah, tiny.
bryan callen
I think thicker than 160. I think I give him 5'8".
unidentified
Not a chance.
bryan callen
But then again, he's in shoes.
joe rogan
Probably might have some weird shoes.
bryan callen
Probably.
brendan schaub
100%.
bryan callen
But he's thick.
He's thick.
brendan schaub
Hey, I'm a fan, man.
I'm a fan.
bryan callen
He's got a dick on him.
We did take a piss together.
joe rogan
What about his obliques?
bryan callen
We took a long piss together.
joe rogan
Sculpted obliques?
brendan schaub
You didn't look at his dick.
I'm disappointed if you didn't.
bryan callen
I was at the urinal right next to him.
joe rogan
He took a long piss together?
What the fuck does that even mean?
bryan callen
We talked about Dan Gable's wrestling camp.
joe rogan
How long your piss is?
bryan callen
We talked about Dan Gable's wrestling camp, because I went to Dan Gable's intensive wrestling camp in Iowa, between my junior and senior year of high school, and he said he would have loved to have, but he couldn't afford it.
We were holding our dicks, and I remember thinking, I'm pissing with Tom Cruise.
joe rogan
I pissed with Dennis Miller once.
bryan callen
That's not bad.
joe rogan
That's my story.
He's right next to me.
Somewhere like NBC or something like that.
Hey, Joe, you got a hip on your hands there.
It was like Fear Factor first got on the air.
I'm like, oh shit, I'm pissing right next to Dennis Miller.
I wanted to ask him, man, what's all this fucking George Bush shit?
Your buddies with George Bush?
I didn't have the balls.
bryan callen
No?
joe rogan
I wanted to ask him.
That's when he became George Bush's buddy.
brendan schaub
Is there anyone now that would startle you or make you starstruck?
joe rogan
Yeah, a lot of people, man.
unidentified
Really?
joe rogan
For sure, yeah.
bryan callen
Anthony Bourdain.
brendan schaub
Because you meet everyone, right?
joe rogan
Yeah, I got weirded out when I met Anthony Bourdain.
That was a few years back, but I got weirded out.
brendan schaub
He's at all the UFCs now.
A lot of them.
joe rogan
That guy trains jujitsu every day.
bryan callen
Wow.
joe rogan
He trains jiu-jitsu every day.
He does two-hour classes every day.
He does an hour of classes all over the place, even when he's on the road.
unidentified
Really?
joe rogan
He was rolling in Budapest, Hungary.
brendan schaub
I'm a bigger fan of him, though.
joe rogan
He put a picture of him on Twitter with his fucking white belt and a gi showing up at this fucking jiu-jitsu place, at Carlson Gracie's place.
unidentified
Wow.
joe rogan
He told me they were doing all top game.
He said he was shitting out bone fragments.
brendan schaub
Goddamn.
joe rogan
He said they all have old-school Carlson Gracie top game.
unidentified
Oh, my God.
joe rogan
He said I'm shitting out bone fragments.
brendan schaub
That's the message he gave me.
So, you were a little starstruck with them.
Who would you be starstruck with, though?
Because you see everybody.
joe rogan
I got starstruck when I met Arnold Schwarzenegger and he knew who I was.
bryan callen
Oh, he did?
joe rogan
Nice to meet you, sir.
unidentified
Oh, my God.
joe rogan
I was like, what's up, dude?
bryan callen
I got that dinner when I was so starstruck.
unidentified
Fuck, really?
You're doing a very good job.
joe rogan
I was like...
He's a UFC fan.
He's a UFC fan.
unidentified
Wow.
brendan schaub
Arnold's one of the...
I mean, yeah.
joe rogan
That was a big one.
That was a big one.
If I met Clint Eastwood, even though I think he's a silly bitch, you know, that thing he did with Obama when he was talking down to him in a chair, it's still Clint Eastwood.
I mean, he's a crazy old man now, kind of.
bryan callen
It's Clint Eastwood, dude.
joe rogan
It's still Clint Eastwood.
bryan callen
You gave him his props right now.
joe rogan
Outlaw Josie Wales.
bryan callen
One of the great movies, period.
Dying a much of a living boy.
Oh, High Plains Drifter?
joe rogan
Come on.
brendan schaub
I gotta be honest with you guys.
I'm a lot younger than you.
Clint Eastwood's not that big of a deal for me.
joe rogan
Oh, dude.
unidentified
I know.
brendan schaub
It's a shame.
joe rogan
If you're a fan of films, though.
brendan schaub
Million Dollar Baby.
joe rogan
Unforgiven?
Did you ever see Unforgiven?
brendan schaub
No, I didn't.
bryan callen
The good, the bad, the ugly.
It just goes on and on.
brendan schaub
Yeah, no.
joe rogan
It's a different time.
brendan schaub
I'm way younger than you guys.
joe rogan
No, it was before our time, man.
Clint Eastwood's old as fuck, dude.
Don't try to put it in Clint Eastwood's character.
unidentified
He's old as fuck.
brendan schaub
But in his heyday, you guys.
bryan callen
Dirty Harry.
joe rogan
When we were kids, when we were like little kids, every which way was loose.
unidentified
Ugh.
joe rogan
Every Which Way But Loose was the big movie, which meant that he was already so old he wasn't doing the cowboy movies anymore.
He was like this old-school bare-knuckle boxer.
bryan callen
Killer.
joe rogan
Dude, back in those days, oh my god, his girlfriend was in every movie.
He had this chick, Sandra Lockhart, was that who she was?
unidentified
She was in every fucking movie he did.
joe rogan
Every movie he did, that was his girlfriend.
The motherfucker had this one girlfriend who was an actress and he put her in every movie.
Every movie was him and his girlfriend until they broke up.
And when they broke up, like, part of their breakup was that he had to get her some sort of a development deal and then she sued him.
brendan schaub
Hell of a deal for her.
joe rogan
She sued him because she said that, like, Allegedly.
I should say this is all allegedly.
I'm reading this online.
It could all be bullshit.
But she thought that he was blocking her movies from being made.
brendan schaub
Damn.
joe rogan
Yeah, it was an ugly breakup, man.
bryan callen
He composes his own music.
All the jazz and all the music.
joe rogan
Yeah, probably not anymore.
bryan callen
Sure.
Sure he does.
He composes in, what's the movie?
High Plains Drifter.
That's his score.
brendan schaub
Have you seen interviews with him lately?
Have you seen interviews with him lately?
bryan callen
Well, he's very old now.
I don't know.
brendan schaub
That's what I'm saying.
He did American Sniper.
That's what they say.
Or was he on set and they just gave him credit?
bryan callen
No, he directed it.
joe rogan
He directed it.
You know, he's not so old that he can't do that.
I mean, that's what makes movies.
He's amazing.
brendan schaub
He's not all up in there like frickin'.
You think he's all up in there?
bryan callen
Sir, are you American, right?
Mind your peers and kids about Clint Eastwood.
Do me a favor.
brendan schaub
You hated on Chris Kyle, motherfucker.
bryan callen
Well, I think he lied.
joe rogan
Hold on, hold on a second.
It's not hating on someone to tell the truth.
It's hating on the rest of the population to pretend that truth doesn't exist and to not take those facts into consideration when you're discussing a story.
brendan schaub
I hate that, but he's the greatest American sniper ever, ever.
Whether he's lying or not, that's true.
Those are facts.
joe rogan
What do you know about that?
brendan schaub
I know what America tells me.
What do you know about Clint Eastwood directing American Sniper?
What do you know about it for sure?
joe rogan
It's a movie, first of all.
brendan schaub
That's what they tell us.
joe rogan
And it's a good movie, according to some people.
It's a great movie.
I haven't seen it.
I haven't seen it.
brendan schaub
You want me to tell you what happens?
joe rogan
Ari Shafir fucking hated it.
I have a video of Ari Shafir and Tom Segura arguing.
Tom Segura says it's amazing, and Ari Shafir says it's retarded.
brendan schaub
I listen to Ari on your show Hate On It.
He's fucking crazy.
joe rogan
He should join ISIS. If what he said was true, does he not have a point?
Was there a rubber baby that was obviously a rubber baby?
brendan schaub
Not really!
Not really!
I thought it was a real baby!
unidentified
Not really.
brendan schaub
I believe he was a real baby.
joe rogan
Jamie, you have something to say to him?
unidentified
I don't go to the movies and be like, God damn, that baby looks fake.
brendan schaub
This is ridiculous.
Clint Eastwood, come on.
bryan callen
That is splitting hairs.
joe rogan
Well, that's just one thing.
I mean, Ari had a bunch of points.
brendan schaub
That's the least of my worries when I go to the movies.
joe rogan
The fakest baby.
The fake baby?
Okay, let's see the fake baby.
bryan callen
That looks real to me.
joe rogan
Hold on, we'll see.
You just saw it for a brief second.
brendan schaub
If you're staring at the baby, you're fucking crazy.
joe rogan
Okay, here's the fake baby.
Right now, that looks like a baby.
brendan schaub
I'm cool with this.
joe rogan
This seems fine.
I'm not really paying attention to it.
Okay, that was it?
brendan schaub
And your boy Ari's hating on it.
joe rogan
No, there's more, apparently.
There's some real fake baby shit going on later.
Oh, here it goes.
Okay, that's fake as fuck.
Look at his thumb.
brendan schaub
Oh, come on!
joe rogan
That's fake as fuck.
It doesn't look.
brendan schaub
That's like going to Jurassic Park and being like, that T-Rex, man, I'll tell you what.
That thing's just not real enough.
joe rogan
You're being dishonest.
You don't think it's ridiculous looking at his thumb moving that rubber baby?
brendan schaub
They didn't show that.
Yeah, that's from the set.
joe rogan
No, it's not even.
That's a joke.
That's someone being silly.
They're joking around because it's a fucking rubber baby.
brendan schaub
Oh, come on.
joe rogan
Look, the baby can only work a certain amount of hours, and they got union rules for babies.
brendan schaub
So it's a bad movie because that baby looks fake?
bryan callen
I had to work with babies.
It's a pain in the ass.
joe rogan
Listen, I don't think it's a bad movie because I didn't see it.
But I definitely don't think that just...
Look, I don't want to pay attention to the baby, but apparently the baby was only one issue.
Ari thought the acting was terrible.
bryan callen
I didn't see the movie.
joe rogan
The movie was implausible, was ridiculous.
bryan callen
I was just disappointed that I found that he lied a lot about certain things.
I don't give a fuck.
brendan schaub
He still is the greatest American sniper ever.
bryan callen
Okay.
joe rogan
That's a weird thing to say, though.
Like, you don't give a fuck.
So you were not willing to give Anderson Silva a pass on doing steroids for the broken leg.
bryan callen
That's interesting.
brendan schaub
I'm giving Brian Williams a pass, though.
joe rogan
Yeah, that's true.
bryan callen
You're very inconsistent.
joe rogan
That's me!
That's so weird.
bryan callen
We go with the wind.
joe rogan
That's my entire career.
There's kind of like a blind patriotism to that, right?
Like, you recognize that he's the greatest American sniper, so all the other stuff you just don't want to talk about.
brendan schaub
No, I'll talk about it, but him being a great American sniper is the biggest thing.
That should trump all of it.
Yeah, he lied.
He didn't take out people during that...
Katrina.
Katrina, yeah.
Yeah, he didn't do that.
joe rogan
He also didn't beat up Jesse Ventura.
brendan schaub
Yeah, I know.
Cool, man.
But you killed 160 terrorists?
Yeah, I'm cool, man.
I'm going to overlook some of that shit.
You're still a great American.
joe rogan
They're both true.
I mean, if it is true, I don't know what's true, obviously.
I'm talking about interviews and people's books and all this different shit.
Unless we were there, we really don't know what the fuck actually happened.
But they can both be true.
I've met people that were movie stars that were also tremendous liars.
I mean, I don't want to name names, but the dude was a movie star, and he's a tremendous liar.
Just makes up stories about all kinds of things.
And you would never believe.
The stuff you know is just a complete fabrication, things that never happened to him.
And the guy's worth millions and millions of dollars.
brendan schaub
But one thing we do know is he was a Navy SEAL, and he was a sniper who killed a lot of people.
For America.
He risked his life for America.
So he's okay with me.
bryan callen
Hold on, hold on.
Yes, he went through BUDS training.
Yes, he became a Navy SEAL. Very difficult to do.
And he's really good at killing people.
That's a skill set as a sniper that I'm sure takes a lot of things I don't know about.
I don't think that that necessarily means, and I'm sorry to say this, that means he's a good guy.
I don't think that necessarily means that he's a good guy.
brendan schaub
Heroes aren't good guys.
bryan callen
It doesn't mean he gets a pass for lying and making up stories about not only killing looters in New Orleans who are stealing stuff, which is already illegal and considered murder under the laws of this land.
brendan schaub
But he didn't do it, so.
bryan callen
Well, but that's what he was saying he was doing, which is very strange.
I haven't read the book, so I don't want to talk too much.
brendan schaub
You haven't read the book or the movie.
All you do is know his name.
joe rogan
So you're out of the game.
Let me play devil's advocate here just as a person who, like, let me just be completely objective, take a wild shot at this.
This might not be the case.
So I'm just put that out there in advance.
What if he decided to tell all these tall tales because the book would be better?
And he wanted to sell a book and make a lot of money selling a book.
And he didn't understand the kind of media storm and that these checks, these stories are going to be checked and double checked.
And what he decided to do was add a bunch of fabricated shit to a real story.
Because, you know, first of all, he's probably psychologically damaged from shooting 160 people.
Like, I don't think you get away from that for free.
unidentified
No.
joe rogan
I don't think you go to war, and I don't think anybody rides for free in war.
I think you take in a lot of psychological damage.
Everybody says that.
So it could possibly be that the guy just said all that shit because he wanted to sell books.
It's possible.
brendan schaub
And is that crazy?
Does that make him a bad guy?
Because the US government's not paying him very well, right?
He's not making much money.
So he fabricates these stories.
His book is a New York Times bestseller.
He gets all this money.
Is that It's all possible.
bryan callen
It's all possible.
All I'm trying to say is this.
I don't know Chris Kyle.
I don't know anything about the guy.
I don't know if he's a bad guy, a good guy.
I tend to be pretty patriotic.
brendan schaub
Well, you know what he did for America, though.
bryan callen
Yeah.
So usually he gets a lot of leeway with me when you're a soldier and you went to Iraq and you did all that stuff.
Yes.
For me, that's how I am.
But I do think that I still have to at least, like what Joe was saying, when you It's found out that you made up these stories.
That's kind of a bummer for me.
It's just disappointing that he did lie about something like that.
brendan schaub
I don't give a shit.
Trying to sell books.
joe rogan
It could very well have been that he was trying to sell books, and it could also very well be that we were talking before.
Maybe we need to understand a little bit better, since none of us went to war, What kind of mental toll that takes on a person and that you kind of shouldn't expect them to be completely fine with everything when they come back.
And some of them are gonna make shit up and maybe they're making shit up because reality is so fucking crazy that they don't want to deal with it anymore.
brendan schaub
Or maybe he's so fucked up he thinks it's real.
joe rogan
It could be.
brendan schaub
Maybe he had a situation where he was in New Orleans and he thought about shooting, didn't happen, but he goes to war, something happens, like, did that happen?
joe rogan
Yeah.
Well, it's good for the book.
Right.
And by, you know, no one could understand what the fuck that guy's life was like except for him.
I agree.
And it's not even giving him an excuse.
What we're saying is we're just looking at the possibilities.
Instead of saying, hey, this is a guy that was full of shit and he lied about that and he's a bad person, this is a guy that was forced to do some anti-human shit for the government.
bryan callen
People are complicated.
You and I have talked about this.
People are complicated.
We know certain people that are high-profile people that get criticized a lot and they're hated on, and you know them pretty intimately, and it's like...
Yes, they've done some things.
They're also complicated people.
They also do incredibly good things for people that nobody knows about.
So there's no question that people generally are not black and white.
They have a bad side.
They have a good side.
I know I do.
I know I do.
I know a lot of things about myself I'm not that proud of.
This is black and white.
brendan schaub
This is very black and white.
If you didn't like the film American Sniper, you're a fucking terrorist.
This is easy.
bryan callen
Brendan!
joe rogan
Ari Shafir is a Jew.
brendan schaub
That's what they should do.
At airports, this is how they should check if you're a terrorist or you have a bomb.
Did you like American Sniper?
No.
Go to the right.
Did you like American Sniper?
Yes.
Go to the left.
bryan callen
What happens when you go to the right, though?
brendan schaub
You don't get on the plane.
bryan callen
Damn it, Brendan.
joe rogan
Ari Shafir would chew you up if you guys had this conversation.
brendan schaub
Bring it, son.
joe rogan
He gets so angry.
brendan schaub
Bring it, son.
I get angry, too.
joe rogan
You want to hear him ranting with Tom Segura?
It's hilarious.
The two of them together.
I've got to eventually put this online, but they get so fucking in each other's face about it.
They're like yelling.
It's something really important to talk about.
bryan callen
I do think it's important to be charitable about just how complicated human beings are.
Yes.
It doesn't mean you don't call somebody out online.
unidentified
The bar, just so contrived and awful.
The fact that they didn't show him getting shot was actually a good choice.
ari shaffir
Two hour and 17 minute movie, and then at the end they're like, he was killed that day in writing?
brendan schaub
Listen, you communist fuck.
joe rogan
I'll play the whole thing.
I'll put the whole thing up on Twitter.
bryan callen
Listen, you communist fucker.
unidentified
That's Tom Segura?
joe rogan
That's Tom Segura.
They go at it for like 10 minutes in front of the ice house.
brendan schaub
So he was mad that at the end they don't show him getting killed.
bryan callen
He was mad about everything.
joe rogan
He thought it sucked.
He brought a bunch of people from his Twitter feed to go to the movie and heckle.
What's his deal?
They filled the audience.
The entire audience was Ari Shaffir's friends.
brendan schaub
I would have got arrested.
UFC fighter beats the shit out of Ari and his friends during American Sniper.
joe rogan
This is not the time to get arrested.
This is not for you.
Don't do that.
unidentified
Nah.
joe rogan
Beat up a bunch of chubby comedians.
brendan schaub
Chris Kyle forever, son!
bryan callen
Chris Kyle forever!
Hey man, I can be swayed.
joe rogan
Did you see the movie?
bryan callen
I didn't.
I haven't read the book or anything.
brendan schaub
He knows nothing about it.
bryan callen
I know nothing.
All I've read is that I looked at all the stuff online and I was like, well, it's interesting.
I haven't read it.
I don't know.
brendan schaub
That's a credible source.
bryan callen
I haven't formulated an opinion on anything.
joe rogan
You've got to think that when someone has killed that many people for the government, they give them a green light to kill that many people and to kill 160 people.
The idea of telling a lie about something, it's really no big deal.
brendan schaub
That guy killing 160 people doing all these tours...
You know, in war, should get a million dollars from the U.S. government for the rest of his life.
He should be financially set for the rest of his life.
joe rogan
Yeah, no kidding, right?
How much do they actually get when they retire?
bryan callen
Not much.
My buddy's Delta Force was Delta Force, and he said that I heard, and I don't want to say online, but it's so pitiful.
It's called hazardous duty pay.
You don't make any money.
You don't have enough to live.
And if you go through a divorce, half of that money goes to your wife.
brendan schaub
Oh, in your personal life, you're fucked because their divorce rate's like 96%.
bryan callen
It's not cool, man.
They should definitely get more money in my opinion.
joe rogan
It's the stress.
The same with cops.
Stress.
That stress is insane.
It's an unprecedented level of stress.
It's so hard to deal with.
bryan callen
It's also really hard when you're a sniper, you're, I don't know this, but I do know that a combatant can be even a child running munitions to a mortar.
And if that child's doing that or a guy's looking at you with binoculars and trying to get a beat on your position, you take them out.
brendan schaub
Yeah, son.
bryan callen
That's hard.
unidentified
It's war.
bryan callen
That's hard for a soldier who gets in command, take that guy out, shoot that kid, shoot that woman because she happens to be somebody who's aiming the enemy.
brendan schaub
Chris Cowell had to do that if you watched the movie.
bryan callen
It sucks.
joe rogan
The word hard is not even, it's not a good enough word.
unidentified
No.
joe rogan
It's not that it's hard.
It's almost impossible.
It's almost impossible to reset from that and be a normal person without some help.
bryan callen
I'm sure.
brendan schaub
You go from doing that to fucking walking through Radio Shack with your wife?
unidentified
What?
joe rogan
What the hell?
That's why all these guys coming back from war, that's one way to make America a little bit more polite, running into a bunch of people that just got back from killing a bunch of other people.
People have a different attitude when you've been to a war.
There's a different mentality.
And we have to respect that.
And I think we have to consider that.
That's important as a culture, as a society that sort of wants to gloss over war and wants to glorify it and make it out to be all this John Wayne shit.
We have to look at what the fuck has really happened to these people psychologically.
bryan callen
Absolutely.
joe rogan
And the same thing with cops.
Everybody wants to shit on cops because cops do, occasionally they do bad things.
And for you that have been done wrong by these cops that couldn't handle that job, I 100% feel for you.
I 100% feel for you.
I feel bad for the cops.
We also have to consider the fact that being a cop is this insane job.
Some people become fucking insurance salesmen.
Some people sell cars.
Some people become artists.
Some people become cops!
And you're out there, and you're fucking pulling sideways.
A guy's shooting a rifle out of a fucking window and taking people out.
You gotta figure out how to sneak into the building.
You're calling a SWAT team.
You're hiding behind your car.
You're hearing fucking bullets bouncing off the street.
Cops have to deal with some insane shit.
bryan callen
You're getting shot at.
brendan schaub
And they don't have much experience.
A lot of them don't have much experience.
joe rogan
And you know how few of them know how to fight?
brendan schaub
Yeah, not many.
joe rogan
That was the thing that always shocked me when I would train with guys who had been police officers, and they didn't know how to fight.
I'm like, this is insane.
Like, you don't know any jujitsu?
You don't know nothing?
unidentified
Horrible.
joe rogan
Like, if you get in a scramble with somebody, what do you do?
Do you know how to get out?
Like, they don't know anything.
brendan schaub
Yeah, they freak out.
joe rogan
You could sign up for being a cop.
You could be a cop, and you have to just be in reasonable shape and not completely insane.
That's it.
brendan schaub
And then they get in trouble because they get put in these...
Listen, I'm not defending all cops.
Some cops are scumbags.
I get that.
unidentified
No doubt.
brendan schaub
But in general, they're good people.
And they get put in these situations where...
joe rogan
Well, I think in general, all people are good people.
brendan schaub
I agree.
joe rogan
Most people are good.
brendan schaub
But then you get put in these situations where they have no experience.
They don't know if this kid's going to shoot or not.
So like, dang, my life, his, they shoot, and then there's this big uproar.
joe rogan
It's similar to what we were talking about earlier with referees.
If referees make a mistake, you're making a mistake, and a guy is going to take some fucking punishment because of that mistake, you're not designed to handle those high-pressure situations, or you're not qualified because you don't understand martial arts, or you're just not good at your job.
Like, for whatever reason, not focused, whatever the fuck it is that makes you fuck up.
But if you fuck up as a referee, it's way worse than if Bruce Buffer fucks up as an announcer.
brendan schaub
Yeah.
joe rogan
If Bruce Buffer mispronounces, Brian Casey!
You know, you're like, oh god damn my name.
It's not that bad, you know what I'm saying?
If a cop fucks up, someone gets shot and dies, or he gets shot and dies, or he sees someone get shot and die that he could have prevented, all that stuff is too much for people.
brendan schaub
It's a tough job, man.
joe rogan
It's too much!
And to have that go on day after day, what do you have to look forward to?
When you're 25, they give you a watch?
You look at all the friends that you've had along the way that have blown their brains out or drank themselves to death or fill in the blank, done all kinds of crazy shit.
bryan callen
My buddy was a SWAT team sergeant and he said he knew he had to get out when he was sitting down next to a body that they had shot and the coroners were doing all their vesting and he started eating a sandwich and it didn't occur to him.
He was like, I'm sitting right next to a body and I'm this not phased.
I've become so numb to my job.
brendan schaub
The view of cops, too, it's not like most Americans are not like, oh hell yeah, cops, man, sweet.
Most of them when they drive by, most people, especially the ones I hang out with, they're like, fuck cops.
bryan callen
Americans don't like authority.
Americans always have a problem.
joe rogan
There was an interesting article that I put up the other day that, again, I don't know if it's true, but it was that this town in Texas hired a private security firm and crime dropped by 61%.
And that with no financial incentive for there to be crime, because they were just compensated for their job, for what they do, for the hours on the job, they found less crime.
They also patrolled areas that had the most crime instead of just arbitrarily deciding where people went based on whatever the fuck it was that they had decided on before.
They targeted it, like, very tactically.
And they cut back on crime by 61%, and it cost less money.
bryan callen
I'm confused.
So they hired a private security agency?
joe rogan
They fired the cops in 2012. They fired the cops.
They said, this police force is retarded.
This government police force sucks.
We're going to hire our own security force.
We're going to vote to do this.
So they decided to do this.
They hired a security firm to become cops.
And because these guys don't have the incentive to write tickets, because they're not getting...
It actually costs less.
It costs them less.
It costs them less and there's less crime.
They're not getting as much revenue from it, but they're also not arresting people for fucking nothing.
So it's going to adjust the attitude of the people that live in the city.
They're not going to be upset at cops all the time because they're not going to think that cops are just trying to pull people aside because they have criteria they have to meet.
They have quotas they have to make.
bryan callen
Which is insane.
They did the same thing with road signs.
joe rogan
Jamie, see if you can pull that article up, because it's on my Twitter feed.
It's pretty fucking interesting.
bryan callen
There's an intersection in Holland that's really, really busy, and the guy took all the road signs out, because there were a lot of accidents, and said, watch this, I'm going to take all road signs out, and people figured it out on their own, and he does this experiment where he walks, he puts his hands behind his back, and walks backward into the busiest intersection, and of course never gets hit, because people figure out how to navigate that crazy space on their own.
unidentified
For sure.
joe rogan
For sure that guy's gonna get hit.
For sure that guy's retarded.
unidentified
Well, we'll see.
bryan callen
He hasn't.
unidentified
Terrible story.
bryan callen
And I was there.
joe rogan
It's not the best story.
brendan schaub
That's terrible story.
bryan callen
I was piggybacking.
joe rogan
61% SEAL security solutions.
They hired a bunch of fucking people that were former SEALs and shit.
unidentified
Oh, wow.
joe rogan
Shit, that makes sense.
Of course it makes sense.
It's fucking smart, man.
brendan schaub
Those guys have experience in high-stress situations.
unidentified
Look at that.
joe rogan
Reduce crime by 61% in just 20 months.
You know, and also then you're not going to deal with the militarization of the fucking police department.
brendan schaub
And this is legit shit?
joe rogan
Yes, it's legit shit.
brendan schaub
Or is this written up by the Operation The Seals?
unidentified
I don't know.
joe rogan
I'm just reading what I'm reading online.
I've done very little actual research out in the field.
I didn't take any plane trips down there.
I'm not on the ground.
bryan callen
When you privatize an area, the solution goes, when you privatize an area that tends to be policed better a lot of times than if the government has to do it.
joe rogan
Right, but now this is where fucking some Alex Jones shit comes up.
This is what you want, America.
unidentified
You want former military guarding your streets, holding a gun to your children's head.
And who do you think they...
Who do they listen to when the shit hits the fan?
joe rogan
FEMA! FEMA, goddammit!
You got plastic coffins out there in the field.
I've seen them with my own eyes.
Look at the guy who is babies.
We support our troops by hiring many employees who have served our country.
brendan schaub
Dude, I'm not mad at this at all.
joe rogan
It's not bad.
Look, if it works, I think that there's a lot of things that they do better when you take out bureaucracy, when you privatize them, when you offer them an incentive to be successful, and when they have some support of the community because the community actually likes them.
bryan callen
For sure.
A lot of times they live in the community, too.
joe rogan
Those are fucking sloppy, out of shape cubs.
unidentified
Yeah, for sure.
brendan schaub
You need some three out of shape...
joe rogan
Yoked up, roided up dudes where you take care of business.
brendan schaub
I want three Ronnie Coleman's just jacked.
Ain't no one doing shit.
joe rogan
Yeah.
I would go more of a thinner, like Ian Freeman.
brendan schaub
Yeah, I'm with you, man.
bryan callen
I like that they have dogs.
I like those big canines.
They can smell out anything.
joe rogan
Yeah, it's a good idea.
Use canine.
They have bomb detection, drug detection.
Look, boys, drop the drug detection.
Let that slide.
bryan callen
Let it slide.
joe rogan
But I think that, look...
I think there's a lot of things that could be taken care of better by the private sector.
That's what you see with education.
I mean, you get a way better private education in most schools where you deal with really high-level private schools.
They're going to have a better education than the best public schools.
bryan callen
It's about incentives, man.
It's about incentives.
brendan schaub
And the teachers are more qualified at the private schools, right?
joe rogan
A lot of times.
brendan schaub
They get paid more as well, right?
joe rogan
A lot of times.
There's some really good public schools out there, don't get me wrong.
But if you had to look at them all per capita, like what's going to be the most formal education?
What's going to be like the most comprehensive education?
There's a lot of people that have a lot of money to take their kids to private schools because they think that their kids are going to get a better education.
brendan schaub
That's college too.
You look at the private universities, man.
joe rogan
I mean, the good thing about universities is that people can get scholarships if they prove, you know, academically that they're superior, that they're excellent.
brendan schaub
Or athletically.
joe rogan
Yeah, or athletically.
Those are good things, too.
They get an opportunity.
But, you know, privatizing shit, that's the thing that I had that guy on the podcast.
The fuck is his name?
Peter, the fucking Peter Schiff.
Very, you know, financial genius.
And he was saying, one of the big problems with college is the reason why it costs so much is because it's all subsidized by the government.
And because it's subsidized, these fucking loans have these ridiculous interest rates, and everybody gets roped in this incredible payment that they get stuck with.
You get saddled up in debt before you even get out of school.
You get out of school, you already owe fuck tons of money.
bryan callen
The good thing about privatization is you can innovate according to your circumstances.
A lot of times when you have top-down bureaucracy telling you what to do, regardless, it's hard to innovate.
It's hard to move.
If you see it with huge corporations versus smaller companies, you've got to be able to change with the times.
joe rogan
You know where I'm torn, though, man?
I think every kid deserves a private-style education.
It doesn't work like that, though.
I know it doesn't.
It sucks.
But I think that's where the problem is.
I think every kid deserves the best possible education.
But we said, like, the best way to make America great.
Everyone's like, let's make America great.
Let's guard our borders and keep our criminals out.
This is the best way.
Make less losers.
Less losers.
I agree.
Put shit tons of money into community programs and education and counseling and try to help people that are in bad situations.
People that got a shitty deck of cards.
bryan callen
You know that's been society's problem from day one.
unidentified
Always.
joe rogan
It always will be.
bryan callen
What do you do with the people that, not losers as is you're a loser, but the losers in society, the people who don't get a piece of the pie?
It's hard.
That's always been the issue.
It's the issue with the Middle East.
brendan schaub
We're never going to solve that.
bryan callen
It's the biggest issue with the Middle East.
You've got a group of people who have young men, angry young men, nowhere to place their energy.
And you want to go through the list of why?
Fine.
It's essentially governments that are not representative, etc., etc., etc.
It's a major problem.
What do you do about it?
What do you do about it?
joe rogan
I think what you do about it.
I'm obviously not a fucking financial planner, but if I was, if I had to look at the country as far as allocation of resources, tax dollars, and how much money do we have, what do we spend it on, I would say let's triple, quadruple, even more the amount of money that goes into education.
And anybody who wants to go to college should be able to go to college.
The idea that you go to college and get saddled, and it sounds contradictory from what I said earlier because the best schools, a lot of them, are private today.
But still, I still think that the public education should be so much better than it is now, and being a teacher should be worth so much more.
It should be like a very prestigious position that's difficult to get and should be worth a lot of money.
bryan callen
And you may not need more money.
joe rogan
Even a PE teacher, what about a really good one?
What about a really good PE teacher that teaches you about physiology, about explosive fast twitch muscle fibers that shows you how to get better in sports?
brendan schaub
Nah, what about the one that teaches you like kickball and fucking something?
joe rogan
Why do we have to have that though?
brendan schaub
Because it's awesome.
joe rogan
But why can't you have that kind of shit where you have a little kickball game with kids, but you also explain to them, this is what's going on when you're getting tired.
This is what's going on.
unidentified
That'd be dope.
joe rogan
The food you eat has a different effect on the way your body performs.
bryan callen
Right, and a lot of it doesn't take money.
brendan schaub
That'd be dope.
bryan callen
A lot of it sometimes just takes a change in approach.
unidentified
Absolutely.
joe rogan
Give them some fucking money.
There's teachers out there that get paid 50 cents an hour.
brendan schaub
There has to be a standard though.
bryan callen
There has to be a standard, right?
brendan schaub
There has to be a standard.
You can't have every dumbass in school or private school.
joe rogan
It's not easy to be a doctor, right?
It's fucking really hard.
It's really hard.
You've got to go to school.
brendan schaub
A lot of schooling, yes.
joe rogan
A lot of fucking education.
A lot of education.
It's difficult.
Most people fall out.
They don't heck through it.
It should be like that to be a teacher.
bryan callen
It really should.
It should be hard.
Finland has probably the most, like according to a lot of ratings, the best school system.
They don't test.
I think they have one test a year.
The teachers are responsible to a large degree in making their own curriculum.
They don't have this core curriculum.
Everybody has to learn the same thing.
brendan schaub
You better have some good teachers, man.
bryan callen
And more importantly, they pay their teachers and their teachers have a great deal of esteem in the society.
And Finland's school system is always outperforming almost every other country.
And when I had the guy on who wrote this thing called Finnish Lessons, a book, he said, I don't even like talking about rankings because that's already the wrong way to look at it.
And the problem with testing is that that's what happens is you, instead of focusing on understanding, and the other really interesting thing is he said, we focus on teaching people how to solve problems as a group.
Because if you think about it, you do a lot of that when you work in a corporation or whatever.
brendan schaub
You have to test at some point.
Because if the teachers always – let's say they're teaching for a year, and it's like, well, let's see if these kids learn anything.
No one's learning anything.
You have to test at some point.
bryan callen
Well, actually, they do because they have to rely on each other to solve problems.
So they'll give them a problem, and then they'll kind of let them solve that problem.
And they try to mimic – As closely as they can, the real life situations and problems that they're going to come across when they are, for example, working for a company like Toyota or Nokia.
brendan schaub
I don't like just that.
I don't like that new age teaching, man.
joe rogan
Why?
bryan callen
It's not new age.
It's more practical.
brendan schaub
I think it's more practical.
I think you still have to have history.
They still have to learn all that stuff.
unidentified
They do.
bryan callen
And they do have testing, but not nearly as much.
joe rogan
Oh, so they do have some testing.
bryan callen
I think they have two tests a year.
brendan schaub
Well, you said no testing.
bryan callen
Yeah, for the most part they don't.
joe rogan
But that's just Brian Callen, the way he talks.
brendan schaub
Yeah.
Well, I took it literally.
No testing.
Then you have kids just afraid of shit.
bryan callen
No, I said they have one test a year, maybe two tests a year.
joe rogan
Well, there's a lot of people that do think that you shouldn't have that.
That shouldn't be your incentive to get a high score.
Your incentive should be to absorb knowledge.
That's what stupid people say.
Well, it becomes a competitive thing.
Like, my daughter got a 98. My daughter got a 100. Sorry.
brendan schaub
I bet you thought your daughter was smart.
unidentified
Competition, man.
brendan schaub
You need competition.
unidentified
Sometimes we do.
brendan schaub
It's like sports, too.
It's like, you know you can't play tag anymore.
You can't play dodgeball anymore.
joe rogan
Well, they don't want losers in certain games.
My daughter played softball, and no one lost.
bryan callen
That's ridiculous.
joe rogan
I'm like, I watched people lose.
brendan schaub
Fuck that noise, man.
joe rogan
How come no one lost?
There were four, and they were barely hitting the ball.
brendan schaub
I'm the dad keeping score.
1-0.
bryan callen
That's real life.
brendan schaub
2-0.
bryan callen
That's real life.
brendan schaub
Janine, you're out.
Get the fuck.
You only get three swings.
joe rogan
They don't learn that losing's okay because that's how you try harder because it feels bad to lose.
No one wants their kid to feel bad.
bryan callen
That's life.
joe rogan
Exactly.
You're preparing them for life.
brendan schaub
That's that Calabasas shit, man.
joe rogan
It's not Calabasas, dude.
This is not going on out here.
This is going on across the country.
It's the little kids.
brendan schaub
I'm in Aurora, Colorado.
You struck out and got made fun of.
joe rogan
I bet there's places today in Aurora, Colorado and all over the country that employ these ridiculous ideas.
I don't think it's local.
brendan schaub
I don't know, man.
bryan callen
Life is basically, I think life is, if you look at your life, life is working really hard to get to Accomplish something and losing to a degree anyway.
brendan schaub
Life is about failures.
bryan callen
And learning how to navigate that.
joe rogan
Well those failures are what motivate you to never feel that shitty feeling so it gets you off your ass.
Yes.
That's why people who are born rich or they win the lottery early, they're fucked.
brendan schaub
That's why we hate those people.
joe rogan
The motivation just slides away.
There's very little motivation if you're already wealthy.
brendan schaub
It's hard for me to relate to a dude who just grew up super rich and he's never had any struggles.
It's hard to sit down and have dinner with that dude.
joe rogan
I feel bad for them.
brendan schaub
Me too.
joe rogan
I feel bad for them.
brendan schaub
Because they have no idea.
joe rogan
Especially, you know any friends that are rich that were raised by their nanny and shit?
Where the mom and dad are both working 20 hours a day and no one's ever home and they're fucking weirded out.
bryan callen
They're lost, man.
brendan schaub
You see a lot of that.
Those rich guys who are surrounded by yes men and they come up wearing a shitty holiday sweater and you're like, nice fucking sweater and it ruins his night.
No one ever hangs out with these guys, man.
No one ever busts their balls.
bryan callen
That's so true, man.
brendan schaub
Sweet new haircut.
bryan callen
That's so interesting.
brendan schaub
Oh, ruins their night.
bryan callen
Dude, we were playing a cold, this silly game, like running charades, like a group of us.
And I made fun of the guy's boyfriend, the girl's boyfriend.
We said, that's not a word.
He had some stupid movie.
And he dropped the hat and threw his hands in the air and went off in the balcony.
And we were like, what?
brendan schaub
This is awkward.
bryan callen
He went out and...
Sulked and his girlfriend goes, he just gets really sensitive.
unidentified
Well, I'm gonna have to smack that guy in the mouth.
brendan schaub
That's what happens when you don't keep scoring shit.
joe rogan
I was on a sitcom once and this guy was ad-libbing to something.
It was an actor.
It was a couple comics and an actor and the actor tried to ad-lib something and it wasn't funny at all.
And we stone-faced it.
We were like, what?
Like, he just wanted to try something different.
How about I say this and that?
But it was really, he was not a bright guy.
And I remember we just looked at each other and we're like, that, no, I don't think that works.
He throws the fucking script up in the air and storms off the set.
All he said is, I don't think that works.
You tell that to a comic, they go, yeah, something fucked up about it, right?
You tell it to even a lot of funny people.
I told that they've People have good senses of humor.
bryan callen
We started laughing so hard, Brennan pitched an idea for this thing we're going to do and I was like, oh.
And then let me guess, then I go, let's get out of here.
I couldn't stop laughing.
I was like, that's not funny at all.
joe rogan
I couldn't stop laughing.
bryan callen
And we do all that, but we bust each other's balls.
The only thing I won't stand for is if you guys made fun of my Taekwondo.
That's the only thing I put my foot down.
unidentified
It's not good.
brendan schaub
You're lying.
joe rogan
Have you ever gone back and read your notebooks from your first years of comedy?
bryan callen
Sure have.
joe rogan
Dude, I have a notebook from when I was driving limos.
I found it the other day.
bryan callen
That's amazing.
brendan schaub
Must have been awesome.
joe rogan
It was unbelievably bad.
I should have quit.
brendan schaub
I bet it's awesome, though.
joe rogan
I can't believe I kept going.
bryan callen
Me too, bro.
joe rogan
I should have fucking retired.
bryan callen
It was so bad.
joe rogan
It was so bad.
Like, my ideas.
And to this day, like, sometimes I'll write ideas that are dog shit.
But I write the ideas that are dog shit hoping, like, man, there's some fucking something there.
Let me just write down, like, a half a concept, and then I'll sit down and start working on it.
bryan callen
Yep.
joe rogan
So it might have been that, but more likely I was just a 21-year-old retard with a pen.
brendan schaub
Nah, you gotta start somewhere, man.
bryan callen
God, I want to tell a story, but it'll make me sound bad.
joe rogan
Too late.
bryan callen
Aw, damn it.
All right, I'm just going to tell it.
joe rogan
Don't judge me.
We only have, like, two minutes to go.
brendan schaub
This better not be someone else's story.
bryan callen
I was in Jamaica.
I was in Jamaica.
I don't do drugs.
joe rogan
Is this the you getting high in Jamaica story again?
bryan callen
No, I know.
brendan schaub
Lindsay Lohan.
bryan callen
See, I don't want to tell it now.
brendan schaub
No, go.
If it's someone else's story, I'm going to punch you in the dick.
bryan callen
I don't condone...
joe rogan
Try finding it.
bryan callen
I don't condone cocaine use at all.
I was in Jamaica and somebody gave me some.
I may or may not have done it all night.
joe rogan
Wow.
bryan callen
And I wrote all night and kept waking up my girlfriend, who you know, my old girlfriend, and telling her what amazing bits.
And she was like, I was like, and God's a Rastafarian.
And I was high, I was doing lines and writing, writing, writing.
And I looked at my notes and it was basically one long bit about God being a Rastafarian.
And I thought it was the greatest thing I've ever written in my life.
And it was just fucking chicken scratch.
And the motto of the story, kids, is don't do cocaine in Jamaica because you are never going to write anything funny.
joe rogan
Brian Callen would be appearing at some club in Lexington, Kentucky with way better jokes than he just slugged.
bryan callen
Damn it.
unidentified
He's going to have a Rastafarian God joke for you, Kentucky.
joe rogan
This is a setup.
It's one of the best bits ever.
bryan callen
Best bits ever.
joe rogan
He just wants you to really lower your expectations.
bryan callen
I'm your creator, man.
I'm your creator.
Exactly.
Every team gonna be alright.
joe rogan
The fighter in the kid podcast is kicking all kinds of ass.
You guys gotta be happy about that.
You guys are storming the fucking sports charts.
You're the only thing that's on sports that's funny.
You should be a comedy podcast.
You're cheating by being on sports.
You know that, right?
unidentified
This is bullshit.
brendan schaub
We barely talk about sports.
joe rogan
You guys need to move over to comedy and talk about sports occasionally.
brendan schaub
That's what we do.
joe rogan
They look for funny shit.
They miss you.
They might miss you.
brendan schaub
That's a good point.
That was Fox's idea to do sports.
joe rogan
You gotta cut that tit.
brendan schaub
I'm gonna have to break off thefighterandthekidshop.com.
We're killing it with merchandise.
joe rogan
Kill it with the merchandise.
Go buy the shirts.
Go download the podcast.
For sure, subscribe on iTunes.
For sure.
bryan callen
I'll tell you my story if you do.
joe rogan
Yeah.
A bonus.
Brennan Schaub on Twitter.
Brian Callen on Twitter.
That's it, you dirty fucks.
Tomorrow, Burt Kreischer.

Until then, much love.
Big kiss.
