Speaker Time Text
unidentified
We're live, ladies and gentlemen.
joe rogan
This podcast will be a mess.
Just prepare yourself.
ian mccall
As usual.
joe rogan
If you're an MMA journalist, get your weightlifting chalk on your hands.
bryan callen
Chalk up!
joe rogan
Get ready.
brendan schaub
Get ready, bitches.
bryan callen
I'm full of opinions, everybody.
joe rogan
Hit those fucking keyboards.
This is essentially sort of a preview of this weekend's fight, but really it's just a chance to get together and fuck around.
bryan callen
I was told it was a breakdown.
brendan schaub
I was told a breakdown.
joe rogan
Did you prepare?
brendan schaub
I've studied all night for a breakdown.
bryan callen
I have my notes.
I was told this is a breakdown.
joe rogan
What are your thoughts, sir?
bryan callen
I'm glad you asked.
I'm going to go with Nate Diaz.
Now ask me why.
unidentified
Wow.
joe rogan
Why?
bryan callen
Well, the way I look at it, and correct me if I'm wrong, Connors boxed the daylights at everybody who, for the most part, either has his reach or smallest.
What he does is he hangs on the edge of the pocket.
joe rogan
That's a very good point.
bryan callen
He hangs on the edge of the pocket, and he's a counterpuncher, waits until you commit, slips and hits.
He's dealing with something very different with Nate, which is that Nate is longer and taller, and Nate doesn't have to do that.
And I wonder what he's going to have to do is either one of two things.
He's going to have to weave and get inside, or because Nate stands so flat, I mean sort of squares up with you, I guess he could back kick and front kick his body.
But Conor doesn't kick...
It's not when you think, watch out for Conor's hard kicks.
joe rogan
He actually kicks pretty good.
brendan schaub
He has very good kicks.
You also haven't seen much of him because he's smoking everyone.
He's murking everyone.
bryan callen
But Nate's a very durable guy too.
He spends a lot of time in those gyms with a lot of those Mexican boxers that stand in the hole and just bang.
brendan schaub
Which isn't Conor.
bryan callen
It's not, but I wonder how Conor's going to actually have to change a little bit of his boxing, and I'm curious to see how he does that.
joe rogan
Well, he's only fought one guy that's tall, and that's Max Holloway, and he's coincidentally the one guy that went through a decision with him.
brendan schaub
He was also hurt in that fight.
joe rogan
He hurt his knee in that fight.
During the fight, when he was passing the guard, he blew out his ACL. So, that definitely had a huge, huge effect.
But I think that you make some good points.
I think Dos Anjos showed a bit of the blueprint on how to beat Nate.
And one of the big things is that Nate stands real heavy on that front leg.
He comes in, he fires that hard right jab and stands real heavy on that front leg.
And Dos Anjos just lit that leg up.
He lit his legs up.
And because of that boxing-centered style, I mean, Nate will throw the occasional kick, but primarily he fights boxing when he's fighting.
His boxing's very good.
bryan callen
It is.
joe rogan
Very sharp.
He boxed up Gray Maynard.
He boxed up Marcus Davis.
brendan schaub
Michael Johnson.
Josh Thompson.
joe rogan
Michael Johnson, his last fight was one of his best fights.
bryan callen
Unbelievable.
joe rogan
Mike, Josh Thompson head-kicked him and knocked him out.
brendan schaub
That's right.
joe rogan
Yeah.
That was a different, you know, that was Josh Thompson, man.
That dude's had a series of injuries, but I still maintain he's one of the best lightweights in the world.
brendan schaub
Especially when he's in Strikeforce.
joe rogan
Yeah.
Well, he's getting older.
That's the issue.
He's like 36 years old now.
That's all it is.
brendan schaub
Yeah.
bryan callen
But do you think that Conor's met anyone yet who's as good a boxer as Nate?
unidentified
No.
joe rogan
Because Nate's a good boxer.
Definitely not.
ian mccall
Maybe Max.
joe rogan
Maybe Max.
Right.
But Max back then was two years ago plus.
Max was not as good as he is now.
brendan schaub
We're confident.
joe rogan
Max is on fire right now.
Max Holloway's on fire.
brendan schaub
I'd like to see him and Conor fight now.
That's a fight.
joe rogan
Fuck yeah.
ian mccall
It's coming, I think.
joe rogan
Well, I don't know about that, but I don't think that Conor really wants that 145 weight class anymore.
I mean, he looks so big right now.
brendan schaub
Yeah, he has it.
And I think at 55, fighting Dos Anjos, that's the fight at UFC 200, if he gets past Nate Diaz.
joe rogan
It actually is kind of interesting if he gets past Nate Diaz, you know, because it makes that fight bigger.
The fight at 200, it really makes it bigger.
You know, Dos Anjos broke his foot in the last minute of the last round of sparring.
brendan schaub
He's going against a high-level kickboxer.
And he checked the kick.
Broke his foot.
ian mccall
We use the same masseuse, and of course, you know, I get a text message like, Fuck!
This happened exactly.
Last minute, last round kind of thing.
brendan schaub
That's the thing, though.
At Kings, they go hard, man.
bryan callen
Do they wear foot pads?
brendan schaub
That's why they're so good.
bryan callen
Do they wear...
brendan schaub
Well, it's like a shin pad, so it's over it.
But if we throw him that hard and a high-level kickboxer is checking it, it's tough, man.
joe rogan
If you kick as hard as he does and you kick a tree, you're going to fucking break your foot.
brendan schaub
See, I think...
We know what Nate Diaz is going to bring to the table.
I think Conor knows.
I think everyone in this room knows what he's going to do.
We don't know what Conor's really going to do.
We really haven't seen all his tools, man.
I think Diaz is the perfect matchup so he can showcase all his tools.
Because Diaz, I don't think he's going to get murked in the first round.
We're going to see a lot of Conor and what he brings to the table.
joe rogan
Well, Conor's really good at lulling you with those kicks and then stepping in with that big left hand.
That left hand is just a fucking monster punch.
brendan schaub
From heaven.
joe rogan
Oh, man, he just throws it so perfect and he's got so much power behind it.
But I'll tell you, man, it's hard to hit Nate Diaz clean.
Hard to hit him clean.
He's tall.
He's slick.
He moves a lot.
You know, it's hard because his range is good.
He's also good at ducking under shit.
You know, he's good at anticipating.
brendan schaub
He's also high here, you know.
joe rogan
Yeah.
It could be interesting.
I think, man, if Nate Diaz got to a serious Muay Thai camp and really learned how to kick correctly and made more distance and then threw the occasional fucking takedown attempt in there.
I think with a lot of these guys, one of the issues is they got a great formula and that formula is winning fights and it can carry them very far.
But is it the best strategy?
The best strategy is the guy you're fighting that doesn't have any idea what the fuck you're about to do.
That's the George St. Pierre strategy.
George would just mix it up so well, and it was like one of his best assets.
He really didn't know what his attack was going to be.
With these guys, you know what their attack's going to be.
With Nate, you know what his attack's going to be.
But it's a fucking good attack.
brendan schaub
It's a good attack, but I think we're seeing a changing of the guard.
You're seeing these athletes like Luke Rockhold, who's just a freak.
Conor McGregor, these guys who can do it all.
So you have the old guard with...
I'm not hating on these guys, but I was one of the old guards.
I like to wrestle, box.
Didn't do a lot of kickboxing, didn't do a lot of kicks.
You look at Rashad Evans, really not a kickboxer.
Good at wrestling, good at boxing.
We know he's going to bring you to the table.
joe rogan
But Crazy's got a big head kick knockout in Sean Salmon.
That was one of his biggest highlight reel KOs.
ian mccall
For sure, but how long ago was that?
joe rogan
Long time ago, but you would have thought that that would have been a bigger part of his arsenal.
brendan schaub
I agree.
joe rogan
He can do it.
brendan schaub
He's athletic enough.
You look at a guy like Ryan Bader, wrestler, boxer.
So you have this old guard.
The new guys coming up, man, if you don't have it all, good luck.
And they're tossing these guys up who are phenomenal fighters.
They have these huge fan base and stuff like that, and they're giving it to these young athletic guys, and good luck with that skill set, man.
joe rogan
I think this sport is just still evolving.
We're in the middle of it and we're watching it happen, but it's still all over the place.
Your weight class is a perfect example.
Your weight class, you cannot be one-dimensional.
You cannot.
There's no one.
You can't do it.
It's not an option.
There's no one who's one-dimensional who's anywhere near the top ten.
ian mccall
Maybe out of the top five, say, Formiga is the most one-dimensional, or Cejudo.
But are they really?
You know, Formiga is this amazing ground guy, but he tries to kickbox with everybody.
Cejudo is the wrestler, but he's trying to punch a hole in your head.
joe rogan
His fucking striking is not bad.
Cejudo's striking is very, very sharp.
ian mccall
A little slow for the weight class, but he's so strong, and he does negate the gap very well.
So I think that...
He takes care of his lack of speed, but then you fight someone like Demetrius where everything is about speed.
So that's where I think he's still too slow to beat Demetrius.
joe rogan
It's gonna be an interesting fight.
It's gonna be a real interesting fight.
I mean, you're talking about a guy who's an Olympic gold medalist in wrestling.
And he's a motherfucker with his mindset.
I mean, he's a winner.
So who knows?
Just a straight up winner.
brendan schaub
Straight up winner.
All those Olympic athletes that come out of the UFC, they're all pretty successful, man.
Think about them.
You've got Dan Henderson, DC, Cejudo, Ronda Rousey.
That Olympic mindset, man, it's priceless.
joe rogan
Do you remember when Mark Schultz fought?
brendan schaub
Yes.
joe rogan
It was like, hello everybody.
They're lucky.
The whole division is so lucky that he had a good wrestling teaching gig.
bryan callen
Yeah, they got a good offer.
joe rogan
They wouldn't let him fight in the UFC. Was he Brigham Young?
I think that's what he was with.
And they were like, you can't fight in the UFC. You can't fight cage fighting while you're teaching wrestling.
brendan schaub
Not BYU, son.
joe rogan
They're so lucky because if that motherfucker got in there, everybody's on their back.
bryan callen
Look at Yo Romero.
brendan schaub
Every single person.
bryan callen
Look at Yo Romero.
What's interesting about somebody like Yo Romero is that you've seen him get taken down.
joe rogan
He doesn't give a fuck.
bryan callen
Yeah.
joe rogan
You can take him down.
bryan callen
I'll just stand up.
I'll just stand up.
unidentified
Cool luck holding me down with gay Jesus on my side.
brendan schaub
Gay Jesus on my side.
unidentified
Yeah.
brendan schaub
The way you hold him down is drug test him.
You want to hold him down?
Go ahead and drug test him.
bryan callen
Or put gay Jesus on top of him.
brendan schaub
Let's be real.
So screwed.
So screwed.
Oh, I don't mean to flip scripts there, but how about Bisbing Anderson Silva?
I was blowing your phone up during that.
joe rogan
Yeah, man.
Blowing you up.
First of all, Bisbing is one of the toughest fucking men on the planet.
unidentified
God.
joe rogan
That dude has one eyeball.
He got knocked out dead at the end of the third round.
Came back and won the fourth.
What the fuck?
ian mccall
How is that not talked about?
The guy's blind in one eye.
People don't know that.
joe rogan
He must be able to see something.
bryan callen
He can see something, but it's...
Because we were reading the teleprompter, and it's difficult.
That eye is, I guess, at certain angles, he's got to hold his eye a certain way because it's kind of tunnel vision.
brendan schaub
There's oil in it.
There's oil in his retina.
bryan callen
So he has to read with the other eye.
brendan schaub
Of his eye.
joe rogan
Yeah, and that's to protect the retina, keep it in place.
Is that the idea?
bryan callen
They can't attach it yet because if they attach it...
ian mccall
Does it rip off again?
bryan callen
Yeah, if they attach it again, it'll be more damaging.
So he has to wait until after he's done fighting, they can reattach.
brendan schaub
So think about this.
He beat Anderson Silva with one eye.
Oh, and Anderson's a southpaw, you fucks.
How crazy is that?
unidentified
Crazy.
brendan schaub
It's nuts, man.
ian mccall
Nick Diaz beat him high.
joe rogan
Yeah, right?
The flying knee that Anderson landed was goddamn glorious.
brendan schaub
It was nice.
joe rogan
The way he did it, he jumps up with the front leg or with the right leg, and then there's almost like a pause in the air.
Kadoosh!
bryan callen
He still had that ability to move, like just kind of stare at you right against the cage.
It was weird when he was in the middle of the cage.
He didn't seem to want to throw.
It was so weird.
You felt like he had Bisping, especially at the beginning of the fourth round, he could have capitalized and he was hesitant.
joe rogan
He's 40. Is that what it is?
He's 40. He's a 40-year-old man.
brendan schaub
I don't know why we can't just chalk that up.
He's just an older fighter, man.
He's phenomenal.
joe rogan
Fighting natural.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
And, you know, Bisping was giving him a ton of shit, saying, you've been on steroids your whole career.
brendan schaub
Fair assumption.
joe rogan
We don't know if that's true or not true.
We just know the one time he was tested, he got caught.
brendan schaub
So it's not like outlandish for Bisping to say that.
joe rogan
The one time out of competition testing, he got caught.
Who the fuck knows, man?
What's hilarious is when you look at his trainer.
And you go, um, what?
brendan schaub
Purple man.
joe rogan
That guy's 70. I think he's in his 60s.
I think he might be like 65, 66 years old or something like that.
brendan schaub
He's got dick veins at the side of his neck.
joe rogan
He's got more muscle than all of us together.
If we packed all of our muscle together...
brendan schaub
Easily.
joe rogan
He looks like a cluster of horse cocks with feet so big.
He's so big.
So he's not natural.
Okay, so if he's not natural, then Anderson knows about steroids.
He's heard of them.
brendan schaub
He's familiar with them.
joe rogan
The guy who's teaching him how to lift weights and running him through his strength and conditioning program is obviously going through it.
ian mccall
Oh, hey bro, I got this stuff.
Ten years later.
joe rogan
Yeah.
Oh, you know, all these years you've been fighting, this is stuff that I do.
It's probably not interesting for you.
bryan callen
For recovery.
joe rogan
But it makes you a super person.
I know you're in a sport that's like, if your body moves better, you don't get brain damage, but that's not important.
bryan callen
This testing is super effective, isn't it?
joe rogan
Dude, Jeff Novitski is a motherfucker, and he's not playing games.
He's trying to catch dudes.
He's showing up at your house at 6 o'clock in the morning, and he's taking your piss.
brendan schaub
That's his goal, too.
He's taking your blood.
ian mccall
They got me the other day before I came up here, or no, when I went to do Daniele Bolelli's podcast.
And they called me as I'm ten minutes away, five minutes away.
Where are you?
I'm in LA. I was like, well, you're at my gym.
Just wait for me.
I'll come back after the show.
No, no, no.
We're coming to you, bitch.
brendan schaub
The bloodhound song.
ian mccall
And they fucking drove up.
joe rogan
To Daniele's house?
ian mccall
Yeah.
No, to where he does his podcast.
joe rogan
Wow.
ian mccall
They watched me do the podcast after they tested me.
Super nice people, very professional, but they're not playing games.
brendan schaub
They're testing for everything?
They test for weed and everything?
ian mccall
Everything.
joe rogan
Yeah, but weed doesn't matter out of competition.
Out of competition, it doesn't matter.
brendan schaub
So let me ask you this.
joe rogan
Nor does Coke, by the way.
That was the Jon Jones situation.
brendan schaub
Have fun, boys.
joe rogan
So let me ask you this.
brendan schaub
If Nate Diaz, short-notice fight...
joe rogan
Let's take the word if out.
Because I know what you're going to say.
brendan schaub
So let's say he's smoking weed, he beats Connor.
joe rogan
Yeah, I'm sure.
brendan schaub
Then he gets flags.
It's a DQ, right?
It'd be a no contest.
joe rogan
If I smoked weed today, the fight is in two days, or three days, right?
If I smoked weed today, and the day of the fight, I ask them, would you test me?
I want to find out what the levels are.
I think I'd be okay.
I think you literally have to get high the day before or the day of with the new parameters.
unidentified
Oh, really?
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Well, that's good then.
joe rogan
Yeah.
It's way different.
It's way different.
It's way different than it used to be.
So you have to, it's not like trace.
They used to have trace amounts of THC. But I really believe that if I smoke weed today and I asked them to test me on Saturday, I'd be okay.
brendan schaub
Yeah, let's not smoke the day of the fight though, huh?
joe rogan
Well, Nick Diaz, apparently when he fought Gomi, was tested so high that this motherfucker had to be high as FUCK when he fought Gomi.
brendan schaub
That's insane.
joe rogan
Just went out there.
ian mccall
Who pulls off a go-go fucking platter in MMA, too?
joe rogan
It was amazing.
Beautiful.
And after he got his cheek broken, he got hit with a bomb by Gomi.
bryan callen
When can Nick fight again?
About nine months?
brendan schaub
Bisping wants that fight.
joe rogan
They changed it around.
It was supposed to be five years and they made it at like a year and a half, I think.
Is that what they made it?
I think they made it 16 months.
brendan schaub
Way shorter, yeah.
bryan callen
You know what would be an interesting fight?
Only because they fought before and Nick won.
I'm surprised Nick isn't calling Robbie Lawler out.
joe rogan
Well, I don't think Nick's calling out anybody.
Nick's just chilling out and waiting for all this bullshit to settle.
He got fucking railroaded, man, because Nick passed two WADA tests.
The really deep, comprehensive blood screens that they use for the Olympics.
He passed those with flying colors.
What he didn't pass is some bullshit-ass Quest Diagnostics Lab test that the fucking Nevada State Athletic Commission uses.
unidentified
Super shady.
joe rogan
Super shady.
And these assholes wouldn't even pay attention to the other two tests And they tried to ban him for five years.
brendan schaub
That's insane, man.
joe rogan
Yeah, they're assholes, man.
Vanderlei's silver thing is another example.
Assholes.
They're assholes.
What they did to Vanderlei, banned him for life.
Vanderlei just signed with Bellator.
unidentified
Yep.
brendan schaub
Did he sign with Bellator?
joe rogan
Yes, he did.
brendan schaub
Today?
Is it breaking news or some shit?
unidentified
Yes, he did.
brendan schaub
Damn, I didn't know that.
joe rogan
But here's the deal.
We talked about this in the last podcast.
brendan schaub
Kimbo Wanderlei Silva?
joe rogan
Well, Wanderlei has to fight Fedor first.
He's going to fight Fedor first.
That's the big fight.
brendan schaub
In Japan or whatever.
joe rogan
In Japan.
But having that fight in Japan could throw his whole Bellator deal in jeopardy because he's going to have to fight on Indian casinos.
Once he fights, which at Wanderlei's age is probably not the worst thing in the world anyway, because...
brendan schaub
Let's go ahead and juice up.
joe rogan
There's some certain guys...
Bobby Lashley...
There's certain guys that only fight in certain places, and they look ridiculously muscular.
Now, I don't know exactly how everything works.
brendan schaub
Peter Belfort, Brazil.
joe rogan
But I know that...
Well, that's even more shit.
That's even more weird.
brendan schaub
Hector Lombard, Australia.
Only, please.
joe rogan
The thing is...
They don't have a Jeff Nowitzki at Bellator.
They don't have a fucking hawk.
brendan schaub
Nor do they want one.
joe rogan
No, they don't want one.
brendan schaub
You don't want one.
joe rogan
But aren't you dealing with a commission?
I don't want one.
I'll tell the UFC, what are we trying to do?
brendan schaub
What are you trying to do?
Hey, how dare you?
joe rogan
Let's fucking move on with our lives.
brendan schaub
You know what the fuck you guys are doing?
bryan callen
But you're dealing with a commission, right?
Let's move on!
You're dealing with a commission.
joe rogan
Commission's easy.
bryan callen
Oh.
brendan schaub
The UFC enforced this, not the commission.
joe rogan
Yeah, this is the UFC's idea.
Look, the commission, look, it's a famous line that someone made up, I don't know who it was, but they said that passing one of those urine tests is an intelligence test, it's not a drug test.
brendan schaub
Correct.
joe rogan
It might have been Victor Conte.
It might have been Victor Conte.
But, you know, who's the Balco guy.
brendan schaub
Oh, yeah.
joe rogan
If anybody fucking knows, he knows.
So, I think Vandelay...
Well, first of all, I think they should fucking...
Vandelay's suspension should be exactly as long as it would have been if he got popped, which I think is nine months at the time.
Was it?
Was it back then when he got caught?
Was it nine months back then?
brendan schaub
Back then it was nine months, yeah, if you tested positive.
bryan callen
Fucking nine months.
joe rogan
So he's good.
He should be done.
His suspension should be over.
Fine him a little bit and let's move on, man.
The guy never tested positive once.
bryan callen
He never tested positive once?
joe rogan
Never!
unidentified
Wow.
joe rogan
Vanderlei probably definitely did something.
I mean, you look at when he was fighting in Japan, but Japan didn't have tests.
Or if they did have tests, they didn't care.
This is coming straight from Ensign Inouye, who said it was on his contract that said, we will not test you for steroids.
And Ensign...
Ensign is incapable of lying.
He does not lie.
brendan schaub
Chuck Liddell talked about it.
He said he took a piss test and was like walking around.
They're like, uh, just put it on the back there.
joe rogan
Just throw it in the toilet.
brendan schaub
He was like, I'm not going to set it on the table.
There's no one around.
Like, just wherever then.
He's like, all right.
They just want to check it out.
ian mccall
Here's a Sharpie.
Draw your name on it.
Don't spill, please.
joe rogan
Just write negative on it.
brendan schaub
Just put whatever you want, man.
Put whatever you want.
joe rogan
Write healthy.
brendan schaub
Either way, awesome to watch.
joe rogan
Do not drink.
unidentified
That's all.
bryan callen
You came back, do not drink.
joe rogan
But, you know, man, everybody knew.
You know, if you have a league where everybody knows that everybody else is doing whatever the fuck they want, that's a different thing.
It's not really cheating, because it's not illegal over there.
It's not the same thing as over here.
brendan schaub
You just can't do that and be a legit sport, you know?
You just can't.
ian mccall
Baseball, football.
joe rogan
Powerlifting.
brendan schaub
Excuse me?
joe rogan
Powerlifting.
brendan schaub
I didn't hear you.
I'm going to get so much hate for this.
I'm talking about a mainstream sport, bro.
unidentified
Don't ever, ever, ever compare powerlifting?
brendan schaub
Because you look at NBA, strict drug testing, NFL, MLB, now it's super strict.
There's fucking no home runs anymore.
joe rogan
What would people look like if bodybuilding and powerlifting, if 100% it was legit, across the board, no steroids whatsoever, knocking on your door every morning at 4 a.m.
brendan schaub
They would all look like Callum.
joe rogan
Look at the 60s.
brendan schaub
They would all look like Callum in Speedos.
No one would pay attention.
unidentified
Right.
bryan callen
Look at the 60s.
In the 60s, bodybuilders and powerlifters, their legs, especially the bodybuilders, their legs are actually kind of small.
brendan schaub
No, they look good.
They look like normal.
joe rogan
They look healthy.
ian mccall
They just all do this, and they're in their high-waisted tights, and they're just hot.
joe rogan
There's certain guys from the bodybuilding era of Schwarzenegger, that to this day, they look small but yoked as fuck, like Frank Zane.
Frank Zane never looked like Lee Haney or Dorian Yates or any of those freaks.
brendan schaub
Ronnie Coleman was what, 320, all muscle?
joe rogan
There was a guy- And only like 5'9", right?
brendan schaub
It's insane!
joe rogan
Isn't Ronnie Coleman fairly short?
brendan schaub
I thought Ronnie Coleman was like 6-something.
Oh, he's a big guy.
6'2", 6'3".
joe rogan
Which one is really short?
brendan schaub
Dorian Yates, I thought.
joe rogan
Is Dorian?
brendan schaub
Pretty sure.
bryan callen
But back in the day, like before they started doing a lot of steroids, like, well, who did Pumping Iron Gaines?
The guy's last name is Gaines, and I knew him and I spoke to him.
He said there was a black guy featured in Pumping Iron, and I can't remember his name, but- Albert Beckles?
Really muscular guy.
joe rogan
Older guy?
bryan callen
Yeah, he was eating 20 pounds of red meat a day.
unidentified
What?
bryan callen
And that's how he was getting...
He was like, lions eat a lot of meat, so he was eating 20 pounds of...
brendan schaub
That's that bro science stuff.
unidentified
Lions?
bryan callen
God damn it.
Literally the other body...
He was shredded, though.
He was shredded.
brendan schaub
Yeah, but you're not a lion, are you?
unidentified
Right.
bryan callen
The other bodybuilders were like, what?
He would eat rice?
This guy's awesome.
I guess a large quantity of rice and 20 pounds of red meat a day.
joe rogan
Somebody needs to tell him that gorillas only eat broccoli.
bryan callen
Yeah, right?
brendan schaub
Right?
joe rogan
All they eat is fucking go to the zoo.
They're eating stalks of broccoli and bamboo shoots.
ian mccall
But their dicks are this big.
joe rogan
That's true.
That's true.
bryan callen
He was shredded in the...
Did you see his dick?
unidentified
How big was it?
ian mccall
Was it meat?
bryan callen
We dated for a little while.
joe rogan
It wasn't big, but it was tasty.
brendan schaub
It was tasty.
Those were the days because it was Arnold and Venice Beach, Gold's Gym, bitches everywhere, smoking weed, slinging dick.
bryan callen
Franco Columbo was in my friend's acting class.
unidentified
That's right.
brendan schaub
Franco Columbo was super short.
joe rogan
Yeah.
That Franco Columbo used to be able to take one of those hot water bottles and his lungs were so strong they would make it explode.
He would blow into it until it blew up.
A fucking hot water bottle.
One of those rubber things, a thick rubber.
brendan schaub
Oh, yeah.
joe rogan
He would...
unidentified
Boom!
joe rogan
Boom!
Nobody else could do it.
Very few people could do it.
They'd be like, what in the fuck?
bryan callen
He'd do dips.
He would do dips with two dudes hanging off his waist.
And he would do dips.
brendan schaub
Let's grab some weights.
joe rogan
How about what he looks like today?
bryan callen
Remember Platts?
joe rogan
Yes, Tom Platts.
bryan callen
You can see it on YouTube.
He's squats.
He deep squats 500 pounds.
I think it was 25 times.
brendan schaub
Dude, those guys were doing it back then, though.
Roids, lifting weights, hanging out on the beach, Venice, smoking weed.
joe rogan
Banging chicks.
brendan schaub
Tons of chicks.
joe rogan
Letting guys blow them so they have money for steroids.
brendan schaub
Good chance.
Good chance Arnold was sucking weed in his dick.
joe rogan
Something was going on.
That was a big thing with those bodybuilders.
A big thing.
unidentified
They're the original sugar babies.
brendan schaub
I'm dead serious, man.
joe rogan
Sugar baby is such a great word.
brendan schaub
Isn't it such a good word?
A sugar baby?
Bodybuilders are the original sugar baby.
joe rogan
Well, you got to do what you got to do.
brendan schaub
You ain't just going to lift and pay the bills.
joe rogan
Be small or suck a dick.
You got two options.
ian mccall
You want muscle, son?
Come here.
joe rogan
Come on.
brendan schaub
You want to hang out with your boys on the beach?
You better suck this dick.
joe rogan
Imagine if steroids didn't work, but sucking dick did.
brendan schaub
Everyone would be so swole.
joe rogan
The only way to get swole, you gotta suck a dick.
ian mccall
Callum would be the biggest motherfucker in the room.
bryan callen
You're damn right.
joe rogan
They would change what's gay.
They would change it.
I'm not gay because I like dicks.
I'm just trying to get big.
brendan schaub
No, bro.
I'm just trying to blow up.
joe rogan
Trying to get big.
brendan schaub
Trying to get big, man.
bryan callen
Do you remember when guys would take brewer's yeast back in the day?
Do you remember that?
Oh, dude.
I knew guys who would just always lift and they'd go, check this out.
Why would they take brewer's yeast?
I don't know.
Apparently brewer's yeast makes you bigger or something.
brendan schaub
That's that old school.
That's super old school.
bryan callen
They'd sell it in pill form.
You don't remember that?
joe rogan
No, not at all.
brendan schaub
When steroids hit, they didn't think it was as bad as it was, right?
Lyle Alzado was kind of the first one who was like, oh, I'm going to die because I use steroids.
But before it wasn't a big deal.
It was kind of like cigarettes, right?
joe rogan
See, Lyle Alzado, I don't think it was because of that.
I think what Lyle Alzado was doing, he was doing an early form of human growth hormone.
I might be off base here.
Jamie won't look this up real quick.
brendan schaub
I'm just saying Alzado was the first to say though.
joe rogan
But the early form of human growth hormone was taken from cadavers.
It wasn't made in a lab with bacteria, the way they make growth hormone today.
In the early form of human growth hormone, you would take it and there was like crazy adverse side effects.
Like, people who got really fucked up from it.
bryan callen
They get leukemia and all kinds of stuff.
joe rogan
Oh, yeah.
You can get fucking Jacob Crooksfeld.
You can get mad cow disease from it.
unidentified
Jesus.
joe rogan
You can get prions from it.
You can get all kinds of crazy shit.
brendan schaub
I think Alvedo was saying that he was dying because of that, and then scientists came out and were like, nah, son.
I don't think it...
bryan callen
You had a brain tumor.
That's what it was.
joe rogan
Well, you know, you also got to deal with the massive amount of trauma that guy took to the head.
brendan schaub
Played football for 30 years.
joe rogan
Just bang, bang, bang.
unidentified
Maniac.
joe rogan
I mean, who knows?
There's all sorts of bad things that happen to your brain when you play football for 30 years.
I mean...
brendan schaub
Especially the way he did.
ian mccall
Yeah, football back then was different.
joe rogan
Who knows why?
brendan schaub
Kind of.
joe rogan
Why he got brain...
But here's the thing.
Not a lot of other guys that were doing what he did got brain tumors.
So it could have been completely unrelated.
brendan schaub
Because don't they say human growth hormone, from what I understand, is...
So it's going to help grow everything that's good, but also if you have a tumor, it's going to help grow that.
joe rogan
It could.
It's potentially...
That is potentially a side effect.
brendan schaub
Mm-hmm.
joe rogan
You know, that's why one of the things they say that's really important, and if you do do that, you gotta get yourself scanned.
And if you're doing it like the way those guys are doing it, where you're taking like 10 units a day, you know, they're taking massive amounts.
brendan schaub
That's why the bodybuilders show big, and they have those power guts, where they have abs, but it's guts.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Yeah, man.
joe rogan
Yeah.
Well, it's like these bulging muscles, too.
That's the other thing.
Like, if you have those gigantic, like, Lee Haney ab muscles, you've got to think of his whole body.
Everything's giant.
Everything's giant.
So his ab muscles are giant, too.
They stick out.
Also because they're huge.
brendan schaub
And his organs are growing, too.
bryan callen
Is it growing your dick?
joe rogan
Apparently, if you do take massive amounts for long periods of time, it can grow your organs larger.
But I think what we're looking at and where you're looking at those guys, a lot of it is just massive muscle.
brendan schaub
I agree.
It's more muscle than we've ever seen.
Because you look at Arnold.
Even Arnold's like, it's a different game, man.
When I was doing it, it was basically just steroids.
And now they're doing all these designer drugs.
They sweat non-stop.
I don't know if you've hung out with a current bodybuilder.
They sweat non-stop.
Because their bodies are constantly like, fuck, man.
Straight up dying.
joe rogan
They're always dying.
brendan schaub
Straight up dying.
joe rogan
So that's Dorian and Lee Haney together.
bryan callen
Dorian Yates was very tall from what I understand, wasn't he?
joe rogan
Well, if Lee Haney's six feet tall, it looks like Dorian's somewhere in the same mane.
bryan callen
He's an orange lion.
joe rogan
Glorious mane.
bryan callen
He's Donald Trump.
He looks like Donald Trump.
brendan schaub
Dude, isn't it weird how they turn bronze?
Because black guys, right?
They're like, fuck, you can see every muscle.
So a white dude's like, dude, we gotta get black.
It's the original chocolate face.
ian mccall
Some guys get really dark.
Yeah, they'll have a white face and then paint the rest of them so dark.
brendan schaub
Black.
ian mccall
They're straight black.
joe rogan
Yeah, like Jamaican.
brendan schaub
Yeah, because they've got to compete with the black guys.
joe rogan
Yeah, just to show contrast, to show the muscles.
brendan schaub
Dude, black guys own bodybuilding now.
joe rogan
Do they own it now?
brendan schaub
Phil Heath, five-time Mr. Olympia champion.
Before that, well, it was Jake Cutler, but then you had Ronnie Coleman for all those years.
Dexter Jackson.
joe rogan
I don't know how long you could do that for, to take that much steroids at that high a level.
How long can you do that?
brendan schaub
What's the most?
unidentified
Eight?
brendan schaub
I think eight is the most.
bryan callen
No, six, I think, right?
joe rogan
How long did Arnie do it?
How many years did Arnie win?
brendan schaub
Not long, because Arnie was doing it right, and then he just blew the fuck up and went full celebrity.
He was like, you know what?
I'm going to quit fucking lifting weights with you, meet him, and go make some money.
bryan callen
Phil Heath wants to get 10 titles and then quit.
That sounds like a good number.
joe rogan
The problem with those guys is what do they do when it's over?
They showed some of the guys from the old days that are still alive today and they get off the sauce and their body is just depressed.
ian mccall
Wouldn't they have to keep doing it to fill the gap in?
joe rogan
They're going to have to do something, some form of testosterone, but the kidneys is from the weight cutting.
You know what it is?
Yeah, the kidneys is not from steroids.
The kidneys is from the massive dehydration.
When you see those guys when they're standing on that scale or on that stage and they're posing, they're down to like 3% body fat.
brendan schaub
They're close to death.
joe rogan
Close to death.
brendan schaub
No carbs.
joe rogan
No water.
No carbs.
Their bodies are just like shrugged.
brendan schaub
If you try and talk to one when they're getting ready for that, their brain barely functions because they're just so depleted.
joe rogan
Yeah, they know how to do this.
brendan schaub
It's so dangerous, man.
So dangerous.
bryan callen
Well, now they manipulate their insulin, too.
They do all kinds of weird stuff.
joe rogan
Yes, that's dangerous.
brendan schaub
Did you see the new pumping iron?
joe rogan
No.
brendan schaub
Oh, it's good.
bryan callen
Generation Iron?
brendan schaub
Yeah.
Generation Iron.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah.
ian mccall
Netflix?
brendan schaub
I'm sure.
bryan callen
Yep, with Kai Greene.
brendan schaub
Kai Greene.
bryan callen
Kai Greene, who's a giant...
He's a giant gay bodybuilder.
unidentified
No, no, no.
brendan schaub
He's not gay.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Whoa, bro.
Civ, how dare you?
joe rogan
Sorry.
brendan schaub
Kai Greene is a guy...
joe rogan
Why are you throwing that away?
brendan schaub
When we're talking gay for pay, the reason he doesn't win is there's videos out there of him fucking grapefruits for money.
unidentified
Right.
brendan schaub
It might be a cantaloupe, but he's doing some gay stuff.
He's stripping for men, and it's all over the internet.
bryan callen
He did gay porn, didn't he?
brendan schaub
No.
unidentified
Hey, man.
joe rogan
Why do you say that?
bryan callen
I feel like he did.
brendan schaub
No, he didn't.
joe rogan
He didn't.
bryan callen
He's awesome.
He puts on a mask, a doll mask, and poses in subways.
brendan schaub
He comes in second to Phil Heath every year.
One of the reasons why he doesn't win is because he has this history of doing some promiscuous stuff with men.
There's a video of him stripping and shoves his dick in front of the guy's face.
Yeah, I guess so, man.
joe rogan
If they let him compete, they should let him win.
ian mccall
That's why the gays never win.
brendan schaub
Well, he comes in second.
joe rogan
That's rude.
unidentified
Look at his hair.
joe rogan
That bun in the back of his head is adorable.
bryan callen
He's amazing.
ian mccall
Maybe that's the offensive part they don't like, is the hair.
joe rogan
Yeah, it's the bun.
Oh, look at this.
What's going on there, guys?
bryan callen
I agree, and they're big rivals, by the way.
joe rogan
And Phil Heath.
Boy, they are both enormous.
You know, here's the problem.
When it gets down to this, like these two guys, how the fuck do you decide who wins?
brendan schaub
How could you even tell?
joe rogan
Do you tell?
Can you tell?
Well, you can because you're a good wine connoisseur.
It's like the same thing.
bryan callen
It's symmetry.
joe rogan
How do you know a great glass of wine?
The tannins and the oaky flavor.
It's a feeling.
bryan callen
It's a feeling I have.
brendan schaub
I don't get how they do it either.
bryan callen
I don't get it.
It's symmetry.
You're looking at...
Muscle development, but you're also looking at symmetry.
joe rogan
Yeah, but they all look like that.
But these two guys, they're in different stages of the pose.
Like the guy on the left, his arms are further apart.
No, not much.
bryan callen
Yeah, but one chose that pose and the other chose...
See, Phil, he...
brendan schaub
No, they do side-by-side poses.
bryan callen
Right, but see how Kai Greene forgot about his legs.
Phil said, I'm going to open my legs a little bit.
Look at the leg muscular.
Look at that.
It's perfect.
joe rogan
It's insane.
bryan callen
He's perfectly proportional.
brendan schaub
You know Phil played basketball in college and was 178 pounds, point guard.
joe rogan
And he's got to be like 300 pounds.
brendan schaub
Good buddy of mine, man, from Denver, yeah.
joe rogan
You know him?
brendan schaub
Yeah, really well.
joe rogan
How long is he going to do this for?
bryan callen
He said he wants 10 times.
brendan schaub
Yeah, this is his fifth, he wants 10. So five more years, and his body's like, Jesus Christ.
Making that cheddar, though.
joe rogan
Is he making cheddar?
For real?
brendan schaub
Yeah, seven figures a year.
joe rogan
How do they do that?
How do they make that money?
brendan schaub
Yeah, so he'll go to England.
He'll do all these big pro-ams, you know?
Who knows?
He'll do all these big pro-ams and get paid bank.
Like, over in Europe and the Middle East, bodybuilding's huge.
joe rogan
Europe?
brendan schaub
Yeah, huge.
Way bigger than it is here.
joe rogan
You got $250,000 to win.
$400.
brendan schaub
But then in sponsors, he's making six, seven figures a year.
bryan callen
He's got his own line, too.
joe rogan
It's interesting how much it jumped up for 2015. It went from $250 to $275 to $400.
bryan callen
He's also got his own line.
He's got his own supplement line that I think does pretty well.
brendan schaub
Yeah, called Gifted Nutrition, but I don't think it's...
He's not making his money off that.
He's making his money doing these touring.
He gets on with Olympia, and literally two days later, he's flying to the Middle East, flying to England.
bryan callen
He said he's gone 300 days a year.
brendan schaub
He's always traveling.
Yeah, nuts.
joe rogan
Well, seminars are a big way for a lot of athletes to make money, including MMA guys.
A lot of guys make a lot of their money.
A lot of jujitsu guys make a lot of their money.
ian mccall
Especially jujitsu.
brendan schaub
Yeah, especially jujitsu.
joe rogan
Jujitsu is huge.
And jujitsu is one of the few seminars where you could really get something out of it.
brendan schaub
I agree.
joe rogan
You know, if you go to see a Muay Thai seminar, you might learn a little bit.
brendan schaub
Good luck.
joe rogan
I mean, you could, but a lot of people know a lot about Muay Thai.
Muay Thai is like repetition, knowledge, sparring, great coaching over long periods of time.
But jiu-jitsu, a guy could show you one technique and you could tap a guy with it the next week.
brendan schaub
A different setup or something?
unidentified
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Yeah, it's priceless, man.
joe rogan
One eye-opening thing.
unidentified
You're like, ooh.
joe rogan
I was watching your boy Cyborg roll.
He was doing some drills the other day.
Goddamn, that guy flows.
brendan schaub
Freak, man.
unidentified
Woo!
joe rogan
He was doing this roll from controlling on top, side control, to the truck, to the back, to taking a collar choke from behind.
brendan schaub
It's crazy how he moves.
joe rogan
Oh my god.
brendan schaub
He's doing Eddie's imitation, is that right?
I think he's doing Super Fight.
joe rogan
Jesus Christ, I hope he is.
I hope he is.
brendan schaub
I'm pretty sure he's doing a super fight.
joe rogan
Well, that whole Eddie Bravo invitational when they're going to do the open weight, like anybody can compete, the absolute, that's going to be amazing.
brendan schaub
It's going to be nuts.
joe rogan
Oh my god.
brendan schaub
I know Onnit's doing one of 165 and under at the Onnit Academy.
joe rogan
In Austin, yeah.
brendan schaub
Yeah, March 24th.
Cal and I are doing the play-by-play for that.
joe rogan
Are you really?
brendan schaub
With a jiu-jitsu guy.
bryan callen
I was going to say, hopefully, because I'm going to be like...
joe rogan
You could probably do the jiu-jitsu play-by-play.
brendan schaub
For sure.
ian mccall
Who are you guys dealing with?
bryan callen
I'm going to have some trouble.
He's got him now!
brendan schaub
Someone who's running the jiu-jitsu thing.
Onnit got him.
joe rogan
That guy's strong.
Do you know who the jiu-jitsu play-by-play guy is?
brendan schaub
I don't.
I asked him.
joe rogan
Todd White lives in Onnit.
Maybe it would be him.
brendan schaub
It's going to be fun, though.
joe rogan
Fuck yeah.
Yeah, jujitsu tournaments of the future.
I really think so.
And I think one of the cool things about it, too, is that, you know, me can definitely get injured, definitely get, you know, broken bones and stuff, but you can compete in and not worry about head trauma.
So I think a lot of people that are interested in martial arts are gravitating towards that because they're realizing now, like, hey, this is probably...
There's not a lot of options if you want to learn how to fight where you're not going to get your brain rattled.
bryan callen
There's such a debate now, like in Europe especially, about kids playing rugby and any kind of contact sport.
brendan schaub
Fuck Europe!
Look at America!
bryan callen
I mean, it's a very real thing where doctors and academics are going, hold on, like, I know it's a great sport, but you are talking about head trauma to your 14-year-old.
That's a fact.
What that's going to do to him later down the line, we don't know.
brendan schaub
Dude, America is football.
bryan callen
Chances are you'll probably be fine.
joe rogan
Well, you're talking about someone who's so young that they don't really understand the repercussions of their current actions.
And if you're doing something at 14 that might affect you when you're 44, that's kind of crazy.
You know?
bryan callen
Yeah, but then yet again, this country has a lot of people that play football and they're fine at 44. So, you know, a lot of people play for four years.
unidentified
Deesh.
joe rogan
I don't know about all that.
brendan schaub
I don't know about that.
joe rogan
Yeah, most of those guys are fucked up.
They're just fucked up quietly.
bryan callen
But not if you played in high school.
Not if you played in high school.
joe rogan
Dude, a lot of people that they've tested that are high school students have CTE. A lot of them.
brendan schaub
They're finding more and more.
bryan callen
Sure.
I'm sure it causes damage, but what I'm saying is that it's not as though...
I don't think the epidemic of people who played football...
Like if you said, well, most people who played football, even in high school, have brain damage.
unidentified
Right.
brendan schaub
I bet they do compared to people who didn't.
joe rogan
Yeah, not only that, here's the thing that there's things like you can be high-functioning, but you can also have like real impulse problems.
bryan callen
Yeah.
joe rogan
And a lot of those real impulse problems are created by head trauma.
Depression, anger, real lash out, anger issues.
As a matter of fact, one of the things that O.J. Simpson's doctor said, that if they were doing that same trial today when he was tried for murder, they would probably bring up CTE. Yeah.
bryan callen
But here's the question.
If you're going to ban, and it's out there, but if you're going to ban combat sports for kids, you get a lot of benefit from sports that are rough as well, in a way.
In how it builds character, or it's just a sport you might be built for, and you're really good at it.
So if you're built like a Samoan, maybe soccer isn't going to be as good for you as football.
So in a way, you've got to be careful with this stuff.
unidentified
I agree.
brendan schaub
You need some of this stuff.
joe rogan
Well, it's definitely good to toughen people up.
It's definitely, I mean, there's no better avenue to teach people discipline and how to be tough than combat sports.
I think combat sports is, you know, it's the one thing where you have to figure out how to actually get it done.
There's no maybes, there's no close, there's no you either get it done or you don't get it done.
brendan schaub
Very black and white.
ian mccall
No one's helping you?
joe rogan
No one's helping you.
It's a big thing.
By yourself, yeah.
You enter into that ring, he's a referee, and that guy's just there to save your life.
That's it.
And then there's another dude, and he weighs the same as you.
bryan callen
Like Taekwondo.
Guys get knocked out and kicked and stuff, but you get a lot out of getting better at something, especially when the stakes are high.
joe rogan
You certainly do.
But I think that if I had to do it all over again, like if I knew what I knew now, and I went back and I was involved in striking sports, I would be way more careful.
Way more careful about head kicks.
You know, I kind of got lucky and dodged a lot of trauma, but I know a lot of people who didn't.
A lot of kickboxers who just fought for nothing.
I mean, nothing.
brendan schaub
I remember I thought it was cool when they'd go 30 seconds left and the whole gym would turn and watch me and Shane Carwin plant our feet and just slug each other in the head.
And we'd get done, like, high-five.
Then I'd get in my car and throw up.
And Shane would call me and go, dude, I forgot where I was going.
And at the time, we were like, God, see you tomorrow?
See you tomorrow!
Meathead Power!
joe rogan
You know?
Wow!
brendan schaub
Then we'd get in our cars and do it again the next day.
unidentified
Damn!
brendan schaub
I remember playing football in college, and there was a play called 96 Power.
And they'd go, bring in the shob!
Bring in the shob!
I'd come in, and it was me versus this giant linebacker named Brian Ewu, who was a second round or third round draft pick.
A nightmare.
And I'd take a running start, and we'd run into each other.
And everyone would wait and stop.
That was like my thing.
unidentified
Now I think of it, now I think, hey, man!
Hey, man!
brendan schaub
I'm the front guy if it's the Civil War.
I'm the guy in the front, the idiot.
Watch this fucking...
bryan callen
Ewu sounds Samoan.
Was he Samoan?
brendan schaub
No, he's black as night from Houston, Texas.
unidentified
Close, though.
bryan callen
Brian Ewu.
ian mccall
It makes you rethink things you've done, obviously, in your past.
I look at earlier parts of my career, all of my training.
I have a good chin.
Granted, I fight, you know, child-sized grown-ups, but...
You know, when the Lollipop Guild's attacking you, it's not that big of a deal.
unidentified
The mollipop kill.
ian mccall
You learn that...
You got fucking Lineker.
Lineker hits hard.
He hits hard.
joe rogan
He hits fucking hard.
ian mccall
And I remember everything in the ring going wonky, like back and forth.
Fuck, don't attack me right now.
That hurt.
I've been hit a lot.
I put myself in the hospital snowboarding, hitting my head, you know, I've...
I definitely have some brain damage.
brendan schaub
I wouldn't trade it, though.
ian mccall
Yeah, I wouldn't trade it for the world.
brendan schaub
I would train different, though.
ian mccall
Exactly.
joe rogan
You guys are both okay right now.
Like, you're not Muhammad Ali.
You're not Joe Frazier in his later years.
brendan schaub
We'll see in the later years.
joe rogan
Well, I think by the time you get old, they're going to have some shit worked out.
They're going to stick a fucking syringe in your brain, squirt some stem cells in there, and you're going to be good to go.
brendan schaub
I hope so.
joe rogan
I'm pretty sure.
I'm pretty sure.
They're getting real close.
I mean, they're getting real close to re-engineering the entire human frame.
They're getting so close.
Every day, they move one step closer.
Within 20, 30 years, they're going to have some cures for all kinds of shit.
The problem is when you're already, like, at Muhammad Ali's stage or Freddie Roach.
brendan schaub
Game over.
joe rogan
Yeah, Freddie Roach has functional Parkinson's that's from trauma.
And, you know, he's open about it.
bryan callen
He was in wars, man.
He watched his old fights.
God.
brendan schaub
That's why he stops fights sooner now.
joe rogan
Yep.
He's smart about that.
brendan schaub
Because he goes, I wish my coach would have stopped the fight sooner.
joe rogan
Yes.
brendan schaub
So now, what was his last fight with Cody?
He's like, I'm going to stop this.
You got one more ram and I'm going to stop this.
joe rogan
Well, the guy who fought Kovalev, what's his face?
The Canadian guy.
brendan schaub
Oh, Pascal.
joe rogan
Yes, Jean-Pascal, who was just getting boxed up.
brendan schaub
He was doing nothing.
joe rogan
Well, he was getting the fuck beat out of him.
You know, I think the first fight took a shitload out of him, and that's something that people do not want to admit.
When you take the kind of beating that he took in that first fight, and the first fight...
Arguably was called a hair soon, but it's a hair.
I mean, his argument was that it was called too soon.
He's got a great chin.
He shouldn't have been able to fight.
He tagged him a few times.
He could have won that fight.
He did tag him a few times, but he didn't tag him a few times in that second fight.
That second fight was the Kovalev show.
brendan schaub
It wasn't even close.
unidentified
Kovalev's a badass.
brendan schaub
Straight up ass whooping.
joe rogan
He's a bad motherfucker.
He moves like a snake.
He's a murderer.
He hits so hard.
He's in and out.
He's fluid.
And you know what he likes to do for strength and conditioning?
unidentified
Pilates.
brendan schaub
Don't tell me a movement coach.
Oh, gotcha.
joe rogan
Pilates.
He does a lot of Pilates.
ian mccall
All the hot ass in there.
He's trying to sling dick.
brendan schaub
He has a white...
unidentified
If you look at his body, the fact that he hits that hard...
bryan callen
I don't know how he hits that hard.
joe rogan
It's perfect technique.
Long limbs.
brendan schaub
Been doing it forever.
joe rogan
His body is like...
The body is one thing, but the skeleton is the big thing.
Skeleton is a giant part of how a guy can punch.
The size of the hands, the shape of the shoulders, it's a huge, huge factor.
brendan schaub
Which is what makes Conor so good.
Look at Conor's shoulders and hands.
His shoulders are, dude, they're huge, man.
I think he weighed in at 177, 178 right now.
joe rogan
Yeah.
He's cut weight to make 170. How about Chuck Liddell?
bryan callen
Chuck Liddell, he'd get measured and he'd hold his shoulders in, so it said he was 76 inches.
When he's really 79 and he was standing next to you and I was looking at the- Why would he do that?
Because he wanted- he didn't want you to know how long his reach was.
ian mccall
Because he was a dick?
joe rogan
It's obviously as long as fuck.
bryan callen
Yeah, Hackleman would tell him to do that.
unidentified
Really?
bryan callen
So that it says his reach is 76 and if all of a sudden he comes out with 79 inches and he's jabbing you or whatever he's doing.
But you know, I looked at him and how how wide his shoulders were and how big he- he walks around at 230 right now.
joe rogan
Big motherfucker.
He's been talking crazy shit about Jon Jones.
ian mccall
Just wait till he slaps you.
Chuck's big hands reaching across the table and wham!
You're like, what the fuck?
brendan schaub
He thinks he would give Jon Jones trouble right now.
bryan callen
He's a fighter.
ian mccall
He'll do it.
brendan schaub
You want that out of your fighter.
joe rogan
That's this thing in his head.
He still hits the bag and he still has power.
I think his exact words, if I hit him right now, if I put my hands on him, I'd give him trouble.
brendan schaub
Yes, he said his style would give John Fritz.
joe rogan
Yeah, and he said that John wouldn't be able to out-wrestle him, which is like...
It's tough.
brendan schaub
It's tough.
joe rogan
Well, what are you going to say to the guy?
The guy's a fucking legend.
brendan schaub
I can't disrespect the diaspora.
joe rogan
He's retired, and he's been in some crazy-ass wars, and it's over.
brendan schaub
He's earned that right.
joe rogan
It's over.
He's earned the right to talk some shit.
ian mccall
And he can say whatever he wants.
joe rogan
Yeah, he's earned the right to talk some shit.
And, you know, John had to respond a little bit.
brendan schaub
Has to.
joe rogan
But even the way John responded was actually pretty kind.
ian mccall
Yeah.
joe rogan
You know, he said maybe if Chuck fought a little smarter, we'd have protected his chin.
brendan schaub
He also just put, oh, Chuck.
unidentified
Yeah.
Classic.
joe rogan
That fight's going to be fun.
Him and Cormier too?
It's going to be very fun.
ian mccall
Did you see the photoshops?
joe rogan
Yes.
ian mccall
So Tyrone Biggums and then what's his name?
unidentified
So funny.
ian mccall
The cop from...
brendan schaub
Super funny.
joe rogan
From Die Hard?
brendan schaub
No, no, that's from Die Hard.
joe rogan
The TV show.
No, no, that fucking TV show.
Urkel?
Urkel, yeah.
brendan schaub
No, it's the same guy, but that's the cop from Die Hard.
bryan callen
So funny.
joe rogan
We go back and forth with each other.
unidentified
I love it.
bryan callen
What do you guys think of a home tape?
joe rogan
It's a good fight.
It's a different fight.
Holly Holm, first of all, is, she's first of all, without a doubt, the best striker in that fucking division.
No one moons like her.
Her athleticism, her footwork, her kicks, and the way she's conservative with that head kick, too.
She waits until she knows it's time, and then ba-booyah!
brendan schaub
She doesn't waste time on it.
She's not going to just throw it.
It's calculated as fuck.
joe rogan
And when she lands it, that's fucking instep to neck.
So good.
And if you look at her highlight reel, it's all that, you know, in other smaller organizations.
brendan schaub
Outside the UFC, yeah.
joe rogan
But Misha Tate fights with a lot of pressure.
She's tough as shit, and her grappling is really good.
brendan schaub
Super gritty.
joe rogan
Really gritty.
bryan callen
She's got to shoot those singles and doubles.
joe rogan
Well, maybe.
Just close the distance.
But here's one thing she has to do.
She can't run in.
What Rhonda did is play right into the strengths of Holly.
Holly's a fantastic counter-striker.
And Rhonda just wanted to overwhelm her with pressure and power and take her out.
And she got cracked early and often.
And by the end of the first round, she was seeing Tweety Birds and all kinds of shit.
She probably had no idea what the fuck was going on.
Misha's not going to fight like that.
She's just not.
brendan schaub
She can't.
joe rogan
She's going to fight hands up high, and she's going to fight more conservative.
And I keep going to the Raquel Pennington fight, which was Holly's first fight in the UFC, where she won a very close split decision.
And this is not taking anything away from Raquel, because Raquel is a badass bitch.
All due respect to Raquel.
brendan schaub
UFC jitters, son.
joe rogan
Yeah, UFC jitters are a big factor.
I think that probably played a big factor.
But also, Raquel's just real tough and real smart and, you know, didn't rush in.
I think the rushing in factor was a big part of that fight.
Ronda just charging straight forward like a fucking wild animal, and then Holly moving and cracking her.
brendan schaub
It's the worst thing you can do.
And with a technician, what do you do?
You make it a freaking gritty fight.
That's what Misha does best.
bryan callen
Well, she's got a clincher, and I don't know if she's going to win that clinch.
For her to shoot a double or a single, from that distance, she's going to get sprawled on.
brendan schaub
People have done it before, though, B. No one's taking Holly down in the UFC. No one's taking her down, but you look at previous three fights in the UFC, people can get her to the cage.
bryan callen
Sure, but then you got her in a clinch, and I think Holly's stronger than Misha.
I mean, it's going to be tough for her.
ian mccall
I don't know about the wrestling aspect stronger.
I mean, she hits harder, but Misha's a tank.
joe rogan
Well, I'll tell you, my friend Justin, Justin Milos, who's a brown belt, you know, a Division I wrestler, serious fucking athlete.
He said that Holly feels like a dude.
unidentified
Mm-hmm.
joe rogan
He said he's rolled with both of them.
He both rolled with Holly and with Ronda.
And he's like, there's no comparison.
He's like, Holly is strong as fuck.
bryan callen
You can see it.
joe rogan
He's like, she's really strong.
brendan schaub
I think Holly wins.
I just think it's a different fight.
It's a tougher fight for Holly.
It's a different puzzle to figure out.
It's all about matchups.
I don't think that she gets destroyed like Ronda did.
I don't think she gets outclassed like Ronda did.
I think it's a closer fight, but Holly still comes out on top.
joe rogan
Well, you know, the other thing is that Holly went through a camp for Ronda, like no camp she ever went through before.
And she said she trained so fucking hard for that, and you see the results of that.
I think she's going to do the exact same thing for this camp.
So if she goes into this fight with that same kind of training camp behind her, and is just in fucking phenomenal shape, like she was for the Ronda Rousey fight, she might box the shit out of me.
brendan schaub
There's more pressure on Holly now.
Because we expect her to be, you know, she's this, it's not a one-time thing.
She wasn't a one-trick pony.
She wasn't just a flash in the pan.
I think for her, there's more pressure to perform now.
Because with Ronda, she's such a big underdog, he's like, ah, she doesn't get murked.
Beats the fuck out of her.
Now we're like, damn, Holly's for reals.
Now there's pressure on her.
Maybe.
unidentified
Maybe.
ian mccall
But she's had that pressure for her.
bryan callen
Yeah, she's a 19-time.
brendan schaub
Not like this, my man.
bryan callen
What about this?
brendan schaub
Women's boxing?
When's the last time you watched it?
Exactly.
joe rogan
It's in a high school auditorium.
bryan callen
It's still a big deal for her, though.
She's still there.
brendan schaub
It's not the same, brother.
It's that you're not doing press conference.
You're not the champ.
You don't have everyone gunning for you.
unidentified
Holly's ready.
bryan callen
Holly's ready for this.
joe rogan
But another thing that's taking pressure off her is that most people are paying attention to Conor.
For this fight, they're talking to her a little bit.
unidentified
100%.
joe rogan
This is the Conor McGregor show.
bryan callen
Let me ask you guys this question.
brendan schaub
The rest of the card, what?
joe rogan
Yeah.
bryan callen
This is a weird question.
joe rogan
Meanwhile, there's good fights.
We'll pull up the card.
There's good fights.
This is a great card.
It's not just a good card for those two fights.
brendan schaub
It's the Conor show, though.
joe rogan
It's the Conor show, but let's pull up this card, Jamie.
There's a fucking bunch of good fights on this card.
bryan callen
Dude, look at me.
joe rogan
You know, here's one that everyone's sleeping on.
Amanda Nunez.
That is the dark horse of the division, friends.
She's so tough.
I think Amanda Nunez is a fucking knockout machine.
She is tough as fuck.
bryan callen
Great striking.
joe rogan
And she's taking on this Valentina Shevchenko chick who is tough as fuck, too, and a multiple-time world Muay Thai champion.
brendan schaub
That's a tough fight for her.
Let's calm down on that posture, though, huh, Valentina?
joe rogan
No, she's rushing, bro.
brendan schaub
That's true.
Proud and proud.
bryan callen
Amanda Nunez is so athletic and her striking is amazing.
unidentified
She's badass.
joe rogan
She hits fucking hard.
I watched that Sarah McMahon fight again.
She's got a piston of a right hand.
She might be the biggest one-punch striker in that division.
She's tough as fuck.
But, you know, you look at her and then you look at the entire division.
I think this fight is a big fight for her because Valentina, she also went through her UFC jitters.
She was like real stiff and awkward and she was telling herself that in between rounds in her first fight.
I don't think she's going to be like that coming into this fight.
brendan schaub
She still looked good.
Your strike can look good.
joe rogan
Here's another fight everybody's sleeping on.
Your boy Brandon Thatch and Bahur Durzada.
brendan schaub
That's a good fight.
I think loser gets its walking papers.
joe rogan
You think so?
I wouldn't give either one of these guys their walking papers.
brendan schaub
You're not Joe Silva, sir.
ian mccall
They're both exciting to watch.
joe rogan
Fuck yeah.
These are great fighters, man.
brendan schaub
I agree.
joe rogan
C.R. Barradezada?
brendan schaub
Yeah, so he hasn't fought in almost two years.
He's had some time off.
He got hurt.
joe rogan
What happened to him?
brendan schaub
I'm not sure.
I know he got hurt.
And then Thatch has lost two in a row, but they're two short notice fights.
He had a change in Gunnar Nelson, and they had to fight Ben Henderson.
joe rogan
Yeah, well, he got clipped in the Nelson fight.
Gunnar surprised him with that left hook.
That was a big punch, and then submitted him.
That was a big fight.
brendan schaub
For Thatch, though, man.
I'm telling you, if people could see him in the gym, it's like, dude, what the fuck?
joe rogan
Is he too big?
ian mccall
Harry's incredible.
brendan schaub
He's not too big.
It's always been a discipline issue for him, and it's always been, is he in the fight?
Because in the UFC, you can't, man.
You just can't have a night off and beat Gunnar Nelson.
You can't not be focused and be in a striking range of a top 10 or top 15 guy and not get knocked out.
joe rogan
But in losing all that weight to get down to 170, what does he walk around at?
brendan schaub
He's at 190. That's it?
Yeah, but shredded.
joe rogan
He looks so big.
brendan schaub
I know.
Shredded.
joe rogan
He looks like he's a light heavyweight.
brendan schaub
He's tall, but he's thin.
But he's a lot of muscle.
joe rogan
Yeah, because I look at him and he looks to me almost like a light heavyweight.
brendan schaub
He's a big boy.
185. I'm telling you, he's not a light heavyweight.
joe rogan
No, I believe you.
brendan schaub
Yeah.
joe rogan
Well, obviously, he's fighting at 170. He makes the weight.
brendan schaub
Yeah, but you never know.
bryan callen
Some guys are killing themselves.
The two times I've seen a fight, he does seem so relaxed before the fight.
Like, it might be the way he deals with nerves, but he's almost like talking to people, and he looks way more casual than most fighters.
joe rogan
Holy shit, go back to that.
Early prelims.
Look at this, early prelims.
brendan schaub
His dad's a badass.
joe rogan
Jim Miller and Diego fucking Sanchez.
I know, son.
ian mccall
That's going to be a war.
bryan callen
How is that a prelim fight, by the way?
joe rogan
That's early prelims.
ian mccall
That's fight pass, bro.
brendan schaub
UFC pass ratings, son.
joe rogan
How is that?
brendan schaub
Trying to get that UFC pass up.
joe rogan
Trying to get everybody to buy UFC fight pass.
And Diego Sanchez versus Jim Miller is a great way to get that done.
brendan schaub
Might do it.
joe rogan
That's third fight of the night, folks.
bryan callen
Grind.
joe rogan
Ooh, Diego Sanchez is such a fucking barbarian.
If that guy was put on this earth, he'd do one thing.
It's go to war.
That's true.
He is such an animal.
brendan schaub
Dude, don't sleep on Eric Silva and Talib.
joe rogan
Exactly.
That's another good fight.
That's a very good—Nordine Talib's a bad motherfucker.
brendan schaub
First team all body, Eric Silva fell off.
joe rogan
Well, yeah, he— Talib took his spot.
bryan callen
His body's changed a little bit.
joe rogan
A little?
bryan callen
Well, I don't want to talk about it, but he did lose his apple bottom, and he doesn't seem quite as shredded.
joe rogan
I wonder if he would pass the smell test.
Yeah, he was a shredded animal before.
ian mccall
He was freaky looking.
joe rogan
Yeah, at one point in time, he was ridiculously shredded.
bryan callen
Probably a lot of flies.
joe rogan
I don't think so, dude.
I think he was...
bryan callen
I don't know what you're talking about.
He ate 20 pounds of red meat a day, and he realized it was clogging his colon.
joe rogan
He lives in a country where you can just get that stuff.
bryan callen
Sure.
A lot of meat.
joe rogan
There's a lot of cattle.
Vitamins and minerals.
bryan callen
Acai, when you eat a lot of acai and a lot of beef.
joe rogan
It's interesting watching all this happen though, isn't it?
Watching guys' bodies change, watching their performances change.
bryan callen
I like it because it doesn't make me feel as bad about my body.
joe rogan
I like the word as.
unidentified
As?
Yeah, like you're still comparing to UFC fighters?
bryan callen
As, not as bad.
How about the obliques on Talib?
joe rogan
He's a stud.
Super stud, yeah.
bryan callen
Congratulations on your...
unidentified
Strong motherfucker too.
bryan callen
Calvin Klein obliques.
joe rogan
Strong motherfucker.
That guy is an animal.
bryan callen
The Schaub haircut?
unidentified
He's down.
ian mccall
But he's from France.
I don't know if I can...
joe rogan
Can't get behind French people?
unidentified
How dare you.
bryan callen
He's probably Arabic.
ian mccall
Chex my boy.
bryan callen
He's Arabic who Who was raised in France.
ian mccall
I'm just saying obnoxious shit.
Now you got to bring out my friends.
I don't know, man.
joe rogan
Who is that guy that George St. Pierre brought in with him to train?
brendan schaub
Oh, he's drunk smoking cigarettes?
joe rogan
Yeah, the French Muay Thai guy who's a bad motherfucker.
Jean something or another.
I forget his name.
brendan schaub
I forget him too, but on The Ultimate Fighter, George told everyone, man, if you're smart with this guy, don't fucking hit him hard, man, because you piss him off, you're going to be in trouble.
joe rogan
Yeah, be nice.
Meanwhile, he has the ultimate dad bod.
That guy's body.
brendan schaub
That ain't a dad bod.
bryan callen
You can't call that dad bod.
brendan schaub
He looks like Yellow Bastard.
He looks like Yellow Bastard from Sin City.
No, there's nothing.
bryan callen
Who is this?
Who?
joe rogan
This Muay Thai champion that George St. Pierre brought in.
bryan callen
Oh, that guy with a belly.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Drinks, smokes nonstop.
joe rogan
I forget his name, man.
bryan callen
He was kicking the shite out of everybody.
unidentified
He knocked some dude down.
bryan callen
He smelled like booze.
He'd come in drunk.
joe rogan
Oh, yeah.
He would come in drunk.
Like...
Up all night, partying, going to, like a Thai fighter.
brendan schaub
Or the Dutch.
joe rogan
Or the Dutch.
Or French, apparently, too.
Just all night in Vegas, going to parties, having a good time.
brendan schaub
And then fucking these young, tough kids up during the day.
joe rogan
You know what, man?
All that crazy behavior that these guys used to engage in, you know.
bryan callen
Can't get away with it.
joe rogan
Too many cell phones these days.
Like, if these guys are trying to do that today, trying to go out and get crazy today.
brendan schaub
Look at Johnny Manziel.
The football player, he was the Heisman winner.
First round draft pick.
The dude likes to party.
He likes to party so much.
Cleveland Brown's like, yo, if you party, man, we're going to cut you.
This fucking guy goes to Vegas under a hidden name and wears a wig and a mustache.
But he looks like...
Everyone's like, oh, it's Johnny Manziel.
joe rogan
No.
brendan schaub
And then it goes online in Cleveland Browns.
He's going to get cut.
joe rogan
That ain't me.
That's a dude with a mustache.
That ain't me.
I'm telling you.
ian mccall
I ain't Johnny Manziel.
joe rogan
He partied with a wig.
Is this the guy?
brendan schaub
That's him.
He was a stud in high school.
joe rogan
Charlie Football reportedly partied in a blonde wig, fake mustache and glasses.
How can they tell you you can't party?
This is what they can tell you.
Your performance was unsatisfactory.
You're cut.
That's what they can tell you.
They can't tell you you can't go have a good time.
brendan schaub
This is the prom, Joe.
joe rogan
What?
brendan schaub
He's partying every fucking night.
joe rogan
What if he's drinking water?
What if he just likes to dance?
Is this part of his cardio?
brendan schaub
No, he's actually an alcoholic.
He's been in and out of rehab.
joe rogan
He's got a movement coach, and his movement coach wants him to fucking...
brendan schaub
Now you're talking.
joe rogan
...two-step on the dance floor.
Now you're talking.
bryan callen
That's what he's missing.
joe rogan
You fucking movement coach trolled the other day on Twitter.
I was howling.
What did you say?
What was your exact quote?
You believe in...
brendan schaub
I said, if you think Anderson Silva's going to beat Michael Bisping in a decision in the UK, then you obviously believe in dragons and movement coaches.
bryan callen
People got mad at you because they were like, Dragons existed, dude, there's plenty of evidence.
joe rogan
No, they got mad at the movement coach thing.
brendan schaub
They think I'm hating on Conor, I'm not at all.
Or Port, what's his name?
bryan callen
Ido Portal.
brendan schaub
I'm not at all.
Not at all.
ian mccall
Conor's fans are the most fucking easily butthurt people ever.
I talk so much shit on everybody else, Ronda, all this stuff, and I get some stuff.
All I said about Conor, I said, hey, guess what?
Frankie Edgar's coming for you.
He didn't say anything, of course.
I had so many asshole fans.
I don't know what country they were from or what.
brendan schaub
Probably Ireland, buddy.
ian mccall
Fuck you, you piece of shit!
Bow to the king!
You need to fucking kiss the ring!
joe rogan
They say fuck with two O's.
brendan schaub
Fuck you!
ian mccall
I've never had such an onslaught of just shit-talking because I said that you have a fight coming.
joe rogan
There's an identity thing going on there.
They're identifying with this guy in a way that...
You know, you remember when you were a kid, and I don't know how it was with you, but when I was a kid, I would identify with a fighter.
And if that fighter lost, I was devastated.
And I remember the day I let it go.
Donald Curry fought Mike McCallum.
And I was a giant Donald Curry fan.
Man, I love Donald Curry.
And Mike McCallum hit him with a left hook to the body and then a left hook up top and shut the lights out.
And he went fucking flat backwards, arms over the top of his head.
And I went, fuck!
And I put on my running shoes, and I went out running.
And I ran a couple miles, and I remember when I came back home, I said, I am never getting upset over some fucking dude I don't even know losing ever again.
brendan schaub
Damn.
joe rogan
I'm just gonna enjoy the fights.
So to this day, when I call fights, unless it's like, you fucking...
Guys, luckily you're not doing it anymore.
But you, when you fucking fight.
Or someone I care about, it's hard.
You know, because I try not to be...
But when I watch...
If I watch Anderson and Bisping, I want to watch a fight.
I want to see what happens.
I don't have a dog in the race.
I want to see...
And if Anderson knocks him out, or if Bisping knocks him out...
brendan schaub
You don't care.
joe rogan
I like the performance.
I like watching a performance.
brendan schaub
Yes.
joe rogan
It changed for me at that day.
That's so interesting.
brendan schaub
I remember mine was...
joe rogan
I was mad at myself.
brendan schaub
My brother was...
We weren't into fighting.
I thought Jean-Claude Van Damme was the man.
I thought that shit was real.
ian mccall
He is and was.
brendan schaub
He still is.
But for me, it was...
bryan callen
He is and was.
brendan schaub
Mine was...
Mine was Magic Johnson.
My brother was Michael Jordan.
When Magic Johnson got AIDS, I started crying.
And my mom had to explain AIDS to me.
I was young, man.
Me and my brother both bawling, man.
bryan callen
But guys like that don't just represent...
Conor McGregor doesn't just represent himself.
Conor McGregor represents a couple of things.
One is possibility, like self-belief, and the idea, the gall to say that I'm going to be a champion, coming out of nowhere and do it.
But also, like, you have to look at where, like, Ireland, they did a really interesting thing about, during the financial crisis, like, with the Greeks and people, like, taking to the streets and, you know, freaking out.
The Irish are quiet sufferers.
The Irish are very stoic people.
They don't show off.
They don't make a big deal about their own issues and pain.
It's very un-Irish.
You get a guy like Conor McGregor all of a sudden to come, and they've had the shit end of the stick.
For a lot of their history.
And so when you get a guy like Conor McGregor to come along and go, hey, by the way, I'm going to beat everybody and I'm fucking Irish.
So I'm taking over.
For the first time in a long time, the Irish are like, holy fuck, this guy is speaking for us and, by the way, unifying us.
That's a big...
Historically...
He's actually, in a lot of ways...
I'm probably going to get shit for this.
He's like Jesus.
He's historically significant to the Irish and the Irish character.
unidentified
He kind of is.
joe rogan
You're not going to get shit for that at all.
I think you're entirely right.
brendan schaub
That's true.
I agree.
bryan callen
There's a reason it's so loud in Boston and stuff.
Preach, son.
unidentified
Preach!
bryan callen
Because he is.
He's the guy who said, hey, it's our turn.
And who says we have to be quiet and keep our heads down?
joe rogan
This is the real shit.
That's the real Steve.
brendan schaub
It's about goddamn time.
ian mccall
When I went to Ireland to fight, and this was Conor's, what, second, third fight in the UFC? Yeah, I think it was second.
You know, people knew who he was.
joe rogan
Third.
ian mccall
They obviously, they had this show, he's headlining.
I get there, wander around, get in a cab.
unidentified
Oh.
ian mccall
Oh, you're fighting?
Okay, are you here for Connor?
Like...
Uh, sure, yeah, I'm fucking here for Connor.
Who are you fighting?
I'm like, okay, wait for it.
I'm fighting an Englishman.
Fuck him!
Hope he dies!
bryan callen
That's right.
ian mccall
I'm like, yeah, and I'm fucking, you know, what's your name?
Ian McCall.
Oh, you're a good Irish boy.
I'm like, I'm not, but sure, okay.
unidentified
Definitely not.
ian mccall
And they...
They thought I was a fucking leprechaun or something.
joe rogan
Oh, Ian McCall!
ian mccall
A leprechaun!
bryan callen
What part of Ireland are you from?
joe rogan
Lebanon!
unidentified
And this was just before he was a big, big thing.
ian mccall
They were already fucking behind him so much, and now he is who he is.
Like you said, he is a...
brendan schaub
He's changing the game.
ian mccall
Yeah, completely.
joe rogan
His second fight in the UFC, I believe, was in Boston.
I think it was his second fight.
And was his second fight Max Holloway?
Which is the second fight?
ian mccall
No.
unidentified
Yes.
ian mccall
No, the first fight was Brimage, maybe?
unidentified
Right.
joe rogan
The first fight was Brimage.
Whatever the fight was that I called, I don't believe I called this first fight.
I think I called the second fight.
But I remember being there going, this is nuts, man.
This guy is on the undercard.
He's on the undercard.
bryan callen
So loud.
joe rogan
And they're going fucking crazy.
And I think it's because also Boston is a giant Irish community, right?
But there was just something about this guy.
I was like, this is nuts.
The momentum had already started way more than anybody I'd ever seen fighting on the undercard.
But another thing that's going on with Connor is that everybody knows the stakes are much higher because of the shit-talking he does.
See, all this shit-talking is fantastic when you pull it off, but everybody knows that if he doesn't pull it off, if Nate fucking sleeps him, if Nate connects with a straight left-right hook and we see the fucking chicken dance out of Connor...
ian mccall
It ain't cute anymore.
joe rogan
Not always is it not cute, but you better stay offline for a couple weeks.
brendan schaub
Stay offline!
joe rogan
Oh my god!
bryan callen
That's what I mean!
joe rogan
He's got guts!
I know you and Rhonda aren't close anymore, you don't talk to her, but I couldn't imagine, just what I saw when I was online, the barrage of hate.
I got hate for Rhonda, for telling people that she was great, for expressing my, being impressed with her performances.
The amount of hate she got was a wave.
Just a wave.
Just a fucking...
bryan callen
But it might be different, though, because Rhonda was such a...
She was not a very gracious winner.
You know, if you look at her when she's climbing rocks in that competition in the Ultimate Fighter, and she's giving Misha the finger, it was so aggressive.
And then to not shake her hand, and then to say what she said about Holly, about being a fake-ass preacher's daughter and stuff, that kind of stuff wasn't witty.
It was just a lot of venom.
brendan schaub
It's very hurtful.
Where people don't like it, man.
Because then you're being a bully.
bryan callen
You're being a bully.
joe rogan
It's fear.
People know that when she was doing that with Holly, there was a fear.
And she was trying to put that fear into Holly.
And the worst thing in the world is Holly just standing out there.
brendan schaub
Holly said, huh?
joe rogan
Dead-faced.
Drinking her water.
She didn't even pulse at me.
brendan schaub
Oh, that's cute.
This judoka's going to try and strike with me.
I'm going to kick you in the face, bitch.
I like that you use the word judoka.
bryan callen
Here's a question to you guys who are fighters.
What about this idea?
What if Misha Tate crawled on a three-point stance, literally crawled toward Holly Holm because she couldn't get kicked.
joe rogan
Jon Jones style?
bryan callen
Right, and just grabbed her ankle-picked, single-double.
joe rogan
She won't be there.
brendan schaub
She's going to punch her in the face.
She's going to punch her in the face like this.
joe rogan
She's going to kick her arms.
bryan callen
Oh, my God.
That's not a viable...
joe rogan
She can't, though.
brendan schaub
You can kick those arms.
joe rogan
Oh, she can, actually.
Kick the shit out of those arms.
Let me tell you something, dude.
If you're on all fours and someone kicks your arms, that is horrific.
brendan schaub
Then your dumb ass has to get up and fight with one arm.
bryan callen
Forget it, guys.
unidentified
Sorry.
bryan callen
That's my strategy.
Hold on.
unidentified
Misha, don't do that.
bryan callen
She's probably listening.
Misha, don't do that.
brendan schaub
It's a bad idea.
joe rogan
What if Misha climbed on top of the octagon and leaped to the center of the...
brendan schaub
What if Misha has a knife, guys?
You ever thought about that?
Well, you can't do that.
joe rogan
What if Misha knows ninjutsu?
bryan callen
Right.
What if she used sleeping dust?
joe rogan
Yeah, there's not a whole lot of things that haven't been tried.
brendan schaub
Hey, what if Misha won and Conor got knocked down in like 15 seconds?
unidentified
Whoa.
brendan schaub
Does Dana shed a tear?
joe rogan
No!
brendan schaub
Just keep on trucking?
joe rogan
Fuck yeah!
Keep on trucking.
Conor's still the fucking featherweight champion.
brendan schaub
Not the same.
You're batshit crazy if you think that aura is still there.
joe rogan
No, not the same.
But, look, the Irish people are still going to support him.
100%.
brendan schaub
He's fighting at 70. I agree, Joe, but it's not the same.
bryan callen
Fighting at 70. That aura is gone.
joe rogan
If he can win a rematch.
He's lost before.
He lost to Joe Duffy.
brendan schaub
Not in the UFC. We've never seen him.
ian mccall
And he lost to a 25-er.
unidentified
He did?
ian mccall
That little Russian guy who leg-locked him was a 25-er.
brendan schaub
Really?
You're living in the past, though.
I'm talking now they just make a superstar.
joe rogan
He's a 25-er?
Really?
unidentified
Wow.
Wow.
ian mccall
It was a long time ago.
It doesn't matter.
joe rogan
There's 25ers that can submit me.
You know, get a hold of my shit.
brendan schaub
You and me both.
Get a hold of my legs.
See ya.
joe rogan
If you tap, you know.
You know, there's guys that, like, it doesn't matter.
If they get you in certain positions, there's certain positions that some guys have, they catch you in it, like, Ronnie Yaya.
ian mccall
Oh, man.
joe rogan
That guy gets a hold of your foot.
He's a tiny little dude.
He's also an ultimate dad bod guy.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Tiny little dude.
A team constrictor, you know, that's what they call themselves.
That is an apt name.
Because if that motherfucker gets a hold of your neck, man, you got some fucking problems, lad.
brendan schaub
Paul Harris in your ankle.
joe rogan
Speak for yourself.
Yeah.
Well, you know, Paul Harris versus Gary Tonin in that submission-only match at Polaris.
brendan schaub
Gary Tonin, that motherfucker.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
He's crazy.
I hope he's getting paid well for that.
joe rogan
Gary Tonin is the favorite in that fight.
bryan callen
Isn't Kerry Tone the guy who beat everybody at the Eddie Bravo?
joe rogan
He's the favorite.
He's the favorite there.
bryan callen
He's going to wrestle with Paul Harris.
brendan schaub
Don't say wrestle.
bryan callen
I mean, he's going to grapple with them.
joe rogan
Yeah, a submission grappling match.
I don't know if they have a weight limitation, which could be a giant issue, because Paul Harris gets way up into the 200s before he fights.
He fought at 185. It's the first fight in the UFC. Are they going to test him?
bryan callen
What?
joe rogan
They're going to make sure he's on steroids.
brendan schaub
Jiu-jitsu don't have time for that bullshit.
joe rogan
Time for testing.
They want you to be on steroids.
bryan callen
I want to quit everything.
I want to do steroids and I want to do jiu-jitsu all day and be 55. First of all, how about first take a class?
brendan schaub
No, just get on steroids and start entering competitions.
ian mccall
Just squeeze people.
bryan callen
That's what I'm going to do.
I'm going to lose gracefully.
brendan schaub
Hey, at the on it thing, just jump on the mat.
joe rogan
We got a super match.
brendan schaub
Brian the Kid Callen.
joe rogan
Fucking loose pajamas that come off in the middle of rolling.
unidentified
Exactly.
joe rogan
Hold on, guys, guys, guys.
Time, time, time.
bryan callen
Time out, guys.
joe rogan
Your hogs fucking wipe it all over the mat.
brendan schaub
Do you see that happen to a combine guy?
We talked a little bit about it.
joe rogan
His dick came out.
brendan schaub
You know the combine, right?
They're in tights.
bryan callen
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Giant black guy.
unidentified
Douche!
brendan schaub
Run the 40!
Fat-ass pterodactyl dick comes out the front.
Then he fucking falls and eats shit on the turf.
It was a three-piece set.
joe rogan
And look at this girl who's talking about it.
bryan callen
Crystal, watch this, watch this.
He's a stud.
joe rogan
She's getting very excited about this guy's hog.
bryan callen
But he's got a piece on him.
brendan schaub
Oh, they blurred it out!
How dare you, Crystal?
joe rogan
They blurted it out.
You gotta find the real deal out there, young Jamie.
ian mccall
It's on the floor.
brendan schaub
Dude, it looks like a pterodactyl going down for prey.
It's all black.
bryan callen
Or taking us.
joe rogan
No, no, no.
ian mccall
It's like this.
unidentified
It looks like he conjured a spirit out of the ground.
brendan schaub
Now fuck that.
It's like on Jurassic Park where the pterodactyls are taking people.
unidentified
Oh, here he goes.
joe rogan
Go full screen, son.
Let's see this.
brendan schaub
Let's get this in our face.
It comes out right here, right?
unidentified
Oh!
joe rogan
He's looking at his own dick.
He's like, no, oh shit, my shit.
brendan schaub
He got that turf dick because he scraped that chocolate dick on that turf.
You'll see.
joe rogan
Did they let him do it again?
bryan callen
I hope so.
ian mccall
Here, hold this.
joe rogan
Look at how they show it.
He's like, uh-oh, uh-oh.
unidentified
Watch this right here.
joe rogan
What a hug on this young man.
unidentified
Yes, son.
brendan schaub
Chris Jones back in the heat.
joe rogan
Do you know how many Instagram fucking pussy pictures he must have gotten?
How many girls just sent him photos?
brendan schaub
Ass pics slid into his DMs?
joe rogan
Face down.
Ass up.
ian mccall
Oh, you're that guy.
joe rogan
Let's make this happen.
ian mccall
You're the dick turf guy.
joe rogan
Let's make this happen, dick turf guy.
brendan schaub
Before you run that comment, like, what's the worst that can happen?
I don't know.
It's not like your dick's gonna come out or anything.
Good point.
unidentified
I'll go run.
joe rogan
The sheer volume of cock when he was getting up that you see.
The mass.
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Can you imagine?
I don't know if you guys ever had turf burn on your dick?
ian mccall
Are you kidding me?
bryan callen
Heard a turf toe, but not a turf dick.
joe rogan
Why did he choose to fall dick first like that?
brendan schaub
I don't think he meant to.
joe rogan
For sure roll, though.
I definitely think he fell forward to cover his dick.
bryan callen
Probably.
ian mccall
He knew if it came out of his shorts, it was going to the ground.
joe rogan
Why don't you just let everybody see his dick?
If I had a dick like that, I'd be fucking ripping my pants every day.
bryan callen
I'd be fine.
brendan schaub
He falls down, he gets up, he tells the coach, he goes, my dick fell out.
joe rogan
Oh shit.
Here it is.
Watch the get up.
brendan schaub
Freeze frame on this pterodactyl jamie.
joe rogan
We went right to count.
unidentified
Boom!
bryan callen
What in the fuck?
joe rogan
That's the problem.
That dude needs one of them diamond cups just to contain that.
brendan schaub
I don't see a problem with it.
joe rogan
There's no problem.
ian mccall
Or a fucking sleeping bag.
brendan schaub
He tells the coach, he goes, damn, my dick fell out.
joe rogan
I'll tell you what, that's just reinforcing stereotypes.
brendan schaub
I wasn't surprised.
I wasn't like, oh my god, he has a giant dick.
I'm like, yeah, that's about right.
bryan callen
I didn't miss a beat.
brendan schaub
I was like, oh, that's cool.
joe rogan
That's one of those stereotypes that people don't have a problem with.
brendan schaub
If that was a white guy, I'd be like, oh shit, I would have jumped out of my fucking seat like Showtime kicked someone in the face off the cage.
unidentified
The Polish guy with a fat white dick.
Fat, angry, snorting smoke.
joe rogan
Like a dragon in his pants.
Like a dragon.
Big, fat, pale, white, blue-veined dick.
You know what makes me laugh right now?
brendan schaub
You know what cracks me up right now?
Someone's listening to the show going, I thought it was a breakdown in the fights.
ian mccall
They've just been talking about dick girls.
brendan schaub
They're talking about a dragon in this guy's pants.
joe rogan
That's how it goes, folks.
That's what's really funny when people get angry at this podcast.
They get angry.
They're angry at some of the shit that we say.
What do you say when you're with your friends and you're drinking?
What do you say?
brendan schaub
Talk about dicks 90% of the time.
joe rogan
People get so angry at that Dada 5000 thing.
Because they got so angry that I mentioned fried chicken.
brendan schaub
Don't be mad at us.
unidentified
Be mad he died fighting MMA. But here's the thing that's crazy.
joe rogan
They were upset at me that I mentioned fried chicken because they said that's racist.
But they weren't upset that we're making fun of a guy who is still in the hospital.
Like, this is how crazy people's priorities are.
That, first of all, fried chicken is not racist.
unidentified
It's delicious.
brendan schaub
I love fried chicken.
joe rogan
It is a great food.
It's delicious.
It's fatty for you.
It's not necessarily the best food for you, but that's not racist.
What racist is, is claiming or pretending that one race is superior to another race.
That's not what fried chicken is.
Fried chicken is just food.
brendan schaub
And it was an example of a bad diet while he's overweight and cutting all this weight and look like shit fighting.
joe rogan
There's so many people that are looking forward to being angry so quick.
brendan schaub
They need a reason.
joe rogan
They're just looking forward to being upset.
If I was fat and someone was saying, you meatball-eating motherfucker, I'd be like, yeah, I like meatballs.
Is that so bad because I'm Italian?
bryan callen
You're genuinely not...
I remember one time, I actually remember asking you this, so interesting, because you came from Boston, kind of working class, kind of rough, and I never heard, and I'd known you for probably three years, this is way back, and I remember, I said, I'd never heard you say, you say bad things about people, but I never heard you once.
brendan schaub
You're fucking mean, but you're not racist.
bryan callen
Basically, he's a ball of hate, but I never heard you say anything off-color, not once.
I never heard you say a prejudiced thing in any way.
And I remember saying to you, I go, you know, you never, I've never heard you make an off-color joke about any race, black people, anything else.
And you said it never made any sense to me.
You said, I can show you a whole lot of really dumb white people where I grew up.
It's all about socialization.
I don't know if you remember that.
I don't, but that's how I feel.
It never made sense.
joe rogan
It's culture.
brendan schaub
I think it's obvious, though.
And with Dada, if Dada was white and you went, ah, fucking fried chicken, Pepsi drinking, no one's going to say shit.
joe rogan
This is how I feel about the Dada thing.
What I do feel bad about is that the guy's still in the hospital.
brendan schaub
That sucks.
Don't want anything bad to happen to him.
joe rogan
I don't want anything bad to happen to him.
I'm glad he's okay.
And genuinely, all we were doing was joking around and having fun, because that's what we do.
And if people construed that as racism, because I mentioned chicken, please substitute it for pizza.
That's what I meant.
unidentified
Whatever you want.
joe rogan
My intent is what's important.
People are like, you were trying to be funny by saying fried chicken.
Yes, I was.
Yes.
But I don't think that's racist.
I don't.
I don't.
It's food.
brendan schaub
And it's funny.
That whole situation, you know how when you do something crazy and people go, but did you die?
Yeah, bitch.
Dada died.
Dada died.
joe rogan
Well, his heart stopped.
Is that what happened?
Here's the thing, man.
brendan schaub
Yeah, man.
joe rogan
And everyone's saying that we shouldn't have been making fun of his weight and his family was saying that he was only two or three pounds over the week of the fight.
Well then, there's even less excuses.
Because if you're that much, if you're only two or three pounds, you're only cutting two or three pounds away to fight, he's just unprepared.
Whoever did it, they were upset at us that we were making fun of his MMA training or strength and conditioning coach.
But this is based on the performance.
Look, we have to.
This is a co-main event, and there's something...
Bigger at stake.
Like, all due respect to Dada, this is my feelings on the Dada thing.
Here's the good thing.
Here's a compliment that I will give him.
That guy never quit.
His fucking heart had to give out.
That guy never quit.
He didn't have any endurance, but he still fought three fucking hard rounds, and he had nothing in the tank.
But he never quit.
There's a lot of opportunities for him to stay down.
He never quit.
He showed a lot of heart.
brendan schaub
I like the way you think, Joe.
joe rogan
But he wasn't trained properly.
He wasn't prepared properly.
brendan schaub
He doesn't have the skill set.
joe rogan
He wasn't ready.
brendan schaub
No.
unidentified
That's right.
brendan schaub
And if you walk into that magnitude of a fight and you have titties hanging, I'm gonna make a comment.
joe rogan
But I make a comment like that about Roy Nelson, too, all the time.
I do it about Roy Nelson all the time.
I've always said that Roy Nelson's gut is like he's wearing like 30 sweaters and that it's all like you're hitting cheeseburgers.
You're not even hitting him.
You're hitting all this shit that he needs.
You know, that's okay because I'm white and Roy's white, but those fights are not good for the sport.
And this is why they're not good for the sport.
You're taking two guys that look bad.
Their endurance and conditioning was terrible.
The scrambles were awful.
Like when one time Kimbo took him down and just got on top of him and they're just laying on top of each other.
brendan schaub
Very amateur.
joe rogan
It's just so, it's so bush leagues that there's no way that anybody who watches that, like say if you're a boxing fan and you watch like, did you see Terrence Crawford the other night?
brendan schaub
That motherfucker.
ian mccall
Amazing.
brendan schaub
Good luck beating that dude.
joe rogan
God damn he's good.
brendan schaub
He murked that dude.
joe rogan
He's so good.
And you know what man, his switch, he'll fight you orthodox.
brendan schaub
There's no one better.
joe rogan
And then he'll switch southpaw.
I mean it's like Marvin Hagler almost.
Like that level of switch.
His ability to fight from either stance.
brendan schaub
He just needs a big Like a mainstream fight.
joe rogan
Yeah, so if you're a boxing fan and you watch that fight and then you say, well, let me check out what this MMA shit's all about and then you go and watch the Kimbo Dada fight.
brendan schaub
You're going to throw up.
You're going to throw up.
joe rogan
Like, this is an embarrassment to the sport.
And this is not...
A mark against them as human beings.
This is just where they are now.
Everybody starts off.
Look, the first day you enter into any sort of an MMA gym or dojo, whatever, we all start out as someone who doesn't know anything.
We all start out with whatever strength and conditioning you've gotten coming in.
If you're a gymnast or whatever, you bring whatever base you have.
But we all start out not knowing anything.
Once you get to a co-main event, I demand that you are better than that.
It's that simple.
I demand it.
I agree.
brendan schaub
Especially 2016. Fuck you, man.
joe rogan
This is where I respect the shit out of the UFC and Dana.
When Kimbo wanted to fight in the UFC, they were like, fight in the Ultimate Fighter.
You want to fight in the UFC? I know you're making a lot of money in Elite XC, and everybody's making it out that you're the biggest thing.
But look, when Seth Petruzzelli fought Kimbo, there's a video of me saying it.
I was watching it from the fucking green room of the Atlanta punchline.
And I'd just gotten off stage, and Ken Shamrock got injured when he was supposed to be fighting Kimbo.
And I went backstage, and I saw Seth Petruzzelli.
I go, what the fuck is going on?
And they said, Ken Shamrock got injured.
I went, no way!
And they said, Seth Petruzzelli stepped in.
Day of the fight!
And took the fight.
unidentified
I'm like, oh no, Kimbo's gonna get fucked up!
joe rogan
That's the first thing.
I never make calls like that.
But I said it.
It's on video.
You can watch the video of me saying he's gonna get fucked up, and then he gets knocked out while we're watching the video.
Like, six seconds later, I'm like, I told you.
Because there's a giant difference between fighting guys who are awkward and clumsy, and you're a big, tough guy with good boxing.
brendan schaub
And in backyards.
joe rogan
And fighting a motherfucker like Seth Petrazi.
brendan schaub
So let me ask you this, Joe.
How do you justify CM Punk?
joe rogan
I don't.
I said it, I don't.
brendan schaub
They asked him to go on The Ultimate Fighter.
From what I've heard, they asked him and he was like, nah, I'm good.
joe rogan
First of all, sweat that glorious beard.
brendan schaub
Damn, son, look at that.
Why don't you bring that shit back?
joe rogan
This is a last minute replacement.
unidentified
I gotta think Seth Purchaselli's gonna fuck him up.
joe rogan
If I'm wrong, you'll never see this.
unidentified
That's funny.
joe rogan
So this is the fight live.
Kimbo's a bad motherfucker, by the way.
I just think Seth Petricelli.
unidentified
Here we go.
brendan schaub
This is why they do this.
unidentified
Oh, save Missy.
Give him a...
Well, uh-oh.
Oh!
joe rogan
Save America.
unidentified
Oh, my God.
You're fucking right.
Oh, yeah.
brendan schaub
Why is everyone so surprised?
joe rogan
What did I say?
unidentified
What did I say?
joe rogan
Seth Petricelli.
unidentified
That beard is glorious.
joe rogan
You're super high, aren't you?
Oh, I'm so high.
She looks so high right now.
I had to be that high to give that fucking breakdown on a television like that.
bryan callen
I could hide in that beard.
That's a hell of a beard.
joe rogan
I got a lot of man in me.
brendan schaub
If you want discipline, Kimbo, give him Justin.
joe rogan
This is reality.
There's levels to fighting.
I'm an MMA analyst.
What do I do as a profession?
I've been doing it for a long fucking time.
I've called thousands of fights.
That fight Should not be a co-main event fight.
I'm not saying those guys shouldn't be allowed to compete against each other.
They certainly should, but they're not I mean I understand they want to get paid and I get all that and I know that Kimbo has some serious knee problems like Kimbo when he was on the Ultimate Fighter they diagnosed him with bone-on-bone cartilage I mean his cartilage is just devastating.
brendan schaub
He's not young.
joe rogan
His knees are fucked from years of football.
And, you know, all the MMA training that he has done.
So I'm not hating on those guys to get paid, but what I am saying is, please, Bellator, cut the shit.
You can't do that.
brendan schaub
Cut the side-axe, the circus.
joe rogan
You got a chance, a real chance.
Bellator has a real chance of being a gigantic organization.
They just signed Benson Henderson.
They got Josh Thompson.
They might get your boy Mitrione.
They might get a bunch of other really good fighters.
They got Vanderlei Silva just fucking signed with him.
They have a real chance at being...
Right up there with the UFC. They're a fucking Viacom entity.
They have a tremendous amount of money behind them.
They're on television.
They're on Spike TV. Do it right.
brendan schaub
You know what's tough, though?
If you're Bellator, we're going to look at the ratings, son.
Over two million views while Dada's titties are to the side and Kimbo's gas.
joe rogan
It's Hoise Gracie, though.
That's Hoise Gracie.
brendan schaub
I disagree.
I think it's Kimbo.
He's a huge draw.
ian mccall
Huge draw.
brendan schaub
I don't think it's Hoise.
joe rogan
You might be right.
ian mccall
What if they have their own version of Fight Pass where UFC's pushing Fight Pass?
Put the freak shows on Fight Pass.
joe rogan
Yeah, but why?
brendan schaub
You can't put Kimball on Fight Pass when you get two million views on Spike TV. That's all they care about.
ian mccall
Maybe it'll drive views to your content-based website.
joe rogan
When a guy is in such bad shape that the fight itself almost kills him, And not damage.
Just competing almost kills him.
Because if you look at the damage that he took...
brendan schaub
Nothing happened.
joe rogan
Almost nothing.
Like, the combination that dropped him...
Like, the people have played it back and forth.
They're like ghost punches.
His body failed him.
brendan schaub
If he would've ate the same shots Bisping did against Anderson Silva...
joe rogan
Oh my god.
brendan schaub
You're dead.
joe rogan
Oh my god.
brendan schaub
You're dead.
joe rogan
That fucking flying knee.
That fucking flying knee.
But here, again, if anybody felt that I said something racist, I'm sorry that you felt that way.
I really am.
I'm not sorry that I said chicken, because I think this is ridiculous.
It's a ridiculous argument.
And I think in this day and age, there's nothing wrong with chicken.
There's nothing wrong with eating chicken.
It tastes great.
It's not racism.
Racism is trying to imply that one race is inferior.
And that is just not the case.
brendan schaub
Replace chicken with any fast food.
joe rogan
Any fatty foods.
brendan schaub
When you're out of shape, it was an example.
joe rogan
But there's a thing that people do, man, where they just look to be offended.
Or they decide that this is something they should be offended at.
Not looking at intent.
My intent was, I'm talking about a guy who, obviously, he didn't eat kale salads and fucking lean fish to get to that weight.
Hey man, he died!
bryan callen
That's another point, is that when you say, it feels like we live in a time when you are fighting for one group of people.
Like, say, people who have been oppressed in the past.
Instead of kind of having an intelligent debate and pointing your guns where they should be pointed at, which is usually a complex set of issues, what we're doing, I feel like, is we're demonizing one group to bolster another group that we call...
joe rogan
Not really.
They're not demonizing white people.
I don't think anybody's demonizing.
You think people demonize?
bryan callen
I do.
I think a lot of times, you know, if you look at, for example, I went to UPenn and I spoke to these kids in their theater department.
unidentified
Why?
bryan callen
Because somebody asked me to do it.
Somebody asked me to do it.
It was fun.
No, they wanted me to do it about the Goldbergs and stuff, and I was there.
I was there.
And I went and I asked the kids, I said, how many of you feel like your comedy...
Is something you have to be careful of because you might offend somebody in your class or your school.
And half the class raised their hands.
And by the way, most of those kids, because I looked at it, were mostly white.
And I thought, that's a shame.
That's such a bummer that your expression, and especially your comedy...
Is being cowed by, you know, the fact that you're trying to be fair-minded.
You know, none of those kids, I don't think, were racist or anything else, but when you're actually having...
unidentified
Or sexist.
bryan callen
Right.
But we see this in our institutions of learning, especially our higher institutions of learning, where you're just not able to really and honestly express yourself.
And God forbid it's funny!
God forbid it's a joke!
You know, if you're not toeing the line, then you will be censored.
joe rogan
I don't think it's a matter of demonizing white people, because they're not demonizing white people without doing that.
bryan callen
I don't think it's demonizing white people.
joe rogan
It's looking for anything to be offended at.
Even things that are not offensive.
bryan callen
Chris Rock took a lot of heat from other black people.
And white people.
And Asian people.
We're all very sensitive at a time when we are making big strides as well.
joe rogan
A hundred percent.
And I think part of that, I mean, the oversensitivity is because we sense that there is a lot of positive momentum.
bryan callen
Right.
joe rogan
And that people want to keep that going and they want to stop any racism.
Any racism that does come up, they want to nip that shit in the bud and let people know that it's not tolerated anymore.
Which is understandable, but we have to know when racism is real and when it's not real.
Right.
And there's also a lot of bandwagon bullshit jumping on where people just decide that this is something they should be offended by.
Where I'll sit down with you, motherfucker, you try to argue with me that that's racist.
There's no argument.
brendan schaub
It doesn't make any sense.
It's a lynch mom who they just want to jump on.
joe rogan
Yeah, it's a stupid argument.
It's like watermelon.
Watermelon's a stupid argument.
Watermelon's a goddamn delicious fruit.
You tell me that watermelon is racist, you're an idiot.
brendan schaub
If you tell me grape juice, watermelon, chicken's racist, then I don't know what to tell you.
bryan callen
They're reacting, though, to what was used in the past.
They're using what was used in the past.
unidentified
I know.
joe rogan
I get it, but fried chicken has always been a delicious food.
It's not something that poor people could only afford.
As a matter of fact, who was running for president?
I think it was Roosevelt.
Part of his campaign was a chicken in every pot.
And the reason why is because chicken was expensive back then.
So he was saying that he was going to offer prosperity to the American people and that every family would have a chicken.
brendan schaub
I'm offended fried chicken's racist.
No, I'm offended.
joe rogan
It's not racist.
It's racial in that it's always been in some way connected with black people.
But it's also...
It's not something only black people eat.
It's not like curry.
Even then, that's like a serious ethnic food.
You know, you say someone smells like curry, that's more racial if you're talking about an Indian person.
bryan callen
When Magic Johnson owned all his Starbucks, He opened Starbucks in black neighborhoods, and one of the first things he said is, you guys are selling food that black people that I grew up with are not going to eat, and here are the foods you should sell at my Starbucks.
And he made a lot of money by changing At least back in the time.
What they were willing to offer.
joe rogan
What did they change it to?
What was the new menu?
bryan callen
Believe it or not, I think one of the things, this is back when I read about it probably a long time, 10 years ago more than that, they were offering in the Starbucks in Harlem and places like that, they were offering things like sweet potato pie.
ian mccall
Fried chicken.
bryan callen
I don't know.
Those little sweet potato pies are goddamn delicious.
brendan schaub
At Starbucks?
joe rogan
I've never seen it at Starbucks.
bryan callen
Back in the day, Magic Johnson said, the food that you have in these is not going to fly.
brendan schaub
Hold up.
Magic Johnson put sweet potato pie?
joe rogan
We don't eat scones.
unidentified
We don't eat scones.
bryan callen
That's not racist.
That's cultural.
That's a cultural thing.
joe rogan
You know what's hilarious?
Another thing that people were trying to get upset at me was orange soda.
Guess what?
Orange soda is not connected to black people.
It is just not.
It's just not.
Like saying that orange soda is racist.
So that was like the cover of Yahoo.
They cut out cheeseburgers and they wrote, Joe Rogan says that Dada ate fried chicken and orange soda.
Like, they didn't even say cheeseburger because I was trying to throw in a bunch of different things.
But orange soda is not racist at all.
It's a syrupy, super sweet, fatty drink.
brendan schaub
I love me some orange soda.
joe rogan
It's very tasty.
brendan schaub
That's probably why I'm thicker than a Snickers, man.
I just I love orange soda, bro.
joe rogan
But you like sugar.
brendan schaub
I'm addicted to it.
joe rogan
Dude, those goddamn delicious mangoes with chili.
brendan schaub
You fucked me with those.
I really never had them, dude.
joe rogan
Go in there.
They got your name on them.
There's bags of them.
I can't eat them.
brendan schaub
All right, I'll try them.
joe rogan
There's a diet that I'm on.
unidentified
From who?
brendan schaub
You know what?
I should try it.
joe rogan
I got a bunch of different companies that I have back there.
unidentified
You hungry?
joe rogan
You want one?
Go grab one.
There's bags of them back there.
brendan schaub
Don't be scared to bring an extra bag, my man.
joe rogan
The best ones that I've tried so far are Trader Joe's.
To the right.
The Trader Joe's ones are goddamn delicious.
brendan schaub
Yeah, sugar, man.
Me and sugar, I don't...
joe rogan
Everybody and sugar.
People are mad at me for talking too much about sugar, so I'm going to shut the fuck up.
brendan schaub
Man, you can't do anything.
unidentified
I can't do anything.
joe rogan
Well, you know what?
We're dealing with volume, the numbers.
I mean, we've got like 23 million downloads this month.
The numbers are insane.
brendan schaub
But whenever you stand for something or whenever you have an opinion...
joe rogan
I stand for chili mango.
brendan schaub
Me too.
Whenever you stand for something or you have an opinion, people aren't going to agree with everything, man.
But if people aren't disagreeing with you, you're a schmuck.
You're a schmuck, man.
joe rogan
Well, you're not expressing yourself honestly.
brendan schaub
You're not being original.
You're trying to please the crowd.
joe rogan
Everybody has different points of view.
brendan schaub
There's nothing wrong with that, though.
You're not a hater.
Ooh, look at that.
joe rogan
He gave it to you.
brendan schaub
Aw, thanks, brother.
donald cerrone
He's eating a fucking bar.
joe rogan
He's eating something super healthy, low sugar, and he handed that bag over to you.
ian mccall
Just because I'm Mexican doesn't mean I like fruit and fucking salt on it, okay?
I've never been able to figure that out.
joe rogan
Well, it's the chili powder, man.
That's a delicious combination.
I had a dream last night.
unidentified
Not my thing.
joe rogan
I had a dream last night that I was eating bread.
And that someone called me out on it and someone was like, dude, you're eating bread.
I was like, oh no.
brendan schaub
Freaked out.
ian mccall
Sinner.
joe rogan
I got too high and I ate the bread and I forgot.
Isn't that crazy?
What kind of a fucked up dream is that?
That I'm eating bread?
That was a real dream that I had.
brendan schaub
I can't believe you're going to run with this diet for more than 60 days.
joe rogan
I'm definitely gonna run with it for more than 60 days.
I feel great.
I'm down...
I don't know how much I'm down.
But I was at 194 this morning.
brendan schaub
And you started at...
joe rogan
Actually, 193.8.
brendan schaub
You started at what?
joe rogan
202, 203. Not bad.
I'm somewhere around, like, nine pounds down.
brendan schaub
That's pretty cool.
And you're eating...
joe rogan
I'm eating like a pig!
brendan schaub
My thing is, I'm good when I'm at home, but whenever Cal and I go on the road or anything like that, my diet goes to shit.
joe rogan
If I had to walk around with a 10-pound jacket on, I'd be uncomfortable.
I'd be like, God, get this fucking stupid jacket off.
I think that's how you have to look at your body.
If you're one of those people that goes, Oh, I could lose 20 pounds.
Who gives a shit?
If you take that 20 pounds and put a 20-pound jacket on, how would you feel?
You're just accustomed to feeling like shit.
So that feeling like shit becomes your new normal.
brendan schaub
You know what?
I'll eat six Cadbury eggs and wear that jacket.
You know what I'm saying?
unidentified
I fucking...
bryan callen
Cadbury eggs!
He loves Cadbury eggs.
If you want to kidnap him, put some Cadbury eggs in a van, and put them in the back of the van, and then he'll just...
He can't help himself.
joe rogan
I will gladly wear that 10-pound jacket.
He'll just go in there like one of those fucking trap things to catch coyotes.
unidentified
He can't help himself.
He'll put fucking food in there and take traps behind him.
bryan callen
Got you!
Got you, big boy!
Got you!
brendan schaub
We were in a meeting a couple days ago with Fox, all suits, and someone had a bag of red vines, like, shop, you want one?
They threw me the bag.
I was like, ah, fuck.
Calum goes, holy shit, he ate all of them in front of everyone.
bryan callen
Well, I turned my head to look out the window, and then I turned back, and they were gone.
I was like, what'd you do?
Swallow them all?
joe rogan
Sugar is a drug.
It is a drug.
It really is.
It doesn't seem like a drug because it doesn't get you high.
But there's a physical reaction that your body has to sugar where when I would eat, I'd eat a full meal and then after the meal I would still be hungry for something.
And what I was craving was like either carbs or I was craving cookies.
Like I'd see like a bag of cookies and I'd go, oh, cookies and milk.
brendan schaub
Talking about sweet, dude.
joe rogan
Yeah.
Sugar.
Meanwhile, I'm stuffed.
Stuffed like I ate a giant meal.
brendan schaub
Yeah, I don't have a sweet tooth.
I have sweet teeth.
It's just like that all the time.
You know what I'm saying?
I don't ever not want sugar.
joe rogan
Yeah, but if you stopped eating it, if you took time off, I guarantee you your gut bacteria would change and that craving would go away.
Look, I could eat that.
No one's stopping me.
I don't have a law.
It's not like I'm on probation.
I can't have fucking sugar.
I don't want it.
What about raw honey?
bryan callen
Is raw honey different in your body?
joe rogan
No, not really.
unidentified
Sugar, sugar, son.
joe rogan
I mean, sugar, sugar, but it's not terrible for you.
Look, it's not terrible for you if you don't get too much of it.
The problem is, you're only really supposed to have about 25 grams of sugar a day if you live a healthy diet.
brendan schaub
I'm saying good luck getting 25 grams.
bryan callen
That's all I do, I think.
I think bread breaks down as glucose.
joe rogan
No, bread is definitely sugar.
Sugar and pasta.
Pasta is sugar.
This diet, this Mark Sisson's primal blueprint diet is no grains.
I've never done that before.
I've done gluten-free before where I had rice noodles and stuff like that.
This is the first time I've ever had no grains at all.
I just did it for a goof.
I'm not doing it to prepare for anything, but listen to this guy, Mark Sisson, who was a very smart guy and very interesting guy to talk to.
He's not a bullshit artist.
And I'm listening to what he had to say about inflammation and all the issues that he had dealt with, like acid reflux or what was it?
brendan schaub
I listen to that show.
joe rogan
IBS. And also joint pain, arthritis.
I'm telling you, that is the interesting thing.
I think I talked about this before the podcast, but when I get out of bed, I don't have any aches and pains anymore.
I would get out of bed and I'd be like, oh, my fucking back.
And I'd have to loosen up, and I would do all these exercises and shit before my body started feeling loose again.
I'd have to get my back moving, I'd get blood circulation.
And then once things started circulating, the aches would kind of slowly go away.
I don't have any aches.
I get up, I have nothing.
I just get up.
And it took me a while to realize that.
I would go, oh, it's gone.
brendan schaub
Have you ever tried fasting before?
joe rogan
No, but I do intermittent fasting now.
brendan schaub
Me too.
joe rogan
So I eat at 9 o'clock at night, right?
And then I don't do anything until my workout.
My workout is like 10 o'clock in the morning, and then I work out, and then I eat after my workout.
So for, you know, 11 hours or 12 hours or so, I'm not eating shit.
brendan schaub
See, on Sundays, I usually fast.
I stop eating Saturday night at usually 7. I won't eat until the next day to 7. 24 hours.
joe rogan
I like it, too.
You have a good meal at 9 o'clock.
You finish somewhere around 10. And then you let all that shit digest and then take that time off.
And then when you wake up at 9 or 10, do a hard cardio workout.
It kicks in your body's desire to burn fat.
brendan schaub
You can also get away with eating some sugar.
I worked out damn near seven days a week.
You know what I'm saying?
So you'll burn a lot of that off.
bryan callen
Do you know what epi will?
joe rogan
I mean, you're not fat.
bryan callen
You know what epigenetics...
unidentified
Thanks, man.
bryan callen
You know what epigenetics...
I think it's...
joe rogan
You needed that, like a hug.
unidentified
Exactly.
brendan schaub
Thanks, bro.
I was waiting for some of them.
bryan callen
That was the final sign.
joe rogan
You're obviously a very fit guy.
You don't have any issues as far as your appearance, but as far as the overall performance of your body, if you just wanted to give it a goof for your show, just to guide people through it for fun.
I've gotten all these tweets and Facebook messages from all these people that are trying to do it now.
brendan schaub
I want to do something outlandish, though.
Cabbage diet for a month or something.
joe rogan
Hey, but that's not healthy.
What you should do is just try it.
Try no sugar.
I know.
Look, man, I'm telling you, I bought 10 bags of those fucking chili mango things back there and boxes of those sugary bars because I love them, you know, but I don't like them right now.
Like, that doesn't have any pull to me.
That's what's the most fascinating thing about this.
The bread...
bryan callen
Killed your craving.
joe rogan
Oh, yeah.
I went to dinner the other day, and we're at this Italian restaurant with my family, and bread comes out, and it didn't mean shit to me.
bryan callen
Do you know what they find that this, from what I've read and heard, epigeneticists got people who study how you can turn genes on and off, right?
So that's a new science.
Do you know what one of the leading causes of inflammation is, which I thought was fascinating?
Your gums...
And the food that gets stuck between your gums will break down as bacteria and apparently goes into the bloodstream.
And they're finding that that has a...
First of all, they know that that kind of bacteria has a lot to do with your heart health.
But it also has a great deal to do with inflammation in the body, which is fascinating.
So that's why they say one of the most important things you can do is freeze.
Floss.
brendan schaub
Ah, fuck that noise.
bryan callen
I know, but that's what this guy...
brendan schaub
Do you floss?
joe rogan
That's what this guy said.
brendan schaub
Not my friend.
You floss?
bryan callen
I do now since I heard that.
unidentified
Fuck you.
brendan schaub
You don't floss.
bryan callen
I do now since I heard it.
joe rogan
How many times have you flossed?
ian mccall
Floss pics.
bryan callen
Now that I've heard that since the past week, I do it twice a day.
joe rogan
I'm sorry, man.
I flossed a dozen times in my entire life on this planet.
bryan callen
I never go to the dentist either.
brendan schaub
I flossed once and my gums bled so bad.
ian mccall
I like to pick at my gums.
joe rogan
I do like those things.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
You know what I like?
ian mccall
I'll take those.
joe rogan
Water pics.
That's the shit.
brendan schaub
Those are the shit.
bryan callen
I think that's better.
As you sleep, it breaks down and goes into the bloodstream.
And that bacteria apparently has a great deal to do with information.
joe rogan
That's why it's good to have a little gap tooth.
Get some gaps in your teeth.
bryan callen
Pull a couple teeth out.
joe rogan
No, you don't want that.
brendan schaub
Pull a couple teeth out.
joe rogan
I used to have a thing for girls with gap teeth.
brendan schaub
I'm not mad at that either.
It's pretty attractive.
bryan callen
I have a thing for girls.
ian mccall
I dated one.
brendan schaub
You dated a Michael Strahan?
ian mccall
Yes.
And it's it's not you know, I'm just she was fucking gorgeous, but I think it's hot.
joe rogan
I think it's hot girls with a gap tooth.
brendan schaub
I'm trying to think of the hottest girl that she was a Bellator girl Jay Bryce.
joe rogan
Oh perfect example.
brendan schaub
Is that the girl?
Oh, my bad.
unidentified
She's the only girl I know with a giant gap.
ian mccall
Yes, we were talking about it.
She's possibly the nicest person on the planet.
bryan callen
She's also one of the hottest people on the planet.
brendan schaub
Yes, tooth or not.
ian mccall
There you go.
joe rogan
Powerful gap tooth.
ian mccall
Yeah, there's a lot of pretty women with gap tooth.
joe rogan
Lauren Hutton, remember that?
Old school model, movie star.
Powerful gap tooth.
She was like the poster girl.
When I was a kid, I remember seeing her.
brendan schaub
There's some new girl now I see on billboards with just a fucking field golfy teeth.
bryan callen
I know who you're talking about.
joe rogan
You know who was interesting?
brendan schaub
Yeah.
joe rogan
You know who was interesting?
There's Lauren Hutton.
God damn it.
brendan schaub
You know what?
joe rogan
That's too much.
brendan schaub
Powerful gap tooth.
joe rogan
The show back when she was hot and young.
I don't want to see some old pictures.
brendan schaub
Look at her.
She looks like fucking Willy Wonka now.
joe rogan
Where's the gap tooth?
There it is.
Bam, son.
bryan callen
There's my girl right there.
joe rogan
Look at that gap tooth.
That's a nice gap.
brendan schaub
She's lucky she has them eyes.
joe rogan
She's beautiful.
brendan schaub
She's good.
joe rogan
Did you guys pay attention to the controversy?
Boy, we're really breaking down these fights.
Did you guys pay attention to the controversy that these models were complaining about this oversized model or plus-sized model?
Sorry, I said oversized.
Sorry.
Oversized model.
I said it again.
ian mccall
Not my size, just a different size.
joe rogan
On the cover of Sports Illustrated.
brendan schaub
Dude, she's the hottest one.
joe rogan
Well, they were saying these models were bitching.
Rhonda's the middle.
And they were saying that it's not healthy.
brendan schaub
Oh, fuck off.
joe rogan
What she's doing is not healthy.
unidentified
What?
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Because a bitch likes a t-bone?
And these other girls don't eat?
Guys don't like skinny girls.
Only other skinny models like that.
ian mccall
I like a girl, I gotta use ya.
But I only weigh 125 pounds, I know.
But I like skinny girls.
joe rogan
What do you walk around at?
What's your walk around weight?
45, 50. Okay, there she is in the middle.
brendan schaub
That girl in the middle ain't for you, Creepy.
bryan callen
She's delicious.
joe rogan
She's got some giant ta-tas.
bryan callen
Yeah, let me see more of her.
brendan schaub
Is there more of her?
joe rogan
Well, she's the one, by the way, that is not wearing fucking body paint.
That girl on the left, though.
They might have put body paint on Rhonda.
You can't put body paint on them giant ta-tas.
bryan callen
You can't come light in the ass, either.
That girl's hot as fuck.
You must come correct.
unidentified
She's pretty.
joe rogan
Jesus Christ, she's beautiful.
bryan callen
Come correct.
joe rogan
Alright, now we gotta slow down.
brendan schaub
We gotta chill out, because those hips...
unidentified
I like her.
joe rogan
Well, it's the legs and the hips.
Meanwhile...
All this young lady needs to do is a rigorous strength and conditioning program for a couple weeks.
Eat healthy.
Okay, well, we just got a little ridiculous here.
Is that her back there?
brendan schaub
Her face is beautiful.
joe rogan
Obviously, she fluctuates.
brendan schaub
She's super hot, yeah.
bryan callen
I like her body.
I like it.
joe rogan
I see that there.
It's perfect.
That's perfect.
Is that her?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Okay, right there is perfect.
She fluctuates, obviously.
brendan schaub
Her midsection looks like mine.
joe rogan
I don't mind.
brendan schaub
I'm not mad.
Don't get me wrong.
Out of those three girls...
joe rogan
I bet she has no problem dealing with the shob.
You know what I'm saying?
You can't over-fuck her.
brendan schaub
Oh, I agree.
joe rogan
She's ready.
unidentified
She's not like, ow, ow, ow.
brendan schaub
You can't go hard enough.
joe rogan
Slow it up.
She's your ocean.
She's going to get you in full garden.
She is your ocean.
brendan schaub
Dude, her face is beautiful.
joe rogan
She's gorgeous.
bryan callen
She's your ocean, buddy.
joe rogan
There's a lot of variety in the photos of her.
Like, some of her where she looks perfect, and some of her where she's obviously a little indulgent.
brendan schaub
You know what's going to be true?
How old is she?
I guess in her early 20s?
When she's 40, I don't know if that's a fun scene.
joe rogan
Well, there's no such thing as one of these models that's in any...
ian mccall
What does she weigh?
How old is she?
unidentified
She's 87. 29. 29. Okay.
joe rogan
There's no such thing as these models when they're 40. They don't exist.
Especially the plus size ones.
brendan schaub
How dare you?
Not the plus size ones.
joe rogan
No, they just don't exist.
Nobody wants to see it.
brendan schaub
Cindy Crawford's still doing the damn thing.
joe rogan
We've been over this.
brendan schaub
But that thick chick, good for you, girl.
joe rogan
There's a very few of them, man.
But Cindy, that's a full-time job.
She's on it all day with creams and antioxidant lotions and rubbing fucking...
Loofers all over her face.
brendan schaub
Hadn't had a car in 20 years.
joe rogan
She's rubbing sand over her face, smoothing it out.
brendan schaub
It's exhausting.
Exhausting like that.
joe rogan
It's so fucking tiring.
bryan callen
There's a sandstorm.
Hurry up.
I gotta run.
I gotta go for a jog.
joe rogan
Yeah, she probably sees fat, ugly chicks.
She's like, I wish.
Who's the girl who's in Body Heat?
Kathleen?
unidentified
Turner.
joe rogan
Turner.
She was smoking when she was young.
bryan callen
And she became an alcoholic.
brendan schaub
Let me see this chick, Jamie.
joe rogan
She became like a balloon animal.
bryan callen
She drank a lot.
She became a...
brendan schaub
She blew the fuck up?
joe rogan
Well, not only that, she had that balloon, that drunk face where something happens to your nose.
bryan callen
Yeah.
joe rogan
Your nose gets really big.
unidentified
You're broadened out.
joe rogan
Okay, first of all, look at where when she was upper left corner, please.
Look at that.
Dude, she was so hot when she was young.
That Body Heat movie, that was 1981, by the way.
bryan callen
A lot of nostril there.
brendan schaub
A lot of nostril.
bryan callen
If we get her to bring her face down.
joe rogan
She's sniffing cock.
bryan callen
There you go.
She had a real husky, sexy voice.
unidentified
This mic smells like shit.
joe rogan
Can these things change?
Can I take these off?
They don't come off.
Ew!
brendan schaub
At least it's yours.
joe rogan
I'm just upset that I've been talking to people.
This is what's been coming out of my mouth.
I feel rude.
ian mccall
How was brushing your teeth this morning with dog shit?
brendan schaub
I'm not crazy about this, Jerk.
joe rogan
This is a really hot girl from 1981. If you saw her at the gym today, you'd be like, how about be here more often?
brendan schaub
How about be here more often?
bryan callen
She's a hell of an actress.
brendan schaub
I want to see her now, Jamie.
joe rogan
Well, the bodies that women have today are just better.
Because they're better for what I like.
I like a gal who looks athletic.
That's what I like.
I like girls, like CrossFit girls.
Like, look at her now.
bryan callen
She did a lot of drinking.
ian mccall
And smoking with your voice.
joe rogan
Jesus Christ, why?
bryan callen
She did a lot of drinking, man.
joe rogan
And women are like, that's what a real woman looks like, you fucking asshole!
brendan schaub
That's what a real...
Nah, man.
unidentified
She's 50 fucking years old, you piece of shit!
bryan callen
That's a lot of booze.
joe rogan
Meanwhile, Cindy Crawford is 52. Yeah.
brendan schaub
Brinkley?
ian mccall
Yeah.
joe rogan
Christy Brinkley's 90. Hot as fuck.
She's 150 years old.
unidentified
150!
joe rogan
And we'd all fuck her.
brendan schaub
Fucking Crypt Keeper.
joe rogan
I would fuck her after you guys fucked her.
How about that?
I'm gonna pretend.
That's her when she was in that movie Body Heat.
bryan callen
Great movie.
brendan schaub
I just don't understand.
Maybe she got money and said, fuck it.
joe rogan
No, she drank.
I think it's booze.
ian mccall
And cigarettes, because with that voice, she smokes a lot of cigarettes.
bryan callen
She had a serious drinking problem.
joe rogan
Did she stop?
bryan callen
I don't know, but I know she talks about it.
brendan schaub
Maybe she had a blast, got some money, started smoking, got fat as fuck, eating catberry eggs.
I'm not mad at it.
joe rogan
Maybe she just got tired of getting dick.
She's like, I gotta keep the dick away.
bryan callen
It's exhausting.
I think she might be gay, in fact.
I don't know why I'm saying that.
joe rogan
You just think everybody's gay today.
bryan callen
Yeah, I know.
joe rogan
How dare you?
bryan callen
I like to spread rumors.
brendan schaub
Yeah, how dare you do about Ky Green?
Ky Green's in Venice a lot.
He's gonna fuck you up.
unidentified
And by fuck you up, I mean he's gonna fuck you, yeah.
brendan schaub
Like he fucked that grapefruit.
bryan callen
In a straight way.
brendan schaub
Oh, that's hilarious.
joe rogan
Yeah, I just don't...
I mean, I think also the pressure of being a hot chick, I think it's overwhelming.
I think after a while they just get...
I mean, speaking from personal experience, my days as a hot chick...
I just think it's overwhelming for those girls.
Like, to imagine your entire existence is based entirely on people wanting to fuck you.
bryan callen
You're defined on symmetry and...
ian mccall
Guys just sending mental dick missiles at your face all day long.
brendan schaub
Dude, I used to work out at this gym where...
I won't say your name.
joe rogan
I like that noise.
brendan schaub
A very famous...
bryan callen
Mental dick missiles is pretty funny.
brendan schaub
Yeah, it's ridiculous.
A famous female celebrity would work out there, and she would go in the shower before me, But the paparazzi was waiting for her outside.
She was in there for maybe damn near two hours.
We'd come out in full makeup ready.
Because there's so much pressure.
Because people were just taking pictures all the time.
joe rogan
Yeah, it's hard, man.
brendan schaub
It felt bad for her, man.
joe rogan
It's hard.
bryan callen
Renee Zellweger said that she moved to New York because when she'd get out to put gas in her car, if she brushed her nose, they'd take a picture and it looked like she was picking her nose.
She just was followed everywhere.
She was like, I'm going to New York to live there.
joe rogan
And by the way, for a girl like that, whenever I'm around him, I have to say by the way.
That's contagious as fuck.
For sure.
When I'm around him, I say for sure.
When I'm around you, I say by the way.
It's just exhausting to be one of those ladies.
And she also had to get a fuckload of plastic surgery.
I mean, she didn't have to, but she did.
brendan schaub
She tried to keep up, man.
It's a fucking dog race if you're a hot chick.
joe rogan
It's not good.
It's not good.
It's rough.
ian mccall
You have an expiration date, too, pretty much.
I mean, that's going away.
bryan callen
Well, Patty Jenkins, you know, our friend who directed Wonder Woman now...
She said, if you want to be humiliated, be a woman, a female actor in her late 30s, early 40s.
You know, when you start to lose, quote unquote, your delicious, as Katharine Hepburn said, you become invisible.
Oh, you won three Oscars?
Awesome.
We'll see you later.
There really aren't any parts for you.
It's tough, man.
brendan schaub
Even Anne Hathaway talked about that.
She said she was the young girl getting the parts and now she's not getting them.
She's like, I get it.
It's the business, man.
There's 19-year-olds taking my job.
She's like, I used to be that 19-year-old.
joe rogan
Yeah, but here's the thing.
I can't get a job playing a black basketball player because I'm not a black basketball player.
You know what I'm saying?
I can't get a job playing Jackie Chan's brother because I don't look like I'd be Jackie Chan's brother.
If you want a job...
As a hot chick, you have to be a hot chick.
When you are no longer a hot chick, you're going to have to get a job as a hot chick's mom.
That's not sexism.
That's called reality.
What the fuck did you do to get famous in the first place?
You got the genetic lottery.
You're mad?
The genetic lottery has an expiration date?
Oh my god, I feel so bad.
It's so hard for women in this business.
It's pretty fucking easy for you to slip in the door.
All you have to do is have good features.
bryan callen
It's also hard for guys in this business.
This business is ridiculous!
brendan schaub
It's hard for everyone.
joe rogan
The business is, who wants to fuck you?
Does no one want to fuck you?
Well, we're going to find someone we want to fuck.
bryan callen
I lost the part because my manager called me and he goes, you want me to be honest?
I go, what?
He goes, they just said you weren't TV good looking enough.
I was like, that makes sense.
I agree with that.
joe rogan
That's reality, man.
That's reality.
It's not true.
brendan schaub
Well, it's not true.
joe rogan
It depends on what they were trying to pitch.
brendan schaub
Well, if they're trying to cast you as the 30-something single guy, yeah, probably not.
joe rogan
If you were like a guy on Lost with a plane crashed and you were fairly rugged and you took care of some older women and they wanted to fuck you.
Yes.
brendan schaub
You're the guy.
bryan callen
Yes.
joe rogan
You know how to make a fire with a stick.
bryan callen
My buddy Frank Grillo, the greatest guy in the world, called me up.
He'd be like, dude, you've got to get on this audition.
And I would call my agent and bitch.
And finally my agent, David Letterman, goes, Brian, he just stopped me.
He goes, Brian, you have to stop calling me about the auditions Frank Grillo goes on.
And I said, why?
He goes, because you don't look like Frank Grillo.
You're not his casting.
You could play his friend, but you don't have his hair or his look.
And he just, he got mad at me.
I was like, you know what?
You're absolutely right.
joe rogan
That's just how it goes.
That's how it goes.
And you can't get upset at that because that's, you got in just as easy.
You didn't get a goddamn PhD to be a hot chick.
unidentified
Right.
joe rogan
You know, it's not like you fucking scoured the world and busted your ass 16 hours a day going through doctorate...
Your dissertation and fucking writing books.
No!
You're just a pretty girl who knows how to pretend.
For you to be upset that people don't care about you because you turned 40. Well, guess what?
You're in the wrong goddamn business.
They're not going to care about you when you're dead either.
And you're going to die.
So there's a certain reality to the expiration date of the occupation that you've chosen.
brendan schaub
That's what you've signed up for.
joe rogan
Sports too.
And this is not the fucking business's responsibility.
You know, I mean, I was friends with a guy who was Asian, who was always complaining.
About the lack of Asian roles in Hollywood.
brendan schaub
Yeah, legit point.
joe rogan
And I was like, well, okay.
But they don't have to write a movie about Asian people.
They're like, well, it's a closed system.
Well, okay.
You've got to figure out a way through the system.
There's a certain way that has to be available to someone to get a gig.
And they shouldn't have to cast you just because there's no Asian people in their movie.
bryan callen
That's going on in Hollywood.
For example, like the black issue in Hollywood.
Look, black people take up, what, 12% of the population in this country.
There are a lot of very talented black people, as there are a lot of very talented white people.
But the bottom line is, money-wise, you know, there's more money in making sort of movies that are geared maybe toward a white populace only because that's the economics.
There are a whole lot more audience members that are white who And the infrastructure, yes, is already fairly white, so it's going to take some time.
But to mandate or to kind of scold Hollywood because there aren't enough vehicles or roles for black people or Asian people, it seems to me to be a little bit disingenuous.
I understand the frustration, but come on, man.
At the end of the day, it's reflective of demographics.
Isn't it?
Isn't it reflective of the fact that 12% of the population are African American?
brendan schaub
Yeah.
bryan callen
Most of this country is still white?
brendan schaub
And it's still a business.
bryan callen
And it's still a business.
brendan schaub
I went on an audition a couple months ago.
Went great.
It was between me and one other guy, and the other guy was African American.
My agent called me and goes, man, you did great.
They think you're better, but...
They're gonna go with the...
joe rogan
They think you're better?
brendan schaub
Yeah.
They think you're better, but they're gonna go with African American for this.
joe rogan
Because they want diversity.
Because they don't want to get people upset at them.
bryan callen
First of all, that's a fact.
First of all, there's a quota.
joe rogan
So it's effective.
So it's effective.
bryan callen
If you're casting a movie, I mean a TV show now, it is a fact, and I just know this, that you have to cast a certain number of people of quote-unquote color.
joe rogan
That is a lot of pressure.
But you don't have to.
You don't have to.
But if you want to avoid criticism, and that's one of the reasons why this criticism exists.
It's essentially like an affirmative action for acting.
brendan schaub
It's in the NFL, too.
You know if you're hiring a head coach in the NFL, you have to interview a black coach?
You have to.
It's required you have to interview a black coach.
So you might have six white guys, and you're like, fuck, the sixth one's really good.
I know, but you've got to put in this inferior black guy.
We have to do it.
bryan callen
They're trying to equalize the playing field and create equality of opportunity, which is a good thing.
I just don't know if that's the best way to do it.
joe rogan
Well, what is the best way to do it?
bryan callen
The best way to do it is to meritocracy and create opportunities for people of all ilks and all colors earlier.
Nurture various cultures.
Nurture the idea that, hey, instead of taking this path, maybe there's another path.
I'd love to see more black scientists and doctors over more black actors and things like that.
Yeah, but you can't encourage people to do what they want to do.
The way you do it is you nurture those communities when they're still young and create possibilities there.
brendan schaub
I'm under the line, the best guys should get the job.
I don't care.
Black, white, Indian, it doesn't matter.
joe rogan
Yeah, I think that's true too, but I also think we've got to figure out why those people aren't getting opportunities.
Like, what is it?
bryan callen
That's the answer.
That's the question.
brendan schaub
They're not born with the same opportunity.
joe rogan
Yeah, they're not born with the same opportunity.
They're given a shitty deal as far as like their hand...
That they're dealt at birth.
bryan callen
That's a fact.
joe rogan
You've got to fix the hand.
bryan callen
Yes, but also, keep in mind, first of all, you talk about black people, gay people, white people, it's so ridiculous.
We're very different.
A black person from Nigeria- Did you mix black people and gay people?
brendan schaub
How dare you.
bryan callen
A black person from Nigeria is very different than a black guy who grew up in South Carolina.
It's just a completely different culture and everything.
The African immigrant experience in this country Is not so different from a lot of other immigrant experiences.
So culture plays a factor in where people start and end as well.
We don't talk enough about that.
It's very taboo to suggest maybe your culture, if you're a white guy from the Appalachian Mountains, Isn't as effective for this marketplace as the culture of a Northeastern white guy.
Maybe your culture, if you come from a black Mississippi, a black Mississippi neighborhood, or where Dada 5000 is from, in that documentary.
unidentified
It's from Florida.
joe rogan
That's a racist count.
bryan callen
I'm saying, I'm saying, dog white in Florida.
brendan schaub
Let me guess, it's chicken?
bryan callen
But that culture, you have to say, what are the deficits in that culture compared to the advantages of being a black Kenyan or a black Nigerian that seems to work in this marketplace?
Let's start talking about that.
If you don't want to have a discussion about that, maybe you don't care enough about the problems.
joe rogan
I don't know what you just said, so I can't really agree.
bryan callen
What I'm saying is that culture plays a factor.
brendan schaub
You left me at Dada was born in Ohio.
bryan callen
The way you solve the problem is look at how kids are raised.
Start there.
joe rogan
Well, I think for sure we have a problem in this country where there's communities where people are growing up where it's just despair.
Despair and crime, Baltimore, Detroit.
I mean, you can keep going down the list of terrible...
We have to help these Syrian refugees.
We have to help people in Detroit, too, man.
You know, help people.
bryan callen
People are, but you're also dealing with a legacy.
That's where racism is a legacy.
Baltimore.
Well, black people were redlined.
joe rogan
Well, I had this guy Michael Wood on, who was a cop in Baltimore.
brendan schaub
That was a good one.
joe rogan
Great fucking guy.
brendan schaub
Hell yeah.
joe rogan
Super articulate and smart.
He's actually running for the head of police of Chicago right now.
Definitely going to win.
Well, I hope he wins, because he's got the right idea, and he was a cop, and he's a fucking super honest guy.
But he said that the way Baltimore was set up, you literally couldn't sell black people houses in white neighborhoods.
bryan callen
That's right.
It's called being redlined.
In every community, why is there a black ghetto in almost every community?
That's a bad part of town.
What a coincidence it's black.
You couldn't get a loan for a house unless it was in within these lines.
That's how it was.
That's what you call institutionalized racism.
joe rogan
And the people that were living there, they didn't own those houses.
They were renting.
brendan schaub
You know what's weird is there's really no, if you think about it, just to go back to what we're originally supposed to be talking about, if you go back to it, there's really no black female fighters.
joe rogan
Angela Hill.
brendan schaub
Okay.
joe rogan
Who was mad at me, by the way.
brendan schaub
At 135 is none.
joe rogan
For saying fried chicken.
She made a Twitter post, says this is what she hears, and she had a clip of me from my 2005 Showtime special where I said there's three magic words.
Love, cunt, and nigger.
Those are the three magic words.
And the last one, you can't even say it out loud.
Not even calling somebody it.
You can't even say it out loud.
If you say it out loud, people could beat the fuck out of you.
unidentified
For sure.
joe rogan
I mean, that was the point of the bit.
So she took an excerpt of that and she said, this is what I hear when he says that.
And so she was super upset.
brendan schaub
That's disappointing.
joe rogan
It is disappointing.
brendan schaub
Disappointing.
I'm saying, at 135, like, there's not a lot of African Americans fighting in the UFC in the female division.
joe rogan
No, there's not.
And there's some beast that...
brendan schaub
Especially women.
But if you think about it, there's some beast African-American women.
joe rogan
It's a new sport.
brendan schaub
Fucking monsters.
Wait till they get into it.
Wait till you have two little Serena Williams sisters who are like, maybe you guys should fight.
See ya, everybody.
unidentified
See ya.
ian mccall
They are fucking athletes.
There's my cryo lady.
brendan schaub
What do you mean they?
ian mccall
Black people.
Black people.
Okay.
She's white, but her kids are black.
And her daughter looks like Venus and Serena.
She's 15. And hey, we should play tennis together.
Fuck you.
How fast do you serve?
She goes, oh, like a little over 100. I'm like, why the fuck would I want you serving a ball at me in 100 miles?
joe rogan
Make her play tennis with Callan.
Callan is a fucking stud.
He takes lessons.
brendan schaub
We're the pro.
ian mccall
Show fuck you just like that bodybuilder guy.
bryan callen
I go...
And when I back and I go...
That's a long one.
And when I serve, I go...
brendan schaub
Eat my dick?
joe rogan
That's a good thing to say.
I lose a lot though.
Did this motherfucker just say eat my dick?
unidentified
I lose a lot though.
joe rogan
Flies right by you.
unidentified
Eat a dick!
joe rogan
Did he just say eat my dick?
brendan schaub
Yeah, but wait till African-American girls go, you know what?
We can kind of make money in this fight game.
All the white girls are fucked.
joe rogan
A lot of Russian and a lot of Polish, like, you know, Ioana, Jacek, and there's a lot of Muay Thai in Europe and in Russia, and I think a lot of those athletes are going to leak into MMA. You know, Ioana's going to Muscle Farm.
Is she?
brendan schaub
She's doing some of her camp at Muscle Farm.
joe rogan
That's great.
bryan callen
I would also suggest that black being a super whatever athlete is a black...
There's only one black champion right now, right?
You got Luke Rockhold.
brendan schaub
You got Jon Jones.
joe rogan
Daniel Cormier is the current champion.
bryan callen
Oh, that's right.
joe rogan
I don't know why you keep saying Jon Jones.
bryan callen
Okay.
And then you've got, really, let's say, Jon Jones.
Then you've got, in the heavyweight division, it's Fabrizio Verdum.
Then you've got Robbie Lawler, who's Filipino and white.
And then you've got, at 55, Dos Anjos.
joe rogan
Why was he Filipino and white?
brendan schaub
Yes.
joe rogan
Why did I not know that?
bryan callen
Dos Anjos, then you've got...
So it's Mighty Mouse and Jon Jones.
That's it.
joe rogan
Yeah, Rafael Dos Anjos.
Well, Conor.
Yeah.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Mighty Mouse and Daniel.
ian mccall
Just the two.
joe rogan
You keep saying Jon Jones.
Daniel Cormier is the light heavyweight champion.
ian mccall
Yes, he is.
bryan callen
I apologize, Daniel.
joe rogan
He's a beast.
brendan schaub
Kind of.
unidentified
Because I watched Jon Jones beat the fuck out of him.
joe rogan
Well, he didn't beat the fuck out of him, but he beat him.
brendan schaub
Oh, I disagree.
He broke him.
joe rogan
He won.
He definitely won.
brendan schaub
He broke him.
ian mccall
When is that fight happening?
joe rogan
April 23rd, I think.
brendan schaub
There's already billboards for it.
Tickets on sale now, I think.
bryan callen
What you calling that?
joe rogan
John Jones motivated and in shape power lifting is a dangerous motherfucker, but how much of this is BS? We don't know.
brendan schaub
So he's bigger, stronger, faster with time off, and he already beat him before?
joe rogan
Well, also, it seems like he's on the straight and narrow, and he's training all the time.
brendan schaub
It seems because he's posting to Instagram?
joe rogan
I don't know, because Arlovsky, this is the only reason why I question it all, Arlovsky said he's never in the gym.
Arlowski, you know, might just not like him.
bryan callen
Who's this?
joe rogan
This is John Jones?
Yeah.
brendan schaub
When did he say that?
joe rogan
Recently.
They might be coming at different times.
Or Arlowski might have been quoted, but it might have been an older quote.
You know, he might have been, you know, talking about six months ago or four months ago.
brendan schaub
Well, all I know is John with no camp, camp doesn't fucking matter.
This dude's beating people the fuck up.
joe rogan
Well, John in shape and motivated.
You know, it's interesting.
One of the things that he said that I think was really honest and intense, he said he used to always give himself an excuse for losing.
So, like, if I lost, I'd be like, well, I didn't even really train.
Wait till I train.
But he kept winning.
You know, he was saying that this fight, he's not doing that.
And this fight, he is, like, in some serious shape.
The powerlifting shit is no joke, man.
When you're watching him do all that powerlifting...
brendan schaub
Didn't he deadlift some, like, 500 pounds?
joe rogan
Whatever it is, a lot.
But the point is, his body has obviously changed.
Like, he's been putting some serious work in.
There's no doubt about it.
You can see the physical results in his body.
brendan schaub
He's bigger.
I just...
I don't...
And I love DC. You know this, DC. I love him.
I've worked on him a ton.
I just don't see DC having the skills to beat him.
I don't see it happening.
bryan callen
What would DC have to do differently?
Because he'd have to do something different.
joe rogan
Well, train with Kane.
That's the big one.
brendan schaub
Well, he's out.
joe rogan
But Kane is injured.
unidentified
Exactly.
joe rogan
Obviously, Kane...
Yeah, but Kane...
brendan schaub
Doesn't matter.
joe rogan
Kane was a big part of his training camp.
And Kane...
Like, having Kane as...
Click on that fucking video of him kicking.
Go to that one right there.
Let me see that.
Let me see this.
brendan schaub
Look how jacked he is.
joe rogan
He's in some serious shape.
I want to see his kicks.
unidentified
Because that's a big part of his game, man.
brendan schaub
God, dawg.
joe rogan
I can help him with that.
bryan callen
He's moving his front foot first.
I'm going to have to talk to him.
joe rogan
That's what you're supposed to do, Dobby.
ian mccall
You've got to step out, man.
bryan callen
You don't have to.
joe rogan
You can just turn your shoulders.
No, you turn your fucking front foot, man.
Don't ever give me kicking advice.
bryan callen
You don't have to do that because I can see you there.
joe rogan
You don't know what you're talking about.
bryan callen
I do know what I'm talking about.
I see it all the time.
joe rogan
No, you turn your front foot first.
It's the most important part of it.
You keep your body exactly the same.
bryan callen
Or you pivot on that foot when you go up on your heel and you can get a lot of power.
brendan schaub
You guys don't want to have a kickoff.
bryan callen
I will 100% show you on a back.
Please let me show you on a back.
brendan schaub
J.R.E. kickoff.
bryan callen
You'll see.
brendan schaub
We'll go in the back after this.
joe rogan
We sure are.
He definitely could do this better, but what's important is that...
brendan schaub
We know what DC brings, that crazy, relentless pace, boxing, wrestling.
What's he gonna do?
Start kicking?
What's he gonna do different?
I'd love to hear it.
And I love DC, but...
joe rogan
We don't know how much of all the shit-talking and the emotions and all that stuff played a factor in his preparation and his execution during the fight.
We don't know.
We won't know until we see them go at it again.
We don't know how much of a factor Kane would play Because Kane's not in his camp right now because Kane got injured training for...
brendan schaub
So he's not there again.
joe rogan
Not there again.
And Kane had fucking back surgery, which is some serious shit.
He had a chunk of his disc removed.
brendan schaub
Poor dude.
joe rogan
That sucks, man.
Well, it's also not necessarily necessary because Matt Brown went through the same injury and Matt Brown didn't bother getting a surgery and CM Punk went and got surgery too and I... I've been through it, and I didn't get surgery.
But that's where I got that machine, that reverse hyper that's in the back, all the yoga that I did, all the other different...
There's a bunch of different treatments that you could do to take care of a bulging disc, and they involve lengthening your body, stretching and decompressing your spine, and it heals.
It can heal itself.
brendan schaub
Your body's supposed to be faster, right?
joe rogan
Yes, but it's also permanent, man.
You take away that chunk of disc, that chunk of disc is gone now, man.
It's gone.
brendan schaub
Would they replace it, though, correct?
joe rogan
There's no replacing a discectomy.
What Kane went through, what he's got is a bulge, right?
I'm not a doctor.
I just want to say that real quick.
So here's his back, right?
unidentified
Correct.
joe rogan
So here's his spinal column, and then he's got his discs right next to it.
Well, one of his bulging discs is pushing against his spine.
Damn.
bryan callen
Against his spinal column?
Like his...
joe rogan
His spine.
unidentified
Jesus.
joe rogan
His actual spine.
That's where you get nerve pain.
ian mccall
Spinal cord.
joe rogan
That's why you have...
That's where sciatica comes from.
And for me, I had it both places.
I had a little bit of a sciatica at one point in time, and then I had it in my fingers.
The fingers was real bad, though, but that was cervical.
When it happens, they just go in there, they open you up, they cut that piece out, and then go back.
And so now it's not pressing up against you, but you've cut a chunk of your disc out, and you have less cushioning there.
Not necessarily.
brendan schaub
Either way, that motherfucker's not back for DC. Exactly.
That's all I'm saying.
He's not going to be back.
joe rogan
He's not back for DC. Matt Brown fixed it, and Matt Brown fixed it with Louie Simmons, the same guy who created that reverse hyper.
He's in the Westside barbell.
I mean, he went through a bunch of exercises and a bunch of different things to fix it.
There's ways to fix it, depending upon, of course, how bad the injury is.
With some people, it's herniated to the point where they have to remove the disc tissue and either put a spacer in there or fuse the two discs together.
Spacer is generally thought to be...
The better move for athletics.
brendan schaub
That's what I thought they did with Kane.
joe rogan
No.
No.
They did a disectomy.
Because if they did a spacer, he's out for a long time.
Because there's no wrestling going on for a long ass time.
brendan schaub
He's out for a while though, correct?
joe rogan
Just a few months.
bryan callen
I just can't believe that Jon Jones took...
joe rogan
He took him down the first round.
I never would have thought that was possible.
That's how strong he is, too.
bryan callen
Like Frank Mir said, he's wrestling with Jon Jones.
Nobody realizes how strong.
brendan schaub
I would assume he's stronger now.
bryan callen
He's so crazy strong.
I don't know if it's leverage, but...
joe rogan
It's all the above.
He's also been wrestling.
brendan schaub
He's also a Juco national champ.
He's also a fucking nightmare.
bryan callen
Didn't he cradle Ryan Bader?
Didn't he cradle him?
Was it Bader he did that to?
Where he just put him in a cradle and just...
joe rogan
He beat the shit out of Ryan.
bryan callen
I mean...
brendan schaub
He literally beat the shit out of Ryan.
joe rogan
Didn't beat the shit out of the way Rumble did.
That was terrifying.
ian mccall
Yeah.
joe rogan
Rumble's terrifying.
He scares me more than anybody.
bryan callen
I want to see Rumble fight.
John Jones.
joe rogan
It's whether or not Rumble can continue that sort of attack.
brendan schaub
You don't think John takes him down?
People are gonna figure it out.
ian mccall
They already have figured it out.
joe rogan
Well, Daniel did.
brendan schaub
You avoid the big punch, drag him in the later rounds.
joe rogan
John's a technician.
Can a guy like him, can a guy like Rumble change?
He's obviously changed and gotten way better in avoiding the weight cut and becoming a real natural 205 pounder.
Can he change in as far as not being able to be broken the way DC broke him, the way Josh Koscheck broke him, the way Vitor Belfort broke him?
I don't think you're born with it, but it's a part of your personality.
So whether or not you allow your mind to go down those paths.
bryan callen
Sports psychologists could probably help you.
brendan schaub
I disagree.
joe rogan
Maybe.
Maybe.
Is it possible?
brendan schaub
I don't think so.
bryan callen
There have been examples.
joe rogan
But hold on a second.
brendan schaub
Who's been broke?
joe rogan
How can you say it's not possible?
Because it's mental.
If it's mental, it's most certainly possible.
brendan schaub
You don't think it's a personality trait?
joe rogan
It's not possible for me to win the high jump.
brendan schaub
That's physically impossible.
joe rogan
For him, though, it's a mind issue.
Why couldn't a man adjust the way he looks at the world?
Isn't it possible that you could, through a rigorous, disciplined Like very focused attempt to change the way you approach various scenarios and dilemmas.
Isn't it possible that you could change your thinking and wouldn't that be more likely that you could become more mentally tough than it would be that you would be like this physical freak?
brendan schaub
Because it's a physical thing and cardio brings out the weakness in people.
What are you going to do?
Are you going to put him through these crazy cardio challenges and have a mental coach there?
Now here's the point where you usually break.
Let's keep going.
joe rogan
Well, here's what I think.
First of all, I don't think he did nearly enough grappling before.
I think that was a big part of the issue.
unidentified
Not even close.
joe rogan
He was getting mad-dogged by a guy who was an Olympic-caliber wrestler in Daniel Cormier.
brendan schaub
He was just ragging him around.
I bet he did crazy wrestling.
joe rogan
No, he didn't.
I know he didn't.
Now, he's got Neil Melanson, who's a fucking giant.
Neil Melanson's huge.
brendan schaub
One of the best in the world.
Grappling coaches in the world.
joe rogan
Grappler.
brendan schaub
Might be the best.
joe rogan
Deep, deep, deep knowledge of submissions.
Also, a lot of catch.
He's really knowledgeable about catch wrestling.
unidentified
Jesus.
Phenomenal.
joe rogan
Jiu-jitsu.
Brilliant.
But he also understands big man jiu-jitsu.
He's a big motherfucker.
And if you're rolling with that guy, I guarantee you're spending some time on your back.
brendan schaub
He gave Randy Couture his black belt.
He's Randy Couture's coach forever.
joe rogan
What's his name?
Neil Melanson.
He's a stud.
This is how fucking crazy Neil Melanson.
You ready for this?
Neil Melanson had a broken toe.
They said, Neil, you're going to have to be off the mats for six months.
He goes, cut it off.
brendan schaub
The Ronnie Lott did that, yeah.
joe rogan
Dude, he had his toe cut off so he could keep rolling.
unidentified
Oh, no.
joe rogan
Come on, son.
unidentified
He had a terribly broken toe.
brendan schaub
Going back to the mental thing, with a mental coach, man, I think sometimes there's just...
I don't know, man.
I think some people, it's just in their DNA. They just break easier than others.
joe rogan
I don't think it's a DNA issue.
What I think it is, is it being a big, strong, tough guy and being used to being the hammer.
And then when you're the nail, you can't handle it and you fall apart because you're unaccustomed to it.
Rather than a guy like, here's a good example, Darren Elkins.
You can hit that motherfucker with a baseball bat and he keeps coming forward.
He's used to getting beat on.
He's not a big guy.
He's a tough guy.
brendan schaub
John Jones isn't, though.
Look at him with Josephine.
joe rogan
John Jones is a stud.
brendan schaub
Barely trained.
Was getting beat up.
joe rogan
Well, John Jones has two big brothers, and his bigger brother beat his ass all through his life, and I think he's accustomed to getting his ass beat by his big brother.
I think his brother Arthur did him a fantastic service in being bigger and kicking his ass all throughout his life.
brendan schaub
That helps for sure.
joe rogan
Fuck yeah, it does.
ian mccall
I think it goes in two ways.
Either you're born with it, like you said, or some traumatic event in your life that maybe has something to do that maybe it doesn't, but it switches on that quit in your mind and your body.
Some of it's just mental, some of it's physical, your body gives out, or your brain gives out.
I think there's multiple ways to look at it.
Obviously, Vinny Shorman could fix him.
joe rogan
Yeah, Vinny Shorman's a hypnotist.
ian mccall
Shout out to my mind coach, Vinny.
unidentified
That's what he calls himself, mind coach.
ian mccall
I think it can definitely be a learned behavior.
To quit.
Whether it's you got taught that, or you got that imposed on you, or someone made you break when you were young.
It's a habit.
brendan schaub
When he was little.
ian mccall
There's a lot of ways to go about it.
I'm not saying something bad happened in his life.
Maybe it was something good that made him say, well, fuck this, I'm out.
brendan schaub
You boys don't think at his level he's gotten a mental coach?
unidentified
A lot of ways.
brendan schaub
You don't think he's ever talked to a mental coach?
joe rogan
I'm sure he has.
There's a lot of fighters that have never gotten a mental coach.
I asked Cowboy about it, and he's like, shit.
Cowboy laughed in my face.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Catboy's never had a fucking mental coach.
Has he?
ian mccall
I don't think so.
unidentified
Hold on.
joe rogan
Do you think Catboy's had a mental coach?
brendan schaub
I don't know, man.
joe rogan
Why are you making that face?
brendan schaub
I don't know.
joe rogan
You think he's a liar?
brendan schaub
No.
joe rogan
How dare you?
bryan callen
Ian, when you're kind of against the ropes here, how do you talk to yourself?
Like, what do you do?
ian mccall
I'm my own worst enemy.
We all are.
I just fucking talk shit to myself.
It depends.
Sometimes I'm going in and I feel great, and some days I just sit there and I'm like, wow, I'm fucked.
Like going out for my last fight.
Sitting there, backstage, and just slumps in a chair.
joe rogan
Why?
ian mccall
I don't know.
joe rogan
This was after working with Vinny, though.
ian mccall
No, no, no.
I started working with Vinny after this.
And, you know, personal problems.
With me, it's always, like, women problems and shit like that.
joe rogan
Bitches and money.
unidentified
Bitch?
brendan schaub
How dare you let a girl affect your fighting?
ian mccall
Hey, I'm a pussy.
brendan schaub
Hey, let me ask you this.
ian mccall
It's happened before.
It's going to happen again.
brendan schaub
But I say this.
It's the same as any other job, and I'm sure with stand-up.
Some nights, and I felt this way, there's probably three fights.
Man, any other night, I'm down.
I just don't feel like fucking fighting tonight.
For whatever reason, I just don't feel like it.
joe rogan
Well, stand-up is way more relaxed.
brendan schaub
I know.
I'm just saying for your job.
I'm sure there's nights when you're performing for a thousand people, you're like, damn, I really don't feel like doing that.
joe rogan
And it's usually the same thing.
It's usually a girl thing.
Like, you get in a fight with your girlfriend or something like that, and you go out there, you just don't feel funny.
bryan callen
I fuck up when I have an acting job.
This is gonna sound crazy, but sometimes when you have an audition, like think about this, and it's three pages.
It's just three pages.
You can do it in your sleep.
Guess what?
It's the network test.
You go in there, there are probably 15 people.
brendan schaub
Showtime.
bryan callen
All you have to do is just do three pages.
I've gotten myself there.
It's between me and another guy.
If I get it, I will make a million dollars.
I will make one million dollars for the year and I won't have to work for it.
It's a sitcom.
I'll make a million dollars.
Just do what you did.
Just do three pages.
It's no big deal.
It's like, don't miss that putt.
That's when I get nervous.
That's when I fuck myself.
joe rogan
See, when I went out for news radio, there was two auditions for news radio.
One was a cattle call.
It was like 100 people.
It was a giant long line.
And I had a development deal with NBC, and I just didn't know that I was going to be a part of a cattle call.
I was like, this is crazy.
And I went in, and the script was not funny.
Like, on purpose.
They had decided to write it where they were going to weed out all the hams.
They didn't want anybody to read it like...
What am I supposed to do?
They wanted to weed out all that shit.
So I went in, I read it, and I remember I talked to my manager.
He's like, how'd it go?
I go, man, the script wasn't funny.
I mean, I just, I pretended it was really happening.
That's all I did.
I just did it like it was really happening.
And so then...
There was only a few people that apparently made the cut and then I went in there for the second audition It was me and three other dudes who looked like they were about to fucking ship off to Vietnam They were sweating and they were pale and you know, I was 26 at the time So I was only like four years removed from my last fight or something like that And I looked at all these guys all nervous and sweaty and I sat on the couch and And I put my feet up and I didn't even read the script.
I just sat back and I did it like in front of them.
brendan schaub
What's up, bitch?
joe rogan
I was like, you fucking pussies.
benjamin jaffe
You guys don't know how to perform under pressure.
joe rogan
I go, this is gonna be great.
bryan callen
Mind game.
joe rogan
And I sat there and I like looked at the script a little bit.
I'm like, shit.
And it was funny.
bryan callen
That's the way to do it.
joe rogan
And I had prepared so I knew that it was funny.
So I was ready.
But when I saw these guys all sweaty, it was like there was three or four guys I think, but they looked like they were just fucking terrified.
One guy was doing it.
brendan schaub
He was like...
joe rogan
He was like practicing by himself.
I'm like, that bitch ain't getting it.
And I looked at the other guy.
The other guy looked like he was about to get shot.
They looked like they were about to die.
And so that alone gave me massive confidence.
And I went in there super loose.
Super loose and relaxed.
Because I'm like, if it's between me and these pussies, I'm like, I got it for sure.
brendan schaub
And they can sense that confidence too.
bryan callen
That's the way to do it.
joe rogan
Well, I did it on purpose for the guys.
It was like I was competing against these guys.
I was like, I'm going to make these guys.
brendan schaub
Fuck yeah.
That's a huge advantage.
bryan callen
But I never get, I don't get, I'm not nervous by nature.
I don't get nervous when I have to perform ever.
And that's the only time because my mind is telling myself it's so ridiculous to be nervous that I'm literally sabotaging myself.
brendan schaub
It's not ridiculous to be nervous.
It's not ridiculous.
unidentified
I don't know, man.
brendan schaub
It means you care and you want to.
bryan callen
I don't do well when I'm nervous.
joe rogan
You're thinking about the wrong thing.
bryan callen
I'm thinking about the wrong thing.
joe rogan
You're not being in the moment.
You're thinking about the consequences.
They can't do that.
brendan schaub
You're doing it for the wrong reason then.
joe rogan
Yeah, you're doing it for the wrong reason.
Because I don't want to act.
brendan schaub
Then you shouldn't be there.
joe rogan
I know that.
brendan schaub
I've never once gotten in the fight being like, God, the money I'm going to make or if I win.
I've never once ever in my life thought about it.
bryan callen
I think it's because I'm lying.
I think it's because I'm lying to myself when I go into those auditions.
I go all the way.
And then I get in there, and now I just do this, and I think it's because I'm being a liar.
brendan schaub
You might be self-sabotaging yourself.
bryan callen
I am!
brendan schaub
Because you don't want to be there.
bryan callen
Right, because I've never done an acting job where I didn't want it to end.
joe rogan
You say you don't, but at one point in time, you Deeply wanted to be on a sitcom.
It was all you wanted to do.
You weren't even doing stand-up for a big part of our friendship.
bryan callen
Yeah, I was acting a lot.
I was doing a lot of plays.
joe rogan
I was doing a lot of TV. You were also pretending to be an actor.
bryan callen
It was gross.
joe rogan
I know.
You would talk like one of them.
bryan callen
Don't get carried away.
I'd talk like one of them.
joe rogan
A little bit.
bryan callen
A little bit.
joe rogan
Did he count me like executives?
unidentified
A little bit!
joe rogan
When he's around executives, he was talking about a woman.
Any time someone would bring up a woman, he would immediately be super progressive and overemphasize how good she is.
She's amazing!
bryan callen
Oh my god, she's amazing.
joe rogan
And I'd be like, what?
She's not that good.
What are you talking about?
He would be talking about a female comedian.
brendan schaub
I can't believe you guys were friends from the jump.
That's what's crazy to me.
joe rogan
Right off the bat.
bryan callen
Because we never bullshitted each other.
I mean...
I wasn't pulling the wool over his eyes.
joe rogan
Oh my god.
He was in the worst environment.
The worst environment, in my opinion, is those sketch shows.
Because everybody's scrambling and being competitive.
josh olin
And he was the only one that was cool.
joe rogan
Well, him and Artie.
Artie was cool as fuck.
Artie Lang.
And it was him and Artie Lang were the only ones, and me and Artie had a scene together, and I had a scene with Brian, but then there was all these other people that were on the set that were brutal.
brendan schaub
This is MADtv?
joe rogan
Oh my god.
bryan callen
They were mean to him.
He was our guest.
joe rogan
They weren't mean to me.
No.
Everybody was fine with it.
brendan schaub
If you look back at those videos, I think I sent you the picture.
You guys are so young.
We're young.
unidentified
We're in our 20s.
brendan schaub
I couldn't believe it.
joe rogan
We're in our 20s.
bryan callen
I've known Joe since I was 27, dude.
brendan schaub
It's so funny.
joe rogan
Look at us.
brendan schaub
Yes, that's it.
joe rogan
Look at my hair.
It's so beautiful.
I miss it so much.
brendan schaub
Look at Callan.
I miss it so much.
bryan callen
Goddamn you.
joe rogan
That chick was really funny, man.
What was her name?
bryan callen
That's Mary Shearer.
The great Mary Shearer, who to this day is the funniest female actor.
She's probably the most talented person I've ever worked with.
joe rogan
She was so funny.
ian mccall
You're so buff back then.
bryan callen
I have a beautiful body.
I'm going to take my shirt off after this podcast.
joe rogan
He was a pool boy.
He had this great character that would dance around.
Was that a wig you were wearing?
Yes, it was.
bryan callen
That was a wig.
I got a lot of gay fan mail and a lot of fan mail from jail.
I'm not kidding.
I still have the letters I got from jail.
unidentified
From jail?
bryan callen
Yep.
joe rogan
That woman, she used to wear like leather skin makeup to make herself look like she was over tanned and she had this crazy character.
bryan callen
We had Jennifer Aspinall who is a multi Emmy award winning makeup artist and she did like magical shit.
brendan schaub
Joe, when did you decide acting, just fuck acting?
joe rogan
Well, I really loved news radio.
And I loved it because it was just the best case scenario.
Fantastic writing, great, talented actors, you know, all the above.
And it never was successful, which is perfect.
Because everybody had to keep trying and nobody ever got a big head.
It never made it.
It barely putt, putt, putt, barely stayed alive.
It was a perfect environment with some really talented people.
bryan callen
Still one of the greatest sitcoms ever in my opinion.
brendan schaub
But you enjoyed the whole process?
joe rogan
I didn't enjoy it as much as I enjoyed stand-up, but I enjoyed it immensely.
And way more than I enjoyed any other things after that.
After that, I had development deals for like a year or two.
brendan schaub
Which means what?
joe rogan
They give you some money and they try to put together a sitcom.
And it's based around you.
And then I got a chance to see what it's like.
Actors are like the worst comedians without punchlines.
Like, the worst comedians meaning not like the worst, like not funny, but mean the most crazy, the most neurotic.
And the actual act itself of auditioning and trying to get gigs, it enforces that.
You're always trying to get people to love you.
brendan schaub
You're always looking for approval.
joe rogan
Well, you can never just be at peace.
You're always worried that you have to say the right thing.
You have to be liberal.
If you're not liberal, if you are a Republican, you better be fucking uber successful before you come out as a Republican.
You have to say those things.
You have to be super progressive.
You have to be super left-wing.
And you also, you gotta play this bullshit political game where everybody's fake.
They're all saying fake things and it feels so gross.
And coming from comedy from the East Coast, doing stand-up, from going from fighting and then stand-up to this.
brendan schaub
I can't see you being an actor.
That's why I'm like, what the fuck?
I can't see you.
joe rogan
You did it for five years.
brendan schaub
That's insane.
bryan callen
I get my throat gets tight when we start talking about it.
I think it's because it's all...
brendan schaub
Nothing drives me more nuts when guys pose, especially if they're not fighters.
If they're fighters, I get it.
It's the thing, but when they put their fist up for a picture.
I told Brian, I go, what the fuck is this?
We both know this guy.
It's a picture of him and his friend with their fist up.
I go, why the fuck do people do this?
What is this?
They're just tools.
You will never see me put my fist up anymore.
I never do it.
joe rogan
It's a tool move.
brendan schaub
It's so weird to me.
joe rogan
People have asked me to do it with them.
Hey, put your fist up for this picture.
I go, no.
brendan schaub
Can't do it.
unidentified
No.
ian mccall
They always want to square off with me and fucking get in my leg.
joe rogan
No.
No.
Come on.
brendan schaub
The fist.
But you'll see big dudes.
I'm not going to say who the guy is, but he's a big guy in the pictures on Instagram.
joe rogan
He's like, ugh.
brendan schaub
I told Brian, why the fuck you think he does that?
He goes, because he's not really tough.
It's like an ego thing.
joe rogan
Well, it's also like a culture thing.
They think that it's a cool way to stand.
unidentified
I don't know.
joe rogan
It's like doing this, doing the shaka.
brendan schaub
Oh, I'd take the shaka.
Yeah, shaka's cool.
joe rogan
That's fun, but I'm saying it's like that's one of those things.
brendan schaub
I see what you're saying.
joe rogan
Like other people are doing the shaka.
You do the shaka.
It's like the Will Ferrell thing in Talladega Nights.
I don't know what to do with my hands.
brendan schaub
Starts covering his face.
It's his first interview.
joe rogan
I fucking love that movie.
brendan schaub
He's like, you know, I don't know what to do with my head.
joe rogan
God, I love that movie.
brendan schaub
Fuck, yeah, I love that movie.
joe rogan
Tom Cruise, use your witchcraft!
unidentified
I'm on fire!
joe rogan
I'm on fire!
ian mccall
I like how they put the view right in his face too and he's running around.
joe rogan
I love how his buddy's in his house and he can't figure out how to work his system because his buddy's banging his wife now.
unidentified
He calls him and he goes, hey, how do you turn on the radio?
brendan schaub
What do you want to listen to the radio and the TV at the same time?
Because I like to party.
unidentified
He's in his house and he fucking cut out his picture and put his head on his family's picture.
joe rogan
How about when he's paralyzed?
brendan schaub
When he's paralyzed, they're like, you're not paralyzed.
He's in the hospital.
bryan callen
They stab a knife in his...
brendan schaub
That and Stepbrothers, man.
bryan callen
He stays amazing.
Will Ferrell is just...
His ability...
And John C. Reilly, too.
Nobody has a bad thing to say about him.
brendan schaub
John C. Reilly's a beast.
joe rogan
Will Ferrell's a great guy.
He's a great guy.
bryan callen
Competitive, too.
I have friends who played golf with him, and they're like, he's a competitive guy.
He's not letting you win.
joe rogan
Yeah.
That was such a great movie.
bryan callen
Look at his eyes.
Look at his eyes and the intensity.
joe rogan
And that girl, Leslie Bibb, that was in that movie.
brendan schaub
Oh, she's great.
joe rogan
I did Zookeeper with her.
She played my girlfriend in that movie Zookeeper.
And there's a movie that I did, but I only did because Kevin James, my buddy, and he asked me to do it.
I didn't have to audition.
He just asked me to do it.
brendan schaub
But you're not...
You're acting, but you're not like a character.
joe rogan
Yeah, that's the other one.
Here Comes the Boom, I played myself.
ian mccall
That's right.
joe rogan
That was when he was going to be an MMA fighter.
ian mccall
That's right.
joe rogan
I only had like a couple scenes in that one.
brendan schaub
There's a bunch of guys in there.
Mayhem Miller.
joe rogan
Yep, yep.
Kristoff.
Boss Ruten.
ian mccall
Just a paycheck at that point, right?
joe rogan
Well, this is a buddy of mine asking me to do something.
But the Zookeeper one was fun.
And it was a kid's movie.
And I was like, that'd be cool for my kids to see.
brendan schaub
That's cool.
joe rogan
It's silly.
It's a bunch of monkeys talking to me.
brendan schaub
Cal and I have been doing this thing with Firing the Kid for Fox, these episodes.
And to me, acting is so...
I don't understand.
It's like music actors.
It's so mysterious.
joe rogan
Athletes?
brendan schaub
Whatever, man.
I don't give a fuck.
I get how they get their hard work, talent.
But the acting to me is so...
It's so different.
They're like...
bryan callen
You're doing a good job.
brendan schaub
They're aliens to me.
joe rogan
It's a weird occupation.
It's very weird.
And people take it so goddamn seriously.
And they think it's so special when people do so well.
Chris Rock had a great line that he was preparing before he was doing the Oscars.
He was like, if you go to see the Grammys, they're singing.
The Oscars, they don't even act.
brendan schaub
No one does anything.
unidentified
They don't act.
joe rogan
They don't do shit.
It's the most boring award show.
He's like, I've hosted it twice.
I don't know what the fuck's going on.
brendan schaub
It's true.
How crunk were people that Leonardo DiCaprio won?
You probably don't even watch it, but people were so crunk that this guy with 275 million won.
Even I was crunk.
bryan callen
Who cares?
brendan schaub
Yeah, it's insane.
unidentified
Who cares?
joe rogan
It's an award.
It's an award for your make-believe.
You're really good at make-believe.
ian mccall
You guys came to each other.
joe rogan
I just don't care.
I like movies, but the award shows to me are so nonsensical.
Whether it's award shows for comedy or award shows for music, I don't fucking care.
It doesn't make any sense to me.
Here's the reward.
Do people like it?
Do they go to see your movie?
Do they enjoy it?
Then you win.
It's like this idea that there's one better movie than all the other movies is stupid.
brendan schaub
That is weird.
bryan callen
It's a human thing to crown a champion.
joe rogan
How the fuck did Ex Machina not win?
How did that not win best movie?
bryan callen
I didn't see it.
brendan schaub
Over the Reverend?
joe rogan
Yes!
brendan schaub
Excuse me, sir.
joe rogan
I didn't see Reverend.
How dare you.
brendan schaub
I know, I always throw an R on there.
I have a speech impediment.
I was throwing an R on there.
bryan callen
Ex Machina was a really good movie?
ian mccall
Yep.
It was slow, but I liked it.
joe rogan
Ex Machina was amazing.
brendan schaub
Not better than Reverend.
bryan callen
I didn't see it.
Revenant didn't do it for me, man.
The story.
ian mccall
I gotta go watch it.
joe rogan
I didn't see it, so I can't comment.
bryan callen
Didn't care about any of the characters.
joe rogan
Was Ex Machina in the running for best movie?
brendan schaub
Uh, no.
unidentified
That's a hard no.
joe rogan
Then your movie theater thing is bullshit.
brendan schaub
Your ratings are bullshit.
joe rogan
Your movie theater bullshit is bullshit.
brendan schaub
Mad Max fucking cleaned up, though.
unidentified
What?
brendan schaub
Mad Max.
joe rogan
See, that was a movie I thought was pretty good.
unidentified
I thought it was alright.
joe rogan
It was fun.
brendan schaub
It's a remake.
bryan callen
Pretty unique, though.
joe rogan
It was fun.
brendan schaub
Not really.
It's a remake.
joe rogan
I knew what was going to happen.
brendan schaub
Me too.
bryan callen
Who's going to survive?
joe rogan
Ex Machina, I did not know what the fuck was going to happen, and I was wrong at the end.
bryan callen
I've got to see this.
Don't tell me anything I've got to see.
joe rogan
Ex Machina is a goddamn great movie.
bryan callen
They were nominated for a bunch of special effects awards.
brendan schaub
Not this Oscar.
joe rogan
I think they won something for special effects.
brendan schaub
Did they, James?
I don't think so.
joe rogan
Did it win?
brendan schaub
I didn't see a sniff of that movie.
That movie is not allowed in that.
bryan callen
Did you see it?
joe rogan
Have you seen it?
brendan schaub
No.
bryan callen
Hey, man.
joe rogan
Goddamn, it's good.
unidentified
Hey, man.
joe rogan
It's a goddamn good movie.
brendan schaub
Dude, you know what I can't get enough of, and I highly doubt anyone here is watching, but it's the O.J. Simpson thing on FX. Everybody keeps telling me that!
joe rogan
I was at the store the other night, and they had it in the back comics bar.
They were watching it, and Cuba Gunning Jr. plays OJ, which I did not know.
I was like, what?
brendan schaub
Dude, Johnny Cochran in that movie, when a guy gives a racist thing, it is...
joe rogan
Oscar win is a triumph.
What is it?
brendan schaub
For low budget.
joe rogan
Visual effects.
Ah, well, it should have.
brendan schaub
Boom, there you go.
joe rogan
It should have won for visual effects.
It's a goddamn fan.
That's this year?
Fantastic movie.
bryan callen
I'm gonna watch it.
joe rogan
It's a fantastic movie.
It's one of my all-time favorite movies.
brendan schaub
Wait, does it happen in space?
joe rogan
Oh, yeah.
No, no, no, no, no.
No, it's about artificial intelligence.
It's about a guy who builds artificial people.
It's fucking amazing.
brendan schaub
Did you see AI with Will Smith?
Is that what it's called, AI? It's not the same.
ian mccall
This is way better.
unidentified
Robot.
joe rogan
No, that was good.
ian mccall
Robot was good.
joe rogan
That was good.
This is way better.
brendan schaub
Really?
joe rogan
It's one of the best movies I've ever seen.
ian mccall
Completely different movie, though.
joe rogan
It's in my top ten all-time favorite movies.
brendan schaub
Goddamn, Rogan.
joe rogan
100%.
It's right up there with Apocalypse Now to me.
For real.
brendan schaub
Shit, son.
joe rogan
It's a great movie.
It's also the implications.
People right now scream, you fucking piece of shit!
It's opinions, ladies and gentlemen.
unidentified
We all have opinions.
brendan schaub
That's what you like.
joe rogan
But there's something about it also to me because this is a subject that I am engrossed in.
Almost every day I read about artificial intelligence.
Every day, I get up, I go to Scientific American, I go to all these different websites, and I search.
I will look up artificial intelligence, go to news, read the latest shit, and is one of the main subjects that repeats in my mind like a metronome all day long.
brendan schaub
That's your thing.
So that's why you love the movie.
joe rogan
It's going to change our entire paradigm.
I think it's going to be the future of government.
I really do.
I think we're going to have rules that are established by artificial intelligence, and that's going to be how we decide and act and how we decide and make choices.
brendan schaub
Damn, the robots are going to start running shit?
joe rogan
I really do believe that.
I think that's going to be the solution to the cult of personality that we're dealing with right now with Donald Trump being the frontrunner for president.
brendan schaub
How crazy is that?
joe rogan
I've got to tell you right now, Hillary Clinton is not going to beat Donald Trump.
brendan schaub
That's what I say, Joe.
bryan callen
Yes, she is.
joe rogan
No, she's not.
unidentified
I disagree.
bryan callen
He doesn't have a chance.
joe rogan
You're out of your mind.
unidentified
That's crazy.
bryan callen
That's what I was telling you, Brian.
The numbers, any political opponent, the numbers just don't add up for Trump.
joe rogan
That's not true.
brendan schaub
That's not true at all.
joe rogan
They were saying the numbers didn't add up for him six months ago when they said he didn't have a chance.
bryan callen
He's the frontrunner by far right now.
Unless something changes...
joe rogan
He's got to say this in order to get acting gigs.
unidentified
I don't like either one.
brendan schaub
Look up the numbers, Jamie.
bryan callen
I don't like either one.
brendan schaub
Hey Brian, I don't have a dog in the following.
I don't like either of them.
bryan callen
Let me make a statement.
joe rogan
Before you make the statement, Jamie, look up the numbers.
Hillary Clinton's support approval rating versus Donald Trump.
brendan schaub
Let's just look at this and then you comment before you go.
bryan callen
She's going to win the election.
joe rogan
First of all, she has huge problems in that she's involved in a criminal investigation.
bryan callen
She might be indicted.
That's a big issue.
That's the black swan.
joe rogan
And the big fucking issue is that email thing.
I had Mike Baker on, formerly CIA operative, and he was on yesterday and he was saying, anybody else, he said if it was me that did the same thing she did, I'd be in jail.
He was talking about how they cut and pasted.
Okay, let's see what we got here.
What is the red and what is the blue?
jamie vernon
Red's Trump, blue's Clinton.
joe rogan
So she's way ahead of him?
brendan schaub
No.
43 to 46. 43 to 46 percent.
joe rogan
What is that graph then?
Why is she above him?
What is that representing?
unidentified
It's time.
joe rogan
I don't understand that graph.
What does that graph mean, then?
jamie vernon
Percentage of votes?
unidentified
Poll average?
bryan callen
She's way ahead in African Americans and in Latino votes, and there's no way he's going to close that gap.
brendan schaub
Well, she's 3% ahead.
bryan callen
She's also got the majority of the Democrats, from what I understand.
Trump is having a tough time with women, too.
joe rogan
Who's going to be with her and who's going to be with him?
brendan schaub
I can't believe those are the only two.
ian mccall
Everybody will be with Trump except for...
joe rogan
No, I mean running mates.
ian mccall
Oh, running mates.
joe rogan
Yeah.
Who's gonna be his running mate?
brendan schaub
Chris Christie.
joe rogan
No fucking way is that fat slob getting in.
brendan schaub
He endorsed him.
His fat ass endorsed him.
joe rogan
Who cares?
Because you can't.
You can't.
No.
You can't have an addict.
By the way, that guy's an addict.
brendan schaub
With food?
joe rogan
Yes, he's an addict.
There's no question about it.
That guy got his stomach stapled and he's still fat.
brendan schaub
He's crazy fat.
ian mccall
Did he burst through it?
joe rogan
Yes, I'm sure.
brendan schaub
Did you see him pitching at the baseball game?
ian mccall
He's disgusting.
brendan schaub
Awesome.
joe rogan
But he's eating terrible foods.
It's a terrible thing.
And I'm not fat shaming.
But I'm saying if you're going to have a leader, you cannot have a leader who's, by the way, hugely anti-marijuana.
unidentified
He said, marijuana, if I'm the president, we're going to outlaw all this stuff.
joe rogan
You fucking dummy.
You don't even understand what you're talking about.
brendan schaub
Outlaw fast food, you fatty.
joe rogan
You're doing something that's way worse for your body than marijuana ever will be.
unidentified
Preach.
joe rogan
I just don't understand who he's going to be running with.
bryan callen
See this?
joe rogan
If it's Rubio, he's got a real chance.
bryan callen
Look at this right here.
Super Tuesday could do him the GOPS poll show both Clinton and Sanders smoking Trump.
joe rogan
Hmm.
bryan callen
It's not gonna happen.
Sorry, Donald Trump's not gonna be the president unless something crazy happens.
joe rogan
To doom the GOP. Bernie Sanders beat Trump?
What does that mean?
But that's polls, man.
Polls are only people willing to answer polls.
And they were really bad.
Polls used to be representative of the winner.
They would go exit polls.
They were so off with Bush versus Kerry.
They were so off that they haven't been accurate.
unidentified
It's not just polls.
bryan callen
They're just numbers.
I mean, most of the political opponents who really are in the know.
joe rogan
When Brian's bullshitting, he does this thing where he calms down, and instead of getting emotional, he's just like, well, there's more.
bryan callen
I get very calm.
joe rogan
He gets, like, I think his dad used to, like, chastise him, and he would say something stupid.
His dad would talk calmly.
bryan callen
No, my dad would do the opposite.
Oh, no, my dad would yell?
Oh, no, no, he wouldn't do that.
No, my father would do this.
Go ahead and start making a point.
Watch this.
joe rogan
Look at this.
Christie faces calls to quit.
Approval drop after backing Trump.
I wonder why.
jamie vernon
Six newspapers calling for him to resign.
joe rogan
What are fucking newspapers?
Who are they?
People with opinions?
Why are they asking him to resign?
Resign what, though?
As a governor of New Jersey?
brendan schaub
Yeah.
joe rogan
Why?
brendan schaub
For endorsing Trump?
joe rogan
He's just not a good leader.
He's not a wise man.
He says foolish things.
bryan callen
Who's this, Trump?
joe rogan
No, Christie.
I think Trump is more of a showman.
bryan callen
A narcissist.
brendan schaub
Trump's an entertainer.
joe rogan
Christie says foolish things.
He says foolish things that aren't backed by science.
He's very discriminatory when it comes to my beloved marijuana.
brendan schaub
I can't listen to Chris Christie.
bryan callen
I don't agree with that.
joe rogan
I think that's a little harsh.
No, he's no discipline.
bryan callen
Winston Churchill drank and had a weight problem.
joe rogan
First of all, that's English.
bryan callen
The idea that somebody has a weight problem and they wouldn't be an effective leader to me doesn't hold water at all.
brendan schaub
Really?
Who's the fattest president we've ever had?
bryan callen
Who's the obese president we've ever had?
That's not an effective argument.
brendan schaub
We've never had an obese president.
bryan callen
People are prejudicial when they vote.
joe rogan
Winston Churchill was from a long time ago, and alcohol was celebrated then as a manly thing to consume.
bryan callen
If you took the fat ratio, if you took whatever it is, the body fat test on some of the CEOs or great inventors or scientists or whatever they were, I don't know that you would find...
brendan schaub
I'm talking about presidents.
joe rogan
You don't have any numbers.
brendan schaub
There's no fat president.
joe rogan
Yeah, but you don't have any numbers right now.
brendan schaub
There's never been a fat president.
bryan callen
But I mean the idea that because somebody's fat means that they are...
joe rogan
Yes, he has no discipline.
That guy's not just fat.
bryan callen
That's just not true.
joe rogan
First of all.
bryan callen
That's not true.
joe rogan
Hold on.
He's not just fat.
bryan callen
Ridiculous.
joe rogan
Hold on.
He's not just fat.
He's a fat guy who's undergone an operation to not be fat anymore and he's still fat.
bryan callen
Well, I'm saying that you can be not disciplined in one area of our life, but have a huge brain and a huge intellect.
joe rogan
Right, but he doesn't have that either.
But he says foolish things and he's fat.
bryan callen
He's a different story.
I'm just saying in general, when you generalize and say I could not vote for somebody or take somebody seriously as a leader because they're fat, for me, I disagree.
unidentified
For me, it's discriminatory.
joe rogan
Yes, it is.
But it's also judging someone based on their own personal choices.
The choices that you make to be an addict and to not seek out healthy food and to seek out body harmony.
His body is out of whack.
He's, like, grossly overweight, and he went through going under.
Like, he gave in saying that, like, I don't have the discipline to deal with my issue, so what I'm going to do is go to a doctor and get cut open so my stomach is smaller.
bryan callen
Doesn't matter.
There are a lot of great writers.
Stop what you're saying.
Stephen King had a major alcohol problem.
unidentified
Hold on.
joe rogan
Don't say that that doesn't matter.
That's not real.
What do you mean?
The major alcohol problem that he had was a part of his creative process and that he recognized was a giant- He also wrote books!
unidentified
Yes it was!
bryan callen
I read his book!
joe rogan
I read his book on writing!
bryan callen
So I read that book too and what did he say in the book?
joe rogan
He talked about how he used to drink and do coke and he would find these fucking- It was a part of his process.
He realized it was killing him.
He stopped doing it!
Christie is still eating like a pig!
bryan callen
Stephen King makes a very important statement.
joe rogan
That's not a leader.
brendan schaub
He's an artist.
He's an artist.
He's not a leader of the fucking United States.
bryan callen
I understand if you don't want to vote for your leader because he's heavy.
What I'm saying is that the idea that somebody wouldn't be effective because they have a weight problem is erroneous.
It doesn't hold water.
brendan schaub
And I'm saying just tell me the biggest president we've ever had and go.
Who's the most obese president?
bryan callen
That's not a good argument though, Brennan, because we don't have a bald president with the exception of Ford.
joe rogan
He was pretty fat.
brendan schaub
He's thicker than a Snickers right there.
joe rogan
Was he good?
brendan schaub
Especially back then.
ian mccall
He's jolly.
joe rogan
He's huge, but was he a good president?
unidentified
That was also a really long time ago, too.
Yeah.
bryan callen
And Taft was only in power for a very short period of time.
joe rogan
It was also back when people were starving to death.
bryan callen
Yeah.
joe rogan
Like, when you were fat, it was awesome.
ian mccall
When people like that were just eating, exactly, eating and eating and eating and being rich.
bryan callen
I think I'm reacting to the fact that we live in a culture now where, you know...
brendan schaub
There's body shaming?
bryan callen
Yeah.
unidentified
Look at that, though.
bryan callen
Look at that.
brendan schaub
Fuck you, Count.
You want that as your president?
unidentified
Fuck you.
joe rogan
Get the fuck out of here.
bryan callen
That's not looking so good.
joe rogan
He's also got this, like, upper cock fat that is so unappetizing.
bryan callen
He's got a gut.
brendan schaub
It's called a fupa.
It's called a fupa.
joe rogan
Yeah, the upper cock fat.
I mean, come on.
bryan callen
Gee whiz, that's a terrible...
brendan schaub
Go meet with the other leaders of the world.
bryan callen
You might be right, guys.
joe rogan
This is also post-surgery.
bryan callen
Yeah.
joe rogan
You have to understand the discipline issue.
It's a real discipline issue.
brendan schaub
Dude, I fired an agent.
We were talking on the phone.
He was great on paper.
I met him in person.
I've seen he was letting some stuff slip.
I'm like, oh, that's weird.
Me in person, he's 400 pounds.
Gotta let you go, man.
Obviously, there's some sort of discipline issue.
There has to be.
bryan callen
But you can be indisciplined on one side of your life and very disciplined in others.
joe rogan
That is true.
bryan callen
It's compartmentalized.
And sometimes you do have an issue, and clearly that is a food issue.
brendan schaub
I'm saying I don't want the President of the United States struggling with his diet when he has to make these huge decisions.
unidentified
When that's the biggest fight in his life and his health is in danger.
bryan callen
King makes an interesting distinction just when we brought him up and he said, I was a very talented guy with a substance abuse problem.
That's what he said.
And he said a lot of people make the mistake of saying that my substance abuse was the reason I was so talented.
He said, not true.
joe rogan
No, that's not necessarily what he said.
What he said was that the creative process was enhanced by his substance abuse problem.
He says that's not the case.
I'm a Stephen King fan.
His shit that he wrote when he was fucked up was better.
brendan schaub
Way better.
bryan callen
He got shitty when he was sober.
brendan schaub
He's also an artist.
Big difference, man.
I want my artist doing some weird shit.
joe rogan
I wouldn't want Stephen King when he was coked up balancing my checkbook.
ian mccall
But expanding your mind, he's got to get in there.
joe rogan
You need to have fucking discipline to be a president.
You need to be a healthy person.
You also need to be a role model.
It's a figurehead for the United States of America.
It's not as simple as...
brendan schaub
I see what you're saying, though.
bryan callen
Jack Kennedy was It was a huge womanizer.
brendan schaub
I want that as my president.
joe rogan
It's a different thing, man.
It's a different thing, first of all, and we didn't know.
No one knew back then.
brendan schaub
Martin Luther King.
joe rogan
We know he's a slob.
It's like right in front of his face.
It's a different world back then.
The world was different.
bryan callen
But you could also say it was a breakdown in self-control, right?
In one way or another.
joe rogan
Maybe, or it was just standard operational procedure.
brendan schaub
You also don't become a leader by just dating one chick.
bryan callen
Well, that's what I'm saying.
joe rogan
They were dick-slingers.
They were presidential dick-slingers.
bryan callen
His dick-slinging might be food, though, is what I'm saying.
joe rogan
Well, it's a different thing, though, because it wasn't interfering with his health.
Like, Christie's physical body is massively falling apart.
And the guy got a fucking operation, and it didn't do much.
I mean, he's still grossly overweight.
I mean, he used to be way bigger.
brendan schaub
That doesn't bother you at all, Callan?
I almost want my president a superhero.
joe rogan
I feel like you're kind of being a contrarian here.
bryan callen
No, no, no.
I actually don't know if it bothers me or not.
joe rogan
Well, let me tell you.
bryan callen
I understand your point.
unidentified
Try to explore it.
bryan callen
And I think it's a good point.
joe rogan
Explore it.
What it doesn't bother you.
You say you don't know if it bothers you.
brendan schaub
Explore it.
Because health is important for presidents.
They have to go through all those health checks.
That's why Trump came out and they said, fuck, they said, I'm in great shape.
joe rogan
What's up?
brendan schaub
President Obama, beast and shit.
bryan callen
I'm not trying to be a contrarian at all.
I understand and respect somebody's point of view where they say, you know what?
You are not able to control your own biology.
Therefore, I wonder what your judgment would be like as a leader.
100% valid.
joe rogan
Well, you're judging a person when they're running for president.
You're 100% judging them.
And he falls massively short in the department of taking care of his own physical being.
bryan callen
Most of us, and we know that most of us when we hire somebody, if one guy's in shape, the other guy's not, we're going to just instinctively go, we're going to make those conclusions.
In a way, it's fair in terms of how you look at the world, where you say, you know what?
If you can't control your own biology, I wonder what else you can't control.
And as a fat person, you know you're walking into that or at least have to take responsibility for whatever the world judges you as.
joe rogan
I don't buy this.
It's a so hard thing.
I just don't buy it.
bryan callen
Well, I don't know.
joe rogan
I just fucking lost 10 pounds.
I wasn't even fat.
bryan callen
It's different, Joe.
joe rogan
It's different.
Why is it different?
brendan schaub
You're saying even if he's overweight, you can still make good decisions.
joe rogan
Why is it different?
Why is it different for me than it is for him?
bryan callen
I'll tell you how.
I think some people, for example, have a predilection not only to put on weight because their endocrine system is just whacked, but also some people do have addictions, and addictions are very powerful.
joe rogan
That's what I said.
He's an addict.
bryan callen
Yeah.
brendan schaub
I don't want an addict as my president, though, is what I'm telling you, Callan.
joe rogan
Whether it's drugs, alcohol, women, food.
bryan callen
What I'm saying is that we live in a culture now that just puts so much emphasis on the physical.
And I think there are a lot of people who have been overweight and who have eaten too much or had a thing for sugar who still are incredibly beneficial to society and have invented things and done things that, you know, they were huge intellects.
unidentified
Like Michael Moore.
bryan callen
They were huge intellects.
Yeah, well, that's a different story.
But there were huge intellects.
joe rogan
Yeah, well, there's a lot of smart people that are fat, for sure.
But you don't want them running the big show.
There's a difference between someone who's a really smart, fat person who's a great singer or a smart, fat person who's really good at telling jokes.
There's a big difference between that and a fucking president.
A president is not just a guy who can talk to this guy and make good decisions.
He's a fucking figurehead for the United States of America, the greatest superpower the world has ever known.
For us to say Chris Christie's the best we could do is a disgrace.
bryan callen
It's not a different subject.
joe rogan
It's not a different subject at all.
brendan schaub
You have to cover all your bases.
joe rogan
It's exactly the subject.
bryan callen
What's that?
You're talking specifically about Chris Christie.
I'm talking about somebody with a weight problem.
joe rogan
Yes, that's what we talked about.
We talked about a massively obese guy.
No, no.
bryan callen
I reacted to, I don't know if I could, I don't want to vote for somebody who looks like that.
joe rogan
Like him!
Yeah, him!
bryan callen
And for me, it wouldn't make as much difference.
brendan schaub
Well, he's the only one in the race who's obese.
joe rogan
Yeah, but Brian, you're arguing semantics now, because that's the one guy who looks like that.
brendan schaub
He's the only guy.
joe rogan
I mean, Trump's not skinny.
He's a fat fuck, too.
If you saw Trump without his clothes on, you'd throw up.
bryan callen
Exactly.
brendan schaub
Trump compared to him, though, is a fucking...
joe rogan
Welcome to my nightmare, all those guys together.
Look, I saw...
I'm sure there's...
brendan schaub
Rubio flexing on them fools.
bryan callen
Yeah.
joe rogan
First of all, who are those other people?
It's Ted Cruz.
bryan callen
Chris Christie.
Marco Rubio.
joe rogan
Rand Paul.
bryan callen
Carson.
brendan schaub
Yeah, Ben Carson.
joe rogan
Who's that other guy?
bryan callen
I think Dennis Kasich.
I think that's Dennis Kasich.
He's the governor of Ohio.
He's done a very good job.
Then you have Donald Trump.
How about Jeb Bush?
joe rogan
He knows he's alive.
Even people in Ohio aren't voting for that guy.
bryan callen
Jeb Bush has always put on weight, too.
He's always had a problem.
joe rogan
How is this guy still in there, that Kay Shishish guy?
bryan callen
He was very effective as an Ohio governor.
joe rogan
Is he hoping his photos come out of all those guys?
brendan schaub
And it's so expensive.
joe rogan
Young boy, gay orgy.
brendan schaub
That's so weird.
joe rogan
Me!
Finally, I'm what's left.
unidentified
Last man's stand.
brendan schaub
All I'm thinking about is the MMA fan going, what the fuck, man?
Where's the fucking breakdown?
joe rogan
Where's the fight breakdowns, you cunt?
We didn't promise it.
unidentified
What about the fight?
brendan schaub
We warned you.
joe rogan
We talked about Connor for an hour.
No, ten minutes.
bryan callen
Connor.
unidentified
I was going to say, Connor.
bryan callen
Ian, what do you think about who's going to win that fight?
joe rogan
Thank you, Jamie.
Jamie just put the fucking fight thing back on.
Let's go, yeah.
ian mccall
Connor.
joe rogan
Because I fucking hate this Chris Christie talk.
It makes me angry.
ian mccall
Yeah, I'm fucking horrible at politics.
I'm just watching you guys.
joe rogan
The fucking New Jersey thing, man.
That's my state where I was born.
bryan callen
That's your representative.
joe rogan
It reminds you of all the shit that he did with the bridge, the shutting down that bridge.
Dude, that political decision to do that is so...
It's criminal.
It's criminal to shut down a bridge to try to...
I don't want to talk about it.
I'll get angry.
I'll get fucking pissed off.
Jesus!
bryan callen
Let's go!
Let's go to some fights!
ian mccall
So, we have the size difference when we're to their heights.
I guess it doesn't really matter.
joe rogan
I think Nate is taller.
brendan schaub
Yeah, sure.
He's three inches taller, and he has a two-inch reach advantage.
joe rogan
It says two, yeah.
Hmm, that's interesting.
ian mccall
That's going to play a big factor, because obviously Connor moves in so much, isn't used to fighting the bigger guy, but now he is.
But the thing is, if you've seen pictures of him and video of him, he's fucking huge right now.
joe rogan
Yeah, I like the leg reach thing.
He's got longer legs.
brendan schaub
Me too.
ian mccall
Yeah.
brendan schaub
And he uses them.
ian mccall
There you go.
Exactly.
He uses them real well and really well at distance.
It's not like me where I just want to step in and club your legs.
He's trying to negate that gap between him and you.
joe rogan
And he likes to throw a lot of front kicks to the body like he did with Chad Mendez.
bryan callen
That's going to be a pain in the ass.
brendan schaub
That's effective against a guy like Diaz.
Let me ask you this, Uncle Creepy.
How about...
With Connor, he's always been the bully, right?
He's kind of bullied the 145 division.
And then now, here, there's no way.
He's just not bigger than Diaz.
So I think it's the first time we're really going to see him where his size isn't going to be that advantage anymore.
joe rogan
But he's pretty goddamn big right now.
He was training for a fight at 155, which means he ate like a pig, fought at 155 in the UK. So he's fought at 155 before and starched guys with one shot.
I absolutely believe his power carries over to 155. And this fight is essentially at 170, but these are 155ers that don't have to cut weight.
That's what's going on.
They don't have to cut weight because it was part of the agreement when Nate took the fight.
They took it at a catch weight.
brendan schaub
Well, you know, Diaz was down to go to, I think, 165 or 160, and Conor goes, no, no, no, man, I want you to have the advantage here in the weight.
We're going to make it 170. Don't kill yourself, Conor.
joe rogan
He didn't want to cut weight.
Look, and you shouldn't...
I think, listen, I think this is the future, and I really, truly hope that people decide to fight at a much more reasonable weight class.
I think they decide to do this, where they fight where they actually...
Belong and stop this dehydration process, man.
It's fucking madness.
It's the worst aspect of MMA, the most dangerous aspect of MMA, the scariest now because there's no IV rehydration.
So these people are going in there with dehydrated brains and they're taking shots of the fucking dome.
I think it's stupid.
It ruins your chin.
It ruins your ability to fight at the best level.
brendan schaub
And longevity.
joe rogan
Longevity.
brendan schaub
Also, you got a huge X factor, too, is Nate Diaz.
They go, well, he's getting ready for a triathlon.
I don't give a fuck.
That's not five rounds of fighting the UFC. I don't care what you're doing.
There's no way you can make up for that.
joe rogan
Well, I don't know, because I don't know what else he was doing other than training for the triathlon.
I don't know if he was doing anything.
I know he was definitely training for a triathlon, though, which means it's not like you caught him sitting on the couch doing bong hits and eating Cheetos.
brendan schaub
It's true.
joe rogan
The guy's in really good shape.
brendan schaub
Different shape.
joe rogan
It is a different shape, but there's also no wear and tear from a fight camp, and that could be a big factor in his favor.
brendan schaub
Well, Diaz did say, he goes, you know what, to me, there's no pressure on me.
He goes, I've had camps where I've had full camps and I went in there and got my ass whooped.
Then I've had times where I was sitting on the couch for three weeks, went into the gym, beat everybody up.
He's like, so for me, it's just another day.
joe rogan
I think of Big factor.
A really big factor is the fact that he doesn't have to cut weight.
I think it's a big factor for Conor, too.
I mean, we might see the best Conor we've ever seen.
Because seeing him at 145 pounds, that guy was on death's door the day before the fight.
The Chad Mendes fight, he looked like utter dog shit at the weigh-ins.
And then the next day, he's full and thick and probably 20-plus pounds heavier than he was at the weigh-ins.
brendan schaub
I'll tell you what gets scary is if Diaz does get McGregor down.
joe rogan
Oh, yeah.
brendan schaub
That's scary.
joe rogan
Oh, yeah.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
brendan schaub
For McGregor, it's very scary.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
brendan schaub
You're talking about a high-level jiu-jitsu guy with lots of submissions in the UFC. Diaz has got some serious fucking skills.
ian mccall
From top and bottom.
joe rogan
Yeah.
Really, really good jiu-jitsu.
ian mccall
But see, George Lockhart has been working with Conor for the last fight or two.
brendan schaub
Right.
ian mccall
So you know that he's not just eating a bunch of shit.
unidentified
Right.
ian mccall
He's putting...
I mean, on a cellular level, he's energizing his body with really, really good, high energy fuel stuff.
So him putting on that much weight, which is just more natural for him, he's going to be fucking so strong.
joe rogan
So strong.
brendan schaub
And has such good cardio.
joe rogan
So healthy.
ian mccall
So healthy.
brendan schaub
If he gets by this, I think you have to do UFC 200 if Dos Anjos is ready.
joe rogan
If he gets by him, but what if Nate Diaz lights him up?
brendan schaub
I don't see that happening.
ian mccall
Then we don't have to deal with this shit anymore.
joe rogan
Well, we do.
brendan schaub
You want to do with this shit, though.
I like it.
The sport needs it, man.
bryan callen
I get nervous because I don't want the Conor show to end.
I want it to keep going.
brendan schaub
It's magical.
bryan callen
It's magical because he's got the guts to talk so big and then just to go up to 70. You've got to love it.
joe rogan
I don't think Nate Diaz, if he beats him, I don't think he ends the Conor train.
I think he stops it momentarily.
There's a regrouping and he comes back.
Better than ever.
I just don't think losing to Nate Diaz stops everything.
I think it definitely changes it.
brendan schaub
It's a big bump in the road, man.
joe rogan
It's a big bump in the road.
brendan schaub
There's no more of that undefeated aura anymore.
joe rogan
Well, look at what happened to Manny Pacquiao.
He fought Juan Manuel Marquez and got knocked dead.
ian mccall
Look like he died.
joe rogan
Face planted.
brendan schaub
Not the same.
joe rogan
Not the same, but he came back and is still just as huge as he's ever been before.
brendan schaub
Ah, man, it's not the same.
Look at Floyd, though.
Floyd was huge, right?
Never lost.
Even though his fights were boring, we still tune in.
He's still the best of all time.
He had this huge undefeated aura about him.
He loses with his fighting style?
Get the fuck out of here.
joe rogan
Well, if he loses, he's boring to watch.
brendan schaub
But he's undefeated, so that's why we tune in.
bryan callen
Yeah, but he also refused to fight some guys in their prime like Manny Pacquiao.
Five years ago, six years ago, he was a fighter.
joe rogan
But stop right there, because he had a real good argument that Manny Pacquiao was most likely on performance-enhancing drugs.
brendan schaub
He refused to take the drug test, so there's a reason why he didn't fight.
joe rogan
And Manny moved up eight weight classes.
bryan callen
Right, I know.
joe rogan
And kept his knockout power.
Look, I don't know whether or not Manny did anything, but that Alex Ariza guy that was with him, that guy...
brendan schaub
Notoriously known for it.
joe rogan
Yeah, notoriously known for it.
That was his strength and conditioning coach.
And the reputation is usually...
It's usually pretty accurate.
brendan schaub
That's like me having Jose Canseco in my corner and then be like, I don't know, man!
unidentified
I don't know!
joe rogan
Shob is 298 pounds.
brendan schaub
It's weird.
He went up eight weight classes and Jose Canseco's his fucking best friend.
I think he's good, man.
joe rogan
Anderson Silva's strength and conditioning coach.
bryan callen
Why do a lot of guys get purple like that?
What happens?
joe rogan
I guess it's like blood rushing to your skin or something.
unidentified
Yeah.
bryan callen
They sweat a lot.
They get greasy.
ian mccall
They're always flexing and they're just...
bryan callen
Yeah.
joe rogan
Well, also, I think when you take a lot of testosterone like that, from what I understand, you have more blood.
You have more blood in your system.
unidentified
Really?
joe rogan
Yeah, like this dude I knew who was on heavy doses of testosterone, his doctor, he's doing some endurance thing, and his doctor told him you should give blood.
You should take some blood out of your body before he was going to do some crazy bike ride.
You should take blood out of your body.
brendan schaub
Damn, that's insane.
bryan callen
Your blood gets thick, I guess, right?
unidentified
What are you doing?
joe rogan
Yeah, it gets thick.
bryan callen
There's a theory that says that the reason women don't die of heart problems, they don't have the kind of cholesterol issues, is because they bleed once a month.
And this guy said, if you give blood once a year, it might be the best thing you can do for your heart.
unidentified
Really?
bryan callen
For your body, yeah.
joe rogan
Why?
bryan callen
Because apparently it keeps your blood thinner.
And so as a result, you will...
And by the way, I'm not a doctor.
I'm paraphrasing this guy, so please don't kill me.
brendan schaub
Everyone go out and get blood thinners.
bryan callen
Exactly.
But essentially he said, you can lower your lipid levels and all this other stuff by giving blood once a year, and it makes a huge difference.
unidentified
Wow.
bryan callen
It's a school of thought.
It's also been disputed.
Just like a pint, I guess?
joe rogan
It's been disputed?
What's supposed to be the benefit?
How does it lower your blood lipid level?
bryan callen
So I guess, apparently, like you said, you get thick.
Your blood gets thick, and it kind of acts as, I suppose, like aspirin would, where your blood gets thin.
brendan schaub
And then your body has to rejuvenate and make more blood.
joe rogan
That is interesting that women don't get the kind of heart attacks that men do.
I always attributed that to stress.
bryan callen
Well, no, it's estrogen.
brendan schaub
I thought stress, too.
bryan callen
It's estrogen, and it's also, according to a couple of these doctors, that they bleed once a month.
And that hasn't affected it.
unidentified
It's because they're evil creatures.
brendan schaub
Excuse me, sir.
joe rogan
They give heart attacks.
They don't get them.
brendan schaub
That's true.
I remember when I was a kid, I'd cut myself and suck on it.
Like, I thought, like, you know, I'd cut, like, oh, shit!
joe rogan
Do you ever do that or do you think we didn't cut yourself on purpose?
brendan schaub
No, I'd, like, fall down and scrape myself and suck the blood.
joe rogan
Yeah, I always did that.
brendan schaub
Because I thought it'd go back in my body.
bryan callen
Oh, I don't give blood.
unidentified
Wrong.
brendan schaub
Wrong.
Stupid.
joe rogan
Well, it kind of does.
brendan schaub
Kind of.
joe rogan
It just doesn't go back in your blood.
ian mccall
The nutrients go in your body.
brendan schaub
You think.
bryan callen
I want to go do a full screening of vitamins, hormones, everything.
I've never done that.
joe rogan
Have you done cryotherapy yet?
bryan callen
No.
joe rogan
Let's go do it right now.
bryan callen
Dude, I got into a really cold pool and almost panicked.
joe rogan
That's not the same.
bryan callen
My asshole hurt.
brendan schaub
My asshole balls were like, hey!
That's not like an ice bath.
To me, it's easy.
joe rogan
The ice bath is stronger.
brendan schaub
Stronger.
Harder to do.
For me, an ice bath is more effective.
joe rogan
Well, that's what Iceman Hoff, Wim Hoff, he said for your soul, your resiliency and being able to overcome the ice bath is better.
brendan schaub
It's way longer.
joe rogan
Yeah, because you're pouring bags of fucking ice in that water and you get in there and you're brutalized for 20 minutes.
brendan schaub
Some people swear by cryotherapy.
My last camp I did it four times a week and I didn't see much of a difference.
Opposed to ice baths.
So I stopped doing with ice baths.
joe rogan
Maybe it's like what you felt versus the actual anti-inflammation markers in your blood.
Because they've definitely shown that it reduces inflammation pretty radically.
brendan schaub
Better than an ice bath?
joe rogan
I don't know about better because I don't know.
I don't know how much has been shown that ice baths do.
I don't know.
I'm more aware of what they've shown from cryotherapy.
But where it's really effective is for people with arthritis.
There's this lady that goes to the place that I go to, and this poor lady, her hands are jacked, man.
Like her whole life, her hands have been like this, just like gnarled up claws.
And she now, for the first time in a decade, can straighten her fingers out.
brendan schaub
And she never thought about just filling up buckets of ice and putting her hands in them?
joe rogan
I don't know, man.
It seems like you should, right?
I don't know what she's done before.
I should have asked her.
ian mccall
Well, it's like my daughter.
I'm actually partnering her up with a cryo place in Lake Forest.
brendan schaub
You guys are balls deep.
ian mccall
Opening up March 15th.
We open up March 15th.
It's called Therapy Cryo Salon.
Lake Forest.
My daughter has juvenile rheumatoid arthritis.
I take her in my cryo machine.
The lady I used to go to, Monica, in Newport, our Costa Mesa.
Well, it sparked my interest, and then I realized that it fucking works.
You know, like, the science is behind it.
Talking about how deep it penetrates, I heard it penetrates deeper than an ice bath.
brendan schaub
Oh, I heard the opposite.
ian mccall
But I've done ice baths my whole life.
They're fucking way different.
They hurt my toes and feet, so I'm always, like, trying to stick them out of the water.
unidentified
They're a pain.
brendan schaub
They're a pain to do.
bryan callen
How long do you sit in an ice bath, typically?
ian mccall
Fifteen.
brendan schaub
Fifteen minutes, yeah.
ian mccall
I do them both.
There's a Korean bathhouse by my gym right next to it.
joe rogan
Do they have ice baths at a Korean bathhouse?
brendan schaub
Oh yeah, I bet your sweet ass.
ian mccall
Why does my ass have to be sweet?
joe rogan
What am I betting?
brendan schaub
I don't know.
That was aggressive.
You've never seen a small dick until you've gone to a Korean bathhouse.
joe rogan
Oh, what are you trying to say?
Is that racist?
brendan schaub
No, it's science!
joe rogan
Does it smell like kimchi?
brendan schaub
No.
ian mccall
You see all kinds of dicks at these places.
joe rogan
Ramen noodles is like Japanese.
Is it?
unidentified
Do I? Either way, man, it's fucking tiny.
brendan schaub
But before you put your daughter in the cryotherapy chamber, did you ever just have her take ice bath and did it help?
ian mccall
We put ice on her before, but she was two and a half when she got diagnosed.
So she didn't like ice, but then we're also getting things like the hyperbaric chambers.
So, you know, with her ailment or disease, you know, if she hasn't had a flare-up in a long time, it's because we feed her the right food.
She's gluten-free, sugar-free, dairy-free.
brendan schaub
Did the hyperbaric chamber help?
ian mccall
I haven't put her in one yet.
I haven't got one yet.
joe rogan
But the adjustments that you've made in the diet, they've had a pretty big impact.
ian mccall
Having a low inflammatory food diet is...
So she was running by 10 months.
I mean, she's ahead of the curve, really smart.
Then to see her not being able to walk.
brendan schaub
Poor little Craig.
ian mccall
Having brain fog that comes with RA. I mean, I was a mess.
You know, and seeing her trying to butt scoot, and then finally we started to do all the food.
The food has changed, and now she's...
We fixed her quickly.
We got on it right away.
joe rogan
And she's okay now?
ian mccall
Yeah, she's good.
joe rogan
You wouldn't notice it?
ian mccall
Oh, you would have no idea.
joe rogan
That's amazing.
ian mccall
I mean, there's no more...
bryan callen
Good for you guys.
ian mccall
She was limping a bit.
Sad, funny, I guess, whatever.
She got diagnosed when I tore my hip.
So we're both limping around the house and limping around Disneyland and limping around everywhere, but I think it maybe kind of made her feel better.
joe rogan
So what did you...
Dairy-free, gluten-free...
ian mccall
Processed sugar-free.
joe rogan
Processed sugar-free.
And how long did it take before you saw an impact?
ian mccall
Not long.
It took maybe a month or two.
And then after six months...
brendan schaub
Pretty fast.
ian mccall
I mean, six months it was huge.
After a year, it was, I mean, gigantic now.
joe rogan
What else do you...
Do you give her any supplements, fish oil or anything along those lines?
ian mccall
Yeah, I mean, we mix in things like, you know, MCT oil or all this healthy stuff.
My family's very healthy.
My dad is the one that has kept this diet from falling apart, realistically.
I call him a food Nazi, but he's, you know, it's me and him raising my daughter together.
Actually, my mom just moved into my house.
My parents haven't been together for 15 years.
brendan schaub
They're together now?
ian mccall
Now they live together, and I live there, and I'm like, oh, cool.
I live with my parents and my kid after...
bryan callen
Girls love that.
ian mccall
It's a clusterfuck, but I love them for it.
joe rogan
That's awesome.
So they're doing that to help you.
ian mccall
Yeah.
joe rogan
And help your daughter.
That's beautiful.
ian mccall
And my mom's a chef.
My dad's a very healthy guy.
So the food in my house is all geared around my daughter.
If I want to cheat on my diet, I have to leave my house.
And I have to feel bad.
And I have to just sit in my car and cry while I eat my gummy bears, you know?
joe rogan
That's great, man.
It's great that you could find something that quick that can make that big of an impact.
And like I said, with this diet that I'm on, it makes you really consider the impact that food has on your body.
And this is one of the reasons why I'm so harsh on that Chris Christie guys, because I don't want anybody that's a representative of the United States or of us or a leader that It shows this willingness to give in.
I want them to be exceptional.
brendan schaub
I need a superhero.
ian mccall
Exactly, a superhero.
joe rogan
It's also having some discipline and understanding that there's some severe consequences to not having that discipline.
And when you're a massively overweight guy like that, the amount of aches and pains that guy is going through.
brendan schaub
You're also a role model.
So when kids look up to you and they see this fat ass being the leader, they're like, well...
joe rogan
It's just amazing that a young girl who develops this horrible ailment can get relief so quickly just by adjusting your food.
It makes me never want to eat that shit again.
It really does.
It makes me want to cut all that stuff out of my life forever.
bryan callen
I think if Americans learned how to eat, we wouldn't have...
One of the biggest issues is always healthcare and stuff like that.
I wonder how many ailments would not be a factor if people ate...
Better.
joe rogan
Well, you know, I watched this documentary with my kids on corn syrup or on syrup and sugar.
I forget.
I think it's called That Sugar documentary.
And we went through the supermarket and you start grabbing things and looking at how much sugar is in everything.
bryan callen
Subsidized.
joe rogan
It's fucking in everything.
It's in everything.
ian mccall
It sucks.
And it's so deeply ingrained in everything we do, everything we eat.
Sugar, sugar, sugar, sugar.
It's, you know, Fed Up, that other documentary.
They point out so many good points.
That sounded weird.
But it all makes sense.
You turn around to anything and there's fucking sugar in it.
joe rogan
Yeah.
ian mccall
Everything is so manipulated.
brendan schaub
When's the last time you guys had fast food?
joe rogan
Well, I haven't had anything anywhere near it in a month.
So I started this diet.
I was trying to figure out when I started.
I had to go back and look at the clock, or the calendar, rather.
February 1st was the first day that I started the diet.
brendan schaub
Did you have fast food before that?
joe rogan
Well, yeah, I'm sure I did.
I ate at Cat's Deli when I was in New York, and I decided after I ate that, that was going to be my last blowout meals.
I had two pastrami sandwiches.
I had a Reuben and a corned beef sandwich.
brendan schaub
Not mad at either of those.
joe rogan
Oh, it was delicious.
brendan schaub
You don't miss that?
joe rogan
Nope.
Nope, I'm good.
If I wanted to, I could eat it.
But I don't want to.
No, man.
The benefits are...
For a little bit of mouth pleasure...
Here's the thing, dude.
You know what I really like?
I like steak.
brendan schaub
Me too, man.
joe rogan
I like a fat, fucking juicy elk steak that I cook on the grill.
I like greens.
I like healthy food.
That's what I like.
When I sit down and I eat a nice elk steak with some fucking kale...
unidentified
You feel good, man.
joe rogan
I feel great.
That's what I like.
That's what I crave.
I enjoy that.
That's my favorite kind of meal.
brendan schaub
How long did it get you to take out carbs before you felt like that?
joe rogan
Dude, I'll tell you what, man.
I got a headache the first couple of days.
That was weird.
Where my body was like...
I hate to use the word detoxing.
brendan schaub
Withdrawals.
joe rogan
Going through detoxing, man.
Detoxing, but that's what was going on.
It was sugar.
It was sugar.
The sugar, I think, was the headache thing.
Because I'd cut out sugar before and I got a headache.
I think that's what it is.
bryan callen
Can you drink on this at all?
joe rogan
Yeah, I can a little.
But I haven't been.
brendan schaub
You ever try cutting out caffeine?
Coffee?
unidentified
Whew.
joe rogan
Yeah, I tried to do that.
I had the straight sweat, son.
bryan callen
Fuck that.
brendan schaub
I was shivering.
joe rogan
I love my coffee.
brendan schaub
I love it too much.
joe rogan
When I write, when I write, like if I really sit down, I'm trying to finish something, I drink way too much caffeine.
And I took some time off after last time I did it.
This was a long time ago.
And last time I went on like a real binge where I was just drinking coffee all day, every day for like a month.
brendan schaub
That'd be today.
joe rogan
And then I went...
Like, just one or two days off, and my head was killing me.
Just like, oh, like it was in a vice.
That was worse, well, it was probably like right up there with the sugar thing.
The sugar thing was, like for three days, two or three days, I was foggy.
brendan schaub
Sugar would be a big hurdle for me.
joe rogan
Here's another big hurdle.
When you convert from your body eating mostly carbs and...
Like, using that for fuel to trying to go into ketosis and burn fat for fuel, you feel like a bitch.
Like, you're weak.
Like, when I go to the gym, I'm lifting weights, I'm trying to push, like, oh my god.
bryan callen
You still feel that way, or you did it initially?
joe rogan
No, it's gone.
It's gone.
I worked out today.
I felt great.
But the push part...
It's hard to get through things.
brendan schaub
Transition.
joe rogan
You have to have discipline.
This is what you've got to do, man.
I didn't write this down because I knew I wasn't going to cheat.
This is what I'm going to do.
This is what I'm doing.
And so I did it.
But if you don't have that mindset or you're not used to doing that kind of thing, just write it down.
Write down what you're going to do today.
Today I'm not going to eat sugar.
I'm not going to eat carbs.
I'm not going to eat that.
And write that down every goddamn day.
And then check it off at the end of the day.
That way you know you did it.
If you just leave it to the ether, just put it out there and you're all wishy-washy with it, you're not going to be disciplined.
It's not an option.
I told you I had that dream when I was eating bread.
brendan schaub
Yeah, it's like that shit.
joe rogan
I was dreaming.
But it was only cornbread.
I had a dream that I was eating cornbread.
I like cornbread.
I had a dream I was eating two different kinds of bread.
unidentified
Farm bread and butter?
Who doesn't?
Oh!
joe rogan
There was another one that was like cheesy rolls that you get at like Fogo de Chao.
Those warm cheesy rolls.
unidentified
Yep.
joe rogan
How about those cheddar biscuits that I'm having?
brendan schaub
Fucking Red Lobster.
unidentified
Mmm.
joe rogan
Yeah.
I don't go to Red Lobster.
ian mccall
Just hanging out in Brazil, walking around and grabbing those little bags of cheese balls.
brendan schaub
Mmm.
bryan callen
I've never been to Brazil.
ian mccall
Oh, you gotta go, man.
brendan schaub
Oh, it's great.
I give myself ten years, I'll look like Chris Christie.
joe rogan
Haha, you're fine.
No, I'm kidding.
He is fat.
I didn't know he was that fat.
bryan callen
Well, I didn't know he was that fat.
joe rogan
By the way, he's way, way, way lighter than he used to be.
brendan schaub
Yeah, because you can't get your stomach stapled unless you're, like, fucking so fat.
bryan callen
Well, there was one picture where he's just morbidly obese.
joe rogan
Yeah, that was before.
That was after his surgery.
brendan schaub
I want that guy's my friend picture.
They're not my president.
joe rogan
Where he's wearing those pants.
Yeah, I have a lot of fat friends.
brendan schaub
Me too, and they're awesome.
joe rogan
Yeah.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Look, I have morbidly obese friends.
That's not the issue.
brendan schaub
No, I don't have an issue with all that.
They're fun, man.
I wish I was more like them.
joe rogan
It's just like there's a position that is the most highly valued position in the world.
That's the President of the United States.
brendan schaub
You've got to be an X-Man.
joe rogan
You gotta be a bad motherfucker.
bryan callen
You demand a lot from your president.
joe rogan
There's no one like that that's running right now.
That's very true.
No one fits that bill, and that's why it's so weird.
brendan schaub
Because whoever fits that bill knows damn well they don't want to be president.
joe rogan
Exactly, they're too smart.
unidentified
You're too smart.
bryan callen
Well, also the fact that everything about your past gets raked over with a fine-tooth comb.
joe rogan
Are we way over three hours right now?
brendan schaub
Are we?
joe rogan
Yeah, we're way over.
All right, kids.
Thanks, Chris Christie.
bryan callen
Let's wrap this motherfucker up.
joe rogan
There he is.
Look at that.
Look at that, Brian.
bryan callen
Oh, no.
joe rogan
Post-surgery, by the way.
bryan callen
I thought he was just a big husky guy.
brendan schaub
Come on, bro.
ian mccall
He deflated.
That's what it was.
bryan callen
The upper cock fat.
joe rogan
That's not even a manly gut.
A manly gut is like Joey Diaz.
Joey Diaz has a manly gut.
ian mccall
Can he see his cock?
joe rogan
No.
ian mccall
Or is it too pushed into the...
joe rogan
He can see it if he has a mirror.
bryan callen
It's a strange...
brendan schaub
Interesting look, right?
He looks comfortable, though.
joe rogan
If he has a mirror and a good lounge chair.
unidentified
Looks like somebody just put a bunch of warm cheese in a sack.
brendan schaub
He looks comfortable.
bryan callen
Warm cheese in a sack.
joe rogan
Ladies and gentlemen, the end.
I love the fuck out of you guys.
bryan callen
Love you, too.
brendan schaub
Love you, man.
joe rogan
So much fun to do.
ian mccall
Love you, buddy.
brendan schaub
March 16th, Irvine Improv.
Brian Callen and myself.
ian mccall
I will be there.
I will be there with my beautiful girlfriend.
unidentified
Oh, yeah?
Oh, beautiful.
ian mccall
Oh, yeah.
brendan schaub
Tickets on us, my man.
joe rogan
Denver.
Ice House tonight.
I think there's like 10 tickets still left.
Greg Fitzsimmons, Jenny Johnson, Tony Hinchcliffe.
Damn.
Who the fuck else is on the show?
Someone else.
Who else?
unidentified
Duncan.
joe rogan
Duncan Trussell, that's right.
God damn it.
That's it, you fucks.
And then Friday night at the Carr Theater at the MGM with Joey Diaz and Tony Hinchcliffe in Vegas.
Holla!
That's it, folks.
Thank you so much.
See you soon.
Bye-bye.
Oh, see you tomorrow with Bert Kreischer and Brian Redband.
