Speaker Time Text
brendan schaub
It's just a perfect situation.
joe rogan
And we're live.
Yeah, and what?
And it's a UFC. Yeah, yeah, we're talking about UFC Fight Companion podcasts.
They're so ridiculously fun.
They're more fun than doing it live.
eddie bravo
Yeah, and what I was saying is what makes him super crazy special for me, I look forward to him so much, is it's not just the best possible podcast situation, the most fun, the funnest shit.
brendan schaub
We could talk about anything.
We could talk about gay shit.
It doesn't matter.
eddie bravo
It doesn't matter.
We could do anything.
brendan schaub
We can talk about sucking dick.
We can talk about this shit.
joe rogan
We can totally talk about it.
brendan schaub
And we can get away with it.
And people are starting to get sick of it, though, so we should probably pull back.
Or give them more dick.
joe rogan
Give them more.
I don't give a fuck.
eddie bravo
People are getting pissed.
joe rogan
Listen, some people are getting pissed.
Those people you can't worry about.
eddie bravo
But the coolest thing, well, not the coolest thing, but what makes it extra cool is it's the best possible podcast situation, period.
joe rogan
Yeah.
eddie bravo
And there's a UFC going on at the same fucking time.
It's overload!
It's like you can't take it.
We're doing a podcast, the funnest shit ever, while the greatest show that's ever been invented is on at the same time.
joe rogan
It's a combination of those things.
And if the fight gets boring, if for whatever reason it's stagnant, we just start talking about fucking owls.
You ever seen an owl's dick?
But if people get upset about us talking about dicks, look, that's just where the conversation goes sometimes.
Don't worry about that.
We're trying the best we can to be entertaining.
That's all we're trying.
There's going to be some slip-ups.
If you feel like we're getting too much dick in there, you're allowed to express yourself.
eddie bravo
We might have a pretty strong gay following now.
joe rogan
I hope we do.
I hope we do.
eddie bravo
We probably do.
joe rogan
I hope we do.
eddie bravo
We're making them feel comfortable.
joe rogan
I hope they do feel comfortable.
eddie bravo
I'm just keeping it real.
I see a guy like Alan Juban, I just keep it real.
joe rogan
He's a beautiful man.
unidentified
Goddammit.
joe rogan
But even more important than that, who gives a fuck?
You know, this is the thing that it's even remotely controversial that we would have a gay following.
Probably have a following of Irish people, too.
You know what I mean?
Who cares?
Who gives a fuck?
eddie bravo
Speaking of the Irish.
joe rogan
Speaking of the Irish.
I've got him right here.
eddie bravo
Oh, man.
joe rogan
Hey, listen, man.
This guy has balls.
This is why I respect the fuck out of Conor McGregor.
Not just because he's an awesome fighter.
And yeah, he lost to Nate Diaz, who's also an awesome fighter.
But who the fuck will fight anybody?
Who will just jump up in late class?
eddie bravo
The last guy was BJ. BJ tried it.
And you know what?
Even though BJ didn't...
He had success once, at least at 170. He beat Matt Hughes.
But at the end of the day...
There's a really good reason why all elite boxers, wrestlers, fighters, weight cutting is so massively important to virtually everybody.
There are some crazy people out there like Anthony Johnson.
That's the exception.
But generally, there's a really good reason most people are torturing themselves to get as light as possible.
Because at the elite level, five pounds makes a big fucking difference.
joe rogan
It makes a big difference.
eddie bravo
Just five pounds and then ten pounds, ten pound different, elite level.
Man, even the best guys aren't going up in weight.
Look at Hoffa Mendez.
brendan schaub
No doubt.
eddie bravo
Probably pound for pound the best guy in Jiu Jitsu.
Probably him and Marcelo, Jean-Jacques, they're all up there.
Bam!
Pound for pound.
There's so many good guys now.
Jesus, it's incredible now.
brendan schaub
You know what I mean?
Even Marcelo.
eddie bravo
No one's trying to go up in weight.
This year, I'm going to try the weight category above me.
No!
Everybody's on the craziest diet.
They need three months.
They get serious about it.
They're on Instagram posting their fucking broccoli every day.
And fucking selfies of their abs and shit.
They're killing themselves, not because it feels good.
It feels like shit.
They all love eating.
It's so important.
So everybody knows you just can't go up in goddamn weight.
BJ was the one that said, fuck it.
He went up to light heavyweight and shit.
joe rogan
BJ is 5'8".
No, it wasn't even light heavyweight, bro.
It was heavyweight.
Because Liotta Machida was like 208. Okay, okay.
I think that fight was like technically a heavyweight fight.
Find that out.
unidentified
But you know what, if it's that close, I'm pretty sure that's what it is.
brendan schaub
That's an out of shape Machida, you know what I mean?
joe rogan
He was fat, for sure.
eddie bravo
That's out of shape Machida.
joe rogan
Did you ever see when he used to fight?
Kickboxing, karate?
He was fat.
His first UFC fight.
brendan schaub
That's not his real weight.
eddie bravo
His real weight is 205, 185. But BJ did it, and I always admired him.
To me, I always look at BJ as a living legend.
Yeah, the guy, he's not undefeated, and he got his ass beat a few times.
brendan schaub
Who gives a fuck?
eddie bravo
Look what BJ did.
He had the balls to step up, and really, he was a 45er, just like Conor.
The whole time he was a 45er.
In jiu-jitsu, he was a 45er.
He was always a 45er, fighting at 55, fought at 170. Nobody else was doing it, and you know, Conor, here he comes.
Conor, this guy, he has so much power in his hands.
He had that courage to think he could, Finish what BJ started, you know, let me go up there and do that.
Do what BJ did, but you know, he felt like he could fucking knock anybody out.
He really, really believed he could fucking...
If he lands, you're going down.
brendan schaub
And you know what?
eddie bravo
He was doing great against Nate Diaz.
This is how I found out.
I'm at this party, Slammy's house, and...
I didn't realize we were behind by a minute and a half.
I thought we were live.
I thought we were live, but we were behind by a minute and a half.
Everyone's going nuts.
I'm watching, going, oh shit, Lizzie Borden is sitting next to me.
My childhood...
Idol.
He's one of my greatest favorite lead singers of all time.
He's sitting next to me watching.
Everyone's going nuts.
It looks like Conor's.
To me, I was like, Conor's gonna win this thing, man.
He was lighting Nate up, cutting them all up.
He was connecting.
He looked really confident, like Conor looked calm.
That whole first round.
I was going, it was over in the first or second?
joe rogan
Second.
eddie bravo
It was the second.
In that round, I get a call from Joey.
Joey's like, oh, you know how much I won.
You know how much I won.
I told you.
I told you you never bet against Diaz.
I go, what are you talking about?
I thought I was watching.
Are you talking about the Misha fight?
He goes, no, motherfucker.
He got choked.
I go, who got choked?
Holly Holm got choked out?
I'm watching the Date Mias.
No, motherfucker.
What fight are you watching right now?
I go, I'm watching the Conor fight.
As it's going on, he goes, he choked him fucking out.
I'm like, dude...
joe rogan
Fuck!
eddie bravo
And he goes, bye!
unidentified
Boom!
eddie bravo
He realized he fucked up.
And I knew that Diaz was going to win a minute before it happened.
joe rogan
Did you pause it to pee or something?
eddie bravo
We were at a party and it was just behind.
Someone rewound shit.
You know when you rewind shit and you want to see something again and you didn't fast forward it?
So we thought it was live.
So Joey called me hysterical and he gave it away.
And then once he realized he gave it away, he hung up and goes, oh shit, bye.
And I said, oh shit, bye.
You just fucked up the greatest fight ever.
But the fight was so crazy and so funny.
That's fucking insane.
brendan schaub
That even though I knew...
unidentified
That's better.
eddie bravo
Even though I knew, I go, okay, somehow Nate is going to take him down and choke him out, but it doesn't look good right here.
I'm like, how is he going to take Connor down?
That's not going to be easy.
brendan schaub
Fuck, he's going to pull this off.
How is he going to do it?
eddie bravo
I had no idea that Nate hurts Connor.
brendan schaub
Connor takes him down.
You know, that's how it went down.
eddie bravo
The place I was at was going fucking nuts.
Everybody was screaming at the top of their fucking lungs.
unidentified
Everyone was...
eddie bravo
And then when he choked him out, dude, I'd never been in a party where everyone was going so crazy before.
Everybody was losing their fucking mind.
brendan schaub
I was too!
joe rogan
Should've been at the UFC. Holy shitballs!
Everybody was going crazy.
Jumped up and screamed.
eddie bravo
I never screamed so loud in my motherfucking life at any fight ever.
That was fucking shocking.
joe rogan
It was a saying.
eddie bravo
It looked like Conor just had his hands down and goes, I got this motherfucker.
brendan schaub
He was landing.
eddie bravo
He was tagging him.
It looked like you hurt him a couple times.
joe rogan
He definitely tagged him a few times.
eddie bravo
You know what I mean?
I thought it was over for Nate.
I really did.
And when he turned it around and the way it finished...
And when he put that fucking rear naked choke in, he put that motherfucker in like a super ninja.
First of all, the way he mounted.
If you don't do jujitsu, you would never know.
The way he fucking mounted and his balance.
You could see the balance.
You could see the beauty in that mount and the way he was riding him like a professional fucking champion rodeo fucking rider.
All his balance is all beautiful.
And then when he took his back, the way he put that fucking hook in, it was so efficient.
There wasn't no hiccup where he hit this jaw, and then he had to set up, and then he had to feel...
brendan schaub
It just went...
eddie bravo
It was fucking insanity.
joe rogan
Real black belt shit.
eddie bravo
It was so perfect and so fucking, like that technique was about as flawless and as beautiful as you can get.
joe rogan
Yeah, that was two big points was that we had never seen Connor face adversity and we had never seen him on the ground with a real Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt like Nate.
Nate's got a nasty ground game, man.
His ground game is tight as fuck.
eddie bravo
But people are talking a lot of shit on Conor's jiu-jitsu.
I know Conor's jiu-jitsu is good.
He's come to my school.
That guy's good just because he got mounted and choked down.
Yeah, he was already hurt.
But even if he wasn't hurt, I get mounted by my purple belt sometimes and I get my back.
There's some shit going on and add punches and fucking all this hype.
Just because he got mounted and got his back taken does not mean Conor's jiu-jitsu sucks.
Don't get it twisted.
He was a little hurt.
Nate Diaz is really good.
brendan schaub
Nate Diaz is really, really good.
You know what I mean?
eddie bravo
Like, Nate Diaz could probably do that to me.
Doesn't mean I suck.
brendan schaub
You know what I mean?
He could probably get my back.
Doesn't mean I suck.
eddie bravo
I'm a height.
joe rogan
Well, he got hurt.
It's real simple.
When you get tagged the way he got tagged, and you're trying to take Nate Diaz down, he got hurt.
He probably had no idea what the fuck he was doing.
I haven't had an MMA fight, but Schaub was telling me about when Travis Brown hit him.
And that he's like, dude, I know how to get out of the mound.
But when Travis hit me, he's like, I didn't know what I was doing.
I was out of it.
I think that...
Unless you get punched in the face.
brendan schaub
Yeah, man.
joe rogan
You can't judge his jiu-jitsu.
unidentified
Fuck no.
joe rogan
It's like judging is walking if you get head kicked.
eddie bravo
Connor's jiu-jitsu is good.
Nate Diaz's jiu-jitsu is just way better.
joe rogan
You know what I'm saying?
brendan schaub
That's all it is.
joe rogan
If somebody punches you in the face and then you walk funny, like, man, you need to work on your walking.
No.
eddie bravo
They got memes of Conor in a kid's jiu-jitsu class.
That's one that's going around.
You know what?
He's hurt.
brendan schaub
He is good.
eddie bravo
Trust me.
Conor's jiu-jitsu is very, very good.
brendan schaub
Trust me.
eddie bravo
He's not a joke.
joe rogan
Especially in that first round was nasty.
Stand-up looked very good.
He's just, look, first of all, Nate Diaz is not a real 170, although he did fight 170 twice.
He fought Stungun Kim, and he fought Rory, Rory McDonald.
Remember that?
Fought those guys at 170. So he did have two fights at 170, but he's a 155-er.
But he's a big 155-er.
He's big and long.
I don't know if he could ever make 145. I just don't think he could do it.
Conor barely can do it.
You know, Conor barely can do it.
When you see Conor at the weigh-ins, I mean, those photos from the weigh-ins are pretty legendary.
I think it's insane that we do this, that we let these guys dehydrate themselves like that.
I think whatever Nate walks around at, that's what he should fight at.
And I don't know if Conor really walks around at 168, which is what he weighed in, and Nate rated 169. They're only one pound different.
Nate had some body fat on him because he wasn't preparing for this at all.
eddie bravo
I think Connor could make some noise at 155. Shrink that up so we can see the two of those together.
joe rogan
Look at the difference between how he weighed in before and how he weighed in this time.
I mean, my God, he looks like he has some fucking crazy disease that won't let food absorb in his body on the top one.
He's got some crazy illness.
And then on the bottom, he looks great.
Full-faced.
But, you know, if he can make 145, he's going to continue to do it.
eddie bravo
Do you think it's an accident that the ring card girls are, like, sitting right there?
Is that an accident?
It's perfect for the pictures, right?
joe rogan
That's why they stand there.
eddie bravo
Ultimate man.
It's to balance out the dude in underwear.
unidentified
You know what I mean?
eddie bravo
You've got to put chicks in there somewhere.
joe rogan
That's exactly where they do it.
That's funny.
That's funny.
eddie bravo
I think he could...
Completely dominate, continue to dominate the 145 division, and I think he could make a lot of epic fights at 155. Beat some big names, but then lose to some other big names.
He'll be one of the top guys at 55. I don't know if he'll just clean house like he did at 45, but I believe if he stayed at 55, he would do some serious damage.
He's a bad motherfucker, dude.
joe rogan
Yeah, he's a bad motherfucker.
eddie bravo
And the shit he's saying after the fight, that's all the perfect shit.
Perfect shit.
joe rogan
I love what he's doing.
I love how he's handling it.
I think he handled his loss better than anybody.
unidentified
Ever.
joe rogan
Ever.
He said, I'm humble in victory and I'll be humble in defeat.
eddie bravo
No matter what happened in that fight, his next fight, whoever he's fighting, he's going to get fucked up.
You know what I mean?
joe rogan
Maybe.
I mean, what if he fights Los Angeles?
Dos Anjos is always going to be a tough fight.
eddie bravo
He's going to cut him up.
I bet he tags him a few times.
joe rogan
I bet you're right.
eddie bravo
I bet he tags him.
joe rogan
I bet you're right.
eddie bravo
He's going to tag everybody.
joe rogan
He's going to hit some people.
eddie bravo
And just because he got knocked out, a lot of people, half the people get knocked out in fights.
He got knocked out.
joe rogan
He got cracked and he got choked.
But I'm interested to see how he handles the physicality of Dos Anjos, who's a lot more physical than Nate.
You know, Dos Anjos is a beast.
I want to know if he could do to Conor what he was able to do to Nate, what he was able to do to a lot of guys, like Pettis, what he did to Pettis, you know?
That guy's strong as shit.
I was so bummed out when he broke his foot.
I was like, God, that's a crazy fight.
eddie bravo
That's always going to be there, but fucking Nate.
unidentified
All of a sudden, Nate is in the...
Dude, that little stoner is gonna be...
eddie bravo
He's the best.
Dude, he's super famous now.
Everybody knows who Nate Diaz is.
joe rogan
Come on, dude.
He had the greatest all-time post-fight line.
unidentified
I gotta say, I'm not surprised, motherfuckers.
eddie bravo
You know what's funny?
You know what's...
In the beginning, Conor won the verbal battles.
The first couple press conferences, he kind of did.
Conor came full blown.
And then Nate won towards the end, dude.
I felt that Nate was in Conor's head.
I think it reversed it.
I think he was pissing Conor off that he kept saying, fuck you!
He just went gangster on him every time.
My crew will fuck up your crew.
Like I said, if you want to make this fucking serious, we're going to pass by you guys somewhere in this motherfucking hotel.
We'll jump you.
We'll do that.
You guys want to do that?
We'll actually jump you guys and it'll be all over fucking Sherdog and shit.
joe rogan
Well, do you know that Klaudia Gidea and Joanna Janjacek got in a full-blown street fight on the set of Tough, head kicks, everything.
You know, those two badass chicks.
Klaudia Gidea is a badass bitch.
You've seen her fight, right?
She's nasty, dude.
eddie bravo
You know what?
She's one that I have zero images in my head.
joe rogan
She's nasty.
Her and Jacek had a really close first fight.
Split decision win for Jacek.
So they coached opposite side each other because she's the number one contender.
unidentified
Okay.
eddie bravo
When does that air?
joe rogan
She's ferocious.
She's ferocious.
eddie bravo
I like the ultimate fighter.
joe rogan
Both of them are ferocious.
eddie bravo
And this one sounds like a good one.
joe rogan
Dude, Jacek is ferocious.
And Klaudia Gedelia.
Yeah, there it is.
eddie bravo
Dana White.
joe rogan
Gedelia, is that a Brazilian?
Yeah, man.
She's a Nova Uniao girl.
She's good, dude.
eddie bravo
Good jujitsu?
joe rogan
Fuck yeah.
Real good jujitsu and strong as shit.
Strong as shit.
When they fought the first time, where she was winning was on the ground and she was doing well on the feet too, but Joanna caught her with a big uppercut I think in the first round and rocked her.
eddie bravo
Was she trying to take her down?
joe rogan
I'd have to go back and watch it again.
I remember specifics that you want a cracker with a big uppercut and hurt her, but that Claudia had overwhelmed her in some of the ground exchanges.
And a lot of people were thinking that you and Jacek was going to have more problems with grapplers like Carla Esparza or like, you know, like Carla's a wrestler or like Juliana Panay.
What's her name?
No, Jessica Panay.
Jessica Panay, the second title defense that she had.
These girls tried to wrestle with her though.
You can't wrestle with her anymore.
She got better.
She's nasty.
She's really fucking slick standing up.
And apparently they just went to war.
They just, on the set, beat the shit out of each other.
eddie bravo
You're Dana White.
What do you do with Misha?
joe rogan
Dude, blow her up.
She's huge.
That fight was courageous.
I don't know, man, but give her a world tour first.
She won one of the greatest victories in the history of MMA. Down on the scorecards, in the fourth round, with two minutes to go, she hits a takedown.
Takes her back.
Almost gets shook over the top.
Hangs on.
Hangs on.
eddie bravo
That was so dramatic.
Dude, that was like the end of a movie right there.
joe rogan
She fought so smart.
She did everything that all the experts were saying she was going to need to do.
She did everything.
She avoided the kicks.
She didn't rush in.
eddie bravo
And she had to pull it off.
What was there, a minute left?
How much time?
joe rogan
I think it was somewhere around two minutes to go when she went for the takedown.
When she got a hold of her.
So you're down to...
Last round.
And she wasn't winning the round.
Nothing really had happened that was big and significant.
She had a takedown attempt stuffed.
eddie bravo
She was probably losing on the cards.
Could be.
joe rogan
I didn't look at the cards.
But she won that one round for sure when she took her down.
And that made everybody go, oh shit!
Was that the second?
Was it the second round that she took her down?
Was it dominating her?
eddie bravo
Yeah, I think it was the second.
Misha's wrestling surprised me.
Her wrestling is a lot better than before.
joe rogan
She's hustling, dude.
She hustles.
She keeps getting better.
eddie bravo
Because Holly Holm ain't easy to take down.
She works her takedown defense.
That's like her main shit.
She probably works on her takedown defense more than her jiu-jitsu.
joe rogan
This is the cards?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
So what is it saying, basically?
What do we got here?
This is hard to do.
These are confusing.
White, blue, pink.
There's a pink card?
I guess the different people.
It just says the referee's names.
Okay, so round nine, so 10-9.
Well, who's red and who's blue?
Misha's blue.
jamie vernon
Yeah, Misha's blue on the left.
joe rogan
Okay, so it must have been the...
Hmm, that's interesting.
Wait a minute.
jamie vernon
All three had 10-9 for the first.
joe rogan
Right.
jamie vernon
All three had 10-8 for the second.
joe rogan
Right, that makes sense.
jamie vernon
And all three had 10-9 for the third and for the fourth.
joe rogan
So does that make it a draw?
No.
That means Holly was ahead?
Well, how do they judge the fourth and then the fifth?
jamie vernon
She was ahead in the fourth.
joe rogan
So Holly was ahead by one point, right?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Even though she'd won three rounds?
jamie vernon
Yeah, so if she would have won that round, it would have been a draw, I guess.
joe rogan
Wow.
But she wasn't really winning the round right there.
brendan schaub
I'm surprised that they all gave him a 10-8.
joe rogan
That's good.
brendan schaub
That's very good.
Good job.
Who were their names?
Marcos Rosales?
Good job.
joe rogan
Yeah.
That was a real 10-8.
That's how a 10-8 should look.
Someone takes you down, beats the shit out of you.
What a finish!
That was what was amazing about it.
Holly fought smart.
She used that sidekick a lot.
She's so good with her movement.
She caught Misha with a lot of punches too, man.
But she wasn't going after her.
She would catch her with punches and stay on the outside.
She was fighting a smart fight.
And she got taken down.
She got dominated on the ground by Misha.
And that's when I was like, wow.
Misha's fucking top game is solid as a rock.
Like, her control is excellent.
And she's fucking strong, man.
She's strong, because Holly's strong.
Holly Holm is strong.
I was really impressed with her ground and pound, really impressed with her top game.
But then, you know what, man?
The next round, Holly Holm got right back on her fucking bicycle.
And probably, in everyone's eyes, won that round, right?
All those judges' eyes.
eddie bravo
To me, it was...
If that would have won a decision, I would have given it to Holly.
joe rogan
Yeah.
eddie bravo
Just based on, you know.
joe rogan
Depending upon how that fifth round ended.
eddie bravo
No real damage.
She never knocked Misha down.
She never hurt Misha, right?
She definitely hurt her.
joe rogan
She never hurt her.
She tagged her a couple times where, you know, she snapped her head back a little bit, but it wasn't anything like, boom, legs giving out.
eddie bravo
So, it was about to be...
Semi-boring decision overall, like who would want to watch that fight again?
The second round was kind of cool.
It was gonna be one of those fights, but just like that, Misha turned it into one of the greatest fights ever.
joe rogan
Amazing.
eddie bravo
Yeah, that comeback, that last second, that's like a grand slam in the bottom of the ninth.
joe rogan
And the scramble to get to the back, her scramble, the way she held on as Holly kept moving and changing and adjusting, she kept holding on, then finally the Hail Mary, Holly tries to flip her over the top and she hangs on.
She hangs on to the joke and sinks it in and gets the hooks in.
And when Holly goes to sleep punching in the air, oh my god!
brendan schaub
You know those old NFL films?
eddie bravo
Like when you watch those, the Super Bowl from 1978 or something, you have that voice.
And they're doing the slow-mo and all these old, you know...
Memorable plays, epic plays.
In 20 years, when they look back at that, and they have some old Orson Welles type narrator talking about going through all that transition.
There was a lot of drama going on there.
Man, she didn't just take her back and choke her.
There was a lot of shit.
There was a lot of shit to handle first.
joe rogan
So much was going on.
So much was happening.
eddie bravo
It was incredible.
Two rear naked chokes.
joe rogan
The scramble, though.
The scramble was just so epic, because the drama building up.
She's down on the cards, most likely.
eddie bravo
We can't watch that?
joe rogan
No, we can never watch that.
She's down on the cards, most likely.
She's about to lose a decision, probably.
Oh my God, she's got a hold of her!
Oh my God, she's on her back!
Oh my God!
eddie bravo
Oh my God, she's got a choke!
unidentified
Oh my God!
eddie bravo
It's over.
joe rogan
Exactly.
And then when Holly went to sleep, it was like she didn't even tap.
She just went out.
She went out punching.
eddie bravo
Yeah.
joe rogan
She was throwing punches when she went out.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Do you know how badass you have to be to go out throwing punches?
You know how badass that girl is?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
She went out.
She went out like throwing punches.
She didn't want to tap.
Fuck, that was a good fight.
unidentified
Woo!
eddie bravo
Yeah.
joe rogan
It's amazing.
Back to back, boom.
That was the best fight of the night.
eddie bravo
Was that the biggest UFC ever?
I mean, Jesus.
joe rogan
Yeah, it was the biggest UFC ever.
I mean, I would say it's the fight of the night, but it's not the fight of the night.
It's the same.
They're both equally insane.
There's no, like, one better finale or one better...
eddie bravo
I think the Conor fight was more exciting because all the way through there was a lot of damage going on.
There was a lot of fire going on.
With the Hawley fight, there was a lot of dancing around, taking shots.
joe rogan
There was a lot less action overall.
eddie bravo
Yeah, but if you take out a couple of those rounds and compress it all into one round, then yeah.
joe rogan
See, I don't think you've got to be pleased by it.
Through the whole thing.
I think what's most important is that after it ends, you have some definitive conclusion.
And if it takes a while to get to that definitive conclusion, I mean, it's going to.
If two fighters are tactical...
eddie bravo
You're right.
unidentified
But the end...
eddie bravo
It was because of that that made the end so good.
Like, without that...
Then it wouldn't have been so juicy at the end.
joe rogan
Exactly, because she had gone through the full five, when they were in the fifth round, and it was like, we've got to see, she's trying things, they're not working.
She tries this, it works really good.
Okay, now Holly's trying this, that's working.
Misha's trying that, that's not working.
Okay, now she's trying to start a kick.
She's got to do something different to get close to her.
How's she going to figure it out?
Down the score, shoots for the fucking takedown, grabs a hold of her, gets her neck!
Chokes are unconscious!
Oh my god!
eddie bravo
The place went insane!
Yeah, you wouldn't have been that low from that stuff.
joe rogan
Dude, the place went insane.
It went insane.
It was so epic.
And then...
Damn, Misha Tate, man.
Goddamn, she was so happy.
She's so nice.
You know, she's such a...
Like, her and Holly, they're both so nice.
It's so nice to see, like, nice people like that do really well in such a brutal, savage sport.
You know, she's really nice.
Misha Tate's never raised her voice at anybody.
She's never yelling at anybody.
She's like real friendly.
She's like real sweet.
To see her, the UFC bantamweight champ, I was like, wow, this is crazy.
What a performance.
eddie bravo
I think Holly is a little bit nicer, though.
joe rogan
She's super nice, too.
eddie bravo
She seems like some country wife, you know what I mean?
joe rogan
She's the preacher's daughter.
That's what they call her.
eddie bravo
She really is, right?
joe rogan
Yeah, she really is.
unidentified
Wow.
joe rogan
And she's tough as fuck.
Dude, she went out punching.
Out cold.
She was like throwing punches.
eddie bravo
She just wants to get back into it.
She just wants to get back in.
joe rogan
You know what I loved about the pre-fight speech when she was talking about the fight itself?
She was like, you know what?
Rhonda's going to be out for a while.
She goes, I'm not fighting for money.
I'm not fighting for fame.
I want the action.
I want to fight.
I'm like, whoa.
How wild.
That's how you got to think if you want to be great, right?
eddie bravo
You need something to focus on.
joe rogan
Yeah.
If you want to be a Holly Holm, I guess you have to be like that.
If you want to be a 19-time world's women boxing champion, you got to be like a crazy motivated person like that.
eddie bravo
She's got to fall in love with jiu-jitsu, though, because she's not the biggest fan of jiu-jitsu.
She really needs that.
joe rogan
You had said this before.
eddie bravo
I know that's hard to swallow, but you can't be one of those fighters that, and there's a bunch of them out there, that they didn't really want to get offensively good at jiu-jitsu.
They weren't attracted to passing the guard and taking the back and choking PPI. There's a lot of wrestlers out there that just wanted to keep it on the feet, do a little takedown defense, and if you have to take them down, stay in half guard and pound them out, and just keep it simple and keep it like that.
There's a lot of wrestlers like that.
Not that she's a wrestler, and there's strikers.
There's strikers like that, too.
There's been quite a few throughout the years champions that didn't really want to work on their jiu-jitsu the right way.
The right way, which is sparring with everybody and not picking or sparring opponents and just jumping into the fire.
That's how I know Connor's good, because Connor does that.
And he's going to get way better.
He's actually good at jiu-jitsu.
brendan schaub
Just Nate is a lot better.
eddie bravo
But I think Holly needs to have...
Somehow, somehow it needs to happen.
I don't know how.
But she needs to fall in love with jiu-jitsu because I think that's where people know.
I mean, that's the spot.
We haven't really seen her on her back.
We haven't seen her react to jiu-jitsu.
Now we have.
And Misha just exposed her.
And she needs to take care of that and fall in love with jiu-jitsu and start getting on Instagram, taking pictures with her gi.
You know what I mean?
And she's got a blue belt and be all happy.
She's got to be really happy about it because she needs to...
brendan schaub
There's a hole right there, and that's where people are going to try to take her.
She's not that hard to take down after all.
eddie bravo
I thought she'd be harder to take down, but Misha took her down.
joe rogan
Well, Misha mixes up her takedown attempts.
She goes up top and she goes down low, whereas Ronda's like upper body clinch.
She's really into upper body clinch.
Also, Ronda in that fight was so insanely aggressive.
Her charging after her made it so much easier for counters.
Misha was super crafty.
Very patient.
Very patient, varied her movement, varied her timing.
She didn't continue any patterns with her stand-up.
She moved around a lot.
She did a lot of juking.
She did a lot of different stuff.
Stayed on the outside, made Holly come after her.
If you're a really good counter-striker like Holly is, for her, the best thing is a Ronda.
Someone's going to run at her.
The best thing is someone running at her.
She's so fleet.
Her footwork is so excellent.
She's so light on her feet that she's so good at just sliding out of the way and cracking you while you're coming in.
It's one of the things she's best at.
So if you fight that way against her, that's the kind of fight that happens.
She looks like a master.
But if you look at her fight in the very first UFC fight with Raquel Pennington, she won a split decision.
And that was a fight where Raquel fought more cautious, a little smarter, new Holly's background coming in.
You know, if you don't, like, if you don't engage with her, it's like, remember when Anderson was in his prime?
If guys came after him, he just butchered him.
But if guys hung back, sometimes the fight was boring, right?
Like, um, Talos Latis.
Remember Talos Latis, like, hung back and he kind of waited for Anderson?
Um, same thing with Patrick Cote.
Patrick Cote hung back.
He just fought smart.
He's like, I'm not charging and running anything.
Come get me.
Come get me.
And Cote, like, always had a big right hand.
So everybody had to be real careful.
You always had to be careful because a guy, if you're coming at him, he could always catch you.
And if a guy like Cote catches you, he just had that stupid power in his hand.
He could just knock.
He knocked down Tito at 205. You remember that?
eddie bravo
He knocked him out?
joe rogan
Down.
Knocked him down.
Tito can take a shot.
But he knocked him down at 205. And he fights at 170 now.
You know?
I mean, Patrico taking crack.
So Anderson never won.
Remember Patrick blew his knee out in that fight?
eddie bravo
Yeah.
joe rogan
He went to throw a kick and his knee just gave out.
unidentified
That's right.
joe rogan
Exploded.
Yeah, he fought a very smart fight too.
When you fight a killer counter-striker like that, the big thing is let them lead.
They don't want to lead?
Make it a boring fight.
Let it be boring.
Move around.
Be patient.
Misha did everything right, man.
It's amazing.
eddie bravo
Ronda Misha 3 would be nice, right?
joe rogan
That's probably what's gonna happen.
That's probably what's gonna happen next, according to what I've led on the internets.
Is that what I've heard?
eddie bravo
I wonder what Ronda would want.
Would she want a rematch with her after a loss or a title shot?
joe rogan
If I was her, I would guess, rather.
That's a tough choice.
If I was her, I'd be a boy.
eddie bravo
Tough choice, right?
joe rogan
If I'm a boy, I can't be her.
If I was her, honestly, I would probably, I would imagine if I was her, I'd want to avenge the loss.
Because Holly was her first loss, and she doesn't feel like she did her best in that fight.
And that fight was just, she had too much going on.
If you hear her talk about it, it was like, there was just overwhelm with obligations and shit, and just fought wrong.
Just didn't fight correctly.
Just had real problems going into that.
And then you have, like, her approach.
Like, getting in Holly's face at the weigh-in.
Trying to make it real emotional.
You know?
You fake-ass bitch and all that stuff.
And then all that emotions when she fought in the ring.
Just running after Holly.
And Holly just fought like a master.
That was one of the best performances you'll ever see, of a striker negating a person's aggression.
Like, she just did it so brilliantly.
Catching her with elbows coming in, catching her with straight lefts, and then that fucking setup for the head kick when Ronda's all stumbling and she just catches her with that head kick.
I mean, just a spectacular mixed martial arts performance overall.
Like, one of the best.
Like, title-winning efforts in any weight class, as far as, like, a sheer domination.
It's right up there with T.J. Dillshaw, Henning Burrell 1. But more, probably more scary and impressive.
brendan schaub
That's one of the most spectacular highlight clips ever.
eddie bravo
Where she's getting clipped?
Ever.
joe rogan
Yep.
eddie bravo
Wow.
joe rogan
Amazing.
Amazing.
She's a badass, you know?
So what I think about Holly is, you know, Holly get back on track, and I really hope that she takes that advice that you just gave.
I think that'd be real smart.
eddie bravo
She's got to somehow fall in love with it and not fight it no more.
joe rogan
Well, I don't know if she fights it.
I don't know what the deal is.
Who knows?
You know, she's just so good at kickboxing.
I think she just wants to stay sharp in that and that's what she wants to do to girls because she feels like she has this big advantage against them in that.
But obviously she needs a little work on it.
And I think she'll get better, man.
She can still improve, you know?
And I think maybe there's also the overwhelming pressure that must come from being a champ.
That experience probably takes a while to learn how to navigate.
eddie bravo
I hope I'm wrong and she's already in love with it.
That would be awesome if I was wrong.
I'm rooting for Holly.
I like Holly.
How could you not like her?
brendan schaub
Of course.
eddie bravo
How could I not like her?
I'm just being real.
I'm sorry if it hurts anybody's feelings.
joe rogan
No, no, no.
eddie bravo
And I hope that I'm wrong.
You have no idea.
She's totally into it.
She just hasn't worked on it that long or whatever.
brendan schaub
But I would love to see Holly Holm with aggressive off her back and dangerous off her back.
eddie bravo
There's no reason why she couldn't be.
brendan schaub
She's super athletic.
eddie bravo
She has a crazy work ethic.
joe rogan
Did you watch CR, Bahar Dezada, and Brandon Thatch?
There was a fight on the undercard.
That's just a super talented guy, man.
Super talented karate guy.
But Baja Dozada was able to take him down and he just didn't have any answers off his back.
It's like one of those examples of a guy who's a really talented striker where you're not getting to see the full extent of his talent because he has a difficult time fighting off his back and he has a difficult time keeping guys from taking him down.
Guys are figuring that out with him, and a couple guys have dominated him on the ground.
It's just unfortunate, because he's so talented with his striking.
When you see a guy like that, you just want to go, man, if you could figure out a way to find balance in your skill set, how good would he be?
He's so good standing up.
But Bahar Dezada, man, my God, that guy hits hard.
He's got one of those weird punching power bodies.
It doesn't even make any sense.
eddie bravo
I'm not familiar with him.
joe rogan
He's from Afghanistan.
He was born in Afghanistan and grew up in Holland, I think.
But he is...
I want to say...
Who did he train with?
Oh, Greg Jackson.
He was at Greg Jackson's camp for this.
But he's been out for like 800 days.
He had some serious injuries, man.
eddie bravo
How many years is that?
joe rogan
Almost three years.
Yeah, a little bit more than two years.
He had both his labrums had to be operated on, broke his hand, fucked up his back.
eddie bravo
Which one's the labrum?
joe rogan
Inside your shoulder.
eddie bravo
Oh, shit.
joe rogan
He had a bunch of shit operated on.
So he was out for a long time.
So to see him come back, but to see Thatch in the beginning, you see him on his back, and he almost catches a triangle.
He just throws up his legs.
And if someone who had a really good triangle, like Nate, if Nate was in that same position, he would have got it.
He would have got the triangle for sure.
I mean, it was all there.
Or at least he would have secured it, and Bahar Dezada would have had to defend it.
But he couldn't secure it.
I was like, man, it was right there.
Like, he had the leg over.
He had the other leg here.
He was over like this.
There wasn't that much resistance.
Like, grab your fucking ankle, lock that in.
Like, what are you...
And he just didn't.
And then you see him, for the rest of the fight, was having a real hard time fighting off his back.
We see a guy that's that good.
He's so talented standing up, man.
You watch him throw knees and punches.
You're like, Jesus, this kid could be a fucking force.
He's just got to really polish up that ground game, especially off of his back.
This is a crazy sport, man.
You can't just have one way to go anymore.
You've got to have the whole thing.
There's very few people that are going to exist in this sport at the upper echelons with just one way to go.
One of the things that's so scary about a guy like Nate is that Nate's boxing is just as good as his jiu-jitsu.
You know, and sometimes you don't see the jiu-jitsu that much because he's so confident in his boxing and he throws down with guys, but guys go to the ground with him.
I mean, he's choked out some good dudes.
You know, he's fucking good.
eddie bravo
You gotta have some serious finishing power on the ground, whether it's on your back or you're on top.
At least with you on top, you better have finishing power.
Maybe you just used your bottom game for sweeps.
There's nothing wrong with that.
You don't have to finish the guy off your back.
brendan schaub
But it's always good.
It's always better if you're known to finish people off your back.
eddie bravo
Anytime I roll with anybody, even a purple belt whose specialty is finishing people off his back, there's always those dudes.
When I'm going to roll with Jeremiah, I almost rather have them mounting me.
If I end up in Jeremiah's guard, I'm going to, fuck that, mount me!
It's easier to get out of the mount than it is his rubber guard.
Seriously.
joe rogan
That's crazy.
eddie bravo
And there's few guys like that.
Like a boogie.
Anytime boogie put me in his guard, I go right to the mount!
Check out this sweep.
brendan schaub
You're a bad motherfucker.
joe rogan
Boom!
That's funny.
Isn't that crazy?
Because that goes against conventional thinking.
brendan schaub
Oh, yeah.
eddie bravo
But I don't have the greatest posture in the world.
brendan schaub
My lower back's all fucked up.
eddie bravo
So I don't try to posture out of shit.
brendan schaub
I go with everything, man.
eddie bravo
I'm like, you want to go that way?
Let's go.
And let me see if I can hold on and get a little clinch and then go back this way.
Bam!
I'm too old to...
brendan schaub
Force my way through anything.
joe rogan
That's probably the smart way to do it though, right?
That's the traditional way of jiu-jitsu.
eddie bravo
My jiu-jitsu is becoming better survival now.
brendan schaub
My guys are fucking me up now.
eddie bravo
There's this phase where I'm getting tapped out all the goddamn time now, man.
The only way I can tap out my certain purple belts is if I have gas.
If I'm tired and I take a round with one of my purple belts, I'll be fucking...
On survival mode the whole time, man.
My guys are coming with fire now.
Throwing leg locks.
You leave your feet out.
Damn.
It's pretty crazy now.
joe rogan
You getting any leg injuries?
eddie bravo
No.
brendan schaub
No.
joe rogan
No?
unidentified
No.
eddie bravo
Just my back.
Finally getting that displacement.
joe rogan
But I mean other people in class getting any knee injuries or anything?
brendan schaub
No.
eddie bravo
It's a myth.
joe rogan
Really?
brendan schaub
It's a myth.
unidentified
That's interesting.
eddie bravo
You'll hurt your arm or your shoulder.
At the same rate, you'll hurt your knee.
brendan schaub
We do leg locks all the goddamn time.
joe rogan
That's so interesting because that was always the worry.
eddie bravo
Tung Planet has always been that way.
brendan schaub
We never banned reaping.
eddie bravo
I never frowned upon heel hooks.
I personally never got really heavy on heel hooks.
I was always heavy on leg compressions, a different style leg lock.
I was always doing those.
Not really heel hooks so much, but we've always had heel hook masters.
joe rogan
I wouldn't have asked that if that wasn't something that comes up all the time when people talk about leg locks.
I know the answer, because if it was, I would have heard about it.
eddie bravo
I think it's a myth that leg locks are...
When we were brought up in jiu-jitsu, the whole Brazilian jiu-jitsu community banned heel hooks and frowned upon them.
joe rogan
Do you remember that?
Was that the time you were at a tournament and they started booing and screaming when you went for a guy's leg?
unidentified
Yes.
brendan schaub
When I first, during my white belt years and into my blue belt years, I saw Ken Shamrock instructional.
eddie bravo
He's wearing jeans and shit and he's got no shirt and he's wearing jeans.
And he's like in this small little gym and he's got this Japanese guy and he's doing this toehold from the top, from top half.
And I was always playing half guard right away as a white belt.
That's like the worst guard ever is a quarter guard.
I mean, it doesn't get any worse than that.
Anything worse is you got your guard pass.
So I was always playing the worst shit because it was small and weak.
But...
joe rogan
You would go after toeholds?
brendan schaub
Yeah.
eddie bravo
I learned it from Ken Shamrock, started going after toeholds, and I got pretty good at them.
I was tapping motherfuckers with them.
brendan schaub
And I did this tournament.
eddie bravo
It was the first Pan Ams, and it was in L.A. and El Segundo, 1996 or 97, the first Pan Ams.
I went for a toehold, and there was about...
500 Brazilians that they shipped in because it was the first Pan Ams and there was like this big retreat and they had them all in this hotel right down the street from the gym and it was mayhem and shit.
I'll never forget that.
We were in El Segundo in LA and there was 500 Brazilians that got shipped in for the Pan Ams.
And, of course, they dominated and they killed everybody in jiu-jitsu.
brendan schaub
But I did wrestle a Brazilian and I put them in a toehold.
eddie bravo
And as soon as I put them in a toehold, the whole crowd went nuts.
brendan schaub
It was a riot almost happened.
It was just a riot.
eddie bravo
I don't know what stopped them, but they were throwing shoes at the mat.
They were throwing water bottles at me.
And I was sitting there holding the toehold and everyone's screaming.
brendan schaub
And I'll never forget Johnny Machado comes running in slow motion and he slides.
He goes, you gotta.
Let it go!
Let it go!
eddie bravo
And I was like, fuck, and I let it go.
And then the guy beat me on points.
joe rogan
So Johnny Machado slid in and told you you gotta let it go because everybody was going crazy.
eddie bravo
Yeah, everyone was going crazy.
joe rogan
You weren't supposed to attack the legs back then.
eddie bravo
You weren't supposed to attack.
It was dirty.
joe rogan
Isn't that crazy?
eddie bravo
It was dirty back then.
And then in the parking lot, like that Mean Joe Green commercial.
Remember that old Mean Joe Green commercial where he's drinking a Coke and there's like a little kid?
joe rogan
Yeah.
eddie bravo
Well, I felt like a little kid because I ran into Eric Paulson in the parking lot and he was getting the same reaction when he was going for leg locks and he was like a blue belt at the time.
brendan schaub
And I think we're the same age, but for some reason I always felt like a little kid and he had all this knowledge.
eddie bravo
He was a blue belt in jiu-jitsu, but he had trained in Japan and fought in chudo and shit.
He was already like a professional fighter and was an expert at leg locks who just got into jiu-jitsu.
So he's competing at a blue belt, fucking everybody up with leg locks.
brendan schaub
It's Eric Paulson, young ass Eric Paulson, 24. And we're in the parking lot and he showed me this leg lock.
And he goes, listen, check this out, man.
eddie bravo
Don't forget this.
brendan schaub
Because he saw a little of him in me because I was going for a toehold.
He goes, oh fuck, look at that dude.
He's getting a lot of heat too.
Because he's going for a leg lock.
So right away...
joe rogan
But it was totally legal.
That's what's crazy.
You could have tapped the guy out and it would have been legal.
unidentified
Yeah.
eddie bravo
I don't know.
I don't remember what the rules said.
I don't remember.
joe rogan
So it might not have been legal.
eddie bravo
I thought they were legal and maybe it was illegal.
But even if it was illegal, the crowd erupted.
The Brazilians went nuts and were throwing shoes and screaming.
joe rogan
Today, though, it's illegal for some belt ranks, right?
Like in some tournaments?
brendan schaub
Yeah.
eddie bravo
You can't do heel hooks.
Gracie Nationals and Gracie Worlds, you can do heel hooks at purple belt and above.
White belt and blue belt, no heel hooks.
You could do straight ankle locks and knee bars at blue and no legs at all at white.
Zero legs at white, straight ankle locks, knee bars, leg compression at blue, and then they allow heel hooks, full reaping and everything, purple belt on.
Those are the best rules.
brendan schaub
I love those rules.
eddie bravo
You don't need heel hooks for blue belts.
brendan schaub
But like Naga, they let everybody heel hook.
And there's not this big epidemic going on where people are just getting their knees just ripped off.
eddie bravo
Not at any 10th Planet School.
Every now and then someone does get a knee injury, just like they do get an arm injury or shoulder injury.
Sometimes people get put on a heel hook and it fucks their knee up.
Sometimes, but sometimes it happens with the arm at the same rate.
We do heel hooks all the time.
No one's getting...
Every now and then someone gets hurt, but it's just part of the game.
joe rogan
But every now and then someone gets hurt from everything.
eddie bravo
Yeah.
If people were to get, trust me, as a businessman, if I saw that I'm walking around every night and I'm looking at what's going on, I know exactly who's playing what, everyone's different style.
brendan schaub
Especially at the purple belt level.
eddie bravo
I pretty much know where they're coming from.
brendan schaub
No one's getting hurt.
eddie bravo
Everyone's doing heel hooks.
Man, it's a different motherfucking world when you're going against leg lock experts that know jujitsu.
Like guys like Eddie Cummings.
joe rogan
Yeah.
eddie bravo
And Gary Tonin, like black belted jujitsu that are fucking hyper, super, ultra leg locky.
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Holy shit.
You better watch your shit.
So if you are not training leg locks, leg locks, you know, when everything, when it's submission only, when there's not all these stupid rules, when they just, when it's just like that jujitsu that you fell in love with.
Everybody falls in love with the jujitsu that they walk into their dojo and then they train for the first day and they fucking love it.
eddie bravo
They love it!
And they fell in love with what happened and what goes on every night in that class.
brendan schaub
There's no point.
eddie bravo
People are just rolling in there trying to get the submission.
brendan schaub
That's what you fall in love with.
eddie bravo
What you see at a tournament, that's not what you fall in love with.
No one goes to a jiu-jitsu tournament for the first fucking time and says, I love this, I'm gonna do this.
They fucking run.
They're gone.
That's how you turn people off to jujitsu.
Their first experience is a points tournament where there's 12 matches going on at the same time.
We'll see how long that lasts.
People that like jujitsu can't even hang.
joe rogan
Well, especially when it's with the gi.
brendan schaub
Exactly.
They'll be like, fuck this.
eddie bravo
They're playing tug-of-war this whole fucking time.
joe rogan
Jean-Jacques thinks it's boring.
brendan schaub
Yeah, exactly.
joe rogan
John Jacques is like, hey, it's so boring.
So many guys are just trying to get advantages and trying to score a point and hold on.
I think the rules that you set up for EBI are the best rules.
They're the best rules because you go a certain amount of time.
What is it, 10 minutes?
How many minutes are you?
eddie bravo
10-minute matches.
16-man tournament.
10-minute matches with overtime.
No points, no advantages, all submission.
You have to get the submission, you know?
joe rogan
Yeah, and what's really interesting is you've got this idea that, you know, until I saw it, I was not sure what to think of it.
I was like, hmm, all right, I don't know.
I don't know how the hell I was going to do this.
eddie bravo
The overtime on paper sounds crazy.
joe rogan
On paper, it sounds crazy, but in practice, it's the best thing.
Because if you watch a jiu-jitsu match, one of the things that happens if you're a casual observer, if you watch a Marcelo Garcia, some guy just attacks and strangles somebody like, whoa, that was amazing.
That guy's awesome.
I've showed some people that don't ever do jiu-jitsu.
I've showed them a Marcelo Garcia match, and you watch them choke somebody, and it's so spectacular to watch because his movements are so impressive.
They're so fast and lethal.
You know, but a lot of jujitsu matches will end in nothing.
Some guy gets on top, and then he reverses the guy.
Guy goes for a leg lock, he doesn't get it.
Guy goes for a choke, he doesn't get it.
The other guy winds up on top, they reverse positions, and you run out of time.
So when you run out of time like that, for a lot of people, it feels inconclusive.
So you decide you're going to have...
How many different rounds of it do they do?
Four rounds?
What's the most amount of rounds of overtime they can do?
eddie bravo
Well, first off, let me say that there's nothing wrong with the point game.
brendan schaub
If you like the point game, there's fucking nothing wrong.
You get really good at it.
You know what?
eddie bravo
You're going to get good at passing, and you're going to get good at sweeping, and your wrestling's going to be good.
unidentified
Nothing wrong with that.
eddie bravo
It's just good jujitsu.
brendan schaub
It's like a little subculture, cerebral type thing, positional thing.
Fucking nothing wrong with that.
eddie bravo
You could use that as a training tool.
Like getting good at points tournaments just because you're going to work on your passing and your sweeping and you might as well do points.
joe rogan
And for MMA, if you're lethal with punches and you like to do that, it's not a bad strategy at all.
eddie bravo
Yeah, there's nothing wrong with that.
I'm not trying to stomp that out.
I'm not trying to compete against that at all.
joe rogan
It's a beautiful thing.
eddie bravo
Let me explain what you do, though.
My goal has always been to create a jiu-jitsu show, and I thought it would have been done by now, and a lot of people have tried, to put a jiu-jitsu show together that's so exciting that it can compete on the overall entertainment value with an MMA show, like your average MMA show.
brendan schaub
I go, jiu-jitsu is so beautiful.
We're obsessed with it.
eddie bravo
Why can't we?
brendan schaub
What's going wrong?
eddie bravo
What's going wrong?
There's been a Professional Submission League.
Hickson even had a show.
brendan schaub
There's Metamorris.
eddie bravo
There's Polaris.
I mean, none of these shows, including mine, including mine, none of these shows are making any money.
I haven't made any goddamn money with my show.
We all know that in the jiu-jitsu community.
There's no money there.
brendan schaub
These shows fail constantly.
eddie bravo
What is it about it?
joe rogan
But they're works of passion.
And that's the reason why they're still around.
Like when you go to an EBI and you're in the audience, that is an audience of jujitsu enthusiasts.
Like everybody is pumped.
They're all very excited to be there.
And there's a feeling of a camaraderie in that kind of a crowd that's very different than a crowd that just comes out to see like a UFC event.
Because a lot of the people in the audience at a UFC are gigantic fans.
A lot of them are fucking fanatical.
A lot of them are like you and me.
A lot of them.
But there's a lot of other people that are just there because it's an event.
There's a lot of other people that goes there because it's a scene.
There's a lot of people that are on their phone half the time.
They're not even paying attention to the fights.
This is that too.
At an EBI... There's none of that.
It's all jujitsu freaks.
eddie bravo
Everybody knows.
joe rogan
And everybody's clapping for everything.
Everybody knows when a heel hooks close.
Everybody knows when a choke is close.
Everybody knows.
Everybody knows what's going on.
Everybody knows when a guy cinches up a triangle.
Everybody knows.
So there's a beauty to that.
But let me explain what you do, because we didn't finish it.
You have overtime.
So when a fight goes to a draw, like at the end of it, the time runs out, what you do is you take these guys and you force them into dangerous positions.
So you force a guy on a guy's back.
With over, under, and you start from there.
You say, ready?
Go.
And when you do that, then the guy on the bottom tries to get out.
The guy on the top in the good position tries to finish.
If the guy finishes, you move on to another round and the other guy tries to do it.
If he can't finish him, the guy who finished him won.
But he gets his chance in a bad position as well.
But if you have a stalemate over the rounds of that, you just count out the time.
Who got out the quickest?
Which guy escaped from the other guy's bad positions the quickest?
And you calculate the time.
eddie bravo
Well, traditionally, in overtime, with jiu-jitsu matches, it usually came down to wrestling, who had the better wrestling, because if there would be overtime, there's no points or whatever, they go into overtime, there's three-minute overtime, five-minute overtime, or sudden death, whoever gets the first points wins.
It's really going to come down to who has the best wrestling, because that overtime period, they both start on their feet.
So what's the most important thing on your feet is the wrestling here.
That's going to determine overall...
The superior wrestlers are going to win.
That's always been the case, really, in all the overtimes.
It always comes down to the wrestling, generally.
So I never really was a fan of that, because I've seen plenty of wrestlers in submission tournaments not know anything about submitting, but they'll run away with the gold medals just based on their wrestling.
And that's a beautiful thing.
I wish I had that wrestling.
But when it's a submission or jujitsu tournament, The best jujitsu should win, not the best wrestling.
The best jujitsu, the best at submitting should win.
A guy like Marcelo Garcia should win.
The overtime should make it so the best wins, generally.
So instead of starting on the feet, my overtime rounds, we start in terrible positions.
And it's like extra innings.
brendan schaub
If we were going at it and we went into overtime, you'd get a shot at my back And then I'll get a shot at your back.
eddie bravo
If you finished me, it's not over yet.
brendan schaub
I get a shot at your back.
eddie bravo
If I finish you, we tie.
We go an extra inning.
It's an extra round.
Three max.
Three max.
But it could end in that first round.
It could end in the second round.
If it goes all three rounds and we're still tied, whether it's a submission each or an escape each and another escape, and that's three total, or all escapes, we add a All the combined escape and submission times together and whoever had the quickest or shortest time wins.
So it encourages that when you're on my back that I'm not going to just sit there and just hold the choke.
You should try to get the fuck out because if this goes to a triple overtime, this is going to matter.
So what it does is it opens up a submission for the guy because the guy has to escape.
joe rogan
If it's confusing, you can go see it live.
You can see it on YouTube, right?
eddie bravo
UFC Fight Pass.
brendan schaub
You can see EBI4. That's where we're at now.
joe rogan
But the ones that you have now, there are some matches online.
If somebody wants to go and look at it right now, right?
unidentified
Yes.
joe rogan
And then the new one, the next one, the absolute one, this big crazy one, is going to be in April in LA. Sunday, April 24th.
eddie bravo
Is that the 4th?
April 24th.
joe rogan
And that's an absolute one, right?
Where you have all sorts of different weight classes represented.
eddie bravo
Yes.
I'm sorry, dude.
joe rogan
What are you doing?
eddie bravo
I want to make sure I got the day right.
Yeah, Sunday, April 24th, downtown LA at the Orpheum.
It's going to be streamed live on UFC Fight Pass.
joe rogan
Orpheum is an awesome theater, too, if you've never been.
It's one of those old, classic downtown LA theaters.
It's probably from the 30s or something, right?
When did they build that?
eddie bravo
I don't know.
joe rogan
It's awesome.
It's awesome.
So to watch your show there, dude, it's so cool.
It's so cool to see it blowing up.
Like last time we were there, we're sitting in the audience like, whoa.
This is amazing.
eddie bravo
It's crazy, right?
It's amazing.
I couldn't have done it without my partner Victor Davila.
He's the one guy.
I never wanted to be a promoter, man.
That's not something I ever thought I'd ever be, like a promoter for a show.
That's not what I was trying to do.
I was trying to come up with an idea that, like, Give it to another promoter to do it.
But nobody, everyone thought it was the dumbest idea.
They thought I was losing my mind.
They thought I smoked too much weed.
So then I thought, you know what?
I'm going to try to do it.
But the problem was, it was too much work.
I looked into it and I'm like, I can't do this shit.
But Victor came in, Victor Davila, he's the Spanish commentator for the UFC, came up to me and he said, hey listen, let me do all the work.
brendan schaub
It'll be your idea.
You run the show as an executive producer.
eddie bravo
Let me produce it.
I'll make it all happen.
And I'm like, fuck.
And he makes it really easy for me.
brendan schaub
That's awesome.
eddie bravo
When you walked in and saw the stage, I didn't have anything to do with that.
joe rogan
He's got a background in production.
I mean, working on television, he knows a lot of shit.
He's such a good dude, man.
eddie bravo
Victor's awesome.
He's one of my greatest friends ever, man.
joe rogan
He's the best.
We've known him forever, too, man.
When did we meet Victor?
eddie bravo
Working at the UFC. But when?
joe rogan
What year was it?
eddie bravo
That must have been 2008-ish, 2009-ish, something like that.
joe rogan
I think it was even earlier than that.
I think it was like 2006 or 2007, I want to say.
eddie bravo
I thought he was like four years old.
brendan schaub
His son was a big Brock Lesnar fan.
eddie bravo
It was back in the Brock Lesnar days.
That's what I remember for sure.
joe rogan
Yeah, there was definitely some...
That kid's awesome, man.
And he's training a lot now too, right?
brendan schaub
Yes, yes.
eddie bravo
He broke his arm, so he's been out a little while and stuff.
He's an EBI associate producer.
joe rogan
Did he break his arm in training?
brendan schaub
Yep.
unidentified
Arm crush.
brendan schaub
Arm crush.
joe rogan
Arm crush is scary.
brendan schaub
Yep.
joe rogan
That's a scary one.
eddie bravo
That's one of my favorites.
Arm crush is one of my favorites.
joe rogan
You rarely see it in MMA. You know, rarely.
So unusual.
When was the last time you saw a bicep crush in MMA? I think George Sotteropoulos did it.
Did he?
eddie bravo
I think so.
Back in the day when we used to work together.
I think he did it on George Roop.
I don't know.
I get the names all mixed up.
joe rogan
It's a crazy sport, man.
There's nothing crazier than MMA. I mean, you watch the combination of punching, kicking, and choking each other.
eddie bravo
You're seeing a lot more guys go for leg locks now.
You notice that?
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
eddie bravo
In the last UFC, there was a guy, he didn't pull anything off, though, but forget who he was, but he was all over dude's legs.
And he couldn't get hit in a lot of angles, you know.
Back.
joe rogan
You talking about, was it a Darren Elkins fight?
eddie bravo
Yeah.
Maybe.
Maybe.
joe rogan
Fuck, who was he fighting?
eddie bravo
Maybe.
joe rogan
God damn it.
It was a great fight for Elkins.
Why can't I remember who the hell he was fighting?
Too many people in that last card.
unidentified
This weekend?
joe rogan
Yeah.
unidentified
Skelly, I think?
joe rogan
That's right.
Chaz Skelly.
I think Chaz was like 4-1 in the UFC, and Elkins just dominated him.
Elkins moved to Sacramento, trained with Alpha Male, moved his family, said, fuck it, I gotta make a run at this shit.
eddie bravo
Is this the fight that I'm talking about?
joe rogan
Yeah, I think so.
Yeah.
And Elkins just ground and pounded him.
There was a couple times where he was going for Elkins' legs, but Elkins just ground and pounded his shit.
eddie bravo
I think you're gonna see a lot more leg locks now.
I think with Ryan Hall in there, there's...
No matter what, you gotta watch your legs.
Whether you can punch a guy in his face or not, you gotta watch your legs with Ryan Hall.
He'll take your leg off real quick.
joe rogan
I think everybody's aware, too, of the trend in jiu-jitsu.
eddie bravo
And Gary Tonin's talking about...
I mean, he's gonna do MMA. It's strange seeing Ryan Hall in there.
You know, it's strange because he's always been the jiu-jitsu guy, you know?
And we're going to see him.
He would do the MMA and he's in there now and he's throwing down and he's making some waves.
joe rogan
Yeah, Gary Tonin is going to be really interesting because he's been striking for quite a while, like really trying to tighten it up, really working on getting that in order.
And he's a smart guy.
He's not going to jump into anything like kind of half-assed.
justin wren
He'll have his striking in order before he has his first fight.
eddie bravo
He'll get some leg locks.
joe rogan
Oh, yeah.
eddie bravo
For sure in MMA. Yeah.
joe rogan
Well, he'll get a lot of chokes.
He'll get everything.
eddie bravo
Yep.
joe rogan
He's a bad motherfucker when it comes to jiu-jitsu and only getting better.
eddie bravo
Yep.
joe rogan
I think the MMA fighters are always aware of trends, you know?
And the big trend in jiu-jitsu, it's not like they're not going to pay attention to that.
There's obviously a leg lock bias going on right now in jiu-jitsu where people are training that really heavily.
They realize...
I think there's a bunch of people kind of knew leg locks and were good at leg locks.
But it seems like once Donaher and that crew got involved in it, there became like a whole new level of intensity when it comes to leg locks.
brendan schaub
Absolutely.
eddie bravo
Donaher's crew.
Gary Tonin, Eddie Cummings, and now Gordon Ryan.
He just got his black belt from Tonin.
joe rogan
And that all started from Dean Lister, right?
That all started from Dean Lister.
brendan schaub
Yep, yep.
eddie bravo
Dean Lister went down to Henzo's for a couple weeks, hung out with Danaher, showed him a lot of leg-lock shit.
I'm sure he probably leg-locked a lot of the upper-level guys and made an impression.
And then Danaher, he's like an astrophysicist.
brendan schaub
He probably took that shit that Dean Lister told him and just...
Just blew it up.
joe rogan
He's such a wizard.
brendan schaub
Just added so much stuff.
eddie bravo
And then Eddie Cummings is super smart too.
So he's taking all the shit.
Danaher showed him and he's adding a lot of shit.
Passed it all on to Gary Tonin.
And Gary Tonin already had rear naked chokes.
He already had great defense.
His jiu-jitsu is solid as fuck.
He added leg locks over the last few years and now fuck.
He's a fucking...
joe rogan
You want to hear something even crazier than that?
I go to Donaher.
I go, how did Eddie Cummings hurt his leg?
He goes, well, he was rolling with some of the other students that we have in the gym that might be a little bit more advanced than him with leg locks.
They just don't use them yet.
They don't compete.
And I was like, what?
You got guys in your gym that don't compete that are better than Eddie Cummings at leg locks?
You know how scary that is?
unidentified
He said that?
joe rogan
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Oh, shit.
joe rogan
You know how scary that is?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
With the way John Donaher says it, very definitive.
eddie bravo
Yeah.
joe rogan
Perhaps we have guys...
Maybe a little bit more advanced than him.
They just...
They don't compete.
brendan schaub
There's two kind of games now, man.
There's that because...
eddie bravo
You can shut down a leg lock game, but you got to have a solid, clinching, top-heavy game.
You got to have that slow, smashing, destroying game to stop those leg locks.
joe rogan
Who's the best at stopping leg locks right now with that game?
eddie bravo
Well, I'd have to say, I don't know who the best is, but I would say in Abu Dhabi, Lucas Lepre.
brendan schaub
Lucas Lepre.
eddie bravo
He went against Gary Tonin, and he...
Just hit him with a straight knee cut pass with that underhook and just didn't finish him, but he stayed out of leg lock danger and he won on points.
joe rogan
When was this?
His last year?
eddie bravo
This is his last year.
joe rogan
That's impressive.
eddie bravo
So, I mean, technically he beat Gary Tonin.
brendan schaub
Technically he avoided all the shit, smashed him down.
eddie bravo
I think he passed his guard.
May have even took his back even, to tell you the truth.
I don't remember.
I shouldn't say that.
But, um, nonetheless, though, he, uh, That's one kind of game right there, because he for sure wasn't going to start playing leg locks with Gary Tonin.
brendan schaub
Fuck no.
eddie bravo
He knew the game was like, we gotta stay away from that shit.
And you gotta know how to stay away, and you gotta be able to put some heat on someone's leg locks.
You gotta know how to get out of leg locks.
If you're not working leg locks all the goddamn time, you're gonna be so far behind.
You really, really are.
It's a whole new world growing out there.
And in the sub-only world, Submission-only community, if you don't know leg locks, you will never survive.
joe rogan
Isn't that interesting?
eddie bravo
You will never survive.
joe rogan
So go back just to when you were competing in the tournament as a white belt and people screaming and booing when you're going for a leg lock.
Could you imagine what it's like today, 2016?
Nobody saw this coming.
eddie bravo
Yeah, but there's still tons of resistance on leg locks, still.
joe rogan
That's amazing.
eddie bravo
Yeah, there's still jiu-jitsu instructors out there posting anti-leg lock stuff.
joe rogan
You know what?
The problem is, the legs are the strongest muscles in the body, right?
The legs are attached to the longest limbs.
You can move them in ways you can never move your arms.
You realize how limited your arms are When you're not using your legs to go after legs and to hold positions, you realize how it's kind of silly almost to use your arms as opposed to your legs.
brendan schaub
Most of the community looks at it in a negative way.
It's a positive thing.
unidentified
You have a whole other game to learn.
brendan schaub
It's a whole other game.
joe rogan
But that's the problem.
They don't want to learn the whole new game.
You know, people get really good at one thing.
They get really good at one thing, and then they want to stick with that shit.
eddie bravo
Yeah.
joe rogan
That's really what it is.
brendan schaub
They've got to get through that.
joe rogan
Isn't that amazing, though, that the very thing that made Jiu-Jitsu so popular in the first place was that it had figured out a way to make something the most technically effective, where a small guy like Hoyce can beat a big guy like Dan Severin.
It was using the techniques that work.
But then these new techniques that work, they're like, nope, I don't know those.
unidentified
No.
brendan schaub
You gotta stick to the old shit.
joe rogan
Only the old ones.
Like, that's bullshit.
We just gotta figure out how to defend against these leg locks.
Let's get the other boys.
Let's work this through.
Fuck this Muay Thai kickboxing shit.
That's never gonna catch on.
I mean, there was a lot of trends.
There was a point in time where people weren't throwing any head kicks.
eddie bravo
Dean Lister's going to do this next EBI, EBI6. Dean Lister.
Vinny Migales, who's one of those rare Brazilians who's really into Sambo, too.
He's been preaching leg locks, and he's very good at leg locks.
joe rogan
Very good.
eddie bravo
Yeah, amongst many other things.
joe rogan
Vinny's good at everything.
brendan schaub
Vinny.
We got Yuri Samoes.
eddie bravo
He's awesome.
joe rogan
He won Abu Dhabi, right?
brendan schaub
He was...
eddie bravo
I don't know.
I don't remember.
brendan schaub
I mean, that's a shitty answer for someone who's putting him on the show.
eddie bravo
All I know is he's really good and he fought in Abu Dhabi.
joe rogan
And he's a 205, right?
Can you find that out, Jamie?
unidentified
Yuri.
joe rogan
Spell it.
Y-U-R-Y. Simone.
brendan schaub
Y-U-R-I-S-I-M-O-E-S. Yuri Simone.
unidentified
Yeah, there's so much high-level talent now.
eddie bravo
Matias Diniz, he's from Marcelo Garcia, he's in it.
Bruno Bastos is in it.
These are like high-level dudes, man.
joe rogan
Yeah, so if you listen, if you're thinking about like, man, I never watched a Jiu-Jitsu tournament before, but the way these guys are talking about, it's making my dick hard.
This is what you do.
You go on UFC Fight Pass.
If you don't have UFC Fight Pass, if you like fights, man, this is the...
Is this him?
Yeah.
eddie bravo
He's one of the best guys in the world.
This next one, we're stacked now, man.
joe rogan
Yep, he won the Abu Dhabi, right?
Does it say?
Yeah.
brendan schaub
Did he win?
joe rogan
Abu Dhabi champion, first thing.
Oh, shit.
2015. I'm an idiot, dude.
He's a bad motherfucker.
Anyway, multiple-time world champion as a purple belt and an absolute...
He's just a bad motherfucker all around.
But what I was saying is if you've never watched a submission tournament, you've never seen guys try to submit each other, you're like, this sounds kind of interesting.
Get UFC Fight Pass.
I'm telling you, I don't want to sound like a shill.
I wish UFC would offer up like a free month of UFC Fight Pass so people would get addicted to it.
But if you're at home and you're bored and you're like, I don't know what to watch.
What's on TV? You just feel like vegging out in front of the television.
UFC Fight Pass will occupy your fucking time.
You can find the greatest fights of all time.
All of them.
eddie bravo
And we're doing five shows a year with them.
They want five, at least.
joe rogan
That's amazing.
eddie bravo
So we gotta pump them out every two months.
Bah, bah.
joe rogan
And on top of that, you know, you got the people that are UFC fans that are gonna leak into it.
You know, that's a big one.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
And they have a ton of different organizations as well.
They even have Glory now.
brendan schaub
Yep.
So cool.
eddie bravo
Gary Tonin and Eddie Cummings are both in this absolute.
DJ Jackson, Richie Martinez, Amir Alam, Rustam Chesiev.
brendan schaub
He was in Abu Dhabi.
I think he was second or third.
unidentified
This guy's a fucking huge wrestler.
brendan schaub
Rustam Chesiev.
eddie bravo
He's got hair on his back.
brendan schaub
He's just fucking...
joe rogan
Spell his name to Jamie so you can pull up the video.
brendan schaub
R-U-S-T-A-M C-H-S-E-E-V. C-H-S-E-I-E-V. This guy's an animal!
joe rogan
Yeah.
He's like what everyone is afraid of when you think about Rust and wrestlers.
brendan schaub
Yeah, exactly.
joe rogan
Everybody's afraid of a guy who looks like a real live wolverine.
eddie bravo
Can you see the hair on his back?
He's got it on his back.
joe rogan
How big is he?
brendan schaub
Dude, he is one of the...
eddie bravo
Everyone's afraid of this dude.
Very hard to do anything to this guy.
And he keeps getting better and better.
I think he was second or third in Abu Dhabi.
brendan schaub
He's a fucking animal.
joe rogan
He's got hair on his back like a werewolf.
Look at his fucking back.
brendan schaub
Nobody wants him, dude.
eddie bravo
No one wants to be paired up with that guy.
joe rogan
I couldn't imagine.
brendan schaub
He's really good, too.
eddie bravo
His passing is getting spectacular.
joe rogan
I wonder how long a guy like that can compete with that style.
brendan schaub
Oh, go ahead.
joe rogan
No, I was just going to say, that kind of smashing, crushing power style, boy, that's so taxing.
brendan schaub
He didn't used to pass as much.
eddie bravo
He used to just throw people around and get on top of them and wear them out, but now he's really good at passing and finishing now.
Guy's a gorilla.
We got Lucas Rocha, who's from Gracie Baja, one of the top guys.
brendan schaub
This is the most stacked we've ever been, man.
eddie bravo
This is super, super stacked.
joe rogan
That's so awesome.
What a great way to kick it off.
brendan schaub
Yeah, it's going to be nuts.
joe rogan
Great way to kick it off on Fight Pass.
eddie bravo
It's going to be fucking nuts, man.
joe rogan
That's so fun.
Isn't it amazing that it just became something, you know, just...
brendan schaub
I never planned on it, man.
joe rogan
Isn't that how it works, though?
That's how it works.
That's shit.
That's this thing, this podcast.
unidentified
Crazy shit.
joe rogan
Never planned on this either.
brendan schaub
Again, more shit.
eddie bravo
Like, 10th Planet wasn't even planned.
joe rogan
I know.
brendan schaub
Dude, I have nothing about that.
eddie bravo
I'm 32 years old.
I don't know nothing about no 10th Planet.
joe rogan
At 32. How crazy is it that we were in love with that Zacharias Hitchin guy's books, and now they think they might have actually found this planet.
brendan schaub
Is that for real?
joe rogan
Oh yeah.
eddie bravo
I don't even pay attention to that.
joe rogan
They have no photographs of it, but they are pretty sure to the point where they're stepping out and saying there's a large planet, probably about four times the size of Earth, that's outside of our source system.
brendan schaub
That was conspiracy theory stuff.
joe rogan
No, not anymore.
eddie bravo
It's real.
joe rogan
No, now it's mainstream scientists are saying this.
I think even Neil deGrasse Tyson has addressed it.
eddie bravo
People keep sending me shit, but I'm like, oh, it's another one of those things.
joe rogan
Jamie will pull it up, man.
brendan schaub
For real?
joe rogan
Yeah.
Well, Eddie turned me on to this.
He's like, dude, you ever heard of Zacharias Hitchin?
We got so deep.
We used to do bong hits and talk about the Anunnaki, watch documentaries on it.
eddie bravo
Some crazy stripper told me about it.
She's like, do you know that we used to mine the world for gold?
brendan schaub
And I'm like, Gina, what are you talking about?
eddie bravo
She goes, why do you think we like gold so much?
We used to be slaves.
I'm like, oh my God.
I just thought she was the craziest person ever.
brendan schaub
And then I thought about it for five minutes.
I used to make music with her.
And I'm like, wait a minute.
It is kind of weird that the one fucking thing we all agree on is that gold is money.
eddie bravo
That's the one thing we all agree on.
Nothing else!
Then I asked her, Gina, who is this guy who told you about this?
brendan schaub
What is this guy's name?
eddie bravo
And so she gave me his name.
I called him up.
I said, hey, I'm Gina's friend.
brendan schaub
She said you were talking about some crazy motherfucker who wrote books about us being slaves and all that shit.
He goes, oh yeah, it's some guy named Sitchin or Zachariah Sitchin.
eddie bravo
And I'm like, okay.
And I wrote it down.
Then I looked into him and That's how I discovered it.
joe rogan
This is all pre-internet, right?
brendan schaub
It was...
eddie bravo
Ish.
joe rogan
99, 2000. 2000. It was 2000. You had the internet, but it was harder to find shit back then.
The ninth planet.
Does it exist?
A 10,000 year orbit in outer reaches of our solar system.
So they're trying to figure it out right now.
But what they believe is, they've been believing this for a while, is that apparently there's...
The reason why they declassified Pluto, they said that Pluto's not a planet anymore, is because Pluto is a large body in the Kuiper Belt.
And the Kuiper Belt is a belt of just large asteroids and round things and shit floating around out there.
Which is really weird, because the photos of Pluto that they've released recently, the really up-close photos that they just released...
It's a fucking planet.
We're nitpicking here.
That's a goddamn planet, but they don't think it's big enough to be a planet.
Alright, whatever.
It looks like a fucking planet.
Pull up the photos of Pluto.
They're amazing.
brendan schaub
Yeah, exactly.
joe rogan
Have you seen them?
eddie bravo
No, I haven't seen them, but to me it's like, it's there, right?
It's there.
You call it a planet, you call it a dwarf, you think they're going to call it a dwarf 10,000 years ago?
Who cares what you call it?
It's something.
brendan schaub
It isn't like, oh no, it never existed.
It was a black hole.
No, it's a body of mass.
joe rogan
What they think is that there's so many of these out there.
They found another one.
Do you remember this?
You and I were at a bar having a drink one day.
Oh, here it goes.
These are the photos.
Yeah, fine.
This is some of the photos.
I think those are color corrected to show different things.
But there's some of the actual surface.
I think the far right one that you...
Um, no.
No, no, no.
This is the moon, Jamie.
There's some from the far right one.
eddie bravo
It says Pluto!
joe rogan
But that looks like the ones from all images right there, that's Pluto?
The one down below, above Planet X, that's Pluto?
eddie bravo
It says Earth's moon, though.
joe rogan
Yeah, but look, it shows all these different planets on this.
That's Earth's moon.
Yeah, that's Google search though, right?
Just go to the web search, and then just write recent photos of Pluto.
What is it?
New Cassini?
Is that what it is that took the photographs?
What was the...
eddie bravo
So there's a bunch of Plutos is what they're saying, right?
joe rogan
Yeah, there's a bunch of Plutos.
So they found another one.
You and I were at a bar once.
I remember this because I saw it on my phone.
So it had to be an iPhone.
Someone had sent this to me.
Dude, you got to check this out.
I clicked on the link and it went to a website that showed that there was a new planet.
And I was like, dude, they found it.
But it turned out it was right before they declassified Pluto.
They went, wait a minute.
There's a bunch of these fucking things out there.
These aren't really planets.
And so they think...
To make a long story short, there's a bunch of these things out there.
And then behind that is a thing called the galactic shelf, where it just drops off.
And that would indicate that there's a large, massive object out there, another planet.
eddie bravo
What if they're like, there's nothing there?
Major, there's nothing.
It's just blackness.
Who knows really what's out there?
joe rogan
Scientists?
unidentified
What do you mean?
joe rogan
Astronomers?
They have some pretty insane fucking telescopes now.
They can see some wild, wild shit.
They've identified hundreds of planets now, which is really weird because just a decade or so ago, they hadn't identified any outside of our solar system.
eddie bravo
It's only hundreds?
joe rogan
I think it's probably hundreds.
Yeah, look at that.
Woo!
Look at the surface of that thing, man.
That's crazy.
eddie bravo
You could take a picture of Pluto?
joe rogan
Yeah, but look at it.
That is a circular, round thing that looks like a planet.
So, but whatever nitpicky that that's not a planet, it's because there's a gang of those out there, dude.
There's a gang of them.
They don't know how many there are.
They're gonna find new ones.
This Kuiper belt, there's a bunch of little tiny objects out there that are like Pluto size, smaller than Pluto.
And I think they assume that they're gonna find more.
Because this object, whatever it is, it's outside, outside.
Like in the 10,000 year orbit around Earth is big.
Way bigger than us.
Four times as big as Earth.
eddie bravo
So it's outside all that, those little ones?
joe rogan
Outside all the little ones.
Apparently there's a drop off.
There's like the belt.
I might be butchering this and if I am I apologize.
But what I've read and try to remember was that there's something called the galactic shelf and that would indicate something that has a lot of mass.
Something that has a lot of gravity.
Something that's big.
And so they think it's bigger than...
I mean, they're saying it's four times the size of Earth, so it's something really big.
Just fucking nuts, man.
It's just nuts to think there's another planet out there.
And what's even more nuts is...
What if there's fucking life forms on it?
What if this thing in this 10,000 year orbit around Earth is heated by its core?
What if it gets its heat instead of from the sun?
What if it gets its heat internally and its life forces are all from it internally?
Imagine if that was a real story.
Imagine this Anunnaki thing.
Everybody laughs at it.
Everybody thinks it's funny.
But when the 10,000 years rolls around, that motherfucker gets close.
They really are a bunch of aliens living on that thing who made us.
Could you fucking imagine?
Nothing would ever mean anything again.
Your credit cards, how much gas is, nobody would give a fuck.
It would all be so back of your mind.
Everything would be in the back of your mind, except, oh my god, there's a planet out there, and it's a bunch of fucking people who made us out of monkeys.
They came down, they did genetic engineering experiments on monkeys, just like we would do.
Just like we would do.
If we fucking found some planet in outer space, especially if we were like scientists that were like thousands of years removed from us today, like way, way, way, way, way in the future, maybe millions, like a million years more evolved, they'd look at these monkeys like, we're just gonna help them out here.
Just gonna help them out.
We know where this is going anyway.
unidentified
Just grab them, shoot some fucking...
joe rogan
That'd be the greatest thing to experience ever.
Like, could you imagine how earth-shattering it would be if there was a real life form from another planet that we could absolutely identify, a real civilization, and they were super advanced, and they were coming by to visit?
Jesus Christ, son.
eddie bravo
I'd have some questions.
Would you immediately start in with Tower 7?
brendan schaub
We have no idea what we're inside of.
joe rogan
No.
eddie bravo
Like, we're just...
It's...
You can't even...
brendan schaub
It's...
eddie bravo
Aliens in space is...
brendan schaub
Man, remember how...
eddie bravo
We were so into them like in the late 90s or the early 2000s.
Aliens were like fucking always on my mind.
brendan schaub
Not anymore though.
I think it's because the History Channel killed that.
Ancient aliens.
eddie bravo
Maybe that was the plan all along.
You know what?
Let's kill this whole fucking alien movement by putting it on History Channel over and over again.
brendan schaub
But what if...
joe rogan
You called me up once, man.
Dude, you called me up once.
It was a hilarious conversation.
You go, dude, I'm just not into fucking aliens anymore.
eddie bravo
History Channel fucking killed it for me, man.
joe rogan
Do you remember that?
eddie bravo
How cool was that first season of Ancient Aliens, dude?
joe rogan
It was awesome.
brendan schaub
Fuck, it was going mainstream.
Zachariah Sitchin went mainstream.
joe rogan
It was awesome, man.
eddie bravo
Oh, then they did another season.
joe rogan
Well, they just ran out of shit to talk about, unfortunately.
Did it start off as a special?
brendan schaub
Maybe.
eddie bravo
Maybe, then it turned into a series.
But fuck, those first ones were awesome, man.
joe rogan
Boy Tsoukalos, he's awesome.
brendan schaub
Oh, man.
eddie bravo
When was the last time we talked to him?
joe rogan
Haven't talked to him in a while, man.
brendan schaub
I wonder if the overall industry is kind of down.
joe rogan
He got upset when I was honest.
What did you tell him?
About what I think about some of the stuff.
I just think that some of it is just too bullshitty.
It's just too...
It's like, could be.
It was aliens.
Like, oh, come on, man.
eddie bravo
They went to...
They're selling...
joe rogan
Look, there's a certain amount of that stuff that is absolutely fascinating.
When you look at some of the depictions of, like, aircrafts that, like, the Egyptians used to do, they used to make, like, these little model aircrafts with, like, a rudder.
eddie bravo
What do you think is the most compelling evidence for you, if you had, like, a UFO skeptic right here, and you had, like, five minutes, what's your go-to shit?
joe rogan
There's almost nothing.
brendan schaub
Nothing, right?
eddie bravo
Nothing.
joe rogan
That's what's fucked up.
unidentified
There's nothing.
joe rogan
There's not one thing you can point to.
eddie bravo
The Disclosure Project, all the witnesses and stuff.
joe rogan
Yeah, that's interesting, but they could all be crazy.
They could all be out of their mind.
You just never know.
You just never know.
There's all sorts of experiences that people can have, too, that are very, very unusual.
Weather condition things like ball lightning.
Ball lightning is one that's really crazy because apparently there's...
eddie bravo
Swamp gas?
joe rogan
Well, ball lightning apparently moves like some alien spacecraft.
And apparently if you saw ball lightning and they've identified it, it's like this really rare form of lightning that instead of coming down like really fast like a line, it can move around.
eddie bravo
Yeah.
joe rogan
And it's the same sort of idea.
It's like an electrical charge that breaks free.
I'm not doing a good job of explaining it, but I've seen videos on it.
I've seen it explained.
And I think if you were flying around, man, and you saw that, you'd probably think that was a UFO. And if you saw a lot of the experimental aircraft that they did, I talked about it with Shermer before you got here.
I think there's a lot of that stuff with just people seeing shit.
eddie bravo
For sure.
Most of it, probably.
But the more you get into how fucked up corporations are and how fucked up we've been for so long, the more you look at aliens like, ah, they are just distracting us with aliens.
They want us to think about fucking aliens.
You know what I mean?
It seems like a big distraction.
joe rogan
I think people love it.
I think that's why it's on.
I think it sells.
I don't even think they're trying to distract us.
I think it appeals to that archetype.
And it's one of the things that Shermer talked about before you got here in the earlier podcast.
We were talking about how it's like for a lot of people that are atheists, that becomes their god.
And it kind of makes sense.
It's like, well, I don't believe in fairy tales, but I believe maybe we were created by aliens who ran experiments on monkeys and they're all written.
Like, how come we won't believe the Bible, but we believe the Sumerian text?
eddie bravo
Yeah.
I think how funny that is.
That's an easy question to answer.
joe rogan
But how funny is that?
We're not into the Bible, but we're into some...
Those people were dummies.
But these people, 2,000 years before them, dude, they had it nailed.
What it is, it's not gods.
It's aliens, man.
They came from another planet.
eddie bravo
Well, it all depends on the story.
An alien story actually kind of makes sense because we're in space and shit.
There's a lot of planets and shit.
joe rogan
Look, I always think of it as, would we do it?
Would we do it?
eddie bravo
Do what?
joe rogan
Would we run experiments on some life form that we saw on some other planet?
unidentified
Fuck yeah!
Of course!
joe rogan
What do we do to monkeys?
We're testing AIDS medicine on monkeys and shit.
We would do some weird shit with some monkeys from another planet too.
eddie bravo
We're probably doing some weird-ass shit on this planet that we don't know about.
joe rogan
Oh, for sure.
eddie bravo
There's got to be clone humans everywhere.
joe rogan
Especially not in America, where you don't have any rules.
You can go to some countries, they'll do anything.
China's started doing experiments on human embryos, like genetic experiments on human embryos.
eddie bravo
Just raise hitmen, you know what I mean?
Just genetically modified...
joe rogan
Supermen.
eddie bravo
Yes.
joe rogan
Yeah, I mean, it's just a matter of time before they do something like that.
If they can do this genetic engineering and get through a few generations of it to the fact they got the kinks ironed out...
And start making a series of Alexander Corellins with an Einstein brain.
eddie bravo
Yeah, can you imagine if they can have a brain beyond Einstein?
If you could create a human or a clone, but you could do something so the brain develops like 10 times stronger, and you're just like, you could read minds and shit.
joe rogan
It's probably going to happen.
It's definitely going to happen.
And then when that does happen, and we see some poor monkey on some other planet, and we're fucking flying around out there in space, we'll be like, let's fix that, dude.
Just give them a little of our jizz.
Just squirt it in there.
See if we can figure it out from here.
Take that monkey.
Re-engineer it.
Give it a language.
They probably would have figured out language if we gave them enough time.
Do you know they think that chimps are starting to enter into the Stone Age?
eddie bravo
It looks like I was just watching a documentary of a monkey, and everyone's seen those videos of monkeys with sticks, and they're using it to eat ants and shit like that.
joe rogan
Orangutans, yeah.
eddie bravo
I was watching a video of a monkey who broke off a stick and started banging the bark to get some honey that was under the bark, but the stick wasn't big enough, so he throws it, and then he helps and grabs another one, carves it all out, and then starts, bah, bah!
Isn't that amazing?
He should probably be using that as a weapon at this point if he's doing that.
You know what I mean?
What happens then when they learn how to use it as a weapon on each other and shit?
joe rogan
Well, what's amazing is what if what we're seeing is them learning it?
What if what we're seeing is like, you know, when they're just starting to observe this now, what if in our lifetime they start using tools?
It seems like that's what's going on because either it's one of two things.
Either they just didn't have enough video of them back then, and they didn't have enough people observing them to really realize they've probably been using these tools for 100 years or so, or they just started doing it in our lifetime.
You know?
That could be possible.
Have you ever seen Snopes this?
I want you to Snopes this because I don't know if this is true.
There's an orangutan that's fishing with a spear.
He's hanging off of a fucking branch over this river and he's got a spear.
There's a photo of it.
I just don't know if it's true.
It looks so good.
It's always one of those things.
It's one of those things that I've always wanted to Google, and I'll get to that tomorrow.
I just never get to it.
I got other shit in my life to worry about.
eddie bravo
It's so easy to fake people out these days.
joe rogan
But I remember.
I just remember.
So I have to get...
Do you see it, Jamie?
jamie vernon
I don't see it on Snopes, but it says it's true, although the ape didn't sufficiently...
Didn't develop the skill enough to catch fish.
joe rogan
Whatever.
Show the picture.
This is what's crazy.
Look at this.
Come on, son.
Are you fucking kidding me?
This is true?
Okay, if this is true, that's a goddamn weapon.
That orangutan is sticking a long stick into the water.
It's true, although ape did not develop sufficient skill to catch any fish.
Yet.
eddie bravo
He's trying.
joe rogan
This is insane.
eddie bravo
You would think humans would speed up that evolution, right?
joe rogan
Exactly.
Man.
eddie bravo
They're probably learning from watching fishermen and shit.
joe rogan
Yeah.
jamie vernon
You might have to learn that water refraction thing, and that might not be capable of doing that.
joe rogan
Oh, right.
Yeah, that's right.
Water refraction is a big factor in bow fishing.
These people who fish with bows and arrows, if you look at a fish, Say if you look down in the water and you see like the fish would be where this laptop is.
It's not really there.
It's like six inches lower than that.
But there's this weird refraction thing going on because you're looking through water.
So it's like looking through like a funhouse mirror kind of.
So you have to learn how to shoot under.
And the orangutan might not be able to figure that out.
Very smart, Jamie.
Did you figure that out on your own?
You fucking wizard.
Powerful, Jamie.
Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.
But how crazy is it seeing him try that?
Orangutan by himself with a pole.
I mean, he's not in a zoo.
He's not like at the circus.
Nobody taught him that.
Those things are smart as fuck, man.
eddie bravo
He's gonna be a crazy fucking karate dude who goes out to the jungle, starts teaching monkeys.
Kendo.
joe rogan
Look at him.
eddie bravo
Give him swords and shit.
Can you imagine if they got supplied the gorillas with swords?
joe rogan
Samurai swords.
I mean, that's...
Planet of the Apes is not that far off.
eddie bravo
How hard would it be to teach him?
Like if Jane Goodall got all evil and shit?
She started teaching him how to fucking cut...
joe rogan
You know Jane Goodall believes in Bigfoot?
eddie bravo
Does she?
joe rogan
Yeah, she might be crazy.
eddie bravo
There's a comeback for Bigfoot right there.
unidentified
She might be crazy.
joe rogan
Not only does she believe, she's certain.
She's certain.
eddie bravo
Is there videos for her talking about it?
joe rogan
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Pull up Jane Goodall.
Jane Goodall believes in Bigfoot.
It's insane.
When you listen to it, she's way smarter than me, and she knows way more about primates than I do.
So I talk shit, and I say, I don't think Bigfoot's real.
He might be, but I don't think it's real.
But when I hear someone as smart as her, who basically lives in the jungle, I mean, she's in the jungle so goddamn much, she might as well live in the jungle.
And this is what she says.
Listen to this.
unidentified
Might not be her talking, we'll see.
joe rogan
No, I'm pretty sure it is.
unidentified
Now, I know you do wonderful chimp calls.
Well, I'm going to do the greeting.
jane goodall
It's the kind of sound you'd hear if you went to Gombe and you climbed up onto the ridge.
joe rogan
How long is this video?
jane goodall
And if you're lucky you'll hear a chimpanzee who's calling out saying, "Here I am, it's a wonderful day, where are you?" And...
unidentified
Five minutes.
*Sings* Wow.
jane goodall
And each one has his or her own individual voice, so you know exactly who's calling.
joe rogan
Where's Bigfoot, bro?
unidentified
It's a pleasure to speak with you.
I want to know if you believe there are any undiscovered...
Oh, here it is.
You're talking about Yeti or Bigfoot or Sasquatch?
Is that what he's talking about?
Yes, yes he is.
Pretty much.
I'm out of the loop.
Go ahead.
jane goodall
Well, now you'll be amazed when I tell you that I'm sure that they exist.
I've talked to so many Native Americans who've all described the same sounds, two who've seen them.
There was a little tiny snippet in the newspaper just last week which says that British scientists have found what they believed to be a yeti hare and that the scientists in the Natural History Museum in London couldn't identify it as any known animal.
unidentified
Did you always have this belief that they existed?
Well, I'm a romantic, so I always wanted them to exist.
Animals were my passion from even before I could speak, apparently.
joe rogan
I think that's it.
eddie bravo
Well, a couple people told her that they saw one, so...
That's what she said.
She didn't see it.
She's been in the jungle for 75 years.
joe rogan
But they're not supposed to be in the jungle, though, where she goes.
They're supposed to be in the woods.
Where is, um...
What did she say?
The University of what?
See if you can figure out what she said.
Like, what university is that is testing a Yeti hair?
Because I think that's bullshit.
I would have heard about that.
When I was on the sci-fi show, we tested some stuff.
We tested hair.
There's a guy, Todd Disotel, from one big university in New York City.
I forget which one.
NYU, I guess?
Yeah, I guess he's an NYU guy.
And I hope I'm not wrong, Todd.
But he's a geneticist.
And so we ran tests on feces and on hair.
And the hair was bear hair and the bear shit, too.
And maybe some dog hairs, too.
eddie bravo
What made him think it was Bigfoot shit?
joe rogan
Not him.
He didn't think it was at all.
I think we got Bigfoot shit.
No, he's dedicated to disproving it.
But there was other scientists that gave us stuff.
eddie bravo
That's the one I'm talking about.
What made him think it was Bigfoot shit?
brendan schaub
It doesn't smell like bear shit, bro.
Smell it.
Smell it.
How would they know?
eddie bravo
Maybe the bear had fucking bad fish or something.
joe rogan
Well, they can't even agree on what it eats.
brendan schaub
They were so sure it was Bigfoot shit.
joe rogan
They can't agree on what Bigfoot eats.
I'm good.
brendan schaub
Who the fuck discovered that Bigfoot shit?
We gotta find that dude.
joe rogan
I met that dude.
eddie bravo
The guy that found the shit?
joe rogan
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I had a conversation with him, too.
He's a nice guy.
He's a teacher.
brendan schaub
Okay.
joe rogan
In a school.
brendan schaub
Where did he find it?
joe rogan
Public school teacher.
In Oregon.
Found it out in the woods.
He's like, this has got to be Bigfoot shit.
I'm going to take it with me.
I would think Bigfoot would lay logs, like as big as my thigh.
Just giant.
You ever see an elephant take a shit and you see his asshole open up and you go, good lord.
Just flopping out of there, this giant asshole.
That's what I imagine from Bigfoot.
eddie bravo
Do you believe that some people believe in Bigfoot, but they also believe in a different kind of Bigfoot?
It's like a different kind of Christian church.
It's like Lutheran.
Yes, we believe in Bigfoot, but we believe it's an interdimensional being.
joe rogan
I've heard that one.
brendan schaub
What do you think the chances of that being real?
joe rogan
Probably 100%.
brendan schaub
Dude, it's not just Bigfoot!
joe rogan
Listen, bro.
I don't believe it's interdimensional.
brendan schaub
I believe it's real, okay?
joe rogan
I gotta stop you right here, bro.
I'm one-eighth Native American on my grandmother's side, and those are people.
Our people have long known of the existence of what we call the Omar.
I have a bunch of different names for it.
eddie bravo
You know what?
Every time I go up to Oregon or Washington or do a seminar, I ask the guys by show of hands who believes in Bigfoot.
And most of them do.
brendan schaub
Most of them do.
joe rogan
Yeah, well, keep them up there.
eddie bravo
Most of them have heard stories, you know.
joe rogan
I believed in it for the longest time.
And I don't disbelieve in it today.
eddie bravo
I don't disbelieve in it, but that's one you can make fun of.
But if they found Bigfoot, I wouldn't be like, oh, fuck!
I'd be like, oh shit, that's real.
joe rogan
I definitely don't disbelieve in it.
eddie bravo
And you know what?
And I'll just say it.
I think maybe he is interdimensional.
brendan schaub
You know what I mean?
eddie bravo
That's my gut feeling.
joe rogan
I'm going with my instincts!
Bro, you know, you can take your science, but at the end of the day, it's all about faith, bro.
It's all about knowing in your heart.
It makes sense.
eddie bravo
That's why you can't find them.
brendan schaub
Motherfucker just disappears.
joe rogan
I know in my heart and I'll defend it with my life.
eddie bravo
That's the only fucking answer.
joe rogan
I know, bro.
eddie bravo
It's interdimensional, bro.
joe rogan
That's what I'm thinking, bro.
eddie bravo
That's why they can't find them.
joe rogan
You can't put Bigfoot on camera, bro.
He knows about cameras.
That's not gonna happen, man.
He's not gonna appear where it's a camera or disbelief.
eddie bravo
Just because he doesn't wear clothes doesn't mean he's primitive.
He's super intelligent.
joe rogan
They know you don't believe, bro.
eddie bravo
He's at one with nature.
joe rogan
He's not gonna be near you unless you're pure.
eddie bravo
He's super intelligent.
You can't find him.
joe rogan
You've gotta live with the Sasquatch for them to- Bigfoot, don't shit.
There's a bunch of dudes who've claimed to have had, like, friendships with Sasquatches.
Like, they move into the woods and they stay there for months at a time.
And then they tell people they've had these stories.
There's audio recordings.
Of what they call samurai talk.
You want to hear audio recordings that people think is a Sasquatch?
You want to laugh?
unidentified
Oh.
joe rogan
You ready to laugh hard?
eddie bravo
I could do Sasquatch.
jamie vernon
She didn't say it was at a university.
It's the Natural History Museum in London.
unidentified
Okay.
Okay.
eddie bravo
No, no, no, no, no.
joe rogan
Hey, Eddie.
eddie bravo
Isn't that Bigfoot?
joe rogan
Jesus Christ, no.
unidentified
That's Bigfoot.
You just made that up.
joe rogan
You can't just make a noise and say it's Bigfoot.
eddie bravo
That was Bigfoot.
No, no, no.
joe rogan
They have a...
It's the dumbest recording ever.
Samurai Chatter.
Listen to this.
Get ready for this shit.
You're going to blow a gasket.
We had to analyze this on the show.
This is when I knew my show was retarded.
unidentified
Listen to this.
And he was there one time with a friend, and every evening they used to hear some absolutely bizarre noises.
and calls and they couldn't figure out what the hell it was and so they took up a tape recorder one time and this is what they recorded okay it is very bizarre indeed We
decided to record the sounds on a CD and a cassette and make them available to people.
joe rogan
Oh, what a good move.
unidentified
I do believe these creatures are trying to communicate with us, though.
And we, as we speak, are having the linguistics people look into it.
They are very encouraged.
What they're saying so far is that humans...
Nobody's looking into that shit!
...that the range supersedes what a human can do.
joe rogan
The range supersedes what humans.
unidentified
By a previous study at the University of Wyoming to be spontaneous and no signs of being re-recorded or pre-recorded at altered speeds.
So the idea of a hoax is very improbable as far as professionals are concerned at this time.
joe rogan
What year is this?
That they made this video?
Got uploaded?
2013?
Look at that.
Does anything look more like a man in a monkey suit in that picture?
But here's the thing.
Imagine if they really did sound like that.
I mean, what does chimp sound stupid to?
If you heard that, but like more complicated, with an actual language, like dolphin noises sound stupid.
If dolphins didn't make those noises, and you heard the dolphin noise like...
unidentified
You'd be like, that's not a language.
joe rogan
What is that?
How weird.
Imagine if that shit's real.
Could you imagine?
There's like 20 of them.
They're all just living deep, deep, deep in the woods.
eddie bravo
What's more believable, Bigfoot or Loch Ness?
joe rogan
I think Loch Ness is probably a really big fish.
Like some kind of really big fish, like a sturgeon or some shit.
Something really big that there's not that many of them.
eddie bravo
You see that video of that guy petting a great white shark?
joe rogan
Yeah, it's on my Instagram.
eddie bravo
Oh, really?
joe rogan
Yeah, yeah.
eddie bravo
Yeah, maybe I saw it on your Instagram.
joe rogan
You might have, yeah.
eddie bravo
It's ridiculous.
unidentified
That's insane.
eddie bravo
That's crazy.
joe rogan
It's one of the weirdest fucking videos I've ever seen in my life.
eddie bravo
It's like a little great white plan.
It's like, yeah.
joe rogan
It's coming out of the water and he's touching its nose.
eddie bravo
Whoa!
joe rogan
I know.
What the fuck?
eddie bravo
No wonder pirates are fucking scared and shit.
You know what I mean?
They probably dealt with that shit on the daily.
brendan schaub
Oh my god.
Dude, can you imagine?
eddie bravo
Can you imagine a pirate fucking ends up on the coast of South Africa?
joe rogan
Oh my god.
eddie bravo
Dude, the story's there.
joe rogan
Yeah, that's the craziest pirate.
brendan schaub
The great wives just hang out there.
There's just a shitload of them there.
joe rogan
Look how insane this is.
This is so insane.
It just keeps opening its mouth and those gums.
Look at the gums and then these fucking destructor teeth.
They're scarier than any monster in any movie ever.
And they're 100% real.
Look at the fucking teeth on that thing, man.
I mean, what the hell?
brendan schaub
And they fly out of the water.
joe rogan
Oh my god.
unidentified
Oh my god, those things are so insane.
joe rogan
Just imagine that clamping down on you.
I mean, it's cartoonish.
A shark's teeth are cartoonish.
They're giant swords, serrated-edge swords, and there's rows of them in their mouths.
So if one snaps off, another one moves forward.
What a just spectacular animal.
Just one of the craziest creations of nature.
Or Thor.
Did he make sharks?
Was it Odin?
Who makes the sharks?
eddie bravo
Who makes sharks?
joe rogan
Yeah, if it was a god, which god would make sharks?
eddie bravo
Oh, I don't know.
That's a good question.
joe rogan
That fucking thing.
I can't watch this, Jamie.
I'm freaking out.
eddie bravo
If I had a hundred trillion dollars, I'd build this fucking...
Instead of an octagon, it's just this giant fucking ocean and put Great White and Killer Whale in there to fight?
joe rogan
Killer Whales win every time.
eddie bravo
You think so?
Every time?
joe rogan
Every time.
Great Whites are not smart.
And they're not nearly as mobile.
They're not smart.
They just swim around like shit.
eddie bravo
You dump them in the tank.
What would happen?
joe rogan
You've never seen videos of killer whales?
eddie bravo
You just dump them.
How long would you think it would take before the killer whale attacked the Great White?
You just dump them.
In a big tank.
Would you pay to watch that?
joe rogan
You could watch it on YouTube.
eddie bravo
No, but there's never any good video of it.
There's no good video of a killer whale jacking.
It's like splashy and shit.
joe rogan
I would say yes, but you can never put a killer whale in a tank.
I think putting a killer whale in a tank is just beyond fuck.
eddie bravo
For ten minutes.
joe rogan
No, no, no.
You can't do that.
You can't force it to fight.
I think it's like forcing a person to fight.
It's like picking up a slave.
eddie bravo
With money, you can do anything.
joe rogan
Okay.
Well, you're going to go in a helicopter and pick up some guy from the middle of the fucking Bornean jungle and make him fight in a cage fight.
Would you do that?
Would you drop him in there with a guy who's trying to kick his ass?
unidentified
Or drop him in there with a wild dog or something crazy?
eddie bravo
That wouldn't be that exciting.
I'm talking about the most exciting possible matchup ever.
joe rogan
I know, but what I'm saying is dolphins and whales and killer whales are too smart.
It's fucked up to do that to them.
eddie bravo
Oh, I see what you're saying.
joe rogan
They're too smart.
eddie bravo
I see what you're saying.
joe rogan
That's why I would never do it.
eddie bravo
A great whale would never have a shot.
joe rogan
Never shot.
eddie bravo
Maybe they get a fucking rabid one from South Island.
They got to find a really good one.
We found a good, we found a gamer.
joe rogan
Killer whales, I think they could definitely get the babies.
eddie bravo
Maybe you get a dumb killer whale, or a baby killer whale, and a fucking full-grown ferocious great whale.
joe rogan
This is the most ridiculous fucking conversation.
Probably the great white would bite right through it, right?
If it was a baby.
But when they're fully grown adults, I think killer whales are bigger and they're way smarter.
They're just way smarter.
And they just go right after the sharks.
They go after them and decide to fuck them up.
The video is this.
Apparently they were watching a mother and her daughter or her son.
You know, the mother and her baby.
And a killer whale.
The killer whale was swimming around with its baby and the shark showed up.
And the killer whale was like, hold on, I'll be right back.
Just went and fucked that thing up.
eddie bravo
They got that on video?
joe rogan
Yeah, they got it on video.
And then I think the killer whale brought the shark up.
Didn't it bring the shark back to display it?
jamie vernon
I'm trying to look it up now.
joe rogan
They got a recreated thing of it.
Oh, really?
jamie vernon
Because it wasn't that.
joe rogan
There's no way they could have got a fucking video camera down there.
Yeah, look how much bigger it is.
See, this is the dead shark at the end.
So this is the killer whale biting the fucking shit out of that shark.
They just don't have real good footage of how it went down.
unidentified
That's footage from some Discovery Channel show they just pieced in.
joe rogan
Probably, right?
They do that shit all the time.
eddie bravo
Now when I'm watching the fucking Discovery Channel, it's like, dude, there's no way you got that shot.
You got that whole thing happening.
joe rogan
You see it now.
eddie bravo
It seems fake now.
joe rogan
You see it now.
But killer whales versus sharks, I think, unless the shark is really big and the killer whale is really young, I think killer whales are just way too smart.
They're like a person almost.
Just they don't move like us.
So we don't consider them like us.
But they have crazy languages.
eddie bravo
Great white versus dolphin.
joe rogan
They kill dolphins.
They eat them.
eddie bravo
Great whites kill dolphins.
joe rogan
They eat them.
eddie bravo
Fuck, I didn't know that.
brendan schaub
It's bullshit.
joe rogan
They kill them.
brendan schaub
I thought they fucked sharks up.
joe rogan
They do.
They fucked dolphins up too.
brendan schaub
What was that, Chips?
What show was it?
joe rogan
Make sure I'm correct about them eating them.
I know they kill them.
eddie bravo
How could they catch a dolphin?
joe rogan
Maybe they don't eat them.
They kill them.
Dude, I'm telling you.
brendan schaub
Great whites kill dolphins.
joe rogan
They kill whales, too.
No, not great whites.
No, orcas.
Did we say great whites?
Yes.
brendan schaub
Oh, okay.
eddie bravo
I knew the killer whales.
joe rogan
Yeah, killer whales.
unidentified
They definitely kill dolphins, too.
eddie bravo
Yes, for sure.
joe rogan
Great whites do, too, if they can.
If they can get them.
eddie bravo
I was talking about great whites.
joe rogan
Oh, my God.
I'm tired.
I thought you said...
That's so stupid.
I thought you said killer whales.
eddie bravo
But for sure, a great white ain't gonna kill no dolphin, right?
A great white?
joe rogan
They can, yeah.
If they bite them, yeah, they can get them.
If they fuck up, if somebody fucks up.
But I think that the size difference between killer whales and great whites is just too big.
But it's just very disappointing when you find out that great whites, or that killer whales, rather.
Not great whites.
I keep saying great whites.
The killer whales are killing dolphins.
eddie bravo
And they kill other whales, too.
joe rogan
Yeah.
eddie bravo
Like, you know, the Arctic, the North Pole's melting.
There's, like, these whales that are out there that killer whales can't get to because of the ice.
They can hang in the ice because they don't have a dorsal thing or something, and they can swim through the ice.
But now that all the ice is gone, killer whales are coming up to eat them.
joe rogan
Yeah, isn't that crazy?
eddie bravo
So they're eating other whales so much that it's fucking up the Eskimo economy because they kill those whales.
But now the killer whales are killing the whales they kill.
Isn't that nuts?
joe rogan
They rely on whales they kill.
brendan schaub
Yeah.
joe rogan
God.
brendan schaub
So they need help.
They need to do something about the killer whale problem.
joe rogan
How many people are up there?
Do they like it up there?
These people that are living off whales, are they enjoying themselves?
eddie bravo
What is it?
brendan schaub
What keeps about that?
joe rogan
They've never been to Arizona.
eddie bravo
There's not a fence, right?
They stay.
joe rogan
They should come to Phoenix.
eddie bravo
It's fucking 100 below zero.
brendan schaub
They're like, we're just going to tough it out.
joe rogan
It's not good, too.
It's not good as far as the way their health is.
brendan schaub
Well, it doesn't the population doesn't grow out there.
eddie bravo
It's always the same.
I think the kids end up graduating and saying fuck that.
Like Curtis Hamborow, Ted Planet, Austin head instructor from Alaska.
They all get the fuck out.
brendan schaub
They don't stay.
joe rogan
Well, Alaska is one thing like Anchorage is badass, but this is like the where the people are eating Whales and shit, they're like north of that.
They're like way up there.
They're like in the frozen parts.
Anchorage is actually close to the coast, so it's not a bad place to live.
eddie bravo
I've never been to Anchorage.
joe rogan
It's fucking great, man.
eddie bravo
Is it like Vancouver?
joe rogan
Like a colder Vancouver where it's only dark out for like an hour in the summer.
It's weird.
You go outside at like 4 o'clock in the morning, it's bright out.
Bright out like 5 o'clock at night.
Bright out.
And it's like 4 in the morning.
You're like, what the fuck is going on here?
brendan schaub
I got a little of that in Sweden.
eddie bravo
Because when you go to Sweden, it's kind of north.
So it's like the sun's still out and it's 11 o'clock at night.
And the sun is still in your face.
But I've never been that north.
Never been to Alaska.
joe rogan
It's crazy up there.
eddie bravo
You did comedy up there?
joe rogan
Yeah.
I did comedy in Anchorage with Ari.
It's beautiful.
People are badass, too.
eddie bravo
Did you get in some bow and arrowing?
joe rogan
No, we were fishing.
We went salmon fishing while we were up there.
It's beautiful, man.
Just beautiful.
That was the first time I saw an actual live in the flesh eagle.
Like outside of the zoo, like watching a big-ass eagle fly right over your head is a trip.
We had an eagle fly, you know, shit, 100 yards over our head.
eddie bravo
They'll take a baby, won't they?
joe rogan
They probably avoid people.
But if you leave your kid out on the lawn, yeah.
Yeah, if you just stand back and let, if they're hungry, especially if there's something wrong with them, like they're too tired to go get a salmon, and they're getting old.
I mean, eagles get old, too.
That's when, like, a lot of animals get dangerous.
When they get older, like cats, big cats, they get dangerous, and they get older, they can't catch dogs anymore.
You know, and they're fucking hungry, man.
They gotta figure something out.
A fucking eagle taking your baby?
Can you imagine how you'd feel if you're looking up and seeing an eagle fly off with your kid?
eddie bravo
There's that video, right?
It's fake.
It ended up being fake.
I think I believed it for two minutes.
unidentified
I believed it.
joe rogan
I believed it.
I believed that just like I believed the orangutan fishing video.
eddie bravo
Oh, man.
Oh, wait a minute.
So it's not real.
joe rogan
No, it is.
It is real.
He just didn't pull it off, but it really was trying to do it.
The orangutan was.
Yeah, man, there's just...
So many videos like that and so many, it's hard to know what is right and what's not, you know?
eddie bravo
With the Photoshopping skills like Photoshop Steve.
joe rogan
Oh my God.
eddie bravo
Oh man, that guy's obsessed.
joe rogan
He's so good.
Like things like that, right?
Like you look at those pictures like, okay, that could be real or not real.
You know, it's so good.
eddie bravo
Photos don't mean shit.
You have photo evidence really, you really do.
joe rogan
Well, when is it going to be?
How long is it going to be before we...
I guess it's probably already happened, right?
Where they've proven that photographs that are used in propaganda are faked.
It must have happened.
Didn't happen during the Iraq war?
Wasn't there some fake photos of missiles or something like that?
God damn it.
eddie bravo
I bet they do that shit all the time.
They green screen and they pretend they're in Lebanon and shit when they're really in Virginia.
They've been busted pretending they're in the Iraq war and bombs are going off and they got helmets on and shit.
joe rogan
They have been busted doing that.
Yeah, they have.
brendan schaub
Yeah, it's like on YouTube.
joe rogan
I know.
eddie bravo
They left the cameras rolling for, the tape is like an hour.
You can go on YouTube.
CNN, during the 91 Operation Freedom War, they were fake in the news.
unidentified
It sounds so funny.
joe rogan
It's so ridiculous.
brendan schaub
You know what?
And good for them.
eddie bravo
They're supposed to be doing that shit.
brendan schaub
They're supposed to be doing that shit.
eddie bravo
You run that empire!
brendan schaub
You know what I mean?
joe rogan
I don't think that's what they're doing, man.
They're trying to put together...
eddie bravo
You think they're saving money?
joe rogan
They're trying to put together entertainment, man.
They're trying to put together entertainment.
eddie bravo
Hey, what about Operation Mockingbird?
You take that, that was real.
And that was a real...
joe rogan
Which one was that?
eddie bravo
The CIA infiltrating broadcasting and journalism for propaganda purposes.
brendan schaub
This is a real operation.
joe rogan
Well, there's been some real operations that are undeniable, that are pretty fucking crazy.
eddie bravo
And then how crazy is it that at CNN, it's rumored that based on how they present stuff, based on how it's going down, what they show, what they're pushing, and based on the agenda, Any retard will say, now, you can't believe Fox News.
Even retards say that.
Even retards say, you can't believe Fox News.
Everybody knows that.
Well, CNN's just like that.
It's just the other side.
So that's easy to believe.
And then Anderson Cooper was in the CIA. He denied it for a long time.
Then he came out and said, I was just there for a summer.
joe rogan
He was like an intern, right?
Is that what he said?
brendan schaub
Once you're in, you're in.
eddie bravo
He was in.
How come you denied it at first?
And then his family comes from...
Super wealthy background, the Vanderbilts and all that shit.
It's like, I don't know, man.
joe rogan
I was going to say, the other one that's really crazy is Operation Midnight Climax.
You ever hear about that one?
unidentified
Nope.
joe rogan
The government ran brothels in San Francisco and New York, and they got guys who came in to get laid, and they dosed them with LSD so they could study them.
eddie bravo
That's not a conspiracy theory?
joe rogan
No, no, that's real.
That's 100% real.
Freedom of Information Act.
Operation Midnight Climax.
How the CIA dosed San Francisco citizens with LSD. Now, how crazy does that sound?
eddie bravo
If we said that happened today, like it's going on today, you would be thought as a crazy man.
But it's happened before, unless that's not true.
joe rogan
No, no, this is true.
eddie bravo
Well, then it happened before.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Blow this up a little bigger so I can read it.
Here it goes.
brendan schaub
You're crazy if you think they'll do it again.
joe rogan
Lift it up.
brendan schaub
You're considered nuts.
eddie bravo
That's crazier than any conspiracy theory I believe in.
That's the craziest one.
joe rogan
Listen to what it says.
It's been over 50 years, but Wayne Ritchie says he can still remember how it felt to be dosed with acid.
He was drinking bourbon and soda with other federal officers on a holiday party in 1957 at the U.S. Post Office building on 7th and Mission Streets.
They were cracking jokes and swapping stories.
Suddenly the room began to spin.
The red and green lights on the Christmas tree in the corner spiraled wildly.
Richie's body temperature rose.
His gaze fixed on the dizzying colors around him.
unidentified
He got jacked.
joe rogan
Somebody dosed him.
But that's not...
This guy is not the guy...
I think this is...
He's talking about being dosed at a party.
He's not talking about Operation Midnight Climax, is he?
Because Midnight Climax was about brothels.
That's why they were calling it Operation Midnight Climax.
eddie bravo
But this guy's talking about getting...
Feeling the...
joe rogan
Yeah.
He definitely...
Well, he's a...
Let's see here.
eddie bravo
Sounds like he was high.
joe rogan
They were participating against their will in these studies is what it was, essentially.
Whatever.
Just go Google into it.
Look into it, folks.
Google into it.
I don't think that's a real term.
But it's really interesting because what had happened was they were doing these studies on soldiers and they just couldn't get people to do it anymore.
People were like, get the fuck out of here.
They didn't want to do it anymore.
So then they started to figure, let's just try it on some other people.
They figured if they did it in a whorehouse, nobody would say anything.
Guys don't want to admit they were there in the first place.
Just dose them up with acid, then walk out of there all crazy.
eddie bravo
Smart, goddammit.
brendan schaub
They do a lot of smart fucking shit.
eddie bravo
Goddammit.
It's all set up so brilliantly.
I mean, just the fact everybody knows that there's corruption at the top levels in the CIA. Not everybody, but there's a lot of corruption.
Everybody knows that, and it's okay.
It's like the people that are really running shit, like the corporations and the international bankers, like, they...
The CIA is right there with nobody to sue, no one to throw in jail, no one's accountable.
brendan schaub
It's just right there.
eddie bravo
They're involved in all this shit, just like what you just posted.
They're involved in that shit.
No one's accountable.
joe rogan
Well, you know what I think is going to happen?
What I see as possible to happen?
The same thing that's happening with performance-enhancing drugs in the UFC. That with someone like Jeff Nowitzki, when they have these USADA guys that are just...
Showing up at your house 4 o'clock in the morning, taking random tests.
They have all these crazy things they could test for that no one even knew about, you know?
So slowly but surely, everybody's forced to be natural and compete naturally.
And that's what we're seeing right now in the UFC. It's just too risky.
They're too good.
They're too sophisticated, right?
So as far as we know, everybody's fighting natural.
But we also know that they definitely didn't.
They cheated like a motherfucker.
Everybody did.
In other organizations, we know it.
We know guys who did it.
We know guys that would just be juiced out of their fucking mind, and everybody else was juiced out of their mind, too.
And that's how the game was being done.
Everybody was competing on that level.
So we know that.
So in a lot of ways...
I think that's because of something like, you know, the new understanding of how to test people and something like the UFC hiring Novitski to go after this, right?
But that's data, right?
It's information.
All that information, as it does come out, they're forced to do it straight and narrow.
I think that's going to be the case with government at a certain point in time.
I think the people that are making a fuckload of money in corporations are going to make a fuckload of money anyway.
But they're not going to be able to manipulate environmental laws the way they're doing now and get away with it.
It'll be more transparent.
They'll not be able to influence politicians to influence laws to make it favor their business.
They just won't be able to do it so easily.
I think there's always going to be money to be made.
There's always going to be people buying cars and buildings.
There's always going to be commerce.
But I think There'll be less fuckery in the future.
That's what I think.
Corporate fuckery.
I hope so.
I don't think you can hide things forever when it comes to, like, some of the practices that some corporations that are unscrupulous will engage in that aren't necessarily ethical.
Like, how about the BP oil spill, right?
Like, how about how the other, you know, the way they cleaned it up and they made people...
There's people in that town that...
I mean, how much of a loss was that to them?
How could you possibly compensate them for that?
eddie bravo
I don't know too much about the BP oil spill.
joe rogan
BP oil spill is pretty fucking crazy.
eddie bravo
I know it killed the Gulf and all that, but I don't know the details.
I don't know.
There was some kind of, you know...
I don't know anything about it.
I haven't looked into it.
joe rogan
It was one of those things that they pulled the oil out of the ground.
eddie bravo
Yeah, and there was an explosion.
joe rogan
It was exploded.
eddie bravo
Killed a lot of animals and ruined a lot of industry.
joe rogan
Shooting fucking oil into the ocean.
eddie bravo
Yeah.
joe rogan
It's crazy.
It's amazing how many gallons were being pumped into the ocean, and even more amazing how the ocean just sort of absorbs it.
eddie bravo
What do you think of Trump?
joe rogan
That's a long question.
eddie bravo
I don't know if we have time for this.
joe rogan
I think this is a strange time.
It's strange to see a president that is...
Okay, whether you like him or don't like him, whether you support his beliefs or you think he's the worst thing ever, I'm just looking at it as objectively, like as a performance piece.
There's never been a guy that understands how to manipulate the media the way he does.
Never.
No one even close.
Everything he does is a big story.
He says outrageous things, and because he says outrageous things, they tune in to make sure he says more outrageous things.
The more outrageous things he says, the more people go, he's saying outrageous things!
Let's tune in!
He's the biggest show in town.
Like, it's not even close.
It's not even close who generates more Attention.
Who's got people more riled up about it?
People are bored as fuck.
They're bored.
They're bored.
They hired Obama, they thought everything was gonna change, and it, I guess, did a little in some fronts, and it was good socially, and the world's evolving in that way, in that direction anyway, so that's all good.
But Guantanamo Bay's still open, people are still in Afghanistan, it seems like the, you know, it's still chaos everywhere.
I don't know if anybody could have ever fixed it, right?
We're just bored.
We're bored.
What is this?
What are we doing?
What is this world?
Why are we in the Middle East?
What is going on?
Why do I have to worry about war?
Why do I have to worry about gas?
Why do I have to worry about global warming?
What's going to happen with the polar bears?
God damn it!
And then all of a sudden this guy comes along telling you how big his dick is.
He says, I'm going to build up a fucking wall a million miles high, keep the Mexicans out.
It sounds like Joey Diaz.
eddie bravo
The first wall they built, they didn't finish.
joe rogan
Yeah.
eddie bravo
They already put up a wall.
joe rogan
It's crazy.
And everybody cheers.
You know, and the Mexican president calls me up and says, who's going to pay for that wall?
You're going to pay for that wall!
And the wall just got ten feet higher!
And he hangs up the phone and everybody's cheering.
He really said that?
Yes.
Yeah, he told the guy, the wall just got 10 feet higher.
You know what I told him?
The wall just got 10 feet higher.
And everybody goes, yeah!
eddie bravo
Oh, I would love to see that clip.
Can you find that clip?
joe rogan
He's like a movie from the 80s.
donald j trump
And yesterday, the top person, president of Mexico, said, we will never, ever pay for that wall.
unidentified
And the press called me up.
And they said Calderon, the head man.
Top person.
He said he won't pay.
He won't pay for it.
eddie bravo
And you know what I said?
donald j trump
I said, the wall just got 10 feet higher.
unidentified
That's right.
joe rogan
He fucked it up by keep saying it's true.
It's true.
It's true.
He's so strange.
It's just so bizarre.
I feel like...
I feel almost like I'm watching one of them late night televangelist shows where somebody wants your money.
I'm like, you can't have my money.
Look at you.
You already have money.
You can't get my money.
It feels like it's fake.
It feels like this is the final piece of the simulation theory.
eddie bravo
Yeah.
joe rogan
The final piece of the show where it's going to reveal that this has all been a comedy all along.
All been a strange comedy.
brendan schaub
I mean, do you think he's really...
joe rogan
He's better than the other ones, except for Bernie.
He's better than all the other people on the Republican side.
I mean, Marco Rubio seems like a reasonable guy in a lot of ways, the way he talks.
I don't know exactly what his beliefs are, but him and Trump, they get into these insult competitions and it looks so foolish.
It's like, just because Trump does it, just don't do it better than him.
Don't do it better than him.
Talk about how ridiculous it is.
And don't allow that guy to...
He's talking about how big his hands are and they're going back and forth with each other and insulting his hair and insulting his spray tan.
It's like they're roasting against each other.
This is not presidential.
Do you understand?
You guys have a limited amount of time.
eddie bravo
They bagged on his tan?
joe rogan
The fake tan.
Yeah, and Trump was bagging on Rubio, wearing makeup.
The whole thing is ridiculous.
Like, this is a terrible way to have these people together.
Like, to have these people all competing, then what you're gonna get is who's the best at, like, giving you a sound bite under pressure.
You're not gonna get who's the best leader.
Who's the best at doing that debate thing?
That's what you're going to get.
Because it's a weird thing.
You're standing up there on a podium.
You're right next to a guy who's talking shit about you.
What he's saying is not even true.
And you're like, you can't even respond.
You've got to wait.
Like, fuck you, man.
It's a stupid way to talk.
And the fact that they time them, they give them like, ready, go.
No, this is what you do.
You let them talk for a long period of time.
If they're long-winded and boring, people don't like them anymore.
That's what happens.
You put them in a long form.
Have them talk for hours and hours.
Let them talk on a podcast.
Every fucking presidential candidate should have a long-form podcast that they have to do every day.
And we see whether or not people want to listen to you.
Not, like, have someone barking at you on the left.
Tell me what the fuck you can do.
And then have someone talk to them that understands what can and can't be done.
Have someone who's a real political expert sitting down and asking them some hard questions.
And do it all the time.
And based on that and their qualifications, but based on, like, back and forth bullshit bickering with each other and insulting each other on our spray tans and your...
That's so crazy.
You guys are going to run the greatest army the world has ever known and you're acting like assholes.
This is so stupid.
This isn't just a bunch of guys trying to win a game show.
If you win, you run the world.
And you're insulting each other on makeup and tan?
You should be saying, do you know how fucking stupid it is?
That we're talking about, we have a five minute time period that you get to talk in, or whatever the fuck it is, and you're gonna spend your time insulting each other on hand size, and you guys are babies.
You know you can't be the king.
No, you guys are not the best.
There's no way you could be the best.
So, like, he is involved in that, and Ted Cruz is like super religious, which always makes me go, man, I don't know about that.
Ben Carson is super reasonable, but super religious.
Trump is the guy that stands out as at least he's a rich guy that doesn't give a fuck.
eddie bravo
Are there anything, any good things that Trump says that you agree with?
joe rogan
You know what, man?
I honestly have been so blown away by the bad things that he said that I've barely paid attention to the good things.
But the shit that he said about Mexico, like, you know, well, someone's doing all the raping.
Like, you know, bringing over murderers and rapists.
And I was like, oh, my God.
Like, you just, that's a whole country.
You're talking about millions of people.
You're talking about, you know, like, well, someone's doing the raping.
He says some crazy shit, and it works.
Man, it works as far as, like, if it's all a PR campaign, and he just gets in there and he says, ladies and gentlemen, look, I said what I said, and I did what I did to prove a point that our media system is corrupt.
This whole system is broken.
It needs to be fixed.
It's like a bad computer.
It needs to be rebuilt.
This is not good.
Like, you can't have a guy just juke the system like I just did.
That would be the most amazing thing.
If he gets into office and says, this is a very important position.
So no more insults, no more bullshit.
And now that I'm here, I'm going to just hire the best people and we'll try to figure out what the fuck's wrong with this country.
How amazing would that be?
If he said, look, I had to insult these dummies in order to get in there.
I couldn't let Hillary talk shit.
I had to go in there guns blazing.
I had to take out Ben Sanders and fucking Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio.
But now that all that's done, we can all work together.
eddie bravo
What do you think of Hillary?
What is your opinion of her?
joe rogan
I don't know how you can be entrenched in the system for as long as she's been entrenched in the system and not be the past.
That's the system, right?
The system is...
These special interest groups and lobbyists and making deals and sitting down with all these people.
In one hand, she knows more about government than any of them.
She knows more about government than...
For sure, Trump, right?
I mean, he knows about influence.
He knows how to influence politicians.
He donates money to politicians.
He understands all that.
But as far as being in the boardrooms when the shit goes down, Hillary's like, she's been right in there.
So as far as qualifications, no one's got more qualifications for president than Hillary does.
The problem is...
We all agree.
I think we all agree.
And this is not a knock against Hillary.
We all agree that this system is fucked.
It's ridiculous.
Representative government is kind of crazy.
The idea that you can have a bunch of people, they vote, and they vote for one person, that person represents that state, and then they try to pick the president, you have the electoral college, and all this wackiness.
We all agree that that's kind of crazy, right?
We all agree that it doesn't make much sense.
There's a lot of things we don't get to vote on.
There's a lot of decisions the country goes one way or another way that we were really unhappy with and it would be nice if we had like a giant public debate.
So the only person that's going to change that, the only person who's going to knock that off its ass, is Trump.
Because he's the only guy who's got his own money like that, from the Republican side.
He's the only guy.
And in the Democrat side, Hillary's got a shitload of money, but she's kind of a part of the system.
And Bernie Sanders, you know, he's got some good ideas socially, wants to make marijuana legal.
He wants to help people.
He wants to unite us.
He wants to pay for student education, which I think is a great idea.
He wants to raise up the minimum wage.
I think that's a great idea, too, even though I don't know shit about economics.
So it's like there's not a lot of great choices.
I guess Hillary would be the best choice on paper because she's been there.
Right, on paper.
Or Trump.
eddie bravo
No, not even on paper.
She's a crook.
joe rogan
You think she's a crook?
Do you know we're on the air?
eddie bravo
I'm like, we're live.
Oh, is that bad?
joe rogan
This is live.
eddie bravo
This is debate talking, right?
joe rogan
Oh, yeah, yeah.
But you can't say she's a crook.
You've got to say allegedly.
eddie bravo
Allegedly.
Allegedly.
joe rogan
What makes you say allegedly she's a crook?
eddie bravo
Oh, man.
Watch that documentary, the Clinton Chronicles, and all the stuff that, you know, the Whitewater scandal and all that stuff.
I mean, dude, she's in the Bilderberg group.
Come on.
joe rogan
Is she?
brendan schaub
She's deep.
eddie bravo
Her and Bill are deep, deep, deep.
That's not a conspiracy theory.
That's real.
joe rogan
She's in the Bilderberg Group?
eddie bravo
The Bilderberg Group is not a conspiracy theory anymore.
The Rothschilds or the Rockefellers refer to it as the Bilderberg Group.
They started it.
brendan schaub
They flaunt it now.
And she's in it, her and Bill.
eddie bravo
They're very powerful and they're deep, deep, deep in the top.
They're way up there.
brendan schaub
They needed Bill to run everything through Arkansas.
unidentified
They had to bring him in.
brendan schaub
They ran everything through Arkansas.
That's not a conspiracy theory.
eddie bravo
They ran all their stuff through Arkansas.
brendan schaub
They needed the governor to cooperate, and that was Bill Clinton.
eddie bravo
And to show their appreciation, he became the next president.
He went from Arkansas, obscure.
Now he's part of the Bilderberg Group.
Just like that, some Arkansas governor, just like that, boom.
joe rogan
Dude, that Narcos on Netflix?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
I finally finished it.
brendan schaub
Dude, come on.
joe rogan
Oh my god.
eddie bravo
Dude!
joe rogan
I wouldn't have gotten into it if it wasn't for you.
I really wasn't interested in it.
brendan schaub
Oh.
joe rogan
I just was like, oh yeah, more drug stuff.
eddie bravo
You gotta trust me more, man.
unidentified
Oh my god.
joe rogan
I do trust you.
brendan schaub
Not more.
joe rogan
That's why I did it.
brendan schaub
And then Cartel Land is next.
joe rogan
How dare you?
eddie bravo
Cartel Land is next.
joe rogan
I hear.
You're not the only one.
eddie bravo
Sounds like a generic, dumb, run-of-the-mill documentary.
It's not.
It's special.
unidentified
Damn.
eddie bravo
It's a special documentary that's going to blow your mind.
And again, how big oil conquered the world, like the history of the Rockefellers.
unidentified
Fuck.
eddie bravo
That's the craziest show.
That's where it all came from.
The conspiracy theorists, whatever you want to call them, they claim that it's all connected.
9-11, JFK, it's the same people and they're all connected.
It's the same family, it's the same secret society and it goes back.
Well, most of it started with John D. Rockefeller and Standard oil.
brendan schaub
And when you learn that shit, holy fuck.
The history.
And you know the craziest thing about the whole thing is he was so into monopolizing oil and everything.
It wasn't just oil.
Banking.
eddie bravo
He got into everything.
brendan schaub
Big Pharma.
eddie bravo
He had control of everything.
brendan schaub
He was so...
eddie bravo
John Rockefeller was so dominant.
He was the first billionaire.
He was ruling the world, man.
And the one thing is that all...
Hemp or marijuana conspiracy theorists, they all are aware of the reefer madness propaganda.
brendan schaub
We all know that as weed enthusiasts.
eddie bravo
We know about the propaganda that the government, you know, and then finally it worked after 10 years of all this propaganda that made weed look like it killed you and stuff and made you do crazy shit.
brendan schaub
They made it illegal.
eddie bravo
And we all know that that's from big industry like DuPont and the Rockefellers and all that.
We all know that, that they were trying to shut down the industry.
They were blaming it on the Mexican smoking weed.
But we all know that as weed enthusiasts.
brendan schaub
But you know what you don't know is, you know, alcohol prohibition was also because of John Rockefeller.
eddie bravo
He supported anti-alcohol groups and blew them up and donated millions to blow them up to get to outlaw alcohol because he saw it as a threat to gasoline.
joe rogan
Whoa.
eddie bravo
Yes, and this is not a conspiracy theory.
Alcohol prohibition was all backed by John D. Rockefeller.
unidentified
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
joe rogan
It was a threat to gasoline?
eddie bravo
Yes, alcohol.
joe rogan
Because they thought people were going to make like ethanol?
eddie bravo
No, no, no.
He just wanted to ban, he wanted to crush the ethanol business, right?
joe rogan
Right, that's what I'm saying.
eddie bravo
But the way he did it is to create this hysteria with drink, everyone has a drinking problem, everyone's killing each other.
So he did the same thing.
He did both of them.
unidentified
Wow.
brendan schaub
He did the same.
You're going to find out about this.
This is not a conspiracy theory.
eddie bravo
Google this, Jamie.
brendan schaub
Yes.
joe rogan
Quickly.
brendan schaub
How big oil conquered the world.
But he funded the Anti-Saloon League.
eddie bravo
It was run by one of his good friends.
And you know what ended up happening?
Same thing.
They outlawed alcohol.
You couldn't drink alcohol.
But they said, what about the alcohol for cars?
And they wrote in the law that you could still make alcohol for cars, but you got to put petroleum in it so that people don't drink it.
So it killed the business.
So now they got to put oil in it if you want to sell it.
And then it killed everything.
And he got busted for everything.
brendan schaub
John D. Rockefeller's dad was named, they called him Devil Bill.
eddie bravo
His dad, they know all about his dad.
This is not a conspiracy theory.
The historians will tell you about his father.
He created him.
He was a rapist, snake oil salesman, running from the law, changed his name.
joe rogan
Devil Bill?
eddie bravo
Devil Bill.
That was his name.
So he had a bunch of sons and John D. Rockefeller was one.
And he was known, he wanted to, he was quoted as saying, I cheat my sons every day.
I want them as sharp as can be.
He just beat the living fucking trust out of them and just drowned all their trust.
John D. Rockefeller grew up not trusting anybody.
joe rogan
Look at this.
Rockefeller, Ford, and the secret history of alcohol.
Wow.
There's a secret history regarding alcohol that you won't hear in the 6 o'clock news.
Cars and everything else running on internal combustion engines can run on alcohol at least as well.
As they can run on gasoline.
Indeed, engines were built back in 1870 that could run using alcohol or gasoline.
A New York Times article from 1908 enthusiastically states, Autoists discuss alcohol as fuel.
Great future ahead for use in commercial wagons, says Professor Locke.
Locke?
Locke?
What is it?
How do you say that?
Locke.
Tests with motor truck E.R. Hewitt.
Tells engineers of his results with gasoline and alcohol in the same engine.
Henry Ford said that alcohol was a cleaner, nicer, better fuel for automobiles than gasoline.
Wow.
Holy shit.
Wow, this is nuts, man.
brendan schaub
Yeah, it's the same thing.
joe rogan
This is fucking bananas.
eddie bravo
It's gas propaganda.
unidentified
Oh my god.
brendan schaub
Or alcohol propaganda.
joe rogan
That is so crazy because you can make alcohol without fossil fuels.
So if you made alcohol today, you could fuel...
I mean, people can make alcohol, right?
People make alcohol, they moonshine.
eddie bravo
Apparently, anything, any vegetable that ferments, you can use as fuel.
brendan schaub
It's really simple.
eddie bravo
Anything.
joe rogan
Do you know Neil Young has that?
Well, he has diesel, though.
He doesn't make alcohol fuel, but he makes diesel.
He makes biodiesel.
He has a giant ranch.
brendan schaub
I think it's...
joe rogan
Northern California.
brendan schaub
Isn't it the same thing?
eddie bravo
If it ferments, it's...
Maybe you call it diesel, but it's fermented vegetable matter.
I don't know.
I'm just guessing.
I don't know.
But that's what Henry Ford said.
Henry Ford said anything that you could ferment, apples, anything, you could turn into biofuel.
brendan schaub
That's crazy.
eddie bravo
And John D. Rockefeller, that's what he was all about.
He's the richest man in the world, was raised by a psychopath.
brendan schaub
Dude, he got busted for monopolizing oil.
eddie bravo
They finally indicted him.
He had to break apart Standard Oil and it made him a billionaire.
That's what made him rich is when he got busted.
When he had to sell everything off, he took over education.
joe rogan
Is this in a documentary?
brendan schaub
Yeah.
joe rogan
What is it?
brendan schaub
How Big Oil Conquered the World on YouTube.
joe rogan
Oh my god, I'm scared.
eddie bravo
You actually learn where it all comes from.
100%?
100%.
joe rogan
What a psycho.
brendan schaub
Yeah, one dude.
eddie bravo
One dude.
brendan schaub
And all his sons.
eddie bravo
Now his sons and his grandsons.
joe rogan
It kind of makes sense, right?
I mean, if you think about it, the really super ambitious people in business are a lot of times the most cutthroat.
How competitive do you got to be to be like a William Randolph Hearst?
eddie bravo
One of these motherfuckers.
You know how he took over universities?
brendan schaub
Dude, he wanted to take over the world.
eddie bravo
He wasn't just trying to sell gas.
He was trying to take over the world.
Our education system is all based on Rockefeller Foundation shit.
He strategically wanted to make school so that we got people just smart enough.
This isn't conspiracy theory.
Just smart enough to work.
They didn't want anybody too smart.
That's how the school systems were designed.
joe rogan
Did he say this somewhere?
eddie bravo
Dude, watch the documentary and then you come back and tell me.
joe rogan
Have you seen it, Jamie?
No, you just opened up a new rabbit hole motherfucker.
brendan schaub
This is how he did it.
This is how he did it.
He would just donate.
eddie bravo
He'd go to a university, like the University of Chicago, and just say, I'm going to give you millions of dollars.
And they said, oh shit.
He goes, but I got to have a couple of my people on your board to make sure it's spent right.
And they're like, okay.
So he gets his people in and then they just take over.
And they designed history.
brendan schaub
John, do you recon...
eddie bravo
Rockefeller got 20 historians and designed the history.
They designed it.
That's why when people, you know, you make fun of history in ninth grade books, you make fun of that history.
It's a joke, right?
It was put together by Rockefeller.
joe rogan
Dude, look at that number.
His peak wealth was $318.3 billion based on the 2007 U.S. dollar.
Oh my God.
unidentified
He lived in 98. He was a motherfucker, bro.
eddie bravo
Look at his dad.
joe rogan
He lived to be 98 years old.
Oh my God.
His dad, Big Bill Rockefeller.
brendan schaub
They called him Devil Bill.
joe rogan
Yeah.
eddie bravo
They called him a lot of things, but Devil Bill.
joe rogan
Shiftless man who spent most of his time thinking up schemes to avoid actual work.
Nevertheless, thanks to the guidelines of his mom, Eliza, a homemaker and devout Baptist, John D. grew up to be quite a hardworking man.
Okay.
Interesting.
Man.
Interesting shit.
I'll have to check that out.
What's it called?
Big Oil What?
What is it?
eddie bravo
How Big Oil Conquered the World.
If you're a conspiracy theorist, most people don't go beyond JFK. There's so much in just JFK and then all this...
If you want to get into Watergate and the Iran-Contra and all of the 9-11, there's so much information.
It's so hard to get into multiple things.
But once you got that covered, go back and find out how it all started.
And you learn when you find out that George Sr.'s dad, Prescott Bush, started the CIA. And then you go back and his dad, Samuel Bush, was a Frank Rockefeller's right-hand man and how the Bushes and the Rockefellers have always ran shit.
When you go back, Samuel Bush, George Sr., think about how old he is, his grandfather ran with Rockefeller.
joe rogan
You have to do a podcast, you and Michael Shermer.
eddie bravo
Who's that?
joe rogan
The guy who just left.
eddie bravo
Oh, man.
He didn't want to talk.
joe rogan
Eddie grabbed him from the moment he walked in.
You think Tower 7 went down on its own the moment you walked in the door?
eddie bravo
Don't ignore Tower 7. I don't want to ignore Tower 7, but I do have to wrap up this podcast.
joe rogan
I do have to end.
I've got to get the fuck out of here.
I'm so sorry.
I would love to talk about Tower 7. It's way late.
I've got to get out of here.
But we sort of broke down the UFC. We did for a while, right?
brendan schaub
We totally did.
eddie bravo
Conor and Nate are both fucking legends right now, both of them.
Holly Holm, Misha Tate, both legends right now.
We're going to look back at this 20 years from now and have an old man narrate the highlights and it's going to be fucking insane sitting in your wheelchair thinking about this shit.
joe rogan
Yeah, it was classic.
Classic shit.
I think it was the greatest two fights ever in UFC history.
eddie bravo
That was the greatest UFC ever.
That was the greatest UFC ever.
joe rogan
No No doubt.
People keep saying it's the greatest ever because they keep getting better.
Those were the two highlights to me that made me bananas.
eddie bravo
Even in Connor's defeat, he looked like a fucking global barbarian.
joe rogan
And he handled the loss like a champ right after the loss.
Right after the loss, he handled it like a champ.
All right, you fucks.
We'll be back tomorrow.
Tomorrow's Chris Bell, right?
From Prescription Thugs.
You ever seen that?
brendan schaub
I want to see that.
I heard about that.
eddie bravo
I want to see that.
joe rogan
I'm watching it tonight.
brendan schaub
That's all Rockefeller too.
eddie bravo
That's all.
joe rogan
Thank you.
unidentified
Bye bye.
