Cheers!

Come to an end!
unidentified
Cheers!
joe rogan
It's now No Remember November.
tom segura
Here we go.
unidentified
Better November.
ari shaffir
No Remember November, I like that.
joe rogan
First of all, whose fucking stupid idea was it to do this goddamn fitness challenge, Tommy Bunz?
unidentified
That was awful.
joe rogan
Last year we did a nice, calm 15 hot yogas.
tom segura
Yeah.
joe rogan
That was also awful.
Not even close.
ari shaffir
Not even close to this.
tom segura
Not even close.
joe rogan
No, this was so much more difficult.
tom segura
And I didn't expect this, but I like it.
I think it's fun to be competitive with your friends.
joe rogan
Yes.
tom segura
It's a fun thing.
Not year-round, but like isolating something like this.
joe rogan
Once a year.
bert kreischer
You get to see different sides of people you didn't know existed.
ari shaffir
Oh, yeah.
bert kreischer
Jesus Christ, Joe.
ari shaffir
I wasn't happy for any of you.
And you worked out.
bert kreischer
Dude, you have no idea.
I don't think anyone gets the real perspective.
When Joe is focused on something, I've never seen anything like that in my fucking life.
tom segura
Well, I know the funniest, because everybody's competitive, and this brings it out.
But the funny thing was Burt being like, whatever Joe does, I'll do double.
unidentified
Definitely.
tom segura
He was like, fuck that.
And the other thing I didn't expect ever.
I thought Ari would just be like, whatever.
I'm just gonna walk in the East Village.
joe rogan
I was worried about him the most.
tom segura
I didn't think you were gonna do shit.
joe rogan
I was worried about him the most from the beginning.
Because I know Ari's brain.
ari shaffir
Yeah.
I'd be like, nah, I'm out.
Fuck this.
tom segura
No way.
You were saying that, though.
Three days in, you were texting like, this is dumb.
joe rogan
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
He says that.
tom segura
Right.
joe rogan
This is what he's saying.
He's saying that, and he means it while he says it, but he's also like, I'm going to fucking kill these guys.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
And then he gets really serious about it.
tom segura
He gets serious.
ari shaffir
Yeah, but I was looking for loopholes in order to trick you guys to somehow not work out.
So I thought if I could get a bunch of points all to join in seven or eight days in...
tom segura
And then you could be done?
ari shaffir
No, then I'd be like, what the fuck?
Like, yeah, I've been secretly working out, but now I'm too far away, so don't try to catch up.
tom segura
Oh, right, right, right.
joe rogan
There was some psychological sneakery he was doing with me.
He was saying, you should just do your regular workout and see what your score's like.
ari shaffir
Oh, yeah, that was a big one to try to control Joe.
tom segura
I was a big fan of that one, too.
ari shaffir
Just do your regular fucking weights.
tom segura
Because you were entertaining that for a second.
joe rogan
I was in the beginning.
I was like, this is so stupid.
But then I was like, I can't lose.
And then I thought about it, and the other thing I was thinking This is what my plan was.
My plan was to keep up with you guys for two weeks.
And then after two weeks, to set aside a lot of time and about...
ari shaffir
And then lap us?
joe rogan
Yeah.
Well, no, just go psycho.
I was like, I'm just going to go psycho.
I'm going to put a pace that I don't think anybody else can keep up with for the last two weeks.
The last two weeks, I just said, I'm going to put in some 600-point days.
I put in 1,000-point day.
bert kreischer
Dude, that's when I stopped looking at you.
ari shaffir
For context...
bert kreischer
Like, I was looking at the...
When we started this month, and I put in my 700-point day, everyone was a little bit like, wow, Bert.
By the way, I ran almost a marathon that day.
Have no fucking clue.
I was just looking at my goddamn phone the whole time.
joe rogan
Just checking the points.
So people don't know what the points are.
We'll explain.
If you get 70% of your max heart rate, that's 3 points a minute.
If you get 80% of your max heart rate or above, that's 4 points a minute.
So we all try to stay in the 80 range because that's where you get your money.
ari shaffir
So a heavy workout for an hour in that range of 80 to 100, a heavy workout gives you 240 points.
unidentified
That's if you're maxed out for 60 minutes.
ari shaffir
That just gives you context.
joe rogan
One day I did a 935 point workout.
ari shaffir
It was over after that.
unidentified
Tom and I were talking.
ari shaffir
I was in New York and he called me and was like, dude, he's just fucking going, dragging elk around.
He has it on the whole time.
He's dragging elk around.
joe rogan
No, that wasn't even that one.
That was the elk hunting day.
It was mostly a hiking mountains day.
That was like a 600 point day.
bert kreischer
Oh, no.
That's when you were there and you were actually working out in the mountains as well.
ari shaffir
Yeah, we thought we had you stopped.
bert kreischer
I was like, what the fuck?
I would have been like, guys, I'm elk hunting.
I made the mistake of jokingly saying, oh, I got him.
Joe's on an elk hunting vacation.
And the hunters were like, dude, it's not a fucking vacation.
It's work.
And I was like, easy, guys.
joe rogan
Well, you got a backpack on and you can walk as many as, the most I've ever walked is 12 miles in a day.
And you're walking up and down in elevation, you're going up and down.
Like, I saved it one day because it was so ridiculous because I'd gone up and down, I forget it, like 130 flights of stairs, something fucking crazy.
tom segura
But you ended up getting your, what did you shoot on this hunt?
bert kreischer
A thousand pound elk.
joe rogan
Yeah, it was a big elk.
tom segura
You got it like relatively quickly, right?
joe rogan
Yeah, on the first day.
bert kreischer
Thank God.
joe rogan
So then I came back.
ari shaffir
We just kept going more those days.
joe rogan
I came back, but the 935 point day, that was my big day.
Well, it was a thousand points.
Because I did 935 in the day, and then I did a podcast, and then I did 100 later on in the day.
tom segura
Okay.
ari shaffir
Does the family see you guys anymore?
unidentified
No.
bert kreischer
Yeah, that's what I was wondering.
There was, like, I didn't have...
Part of it was time management.
ari shaffir
I suffered socially from this.
bert kreischer
The huge part was, like, who had the most time to spend in the gym?
ari shaffir
Yeah.
I was here two Mondays ago, or last Monday, and it was popping night at the comedy store.
I was going to hang out with everybody, you know?
And then it was, like...
Nah, it's 10 o'clock.
I gotta get a couple hours in.
tom segura
Your workouts were so late.
bert kreischer
I gotta say this.
Fuck you with you posting your goddamn workouts in the middle of the night.
It was so deflating to go to sleep going, I've got a 200-point lead, and to wake up and go, how am I 600 points behind?
ari shaffir
I tried to break spirit.
bert kreischer
Because that's the other thing.
Ari went through when he got this tracker, and he found out all the workarounds.
So he would build up work points in his tracker, and then he'd Bluetooth it in the middle of the fucking night.
ari shaffir
No, I'd also do the workouts there.
tom segura
He'd work out.
joe rogan
He was doing workouts at like 10 p.m.
ari shaffir
I'd come home from the cellar at 1.30 a.m., and then I'd be like, let me change and go out there.
tom segura
He would go out to the gym at 2 in the morning.
bert kreischer
Oh, you were going at...
tom segura
Yeah.
ari shaffir
Yeah.
bert kreischer
I thought you were uploading in the middle of the night.
ari shaffir
No.
tom segura
You can see the time that he was actually doing it.
ari shaffir
Yeah, the freaks were out.
bert kreischer
For a second, Tom and I thought that because Ari was so out of shape, his heart rate was just skyrocketing like Ralphie walking up stairs.
And then Ari and I went on a walk, on a hike, And I was in the yellow the whole time, and Ari was barely in green.
And I was like, oh, he's in really good shape.
And then you did that day with Joe.
tom segura
The best is that he really bought that theory really hard.
ari shaffir
That it was just that me was out of shape.
tom segura
Yeah, yeah.
And he was saying it a lot.
bert kreischer
Dude, I texted Rogan and Tom about it.
ari shaffir
I was like, Ari's not doing anything.
He's barely walking, but because he's out of shape.
tom segura
Oh, he was selling it so hard.
And then I called him.
I go, how'd it go on the hike?
He's definitely better in shape than me.
unidentified
Immediately.
joe rogan
Well, it's a psychological thing.
You don't want to think that a guy who hasn't been working out at all is in good shape.
But I think you pushed yourself through the first week or two, and then you got in good shape.
ari shaffir
And then I kept going.
Okay, first of all, I had fallback plans.
joe rogan
Okay, what was the plans?
ari shaffir
Okay, Michelle Wolfe offered to give, let me just have her wear the thing.
joe rogan
Wow.
ari shaffir
From day one, that was definitely the fallback.
bert kreischer
Tommy, I knew that was going to happen regardless.
joe rogan
Is she a workout fiend?
ari shaffir
Oh yeah, she runs 10 miles a day, every day.
And when I asked her, I was like, hey, would you wear this thing for me if I needed you to?
She goes...
I know what you're talking about.
Absolutely, I'll wear it for you.
I will stay in the right zone.
I'll tell no one.
She feels left out.
She thinks she would laugh all of us.
bert kreischer
She's a beast.
unidentified
Yeah, she goes crazy.
tom segura
She probably would.
joe rogan
None of this is what we do.
I don't do long cardio sessions.
I did five and a half hours on an elliptical after running for an hour.
ari shaffir
What?!
joe rogan
Yeah.
tom segura
This is how you get one of those crazy days?
joe rogan
That's how I got 935 points.
I ran for an hour and then I stayed in the elliptical for five and a half hours.
ari shaffir
You would see it going.
You'd check in and be like, fucking Rogan got 300 points.
And then you'd talk and you'd check back in 30 minutes later and be like, oh no, it's still going.
It's still going.
joe rogan
What the fuck?
Well, I wanted to see how far I could go.
The thought was, when you're tired, how tired are you?
Can you take another step?
Okay.
Can you take two?
Okay.
Can you take three?
Can you just keep going?
I bet you can keep going.
Let's see how long you can keep going.
And then you get to this point where you just think about breathing.
Just think about breathing.
That's what I was thinking about.
I was just thinking about in and outs and just trying to stay, almost like a meditative state, trying to stay in the zone.
And I was pouring sweat.
I set off the fire alarm.
tom segura
That's right.
joe rogan
Because there was so much steam.
ari shaffir
I've never seen that before.
joe rogan
It set off the fire alarm.
ari shaffir
That's nuts.
joe rogan
That was like four hours in.
tom segura
I feel like that's a story most people don't get to tell about themselves, you know?
joe rogan
Dude, it was madness.
This is not how I work out.
I work out for maybe an hour at most.
I hit the bag.
I'll do some rounds.
I'll lift a little weights.
I'm not trying to kill myself.
This was very interesting because I didn't know how my body would respond to a month of psychotic exercise.
ari shaffir
Did you guys do the things where you'd be like, the voices say, you gotta quit.
Quit.
Take a walk for a little bit and then go back and do it.
And then if you just go like, oh, I'm at 4.8 miles, let me just go until 5. Or like, I'm almost at halfway through this hour, so let me just get to 30 minutes and it'll be downhill.
I can stop there.
bert kreischer
It fucked with my obsessive compulsiveness really bad.
ari shaffir
Yeah.
bert kreischer
Because I get to the place where I go, alright, I just want to get to 200 points.
And then I'd be like, oh shit, I'm only at 950 calories.
I want to get to 1,000 calories.
I'm like, oh, I'm right by 220. I want to get to 220. And then it gets to a point where I believe it's like you get in the zone where you go, I'm just going to keep going.
Everyone's asleep.
I'm going to keep walking.
And dude, it got bad with me.
To the point where, I mean, we should talk about physical breakdowns in a little bit, because I know all of us dealt with some sort of physical breakdown, but I was having nightmares that you guys had fucked with my tracker and put it in that I was younger and lighter, so I wasn't earning the...
I'm not even joking.
Oh, really?
tom segura
In a panic?
bert kreischer
In a panic and checked my fucking stats on my phone.
joe rogan
That's hilarious.
Somebody got into your shit and hacked it.
bert kreischer
And I was like, these my goats, I wouldn't put it past them.
ari shaffir
Yeah, you get that point.
Can I tell you my other cheat?
Yeah.
Okay, I figured out pretty quickly that the way they do your max heart rate is your age minus...
No, a certain number minus your age.
And then you get it from there.
Then when you actually run, it'll move up or down from there.
But right away, I was like, oh, okay.
So I entered my age, and before I started, I wrote to the MyZone people and said, my idiot wife...
Wrote my age in wrong.
I'm actually 74. I was born in 44, not 74 and 44 the other way.
I'm like, alright, we'll change it for you, sir.
tom segura
What?
ari shaffir
Yeah.
joe rogan
So you put the 70-year-old man profile?
ari shaffir
Yeah, yeah.
bert kreischer
Hold on.
Wait, hold on.
Hold on.
The whole month you worked out as a 74-year-old man?
ari shaffir
No, I could have done that.
The problem is I already set it as the other thing.
And so it'll say you have to then...
You have to have a brand new thing.
It didn't work.
So you stuck as a 44. It would have been great for me to just walk around casually earning yellow the whole time.
Which I could have gotten.
joe rogan
That would have been insane.
ari shaffir
Yeah.
That was definitely a good cheat in my mind.
When that went wrong, I was like, fuck.
joe rogan
I feel like that one would have disqualified you.
ari shaffir
For sure.
I would never have told you that.
bert kreischer
I'm still on the fence with these fucking five hour hikes he was taking.
joe rogan
Well, listen, man.
Hiking is work.
It is work.
You're going uphill for a long distance.
ari shaffir
I don't give a fuck, you guys.
Or it's hard.
tom segura
No, of course you did.
bert kreischer
You did.
You did.
joe rogan
Here's the deal.
I saw him here on the rowing machine going hard for an hour.
ari shaffir
I watched it on my phone.
It's hard when you go uphill.
I don't give a fuck.
Dude, you earned it.
bert kreischer
You earned it.
I'm not gonna shit on that at all.
ari shaffir
I went on fucking hikes.
joe rogan
I think we should really, really keep ourselves from judging how hard other people work.
ari shaffir
Every time I did that!
joe rogan
Every time!
ari shaffir
Somebody got a big score.
I was like, what'd you do?
You cheated.
bert kreischer
How'd you cheat?
unidentified
What'd you do?
joe rogan
Dude, my hardest workout scored the shittiest.
My hardest workouts are running the hills and lifting weights.
If I run the hills, it gives me almost 40 points less than if I just rode a bike or rode an elliptical machine.
ari shaffir
Because you stayed in the zone.
And you go up and down.
You have to pause.
joe rogan
And the way I do it is I run hard and I take breaks.
I take a deep breath when I get to the top of one hill.
ari shaffir
He strokes his dick the whole time too, so that's difficult.
joe rogan
I rub my balls gently with my left hand, and I give myself another sprint until I can't.
I have these points where I know I can make it to if I go full clip, and then I try to extend it a little bit, and I keep trying to extend it.
But when I do that, I'm going in the red.
And on top of going in the red, it's like lifting weights.
You need recovery time.
And in recovery time, your heart rate crashes way low.
You could just do the elliptical machine and just put it at like 15 resistance so it's got some give to it.
You start sweating.
Then you get into a zone.
ari shaffir
It's way easier.
joe rogan
A machine makes it all easy.
Because you just get into a zone and you just got to be strong.
tom segura
I think the thing with those, I mean, even though, like, if you do an intense workout, recovery is going to be, you know, you're going to need it, you're going to feel it.
If you do those for, like, days in a row, there is still a fatigue, right?
joe rogan
There's fatigue, but there's not...
tom segura
I would weaken over the month.
joe rogan
What was getting me was the pounding, the running up the hills.
ari shaffir
Oh, yeah, yeah.
There's no pounding on the elliptical.
unidentified
Exactly.
ari shaffir
Your foot stays in it.
joe rogan
My feet were starting to hurt by the end because I was running miles in the hills every day with those minimalist shoes on.
tom segura
Yeah.
joe rogan
Which, man, those things, they really do work.
Like, they really do work.
But the way they work is they make your feet work harder.
So if your feet aren't conditioned for that shit, man, your feet are, like, one of the first things that wear out.
Like, a nice, spongy running shoe is just so much, like, smush, smush every time you step on things.
If you get that and it's gone, and you have this really thin layer of rubber with some tread, it's just your foot hitting the ground over and over and over again.
There's very little padding.
Almost none.
bert kreischer
Were you using the Ultras as well?
The running shoe, the Ultra?
joe rogan
I was using one called Zero, and I was using one called Vivo, Vivo Barefoot.
They're my favorite ones.
They're really good.
Because I was wearing the five-toe ones, but...
I keep jamming my toes into shit.
I'm running hard.
unidentified
I'm tired.
joe rogan
Because I'm fucking exhausted.
I need something that covers all the toes so I don't jam one into a rock because I'm just too exhausted.
bert kreischer
Can you walk me through what a regular workout was for you?
I'd be curious what everyone's regular workout was.
joe rogan
What I would do is if I would run, I would run for an hour.
Just an hour.
Just take my dog.
ari shaffir
Treadmill.
joe rogan
Run through the hills.
Oh yeah, run in the hills.
Because it's two things.
One, he needs exercise.
He's young.
He loves to run with me.
And two, it's a real good form of exercise.
I know it's more beneficial than the elliptical machine.
It's got to be.
It made my ass bigger.
It made my legs bigger.
They all got bigger.
Especially, I feel weight...
Pants fit different.
tom segura
Really?
joe rogan
Yeah.
ari shaffir
Really?
joe rogan
Yeah, because I've only been doing this for like two years.
ari shaffir
Pushing yourself up.
Plus, also, your own nature has got to be healthy for you, too.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
For sure.
bert kreischer
Oh, yeah.
joe rogan
But before that, I was doing just weightlifting stuff for my legs.
I would do like squats, or I would do cleans and presses and overheads, you know, do like presses with the kettlebells overhead and stuff like that, which is all great.
It's all really good stuff, but it's not sustained motion.
There's something about the sustained motion of running hills that I think boosts your vitality.
It gives you more energy.
bert kreischer
I agree.
joe rogan
Because you have to work so, to run a hill is one of the more difficult things to do in exercise.
It's just, you gotta fucking just get, you're basically doing like bodyweight squats with one leg over and over and over again.
ari shaffir
God, it sucks when you're going uphill, you got a 45 degree.
joe rogan
It's hard, man.
It's hard.
But it's so beneficial.
When I went to hitting the bags, what I would do is, on days I would do that, I would run and then I would get on the elliptical machine, or I'd run and I'd get on the bike, or the echo bike, which is like an airdyne, beefed up airdyne machine.
tom segura
Those things fuck you up.
joe rogan
Or that assault thing, the assault fitness treadmill.
bert kreischer
Do you like that?
joe rogan
I love it.
bert kreischer
Fucking hard.
It's really hard.
joe rogan
It's not a treadmill.
bert kreischer
It's not enjoyable.
joe rogan
It's an extra bump harder than running on the road.
ari shaffir
Harder than running on the road.
bert kreischer
Much harder than running on the road.
ari shaffir
Why would they make it harder than that?
joe rogan
It's for real athletes.
Because it's self-powered and it's really beneficial.
ari shaffir
You gave up your other treadmill for that one?
bert kreischer
It was a mistake.
ari shaffir
No!
joe rogan
No, it was not, Bert.
It was the right move.
ari shaffir
It's harder than running.
bert kreischer
I had that in my man cave.
That was my go-to at the end of the night, was get on that thing.
And, dude, that was not forgiving.
ari shaffir
I'm so glad I wore you out and you couldn't do it real.
bert kreischer
It's called an air assault fitness trainer.
joe rogan
That's the Air Runner.
tom segura
Yeah, that thing is supposed to be at least 30% harder.
joe rogan
It's the shit.
I love it.
I love it.
I get on that thing, it's like, whoa, we're going to work.
bert kreischer
I texted you when I saw you got it, and I was like, you like that?
And you're like, I love it.
And I was like, I'm out.
joe rogan
It doesn't hurt your knees.
It's not pounding.
It's got a good amount of give to it because it's got this tread to it, and it's just got enough shock so that as you're running, you don't feel like it's a big pounding on your joints, but it's all self-propelled.
So you really get a good rhythm going, and your fucking legs get tired.
bert kreischer
What's great for it is sprinting on it.
You can get up and sprint, and your sprints, that really raised your heart rate.
joe rogan
I think the key also, here's a big key, you've got to be distracted.
You've got to be able to either be distracted by meditating and getting into some sort of a weird breathing zone, or you've got to listen to podcasts, or you've got to listen to music.
For me, books on tape did the best for when I was out in the wild.
If I was out in the wild, I was listening to books on tape.
Thinking about something distracted me from the physical exertion of exercise.
But indoors, two things helped.
Violent movies.
In fights.
Watching fights.
I like watching games.
Because they get your heart rate jacked up.
When you're watching a fight, you get your heart rate jacked up.
And you're watching guys get hit, and you're fucking on this thing.
Before you know it, you sweat as puddles.
tom segura
I watch a bunch of football.
ari shaffir
And then during timeouts, you can do whatever.
tom segura
Well, I would do the thing where you're just kind of going, going, but I noticed there was like a punt return or a kickoff return.
joe rogan
When I watched Gladiator, there was a giant spike whenever there was sword fights.
And I was like, oh my God, that's what I'm doing.
I'm allowing myself to get so caught up in this movie that I'm like fighting.
tom segura
I'm going to break this one.
I'm going to break it right now.
Yeah, I got excited.
joe rogan
Is it in the red?
bert kreischer
Dude, I gotta give a shout-out to Run the Jewels.
Run the Jewels is perfect fucking canyon running.
Dude, Run the Jewels, Killer Mike.
Dude, run them jewels fast.
Run them, run them jewels.
That's perfect momentum, dude.
I listen to nothing.
When I think...
When I think about this month, I'll think of two things.
I'll thank God it's over, and I'll think of Run the Goddamn Jewels, because that's all I listen to running.
joe rogan
Dude, that's a great running song, and a great running song will give you like 10% more energy.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
ari shaffir
When it kicks in to overdrive on some song, you're like, oh wait, it's this one?
And then you're waiting for the beat to drop, and you just start going and going.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
tom segura
I get real excited.
ari shaffir
I'll sprint for it.
tom segura
I feel like I'm going to fight somebody.
If I put on a lot of Public Enemy, and just put it on a mix of Public Enemy, I'll feel like I'm going...
joe rogan
Well, that's good, too.
That's good, too.
ari shaffir
You know what got me through the first week?
And then I realized I could run with you guys.
I was like, oh, I think I'm okay.
Watching all your specials.
I brought the fucking Netflix thing out there.
I watch each of your Netflix specials.
For real?
Yeah, got me through the first whole week.
joe rogan
The whole time you're running, you're going, ha!
unidentified
You should have worked harder on that pun.
I'm getting back.
bert kreischer
Did you write any jokes?
unidentified
Cheap way out.
bert kreischer
Did you write any jokes while you were running? - Good morning.
joe rogan
I don't think I did.
ari shaffir
I didn't write any jokes about the gym.
bert kreischer
I wrote so many goddamn jokes.
ari shaffir
Really?
bert kreischer
Yeah.
tom segura
Did you really?
bert kreischer
Oh, fuck, yeah.
I smiled at a woman when I was jogging, and I said, the joke was, I only smiled and know I'm not having a stroke.
I'm not flirting with you, honey.
I'm just trying to not have a stroke.
joe rogan
Dude, I went to a dark place.
bert kreischer
Yeah.
joe rogan
Went to a dark place.
bert kreischer
And you took us with you, okay?
joe rogan
Well, I was like, I'm going to win.
That was my thought.
I was like, whatever you think you can do, let's keep going.
Let's see what happens.
That's a weird switch that goes off.
It's like, let's see who's willing to die.
tom segura
It became the contest.
ari shaffir
The last week or so was dangerous.
joe rogan
Dude, it got tricky when I started pissing iced tea.
A lot of people were asking me about it.
It's just dehydration.
That's all it is.
ari shaffir
That's not just.
tom segura
Dude, people would message us, by the way.
Joe's gonna die.
joe rogan
I'm okay, I didn't get rhabdo, but some people were upset.
They wanted me almost to get it because I've always ragged on these CrossFit guys to get it.
I have not ragged on them.
What I've said is that I have heard some negative opinions about CrossFits from experts that I trust, like Steve Maxwell.
I'm not a fitness expert by any stretch of the imagination.
I don't know whether CrossFit's bad or good, and I bet it's probably based on your application.
The way you do it, because if somebody asked me, is jujitsu good for your body?
I'd be like, well, I've had a bunch of surgeries.
Everybody I know has had surgeries.
Everybody I know that does jujitsu, Ari gets, he didn't even get his blue belt and he got surgery.
ari shaffir
Yeah, but I will say before we started this podcast, Joe did say those CrossFit people are tree-hugging hippies who want to get their yoga black belt.
joe rogan
I want a yoga black belt.
I'd love a yoga black belt.
I'm like a blue belt in yoga.
bert kreischer
Dude, halfway through the month, I told Tom this the other day, and he laughed, so I tried it on stage and it worked, but I stopped producing semen.
joe rogan
Just coughing dust?
bert kreischer
Dude, my dick had the dry heaves, just...
ari shaffir
People ask me, it's like, did your sex drive go up?
And I wanted to be like, yeah, but then I was like, no.
I had no energy for that.
joe rogan
Probably so tired.
ari shaffir
So tired.
bert kreischer
Dude, how about those sleeps, though?
I was sleeping like a fucking perfect person, like a baby.
tom segura
Most of the time.
joe rogan
You know what I noticed?
It's a big one for me.
It really might make me change the way I live.
Zero anxiety.
Zero negative chatter.
tom segura
Zero chatter.
joe rogan
There's a realistic view of the world that you get from rigorous exercise.
And this is my theory.
I'm not a biologist.
We have too much of a history as a species of constantly avoiding danger.
And I think we live in a place that's far too safe for our natural instincts.
And so we're constantly looking for things to be bad, or looking for things to be dangerous, or confronting our own mortality and putting it on the back burner and letting all that weirdness manifest itself in all sorts of other fears.
Fears about the government, fears about economics, and fears about this.
And I think we're dealing with this as human beings all the time.
And I think there's only a certain amount you can do.
And I think when you have rigorous exercise, it puts in perspective what that certain amount actually is and what you can control as a person.
That you can just chill your body out and look at this whole thing for what it is.
It is what it is.
You know, we're going to be fine or we're not.
And then it won't matter.
But this whole thing that we do when we do this, we do this because our body has a need for exercise.
It has a built-in need.
It's got an engine that needs to be pushed, and if you don't push it, it starts fucking with you.
It starts fucking with you and asking you weird questions like, who the fuck's that guy think he is?
Like, it wants to start problems.
It wants to get upset at things that don't make any sense to be upset at.
It wants conflict.
There's a part of you that wants conflict because it thinks that conflict's a part of the programming.
It's because it's been our way for millions of years.
So whatever the fuck we were then to whatever the fuck we are now, there's been conflict along the way.
People have been trying to eat us.
Things have been trying to kill us.
And this is the only time ever that there's none of that.
And I think the only time you could see things with perspective is when you blow out all the biological shit.
Whether it's jerk off.
Like, how many times have you jerked off and then had a totally different opinion of a person about...
Like, you've jerked off and not called people.
Like, why would I call this person after I just jerked off?
Like, no.
Now I see what this hole is.
This is some weird biological trick.
I'm playing some stupid game.
tom segura
I'm so high.
joe rogan
High as fuck.
bert kreischer
Dude, I love...
I'll tell you what this one month did for me.
unidentified
What?
bert kreischer
It got me back in spin class.
I love spin class, man.
joe rogan
Powerful gay bird.
bert kreischer
I fucking love it, dude.
I love it.
joe rogan
Good for you, man.
Do you like the music?
bert kreischer
No, I like the station.
ari shaffir
What does it just make you spin as fast as slow as it speeds?
bert kreischer
SoulCycle.
It just...
You close your eyes.
And you remember when we talked and I said...
I had Bob Harper as my spin teacher one time.
And the thing he said about wanting me to go back and fuck people I grew up with or whatever.
joe rogan
Is Bob Parker the Kobe Bryant of spin classes?
unidentified
Yeah.
bert kreischer
Yeah, he's from Biggest Loser, Bob Harper.
joe rogan
Oh, okay.
bert kreischer
And so I got...
joe rogan
Did you guys know who he was?
tom segura
No, I have no idea who that was.
bert kreischer
I was a big Biggest Loser fan.
ari shaffir
I love that show.
bert kreischer
But I like the way they talk to you.
unidentified
It seems fun.
bert kreischer
I like closing my eyes.
I like the first break of sweat.
I love what I love.
And I have to say, I have to give props to people more than anything.
Ari doing that rower redefined the way I had to look at working out.
Because I went, he was an 80%.
Like, I know what 80% feels like.
He was there for an hour.
joe rogan
On a rower, it's fucking hard.
ari shaffir
That was a tough one.
Some of them were harder than others to keep at 80%.
Viking was way harder.
tom segura
Did you know you were capable of it?
Seriously, did you know?
ari shaffir
No.
joe rogan
I thought he was capable of it.
unidentified
I did not.
ari shaffir
Running and stuff, that's fine.
I could sort of do that, but I didn't know quite how much.
bert kreischer
80% on a rower.
joe rogan
Ari's angry.
ari shaffir
Yeah.
joe rogan
Ari's an angry person.
Really?
Yes.
Even when he's playful, angry.
ari shaffir
That's my zen spot.
joe rogan
But even when Ari's playful, angry, it's still energy.
tom segura
Right.
joe rogan
Like that anger, like the anger that he gave everybody on that fucking podcast.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
You know what he did?
tom segura
Yeah, you're a hate cast.
joe rogan
One of my favorite podcasts ever.
Ari's hiking around, doing a podcast, talking shit about us.
ari shaffir
Trying to stay at 70%.
joe rogan
It's brilliant.
It's brilliant.
But it's energy.
See, that kind of anger, that's either in you or it's not.
And I knew Ari had it.
It's a matter of getting the old engine fired up again.
He's not too old.
I knew you used to play basketball a lot.
ari shaffir
That was one of my resolutions this year, was to go to the gym like once a week.
Like something attainable.
And I still hadn't done it until then.
joe rogan
Jesus, man.
Well, I remember when you did jujitsu, you were very enthusiastic about it.
And I remember you were fucking trying hard.
And I remember one time you legitimately swept me.
Legitimately swept me.
Yes, you did.
And I was a brown belt.
I was a brown belt at the time.
ari shaffir
You can get over on people once in a while in jujitsu.
Just once in a while, you'll be like, oh, you forgot to lock up!
joe rogan
I slept on him.
I'll tell you 100% the truth.
This is what happened.
We were rolling together, and I was like, okay, dude, let's just do this.
I'm not going to hurt you.
We'll be cool.
And we got into a position.
I got on top of him, and I just got a little relaxed.
And all of a sudden, boom, Ari hip pops, takes my leg out from under me, and he swept me.
And I'm like, you motherfucker.
I got a little calm, and he exploded.
I'm like, oh, okay, I see what's up.
So I knew a part of Ari that you guys didn't know, because Ari and I have been engaged.
ari shaffir
By the way, then he swept me right back against somebody.
I was like, it's not your place.
bert kreischer
By the way, there's a part of me that really wants to experience trying to roll with Joe for a second.
After this contest, knowing what he's capable of, just to feel true helplessness.
joe rogan
It's a good feeling.
bert kreischer
It is!
joe rogan
This is why it's a good feeling.
Because if you can handle it, then at least you know where you are on this little weird food chain of who can kill who with their bare hands.
And then you also know that whatever these people know, you can learn too.
It's not a physical thing.
I know guys that are much weaker than me that can fuck me up.
If we roll together, they're going to tap me 100% of the time.
My friend Denny weighs 160-something pounds.
I mean, I tapped him when he was young.
ari shaffir
But you couldn't now.
joe rogan
No, he kills me.
ari shaffir
Really?
joe rogan
He strangles me.
He strangles me.
tom segura
Just what, superior technique?
joe rogan
Just way better than me.
Way better, way more focused.
bert kreischer
Been doing it as a life.
joe rogan
But here's the thing.
I don't have the...
Listen, you have to have the time to get serious about something.
We had the time to get serious about this for a month.
ari shaffir
We did have the time to get serious about it.
Suddenly out of the blue.
By the way, Tom suggested it like four or five days before it started.
tom segura
That's true.
joe rogan
Yeah, this was not a planned out thing at all.
tom segura
I've been wearing that thing for perspective, though.
I started January with it.
And like an average month has been probably 2,300 points or something.
ari shaffir
How much did you get this one?
unidentified
90...
tom segura
95-something.
bert kreischer
Talk about the percentages of how we finished in the...
Because you hitting them up, that blew me away.
tom segura
Well, they said there's a million registered users, first of all.
joe rogan
And we're at 0.1%.
ari shaffir
Okay, but hold on.
Most of those didn't even have it on.
joe rogan
I don't know about that.
ari shaffir
We're going into what November is now, and we're not really...
tom segura
No, I'm not saying everybody was actively all using it.
joe rogan
You mean the people that are a million users?
Yeah.
Well, whoever is using it.
Well, I don't know what the database...
It's a good point, Ari.
That's a fair point.
Because we really don't know what percentage those people actually keep it, right?
ari shaffir
Yeah, other people trying.
joe rogan
Right.
bert kreischer
We know that Killer was a D1 athlete, though.
tom segura
Yeah, your fucking gym has a lot of people trying.
ari shaffir
That's the thing we can actually point against people who are trying.
joe rogan
If we had to guess, if we had to agree on a number, would you guys say that half the people would use it regularly, or no?
If there's a million people, would you really think it would be half?
ari shaffir
Even if it's a quarter, we're still talking about a.5.
We'd be.5 percentile, whatever, 99.5th percentile.
joe rogan
Yeah, it wouldn't go up much.
It wouldn't go up much, even under a smaller variable.
But I think that what those other people are, at the top, are probably fitness instructors.
Killer was.
That's what MySpace was.
MySpace.
tom segura
MyZone, yeah.
joe rogan
That's what MyZone's told me.
ari shaffir
Oh, that was my other cheap plan?
Go to the gym with $15 and say, please wear this, and I'll give you $15.
unidentified
I'm not joking.
ari shaffir
I was going to hang out there.
tom segura
Is 15 the sweet spot?
ari shaffir
I just figured it wasn't too much, but I would have to do it a lot.
bert kreischer
Fuck this.
I'll tell you, I'll walk you through my plan the whole month.
joe rogan
What was your plan?
bert kreischer
Do not get hurt.
That was number one.
joe rogan
That's a good plan.
bert kreischer
I was like, don't get hurt, because if I get hurt, get shin splints, or get heel spurs, I'm fucked.
ari shaffir
Five days in.
tom segura
I was so excited at the prospect of you being out.
ari shaffir
Anytime someone was like, I think I fucking had it.
tom segura
No, because you hurt your ankle or something.
bert kreischer
When I hurt my ankle, legit, swear to God.
unidentified
How excited were you?
ari shaffir
Excited but cautious, and I knew it was like, this is not real.
bert kreischer
And you saw me slip.
ari shaffir
And then I saw you walk fine normally.
bert kreischer
I was totally fine.
ari shaffir
What a fucking phony faker.
bert kreischer
I was totally fine.
ari shaffir
You were fine.
unidentified
I was fine.
ari shaffir
I knew it.
bert kreischer
But no, but I got it.
I swear to God, I'll call my fucking wife right now.
joe rogan
Oh, she'll lie for you.
bert kreischer
She better.
She better.
unidentified
Yeah.
ari shaffir
My friend Molly saw you in fucking spin that day.
tom segura
He texted me.
unidentified
He texted me.
bert kreischer
Oh, my phone was fucking falling.
ari shaffir
Oh, fuck that.
Spin, the one exercise you don't need your legs for.
tom segura
Were you worried about me when I was sick?
bert kreischer
Oh, I knew you were giving me the old doc holiday.
ari shaffir
That too.
Fuck off.
bert kreischer
Old doc holiday.
tom segura
I was sick.
bert kreischer
Hey, Wyatt, I can't make this.
ari shaffir
I'm dying, Wyatt.
joe rogan
Guys, he told me he was sick, and he took photos of his medication and sanity.
tom segura
You think I made that up?
ari shaffir
No, I think, but you took half a day off.
You went one half day, and then you were right back to full speed.
unidentified
No.
tom segura
No.
bert kreischer
Thank you, Ari.
Thank you, Ari.
tom segura
That's not true.
ari shaffir
One half day, one full day, one crazy day.
tom segura
I had a day where I was like, look, I gotta get something.
And by something, I was thinking 150 or something.
And that was the beginning or the second to worst day.
And I put it on.
I was like, I'll just get that.
And I walked down the street and I was like, I felt so sick.
I got 40. That's like a none.
ari shaffir
Okay, right.
Yeah, true.
tom segura
The next day...
I was able to get like, I think a hundred and something, and that was split up in two also.
And so then I was like, I'm pretty fucked right now.
ari shaffir
Yeah, and that, by the way, right at that point, I was like, okay, Bert, we're not coming last, so that's great.
So let's just be casual between the two of us.
Tom's done.
That's great.
That's awesome.
bert kreischer
Oh, I took a deep breath.
I was like...
ari shaffir
That felt nice.
joe rogan
You know, I gotta tell you something.
This is like something that we should all point out for health.
Like, I've been, over the last couple of years, I've been eating a lot of kimchi, a lot of fermented cabbage, and a lot of kombucha.
tom segura
Real farts.
joe rogan
Yeah.
tom segura
Real farts.
joe rogan
Brutal, brutal farts.
But, here's the thing.
All that healthy...
Like, probiotic stuff?
That has a big impact on your immune system.
I mean, really big.
I haven't gotten sick in a long time.
ari shaffir
The kombuchas used to always hike these, and I started drinking them too.
They're always good.
joe rogan
Dude, they're the shit.
ari shaffir
The GTs?
joe rogan
GTs are the shit.
They're so good.
They taste good.
They're healthy for you.
ari shaffir
I had a Whole Foods guy tell me, like, hey, just so you know, I saw you drink this in the thing.
It's fine.
It's got alcohol, so you can't drink that in the store.
And I was like, listen, I'm going to do it every single time, so you can just try to catch me if you want.
But thank you for the warning.
You did your job.
joe rogan
Well, it has less than half a percent of...
Right?
Isn't that what it is?
unidentified
Yes.
joe rogan
What is the number that they have to...
It's more than...
bert kreischer
Hold on, hold on.
My daughters drink kombucha in the morning.
ari shaffir
That's fine.
joe rogan
It's less than half a percent.
bert kreischer
So they're not getting buzzed.
joe rogan
No, it's some preposterous amount of alcohol.
ari shaffir
I would like to see how many of those you have to drink to get drunk.
joe rogan
This is the whole history of it.
They used to sell them in the store, and then apparently what was going on was they were, it's a strong brew, and they would sit there fermenting, and then when they would test them after they had fermented for a while, the alcohol content would get over one half of one percent, which is like somewhere around where they need to draw the line.
Like if you get a non-alcoholic beer, it's got a wee touch of the booze in it.
bert kreischer
Oh, really, Ari.
unidentified
Just a wee touch.
bert kreischer
Really, Ari.
joe rogan
Just a tiny, tiny touch of the booze.
ari shaffir
Fuck off, idiot.
Stupid fucking idiot.
joe rogan
No, it doesn't make you...
You're still super sober.
I mean, if you...
Look, you know...
When we're running, we're getting high as fuck.
Okay?
There's an endorphin aspect to this.
That's one of the things that I was saying to everybody is that when this was over, when the whole thing was over, if somebody made a pill that made me feel how I feel when I have those hard workout days, I'd take that pill every day.
tom segura
Oh, that's what I was going to tell you earlier.
joe rogan
I don't give a fuck pill.
tom segura
I felt so much relief, but I felt like it was totally tied to days where I really worked hard.
But if it was like a medium workout, I still felt good.
joe rogan
You and I went back and forth about that.
tom segura
Yeah, I still felt good.
But on the days where it was like three plus hours of working out, and I was totally spent, then I felt the most calm.
I mean, I know a part of that's physically just tired, but I had zero stress.
ari shaffir
Let me ask you a question.
Do you guys think any of that's tied to, like, while you're doing it, you've got to be off all your technology for a while?
tom segura
I know you're big on that.
ari shaffir
Do you think that's a possible?
tom segura
No, I thought about that, too.
joe rogan
No, it's a factor.
tom segura
It's definitely a factor, R. I also, when you start talking about it, I tried to start doing things, like, in the morning, waiting.
Waiting to look at it.
No, like, open the phone.
So, like, just do...
No, not even work out.
I mean, like, just do life things.
Wake up, have coffee, and just not look at it.
ari shaffir
And it's fucking...
tom segura
I had to think about it.
Yeah.
ari shaffir
It's hard, right?
tom segura
Yeah, it's hard.
unidentified
Oh.
joe rogan
Yeah, it's hard.
ari shaffir
Yeah, I wonder how much of that, too, because I felt sort of clear, too, but same way I do with skiing, where it's like you've got to take your mind off everything in a way.
joe rogan
Exactly.
Exactly, Ari.
Skiing is a perfect example.
When you're skiing, you can't look at your phone.
You're going down a fucking mountain, and you're just enjoying that, and that's part of what it is.
bert kreischer
They've got a great app that tells you how fast.
They have a great app.
unidentified
Don't.
bert kreischer
No, no, no.
I don't look at my phone while I'm skiing, but there is an app that tells you how fast you get going.
unidentified
Yeah.
bert kreischer
And dude, I got up to 40 miles per hour on a fucking snowboard.
And let me tell you, when I get down to the bottom, I'm like, real quick, what's my speed?
joe rogan
I'm always worried about people wiping out in front of me.
Wiping out onto me.
bert kreischer
But you film your kid skiing a little bit.
joe rogan
Yeah, but I got taken out by one dude on a mountain once.
He just cut in front of me like way too quick.
ari shaffir
Yeah, you're out of control.
You're skiing half the time.
unidentified
I'm like, I don't know.
ari shaffir
You should go away for your own good.
unidentified
Watch out!
joe rogan
Yeah, I know.
And you realize you're testing your health out with all these other people.
And most of the time, people are doing their best.
Most of the time.
ari shaffir
It comes flying out of the trees over you.
joe rogan
And there's no drug test when you get on that fucking ski lift.
They don't test you for shit.
bert kreischer
Do you smoke weed when you ski?
joe rogan
No.
What?
unidentified
What?
Shut up.
bert kreischer
You're crazy.
You're doing it wrong.
ari shaffir
You're out of your mind.
joe rogan
No.
ari shaffir
Stupid.
joe rogan
No, no, no.
ari shaffir
Of course you should.
unidentified
Every time I ski, I ski.
joe rogan
Joe!
No.
unidentified
Every time I ski.
bert kreischer
Head sets, weed.
Come on.
It's the best.
joe rogan
Are you crazy?
I would be with you guys, but I ski with my kids.
ari shaffir
Yeah!
It's time, Joe.
tom segura
It's time.
ari shaffir
It's time.
They're almost adults now.
joe rogan
I wish I could explain.
I have to keep an eye on those little fuckers.
ari shaffir
The weed will take care of it for you.
bert kreischer
I get what Joe's saying.
When you ski with your kid...
joe rogan
You do that?
bert kreischer
When I ski with my kids, I don't smoke weed.
But at the end of the day, when it's me and Leanne, we go to Park City every year.
joe rogan
Park City's awesome.
bert kreischer
It's the best.
And at the end of the day, me and Leanne, I'll take a rip, and then we'll go down one.
And that's when I fucking throw in headsets.
That's a little Jane's Addiction.
I'm coming!
I'm coming!
All my toes flying into a fucking corner at 40 miles an hour.
Just thinking in my head, this could all really go bad right now.
joe rogan
That feeling is fucking amazing!
This is what I do.
I go, don't fall down, don't fall down, don't get hurt, don't fall down, don't get hurt.
Ooh, we didn't get hurt.
bert kreischer
Joe, come ski with us!
ari shaffir
Come ski with us, Joe!
joe rogan
Let's barely have any control of our bodies as we storm down the mountain.
What a great idea!
Slide, barely in control.
Slide, barely in control.
Pizza, pizza, sideways.
unidentified
We gotta take it to the woods, bro.
joe rogan
No control.
Head over heels.
unidentified
Whoa!
joe rogan
Tuck and roll.
Shoulders first.
ari shaffir
You've always been fine.
bert kreischer
I'll tell you what I want us to do right now.
I'll tell you what I want us to do as a group right now, and Joe's the only one that can get this to happen.
unidentified
What?
bert kreischer
I want us to go to Kelly Slater's wave pool.
joe rogan
That looks dope.
bert kreischer
Dude, a foursome, it's the safest place to learn how to surf, and it's just like a two-hour drive.
joe rogan
Hey, does anybody here know how to surf?
No?
tom segura
No.
ari shaffir
I took two lessons in Indonesia and mastered and retired, but I can come out of retirement for this.
joe rogan
Okay, perfect.
So you've had slightly more experience, which is almost none.
That would be a good next year.
ari shaffir
What?
tom segura
Learn to surf?
joe rogan
Time on a board.
tom segura
Time on a board?
joe rogan
Time on a board over the whole month.
unidentified
Fuck.
bert kreischer
I'm in.
We'll get Kelly Slater to design some sort of board.
unidentified
We have to wear some sort of heart rate monitor.
joe rogan
How much time on a board you can stand up over the course of a month in one of those artificial wave machines.
bert kreischer
Shit.
I guarantee you give Kelly Slater time right now to develop the board that has feet pads that measures your feet on a fucking board.
ari shaffir
What do you mean measures your feet?
bert kreischer
So when you're standing up.
So it's time on a board standing up.
joe rogan
Since none of us know how to surf.
tom segura
Fuck.
joe rogan
Time on a board standing up one of those artificial wave machines next year.
tom segura
God, I hate this so much.
unidentified
I love this.
bert kreischer
I love this already.
ari shaffir
So you just have to enlist in a place.
You have to give up your life and enlist in a place.
bert kreischer
Move to fucking Hawaii with Shane Dorian and wear those fucking suits.
joe rogan
Shane was just here.
He was on the podcast right before you guys.
bert kreischer
Are you fucking kidding me?
Shane Dorian almost died at Mavericks.
He got held under for two waves and I guess under there he decided to create these suits where they have CO2 carcasses.
It literally changed big wave surfing.
It saved so many fucking lives.
He was just fucking here.
joe rogan
He asked about you.
bert kreischer
Shut up.
joe rogan
I met him.
tom segura
I swear I met him right before you.
joe rogan
He's my bow hunting buddy.
bert kreischer
Yeah, he lives at like...
joe rogan
He lives on a big island in Hawaii.
bert kreischer
Goddammit, James Wayne was just here.
Dude, Kelly Slater's like...
joe rogan
He and I go hunting every year.
We do the spring axis deer hunt on the island of Lanai.
ari shaffir
Really?
joe rogan
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
ari shaffir
That sounds so fucking cool.
joe rogan
Dude, it's the coolest shit ever.
bert kreischer
Wait, what got you into hanging out with...
The Kelly Slater podcast was fucking amazing.
Yeah, he's so interesting.
Dude, you and him are like brothers.
My favorite thing he said in that podcast was when he goes, you go, what do you do for fitness?
He goes, I don't push myself.
That's an Ari thing.
joe rogan
Well, here's the thing.
What we did was not healthy.
bert kreischer
No.
joe rogan
This is what I wanted to talk about.
tom segura
And not sustainable.
joe rogan
Yeah.
I'm going to keep it up.
ari shaffir
No, not sustainable.
It's crazy.
bert kreischer
I'm going to keep up spin class and try to do, on evenings, try to do a six-mile jog.
ari shaffir
That's a good thought.
tom segura
The 31st?
ari shaffir
Can we keep up?
tom segura
The 31st?
I talk to everybody.
But that last workout?
I couldn't have gone that much further.
joe rogan
In all honesty, after my piss came out of weird color, I really did have phantom pains in my kidneys.
Maybe that wasn't just dehydration.
Maybe there was something more.
Maybe there was something going on.
I really did have some weird phantom idea that there was a pain.
Physically, I felt pretty good, man.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Because the whole thing was, a lot of that rhabdo, and here's the thing about, it's called rhabdomyelosis, is that how you say it?
Did I say it right?
Rhabdo has actually been the source of death for a few fighters.
Where guys got really beat up in a crazy, really difficult fight, and the thing that did them in was they were probably over-trained, and they probably did too much in the gym, didn't give themselves enough time to recover, and then had a really brutal fight.
So when you're young in particular, you're a little too wild, and you don't recognize that there's like this point of diminishing returns when it comes to training.
ari shaffir
Oh, yeah.
joe rogan
Well, see, we pushed into some weird place, man.
ari shaffir
But we did get through that a few times, though.
joe rogan
But here's the thing.
ari shaffir
We should have like, oh, it was too much, we gotta give up.
And we kept going, and then it became okay again.
joe rogan
Right, but here's why I think it worked.
For us.
It wouldn't work for a fighter.
No one's kicking our ass.
So the thing about when you're a fighter, if someone's kicking your ass, you might push even past where we pushed in terms of output in any particular hour or any particular half hour, 40 minute session.
You might go too far.
Whereas we would just keep going at 80%.
Sometimes you get forced into 90% for long periods of time.
Especially if someone's better than you, or especially if you're tired from training.
So a lot of these guys are going into the fight, especially in younger guys who don't have maybe the most scientific coaches.
They're going into the fight severely taxed out.
ari shaffir
Like November 1st, they're going into it like that.
joe rogan
Oh yeah, they're going into it like that.
Not only are they going into a fight like that, but they're going through a whole, you know, six, eight week camp like that.
Like they might be broken down like real early on, just pushing themselves through the whole thing.
And then they have like, at the end of it, their body's failing.
They haven't given themselves enough time to recover.
And that's what this rhabdo shit is.
Your muscles, and it has something to do with proteins, that your muscles...
Pull up the actual, because I'm giving a really stupid definition of what rhabdomyelosis is.
Am I pretty close?
jamie vernon
Breakdown of muscle tissue, releasing a damaged protein into the blood.
joe rogan
That's it.
And it's very dangerous.
tom segura
It's very dangerous, yeah.
joe rogan
Apparently it causes kidney shutdown.
bert kreischer
That was crazy that, like, November 2nd, my muscles all felt sore for the first time all month.
ari shaffir
Mine felt sore right away, and then not again for a while.
bert kreischer
Not again.
I would just get back into them.
The thing in spin classes, like when you get out of the saddle and sprint, is I just got to a place where my legs were always fucking wasted.
And I was like, I want to try this again when my legs just aren't wasted.
They were always wasted.
ari shaffir
I could now, at the end of this, run to the gym and back.
I'd have to stop three times in the way.
Run for two minutes and not real running.
And then it was like, no, I can just do it.
tom segura
Dude, I felt such an improvement through the month.
Dude, I could run.
I ran 12 miles on the fifth to last day.
joe rogan
Dude, while you were on antibiotics.
That's what's crazy.
ari shaffir
And you were just...
We're going fine.
joe rogan
I gotta say, Ari, I always knew that you had a strong mind.
I always knew you had a strong mind.
You're an angry man with a strong mind.
But I didn't appreciate it as much as I appreciated this month.
For you to do it is the most impressive out of all of us.
Because you didn't do shit other than the occasional hike or fuck around and play basketball for like 10 years.
ari shaffir
Yeah, but also, I... Eat well.
You guys eat like garbage.
I'm far smarter than any of you.
tom segura
What do you weigh?
ari shaffir
A normal is like 75 to 80. I should be around 175. And I should weigh 75 to 80. And then I got up to like 83, 87 last year after the cruise.
tom segura
We weigh like significantly more.
ari shaffir
And it's like, I'm not doing...
You guys are actually working out.
You can eat fucking normal, idiots.
bert kreischer
Oh, yeah.
No, no.
I actually...
I don't eat that good!
Towards the end, I started...
I'd hear...
Maybe I'm the person who probably listens to this podcast the most, but you hear people talk about health and how they eat.
And in that challenge, the very last week, I started going, looking at food a tad bit differently, going like...
I don't want to feel like shit.
I don't want pizza.
I didn't want carbs.
I wanted protein because I get done a workout and I go, let's do four eggs and a steak.
I ordered a bunch of buffalo steaks.
It's so crazy.
I was like, water.
Yeah, I need water.
tom segura
How crazy did you get, like, with eating when it was, like, really?
bert kreischer
On the fucking plane.
You know when they walked by with that little basket?
I was like, oh, I'll take all this shit.
ari shaffir
Fucking popcorn.
tom segura
Because when you're doing the two workouts a day, the two-a-days, which I had a bunch of, you could net, yeah, you were hungry.
joe rogan
When I did that whole five and a half hours on the elliptical, I ate a box of animal crackers and I drank cream soda.
ari shaffir
While you were doing it?
joe rogan
While I was doing it.
It was crazy.
It was like I was possessed.
I was in the craziest state of mind.
I'm like, I am going to keep this going.
Now it's just numbers to me.
Now it's like, when do you get off?
Do you get off at 400?
No.
500?
tom segura
No.
joe rogan
600?
No.
unidentified
700?
ari shaffir
No.
joe rogan
800?
No.
And then shit started to feel like it was failing.
Your body?
Yeah, no, no, no.
Some misfires.
I had some misfires.
I had some, like, my body was like, like, settle down, bitch.
It's like, we better get off this thing soon.
I was like, okay, let's just keep going for a little bit.
So, like, things started to feel weaker.
Like, my ankles started feeling weaker.
bert kreischer
Just started yelling racial slurs in the middle of it.
joe rogan
My toes started feeling numb.
My toes went numb at one point.
Yeah.
bert kreischer
Did you nap?
joe rogan
No.
ari shaffir
I would nap.
bert kreischer
Napping was the best.
ari shaffir
Feet on the floor nap where you just sit on your bed for a second and all of a sudden you're like, what?
joe rogan
I just go out like a light at the end of the night.
bert kreischer
So how many hours were you sleeping a night?
joe rogan
Like a dead man.
Seven hours.
Dead man.
ari shaffir
Dead.
joe rogan
Yeah, dead.
ari shaffir
How long after we started did you start having the marijuana dreams?
Did you guys get them?
unidentified
No.
joe rogan
You know what, man?
I knew it was coming, so I tapered off.
ari shaffir
Oh.
joe rogan
So I tapered off all through September, and also I was on a lot of hunting trips.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
You know, the elk hunting trip in Utah was seven days.
I didn't...
ari shaffir
You don't smoke on those?
joe rogan
No.
ari shaffir
Do you get the dreams on those?
joe rogan
A little bit.
A little bit.
Did you?
I decided early on with all that stuff that I just wanted to experience it as a natural human.
I didn't want to ever be drunk.
I didn't really want to be high.
I don't want to take beta blockers so I don't get nervous.
I try to experience what it is.
bert kreischer
I saw Adam Greentree, like, kill some elk in wherever the fuck he is these days, and a bear claimed it.
Did you see that?
joe rogan
Yeah, he shot a moose.
Jesus Christ.
ari shaffir
A bear just went on, it's like, it's mine.
bert kreischer
It's mine, I pissed on it and I dug it out.
joe rogan
In the Yukon, and a grizzly bear claimed it and covered it with dirt.
tom segura
Right away?
joe rogan
The entire moose.
No, he shot it.
They took part of it.
See, a moose is probably like 1,800 pounds.
They're so big.
They're like a big elk.
Like a Rocky Mountain elk is like 800 pounds.
That's a big one.
A moose is 1,000 pounds bigger than that when it's fully mature.
That's what Adam shot.
He shot a gigantic moose.
So they could only carry so much of it out.
Like there's hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of pounds of meat.
1800 pounds moose might be seven, eight hundred pounds of it is meat.
tom segura
Fuck.
joe rogan
So you have to take it out in loads.
So if you have two guys, you're taking out several loads.
So they took out one pack out and then they came back.
And a giant grizzly bear had claimed it and covered it up.
bert kreischer
And the grizzly bear was still in the area?
joe rogan
Oh yeah, he covered up the moose.
bert kreischer
Adam Greentree is one of my favorite people to follow on Instagram.
But I know that no one likes when there's a lot of little bleeps in a story.
But when I go on Adam Greentree and he's got a hundred little dots, I go, oh, this is going to be a good one.
joe rogan
Yeah, it's adam.greentree on Instagram, and he's a bow hunter from Australia.
And Australia's an interesting place, because one of the reasons why, I mean, he's just a real smart guy.
He's the real deal.
bert kreischer
A real deal in every way, and I'll pimp him out.
joe rogan
He says a person.
bert kreischer
Dude, you should see the floor he has in his hunting cabin.
Dude, this guy is like, across the board, every part of a man you want to be.
His floor in his hunting cabin is fucking amazing, and he did it himself by hand.
joe rogan
Let's just establish, per capita, Australians are more manly.
bert kreischer
Oh, yeah.
joe rogan
They're crazy.
ari shaffir
For sure.
joe rogan
Australians are crazy.
ari shaffir
They drink so hard.
joe rogan
Like, if you had to, like, see what's the numbers, there's the moose.
bert kreischer
This is the moose.
joe rogan
They're just a manlier breed of people.
And also, you have to realize that Australia was a goddamn prison colony.
So these are the ancestors of scoundrels.
bert kreischer
They all got big thumbs.
joe rogan
Yeah, they're big humans.
And so this is a big ass moose that he shot in the Yukon and a grizzly bear claimed it.
And so they went back to it and the grizzly bear had run off because he saw them coming, I guess.
And so they just stole what they could and got the fuck out of there before they panicked.
ari shaffir
Before it came back and tried to defend it.
joe rogan
Yeah, so they unburied it.
They dug out.
tom segura
They did dig stuff out of there?
joe rogan
They dig stuff out, but they were scared while they were doing it and they got out of there.
This is the second of my friends.
This is the third of my friends that has had grizzly bear encounters over the last three or four years.
bert kreischer
Who was the one that it was on?
I saw it on Instagram.
It's one of your buddies.
Who got charged by the Grizzly Bear.
joe rogan
That was Adam.
That was Adam Greentree.
Was that Adam?
The same guy.
Yeah, absolutely.
tom segura
Was it that documentary, Grizzly Man?
joe rogan
Oh my god, that's the craziest documentary ever.
tom segura
That's so crazy.
joe rogan
You know what that documentary is?
That documentary is...
unidentified
How stupid that guy is.
joe rogan
It should be called A Gay Guy That Doesn't Have Really Good Friends Who Gets Eaten By Bears.
That poor guy wanted to give him a hug.
tom segura
That guy, Foxy the Fox.
ari shaffir
His girlfriend got eaten too?
joe rogan
Fuck yeah, she got eaten!
ari shaffir
Why did she leave?
tom segura
And there's audio and they didn't share the audio.
ari shaffir
Why would they share the audio?
joe rogan
This is my friend Adam with a pistol out while Grizzly Bear's charging him.
bert kreischer
Watch this.
unidentified
Turn it up.
bert kreischer
His voice makes it sound better.
tom segura
Whoa.
Yeah.
joe rogan
That's a grizzly bear, and he's got a gun pointed at her.
And she's got her cubs, and she might charge him.
The scariest ones are the females with cubs.
tom segura
Yeah.
joe rogan
That's in real life, too.
jamie vernon
And what about the pistol?
joe rogan
Yeah, he's got a pistol out, and here's the thing.
The pistol, it was the wrong size bullets, so it wouldn't have racked normally.
So see how it is right now?
It looks like he's discharged all his ammo, like his gun's out, because it's jammed.
So he doesn't even know it's jammed.
So he's standing out there pointing a gun that the only way he could get a bullet in it is if he opened up the barrel himself, stuck the bullet in, and then closed it so he'd have one shot, no matter what.
So the whole magazine wouldn't fit.
It was off...
The differences in the size of the ammunition was off.
ari shaffir
He didn't see it?
joe rogan
Nope, he didn't notice.
unidentified
Fuck.
joe rogan
Because he doesn't use guns.
He's a bow hunter.
He got a gun just to protect himself from that thing.
Those kind of things.
tom segura
I cannot believe how excited I just got right then.
unidentified
Wow.
joe rogan
Do you talk to him about it?
He goes, mate, he goes...
Monsters are real.
He goes, when that thing was charging me, I mean, I believe, did he talk about it on the podcast?
bert kreischer
He had to, that's where I had to have seen it.
joe rogan
But when he talked about the way it was charging him, where the hair was popping up on it, and you could see it, I mean, it stopped, it false charged him.
So I charged him and stopped within like, you know, five yards of him.
unidentified
Wow.
joe rogan
And it's a giant female grizzly bear that would just tear you apart.
ari shaffir
What are they trying to get you to do?
Leave?
joe rogan
Trying to get you to leave.
unidentified
They just leave.
bert kreischer
They want you to dance, Ari.
joe rogan
Well, because he's trying to leave, but it doesn't trust him.
It doesn't know him.
So it's closing in on him and looking at him and deciding maybe whether or not he's a threat and moving in on him.
So he can't get away from it.
So he was stuck in this position where he couldn't get away from it.
It had decided that he was a problem.
bert kreischer
Fuck it.
unidentified
That's fucked up.
joe rogan
So he was trying to get away and he was moving in a different direction.
It was cutting him off.
unidentified
Damn.
joe rogan
And he was like, oh shit.
And then he's got his pistol out.
It's like, get the fuck away!
tom segura
Terrifying.
That thing's terrifying.
bert kreischer
Dude, I hiked the Appalachian Trail when I was in college.
And not the whole thing, but just a portion.
And man, that fucking...
I had no idea about Grizzlies.
joe rogan
Good on you for not pissing in the room, Ari.
You're a good man.
bert kreischer
That grizzly thing is fucking scary, man.
tom segura
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
joe rogan
Dude, they're so scary.
I've never seen one in the wild except once in Alberta.
I've never seen like a big one.
The one I saw in Alberta was only like six feet.
It wasn't a big one.
But it was enough to look in its eyes and go, whoa, that is a different thing!
Because a black bear doesn't look at you like that, man.
Black bears, if you run into a black bear in the woods, they look at you like, what are you?
bert kreischer
So wait, are grizzlies not on the east coast?
So that's black bear, right?
joe rogan
Well, what it is is there's brown bears, and then those are the ones that live on the coast, and then everything that's interior is called a grizzly bear.
tom segura
That's how it gets the name?
joe rogan
Yes, it's the same animal.
bert kreischer
What do you mean that's how it gets the name?
joe rogan
Yeah.
They're all brown bears.
tom segura
But isn't like a straight-up brown bear usually bigger than a grizzly?
joe rogan
Because they have more access to protein.
That's the thought.
The thought is that the Kodiak brown bears, the enormous ones, which are the biggest ones on Earth.
tom segura
Nine feet tall?
joe rogan
No, way bigger.
Eleven.
Eleven feet.
Yeah.
My other friend who got attacked by a grizzly, Steve Ranella, he has a podcast about it on a podcast called Meteor.
That's his podcast.
And it's all about a Fognac Island.
It's a two-part podcast.
It's fucking amazing.
bert kreischer
I think I've listened to that.
joe rogan
They shot an elk, and then the same thing.
They hung some of it up, and they came back to get it after they packed some of it out.
And when they came back, a grizzly bear claimed it, and they didn't know it.
So they were trying to pack out that food, or the rest of the meat, and when they did, a bear charged them and ran through their camp.
And they said it was 11 feet tall.
bert kreischer
Who was he with?
joe rogan
He was with my friend Giannis Poutelis, my friend Remy Warren.
bert kreischer
Remy Warren.
I heard Remy Warren talk about it.
joe rogan
My other friend Dirt Myth and maybe one other guy.
bert kreischer
I know all these hunters and I've never hunted in my life.
joe rogan
I think there's like cameramen, there's a bunch of people and this enormous 11 foot bear ran through the camp.
And they said it was the biggest fucking thing.
It was so different than anything they could have expected.
They said it moved so fast.
His teeth were so close to them.
They said, like, Rinello, when he describes it, he describes it.
Rinello's a brilliant guy, but he's also a very well-read guy.
He's very eloquent.
He has a degree in journalism.
He's, like, he's super fucking smart.
So when he describes this interaction between them and an 11-foot coastal brown bear, which are, like, the biggest bears on Earth.
unidentified
Ugh.
joe rogan
Next to the grizzly, are the polar bears bigger?
Or the coastal brown bears of Kodiak, Alaska, that area?
They're as big as they get.
tom segura
They're so big.
Aren't those polar bears just the fucking most violent?
Those are the scariest.
Yeah.
unidentified
They're huge.
joe rogan
Everybody wants to save them because of Klondike bars and fucking Coca-Cola.
unidentified
So huge.
joe rogan
They're the most terrifying animals ever.
tom segura
Have you ever seen them when they can sniff out through ice?
unidentified
Yeah.
tom segura
That there's seals under the ice?
What?
You'll just see the wildlife footage and they're just...
Sniff ice and then they put their paws together and they start dropping all their body weight down to crack the ice and then they'll jump in and just pull out a seal.
It's fucking nuts.
bert kreischer
Do you think we could tap into that part of our brains?
Like there's a part of a human in it.
tom segura
Polar bear jeans?
joe rogan
You don't have any polar bear jeans.
unidentified
You don't have any polar bear jeans.
joe rogan
There's a reason why you have an iPhone, and you live in a fucking nice house, and you got a TV, and a nice car.
That's because you don't have no polar bear genes.
tom segura
There's somebody out there with polar bear genes, though, for sure.
joe rogan
Probably somebody who got fucked by a bear.
bert kreischer
I got fucked by a bear.
I did get fucked by a bear.
You know what's crazy about this month?
Now I'm fucking pretty fucked up.
What's crazy about this month is inspirational people on Instagram.
Like to listen to them and to really draw inspiration.
I got, dude, one more Hunter, last name I'll say.
Cam Haynes.
Fucking shit, man.
When you go and put in one of those days and realize he's running a marathon every day.
joe rogan
A marathon a day.
ari shaffir
A marathon a day.
joe rogan
Really?
tom segura
On his lunch break?
joe rogan
But let me just, in his defense, he would step in and probably say right now, that's not sustainable for the whole year, but what he does is when he's ramping up for a big 200-plus mile race, he does a marathon a day.
ari shaffir
Okay, can I say something on the opposite side then?
Do you know the story of Marathon?
joe rogan
Yes.
ari shaffir
Where the guy went to tell them of the victory in Marathon?
joe rogan
And he died.
ari shaffir
He died!
He did the marathon, then died.
That's who we do it after.
joe rogan
But that guy was a pussy.
Cam Haynes is not.
ari shaffir
I mean, that's a no-training marathon.
joe rogan
That's all.
That's the message.
unidentified
In sandals.
joe rogan
The message is not that you should do marathons.
The message is the best way to kill pussies is make them run marathons.
tom segura
I've read Cam's...
I read Cameron's comments before, and I like that he has, I mean, he's sincere and I get it, but he has to pretend to be impressed when, like, people tell him, like, I ran two miles today.
joe rogan
No, I believe it.
tom segura
I know he's sincere.
bert kreischer
He'll remind of mine and go, hey, brother, great job.
Keep hammering it.
And I'm like, you know he thinks six miles is Dude, I asked him.
ari shaffir
I asked him point blank.
I asked him point blank.
I'm like, hey, what do you think of Burt running the marathon?
He goes, dude, that's impressive.
joe rogan
That was impressive.
I'm telling you, man, you're being cynical.
You're being cynical about a dude who wears cowboy boots most of the days.
Don't be cynical.
Cam Haynes is straight up.
bert kreischer
I think he's being totally legit.
tom segura
I'm not calling him cynical.
I'm cynical.
And I'm saying that I read those comments and I laugh.
Because he's like, good job.
To the person that I ran 100 yards today.
joe rogan
Because he's a guy who runs 240 miles.
tom segura
I know.
bert kreischer
Do you think he really looks at me running a marathon and goes, that's impressive?
unidentified
Of course he does.
ari shaffir
He said it.
He said it.
It's real impressive.
joe rogan
I'm trying to tell you, he's one of my best friends.
The guy's the nicest guy in the world, and he started out not being able to run for shit.
He started out doing a mile and fucking dying and going, how the hell could anybody ever run a marathon?
ari shaffir
Really?
joe rogan
And then he just kept doing it.
tom segura
It's crazy.
joe rogan
And then he got to this point where he could run ultramarathons.
He runs a hundred miles.
tom segura
Do you know why he would definitely think it's impressive that you ran a marathon?
Because he knows running so well, and he's run so many, he knows what somebody who can run a marathon looks like.
And then when he saw you, he was like, that's fucking impossible.
ari shaffir
It's like if your daughter goes, I went on stage, and you go, how long did you do?
And she goes, an hour.
You'd be like, wait, what?
You did an hour on stage?
joe rogan
Right.
ari shaffir
That's impressive.
unidentified
Come on.
That's crazy.
That's really impressive.
joe rogan
Well, if you know someone, they've been doing comedy for a year, and then they tell you they just did an hour, you're like, wow, that's impressive.
But if you just got back from Memphis, I go, how much time do you do?
You go, I did an hour.
I go, wow, that's impressive.
tom segura
Yeah, I'd be like, fuck out of here.
joe rogan
Fuck you, man.
ari shaffir
What do you mean it's impressive?
unidentified
What?
joe rogan
But it is impressive if someone who's like maybe one of your opening acts does an hour 15 minutes in Cleveland somewhere.
You're like, whoa, how was it?
You're like, dude, I killed.
It was awesome.
I'm like, wow, that's impressive.
But if you tell me that you did that, I'd be like, yeah, that's what you do, bitch.
ari shaffir
Describe more of it.
joe rogan
That's what you do.
tom segura
By the way, you're such an asshole.
unidentified
If somebody said...
tom segura
I did an hour and you're like, wow, look at you.
unidentified
You're really a dick for saying that.
ari shaffir
But you act like you're positive about it.
joe rogan
What if someone's doing comedy for a year?
tom segura
Of course.
joe rogan
Say if you had a friend.
ari shaffir
If Big J was like, I did an hour in Madison, you're like, wait, hold on, stop right there, dude.
unidentified
That's so cool.
joe rogan
Are you saying an hour of human time?
ari shaffir
Do you stop and stop and watch?
joe rogan
Does any headliner not do an hour anymore?
ari shaffir
A lot too.
tom segura
A lot to less?
ari shaffir
A lot to 45. Really?
joe rogan
Dude, when I first started out, 45 was the number.
ari shaffir
It was 45. Those are filled with time comics.
joe rogan
Yeah.
unidentified
45, 30, and 15. 15, 30, 45, yeah.
joe rogan
Yeah, which is an hour and a half show, which is most people what they think their attention span is.
tom segura
Which is, like, honestly, it's kind of accurate.
I mean, I think 45, like, we're just, you know, it's too short.
joe rogan
Two hours is pushing it for people's attention span.
tom segura
So, like, I think a 90-minute show is great.
bert kreischer
I've done two hours on stage.
ari shaffir
I think an hour and 15 show is right.
tom segura
Well, I think a 90-minute show, I'm saying, like, with everything.
ari shaffir
Yeah.
bert kreischer
Two-person show.
unidentified
Two-person show.
joe rogan
I used to make the mistake of doing long...
Sets where I did a lot of stand-up and it was rockin' and rollin' for a while and then I'd do Q&As with people and it would go on too long.
Too long.
tom segura
I agree.
bert kreischer
I don't agree because I know for a fact that it's not right for me, but for you a Q&A would be interesting.
joe rogan
Yeah, it wouldn't be interesting.
It would be more interesting if people didn't see an hour and a half of comedy first.
See, that's the problem.
The problem is not whether or not it's good stuff.
The problem is, how much good stuff do you want all day long?
Nobody wants their dick sucked eight hours a day.
Like, stop.
I gotta do things.
ari shaffir
Yeah, but counterpoint, if you did an hour and twenty of really solid comedy, and then was like, alright, now we're gonna do Q&A for a while, it's gonna be different.
But meanwhile, you guys who bought your ticket for a show, it's like a whole festival now.
We did the stand-up, now let's have some fun times.
tom segura
I think, dude, I'll tell you, I think the closer that you are to 60, if it's polished and good, that's the best show you can play.
bert kreischer
But hang on, but where none of us are...
I'm not doing that right now.
I won't say I won't speak for everyone, but I'm not doing that right now in that I'm working on my 60. So in order to work on my 60, I have to do an hour of 50. Yeah, but that's different, because you're figuring it out.
Most of what we tour is not...
ari shaffir
Yeah, finish, finish.
bert kreischer
It's not finished.
It's the working progress.
joe rogan
The idea is not that 60 is the number that you shouldn't pass.
The idea is that when you think about it as a thing where people want to see, where you've got it locked down perfectly from start to finish, you really want an hour and a half.
And you want your opening act to do at least 20, 25 minutes.
tom segura
Sure.
joe rogan
I'd go 15. There's nothing wrong with that.
bert kreischer
I do 15 and then I take the rest of the time.
I do a two-man show.
joe rogan
There's nothing wrong with that, but I like to bring headliners with me.
I bring anybody, any of you guys are welcome.
I bring Tony Hinchcliffe all the time, Ian Edwards.
Those guys are headliners.
unidentified
Dude, Ian Edwards is the funniest motherfucker.
bert kreischer
He's a monster.
I would say he's the most underrepresented comedy guy.
He should be a household fucking name.
joe rogan
I've been saying that forever, man.
I started out with Ian.
bert kreischer
Tony as well.
I didn't mean to skip over Tony.
ari shaffir
I've known Ian since like 1990. Yeah, I met Ian in 2002, 2003. We did a Pauly Shore thing in Miami and Rogan was like, who are you doing with us?
Ian Edwards was like, oh yeah, I know him.
I was like, wait, from what?
When?
It's like 84 years old.
joe rogan
Here's the thing about Ian.
He's a brilliant writer, too.
He gets writing gigs on sitcoms and all these other different shows.
And one of the things about writing gigs is, first of all, it's very convenient.
You don't have to go anywhere.
You stay in town and you get paid a nice amount of money.
You make good money.
It's hard to pass up on.
But the problem is you're not out there building your name in different cities and building up markets.
And you're not putting out a lot of comedy specials.
You only have one CD on Team Coco Records.
It's called 100% Half-Assed.
It's fucking hilarious.
But really, you've got to see him live.
His timing is fucking genius.
I've known that guy forever.
He's the nicest fucking person you're ever going to meet, too.
tom segura
He's so funny.
He has jokes that are burned into my memory.
ari shaffir
Yeah, that shark joke is great.
joe rogan
He's got so many.
tom segura
Haircut.
ari shaffir
So fucking talented.
joe rogan
As a person, he couldn't be a better person.
He couldn't be a better person.
That guy never has a problem with anybody.
ari shaffir
You know what I like about him is most of the person, when you're riffing jokes around a crowd, and they rely on someone getting offended sometimes when you say something horrible.
But since it's all comics, everyone's like, huh, yeah.
And no one gets offended.
But Ian is willing to be like, oh, dude, that is out there.
unidentified
And you're like, hell yes, I need that, thank you.
joe rogan
Yeah, he'll let you know.
He and I did a lot of gigs together.
We did a lot of gigs together this year.
Yeah, I did all my gigs getting ready for my last Netflix special were all with Ian or with Tony.
ari shaffir
That's cool.
joe rogan
And a couple with Santino.
tom segura
He's great.
ari shaffir
Santino's great.
joe rogan
Santino's a motherfucker, son!
bert kreischer
Dude, I bought his shoes.
joe rogan
He's a motherfucker.
bert kreischer
I like the set so much, I bought the shoes he was wearing.
joe rogan
Dude, these guys are coming up, man.
Tony Hinchcliffe was murdering it, too.
bert kreischer
Dude, Kill Tony is legit a sellout show.
joe rogan
It's a legit show.
bert kreischer
I remember doing it when he put 15 people in the room, him and Red Band.
Dude, they are selling out everywhere they fucking go, and it's a brilliant idea.
joe rogan
First of all, Tony is so good at roasting.
He's so good at that kind of shit.
That kind of situation where someone bombs and does one minute, he's a little murderer.
tom segura
Dude, he makes me blush sitting next to him.
bert kreischer
Dude, how many times have you sat next to him and he lights someone up and you hit him and you go, I'm three steps behind you.
tom segura
Oh, yeah, man.
ari shaffir
Oh, you already said that one.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
tom segura
I feel it down my back when he starts fucking lighting.
I'm like, shit.
joe rogan
He's good at it, dude.
The format is so genius.
ari shaffir
It's so perfect.
joe rogan
New comics, they do one minute.
At the end of the minute, Red Band gives them a meow.
Like, time's up, bitch.
tom segura
Fucking Red Ben.
joe rogan
Red Ben's good at that.
Fuck, the whole combination's great.
Jeremiah Watkins.
tom segura
Jeremiah's such a good improviser.
bert kreischer
Jeremiah is a fucking multi-haff...haffinate?
joe rogan
Fascinate.
Fascinate.
bert kreischer
Whatever the fuck he is.
joe rogan
Fascinate, that one.
bert kreischer
Jeremiah's a fuck.
He's all over the map.
unidentified
He'll do it all.
ari shaffir
He always brings a new character out for that.
joe rogan
Hilarious.
He's so funny, man.
bert kreischer
Okay, so when did this change?
When did things change?
Right now, we're talking about comics that...
Back in the day when we were coming up, no one ever gave us props for being funny and young.
And right now, when did that change in stand-up where everyone was like...
It became a community where everyone wanted to see people succeed.
joe rogan
Yeah, when I came up, I felt there was this weird, unnecessary competition between people.
Because I had come from a world of competition, so I was like, why are you guys pretending you're competing?
You're not competing.
Like, you're just...
There's a few people that are going to get certain roles and things, but the way to look at it correctly was not that you're competing.
The way to look at it correctly, in my estimation, was that we're helping each other.
Like, when I see you kill, I get inspired.
I see some new bit that's, like, really...
Well-crafted and hits me and surprises me, I get inspired.
And I think that when you see comics in a vacuum, like I remember when I was coming up, I would go on these weird tours.
We'd do a weird show in some weird town.
They had a local scene.
And the local scene was almost always hacky.
Like there's a few scenes that weren't hacky, like Houston wasn't hacky.
They had a lot of pride in not being hacky.
Boston was very not hacky.
New York was not hacky.
But Florida was hacking.
tom segura
Oh, yeah.
joe rogan
White trash.
There's a few places like that.
That's us, by the way.
ari shaffir
Specific white trash.
joe rogan
I was like, oh, they don't have anybody good that they're around.
And I remember how bad I was when I first started.
How hacky my ideas were, how shitty they were, but I got lucky that I was around guys like Lenny Clark and Barry Crimmins and you know and then after that wave it was Louis C.K. and Marc Maron and there was a lot and there was all these guys that nobody ever heard of that were really good but super ethical about their material and like really sharp about you you broke the fuck meter you said fuck too much like when you say it it ruins it for everybody Like,
they would explain, like, this comedy theory to you that was, like, really high-level stuff that I remember thinking, like, why doesn't everybody just do that for everybody, like, all over the place?
Like, why does everybody, like, treat this as if there's, like, a famine situation going on?
And there's a small amount of comedy fans.
No, bitch, you can't be in Cleveland every night and I'm going to be in Denver and you're going to be in Detroit.
We're supposed to support each other.
This is so stupid.
We're the only people that understand each other in terms of what a bizarre human being it takes to be on stage.
bert kreischer
Broken.
We are broken.
joe rogan
With a spotlight!
Talking shit!
ari shaffir
Yeah.
Not that many people know how to do it, so we may as well talk to each other.
joe rogan
But what was the change?
Well, the change was the internet.
This is why.
Because before the internet, everybody was like, I want to be the next host of The Tonight Show when Jay Leno retires.
And I'm the next Conan, but I'm on cable.
Everybody had this idea of being one person who stood out in a limited amount of slots.
And then the internet came around and no longer was there a limited amount of slots.
Instead, it's hard to remember.
But when I first started doing the acting shit, it's hard to remember what it was like back then.
No internet, and everything was on either NBC, ABC, CBS, or Fox.
That was it.
And there was a few VH1, MTV things.
It was famine.
ari shaffir
But they could choose.
There's also one person or one of 20 people who say, yes, you're in.
And then that's it.
Either you're in or you're not.
joe rogan
And this was for MTV, and this was for HBO comedy specials, and this was for all these things.
And it was good in that the people that got through were very high quality.
bert kreischer
Sometimes, sometimes.
joe rogan
A lot of them.
If you look back at the comics that became big off of HBO, they have the best record, I think, of all time.
If you were to judge, Chris Rock had HBO specials.
Louis C.K. Carlin had one a year for how long?
unidentified
I think he put out 16. Before you saw it or you'll never see it again.
joe rogan
Impossible to comprehend.
He did a new hour every year.
tom segura
And I went to one.
I got to see him run either the last one or the second to last one.
ari shaffir
At the store?
tom segura
No!
Fucking I wish.
And he would run it always the night before I learned later at Comedy Magic Club, which I lived nearby for a while.
But I got to see him do it at Universal Amphitheater when that was still a thing.
And for his closing bit...
He had it written down, and he told the 6,000-person audience.
He was working it like it was a fucking 80-person room.
He told 6,400 people.
He's like, this is how I remember this shit.
I gotta fucking read it.
So then he read the whole last bit, because it was really wordy.
It was like a monologue.
And he's like, this is how I ended up memorizing this, so you guys are gonna listen to me fucking read it.
joe rogan
I got to see him on the...
This is what he would do.
He would write a new monologue, essentially, and he would tighten up a little bit over the course of the year.
tom segura
I thought this was a dog the whole time, for some reason.
ari shaffir
It's a werewolf?
unidentified
What is it?
tom segura
It's just a cord.
I thought it was a dog nuzzling my leg.
bert kreischer
You really are, I? For real?
tom segura
Yeah, I was like, oh, that's a nice dog.
That was my thought.
joe rogan
You really thought there was a dog in there?
tom segura
For a second, I did, and then I just realized...
joe rogan
You thought it was a rat, and you're just so calm.
tom segura
I would freak out.
bert kreischer
That's happened in my house, because our cat brings rats in the house.
joe rogan
Isn't it funny that we're so racist against rats, but yet squirrels get a free pass?
A squirrel in the house, I'm trying to put a net over it and bring the little fella outside.
If it's a rat, I'm trying to kill everybody he's ever met.
I'm going to stomp that motherfucker.
bert kreischer
Someone said the only difference between squirrels and rats are their tails.
joe rogan
That's not totally true because rats carry plague and that's why we have an apprehension about them.
Tell that friend to go fuck himself with the shitty advice.
ari shaffir
Squirrels forever, yo.
Fuck off.
joe rogan
Squirrels.
I'm team squirrels, son.
tom segura
What were we just talking about?
joe rogan
Listen, this month, here's one thing that did happen to me.
I want to tell you guys this.
When it was over, did this month freak you out?
Like when it was over, when it was all said and done, like November 2nd maybe, I woke up.
And I went, what the fuck just happened?
How did I go from living this completely normal life of podcast guests and UFC to being involved in this fucking insane battle to the death?
tom segura
Yeah, I mean, you know what else occurred to me?
This probably doesn't occur to you because of your history with working out, but I had that exciting but disappointing thought of like, wow, I can't believe how much I was able to do.
Oh, I can't believe how much I'm able to do.
And don't.
ari shaffir
Don't, yeah.
That's in the last five days.
tom segura
Yeah, that's like a bummer, man.
Right?
To me it was.
I was like, I could be doing a lot more than this.
joe rogan
But here's the thing.
Do you want to be doing a lot more?
I don't think the key to be...
That's a good point.
It's definitely not to do what we did.
ari shaffir
If I could get there for an hour of running and an hour of weights twice a week, I'd be like, this is amazing.
Like, that's ahead of the curve.
Like, great.
joe rogan
That's health.
tom segura
Yeah.
joe rogan
That's a good number.
tom segura
How many?
ari shaffir
Two days of two hours.
joe rogan
Two days, two hours.
ari shaffir
Even like 45 minutes, 45 minutes.
tom segura
I do two days.
ari shaffir
You do?
joe rogan
And you know what's not a bad idea either?
You know what's not a bad idea?
Four days, half hour a day.
ari shaffir
That ain't that either.
bert kreischer
Wait, what are we talking about?
I'm lost.
So you're thinking four days for just a half an hour?
joe rogan
Yes.
ari shaffir
No, no, no, no.
bert kreischer
This changed my whole fucking way of looking at working out.
You've got to do an hour.
joe rogan
You can.
bert kreischer
You have to.
joe rogan
You certainly can.
bert kreischer
If you're me and Tom, you do.
joe rogan
I'm so impressed with you.
You can do a half an hour hard.
You can do a half an hour hard.
There's a DVD that I follow.
It's called the Kettlebell Extreme Cardio Workout by this guy, Keith Weber, who's a past guest.
bert kreischer
This is the dude that is by himself in a fucking room, steady shot?
joe rogan
Well, he does a couple different variations, but one of them he did on a beach, and this is the one he did.
He just takes a 35-pound kettlebell, and you're like, how hard could this be?
35 pounds is not heavy, but you do it for 40 minutes.
tom segura
40 minutes with that?
joe rogan
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
You have your little breaks.
bert kreischer
Tommy.
joe rogan
You have your little breaks.
bert kreischer
Tommy, I bought this.
I bought this because of this motherfucker.
joe rogan
You're going dark!
bert kreischer
It's impossible, Tom.
joe rogan
It's so dark.
bert kreischer
It's impossible.
joe rogan
But here's the thing.
After it's over, I could barely walk.
I could barely walk.
unidentified
I was hobbling.
tom segura
That's a good sign.
joe rogan
My hamstrings and my quads were destroyed.
tom segura
You know what I did the second to last day?
unidentified
What?
tom segura
I did 15-minute rounds with a guy with mitts.
ari shaffir
Up and down, up and down, up and down.
You could see the other people's stuff.
You could see some yellow.
tom segura
It would be on the...
unidentified
Well, I'd stay above 80. What did you think about when you were doing it?
tom segura
I thought about, I was trying to give my legs a rest.
So that was what prompted me to start it.
And then when I was doing it, I would just think about points and Burt.
joe rogan
Points and Burt.
ari shaffir
Burt was a great motivator.
bert kreischer
Let me tell you something.
ari shaffir
I did not want to come in last.
bert kreischer
I could use one little, just heads up.
tom segura
Seriously.
joe rogan
A heads up?
bert kreischer
You're welcome, everybody.
Because all of you were beating me.
And there was a part of me that definitely felt very alone.
joe rogan
That's not true.
Because I never thought you could ever beat me.
I wasn't beating you.
But here's what I was doing.
bert kreischer
That's not what I was looking for!
joe rogan
Here's what I was doing.
What I was doing was punishing you.
Because I wanted to take you on a dark, dark, dark tour of all of your insecurities and all of your thoughts of mortality.
I wanted to take you into a place where you could never travel.
We're going to go to the bottom of the ocean, motherfucker.
As soon as I saw these numbers and you were saying you're going to do double, I went, okay.
ari shaffir
You got him mad, you fucking idiots!
joe rogan
You didn't get me mad, but you made me open up the door to the dark place.
bert kreischer
First of all, you realize that when I was doing the videos, they were all for comedy effect.
joe rogan
I understand, but that doesn't matter to me when I'm in competition mode.
bert kreischer
When I did the video where I go, Joe, I saw your numbers.
I'm doubling them.
I came up with my dog, and then I pretended to lose my dog.
Everyone thought that was real.
I was like, my dog's had five knee surgeries.
She definitely can't like the Canyons.
tom segura
That was so funny because he definitely knew you were joking.
ari shaffir
But he was like, but fuck that.
joe rogan
I don't care.
It doesn't serve me.
To think that you're joking.
It serves me.
tom segura
Right.
joe rogan
It serves me to take you very seriously and to take you to the dark place.
tom segura
Yeah.
bert kreischer
I'll tell you what.
unidentified
What?
bert kreischer
I heard you talk to Nikki Glaser.
ari shaffir
Yeah.
bert kreischer
I heard that and I was like...
tom segura
What'd he say?
joe rogan
He said I'm trying to kill Bert.
unidentified
He did?
joe rogan
I'm trying to kill him.
ari shaffir
I saw Nikki that week after she was here.
joe rogan
I'm like, I hope he doesn't die.
bert kreischer
Just play it.
No, you didn't say I hope he doesn't die.
You did not say that.
joe rogan
That's how I felt.
ari shaffir
I hope he did die.
bert kreischer
That's not what you said.
tom segura
Alright, this is going to be my new favorite clip.
What is it?
unidentified
I should just be really clear.
joe rogan
We are right after Bird has said he's going to double my score.
tom segura
Right.
joe rogan
And I'm like...
tom segura
Right.
You're fired up by this.
joe rogan
This is great.
bert kreischer
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
tom segura
Isn't that so funny, though?
bert kreischer
If he fucked this up, basically?
tom segura
He definitely pushed him harder.
joe rogan
Let's listen to him.
tom segura
What did you say?
bert kreischer
There's not a part of you that respected the Conor McGregor and me.
joe rogan
How dare you?
How dare you compare yourself to one of the greatest mixed martial arts fighters of all time who has the support of the entire nation of Ireland.
bert kreischer
You know Conor McGregor looks at me and you and can explore with me.
tom segura
Over 5,700.
joe rogan
Whoever the fuck is in Ireland.
tom segura
Connor would love Bert.
bert kreischer
Connor would fucking...
If you said Connor, you got one hour to hang out with one guy, he's picking me, bro.
unidentified
I talk shit.
I talk shit.
joe rogan
You might ask me advice.
I would like to talk to him about his future.
I have some thoughts.
bert kreischer
I want him on your podcast so bad, man.
joe rogan
I love that guy.
ari shaffir
Why hasn't he been on your podcast?
joe rogan
I don't know.
We were supposed to do it a long time ago.
I had his trainer on really recently.
I hope he doesn't think that in any way that I don't respect him or appreciate him.
Because fighters are super, super sensitive.
I've gone through that a few times.
I called Tony Ferguson, who's literally one of my all-time favorite fighters.
I said he was a brilliant weirdo.
Because he wears, like, ankle weights the way he is.
unidentified
He got mad at you?
joe rogan
He got mad at me.
He got upset.
And I had to talk to him, and I had to, like, try to sort it out.
I did it through someone else.
And I was like, fuck.
ari shaffir
What pussies they all are at the inside.
joe rogan
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
It seems like that.
It seems like that.
But what it is, is you're so exposed.
What you're doing is so personal.
It's so insane.
What we can brush off, it's way harder for them.
If you lose a fight and someone disrespects you or in public sentiment keeps you from getting a title shot, that's a significant part of their life.
And they're not used to dealing with public reaction.
What they're used to dealing with is competition.
So the public reaction thing of celebrity is an afterthought.
It's something, an after effect of competition, right?
You become successful, and then you have to deal with all these people around you that want you to dance.
Well, Conor McGregor is a natural shit talker.
bert kreischer
Thank you.
joe rogan
He's a great fighter, but he's also a natural shit talker.
You want a buffalo bar?
unidentified
Yeah.
bert kreischer
Dude, that's what I love about Conor McGregor.
ari shaffir
So why have you had Conor McGregor and Bernie Sanders on?
It's a weird situation that you haven't had either one of those people on.
joe rogan
I tried to get Bernie recently.
tom segura
He said no?
joe rogan
Some fake Bernie contacted us.
tom segura
Oh, you said you were had, right?
joe rogan
Yeah, I was had.
They got me.
And I said, I'm a big fan.
I like a lot of your ideas.
I'd love to have you on.
And then it was a fake Bernie.
ari shaffir
Why would he not come out of here, though?
joe rogan
I don't think he wants to run for president, man.
ari shaffir
Why would he still not come out of here to show his ideas?
unidentified
I don't know.
joe rogan
I don't know, man.
tom segura
You know what I fucking love, by the way, about Conor McGregor?
Is that he made me re-appreciate the athlete who knows they're also an entertainer.
unidentified
Yeah.
tom segura
I actually...
bert kreischer
Thank you.
tom segura
You know, there's people that did that.
I mean, everyone would probably give Ali credit for being...
joe rogan
Do you know why it works?
tom segura
I don't know why it works.
joe rogan
Because that's who he is.
tom segura
That's who he is, right.
joe rogan
That guy would be talking shit and sparring.
There's guys that are just funny like that.
tom segura
That doc on him is fantastic.
joe rogan
Look at him, he's smoking weed with Mike Tyson.
By the way, Mike Tyson owns a goddamn weed farm.
What is it called now?
Yeah, what is it called?
Jamie, make that smaller, please, so we can read what the hashtag is.
It used to have...
Goddamn.
It used to say something about Tyson something or another.
Did they edit it?
jamie vernon
I didn't see it on there earlier.
I looked.
joe rogan
Huh.
ari shaffir
He's having fun.
joe rogan
He has some sort of company.
They're growing weed.
Mike Tyson's growing weed.
tom segura
That's wild.
ari shaffir
These are great.
bert kreischer
Dude, the thing that's great about...
It's really tricky about the UFC because I love...
joe rogan
Mike Tyson reportedly building a 40-acre weed farm.
Bam!
tom segura
Oh, cabbage will be there.
ari shaffir
Cabbage?
unidentified
What?
joe rogan
Is that in Nevada?
ari shaffir
That's in California?
joe rogan
That's in California.
ari shaffir
Did you see that?
joe rogan
But I do have to tell you...
ari shaffir
Wait, can I just read the first line?
Boxer, actor, and rapist, Mike Tyson.
unidentified
Jesus, man.
joe rogan
Does he actually say that?
tom segura
It does say that.
bert kreischer
It does say that.
tom segura
Who the fuck wrote that?
joe rogan
Some really mean person.
bert kreischer
This has got to be theroots.com.
ari shaffir
That's rude.
unidentified
Let it...
tom segura
God.
joe rogan
Bro.
Seriously.
unidentified
Bro.
tom segura
I mean, to open your article like that?
joe rogan
Here, you know, all bullshit aside, there has to be some way.
ari shaffir
That's crazy.
tom segura
It's crazy.
joe rogan
There has to be some way for people to bounce back from horrible things, right?
tom segura
He did.
joe rogan
He did.
tom segura
He definitely did.
He would be, like, front and center.
ari shaffir
Marion Barry did it.
Mike Tyson did it.
joe rogan
Dude, I met Marion Barry on the Opie and Anthony show.
ari shaffir
Yeah, I was with you.
joe rogan
Yeah, that's right, you were.
And as soon as he came in, I started asking him about crack.
tom segura
You did?
unidentified
Yeah.
ari shaffir
He went straight at him.
We were all staring at him and Joe was like, I'll lead this.
joe rogan
My thought was like I had someone trapped in a corner.
Like I had a wounded thing in a corner.
ari shaffir
Okay, just so you know, by the way, he was just in the hallway looking for his next interview and Norton run out and be like, hey man, you're in here.
Come on in here with us.
I just brought him in.
joe rogan
I'm like, he's going to run.
He's going to run.
tom segura
What did you say to him?
joe rogan
I said, did you smoke crack?
ari shaffir
No, no, no, no, no.
joe rogan
And I asked him about the...
ari shaffir
No, that's not what you said.
You said, what a testimony to the American spirit you are, that you can come back from all these things and manage to reclaim yourself and become mayor again of Washington, D.C., despite everything you went through.
joe rogan
Yeah.
ari shaffir
And he goes, what did I go through?
joe rogan
That's right.
unidentified
That's what he said?
joe rogan
He said, no one knows what's in that pipe.
I go, what did you just say to me?
No one knows what's in that pipe.
ari shaffir
He said, I didn't smoke crack.
He said, I can't even smoke crack, but he didn't smoke crack.
No one knows what's in that pipe.
joe rogan
No, he didn't even say he didn't smoke crack.
I think he'd already realized legalese at that point.
tom segura
Yeah.
joe rogan
So I don't think he said...
Did he say I didn't smoke crack?
ari shaffir
He didn't.
No.
joe rogan
I think he said, no one knows what was in that pipe.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Yeah.
unidentified
And I went, oh, this is some jujitsu!
joe rogan
You just got underhooks on me!
tom segura
He served you up, man.
ari shaffir
But then Joe said, well, what did...
You think you were smoking when you smoked whatever was in that pipe.
I mean, when you lit it up, what did you think was going to be?
joe rogan
He wasn't supposed to be there.
I knew we had to have him.
tom segura
He took off.
joe rogan
That's where he left.
ari shaffir
That's where he's like, uh, you got me?
unidentified
Good.
ari shaffir
Well played.
See you later.
joe rogan
I knew we had to get him quick.
I was like, you got to get this guy quick.
This guy's going to try to do a two-minute.
I'm here to say hi.
I'm watching DC in the house.
Thank you very much for voting for me again.
Holla!
tom segura
Yeah, yeah.
joe rogan
He just wanted to come and say hi and bolt.
So I just had to grab him.
ari shaffir
Can I say this?
That I got a letter when we registered.
I was like, I don't know how to do it.
I was so mad about doing this thing in the first place.
I didn't want to get talked into Sober October again.
Wait, hold on, hold on.
Stop.
tom segura
You called me beginning.
bert kreischer
Will you do it next year?
ari shaffir
No.
bert kreischer
Yes.
He's going to do it.
The answer is yes.
ari shaffir
Wait a minute.
tom segura
Is there any penalty for this year?
joe rogan
Hold on a second, Ari.
bert kreischer
I owe everyone something.
Hold, please.
I owe everyone something.
joe rogan
Let me appeal...
You gotta drink piss.
Let me appeal...
ari shaffir
That's what I said.
bert kreischer
I'll drink yours.
I need that recovery.
joe rogan
Let me appeal to your fiscal sensibilities, Ari.
unidentified
Okay.
joe rogan
What if next year we've got a sponsor?
Like, I just want to tell you guys, this is like one of the most popular podcasts we've ever done, by far.
It is this whole series of podcasts we're doing, from the Weight Loss Podcast to last year's Sober October to this year.
ari shaffir
Why would you call it Weight Loss Podcast instead of Fat Challenge Podcast?
tom segura
God.
joe rogan
I'm trying to be positive, bro.
bert kreischer
Thank you, Joe.
joe rogan
I'm trying to be body positive.
tom segura
Yeah, man.
unidentified
Every curve is exactly where it's supposed to be.
joe rogan
Us competing, random points every quarter.
ari shaffir
Okay, but you guys, here's what you're going to say.
joe rogan
We'll be the greatest show of all time.
That's not going to happen.
I'm busy.
You're busy, too.
bert kreischer
I would do every quarter.
I would do every quarter.
joe rogan
But once a year would be a fucking holiday.
tom segura
Once a year is good.
joe rogan
We invent our own holiday.
ari shaffir
Okay, but you guys, listen, I understand.
I know what it's like.
You have babies.
It's okay.
You devote your life to other things.
But I have fun.
I do things that you all legitimately want to still be doing.
joe rogan
There's no way out of this.
ari shaffir
October is not the right time.
tom segura
You're doing it.
It's the best drinking in New York.
joe rogan
I appreciate you.
ari shaffir
November, December, January, February.
bert kreischer
So you're in.
ari shaffir
Those are all okay times.
This is ridiculous.
joe rogan
I love you like no one else in your life.
ari shaffir
It's hurting my life.
I don't have an issue.
It's hurting my life.
joe rogan
Mine too.
tom segura
You were great this year.
joe rogan
You did a great job.
bert kreischer
You did a great job, bro.
joe rogan
You did a great job.
I took the last day off.
ari shaffir
You could have.
You were at fucking 4200 points.
tom segura
He told me, he was like, well, you just fucking sync up and just let me know if I have to get back on the treadmill.
bert kreischer
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
You guys were all talking independently?
No, because I was only talking to the group.
ari shaffir
Here or there?
tom segura
I mean, this was last day.
unidentified
Last day.
tom segura
I think he was 700 ahead.
bert kreischer
I was like, I'm not doing 700. I went, I did a day time.
Hey, give me another cocktail.
ari shaffir
I did a day time.
bert kreischer
This is fucking ridiculous.
ari shaffir
I did a day time workout.
tom segura
How about that one?
joe rogan
It's Japanese stuff that's from my friend Todd White.
ari shaffir
Hibiki.
Dude, I was supposed to have won all these fucking whiskey awards over the Scottish.
They got all mad about it.
unidentified
What's that?
joe rogan
This is a shout-out to my friend Todd White, who I used to do jiu-jitsu with, who is now head instructor of John Jock Machado, Todd White Jiu-Jitsu Academy in Austin, Texas.
He's also a brilliant artist, super famous artist, and he sent me this because he's beautiful.
ari shaffir
It's a great scotch.
joe rogan
Try it.
ari shaffir
I mean, uh, whiskey.
tom segura
Nice.
joe rogan
Pass some of them Isils down this way.
Those Isils?
By the way, I go to your mom's house whenever I want to know what kind of weird nonsense is floating around the internet.
Who's eating shit?
You're stabbing people to death with two tips.
unidentified
Hold on, hold on.
bert kreischer
Best one ever right now is Garth fucking Brooks.
Oh my god.
Dude, are you watching that?

Oh my god.

Pour some to Ari.
ari shaffir
I shouldn't even have this.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
bert kreischer
Yeah, no Ari.
joe rogan
Powerful purist.
unidentified
What are you doing?
tom segura
What are you doing?
ari shaffir
Okay, I'll deal with it.
unidentified
Okay, that's good.
ari shaffir
Good, thank you.
unidentified
Yeah, he is.
joe rogan
He really is.
bert kreischer
I'll deal with it.
ari shaffir
I'm dealing with it.
I'm telling if he can fucking deal with his own thing.
bert kreischer
That should be the name of your next tour.
ari shaffir
I'm dealing with it.
unidentified
Cheers.
ari shaffir
It was awful, guys!
Why would we not drink during October?
bert kreischer
We're doing it again.
unidentified
Not October!
ari shaffir
That's stupid!
joe rogan
Is it a New York City thing?
ari shaffir
Yes, you guys don't understand what it's like there.
It's the best month to drink in New York.
I would walk by bars, longingly, going, I want to go in there now.
bert kreischer
Oh, I don't know what that feels like.
joe rogan
The whiskey's good.
tom segura
Did you really turn 53?
bert kreischer
Shut the fuck up.
ari shaffir
Wow, Brad.
bert kreischer
You and your fake news.
tom segura
Hey, will you say Bert is 53?
bert kreischer
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
ari shaffir
Sound bite.
tom segura
Will you?
joe rogan
I know I'm lying.
bert kreischer
Thank you, Joe.
ari shaffir
Thank you.
joe rogan
Bert is 53. But meanwhile, you guys, I'm two years away from 53. I'm 51. I know, but that's crazy.
tom segura
He's two years older than you?
That's nuts.
unidentified
That Bert is now 53. They changed his birthday in Wikipedia and everything.
joe rogan
Who's going to win the surf challenge next year?
unidentified
Me.
joe rogan
Because we're going deep.
We're taking a month off.
tom segura
How many have you lost now?
Challenges.
joe rogan
This is the second, but here's what's important.
bert kreischer
The third.
joe rogan
Nobody lost or won.
ari shaffir
I couldn't believe I beat you, Bert.
I couldn't believe I beat you.
joe rogan
Who saw this Wikipedia, Bert?
unidentified
There he put it on your Wikipedia.
joe rogan
Wikipedia, you can suck my dick!
unidentified
Do you understand what kind of fake news you're dishing out?
tom segura
You guys have to wish Bert a happy 53rd birthday.
It was just the other day.
ari shaffir
It was yesterday.
tom segura
It was yesterday?
bert kreischer
Yeah, it was two days ago.
joe rogan
You guys are making me feel bad because I'm 24 months away from what you're making fun of.
tom segura
No, but...
bert kreischer
But Bert's already doing it.
joe rogan
Generally, when I say I'm 51, I'm like, is that real?
tom segura
First of all, that's insane.
But you realize when you're 53, Bert will be 55. Oh, also, by the way...
People are happy about that.
They're like, he looks good.
bert kreischer
Dude, I can't control it.
I cannot control fake news.
You try to, because you're like, hey man, I'm not the fattest comic ever performing stand-up.
tom segura
I've spread some stuff about you.
bert kreischer
Oh, no shit, you fucking asshole.
ari shaffir
What'd you spread about him?
unidentified
Nothing.
ari shaffir
Everything you said was just reported.
bert kreischer
That's true.
joe rogan
Fat's not necessarily bad if you've got all your other bases covered.
ari shaffir
I don't understand how you lost so much weight and still managed to have that belly.
It doesn't make sense to me.
bert kreischer
Lead athlete.
joe rogan
Let's get that Mickey Mantle gene.
tom segura
It is crazy.
joe rogan
Are you going to stop saying that or are you going to double down?
No way.
bert kreischer
What I loved about it...
tom segura
Burt's tour, by the way, will validate the Mickey Mantle gene.
Because Burt's tour is like 10 shows a week, back to back weeks.
I mean, it's some real Mickey Mantle shit, for sure.
joe rogan
You're doing a lot of shows.
bert kreischer
I am.
ari shaffir
But it's like, I don't want to just lose my family.
I want to drive them away completely.
bert kreischer
Dude, I was thinking about it.
How much fun would you have had back in the day?
I really think stand-up was totally globally different if you were on the road with Joey Diaz, Ari Shafir, Red Band, and a tour bus.
ari shaffir
It had to be more fun.
bert kreischer
Oh, you guys would have had a fucking insane time.
joe rogan
Dude, we had so much fun.
ari shaffir
Tour bus, though?
It would have been fucking cool.
joe rogan
We had so much fun.
bert kreischer
I've never hit a blunt before.
joe rogan
I don't need it to be more fun.
bert kreischer
Never hit a blunt.
joe rogan
You don't know, like, Ari and Joey and Red Band and Duncan, like, the road trips that we went on, the fun that we had, we didn't need more fun.
We just needed to appreciate what was happening while it was happening.
We had, like, no one...
I'm good.
ari shaffir
Jamie, Jamie, Jamie.
joe rogan
Oh, did you get any of that?
ari shaffir
Damn, Jamie left out.
joe rogan
Did you get a drink?
Do you want one?
tom segura
I didn't even tell you.
joe rogan
I feel weird with you being sober in this room.
tom segura
I did the bus this weekend.
ari shaffir
Yeah?
tom segura
I fucking loved it.
joe rogan
You loved the bus?
tom segura
I did.
I liked it a lot.
joe rogan
You ever been in an accident, son?
tom segura
I've been in car accidents.
bert kreischer
Can we change subjects?
tom segura
But not in a bus.
joe rogan
Pretty common.
tom segura
Yeah.
joe rogan
Much more common than plane crashes.
bert kreischer
Oh, cool, cool, cool.
I know you're fucking with me right now.
tom segura
But they're built like tanks.
unidentified
They're built like tanks.
ari shaffir
You know when you're driving around, you're sitting in there.
joe rogan
You're sitting at that little fucking diner seat.
You're not wearing a seatbelt, bitch.
tom segura
That's true.
I liked it.
unidentified
I liked it a lot.
joe rogan
You're going 80 miles an hour down the highway, no seatbelt, the fucking 80,000 pound tuba metal.
tom segura
But you will just run through shit.
bert kreischer
Body Shots World Tour, everyone.
Tour bus from January till April.
joe rogan
What would you feel like if you listened to my voice?
And you heard it in your head, the moment your face was hitting the LCD screen.
tom segura
God damn it.
That would suck.
joe rogan
The moment you were flying towards his screen.
tom segura
I remember this moment.
joe rogan
At an impossible speed.
tom segura
Like, fuck this.
joe rogan
And I was going, dude, just fucking take the day off and fly.
tom segura
Oh, no, no, no.
bert kreischer
Take the day off.
ari shaffir
I like the idea of a tour bus.
I just booked four more weeks.
unidentified
You're not going to crash.
bert kreischer
Wait, look at me.
I'm the one doing it.
unidentified
You might not crash.
joe rogan
Most of the time you're not going to crash.
ari shaffir
That sounds pretty awesome.
bert kreischer
Joe, come out on the road with me.
tom segura
You know who's got the fucking...
joe rogan
You know who's got the best bus?
Here's where we're fucking up.
unidentified
We need to do a goddamn stadium tour, boys!
All of us!
tom segura
I'll do a tour.
bert kreischer
I'll drop my entire 2019 tour.
ari shaffir
Wait, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
Why don't we do...
Let's not have to get too grand.
Just start.
joe rogan
Shut up, bitch.
ari shaffir
Wait.
One giant show.
joe rogan
We're going big.
I don't want to hear this pull-back pussy shit.
unidentified
No, no.
ari shaffir
Listen to what I'm saying.
One giant show.
joe rogan
Everywhere.
Across the country.
ari shaffir
At like Madison Square Garden.
joe rogan
45 different cities.
ari shaffir
Something massive.
joe rogan
One giant show.
tom segura
Yeah.
joe rogan
Listen, we could do that tomorrow.
Here's the deal.
If each one of us did a half an hour, we got a two-hour show.
I can do a half an hour right now.
tom segura
Yeah.
bert kreischer
Me too.
I'd love to do a half an hour.
joe rogan
That's all I got.
I got 35 minutes.
Maybe 34. 35 if I shut the jive.
bert kreischer
No, I'm not smoking any more weed.
tom segura
You gotta have it.
bert kreischer
You are the worst fucking friend I ever met.
joe rogan
No, no, no.
The best friend.
tom segura
I love you.
bert kreischer
You do not love me.
tom segura
I love you!
joe rogan
He does love you.
bert kreischer
Who do you think loves who more?
Me or you?
tom segura
I love you more.
joe rogan
Wow, that's some needy shit right there, son.
bert kreischer
I love you more.
joe rogan
Why don't you guys just butt fuck and get this over with?
tom segura
You gotta be kidding me.
bert kreischer
You really think you love me more?
Who do you think loves who more?
joe rogan
I don't.
I've never thought about that with you, Ari.
ari shaffir
No, I have not thought about that either.
bert kreischer
You love Ari more than Ari loves you?
joe rogan
No, I just want Ari to know that I never thought, does Ari love me more than I love him?
unidentified
But now that you think about it, do I love him more than he loves me?
ari shaffir
I never thought about that.
tom segura
Now what do you think?
joe rogan
I love Ari.
ari shaffir
I think you guys are both faggots.
Both of you.
And we're not going to be tied into this.
tom segura
That's rude.
joe rogan
I feel like I don't have a meter.
I don't have a love meter, Bert.
bert kreischer
I love you, Joe.
joe rogan
Who's higher on the love meter?
tom segura
I love you, Joe.
joe rogan
I would stop almost dying.
I was so tired.
Like, running to the top of the hill.
unidentified
I'm in a dump of whatever Joe does.
tom segura
You fueled this.
You realized that?
You fueled it.
bert kreischer
Dude, I'm Conor McGregor.
ari shaffir
I don't think you understand.
Okay, so Tom, when we got this thing, I was like, I don't want to do this.
And Tom was like, I'll register you.
I'm like, I don't know how to register.
I'm like, I'll register.
Here's a number.
tom segura
Yeah, I gave it to you.
ari shaffir
Register.
Yeah.
And then you did the same thing with Bert, I think.
unidentified
Yeah.
ari shaffir
Anyway, I got an email about the 10th or 12th of October from some lady at Snap Fitness in Shawnee, Kansas, saying, hey, just so you know, you're accidentally registered in my gym, and we are doing an October challenge.
Yeah.
So I think I should take you off.
Currently, you're in third place.
tom segura
And then what did you say?
ari shaffir
I was like, really?
joe rogan
Excuse me.
First place.
tom segura
No, but third at the time, right?
ari shaffir
And I was like, for real?
I was like, I can take you out, but I'm in a podcast challenge with my friends Rogan, Tom Segura, and Bert Kreischer.
And he goes, oh, Bert Kreischer, he's in sixth place.
In our legit gym of people trying to work out.
tom segura
For a second, you were like, oh, Bert Kreischer.
bert kreischer
You motherfuckers.
joe rogan
He was so excited.
unidentified
He was so excited that you were going to say that she was like, Oh, Bert Kreischer, the comedian.
tom segura
I love him.
bert kreischer
She just knows you.
unidentified
At least I'm being honest.
bert kreischer
I'm being honest.
ari shaffir
She just knows you as B. Kreisch.
B. Kreisch from the leaderboard.
unidentified
You were so happy.
You were so happy.
She's like, that's my all-time favorite comedian.
Listen.
Listen.
Be honest though!
ari shaffir
You got caught feelings!
unidentified
He got excited!
bert kreischer
I caught feelings so hard!
joe rogan
But be honest!
unidentified
He got excited!
He got so excited!
ari shaffir
Oh, Bert Kreischer from that Netflix special?
unidentified
No!
ari shaffir
No, that was not what she even brought up!
tom segura
The back of my head hurts!
ari shaffir
That was not the conversation at all!
tom segura
Oh my god!
ari shaffir
No, just Bert Kreischer!
I know him from the words B. Kreischer!
On the leaderboard.
tom segura
This is so great!
bert kreischer
So sad.
You know what?
joe rogan
But I have to be honest, as humble as I try to be, if she said, oh, Joe Rogan?
Like the comedian Joe Rogan?
I'd be like, oh, she likes me.
unidentified
Dude, by the way, I recognize that because that's exactly how I feel.
You would be like that if someone said Thompson were like, oh my god, disgraceful!
Oh my god!
tom segura
She's like, I see this fucking name on my board.
I'd be like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
ari shaffir
Anyway, so I was like, yeah, you can take me off.
Just don't make sure my points don't start over.
And she goes, you know what?
Actually, that's cool.
I'm going to keep you guys on there.
joe rogan
Do you understand that we got better as a score in terms of how well we did in comparison to most people?
It was 0.1%, which is much higher.
ari shaffir
It doesn't make sense!
joe rogan
Much higher than Elizabeth Warren is claiming to be Native American.
Do you understand?
Do you understand these numbers?
unidentified
We're closer to Calahans than she is in Pocahontas.
joe rogan
That's exactly what I'm saying.
That's exactly what I'm saying.
Do you know how crazy we did?
What we did was bizarre.
tom segura
I shout out to Impact Fitness out here.
ari shaffir
That's who you registered with?
tom segura
That's who I registered with.
ari shaffir
Did you ever go to the gym?
tom segura
Yeah, I work out there all the time.
That's how I got it.
ari shaffir
That's actually how it is.
tom segura
You're good.
joe rogan
Keep going.
tom segura
So Micah, Brian, and Sean, I worked out with them all month.
ari shaffir
Wow.
Do you get personal trainers?
tom segura
Yeah, those are the guys.
ari shaffir
Oh, I met a dude yesterday.
Acro-yogist.
He was like, let me fly you.
joe rogan
What'd he say?
ari shaffir
Acro-yogist.
He puts you on his legs like a baby, holds you up, stretches you and shit.
He was like, hey, do you know Bert Kreischer?
I would love to do that with him.
And I was like, do you normally do with like two people on one guy?
And he was like, what do you mean?
And I was like, he's very fat.
I don't think you'd get him up.
He goes, I for sure could not get him up.
That's something I had to think about.
bert kreischer
I'm gonna fucking die.
joe rogan
That guy was anticipating a human centipede on a trampoline.
bert kreischer
Oh my god.
joe rogan
Oh, trapeze.
What's that one that swings?
tom segura
Yeah.
Trapeze, right?
joe rogan
Human centipede with the three of you.
tom segura
I love that.
ari shaffir
I don't understand how we all went so hard.
tom segura
Who do you think loves who more?
Come on.
bert kreischer
Do you think?
Do you think?
I swear to God.
I'm going to answer your answer now.
unidentified
Answer your answer.
bert kreischer
We're not doing this.
I'll answer.
Tom will answer.
Ariel will answer.
You're not allowed to answer.
Do you think you love Ari?
ari shaffir
No, I'm not joining on this.
We're all like each other a lot.
You guys are crazy to be thinking about this level.
bert kreischer
I like my friends.
ari shaffir
My friends like me.
You guys are crazy to be focusing on the wrong things.
Joe, go.
joe rogan
Yes, I've spent more time with Ari than any of you.
So if one of you tried to attack Ari, I have a problem with that.
Ari and I have been friends for too long.
I'd be like, that doesn't make sense.
It doesn't compute.
This is my friend.
We've got to work this out.
I don't know you as well as I know him for a million hours.
I know you for 400,000.
We have to figure this out.
I still know you really well.
What the fuck went wrong?
That's just how we all have to be.
I don't love anybody anymore, but if one of you fucks with me...
bert kreischer
If we're on an island, you've got to eat someone first!
tom segura
Oh, you know the answer, bro.
ari shaffir
You guys are crazy the way you think.
joe rogan
Let me tell you something.
I'm starving to death before I eat any of you.
unidentified
For real?
joe rogan
Yes, 100%.
unidentified
I don't want to live, but there's no one else.
tom segura
I'm eating dead bodies.
joe rogan
Are you being serious?
ari shaffir
You're a dead body?!
Not kill me to eat me.
joe rogan
I don't want to stay alive, man.
unidentified
Dead body!
bert kreischer
Dead body within an hour.
ari shaffir
It's just a vessel!
tom segura
I would 100% pull you aside and be like, who do you want to kill, bro?
unidentified
That's what I would say.
ari shaffir
I would be like, who gets the eyeballs?
We know that's a delicacy.
Who gets the eyeballs?
bert kreischer
It's always starting with Rogan's ass.
joe rogan
The problem is, you don't want to die knowing you ate your friend, and it didn't matter.
tom segura
Disagree!
unidentified
Disagree!
ari shaffir
You don't want to die knowing you ate your friend to live!
tom segura
Here's the reality.
If you hadn't said this, and this scenario is real, the three of us would be so paranoid about you killing us that we would definitely kill you.
We would be like, everything is cool, and then we would take rocks and just absolutely fumble you.
unidentified
No, no, no, no, no.
bert kreischer
Think it through.
How do we kill Rowling?
ari shaffir
Hey, Tom, can I talk to you about over here for the second?
unidentified
Oh, water?
joe rogan
You're going to go get the water for today?
ari shaffir
You know Joe's going to kill us, right?
tom segura
Hey, definitely.
So tonight, when he sleeps, we've got to definitely kill him.
ari shaffir
I think we've got to.
tom segura
You've got to.
I'll get the big rock, and you get the other rock.
bert kreischer
Seriously, we have competed against him.
How do you think we would go about killing him?
tom segura
We would have to make him think that we're definitely not thinking about that.
Of course I don't think you're thinking about it.
But we would try to be slick about it.
bert kreischer
No, no, no.
We'd sit by fire, and then I would go, hey, Joe, when you eat marijuana, does that break down differently in your liver than other things?
ari shaffir
I'm just going to walk around behind you real quick.
joe rogan
Bam!
ari shaffir
No, you gotta think that he would be thinking the same thing too.
So he's like, oh fuck, I would never turn against these guys.
But for sure when I'm thinking about it, they think if I could turn against them, I would.
I'm gonna have to kill them.
That's right.
They're gonna do it immediately.
I gotta do it tonight.
joe rogan
You just gotta accept the fact that you're gonna starve to death.
That's what you gotta do.
You gotta accept it because if there's only four of us left and we're in the woods and we're stuck on the top of a mountain and no one's gotten to us yet, what are the odds they're gonna get to us?
How much time do we have left?
30 hours if everything goes great?
tom segura
The truth is, Ari would wither away first.
ari shaffir
No, here's the real truth.
I've just been thinking about it.
unidentified
I would say immediately, guys, I see what's on both your minds.
ari shaffir
You're all thinking of killing each other.
I get it from both your points of view.
If we do this, we're never gonna survive.
I propose a truce.
Joe, go hunt food.
Bert, start the fire.
You're the cook, obviously.
Tom...
I don't know, man.
College football is your strength, I guess.
You know a lot about that.
unidentified
Listen, if it's just us, think about it.
joe rogan
If it was just us, if it was just us living in the woods, if the world went to shit and we're like on an episode of Life Below Zero, we live in some sort of fucking house that we have to put together ourself, we'll make it.
Just like we got through this weird month, okay?
That's true.
What's fucking strange about being a person is that you don't know what your boundaries are.
You just know what you do most of the time.
So all of a sudden, when something comes up that requires way more of what you're used to putting out.
ari shaffir
Way more!
joe rogan
Way more!
Dude!
tom segura
But isn't that fucking with your perspective at all?
That you know what you're capable of?
unidentified
I already beat myself up about that.
Yeah.
ari shaffir
I already beat myself up about that.
joe rogan
We are middle-aged comedians.
tom segura
Yeah, of course.
So you go, like, I'm not doing enough already.
I think you already go, I'm not doing enough already.
ari shaffir
Okay.
tom segura
So then when you have that thought and you do a month like that, then you go, I'm really not doing enough.
joe rogan
Really not doing that.
ari shaffir
Yeah, for real.
What I try to do is eat healthy.
I fuck hard every time.
joe rogan
I bet you do.
ari shaffir
And then, you know, I walk.
I take bikes also.
A combination of all those.
joe rogan
Do you ever fuck while you're chewing gum?
ari shaffir
Why'd that jump?
bert kreischer
Wait, is that a bitch?
tom segura
That's fucking aggressive.
joe rogan
That's our picture, Ari.
Waddle gum.
stronger with the sugar content.
bert kreischer
Big Lee Chew, dude.
Big Lee Chew is the best.
Big Lee Chew.
ari shaffir
When you see it at a fucking sporting goods store or something, you're like, yeah.
I'm chewing that for the rest of the week.
bert kreischer
I just bought a five-gallon tub of it for my daughter's Waddle gum.
tom segura
Wad Five gallons?
bert kreischer
You're a good dad, bro.
And I was like, dude, welcome to fucking drugs.
joe rogan
That's what I picture Ari, Big League Chew laying pipe.
Just chew, chew, bang, bang.
ari shaffir
I kept meaning to wear the fucking, the strap while it was fucking.
bert kreischer
I did it, Jack.
joe rogan
You wrote that?
You said something about my cock fast and hard.
That was the name of one of your posts.
ari shaffir
Oh, maybe.
bert kreischer
Hold on, they don't know what you're talking about.
ari shaffir
Right at the end of the last day, I put it on right at the end, though.
But I was like, you know how your heartbeat goes down fast?
joe rogan
Yeah.
ari shaffir
Yeah, by the time it went down to like 170. 12 points.
So I was for sure over 180 while I was happy.
bert kreischer
I jacked off in Phoenix.
joe rogan
You got 12 points for jerking off?
bert kreischer
12 points for jerking off.
I got done in the workout.
Went up to the room.
Heart rate's still on.
Still in the blue.
joe rogan
You know what you should have done just for science?
tom segura
How high did it get?
bert kreischer
I sat down.
It got up to the green.
Never got into the yellow, but I had to...
When I was doing it, it wasn't moving out of the gray.
joe rogan
Here's my thoughts.
tom segura
What were you watching?
bert kreischer
I had to watch it.
Interesting.
I had turned off the Bluetooth because it was based on my headsets that I just worked off, and it cut off the monitor.
And so I thought it was a dead...
Yeah, it cut off the monitor.
If your Bluetooth wasn't on, it didn't register points.
unidentified
Right, right, right, right, right.
joe rogan
So you can't have headsets?
But you can have headsets.
unidentified
Yeah.
bert kreischer
No, no, no, no.
I cut off the headset so I could hear the porn on my phone.
So I cut off the Bluetooth so I could watch the porn.
And by the way, I had to sit down like a catcher.
I had to squat to jack off to try to burn.
ari shaffir
To get some movement.
bert kreischer
I was like, yeah, so I'm squatting, I'm pumping up a little bit, pumping.
And yeah, 12 points.
12 points, but I was afraid I didn't register them at all.
joe rogan
That's a fun point.
ari shaffir
Those are fun points.
tom segura
Hey, that's three minutes, bro.
Oh, no, that's four minutes, because you're in the green.
bert kreischer
Yeah, don't think I wasn't.
unidentified
I added wrong.
joe rogan
You know, in a lot of those Kung Fu classes, they make you do a horse dance, and they make you hold it.
ari shaffir
That would get you for a while.
joe rogan
Get into a horse dance, stand like this, and you just hold it.
ari shaffir
Really?
joe rogan
They make you stand for like 40 minutes, 45 minutes.
unidentified
40 minutes?
bert kreischer
No.
joe rogan
No, no bullshit.
Yeah, there's a lot of really wacky ideas in regards to kung-fu type training.
Some people just make up their own protocols, like stand in a horse stance, stand there for one hour.
ari shaffir
That's Nazi shit.
Put your hand over the flame for as long as you can.
joe rogan
It's also the same thing that happened to us this month.
Like, how much can you do?
ari shaffir
It's crazy.
joe rogan
It was crazy.
ari shaffir
How much can you really do?
It didn't make any sense.
tom segura
Ari.
bert kreischer
Ari, you're doing it.
tom segura
You fucking psycho.
joe rogan
You fucked it up.
tom segura
Why?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
unidentified
Just go to the bathroom.
bert kreischer
We'll all go to the bathroom together.
joe rogan
Go to the bathroom.
ari shaffir
I'm doing that.
joe rogan
He's going to pee in the bottle.
tom segura
No, no, no, go to the bathroom.
bert kreischer
I'm going to go to the bathroom while he's going to the bathroom.
ari shaffir
But he pees in the bottle like every episode.
joe rogan
What are you doing?
tom segura
Why are you doing this?
ari shaffir
Because I don't want to go again.
tom segura
Come on, let's go.
ari shaffir
It's already over.
tom segura
Let's go to the bathroom.
unidentified
Come on.
ari shaffir
It's over.
tom segura
Let's go.
unidentified
Stop it.
ari shaffir
Tom, it's over.
Tom, it's over.
Don't even think about it.
Don't even think about it.
joe rogan
I've seen it for years.
Tom.
ari shaffir
Why do they even think about it?
unidentified
You're letting it get to you.
ari shaffir
Joe.
joe rogan
Ari.
ari shaffir
That was a great month.
I couldn't believe I did any of that.
joe rogan
It was a lot of fun.
I couldn't believe you did, but I... I wasn't completely surprised.
ari shaffir
Really?
joe rogan
Yeah.
I was happy.
I was happy.
I was happy that you showed me...
I always...
Like, we've been friends for a long time, and I've always said, like, Hari's just got this, like, very strong mind.
Like, you're not...
You know, you're not a guy who gives up on shit, and you're a guy who thinks through things.
We've had many comments about that.
ari shaffir
Through those last few days, I was like, I think if I can get, like, right after they go to sleep, a bunch of points, and then right before they wake up, another bunch of points, which was, like, beginning of my night, end of my night, I could break them mentally.
I could get, like, 700 above them.
Yeah, and then you wrote me right then, like, hey, man, you're pretty smart.
I'm like, yeah, I think I just got them.
Like, the 29th of October.
joe rogan
Yeah, you got deep.
You got pretty deep.
And you went...
I mean, there was one day that you ran 15 miles.
And I posted that on my Instagram.
I was like, do you understand that Ari didn't work out for 10 years?
He ran 15 miles.
And then he rode 5 kilometers.
ari shaffir
Yeah.
joe rogan
Yeah.
ari shaffir
5,000 meters, 5 kilometers of rowing, and then biked for like...
joe rogan
Yes.
bert kreischer
15 miles is ridiculous.
joe rogan
I put that shit on my Instagram.
ari shaffir
I was dead after that.
I was dead.
Only out of spite.
That's the only thing that can drive me.
It's just pure spite.
joe rogan
And what was the spite?
What was the motivation?
ari shaffir
I hated all of you for dragging me into it.
I already decided...
joe rogan
I didn't drag you into this!
bert kreischer
Joe, you definitely dragged him into this.
joe rogan
I didn't drag anybody into this.
ari shaffir
You all dragged me into this.
I had no intention of doing it.
My life is fine.
joe rogan
My life is fine too, man.
bert kreischer
My life's good.
joe rogan
Everybody's life is fine.
ari shaffir
First of all, every one of these challenges has just been a shit Joe Rogan's already doing.
Hey, why don't I make the contest?
joe rogan
Bring this one up.
ari shaffir
What Joe Rogan's already doing?
bert kreischer
That's why surfing is going to be fun.
Let's all do that!
That's why surfing is going to be amazing for us.
joe rogan
Surfing is going to be the shit, dude.
bert kreischer
We're going to all end up on Pipeline in the lineup.
joe rogan
This is it.
This is us.
jamie vernon
Time.
bert kreischer
Oh wait, there's already an app.
jamie vernon
There's a tracker and everything for you.
Oh, we're good.
bert kreischer
Shut the fuck up.
We're good.
Tracer.
joe rogan
Time surfing.
ari shaffir
Guys, I live in New York.
joe rogan
Did he get locked out?
bert kreischer
Ari, Ari, Ari.
jamie vernon
How's it locked?
joe rogan
Is it locked?
bert kreischer
I think I might have locked.
unidentified
Oh, that's why he's out there?
bert kreischer
No, but I didn't know that that thing locked it.
ari shaffir
Oh, I saw him waiting there.
I thought he was just not coming in.
joe rogan
Bert locks every door right before he goes through it.
Lock it for Boogeyman!
ari shaffir
I thought he just wasn't coming in, dude.
When you were smiling, I thought he just wasn't coming in.
I had no idea you were locked out.
I thought you were intentionally not coming in.
I didn't know why.
I was like, I don't get it, Tom.
tom segura
I was like, how is that not a bit?
That wasn't a bit?
I thought that was definitely a bit.
bert kreischer
Oh, I locked it walking out, but I didn't shut it.
joe rogan
I was saying, Bert's like, every door he goes through, lock it quick, what if the boogeyman comes through?
bert kreischer
That's not what I sound like.
tom segura
What does that feel like to have, actually, that actually means you're very distinct.
Everybody can do an impression, basically.
bert kreischer
I don't know if that's distinct.
tom segura
Yes, of course.
bert kreischer
The first person I ever heard do it was Red Band.
It really caught me off guard when he was like, me, me, me, me, me, me.
Yeah, I don't know.
tom segura
Really?
bert kreischer
I can do an impression of you.
You can definitely do an impression of Ari.
unidentified
Do it.
joe rogan
What does your shirt say?
bert kreischer
Lost Colt.
ari shaffir
I love Colt.
Colt Cabana.
Wrestler.
joe rogan
Oh, okay.
tom segura
Really?
joe rogan
I thought it was some Jewish thing.
I saw Star of David.
ari shaffir
Oh, yeah.
He's Jewish.
bert kreischer
Colt's Jewish.
joe rogan
Oh, okay.
bert kreischer
One of the first podcasters.
Colt Cabana.
joe rogan
Really?
bert kreischer
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
joe rogan
Who was the first ever?
bert kreischer
Ricky Gervais.
I thought it was Carolla.
Ricky Gervais.
tom segura
Is the first at what?
bert kreischer
Ricky Gervais.
ari shaffir
Carolla got into the mainstream.
joe rogan
But what about the guy from Adam Curry?
bert kreischer
The God Podfather.
joe rogan
Was he the first?
unidentified
Keith and the girl was doing it for a while before everybody started.
joe rogan
Damn, we should probably establish who was first, right?
George Washington was the first president.
We're all professional comedians.
Most professional politicians would be able to tell you who the first fucking president was.
tom segura
No idea.
joe rogan
We're like...
Who's the first podcaster?
tom segura
We really don't know, right?
bert kreischer
Dude, I heard...
ari shaffir
There was internet radio.
There was internet radio and then it just became podcasting.
tom segura
Who was first between you and Maren?
unidentified
Maren.
joe rogan
Him, for sure.
unidentified
Maren.
For sure.
tom segura
I don't know.
unidentified
I don't know.
tom segura
I'm asking.
ari shaffir
Now you know.
Well, now you know.
Why don't you stop arguing?
joe rogan
Here's what I think.
I think...
unidentified
So crazy.
I kind of think that...
joe rogan
I think that Adam Curry was number one.
bert kreischer
Who's Adam Curry?
Adam Curry is an ex-VJ from MTV, and he is known as the Podfather, the guy that started podcasting.
unidentified
Ricky Gervais has the first recognizable model.
joe rogan
I don't know his relationship history, but I think he's a George Washington.
tom segura
Who is?
ari shaffir
Adam Curry.
joe rogan
I think he is.
tom segura
How early was Gervais?
bert kreischer
Gervais is number one, man.
unidentified
Really?
bert kreischer
The first big one where you were...
unidentified
No, no, no.
joe rogan
But no, first one.
bert kreischer
Yes.
joe rogan
Is he the first one?
Or is that Adam Curry?
bert kreischer
No, Adam Curry definitely is the first one.
jamie vernon
Ricky Gervais, according to Wikipedia, Ricky Gervais is always right.
ari shaffir
Which is always right.
unidentified
Which, by the way, lists your age at 53. We just put you at 73, bitch.
It's the always right thing that says 53. Fuck you, fake news.
joe rogan
We can't keep up with these trolls!
jamie vernon
2006, but in June 2005, Apple added podcasting to the iTunes.
ari shaffir
So that means he's already going.
bert kreischer
No, no, no.
Ricky Gervais had a BBC show.
joe rogan
So Ricky Gervais was number one?
jamie vernon
No, no, no.
His show was launched a year after.
joe rogan
Adam Curry's.
jamie vernon
After podcasting was added to iTunes.
ari shaffir
Whose was?
Because that means when it was added to iTunes, it was already going as a thing.
bert kreischer
You're talking about Adam right now.
joe rogan
Good point.
No, but Ari's point's valid.
It was already there, but it just wasn't on iTunes.
bert kreischer
No, it was not.
jamie vernon
It was not there.
tom segura
But wait, are you talking about different people?
bert kreischer
No, no, no, it was not there.
tom segura
You're talking about different people right now.
jamie vernon
It started in 2004. Whose was?
ari shaffir
Two years before.
jamie vernon
The company Libsyn, which...
tom segura
But wait.
bert kreischer
Yeah, but they had no way to release it.
tom segura
You're saying Apple was started, and then a year later...
ari shaffir
No, not Apple.
Apple started podcasts.
joe rogan
Can I ask you this?
Let's just Google this for a goof.
Who was the very first podcaster?
jamie vernon
That's what I started.
That's what I started.
ari shaffir
And that's where you failed at locating.
bert kreischer
Wait, let me just chime in a little bit.
joe rogan
How dare you.
ari shaffir
Let me chime in a little bit.
The only thing you didn't come up with, Jamie.
joe rogan
It's just information.
We don't have to be competitive.
jamie vernon
You guys started asking more questions as I was looking through this.
ari shaffir
This is an excellent excuse making you're making.
Before you get back to the doing, which you used to do, which is what we loved you for, you already got shit done.
We brought the old Jamie back.
It was new, Jamie.
He was sort of a celebrity.
jamie vernon
You were on the correct thread to start off and say it was internet radio, because I was going to say I was recording internet radio talk shows in 2005. You were?
ari shaffir
A lot of you were.
No, no, no.
bert kreischer
Let me jump in right now.
So there's a difference between, because MySpace was offering an app on a phone where you could do a podcast.
That's where the Monday morning podcast came up.
joe rogan
Can I stop all of you for a moment?
Jamie, if you had a guess, who do you think was number one?
But I mean, what did you think of it?
jamie vernon
Adam Curry gets the credit for it.
I believe Adam Curry.
unidentified
That's what the international podcast day says.
joe rogan
I think he invented the name podcast.
unidentified
Oh, good point.
jamie vernon
It's not credited to him in that Wikipedia article.
tom segura
He invented the name?
bert kreischer
Wait, can I ask Jamie something?
unidentified
It was him or that other guy that he does the podcast with?
joe rogan
There's another guy who's like a science tech guy.
jamie vernon
Some guy named Bob Doyle or...
ari shaffir
Bob Dole.
Bob Dole.
bert kreischer
But it should be noted that Bill Burr and Bobby Kelly definitely had podcasts way before this.
unidentified
Oh, really?
bert kreischer
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Where it gets tricky is podcasts were released on MySpace through a phone app.
ari shaffir
It was called Podcast?
Tom has a question.
bert kreischer
The first memory I've had of podcasting, yes.
tom segura
I want to ask Jamie something.
Jamie.
joe rogan
Jamie.
tom segura
You've been here for I don't know how many podcasts.
You're the best.
Everybody loves you.
What is...
Do you have a favorite podcast?
Seriously, because you've witnessed so many.
jamie vernon
Like that I've sat through?
tom segura
Sure, that you've sat through.
ari shaffir
Do you have a top three?
Something that comes to mind.
What's the top three?
jamie vernon
The one we did last year of this was pretty good.
That's probably for sure up there.
joe rogan
It's one of the best.
Post yoga, when we were coming down, we were smoking weed, getting drunk.
Come on.
tom segura
Yeah, that was fun.
What else?
jamie vernon
One of the first fight companions because that started a whole series of things.
tom segura
So that's memorable to you.
jamie vernon
For sure.
tom segura
Anything else?
jamie vernon
An individual podcast.
No.
tom segura
How about a guest that really, like, you go, like, holy shit.
jamie vernon
Like, Kid Cudi and Maynard were probably my top two favorite.
ari shaffir
Wow.
unidentified
Maynard's...
jamie vernon
Maynard James Keenan from Tool.
ari shaffir
Okay, great.
tom segura
I had to ask.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry!
joe rogan
Listen.
ari shaffir
You got it, man.
joe rogan
What these few years have done is enhanced our friendship.
tom segura
Yeah, I love this guy, too, by the way.
ari shaffir
It's a great way to fucking do some work and get, like, closer to your friends.
tom segura
Of course.
Jamie's the best, though.
joe rogan
Listen, we got fucking close to each other this month.
ari shaffir
I think he should be fired, but let's talk back about what we were saying.
tom segura
Especially with you two.
I really like you two.
I feel like I really click with you guys the most.
unidentified
I'm gonna fucking kick you.
joe rogan
That's what I'm saying.
It's like I want Bird to catch up.
bert kreischer
You fucking assholes.
ari shaffir
Anyway, so when Tommy went down with the injury, when Tommy was like, hey, I think I'm injured, me and Bert were like, what is this?
jamie vernon
Play this.
Dude, watch this.
tom segura
Please watch this.
unidentified
This is hilarious.
joe rogan
Play this.
Follow me, please.
unidentified
Here, Nashville, Tennessee, right here in the place where we got inducted to the Hall of Fame.
ari shaffir
Great room right here in the Country Music Hall of Fame.
unidentified
Announced the world tour today, the stadium tour.
bert kreischer
This is going to be fun.
tom segura
I wanted to call it the big-ass stadium tour.
unidentified
It's a stadium tour.
bert kreischer
Above is all the information on it.
unidentified
But what we're talking about today is we're going to introduce five cities before Christmas to go on sale.
Because on Inside Studio G, you guys ask for a longer planning date so you can plan to be as many as you can.
What are you showing me, Jamie?
tom segura
Here it comes.
bert kreischer
First two cities.
tom segura
St. Louis is where we're kicking it off of.
unidentified
Just watch it.
tom segura
He's so weird.
Phoenix.
unidentified
Wow.
bert kreischer
Specifically Glendale, Arizona.
tom segura
Hold on.
bert kreischer
Where the Cardinals play.
joe rogan
This is about to get great.
Stadium as well.
unidentified
So those are the first two.
bert kreischer
The other three will be announced here shortly.
unidentified
And again, they'll all be on sale before Christmas.
tom segura
And remember, this is all about game day.
unidentified
Every show is going to be game day or Garth day, however you want to look at it.
Come dress in your full color, support your team.
Let's go have some fun.
tom segura
And let's get physical playing music.
I like that thought.
He's so weird.
Here's the thing.
Here's the thing.
joe rogan
Get that off the screen, Jamie.
unidentified
You've got to prepare me for shit.
ari shaffir
Here's the thing.
tom segura
By the way, we've got to say this.
Garth is an amazing performer.
ari shaffir
Why would you say that?
unidentified
I thought you said it before.
joe rogan
Let him set it up.
tom segura
He's so many people's favorite.
He's a top-selling actor.
He sells more tickets than Beyonce.
That dude is amazing.
Other level.
They sold out Notre Dame Stadium in under a fucking hour.
Just unbelievable.
It's out of control.
He's been so famous for so long that I think he really thinks, what are normal people like?
You know, if you said, like, how much is a bottle of whiskey?
He'd be like, I don't know, ten grand?
unidentified
A million dollars!
tom segura
He doesn't fucking have any idea, and his social media is really awkward, and it's the best thing in the world right now.
It really is great.
bert kreischer
It really is amazing.
tom segura
From the announcement, that Facebook one that you know was, you saw that one.
He's like, well, I guess it's official.
bert kreischer
Christina just posted this video, I'm obsessed with Garth Brooks.
And it's so fucking amazing.
tom segura
It's amazing.
bert kreischer
It's one of the best videos I've ever seen that I watched over and over and over again.
joe rogan
Did you see what your wife posted earlier with the lady getting hit in the head with the fish?
tom segura
Oh my god, what was that?
bert kreischer
Oh, this is one push post.
tom segura
Oh, this is hashtag.
bert kreischer
It's on.
unidentified
Hashtag ask Garth.
Ask me anything, okay?
Hashtag happy.
Hashtag Garth.
tom segura
Hashtag Mr. Yearwood.
unidentified
What?
tom segura
Hashtag you're it.
You're in.
bert kreischer
For what?
joe rogan
Stop this, Jamie.
tom segura
Listen to me.
joe rogan
You've got to stop this right now.
tom segura
He does that thing where he does this.
He's so famous.
His wife's famous, but she's not as famous as him.
ari shaffir
Trisha, your wife?
tom segura
Yes.
ari shaffir
Wait, what?
bert kreischer
Yes.
unidentified
What?
bert kreischer
Hashtag Mr. Yearwood.
tom segura
So that's why he goes Mr. Yearwood.
So he does that thing where he's like, I'm Mr. Yearwood.
I took my wife's lap.
Because I'm just like y'all.
bert kreischer
I wanted to take my wife's first name, too.
ari shaffir
He married Trisha Yearwood?
tom segura
Yeah.
unidentified
Wow.
tom segura
They've been married for a while.
bert kreischer
Where have you been?
ari shaffir
Okay, go ahead.
tom segura
Yeah, yeah.
ari shaffir
Great winners.
tom segura
He's just...
I think he's very sincere.
I believe it.
But there's something fucking weird going on there, and I think he's got a couple bodies in the trunk.
unidentified
Damn.
tom segura
I just don't...
I think there's something going on.
I think it's somebody...
You know how there's something about when you watch, or you remember back to Michael Jackson, and you're like...
That guy got weird, obviously.
But also, how incomprehensible is it to be as famous as he is?
Or was, Michael Jackson?
Garth Brooks, for me, the part that's a reach or whatever is that none of my friends are ever like, hey man, did you hear that new Garth Brooks track?
I don't have anyone in my life talking about him, so he seems almost like a foreign entity, right?
ari shaffir
But country fans.
joe rogan
Did you ever like any of his stuff?
bert kreischer
Yeah.
tom segura
I don't know any of it.
joe rogan
He's a great artist.
tom segura
I'm completely removed from it.
ari shaffir
You know some of this stuff.
But we don't listen to the country.
tom segura
It's an anthem.
joe rogan
Have you ever heard that song?
ari shaffir
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Sure, of course.
joe rogan
It's a fun song, man.
tom segura
Yeah, it's everybody's...
It's an anthem.
ari shaffir
I know that.
joe rogan
If you look at all-time fun drinking songs...
tom segura
That's one of them.
joe rogan
Damn, it's close to number one.
tom segura
Look, man, I had no idea.
joe rogan
If you're drunk enough to relax...
tom segura
Yeah.
joe rogan
And not worry about which fucking rednecks.
You're drunk enough to relax.
You have a couple tequilas in you.
tom segura
I can appreciate it, dude.
I own some Clint Black shit.
I have some Hank Williams stuff.
I'm not knocking it all together.
I'm just saying he's not somebody that I regularly, or that I even talk to someone who's like, I'm going to Garth Brooks this weekend.
Waylon Jennings.
Waylon Jennings.
His social media is that special.
It is remarkable.
It should be recognized.
bert kreischer
It's amazing.
tom segura
He's crazy.
It's amazing.
He has this show where whenever he's so famous that he'll just post, he'll be like, we're inside Studio G right now.
He calls it Studio G. Grace Brooks Studio?
bert kreischer
Yes.
I'm doing that with your podcast, please.
tom segura
Studio G. Studio J. I'm already doing Studio G. Studio JRE. Studio JRE. He does weird waves where he doesn't know how to end a video, so he'll just be like, come see me at this stadium this weekend.
bert kreischer
He'll just wave.
tom segura
It's hilarious.
It's the best thing I've ever seen.
bert kreischer
It is pretty fucking amazing.
I'm obsessed with it now, and I found it through him in Push.
tom segura
Yeah, it's great.
And I don't know if he's cut a video yet, but you know Vic Berger, the editor?
Yeah, I do.
bert kreischer
I don't know how.
tom segura
He just pulls the best content and edits it amazingly.
And he put up a bunch of Garth's Instagram stuff.
It's great.
Or just go to Garth Brooks.
unidentified
Go straight to the source.
ari shaffir
Just make your own decisions.
bert kreischer
We should do a stadium tour where we just get comfortable.
unidentified
Yeah.
bert kreischer
Is that what he says?
Get physical!
ari shaffir
Get physical with the music!
Let's get physical out there.
tom segura
While we're making music.
unidentified
I like that.
What?
tom segura
Let's get physical while we're doing comedy.
unidentified
I like that.
joe rogan
You like comedy?
You like comedy physical!
tom segura
Because here's the thing, he was like, we're going to do this in stadiums, where normally you see football teams, so wear your favorite football team's uniform, and then let's get physical while we're making music.
joe rogan
You know what is weird about comedy?
tom segura
You know, like my dad would say?
Yeah, go ahead.
joe rogan
Sorry, there's a weird thing that happened for a little while, where if you were too theatrical, comics would get upset at you.
ari shaffir
Like, what are you doing?
joe rogan
Yeah.
If you moved around too much, you got physical, you acted things out, people would literally shun you.
unidentified
There's a few people that thought you should just stand there.
ari shaffir
Yeah, that was a style for a while, right?
bert kreischer
I remember hearing someone talk.
I want to say it was in the movie Comedian, Jerry Seinfeld, going, if I have a bit, I'll act it out because if it gets a bigger laugh, then that's the purpose.
And I remember feeling vindicated because I was super physical when I started.
joe rogan
Man, it's a weird thing.
tom segura
It's weird.
joe rogan
Why would anybody...
tom segura
I also embraced looking more like shit than I do, naturally.
So I would be like, if this shirt has a hole in it, wear it to do a set.
ari shaffir
Wow, really?
tom segura
Yeah, for a while.
For a while.
I was like, oh, you should look...
For some reason, I don't know why I bought into that.
I was like, you should just look like...
joe rogan
What is that saying?
What are you trying to do to me, man?
jamie vernon
Your mom's house fans are taking over his comments.
joe rogan
You son of a bitch!
You goddamn tanked!
bert kreischer
Wait, why do you wear what you wear on stage?
joe rogan
I wear things that are loose.
bert kreischer
I'm curious because you dress specifically, which as a guy who wears no shirt and people go, oh, there must be no thought in that.
Wait.
No, there's totally thought.
Yeah, I don't wear a shirt.
Wait a minute.
tom segura
I've actually took me a second to recognize it.
bert kreischer
Yeah, yeah, I'm the guy.
ari shaffir
I thought that was Adam Hunter.
That's you the whole time.
joe rogan
There's another guy that's doing that, though, right?
bert kreischer
There's a lot of other guys right now.
joe rogan
How many guys?
tom segura
Bert, you're an official influencer.
bert kreischer
I'm serious.
joe rogan
Goddamn Chippendales comedy.
tom segura
I'm not joking.
unidentified
I'm not joking.
joe rogan
How about the Stars Network sponsors the Chippendales Comedy Network?
tom segura
Oh, shit.
ari shaffir
The offer's rolling in.
bert kreischer
Every week, posting, naked.
Do you put thought into what you wear, though?
joe rogan
Yes, I wear things that are loose.
bert kreischer
Your wrists are never buttoned.
joe rogan
Yeah, I want loose.
I want all the muscles to be covered, everything to be non-form-fitting.
bert kreischer
That's like the opposite of me.
joe rogan
If I wear anything that's form-fitting, I get uncomfortable.
tom segura
Wait, generally or just for a taping?
bert kreischer
On stage.
ari shaffir
Otherwise, do you feel fine wearing form-fitting?
joe rogan
Yeah, people go, oh, your shirts are always...
Somebody needs to fucking find your shirts that fit.
Like, I can't wear shirts that fit.
tom segura
You can't even find them.
You're like, I've tried.
They're like, Joe Rogan's tried, but he can't find his shirt.
No, I get that.
I know, I understand that.
I'm saying from their perspective.
But I get it because there's also, have you ever done where you go, I'm going to get a bunch of clothes right now, and you put on something that feels cool, but then you look in the mirror and you're like, this is too cool.
joe rogan
You're like, I can't wear this.
tom segura
It's way too cool for the stage.
You've got to wear something that makes you feel Cool enough and relaxed.
That's the main thing.
Comfortable.
unidentified
Loose.
ari shaffir
You can dress cool like a wedding or something.
What's that?
You can dress cool among your friends.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah.
ari shaffir
Or it's like, I'm dressing cool today.
tom segura
But if you're like, if you put it on and you're like, oh, I look like I'm trying to be Jason Statham right now.
joe rogan
You guys need to fuck with these rubber jeans, man.
tom segura
You know what I mean?
Jason Statham.
You feel like you're like, you look in the mirror.
unidentified
That's who Tom thinks he is.
tom segura
No, that's who you think you are.
unidentified
I'm going to look right now.
joe rogan
Oh my god.
Oh my god.
ari shaffir
What the fuck was that?
unidentified
I don't know!
joe rogan
It's him!
tom segura
That's his voice.
bert kreischer
It is a fucking joy.
Oh, I love this.
I'm so glad we do this.
joe rogan
Oh my god.
This is so much better than being on an elliptical machine for five and a half hours.
tom segura
Fuck that, dude.
bert kreischer
Oh, it's worth it, though.
joe rogan
But not fuck that.
Just fuck that most of the time.
tom segura
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
joe rogan
Listen, fuck that most of the time.
ari shaffir
All the time.
bert kreischer
It was never good.
unidentified
Next year, I have to wake up and go, fuck these idiots and bring pressure.
bert kreischer
Quit!
joe rogan
You know what?
bert kreischer
Next year we're surfing.
joe rogan
No one surfs.
No one can practice until next year.
tom segura
I'm not practicing.
Next year we're surfing.
I promise I'm not practicing.
bert kreischer
Can we get coaches?
joe rogan
No, no, no, no, no.
bert kreischer
I want Sonny Garcia.
I want Brad Gerlach.
joe rogan
You can do whatever you want.
tom segura
How do you know all these surfers' names?
bert kreischer
I grew up wanting to surf so bad.
joe rogan
Here's the deal.
You can do whatever you want once October gets started.
If you want to hire a coach, 100%.
If you want to hire a trainer...
tom segura
Kelly, I grew up close to Sebastian Inlet.
I know exactly where that is, dog.
bert kreischer
I know that you loved it.
I like you.
I never liked your brother.
tom segura
Sebastian Linlet.
What's up?
772. Let's do this, dog.
bert kreischer
Cocoa Thieves, Kelly, to Daytona by the pier.
joe rogan
You don't want to ask Shane Dorian or Kelly Slater to teach you surfing because they don't have the time.
tom segura
No, they definitely don't have the time.
joe rogan
There's probably a ton of real surfing instructors that can teach you.
Bitch, you ain't going to be a world champion.
unidentified
Kelly Slater has no time for this pool.
joe rogan
He would be like, what the fuck are you?
You fat fucking asshole!
unidentified
How great would it be if Kelly...
I teach you to fake surf for a month, but you gotta quit for sure.
joe rogan
Yo, Kelly, you gotta hook me up.
unidentified
How great would it be if Kelly Slater sat down with you and was like, and I'd like to try stand-up.
bert kreischer
Can you help me write jokes?
They're like, oh, no, it's my bro.
unidentified
You'd be like, dude, just stop.
joe rogan
It's starting to work out.
tom segura
Let's not do that.
bert kreischer
Oh, I wouldn't need another drink.
This is the best buzz.
tom segura
I remember one time, remember we went to Hawaii?
Yeah.
I gave you dits!
bert kreischer
I gave you dits!
tom segura
That's true, you did.
bert kreischer
Did you ever see that video, Joe?
ari shaffir
Yeah, I saw that video.
bert kreischer
Best video in the universe.
I'll just tell you it's better if you don't see it.
joe rogan
Okay.
bert kreischer
Tommy shaves my back and then he goes, should I shave my back?
And I go, yeah.
joe rogan
Oh, I've seen that video.
tom segura
Yes, of course.
joe rogan
I checked off to it three times.
You guys were in Hawaii.
unidentified
That's right.
bert kreischer
And I hollowed out his tits.
joe rogan
Beautiful job.
bert kreischer
Oh, dude, that makes me laugh to this day.
unidentified
Good times.
tom segura
Good video, man.
bert kreischer
So, world tour and stadiums.
joe rogan
Stadiums.
tom segura
Maybe arenas is a good start.
joe rogan
Let's not go to places where we're going to get arrested for ridiculous shit.
tom segura
Where would you go, seriously, if I said, hey, if we start in March, do you want to start doing some half-hour stadium sets?
Or arena sets.
Let's say arenas.
joe rogan
Yeah, let's figure out where we're going to go.
Let's get together and sort this fucking thing out, boys.
tom segura
I would do something.

Of course, that's on the list.
joe rogan
Let's have some goddamn fun.
bert kreischer
Madison Square Garden.

joe rogan
No.

Fuck yeah.
Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe.
ari shaffir
Yeah, all of us.

ari shaffir
Who said that?
unidentified
Here?
bert kreischer
In this room?
ari shaffir
No, no, no.
unidentified
No.
bert kreischer
I was like, wait, what the fuck?
joe rogan
Who said that to you?
tom segura
I mean, it's not good.
I can't say it.
I'll tell you off, Mike.
bert kreischer
Just whisper it.
Mouth it to us and we won't say it.
joe rogan
Can you say this?
unidentified
Can you say Candyman, Candyman, Candyman?
tom segura
No way!
ari shaffir
We'll pass it.
joe rogan
Not even a chance.
bert kreischer
Hey, write it down and we'll write it down.
unidentified
Not even a chance.
ari shaffir
We'll just pass it underneath.
bert kreischer
Let's do this.
tom segura
You don't know how paranoid I am.
Of course that's not going to happen.
bert kreischer
Why?
unidentified
Let's all write it down.
tom segura
I'm not going to write it down.
joe rogan
Hey, Tom, good for you keeping it together fucked up and drunk.
ari shaffir
Fuck you, Joe.
bert kreischer
Bro, bro, bro.
ari shaffir
Ask me a secret.
We can better talk about it.
tom segura
Oh, should we have reservations?
joe rogan
Right now?
unidentified
Whisper ear.
Whisper ear!
tom segura
I'm not doing it.
I'm not doing it.
joe rogan
I'm telling you bitches right now.
I take all my secrets to Tommy first.
From now on.
bert kreischer
Hardcore.
joe rogan
He's holding on to them.
You bitches are loose lips.
bert kreischer
I'm never loose lips.
ari shaffir
Just because I try to crack his vault doesn't mean I have a vault.
joe rogan
We're both too drunk.
unidentified
No, Bert's the worst.
tom segura
Do not tell him.
ari shaffir
Bert's the worst.
tom segura
Do not tell him.
ari shaffir
No, you can't tell Bert.
tom segura
No, no, no, no, no, no.
bert kreischer
Fuck you guys.
I told you a secret.
tom segura
Seriously, I'll go through fucking CIA shit and I will not tell you a secret.
I promise you.
joe rogan
I believe you.
tom segura
I promise you.
bert kreischer
For real.
joe rogan
I believe you.
tom segura
I promise you.
If you told me something was a secret.
bert kreischer
I've told you so many secrets, it's ridiculous.
tom segura
If you told me this is a fucking secret, people could break my fingers and I wouldn't tell them.
I promise you.
unidentified
For real.
tom segura
I promise you.
bert kreischer
What about you?
joe rogan
I'm not saying shit.
bert kreischer
For real?
unidentified
No.
bert kreischer
I'll tell you a secret.
You won't take it anywhere?
joe rogan
I'm not saying shit.
ari shaffir
I'll tell you the actual order of who can keep a secret and who cannot.
unidentified
Tell us.
bert kreischer
Start with where.
Who's the bad?
tom segura
Who's the worst?
ari shaffir
Bert's the worst.
tom segura
Right.
ari shaffir
Bert, honestly, and this is not an insult.
You should tell Burt Secrets if you want it to get out, but you don't want it to come from you.
tom segura
It's like a source.
It's a press source.
unidentified
It's like one of them CIA leaks in Serbia.
tom segura
That's right.
Deep throats right here beside us.
bert kreischer
I call my special secret time.
joe rogan
Some dude in Antarctica and shit.
Burt gets a fucking secret briefcase full of bullshit.
tom segura
I'm curious, what's next?
unidentified
I can't believe this!
Yeah!
joe rogan
He puts it on his blog.
ari shaffir
Yeah, he puts it on his blog.
Joe Rogan is next on that list.
bert kreischer
I agree.
ari shaffir
He can keep a secret sometimes.
Sometimes he cannot.
joe rogan
Depends.
I have to file it into significance or incident evidence.
ari shaffir
It's possible, though, if you don't make it very clear that it's like, fucking goddammit.
joe rogan
But...
I'm always looking out for your best interests.
ari shaffir
That is true.
unidentified
He will always defend your friend.
bert kreischer
Yeah, I agree with that.
ari shaffir
Till this point, I always thought then, I was the most vaulted.
But the way you talk makes me think that you might also have my understanding of when someone shares something with you.
That just dies with you.
tom segura
If you tell me that that dies with me, I will never betray you.
ari shaffir
I'll let it out once it's all out to everybody and be like, oh, just so you know, I knew about that 12 years ago.
tom segura
Yeah, but there's also different levels of people telling you something.
And there's stuff where you make the judgment, you're like, this is some bullshit.
And then there's stuff where you're like, this is a little more serious.
And then there's stuff where somebody tells you something and it's actually something that could affect their life.
And there's a 0% chance I would ever say something that you told me.
ari shaffir
Use your head.
Don't say that.
tom segura
If you ever told me something severe, I promise you would never have to worry about me saying anything to anybody.
ari shaffir
Let me step in for one second.
tom segura
What's that?
ari shaffir
Like, I've judged off a couple kids.
tom segura
It's fine.
ari shaffir
Don't say this.
joe rogan
Okay, cool.
ari shaffir
Can we talk about this?
joe rogan
But one reality is that sometimes one of your friends will say something that's disturbing, and you're not sure if you have talked to somebody about it.
ari shaffir
Oh, like, I think about killing myself, or like, yeah.
joe rogan
Yeah, okay.
tom segura
When you and I... But I'm not thinking, I'm not saying this in terms of that.
joe rogan
When Ari and I had these kind of conversations, and I didn't know...
ari shaffir
Then you're like, do I talk to people about this?
joe rogan
And I didn't understand how to deal with that.
I didn't know anybody who had gone to that place.
tom segura
Yeah.
joe rogan
To the, I'm close to killing myself place.
I've known people that have killed themselves, but I never knew anybody who confided in me that they were thinking of killing themselves.
tom segura
Yeah, I've never had that either.
joe rogan
No one as close as you and I were.
You and I had spent so much fun time together, so much traveling on the road together, so many gigs.
We had a lot of fun.
So, I didn't understand.
I was like, you're a really hilarious comedian.
You're a professional comedian.
You're doing what we all want to do.
Everything is happening.
And then you're depressed.
I'm like, there's a situation going on.
I don't know what the fuck it is, but it doesn't make any sense to me.
I've never had anybody confide in me like that.
ari shaffir
That's a different kind of confide.
That's when you're like, let me make the best what I think is a decision.
Instead of just going like, I want to share this.
tom segura
Yeah, of course it's better.
ari shaffir
No, that's different.
You're fine on that.
joe rogan
You opened up about some shit that I was like, okay, I can't be responsible for this just based on my own personal judgment because I don't understand this that well.
And I was like, I've got to figure out what to do.
And then I reached out to friends who told me about psychiatrists and then we got together.
ari shaffir
Yeah, you're fine on that.
That's making a decision to like...
tom segura
Oh, that's a good time.
ari shaffir
Share information.
Yeah, exactly.
You're like, hold on, let me think about this now.
tom segura
I'm not talking about that.
I'm talking about...
ari shaffir
A secret.
tom segura
Yeah, man.
ari shaffir
My thing is, if you're going to make me find out for myself, I'm going to tell fucking everybody.
unidentified
Right.
ari shaffir
But if you tell me...
tom segura
If I tell you, you're going to respect it.
ari shaffir
I will absolutely respect it.
I think you and I are on the same level with that.
unidentified
Yes.
ari shaffir
Where it's not a question of what the line is.
It's just no.
tom segura
Yeah, exactly.
Especially if I were to tell you this is a no, you would never fuck me up on that.
ari shaffir
Wouldn't even be a question.
tom segura
Of course.
ari shaffir
Wouldn't come out.
bert kreischer
Unless someone brings it up in conversation and you're like, oh yeah, of course this happened.
joe rogan
Yeah, but if you tell me no...
ari shaffir
I'll bury it so much I don't even think about it.
tom segura
Burt would sell you out.
bert kreischer
I'm so bad at secrets.
joe rogan
I would not sell you out.
I would not sell you out.
bert kreischer
I would never sell someone out, but I would definitely...
joe rogan
I will make some judgment calls on nonsense.
tom segura
That's true.
joe rogan
But if you tell me to not say anything, that's different.
ari shaffir
You just got to be clear with you.
tom segura
I appreciate that level of a friendship, too, where somebody goes, I will call you out on some bullshit.
I also will say this.
I think Bert, if you told him this is definitely a secret, he would definitely not sell you out.
joe rogan
I agree.
ari shaffir
I disagree.
I've had him.
I've said, don't tell us anyone.
And within the day, it's been out.
unidentified
One time.
joe rogan
One time.
Your fucking phone lines bug, son.
CIA, NSA.
One time?
bert kreischer
One time I gave up Ari's secret within 12 hours.
He told me a secret but I didn't understand it.
I understood that it was a secret but he didn't say it was a secret the way he wanted it to be a secret.
ari shaffir
This time we went hiking and I was like, hey, I have a secret hike.
Can I trust you to not share the hike with you that you won't share with anybody?
And you're like, yeah, whatever, man.
bert kreischer
I'm like, you don't know.
What did I say?
joe rogan
I don't trust you.
What the fuck did you just say?
A secret?
What?
Say it again?
bert kreischer
He had a secret.
I don't know what I said.
He said I had a secret.
unidentified
Who did you start telling?
ari shaffir
I shared secrets with you.
Immediately, you tell everyone.
bert kreischer
He told me a secret one time before last Sober October.
tom segura
That's true.
bert kreischer
And he goes, don't tell anyone.
And within 12 hours, I told the secret.
tom segura
Why did you tell it?
bert kreischer
I don't even know that I told it.
I don't remember that I did.
unidentified
Yeah, it's all right.
ari shaffir
You don't care about it.
bert kreischer
No, that's not important to me.
It's not a real secret.
It's not a real secret.
ari shaffir
You told me a secret the other day.
I'm not going to say who by.
I have more honor than you.
bert kreischer
I've told you and Joe more secrets than anyone.
ari shaffir
Should you not be about to tell me this?
Because it seems like someone's secret.
You're like, I get what you're saying.
I'm going to say it anyway.
He did say that.
bert kreischer
He goes, maybe you should never tell anyone what you're about to say.
ari shaffir
I want to hear about it.
As a nosy Jew, I want to hear about it.
But just from your point of view, for a second, it seems like you're worried about telling this guy's secret.
joe rogan
You being able to say nosy Jew is such a beautiful thing.
ari shaffir
Because Because it lets everyone else say it?
We're nosy, bro.
joe rogan
Not really.
No one else in this room can say it.
ari shaffir
We're nosy people.
unidentified
But you can say it.
joe rogan
But you have a free path.
ari shaffir
A free pass.
joe rogan
To nosy Jew.
ari shaffir
Yeah, yeah.
Nosy and Jew.
unidentified
I can barely say it in reference.
ari shaffir
My nosy Jew friend already.
joe rogan
Me saying it, me saying you saying it can get me in trouble.
unidentified
It's not quite the N word, but it is the J word.
You know?
joe rogan
It's like blue in the My Zones points.
unidentified
The N word is straight red.
tom segura
That's red.
joe rogan
What's chink?
Yellow.
tom segura
That's my favorite.
joe rogan
Yellow.
tom segura
My favorite N-word.
joe rogan
You understand what the fuck I just said?
bert kreischer
Yellow.
tom segura
It's a joke.
joe rogan
We're gonna be okay, folks.
bert kreischer
It's gonna be Madison Square Garden, May 12th.
tom segura
My favorite n-word argument is when like the old guy, the old white guy goes like, well, why can they say it?
unidentified
That's an immediate green light that that guy's super racist that he's like, he's like, I don't get it.
tom segura
Give me an explanation.
ari shaffir
Why do you want it?
Just stop saying it.
tom segura
Why are you pretending you need that explained to you?
joe rogan
Do you know what's the most underlooked racist thing in this country?
It's Asians and Harvard.
tom segura
Just like this past year.
joe rogan
They literally make it more difficult for Asians to get into Harvard than anyone else.
There's so many of them getting in.
tom segura
What amazing super performers.
ari shaffir
It'd be all Asian.
bert kreischer
23%!
joe rogan
Is that kind of racist?
tom segura
It's kind of crazy.
joe rogan
Aren't they better?
tom segura
They're much better!
unidentified
They're much better!
ari shaffir
By the way, it is racist and you're crazy enough to let them in.
They're going to win.
They're going to win.
tom segura
Do you remember when you were growing up where in my high school the standards that Asian families put on their Asian children was through the roof.
And by the way, We had a top 10 thing.
It was 80 to 90% Asian.
joe rogan
I literally grew up from 15 to 21 around a ton of Korean people.
tom segura
Bert turned 53 last week.
joe rogan
Wow!
unidentified
He looks great for 53. I was around a ton of Asian people.
joe rogan
Their work ethic is insane.
bert kreischer
Next level, bro.
Problem solved is different.
We went to a Korean grade school.
And George and Isla would have a hard time doing homework with Leanne.
And one time, one of the Korean moms goes, why don't you just switch up?
That's what we do.
We never do homework with our children.
Because our children won't give us what they need, but they'll give a stranger what they need.
The Korean moms were switching up and doing homework with us.
The moms were.
tom segura
With different kids.
bert kreischer
Dude, Asians are next level.
Next level.
Do you see a somatologist thing?
tom segura
What?
ari shaffir
Hasan Minhaj?
bert kreischer
What the fuck did you just say?
tom segura
Wait, what did you just say?
Can you play that back?
bert kreischer
What did you just say?
joe rogan
Pull over, sir.
Might see driver's license.
tom segura
You guys see?
I'm on my stuff.
ari shaffir
I'm on my stuff.
joe rogan
Registration, proof of insurance.
tom segura
Hasan Minhaj.
joe rogan
What did you just say?
Does this man work with you?
Is he a friend of yours?
unidentified
Why don't you know how to say his name?
tom segura
He's great, by the way.
joe rogan
What kind of party are you coming from?
bert kreischer
Birthday party?
tom segura
He's a great comic.
ari shaffir
Hasan Minhaj.
tom segura
Yeah, he's so funny.
bert kreischer
I don't know if it's funny per se, but it's really good.
tom segura
I haven't seen it either.
bert kreischer
It's really good.
His first thing is about...
Whatever, dude.
I'm fucking hammered.
I'm not going to try to talk like this.
unidentified
You said, have you guys seen Hamar Lamaz?
bert kreischer
I'm already fucked up.
tom segura
Have you guys seen Assalamualaikum?
bert kreischer
I just want to go to surf.
I want to go to surf camp.
joe rogan
No, no surf camps.
Remember, we can't do any surfing until October 1st.
ari shaffir
Okay, let me ask you guys a question.
This is what Nikki said.
I went on her show after this.
joe rogan
Nikki Grazer?
ari shaffir
Yeah, she goes, what did you say?
It seems like these guys all decided that you're going to do something, and they called you, and you're like, what?
No.
Fuck all of you.
No.
What was the plan to go to Las Vegas?
joe rogan
Oh yeah.
tom segura
By the way, everything was set until your fucking ass got on the phone.
Everybody was in agreement.
joe rogan
Voice of reason.
Listen, I've been Ari's friend for a long time.
He straightens me out sometimes.
tom segura
Do you realize right now you'd be on a Gulfstream fucking G450 with bird pain in the bill?
joe rogan
I turned to Ari for advice.
ari shaffir
Guys, listen.
bert kreischer
What's our reward though?
ari shaffir
We should have a reward.
bert kreischer
I owe something.
I owe something.
joe rogan
I got a belt out of this motherfucker.
unidentified
You do get a belt.
ari shaffir
We're going to present you with that belt in the moment.
tom segura
Where's the belt?
ari shaffir
We're going to get that in the moment.
joe rogan
It's over there on the stack of weed.
ari shaffir
I would like to say.
bert kreischer
Stack of weed?
It's the Pulp Fiction box of weed.
joe rogan
Go to my Instagram for more details.
ari shaffir
Okay, actually, let's present the belt.
joe rogan
No, not the Pulp Fiction.
It's more like Creepshow.
ari shaffir
Let's present the belt.
joe rogan
Werewolf that lives under the stairs.
bert kreischer
Creepshow is the perfect analogy.
unidentified
That's it.
joe rogan
That's the goddamn crate.
That's the crate of Creepshow.
ari shaffir
Goddammit, I wanted this belt so bad.
unidentified
Ladies and gentlemen, be one of three people to present this belt.
joe rogan
Thank you very much.
unidentified
This was fucking crazy, by the way.
ari shaffir
The fact that we actually did this was nuts.
joe rogan
Nuts.
ari shaffir
And I would like to say, on behalf of me, one of the three non-winners, I won't say losers, of the Sober October Fitness Challenge, Joe Rogan, much like Jesus before him, Where there was nothing and then there was winning.
Joe Rogan, you have achieved.
Champion of Sober October Physical Challenge.
I, Ari Shaffir, present to you, Joe Rogan.
This belt saying, you are the champion of Sober October.
joe rogan
Thank you, Ari.
I just want to stay, for the record, I was most impressed by you, and that if you had been exercising as long as I, I probably would have died trying to defeat you.
ari shaffir
Great job, Joe Rogan.
joe rogan
Tom Segura.
tom segura
Yes, sir.
I was very impressed.
ari shaffir
Come on over.
Help me present the belt.
tom segura
Well, look, it's already on.
I'll just say this.
Joe, you showed us definitely what time it was.
It was all about second place.
And Ari, you definitely got that.
So congratulations to you, Ari.
But Joe, you're in better...
Here's a huge shocker.
You're in better shape than the three of us.
joe rogan
I think that had a factor that was certainly a part of it.
How much energy you could put out.
tom segura
We all put in though, man.
We all worked our ass off.
joe rogan
But it ultimately is about TRT. Is that tight enough?
ari shaffir
Or not even?
TRT? This is like an advertisement for TRT. At some point we're like, hey, it really does go to show you that steroids can help in athletic challenges.
This is why it's illegal.
joe rogan
They have chemicals now.
ari shaffir
You've had doctors tell you, get on it?
joe rogan
Oh, 100%.
Yeah, I've had several.
There's a certain point you cross over as a person where you go, how much time do I have left?
Do I have 40 years left?
Do I have 50 years?
tom segura
Wait, when did you first have that thought?
I mean, I know you can have it many times, but let's say when you took it seriously.
ari shaffir
30-something?
joe rogan
When I was in my 30s, I would see my body not responding as well.
And I was like, ooh, where's this going?
That was when I really started thinking about it.
tom segura
About hormones?
joe rogan
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because I started seeing, like, I was working out really hard.
And as a boxing fan, I always knew when a really good boxer got into their 30s, you had to keep an eye on them.
ari shaffir
They might sour instantly.
joe rogan
Yeah.
They might get knocked out all of a sudden and they couldn't take a punch anymore.
There was this guy named Doug DeWitt.
He was like this badass middleweight.
He just could take a punch like nobody else, man.
It was crazy.
Like this guy could just bang on the chin and people would be freaking out.
Like, how does this guy take punches like this?
And then one day he couldn't take them anymore.
It was a cumulative effect of all the punches landed, but it was also age.
Like, almost all of the great champions, they get into their 30s, and they just fall, like, they start to slide.
tom segura
Were you freaked out?
I mean, at the, or, I don't know, how much did you question hormone replacement or anything like that?
Like, did you freak out about the thought of it?
joe rogan
No, I didn't freak out about it.
I just wanted to see, like, what do smart people who study that think?
Like, what do they think?
tom segura
And they were all...
How was it?
joe rogan
They were all like, there's a bunch of things you can do.
Like, this is like...
And we talked about this when we were talking about...
If you've got a good doctor, they're not going to just put you on any kind of hormone replacement first.
The first thing they're going to do is exercise you.
They're going to check your blood.
They're going to check your vitamin levels.
They're going to ask you what you eat, how much do you sleep, how stressful is your life.
They're going to try to sort things out that way first.
That way your body is at a more optimum level.
And for a lot of people, that's all they need.
They just need more sleep.
Less sugar.
Less processed foods.
Do a little weight lifting.
Do some squats and dead lifts.
Things that boost your testosterone.
And maybe you're 34 but you're just tired after work.
And you can kick that shit back into gear.
Cut out the milkshakes and all the bullshit.
You could probably kick it into gear.
But then there's guys that are like 49, 50, 51, 57. And they're just fucking tired.
They're just tired.
And they go, here's your options.
You can keep being tired, or you can get your testosterone replaced, and you're not as tired anymore.
You feel like a person.
You feel like an actual person, not like a decaying person.
Because that's a lot of what makes you feel like a decaying person, is the body's lack of production of hormones.
And this is what's really important.
They think this is the case with a lot of people that have had head injuries.
They think this is a key factor in depression.
For people that have been in car accidents, people that have been beat up, people that have had a lot of head injuries, your body stops producing a lot of your hormones correctly because your pituitary gland gets damaged.
So for all those reasons, like, at a certain point in time, whether it's 50 or 60 or 70 or 80, you gotta, one, accept your mortality, and two, accept the idea that there are certain things that have been discovered scientifically that can enhance the time that you have left.
unidentified
Right.
joe rogan
So you either, you either, like...
Dive into them and listen to science and experiment, trying to figure out what works best for you or you don't.
It's up to you.
bert kreischer
This month was a real introspection into that.
Like watching, I literally was like, I was like, man...
I think my lifestyle, there's a lot of things I could fix before I added things, you know?
You know what I mean?
Like get off blood pressure medicine and drink less.
jamie vernon
That's huge, Bert.
joe rogan
All that stuff is huge.
A good ethical...
A really ethical doctor would go to that immediately.
That would be the first thing they would go to.
They would say, you gotta just fix that because, listen, you ran a fucking marathon, man.
unidentified
That's crazy.
joe rogan
Yeah, it's not like you're a loser.
You're a fucking guy with an iron will.
You figured out a way to run a marathon with very little training, you know?
And then you did, what was that stupid Spartan race thing?
I shouldn't say stupid.
Ridiculous.
bert kreischer
The Spartan race, yeah.
joe rogan
Running around throwing fucking sandbags and shit.
Like, what are you doing?
bert kreischer
Yeah.
joe rogan
Yeah.
Like, you do a lot of shit, man.
bert kreischer
I like those things.
I think I'm very goal-oriented.
Like, if I set a goal and I do go, oh, I got that coming up, I think it helps me.
I'm not the kind of person that you just kind of float in the water and not know what I'm doing.
joe rogan
I think it helps everybody.
We're just unnerved by the expectations of any kind of challenges that we subscribe to.
We just decide, okay, we're all going to agree.
The whole month of October, we're just going to go crazy and do cardio five hours a fucking day and try to kill each other.
Okay.
ari shaffir
You kept pushing against each other.
joe rogan
Okay.
bert kreischer
It was great.
ari shaffir
It was great.
If everyone just did 100 a day, I could have done 110 in one.
bert kreischer
Surfing.
Surfing is going to make us so much fun.
ari shaffir
Surfing would be really Did you discover anything through your sobriety?
joe rogan
No.
Here's what I discovered.
The sobriety thing is good.
It's good to clean out the pipes, but what's more important is understanding how different everything feels when you work out for four hours or whatever it was, the average day.
If you looked at the whole month, I probably worked out four hours every day.
I mean, I probably did.
There was a lot of five and a half hour days.
There was quite a few three hour sessions followed by three hour sessions at night.
ari shaffir
You did a lot of weights also, which didn't give you much points, but gave you like fucking tons of time.
joe rogan
Well, for me, it wasn't even that.
It was like, I just have to mix it up or I'll go crazy.
ari shaffir
Yeah, there were times at the end of a workout too where I'd be like, I don't care if it's not important.
I want to do fucking something else.
I want to do some weights.
joe rogan
It was a thing where I was in this weird high state, this weird post-long workout high state, and I just wanted to keep it going.
I just wanted to keep flowing and relaxing while I was lifting weights and doing kettlebell swings and shit.
I just wanted to do something else.
I wanted to do chin-ups.
I wanted to do something that was just moving my body, almost as if I was cooling it down after all that exercise.
It was bananas, man.
After it was over, I was like, what the fuck happened?
ari shaffir
What did we do?
joe rogan
It was like we got possessed by a wizard's spell, and all of a sudden we're trying...
ari shaffir
What did we do?
joe rogan
We hit 0.1% of all the people using this fucking thing.
ari shaffir
I went down to that fucking gym, and I was like, hey, I want to sign up for whatever.
He goes, well, here are our things.
I'm like, I'm just going to start working out right now, so...
Log me in however you need to.
I'm just going to start working out.
joe rogan
I've got to keep doing this for a while.
But do you know how nuts it is that four middle-aged comedians hit 0.1%?
ari shaffir
Three of them obese.
joe rogan
I'm obese according to all their ridiculous metrics.
ari shaffir
Well, that is nuts that we worked that hard.
joe rogan
We worked so hard!
bert kreischer
I can't believe it, man.
joe rogan
Dude, when I saw that thing of you running in the hills, saying that you were going to double me, that's all I needed.
ari shaffir
Oh, you fucking idiots.
joe rogan
I was like, this is the day of death.
bert kreischer
But don't you want to tug on the tiger's tail?
Do you want to tug on the dog's tail?
joe rogan
This is the day of death!
unidentified
I'm like, we're going to go down the dark road, Bert Kreischer.
ari shaffir
So there was a thing, there was a thing.
bert kreischer
When Tommy comes back, you've got to play the Nicky Glazer clip.
It's just...
I guarantee you it's on my Instagram.
joe rogan
It helped me to have you around.
ari shaffir
Yeah.
When Tom got 600, dude, so me and Bert, when he got sick, it was like, okay, cool, he's done.
We both separate ourselves from him by about 700. And then we're like...
Hey, we talked.
We were like, looks like Tom's out, pretty much.
We were like, looks like Tom's out.
It was like, yeah, that's cool, so we're not coming last.
Because that was a big fear.
And then you said, you're like, yeah, I'm still going to try to beat you, though.
I'm like, yeah, I mean, good luck, but you're not going to fucking do it.
And it was just like, oh, okay, we're still going to go on.
It's still going to go on with the fucking challenge.
bert kreischer
Dude, I have to pay more compliments than anything in this because Ari Shafir, you really changed my perspective of working out, like of going the way I go.
If I get in a spin class and they go, alright, stay out of the saddle and you're paddling, I go, Ari would be still out right now.
Like, that's the way your brain works.
It's different, man.
ari shaffir
It's a brain function.
I surprised you guys with yoga, too.
They're like, you guys do all the poses?
I'm like, yeah, I do all the poses.
I'm on fucking fat legs.
Get my fucking feet around each other.
bert kreischer
It's the way a person's brain works.
unidentified
I have fat legs.
joe rogan
Can't do that shit.
ari shaffir
Yeah, I just never do it normally.
joe rogan
I'll tell you, the reason why I knew- I thought you were dead last for sure.
tom segura
Did you really think you were?
unidentified
For sure!
ari shaffir
I was already thinking, let's cheat.
bert kreischer
Let's pay people to do workouts for me.
joe rogan
I knew two things were going on.
One, Tom had been exercising on a regular basis, and even though he might have carried a little bit of body fat, he's actually a fit, strong guy with a strong mind.
I also knew that Ari swept me one time.
That motherfucker.
I was on top of him.
I was a brown belt.
He's a white belt.
ari shaffir
Once in a while.
joe rogan
Had me on my motherfucking back.
tom segura
I was like, oh, bitch.
ari shaffir
I thought it was over.
I honestly was mad at you guys when you were like, we're going to Vegas.
First class on the thing.
I was almost going to be like, just to ruin it for you.
I'm like, okay, cool.
Just write a check.
Tell me where to write the check right now.
I'm not doing your fucking stupid thing.
joe rogan
Listen.
Ari tried to kill me with his bare hands.
He was trying to kill me.
He was trying to choke my neck.
ari shaffir
Can I just say?
joe rogan
I know, Ari.
ari shaffir
Now that we've done this, and to reward ourselves, I say, why don't we do something that would be fun?
bert kreischer
I love this idea already.
For all of us.
joe rogan
Surfing until someone dies.
ari shaffir
No, I mean as a reward, going to Vegas at a boxing fight would be fun.
tom segura
Yeah?
joe rogan
Okay.
ari shaffir
Watching any of you die surfing would be the most fun.
joe rogan
Okay.
ari shaffir
You have decreased the level of happiness I have with my life.
There's no doubt about it.
Any sort of metrics show you.
tom segura
How much happier would you be if it was Bert dying?
joe rogan
Increase the level of happiness.
You can't deny that you are very proud of yourself for your performance this month.
Because in my opinion, and I'm being 100% objective, your performance was the most impressive.
ari shaffir
It was surprising, for sure.
joe rogan
You didn't exercise at all.
ari shaffir
At all.
tom segura
I thought so, too.
joe rogan
I've never not exercised.
I've been exercising my whole life.
When I saw you, just all of a sudden...
ari shaffir
Thank you.
I appreciate that.
joe rogan
You did 479 points one day.
ari shaffir
Yeah, I did a bunch.
Tom showed me a 630 or something, and I was like, what the fuck?
And when he caught right up, and I was like, oh, fuck, I was ready to coast.
Because I had already given up.
I saw a marathon one time where a guy went the wrong way.
He was in the lead, or neck and neck with the guy, went the wrong way.
Everyone had to say, no, no, no, you're going the wrong way.
This is the last, like, 300 meters.
And then he's like, oh, fuck, maybe a mile, you know?
And he had to, like, come all the way back and then try to catch up.
But that wasted space that late, and he started sprinting, and he sprinted right back to that other guy, who was already in first place.
Because he fucking dug down deep.
I was ready to coast, and then when you started winning, I was like, oh no, I'm done.
And then I was like, yeah, I can do this.
unidentified
Wow.
ari shaffir
I'm pretty high, too.
Yeah.
Can I just say, though, instead of a boxing match, which I find boring, I'll be honest with you guys, I get it.
tom segura
What do you like?
ari shaffir
I get it why I understand where you come from.
tom segura
Okay, what do you like?
ari shaffir
Let's go see kickboxing.
Yes.
unidentified
Kickboxing.
ari shaffir
Let's go see kickboxing.
tom segura
Is that what you wanted to say?
ari shaffir
Yes.
tom segura
That's what you were leaning towards.
unidentified
Kickboxing.
joe rogan
Yeah.
bert kreischer
Kickboxing.
joe rogan
Let's go see some Muay Thai.
ari shaffir
We go to Chiang Mai, Thailand.
tom segura
Oh, you want to go to Thailand?
ari shaffir
Yes.
And we go see some kickboxing.
We can have cigars.
We can be in anonymity.
We can just be regular people.
joe rogan
Go to Chiang Mai.
ari shaffir
Go to a couple kickboxing fights.
Walk around in sandals for a few days and we're back in no time.
Leave on a Monday, we're back on a Friday.
joe rogan
What if I wear Uggs?
tom segura
Yeah, man, I wanna wear fucking boots.
joe rogan
I'm into Uggs, bro.
unidentified
I like this.
ari shaffir
We ate some Thai food.
We stayed out of Bangkok.
tom segura
How long we staying?
joe rogan
Motherfucker works for Thai Airlines.
ari shaffir
Leave and back in four or five days.
bert kreischer
Four days tops.
ari shaffir
I'm saying leave on a Monday, we're back on a Friday so you can go to your next...
You don't have to take off a gig if you don't want.
joe rogan
Interesting.
ari shaffir
Go see some fights, have cigars, some Chang beer...
bert kreischer
I like this idea a lot.
I really do like this idea.
ari shaffir
Get drunk, walk around the streets.
tom segura
Have a good time.
This is after surf week.
ari shaffir
This is way before surf week.
joe rogan
Surf month, you mean.
bert kreischer
We sound like rich kids planning out their summer.
joe rogan
It's going to be a fucking surf travel.
What is that called?
tom segura
Do you think you'll be good at it?
joe rogan
Surf ride?
bert kreischer
Surf safari?
tom segura
I don't know.
joe rogan
I really don't know.
I've never done it.
When I first started doing yoga, I was amazed at how shitty I was at it.
I was surprised.
tom segura
I didn't think I would be good at it, and I was worse at it than I thought.
ari shaffir
At what?
Surfing?
tom segura
No, yoga.
joe rogan
Yoga.
ari shaffir
Oh, yeah.
joe rogan
Yeah.
jamie vernon
Clip with Nikki.
joe rogan
What does it say?
unidentified
I'll take it.
joe rogan
We haven't totally determined what the loser has to do.
Ari wants us to drink each other's piss.
nikki glaser
He wants to drink your piss.
That's what Ari wants to do.
He's going to lose!
joe rogan
He might not lose.
Right now Tom Segura is in the bottom.
Tom Segura is at the bottom.
nikki glaser
I think Tom...
I mean, you're obviously set to win this thing, but I think Tom's going to sneak up.
He's playing it down.
You looked at his wrist yesterday, you go, what's a thousand something?
Oh, that's nothing.
Just the calories he burned that day, a thousand?
Tom's sneaky.
joe rogan
Yeah, a lot of people feel like that.
nikki glaser
I really think he's going to do something on this.
He's going to be the one to beat.
joe rogan
You gotta realize, though, Bert ran a marathon.
He did run a marathon.
ari shaffir
Yeah, he ran a marathon.
unidentified
This is fun, I have to say.
nikki glaser
Any one of you could pull ahead.
Can we talk about what you did yesterday?
joe rogan
Yeah, I worked out for three hours and 20 minutes.
I'm trying to double everyone.
Yeah.
I'm trying to break Bert's will.
That's what I'm really trying to do.
He talks all this Mickey Mantle Jean shit.
I'm like, motherfucker, I'm crazy.
unidentified
You don't understand?
joe rogan
I will work out twice a day like that.
I will try to give you a fucking heart attack, you fat fuck.
nikki glaser
You will, too.
You'll kill him.
unidentified
You could kill him.
joe rogan
I just don't know if he's gonna...
I don't know how long he's gonna keep it up.
Burt's very competitive up to a point.
Like with the weight loss challenge.
Tom stayed steady.
And Tom won in the end.
But Burt tried.
He tried to sprint towards the end.
But it was too little too late.
And Tom was talking shit the entire time.
Like, I know what you're gonna do.
You're gonna fuck off until the very end.
Then you're gonna try to catch up.
But it's gonna be too late.
And he was right.
nikki glaser
Yep.
Burt...
I don't know if Bert's will can be broken.
Has it been broken before?
ari shaffir
It never has been.
joe rogan
Well, it's not his will.
It's the discipline aspect.
See, when you're dealing with an entire month, you have 31 days of having to get after it.
So how often do you get after it normally?
See, that's the thing.
The difference between me and Bert is I work out almost every day already.
So for me, it's just like those days off don't exist anymore.
So what I've decided to do on my days off is just do shit that I wouldn't normally do.
So I'll do the elliptical machine for two hours, or I'll do something else.
I'll do something else.
But the whole time I'm thinking, I'm going to break Bert.
I'm gonna break Burt.
nikki glaser
You guys were talking about who you think about when you're really trying to get past that point where you're either you're kickboxing or even on an elliptical.
Sometimes you gotta get angry.
joe rogan
Yeah.
nikki glaser
And you think of Burt.
Right now you're thinking of Burt.
joe rogan
I'm thinking of Burt.
Breaking Burt.
Breaking his will.
unidentified
You guys are all addicts in different ways.
nikki glaser
And this is so interesting to watch because you're right.
You already work out a lot.
You're an extremely healthy guy, but you're now going to take it.
I can see the excitement on all of you to take this to just an excruciating level.
Because it gets obsessive and it gets fun.
But that's the thing.
I'm excited to talk to you at the beginning of this when you're still pumped up about it.
And it's like you get a high from working out for three and a half hours a day.
joe rogan
Seventeen days from now, I'm going to be a beaten man.
nikki glaser
Yeah, you are.
You're not going to get a surge at the end when it gets close again, but 17 days, you're right.
That's not going to be a fun day for you.
joe rogan
Yeah.
Well, I don't know.
Who knows?
You know, did you ever see there's a really interesting doll that's like Kung Fu?
Yeah, it's weird.
bert kreischer
How do you feel now?
tom segura
That's just hilarious, man.
joe rogan
Physically?
bert kreischer
Do you feel like you broke me?
joe rogan
No.
He didn't break you.
Did you feel like you did your best?
You did your best.
We talked a lot of crazy shit.
ari shaffir
Why did you talk shit, Bird?
bert kreischer
I like talking shit.
That's who Bird is.
Fuck that.
joe rogan
It's good for everybody.
tom segura
It's who Bird is, though.
bert kreischer
There are guys who like to talk shit, and there's guys that don't like to talk shit.
joe rogan
Listen, I don't feel bad that you talk shit.
I'm happy that you talk shit.
It was fun.
It was fun.
bert kreischer
It's scary.
You should talk shit to yourself.
joe rogan
I didn't, but I didn't think that it would go where it went in terms of how much time every day I was working out.
I never thought it would really get to that.
ari shaffir
It was crazy.
joe rogan
It was crazy.
I thought in the beginning we would all just have some fun, work out an hour a day, and it would be competitive.
ari shaffir
And see whose number was higher.
joe rogan
Yeah, it would be like real close.
bert kreischer
Oh, no, no, no, no.
joe rogan
And everybody, I figured, Tommy and I, we talked about it.
We're like, everybody, the last week's going to sprint.
tom segura
Yeah.
joe rogan
Right?
tom segura
Yeah, of course.
I thought that was definitely going to happen.
joe rogan
Bert, then you made that video and I was like, damn.
bert kreischer
Which video?
Which video?
unidentified
I don't know.
joe rogan
When you said you would double me, I was like, I'm going to take you.
bert kreischer
That was the one with me and my dog.
ari shaffir
No, there was another one before that.
unidentified
I talked to Rogan here and he was like, fucking Bert.
bert kreischer
Where do I put this belt?
ari shaffir
He's got to come in last.
joe rogan
I was like, oh.
bert kreischer
Wait, hold on, hold on.
You know for a fact that I made those videos out of love, right?
joe rogan
Oh, I understand.
But I didn't, listen, I believe that right now, but it doesn't help me to believe that back then.
ari shaffir
You don't understand?
Yeah, you gotta be angry.
joe rogan
If you say something like that, even if you don't mean it, you said it, and I don't have to get mad at you, but I have to at least acknowledge there's a transference of energy.
Right now.
I don't want to call it anger.
It makes me want to make sure that you don't ever fucking win this thing.
There's no way.
unidentified
We're going to go down the dark road, bro.
bert kreischer
Wait, hold on.
joe rogan
We're going down the dark road, bro.
tom segura
This is the difference.
ari shaffir
Let's not forget about that.
tom segura
This is the difference between high performers.
bert kreischer
Wait, hold on.
Did you all recognize this?
tom segura
I picked up on it pretty quickly.
joe rogan
Are you serious?
tom segura
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
ari shaffir
The Mickey Mantle gene.
Fuck that shit.
tom segura
I knew we were done pretty quickly.
ari shaffir
You knew what?
tom segura
I knew we were done pretty quickly.
ari shaffir
We were done.
tom segura
I knew that when he was saying...
Even though I 100% understood his joke, that he's like, whatever Joe does, I'm going to do double of.
ari shaffir
You fucked us.
You fucked us.
tom segura
I knew that he would interpret that in a competitive way.
ari shaffir
Like, he would use it.
unidentified
Are you serious right now?
ari shaffir
Hey, Joe, you should do your regular workout and see if you can still beat us.
I'm like, yeah, yeah.
bert kreischer
Hold on.
joe rogan
Not negative.
Not negative.
Not like I don't like you or you don't like me.
bert kreischer
I see what you're saying.
I see what you're saying.
joe rogan
If you really say, I'm going to double everything Joe does, I'm like, you're Joe's not going to let that happen.
bert kreischer
I realize that right now.
unidentified
I realize that right now.
joe rogan
Not only is it not going to happen, but you gave me...
I don't have to interpret it any further.
ari shaffir
You gave him the win.
joe rogan
You gave me a thought in my head that you're going to try to do that.
ari shaffir
His daughter is now calling the cable guy daddy because he's been gone so long working out.
joe rogan
I don't need...
ari shaffir
She has no memory of him because you had to say, I'm going to double you.
tom segura
Yeah, I knew that.
joe rogan
I don't need to know if you're being honest.
That's not necessary for me.
All I need to know...
I pushed that aside.
I need to know that you think that you are going to do that.
You think you're going to do that.
unidentified
Oh my god.
Oh my god.
tom segura
Even though you really know that he doesn't think he can do that.
unidentified
100%.
joe rogan
100%.
ari shaffir
But fuck him.
He can't allow it.
You can't allow it.
joe rogan
I'm not going to allow that.
I'm going to put some blinders on.
unidentified
You knew I wasn't meeting you.
ari shaffir
It doesn't matter.
joe rogan
You can't take a chance.
We're gonna go through the darkness.
ari shaffir
Can I just say this?
That we all use Bert as a motivation.
Like, I don't want him to beat me.
bert kreischer
Every single one of you use me.
ari shaffir
But let's not get lost in this.
tom segura
You gotta understand, I got...
Real, real serious anxiety.
ari shaffir
When you got sick?
tom segura
No.
When I realized I could recover.
When I realized I could recover.
If I got worse, I'd be like, I'm super sick.
But when I realized I was getting better, and I thought I might lose, I got real anxiety about it.
Yeah, I got super nervous.
ari shaffir
You went the same as me, just don't come in last.
tom segura
It's about losing to Bert.
ari shaffir
Second would be nice, but third would be terrible.
bert kreischer
What kills me is that, what?
joe rogan
You put a video out?
Was that what it was?
Or was it a Twitter post?
You fucking idiot.
unidentified
Early, it was like, where do I put the belt?
bert kreischer
Yeah, of course.
Guys, guys, guys.
I want to just be very, very clear.
Very clear.
I did not enter this contest to lose.
I didn't think I was coming in.
Shut the fuck up.
joe rogan
There it is.
ari shaffir
Oh, what a gross fake boutique.
Was that now or before?
I don't know.
bert kreischer
And we also have a fitness aspect.
That's right.
unidentified
I'm challenging those gentlemen in fitness, and I'm going to beat them at their own game.
bert kreischer
And it starts...
tom segura
You're a good host.
bert kreischer
We're getting a brand new Porsche.
Pete, what do we got here?
unidentified
We got a 1992 Porsche 911 RWB, hand-built by Nakai.
ari shaffir
Which one are you, Bert?
joe rogan
The guy who doesn't have any clothes on.
Flip-flops and shit.
bert kreischer
I'll take it.
joe rogan
Dude, you should take that car.
bert kreischer
You bought that Porsche?
Remember, watch my question.
That's so expensive.
unidentified
That's it?
tom segura
How much was it?
bert kreischer
Delia hit me up and was like, did you buy it, man?
Congrats.
joe rogan
Dude, that's a dope car.
bert kreischer
It's like $420,000, I think.
tom segura
$420,000?
joe rogan
Yeah.
bert kreischer
I did talk shit, though, bro.
Hey, hold on.
Hold on, for real.
ari shaffir
You talk too much shit, Bert.
bert kreischer
No, I won't stop ever, ever, ever in my life.
joe rogan
Of course not.
bert kreischer
I'm one guy, I'm one guy.
joe rogan
I don't want you to.
I want you to be yourself.
bert kreischer
Yeah.
It was fun, dude.
It was fun.
It was fun.
Let me tell you something.
ari shaffir
I think what we're missing, though, is that all of us went to try to make sure you don't beat them.
But you...
Lost.
bert kreischer
Yeah, but I lost on purpose.
joe rogan
What's that?
jamie vernon
Did Joey see you at the store that one day?
Did you hear about this?
When Joey was here on the podcast?
bert kreischer
Yeah, he called me.
jamie vernon
Was that you?
bert kreischer
No, no.
jamie vernon
Dog.
bert kreischer
No.
He called me and said, I did a video on Instagram stories.
I got recognized.
I didn't know the person.
They were like, Bert, and tried to tell me a story.
Joey saw it and then said that he caught me drinking in a parking lot.
But if you saw the stories, you'd know I wasn't drunk.
I was stone sober, but yeah.
He called me and told me.
tom segura
He's like, I see you drinking, dog.
bert kreischer
Let me tell you what I love about Joey Diaz.
He called and apologized.
I didn't notice it, but it got big online.
joe rogan
He said something on my podcast, but it was clearly joking.
He goes...
He's like, I don't know about Bert Kreischer.
He goes, I saw him walking on the street.
unidentified
I waved at him.
joe rogan
He didn't wave back.
tom segura
Oh, I heard that.
I heard that.
joe rogan
100% tongue-in-cheek.
bert kreischer
Yeah.
You call Joey now.
Trust me on my children.
I would never lie to you about any one thing I did.
Listen, the last day when I hit you up and I was like, I'm for real out?
tom segura
Yeah.
bert kreischer
I swear on my children.
Dude...
I don't lie to my friends.
joe rogan
I believe you?
No one thinks you lie.
ari shaffir
You believe me what?
You believe in what?
tom segura
I believed him, and there was still a part of my brain that was like...
ari shaffir
Make sure.
bert kreischer
I would never do that.
unidentified
It was a separate thought, though.
tom segura
It wasn't that I didn't think you were lying, but I still was like, my brain would not allow me...
Yeah.
bert kreischer
I know you did an extra workout.
You did an extra workout I watched.
I saw.
And I went, I can't believe you didn't believe me.
tom segura
I believed you.
I believed you.
I was just like, you can't be so stupid.
ari shaffir
To believe him fully.
tom segura
Kind of.
unidentified
Yeah.
tom segura
I was like, what if...
It wasn't that he was lying.
No, he sounded so sincere.
joe rogan
There were psychological games afoot.
tom segura
It was games, yeah.
unidentified
There was games afoot.
ari shaffir
I like when Joe was like, wait, Ari, are you just saving up your points and not registering into the system so you can sandbag it?
unidentified
Thank God!
Yes, idiot!
ari shaffir
Yes, you fucking idiot!
What did you think I was doing?
tom segura
Man, but I didn't know what to think.
When I spoke to you, I still believed you.
bert kreischer
Georgia called that morning.
There's two...
I would never...
You know what?
I will never make an excuse.
Georgia called that morning, and I just got out of spin class, and I was going for a 12-mile run.
ari shaffir
Oh, yeah.
bert kreischer
In my head, I was like, I'm set.
I'm putting clothes on.
Georgia texted and said, Daddy-daughter luncheon at...
or wherever she goes to school.
Georgia's telling...
Daddy daughter luncheon at like 11. And you need to be there at 9 to help set up.
And I was like, fuck.
And in my head, all I did was wantonly wanted Ari's life.
Where I didn't have any responsibility.
And I just was like, I was like, I texted everyone.
At that moment, I was like, I'm out.
I got softball practice and a luncheon.
And dude, in the middle of that luncheon, I was like, I could go for a run right now.
Like in my head.
Dude, this whole thing was psychotic.
unidentified
It was.
bert kreischer
It made me psychotic.
ari shaffir
Dude, honestly, I got to the point where I thought about your lives.
I was like, wait a minute.
I do have more fun at night, usually.
But daytime, I have no responsibility.
And this is a lot of effort for me to get to this place and do this time.
I don't know what you guys go through in order to feel, to take time away to do this.
bert kreischer
Your life is very different.
joe rogan
Well, your kids are at school.
ari shaffir
Kids are at school.
Okay, that makes sense.
joe rogan
Well, your kids are at school, you have this open amount of time from 7 a.m.
to 4 p.m.
or whatever it is after that if it's an unusual guest.
And I just schedule everything in there.
That's a lot of time, man.
ari shaffir
Yeah, but I have that time, too.
bert kreischer
This thing has been nice, Joe.
ari shaffir
Not 7 a.m., though.
joe rogan
That's 10 hours, man.
unidentified
That's a lot of time.
bert kreischer
Yeah, but you have a gym in your compound.
Dude, I was jealous.
ari shaffir
Joe has a gym in his Porsche.
unidentified
Yes.
joe rogan
I can get here and get an hour in before a podcast.
tom segura
No, you did it right, man.
joe rogan
But I never thought of it that...
I mean, I didn't build this thing so I could win a fitness challenge.
tom segura
It worked.
Let's be honest here, just to entertain this thought for a second.
How much of a piece of shit would you feel like if right now you were in second place?
How upset would you be?
joe rogan
I was worried about Ari.
tom segura
Were you really?
joe rogan
Were you really?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I was worried about him sneaking up on it.
When I saw...
tom segura
Yeah, because he's been like the 30th.
In the 30th.
joe rogan
When I said, no, the very last day, when he had a picture, he said, do you believe in miracles?
I'm like, this motherfucker's storing points.
unidentified
He's found a way to combine belts.
joe rogan
He's found a way.
ari shaffir
Do you believe America is just the last 300-point workout I put in?
tom segura
You'd be fired up right now about this, right?
A little bit.
joe rogan
Well, I would laugh.
tom segura
You would laugh.
joe rogan
I would have to be humble.
Because here's the deal.
If somebody beat me, I almost killed myself.
So if you beat me, what did you go through?
ari shaffir
Yeah.
joe rogan
Yeah, I respect all of us.
tom segura
What was your end score?
What was your final score?
11,000.
joe rogan
11,000 something.
tom segura
Isn't it crazy, too?
They let us know that you finished 324th, I think?
ari shaffir
324th in the world.
tom segura
But that means of registered users, 323 other people crushed him, beat him.
There's one that definitely fucking must have lit you up.
ari shaffir
What was the number one?
Do you know?
Like 19,000?
joe rogan
They wouldn't tell me.
They wouldn't tell you?
Why?
The MyZones guy said that a lot of these people are fitness instructors.
They're doing five, six, even seven Like eight classes a day.
tom segura
Yeah, but they still did it.
joe rogan
There's some people out there that are in insane shape.
ari shaffir
That's amazing.
joe rogan
People that make a living.
tom segura
That is amazing.
joe rogan
Imagine teaching six spin classes a fucking day.
bert kreischer
They don't do that.
They don't do that, though.
Not even the regular person does that.
joe rogan
But could they do it if they decided to go from gym to gym?
bert kreischer
Maybe they'd have to.
unidentified
I don't know.
joe rogan
Who would stop them?
Who would say, is there like a...
You know how they used to have that thing with Oxycontins in Florida where you can get a subscription or prescription from one guy, they go down the road, get another guy.
Then they developed a database.
Do they have a database on that?
bert kreischer
On spin classes?
I don't know.
ari shaffir
I want to be a spin teacher so bad.
unidentified
How do they know?
ari shaffir
I'm spinning too much.
joe rogan
Yeah, these people are spinning their ass off.
They wear that chest strap and teach a hundred fucking spin classes a day.
bert kreischer
Should we do one more cocktail?
tom segura
Are we going to eat?
ari shaffir
We've got to eat after this.
I'm fucking bombed.
joe rogan
I like to drink, but it's 620. We're good.
ari shaffir
We're fine.
tom segura
Yeah, we're good.
bert kreischer
Are we going to dinner?
unidentified
We've got plans, son.
bert kreischer
Wait, let's just all acknowledge...
I cannot drink for a month.
Right?
unidentified
What do you mean?
bert kreischer
When we started this whole thing, everyone thought I couldn't do it.
unidentified
Yeah, two years ago, I didn't think you could get through the month not to be a regular person.
tom segura
What do you think will happen to you on your tour next year?
Do you think it'll go well?
bert kreischer
Jesus, I don't know.
tom segura
I'm saying as far as your late night stuff?
bert kreischer
I don't know.
ari shaffir
Yeah, if you have a bus to go back to, maybe you'll not drink as much.
bert kreischer
My drinking changed a lot.
It's been three days or whatever, but just in the things that would trigger me of like, I'm in an airport, I should have a cocktail.
I can totally fly sober.
I don't know, man.
I really don't know.
You know me.
I'll be really honest.
I party hard.
joe rogan
Listen, you clearly can take a month off.
tom segura
Definitely.
joe rogan
You can do it.
And...
You know, one of the things that I've been really wrestling with a lot lately, I had this guy Tyson Fury.
Do you know who he is?
ari shaffir
Yeah, of course.
joe rogan
He used to be the heavyweight boxing champion of the world.
unidentified
He was about to fight the bronze bomber, right?
joe rogan
Yes.
He's about to fight Deontay Wilder.
And I had him on the podcast.
He was talking about depression and all the shit that he went through.
And one of the things that he said is that what pulled him out of it was Deontay Wilder said that he was finished.
And he decided he was going to figure out a way to get back.
So he decided to just get his fucking shit together.
And start...
Competition!
tom segura
Competition!
joe rogan
He won the World Heavyweight title, beat Vladimir Klitschko, and then went into a depression.
It's like, what now?
Just didn't know what the fuck to do.
It felt weird.
And this guy called him out years later.
Drinking, carrying on, getting fucking crazy.
And then this guy says he can never come back.
And he's like, oh really?
And then all of a sudden he decides to come back.
ari shaffir
I proved this guy wrong.
Yeah.
joe rogan
And now he's off medication.
He wasn't even on any medication.
They were trying to give him some shit.
tom segura
He's a big fuck, right?
joe rogan
He's a 6'9".
Gigantic guy.
unidentified
Whoa.
joe rogan
But he said he's going to do it with goal setting.
He seemed happy and friendly and he lost like a shit ton of weight.
I think he lost like a hundred and...
Wasn't it like 150 pounds or something like that?
Wasn't it something crazy, Jamie?
Do you remember?
bert kreischer
Spite's a big motivator.
joe rogan
It's a little bit of that, but it's also goal setting, man.
tom segura
Goal setting, yeah.
joe rogan
This is the thing that he said that made me think about this month.
This month was weird.
When it was over, I was like, what the fuck happened?
ari shaffir
Yeah, it was strange.
tom segura
I'll tell you, man, that day that I ran the 12 miles.
ari shaffir
691 points?
631 points?
tom segura
Yeah, I forget what it was.
ari shaffir
When you got that, it was like, fuck.
tom segura
I really was like...
ari shaffir
It's a backbreaker.
It really was a backbreaker.
I was like, I might be done.
tom segura
That was a Sunday.
I got back in town Sunday.
ari shaffir
All you got to was about...
You got about to even with me, but I was like, I might be done.
bert kreischer
I thought that was Tom.
I thought that was Tom.
joe rogan
What he used to look like versus what he looks like now.
Isn't that incredible?
tom segura
That's incredible.
joe rogan
135 pounds.
tom segura
Wow.
bert kreischer
He was a great interview, man.
I like the way he talks.
joe rogan
He's a great guy.
ari shaffir
But yeah, Tom, what were you saying?
tom segura
Just that I fucking, I thought the whole time I would see, I would look down, see how far I ran, and I'd be like, there's 400 points.
It's not enough points.
Just keep running, man.
Just keep running, keep running.
bert kreischer
Spite.
tom segura
Yeah, it's spite.
bert kreischer
Spite, spite.
tom segura
And also the fear.
bert kreischer
Dude, no, no, no, no.
I wish everyone had poked at Joe a tad bit.
Because to feel, to feel, not only like...
ari shaffir
I knew that was the wrong play.
bert kreischer
No, why not?
Why?
unidentified
Why?
ari shaffir
Because we had a chance to beat him if he just did weights.
bert kreischer
No, no, no, no, no.
ari shaffir
You made him add cardio to weights.
bert kreischer
Why play a game with Joe and not feel his fury?
ari shaffir
The reason you play a game is to win.
bert kreischer
You don't play to win.
Dude, I looked at it as a win-win situation.
joe rogan
What?
Ari's too smart.
Every word that comes out of his mouth I have to analyze.
bert kreischer
There's not a part of you that wants to just like...
joe rogan
It's too slippery.
He starts talking to me, like, yeah, you should just try to, like, lift weights and see what your score is.
ari shaffir
Yeah, exactly, to see what a regular score is.
joe rogan
I'm like a five-year-old.
ari shaffir
You get in his head.
bert kreischer
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
ari shaffir
That was light.
Oh, really?
Oh, is that obvious?
unidentified
I'm kidding.
joe rogan
I don't even know you want to win.
Okay, Ari, I'll try it that way.
unidentified
I won't even try real hard.
joe rogan
That's when I decided I was going to take you on some thousand point death runs.
tom segura
We're empty here, bro.
bert kreischer
Wait, are we done with booze?
joe rogan
Oh, we got a bunch of booze.
ari shaffir
No, try this Blanton's.
Try this Blanton's.
bert kreischer
Hey, is everyone as fucked up as I am?
ari shaffir
I'm pretty fucked up.
joe rogan
Oh, yeah, we're pretty blasted.
unidentified
Yeah, dude.
bert kreischer
We're going to eat, right?
ari shaffir
Yeah, we're going to eat.
bert kreischer
Okay, nice, nice, nice.
joe rogan
Sure, son.
tom segura
Wait, do you have a...
Nah, you didn't make a reservation, did you?
Oh, shit, alright.
unidentified
Yeah, bitch.
tom segura
I shit, alright.
unidentified
Shit.
tom segura
Damn, son.
I ain't pregnant.
joe rogan
Who asked?
ari shaffir
Burt.
tom segura
Burt did.
bert kreischer
Yes, I did.
ari shaffir
Also, by the way, notable for the podcast this year, Tom pointed out how Burt pledged those $10,000 to those kids.
bert kreischer
Let's set this up.
Let's set it up correctly.
tom segura
Let's set it up correctly.
Please, please.
What happened was this.
I, you and I were joking about a marathon and whatever.
ari shaffir
Marathon versus skate marathon.
tom segura
Nothing.
bert kreischer
Yes.
tom segura
Then I booked, you mentioned, nothing of this ever again.
Joking.
bert kreischer
Yes.
tom segura
Okay.
Then I booked a movie.
bert kreischer
Yes.
ari shaffir
Canceled in Australia again.
tom segura
I went to Atlanta to shoot the movie.
bert kreischer
He canceled Australia like the second time.
ari shaffir
He doesn't care about them.
I mean, clearly he doesn't care about them.
bert kreischer
He's canceled on us so much.
unidentified
He had one first class ticket to Australia.
ari shaffir
And now he's like, I'm not interested.
unidentified
Okay.
ari shaffir
Twice in a row.
tom segura
I love Australia.
ari shaffir
I've been there many times.
Go put on your fucking Oakleys and kill yourselves.
tom segura
Dog cunts.
Now, I... I went to shoot the movie.
While I'm in Atlanta shooting this movie, this fucking guy's like, I'm at the starting line.
Where's Tom?
He knows where I'm fucking at.
He's like, you're in Atlanta.
You're in Atlanta.
ari shaffir
They changed the rules.
tom segura
Yeah, he's like, but he's tweeting out, Tom's a no-show.
He's supposed to be here.
bert kreischer
I didn't say that, you motherfucker.
tom segura
You sure did.
bert kreischer
No, the night before, I posted a video and said, hey guys, I'm sorry.
Tommy's not going to.
joe rogan
Wow.
unidentified
You said he was going to do something he never intended to do.
tom segura
You threw me up.
bert kreischer
I didn't know you'd notice.
joe rogan
That's fake news.
bert kreischer
Oh, really?
Are we talking about fake news in this fucking room?
ari shaffir
For sure.
tom segura
Here's what happened.
bert kreischer
I called Bert.
tom segura
I'm like, I'm getting a fucking lot of messages.
And it's all people that are like, you're quitting, you're welching on this bet.
And I go, you motherfucker.
ari shaffir
Sucks to be called a welcher.
tom segura
I get it.
He goes, yeah, yeah.
I'm just fucking around.
He goes, hey, to make it up to you, if I finish this thing, I'll donate $10,000 to children's hospital.
bert kreischer
No, I've never said that.
I've never said that in my entire life.
Joe, I've never said this in my entire life.
ari shaffir
Wait, you heard him say that, though.
joe rogan
What did he say, Tommy?
tom segura
He goes, I will donate...
He goes, and if I don't...
joe rogan
10,000 American dollars?
tom segura
And he cited Ari's father.
He goes, if I don't beat Ari's father's time, I'll donate 20,000.
ari shaffir
By the way, my father just ran the Marine Corps Marathon again last Sunday at 81 years old.
tom segura
81. Mr. Shafir.
ari shaffir
Yeah.
unidentified
Very good.
bert kreischer
That was great.
tom segura
Yes.
bert kreischer
Yeah, I never said that.
I never said that.
ari shaffir
Okay, so he said that.
tom segura
Right.
And then he bailed on those kids.
ari shaffir
Bailed on those kids.
Finished the marathon.
tom segura
And you, I have to celebrate, you took it upon yourself.
ari shaffir
Thanks, Tom.
tom segura
To get the money that Ari pledged, or that Bert pledged to those sick kids.
You started Fat Bert Wants Sick Children to Die.
And you...
We're able to raise $11,270 for Children's Hospital of Los Angeles, I believe, right?
ari shaffir
Yeah, LA Children's Hospital of Los Angeles, the GoFundMe.com slash EvilBurt.
tom segura
Motherfuckers.
ari shaffir
It was very successful, and during this month, we finally filled it out, and I was able to, because you called to my attention, Tom, Yes, I did.
Because you called it an injustice to my attention.
A lot of the kids died waiting for those...
tom segura
For Burt's money.
ari shaffir
Yeah, for Burt's money.
tom segura
They actually, at the cemetery there, they have a Burt's kids plot.
And it's all kids that died under that time.
ari shaffir
Oh, wow.
Oh, my God.
That's amazing.
And that's all wrong.
So we got the money for them.
unidentified
None of this is real.
None of this is real.
ari shaffir
My mom asked me about it.
I was like, yeah.
unidentified
And she goes, can you tell Bert that he sucks?
ari shaffir
My mom asked me about it.
I was like, yeah.
And she goes, can you tell Bert that he sucks?
My Orthodox Jewish mom said, I think he sucks.
I was like, Mom, no, it's not like what you think.
She goes, tell him, I think he sucks.
tom segura
How many times has your pops done this thing?
ari shaffir
He said, he thinks without really thinking hard, 10 marathons, 3 Boston, and 7 Marine Corps.
Good for him, man.
bert kreischer
I thought you were going to run it with him.
ari shaffir
No, but he was...
tom segura
By the way, when you mentioned that, I was looking at the numbers.
I was like, these are about to jump.
Ari just ran a marathon with his dad.
That's what I thought.
I really did.
I was like, he just did.
And I was looking at that screen like, this is about to jump to like 19,000.
ari shaffir
I posted it.
I was like, the day me and my dad teamed up for 32 miles.
tom segura
Because he was like, he texted about his dad and I was like...
Your dad did it.
Did you do it?
And it took me an hour to believe that you didn't do it.
joe rogan
Did you guys at any point wonder whether or not your body was going to hold up?
ari shaffir
Towards the end, it wasn't holding up.
I could do like 30 minutes and I was like, I've got to slow down.
I can't.
tom segura
I never felt as weak as the last day at night.
I had spoken to you, I had spoken to you, and the last person I spoke to was Ari.
And he goes, if you're going to do it, will you just sync up?
So I'll know where you're at?
And I was like, yeah.
And then I go, I'm not doing 700 right now.
ari shaffir
That's how much I space myself.
tom segura
I flew, by the way.
I didn't tell you.
I traveled on the last day.
unidentified
Oh, really?
tom segura
So I flew to the East Coast.
But still, when I got there, I was so exhausted that I was like, at first I was like, I'll do 500 points right now.
ari shaffir
You asked me too, like, do you think I should work out?
I'm like, if I have, from my point of view, no.
But from your point of view, you should separate yourself a little more from Burt.
tom segura
And exactly.
And then when I got to like 250, I actually, I go, could I go longer?
Yes.
Could I get to Ari?
I just feel like I'm going to die right now.
You know, I feel almost sick.
So I was like, if I... Am I going to do another few hours until the cutoff?
I was like, there's no way I'm going to do it.
bert kreischer
But wasn't there a part of it, and then I'll say, is that when you woke up in the morning, you were like...
This is unquestionable.
I can do this.
ari shaffir
What do you mean?
bert kreischer
Every day we did this, there was a part of you that was like, I can work out one more time.
I can work out.
I did.
tom segura
I really did honestly think I was out when I texted you.
ari shaffir
You got sick.
tom segura
Yeah, I was like, I'm out.
There's no way.
When I did 43 points.
ari shaffir
That made me so happy.
bert kreischer
You have no idea.
I was done.
I gotta breathe.
ari shaffir
Can I tell you last year that me and Bert, me and Tom, excuse me, like day one of Sober October was mostly about the sobriety and less about the yoga.
Tom and I were texting like, should we just drink the entire time and not tell them?
And we're both like, yeah, I don't think we either one of us fully trust each other not to round the other.
But it would have been like, let's just drink the whole time and then be like, yeah, we never even started that.
tom segura
It would be funny.
bert kreischer
Dude, I was terrified there would be one prank coming my way.
joe rogan
You know, when we were in the parking lot after yoga class, you were like, let's get blood tests.
ari shaffir
Ferrari Day?
Yeah.
Hey, you freaked out.
joe rogan
I was like, really?
tom segura
What was the story about...
joe rogan
You don't trust us?
tom segura
Somebody said, wait, did you have to get...
bert kreischer
Ren and Zizi wanted Ari to do...
tom segura
I got a Lamborghini last year.
ari shaffir
Yeah, you got a Lamborghini.
joe rogan
The best part...
tom segura
I don't even know if we said this last year, but since I had told him because I ran into him the night before, the next day when we were going to the 15th class, my phone rings and it's Joe, and he goes, are you in a white Lamborghini?
And I go, yeah.
And he goes, yeah, you're right in front of me.
And he goes, since you told me you got a Lamborghini, I assumed that this fucking ridiculous Lamborghini was yours.
So then I pulled in, and we looked for a place to park, and he's like, nobody's going to fuck with this thing, man.
joe rogan
That's so dope!
tom segura
It was so great.
The best part of this whole thing was a day after I had told Bert that it was a joke, he called me, and he goes...
I did look at motorcycles.
unidentified
I looked at motorcycles because I thought you got a treat.
bert kreischer
Dude, I'm still like that.
I want a treat, too.
I want a treat, too.
I want a treat.
tom segura
I want a treat.
That was it.
I want a treat.
bert kreischer
I want a treat.
Don't you want to drink?
joe rogan
Do you understand how crazy it is?
unidentified
You've rented a Lamborghini just so fuck would burn.
ari shaffir
Oh my god, it was great.
And I was like, yeah, I don't know.
tom segura
You know who fucked?
bert kreischer
You almost fucked it up.
tom segura
Because you go, look at the registration.
You said that.
And I go, look at it.
I told you that.
unidentified
I go, fucking look at it.
ari shaffir
Look at it.
joe rogan
We're doing yoga in the parking lot with Jordan dancing.
bert kreischer
Oh, God.
ari shaffir
Look at that gross body I had that was so far better than either of yours.
tom segura
So much better.
joe rogan
How long do you think you can surf?
ari shaffir
No, but my girlfriend was like, with my body, she's like, oh.
joe rogan
How long do you think you can surf in a month?
bert kreischer
Standing on a board.
joe rogan
Yeah, how much time?
bert kreischer
Wow, that's a great question.
joe rogan
Over 31 days.
ari shaffir
You have to catch long waves.
bert kreischer
Even more so.
Your feet get tired.
tom segura
Here's the thing.
We always know that we end up knowing the running order.
There's no punishment.
I'm not trying to fucking run up on you, but there's no punishment this year, right?
ari shaffir
For coming in last?
joe rogan
No.
unidentified
Yeah.
tom segura
So next year it's the same thing.
bert kreischer
I think there should be.
Wait, hold on, hold on.
I wanted to win.
joe rogan
You all wanted to win.
Who gives a shit?
ari shaffir
The belt is pretty solid.
I'm just saying this.
I'm saying this.
We should do something to celebrate.
And I'm just saying.
Forget about winning and losing.
For someone who came in second, number one in non-asteryx, I would say...
bert kreischer
Do you know what he just said to you?
joe rogan
Non-Asterix?
bert kreischer
He said you do steroids?
joe rogan
I do.
unidentified
I do testosterone.
ari shaffir
I would say...
joe rogan
I should have a full Jose Canseco Wikipedia.
ari shaffir
I would say that my vote should carry some extra weight.
And I'm saying, I would really like...
To go to Chiang Mai, Thailand.
unidentified
You really want to do this.
ari shaffir
To watch some fucking kickboxing.
joe rogan
He just wants to get away from America.
ari shaffir
Absolutely, but I think it'd be a fun thing we can do where you would all enjoy your type of thing also.
We don't stay in a hostel.
We stay in a hotel, sure.
And just do that, smoke some cigars, get drunk on beer.
I think my vote as number two should carry a little weight, but please take some time and think about it.
joe rogan
But I'd like to do that.
bert kreischer
I'd do something like that.
I have no problem with that either.
tom segura
But wait, so does this year's loss count?
bert kreischer
I owe everyone something.
unidentified
Bert will at least pay for the first round of chains.
joe rogan
How much piss do you think you can drink?
ari shaffir
Drink that piss!
tom segura
I gotta pee real bad.
bert kreischer
Go pee, go pee.
tom segura
No, no, I mean do pee right here for you?
bert kreischer
Yeah.
tom segura
You'll drink it?
joe rogan
Bert?
ari shaffir
Drink it!
Drink it!
joe rogan
Would you chug Ari's full kombucha of piss?
ari shaffir
No, I'm not drinking a party of piss.
unidentified
Would you really piss in it?
bert kreischer
No, I'm not drinking piss, guys.
joe rogan
Let's agree.
No drinking piss.
bert kreischer
No drinking piss.
Listen, I need to give a treat to the team.
I lost.
And I don't know what that treat will be, but it should be a treat.
joe rogan
You don't have to do shit, but here's the thing.
Let's just do it all.
bert kreischer
I know that you guys say that.
ari shaffir
Pay for the hotel in Chiang Mai.
It'll cost you $700 for four days for each one of us to have a room.
Or we can get a giant red place.
bert kreischer
Whatever we decide to do, I'm going to definitely be a part of that treat that impresses you guys.
tom segura
Let's do four round trip, first class tickets, and ten for fans that listen.
And then you buy those.
joe rogan
What about the dogs?
bert kreischer
I'll tell you this right now.
If we do Madison Square Garden, I'll pay for the private jet to take us all to fucking New York.
joe rogan
This private jet aesthetic is troubling.
ari shaffir
You guys are such trash.
You're such trash.
What a fucking horrible, wasteful thing to get.
What, what, what?
tom segura
Yeah, book Madison Square Garden.
bert kreischer
Alright, we'll book Madison Square Garden and I'll pay for the private jet together, sir.
joe rogan
Go drain your dragon, son.
bert kreischer
I'll pay for the private jet together, sir.
joe rogan
I'll meet you guys at JFK. Honestly, just the three of us, how surprising was this month?
bert kreischer
Hardcore.
joe rogan
For me, it was very, very surprising.
bert kreischer
What was surprising to you, though?
joe rogan
Where it went.
It went so competitive.
ari shaffir
It was so competitive.
Nobody ever separated themselves fully, except you.
But even with you, it was still like, I could maybe catch him if he stops.
Like, when you went on the hunting trip, when you said, I'm not going to be able to work out for the next five days, we were all like, oh, we got a chance to catch Rogan and pass him.
And then when you worked out on the trip, you're like, oh, that's where we were fucked.
But, like, it was surprising that we kept fighting the whole way.
bert kreischer
It was unrelenting.
joe rogan
It wasn't anything I could relax.
ari shaffir
No, never.
joe rogan
Because there was one time that I went to Vegas for the UFC. I took three days off.
And I came back and I was in last place.
And I was like, whoa.
And then, Bert, you helped me there, too, because you tweeted that.
ari shaffir
Bert, you fucked up.
joe rogan
Tweeted that I was in last place, and you even posted the numbers on Instagram, and I was like, okay.
bert kreischer
So that really motivated you?
joe rogan
100%.
unidentified
Stupid idiot.
joe rogan
Here's why, silly boy.
I get motivated by everything that can be a motivator.
I don't let something not motivate me.
Why would I do that?
So you say anything.
bert kreischer
I so do not know who you are.
joe rogan
If you say anything, I'm like, oh, okay.
Okay.
Okay, no matter what you say, I never hear what you say and say, well, Bert's a great guy, and I know he's just joking around and doing this for publicity.
I'm like, I can do that later.
That doesn't help me right now.
Right now it helps me if you tell me that you're going to beat me.
And I'm like, oh, yeah, that's going to...
Okay, here we go!
bert kreischer
I did a cruise at the beginning of this month with Bobby Kelly.
And I told him about this right when the whole thing started.
I'm looking at everyone's numbers for the first time.
And I said, yeah, Rogan's in it.
I'm taunting him.
And Bobby goes, why would you ever do that?
I go, he's Joe, man.
And he goes, no, I don't think you know Joe.
I go, no, I definitely know Joe.
He goes, never taunt him.
And then halfway through that cruise, I was like, I think I fucked up, man.
ari shaffir
He told you.
He told you.
bert kreischer
So stupid.
Dude.
ari shaffir
It was a good month though.
bert kreischer
It was a good month.
ari shaffir
I went down to 175. First time in like 10 years.
bert kreischer
Would it have been cooler if I had just been like super cunty and respectful?
ari shaffir
Yeah, it would have been cooler if one of us could have won.
bert kreischer
Dude, I like the fucking gameplay.
I like the Connor bullshit.
I'm like, talk shit, man.
Be as loud as you can be.
Dude, you came in last.
ari shaffir
You gotta support my fucking Chiang Mai idea.
bert kreischer
I'm in.
ari shaffir
You came in dead last.
You gotta support it.
bert kreischer
I'm in.
I'm in.
joe rogan
I was trying to go to Asia.
ari shaffir
Joe, you like those kickboxing fights.
joe rogan
Loved them.
Let's go.
Listen, I even did some commentary for kickboxing in California.
ari shaffir
Really?
joe rogan
For Muay Thai, yeah.
Way back before UFC. Before I ever did UFC commentary, I did commentary for Muay Thai.
ari shaffir
Guys, we can ride motorbikes.
I can take you to some cool places.
tom segura
Let's do it.
unidentified
Yeah, man.
ari shaffir
You're the only wild card, Tom.
tom segura
Why am I the wild card?
bert kreischer
I don't know.
ari shaffir
You don't seem like you would go to a place.
tom segura
I would go.
ari shaffir
Really?
tom segura
For a short-term trip?
ari shaffir
Yeah, we're doing it.
March, April?
Yeah, Monday through Friday.
I'm free to go first.
joe rogan
How long do you guys think you can surf for?
In a whole month.
tom segura
This is for our competition next year.
bert kreischer
Hey, someone get Kelly Slater on the phone and let's find out how long it sounds respectful.
So I don't want to throw out big numbers right now, but I'm thinking four days.
tom segura
Sebastian Inlet, God, what's up?
Let's talk.
ari shaffir
Four days, bro.
bert kreischer
Four days.
joe rogan
I don't think it's possible to stay in one of those things for too long.
tom segura
Are you interested even in surfing?
joe rogan
No.
Never have been.
Scared of sharks.
bert kreischer
That's why we go to Kelly Slater's wave pool.
ari shaffir
That is the reason why Kelly Slater's wave pool.
bert kreischer
And by the way, Joe, Joe.
joe rogan
Fucking terrifying.
ari shaffir
How cool does this make this?
Joe hates all monsters.
joe rogan
Monsters are bad, right?
bert kreischer
We can all go and surf together like we did with the hot yoga, but we're all trying to catch better waves.
joe rogan
Monsters are real.
ari shaffir
We would have to enlist in Kelly Slater's surf camp for whatever the month is.
bert kreischer
No, bro, bro, bro.
We got this.
We got this.
I like this.
ari shaffir
You guys are idiots.
bert kreischer
I can spend five days on a surf camp.
ari shaffir
Don't you have lives?
bert kreischer
No!
joe rogan
I do have a life, but to be honest, I like putting it aside every October.
ari shaffir
Why are you guys so scared of doing my challenge to you?
unidentified
What's your challenge?
ari shaffir
Get off social media.
bert kreischer
That's stupid.
Some of us gotta sell tickets for a Body Shots World Tour.
joe rogan
No, no.
tom segura
Yeah, Ari.
joe rogan
You know what you can do?
You can agree to stay off social media, and if you have anything you have to post about something, you send it to some sort of a manager.
ari shaffir
Yeah, send it to an email.
unidentified
They put it up for you.
joe rogan
They put it up for you.
ari shaffir
Do you do that thing?
Yeah.
tom segura
You send it to people to send it for you?
ari shaffir
Email it, say, hey, send this tomorrow or send this today as soon as you can.
If it's after 10 p.m., wait until tomorrow.
joe rogan
It's a good move.
ari shaffir
And then you don't check it?
joe rogan
It's not the only move.
It's not the only move.
But it's a good move.
I think it's not just a good move for us.
It's a good move for everybody.
Take yourself off that shit.
Limit the amount of variables you have to process.
Because if you don't, you won't process them correctly.
So you'll be dealing with a bunch of information and some of it you'll get right and some of it you'll get wrong.
But you never know what the real balance is because too much of it is coming...
At you all the time.
ari shaffir
All the time.
You can't stop and think for a second.
unidentified
Yeah.
tom segura
You love it.
bert kreischer
I don't mind it.
I don't mind it.
tom segura
Bert, this is your wheelhouse.
bert kreischer
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Dude, let me tell you something.
The same thing could be argued about podcasting.
People go, hey, we're talking too much.
We shouldn't be talking this much.
But it's something that our fans dig and I dig.
ari shaffir
No, but that doesn't affect your own psyche.
bert kreischer
It does.
ari shaffir
This shit gets you in mind and you start getting angry about something no one else cares about.
bert kreischer
You can very easily say, don't read comments, don't look at likes, don't look at any of that shit.
That could be argued.
Too many people dig it.
To walk away from it.
In my opinion.
And I know I dig it.
joe rogan
There's no need to walk away.
I think Ari's saying more like breaks.
Take a break.
ari shaffir
If you guys could totally deal with a month off of all that shit.
You more than anybody.
And then you and then you.
Of just like not being on that.
Not letting it affect your opinion.
Just walk outside and view the world for what it is.
For a month it wouldn't kill you.
bert kreischer
No I agree.
unidentified
But.
ari shaffir
You could get your business shit part done.
Just by emailing saying, post this for me.
And then never looking at it.
bert kreischer
I don't know.
I'd argue against it.
tom segura
Well, you could do that.
bert kreischer
No, I definitely could not.
And I don't want to.
tom segura
That's different.
bert kreischer
Dude, I dig listening to you talk to Kelly Slater.
That gives me joy.
ari shaffir
You can go on podcasts.
bert kreischer
No, no, no.
You're talking about getting away from your fucking phone.
That's all of it.
How would I know Joe had Kelly Slater on?
joe rogan
We're talking about all of it.
He's talking about social media.
ari shaffir
Yeah, but I would say probably the best way is to get a flip phone for a month.
Twitter.
Yeah, if you can get off all social media for a month, that would help you a lot.
joe rogan
There was never a moment where I thought that you guys were cheating.
Or you really didn't do 15 yoga classes.
unidentified
I always thought that.
ari shaffir
Oh, right.
No, I never thought that.
joe rogan
Or even this month.
It's like, you know, the worst case scenario would be somebody to be holding back where they weren't releasing information.
ari shaffir
Yeah, negotiating the system!
unidentified
But I had already prepared for that.
ari shaffir
You got so far ahead.
I wanted to save it for like seven days.
I couldn't trust that MyZone thing.
It said 13 hours.
Was it real 13 hours?
It lost a good 40 minutes one time.
bert kreischer
I think you're looking at social media in a bad way.
ari shaffir
Overall, it shifts your views to the negative.
bert kreischer
There are some positives, but overall.
What you need to do is shift that and go, like, what are my positives?
What are my negatives?
It's the same as a podcast, man.
There's no difference in Instagram and a podcast.
There's no difference.
ari shaffir
Why?
bert kreischer
Because it's information, man.
It's sharing cool shit.
ari shaffir
No, but it's what you're looking at.
bert kreischer
No, but I feel like sometimes you haven't been the fan that maybe the outsider has.
The person listening to this right now goes, dude, I like when you do Instagrams.
Like that Instagram you did about you eating drugs and smoking and drinking, it made me giggle.
ari shaffir
Okay, but I can send it to my assistant to post for me.
We all agree.
But I don't have to be there looking at the responses minute by minute.
unidentified
No, no, no.
bert kreischer
We're all agreeing on that.
You're saying get off your phone, get off social media, get off all of it.
joe rogan
Yeah, but he's only saying that because of the impulse to look at the responses and to engage.
bert kreischer
No, I agree.
I agree.
ari shaffir
To hear somebody going, like Joe List said he brought a response to something I did.
Maybe even that video.
He's going, oh, you should probably kill yourself.
And he said 168 likes.
A lot of likes for a comment.
And then he said some people are like, how dare you?
You don't know that guy.
And he's like, I'll just delete it.
unidentified
We're having a good time.
ari shaffir
You're bringing it down because of responses.
bert kreischer
On fucking Instagram.
Dude, that whole thing.
Dude, I have people that just block people.
ari shaffir
Yeah.
unidentified
Well, you know, there's a lot of disinterested folks out there.
joe rogan
They just don't feel good, and they want you to feel shitty, too.
Even if they're right about some things, the way they address it is what the problem is.
They're blurting out and oozing anger in disproportionate amounts, and it affects everybody around them, and it affects all of us.
ari shaffir
Yeah, there's that, and there's also just the amount of time.
Like, Tom, you saw when you said, like, let me just try to, like, wake my kids up before I check my internet or whatever.
Exactly, yeah.
Just the amount of time you're spending on it.
tom segura
It's too much.
ari shaffir
It might do you good to see what it's like for a month off it.
To where you're like, oh, I actually have a lot of time in my day.
tom segura
It's overall positive to do it the way you're describing.
I do think that it definitely, for sure, plays a part in our business.
ari shaffir
Yeah, you need it for certain things.
tom segura
But you could do the thing where you go send it to somebody.
ari shaffir
Yeah, let me find a way.
Every time I think, well, I need it for this.
Okay, but can I... Is there a way around that?
I don't know.
Just when I see something, I make my life less happy.
joe rogan
Let me try to think about it at least.
There's something to that, but then there's also people that make your life happier.
There's a lot of really hilarious shit online.
bert kreischer
Adam Greentree.
Adam Greentree, man.
Fuck everything you're saying right now.
I like watching his life.
I'm just...
Cam Newton, man.
He does those running videos next to the car, and I go, I gotta get out there and do something.
joe rogan
You mean Cameron Hayes or Cam Newton?
bert kreischer
Goddammit, man.
ari shaffir
Are you talking about the Panthers?
bert kreischer
I'm fucking hammered.
tom segura
The quarterback for the Panthers?
bert kreischer
Cam Hayes.
unidentified
The fucking lead singer of Steel Panthers?
bert kreischer
Yeah, Cam Newton runs by his car with his hat.
joe rogan
What the fuck are you saying, Burt Chrysler?
bert kreischer
I am fucking hammered, man.
tom segura
Shout out to Cam, Ains.
joe rogan
Shout out to Cam, both Newton and Ains.
Holla.
tom segura
Ains and Newton.
What's up, bruh?
ari shaffir
I can't believe we did this much working out, you guys.
That's fucking nuts.
tom segura
And think about how much more weight we're carrying than you.
Seriously.
ari shaffir
Yeah.
That's what I think with Bert was like, oh, Ari's heart rate must be going up because he doesn't work out.
It's like, yeah, could be.
It could also be that you're lifting 70 pounds more than me with every step you take.
unidentified
That's a possibility to think about.
bert kreischer
This is my impression of Ari.
ari shaffir
You guys are all correct.
joe rogan
You wrestle with Ari, he's going to try to kill you.
ari shaffir
But we all did it.
bert kreischer
Who do you think could tap out someone first?
And I have no training.
joe rogan
Well, Ari definitely has the most training in jiu-jitsu.
ari shaffir
Yeah, if you could get on top of me, you could do something to me, but if I could stop you from doing that, I would for sure beat you.
joe rogan
Ari understands what's happening.
ari shaffir
You wouldn't know what to defend.
joe rogan
I've seen him choke people.
unidentified
Exactly.
joe rogan
Do you think that's the case?
tom segura
Dude, next year.
unidentified
I don't know.
tom segura
Let's promote.
ari shaffir
Let's go to Abu Dhabi and go to the fucking world.
tom segura
Let's do the surf thing.
bert kreischer
In my opinion, can I just say, we need to cut the surf contest in half.
We should do it six months from now.
Because you know Kelly Sater can get this lined up and the weather will be perfect.
ari shaffir
When?
bert kreischer
In six months from now.
tom segura
Wait, wait, wait.
joe rogan
Kelly Slater, when we sucked so hard, we never surfed once.
tom segura
No, he would not want anything to do with us.
bert kreischer
Kelly Slater's doing this.
joe rogan
What the fuck are we getting?
bert kreischer
Kelly Slater.
ari shaffir
I know, I have no interest in this.
tom segura
Let's do this.
Wait, let's do this surfing.
bert kreischer
Oh, yes, you do.
tom segura
Wait, wait, wait.
ari shaffir
Kelly Slater.
tom segura
On top of this, let's do...
joe rogan
Why would he help you, Bert?
He's busy!
tom segura
Will you do one round?
One round.
bert kreischer
Yep, yep, I'm in.
unidentified
What?
tom segura
MMA, like UFC rules, fight against Ari.
bert kreischer
No, no, no.
I would never do that.
tom segura
You said I'm down.
joe rogan
No, no, no, no.
Listen, here's what we have to not do.
bert kreischer
I want fun competition.
joe rogan
That is fun.
ari shaffir
I would gouge your eyes out.
joe rogan
Listen, there can be no hitting, okay?
There can be no hitting.
bert kreischer
Yeah.
joe rogan
Here's the problem.
You can choke each other if you want to choke each other.
The problem with hitting is that shit is permanent.
The damage is real.
tom segura
All right, fine.
joe rogan
Especially when you're in your 40s.
You don't want to be getting punched in the face by one of your best friends.
He knocks you unconscious.
ari shaffir
We should do an olympiata.
How old did you turn for real?
bert kreischer
Six months.
joe rogan
What, Jamie?
jamie vernon
Combat jiu-jitsu.
joe rogan
No, don't hit each other.
unidentified
I'm telling you.
tom segura
Bert, how old did you turn for real?
unidentified
46. For real.
tom segura
How old for real?
joe rogan
Dog years!
bert kreischer
For real.
tom segura
No, for real.
Tell them the real age.
ari shaffir
Wikipedia age.
tom segura
No, what's the real age?
Tell them the real age.
joe rogan
I'm 46. When your brother was in the Vietnam War, was it hard at home?
Was it hard for everybody?
tom segura
You're from real age though.
joe rogan
When Truman went on TV and said what he said, did your whole family freak out or no?
tom segura
51. Now, back when Kennedy was an assassin, did you know that it would be a big moment?
bert kreischer
Oh, fake media, man.
ari shaffir
Fake news.
tom segura
You're 47 years old.
unidentified
I'm 46. I'm 46. 53 is amazing.
joe rogan
I thought you were younger than me.
bert kreischer
Joe said you were 41. I'm not 41. He's 85 years old.
You're 85?
I know this.
I'm not getting off my blood pressure medication.
unidentified
I don't want to have a stroke.
tom segura
Why?
Don't have a stroke?
bert kreischer
No, I know.
I'm going to stay on my blood pressure medication until the doctor says to get off it.
tom segura
Okay.
ari shaffir
Ask the doctor, is there a path off this?
Should I be going on?
bert kreischer
I've got to lose weight.
ari shaffir
Oh.
tom segura
How much?
bert kreischer
I'd probably have to get to 205. Fuck!
To get off my blood pressure medicine.
I think, right?
ari shaffir
What are you on now?
225?
bert kreischer
No, no.
I was 228 at the end of the contest.
I'm probably...
No joke, I'm probably 235, I'm guessing.
unidentified
You can get down to 205. What were you at the end of the weight loss challenge?
bert kreischer
I don't know.
I don't really remember, to be honest with you.
222, I think?
ari shaffir
Jamie, pull that up.
tom segura
Less than that.
joe rogan
Tommy, what were you, buddy?
bert kreischer
He was 213. No, no, no.
tom segura
The final weigh-in score was 216 to like 219. The second day.
ari shaffir
Wait, can I ask you right now, Tom?
What are you at right now?
Because you don't look like you've put it back on after the fucking U.S. sports.
bert kreischer
Oh, are you being serious?
Okay, yeah, sure.
Whatever, whatever.
tom segura
Wait, first of all, don't forget this.
Don't forget this.
The weigh-in was with a dramatic, for non-professionals, dramatic water cut.
Fuck yeah, man.
ari shaffir
I know.
tom segura
So we basically, you can throw on 10 pounds.
ari shaffir
That's why I wanted two days in a row, not just one day.
tom segura
I know, but you can throw on 10 pounds, essentially, to what we weighed in at as our real weight.
unidentified
Jesus.
joe rogan
Oh my god, this is so preposterous.
bert kreischer
How fucking crazy.
joe rogan
Here's the thing we did last year or the year before with this challenge and with this one.
We didn't really take into account our own personal health.
ari shaffir
Yeah, good point.
Never.
joe rogan
I'm gonna be really honest.
I had phantom pains in my kidneys.
I was worried.
tom segura
On this one?
joe rogan
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The last day.
Like the last few days.
I did like somewhere in the range of 535 points.
ari shaffir
You were worried if I'd be catching you?
joe rogan
100%.
You're sneaky.
ari shaffir
I love that.
joe rogan
You're sneaky.
That's respect, bro.
bert kreischer
Slippery Jew.
unidentified
That's respect.
joe rogan
And even if you couldn't, I would think about that the same way I really thought Burt was actually trying to double me.
Same feeling.
bert kreischer
I can't believe you really thought that.
joe rogan
I don't care.
You don't understand.
I don't care if it's real.
ari shaffir
Can't let it happen.
joe rogan
I don't care if it's real.
It's just you said it.
So even if you don't believe it, it doesn't matter.
It doesn't help me to think that you don't believe it.
bert kreischer
I would love to use your brain every now and then.
joe rogan
It helps me to think that I believe it.
It helps me to think that you're trying to double my score.
And I'm like, we're going to the dark lands.
tom segura
Yeah.
joe rogan
We're going dark, Bert Kreischer.
tom segura
But to answer your question, I think we put on our water weight, and I think I only gained a few pounds on top of that.
joe rogan
You have stayed almost entirely consistent.
bert kreischer
That's a lie.
joe rogan
That's a hard lie.
tom segura
No, I've seen him.
bert kreischer
Wait, you think you're 216 right now?
tom segura
No, if you listen to what I said...
bert kreischer
That's what Joe said.
tom segura
No, no, no.
What I said was, to be fair...
bert kreischer
No, that's what Joe said.
I'm telling you.
tom segura
But what I said was that we probably gained 10 pounds back from the water cut.
bert kreischer
I agree with that.
tom segura
So 216 would put me at 226. I said I'd probably gain a few pounds on top of it.
bert kreischer
I would say right now, if anything, you're 230. Just regular.
joe rogan
Listen, I love you.
You're an awesome person.
But the only reason why you're pushing back against this is because you're concerned that it's going to sweep back on you, having gained...
Thank you.
bert kreischer
No.
It sweeps on me regardless.
It sweeps on me regardless.
joe rogan
Like a wave.
tom segura
What's he doing?
joe rogan
At a beach.
He's gonna piss, man.
Leave him alone.
Family's in the Holocaust.
ari shaffir
Thank you.
bert kreischer
Thank you.
ari shaffir
Social justice warrior Joe Rogan.
tom segura
God, he's pissing in a cup.
joe rogan
The wave, like this, Bert, comes back.
tom segura
Just remember that Bert came in last.
joe rogan
You can't tell people.
unidentified
You can't give people motivation.
joe rogan
You don't understand.
I don't need it to be real.
I heard it.
I'll decide it's real.
I'll just decide it's real.
That's what you have to understand.
ari shaffir
Burt, you came in last!
Mickey Mantle Gene, you came in fucking last!
bert kreischer
Yeah.
Mickey Mantle Gene for real.
Mickey Mantle Gene for real.
ari shaffir
Mickey Mantle Gene and Frank Gene.
bert kreischer
Tell him about Mickey Mantle Gene.
tom segura
For real.
unidentified
For real.
bert kreischer
Hold on.
Shut the fuck up and listen.
unidentified
Okay.
tom segura
I think that Mickey Mantle Gene...
bert kreischer
Thank you.
ari shaffir
He didn't say anything yet.
tom segura
Hold on.
I want to say this to the Sandy Koufax Gene.
I want to say that the Mickey Mantle Gene...
joe rogan
Oh my god.
tom segura
Is real.
Not because of this.
It's because the Mickey Mantle gene is that this crazy son of a bitch could go out Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday night till 3 in the morning with fucking, you know, 180,000 beers.
unidentified
And then Sunday he'd be like, let's do a show.
tom segura
Fucking fine.
That's the Mickey Mantle gene.
ari shaffir
True.
tom segura
Not this shit.
joe rogan
Yeah.
tom segura
That's a lot of piss.
joe rogan
I think he's confused about piss, what it tastes like when you're trying to choke it down.
tom segura
You're going to drink that through his straw?
bert kreischer
No, I'm not drinking that.
joe rogan
You don't chug it.
bert kreischer
No, but Tom's right.
You got to swallow the ice cubes.
And that's all that we need to know.
ari shaffir
That's all we need to know.
I did more workouts than you.
When doing the same workout as you was worth less points than you, that means I did far more workouts than you.
bert kreischer
Bro.
joe rogan
He didn't work out at all for 10 years.
It's hard to fuck with that.
ari shaffir
But I did the same workout as you, and then after doing the same workout with you, I was down 50 points when I started with you.
bert kreischer
I think what we were missing is what Tom's saying, is that if we all had partied at the same level every night and then tried to work out...
tom segura
Dude, you're definitely ahead on that.
You're definitely ahead on that.
ari shaffir
Dude, the feeling that I got when the molly kicked in at fucking whatever time, Wednesday night, Halloween night, was just like, this is done.
joe rogan
Done.
tom segura
It felt so good.
ari shaffir
It felt so good.
joe rogan
I woke up the next morning.
My ankles hurt when I got out of bed.
unidentified
Wow.
joe rogan
My knees were hurt.
They were all stiff and sore.
ari shaffir
Oh, my God.
joe rogan
There was something going on with one of the muscles in my calf.
And I was walking.
I'd take a piss.
I was like, what happened?
What did we do?
When I was walking around with my kids on Halloween doing the trick-or-treating deal, I was thinking to myself, thank God it's over.
What were we doing?
We all went crazy.
ari shaffir
I showed up at this comedy cellar and picked up my shirt, undid my thing, and Liz was like, what are you doing?
unidentified
I was like, I had to run here because I'm in this constant challenge with my friends, so I had to run.
I crossed down to my comedy spot instead of just walking.
bert kreischer
But wasn't it cool?
ari shaffir
And she was like, what's wrong with you?
bert kreischer
Other people go like, hey man, why are you going to the gym right now twice?
And then go, oh, I kind of liked it.
And I know I might be the only one, but I like that I'm in a fight with my friends.
And then going in and people going like, you got this Burt.
Show the music.
ari shaffir
So many people knew about this.
joe rogan
By the way, all you dummies who said you got this, Bert, thank you.
ari shaffir
He did not have it.
He actually had it less than anyone.
joe rogan
I was more angry about you people than for Bert to win.
I was like, oh, great.
bert kreischer
I let down so many people.
tom segura
You what?
bert kreischer
I let down so many people.
unidentified
Fuck those people.
bert kreischer
They're dreamers.
They're dreamers.
ari shaffir
They're dreamers and they're schemers and they're scheming to lose.
bert kreischer
They're dreamers and they believe in God.
tom segura
The ones who cheered for you?
bert kreischer
Dude, I would jog down a little canyon and I'd hear people in their truck.
You got this, Bert!
tom segura
No, I got that.
bert kreischer
Fuck Joe Rogan!
unidentified
You're wrong.
ari shaffir
You should have died in that fucking truck.
bert kreischer
Dude, hold on one second.
My buddy Eric Ruiz can tell you I went hiking in Runyon Canyon and two guys were like, hey man, you got this, Bert.
And I was like, in my head, the competition was already over.
I was like, Joe's already beat me really bad, guys.
tom segura
What did you think?
So what was the final?
The final is you got 11,000 something.
You got just over 9,000.
ari shaffir
I got 10,016.
I went until I got right over 10,000.
tom segura
He beat you just over 1,000 basically?
ari shaffir
Yeah, so 1,100, 1,200, something like that.
But getting 10,000 to me was like another one where it's like, let's aim for a line.
I think I can get there.
tom segura
That's a good line, man.
That's a good line.
ari shaffir
11,253.
tom segura
Good for you, man.
bert kreischer
Just to put that in perspective, Segura 9533. That's three workouts ahead of Tommy.
joe rogan
But the fact that we were amongst literally the tiniest percentage of all the people using these goddamn things.
ari shaffir
Dude, me and Bert at a legit gym.
tom segura
Where's Arlie?
ari shaffir
The Snap Fitness in Shawnee, Kansas.
joe rogan
You were crushing it.
ari shaffir
I came in first and third.
joe rogan
And you beat a fitness instructor who's giving classes.
unidentified
Yeah.
bert kreischer
Killer.
ari shaffir
I don't understand.
tom segura
Killer and Shawnee.
joe rogan
All of us literally lost our fucking minds.
ari shaffir
We lost our minds.
joe rogan
We went crazy.
tom segura
I like it.
No, I like it too.
We're gonna surf next year.
bert kreischer
I'm into surfing.
joe rogan
Listen, I'm gonna surf till you die.
You're all gonna die out there.
tom segura
That's what I'm talking about.
bert kreischer
Bro, we can all come out with our own surf.
joe rogan
I'm gonna surf and cheat.
The stuff that keeps your ankle together just breaks.
tom segura
Sharks are everywhere, dog.
unidentified
Sharks are everywhere.
joe rogan
That stuff that keeps your ankle from moving around, that shit's just gonna break.
tom segura
Tiger sharks.
joe rogan
How long are you gonna stay on that surfboard?
tom segura
Nurse sharks.
joe rogan
How long?
bert kreischer
Shout out to Kelly Slater.
joe rogan
How long you got in ya?
tom segura
Kelly, be my coach!
bert kreischer
Kelly's gonna pick me.
tom segura
No way!
joe rogan
He was on my podcast!
bert kreischer
Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe.
tom segura
Shane Dorian's a good friend of mine.
Sebastian Inlet, bro, don't forget.
joe rogan
Fuck both of you!
bert kreischer
I'm going Brad Gorlack then.
Fine, fuck it.
joe rogan
Who's that guy?
bert kreischer
Trust me, I'm a big fan of surfers.
I just can't surf.
joe rogan
That Joel Tudor guy.
That guy's a jiu-jitsu black belt.
tom segura
Ari will be the master surfer.
ari shaffir
Yeah, I actually think Kelly Slater is a pussy and I don't want she as my coach.
unidentified
What?
ari shaffir
You're a fucking loser, bro.
You've never risen to the top of your potential.
I have no interest in you as a coach.
I have no interest in you as a coach.
I'm looking for success, not for what has been.
I'm looking for the top.
If you could help me, not this Kelly Slater garbage.
Don't be wrong!
joe rogan
How dare you?
He's tricking you.
ari shaffir
I'm looking for the win.
unidentified
Who wants to join on for what is today?
joe rogan
Ari's like that guy that criticizes a girl's weight so that he can start dating her.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
He gets under her skin.
unidentified
That's right.
tom segura
He's nagging, bro.
ari shaffir
He's not negative.
unidentified
Ah!
joe rogan
Ah!
tom segura
Kelly, don't fall for it, man.
joe rogan
Don't fall for it, bro.
tom segura
Indian River County, what's up?
Let's hang out.
ari shaffir
Kelly, go with one of these losers.
bert kreischer
Fuck it, I'll take your brother.
Evan, what's up, brother?
joe rogan
If you really had to be honest, being scientific about it, how much time do you think you could spend on a surfboard in a day?
bert kreischer
Okay, I got this.
tom segura
I got this.
bert kreischer
I got this.
joe rogan
Okay, go ahead.
bert kreischer
Easy.
tom segura
31 days.
joe rogan
Easy.
bert kreischer
In one month.
ari shaffir
Think of 30. Even amount.
bert kreischer
31 days.
unidentified
Yeah.
bert kreischer
If I did the math right and we did a work the system thing, definitely seven days.
ari shaffir
Seven full days of it?
bert kreischer
Seven full days.
joe rogan
24 hours a day.
bert kreischer
It would take a lot of work to get to different places.
ari shaffir
Just so you know what you're talking about.
You're talking about six hours and about 15 minutes a day on the surfboard.
bert kreischer
I'm wrong.
ari shaffir
Thank you.
I'm just glad I'm here to do the math.
bert kreischer
What did I say, seven?
ari shaffir
You said seven days.
bert kreischer
Four days.
ari shaffir
Okay.
tom segura
Four days.
joe rogan
Why four days?
ari shaffir
You're talking about a four?
bert kreischer
I cut it in half.
I cut it in half.
He's right.
ari shaffir
Because he's not doing six hours plus a day.
joe rogan
He hit you with some goddamn accounting logic and you panicked.
tom segura
96 hours?
bert kreischer
Yeah, 96 hours in one month.
unidentified
Hmm.
Hmm.
ari shaffir
About almost four hours a day.
bert kreischer
By the way, this is what I do is talk shit.
So, like, yeah.
joe rogan
Right.
But there's no consequences for you talking shit.
Do you feel bad about that?
ari shaffir
The only consequence is coming in last.
bert kreischer
Put him in.
I have no problem putting him in.
tom segura
Wait, is Bert buying dinner?
joe rogan
Okay.
Does it feel weird?
bert kreischer
I should buy dinner.
ari shaffir
You should buy dinner.
You came in last.
I can't believe you came in last, man.
I'll...
Yeah, but that's what I do.
bert kreischer
That's what I do.
ari shaffir
I was so worried about coming in last.
I came in second.
bert kreischer
Because you're afraid of consequences.
I like to live loud.
That's the difference between all of us.
Is that when we're in a liquor store in Atlanta and Prince starts playing, both of you fucking cunts hide in the corner until Bert makes it big.
unidentified
And then when Burtz makes it big, we all like to make it big.
bert kreischer
We all start dancing.
ari shaffir
Tom never liked it big.
I was forced into making it big for a short amount of time.
bert kreischer
You loved it big and you loved it big.
We all loved it big.
joe rogan
What did we love big?
bert kreischer
What?
When we did the video when we were all partying in Atlanta and Prince came on.
ari shaffir
But only you do that.
We did that because we're like, you seem to like this.
I'll let me join in for like 10 seconds of dance.
bert kreischer
It's fun.
Listen.
tom segura
I would never do that.
bert kreischer
You need a guy like me in your life.
I need you in my life.
I need all of you in my life.
joe rogan
You definitely change the tone.
You really do change.
ari shaffir
You do change the tone.
joe rogan
You change the party atmosphere.
bert kreischer
I like to get loud.
I know that it does drive people nuts.
But with my friends, I trust it, that it'll be fun.
There's no mean-spiritedness in it.
joe rogan
For sure.
100%.
bert kreischer
I wanted that belt so fucking bad.
unidentified
Yeah, you were never going to get it, though, right?
tom segura
Next year is surfing, man.
ari shaffir
Can I try it on?
joe rogan
Yeah, for sure.
tom segura
You and Bobby, who's your coach?
ari shaffir
No, I don't want it.
tom segura
Who's your coach?
bert kreischer
Billy.
tom segura
Billy?
bert kreischer
Billy Gardell?
Or Kelly?
ari shaffir
Billy Gardell.
tom segura
Billy Gardell's running coach.
joe rogan
Yeah.
bert kreischer
I wanted that belt so bad.
joe rogan
So did I, though, unfortunately.
Unfortunately, Joe got it.
unidentified
Sorry.
tom segura
Let's see.
unidentified
Oh, it's so heavy.
So much.
joe rogan
If you just could keep up there.
unidentified
It feels great.
joe rogan
Do you think there was any point during the month where you had a pace that you think you could have kept up where you'd been, like, you know, hitting, like, those 500-point days, like, day after day after day after day.
A lot of it is what we already had planned for the month, right?
You know, if you had that cruise, I had this hunting trip, which fortunately ended fairly early.
But if you were just going somewhere, if you had somewhere that you had to go for 14 days and you couldn't get a workout in, you were fucked.
bert kreischer
If I had just stayed home that whole trip, it would have been a very different contest.
Me too.
ari shaffir
I spent 10 days in LA without my gym.
bert kreischer
No, I agree.
By the way, we all experience that.
We all experience that.
I'm not using that as an excuse.
I accept that.
I would have loved to have been not on a cruise.
Because I get seasick working out.
ari shaffir
Also, you're with Fat Bobby Kelly as your motivation?
bert kreischer
Just Bobby Kelly.
joe rogan
Wow.
Sometimes that works.
ari shaffir
No, I thought he wanted to go by that way.
tom segura
Sometimes that shit works the other way.
Bobby did not work out.
You hung out for a week.
ari shaffir
Wait, Fat Bobby Kelly did not work out?
bert kreischer
Sorry.
Me and him just smoked cigars.
And by the way, that was a hindrance in me is that I'd smoked a bunch of cigars.
And so then when I got back to Tampa for like one day to work out, dude, I was like, I was coughing up.
ari shaffir
Bullshit.
I smoked cigars on my way home from the comedy cellar.
Seven nights of those that I was home, of the 20. And it worked out after I came home, smoked a cigar, changed, went to work out.
bert kreischer
We're different people.
ari shaffir
So, BS on you.
tom segura
BS on you.
joe rogan
He's definitely a different person.
tom segura
You have a different genetic makeup than the Mickey guy.
joe rogan
You know, some people are allergic to peanuts.
ari shaffir
Yeah, that's true.
bert kreischer
I got the Kelly Slater regime.
ari shaffir
I don't know how we did this.
joe rogan
That Conor McGregor regime.
We did it in a weird way.
This is how we did it.
We did it because we didn't plan on doing it.
ari shaffir
We did not plan on doing it.
joe rogan
When Tommy pulled up this idea and we were like, what?
It's like, yeah, I wear a heart rate monitor and it's a fitness app.
And we're all like, okay.
We were just looking for something to do.
ari shaffir
It's quantifiable.
joe rogan
We started out thinking it was going to be yoga again.
tom segura
I remember that it was the fourth and all you guys were mad at me.
ari shaffir
So mad.
tom segura
And I was on the road.
bert kreischer
What the fuck's up with these?
I don't get points for the red zone?
Are you fucking kidding me?
tom segura
I was like, these fucking guys are so pissed about this.
ari shaffir
We're mad at you.
We're mad at anybody.
This is like after 9-11.
We're like, attack them.
Like who?
Like anybody.
unidentified
Whoever's broken.
joe rogan
I didn't read into this stupid shit at all.
So when I got the app and I put the heart rate monitor on, I'm like, well, we'll just run to the death.
I was like, we're just going to run into the 90s as long as I can in the 90s.
bert kreischer
I thought you were so upset when you found out you don't get more points for 90. It didn't make any sense.
joe rogan
I'm like, you get as much points for 80% of your max heart rate.
That's 97. Yeah, that didn't make any sense.
That should be quantifiable.
But Tommy nailed it.
He's like, that shit would probably be like, highly litigious.
tom segura
Oh, yeah.
There's some lawyers over at my son that was like, you can't incentivize them.
ari shaffir
Not even people have to go to danger.
tom segura
No, no, no.
joe rogan
Here's what's interesting about that, though.
And this has actually changed some of my opinions on training.
Because I've never done that, where I didn't just do a lot of, like, really, like, go all outs.
I did this little...
I even slowed down the pace that I run up the hills.
But when I would get on the heavy bag, when I would do kickboxing, I had way more endurance.
Like way more endurance.
And it was interesting.
I was like, this is crazy.
I maybe did, over the course of the entire month, maybe 10 kickboxing workouts.
But by the end of the month, the kickboxing endurance has gotten way higher.
It was all just from running, and from doing the elliptical machine, and from doing the rowing machine, and doing all that other shit.
All that other shit just It's not as exciting to do, but if you do it, it ramps up everything around you.
Running hills.
ari shaffir
We've got to keep going.
We've got to do it once or twice a week.
We've got to keep going, right?
joe rogan
We have to keep going.
ari shaffir
We'd be crazy not to keep working out a little bit.
joe rogan
Yes, it's so hard to get where we're at.
ari shaffir
I was eating better.
You guys were too, right?
Where you started thinking like, oh, I don't want to eat sugar now because it's going to fuck over when I do this.
joe rogan
But here's the thing, and we should all talk about this, and maybe we should have a coach come on and talk to us about if we decide to do this again, what are our nutritional requirements?
Because I had one workout that was 4,700 calories.
ari shaffir
Yeah.
joe rogan
Okay?
That's an insane amount of food.
ari shaffir
You know what I never got from nutritionists and people like that, workout people?
It's like, legit workouts you can do.
joe rogan
Yeah.
ari shaffir
You know what I mean?
Not like, this is the best thing.
It's like, all right, all right.
But for my real life, I'm going to do it twice a week.
What can I really do and what do I got to eat a little bit more often that can help me?
Instead of like an all this diet.
joe rogan
We all talked about this is unsustainable.
tom segura
Totally.
joe rogan
At this level?
unidentified
There's no way.
joe rogan
It was my joints that I was unconcerned about.
tom segura
What if I told you you had to do 11,000 points this month, November?
bert kreischer
Hold on.
What if I told you I could beat you?
joe rogan
I could do it.
tom segura
You could do it.
joe rogan
No, I could do it.
What time is it?
What is it?
unidentified
Where are we at?
ari shaffir
No, you can do it now.
bert kreischer
Your fucking brain is broken.
ari shaffir
Yes, I could.
joe rogan
Fuck yeah, I could.
I did a thousand in a day.
You don't think I could do it?
ari shaffir
No, not from here on.
unidentified
Where are we on?
ari shaffir
We're in the fifth.
joe rogan
What's the bet?
bert kreischer
What's the bet I'm in on this?
A thousand in a day?
unidentified
What's the bet?
ari shaffir
Okay, if you get there, you suck my dick like you mean it.
But if you don't get there, you suck my dick like you don't care at all about it.
bert kreischer
Give me...
ari shaffir
What?
You could do it now?
You could do what you did before, minus five days?
joe rogan
100%.
bert kreischer
How about this?
joe rogan
I took three days off.
No, I took four days off.
I took three and another day.
ari shaffir
You don't think it would wear on you before you already did last month?
unidentified
Wait, hold on.
joe rogan
Hold on one second.
bert kreischer
Let's do the bet right now.
Let's do the bet right now.
We get one day next week.
ari shaffir
Guys, I'm going to Europe.
bert kreischer
Who makes the most points in a day?
ari shaffir
That's crazy.
bert kreischer
Who do you think can get the most points in a day?
joe rogan
Well, who's gotten the most points in a day?
ari shaffir
Rogan?
bert kreischer
By the way, by the way, by the way.
ari shaffir
Segura?
bert kreischer
Nope, I'm in on this hardest.
joe rogan
Burt was second.
ari shaffir
How many Burt got?
bert kreischer
740. Oh yeah.
ari shaffir
I got last most in a day.
joe rogan
Do you think you could have got 260 more points?
bert kreischer
I started losing a toenail.
It's the only reason I stopped.
tom segura
I gotta be honest with you.
The 640-something, something I got on a one-off, I didn't ever sit down because I had some days where I definitely did.
ari shaffir
Let's put a bet on next week.
tom segura
I'm saying it's possible that I did more than that in one day with two workout days.
joe rogan
Outside of the shit-talking, which is always fun, here's what we should really think about.
We definitely got all of ourselves into a really Really good level of fitness.
Think about the shit we did.
You ran 12 miles, you ran 15 miles, and then you rode 5 kilometers.
You ran a shitload.
You got 700 fucking points in a day.
We went crazy, boys.
We went crazy.
We achieved some very bizarre level of performance over the month in comparison to the average person that wears these things.
It's very weird.
So it's not that we should pat each other on the back, but we should look at what we did and go, what happened?
ari shaffir
That was possible, like Tom's saying.
That is possible.
So let's stop and think about that for a second.
That is possible.
joe rogan
Here's the other thing.
It happened and I feel great.
ari shaffir
I feel good.
I look good.
I look in the mirror and I'm like, I like that.
joe rogan
Dude, when you were doing the rowing machine and I was getting video of you...
tom segura
Rowing video is good, man.
ari shaffir
It looked so...
bert kreischer
Bro, I saw him naked on stage.
ari shaffir
It's exactly right.
bert kreischer
His dick has literally 100% outreach from his pubis.
Tom and I have a pushback.
joe rogan
Outstanding.
tom segura
I thought, I really thought, I was like, this is a movie montage.
When I watched his fucking Instagram.
Yeah, I was like, what if Ari's like, I gotta change my life, I'm going for it.
Like, he's really buying into it.
joe rogan
Well, he was changing his life.
tom segura
He really was going for it.
unidentified
No, I know.
ari shaffir
We did that podcast, like, I gotta work out, man.
Can I work out your fucking stupid gym for an hour or two?
But look at him.
Dude, right at the end.
Right at the end.
It's a perfect...
tom segura
Look at those abs.
Look at those abs.
ari shaffir
It's a perfect pull on the abs.
tom segura
Oh, yeah.
ari shaffir
They never look at it as much as they get like that.
tom segura
We'll never have jabs like that.
joe rogan
Look at that.
You're in the fucking yellow, son.
bert kreischer
After the surf camp.
tom segura
After chemo?
bert kreischer
Surf camp, bro.
joe rogan
Surf camp.
bert kreischer
We're going to beat them so bad.
joe rogan
We can't go to surf camp.
The rule is we don't do anything until October 1st.
bert kreischer
Me and Tom versus Joe and Ari.
ari shaffir
Damn, I like that body.
Look at that fucking thing.
joe rogan
You're jacked.
You're still jacked.
bert kreischer
Weird nipples, but yeah.
ari shaffir
A couple pounds of Mexican food.
That's it.
joe rogan
Ah, a little Mexican.
It's a big deal, bro.
But here's the thing.
It's not the thing, but here's a thing.
We pulled it off.
We pulled it off.
All of us did something we would have never expected.
bert kreischer
If you asked me on our first workout.
ari shaffir
Can you win a gym in Kansas?
No, for sure not.
joe rogan
You crush them.
Here's what's crazy.
If you think about the points, four points a minute is like hustling.
tom segura
Did you see that tally?
ari shaffir
What tally?
tom segura
They send you an email of your monthly tally of all the info?
ari shaffir
No, I haven't seen that.
tom segura
Wait, I'll read you mine, which will give you perspective on yours.
ari shaffir
You're right about in the middle.
tom segura
Yeah, so hold on.
joe rogan
All the calories you burn, all that shit.
Oh, it's preposterous.
Yeah.
But what's interesting is we didn't anticipate it at all.
ari shaffir
We did not anticipate this.
I thought it would be like an hour or so.
unidentified
So 3,000...
ari shaffir
How many minutes?
tom segura
So it says for the whole month.
First of all, it shows me the whole year leading up to October.
And then it says the 9538 MEPS, which is the measurement, right?
ari shaffir
Yeah.
tom segura
3,726 minutes I worked.
ari shaffir
How many hours is that?
bert kreischer
Is it October recap?
ari shaffir
How many hours is that divided by 60?
60. What?
60. 60 hours?
joe rogan
Oh my god.
bert kreischer
Wait, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, start over.
unidentified
I wasn't listening.
ari shaffir
Two hours a day.
joe rogan
He said he worked out 60 hours in a month.
tom segura
Yeah, average effort 70% for the whole month.
Calories burned for the month 47,843.
joe rogan
Wow.
unidentified
And average heart rate was 131 BPM. Jamie, I'm gonna send you this because I sent it to these guys already about what pussies we are.
joe rogan
Because there's a guy who went, he swam around the UK. That dude.
Have you seen that?
bert kreischer
Here, read mine.
joe rogan
Pull that up.
This guy fucking swam around the UK. Wow.
He swam, he burnt a half a million calories.
tom segura
This guy's crazy.
joe rogan
His tongue was falling apart?
jamie vernon
I believe I was reading that, yeah, because he spent so much time on the wall.
bert kreischer
Jesus Christ!
Oh my God!
joe rogan
His fucking tongue was falling apart, son.
And this guy swam around the UK. 157 days, swimming 12 hours a day.
bert kreischer
This guy will be on the Rogan podcast in two weeks.
joe rogan
He can't talk, son.
tom segura
He did good, man.
joe rogan
His tongue got eaten by barnacles.
unidentified
Yeah.
tom segura
Yeah.
ari shaffir
What?
tom segura
Bert worked out.
This is Bert's recap.
He did 4,098 minutes of working out.
66% effort.
Burned 46,258 calories.
joe rogan
Average heart rate, 120. You know what's brutal, man, is like a hard weightlifting workout.
Didn't give you jack shit.
ari shaffir
Yeah, when you got to that, you're like, wait, this doesn't make any sense.
tom segura
But that muscle expenditure is like way more severe.
joe rogan
Dude, I wrecked myself for 45 points one day.
I was like, ugh.
ari shaffir
Oh, yeah.
bert kreischer
It was different, too, when you got into running, like, legit running.
Because I would run 10 miles at night, and I would only get 200 points for it.
How'd you do that?
I'd just get up in the middle of the night and just run.
joe rogan
10 miles for 200 points?
bert kreischer
I know, yeah, because my heart rate wouldn't get over 130. Thank God for 24-hour gyms or your own weightlifting thing.
tom segura
You'd kill it.
You were killing it there.
joe rogan
24-hour gyms are interesting because you're dealing with psychos and, like...
Weirdos.
ari shaffir
Tweakers, but every piece of equipment you get, or if you have your own place, obviously every time is your own place.
joe rogan
Or maybe wizards.
bert kreischer
I can't believe you love that treadmill.
joe rogan
You might run into some person that's working out at 3 o'clock in the morning.
It's like a genius.
tom segura
Could be.
joe rogan
Just can't handle people.
tom segura
Could be.
ari shaffir
Steve Simone said he worked at Gold's Gym for a while.
He did?
Yeah, the difference between 4 a.m.
to 6 a.m.
between the tweakers to slowly become the winners who are getting a pre-work workout.
It was such a quick shift of type of person coming in.
bert kreischer
Where are we going to dinner?
unidentified
What do you want to tell people on the internet?
ari shaffir
Oh yeah, it's live.
joe rogan
Should we wrap this shit up?
unidentified
Yeah, yeah.
bert kreischer
Do you want to wrap it up?
joe rogan
Did we learn anything from this?
I think we learned what we're capable of.
unidentified
Let's go around the room.
bert kreischer
Start with Tommy Bunz.
What did you learn from this whole thing?
tom segura
Bizarly, I think I confirmed that I love a competitive event.
Right!
It brings me closer to you guys.
I actually like you guys more.
Even though I already liked you before.
I'm serious.
I feel like it makes me like you guys more because I'm like, it's kind of like that camaraderie of being on a team.
It feels like a team thing.
And yeah, I had that moment where I'm like, I'm capable of more than I thought I was capable of, which is like I'm saying, it's encouraging.
And then it kind of fucks with you too.
bert kreischer
Ari, what did you learn?
ari shaffir
I learned, one, that I actually am capable of working out.
I needed the competition to actually get to the gym.
Again, I said this in fucking January.
bert kreischer
You really did kill that.
ari shaffir
But I hadn't gone there until October.
I also learned how many people got into this.
It was nuts.
tom segura
Yeah, it was a lot.
joe rogan
Nuts.
ari shaffir
I went to a Jets game.
People were like, shouldn't you be working out?
And by the way, my favorite response is in one of these things, like How's Sober October going?
To any fan who walked by, I could just go, go fuck yourself, eat shit, kill yourself.
tom segura
That's what you would say?
ari shaffir
Yeah, all the time.
Hey, you enjoying being sober?
Why don't you go fucking kill yourself and your wife?
It was the best.
It went perfectly with it.
joe rogan
Like a fine wine.
ari shaffir
Yeah, and I realized that I actually can work out a little bit.
Maybe I should work out a little bit.
tom segura
That's awesome.
I did remember also on the 30th, the second to last day I was running, trying to get points, and a guy on a construction site was on a cell phone, and he did not look like somebody I would think would say anything to me.
And he's like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then he turns, he goes, hey, buns, I'm pulling for you!
unidentified
And he goes back on his phone.
tom segura
Ah!
unidentified
Ah!
tom segura
Yeah, it was great.
ari shaffir
So many people knew about it.
It was fun.
It was fucking fun.
joe rogan
At my kids' school, dads were coming up to me and saying, I'm doing Sober October 2. No shit.
Yeah, one more day, one more day.
Wow.
bert kreischer
What did you learn?
What do you feel like you learned?
joe rogan
The competitive drive was fascinating.
ari shaffir
Yeah.
joe rogan
I didn't anticipate getting that crazy.
I thought it was just going to be us having fun.
We would work out like last year.
Fifteen yoga classes is not that extraordinary.
tom segura
It still is.
ari shaffir
Every other day.
tom segura
It did take us till the latter, for sure, the latter part of the month, right?
We all did 15 together at like the 28th.
joe rogan
What I learned something last year, though, honestly, that carried over this year, that I decided to do nine yoga classes in a row to finish off my session.
I had like a bunch of weeks.
I had like a week plus later to go.
Like, if I wanted to make it to the end of the month.
I just wanted to get the 15 in.
And so I decided to do nine in a row.
And when I realized somewhere around, like, number seven in a row, I was like, oh, you could just keep doing it.
Like, you think you need time off, but you don't really need time off.
You just need to keep doing it.
And maybe you'll slow down a little bit.
Maybe you won't have as much energy.
But if you just keep doing it, your body will eventually adapt.
tom segura
But this is way more demanding, right?
joe rogan
But this is what happened with this too.
So what I realized last year by doing nine in a row, like your body just sort of adapts.
And then once I started doing like, I started ramping up the cardio sessions, and I was like, okay, if I just decide to get off now, I can get off now.
I can just stop now.
An hour and a half is a long time.
ari shaffir
Yeah, you'd be like set.
Like, uh-huh, 300 points.
joe rogan
You know what's better?
Five hours is better.
unidentified
Wow.
joe rogan
Let's see if we can do five hours.
Like we did an hour and a half.
We just got to do an hour and a half again.
Then we're almost there.
Then we're at three.
And then we do an hour and a half again.
Then we're at four and a half.
Then we're almost home.
unidentified
Keep going.
joe rogan
That's what this is all about.
This is why psychos like Lance Armstrong win the Tour de France.
It's not just because of steroids.
It's because he's a fucking psycho.
ari shaffir
The mental capacity.
Totally.
benjamin jaffe
He's got a mind of a werewolf and he figures out a way to win.
tom segura
I bet his daily workout right now, like whatever Lance does, today would fucking blow your mind.
joe rogan
Put a fucking my zones on that guy and it's over.
He's a super hyper competitive guy.
ari shaffir
The mental part of this, not just to go do it, but actually go, you need to go.
You need to leave your apartment, your house, and you need to go over there.
I know you want to do this, but you've got to go do it now for a couple hours.
That part was like one of the hardest parts.
joe rogan
I would get anxiety in the morning.
tom segura
What about you?
joe rogan
My alarm would go off, and I'd worry, I'd check your scores.
tom segura
Check the scores.
What did you learn, Burt?
ari shaffir
What did you learn, Burt?
bert kreischer
Oh, I don't fucking know.
tom segura
Come on.
bert kreischer
No, I was asking you guys.
tom segura
But what did you learn?
Something.
bert kreischer
I learned...
I learned that I have a lot more in me than I ever thought I had.
I learned that Ari is a sneaky fuck with a lot more strength than I ever thought I imagined.
joe rogan
You got angry that they were sandbagging, you said.
bert kreischer
I got angry a lot, yeah.
ari shaffir
You didn't want anyone to do anything out of the fucking...
bert kreischer
The same shit you got into, I got into too.
But just with you, I just thought it was a joke.
joke I didn't think you were really upset I was scared of you halfway through this what do you think Ari's gonna just sneak up on you?
joe rogan
you don't understand I didn't I didn't think you really believed you were going to double me.
I never thought that was real.
But I didn't have to.
I didn't have to.
I heard the words.
And so I decided to believe them.
bert kreischer
Dude, I used to think...
tom segura
Did you think I was going to beat you, Ari?
bert kreischer
No, I never knew you would beat me.
ari shaffir
You never what?
bert kreischer
I never knew Tom would beat me.
tom segura
Oh, me.
ari shaffir
Did you think I would beat you?
No way.
bert kreischer
No, not at all.
I thought you were so out of shape.
I thought it was a misjudgment of the system.
And then when we went on a hike together, I was like, oh, fuck.
I was like, oh yeah, of course, someone that's 100 pounds lighter than me would be in better shape.
That makes sense.
ari shaffir
Thank you, 50 pounds.
But yes, yes.
bert kreischer
But there's a lot I learned.
A lot I learned.
joe rogan
What did you learn?
bert kreischer
I learned that I... Number one thing is that...
I need this camaraderie to better myself.
Like, when you get challenged by your friends and you have this fun fuckery that just happens every day, it points you into a place that's better for yourself, in my opinion.
joe rogan
It's also really fun for people listening.
I got a lot of people that came up to me and said, man, I wish I had friends like you guys.
Because you guys are so silly and stupid.
All of you, rather, are just goofing on each other constantly.
And everybody's laughing, howling.
And it gives everybody that's listening to this this bizarre sense of camaraderie.
tom segura
That's true.
joe rogan
We got through this stupid fucking month where we're doing insane amount of exercise.
ari shaffir
Insane amounts!
joe rogan
And then at the end of it, we're like, what the fuck?
tom segura
We were talking about trying to win.
I called Burt one day and I was like, you know we're not athletes, right?
ari shaffir
We're not at all trained for this.
tom segura
I was like, we're not athletes, bro.
bert kreischer
Tommy goes, we're just comics.
And I went, no, we're not, bro.
tom segura
I was like, yes, no, it's time.
ari shaffir
What would you have come into that Shawnee competition?
Would you have been second or third?
tom segura
In the final scores?
ari shaffir
You would have been head of killer.
That's crazy!
bert kreischer
Legit places!
D1 athlete.
joe rogan
Crazy.
And she probably teaches a gang of classes.
But also, she probably never gets out of the green.
She's probably in super shape.
ari shaffir
I don't know.
joe rogan
She's probably doing it forever.
She'd probably bury all of us.
That's the thing.
What we did was, we just did a one month chaos run.
tom segura
It was.
joe rogan
We all survived, but I think we should be careful about this.
Because there is really a potential to damage your body doing stuff like this.
It's really fun.
tom segura
For sure.
joe rogan
But there's a weird potential for, like, when you hear about stuff like Rob Doe, and you're like, what?
What happened?
unidentified
I disagree.
tom segura
I didn't even tell you about the...
ari shaffir
Your potential for the positive is so much outweighs the potential for the negative that it's like, just do it.
tom segura
I'm not saying that this is one of the big negatives, but I don't know how any of you guys did with cramps.
I had...
Unbelievable muscle cramps the last two of the last three nights.
joe rogan
Well, I planned for that.
So I took a lot of electrolytes.
I took more than I needed.
I added Himalayan salt and water.
And one of the things that I realized, when you add too much Himalayan salt to water, your body processes it like food.
So all that water comes right through your butthole.
tom segura
Really?
joe rogan
Like a runaway train.
tom segura
Really?
joe rogan
Like a semi with broken brakes.
unidentified
Woo!
bert kreischer
Is that when you were just shitting water?
joe rogan
It's 34 ounces of water coming flying out of your asshole at Mach 1. It's crazy, dude.
Your body, when you drink salt with water together, your body goes, oh, this is food.
What is this?
Get it out of here.
Get it out.
ari shaffir
Woo!
It just comes out like water.
My asshole's blown out for a lot of those workouts.
unidentified
Oh.
joe rogan
It was hard.
Look at the amount of time that all of us were pumping our legs.
ari shaffir
It's crazy.
joe rogan
Jesus Christ.
ari shaffir
That doesn't make any sense.
joe rogan
It's just the fact that we got close to each other.
Well, all of us were preposterous.
Bert, you were all.
All of us.
unidentified
We were preposterous.
bert kreischer
I might have been the most preposterous.
joe rogan
No, we were preposterous in terms of a normal month of exercise.
tom segura
For sure.
joe rogan
For basically everybody.
tom segura
It's more than I've ever seen on one of those boards for 10 months.
I've never seen anything.
joe rogan
No, who the fuck's getting 11?
unidentified
No way, bro.
ari shaffir
Five digits.
joe rogan
Getting 11,000.
tom segura
I've seen 7,000.
ari shaffir
7,000.
tom segura
And that was like pretty nuts.
joe rogan
11,000 is taking to a terrible place.
tom segura
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
joe rogan
You've got to go to a terrible place to get to 11,000.
ari shaffir
It was only because we were all sort of pushing each other.
Because we didn't want to lose to Burt.
unidentified
We didn't want to lose to Burt.
joe rogan
Be honest with him.
He's right here!
ari shaffir
When Tom got 600-something, it was like, fuck!
But then it was also like, wait, I can do at least that one day.
I got one more day in me of that.
bert kreischer
That's the name of our show.
It's Beat Burt.
joe rogan
Tom, tell me what you and I talked about.
tom segura
I was telling him on the 31st.
I was like, fuck.
I got this.
I just flew to Tampa.
I got the next day in.
So I didn't even tell you guys.
I didn't know how it was going to affect.
So I was like, all right.
Because we had a cutoff of 10 Eastern.
I just got to the hotel.
I checked in.
I go right to the gym.
And I was like, man, this has been a fucking motherfucker.
And I got to work out right now.
I didn't know how...
And I knew you were six, seven hundred points ahead of me.
I just started and I was like, I just...
unidentified
I can't lose to Bert right now.
tom segura
I was like, I can't.
I can't.
And I had major anxiety.
I didn't think like, oh, I would suck to lose to Bert.
I had like crippling anxiety about it.
And I was like, alright.
I just kept going.
And I had a few hundred points.
I was already at least...
I didn't know if you'd synced up.
So I was at least 300 and some ahead.
ari shaffir
There's no sync.
The no sync was a real worry.
tom segura
Yeah, syncing was a real worry.
joe rogan
We have to make rules if we do this ever again.
First of all, we gotta get blood checked.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Because I think there's a real concern.
If we say...
ari shaffir
Oh, for doing drugs or alcohol, you mean?
joe rogan
No, no, no, no, no, no.
I mean, Rob Doe.
I mean, people dying.
unidentified
Oh, oh, oh.
That's okay.
bert kreischer
I think we should...
It would be cool to do this with doctors.
joe rogan
If we ever do anything like this again, I really think we should do it with doctors.
Because there was a point where I said, like, at the end, I was having, like, phantom pains.
I was like, am I okay?
tom segura
Yeah.
joe rogan
It just felt...
tom segura
The 31st was a bad day for me.
That travel day, that was a bad day.
bert kreischer
That's what you called Joe.
tom segura
No, no, no.
We talked to each other.
We're friends, bro.
joe rogan
Don't be jealous.
unidentified
First, I worked out in the morning.
By the way, you talk to everyone in here but me.
joe rogan
I talk to you.
You just don't call me.
bert kreischer
Oh, you fucking liar.
tom segura
I worked out in the morning and then flew to Tampa.
ari shaffir
On the 31st.
tom segura
On the 31st.
Landon went to the fucking gym.
I actually talked to you and then you.
And then an hour after you...
I spoke to him.
unidentified
And I was like, I see that I started 300 ahead of him, now I'm 200. 300 ahead of him means if you don't work out, he can catch you.
bert kreischer
Easy.
unidentified
Very easy.
tom segura
So I tacked on 200 more.
ari shaffir
Which means that you've got to work out.
tom segura
500 at least that I can see.
ari shaffir
Yeah, which is two and a half hours to catch you.
tom segura
But I didn't know, and I was like, what's up?
And I really believed him.
I was like...
I hear he was like chopping.
He's like, I'm cooking right now at the house.
Friends are over, blah, blah, blah.
He's like, I swear I'm done.
And I was like, all right, man.
And I hung up and I was like, I got to go for at least another 50 points.
bert kreischer
I walked into a different room.
I said to you, I said, I swear on my children, I'm done.
I go, when I say I'm done, I'm done.
I'm done.
And I go, we got friends over.
I had to go spend the day with Georgia with their thing.
I don't have time to work out and I'm not going to do it now.
I'm ready to get fucked up at midnight.
tom segura
Well, what I knew too was that I was not going to go another 500 to catch me.
I was like that.
ari shaffir
If you are going to go, can you please just tell me so I can actually take this dancing when I'm fucking out?
unidentified
Yeah.
bert kreischer
Part of it was very nice when Georgia texted me.
I got back from spin class.
Georgia was at school and texted me and she goes, hey, I need you to do the daddy lunch in set up at nine.
And it was like eight o'clock.
And I looked at Leanne.
I was like, I'm done.
I can't.
I got really angry.
She goes, honey, you lost.
ari shaffir
She goes, you lost.
bert kreischer
You lost.
Let go of it.
ari shaffir
I was so competitive.
bert kreischer
I was so competitive about it.
And I went, if I give it really hard today, I can definitely...
And she goes, just let go of it.
Be a dad.
And I couldn't let go of it.
I couldn't let go.
I had to go lay in bed and just go like...
I'm going to give myself 15 minutes to lay in bed and get my head straight.
joe rogan
Well, maybe we should consider this.
Maybe we should think that this competition is more of a time constraint issue and how much time you have.
ari shaffir
Yeah, for sure.
How much time you have is a lot of it.
It's not just being able to do it, but it's making time for it.
joe rogan
Right.
bert kreischer
It was super hard at times because you were like...
ari shaffir
Social functions.
We were like, I want to be able to do this with my friends right now.
I can't go with working out.
bert kreischer
But that doesn't matter because I know Joe's got two young kids and I would go, he's been there five hours, I'd go, fuck it.
ari shaffir
He's got a podcast every day?
joe rogan
Yeah, the thing is I book my podcast whenever I want and what I did was I just scheduled a time where I could work out for at least four hours before I had to be at the podcast.
unidentified
Jesus Christ.
ari shaffir
Yeah, you can come in here and do it until 20 minutes before a shower and be ready.
joe rogan
Sure, so if I had a noon podcast, my...
You know, the kids get up early.
I'm out of the house at 7. You know, at 7, I'm coming to the gym, or I'm going to, you know, work out in my yard, or I'm going to run the hills.
I run the hills a lot.
bert kreischer
I want to run those hills with you and your dog.
unidentified
Come on, man.
ari shaffir
We got a bunch of different routes.
Oh, I did it once.
It was fun.
joe rogan
I got a few different routes that I go.
Really?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Some of them are more steep.
One of them is way more severe in the beginning.
One of them starts out with a real heavy pitch.
It's a real steep, steep, steep beginning.
And then it gets harder and harder.
And in the end of it, you're running more of a downward slope to kind of cool down.
ari shaffir
Those are fun sideways.
joe rogan
Yeah, it's hard, man.
There's something about running hills that I really think is like, it's a survival thing.
It's like, if you want to get away, what do you got to do?
You got to run.
You got to get your body out of there.
You can't get your body out of there.
You got to survive, motherfucker.
It's a scary thing, running those hills.
Run!
Run!
bert kreischer
Hey, do you have a place that you could...
unidentified
What?
bert kreischer
I'm pretty hammered.
joe rogan
No, I'm just saying run, run.
Sorry.
You have a place where you can what?
bert kreischer
Buy elk.
joe rogan
I'll give you some.
bert kreischer
No, no, no, no, no.
I got a lot of it.
ari shaffir
No, I'm live elk.
bert kreischer
This whole time, this whole month, I would look at your meals and I'd go...
I want to start eating elk.
joe rogan
Okay.
bert kreischer
Is there a place that someone listening right now can go buy?
I can't find a place to buy elk.
joe rogan
No, you can buy some of it from New Zealand.
They'll sell it from New Zealand.
But you can't buy North American game animals in North America.
bert kreischer
I couldn't find it to save my life.
joe rogan
Yeah, that's because it's not for sale commercially.
They raise it in...
Hey, what's up, brother?
tom segura
So lit.
What's up?
bert kreischer
Let's go have dinner.
joe rogan
We're going to go have dinner.
They raise them in New Zealand, in particular.
New Zealand has a giant collection of...
tom segura
I forgot this one thing about Sober October.
It's that thing you've said before.
I thought about it a couple times throughout the month.
Your inner bitch thing.
Conquer your inner bitch.
We talk about that day to quit.
But every day...
Here's the thing.
I didn't even consider an inner quit voice.
Every day I was like, these three fucking cocksuckers are doing it.
So I definitely have to.
And I was doing, for a lot of the month, a lot of the month, I was doing two a days.
ari shaffir
Yeah, me too.
bert kreischer
It's crazy.
ari shaffir
It's crazy.
tom segura
I know.
So I'm saying, like, that's...
That was one of those things.
ari shaffir
We're not athletes!
tom segura
We're not athletes!
But the interesting thing to me was when you have friends involved, dude, the consideration of even, let's just lay here and chill, wasn't even a consideration.
bert kreischer
Yeah, it's like, fucking goddamn, I know it's going to be working out.
joe rogan
I was just seeing Burt with that strap on, talking shit.
tom segura
He was like, whatever a joke you do, I can double up on it.
joe rogan
I can't believe that's real!
Scream into the night.
tom segura
Burt.
Bert, I want to get a bottle of Cab.
I want a Pinot Noir.
Let's get like bonin, ribeyes.
We're gonna do it up tonight.
bert kreischer
Bro, I'm getting fat as fucked.
joe rogan
But here's the thing that Ari pointed out that I think is really important for us to honestly think about.
As human beings, we got to a very good state of fitness and we should really keep it.
We should really keep it.
We don't have to do this crazy, stupid fucking thing where we compare our points and we have a prize and a belt every month.
But it wouldn't be a bad idea if we stayed on this system or another system.
You know, just find out what's the best way.
ari shaffir
Attainable and good for you.
joe rogan
And here's the thing that's really important.
I think it'll help other people too.
There's other people who go like, I want to beat Ari.
I want to beat Joe.
I want to beat Tom.
I want to beat Bert.
I want to beat these guys.
I want to be a part of this.
And then what they'll do, as long as we emphasize this idea of don't fucking kill yourself, because I don't know how close we got to killing ourselves, but we definitely got close to breaking ourselves.
tom segura
You got close to it.
You got the closest, for sure.
ari shaffir
Your body broke down.
joe rogan
Well, I don't know what was going on.
See, here's the thing.
If it was rhabdo, that shit's super serious.
But my urine was starting to turn darker.
unidentified
I was like, okay.
tom segura
We didn't even talk about that you broke this bottle.
ari shaffir
Yeah, I did break a bottle.
bert kreischer
You sabered a bottle trying to open it.
joe rogan
I'm telling you, you should have seen some of my workout sessions.
They were confusing.
They were confusing.
It was like my whole brain had shifted over.
To this weird combat mode.
It was very strange.
bert kreischer
Jesus Christ.
joe rogan
It was very strange, man.
It was very strange.
For all of us, I think.
I think all of us.
When I looked at Ari, when Ari hit 479 points in a day, I went, oh shit, this is war.
ari shaffir
This is war.
It was going for him.
joe rogan
I was like, she's going for him.
ari shaffir
Once I got through those first five, six days, I was like, wait.
I don't need Michelle.
I think I can actually do this.
joe rogan
Dude.
tom segura
You were really gonna put that strap on her?
ari shaffir
There was no question, and she had no question about keeping her quiet, and I trusted her.
unidentified
Fuck.
tom segura
So what would your plan have been?
Just give it to her all the time?
ari shaffir
All the time?
bert kreischer
Dude, she runs 13 miles a day.
joe rogan
Absolutely.
ari shaffir
That's what I run.
bert kreischer
She's insane.
ari shaffir
Yeah.
tom segura
When would you have dropped it on us that you did that?
bert kreischer
Never.
ari shaffir
About a year later.
A year?
Yeah.
I would have kept it if not during this podcast.
Or I might have said during this podcast, like, hey, guess what?
unidentified
Fuck yourselves.
ari shaffir
I cheated the whole time.
tom segura
Would you have felt comfortable saying it only if you'd come in, let's say, second?
Or even if you had won?
ari shaffir
Even if I had won, especially if I had won, and you guys had to pay for some fucking fancy trip that you guys all decided on that I had no interest in?
unidentified
Jesus Christ.
ari shaffir
I would have taken it gladly.
joe rogan
I would give my heart rate monitor to Cam Haynes.
And then I would make a separate account, a backup account for myself, and I'd try to beat you on my own.
ari shaffir
A provisional ball.
joe rogan
But if I can't, Cam Haynes would definitely beat you, and then I'd be super humble about it.
But Cam Haynes did a great effort.
ari shaffir
How about we do this next year?
unidentified
I would've given my strap to Bert, and I would've fucking shown you up.
ari shaffir
And say, all of you guys join up, and just fucking show your stats.
joe rogan
And we surf to the death.
bert kreischer
I'm into this surfing thing.
joe rogan
I am too, because I don't know how to surf at all, and I've had two surfers on in a month.
ari shaffir
Really?
joe rogan
I had Kelly Slater, and we had Shane Dorian on just a couple hours ago.
ari shaffir
Dude, when they sit in the beach, and they push you, and you start actually surfing, it's fucking fun.
bert kreischer
Dude, surfers have the best body in the world.
unidentified
The best bodies!
joe rogan
Wait a minute, are you guys going gay on me?
bert kreischer
I will.
unidentified
What's that Total Psycho's name?
joe rogan
What's his name?
bert kreischer
Kelly Slater.
tom segura
No, no, no.
What's the big wave surfer in Maui?
bert kreischer
Oh, fucking Laird Hamilton.
Have you not had him on?
Have you had him on?
joe rogan
No, I have not.
bert kreischer
Dude, please get him on.
tom segura
That dude is a bad motherfucker.
bert kreischer
Laird Hamilton's doing a hot underwater workout thing.
Have you seen him?
unidentified
Yeah, he's a beast.
tom segura
Oh my god.
joe rogan
They're all beasts.
Surfers are like a very unusual athlete.
They're wrestling with Mother Nature on a fucking foam board.
tom segura
He gets dropped off of helicopters onto the weight.
unidentified
Really?
bert kreischer
Dude, Laird Hamilton is next fucking level.
joe rogan
There's a lot of those guys out there.
There's so many really fucking powerful big wave surfers.
bert kreischer
I want him on your podcast bad, man.
He'd be a great one.
tom segura
And he's been doing that for like, yeah, Gabby Reese.
bert kreischer
Gabby Reese went to Florida State.
tom segura
Yeah, she did.
Volleyball.
joe rogan
The thing about surfing, too, is you also have monsters in the mix.
unidentified
Yeah, sharks.
bert kreischer
Hey, hey, hey.
unidentified
What?
bert kreischer
It's already hard.
Did you say that Kelly Slater didn't want to talk about sharks?
Like, I listened to the podcast, and he was like...
joe rogan
No, he was talking about it a little, but I didn't think he emphasized it, because I don't think he thinks it's that big of a deal.
bert kreischer
He definitely, as a listener, he emphasized that they were there, that they are all there all the time, but he kept dodging it.
And I was like, man, it is one of those weird things where you look at a guy that spent that much time in the water and never had to deal with it, and then his friends have.
That's fucking insane, man.
joe rogan
Dude, sharks are fucking terrifying.
unidentified
That.
joe rogan
Imagine, I mean, you have no control in their world.
You're agreeing to being, like, a movement-impaired entity in a struggling alien world.
Like, you can't figure out, you can barely get by if you're thrashing your arms and legs, and a shark could just wiggle up and slap!
Take a big chunk out of your leg and you're dead.
bert kreischer
I was in the water with the great white open water.
ari shaffir
Open water?
bert kreischer
Open water, yeah.
ari shaffir
Scuba?
Snorkel?
bert kreischer
I didn't have a snorkel on, but I had a mask.
ari shaffir
Just looking down at them?
bert kreischer
No, no.
I was in the water with it.
I was out of the cage and there was a great white.
joe rogan
Oh my god, Bert.
bert kreischer
Dude, you can find this on...
I'm sure you can find this online, but...
It was, it was, all I knew is that it was the only animal I'd move with that had moved with that much intention.
Like everything they did was like, zoom, zoom, zoom.
Like the way you get attacked by a cat.
You ever been attacked by a cat and you're like, motherfucker, I can't stop it.
joe rogan
But dude, did you think at any point in time, like, this could be how I go?
I'm in the water with a shark?
bert kreischer
No, I've been in the water with Grey Whites a couple times.
unidentified
Fuck.
bert kreischer
But no, no, no.
joe rogan
Fuck.
Yeah.
bert kreischer
Grey Whites are overwhelming, man.
They really are.

joe rogan

tom segura

joe rogan

bert kreischer

Gentlemen, all bullshit aside, this is a really, really fun month.
It was great.
It made me really happy.
It was fun.
The camaraderie was appreciated.
It was exciting.
It was ridiculous.
ari shaffir
It was fun, but it was hard.
joe rogan
It was hard.
It was fucking hard, but it was also fun, and it felt good.
Even though I was like, fuck these guys, I'm going to kill these guys.
ari shaffir
God damn.
joe rogan
I still was like, wow, I can't believe what everybody's doing.
ari shaffir
Everybody was pushing so hard.
unidentified
So hard.
joe rogan
I would have never went as hard as I did if it wasn't for you guys.
There's not a chance in hell.
Not a chance in hell.
There's no way I would have gone that hard.
tom segura
No.
joe rogan
I've never gone that hard in my life.
If you had to put any 31-day month in my life and you put out how much effort I put forth.
unidentified
God damn.
joe rogan
That's as crazy as...
I probably would have been a better fighter if I trained that hard back when I was competing.
ari shaffir
For fucking three non-athletes and one guy was running away from the memory of his father.
We are fucking...
I don't know.
joe rogan
All of us.
Well, listen, we're all fucked up.
But what's important is we showed human potential.
ari shaffir
We show its potential.
joe rogan
Yeah, we showed that whatever we thought we were capable of, we were capable of so much more.
Now the question is whether or not we should continue to put out that kind of effort.
I say no.
But I do say that we've reached a really healthy, powerful level of fitness.
We should definitely keep up some of it.
ari shaffir
Yeah, we gotta try to do that.
joe rogan
But next year we should do something totally different.
tom segura
Totally.
joe rogan
Like, whether it's ballet dancing.

I love the surfing thing.
