Speaker Time Text
dave smith
I rarely watch the event live.
joe rogan
Hello, skanks.
dave smith
What's up?
unidentified
Hello.
joe rogan
We're live.
This is sort of.
big jay oakerson
Hell yeah.
joe rogan
We're recorded.
Good to see you, boys.
luis j gomez
What's up, Dougie?
joe rogan
Things got strange.
As soon as they said we're live, everybody's like, oh.
dave smith
Oh, man, we weren't having a great conversation.
big jay oakerson
People are listening?
joe rogan
We're a little too high right now.
big jay oakerson
People are listening to what?
joe rogan
Goddamn Mike Tyson weed.
luis j gomez
We really were just having the most natural conversation.
Everyone was going back and forth.
unidentified
Nothing.
luis j gomez
Ah!
big jay oakerson
Mike Tyson, we were talking when you went to the bathroom, Mike Tyson says he smokes $40,000 a week.
joe rogan
He also sells weed, so he just charges himself a lot of money.
big jay oakerson
He gets high on his own supply.
unidentified
There's no way you can smoke $40,000 worth of weed.
joe rogan
Maybe his whole crew.
big jay oakerson
To say it's about himself, there's no way.
unidentified
A month?
joe rogan
How much is $40,000?
I want to see what it looks like in a room.
dave smith
Yeah, I'm not buying that.
big jay oakerson
It would be a pile that you could fall into and take a nap.
You could definitely take a beanbag chair.
joe rogan
You could fly through the air and get your back with confidence.
luis j gomez
So how much is...
I mean, you're getting it in bulk, so it's going to be probably like $100 an ounce.
dave smith
It's getting even worse.
luis j gomez
Even less than that.
big jay oakerson
If you're going to spend $40,000, they'll give you more than $40,000 worth.
You know what I mean?
Just to be like, here, man, I don't know.
joe rogan
Look at what it says here.
We smoke 10 tons of weed at the ranch a month.
Oh, my God.
This is Britain said.
Eben?
Is that how you say his name?
Eben?
Eben?
Eben Britain?
So 10 tons of weed is $40,000.
That doesn't seem right, does it?
dave smith
None of that seems right.
luis j gomez
That's 20,000 pounds of weed.
That's impossible.
joe rogan
He obviously could have easily been joking and laughing while he said this, too.
We're reading it in print, but he's like, pfft, dude, we smoke 10 tons a month.
dave smith
Yeah, this is on the podcast.
big jay oakerson
It might be weed talk, that's what I'm saying.
joe rogan
Yeah, this sounds like something I would say.
big jay oakerson
More than you could ever possibly imagine.
unidentified
Keep burning, we burn it all the time, we don't even breathe in air.
big jay oakerson
I'm gonna throw out a wild number, 40 million.
unidentified
40 tons.
big jay oakerson
And they go, no, $40,000?
joe rogan
Someone should, some journalist should do, just make an image of this is what $40,000 worth of weed looks like.
dave smith
Yeah, it's going to be more than even Mike Tyson and his crew can smoke.
joe rogan
Wouldn't it fill this whole room?
big jay oakerson
I think it would.
Yeah, one of those shipping crates.
Somebody already did it.
joe rogan
There's a graph.
Is it even possible to smoke $40,000 of weed a month?
luis j gomez
900 eighths?
That's actually not that much.
With a crew, 900?
Think about it.
If you do...
Two grand blunts.
That's two blunts per eighth, essentially.
A little bit less.
joe rogan
This guy's got it broken down.
big jay oakerson
Yeah, but this guy really could just tell you how much it is in bulk.
He's giving you 900 eighths.
Seems a little bit lazy to even write.
luis j gomez
1,800 blunts between Mike Tyson's crew is not actually that much for a month.
joe rogan
It's not that much.
Now when I'm looking at how this guy's saying it, he's saying it's basically four blunts per hour.
That's totally possible if you've got a large number of people with you.
dave smith
I will never question Mike Tyson again.
joe rogan
Ever.
luis j gomez
This is it.
joe rogan
Ever.
luis j gomez
That's still not ten tons.
joe rogan
I think we're being silly.
I think they were joking around.
I bet a lot of it they give away, too.
You know, they might go through a personal stash of that much weed.
big jay oakerson
I didn't know he has a ranch.
joe rogan
Mike Tyson's in the weed game, son.
luis j gomez
All in.
joe rogan
Dude, he was one of the most fascinating guys to interview.
Because I couldn't believe I was really talking to him.
big jay oakerson
Yeah.
joe rogan
So I can't believe that's really Mike Tyson.
Like, there's some people, like, you talk to him, like, that's really Mike Tyson?
This is crazy.
It doesn't make sense.
big jay oakerson
What he's been through in his life, yeah, you're like, and now he's here somehow?
joe rogan
Knowing him as a kid when he was the fucking man.
And you'd see him on the cover of these magazines, like Kid Dynamite when he was 19 years old on Sports Illustrated, and just smashing everyone in front of him.
And then all of a sudden he's hanging with you.
dave smith
Yeah, it's very strange.
luis j gomez
And it's also just a fall from grace and then a resurgence.
It's still a weird resurgence, too.
Nobody ever saw him becoming a cartoon character and a fucking Broadway actor and a one-man show and now a weed rancher.
dave smith
That's bananas.
luis j gomez
Who saw that?
Nobody said that was going to be Mike Tyson's trajectory.
dave smith
I just hope he doesn't get me too'd.
big jay oakerson
The trajectory of when I found out who he was when I was a kid and started getting...
Very shortly after you saw what a monster he was was that Robin Givens interview where he just sat there like a doofus.
She was like, yeah, he beats up me and rapes my mom.
And he's like...
I can't tell me stewing and just going like, when these cameras go off, oh boy...
You better hope this interview goes on for four days.
joe rogan
Wasn't there some talk about them medicating him?
Wasn't that part of what was happening?
Like they were trying to sedate him?
dave smith
Maybe.
I just remember him talking about it in that documentary.
In the documentary, and he said he couldn't believe she was saying it, so he was just silent.
But if you watch it, it seems like he's furious.
And just trying to not say something angry.
joe rogan
Of course, the key to Mike Tyson is that he always seemed like he was furious.
dave smith
Yeah.
joe rogan
And he even talked about it once.
He goes, I'm just mad.
I'm mad at my dog.
I'm mad at everything.
And that's when he was at the top of the heat, man.
But now he's like this peaceful, friendly guy.
dave smith
He had to overcompensate for all that.
That's why he needs $40,000.
luis j gomez
It was all therapy, right?
He has to have like 20 therapists.
He beat up the first seven of them.
joe rogan
I mean, to be a great fighter, you have to be able to look at yourself.
You have to be able to look at your skills.
It doesn't mean you still can't make horrific mistakes, but you have to be able to look at yourself.
It's the only way you get any better.
The best fighters have an understanding, even if they have ego problems, they still have a pretty good understanding of who they are.
And that can benefit you if you use it.
I'm sure he probably went through therapy, but he didn't necessarily...
He could probably have figured it out on his own just because he's a smart guy.
He's a smart guy that grew up in a horrible, horrible way, where the first love he had was an old boxing trainer that turned him into a murderer.
That was the first love that guy experienced.
His life was horrible, man.
And from him being adopted by Custom Auto when he was a little kid, and having extreme physical gifts as well, it was this perfect storm.
Dude, they said when he was 13, he weighed 190 pounds.
Teddy Atlas used to bring him to boxing, these smoker events, and they were like, yeah, he's fucking 13. And they put him in with a 16-year-old, because nobody wanted to believe that a 13-year-old could be jacked like that.
luis j gomez
Well, when Jay was 13 years old, he weighed like 220. I think it's a different kind of weight.
big jay oakerson
Was it a different build?
I was knocking motherfuckers out.
joe rogan
He was built like a goddamn tank.
dave smith
Yeah, that's not a 13-year-old you want to fight.
big jay oakerson
Also, fun fact, he is the reason, Mike Tyson solely is the reason why now if you're on TV for even five minutes, they start scurrying about your tattoos being covered, or can you get a release for them all?
Because when he came on a...
Was it the Hangover movie?
The company that did, or the tattoo artist that did his face tattoo sued for like, I think won for like millions of dollars.
unidentified
What?
joe rogan
That's so crazy.
dave smith
How is that possible?
For doing the movie?
big jay oakerson
Because they used that person's artwork without them.
dave smith
Once you put a tattoo on somebody, you claim part ownership of that person now?
luis j gomez
It makes tattoos so much gayer.
big jay oakerson
It does.
luis j gomez
I'm going to walk around with some fucking dudes.
big jay oakerson
Oh yeah, this is when I married a lesbian in Alaska.
This is when I became, I guess, partners in life with a guy in Montreal who spoke French.
luis j gomez
Jay, how many tattoos do we have in common?
We have the same...
joe rogan
You guys have a bunch of tattoos in common?
big jay oakerson
One, two, three.
Yeah, we have the Dave Smith.
joe rogan
What do you guys have?
Here we go.
What's happening here?
There's a lot of people that can't hear this.
What are these things?
luis j gomez
This is Half Hearts and it says Dave and Smith.
dave smith
Wow.
joe rogan
So you are on their arm.
Did that make you uncomfortable?
dave smith
I did not consent.
luis j gomez
He's too much of a pussy to get a tattoo so we did it for him.
joe rogan
That's actually cute.
big jay oakerson
That's adorable.
joe rogan
That's real love, man.
You guys have to stay friends for life now.
dave smith
I know.
I was going to be out the door when they got this tattoo.
joe rogan
You know, girls want to get married, guys do that.
big jay oakerson
Alright, bro, I'm your bro.
joe rogan
I'm fucking tattooing your name on my leg, bro.
You gotta do mine.
big jay oakerson
Tattoo toys on your fucking leg, bro.
unidentified
Hey, you can have as many guys tattooed on your leg as you want.
I don't care.
joe rogan
I'm not jealous.
But I want my fucking name on your leg, bro.
big jay oakerson
There was a Worldstar video yesterday of a guy catching a girl cheating in a hotel.
And the other guy's, like, naked in the hallway, and she's, like, in her underwear, and the guy's just screaming at her.
There's a guy there, and she just fucking keeps going, and he's like, I got my fucking, your name tatted on me!
And she's doing all that, I'm sorry, calm down, I'm sorry.
And when she just decides that she doesn't give a shit anymore, she goes, well, no one told you to get my name tatted on you.
Now you look like a fucking asshole with my name tatted on you.
unidentified
Have you ever done anything for a girl, like a tattoo?
big jay oakerson
Yeah, so I have three Chinese characters here.
This is back when I was young enough, when a tattoo shop was able to convince you, which I think they still do to people, that Chinese characters can say or spell anything, which is just not true.
It's supposed to be letters, so I believed Chinese characters was CMS. They're still there.
They're just blended into something else, but it was Sherilyn Marie Sleeter was the name of my girlfriend.
dave smith
That's a terrible name.
big jay oakerson
Yeah, yeah.
luis j gomez
Sheryl Sleeter?
She sounds like she's got shit teeth.
big jay oakerson
Infamous.
No, good teeth.
luis j gomez
Sheryl Sleeter sounds like she's got fucking teeth pointing in every which direction.
big jay oakerson
Hot chick, actually, but just, I mean, coming from like a real pack of dummies.
Like, real stupid.
And so stupid, in fact, was she that I got those tattooed on me.
Thank God, in Chinese characters, CMS. Her mom didn't like me, and I came, and I couldn't wait to tell her mom that I got this tattoo.
I go, look what I got for your daughter.
And she's like, what is that?
I go, CMS. And she goes, what's that?
I go, your daughter's initials.
Sherilyn Marie Sleater.
And she goes, her mom, she was so happy to go, that's not your name?
My girlfriend was so dumb, she didn't know her name.
She just made up the Marie part.
Her name is Sherilyn Sleater.
And it was that, so I got a wrong tattoo of a girlfriend.
That's perfect.
She was with me while I got it and didn't know her own middle name.
Sat there confidently, like, make sure you get the M good.
joe rogan
That tattoo is wild, large patches of America.
big jay oakerson
Yeah.
joe rogan
That is that tattoo.
That tattoo like that, that's that fucked up, embodies so many lives.
big jay oakerson
Oh yeah.
joe rogan
So many people have made horrendous choices.
luis j gomez
Yeah, I had my first tattoo.
It just said, Lou Dog.
I gotta cover it up.
But Ludog.
L-U-D-O-G-G. Nobody has ever called me Ludog.
Except for afterwards, sarcastically, to make fun of me.
They're like, alright, Ludog.
dave smith
But you were so psyched to go tell your friends, hey guys, you're calling me Ludog, man.
luis j gomez
Well, it was weird because I only had $70.
And I was like, alright, dude, I have $70.
I'm 18. I just turned 18. I was like, I'm getting a fucking tattoo.
And I was like, alright, I'm getting Ludog no matter what.
But I gotta get a little design underneath it.
And then underneath it it was it was tribal like me almost it almost look like like antlers like tribal antlers but it was because I was poor something you would like scribble on a binder while you're boarding class Dude, it was a tramp stamp.
It was a tiny tramp stamp underneath Lou Dog for no reason.
big jay oakerson
Were you underage?
No, I was 18. I was underage.
That's why mine is the word J in Old English, and it is so high up here just so my mom wouldn't see it.
Saw it immediately.
Saw it immediately.
joe rogan
You have to hide it under your t-shirt.
luis j gomez
We were both fat kids, and I had a big fat arm, so there's a little tiny shit tattoo on my big fat arm, and your J is so tiny.
big jay oakerson
It's so tiny.
luis j gomez
Is it still there?
big jay oakerson
Yeah.
luis j gomez
Oh man, it's bad.
big jay oakerson
It's bad.
luis j gomez
Yeah.
big jay oakerson
It's that, yeah.
And then more Chinese stuff here.
And then a Pam Anderson barbed wire around my arm.
But I've just accepted that all my tattoos have some shitty dumb story.
joe rogan
In high school, my friend Jimmy was the first one to get tattooed.
And he got this really shitty, like, tiger on his arm with his name, in case he forgets his name.
You know, I think we were, like, 18 at the time.
Maybe 17. And he came home, and he had, like, a little Band-Aid peeking out underneath his shirt.
And his mom started screaming at him.
And I hope I'm not fucking this story up.
I hope I'm not.
But...
Like, I remember thinking that, like, wow, he was the first.
Like, everyone's got to get a tattoo eventually.
Like, the idea that someone's going to draw on you permanent.
Like, ooh, forever?
You've got to keep, like, it's a ball's move.
big jay oakerson
It's funny it never really hit me, like, that hard.
I know, and it's true, and by the way, I wish...
Talk about having a time machine.
If you can go back and just tell your teenage self, just wait until even your late 20s.
You're going to have a lot of good years with awesome tattoos, or you're going to make this decision now and have the rest of your life with some pretty shitty ones.
luis j gomez
You have no money when you're 18. There's no money for good tattoos.
big jay oakerson
I have $20 tattoos on me, for sure.
joe rogan
I was offended by the drawing because I'm an artist.
And I was looking at it and I was like, this is so bad.
The guy just traced it.
I mean, the guy was not an artist at all, whoever did the tattoo.
He was fucking just a guy who got a job doing tattoos.
luis j gomez
Who learned how to use the gun.
unidentified
Exactly.
luis j gomez
That's it.
He just traced it.
On my leg, I have a dragon, like another tribal dragon when I was 19 in Florida, in Miami.
We went on a boardwalk tattoo shop with Chinese people in the front.
Don't ever get a tattoo.
Unless you're in China and they're using the old tappy technique where they fucking do that.
Don't go to a shit bodega tattoo shop because that's what I got.
It's all blended together now.
And the guys had no idea.
It's painful as shit.
They don't know what they're doing.
The other problem with it is it's really painful.
They go too deep.
dave smith
They pull it out.
joe rogan
Well, that's another thing about henna.
Ladies or guys who are into henna tattoos, if you get those henna tattoos like in Thailand or something like that, sometimes it's not really henna.
It's hair dye.
And the hair dye can be poisonous to your skin.
It's not good stuff.
dave smith
You didn't even die getting a real tattoo.
joe rogan
Well, I don't know if you could die, but I think it fucks you up.
big jay oakerson
Getting painted on with hair dye?
joe rogan
I think there was a warning about this that I read.
They're saying don't get henna from places that aren't using real henna because they use cheap hair dye.
luis j gomez
They could have just stopped at don't get henna.
joe rogan
Yeah, you could have said that.
That's a weird one, right?
It's like, I want a tattoo, but not really.
dave smith
Yeah.
big jay oakerson
It looks like a spray-on tan's wearing off.
joe rogan
Yes.
luis j gomez
It just looks disgusting.
jamie vernon
PPD is in it.
Black can often contain PPD at high levels.
And when it applied to skin, it can cause chemical burns and allergic reactions.
And I don't know what PPD is.
joe rogan
I'm trying to find that.
big jay oakerson
Chemical burns?
joe rogan
Yeah, you gotta be careful out there, kids.
Don't be pouring chemicals on you.
big jay oakerson
Joe Rogan says, steer clear of Hannah.
joe rogan
Drill holes in your skin and pump some ink in there.
luis j gomez
There had to be some errors made when they were coming up with the first tattoos.
dave smith
People's arms were fucking falling off their body.
I'm pretty sure the first tattoos were like an Africa carving shit into your arm or something.
joe rogan
Yeah, like a scarring thing.
dave smith
Yeah.
big jay oakerson
When someone's a great tattoo artist, I'm always blown.
It's the most sloppy, uncomfortable.
The fact that I couldn't do anything near that with a pencil and art supplies and a set flat surface, to have to do that is great.
When someone's amazing at it, it makes no sense.
joe rogan
No, it doesn't.
big jay oakerson
Also, they're still just scribbling, basically, it looks like, and then they swipe it away.
luis j gomez
It looks like they're mad at you.
joe rogan
I found the craziest fucking page.
Jamie, I'm going to send it to you.
This is a lady, and she does paint on people's face that makes it look like they have extra eyeballs.
And the paint is so accurate, you're looking at a video of it, and you're like, what the fuck am I looking at?
I have to say.
luis j gomez
Oh, is it the Asian chick?
Because she makes herself into different...
That chick is fucking talented, what she does with makeup.
And she got in trouble because she did blackface, but she does everything.
She didn't do blackface.
She made herself into an African Nubian princess that was the most amazing thing in the world.
joe rogan
Is this her?
big jay oakerson
But it still has the outline.
luis j gomez
She's chucking and jiving.
You got it?
joe rogan
Mimi Choi?
big jay oakerson
I'm a newbie and princess.
Where are you talking?
joe rogan
Her name is Mimi Choi.
This is the shit she does.
unidentified
Whoa!
joe rogan
Look at that.
Dude, that's insane.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Your head, she's got eyeballs drawn all over her face.
luis j gomez
This is Joe Rogan's perfect woman.
big jay oakerson
Well, that's like a tool video.
joe rogan
Yeah, it does!
Dude, she's a fractal.
That is something you would see if you were on some serious drugs.
big jay oakerson
And this is the kind of shit you gotta pretend to enjoy if you wanna fuck a hot Asian chick.
I'm super into New Dance.
joe rogan
Like, look at that.
luis j gomez
Oh, this is a different chick than I was thinking of, but I guess it's a category.
It's cool.
joe rogan
It's crazy.
If you scroll down and look at some of the eyeball ones, where the extra eyeballs are below her face...
dave smith
Oh, Jesus Christ, that's trippy.
joe rogan
Dude, it's a fucking freakout.
unidentified
What the fuck?
joe rogan
It's a fucking freakout.
luis j gomez
Yeah.
joe rogan
Yeah.
big jay oakerson
That's so weird.
joe rogan
Yeah, it's wild.
It's that same sort of level of tattoo art that the really high-level tattoo guy...
Have you seen that guy Steve Butcher?
I've showed you that guy before, right?
luis j gomez
If that guy walked into a room, I would think that it's a monster and I would kill it.
joe rogan
Yeah, you're like, what the fuck?
dave smith
That's terrifying.
joe rogan
Someone drugged you.
luis j gomez
Yeah.
joe rogan
It's like, oh my god, Satan is real.
I've been running around arrogant thinking that Satan's not real.
Yeah, this is Steve Butcher.
Steve Butcher does insane shit, man.
He did one of me.
Somebody got me tattooed on their leg, and it's fucking incredible.
luis j gomez
How do you feel about that, Joe?
joe rogan
So weird.
Don't do that.
Don't do that.
unidentified
You can't say it to the guy when he sends you the fucking...
Stop.
joe rogan
Just stop.
big jay oakerson
A guy got Legion of Skanks tattooed on his face, and you look at it and you go, that's awesome that you want to do that, but man, maybe you shouldn't have.
luis j gomez
He had a bunch of other face tattoos, though.
It wasn't the first one.
big jay oakerson
It's true.
joe rogan
Look at that Kobe Bryant.
Scroll up a bit.
Look at that Kobe Bryant.
He's got the t-shirt in his mouth.
Get the fuck out of here, man.
That might as well be a photograph.
That's crazy.
Like, look at the resolution.
Look at the sweat.
big jay oakerson
If you said to me, what's the one thing you can't draw, I'd say black people sweat.
That's crazy.
And this guy pulled it off somehow.
If I was throwing that, it would just have white drips down his family and you got like bukkake'd.
joe rogan
Make that bigger, Jamie?
That guy did that with needles, man.
I mean, that's insane how good that is.
dave smith
Yeah, somehow it doesn't seem nearly as weird to get athletes tattooed on you as it does comedians.
joe rogan
No, it does.
I'm sure Kobe's running around going, damn, dude.
luis j gomez
It's a little different, though, because people grow up on like...
I mean, that's not true, dude, because the connection that people feel with comics and podcasts, it's pretty...
joe rogan
I get it.
You know, it's like, we don't want the responsibility.
We want to do it, but we don't want the responsibility.
dave smith
I don't want the responsibility of being your shin.
luis j gomez
I 100% want my fucking face tattooed on people.
So anybody out there, I'll give you a free Legion of Skanks t-shirt.
joe rogan
As long as it says, there's the dude.
luis j gomez
Wow.
dave smith
It's a good tattoo.
joe rogan
As long as it says, Lou Dog.
luis j gomez
Yeah.
That is crazy.
joe rogan
That is as accurate as a photograph.
That's my fucking face.
That's my face.
luis j gomez
That's fucking intense, Joe.
unidentified
He's amazing.
joe rogan
Yeah, I don't remember what that's from.
I was probably making a point.
big jay oakerson
Whatever it was, you were right.
joe rogan
That's the problem with me, man.
If you get any one clip of me or my face, you can make decisions.
luis j gomez
That's an incredible tattoo.
dave smith
That's the first time Joe saw Ari's butthole.
That was my face.
joe rogan
There's no way I can remember that far back.
big jay oakerson
I think Ari's...
joe rogan
He's said so many times.
big jay oakerson
I think he's in the process of getting his butthole fixed.
joe rogan
Is he going to get surgery?
big jay oakerson
Yeah, I think so.
luis j gomez
Is it the surgery?
joe rogan
He's been bleeding since I've known him.
big jay oakerson
It's bizarre that he just lives life like that.
That's a problem that would shut me off from going out to the world.
joe rogan
What causes those things?
Hemorrhoids.
What causes hemorrhoids?
luis j gomez
I got hemorrhoids working out because I wasn't breathing when I was lifting weights.
And I was just...
joe rogan
Just clenching.
unidentified
Just clenching my butthole, and it just popped out a little fucking...
big jay oakerson
It was like squeezing a balloon animal?
luis j gomez
Yeah.
joe rogan
You made blisters inside your butthole from squeezing it together.
luis j gomez
And it sucked for a while.
Well, this is actually how we got introduced to Ari's butthole, was I was complaining about me having hemorrhoids.
And on Legion of Skanks, we opened up my butthole to show them.
I showed all the guys.
dave smith
Lewis did it.
We didn't all open up.
big jay oakerson
And Ari said, that's not a hemorrhoid.
dave smith
And we were like, what?
big jay oakerson
That's a hemorrhoid.
unidentified
Ha, ha, ha, ha.
luis j gomez
You call that a hemorrhoid?
joe rogan
Oh, that's hilarious.
big jay oakerson
Step aside, little lady.
Let me show you a hemorrhoid.
luis j gomez
And it was like, you know, in Stranger Things, the fucking monster, the way the face opens up, that's what Ori's asshole does.
joe rogan
It looks like Homer Simpson's mouth.
big jay oakerson
Yeah, remember like the blade?
Remember the blade vampire mouths when they evolved?
And they opened like Predator?
Predator's mouth.
It looks like it's baggy, but just because it opens a lot.
joe rogan
What's the way it opens?
luis j gomez
How does he get away with what he gets away with, dude?
Because he keeps tissues in his asshole at all times.
And if you're with Ari, at one point he might just throw a bloody tissue at you.
big jay oakerson
I get staying away from the doctors.
I get it.
But if you're actively bleeding out of your asshole, I'd be on an operating table, face down, quick.
Quick!
joe rogan
I think it's a real pain in the ass to get the surgery.
big jay oakerson
Yeah.
joe rogan
I liked it.
He's dealing with it as is.
I'm glad he's going to get it fixed though.
It's troublesome.
How many times did that guy send you a picture of bloody toilet paper?
dave smith
I've seen way too much.
Way too much.
big jay oakerson
The most impressive thing to me is that Ari historically has just crushed ass.
Like hot chicks.
Walking around with...
joe rogan
He's a brilliant guy.
big jay oakerson
He's confident walking around with napkins up his ass.
luis j gomez
He's also weirdly handsome.
Like, you don't think you see him, you're like, alright, that's a fucking goofy, camel-faced fucking asshole.
unidentified
Yeah.
luis j gomez
But then you look at him again, he kind of has dreamy eyes.
joe rogan
Dreamy.
luis j gomez
And he's in good shape.
I don't know, man.
joe rogan
He got in good shape for Sober October.
He was a fucking animal.
I knew that he was going to be a real problem.
He was trying to win that goddamn thing.
luis j gomez
That's not fair, dude.
You can't fucking have an athletic competition with all of your out-of-shape fat friends.
joe rogan
It's not fair.
It's certainly not fair.
But they were willing to do it.
I'm like, okay.
Good luck.
I'm like, look, we're going to work out seven days, six hours a day.
Can you do that?
We're going to have to do that.
We're going to see who drops.
This is not smart.
big jay oakerson
And they're saying because they're sober.
joe rogan
Ari came the closest.
Ari got close.
He got close.
He went hard.
He went fucking hard.
If Ari was in shape going into it, he probably would have...
luis j gomez
What's the parameters of winning?
How do you win?
joe rogan
This is last year.
Last year was the only time we made a competition.
And I think it's better off not being a competition, honestly.
I think the first year we had to do 15 yoga classes over the month.
15 90 minute hot yoga classes.
Which is annoying.
It's annoying.
Like, you don't want to do it, but you have to do it.
Like, when you get in there, all right, number seven, and you're starting to think, how many more days are there?
I'm going to have to do a bunch in a row.
I wound up having to do nine in a row.
So I did yoga nine fucking days in a row.
But there was no competition.
But we just had a requirement.
And everybody met the requirement.
We felt good that we accomplished the goal together.
But then everybody started talking crazy.
They wanted to do a competition.
And Tom was like, yeah, let's wear these heart rate monitors.
I'm like, okay.
Alright.
We're all gonna die.
unidentified
So what was the...
joe rogan
How did you...
luis j gomez
How would Aria have won?
Like, what was the...
joe rogan
It's a point system.
Okay.
It's based on 80% of your heart rate, right?
So it finds your max heart rate, and then, you know, 80% of that gets you X amount of points, and 90% of that gets you Y amount of points.
I forget what it is.
luis j gomez
Over the course of time.
joe rogan
Yeah, but you can't really maintain 90%.
90% is like these sprints.
The real smart move is to stay at 80 and go long term.
So we were doing these cardio workouts.
It's all just in your head.
Because it's not hard to do.
It's not hard to do an elliptical machine.
It's an easy motion.
So it's all in your head.
And all you do is you wear this fucking heart rate monitor.
And what I did is I watched the murder scene from John Wick where he goes into the Russian bathhouse over and over again on a loop.
For five hours, and I just stayed on the fucking elliptical machine for five hours watching that scene.
I'd get to the end of it, and I'd rewind it, and I'd watch it again, and I'd be like, ah!
The music popped up, and I did it for fucking six hours a day, seven hours a day.
luis j gomez
Six hours a day?
That's psychotic.
joe rogan
Well, we were having a competition.
unidentified
It's almost to the point where it's probably not healthy to work out that much.
joe rogan
It's not healthy.
big jay oakerson
It's definitely not healthy.
We were competing.
joe rogan
We were going to hell.
I'm like, we're going to hell.
big jay oakerson
There's no way Burt Kreischer was doing anything like that.
joe rogan
Burt Kreischer was the one who talked the most shit, so I would think about him while I was getting tired.
I was like, there's no way, bitch.
There's no way.
You're going to die.
unidentified
We're all going to die.
joe rogan
Let's just go.
We're going to go until there's no sleep.
big jay oakerson
Is there an advantage to starting off being one of the fattest guys because you can lose more?
joe rogan
No.
Your body's going to have a hard time recovering.
luis j gomez
But 80% of your max heart rate is different than 80% of my max heart rate.
So technically, I don't have to work as hard as you.
You'd have to run seven on a treadmill.
I could run at a 4.5.
joe rogan
No, I think it's based on your age as well.
So the max heart rate's different.
So it might actually be easier.
Because he's just used to doing it.
It's all about your body being used to doing it.
luis j gomez
Yeah, if you're used to working out that much.
joe rogan
80% is only like 140 beats a minute.
Or maybe a little bit more, like 146 beats per minute.
That's not that bad.
You can kind of do that for a long time.
You just...
unidentified
What's like...
joe rogan
Just watch something that's engaging and make sure you keep breathing at that rate and you get trapped in whatever you're watching.
And for me it was fights too.
That was a big one.
I just put on some great fights.
So I got a TV right in front of me and I'm on this fucking elliptical machine watching fights and I would drink gigantic jugs of water with Himalayan salt and all these different...
That keeps your heart rate up?
No, to keep you hydrated.
luis j gomez
Keep you alive?
dave smith
Oh, okay.
joe rogan
I sweat.
luis j gomez
For the sweet, sweet, deliciousness of water?
joe rogan
I sweat so much that I set off the fire alarm.
unidentified
What?
joe rogan
I filled the room up with so much steam that the fire alarm went off.
I filmed it.
dave smith
Good fire alarm.
joe rogan
I put it on YouTube.
Or on Twitter.
What is it on Instagram?
It was ridiculous.
luis j gomez
Dave, you make me so mad.
Dave's never worked out a day in his fucking life.
dave smith
No.
There's got to be a few.
joe rogan
But he looked good.
unidentified
Yeah, he looks good.
luis j gomez
He's handsome.
joe rogan
My point was Ari got close.
He got close to me.
He wasn't even working out.
That's how crazy Ari is.
dave smith
And then you have to deal with the fact that you're doing this publicly and you can't allow Ari to beat you at this thing?
joe rogan
I wasn't allowing Burt.
If Ari beat me, I would have said, wow, man, that's really, really impressive.
But Burt, there was no fucking way.
dave smith
If Burt wins, you have to quit?
joe rogan
No way.
Tom, if Tom beat me, I'd be like, dude, you did it, man.
unidentified
Wow.
joe rogan
I wish I won, but you won.
Bert, no way.
There's no way.
We're going to hell.
dave smith
You just leave, we never hear from you again.
joe rogan
We're going to the dark lands.
I'm wearing that Matarami all day long.
I'm just going to be lifting weights everywhere I go.
big jay oakerson
How far back was Bert in the standings?
unidentified
For last!
big jay oakerson
Of course he came in last.
joe rogan
He's barely working out.
unidentified
He's talking shit.
dave smith
What if he do it?
unidentified
He wins!
joe rogan
He wins!
dave smith
Was it a marathon he ran or something?
luis j gomez
Half marathon or half marathon?
unidentified
No, no, no.
joe rogan
He ran a full marathon.
dave smith
I mean, that was pretty impressive.
big jay oakerson
That's insane.
joe rogan
Bert's tough.
All bullshit aside, Bert talks tremendous amounts of shit.
That's why I didn't want to lose to him.
But Bert's tough.
luis j gomez
I think he also talks shit to sort of set the expectation for himself.
Because if he says it, he's gonna fucking have to stick to it.
big jay oakerson
That's a very Lewis thing.
Lewis speaks very declarative about things.
And I'm like, why do you do that?
luis j gomez
Because I hold myself to that standard.
If I say I'm gonna lose weight publicly and then I don't, everyone gets to call me a fucking phony.
And if I keep it in my head, I probably will be more likely to skip the gym or whatever else it is.
joe rogan
That's really wise.
That's really wise.
That's a good strategy.
dave smith
If you fail, it works for better podcasting.
luis j gomez
It's also true.
joe rogan
And it's like public acknowledgement of your failings when it comes to little goals that you set for you.
It lets everybody know, hey man, this is not easy to do.
luis j gomez
We live in a social media generation.
I need people to tell me, dude, you're losing weight.
And when they stop telling me that, I get fat again.
And then they're like, oh, you're getting fat.
And then I start losing weight again.
It's almost that...
The attention is sort of what motivates me.
I need something beyond just being healthy.
joe rogan
How much time have you spent researching different methods of losing weight?
You looked into intermittent fasting?
luis j gomez
Yeah, I've been obsessed with you.
big jay oakerson
I want to try that, but I still don't fully understand what it is.
joe rogan
It's simple.
You just have a small feeding window.
For me, I like to fast.
I feel at my best when I'm fasting 14 hours.
So what I'll do is...
If I eat at 8 p.m., then I eat at 10 a.m.
the next day.
It's not hard.
luis j gomez
I was doing 12 p.m.
to 7 p.m.
I was eating.
I could eat from 12 p.m.
to 7 p.m.
But I wasn't really eating healthy things.
big jay oakerson
That's what I was going to say.
luis j gomez
When I was doing intermittent fasting, I was eating shitty.
What I'm better at is if I just cut out most of the carbs.
I'll eat fruit and shit like that.
But if I cut out all the carbs and the burgers and the fucking bread and the pasta and the rice...
I can manage that because I can get creative.
And if I'm in the mood for pizza, I can figure out a low-carb version of pizza.
Cauliflower crust or whatever it is.
big jay oakerson
Oh, gay.
joe rogan
You know what you should do?
luis j gomez
It's really delicious.
joe rogan
Do all those things, but also lift weights.
luis j gomez
Yeah, I have been.
I just started again, like two weeks ago.
joe rogan
That's a big one.
Lifting weights is huge.
It burns a shit ton of calories.
And more importantly, when your body has more muscle, then your body burns more calories.
So you could eat the same amount of food and you lose weight.
dave smith
You could do all that or, Lewis, I know you, just fist fight a comedian.
joe rogan
When I say lose weight, I mean you'll lose body fat.
big jay oakerson
Joe, you eat like tons of meat.
joe rogan
I eat a lot of meat.
big jay oakerson
Have you gotten gout stuff ever?
joe rogan
No, I don't think gout's from meat.
Isn't that like a wine disease?
What do you get gout from?
unidentified
Meat.
big jay oakerson
A lot of meat and beer?
luis j gomez
I don't even know.
It's in your feet?
big jay oakerson
It's in your toe.
It's your fucking right big toe.
It sucks.
luis j gomez
I think you're sitting in a chair for too long and eating too much meat.
I think it's all those things.
joe rogan
I think you can get your heel, too.
Doesn't it fuck your heels up, too?
big jay oakerson
Maybe.
I don't know.
I only had it hit twice ever in my toe.
It was awful.
luis j gomez
What, you had gout?
big jay oakerson
Yeah, and by the way, it hurt so much that when I went to the doctor, I was like, I'll take, because you can get medicine for it every day you take, so you don't get it, and I would have absolutely taken that as how much it hurt, and they'd go, no, you don't have a condition.
I think I just went to a festival of concerts one weekend.
luis j gomez
You were a little gouty.
big jay oakerson
Here's the definition.
joe rogan
Here's a definition.
Gout occurs when urate crystals accumulate in your joint, causing inflammation and intense pain of a gout attack.
Urate crystals can form when you have high levels of uric acid in your blood.
Your body produces uric acid when it breaks down purines, substances that are found naturally in your body.
big jay oakerson
I got piss blood.
joe rogan
That still didn't answer my question.
What's your main cause?
Here it is.
big jay oakerson
I got pee blood.
luis j gomez
He's up on the uric acid.
joe rogan
Certain foods.
Meat, poultry, seafood.
Hmm.
Chemical compounds that are high amounts in certain foods like meat, poultry, and seafood.
That's interesting.
luis j gomez
I think you also have to be fat.
joe rogan
Hypo uremia.
luis j gomez
Do non-fat people get gout?
joe rogan
Yeah, my friend was not fat.
unidentified
Hyperuricemia.
big jay oakerson
It sounds like something that a fat person should only get, though.
luis j gomez
Dude, I lied.
I was on a flight yesterday and I lied because we were on the runway for two and a half hours and I was just getting really impatient.
I was like, I'm fucking hungry.
I made up that I was hyperglycemic to get food.
I buzzed the thing and they wouldn't come.
So eventually I started just like waving like a madman.
And Mike Fennoya, who's a friend of ours, a comic, he was a few rows up.
That's how he knew I was on a plane because I was being a lunatic.
And I was like, we've been on here forever.
I'm hyper-lycemic.
I need food right now.
Man, I'm like, go get me orange juice.
It was the most fucking embarrassing thing.
big jay oakerson
Like, here, suck a lemon.
Keep getting me things.
luis j gomez
Dude, two and a half hours out of goddamn memory.
big jay oakerson
When you're angry on a plane that's not going anywhere, I'm blown away by the amount of rules.
We've been at the gate for like two hours before.
I'm like, can I just go back into the airport?
And they're like, no.
It doesn't make any sense if you can.
luis j gomez
Can you leave and not take the flight?
You're like, I'm off.
I'm going.
joe rogan
I think you can.
big jay oakerson
Unless the door is closed.
joe rogan
But it's a big deal.
If you want to leave, that's a big deal.
big jay oakerson
But as a Puerto Rican, if you do leave, Louis, you have to twerk on your...
I don't know if you watch those videos.
When people leave planes, they go, fuck y'all, fuck!
They always twerk their way out.
joe rogan
You will get put on a list, for sure.
They will check up your asshole every time you fly on a plane.
big jay oakerson
Well, Louis already has that problem.
luis j gomez
Well, me and Kim flew.
joe rogan
Am I guessing?
Do you think they would probably check you?
I don't know.
If you decide, I want off the plane right now.
big jay oakerson
If you make a scene or not, yeah, probably.
joe rogan
And they have to pull the plane back into...
They'll be like, this guy?
big jay oakerson
That's my guess.
I don't think you're not going to get off unless you make a scene.
You won't get off once it's away from the gate.
I'm talking about when they stay at the gate and they never actually pull away from the...
joe rogan
When you're on a plane, you're just hoping everyone can keep it together.
That's what you're hoping.
Just hoping everyone can keep it together.
big jay oakerson
What's your craziest plane experience?
joe rogan
I've never had a bad one.
big jay oakerson
I hate flying, and I've had plenty of weird ones.
joe rogan
Two dudes did almost get after it once on a plane over overhead space.
This one guy was claiming the space overhead...
luis j gomez
There's only four or five arguments you could have on a plane.
big jay oakerson
Over at space, middle person gets both armrests.
joe rogan
One guy was on this side, right?
But his shit was all filled up.
So he opens up the bin on the other side and puts his bag in and sits down.
And the guy who was behind him, that was his side.
He goes, hey man, that's my storage space.
He goes, no it's not.
He goes, it's storage space.
I put my bag in there first.
I was ahead of you.
I put my bag in there.
He's like, no, you have yours, and I have mine, and yours is full, and he goes to grab his shit.
And the guy goes, hey man, don't touch my fucking bag.
luis j gomez
That guy's right, by the way.
The guy who took the other storage space?
It's not your personalized storage space.
joe rogan
It's just storage space.
unidentified
Sorry.
big jay oakerson
Well, in first class, I wish one of those degenerate fucks from the back would try to put some shit in my storage space.
luis j gomez
I flew first class one time.
joe rogan
They almost went after it though.
The waitress had to cut them off.
We're in the air.
luis j gomez
The waitress?
joe rogan
We're in the air and they're going at it again.
They were going at it when the plane was about to take off and then they got through it and in the air they were going at it again.
The waitress, the stewardess.
She cuts them off, wouldn't let them have alcohol, but it was tense.
So it's like, you know, you have to keep an eye on it.
big jay oakerson
I was going to say, did you keep your eye on it like the whole time?
joe rogan
She made me.
The lady made me.
She's like, you're going to help me, right?
I'm like, Jesus Christ, lady.
I don't think anything's going to happen.
luis j gomez
Well, yesterday, the woman behind me, as I was complaining, she was like, yeah, you know, he was like, well, what do you want to do?
I was like, some orange juice, some coffee, maybe a kind bar, that'd be nice.
And the woman behind me goes, she said like, loud enough for me to hear, she goes, just get him some orange juice.
And I went, I turned around, I was like, mind your business, lady.
joe rogan
Shut the fuck up, lady.
Hey, what are those guys, those undercover dudes that are on planes?
big jay oakerson
Air Marshals?
joe rogan
Air Marshals, right?
So if you're an Air Marshal and you see these two guys getting after a little bit, just talking shit, grabbing bags, just being dicky to each other, when do you move in?
Because you don't want everybody to know you're an Air Marshal.
dave smith
You're like, they don't have a bomb?
You guys gotta work this out.
joe rogan
You fucking pussies are just gonna push each other.
You guys aren't terrorists.
What am I doing here?
You're also just an architect and a fucking...
luis j gomez
If somebody's willing to have a fight on a plane and give up their entire fucking...
It's such a pain in the ass.
What are you going to deal with to get into a fist fight on a plane?
I don't know how many different crimes it is, but they have to pull this fucking plane over.
You are fucked, dude.
You have to really want to fight somebody in order to do that because you'll deal with a lot of shit before you get to that point.
dave smith
You're going to like Guantanamo or something when they arrest you.
You're fucked.
You're fucked.
joe rogan
You see that lady smack her boyfriend in the head?
The guy gets up, he's trying to leave, and she's smacking him.
big jay oakerson
And throws the laptop?
joe rogan
Yeah, as he's walking down the aisle.
dave smith
Yeah, I didn't see that.
joe rogan
It sounds ridiculous.
They're in the air, right?
They're in the air, right?
big jay oakerson
The lady's screaming, she's just throwing a laptop at her boyfriend.
joe rogan
Yeah, she's like, you ain't shit.
big jay oakerson
I don't know if she'd catch her boyfriend cheating on the plane or something.
It was something like that weird.
joe rogan
But she got super loud and it became like a huge scene where everybody was listening to her talking to him.
It was like, oh my god, this is so crazy.
big jay oakerson
I mean, when they were dragging the Asian guy out of the plane, it's one of the funniest videos of all time.
dave smith
That was crazy!
That guy didn't even do anything!
big jay oakerson
They wanted him to give up his seat.
He just wouldn't leave.
He started chanting, I want to go home.
It was so sad.
luis j gomez
They would legitimately have to drag me.
If they were trying to get me to give up my seat, they would have to drag me out of the plane.
joe rogan
Imagine thinking that they could do that.
Imagine thinking they could do that.
We're just going to grab you physically and take you off the show.
Like, come on.
You're on the plane.
The plane's about to take off.
We're going to grab you and just pull you out of there.
dave smith
What?
unidentified
I think they probably just settled with him.
joe rogan
They probably just gave him a ton of money and said, shut the fuck up.
luis j gomez
Because at what point it is your private business.
They do have security.
I mean, at what point does somebody want to leave your private business?
I'm sure it's within the contract that you fucking...
the terms of service for the ticket that they can do that.
joe rogan
Do you think so?
Were the guys already sitting down?
dave smith
Well, he said no after they asked him to leave a lot of times.
So I don't know what the law is.
I mean...
joe rogan
But if it's his ticket, and he bought the ticket, you can just decide if the guy hasn't done anything wrong.
big jay oakerson
It's a ridiculous thing.
luis j gomez
It's some fucking dumb line.
They can do anything they want.
Anything they want.
dave smith
Well, what happened is they got destroyed on social media for weeks afterward, and they apologized, and were like, we're changing our policy, and all of this dumb shit.
unidentified
Sort of like Starbucks.
joe rogan
That's why homeless people are there.
big jay oakerson
I hate it.
luis j gomez
Don't even get me fucking started, Joe.
big jay oakerson
American Airlines says officially, thank God that guy wasn't black.
luis j gomez
I live in Harlem, and the Starbucks in Harlem, I mean, it looks like a bus depot.
It's crazy.
It's just lines of people just sitting there, charging their cell phones, not ordering anything.
big jay oakerson
Well, it's just because their new policy is everyone who walks in is a customer, right?
luis j gomez
Yeah, they're a customer as soon as they walk in the doors.
joe rogan
This is what's hilarious.
It happened because of one bad PR thing.
In Philly, when these two black dudes were just trying to sit down and chill out at...
At Starbucks and someone decided to remove them from the premises.
big jay oakerson
Yeah, but look, if you weren't there, you don't know.
dave smith
I'm with Dave on this.
joe rogan
I'm giving him bait.
I know that you have opinions on this.
Look, all I'm saying is a libertarian perspective is...
dave smith
They might have been dicks.
Starbucks might have been dicks.
But what I know is they asked him to leave.
They called the cops.
The cops weren't going to arrest him.
The cops told him, you have to leave.
And they still refused to leave.
And then they let him go.
They literally just cuffed him, took him to the station, and then were like, go.
They didn't charge him with anything.
luis j gomez
They also tried to order Four Loko.
unidentified
So...
luis j gomez
They were out.
joe rogan
Okay, but here's what I know.
I know that we don't know what happened.
dave smith
Yes.
No, I agree with that completely.
You don't know.
It was a human interaction.
You don't know who the cunt was there.
It could have been them.
It could have been the person working.
I know what fucking happened.
luis j gomez
I know exactly what happened.
joe rogan
What do you think happened?
luis j gomez
These two guys walked in.
They didn't buy anything.
They were like, oh yeah, you guys gotta buy something.
They were like, no, we don't.
They're like, well, you gotta leave then.
They're like, no, we don't.
And it was this weird little Mexican standoff between a fucking dumb idiot Starbucks employee and two dumb idiots that wouldn't leave a Starbucks.
dave smith
Well, here's the difference.
big jay oakerson
Everything was right.
A Mexican standoff between blacks and some Chinese idiot.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Do you think that the influx of homeless people is bad for their business?
Do you think it's hurting business at all?
big jay oakerson
Absolutely.
dave smith
100%.
joe rogan
Imagine if that one move from that one store, if the wings of the butterfly from that one little incident creates a dip in the value of the company.
dave smith
I feel like people wouldn't want to hang out there as long and you probably buy more shit if you like stay there.
There's probably people who go up online a couple times if they're there, you know, writing.
big jay oakerson
You don't want to write your script on your laptop while a guy's shitting his pants next to you.
joe rogan
Yes, and I know we're four morons, but let's solve this.
Like, why are there so many homeless people?
And what could be done?
dave smith
I think that's a real tough one, man.
That's like, the thing what they used to do is just institutionalize them.
Just fucking grab them and throw them, and there's some problems with that.
joe rogan
For sure.
dave smith
Because who decides who's worthy of being institutionalized?
big jay oakerson
We could hunt them at night like Nutria.
joe rogan
Did they have those at night?
big jay oakerson
Yeah, they just go around with the thing of the shooting.
joe rogan
Didn't Natal do that on a show?
big jay oakerson
Yeah, he did, yeah.
joe rogan
That's right, on Insomniac.
He went nutria hunting.
dave smith
It's bad out here, man.
unidentified
It's bad.
dave smith
We got it in New York, but you guys got it real bad.
joe rogan
You ain't seen shit until you go downtown.
Downtown LA makes everything.
Every underpass in LA now, you're subject to see tents.
They're all over the place.
All over through the valley.
luis j gomez
Homeless people in LA and New York are pretty friendly, though.
They're not that aggressive.
I was in Seattle.
Those fuckers will come up to you and they will go at you.
They want money.
If you don't give them money, they will give you an attitude about it.
big jay oakerson
Everywhere else.
Cleveland, horrible homeless.
Every other city besides New York.
unidentified
Sam Fran?
big jay oakerson
Yeah.
luis j gomez
Sam Fran, it's like...
big jay oakerson
Aggressive.
The Canadian homeless are the shittiest and most aggressive.
joe rogan
Do you remember this when you were a kid?
How much homelessness was around?
When we were kids, you would see those boxes on the side of the road, and it was usually someone who was so fucked up that, you know, they just couldn't go anywhere, and they'd have a box, and they smelled like shit, and they were covered up.
But we're seeing, like, different levels of homelessness.
big jay oakerson
Did you grow up suburban?
joe rogan
Yeah.
dave smith
Yeah, I mean, I grew up in Brooklyn.
I saw homeless people all the time, but I never saw anything, and I haven't seen it in person, but I've never seen anything like the camps and stuff that I've seen.
Like, that's insane.
joe rogan
Yeah, that's the new thing.
Yeah, that's what's new.
It's like the underpasses too.
When I first started coming here in 94, there was never any tents on the underpasses.
At least I don't remember them being.
big jay oakerson
I think now there's like almost, some people think it's cool.
I live in East Village, New York, and there is so many just kids that you're like, you're a phone call away from like solving this problem.
Like you kind of want to be out here like...
dave smith
They're always there by NYU and shit.
It's literally like some...
big jay oakerson
It's the heroin kids.
They all look like punk rockers.
dave smith
20-year-old, 19-year-old white kids who are clearly on drugs.
big jay oakerson
Now it's like 20, though.
It's a group of 20. That's what I'm saying.
luis j gomez
But I don't think that those kids are a phone...
I bet you those kids are from really, really fucked up situations at home and they're into drugs.
big jay oakerson
Some.
luis j gomez
I think more often than not, they're probably dealing with some fucked up shit at home.
You don't end up on the streets to rebel against your good mom and dad most of the time.
big jay oakerson
I'm sure it happens.
Also watching a guy like, you know, who just looks like as cruddy as homeless can be, like charging his phone on one of those stations is pretty funny.
Well, that's what we have in New York.
joe rogan
Where's your address for billing?
big jay oakerson
Yeah.
joe rogan
How is this working?
big jay oakerson
That's what I'm saying.
A lot of those kids have that, too.
Yeah, who's billing?
joe rogan
How's Verizon get you the bill every month?
big jay oakerson
There's no prepaid bill.
luis j gomez
What they installed in New York is on every corner now they have like a big station, right?
And on that station you could do literally free phone calls.
You could just dial a number.
It's a speakerphone phone call.
You could charge your phone.
And it's like a Wi-Fi station.
So everyone on the street has Wi-Fi in New York.
And you're like, this is a great idea.
Except now there's always a homeless person literally plugged into it.
And that's now their power source for their little homeless thing.
big jay oakerson
When they had the screens, they were jerking off outside.
They had to take the screens out of them.
dave smith
They took the screens off.
There was about a week after they came out where you'd see regular people using them.
And now it's only homeless people.
Nobody else touches them.
joe rogan
If you had to look at a graph of all the crimes that were committed using burner phones, like 7-Eleven burner phones, how many 7-Eleven burner phones are used by poor people and how many of them are used to commit crimes?
big jay oakerson
Like, serious espionage shit.
Like, there's no in between.
joe rogan
Like, what is the...
dave smith
I bet you there's a big old road.
big jay oakerson
Yeah, bridge kids and international spies.
joe rogan
A fucking giant international crime tool that goes unreported.
Burner phones.
Like, 7-Eleven burner phones.
We get it.
It's in the plastic.
You pop it open.
It's got an hour in it.
What the fuck?
Who the fuck is using those things?
Some of them are poor people.
dave smith
I think it's getting more and more exclusively criminal.
big jay oakerson
It's like leaving an airplane.
If you buy a 7-Eleven phone, you're on a list.
joe rogan
You could go to Verizon and get a bottom-of-the-line phone that's affordable, that's better than anything that existed five years ago.
Where technology is now, you don't have to spend...
What's a cheap Android phone?
luis j gomez
Oh yeah, you go to MetroPCS right now, get a free Android phone, sign up for $40, and you're out the door, and then you never have to pay it again, because it's prepaid.
joe rogan
Yeah, so you just have a certain amount of minutes, right?
luis j gomez
Well, no, it's unlimited.
I have a metric PCS, guys.
joe rogan
And so if you're a homeless...
luis j gomez
My friends make fun of me.
big jay oakerson
Do you have the general insurance, too?
You just do everything.
It's a phone call.
unidentified
Hey, I pay six...
big jay oakerson
Oh, it's online, right?
It's online.
luis j gomez
$60 a month, I get everything unlimited.
unidentified
Fuck off.
luis j gomez
I don't understand why I would ever switch besides for the fact that my friends make fun of me.
big jay oakerson
So your phone works in places?
luis j gomez
It works everywhere.
big jay oakerson
Yeah.
You're doing some sort of a roaming thing, I guess.
luis j gomez
No, there's no roaming.
There's no overages, nothing.
It's just better.
It really sounds like we're doing a fucking ad read for MetroPTS right now.
joe rogan
It's one of the UFC sponsors.
luis j gomez
I know it is.
But people make fun of you like you're hot garbage.
joe rogan
You've got to not tell people.
People can't handle the truth.
luis j gomez
Any time I screenshot something, it says MetroPCS in the corner.
I can't post pictures on Instagram.
big jay oakerson
You scratch it out and put Boost Mobile.
It's not even that much better.
joe rogan
There's certain things that even if they're great, they're embarrassing.
big jay oakerson
Oh, yeah.
joe rogan
Right?
Even if they're great, it's embarrassing that it's great.
Like, I think Hyundai has a problem with these new cars that they're making, so they start calling them the Genesis.
They stopped calling them Hyundais.
Because people are like, no, no, Hyundai's that car that costs, it's real cheap, but it runs forever.
That's a Hyundai.
They're like, no, no, no, Hyundai's luxury.
We got this luxury.
And they're like, nope, nope, can't have both.
dave smith
Yeah, they got grounded.
joe rogan
Yeah, MetroPCS, even if it's the best service.
You know, like, the problem is, like, anytime anything's a bargain, even if it really is a great deal, and Metro PCS seems like a great deal, it does, like, anytime when things are a bargain, people don't want it.
Like, some people want the shit that costs a lot and it's hard to get.
luis j gomez
Yeah, when I was a kid, I remember I would, I just wouldn't get sneakers that weren't like Nikes or like, Even if they were comfortable sneakers, even if they were more expensive, it didn't matter.
joe rogan
You felt like a loser.
luis j gomez
Yeah, I felt like a fucking idiot.
joe rogan
You're like a rebel if you went Adidas.
big jay oakerson
Now you wear grocery store sneakers?
luis j gomez
I don't give a shit now.
joe rogan
It's funny how important it is when you're younger, though.
It's very important.
dave smith
Because anything that could get you just ridiculed when you were young, you had to be always conscious of.
You had to always be aware of what could fuck up your day.
big jay oakerson
There's not enough of a delineation between shitty stuff and the mid-range stuff, but I think high-end stuff tends to be better quality.
I used to always shit on that with clothing and stuff.
My ex-wife, I remember, was talking about how much she spent on a purse, which I said is ridiculous.
But it lasts forever.
And to some degree, I still think it's ridiculous to do that for a purse, but my point is paying for the quality does last longer.
It's better.
Things are made better sometimes.
But the difference between a knockoff...
Fucking Louis Vuitton bag and a bag you'd buy in a store is not much difference.
joe rogan
Yeah, it's not like a fake Ferrari.
big jay oakerson
Right, yeah, exactly.
luis j gomez
There's a huge difference between those bags, I think.
big jay oakerson
I don't remember this being a thing.
My dad used to...
joe rogan
He's into fashion.
luis j gomez
I'm just saying, like, the stitching.
I mean, I did a chick who was a fashion chick.
Yeah, there's definitely a huge difference between those bags.
big jay oakerson
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm just saying, the difference between one you'd buy at JCPenney versus a shitty one you'd buy on the street, there's not much difference in quality in that.
You might as well just buy the fake Louis Vuitton.
joe rogan
Yeah, but if you were a kid and you didn't have a good name brand sneaker, you were shamed and embarrassed.
luis j gomez
Yeah.
big jay oakerson
They call them the Bobos.
luis j gomez
I had Voits, I remember.
When I was in the sixth grade, there were Voits, and that was the last shitty sneaker I ever had.
It was just V-O-I-T. Got them at C.H. Martin's, which was this, I mean, as shitty of a department store as you could possibly get, and kids would just make fun of your shitty sneakers.
It was terrible.
big jay oakerson
I had Lottos.
I had Lottos that had Velcro on the side that you could change the Lottos symbol to different colors.
unidentified
Lottos?
big jay oakerson
Like a fat fucking cheerleader.
I was dressed like a cheerleader.
They changed the colors to go up my school spirit.
joe rogan
If you were a runner, maybe you'd get away with New Balance.
dave smith
Yeah, there were people who wore New Balance when I was in high school.
joe rogan
New Balance is like, okay, it's okay, you're an alternative.
It's a good quality shoe.
Marvin Hagler used to wear them.
big jay oakerson
If you had Asics gels, people thought you had an arch problem.
joe rogan
Or you were a wrestler.
big jay oakerson
Asics, yeah.
joe rogan
Wrestlers love Asics wrestling shoes.
luis j gomez
By the time high school came around, I knew well enough to just change my style.
So I'd start around like Airwalks and those shitty skaters.
They were like 45 bucks a pop.
joe rogan
Ah, good move.
luis j gomez
Yeah, that was very smart.
So I was a big Jenko Jean guy.
joe rogan
Well, Converse Chucks never went out of style.
Never.
They never went out of style.
big jay oakerson
Also never been comfortable.
joe rogan
I love them!
big jay oakerson
You think they're comfortable?
I have them, but they're not comfortable.
joe rogan
I don't like smooshy shoes that much.
Sometimes I do.
But most of the times I like it where it's very little rubber.
That's all it is.
Imagine that those guys played basketball in those things back in the day.
It's kind of crazy.
dave smith
Yeah, that's weird.
joe rogan
It doesn't seem like a lot of support.
But maybe they had stronger ankles that way or something.
luis j gomez
My mom tried to convince me that Chucks were cool, and she was right, but this was when I was in the sixth grade.
joe rogan
Oh, they weren't cool?
big jay oakerson
It wasn't.
luis j gomez
No, this was when Chucks had, you know, Converse was at the absolute bottom.
They fucking, something happened.
big jay oakerson
Well, here's the thing.
luis j gomez
It became cool again.
big jay oakerson
But it's not, I think I feel like Chuck Taylors.
luis j gomez
Because it was 27 bucks.
big jay oakerson
I feel like Chuck Taylors were always in style.
A little bit.
Converse.
Like, just as a general brand.
If you had just Converse sneakers, dude, you looked like a jerk-off.
luis j gomez
Wait, there was a difference?
big jay oakerson
Your family better be poor as shit.
You better have other problems, like, with your pants and shirt before we even get to those Converse sneakers.
Wait, was there a difference?
joe rogan
But this was a dark period of time, but that period of time's gone.
Right?
They have dope leather and suede ones.
big jay oakerson
Sure.
joe rogan
They have all kinds of different...
Who's that guy that can do those?
big jay oakerson
Now it's like the look.
Now it's like the look.
So if someone makes...
I mean, feel us back somehow.
Fat-tongue feel us.
joe rogan
And they're back for kids.
big jay oakerson
Yeah.
joe rogan
Like, for kids, is there one, we don't know, we're so out of the loop, but is there one brand that's like, is it still Nike?
big jay oakerson
Nike and Jordans still, yeah.
My daughter's 17, so yeah.
So Jordans.
luis j gomez
Yeah, Nike, Timberlands my kid has.
big jay oakerson
Sure, yeah, if it's Boots, it's Timberlands.
joe rogan
Jordans has got to be like the most successful sneaker campaign in the history of the known universe, right?
big jay oakerson
Oh yeah, yeah, without a doubt.
joe rogan
There's nothing that has the kind of cachet as a Jordans.
big jay oakerson
The only thing I'd say maybe, probably, that sells more than the Jordan is the Air Force One, but they're per unit cheaper.
joe rogan
That's him too, though, right?
That's still Michael Jordan's Nike.
big jay oakerson
That's just Nike.
joe rogan
But I think Air Force One, I think of him.
big jay oakerson
No, the Air Force Ones are basic.
joe rogan
Oh, it's mine.
Doesn't the Air Force One have a dude flying through the air, Duncan?
No.
That's just the Jordan.
I'm so white.
luis j gomez
Nikes are fucking uncomfortable.
Every time I wear Nikes, they hurt my feet.
joe rogan
I don't like them.
big jay oakerson
That's too vague a statement.
luis j gomez
These are, what are these?
joe rogan
You're into skate shoes, right?
Minimalist, sort of.
luis j gomez
Yeah, there we go.
joe rogan
I love those kind of shoes.
luis j gomez
And then I wear New Balance.
I wear New Balance a lot.
unidentified
Yeah.
luis j gomez
Like an old white guy.
big jay oakerson
Yeah, that's a wide foot shoe.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
You're taking a bold risk when you wear those five finger shoes.
Even though they're good for you.
unidentified
Oh, those things?
joe rogan
Are those good?
dave smith
I've never put a pair on.
joe rogan
Yeah, they're great.
luis j gomez
To walk around in life, though, or just at the gym?
joe rogan
My friend Kyle Kingsbury does it, but he's also a gorilla.
He's an enormous guy.
big jay oakerson
So he's daring you to say that, or he's going to climb a tree?
joe rogan
No, he's a super nice guy, but he's a former UFC fighter.
Super nice guy.
He wears those fucking five finger shoes everywhere.
luis j gomez
I follow Kyle on Instagram.
He's hilarious.
joe rogan
He's great.
Great, great.
big jay oakerson
Great guy.
Is he a white guy?
joe rogan
Yeah.
big jay oakerson
I say it only.
There was a thing I saw.
luis j gomez
Married a ring girl, right?
What's her name?
joe rogan
Natasha.
luis j gomez
Yeah, smoking.
big jay oakerson
There was a clip the other week of two guys, two black guys at a tow truck company, I think it is, that start filming this white guy that called them gorillas.
But the white guy backing down as they're coming at him.
And it's so funny why this guy would have said this.
I almost believe the white guy's excuse, but he is lost.
I guess he said something like, have one of these two gorillas bring it around.
They're big guys, so he definitely kind of meant it like that, but it just doesn't look good.
So him trying to explain to the guy, like, you call me and my black friends here gorillas.
He's like...
No, I meant like strong guy, but he just goes...
My dentist is a black fella.
He just starts giving...
He starts doing...
He goes, now that's where you're going wrong, brother.
Talking about your dentist being black.
luis j gomez
Dentist is also...
big jay oakerson
My mailman's a black fella.
He comes around.
dave smith
That's way too far removed.
That's not even...
big jay oakerson
I've high-fived him several times.
luis j gomez
Yeah, I don't even believe him.
big jay oakerson
Is that the thing I brought out?
Yeah.
luis j gomez
A little later.
big jay oakerson
Yes, I do.
joe rogan
This one over here.
unidentified
Sweet.
joe rogan
So, uh, I saw the thing where Milo said you guys cucked out on the show the first time.
dave smith
That's why we're going hard on new balances this time.
big jay oakerson
It was worth it to have Ari.
When Ari said fuck you to all three of us, it was the hardest I laughed.
unidentified
And then he goes, fuck you!
joe rogan
Ari is a fucking national treasure.
He really is.
luis j gomez
Dude, Ari at Skankfest, so Rich Voss and Bonnie McFarlane do a show where they, it's called Would You Bang Him, and they have like four or five female comedians on stage, and then a male comedian comes out and does a set, and at the end of it, the girls have to decide whether or not they would fuck him based off of a multitude of things and the set, right?
So Ari does his...
He just gets naked.
He literally takes his clothes off and is like, oh, I'm doing it.
And then he starts chasing the female comedians around the stage with his dick and trying to hit them.
joe rogan
Hold on.
Listen.
Listen.
Before you say anything more, just be aware that other people are going to listen to this.
Wait, people are listening?
big jay oakerson
He's like, got it.
Then he held her down against her will for ten minutes.
Thanks for the heads up, Joe.
luis j gomez
No, this is on camera.
This is not a made-up thing.
dave smith
No, it was all part of the theatrical performance.
joe rogan
This was planned and agreed to and consented in advance.
unidentified
Cabaret.
big jay oakerson
Cabaret.
luis j gomez
So he's chasing these girls around.
joe rogan
But not really.
luis j gomez
Wink, wink, nudge, nudge.
joe rogan
Because he could catch them if he was really chasing them.
luis j gomez
Oh, obviously.
He's a man.
Short little woman legs.
joe rogan
Oh my goodness.
unidentified
Short little woman legs.
luis j gomez
So he's chasing them around the stage with his dick and Louis C.K. is there watching from the sidelines and he goes, I'm the problem?
dave smith
I think it did a lot to let Louis know he was in a safe space.
luis j gomez
Yes.
dave smith
You're okay here.
joe rogan
You're fine here.
A lot of people got their panties in a bunch when, no pun intended, when he went on stage.
luis j gomez
Oh yeah.
dave smith
Dude, his set was fucking killer.
big jay oakerson
No one's paying very much there.
dave smith
And the crowd was so happy to see him there, man.
joe rogan
Yeah, man.
And I mean, people outside of the people that were there, some people never, I mean, maybe they feel that the guy didn't do what they wanted him to do, but I mean, how long do you want someone to suffer?
big jay oakerson
Well, the bummer is also the venue saying that their workers were afraid to stop it or do anything about it and that they were upset.
unidentified
It's bullshit.
big jay oakerson
The workers were ecstatic.
joe rogan
They were jumping.
You almost have to say that.
big jay oakerson
They were jumping around.
luis j gomez
They didn't, though, because a business doesn't need to have an opinion.
They could just not say anything for two days.
Nobody was going after this venue and going like, oh, you need to release a statement.
Nobody give a fuck.
joe rogan
This is all new territory for businesses.
You have to understand that the idea of reacting to a journalist is not new, but the idea of reacting to thousands and thousands of people who make comments on your Instagram page, that is new.
And for a business that's, you know...
That's a big deal.
They're worried about being boycotted.
dave smith
But that's not what happened.
But the people who are pissed off that Louie's there, those people will not...
They will boycott.
They will tweet every day.
Their thing is to try to ruin someone.
For committing a woke crime or whatever.
So that's what they deal with, is that people like us, who are like, eh, that sucks that they fucking wrote that letter.
We don't do anything.
We're not boycotting because they wrote that letter.
The other side isn't putting as much pressure on them, and that's why all these companies, that's why Gillette's making those razor commercials and shit, because they're scared of that side.
joe rogan
Did you see the Gillette razor commercial where they, is it the Gillette one where the two firemen kiss?
dave smith
I don't think I saw that one.
joe rogan
Maybe it's Blue Cross.
dave smith
It was the commercial.
luis j gomez
It's the fucking Army National Guard.
joe rogan
It was one of those JS companies where two firemen, I wrote it down.
unidentified
Shit.
joe rogan
It was a commercial.
luis j gomez
Who are you going for?
Do you think gay guys are going to go, you know what, we want to fight fires now.
joe rogan
But it was like, I get it, you're progressive.
It's like this...
God damn it.
I want to know what the commercial is.
luis j gomez
Isn't it like, dude, if you buy into that, like, oh my god, I'm so happy this company is woke, you're just a mark.
They're just taking advantage of you.
They're just trying to make money off of you.
joe rogan
Sort of, but it's also hot.
There's like a hot fireman and his hot boyfriend, and they're making out, and the guy comes back from a fire, and he's ready to get some dick, right?
Holla.
It looks fun.
luis j gomez
He's a hero.
big jay oakerson
As long as it's not lesbians.
joe rogan
They're trying to sell you insurance, or whatever the fuck they're selling.
I don't remember who did the commercial, but I remember saying, oh, okay, we're being progressive.
I love it.
Why not?
I don't give a shit.
Go for it.
dave smith
I just find it weird.
I find it strange, the woke capitalism thing, that people, that companies...
We'll take a position that you think would turn off like 50% of the people who buy from them.
But they do it to prove their, I don't know, goodness.
joe rogan
Yeah.
But it doesn't hurt.
Does it hurt?
Like, does anybody go, fuck Blue Cross.
I'm getting my fucking insurance from that hot Spanish broad.
luis j gomez
People are lazy.
Whatever the cheapest option is, they're buying that.
It's like the Equinox thing that just happened.
Nobody's fucking leaving Equinox.
Let me tell you something.
There's no other option.
It's convenient.
You got your fucking gym membership.
A handful of people are virtue signaling.
Do you know...
But all the people complaining saying boycott Equinox online, they're not fucking Equinox members.
They're fucking fat.
joe rogan
Why do you call us a boycott Equinox?
dave smith
Because one of the owners was a Trump supporter.
He gave money to Trump.
joe rogan
Oh, that's right.
luis j gomez
He held a fundraiser last week for Trump.
So people were freaking out.
Saying to boycott the brand, but it's like, where else are you going to go?
There's not another high-end gym that's all over the place like that.
joe rogan
Do you have to have the exact same political beliefs as someone who runs a business?
dave smith
It's like, if I go to buy a sandwich, do I have to go like, so where were you on the Iraq war?
No?
Okay.
big jay oakerson
I want to say, do you know a company that preys on your laziness is the insurance that you get through SAG-AFTRA? Mm-hmm.
Like, you know, you get it for free if you qualify, and then when you don't qualify for it, you're still enrolled in it, and it's, like, the most expensive insurance.
Does that make sense?
You know what I mean?
And they kind of got me almost in that way, where a year where it wasn't taken care of, I was like, well, I don't want to switch out and then have any doctors, you know what I mean?
Like, be different.
So they kind of get you like that.
joe rogan
Dude, this Trump thing is that if you support anything that he does, even just his business practices, then you're racist.
Like, everything that you support, if he supports it, you're racist.
luis j gomez
Yeah, it's crazy.
You're a Nazi, you're racist, and when somebody calls you a racist or a Nazi, even people that don't believe that, they don't want to stand with you and defend you, because then they're being perceived as defending a racist or a Nazi, and it's a trick, and it's very effective.
big jay oakerson
It's a juicy soap opera.
joe rogan
I don't know why this guy supports Trump, but maybe he could explain it.
luis j gomez
He's a real estate guy.
He's a big real estate guy, related properties.
It has nothing to do with his gym.
This has to do with the fact that he probably has real estate deals for a very, very long time with Trump.
And his gym is inconsequential compared to the billion dollar company that he runs.
joe rogan
Well, that makes sense then.
That makes sense why he would support Trump, especially if he knows Trump.
But if you can't see that, I mean, if you have a problem with that, and many people would, right?
Many people would have a problem with that.
Like, that's a different thing.
But if you hear what people are saying, they're saying if you support Trump, that you support racists.
You support white nationalists.
And I think you're leaving so many people out of the conversation when you do that.
dave smith
Oh, yeah.
I mean, the guy got, what was it, 62 million people to vote for him.
So if you're saying anyone who supports him is some type of Nazi white nationalist, then we got bigger problems.
But you're saying the whole country should break up.
big jay oakerson
No one knows the definition of those things anymore.
When Milo used to talk about Milo, when he came on, the things he was called that just, like, on paper couldn't even apply to be.
Would never be accepted into being a Nazi or a white supremacist.
joe rogan
Do you guys remember when we were kids we read about McCarthyism and the Red Scare?
We always thought, like, God, we're past that.
That kind of shit's never going to happen again.
But what that is is like a symptom of people worried about people defecting from their tribe or turning on their tribe.
And we have this, like, built-in fear of this kind of shit happening.
dave smith
Well, there's that aspect to it, right?
It's the people who are worried about people defecting.
And then you have the opportunists who can play off that and go, instead of having to win an argument or having to convince people, I'm just going to say, you're with the other tribe.
You're in this bad group.
So don't even talk to that person anymore.
Don't even listen to what they have to say.
luis j gomez
And if you're in one tribe on every issue, you're a fucking dolt.
big jay oakerson
That's what I was going to say.
Why do you have to be so defined by your tribe?
You know what I mean?
Like...
joe rogan
I would love to hear the argument about what it does good for him for his real estate ventures.
I would love to hear it like an honestly laid out argument of why someone like Trump's better if you're a real estate developer and it might be a significant part of his business.
luis j gomez
Yeah, I'm not being an apologize and he might not people people also will just like there's this weird Thing where people think that business owners and people that make a lot of money are inherently bad But it's like I don't know dude just because somebody's really good and really successful.
He's got kids He wants to feed he has grandkids.
He wants to watch grow up and go to college.
It's like I don't know I don't think this is necessarily just bad people that have a lot of money.
I think that there's a lot of good people that have a lot of money as well, and I think they do a lot of good shit.
joe rogan
Well, I just, you know, whenever someone gets really upset about an issue, you always have to wonder, like, how much of it going in there was, I mean, what is upsetting to you?
Is it upsetting to you that anyone who supports Trump, like, Trump represents all the things that are wrong with America today in terms like white nationalists and terrorist attacks and mass shootings and...
big jay oakerson
Misogyny.
joe rogan
Yeah, misogyny, keeping the immigrants out and being mean and being America first.
Like, fuck, it's, uh...
It's one of those things today where if you support any part of that, even if it's good for your business, you're just a magnet for fucking people who are angry at all the things.
big jay oakerson
Well, that whole list was ridiculous.
It was like Chick-fil-A, McDonald's, like, yeah, man.
Big businesses?
Big successful businesses?
Surprise, surprise.
luis j gomez
Light bulbs.
joe rogan
The number's crazy, right?
dave smith
Electricity.
joe rogan
A lot of big businesses support Trump.
dave smith
But isn't it so weird how people project their own thing onto the situation?
Because even like that, you just said what everyone hates about Trump.
But the people who support Trump, they're not even on the other side of those issues.
It's not like they're like, no, we are pro-white nationalists.
They just see him as a completely different thing.
They're like making the country great and jobs and draining the swamp and all these other things.
People are looking at the same thing and seeing very different realities.
joe rogan
Yeah, they are.
And people are going in with their preconceived bias and getting them confirmed.
Even with the way you looked at the Mueller report, the Republicans looked at it as a victory and the Democrats looked at it as some sort of an open door to impeachment.
dave smith
Yeah, but that was, I don't know.
If the thing starts off with every day you're hearing on the news that the president is colluding with a hostile foreign power, he's a Russian puppet, he's working with Vladimir Putin, and then by the end you're like, we have to impeach him because he thought about obstructing the investigation that he was declared not guilty, and it's like, this is getting weird.
You guys were going to be upset no matter what you found.
joe rogan
100%.
big jay oakerson
Dave loves Trump.
dave smith
It's what I'm trying to say.
joe rogan
Sounds like he does.
dave smith
I'm going hard Nazi this time.
I'm not coming back on the show.
I'm going hard this time.
joe rogan
The fucked up part is only having really two choices.
Like we're scrambling to see who's choice number two.
Who's going to be the one that opposes Trump?
And you're seeing people starting to crack under pressure.
Like re-entry pressure.
They're trying to figure out who's going to be.
Ben Glebe.
unidentified
Maybe.
joe rogan
Imagine.
Imagine we all doubted him.
If he gets through and becomes president, we'll be fucked.
When you look at the people that are in line, though, does anybody stand out that you would think would be able to...
dave smith
Well, I don't know how much of a realistic shot, but who I... I love Tulsi Gabbard.
I sent her money twice already.
And I disagree with her on like 80% of her shit.
She's a real interesting person.
joe rogan
She really is.
dave smith
And she's dead on about the war stuff, and she's, you know...
joe rogan
Yeah, about Medicare.
She's dead on about a lot of things.
luis j gomez
She's kind of hot.
Fuck yeah.
big jay oakerson
Dave didn't agree with something about Medicare?
dave smith
No, I don't like her Medicare stuff, but the most important thing that she leads with is the war stuff.
And she's got a great position where she did two tours in Iraq.
She's still active duty.
And so, you know, like the normal, like, comeback is like, oh, you're against the wars.
It's like, well, you're just kind of a wimp.
Or you wouldn't want to protect the country.
And she's like, no, asshole.
I actually went.
I'm the one who's willing to go die for this.
And I'm telling you, we shouldn't be dying for this.
big jay oakerson
What was her job over there though?
dave smith
Oh, it was serious.
She was in a medical unit.
So she was like dealing with the people who actually seen the worst part.
big jay oakerson
But not like infantry, though.
luis j gomez
No, she was making breakfast.
joe rogan
She was dealing with the results of infantry.
big jay oakerson
Was it Edge of Tomorrow?
Was it Tom Cruise?
luis j gomez
It was her job to clean up the DVDs.
joe rogan
That's a hot subject, right?
Women in combat.
big jay oakerson
I got a bunch of shit about making jokes about saying I don't understand what a girl...
I watch the show Cops a lot, and I don't understand what a girl cop has ever done in a situation that's hostile except for make the perp get much more hurt, shot, or tased because she's in the way of it happening.
And people got really upset about me saying that, but it really...
I don't understand why you'd send a woman to a major fight happening at the mall.
Get down there, ladies.
It really is like a bizarre...
joe rogan
The physical...
With some cops...
The physical aspect of an altercation is going to be a real problem.
For males and females.
luis j gomez
It doesn't have to be a female thing.
You can just say you can't have a 110-pound person go and be the physical authority in a situation that can go over the top.
big jay oakerson
No, but if you're a 110-pound guy, I'm going to call you a chick.
Exactly.
joe rogan
There's a terrible video of this guy getting pulled over by this lady and his daughter is in the car and the guy was a criminal apparently and the lady cop was calling it in and the guy punches her and gets her down on the ground.
She knocks her out close.
luis j gomez
It's an old video.
joe rogan
Yeah.
And starts punching her face.
And the daughter's screaming, stop it daddy, stop it daddy.
And he beats the fuck out of this lady cop.
big jay oakerson
Yeah.
joe rogan
And you're like, this is why it's a problem.
This lady cop's by herself, and she's got a gun, but she doesn't have the gun out of the holster pointed at the guy.
It's a routine traffic stop, and that guy pummels her, man.
It's horrible to watch.
luis j gomez
Yeah, it's a routine.
big jay oakerson
Me saying the idea is not like, fuck chicks.
I'm just like, don't send them out to get hurt in these things.
I don't understand why.
It's not necessary.
joe rogan
That was your daughter, and you saw your daughter beaten half-dead because someone thought it was okay for her to be by herself amongst big, giant criminals.
luis j gomez
Typically, they don't match up female cops, though, right?
I'm assuming most of the time they put a...
joe rogan
This was a girl by herself.
big jay oakerson
Well, that's also crazy.
You could be on patrol by yourself as a girl cop, just like walking around a neighborhood or something, for sure.
dave smith
But I've seen videos where it's like a dude and a chick partners, and the cop gets in a fight with another guy, and it's basically just two men fighting with this woman kind of grabbing an arm here or there, and it's almost a liability.
unidentified
It's like your girlfriend's screaming behind you, kick his ass, bitch!
luis j gomez
Kick his ass, bitch!
joe rogan
She might try to hit the guy with a brick and hit you.
That would be...
luis j gomez
She's pointing the mace at herself.
joe rogan
Get the fuck off of him!
There's a lot of men that would fall apart in that job, too.
dave smith
100 men.
big jay oakerson
Oh, definitely.
joe rogan
I think any small...
Whether it's a woman or a man, any person who's not a large person, who's not physically strong, who's by themselves as a cop is in danger.
Anyone.
Doesn't matter if you're a male or if you're a 150-pound man.
Same deal.
You're in trouble.
Unless you're a really good martial artist who can grab a gun quickly and you know how to respond to pressure.
luis j gomez
I feel like 99% of women, I could take a gun right out of their hands.
I have no training, but I feel like, give me a check, she can point a gun right at my head.
99% of the time, I'm fucking taking it and pointing it right back at her.
big jay oakerson
That said, I should make clear that myself, I'm nowhere near as tough as I think you should need to be to be a cop.
joe rogan
Oh, yeah.
big jay oakerson
I would never assume that of myself either, so I'm not saying it.
joe rogan
Dude, I've been doing martial arts my whole life.
I wouldn't want to be a cop.
I don't want to be a cop.
luis j gomez
It's a crazy situation.
joe rogan
It's hard.
It's a hard job.
It's dangerous.
big jay oakerson
You're supposed to have to be brave.
joe rogan
Well, not only that, man, do you know how much PTSD those guys are dealing with that is unrecognized?
If every day you're pulling people over that might shoot you, every day you're dealing with someone who's robbing something or stealing something or trying to kill somebody or did kill somebody, every fucking day.
big jay oakerson
I see a lot of cops saying shit, though, yeah.
joe rogan
Some of them aren't.
But look, you're wearing a uniform that makes you the enemy.
You're also the person with power, and you've got to realize how fucking corrupt that is.
That you're able to yell at people and force people in these situations and cuff them and fuck with them.
And you've got to know when to abuse it and when to use it.
big jay oakerson
gentle public like nastiness because they can yeah guys walk guys do walk walk if you're in their way like in a personal way if you're just blocking their path where a normal person would go excuse me guys because they're going to go walk guys walk let's go because they turn around oh Yeah, but sometimes they don't have time.
luis j gomez
Look, benefit of the doubt, right?
They're in Times Square.
They're dealing with a lot of people.
There's just not time for the nuance of— I'm not talking about circumstances.
big jay oakerson
I'm talking about in just a thing like that.
The same way they put on their lights to go through a red light just to get—because they don't want to wait at it.
dave smith
Yeah, I've seen a million examples of that.
Of course.
It's just power.
Human beings don't do well with authority mixed with impunity.
So, like, a cop can say that to you and nothing happens to them.
If there's no repercussions and you have power, people tend to end up being dead.
big jay oakerson
Remember that guy, Jimmy Justice?
joe rogan
I had a job as a security guard for a brief moment in time when I was, like, 19 years old.
And there was an us versus them mentality between the security and the people with the concert goers.
That was...
Clearly evident one of the first days I was working there this guy's name was alley cat security and Some dude had stole one of the golf carts so the golf cart one of them electric golf carts for security So they tackle this dude off the golf cart and he smashes him in the head with a fucking walkie-talkie It's like a crazy fight with some drunken asshole who's like violent and stole a golf cart That was like the first day there First or second day there on the job.
I was like, okay, so this is what's going on.
And it became people trying to sneak booze into Great Woods and then us.
And so it was this us versus them mentality.
And everybody was lying to you.
And that was the silliest job.
I'm doing security at a fucking Bill Cosby show, literally.
I was doing security.
I was taking people's booze away.
luis j gomez
Joe, what did you let happen?
unidentified
You're crazy, right?
dave smith
Jesus Christ, Joe.
luis j gomez
You could have stepped in and stopped them.
big jay oakerson
Talk about falling asleep on the job.
joe rogan
Hilarious.
It's such a simple little job.
It's easy.
There's no criminals there.
There's no bank robbers there.
There's no murderers there.
It's just that little situation.
Of us versus them with the liquor and them trying to smuggle in pot and liquor.
Just that led to this huge fucking rift between the security people and the way they thought of as customers.
big jay oakerson
And it's funny because, again, it's too much of a human emotion in it that something should be a job.
Because even if you don't care if people, when you're not working, you're trying to get beer and weed into a concert.
It's just that these are your opponents right now and they're trying to fuck with you.
Even though some of you were like...
You'd go like, I don't care if you guys smoke weed.
You're like, no, but I have to say you can't smoke weed.
And then when they do it anyway, you're like, I just fucking said you can't smoke weed.
It's like testing your manhood almost.
It's too much human emotion in that.
luis j gomez
They made a movie on Netflix about that experiment.
What college was it?
It's like a famous story.
dave smith
No, it's Princeton.
The Princeton prison.
Or no, Stanford.
unidentified
I'm sorry.
luis j gomez
Stanford Prison Experiment.
joe rogan
You know, I read something debunking that.
dave smith
Me too.
Yeah, they said the methodology was all wrong on it or something.
It's not a legit study.
joe rogan
They also said that people were doing things just to end the study quickly because they wanted to go home.
luis j gomez
They did that in the movie, though.
They broke that down.
They showed that side of it.
I guess the guy who made the experiment said, yeah, it's a wash.
unidentified
Yeah.
luis j gomez
The end of it was like it wasn't actually good data, but it was interesting.
And I do believe that...
big jay oakerson
What's the Stanford experience?
dave smith
It's a prison experience.
joe rogan
Students pretended to be...
Some pretended to be criminals, some pretended to be security guards.
big jay oakerson
Oh, and then they started getting corrupt.
Prisoners and security guards.
The power positions became corrupt.
dave smith
And one of the interesting things is that the professor becomes like the warden, and he gets into it too.
They got it on video and stuff and he's like walking around with his chest out and he's all in.
It's just people, they fall into these roles, into these camps and the authority goes to people's head.
It creates a weird dynamic.
joe rogan
Think about how many dickhead cops people have met.
That's just a thing that happens.
But it also makes it very nice when you run into friendly cops.
It's like, wow, what a good dude.
luis j gomez
It's almost like training the human interaction.
So when they act like a dick and people act a certain way and they move and they get a little bit nervous, it's like, oh, that's intoxicating.
They're like, oh, that feels good.
joe rogan
That power right there.
No repercussions for your behavior, the way you're talking.
You could just do that with impunity.
You just nailed it.
That's exactly what it is.
That's not a normal situation for people.
dave smith
I mean, it's state versus business, if you ask me.
luis j gomez
Here we go.
dave smith
Oh, you son of a bitch.
Look, if you walk into the Apple store, they can't do that because you're a voluntary customer.
So if they treat you the wrong way, there's a repercussion right there.
You're like, well, walk out of here.
Go next door.
joe rogan
Like Starbucks with the black dudes and how they're homeless camps now.
unidentified
Yeah.
dave smith
It doesn't always work out, Jack.
At least they're not shooting people.
luis j gomez
But cell phones have become their great equalizer because now you see cops, they're walking on eggshells, dude.
People want their cell phones now and they're like, what up, bitch-ass pussy cop?
And the cop's like, well, I guess I'm a bitch-ass pussy.
dave smith
Did you see the video in New York?
big jay oakerson
As soon as the battery runs out on that cell phone, I'm going to shoot you in the stomach.
dave smith
Dude, did you see the video in New York where they're throwing water on the cops?
And the cops just aren't doing shit.
And I don't know, I think it was, it might have been in Harlem or something, isn't it like a black neighborhood in New York?
They're dumping water on the cops and everyone's got a cell phone camera on them.
And you know in any other period of time, these cops would just be beating the shit out of everyone there.
But they're throwing water balloons at him and shit, and they're just sitting there like, we know.
I'm going to be in the news tomorrow.
I'm going to be, you know what I mean?
Like, I'll be a famous cop.
big jay oakerson
Dude, that cop definitely goes home that night and, like, shadowbubble two nightsticks.
Just practicing, like, a last dragon circle fight that he was in that day.
Man, that happened tomorrow.
He shadowboxed for two hours at home and he goes, pour water on me?
Here's some water for you, dude.
luis j gomez
And all these guys, a lot of them have been on the force for 15 years, 20 years, so they've been doing things a certain way for so long.
unidentified
I'm so close to my pension.
joe rogan
Did you guys ever see The 7-5?
big jay oakerson
Yeah.
dave smith
Oh, yeah.
Excellent.
big jay oakerson
You interviewed the guy.
You interviewed him, didn't you?
unidentified
Yeah, yeah.
big jay oakerson
Is he likable?
joe rogan
Yeah, very nice guy.
dave smith
What's his name?
Michael Dowd?
Is that it?
big jay oakerson
Michael Dowd.
joe rogan
Michael Dowd.
luis j gomez
I didn't see it.
dave smith
It's an excellent documentary.
joe rogan
It's Dowd.
big jay oakerson
It might be Dowd, yeah.
joe rogan
It's Dowd.
Yeah, you know, he's great.
He's a really nice guy.
I mean, he's super open and honest about what happened, and the documentary is fucking compelling as shit.
And you realize how much of it was true.
big jay oakerson
I feel like he's not remorseful at all.
That's what I find unlikable.
joe rogan
That he's not remorseful?
I think he's remorseful.
big jay oakerson
He is?
joe rogan
Yeah, look.
big jay oakerson
He just has that voice?
joe rogan
Just doing coke all day long, every day, as a cop, and making all this money and driving a Corvette.
He was out of control.
dave smith
And he was on the area where he was, the 75th precinct, I think it's East New York, Brooklyn, at the height of the New York...
This was like the murder...
Yeah.
Neighborhood, capital.
Like, it was a wild thing.
big jay oakerson
Yeah, but they were in the chain of a lot of those murders.
That's what I think is, like, crazy about it.
joe rogan
Well, they were never convicted of a murder, right?
There was no evidence.
big jay oakerson
I think almost admittedly that he was kind of, he's like, I mean, of course, like...
joe rogan
But there was a talk about doing one, right?
big jay oakerson
Yeah.
joe rogan
But it never happened.
The whole fucking thing is crazy.
But what it tells you, I mean, forget about...
Our judgments on, you know, the people that were in it.
What it tells you is that this can happen.
To someone who just becomes a cop, you get on the force.
If it's a bad force, like it was at the time with him, and he's seeing corruption from day one.
I mean, it was just like he was roped into it, like, right away when you listen to his story.
It's pretty fucking compelling.
This is like the first day on the job.
Like, something happened.
They threw a guy off a building or something like that?
dave smith
I don't remember.
Yeah, but it was...
And then there's just money right there that you could take.
You're like, I can just have this.
big jay oakerson
No one will know.
dave smith
There's 50 G's here.
I could just take this home and like, oh, we didn't find anything.
big jay oakerson
It's very telling of the personality that becomes a cop, though, because they're not even worried that people are going to...
It's amazing that no one whistleblows so much earlier than that because one person comes in and goes, no, guys, we're supposed to be...
Fucking believing in this badge.
You know what I mean?
They all go, what do we do?
Are we good cops or bad cops?
We're robbing drug dealers.
unidentified
I think they can morally justify it though.
luis j gomez
So I don't think that, honestly, to be honest, I have almost no problem with cops skimming off the top from drug dealer money.
I mean, what do you want me to fucking say?
We're just giving it to the government?
Why does the government get to have the money and these cops who are putting their lives...
joe rogan
But wait a minute, not if they're arresting people for drugs.
dave smith
Yeah.
joe rogan
Look, if you're going to do that and you're going to just ignore everyone else who's selling coke, okay.
But if you're going to do that and arrest people for selling coke, then you're a criminal.
Then you're like...
luis j gomez
If you get caught, you should be arrested.
joe rogan
Yeah.
luis j gomez
That's the repercussion.
I don't have a moral issue with it.
If he found $50,000, only reported $40,000, put $10,000 in his pocket, brought it home to his wife and kids, I don't really have a moral issue with that.
big jay oakerson
What if he brought it home to just fucking pay for his backed up like porn bill or something?
We just brought him the fuck around.
dave smith
No, Jay, they won't let you go that long.
big jay oakerson
If you want to get reinstated, there's fees.
luis j gomez
If he got arrested, I wouldn't go, oh, poor fucking guy.
I'd go, yeah, dude, that's the price you pay.
You committed a crime.
But from my personal perspective, I don't think he's a piece of shit.
I don't think he's a bad person.
I think it's probably stupid if he doesn't.
joe rogan
Look, the cycle of people and drugs is never-ending.
It will go on to the end of time.
The cycle of making drugs illegal and propping up gigantic criminal enterprises because of that is also as old as we've had laws.
As long as we've had laws, we've had people breaking those laws, and if those laws exist because someone wants to control people's behavior in a way that people don't want, folks are going to find a workaround.
But drugs empowers the Mexican cartels right now.
And the Mexican cartels are a huge source of fear for people that live in the border towns.
It's a huge source of fear for people that are forced to be in communities.
And it's propped up because drugs are illegal.
Nobody seems to want to recognize that.
It's one of those ugly things about being a human.
That, like, people want drugs.
And you can't tell them they can't have what they want.
dave smith
Yeah, especially since immigration became such a huge thing that everyone's talking about, and that's like the biggest part of it that no one talks about.
It's like the violence, and it's like, well, there's people on this side of this line who want the drugs.
There's people on this side of the line who have the drugs.
And even with all the shit you're doing, they're still trading them to each other.
So do you really think maybe we should just let them do it?
joe rogan
But here's the thing.
We don't want anybody to do it, rightly so.
I mean, look, you don't want anybody running around doing heroin.
And nobody gets through that and goes, it was amazing.
One of my best moments in life is when I was addicted to heroin.
luis j gomez
Yeah, but even if you do it one time, I bet it's pretty fucking dope.
joe rogan
I bet it's amazing, but it's hard to let it go once you've experienced it.
It's probably fucking incredible.
Lenny Bruce had some crazy description of it about something about being hugged by an angel or something like that.
luis j gomez
Yeah, Mike DeStefano, who died a few years ago in a New York comic, he had a joke.
He was like, you know how great heroin is?
It's like taking a bath in a pool full of kittens.
big jay oakerson
Metzger had that joke about it where he says when the families of people go, he goes, I don't understand why he would do heroin.
He's got a family that loves him and kids who look up to him and love him.
Like, why would he do heroin?
He goes, I want to tell that family, like, you're just so close to the answer.
unidentified
Just that heroin is better than all those things.
joe rogan
That is hilarious.
Yeah, but I mean, I don't think people should do it.
But if you make it illegal...
They're not going to stop doing it.
The question would be, would people do more of it if it was legal?
If you could just go to a drugstore the same way you go to a liquor store, and a drugstore was actually a drugstore, where you could just go buy Coke.
dave smith
And they might.
Well, look, in LA, I do think more people are smoking weed since weed became legal.
That'd be my guess.
I don't actually have data on that.
joe rogan
Let's find out what the date is.
I'm sure it's fine.
dave smith
But even if that's the case, I don't know if that's the answer.
Because let's say even slightly more people did heroin, but way less people got murdered.
joe rogan
What's that?
unidentified
Do your heroin...
joe rogan
What?
luis j gomez
Jamie just took heroin.
joe rogan
It had nothing to do with heroin.
big jay oakerson
Do people smoke weed more?
joe rogan
Do people smoke weed more since legalization?
Well, that was the most hilarious not-remember-what we were talking about.
luis j gomez
It's gotten cheaper, it's easier to get, it's better, it's more fun, it's in candy form, it's in fucking...
big jay oakerson
I think an 18-year-old is more likely to definitely give it a try versus maybe would've.
luis j gomez
When I got to meet for the first time, I was 17 years old.
I had my Uncle Raymond buy it for us.
He skimmed off the bag, I remember.
And he brought us a fucking dime bag.
And me and my two best friends, we smoked a joint before we were going to see System of a Down, Incubus, and Mr. Bungle at Snowcore.
big jay oakerson
You're Puerto Rican, so what's your uncle like two years older than you?
unidentified
Is that why he did that?
luis j gomez
He's your bro.
The night before we wanted to smoke, and it took us...
There was no way to get it.
We were trying to find weed for so long because we weren't in that world.
The first time you go to get weed, if you could just go to a store and pick it up, and it's fun, and it's like at a mall.
I mean, yeah.
Astronomical.
But, you know, I love weed, so I'm not hating.
joe rogan
It's great.
Well, it was hard to get on the East Coast.
I mean, it's just trickier.
Out here, but since the 90s, once they passed those laws for medical, everybody had a medical card.
It's not hard to get at all.
The doctors were extremely unscrupulous in their prescriptions.
So everybody's had weed out here since the fucking 90s.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Like, strong, strong, easy to get weed.
big jay oakerson
Yeah, but now they don't give you shit if you smoke, like, outside.
That's true.
You can smoke it like a cigarette now.
No, no.
joe rogan
I don't think you can smoke it outside.
I still think you have to be indoors.
I think smoking outside, the problem is other people can smell it, and you're not supposed to do that.
luis j gomez
Yeah, I mean...
big jay oakerson
I think in Denver, it's like nine feet from an entrance you could smoke weed.
I think so.
luis j gomez
I smoke vape, I mean, everywhere.
Inside of a movie theater, as I'm walking through a mall.
I go to the bathroom at the airport and I smoke.
big jay oakerson
Yes, that's what ethnics do.
They challenge everyone by being big and alpha in a place like that.
luis j gomez
Starbucks, I don't buy anything.
big jay oakerson
Yeah, I'm smoking, what?
joe rogan
Ethnics.
luis j gomez
He only keeps me around so he can be racist.
big jay oakerson
I go, what do you mean?
My dentist is black?
Lewis?
luis j gomez
Black dentist would be hilarious.
big jay oakerson
He's got gold teeth.
joe rogan
Snoop's got diamond lower teeth now.
unidentified
What?
dave smith
Oh, man.
joe rogan
Snoop Dogg.
big jay oakerson
Diamond studded or made of diamonds?
joe rogan
Them crazy grilled diamond things.
But he's in this video where he's driving around on his Instagram in a Lamborghini with diamond lower teeth.
big jay oakerson
50 years old, right?
unidentified
I love it.
big jay oakerson
50 years old with diamond teeth.
joe rogan
He's living it, man.
big jay oakerson
Oh, for sure.
joe rogan
He doesn't give a fuck.
big jay oakerson
He spends most of his time getting furious at video games online.
joe rogan
Does he?
big jay oakerson
Yeah, he just yells about Madden.
luis j gomez
He did a UFC thing for a minute, right?
He was commentating with your eye favor.
joe rogan
With your eye favor, yeah.
They would drink and watch the fights.
So he was drinking like Tangeray and smoking joints and watching the fights.
big jay oakerson
Oh, these white boys tough.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Yeah, because what it was, was there was some commentary that he did just independently on one fight, and it was so hilarious, because he's so animated, screaming and yelling about this fight, that everybody thought, like, wow, wouldn't it be great if there was an option to watch the Snoop Dogg commentary?
luis j gomez
Yeah, on demand, you could click over to the Snoop Dogg version, that's right, and it was probably, I don't know, I've never watched it, but I assume it was fucking horrific.
big jay oakerson
Oh, they're going north-south.
Yeah, he got his dizzle in his midsle.
unidentified
Yeah, they just, they...
joe rogan
I guess they got bored with it.
They got bored doing it or something.
unidentified
I don't know.
joe rogan
It stopped.
Maybe Snoop's fucking busy.
He doesn't have time to be doing that all the time.
dave smith
He's like Mike Tyson, too, in the sense that I remember when he was scary.
joe rogan
I hear this.
Let's listen to this.
unidentified
Oh, that's right.
luis j gomez
It was Colby.
joe rogan
I'm sorry.
luis j gomez
Fuck Donald Trump, nigga!
This is where he thought it was Colby.
He thought it was Colby.
joe rogan
This was a big thing.
That's right, he thought it was Colby, but it was a man from a completely different part of the world.
Fuck Donald Trump!
That is hilarious.
He thought it was Colby.
That's so funny.
dave smith
Holy shit, he was getting some booze the other night, huh?
joe rogan
Dude, that guy here is cha-ching!
dave smith
Yep.
joe rogan
When those people are booing.
luis j gomez
It's emotion, dude.
Emotion.
You want to get the emotion out of people.
Whether it's good or bad, it doesn't fucking matter.
They want to see him fight and they want to see him lose.
big jay oakerson
He's going heel.
joe rogan
He went heel.
Listen, he's a good guy.
I'm telling you, I know that guy.
I've met him outside of this crazy thing that he's doing.
And this crazy thing that he's doing came about when he was on the verge of getting cut.
And people didn't like his style.
And so he went hard heel when he fought Damien Maia.
He went hard heel.
luis j gomez
Well, Chael did a similar thing.
Chael wasn't the big mouth guy back in the day.
joe rogan
No, he was not.
luis j gomez
Yeah, and he just made a decision one day that he's going to be that dude.
Was it right at the Anderson fight?
joe rogan
Fucking great marketing decision.
luis j gomez
Smart.
Very smart.
And Colby, too.
But also, Colby, something happened as well.
He's really exciting, dude.
That last fight was incredible, dude.
But yeah, Colby is definitely contrived.
I appreciate the effort.
joe rogan
But it's effective.
Yeah.
See, the thing about it being contrived is it makes it obvious that he's putting on a show.
dave smith
Yeah.
joe rogan
But the thing is that putting on a show is fucking, he's ruthless.
He fucks with people's heads legitimately.
Like, they do not want to lose to him.
And then when you get inside the octagon, he's really fucking good.
luis j gomez
Like, really fucking good.
dave smith
Yeah, I didn't realize how good he was until the Robbie Lawler fight.
joe rogan
You see the amount of strikes of that guy?
luis j gomez
Yeah, all volume, and then he's unbelievable wrestling.
It's a really, really, really tough matchup for anybody.
And Colby is, it is an act, and it is pro wrestling.
He puts on the Trump hat, and people just see that hat, and they lose their fucking mind.
And he trolls half the country.
And it's a similar thing when businesses do it.
I'm going like, guys, don't be rubes.
It's very obvious that it's just an act.
And if you're a fan of mixed martial arts, you have to appreciate the fact that some guys are taking chances and trying to generate interest.
Every guy can't just be put on a suit and be straight placed.
big jay oakerson
Yeah, I respect my opponent.
At some point you want a little story, yeah.
joe rogan
Yeah, I mean, he makes it juicier.
But the bottom line is, put all that shit aside, and just look at what he's doing.
You look at what he's doing, and you're like, that guy's extraordinary.
Like, the fact that he could do that to Robbie Lawler, completely shut down his offense, and just put a beating on him, just stay on top of him, never give him any air.
Never give him any air.
The pace is smothering.
dave smith
And his striking looked really good.
joe rogan
It's very good.
dave smith
I mean, like, very, very good in that fight.
joe rogan
He takes a shot, he takes a shot great, and his cardio is off the fucking charts.
dave smith
Oh, yeah.
luis j gomez
Yeah.
That whole 170 right now, that whole division is looking crazy right now.
joe rogan
It's amazing.
luis j gomez
Yeah, Nate Diaz being back in the mix, and Masvidal.
Masvidal and Nate seems like, if you're a fan of just like, if you're from a poor neighborhood, that is like the superstar matchup.
I grew up in such a shitty environment.
That was like the perfect two hoodrat fucking guys who are going to talk shit.
They're going to go in there and fight.
It's so awesome.
joe rogan
They're going to make so much money.
That's why it's going to be so giant.
dave smith
Well, it was cool that Dana White at the post-fight press conference, he got asked, because, you know, he had famously said, I think, once that Nate Diaz doesn't move the needle, or something like along those lines.
joe rogan
That was during negotiations, I guarantee.
dave smith
Yeah, I'm sure it was.
But he basically said, he goes, I think Nate, besides Conor and Ronda Rousey, is like about as big a star.
As MMA has.
Like, they did crazy good numbers.
Everyone, the arena was going nuts for him.
joe rogan
Dude, when he walked out yesterday, or Saturday night, when he walked out, the fucking place roared.
I mean, as loud as anybody, as loud as any main event person, whether it's Stipe or DC, Nate Diaz got the biggest roar.
dave smith
And then he had a great performance.
luis j gomez
Well, even leading up to it, people were talking about Nate coming back more than they were talking about the heavyweight title.
joe rogan
I don't think some people in the UFC realize how big a star he really is.
I think they thought that the Conor fight, Conor was the big star, Nate beat him, Conor won the second fight, Conor still remains the big superstar.
I think Nate is equally as big a star in America as Conor is.
Maybe, I don't know what worldwide is like, but in America, Nate Diaz is a giant fucking star.
Maybe not as big as Conor, but a tier below maybe.
luis j gomez
You have to credit Conor levels.
dave smith
And you have to say he won the two fights.
I mean, who would you rather be in the two fights?
I mean, he choked Conor out face down in the first one and then had like a razor close, unbelievable, great fight the second time.
So, I mean, he comes out of that looking pretty good.
luis j gomez
Yeah, but I think it's a testament to how popular Conor is, because that's the fucking Conor shine.
And it was a dance, and Nate brought it, and Nate has that story, the one-on-one fight.
It's turned him into this star.
But if he never danced with Conor, would he be that big today?
dave smith
I don't know.
No, because Nate was awesome for years before the Conor fight.
luis j gomez
Yeah, he's incredible.
He's the fucking man, dude.
The double middle fingers.
There's so many moments where you're like, I get goosebumps thinking about Nate's fighting.
joe rogan
That's your favorite part.
When he's like, These are the fingers that take...
That's your favorite.
It's awesome.
I love when he said, fuck you.
luis j gomez
Dude, when he got in the triangle and gave him double...
It was the fucking best, dude.
joe rogan
He gave him double fingers and flexed.
dave smith
And he was losing that fight, too.
unidentified
Yeah.
dave smith
It was great.
luis j gomez
Oh, and then the Donald Cerrone fight, third round they come out.
It was so fucking good, dude.
Once again, you don't have to be a mixed martial arts fan.
You just got to be a human and go like, that's a fucking fighter.
That is something that everyone wants to watch.
joe rogan
Well, I hope he makes an actual belt because he's saying he's got the baddest motherfucker in the game belt and who wants to be next to challenge for the baddest motherfucker in the game belt.
And I love that.
I love that that's his marketing strategy.
He should really legitimately get a belt made up to say, baddest motherfucker in the game belt.
dave smith
I'm sure someone will send it to him.
joe rogan
Make it look like the old UFC belt.
UFC isn't using that old belt anymore.
How about you have a UFC baddest motherfucker in the game belt and just change the outside a little bit.
luis j gomez
Was he smoking weed for real?
joe rogan
Yes, in the open workouts.
dave smith
Is he going to get in trouble for that?
joe rogan
No, no, no.
It's totally legal in California.
And when you test, you have to literally be high while you're fighting for you to test positive.
You sort of dropped it all way, way down.
dave smith
Oh, great.
joe rogan
Well, so many people use it to sleep.
So many people use it for pain reliefs, particularly with CBD when it's one-to-one.
These are one-to-one THC and CBD, and they think that it's actually more effective for both.
It actually calms you down a little bit with the CBD along with the THC, so it might actually alleviate some anxiety that's associated with getting too high.
dave smith
Wouldn't that make sense?
Because that's how it comes in the plant, right?
Yeah.
joe rogan
Well, yeah.
Yeah, I guess.
Except I think CBD, it doesn't come in as big.
So to get one and one, you'd have to...
luis j gomez
When you smoke a joint, how much CBD you're smoking?
I have no idea.
I have no clue.
joe rogan
Do you even get CBD when you just smoke a joint?
big jay oakerson
Yeah, I've never heard of CBD until it wasn't in the joint anymore.
It's by itself.
joe rogan
Well, THC is one of many, many cannabinoids, right?
Isn't there like 19 of them or something crazy like that?
Is that what it is, Jamie?
18. Yeah, that's...
luis j gomez
Just kidding.
unidentified
I don't know.
joe rogan
It's...
I think the plant itself is what's magic.
It's a crazy goddamn plant that we're finally getting to appreciate.
And still, there's a lot of places where you still have to buy hemp from Canada.
Large-scale hemp production hasn't really caught on with a good percentage of this country.
That used to be one of the major crops that people would grow.
You could make clothes out of it.
You could eat it.
It makes this shit called...
Hempcrete.
It's like this insanely durable concrete that's made with hemp.
It's a fucking nutty plant, man.
It really is.
Like the stalk of a hemp tree.
Like my friend Todd McCormick had one sitting on his desk once.
And you pick it up, it's like, what is this, from another world?
It's hard, like oak.
unidentified
Hard.
joe rogan
But light as balsa wood.
Light as styrofoam.
luis j gomez
Wait, is a hemp plant different than weed?
joe rogan
No.
No.
I mean, the difference is hemp is not psychoactive.
It's like a psychoactive form of the same sort of kind of plants.
But regular marijuana also is hemp, right?
Because what hemp is is the fibers.
So what we're using to get high is the buds.
luis j gomez
Right.
The stems and all the other leaves and shit.
joe rogan
But the fiber of the plant itself is insanely durable and really light.
And that's the shit they turn into clothes, into string, into all this, into paper, canvas.
The first canvas was made with hemp.
All that stuff.
That's why the word cannabis comes from cannabis.
That's why it's called cannabis.
But they did everything with hemp.
But it's just hard to do, man.
They used to have to beat it down.
They used slave labor most of the time.
And then in the 1930s, some dude came up with something called a decorticator.
It is a machine where you could effectively process the hemp fiber.
And that's when they started going crazy with the reefer madness shit.
It was all an economic thing.
unidentified
Uh-huh.
big jay oakerson
Then the slaves smoked it.
Jazz.
And then jazz.
joe rogan
They already had it.
Everybody was already doing it.
I mean, that was something that was a normal thing with people.
It wasn't until they decided to make it illegal that it became this weird fucking thing that nobody could do something that they've been doing for so long before.
luis j gomez
Aren't they making mushrooms and acid legal somewhere in the States?
joe rogan
In Denver, I think they were.
Stipe Miocic, fucking heavyweight champ of the world, just called.
Sorry.
dave smith
Oh, shit.
joe rogan
Name-dropping.
dave smith
Yeah, he looks great.
joe rogan
Fuck, what a crazy fight.
big jay oakerson
Wow.
luis j gomez
Did I read that somewhere?
joe rogan
Maybe.
luis j gomez
They're doing it?
joe rogan
Maybe.
I mean, that guy...
big jay oakerson
It was like a Rocky movie, just the change.
joe rogan
Yeah.
big jay oakerson
The turn in that fight was so crazy.
joe rogan
Look, DC is my very good friend.
I love him to death.
I love that guy.
It's hard.
It's hard watching a friend that you really love get his ass kicked.
And that's what happened.
dave smith
He was looking great.
joe rogan
Yeah, he looked really good.
Look, he's an awesome person, man.
I love that dude.
And doing commentary with him is the most hilarious, fun time.
He's such a good guy.
luis j gomez
He's great at commentary.
He's very, very articulate and smart.
He's one of the best that does it.
Yeah, dude.
It sucks.
It's just you see the pain on his face when he loses a fight.
He does not like losing.
joe rogan
Of course he doesn't, but neither does Stipe, you know what I mean?
And that's what it's all about.
Those two guys, I have deep respect for Stipe, too.
I've been saying forever that I thought it was fucked up that he was not going to get a title shot, not going to get a rematch.
Instead, they were going to have him fight Brock Lesnar.
I'm like, look, the fight is supposed to be Stipe.
He was the most successful heavyweight ever, won four title fights, won the title, and then defended it three times.
No one's ever done that before.
So that was the giant...
And the guys he beat were fucking really good.
dave smith
And it's not just like you gave it...
It'd be one thing if you said, you know, he got knocked out in the first round, so we're going to give the first crack to this number one contender who's like on a tear or something.
But to just say, Brock Lesnar, because this is a big...
It was the most naked example of this is just for pay-per-view buys.
That kind of sucks for Stipe.
unidentified
Right.
joe rogan
Yeah, it sucks for Stipe.
And I'm glad it didn't happen.
I'm glad that Stipe got his chance.
Because just out of respect for the sport and respect for the true champions of the sport, it doesn't matter what marketability or not.
That guy is the best champion that's ever been in the game.
He's the best heavyweight champion of all time.
So, like, to not recognize that and not, like, that should be a big deal.
dave smith
No, I agree with you.
joe rogan
That should be the fight, but the money of the Brock Lesnar fight would have been so immense that if you're a company that makes entertainment, this is why it's kind of like the UFC in some ways, there's a marriage of entertainment and of sport.
dave smith
And there has to be.
I mean, the people are the ones who are buying the pay-per-views and paying for it, so more of them want this.
luis j gomez
That's where the shit-talk comes in.
It's good for the gander because you get Brock Lesnar to come on a card.
You get massive, massive eyes on it.
Every time you do that, there's a percentage of people who stay fans and become hardcore fans and tell people about it.
There's real value there for everybody.
But the Heavyweight Championship of the World is supposed to be the most prestigious.
You don't see that in any other sport where a guy will be coming off a loss before he is removed.
You know, test positive for steroids and then just get a title shot.
joe rogan
That's a good way of putting it.
dave smith
That's a very good point.
What I want to see, more even than the DC thing, I want to see Francis Ngannou, Stipe too.
Because Francis Ngannou just destroyed Kane and Junior Dos Santos, who, if you guys remember, just a few years ago.
Those were the guys.
luis j gomez
That was King Kong and Godzilla right there.
dave smith
That's the heavyweight division.
And he just destroyed both of them.
He looks like he got his confidence back.
He looks like, you know, like, I want to see that rematch.
joe rogan
Yeah, I'm terrified for everybody who gets in the octagon against that guy.
Every time he fights somebody, I'm like...
Because I remember I still have shell shock for watching Alistair Overeem get hit with that left hook.
luis j gomez
Oh, that was the hardest knockout I've ever seen, ever.
joe rogan
I remember thinking, like, no one's gonna survive that.
dave smith
It looked like the back of Alistair Overeem's head touched his ankles.
He just snapped back.
unidentified
Oh, dude.
joe rogan
I was like, no one...
Everyone's going out from that.
Everyone's going out cold.
luis j gomez
That's the thing with the heavyweight.
You just have to, like, have so much respect because it's like, holy shit, dude.
Like, you're getting in there and it's just like...
At any moment, you're just gone.
I'd rather fight a heavyweight than a 135-pounder, though, just to be hit a thousand times in the head.
joe rogan
That's the punch.
luis j gomez
That should be a t-shirt.
Just the silhouette of that.
big jay oakerson
It's interesting you say that with DC. I just know, as little as we know Mickey Gall, as much as we've been friends with him for a short amount of time, even...
Like, when he fights, there's some different, like, stakes on it.
As a buddy, you're like...
unidentified
It's hard.
big jay oakerson
And you must see that a lot.
unidentified
It's hard.
big jay oakerson
And you're calling it.
joe rogan
Yeah.
big jay oakerson
Like, you can't really put much...
joe rogan
It's hard for me when cowboy fights.
unidentified
Oof.
luis j gomez
I root against Bisping.
joe rogan
Those are hard.
luis j gomez
Actually.
joe rogan
It was really hard when Brendan was fighting him.
That was real hard.
I'm real tight with him.
We're really good friends.
He wasn't really doing it anymore.
He was still in it, but he wasn't really 100% in.
He was thinking about other things.
He was thinking about when he gets out.
He didn't have the same focus and intensity and training as he used to.
That's hard.
dave smith
That's not the sport to do that anymore.
joe rogan
No, it's hard.
Whenever you're thinking about getting out, get out!
Get out!
Because there's people that aren't thinking about getting out.
And you've got to think about what we were talking about earlier.
Mike Tyson is prime.
Angry at everything.
If you're thinking about getting out and you run in front of a guy like that...
Or a girl like that.
There's female kickboxers that are like that too.
They're just fucking vicious, man.
And they're waiting.
You think you're half in, half out, thinking about cheerleading?
Wham!
Shin to the face.
You've got to be all in.
big jay oakerson
You're saying at the end Brendan could have been beaten by a woman?
joe rogan
Yes.
big jay oakerson
Am I following you correctly?
joe rogan
I think at the fucking highest levels of any combat sport, you have to be all in.
I don't think that's something you could dabble in.
luis j gomez
It's a hard thing, though, because I think in MMA, luckily Brendan is a podcaster, comedian.
I think a lot of other guys, they don't have the same...
joe rogan
But they could do other stuff, like Tyron Woodley's rapping.
Tyron Woodley has businesses.
I know he's doing something with CBD. I know he did a record with Wiz Khalifa.
I know he does a lot of TMZ stuff.
He's a funny dude.
luis j gomez
I think you have to become the, look, Tyron's champion.
joe rogan
Tyron's smart.
luis j gomez
Champion, though.
He has a huge name.
joe rogan
He was, but he's still, he's working.
See, he lost his title to Usman, but yet he's still doing all these other things.
luis j gomez
Of course, but I think it's easier when you have that name.
You're a former UFC champion.
And I think that alone will probably sort of set you up as long as you're not a complete idiot for the rest of your life.
But there are guys who never get to that very, very top.
And if they don't sort of set themselves up for afterwards, they're going to, you know, when you think about getting out, you're like, shit, dude, the reason they take those fights.
What was that one documentary I saw where the guy was like, he got like crazy brain injuries.
And his family was just like, dude, don't take another fight.
And he still had to take it.
He's had to pay the bills.
And it was just like, there was just no other option.
He was like barely making money at a gym.
So that's the thing where it's like, it's a sport where you're all in.
And then once it kind of shit hits the fan, it reminds me of comedy.
It takes a minimum 5 to 10 years to figure out if you're going to even be good enough to do it professionally, right?
And then at that point, it's your whole life.
So that's why you never see people quitting.
Nobody quits comedy.
dave smith
You see a lot of people that maybe they start at like 20, and like by 30, they're 10 years in.
And if it's not working out for you, you took the 10 years when you were supposed to be figuring out where the trajectory of life.
Like everyone you knew from high school figured out a job, got a house, got married, whatever.
big jay oakerson
Yeah, but how do you gauge that now?
Because you could do comedy for six months and have a YouTube video where you can make $25,000 on a Sunday doing one Sunday show at an improv.
dave smith
But have you watched that guy's YouTube channel?
Oh, so that's rare.
luis j gomez
That doesn't happen too often.
big jay oakerson
It's not that rare.
luis j gomez
I think it's rare that there's, you know, guys that are doing comedy for six months that are making...
big jay oakerson
Oh, six months.
Sure, sure, sure.
The extreme example, yeah, for sure.
joe rogan
For real, it shouldn't mean anything to us.
big jay oakerson
No, no, it doesn't.
I'm just saying, I'm just making a point that it's not really, there's so many alternative routes now.
No, I'm just saying it's for the guy who puts them in.
Yeah, but even with what Lewis said, like, I agree, technically, in, like, the growth of someone, like, ten years in, they've got their legs under them, like, good, and now they can start figuring out what their direction's going to be exactly and find their market.
That's how you become, like, a honed...
Great comic, hopefully, you know, but, like, you can get popular and have to work under the pressure of a sold-out theater at three years in the comedy.
joe rogan
That is crazy.
big jay oakerson
That's crazy.
I couldn't possibly imagine that, doing that.
joe rogan
Charlie Murphy did it in an even more insane way.
He was famous first, and then he became an open-miker.
dave smith
That's got to be challenging.
joe rogan
Dude, sold out shows.
All he practices, only he's doing giant shows where everybody's coming to see him and Donnell and all these other comics.
luis j gomez
And Donnell's a killer, by the way.
He's going up with monsters from the Chappelle show.
big jay oakerson
How about Jeremy Piven?
How about Jeremy Piven?
luis j gomez
Even Brendan was a star when he started doing comedy.
He was already known, very known.
joe rogan
Yes, he was already known as a UFC fighter.
Yeah, but what Charlie Murphy did was do these sold-out fucking shows, and he was practicing.
I don't know how much time he spent before he went up on stage the first time, knowing that he was going to do stand-up.
dave smith
I think it was pretty impressive.
He was also famous from the Chappelle show, and from two of the greatest comedy sketches ever done, that Dave Chappelle was acting out for him, and they were so funny.
And his brother's Eddie Murphy!
luis j gomez
He's got the fucking...
dave smith
So any expectation when you go in is like, I'm going to see the greatest comedian in the country, and he's doing his third set that he's ever done.
That's crazy.
luis j gomez
Well, stand-up comedy is the only art form that you practice in front of the audience.
There's nothing else, and you have to.
The only way to do it is to practice in front of an audience.
dave smith
You go sit at a painter's apartment and watch them paint.
luis j gomez
Everyone else gets to master their craft by themselves in a fuck whatever it's it could be mixed martial arts in a gym could be in a garage or in a band whatever it is everyone else gets to figure it out but we from moment one is this naked thing we're like all right well let me and it's so douchey I think back to the first time like what fucking type of asshole would even give it a shot for the first time it's like going hey I just wrote this song today and they go well fucking sucks I'm not gonna clap for that terrible song you just wrote Next!
big jay oakerson
They wouldn't.
They would just go, at the end of it, they'd go, yeah, you played a song.
joe rogan
You can make a song in a vacuum.
I mean, there's guys who have created the most amazing fucking songs, and then they let you play them, or let you listen to them, and you're like, whoa, how long have you guys been working on this?
If you have friends that are in a band, and they're like, four months.
Like, holy shit.
They can do it all and put it together from start to finish without anybody else involved other than the producers and them.
We can't do that.
big jay oakerson
No.
joe rogan
We can't.
Anybody who tries is crazy.
big jay oakerson
Didn't somebody try to do a studio stand-up album?
joe rogan
Didn't someone?
No.
big jay oakerson
Well, there was the special...
joe rogan
Drodd Carmichael directed that one.
luis j gomez
Drew Michaels.
joe rogan
That's right.
big jay oakerson
Drew Michaels did the No Audience comedy show.
joe rogan
Yeah.
Take out the best part.
unidentified
The room just got quiet.
luis j gomez
Everyone trying to not shit on Drew Michael.
dave smith
I was just doing an impression of his audience.
joe rogan
I was quite confused.
big jay oakerson
It was confusing.
luis j gomez
But what do you do?
You're Drew Michael, you're a young comic, 10 years in, HBO. You're like, I gotta do it.
unidentified
Fuck.
luis j gomez
I gotta do it.
Jericho Mark wants to produce it and no audience.
joe rogan
Let's see what happens.
There's no way you could feel anything other than weird doing stand-up that you're used to doing in front of an audience to no audience.
You would be fighting feeling weird the entire time you were talking because you know there's no one there.
So you're just talking to a camera.
luis j gomez
And it's also, the audience that's watching, to be honest with you, needs a laugh track.
The reason laugh tracks exist on TV shows is because the audience sometimes, they just need to be told, here's the moment, there we go.
joe rogan
Right, but Curb Your Enthusiasm doesn't have a laugh track.
It's one of the funniest shows of all time.
big jay oakerson
It's not the laugh track, it's the energy that creates.
Just that you're watching this performance, you're part of something, you're supposed to be laughing along with them.
joe rogan
Yeah.
big jay oakerson
Like, laughing...
If a guy, if Drew Michael came to you in person and started saying those funny things to you, like, with that tone, you'd be like, this is uncomfortable.
Even if they're funny things...
luis j gomez
Get the fuck away from me, dude!
big jay oakerson
You'd feel weird to go...
unidentified
What are you doing?
big jay oakerson
You'd feel weird when you hit a punchline to go...
It's like, just you and him is too...
It's too intimate.
joe rogan
Right, you're not even...
When you're doing stand-up, like you and one person.
Right, who the fuck would ever talk like that?
That only works in front of large people.
So you're taking something that only works in front of groups of people.
big jay oakerson
Hey Joe, did you ever go to a convenience store and the guy working there is looking at you like you're not going to buy it?
Why are you saying it like this?
joe rogan
This is so weird.
big jay oakerson
So I says to the guy I says.
luis j gomez
But stand-up comedy is not just talking.
It is using the pauses and using the timing and using the moments where they're supposed to laugh.
There's so much more to it than just saying the jokes.
You know, that's the side of where you go, it's like, I just don't...
As an experiment, I get it.
As like a YouTube video, I get it.
But as your first big special, I would want there to be an audience there.
joe rogan
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, probably.
unidentified
100%.
joe rogan
But I think Gerard is just a creative guy, and he had this idea, and he just ran with it.
I heard he wanted to do it for himself.
unidentified
Did you see the Aziz one?
big jay oakerson
Yeah, he said he wanted to do it for himself.
joe rogan
Did you see the Aziz one?
Where Spike Jones was on stage the whole time?
And they filmed it where you could see the back...
Behind the stage?
Some people mulling around in the back?
dave smith
I found it distracting.
big jay oakerson
Extremely distracting.
joe rogan
I didn't understand why that would be a good idea.
This isn't like you happen to be filming.
Oh, we're up in a film as he's working out here, and you see a bunch of people in the background, but it doesn't matter.
The material's good.
You'll enjoy this.
No, this is a fucking special.
big jay oakerson
You're intentionally making it what it's If you want to have concept to the thing, or concept to kind of bookend the show, it seems like it's all like, hey, look over here, to be like, I really didn't have an hour I'm super happy with.
I haven't seen the material of it to know, I'm not saying Aziz, it's not a good hour, I just feel like when you're throwing...
I would want less fluff to draw to like, hey, listen to these jokes.
Please don't pay attention.
We have the first ever overhead 3D camera on this shot.
joe rogan
It's Spike Jonze, so I think you don't get it.
I think it's one of those things where it's like, hey man, I'd love it if you directed it, and he'd be like, okay, but I want to do something different.
dave smith
Right.
luis j gomez
And then you're like, I trust you.
You're a master at what you do.
I'm a master at what I do.
Let's collaborate.
And I get it.
It was like when Steve Jobs, the first Apple logo, he just paid $250,000 for.
And the deal was he didn't get any revisions.
He got to have a conversation about what he wanted to feel.
And then this weird fucking artist went and created the logo and was like, here it is.
And that's that.
big jay oakerson
Hmm.
joe rogan
Okay, that's a bad deal.
Maybe Steve Jobs is not the businessman we imagined.
big jay oakerson
It's a lot of money for a dude.
joe rogan
I may or may not use your fucking design.
You just need to see it first.
luis j gomez
Can I see a sketch?
big jay oakerson
What do you think he was going to do?
dave smith
$250,000?
We're not even successful yet.
We don't even have a logo.
big jay oakerson
It was pretty easy.
joe rogan
$250, and if I like it...
big jay oakerson
Can you create a logo for my company?
What's it called?
Apple?
Yeah, I got an idea.
unidentified
I got a bite out of it, bitch.
He took a quarter mil and banged that out in six minutes.
joe rogan
Is there a fucking thing that divides this country more than right-left?
It might be Android versus iPhone.
dave smith
Yeah, but people aren't like boycotting businesses over it.
joe rogan
No, they're not.
But people look down on people with Android phones.
dave smith
They sure do.
joe rogan
It's amazing.
big jay oakerson
Why?
Like they're less than?
joe rogan
It's just one of those things.
It's like, if you have an iPhone, you're in.
And if you have an Android phone, you're on that other fucking team.
luis j gomez
It's just like the bare minimum.
If you don't have an iPhone, you're a fucking loser.
That's what it is.
I was an Android guy for years, and I used to be one of the guys like, what's the big difference?
Who gives a shit?
And then I got an iPhone, and I was like, oh, I get it.
joe rogan
What is the difference?
luis j gomez
The difference is just...
The way your fingers...
big jay oakerson
It's the sleekness of the actual pieces.
luis j gomez
Just whatever it is from going from one thing to the next.
If you're opening up a text or going to a phone, everything is just very seamless and it's smooth and it feels very natural and very nice.
And Android, because so many different people use that sort of Android platform, it's always clunky and it's not exactly the same, so it never feels as smooth.
Once you get used to your iPhone, that's that.
big jay oakerson
I agree.
I know very successful people that stick by Android.
joe rogan
The newest Android phones are pretty fucking smooth.
If you picked up like...
big jay oakerson
Galaxies, whatever.
joe rogan
Yeah, like a Galaxy S10. Those are a smooth fucking phone, man.
Those things are as good as anything.
There's a bunch of phones now on the side of Android that rival or are better than iPhones.
big jay oakerson
Yeah, with some of the technologies ahead.
joe rogan
The Note 10 that just came out.
luis j gomez
Is there one that's not Android or iPhone that's dope that people just don't know about?
joe rogan
There's no other operating system, which is really weird.
It's like you have three operating systems.
You have iPhones, you have Android, and there's still a few people that have Windows phones, believe it or not.
luis j gomez
Blackberry?
joe rogan
Well, who the fuck uses that?
luis j gomez
I think they came out with a new Blackberry.
joe rogan
Tom Segura uses a Blackberry?
He loves it, yeah.
I think that's a joke, bro.
I think that's a gag.
If I text him, it goes blue.
He's got a fucking iPhone.
luis j gomez
It's like Ori.
Ori pretends to not have a fucking real phone.
joe rogan
Yeah.
luis j gomez
Ori's got multiple phones, pads.
He's a fucking phony asshole.
unidentified
I talked to him about it one time.
jamie vernon
He does have it, but he doesn't use it.
joe rogan
Oh, he hasn't.
Okay.
Yeah, he's got it.
I think it was a joke, though.
I think he really did miss those little...
If you had a Blackberry back in the day, the thing about texting people, you knew where everything was.
You knew where those buttons were.
You could text pretty quick.
luis j gomez
That little ball would break.
It was so fucking annoying.
joe rogan
Yeah, that thing would break.
The difference between that and an iPhone is pretty substantial, but the difference between iPhones and Android is not substantial anymore.
The new Android operating system is pretty fucking small.
dave smith
I know the iPhone.
I can't go back.
I just know it.
I don't want to relearn a new phone.
I sat down with a PC the other day.
big jay oakerson
The iPhone is now, since Steve Jobs is gone, that iPhone's catching up on the technology to Android.
A lot of things you go, look what my iPhone does now.
Someone has Android.
We've had two generations of that technology already.
joe rogan
The argument, though, would be that they wait until the technology is out and all the bugs are knocked out of it, and then they give you a superior version of it.
That's the argument.
I mean, look, it's the most successful company in the fucking history of the known universe.
It's shit-fucked tons of cash.
big jay oakerson
I can't believe they didn't get the folding phone first.
joe rogan
I don't think that thing's worth a fuck.
I want a folding phone.
big jay oakerson
I couldn't guess it.
It looks like it's weird.
joe rogan
What are we doing here?
Making it fatter?
luis j gomez
Origami.
joe rogan
How about just give me this?
This is a good shape, you folks.
They're just constantly...
We've got to figure out how to get it in your body.
big jay oakerson
If you can roll it up like a little fortune cookie.
joe rogan
The thing I'm worried about is the Elon Musk thing.
The Neuralink.
Are you hearing about that?
dave smith
I'm not sure.
joe rogan
It's the next step to integrating computers with your fucking brain.
It's going to happen, right?
If it's not this Elon Musk thing doesn't do that, then the next thing will.
The ultimate goal is going to be we're going to have pieces in our body.
dave smith
What's the name?
Chips.
joe rogan
Some computer thing.
dave smith
The word of, like, merging with the body?
joe rogan
Singularity?
dave smith
Yeah, yeah.
joe rogan
Symbiotic.
big jay oakerson
I was going to say cyborg.
unidentified
Cyborg.
joe rogan
Symbiotic cyborg.
Yeah.
Well, that's true, too.
luis j gomez
Singularity.
dave smith
Singularity.
That's what I was thinking of.
joe rogan
Oh, the singularity is what they think would be the ultimate technological innovation that radically transforms mankind.
And they move that number around.
And I think the singularity they think for artificial intelligence, there was a symposium in New York a few years back that Ari and I and Duncan Trussell went to.
I think it was like 2045. That's when they think.
They think at 2045, these things are going to go live.
And there will be robot, just like ex machina type people walking around with us.
luis j gomez
Oh, for sure.
I mean, I think I heard part of the conversation you had with Elon Musk, and it was one of the most interesting things, because for a while I was going, yeah, dude, if you just put your phone down, people don't really give a shit.
You go to the supermarket, people aren't arguing about politics, but eventually what's going to happen is the phones are going to be in our fucking brains, and you're never going to be able to put the phone down.
And it's going to be, that's the world we live in, where we are just at war.
And that's where it's fucking scary.
That's what I don't like about it.
big jay oakerson
Did we jump in too quick, too?
Hasn't there already been a whole bunch of self-driving car podcasts?
joe rogan
Accidents.
big jay oakerson
Terrible things happen.
luis j gomez
Way more human accidents.
joe rogan
It's better.
big jay oakerson
Is it more human accidents per amount of cars, though?
Do you know what I'm saying?
joe rogan
Self-driving cars, really, you're not supposed to just sit there.
You're supposed to hold on to the wheel.
I keep a hand on the wheel.
It makes you do that.
You can't just drive it.
You can't just sit back.
It needs you to be engaged.
big jay oakerson
Tell that to little Duvall, who just takes videos of him taking a nap and smoking joints out the window.
He's not involved at all.
luis j gomez
So can you get that blocked for the sensors?
I'm assuming it's a sensor type thing.
joe rogan
There's a thing that you can do that's actually like an iPhone mount.
Like a cell phone mount.
And it sits on the handle.
And it keeps pressure on the handle.
So the handle thinks that you're holding onto the handle.
And you have your iPhone on it.
Take that, robots!
So they sell it as an iPhone holder.
But really what it is is something that squeezes on the handle.
But they can't sell it as that.
Because that would be illegal.
big jay oakerson
It should be illegal.
joe rogan
It's pretty goddamn good, that thing.
luis j gomez
But eventually, I way more trust AutoDrive.
I trust them to be able to come up with the technology where they have everything on perfect grids, where we all get in our cars, and the absolute fastest way for us to get from point A to point B is already mapped out.
Traffic, all that shit.
That's not that crazy.
I feel like that has to be within 20, 30 years.
big jay oakerson
Wait, it changes lanes and everything?
joe rogan
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, it changes lanes.
big jay oakerson
Did it blow your mind the first time you were on a highway with it?
unidentified
It blows your mind.
big jay oakerson
Were you terrified the first time?
luis j gomez
Does it blow you?
How cool would that be if it sucked your dick?
joe rogan
That's coming.
Oh, that's coming.
It probably won't ever suck your dick.
It'll probably just give you the experience in a chip.
While you click.
She appears.
3D hologram lady appears and starts blowing you.
It feels like it's real, but nothing's there.
luis j gomez
It's Whitney Houston, your celebrities.
unidentified
Wow.
big jay oakerson
Remember how they made the future in 80s movies, though, where the dick-sucking car would actually be like a hose would come out of the ground?
That would be the feeling.
Look at this.
A mouth hose.
joe rogan
Would you really trust that mouth hose with your cock?
dave smith
I'm going to wait until the third or fourth version.
big jay oakerson
I watched Total Recall recently, which is like, you know, the future.
unidentified
The new one or the old one?
big jay oakerson
Not Total Recall.
The running man.
unidentified
Oh, wow.
big jay oakerson
And it was like, when he was holding the girl hostage, she was in the house like, let's look up what flights are around.
And it's just such obvious, like Atari graphics on the screen.
joe rogan
It's like the year 2050. No one really has good ideas of what the future's going to be.
Even Minority Report, when they're moving stuff around on the screen.
Maybe, maybe someday.
But no one's done anything where you go, wow, that would be amazing if that was it.
luis j gomez
I'm sure there was a list.
big jay oakerson
That's sort of the Apple thing, though, is that Apple tries to make their stuff live up to what they made like 1950s space movies.
Everything's like very metallic and sleek looking.
Like the Gattaca, the uniform.
luis j gomez
Well, the packaging as well.
Apple's a great company.
They really are.
But when you open up an iPhone or an Apple product...
The packaging, it has like an air thing where it lifts naturally.
And it's all based off the experience.
Like when you open it, you go, I've never opened another product like this.
And they do that on purpose.
And it's this subconscious thing that they fucking put into your mind.
And that's why you go, dude, just, I don't know what it is, dude.
iPhone.
I can't put my finger on it.
joe rogan
That's why chicks buy expensive bags.
luis j gomez
Yep.
joe rogan
Same thing.
unidentified
Like, ooh, ah, quality.
big jay oakerson
This will last forever.
joe rogan
If you write, though, if you write a lot and type a lot, they're the shittiest.
Their fucking keyboards are dog shit.
The new ones, they're clickety-clickety-clickety.
There's no travel.
They're just clickety-clickety-clickety-clickety, and shit gets stuck in them, and they're trying to figure out how to fix that.
luis j gomez
My spacebar doesn't work on my Apple, so I've copied the space.
So whenever I write, I have to...
joe rogan
It's just not comfortable for typing on.
How much fucking thinner does it have to be?
Jesus Christ.
I know you guys are trying to make them thin, but make them so they're comfortable to type on.
All you have to do is make it thicker.
It doesn't have to be that thin, man.
luis j gomez
Yeah, a big old gray keyboard is the most comfortable thing.
The old school thing that we learned.
But I think it's because we learned how to type on that.
joe rogan
No, it's because they're mechanical.
Your fingers feel the tactile sensation of pushing in those springs.
So it's like clickety-clickety-click, clickety-click, and your fingers know where the keys are.
When you don't get any feedback, you make a lot of errors.
Like, it's not as easy.
It takes a long time to get accustomed to that short-travel keyboard that you get on those really thin MacBooks.
I have a 2015 MacBook.
I got an old one refurbished, because I hate the fucking new keyboard.
It's like, I don't know what I'm touching.
It's not moving.
It's so shallow.
But apparently they've got to fix that.
Dude, I have an IBM, or not an IBM, a Lenovo ThinkPad.
That thing is like the old IBM ThinkPad.
Lenovo bought the company, and now they make them.
You feel the keys.
It's like, as you're typing, they have like 1.5 millimeters of travel, which is like clickety-clickety-click.
luis j gomez
Next time I come in, me and Joe, we're going to have a typing competition.
I think I could...
I make no mistakes with the new Apple.
It's fine.
I think once you're used to it, you're used to it.
unidentified
Maybe.
luis j gomez
I think you need to let yourself go to the new technology.
joe rogan
I'd use both of them, but I like the typing way better on the Lenovo.
It's just...
This is not like just me.
This is a big...
The thing that people who write a lot say is that you want something that has a lot of key travel.
Because 1.5, preferably maybe even 1.8 millimeter, something like that, when you're doing that, you get a real good feel of where the keys are.
You don't fuck up as much.
big jay oakerson
You also feel like you know you've hit the button.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah.
joe rogan
It gives you this feedback, and you don't think about...
What I find is that I'm writing on one of those things.
I don't think about...
The keys as much as I'm concentrating on writing.
Otherwise I'm like...
That little extra thing where you gotta look down.
Oh, I fucked up and I hit that instead of that.
That doesn't happen as much.
Way less.
luis j gomez
How often are you guys washing your keyboards?
joe rogan
Never!
dave smith
It's brutal.
luis j gomez
I feel bad every time my son touches my computer and I'm like, ooh.
joe rogan
It's probably keeping them healthy.
luis j gomez
Dude, it's funny.
There's so much fucking bacteria on that computer.
big jay oakerson
I got a keyboard cover.
I'm going to use that dust blast thing.
It's great.
joe rogan
Oh, yeah, man.
luis j gomez
I don't use any of that.
big jay oakerson
Just blow and come right out of your circuit board.
joe rogan
Everything is gross.
Your fucking kitchen table's gross.
Everything's gross.
unidentified
I know.
luis j gomez
Do you think about homeless people touching guardrails?
It's like, you go and touch that, like, ah!
joe rogan
Homeless people don't get sick.
big jay oakerson
The subway rails must be just...
dave smith
Oh, it's brutal.
luis j gomez
The amount of times I've done this in New York City, like I'll be going to put my hand on the...
And I just don't touch handrails anymore, and I make sure that my son doesn't.
But I've just been putting my hand down the rail, and then I just pick up a booger.
Like a human booger.
And I'm like, okay, that just ruined my week.
big jay oakerson
The story just ruined my hour.
joe rogan
Damn, dude.
big jay oakerson
I've definitely said...
luis j gomez
So you're going to flick it and then it gets stuck on your thumb and you flick it again and it gets stuck on that finger?
joe rogan
Something about other dudes' boogers.
big jay oakerson
There's no way.
That would end my day.
luis j gomez
And your own kid's booger.
I'll pick my son's nose in a heartbeat.
joe rogan
That's different, though.
That's your own son.
dave smith
I mean, he's six now.
You should stop.
joe rogan
Definitely stop picking his nose.
How old is it when you'd be really concerned if your son is still sucking their thumb?
How many years in?
big jay oakerson
Shit.
luis j gomez
When it's a dick.
joe rogan
Wait!
unidentified
That's not what we're talking about.
luis j gomez
When it's not a thumb anymore.
joe rogan
Be concerned until you confirm and then go, okay, well, now I know.
luis j gomez
My son never sucked his thumb, so...
joe rogan
If you had a kid, though.
If you had a boy.
big jay oakerson
I have a girl.
joe rogan
She never sucked his thumb either.
luis j gomez
She loves sucking thumb.
joe rogan
You don't have any kids.
dave smith
I got an eight-month-old.
joe rogan
Oh, you do?
dave smith
Oh, congratulations.
joe rogan
I didn't know you were out there breeding.
dave smith
I am.
joe rogan
Congratulations.
Now you've become even more libertarian, correct?
dave smith
Yeah, but not with her.
I'm an authoritarian with my baby.
I make the decisions there.
joe rogan
That's a good move.
Don't let babies call the shots.
dave smith
No.
joe rogan
It'll be just sugar and guns.
dave smith
But I'm...
joe rogan
Teach a baby how to shoot a gun.
A baby could actively shoot a gun.
Like, you know how much of a fucking giant problem that would be?
Like, if a baby was just like...
unidentified
Now I'm feeling like I'm not enough of a libertarian.
joe rogan
Yeah, because...
dave smith
Here's a gun.
Go homestead some land.
joe rogan
Their body can't really hold a gun and shoot it, right?
It would go flying.
There's no way.
But if they could...
Do you know what a great time they would think it would be to shoot things?
If you're a fucking baby and you had a gun, you're just like...
luis j gomez
They love it.
The projectiles, my son.
There's Nerf guns.
That's how I know he's not gay.
He loves to shoot things.
joe rogan
There's a lot of gay people that shoot things.
unidentified
No.
dave smith
That's how I know he's not gay.
He kept shooting his friend in the face the other day.
joe rogan
What do you think about bears?
big jay oakerson
I think he was hiding the bullets in his butt.
joe rogan
If you had a bunch of bears that you couldn't take them out to a shotgun range and shoot clay pigeons.
luis j gomez
Yeah, for like 15 minutes before they start fucking each other.
joe rogan
Yeah, eventually.
luis j gomez
Yeah.
Like, oh my god, the shape of this guy is getting me so horny.
joe rogan
They're guys.
They're just guys who like guys.
They got the wacky wire.
luis j gomez
But the gay kids that I grow up, I'm sure, yes, there are gay guys who like to do doodly dude things, right?
big jay oakerson
Oh, definitely.
unidentified
But...
joe rogan
Doodly dude things.
luis j gomez
You know, fuck out of dudes.
I mean, how many gay friends do you have that are like, we should really go shooting guns right now.
Let's go hunt.
big jay oakerson
I bet there's a bunch.
luis j gomez
They want to shop!
And that's fine!
unidentified
They want to shop!
luis j gomez
They do!
They want to go...
joe rogan
Some of them, but isn't it like girls?
Like, there's girls that are like woodsy girls.
Girls who want to live in the woods and shit.
luis j gomez
Yeah.
I think these are exceptions.
big jay oakerson
Yeah, if you're a gay, like, mountain-y guy, and you're into other mountain-y guys, probably gonna have an alright life.
unidentified
Yeah.
luis j gomez
That's also pretty hot.
joe rogan
Gay mountain-y guys alone, just fucking bolting down the door before they butt-fuck, looking out the window, making sure the neighbors don't know what...
So are you fellas brothers and sisters?
Brother and brother?
What's going on here?
big jay oakerson
They run a seasonal marina, and then they just suck and fuck in the off-season.
joe rogan
Yeah, you go down the road where those two homos live.
big jay oakerson
Yeah.
joe rogan
Those two woodsy homos.
big jay oakerson
There's a couple of whatever.
There's a couple of how-do-you-do's living in the old fishing house.
joe rogan
Don't get me wrong.
Great guys.
Great guys.
luis j gomez
I got no problem.
big jay oakerson
No problem with them.
joe rogan
All they do is chop wood and butt fuck.
big jay oakerson
That was the Bagel Boss guy when he said that.
He goes, I got no problem with gay people.
He goes, just don't touch me, you know?
Especially in the private area.
Then we'll have the problem.
I go, is that what your life's worried about?
You don't want to hang out around gay people because they're probably just going to start grabbing viciously at your dick?
joe rogan
Do you think that guy is going to stick in there?
Do you think he's going to be like Joe the Plumber?
Or do you think he's going to have some legs to him?
dave smith
No, I think this is going to go away.
big jay oakerson
I think Lenny Dykstra is going to knock him out unconsciously.
luis j gomez
He's 5'10".
I know he's got alcohol problems and shit, but he's got those big hands.
I saw the video of him getting arrested the other day.
joe rogan
He's going to hit the Bagel Boss?
unidentified
Lenny Dykstra is fighting Bagel Boss in Celebrity Boxing.
Yeah.
joe rogan
That's terrible.
big jay oakerson
And Lenny Dykstra's, you know, older now, but I mean, he's Lenny Dykstra.
He's a lunatic.
luis j gomez
He's only like 55, something like that.
big jay oakerson
Yeah, he looks like 70, but he's still a fucking stocky dude.
I mean, like, Lenny Dykstra's gonna fuck him up.
luis j gomez
He's four foot eight.
He's, I mean...
big jay oakerson
Five, what's he?
He's four...
luis j gomez
He's really small.
There's no chance.
big jay oakerson
There's no chance.
joe rogan
Don't.
You've seen that guy.
He went to someone's MMA gym and he was hanging out with a bunch of fighters and he was throwing punches and dancing around the ring.
I want to say Matt Serra.
Was it Matt Serra?
Chris Weidman?
luis j gomez
Yeah, he's a Long Island guy.
joe rogan
Yeah, so he was out there.
He doesn't have a background in martial arts, like you could tell.
luis j gomez
No, yeah, it's over.
joe rogan
He can't really fight.
luis j gomez
And he's also out of shape.
joe rogan
He's out of shape, and he's a tiny little fella.
big jay oakerson
Fight like a butterfly, sting like a butterfly.
luis j gomez
There's no...
Yeah, there's no learning how to fight, getting in shape, doing it all.
Like, yeah.
joe rogan
He's too small.
luis j gomez
Yeah, Lenny Dexter looks like he's been in a bunch of fistfights.
I'm sorry he has.
big jay oakerson
Dude, he used to be like...
luis j gomez
He got arrested like...
big jay oakerson
He was jacked at a point in his life.
I mean, like, shredded.
luis j gomez
And you're not losing that strength.
unidentified
You're not going to lose...
luis j gomez
Even if he's out of shape, even if he's...
big jay oakerson
He's still a strong, like, bulky guy, I'm sure.
joe rogan
This isn't even a conversation.
He's going to kill him.
big jay oakerson
So you're saying lay heavy.
Lay heavy on Lenny.
unidentified
You bet.
The whole...
joe rogan
He'll push it all in on Lenny Dykstra.
Are you crazy?
He's a fucking pro athlete.
big jay oakerson
I think there's no integrity in celebrity boxing, though.
I don't know if you could bet a zillion dollars.
Is that him now?
Yeah, it's him now.
joe rogan
He's only 55?
That's crazy.
big jay oakerson
No, he's older than that, isn't he?
luis j gomez
Maybe a little bit older.
big jay oakerson
He's older than that.
luis j gomez
I just looked it up the other day.
He's not that old.
joe rogan
He was a legit wild man.
big jay oakerson
Yeah, when he was that right there.
luis j gomez
He looks like Mike Vickie.
joe rogan
That guy was a legit wild man.
Look at that.
Lenny Dystra indicted for drugs threats following arrest in May.
dave smith
Yeah, he's winning this fight.
luis j gomez
He's an Uber driver.
He was high on ecstasy and coke and got into an argument with his Uber driver and then threatened his life when the cops come.
joe rogan
Did he?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
That's what happened?
luis j gomez
Yeah, the cops come and they're like, yeah, this guy's saying he's a favorite for his life.
He's like, what?
unidentified
For me?
luis j gomez
For me!
He plays so innocent, it's hilarious.
joe rogan
Oh, that's funny.
luis j gomez
And then they start checking his bag and he starts freaking out about them going through his bag.
big jay oakerson
He's 56. Wow.
Wow, I thought he was older than that even.
unidentified
Damn.
joe rogan
He's living them hard years, son.
Ahead of Celebrity Fight.
Lenny Dykstra says Bagel Boss has one-inch penis.
That is outrageous.
Click on that, please.
unidentified
This is so rude.
luis j gomez
The world we live in.
big jay oakerson
Lenny Dykstra went on Howard Stern and he said he had girls come on to say how good he eats pussy and they were swearing him down.
It was a comic, so he brought comedians from LA. And then the comedians immediately just used it for a credit and then just debunked his whole thing.
So he flew them in for nothing.
joe rogan
Oh, that's funny.
It's crazy that he's going to hit that little guy.
Because that's so wrong.
I guess the little guy feels like he can just go down quick.
dave smith
Yeah, in celebrity boxing, it doesn't usually get too brutal.
I think, you know...
joe rogan
This guy's going to punch him once and it might kill him.
big jay oakerson
I think Bonaduce used to go for it, though.
joe rogan
That's not going to help you.
Headgear doesn't help you at all.
Headgear sometimes makes it worse because you get all this extra weight and your head snaps more.
If you get headgear on, that's more shit that you have to control.
One of the things about having a strong neck is when you get punched, you can kind of control your head from moving around too much.
Some guys can take it better.
But if you have headgear on, it's like extra weight.
And your brain sloshes around inside your head.
I mean, it protects you from cuts more than anything.
There's an argument that it would protect you from cuts.
But protecting you from the thud?
Because it's the fucking rocking of your brain.
In some ways, it's a real mixed bag.
In some ways, it's better to have headgear on because it is a little more cushioning.
But in other ways, it's...
luis j gomez
I think it makes it way more dangerous.
big jay oakerson
You followed it on and took it off, because I was surprised you did that, but you were like, just fuck it.
luis j gomez
Well, I didn't want to fight with the headgear.
I tried to change it at the end, because I started sparring with it, and it fucking sucks dick, dude.
You can't breathe.
joe rogan
You can't see that good.
luis j gomez
You can't see.
When you start grappling, you start feeling like you're being smothered right away, no matter what.
As soon as they touch your head, you feel like it starts moving up in your face.
So I tried to get them to take it off, and they wouldn't.
And then my headgear broke in the first minute of the fight, and they were like, all right, fuck it, take it off, because it was a shit show.
So we both took off our headgear, and I was like...
unidentified
Alright, sweet.
joe rogan
Where's the rules?
Yeah.
Headgear's a tricky thing.
You know, it's like they think that about football helmets, too.
That there would actually be a safer game if they couldn't clash heads with a helmet on.
That they wouldn't do it.
They wouldn't play like that.
luis j gomez
That's just not true.
Them clashing skulls is not safer.
unidentified
It's not true.
joe rogan
But the idea is that the only reason why they play that way is because of the helmets and the shoulder gear.
But if you took that stuff away, they wouldn't play like that.
luis j gomez
Well, back in the day, they barely had any pads in the 30s or 40s or whatever when they were playing with those little tiny helmets.
joe rogan
Bro, that game, if you were an outsider, if you didn't know how big it was, if you didn't understand anything about the cultural significance of football, and they showed you all the brain damage, and they showed you what it is, you'd be like, oh yeah, make that illegal.
dave smith
Yeah, probably.
If anything, it should be illegal.
joe rogan
Stop doing that, kids.
big jay oakerson
It's too constant, yeah.
joe rogan
Don't just run into each other.
Don't smash heads.
That's crazy.
big jay oakerson
The concept of defensive-offensive line, just the idea that it's the funniest thing.
As soon as you say go, just clunk heads with another human being.
joe rogan
But of course, we don't want it to be illegal, and it's a fun thing to watch, and it's a great way for some guys to make a fuckload of money and weigh the risks versus the rewards.
luis j gomez
Yeah, but then a bunch of middle schoolers are snapping their necks, and my kid will never play football.
dave smith
Oh.
But where do you stop?
They could illegalize MMA with that justification.
I don't want that to happen.
luis j gomez
Because punching and kicking is so inherently violent.
We see it as being this violent act, right?
We go, oh shit, fighting.
That's like crazy.
That's the most violent sport.
But it's so much less of a dangerous sport than football.
Football, these guys are just running headfirst at each other, and every one of them has major, major issues.
dave smith
You also get blindsided in football.
You'll have your eye on someone, and then you get head-to-head taken out from someone else.
That doesn't happen as much in MMA, but...
I mean, when people get, like, head kicked, knocked, unconscious, that's not good for your brain.
luis j gomez
No, but how often are football players being concussed?
unidentified
All the time.
luis j gomez
All the time, yeah.
And then they get up and they just do it again and again and again.
dave smith
Well, now they're a little bit stricter, I think, on, like, if you get a concussion, they won't put you back in, at least the way they used to, like, when I was a kid.
But...
It's still happening all the time.
luis j gomez
But I think fighters are getting concussed once a year, if they're getting knocked out once a year.
joe rogan
But there's also sub-concussive trauma, which seems to be the problem with CTE. It's not just the knockouts, it's just the thumps.
Over and over again.
luis j gomez
And training, sparring.
joe rogan
They think that's the real problem.
That's why also soccer players are getting it.
dave smith
Soccer players are starting to get CT. So what's worse, getting a Conor McGregor one-punch knockout or fighting Nick Diaz and just getting like...
unidentified
That's a good question.
dave smith
For five rounds.
joe rogan
You're probably better off getting one-punch knockout.
big jay oakerson
Flash knockout is probably better than...
joe rogan
Yeah, you're probably better off getting dropped.
luis j gomez
Just getting beat up by Nick Diaz for 15 minutes would just suck.
big jay oakerson
Wasn't that the actual...
Wasn't the initial argument about MMA being...
Safer than boxing is that it's not so much...
With the gloves being bigger and boxing and all that stuff, it's actually worse because you're going to keep taking too many shots.
luis j gomez
Well, standing eight count as well.
You can get knocked down and then get up and go right...
You'll be concussed and be like, all right, keep on fighting.
Whereas in MMA, they'll stop it if you're not defending yourself.
joe rogan
That's probably definitely better.
Yeah, the thing about...
8 counts and 10 counts.
But people have gotten off the deck and had amazing performances, so you never want to stop it.
Look at Tyson Fury.
Gets off the deck twice against Deontay Wilder.
In MMA, that fight would have been stopped.
Particularly the last round.
When he dropped him, he would have definitely punched him a few times and he would have been out cold.
Because he was flat.
Flat on his back.
In MMA, that would be the end of the fight.
We are lucky it wasn't, because he got up like a fucking superhero and even won the rest of the round.
He outboxed him for the rest of the round.
He survived the initial barrage and then started catching him as he was coming in and as Deontay was being reckless.
He caught him one time, like stung him.
And you're like, holy shit, he's winning this round now.
He's winning the rest of the round after getting almost obliterated.
So there's an argument that that's better.
dave smith
The crazy thing from the CTE perspective about boxing to me is that people will get hit and then they get hit and grab someone because that's just everyone's instinct.
And they grab them and then you have a little ref who goes, no, no, no, no, no.
Keep punching at the heads.
Don't do anything to avoid from hitting.
unidentified
No, no, no, no.
dave smith
Step it back out.
And that in MMA, you'll see a lot.
Someone get hit and then they get into a clinch and you get a few minutes in a clinch where they're kind of like, okay, I'm not taking head damage right now.
joe rogan
But the smart thing about that is that's how you're supposed to fight.
You're giving people options to defend themselves.
It shouldn't be you can't defend yourself other than punching back.
That seems kind of crazy.
But I could grab them and just stop these punches.
No, no, no.
Against the rules.
What kind of rules do we have?
You can only beat me up if I let you beat me up?
big jay oakerson
You can both look like pussies and dance around for a half hour.
dave smith
But do you remember the original Gracie videos that they'd make in early UFC? Gracie in action.
Yeah, and what they used to say all the time, and it's so true, what's so interesting is that if two boxers just have a street fight, they're going into a clinch, and it's probably going to end up on the ground at some point.
Sometimes, yeah.
The ref has to break up a clinch over and over and over again to make boxing happen.
Even when you're a professional boxer and you don't know anything about wrestling or grappling, you still end up grabbing the other guy because that's just like...
joe rogan
The only time that doesn't take place is when one guy knows how to strike and the other guy doesn't.
And you see a lot of those videos online where two dudes decide to get into some sort of a street altercation and one guy actually is like a boxer and he catches the guy and the guy falls and bounces his head off the concrete out cold.
There's a bunch of those videos.
dave smith
Yeah, that's bad.
joe rogan
That's different.
See, the thing about the Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is, like, you've got to always be aware there's people like that out there.
There's always guys who can punch you in the face.
And if they know how to wrestle, too, and they can keep you away and just keep punching you in the face, you better know how to take them down.
luis j gomez
You just don't know, dude.
Fuck, dude.
2019, you have no idea who knows who what.
dave smith
Now people know shit.
luis j gomez
You've got to look at their ears.
You've got to look for little signs, like, look in their eyes, shake their hands.
joe rogan
Look at the size of their necks.
Yeah, dude.
Dudes with skinny necks aren't getting choked.
big jay oakerson
But yeah, as far as skill, definitely you don't know.
joe rogan
It's a weird time for fighting.
I like both kinds.
I like just stand-up only fights.
I like watching those, and I like mixed martial arts fights.
But I think Terrence Crawford's coming on next, and I think watching someone like him box, when you see the skill level that that guy has, switching stances, doing all kinds of befuddling people, getting their range, figuring them out, and then just teeing them up with perfect timing.
That's...
Almost only possible that kind of artistry if there's no wrestling.
If there's no leg kicks.
If there's only the boxing.
That's the only way you see that.
That kind of beautiful combination.
Because otherwise you would do other shit too.
You would leg kick.
You would try to take them down.
The level of dominance that a real Floyd Mayweather, a real world champion boxer has with their hands, it's hard to really appreciate until you see it live and you know what you're seeing.
If you're in the building with a guy who's beating You guys are playing two totally different games.
luis j gomez
I literally look at boxing as very much a sport, and I think MMA is the closest thing that we have to competitive fighting.
joe rogan
100%.
luis j gomez
That's sort of the difference.
All things considered, it's still not fighting.
You can't grab somebody's fucking balls and yank them off their body and bite their nose.
joe rogan
You couldn't bite and you couldn't eye gouge.
big jay oakerson
Hit him with a fucking trash can lid.
joe rogan
You can't fish hook.
But you used to be able to punch the balls.
There was a fucking great video of Keith Hackney fighting Joe Son.
Joe Son got him in a headlock.
And Keith Hackney's just hammering his dick.
I mean, full blast punches.
Over and over again.
And you see Joe Son's going into shock.
dave smith
He takes a few of them and he's like, I'm not letting go of this choke.
And then by like the fourth, fifth dick punch, it's like, this is all over, man.
joe rogan
It's over.
He was a drained man.
luis j gomez
Who was, was it Kimo?
Was he headbutting Hoist Gracie?
dave smith
Yeah, he headbutted him a bunch.
luis j gomez
Yeah, dude, that was fucking brutal.
unidentified
Brutal.
joe rogan
There was a lot of headbutting back in the days.
It was an effective weapon.
And it makes us like, oh, that's awful.
But there's all these other bones.
How come you're allowed to hit with these bones, but you can't hit with that bone?
luis j gomez
Also, I would rather be headbutted by a guy that...
I don't give a shit.
There's not much technique in headbutting.
I would rather be headbutted than be headkicked by a dude who knows how to headkick.
joe rogan
There's no technique, but there really is.
There's guys that spar and they fight in Lethwe.
And Lethwe is a type of Muay Thai where they put ropes over their knuckles.
That's the only thing they have.
And they're allowed to headbutt.
And it's some wild ass shit.
And they do headbutt combinations on the pad.
Like they'll do tap, tap, bang!
They'll use their head and train it.
unidentified
Wow.
joe rogan
See if you can find that.
Lethwe.
W-E-I-L-U-T-H. You know who does commentary for it?
It's our friend Robin Black.
He does commentary for Lethwe.
But this is a brutal form of Muay Thai where you're allowed to headbutt.
Because they already elbow.
And I think they're thinking, well, if I can knee and if I can punch, I can do all these things.
Why can I headbutt?
It's right there.
His fucking face is right there.
Just, ah!
dave smith
Remember what Mark Coleman used to do?
He got a few UFCs in before the headbutts were illegal.
joe rogan
He would smash people with the headbutts.
Look at this combination.
This is a Robin Black breakdown.
This dude goes off to the side, pushes the dude's head away, and then immediately comes in with a perfect headbutt.
Boom.
He's just slamming him in the face on purpose with the top of his head.
So he's trying to hit like his eyes and his nose and the soft tissue.
He's trying to hit that with the hard part of his forehead.
big jay oakerson
Yeah, I think that will do a lot more damage than a fist.
luis j gomez
I feel like a head butt only works one out of every thousand times.
joe rogan
No, man.
No, no, no.
No, this guy does it a lot.
And if you do it this way, the way he's doing it, you're taking a really hard part of your forehead and you're smashing against a soft part of the eyes and the nose.
This part of your forehead is hard as fuck, man.
Most guys who break their hand in fights break their hands on foreheads.
luis j gomez
Top of the head, yeah.
joe rogan
Especially boxing.
big jay oakerson
The Tequila reality show where the two guys were fighting over it.
That was a reality show.
Remember that?
luis j gomez
Oh, he broke his chin open, dude?
big jay oakerson
He headbutts him in the thing.
It separates his teeth.
He takes a headbutt to the mouth.
He's spitting out.
It's like the blood's not turning.
You ever see someone get cut where the blood's not turning red yet?
It's black.
luis j gomez
It's not just teeth splitting.
What happens is his jaw splits down the middle where you literally see his teeth separate because it cracks in half like that.
It's the most horrific thing I've ever seen.
This is VH1, by the way.
joe rogan
I saw that in a women's fight.
I saw that in a women's fight.
big jay oakerson
Really?
joe rogan
Yeah, yeah.
It was Randy Couture's wife, Kim Couture.
luis j gomez
Oh yeah, she fought.
joe rogan
She got her jaw broken and it was separated and she went out and fought the next round.
unidentified
Wow.
joe rogan
With the jaw separated.
dave smith
Like a predator.
joe rogan
Inside, it was moving around.
And then she had to get it wired up and fixed after the fight.
It was crazy.
luis j gomez
A kid that I knew in the sixth grade, he got into a fistfight with this other kid.
And this other kid had brass knuckles.
And brass knuckles were regular.
You could buy them at the mall when I was a kid.
Martial arts style.
You could get like butterfly knives, nunchucks.
joe rogan
Yeah, flying stars.
luis j gomez
Yeah, brass tongue.
unidentified
Like you could just go in as 12 and buy deadly weapons.
joe rogan
Yeah, man.
Those little stores that would sell nunchucks.
unidentified
Psy.
big jay oakerson
Yeah, the size.
unidentified
The size.
Hell yeah.
joe rogan
The coup baton.
Remember coup batons?
luis j gomez
So this kid had brass knuckles, and he fucking drilled this kid in the face and broke his jaw.
And for the whole school year, like half school year, he had to have a wired jaw.
He was just drinking chocolate milk at lunch every day.
joe rogan
What happened to the kid who punched him?
luis j gomez
Couldn't even tell the story.
joe rogan
What happened to the kid who punched him?
luis j gomez
He was a kid, so it wasn't like juvie or anything like that.
It was just like he got in trouble.
joe rogan
Well, that's it?
luis j gomez
Yeah.
dave smith
He got arrested?
luis j gomez
No.
Oh, my God.
Didn't get arrested.
Didn't get arrested.
joe rogan
And they had to go to school together after that?
Did you remove the brass knuckle kid from the school?
luis j gomez
It didn't happen at school.
It happened at a school.
I don't think the kid who did it...
I know the kid who did it.
I don't think he went to the same school.
dave smith
Hey, man.
Sorry for hitting you with brass knuckles.
Should I have a math homework?
joe rogan
Dude.
luis j gomez
It was cool.
That's terrifying.
That's where it's like you just don't want to fuck with people.
joe rogan
Well, kids who get beat up at home, too.
Kids who get beat up by their parents, they're ready to beat people up.
Of course.
It becomes a part of your everyday life.
You're mad at people, you hit them.
You're mad at people that are smaller than you, and you get away with it, you hit them.
luis j gomez
I don't think people talk about that enough.
They talk about all the violence in the world, and nobody's talking about the fact that since kids are toddlers, they're being hit by the people that are supposed to protect them most.
And it fucks them up psychologically, and it does something to them.
joe rogan
It's awful.
And it's a cycle, right?
You hit your kids because your dad hit you, and that's what made you the man that you are today.
That kind of horseshit.
dave smith
But it's so weird that it's the only relationship where if you bring up this topic, people will justify hitting.
It's the only, like, no one will publicly justify hitting their chick or hitting their grandfather.
luis j gomez
Because they take it personally like you're attacking their parents.
They take it like they go, like, my mom's not a bad, my mom's a good mom.
You know, I deserved it.
They'll tell you that.
I deserved it.
dave smith
Isn't it so weird that if anyone, if you said publicly, like, you know, that you give your girlfriend a slap if she acts the wrong way, everyone would universally be like, that is just pure evil.
But if you say the same thing to my two-year-old, my three-year-old, everyone's just kind of like, and then even more than that, people are like, oh, they don't do it enough.
joe rogan
But if you say, if my man talks too much shit, I smack him in his face, girls would be like, you go, girl.
dave smith
Yes, that's true.
luis j gomez
But I also don't care.
joe rogan
That's that motherfucker, no.
dave smith
But that's because the power dynamic is the opposite way.
How about dating Cyborg?
That's a serious problem if you're dating Cyborg.
unidentified
Yeah, seriously.
dave smith
She's hitting me.
luis j gomez
Whatever, her hands are the fucking real issue.
dave smith
She's gone, huh?
joe rogan
Out of the UFC? Yeah, man.
They fucked up.
dave smith
That sucks.
joe rogan
They made a video where it made it look like Dana White was saying that he...
They just docked...
They added words that he didn't say.
dave smith
That was stupid.
joe rogan
So dumb.
luis j gomez
Do you think it was malicious or do you think it was a legitimate mistake in terms of translating it?
joe rogan
There's no way it could be anything other than stupid.
big jay oakerson
Yeah, it was done on purpose.
joe rogan
It was done on purpose.
So it was just a stupid idea.
That's all it is.
dave smith
And it's really bad timing.
joe rogan
Malicious, whatever it is.
Whoever did it, that's just a terrible error.
dave smith
And it's really bad timing because she was almost uncuttable last year.
But now Amanda Nunes came and kind of took that juice.
And now it's like...
joe rogan
She's damaged goods if she decides to leave the UFC without a Nunes rematch.
If she beats Nunes, she gets it all back.
You know, but...
luis j gomez
She's still a star.
joe rogan
Yeah, she'd go to 1FC. She'd go to Bellator.
She'd go to a lot of places and she'd still be welcome with open arms.
luis j gomez
She's a walk down the street and gets a huge pop star.
She shows up at those weigh-in shows and the crowd flocks to her.
I remember just thinking that about her.
I saw her one time and there was...
I forget what event it was.
big jay oakerson
She came to the garden show and just sat in the front row of the UFC at the garden and the place was like, they were so excited for her just turning around and waving at people.
joe rogan
She was the first female Terminator.
Yeah.
luis j gomez
Gina Carano, that was the best.
unidentified
Horrific.
luis j gomez
Watching her beat up Gina Carano gives me nightmares to this day.
joe rogan
It's a crazy fight, and the end of it, when there's a photo that we played on this podcast before of her cyborg's hand palming Gina's head with black fingernails, and she's punching her in the face at the same time.
So she's holding her head, slamming her fist in the face, like, I want out.
luis j gomez
Gina was queen when it was like three-minute rounds.
joe rogan
Well, they all fought three-minute rounds back then for women, yeah.
unidentified
Half tops, panties.
joe rogan
You know, she was taking some stuff, you know, for sure.
luis j gomez
Oh, sure.
joe rogan
Yeah, for sure.
That's part of the issue, and she tested positive for some stuff.
You know, that's part of what it is.
That's part of what it is.
big jay oakerson
The build-up to the Gina Carano fight was when she choked out the news guy, right?
That was kind of viral.
It was her news guy to put her in a real naked choke, and she choked him unconscious.
And he comes back to it.
It's very uncomfortable and weird.
She didn't want to do it.
And then he was like, you can do it.
It's fine.
And then he just looks like...
It was one of those band knockouts where you get up and make noises.
joe rogan
I think dudes don't believe that they're really going to go out like that.
They don't believe they're going to go out so quick.
big jay oakerson
Yeah.
luis j gomez
I learned in the sixth grade, we used to do the thing where we would hyperventilate.
big jay oakerson
Knockout game?
unidentified
Yeah, yeah.
luis j gomez
So, you bend over, and then you just breathe really heavy for like a minute, as hard as you can.
And then when you come up really fast, you're already lightheaded, then your friend puts his hands, his palms on your carotid arteries, and just presses.
Kind of light.
And then within three seconds, you just slide down the wall.
joe rogan
Whoa.
luis j gomez
It was my first time I ever got high.
joe rogan
Yeah, but your friends will let you fall and hit your fucking head.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Dude, I didn't know!
luis j gomez
Yeah.
joe rogan
You fall and bounce your fucking head off a curb.
big jay oakerson
You gotta catch him.
I gotta knock him out, man.
I gotta catch him.
joe rogan
I don't think that's necessarily that bad for you, but it's definitely not good for you.
Especially when you're 11. Yeah, you're developing your brain.
dave smith
Yeah, you probably shouldn't do it.
joe rogan
Yeah, don't be choking out.
But it happens all the time in the gym and no one stops.
They get choked unconscious, they wake up and they go back to rolling again.
And the way they talk about it like it's a garden hose.
The garden hose shuts off the power to the brain and everything's fine.
But I'm like, man, you ain't a doctor.
You're just a guy who knows how to choke people.
Show me some long-term studies on dudes who've been choked unconscious multiple times.
big jay oakerson
Show me a doctor making garden hose analogies.
joe rogan
Call me a bitch.
I'll tap quick.
I'm not going unconscious, man.
Stop.
That's silly.
That going unconscious thing.
Who knows what that's doing?
You're going to the Netherlands.
You might come back a totally different person in a totally different life.
big jay oakerson
When you open your eyes like, has it been a hundred years?
joe rogan
You come back with a false memory of the past.
big jay oakerson
I've lived a hundred lives since then.
Since I was knocked out.
joe rogan
That happens to guys.
Because when they get hit and knocked out, when they come to, they do not know what happened.
And they have to be reminded over and over and over again.
I mean, it must feel like you woke up in a new dimension.
Like, it must feel surreal.
luis j gomez
Well, Bisping told me that story after the Dan Henderson fight.
He literally had no idea what happened.
It was like he had no idea where he was.
He thought his fight was a few weeks out still.
It was some scary shit.
dave smith
They said Ben Askren was saying he has no memory of anything in the arena after that.
Of course.
joe rogan
That was one of the worst knockouts I've ever seen.
big jay oakerson
That's what I was saying too with that slow-ass walk.
He had to walk out of the arena so slow.
joe rogan
It was one of the worst knockouts of all time.
The amount of power that your flying knee has when you're ducking into it is accentuated because he's going in for the takedown and he's got a strong takedown, right?
So he's going in with everything he has face first and running at him.
Oh my god, that's the biggest impact I think the sport's ever seen.
luis j gomez
As we're talking about football players crashing into each other, that's the moment of impact.
The dangerous thing about two football players crashing their bodies into each other is exactly that.
And they, super athletes, creating that momentum, I mean, it's nuts.
dave smith
How crazy is it to be undefeated, never to lose to anybody, and then that's your one, like, you're One Blemish is like the biggest knockout.
luis j gomez
Ben talks so much shit that it sucks.
Because I like Ben.
I'm a big fan.
He's really funny.
joe rogan
I like Ben too.
luis j gomez
He talks so much shit.
And when you talk shit like that and then you fucking lose, you just gotta eat those words.
joe rogan
You know, he's marketed himself amazingly.
And that's part of the marketing himself.
He has his own down-home version of talking shit.
luis j gomez
Yeah.
joe rogan
You know, like, even his boom-roasted thing.
Like, you could tell, it's like he's almost kind of playing a doofus character.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
But he's a very smart guy.
Like, I had him on the podcast, and he sends me book recommendations and shit.
He's like a really well-read, interesting guy.
He just, that's his character.
And part of his strategy is to annoy the fuck out of you.
But when you flatline him like that, after him annoying the fuck out of you...
What's that word?
Schadenfreude?
What's that word?
When people get their just desserts?
What is that called?
dave smith
I don't know.
Something like that.
joe rogan
It's the pleasure that you feel from someone else's Obvious demise, right?
dave smith
That sounds right.
joe rogan
Is that it?
jamie vernon
Pleasure derived from another person's misfortune.
joe rogan
There you go.
That's what it is.
dave smith
But that technique, it's almost like in a weird way, that's what he was trying to get Masvidal to do, like go crazy, so the takedowns are there.
But if it doesn't work out, it goes very bad.
joe rogan
Well, Masvidal just took that chance with that flying knee entry, and he practiced it over and over and over again, and he kind of knew with the way he circled.
See, the way he circled, he circled off to the side, and then came at him that way.
So he knew he would go at him with leaning into him that way, and so it perfectly tied, because he was coming at him from the side.
He knew he was going to lean in that way.
dave smith
But he also, Masvidal said he was like, I was real confident if you took me down, I was going to get back up.
And that does kind of demonstrate that.
Like, if you're real concerned about the takedown, you're probably not going to open with sprinting into a flying knee.
luis j gomez
Which is funny, because Masvidal is not even a dude who is known for being this unbelievable wrestler.
The first time I saw Masvidal was an old-school Kimbo Slice Miami backyard fighting video.
joe rogan
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, he did those.
luis j gomez
Dude, he came out and he fought this guy.
I think his name was Big Ray.
It was a guy who was like 230 pounds.
And it was George.
And it was like 180 pounds.
And he came out and he just boxed this dude up.
And it was so bad.
All the kids were following.
It was like chickens running around a backyard.
It was so hardcore.
And then he ends up being, I think, Strikeforce a few years later is when I saw him in MMA. And he's had a pretty crazy trajectory to be where he's at right now.
He is right on the cusp of being...
If he didn't win the title, he'd be one of the biggest stars in the sport.
joe rogan
He's one of the best motherfuckers in the sport, for sure.
There's no doubt about it.
With everything, he's super well-rounded.
He can do everything.
His takedown defense is amazing.
He's got some of the best hands in the division period.
I mean, you look at him knocking out Darren Till with that leap in, left hook, the way he did it, the way he set it up.
He landed it earlier, and then he landed again.
He figured it out.
He figured out a spot where this guy's open.
There's like this dip in what he does, and he found that opening.
luis j gomez
He's gotten better, right?
joe rogan
He's more dedicated.
And now he wants a big payday.
So they're probably talking about doing that Nate Diaz fight.
dave smith
He'll get a big payday out of that one.
That's a big fight.
joe rogan
That fight will be huge.
luis j gomez
Isn't it fucked up that Usman is the one that, almost out of all of the guys we're talking about, I'm least intrigued to watch fight next?
joe rogan
Oh man, I'm not.
I fucking love watching that guy fight because he's got this marauding, relentless style that's very similar to Colby's, except he hits harder.
And he'll try to take people out.
Colby just keeps that heat on you.
dave smith
Yeah, but Colby's striking technique might be a little bit better.
It doesn't hit quite as hard, but the stuff he was showing against Robbie Lawler, those jabs and body kicks and stuff, I mean, that was pretty impressive.
joe rogan
You know, he's friends with my buddy Cam Haynes, and they train together.
And Cam's description of him, he said, listen, the guy talks all this crazy shit, right?
He's doing it, but he never stops training.
He's just constantly training.
That's why he's got that insane cardio.
He knows that's his biggest weapon.
His biggest weapon is, he's like, ready, keep up!
unidentified
Whee!
joe rogan
And you've got to try to keep up.
And he's fucking going and going and going and going.
And everybody wills.
That's why I'm so interested to see Usman fight, because he's going to fight him.
And Usman does the same thing to people.
That's what he did.
I think Tyron, I think there was issues with Tyron going into that fight.
He looked like a shell of himself.
He wasn't firing back.
Some of that you've got to give credit to Usman.
That fucking pressure, that relentless pressure is striking.
He knows how to fight long.
He's got an incredible fucking ground and pound game.
He's got real knockout power.
dave smith
Yeah, and Colby did a similar thing to Robbie Lawler where it kind of looked like, why isn't he firing back?
Because his back's on the cage.
He's getting taken down.
He's getting jabbed constantly and never has a moment to just reset and take a deep breath because he's just on you the whole fight.
joe rogan
Guys didn't used to fight that way.
And I talked to Colby about this.
We were talking about the principle of, like, how hard do you, when you punch him, how hard do you punch him?
He's like 70%.
So you just hit him with a steady stream of 70%.
You never see him bite down, fucking, argh!
You never see that.
Those, what DC always likes to call big actions, those big actions, those cost a lot of energy.
And you've got to figure out when to do those.
Maybe you're Francis Ngannou and those big actions lead to Alistair Overeem getting knocked into the Netherlands.
But if not, then you're going to blow out your gas like we saw him with Stipe Miocic.
dave smith
Lifting him over his head in the first round.
And how cool does that look that you're holding this huge guy over your head and dropping him.
But then after that, you kind of just get a takedown.
He gets back up to his feet.
And then by the fourth round, you're kind of wondering, is that really good strategy to be lifting these guys over your head?
joe rogan
I was talking about Stipe when Stipe fought Francis Ngannou.
dave smith
Oh, that one.
joe rogan
Yeah, sorry.
Manage to avoid the big actions of Ngannou and then wear him out and then take him down and beat him up and retain the title.
The only guy that's been able to survive Ngannou.
The DC fight is a hard one to watch, man, because he's the best guy in the world.
He's so nice.
I love that guy to death.
So watching him get his body destroyed, because he kept digging those left hooks to the body, I was like, woo!
Part of me was like, damn, that's a pretty punch.
big jay oakerson
How loud were those?
joe rogan
Fucking loud.
But it was the crispness of it.
He was standing in front of him, popping him, and then sliding, BAP! And he would just stick that fucking left hook into the liver, and he kept hitting it.
Part of me was like, man, that is a beautiful left hook.
Nasty body shots, but part of me was like, damn, DC, you've got to get away from that.
You've got to get out of there.
You've got to take this guy down.
It's hard.
When you really love a guy and you're watching him fight, it's hard.
It's very, very difficult to do commentary.
You just...
big jay oakerson
What's the pain on the liver punches?
Dude, it fucking hurts.
What's the damage that can do that makes you like...
I've seen people crumble on it before.
joe rogan
You want me to hit you with one?
big jay oakerson
No, no.
luis j gomez
Please hit you with a liver punch.
big jay oakerson
But show me on Lewis.
joe rogan
You don't want it.
It's a horrible feeling where it like shocks your body.
luis j gomez
Let me say, Joe.
joe rogan
Your body goes like...
luis j gomez
How about this?
Show Dave where to hit me.
joe rogan
It's right here.
big jay oakerson
It's like almost getting shocked, like electrical.
joe rogan
It's in the lower...
If someone is standing in front of you and they hit you with a left hook, most likely they'd be hitting you in the liver.
And it's like right where these floating ribs are, tucked in there.
And when you slam someone hard, like right around the low...
You know who's one of the masters of it?
It's Canelo Alvarez.
Show Canelo Alvarez body shots.
Maybe there's a video we could look.
He's got a beautiful one where he steps in and just fucking rips that left hook to the liver.
And your body just goes...
unidentified
It just fucking shuts down.
joe rogan
It's the weirdest feeling, man.
It's like your legs stop working.
Everything stops working.
Your whole body just...
big jay oakerson
It looks like it didn't happen to him until that last one.
joe rogan
I think he was playing poker face.
I think he was playing poker face.
Canelo is a fucking master at this shit.
He would just dig this thing.
Look at this.
That one's only going to the side.
big jay oakerson
That's the kidneys, though.
joe rogan
Yeah, that's going to the side, but most of the time he's going to the liver.
Well, he's going to anything that's open, right?
But that's the liver.
He's going for the liver against Golovkin, but Golovkin's got that low guard with his right arm.
He's blocking it from happening.
The guy who's coming up next...
luis j gomez
It's so much fun.
Like, it's a fun sport to do.
joe rogan
Well, when these kind of guys are fighting, when Triple G and Canelo are fighting, like, fuck.
It's like, if you're a fan of the sport, you've seen the highest level, two champions in their prime going after it.
It's amazing to watch.
But that punch is a...
Like, getting hit there is a terrible feeling.
And DC got hit there multiple times.
dave smith
And he was, from like the second round on, he was...
You were talking about it when he was there, but he was just putting his hands down and kind of letting Stipe hit It's hard to watch.
That's a dangerous way to fight Stipe Miocic.
joe rogan
I think he just wanted to put pressure on him and make Stipe feel like he didn't deserve to be in there with him.
I think maybe in that approach he was trying to wear him out, which would keep the pressure on him and make him discouraged, or maybe he had genuine disdain for his abilities.
Maybe he really didn't think Stipe could hurt him, and he was just eventually going to catch him.
And then there was a lot of people that thought because of the way he knocked Stipe out, maybe Stipe isn't as durable as he used to be, right?
Because Stipe used to take tremendous shots from everybody, but then he got knocked out in one punch by DC after taking tremendous shots in the Ngannou fight.
So the question would be how much damage did he take in that Ngannou fight?
But then he came back and he ate everything that DC had to offer him.
He just kept eating it, taking it on the chin and eating it, and eventually he started taking over the fight.
And when he started ripping the body in the fourth round, it was like, whoa!
It was perfect.
I mean, I've never seen anybody have better body punches in a championship fight.
big jay oakerson
You think that was a corner call?
Or you think he just improvised and saw that it was opening?
joe rogan
He knows how to fight.
He saw an opening.
Everybody knows.
I mean, that's such a standard technique.
That's like a corner call if someone's throwing a leg kick.
big jay oakerson
It's so standard.
It was working so good.
Yeah, it never got blocked once.
joe rogan
DC didn't have an answer.
He didn't have an answer to it.
He didn't duck it.
He didn't block it.
He didn't try to take him down.
He just kind of got stuck.
The problem with those liver shots, too, is they sap your energy so bad, and you can't make a big move anymore.
So you have to kind of pretend like everything's okay, and then, bam, he hits you again.
You're like, oh, shit.
We're in trouble here.
But still, you're looking like nothing's wrong.
But your gas tank is fucked.
Everything's on empty, and you're fucked.
You really can't fire back.
That's why DC didn't fire back, and he kept getting shot to that body.
Bang!
And every time, bang, he gets shot to that body.
You see it in his...
And then Stipe got him against the cage, started uncorking punches, and DC just didn't have anything...
His body was shutting down.
Didn't have anything in him to stop that onslaught.
I mean, it's amazing.
That guy's the...
Stipe's the most successful heavyweight in the history of the sport.
dave smith
And Daniel Cormier, whether he fights again or not, he's one of the greatest ever.
Legend.
But he also is, what is he, 42?
joe rogan
He's 40. 40. Yeah, I believe.
Is that true?
big jay oakerson
He's 40, yeah, yeah.
dave smith
DC, that might be part of it, too.
joe rogan
Yoel's 42. Could be.
42, yeah.
luis j gomez
Yoel's 42. When you look at, like, you know, DC... What he's done, it's incredible.
Nobody else has ever done that.
It's probably hard to convince him of that.
joe rogan
The big fight is the Stipe fight, honestly.
Because beating guys for the vacated crown in light heavyweight is not the same as beating Jon Jones.
But beating Stipe is like beating the heavyweight version of Jon Jones.
That's the biggest accomplishment ever.
And I liked him at heavyweight because he wasn't getting drained.
But I just don't think that was...
I don't know, maybe he couldn't have fought him any other way, but I don't think that was the best strategy, the dropping of the hands and the moving toward him with disdain.
But maybe that would have worked on some guys, and maybe that has worked on other guys, like Rumble Johnson.
It worked on him.
He eventually puts that heat on you, and so many guys crack under that heat.
luis j gomez
As a friend, do you want to see him fight a third fight?
joe rogan
That is entirely dependent upon where his head's at.
I mean, first of all, I'm sure he's a very intelligent guy with a lot of years of competition under his belt, whether it's Olympics, Wrestling at the highest level, whether it's UFC, Strikeforce before that, he's fought for a long time.
Nobody needs to tell him when to make decisions and when not.
He's emotional right now.
I'm sure he's going to take some time off, and he'll probably consult with his family and probably figure out what he wants to do, but I bet...
If I had to guess, his competitive instincts are going to tell him that he could have at least one more fight and that it would be a rematch with Stipe because he was dominating the first round and he let it get away from him and he wasn't listening to his corner.
Crazy Bob Cook was yelling in his corner, keep your damn hands up.
You know, he didn't like it.
Bob Cook didn't like it.
He respected.
Stipe's a giant man.
He's a fucking big motherfucker.
Big, long, tall Croatian.
And he's tough as shit, man.
And I think because Daniel knocked him out in the first round, in the first fight, you know, he believed he could knock him out again.
But Stipe could take a goddamn shot this time.
You know what I mean?
luis j gomez
Yeah.
joe rogan
You never know why a guy gets knocked out that way with one punch.
It was a perfect punch, for sure.
The way he threw it was beautiful.
The way he threw it from inside the clinch, comes over the top of the shoulder, blam, and lands that perfect punch that KO'd Stipe.
It was amazing.
luis j gomez
It was also such a competitive fight that I'm super intrigued to see a third fight.
It's not a foregone conclusion that Stipe is going to be able to do that again.
Daniel can adjust, he can come out with a better game plan, and he can win that fight.
And it's, in my opinion, the best fight at heavyweight, competitively.
I don't think Angano would be a good fight, but I think that Stipe wins that again.
dave smith
I'm not convinced.
I mean, I think Ngannou might be the next guy.
joe rogan
We'll see.
dave smith
I mean, I think he might be the champ for a while.
joe rogan
Well, he's definitely got what it takes.
Because he's got one thing.
That 100% one-punch knockout power.
100%.
Not a fucking human's gonna be there if he full-on connects and smashes one through your guard.
Everyone goes night-night.
unidentified
Everyone.
joe rogan
Yeah.
100% of the humans that have ever walked here go night-night if that guy punches you full blast.
But it's whether or not he's going to be able to do that to Stipe.
We all thought he had a chance of doing it the first time, but Stipe shut it down.
Maybe he's better now, but maybe Stipe is going to come into this fight even more energized after beating DC and winning his title back.
Maybe he saw something from that fight that if he had to do it again, he would have implemented really quickly.
luis j gomez
Stipe, he did not want to take another fight.
Whatever place he was in, he was fucking in his firehouse, lacing up his boots every day, just thinking about getting that title back.
He does not want to lose that title again.
joe rogan
People were ignoring him, man.
It was weird.
Everybody was so concentrated on the Brock Lesnar idea.
That they were ignoring him.
luis j gomez
It's weird because when somebody said that the other day, whatever publication was talking about CBA being the greatest heavyweight of all time, this is before the fight.
I remember going like, is he?
And then you start listing off his credentials and you realize that he has the most defenses.
He's also fought the most competitive defense.
Title defenses as well.
Then it becomes a little more apparent.
I almost understand it, and I'm a pretty big fan of the sport, but I remember I wasn't chomping at the bit for the rematch for him.
It wasn't like I was like, I really want to see that Stipe Daniel Cormier rematch, and I can't even put my finger on why.
joe rogan
Oh, I did.
I wanted to see it bad.
I wanted to see it real bad.
I wanted to see, and I like the fact that it was 13 months later, so I think it gave his body some time to heal up.
I think when you fight in Ghana, it's like getting hit by a train.
I mean, you might live.
You might go flying into a fucking tree, and you come down a day later.
What happened?
big jay oakerson
It's just like when DJ Jazzy Jeff will get thrown out of the clubs.
joe rogan
Yeah, but I think if he keeps it together, he's the next guy.
I mean, he's the next guy in line to be the champion.
I mean, he has everything to lose.
He has the championship to lose.
If Stipe retires, when Stipe's done, Francis is the fucking man.
And maybe Francis beats him in a rematch.
Who knows?
Again, all he has to do is connect.
He would be a different guy in the rematch.
He would understand what it's like to go five hard rounds with the guy who could take you down and beat you up.
He would understand that his wrestling has to be on point, his cardio has to be on point, and there's not going to be times where he can 100% unload and know for sure the guy's not going to be there because the guy survived and he didn't have the gas tank for the remaining four rounds.
And so this is going to be a new guy that Stipe fights, and he might very well just play it smooth and just stay on the outside and pick his shots, and then when he gets them hurt, then uncork.
I mean, we don't know.
But we don't know.
Stipe might take him down quicker this time.
unidentified
Yeah, maybe.
joe rogan
Stipe might say, fuck all this stand-up, dude.
Let's just wrestle.
He'd just come at him, pump a few jabs, shoot a fucking double on him and take him down.
Dude, he took down D.C. Stipe took down D.C. That's giant.
The only other guy who's ever done that is Jon Jones.
And Stipe did it more emphatically.
I mean, it was pretty goddamn impressive.
luis j gomez
Well, that's the other one at heavyweight I want to see.
Before Jon Jones retires, I want to see him fight at heavyweight.
joe rogan
Yes, that's what I was pushing for.
luis j gomez
I want to see Jon Jones at 235 pounds.
joe rogan
Fuck yeah.
luis j gomez
Steroids to the gills.
Picograms falling out of his asshole.
Just fucking, just a monster, dude.
I would love to see if he could handle Stipe.
Or if Cormier wanted that fight.
If Daniel Cormier and Jon Jones wanted to fight again, I'd want to see that fight at heavyweight.
joe rogan
Well, I guarantee you if Jon Jones fights at heavyweight, he'll probably be at just what he walks around at.
Because the word around Jackson's was that he would wrestle with heavyweights and just ragdoll them.
That he would throw people around the gym.
I mean, when I talked to Tate Fletcher when he was down there and other guys who trained with Jon when Jon was down at Jackson's as a light heavyweight champion, was just ragdolling heavyweights.
He's a phenomenally powerful guy.
And you really saw that in the Cormier fight.
I think Cormier was...
I was shocked in that first fight of how fucking strong John is.
I mean, he's a long, thin guy, but he is ridiculously strong.
And I think as a heavyweight, he'd be a fuckload to handle for a lot of guys.
luis j gomez
Yeah, I want to say, and I think he actually, he has the star power to...
I think that puts the UFC on the map in a weird way.
Because they haven't really had the major star as a heavyweight champion.
Like that fucking dude who is like...
Best in the world, pound for pound best.
joe rogan
As a heavyweight champion.
luis j gomez
As a heavyweight champion.
joe rogan
But if John could beat Stipe, that would be that.
He's definitely the best pound for pound fighter in the UFC right now.
Definitely.
You look at his accomplishments, it's arguably he's the best pound for pound fighter ever because he's really never lost.
The one Matt Hamill fight, they're trying to reverse that because it was a bad decision.
It was a bad decision to disqualify him.
It was a bad decision to disqualify him.
luis j gomez
They destroyed him.
joe rogan
Yeah, make it a no contest.
So he's still undefeated.
That's what it really should have been.
luis j gomez
My only problem with it is...
joe rogan
It really should be a victory.
He crushed him.
luis j gomez
Oh yeah, it was ridiculous.
Matt Hamill doesn't feel like it's a win.
joe rogan
So that's the thing.
The guy's never really lost.
So if you look at his career, who the fuck can say that?
Who the fuck has fought Lyoto Machida, Rashad Evans, Rampage Jackson, the top of the food chain, over and over and over again.
dave smith
Through generations.
joe rogan
Through generations.
dave smith
Like three or four different generations of the best guys.
joe rogan
Gustafson, everybody.
luis j gomez
You can look at that.
There's actually a number.
That one loss on his record, if you could really break it down, there was some sort of statistician that could come in and really look at it.
There's a number, an amount of money that he's lost because he has that loss on his record.
Whatever it is, marketability.
joe rogan
Maybe.
luis j gomez
Who knows?
Definitely, there has to be something.
big jay oakerson
I have to go.
joe rogan
You do have to go.
big jay oakerson
It's 2 o'clock.
joe rogan
You've got to wrap this bitch up.
Gentlemen, thank you as always.
You cucked out again.
I was going to come in blackface.
luis j gomez
They wouldn't let me.
big jay oakerson
We stopped it outside.
joe rogan
I appreciate you guys.
I appreciate Skankfest.
I think it's awesome what you guys are doing for comedy.
I really do.
You're just going for it.
And that's what we need more of.
We need more of people that are doing real comedy.
And you guys do it.
I appreciate the fuck out of it.
And I support you at every turn.
dave smith
Thanks, brother.
big jay oakerson
Thank you, Joe.
luis j gomez
You're the man.
We really appreciate it.
Love you, buddy.
dave smith
Bye, fuckers.
unidentified
That was fun.
