1. 0:00 – 15:00

   Four, three, two, one.…

   1. JRJoe Rogan0:02

      Four, three, two, one. (clapperboard snaps) Mr. Page-

   2. DPDiamond Dallas Page0:09

      (laughs)

   3. JRJoe Rogan0:09

      ... how are you?

   4. DPDiamond Dallas Page0:11

      I never had a bad day in my life.

   5. JRJoe Rogan0:13

      Ever?

   6. DPDiamond Dallas Page0:13

      Oh, I've had plenty of bad moments. (laughs)

   7. JRJoe Rogan0:15

      Bad moments, but you recovered.

   8. DPDiamond Dallas Page0:17

      Yeah. You know, um, to me, it's all your state of mind, period. And I don't stay there. If I go down, I get back up.

   9. JRJoe Rogan0:25

      If you're gonna chew that-

   10. DPDiamond Dallas Page0:26

       Don't do it.

   11. JRJoe Rogan0:26

       ... people are gonna go fucking crazy.

   12. DPDiamond Dallas Page0:28

       (laughs)

   13. JRJoe Rogan0:29

       (laughs) I put one of those in my mouth the other day-

   14. DPDiamond Dallas Page0:31

       (laughs)

   15. JRJoe Rogan0:31

       ... and I got like 150 comments 'cause I had a sore throat.

   16. DPDiamond Dallas Page0:35

       Oh.

   17. JRJoe Rogan0:35

       Sorry. (laughs)

   18. DPDiamond Dallas Page0:35

       Well, I got, I got the throat coat, so. (laughs)

   19. JRJoe Rogan0:38

       Throat coat. Yeah. Um, listen, man, first of all, I love what you're doing.

   20. DPDiamond Dallas Page0:42

       Thank you.

   21. JRJoe Rogan0:42

       I really do. I think it's fantastic, and I'm a, a big fan of yoga. And what you've done for not just... What you've done is made yoga available to people that thought that yoga was for chicks.

   22. DPDiamond Dallas Page0:55

       Right. And, and, and I, I've, I, you know, now, it's really funny you say that because how it started, it was yoga for regular, it was regular people, you know, regular guys.

   23. JRJoe Rogan1:04

       Yeah, w-

   24. DPDiamond Dallas Page1:04

       I made it for guys.

   25. JRJoe Rogan1:05

       People think of yoga as being something that, like, you have to be into, you know, you gotta be all namaste-

   26. DPDiamond Dallas Page1:11

       Right.

   27. JRJoe Rogan1:11

       ... and sp- And you hear Dallas Diamond Page. What the fuck? Huh? How-

   28. DPDiamond Dallas Page1:14

       (laughs) Or Diamond Dallas Page.

   29. JRJoe Rogan1:15

       Either one.

   30. DPDiamond Dallas Page1:16

       (laughs)
2. 15:00 – 30:00

   (laughs) …

   1. DPDiamond Dallas Page15:00

      It was-

   2. JRJoe Rogan15:01

      (laughs)

   3. DPDiamond Dallas Page15:01

      Hogan took... Hogan gave me such a hug afterwards, like, "This is what this business is supposed to be. That someone like you, who no one would believe would ever be anyone, could work so hard that they would become the world champ." When I got my Hall of Fame ring, uh, in 2017, inside it had inscribed in here, "Work ethic equals dreams!" DDP. And that's what it is.

   4. JRJoe Rogan15:27

      (laughs)

   5. DPDiamond Dallas Page15:27

      You know, I don't tell you anything. You understand putting the work in.

   6. JRJoe Rogan15:30

      Yeah. Putting the work in is everything. Now, you're back today. Did you ever get an MRI on it?

   7. DPDiamond Dallas Page15:35

      Oh yeah, I did all that.

   8. JRJoe Rogan15:36

      Well, but now?

   9. DPDiamond Dallas Page15:37

      Now, you know, I don't have any... I don't... I c- if I don't do it, if I'm on too many planes, trains, and automobiles-

   10. JRJoe Rogan15:43

       Right.

   11. DPDiamond Dallas Page15:44

       ... you know, then I'm gonna get release, but I know what to do. Like, I'd say to my wife, and I swear to God, 'cause every morning I do, I roll out of bed some nights and you feel like you got hit by a truck.

   12. JRJoe Rogan15:53

       Mm-hmm.

   13. DPDiamond Dallas Page15:53

       You know what I mean? Sleeping is the worst thing for me because I get in those positions that, I don't know man.

   14. JRJoe Rogan15:58

       Right.

   15. DPDiamond Dallas Page15:58

       And when I wake up, I'm like, "Oh, god."

   16. JRJoe Rogan16:00

       Yeah, you're knotted up.

   17. DPDiamond Dallas Page16:01

       But as soon as I do, within eight minutes, I feel like a completely different person 'cause I know what to do.

   18. JRJoe Rogan16:07

       But your, so your disk, though, was completely gone?

   19. DPDiamond Dallas Page16:09

       No, they're gone. It was literally bone on bone.

   20. JRJoe Rogan16:12

       And is it still like that?

   21. DPDiamond Dallas Page16:13

       Yeah, but I've, I, this is something I'm trying to tell you, Joe, which makes what I'm doing different than regular yoga. Not just the... I always say most yogis are very namaste. DDPY way more T&A.

   22. JRJoe Rogan16:25

       (laughs)

   23. DPDiamond Dallas Page16:25

       And I meant T&A in the beginning.

   24. JRJoe Rogan16:27

       (laughs)

   25. DPDiamond Dallas Page16:27

       But what I mean today is tone and attitude, because it is an attitude, it's a tone-

   26. JRJoe Rogan16:31

       Mm-hmm. You switched it up. You kept the same letters.

   27. DPDiamond Dallas Page16:33

       Heck yes!

   28. JRJoe Rogan16:33

       I like how you did that. (laughs)

   29. DPDiamond Dallas Page16:33

       It worked. It, it worked like that. But, uh, you know, it's just a, it, it... For me, it's... As you know this, repetition is the mother of learning.

   30. JRJoe Rogan16:43

       Right.
3. 30:00 – 45:00

   Right. …

   1. DPDiamond Dallas Page30:00

      way it's supposed to be. I mean, when you look at just the (laughs) the obesity, heart disease, cancer, diabetes, autism. Like, how is it through the roof? How are there 400-pound guys everywhere? 25 years ago, that didn't happen.

   2. JRJoe Rogan30:17

      Right.

   3. DPDiamond Dallas Page30:18

      You know? And then they changed everything. And as far as I'm concerned, there's three reasons why it could've happened and 'cause I don't know. I'm not a scientist, I'm a fucking wrestler. But I know when I get people to eat what God created and stuff that's not genetically modified, I have found that they get out of pain. And that's what I did with Jake and Scott. You know, Razor Ramon also moved into my house. And, and when you get a chance to watch ... Before you have Jake come on, definitely watch The Resurrection of Jake The Snake 'cause I can set you up with that too. Um, but, uh, Jake, I got him eating real food, and Scott Hall, AKA Razor Ramon, eating real food. And within two weeks, they're already gonna start getting out of pain. That's why I'm ... I eat the way I eat because I don't wanna feel like I'm 82. I wanna feel like I'm 42 at 62.

   4. JRJoe Rogan31:06

      Now, when you talk about your food plan, like, d- ... are you giving them specific portions and what to eat? Like, how, how do you set it up?

   5. DPDiamond Dallas Page31:12

      On the app, which right now, on my-

   6. JRJoe Rogan31:14

      Oh, you have an app?

   7. DPDiamond Dallas Page31:15

      Oh, dude, I've got ... I, I think I have the most extensive app on the planet. And-... it, like... Let's, let's, let's go to the workouts and I'll come back to the food.

   8. JRJoe Rogan31:23

      Android and iPhone?

   9. DPDiamond Dallas Page31:25

      Everything.

   10. JRJoe Rogan31:25

       All right.

   11. DPDiamond Dallas Page31:25

       Yes. And, and right now you can get it on for-

   12. JRJoe Rogan31:27

       What about Windows Phone?

   13. DPDiamond Dallas Page31:28

       I think it works on everything. (laughs)

   14. JRJoe Rogan31:30

       Nobody has one of those fucking things. (laughs)

   15. DPDiamond Dallas Page31:31

       Whatever it is, we've set it up for everything that you can use and for your iPad, your computer. And I didn't realize at the time that I set it up for the iPhone, the Droid, the iPad, the tablet, and the computer. Like, going back in time, I just would've done the phone because... And, and the computer because you can have your phone go right to the TV.

   16. JRJoe Rogan31:51

       Right.

   17. DPDiamond Dallas Page31:51

       You know, if you got out-

   18. JRJoe Rogan31:52

       To the... Yeah.

   19. DPDiamond Dallas Page31:52

       ... the TV, you go (swooshing sound) ...

   20. JRJoe Rogan31:53

       Right.

   21. DPDiamond Dallas Page31:53

       But I s- it cost me a lot more money to do it with all five units. The bottom line is, I created this thing, like, from Arthur's stuff. I call it DDPY Rebuilt. You can't get out of bed? You can't do the workout? Bullshit. I got three workouts in bed-

   22. JRJoe Rogan32:09

       Right.

   23. DPDiamond Dallas Page32:09

       ... that have nothing to do with fucking. It's just freaking working out for 10 minutes, 12 minutes will get you up and I call those Bed Flex. Then I put you in Chair Force, where you're sitting in a chair. I got eight workouts in a fucking chair, which gets you strong enough to hold the chair. So I call those Stand Strong, like Arthur was doing, help you get up, help you get down, help you balance, help to keep you from falling. Then you're ready for Beginner. And once you get the... all the modifications that I teach you with Stand Strong... I got a guy who's 84 years old, his name is Ted Evans. He's been working with me since he was 68. The motherfucker can do every workout I do.

   24. JRJoe Rogan32:47

       Wow.

   25. DPDiamond Dallas Page32:48

       Every workout. Now, is he modified at times? Yes. But he can do every fucking workout I do. And it goes all the way to extreme psycho shit. Like, I did a workout today where I took my foot and held out in front of me and held it for 30 seconds, then pulled it out, held it for 30 seconds. This is all core stuff. It's gotta be the stuff, um... God, what's the name of it? It skips my mind right now. The fighter, the f- uh, UFC fighter, uh, the f- the French kid who was amazing.

   26. JRJoe Rogan33:15

       George St-Pierre?

   27. DPDiamond Dallas Page33:16

       Yes. I mean, nobody could ever take him down. You know, they hook his leg in, boom, and (laughs) you're not taking him down. He gonna hop around because his core strength, he had to be doing some of this type of stuff.

   28. JRJoe Rogan33:26

       Does a lot of gymnastics.

   29. DPDiamond Dallas Page33:27

       Well, again, those guys are super freaks. And he-

   30. JRJoe Rogan33:29

       Yeah.
4. 45:00 – 1:00:00

   No, I get it.…

   1. JRJoe Rogan45:00

      up.

   2. DPDiamond Dallas Page45:00

      No, I get it.

   3. JRJoe Rogan45:01

      It's just, I can't. It's impossible.

   4. DPDiamond Dallas Page45:02

      I get it.

   5. JRJoe Rogan45:03

      But, you've been in the back of my head for a long time. And I think that yoga, like I said, is, is so important.

   6. DPDiamond Dallas Page45:08

      Five ways.

   7. JRJoe Rogan45:08

      And I think what you're- you've done is make it accessible to people that wouldn't have considered it before.

   8. DPDiamond Dallas Page45:13

      All right, but you gotta do me a favor.

   9. JRJoe Rogan45:14

      Okay. What do I gotta do?

   10. DPDiamond Dallas Page45:15

       When you're talking about what the fuck I do, DDPY.

   11. JRJoe Rogan45:20

       DDPY.

   12. DPDiamond Dallas Page45:21

       And it-

   13. JRJoe Rogan45:21

       Say that and not yoga?

   14. DPDiamond Dallas Page45:22

       Yes.

   15. JRJoe Rogan45:23

       Okay.

   16. DPDiamond Dallas Page45:23

       Because it's different, you know? Mainly 'cause people put it in a box.

   17. JRJoe Rogan45:26

       Right.

   18. DPDiamond Dallas Page45:26

       You know?

   19. JRJoe Rogan45:26

       I know what you're saying. Yeah.

   20. DPDiamond Dallas Page45:27

       And you get it.

   21. JRJoe Rogan45:28

       Right.

   22. DPDiamond Dallas Page45:28

       Like, will you, will you do a workout with me?

   23. JRJoe Rogan45:30

       Yes, I would love to.

   24. DPDiamond Dallas Page45:31

       All right.

   25. JRJoe Rogan45:31

       Well, Aubrey did it. M- my partner in Onnit.

   26. DPDiamond Dallas Page45:33

       Yes. Yes!

   27. JRJoe Rogan45:34

       And he ...

   28. DPDiamond Dallas Page45:34

       I love Aubrey! Yes!

   29. JRJoe Rogan45:35

       Fucking loved it. He loved it. He said, "Dude, it's badass." He said, "He's definitely doing something different." His, his take was, he's like, "He's got ... He's doing yoga," he goes, "but he's got a whole nother edge to it."

   30. DPDiamond Dallas Page45:45

       Yeah. And, and I keep, again, making it my own.
5. 1:00:00 – 1:09:11

   As a result, as…

   1. JRJoe Rogan1:00:00

      to do some sort of a surgery. How i- how does the yoga s-... Is it because all the muscles strengthen?

   2. DPDiamond Dallas Page1:00:06

      As a result, as a result-

   3. JRJoe Rogan1:00:06

      The DDPY.

   4. DPDiamond Dallas Page1:00:07

      There we go.

   5. JRJoe Rogan1:00:07

      Sorry.

   6. DPDiamond Dallas Page1:00:08

      (laughs)

   7. JRJoe Rogan1:00:08

      How does the DDPY s- do that to... Does it just, the strengthening all the core muscles around your spine stabilizes everything and keeps you from moving?

   8. DPDiamond Dallas Page1:00:18

      There it is. The, the only thing I can... Remember, Joe, I'm a fucking wrestler. I'm not a night-

   9. JRJoe Rogan1:00:21

      Right.

   10. DPDiamond Dallas Page1:00:21

       ... a nightclub owner, um, freaking-

   11. JRJoe Rogan1:00:24

       Right.

   12. DPDiamond Dallas Page1:00:24

       ... I've been working in the bar business my whole life, that's what I did before this. Um, but I, for some reason, I'm just gifted with figuring shit out. Like on my app, there's a guy named Jerry Cameron, disabled vet. In a wheelchair for two and a half years with no weight to lose, all right? He's 6'5", 240, looks great, but he's got the walker that he got f- after two and a half years of being in a chair. Got himself out. Now all this is on my app, on my, in my, uh, We Can Rebuild You. I'm doing my own little show, We Can Rebuild You. I trademarked that name. And you remember what that's from. $6 million Man.

   13. JRJoe Rogan1:01:00

       $6 Million Man.

   14. DPDiamond Dallas Page1:01:01

       We can rebuild you. So that's our thing, right?

   15. JRJoe Rogan1:01:04

       (chop sound) Cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, cha.

   16. DPDiamond Dallas Page1:01:05

       (laughs)

   17. JRJoe Rogan1:01:07

       You know that?

   18. DPDiamond Dallas Page1:01:07

       So Jerry, we have him and we... Over the seven-week period... Now, he's got a long way to go still, but you will be so amazed every show that comes up, how he gains just a little bit more.

   19. JRJoe Rogan1:01:19

       Just these little incremental steps.

   20. DPDiamond Dallas Page1:01:21

       Exactly. And by the confidence. And like we, we, we reached out to our community in Smyrna, Georgia, and we said, "We're looking for people that want our help, cost them nothing. If you'll be part of our group and we can track you, you can come, go, do our stuff." You know, and we gave, we gave them the app, we set them up. And out of the 12 or 13 it started, we still have like seven-And this is like eight weeks later, and to see their stories. Like we follow them. Every couple of weeks, we'll pop up and show where they're at and what they're doing. But Jerry, I got a special spot in my, just like you do, for military guys. You know? I, I've been to Iraq three times, Afghanistan once. You've done those tours, the 13 days you go-

   21. JRJoe Rogan1:02:01

       I haven't. I haven't gone over there.

   22. DPDiamond Dallas Page1:02:01

       Oh, you haven't done it yet?

   23. JRJoe Rogan1:02:02

       No.

   24. DPDiamond Dallas Page1:02:03

       Oh, but you should 'cause they would freak the fuck out over you. Um, they would love you. Uh, but I started in 2004 with that shit. And over that period-

   25. JRJoe Rogan1:02:12

       Were you with Ryan Williams when he was getting shot down?

   26. DPDiamond Dallas Page1:02:14

       Oh, no (laughs) , no, no, no, no.

   27. JRJoe Rogan1:02:16

       Really? So you never got shot down? (laughs)

   28. DPDiamond Dallas Page1:02:18

       No. I just, you know-

   29. JRJoe Rogan1:02:19

       You know that story?

   30. DPDiamond Dallas Page1:02:19

       ... I hate ... No, I did not. (laughs)
