   12. JRJoe Rogan0:14

       It is now No Remember November.

   13. TSTom Segura0:15

       Here we go.

   14. BKBert Kreischer0:16

       Better November. No Remember November. I like that.

   15. JRJoe Rogan0:19

       First of all, (clears throat) whose fucking stupid idea was it to do this goddamn fitness challenge, Tommy Buns?

   16. BKBert Kreischer0:25

       (laughs)

   17. TSTom Segura0:25

       That was awful.

   18. JRJoe Rogan0:26

       Last, last year, last year, we did a, a nice, calm 15 hot yogas.

   19. TSTom Segura0:30

       Yeah.

   20. JRJoe Rogan0:31

       It was not that big a deal.

   21. BKBert Kreischer0:31

       How is that so awful?

   22. JRJoe Rogan0:32

       Not even close.

   23. BKBert Kreischer0:34

       Not even close to this.

   24. TSTom Segura0:35

       Not even close.

   25. JRJoe Rogan0:35

       No, this was so much more difficult.

   26. TSTom Segura0:37

       And I didn't expect this-

   27. BKBert Kreischer0:39

       Oh.

   28. TSTom Segura0:39

       ... but I like it.

   29. BKBert Kreischer0:40

       Yeah.

   30. TSTom Segura0:40

       I liked ... I think it's fun to be competitive with your friends.
2. 15:00 – 30:00

   Mm-hmm. …

   1. JRJoe Rogan15:00

      It's two things. One, uh, he needs exercise, he's young, he lo- he loves to run with me. And two, it's a real good form of exercise.

   2. Mm-hmm.

   3. It's like it's... I know it's more beneficial than the elliptical machine.

   4. Yeah.

   5. I got my-

   6. It's gotta be.

   7. It made my ass bigger, made my legs bigger. Like they all got bigger. Like especially, like, I could feel why pants fit different.

   8. TSTom Segura15:21

      Really?

   9. JRJoe Rogan15:21

      Yeah.

   10. Really?

   11. 'Cause I'm... Yeah, because I've only been doing this for like two years.

   12. Pushing yourself up. Plus also-

   13. For four hours.

   14. ... you're out in nature, it's gotta be he- healthy for you too. Oh, yeah. For sure. Oh, yeah.

   15. But before that, I was doing just weight lifting stuff with my, for my legs. I would do like squats or I would do cleans and presses and overheads, you know, do like presses with the kettlebells overhead and stuff like... Which is all great, it's all really good stuff, but it's not sustained motion. There's something about the sustained motion of running hills that I think boosts your vitality, it gives you more energy.

   16. I agree.

   17. Because you're, you're, you have to work so... To run a hill is one of the more-

   18. Yeah.

   19. ... difficult things to do in exercise. It's just, if you gotta fucking-

   20. (laughs)

   21. You just get- You're basically doing like body weight squats with one leg over and over and over again.

   22. God, it sucks when you're going uphill at a 45-degree-

   23. Oh, it's hard man, it's hard.

   24. TSTom Segura16:05

       (laughs) Dude.

   25. JRJoe Rogan16:05

       But it's so beneficial.

   26. TSTom Segura16:07

       Yeah.

   27. JRJoe Rogan16:07

       When I went to hitting the bags, what I would do is on, uh, on days I would do that, I would run and then I would get on the elliptical machine or I'd run and I'd get on the bike or I'd run... The, the Echo Bike, which is like, uh, an Airdyne.

   28. TSTom Segura16:18

       Ugh, fuck.

   29. JRJoe Rogan16:18

       Beefed up Airdyne machine.

   30. TSTom Segura16:20

       Those things fuck you up.
3. 30:00 – 45:00

   Yeah, it wouldn't go…

   1. ASAri Shaffir30:00

      even if it's a quarter, we're still talking about a 0.5, would be point f- 0.5% percentile or whatever, 99.5th percentile.

   2. JRJoe Rogan30:08

      Yeah, it wouldn't go up much.

   3. ASAri Shaffir30:09

      Yeah.

   4. JRJoe Rogan30:09

      It wouldn't go up much even under a smaller variable. But I think that what those other people are at the top are probably fitness instructors. And that's what-

   5. BKBert Kreischer30:18

      Taylor was.

   6. JRJoe Rogan30:18

      That's what MySpace was-

   7. ASAri Shaffir30:19

      Yeah. (fingers snapping)

   8. JRJoe Rogan30:19

      MySpace. MyZone.

   9. ASAri Shaffir30:20

      That was MyZone, yeah.

   10. JRJoe Rogan30:21

       That's what MyZone's told me.

   11. BKBert Kreischer30:22

       Oh, that was my other cheap plan. Go to the gym with $15 and say, "Please wear this and I'll give you $15."

   12. JRJoe Rogan30:27

       (laughs)

   13. ASAri Shaffir30:29

       (laughs)

   14. BKBert Kreischer30:29

       I'm not joking. I was gonna hang out there.

   15. ASAri Shaffir30:31

       Is 15 the sweet spot?

   16. BKBert Kreischer30:32

       I just figured it wasn't too much. But I would have to do it a lot. Fuck this. I'll tell you. Let me... I'll like, I'll walk you through my plan the whole month.

   17. JRJoe Rogan30:38

       What was your plan?

   18. BKBert Kreischer30:39

       Do not get hurt. That was number one.

   19. JRJoe Rogan30:41

       That's a good plan.

   20. BKBert Kreischer30:41

       I was like, "Don't get hurt." Because if I get hurt, get shin splints-

   21. ASAri Shaffir30:44

       Oh, yeah.

   22. BKBert Kreischer30:44

       ... or get heel spurs, I'm fucked.

   23. ASAri Shaffir30:45

       Oh, when did I think you were out?

   24. BKBert Kreischer30:46

       Five days in.

   25. ASAri Shaffir30:46

       Oh, I was so excited at the prospect of you being out.

   26. BKBert Kreischer30:49

       Anytime someone's like, "I think I fucking had it."

   27. ASAri Shaffir30:50

       No, you, 'cause you hurt your ankle or something.

   28. BKBert Kreischer30:52

       Oh, when I hurt my ankle, legit, swear to God, swear to God.

   29. ASAri Shaffir30:54

       How excited were you?

   30. BKBert Kreischer30:55

       Excited, but, but cautious.
4. 45:00 – 55:25

   Yeah, and I, and…

   1. BKBert Kreischer45:00

      about what you weigh?

   2. TSTom Segura45:00

      Yeah, and I, and I should weigh what, 75 to 80.

   3. BKBert Kreischer45:02

      Yeah. Okay.

   4. TSTom Segura45:02

      And then I got up to, like, 83, 87 last year after the cruise.

   5. JRJoe Rogan45:06

      Oh, really?

   6. BKBert Kreischer45:07

      Yeah, we, we weigh like significantly more. (laughs)

   7. TSTom Segura45:09

      Yeah, more. And it's like, I'm not doing... You guys are actually working out.

   8. BKBert Kreischer45:12

      Yeah.

   9. TSTom Segura45:12

      You can eat fucking normal, idiots.

   10. JRJoe Rogan45:14

       Oh, yeah. No, no. I, I actually, I... Towards the end of it-

   11. TSTom Segura45:17

       I don't eat that good.

   12. JRJoe Rogan45:19

       Towards the end I started... I'd hear... You know, you, uh, probably maybe I'm the per- person who probably listens to this podcast the most. But you hear people talk about health and how they eat and you... And then in that challenge, the very last week I started going... Looking at food a tad bit differently going like, "I don't wanna feel like shit."

   13. TSTom Segura45:38

       Yeah.

   14. JRJoe Rogan45:38

       "I don't want pizza. I don't want..." I didn't want carbs. I wanted protein 'cause I get done a workout and I go, "Let's do four eggs and some... And a steak."

   15. TSTom Segura45:46

       Yeah.

   16. JRJoe Rogan45:46

       Like, I bought... I ordered a bunch of buffalo steaks and I was like... And which it's so crazy is I'd never... I was like, "Water. Yeah, I need water." Like, I'd never looked at food as sustenance.

   17. BKBert Kreischer45:55

       How, how crazy did you get, like, with eating when it was like really- (laughs)

   18. TSTom Segura45:59

       When it was what?

   19. JRJoe Rogan45:59

       On the fucking plane. You know when they walk by with that little basket?

   20. TSTom Segura46:01

       Yeah.

   21. JRJoe Rogan46:02

       I was like, "Oh, I'll take, uh, all this shit."

   22. TSTom Segura46:04

       (laughs)

   23. JRJoe Rogan46:04

       I mean, fucking popcorn is going noggin.

   24. BKBert Kreischer46:05

       'Cause when you're doing the two workouts a day, the two-a-days, which I had a bunch of-

   25. TSTom Segura46:08

       Hungry.

   26. BKBert Kreischer46:09

       ... you could ne- yeah, you were hungry just all the time.

   27. JRJoe Rogan46:10

       When I did th- that whole five and a half hours on the elliptical, I ate a box of animal crackers and I drank cream soda.

   28. TSTom Segura46:16

       While you were doing it?

   29. BKBert Kreischer46:17

       You did?

   30. JRJoe Rogan46:17

       While I was doing it.
