1. 0:00 – 15:00

   (clears throat) (humming) And we're…

   1. JRJoe Rogan0:00

      (clears throat) (humming) And we're going live.

   2. WKWiz Khalifa0:07

      Yes, sir. (laughs)

   3. JRJoe Rogan0:08

      (laughs) What you got on ... Social media?

   4. WKWiz Khalifa0:09

      Mm-hmm. People love you, bro.

   5. JRJoe Rogan0:12

      People love you too. Oh, we're live? We're doing it right now.

   6. WKWiz Khalifa0:14

      I'm super excited.

   7. JRJoe Rogan0:15

      So we, we've, uh, gawed ... What's the word? Gawked? What's the word when you ogled over someone's body?

   8. NANarrator0:21

      Sure.

   9. JRJoe Rogan0:22

      Well, dude, you got jacked.

   10. WKWiz Khalifa0:23

       (laughs)

   11. JRJoe Rogan0:23

       You went from being skinny to shredded.

   12. WKWiz Khalifa0:25

       Yeah, yeah.

   13. JRJoe Rogan0:26

       You're pretty serious about MMA training, man.

   14. WKWiz Khalifa0:28

       It's really just about, like, the lifestyle. You know what I mean? You're a martial artist, so you know, freaking, the mind and the body and the soul go together, so-

   15. JRJoe Rogan0:38

       Yeah. For sure.

   16. WKWiz Khalifa0:38

       All these things, I'm learning about them, I'm, I'm able to put them all together. You can't be a complete person until everything is together.

   17. JRJoe Rogan0:44

       Ooh.

   18. WKWiz Khalifa0:44

       So, um, you know, spiritually I've already ascended above my peers. Now I'm taking my body up there.

   19. JRJoe Rogan0:51

       How are you doing that spiritually? Through that giant jug of weed you got on the table? (laughs)

   20. WKWiz Khalifa0:54

       Exactly. (laughs) Stay high.

   21. JRJoe Rogan0:56

       Yeah, for the folks only listening, Wiz brought, literally, like, a, a Mason jar-

   22. WKWiz Khalifa1:01

       Uh-huh.

   23. JRJoe Rogan1:01

       ... filled with weed.

   24. WKWiz Khalifa1:02

       Yeah, yep. Yep. Yep. And it's, like, halfway full 'cause I was in the studio.

   25. JRJoe Rogan1:05

       Do you have specific strains that you like?

   26. WKWiz Khalifa1:07

       Yeah, I smoke the KK, Khalifa Kush.

   27. JRJoe Rogan1:09

       Oh, you got your own shit?

   28. WKWiz Khalifa1:10

       Yeah, yeah.

   29. JRJoe Rogan1:10

       Mmm.

   30. WKWiz Khalifa1:11

       Yeah, absolutely. 'Cause I, I got tired of smoking all different types of weed, um. It's like a drink, you know what I'm saying?
2. 15:00 – 30:00

   Mm-hmm. …

   1. WKWiz Khalifa15:01

      I party a lot.

   2. JRJoe Rogan15:02

      Mm-hmm.

   3. WKWiz Khalifa15:02

      And I'm in the studio till, like, 5:00, 6:00 in the morning, and I'm drinking and stuff like that. So, to just be going down that path and doing that every day, bro, I look crazy. I feel crazy. (laughs) Like-

   4. JRJoe Rogan15:14

      (laughs)

   5. WKWiz Khalifa15:14

      ... I have to get that off of me, like, out of me. You know what I mean?

   6. JRJoe Rogan15:18

      Yeah.

   7. WKWiz Khalifa15:18

      That's why your gym is crazy, bro. I need to do something like that for myself.

   8. JRJoe Rogan15:22

      It's nice to have a place.

   9. WKWiz Khalifa15:23

      At some point. Like, that's how I look at you, like the OG. So it's like, I'm not going to go do it tomorrow, like, "Hey, everybody build me a gym."

   10. JRJoe Rogan15:29

       (laughs)

   11. WKWiz Khalifa15:30

       But, you know, eventually, that's the goal. When I look back, I'll be like, "I seen Joe's gym and that's, that's what made me."

   12. JRJoe Rogan15:36

       Well, dude, you train hard. I've seen your videos.

   13. WKWiz Khalifa15:38

       Yeah, I w- I w- I, I get to work.

   14. JRJoe Rogan15:40

       You, you work out at Unbreakable?

   15. WKWiz Khalifa15:41

       Yeah, yup.

   16. JRJoe Rogan15:41

       Is that, that your spot?

   17. WKWiz Khalifa15:42

       Mm-hmm.

   18. JRJoe Rogan15:42

       Yeah, that's a great gym.

   19. WKWiz Khalifa15:43

       It is a really good gym. Uh, Jay Glazer-

   20. JRJoe Rogan15:46

       Yeah.

   21. WKWiz Khalifa15:47

       ... he, he owns that spot and, um-

   22. JRJoe Rogan15:48

       Very, very impressive place. He put together an awesome place.

   23. WKWiz Khalifa15:51

       Yeah, yeah. It's cool. The, the team there is good. Um, like I said, it's not all about, like, just fighting and being, you know, the biggest, baddest, meanest motherfucker. Like, they really tea- taught me about my body.

   24. JRJoe Rogan16:03

       Mm-hmm.

   25. WKWiz Khalifa16:03

       They, that's what they do. They teach you there. Whatever your goals are, they bring you, you know, up to that speed. So it's like, I weighed like 140 pounds ever since I got out of high school. And I was like, "Fuck, I gotta gain some weight." And they helped me out.

   26. JRJoe Rogan16:17

       And s- doesn't Snoop train there too?

   27. WKWiz Khalifa16:19

       Yeah.

   28. JRJoe Rogan16:19

       There's this video of Snoop sparring. He's sparring Daniel Sarrafian.

   29. WKWiz Khalifa16:23

       Yeah. Daniel's fucking crazy. You ever met that dude? (laughs)

   30. JRJoe Rogan16:25

       He's a beast. Yeah, I know that guy.
3. 30:00 – 45:00

   There's no rest. …

   1. WKWiz Khalifa30:00

      and it's like, "Oh, fuck. What do I do?" Like-

   2. JRJoe Rogan30:02

      There's no rest.

   3. WKWiz Khalifa30:03

      There's no rest. And everything that was ac-, acceptable before, becomes unacceptable because now you're up here.

   4. JRJoe Rogan30:09

      Ah.

   5. WKWiz Khalifa30:10

      You know what I mean?

   6. JRJoe Rogan30:11

      Yeah.

   7. WKWiz Khalifa30:11

      So it's like, yeah, you have to, you have to, you have to pick your shots. And like, you know what I'm saying?

   8. JRJoe Rogan30:16

      Yeah.

   9. WKWiz Khalifa30:16

      You can't really like just go crazy like you did back in the day. So there's an art to it, you know what I mean? And that's how you really maintain and stay in that spot, and even level up, you know?

   10. JRJoe Rogan30:27

       So, do you consciously think, okay, uh, balance out enjoyment with things that I have to do to stay disciplined?

   11. WKWiz Khalifa30:34

       100%.

   12. JRJoe Rogan30:35

       Yeah.

   13. WKWiz Khalifa30:35

       100%.

   14. JRJoe Rogan30:36

       That's a very smart way of looking at it.

   15. WKWiz Khalifa30:37

       Yeah, yup, 100%. Like those, there has to be a balance of each because it's like, all right, now I'm at this new level, like whether I wanna behave like this or not, I put myself here. I worked hard, now I'm with these elite motherfuckers so this is the, this is how I have to act because I'm not down here anymore. I worked from here to get here.

   16. JRJoe Rogan31:00

       Yeah.

   17. WKWiz Khalifa31:01

       So what happens? You balance, you put things into place, you do a little bit of this and a little bit of that instead of a lot of that.

   18. JRJoe Rogan31:09

       Mm-hmm.

   19. WKWiz Khalifa31:09

       You know what I mean? And you just pick your shots. And it's like, you're gonna get everything in the end. This is how it's just planned and how it's supposed to be, but you just piece it together just a little bit differently. Like I just turned 31. Well, damn, no, I'm about to be 32. That's young to a lot of people, that's old to some people as well. But for me, it's like, there's a whole new mind state, you know what I mean? And I feel like through my 20s, I was actually like a fucking teenager, and like now I'm (laughs) I'm an adult. So now I look at things a little bit differently as like, yo, I was really a kid. This is how you behave as an adult for the rest of your life. And it still involves a whole bunch of partying and having fun, but the business gets handled and things get approached totally differently.

   20. JRJoe Rogan31:59

       That's a balanced way of looking at it, man.

   21. WKWiz Khalifa32:01

       Mm-hmm.

   22. JRJoe Rogan32:01

       I love it.

   23. WKWiz Khalifa32:02

       Mm-hmm.

   24. JRJoe Rogan32:03

       Enjoy it.

   25. WKWiz Khalifa32:03

       Yeah.

   26. JRJoe Rogan32:03

       That's the other thing, too. Like people have to understand, to, to be someone like you, to be a, a very successful rapper-

   27. WKWiz Khalifa32:13

       Mm-hmm.

   28. JRJoe Rogan32:14

       ... and to not expect you to live the way you talk about all the time-

   29. WKWiz Khalifa32:18

       Right.

   30. JRJoe Rogan32:18

       ... is so ridiculous.
4. 45:00 – 1:00:00

   Whoa. …

   1. JRJoe Rogan45:00

      if they're running with just socks on. It looks like they are.

   2. WKWiz Khalifa45:02

      Whoa.

   3. NANarrator45:02

      Yeah.

   4. JRJoe Rogan45:03

      Yeah.

   5. WKWiz Khalifa45:03

      That's amazing.

   6. JRJoe Rogan45:04

      To just wear the socks.

   7. WKWiz Khalifa45:05

      Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's difficult.

   8. JRJoe Rogan45:07

      Fuck, man, 'cause that makes your feet strong, 'cause you just- you've- using every muscle in your toes to push through that sand.

   9. WKWiz Khalifa45:14

      That's difficult.

   10. JRJoe Rogan45:15

       Fuck. There's levels to this life.

   11. WKWiz Khalifa45:19

       Yeah.

   12. JRJoe Rogan45:19

       Every-

   13. WKWiz Khalifa45:20

       That's- that's literally who's gonna go to the top or who's gonna stop in the middle.

   14. JRJoe Rogan45:24

       Yep. Yeah.

   15. WKWiz Khalifa45:25

       Yeah, fuck.

   16. JRJoe Rogan45:26

       Those little decisions you make every day.

   17. WKWiz Khalifa45:28

       I just seen my whole life (laughs) just running up some dunes just then, like.

   18. JRJoe Rogan45:34

       Yeah.

   19. WKWiz Khalifa45:34

       Yeah, it was cool.

   20. JRJoe Rogan45:35

       Yeah.

   21. WKWiz Khalifa45:35

       Yeah, yep. That's awesome.

   22. JRJoe Rogan45:37

       It's like a mental martial art too.

   23. WKWiz Khalifa45:39

       Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Wow.

   24. JRJoe Rogan45:41

       You're- you're testing the mind.

   25. WKWiz Khalifa45:42

       Hell yeah.

   26. JRJoe Rogan45:43

       Yeah.

   27. WKWiz Khalifa45:44

       And, like, getting stronger at the same time.

   28. JRJoe Rogan45:46

       Yeah.

   29. WKWiz Khalifa45:47

       That's the cold part.

   30. JRJoe Rogan45:48

       Yeah.
5. 1:00:00 – 1:05:57

   Mm-hmm. …

   1. JRJoe Rogan1:00:00

      you should see it. But he eventually goes to South Africa and does this concert there.

   2. WKWiz Khalifa1:00:04

      Mm-hmm.

   3. JRJoe Rogan1:00:04

      And you'll cry.

   4. WKWiz Khalifa1:00:05

      Yeah.

   5. JRJoe Rogan1:00:05

      You'll cry.

   6. WKWiz Khalifa1:00:06

      Yeah.

   7. JRJoe Rogan1:00:06

      You're like, "Oh, my God." Can you imagine this guy was working as a laborer-

   8. WKWiz Khalifa1:00:10

      Mm.

   9. JRJoe Rogan1:00:11

      ... and the whole time-

   10. WKWiz Khalifa1:00:12

       Was-

   11. JRJoe Rogan1:00:12

       ... he was a superstar-

   12. WKWiz Khalifa1:00:13

       Damn.

   13. JRJoe Rogan1:00:13

       ... and he didn't even know it?

   14. WKWiz Khalifa1:00:14

       Damn.

   15. JRJoe Rogan1:00:14

       And then the people see him, they're singing along to his music.

   16. WKWiz Khalifa1:00:17

       Mm-hmm.

   17. JRJoe Rogan1:00:17

       I mean, the guy's blown away.

   18. WKWiz Khalifa1:00:19

       I would love that.

   19. JRJoe Rogan1:00:20

       It's a crazy documentary.

   20. WKWiz Khalifa1:00:21

       I gotta check that out.

   21. JRJoe Rogan1:00:22

       I- i- it's, it's insane to watch. Like, how could this be true?

   22. WKWiz Khalifa1:00:26

       Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Damn.

   23. JRJoe Rogan1:00:29

       It's amazing.

   24. WKWiz Khalifa1:00:30

       I kinda feel like I heard the name but I never-

   25. JRJoe Rogan1:00:32

       Oh, you've gotta watch it.

   26. WKWiz Khalifa1:00:32

       ... I never, never, no I've never seen that.

   27. JRJoe Rogan1:00:34

       You've gotta watch it. It's a sensational-

   28. WKWiz Khalifa1:00:35

       Yeah, I gotta check that out, bro.

   29. JRJoe Rogan1:00:36
