   3. JRJoe Rogan0:12

      Bro.

   4. BSBrian Simpson0:13

      Oh.

   5. JRJoe Rogan0:13

      My friend.

   6. BSBrian Simpson0:14

      Cheers.

   7. JRJoe Rogan0:14

      Let's to you, my brother.

   8. BSBrian Simpson0:15

      Thank you, man.

   9. JRJoe Rogan0:15

      Hey, my pleasure.

   10. BSBrian Simpson0:18

       Ah, Scotch.

   11. JRJoe Rogan0:19

       Ah.

   12. BSBrian Simpson0:20

       Okay. First of all, Joe, did you see the guy yesterday, his debut MMA match, he won by the way, he has no lower body.

   13. JRJoe Rogan0:30

       Yes, Zion.

   14. BSBrian Simpson0:32

       Zion.

   15. JRJoe Rogan0:33

       Yeah. Dude, incredible.

   16. BSBrian Simpson0:34

       It was unbelievable.

   17. JRJoe Rogan0:36

       How fast he closes the distance with no legs.

   18. BSBrian Simpson0:39

       And, uh, so what my question is, are you a-

   19. JRJoe Rogan0:44

       Zion Clark, amazing.

   20. BSBrian Simpson0:47

       ... are you allowed... Is he considered a downed opponent?

   21. JRJoe Rogan0:50

       That's a good question.

   22. BSBrian Simpson0:51

       Because that, because that-

   23. JRJoe Rogan0:54

       Changes the game.

   24. BSBrian Simpson0:55

       ... that makes him OP. He, because you can't kick him. You-

   25. JRJoe Rogan0:57

       You can kick him in the body.

   26. BSBrian Simpson0:59

       Uh.

   27. JRJoe Rogan1:00

       You can kick a downed opponent in the body. I mean, you think a leg kick is bad? Imagine an arm kick.

   28. BSBrian Simpson1:05

       Yeah. And then imagine like you can't grab his legs, you can't...

   29. JRJoe Rogan1:08

       Yeah. It's, it's... And also, his upper body's insanely strong for someone of that weight class. So you have to think, like... First of all, nothing but props for the guy. No excuses.

   30. BSBrian Simpson1:20

       Oh, yeah.
2. 15:00 – 30:00

   Hm. …

   1. BSBrian Simpson15:00

      I, I heard somebody recently say that it's not ... Procrastination is your inability to deal with the negative feelings around the task.

   2. JRJoe Rogan15:07

      Hm.

   3. BSBrian Simpson15:08

      Because your procrastination isn't you just not doing the important thing. It's you're doing something unimportant instead.

   4. JRJoe Rogan15:14

      Right.

   5. BSBrian Simpson15:15

      You're, you're, you're doing something with no consequences. You're, you're-

   6. JRJoe Rogan15:17

      Right.

   7. BSBrian Simpson15:17

      ... scrolling TikTok. You're-

   8. JRJoe Rogan15:19

      Yeah.

   9. BSBrian Simpson15:19

      ... playing video games. You're doing something that, that with no stakes and-

   10. JRJoe Rogan15:22

       Right.

   11. BSBrian Simpson15:22

       ... because your, the stakes make you uncomfortable.

   12. JRJoe Rogan15:24

       Right.

   13. BSBrian Simpson15:25

       Yeah.

   14. JRJoe Rogan15:25

       Yeah, like to sit in front of the computer and not knowing where to go with anything.

   15. BSBrian Simpson15:29

       Yeah.

   16. JRJoe Rogan15:30

       It's like, "Fuck." It's, you can't af-

   17. BSBrian Simpson15:31

       I see, I, I need to leave my hou- because I, do we ... we have a, we, uh, because, you know, I'm roommates with Hans and, and, uh, Hasan, and we, we, there's a extra room that we kind of turned into a podcast studio.

   18. JRJoe Rogan15:42

       Mm-hmm.

   19. BSBrian Simpson15:43

       But I have to leave. I still record somewhere else because I have to leave.

   20. JRJoe Rogan15:48

       To work.

   21. BSBrian Simpson15:49

       To work, yeah.

   22. JRJoe Rogan15:49

       Yeah.

   23. BSBrian Simpson15:49

       I can't ... me ha- having my computer in my room was the worst thing I've ever done m- in my bedroom.

   24. JRJoe Rogan15:54

       Mm, because you just sit in the bedroom then.

   25. BSBrian Simpson15:56

       Yeah, because it's, it's the place where I work and the place where I rest, they like blend.

   26. JRJoe Rogan16:01

       Yeah.

   27. BSBrian Simpson16:01

       And it's like I d- I can't get things done that way.

   28. JRJoe Rogan16:04

       I realized early on when I started doing my podcast, like I, I had to take it out of my house. I was like, "I gotta take it out of here." Because, and plus, my daughters were really young and I was bringing crazy people over and pot was coming out of the fucking-

   29. BSBrian Simpson16:15

       Oh, right.

   30. JRJoe Rogan16:15

       ... door and into the hallway, like-
3. 30:00 – 45:00

   Um, there's a lot…

   1. BSBrian Simpson30:00

      willing to take care of you.

   2. JRJoe Rogan30:02

      Um, there's a lot of pretty prostitutes, man.

   3. BSBrian Simpson30:05

      Uh, yeah, yeah.

   4. JRJoe Rogan30:06

      Some people go through some horrible shit in their life, you know, even if they're attractive. They're in the wrong situation-

   5. BSBrian Simpson30:12

      Yeah.

   6. JRJoe Rogan30:12

      ... with the wrong abuse-

   7. BSBrian Simpson30:14

      Or they-

   8. JRJoe Rogan30:14

      ... at home.

   9. BSBrian Simpson30:14

      (clears throat) Or they got schizophrenia or something.

   10. JRJoe Rogan30:16

       Yes.

   11. BSBrian Simpson30:16

       Yeah, yeah, yeah.

   12. JRJoe Rogan30:16

       Yes. Yeah.

   13. BSBrian Simpson30:17

       Mental health is-

   14. JRJoe Rogan30:18

       Men, too. Like, a hot guy with schizophrenia, what a disaster.

   15. BSBrian Simpson30:22

       (laughs)

   16. JRJoe Rogan30:22

       Waste, wasted all those genes-

   17. BSBrian Simpson30:23

       It's a complete waste.

   18. JRJoe Rogan30:24

       ... on a wacky brain.

   19. BSBrian Simpson30:25

       Bro, I forget what rapper said it, but he was like, uh, "It's like a fat ass on a nun."

   20. JRJoe Rogan30:29

       (laughs)

   21. BSBrian Simpson30:30

       Was that... Who was that? Chino XL.

   22. JRJoe Rogan30:33

       Oh, that's funny, Chino XL.

   23. BSBrian Simpson30:33

       He said you, he said, "You a worthless waste of flesh, like a fat ass on a nun."

   24. JRJoe Rogan30:37

       That's funny.

   25. BSBrian Simpson30:38

       That's some cold shit to say in the morning.

   26. JRJoe Rogan30:39

       That is very cold.

   27. BSBrian Simpson30:41

       (smacks lips) Yeah, but it's like, yeah, it's, it's kinda, it's, it's, it's sad, man. And it... But I, I'm not sure if the world is worse. 'Cause every... You know, the media wants you to believe that, like, everything's horrible.

   28. JRJoe Rogan30:52

       No.

   29. BSBrian Simpson30:53

       It-

   30. JRJoe Rogan30:53

       The world's better statistically.
4. 45:00 – 1:00:00

   (clears throat) …

   1. JRJoe Rogan45:00

   2. BSBrian Simpson45:00

      (clears throat)

   3. JRJoe Rogan45:00

      Like, that's the thing with martial arts, too. Like, sometimes someone's a white belt, and you always think of them as that person you used to crush when they were a white belt. And then all of a sudden, they're a purple belt, and you're in fucking danger.

   4. BSBrian Simpson45:09

      And they wipe, they wrap your ass up. (laughs)

   5. JRJoe Rogan45:10

      Yeah, you're in danger. You're like, "Oh, no, you got a lot better. Fuck."

   6. BSBrian Simpson45:14

      See, I'm, uh, jujitsu intimidates me. I think it, but I need, I need, I need to pick something up. I'm, uh, uh, I think I'm gonna do boxing.

   7. JRJoe Rogan45:21

      Why don't you do jujitsu?

   8. BSBrian Simpson45:22

      It's, it's... I don't know. It just some- I can't macha- 'Cause I d- I wrestled for, like, my freshman year of high school, and I, and I hated it.

   9. JRJoe Rogan45:31

      It's hard.

   10. BSBrian Simpson45:32

       Yeah, it, it's, it's constantly hard. It's like-

   11. JRJoe Rogan45:35

       Yep.

   12. BSBrian Simpson45:35

       ... it, it doesn't not, it doesn't stop being hard.

   13. JRJoe Rogan45:37

       Wrestlers are some of, like, the mentally strongest people in the world. The, the, just to get through the practices and the drills and all the live rounds, the live, uh, wrestling, and then to go to meets and to make weight the day of the match and the shit that those guys go through. The way they cut weight, the way, the s- the mental strength-

   14. BSBrian Simpson45:57

       Yeah.

   15. JRJoe Rogan45:57

       ... that wrestlers have is off the charts.

   16. BSBrian Simpson45:59

       They, they're masters at, at focusing while they're suffering.

   17. JRJoe Rogan46:03

       Mm-hmm.

   18. BSBrian Simpson46:04

       You know?

   19. JRJoe Rogan46:04

       Yeah.

   20. BSBrian Simpson46:05

       Whereas, like, most, the average person will be suffering, and 90% of their brain power will be focused on how much it sucks.

   21. JRJoe Rogan46:11

       Yeah.

   22. BSBrian Simpson46:12

       And wrestlers learn how to just ignore it and, like, completely focus while they're in pain, where they can't breathe, you know? What-

   23. JRJoe Rogan46:19

       They have a phrase for it. It's called embrace the grind.

   24. BSBrian Simpson46:22

       Yeah. 'Cause, 'cause I've been there. It's like, if you've never had a motherfucker on top of you...

   25. JRJoe Rogan46:26

       (laughs)

   26. BSBrian Simpson46:27

       ... that you can't get off you, you don't understand what I'm talking about. Because, look, I'll never forget one, this is what made me quit wrestling. (laughs) I showed up at this, it w- it was our school hosting a tournament. And, uh, and I gotten my brother to come. And, uh, and you know, my family didn't give a fuck about wrestling, but, but he came to watch. And I was going up against this other, uh, I was, it was my turn to go against this other dude. And I walked in, and this motherfucker's got, he's got some kind of tubes or some shit coming out of him. Like, he's on some kind of, I don't know, a heart thing or something. And no one gave me any guidance. No one gave me a heads-up. I didn't know if I was allowed to grab it. Like, would he die if I pulled it up? None of that shit. No one said anything to me. And I'm s- but I'm like, "Okay, it's fine. My brother's watching."

   27. JRJoe Rogan47:11

       (laughs)

   28. BSBrian Simpson47:11

       "I'm o- I'm just gonna fuck this dude up. Uh, well, he's crippled or something," right? That's what, that's how I was thinking back then. And as soon as the ref blew the whistle, I've never seen a motherfucker move this fast. He dove at my ankle and tripped me and was on my back, and we rolled out of bounds, and the ref blew the whistle again. He dove at my ankle and, and he did it, like, five times in a row, just s- just f- lightning. Fuck me up. And I threw my headset off, and I got docked a point, and I was like, "Fuck that," and I walked out of the gym.

   29. JRJoe Rogan47:39

       Wow.

   30. BSBrian Simpson47:40

       Because my b- uh, you know, 'cause it was the first time anyone had come to watch me, and I got just embarrassed, and I couldn't handle it.
5. 1:00:00 – 1:06:34

   Yeah. The, the on-…

   1. JRJoe Rogan1:00:00

      than any other kind of content?

   2. BSBrian Simpson1:00:02

      Yeah. The, the on- the only exception, the only thing that could even come close to hanging with porn is cat videos.

   3. JRJoe Rogan1:00:11

      What about TikToks now? TikTok's probably closing in. They're closing in.

   4. BSBrian Simpson1:00:13

      Even TikTok. TikTok is, TikTok is, everything on the internet is mostly porn and cats.

   5. JRJoe Rogan1:00:18

      (laughs)

   6. BSBrian Simpson1:00:20

      It's true.

   7. JRJoe Rogan1:00:21

      There's a lot of puppy stuff too.

   8. BSBrian Simpson1:00:23

      Yeah. Yeah.

   9. NANarrator1:00:25

      That's what drives tech. Porn drives tech.

   10. JRJoe Rogan1:00:27

       Yes.

   11. BSBrian Simpson1:00:27

       Yes.

   12. NANarrator1:00:27

       It's like the unspoken secret.

   13. BSBrian Simpson1:00:28

       It, it really does.

   14. JRJoe Rogan1:00:29

       Right, it, it drives innovation in terms of like, that's, it drove streaming, right?

   15. BSBrian Simpson1:00:32

       Yeah.

   16. NANarrator1:00:32

       VCRs wouldn't have existed.

   17. JRJoe Rogan1:00:34

       Porn videos weren't getting sold everywhere.

   18. BSBrian Simpson1:00:35

       Yep. Who-

   19. JRJoe Rogan1:00:35

       The Betamax is one. Everybody had a Betamax player.

   20. BSBrian Simpson1:00:38

       Who, who streamed 4K first? Porn.

   21. JRJoe Rogan1:00:40

       Did they?

   22. BSBrian Simpson1:00:41

       Yeah. Porn was first with the 4K. Porn, porn proliferated, like, the VR stuff.

   23. JRJoe Rogan1:00:46

       You know what's interesting? Like, industries get bailed out. Like, when things happen, they collapse 'cause people say, "Well, we can't afford to let this industry die off." Like the banking industry. Everybody would lose their money. We can't, we can't do that.

   24. BSBrian Simpson1:01:00

       Right.

   25. JRJoe Rogan1:01:00

       Like, other industries have been bailed out too when things go wrong. But when even, like, people complained about the music industry. Remember when Napster came along?

   26. BSBrian Simpson1:01:10

       Oh, yeah.

   27. JRJoe Rogan1:01:10

       Everybody was so upset, so upset.

   28. BSBrian Simpson1:01:13

       About Napster?

   29. JRJoe Rogan1:01:14

       Yeah. 'Cause all of a sudden people were just taking that content for free. But that happened to the porn industry and no one said shit. Tough shit.

   30. BSBrian Simpson1:01:20

       Yeah.
