4. B-B-Real
  It's good to be here, bro.
5. JRJoe Rogan
  Good to see you, my friend.
6. B-B-Real
  Yeah.
7. JRJoe Rogan
  We're up and at 'em. What's going on, man?
8. B-B-Real
  Chilling, man. Working hard, as always.
9. JRJoe Rogan
  Escape from LA.
10. B-B-Real
  Escape from LA, man.
11. JRJoe Rogan
  (laughs)
12. B-B-Real
  That thing... You know, every time we go on tour, that's, (laughs) that's what I look at. Like, any shows, all right, we're get- getting away for, for a little bit.
13. JRJoe Rogan
  Just take a breather.
14. B-B-Real
  Yeah.
15. JRJoe Rogan
  Although it's like, I have hope LA comes back. I really do. I hope it reemerges as what it used to be or better, but-
16. B-B-Real
  Yeah. You know, I believe it, it can, too.
17. JRJoe Rogan
  Sure.
18. B-B-Real
  And it, it, it possibly might, man. But it, it, it's gonna take a minute before (laughs) we get the right people in there-
19. JRJoe Rogan
  I know.
20. B-B-Real
  ... running the spot, man.
21. JRJoe Rogan
  Who are the right people though? That's the problem.
22. B-B-Real
  That's, that's hard to say, right? 'Cause-
23. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah.
24. B-B-Real
  I mean, it's, it's just hard to trust any politician these days, man.
25. JRJoe Rogan
  (laughs)
26. B-B-Real
  I mean, my friends have hit me up like, "Hey, when are you gonna run for mayor?" I'm like, "I'm never running for mayor."
27. JRJoe Rogan
  (laughs)
28. B-B-Real
  Are you crazy?
29. JRJoe Rogan
  Bro, you would win.
30. B-B-Real
  I probably would in that, that-
15:00 – 30:00
Yeah. …
1. B-B-Real
  you the game on how people are doing (laughs) in Florida, how these, how these folks ... this is, like, a thing out there.
2. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah.
3. B-B-Real
  The, the pain management clinics and all that stuff-
4. JRJoe Rogan
  Mm-hmm.
5. B-B-Real
  ... with the OxyContin, all, all that stuff. What trips me out is it ... You know, this fentanyl thing, right? People know about it. It, it's been out there, yet they'll still challenge themselves (laughs) and try to, like, party like, like the shit ain't present.
6. JRJoe Rogan
  Yes.
7. B-B-Real
  It's like the gamble they're taking with that, it, it just blows my mind.
8. JRJoe Rogan
  I think that hard drug addiction is a different thing.
9. B-B-Real
  Yeah.
10. JRJoe Rogan
  I really think it's a different thing. I haven't experienced it, but I have friends that have, and they get scared like they got captured by a demon. And when they get clean, they don't wanna fuck around with nothing.
11. B-B-Real
  Yeah, yeah.
12. JRJoe Rogan
  They're like, "Dude, you don't understand. I got captured by a demon." And it's kind of a, a ... You wonder, like, when, when people talk about, like, demonic possession. Like, that was always a thing back in the day.
13. B-B-Real
  Yeah.
14. JRJoe Rogan
  Before, you know, people really had an understanding of human psychology and all, all, all ... myths and lores and what people were terrified of, like demonic possession was a real thing. But if you think about what happens to someone when they get really hooked on meth, I mean how-
15. B-B-Real
  Yeah.
16. JRJoe Rogan
  ... much different is that-
17. B-B-Real
  Yeah.
18. JRJoe Rogan
  ... than being captured by a demon? You're captured by a chemical demon that's ruining-
19. B-B-Real
  That's a chemical demon.
20. JRJoe Rogan
  ... your life-
21. B-B-Real
  Yeah.
22. JRJoe Rogan
  ... wants you to get in a fistfight with cops, wants you to drive with no fucking tires.
23. B-B-Real
  (laughs)
24. JRJoe Rogan
  Wild shit.
25. B-B-Real
  Yeah. It's, it's, it's-
26. JRJoe Rogan
  It's a chemical demon.
27. B-B-Real
  It does possess you. I mean, like, look-
28. JRJoe Rogan
  Oof.
29. B-B-Real
  ... when people were doing the PCP thing back in the day, right?
30. JRJoe Rogan
  Mm-hmm.
30:00 – 45:00
Yeah, these dudes been…
1. JRJoe Rogan
  fucking straight up killer when he was young.
2. B-B-Real
  Yeah, these dudes been around for a long time.
3. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah. Yeah.
4. B-B-Real
  They-
5. JRJoe Rogan
  So Dan and Joe just beating the shit out of each other in front of everybody.
6. B-B-Real
  (laughs)
7. JRJoe Rogan
  Look at this. This is crazy. This is a 100% full on fight.
8. B-B-Real
  Oh, man. Oh, man.
9. JRJoe Rogan
  He just hit him with a hard ground and pound right hand from the top.
10. B-B-Real
  If we didn't have beef beforehand, we'd have beef after.
11. JRJoe Rogan
  Joe Lauzon with a deep half sweep. That's a beautiful sweep he just hit him with. He hit him with a deep half.
12. B-B-Real
  Oh. Oh.
13. JRJoe Rogan
  Oh my goodness.
14. B-B-Real
  Brothers.
15. JRJoe Rogan
  Oh my goodness.
16. B-B-Real
  (laughs)
17. JRJoe Rogan
  For no money. Just no money. He got the choke in.
18. B-B-Real
  I'd like to play the song from Heng-
19. JRJoe Rogan
  He got it, he got it.
20. B-B-Real
  ... Hengi and Ivo Lee, Brothers.
21. JRJoe Rogan
  He got them.
22. NANarrator
  ... yeah, yeah, yeah. Fucking didn't even let go. Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap. Fuck you.
23. (laughs)
24. Hey, hey, hey, here we go.
25. Oh.
26. B-B-Real
  They got beef now. (laughs)
27. NANarrator
  Yeah.
28. JRJoe Rogan
  He got mad that he didn't let go when he tapped.
29. NANarrator
  (laughs)
30. B-B-Real
  (laughs)
45:00 – 1:00:00
(laughs) …
1. JRJoe Rogan
  about, about cannabis. When I was a kid, I didn't really do anything. I didn't party at all from the time when I was like 15 till I was like 21, 'cause I was training and fighting, and, uh, that's all I did. So I was a nerd, sort of. I was like, kind of like socially awkward. And I thought that people who were getting high were just wasting their life and they weren't going to get nowhere. Like I wasn't gonna do that. I b- rarely drank, and if I did, I was always mad at myself. I was always like, "You're gonna fucking slow your body down."
2. B-B-Real
  (laughs)
3. JRJoe Rogan
  "This is gonna fuck you up and you're not gonna be able to achieve your goals." I was too, like maniacal in this mindset, and I thought that, like weed was for losers, until I started hanging out with Eddie Bravo. And Eddie Bravo and I were doing jujitsu together at Jean Jacques Mercedo's. This is like '98, somewhere around then.
4. B-B-Real
  Yeah.
5. JRJoe Rogan
  And, um, he starts talking about how much weed influences his music. And I go, "Really?" And he goes, "Yeah." He goes, "My jujitsu techniques, like I think a lot of them up when I'm high."
6. B-B-Real
  Hm.
7. JRJoe Rogan
  And I'm like, "That's crazy, because I thought weed just slows you down." He goes, "No, no, no, no, that's just like what people who don't smoke weed think."
8. B-B-Real
  Yeah.
9. JRJoe Rogan
  I'm like, "Okay, let's try this shit." So we went, got high-
10. B-B-Real
  (laughs)
11. JRJoe Rogan
  ... and then, uh, we went to, uh, Baskin-Robbins. And I remember, this is like me high for the first time in, I don't know, uh, more than a decade probably.
12. B-B-Real
  Yeah.
13. JRJoe Rogan
  Right? Eating this fucking ice cream going, "Dude, this is the greatest-"
14. B-B-Real
  (laughs)
15. JRJoe Rogan
  "... fucking flavor I've ever experienced in my life." Oh, i- ice cream sundae when you're high-
16. B-B-Real
  Yes.
17. JRJoe Rogan
  ... for the first time, like y- you've never... Li- literally like I had never been high before, because the, the time before that was like, maybe I was like in my early 20s, like 21 or something like that.
18. B-B-Real
  Yeah.
19. JRJoe Rogan
  Like it had been a long fucking time. Eight, nine years.
20. B-B-Real
  Yes.
21. JRJoe Rogan
  I'm like, "You know weed. Weed slows you down. Weed's bad for you." To like, "Oh my god, this is magic."
22. B-B-Real
  Yeah.
23. JRJoe Rogan
  "This is magic. Like this food tastes so good, like it tastes way better than it would taste."
24. B-B-Real
  You appreciate it a lot more.
25. JRJoe Rogan
  Oh my god. You appreciate friendship more. And I was like, "This is amazing." I was like, "Oh, I didn't know what this was."
26. B-B-Real
  Yeah.
27. JRJoe Rogan
  I was like, "I thought this was just for losers. I thought this was this thing, and you, you'd take and you're like, 'Ha, wow man.'"
28. B-B-Real
  Yeah.
29. JRJoe Rogan
  "Ha ha."
30. B-B-Real
  It's all, it's all the misinformation-
1:00:00 – 1:12:51
Well, the problem is…
1. B-B-Real
  and that's it.
2. JRJoe Rogan
  Well, the problem is everybody's finding out from everybody else.
3. B-B-Real
  Right. Uh, uh, you, uh, that's what I'm saying.
4. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah.
5. B-B-Real
  You have to educate them properly.
6. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah, they're not... uh, you're, you're not getting good information from your friends about how much molly you should take.
7. B-B-Real
  Right. You can't let someone-
8. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah.
9. B-B-Real
  ... else educate them. You ha-
10. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah.
11. B-B-Real
  You have to be the one to do it in- instead of the sheltering that we've gotten through, through most of our lives here. You know, us growing up-
12. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah.
13. B-B-Real
  ... our generation, our parents didn't wanna tell us shit, just-
14. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah.
15. B-B-Real
  ... "Don't do that."
16. JRJoe Rogan
  "Don't do that."
17. B-B-Real
  And sometimes they didn't know how to explain why.
18. JRJoe Rogan
  Right.
19. B-B-Real
  But we are in a different place and different time where energy, I mean, um, information is vast.
20. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah.
21. B-B-Real
  And you can get it at, at the click of a finger, you know, click f- a- a- at a key on your computer, you know what I mean? So...
22. JRJoe Rogan
  W- you just gotta also take into account that, like, people that live like us today, humans listening to this in 2023, this is a new type of person. This is a new type of informed person. People are so much more informed, even misinformed than they've ever been before. You're dealing with an information overload-
23. B-B-Real
  Oh, yeah.
24. JRJoe Rogan
  ... that's never, never existed before. And, you know, if you just go back a couple generations, like, my, my grandparents came from Italy, so...... we're talking about, you know, they, they came over here during the Depression. They, they lived on a farm. Like, it was, uh, like, horrible, brutal shit-
25. B-B-Real
  Yeah.
26. JRJoe Rogan
  ... in Italy. They came over to America. Like, those people that just got on a boat before YouTube-
27. B-B-Real
  (laughs)
28. JRJoe Rogan
  ... and just made their way, they moved their whole family across the country, those are wild people, man.
29. B-B-Real
  That's wild.
30. JRJoe Rogan
  And they were just trying to escape whatever the fuck was going on in Europe, which is probably even worse.
