   2. JRJoe Rogan0:12

      Cheers, sir. Good to see you, buddy.

   3. RWRemi Warren0:13

      Cheers. Good to see you, man.

   4. JRJoe Rogan0:14

      We were just saying, you're- you're a professional podcaster now too.

   5. RWRemi Warren0:17

      Yeah, I guess. (laughs) A little bit different, you know?

   6. JRJoe Rogan0:20

      Isn't that wild?

   7. RWRemi Warren0:20

      It's wild, man.

   8. JRJoe Rogan0:20

      I mean, when I met you, nobody was podcasting. (laughs)

   9. RWRemi Warren0:23

      No. You were like- you were like-

   10. JRJoe Rogan0:25

       (laughs) No, that's funny.

   11. RWRemi Warren0:25

       "You should podcast. You could do a really good podcast." I'm like, "All right, I'll podcast." (laughs)

   12. JRJoe Rogan0:30

       (laughs) I wonder how many podcasts I've talked people into doing.

   13. RWRemi Warren0:32

       A lot. I think you're responsible for most-

   14. JRJoe Rogan0:35

       (laughs)

   15. RWRemi Warren0:35

       ... of my Spotify playlist. (laughs)

   16. JRJoe Rogan0:36

       It's gotta be over 50.

   17. RWRemi Warren0:38

       Dude-

   18. JRJoe Rogan0:38

       At this time? Like, the amount of people that actually have podcasts, that got podcasts after I told them, "You should probably do a podcast."

   19. RWRemi Warren0:43

       Yeah.

   20. JRJoe Rogan0:44

       People were getting annoyed at me. I- I ran into people that would tell me personally in the street, "Dude, I love your podcast, but please stop telling everybody to do a podcast."

   21. RWRemi Warren0:52

       (laughs)

   22. JRJoe Rogan0:53

       I was like, "Why? What if they're good at it? What if they get good at it?"

   23. RWRemi Warren0:56

       Yeah.

   24. JRJoe Rogan0:56

       Like, what's the pro- what's the harm? You don't like it? Don't download it.

   25. RWRemi Warren0:59

       No.

   26. JRJoe Rogan1:00

       It's super easy to deal with.

   27. RWRemi Warren1:01

       It is, yeah. Yeah, that was the thing. You were just like wa- You were like, "Remy, you know what you need to do?" "What?" "Podcast." It was like, I think you told me three times before it got- (laughs)

   28. JRJoe Rogan1:10

       (laughs)

   29. RWRemi Warren1:10

       Fuck.

   30. JRJoe Rogan1:10

       Well, you're a great podcast guest.
2. 15:00 – 30:00

   Yeah, so I mean,…

   1. JRJoe Rogan15:00

      well, so just explain the injury. Let's get into the injury first.

   2. RWRemi Warren15:03

      Yeah, so I mean, I, I tore a tendon in my wrist that does a lot of the movement things and it ended up being dis- dislocated and had to do a reconstruction of the tendon and all that stuff. Had a surgery, essentially a botched surgery which made ... A, a- the surgery that, the surgery did probably more damage than maybe even the initial thing, come to find out.

   3. JRJoe Rogan15:24

      Really?

   4. RWRemi Warren15:24

      Yeah, so the, the surg- the bad surgery caused a lot of complications and then had to have like a salvage surgery after that.

   5. JRJoe Rogan15:31

      What, what kind of complications did it cause?

   6. RWRemi Warren15:33

      I mean, I lost the feeling in my hand. Um-

   7. JRJoe Rogan15:35

      You don't feel anything in that hand?

   8. RWRemi Warren15:36

      No, I do now. The second surgery, they like fixed all that.

   9. JRJoe Rogan15:39

      Oh, wow.

   10. RWRemi Warren15:40

       Um, there was, uh, yeah, just like the, the recovery. It went from, you know, essentially a ... What, what do they promise? Like three-month to six-month kind of recovery to a couple years down the track and still not even being able to function 100%.

   11. JRJoe Rogan15:55

       Wow.

   12. RWRemi Warren15:56

       Still a lot of pain and other things. So, um, but yeah, but because of that-

   13. JRJoe Rogan16:01

       So wh- so what was wrong with the first surgery? Like what did they do? It just didn't turn out well?

   14. RWRemi Warren16:05

       Yeah. Well, the, um, they broke, uh, one of the bits when they were drilling in and it got, the bit, I guess, got broken in the, it's like a hollow screw. So it got busted off in there, so then they tried to use another bit to retrieve the bit and broke that bit.

   15. JRJoe Rogan16:21

       (gasps)

   16. RWRemi Warren16:21

       And then they used a hammer and like a-

   17. JRJoe Rogan16:23

       Oh, no.

   18. RWRemi Warren16:24

       They used a hammer and something else to pound out the, um ...

   19. JRJoe Rogan16:29

       The bit?

   20. RWRemi Warren16:30

       The, the broken stuff, yeah.

   21. JRJoe Rogan16:31

       Oh my God.

   22. RWRemi Warren16:31

       And then that caused the, everything was h- it was an anchor screw, so then that tore the ... So they took my tendon, used that tendon to make a tendon, and then that, that, that damaged the tendon. But then, you know, I'd been under, under a tourniquet for so long that it's like you gotta just finish it up, see what happens. Well, what happened was the tendon tore, so essentially his surgery was a complete failure. It didn't work at all.

   23. JRJoe Rogan16:55

       Oh, wow.

   24. RWRemi Warren16:55

       Plus I now had all this additional scar tissue from the hammering and the, trying to beat the thing back out. So that's what caused a lot of like-

   25. JRJoe Rogan17:03

       Did you go to a veterinarian or a regular doctor? (laughs)

   26. RWRemi Warren17:05

       Yeah. (laughs) Exactly. So-

   27. JRJoe Rogan17:06

       This guy working on horses?

   28. RWRemi Warren17:07

       No, it was actually, it was like a first monkey's performing surgery. I thought it was like, "This is gonna be great." (laughs)

   29. JRJoe Rogan17:15

       (laughs) It'd be a cool YouTube video.

   30. RWRemi Warren17:17

       Yeah, yeah. It would be a great YouTube video, yeah.
3. 30:00 – 45:00

   Mm-hmm. …

   1. RWRemi Warren30:00

      there's times where you go ... It, it's actually the opposite for me. If something's surpri- Is like there, it's, you're just like, "Ah, it's here." But it's when you gotta stalk all day on something-

   2. JRJoe Rogan30:08

      Mm-hmm.

   3. RWRemi Warren30:08

      And you're like, "I've invested my entire day into this," or, "This is the last chance," like, "don't fuck it up." (laughs)

   4. JRJoe Rogan30:15

      Yeah.

   5. RWRemi Warren30:15

      And then, like, you go ... That's when you start to, "Okay, well, when, when I get there, here's what I'm gonna do."

   6. JRJoe Rogan30:20

      Yeah.

   7. RWRemi Warren30:21

      Talk yourself through it in a way.

   8. JRJoe Rogan30:23

      When you're going through the shot, do you talk to yourself as you're shooting, as you're pulling the trigger?

   9. RWRemi Warren30:27

      Um, no, but there's a- a little bit of a checklist just so I don't kind of like... Draw back, anchor, level, focus-

   10. JRJoe Rogan30:36

       Mm.

   11. RWRemi Warren30:37

       ... kind of a-

   12. JRJoe Rogan30:37

       So you just go through that checklist in your head?

   13. RWRemi Warren30:39

       Yeah, I think so.

   14. JRJoe Rogan30:40

       So do you, do you go through it like audibly or do you go through it-

   15. RWRemi Warren30:43

       No.

   16. JRJoe Rogan30:43

       ... where you just do the things?

   17. RWRemi Warren30:44

       I do the things.

   18. JRJoe Rogan30:46

       L- b- level-

   19. RWRemi Warren30:47

       Yeah.

   20. JRJoe Rogan30:47

       ... lev- m- um, center your peep?

   21. RWRemi Warren30:48

       Yeah.

   22. JRJoe Rogan30:48

       All that? Go through all that?

   23. RWRemi Warren30:49

       Yeah, align... Just, I just make sure that I'm- I'm making the good shot, and then I just focus on that shot.

   24. JRJoe Rogan30:55

       Mm. Do you, um... Have you ever tried the thumb triggers? Or-

   25. RWRemi Warren31:00

       Yeah, I shoot... I've got all kinds of releases and I'll just shoot 'em all, but just for... I don't even know why. Just for fun, I guess?

   26. JRJoe Rogan31:08

       Right.

   27. RWRemi Warren31:08

       Or like, let's say, um, sometimes too, if I'm like shooting and I go, "God, this is... I'm just not shooting good," then I'll swap up the way that I shoot and go, "Oh, okay." There's something like... M- my normal method of shooting is... Yeah, maybe it's... I don't even know if you'd call it tar- like essentially a target panic kind of where I'm not shooting right?

   28. JRJoe Rogan31:27

       Mm.

   29. RWRemi Warren31:27

       Then I go... I'll grab that other one, "Oh, okay," and then I get back in the rhythm and, and shoot.

   30. JRJoe Rogan31:32

       Do you find any difference in your accuracy with a handheld release, like a thumb trigger release versus a finger trigger release?
4. 45:00 – 1:00:00

   Yeah. …

   1. JRJoe Rogan45:00

      rebels.

   2. RWRemi Warren45:00

      Yeah.

   3. JRJoe Rogan45:01

      Like my friend, Brian Simpson, he's Android for life. He makes fun of everybody with Apple. Gordon Ryan, same thing, Android for life, and you.

   4. RWRemi Warren45:08

      Yeah.

   5. JRJoe Rogan45:08

      You don't, you like annoying people. (laughs)

   6. RWRemi Warren45:10

      I do. I'm just like, my favorite thing is just breaking Green Bubble. You know?

   7. JRJoe Rogan45:14

      (laughs)

   8. RWRemi Warren45:14

      And the best is like, I get taken off of group texts. I'm like, "Thank God." (laughs) I hate group texts.

   9. JRJoe Rogan45:19

      Because they, they, they can't iMessage with you on.

   10. RWRemi Warren45:21

       Yeah, exactly. So I'm like-

   11. JRJoe Rogan45:22

       And it's so silly.

   12. RWRemi Warren45:22

       ... "Oh, take me off. Sweet, awesome. Thank you, I didn't wanna hear that anyways."

   13. JRJoe Rogan45:26

       Well, there's actually hearings about this now, because, uh, some people are arguing that Apple has created an unfair monopoly on the cellphone world because of the whole Green Bubble, Blue Bubble iMessage thing.

   14. RWRemi Warren45:40

       It's such a psychological...

   15. JRJoe Rogan45:41

       Yeah.

   16. RWRemi Warren45:42

       It's so weird. People are real attached to that.

   17. JRJoe Rogan45:44

       Well, it's a status thing with kids. If kids have Android phones, they get mocked. There's some nutty thing, it's like 90% of teenagers have iPhones.

   18. RWRemi Warren45:53

       Really?

   19. JRJoe Rogan45:53

       'Cause if you have like a Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, which is arguably the best phone on Earth, if you have that phone and you give a Green Bubble, you're looked at less than you have an iPhone X.

   20. RWRemi Warren46:06

       'Cause you get a, like special color bubble.

   21. JRJoe Rogan46:08

       You get a Blue Bubble.

   22. RWRemi Warren46:08

       Oh, yeah, yeah.

   23. JRJoe Rogan46:09

       'Cause you're iMessaging. You can have a old-ass iPhone and people will respect you more.

   24. RWRemi Warren46:13

       Yeah, right. (laughs)

   25. JRJoe Rogan46:13

       Like, you're not that poor. (laughs)

   26. RWRemi Warren46:17

       Yeah. (laughs)

   27. JRJoe Rogan46:17

       (laughs) But you can't... Literally, the Galaxy S24 Ultra is li- uh, listen, forget about fanboy shit, it's the best phone on Earth.

   28. RWRemi Warren46:26

       Yeah.

   29. JRJoe Rogan46:26

       It's the best phone. It has AI built into the phone that will translate in real time, built into the phone.

   30. RWRemi Warren46:32

       Yep.
5. 1:00:00 – 1:06:23

   Yeah, I noticed that.…

   1. JRJoe Rogan1:00:00

      you got weird posture. At the end of the podcast I'll be like, ugh, center of my back will be stiff. So this, these kind of chairs is like ergonomic chairs, they force you to have good posture.

   2. RWRemi Warren1:00:09

      Yeah, I noticed that.

   3. JRJoe Rogan1:00:10

      Yeah.

   4. RWRemi Warren1:00:10

      Probably speak better too.

   5. JRJoe Rogan1:00:12

      Probab- eh.

   6. RWRemi Warren1:00:13

      You-

   7. JRJoe Rogan1:00:14

      Eh.

   8. RWRemi Warren1:00:15

      You know, so like when you're-

   9. JRJoe Rogan1:00:16

      Maybe.

   10. RWRemi Warren1:00:16

       They tell you every time you sit up-

   11. JRJoe Rogan1:00:17

       Yeah.

   12. RWRemi Warren1:00:17

       ... and project. I don't know.

   13. JRJoe Rogan1:00:18

       Yeah, I guess so. Yeah, maybe. I still find myself doing this sometimes, but much more often than I would be, I sit straight.

   14. RWRemi Warren1:00:26

       Yeah.

   15. JRJoe Rogan1:00:26

       And I just support it... 'Cause posture is essentially like a static exercise, that's really what it is. You know, you're just, 'cause you kinda, your body wants to do this, you know.

   16. RWRemi Warren1:00:36

       Yeah.

   17. JRJoe Rogan1:00:36

       But so if you have to static, it's like a static hold.

   18. RWRemi Warren1:00:39

       Keep it up.

   19. JRJoe Rogan1:00:39

       That you keep up all day.

   20. RWRemi Warren1:00:40

       Yeah.

   21. JRJoe Rogan1:00:41

       Yeah. But if you do it, you'll, you're better off.

   22. RWRemi Warren1:00:44

       Yeah.

   23. JRJoe Rogan1:00:44

       (laughs)

   24. RWRemi Warren1:00:44

       (laughs)

   25. JRJoe Rogan1:00:45

       And if you do this-

   26. RWRemi Warren1:00:46

       You hurt less.

   27. JRJoe Rogan1:00:46

       ... you lean forward, though, you're gonna get a neck problem.

   28. RWRemi Warren1:00:48

       You are, but-

   29. JRJoe Rogan1:00:49

       My daughter used to go to school with this kid and I was always saying, "How does this kid even do this?" 'Cause he always had his chin to his chest. He'd be sitting out in front of the school waiting for his mom to pick him up, and this kid had his chin to his chest like this. Like, uh, he was this skinny kid and his head was, like, flat.

   30. RWRemi Warren1:01:08

       (laughs)
